WALD STREET, } SuNDAY, Nov. 24, 1872, ‘The great feature of the week and the most im_ portant affair of the kind in Wall street for many yoare was THE “CORNER” IN NORTHWESTERN, before which paled the glories of every other cur- vent scheme and plan concocting in the busy Praise of the great speculative throng who do their gambling through the medium of the Stock Ex- change. That a ‘corner’? was in preparation in Northwestern was no secret. The ‘bulls’? were ADown to be headed by Jay Gould, who was fresh Srom a “‘corner’’ in Pacific Mail which bad elevated ‘Wat stock to 103, and the purchases of Northwest- ern were traced to the ofices in which he does Duripess, It was not known, however, until quite jate in the movement that he had enlisted the help of such persons as Horace F, Clark and Augustus Beliell, representative men of TBE VANDERBILT PARTY, who, in the opinion of the Street, would as soon have clasped hands with him as would the dough- sy Douglas with the hated Marmion. But specula- ‘won, like politics, sometimes makes strange bed- tellows. Tne so-called Tracy party were the ori- gina) leadeys on the ‘bear’ side, and they squirmed @ long time before the folds of the “corner” were 0 tightlydrawn, We remember now how they *reatened ali sorts of things by way of extricating Ahemseives from the meshes of the ‘buil” clique, New stock was taiked of, and again a large issue of convertible bonds was proposed, But the “bulls” STOOD THEIR GROUND nd checkmated cach of these moves by a show of equal strategy, not the least of which was the @emonetration of their ability to take all such new issues as the “bears” proposed, ‘Ihe Tracy party Wlipped the Jeasnes at last by covering their “shorts” between $5 and 9v, and are now thought Ww have gone over to the enemy, leaving some of Weir friends, like Daniel Drew, to fight it ont as Lest they could, The venerable Mr, Drew was taught “short” through his sales of * tracts of this kind in Northwestern h one of the weaknesses of his life, of which he is by ‘thie time very probably cured, He was “stort? in ‘thie way between filteen and TWENTY THOUSAND SHARES, but early in the “corner” of Friday settled about halt his contr by delivering stock which be- fovyed vo the widow o! the late Mr. Keep, formerly President o! the Northwestern Company, which he probably borrowed of that lady, who, baving been boling it as av investment, was quite willing to entrast Mr. Drew with its custody. The rest of his “calis” be made good with stock borrowed from the “pool” or their brokers, On Thursday the #tock had been advaneed to 100, and a great num- ver Of the outsiders who held Drew's “calls” sold at the market and LLED THE STOCK, These demands he supplied as just narrated, and hence the complication by which he was so deeply jnvolved in the meshes of the ‘corner.’ On Friday the “bears,” led by Henry N, Smith, put in execu- Sone plan which they fancied would demoralize Whe “pool’? and smash the corner. This was no ete than the sudden #test of Jay Gould on a crim- wal charge—that of embexzement—and his sud- Gen removal from Wall street to ths Cots. But the pian failed to work. Araid was made oir te market; but Northwestern, instead of tumbling down from 100, as expected, went up to 150, while Jay Gould was IN THE HANDS OF THR SHERIVP, and eventually to 200 the same afternoon, after he bad returned to the street. This figure was made Ip order to show the power the “pool possessed, ARTO U SE PTS ences at ae “ext morning they lowered the quotation to 150, ‘and on that basis settled with the small “shorts,” accepting from still Weaker parties WLay tuey were able to pay. The abaence ofa single failure in this whole remarkable crisis is one of the extraordi- mary features of the occasion, and shows how care- fully the “pool” picked out the rich men for their big game, while treating THE SMALL FRY ‘with shrewd and carefal mercy. By two o'clock @p Saturday the “shorts” had all settled excepting (#o it is thought) Danie! Drew and Henry Smith, who remained refractory, the former obstinate to ‘whe last and the latter fending off his enemies with @ threatened appeal to the Courts to decide the matter by @ judicial investigation of the real value of Northwestern, which, in his estimation, would ‘ve fixed by experts at something like 70 a 75 per cent. an abeyauce while the “pool” pressed conclusions ‘with Drew, for whose account 6,400 shares were bought in “under the rule’ just before three ociock on Saturday afternoon, the price rising from 155 to 230 during the transaction, In the re- dations of Gould and Smith in all this matter THERE 1S A MYSTERY which the street cannot fathom. Were it not for the preposterous character of such a thing the wtreet would believe them in secret league, if it were only possible to explain away the afiidavit of mith charging Gould with embezzlement and fraud, Their actions otherwise are extremely sus- Picious. Smith is allowed to stay “short” of his beavy line while everybody else is dragooned into fettiement. It may be that Gould is waiting to make his revenge all the greater, but “the street” | ‘wonders at his Jeniency and suspects ‘“something.”’ It is impossibie that Gould is stayed by Smith's | tegal quibbie, for he must know that there are hun- dreds of DECISIONS IN SIMILAR CASES to the effect that the aggrieved party 1 entitled W the difference between the contract price and te highest market price during the whole interval up to the close of the litigation. In this connec- tion We submit it to the wisdom of the Governors Of the Board whether they should not consider the propriety of regniating speculation as they do im London, As we have heretofore explained, &0 English “corner” is a far less dangerous affair Vhan one in this market, In London stocks are fenerally sold “for account,” equivalent to our “regular way,” except that the delivery and pay- ment in all such transactions are deferred to set- Uing cay, Which comes twice a month. Should the “bears” Oversell @ stock and be unable to make their deliveries a committee of the Stock Ex- change, having jurisdiction in such matters, fixes the penalty or rate for the use of the stock which the “bears” must pay to the “bulls,” and the whole speculation goes over to the next settling day, and #0 on. The brokers would find that in the jong run they would do more business were \he market free of THESE VIOLENT FLUCTUATIONS, which frighten away the wreal Wasg of dealers pnd The dispute with Smith was suffered to lie | NEW YORK HSRALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1872.—IRIPLE SHEET. Keep them fm the street for long intervals, The other stocks were lower before the “vorner,” but advanced quite rapbily, and were generally strong at the close of the week. Gold fell off te 113 on the easicr money market in London, but om Friday was run up to 114, while Jay Gould was in the hands of the Sheriff—the gold speculation being a part of the “bear” programme im stocks—but declined again to 112%, closing at 11274 a 113. Money was stringent early in the week, but fell off to5 a3 per cent on Thursday and Friday, but closed on Satur- day at 1-16 a 5 for the two days to Monday. SOUTHERN SECURITIES. There was a steady improvement from day to day in the Southern State bonds, with a rather active movement in the Tenneassces, Virginia consols, Nerth Carolinas and new South Carolinas, which advanced }¢ a1}, percent, At the board on Sat- urday there was a smart rise in Missouri sixes, which clesed at 9514.

GOVERNMENT BONDS, Government bonds were mostly steady during the week, the general list closing about as it opened; Lut the ’67’s were lower with the decline in gold, while the currency sixes were higher and firm, ‘The market was quiet and left off as follows:—United States currency sixes, 113% a 113%; do. do., 1881, registered, 11534 a 118%; do. do., coupon, 116% a 116%; do, five-twenties, registered, May and No- vember, 112%) a 1125; do, do., 1862, coupon, do., 1123¢ @112%,; do, do., 1864, do. do., 1123, @ 11254; do. do., 1865, do, do., 11214 @ 112%; do. do., 1867, registered, Jannary and July, 114% a 116; do. do., 18€5, coupon, do., 114%; 8115; do. do., 1867, do. do., 115 & 115443 do. do., 1868, do, do., 114% a115; do. ten-forties, registered, 107%{ a 108; do. do., coupon, 107% 0 108; do, fives of 1881, registered, 10934 a 110; do. do. do., coupon, 10934 a 110, THE COURSE OF THE GOLD MARKET, The extreme fluctuations daily in the price of gold during the week were as follows:— Highest. Lowest, Tu Wean : ‘Thursda, i Friday. K Saturday. 112% The weekly statement of the associated banks proved unfavorable, owing chiefly to a decrease of abouta million and a half of specie, the loss of which is attributable to tl ocking up of coin by the pool inthe gold market. A loss of $800,000 legal ten- ders Isnot so easily explained, because the do- mestic exchanges have ruled in favor of New York and considerable amounts of greenbacks have been sent here from the West. From this jact, and the dismemberment and dissolution of the gold pool by the “corner” in Northwestern stock, it is fairly inferred that the statement is made on rising averages, and that the banks are really much better off than represented. There is @sinall contraction of loans anda DECREASE IN DEPOSITS of nearly five millions, the latter being the result, doubtless, of the locking-up operations above referred to. The statement compares with its predecessor of last week as follows :— ov. 16, Nov, 23, $276,464,300 12,101,200 Circulation, ++ 27,599, 27,570,800 Deposits... oe 524,600 199,651,600 Legai tenders. ++ 46,731,600 45,899,300 The changes being in detail as follows:— Decrease in loans, $468,700 Decrease in specie. 1,489,000 Decrease in circulation... 22,500 Decrease in deposits... 873,000 Decrease in legal tender: AN ANALYSIS of the statement shows that the surplus reserve of the banks now stands at $1,193,400—a decrease since the previous weck of $1,097,425, The result is seen in (Ne folowing calculation, showing the re- lation betweed the total reserve and the total lia- Specte......

There was Jittle or no excitement at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday over the Northwestern hub-bub in Wall street. It was apparent that the brokers and bankers had exhausted the subject as far as talk was concerned, and although, during the evening especially, there was quite @ large gathering of the mammoth worshippers on hand, there was nothing like the fear of a panic | among the operators, that was so noticeable up town on Friday night and even on Saturday after- | noon. The “bull” and “bear” cliques in North- western, of course, formed the main topic of con- | versation. Rumors as to the future plans of | | Corn meal, C Wdirectly, in any such combination, and, what is more, have no knowledge of any, I do not own, nor have I bougat or sold, nor Rave IT had any in- terest m Northwest steek, directly or tnatreetiy. My only connection with the proceedings against Mr, Gould is that, as one of the executive commit- tee of the Erie Raiiway, I did all in my power to as- sist Mr. Watson in bringing the suit, and, under @ standing order of the rd of Directors, I became one of the sureties for costs. Mr. Watson has been en; d for months collect- ing the evidence upon which these proceedings are instituted, which have been begun at the earliest possible moment, without any reference whatever to the operations of Wall street. Lest my non-denial heretofore of this unwarrant- able statement of Mr. Gould should mislead the public as to the true motive influencing Mr. Wat- son and the Executive Committee of the Erie Rail- way, I beg to ask you to publish this note. Yours truly, W. BUTLER DUNCAN, 12 WASHINGTON SQUARE, Noy, 24, 1872. A CARD FROM W. R. TRAVERS. Te rue Epitor or Tae HeRaLD:— 1 find myself charged oy Mr. Jay Gould, in an in- terview with your reporter, with being interested Mm a put or pool in Northwestern common with Mr, Drew, Mr. Duncan, Mr. Smith and others, I Was interested in no such pool or party, and the only interest I had in Northwest common on Friday last, the day of Mr, Gould's arrest, came about in the ordinary course of my own business, as follows:—Some time ago I sold a call on 100 shares, at 83, which was called for Friday, and bought on that day at 10434. On the doth October I made @ contract to aeliver 300 shares, at 97, in sixty days, which contract expires December 29. That also has been bought in. I furthermore had another contract, made about the same time as this last, at about the same price, for 500 shares, my logs to cease at the price of ninety, and I have not “gtepped up to any captain’s oilice to settle.” Very truly, yours, W.

SaTuRDAY, Nov. 23—0 P. M. ‘The trade movement during the past week has been fairly active—more than usually active for the advanced season—and buoyancy and firmness have been the ruling features in the commercial marts during the greater part of the time, The excitements of the stock market have been con- fined for the most part to the vicinity of the Stock Exchange, and have not exerted the least infu- ence in legitimate trade circles, except in 80 far as they have affected the money market, which, of course, exerts more or less in- fluence on commercial matters, Business in most of the leading articles of merchandise has been fair, and in some articles large sales have been consummated at fall or improved prices, The export movement has been free, though the ship- ments of grain have probably not been quite so heavy as they were last week, Wheat has been in demand, and prices are higher, though on Satur- day, alter a good heaithy business had been done, the market left off rather in buyers’ favor. Corn has been in good request, mainly at 643;¢. a 65¢.— but on Saturday the market closed dull and heavy at 64c, Oats have advanced considerably undcr a good speculative demand, partly on Western ac- count, and the market on Saturday was buoyant and firm, Whiskey, under freer receipts, has de- clined, and the market closed dull on Saturday at oe, ‘The pork market has been in an anomalous condition all through the week. There has been almost no demand, but the stock being virtually controlled by one firm the prices have been put up to $16, and the small sales of the last few days have been on the basis of that price, while sales for next mouth have been made as low as $4—a dit ference of $2 per barrel in favor of the November “cor- ner.” The movement in Jard has been irregular; prices advanced during the earlier part of the week, but were lower on Saturday. The movement in treights has also been characterized by Irregularity, and rates have alter- nately advanced and declined, leaving off as quoted under the regular head of treights in the review below. Vessels for charter have been in fair request, and rates remain without impor- tant change, The movement in. dry goods hag been fair, much freer than usual at this season of the year. ‘The explanation for which may be tound in the fan Be destruction of goods by the Boston fire. Though the changes in value have not been very marked yet the Cee sbeen upward. Groceries during the early part of the week were quite freely dealt in, but at the close there was but little doing, and while prices were unchanged generally, jhe tendency was rather in buyer's favor. Petroleum remained dull and entirel; nominal. Naval stores were Irregular, being higher for spirits under a good demand and lower for rosin, with only a moderate inquiry.

J. M. Green, who spoke of the loss which the community had sustained in the death of the deceased. He said:—‘I remember his fine physique. Perhaps no man walks our streets Who 18 possessed of more Moe ogy as sical prowess than the departed was. e could not look at his manly form and fine muscular deve- lopment and not be reminded of the early days when giants flourished.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. ———— The Captured and Abandoned Property Act=—Conveyance of Property Before Declaration of Bankruptcy. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23, 1872, No. 272. Dillon vs. The United States—Appeal from the Court of Claims.—Dillon claimed, under the Captured and Abandoned Property Act, the proceeds of 153 bales of cotton captured at Savan- nah in 1861,- Then residing in New York, he owned 105 shares of the stock of a cotton press in Savan- nab, and, to protect his interests, in April of that year made Pe deed, acknowledged in New aynek nal friend, residing in Savannah. In form leed was an absolute sale. From a dividend on these shares, collected by Cohen, he purchased the cotton in juestion. jor to collecting the dividend Cohen had purchased the cotton with his own funds, bus afterwards transferred it to the credit of the preas shares, The Court found that Dillon wasa loyal citizen, but held that the deed was void, and Cohen's acts vested no title in Dillon to'the cotton. It is here insisted that the purpose of the deed was simply to cover and protect the property of Dillon, a loyal citizen, from seizure or confiscation by the eneiny, and that as Cohen acted only as @ friend, and never having claimed any interest in the property, there is no principle of the jaw of nations violated by the transaction. Jt is sub- mitted that there 1s nothing to show that tha agency was created fn flagrante bello, and that, the Court erred in its judgment on those facts, C. H.

The appeal maintains that the decree should be re- versed, because tt was contrary to the facts in the cage as shown on the trial and not in accordance with law; alleging, too, that the Court erred in holdin; the conveyance valid and in ruling that an assignee cannot maintain an action to set aside a fraudulent conveyance made before the debtor ‘was adjudged a bankrupt. It is also insisted that the assignee may maintain an action to set aside a irauduient conveyance made before the passage ofthe Bankrupt law. James A.
