The stringency in the money market was about 8 Severe as ever, at least fer a good portion of the day, the interchange of money at usurious rates beihg in remarkable contrast to the spectacle of a Grand Jury seated not a quarter of a mile away nvestigating the charges of violation of the law. During the day a number of ramors prevailed of intended Treasury interference to relieve the Money market, in connection with which came Special advices*from Washington saying that the Tecent visit of President Grant to THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY and interview with him had no reference tothe Subject of modifying the Treasury programme with @ view to affecting the New York money market. It ‘Was aiso asserted on behalf of Assistant Secretary Sawyer that his recent trip to this city had no con- nection with the monetary crisis. With all this denial of matters, which found their origin in the ‘Ropes of the borrowing part of the street, there was Bmore cheerful tone, notwithstanding the strin- gency and strong bellef in its early abatement, especially as it was: reported that the express companies had brought nearly two and a half mil- Hons of CURRENCY FROM THE INTERIOR in the consignments of to-day. The rate on call in the usual way went as high as %; per cent and in- terest, but +4 per cent was frequently paidefor turning some of the high-priced stocks, such as Rock Island, As the day advanced the market ve- came easier, and before three o'clock a good deal of money had been loaned at ‘4 per cent, one small transaction occurring at plain 7 per cent, which as the general rate among the government deal- ers throughout the day, The demand continued until a‘ter three o’clock, however, and borrowers at the close were willing to pay ‘4 per cent for ac- commoedation over bight. Commercial paper was, Qs may be fancied, altOgether neglected. The outstanding extra greenbacks this evening are $2,400,009, an increase since last report of $119,000. The United States Treasury balances now stand as follows :—Currency, $2,100,000, and coin, $70,700,000, The coin certificates in circulation amount to $23,230,600. FOREIGN EXCHANGE LOWER. The continued scarcity of money led to a further reduction in the rates of foreign exchange, the leading drawers lowering their rates for sterling to 1074< for sixty day and 108%4 for sight bills. This ecline, as well as the rather éasier signs in money at the close, induced a steady feeling in the for- eign exchanges late in the day, when the market left off as follows :—Sterling, sixty days’ commer- Cial, 1064; a 10674; do., good to prime bankers’, 107 @107%;; dlo., short sight, 108'4 a 108%; Paris, sixty Gays, 5.364 25.3114; do., short sight, 5.267% 25.26%; Prussian thalers, 7034 @ 71; Antwerp, 5.35 a 5.30; Switzerland, 5.35 a 5.30; Hamburg, 94 a 94%; Am- @terdam, 39%; a 3974; Frankfort, 40\¢ a 40%; Bre- men, 94 a 9455, GOLD LOWER—1187% A 11814. The gold market, in the absence of quotations from London, where Easter Monday was cele- rated as a close holiday, was unsettled by alter- nating local influences. It opened strong, and ad- anced from 1184, to 118%, as ifin direct obedience to olique manipulation, and thence declined to 18%, as if the clique had made a market tosell apon. The rumors from Washington ef intended extra gold sales by thé government had their in- fuence for a while, however much they were coubted or disbelieved at the close. The course of fae market 1s shown in the table: In the gold loan market the rates ranged from four per cent per annum to 3-32 a day for carrying. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were Geld cleared.

In the Southern State bonds the Tennessees were weak and declined to 78%, the only other transactions recorded at the Board being in Mis- souris, which were about steady at 934%. ‘The fol- lowing were the closing quotations as far as any. were made:—Tennessee, ex-coupon, 79 a 79. do., new, 783g @ 79; Virginia, ex-coupon, 44 a 48 do., registered stock, old, 36 a 40; do., sixqg con- solidated bonds, 534 a 53%; do., sixes, deferred Scrip, 13}, a 14; Georgia sixes, 70 a 75; do, sevens, 87 a 90; North Carolina, ex-coupon, 30 a 31; do, to North Carolina Railroad, 57 a 60; do., funding, 1866, 19 a 22; do., do., 1868, 17 a 20; do., new, 17 a18; do., special tax, 14 a 15; Missouri sixes, 9334 @ 94; do., Hannibal ana St, Joseph, 90 @ 915, Louisiana sixes, 42 a 47; South Carolina sixes, 30 a 40; do., new, January ana July, 19 a 20; do., do., Aprjl and October, 27 a 30; Arkansas sixes, funded, 39 a 42, GOVERNMENTS LOWER. ‘The government list was lower, with the decline in gold, but’ lost ground in less proportion, and, after a decline of 3 per cgnt and a pretty active business in the leading issues, rallied 1s at the close, even when gold was at the lowest of the day. The following were the closing quota- tions :—United States currency sixes, 115% a 11334; do, do., 1981, registered, 117 a 11714; do, do. do., coupon, 120% a 12044 ; do. five-twenties, registered, May and November, 112% a 113%; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 117% a 117% ; do. do,, 1864, do, do., 11744 117%; do. do., 1865, do. do., 1195 a 119% ; do. do., 1867, registered, Jamuary and July, 1164 a 116%; do. do., 1885, coupon, do., 117 a 11744; do. do., 1867, do. do., 1191 a 11934; do. do., 1868, do. do, 117 a 117%; do, ten-forties, registered, 111 a 112; do. do., coupon, 113 a 11334; do. fives of 1881, regis- tered, 11445 4115; do. do. do., coupon, 115 a 115g. STOCKS UNSETTLED AND STRONG. The stock market was quiet in its general aspect, -as were, in fact, most departments of business in Wall street during the day, the speculative interest being in abeyance pending the stringeney in money and the solution of the legal problem before the Grand Jury. Meantime a petition has been put into circulation for signatures by the bankers and all business men down town asking the Governor of the State to recommend to the Legislature the enactment of a special bill repealing the usury laws for the city and county of New York. When the document has received names enough to attest the wishes of the business community it will be forwarded to Albany. Under the hopes of anot distant raising of the monetary siege the transac- tions in stocks were generally on A FIRMER BASIS, and at times the market was disposed to be buoyant, as indicated in the case of New York Cen- tral, which rose from 100% to 101%, with as high as 102 paid, buyer three days. In the same way Western Union tdfiched 86, buyer five days, and was actively dealt in at 8534, regular way. Panama rose to 1104, ina lively spurt at the close. A rally of about three-quarters per cent in Boston, Hart- ford and-Erie was quite a consolation to the more juvenile operators of the street. Pacific Mail, true to its proverbidl character for wide and frequent fluctuations, vibrated between 56% and 57%, re- taining, like the mathematical frog in the well, something of an advance between each rise and fall.

Cotton Dull; Receipts at the Ports, 10,898 Bales—Flour Steady—Wheat Firm—Corn Firmer=—Pork Steady— Lard Firmer—Grocertes Generally Quiet—Petroleum Dull and Lower— Spirits Turpentine Firmer—Rosin Steady—Whiskey Higher. Monpay, April 14—6 P. M. The trade movement was still retarded by the extreme stringency in the money market and the high rates of interest. The demand for merchan- ise was moderate; but there was, nevertheless, little or no relaxation trom the full prices hitherto demanded for nearly all kinds of merchantable goods. At the Produce Exchange business was very moderate and confined mostly to immediate requirements, Merchants generally being disin- speculative ventures, in view the uncertainty regarding the fature. Flour was quiet, but steady. The wheat market was firm, though quict, the limited supply ena- bling holders to command full prices, notwith- | standing the limited inquiry from both mitiers and | shippers. Corn ruled firmer under a better de- mand {or shipment, and better prices were real- ized. Oats were also firm, with a fair inquiry. Whiskey was firmer under limited receipts and a fairdemand. Provisions were still firm, with a good export demand. Cotton was lower, and ruled an \ye. easier for future. Groceries were quiet and steady. Petroleum was nominally lower. Spirits turpentine ruled firmer, while rosin was about steady. ‘he market continued dull for lots from first and pricé’ of Rio were easier. In a jobbing way the out of town trade was fair at about steady | prices.

Suspension of the Firm of Escher & Co.—Liabilities, $1,250,000—Dull Trade the Cause Assigned=The House at ‘Zurich Suspends First. Yesterday morning a report was curreat in and about Wall street that the well-known silk import- ing house of Escher & Co., having the,main neuse in the city of Zurich, Switzerland, had failed, and a Small excitement, in the absence of details of lla- bilities, was the result, A representative of this paper was despatched to the firm in this city, at 473 Broome street, to ascertain full particulars, and, if possible, the cause assigned for the suspension. The concern is an ola one, having been knowm as Escher & Co. for many years, and the senior partner of the house having been engaged in the business of ex- porting and importing silks for the last twenty- five years. Specialty was made by the New York firm of importing Lyons, Swiss and German sitks. They enjoyed the sole agency in the United States for the sale of the black silks and Mantilla of Antoine Quinet & Co., Lyons, the di merinos and cotton goods of Fevey Freres & Charvet, Paris. bg ‘The members of the firm have always been ac- counted opulent, and in the mercantile agency books Escher & Co, were marked aimong the highest in standing. The firm in this city were but little posted in regard to the disaster on the other side and were unable, therefore, to furnish any valuable information, A despatch, per cable, was received on Saturday last announcing that Escher & Co. had suspended, but stating nothing relative to the cause or regarding the liabilities or assets, It has since been learned that the liabili- ties of the Swiss house will reach $1,250,000, The assets are unknown. ‘The business in this city has not been interrupted, and will be carried on by Mr. W. H. DeForrest, who has been notitled by all the various manufacturers doing business with the old establishment to act as their agent. Mr. DeForrest has been with the house for the last thirteen years, and he will pro- ceed to dispose of the goods on hand. In casual conversation with a member of a yaae dry goods and silk firm in this city, the HkRALD reporter learned that tiles failures are anticipated during the present month, owing to the fact that business has been exceedingly dull. ina should be a very brisk month in the dry goods line, as but little 18 expected to be done later in the Spring. It is positively asserted also that lack of trade was the main caiise jor the present suspension, a contin- gency that the best of merchants cannot provide against or foresee. BEAL ESTATE MATTERS, In public transactions we have only one single sale to quote, and that was effected by Messrs, Mailer, Wilkins & Co., who disposed of the three story house and lot No, 71 West Fourth street, be- tween Wooster and Laurens, lot 25 by 100, to Mr. Arthur Gillender, by order of the executors of the late Lydia Beebee, for $22,250. At private sale, however, Mr. John McClave sold four lots on the southwest corner of Seventh avenue and 148th street for $27,500, which transaction is very significant from the fact that it establishes values in this part of the eity, as this is the first sale made upon which to base any calculation of prices. It requires considerable pluck in a pur- | chaser to locate in a locality Where rates of prop- erty are nominal, as is the case here, and the pioneer im such an enterprise deserves credit for his boldness, and in this instance he is sure to reap considerable pecuniary advantages. ‘The sale of Westchester property to be made to- day by Messrs. Muller, Wilkins & Co. (noted in yesterday’s HERALD) —viz.: ninety valuable plots or 128 city lots ir Central avenus, between 165th and 168th streets—will be one of the important features of the day. Lots less eligibly located tn Westchester have sold within the past year for $1,200. INCENDIARY FIRE IN BROOKLYN, The three story frame building Nor 415 Fulton street, in the block known as “bedbug row,” was burned at an early hour yesterday morning, about three o'clock. The structure was occupied by | Charles Daniels, the costumer, whose loss on stock he claims to be $6,000. His property was insured for $2,000 in the Manhattan and Williamsburg City Insurance companies. There 1s also a policy for 700 on furniture held a Daniels in the last named company. The building, Which is owned by Mr. Willoughby, was damaged to the extent of $1,000; insured fer $1,500 in the Continental The place was set on fire in several places, and tne Fire Marshal, who is investigating the affair, is of the opinion that the fire was of incendiary origin. On the night of March 31 the building was set fire to, but it was early discovered, and the flames were extinguished before much damage was occasioned. There were three persons asleep in the house besides Daniels, all of whom disclaim any knowledge as to the man- ner of kindling the fire, The case jp still under in- vestigation. . THE BROOKLYN MALPRACTICE OASE, The German doctri Mrs. Kolls, the woman who was arrested on Wednesday last on suspicion of woman who claimed to be the wife of General Ar- lington, was admitted to freedom by Justice Del- mar yesterday upon her own recognizance. The patient, Mrs. Arlington, Wo is on « fair road to re- covery, under treatment received at the Long Island College Hospital, stated yesterday that she desired to have nothing to de with the prosecution of Mra, Kolls, and declared that the misfortune of Monday week was the first false s ep of her life, A Miss Thomas, an intimate iriend of Arlington, has been arrested as a witness in the case, and the police contend that the invalid is an adventuress. NEWARK ORIME AND ORIMINALS. Incendiarism—How Convicts Hood- winked the Vigilant Officer at the Court Hous John Patton and John Rowen, both young men, were arrested late on Sunday night, charged with setting fire to the stable of Mr. Thomas G. Patton, 14 Bleecker street. The latter is father of the first named alleged incendiary. Rowen admitted the truth of the accusation, but charges that Patton put him ap tothe job and actually did the act of firing. This remains to be seen at the examination. Yesterday William Thompson, colored, thief, and Witham Dougherty, shoulder-| “hitter, were conveyed from the Essex County Jail to the Court house for trial, Both pleaded guilty, Thompson to thieving and Dougherty to assau' it and battery. While awaiting sentence the pair went into the water closet, tore off the ceiling boards, passed up through the Prosecutors’ room, down into the Grand Jury room and passed out of the building as bold as — brass and without having even once attracted the attention of the vigilant corps of lively young constables, who have three or four times within a year or $0 permitted criminals to walk of on their ears in the easy manner described and through the same eae tine at it re tala ot the id om. cers of the Court loo) vo Strauge alertness Gf UG CORE bAD Gee . having performed an unlawful operation upon the | FUR!
