The Surplus Reserve Increased to Nearly Three Millions. ~ MERCANTILE CREDIT AND DISCOUNTS. One Salutary Result of the Recent Stringency in the Money Market, The Sequel to the “Corner” in Northwestern. WALL STREET, Sunpay, Dec. 1, 1872. ‘The subsidence of the ‘corner’ in Chicago and Northwestern shares and the intervention of the ‘Thankeagiving holiday, together with the approach Of the time for the annual MEETING OF CONGRESS, conspired to deprive Wall street of much of its usual animation the past week, the stock market being visited on some ys with spells of intense auiness. As Congress assembles to-morrow, and as the ensuing week is likely to be taken up with the transmission and reading of the Presidential Message and departmental reports, the attention of Wall street will doubtless be largely absorbed in the various documents which will thus be pre- sented, for we have little indication of any im- portant FINANCIAL MEASURES to be introduced this session, and, as before intl mated. by us, any positive action in the way of & modification of the Banking and Currency and like laws will doubtless be left for the new Congress, which will come into power with the second ad- ministration of General Grant, especially as the new delegation will more properly represent the latest sentiment of the community on these and kindred subjects, The past week brought with it @ more encouraging outlook for the future of THE MONEY MARKET, both at home and abroad. The Bank of England, relieved by the gold which came from this country 80 promptly when a necessity for it arose, has been able to lower the rate of discount to 6 per cent, and money on the street in London is not worth any more than at bank. Here in New York there was, early in the week, something of the strin- gency attending the closing up of shipments for the movement of the crops from the West and South to the East; but with the cessation of the demand on this account the rate on call drifted to EASIER FIGURES, although at the close on Saturday there wasa more active inquiry owing on the one part to clique operations at the Stock Exchange and toa rumor that the Treasury Department had called in the remainder of the government money on special deposit with two of the leading downtown banks, The most encouraging sign, however, was the larger inquiry for mercantile paper and conse- quent felaxation in the rates of discount, The competition for money on call, during the past two months, was a great inconvenience to the mer- chants, but by diminishing the sources for obtain- ing credit forced them to a more ECONOMICAL MANAGEMENT of their affairs, and has really-greatly served their interests, The mercantile credit of the city is on @ better basis now than it stood upon three months ago, all owing to the less facility with which ‘‘ex- tensions” and “renewals” were obtained. Ex- change on Europe has been firmer for sixty days Dilla as a consequence of the reduction of the Bank of Englana discount rate, but the sight rate has been weak and a fraction lower. The inquiry has also been stimulated by the closing up of ac- counts for the year 1872 and the lower ruling of gold, the market leaving off Saturday on the basis of 10834 a 10834 for prime bankers’ sixty-day ster- ling and 109% a 110 for sight bills, THE STOCK SPECULATION has taken up some new favorites, and we find a complement of the movement in Northwestern in a rapid rise in Lake Shore, to which its patroniz- ing clique have been able to devote their attention more undividedly now that they haye been re- teased from their alliance with Jay Gould in the former. The popular interest has also taken hold of a good many of the dividend-paying stocks, and New York Central has been as high as 96%, out- stripping Lake Shore nearly one per cent, although the latter has the advantage of an accrued divi- dena of over 3per cent. The signs also’ indicate “A LIVELY SPECULATION * in Pacific Mail, which the pool unloaded at 100 or thereabouts, and are now depressing, with a view to buying back for a fresh rise, to follow their dec- Jaration of a dividend within the next three months. This is the suspected programme; but, of course, the game is capable of a great many varia- tions, such, for instance, as consolidation with Panama, each of which will be a sufficient pretext to “get the boys to speckilate,” as Uncle Daniel says, In THE GOLD MARKET the results of the reduction of the Bank of England rate of discount have not been as important as expected—the lowest price subsequent to that event having been 113%, against 113'4 on the pre- vious Monday, The demand for gold in the pur- chase of exchange in settling up foreign accounts for the year has had much to do witn checking the decline, so that the infuence of the lower turn of the London money market has not been fully ex- perienced. It is a good sign that so many of our merchants are making their remittances to Europe now. They will profit by their wisdom at no dis- tant day, and help their future business by doing What is best calculated to reduce the gold pre- mium. The deferment of the closing of foreign ac- counts by the borrowing of exchange and gold has been the chief cause of the maintenance of a pre- mium on gold. - GOVERNMENT BONDS, There ‘wes a steady improvement from day to day throughout the government list, the chief features being the 67’s and currency sixes, which advanced about one per cent during the week. One reason of the rise is the strength and activity of United States securities in the foreign markets, particularly in London, where, with the return of easier money, the inquiry for them has revived quite suddenly, not to speak of the domestic de- mand, whicn is always large at this season, owing to the release of money from business and the necessity for its employment in & RELIABLE INVESTMENT having 4 ready market.

The extreme fluctuations daily in the price of gold during the week were as follows:— 123g ‘THE BANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the associated banks is quite favorable, and indicates that those institu- tions have touched the bottom of the ebb of their resources fer the present season, and that they have now entered upon the rising tide which sets in during the Winter season, The gain in legal tenders is over @ million and a quarter dollars, despite the withdrawal by the government of the six hundred thousand dollars forming por- tion of the special Treasury deposits in two of the city banks. The gain in specie is also quite fatter- ing. The deposits have increased to the extent of two and a quarter millions, The other items show no important changes, but as the loans have in- creased the banks evidently feel themselves stronger. The statement compares with its pre- decessor as follows:— Nov. 30, Loans.

SATURDAY, Nov. 30—6 P. My ‘The trade movement has been rather fitful and commercial values somewhat irregular during the past week, so that, taken as a whole, business has been less satisfactory than during the preceding week, The volume of business has been lighter from day to day, while the aggregate business of the week was smaller in most of the leading arts cles of merchandise, while only in a very few was there any increase. In a few commodities there has been a further appreciation of values; but, as a rule, prices have undergone no essential change either one way or the other. The export move- ment has been quite moderate, but there has been no further relaxation of rates of freight or charter. The export movement in breadstutls and cotton has been quite slow, and tue former have accordingly experienced some depreciation. On Saturday, as usual, comparatively little was done, either on or off Change, and the markets closed invariably quiet, but with considerable buoyancy in most departments and with general firmness in nearly all. Flour continued dull, but there was some inquiry forexport. Wheat was decidedly firmer, but dull. The same is true of corn, which sold higher, but was dull. Whiskey was firm, The pork market remained in the anomalous and nominal condition. Freights and charters were steady, but quiet. Cotton was also quiet and easier for lotson the spot. Groceries were very quiet, but steady. Petroleum remained dull. Spirits turpen- tine was nominal and rosin was the turn better. Corrrx.—The market to-day has been quiet for all de- scriptions, but nevertheless prices were steady.

A NIGHT OF HORROR. The Steward Frozen to Death in the Rig- ging and a Sailor Washed Over- board and Drowned. The Three Survivors Rescued in|! an Insensible Condition. Another appalling disaster on the waters must be chronicled, and this time occurring in our own bay and within signal of Sandy Hook. The schooner Charles H. Moller, 500 tons burden, of New York, foundered yesterday morning, about two o'clock, in a gale of wind, and of the crew of five men on board one was frozen to death, another drowned and the three survivors were only rescued in a dying condition. The Moller, left Philadelphia loaded with coal on Saturday, the 23d ult., and hada somewhat tempestuous voyage. She rounded Sandy hook at about one o'clock yesterday morn- ing. The wind at the time was blowing west by south and about HALF A GALE, The waves were very high, great diMeculty that she through the mountainous sea. She strained and pitched and tossed, and Captain Brown Was thinking of reducing the sail, when suddenly there came on a tremendous gust, and, catching the sails, the schooner lurched over. At the same moment a violent crash was heard. The centre- board chain had parted, In less time than I tske to tell it she went clean over on her beam ends and began filling with water. The captain ordered the men, who were all on deck at the time, to throw themselves into the rigging; but the vessel WENT DOWN WITH SUCH RaPIpiTy that only himself and the mate, Foster 8, Robbins, had time to climb into the rigging before the schooner went down. The three other men were struggling in the water, and it was with extreme dimculty and danger to themselves that the cap- tain and the mate succeeded in getting the steward—who was one of the men in the water—into the rigging. One of the sailors, a Frenchman named Vennie, also and it was with made her way being remorselessly washed by the waves, into the foremast rigging. The fifth man, Frederick Bound, who had gone under the schooner when she lurched over in going down, was missing, and for some time was looked for vainly. Then he was SEEN TO COME TO THE SURFACE slowly, but evidently already exl.austed. Then a tremendous wave washed over him, and he disap- peared forever under the dark waters. In the meantime the position of those who had succeeded in climbing into the rigging was every moment more precarious. The schooner had sunk on her beam ends and was lurching over from side to side with the force of the waves, and the miser- able survivors were every moment PLUNGED BENEATH THE BOILING WATERS, only to reappear and be again plunged down. This position could not have been maintained for ten minutes, when suddenly the s@aooner righted, and the masts resumed their upright position. This was only comparative misery, for the men were drenched to the skin and their garments were frozen around them almost immediately. ‘The gale only seemed to increase in violence, and every now and then the waves dashed up over their heads, and scattered the spray in a million frozen particles upon them, The night was pitch dark and nothing could be seen but the dim light on Sandy Hook roint. THE COLD WAS INTENSE, and so benumbed the men that it was with the greatest efforts they were enabled to make any motion, As well as could be calculated the acci- dent had occurred about half way between the Romer and the point or the Hook. Situated as the tour men it were wasevident to them that they could not live long in such a position, To alleviate their condition the captain endeavored to cut the halyards sustaining the foresail, which, to add to their misery, Mapped about in the wind and with such force as to almost hurl the men every moment from their positions in the rigging. In th however, ie could = not —sBucceed, _for, j Without certain | destruction, =he could ; not reach the halyards with his knife to cut them asunder. He then succeeded in cut- ting the gafftopsail, halyards and brace fast the sail down in such @ manner as to place himself and his men to seaward, thus saving them trom the great force of the cold, bitting wind. The cold, however, was so great that THEIR LIMBS BECAME BENUMBED every moment, and it required an effort to detach them from the ropes which sustained them. ‘the captain, in endeavoring to cut the foresail hal- yards, had his hand frozen, and he was obliged they b moment to change his position and beat his hands and members to ig them gettin; frozen. The mate (Robbins) and he would beat each other about the body to keep ; the blood in circulation, The third sailor (venne) to resort to the same means to preserve his life. The steward suffered most, and appeared to give way under tie terrible ordeal of his sufferings. Had it not been for the captain and mate he would have allowed himself "C0 drop into the sea. He, indeed, hardly scemed to realize his deadly position. Captain Brown endeavored to encourage him and made every e‘ort to prevent his sinking into despair; but it was to little pur- pose. Finding that he could not keep up long, the two others resolved to place him in such a position that he could not fall, They beat him on the head and breast, to restore circulation, and then with great dificulty they pulled his legs (which were quite stiff) round gud placed them OVER A CROSS-TREB, with his back to the mast, and made him secure. At this time the man appeared to have hardly any sensibility left. In this manner the time passed on, and the steward only uttered a word occasion- | ally, beawing the others to let him die, At about six lock e talked no more and had become uncon- scious, The captain and mate, even forgetting their own sufferings continued to give him nearly all their attention until it became apparent that he could not be revived. ‘They still kept him between them, however, in the same position as beiore. As the day began to dawn the real position of affairs resonated itself to the sufferers, The land was quite close to them, but there was no means of reaching it. The boat was subm ‘ares and could not be reached, even nad the hail-irozen men the strength to use it, ‘The waves were still Millia | in huge billo;vs, and the storm, though not so intense as during the night, was still furiously raging. Captain Brown saw two steamships pass out of the harbor, and he endeavored to mal An ais to them, but the masts ntl; sf DID NOT SEE THEM, He also saw a number of smaller craft, schooners a others, pass the wreck, and so near that it | seemed impcaaible they did not Le it; but they rendered no assistance, They then gain at tempted to revive the steward, but to no purpose. The blood had congealed in red patcies on. his hands and face, and it was evident that he was past suffering. His eyes were open, but they were glazed an ‘staring, and de. noted no consciousness, At about seven o'clock in the morninga tugboat came near them, eaw their condition and went to their assistance. This roved to be the A. F. Walcott, Captain Manks, of New York, As the tug neared them TUE SEA WAS STILL 80 HEAVY that an attempt to save them would probably only * have Ween attended with disaster both. ‘The brig Lucy then moved otf and it seemed to the dying men as if they were again going to ve de- serted. But this fear was only momentary, as the Walcott soon came back, towing the fishing smack Lewis Blacksord, ol New York. When suficienti, near, and leeward of the wreck, the smac' lowered a smali voat, which was pameciaay manned with the crew of the smack. ‘The little boat was tossed about in @ wild way as it neared the wreck, but after immense efforts and indomi- table plick succeeded in reaching it. But by this time the suffering men were already almost incapable of taking advantage of the glad succor. The captain himself had to be low- ered down, hardly able to help himself. The mate was almost dead with cold and exhaustion and the third sailor was little better. The three were finally transierred from the rigging of the sunken schooner to the small boat, ALL EFFORTS WERE FUTILE in endeavoring to rescue the steward, Several efforts were made, but he was frozen to the rigging and quite dead, ‘here was no means of lowering | the corpse, and it was leit In the same position, succeeded In clambering from the deck, which was | was in another part of the rigging and was obliged | we! erp so low in the water that the people on board | Suce ro evide — hideously grinning with the impress of the feasn’ struggle on its distorted countenance. Again the small boat took its way across the angry waves, and at loge transferred the three wrecked men on board the tug. When they reached there all consciousness had left them, and. many restora- tives were applied before they were brought to life, The smack then came to the city, and the tugboat only came up at evening, bri the three survivors on board. WHAT THE CAPTAIN OP THE SMACK SAYS, A HERALD reporter saw the captain of the fishing emack yesterday morning. He said:—“We were cruising along the coast and fell in with the schooner off Ca Henry and it of Barnegat. At the time she was fying her mainsail single reefed “a topsail. lost sight of her south of Hook about night, and in the hag ge found sunk, with four men clinging to the rigging. lowered a boat and rescued three of the men; ane of them were insensible and the fourth, lashed to the rigging, frozen to death, One of the men had been previously drowned. CAPTAIN MONK'S STORY. ie HERALD man saw Captain Monks, of the tag- West. We got the smack Blackford in tow, and got her near the schooner. Her boat rescued three men, who, when they came on board, were insensible, It took @ long time to restore them to life.’ CAYTAIN BROWN'S STORY, ‘cant captain of the wrecked schooner gave & phic proture of his sufferings to the HERALD re- ert fe said when morning dawned, and several veanels posed him and would not come to his rescue, he almost despaired of life, He had suf- fered intensely from cold, and for two honi had been clinging in the rigging, beside ao frozen cor ‘hen, finally, the boat belonging to the fishing ‘smack had come alongside he only had strength enough to reacti it, and the love of life which had upheld his courage thus far com. pletely gave way and he became insensible. The sailor Bound had been drowned at the very moment of the wreck. He could not account for the cause of the wreck, but believed the sudden violence of the sea had caused the centre-board chain to part, starting one of the planks in the bottom. From the time of the acci. dent to the cieappearenics of the hull beneath the water was not five minutes, ‘The schooner Charles H. Molier was owned partly by himself and partly by Moses B, Cower, balk ccrnacsnd OH “THE NEW LION.” The Discoverer of Dr. Livingstone—Graphic Dee scription of What He Accomplished. [From the Cincinnati Commercial, Nov. 28.] THE NEW LION, Stanley is the new lion. He Is a genuine African lion, He penetrated farther into Africa than any other modern white man, excepting, always, Dr. Livingstone, whom he was sent to find, By finding Livingstone, the greatest of all African lions, Stan- ley has himself become a lion. Once upon a time when Bombastes Furioso remarked that he had heard ahungry lion on Afric’s burning shore give agrievous roar, Artaxerxes replied that he had heard another Lion give a grievous roar on Alric’s burning shore, and (he continued) the first lion thought the last a bore. But this does not apply to Livingstone and Stanley. When Stanley heard Livingstone's voice it was music to his ears, and it Livingstone could have heard Stanley during the last few months he might have thought him a bore, but he could certainly not have got enraged at him. Everybody remembers the dilemma of poor Titus when he heard a lion roar- ing in the lobby of the British Parliament. “Say, Mr. Speaker,” cried Titus, “siall we shut the door and keep him there, or shall we let him in to try if we can turn him out again?” It was safer, of course, to keep the lion out, if it were possible; but, if he had burat in, the best thing would have been for the members to run for their lives and let him have the whole place to himself, where he might roar to his heart's content. But it is impossible to ran away from Stanley, though {t is not hard to keep clear of Livingstone, Stanley roams to and fro over the earth like Job's adversary, and his yoice is heard louder than Watt. Whitman’s “bar- baric yawp over the roois of the world.” The best way, When he comes around, is to give up at once, and let him devour thifgs till he can hold no more. 1, when he first appeared on this side of Airica, and got into a row with the British Association, he had been seized and sent to limbo, there would have been no more bother about him; bus even the Britisn Lion drew in his tall on that occasion, and since then Stanley has been more rampant than ever. He put Francis Galton to flight, terrified the British Geo- graphical Society, got Sir Henry Rawlinson into a quandary, scattered all his enemies or reduced taem to despair, obtained a peace offering tn tho shape of a gold snuti-box from the Queen, secured fat feasts at every he visited, and compelled the whole British press to sing his praises. Never before was there such a lion, Never was there one who made way with his enemies in such style, or extorted from them such comestibles and things. Stanley has arrived in this country, and is get. ting liontzed in New Yor He was carried to the city in a special yacht, welcomed by the Mayor, feasted by the Bohemian Club, taken to the thea- tre to se¢ “King Carrot,” in which he himsell fig- ured, received by the Geographicai Society, greeted by tlle popt.ace and praised by the HeRaLp, which is in eestacies about him, Ie again fell on his me: lish enemies as soon as he could open his mout! and devoured them for the hundredti: time. Nobody has dared to stir him up since his arrival. Some months ago, while he was yet in England, a man wpamed Noe chal- jenged him at a sale distance, but Noe hasn't been heard of lately. Stanley 4s an irascible lion, and it would be as well for Noe to hide his diminished head. Once upon a time, when Stanley got hold of Noe in Yurkey, he tied him to a tree and flogged him till he cried for mercy; but Start- ley will have no mercy on Noe if he again gets hold of him, He will reduce him to literary mauure at short notice. Stanley will soon set out om his trav- He wili be here before & great while. We praise him in advance. We will send a large’ andi- | ence to hear him, bearing their doilars in their hands. Noe says that Stuniey isn’t an American | by birth, and we don’t know tiat the point has ever been satisiactorily settled; but if Stanley saya heisarealborn American, and not a Welshman, we shall hold no dispute about the matter, Well, Stanley deserves to be lionized. He car- ried through a great undertakéng, which required a world of pluck and perseverance, He was suc- cessful where others had failed. He did not boast about his achicvements in advance of their per- formance. He executed his work and then dis- played its results, and, though he has been rather easily angered at the doubts of those who, at first, could hardly credit what he said, yet this 13 not to be wondered at when ail the circumstances are considered. He did a good thing in finding the long lost man, whom all mankind were anxious about. We were all troubled about Livingstone, He had set out to clear up the mystery o! the Nile, which had puzzled the world ior thousands of years; but he himself, in the course of time, be- came @ more interesting puzzle than even the Nile. A hundred times we had heard of his being killed and devoured by the cannibals, and every Arab merchant or slave der who came from the interior brought some new story about him, contradictory of the previoug stories. All through these years the brave man had been toiling away at his task, unbeknown to the newspaners. When Stanley found him he waa reduced, in his own words, to a “mere ruckle of bones,” and it is evident that, but for this relief, he would soon have given Way and met the fate which has overtaken so many other searchers into the Nile mystery. Stanley carried him cheer and supplles, which renewed his life and stren, au and enabled him to resume the prosecution of interesting labors. It was a good work well aes and if Stanley has been crowned with laurels the cy were nobly won. Moreover, the Stanley expedi- tion has had an incidental value, which he never contemplated, but which 1s of the highest import- amanity. iving us Livingstone’s ac- count of the extensive and inhuman slave trade which 1s carried on from the eastern coast of Africa, he has stirred up a spirit which has already brought forth fruits, and which will ere long put a stop tothe trade, ‘The British Government have sent a well-equipped naval expedition, under com- mand of Sir Bartle Frere, an accomplished oMcer, to Zanzibar, the headquarters of the East African slave trado, to take steps for its suppression; and this expedition wil receive support from other European governments, as well a8 from our own, in its work. This slave trade has been the meang for ages of keeping up constant war and anarchy over a great part of Africa, and has been the chtet barrier in the way of civilization and the intro- duction of legitimate tramic. In trying to discover the sources of the Nile, Livingstone has done a still reater work in a and calling the atten- fon ofthe worl to the gteat source of African degradation, which will henceforth be under the surveillance of civilized governments. That this matter has been so promptly taken in hand is owing to the entre: bk of Stanley. When ier d returned from his daring ex] peice, ee was iy hard for him, on arriving in Paris, to hear iinee! ridiculed by the French savans, and, on arrivins in London, to find that his accounts were receive: with distrust to all scientific circles, and, still further, to learn that the peogle in this country were reading the cruel tales of It is a pleasure to ionize areal genuine lion, _ who has triumphs to boast of, even though he be fona of showing nis teeth on occasion. There are lots of fraudulent lions, who have nothing to dis- play but their pretensions. There are lots of asses who try to appear like lion Let Stanley go things and enjoy himseif as much as possible befor the next lion comes along and takes away our attention from him.
