In contrast to recent movements therein the gold market was steady, te extreme range of the price during the day being from 120 to 12093. The open- ing price was 120\4, from which point there was a di ue 12045 at the ume of the government sale. The bids at the Sub-Treasury were for a total of $5,200,000, at prices ranging from 120,16 to 119.01, those above 120 being sufficient to enable the awara to be made at an average of about 120,05, The large number of bids induced a stronger feeling tn te Gold Room and the price rose to 12034, but upon the weakening of exchange yielded to 120, which was the price at the close of the board. The decline i# aiso attributed to the announcement from Washing- ton that the Secretary of the Treasury will m future decline all bids which are more than a half per cent below the market price at the time the bids are sub- mitted. This was interpreted, by inversion, to mean that the Secretary will in, future accept all bids that are within a haif per cent of the market, which knocks away the last hope of the “bulla” that than their customers who advance margins purely for &@ Sspecuiative purpose. A broker nas no easy life of tt, and earns his money just as hard as many who labor more apparently, this decision ts to put hlin at the mercy of any de- faulter Who may choose to leave lim in the uch at # critical Moment, 1t is a noteworthy fact that the gains of the broker are small as compared witu bis “bad debts,’ and it 1s only the constant accumuia- tion of commissions that makes 18 avocation remu- | nerative. The following resume of decisions on this vexed question may not be uninteresting, It will be noticed how conilicting they have been:— In the case of Lrasd vs, Worth, Supreme Court, General Terin, at Brooklyn, In July, 1864, reported in lorty Barbour, the Court decided the stock was a pledge and the broker could not legally sell without giving customer notice of time and place Of sale. in the case of Willam B, Jaudon vs. lutler, Supreme Court, Circutt, in June, ised, Judge Grover, now of the Court of Appeais, decided that when the customer's margin Was exhausted the broker bad Whe right to sell without not The next case was that of George W. Markham vs. Williaa B. Jaudon, argued at supreme Court General Term im Ociober, 1867, Judges Leonard and Clerke decided tue broker owned the stock held by him on amargin for his custower, and had the right to sell without notice When that margin was exhausied, ‘This case ts the one In which the Court of Appeals has just reversed the decision of General ‘Term. She next case was that ol J ) Carpenter vs, William B. Jaudon, aigued im November, 157, ta which it was decided that the stock Was not a pledge, and the broker nad the right to sell wuen tae margin was exhausted. ‘Yhe next case was that of Joho M. Taylor vs. Morris Ketchum, argued in the Superior Court. Here tt Was decided that ihe Broker inust give notice of time and place of saic, apd that the stock was a pledge. Tue last case in the lower courts was that of Pey- ten Jaudon vs. Joseph Walton, argued November 18, 1868, before Judges Barnard, Ingraham and Car- dozo, in which they departed from the former deci- sion of the court in Markham vs. Jaudon, and ue- cided that notice must be given of time and place of sale, and Ghat the notice Must be @ persunal service, WERKLY STATEMENT OF THE PHILADELPHIA BANKS.

CHANGES IN -THE CANADIAN TAtire.—The Mon- treal Winess gives currency bo @ report that sweep- ing Changes tn tue tariff aro contemplated at Ottawa and will probably be proposed next session. it thinks that a scale of recriminatory duties on United States produce will be proposeu, with an export duty on pine timber, and 1¢ adds:—*We hope whus- key and all other liquors will be subjected to the same duties or sexcise a¥ they are in the Staves, and that a wore effective metiod of levying the ex- cise on distilled and fermented liquors may be adopted.” ‘The Witness seems to think the Ameri- can excise aaty on distilled iguors ts lugher than the Canadian, but this 1s not now the case. On wluskey the duty at one time was two dollars per gallon, but now it ts only titty cents. We know noting of the truth of the rumor the Witness tas put into cirenta- ton, but should judge from the sentence qu above that our contemporary is altogether astray.— toronto Leader, Dec THE WHALING FLEET. —The whalers on the nor east coast of North America report the ca this season to be 45,614 barrels of oll and 596,795 pounds of bone, Tie whalmg ieet cousisted of jorty-seven vessels, forty of whitch cruised in the Arcuc Ocean and six in the Sea of Ochotsk. One of the forty-seven vessels was lost. The average catch for each vessel was 91 barrels of oll, tneluding sperm, walrus and Arctic oll, and 13,900 pounds of bone, The wairus ivory captured amounied to 11,365 pounds, worth twenty cents a pound—a re- duction trom itt, nts in former years. During the busiest time of the fishery the weather was in- tensely cold, and as tue thermometer stood at ten degrees below zero the work was dangerous and Jaborious. The whaling fleet, tt is stated, will be increased next year by the addition of live more ships tre New England whaling ports.
