The Possible Effect of a Steamboat Excursion on Members of the Stock Exchange. Government Securities in Good Demand. MONEY STILL EASY. WALL STREET, Fripay, May 23—6 P. M. } On ‘Onange to-aay cotton was dull. Flour was quiet, but steady, while wheat, corn and oats were in demand at better prices, DRY GOODS IMPORTS, The total imports of foreign dry goods at this port for the week ending May 22, 1873, were of the specic value of $1,479,107, the amount marketed during the same time being $1,496,956. THE FOREIGN MARKET showed but slight symptoms of retrogression from the prices quoted yesterday. The market opened Strong, with consois for money at 93% a 93%, which subsequently advanced to 94. Erie sold at 49% a 4954, but later went off to 49, United States bonds were firm, 67's being quoted at 9414, ten-forties at 885 a 88%, and new fives at 891¢ a 89%. The French loan continues to command a premium of 3% per cent, and the rate of discount for three months’ bills in open market is 1 per cent below that of the Bank of England, Rentes at Paris were easy at 54.80. THE MONEY MARKET. Money was offered freely at 6 a 7 per cent in- terest on call loans, and, later in the day, more was seeking use at 5 per cent than was wanted. From 7 to 9 per cent discount continues the rate for prime commercial paper. Foreign exchange was dull and weaker. The following are the quota- tions:—Sterling, sixty days’ commercial, 108% a 108%; do., good to prime bankers’, 108% a 1094; do., short sight, 109% a 110; Paris, sixty days, 5.28% a 5.235%; do, short sight, 5.19% @ 5.1834; Prussian thalers, 71% @ 72:4; Antwerp, 6.27% a 6.2234: Switzerland, 5.26% a 5.2134; Hamburg, 95% & 94; Amsterdam, 39% a 40%; Franklort, 40% a 41%: Bremen, 95% a 96. ‘vhe legal tenders outstanding are $356,353,000, being a decrease of $12,000 since yesterday. The internal revenue receipts of the day were $420,000. The Treasury balances at the close of business to- day were as follows:— Currency. Coin... 74,600,000 Certificates. 26,330,000 The business of the Sub-Treasury was as fol- lows:— $4,330,000 Gold receipts... $421,333 Gold payments. 2,743,875 Balance... 40,474,467 Currency receipts. 2,132,105 Currency payments le Currency balance.. ++ 28,524,387 ‘The Sub-Treasurer paid out on account of in- terest $150,000, making a total thus far of $9,237,000. The Custom House receipts amounted to $324,000. GOLD STRONG—1L17% A 118%. The market opened this morning under circum- stances that enshrouded its movements in mystery. Withont any apparent exciting cause, without sympathy with any known financial changes, and seemingly obedient to a mere whim, gold took its stand at 118, from which point, with but one or two exceptions, it did not recede during the day; onthe contrary, it grew stronger as it advanced an %, % and %, at which latter figure the market closed, It was soon noised abroad that “the clique” had resumed operations, and the tongues of the street waxed busy in circulating the thou- sand and one rumors incident to this last new departure. The story was eurrent and generally believed that one or two parties have lor several days been quictly ACCUMULATING SPECIE, and now Jold several millions, The fact appeared to be verified by the iurther purchase to-day of upwards of eight millions of dollars through brokers known to represent this now well devel- oped “bull” interest. With reference to the pur- pose of the operation theorics are as thick as blackberries. Men’s judgments are like their watches. No two may go the same, yet each be- leves his own. By some it is alleged that the clique are intent on locking up gold In order to depress stocks, and thus cover the short interest which at present exists, By others the averment is made that the chief leader in the movement is himself, so “long” in goid that he must perforce put ona bold face and at any risk weather the storm that threatens him. Ifhe wins A STRINGENCY may be created in the money market which will exert a depressing influence on securities gener- ally. If he fails securities will become stronger as @ sequence of that failure and of the confidence which will be naturally engendered by successful Tesistance to a powerful combination. It was evi- dent throughout the day that the effort to “bull” the market was uphill work, and there were not the slightest manifestations of a scare. Ifmay be added that apprehensions of a “lock up” do not seem to be well founded when gold is being loaned a@t 30 and 60 days. The fluctaations of the market during the day may be.seen from the following ap. M The transactions of the Gold Exchange Bank ‘Were as follows :— Currency balances 2,382,742 Gross ciearances.. 58,879,000 The carrying rates of gold were 3, 3, 4, 6and6 per cent. RAILROAD BONDS were firm, the prices fluctuating but a trifie from yesterday's quotations. Advices irom the West, received through gentlemen who have just re turned from a tour of observation, point to the fact that many of the railroads show signs of im- Provement as compared with thetr condition last year. They are deriving more income from local traMc than heretofore, and the growth of the country and development of trade along the re- spective lines is adding materially to the value of this vast Western interest. The following were tne bias at the call, as amended by subsequent prices :— Tol & Wab Ist m ex. -.; 9 La ois + $1,820,560 Se. guise ey To lt m, "90. 9154 aions & Chic 2 34th. 96 hic, RT & Pi ‘104 te cocouzzEs: i ET FEEES Eee: BPP ss 555 # U; J it Cen ea it & Fons, Tol, Peoria Chic &N Tol, P Chic &N Toh Fe Chic &N NY& Han 4 Si Bost, Del, Lack Bost, Del, Lack Cedar.

Bonds were strong and active, the demand being greater than the supply. The German bankers would have been among the largest investors, but their purchases were necessarily small, owing to the limited lots offering. The following are the ruling prices :—United States currency sixes, 11634 @ 116%; do. sixes, 1881, registered, 118% a 119; do. do, do., coupon, 12234 a 122%; do. five-twenties, registered, May and November, 116% a 116%; do, do., 1862, coupon, do., 116% @ 116%; do. do., 1864, do., do., 1165 a 116%; Go. do., 1865, do., do., 1185¢ @ 118% ; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 118% @ 11934; do. do., 1865, coupon, do, 119% a 11943 do. do., 1867, do., do., 121% 8 121%; do. do. 1868, do., do., 120 a 120% ; do, ten-forties, registered, 112% a 112%; do. do., coupon, 1143, a 114%; do, fives of 1881, registered, 115%; do. do. do., coupon, 115% a 11534. STOCKS DULL. There was little to be noted in the stock market beyond the general dulness, The chief business of the day was done in Pacific Mail, which divided the honors with Western Union and Erie. The former opened at 46%, advanced to 46%—1ts highest price during the day—then gradually receded to 45%, re- covered to 46 and closed at 455;—a rather vibratory exhibition of speculative value, Erie opened strong at 6434, obedient to London advices, but eventually went off % per cent, and closed at 634. The remaining stocks showed slight varia-" tion from the prices of yesterday, being & trifle lower on the general average. Arelief to the mototony of the day was afforded by the introduction, perhaps facetiously, of a peti- tion to the Governing Committee of the Stock Ex- change setting forth:— ‘That inasmuch as the present life insurance sys- tem ol exchange values the lie of each individual member at $10,000, and that in case of an accident the entire 100 might lose their lives, thus putting the survivors to $1,000,000 exp nse to perform their part of the insurance contract, these petitioners pray that a committee be appointed to investigate into the safety of the boat, the condition of tne boilers and the experience of the captain and pilot of the same, It appears that a considerable number of the members having chartered a steamboat for the purpose of witnessing the annual regatta of the New York Yacht Club on the 5th of June, the stay- at-homes—viewing the pleasurable spectacle from an insurance standpoint—thus propose to insist on @ proper protection of their interests, and they claim that it is a matter which should receive prompt and decisive attention. In other words, they do not intend to be ‘‘cornered’’ by the possible spasm of a steamboat boiler that may suddenly lift a hundred of their associates in mid-air at the cost aforesaid. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES, The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the day :— nik York Central Mail... i Phadnis Pennsylvania advanced to 110%, Heading remaining steady at 116.

Fray, May 23—6 P, M. The markets were quite generally dull to-day, while the same irregularity in prices previously noticed was still apparent, the nrmer tone of the gold market exerting little or no influence. Some few of the leading commodities were quite freely dealt in, but the markets were quite generally duil, with prices in buyers’ favor. Dry goods were still dull and somewhat irregular, while in hardware and similar articles trade showed some falling off as compared with last week, though the brightness of the day quickened the demand somewh: or two having been unfavorable to an active prose- cution of commercial matters. Cotton was dull. Flour was quiet but steady. Wheat was in moderate demand, but prices were higher, owing to a breakin the Erie Canal, which would delay receipts, via that route, about a week, that time being required, it was thonght, to repair the break. Corn and oats were in demand and higher, Whiskey was aiso higher. Pork and lard were in statu quo. Freights were still very strong. Groceries were quict, except for coffee, which was in good demand at firmer prices. Petroleum was quict, but hela firmer. Spirits of turpentine were in good demand at firmer prices. Rosin was in fair request and about steady. Metais remained quiet. Woel met with a air demand at steady prices. AsiEs.—Receipts for the past three days, 56 packages.
