THE NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

The following extracts show the state OF the New
York money market yesterday
From the Herald.
"With the exception Of the stock market which
exhibited moderate animation, the markets in Wall
street to-day were exceedingly dun and devoid Of
interest. Money continues to be in free supply, with
more offerings on Governments than there is any
call for even at as low figure as five per cent, the
ruling rate on good colaerals being six per cent.
Discounts continue to range between seven and nine
ipures
to 1876 shortly after noon, recovering soon however,
to 1861, at which figure it remained steady up to the
adjournment OF the board in an exceedingly quiet
market subsequently, upon the statement of en-
gagements having been made for heavy shipments OF
specie tomorrow, amounting it is said. to S464 600,
there was shade more activity and the price rallied
to 1867, at which figure 1t stood at the close of busi
ness The disbursements of coin interest to-day
amount to sI4,245.
"FrOm 5 to 6%c. per cent were paid for carry
ing before Clearing House time, and subsequently
"Foreign exchange is 1rmer upon O less supply
of commercial bills and additional caution in ac-
ceptug those offered, consequent upon the recent
failure. Prime bankers, sixty days, has advanced
'"The Governments market was quiet throughout
the day, with light offerings, and practical decline
in prices, refCrable principally to this duness. Pro-
minent houses report continued inquiry for cur
renCy skies, with offers to exchange Eive-twenties
for these bonds. \ leading query in evening

THE GREAT FIRE.
Comments ON il hy the ..NyorId., >,

The leading Democratic journal of New York takes
The opportunity, in commenting on the recent fire in
tha Guy, TO pch into and lay out the governmental
administration ana It's ''mnlOus" in most unmerited
terms. This is the way it speaks:-
The destruction by fire OF the United States bonded
warehouse in Philadelphia containing 80 600 barrels
or WHISKY ana other goods valued at ten or eleven
mllnOns o. dollars, entails upon several firms in that
city immense losses. In New York, as well as in
Philadelphia, the most destructive fires which have
occurred during the last Two years have had their
instance II appears that the fire resulted
from careless or incompetent supervision, such as
would not be tolerated by any private business firm
IN the management OF its own interests. "Hhe
immense weight Of whisky stored in the south end
Oi the building, directly over the GngnC-rOOm," saws
the account of the Philadelphia disaster, "caused
the upper part of the building to give way thus let
mug the whisky down into the Cngine-rOOm In an
instant the tire spread through all the six stories 4"

ST. LOUIS is working herself up into state
of very great excitement on the subject of
the removal of the national capital. A pre-
liminary meeting has been held, and mon
ster mass meeting is in contemplation, and
ways and means for securing the great object
upon which her heart is now fixed are sug-
gested by the score. We regret that we can
not Join hands with the disinterested patriots
who are moving in this matter. If the capi-
tai is to be removed from Washington, Phila-
delphia is the place for it. The Penn Squares
would be just the site for the principal build
ing, and if they are too small, it will be an
easy matter to clear away the space surround
ing them to the distance of half mile or
more. The White House could be erected on
Logan or Rittenhouse Square, while Smiths
Island would be the most delightful spot in
the wide wide world for Presidents summer
residence. The different buildings required
for the departments could be strung along
Broad street, and that grand thoroughfare
could then be paved, from end to end, with
the Nicolson blocks, at the expense of the
National Government. And within q month
after the permanent removal to this city of
all the paraphernalia and personnel of gov
ernment, New York would sink to the dead
level of Marcus Hook and other abandoned
seaport towns.
