THE MONEY MARKET. Money was easy during the day at 3 and 4 per cent on call, with a lower rate atthe close. In foreign exchange sight bills were advanced to 71044, with light business at 1104 net. For prime bankers’ sixty days’ sterling the price was 109% a B 109%. THE FOREIGN MARKET, London advices present no new features. The market quotations are as follows:—Consols for money, 92; consols for the account, 92 five- twenty bonds of 1865, old, 93}; a 93%; five-twenty bonds of 1867, 95) 4934; ten-forty bonds, 904 a 90% ; new fives, 80%; Erie Railway shares, 455; a 45%; Illinois Central Railway shares, 82; new French loan, 6% per cent premium. Consols and AmMerican securities dull. The price of Erie abroad was nO criterion of the active | market in the stock on this side. fp fact, the price showed the weakness reported for the past three or four days, and if it advances it wil be entirely due to the speculative influences now at work here. It is understood that large shipments of stock were made to-day on the strength of reports from america.

The great feature of thé market to-day was the sharp and active speculation in Erie, It developed early, moved rapidly, became a “squeeze” by noon, and at the close of the day had risen almost to the dignity of a “corner.” Rumor assigned various causes for the sudden movement, and some of them were well calculated to create the moderate scare that ensued among the short interest. First, the whole German element were reported as combined against a well known leading operator in the stock, with a de- termination that he should receive such @ punish- ment as would compensate for his former con- quests. Again, it was said that a venerable Meth- odist gentleman had put in @ reappearance and was quietly buying all the stock offered, to the end that he, too, might enjoy revenge. Finally, it was. asserted that THE GERMAN BANKERS had been loaning flat fora few months past, and, having tested the strength of the shorts, three or four of them had combined to force up the price, call in the loans and compel.a payment of from 33 to 1 per cent per day for the use of the stock. Tne latter view would seem to be verified by the difference between ‘‘cash” and “regular” sales, which commanded from }4 tol per cent, with an active demand. The absolute facts of the day are stated to be as follows:—There has been more or less of sort INTEREST existing in Erie for along time. The actual number of shares in the country does not exceed 150,000, Of these probably 50,000 are held outside of the city of New York. Of the remaining hundred it is be- lieved that about 60,000 are controlled by the Ger- man bankers, the rest being scattered. The short interest amounted to about 25,000 before this movement commenced. Under these circum- stances the stronger power, fortified by foreign influences, began their charge. THE SKIRMISH OPENED before the call at the modest figures of 58%, which gradually advanced, touched 60, began to excite attention, moved on stifly through all its fractions to 61, Then came the line of battle and the fight, For a time there was fluctuation; but after twelve o'clock the “bulls”? moved steadily on to 63, 64 and finally to 653s. At the very last they camped on the field of battle, throwing out as pickets the figures of 65 and 644, It is significant of the affray, however, that as late as hall-past two o'clock Erie was offered at 59, seller 15, with no takers, and at eller 60, with a similar result. It is also significant that one of THE VICE PRESIDENTS OF ERIE is reported to have sold largely of the Canadian stock sent here to be voted upon by proxy. The contest will be renewed Monday morning. It is expected to be short and decisive. This remains to be seen. Somebody will be disappointed. On the one hand the German bankers are tenacious, On the other hand the receipt of a large amount of stock that has been telegraphed for, together with the anticipated arrival ef upwards of 25,000 shares by European steamers, will tend to afford relief and perhaps prevent the culmination of the fall designs of the German bankers and a great corner such as bas marked some other years, THE SALES GF ERIE. to-day amounted to 2,800; of Western Union, 18,500; Toledo and Wabash, 15,100; Lake Shore, 10,220; 400; Rock Island, 4,500; C., ©, and , 35; New York Central, 5,800; Ohio and Missis- sippl, 3,000; Pacific Mail, 7,000, and Union Pacific, 8,714 The aggregate of all the stock sold was 119,087, The above figures will indicate the meas- Northwestern, lL ure of activity in the various principal stocks, NORTHWESTERN earnings during the last week show an increase of $48,000, and for the past six weeks an increase of about $300,000, This favorable report stimulated the movement upward of the stock to-day to the extent of J percent. Wabash opened at 71% and closed at 72%. Pacific Mail advanced from 37% to 38%, C., C. and L ©. trom 32% to 334, Harlem from 129 to 129%, Rock Island from 111% to 111%, Ohios from 405 to 413s, Northwest preferred from 334 to 83%, and Atlantic and Pacific preferred from 26% to 264%.

Matters for @ time ran on smoothly, but the above-mentioned steamship company, forming in their own estimation a higher power than the United States government, thought fit to ignore the marks and numbers on packages and cases, duplicates of which were deposited with the Cus- tom House authorities, and substitute their own. The natural consequence of all this was that the government officers at the place of consignment were completely puzzled as the proper owner- ship of the goods, and in many instances unable to make the slightest comparisons with the marks and numbers as transmitted by the shipper and the Custom House. Proper representations of this subject made by the Collectors of New York and San Francisco to the Secretary of the Treasury, elicited txe following emphatic instructions, whicn will be strictly carned out:— Treasury Derantunnt, Wasminaton, July 10, 1873. Sr—Your communication of tye 26th uifmo ceived, reporting on the letter of the Collector ai Francisco, relative to the practice at your port on the shipment of merchandise by steamers Via the Isthmus of Panama to San Francisco, which, he alleges, is traught with danger to the revenue and prevents the identity of the goods from bemg established upon their arrival at his ort. ‘ It appears that the Reamstip company owning the ves- sels by which the merchandise is shipped act a3 the assignors of the goods; that in the through maniiests which are presented at your of- tice before the clearance of the vessel, the said company give the numbers ot the packages (without designating broperly their contents and values), with certain marks of their own, but without giving the numbers and marks which were placed on the packages by tue actual ship- pers, and which are uesignated in the involces made out and furnished by the latter, under Department's instruc- uons of November 8, 1869, and that by reason ot this action great the goods at San Francisco in identifying and opportunity for fraud is afforded duri of the goods acrors the Isthmus, &c. ‘The Collector at San Francisco, to obviate the dtfcul- ties existing under the present practice, suggests that the through manifests presented and certitied at your office should, in addition to the company’s marks and numbers of such separate consignments or invoice of goods, con- tain a column giving the markson the packages which were plased on them by the actual consignor and which are svecitied in the invoice in the manner indicated in the formherewith enclosed, which the Collector states Is a transcript from the freight list of one of the steamers ot said company. : ‘The Collector states that if this suggestion is carried out most, it not all, of the dificulties now experienced will be done away with, and (ht the imterests of the reve- Rue will be secured agdinst frau ‘The Departinent, upon consideration, adopts such sug- gestion, and you ate theretore instructed to require the said steamship company to hereafter prepare their mani- festain accordance with the said form, and so long as they act as the shippers of the goods to ‘present the in- voices as prescribed in Department’s mstructions of the Sth of November, 1869. above mentioned. A copy of this letter will be sent to the Collector at San Francisco, with instruction that avy goods urrivin by sald steamers not so manifested, will be held unt he can otherwise satisty himsclf that the goods arriving there are those embraced in the manifest as shipp. trom your port. You will piease notity said company accordingly. I am, very respectfu M.A. RICHARDSON, Secretary. Collector of Customs, New York.
