Events of the Week—The Stock Market Active and Feverish. THE MONEY AND GOLD MARKETS. The Investment Securities—The New Four and a Half Per Cents. —-——— Wait Street, Scspay, May 13, 1877, Tho past weok bas slipped by quietly with but little to ruffle the surface of the speculative current. Fluctua- tions have been confined to narrower limits than was the caso in preceding weeks, and at times dealings wero attended with positive dulness, This seems to be due to tho fact that the bear campaign which bad been car- ried on so long and so persistently’has at length been discontinued, if not stopped altogether, It is one thing, however, to tame a bear and file down his teeth, but quite another to transmute him into a bull Ho may ccase to rage furiously, like the heathen, but he Btill clings to the opinion that any belief in the long side of the account is to imagine a vain thing. This is about the view which the recent powerful bear party take of the situation, and which, while they have covered their shorts, prevents them from lending much ase sistance toward advancing the market. So, while they . regard further attacks as dangerous, they are equally ‘afraid to undortako a bull movoment, und coi Jauontty business droops through their absence, At the opening of the week the entire speculative list ex- hibited considerable strength, but the coal stocks soon began to show in bad form, and a general decliue took place, which was only partially recovered from at the close, although the compact between the au- thracite companies as to prices and limit of produc. sion is to go 1n force on the Ist of June, and possibly for that very reason they are meanwhile entering into a vory lively competition as t2 their coal sales, Free trade to the broadest extent is the rulo and fixed prices the exception, However satisfactory this state of things may veto tho dealer and consumer it is not likely to affect other than unfavorably the value of the stocks, and under this view a beavy selling movement began, which brought prices aown ag noted, Railway securities were alzo affected, but not to so great ap extent, partially from sympathy and partially from the action taken in reducing canal tolls and trom the reports that the crops at the West were being injured.by bad weather, The war telegrams Dave for the time being lost their influence; the great operators are rather theoretical than practical bulls; the public is as shy as a trout on a sunny day, and the market is mostly ja the bands of smnall traders, who bave bo other object in view than of using it for pot boning necessities. It 1s not likely, bowever, that the magnates of the street wi!l remain quiet very long, and we look for a brisk spoculation before affairs settio down to a condition of summer dulness, TRANSACTIONS OF THK WEEK.

THE WESTCHESTER POLO CLUB GROUNDS TO BE FORMALLY OPENED THIS WEEK—OUTLOOK FOR THE SEASON, On Saturday vext, 19th inst,, should the weatber prove pleasant, the grounds of the Westenester Polo Club will be opened for tho season of 1877. Incident to this event those ladies and gentlemen who were in- stromental in successfully oarrying through the “assemblies” of the past winter in this city will give grand garden party on the grounds, and fashion and beauty will take part in somo of the outdoor sports, sach as lawn tennis and archery, of late becoming very popular withthe fair sex. Teains will probably be chosen from among the members of the club present, and the iret polo games of the season then played. Everything is in readiness for the occasion, The grounds and surroundings are in excellent orier and look: lovely. Six- teen ponies are in the stables, under the charge of Mr. Biusson, all iu good health and looking in that form which polo ponies require, The long stretch of lawn never looked more beautiful than now, In the club house everything is in order for visitors, and as 1 be old steward of the Four-in-Hand Club been secu: for the season it is sate to predict eg the cuisii wait have proper attention. Not will the lawn next Saturduy prove attractive to the participants, but the evening has boen set apart for a grand danco, which promises to be a diting conclusion to a day of healthtul pleasure. It is expected that on Wednesdays and Saturdays of each week succeeding the openicg members will either practise or play, aud thus cultivate that spirit of frioudly emulation which 1s the svul of all honorable contests, Those who have taken to polo a# au outdoor exercise emphatically express their approval of the Tecreation, as it begets a sjrength ot limb and lung, quickness of eye and a presence of mind which are very serviceable to tne individuals possessing them. Poi> is a great enemy to dyspepsia aud general debility, and lor this, beside other reasons, it is very useful pastine, The members of tho Polo Club have provided themselves with new uniforms, and it 1s surmised that the opeving battle on Saturday next will possess as much interest as the most exciting matches of last year created, for each side will “go in to wio,’”? The winning team, it will bo sale to predict, will not be credited with a hollow victory. While the Westchester grounds have received the great care demunded those at Newport have not been forgotten, anu the muny attractions of that famous Watering place will again tuts summer be enhanced by polo playing, The outlook for a successiul season Ol the exciting sport al that velightlul retreat is very promising.
