NeW York cold and STOCK Market,

MCW 4VAA NUAW anu DeGAM A4GAADha
By Telegraph NEW YORK, July Is.
The day has witnessed greater excitement
In financial circles than any since the agl-
tation of the war between France and
Prussia began. An unsettled feeling was
reflected in the gold market where the
volume of business was Immense, and the
fluctuations were wide and frequent. Be-
fore the formal opening of the room, gold
sold at l41a. This on private cable dispatch :
es late last night, giving o5 francs and 50
centtmes as the quotations on rentcS, ana
saying that there was great excitement in
Berlin and war inevitable. Later public
dispatches gives 60 francs and so confines
as quotation for rentes, and reported the
prospects more peaceful, which caused q
decline to 13194l35S from which there was
rally and l41s was the recorded price in
the room; but at this point London dis
was Inevitable, and that Prussia was
massiug her forces, and the French fleet
had sailed under sealed orders, but 10 was
believed for the blockade of the Prussian
This carried prices again up TO I41S
From this was another reaction TO l44@
I43z when the news came: "All hopes of
peaceable adjustment between France and
Prussia is given up and Napoleon viii for
malIy declare war" This news was not
fully credited, and only advanced prices to
14zS, after which 10 declined to l455Sl45<.
Subsequently dispatches were received
saying that the Corps Legislatif had de-
cIared for war and rentes down to 65f soc,
which advanced gold to lb1S. The excite
ment continued without abatement TO the
an advance In French rentes to 66f sos was
reported, which was Interpreted as slight
hope for peace.
On this, gold fell from l51< to 141S, and
there was q sharp rally In the prices of
Stocks and Exchange: but at the close,
r2ntes were quoted at 60 and falling, while
the cab @ kilograms spoke OF the conflict
as Inevitable. This caused rise in gold
to the highest point OF the day, and start
ed q downward movement in the Stock
Exchange. Il closed at 161z0l6az The re-
ported specie shipment OF tomorrow Will

feet on produce and exchange, and bread
stuffs market is active at an advance and
an increased business for export. The
stock Exchange suffered by the announce
ment of war, and for a time stocks we're
thrown over eTboard, almost without regard
to price, on the market. Tue hight OF the
excitement looked like drifting into q
panic, but the crisis was finally averted.

MORE THIEvING.-A negro named
J. Ell. Hogan, brought a plain gold
ring to Gus. H. Jageman, jeweler on
Main Street. on Thursday to have it
enlarged, saying he had bought it in
Cincinnati, and found it too small.
Mr.. Jageman, on examining the
risg. found the initials "R. & s."
on the inside. and sent word at once
to Messrs. Rosencranz & Smith. of
Second Street, to come to his store.
Mr.. Harry Smith came. and on ex-
amining the ring identified it as his,
and informed City Marshal Wunder-
Itch.
The thief being probably alarmed,
did not call for the ring while the
Marshal was on the lookout, but
when he did come. Mr.. Jageman took
him in charge, and was taking him to
the lock- up. when on passing the alley
between Water and First Streets, on
Main. Hogan bolted up the alley and
escaped, but not for long. as Marshal
Wunderlich caught him in the after
noon, and brought him before JUS
tice McTernan, who sent him to Jail
in default Of $500 bail.
Hogan had bought cheap ring of
Rosencranz & Smith. and while the
clerks attention was diverted. he stole
this one.

filed the sidewalks on both sides of

though each piece elected the great

lowed by applause more emphasized.
While Warren's leading never fails to
elicit the great praise it deserves, that
of itself would be insufficient to win
the name this band has attained,
