6 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. TuyRsDAY, Dec. 3-6 P, M. ‘The money marker to-de¥ was more active through avery tair inquiry, Dut the demand was fully met, ‘Tue rate on cal! loans on mixed collaterals was seven per cent, sad on governments six, Upou the latter there were exceptions both ways, at five and at | seven. ip morning the inquiry was quite active, and jenders were frm inasking the full legal rate. Later in the day they Were satisfied with six, and Dalunces toward the Close of banking hours were placed at five. The*loaus at this last mentioned ngure were few enough to be called exceptionable, go that the properly quotable rate is six to-seven per cent. More wouey ts going to the South and West, particularly to the vicinity of New Orleans. A great Gea! of the cotton crop has been slow in getting to the seaboard. Currency is now called for to pay for what has been sudienty moved. The day in the gold board was a repetition of yes- terday in steadiness and dulness. ‘The price opened at 195, declined to 13474 and advanced to 1354, the ! losing price, The transactions at the Gold Ex- change Bank were quite limited, The gross ciear- ings Were:—$47,387,000, the gold balances $1,911,972 mdi the currency balances $2,745,262. The Bremen steamer took ont $158,000 in specie. The govern- | 1 Ment gold brought $155.04, wuieh was a very fair price and near*the market figure. Sub-Treasurer Van Dyck has expressed the opiuion that the pre~ sent series of government sales wi!! be the last of this year. The loaning rate suowed « plentingss of cash gold.

The refusal of the American Express Company to reopen their books for the traasfor of stocks to Rames of presen’ iders was the occasion of a reso- lution adopted in the Stock Exchange to suspend their name from the cali list for the preseut. The confusion among brokers concerning this stock under the new relations ad by consolidation with the Merchants’ Union is of the most perplexing and annoying character. Government bonds were steady and strong at the morning board. An improvement of about one- eighth on an average took place iu prices at the noon call.

Havana, Noy, 28, 185%, Notwithstanding the statements of the local press that Bulmaseda, with his troops, had arrived at Puerto Principe and been enthusiastically received, itis now pretty weil settled that on or about the 20th he arrived there in person and by favor of the insurgents who surround the city, his troops being left behind at Vertientes or vicinity, and himself escorted by insurgents, In order to understand this @ brief glance at the situation is necessary, The in- surgents in the jurisdiction of Puerto Principe are almost entircly made up of young men from the city of that name and tie surrounding country. They are in entire accord with the liberal ideas recently triumphant in Spain and at present only demand that Ouba shall be placed, tm all respects, on the same footing with the peninsular provinces. Failing this they will strike for independence for the time making common cause with the insurgents further east, who have already hoisted the standard of independence. It is of great importance to the government that they should not be entirely driven over, and towards them particu- Jarly a conciliatory policy is to be adopted. They number between 2,000 and 3,000, with excellent arias: and horses and well accustomed to their use, the boldest and most manly of the Cuban population, with a passion for liberty and chivalric ideas, In case the rising should extend all over the island they would form a nucleus of an army which, habituated to the climate and with a perfect knowledge of the country, would be able to cope with any force which Spain could bring against it. General Balmaseda, Who goes ont there to assume command and with full powers for negotiation, is well known in the sec- tion and extremely popular. If I am not misin- formed he married a Cuban lady of Puerto Principe. Many of the insurgents are personally acquainted with bim; some of then are undoubtedly his friends, In this state of affairs he has been permitted, without his troops, to proceed to the city, and a meeting be- tween him and the insurgent leaders, the result of which may be known here at any inoment, has taken place. The Kanal, of Puerto Principe, in its issue of the 20th, contains a proclamation of that date to the inhabitants of this jurisdiction stating that he (Bal- miaseda) has come among them as a friend and peacemaker, and assuring them that the franchises and concessions for which they are so impatient are coming by the next steamer from UVadiz,.and that the moment they arrive they will be put in practice by the Captain General A gentleman who recently arrived here, having left Puerto Principe on the isit, states that Balmaseda had not yet arrived, but le was expected, without his command, and that the Interview mentioned was to take place. He repre- sents the state of feeling then as highly favorable to compromise, and it is highly probabie one will be made. He describes the, msurgent Jorce as of the character and numbers hereinbelore mentioned, and under the command of Agramonte, a brave and dashing officer, generous and chivalric. An inte- restiug incident ia mentioned of him, which { repeat, ing the character of the man. Soon after urrection broke out @ Spanish officer, with some twenty or thirty men Femaing through the country, Was surrounded by a large force of insur- gents aud his surrender demanded, He at first re- and prepared to defend himself. The utter inu- tility of this was represented to him, and he was urged to spare such ap useless effusion of blood ag would foliow an encounter. After considering for two days, without (ood’or Water, le surrendered, and with his troops was paroled. Immediately they were provided with am excelient meal, were treated with every courtesy, and with their side arms were per- miti@d to proceed to Puerto Princibe, At tie same time the insurgent commander sent a note to the jJovernor, stating the clrcumsiances of the case and complimenting the ofMcer. Upon his arrival the of- cer was placed under arrest, tried by court-martial and sentenced to be shot. Hearing of this the rebel chicf sent a communication to the Governor, stating that if the sentence wascarricd into effect he wontd shoot two Spaniards then in his possession, mean- wiile and until the oficer was released holding them as hostages, ‘This had the desired effect. Should the compromise aliuded to be made tt will most unqnestionably soon lead to a termination of the insurrection, as its projectors can hope for suc- cess only in unity and concert of action ; and in the present temper of the Spanish nation no attempts wouid be made to push matters to an extremity, in this connection [ may state that everything fore- shadows a liberal policy towards Cuba, The Diario de ia Marina DP smorage the foliowing telegram from Don Manuel Calvo, a wealthy Ouben, now in Madrid, addressed jointly to Count Cailongo, the venerable Cuban patrician, and Don Julian mgen a@ wealthy plauter, It bas tickled many of the well dis; Cubans, particuiarly the owners of siaves:— MADRID, Nov, 24, 1868. Thave had an interview with the Colonial Minister and de- livered the mernorfal with signatures, which be received with thank all’ aod ised thas in kindness, He me to Cuban matiers he would not move nor allow over, ing the volce of the id we to be represented in the Cortes, aud, that everything, would be conducted in # prudent and liberal spirit, and his cbief inspi- fation waa to sala the alfection of all Cubans = There are, moreover, many indications from the authorities here that Cuba will be treated in a libe- Ta! spirit. Nothing of importance is oiticlally re- ported from tue seat of insurrection during the past week. Dates to the 20th from Santiago de Cuba, as mentioned in the oMcial paper, state that’order and tranquillity reign there; that the military bands play in the plaza at the usual hour and many ladies are seen about the streets. The commanding general of the department is making all possible preparations for an offensive movement against the insurgents. ‘The conciliatory proclamation of Balmaseda its paving, as stated, an excellent effect and causin any of the maicontents to come into accord wi the government. In Manzaniilo, soon after Balma- seda left with his troops for Vertienies, an attack was nade by the insurgents, who were re; by the garciacn, the volunteers and 4 war vessel then in the harbor. ‘The steamer Cienfnegos, which arrived at Batabano on the 24th brought # number of political prisoners, who were confined in that piace. On the 15th of October the people of Las Tunas received the first notice of the reinforcement under Lono, coming by the way of Manitt. The force of the Yara rebels atthe time numbered from 350 to 400 men. Ip the campaign which followed the caval- ry suffered great hardships. ‘The King’s Lancers sent out froim Puerto Principe (doubtless to operate in conjunction with Louo) arrived at Las Tunas oa the 17th. On the way they‘liad several encownters, Whenever the enemy were charged by the bayonet they were invariably routed and scattered, The troops were often ambuscaded and with fatal etfect, A com- pany of the Queen’s regiment marched through the country to Manitl Its encounters with the jusurgents are aot detailed; the commander, Fran- cisco Martinez, was killed and lis successor Gil de la Mota was afterwards wounded, ‘The first formal tmovement for an attack on rebel entrench- ments with flags flying took piace on the 2ist. The government troops consisted of 120 of the Queen's regiment of tnfaniry and forty-six of the 8 regi: ment of cavalry, al! under commana of Captain Luis Garcon Machin. This action took piace in Hormiguero, It was an a fight on both sides, A hand to hand con- test with bayonets and lances foliowed, tertninatin, favorably io the troops, Who captared two pleces o! artillery, fifty muskets, sixtoen guns, five _— twenty machetes, fifty pounds of powder, six horses, the correspondence and the rehel nag. The insur- gents had forty Killed and a considerable number wounded, On the 14th the steamer Uilos arrived at Gibara, with halfof the regimeatof the San Quintin chas- seura, Commandaut Bonich. On the 15th they soarched to Holguin, On the 16:h, afer beating & rebel force of 200 men, and taking nine prisoners, With horses and arms, 100 were seat to Alfonsos to Teconnoitre. But the heavy rains rendered the roads impassabie, and the column returned. On the 19th they encountered forty rebeia, who fired on their van- guard, but dispersed on being charged with the bay- onet. They them proceeded to Plasuelas, where a lively encounter took piace, wita like results as before mentioned. There were captured here three guns, six machetes and thirteca horses. They were again threatened by the rebels on the 20th, who retreated beiore the bayonet. On reaching the Arroyo del Muerto they found the revels intrenched, but immediately attacked and dispersed them. ‘Thonce they went to Palmilias, wheis they found nothing to eat.

TEE BALTIMORE AND ONI0 RAILROAD MONOPOLY. Wasurnaron, Dee. 3, 1868, A movement has been organized by the most wealthy and tnfiuential citizens of Washington and vicinity to break up the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road monopoly that has controlled the freight and passenger transportation between bere and other parts of the Union for the past thirty-six years. It may not, perhaps, be generally known, but it is never- theless the fact, that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company will not permit the New York Central, New York and Erie or the Pennsylvania Cen- tral Railroad companics to sell through tickets or check baggage through to Washington, via Northern Ccutra! and Baltimore and Ohio Washington brauch roads—the only practicable route for thelr Western patrons. Nor will the monopolists themselves sell tickets over the above mentioned roads, The men who have the matter in hand of breaking up the dogin the man- ger policy are not the sort to stop at half way measures. They Deld their second meeting to-day at the City Wall, Speecues were made by Amos Ken- dali, Robert J, Walker and others, after which the following report, presented by the committee ap- pointed for the purpose at the meeting om the 12th uit, was adopted:— REPORT OF THE COMMITIER, Your commitice liave had the matter referred to them under consideration and recpnunend chat chars ters for four lines of railroads be requested of Con- gress, one to be known as the National Railroad North, one as the National Xatlroad South, one to ran to Pot Lookout, to be known as the National Chesapeake liailroad, and one to run to the nearest point on Cheasapeake Bay, to be known as the Na- tional ‘transportation Company, to intersect with the Northern Central near York, Pa., aud the Pennsyl- vania Central at a point east o: Harrisburg. This would make a tirst class road to’New York city (via Alientown Toad) and to Philadelphia (via Peunsyl- vania Central). it will be but a few miles ionger than the present route, and owing to the fact that it does not pass through Baltimore or around Philadet- phia, and will be free from long stretches of dan- gerous trestiework, it can be run in less time and at very much less cost. Besides this i will make the best connection with Pittsburg, Buffalo and tne West and Northwest, In short, it would be the trank line to Washington from alitie Northern and Western States, ‘The second road is to run from this city south. ward and counect with the Virginia Central and Loudon and Hampshire railroads at a point so reach Cincinnati, St, Louis and Louisville by a much shorver route than any one now in use, if this road wus opened the price of farm products would be re- duced in our market at least twenty per ant and as two of te roads contemplated reach the finest coal fields in the world their construction would at once reduce the cost of that article to consumers here. ‘The power of Congress to build roads or authorize them built for military or postal service cannot now be for one instant doubted, and we believe it will, without unnecessary delay, grant the required char- ng. In the tre we ee oovare ay present Congress provision w! mi r Openiny books, Which hall remain oj @ suificient time rnd enabie all who desire to su and if more ig subscribed than i required it shall be stricken pro rata from the largest subscribe thereby preventing the charter from being controll by @ few wealthy subscribers, Provision will also be made to adopt as part of the route any road now constructed, upon terios that may be just and right. Your committee cannot doubt that Congress wil) readily grant the required charters, and have every reason to believe that the stock wili be at once taken and the road batlt insxie of one year. Every mem- ber of Congress is the representative of the citizens of Washington, Certainly, they ali desire to promote the luterests of our national capital, which alone can be done by br seg! new and better roads to it from all parts of the Union. The only road to this city from the North and West is tne timore and Ubio, and such a system of exaciions as this road has made upon the pee the United States visiting their national capital or sending freight thither is un- known in the history of raiiroads. Washi vranch was built under an act of the Maryland - islature of 1830 and an act of Co! of 1831, by both of which Legler gs ete ye and passen- ger rates—are limited, but the legal limits are nev- ertheless entirely disregarded by the company. 8: that charter the road suould have been gove! . No power could alter it, excepting the powers that gave it—Congress and the Maryland Legisiature, In 1836 and 1536 the Maryland Legisiature author- ized the alteration of these charges, but that act was of no force uniess the consent of Congress was also obtained, which has nover deen done. As an exain- ple of the character of these charges for transporta- tion we have had our attention cailed to the case of a merchant who shipped hardware from England to this city. The ocean charges (3,000 miles) were lesa than the railway freight from Baltimore to Washin ton, thirty-nine miles. Another case shows an all rail freight charge from Chicago to Baltinore on a parcel of freight to be less than from Baltimore to this city. Such cases may be satd to be almost with- out number, aitof them in violation of the charter, which fixes the prices within reasonable limits, By the act of the Maryland Legislature of 1832 pas- sengor fare from Baltumore to Washington was fixed at two collars aud fifty cenis, of which sum fifty cents was to be paid to the State of Maryland. By the act of 1835 the charges were fixed at one dollar and fifty cents, one-fith of which was to go into the Maryland Treasury. ‘hese acts were not approved by Congress, yet, in violation of their charter, the iimore and Onto Railroad Compaay has for thirty- six years been fleecing the public for the benefit of its own and the Maryland State Treasury. ‘That Congress ought to.take steps to put an end to these outrages is the sentiment of our entire com- munity, Karly in 1863 the principal railroad coim- ies Im the United States held a convention in ‘his city and agreed to carry soldiers for the govera- ment at reduced rates—about two ceats per mile— et the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company re- sed to accept this ee ee and chorged and has received fall first class passenger fare for ail soldiers, no matter how transported, and in this fare collected the Maryland tax. Every soldier who has- tencd to his navional capital to defend tt during the Tedeliion was taxed by the State of Maryland thirty cents on coming and thitty cents more when he re- turaed home after being mustered out of service, anc if he meanwhile mado a visit to his family the Maryland tax was sixty cents for the round trip, while the bodies of those who feil in the defence ot their country were charged double price when re- turned to their Kindred. Every father and mother me to Wasitngton to meet or seck their sons ¢ hospitals were thus taxed. The small tribute 1 on our shipping by a foreign Siate and which ovee commanded the tnterposition @ our govern ment Was uothing in comparison to this; yet Den- tmark i many thousand miles away irom Wash- ington. For weeks and months all soldiers on the way to join the army df the Potomac were obliged to pass ‘ough the outskirts of Baltimore to prevent riow sud bioodshed; nevertheless the State of Maryland did not ia any lustance fail to collect the tax on cach, What reaton exiated for the payment of higher rates to the Baltimore acd Oho Raliroad Mes le! than to any other it isnot our duty to inquire, It could afford to carry soldiers at less rates, as they had larger numbers to carry. What wonder that there should be millions of dollars surplus in the company’s treasury at the close of the war? That such favors were extended to the Baltimore and Oo Raliroad Company on account of the Union fentiments of its managers could ndt have been, as the correspondence, dated April 19, 1861, Will show: dons W, Gannerr, President Baltimore and Obio Railroad Company: Sra We he troo] w here be sent back to the borers so res nom NORGE M.

Yesterday witnessed another day of marked ac- tvity in real estate, quite a considerable quantity of which was disposed of at auction at the Exchange Salesroom. The offerings consisted mainly of New York unimproved property, although some improved clty and some Brooklyn property, of both descrip- tions, was likewise included. The sales were con- ducted by Messrs. A. J. Bleecker, Son & Co., Allen & Brown, Muller, Wilkins & Oo., E. H, Ludiow & Co. andJames M. Miller. The attendance was large and the prices generally satisfactory. Some unimproved property, noticeably that on Sixty-ffth street, near Madison avenue, and on Ninety-sixth street, near Ninth avenue, went very cheap, and much below its value, Tuls 19 not remarkable at this s.ason, how- ever, and is by no means to be regarded as indicating @ reaction in the market, the close of the year always resulting in limiting speculation and check- ing investments of this kind. Below we give full particulars of each sale, tucluding the names of the purchasers. Auction Sales of Real Estate Yesterday. NEW YORK PROPERTY—BY A.
