NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1876. 7 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL ‘The Events of the Week—The Course of the Stock Market and Its Suggestions. MOVEMENTS IN CURRENCY AND GOLD. Strength in Government Bonds, Express Stocks and Invest- ment Securities. Wau Srezer, Sunpay, Feb. 13, tate. } Fifteen years ago Leotard, the acrobat, made a fame ‘and possibly a fortune at the circus of the Champs Elysées in Paris, when he hit upon the novelty of the \flying trapeze. His tmitators have been numbered by ‘hundreds, most of whom have proved themselves more skilful athletes than he was. ‘The past week’s business of the Stock Exchange may be symbolized by the movement of the flying trapeze, ‘Prices have swung through the are ofa circle, first downward, then up, and then down again, while vemulous dealers, copying Leotard, have essayed to make their turn on the market, as did the performer on his horizontal bar. There is a difference, however, between Leotard and ‘the broker. The first attracted an admiring public, ‘which paid its»money to see the show; the second Gyrated ‘to a crowd of professional rivals, who con- tributed more commendation than cash. Perhaps, however, a rehearsal at the Stock Exchange may be as useful as one atthe theatre, and in view of the centennial season, which is expected to draw such mammoth houses, it is desirable that performers shall learn well how to act their part. So far, in spite of some apparent activity in the light of a public interest, the salle of the Exchange, he shows but a “beggarly account of empty boxes.” ‘There have been plenty of participants, out they have all been professionals. There has been a great deal more practice than pay, and the outside public, who “possess tho coveted dollars, cannot be lured into the @peculative market just now at any price. This is not an assertion made at random, but is stated on the authority of a well known commission house and the bulk of commission brokers in the Board, Members who have depended upon the custom ‘which springs from a widely spread speculative spirit find their condition but little improved, while they ap- Preciate the fact that a certain chosen few, who are the hangers-on of the chief manipulators, obtain a Batisfactory amount of orders, This proves the truth of our opinion, more than once advanced, that the vagaries of the market are controlled solely by the professional operators, who may elect to force a rise to-day or compel a fall te- morrow. It is not likely, however, under the present aspect of Ulings (which comprises certainly a hopeful outlook, coupled with a determination that, willy-nilly, ‘the future shall be better) that there is much money to ‘be made by selling stocks short. The arrow has been drawn pretty well to the head, but there is but little danger that the bow will break under the tension. Shares may, and probably wiil, sway backward spas- modically, but there appears to be nothing to create a permanent reaction. Present holders aro strong, ‘money is cheap and likely to be so, and confidence is gaining slowly upon the community, After a time the public, which now looks at the mar- ket with the eye of suspicion, becoming used to en-. §hanced prices and having a few dollars (6 spare in its pocket, may venture in as a buyer andrelieve the over- laden operators who are struggling under the heat and burden of the day, It is certainly the métier of the bull party to keep things moving, and if the play is a little dull just now ‘we muy safely anticipate a brilliant display of fre works at the end.

The supply of money during the week and the lower Fates estavlished are strongly indicative of continued ease in this department, The range on call loans was Detween 23 and 4 per cent, but the majority of trans- factions were ou the basis of 8 percent, In the dis sount market prime cominercial paper has passed at 436 and 644 per cent, but the supply is [imited. Foreign exchanges have been firmer, and, owing to the small offerings of commercial bills, rates were advanced, The following are quotations for CURRENCY PAPER. Sizty Days. Four Months.

The latter, however, has re- mained comparatively steady between 112% @ 11356. The following are the GOLD FLUCTUATIONS FOR THE WEEK.

Tho favorites tor the moment are new dives, ten-fortics and the bonds of 1865 and 1807. ; RAILBOAD BONDS, ‘These have been in fair request and in the main show improvement. The Union and Central Pacifics and the granger securities have probably enjoyed the largest advance, but the friends of other lines bave not been | “backward in the expression of faith in higher prices. ‘Hannibal and St Joseph eights met with a sharp decline, owing, it is said, to unwise statements regard- ing the condition of the road and the probability of a payment of the interest, said to emanate from the mew president; but the recovery was as prompt as the decline, and the incident left behind no other remi- niscence than that stockjobbers had been using high places for their purposes. The repeal of the Potter law 1s anxiously awaited, and yet it may turn out that its effect is already discounted. STATE BONDS. While State bonds are quiet there is, nevertheless, am apparent desire on the part of careful investors to take advantage of present low prices. The new South Carolina funded bonds have advanced in conseqnence of the strength developed by Governor Chamberlain and his determination to administer the finances of the State on the most economical principles, The debt of the State is now less than $7,000,000. Tennessees aro firm, Missouris steady, Louisianas quiet, and Texas gold bonds among the best of thts class now offering, EXPRESS STOCKS during the week have exhibited more than ordinary life and strengtn. Chief among these are United States and Wells-Fargo, both of which have moved up sharply. Adams and American are likewise attract- ing attention from their sympathy with the improve- ment, It is said that all of these lines are earning handsome profits, and that this fact accounts for the advance. THE COAL COMPANIES, on the other hand, have suffered, owing to the break- ing up of the combination heretofore existing and the failure to agree upon new terms and prices for the en- suing year, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and New Jersey Contral declined 8 and 444 per cent respec- tively from the highest prices of the week. Reading is also lower, A WORD OF CAUTION. It has been suggested, and not without propricty, that brokers and bankers will do well to caretuliy scrutinize the various bonds, shares and certificates in which they daily deal. The opportunity for the opera- tions of a bold forger may not yet have been used; but when suspicion is disarmed, men are careless by habit in scrutinizing the securities which pass through their offices. When a few thousand dollars will provide plates, and a deft hand can imitate signatures calcu- lated to deceive the expert, a reminder of danger is proper. ‘This suggestion is made for the benefit of all business men. It need excite no present alarm, but should engender watchfulness. DOMESTIC MARKETS.

RUBENSTEIN. HOW THE CONDEMNED MAN TAKES HIS SEN- TENCE—HIS PHYSICAL CONDITION AND APPE- ‘TITE. The topic of conversation most general in the city of Brooklyn yesterday was the conviction and sentence of Pesach N, Rubenstein, the murderer of Sara Alexan- der, 1t was conceded as a most remarkable case in the annals of crime, and, inasmuch as the conviction was Procured solely upon circumstantial evidence, and though the latter was of the strongest and most un- questionable character, it was regarded as a great vic- tory for the prosecuting officers for the people. The utmost circumspection is said to have been necessary to circumvent the active ageucies of the rela- tives and friends of the prisoner to frustrate the officers of the law, Many persons to whom the detectives were guided in the earlier stages of preparation of the case, and from whom they obtained strong links upon which to forge the chain of evidence, subsequently denied the statements which they had made, so that they could not be called to the witness stand. Others shrunk through timidity, disliking to have themselves identified in any shape with the trial A conductor on one of the De Kalb avenue cars with whom the pris- oner rode down from East New York on the fatal Sun- day evening at first {dentified the prisoner positively, and at a later stage in the case it was found that he could not be made available, as he would not swear positively as to the identification, Some people moved away from their residence and tho officers lost all trace of them, Pub- lic sentiment in the result is evidently one of satis- faction, as the verdict is declared to be a righteous one, The jury was an exceptionably fine class of mon, That they had no faith in the sworn testimony in sup- port of an alibi is clear from the promptness with which they rendered their verdict after a brief de- liberation, On Saturday night Rubenstein was hanged in etligy from tho upper branches of a tree on Cum- berland’ street, near De Kalb avenua The figure was cat down by a policeman and removed to the Myrtle avenue station house, RUBENSTEIN [W JATL. The writer visited the jail yesterday afternoon for the purpose of making inquiry as to the manner in which the wretched man accepted his sentence of death, it being reported that he bad declined food of any de- scription. Keeper Stinson and his deputy, Mr. Julian, stated that there was no change in his manner since his return to the jail on Saturday evening. Mr, Julian gaid:—“Shortly after enver- ing his cell, which is im tho ‘Murderers’ Row,’ lower tier, No. 14, adjoining the one which Rogers oc- cnpied, he was questioned in German by a young man as to the proceedings in court, and he pretended not to know that he had been sentenced to death, He asked me if it was dark yet, and I told him it was. Then he asked, ‘Which is the east side?’ as he always turns his face in that direction, toward Jerusalom, when he prays. Ho then started to chant his’ Hebrew psalins in a low tone of yoice, We leave his cell door open, and he has a short space of corrider in which to exercise if he desires. We keep aman to watch him now that he is under sentence, so that it will be impossible for him to do anything to make away with himself, should be try to do so, His father and brother Jacob followed him down here on Saturday evening aud wanted to see him, but it was too late, There is no trath m the report that he does not eat. He has eaten a loaf of bread, three apples and a raw salt herring, besides having drunk half a bottle of root beer since he returned from court. He won’t starve on that,” Should he starvo himself to death,” chimed fn one of the keepers here, ‘ho will make a very homely corpse,” » *, Jaiian continued :—‘Rabenstein passed the time from Saturday evening till two o'clock yesterday morn- ing in his devotions and walking about his cell; then he Jaid down on his cot and slept tor a few hours, being on his feetagain at daybroak. He is in the harness now,”’ referring to straps with which he" aeccures to his fore- head and arms small tablets of the Hebrew Scriptures while in prayer. Dr. A. W. Shepard, the jail physician, who happened to come in during the reporter's visit, said that Raben- stein would not starve to death, even were he so dis- pete The Doctor said that he had a pump with which e could at any time, if necessary, inject a quart of fresh milk into the stomach. The Doctor said he had ‘on a certain occasion to use the instrament with a fol. low who refused food for five days, and that after first dose of milk the pump was not needed, as the would-be skeleton took kindly to his rations. As for the prisoner, Dr, Shepard said he was not starved, by any mneans; his muscle was as strong as whipcor though there was no fat there. He is sinewy, and there is no danger of death at present apparent in the prisoner’s physical condition. . THE SCAPYOLD. For years past, when executions—those of Gonzales, Pellicier and Rogers—have taken place in the yard of the Raymond Street Jail, it has been the custom for the Sheriff to borrow the Tombs scaffold. Yesterday the jailers were discussing the fact that should Dolan’s ‘sentence of death be carried into effect on March 24, the date set apart for Rubenstein’s execution, Brooklyn would have to undertake the expense of constructing a scaffold and finding a hangman other than Isaacs. INIERVIBW WITH MR. ALEXANDER, In conversation with Mr. J. P, Alexander, brother of “the assassinated Sara Alexander, he stated to a Henao reporter, respecting the sentence of death pai upon Pesach N. Rubenstein, ‘I did not cause Pesach’s ar- rest, directly or indirectly, and I am innocent of his death. To sayeabrother from the gallows I would have committed porary. like some ot the condemned man’s witnesses have done. I think that false swear- ad is justifiable in such acase. If I had known, or If my poor murdered sister had confessed to me that NM frankly Pesach had seduced her, 1 would have told while a witness. I believe in telling the tr with a reservation like that I have jusi told you. Aprglvg ne aber Side for attempting to blacken m: chai 3 Tt Part of their tactics, My sister, who has been in court Since thé comiiéncomont of the trial, is fairly heartbroken over her sister’s untimely end. Terrible perjury has been committed to savo Pesach, butI do not biame his relatives for this. His friends and acquaintances Ido. The evidence given that Ru- benstein only possessed one shirt is not true; he had lenty of clothes and was worth several thousand dol- lars itubenstein was very fond of Sara and kept in her company a good de She thought him a good man,” DROWNED. A YOUNG LONIONER JUMPS FROM A FEERY- BOAT TO SAVE A STRUGGLING GIRL AND Is ‘LOST. While nobly endeavoring to save the life of a drown- ing woman yesterday Thomas Wells, a young Lon- doner, met his death, The scene was at the South ferry pier, on the New York side, and the time was | half-past ten o’clock A.M. The ferryboat Columbus | was preparing to start on its trip to Brooklyn, when a | young woman, careworn in appearance, hurried on | board and hastened to the forward part of the boat. A | minute afterward she sprung into the water. The ex. | cited cry of “Woman overboard,” uttered by those who had witnessed the act, soon brought all the pas- sengers to the spot, Ropes were quickly procured and thrown over and grappling hooks were let down from | several places. The unfortunate woman rose to the surface, struggled wildly and sunk again. Among the passengers manipulating the ropes in the effort to rescue the drowning woman was Wells, who seeing hopo fast receding, determined upon a different course. Divesting himself of coat and hat he plunged into the river. A strong tide carried him off a short distance, and, to the liorror of the look- ers.on, ho sunk. By this time one of the grappling books, manipulated by Oilicer Ryan of the First pre- cinet, had caught in the woman's clothing, and a few moments later she was landed on the deck living bat unconscious. While some made efforts to revive her others turned their attention to the brave fellow batthng with the waves. The hooks were moved in all direc- tions, but the tide had carried him beyond their reach, and he was not seen again. For hours the ferry hands continued their search, but nnavailingty. The young woman lying on the deck was soon re- stored to consciousness and borne to the New street station house. There she sufficiently recovered to enter into conversation with Captain Potty, to whom sho told her history. s THR WOMAN'S HISTORY. Her name, she said, was Emily Anderson and her | soventeon years.

A statement has been made by Commissioners _Mar- tin and Joseph J. Donohue, of the Department of Public Parks, in reference to the operations of the department. The statement opens by saying that the appearance of Commissioner Stebbins béfore the Sen- ate Investigating Committee was made without the previous knowledge ot his colleagues, and ne made an erroneous report to that committes regarding the de partment, The dissenting Commissioners also remark | that as Mr, Stebbins insists on making individual state- | ments his course leaves no other alternative to his | associates than to present their individual report to the Board, with the correct view of the operations and | policy of the department, to ask their concurrence in it, and, if they failto receive’ 1t, to publish the report for themselves, H ‘The operations of the department during 1875 show | the following action and changes, all of which are in the tine of increased economy and efficiency. uary, 1875, Mr. Ryan held the office of Superintendent, and wag also lessee of the restaurants, This double holding was @ violation of the 101st section of the charter, Mr. Ryan was forced to resign, and the du. ties of Superintendent were added to those of the Superintending Architect, Mr. Munckwitz, He has performed the duties in 1875 for $5,000, which cost the department in 1874 $5,000 for Superintendent and $4,500 for Superintending Architect, His professional attainments as architect and engineer, and his superior practical ability srctate seap mretoe have given great efti- ciency to the work of the department. The police force has been remodeled and tmprovea inefficiency. The abuses of favoritism have been ter- minated, and there can be no shirking under his su- pervision, The visitors have been protected from pickpockets and the other disorders and annoyances attempted during the summer season, Areform has been made in the Gardening Depart- ment vy the appointment of Mr. Fischer, a man of su- perior professional ability, ata saving of $1,700 por annum, and by taking the control of the gardening force from the foremen of laborers and placing it more directly under the contro! of the landscape archi- tect. The beneficial results of this change upon the general beauty and effect of the Park have already been manifested, and they will become more apparent during the ensuing year. The preparation of plans has been ordered for an ex- tension of the menagerie buildings westward of the Musoum so as to accommodate all the antmals under the charge of the department. The clerical force and the subordinate officers of the department are too many in number, aud some of them are receiving compensa- tion disproportionate to their services. Several at- tempts have been made to remedy this during the year, but they have failed to receive the assent of the Board: The payroll and vouchers sent down to the Comptrol- ter’s office have been subjected vo his criticism and he has in many cases interposed obstructions and delays, They have, however, all of them been overoome and the year closed with all the requisitions and payrolls of the departmont paid up. Heretofore heavy license fees have been imposed upon the boat service; the carriages, the goat wagons, fhe ponies, &e., with’ the result of bringing in afew housand dollars to the sinking fund, impairing the ser- vice and impoverishing the licensees. The new ar- rangement will forego @his acquisition to the sinking tund and compensate the public with enlarged service, better material, equipment and attendance, and with lower rates of payment. This will result in a greater benefit to the people who frequent the Park. In the general work of construction and of improvements many benoficial changes have been ma ‘The unfinished works on the Central Park have been substantially completed, and with the exception of the gates, the enclosing walls at its northern end and the adjacent slopes tho area of the Park presents a finished appearance, so far as all works projected up to this time are cohcerned, The architectural structures and bridges have also toa creat extent been put im thor- ough repair. The neglected lakes and ponds have also been ordered to be thoroughly cleaned and the work will be completed this winter. On all the other parks under the care of the dopart- ment some work has becn done to make them more serviceable to the people. The unfinished fountains in City Hall Park, in Union square and Madison square have been nearly completed. The progress of tho work on Tompkins square as a park and military parade ground combined is of great importance to the peoplo who live about it, and this work is fairly started 80 as to be completed early in the coming season, There have been no funds for relayiug the walks in the City Hall Park, but this work has been provided for in the ensuing season. The plans for the annexed district, which were the result of the work of the civil and topographical engi- neers for savers zeers, havo not been adopted by the Board, New plan's have beéh éfde¥ed under the airec- tion of Mr. Olmsted, the landscape architect, upon the principle of park treatment—that is, of roads which conform to the natural surface, and which develop, in- stead of destroy, the eminences and other valuable fea- tures of private property.

A more thorough and accurate system of inspection of street construction work has been prepared for the coming year. Two new bridges have been greatly needed over the Harlem River for the accommodation of the peoplo al- ready there and to facilitate the increase of population. The sites of the bridge from Madison avenue to 138th street, and also of the Suspension Bridge half a mile north of the High Brid, have been determined, and some progress has been made in the preparation of the plana; but the applications of the department to the Bo rd of Estimate and Apportionment for money have | fot been acted apon, Proceodings to acquire title to the lands fed for the approaches to the Sufpension | Bridge bave been commenced, A new draw has been placed at the Central Bridge, and that dilapidated struc- ture bas been repaired sufli¢iently for the present travel, Rapid progress has been made in the building of the Museum of Art. The external walls and the iron frame of the roof are erected, and the plans and specitications for its completion have been ordered. A new plan was adopted for the construction of Riverside avenue, by which park and avenue treatment are blended into one and a great Gok # of expense ts effected. This was rendered necessary by the want of foresight in the determination of the original lines of the improvement and by the excessive expense which would havo been | incurred in an attempt to carry them out. The Board | have adhered to their legal proceeding for acquiring title to the military parade ground, and have refused | to discontinue it. There is stil room for much reform In the adminis- tration of the department upon subjects which have | been presented to the consideration of the Board, but | which have not yet been acted upon. Many of the existing abuses are found, on investigation, to have ‘ablished under former administrations &nd toe) be defended on that ground and because of the persons whom the anaes would affect. The efforts at reform | are checked at these points by this resistance. As the statement of ‘Commissioner Stebbins is the occasion of this report it is due to him to state that none of the changes indicated were initiated by him and that many of them encountered his opposition, even although they nally received his vote.
