GOLD sTRONG-115H 115sl.
The gold market was strong under the further
manipulation OF the clique, who advanced the
price to 115%, which is the highest reached in over
two years, since September, 1870. The highest
point in 1871 was 1885, and the highest in 1872 was
1853. The beginning of ''squeeze" in cash gold,
deliveries despite the stringency in money in
duces belief that the clique have put the market
about high they deem 1t prudent for the pres
ent, and intend to milk. the street and "twist the

enough to pay them handsome daily considerations
for its use. 1t is said that the million and half OF

OF the pool TO the "shorts" the prospect is not,
therefore, q very agreeable one. On the other
hand gold greatly ifnot excessively inflated, and
If left to itself would tumble down at least five or
six per cent. With sight exchange at 1OSS there is
perhaps no bigger bubble in Wall street than gold
at l15I. After three O'Clock business in gold

It's now more than year since libel suit for

with c. II. WINFIELD, and the jury rendered YER
dict for the plaintiff assessing damages at So 500.
The defepeants carried the case into the Supreme
Court and had 1t put on from term to

verdict OF the Court below was sustained,
but the damages were reduced to $1,000 Chief
Justice Beasey rendered the decision. Yesterday
sheriff Reinhardt proceeded TO seize the effects in
the Office OF the paper, as one of the proprietors.
Mr. Dear refused to pay the damages and costs :
but finding that the Sheriff was inexorable he re-
luctantly handed over check for the amount-
This suit is only one Of half dozen against the

The Ultimate Stockholders in the East
River Bridge.

Mayor Powell yesterday stated in reference to
the proposed amendment to the bridge charter
providing for five representatives from each city
in the Board Of Directors instead OF three, now,
that the amendments in question had been intro
duced to increase the influence Of the two cities in
the Board, ana to make public what had hereto
not doubt but that the two cities would ultimately
take the whole OF the stock, and he thought New
York would move in the matter before the end OF
the present year. There was not man in the
company to-day who would not be ready to trans
fer his stock ''when the proper time came" for,
said the Mayor, 'they had not entered into tho
enterprise iOr the purpose OF making money"
Comptroller Schroeder thinks that II tho manage
ment had always made everything they had done
public they would never have become objects Of
suspicion.

STOCKS UNSETTLED.
The stock market opened strong and became
fairly buoyant in the earlier hours Of the day, fell
or about midday and strengthened up again at the
second board, but with the recurrence of the strin
gent rates for money toward three O'Clock de-
clined more, and In the last half hour OF busi-
ness lost pretty nearly all of the forenOOn's i'm
prOvement. The more active features were New
York Central Pacific Mail. Western Union and Erie.
New York Central advanced to 104H, and was
among the more successful stocks in retaining the
advance losing only q Of it ut the last moment.
The demand for
NEW YORK CENTRAL
is stimulated by the fact that another semannual
dividend is now nearly earned, and by the chance
that the Commodore may deem it proper to declare
per cent out of the enormous earnings Of
the past six months. Pacific Mail, which II un-
dergoing natural reaction after so large
q decline, recovered to 573s, but gave
way before tighter money and declined to 551l.
Western Union advanced from SO to s7ss, but was
similarly affected and receded to S6%. Lake Shore
touched 959s. Erie was weak in sympathy with
the fall in the London market and about q per
cent lower The most important huctuation OF the
day was in
HARLEM,
which advanced from 1888 to 1861 and closed 13e
a 1861 The recent gradual rise in this stock from
the vicinity OF 116 is now known to be reerable to
the quiet introduction OF bill at Albany to grant
the company a number OF generous privileges as to
extending its horse branches through the city,
so as to connect important points with the Central
Depot. The progress Of this bill was not made
public, and it was only when the Railroad Copmit-
tee reported it favorably to-day that the movement
was revealed, with the effect on the stock above
narrated. Rock Island advanced to 115S under
circumstances which again suggest that the buyers
are the Pennsylvania Railroad or Tom Scott party.
Panama sold at 120L and Boston, Hartford and

A tall young Scotchman, apparently sailor.
stepped briskly into Thomas McDonald's dry goods
store at the upper part OF Fulton avenue, and,
opening his coat, exposed shawl which he offered
for sale to the proprietor, intmatng that It had
been smugged from European steamer. A
parley ensued between storekeeper and pedler,
which resulted in disagreement as to the price
and the arrest of the latter on the charge OF ped
ding without license. The prisoner, who gave
his name as Patrick Mccormack, was taken before
Chief Of Police Campbell, yesterday forenoon,
when it appeared that he really did have permit,
and that he had himself purchased the shawl from
a New York house whose business card he ex-
hibited. The "smuggling' part OF the business
was only resorted 20 IN order to induce storekeep-
ers to purchase-in fact, "a trick of the trade"
Mcdonald was greatly crestfallen at these develop
business under false pretences The enterprising
pedler was discharged.

A Husband COntesting His Wife's WILL.
Thomas Noble of New Lots, l.. J., is contesting
the will of hls vile. Sophia Krober Noble, which
has been offered for probate in the Brooklyn Surro
gates Court. The will, which was made on the
18th of November 1871, beqneaths the testator's
property amounting to only about s3 5o0 to several
suburban Methodist churches and to Sophia Alt
manterger, Of Washington, ID. G. Mrs. Noble died
in December, 1872. The formal objections OF the
cOntestng widowcr have not yet been ned, but it
Is intimated that the wife was influenced by the
pastors OF the churches in question when she made
the bequests to the churches and that she was
laboring under the effects of liquor when the will
was executed.
