Review of Ihe Events of the Week?An Animated Stock Speculation. the gold and money markets. The Course of Government, State and Railroad Bonds?The Money Market Stronger. Waul Strixt. ) Sunday, April t, 1877. ( At Intervals areata come upon the Stock Exchange as sorrows are said to do?In battalions. Tbero baa been no lack of tb*m during the past week, and iney bare bad to do witb the coal, railroad auu tnisoeila beotia stocks almost to equal proportions. The imme diate effect was to produce a considerable agitation in the waters ot speculation, create a nauseating stol de tner in tho holders of cortaln lavoritu finales, and a return at the oud or tbe week to the placidity of the openfng. The most startling occurrence wae the sharp end unexpected attack upon Panama Railroad and Pa ciflo Mall, which forced tbe former down Ire? 120 to 80, and tbe latter from 18 to 12%?this at tbe rcry moment that tbe directors In tbo former stock were declaring a quarterly dlvideud of 3 per cent and show ing that thoy bad earned It, and that tbe President of the latter company was congratulating stockholders upon the Improved condition or tboir property. 01 courto so Qerco n squall could only proceed Irom the "rude Boreas" of tne market, whose wtuds are il' winds and who blows nobody any eooa but himself. In this case It Is doubtful whether be bss much bene fited by tbe tempest, aftpr all, lor tbe flurry wae ae short as It was sharp, and, in a wreckiug point of view, little opportunity w?s given tor tlio collection of Jetsam and flotsam In tho shape or floating shares. It Is a matter of "stroot" notoriety that Jay Oould, since bis acquisition of tho Union Paciflo road, has been affected with a moral strabismus wbicb bss com pelled one eye to be directed upon this properly and tbe other upon Panama. To hurmonlze this erratic Vision it became necessary to harmonize tbe intorests oi tbo two lines, and to do this It was a sine qud non that tbo Panama property should come under tbe control of Uoald. Hence tbo attack which startled Stock Exchange circles end resulted In tbe discomfiture of two prominent operators. Regarding tbo small number of Panama shares which changed bunds tbo movement does not appear to have been n success, Gouid Daring appa rently tailed to scare stockholders into selling and to have reckoned witbout bis bost, or, more properly, without tbe friends who so promptly came to tbo aid ot tbe embarrassed operators. Tbo attack upon l'a. clflc Mall bolng simply a sham to help along tbo main oporation It was significant of nothing, and tbe price quickly returned to nearly tbe point ol departure, wMle Panama, under tbo nelp extended, recovered to par, although it fulled to ontlrely retain the Improve ment. Tbe entire market was demoralized by tbe un expected dash upon the above securities, and was at one time tbreatonod with disastrous results. Tbe bear parly, however, who would rather see the market sink away through marasmus than expire by sudden death, lntorforod, through tbo. means of extensive purchusos, at tbe nick of time and rallied prices generally some 2 or 3 per cent. Tbe restoration ol confidence wus groutly aided by tbe settlement of difficulties which bad been harassing tbe coal carriers?tbo trunk railroads. Without being able to bit upon a better plan tbo former havo roadoptod tho old combination In au emasculated lorm, the same being a restriction ol pro duction and an advance of fllty cents per ton upon coal at tide water. Tbe railways have followed protty nearly In tbe same lootstcps, having retlnkored tbe December contract nnd sworn quite as stoutly as thoy did then to "love, bonor and obey" tbe sumo. How for tbo Immutable laws ol trado can bo ovorrtdden by leglslatlou or this description, and bow soon contracts that have no better basis than these have will be reck oned among such as are made to bo oroken, will bo decided soouer or later. As monopolies soem to be tbo fashtonaolo cure-all for all diseases pertain ing to trado depression, II Is a little remarkable that tbe two telegraph companies have not arranged lor some sort of alliance, ofl'ensive and defensive. Some such reports were rlfo In tbe street, but so far have come to nothing, and tbe prlco of Western Union bos declined betweou 2 and 3 points In face of them. Tbe Atlantic and Pacific Company havo boon hammer ing away through constant cutting in rates which tbe old company is forced to meet with similar reductions. What the upshot of tbe matter Is to be?whether s consolidation of Interests sooner or later, or s war to tbo bitter end, with a denouement akin to tbat of tbe Kilkenny cats?nobody knows, and few beyond stock holders cure. The demand lor tbe new lour and a half per cents continues active, large sumswblob have beau Irlgbtoned out of the share market seeking a saler asylum m government bonds. A slight stiffness In money was observabio during tbe pauicky days, due to tbe shifting ol loans, but on the cessation of excite ment tbo rate returned to the storootype one of 2 a 3 per cent.

Jewell, wero consigned to earth ye?'.cr lay, aud lor aught that transpired during ttie day the history of tbeir peculiar dealli, except la ao far as revealed by circumstantial evidence, may be said to be still in ths Umbo of an nuceriainty. At tbe Coroner's inquest, however, the present strong belief may take a fixed shape. Last evening a Hkkai.d reporter called at Mr. Doan's residence, aud was luloriucd that be was pro gressing as lavorably as could be expected considering bis injuries, but his physicians would not permit him to bo disturbed with any inquiries about the tragedy.

He got out of the office al most the instant of the explosion, and so quickly that bis faco was not blackened by tbo cloud of soot raised by tbe explosion. Young Mr. Doan said bo wont down stairs with his lather, when the lather rushed from the inner office, and that at this time there hud beeu but one report, that of tiie exploding bomb. The pistol shots he did not hour at all. Ho Is sure, he savs, that this explosion bad not been preceded by any wordy differences between Mr. Orville 1). Jewell and any ons else in the office, for hie seat was just outside the door 01 tbo office iu which were ihu two Jewells aud his lather, aud, ho concludes, no could huvo heard uny loud coii vernation or unusual sounds, und that there were uouo he is psrlecllv sulisMod.
