FINANULL AND COMMERGLA Another Day of Strength in the Stock Market. ‘SPECULATION STILL RAMPANT. Money Unnaturally Strong for the Season of the Year. GOLD STEADY. The Influence of War Rumors on the Board. PALLROAD AND GOVERNMENT BONDS FIRM. WALL STREET, Monpay, Noy. 24-6 P, we. In the stock market to-day prices were strong ‘and business was fairly distributed. The wind was evidently not in the right quarter for rumors, ‘and the “bulls” therefore had the occasion to Mhemeelves. The advance in the line of “fancy” jstocks was generally well sustained, and until near the close ranged from 34 to 24 percent, There ‘ere, however, other and lower priced securities which are emerging from the background and com- manding attention—securities, by the way, that tare entitled to quite as much consideration as is bestowed on the “balloons” of the street. When ‘the former begin to move solidly to the front, not jin mere sympathy, but as tne result of confidence iin their real value and of a well defined belief in their recuperative power, it is a sign of returning wtrength that ought not to be ignored. Their ad- vance will indicate that real investments are at ork, and the real investor will not let them slip ike his hands, obedient to the same influences fehat may drag down from their high places the stocks that change hands from hour to hour in the Mbroil of A TEMPORARY SPECULATION. It tg not improbable that the more peaceful out- Nook of national affairs to-day may have exercised jsome influence on the general tone of the market ‘and given to it the encouragement that was mant- feasted; but one must entertain a very poor opinion ‘of the temper of the American people to believe that they will be satisfied with simple arbitration, or that the present moment is any more than a Wreathing spell, conveniently made by our govern- ment to afford time for complete preparation. (Were the demand for punishment made by a politi- cal party the attitude of affairs might be different; but when the whole united people are in advance of the leaders, and every Representative who goes into the next Congress goes there filled to the brim with the fever of an indignant nation, it is scarcely safe to assume that either Cabinet oficials or their advisers will be able to withstand the pop- ular pressure, THE MONEY MARKET was strong, the rate on call loans ranging from 7 per cent, currency and gold, to 1-16 per diem, but closed at 7 per cent. Foreign exchange sold freely early in the day at 106%% a 10674 for prime ‘bankers’ 60 days’ sterling, and about £100,000 ‘Bterling changed hands, Afterwards leading bank- ers advanced their asking rate to 1074, and there was some business at 107a 107%. At the opening Right bills were lowered to 108%, but afterwards advanced to 10834, although there were no sales over 108%. The decline in money to 544 per cent in the open market at London was one cause of the increased strength in 60 days’ sterling. The banks are now reported as holding $34,270,000 o¢ \egal tenders—a gain of $1,270,000 since Saturday. GOVERNMENT BONDS closed quiet and steady. The largest transac- tions to-day were in new fives, two lots, of $50,000 each, having changed hands at 109% a 109. The closing quotations were:—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 11414 a 114%; do. do., do., coupon, 114%; do, five-twenties, 1862, coupon, 108% ; do., 1864, do., 110 a 11044; do., 1865, do., 110 a 110%; do., do., do., new, 113% a 113g; do., 1867, coupon, 114%; ; do., 1868, do., 114; do. ten-lorties, Tegistered, 107% @ 108%; do., coupon, 10844 a 108%; do. fives, 1881, coupon, 1083g a 109; six per cent bonds, Pacific Railroad, 109% a 11044. THE GOLD MARKET. Gold opened firmly at 110, but, in consequence of ‘the peaceful tenor of the news of the morning, re- ceded to 10934, Later in the day there was a re- covery to 109% a 109%—the latter being the clos- ing price. The carrying rate ranged from 3-64 per cent to flat. OPERATIONS OF THE GOLD EXCHANGE BANK. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT. Currency exchanges $ Currency balances. Gold exchanges.

BS Feel The reduction of wages in all the mills, facto- ries, founderies, furnaces and shops throughout the country wiil average about 20 per cent, The cork Jactory in Berlin, N. Y., has corked up in consequence of the hard times. The closing of navigation will add thousands to the present large army of unemployed. ‘The Etna Mills, at Waltham, Mass., have reduced | the wages of their employés 20 per cent. All the manufactories at Darby, Delaware county, Pa., have resumed operations with 20 per cent re- duction in wages. ‘The Lenox (Mass.) Glass Works expect to receive the contract ior making the glass for the Centen- nial Exhibition building in Philadelphia. The mills of the Boston Manufacturing Company, at Waltham, Mass., are running on three-quarter time, and on the Ist of December will reduce their employés 20 per cent at the bleachery and 10 per cent at the cotton and hosiery mills. ‘The Workingmen’s Central Council, of Kansas, have made a demand that State or national im- provements on a grand scale be inaugurated to furnish work for the unemployed laborers during the winter. On Hurricane Island, Me., there are 400 stone cut- ‘ers and 300 quarrymen, blacksmiths aad laborers getting out stone for the new Post OMce at St. Louis, Mo. There are also on the island about 100 women and children. The cotton and woollen manufactory of Camp- bell & Elliott, in Philadelphia, which usually em- ploys 600 hands, has closed up entirely, and, unless a favorable change takes place in the times, will remain closed all winter, The jollowing table shows the present condition ' of some of the most important works in Troy, N.Y., and vicinity ;— Hands Cruaity At Prewmt THE METHODIST MINISTERS, ———e How To Get aud Keep Revivals Altars and Anxious Seats Modern tn« ventions—Palestine Explorations. Notwithstanding the inclement weather yester. day a goodly number of preachers of New York ane Brooklyn gathered in the Mission Room, according to programme, to listen to a discussion of the causes of decline or advance of Methodism, by Drs, Curry and ¥incent, who bad been previously tn- vited to speak on this subject. As, however, the meeting was not as large as usual, these gentlemen were excused from delivering themselves yester- day, but they are expected to be in readiness te speak on the second Moaday mm December. Reports of Church work having been called for, Rev. Mr. Thomas gave an interesting sketch of the great religious movement iu Mr. Talmage'’s congres gations, both in the Lay College building and im the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, where hundreds are represented as inquiring the way of salvation. Mr. Thomas also spoke about the awakening im Fleet street Metuodist Episcopal church, Brooklyn. A PLAN FOR REVIVALS. Rev. Dr. Sterne, of Beekman Hilt church, re~ Ported 4 plan of his own for creating amd contiag- ing religious revivals, which is substantially to keep all his members at work and always at worke He proposes to discard the usual invitations to seekers of religion to manifest their desires by going to the altar or by standing up in thetr places im the meetings, but intends, on the other hand, to have more personal contact of bis members wtth the unconverted, He gave a sketch of the great success that attended his labors in @ village in the interior of the State, where his pian wae tested; and also of its success in Hariem, when he ‘was pasior there, Rev. W. P. ABBorr reported 25 or 20 conversions in his church, Washingion square, since Septem- ber, without extra meetings, The elasses are full every meeting night, ana at @ recent. communion 380 Oat of the 400 members participated in the service, Still there is no break, not what he would call Ve religious awakening tin the ranks of the un- godly. Dr. Curry spoke about the recent mission: appropriations jor 1874, which are very large, he feared the Church would not be able torespond. to them as it should. Yet he did not see very well how tie necessities of the case could accept of less. There, is, therefore, the greater cause every minister and member to do wnat he can 4@ meeé the expectations of the Missionary Commit- tee in this particular, Touching the question of the advance or decline of Methodism the Dector said that the foreman of the printing department of the Concern told him last week that after are~ view of the statistics of the Church he hed ieee ered a decline of 29,000 members in two yéurs, sO that the Church is to-day exactly where it was im 1871. The Doctor referred to the changes that have taxon place in Methodism, and expressed his be~ let that SBASIDR CAMP MEETINGS, clurch camp meetings, praise meetings and the like are not conducive to spiritual health in the’ Church. He would not say much about Youn Men’s Christian Associations, because some 0} these are doing good work. The preaching of the- Gospel pure and simple he believed 1s the only’ thing to bring salvation to the people. Dr. STEELE partly accounted for tne loss of mem, bership above given by saying that many of the colored churches in the South, formerly in commu- nion with the Methodist bil gare Church, have; seceded and gone to colored Methodist organiza tions, In one section he believed 300 churches had thus gone of. Dr. STRATTON, of Yonkers, gave an account of; iss Smiiey’s reaching for him lately, and reported his church as in good condition, spiritual me Rev. Mr. BRAY, of the Central Methodist Epis- eopal church, Williamsburg, reported a good in- terest in his charge and about 40 conversions. He: endorsed the plan of Dr. Steele for revival work in the church. He nad tried and proVed it nimseif. A SHOT AT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS. Dr. Osbon said that calling people to the altar Was a modern invention. It was not in vogue a& all in his early days, 300r 40 years ago. He gave: incidents from lis early pastoral iif to show with. what success the opposite plan, or that now pro- posed by Dr, Steele, was worked. He strongly op- Pasa Young Men’s Christian Associations as being” inimical to Methodist Church interests. They never work with the churches of any denomination and very often are in direct hostility to them. It they confined themselves to social matters he would not object. But while they profess and call themselves Unristians, their chief aim is not to make men Christians, but to. keep them out of dram shops and gambling saloons and to provide amase- ments for them. PALESTINE EXPLOBATIONS. Dr. Strona, ot Drew Tepes cee Seminary, was invited to address the meeting next Monday on the plan and prospects of nis Palestine exploring expedition, which is to sail from this port avo the middle of December. Being present he was also invited to speak yesterday. le expressed bis: desire to lift his expedition ont of denominational- ism and to enlist otners besides Methodists in tts objects and enterprises. He disclaimed for it any antagonism to the other expeditions alre: 17 work there; but realizing that the great Biblical want of the day isa map of Palestine for Sunday school and Bible class instruction, and knowing that the otherexpeditions cannot or will not give the world such a map within 20 or 25 y he Prepaid bed Ey ies one pone we within a year. engineer of the Brooklyn ige Company expects. to accompany him, or to follow him ver; sony and he proposes to spend a month in pt, an- other month in the desert and three months im Palestine, traversing that country in three lines. In this way he thinks he may get & passably relia- ble map of the Holy Land. A committee, consisting of Messrs. W. uae ane. J. Parker, G. L. Taylor and J. Williams, was pointed to issue invitations to ministers and lites rary aud scientific gentlemen in New York and, Brooklyn and vicinity to attend the pi meeting next Monday to hear Dr. Strong’s rid gramme explained by himself.
