FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The Vienna Panic a Continued Cause of Disturbance. The Agitation Kept Up for Local Speculative Purposes. MONEY EASY BUT A TRIFLE FIRMER. The Gold Clique Unload Under Cover of the European News. A Fall of Nearly One Per Cent in the Price of Gold. STOCKS UNSETTLED AND LOWER. The Bear Cliques Worry the Market to Break Down Erie. Government Strong—Tennessees “Off"—The Railroad Bonds Irregular— Result of the Annual Election at the Stock Exchange. W. Monpay, May 12, 1873—6 P. M. On ’Change to-day cotton on the ‘spot’? was dull and unchanged, while ‘futures’ were in moderate request at a decline of 3c. a 3-16c. per lb, Flour was firmer under better demand, were about steady. COMPARISON OF THE IMPORTS. The total imports of foreign merchandise at the port of New York for the past week and since the beginning of the year compare as follows:— Wheat and corn Gen. muse Al...» Prev. reported..

The agitation arising out of the panic at Vienna caused further weaknessin securities at London this forenoon, consols going off 34 United States bonds + a 4 per cont, day, or as soon as it was apparent that the direc- tors of the Bank of England did not deem it neces- Bary to make any further advance in the discount per cent and Later in the A SMART REACTION ensued, consals rising ‘4 a 34 per cent and winding up active and strong, while our bonds recovered to Saturday's prices. The news from the Continent, and irom Vienna in particular, is quite meagre. The cause of the panic is as yet unexplained. From Hamburg we have word that the Bank of Hamburg has raised the discount rate to 644 per cent. Advantage was taken of the excitement in London to depress BRIE SHARES on behalf of the “bear” clique in New York, and the price was knocked down to 473;, but rallied to ‘The quotation 473, about 61% (or rather was before gold declined). We can attribute something of the fall to the ru- mored revival of the scheme to lease the Atlantic and Great Western to Erie on terms which will, of course, be most favorabie to the former; but such an influence would have less effect in London than It would in the New York market. loan was lower at 24 per cent premium, to which, for the sake of comparison, must be added the quarterly interest, the quotation being ex interest, In Paris rentes were better at 54.40, offering another sign of the recuperation this evening from the first depression caused by THE EVENTS IN VIENNA. It will be seen by our special London cable re- port that the shrinkage of values on the Vienna Bourse was estimated at one hundred millions of dollars, and that the decline in American securi- ties represented a total depreciation of about ten This last phase of the panic must have been confined to American railroad bonds or obscure securities of a miscellaneous nature, for the percentage of decline in United States bonds has not been suflicient to cause an absolute deprecia- tion of more than one or two millions, even if we spread the fractional decline over the entire one thousand millions of our national known to be held in all Europe. ceived in Wall street this evening say that the open | Street rate for money im Vienna is 10 a 12 per cent, against 6 per cent at bank. MONEY EASY BUT UNSETTLED. The money market was easy during the greater Part of the day, but the changing of loans incident to the recent futuations in the prices of stocks caused a more active inquiry toward the close of vanking hours, when the rate on call, which had touched 7 per cent gold tem- | 48 at the close. 4 is equivaient to The new French million dollars.

The sight rate was firm at 1097, and one leading house co#fessed their unwillingness to draw by raising thei’, Tate to 110.

The annual election of the Stock Exchange was held to-day, and resulted in the choice of the fol- lowing officers, comprising the “regular” candi- dates, the opposition ticket, varying only in one or two names in the Governing Committee :— President, H. G. Chapman; Chairman, M. A. Wheelock; Vice Chairman, James Mitchell; Secre- iy; B. O. White; Treasurer, D. U. Hayes.

Bend; to serve two years, R. K. Cooke, James Struthers; to serve one year, Theodore 8, Ferry. STOCKS WEAK AND LOWER, The stock market started offstrong, under the early impression that the action of the bankers of Vienna and the government of Austria in relieving the money market by a contribution of 20,000,000 florins had put an end to the Vienna panic, but the lower quotations of consols in London soon changed the current of prices and caused a decline, which was helped by parties interested in breaking the price of Erie, for the purpose of enabling them to cover speculative sales, their efforts to that end being as- sisted by rumors that as soon as the Legislature had adjourned and was out of the way Erle would lease the ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN railway. The better demand for money toward three o'clock also had its share in depressing the market, Half an hour later a reaction of consider- able force was under way, inspired by the decline in gold, which was in turn regarded as revealing a better state of affairs at Vienna and in Europe generally, but being at variance with the plans of the clique operating for a decline in Erie a des- perate attack was made upon the market when it was so thinly attended as to offer but feeble re- sistance. The consequence was a fresh, and for some of the list a quite serious, decline. The re- sults of the day will be found summed up in the comparative table below in connection with the record of closing quotations :— HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES. ‘ The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the-day :— Highest.

Nico lay—He is Accused of Swindling by @ Old Gentieman—Summary of the Com= plaint—Held to Ball in $30,000. Mr. Albert H, Nicolay is well known in this city and vicinity as an auctioneer. much surprised yesterday by being arrested and taken before Justice Gilbert, of the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, who committed him in default of $30,000 The arrest was made at the instance of Wil- liam 8, Roberts, who makes several grave charges against Mr. Nicolay. Mr. Roberts, it appears, is an old gentleman who has reached the biblical age of threescore and ten, and, having some money, thought to increase his for- tune by operations in Wall street. He went to Mr. Nicolay and engaged in several transactions with him, in which he alleges that he was swindled and lost his money in fraudulent operations to the ex- tent of $30,000, The complaint in the case runs in substance a@ follows:—That Albert H. Nicolay isa stock broker and stock auctioneer, and that he does business im the city of New York; that he being well ac- quainted with the par value of stocks and bonds, dealing as he does in them continually, he (William S. Roberts), on the 25th of August, 1869, went te him, and that defendant thereupon offered to seld him eight mortgage bonds of the West Side Eie- vated Railroad of New York, which purported ta be secured on the real estate of said railroad, ant that Nicolay represented they were worth é! er cent of their par value, and told plaintiff that hey were much sought after and good, and that the old issue of the road was worth more than the price of the whole stock issued, and that he was conferring a favor on him by selling him so pon these representa- be true, plaintiff paid “Ebenezers’’ who are op} to every improvement o} He was very valuable @ stock. tions, which he believed therefor tne sum of $3,200, and that subsequ he discovered the stock was worthless and the road was a disastrous failure, Ca that ewe damaged thereby to the extent of $4,000. again on the 26th Septemver, 1870, in New Yorn, the defendant sold piaintit” eighteen certain instru ments, which proved to be garet Copper Miming Company, of the denomina- tion of $500, at the value of el; face, ae said that they were of Cairo, Ill., and that ne further repre- LARGE QUANTITIES OF COPPER were (being constantly taken out of the mines) laintifl purchased eighteen bonds, thereior $7,200, and that he subsequent! they were wholly without value and t damaged thereby to the extent of $8,000; that om July 20, 1871, defendant offered to sell plaintiff 400 shares of the capital stock of the Algoma Mint Company, and that at the time he said it was wo! $50 per Share, but that out of his gre: for the plaintiff? he would let him have them at $: per share, and that a certain James Boyd was mae to him to say that there was @ great demand for such stock, and that thereupon plaint 000 for 400 Bhares-at 25 per cent, claimed damages to the extent of $12,000 therefor, as the shares were wholl, ber 25, 1871, he bought fifty shares of the capital stock of the Lima Gaslight Company for the sum of $4,500; that the defend- ant stated at the time that they were worth $100 r share, and that he claimed $5,000 in consequence of these nds of the St. Mar- nty per cent of their etter than bonds of and that he worthless; that on Octo- from Alpert H.

Attached to the affidavit in question, merely recites the facts as they have been told, is another aflidavit, which goes MORE DEEPLY INTO THE QUESTION, and which tells all the circumstances whic tended the alleged swindling on the part of Mr. Albert H. Nicolay, and which are represented to have been exceedingly ingenious an cupied a great length of time, recites that he fully believed in the integrity Nicolay, who had wormed himself into the confi- dence of Roberts, and that only on being convinced that he had been deceived did he bring his suit against defendant, and he now prays he may have Mr. Albert H.
