The value ofthe imports of general merchan- dise at this port for the week ending May 30 amounted in currency to $5,458,117, Of dry goods the imports for the same period were $1,057,804, the amount marketed being $1,018,006, 7? THE BANK STATEMENT. ‘The bank statement is in the main favorable, in- aemuch as it shows a gain of $848,175, and nearly testores the surplus reserve reported last week. The legal reserve now amounts to $4,918,650, the percentage of reserve to habilities in the case of national banks being about 27.61 per cent. There bas been a decrease in leans, specie, circulation and deposits, with an increase of $1,579,400 in legal tenders. The statement, with its predecessor of the preceding week, is given below :— May 24. May 31, + $278, 846,300 $277,957,800 32,600 18,482,000 209,762,300 208, 42,752,900 44,832,200 The changes for the week have been as follows:— ++ $1,887,500 + 4,150,600 0. Decrease in deposits.. increase in legal tender: ‘The above figures show that the banks now hold $4,918,650 in excess of the reserve required by jaw, ae against $4,070,475 last week, the gain being $848,175. sy t)% =” THE FOREIGN MARKET. ‘The tone of the foreign market is one of steadi- ness and strength, and no influences seem to be at work that are likely to change this condition in the immediate future. Thg conservative action of the Bank of England hae preserved an equality be- tween theebb and fow of bullion, and the confid- ence engendered by this freedom from all fever-ish impulses is that which has given the stifness to the general market of which we have been from day to day advised. Consols represent with the certainty of a barometer the rise and fall of public faith in England; and it is but natural that even on this side of the Atlantic they should be similarly regarded as the indicators of the finan- cial tefperature abroad, and reiiect to us some- thing of the healthful situation of which they are @ part. Hence, the reports from London to-day ‘Were Dot Without effect in inspiring some specula- tien, maintaining vaiues, and especially among the German and other foreign capitalists, evoking comparative feeling of security. The following sa summary of the London despatches :—Consols @pened at 93% for money and advanced to 94, at ‘whicn price they remained firm to the close. Five- ‘Swenty bonds of the issue of 1865 (old) were strong at 91%; five-twenty bonds of 1867 at 9434; ten-for- ties at 88%, and new fives at 8914. Erie was quoted at 4934. Rentes in Parts were steady at 57, and the mew French loan was at 6% a 6% per cent pre- weium. It is announced by cable telegram that Monday being ‘‘Whit Monday” will be observed as @ bank holiday in England. Tuesday will be a holi- Gay in the cotton market. ' THE MONEY MARKET showed little change from the condition already Teported. Currency was offered freely at from #@to7 per cent on call loans, the extremes of the day, With the bulk of the transactions at an ave- Tage of 5‘ per cent. Prime commercial paper changed hands at a discount of 798 per cent. The improvement in the bank statement, set forth else- ‘where, was encouraging to an active movement, “and served to relieve the market from any supposititious pressure. Foreign exchange was Stronger, and after noon the bankers advanced Fates to 108% sterling and 109% for sight, the firm- Ress doubtless being due to the expectation that there would be ademand for remittance on ac- eount of called bonds between this time and the M@ilddie of the ensuing week. The receipts from customs to-day were $264,251. GOLD, 11834 4 117%. Gold opened at the figure first above named, but quickly dropped to 117% a 117%, where, in response to the obstinate pounding of the bears, it remained the greater part of the day. Subsequently it re- Covered a point or two, and eventually closed at 126}¢ @ 1181-16, The rates paid jor carrying were 4,2,3,4and 5 per cent., and flat tor borrowing ‘Bhe transactions of the Gold Exchange Bank were a8 follows :— Gold balances........ + $5,167,611 Currency balances. . 6,470,600 Grose clearances... seeeee 90,449,000 Forty-two thousand dollars on sccount of in- terest and $3,913,000 in redemption of 6-20 bonds ‘were paid by the Assistant Treasurer.

It is estimated by the Syndicate that orfly $6,500,000 will be paid out in settlement of the fifty millions of 5-20 bonds called in on the Ist of June. ‘The Assistant Treasurer to-day paid out on tis ac- count $3,900,000 in gold, checks from Washington for this amount having been presented.

The quotations indicate strong sympathy with the foreign market, and the demand is not likely to slacken while surplus capital abroad continues to seek profitable investment. A fair business was done in the Issues of 1881, '65 and 68. Secretary Richardson is reported to have received a despatch from Government Agent Catel, at London, to-day, stating that the called bonds are coming in rapidly. The indications are that another call will be made next week.

THE STOOK MARKET. It is not often the case that the stock market undergoes any violent paroxysm on the last day of the week, Henee, beyond the fancy operations in Pacific Mail, there is little of special interest to record, Steadiness and, in several instances, im. provement, were exhiblted, especially towards the close of the day, but the transactions were light. Western Union advanced from 8414 to 8534, closing firm, New York Central and Hudson advanced to 1013 and closed at 1013. Rock Island sold at 10834, %, 34, 96, 26, ANd closed at 109. Lake Shore opened at 9014 and steadily improved to 91. Union Pacific sold At 2734, 27, 26%, rebeunded to 275; a 27% and wound up at 274. St. Paul advanced from 54% te 554, and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western shewed its firmness by holding between the extremes of 10434 @ 105. Erie was likewise Steady at 633g 2 % a 34. Toledo and Wabash moved from 67% to 68%, rececing % at the glose. In Northwestern ~ shares no sales of the common stock were reported, and the price for the preferred was, for actual business, about 85. ©. C. and 1. C. opened at 30, Went off to 295, but, subsequently recovered to 204. As before stated the general business of the day was dull, and little or no enthusiasm was ex- hibited on the part of either sellers or buyers. It is said that a report will be made concerning the affairs of Pacific Mail early in the ensuing week, and that it will not be calculated to inspire extra- ordinary confidence in the condition of the com- pany. The statement is given for what it is worth, and without suggestiug that it may prove only another shrewd movement on the financial chess- board that has already been the field of so many hard fought battles. In honor to the memory of the late Mr. E. Stanton, an old member of the Stock Exchange, recently deceased, the usual one o'clock call was omitted. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

BRAEUNLICH. FEDERAL OFFICE AFFAIRS. pee eel Promotion in the Custom Heuse and Post Office=The Embellishment of the Collector’s Office=Pension Payments To Be Made on the 4th Inst.<Internal Revenue Matters, Owing to the c0th ult, being a holiday on which the various public buildings were closed, the rush of business at the Custom House yesterday was very great. On Friday the place was open but one hour, for the accommodation of those desirous of entering and clearing vessels, but no other busi- ness was transacted. By order of the Secretary of the Treasyry, Coliector Arthur’s appointment of Mr. Jal R. Lydecker as Storekeeper of the Port was contirmed, and this gentleman’s commission was handed to him yes- terday, and he has entered upon the discharge of his duties, Mr. Lydecker now has the supervision of upwards of ninety United States bonded ware- houses, besides being the Special Deputy Collector, empowered to act in the stead of the Collector. Saturday being the last day of the month, the regular payments were made, Assistant Auditor Samuel J. Jacobs had his hands fall during the day dispensing the checks to the employés of the Col- lector’s and Surveyor’s offices. The sum total dis- Le amounted to nearly two hundred thousand jollars. The amount refunded for excess of unascertained duties in the month of May sums up $221,923. Collector Arthur’s offices have lately undergone ® healthy renovation, and present in their fin- ished state a picture of elegance and refinement scarcely to be met in a public office, The rurniture and apppintments are rich yet plain, and reflect eat credit on the taste of the popular Collector. Sue of the ornaments on the wall is a life-like oil painting of the venerable Assistant Collector, Mr. Charles P. Clinch, executed by F. A. Durivage, which was presented to him about three years ago by the employés of the Custom House, the subscrip- tions being limited to $1. Tne picture had been neglected, and before General Arthur’s advent Mr. Qlinch transierred the same to his residence at Staten Isiand. Lately the Collector found out that the painting was in existence, and requested Mr. Clinch to have the same returned to the former's Office, wicre it is to rank as one o! its ornaments. At the Post Office the employés were likewise paid on Saturday, much to their edification. The Pi ent by check seems to work very satisfactorily. ir. Harvey Majer, for over twelve years Deputy Superintendent of the New York Custom !.ouse, Cashier of Sales of Unclaimed Goods and several ears connected with Mr. James while he was itorekeeper of the Port, as well as Deputy Col- lector of the Third division, has been prevailed upon to accept the Casmership of the Post Office by Postmaster James. Mr. Majer has been acting temporarily in this capacity since the new chief as- sumed the office on the ist of April, by permission of Collector Arthur, and yesterday his permanent appointment was tendered him, which he finally accepted, Mr. Majer is a thorough business man, highly competent, and will reflect credit upon the important office he now fills. As his assistants Mr. Majer has Messrs. E. L. Taylor, son of the late Post- master Taylor, and J. H, a both graduates of the office in which they have been for a long ume employed. Another new appointment just made by Post- master James is ex-State Senator John J. Foote as Auditor for the Post Oiice. Considerable of a clamor is made by merchants and others for postal cards, Applications are received daily from post- masters remote from this city for a supply, who imagine that New York has a monopoly of these tiny pasteboards, ‘Thus far only 1,500,000 have been sent here aitogether, whereas orders for upwards of two millions are on file, It is expected that about one million will be received this week. On the 4th instant Mr. Silas B. Dutcher, United States Pension Agent, wil! commence the payment of pensions at his oifice in the Custom House to those entitled to receive the same. Every prepara- tion has been made for the rapid disbursements of the moiety, for the coming of which so many anxiously await the day. ‘This will be the second quarterly payment fer the pent year, the first one having been made jareh 4. In the Internal Revenue Department there is nothing new to report, with the exception that the “poteen” distillers are making vigorous ar- rangements to carry on their illicit traitic, with a rospect which the curtailment of Supervisor Plawhey's force fully warrants them In expecting to be made highly successful. WORK OF THE OORONERS. About half-past three o'clock yesterday after- noon Thomas Boyle, a laborer, twenty-four years of age, fell from the tower of the Brooklyn Bridge, foot of Reosevelt street, East River, to the pave- ment, and was almost instantly killed, The re- mains were taken to the Fourth precinct station house and Coroner Keeman notified, Deceased lived in Brooklyn. Mrs. Mary ace h @ woman eighty years of age, a native of Ireland, fell from a third story winddw of premises 43 Oliver street to the pavement and was almost instantly killed. Coroner Kessier was notified to hold an inguest over the remains. Coroner Kessler was yesterday called to 491 Seventh avenue to hold an inquest on the body of Thomas Beach, a jad seven years of age, who was almost instant killed in Seventh avenue, near .Thirty-sixth street, by being run over by car 120 of the Seventh avenge line, driven by Michael Mooney. It appeared that Thomas and some other boys were at play, when he, to avoid a pass- ing truck, ran between the whiMetree and dash- board of the car, and being knocked @own the wheels passed over and fatally crushed him before the driver couid stop the car. Mooney was arrested and taken te.the Twentieth precinct station house, REAL ESTATE GOSSIP, , Resume of the Week’s Operations--- ‘Thoughts on Annexation. LONG ISLAND SOUND AS A SUMMER RESORT. The East Side Boulevard Being Rapidly Con- structed—Property Owners Rejoicing. Between the present closing real estate season and the opening of the next one the subject of the annexation of the three Westchester towns—Mor- risania, Kingsbridge and West Farms—to the city of New York will principally occupy the attention of real estate circles. The obstructives met with a sure defeat in the passage of the bill, for which the provision inserted that a majority of the people of both counties may reject it, if so inclined, by their votes at the general election in November next, affords no adequate consolation to them. They had intended to defeat the measure en- tirely, but the vigor and determination of its friends have forced it to the front as one of the living issues of the day, that will have to be met and disposed of in a logical and comprehensive manner. These ‘‘obstructives”” have already realized, and they are destined to do 80 still more vividly, that the contract they have undertaken to dam the forces of nature and philosophy, in respect to the interests and require- ments ofa VAST METROPOLITAN POPULATION, will task their powers to their utmost, No instru- ment not more efficacious than a pitchfork will an- swer for this purpose, and in proof it is reported that the Harlem “Ebenezers’’ concluded, at their meeting on Thursday evening last, that “it could hardly be hoped te defeat annexation next Fall at the polls without money.” The public will readily distinguish between any real local opposition to annexation and the oppo- sition that is propagated through profitable direc- terships in outside railroads, which influences will be recognized as having been for a long period the principal impeding elements te quick trgnsit through New York city. When to such influ’aces are added the crew of scheming adventurers in- terested in palming off on a confiding public lots beyond any reasonable prospect of being ulti- mately included within the boundaries of this great city, and that will most surely absorb and waste a large portion of the capital ex- pended for, their improvement, the friends of the steady growth of the city northward towards its natural outlet, and of the prosperity of its citi- zens in their legitimate real estate investments in that direction, will be prepared to properly esti- mate the moral power of their adversaries before the people in November, But for the edification of the society of “‘Implaca- bles” we will here state, that as steady as the PROGRESS OF THE ANNEXATION SCHEME has been watched by us during its various phases while in the hands of our lawmakers, so will we further keep guard over its welfare until the measure becomes a law. The lynx eye of the press is riveted upon the much needed improvement, and the assertions made by parties high in power with the opposi- tionists that it needs funds to defeat the scheme at once demonstrates that their protests rest u, a foundatien as treacherous as quicksand, which is certain Souive way before sound, common sense ument. e influence the bill for annexation has already wrought is wonderful. Not only have values on Poin ephanced in the section incluced in the pro- posed consolidation, but the entire county of Weatchester partakes of the impending expansion of this great metropolis. Yonkers property has advanced in price, and justly so, This new fledged city offers such inducements to investors that pur- chasers may fee] assured to reap the very best re- muneration for expended capital. Furthermore, the elegant villa sites on the Long Isiand Sound, so near to the city, and within an hour's ride from Harlem, are sure to deviate travel to remote Summer resorts. We need only cite the beautiful “Larchmount’’ preperty, on the New York and New Haven Railroad, formerly known as the E. K. Collins’ estate. he railroad depet erected here is a marvel of beauty. <A Gothic building, erected on an eminence, the green sward in front thereof, beautified with vases and numer- ous beds of SWEET AND FRAGRANT EXOTICS, imvariably rivets the attention of the passer by and elicits encomiums of admiration on the pleasing sight thus presented. A ride of one mile in a well- appointed horse car brings the passenger to the water front ot theSound. Here the prospect is in- spiring. Many elegant cottages have been builtand others are in the course of construction. Among the iatter may be enumerated very handsome edifices now buildin; Mr, Thompson J, J. Fiint, President of the Continental Bank; Mr. Silas C. Herring, Mr. James Donaldson, Mr. Wilham L. Barker and many others. The Brooklyn Yacht Mt ae negotiating for ground at thid piace upon whicl TO ERECT A CLUB HOUSE for their members, the cove in front thereof pre- senting an elegant rendezvous for their squadron, which very few other water courses can warrant. Thus it will be seen that it is by no means neces- sary to ge to Newpost for a Summer residence if a fine water prospect is sought, for Latchmont offers every inducement tn this line, Now that the bill for the building of the Eastern Bouievard is a law east side property has received an impetus which 18 very refreshing. Holders of Teal estate east of Eifth avenue are elated at the prospect of obtaining in a short time a drive of their own, thereby saving time in going over to the west side, Then the speedy completion of the labor now going on at Hell Gate likewise has its influence to give this locality an upward tendency in prices, because itis justly conjectured that with the blasting of the huge obstructions navigation and commerce will require the vast water fronts of the East River. In this manner the stability of city lots is firmly established by the increasing im- provements, which no amount of croaking can in ba degree diminish. ast Thursday the fine property. Nos. 723, 725 and 727 Sixth avenue, known as Lyric Hall, was put up for sale at auction, subject to a long lease held b: Mr. Trenor. The highest price bid wus $147,000, which being below the amount expected by the owner the sale was postponed indeiinitely. Dee. the past week We have had occasion to chronicle several very important and high-priced transactions in real estate on the east as well as the west side. The rates in each instance were satisfactory, and demonstrative of an active mar- ket. This last remark may be aptly applied to sales of suburban property, a number of which occurred last week, and the details thereof found @ space in our columns. The transactions impend- ing this week, as far as regards pubiic sales, will be published te-morrow. BROOKLYN HEALTH BOARD. More Appointments—Change of Loca- tion—A Yellow Fever VesseleSewer Connections To Be Made. The new Health Board held a meeting yesterday. President Gordon in the chair. The chief object of the session was the distribution of ‘political pap,” in the form of giving away six positions to medi- cal adherents of the republican party. The tmdi- viduals winning the sanitary situations designated “Special Assistant Sanitary’ Inspectors,” were D. H. Crownine, W. G. Russel, W. Read, W. H. Com- erer, W. J. DuMeld ana 8. P. Macaloy. The com- pensation allowed these appointees is $125 per month, There are now eleven men em- ployed under the new Health machine to make “inspections” alone. Five was the quota under the old régime, which brought the city safely out of divers threatened epidemics, The new comers adhere, however, to the policy that “to the victors belong the spoils,” and are bound to make place accordingly for their republi- can allies regardless of cost. The Board also determined to move from their present quarters, the Newam building (which were last Summer fitted up at considerable expense), in Washington street, near Johnson, and take up their abode on the second floor of the Emigrant Savings Bank building, corner of Livingston and Court streets. This change will involve an’ in- crease in the outlay for rent from $1,200 to $1,500 er year. 3 Application was made by Demas Strong for the stationing of an ambulance in the vicinity of the Eastern District Hospital. Referred. An Inspector reported that he had made an inspection of @ bark lying at one of the docks; that the vessel had recently arrived from Rid Janiero, after a voyage of seventy-seven days; that the yellow fever had appeared during the voyage and four of the crew had been sick, but recovered, The vessel had been detained two oar ea quarantine and had been thoroughly dis- A resalution was passed requiring owners of property living on the line of streets through which sewers were laid to cause connections to be made forthwith with water closets.
