COMPARISON OF THE EXPORTS. * ‘The total exports of domestic merchandise from New York to foreign ports for the week ending April 29, and sinee the beginning of the year, com- pare as follows :— 1872, 1873. ‘1871.

The new French foan declined to 53; premium, The excitement in Paris is reflected in a sharp decline in rentes, ‘which fell to 54f. 25c. Erie shares in London have ‘been steady and about as they closed the previous sae MONEY MORE ACTIVE. ‘The money market was irregular and more ac- Give. At the beginning of business the renewals and new loans were generally on the basis of 1-64 and interest, with occasional transactions at 1-32 and interest. After two o'clock money was offered quite freely at 1-32 fat and leaned at 7 gold; but as three o’clock approached the inquiry became more urgent, and borrowers who came out at the last moment had to pay as nigh as }¢ for their balances. Ta explanation of this SPASM OF 8TRINGENCY ‘¥ was sald that the *‘Shylocks” bad resumed opera- tions, and had begun their movement by borrowing all the money they could up to two o’clock, with the “hope of effecting a “squeeze” late in the afternoon. ‘The speculation failed to be profitable, however, as ‘the amounts loaned at 1-16 and +s per cent were mot enough to compensate for the losses of the clique in holdiag the large sums unemployed for which they had paid commissions ef 1-64 and 1-32, ‘ addition to 7 percent. The express companies reported a further arrival to-day of over a million dollars CURRENCY FROM THE INTERIOR. Mercantile paper was quoted at 9a12 per cent discount for prime names, the market showing a disposition towards activity. Tke action of the Continental Bank eficers in demanding an inves- tigation at the hands ei the Clearing House has been generally commended as an eminently proper way of putting an end to idle and defamatory ru- mors affecting bank credit, and ought to serve as BQprecedent for future contingencies of alike na- ture. Continental stock was quoted 75 a 80 to-day, showing that the market has not yet recovered from tne OLD FEELING OF DOUBT. Among the assets of” the institution is the bank building, which is valued at $350,000 on the books of the bank, although Homer Morgan proneunces i worth $750,000, and says it would sell on a forced sale for $600,000. Allowance for the differ- ence would more than make up the 5 per cent im- palrment of capital alleged in the Clearing House Committee’s report. In this connection i is only fair to say that a third or fourth rate State Bank, doing business on Broadway, has been the subject for several days past of rumors similar to those that were in circulation regarding the Continental Bank. As the bank and the ru- mors are well known to most of the active gentle- men composing THE CLEARING HOUSE COMMITTEE would it not be well for them to make an investi- gation in this case and give the result to the pub- dic? With the public mind satisfied in this instance there would be a complete restoration of confi- dence, as the institution referred to is now the only one left concerning which any distrust is felt ‘y moneyed men. Foreign exchange continued weak, and the leading drawers lowered their rates for sterling to 108% for sixty days and 109% for sight bills, actual business being +; 2.44 lower and the market dull. Continental bills were firmer than sterling, and European advices report ster- ting exchange weak in the German cities, GOLD STRONG, 116% 4 117%. ‘The depression in the London market caused a Girmer feeling in gold and an advance in price from 116% to 1174, notwithstanding the weaker tone of sterling and the arrival in port of the $500,000 gold which was shipped from London the week before last. Attention has been called toa recent error in the HERaLp’s estimate of foreign goods in bond, the extravagance of which doubt- fess proved its own correction. It would have been nearer the fact had the paragraph read so as to in- clude with the goods in bond the amount in stock anconsumed, the aggregate of which is doubtless tm the vicinity of $00,000,000, or enough to last g@bout six months without the importation of nother dollars worth during that period. The course of the market is shewn in the tabi “ans 8:52 P. M. ig 4 P.M In the gold loan market the rates ranged from @ per cent to 7 gold per cent for carrying. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows :— Gold cleared. ea i) Qhrelage The Sub-Treasury paid out $535,000 on actount of interest. The European steamers took out $79,407 10 silver.

At arecent meeting of the Directors of the Iii- nois Central Railroad Company, hela at the com- Pany’s office in this city, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted :— The directors of this company having made arrange- meuts tor through communication trom Shivege and + Louis to New Orleans, which they believe will largely in: crease its business and revenue, desire to provide lor out- lays required to pertect this connection; also for the ex- tensive and (mportat works in progress upon the Lake Shore at Chicago and to make further provision of steel rails; and therefore determine that the requirements for these purposes, may best be provided for by an issue of shares. It is therefore resolved as follows :— First—To increase the capital stock of the company from $25,500,000 by a further issue of shares to the exteiit of twenty (20) per cent thereupon. Second—That subscriptions from shareholders to the new stock, in even shares, in the proportion of one to every five shares registered in their names upon the 1th day of June next, shall be accepted at par. Third—That the payment of fifty per cent of these sub- scriptions shall be made upon the Ist day of July next, at which date the company will issue receipts certifying said payment; and the remaining fitty per cent shall be payable on the Ist day of August, 1874 Fourth—These certificates shail bear interest at the legal rate of seven per cent per annum, until the Ist day ot August, 1874, Payable on the Ist January anid August, 1874, at the office of the company in New York, at which last day, onthe completion of the payment, the certificates shall be exchanged tor the share certificates gi the compnny, to be entitled to dividends declared hereafter. Fiti—The certificates shall de transferable in sums of $50, or the multiples of 50, so that, when the second pay- ment to the company is made, the total amount will cor- respond to the shares to be issued, STOCKS STEADY.

BANEING House oF FISK & HATCH, No. 5 Nassau Sraeer, New York, May 1, 1873, The present high price of government securities is in- creasing the demand for first clase railroad bonds, and as the amounts now offering are comparatively small itis reasonable to suppose the present difference of from 20 to 80 per cent cannot be obiained for any great length of time. Government bonds are higher now than for sev- eral years past. A “five-twenty” bond at 120, paying six per cent on the par value, yields but a small income on its market price, and if an entirely safe investment can be obtained with a difference of $200 to $300 on each $1,000 it is largely to the interest of the holders to make the exchange. We are recommending the following for su changes or for new investments, all of them payable in gold, principal and interest:— } ‘The Chesapeake and Ohio Six Per Cents at 88 and ac- erued interest, interest payable May and November. These bonds are issued in denominations of $100, $500 and $1,000. The road, 420 mil pleted, and the busines creasing dally. ‘The Western Pacific Six Per Cents at the market price, which is to-day 9, flat. These bonds are of $1,000 each; interest payable January and July, This road having in length, is now com- ring is very large and in- been consolidated with the great Central Pacific, and pay- ment of its bonds, principal and interest assumed by them, we see no good reason why they should not soon approximate in price to the Central Pacifles, now 108, and becoming very scarce in the market ‘Also, the Chesapeake and Ohio Seven Per Cents, in- d July, secured by a First terest payable January Mortgage on the Extension to deep water on Chesapeake Bay, on the proposed Kanawha River Branch and on the great bridge to be built over the Ohio River at Hunt- ington, and a Second Mortgage on the Main Line, with all its equipments, depots, &c, Only $3,000,000 of these bonds will'be offered for sale at present. Price 90 and accrued interest. ‘We consider them amply secured and a very desirable investment. The proceeds will be used in adding largely to the present equipment and in extending to deep water on the Chesapeake Bay, the world can load and unload alongside the cars, @ the largest steamers in The amount of money to be invested within the next few months will be very large. The government dis- bursement alone for the next three months will reach $10,000,000, and the May afd July dividends of the banks, railroads and other corporations as much more. We continue to deal in g rnment and Central Pacific bonds, receive deposits on which we allow interest, make sat the Stock Exchange for banking business, oh __ FISK @ HATCH, | LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY 70 LOAN ON Bond and Mortgage; First and Second Mortgages Ganhed ; clty Property only, FREIDENRICH & CO., 906 and 908 Third avenve, AL Bore BROADWAY.— LAPSLEY | & | BAZLEY, + Brokers In Stock and Gold Privileges. $100 will Durchase a Put or Call for 100 shares; $125 for $50,000 ‘old; no further risk; first class names on all contracts. collections, execute order: cash and conduct a gener: atory circular, with practical illustrations aud ces, mailed free.

Curtosity, if nothing more, tended to throng the Exchange yesterday with persons anxious to wit- ness the sale of real estate belonging to Walter Roche, ordered to be disposed of at auction by or- der of Messrs. Jeremiah Quinlan, John E. Devin and James Lynch, trustees in charge for the cred- itors of the late lamented Guardian Savings Bank. Among the creditors were many who had “placed their trust in princes” controlling the affairs of the defunct savin7s institution, and watched with eager gaze the proceedings, justly anticipating that if the sale was a success thelr divi- dends would be larger and their little hoard- ings more hberally restored, But the numerical strength o! the attendants was greater than their liberality, and the prices offered for the property were so beggarly that the major pertion was with- drawn. The real estate sold was the house and lot No.29 Mulberry street, ditto No, 121 Baxter, and same No. 74 Mott street, realizing, together, $26,650. The Eighth avenue and Boulevard property was withdrawn and the sale postponed two weeks from yesterday, when, it 1s hoped, the result will be more propitieus. ‘The other sales effected were not very important, except that by James M. Mil- ler, on the premises. at Throgg’s Neck, the resi- dence and grounds belonging to the estate of the late Ralph Baker, comprising four houses and about forty-seven acres of land, adjoining the property of &. D. Morgan. Mr. Ralph Arnold purchased it for $49,750. ‘The following is a detailed statement of yester- day's public business on ’Change :— BY M, MILLER, Mth st., 205.5 ft. w. of 8th, + $6,000 3s. bk. h. and |. n. 5.
