Ib. Flour was firm. Wheat and corn, though not especially active, were firmer. EXPORTS OF THE WEEK. The total exports of domestic merchandise from ‘the port of New York to foreign ports for the week vending April 29, 1873, were of the currency value of $5,355,200, TUE FOREIGN MARKET, ‘The London quotations have been steady for ‘United States bonds and a trifle easier for consols. ‘The agitation in France has caused a decline in the ‘mew French loan to 55; premium as Against 5% ‘astevening and 6% on Saturday. The quotation ‘dm yesterday’s HeRALD should have been 5%. In Paris rentes opened at an improvement to 55.10, Dut fell off at the close to 55, Erie shares in Lon- on were heavy and a fraction lower. MONEY EASIER, ‘The money market was boti steadier and easier. “The rate on call opened at 1-32, flat, a 1-64 and in- terest, and ranged as high as 1-32 and interest, ‘with exceptional transactions at 1-16 flat, but ‘toward the close of banking hours declined to 7 per ‘Cent, gold. Subsequent to three o'clock loans were made at 6 per cent. The express companies report further heavy arrivals of currency from the in- terior, about three million dollars having come since yesterday morning. The outstanding extra sgreenbacks have been reduced to $1,300,000, a con- s$raction of $535,000 since last report. Foreign ex- change was nominally steady on the basis of 108% for prime bankers’ sixty day sterling and 109% for sight bills, but the market washeavy and weak nd actual business was at concessions of fully one-quarter per cent from the rates asked. ‘ GOLD LOWER—117% A 116%. “The gold market was weak and experienced a further decline of a quarter per cent under the continued influence of the prepayment of the May «interest on the public debt. The course of the ‘market is shown in the table:— i204. M. In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 3B per cent to 7 gold per cent for carrying. The e@perations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as | ‘follows :-— Gold cleared seeeee $55,512,000 Gold balances . 2,272,528 ‘Currency balances. 2,675,414 The Sub-Treasury paid out $990,000 on account of interest and $5,000 on account of redeemed five- twenties. SOUTHERN SECURITIES DULL. The Southern State bonds were intensely dull, “with prices steady outside the Tennessees, which “were offered freely at 80. One sale of Alabama eights of 93 was recorded at 8334. “A morning con- ‘temporary misapprehends” the nature of the act wecently passed by the Alabama Legislature, just as Be failed apme time ago to comprehend the mys- teries of cambistry. We quote from the Selma Times the assertion that the billis a “proposition ‘to give to certain bankrupt corporations $4,000 if they will release the State from $12,000 of liabili- ty.” We reiterate the statement already made that ‘the bill authorizes railroads on which the State -ihelds @ lien as security for her ENDORSEMENT OF BONDS Assued by the railroads to send back the bonds for cancellation of the endorsement, the State in re- turn paying the roads $4,000 per mile in new bonds -and surrendering the mortgage lien.

Arenomination was tendered Mr. King, the pres- ent President of the Board, but was declined, not- withstanding that it had been tendered by a unani- mous vote of the committee, STOCKS FEVERISH AND BETTER. Further sales 0% stocks early in the forenoon for the supposed account of the defaulting cashier of the Atlantic Bank and on miscellancous orders from parties too timid to trust the condition of the market any longer induced a smart decline in the leading specialties during the progress of business up to and inclusive of the first session of the Board. In this period of weakness and excitement Pacific Mail went off to 5544, Western Union to 8234, Cen- tral to 100, St. Paul to 56% and C., C. and I. ©, to 8534. A feverish feeling of more or less activity per- vaded a THE MARKET the rest of the day, but as the afternoon wore on it gave way to a quieter and more confident tone, especially as the continued absence of further bank troubles inspired a belief that the worst had gone by. The developments at the Atlantic Bank have stimulated a general inquiry into a close scrutiny of their affairs by bank oficials all over the city, so that the banking business in future is likely to be conducted with stricter regard for THE INTERESTS OF DEPOSITORS, stockholders and the public. As a reflection of the improved sentiment of the street the stock mar- ket became strong atthe close, when the best prices were made. During the past few days the air has been full of inuendoes as to the soundness of the Continental Bank, and a good many prej- udiced parties have quietly helped in circulating stories to its discredit. This state of affairs led to an examination ofthe bank’s accounts by the Clear- ing House Committee, of which Mr. F, D, Tappan, President of the Gallatin Bank, is chairman, The report of the committee published in an adjoining column closes by asserting that “the bank is abundantly able to pay its depositors, and that in the opinion of the comntittee the capital stock ($2,000,000) is impaired less than 5 per cent.” HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

SAS Cotton Quict and Kasier for Futures; Receipts at the Ports, 10,705 Baies— Flour Steady—Wheat and Corn were Firmer—Oats Easicr—Pork and Lard Dull—Groceries Firm Under a Fair De- mand—Metals Quiet—Petroleum Dull and Weak—Spirits Turpentine Lower— Rosin Firm—East India Goods Quict=— Wool Steadier—Whiskey Firmer, TUESDAY, April 29—6 P. M, Nothing new or of especial interest was de- veloped in commercial matters to-day, and the changes in commercial values were, as a rule, of an unimportant character. The unsettled condi- tion of the money market, as evinced in the er- ratic fluctuations of the rates of interest, is not calculated to stimulate mercantile enterprises, it is true, but the merchandise markets are never- theless influenced comparatively little, now that the probabilities of a money crisis have become so remote. A fair business was in progress to-day in most departments of trade; but in some cases the rapid rise in prices last week has caused buy- ers to withdraw from the market, hoping for @ recession, which will enable them to execute orders already at hand on a somewhat lower basis than they can now be filled, The movement in breadstuils has not been so active as it was last week, while provisions have ruled quiet, even though prices are considerably lower than the highest prices current last week. The movement in dry goods, hardware, &c., continues fair and prices remain without noteworthy change, save in exceptional and isolated cases. On ’Change to-day flour was quiet, but firm, for good grades. Wheat was in moderate demand, but firm, for prime sam- ples, which were taken for export, Corn was firmer, but not very active. Oats were dull and decidedly lower. Pork was dull and, in the absence of business, wholly nominal. Lard was quiet and easier. Cotton was in limited demand and steady for “spot,” while future raled easier. Metals, generally, were neglected, but unchanged in price. East India goods were dull. Petroleum was neglected and closed weak. Spirits of turpentine w: dull and lower, while rosin was firm. Wool. met with a fair demand and was steadier. Asnes.—Receipts for the past three days, 30 packages. The market continued quiet and unchanged. Pots sold in a jobbing way at $3, while pearls remained entirely nominal. Buripinc Mateaiats.—We have no change to note in the market for brick; the demand was tair and sales made at unchanged prices. Lime was also in fair request and quoted firm at $1 69 for Rockland common and §2 for do, lump. Cement, although quiet, was quoted steady ai $210 per bbl. for Rosendale. Plaster Paris met with a light demand and was steady at $350 to per ton tor biue Nova Scotia, $52 for white do. and $2 per bbl. for ‘aths sold moderately at $2 30 a $2 50 tor Eastern spruce. Hair was generally quict and quoted at Bie. a Slo... gold, for mixed Kio Grande, 29e.\a 3840. for Montevideo, Sue. a 33e. do. for Southern Buenos Ayres, 280.

First Blood for the Aggrossive Party—The Cause Which Led to the Affair—Old “Black Fri- day” Litigations Cropping Out— How Jay Gould Took Things— Gossip of the Street. About eleven o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Jay Gould rode down to Wall street, to the no smaut surprise of the brokers, who had not seen him for several weeks. The advent therefore caused @ ripple of excitement, for it has come to be a beliet now in the street that when Jay Gould 1s around some diabolical arrangement is in preparation to throw the more quietly disposed off their legs. It is well known that the saturnine little man is for+ ever “putting up jobs’? on the gentlemen who make it their business to dabble in the same com- modities as Mr. Gould himself. Yet, while Mr. Gould has some enemies in the street, he has many friends, as was very well proved by what took place yesterday. He alighted at the office of Osborn & Chapin and went in. It ts no news that Mr. Gonld is @ partner in this house, and that usually he is content to telegraph to his associates all he has to say from his office uptow: It must have been some- thing very important that brought him down yes- terdaye Mr. Gould remained in the office for some time—until about twelve o’clock—discussing prt- vate affairs and planning future operations. As that hour Mr. Gould passed out of the office with Mr. Osborn, and while walking down Broad street was the observed of all. There were many big men, who would hardly care to avow it, who turned round with a certain curlosity and interest and probably envied the brains possessed by that little man. In the meantime Mr. Gould and Mr. Osborn walked into Delmonico’s restaurant, in Broad street, and sat down together at one of the small tables and ordered lunch, They went on with their discussion and paid no attention to those around them, THE ASSAULT. While seated at the table and discussing the ap- petizing little meal set before them a tall, thin, light-haired gentleman, with a coat closely but- toned, and carrying an umbrella, walked into the restaurant, from the Broad street side, and went towards New street. Suddenly he stopped in his walk, and, looking towards Mr. Gould, seemed te hesitate a moment. Then he walked up to that gentleman, and, tapping him on the shoulder, sald:— i “Mr, Gould, I should like to have a momenta conversation with you.” “J have nothing to say to you,” said Mr. Gould. The tall, fair gentleman insisted and pressed upon Mr. Gould the necessity of having a conver- sation with him. But the ex-President of Erie was obdurate and asked to be allowed to have his lunch in peace, finally saying something which ‘was not heard by the surrounding gentlemen, and which has not been reported since. Thereupon the tall gentleman raised his hand, clenched 1 and strack Mr. Gould a blow on the mouth. Mr. Gould rose in a moment, probably anticipating a second attack, and raised the cane which he hela in his hand, to defend himself. But the tall man, seeing the commotion which the affair had created, speedily made hig way out of the saloon on the New street side. It was all the affair of a moment, and before a_ single erson had time to interfere he was off, and the whole thing was over. Mr. Gould feli back on his seat, probably from emotion, and holding his handkerchief to hi mouth. It was soon dotted all over with spots blood. The crowd which was in the restaurant at the time gathered round the table where Mr. Gould Was sitting, and evinced GREAT SYMPATHY for him. ‘Every moment it increased, ana to such a degree that Mr. Gould rose and saying “I am not hurt, gentlemen," walked out of the place, followed by Mr. Osborn, who, during the whole affair had shown no particular disposition to meddie in fight. Mr, Gould returned to the banking o: and remained there some time, atter which he wea out of the place. A HEkaLD reporter caught him as be was guing out. “What 1s all this about, Mr. Gould?” asked the Te} jorter. Fon, it’s an old trouble; but it was cowardly. } was never struck by any one before in my life anal never struck any one myself. J. J. Marrin Dame of the man who assaulted me.’ He then entered the carriage and rode up-town- wards. ‘The reporter saw Mr. Chapin, of the banl firm, for afew moments. He said that Joseph J. Marrin was a lawyer and had been counsel for C. C. Helien in some “BLACK FRIDAY"? SUITS against Gould; that these suits had been all settled by compromise and that no cause whatever existed for such an assault as wok place. Mr. Gould had not seen Marrin for a long time, and the assault was as little expected as anything could be, Mr. Gould was not hurt bY the blow which Marrin gave. It simply cat his lips, but was in no way serious. Mr. Chapin considered it a very cowardly affair, The reporter then huntec up Mr. c, C. Hellen, who said-tuat it must have been mistake about the use of his name, as he had never even met the man Marrin. He did not know him and never had any suit against Mr. Gould for the Black Friday business. The statement that he em ployed Marrin was altogether erroneous, and he could not understand it at all, When the reporter heard this he went back again to Mr. Chapin and told him what Mr. Hellen had said. This gentie- man, however, repeated his statement, and insisted that Hellen was the man, THE AFFAIR ON THE STREET. In the meantime the whule street had got wind of the attair, and little else was talked of but the assault u) Mr. Gould. As a general Mey aed was a great deal of sympathy expressed for Mr. Gould, and the assault was pronounced to be very cowardly, Alarge number of it men com plained very bitterly of their fate in not being present to defend Mr. Gould from the attack upon him. They believed that had they been in time ta olutch the great financier’s life from the hands of the assassin their fortunes would Lave been made, and perhaps they would. ‘The reporter then called AT MR, MARRIN’S OFFICE, 64 Wall street, and tried to see the gentleman who had committed the assaulton Mr, Gould. There were several persons in the office, and on had. been waiting for some time. Mr. Marrin did not appear; but after some time Mr. Marrin’s brother John did appear. This gentieman sald that he was assured by his brother there was cause for the assault on Mr. Gould, though had he been in a cool frame of mind he probably would not have done what he did. The facts of the case were these :—Mr. Marrin was counsel for several ay among ¢ Ts Allen & Josiyn, in suits wing @ of the Black Friday business. Some time ago Mr. Gould had expressed a willingness to compromise the suits, which Mr. Marrin was very glad to do. Mr. Gould then made some propositions which were acceded to by Mr. Marrin, Mr. Gould aiving his word of honor as agentieman that he woul keep them, but objecting to sign any paper. Mr. Marrin, believing that Mr. Gould was acting in good faith on his side, gave his word to his. chent, thas all was settied ‘amicably and satisfactorily, and that he woul be responsible for the carrying out of the conditions. jould had never kept these conditions, and had avored to avoid Mr. Mare rin, ignoring the matter altogether, Mr. Marrin had tried to see Mr. Gould, calling at his house constantly, but he had never succeeded; there- fore, when he met him accidentally in. Deimonico’s he talked to him about the matter. If Mr. Gould had not insulted him he would not have struck him. AT THE TOMBS. After leaving. Wall street Mr. Jay Gould, accom. yamed by Mr. omas P, Shearman, called at the Rompe Police urt. Justice Dowling waa very ob- sequious to them and bowed them into his private room, hat in hand. There the Justice emontateye made out a warrant for the arrest of Marrin. It was put in the hands of Sergeant Quinn for ser- vice. LOOKING FOR APPOINTMENTS.
