M. ‘On ’Change to-day cotton was neglected and to ‘R great extent nominal, the storm preventing de- ‘tiveries. Flour and wheat were dull and un- ‘Changed, while corn was active and unchanged. THE FOREIGN MARKET. Owing to the prolonged celebration of Christmas ‘customary in England we have no quotations to- day of any kind from London, where business was Buspended, as much as it was on Christmas itself, or the same reason we have no quotations from Wrankfort and probably shall not from the latter city before Monday next; that is, if the Empire has mot altered the celebrations of the holiday season. . mM t there was a ‘sharp spasm in the money market before the close sof dealings on the sidewalk (in the snow storm), ‘with an astvance in the rate on call to % per cent— equivalent to90 per cent per annum. The ear- lier dulness of the Stock Exchange had allayed any apprehension of a renewal of the stringency ‘Bo frequent in the career of the money market the ‘past few weeks, and the business at the usual dours for MAKING UP BALANCES @t the board was done at 1-32, with sometimes the vaddition of 7 per cent, the government dealers wetting accommodation quite readily at 7, coin. But when the crowd gathered, og usual, at the orner of Broad street and Exchange place, the ‘demand became more active, and in the hurry to -pocure balances some borrowers paid as high as 4 ‘per cent—their numbers being quite few, how- sever, but enough to make the rate quotable. f BY THREE O'CLOCK ymoney was offered at 4 percent; by ten minutes past three, when the gathering dispersed, money wvas accessible at 1-16 and interest. Commercial jpaper was neglected and nominal. Foreign ex- change was nominally steady for sixty days’ ster- ding, but transactions were reported at rather easier terms in this call of bills, while one of the deading drawers lowered the counter rate for sight sterling to 110%, intimating, as some thought, a conjecture that the Bank of England rate might be again reduced in the morning. ‘ GOLD STRONG—111% A 112%. ‘The gold market was strong as a consequence of ‘the virtual resumption of specie shipments, in- guced by the current quotations for foreign ex- change and the active demand tor bills in settle- ment of trade balances with Europe. We referred some time since to the movement among the im- Porters to settle up their indebtedness to foreign merchants. The movement has become even more general than was anticipated it would become, and promises to open the new year with a great reduc: fon of the balance against us, ‘ SPECIE SHIPMENTS, ‘The steamer of Christmas Day took out $500,000 Zold and $100,000 silver, and the Holsatia, which ‘went to-day, was to have taken $500,000 more, but the owners eventually withdrew the consignment, Intending to send it Saturday should circumstances gontinue to warrant its export. On this state of facts gold, which opened at 111%, advanced to 112!¢ and closed at 112, Should our bonds come as good from London in the morning as they closed Tues- ay, the price of gold will allow shipments of bonds. Whe Sub-Treasury paid out $645,000 on account of olin mterest, $110,000 on account of currency in- terest and $14,000 on account of redeemed five- fwenties.

In the temporary buoyancy thus imparted Western Union rose to 61 and F NEW YORK OENTRAL made a clear advance of 14 per cent from 984 to 99%—the latter being rather the feature of the day. With the announcement from Washington that Secretary Boutwell had accepted only a por- tion of the bonds offered him and during the sub- sequent stringency of the money market the mar- Ket broke down, developing fresh and special weak- ness in Pacific Mail, which went off from 75 to 734. Before the hour of adjournment a second reaction took place, and prices recovered i @ 34 per cent, closing duil and fairly steady. Outside the stock specially named the fluctuations were not itmpor- tant and were confined to the figures familiar to the street for the past week. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

The severe snow storm put an estoppel to almost all Kinds of business to-day, and trade matters were never before quieter, The day was almost as much @ holiday as was “Christmas,” and had there been @ disposition to do business, it would have amounted to nothing, as it was impossible to move anything, either in the streets or tm the harbor, On'Change corn and whiskey were in request and full and improved prices were realized—with these exceptions, however, trade was at a complete stand—while values, in the absence of transac- tions, may be considered as nominally the same as on Tuesday.

News to December 14—The Militia Get- ting Impatient. A despatch to the San Francisco Chronicle dated Yreka, December 16, says:—Despatches have been received from our correspondent at the front to December 14. He reports that allis quiet there as yet. It was expected that Major Greene would move on the evening of the 14th for Van Bruner’s Hill, The Oregon militia, under General Ross, who are stationed there, are getting impatient at the delay, and Major Greene cannot delay opera- tions much longer, The latest from Link River is to the effect that the reason of the inactivity of the militia is the want of provisions, Captain Jack and his band are still in their camp in the lava bed, and are as hostile asever. It was supposed at frst that they were short of ammunition, but this is not so. They have been laying in powder and lead for months past and ure well supplied. The arms and ammunition sent up by Governor Booth arrived yesterday morning, and were at once sent out to Camp Fairchild. Volunteers are also going out, and the indications are that there will be no scareity of men to aid in putting the Modocs down. Colonel Stone telegraphed here to-day from Jack- sonville to the effect that hewould arrive here on the stage to-morrow. Whether he will go to the front or direct operations from here is not known. Everything is quiet throughout the valley. The set- tlers nave sent their families in, and have their cabins forted up. All that 18 wanted now is a movement by the military, and if this is successful Jack's days are doomed. The Vancouver troops ye old firm nam y have not yet arrived at Link River, or had not night before last, Major Greene has, including the Ore- gon troops, 250 men under his command. THE DEATH OF FERDINAND HAHN, Coroner Young yesterday held an inquest, at 92 Lewis street, on the body of Ferdinand Ilahn, the lad, eleven years of age, whose death resulted from injuries received on Monday last by being Struck on the head with a piece of snow and ice, thrown at him by Frank Rockwel!, eight years old, While the two boys, with some others, were at play fa the yard Frank threw the lump of ice and snow at Ferdinand, but without intending to do him serious eta The jury found a verdict corre- sponding with the foregoing facta and Corouer Young discharged the boy Rockwell from custody, there beiag no criminal intent shown on his part. and about steady ; 700 tnd 22,00 tbs ot tale | ty, Mr. L.

The destinations of the emigrants were algo roughly estimated by # casual glance at the report as follows :— Minnesota. Miss, 01 Rhode Istand, Wisconsin. Tt wil be seem that Illinois is the favorite State. The iavgest proportion of those emigrants who went to Minnesota are Scandinavians. It will be geen that the emigrants don't believe much in the New Engiand States, Massuchusetts being the only one where any great number have gone during the past twelve months to FINP A HOME, However, it is said that most of these were skNled laborers, who were contracted for by manuufactur- ers tn that State. The Southern States, the report will show, are ly nowhere in the list. The em- grants seem thoroughly to understand the condl- Uo of affairsin the South, and donot appear to be willing to risk their all of the presentand their chances for the fture under the rule of the scaly carpet-baggers. Most of the emigrants to Illinois are Germans. It should not be taken for granted that the large number of emigrants credited to New York State really remain in the State. The facts do not bear out any such supposition. It is true that a large number remain, but very many, r ARRIVING AT CASTLE GARDRN, Stay in the city for weeks with their {rtends, or Wherever they can find lodgings, in order to see the great city in all its ups and downs. ‘Tren, tnorougily satisfied, they “go West’ or elsewhere. It will be readily seen that of this class of emi- grants no strict record can be kept. The balauce of the emigration from other countries. to: this State for the year 1872 is largely ahead of that of 181.

A Well-Known Bad Woman Who Leads a Fast Life to the Last—Drawn by Runaway. Hor Into the East River and Drowned. Yesterday Coroner Jones made arrangements for holding an inquest over the body of the well-known courtesan Mrs, Hattie Adama, who lost her life in an-extraordinary manner at an early hour on last Tuesday morning. The deceased, it appears, kept a house of illfame in this city, in West Twelfth strect, and there amassed considerable money. She was most respectably connected in Brooklyn, and her relatives, who have taken charge of the body ‘and will have it interred to-day, feel deeply the degradation of her life and the awiul fate which termtnated the sad career of Hattie Adams. Deceased, it has been ascertained, attended a funeral at Green- wood Cémetery on Monday afternoon. Upon her return to New York sie partook of supper in com- pany with a prominent Brooklyn politican (whose name is withheld by the parties familiar with the facts) at her house in Twelith street. SHORTLY REFORS MIDNIGHT she left her place ina hired coach drawn by two spirited animals, bound for Brooklyn, where she determined upon seeing her companion in safety, as the latter individual is said to have been intoxt- cated, The precious unknown citizen was de- posited in the vicinity of his domicil, and the coach containin, Hattie Adains, and driven by one James Gallagher, started on the home track, About one o’clock on Tuesday morning, as the vehicle in question was in the act ofturning from Myrtle avenue into Washington street, the wheels caught in the car track, and the extra strain produced upon the horses tm conse- quence frightened the animals so that THEY RAN AWAY. The driver was thrown from his seat, and was badly cnt about the head. The horses dashed on down Washington street, a steep grade, gathering momentum at every step. Screams for heip echoed on the clear frosty atmosphere; @ solitary police- man ran far inthe wake of the ee anit dying horses. There was no help at hand. Death alone could stay them. THR END WAS NEAR. There was @ crash as the wheels struck the string piece of the dock at the foot of the street; thena plunge, and, the coach turning upside down, floated out twenty feet from the dock. The occupant was still in death, the drowning horses struggied, but died. Police assistance arriving some minutes later the corpse was taken out of the coach and ‘was subsequently taken to the Morgue. ‘The inquest will be held on Monday next. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married.
