FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. An Advance in Gold to116 1-2-- The Market Excited STOCKS GENERALLY FIRM. | Money on Call Loans 4 and 5 Per Cent—Gov- ernment Bonds Strong. FOREIGN EXCHANGE STEADY. Watt StREFT, | | Wepymspay, March 17--6 P. Much interest to-day attacied to the course of | Prices, and at times there was an exhibition of considerable excitemen!, This was especially ob servabdle in the gold market, owing to the import. ant advance that ecorded below. Still nigher Prices are previcted as a {ulfilment of the plans of | t echique, and tf tney suouid be made there are Bvt a few among ihe watehiul observers Who look for trouble. Phe {allure o/ a jarge New York sugar | house, the private advices (rom London concern: | mg the resaits o! the late Imthurn failure, the un- | certainty which artaches to the recent upward | movement in s'ocks. (he firmness of government | Donas, the breaking ap of the ice and carrying | away of Erie bridges—tiese were incidents that | Materialiy disturbed the calculations of active | operators, and leit the «ifuation ansettled and ir- regular. A FAIR BUSINESS, bowever, was siown by the transactions of the @ay, and at the close the recent s rong undertone was not materially a/'ered. During the nextsixty Gays many tmportant chinges ure expected. The | dmprovement in trace, the supposed venefits that | will accrue to railroads from spring business | when the rigors of winter shall Lave passed away, the steadily advancing ra‘es of some of the great Btaples—these and other encouraging signs are regarded as elements o/ a condition that may Bive a newcomplexion to the calculations of | speculators and perhaps make a more substantial market. Meanwhie, the situation 18 one that May be profitably scrutinized, and he who makes or loses money must do *o on his own individual judgment. The details of the fallure alluded to above will be iound elsewhere. A meeting of Pa. eifc Mail directors was held to-day, at which yending differences between the company and Mr. John Roach, the steamship builder, were, as (he writer 1s assured by competent authority, sat- stactorily adjusted. The failure in London of Biordet & Co. was a natural sequence of the sus- pension of Imthurn & Co., already reported, the principal of the first named firm being a tamily | relation who had jreely inuorsed the paper of his Son-in-law. ! THE STOCK MARKET im the early stage was strong and showed im- provement ranging from \ tol percent, Subse quentiy, however, it yielded to depressing in. fluences and was heavy, but it recovered from %& 10 % per cent irom the iowest prices. The leaders were Northwest common, Western Union, Union Pacific and Pacific Mail. Erie was likewise more ‘han usually active. Western Untun opened at 97%, advanced to 78%, sold as low as 77% and | ciosed at 774;. Pacific Mail began at 3834, went to 80% and closed at 3S‘. Union Pacific ranged | from 48% to 49%, closing at the latter price. | Northwest commou moved from 4555 to 45%, | pelling down mevowlile to 44% and closing at 45%; the preferred stock ended at 58%. Erie Opened at 26%, advanced ‘; and closed at tne | opening price. Wabash sold at 12) ally al2. | Onio and Mississippi ranged from 267% to 2734, end- ing at27. Hannibal and St. Joseph sold at 24 a 23% @ 23%; Pacitic or Missourt at 4915 a 49; St. | Paul common at 85% a 357, a 35% 35%; Dre- ferred stock at 55. Rock Island ‘was steady at 106.8105%. Delaware and Lackawanna sold at W164 alllaily: New York Central at 100% a 100%; Lake Snore at 75% @ 75% a 75%. Other | ebanges will be found below. ADVANCE AND DECLINE.

A large failure was recorded to-day in the sugar trade. ‘ihe HERALD representative immediately waited on the firm whose suspension was r ported, Messrs, Aldama & Fulier, whose office is at No. 107 Wail street, and received irom Mr. Ful- ler the following particulars:—lhey have su pended witn liavilities amounting to abont $400,000. Their assets are about $300,000 In cash and other securities—real estate and otherwise— | amounting to nearly $700,000, a portiOa of which is locked up just now in an unprofitable sugar: | refinery in Brooxlyo, aud the bad odor of sugar paper has prevented the negotiation of suMficient sums to carry the firm through their troabies. Mr. Miguel Aidama bas been the agent of the Cubans in this country, and is said to be largely identified with ther cause, It is not known whether any complications growing out of this political alliance have anything to do with tne firm's trouples. | Aidama & Falier are the successors of Brunje, | Ockershausea & Co, whose establisument at the foot of Canal street was hired by the new concern, To mect thelr necessities they pro- ceeded to build a iarge reflnery at the Atiantic Decks, Which they ave expecting to occupy on the ist May, and on which they have expended within the past year, in cash, about $400,000, They ask an extension of two, four and six months, which their creditors will probably ac ord them. There | Js hO question, however, bat that the disturbing element has been in the GOLD MARKET. ‘The premiam advanced yesterday to 116%, and | | after business hours calis were treely bid tor at 117 to-day. Sterling exchange was completely demoralized and the lowess rates of this year were made, There did not seem to be apy unusual pressure on cash gold, and the evident efforts of mere Habis to cover their saies of “short gold havavay caused the suvance in the premium Ji Reels 10 be on CULrage ‘iat a ew banded spec.

THE NORTH CAROLINA BOND CASE settled yesterday by the deposit of $425,000 | with the clerk of Judge Donohue’s court; but it te understood that aa appeal will at once be taken, and Messrs. L. P. Bayne & Co. claim that their ad- | vances of $30,000 in cash and alarger sum due for | commissions must be paid before the bonds can be released to the claimants, There is a nice question of the responsibiiity of contractors in- volved in this suit, and the dectsion of the Su preme Court wiil be looked for with interest.

THE CATHOLIC PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS TO BR MERGED IN THE COMMON SsCHOOLS—THE FIRST REPORT OF FAILURE FROM THE AGENTS OF TRUANCY—RULES FOR THE NAUTI- OAL SCHOOL. The Board ef Education met yesterday afters noon, President Neilson in the chair, The Superintendent and agents of truancy ap- pointed under the Compulsory law made thetr first report. The total number of cases investi- gated were 534, Of this number 393 were kept at home by sickness and otner causes, leaving 141 cases of truants and non-attendants, of which 114 have been placed at school by the several agents, Jeaving 37 still in the hands of the agents. It has been jound impossible to obtain the correct names and residences of the children who are found wandering about the streers, and but little has been accomplished toward getting this class of children into the schools. They seem to be ‘well posted” as to the law and either evade or reiuse to answer the ques- tions put to tnem. Nothing can be done until the census shall have been completed. The re- port recommends the reopening of the even'ng schools in order to enable factory children and others to procure their certificate of fourteen weeks of schooling. THE CATHOLIC PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS, A communication from representatives of Cathoe lic parochial schools was read, requesting the Board to appoint a committee to meet a commit~ vee representing their iuterests to consider on what terms the parocital schools may be admitted to the benefits of the public school system, subject to itslawsas regards tne course of instruction, the methods of discipune and the geu- eal management im such manner as may be agreed upon. The letter cays that the number of pupils in the schvo's 18 50,000, fifty schools, most of which have large and@ com- modious pdufldings erecte? for school purposes, Provided with almost everything necessary tor free schools, and capable of affording suficient space for trom 300 to 1,000 children each. It ree ferred, also, to the fact that s union somewhat similar to that here proposed existe in many parts of this State and in some otuer states and that the results have Leen so satis actory that Protestants and Catholics alike approve and Bupport it. “As the uudersigned and those whom tney represent have paid and still pay their {uli snare of tne taxes that go to the support of the common schools they hope your honorabie body will iavorably cousider their request and take Such action as may ulti- jead to greater harmony in a work such vast importance as that of ain” education.” Toe signers are William uinn, Vicar General; Jeremian Devin, J.
