FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sudden Relaxation in Money at the Close. The Rate on Call Goes Of from 1-16 and Interest to 6 Per Cent. GOVERNMENTS STRONG AND ACTIVE. Se Revival of the European Demand for United States Bonds. DECLINE IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE. The ‘Gold Market Lower, but Ral- lied by the Clique. Prices at the Steck Exchange Unsettled and Irregular. iA Decline in Pacific Mail and a Rise in Western Union. WALL STREET, } Fripay, March 21-6 P. M. On ‘Change to-day cotton was in fair request, good ordinary being reduced %c. per pound, and tow middling upland advanced ic. per pound, Flour continued quiet. Wheat and corn were ‘irmer, THE DRY Goops ImrorTs. ‘The total imports of foreign dry goods at the port wf New York during the week ending March 20, 1873, were of the specie value of $2,987,416. The ‘amount marketed during the same period was baat, THE FOREIGN MARKET. ‘The London quotations were steady for’ consols and United States bonds. Erte shares were firmer and closed at 515, equivalent to about 6444 in our currency. French rentes in Paris advanced to 55.65, doubtless on the gain of 500,000 francs in the ‘bullion account of the Bank of France during the "past week. 7 MONEY EASIER, The money market was active—perhaps it de- Berved to be called stringent—during all the earlier portion of the day, the rate om call among the stockbrokers standing at 1-16 to 1-16 and interest the greater part of the time, After two o'clock, however, there was a sensible relaxation, and the rate yielded to 1-32 and then ‘to seven per cent, gold, @nqeventually loans were made at AS LOW AS SIX PER CENT Mefore three o'clock, the sidewalk market breaking ‘up at the earliest it has separated in a good while. In explanation it is said that the clique of meney ®queezers were umable to control the rate any longer, the flow of currency to this city from the “West making a steady accumulation of money. out- #ide the sources from which they drew for their daily operations in the street, It is pretty gen- erally understood that the clique were supplied ‘with money by certain bank officials, on the agree- ‘ment that they were to allow the banks seven per cent and @ share ef the “commission,” or bonus, obtained for the use of the money from the stock- ‘brokers. Mercantile paper was nominal and un- abies 1N FOREIGN EXCHANGE. The foreign exchanges were weak and lower ‘under large sales of bankers’ bills drawn against the export to Germany of United States bonds and also of shipments of Erie vo London. Rates were reduced % at the desk, but prime sterling was to be had@ at 107% a 108%. The following are tne re- vised quotations:—Sterling, sixty days commer- cial, 107 a 1075 ; do., good to prime bunkers, 107% @ 10834; do., short sight, 108% a 108%; Paris, sixty Gays, 5.3234 @ 6.2834 ; do., short sight: 5.2334 a 5.22345 Prussian thalers, 703 @ 7144; Antwerp, 5.32), a 6.2736; Switzerland, 5.32%; a 5.2754; Hamburg, 94a 04% ; Amsterdam, 395 a 4034 ; Frankfort, 40} a 4034 ; Bremen, 94 a 9475. GOLD STEADY—115%% A 115%. The gold market opened weak despite the strenu- ous resistance of the clique, and the price went off to 11534, the downward tendency being in sympa- thy with the decline in foreign exchange, and re- ceiving help from the Custom House return of dry goods imports for the week of less than $3,000,000. It will be remembered that the small return of im- ports last week was attributed to the non-arrival of several cargoes, and that the deficiency would @ppear as an overplus this week. This calculation has not proved a correct one, the Custom House figures show. Despite these infuences tue Clique, who had some difficulty in managing the CASH GOLD at the Clearing Mouse, but got a better “pur- chase” upon it for the three o’clock deliveries, succeeded in restoring the market to 115% atthe close, their efforts being assisted by the announce- ment from Washington that the Treasury had been compelled to draw upon the extra greenbacks to the extent of another million of dollars, The course of the market is shown in the table:— 1% 8 115%, 3:05 P.M. seve 115% 8250.2. M. 15% + 1b 4PM. bya lise In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 116 for carrying to flat for borrowing. The epera- tions of the Gold Bxchange Bank were as fol- lows :— Gold cleared Gold balanc Currency balances, The Sub-Treasury paid out $87,000 on account of dnterest and $700 on account of redeemed five- twenties, RAILROAD BONDS. The railroad bonds were rather less active, but Prices were generally firm. Union Pacific in- comes were strong and advanced to 73}, but the Grate were heavy and barely steady, Central Paci- fica were weak. Boston, Hartford and Erie firsts declined to forty. The follewing were the vids at the call, a8 amended by prices in subsequent deal- tngs:— Rew York con oeciser. 2% Det Lack & westal si 108 ew York Cen Us.re..

GOVERNMENTS BUOYANT. The gevernment het was active and buoyant ‘upon large purchases by the German bankers, who Seemed to have heavy orders in the ’81’s and '67’s, which were strong at 119 and 117 respectively, ‘The registered bonds of these dates (which are not available in the foreign market) were to be had two per cent cheaper. The indications of the past few weeks point toa decided revival of the European demand for United States bonds, the consequence of a reaction from the distrust occa- sioned by the default in the interest of certain “wild-cat”? railroad bonds and from the first greedy appetite for bank and other shares in Ger- many begotten of THE FLUSH TIMES that came in with the present year. The following were the closing quotations:—United States cur- rency sixes, 11334 a 113%; do. do., 1881, registered, 117 @ 11734; do. de. do, coupon, 119 @ 11934; do. five-twenties, registered, May and November, 115% @ 116%; do. do,, 1862, conpon, do., 115% a 11645 do, do., 1864, do. do,, 115% @ 11634; do, do., 1865, do, do., 117, @ 11734; do, do, registered, January and July, 114% a 1153¢;do, do., 1865, coupon, do., 114% @ 115; do. do., 1867, do. do., 117 a 117%; do. do., 1868, do, d0., 116% @ 116%; ; do. ten-forties, reg- istered, 11034 @ 110%; do. do., coupon, 111 a 11144; do, fives of 1881, registered, 1135; @ 113%; do. do., coupon, 113% @ 118%. STOCKS DULL AND IRREGULAR. The steck market was dull in its general tenor, and prices were firm for some of the list and lower for others, The chief features were a further de- cline in Pacific Mail to 63% and an advance in Weatern Union to 8734, the one being the leader of the “weaker sisters,” as the other was the rally- ing point for the more steadfast. It was a market in which the lines between “bulla” and “bears” were but indistinctly drawn, except in individual stocks, The destruction of the Erle depot at Jersey City caused a decline in the stock to 63%. C., C. and 1, O. fell to 375, but rallied neariy one per cent toward the close, when the list generally re- covered, in answer te the relaxation in money. Panama, which was quoted ex dividend of 3 per cent, declined to 1093, but rallied 2to 3 per cent later inthe day. Harlem was weak under a Pressure of sales, and fell to 1343.

Fripay, March 21—6 P. M. The trade movement was rather brisker to-day, and in some commodities business was active at full or improved prices. As ‘a general rule, how- ever, there was but little change in values, though there was & more general movement throughout trade circles. The scarcity of tonnage was still felt, except that engaged in the petroleum trade, which was more freely offered and on terms rather more advantageous to the shipper.. Grain reom was scarce, and even dearer than previously, while the offerings were a@ little more liberal. The cot- ton market was still quiet, but spot cotton was a trifle firmer, the market having partially recovered from the late collapse. At the Produce Ex- change there was a better feeling in bread- stuffs, mduced by a rather better inquiry for account of foreign shippers. Flour ruled quiet but steady. Wheat was in better demand, how- ever, and with @ very small supply and limited receipts prices were advanced 1c. a 2c. per bushel, which had the effect of checking sales, Neverthe- Jess Chere was something done for export, and con- siderable could have been sold on the basis of yesterday's quotations, which holders universally refused. Corn remained qutet, but the market was firm. Oats were more active, and on some kinds an improvement was established. Whiskey was depressed by heavy receipts, and prices were lower, Pork and lard were rather quiet and without decided change in price, Groceries continued neglected through- out the general market, but prices underwent no ma- terialchange. Petroleum remained auil, spirits of tur- entine was dull and nominal, while rosin was active, ut at a marked decline in prices. Wool was in more de- mand andthe market firmer. i Asuxs.—Keceipts for the past three days ckages, The receipts were rather more liberal, and the « demand fair trom the jobbing trade.

BERNHARD LEVINE, + ‘BROOKLYN'S DISGRACE. The Gr: Jury Presenting the Dilapie ited Raymond Street Jail~A Perfect Penitentiary. The Grand Jury of the Kings county Court of Oyer and Terminer have been visiting the various public institutions of the county, and yesterday reported the result of their observations to Judge Pratt. They stated that their examination of the Penitentiary, Hospital and Lunatic Asylum gave them unqualified satisfaction; but they made a special reference to the Penitentiary under the charge of Keeper Shevlin and his deputy, Mr. Edward B. Crummey, which seemed to thet to have very nearly reached vig nde and full equaled, if not surpassed, the well-known Peni- tentiaries at Albany and Concord. The Grand Jury were not 80 favorably impressed with the Alms- house and Nursery, and as for the ond Street Jail they sald they could scarcely find langui San strong enough to express an abhorrence of t condition of things in that institution, This state of affairs, however, was not the result of any mis- management on the part of Sheriff Williams or Keeper Howard ©. Conraddy, but the fault of the construction of the building and tts unfitness for the purposes for which it 18 used. Here is the pic- ture of the institution as drawn by the Grand Jury i— jent receptacte of a miscell ogg dpot boys young. men, abane rant women, fraudulent debtors” aud doned ad are being daily se there from the Sherifl's Ciice and the soveral criminal Coartsor the city, The nd other accommodations athe jall are,whiolly in- ate tothe proper care and regulation of so large a ‘of prisoners and of such various grades and tions.

Mr. Erastus Mead, the lately elected President, was kept busy all day answering in person and by let- ter the numerous inquiries made of him regarding the condition of the bank, its probable losses and the amount of money the depositors would receive. The Twenty-filsh street entrance of the bank was guarded by two policemen from tne: Eighteeath precinct, who bluntly refused every one admittance who was minus a Wank book. After much delay and a deal of coaxing they were prevailed upon to allow the- HERALD representative to pass in and see the President, Mr. Mead. At first Mr. Mead was very” reticent, but after a little while he became slightly communicative, and said that, as yet, there had been no new developments in the affairs of the in-- stitution. He continued:—“The clerks are hard at ‘work, but it will be several days before anything lke a correct estimate of the losses can be made. All the books of depositors will have to be pre-- sented before we will be able to state what our losses are, and even then our figures will not be: exact.” He told the HERALD man that if he would call later in the day he would be happy to give him. ADPITIONAL INFORMATION regarding anything that might have transpired... Knowing that a meeting of the directors was to be held the party addressed waited in the bank until they arrived, and, when the gentlemen went to the president’s room, on the floor over the bank, to- hold their meeting, he requested admission, but ‘was refused on the ground that the meeting was informal and nothing in reference to the suspen- sion would done. Failing ofsuccessin this quar- ter, Mr. Richard Williamson, the late president, who resigned shortly before the mutilated books: were discovered, was called upon at his house, No. 133 Fifth avenue. Mr. Richard Williamson, Jr., saw the reporter and professed himself willing to impart any information that was in bis possession, He said his father was engaged at dinner and he did not care to have him dis- turbed. After reviewing the story of the suspen- sion, as told in yesterday’s HERALD, Mr. Williamson said he had nothing further to say, and was about to retire, when Mr. Williamson, Sr., came from the dining room and, in an excited manner, said he wanted to By something to the reporter. The son tried hard to make himeremain silent, oo rg old gentleman, who is avery nervous person, sisted on his right to speak his opi inion, * His mouth being full of unmastigated turkey and cran- berry sauce, he was unable to make himself intel- laible, but after @ strenuous effort the mouthfut was swallowed and he answered the following questions :— “Mr. Williamson, it has been said that you are in possession of information as to what disposition. ‘was made of the funds of the bank?” “Ido not know anything regarding the money: that it is claimed is deficient in the Sank, an the mutilation of the books. Tamas ignotant a os babe unborn. I know they have been tampered with, for I have seen them; but beyond that I know nothing.” “You have heard the report that you were a heavy operator in real estate while in the office of President, I presame?”” “fr have, | and most emphatically deny that I was. any more interested in real estate during my pres- idency than I was before it, son and myself have always been heavy holders of real estate.” “Were you requested to resign by the directors?)?" “No, Iwas not. I resigned on account of fl! health. My health has been failing for some time,. and my doctors advised me to take @ vacation.”” “In reference to the directors, dur. Williamson, ‘was there any division among them?” “There was not. On the contrary ae were in unison, and there never was a rapture between eerie of them either as directors er as private indi- pt hice asa body do anything to hamper the bs os of the bank or in any way disorganize its worl “No. I never heard it said that they did.” . Mr. Williamson said that he would like to have {t known that he § anxious to have tl irs cleared up as any one else, inasmuch as he and his son are among the heaviest losers, they being stockholders. . At five o’clock Mr. Mead was again called upon. He said he knew what action had been taken by the Board of Directors, but would tell nothing fur- ther than that Mr. Willett, the cashier, had peen+ called up bong the ledge! which were closely ex- amined. The deficiency [s not likely to amount to more than $100,900; oat this is mere speeniation, although Mr. Mead is rather dogmatic in his statements. APPLICATION FOR A RECEIVER, Yesterday morning application was made to Justice Fancher, in the Supreme Court Chambers, for an order for the appointment of a recciver for the bank. The application was made on behalf of Florence K. Kew, and several other creditors of the bank, in the presence of a number of de- positers, asking for the Le tetriae ef Mr. Ed- ward Stephenson, of the Fifth Natienal Bank, as receiver. Ex-Senator Laimbeer and Thompson W. Decker offered themselves as sureties in $100, each, and justified in twice that amount, papers were taken by the Court. hen Mr, Mead was infermed by the HeRrap re- porter that application had been made jor are- ceiver in the petson of Mr. Stephenson he stared very curiously and asked to have the assertion re- ated in order to discover if his ears had deceived Several gentiomen connected with the bank, ‘who were in the room at the same time, expressed thelr surprise and all fell to whispering. When Mr. Mead was disengaged he said, in answer toa question, that the bank had been closed at the sag: gestion of counsel. ‘im. STUYVESANT BANK. | 5 Meeting of Depositors=What the Rew ceiver Wants To Do. Asmall number of depositors of the bankrupt Stuyvesant Bank met at the corner of Eighth street and the Bowery last evening, with a view ot de- vising some means to obtain a portion of their funds entrusted with the institution. The conversation was of a general character, nothing being agreed upon, except the avowed purpose to combat in the United States District Courts to-day the proposition of Mr. John H, Platt, receiver,.-who desires to sell the lease of building No. 744 Broad-- way to the Sixpenny Savings Bank for $10,000. The- depositors assembled assert that better terms than this can be obtained, inasmuch as the- Stuyvesant Bank originally paid the sum of $60,000 for the lease, extending a period of ten years, and there are seven yet to run, and under the circumstances, the transfer as propose Would be manifest injustice to them, Although the Stuyvesant Bank failed elghteen months ago the depositors have never received a dime oi their money, and hence they feel indignant at the delays. SEVENTY MILLIONS FOR HEIRS, Meeting of Heirs of Anneke Jans and’ Otners in Chicago—Wills Found in Hol- land. On Tuesday last @ meeting of the Chicago heira of Anneke Jans, the old time coquette of this island, was held in Chicage, to elect delegates to the convention of heirs to be held in Trenton, N. J., on April 24, at which further revelations were made. A Chicago paper gives the following :— Sarah and Wolfort Webber and winwie Sybrant Brower died in Holland in the earl, ly part of the seventeenth century, Peat behind them a con- siderable number of, and a considerable pap of property. They also left wills bequeath. possessions to their children and their ae ace netray| heirs; but, in the course of a generation or two, those Important documents became lost in some of the musty, cobweb-covered courts of dyke- land. Recently, while explorations were being made in the interest of the Anneke Jans heirs— who, it appears, are identical with the Webber and Brower heirs—the long-lost wills were found, and it was discovered that about $70,000,000 were await- Fa & ing lawful claimants in Holland. This was a joyful itece of peta to a large number of peo} pis in ‘his country who can trace their gen cal. ree- eal ord back to the immediate descendants oft the Web- bers and Browers, some of whom settled in New York in the seventeenth century. Since the an- nouncement was made meetings have vain held in different parts of the country to make arrange- ments for Forts heirship and securing the rich ize. It is now believed that the matter will be rought before the United States Courts and def- nitely settied in a short time.
