PHIAL COMMERCIJL. A FIRM STOCK MARKET. A Cheerful of the Situation. THE GOLD CLIQUE IN A MUDDLE. Kaiser William nnd President MacMuhou.

MONEY EASY. Another Report Forthcoming from Pacific Mail. Wall Strekt, Monday, June P. M. On 'Change to-day cotton was quiet and steady for spot, white futures were In moderately fair demand at a improvement.

Flour was dull. Wheat and cum were In demand but at decidedly tower prices. TDK FORKION MARKET. In consequence of the holiday abroad, this being Wblt-Monday, we have no London advices, save a press despatch to the London Times, from Berlin, which states that Germany Is dissatisfied with President MacUahon's address to the French Assembly and will not enter into regular diplomatic relations with his government until satisfied that France will adhere to the Treaty 01 Frankfort. This Is not a statement likely to affect the markets on either side of the Atlantic; first, because It is Improbable, and secondly because the financial world Is already aware that France is even now prepared to pay to the attermost farthing the last instalment of the indemnity dne on account or ttio war.

The bank of France has not only offered to advance the amount, hnt the people themselves, by economical living; and honest Industry, have earned and saved enough to All the Treasury with more than Is sufficient to pay this public deot, Immense as it has been, and in another year will be piling up that which will give France a financial prestige and credit which, under the circumstances, may be written down as a marvel in the history 01 nations. Like other incidental events that are seized upon in Wall street to secure an artificial value tills may be of use, when it becomes public property, to affect gold; but, so tar as we are at present advised, tlie rumor has been poured through an English sieve that will hot hold water. THE MONEY MARKET. The money market has been easy to borrowers on call at5a0per cent, prime mercantile paper readily at 7 a per oent. Foreign exchange Is strong, with a more active business, prime sterling being lor prime bankers' sterling and a 110 lor short sight.

The following are the quotations as Sterling, sixty days' commercial, 108 a good to prime bankers', a short sight, a 110: Paris, sixty days, 6.30 a 6.25; short sight, 5.21% a 6.20; Prussian thalers, 71 a 72; Antwerp, 6.27% a 5.22%; Switzerland, 6.26% a 6.21 Hamburg, a 90; Amsterdam, a Frankfort, a Bremen, a 96. The public debt statement lor May shows a decrease In the debt of $30,626,000. The receipts ironi customs to-day were The treasury balances in connection with the public debt statement are as tollows Currency $6,000,000 Coin 76,500,000 Certificates 30,600,000 Outstanding legal tenders 356,000,000 The beoks of the Treasury Department show that $240,000 or called 3 per cents are still outstanding. The Internal revenue receipts to-day were $660,000. It Is estimated that the receipts for the month of June will be $9,600,000.

OOLD A The same muddle exists in the gold market that has been recorded for several days. The clique have louud it uphill work to fight public sentiment, and prices instead of advancing liave, from one Influence and another, either steadily held their own or receded, as was the case to-day. Every effort has been privately made which the season of the year warranted to create a spec llative leeling, and even the banks have been Invoked In taking the preliminary to lend their power to the monster combination. Somehow or other, however, the programme has met with a check, aud it IB now not wholly Improbable that the effort to make a squeeze will be abandoned. The action of Secretary Kichardsou in announcing his June policy naturally had its effect to weaken gold to-day, but there are other and deeper causes beyond this mere temporary incentive to a drop which arc likely to act as a barrier between the public and any crisis in specie.

STOCKS STEADY AND FIRM. The stock market shows a cheerful nndertone. With the exception of Pacific Mall, about wlitch there Is 4 lingering doubt, fhr reasons that will be stated hereafter, the feeling concerning the future of securities is more hopeiul and buoyant than it has boen during the last or the preceding week. Indeed, a comparison or the quotations for several days will demonstrate that there Is a current of confidence at work, the resultant of which is a slow but steady appreciation of values. The movement In New York central, for instance, is very decided, the price having advanced from on Saturday to to-day, the lowest price being but with the largest transactions at the higher figures.

This Improvement la doubtless due to the enlargement of lacllltieB lor labor ami earnings, now in progress. Lake Shore exhibits a similar Impulse, the advance to-day having been Der cent. The stock opened at dropped far a moment to 91, then recovering sold at 92, but at the last board strengthened and closed at Western Union opeued at retired to but rebounded and remained firm to the end, with slight fluctuations between and the highest point of the day being Ho Island took part in the general improvement and meved up to being higher than the best price of Saturday. St. Paul was Arm between the extremes of a improving with the later tone of the market.

To. ledo and Wabash also advanced, opening at and closing firm at 69 a Ohio and Mississippi sold at and closing at the last named figure. Delaware, Lackawanna and estern was steady at an average oi 106. C. and I.

C. ranged irom to Erie simply held its own at a In Union Pacltlc there was considerable activity, but not suillcicnt to cause a larger vibration than about per cent. The chlcl speculative feature or the Board continues to be Pacific Mail, its stock opening at dropping to 40, to a before the call, reaching at the first board to 40, moving up a traction after noon, but eventually dropping to a a L9, ut which price it closed. Tue impression of tne street is that Pacific Mail is a good deal like an April of showers and sunshine. Just now storms are foreboded.

People who know say that within a week a statement will be presented by the new Hoard of Directors that will cause the holuers of stock to about for a first class obituary notice, because it will be made to appear tkat there is a million or two of difference between actual lacts and mere suppositions. On the other the shrewder ones insist that the whole present plan Is to bear the market to the worst aud then open battery in regal style as the precursor of an olu-tlme battle. The Board of Directors met to-day, and among other things look Into consideration a letter addressed to them by a prominent banker aud two other gentlemen, requesting that a true statement or the affairs ol the company should be Issued lor the benefit ot the statement that would neither mislead the public, thwart the interests ol the company nor do injustice to truth. Am above Intimated, it is understood that such a report is iorthcomlng, the accountants being already at work upon the all-important figures, and that it will be gloomy enough to make everybody "stand irom under" and say Wall street prayers.
