WALL STREET, } TvEspAy, April 22—6 P. M. -On’Change to-day cotton continued quiet and steady. Flour was in more demand and steadier, ‘while wheat and corn were fairly active and decidediy firmer, THE EXPORTS OF THE WEEK. The total exports of domestic merchandise from the port of New York to foreign ports for the week ending April 22, 1873, were of the currency value of +$6,947,500. This amount is, we believe, the largest for any week in the history of the port and indi- scates a healthy condition of OUR FOREIGN TRADE, If the exports from all other parts of the coun- ‘try during the week have been in the same propor- tion the total exports have reached the handsome Aggregate of about $17,000,000, Much of the in- crease is due tothe high premium on gold and to the recent recovery in THE FOREIGN EXCHANGES, ‘the combined influence of which has made a ready Market abroad for our cotton, wheat, petroleum, cheese and other domestic products ; but more of it is attributable to the steady expansion of our agri- eultural and industrial enterprises and their in- creased capacities under the application of im- Proved mechanism and the progress of skill in labor. THE FOREIGN MARKET. The London quotations were steady for consols sand firm for United States securities, the '67’s and ten-forties being a trifle higher. Erie shares were heavy and 3g lower. The new French loan was steady and rentes in Paris were a shade firmer at 56.07. In view of the firmness of London prices the street has ceased to canvass the probability -of any immediate advance in the bank rate, MONEY MORE ACTIVE. The sudden relaxation in money brought about a very natural reaction, particularly as it tended to induce the withdrawal of balances which had been attracted to Wall street for employment at the srecent high rates, but which the owners were un- ~willing to iend at as little as 7per cent, The influx ~of currency from the interior continues in a steady stream, but the money seems to be absorbed by the necessities of the Stock Exchange as fast as it arrives, so that the withdrawal of the funds loaned temporarily to the street for high rates has caused @ hardening tendency which to-day was evinced in the ADVANCE OF TIE RATE ON CALL to 1-16 per cent, equivalent to about 23 per cent per annum. The other extreme was plain 7 per cent, at which some of the leading brokers con- tinued to supply themseives by application at bank With first class stock collaterals and wide margins. Among the government dealers money was abun- dant all day at seven per cent. Toward the close | she rate receded again, and leit off at about 1-23, The stir in mercantile paper has led to a little busi- ness On the basis of 10412 per cent for first class ‘names. The foreign exchange market opened with @ further advance of +; per cent in prime sterling, but then relapsed into dulness, and closed heavy, the nominal quotations of 108%{ and 109%. ‘Good’? bankers’ three day sight sterling sold at 10914. GOLD UNSETTLED—117}5 A 117% A 117 The gold market was unsettled, but generally ~weak, The clique endeavored to make use of the advance in the nominal rates for sterling and ran the price up to 117% early m the day; but sales nouncement of the heavy experts for the week, amounting to nearly $7,000,000, causing some trans- actions in the afternoon at aslow as 11744. The course of the market is shown in the table: In the gold loan market the rat per cent for carrying to fiat for borrowing. ranged from 7 The m0 Operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as | bo follows :— Gold cleared..

The regular semi-annual meeting of the Gold Exchange was held this afternoon, at which re- + ++ $95,952,000 ports were submitted by R. L. Edwards, Treasurer, | By and William P. Westcott, Secretary. The cash re. ceipts for the past six months were $34,917, and | the expenditure $20,452. The balance in bank smounts to $143,068. From the Secretary’s report it appears that there are 453 members in iuli stand- ing, 44 associate members, and 122 powers of at- torney. THE RAILROAD BoNDs, The market for railroad bonds revealed a better inquiry, and rather more was doing, especially in the Erie mortgages and the Union Pacific bonds, the latter being active at an advance of 4 a % per cent. Boston, Hartiord and Erie firsts declined to 89%, but closed at 40, The new Canada Southern firsts were done at 02);.

The '67's sold at 119%, but were held at 120 at the close. The sixes of 1881 rose to 121 a 121% and the new fives to 116%.

STOCKS DULL AND WEAK, Stocks were fairly steady at the start and dis- played more or less firmness up to midday, when, under the more active inquiry for money, they began to recede, the market eventually becoming weak and prices declining an average of }; a \ per cent, The weak spot was Pacific Mail, which went off to 583g, the next most important decline occur- ring in Western Union, which solid down to 85, Northwestern fell off to 80%, The success of the rescue of the C. C, C, and I, road, from the propesed consolidation with the Atlantic and Great Western, has been followed by a rise in the stock to 86, Albany telegrams report the revival of the move- ment in the Legislature for the repeal of the Usury laws, and indicate early action upon the question, the chances of success being favorable, so far as the proposition applies to New York county.

Il THE BULL'S HEAD BANK. say Sat! The Bank To Be Opened This M ning=w The Mecting at Demilt Hall Last Night. A meeting of the depositors of the Bull’s Heaw Bank was held at Demiit Hall, corner of Twenty- third street and Second avenue, last night. It waa expected that a written repert would be read, but Such was not the case, as no statement was made further than that contained in the speeches. Mr. SAMUEL WILLETS, who was elected president of the meeting, introduced Mr. Cameron a3 tue first speaker. In the course of his remarka Mr. CAMBRON said the Bull’s Head Bank was now on ON A SOLID AND SUBSTANTIAL FOUNDATION; that it was better prepared to meet and stand a ron to-morrow—at which time it will be opened— than any other bank in the city. ir. Morr was next on the floor, He said he had little of nothing to say further than that this was the only successiul attempt to reopen a collapsed bank that he had ever heard of, and that it was an en, of which the depositors might well be proud. 4 resolution was passed THANKING THE COMMITTEE OF SEVEN for their energ, rey in bringing about the reorganiza- tion of the ban! The bank will be open at the usual hour this morning, when all demands will be paid in full REAL ESTATE MATTERS. A Slim Attendance on ’Change—Impor- tant Sale of Fifth and Madison Avenue Property—*Waiting for the Harsen Estate. According to advertisements, and the valuable parcels of property offered, the attendance at the Exchange yesterday should have been very large. As it was, only a slim assemblage “put im an ap- pearance,’’ but this was composed of solid and sub- stantial business men. ‘They: seemed, however, dispirited, and manifested but little interest in the proceedings, The bidding was done mechanically and without the slightest animation. The various parcels meationed below were disposed of, while @ good deal other property which was “up” for sale was withdrawn and other sales postponed. It is only tooevident that operators are awaiting the disposition of the Harsen estate, when the real business of the season will commence. The same was said of the Carman and the Post estates, and itis to be hoped that the third prognostication will prove true on the principle that “there is luck. in odd numbers.’" The first important transaction in Fifth avenue property for some time past occurred yesterday, Messrs. Muller, Wilkins & Co. having disposed of a full lot, 25x100, located on this thoroughfare, sev- enty-flve feet north of Biante street, for $53,000. This is considered a low price for lot, considering the eligibility of its location, facing, as it does, the Central Park. A lot adjoining this was sold about three months ago for the same price at private sale; hence it may be taken for granted that Fifth avenue prop- erty has neither decreased nor appreciated in value since then, But it is hardly fair to judge this or any other real estate from the sale yesterday. The day was very gloomy, and everybody who has any surplus funds to invest is holding otf for the great sale _to-morrow—hence the realizations for yester- day’s offerings are by no meuns a criterion to 0 by. = Messrs. Muller, Wilkins & Co, likewise offered for sale some valuable Madison avenue property. One lot on the southwest corner of Madison avenue and Sixty-eignth street was knocked down to Mr. Grifith Rowe, a very heavy operator, for $30,250. The purchaser, however, on finding out that tha lot was on Sixty-elghth street, desired to withdraw his bid, stating that he labored under the imprea- sion that he was buying the property corner ot Fifty-seventh street. The auctioneer, however, strictly adhered tothe “knock down,” and Mr, Rowe will be held for the purchase, Mr. V. K. Sadi President of the Real Estate Trust Company, bought the lot adjoining for 350. $25,350. STiie lot on the northwest corner of Madison ave- nue and BS er erat was started at $45,000; but no one bidding any more, it was withdrawn. ‘The other property on Madison avenue sold by the same auctioneers will be iound described in the annexed ae Messrs. E. H. Ludlow & Co. likewise advertised the valuable leasehold property from the Trinity church corporation known as No. 256 Broadway and Nos. 5, 7 and 9 Murray street, but, in the ab- sence of adequate bids, withdrew the sale, ‘To-morrow will be a very busy day, as the long- expected and talked-of sale of the estate of the late Dr. Jacob Harsen (tully described this column on the 21st inst.) will be offered by Messrs, Muller, Wilkins & Co, ‘The following are the details of yesterday's public transactions at the Exchange:— BY MULLER, WILKINS AND CO.

RIVER THIEVES’ RAID, Three Brooklyn Vessels Pillaged. Some bold river thieves, well armed, made a raid yesterday morning, between the hours of two and four o'clock, on some vessels lying at the Brooklyn wharves, About two o’clock four of these pirates boarded the brig of Captain Ford, lying at the footor Washington street, and nearly frightened the Cap- tain’s family to death. The Captain's wife, mother and two children were sleeping in one cabin, and the Captain in another, The Captain’s wife was the first awakened, and, seeing the thievs«, screamed. The noise awakened the Captain, bub when he came out one of the thieves presented A PISTOL AT HIS HEAD, and assured him that if he made any noise or re+ sistance that would be the last of him. The Cap~ tain very wisely kept quiet, while the thieve: $70 worth of his wile’s jewelry, @ Small amount money and some other Pron and deparced with their booty in a small boat pmpire EO, the same who robbed cl Ford, Captain Wilton, of the Lae og made an at- tempt to get his revolver, but wags knocked dowa by one of the thieves, while another took comet sion of bis Pal and threatened to blow his brains out if he made an istance. While one of the fellows held a pistol at his head the othe ‘took his clothes pe a in money, ail he had in bis posses- n at the time. ane thieves took the trank of Captain James Burke, of the Frasier, out on the dock and broke tt open, but, finding nothing which they considered of value to them, they smashed the trunk to pieces and threw the contents ipte tie FLVers lying at tl rae probabt
