The Treasury programme of gold sales and bond purchases for the month of May is substantially the same as the one accomplished during the month of April. The dates and amounts are as follows :— Gola Sales, Bona edligcanees + $1,000,000 May 7. + $500, 1 phe ead May 21. Total.....+«+« $1,000,000 Total. ........ $6,000,000 THE FOREIGN MARKET. The week in London opened with a rise of ¥ in consols and 3 a 44 per centin United States bonds, and the market retained the improvement to the close alter @ pretty active business, Erie shares ranup % in sympathy with the early tendency of prices, but subsequently receded 4 per cent, closing at 50%. The new French loan was only Steady at a premium of 6% per cent, but rates in Paris were weak as a result of the political agita- Mon, and declined to 55, MONEY ACTIVE. ‘The money market opened at 7 per cent gold as the general rate on eall among the stock brokers, With occasional loans at plain? percent. As the @ay advanced the supply became less plentiful, ‘chiefly in consequence of the apprehension and ‘uneasiness occasioned by the failure of the Atlantic Bank, and the rate hardened to 1-16 and interest before three o’clock, The arrival of that hour, without further trouble, sent a crowd of lenders into the street, and, as the borrowers were still on hand, dealings were kept up on the sidewalk until half an hour beyond three o'clock, during which interval the rate fellom to7 per cent gold, Mer- santile paper was quoted 9 to 12 per cent discount for prime names. The outstanding extra green- backs now amot it_to $1, bhi a decrease since Baturday of of $118, sa ADVANCE IN POREIGN EXCHANGE. =The foreign bankers advanced their rates for bills on Europe % per cent more as a preparation against remittances of the proceeds of coupons to the other side than through any larger demand, the market being firm and dull at the advance, ‘and closing as follews:—Sterling, sixty days, com- mercial, 107% a 1083; do., good te prime bankers, 1083 a 108%; do., short sight, 109%; a 10954; Paris, | Northwestern sixty days, 5.31 a 5.25%; do., short sight, 5.22% a 6.21%; Prussian thalers, 71}; a 71%; Antwerp, | St. Paul p: 5.31% a 5.26; Switzerland, 6.30 a 5.25; Hamburg, BAK B O53; Amsterdam, 80%¢ & 40); Frankfort, 0% @ 41; Brémen, 94% a 9534. GOLD LOWER—117% 4 117. ‘The gold market declined from 117% to 117 under gales of May coupons, the prepayment of which without deduction was authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury in an order accompanying the May programme. Two prominent banking houses at the corner of Wall and Nassau streets each sold half a million of gold at as low as 127 for account of parties holding May coupons. The better feel- 4ng in the London market also contributed to help the decline, which, by the way, was contrary to the experience of the market, prepayment of in- terest being an influence which the street usually discounts so thoroughly as to rob it of effect when the time comes. Itis hardly saying too much to ‘assert that one-half the “professionals” of the board looked to see gold go up this morning as Boon as it was known that the prepayment of the May interest had been sanctioned.

Boston, Hartford and Erie firsts were firm at 3944.

GOVERNMENTS STEADY. The government list was a fraction lower, in re- sponse to the decline in gold, but steady, a fair demand for bonds having arisen in connection with the reinvestment of the May interest. The cur- close were held at 1154. The following were the final quotations:—United States currency sixes, 114% a 115% ; do. sixes, 1881, registered, 117% 8117543 do. do, do., coupon, 120% a 120% ; do, five-twenties, 1862, coupon, do., 11834 a 118%; do. do., 1864, do. do., 1183 a 118% ; do. do., 1865, do, do., 120 @ 120%; do., 1867, registered, January and July, 117% a 117%; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 117% a 117%; do. do., 1867, do, do., 1195 @ 119%; do. do., 1868, do, do., 11734 a 118; do, ten-forties, registered, 11134 a 112; do. do., coupon, 113% a 113% ; do. fives of 1881, registered, 114 a 115; do. do. do., coupon, 116 a 116%. STOCKS WEAK AND LOWER. The uneasy feeling in monetary circles begotten of the peculiar circumstances attending the sus- pension of the Atlantic Bank led to a weak and lower market at the Stock Exchange, the decline in prices being accelerated by sales of Pacific Mail, Western Union and other stocks held by brokers who had been doing business for the defaulting cashier of the broken bank. These latter transac- tons were generally through with by midday, after which time the market rallied and was getting along promisingly until it encountered the activity in money, when it succumbed a second time and fell to still lower prices, the last quotations toward four o’clock being the lowest, or within a trifle of the lowest, of the day. The greatest change was in Pacific Mail, which | FELL THREE PER CENT, to 5514. The deciine eisewhere ranged from % to 214 per cent, these extremes being illustrated by Erie, which was held bya clique against the general drift of prices, and St. Paul, which seemed abandoned by the party lately supporting it. Western Union declined to 83%. The Treasury programme was generally regarded by the street a8 opposed to easy money; but the fact was for- gotten that with the cepious supply ef national bank notes now in the banks the Treasury gold sales will afford the banks an opportunity of con- verting their deposits into legal reserve, and thereby greatly strengthen their capacities for the accommodation of borrowers. The announcement is made that the transfer books of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad will clese on the 30th inst., against the annual election. During the course of the day some of the banks notified their customers that they would not certify as liberally as usual heretofore, and asked a modification of business accordingly.

George i, ial’ Wit Hiquldave business, Dated New York, April 23, 401 i+ PORGE H,, BALLER, LUG A, TAYLOL, "> as STOCKIOLDERS “SWAMPED.” A Permanent Receiver Appointed for tha Atlantic National Bank, THE EXCITEMENT UNABATED Meeting of the Depositors—The Directors Willing toReimburse Them for Their Losses—The In= stitution Reported To Be Badly Involved Last October—Damning Prognos- tications—The Last Quarterly Statement—Interviews with Taintor’s Brokers—His “Heavy Operations.” There was probably a larger crowd around defunct Atlantic National Bank yesterday mor ing than there had ever been during its weakly existence. Inside were the usual clerks, the o cers, including that good old gentieman, Mr. Southworth, besides Mr. Charles A, “Meigs, Nationai Bank Examiner for this district, who Sppointed to the position of receiver on Sai evening. There were also present Mr. Tappan an the other members of the Clearing House Comd mittee. But it was outside that the most interests ing scene was taking place, The depositors, man: of whom knew nothing of the affair until the pul lication of the particulars on Sunday morning, come down at an early hour, and had waiter patiently, some of them for a couple of hours, bi fore the usual hour of opening, in the hope of beingg first. With these there seemed tobe still som latent hope that they would get their money, Many believed that the bank would make some STRONG EFFORT TO RECOVER } and open as usual. It was only a despairing however, which sustained these, and they we rapidly undeceived when the hour of ten arrive: Others seemed to have some indistinct notions of- seeing Taintor come down to wind up the concern: and the manner in which thpse gentlemen spoke o! the absent cashier would perhaps have even si prised that cool individual himself. One said, ‘I’ just like to have that fellow for five minutes an I'd be willing to go up for it.” Another exclaime “I don’t care so much for my maney, but if I don’ follow that Taintor up it ‘taint’ a bit of my fault.’ It was a bad attempt at a joke, but was hugely a) Preciated. With the exception of such ex clamations as these the two or thre hundred depositors about kept remarkabl; quiet, mainly engaging in discussing th affairs of the bank and looking at th printed slip, cut from the HERALD, announcing meeting of the stockholders to take place at thre: o’clock, The main opinion was, of course, @ ver, strong prejudice against Taintor, but alway: equally so against the oficers of the bank, who, it seemed to be the general impression, were in th “steal” and knew quite well what was going on. When the hour of ten arrived there was a rust for the doors, which remained closed—that is, bar of iron had been placed across the doorw: and a powerful young man stood on the other sid to prevent any entrance being effected. Some o! the depositors in the first rush succeeded in ge’ ting past the strong young man; but the boay was kept back, and, spite of the utmost stron; language they could use, did not make any breac! in the obstructions. A HERALD reporter was Car- ried along with this tide, and of course got in. APPOINTMENT OF A RECKIVER, It was announced about this time that the statement was made by Mr. Meigs, temporar: receiver, that he had just got a telegram irom Mr. Knox, the Comptroller of the Currency, appointin, Mr. George E. Strong, & lawyer of Nassau stree! receiver of the bank. Mr. Strong, on being no! fled, was promptly on hand and took charge of th bank’s affairs, being sworn in by the notary of th institution. The HERALD reporter saw Mr. Stron a few moments alter he had been installed. Thi gentleman said that he would Bo immediately work to make up a statement of the affairs of the bank, but it would probably be some days betore it was ready. In the meantime he put himself t work on it and did not leave the ofite until late the evening. Mr. erie who gave up his authority to Mr. Straus, said to the reporter that as far as he w: concerned he had done nothing since his Satui day’s work to make up the condition of the bank, and that the condition was substantially the same When Mr. Meigs ws asked by the reperter how i was that he had » onounced the bank to be in good condition, Mr. Meigs simply answered b; showing the reporter the statement of his last ex- amination of the bank, which gives a most pertect prophecy of how affairs since turned eut. Mr. leigs’ statement ran as follows:— REPORT OF THE BANK EXAMINER, New Yor«, October 11, 1872. To, sum _Comrrnotuen oF THE Cunnkncy, Wasuixcton, “UTLANTIC NATIONAL BANK OF NEW YORE. Assets.

BS A. MEIGS, Nauonal Bank Examiner. In consequence of his report the Comptroller the Currency ordered no Jurther dividends to paid by the bank: ‘The bank made its LAST QUARTERLY STATEMENT on the 28th of February, 1873, This statement was, sworn to by the cashier, and it is evident, asi matters have turned out, that he must have ‘pers jured himself in making such a statement, LIABILITIES.

The event of the fatiure has had very contrary effects; in the first place the banks called in many of their loans, and, in the second place, not afew of the brokers and bankers took their deposits out. of the banks, all evidently under the fear that at any moment their own deposits might go and meet those of the unfortunate depositors of the Atiantic Bank. In fact, the affair seemed to have created a fecling of unusual insecurity among moneyed men, One prominent broker said to the reporter, “Ii a man ina litte institution like the Atlantic can steal half a million, what can’t a man do ina dig. bank? for there are unquestionably many of them. which are managed in the same manner that this has been.” Such sentiments as these, freely ex- pressed, are apt to make people run for thei money. MEFTING OF THE DEPOSTTORS, At three o'clock the meeting of the depositors’ advertised in the HeRaLp took place in the offices of Abbett & Fuller, 220 broadway. There were, rhaps, during the meeting, about ene hundred ud any Gepositors present, and the exgicmens
