FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ‘The Money Market Steady in its Relaxation. THE GOLD MARKET FIRMER. Apprehension of an Advance in the Bank of England Discount Rate. ‘The Week's Domestic Exports $7,500,000— The Largest in Our History. ‘Stocks Quiet and Strong—Advance of Two Per Cent in Rock Island, WALL STREET, Turspay, May 6—6 P. u.} THE EXPORTS OF THE WEEK, The total exports of domestie merchandise from ‘the port of New York to foreign ports tor the week vedning May 6, 1872, were of the currency value of $7.518,679. This amount, which is the largest in “the history the of port, argues an exportation of ‘Rearly $20,000,000 for the week from all the ports ‘of the United States. \ THE FOREIGN MARKET. ‘The London quotations for consols were steady, ‘ft least for the account, but the cash price was lower. It was settling day in these securities, so the difference of 3; per cent. for a month is indica- ‘tive of an easy money market, Ueited States bonds were 34 higher for the 67’s and 3 lower for ‘the ten-forties, Erie shares were heavy and de- clined about % per cent. The new French loan ‘was weak and fell to 434 percent. premium. On ‘the other hand rentes in Paris were a trifle higher At 54, 37, MONEY EASY. Money was easy and steady at 6 a7 per cent, the ‘Marker being as quiet on this basis as if the past eight months of stringency were a dream. The indications all point to a glut of money through- -put the Summer, and extremely low rates on call. Asa first result of the relaxation in money a brisk -demand has set in for mercantile paper, and the mote brokers who were thinking a few weeks since of trying some other occupation, are about as busy ‘as their brethren at the Stock Exchange. Rates for first class paper on sellers’ side range from 7 to per cent, while buyers offer 8a12 per, cent. Foreign exchange was steady on the basis of 10934 .@ 109% for prime bankers’ sixty day sterling, and 10834 a 10854 for sight bills. The outstanding extra @reenbacks amount to $1,317,000, an increase of "$137,000 since yesterday. GOLD FIRM—117 A 11734. The gold market was firm and steady at 117 a ‘117, closing at 11734, the strengthening influence ‘being an apprehension that the Bank of England aight be compelled by the action of the Continental ‘banks to raise the discount rate at the weekly meeting of the directors in the morning. A scarcer ‘supply of cash gold was also regarded as inimical to the short interest. The firmness of the market continued to the close, notwithstanding the fa- vorable return from the Custom House of the ‘week’s exports of domestic produce, The course -of the market is shown in the table:— , Inthe gold loan market the rates ranged from & per cent for carrying to flat for borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol- Qows:— Gold cleared. Gold balances, ‘Currency balances. The Sub-Treasury paid out $453,000 on account of Anterest and $5,000 on account of redeemed five- ‘twenties. GOVERNMENTS STRONG. The improvement in governments continued, the gold market offering the help of its additional firm- ness, and the relaxation in money making the de- mand for bonds quite active. The long sixes of 1881 advanced to 121, the 67’s to 120 and currency sixes to 115%.

STOCKS STRONG AND QUIET. The stock market was quiet but strong, and {prices made a further advance, the rise in some in- stances being large. Panama advanced from 112 to ‘116, but receded to 113, Canton advanced to 10115. In the more active features the most conspicuous feature was arise of two per cent in Rock Island to 110%—the advance elsewhere being by a 1% per cent. Union Pacific advanced to 52};, but fell back to 3114 on the reported death of Oakes Ames by a paralytic stroke, but recovered and advanced to 82% on purchases by A NEW POOL, Qppposed te ingluae the parties Who “cornered” NEW YORK Northwestern, their latest project being the affilia- tion of the interests of the Lake Shore, Rock Island, St. Paul, Northwestern and Union Pacific lines.

TUESDAY, May 6—6 P. M. Trade continued moderate to-day, though there were evidences of an increased movement in cer- tain quarters contingent upon a continuance of an easy money market, There was a fresh impetus to the export movement in grain, a considerable amount of wheat having changed hands, while there was some inquiry for lots to arrive during the current month at rather better prices than had Previously been proffered; still the market was by no means active, and the purchases could not have been made but for the concession of holders. There ‘was but little manifest inciination to deal in corn even at the material decline noticed, though some parcels were taken for shipment at a decline from yesterday's prices. Oats were still neglected, but prices were about the same as previously quoted. Other kinds were dull and nominal. Whiskey was dull and lower, and hard of sale at the decline. The movement in provisions was still slow, but there was no indication of any re- laxation of the firmness which has characterized the market during the past lew days. Lard was firmer on the spot, and held firm for future. The trade in hardware has been somewhat irregular during the past few days, but on the whole fairly active. Dry goods have been somewhat neglected, though prices are sustained for nearly ail the leading cotton fabrics, despite the don- tinued dulness of and depression of cotton. The freight- ing and chartering business has undergone no change worthy of particulay mention. Rates of freight remain substantially the same and charters are eftected, as a general rule, on the basis of full rates, Groceries were quiet, but the market firm. Petroloum was easy and the demand light. Naval stores were quiet, generally speak- ing, but prices were about steady. Metals were neglected and to a greatextent nominal, East India goods re- mained quiet and unchanged. Wool met with a light demand at about stead: Receipts tor the past three days 126 packages. ¢ nd tor pots continued fair in a Jobbing way and prices were steady at $8. Pearls reinained entirely nominal. BUILDING MateRtats.—There has been no important change in the condition of the market since our last re- port. Bricks have been in good demand, and, with only fair arrivals, prices ruled steady at previously quoted figures. Janie was in fair demand at unchanged prices; oted at $i 60 for Rockland common and $I 75 for do. lump.

Only two weeks ago last Friday Herman Lindendorf, alias John Dunne, and Samuel Cary effected their escape from within this repulsive looking structure. Mr. Asa Reeves then had charge of the south hall and was in close proximity to these adventurous convicts when they were going through the simple form of bid- ding goodby to the scene of their then recent in- dustrial vocation of shoemaking. Lindendorf is still enjoying the free air of liberty. Cary was soon afterwards captured by @ reso~ lute and daring lockkeeper on the canal and handed over to the prison officials, Nearly two years ago Edwards, the notorious bank rob- bez, also took French leave, and rumor has it that he is now rusticating on the Continent of Europe, or perhaps is in constant attencance at the Vienna Exhibition, concocting some other wily schemes— his sagacity in such business being rarely equalied. Strange to relate, not one of the careless oliciala who connived at the jail delivery of Lindendorf an@ Cary were suspended from duty by Mr. Wil ‘They are all luxuriating in their lucrative situa~ tions yet; but from what ta learned by & of HERALD reporter yesterddy si the keepers are to be superseded on the 15th inst. and six more on the ist of June. I is very probable that among this number of the doomed ones these derelict officials may be found when the time comes, This last daring escape, it is said, took place between the hours of six and ten o’clock on Monday night. William Quail ia the fugitive this time. He is a native of Newark, aged twenty-one, five feet six and one-half inches im height, brown eyes, light hair and dark com- plexion; has a spot and mole on right fore arm, @ double Q (q), two crosses, several spots and large mar on back of tleft nd and arm. He was found guilty of assault and battery in the Essex County Court and sentenced to four years on the 11th of March, 1872. ‘This was his second term in the New Jersey State Prison, he having served six months before on @& like charge, his term expiring then on the 6th June, 1871, The shoe factory, in which he was em- ployed, and from which he escaped, 189 substantial stone building, fronting on Second street. Sixty- six other convicts were also working in the same building. It was the duty of Frederick Low, the shop. keeper who has the conviets in charge while in the shoe factory, to count them as they went in and out, Morning, noon and night, and when the work of the day was over to give them over in charge of Peter Ossenberg, the gatekeeper, who waa also supposed to count them. Tien they were con- ducted to their cells under the surveiliance of George H. Conover, the keeper of the central hall. ps the most culpable careeseness Low tailed to give an accurate count of all the men on this occa- sion, for Quail had secreted himself behind some boxes in the stoe shop, while his fellow companions in durance vile were marching cut of the doors. Alter a little while, when he found every- thing still and quiet, and that his absence was not discovered, he commenced to work with a determination and will, in scooping a hole through the ceiling, which afterwards made the perilous adventure a success. He was not long getting himself warougy the hole, and with the aid of a rope which he had fastened inside he slid him- self easily down the wali (which is about thirty feet high) and then bounded away wih the agility ot a deer, Inside among the faithlul prison officials all was calm = and serene durin, this sagatcous undertaking on the part ol the Newark criminal, Not until Charles Leeds, one of the watchmen, sounded the alarm did the un- soplusticated individuals become suspicious as to the turn things had taken. It seems Leeds was passing by the shoe factory, when his attention ‘was attracted to the rope suspended from the ceil- ing. All was then commotion and excitement. The cells were scrutinized and no one was miss- ing, until they came to Quail’s domicile, when it was discovered that the occupant was not home. Aiter @ protracted search through the wings and halls of the spacious bastite it wag ascertained no one but Quail was absent. George F. Conover was called upon first for an ex- planation. He pleaded ignorance of the whole matter. He thought he had all his men secure. The shopkeeper was next interviewed. He was certain he counted sixty-seven men when they | were quitting for the night; but, of course, he only made a small mistake of One—that was not much, Sixty-six went out, and the other thought he “would tarry awhile behind to take observations, which he did, and, as narrated above, soon alter was engaged ina like capacity outside, for he had got tired of the monotonous employment within. However, if the full namber of convicts were not to be found inside the prison walls on Monday night, the loss of one was made up in the — t for a remote county tore- | told events, and had ope of its citizens sent to replace Mr. Quail. So, after all, there were yesterday morn 541 mates, the same humber as on the day before. Peter Ossenderg, the gatekeeper; George F. Conover the hall keeper, and Frederick Low, the shop- keeper, the illustrious trio who signalized them- selves in this last cpoch in the history of the New Jersey State Prison, are ail old officials, In a con- versation with & HERALD reporter Mr, Wilson, the head keeper, spoke very highly of them, and they had all been well recommended to him by former and | Pace a prison ottictals. Mr. Wilson, while a member of the Legislature, had Conover appointed to his present position in the prison, It seems Mr. Wilson took the courage his time to have a careless officer removed. Fred- ick Low, the shopkeeper, is stillretained. He hails from Middlesex county, Peter Ossenberg, the gatekeeper, Whose other duty It was to count the prisoners, is also still retained, Nothing was heard about the stampede until yesterday morn- ing in Trenton. It appears they took it very easy when publicity was not given on Monday t. LUSIGNANI TO BE HANGED. rire The Court of Pardons Incxorable—Ne Further Hope for the Wife Murderer. A special session of the Court of Pardons of New | Jersey was held yesterday at Trenton for the pur- pose of hearing a further application on behalt of the condemned man, Luigi Lusignani, for a com- | mutation of his sentence. The Court was in session | three hours and a hait, and all the members were resent with the exception of Dr. Silly, of Hunterdon county. J.C, Jackson and G. T. Wertz, counsel for the doomed mau, appeared and made every effort to‘have the sente commuted to im- prisonment for life. Assemblyman McKinley and the editor of the Echo of /taly, an Italan news. | paper, together with a delegation of other citizeng trom Essex and Morris counttes, were also presen® to. show their sympathies with the unfortunate Italian. Notwithstanding all their influence the Court refused to commute the sentence. Lusignant wiil, therefore, be hanged on the 14th inst,, the day on which his respite will expire. The Governor will issue @ proclamation to that effect to-day. Nothing could be gleaned as to how the count stood on the application, but it is presamed that a di- vision was taken and that Governor Parker and @ few others of the embers were for commuting the sentence. However, as the majority were against it, poor Lusignant’s fate is now sealed and he will lave to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. When the announcement of the action of the Court, reached Morristown there was a Unie versal feeling of disappointment and regret. Jersey justice, however inexorable, was net sus- tained in this case by pubiic opinion. The spiritual director of the unfortunate culprit conld not com- | mand sufficient nerve to communicate the sad | tidings. The new Mayor of Dover, George Rien- | ards, the most popular geatieman in Morris couaty, was unremitting in his exertions to save the | doomed man. The citizens of Morristown, with- | Out exception, are grievously disappointed at the ction of the Court.
