NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1874.-TRIPLE SHEET. NACL AND COMMERELL | yarns 1 Dull Duy in the Stock Market Another Display of Weakness. GOLD—THE GOVERNMENT SALE. Influences at Work in the Street—A Boor- back Ooncerning Lake Shore, THE MARKET GENERALLY UNEXCITED. WALL STRBET, Taurspay Ook OOP Until near the closing hour to-day the stock market was without feature. Prices advanced and receded on a dull tide, and the fluctuations were 60 slight as to elicit nocomment, and as com- pared with recent transactions but little business. Without being absolutely feverish the speculation ‘was cautious, and the various purchases and sales Were watched with more than ordinary interest to diacover, if practicable, the development of any new change pointing to the future course of Prices. In other words, it was a conaition of af- fairs which, for the moment, forbade either a sharp advance or decline. and in almost the entire line of stocks it was observable that the vipratioas Were within an average range of % percent, The exceptions will be noted hereafter. The market, therefore, up to two o'clock, may be described as steady rather thanfirm. After that hour a new deal was made, and the sale of a lot of Lake Shore ‘was the signal for a general fall in prices, in which more or less of the old fright was exhibited. Several who were long of stocks and had been purchasing earlier in the day hastened to unload, and there was somewhat of & scramble @t one time in the desire to be drstout, The event shows that the market has but little real Strength, and that if an operator is bold enough to throw afew thousand shares on the Exchange he may for the moment force a decline. There !s a growing feeling of unrest, and unleas the railroad earnings, which are the backbone of Wall street speculations, make a better exhibit in the move- ment of the fall crops than they have done here- tofore the sustaining power of the market will be lost and we shall return again to a condition of pure “dry rot.” THE RANGE OP PRICES. At the opening prices were lower compared with the closing quotations of last night, Erie showing a decline of 1% per cent, in sympathy with the weakness in London. Subsequently Erie rose from 82} to 33% and Northwest from 89% to 40, the latter closing, however, at 39%. Western Union advanced from 80 to 803, bat in the late dealings sold at 79%. Pacific Mall opened at 48, improvea 3 per cent, and after selling at 47% ended at 48, Lake Shore opened at 81 improved % per cent, but went off to 80% at the close, the lowest price of the day being 80%. Wabash showed the extremes of 33% a 83%. Har- tem was steady at 129% a 1293. Rock Island Opened at 103, sold up %, down to 102%, and closed St the last figure. St. Paul opened at 34, advanced %, @nd receded to 83%, the closing price. Obio and Mississippi went off from 293% to 28, ending better.. Union Pacific opened at 36, advanced to 86%, fell off to 3534 and closed at 355¢. C. C. and |. ©. sold at 11a11% 911. Panama ranged between 110% a 111a8110%. It will be seen from the fore- going figures that the market yielded to depres- sion at the close, and without apparent cause, for of ramors there were none traceable to a fountain head, and these of late have been the staple stimu- lants of every success or disaster in the street. The extreme range of prices in stocks and the umber of shares sold are as follows:— Sales.

During the day an anonymous circular was floated on the street which purported to give an abstract irom the forthcoming report of Lake ashore, showing an actual deficit of $3,525,200, an -aowal increase in bonded debt of $5,224,000 and an outstanding floating debt of $6,656,606 10, The Officers of the corporation being referred to for the truth of the statement, declared it to be false and without founaation, and claimed that there is at present no floating debt, and that the road 1s ona dividend paying basis.J_No perceptible effect was shown on the market. In this copnection it may be stated tnat much anxiety is ielt with reference to the negotiation of the $3,000,000 ef bonds of the Lake Shore and Michigan Central Railroad Company. Questions are freely asked—“Who has taken them? Where are they? On what terms have they been accepted ?”” To the ordinary Wall street mind it seems singular that so largeasum should fluda place without some of its hidings being discovered ; and because the stock is just now so speculative, in fact the leader of the market, men are curious to learn the details of the new arrangement whereby this cor- oration has secured faunas. ERIE. Much interest 1s felt and many inquiries are made on the street concerning the recent sharp Quctuations in Erie on both sides of the Atlantic, London advices state that the reports of the Lon- don accountants and of Captain ‘Tyler, who went to America to investigate the accounts, were both issued to-day. Yesteraay tie price was up. Now itis down, Yesterday the price was 32%. To-day the market declined to 30 with a later rally to bi ERIE LITIGATION. It is stated that the sult brought by the Attor- wey General of the State, entitled “The People of the State of New York vs. The Erte Railway Company and its Directors,” ts entirely independ- ent of the well* known Angell suit, in whicn it is understood that the Attorney General nas not been retained. This oficial, alter hearing both sides, gave his opinion that the directors bad exceeded their authority, and gave no- tice that he would institute @ suit on the part of the people to test the legality of the acts complained of; but believing that the interest of the public and the stock- holders was safe in the hands of the present Board of Directors pending the trial of the cause, he would not move for the immediate appointment of @ receiver, He now prays for the immediate appointment of a receiver to act during the pend- ency of the trial, Wherefore yee Plaintimr ‘8 judgment :— First—That an acogucing iiss be had of the business, ena expenses and profits of the said Erie Rai NGL, Company jor the period of ps years int} past, to the ed that it may be as- ‘tained whether the dividends declared and paid out by said company, set forth as the fourth and fifth causes of action herein, were legally and roperly declared and paid out of the net earn of sald company, and in conformity with tne provisions of the charter of the said company. Second—That the defendants, directors of sald Erie Railway Company, account tu this Court for their official conduct and their management and disposition of the ot da aa at funds of said com- pany; and that they ed iram their offices auch persons ag have uniaw- ved money or other property of the said be required to pay to the Court the sums so an- way eee an see same and to oper- t the Court may inquire into the ‘alidity of “each and Cy Ein of the transactions set forth i this com t and alleged to be ulena. and that the plain may have such judgmen' the pramines 4 ‘a8 shall be just and pro} proper. PRATT, Attorney General, for plaintiff. The pogrenstal 3 served upon the defendants, alleges six causes of action, che principal ones of which are briefly stated to be—First, the unlawful purchase from one of the directors of the Erie Railway Company of 500 shares of the stock of the Buffalo, New York and Erie Railroad at a price far above its market value; second, the illegal purchase of coal lands in Pennsylvania; third, the leasing of the Atlantic and Great Western Rail- Toad; fourth, the fraudulent payment of dividends fn 1872 and 1873, when none haa been earned; and sixth, that the sald defendants, directors of the sald the Erte Railway Company, have, since their election to oMce—to wit, tne 14th day of July, 1974— ratified and confirmed and continued in force the above-mentioned several illegal acts and omis- sions of duty, agreements, payments and aliena- tions of the property of said company; that they have, in so doing, claimed and exercised @ cor- porate right not granted them, and abused their trust as directors of said company, within the meaning of the statute, and are hable to | guspension and removal irom office. The company are required to serve their answer by the 224 inst., when the cause will go to the courts for @ hearing. MONEY was easy with the rates on call unchanged. Loans | ‘are made at from 2 to 3 per cent. Paper 1s Closely scrutinized and discounts continue to rule at from 6 to 7 per cent, according to grade and date, Foreign exchange is steady, with prime eterling nominally at 4.853; and 4.8834, but sell- ing at 4.84% @ 4.85% and 4.87% 84.88. Cables, 96%. Goup, The gold market to-day underwent a few imma- terial changes by reason of the government sale of $500,000, but the price closed % higher than at the opening. The three rates of the day were 109%, 109% and 110. The rates paid for borrowing were 2, 2, 1, 234 flat, 1-64, and, finally, 3 per cent. OPERATIONS OF THE GOLD EXCHANGE BANK, Gold balances..

THE FOREIGN MABKET. Paris advices report a large decrease of specie inthe Bank of France during the week, amount- ing to 5,730,000 franca. Doubtless the stringency of the Prussian market recently described has had something to ao with this drain. It being also time for the movement of the French crops, and it would be natural for such a temporary loss to occur. Rentes were 62/, 42c. In Frankiort our five-twenties were sold at 9734. The bullton in the Bank of England decreased £451,000, and £12,000 was withdrawn to-day on balance. The propor- tion of reserve to liabilities is now 37}¢ per cent against 43 per cent last week.

Wheat was dulland heavy for all kinds except prime Milwaukee was some demand for shipment, but generally at prices too low to admit of business, Corn was in active request and higher—a large husiness being done, and the market leaving of strong at the improvement. Vata were less active, but higher—closing strong. Whiskey was higher, but not very active nor strong at the close. Pork and lard were dull and nominal, in common with all other of the hog products, prices favoring the seller, were steady, but quiet, Cotton met with a moderate de- mand, raling firm for “spot” and better for ‘‘future.”” Groceries were quiet, but firm. Potroleam ruled quiet, and was obtainable at a shade easior prices. Spirits of turpentine was os demand and firmer, while rosin was aqujet and wtead ket lay has been quiet, but firm.

BRIDGET'S. ~ New York, Oct. 8, 1874, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: I see that attention has been called tn your colt umns to the disgraceful scene at St. Bridget church last Sunday. I trust it will prevent @ repetition of such scenes in future. It may be suitable at camp meetings or a “sensational” pulpit like Plymouth church, but 1 hope we shall never see it repeated in a Catholic church. Truly the “money changers are in the Temple” when it is gravely announced in advance that a newly married fashionable couple will attend, and an extra charge 1s made for all who attend divine service! Pious people who came to pray a8 usual found the church converted into something like @ theatre by the crowds who came not to pray, but to gaze on the wedded pair. Knowing that strict discipline which prevails in our Church I teet confident the prelate who rules this diocese or those who actin his absence will see to the mat- ter, I would suggest that the reverend ge tleman who drew such a crowded house wou make an admirable theatrical manager, and ta wasting nis time tn the humble vocation ofa Catholic priest. If the church is to become a fash- fonable one it would be well to change the name from St. Bridget to St. Delia, as 1s done by those | upstart Irish who think the former namo too | Vulgar, and endeavor to become genteel by the change, Irematn, &c. ‘AN INDIGNANT IRISH CATHOLIO. ANOTHER MUTUAL PRIEND IN TROUBLE, The Result of Writing Another Man’s Love Letters. [From the Rondout (N. ¥.) Freeman.) There resided in the lower portion of this city not long since a swain whose sweetheart dwelt in @ distant place, and in communicating with her her lover was compelled to call in the aid of a third person, as his early education was defective, per- haps from too frequent indulgence in “playing hookey.” To guard against any temptation for the | scribe’s falling in love with his sweetheart the | young ‘ellow settled upon a married man to per- | form the duties thereof, and so for @ time things worked most harmoniously, The scribe haa been | vhere nimself, and, profiting by his experience, he penned such deliciously gushing letters to Mi Ann, inthe name of George of course, that the little Maid soon surrendered the citadel of her | heart to George and promised in due time to sur- render her hand also, Now time in ite flighs caused the swain to move to a neighboring river town to pursue his calling, and it was necessary te = keep up the correspondence with Mary Ann in the | same handwriting, 30 George got a iriend in hig new home to write the tender messages and matt them to the scribe in tuus city to copy and post, | ‘The plan succeeded admirably ior a time, but on oue lil-tated day the scribe, after toditing a most | loving epistie to Mary Ann, en , of course, | with a prayer for a reply by return mail, ina it of abstraction signed his own instead o: George's hame. The return was a female, ana no less | one than Mary Anno’s own mother, who searched out the scribe, and laying bis last tender effusion to her daughter before his astonished eyes, asked him, in such tones as only an outraged mother can command, how dared he, a married man, with | Qiamily, write such a letter to her innocent lamo ofadaughter. Then that scribe had to rise to explain how he had been engaged tn an amicable iraud, and the words must not be taken as an ex- pression of bis own sentiments—oh, no, by no means—but as those of George. Hus explanation, | however, fully satisfied the matrop, and ail is | again serene, LET MOTHERS WATOH THEIR DAUGHTERS, | (From the Washington National Republican.) On Saturday afternoon Officers McHenry and Reardon, doing duty at the Baltimore and Ono | Raliroad station, were probably the only inter« ruption between a young girl and a future life of shame. Just before the train for Baltimore lett | the station these policemen noticed a young man | named Peck alight from a carriage tn front of the | depot, with a girl about fifteen years of age, and presented a $10 bill to the hack driver. On recetv- ing the change be passed it to his iemale com- panion—whose name is known, but withheld ot account of her tamuy—who appeared undecide whether to accept it or not, but finally diaso, They then entered the depot, where he purchased.two tickets for Baltimore, at the same ume showing convincing evidence that he was partially drunk, and the giri’s actions indicated that she accompanied him witn reluctance. Sbe was young, geste prepossessing in appearanc | and belonged to a respectable family on Capi | Hill, ana the oMicers suspected there was some- thing wrong transpiring or their conduct would ifferent, they knowing the girl and where she | belonged. Determined to satisfy themseives, they | watched an opportunity and gained a conversation with her, when they learned that Peck was | almost @ total stranger, and that he had induced | her to accompany him to Battimore, saying tnas they would return in tne evening. he acknowl- | edged that her parents knew nothing of her ine | tended departure with the man, and would not permit it ifthey knew. When informed by the, officers that the trip might terminate tn her down- fail, and that Peck was not in @ condition to ap- Ppreciate a respectable lady’s company, and using | the more powerful argument that they should i quaint her parents with she fact of her ce ae | immediately changed her mind and resolved to re- | turn home. Peck swore roundly for a time, but finally lett the railroad station. POST .
