Le FINANCIAL {ND COMMBROLAL A HOLIDAY MARKET. An Active Movement in Exceptional Stocks—Others Sympathetic. THE CABLE SILENT. “Money Easy, but a Significant i Advance in Gold. Government and Railroad Bonds Firm. WALL STREET, Fripar, Dec, 26—6 P, M, Had it not been for the activity given to Pacific ‘Mati, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and Panama, the stock market would have been dull and uninteresting. Certain local influences were set at work, however, in these stocks, and under a -stimulative movemeut they advanced to @ poiat which well rewarded holders, Western Union LUkewise retained its place among the speculative features. We quote the opening of this stock at 723, @ drop to 71% and subsequent recovery to the opening price. New York Central varied only % per cent. Harlem was steady at about 110 iirie sold at 44%. Lake #hore dropped irom 75% to TAX, but closed at 153;. Pacific Mail advanced trom 87% to 39. The opinion o/ solid men 1s that in its Present manipulations it 1s an unsafe stock to “touch on either the vear or bull side, but there are good reasons for believing in an ultimate advance, Union Pacific opened at 30 and sold as low as 29%, ‘ut closed at 30%. Ohio and Mississippi moved from 2934 to 30%. Rock Island was steady at 98. -8t. Paul was firm at 40% @ 41, Wabash ranged from 48% to 49%. Deluware, Lackawanna and ‘Western sold at 1035; a 10434 @ 103% @ 103%. Panama found market at 102% a 103 a 104% a 105 a 104%. Hannibal and St. Joseph, common, at 2634, and the preferred closed at 3534. C., C. andl 0, sopened at 27%, sold at 2734 and closed at 273. Alton and Terre Haute preierred sold at 34%. THE MONEY MARKET, Money was easy on Gail to-day, at 5,6 and 7 per -cent. Prime discounts ranged from 8 to 12 per ‘cent, The slow, insidious influence of inflation is Producing its logical results, We have reports to- day of the further issue of $653,000 legal tenders. Poreign exchange was tirmer towards the close, ~avhen the leading bankers advanced their rates to 108% for 60 day sterling and 109} for demand. Actual business was at 10344 a 108% for long ster- Ung and 108% a 109% for demand, with the closing ‘business at 108% and 1093. Commercial bills sold -@t 10734 @ 107% for good names. The loan certifi- cates outstanding were $2,390,000, IMPORTS, The imports of foreign dry goods at this port for “the week ending to-day were $878,511, and the @mount marketed $326,724. The imports jor the corresponding period of last year were $977,472, -@ud $1,470,798 jn 1871. THE GOLD MARKET, in its fluctuations to-day, is indicative of a very egtrong undercurrent intent on the advance of prices, It opened at 100%, showed weakness at 10934, and then obeyed the presence of some infu- “ence which moved the figures sharply to 110 a 110%. Until Congress adjusts the relation- ship between gold and greenbacks, until it dig truly known that the Treasury is Mot absolutely insolvent, tue price of gold must @nd will be variable. The strength of gold is at all times an adverse criticism on the weakness of ~Our paper currency, The carrying rates were 7, 6 and 5 per cent, and for borrowing, flat, OPERATIONS OF THE GOLD EXCHANGE BANK.

Daring the past week Governor Varker has been considering the case of Mecholla, the sailor mur- derer condned in Jersey City. Several physicians heid @ consultation in regard to the sanity of the murderer, and they were unanimous in pronounho ing him periectly sane. Their conclusions were embodied in a report and forwarded to the Gov- ernor, The cuiprit, it sets forth, manifests no peat- tence; but, on the contrary, acts in a stubborn, Savage manner, a8 usual. He continues to give @reat troubie to hiskeepers. Remonstrances have been sent from prominent residents of Jersey City to the Pte: senile ainst any further com- tive is reminded that if community would revolt against the doctrine that only the contrite, remorserfu) and decile wurderers should be stranrled. The Governog, alter review- ing all the facts of the case, deciaed that there was no ground for a further session of the Court of Pardons, and Mechelia will accordingly meet nis doom on the sth ef January. ‘ih sovernor was sgain assailed & few days ago by & jew fanatics from Jersey ve and, to get rid of their importu- nitie,# he told them he would consider the case. Not a single member of the deputation possesses any hin ind or influence in Jersey City. Mechella was called upon by & fellow country- man, Who. discoursed with bim 1D 29 own lan- guage. The prisoner called the visitor to the bars, and, after warning him confidentially that spore were parties appointed outside Usten any conversation between him and his fiend, said, “Write down on paper aad put Min under here.” The visitor went away, remarking that Mechella’s bead was tevel.
