The weekly statement of the associated banks is juite' favorable, and indicates that those institu- ions have touched the bottom of the ebb of their urces for the present season, and that they te now entered upon the rising tide Which sets ez during the Winter season. The gain in | legai tenders is over a million and a quarter | Mollara, despite the withdrawal by the government pf the six hundred thousand dollars forming por- ‘Bion of the special Treasury deposits in two of the ity banks. The gain in specie is also quite flatter- g- The deposits have increased to the extent of two and a quarter millions. The other items show poimportant changes, but as the leans have in- wreased the banks evidently feel themselves strong-, | fr. The statement compares with its predecessor AS follows :— Nor, 23.

Foreign ex- change was steady and firm, rates remaining as last quoted, STOCKS IRREGULAR AND DULL, The stock market was dull, outside Pacific Mail and Lake Shore, which were active and alternately strong and weak. The pool in Pacific Mail endeav- ored to buy back their stock after running the quotation down to 8414, but found so little offered them during their bids up to 85% that they parked the price down again and intend to take a@ fresh start next week. The Lake Shore pool ran their speciaity up to 9544 and then sold for “a turn,” the price receding to 9434. Union Pacific advanced from 8734 to 387 but fell back to 3734, Rock Island on @ light business advanced to 111%, nut fell back to 11134, Northwestern underwent a brief spasm of activity and rose to 8614, but the laundry being too perceptible nothing more was done. The general market was lower alter the bank statement, which seemed a signal for realiza- tion, There is also a relic of excessive caution Jeft trom the memory of THE “BOSTON PANIC," which induces a great many operators to market their stocks Saturday and go home without liabil- ity to the chances of the interval to Monday morn- ing. Not long ago the “bears” used to cover up every Saturday night, through fear of a repetition ot Vanderbilt's stock dividend; but now the “bulis” sell out their “long” stock Saturday night and go home empty handed. At the close a rumor prevailed that the government had called on the Fourth National Bank and Bank of Commerce for the special deposits lying with them, although a Wash- ington despatch was construed to deny this re- port. The members of the Stock Exchange sub- scribed $6,000 to-day for the family of the late E. ©, Fronk, who died destitute, ‘The Southern State bonds were quict and gene- rally steady. The London market was steady and the only change was in ten-forties, which were higher, and Eries, which were lower. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICKS.

The snow came on Friday night in earnest, and with a seeming intention of remaining for some time yet tocome. The ulwelcome visitor has not received a very pleasant greeting from our grumb- ling citizens, The skies wear a frigidity of aspect that is positively neartrending to the person who has in fond recollection the soft vdeauty of *the Summer and the dreamy sadness of the Autumn. The Winter is really arrived with all his goomy accessories of ermine pomp and glitter. We wake in the morn- ing and dnd, mayhap, the sun shining pleasantly through our chamber windows, lighting every object upon which his rays rest with a kindly but deceitful cheerfulness, and seeming to invite us out from the couch of indolence into the free air of nature, We leave the cosey enclosures and folds of warmth to step upon a chilly floor, perhaps; but hope spurs us on, and we dress with alacrity and issue forth into the morning. Ugh! HOW BITTERLY COLD! A fitfal breeze blows in our face and seems to cut fiercely through the flesh and freeze the very veins oflife. The nose becomes blue, the ears become fiery red and the cheeks smart with the intensity of the cold. Gloves are fables and answer not to fend the wind and the fingers are numbed to the marrow. How quickly that morning walk is terminated furnishes food for the meditations of the man who philosophizes on human weaknesses, and laughter for the gay cynic who jauntily watches the lugubrious passers-by from the warm contentment of his pleasant win- dow. He has had the sense to avoid the harsh buftetings of the north wind. But the streets are thronged by those who are the slaves of necessity and circumstance and face the keen affliction with the courage of desperation. It is amusing to note the antics which are played with unmanagea- ble skirts by THY JBSTING WIND, and the beauty of form and gait of New York's women is most apparent on these bitter days, when the necessity of roguish display is so kindly obvi- ated®by the accommodating mood of nature. They always come out in troops on the first cold days of Winter. Rosy cheeks being in great requisition, and of somewhat diMicult acquisition without the aid of cosmetics, the explanation becomes apparent without further comment. It is really a refreshing fact, therefore, that genuine ‘old-fashioned cold snaps" do period- lcally ocenr to embellish the pale cheeks of our city fair ones and make them rival the captivating Toses of rural fame. Yesterday seemed more like the traditional Thanksgiving Day than Thanksgiving Day itself, and this fact was remarked by many persons past the prime of life who walked out through the fresh, crisp mantle of snowflakes that had fallen during the night. It has become almost a part of the picture which cannot be omitted that on that day of days the earth should be covered with snow, wrapped in her wintry sleep. But in our prosaic metropolis, where the very presence of toil and traffic seems to frighten away the jolly nymphs of pastoral scenes, Thanksgiving days and Christmas and New Year's days often occur without the happy accom- absently the habit of prognosticating and reverted to past events, comparing THE “COLD SNAPS”? OF THE OLD TIME with the present one. The conclusions arrived at were that there have been few more severe ones ever occurred than that of yesterday. On the street the advent of Winter was marked by the frequency of heavy, thick overcoats that were worn. was also observed that @ great number of coal drays were going and coming in_ every direction with their. mnderoas 1 suggestive of providency. ‘he sidewalks were alarmingly allppery, and the tread of thousands of feet polished the iced snow until it was as hard as the pavement itself. The poor horses before the vehicles slid and strained and tottered on in of life and limb, Broadway was as crowued as ever it was, and the steady stream seemed hastened on faster than usual by the PIERCING TONGUES OF THE BREEZE that hurried along with them and never ceased its torment. In the Central Park there were several a fo swinging along the roadways, but its gen- = aspect was dreary, empty and desolate in the extreme, When night came on the streets presented more sad pictures of sin than ever before. The pinched, haggard, bad, weak or pleading faces of the lost creatures of passion—for many of whom there was little hope of bed or shelter out of the cruel night— haunted one afterwards when they had once seen under the sickly gaslight. But the most piteous scenes of all were those in which the cen- tral figure was some scarcely clothed waif, crouched against a hard, cold iron fence, weeping in the darkness and aaking the passers, with a hopeless accent, for a small gift. The station houses were crammed with DESTITUTE AND HOMELESS PERSONS who lay sleeping upon the hard floors, ranged in long unseemly rows. The stage drivers suffered intensely. Broadway was a brilliant and grand scene, With its glaring lights and grand perspective of majestic buildings; but 1t seemed cold, dreary and cruel in its beauty, with agony and sorrow hidden in the throng that continually swept along the cheerless pave, THE WEATHER WISEACRES declared that yesterday was the coldest day of this season and also somewhat colder than its cor- respondent of last year. The lowest point to which the mercury CH aed yesterday, at about two o'clock in the morning, Was fourteen above zero. At the same hour and on the same 11871. it wasat nineteen, and the lowest point r ed was at six A. M, and nine P. M., when it was seven- teen. Later in the evening yesterday the weather grew warmer, and at nine P. M. the thermometer was at two y At midnight there was littie change, and the people in the streets buffeted themselves and ran briskly in order to keep them- selves from con, tion before they should reach their couches, if they happened to be so fortunate as to possess any. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE, A Man Caught on a Cowcatcher in Jersey City. Shortly before eight o’clock last evening the gates of the Newark avenue crossing of the Penn- sylvania Railroad in Jersey City were being lowered on account of ‘the approach of an out- ward-bound train, when a man stooped under one of the ogee and persisted in crossing. Beiore he was able to gain the op e side the train dashed by and he was whirle: ng on the cow- catcher. The son of Police Oficer Moulds, who wit- nessed the occurrence, states that part of the man’s legs were under the cowcatcher, while he clung firmly to the and held himself up till the train was stopped.
