al Case of ChOIern.

New YORK, April 11.--A fatal case OF
cholera is reported to have occurred in this
CITY. Mrs. Mary Heils, German, died on
Monday with all the symptoms of cholera.
DR.. John Beach made an external examina-

epidemic Asiatic cholera. A verdict TO that
effect was rendered by the jury. Not
withstanding this verdict, there are con-
fllcting opinions regarding the case. e. b.

Board of Health, claims that the case was
not cholera. However, the reports are Gre
ating much excitement throughout the
city.

Financial.
The Commercial says: The return of ease
in the money market revived the specula-
ton in stocks. This morning more conf.
dence was shown in speculatiODs for rise,
and the decline of the last two days was
very generally received on the railroad list.
Rock Island was bought freely at 1870
ll9. Reports are current of proposed is-
sue of 40 per cent. additional stock to share
holders at low price, variously stated at
$40 and $50 per share, the proceeds of
which, with the surplus funds in the hands
of the company, are to be devoted to the
purchase OF the Mississippi and Missouri
road.
Governments quiet and weak, under an
apprehension of the return of additional
amounts of 5-20s from Europe. The latest
quotations at London, upon the basis of
1851 for gold and 1868 for exchange,
show difference of about 81 per cent. for
the current prices here. i.'
Money abundant, with a moderate de-
mand from the street. Banks are lending
on call generally at per cent. Among
private bankers balances are loaned at soc
per cent.
There is a fair demand in DISCOUNTS
Prime paper is scarce and passes at 615@
712 per cent. Good names $40 per cent.
In gold speculation is comparatively
quiet. The failure OF 5-20's to advance in
Europe in response to the decline in gold
here has checked the downward tendency
in the price, and there is little disposition
to speculate upon the prospect of decline
resulting from the payment of the May
coupons. .-.-It....G
Gold is loaned flat. There is very ac-
tive demand for foreign exchange, appar-
emily from disposition to anticipate an
advance in rates. The leading drawers de-
cline to make quotations, but for prime
bankers sterling lO714@l0726 has been bid
aud refused. Francs OF long date have sold
at 5221@.
