FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The Stock Market Dull and Prices Irregular. ‘GOLD STRONGER AT 113 5-8, ‘Government and Railway Bonds in Fair Request and Steady, WOREIGN EXCHANGE WEAK. Watt Street, Wronespay, August 18S—6 P, M. There was little in the stock speculation to-day to en- scourage operators on either side of the market, The changes were within a range of 1 per cent and the deal- ings indicative of a disposition to await further devel- ‘opments. Few outside orders were received, and bro- ‘kers continue to complain of a dylness that is demoral- Sizing. Indeed, if one may judge from the financial con- ‘dition on both sides of the Atlantic, the concentration ‘of money in the great centres, the absence of faith, the falling off in the productive industries and the more ‘rigid measurement that is being applied to the value of ‘everything that is purely, speculative in character, it 1s safe to look for a smaller volume of business during the moxt five years than has been seen at any simtlar period * ince the war. The people are undergoing a revolution “of ideas. Never before have they been so much edu- ‘cated in the practical lessons of finance as thev are now, The losses that have come home to every man and force him to study the cause make him , political economist, though it may be on a small ‘sealo, Thus the country merchant is becoming more ‘cautious in his transactions asa buyer and seller; the \obber more carefully than ysual scrutinizes the paper rwith which he has to deal, and avoids tho danger of jagain overloading his warehouses with an unproductive Aine of goods; the consumer is learning how to econo- mize, while the laborer finds that eventually he, too, must succumb to the inevitable, and, hard as it may weem, yield to the demands of capital that has been ‘choked and restricted in its employment by the various yeauses which have affected the enterprises of the coun- ftry. So, step by step, we are receding toward a lower plano of prices, and, it isto be hoped, a healthier basis of national prosperity, ‘THE MARKET, ‘in nearly all of its departments, was irregular. This is especially true of stocks. Western Union, Lake Shore, fPacific Mail, St, Paul and Northwestern wero the most active, The sales of the day were Wittle more than 53,000 shares. Owing to the itermination of the railroad war, in which Hannibal and {St Joseph, Missouri Pacific, Atlantic Pacific and other {ines were involved, the prices of these securities wero yetronger. An advance in the rates toa paying basis is j@nnounced to have taken place. Missouri Pacific sold at 4814; Atlantic and Pacific preferred closed at 134 a 4, St. Louis and Northern at 534 a 7}4, and Kansas Pa- weificat 12412, Kansas and Texas was bid for at 514. Pacific Mail, notwithstanding adverse rumors that have been published concerning the City of Peking, was strong on an advance from 384 to 2874 a 88%, the last Being the closing price, Western Union opened at 8414 and receded to 83%{, ending at 837%, Atlantic and Pa- cific Telograph opened and closed at 21, Union Pacific old at 73, St, Paul preferred advanced from 6244 to 16224, ending at the last named price. Ohio and Missis- sippi is Without featnre. Erie opened at 15%, sold at 5%) and closed at 153f. Lake Shore vibrated between 6034 and 597%, closing at the former price.

Money on cail loans temporarily stiffened to 4 per cent, but before the close of the market was readily supplied at 2 percent, The reports from the West aro more favorable, and thus far, judging from the same, Aittle apprehension need be felt concerning the crops, Foreign exchange was weak, with 4.8614 and 4.89 as the nominal rates for prime bankers’ sterling, and 4.86 and 4.8814 as nctual rates, Reichmarks, 95a 95\¢ and 957% A964; cablds, 96%; prinre Paris, 6.159 and 5.12)9; oiher rates, 5.1634 and 613%. THE GOLD MARKET. Sold opened at 115%% and rose to 11354, the last being the closing price, The advance is due to the disturbed condition of affairs abroad and the high rates for the ‘use of cash gold, which were 3, 4 aud 2 per cent per’ an- num and 1-64, 1-32 and 1-16 per diem, closing at 3 per cent per annum. If the inflationists of the country continue to show further strength it will be another reason for the firmness of gold, OPERATIONS OF THE GOLD EXCHANGE BANK.

M. ‘At the opening of business to-day the market gen- erally was unsettled, and in most instances a trifle lower. Consols are quoted to-day at 943. This is a falling off of 44 per cent since yesterday’s closing prices, In United States government bonds five-twenties of 1865 have also fallen off ‘¢ per cent, The latest price was 106%, against 107 yesterday. Tho issue of five-twenties of 1867 have yielded, in sympathy with the rest of the market, 3 per cent. They are now quoted at 108 “The United Staies ten-forty bonds still hold their own, and are quoted at 104%, ex coupon. United States fives (new) show an advance of 4 percent. This is the only exception to the slight decline in values of almost all kinds. shares have receded two points since the close of yes- terday’s business. They are now selling at 144%. The shares of the New York Central and.Hudson River Rail- road have fallen off 'y percent. A marked advance is recorded in Central Pacific, sixes, They have jumped 1% per cent, and, with an active deinand, are now quoted at 9345. Virginia State bonds, consolidated deb! show an advance of 14 per cent, They are now quot -at 5334, against 53 as reported yesterday. SECOND DESPATCH. Loxpon, August 18—3 P. M. ‘The market to-day is unsteady on account of the dis- quieting news trom Herzegovina, ‘The effect of this is seen in the fall of consols. The theory is that the spreading of the insurrection, which is the report from Vienna, last night, may. complicate Russia with the great Powers on the Eastern question, While American securities continue strong, English consols and home values are depressed, THIRD DESPATCH, Lonpox, August 18—4 P, M. The market closes to-day in an unsettied condition on account of depressing rumors from the Continent. These rumors arise out of the continuance of the insurrection in Herzegovina and the diplo- matic complications it threatens between Tur- key and Russia, and tho fear that Germany will interfere in such a manner as to endanger the peace of Europe. Whatever trath there may bo in these rumors it is certain that they have had ‘their influence upon commercial affairs, To-day the bears have had their own way in the market. The only securities that have not responded to this depressing influence are American, especially governments, You will observe that while consols have been slightly affected American governments have remamed strong. Unless we should have a contradiction of the disquicting rumors the bright prospects with which the week opened will be clouded and we shall have a period of de- pression, The market for American funds continues steady, although it will be seen by the prices that slight concessious have been made, Tuesday, Wednesday.

ANOTHER RAILROAD WAR—THE ERIE PROTECTION COMMITTEE—THE NEW JERSEY MIDLAND RALL- WAY PLAN OF REORGANIZATION—REDUCTION OF CAPITAL, &C. Tho railway war, it appears, has broken ry again, and this time in a more menacing form foW railroad prosperity? The writer was yesterday shown a letter from a prominent banking firm in Cincinnati, in which this ominous clause occurs:--“The railroads are again cutting rates—all except the Baltimore and Ohio—and now tickets are offered to your city (New York) and re- tarn, good for thirty days, for $10." Such ruinous’ competition will of course hurt Ohio and Mississippi, C., C. and I. C., and particularly the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads, It is to be hoped that such a suicidal policy will soon be discontinued. THE WESTERN RAILROAD TROUBLES, it appears, are ended, if we can believe a despatch from Chicago, which says:—The freight and passenger agents of the Southwestern roads met in Chicago, on Tuesday, and wisely decided to discontinue the war be- tween them. A tariff was agreed on, substantially the samb as that prevailing from April 20 up to the hour of hostilities, The passenger rates are raised from Chicago to Kansas City to $17 50, and from St. Louis to Kansas City to $11. ERIE CIRCULAR AND ERIE CERTIFICATES. There is a suspicious circular going the rounds in Wall | and Broad streets, which it may be as well for parties to investigate before giving the power asked to those de- siring it—which in the end might prove vexatious and dangerous, The circular reads as follows:— HRIZ- RAILWAY SHAREHOLDERS—PROPOSED PLAN AND ARRANGEMENTS. The law preventing Erie and New York Central from being under the same control was repealed jast May, and the Erie Protection Committee of New York, having in view the interests of shareholders, purpose procuring an order setting aside the recent election and directing another to be held; and, thereupon, to place the Van- derbilts in possession. ‘The following reasons for this course are submitted:—1. The Vanderbilts, honest and capable, are the wealthiest railroad managers in America, 2 Their ability has been proved by their advancing ail lines onder their management to regular, divi- dend-paying roads, and‘ greatly increasing the stock valucs of the same, Harlem, from 8 cents per share in 1860, to 134 in 1875; Hudsdn River, from 36 to 105, and New York Central, from 69 to 105, 3. They would have Erie ran economically and honestly, for the benefit of its stockholders, while their control would reinspire contidence in the line throughout America and Europe, and probably enabie us to relieve it from the meshes of litigation and advance the market vaiue of your stock from 60 to 7 cents per share, If you still hold the shares standing on the transfor books in your namo, or any shares, and approve the proposed plan, please sign the subjoined proxy at the right hand margin, so that your name will end with the word ‘‘seal,” and have a witness sign at the left hand margin. Thereupon transmit the proxy in the enclosed envelope by return post. ‘The cominittee caution yon not to dispose of your shares, their information being that a preconcert ie tompt has been made upon the part of persons con- nected with the management to depress the stock. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Kxow Att, MEN BY THESR PRESENTS, that we, stock- holders in the Erie Railway Company, do hereby irre- vocably constitute and appoint Cornelius Vanderbilt, William H. Vanderbilt and John Livingston, jointly and severally, our attorneys and agents for us and in our name, place and stead, to vote as ofr proxy at. the next and at any other election for directors of the Ene Rail- Company and for inspectors of election, and at any meeting of the stockholders of said company, according ‘to the number of votes and upon the shares of stock wo should be entitled to vote, if then personally present, as fully and in all matters as perfectly as we could act if present, giving to our said agents and attorneys, and to each of them severally, full power of substitution and revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that our said attorneys or either of them may lawfully ddin the premises, and hereby revoking and making null, void and of none effect all powers and authorities b ofore given or granted in the premises and all other mattors and things therein contained, In witness whereof we have hereunto set onr hands and seals this —— day of —~, one thousand eight hun- dred and sevénty-tive. Mr. John Livingston is the same gentleman who called a meeting of the Erie Protection Committee, a date, and when those interested met he was found to possess proxies to vote on only 750 shares of stock 1 Mr. £. J. Randall will sign the Erie certificates hero- after, in place of Mr, Smythe. ‘THE NEW JERSEY MIDLAND RAILWAY (a part of the Montclair Railroad Company) had a meeting yesterday, at No. 93 Liberty street, for recon. struction. The committee were not all in attendance, ‘but it is understood that the following basis was agreed upon for reorganization :— First mortgage construction bonds, secured by a first lien upon the whole property, and bearing seven per cent interest, with half-yearly coupons, will be tssued to the amount of $700,000. Of this amount it {s proposed to appropriate $175,000 for new rolling stocl $125,000 to putting the road bed in order an continuing 1t from its present terminus at Monks so far out as Greenwood Lake; $200,000 to finishing the Caidwell branch so far out as Caldwell, and the balance to reserve for contingencies, Bonds to the amount of $1,800,000, bearing seven per cent, with half. yearly con! will be issued to the present first mort: bomdhotders and as collateral for these bonds, ‘3 for $1,800,000 will be issued. An issue of com- mon stock will be made for coupons past due and ma- turing and for the face of the present second mortgage bonds. Immediately upon the reorganization of the company, it is reported, an iron and stone bridge will be constructed over the Passaic River, all the trestle work along the route will be filled in, and various other repairs will be made to put the road in first class order, ‘The different interests in the Montclair Railway have agreed to give the control of the property to the first mortgage bondholders at once instead of waiting until September 11. All that ig necessary now, it seems, is to obtain the approval of Mr, A. 8. Hewitt, who is the re- Prenentative in court of the second mortgage bond- THE NSW YORK GUARANTY AND INDEMNITY COMPANY, in voluntary liquidation since last April, have obtained leave to re: their capital, which has been found by the bank examiners to be unimpaired, This reduction ig made from $2,000,000 to $700,000. _,it is understood from this certificate of the Bank Superintendent that the company have leave to reim- burse sixty-tive per cent of their capital to the stock- holders, and to leave thirty-five per cent undivided ag representing their real estate, Broadway and Exchange court, which ts said to pay a fuir dividend clear of taxes, ineurance, &c. THE BONDS OF JUDGE stIPMaN, a8 assigneo of Messrs. Duncan, Sherman '& Co., have been fixed by Judge Robinson at $500,000.
