REAL ESTATE MATTERS, A Few Remarks About the Market—Present and Prospective Conditions—Bull and Bear Views. ‘The spasmodic activity which the real estate mar- ket showed recently appears to have died out, aud matters have settled again into a duiness approach- ing stagnation. The feeling in the market, how- ever, 18 one of confidence, notwithstanding the efforts made in certain directions in the interest of a bear element to provoke a panicky state. The pre- cise status of the real estate market ts, bowever, a propiem, and one which 18 calculated to occasion * great disagreement according as men’s interests arc engaged, THE BEARS have an excellent argument in the reduction of the ratie of increase in the population of tals city dur- ing the last decade, as compared with the previous decade. This 13 an argument, however, which ap- plies only to property on this istand. The actual in- crease of our population can only be ascertained by including Brooklyn, Jersey City and the towns with- in acircult of thirty miles, whence the activity in Teal estate noticed during the last and previous years 1n these localities. The heavy assessments latd upon property in certain sections of the city for improve- ments involving @ heavy outlay is anovher depressing influence, which 1s especially felt by owners of property in the ne.ghvorhved of the Park. Many of these improvements are # great public benefit, and the enormons expense attenaing them might. with fair jastice be distributed over tho eutire county. THE BULLS, however, notwithstanding the croaking of their ‘opponents and some reactionary sigas this fall, look forward with @ settled confidence to an active mar. ket im the spring.

GOLD STRONG—1LL%{ A 1124. ‘Toe speciai consideration affecting the gold market 1s, al present, the course of our bonds in Europe, ‘Tho street was filled to-day with vartous and con- Nicting rumors as to the condition of affairs at the Londou Stock Exchange, the situation at one time being represented as quite panicky, owing to the firm’ attitude which Russia bad assumed in her latest response to the communication of Karl Gran+ ville, The nature of this last document did nol transpire, the only intelligence concerning il, that wis known to the street, being the indefinite aud general statement just given. But the accompany- ing announcement that Jolin Bright had resigned from the Cabinet of Ministers was regarded a3 @ further step fn the direction of a war policy on the part of Great Britain, the effect of which wes reflected in @ decline ia conmsels to 924 a 92), as agains! 27, earlier in the week. The most curious and suggestive feature of the fluctuation at the Lon- dou Stock Exchange, however, is the growing irm- ness of American securities, which are gradually becoming less sensitive to the public apprehension there of a war wiih Russia, To-day the decline in our bonds wus less marked than that in English consels. OF course it 38 ovly natural that the sym- pathy which at first existed between them should gradually dicunisi. The war between France and Prussia drove millions of capital from the Continent to Londen, wamere tt found inveat- ment in consols. Now that England is in danger ot a war with Russia this eapttal naturally looks about,fer a fresh refuge, Hence we find that the excitement and agitation in Loaden which at first affected all securitics alike are beginning to turn this capital mto American securines, whieh are the obligations of the onty Power likely to escape the complications arising out of the Eastern ques- tion as revived by Russia's netes to the several Powers. For this reason the depression in our bounds was not at all commensurate with the re. ported semi-panic at London, their decline being only About % @ 34 per cent against a fall of 4 Aa $4 per cent in consuls, T e difference may be rifting, but any variation tu our faver is certainly very sig- nificant, At least 1: bad an important resultin the Gold Room, where the speculation for a rise produced the comparatively small fuctuation from 1114 te 1121; as the extreme prices of the day. again the rates iu the jean market indicate that a great deal of gold Has been bought despite tits smail advance, the demand for cash gold becoming se light for the Clearlag House this afternoon teat the figures which bad previously favored lenders turned against them, and as high as six per cent was paid to have gold carried.

The stock market at the opening was iim, but the reported excitement in London produced a decline on the general! list, Which Was afterward checked when it was found that the depression abroad ex- tended less to Atuerlean securivies than to home investments. Iu fact, Erie was quoted tn London at 20 (sterling) when consels had fallen to 9244, wwe former being the highest price attained there for over ayear, It is only fair to say, however, that much of this strength 18 due to the reported manipa- Jauon of the foreign market by agents of the well Known Erte clique in this city, Subsequently the market became strong and buoyant, with a general advance in prices, on the announcement that the rival trunk lines leading oat of this city nad agreed upon a tart of winter ireights, the new arrange ment to go into eflectat such @ time as wonld antici pate the inereased business arising out of the closing of the season of navigation. It was also reported on the street that the several boards of directors of the various Jines had ordered an early presentation of treasurers’ reports, in order thaf they might de- clare dividends before the close of December, afver which time the old Jaw, imposing a tax of five per cent on dividends, will go Into effect again. It wiil be remembered, in this connection, that the last Congress, in revising the Internal Revenue laws, committed an oversigh id left a hiatus in the period for collecting such taxes, extending to the beginuing of the ensuing year. * 0 5g a 109 ao. do. dy., Couper, +} HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICK, The following table shows tee highest and Jewest prices of the icading stocks during the day:— Highest, Lowest, ry 92% New York Central consolidated.

AN IMPORTANT LIFE INSURANCE CASE, asures will for cide Claim the Insurance ¢ {From the Hartford Post, Nov. 21.) A netice that an action had been comm al Anna M. Buell, relict of the late Jeptha ©. Buell, of Uleveland, Ohio, against the Connecticut Mutaal Life Insurance Company, fer the sum ot $10,000, was received at their ofce on the 17th inst. Jeptha Buell was insured in the Connecticut Mutual Lite under policy No. 54,889, Tor $10,000, on che 22d day ef March, 1866, and committed sufetde by shooting nim- self with a pistol on the 19th day of November, 1569. Mr. Buell was insured in three other companies for $10,000 cach, making « total insurance of $40,000, OF these companies the New York Life insures aga{nst suicide and has paid tts policy of $10,000. The Con: necticut Mutual Life, of Ula city, the Mutual Life, of New Yerk, and the Mutual Benefit, of New Jersey, do not insure against suicide, and these three compa- nies have cembined in the defense against the suits brought on behaif of Anna M. Buell. The case will very likely be carried by ertber party whicn ia un- | successful in the Circult to the Supreme Court of the Umited States, Wo siall 80 get am adjudication of the law of suicide, which shail be final and authori- tative throughout the United States, Jeptha ©, Bueli was cashier of the Second National Bank of Cleveland, and becoming a aetaulter, pre. ferred death to exposure, disgrace and imprison- ment. ‘The coroner's jury, a8 usual in such cases, brought in a verdict that he came to his deatu by 4 pistel shot, delivered by tus own band while ipa state of temporary Imsanity. We ave led to remark here that insanity is alarmingiy on the Increase ia this country. According to coroner’s juries, whose verdicts are not very important tu courts, every p Who gets insured and commits snicide is insane, aad every man Wko commits mardor is insane. It Will be noted that it is over one year since the loss occurred, and nearly a year since the right of uw cialm occurred, aud it was feared the claimants would not commence an action. 1) 18 a sausfaction Uiat the commencement of the actiel are an nonnced, as the jarge amount m controversy, the ability of the plamti to prosecute, the welgut of three corporations defending, the ability of counsct retained On both sides, assures @ more satisfactory discussion and atithoritatlve settlement of the law of suicide as applied te life imsurance contracts tan has yet been liad ee a oR A MARRIAGES AND BEATHS.
