It will be ob- served that there 1s a marked increase in specie and Jegal tenders, a large increase in deposits and a @ecrease of $64,000 in loans. The statement, with 158,443 %a predecessor of the preceaing week, is given be- jow -— ad oh. 7,4: ait 475,800 45,308,000 ‘The changes for the week have been as follows:— Deposits. Legal tenders.

It is scarcely safe, however, to pre- @ict from this statement a continuance of the seem- ingly healthy condition, since the money market is met Jikely to derive any substantial benefit from the temporary presence of so much gold, as it is nu- derstood, has been placed in various institutions, and thus artificially swells the account, THE FOREIGN MARKET, London advices brought no additional infforma- tion concerning the predicted action of the gov- ernment, and the vank rate is unchanged. The arket is steady, without much activity, Consois were quoted ut 92)5; five-twenty bonds of 1865 (Old) at 91%,, Of 1867 at 947,, ten-forty bonds at 88. mew fives at 89°, Erie at 48 a 48%, and the ne French loan at 6 per cent premium.

The former maintains its speculative position and is evidently the shuttle- cock of the bulls and bears, one of the partiesevi- dently being intent on a game, the result of which will, doubtless, some day cause a surprise. The long-talked-of report was not made public until late in the day—too late to exert a direct influence on the market, at is questionable, however, whether it will prove very cheering in its effect upon anybody. The report leaves the public to draw their own inlerenve, confessing to gross the year ending May 1, to receipts for of $5,785,210, and total expenses for the same period of $4,958,521, leaving a “profit”? of $826,689. Against this exhibit is set the cost of steamers lost during the year, amounting to $1,657,942. ‘The statement of property, however, shows, of real estate, &cC., $2,009,831, and thirty- four steamers, the value of which 1s not given, as 1873, the Company ‘propore to have them appraised as | 2 early as possibl There are, besides these, $312,892, representing ih and investments, coal, outtits And supplies on hand there are, say, $1,500,000, while $ 118 are due in payments of about $200,000 per month on eight new steamers built and in process of building. It will be seen from the foregoing that the picture is not as dark as it mignt be, but neither its lights nor its shadows are eminently satisfactory. The details of the statement will be found in andther column, OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI. ‘The statement made yesterday with reference to the bonds of the Ohio und Mississippi Railroad Company, although based on information delieved to be perfectiy correct at the time, requires some Modification, It appears that just before the de- parture of the President of the company for Europe it was deemed advisable by the Board of Directors to issue, for contingent purposes—chief among which was the re-equipment of the road with stee} rails—a loan of $1,000,000 in the shape of sinking fund bonds of $1,000 each, bearing 7 per cent in- terest from the Ist of May, 1873. Of this amount $400,000 alone has been authorized to be issued, the remaining $600,000 bemg held in abeyance because of the large earnings of the company, ‘These bonds are wncerstood to be in no Way @ tien | upon the road, but follow the preferred stock, being practicaily the “promises to pay” of the com- pany. Jt was ibtedly the appearance of these new bonds on the street which has led to the sud- den movement in Obio and Mississippi. These facts being unknown at the time the information was given, itis but just to the financial public thus to rectify any impression that may have resalted from the former statement, The stock opened to-day at 395, but at the first board it was evident that considerable fever existed among the holders of the stock, and there was a cousequent unloading which not only made the market lively, but carried the price at the close of the day to 3744. ‘The remainder of | THE STOCK MARKET showed an average variation trom extremes of | only about s per cent during the day, except Erie, which went off from 62), to 60%, and Rock Island, which ran a short chromatic scale of fractions be- tween 108% and 109%, growing stronger, however, with each sale. Delaware, Lackawanna and Western sold at 106%; Michigan Central at 100, a99 Nearly ajlof the prices declined tow- ards the close. ca HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES, The folowing table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the day :— Highest, Lovwest.
