The total exports of domestic merchandise dur- ing the week ending May 20, 1873, were of the value, ‘An currency, of $5,452,894. THE FOREIGN MARKET, Advices from London are to the effect that & further sum of £52,000 has been withdrawn from the Bank of England. The rate of discount re- mains unchanged. The market has visibly ‘etrengthened, consols being firm, while United States bonds were higher, with an upward ten- dency. The issues of 1867 were active ana advanced we per ‘cent to 08%. ‘vhe new fives also moved ‘upward 4 percent and are quoted at 88%. Ten- forties participate in the general buoyancy of the market and are marked 883g a 88%. The new French loan commands a premium of 2% a 2% per cent, which 1s, doubtless, attributable to the new French coalition between THIERS AND HIS ALLIES tn the Corps Législatif and to the imminence of an outbreak in France. At the close of the day Erie ‘was quoted at 49% a 493¢—an advance of 5 per cent, Rentes 54f.70e, No further advices have been received from the Continent, and the tremor caused by the anticipation of further financial embarrassment has, for the present, subsided. There are those, however, who believe that the trouble has not passed ; that the spirit of specula- tion has embraced in its folds large numbers of persons, who will eventually be forced into hquida- tion, and that more disturbance will consequently be felt in financial circles abroad than is now gen- erally supposed on this side ofthe Atlantic. At the same time confidence is expressed in the ability of the prime German and Austrian bankers tO withstand the storm, and when its worst throes have passed away it is atleged that the atmos- phere will be purer and credit stronger than before. THE MONEY MARKET. The market remains unchanged in the features previously recorded. Money was a trifle easier, the rate of interest on call loans ranging from 4 to T per cent, witn the majority of transactions on the basis of 6a6 per cent, Prime commercial paper’ found ready sale at7a9 per cent discount. The supply of money is still abundant, and no fear ie expressed that it will become scarce during the ‘Summer. It is a well known fact that the South has absorbed a large amount of our currency, and there are but few points—as, for instance, New Or- jeans, Memphis and Charleston—irom which it re- turns, It has entered into the Southern circula- tion and there remains. If by any possibility this current should turn Northward during the Sum- gier money will be easier and lower than even at present; but in any event there seems no reason why it should not maintain its present rates. FOREIGN EXCHANGE ‘was weak, and the bankers lowered their rate per cent for sterling. This is in pursuance of the reaction referred to yesterday in the HERALD. The following are the altered rates:—Sterling, sixty days, commercial, 108% a 106%; do., good to prime bankers’, 108% a 1093; do., short sight, 110 9 110%; Paris, sixty days, 5.273¢ a 5.2234; do., short sight, 6.18%, @ 6.1736; Prassian thalers, 71% a 72%; Antwerp, 5.26% @ 6.214; Switzerland, 6.26% a 6.21%; Hamburg, 935 a 963; Amsterdam, 39% a * 40%; Frankfort, 40% 941%; Bremen, 95% a 96%. GOLD STEADY—1175¢ A 117%. The market in gold was dull and heavy, and in sympathy with the weakness already reported in foreign exchange, having fallen off to 117%. The fluctuations were but slight, as will be seen by the peracne table :— RM... 1:11 P.

The general tone of the market has been dull and firm, and transactions, save tm Pacific Maul, Erle and Western Union, were comparatively light. The opening was weak, the first sale of Pacific Mail being at 45, that stock going off to 46%; but, recovering, the price hovered around 4855 a 46 until near the close of the day, when it sold at 4634. Erie was active, as a sequence of the favorable ad- vices from London, opening @t 62% and steadily improving until it touched, AK, The London SPECULATORS IN ERIE seem to have again obtained control of the marke! their design as regards the leasing of the Great Western Railroad to the Erie Company aving™ been furthered by the consequences of the Vienna panic, which several days ago precipitated a large amount of the stock on the English market. Western Union was dull, the lowest price being 85%, from which point it advanced to 86%. New York Cen- tral was especially strong late in the afternoon, and turned the corner of 101, its example being imitated by Lake Shore, which advanced to 91, the twestocks showing more or less sympathy with each other. 81, PAUL as steady, notwithstanding the announcement by the company of the closing of the books, which, although done on the 17th inst., was made public only within a day or two. This action was taken against the issue to stockholders ag first choosers of a new ten per cent equipment loan, the nature and charaster of which are set forth as follows:— The opening of the new road between Milwaukee and Noone ind extension of other lines of the company aving developed a large ea does) ave made it necessary for the company to rocure an increased amount of equipment and to lay steel rails on the main lines; also to procure additional Ce grounds and improve the same. Pp! ie necessary fands therefor and also for the building of @ bridge across the Mis- sisslppt River at La Crosse, the “Board of rectors have resolved to issue $2,500,000.| of bonds, to be styled “Equipment and Bridge bends,” ‘which are to be a first lien on the bridge and a second lien on the reilways of the company, excepting the La Orosse and Prairie du Chien divi- sions, on which the new bonds will be a oe ne Said bonds are to be $1,000 each, drawing ten cent eettet pay souls semt-i -annually on the 1s of June and ist of December, principal due June 1, 1888, the company having the option, on ninety days’ notice, to pay the bond at any time after June 1, 1878. One million five hundred thousand of said bonds are now 0! d to the common and preferred shareholders, at par and interest, in pro- Portion to the amount of shares held by each, 8a; one bond for every hundred shares of stock, im much as some persons, especially trustees, will probably deciine to subscribe. it ment may be made in one sum or in monthiy instalments of twenty per cent each. In all cases interest will be reckened at ten per cent r annum, being the same as the bonds. The directors reserve the right to close this offer at any time. Bonds will be ready for delivery June 1, 1873. There has been a little more activity lately in NORTHWESTERN PREFERRED, the result, it is shrewdly suspected, of orders to sell the stock for account of the German market — a further consequence in turn of the Vienna panic. Union Pacific and C., C, and I. ©. kept side by side In an upward turn to a common quotation of 31. The rest of the market calls for little remark fur- ther than that the average improvement of the day, outside of the features already mentioned, was about 3¢ per cent. The fact has, doubtless, been observed amd commented upon that Wall street is at the present moment WITHOUT A LEADER other than such as Jay Gould is credited to be, for there is scarcely a Movement up or down now- adays for which, there being no reasonable ex- planation, he is not supposed to be directly or indi- rectly responsible. In fact, this one individual ap- pears to be the “bugaboo” of the bulls and beurs, alternately. To illustrate: The market being now at slack water, the gossips have it that Jay Gould is ort’? of Western Union and long of other stocks, among which are prominently mentioned St. Paul and Pacific Mail; that he is keeping these stocks down to the end, that by sympathy he may likewise depress Western Union and thus be en- abled to close his contracts in that stock without loss. The election in Lake Shore took away the Lake Shore party, who, after finishing their busi- ness in Cleveland, extended their trip to the line of the Pacific Railroad, and are not expected back until the latter part of the week, when, if these Same gossips are to be believed, there will be “MUSIC IN THE AIR.’ The reason given is that when Schell & Clark return they will find the market underiaid with a broad “short”? mterest, against which they will move as instinctively as @ Spanish bull would charge a scarlet rag.

CLAWSON, THE BLACK BUTCHER. Jackson, the Woman Murderer, Hanted Down at Last in a Den in the Eighth Ward—He Con- fesses Part of His Crime—An Attempt to Kill Himselfi—A Mysterious Accomplice—Who is Hel Jackson, the negro who ts alleged to have mue- dered the woman Caroline McDermott, with whom he lived) a6 573¢ Thompson street, was arrested yesterday afternoon, Captain McCullough received information yesterday morning that Jackson was concealed in the building at the southeast corner of South Fifth avenue and Houston street, The Captain, with the assistance of Sergeant Sohulta, Searched every nook and corner of the house, and. found him ‘at last, at half-past one P.M..°in’ the basement, in a saloon which is frequented by negroes of the lowest clagé. He lay concealed in a dark, narrow closet. Two shutters were stretched across, and the negra was ‘stretched on some foul rags. He moaned and writhed with pain when the Captaim entered the closet. He was bleeding from a terri- ble bloody gash tliat had almost severed his neck from his body. The blood trickled down his breas§ and had ane att Pa Fou? ene ‘the had lain on, ver pre a ae Jackso) tap obaitan Ech spoke to nn nes wine image Py of blood on the negro’s forehead, and some smaller ones beneath his eyes, HE STARED WILDLY BEFORE 01M with an expression of terror. ahaha so we have found you at last, Jackson,” alo gald to fhe, negro, wha nee pie, pe. or Eig fear. ER : He gasped and le and seomed | ‘anable to utter a word, “Oh, Captain,” he said, pointing at the terrible gash in his neck, “I am very glad te gee you. “You thought yor would make your escap Captaia asked. The negro’s frame quivered, and his hands trem- bled convulsively as he raised, them to his wound. “I knew that Icould not get away, Captain,” he said, sinking his tone to a scarcely audible whis- per. “I intended to come and give myself up to you, Captain.” ‘The blood flowed down freely while he spoke. “Jackson, tees! didn’t you come before now?” the Captain pursue “Twas afraid to show myself, Captain,” Jackson replied. “I knew you were after me and I wanted’ to give myselt up when the thing had been quieted down. We, you'll have to come to the police station,” the Captain said. Jackson Was removed in an ambulance to the Fighth ward police station. AS SOON AS IT BECAME KNOWN that the alleged murderer of Caroline McDermott had been arrested an immense crowd gathered around the station, Several hundred negroes and negresses stood patiently in front of the building, waiting to catch a glimpse of Jackson. They | were very much exeited and some of them | expressed sympathy with the alleged murderer. Coroner Herrman was called and took charge of the case. After Jackson’s wound had been ban- oa ed the Ooroner interrogated nim at length. Jackson’s answers were broken by pain and scarcely audible. He suifered very much while he spoke. “This woman,” he said, “she fell down a flight of stairs. We ee been out that night and [had given her several ses of liquor. Whenl got home I took her up a airs, Istarted for the doctor and a feliow told me she Was dead. 1 then went to the closet and cut my throat.’’ Coroner HERRMAN—Who was this “fellow” who told you she was dead ? JACKSON (gasping with anguish)—He wanted bank book and wanted to take possession of al my things; he used to come and sec her all the the | time. Soesoy 1 gon" was this ae ACKSON—L gon’ en who he was, ne W ft, LIGHT FELLOW, but he was a colored man. When this man left me he said, “You can do just as you like.” He sai “You wait till come back; I'll just go and see she is dead. If she is dead you cut yaur throat.” 1 didn’t walt, but [got so scared that I cut myself with the razor, CoRONER—DIA you not use a little piece of tron in beating the woman? JACKSON (his eyes rolling horribly)—No, sir; no sir. [used a little cane, with Which I struck "her once—that was ull. Ididn’t use any tron at all, air, Jackson was handcuffed and then taken to Belle- vue Hospital The crowd that surrounded the am- bulance Was enormous, It yelled and hooted and shouted when Jackson came out, ard it almost Seemed as though the mob intended to make a rush at him. ,The police soon drove the crowd back, however, and the ambulance rattled quickly away. Jackson is A BURLY, TALI. NEGRO, six feet high, broad shouldered, and evidently @ man of great physical strength. His face has an expression of brutal ferocity, and there is @ strange fire in his large black eyes. He is a very Spal erate man, and Will be closely watched while Bellevue Hospital. His wound is about stx fnches in length, severing the Se at he toe, vein. It begims on the hd, jhe side of the and exends to the medium line, The kite grazed the windpipe, so that the air comes out with a hissing sound when he breathes, and it also cut the thyroid arteries, Dr. T. H. White, wats was present at the e: ation, gave as his opinion that Jack- son will probaly recover. it may take six or eight weeks before the wound will healed, As present the greatest danger is the probability of inflammation of the lungs setting in, and vm sician will try to close the wound. They iL be: | able to tell ina few days whether Jackson wilk | recover, There is strong probability that he will, and as he has already confessed his Sy ppl admitted that he struck the woman and attempt suicide to escape panishment—it is hoped that he will be Vira duly tried. Coroner Herrman and Cap. tain McOullough told the iigxaLp reporter that U believed Jackson's story. The Captain quite probabie that THE ONE which Jackson admits having ig iniicted, caused the woman’s death, and that Jackson determined to die by his own hand rather than suffer the hoe of Foster and Nixon.
