FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The Final Adjustment of the New Loan. $46,000,000 Firm, With a Six Months’ Call for the Balance, GOLD, 109 A 109 1-8, Stocks More Active and Higher. WALL Srpger, ‘Turspay, July 23—6 P. M. At last we have learned something definite in Fegard to the supplementary negotiations in the Matter of tue new loan, after the Secretary— eltuer of himself or under the order of higher au- thority—nhad shut out all bids which were not simply firm—that ts, par and interest—without re- strictions or conditions, that there were numerous bids that have not been published, which fully coniormed to the law under which the Secretary's circnlar was issued; the law | of Congress that permitted the payment of 3; of 1 | per cent commission, less the cost of preparing | the bonds for the placing of the new bonds (the | cost, &c., being estimated at \ of 1 per cent thege bids were rejected simply for thia condition. | And now we find the syndicate getting THAT 3; OF 1 PER CENP COMMISSION and these other bidders shut out, although, in a strict interpretation of law, as their bids were un- uccompanied with any such condition as a call, they were entitled mothing in them contrary to law.

The effect here has been a lower gold pre- m@iaum upon the moral intuence of exchanging | $179,000,000 of six per cents for the same amount of | five per cents, which, of course, the gold market, | ‘With its usuai disposition to discount everything, accepts as @ necessary Conclusion of this negotia- | Uon, Tnere is no doubt there couid not be a better | time for this funding operation. {n all the European centres, American cretiit, emerging from the recent panic, never stood bet- | ter in regard to recognized securities, especially governments, and if the syndicate can only jurnish | the means to the Secretary to create calls in ad- vance, 80 as to make a market, there is no doubt | that the whole amount can be placed within the time asked.

Yesterday numerous complaints were received at the Bureau of Encumbrances about obstructions ofthe public streets, Mr. Schaffer, the Superin- tendent of the Bureau, Whose duty it {3 to remove ail these encumbrances, in answer to all these com- plaints, simply referred to the HERALD of yester- day to show why he was unable to perform his duty. Comptroller Green's policy in this matter is utterly inexplicable, [rom any reasonable point ot view. Vor the sake of @ few puitry dollars he allows telegraphic commuication to be interrupted by banners and the streets to be obstructed by carts, Wagons and stands, which ruin the legité- mate business of citizens and taxpayers, And why? As stated above, there is no explanation, eXcept that he wishes to wreak his spite and ill- nature on Mr. Van Nort, whose subordinate Su- perintendent Schauser is. The law explicitly pro- vides that Mr. nh shall advance the money hecessary to pay tor the employment of laborers and tracks at these remov: There 13 DOt @ SLadoW of a donbs on this point.

It is to be hoped that a way will be Jound to compel the Comptroller to do lis duty. The Mayor's Secrecy. One of the most remarkable qualities of His Honor, Mayor Havemeyer, is tis secrecy. He is hot so silent a man as the famed Wiilam of ; Orange. On the contrary, he loves to chat with the reporters and every one who comes in bis way. And yet he knows how to keep a secret iocked seourely iu his capacious busom. The great secret which he is watching over now with the jealousy ofa dragon or a mother-in-law is his reply to Taao- many. Now that the Governor has publicly de- clared that he would not object to the Mayor far- nishing a copy of his reply to the press, it wae thongut that His Honor would graciously deign to’ allow the reporters to secure the gist of that long and elaborate document. With this expectation w representative of the HERALD called upon the ia tand eariy, The reception was en- couraging “Weil, sit,’ said His Honor, briskly. “Mr. Mayor,” said the reporter, “now that the Governor does Not object to the publication of your reply,.wili you ——"" “No, | won't,” the Mayor replied, with the deter- mination tor which he is truly famous, “I hawe made up my mind not to give my reply to the press iibwave received the Governor's jadgment. When tat arrives Lsball turnisn i with the great est pleasure to the HERALD and the other papers. ’* The terrible gat had thus gone Jorth, and i was toy late to ¢ the Mayor's determination.

FOURTH AVENUE DANGERS | The construction of Vanderbilt's Fourth avenue | improvement, above the Grand Central depot, is at present a source of great danger to those com- pelied to cross the avenue, aud the contractor Who haste matter in charge seems to be 80 re: gardless of the rights of the people that not only has all passage ‘or vehicles been practically stopped, but the deep cut or diich is unguarded nO fence is erected, nor is any tight shown ui might to warn pedestrians of danger. The tew lamps that are there are scidom lighted. ‘The rest ents i the neighborhood are loudly compialning that the several bridges across the sunken tracks: in the avenue whici are completed and opened for public travel are noi lighted at night, AN EVERYDAY SCENE ON FIFTH AVENUE, The residents of Fifth avenue and side streets adjoining have of late been bitterly complaining Mm consequence of tne number of petty thetts that are constantly being perpetrated by a certaim sneak thief. Tae way in which he usualiy operates Ss to ring the hall door beil and hand the servant @ note, saying that it is for the gentieman or lady of the house irom some neur relative, and that he will watt for an answer, as it contains matter of vital importance. Yue girl generally runs to deliver the note.
