Wat Sraxet, Tuvurspay, Oct 25—6 P. M. The stock market to-day was unattended by more than the usual interest that has marked speculauon for the last two or three weeks, 1t was active, but not suggestive. Considerable realizing took place, and those who were fortunate enough to secure profit gladly retired from the field, It is evidently becoming ap- parent to the speculative public that extreme danger attends any following of a chque which has no other motive power behind it than mere capital—no concur- rent commercial conditions, and no other force save such as may be generated within {ts own circle, Prices may advance, many of the outside public may be in- veigiod, but the most favorable result of speculative combinations will not alter the impression which largely prevails among prudent men that we areon the eve of importaut cbanges, in which reckiess buyers will be found bewailing thelr losses and wondering why they did not before discover the snares and pitfalls of this upward movement, There is not space to-day to describe the various inside manipulations, but if the general public could see one-half of the ‘bull pool” actively at work at the uptown hotels after night fall distributing “points” that stocks would | certainly advance anywhere from ten twenty per cent, and the otber half, through their | brokers, actively engaged the next morning in selling the self-same stocks to thelr dupes, the details of a Wali street gamble would be quickly understood and honest men would stay away. In activity Lake Shoro was again the leader of the market, About 67,000 shares changed bands. The stock, however, does not present its recently painted face, From 624 it receded to 60% and closed at 61. Pacific Mail sold at 40% a 4134 2405. Panama advanced to 136. Erie fell off frem 184, to 173¢ and closed at 17%. Western Union sold at 16% 075%, Northwest common opened at 37% and closed at 86%. St. Paul common fell off to 34 and the preferred to 62:4. Union Pacific rose from 6534 to 665* but ended at 654g. Atlantic and Pacifle Telegraph rose from 18% to 10%, ending at 10%. The rest of the market was without material change.

Althongh the gold market to-day showed consider- able fluctuation the feeling which favors higher prices as very strong. Good buyers were present, and there is reason for the assertion that they are basing their operations on tho belief that the present ecarcity of gold will sooner or later make itself felt, Itisa note worthy fact that the supply on hand at present is com- pletely within the control of a few parties whenever they choose to employ their power, although at the present moment there are no notable signs of the existence of a “pool.” It is said that a considerable number of stock brokers, disgusted with the uncer- tainties of the stock market, have transferred their speculations to the Gold Board, believing that in the Jpng run it is safer to trust to areal value like that o¢ fold than to take the chances on stocks, which move up and down simply obedient to the nod of one or two Parties, whose intentions are uncertain and whose profits largely depend on their ability to deceive, Gold advanced from 116% to 116%, fell off to 116% and closed at 11634. At this price rag money is worth about 66.02 The rates paid for borrowing were 3-64, 1-16, 5-64, 3-32, 3,1-32 and 1-64 percent. Loans were also made flat and at 3 a4 per cent for carrying.

Thoy also assert that the greatly increased expenditure was ‘rerdered necessary by the unprecedented storms and floods which occurred during the year, which carried away and destroyed bridges, culverts and embi and in- Jered the road, in may places 9o such an extent as to re- i n expenditure of about $400,000 including the sum’ pended for steel ‘Ogeregating orenoen cl tl of the committee who have recently examined the road, and from other reliable sources, the is now in excellent condition, fully equipped, and able to do a highly profitab! business, and the entire roll k is in thorough a toc! eficient order.

The Board of Estimate and Apportionment continued their examination of the estimates yesterday in the Mayor’s office. Comptroller Green, Mayor Wickham, Alderman Lewis and Tax Commissioner Whoeler were Present. ‘ A commanication was received from the Commis sioners of Pilots asking for an appropriation of $5,000 to be used in the removal of wrecks, This was laid over, Anumber of items not already agreed upon wero then passed upon. Among them were the following:— Salaries, clerks of Board of Aldermen, $15,000; Bureau of Pérmits, $12,500; cleaning markets, $20,000; con- tingencies Comptroller’s office, $5,000. Mayor Wick- ham moved to strike out an item of $1,380, five-twen- ty-five bonds, for liquidation of claims and judgments issued in pursuance of Laws of 1873 and payable July 1, 1876. After some discussion the matter was referred to the Corporation Counsel for his opinion. Appropriation for salaries in the Finance Department Was placed at $200,000, $250,000 being asked, For Judgments against the city $125,000 was awarded. Commissioner Bailey and Dr, Ordornaux, from the: Department of Charities and Correction, appeared be- fore the Board and spoke in relation to the estimates. Dr. Ordornaux stated that the accommodations and diet for the lunatics on Blackwell’s and Ward’s islands ‘were not at all sufficient If the estimates from this department were cut down these poor people could not be properly provided for. The gentleman spoke for some time on those points. He was followed by Com- missioner Bailey, who also urged upon tho Board the necessity for giving his department the amount de- manded. Comptrolier Green said that in 1874 $70,000 had remained over from the appropriation then give! Now the Commissioners came before the Board and wanted a larger sum than he deemed at all ni Commissioner Bailey said the ay peso out of which $70,000 had been saved was i 75,000 larger than the amount proposed to be given this year, Final consideration of the matter was laid over until to-day. The Board has set down $1,183,000 as the appropriation for this department. ‘It is probable, however, that thoy will reconsider thelr action and in- crease the estimate. ‘The appropriation for salaries of the Department of Public Works was fixed at $130,000, Comptroller Green remarked that the amount was entirely too large and ought to be reduced, but he was willing to vote with his colleagues for the sake of harmony. eat Department headquarters pay roll was fixed at The Department of Taxes and Assessments was allowed $125,000. In connection with ths appropriation Commissioner Wheeler stated that during the past two years tho ex- | sy -o4 of this department had yn greatly reduced. in fact, it was the only department in the city which had inaugurated a thorough system of reduction. Salaries had been cut dowa and other improvements introduced, In 1873 the mses were as high as 263,000, ‘Now all they naked for ‘was $129,000. Estimates of the Fire Department wero cut down as follows:—Salaries at headquarters from 100 to $42,400, ir shop payroll from $59,615 to ),000, Bureau of Combustibles from $21,850 to $15,000, Fire Marshal from $9,400 to $7,200, superintendents of horses from $10,750 to $7,000 and Chief of Department from $32,700 to $30,200. The Corporation Counsel was allowed $6,000 for rent of offices, At one o’clock the Board took a recess until three. On reassembling they took up the Park Department estimate, which was set down at $522,000. The Pilot Commissioners were allowed $1,000 for removal of obstructions in the harbor. Other estimates passed upon were as follows:—Pay for armories, $8,000; sup- port of prisoners in County Jail, $12,500; Sheriffs fees, $40,000; disbursements to witnesses, $12,000; salaries of Gourts of Oyer and Terminer and Special Sessions, $63,200. Comptroller Green angoed against any appro- priation for Sheriff's fees, He remarked that great abuses had taken place in the pastin the Sheriff’s Department, That official received a large amount of fees already in his office, and he did not think the city ought to be compelled to pay additional sums, Alder- man Lewis reported in favor of giving the Health De- partment $283,000, being some $23, more than waa pean determined. This estimate will be passed upon to-day, The next business taken up was the proposed ap- propriation of $350,000 for the erection of the Seventh regiment armory, in accordance with the law passed by the last Legisiature. Comptroller Green made a lengthy speech in opposition to this appropriation. His remarks were a reiteration of the statoments made by him ina letter which was published some days ago in the Heratp, his main point being that the regiment waa compelled under the leave given by the city to build the armory at their own expense. Colonel Emmons Clark, of the Seventh, read an answer to the Comptroller, in which he undertook ta disprove that gentleman’s argument, Alderman Lewis, at the conclusion of the discussion, moved that $100,000 be appropriated for the erection of the armory. | This motion was lost, Comptroller Green and Mr. Wheeler voting inthe negative. The latter said he wished to examine more fully into the subject It will be again brought before the Board Ye " REAL ESTATE SALES.
