THE NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

The following extracts show the state of the New
York money market yesterday
From the " y. Herald
'sThe great feature of interest in Wall street to-
day was the speculative movement in gold, the price
of which suddenly rose over two per cent. amid
scenes OF excitement which have seldom been wit
messed in the Gold Room since the wild speculation
of the war days The earliest sales were at l33 G
1873 4, but all that olereO at these figures
quietly absorbed ana the prce at noon was urn
the award of the Government gold was an
nounced al the Sub!Ireasury. The whole
amount was taken at 1896 by one iirn, whose
name has long been identified with the clique
movements of the street The enect ON the crowd
was electrical They dashed out OF the Treasury aud
down the steps into Wall street, and ran across at
the top OF their speed TO the Gold Room. The news
spread like wildhre. Up went gold to 1884,. The
took all that was offered and bid for more. Back
the price to 1872 aud thence rose, point by
unreistlngly, 10 l55a. Tle conservation ol tle
shorts was terrible. The bid at the Suo-lreasury
load upon the market. heretofore the latter had
been taking up gOld but now they backed up
their assertions that the premium was destined to
advance by purchasing. A. least ten millions was
bought by them to-day. The street was distracted
by reports that they would lock up gold Tomorrow
in furtherance OF the corner on the shorts,
whose number is legion. Indeed the market is in
state which leaves 1t at the mercy OF the bulls.
In the general situation there is nothing 10 cause
the advance 1t is true the Paris Bourse Is reported
heavy, and rentes declined. There is noInng posi-
tive: All is prohlematical. Napoleons health IS
uouDIess hol we pcst put lounlhg ~ SI thy
known concerning ii. Should he suddenly die there
would be a panic abroad, and gold would go up
instantly The only thing certain is that gold III the
winter must fall before the natural influences or
q heavy expectation Of cotton and Dreadstuils.
NOW the bulls have all the gold or nearly al OF IT,
The banks last Saturday held less than twenty mil
lions This twenty millions will, it is feared, dWin-
die TO tenneXt week. when the Comptroller demands
the statement OF the banks. The 'beais have sold
gold which they must borrow Hence the panlcky
feenng among them this afternoon when as hlgh as
l,S2 10 l-l6 was bid for the use OF gold tomorrow

market tat the clearances tomorrow Will approx
mate two hundred millions

OBITUARY.
Francis L. A. RoOle.

Francis |. A. Boole, so well known some years
since a prominent Democratic politician in
New York city, died at half-past s o clock yester
day morning, ut the Lunatic Asylum in Utica, of
sottening of the brain.
Mr.. Bodies advent as an office-holder was as
Councilman for district located in the Eleventh
ward. He was subsequently elected Alderman
from the same ward and afterwards held the
position of City Inspector. While holding this
last position he was nominated by Tammany
Hall as candidate for Mayor. The Republi-
cans nominated Orison Blunt while the
Union Democracy and the McKeone portion of
that party nominated G. Godfrey Gunther The
contest was one of the most exciting ever eXpe-
rienced in a Mayoralty election in this city. AL
most every one except the select few who were
well posted on the inner workings of the wire
pullers expected that Mr.. Boole would be
elected by large majority, and that Mr..
Gunther would be the last man in the race,
and very large amounts, at great Odds were
bet by many of these sanguine individuals,
and who were morally certain that Gun
ther was to be the winning man. When the
votes were counted they stood about as fol-
lows:-Gunther, 2S, 600; Blunt, 1000; and Boole,
10000. Although Mr. Boole was nominated by
Tammany he was also Ostensibly supported by
Mozart; but he received very little if, any, sup
port from Mozart, Mr.. Fernando Wood having
refused to speak at the meeting called to ratify
his nomination, and report having gained
ground among the Celtic followers of Mozart
Hall that Mr.. Boole was an Englishman,
and held the same views on the negro ques-
tion as his brother, Rev. Mr.. Boole noted
abolitionist. On the other hand the Ger
mans, en- ndSSe, rallied to the support
of Gunther who also doubtless received large
Mozart vote and small portion of the Tam
many, and thus is explained the reasons why
Mr.. Gunther did what no other Democrat but
Mr.. Fernando Wood ever did, beat the Tam
many candidate for Mayor. Shortly afterwards
Mr.. BODIES popularity had run down almost to
zero, and he was legisated out OF office as City
Inspector, the Board of Health, which was then
created, having assumed the duties and powers
appertaining to the City Inspectors department.
Mr.. Boole, from the effects of disappointed
ambition and dissipated habits, soon became mn
sound in mind, and was placed in the Blooming
dale Lunatc Asylum where he remained until
recently, when he was sent to the asylum in
Utica. Mr.. Boole leaves wife and two grown
up daughters. Mr. Charles f. Loew, County
Clerk, and Mrs. Boole started for Utica yester-
day, and will bring on the remains of Mr.. BoOlc
to this city to-day. Mr.. George w. Roome, the
keeper of the City Hall, has received instruc-
tions TO display the flags at haf-mast from the
CITY Hall tO-daY.-N. Y Herald of il-,idg

An Extraordinary AnecdOte about Louis NapO-
leon.
The SdlJt Public, ofLyons, has Just published
most extraordinary anecdote, for the truth OF
which 1t vouches with great determination.
During the sojourn Of Louis Napoleon in Ame-
rica he became very intimate with q family
whose real name the Sdlu Public disguises
under the pseudonym of Edwards, deriyed
from the Christian name of its head. The
friendship the Edwardses felt for the Prince
was unvarying, and his feelings towards them
when he became Emperor were as con-
slant as they had been when be was
an exile. In 1859 Mr. Edwards came to France
to felicitate his friend on his Italian victories,
and was received by the Emperor with much
warmth. The interview was long and private;
Mr.. Edwards, however, made no secret of what
passed between them, and repeated to several
of his friends the following words of the En-
peror. The Prince Imperial has only just re
covered from serious illness, and his Majesty,
still under the impression of his past fears, said
to his old friend, IF | had theSmsfOrtuue to
lose my son, and all hope for an heir i'm direct
line were denied me, should have put into exc
cution an extraordinary project. =
! should have given to France the privileges, the
liberties, the manners of a republic. / should
have wished to be looked upon as the first
citizen of my country, after having given
back TO it those liberties which political
necessity has obliged me to take away for a
time: in word l should have rendered i'm
possible after my death any other form of
government than that of republic
the only one which, wisely understood, and
applied with energy, can suit France. But
must give up this dream; father of q family
must not burn his sons roof over his head, and
/ must try and cOncilate two elements which
now seem utterly inalienable-the Empire and
liberty. My heirs shall reign, and France shall
only lose name-the name of republic. She
will soon have, hope, all the liberal institutions
that have so much admired in the New World. "
Such words as these, at such time,
certainly took Mr.. Edwards by SURPRISE and
created much astonishment and incredulity in
the minds of those to whom he communicated
them.
