FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The strin gency in money shows no abAte-
ment in New York, but rather increases il
severity. The banks Are making NV new
loans, and in some cases are strAining n effort
to make favorable exhibit in their quarterly
report. This course Is much - be regretted.
IL causes great Inconvenience TO the customers
of the banks, and in the present Coalition Of
affairs is extremely hazardous. M )reover, il
presents really false hIbit Of the position of
TIE banking interest, at a time when IL is most
important that its condition should be made
apparent to Congress ana the country. The
banks, however, will doubtless continue to
shape their affairs into an apparently easy con-
dition until Friday; and the pros Ject is that
for the next two days, the pressure will be
more severe even than at present. Yes erday
per cent in gold was the general rate outsife
the banks, except with a few private ba nkers,
who deem anything beyond per cent. in cur
Iency usurious; and in some cases q commits
sion extra is charged. Discounting is slmos,
suspended. The best paper canno. be nego.
tisted at better than Sa10 per cent.

WEEK ENDING July II, 1868.

There very peculiar points to report for the
past week. A fair business has been transacted by
the obbers and the sales have been quite large
was anticipated. The month of July is considered
the dullest tor business in the whole year both by
importers and jobbes, but it has improved this year
upon former ones. The principal cause of IL is is
that country merchan s, having found that Portland
merchants are disposed to deal with them upon
terms little better than if their purchases were
made in Boston, have sought this market and get
their supplies here.
Gold has slightly increased in value since last
report, closing Saturday at 141. On Monday,
18th opened at l+1 and advanced to 14H at which
price it closed Tuesday the 14tb it opened at 1921
but soon dropped to 14ls, closing at 141a.

GAME BETWEEN THE HARVARD AND EoN CLUBS
One of the most interesting and exciting
games of base ball ever played in Portland
came off yesterday afternoon on the Eon's
ground near the Arsenal, between the Har-
ward CLUB of Massachusetts and the Eon Club
of this city. A large crowd of spectators was
present. The playing began at $50, the Har-
ward going to the bat. A brisk southerly wind
was blowing, affecting somewhat both the
pitching and batting. Mr.. I'll. L. Pike of the
Cushnocs, Augusta, was appointed Umpire
The result was in favor of the Harvards, but
we must claim for the Eons some disadvanta-
ges. The first and most important one was
the condition of the Eons They are sadly out
of practice, we should judge. Secondly, they
were two men short, Williams and Woodman
being absent. Thirdly, in the 4th inning Dem
mis- sprained his wrist, and fourthly, the Har-
wards were a leetle too heavy for them if they
had been all right otherwise; for they are a
heavily built set of fellows and in perfect prac-
tice. They showed themselves a splendid club
in the first inning-hardy boys and powerful
hitters. They were sent to the field after
three runs, the Eons playing sharply.
The Eons took the bat but only scored one.
and were followed by the Harvards with like
amount In the next inning the Eons scored
two, but succumbed to some hot work, leavin5
the game at the close of the I'd inning to in
favor of the Harvards.
In the third inning the Harvards made II
runs to the Eons 1, and in this inning was
their best playing, and it was wonderfully good.
In the fifth inning, Smith of the Harvards
made home run.
Bust of the Harvards made two home runs
Lowell of the Eons caught two or three balls
very handsomely, and Abbott as catcher dis
tingushed himself We append the summary !:

RowDYIsM IN THE HORSE CARs.-Yester-
day after DON three young men, in state of
intoxication, entered the horse car at West
brook to come to the city. After the cars had
started they commenced making noise, and
after being demonstrated with by the conduc-
tor still kept up their rowdyism. The conduc
tor then attempted to put one of them out,
when all three pitched in, using him roughly
and breaking the windows of the cars. He at
length succeeded in ejectng them, but as soon
as the car had started they all jumped on
again. The other passengers then left the car,
and the three rowdies came to the city, where
one of them was arrested and taken to the
lookup.
