_ —_— — ea a FINANCIAL’ AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MARKET. Tumspar, Dec. 19—6 P.M ‘There was a pretty general improvement in the stock market to-day. At the iret board Deleware gad Hudson advanced } per cent; Nicaragua Tren- mit, 4; New York Centsal Ra'lrosd, 1}; Brie Rail- eed, i; Harlem Railroad, }; Rosding Railroad, 3. Virginia Sixes fell off 4 per cect; Cleveland and Toledo, 2. Toe bank statement of this morning hed a favorable influence upon the minds of specniators. Judging from the extent of the transactions in the Joading railroad stocks, we should tt ink many hol?- ema had availed themselves of the opportanity to re- lize. An advance of three-quarters to one and s half per cent on a railroad fancy in these times is warth securing, and those who purme the petisy of realising small profits wien they can wilh havea fine balance in their favor, w :ile those who are look- ig fer large profits will look in vain, avd come out a the end of the season, at all events, minus the in- terest and commissions on their operations. Phe ‘Weekers moat live in some way, and speculstors can Detter afford to psy thems emall commission en small profits than a «mal! commicsion on large losses. Blnce the recent election of the New York Ose taal Railroad Compeny, there has been a good Geal of stock in the market, and the supply is Bkely to increase, particularly if there should be a advance 90 8s to enabie small holders to vealine more advantageously. Brie Railroad ap- pears to have a margin of about three per cent to fluctuate in, and it moves up and down to that extent pretty regularly. Harlem has been very uniform and steady for some days past, and seems to be neglected. It is generally considered a cheap stock at present prices, but very few take hold of it. ‘The company will pass ite nex: dividend on the pre- fered stock, and, of course, on the eld issue. Thi; will be saving to the company of one hundred and ‘ten thousand dollare—quite an importent item to make up past losses with. A few such semi-annual savings must strengthen the finances of the road materially. This is the only thorough way of extri- eating our railroad companies from their difficulties aud embarrasumenws. The policy pursued by the Mew York Central Company, in paying uneamed dividends by an issue of bonds, must lead to greater evils thax are by such a course avoided. It would he bad enough to pay earned dividends in bonds or Rew stock, but to make such an issue to pay unearn- ed dividends is in reality burning the candle at both ends. After the adjournment of the board, the following salen were made at auction:— $1,600 Green Bay, M. C. and Chicago & 10b shares Suffolk Bank Stock... «int added 75 12 50 do.

Eatle Railroad fell off 1 per cert; New York Central Railroad, 1; Reading Railroad, 3; Illinois Central Bonds, j; Cumberland Coal, }; Hudson River and Harlem were pretty well sustained. ‘The Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad Oompany have declared a cash dividend of five per ecat. ‘There will be no steamer from this port for Ea- vope until the 27th inst.

This is what every railroad company in the country would show if their officers would make a plain. honest, clever, straigot forward statement, and not deceive their atuckholders by reports of net earnings whivh have never been realized. The President of the Central Railroad, of Georgia, says :— Nearly the whole of the $73,200 paid ‘for road bonds fell due on the first day of October last, at which time wehad, in consequence of the epidemic, fallen short in the September receipts over $26,000, and were in the midst of circumstances truly distressing. It was impoa- sible to realize money even on the stock which we hold in the Southwestern Railroad Company, a stock paying eight per cent dividend, and which the board thought could be sold at or near par. In October the road re- ceipts fell off over $20,0C0. Since the first day of No- yember, when business was generally resumed, it ha: deen found impossible to sell even at great sacrifice the stocks held by the company. The line of discount an‘ dills recei not much more than enoagh te protect the culation and deposits, could not with pro; be reduced. The road earn- ings were of necessity used to their full ex- tent in road work and company’s bonds. for eS gs Abigale ape to fron rails about.... eee aoe $63, Rent of the Augusta and Waynesboro’ and other roads, about...........+ oh Road bonds due 1st May, °55. $5,000 Railroad, about.......... 58,000 Petals sasbue sia asss ce Jaieeteeey $277,000 Secing this large amount 20 oon to be paid, and’ the utter impossibility of realizing from the assets a sum sufficient to replace the road earnings so used, the board was unanimously of opinion that « stock dividend of ten per cent should in lieu of the semi-annual cash dividend of four per cent. It was seen that the Atai of the company being only $3,500,000, and the net income of the road as much ns. 8534,000 pet annum, stock could be issued to the amount of $350,000 without impairing the value of your property. It was recollected that the stockholders, at their meeting in March, 1851, expressed the opinion that a stock dividend could ‘be de- clared in this year, to the amount of $300,000, and it was known to the board that such a dividend at least was ex |. The board, therefore, did not hesitate to de- clare the dividend which they publish to-day. It will, we think, be fent to every careful examiner of the afiairs of the company, that by the course which the di- rectors have pursued, the condition of the company a made more satisfactory and stable than it ever has been. ‘The reserve fand now,..........+..++4+6+. $376,299 64 will have added to it (out of the said sum Of $134,945 84) 20.0000... cece eeseeessses 112,092 84 And farther, if the guarantesd stockholders Pip aget elect the stock dividend, there will be added. 22,018 00 And the fund, after being used to a bs fam al mw down the cost of the road to the actual road capital, so 6 to have the bank capital en- UPC, BE NOW... 5 ceerseerseesseseeserescess 208,790 00 It is subject to the road rent which we owe, and to fame any lors that may happen by depreciation of asne The sams already mentioned as soon to be paid, and dividend of four per cent can be paid in June next, with- out requiring more than $50,000 from the assets. That amount, if found , can be realized in the course of six months, without submitting to more thana very trifting loss. ‘Our bond debt, moreover, will be largely reduced by June next, and remaining bonds do not begin to fall due until 1857. And there will be no neces- sity for reducing the discount line, ‘Atter the dividend, now declared, shall have been paid to the stockholders, the capital of the company, if the guaranteed stockholders merge, will be as follows:— $5,644, 210 205,790 +++ $5,860,000 totl of $2,644,210, and the iron remaining to be re-laxd, and all other im- provements, can be finished in two years. 1000 Pan 2d isebd. 10000 I C RR bdsb3 $2 xhs Merchnts Bk 118 10 Del & Hud Canal 1041; Am Ex 95 skBSS82ses 52 338 SECOND $4000 Va G’s,....... 8939 2060 Pan Bae 24 iss 763, 15000 Tl Gen RR Bas 62%, 40 sha Corn Ex Bk.. 8034 10 Bk of Commerce 100 20 Del & Hud Canal 10434 150 G Hill Mine... . 4 200 do... 80 BH Kg ; 200 Reading RI + OG Wereroobs WR MO dus & Wor Ld,, oop | Iw Tumoav, Dec. 12—*P.

The pertod has again arrived when it becomes the duty of the Trustees of the Fire nt to communicate to the Representatives a statement of the condition of its finances, and to furnish them with a brief history of the transactions of the Board for the year which has just closed. The past has been,"perhaps, one of the most disastrous years on record, and amid calamities so gene- ral, and tisfortunes so wide spread, the members of this Department have not excaped being more or leas af- tected by the distressing events whieh have alternately touched ‘and sadéened the pubhe heart. Fire and pesti- lenee have, indeed, made gad havoc among our numbers; and scarcely had we wiped away the tears shed over the early graves of tho-e who peridbed at the in Broadway before we were called upon to lament the Joss and pay the last tribute of respect to those of our associates who were struck down by the terrible pesti- lence that hovered over our city during the past summer, To these distressing circumstances, the dificulty of ob- taining employment, the high rents, and exorbitant | prices of the necessaries of life, are to ‘be attributed the | large iperease in our expenditures for the present over the corresponding period of the last year—amounting, this yeux, to the sum of eighteen thousand nine hun: dred und eighty three dollars and sixty-one cen! ‘The Treasurer had remaining in his hands losty innee of $689 89; since which time he has “re frow various sourees, the sum of $34, the aggregate, amounts to $34,704 63; ont of whien there have been expended fer widows’ pensions, relief to sick and disabled firemen, &e., the sum of $18,983 61, in- | vented $9,000, re-invested $5,000—leaving a’ balance in | the Butehers’ and Drovers’ Bank, to the credit of the | Fire Department Fund, of $1,721 02. The permanent fund, (including Trust Funds und special ‘Trust Funds,) now amounts to $93,750, invested as follow: $95,500 on ye and iortgage, and $250 ip Manhattan Bank stock. ‘The School Committee are full, delicncy and responsibility of their position, and bave | exercised great care in the distribution of shoes among the children of firemen attending the public schools. There are now upwards of one thousand of these chil- dren in daily attendance at onr publie schools, many of whem evince decided talent, and will. no doubt, become not only ornaments of this community, but # credit to our insutution, which throws around them the mantle of its protection.

And it isa gratification to be able to state, that the means of the Department have been suffi- cient to meet all the demands made upon it, without “aes aside the distressed and needy applicant. The disbursement account for funeral expenses bas been unusually large; hut the dead fireman has been in- terred with due respect and solemnity, and his widow and orpban children have been carefully provided for. ‘The widows on the pension list now number about three hundred, who are in the regular receipt of pensions, which are paid quarterly, besides being supplied with shoee end coal, and such additional aid as their necess sities require. There are many more widows who, al- though not “regular pensioners, receive occasionally pe- cuniary assistance, For the year just completed the trustees have distributed fourteen hundred and thirty- six pairs of shoes and two hundred and ten tons of coal ng thone entitled to relief. ‘The trustees take occasion again to express their | Fie aye acknowledgments for the receipt of donations from many benevolently disposed individuals—To Wm. ‘nother very liberal donation; to Jones Gordon Bennett, Eaq.; tu 0.
