FINANCIAL AND COMMERCLL, THE SITUATION IN VIENNA. Austrian Bankers Said To Be in a Critical Condition, GOLD DOWN TO 115 3-4. THE STREET IN A QUANDARY. MONEY EASY. A Dull Day in the Stock Market. Speculation’ Limited, with Gener- ally Steady Prices. WALL STREET, Monpay, June 16—6 P, M. THE FOREIGN MARKET. According to London advices, the tone of the foreign market continues steady, the Bank of Eng- land to-day gaining £212,000 of bullion, At four o’clock P.M, consols were quoted at 92%¢ a 92% for money and 92% a 92% for the account. United States bonds of the issue of 1867 sold at 92% a 923g; ten-forties at 8945; new fives at 895% Z @ 89%, and Erie at 50% &@ 50%. Dis- counts were reported easier, The new French loan was steady ut 6261s. In Paris rentes . were quoted at 56f. 5c., ex interest, and at Frank- fort United States bonds of 1882 were sold at 95%. The closing prices were unchanged, except in Erie, which went off 44 percent. While there isa gene= Tal belief that there willseon be a further reduc- tion in the rate of discount of the Bank of Eng- land, the fact is not to be lost sight of that a. that institution is at any moment liable to be entangled in the complications which may result from the yet unsettled accounts of the Vienna Bourse. A writer in the London Times regards the situation as one of great gravity, because, instead of gaining, the pa- tient has been losing strength every day, and has fallen into a state of listlessness which is more alarming than the crisis. The price of almost all stocks has gone steadily down in Vienna—far lower . than it was during the crisis itseli—and the last advices from London, published in this column, showed how the reflex action had reached the English Exchange, and was exhibited in the marked decline of nearly every Continental secur- ity. Atthis rate, the writer predicts that “all, even the strongest, must suffer. The Austrian banks have large deposits on which the debtors have not been able to pay up the differ- ence which exists between their present and . former market value, and it is almost a duty of self-preservation for these bankers to use every Opportunity to sell these deposits before they are still further depreciated; but how is confidence to arise in those who have money to invest or are in- clined to speculate if they see the banks doing nothing bat sell? Even the bravest must become discouraged, and is not any bank more of a loser than a gainer at each sale? Even the most mode- rate offer of the best shares drives their price down in the market, so that all other deposits in the possession of all the banks become depreciated by millions.” It is possible that in time, with the co-operation of the Austrian government, the dimiculty may be bridged over; but if the banks are at present the holders of a great volume of de- Preciated securities, there having been no healthy reaction since the panic, then we may look fora sudden springing of the financial mine, and an ex- Plosion even worse in its consequences than the rst. GOLD—116%% A 116: * As was remarked by a blue-looking broker to-day, “Gold seems to have the galloping consumption.” At any rate, whatever be its disease, the doctors of the street have failed to diagnose the malady, and are as much puzzled to-day, with the pulse beating feverishly at 11634, as when it was going at the rate of 11814. @ne will tell you that the clique have become frightened and are selling out, even though it may entuil a loss upon them of half a mil- ’ lion of dollars. Another shrewdly surmises that the present is only an additional act in the play of the chief operators, the recent return of one of whom has ended the waiting proeess and get the ball in motion. A third, with equal plausi- bility asserts that, the decline has been forced by the ring for the sole purpose of buying at the low- est rates the gold that is to be offered this week by the Secretary of the Treasury. It is useless, how- ever, to attempt a correct solution of the problem, for the secret is safely locked in the busy brains that concocted the plan. The fluctuation in the . price of gold to-day is shown by the following ‘The rates pala for carrying were 2, 1, 3, 4, and 3 Per cent and flat for borrowing. The transactions of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:— Gold balances... $5,744,6: Currency balances 6,741 Gross clearances. 115,115,600 79 THE UNITED STATES TREASURY. ‘The following were the balances 1n the Treasury at Washington at the close of business to-day :— $7,699,328 Currency teeeeeee Special deposit of legal tenders ior Te. demption of certificates of deposit. —Including coin certiticates.: Outstanding legal tenders. The internal revenue receipts to-day were $527,219. The receipts from Customs amounted to $313,000, ‘The Assistant Treasurer to-day paid out $50,000 on account of interest, and $309,000 in re- 4 demption of five-twenty bonds, THE MONEY MARKET, Money is plentiful, with more offering than is needed. Call loans are 3 and 4 per cent, and prime 60 to 90 day mercantile paper at 64; and 7 per cent, the latter being the favorite with the banks and capitalists who propose to keep on the safer side in the event of the occurrence of the much-talked of Autumn stringency, The fact that the latter has been so much anticipated and discussed, how- ever, is one of the reasons ‘why it is not likely to occur, since every principal dealer is already con- servative in his arrangements for the future, and has trimmed his sails to meet any wind that blows: Exchange was dull, and on 60 day bilis firmer and 34 per cent higher on the basis of 1094, a 100%, sight being 1103; a 110%. The prices otherwise are the @ame as when last quoted. RAILROAD BONDS. ‘ Notwithstanding a dull market, prices generally remained unchanged.

THE STOCK MARKET. But for the speculative paroxyms of Western Union, Lake Shore and Pacific Mail to-day the Stock Exchange might have closed its doors and its members could have gone a-fishing. The former retains its place as the leader of the list, and so far withstands the efforts made to shake its steadi- ness. The price opened at 86%, strengthened gradually until 8634 was reached, and then receded to 86, its closing price.

There was a somewhat freer movement in some branches of trade to-day, but as a general rule the merchandise markets were dull, while values were irregular. The chief mterest at the Produce Ex- change centred in the wheat market, which ruled firmer, under a better export demand, the private cables being of a rather more favorable character, Considerable purchases were made on freight ac- count, both for immediate delivery and to arrive next month, and generally at prices rather more favorable to sellers than could Nave been realized at the close of last week. Corn was very dull and almost unsalable save at a material concession. Oats were likewise dull, but values were steady. There was a total absence of life in the provisions market, and as arule prices were nominal. Lard was quiet, whiskey was steady, freights were firmer. Correx.—We note sales ot 6,100 bags Rio, ex A.

A MAINE MURDER TRIAL. cinta Further Particulars About Wagner's Cane. ALFRED, Me., June 16, 1873, The Wagner trial was continued this morning, A large number of spectators was in attendance. Wagner's direct examination was proceeded with. He explained the manuer in which he got the cop- per pennies found in his pocket, some he got at the baker's, at Portsmouth, some at the depot and some in Boston, He said:—I saw no buttons in the money the time it was taken from me. The saloon where I got my beer, after baiting trawis, was on Congress street, two hundred yards from the Post OMce. I begged the oMcers to let me go aud show them the peopie and the Jace, but they would not do it. I don't now the name of the person who kept the saloon. 1 don’t know the name of the schooner or its master on which I baited trawls that night, tt was lying between Pier wharf and the wharves down the river, One of the fishermen paid me, and when he paid me he stood on the wharf. 1 bought the rubber boots last Winter at Portsmouth; tue size is cleven; there were 200 there of the same size, and I informed the officers in Boston where my old clothes were. The witness then was briefly cross-examined. ort other statements he testifle don’t | think | ever saw the man who paid me jor baiting the trawis. He paid me in advauce, None of my shirts were made to order. I bought two of them in Boston and two of them in Prussia, They were not alike in size on the wristband. I never complained of poverty. 1 had enough to pay board, and I kept some money to buy clothes. I owe about ten dollars to Mrs. Jotinson. The reason llaid down on the lounge Was because | felt sickly and was afraid I wouid have to heave up, another reason was because | was cold aud we there to see if it was nol warm. Wagner bore ns examination well, not contradicting any of his for- mer statements, and appearing at ease, Henry Hunneveldt testified to being a shipmate of Wagner; to his (Wagner's) blistering his hands three Weeks DrGr to the murder, and to hearing Wagner ask Burk, the master of the vessel, tor a necdie, Asa L.

After recess idwin Burk testified to londing Wag- ner a needle three weeks betore the murder, but could not say that Wagner used it on his blisters. Stephen A.

The regular weekly meeting of the Brooklyn Board of Aldermen was held yesterday afternoon, President John M. Clancy tn the ehair. The following communication touching the issu. ing of Bridge bonds was submitted from the Comp. trolier and read :— Comrrrouuen’s Orrick, Brooxtyy, June 16, 1873. To mx HoNonance tie Comwox Covxcr, TLEMEN—Your honorable body adopted on the 26th of May, 1813 the following. viz Resolved, That the Comptroller be and_ he is hereby im structed notto issue any more bonds to the New York Bridge Company until afl other subseribers have paid in ‘an equal percentum with the city of Brooklyn on their several subscriptions according to law. The means in the treasury of the company have been exhansted, and a call for ten percent hasbeen made on the subscribers. Que of the stockholders, holding a small amount of stock, who is in arrears, is absent in Europe and cannot be reached. Others will not pay un- tess they can be competied to do 0 by law. Compllance with this resolution will therefore put a stop to work on the bridge. A majority of the private stockholders wilk no doybt pay up at once. The conditions on which the city sbbseribed have been fulfilled. Two. millions of dollars have been subscribed by other parties and te AIL instaiments or pa lars payable bj ani by all any have day or ny Fachen agi guinst the delinquent stockholders. I be= ve itis the bona fide intention of the directors to e force payment frou all ulike. Td lution to make Bagh: at the last ¢, 1873, directed the Executive Committee to el Dayinent of instalinents overdue, if necessary by tng, held on oi 5 able body intended by you tmuance of the work {mporsiblon and I believe that the financial officers of tne city of New York and those of thiv city should be permitted ta act in this matter, and E Would propose that they should wet in entire harmony ag fo the payment ‘of future instalments on the part either i, thi Tore, recommend thatthe above resolution he rescinded, and that the matter be left in the hauds of the: finantial diiicers of the city, Very respectfully, P. A SCHROEDER, Comptroller. Alderman Rores moved to rescind the resolw tion, and added that he rejoiced in the opportanity of doing so, for the reason that he believed th crisis had been reached and the construction of the bridge would now be carried forward, and that those who have been hurling their calumny at those inside are likely to lose their capital. Alaerman Wyrm asked if the issuing of more bonds for this purpose was not contrary to law. ‘The resolution which they were asked to rescind did not require him todo anything more than to carry out the law, and he would like to know if it was the intention of the Board to give hint the power of issuing more bonds, He did not think this was the proper course to pursue, nor did he think the management of the directors of the Bridge Company were right. ‘These men had asked when they found there was nothing more to be made out of it to be relieved of their stock at seven per cent, but the people of the city nad become aroused at the rate of taxation. Five per cent, they say, is to be the ‘rate of taxation this year. Alderman Ricrarpson—Who says? Alderman Wy1 fiverybody says. Time wilh soon develop the fact. Lhope the resolution will not be seconded, and that no more money wil he subscribed by the city until the directors abandon the work. ‘hen let the city ‘take it up and goon with'it. Alderman Rorrs—The gentleman from the Seventh (Wylie) plays his part well. Alderman WYLIE—I rise to a point of order. Onaik—State your point of order. Alderman WyLik—The gentleman from the Third (Ropes) has no right to impugn my motives, Cuark—Your point of order is not well taken, Alderman WyLiz—Well, go on with your bridge management, then. ‘Alderman hores—The Alderman of the Seventh (Wylie) predicted that the rate of taxation im Brooklyn would be five per cent. He predicted that the rate of taxation would be no higher this year than it was last. With regard to the bridge he would say that he had-a conversation with the Comptroller in reierence to the busir ness transacted at the last meeting of the Board of Directors, The directors had passed resolutions to sue the delinquent stock- holders who refused to pay their instalments. The Comptroller proposed to actin conformity to the subscriptions of the New York Bridge Goan RAT and nothing more. Hé believed that those who nad been arguing againet the bridge had been doing 80 for the purpose of stopping the work. But another instalment had been calied for, and those who had paid in eighty en cent will have to bog! ten per cent more, and those who have paid in sixty per cent will have to pay in thirty per cent more, or ~_ a judgment taken agalnst the stock which now hold. There were as good men in the rite ‘@ Management us there were out of it. He hoped the resoiution would be rescinded, Aldermen TayLor, RopMaN and RICHARDSON also spoke in favor of the motion to rescind, One ef the speakers intimated that Alderman Wylie was prompted by some outside party. The Alderman of the Seventh said that no one was behind himin this matter, nor had he con- sulted with either of the ring: He had heard hig name coupled with that of Mr. Barnes, but he would say that his acquaintance with Mr. Barnes was very limited. For his part they might go on eulo- gising tne bridge management, but, for his part, he stood there for the people, ignoring ali promises, Alter some further debate Alderman Wy. offered the following resolution as an amendment to the motion of Alderman Ropes :— Resolved, That the Comptroller be and he is hereby tne structed to issue bonds to the New York Bridge Company in compliance with the law only. Alderman Ricuarpson moved the previous queg- ‘ion. Alderman Wy.re—What ts the previous ques- tion? ‘The Chair hesitated, Alderman Wx T should like to know what the. Previous question is. ae ‘he previous question is the main ques- sabiermaa Wy.ie—Well, what is the main quea- tion ? Ciatr—I should think the gentleman from the enth (Wylie) ought to know when he has been alking on it for the last hal! an hour, The previous question, which was the rescinding of the former resolution, was put and carried, Alderman WyLie—Well, what becomes of my resolution? Hand it back and | will offer it in the regular order. CHAIR—Oh, no; that is now a part of the minutes, Alderman Wylie immediately dropped into his seut, seized his pen and prepared another, as near like the first.as he could remember, ‘This he sub- sequently re but it was voted down, A CORNER- STONE LAYING. The New Uifice of the Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal Church, Brooke lyn—An Interesting Ceremony. The interesting services of the laying of the corner stone of @ new ediffce for the convenience of the congregation of the Hanson place Methodist Episcopal church of Brooklyn took place yesterday afternoon, The space surrounding the new building was at an early hour filled with an immense throng of fashionable people, the majority of whom were ladies, who protected themselves from the broiling sun by the friendly shade of their spreading, cheerful-lued parasols. No more pleasant weather could have accompanied the event than that of yesterday afternoon, the genial sky and the cooling breath of the breezes walted from the south. The green foliage of the trees which border Brooklyn's fairest streets were resonant with the joyous songs of the Summer birds, who sung in harmony with the simple hymins that attended the impressive and béautiful ceremonies. The Hanson place Methodist Episcopal chureh has for a few years been one of the prominent re+ ligious societies of Brooklyn. A little more thana year ago the Rev. fmory J. Haynes was given the charge of the congregation, and since that time it has increased rapidiy in numbers, unul the preeincts of its tempie of worship have found to be uncomfortably small for its usage. ‘The trustees resolved to build a more spacious and more elegant edifice and a few months since the work Was begun in earnest. The former church, now torn down to make room for the new one, Was erected in the year 1857, and when the corner stone was laid with the ordinar, ceremontes it contained a leaden box with the fol- lowing articies:— The Bible, ahymn_ boo!
