Ww NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1873.—-QUADRUPLE SHEET. — FINANCIAL AND COMSSROWAL | A WEAK STOCK MAREET. . cl oS SR A General Half Holiday in Values---New Appear- ance of One of the Magnates---Will He Go “Short” or “Long?” and How Long? MONEY EASY—-GOLD STEADY. Foreign Exchange Stronger---Railroad and Government Bonds. A CONFIDENT OUTLOOK. WALL STREET, } Sarurpay, Oct. 25—6 P. M. The street to-day has been full of strange and indescribable influences, There has been nothing of purpose elicited, consequently nothing to call foralarm. Those who, ranging themselves on the “pear” side, have sold “short”? have done so simply in obedience to street rumors, and for the next twenty-four hours they will be nervously uwaiting the acme ol the situation, Those who have patiently awaited the develop- ments of the future are not likely to be dis- appeinted because prices are too low to be natural. The market is abnormally weak, and the “bear? party are poor. The issue at pres- ent is between Vanderbilt and the ‘street’’— the power of supposititions money on the one hand and the power of a multitude on the other, who propose to ‘sell what they do not own,” aud risk their credit against his strength. This is only an- other problem of the street, and it will be decided during the next ten days. THE MONEY MARKET maintained its easy position and rates quoted from 7 per cent to 1-82. Foreign exchanges quiet at 10833 tor prime bankers’ and 108 for sight. GOLD. Gold was not an object of much interest to-day. Prices were simply firm, ranging only from 103), to 108%. The rates paid for carrying to-day were 2, 3,4, 5 and 6 percent, the final rate being 6 per cent. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank to-day were as follows:— Gold balances... Currency balances. 1,316,110 Gross clearings.... + 23,787,000 The steamers sailing for Europe to-day took out $239,726 in silver bars and $12,000 in gold bars. The sum of £295,000 in foreign specie was recetved at the Assay Office late yesterday aiternoon, making ‘the total thus tar received £1,537,000, THE UNITED STATES TREASURY. The Assistant Treasurer paid out $22,000 on ac- count of interest and $47,000 in redemption of five-twenty bonds. The customs receipts amounted to $300,000, The Treasury operations tor the week at the New York office incinde the disbursement of $300,600 gold for interest, $490,000 in redemption of five-twenty bonds, and the receipt of $1,109,900 for customs, $1,120,822 FOREIGN MARKET. Late cable despatches report that the amount of bullion withdrawn from the Bank of England on balance to-day is £20,000, of which £10,000 is for shipment to New York. Seventy-five thousand pounds sterling in foreign specie was shipped from Liverpool for New York by steamer Russia. In Frankfort United States five-twenty bonds rulea at 97% for the issue of 1862.

STATE BONDS. The interest in State bonds is by no means indi. cated by purchases, It nevertheless appears that there are those in the community who have con- siderable faith in the welfare of Southern bonds, albeit that the prices are marked chronically at @ minimum.

Scotland Maid Beats Dixon for Qne Thousand Dollars. —— Two hundred or moré gentlemen assembled at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds yesterday after- noon to witness the decision of a match for $1,000 between R. F. Galloway’s brown stallion Dixon and N. Herring’s bay mare Scotland Maid. The weather was very pleasant and the track in excel- lent condition. This contest among many turfmen had evoked considerable interest, and the charac- ter of the race was such as to puzzle the “shrewd guessers’? as it progressed. With the betting in favor of Scotland Maid the first and second heats, Dixon went off and won them with- outa struggle. Then the driver of the Maid was changed, and though she won the third and fourth heats the stallion had many admirers that ven- tured their money in the pool box, and it was as much as Messrs, Baker aud McGowan could do to accommodate them. The.Maid won the fifth heat and the race amid much applause, THE RACE. First Heat.—They got away in excellent style the firet time they came for the word, Around the turn they were on even terms; but at the quarter pole, in 38 seconds, Dixon had opened a length on the Maid, and, the latter leaving her feet on the backstretch, he had no difficulty in main- taining this advantage to the hali-mile pole, in 1:173,. Around the lower turn the Maid went up to Dixon, and at the three-quarter pole they were head and head, trotting very prettily. Coming nto straight work the Maid again went into the air, and this mishap lost her the heat, as Dixon came away and landed the winner, with ease, by three lengths. Time, 2:3834. Second Heat.—The Maid was stili the favorite, bringing in the pools $26 to $18 for Dixon. An even send-off was etfected the first attempt, but on the turn Dixon graduaily drew away from the Maid, and at the guarter pole, in 38 seconds, he was one length to the front. Down the back- stretch the Maid shut up the gap to half a length, and in this manner they went by the half-mile pole, ip 1:16%. Along the lower turn and to the three- juarter pole they maintained these positions, qring- ing into the homsetretch almost the same instant. It was “anybody's heat’ to the drawgate, when both went into the air, but the Maid first became settled and the cry was heard, “She’s tne winuer,” but it ‘was premature, as she again leit her feet, and, Dixon going about his business, went under the wire winuer of the heat vy jour iengths. Time, 2:38, Heat.—Immediarely after the second heat the betting in the poois became even, but belore the start Dixon had the call, selling for $20 to $18 for the Maid. Israet Denton was put behind the mare. The send-oif was capital at the first at- tempt, but on the turn the stallion went to the front, ami at the quarter pole, in 38 seconds, had halt a length the best of it. The same positions were maintained to the hati-mile Pole in 1:15, and it now became apparent that the Maia Was dving better than in any previous heat. Along the jower turn she went into the air, but soon settled, it afterward being ascertained that she threw a shoe at this point, and at the three-quarter le the stallion showed three lengtus in front, jown the stretch a ana at a clipping pace, ‘and so hard did the Maid push Dixon that he leit his feet at the drawgate, and the matter was settled for this mile, as the Maid came away and won the heac by three lengths amid enthusiastic applause from her many friends. Time, 2:35, vith Heat.—Scotiand Maid again came into favor and sold very spiritediy at the rate of $35 to 16 for Dixon. When Denton was ple the aid and was opposite the judges’ stand, Phillips, the driver of bixon, turned aad looked at her, and, shaking his head exclaimed, “If she goes that clip can’t beather.”” Upon hearing this aa old boy on the stretch yelled out to Phillips, “She begins to scare ye, boy; yur mustache is gettin’ whiter,’ and this sally provoked general laughter. The second time the horses came for the word it was given on even terms. Around the turn Dixon went to the front, and at the quarter pole, in 87 seconds, he was nal’ a length in ad- vance. Down the backstretch the stallion In- creased lead, and at the _ hall-mile pole, in 1:15, was one length to the froni. Along the lower turn they rattled at w clipping pace in these positions, when the Maid leit her ieet, and Dixon immediately followed suit in this uncailed-ior conduct. They soon became settied, When they passed the three-quarter pole ‘with the Maid one length ahead, From this point it was the mare’s heat, as she came along avout her business and landed a winner by four le! So sanguine was Denton that the Maid would win he pulled out his handkerchief on the stretch and Jeisurely wiped his face. Time of the heat, 2:36%. FUtA Heat.—Scotiand Maid was the favorite five toone. The start was fair, and on the turn the Maid went to the front, From this point sne never ‘was heaved, and won tte heat and the race in con- sequence amid enthusiastic applause.

The entries were John F, Chamberlain's bay colt True Blue, by Lexington, dam Balloon, and D, McDaniel & Co.'s chestnnt horse Harry Bassett by Texmgton Gath’ Canary Bird, True Blue had call in betting at two to one the night belore, but yesterday the friends of Harry Bassett came to the pool box and on ae money 2, ty ff i nearly even we vate wagers were made at even dollars, when the horses came on the track the most intense excite- ment prevailed, and they were scanned with eagar eyes by the multitus Both were acknowl- edged to be in the finest possible condition and a t race was looked for. Orders were given to jarbee, the rider of True Blue, to make a walt race of it and not goto the front until he had gone about three miles, We do not know what instruc- ns Mc el gave Jimmy Rowe, but trom the en ni ning the first mile we suppose ne) 6 aby rasvor 122" Te bere fast'one wien’ thd distance sum is taken into consjderation, as they both ran om the extreme outside to avoid the heavy goli towards the inside of the track. Ithas been estl- Mated that the difference between close to the rails on the inside and close to them on the outside makes a difference of ninety yards in each mile, which would be 360 in four miles; but say that the horses ran a turlong further than four miles, tne time would be low in the thirties. True Blue made ear miles, under all these disadvantages, in TAR RACE. First Heat.—The drum was tap) with Bassett two lengths in front, aud he ran the turn with True Blue at his heels. When the horse: panne the quarter pole they were both pull- ing double and running nose and tail, They con- tinued in this way throughout the first mile, which was run in 2:02. Going tuto the second mile they both stuck close to the outside fence, and when at the quarter Barbee pulled True Blue back 60 that an open space of a length was visible between them. This daylight was shut up on the backstretch and they finished the second mile nose and tail ry Bassett leading, The time of the second was 1:503¢. The horses ran as they had been running belore until they reached the quarter pole, when True Biue moved up to Bas- sett’s saddle skirts, and then the battle in earnest, ‘True Blue lay then down the back- Lies las, half way around the lower turn, the pace velng about their best, Approaching: the three- quarter pole True Blue collared Bassett, and, springing to the iront, led into the homestretch, and was four lengtis in advance as he galloped ast the grand stand, amid the huzzas of his ackers and admirers, The tact was plain that True Blue was the victor, Harry Bassett was laborin; eta | a beaten horse, losing und at. every jump; his stride shortened and he vecame an object of pity. True Blue whipped him, as Monarchist had done, by running him down. The third mile was run in 1:00%, which was very fast on the outside of the track. True Blue then galloped on through the fourth mile ana won by nearly a furlong, certainly 200 yards, the last mile being run in 1:56%. The enthusiasm of. the crowd was intense, the ladies waved their handkerchiefs and the men threw up their hats in. delight when True Biue was brought to the stand for Barbee to disinount. to be weighed. They gathered around the horse to see how he looNed after his journey, and they found him as tresh as many good horses are alter ruaning a mile dash, This great horse leaves on Monday next in a Palace car for California, to run for the $20,000 (im gold) purse witich comes off on the 15th of November at San Francisco. Should True Blue reach the land of gold without mishaps depend on it the horse that beats him will nobly win the race.
