MONEY STRINGENT. The money market was stringent, and borrowers on call had @ great déal of dimculty in supplying their wants, A number of bank accounts were not made up until after the usual time, and thenonly when the borrowers had paid very dearly for accommodation. The larger number of transac- tions were at seven per cent coin, but as far as could be discovered, in the secrecy thrown around transactions at over the legal rate, it ap- pears that 1-32 per cent was paid quite freely upon stock collaterals, and was even bid for the use of money against the pledge of government bonds. Some of the smaller stock houses paid 1-16, but these instances were quite rare, Earlier in the day, and when the apprehension of activity had been somewhat allayed by a purchase of a portion of the amount of bonds wanted by the government, the best classes of stock houses had been able to borrow moderately large sums at seven per cent, currency, which rate was at this period quite readily accepted upén government collaterals, Indeed, some of the prominent dealers in the latter securities had loans lying over at six per cent which were not disturbed by the lenders. It 18 quite evident irom GENERAL INDICATIONS in the stock market that the bearish element of speculation is actively interested in and working for 1ower prices, and doubtless has helped to make money scarce. But the efforts of a tew individuals im such @ time a8 the present have been greatly over- estimated and less attention given tothé real causes affecting the market. The movement of currency to the Weat and Soutn has been much later this year, for the reason that the first edge, so to speak, of monetary activity in connection with this infiyence was taken off by the larger banking facilities of those regions acquired since last summer by the Fifty-four Million bill, allowing the organization of new national banks in THE SOUTH AND WEST, ‘These facilities being exhausted the farther move- ment of the two crops must be effected with capital from this centre, and we are now begin- ming to experience a drain of greenbacks, which in previous years commenced usually about the 1st of September. Again, while the Treasury has dispursed $11,200,000 in gold-at this point in re- demption of the “called” bonds of 1862, the banks have not been able to make any great use ofthe in- creased reserve thus given them for the reason that fully all the gold so received by them must go back to the Treasury whenever Mr. Boutwell demands its retarn in the shape of payment for subscriptions to the new loan, which he is on the eve of doing, according to our Washington advices. Furthermore the effects upon our local money market of the set- tlements of our insurance companies with the losers by THE CHICAGO FIRB are a matter for very grave consideration. Most of the companies took advantage of—indeed, they needed—the privilege of waiting the full period or sixty days specified in their contracts of insurance before paying claims. The Chicago fire occurrea October 8a 10, The sixty days will, thereiore, ex- Pire within the current week. Allowing ao margin of time for the oollection of “proofs of loss,’ statistics of damage, &¢., ranging from three days to thirty days, the period of liquidation of these enormous losses will begin next week and run indefinitely into the future, As already frequently noticed in this column many of the Eastern insurance companies prepared for this movement a mosth ago and have had their balances lying In Wall street awaiting the expiration of the sixty days. It was the advent here of this money that helped to make the remark- ably easy money market which prevailed during November, usually a month of activity if not stringency. The facts, therefore, go to aisprove any extended or even noteworthy ARTIFICIAL MANIPULATION of the money market, espectally as, outside of one of the State banks which has been alternately creditor and debtor for large amounts lately, the Clearing House returns are devoid of evidence on this heaa; and for prompt indications of a “‘iocking- up” movement the Clearing House figures are, afver all, the best source of information. Prime commercial paper was inactive, but nomt- Dally unchanged at the quotation, 7 a 12 per cent discount, Foreign exchange was dull and steady until near the close, when it became heavy, with sales of prime sixty day sterling at 109, THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF BONDS. The offer of the government to buy one million or Bve-twenties elicited an offering of only $813,950 bonds at prices ranging from $109.74 to $110.50, Gold was taken to be worth $109,8734, and accord- ingly the government was able to buy $517,450 bonds at $109.74 a $109.87. The gradual apprecia- tion of the credit of the United States has been shown in no more marked manner than in the small offerings at the Sub-lreasury from week to weok. Should the present tendency continue Mr. Boutwell ‘will shortly be UNABLE TO BUY BONDS except for the Sinking Fund, for which the limit would be about half amititon a week. The grievance of a too hasty reduction of the national debt bids fair, therefore, to remedy itself, With our bonds above par in gold Mr, Boutwell will be unable to cancel them ata faster rate than $25,000,000 ayear, unless he:should have recourse to the ten-forties, the pur- chas of which would certainly -be>inadyisable as long as any 81x per cents are unredeemed. GOVERNMENTS LOWER. » The government list was a snade lower, in re- Sponse to the decline in gold and the prospect of a Teduced scale of government purchases for the future, but with a very firm undertone, illustrating the satisfaction of investors with the current tenor of the national finances. The changes were slight, and aro shown in the following record of the closing street quotations:—United States currency sixes, 118 & 118%; do. do,, 1881, registered, 114 a 114%; do. do., coupon, 117% #11734; do, five-twen- ties, registered, May and November, 110 a 11044; do, do., 1862, coupon, do., 110% a 111; do, do., 1864, QO. do., 1105 & 110%; do. do., 1865, do. do., 111K a 11134; do, do., registered, January and July, 100% a 110%; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 118% a 113%; do, do., 1867, do, do., 114% @ 11444; do. do., 1868, do. do., 114% @ 114%; do, fives, of 1881, funded, regis- tered, 10936 a 109%; do. do, do, coupon, 109% a 100%; do, ten-forties, registered, 109%; a 109K; do, do,, coupon, 109% a 110, THR RAILROAD BONDS. eae following were the bids for the ratiroaa nds:— New York Cen 6's, 1843.

GOLD WEAK—110 A 100%. ‘The gold market Was weak, and declined to 100%, which 1s the lowest point since the close of the war, and, indeed, since July 6, 1862, when gold, in its original upward movement after the suspension of specie payments, was quoted 1003; a 109%. The speculative sentiment seems uttorly lifeless, and very litle is domg in the market outside the trading for small fractions of profit, Some thought there was an indication of a bearish move- ment in the active demand for balances at the Clearing House thts afternoon, but the subsequent haraening of rates for carrying went far to dis- courage the impression. At the close, while it was thought the banks would have to be large buyers in @ day or two, the market was sull weak. The move- mens of the day is shown in the table:— 100% 2P.M. 109% 2:30 P. 110 BP.

The favorites for this game were Western Union and Lake Shore, Tne former was knocked down to 68 by the “bears” and thrown back to 68% by the “bulls,” but, left to It- self, dropped to 68 The chances of a vur- chase of the ine by the government ‘re now regarded as quite small. At least such was the impression in the street to-day after the “pigeon-holing” of the postal telegraph by Con- gress yesterday, In this connection the following letter, made public this afternoon, will be read with much interest. It isa masterly retreat on the part of the “bulls,” but is declared ‘sour grapes” by the “peara:"— New York, Dec. 6, 1871. Hon. James B. Brox, M.

Permit me to assure that you have been misin- formed. The Western Union ‘Yelegraph Company is inflexibly opposed any interference of the government with their business A meeting of the Board of Directors was held this morning, which was largely attended, and a resolu- tion was unanimously passed protesting against the right and the policy of any acquisition of their property and rights by the government. Acom- mittee consisting of Hon. Horace F. Olark, Hon. A. B. Cornell, Hon. Edwin D. Morgan, Moses ‘Tay- lor, Esq., and myself, were appotnted to prepare and send to Washington a protest against the sug- gested action of ihe government, and to claim 1t3 protection against interference and against the policy of the establisnment by the government of competitive enterprises, WILLIAM ORTON, President. Lake Shore, as the other participant in this strug- gle between the “bull” and “bear” cliques, fluctu- ated between 8934 and 887%. It is stated that the Wabash Vompany have negotiated a millton aollars at par of guaranteed ten per cent preieience stock, proceeds to be applied to the fuller equipment of the road, the stock to be extinguished at the rate of twenty per cent per annum, or entirely in five years, This transaction accounts in part for the decline in the common stock to-day despite the following exhivit of earnings recently made. The policy pursued by many of our corporations in getting money 1s oftentimes shortsighted and very injudicious. ‘In this case the Million doliars with compound interest will amount in five years to pretty nearly a million and a half, while a mortgage at seven per cent ‘would have been as readily marketed.

To THe EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Ihave taken so much interesc in the legislation for our noble public school system that in my wander- inga about the city I nave been careful to note and to jos down some of the fears of the people and school officers, and I now confide them to you with the hope that just enough respect will be shown them to prevent too hasty action on the part of those to whom Will be entrusted the preparing of tne new In the first place, all seem to’ concede that ever the present material of the Board of Public Instruc- Hou, 1s not and cannot be independent, ‘This semi- circle of grave seniors scems voo kind to Tammany’s sons and protegcs, and, promising all things, does nothing inthe most masterly manner, except per- haps to add to school oMctals men who may not be wanted, and at high salarics at that. Most of tho Board are popular, but they cannot collectively act for the good of the school system. ‘There must be high sounding titles given to ambitious school- masters.” ‘They find the places for tiem.
