FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL | EVENTS IN WALL STREET. Unsatisfied Inquiries—-Facts Which the Public Are Anxious to Know. Sa A RAILWAY DIAGNOSIS. Foreign Affairs Not Encouraging--- Prices Responding to Facts, MONEY 6 AND 7 PER CENT. The Gold Market Strong—The Government Outlay. Government and Railroad Bonds St uly. WALL STREET, | Monpay, Noy. 17-68. MAS ‘The stock market to-day opened strong, ad- vanced by irregular steps and closed compara- Yively weak. Bulls indicated that they had be- ome bears. There was much realizing. Unjoading ‘was more publicly conducted than is usual. The eutside situation is becoming irresistible in its indu- ence, and the speculative capitalist finds it useless to attempt to combat the solid facts of commerce. Wall street is but anitemin the great world of nance, especially when all the laws of trade are antagonistic. Temporary inflation may serve the purposes of 10 or 15 gentlemen who have bor- rowed money to create it, ana who, through their | brokers, make the prices that invite competition; but there yet 1s too much of RASCALITY ADRIFT, too much doubt attaching to unsettled business, too much unsatisfied inquiry connected with corpo- rations, to permit even real values to maintain Mheir place. It is not pleasant, for instance, to Rear from a director of the Lake Shore Railroad @ompany that, as compared with the same period Jast year, say from September 30 to November 15, there has been a loss in its earnings of nearly $20,000 per day, or an amount equal to about | $7,000,000 per annum, or to hear him say that what is true of his road is true of his neighbor's; that FREIGHTS ARE COMING to New York, but that nothingis returning, and Shat railways are practically on their back and de- pendent on the resuscitation of trade, Still thus gentieman is only repeating the facts which we have already presented. Ii there be companies which can make a favorable showing their reports ‘will be more than welcome to the publ But in the strange silence observed by bunks, railways and other corporations, until they are forced into | court, there is significant reason for distrust. There is One road, for instance, the affairs of which we commenced to diagnose just previous to she panic, and suspended inquisition only because ofthat event. We refer to the BHICACO, ROCK ISLAND AND PACIFIC RAILROAD, We had shown that the road of 1873, represented By $33,000,000, earned only a trife more tnan gouble the amount earned by the roud of 1866, which was represented by only $8,000,000, or, in other words, that in 1866 one mile of road, costing $43,912, earned, $13,834, while in 1873 one mile, eosting $54,907, earned but $9,995; also that the company had disposed of new stock since 187 from which they had realized in money some $400,000 in excess of all dividends paid during the same time, to which should be now added the amount realizea trom -the sale of the $3,500,000 stock, which by report of last April was then un- sold. We also showedhow out of ali proportion was the ipcrease of capital trom i866 to date to the increase of the length of road, equipment, &c., and this witbout any allowance for capital to rep- resent that portion of equipment which is used to operate the Chicago and Southwestern road; all of which 18 credited to the Chicago, Kock Island and Pacific road. It would appear as if enough had siready been published to excite THE REAL STOCKHOLDERS do demand of their directors some care and Attention to the property they are appointed to prot Shat they shall no longer actas the ‘'r vecretaries” of the will of one or two olficials. It would appear all the more so when we see astock | hike Michigan Central suddenly drop trom the div fend list and sell in the market at 86, and Hauni- | bal and St. Joseph, another land scheme, and once B favorite at 120 to 130, a football at plain 35. Of tourse we allude to anti-panic prices in these quo- tations. Many readers will remember that early im 1869 the stock of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Company was very active at the New Yor ®tock Exchange, and rose irom about 108 to 140, and some will remember the promises put forth by high Officials which induced the public to eitner mvest or speculate at not far from the top figures; but, for the benefit of such as were not | “well informed” at that time, we here state that the principal “grand scheme” was the declaration *f a large stock dividend, perhaps of 100 per cent, to represent the supposed vaiue of the Jands—imen- toned in our last as being received from the pur- ehase of the Mississippi and Missouri Company— which were to be brought into an inmediate imar- ket by the completion of the road to the Missoun River that summer. If there were any who, r membering these PROMISES OF 1869 before the panic were, hopefully looking forward and really expecting, “a la New York Central,” to bear the charmed figure ‘200 bid for Chicago, Kock Istand and Pacific,” let us recall for them a few facta, What would now be the probable value of these lands’ It is four years since we were prom- ised 80 much. In that time 78 per cent of the wtock had been issued, thongh not in ‘hat was then expected. To illustrate: mount of land grant received from the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad was 552,649 acres. The com- | pany have sold and realized as follows:— Net from De To April. Total Amt. irtinent, aha. " Bist 0 61 Asi 40,000 00 3873. 56,440 00 eres, netting the company $258,099 6 Fein age TIT? act ing ti mpany $258,099 61 The company will excuse the figures which make the above sui a trife of $200 more than their re- port of the sinking mod, Now, taking the foregoing as a basic, and sup- posing that the sales already made do not include ail of the choicest parcels, in suality or location, and supporing that the taxes and expenses of the Jand department do not increase, the company will in time realize about $1,809,000 from its sales of lands, This certainly was not much of a basis for such large promises of stock dividend, even on | 140,000 shares, Since then they ha taken into the firm 110,000 new partners, and on more favor- | able terms than they let others in in 169 Com. ment is unnecessar; THE FORPIGN ,MARKE’ Much doubt is expressed with reference to the | Anancial condition of England and the Continent, Private despatches are not encouraging. Decline and unsteadiness are reported abroad, and it is believed that the rate of the Bank of England must soon change. Consols are reported barely stead) ‘They were more active, however, towards the close of the market, and it is not unlikely that Vemporary strength will, for the moment, be com- Municated to American securities, although at the close these declined from ‘sto ‘¢percent. Having already commented on the condition of affairs abroad we prefer to await revelations, believing that in the end they will justify what has been often stated in these columns, Prices are responding to facts on both sides of the Atlantic. Labor and its resuite in Engiand must eventually respond to lator and its results in America, and at last reach the Continent.

We have this day form firm name of The Vote of Westchester—The Minority Enter Protests and Retire—The Ses- sion of the Committee on Protests. The County Canvassers met again yesterday for the purpose of canvassing the vote of Westchester county under chapter 613 of the law providing for. the annexation 0! the towns of Morrisania, Kings- bridge and West Farms, Mr. Morris offered a resolution to reconsider the resolution by which ‘he Board decided to canvass the vote of these towns and that the returns be referred back to tie supervisors of Westchester unopened, Mr. MONHEIMER raised the point of order that, as Mr. Morrts voted i the negative, he could not move’ @ reconsideration. The point of order was sus: tained by Chairman Clausen. Mr. Kocn objected to the canvass, a8 the Board had no official knowledge of the adoption of annex ation, and he moved that the vote be not can- vassed until the opinion of the Corporation Coun- sel was had, Mr. MONHELMER raised the same point of order as on Mr. Morris’ resolution, aud it was sustained, Mr. BILLINGS asked for the reading of the affidavit of Mr, Angel, defeated candidate for Police Justice in Morrisania, Mr. MONHEIMER objected, and it was referred to the Committee on {rotests. Mr. MoRRiS—I am heartily in favor of annexa- tion; but, doubting our rizut to canvass the vote, I reiuse to paruucipule, and ask to be excused, Mr. COOrER—Ii Is a law, and it 1s Our duty to can- vass the vote. [think we could be compelled by Mandamus to do Mr. BILLINGS—I aim heartily in favor of annexa- tion and have beeu isout tue outset, and am de- Sirous that these (owns sould be annexed, Yet the law is loosely drawn aud the bill is a confusion, Ihave doubts as to our rights lo Canvass them and Ido not want to participate, Mr. MONHE MEK—I Would ask if the counsel Nere could not get a waudamus to compel us to canvass the votes? Mr. BILLiInGs—I would answer by asking if a Mandamus could not be got te compel the Canvas- sers ol Westchester county to canvass the vote? Morais asked that his protest declining to cipute be ente ed, as he Would not actin the absence of the opiuioa of the Corporation Counsel, Mr. Kocu—I Wisi aiso to protest agaist partici- pating. Un motion of Mr. Flanagan, Messrs. Morris, Bii- lings and Koch were e¢Xcused irom taking part ID. che Canvass, and the Board proceeded to canvass, taking up the State vote im ivrrisania, but the re- turns were so inaccurate that a recess Was takeD until this morning at ten o’ciock, Mr. Angel’s aiiuavii charges, in addition to the “facts set lorth in the protest, that the returns are intormal! and illegal; tuat i the returns filed with the Westcuester County Canvassers are before the New York County Cauvassers, they have been illeg- ally taken from the file ta Westchester county ; that the protest and aiidavit of Mr. Videtto showing fraud in the election are not belore this Board, al- though fled with the returns im Wesichester county. A very large number of spectators appeared ip the Committee of Protests which met at noon. Messrs. Fellows and Wingate appeared as counse) for the Tammany contestants, and John Kelly took aseat by them. Join 1. Davenport and Assistant Attorney Bliss appeared for the republicans, Al) the protests were read and time set for the hearing in each case, Messrs. Fellows and Wingate presented argu- ment against the counting out of Martin Nacht- man as Assembiymen of the Eighth Assembly district, and asserted *tnat they have afiidavits from yoters of the Sixth, Ninth and Eleventh Election districts, largely in ex- cess of the number of votes counted in which they swore that they voted for Mr. Nacht- man, Counsel cited tne ca-e of Crary against Twomley as a precedent for the County Canvassere to take cognizance of tue alleged trauds, Counse} stated the substance oi (he afiidavits, as follows:— In the Second Kiection district a watcher, Mr. Folk, swears that he handed his papers to the tn- spectors, and was ordered out; that in one dis- trict, alter the canvass, the ballots were put in tle stove; thatin the Fiith distitct the voles of Scher- man were not counted at all; thatin the Eighth: district, inasmaii room, the Jotun J, O’Brien in- spectors would hot let the public see the tickets counted, and that the watcher was ordered to leave, and was threatened with arrest; that votes for democratic candidates were thrown upon the floor by inspector Lewis, and that the whole count was a iraud; that in the Ninth district the watcher was ordered out and was ar- rested by @ police oflicer at the request o1 the inspectors; that J. J. O'Brien came in and in- structed the inspectors to expel the watcher, wlio was again arrested by a sergeant and discharged by the captain, ie returned, when the inspectors refused to procecd until he had been aguin ex- pelied by the police. The counsel stated that they have affidavits showing 41 votes tor Nachtman, whereas only 35 ¥ ‘ prove repeating in the Filth, Seventh and Ki districta, and indeed in all the dist the Assembly disirict; that a gang of repeaters met in a Grand street saloon and divided money; that one inspector, Couch, of the Futh Election «istrict, threw democratic uck- ets on the floor, Other equally explicit. caarges were made in the atiidavits, which show that in the Ninth district, where #5 votes were returned, 42 voted for Nachtman; in the Kleventh, where 4 were counted, he got 41, and in the Sixth, where , ST were counted, liv received 41. John I. Davenport and George Bhss appeared as counsel for Mr. scherman, and objected to the committee taking cognizance of the alleged frauds, Mr. Bliss cited the opinion of the Corporation Counsel, in 1865, im the case of sndge McCunn, He fead the opinion of Corporation Counsel Bronson, that the Board has no right to receive extraneous evidence outside of the returns, and that the canvassers must confine themselves to the returns of the district canvass. ers in considering clerical errors, In the case of Chaties Reilly v8 John Ryan for the seat in the Assembly for the Fourth district, Mr, Nelson J. Waterbury appeared for the con- testant, charging that there Was no registry in the ‘Third and Eleventh blection districts, as the oath was not administered to voters registered ue Gators ot the district. can be disiranchised by the failure of the La fe hg to comply with the law.
