» " FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Tucrspay, Dec, 17—6 P. M. ‘The rumors that have been current for some days Of another “lock-up”.being in contemplation gained freer circulation to-day, in the face of ® more active money market than has ruled yet since the period of the last operation of that character. Notwithstand- ing this seeming corroboration of such an intended scheme, it does not in reality appear that there is ‘Much ground for the fears entertained or expressed 4n some quarters of this finality. It is one of the features of business in Wall street and on the Stock Exchange that the wildest rumors ‘obtain believers aad currency, the ease with (which stories the most ridiculous can be concocted ‘and retailed without fear of contradiction appear- ‘ing to work inversely in the extent to which such ‘influence men’s minds, Something more than the “ordinary grano salis ts needed in the reception of ‘the rumors which prevail here, and if people could only be educated to upply this test to the many in- ‘ventions that are set afloat for their discomfture “there would be fewer “lame ducks’ picking their ‘uncertain way through the soiled thoroughfares of ‘ppeculation, In connection with this bugbear of | ‘another “lock-up” there are names mentioned which we forbear to disclose, the idea of which, in such ‘essociation, is incredible, and the use of which leads jus to the supposition that the whole thing is a cou- tion, “a weak invention of the enemy,” who so jately figured thus discreditably. It is a little singu- lar that the parties who before hesitated not avail themselves of this ruse to create a tight joney Market should appear now in the virtuous of endeavoring to defeat another like attempt, nd just at a time, too, when, su‘fering from the se- ere rebuke administered to them for their reckless- ‘mess in this and other matters, it is all important hat they should in some way recover the confidence ithdrawn from them, and again secure sympathy land aid whereby to reinstate themselves in their ‘Yormer position. ) Itis barely possible still, however, that this move- ment, designed to produce an artificial stringency the money market, although at present pre- mting no other evidence of ils existence than ere assertion, may be really on foot. It would too much to assume that simply because dishon- ‘orable it will not be attempted, but we feel confident hat, however shrewdly planned, it will fail of its ob- ct. Fortunately for the respectable business men ‘of the street, the honorable conservative dealers, ‘phould the banks lend themselves as before to any Buch measure, the Secretary of the Treasury is in a ition, and, we are assured, prepared to come to eir relief and frustrate this impudent effort to dis- ‘arrange the business of the country. There are ten ‘millions unemployed in the Treasury which will be ‘used for this purpose, and with such a reserve avail- ble no apprehension of any great monetary trouble eed be entertained. The truth or falsehood of this story, therefore, be comes a matter of less moment in its probable effect m the market, if true, than the principle involved its contemplation. It is well that at a period so orable for the carrying out of a scheme of that as the present, when a natural scarcity of money is looked for, consequent upon the banks calling in their loans, preparatory to making up their quarterly statement, the government is in a condition to remedy the evil which would be occa- @ioned by such a plot. But whether true or false, good would come out of Yho evil feared if Congress, in the exercise of its Yegitimate power to regulate trade, would, by timely ‘Jegislation, prevent the accomplishment of any such echeme in the future. The English common law in ‘the interests of public economy treated as a crime hat is known as ‘“forestalling.”” How much greater e offence of those who, to secure a paltry profit of ‘@ few thousand dollars, conspire to dam up the fruc- ‘tfying current of commercial activity and paralyze ‘the enterprise and industrial energy of a whole people. Such should be placed under the ban of criminal enactment, The money market worked somewhat more closely ‘0-day than for some days past, although the supply ‘was found fully equal to the demand. The rate for borrowing on all classes of securities was seven per cent, and we learn that in some cases loans were made at gold interest, As yet there isno greater wearcity of money apparent than might be naturally looked for at this time, with a heavier drain of cur- Tency South and West than was perhaps expected, and the approaca of ,the time for banks to make up their quarterly statement; and it is extremely probable that the story of an Intended “lock-up,” was got up in view of this tightness in the expectation that the natural stringency, being mistaken for an artificial effect, ‘would awaken apprehension and bring about the same result. An active demand exists for loans to bridge over the holidays, and in many cases a com- mission is paid for their negotiatiou over and above the legal rate. There was not much doing in com- mercial paper to-day, except produce bills, which fre of short dates. The rate for prime names is nominal—seven to nine per cent. Foreign exchange ‘was quiet to-day on the basis of London sixty days, 109%; a 2095 ; short sight, 11034 a 11034, Other rates are:—Paris, sixty days, 6.20 a 5.1634 ; short sight, 6.13% a 5.13% ; Antwerp, 5.20 a 5.16, witzerland, 6.20 a 6.16%; Hamburg, 355 a 36}; ; Amsterdam, 40% a 4114; Frankiort, 40%; a 413; Bremen, 78} @ 79; Prussian thaiers, 71}; a 72, Gold opened this morning at 134%, sold up to 134%, ‘Dut subsequently declined to 44, at which figure it closed, After Clearing House hours it sti‘fened slightly, and was quoted at the close of business 13445 & 1345. The market throughout the day was ‘weak and neglected, the more favorable news from Europe of affairs between Turkey and Greece and the general anticipation of a decision in favor of the Legal Tender act operating to keep down the pre- mium, and holders being indisposed to sell while these depreciating influences operated. Cash gold ‘was plenty, and from 4to6 per cent was paid for carrying. The heavy disbursements of coin interest looked for in January will doubtless prevent any advance on the present premium ‘unless some new sensational influences be applied to the market. The transactions at the Gold Ex- change Bank to-day comprised the foliowing:—Gold dalances, $1,934,359; currency balances, $3,007,170; gross clearances, $55,848,000, Governments opened this morning about 34 off the quotations of last night and continued weak and irregular at the first board, with a manifest indispo- sition on the part of hoiders to offer at the reguiar call, but @ willingness to accept private bids, At the noon call a better feeling was shown and @ large business was done in '02’s at 110. Over a million and a half of these were sold during the day at that figure, but they subsequently weakened and elosed at 10074, bid. At the last call rates exhibited a decline of about '{ throughout the entire list from the morning quotations, After the boards the mar- ‘ket continued dull and heavy, but firm, at the fol- jowing quotations up to five o’clock:—Unitea Bates 0's, Pacific Railroad, 997, @ 903; do. do., 1881, registered, 109% a 109%; do. o., coupon, 114% a 114%; do. 5-20's, registered, 106 a 10644; do., coupon, 1862, 110% a 110%; do, do., 1364, 106% @ 107; do. do., 1865, 10794 a 10744; do. do., now, 1865, 1097 @ 110; do. do., 1967, 109% a 110; do. 0., 1868, 11034 @ 11054; do., 10-40'n, registered, 10255 8 102%; do, do., coupon, 105% & 10534.

With each movement it carried the market with it; but aithongh creating @ buoyant feeling in most of the stocks, it did not induce other than Itmited transactions, There has been a noticeaole absence of outsidersyfrom the market during the past few days, the very many stories that have been extensively started, circulated and contradicted having fright- ened them away, In spite of this, however, the market, having advanced in sympathy with Cen- tral, maintained a strong, firm tone, and, although declining when that stock fell off, still closed at a con- siderable advance upon the mofning’s quotations. ‘The appearance of the market docs not certainly NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1868—TRIPLE SHEET, “bear” out the assertion of a powerful combination to depress it, while it certainly does furnish evidence of bull operations.

The attendance at the Exchange salesroom yester- day was very fair and the bidding was remarkably lively, hia, of course, was to be expected, as the chief attraction was a portion of the estate of the late Judge Bonney, Those who knew Judge Bonney’s care- fal, calculating disposition could fee! well satistied that any property in which he had invested and the litle to which he had retained would be something Worth having. He was not one of those who had grown almost imperceptibly from noth- ing, and whose name was handed about among the ‘bulls’ and ‘bears’ in the real estate “rings” a3 a “heavy fellow” fn the room. ‘I'he majority of those who attended the sale yesterday showed that they had learned to recognize and ap- preciate Judge Bonney’s judgment, and who evi- dently felt that what he had been induced to take an interest in would be something out of the common run, ‘The competition for proprietorship of, and the prices realized on, the lots plainly showed these lacts and made the sale as tuteresting a8 any that has lately taken place. ‘The lots placed in the market yesterday are lo- cated in the immediate neighborhood of Prospect Park, and are therefore exceedingly desirable for those who wish to settle in a handsome and healthy vicinity. ‘The particulars of the sale are as follows:— BY 2ONSS6¥ AND MILLER, ‘or Grand av and Baltic ¥5x 102.2, 28.12 ft in rear.

A large amount of property in Wautowan county, Minn., has been procured foraGerman colony. Two hundred families, soon to arrive from Norway, also contemplate locating in the same county, About 4,000 acres of laud were broken up in Blue Barth county, Minn., the past season, Next year not less than one-fourth as many more acres of land in Minnesota will be in cultivation than were culti- vated last year. A land purchasing company, with a capital of, $560,000, divided into shares of $20,000 each, has been or is being organized in St. Peter, *Minnesota, to buy up the balance of the Sioux reservation and the available lands in Redwood and Renvilie coun- ‘ues. While property in other portions of the country ts increasing in value, real estate in ogg seems 0 be. It jantation t 1s stated that a a which cost ten years ago was sold lately for $262. The Jumel estate, on the upper end of Mannattan Island, is again being drained by the lawyers. Eleven acres of land belonging to the State Reform School at Manchester, N, H., have been sold for $160 per acre, Ohio is to be taxed this year $20,849,148 on the total valuation of $1,143,461,336, The property at Bay Ridge lately disposed of by auction 1s just beyond the limits of Brooklyn, and the taxes there are said to be one-fourteenth of what they are inBrooklyn. The latter city is spread- ing, and ere long may ask the residents and property holders at Bay Ridge to share the blessings of Brooklyn taxation. The dikes at West Springfield, Mass., have been completed, and it is stated that they have been made 80 strong as to prevent the inundation of many acres of land in West Springfleld that are flooded in spring time. The well known Beaver property, in Warren and Washington streets, Newark, d., 40X160 feet in dimensions, has been sold for $12,500. The sale of the Ogden farm, near Newark, will be continued next week. A plot thirty by ninety feet, on the corner of Mar- ket and Lawrence streets, Newark, N. J., has been disposed of for $12,500, Previous to the late commotions in real estate in California a farm in Sonora county had suffered se- riously from drought. The owger, by digging a very deep well, obtaincd a supply Of water barely suti- cient for the uses of the family.

GASS MEETING OF THE NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN UN:VER- SALIST CHURCHES, A mass mecting of the New York and Brooklyn Universalist churches was held last evening in the church of Rev, Mr, Canileld, corner of South Third and Fourth streets, Williamsburg. The church was filled with the most influential members of the Uni- versalist denomination, ‘The exercises were opened by the singing of “Old Hundred,” aud that grand hymn was grandly ren- dered by the choir and congregation. Rev. Mr, Cantleid_ read a porcion of the Scriptures: and Kev. Mr, Blanchard offered prayer. Rey. Mr. CANFIELD Uien addressed words of welcome to those present, He said that the object of such mi was to arouse the spirit tha : mated th ureh in times gone by. ‘iis the second meeting of the kind, the first having be held in the Bieecker street church, New York. M Canfieid conoluded his remarks by introducing Brother Emerson, editor of the Ambassador, Mr. EMERSON expressed his dolight at finding before him representatives of all the churches. He said that at a similar meeting held tn Huntington a week ago a large number of persons not identified with the denomination took great interest in the proceedings, and he felt assared that mach good was accomplished, While he did not deny the ex- istence of truth in the Catholic, Calvanistic and Methodist Churches, he believed the Church togwhich he belonged approached nearer the Christian idea than either of them. Dr. Lex spoke at length on the delights of a good life. He hoped that the whole human family woud sun themselves in, the light of God's giory. Rev. Mr. PULLMAN felt that the ladics and gentle- men present wanted something more than would satisly een He thought that the truths of re- ligion were what were needed, and he took great pleasure in delivering to them his message. In speaking of Christ Mr. Pullman expressed lus belief ‘that He could not be legislated out of the universe. Rey. Mr. BLANCHARD spoke earnestly on the sub- ject of the best way of making a strong church. Some men go to church because their wives want them to go, or because it seis a good example to their children. Such men cannot strengthen the Church. To accomplish that purpose men must feel convinced that the Church is a divine institu- Uion, and that it is their duty to attend it. It is true that many churches have died under the influences of gorgeous music and eloquent sermons, but it is not true that asociety truly animated by the spirit of God ever becaine reactionary. He did not think that the spirit of worship was properly developed in the Universalist churches, and that the Episcopalians had a better system, The churches should cover amusement, education and reform. ‘The young people should be amused, and the church should amuse them and control and direct their de- sires, Every member of the church should conside himself as important in it asthe minister, and all should cheerfully work for its advancement. Mr. METCALF, of Boston, offered a few remarks, Re felt complimented on being the only layman in- troduced to the meeting. He did not believe, as did some of the clerical brethren, in invisible growth in the Church. On the contrary, he believed sincerely in visible growth and the power of members. He Was not satisfied with the present strength of the ©uurch, and it was his intention to do more in the future than he had done in the past to strengthen it. The exercises closed by the singing of the “Coro- nation” by the congregation. A KENTUCKY BREACH OF PROMISE CASE SETTLED FOR CASH. {From the Louisville Democrat, Dec. 15.) A breach of promise case which bid fair to furnish arare sensational dish for the columns of “enter- prising” newspapers was amicably adjusted on Saturday. One of our wealthiest and most luigniy respected citizens, far advanced beyond the hey- day of life, courted @ young and beautiful girt whose circurfstances are extremely maderate. He offered her his heart and hand in mar riage and the thoughtful young lady accepted. ‘The wedding ring was furnishhd, and ali the pre- liminary al uments for such occasions were pro- gressing finely, when the family, consisting of several grown children, of the old gentleman got wind of the affair. They at once resolved on squelch- ing the nupitals, and’ by their united efforts per- suaded thelt aged parent to desist in his rash pur- pose. The kind-hearted and amiable parent desisted, But the young iady whose heart had been pierced by Cupid’s arrow would not desist worth a ‘‘cuss.” She wasimportuned by friends, and every argument, as to the disparity be- tween their ages and the fickle disposition of old age, brought to bear, but the maiden still persisted, ‘hen all persuasive arguments had failed the offer of ready cash was made to heal her bleeding heart. With great reluctance she loaned an ear to the golden propositions, and finally knocked herself down at the last bid of $5,000. The money was paid to her last Saturday, and with an aching heart and a full pocket the injured young lady calmly submit- ted to her cruel fate, Tan Brrrisu Government Wins A LawsvurT AGAINST AN AMERICAN CoMPANY.—The Hartford Post says the case of the British government against the Sharps Rifle Company of that city, which has been before the courts for twelve years, has at last been decided by the pore Court in favor of the British government. In 1856 the British govern- ment bi Ree gent arms for the ee campaign Ww! e Sharps company. To se: cure the fulfilment of this contract, the British government took a mort; of certain lands near the Sharps factory. The government claims a non-fulfiiment of the contract and asks for a fore- closure of the mortgage, in order to sell the lands; and that is what they have at last got. The whole amount i controversy is about $100,000, and the lawyers concerned have had by far the best of the taing, The British government has kept a colonel of the army on full pay, $10,000 @ year in gold, in New York all the time, to manage the case, ostensi- bly, but ail he has had to do has been to pay the counsel of the crown their fifty dollars per diem In gold, when en 1 on the case, and to sign his name occasionally, while he has boarded at the first class hotels.
