Coin En Route to America?A Still Hopeful View of the Situation. GOLD STEADY AND ACTIVE. The Foreign Market in a Slight Ferment? Advance in the Bank Rate. CLOSING AND OPENING OF STOCKS. Wall Strbt, J Monday, Sept. 29?6 P. M. j Not A cloud, even so lance as a man's hand, could >e discerned to-day on the horizon of Wall street, and It was only here ami there that one heard a doubt expressed that the iorce of the storm has not passed away, to be succeeded by a healthier . calm. Money was easier, loaning with considerable ' freedom at V per cent and Interest. This In Itself was significant. The bankers considered apian for the purchase of exchange and the movement of * .crops. This was also encouraging. The hubTreasurer began the payment of the anticipated November interest?likewise a hopeful sign?while the reports pouring In across the ocean cable, of gold en route and a buoyant market In London, served to cap-sheaf all the encouraging features of the situation and give to men more hopclul faces and cheerier voices than they have had for a week. The GRAND INTEREST OF THE HOUR * is concentrated upon the possibilities that attach to the opening and conduct ol the Stock rlxchatigu to-inorrow; and it is not too much to say that less apprehension is felt as the day closes, and since ! the publication of the resolutions of the governing committee, the salient points of which are:?First, that all parties to unsettled contracts shall furnish a satisfactory principal or furnish a margin In cash or securities, or be regarded as insolvent. Second, [ 1 that rule 25, which closes contracts in default, be suspended as to existing contracts for three days, and that a committee be appointed to determine the market price at which the contracts of defaulting parties shall be settled. Third, that all contracts be settled by satisfactory certified checks, good in the Clearing House, and no demand for greenbacks or currency be allowed. From the present LIGHT UPON TnE SUBJECT ' it 1b difficult to conceive ol a wiser policy that could have been adopted. It partakes of a treatment that Is at once heroic and allcvlattve. There is nothing homoeopathic in the administration of the medicine, but, at the same time It applies the principle, "Similia aimttlbun curantur." The grave question now to be considered is as to the course of speculation. For more than a week there has t been no market save that established in the street, where prices have widely fluctuated, depending entirely upon the character of the transactions I and the financial outlook of the moment. These . prices may or may not nave been artificial; but, in i either case, it would seem to be impolitic to ac- ! cept them as the basis of the renewed business in ! the Board. There are two contingencies about which it is well at this junctuic to ask a few questions. First, CAPITAL TO A LARUE AMOUNT is said to be awaiting the opening of the Stock Ex' change, and the owners thereof hope to avail themselves of reasonably low prices in order to make a profitable investment. If the market opens with an unnatnral in nation is it not reasonable to suppose that this capital will be frightened away, | especially if, as Is confidently anticipated, high ! prices are followed by a sudden decline ? Will not ! this fact in itself indicate instability and naturally delay the opportunity for investment? in other words, would it not be more advantageous from a <k general standpoint to commence at the bottom and work upwards than to commence at the top, then trip and tumble? Second, If there be any benefit to accrue from THE RISE IN STOCKS, will It not be attended with an unhealthy and dangerous excitement ? No one can tell at this moment bow many really broken firms there are in the Stock Kxcnan"?. who in their anxiety to preserve credit wH? wi.diy push prices to tnclr extreme. Ia- ti:e Stool; Exchange as a body more willing to stauu by these gentlemen, however worthy they may be?perhaps at the expensp > of a new panic?than to acquire additional work- | ing capital, for whtcn the broker community have i hoon nruvintr for l.hn last two veurs. and wlllch Will 1 only show itself when prices are at a lair miu! luium r It Is said that higher prices will elicit THI CONFIDENCE OF THE MONEY LENDERS. No prudent man will lend greenback* or any other currency at this peculiar time on a security that has in Itself either an element or symptom of unsteadiness. Hence ir the market* shows soon after the opening the pressure of unnatural forces, the presence of a body of men who are Intent imply on personal salvation, and who may "lose their heads" In thetr endeavors to regain their credit, sacrificing at the same time In their impatience the good of the rest of the fraternity, Is It not prudent, is it not the suggestion of good judgment, la It not essential to the absolute welfare of the entire situation In all Its length and ^ breadth that Individual members of the stock Exchange shall exhibit sense, reticence and conservatism In the freest meaning of these terras, to the end that they may successfully contribute the large Influenoe that must flow from a discriminating use of their business opportunities? Those who desire answer to these questions will And the logical Influences amply conclusive. As regards TEE VALUE OF STOCKS there Is really little to be said, but It Is a proposl Clon not requiring demonstration thai by their recent contraction the purchasing power of a I greenback in tta relation to the stock market has augmented from five to fliteen per cent. In other words, while our currency has been actually inflated to the extent of say fflS.ooo.ooo during the I'ttBi ne?, ivs purcnasing power dm noi oniy increased, bat Its value, In comparison with a certified bank check, Is represented by a premium of from three to Ave per cent. This is another of the curious anomalies of the situation. THX OOLD MAHKET to-day did not appear to he directly affected In its fluctuations by other than lucat Influences. How ( far It may have been agitated by indirect causes, auch as the news ot shipments from England, the payment ol the November Interest on the public debt, a possible future deraaud for coin or a disposition to "lock up," It is difficult to say. The market showed no unnsual excitement, although active. The price opened at lie ft, declined to 112ft, i rallied to 112ft a 113, went off again to lllft, witu a rally to 112ft a 112ft a 112ft. Loans were made at flat to ft per cent for use; but at the opening and close loans were free of Interest to either borrower or lender. After the market an offer of $ftO,000 in gold was made for luflft In currency. This approximately represents the difference between greenbacks and certified checks. The prices of gold to-day were? 10 A. M 113ft 11 :M> A. M 112ft A, M IW.ft ?;i)7 l\ M......... 112,ft Si NEW YORK loan A. M 11* 11:0* r. * 112* 10:06 A. M 112* 12:10 P. M 112* 10:06 A.

THE CROPS, The feeling Is one of improvement, and dealers are geuerally hopeful concerning the action oi the bankers, who, having had a consultation to-day on the propositions ol the Produce Exchange, have referred the lurther consideration of the subject to the Loan Committee of the Clearlnir House. The movement ot our crops has come to be regarded as the corner.stone of the situation, and it may be fairly assumed that every efTort will be made by the financial authorities to extend as lar as practicable the desired facilities. The condition i of the market is reported elsewhere. FOREION KXCHANOB was dull and nominal. Actual business was on the basis of 104% a 106 for prime bankers' 60 days sterling, and 106% a 100 lor sight. Commercial bills sold all the way from 101 to 103%. COIN FOR AMERICA. The shipment of coin from bng'and to America has not abated. It is estimated that fully $8,000,000 are now en rout?, to be added to whlcfe are ?124,000 withdrawn to-day; ?226,000 in bullion shipped from Plymouth on Saturday in the steamer Silesia; ?16,000 on the same day per steamship America, and ?M),ooo engaged for the steamer Donau, which sails to-morrow. Five hundred thousand pounds are said to be booked lor shipment this week, besides the amounts above named. These several amounts, coming here at a time when so much is dependent on the movement of grain, cannot but produce a decidedly beneficial etfect upon that market. THE UNITED STATES TREASURY. The payment of the interest on November coupon bonds on loans of 1864 and 1865 began today at the Sub-Treasury. The amount of interest due in these is $10,477,935; on the registered bonds $2,925,993. Total, $13,403,929. The sum disbursed was not large, and it wos in some measure owing to the insufficiency of the announcement, but probably a large proportion of the bondholders nrefer to await until the maturity of the coupons rather than sacrifice interest ut the rate of 6 per cent gold between now and Nqvember. The amount or oonns purcnaseu oy tne suuTreasurer last week and disbursed in currency was $12,1)03,682, and the amount of coin paid lor interest on the same was $200,022. The balances'in the United States Treasury at the close of business to- lay areCurrency, $2,446,437; special deposits of legal tenders for the redemption of certificates of deposit, $11,250,000; coin, $86,310,568, including $34,240,000 in coin certificates; outstanding legal tenders, $356,000,000. The customs receipts to-<lay were $382,000. The receipts from internal revenue were $357,540. The Assistant Treasurer paid out $43,ooo on account of interest and $7,ooo in redemption of five-twenty bonus. THE FOREIGN MARKET. London advices to-day were regarded with more than usual, interest, inasmuch as they report the extension of the disturbance on this side of the water to that market. Three failures among brokers in the London Stock Exchange have occurred thus lar as a consequence of the decline in Erie. The Hank of England lost to-day the further sum of ?838.000; ?124,ooo was withdrawn lor shipment to America and the balance lor Germany. This, doubtless, led to a sudden meeting of the directors, and an advance of the rate of discount to 5 per cent?an act which caused considerable surprise to all who had seen the posted announcement at noon that no change would be made. Up to this time American securities were dull and heavy, but afterwards thev became more buoyant and active. Erie, which opened at 41% a 41% sold at the close at 42% a 42%. Consols for money and account are quoted at 92%, old bonds of 1866 at 94%, of 1867 at 94% and new fives at 90%. The advance Is caused by the covering of short sales to meet the requirements of the occasion?this being settling day. The demand for discount lor three months' bills, as well as in open market, has been heavy at five per cent. The rate for money at the Stock Exchange on government securities is three per cent. Keutes In 1'aris were 56.35. Amsterdam shows the following strong quotations:?Central Pacific first mortgage, 81%; Union Pacific first mortgage, 65; Union Pacific shares, 17; Northwestern preferred, 65; St. Paul preferred, 65%; Erie, 46.

THE KETH0D1ST MINISTERS. Close of the Discussion on Methodist Decline?A Retries of the hltnntion by Rev. C. C. t.oaa. Yesterday, being the regular day for the reading of an easay bclore the Preachers' Association, Kev. C. 0. (loan, the statistician of Methodism, who opened the ball with flgnres on the decline of Methodism, acted the part of essayist, and read a paper reviewing all that has been presented on the question during the discussion. He repeated sonic 01 his former tables of churches and of membership, which have been published already. But he added to these many additional statistics relative to the benevolent contributions of the several denominations in the city, pastors' salaries, number of churches built here since 1864 or now in process of erection and their cost (not their present annul value). Of these the Methodists built or are building 16, at a cost of $183,000; the Baptists 9, at a cost of $187,000; the Uomuu Catholics 11, at a cost or $1,711,000, not including over $1,000,000 already expended on the new Cathedral 011 Fifth avenue; the Presbyterians 19, at a cost of $2,88:1,000, and the Episcopalians 25 churches, built at a cost of $3,825,000. These several churches range iu value from $30,000 to $750,000. Of BBNKVOLKNT INSTITUTIONS IN TIIX CITY the Methodists have of ail sorts 4, the Baptists l, the Presbyteriuns 2 (tno product, however, of the Ixinox estate rather thun of denominational enterprise or benevolence), the Episcopalians have 11 and the Catholics 11, besides 72 schools. The contributions of the leading denominational churches in this city for all purposes for 1872, including liberal estimates for such as had not been actually reported, amounted to:?Baptists, $100,000; Methodist^, $212,ooo; Episcopalians, $7-17,000, and Presbyterians, $803,000. The membership lor the saine year stands:?Meihodtsts, 11,185; Baptists. U,2>0; Episcopalians, 14.103. and Presbyterians, Id,005. In 1830 the Presbyterians 01 this cltv numbered as muuy members as the other three denominations together, but they have not advanced lu the same ratio as the others since that time. From 1840 to 1M741 tint Mntluullulu clw.w .1 il.mlrnn' fv.tm Idoll In 1870 tlie Presbyterians and Eabtists nave declined; lroui I860 to 1800 TIIE EPISCOPALIANS DECLINED, but since I860 they have been gathering up strength and pushing ahead. The PresovterlauH have been doing the same since 1S7U uud have grown very rapidly. Mr. doss' tables were very elaborate and detailed, but the above are the new and salient points. After he had iluished reading his paper l>r. Knilic Cook and Castor Lplievre, of I'arls, both delegates to the Evangelical Alliance, were introduced, and the lormer briefly addressed the meeting on the pro-* Kress ol Methodism in Prance anil in Frenchspeaking Switzerland, of which he gave some few statistics. The work is divided into three districts, in which tuey have. 171 chupcls and preaching places, manned by 28 ministers uud 12 evangelists colporteurs and teachers and on local preachers; they have 1,94ft members and 88 probationers; 10 day schools, with 370 scholars; 50 Sunday schools, with 880 teachers and 2,68? pupils, a it J iheir Sabbath congregations average 0,848. Rev. nr. Crook, oi lieliast, Ireland, another delegate to the .illlanee, gave, also, an interesting sketch of HETlIOniST WORK IN IRELAND. Patiently the preachers remained through the afternoon to llsteu to uu Interesting and highly instructive lecture on "Oratory.'' by Proiessor Gustavo Watson, oi lloston, at the close of which they passed a resolution complimentary to and recommendatory of the lecturer and, Ids lecture. The meeting adjourned until the second Monday of October to admit oi attendance on the sessions of the Alliance. Y0M XiPPUB. The Jewish Day of Atonement?Its Origin and Observance. This evening begins the most solemn and memoraltlo iluv in u11 Mm Jnuriuh pnldniiiir Mm I~la?r of Atonement. Its origin is given in Leviticus xvL, 20, ana xxlll., 26, but tradition gives it an existence long before Moses or the wilting of the Pentateuch. According to llebrew tradition Adam did penance and was forgiven on tuis day, the lotb of Tishri, and on tins day also Abraham entered into the covenant or circumcision. The second of Moses' lorty days' fasl is said also to have terminated on this day, ot which the Lord pardoned all Isruel. llence th< pious Israelite lias many reasons besides the areola command of God in Leviticus Tor couimeinoiatinu this day and coming to it with due solemnity and prayer, fasting follows leastlng, the grave succeeds the gay, and the mind and body that have been drinking deeply or the good things of lile and the enjoyment of the season during yesterday and to-day will, after sunset this evening, begin u season ol solemn thought and devotiou. to lust at least twenty-lour hours, during which all kinds of work in the store, the counting house, the workshop or the home is prohibited, und lood is refused while the solemn day lusts. confessions of pins are made this evening, and the Divine mercy is implored by the heads of the households. And then ere they part to go to the synagogues to spend the time in earnest devotions tne patriarchs give their blessings to their offspring as il they were going away into a far country lor a long time. Friendships that may have been broken during the enter their several places ol worship, An<l so far do they carry this idea that the stanchest friends when the.v meet ask each other's forgiveness lor any unintentional wrong they may have committed one against another, on this day the people arc supposed to a fillet their souls by abstaining from eating and drinking, bathing and perfuming, wearing shoes and sexual Intercourse. This atllictlug of the soul Is literally observed by the older Is-aelltes, but It Is only seemingly so by the younger ones. The altars and the priests on tills duy are robed in white; the 8YNAOOOUKS ARK KILI.KD with men, women and children, many of whom are rarely. If ever, seen In one at any other time of the year; the prayers and psalms are penitential and confessory, and the addresses, when such are delivered, are designed to bring as vividly before the minds of the people the solemnity of the day when in the Temple at Jerusalem the High Priest alone, once n year, cptered Into the Holy of Holies with the mood of the sacriflce to make atonement for himself and for all the people. And thus, whether they will or no, by the very power ami Influence of the services of this day, the frivolous are made solemn, the careless become sedate, ttie listless become, attentive, and a forced, if not an actual devotion impresses itself upon all, und overspreads the whole. May it become real, and manliest itself in the subsequent lives of the worshippers. OREEDMOOR Fine Practice Shooting by the Tinth Regiment Team Yesterday.
