ony ~ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Farther Stringeney and a Closing Relaxation in Money. Phe Bate on Cail Touches One Per Cent a Day and Declines to 1-16, THE GOLD SPECULATION HEAVY. The Market Quieter and the Premium Lower. DECLINE IN GOVERNMENT BONDS. Bumored Intention of the Treasury to Re- lieve the Money Market, —_—-—— The Report Denied, but Wall Street Still Expectant. A Stubborn Contest Between “Bulls” and “Bears” at the Stock Exchange. A SHARP ADVANCE IN PRICES. WALL STREET, Tourspay, April 1-6 P. ‘w.} On Change to-day spot cotton was neglected and more or less nominal, while future attracted con- siderable attention at a decline of %c. a ‘sc. per pound. Flour continued quiet and unchanged. ‘Wheat and corn were nominally steady. THE EXPORTS OF THE WEEK. The totalexports of domestic merchandise from the port of New York to foreign ports during the week ending Aprill, 1873, were of the currency value of $5,361,289, making the total exports since January 1, $64,387,898. In the statement of the imports yesterday an Srithmetical error made them $10,000,000 too much. ‘The right total is $113,332,540. THE FOREIGN MARKET. ‘The table quotations from London show a re- every in the markets there, consols having m- proved %, while United States bonds are in some Cases atrite better, and in all cases firm. Erie shares were exceptionally weak and lower at 50%, but this was before the receipt of the news of the closing reaction in the New York market. THE PUBLIC DEBT. Contrary tothe prophecies of a few days since ‘the public debt statement of April 1 shows a reduc- tion, the amount of reduction being $1,644,050, The tetal debt, less cash in the Treasury, is now $2,165,736,642. The coin in the Treasury is $69,537,376, and the currency $2,663,840. ‘The out- standing legal tender circulation is $358,509,042. THE MONETARY STRINGENCY. The monetary stringency continued as severe as ever, and the rate on call again ranged as high as ‘% per cent per annum, as a regularly quotable Qgure, with one or two exceptional transactions Bt as high as 1 per cent a day, equivalent to 365 per vent per annum. The demand lasted nearly an hour alter three o’clock, and many accounts were “pet made up until Trinity was striking four welock, to which hour the down-town banks, partly by courtesy and’ partly through policy, have mded the time for depositors to make good their accounts. The stringency had this NEW FEATURE, however—that, whereas the demand continued to the last moment on Monday, at the highest rate, the supply increased late in the day, and the rate ‘had fallen by a quarter to four e’clock to as low as 1-16 and interest. Much of this was attributed to rumors (but why, the connection is not exactiy plain), that the Secretary of the Treasury had de- vided to remit ten millions of greenbacks to New York, to be placed where they would “do most good.” The rumor found a wide credence, although it was positively denied at the Sub-Treasury, and had much to do with imparting a firm tone to the stosing temper of the stock market. THE RETURN OF MONEY te the city is already conspicuously important, and from indices given in the case of two or three downtown banks the amount received the past two days has not been less than a million of dol- ‘ara Phe Secretary of the Treasury has called in for redemption all the remainder of the 3 per cents, amounting to $825,000, on which interest will cease May 31, thus cancelling and obliterating one ef the many loans sprung of the civil war and its monetary necessities. Commercial paper was en- tirely nominal, Foreign exchange was lower by an eighth at the counter, but continued de- moralized, actual sales of prime sixty days ster- Ung being reported at 107%; a 1074. THE RAILROAD BONDS. ‘The pressure for money ied to some disposition to sell the railroad bonds and also checked the Bidding. The following is the recora of the bids at the board as amended by prices in subsequent @ealings, the April interest being taken off in bonds | marked “X”:— ‘ork Cen ¢’s.re.. Tol & Wab 2dm..

The follow- img were the closing quotations :—Tennessee, @x-coupon, 80 a 80'5; do., new, 80 a 80%; Vir- q@inia, ex-coupon, 44a 47; do., registered stock, Old, 36 @ 40; do., sixes, consolidated bonds, (ex int.) $2 268 do., sixes, deferred scrip, 14 a 14%; Georgia sixes, 708 75; do. revens, 87 a North Carolina, €X coupon, 30 a 32; do. to North Carolina Railroad, 68 @ 62; do. funding, 1866, 19 a 24; do. do., 1868, 17 a 19; 4o., new, 16 @ 17; do., special tax, 12 a 16; Missouri sixes, 933; a 94; do, Hannibal and St. Jo- seph, 90 a 91; Louisiana sixes, 42 a 47; Ala- Dama fives, 55 a 60; do. eights 80 a 85; South Carolina sixes, 30 a 40; do., new, January and July, 18 @ 20; do. do., April and October, 20a 23;/ Ar- Baneas sixes, funded, 30 a 42. GOLD LOWER—117 "4 A 116%. ‘The gold market was lower and feverish, but the quotations were marked by narrower and less vio- lent fuctustions, It was the general impression that the clique had unloaded the greater part of their gold and in this belief the price declined to 116% after a fractional advance early in the day to 117%. The theory most generally advanced in part expianation of the advance in gold is the heavy importation of foreign goods, particularly as the imports at this port are so far in excess of THE BXPORTS. But this influence is rather nominal than real &nd Would be of littie avail had not active, persist- ent speculation been behind it to help it. Looking at the figures we find that the imports at this port @inee January 1 to date have been about $113,000,000 end the exnorts trom thie port $64.000,000, Ac NEW YORK cording to the proportion which rules in the im- ports and exports throughout the whole United States these figures would give a tota? tmporta- tion of less than $170,000,000 at ali the ports and exports Of $160, 000,000. THE DISCREPANCY being too small to account for so large an advance tm the price of gold, especially as we have shipped during the same time about $14,000,000 of gold and silver. The course of the market is shown in the table :— 1P.M. In the gold loan Market the rates ranged from ‘Tper cent, gold, to % percent for carrying. The. operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol- lows Oe + 2,470,876 The Sub-Treasury paid out $24,000 on account of interest and $70,000 on account of redeemed five- twenties. GOVERNMENTS DOWN. The government list was demoralized by the pressure for money and prices at times were down to what the street styled “ragged” figures, the currency sixes breaking to 112% cash. The gen” eral list was off an average of fully one per cent at the close, when the following prices prevailed, the registered May and November bonds being quoted ex the May interest:—United States currency sixes, 118 a 1133¢; do. do., 1881, registered, 116% @ 117%; do. do. do., coupon, 118 a 119; do. five- twenties, registered, May and November (ex inter- est), 11144 8 11214; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 115 a 116; do. do., 1864, do. do., 115 a 116; do. do,, 1865, do. 116 8 117; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 5 a 11634; do. do, 1865, coupon, do., 114% @ 11534; do. do., 1867, do, do., 116% a 117; do. do., 1868, do. do., 116% a 117; do, ten-forties, registered, 111 a 1114; do. do., coupon, 1113¢ a 11: do. fives of 1881, registered, 114 a 114% ; do. do. do., coupon, 114 114%. STOCKS AOTIVE AND STRONG. However fanciful and various the theories of the “bulls” in gold and money as to the extravagance of the country in its imports of foreign luxuries and its wasteful domestic life, the course’ of the stock market gave token of a widespread belief in the attractiveness of its wares at current quotations, the demand in such & monetary crisis being almost an anomaly. The market opened at about the leve) of the lowest prices of Monday, and thenceforward for several hours the numbers of buyers and of sellers were so evenly matched that while the money market was undergoing a recurrence of its severest spasms of stringency stocks stood steady and even firm. At length the “bulls got the up- perhand in this REMARKABLE STRUGGLB, and, being helped by the rumors of intended Treasury interference in behalf of the money market, and by the actual relaxation in money itself toward the close of dealings therein, they capped the climax of thetr triumph by running up the whole market to figures which recompensed them for the task of abiding the severity of the monetary stringency. In the case of Harlem there ‘was a temporary advance to 140 on the announce- ment that the directors had sanctioned the lease to the New York Central on substantially the terms already recorded in the HERALD. Panama recovered to 112. The general list advanced one to three per cent, Pacific Mail closing ata rise to 56%. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

Turspay, April 1—6 P. M. Business was fairly active, but still irregular, to- day—the high gold premium tending to unsettle values to aconsiderable extent, notwithstanding | the fact that few believed in the permanancy of the prevailing large discrepancy between the com- parative valu of gold and the currency. | The extraordinary rise in the gold premium at this particular time is very generally re- garded as purely speculative, emanating from the tenacity with which the Secretary of the Treasury clings te the conviction that he has | authority to issue ‘“greenbacks to the tent of nearly $50,000,000, at his option—and the apprehension that he will follow in the steps of his predecessor and manufacture money whenever he may choose so to do, In view of these facts it | is no wonder that there should be great irreguiar- ity in trade circles, or wherever the price of gold exerts the least influence. Cotton was still dull and nominal. At the Produce Exchange the mar- kets were very quiet, and not even the high price of gold served to infuse vigor into them. Flour was exceedingly quiet. Wheat was dull but firm for choice Spring, which could not be obtained in any quantity at yesterday's prices, Corn was dull and nominal. Oats were unchanged. Whiskey was firm.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS, Sale of the Famous Post Estates Over One Million Dollars Realized Immense Crowds at the Exchange and Extraordinary Bidding Made fos Lots=<Two Corner Lots Bringing $18,100 and $18,000—The Effect of tha Sale on the General Market—A Tigh: Money Market H No Effect om Sales of Real Estate. Never before in the history of selling real estata in the city of New York was a property better os more extensively advertised than was the sale of the celebrated Post estate, which came under tha hammer of Messrs. Muller, Wilkins & Co. yester, day, at the Real Estate Exchange. The colunns of the various newspapers were teeming with the an- nouncements, and flaming posters, from which ha “who runs may read,’ of the forthcoming publig disposal, all tended to crowd the salesroom with one of the largest and richest assemblages ever congregated within its walls. Punctually at twelve o'clock Mr. Peter F. Meyer, Mr. Fowler's chief factotum, called the audience ta | order by means of ringing the gong. The veteran auctioneer, Mr, Adrian H. Muller, mounted the ros+ trum, and lus sen read in a clear, loud voice tha terms of the sale, dimensions of the property, &c. Business began by offering the lot 256x100) designated on the map as No, 102, 0n the north, west corner of Riverside avenue and 129d streets | This property was started at $15,000, and rapidly run up to $18,100, when the bidding lagged, and | this being the offer of Mr. Cyrus Clark he was dex Thus was the ice broken, and the criterion ef prices seema to have been indicated by this nel down.” Lot 101, on the corner opposite, ‘was next put up and realized $18,000, thet naib! purchaser being Mr. John 8S. Vredenburg, but ii reality a Pine street broker. For two hours the sale progressed, and did not lose a jot of its inte~ rest during its continuance, The best of humo prevailed throughout, and capitalists seemed to Nave suddenly awakened to the tdea that their | Goicenda had been discovered, consisting of River- | Side lots, They therefore bid recklessly and with considerable extravagance. Numerous lessons are to be deducted from tha | great sale just closed. The result has been anx- {ously looked forward to as establishing permaneny vaiues on west side property generally and Riversia Park lots in particular. Then we are admonish that a money market, be it ever so stringent, cal have no effect whatever in influencing the sale of real estate—vide the extravagant prices paid out | for purchases yesterday. It Is true that only ten per cent of the purchase money had to be deposited on the day of ba 3] twenty per vent when the title is | enty per cent can remain on bond and marten, which is considered as being very considera' Yet at that rate about three hundred and tistg thousand dollars cash will be realized, leaving about twice as much more under the amplest #e- | curity, bringing seven per cent interest for an definite period to come; providing, Legacy all the lots ag offered were sold to others beside: the heirs, The total amount of the gale figures u) $1,094,100 and exceeds that of the aD estate by about a quarter of a million. Buyers yesterday displayed a it deal of e: citement and evinced a determination to pess the particular spot selected for an investment hence the iively competition. However, ever: is pleased, and let us hope that this brilliant ‘a action forms the avant courier of @ pray, "spring season, which is badly needed, espects tate operations have been aheniog akg tha “slough of despond” during the past four or five weeks. ‘The otner sales at the Exchange were entirety overshadowed by the Post estate.
