FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SITUATION ABROAD. THE Fresh Failures at Home---Are the Commercial Community Likely To Be Affected? TE MONEY MARKET STROEGER, | * pina AGEs Fresh Designs Contemplated in Telegraphic Circ’es. —_- GOLD ) STE PF Stocks Lower and Feverish—A Downward Tendency. No Change in the English Bank Rate. WALL STREET, ‘THURSDAY, Oct. 80—6 P. M. Neither abroad nor at home 1s the financial con- ition one which just now warrants favorable comment. As a nation we shall win in the long Tun, because solid facts are all in our favor. We Mave not lost anything. We are so strong as to be ‘able to afford contraction without permanent weak- ness. Our real substance—our crops, Our manu- factures, our productive power—although mate- ritaily affected by our present monetary condition, possesses strong reactionary energy, which, at the proper time, Will make itself influential, We are for the hour, however, suffering from speculative d@epression—that sort of speculation which applies to intangible and imaginary values, to which it is impossible to attach specific price, As a conse- quence the market is upset by any rumor that may obtain; operators are misled in judgment, and Joss or gain becomes a mere matter of guesswork. ‘We concede that from THE PRESENT OUTLOOK ‘there is much of gloominess. Europe is disturbed and @ thousand miltions of American dollars are hang- img in the balance, We cannot count upon twenty- four hours of peace, Financial entanglements are impending. Banking establishments strongly iden- tified with our securities have already gone down and irom this distant point of view it is impossible to measure the struggles that are being made, not alone for the purpose of sustaining American eredit, but that which, from a foreign standpoint, constitutes the soul and essence of financial power, general credit. More serious complications than those already reported, therefore, may occur, and im the reflex action from across the water we may discover much danger. Our home matters are likewise significant. Fresh complications crop- png are out in commercial circles. The failure of Hoyt & Sprague, a great dry foods house, said to be connected with that of A. & W. Sprague, of Rhode Island, was an- pounced to-day, This means that the sharp Jeelers @! the recent crisis are extenaing their search beyond Wall street; reaching into anew element; eurring up new powers and possibly creating fresh Snancial problems with which the country will Dave to deal. ANOTHER PEATURE, Itis reported that on account of the decline in | ‘Western Union Telegraph stock, a new combina- | 3 tion has been formea, consisting of all the antag- onistic telegraph companies, in order to take ad- ‘Vantage of the situation. Practically, these alreac Possess the same power and ability as the corpora 13 tion named, and could with a certain arrangement | | = ©f muinal strength produce the same given re- ®uits. It has also been demonstrated that patches can be sent throughout the country | % do. almost as cheaply as private letters, and | ju Ao Han a i fo ai that it is only necessary to elect such | 30 ® union as that to which allusion | 200 Brie & has been made in order to secure this object. | i Fen Rit, Some of the wealthiest and most enterprising men | 500 @f Amcrica are interested in the proje alleged that it will not be many months before the | entire country will be bridled with @ new system f telegraphy and new connections be established | # with Europe. It1s doubtless the promulgation of | this Idea, and the knowledge that certain business | Wen are working on the development of the plan, | which makes Western Union stock at the present @me cheap among the fancy footbalis of the street. THE MONEY MARKET. The large failure of to-day produced an uncer- fain feeling in ali commercial circics, and en- hanced doubt. Hence we quote some changes in She money and other departments. ‘The rate Fanged from 7 per cent, currency and gold, to 4 Der cent on cali loans, with closing business at i &%. Discounts were effected at 18, 2% and 36 per Cent, gold paper at 12 per cent. Foreign exchange closed weak, with prime bankers’ 60 days’ ster- Ning, at 106 a 106%, and sight at 108 a 1083;.

Western Quion likewise suffered from reports con- cerning the combimation of various telegraph in- terests looking to a strong opposition, and the es- tablishment of a consolidated line to connect all parts of America with Europe. The gen- eral decline of prices amounted to from 3 to 3% per cent, on which there was a shght recovery, at- tended with irregular prices towards the close. Western Union advanced from 5214 to 62%, de- | clined to 49, recovered to 503,, and finally reacted to 50, Lake Shore sold at 69a 60 a 624 a 61%; New York Central at 8575 a 83 a 84 a 8374; Pactfle Mall at 30a 263; 22928283; St. Paul at 2a 243¢ 2 254y @ 239%,; Northwestern at 35a 33 a 33%, and preferred at 6044 a 55, HIGHEST AND LOWEST, The following table shows the opening, highest and lowest prices of the day :— Coen atigne est. cana N.

WEST, OP DOVER, DEL It will be remembered that the HERALD published very full reports of the trial last spring at Dover, Del, of Dr. West for the murder of his negro servant, “Coon” Turner, whose body was found skinned and mutilated, The Doctor was acquitted, but, according to the Baltimore Sun of Tuursday, he is to serve two years for arson, on a plea of guilty :— It seems that Dr. West, of Dover, Del., who was ih Mgt pes the murder ‘ns indst cartons nan Turner, and acquitted, pleaded guilty % the crime of ‘attempted arson, ne What It Costs to Govern New York City. RBUDGET FOR 1874. ‘Provision to Pay the Current Expenses of the. Board of Health, Park Commission, Police. Department, Fire Department, De partmont of Public Works, &. Under the laws passed by the Legislatare, pro viding that the Board of Estimate and Apportion- ment shall pass upon and fix the expenditures for the city government during the coming year be- fore the frst day of November, this body convened yesterday in the office of the Comptroller to take action upon this matter. Mayor Havemeyer, as President, presided, and besides the members of the Board—Messrs. Vance, Wheeler and the Comp- troller—the various heads of the departments: were present, to wit, President Henry Smith, of. the police; Dr. Chandler, President of the Board: of Health; Mr, Roswell D. Hatch, of the Fire De- partment; George M. Van Nort, Commissioner of Public Works; William Laimbeer, President of the: Commissioners of Charities and Correction, and Salem H. Wales, President of the Park Commission. The minutes of the previous meeting were read. and approved. Mr. Wales reported that owing to unforeseen: circumstances the estimates of bis commission for the coming year are heavier than they were during the same period of last year. One item alone, the repairs on the bridge over the Harlem River at.. Third avenue, Will cost $18,000, The engimeer re- ported verbally yesterday morning that the iron pillars are cracking, whici to replace | will cost $10.000, while the granite work is crumbling away and requires new blocks. REQUIREMENTS OF THE HEALTH BOARD, Dr. Chandler stated that the appropriation asked ; for by his department amounted to $242,000, which. was $20,000 less than the previous year’s amount allowed. In this is included $10,000 for printing, which, however, he was informed must be done by order and supervision of the Board of Audit, He would, nowever, like his Board to have the disposal of this item, as their records are to be preserved for hundreds of years to come, and un!ess. they could control the matter interior material would be furnished. The Board of Health have carefully revised every item 10 thelr account and observed the utmost economy in reducing the figures as low as consistent with propriety to maintain efficiency in their department. The salaries have been fixed at a graduating scale. ‘They have not asked for more money for ‘diuntect: ants, in case of an appearing epidemic, than usual;. at the same time the greatest precautions will be used. In the event of an unlooked tor sickness, as cholera or yellow fever, such as is now raging in the southern country, he left it to the good sense of the authorities to meet the additional require- - ments, TO MAINTAIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT Commissioner Smith required for the year 1874 $4,502,777 08, against $4,101,152 23 last year. The Mayor laughingly remarked that when he was Mayor before it only cost $400,000 to run oe (pete force. President Smiph replied, “Ob, that was many years ago. We have at present ito men on our force, which the Legislature provided us with, against 2,100 when the last appropriation. was made. Besides, we have a paciency, of 3 403, which amount was taken from ‘us by this: oard, We have carefully gone over the: figures, and reduced salaries to the lowest sum, - and made every possible reduction im; neti. An addilional heavy expenditure ig the the carting of the street manure has to be done which involves an expenditure of $30,000," Mayor asked the Comptroller how much the as year’s taxes would be under an economical collec: - tion, No answer, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXPENSES for the coming year, as per statement of Commis. - sioner Hatch, was stated to be $1,465,011, against $1,464,950 for 1873, Mr. Hatch informed the Board that his department intended to purchase new material and provide new appliances, among which 1s an iron steamboat provided with a pameninl fire. apparatus, capable of throwing water equal to ten engines, Loatis to be built of iron, and to be devoted entirely to extinguishin, fires’ occurring among shipping. Stationed at the Battery, this foat- ing fire engine wiil be connected by telegraph with the Central Office, and ready for use on both rivers... The cost is $30,000. Another increase in the appro- priation asked for arises irom the purchase of irs. Scott-Uda’s patent aerial ladders, which will. vastly facilitate the department in raising erase on the ladders, in the event of a high buiding being . on fire. The Legislature having increased the sal- ary of the fromen from to $1,200 per annum, causes likewise @ larger appropriation to be ex-~- tended. ie THE PUBLIC WOR to the Mpibount' of $1,545, for Jona ae $1,449,500 for the previous Ser, Was made by Com- missioner George M. Van Nort. This gentleman Stated that the expenditure for iamaps. a1 and gas alone for the coming year, at the lowest estimate, would amount to $809,000, and then would scarcely Teach until the end ofthe year. He would be cone pelled to ask for an additional appropriation on the 10th of December to meet the drafts on his depart- ment this year. His orders from the Common Council to place lamps up town thus iar exceeded the appropriation he now requests. The amount necessary to run the Board of : epee c uae AND ioe reaebe for the coming year 750, against Mr. Laimbeer, the President. represented his Board. He was very bitter against the Free Labor Bureau, and, when asked why it was not abolished, stated that his colleagues were opposed to it, Mr. Vance thereupon remarked, “Then it ought to be “snuffed out,’ and the best thing we can do is to withhold the appropriation therefor, when it must necessarily die out. Mr. Laimbeer ‘also satd that the schoolsnip Mercury will cost this year $60,000, $30,000 of which 18 on account of repairs, There are 200 bore on that vessel, whose training costa the city about $270 per capita. Mr. Laimbeer, in order to demonstrate the economy practised in his department, asserted that “il they find any of their employés who squandered $200 on Nquor and cigars or luxuries of life, they reduce his salary that much, MISCELLANEOUS, Neither the Board of Kducation nor the Counsel to the Corporation was represented, but the estimates of both depart are in the hands of the Comp- trolier. ie Board of Estimate and Apportion- ment were 1n session at @ late hour last evening, busily engaged in wading throngh the great masg of figures, but had not completed their labora to allow them to publish the totals. BOARD OF ALDERMEN, Aspecial meeting was called yesterday, signed by the requisite number of members, to assemble at half-past three o'clock. When that hour arrived no quorum was present, but the President did not adjourn the Board, as is usualin such cases, Mes sengers were sent in every direction to look up tne recalcitrant members, Dut half-past four awe and still there was no quorum. The meetin, calied to take action on @ message of the ayor recommending a reconsideration oi the vote taken. on the 28th tnst., loaning the credit of the city to the “Industrial Exposition Company” to the amount of $2,600,000, At ten minutes to five—thero still being no quorum present—the Clerk declared. the Board adjourned, It must, however, be stated that of the following members of the Board bold Z.:—Aldermen Vance, Billings, Morris, Coope: Clausen, Ottendorier and Falconer—lonr are said to have been ready to 1a0ve & reconsideration of the vote by which General Order No. 227), was passed.
