FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Wepnxspay, Dec. 15—6 P, M, There were no new developments to-day in the Dounty loan frauds, fhe Stock Exchange has de- -ided not io offer any reward for the alleged perpe- trators, inasmuctl as the losers have already taken steps to aifurd the detectives a remunerative iucen- tive. A very proper suggestion, however, was made to the business community in te following commu- nication submitted this morning at the session of the board:— » New Yor« Srocs Excaaner, New Yors, Dec. 1469, } In pehalf of the New York Stock Exchaage J would request those having knowledge of any clrcum- stances caiculated to excite suspicion that a fraud 18 about to be perpetraied by the utiering or circula- ting Of stolen, altered or forged securiiies or oiber- Wise, to Couimunicate to mie, or in Wy absence to the presiding office: of the Exchange, in order that the community may be warned by an announcement from the roatrum oi the exchange, as weil as by the telegraph, whicif is operated tn the Exchange bulld- ing. An aanouncement waue at the Exchange and despatched over ‘he wires woula 1n a few minutes be received im the odicea of every firm, bank or other institution lu the counéry, loaning oa or deail- 1g in stocks or vouds. WM. H. NEISON, President, The money market was sgain very active and dorrowera did a guod deal of running” for funds, The rates were uot below seven per cent coin, except “$na few instances to the government houses, and ranged as bigh as seven per cent plus an eighth per sent commission. Towards three o'clock there was some relaxation and lenders were offering money at coin interest, but there was spasmodic stringency vafter Uiree o'clock and a revurn to ay high asa ™xteenth per ceut for the use of money the over night, The feeling was quile unsettled and the Tallure of one large firm, tho syspension of a stock broker and reports of failures in the ary goods trade added to the distrust. Jt Was evident taat artiictal and temporary causes, such as referred to yesterday, ia connection with the operations of tue siock cliques and the simul taneous withdrawal oi funds to eet payments on certain issues of the city bonds, were the real secret of the stringency. The movetients of currency, so far as the domestic exchanges are concerned, are not opposed toeasy money, while the ‘Treasury opera tions for the week are nigily averable to an abun. dance, inasmuch as the purchases of bonds are three millions while the sale of gold 18 only haifa million ‘the money week ecuding on Friday, so Uiat the sale of gold on that day will not aifect this week's bank statement, Foreign exchange was active undera more limited supply of billa, while the decline Mn gold prompted free buying on the part of the importers, The bond bills recently on the market have been absorved. The streagth of do Taeetic quotations for governnients makes ship- Menta only moderate, while tue exports of pro- duce aré also checsed by the heaviness and decline tn gold, Commerctal paper was without esgenttal change, although it was apprehended the market ‘would Dave beea unlavoradly in ed by the re- ported suspension of the old, weil known aua very extensive hardware Lupovitng firm of Messrs. Rovert Patrick & Co., whose embarrassinent, like that of 60 many houses who lave succumbed this fall 18 atiriouled = to gi0sses arising out of the decline im gold. The winter go far has been fruiful of disasters to the Amporting interest. The government market Was steady, if not strong, aud was bne stightiy sen- @itive to the depressing mMuences of the aouvity in money aud tho deciine in gold, the Nirmness of prices abroad maimtaming quo- tations here.

I¢ should be remenivered that the great success of the cliqaes Mes not in one sieady, deliberate and persistent effort, but in @ series of fluctuations, which afford the opportunity for profitable intermediate turns. Were lie movement ever steady i would close out Le short interest and drive oif the bears, on whose opposition depends so much of the strength of a bul’ campaign. A slow appreciation, inter- spersed with frequent “preaks,’’ keeps the short interest aiso fresh while doubling the proits of the bulls. Thus if it is the intention to put Northwest from 701090 the net profit would be only 20 per cent by @ ateady operation, whereas oy the systera of putting the Market up and taea dropping it again, and repeating the process, the 20 per cent be- comes 40, 60 or even 60 per cent, The outsider who goes in at 70 and realizes at 90 thus makes ouly ® haif or a third of what te cliques make, if, indeed, some shrewd “milking” operation has not frighteged him out at @ much sailor profit. The money*market in the bands of the cliques who have taken advantage of the accident of outside causes has been skiifully used the past.fow days for one of these imtermediate turns, The whole list was, with few exceptions, weak and heavy. Lake Shore, Wich, now that Northwest has been squeezed dry, 13 next on we programme, was strongsunder reports that the stockho'ders will defeat consolida- tioa with tho Wabash road. sf.

To THe Epiron or THE HERAL It is safe to presume that a great many Mormon Saints wish to get rid of thetr wives and domestic responsibiiities. Mr. Cragin’s bill suppressing polygamy would de, 10 several respects, the very thing they desire—a cheap and sweeping decree of divorce Without enforcing upon them the duty of supporting their ex-wives and olilldven. Ihave pot seen In full the, terms of sald » but at least in the published résumés of it L find nothing intended for the protection of those crea- tures wno have most need of it—those thousands of unfortunate women ¥ Would be scattered over the land without any earthly prospect of comfost aud assistance, and effectively prevented from taking care of their children. Directiy or tmdirectly the law would take an immense burden from the shoulders of their seducers and lay it on their own, Congress ought to provide, above ali, how to pro- tect those women and children, While patting asiop to Mormonism, aud to tiat effect thé best m wy opinion Would be pracucally to accept tings as Chey are, forbidding new feinale additions to tue Mormon home; to consider every Saint ag legally married to ench one Of his wives; (0 enforce stricciy upon him the care and ragiwvenance of all Ris women family, and oulside the present status not w mlow a single new Case of polygamy. ‘This they cou not cppoxs, and it would be pre- ctaely the Joke they deserve, Let us force each one of the patrlarchy to be scolded and bored aud pes- tered by ail and each one of their twenty or ifty wives to the end of bis days, This 19 their farth; let wae enjoy ft.

Tho Most Important Questfo Country. TO Tae Eprror or rire Heratp:— We propgse to consider the arguments fm favor of mainxaining our national currency and of making 1s Tor ali Mme the only “paper money” of she nation. We have ulveady shown tuat there are no better rea- sons tn favor of Making the national bank currency the only paper money than the clreamstance of ita accidental origin, oud the prescription of ume, which may be ploadeyi in favor of most of ihe “time honored” vices and abuses of society, The accident of our civil war las, however, given usa circulating niedium which, We propose to demonstrate, meets all the essential objects, uses and advantages of & paper currency, while it 1s free from all the evils which have been found to attend that of bank notes. We start with the first and universally recognized principle, that the daty of coining money and of reguiating the v: thereot 1s properly and mgntly lodged in the sovereiga power of the State. ‘This is @ proposition that no one is likely to aispute., It 1s one of the highest and most important finetions of government, which it would be dangerous to entrust to any indlyidual or corporation who might desire possess the privilege, Now the same reasons which to support the theory and practice - of placing the power solely in the executive of the State apply with equal force to the principles invetved tn the issue and management of paper money convertible into gold, Although our paper 1s at present irredeemabie at par on demand, by reason of tts saperabundance, there are butiew men of influence 1a the country who donot take the groand that we mm 1a ono Bofore tho way or anotner, gét back to a asls, or to @ resumption of specie payments, We, therefore, treat tie enbdject In reference to such a condition of things, and take the ground that the issuing Of that descriptioa of curreacy, which we have designated in former articies as ‘paper money,” of right belongs to the sovereign power of the nation or State, Mouvy, of wiatever Kind, ¢on- cerns the whole people, sad the experience of two centuries hus shown that its issue in aby form can- not be enUUSiod With Advantage to private corpora. tons or individuals.
