FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, —>—__—_. The Operations of the Syndicate and Their Effect in Wall Street. The Decline and Rise in Gold and the Rise and Decline in Stocks. Extent of the Subscriptions Re- ceived by the Syndicate. ACTIVITY OF THE MONEY MARKET, ‘Saturday’s Bank Statement and What It Tells. The Memphis and Charleston Railroad and Memphis City Finances, WALL SrRest, } SUNDAY, Feb, 9, 1873. ‘The operators of the Syndicate have again en- ‘tered largely, if not almost wholly, into the influ- ‘ences which have affected the course of speculation ‘during the past week. The opening fourish with ‘which THE SYNDICATE ‘entered upon the negotiation of the new loan, and the general belief that they were certain to suc- ceed in placing the entire amount ef bonds offered for disposal, imparted great buoyancy tothe specu- lation at the Stock Exchange early in the week, ‘and led te a reaction in gold, which carried the ‘price of the latter down to 112%, but with the actual opening of the books on Tuesday arosea donbt of the complete success of the undertaking, ‘and the scepticism of the clique in the Gold Reom, ‘whose speculation was father to their doubts, won them areputation for “judgment” whick their PREVIOUS MOVEMENTS ‘aad gone far to withhold from them. As the event- fulfour days to which the reception of subscrip- tions had been limited drew to a close the absence ‘of enthusiasm on the part of the Syndicate began to excite further distrust of the success of the loan. By Saturday the fact became evident that the ‘Syndicate had mot accomplished all they under- took, Figures and- details are still wanting, and probably will not be forthcoming until the Syndi- ‘cate feel less mortified and are in a more commu- Qicable mood. But irem the issue of one call for the redemption of 4 HUNDRED MILLIONS of five-twenties and the promise of another in early sequence the inference has been drawn that the subscriptions te the new loan have been about ‘two hundred millions of doiiars—and such wil probably prove the case when the Syndicate come to reveal the facts, The effects upon speculative movements at the Stock Exchange were exactly in inverse ratio with the chances of entire success, the bearish element—and to a great extent the bullisa element, too—being infucnced apparently by no regard for any partial success, however large, 4n the operation of floating the THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS offive per cents, but demanding asort of aut Cesar, aut nullus resalt from the Syndicate. At ‘the Gold Board the consequence was a fresh up- ward turn, with an advance to 114%4—a figure so ‘tMogical as to require a belief in the paradox that, with the negotiation of the entire loan, instead of two-thirds of it, the price of gold would have risen to about 115}. Meantime the “bull” movement at the Stock Exchange weakened under the same in- (uence, but without as marked results as in the gold preiaium. While the decline was general THE RANGE OF PRICES ~ at the close was still above the starting line, and the tone of the market displayed cemparative steadiness, particularly as it had been in the inter- valsubjected to the unfavorable operation of a more active condition of the money market. In- deed, this last matter is destined to have a more (mportant effect upon the immediate failure of ‘speculation than will the doings of the Syndicate, The scarcity of money has gradually grown to be a recognized obstacle which it was thought from Cay to day would be removed by the usual tendency of THE DOMESTIC EXCHANGES at this seasen of the year. But, as heretofore ex- plained by us, trade and crop movements are alla month to two months late this year, and our money market in its return to ease is retarded by this lateness. The West is still in want of funds, and greenbacks are going to Chicago and Cincin- Rati to supply the meeds of those centres. The reflux may be expected at any moment, it is true; but meantime the advance in prices at the Stock Exchange and the wider speculation in Wall street generally, not to speak of the absence of the capital which previously was so readily furnished for the “carrying” of stocks by foreign bankers, cause a hide-bound condition of THE MONEY MARKET. ‘The chief feature in the active transactions at the Stock Exchange was Western Union Telegraph, which advanced to 94% on purchases to ‘corner’ parties who were supposed te have gone short of the stock in the vicinity of 68, but who, as subse- quently developed, had sold the shares, about 15,000 in number, from the company’s supply, for ‘the purpose of buying the Cuba telegraph cable, the sale being fermally ratified by the Executive Committee of the company at a meeting en Satur- day, whereupen the price fell back to 9%. Erie, which advanced to 69% on Tuesday, fell off to 65%, but by the close of the week had rallied to 67, on ru- mors that the 434 per cent dividend would be paid von the preferred stock and 1% per cent on the common, which latter would be raised to 3 or 3% percentin July next. A fresh speculation in Pa- cific Mail took it to 76%, and the completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad advanced C., C, and 1, C, to 43%. * > “LATEST PRICES OF GOVERNMENTS, The following were the closing quotations Satur- day evening for government bonds:—United States currency sixes, 115.8 115%; do. sixes, 1861, regis- stered, 117 a 11734; do. do., do., coupon, 118% & 118)5; 40, five-twenties, registered, May and November, 115% @ 1153¢; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 115% @ 11534; “do. 40., 1864, do, 40., 115% 9 115%; do. do., 1865, do. do., 115% & 1155; de. do., 1967, registered, Jan- uary and July, 11434 a 114%; do, do., 1865, coupon, do., 114% @ 114%; do. do., 1867, do, do., 116% & 116%; do. do., 1868, do. do., 116% 116%; do. ten-forties registered, 1115 a 111% ; do. do. coupon, 144g 8 114%; do. fives of 1881, registered, 113 a 113%; 40, d0., 40,, conpon, 113 a 114, SOUTHERN SECURITIES, The Southern State bonds were exceedingly dull, and failed to sympathize witn the more active spirit of dealings generally at the Stock Exchange.

MISCELLANEOUS. Our Memphis correspondent telegraphs as follows under date of February 8:— The directors of the Memphis and Charleston Rallroad, which has been operated since July 1 by the Southern Security Company, have agreed to issue $600,000 of income bouds, bearing ten per cent intere: 8 & means of absorbing the floating indebtedness of the road, which now stands in the way of the realization of the rental by individual stockholdei President Rother is leave for Nashville on Monday for the purpose of getting the necessary authority frem the lature, which, if obtained, will leave tho proposed bonds free of the five per cent tax im} by law. Should he fail in securing the special enactment, of which there seems to be no apprehension, the bonds will be issued subject to the tax, the Iranchises and the rental of the road being secu- rity. The bonds are to mature $300,000 in one, two and three years, and $300,000 in ten years from date of issue, those maturing the first three years to be sold at not less than par and the others not under me # The rentai of the road the first five years 1s $160,000 per Petar naee three per cent on the capital stock, and after that date $320,000, or six per cent per annum for the remainder or the term of lease, It is proposed out of this rental to pay interest on _ the income bonds and create a sinking fand tor their retirement, besides earning an average dividend of three per cent for the ten years, aiter which the prospect is that stockholders will realize siX per Cent regularly, Meanwhile it is believed that certain branch roads oj the corporation wili be leased or sold, and that the corporation will realize in parts, if not in whole, their claim against the United States for seizure and use of the road during the rebellion, in which event the bonds will be sooner hquidated, or stockholders will re- alize larger dividends, The business of the road has largely increased since its operation by the Secaniy eee, and the statement o: the Auditor, just published, shows a net income of $217,000’ for the. first six months, which ended on the 1st of December. in view of this position of things, shares of the road, which had declined to 19 a 20, have advanced to 25 a 26. The interest on Memphis city sixes, and which has not been paid since July, 1871, is now being paid from collections on account of the interest, tax beginning with coupons of January, 1872, of which the amount outstanding January 1 was 68,000. It is believed the redemption of coupons of July of 1872 will be begun as early as April. REPORTS, &0. The twenty-eighth annual report of the New York Life Insurance Company, which will be found 1m another column, shows that the total net asseta of the company amount to $21,667,000, out of which there is @ surplus of $1,642,424, divisible to stock- holders and available on settlement of next annual premiums. The increase daring 1872 was $7,515,407, and the disbursements $4,530,311, the number of new policies written during the year being 8,910. COMMERCIAL REPORT, Cotton Quiet—Receipts at the Ports 22,066 Bales—Flour Quict but Firm— Wheat Dull—Corn about Steady—Pro- visions generally Quiet—Groceries Stea= dy—Petrolecum Dull—Naval Stores Quict Whiskey Firmer. SATURDAY, Feb. 8—6 P. M, Business marts have been very quict during the past week, and though there have been few im- portant changes in prices, yet there has becn & general tendency in buyers’ favor, so that at the end of the week we find that prices in numerous instances have settled toa lower basis, The goid premium has. fluctuated considerably, vat mer- chandise has been but little affected thereby. The export movement im breadatuails has been very slow, the aifficuity in negotiating freight engagements be- ing ope of the chief causes of the existing duiness. Wheat has declined bere considerably during the week, while on the other side there has been no appreciable change, yet there was but littie more apparent disposition to buy than when prices were Sc. a bc. higher, There are but few orders fer wheat at any price. The trade movement was very slow to-day (Saturday), the dulness in cem- mercial circles being iptensified by the fact that ‘this was the closing day of the weck, Cotton was, still duil and nearly neminal. At the Produce Ex- change there was but little done and but little manifest inclination to do anything. Fieor was dull, bat unchanged. Wheat was dull and = almost nominal, closing a litle steadier with a iittie more demand for export. Corn was quiet but no lower, and closed steadier. Oats were quiet, Whiskey was firm. In provisions there was almost nething doing, but the market was steady. Pork was firm but quiet, while Jard was steady under a moderate in- quiry. Petreiewm ruled quiet bat without appreciable change in value, Navalstores were also quiet but re- mained firm, especially for spirits. In the grocery mar- ket business was quict, excepting for coffee, which at- tracted considerable attention, and the market was firmer.

At Sedan, again, the French eavairy. attacked en masse, and were invariably driven back by the German in- fantry.

William Starrs, D. D., Vicar General of this Aroh- diocese; in common with the entire Catholic com- munity we are called upon to mourn the 108s of a zealous pastor, a devout Christian and a Servant of God. He was one whose great sim- pilcity of character and extraordinary stably os Manner gained him the esteem of all. jot- withstandin, his exalted position in the Church, of which he was a most de- voted son, he delighted, as became his calling, in deeds of unostentatious charity and unaffected piety. This was especially remarke able in his devotion to the interests of the orphans committed to the care of this Board. To them his death is an irreparable loss, as it must be also to Many others whose spiritual and temporal welfare depended so much upon his pastoral care. In view of the death of suci a man, who for so many yeara ‘was an intimate personal friend and associate of the members of the Board, 1t 1s peculiarly appro- priate that action should be taken to give exprea- sion to our sorrow for his death, to m: fest our respect for hig memory, and to condole with oper who have been bereaved by his loss, be it therefore Resolved, That the Board of Managers of the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylums do sincerely de- lore the death of the Very Rev. William Starrs, D. ., V. G., the late First Vice President of the Boar and his loss tous and to the orphan children e trusted to our care is to be lamented, as to him, probably more than to any other, were the orphang indebted for the care, attention and devotion to their interests and solicitude now 80 univer manifested in their welfare; and be it farther Resolved, That, ag & mark of respect for the memory of our deceased Vice President, this Board Willattend his funeral in a body; that a copy of this preambie and resolutions be engrossed and framed, be duly attested by the oficers of this Board, and, as & slight memento, be deposited im the meeting room of the Board of Managers in the Prince Street Orphan Asyium; and be it also Resolved, That a special committee of five (5) be appointed to perfect the above, and make such other and further Srranaepents as to them may appear better caiculated to manifest our sorrow for the death and respect for the memory of our deceased Vice President.

William Starrs, D, D., Vicar General of she srebaloorae of New York and Director of the ospital, Resolved, That, while bowing in humble submis- sion to the will of an inscrutable Providence, we cannot but express our deep sympathy and regret at the almost sudden demise of our late Director, who by his suave manners, his dignified deport- ment and his kindness, yet firmness, while presid- ing at all the deliberations of the Board, had gained for himself the love and respect of each and every member thereof.
