FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Sarugpay, Jan. 2-6 P. M. ‘The figures of the weekly bank statement, show- ing a very fatvermg condition of affairs on the part ‘of the respective institutions comprising the associ- ated banks, took no one by surprise in Wall street. ‘The contraction of loans and the hoarding of specie and legal tenders were so visible that a favorable statement was g’nerally expected. There is an in- crese in specie and legal tenders of nearly $3,000,000. Loans were decreased over two millions and de- ‘posits increased nearly the same sum. The totals, as compared with those for the previous week, are a8 followa:— ‘the differences tu the several items are as fol- alows:— Decrease in loans.. Increase in specie . 795,257 Decrease 1 ci: culation. 7,60% Increase in deposits ... 1,986,693 Increase in legal tende! 190,261 The-comparison of liabilities with reserve 1s as follows:— ‘Total deposits and circulation +++ $24,870,054 Legal reserve required. o «+ 68,717,513 Reserve on baud. 69,632,543 Exceas........- seeees 15,915,030 This very favorable statement is doubtless due to ‘the double necessity which the banks were under of also presenting a quarterly statement for the inspec- tfon of the Comptroller of the Currency. The in- crease in the item of specie is attributed to the re- ceipt of gold interest on government bonds; but, as ‘the amount disbursed for this purpose was about $0,000,000, it is evident a large share of it yet re- ‘mains ip the hands of private holders. ‘The “let up” in the money market which was so confidently expected by operators in stocks did not come. At the outset of business, under a limited demund, the rate on call loans ranged from seven per cent currency on government collaterals, in ex- ‘ceptional instances, to seven per cent coin, and to the same rate with a commission of one-eighth of one per cent per day. A great deal of business was transacted at the legal rate, with the commission added. The market was without excitement, doubtless owing to the arrangement, whicn ‘everybody seems to have acceded to, of bidding for and offering money in one corner of ‘the Long Room. The selection of a central place where borrowers and lenders may meet seems acurious return to the primitive customs of Wall Strect; but history is said to repeat itself, and it appears to have done so in this instance. Both parties say it 1s @ great convenience, as it nearly does away with the disagreeable “shinning” which used to prevail. As the Long Room its a close cor- poration of the members of the two boards it re- ‘mains to be seen whether the practice will continue. This dulness did not outlast the day. About two o'clock those who had postponed making their pre- parations came into the market and were anxious Anquirers for funds with which to make their @ccounts good. The rate, under this de- mand, went up to % & % commiasion. The relaxation did not come because of ‘the large sums which the various trust and sav- ‘ings institutions are withdrawing in order to meet the January interest. Again, in addition to this in- ‘terest, many doubtless were taking up the principal for other investments. Money is, therefore, in a shifting condition. It is passing into many private ‘hands in small amounts, but wil find its way back again into baok within the week, after which inter- ‘val its course willbe in larger, more general and more visible currents. The flow of currency to the ‘West is of little or mo account. The exchanges will tarn this way with the cessation of packing operations and the making of ents for gouds original in the New York market. *emittances to the South cannot well be ex- ected to fal we, as the statement of cotton receipts for the expired portiva af the cotton year shows an Ancrease of 120,000 bales as compared with the same period in 1867-3. The increase must be patd for. at present, by New York. If the fact produce con- tinued activity in money it will be regretted only by the stock gambiers, The demand for currency in the South is one of the healthiest signs of the hour. ‘Its satisfaction will do more for reconstruction than all the bills on tie subject now before Congress, * The first business day in the new year was marked by a rather sharp advance in the premium on gold, the price rising from 134% to 135)¢ during the ses- sion of the board, It is only proper to say that this appreciation was not the result of any new distrust 4m greenbecks, but was purely the sequence of gold “operating.” When gold was going down last week it was freely sold by the “bears,” while a number of stock houses borrowed the metal on collateral and cashed it for greenbacks, the object being to get cur- rency in the tightness of money. The “shorts” had to cover ani the borrowers had to buy back in order to return the loans of metal made them. The necds of both were taken advantage of by the holders of gold, and the premium took @n upward turn, advancing to 135), at a few minutes after two o'clock, but receding to 185}, before the @iose of street dealings. The range in price is shown as follows The rates paid for carrying were 1-16, 3-32, 5-64 and 6-04 in the forenoon, 3-64, 1-32 and 1-16 in the after. moon, and 5-64 and 7-64 to Monday. The gross ciear- dngs were $72,504,000, the gold balances $2,875,926 and the currency balances $4,347,659. ‘Out $100,000 in specie. The government bond market was dull and a Portion of the time drooping under the neglect of investors, whose attention was directed to other matters. In the afternoon the reinvestment demand on the part of those baving cash for coupons and a demand from new investors made the market more active for some of the list. The funds which are exchanged for these securities at this season of the year are not extensively released as yet to the pub- lic. The closing street quotations at half-past five o'clock were as follows, prices being ex coupon for those payable January and July:—United States Sixes, 1881, registered, 10944 a 10934; do. do., coupon, 111% @ 111g; 5-20's, registered, 106 a 106%; do, cou- pon, 1362, 111% @ 11134; do. do., 1804, 107% a 108; do. 40., 1865, 108% a 108%; do. do., new, 1865, 107 OTM 5 dO. do., 1867, 10734 @ 107%; do. do., 1868, @ 107%; do., 10-40'a, registered, 102% a 108; The steamer took we followmg were the quotations for the border Sisic bonds ;—Tennessee 6's, ex coupon, 61 bid; ‘Ti nnossec 6s, new, 06a 67 ; Virginia 6's, ex pon, 69 a 55; Virginia 6’, new, 56)5 a 57%; Georgia 6's, 78 a 70; Georgia 7's, 90a 91; North Carolina 6's, 620 65; North Carolina 6, new, 604 a 61; Missouri 6's, ex, 9 a 00; Lovistana, old, ex interest, 67 a 6. ‘The stock market was generally duil, as might be after a holiday and before Sunday. Those ho had stocks were tenacious of their possession end purchasers were few. During the forenoon and up to one o'clock an easier state of money was $0 freely discounted that New York Central sold up to $00 \., Pacific Mail to 12044, and Rock Isand, which was the feature of the day, touched 121);. How mony of these sales were bogus it is diMecait to con- fecthre; but that the cliques are growing desperate tacce can be no doubt. Rock Island ts manipa- ol by @ clique Who comprise among their members the original Erle clique. The Cen- tral party)= are tread of holding and ould Like to get rid of thelr load. The fee clique are utterly demoralized. The recent Western investments have only planged them Aeeper in the mire, They loudly heraided their achievements of a grand broad gauge throngh line to Uhicago and St. Loui, but the “outside pabiic” foiled to aeo the superiority of the proposed new routes, And Erie is down again between 37 and 58. Curiously enough, the defeat of the democracy is connected with their misfortunes. Under the orl- winal programme, which doubted not for an instant the re-election Of @ democratic Assembly, two high priests of the party wore taken into the Erie “ring” for the purpose of run ning tho Logisiataro in the interest of the road, Misfortunes nover “come singly. Falling in their plans here they Were overwhelmed with a food of tl iuck and are now driven to desperation. ‘The cancellation of some of the overissuce of Erie ve need not surprise the street, while a further dividend of twenty per cent in New York Central may be “declared” at any hour near midnight. The market ‘Was most buoyant from noon to half-past one o'clock, The unexpected continuance of stringent money weakened prices later in tho day, but the market ‘was steady and firm as the opening figures.

BROOKLYN, Dec, 31, 1868, To THE Epiror or THE HERALD:— Dear Sir—We have read in this morning's edition of the Hxraip your article entitled “Our Grain In- terest.” We were much interested in your compre- hensive statemenis and general correctness of the same in regard to the great interests that you so fully allude to. We were at the same time much surprised at the very great error that you had fallen into in regard to flour mills and the milling interest of our Eastern cities, particularly of New York and environs, stating that “formerly a single mill would easily turn out from 800 to 1,000 barrels per day, the same establishment now manufacturing but between 400 and 600 barrels;" also predicting that “the West- ern interest would eventually swallow up completely that of the Eastern, being only a question of time,” &c, As we are quite sure that your intention ts to state facts in regard to all questions of such large local importance as is the milling interest in New York and adjacent cities, we cannot quictly lay aside your paper after reading the above mentioned arii- cle without giving you a few facts, which we hope will convince you that your statement in regard to mills and milling interest in Eastern cities ts diamet- rivally opposite the reality. It 1s true with milling, as in all other branches of business, that occasionall Feo inexperienced embark largely into it, butid- ing large mils, and from the want of a proper know- lecige of the business, and not from the want of bust- ness, gradually find their business reducing and finally make a failure of it, while practical men who have taken up the business for the past fifteen or twenty years have, without exception, succeeded almost beyond expectation. Our own experience will, in & measure, verify this statement, We bullt in Williamsburg, sixteen years ago, the Williamsburg City Mills, Starting with a capacity of 160 barrels per day we soon found that our business required more facilities, and we increased its ca pacity to 200 barrels per day. This soon was too small, and we purchased two ears later the Brooklyn City Mill, at the foot of Fulton street, Brooklyn, and rebuilt the same, giving it a capacity of 900 barrels a day. Soon find- ing that inadequate for the amount of business that we could do, we commenced and built the Atian- tic Flour Mills, at Hamilton avenue, Brooklyn, with an easy capacity of 1,000 barrels per aay, frequently turning out much more than that amount. The above mills are all m constant operation to their fullest capacity, ard at all seasons of the year, being able to successfully compete with flour manufac- tured at the West and sent to New York to be sold. ‘These facts we are sure of, and we believe our ex- perience to be the same as all other really ee men who have engaged in the business, We could give many facts connected with the advantages that our city mills possess that would clearly prove that, while you intended to be correct in your statement, you have been misled. Knowing that you are always quick and ready to ‘set aright questions of such importance as the above we take the liberty to address you somewhat fully upon the subject, hoping that you will at an early date through your valuable paper do so, after fully satisfying yourself from other sources of the cor- reccness of our statement. F, E. SMITH & CO. Bop Rorsery BY A HACKMAN.—Thu Witham Irish, a yor man, came to Hartford from Holyoke, Mass., to attend the ball of the Young Men's Social Glab in American Hall, Duru evening, as he was stop} by John n, a hackman, who deman one dollar of him in aie of fare. He had never employed Golden, and didn’t know him, but rather than have a controversy in the presence of the girl he the money over. Golden, evidently satt that he had @ subject to work upon, subsequent! went to the hall, and when Irish came ont seiz hold of him and led him to Murphy’s driaking saloon, on Market street, where he secured him ina back room and robbed him of all his money and clothing, leaving nothing upon his person bat pants, shirt and boots. Thus stripped the innocent youth, after sometaing of a struggle, escaped and ran up State street, where he was discavered by officer Wright, who took the case in hand, and soon after arrested Golden and lodged bim in the station house, Hie was too mach under the influence of liquor to be taken besore the police court i coor and will be brougtit up to-day.—Haryord Courant, Jan, 2. evening Raw War or GrvtNe PaRtias.—The Lowell Courier says that a new plan of giving large parties, without trouble to housekeepers and damage to fnrniture, carpets, ac., is coming mto vogue in thatecliy, It is to take a hall where there ts ample room for dancing, laying out refreshments and furnishing the Booed sories of a regular party, and Inviting friewus there.

The HERALD has repeatedly of late called atten- tion to the unerring indications of advancing trade. In speaking of the growth of New York, of the efforts to remove the obstructions whicp still exist at Hell Gate, it was intended to imp! the public mind with tne certainty that New York, as a central point of the world’s trade, is still in its in- fancy. The natural fosition ot our city invited these observations. It will not be very long be- fore even in geographies and among the most fossil of geographical teachers the nomenclature of eonti- nents will bo changed, France and England are now called the “Western Powers,” and from these the whole continent of Europe will take its name as Western, Asia will be the Eastern continent of the globe, and America, instead of being the “West,” as our land was heretofore designated, will be the cen- tral continent of the world and New York its central city. It was also mentioned that while enterprising citizens do already comprehend and appreciate this inevitable future for our country and city, those in authority, the representatives of the government, appear to be tardy and slow. It is not intended now to recapitulate what has been sald before upon this subject, but a short reference to what private citi- zens are doing in this respect will be both interest- iug and profitable. r Not long ago a number of gentlemen, most of whom reside at Williamsburg, or, a it is officially known, the Eastern District of Brooklyn, associated themselves and formed the “Eureka Basin, Dock and Warehouse Company.” The organization was per- fected under the general laws of the State, with an original capital to start with of $200,000, of which sum it is stated $100,000 has already been paid up in ful. The object of this company 1s to provide for New York @ basin and docks on the same model as London and Liverpool have them, with com- modious warehouses gttached, and where the whole trade of our country may concentrate. The loca- tion they have selected is a good one. It com- mences at the mouth of Bushwick creek, where already vessels of from eight to ten feet draught may anchor, The basin, which it is proposed to atlanta be about four times ae, irae as tl tepesaite ern Brooklyn), and its limits will be SvOut as oliorres Running up with @ line North Thirteenth street to Fi street, it will take in about 2,000 feet poe te ae bee perenue, seat run to about midway between and Ewen streets, thence in an irregular line to a Lorimer street and Guernsey street to the north shore of Bushwick creek. Any one acquainted with the locality and any person who may take a map of Broo! to aid him can at once from this description inform himself of the great extent of this projected basin, as well as of the im- bled of the work for the commerce of New ‘ork. It will include the whole of what was known as Taylor’s Island and all the ground drained by the old creek, away up to the edge of the uplands in an easterly direction. A portion of the pro re- quired for this work has already bought and a large part of it was lately contracted for, so that the rapid execution of the whole improvement ts no longer a myth, but within close range of practical fulfilment. The last Legislature of the State recognized the legal exist- ence of this company and without fee transferred to them all the ad and privileges of the Stave in the Bushwick creek and contiguous territory; and if it be taken into consideration that in this very neigh- borhood there are parcels of ground es¢heated to the State for want of rightful claimants, this grant may eventually become of great importance, The surveys for this important work have all been made and compieted under the superin- tendence of General Meserole. Maps of the whole ground have been made, plans the amount of excavation calculated and the total of the whole cost summed up. docks will be of stone ; @ depth of water suMicient to foat the largest vessels e1 in commerce will be se- cured ; warehouses of substantial masonry, with iron fronts, have been projected and desigued, and the Whole expenditure limited at ten millions of dollars. With the money now on hand work will be com- menced early in the spring, and it ia the opinion of the ieaders of this association, Mr. George sparrow being its president, tat as the work progresses to- ward completion the necessary funds will be forth- coming by additional subscriptions, This imporiant improvement, in the shape of a much needed addition to the facilities of the barbor of New York, does again urge upon those in au- thority to proceed without delay with the removal of the obstructions tiat still impede water travel through the Hell Gate channel, Were those obstruc- tions completely removed aud the Sound made, what it suouid be, the best approach to the port of New York from Europe, not only would the soutuern end of tue city be relieved from the pressure that now almost overwhelms it, but both sides of the East river, the shores of this city ag well as of Long Island, would cease to become the refage for health. olfending estabisbments, suc as bone, lime our fat boiling, and could conceutrate the Wade of Europe within their bounds, A en REE ERE RET MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
