TUESDAY, Sept. 9-6P.M.
Commercial matters were lively again to-day
and good healthy business was in progress In
nearly all the ramilcations OF trade The furry in
Wall street exerts little or no influence in mercan-
tile circles, where legitimate pursuits are carried
on, irrespective OF the .bulls'' and the 'bears ~
whose manipulations in financial circles tend to
cause such evident trepidation, and to work ruin
first upon to one clique and then another. The
fluctuations in the gold premium have exerted far
less influence than usual as they are the direct
result OF the fight between The Gogs and Magogs OF
Wall street. On 'Change to-day -four was
quiet, but firm. Wheat was dull, lower and nom-
nal, with heavier receipts in the near future. Corn
was steady, with fair demand. oats were active
ana higher. Whskey jumped up again. with small
arrivals. Provisions very quiet. The movement
groceries developed feature worthy Of special
note Cotton on the spot scarce and firmly held
while for future delivery the transactions lower
rates.

WALL STREET,

TUESDAY, Sept 0-6P.M
On 'Change to-day wheat was quiet, with large
receipts in prospect Corn ruled less active and
prices were barely maintained. Oats were again
in brisk demand. partly for speculation and prices
advanced. ta
THE MONEY MARKET
shows but little change from the condition of yes
Ierday. Lenders were firm in their rates OF per
cent currency and gold on demand loans, renewal
OF stock being made at per cent, and 1t was not
until late in the day that money left over found
market as low as per cent, the street rate 1t
again rallied, however and closed at 7. Discounts

GOLD DOWN TO 111X.
The Cold Exchange to-day was again the scene
0f active contest, during which the price was
forced through sundry fluctuations from 1117s to
1l2 1875 112H. 1t remained at these figures
until afternoon, when, fresh onslaught being
made, the price fell OF TO 11lH, closing at 111A.
1t is singular and almost unprecedented feature
OF this speculation that during gradual decline OF
four per cent there hos been little reaction, and
that after the present figure was reached some
bold operator did not step in to sway and for the
moment control the market. 1t is believed that

REAL ESTATE.

One Only Ripple on the Sea OF Specula-
tion-Salc OF the Eric Ratlroad-Fisk.
Gould-Grand Opera BOuRs House-Sfo
(Rapid) Transit Gloria hundi.
The only ripple OF excitement on the sea OF real
estate speculation yesterday was the announce
ment that the Grand opera House was for sale.
Dealers, ana those OF money who were not dealers,
paused In business to mediate on the mutations
OF human airars-especially those appertaining
to railways The Grand Opera House was bought
or rented for the use and amusement OF the Erie
Railroad. which at one time was represented by
four men OF unsurpassng cheek and immense re-
sources. Two OF these unscrupulous persons be-
longed to that despised class the professional
politician, and each IN his way was power to be-
dreaded by venal s0-called newspapers and out
at-elbows editors. The Grand opera House was
intended by Jim Flsk, and arranged by his
more cunning but less spirited partner in stock
inquity, as grand accommodation shop-a cover
for nefarOus transactions In money values. To
him the sound OF the orchestra drum, the wild
howl OF the buge. the shrek OF the piccolo, were
Tammany notes OF admiration Oi the management
OF Erie. The Grand opera House was to Fisk and
his satellite c0nsptrators as the Kitchen furniture
was to person whom literary people hold In
better remembrance

Jay Gould, Helen ID. Gould, his vile, and Lucy ID.

ually and as the executrlx OF her late husband,
are defendants Thus we approach this last scene,
last but one rather which will end the greatest
dramatic passage In real life which has presented
itself TO human observation. This sale indicates
the termination OF the story OF Fisk and Erie, and
points to new departure, In which the
Mephistopheles OF the road will bear no part.
The sale ended, 1t Is to be hoped there will be-
O different management OF Erie. Erie has been too
long opera 6otGe road, and IL Is time 1t should
open TO legitimate business. The property repre-
sented by the Grand Opera House Is o valuable
one, and no matter what the result OF the sale
mag be, 1t cannot indicate values or afford o
