Banks assenting to tho arrangement deposit gold or currency with tho Assistant Treasurer in amounts sufficient to meet tho requirements ot tbeir customers. Checks are drawn by importers doslring to pay dutioB, these checks are certified by the bank and they are received by the Collector, who deposits them at the Sub Treasury whore they are oharged against the special deposit made by the bank. If this movement becomes general it will greatly facilitate tho busmossof the Custom House and be a decided convenience to the merchants. Exchange was dull and unchanged until Friday, when there was a decline in the posted rates and an eaBier tone to the market.

Mouey Is vory cheap in London and this has caused a better demand for long than for short sterling. Money remains at au averago of 1M per eent. on call and there seems no probability of au Immediate change. One feature of the time loan market has been the offering ot almost $5,000,000 Canadian government mouey through the agencies of the Canadian bonks and this has beeu placed at really prime collateral at iy, to 2 per cent, for sixty days to four months aud at 2a3 per cent, for from throe to six mouths. Of course, no domestic money can compete with those rates and lenders prefer to take their chances In the call loan market rathor than put their funds out at 1638 thau 2a3 percent, for sixty days to four months or at per cent, for from three to six monwis.

BBOOKLYN, June 29, 1883. MARY'S POLITICAL JOB. Justice Nacher Would Not Grant Her Requet but Sent Ber to Crow Mill. Mary Hammell, a young womau whose face still bears traces ot former beauty, was arraigned In the Gates avenue Police Court yostorday on a charge of Intoxication. Mary completed a term in Jail yesterday and celebrated tho event by gettiug drunk.

She asked to be sont back to Raymond street instead of the Penitentiary. Why are you so anxious to go back to Jail?" asked the Court. Because I had a political Job there," was the ready reply. "Pnlltleal 1nh. eh?" mused the Court "Perhaps you can get a similar Job in the Penitentiary.

I'll send you there for sixty days anynow. "No chance for loafing with Johnnie Green," re marked Mary as she went back. A certain citizen in a far West town pos sessed tho only tree in tho place, with a largo, strong limb at the proper distance from the ground, which he was in the habit of renting out to lynch InirnftrtlcR nt 5 oer meeting. The advent of tho Western Union Telegraph Company, with their long toinoranh nnles. ruined the Industry completely and destroyed a valuable source of iuoome for the owner of the tree.

Leading Features of the Markets in June. Stopka Unfavorably Affected by Reduced Tariffs Gold Shipments to Germany The Course of the Market for the Week Exchange Easy and Money In Abuudant Supply. Wall Street Saturday evening, June 30.

Treasury purchases of bonds were light during June, but money was not affected thereby, the rate on call remaining easy, and there was by no means an urgent demand for theae loans, although quotations were low. Exchange was steady and not quite up to the gold Importing point, but an inquiry for gold for shipment to Germany led to the export of a moderate amount. The stoek speculation was unfavorably affected by the prolonged discussion of the Tariff bill; by the action of tho Iowa Railroad Commissioners In promulgating rates below those formerly ruling by cuts by tho Trunk lines and by reduced dividends on some of tho principal Western roads, and the bears, taking advantage of this condition of affairs, forced more or less imponaui declines during the month. Tho nominations by tho Presidential conventions had no particular influence and after they were made the market became dull and operations were mainly confined to the traders. Ono prominent event was the placing of tho Philadelphia and the Reading 4 per cent, fifty year loan for $28,686,000 in Louden and New York and another was the purchase by the Pullman CarCompnnvof tbe ala ecaroutfltof Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Among the defaults lu Interest on June 1 was that of the Minneapolis Sr luis. which was caused by competi ion and by almost ruinously low rates Im posed by tho Railroad Commissioners of the State of Minnesota. The Chicago, St.Paul and Kansas City announced its intention to ignore the fourth section of the Interstate Commerce law, being compelled by the competition of other lines to take this course, and tho Commissioners appointed a day iu July for hearing arguments. The decision in this case will be looket. for with some Interest, tor the reason that if it 1b adverse to the railroad company there Is a fair prospect that an appoal will bo taken to the United Stales Supremo Court.

Tho stock market was dull and irregular during tbo first week in June.but there was a strong undertone and If the bull traders had beeu disposed to take advautago of the existing short Interest, prices could have been readily advanced. Among tho features was a rise in Union Pacific based upon a report thattne ponding bill In Congress would soon bo taken up. Rending advanced on Monday in anticipation of the placing of tho new loan and there was a fair improvement in the Grangers. On Tuesday the announcement that the Reading loan would be offered on the following day caused realizing sales in that stock and the tendency was downward for all the loaders on Wednesday, but a reduction In the Bank of England discount rate on Thursday and a rise in Americans In Loudon Induced a re covery Sore and the market was strong until Saturday, when news that tho Iowa Railroad Commissioners had adopted a rate sheet which called for a reduction of about 40 per cent, below existing tariffs encouraged the bears to attack the grangers aud the market was unsettled aud weak at the close. During the next weea mo ket was Irregularly downward until Thursday, it bo ng influenced by disquieting reports regarumg i inteutions of tho Iowa Commissioners, uy upon Manhattan Elevated and New int.

On Tuesday the movement was irregular In consequence of realizing sales, but in the afternoon tho toue rocovereu was treuerally strong at tho close and a hetter foeliug for the remainder of the week, encouraged by the declaration of a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. lor hock ismu" announcement of the usual aiviueuas ou mo During the fourth week in the verv dull, but tho under tone was firm and the tardy deliveries of stocks In rfi.n nvistnnce of a very large short interest. but the bull leaders wero apparently not Inclined mL nnvanraee ot this fact.

Money on call did not rise above an average of iy. per cent, during the entire month. The rates on time loans on pledgos of first class collateral fell from a in i Dor cent, for sixty days to four months thi, hnslnnineof Juneto2a3 at the close, and de minnn from 3W to 5 oer cent, for four months to tho nn of the vear to 3a4 per cent by Juno 30.

On Monday the bears woro Inclined to asaail Lake Shore and tho other trunk line proportios on news of vigorous cutting in dressed beef rate. but the decllue was comparatively slight Then an attack on St. Paul and the other grangers wtys made on reports that the Iowa rato sheet would be put in force on the 28th. The fall was checked toward noon, but iu the afternoon the bearish demonstration was renewed and the market closed weak. On Tuesday the touo tra3 heavy at the opening, but there was an early Improvement and the market was to stroug for tho remainder of the day.

On Wednesday purchases for European account and some covering of short contracts kept the market firm during the morning. In tho afternoon the moveraout was Inclined to bo heavy, but a recovery set la about 2 o'clock aud tho tendency was upward to the close. On Thursday thore was a general advance soon after tho opening, led by the graugora, Now England, tho Gould properties oud Heading, and the market was strong during the remainder of tho morulng. The rise In the Gould specialties was In anticipation of a settlement of the differences between tho Missouri Paci0c and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and the advance In the grangers was stimulated by news that a restraining order would be applied for to prevent the rates of the Iowa commissioners being carried Into effect July 5. The market was dull, but the tone was generally strong In tho afternoon and to tho close.

On Friday there Was a very quiet market, but tho undertone was firm, aud it so continued throughout the day and the trunk lines woro decidedly influenced by tho announcement of tho ending of tho rate war on dressed meats.
