FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
Saturday, Not, 28?? p. M.
Cold opened at 134%, roue to 136 and remained
Steady until after the government eate, when It re
lapsed to 134 V- An advance su ?jsequently took
ijiaco and the price rose to 135%, at which It re
warned Arm the rest of the day, with a temporary
ftdvauce to 136% Just before the adjournment of the
gourd. The transactions were not extensive and the
market mlgUt be called dull. The firmness in price
?t the close was due in a measure to the announce
ment by cable of another large decrease In the bul
lion of the Kank of France. The government gold
'tirought 136.06 and was sold In one award.
$600,000 more will be' aold on Monday to
make up the amount for this week-one business
day being lost by the occurrence of Thanksgiving?
and daring the five remaining days of next week
$1,600,000 additional will be disposed of In lota of
<300,000 per day. Cash gold was In plentiful supply
during the forenoon, and the loaning rate ranged
from flat for borrowing to 6 per cent for carrying.
In the afternoon there was an Increased borrowing
demand, and loans were made as high as i-m. Tho
range in price la shown In the following table:?

The gross clearings at the Gold Exchange Bank
were $78,266,000. the gold balances $2,414,013 and
the currency balances $3,697,023. The steamer Ville
de Paris took out $642,103 in specie.
The statement of tha associated banks for the
week ending to-uay shows an increase In circula
tion of $0<j,ooo and a decreaso in legal tenders or
aver $100,000,000. An increase In loans Is counter
balanced by an almost equal lncreaso la deposits.
The totals as compared with lost week are as fol
lows:?

The differences are set forth as follows:?
Inc. case lu loans ?.i 204 Qtu
Decrease in specie '
Increase in circulation ' gyVos
Increase 111 deposits 8,308,*496
Decrease in legal tenders 1,159,738
Tlie decrease in legal tenders 19 readily accounted
for by the saics of goverumcntgold. but the decrease
to specie creates considerable speculation as to tho
cause. The customs receipts during the week were'
about $1,803,000 and the export of specie about
$600,000, making a total of $4400,000. But the gov
ernment sales amounted to $2,500,000, leaving a
clear margin for a better exhibit of specie on the
part of the bunks. Tue decrease of a bullion and a
half has, therefore, very naturally suggested the Idea
fil a "lockiug up" of gold. Jt is Ba:d In this con
nection that the gold bought at the government sales
was put away by some of the purchawa with the
view 01 making a "squeeze'' next week.
Money was without any change. The backs were
more treely offering at six, aad the rate was Ave and
six between stock houses, with exceptional transac
tions at four. The bank statement is favorable to
continued ease in money, for while the increase In
loans is equal to the increase in deposits there is a
large luurg.n in the increase of deposits of the previ
ous week out of which to make a good off
set against tho decrease in legal tenders. Com
mercial paper was duller to-day. .M ilters are fewer la
kluies of easy money. Buyers were not inclined to
conoede a diminution In rates. Foreign exchange
was weaker, good bankers' selling down to lee % and
prime bankers' at 109%. There is less tone to the
exchange market In view of the fact that the receipts
of Coi.'ou ut the various home ports for the weea
have been four thousand bales in excess of last
week. The shipment of tills Increase will furnish a
larger supply of bills. And, again, tho "short" in
terest in governments, which, it was expected,
would require an extensive rcshlpmeut or bonds, has
been largely over estimated.
Tho stock market was s'rong at the opening, and
aecenaive In the Dong Room after tho second open
board. New York steadily advanced to 124%
a rise of 2\ upon the closing price of last night. Be
fore the cud of business it settled back to 128% a
12s%. 'l he consolidation of two of the express com
panies attracted emotion to the express stocks,

REAL ESTATE MA ITERS.
What Ilaa Been Bone Burin* the Week?A
I (lock on Broadway?Prospects of the
Market*
The week Jnst closed has been, in respect of auc
tion sales of city property, the dullest since the sus
pension of operations of that kin1 during the heated
term. Tills condition, however, has not resulted
from any falling off of interest In real estate specu
lation, bat was solely occasioned by the accldeut
which so damaged the Exchange Salesroom as to
render It temporarily unflt tor occupation. Previous
announcements bad held forth the promise of a busy
time, and the forced postponement of sales thus oc
casioned has been much regretted by all classes of
dealers, holders, factors, simulators and those de
siring to Invest.
The week has not, however, been wholly destitute
of business, on Tuesday sales were held at the
commercial Exchange and City Salesrooms, Brook
iyn?the former by James Coles' fori, an I the latter
by llvkoif A Little, ol llrooklyn, Improved and un
improved property; ami on Wedm-day A. J.
H meeker, Son a Co. di sposed of ut public auction,
the sale being held on tiic ground, ..on aits situated
a short distance from Jersey City. Both saies ex
hibit good results and appreciative prices. The sate
ofbrookiyn improved property on Tuesday amounted
to $>>5,700, ami of unimproved property ?i-i,
b.-ing a total of $110,326. The sale ol New Jcr-ev
lots on Wednesday amounted to $60,22$, making a
grand totai fortue< k's auction aai.s of $.60.jso.
One of tiie heaviest sales that lone yet been made
of a single piece of property la tins city was effected
yesterday by -Ylesam. .smith ?t Clarxe, teal estate
brokers. The property comprises the entire block
bounded l>y Itroanlway and Sixth avenue, thirty

and 1.5 fee: nu Thirty-fourth street, Willi tha hun t

amouiu oi the purchase money is $7oo,ou0.
While calling aitcution to this sa c as one Indica
tive of the rut 11 appreciation v hieh real estate pro
perty on Sew York Island is exhibiting, It I* by no
means an exceptional li..itancc. At a corporation
sale that occurred in the year i*45 the property ex
truding from Twen'y-cL.tUh to Thirty-sixth

to the wealth of the district, but an important con

the year now bending to Its decline a large number
of speculators have invaded New Jers '.V, and pro

KEWARK.
In few cities outside of New York has such a very
great change lu the value of real estate taken place
within the 'ust year or so as this city. Within tnat
period property has steadily increased in value until
now it has reached from fifty to a hundred per ceut
advance, according to location, ou the tlgures of a
year ago. This fact is chieily attributable to the
desire ol New Yorkers to obtain eligible surburbau
re alienees within easy accessof business. In tills lat
ter respect Newark is largely favored. Two Hues of
railroad run through It and another Is rapidly ap
proaching completeness. The^e are the New Jersey
Kailroad, the Morris and Essex Uailroad and the
Newark and New York Kailroad. The former has no
less than three depois??one at Market street, one at
Centre street aud one at Chestnut street. Twenty
eight trams stop at, the Market street
depot coming and going aud about half that
number at Hie others. The Morris and Essex Had
road runs about the same number. The depot, of the
latter Is located up town, in the northern section of
the city, an I Is b> no means as well patronized by
Newarkers as the New Jersey. This is owing, how
ever, not to the hberaiuy or accommodations of the
latter, but from the convenience ot tae depots. Fire
long iin* new railroad wdl be lu opera,ion. Ihc au
thorities of this road promise largely. They state
that uiey will run passengers from Broad street io
the loot or Liberty street inside of twelve minutes
uud ul less tuan halt the tare charged by the other
corporation. A curious lilt e inconsistency in the
tarn! of the New Jersey Kailroad is the fact that a
commutation ticket to E.izabettl can he purchase!
lor liity-tlve dollars, while Newark commuters arc
charged sixty dollars, 'the carious portion is that
Newark Is nearer by four or live mi.es than Eliza
beth. The Central itallroud has a depot at the lat
ter place, wuich of course accounts for the
Inconsistency, it taxes only a few minutes more
tnau half an hour to rule from Newark to New York,
so that the City llail aud its vicinity are much sooner
readied tnau 1 rom tae subu. <s of Brooklyn, York
vide or llariein. Newark is .ntlultely nearer than
Westchester county. Having plenty of good schools,
churches, public parks, flue drives aud a plentiful
supply of excellent water uud gas, It oders large in
ducements to pers ms doing business lu the metrop
olis, bat di s,rous of escaping tho high reals and
iaxe? incident to a residence there. In the central
part of Hie city, on the mala business thoroughfare
Broad otreet?a piece of property, measuring forty
bought til
tour feet lront, that was bought three years ago lor
$16,800, has been sold within tne past year for $32,000.
Anoiuer lot on the same block that brought only
$7,coo inside of ten years couid not now lie purchased
under $36,ouo. 'The value of residences has increased
in a like ratio. Nor is the climax in price yet reached,
for scarcely a day passes but the tlgures of the pre
ceding one ure placed at a higher a titude. Respect
able real estate agents state that people are continu
ally dropping In and raising the price of their houses

The parade of the First dlvtmou, National Guard,
on the anniversary of Evacuation Day was the floes'
we have seen for manv years. All the roglmeuta be
haved remarkably well. The solid appearanco of
the splendid Seventh: the easy, swinging gait of the
Twenty-second, and the ateadlnesa of these aud of tne
I Ninth, Eighth and Eleventh was tho theme of general
remark. Tlie Forty-seventh Brooklyn was in app ur
aucc and the regularity ot Its movements and match
mg not a whit Inferior to any of those named, but,
on the eonirary, suggesiod tho tuougtit that the City
of Churches was running our crack regiments so
vcrv dose that It was difficult to determine whetliei
the New York regiments could still claim superiority.
It Is a magnificent corps, of which Brooklyn Is justly
proud. It was erroueou-uy stated that the division
did not move from Fourteenth street until alter toe
hour specified In orders. Tho order to march was
given at two precisely, b it, as was Intended to be
said, it was some time alter that when the rtar oi
tho column passed into Union square.
