FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL ‘STOCKS MORE ACTIVE. The Usual Saturday Speculation. MONEY STEADY. The Bank Statement Again Sug- gestive of Improvement. GOLD LOWER. Railroad and Government Bonds Firm. WALL STREET, } Sarurpay, Dec. 20—6 P, M. ‘The markets to-day were featureless, the move- ments in stocks being such as may always be ex- Pected at the close of the week, and the move- ments in gold varying with the purposes of specu. Jators, The latter are by no means well deter- mined, Higher prices are anticipated, and the ex- Pectations are based on the weakness oi the gov- vVernment after it has paid its January interest and debt. It is not diMfcult to recoguize the pos- sibilities of some yery important and perhaps astonishing changes in this phase of the market. ‘The routine of the day is described below, and the ¢acts related will carry their own suggestiveness :— THE MONEY MARKET, Money loaned up to 7 per cent gold during the Gay, but at the close was easy at the rates of 5 and 6 per cent, Dry goods paper is carefully scanned; but, as a rule, prime discounts con- tinue at from9to 12, Foreign exchange closed dull, at 108}, a 108% for prime bankers’ 60 days Scerling and 109g for demand. The loan certifi- cates of the associated banks continue at $3,805,000, no change being reported since yester- aay, THE BANK STATEMENT. It is gratifying to observe the strength of our banks. According to their statement for the week there bas been an increase in the surplus above 25 per cent of total liabilities to $11,245,125—a gain of $1,170,375 over the amount last reported, The averages of the week show a gain of $2,507,100 in legal tenders. The following is a comparison of the averages of the past two week: Dee. 20. $25 331,600 Legal tend’s 42,060,600 44,567,700 Inc. 2,507,100 Deposits..., 190,054,200 194,116,500 Inc. 4,062 Circulation., 27,167,200 27,125,400 Dec.

The total merchandise imports since Japuary 1, this year, are $376,982, 227, against $414,339,850 last year and $363,445,134 1n 1871.

It is more than probabie that during the next 30 days these expectations will be verified. The decline in customs receipts, the known weakness of the government and whe falling off of imports will so seriously tell upon the Treasury condition during the next 90 days that gold will advance without artificial or specuiative stimulus. The carrying rates to-day were 7, 1-16, 6, 6 and 7 per cent, gold. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank to- day were as follows: 3old balances ....

The tone of the stock market was firmer and prices advanced from 14 to 23, per cent. Western Union still continues to be a leader, and has its followings in the shape of Lake Shore, Union Pacific, Pacific Mail and Wabash and Northwest common. Harlem was quoted at 120 ex dividend, but a difference of opinion exists as to the char- acter of the sales, and whether for the day the price is not still 122, as last quoted. At the close there was a slight weakening and a decline of from % to $¢ per cent from the highest point. The transactions were not as large as usual, although Saturday is more or less regarded as a “realizing” day. Western Union opened at 70% and closed at 73, after having touched 7334, New York Central advanced from 95% to 98 and closed at 95%. Erle was not quoted. Lake Shore opened at 7444, went to 75% and closed at 754. Alton and Terra Haute pre- ferred sold at 32, an advance during the last three weeks of over 7 percent. This stock is apparently being picked up quietly, in view of a dividend in May. Wabash advanced from 48% to 51. Panama closed at 96, Rock Island began at 973g and ad- vanced to 98%. Boston, Hartiord and Erie moved from 2}; to 344. Pacific Mail was firm at 36%, and advanced to 38, closing at 374;.

MANSON, Financial Agent, 29 Broadway. pienso ap emai THE SAMANA BAY COMPANY. aes 5 Denial of Report of lts Failure=It Is in a Prosperous Condition. One o! the directors of the Samana Bay Company made a statement yesterday in reference to the condition of the company, which ts of interest in view of the announcement, contained in the HERALD despatches of yesterday, that the company had tailed, The following is the gist of the state- ment :— “rhe company never was in so good a condition asitis wow. The financial condition of the com- pany is so good that we have within a few days received a despatch from one of our directors in London stating that the basis of negotlations tor a considerable loan was already concluded. The new provisional government, as soon as it was organized, sent us a memorial stating that they would respect all the agreements of the jee td with the Baez government up to the 25tn of November; and the validity of this document was certified to by the Joreign consuls. As to the failure of the United States government to pay us $150,000 for a coaling station, I can say that the rovernmeut merely leased from us the Levantados islands, and that no proposition Whatever in regard tothe amount was made to them, They have the islands upon their own terms, trusting, of course, that they will do what is fair; but ail this is left to the iuture, Tue government has paid us nothing and left it for the future to decide what they may consider the station worth.” ReProRTER—And in regard to the allegation that the government has decided not to allow any ves- sels to enter Dominican waters? DirecroR—You van judge for yourself by the fact that we have a letter from the Navy Department, stating that the government will establish a c ing station upon the isiands. It ts true that the government dia pay the Dominican government $160,000 a year in 1868 for the lease of these islauds, but that has nothing to do with the present lease. As to the protectorate, we have never asked ior one; never desired one, as there never was the slightest opposition to us. Our position is better now than it ever was betore in the history of the company. We have been hard at work surveying, and will soon be ready to take care of anybody who wants togothere. We have hundreds o! letters from all parts of the country, even from people of capital aud position, who are desirous of going to the lands of the company, and many of these repre- sent compauies of 20 aud 30 persons each, The Director then showed the reporter a number of large charts and maps showing the work done by the jarge corps of engineers in the employ of the company, and the interview terminated. A DARING OUTRAGE. tallest Successful Raid of Masked Thieves Upon Car Stables—§$1,500 Taken from the jafe. About half-past one (as is supposed) yesterday morning six men, diguised with masks, visited the car stables of the East New York and Jamaica Horse Ratiroad Company, at the Union Course, Robert Beatty, the night watchman of the prem- ises, was at the time in the company’s office, and when they knocked refused them admission, They then burst open the door, and, seizing Beatty, curely bound him with a rope, threatening his life at tho same time i! he made any outcry. One of them then thrust @ cotton handkerchief into his mouth, and rammed it in with the barrel of @ cocked pistol, making the gag complete by tying another handkerchief over his mouth, The ruiMans then took the keys of the blacksmith’s shop irom Beatty’s pocket, un- locked the shop, aad securing a sledge hammer and a number of cold chisels, with the aid of a light which they took from the office, soon returned and proceeded to break open a heavy iron safe, after placing a guard over the helpless watchman and posting two men outside as sentinels, They finally sneceeded in effecting an entrance into the safe after about three hours’ hard labor, and ob- tained from tt over $1,500 in money, including between $300 and $400 in gold coin. They then took their departure, leaving Beatty still gagged and bound, After considerable effort he got his hands tree, and. relieving hig mouth from the | from his late residence, 71 gar, gave an alarm, which, however, was not immediately responded to. Several farmers passing at the time in their wagons were appar- ently Loo much frightened to render him any @8- sistance, and whipped up their horses to get out of the neighborhood, Finally, it being now about daylight, some of the car drivers arrived to com- mence their day’s work, when word of the robbery was despatched to the authorities at Jamaica, and a hunt for the desperadoes was immediately com- menced. Beatty is sure that he recognized one of the men, notwithstanding his disguise, and bis ar- rest is only a matter of time. Itis pretty certam that some, if not all, of the thieves were well ac- quainted with the premises, a8 a watchdog, gen- erally on the alert for intruders, made no demon- stration of hostility, but, on the contrary, followed the men around as though he knew them, OUSICK, “THE MAN EATER." He Attempts to Murder a Fellow Pr oner in the Penitentiary and Will Likely Go to Sing Sing. The “Man Eater” of the Eighth ward, the no- torious Jim Cusick, who for so many years has been the terror of the ward when filied with bad rum, and whose term in the Penitentiary expires on Tuesday, is likely to go to State Prison on his release, On the 16th he attempted to murder Frank Clark, @ fellow worker in the stone quarry, and 1s now confined in a dark cell. It appears that Clark had some difficulty with a keeper, a friend of Jim’s, and on the 16th Cusick suddenly stepped out of the line ana, seizing an iron crowbar, three feet long, knocked Clark insensible, The crowbar glancing from Clark’s head struck another prisoner and rendered him also insensible. Both men will recover; but the District Attorney will issue his warrant, and on Tuesday, when discharged, Cusick will be rear- rested for felonious assault, The attempted mur- der has been kept secret by the autborities, as Well a8 a previous assault upon another prisoner, Bernard Connolly, whose arm he broke. No one is permitted to see him except the Warden, jest he might communicate through some of the keepers, who are reported to be friendly to nim, and thus enable his friends to attempt his rescue on Tuesday. as MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
