The foreign ex- | hange market is firm, prime nominal rates being | 486 and 490%, with sixty day bills selling at 455% & 455%, and sight at 4803 a 490, Con- tinental is firm; we quote retcnmarks at 95% a | 95% ‘or long, 963; a 9634 for short; cable transfers 9715, and prime francs on Paris 5.14% @ 5.11%.

Thoughtful operators | ascribe the strength of this market to the un- | gettied condition of monetary atairs in England } D0 ‘and on the Continent, and are anxiously awaiting the further developments of the situation. The @ontinged losses of the Bank o! England, the Strength of the Bank of France and the advance in | i the Prussian Bank rate are all features that lend No little interest to the eventual course of ex. ebanges and naturally to the price of American gold.

THE FOREIGN MARKET. London advices report consols steady and Dnited States bonds weak. It is also stated that | the Continental banks are generally raising their | Fates of discount, The information is in part con- firmed by the action of the Bank of Prussia, which has advanced its rate from 5 to 6 percent. Money at Frankfort ts now 6 instead of 4 percent. With- arawais from the Bank of England continue. The Anstitution lost to-day £120,000, and it is believed that, in view of surrounding circumstances, the Fate of the bank will be again advanced at an early day.

A City Contract a: ‘What It Brought Forth—Examination Sefore Mayor Havemeyer, There ts an objection raised by Comptroller Green to # bill of Uharies Deviin, contractor, for some $54,000, This obyection has led to various and peculiar rumors, in connection with other singular statements floating around the City Hall lately. It 1» intimated that opposition to the bill comes from the Comptroller simply on the ground of his enmity to Commissioner Van Nort, who gave out the contract for this particular work in April, 1873, . There was a sewer to be built in Seventh ave- nue, between 123d and 124th streets, Mr. Deviin is @ well known contractor, and has figured for years in public affairs where his business tact was brought into requisition, Mr. Van Nort, in the usual manner (acer property advertis- ing for Dida), 1% ts claimed awarded the contract to Mr. Deviin for building this sewer, When the work was completed Mr. Deviin applied to Comptroller Green for his money, The guardian of the city’s treasury, who has so distinguished himself in providing impedi- ments for all claims, whether just or unjust, sent lug examiner, Mr, McConkey, to look over the work, in order that he might report as to its eMciency. Itis stated that some of Mr. Deviin’s workmen sent Mr, McOonkey about his business, Mayor Havemeyer then came upon the scene, and despatched some policemen up to force an en- trange into the sewer; but they were subsequently withdrawn after reconnoitring the situation. Gen- eral Van Nort next threw out skirmishers, who Teported that the work had been done perfectly, except @ few feet of roc, which did not amount to much and which has since been attended to. Mean- ume a judgment was obtained for the $54,000. Cor poration Counsel Smith stated to the Comptroller that there was no deience to the action, The Comp- troller still remained obdurate, and then Mr, | Strahan, counsel for Mr. Devin, came for- | ward aemanding an examination of the entire case before the Mayor. Yesterday the important court was held beiore His Honor in the executive chamber, there belay present Commissioner Van Nort, Comptroller Green, Examiner McConkey, ueuaty Comptroller Earle, sir, Strauan and others, So distinguished a gathering led to surmise, and it was rumored, aiong with all other rumors which flitted through the air for the past few days, that this move of the Comptrolier was in the na- ture of churges against the Commissioner of Public Works, with a view to bis removal, that the con- tract was irregular, and that hundreds of others were in the same predicament, So much for sur- mise. Mr. Green was asked to produce what testimony he had relative to the examination of the sewer and the irregularity of the contract. Generals Tracy and Towle were put on the stand and testi- fled as to the efficient manner in which the work was done. Their testimony was corroborated by others, Then Comptroller Green stated that ne had received information as to the antedating of the contract. Mr. Barker, of the Public Works De- partment, testified to the validtty of this part of | the paper. Tnen Mr. Green, witn his accustomed pertinacity, Wanted an adjournment in order to examine further into the matter of date, This | request was granted, and the proceedings were adjourned over until to-day. “BTREET OLEANING, The Police Commissioners met yesterday after- ed { drm; Canada $1,098: | COMPTROLLER GREEN AND Conms-| THE LONGSHOREMEN’S LOCK-OUT.. ————_— The Conflict Threatening To Bo ef Long. Duration—Mr. Peter Walsh om the Situation. ‘The lock-out of the "longshoremen seems to have at last assumed the sppearance of @ peace. ful though determined conflict between capital nd labor of probably long prospective duration, On the one side are a number of wealthy shipping Merchants insisting upon a reduction of the Wages of their longshoremen; on the other are these laborers, deflant in the strength ef their union and made still more resolute by the great and acute wrong under which they deem them- selves tosuffer. “Why,” said one of them yester- day, whom even the peiting rain could not pre- vent from coming down to the wharves—“why aid they not make the reduction in the spring or summer insvead of doing it in the winter, when the poor man’s struggle with life is hardest and when he is most at the mercy of the rich? Is it fairon the part of the shippers to take such an undue advantage over these ‘longshoremen, maby of whom have faithfully served them for years and years, and have contributed, py the toil of their banda, to their vast wealth ?” THE FEBLING AMONG THE MEN, These queries were put in a@ tone of bitter in- quiry, indicating the feeling which prevails among the society men. He went on to say that he had saved $500 by dint of severe economy during several years. It was hard to be obliged to part with these “savings for @ ratny day,” but he would spend the last cent rather than aid these mean stevedores and merchants in crushing the workingmen and reducing them to a condition of the worst penury. This seems to be the genera) feeling among the locked-out "longshoremen, and as none of the great steamehtp lines have as yet shown any signs of weakening in their positio there seems to be no doubt that this confict will hot be decided for weeks to come. The police also entertain this opinion, and the officers in charge of the dook garrisons say that tney are sure to have ‘a brush” with the union men before she lock-out is over. Some of them, it 18 proper to sad, are ratner sanguinary, and evidently thirst for ‘blood. They think that if there were Saly & riot they would have an opportunity of displaying their bravery and strategy, and by splitting open a few heads might insure promotion. If the ’long- shoremen will give these vallant and eager knight! of the club the least possible cause THEY WILL HIT RIGHT AND LBFT, and the disgraceful scenes in Tompkins square may soon be repeated at the wharves. And, alter all, what are the lives of a few workingmen and the happiness of their familtes compared to the bope of promotion and of @ handsome purse from the shipping merchants? ‘The drigzling rain which came down yesterda} in the main prevented disturbances by keepin; tne ‘longshoremen condned to their homes, West street, which during the previous weck had been. thronged by them, was remarkably quiet, and wherever they were to be seen it Was 1D small roups of not over twenty or thirty. At No. 333 West atreet, corner of King, some of the men now employed by Walsh Brothers were paid yesterday. ‘The scene was one of unusual interest. Many of the men, whose scant clothing and pinched taces. were but soo indicative of their needy condition, clutched hold eagerly of the smail envelopes con- taining their petty remuneration for a week of severe toll ‘aish Brothers will pay the remain- der of their men to-day. Some of them were clamoring loudly for their wages. One young boy, who scarcely looked to be over fliteen, said he had. done the severest Work just like the other ‘long- shoremen, as Nis mother was extremely ill and he - had to support her as well ag a sister. noon as the Street Cleaning Committee. Mr. John Muillaly, formeriy a Hea'th Commissioner, ap- | peared before them and urged them to make use during the winter of portable steam-engines to dissolve the snow in the streets by the emission of | superheated steam. Mr. Mullaly isthe owner of @patent lor such engines, He said that i the | Commissioners would purchase thirty of them, at | @ cost of $3,000 each, they would be able to speedily clear the streets of snow. Commissioner Disbecker sald, in response to Mr, Mullaly, that the Committee is unable at present to make ar- rangements for the removal of the snow, as the Jor $100,000 lor that purpose, MUNIOLPAL NOTES, There were the usual rumors yesterday around the City Hall in relation to removals, resignations | and changes, Nothing of a formal os formidabie | character has yet been developed. As the shades of evening stole through the Executive chamber Mr. John Foley was seen to saunter into the pres- ence of the Mayor, where he remained closeted tor some time.

MR, WALSH ON THE SITUATION. | _ Mr. Peter Walsh, the head of the firm of Walsh ' Brothers, stated yesterday that among the new | men whom he had empioyed were about 500 Italians, and that they were working well, though somewhat slowly. If they could only understand English, or be could only speak Italian, everysht would be lovely, and they would be quite as user as tue union men. He aiso had quite a number of | co,ored men. In fact, he had to get all sorts of laborers to help him out of his dificuity. He had experienced great trouble in finding the proper men, but now they were tmproving every day, and | the union men would soon admit that the mer- | chants could get along without them. Mr. Walsh declared that his lite had repeatedly been threat- ened by the society men, who had even followed hum to his home, and that he was quite ill from the | undue strain upon his working powers and from be- | ing exposed to the rain at ail hours. He was paying | the expenses of the men who had been beaten by the locked-out ‘longshoremen, and would continue | todo so, He was quite determined, he said, not to take any of them back unless they renounced the union, whose action, but for him, might have crippled the commerce of New York, An Italian Beaten by Union Men. | Louts Arata, an Italian, who resides in Sixty-- | eighth street, before the ‘longshoreman’s strike was a laborer on the Boulevard. When that event. occurred he made the error of leaving a safe and healthfal employment to work for more pay, but in peril from strikers, on the docks. Yesterday aiternoon he was attacked and severely beaten by some irate ‘longshoremen at the corner of Canal and Greenwich streets. The ’Longshoremen in Brooklyn. The strike on the river front continues, oiter about the docks and quietly, though deeply, denounce the non-society men who have taken their places at the reduced rates of compensation. The stevedores claim that they not only save money by employing Italians, but. find that they can stow cargo a8 weil almost as the older hands, The steamship Maas, lying at. Harbeck’s stores, has been unioaded, and a new cargo is now being placed in the vessel. Yeste: day a joreman in the employ of Howard & Vi Treck, stevedores, was assaulted on Furman street and severely, though not dangerously, beaten. The Strike in Jersey City. | The Cunard Company have settled the strike im | Jersey City. The Java has been loaded by the special gang of forty men, who are retained the whole year round at $3 a day by the company. The aid of the Italians was required only in unloading. Arrangements have been made by Mr. Walsh, the super- intendent, for a permanent gang of fifty men, who are to go to work this morn- ing. The number of men ont on nke | is set down at 180, It is believed that a large | number of them witl offer themselves a: the new | rates this morning. The police jorce which was | on. duty at tne Cun, dock has been. withdrawn. In consideration of tue peacetul at- titude of the men on strike Mr. Walsh expresses his wiilngness w_ receive ali the prodigals who may offer themselves back into the \jola, At the same time he says that | the work perioried by the gang of Itaans has been most satisfactory when it is considered that none of them could understand | the English language nor could anybody tu charge of them speak the italian language. The same gang will be engaged when the next steamship arrives, The Strike in Hoboken. In conformity with the determination formed tn. mass meeting at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on Sunday, by the men on strike at the Bremen Dock, they de- clined to go to work yesterday morning, as the North German Lioyd Steamship Company still ree 1used to pay the old wages to them. Tie other Ger- man companies employed the longshoremen at the usual rates. During the afternoon one of the newly employed hands, named Onristian Saunders, was assaulted by a demonstrative striker named Nich. olas Ward, Who was arrested and imprisoned in the police station. He will be arraizned before the order to-day.
