FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL A Flurry in the Stock Market—Sharp Decline in Michigan Central. GOLD STEADY AT 113 1-8. Money on Call Loans 2 and 2 1-2 Per Cent— Foreign Exchange Quiet—Government and Railway Bonds Steady—In- vestments Generally Firm, Wat. Srreer, Wepvespay, April 19—6 P, M. THE SALES TO-DAY. The gentlemen who pull the wires on the Stock Ex- | ebange guve the marionettes of the Board a lively dance to-day, so faras fluctuations were concerned. Varia, tions in sbares were as frequent as the changes in the weather, and brokers doubted as to going long or short, as the non-financial commanity doubted whether it were going to rain or shine, The day opened gloomy enough,.for the clouds which had arisen from the ratl- road meeting last night broke with a downpour on the market, Lake Shore and Michigan Central bore the brunt of the storm and suffered severely, as the fall of the first from 564; of yesterday's closing price to 55, and of the second from 55 to 511 to-day, will show. As we inti- mated some days since, Michigan Central is looked upon ‘with an evil eye, and the course of the stock in to-day’s Dusiness shows that there exists some reason for it What this reason 1s founded on seems to be the fi that the company has cut out a coat too big for its cloth by its guarantee of leased roads that have so far proved @ burden rather than a profit, Apart from this, flattering inducements were held out to buyers, based upon promised favorable exhibits which have not been realized, and confiding investors | finding themselves decidedly the worse for their venture | ure getting out of their bargain with considerable more | alacrity than cash, Mr. Jay, the President of the com- | pany, is, of course, receiving many more kicks than halfpence (as though the decline in his stock was not punishment enough), and as regards a testimonial of merit will have to look to Western Union, in contradistinction to the ratlway fancies, has shown an extraordinary Ormness, which fw accredited toa number of causes. Prominent among these is the report that Mr, Orton has fallen in with some English capitalists and is negotiating with the Bame (with probable chances of success) for the sale of the Cuba cable at a price of £500,000, the cost of the same to the company having been less than one-half Yhat amount, Improbable as the story may seem, there were buyers to-day upon the rumor, who may be sellers to-morrow with quite as little reason. Prices for coal stocks are unsteady, and New Jersey Central is viewed with suspicion. There were sales of 093; regular, and at the close transactions at a differ- ence of one per cent between cash and seller 20. Beyond a stnall premium for the use of Contral and Budson, based on the opening of the book to-morrow, and a calling in of loaned stock for transfer, the gon- eral market was neglected under the greater attraction offered by Lake Shore and Michigan Central. ‘The transactions on the Stock Exchange to-day aggre- gated 192,000 shares, which were distributed as fol- w York Central and Hudson, 861; Erie, ; Lake Shore, 77,900; Northwestern, 1,100; do. preferred, 100; Rock Island, 890; Pacitic Mail, 16,500; St. Paul, 2,900; do. preferred, 2,800; Ohtos, 1,530; ‘Western Union, 43,750; Wabash, 500; Union Pacific, 400; Michigan Centrai, 24,030; New Jersey Central, 1,500. rs alone.

The Bank of England to-day gained the further large | sum of £215,000 bullion, and the opinion is expressed in London that the discount rate of the bank will be re- duced to-morrow. British consols and United States bonds are strong in London and higher, except the new fives, which are depressed there as here, ao that tho $5,883,000 to be sold next Monday may be obtained at a low price, Qutside the Bank of England the rate for prime three months’ discounts to-day 18 17% a2 per cent.

Increase in 1876... ‘ A Washington despateh states that Mr. Hewitt will offer a resolution instructing the Ways and Means Com. mittee, if not in violation of law, to Instruct the Ses- retary of the Treasury to sell the Geneva award bonds in suns as low as $1,000, and for currency. This is in entire accord with the views expressed in this column yesterday. The friends of Texas Pacific, in committee to-day, offered an amendment asking for eight years’ extension of time in which to build the road. A vote will prob- ably be taken on Friday. The Michigan Central Railroad Directors held a reg- ular meeting to-day, but nothing other than routine business was transacted. No meeting of railroad or freight agents was held to-day. A despatch from Chicago says:—“The Northwestern | general freight agents are at work getting outa new | tariff on Lowa freight and business. A reduction will | take place ail round, in order to put the road on a toot- ing with the Illinois Central, The new rates will take effect this week.’? The amount of capital involved In the recent United States Supreme Court decision upon the Illinois Rail. Toud cases 18 estimated between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000, It ts anticipated that, in consequence of the passage of the Silver bill by Congress, the government will absorb pretty much all the silver produced in the | United States for several months to come, There was no railroad meeting inthis eity to-day. The meeting last evening was attended by Vanderbilt, | Scott and Jowett, and broke up in a general row. A St. Lowis despatch says:—"'Tho levee opposite Hannibal has broken and over 100,000 acres of the best | land in the State is ander water, The railway tracks are washed away and millions of damage, it is feared, has been sustatned.’” NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE SALES Weoxxspay, April 19, 1874, BEFORE CALI—10 AL OM, 07, 100 she M Com REL... 5446 400 do. se + $76,912 ++ 72,090 22: 222 SHES S EL Te TPL Boo WwW 60 600 600 BB BREE BOARD—10 10 sh cu AF pie O4 wo Chie NW : Sith 4 er io , sun It 8's Jo ‘*e be U Paw vi Lat naneees the sensation of novelty will pass | 0113 a 112%; New Jersey Con- | | and Alton, 102; Producers’ Petroleum advanced to 110. | City bank shares sold as follows:—9 American Ex- * land grants, 3; per cent in Central Pacific gold bonds | ‘nt in Milwaukee and St. Paul (Lacrosse | division); a dectine of 4¢ per cent in Now York Central | quotations:—United States currency sixes, 126 a 12634; | 5000 Un Pac 7's, 1 g.. 40) Un Pue sinkt. 10000 do. 1000 11.00 Cen Pac gold b. ., 1000 West Pac bds.
