Heretofore Chicago has been the largest jer, but Cincinnatl now appears in the'lis:, the le of exchange having turned in favor of New ‘ork as against the central region of the Ohio, of Cinclunati is the metropoiis, While the drain \¢o the South 1s on a much diminished scale, the mer- eae nd business men generally have made few its, and are, therefore, not asking for ds. The only demand of any importance is from stock houses, who are “carrying” extensively their customers.

The opening price jas 13634, whence there was @ relapse to 136%. m this point the figure went up to 13634. Various ns are assigaed for its firmness, prominent ong them the more critical aspect of the question fore the Paris Conference. There is also sald to be gold clique with “bull” proclivities. The firmness of exchange and General Butler's bill were also cited p* causes of the firmer tone of themarket, Later inthe @ay the market weukened upon the announcement t government bonis had been shipped to Europe— step conducing to lower exchange and, conse- juently, the premium on gold. At the adjournmént ‘of the board the price had reccded to 136%, and at if-past four o’clock had declined to 136%. The clearings for the day were $54,319,000, the gold $2,003,187, and the currency balances 747,678, The carrying rate ranged from 1-32 to Percent, The chief fuctuations in price were as - 1364 3P.M.. + 186% 4:30 P. M. + The transactions in Southern State bonds were @gain s prominent teature of the day’s business. It ‘Will be remembered how, @ few months ago, these pecurities were frequently passed over without a re- Bponse to the call at the boards, Nowa- Mays the list is filled, as will be seen by ‘he quotations annexed. The demand to-day came from persoas who are not generally seen in Wall street, and the fact points to the popular belief that the Soutiera States, with their productive territory, are entering upon a period of revived prosperity, The Louisiana bonds, it will likewise be remembered, were but recoutly placed on the list at the boards; but they have outstripped their neighbors in the prominence which they have as- ®umed in the present speculation. The, Tennessee Donds were firmer on account of a telegram from Nashville stating that a resolution to withhold a@ny more Stave all from railroads wich were Dehindhand in paying their interest “passed the House by fourteen majority.” Prices closed as fol- Jows:—Tennessee, 6x coupon, 69% a 70; do., new, 695, 200%; Virginia, ex coupon, 674, bid; do., new, 603; a 61; Georgia sixes, 804 a 81; do. sevens, 91% a 9: North Varolina, ex coupon, 65% @ 6534; do., new, 62% ® 63; South Carolina sixes, old, 70 a 71; do., new, 67a 63; Louisiana sixes, old, 7234 a 73; do., levee, 6734; fo. eights, levee, 7914 2 80; Alabama eights, 833, @ 89; ‘Wo. fives, 63.0 64; City of Memphis, 49% 9 5034; M. rig Sterlings, 60461; do., interest, 44 45, +} Governments were steady for the general list, with strong market. The ‘bears’ have been worsted their attack, after assailing the market with all Borts of stories concerning the issue of new bonds. ‘The last of these atte.opts was made to-night by an ‘evening journal, which says that “the government gents in this city, it is believed in the markets, we'been making very heavy sales of government bonds, aud prices are depressed in consequence, Rumor is busy with the subject, and says, now, that these agents are speculating for their own account ‘upon informauon obtained from the government, and that the sales consist of new issues of bonds, the Treasury having secretly increased the Gebt paying gold interest to a large amount and having secretly given the exclusive benefit of know- ing that fact and sveculating on it to its favorite gents. The officers and agents of the Trea- gury deny all knowledge of such new issues of Donds, but suspicion is not quieted by this denial, ‘and rumor asserts that tue negotiations have been Conducted in Washiagton instead of New York, in order to preserve the secrecy which is so valuable.” ‘The object of this attack was so apparent that the Paragraph did not create even a ripple of excite- ment. Questionable as may be the past conduct of ‘the Treasury oilicials in aiding the speculators fn Wall street there is nothing at pres- e@nt to warrant the charge above made. The closing prices on the street at half-past four o'clock were as follows:—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 111 9 11144; do. do., coupon, 112% 8 112%; do, five-twenties, registered, 108% a 1085; do., coupon, 1862, 112% @ 112%; do. do., 1864, 10934 a 109; do, do., 1865, 100% & 109%; do. do., new, 1865, 1081 @ 10514; do. do., 1867, 1033¢ a 108%; do. do., 1863, 108% 109; do. ten-forties, registered, 104% @ 105; do. flo., coupon, 107% @ 108, Currency bonds, 101\ @ Wo1s. ) There was a larger volume of business in the stock ‘Market, owing to heavy realizations upon the firm prices at the opening of business. These sales were jade principally at the first open and first regular Doards, prices declining under their effect, but not to a large degree, The abundance of money gives a rong impetus to speculation, and where one “pull” becomes tired of “carrying” another $s ready to take his burden. An examination of rices for the p st week or ten days will show the steady appreciation of prices produced by the ease in money and the prevailing disposition to in- vest. Each of the railway list, it will be observed in particular, has been visited, a “movement” in- @ugurated and the price putup. The “bears are Sfraid to begin an attack, leat It might prove a disas- ‘trous failure. Tne tendency of the money market to still greater ease gives tne “bulls” a constant Source of suength until the condition of the market changes. The “bears” are therefore indisposed to “sell short’? while this state of affairs Jasts, or wntil the inflation has been continued to puch an extent that an attack wilt be aided by the natural reaction from too high prices, The Marketrecovered tn the afternoon from these realiza- tions, and prices went back to former figures, St. jul selling up to 76%, St. Paul preferred over 95, i Fort Wayne to 12%. The Northwestern stocks, which had been neglected in the visit to the general Vist, were called upon to-day. The common stock ‘went up to 84 and the preferred to 894%.

Mil- sted and Hagert, two officers of the Satsumana—for- merly the Cuyahoga—which left Kobe for the west coast in August last, Their veseel being beached during a gale, they proceeded overland to Kobe, hav- ing left Tsuruga on November 10 in norimons— basket sedan chairs—accompanied by a single yaco- nin, and arrived at Kobe on the 16th. This is the first instance in which private citizens have en- joyed this privilege. They met with no impediments of any Kind during their journey, the people, on the contrary, being extremeiy «ind and desirous to make them comfortable wherever they passed, either on the: Tokaido or vy private roads, which is the strongest proof that the native population are not antagonistic to foreigners, but rather pleased to see and communicate with them. First day—Ascended the mountain range that lies on the Western coast and stopped at Yanaginose (Willow rapids), thirteen miles from Tsurasa. It is a large town and celebrated for its basket and wil- low work, Passed the night in the best hotel in the place, which ia generally reserved for officers of the ighest rank when travelling. If a daimio had passed that way we should have had to vacate, but for no one elas, as the ofticer who accompanied us was one of high rank. Second day—Started at 6:90 A.M. About two P, M. came in sight of Lake Biwa and followed the Kastero shore of it to the Southern end. It was bowing and raining hard, so hal to shut our norimons, and thus lost the view of the neigh- borhood; but there appeared nothing rtreular to note. Stopped at4 P. M. for the might at Yoni- waru, having travelled twenty-three miles daring the di To console us for the loss of scenery we were entertained during the evening wit" music, singing and dancing by female performers, and which we found to be very superior to what we had witnessed tn ports open to Et 5 Third day—Startod at 6 A.M, stopped. at Ichl- gawa, where we partook of refreshments, aiter which resumed journey and travelled till 5:30 P. M., stopping for the night at Moroyama. having travel- Jed twenty-seven tiles during the day, the ter part of the distance being through groves of payer ef trees. Fourth day—Started at 6 A. M., took midday meal at Oatsu. and then proceeded to Fushimi. Alter supper, about ten o'clock, our norimons were carried on ooard # boat, and we astarted almost immediately, being carried by the current at the rate of five or six miies per hour. Not wishing to arrive at Osaka before daylight w had to make fast to a bank, and stopped there till6 A. M. on the following day, when we started again, arriving in Osaka at 7:30 A. M. on the fifth day. The wind being contrary we were unable to take pa in @ boat for Hiogo, and had to perform the rematnder of the distance tn our norimons, Stopped at Nishinomia for the night. Sixth day—Startod at 5 A. M. and arrived at Hiogo at 10 A. M., where we took leave of our nori- mons, and were indeed glad to straighten out once more, Every part of the country we passed through wag woll irrigated and splendidly vouluvated, Vines, ‘&c., Were crown quite high up the various hills; saw great fields of cotton, the bolls of which were just openit and tae plants ap- peared strong and healthy, We yoy many towns, some of cousiderable size, but it was impossible to estimate the number of inhabitants, for being shat up in our baskets our view was restricted almost entirely to the streets we passed through. ‘We were treated with extreme kindness through- out, every respect was shown to us, and everything in the power of the people to do was done to make us comfortable. Our food during the Aourney and during our stay in the iborhood of Ne-egata con- sisted of deer, fish, fowl eggs, ac. all of which were prepared for us in the Japanese manner, and we found them very and palatable. During our say at the west coast, the battle at Ne-oyata took place, and during the fight two men- of-war and six trausports, the latter crowded with troops, arrived. Tuey at once landed and }.roceeded to take measures to surround Aidzou. ie Setzu- mara was during the time, but we were lJanded and left on shore at Kashiwasakt, forty miles to the southward, the Mia having ordered that no Mreignors should take any ‘ton his side. We were well treated here, and during our stay the chief surgeon of the Mia paid us a visit, which we returned, and we were recotved with extreme Jap- anese politeness; he had provided chairs, with crim- son coverings, for us wo sit upon, and they pre- pared coifee, which they would not drink them selves, Our stay at the west coast being unex- pected, we had not tasted coffee for some tine, and as our cook was fortunately with us, we had some properly prepared, which proved quite a treat. ‘On the 6th inst, the Mikado’s birthday was quite a gaia day in Kobe. The various ships tn the harbor were gayly dressed, and at daybreak, noon and set salnies were fired from Japenese men-of-ww noon the United States steamship Monocacy fired a salute. ‘The temple by the Osaka road was tastefully decor- ated, and priests in their showy robes were futtering about like butterfiles, They were evident!; reaping @ good harvest, and many, no doubt, wishe that tne Mikado had many birthdays.

Dr. Anderdon, ef Oxford, at Cooper Institute. ‘The large hail of Cooper Institute was well filed last evening to hear a lecture by the Rev. Dr. Ander- don, of Oxford, in aid of the Wiseman Memorial church, being erected in London. ‘The lecturer, @ thin, spare man, with an agreeably ruddy countenance, was warmly greeted as he made his appearance. He spoke with exceeding fluency, and notwithstanding the nature of his subject being rather the reverse of humorous, managed to infuse ® good deal of humor into it. In announcing his subject as “‘Ritualism” he said that the principle of ritualism was one which commended Itself to the ‘approval of every rational mind. Ritualism was but the external expression of their interior views of the incarnate God. In the old Hebrew times ritualism was ordered, and it had been-enjoined in all time since, It was foreign to this subject to speak of the ancient ritua'ism prevailing among the Jews, or in the more modern Catholic Church, or other special communions. He disclaimed any intention to qnestion the consclentiousness of the observers of ritualism, The question was whether it was a legiti- mate growth of the Catholic faith, He would first ask what were the faiths of those opposing ritual- ism, . Practices external, ceremonial, are tirst of all brought into actual use in the hope to bring out the interior expression of faith. What are the state- ments on ether side put forth as dogmatic by Catholics and the Episcopal Church? What isthe highest eociesiastical appeal? In the Episcopal com- munion, as it cated itself in Enziand, as in this country, the general government ites with the bishop. * The Court of Arches, or of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in England, is. not, however, the high- est eco esiastical court, but the Court of Cresar, as it is designa‘ed. He ret to a recent casein Eng- Jand as illustrative of this point. He would follow the definition given of ritualism in the London Times, gestures meaning genuflections. ornaments meaning lighted candles and ceremonies meaning among other things using of incense, mixing a few drops of water in the wine used in the Holy Com- munion. Many got very much at sea in bts oe | to draw the distinction between what was essential a8 the outer expression of faith and what was not, He related an instance of his getting once in London into the wrong church, or the wrong box, and how from the ritualistic ceremonies in pi 8 he supposed he was ina Catholic church, He proceeded to put on his sac- risty and asked an officiating clergyman, whom he took for a priest, when mass wonid begin, and re- ceived the very uncatholic response, “As soon as the priest leaves the altar.” He now proceeded to ol the subject of dogmas. The ceremonial of Holy Mass in the Council of Trent was Gefined & real and true sacrifice—a sacrifice of thanksgiving— an expression of highest faith in God. In the Thirty- vine Articles of the Episcopal Church, which arti- clea they had been in the habit of taking as the forty stripes save one under which they were now writhing—a definition precisely antagonistio to this. He referred to Henry VIL. of England, who died a Catholic, but not a very devout one, as he denied the supremacy of the Pope—the play of ‘Hamiet” with Hamiet left out. (Laughter.) He aext referred to Edward VI. and then to Queen Elizabeth, and in this connection read several extracts from Dodd, the historian, defining the charch memorials pre- valling in those days. in some the services were in Latin and in others haif in Englisl and half in Latin, Extracts from another old writer, Dr. » Of Oxford, were aiso read bearing upon the same point. Quotations were also citea from Bishop Ridley. A few of these ex- tracts, in the singularity of the facts stated, elicited frequent outbursts of applause, as likewise the com- ments of the lecturer. Following the reading of these extracts he urged that any commanion had a right to be heard in defence of its own character. He would speak of the Quakers, for instance; and he had no hesitancy in speaking of this class from fear of offending them, because he was a descendant from Quakers, and one of his fore- fathers died in jail, for conscience sake, becanse he would not give up his broad-brimmed hat—adhered still with tenacity to their peculiar views. It was so with the Catholics, They clung with tenacity to the fait of their fathers. He now reviewed the oppos- tng formulas of the Catholic and Episcopal Churches. He also showed that there were many who claimed to be Catholics who had no right to tnclude eee in this communion. He next service of the Episcopal Charch.
