New YORK, February IA, 1871.
Gold. which at our last writing or thereabouts
had gone slightly above 112 during part of one
days transactions, has been gradually seeking
lower level till it Is now nearly 1c lower. The
money market is quite easy, the bank balances
satisfactory, and financial affairs are in O very
fair condition. taking all things into account.
The report from Washington yesterday, Of the
confidence expressed by the Secretary Of the
Treasury. in being able to fund the Govern
ment Securities according to his proposal, with
assurances TO the same effect from many finan-
cial sources, show almost conclusively that
should the favorable prospects continue ali
classes OF Government securities will In less
than month reach higher value. The ap-
pontment Of high commission by our own
Government and that of Great Britain to con-
slider and settle the Alabama Claims and other
questions az ISSUE between the two countries,
has had ITS proper effect in financial circles,
and the abundance of money forloansa at cheap
rates or interest, together with the prospect
above alluded to of Mr.. Boutwells receiving
subscriptions to the new loan and carrying out
his programme with reference TO funding the
$40 bonds, have given powerful stimulus to
investment in Government bonds and other
first-class securities. American paper was firm
in London, and in Liverpool breadstuffs re-
named at about the same quotations as here
tofore, since the rise last noted. Flour here
remains without quotable change in most grades
Wheat is dull and nominal at S1.70 for White
Michigan and S1.53@1.57 for new Spring.

WASHINGTON "THROUGH TICKETS" /"

Restoration of ThrOugh-ticlEet Arrange
ments Between Washington, PhIIadel-
phia, and New York.
1t will be remembered that in December last,
when the Superior Court of Baltimore city de
cided that the capitation tax of the State of
Maryland, on the Washington Branch, was un-
constitutional, the Baltimore and Ohio Company
at once reduced the passenger fare between
Baltimore and Washington from $3.50 to $1'20,
taking off the entire tax, viz, 20 per cent. The
fare between Washington and New York was
then s. and between Washington and Philadel-
phia $3.50. The Baltimore and Ohio Company, in
view of the reduction it desired to make on the
through tickets, proposed that the Philadelphia,
Wilmington, and Baltimore, and the New Jersey
roads should agree to such reductions in their
proportions as they had formerly expressed
Willingness to make, SO as to reduce the prices
of these tickets to 81 SO and $780, respectively.
In consequence of the refusal by those compa-
MES to make the reduction proposed, the sale of
through tickets ceased, although arrangements
were made to continue to check bag
gage between these cities. 1t is learned
that the difficulties have been finally
adjusted, and the prices proposed by
the Baltimore and Ohio arranged upon a salts
factory basis, SO that the public will now have
the advantage of the reduced rates then pro-
posed by that company. Arrangements have
been perfected so that tickets are now sold to
New England and all the Southern States in
Washington and New York, respectively, and
baggage is checked between the chief cities
from Boston to New Orleans, inclusive. The
reduction made in passenger fares by the
Pittsburg, Washington, and Baltimore read
(Connesville route), viz, to $3.50 between
Pittsburg and Baltimore and 50 between Pitts
burg and Washington, is naturally adding to the
travel and increasing the business between those
cities. Baltimore Sam

With large accumulation of unemployed
funds in this market, IL Is not strange that rates
should continue easy and almost nominal. In
fact, coed borrowers generally command their
own terms, especially when large amounts are
wanted. The uncertainty as to the continued
demand for call loans for speculative purposes
naturally makes the banks anxious to place
their funds out at profitable rates during the
summer season BOW approaching, and offer
exceedingly liberal terms for large amounts, but
there is no disposition on the part of borrowers
to operate in advance, owing to the plethoric
condition of the market and the prospect of
continued ease; hence there is very little doing
in the discount line. Call loans range from to

One of the boldest and most adroit robberies
that has come to our notice, says the st. Louis
Democrat of the Sth instant, for long time, was
perpetrated on Saturday night, in q street car of
the Union line Mr.. Louis Mestemacher, COM
mission merchant, of the firm of Mestemacher &
Bro, had been spending the evening with
his brother. About 12 o'clock he took a street
car to proceed to his residence on Sails
bury street. He had with him a basket
containing some articles for his family. He
car. He became unconscious-from what cause
he did not know-and on Sixteenth street was
aroused by the driver Cor conductor) asking for
his fare. Mr.. NJ. then discovered that he had
been robbed and smelling the odor of chloro-
form, had no doubt that the act was committed
by the two passengers His hat basket, watch,
pocket-book, and other articles that he had in
bis pockets were gone, besides bill of eX-
change on New York for four thousand dollars
jumped out of the car and ran to the corner of
Eleventh and O'Fallon streets, where he met
Mr.. Charles Each ("Hardware Charley"). Mr..
Mestemacher was so much excited and his
eyes were so inflamed and Withholding, that Mr.
Each did not at first recognize him. The two
proceeded to the residence of Mr.. Fach where
Mr.. Mestemacher was provided with cap, and
went home. The amount of money stolen was
$3.50, and the total loss of Mr.. Mestemacher is
about $500. Payment of the bill of exchange
has been stopped, but it is not probable that the
thieves will attempt to dispose of it, as by SO
doing they might be detected. The state OF
affairs is truly alarming when citizen cannot
travel at night in a street car without being
chloroformed and robbed. The police are after
the villains, and If they are caught the longest
term in the penitentiary should be their fate.

LEASING NEW JERSEYS RAILROADS.

The Reading Railroad Outbidding the
PennsyIvania COmpany-S1 100000 Boz
mus offered for the Lease of the United
Roads.
The offer of bonus of 100000 for the
lease of the united railroads of New Jersey,
mentioned yesterday, came from the Reading
Railroad Company This company already
owns the Schuylkill Canal, and desires especi-
ally to get possession of the Delaware and Rari-
tan Canal, since it forms the only connection of
the Schuylkill Canal with New York. Mr..
Gowen, the President of the Reading Railroad,
has therefore submitted the following PROPOSE
tions:z
First. The Reading Company will take the
canal on a perpetual lease, paying 100000 per
annum, and increasing the amount OF payments
until they shall reach 1000, 600 per annum,
which sum is to be paid annually thereafter.
This amount is equal to about 20 per cent. on
the cost.
Second. The Reading Company propose, in
case these terms are not agreed to, to taEa all
the property oi the united companies, REPRESENT
ing $35, S45 600 actual cost, to pay 10 per cent.
dividends yearly, and bonus of 81, 100000
This offer naturally creates an opposition to
the lease of the roads to the Pennsylvania Com
pany, which has already been agreed to by the
directors of the roads Interested, and now only
awaits the approval of the stockholders. The
stockholders of the Camden and Amboy Rail.

Mercantile Library Meeting-Stormy and
Disgraceful Scenes.
New YORK, May 10.-The annual meeting of
the Mercantile Library Association took place
last evening. The scene was stormy and dis
graceful. A contest occurred between the rival
factions, and ended in the total defeat of the
reform party who favor the repeal of the classi-
fication directors act the opening of the
library on Sundays and reduced taxation. The
police several times interfered to preserve peace,
and the gas having been extinguished, they
finally cleared the hall with the light of matches.
The reformers will hold public indignation
meeting on Friday.
DistilIers' Remonstrance.
The distillers and bonded warehousemen of
this city and Brooklyn are organizing to present
a decided remonstrance to Secretary Boutwell's
order directing the use of the new glass seal
locks on and after June 1st. The expense of
the locks, for which the users must pay over
fifteen dollars each, is objected to, and one of
the prominent speakers at the meeting yester-
day said there was over half a million of dollars
in the job The defenders of the lock contend
it ia objected to only because it makes fraud
impossible.

The Reported Capture of Lima a Tele-

one of the States of the republic of Colombia.
