The merchandise markets were, a8 @ general | | + | ceipts at the various ports were | thing, fairly active to-day, and iu some commodr ties there was a decided improvement, both as regards the demand and the pricescurrent. There was # more active export movement in wheat than ‘here had been for months, and prices advanced materially in consequence, closing Uuoyant at tho improvement. The transactions were universally heavy, and would have been still larger put for the ex:reme views of holaers. Flour was in mod- erate request, though it was believed the market must soon feel the influence of the activity and advanee in wheat. Corn was in moderate reauest, and at the close easy, though prices were without decided change. Oats were steady. Whiskey was firmer, with a moderate demand. Provisions were quiet. Pork was firmer, particu- larly for future delivery. Lard was still in demand and firmer, though closing easy. Groceries were not essen- tially changed io vaiue and the marketruled quiet. Cot- ton was quiet, closing nominally steady tor spot and a shade eusier for futures. Freights remained quiet both for berth accommodation and charter. Rates were easy. Petroleum was not much sought after, but ruled about steady in value. Naval stores ruled steady under a rather better inquiry. Corrax.—ibe market presented @ very dull app ance and nothing of importance transpirea. Some few jobbing sales were reported, but the dealings were smail.

A COAL COMPANY'S FAILURE—CALIFORNIA STOCKS AND THE HARLEM DIVIDEND. The failure of the Morris Run and Pittsburg and Elmira Coal companies, noticed to this column lateiy, aud whici was denied by authority of tae New York State Loan and Trust Company, had unpleasant confirmation yesterday, as Mr, Patrick Lyneh, of Syracuse, has been appointed assignee of both companies. It is claimed that the assets are largely in excess of the Iabilities, but evi- dentiy some of the creditors do not take tis hopeful view of the case, and the company goes into bankruptcy. ‘The large jaiulure in London of Imtharn & Co, continues to be ciscussed in Wall street, aud a telegram from Loudon of yesterday states that it is Causing great Uueasiness in the London mar- Kets. The rates 0! money there are but a iraction below the legal bank rate, and troubie 13 antic pated In counecion with Montreal adairs as well. Iu the latter city there 1s said to be great distress among the merchants, and they are draw ing gold from Us in place of sending it here, as is usual at this seaso! ADVANCE IN GOLD PREMIUM. The advance yesterday disturbed and demoral ized sterling exciange, and it is leared, if the drain coutinues, the Gesperate speculators wno have control of tue situation may loree up the pre- mium to a figure unwarraoted either by the searcity of the metal, the needs of tne merchants or by the paucity ol the bank reserves, Ihe ques- tion yesterday Was not how tne stock market was tending but what the gold clique were doing. A painiul accident to a prominent memoper of the Stock bxchange, Mr. James M, Selover, yes- terday, Was the subject of uuiversal regret. Mr. Selover slipped from @ horse car, dislocatea nis sioulder and, It is ieared, suffered internal 1 juries. He lies in & Gangerous condition at hi Tesidence in Pnirty-sixtn treet. ahe New York ana Harlem Ratiroad Company yesterday deciared a dividend of two per cent Irom earpinys aud profits of the city line on the RAPID TRANSIT. How and by Whom It Is Said To Be Opposed. A TARDY ORGANIZATION. Another Meeting To Be Held To-Day. The subject of rapid transit is almost complately at the disposal of the Legislature. That body cao temporarily prevent the citizens of New York from acquiring the means to transport themselves irom place to place in the city with rapidity, or it c put those means immediately within tneir grasp. Whether or not the Legislature isalive to the im. portance to New York of this matter, to which its vote may be decisively opposed fora time or im- peratively favorable, it 18 diMcult to discover bere. The sub-committee of the Assembly which satin this city for two or three hours one day last month went away to Ali any apparently satisied that rapid transit was a necessity to New York city, and a tbing which ought to be acnteved speedily. Yet, for morethan & month, nothing bas come fortn from that sub-committee; and tn the meantime it bas been rumored here that it 1s TRAITOROUS TO THE METHOPOLIS. It has been said to have among its numbert meu who, while not openly opposing the accom plishment of rapid trausitt, would still, tn the interest of their great individual political patron, use every stratagem fo betray the pupite. The individual patron spoken of has been named as Tharlow Weed; and itis said that this eminent politician has set every machine at his baod working to defeat rapid transit. Whether this ie true or is not there are no means to determiue. Whenever any trouble ocours in connection with legislative affairs some scapegoat Is selected upon whom to bestow all the blame jor the difficulty, ‘That scapegoat is not necessarily a legislator. He may be a lobbyist or he may be some renowned wirepuller, Mr. Weed ts the scapegoat who te now reported to be bucking” the rapid transit train. There 1s certainly some evidence in favor of the theory that he ts opposing the accomplisnment of rapid transit; but there is none to show that the sub-committee of tne Assembly is influenced by him, unless it be found iu the tardiness of that body to prepare and report a bill. Mr. Weed is stockholder in several of the city horse car rath ways and isa director in one or two of the com panies. His principal interest, however, is satd to be in the Third Avenue Railway Company, and it1s that corporation which has for years urged on the opposttion to schemes for the speedy trans- portation of passengers through the city. Its money has been freely used, and it has appeaied successiully to all the other ratiroad corporations for aid in tts covert CAMPAIGNS IN THE LEGISLATORE, The reports which have become public of the annual receipts and the expenditures of the Third Avenue company do not give evidence of money having been spent by itin fighting against rapid transit; but there ts in existence at least one re- port, made secretly to stocknolders in the com. pany, Which does tell how much mouey had tous een spent. Yet it matters little who opposes the building of rapid transit railways through New York city; it remains @ fact that such rallways must be built, Rapid transit ts desired by most of the people of New York, ant oviy those persons oppose it whose interests it would undo, Notwithstanding this fact, no real, energetic atiempt has been made so jar to Organize the aspirants for it.
