GOLD LOWER, AT 114 1-8 A IL 1-4. a Rag Paper 87.51—Government and Railway Bonds Firm—Buoyancy in the Foreign Market. Wat Srreet, } Wepwnaspay, Noy. 24, 6 P. M. The suggestion of the Hrraip in this column con- @erning a reductiowin the rate of brokers’ commis- 6ions is having its effect. A paper is now in circulation and being freely signed by those who favor the pro- posed change, and at the proper time the matter will be acted upon formally by the authorities of the Stock Exchange. The idea is also being mooted thatif the ‘board shall remain open an hour longer, say from three to four o'clock, the tendency willl be to attract mer- chants, bankers and well-to-do clerks, who are now ‘contined between what are known as business hours, and yet who in times past under fairly attractive con- ditions were among the best patrons of the street, Several of the solid houses are said to favor this plan, and ‘when it shall have been further discussed, it will doubt- Jess be brought to the attention of the Stock Exchange, ‘Whe intense dulness of the market, and the heavy ex- peuses incident toa broker’s establishment have be- come & matter of serious consideration and are compell- dng those who do business in Wall street and depend for their livelihood on the activity of trade, ‘to cast about thom for some feasible mode of relief. i ‘THE STOCK MARKET. ' Although, owing to the combined efforts of the “bulls” and the timidity of the few existing “‘bears,’” ‘the stock market to-day has shown some advance and @n apparent strength,'dulness was the principal fea- Sure, The total transactions aggregate less than 69,000 Shares. The situation may be briefly described as fol- fows:—A combination with its following of liliputian professionals has succeeded in advancing prices toa point that invites no new buyers. The cliques being ‘unable to sell their own holdings without causing a se- rious break, continue to talk ‘bull,’ while the follow- ers, fully comprehending the situation, believe that the feaders are compelled to makea further desperate ‘effort to advance prices, and are awaiting that event in order to realize upon what they have already pur- ehased. Hence the stagnation which for the past two ‘weeks has held the market as it were ina vice, Nearly Af not all of the privileges to deliver Pacific.Mail at 40 expired to-day, and while the priée was sustained at or above that point, reversals at 30 days were freely offered at 393g forl per cent, They found, however, ‘but few buyers.

Two special agents were sent on here by the ‘Treasury Department in December, 1874, for the pum pose of aiding the Collector in an investigation he was then conducting with a view to ascertain the per sons whose services could be dispensed with in his department, Six weeks were spent in going throug the Custom House. As a result it was decided to dia charge 150 employés, making a total yearly re: wctiom in expenses of about $200,000. Alter going through the different divisions the department was then put upon the lowest working clerical force, so that as present no reduction of the clerks can be made with- out interfering with the transaction of business. The present reduction is made because of the non- receipt of sufficient money by the Treasury from fines, penalties and forfeitures in amount large enough to admit of such expenditure as is needed here for the collection of tho revenue. Thesum which is lacking and which must be saved by reduction of expenses throughout the United States is $600,000 during the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends on the Ist of July, This reduction is unavoid- able, because the Secretary of the Treasury is not authorized to incur any obligations in excess of the ap™ Ppropriations for the collection of the revenue, The um- fortunate part of the business for New York is that the Custom House hore has to bear the largest part of the deficiency, Besides, a decrease in the revenue, grow- ing out of a depressed state of business, does not ware rant a proportionate reduction of the force employed in the collpction of the revenue, As many clerks are required to collect $100,000,000 as $150,000,000, The same number of transactions are, as a rule, necessary be the :mportations light or heavy, In making re ductions the Collector says, therefore, that he com siders it preferable to reduce salaries when be can con- sistently do so, One aifficulty in this respect exists in the fact that the salaries of about halt the employés are fixed by law, He feels satisfied, however, that those so situs ated will, without hesitancy, accede to a reduction ot their salaries, It the department feels that this volun- tary surrender can be approved of the reduction will commence with the Collector's own salary. If thi contemplated reduction were to be made by discharg- ing clerks the Collector says he would have to suspend business in some of the departments, ‘The present ex- penses he estimates at about $1,500,000 yearly, and the proportion to be saved will necessitate a reduction om that amount of fitteen per cent. The Collector says there is no institution of its kind in this or any other country the coat of running which is so small in pro portion to the amount of business transacted. ‘The deficiency which is improperly charged to the collection of the revenue belongs somewhere else. im it is included the cost of building the new public stores atthe corner of Laight and Washington streets, and the expenses of the new naval office, rent, &c To defray these expenses, amounting in all’ to some $300,000, an appropriation should have been obtained from Congress instead of compeiling the Custom House, now at its lowest working basis, to a still greater con- traction of its expenditures, The Coilector contrasted certain officials and their salaries in the federal and municipal services, showing that the city’s employés are paid twiceas well, evom allowing for the proposed reductions now under con- | sideration, as those in the service of the United States, This lact was not referred to because the city salaries were thought foo high, but because the Collector be- | lioves that federal compensation is at present as | low ag, if not lower, than it should be. COMPTROLLER GREEN. A call was next made upon Comptroller Green; but Mr, Green was not prepared to say much in addition to his recommendation to the Board of Apportionment on Saturday. He said he had had litte or no time since then to think about the matter of lower salaries, “Tam now engaged,” he said, “in investigating the salary question, ior the purpose of making such recom- | mendations as the facts justify for the guidance of the | Board of Apportionment, or for such legislation as may be found necessai JUDGE JOACHINSEN, ‘The next official seen was Judge P. J. Joachimsen, of | the Marine Court, The Judge spoke generally of the | attendants and clerks of the Court of which ne has been a judge {or more than tive years, their salaries and appointments. udge Joachimsen says that while the judges should have some control over appointMents there are objec- tions to their having full power of appointment. As it is, any judge can nominate, and au appointment ie made by three judges. The judges, necessarily, mast pay some attention to the dictates of party leaders, | The term of office is short, and any disregard of such } dictates is political suicide. The number of employée Messrs, Bass & Clark, dealers in teas, of No. 67 Park place, whose suspension was noted in yesterday’s Henao, eay that a statement will be submitted to their creditors ina few days, Their liabilities are said io be $200,000.

Charlick, of Pearsall’s, by Mrs. Mott, of Rockaway, for the loss of hor husband, who was killed at the Pearsall’s station on election day, as alleged, in consequence of being in- toxicated by liquor sold to bim by Charlick, At tho oot of the Queens County Court on Monday, Charlick was indicted by the grand jury for sellin, liquor without a heenge, On election day he ‘sold liquor in the same building in which the ted, aud iu the rogm above, Mot kwWelyo feet aways oll was situa. in the Marine Court might be advantageously reduced. At the last reorganization of the Court, in “1872, it was thought there would | be four trial terms, one special and ofe general | term, making six terms in all, and that each would re- quire a deputy clerk, and that as many more clerks | would be required in the offices. As the court, however, | nas no rooms for the accomodation of more tham | four parts there is no need of the extra clerks | Assistant clerks, too, might be dispensed with by adding & little to the pay of the stenographers and get- ting them to swear in witnesses, &c. This they could easily do, ag stenographers are always obliged to be tm attendance. Ordinary attendants, he thonghe, should be sent by the Police Commissioners, ‘then they would be under restraint, Compensation be settled by the Common Councik | At present there are employed in the Marine Court | eighteen attendants, twelve assistant clerks, three stonographers, one interpreter, one deputy clerk and one clerk. Judge Shea has a brother employed as as- ear, Judge Alker has a son- | in-law employed there as clerk at $2,500 and Judge | Grogs a cousin at $1,200, | "In other parts of the State court attendants are patd by the day and supplied by the Sheriff; but here a host of attendants are paid tor doing nothing during al- | most the entire summer, At present half the number of attendants and bulf the salary paid, Judge Joachim- gon thinks, would be amply suilicrent for the require- ments of the court. There are 2,000 untried causes om the calendar of tbe court, because accommodations have not been provided by the Common Council for the holding of ail the parts of the court provided by the law.
