FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘Tuxspay, Dec. 29-6 P. Me ‘The close of the year is attended with unusual Stringentcy inthe Money market, more so than was even by the great majority of those who looked for activity with the general ciosing up in the part of business men and the pre- of the banks for the quarterly statement, ‘pe bauiks to-day were close almost to "and loaned with a stinted hand, The general desire ‘to appear as favorab'y as possible in the statement fiduces contraction, Whjgh is rendered extreme by the flow of greenbacks to {he h to pay for the cotton, which is coming to tite seaport cities in large quantities. The exchanges with the West Gre either money requisite m that direction having been trans- Mhitted. The relief from this quarter need Rot be counte! upon, mor can any hope ‘be derived from the remittances of country / ‘banks to this city to earn the prevailing high rates of interest, In fact, many of these latter institutions ‘®re taking up their balances to use fn making their quarterly statements, so that the loss this way fully offsets the receipts from \nose seeking better interest for the'r surplus funds. Yhe money crisis of No- vember jast Las already demonstrated the fact that ‘the needs of the metropolis are too great to be sup- plied from outside sources, ‘ne loose money of the country banks when united in one sum makes but a small item in comparison with the vast amounts which are employed inthe financtal circles of the metropolis. In the forenoon the market was, of course, without much gign. As noon, however, the pinch was severely felt, and considerable consterna- » tion was manifested, espe , ‘was reported to be embarrassed through losses arising from discounting Uie paper of the firm which Jately suspenced. It is only just to savy that this * report was al: exaggeration, the bank in ques+ tion haying proved its soundness atthe Clearing Honge. Poubt.ess it suffered losses, but not of anextevt to impair its solvency. Extreme rates Were paid on call loans. The greater number of transactions were at seven per cent in gold. Upon inditferent collaverals or to weak houses commis sions as high as a quarter of one per cent were added, As high a3 a half of one per cent per day 1n- ferest Was askelim some instances—which is equal to 180 per cent per annum. The pertod of stringency reached its climax about two o'clock. So many ‘were frigitened at the prospect of still higher rates that they largeiy supplied themselves. ‘the conse- quence was an easier feviitiy toward three o'clock, + ‘when balances were offering at seven per cent cur- rency rather than be carried over night without in- terest. There were rumors of a “locking up’? of @reenbacks b) the bears, but the comparative abundauce of funds at the close shows that these stories had their foundation in the stringency of the iiddie of the day, ‘The “bears” have not com- menced their attack as yet. ‘They are disposed, for thé present, to assist the “bulls” In inflating prices. ‘Their turn wili come by and by, when figures.are at such a height that it will be a meh more profitable ive to break the market, The fluctuations of to-day were the natural effects of tight money and the natural reactions of ascending prices. One fea- ture ef to-day 1s noteworthy—money was bid for and o#ered like stocks, After banking hours un- easiness was felt for to-morrow, pnd borrowers were around upon the street as lite ag five o'clock bidding forfuuds. As high as a quarter of one per cent per day interest—which is equivalent to about 90 per cent per annum—was bid for one sum after. that honr. Gold was without excitcment and the transactions fn it lumited and dull. Up to the adjournment of tue ‘board the market was an exact repetition of yester- / day. The price ductuated between 154%, the open- ing price, and 135, the highest price, Alter three o’clock the market was hacumered by the “bears,” and a liiuited ameunt was sold atli4s;. The clos- ing quoiation at five o'clock was 1949; 8 154%. The carrying rate followed the course of the money mar- * ket, the Ngures advancing to 14 percent, + and 3-16 in the period of greaiest stringency. The groes clearings were only $83,154,000, the gold balances $2,513,196 and the curiency balances $4,594,727. The steamer Westphalia took ont $28,000 in specie. ‘The government market felt the stringeney of money, prices at the noon beard belng 3; to 4: oF from the closing prices of the previous evening. Had the speculative investinent been larger the re- sult might have been a panic in this branch of Wall street business; but holders aro, in a great measure, urchasers for cash, desirous of earning the yold in- terest, and their possession was not easily weakened. ‘Tho market closed firm at the decline with the follow- ing quotations:—United States sixes, 1851, registered, 103% a 10034; dlo.. coupon, Lids @ 11434; 5-20's, regis- do., coupon, 1862, 11014 a 110%; do., 1964, 107% 910744; G0., 1965, 107% a 108; do., new, 1865, 110% a 11 o,, 1867, 110% a 11076; do., 1868, 11075 @ 1114¢; 10-40’, registered, 102}¢ @ 103; do., coupon, 1053¢ a 10534; currency bonds, 99 a 99%. ‘The same influence was severely felt in the market for the border State bonds. North Carolinas were particularly weak on account of the silence of the ‘State authoritics as to the payment of the interest. The near approach of January 1 without any an- nouncement on this subject creates a feeling of ap- prehension that the Slate is not ready to fultil its engagements. At the close the following quota- tions prevailed:—North Carolina sixes, ex coupon, 6244 @ 63; do., new, 00)4 a G1; Tennessee sixes, ex coupon, 69 & 70; do., new, 69 bid ; Virginia sixes, ex coupon, 55% a 0., new, 56 a 67; Louisiana sixes, old, 69270; do., leyee, 60 a 61; Missouri sixes, 90 a 92. Foreign exchange was barely steady at previously quoted rates. ‘The stock market presented the contradiction of great strength, despite the condition of the money market. The ‘bulls’? made « desperate fight all day, and prevented a panic which seemed inevitable about half-past one o’clock, when the pinch. was greatest. A good deal of stock was turned for cash, bat the sales were not numerous enough to break the macket. Prices yielded ander the great pressure, but recovered easily. Those who are “long of stocks just now are seemingly determined to pay all sorts of interest for carrying over the gap to the 2d of January, rather than let go their grasp. The bank statement will then have been rendered, and they caiculate upon a large advance in prices. The “bears” are remarkably quict, and seilers’ options are few and far between. It may be that they are convinced by tue “bull logic that the stringeney cannot last over this week, and are consequently afraid to make a venture in sucha brief periods At the beginning of business New York Central opened in the vicinity of 156% and rose to 15774 in the interval after the frst regular board. In the period of greatest stringency it de- clined to 155% a 156, and rose again with the re- moval of the pressure tu the afternoou. The moat active stock was Ohto and Mississipp1, which at one time sold at 34%, closing Mnatly at the quotation 54% a 94. Fort Wayne and Rock Island were very strong, the former advancing to 1134 a 1134; and the latter touching 118. The cliques are actively at ‘work despite all the untoward circumstances which beset their operations, and are defiantly throwing down the gauntlet of frequent bayers’ options.

The poker used was not the one which was used on Mra, Itil’s head, a ihe head experimented upou was not that of the deceased. Counsel for defence—We have anticipated the ob- jection by having evidence to show that the tron of the poker used by Dr. Gross is of the same Kind as, that of the poker found corner Vine and Tentir streets, We will also show that it was impossibie for the wound found on Mrs, Lill’s head to have been miflicted by that poker. Dr. Shapleigh said ft was possible, aud we think we gan by an expert show That it was impossible. Judge Brewster—We understand that the counsel wish to show that (he wound on Mrs. Hill's head conid not have been inficted with the poker given in evidence, and the result of certain experiments with another poker on a skull not that of Mrs. Hill, ‘The first is admissibie and the second is clearly ine admissible, The evidence desired to be elicited is very dangerous. 1 remember a case where it was contended that @ certain man’s skull could not have been crusied by a blow of the fst, and an expert testified to that belief and by experiments with another skull; yet when the dead person's skull was produced it Was foond so thin that even a child's hand could have fractured it with # slight blow, Judge Ladiow concurred with Judge Brewster in this opinion.
