FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Increase in the Bank of Eng- land Rate. A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. . The English Market Steady. deena tesrieds A CHEERFUL FINANCIAL EXHIBIT Money Abundant, Easy and Seeking Employment. Gold Higher and Active—Operators Said to Have Bought Several Millions. Inmaprovement in Stocks---The Mar- ket Generally Quiet. The Cotton Statement for the Week. WALL STREET, } SaTurpay, May 17—6'P. M. Qn 'Ohange vo-day cotton continucd dull, but Jwithout decided change tn values, The receipts at “the ports foot up 5,091 bales, Flour was firmer and % good demand. Wheat was in fair demand and steady, while corn was quiet and easier. THE COTTON MOVEMENT. ‘The total receipts of cotton at all the ports for the past week were 41,031 bales, against 43,770 bates the previous week, making the total receipts wince September 1, 1872, 3,342,974 bales, against 2,615,595 bales last year—an Increase in the present “erop of 727,379 bales, The exports from all the Ports during the week were 48,356 bales, against 38,415 bales for the same period last year. The ‘total exports for the expired portion cf the cotton year are 2,273,332 bales, against 1,807,741 bales last year. The stock at all the ports is 365,082 bajes, Bgainst 240,070 vales in 1872, . THE BANK STATEMENT. The bank statement is favorable and exhibits farther considerable incroase in the resources of ur banking institutions, the reserve being strengthened so far as to show a surplus of nearly ve millions of dollars in excess of the reserve Fequired by law. Asa sign of the confidence of the “banks themselves in their own strength we find ‘that the loans have increased to abeut $3,400,000. Whe mcrease in deposits is more than $5,000,000, made up o! the increase in loans already reierred 0 and of the gain in legal tenders and specie. In Tegal tenders alone the increase has been more than a million. The statement contrasts with the Feport o! last week as follows:— May 10. May 17. Loans $274,687,900 $273,074,400 ie 20,261,600 20,698,900 rewiati 27,628,500 27,489, 200 Depos + 202,819,100 207,884,100 Legal tenders. « 41,944,300 43,102,200 ‘The changes for the week have been as follows :— Inerease in loans.. + $3,386,600 increase in specie. + 487,300 ase IN circulation. . 84,300 Increase in deposits... + 5,015,000 Inerease in legal tenders.. 1,157,300 ‘The above figures show that the banks now hold $4,970,275 in excess of the 25 per cent legal reserve. THE ¥YOREIGN MARKET. ‘The foreign market to-day experienced a ripple ef excitement, in consequence of the London ad- vices to the effect that the Bank of England rate of discount had been increased from five to six per cent. The tremor, however, chiefly affected gold and exchange, both of which stiffened. This result ‘was not unanticipated, it being known that the bul- | Non taken from both England and France during the Jast week was drawn on German and Austrian ac- count, in response to the financial disturbance prevailing in Vienna. Later in the day private advices were to the effect that the bans directors had at first increased the rate only half per cent, but that after half-past ten o'clock, at a@ called meeting, they had raised the vate to six per cent, This step was re- garded as a precautionary measure on the part of the Bank of England to stop any further heavy outflow of gold to the Continent, and it was alleged that by the exercise of such prudence strength was being added to the great breakwater between this centre and the Austrian panic, The Bteadiness of American securities and consols in ‘the face of the rise of the bank rate show that con- fidence is yet unshaken. Rentes at Paris were quoted at 54f. 70c., being an advance. Erie also mavanced to 4734 a 4734. THE MONEY MARKET. The money market continues easy at 6 to7 per ent for call loans and at 7 a9 per cent for prime mercantile paper, the supply of the latter met being equal to the demand. It is Delieved that the rate of interest during ‘the next week will be still less, in consequence of ‘the rapid accumulation of money in the banks ana ‘whe generally healthy condition represented by the bank statement. Foreign exchange advanced to ‘2094¢ for long sterling and 110% for sight, being an increase of % per cent. ‘The following phows the standard of rates:—Sterling, sixty @ays, commercial, 108*4 a 10834; do., guod to prime bankers’, 109 a 109%; do., short sight, 110% a 1103; Paris, sixty days, 6.2734 a 6.224; do., short sight, 5.1856 @ 5.1734; Prussian thalers, 71% & 724; Antwerp, 5.264% a@ 5.20; Switzeriand, 5.264% a 6.40; Hamburg, 95% a 9614; Amsterdam, 39% a 40%; Frankiort, 41 44194; Bremen, 95% a@ 963.

Further revelations are puxiously awaited.

Gold was strong and higher, opening at 118 and advancing to 118%. These were the two extremes pf the day, the price bid at the close being 1183;. The market was active, and it is alleged that sey- Bral millions were bought by a single leading ope_ ator, the impression being that the amount is for parly shipment. The Sub-Treasury paid out to-day $206,000 on account of interest. The steamers which sailed for Europe took out $428,020 73 tn sil- ver. The following tabie will show the fluctuations in the market to-day :—- shown by the ‘ollowing table :— Gross clearings. Gold balances.

STOCKS STRONG. The market opened weak in consequence of the advance of the rate of discount by the Bank of Eng- land, but subsequently rallied, and towards the close showed tirmness and sympathy with the steady tone of the market abroad. New York Cen- tral opened at par, went off to 99%, but at three o’clock was again 100, Pacific Mail, which yester- day closed at 46, went down to 4514, around which | the price hovered for a considerable time, but finally closed at 4734. Cc, G& and IL ©. showed. no recuperation. Wabash was nominal all day—68 a 68% being the limits. St. Paul vibrated between 5334 a 543. Erie sold at 613; Western’Union improved slightly, selling at the close at 85%. Union Pacific fuctu- ated between 30 a 30%. ‘The general market at the close indicated that the street was inclined to disregard the toreign re- ports and to rely solely on domestic influcnces, as was illustrated by the rapid recovery in prices sub_ sequent to the appearance of the bank statement, The bears provably achieved their purpose in cov- ering their “shorts,” and the same pretexts that have been used to depress the entire line of stocks may next week be broughtin play by the same mens rampant in the opposite direction to produce the opposite effect.

During the week just closed the business in real estate presents a perfect olla podrida, the trans- actions having been of a “mincing” characte! None of the public sales can be quoted as interest- ing, with the exception of the Tweed and Roche properties, and these only from the fact of their marking the downfall of the late mighty ring. As we published full details of these two parcels of property at the time of disposal it is superfluous at this ume to recur to them but as things of the past. For this week the outlook is more promising. On Tuesday we are to have another immensely large sale of the famous Bradhurst estate, comprising 127 lots, located on St, Nicholas and Tenth ave 146th, 147th, 148th and 149th streets, This property is most beautifully situated on high ground, natural soil, good drainage, and overiooks the East River, Long Isiand Sound and the Hudson River. This will probably be the last executor’s sale of the Spring season, and, auguring from the prices ob- tained at the auctions of the Carman, Post and Harsen estates, we predict for the Bradhurst land as great a success, Mr. Van Nort 1s energetically pushing improvements on the uptown streets, and this year will yet witness the opening of the side streets upon which the Bradhurst property is Sixteen lots are fronting on the avenue curbed and guttered to 165th street. A similar number of lots front the Tenth avenue, which, likewise, is already graded and curbed, Messr: Muller, Wilkins & Co, conduct this sale, which on the same terms as those of the three abov mentioned estates—to wit, ten per cent of the purchase money on the day of disposal, twenty per cent in thirty days, and seventy per cent may remain on bond and mortgage for three, five or | seven years. THE NORTHERN BOULEVARD. On the 17th inst. Mr, Andrews, the Assistant Corporation Attorney, presented the brill o1 costs of Messrs. Wm. C. ‘Traphagan, John MoCiave and Wm. A. Seaver, Commissioners, tor opening the public drive from 166th stree Honor Judge Fancher, in the Su bers. The bill amounted to $33,586 64, which Mr. Andrews stated was of the m moderate descrip- tion, considering the magnitude of the labor per- formed, the projected drive being very nearly four miles in length. His Honor coincided with Mr. Andrews, and only reiterated the re- marks irequently made in this column, that it was reireshing to find a commission which aid its work 80 ably and economically, and the property owners ure to be congratulated on thétr good for- tune in having had a commission to make awards and assessments which partook of every spirit of justice and equity.” Messrs. Isaac P. Martin, Henry H. Anderson, O, P. West and others of coun- sel for the owners of property on the line of im- provements expressed themselves perfectly satis- fied with the moderate ¢ost of the gigantic labor performed by the commission. The Court at once confirmed the bill of costs. On the 20th inst, the report of the commission will be presented to the Supreme Court sor confirmation, and the Northern Boulevard will then become an established fact. In contradistinction to the sum of the above named commissioners, we find that the expenses incurred by the commissioners of the Kingsbridge boulevard, @ drive only about haif a mile longer, and for which nov as many superficial feet of land was taken, amounted to the startling sum of $134,050. , The inierence may be deduced from the comparigon.
