A Slight Ripple in the Stock Market. ‘The Statement of the Pacific Mail Com- pany Anxiously Awaited. Money Easy and an Easy Fall Mar- ket Predicted. MORE FIVE-TWENTIES, T0 BE REDEEMED WALL StrRet, } Friday, June 6—6 P, M. ‘On 'Change to-day cotton was in fair demand “with “spot” ruling steady and ‘futures’ 1-16c, per Pound better. slour was quiet and easy, Wheat and. corn were less active, but firmer. THE FOREIGN MARKET ‘was somewhat disturbed this morning by the state- ‘Ment published in one or two of the morning jour- nals to the effect that the British government in- ‘tended to authorize the Bank of Engiand to issue £6,000,000 in notes beyond the present limit; in other words, that the amount of circulating notes Secured by public stocks is to be increased from £15,000,000 to £21,000,000, under restrictions not igyet decided. Later in the day, however, when it was ascertained that the leading foreign bank- ers bad received no confirmation of the report from their Londen correspondents, the tremor that Ahad been occasioned subsided, and the discussions of the street were confined to tne probable conse~ ‘quences had such a policy been adopted.’ First, it is a question whether ’ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER y x fhas the right, without the direct sanction of Pariia- ment, to make such 4 serious change in the Bank act; and secondly, the bank directors, themselves among the most conservative of public financiers, ‘weuld hesitate long before their confessing the weakness of their institution to the world and taking a step that would everywhere upset values @nd weaken confidence in English faith. The London market opened with a little duiness, but at the close recovered, and consols and American _. Securities were quoted firm, as follows:—Consols, 7 92%; five-twenty bonds of 1865, 915; ; "678, 9434; ‘ten-forties, 8834; new fives, 89%; Erie, 48%. The ‘weekly statement of the Bank of France shows a #pecie increase of 2,750,000 francs. At Frankfort the iseues of 1862 were quoted at 955. The bullion withdrawn from the Bank of England to-day amounts to £50,000. THE MONEY MARKET. There is little or no change to record in the sit- wation. Money is easy at from 7 to 4 per cent for call loans, 4a5 percent being the ruling rates in open market. The amount offering at 7 per cent, gold, until the 1st of January, is said to be very large. Tne contraction of general business, the Seudsidence Of speculative fecling in a large degree, the reduction of importations and the caution su- perinduced by the fear of astringent Fall market, fhave tendea in the main to remove the impression that money will be very tignt during the Autumn ‘season. Tne market appears to be on a conserra- tive basis. .The receipts from customs to-day were 116,000. The Assistant Treasurer paid out $38,000 ‘Dn account of interest and $435,000 in redemption of five-twenty bounds. FOREIGN EXCHANGE ‘was steady, with actual sales at trom *{ to 3-16 be- Jow the nominal rates. The following were the quotations :—Sterling, 60 days, commercial, 10814 a 108%; do., good to prime bankers’, 108% a 1093; ; do., short sight, 110% a 110%; Paris, 60 days, 5.28% B 5.23% ; do., short sight, 5.20 a 5.184 , Prussian tha- S| Yers, 7134 @ 7214; Antwerp, 626% @ 52114; Switzer- land, 6.264 a 5.2144; Hamburg, 9544 29644 ; Amster- dam, 30% a 40%; Frankfort, 40% a 41%; Bremen, B55 8 9645. GOLD 118}¢ a 117%. At last a rkason is given why the gold combina- ‘tion has for so many days maintained, in antago- Dism to the sentiment of the street, its power for good or evil, and why the market to-day remains Strong and with a possible point upwards in the ‘y mot distant future. It has been surmised, or rather At is alleged, that the celebrated Syndicate, a cor- poration of gentlemen, by the way, whose pur- poses are wrapped in the profoundest mystery, some of whom are supposed to be large borrowers of gold, have been permitted by the Department, in making settlements on account of the funding operations, to give their due bills or certificates instead of gold, as required by existing law. The consequence is obvious. eylt is a known fact that the Treasury to-day is the actual possessor, after the payment of the pending liabilities of the govern- ment, including accrued interest to date on the public debt, of say about five millions of dollars, @nd the question naturally arises whether by vir- ‘ue of this action of the Syndicate, if it be correctly represented, a large amount of specie has not p deen thus withheld, and appears upon the records ‘of the Department only in the shape of the due bills @foresaid. The assumption of the truth of the Statement explains the reason why gold has been hheavy on the loan market, and, further, why the ‘larger operators have kept confidently absorbing gold at the prices that prévailed during the past Sew weeks. It is said that these operators have fbeen suspicious as a consequence of these rumors, id, furthermore, that they are looking for a de- 4, %line, to say nothing of possible politi- and = financial complications, in new and other American securities abroagy Yin which event there would be ior gphipments of gold to Europe, thas furnishing a ) -golution to the difficulties by which the Bank of 'Eagiand is now beset. To-day these new fives are ‘quoted in London at 89% (91% being their par ywaine),and it would seem to be impolitic—not to ‘mse a stronger phrase—tor the Secretary to make ther call, with but five millions at his back, and w fives selling abroad at two or three per cent Miiscount. As above stated, if the foregoing be the ‘true condition of affairs it is scarcely necessary to go farther in the task of discovering why the bull pperators in gold have taken matters so quietly, nd are apparently coutent in the belief that wpecie will advance naturally during the Summer. ‘It would not be amiss for the government itself to \@nlighten the public on this point. 4y, The following were the fluctuations of gold at the Bxchange to-day :-— 118 118 @ 11835 ‘The transactions of the Gold Exchange Bank “rere as follows :— $1,768,145 2,107,209 or seeeeee 32,804, The carrying rates were 5, 4, 6 and 3 per cent, 1 IMPORTS OF DRY GooDs.

The transactions of the day, while showing a lit- tle less of the lethargy that has prevailed for some time, were also attended with a certain degree of interest growing out of an active movement of one or two of the stocks, Generally the market opened firm, with Pacific Mail at 407%, 41, 414, but at the first Board it dropped back to the smaller fractions of 40, and continued to recede through 39, until at the close of the day it deciined to 38%. The influ- ences at work to produce this result were various, and based mainly on the many reports circulated concerning the character of the forthcoming state- it by the new direction, It is understood that this statement was made to the Board at their three o'clock session to-day, and that it may be given to the public to-morrow. The officers are extremely reticent with reference to its contents, save that they will set forth more information than has heretofore been published, and exhibit the wants and requirements of the company. In sym- pathy with Pacific Mail, one or two of the OTHER STOCKS FELL OFF, a notable instance of which was Ohio and Missi: sippi, the price opening at 41 and declining to 38: recqvering at the cluse, however, to 3914. It should be stated In this connection that a statement wag promulgated to the effect that the company had issued $400,000 of additlonal bonds, which neces- sarily produced a depressing effect ; but on investi- gation it appeared that the amount named was a part of the regular issue of bonds, retained in the treasury of the company, and only used for the possible purchase of some 4,000 tons of steel rails with which it is proposed to re-equip the road, Consequently the sale does not at all en- large the debt. Indeed, the returns of the first two weeks of the last monthly report show an in- crease of $17,000 of earnings, and the last two weeks of about the same amount, over the earn- ings of the corresponding month last year. In Rock Island the extremes were 10934 and 108%. C., C. and I. C. showed a variation between 305; and 9134. Western Unton declined from 847% to 84: New York Central from 101}, to 101. Wabash from 6874 to 683%. Erie vibrated to the extent of about 4 percent. Delaware, Lackawanna and Western was strong at 103 a 10534. The same may be said of New Jersey Central, which sold at 106% @ 106%; HIGHEST AND LOWRST PRICES, The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the day :— Highest, Lowest.

Fripay, June 6—6 P. M. The merchandise markets were irregular to-day and almost invariably dull. On ’Change there was less demand for both wheat and corn, but there was less pressure to ‘sell and the market was firmer for both, a fair export business being done at rather better prices for wheat and decidedly better prices than obtained at ghe close of yesterrday’s market for corn, Oats were still irregular. Whis- key was firmer. Pork was nominal. Lard was with- out decided change. Freight room was scarce and high, and shipments of grain were restricted thereby. Groceries were generally quiet, but prices steady. Petroleum was dull, but fominally steady. Naval stores were in moderate request at essentially unaltered prices. Cotton was in firm de- mand and steady for “spot,” while futures were a shade better. East India goods were generally quiet and steady. Wool was in mdderate request and not mate- rially changed in price. Asuxs.—Reccipts for the past three days 63 packages. The market has shown no change. Pots sell in a jobbing way at $8, while pearls remained entirely nominal. Burupixa Matentats.—We have no particular change to note in this branch of trade. Brick have been in tair demand, with pric uling steady, ay previously quoted figures. “Lime sold moderately at $150 for Rockland Common, and $175 for do. lump. Cement was quiet, with Rosendale still quoted at $175 per bbl. Laths were duiland unchanged. Quoted at $225 for Eastern spruce. Other materials not above mentioned were quiet, and not essentially changed in value. Cortox on the spot was fairly active at tormer prices.

It looked like “‘some state day or holiday or Parliament Sunday,” for the reason that the Mayor was absent. He did not put in an ap- pearance at all during the day, and it is under- stood that he was attending to certain official as well as private business at his residence. The consequence was that ‘the Hall” looked deserted, no rumors afloat and no loungers about, only when it rained and people took shelter in the vestivule, The Board of Assistant Aldermen met at two o’clock, President Wade in the chair. There was very little business transacted. The Mayor's communication relative to the decease and expected arrival of the remains of James L. Orr, Minister to Russia, was received. ‘The concurrent rr peolution trom the Board of At- dermep, providi for a joint committee of recep- tion : (ee rel ns was reoetved and concurred In.

It was stated by the members of the Masonic committee that ther body 1s expected, per steamship Thuringia, om: Tuesday or Wednesday next. Collector a has placed at the disposal of the Masonic bod revenue cutter for the reception of the rem from the steamer. The casket will be landed at the Battery, and will be escorted in procession to the City Hall. While lying in state it will be un~ HL ee tgp g 4 guarded, “watched,” by ®& guard of Knights Templars and a sub-committee: consisting of Aldermen Kehr and Morris and As- sistant Aidermen Brocks and Simonson. The re- mains will then be escorted through Broadway and Fifth avenue to the Church of the Disciples (Rev. Dr. George H. Hepworth), at Fourth avenue and! Forty-fitth street, where Services will be held, at the conclusion of which the procession will be re- formed and proceed via Filth avenue and Four- teenth street to the North River.
