Erie shares ‘were active and firmer and advanced to 52%. The new French loan was steady and rentes in Paris deft off at 55.65, MONEY EASY. Money was easy and plenty at a lower range of | fates, the working of the market encouraging the | hopes excited by the relaxation at the close of the previous week of retnrn to monetary ease. The rate on call ranged as high as 1 64 and interest | early in the day, but declined to 6 per cent before the close of banking hours, the last quotation being Ba7 percent. The average rate of the day’s busi- | jess was about 7 per cent coin, which is equiva- | Jent to about 8 per cent currency, terms Wall ‘treet is quite willing to pay, particularly just now fter the long siege of high rates. It is said by old | ers that the recent stringency in money has ‘nad no parallel for persistency and duration in the | HISTORY OF WALL STREET. Ke will be remembered that an estimate of the Bverage rate on call for the year 1872 made it as | high as9 percent. But for the six months from the middie of September, 1872, to the middle of | March, 1873, the rate would probably be not less than 12 or 14 per cent. It was a six months pf monetary scarcity without equal in the recol- lection, as has been said, of the oldest men of | the street. The absence of failures and bankrupt- ties is aremarkable proof ofthe prosperity of the eommunity. Mercantile paper continued nominal, and was Quoted 9 a 12 per cent discount for prime names. Foreign exchange was firmer, and actual business was done at rates nearer the asking quotations of the leading drawers, which remained unaltered. GOLD DOWN—115% A 11534. The gold market opened strong under an early “gend-oif” by the clique who gave it a smart up- ward push the moment business began, the price rising from 1153 to 115%. Under cover of this fiversion the clique, who had received timely qord of the buoyancy of our bonds in the London | market, began selling, the wider knowledge later n of the European despatches giving the market an additional impetus on the downward turn with | the eventual result of causing a decliné to 115%. fhe course of the market is shown in the table:— + 115% 2:35 P, M. 115% 3P, M. In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 7 per cent gold for carrying to flat for borrowing. fhe operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows :— Geld cleared... Gold balances Ourrency balances. The Sub-Treasury paid out $70,000 on account of | interest and $1,500 on account of redeemed five- | twenties. | THE RAILBOAD BONDS. ‘The railroad bonds were steady with the usual | ecend, Unton Pacific incomes advanced to 755, and the firate to 864, the land grants, after an early relapse, recovering to 79.

A Nashville telegram received this afternoon states that the Assessment bill, which is supplementary to the Funding bili, has passed the Lower House of the Tennessee! Legislature. In | addition to what has been already said in the con- troversy as to the sufficiency of this assessment to provide money enough to meet the payment of | interest after the proposed resumption in July, | #0 1874, the assertion is made that the Finance Board, @omposed of the Governor, Treasurer and Auditor | S00 of the State, will hold that the moneys raised by My pasessment are to be devoted to the PAYMENT OF INTEREST on the State debt in advance of and in preference to all other claims. The impression remains, how- over, that all this legislation will fail to raige the New York Central. 101% Erie........ 6535 Lake Shore 98% ‘abash.. 73% Northwestern. 81 Northwestern preferred .

The government list was strong and buoyant and prices advanced in face of the decline in gold, the long sixes of '81 being held at 119%, while the new fives roso to 114%, the 67's closing at 117%. In ad- Gition to the demand for Europe there is a wide in- quiry from domestic sources for the investment of capital during the ¢xpected monetary relaxation of the Summer, not to speak ‘of the current orders from the Eastern States for the transier of taxable Cash into the non-taxable securities of the United States against the 1st of April, when statements of PERSONAL PROPERTY are required by the local authorities, Something of the demand is also referable to a demand from parties who have had deposits.in banks, but have been alarmed by the stoppage of so eminentiy respectable a concern as tite Bull's Head Bank.

The stock market was weak at the opening, and for half an hour or so appearances favored the bearish side of the street, prices yielding during this interval.a fraction of % a } percent. But the feeling changed as if by magic un- der the easier’ working of the money mar- ket, and prices’ not only recovered but startea forward at a\smart pace, their advance being accelerated by” the announcement from Washington that the Treasury had again drawn upon the EXTRA GRERNBACKS to the extent of halfa million or so, making the total now outstanding $2,670,000, being an inflation of the currency of that amrount the past few weeks. It was rumored also (although subse- quently dented), that the. New York Central Rail- road sterling loan of $10,000,000 had been negoti- ated in London, the effect being a strong rise in Central, which helped te lead the general market in the upward direction. The chief improvement was in Pacitic Mail, which aavanced to 5754, although it failed to hold all of the improvement to the close. Panama sold at 116%, and Harlem was firmer in the vicinity of 135. Late in the day Western Union declined to 864; on the report that a heavy operator in it was lying dangerously ili at dus residence up town.

The trade movement was fair to-day, the gen- eral merchandise markets evidencing increased activity, and in some cases business was consum- mated en a higher basis. The cotton market was fairly active, while prices for spot cotton were to some extent nominal. There wasa better move- ment in dry goods, both cotton and woollen; also in wool, groceries, &c. At the Produce Exchange flour remained quiet, whiie wheat was also quiet, though firm, especially for prime samples of Spring, which were wanted io some extent at full previous prices, Some were taken for milling, and some were wanted for shipment, but the demand was checked by the extreme views of holders and the | firmness in freights, steamer room being held at higher rates. Corn was also firmer, but no busi- ness of consequence was done, as few were willing | to pay the advanced prices demanded. There was an increased movement in oats and higher prices | were the natural result. Whiskey was steady at unchanged prices. Provisions were strong, though the demand was moderate. Pork was held a little firmer, while lard was salable at a slight advance. CorFEE.—The market for Rio was considerably firmer, owing to the favorable construction of late telegrams from Rio. At late quotations there was | &good demand for cargoes, but holders declined to sell, except at advanced figures. Five hundred bags Rio per Merrimack, 94 bags Rio per Flamstead and 2,000 bags Rio per Adejaide—the latter at Bos- ton—were sold om private terms. scriptions, without decided change, were quiet We quote :—Rio—Ordinfry cargoes, 16.c. a 16}c.; fair car- goes, I7c. a 17340, ; good cargoes, 17%c. a 18c.; prime car- goes, 184c. a 18). ; extreme range for lots, 1644c. a 18%c.

The City Hospital Property Rented to Boston Parties for $30,000 Per‘Annum. Yesterday was rather a quiet day at the Ex- change as well as in private transactions. At the former Mr. James M.

Ball, for | $17,025. - HOW OUR CITY FATHERS ECONOMIZE was vividly illustrated yesterday by the scene in | the Common Council when the renting of the City Hospital, property, for occupation by the Com- | missioners of Pubiic Works, Park Commissioners, &c., came up for action. It is known that this estate had been offered to the city | at an annual rental of $25,000. One of the branches | had passed upon the measure, but action thereon | by the other was deterred until yesterday. When | the ordinance was brought up the statement was made that a Beston firm, having noticed in the HERALD that their buildings were for rent, came on, bid $30,000, being $5,000 more than the city was to pay, and carried off the prize. ‘Thus this matter was squelched, and the departments will have to | look jor accommodations elsewhere. This inci- | dent fully demonstrates that property eligibly located always commands good prices, and that the owners are by no means beholding to tardy legis- | lation of the Corporation to dispose of their pos- | sessions, The following PRIVATE SALES OF PROPERTY were reported yesterday By ¥. zitrrt, 1,026 THI lota on s. e. sorner 4th a 4th st., 100 ft.

A singular case of criminal brutality, which may result in loss of life, came to light in Morrisania, Westchester county, yesterday, on the arrest of a coachman named Carl Lomberg, who is in the em- ploy of aclergyman residing at Westchester vil- lage. It seems that on the 13th instant the ac- driving along the Southern Boulevard | when he, as is alleged, deliberately drove inte and overturned a phaeton containing two ladies, named respectively Mrs. Wallace and Miss Bullock, the former sustaining a fracture of the collar bone, a broken arm and otherpnjuries, no in a critical condition. As the prisoner lost no time in getting away from the scene of collision, his iden- tity and arrest were matters which have since al- most puzzled the police authorities, but Captain Robbins at length succeeded in ferreting out his man, who was secured as above stated by Rounds- | man Reilly and Officer Hogan, of the Morrisania fe lice force. Lomberg does not deny the charge, but says, in extenuation of his offence, that the ladies were driving on his side of the boulevard, He was held for examination. RUMORED LARGE WHISKEY SEIZURE. Excitement Around the United States Marshal’s Ofice=The Capture a Hum- | bug. ag | Quite a sensation was created in the vicinity of the United States Marshal's office, in Chambers street, yesterday morning, by the appearance on the sidewalk of about a dozen barrels lavelled Mo- nongahela whiskey and a few casks, the contents of which were not apparent. A rumor was at once set afloat that the officers of the revenue service had effected a large capture; that several illicit | stills bad been seized, and that these barrels were | & part of the spoil, A small crowd collected, and | Dam sy sa reporters flocked like eagles to’ the Marshal's office in search of information. It was | soon ascertained, however, that the barrels were “empties;” that the casks were only partly filled with sour “Bass,” and that sensation , mongers were one and all most egregiously “gold.” SUICIDE “BY TAKING POISON. On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Rosanna Smith, a woman only twenty years of age, while temporarily | deranged, swallowed a dose of Paris green, at her | residence, No, 42 Thompson street, for the purpose | of terminating @ miserable existence.

Upon mis fe return she told him what she had dene, when a doctor was summoned, but without any lasting benefit, as Mra, Smith died at three o’elock yesterday morning.

The hammer of the temporary chairman brought speculation to 4 standstill, and a permanent chair- man, in the person of Mr, Cameron, was elected. Alter ¢ orion aud a few irrelevant remarks by the chosen to thetr constituents boainess- was_pre- ceeded with.
