THE Slight Improvement in the Stock Market. THE WHEAT CROP. WALL STREET, } Wepnespay, June 25—6 P.M. On 'Change to-day cotton was quiet, and while “spot” ruled steady futures were 4c. per pound higher. Flour was in better demand and firmer. ‘Wheat was steady and corn active and firmer, The unusual amount of public payments to be ‘made in behalf of corporations on the Ist and the succeeding days of July by the bankers of New York, to say nothing of the disbursements of the general government, i# well calculated to invite comment, The sum ty*al, if notan exhibit of ex- traordinary prosperity mevertheless shows tne immense power of our home capital in its reach, in ite in®wenee and in the general augmentation of values. The figures tell of growth everywhere; of an increase in population; of towns started and cities enlarged ; of lands enhanced in value, property improving and railroad companies becoming rich from natural causes; of manufacturing interests that have been successful, and @ thousand and one enterprises which have enabled the poor poverty-stricken sons of Adam to save their little per diem, and now call for interest upon over two hundred millions of dollars as the result of their savings in this and our adjoining county of Kings. The payments this year will be larger than ever before. That which the government will disburse is payable mainly to foreign bondholders, and, of course, will go abroad. The sum for European use is estimated at between fifteen and twenty millions of dollars, while that which is due at home on account of railway bonds may be estimated roughly at between forty and fifty millions of doliars. To this is to be added the dividends on the New York city bank capital, Bo that altogether it may be safely estimated that from seventy to eighty millions of dollars will be disbursed in this metropolis alone during the com- Ang month, Sates THE FOREIGN MARKET. g American securities and consols were weaker at the close of the market, according to London aq- vices, than at the opening. The rate of discount on 8-months bills in open market was % per cent below that of the Bank of England. The following were the prices at 5 P. M.:—Consols for money, 9244 8 92%,; for account, 92% a 9214; five-twenty bonds of 1867 at 92408 ten-forty bonds at 88% 889; new fives 89% 880%, and Eric Phares at491{, 494, 495%. The new French loan was quoted at 64%a6% per cent premiam. In Paris the rumor of the resignation of the Miuister of Finance had the effect of flattening rentes, and they closed at 55.80, In Frankfort five-twenties of 1862 are quoted at 9614, THE MONEY MARKET. Money was easy at4a5 per cent on call, with- Out change in the situation previously described. Foreign exchange continues steady, the transac- tions being light. Prime bankers’ 00 day bills com- mand 109% and 110‘ for sight, but actual business was done ata fraction of. The following are the at pfMicial quotations :— Sixty Days.

B56 i THR WHEAT CROP. The following official report of the condition of the wheat crop will be read with interest by those who base their estimates on the agricultural con- ditions of the country :— The Winter wheat is mostly harvested. Of 753 counties from which reports have been received 202 are above the average, 168 average and 381 below. Of 300 counties reporting Spring wheat, 103 are above the average, 115 average and 63 below. ‘The average of Winter wheat is somewhat increased, though many fleids have been Winter killed and ploughed up Tor Spring wheat and other crops, The average of Spring wheat is very largely increased, and especially in the Northwest is unusually promising. The indi- cations of the crop of 1873 are considered at least equal to those of June, 1872, when the department estimated the prospective crop at 220,000,000 bush- els, Subsequent conditions of growth raised the first estimate of the year in the annual report of 1872 (not yet published) to 249,997,020 bushels, With equally favorable conditions the yield may be safely set down at 250,000,000 bushels, Insect ravages, however, are reported in the Spring Wheat, indicating serious loss in some localities, GOVERNMENT BONDS, There is little that is new or changed to report in this department. The prices speak fer them- selves. The supply of bonds is by no means equal to the call, The fluctuations of gold and the ais- turbance of values incidental to the July Payments have had their natural influence, and possibly there has been here and there a shade of depreciation. In the main, however, the prices are strong, as will be seen by the following quotations:—United States currency sixes, 1144 @ 11455; do. sixes, 1881, registered, 116% a 116%; do, do, do., coupon, 12245 a 122%; do. five-twen- ties, registered, May and November, 116 a 116%; do, do., 1862, coupon, do., 11614 a 11614; do. do., 1864, do. do., 116% a 117; do. do., 1865, do. do, 118 a 118%; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 11544 a 115%; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 119% a 120; do. do., 1867, do. do., 120% a 1207% ; do. do., 1868, do. do., 120% 4 120%; do. ten-forties, registered, 112% @ 112%; do. do., coupon, 113% a114; do, fives of 1881, coupon, 114% @ 11434.

THE STOCK MARKET. The stock market to-day made a decidedly better showing than yesterday, the closing prices all showing an advance over those then quoted. The extremes in New York Central were only % per ceut; Western Union opened at 85, sold up to 8514 and down to 847%; Pacific Mail commenced at 37% and strengthened steadily to 38%, selling at last, however, with the 1; off; Lake Shore sold at 9234 a 9244 a 925;, closing at 9234; Union Pacific fluctuated to the extent of about % per cent, going as high as 247% and as low as 24%; O., C. and I. C. was comparatively steady between 27% and 273s. Northwestern common experienced no “fright,’’ as reported typographically yester- day, but simply declined in the ordinary “fight” of the street, To-day it opened at 71, sold at 7014 a 70% @ 70% @ 70%, closing at the latter figu’.»e, Rock Island improved to 109, the lowest “price being 10833, St. Paul sold at 60% a 60% 9 51 9 5134. Harlem was somewhat firmer; Vetaware, Lackawanna and Western the same, me former advancing trom 12544 to 126, and the, Ya¢ter from 97% to 98. Erie was steady at 031¢— @3; Wabash at 67% a67%%. Taken altogeth yp the business was light and insufficient to £'¢e that tone to the market Which is the basis of cajculation for twelve hours in advance, HIGHEST. AND LOWEST PRICES.

This Js the first instalment. It is confidently believed Ahat other and larger amounts will follow. THE UNITED STATES TREASURY, The receipts from customs to-day were $253,000.

SOUTHERN SECURITIES. A despatch from Columbia, S. C., states that a Tumor is afloat that the decision of the Supreme Court in the Morton, Bliss & Co, bond case has been Prepared. It has not been possible to trace the report to any definite source, but it comes through creaitable channels. It is stated that the opinion will order @ mandamus, (he Chier Justice dissent- ing. Associate Justice Willard is said to have fixed the thing up before the suit was brought. The re- port further states that Comptroller General Hoge ‘Will at once give notice of a levy of four mills on the dollar to pay the interest on the five classes of bonds enumerated in the petition of Morton, Bliss & Co., aggregating $3,400,000. The collection of the tax, however, Will Dot be enforced immediately.

WEDNESDAY, June 25—6 P. M. Business continued dull throughout the various departments of trade, though there were some noteworthy exceptions to the rule. Dry goods were still very slow of sale and the market gave out no signs of increased vitality; values were wholly nominal. Hardware w@s still dull, though there was some little improvement in the market Jor some kinds. Cotton was still without note- worthy alteration, At the Produce Exchange the general aspect of things was about the same. Flour was in demand and steady, Wheat was unchanged, though there was quite a disposition to both sell and buy. Prices showed no change, either for lots to arrive or on the spot, ‘The bulk of the receipts nowadays are either de_ livered on contract or go direct to the buyer, con- siderable purchases having been made at the West on foreign account. Corn was fairly active, though nearly all arriving is more or less out of condl- tion. Strictly prime sold to-day, to arrive in July, at full prices quoted below. Oats were still active and prices again advanced. Whiskey was the turn lower. Pork was Jess active, and prices for future were @ shade easier. Lard was also a trifle firmer, though not especially active. Freight room was still very scarce and rates were high, tending to greatly curtail transac- tions in grain, parUcularly as but little of the corn now arriving can bo shipped by sailing vessel. Vessels for charter are correspondingly high and searce. The moves mentin groceries continued slow, but prices remained about the same. Petroleum was ‘quiet, with prices un- changed, There was an active movement in spirits of turpentine, but at lower prices. Rosi was neglected and prices were more or less nominal, Correx.—The market was qulet for all descriptions, but ricess were steady.

Although no important sales were effected yes- terday in city real estate, yet the market seems to be buoyant and holders quite independent as to prices. If this is so now when business is slack, what can be expected in the Fall, when our moneyed men return from abroad and capital is plenty for investments? However, we like to see a healthy toue existing in property, and the absence of foreclosures at this time is indicative of the healthiness of this particular trade, and demon- strates an easy money market, under which in- terests of mortgages and even the principal can be readily met at maturity. The following private sales, effected recently, have been reported at this oitice:— BY WINK, COLF AND GRAY, 14s. bk. building, 1,272 Broadway, and 1 4 8 bk. building, 60 West 33d st. +++ 110,000 145. bk. tenement build ‘000 Farm of 6 acres at Tom'sRiver, N.

Seventy-five thousand tons were offered on the usual terms and conditions.

Bermupa, June 18, 1873, A gad accident occurred on the 15th inst. om board the stranded ship Beaumaris Castle, now om the rocks of the northeast of Bermuda, which re- sulted in the death of Edward Ryan and a narrow escape of four other men employed by the New York Coast Wrecking Company in Bermuda for the purpose of raising the ship from her present pertl- ous position, One of the pumps having become fouled, the deceased and his companions went be- low for the purpose of clearing the strainers, but became overpowered by the gas arising. Ryan fell over into the water in the ship’s hold, Willlau Carroll went promptly to his assistance, but he ikewise was affected by the gaseous matter. ‘Three others of bis associates iollowed, each mec. ing with the same ate ee Captain Brown had a rope placed aronnd his: waist and was lowered to the assistance of the men, and succeeded in saving all but Ryan. Those rescued were in a very exhausted condition, as well as Captain Brown. More serious resuits might have occurred had it not been for prompt medicah aid received from the island, Tue body of Edward. Ryan was buried in the St. George’s burying” ground, and was attended te the grave by a large number of people, Shipment of Harvest Products to New York, ‘The Bermuda Colonist of June 18 reports as fole lows:—*The shipment of the potato, onion and to- mato Scope is now nearly completed, and it is pleasing to add that, all things considered, our planters have had a remunerative season. The rices have kept up well, 1t being oniy within the last 1ortnight that onions became cheap in the New York market, and potatoes yet continue to yield such good returns as to make up in a great degree for the misfortunes of last year.

There were present—Colonel Church presiding, General Sigel, General Shaler, Captain Wingate, John Powell, Jr. Major J. W. Partridge, D. W. Judd. There appeared to ba no particular object in the meeting, except to re< ceive the reports of committees which did not re- port. Their chairmen gave as reasons that they, were not prepared, so soon after the meeting om Saturday last. A letter was received from Cb,arieg. Munier, Secretary of the Anglo-Belgian Prize, Fund, inviting thirty members of the association, -to pro« ceed to Wimbledon at the annual shootivag of the Belgian Garde Civique, which would take place there on July 6, A courteous answer “seclining was moved to be sent on account of t'y¢ lack of time and the youth of the association. A discussion then arose on the question of charg< ing outside organizations or Persons some stated! price for assisting at the 8D outing at Creedmoor. Captain Wingate said the,’ he had heard many regular members say th,r'ir anybody and every- body was to be allowed ¢o go and shoot there, what use was there in beir gq member. This point created great. diss9‘ssfaction. General SIGEL ‘jyought it was all right if, for ine stance, compar jeg and regiments were charged 8a much for the day at Creedmoor, For instance, » regiment Of four hundred men $100, and so in pro« portion. ‘4 would also have the efiect of making them Wh to be members of the association, But the Pere keeping all people but members away Wotid do no good. Some people wanted to see tha ‘place wad practise there a little before joining, while others would never go unless they were shown some courtesy while not being memberse As for regiments carping out there, prices could ba arranged for allowing them to doso. One hun~ dred dollars a day for a regiment would not pay right along, but then the charge could be in+ creased. This matter would only, probably, las! one month of the year. A resolution to this effect was udopted, making the charge lor single persona $1, and for companies 25c. each. General SHALER said he thought the Finance Committee had been very lax in not seeing to the vills and payments sooner than they had, Tha Board ought to know how much each item cost— such as refreshments, &c.~—and not keep the mat- ter stanaing. } “The TREASURER explained that he had been sicky but without having made any exact calculation he; thought about one thousand doiiars remained im the 1reasury at present, General Saacun moved that such bills as had been received be patd, which was agreed to, A dis« cussion then ensued on the building of a fence, the taking away of tree stumps and the building of a fence around Creedmoor, and after this the die rectors adjourned to meet again on July 10, THE STATE TAX QUESTION. ADEAEE ES eee. Conference Between the Board of State Assessors and the Committee on Taxed of the Kings County Supervisors. Yesterday morning a conference took place bew tween the Committee on General Taxes of the Board of Supervisors and Messrs, 8. G. Hadley,/ James A, Briggs and John S. Fowler, of the State Assessors, in the room of the Brooklyn Super« visors. Several city officials were present durin, “the talk,” which was touching the alleged unfair Tate of taxation imposed by the State Assessor@ upon Kings county. The chair was occupied by‘ Supervisor Johnson, who stated that the rate o: taxation upon this county was not m proportion with that levied in the interior counties, He re« viewed the former action of the State As~ sessors in connection with the County Supers visors, and stated that unless there could be equity obtained serious complications and con- fusion would arise, It was, in his opinion, only necessary for the people of the State to thorough! understand this matter, in order to admit the trutl of the claim made by the people of Kings county. The percentage of increase irom 1862 to 1871 in oer estate had been 982-10, while the percentage o: assessment valuation for tax purposes to real value is 56 4-10. City Assessor Furey said that the basis of valua- tion of real estate in Brooklyn was the true value,, as obtained trom the Register’s Oilice, 624 per cent,, and that on that valuation each plot of groun in the city was visited and passed upon eachi year. The value of real estate, he ever had, during the past two years, depreciated, but it had doubled in value since 1861, Supervisor Schenck, of New Lots, stated the valuation of: lots in the county towns, and the method of assess: ing the same. Property in the town he believed. was properly and legally assessed. Corporation Counsel De Witt stated that nineteen-twentieths. of the taxes paid in Kings county were paid by Brooklyn. Supervisor Martense, of Flatbush, was. of the opinion that $1 per acre wasa jair valuation of land in that county town, which was now age sessed at fifty per cent, sometimes higher. Mr. Joshua M. Van Cott spoke upon the subject of the State tax grievance, remarking that “sometht violent would grow out of this unjust assessmen: unless the evil were remedied, to say nothing of the deterioration 0: the credit of the State,’ Messrs. Kinseila, Bishop, Brien, Field, Fitzgerald, Williams and Nolan also urged that the evil be remedied. No final decision was reudered and the meeting adjourned, A DEFENOE OF OAPTAIN JACK—LECTURE BY FATHER BEESON.

The nation ought to be more exact in fulfilling their treaty obligations towards the Indians, Why should they not now guarantee to the Indians the preservation of their customs and independence. In 1869 a treaty was made with Captain Jack and his tribe. Peace Commis- sioner Meacham had said to @ reporter that he would ‘have fought himself like Captain Jack Father than be foreed back on the re- servation, He thought Indians were. not a and ges, but @ devout, hospit reverenti: nd kindly people.
