and the general tapering off of the summer demand leaves
both producer and manufacturer indisposed for large or
vigorous business. The trade for foreign goods is also
about over, and the steamers of the week have brought
only small cargoes. Woollens of all descriptions are dull,
waiting for the fall trade to open.

Money continues very abundant, and is readily obtained
on mixed collaterals, at 3 per cent., on call.
Discounts on first-class-paper pass easily, at 5 to 6 per
cent., but this quality is unusually. .scarce.
American silver sells at 61 to 7 cents below the price of
gold. Mexican dollars are nominal at 103} to 1031 in
gold. _ _

business being in " Bankers and Brokers' Association,"
" Pacific Mail," and " Quicksilver."

cipal business beingin Consolidated Gregory, and in Smith

offered at at any price.

The Exchange Room for dealing in Government Stocks
has been removed to the second floor of the Exchangt
Building, where the Mining Board has hitherto met, and
the price of new membership has been raised to $5OO. The
increased business in this department of the Stock Ex-
change has rendered larger accommodations in the way of
space absolutely necessary, besidesadding to the value of
membership. All the members of the Stock Exchange
are admitted free, in person or by attorney, as heretofore.
The annual charge will remain, as heretofore, at $lOO per
year. The new membership fee is to be paid by persons
not members of the New York Stock Exchange.
Hereafter on Saturday, by Joint consent, business at the
Stock Exchange, Open Board- of Brokers, Gold Exchange,
and in the Long Room, will close much earlier than
hitherto, giving the after part of the day for holyday. The
two stock boards will close on that day at 1 o'clock p.m.,
the Gold Exchange at 2 p.m., and the Long Room at 3.30
p.m. The Open Board has affixed the penalty of suspen-
sion for doing business on Saturday after 3.30 p.m. on the
street.
The Bankers' and Brokers' Association, recently orga-
nised under charter from the State of Now York, com-
menced business yesterday at 14 and 16, New-street. The
institution will be employed as a clearing house for stocks
and bonds, and until the mode of business becomes familiar
a limited number of stocks are to be passed through the
Clearing-house, those selected for the present being Now
York Central, Erie, Michigan Southern, and Northern In-
diana, Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, Chicago and
North 'Western (Preferred) and Pittsburg, Fort Wayne,
and Chicago. This institution, by which it is seen that
the dealings in stocks may 'be largely facilitated, and
trouble saved to dealers, and errors avoided, is organized
under the charter, which is ample, including privileges.
The Clearing house contemplates also a consolidation,
under one management and in ono building, of the trans-
fer offi..!es of corporations the shares of which are dealt in
at the brokers' boards.
The internal org inization of the Clearing-house is effec-
tive, having been arranged by some of the ablest men of
Vie Board, who have sought to place the best available
talent in the managemmt, which is assisted by a staff of
(at present) some thirty clerks.
When the clearings of the stocks named shall have got
nto easy working additions to the number arty be made,
till at length the dealings in the whole list will be em-
braced in the daily operations. Regular sales and cash
sales early in the day will be cov,:rud in the day's clear-
ings, which are to ba finished at half-past 12 o'clock each
.day. The charge for clearing is 20 cents for each 100
shares of stock.
The Association has a subscribed capital of ono million
dollars, of which half has already been paid in, and the
remainder is subject to call when it is needed, or can be
profitably employed. The shares are selling at about
fifteen per cent. premium. The following aro the officers
of the Association : —A. B. Baylis, president ; IL M. Bene-
dict, vice-president; H. E. Alexander, manager; D. W.
Berdan, assistant manager:- -
