FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.



This has been exciting day in Wall street
and in mercantile circles, partly in consequence Of
the rumors which have been afioat all day regard
ing military and naval movements, and partly be-
cause it is the last day of the old tariff The i'm
porting merchants waited upon the Collector to-
day to ask him to keep open till midnight This he
declined to do but all persons inside the Custom
House at three P. M. were permitted to transact
their business. The receipts at the Custom House
yesterday, which were the heaviest ever known,
amounted to Sass, 900. To-day they were con-
siderably in excess of this sum.
Money continues very abundant at 4 q per
cent. Brokers generally pay five; but bankers
complain that they are obliged to lend a great
deal at 4. Some $500 900 were deposited to-day
at the Sub Treasury at per cent. Certificates of
| indebtedness are higher; 9ST was bid for them
this morning. From present prospects the supply
of these certificates promises to be pretty liberal
this autumn. Demand notes iuctuate between
1861 and "a.
| Gold and exchange are very irregular. At the
opening to-day gold was ll41l; it then rose stea
Oily to ll424, lis and ll5A, closing 1l5% bid
After the second board it sold at 49, Bills were
quoted this morning at 125 1875, and later in the
day 126 l27. We hear of sales at both extremes
and all the intermediate points. fresh supply Of
commercial bills is expected tomorrow. and
buyers are holding of. a .reHI rs
The stock m"rket was steady this morning, with
out material change in prices. fair business
was done at the morning board Governments did
| not fuctuate; Pacific Mail and Panama were u
per cent higher; the general railway list about Il
per cent lower. The bonds Of the Toledo and
Wabash road were lower, on the Logansport affair
which we mentioned this morning. Between the
boards the street was agitated by rumors of move
ments on the peninsula, and of the arrival Of
rebel ironclad feet at Mobile; and, though the ab-
surdity Of the latter story was palpabe enough, it
nevertheless exercised some influence on the
markets At the second board Central-which
sold dividend off-was Il lower than in the
morning, and the general list declined "A
