Lord Brougham has observed thay between the Bges of eighteen and thirty months a child learns more of the material world, of his own powers, of je Dature o! other bodies, and even of his own mind and otuer minds, than he acquires in all the reatof bisitfe. The knowledge which a child | accumulates, and the ideas generated in his mind | during this period, are so itmportant that i we could imagine them to be afterwards obliterated, all the learning vu} a senior wrangler at Cambridge, or @ Orst class nan at Oxiord, would be as nothing to it, and would literally not ‘enable its object to prolong tts existence fora week, Jean Paul | Richter has said, too, “Every new educator effects Jess than his predecessor, until, at last, if we regard ait lve as ap educational institution, a circumnay- lgator of the worid is less Influenced by all the nations he has seen than by his nurse.” THE COURTS.

CIAL AND COMMERCIAL Encouraging Business Signs---T Events of the Week, THE MOVEMENT IN GOLD. Government, Railroad and South- ern Bonds. THE STOOK MARKET REVIEWED. Wat. STREET, } Sunpay, Dec. 13, 1874, A review of the financial and commercial events of the past week furnishes no reason to modily the eucouraging expressions concerning the future of business that have recently found utterance in this column, From nearly all trade circles there come reports of a better feeling and some improve- ment, the chief drawback and disturbing element being the existing doubt with reference to the currency question and the changeable price of gold. While the latter may be caused to fuctuate from week to week by mere reports irom Washington, there is not likely to be much stability in either calculations or results. Business: may therefore reflect the uncertainty that mast attach to the value of currency as long as the question of specie resumption remains un- settled. Itis, however, generally believed among those who are best advised in the matter that Congress will not, during the present session, Teach a solution of the problem, ana hence. that merchants need not be deterred in making their usual ventures, IN LOCAL TRADE we have reports that shipments to the interior are increasing, and that surplus stocks of goods | are being rapidiy worked of at moderate prices. Jn the dry goods trade it is espectally ob- served that @ steadier undertone prevails than heretofore, aud that tne fact {ts more or less due to the apparent determination of buyers to limit their purchases only to actual requirements, thus at once narrowing down the possibilities of loss and increasing the probabill- ties of reasonable profit. Taking a broad sarvey of the commercial situation, a fair business ts ex. pected for the coming season. The chiel interest of the week in financial cir- cles hag attached to the movements of both goid and currency and the effect likely to be produced by an expected unfavorable BANK STATEMENT. It will be seen, however, that the latter did not show the large reauction im the reserve that was anticipated. Hence the feverishness superin- duced has in a measure subsided. The statement is republished for the convenience of to-day’s reaaers, The following is a comparison of the bank averages for the past two weeks:— Dec, 5, Dec, 12.

The conditions of profit are, therefore, noted as much better than in 1873, when the setot causes that proauced the present depression were most actively at work. Stili, it is true of both England and America that the influences of cheap food and cheap raw material must have time to operate before their effects sre decidedly apparent in the general aspects of trade and the usual vuel- ness statistics, THE MONEY MARKET. Money begins to show unmistakable symptoms of stiffeping rates, and the assertion ia confi. dently made that before the end of the year wo shali witness higher and steadier prices. During | the greater part of the week the market was easy at 3 and 4 per cent for call loans, but at the close was frm at 5, with exceptional transactions a8 bigh as 6 per cent. The in- fluence of the bank statement nas not been in- considerable in producing this effect. The out. flow of currency from this point, however, has been somewhat checked. A firmer feeling, with an upward tendency in rates, is also observable in the discount market, Dry goods paper sells at 6 @ 634 for sixty days and 6} @ 7 per cent for four months, jor double named; sin- gle named 63 a 7 for sixty days and 7 a 9 jor four months, Grocery paper is 53 a@ 6 per cent for double named mxty days, and 6 a 634 for four months; single named is 6 per cent for sixty days, and 646% for tour months. The above rates are for prime grades, In foreign exchange business was dull and prices weaker until near the close, when actual business was nearly up to the basis of the nominal quota- tions that have ruled for several days, viz. :—4.85 3¢ for long and 4.9414 for demand sterling. It 1s to be noted that the tmporters bought sparingly. The foreign exports of the port for the week were as follows:—General merchandise imports, including dry goods, $5,531,358; produce ex- Ports, $4,103,014, und specie exports, $2,774,900. The total. merchandise imports, including dry goous, since January 1 this year are $370,677,886, against $371,074,276 last year, und $407,427,775 in 1872. The total exports of prod- uce since January 1, this year, are $269,321,960 against $282,349,100 last year and $221,245,149 in 1872. The total exports of specie since January 1 are $64,786,833, against $46,732,116 jast year and $68,081,717 1u 1872, THE MOVEMENT IN GOLD was erratic, and yet not surprising to those who are behind the scenes. Early in the week tne price declined to 11034, the result being ascribed to large speculative sales, but reaction tollowed, consequent upon the heavy exportations wnich continue, and at the close che price again reaclied 11%. The ‘reasury patd out during the week $8,000,000 it redemption of five-twenty, bonds, $465,000 for interest and sold $500,000 gold.

Railroad bonds have been in good demand at | pri steady or advancing prices and the general ten- | dency 1s toward an increased confidence in the bonds of ali companies which are believed to be | a@ble to pay their interest regularly. The new | bonds of the Central Ratiroad of New Jersey and | tne Central Pacific gold sixes on the San Jvaquin Valley bonds, and the first mortgage gold sixes of | the Califormia and Oregon, indorsed by Central Pacific, have this week been placed on the call of the Stock Excnapge. Mr. Devereux, President of the Atlantic and Great Western Rauway, bas been appointed receiver of that road on the application of the first mortgage trustees. * | THE STOCK MARKET. The speculation iw stocks, which in the begin- | ning of the week was Jairly active, at the end was | Marked by duiness, without however such a de- cline as might have been expected from the inpfu- ences that were at work, Tne most active stock was Pacific Mail, whicn fell off trom 413 to 39, but subsequently recovered, amid lively dealings, to 4034 and 39%. Papama advanced from 114 to 116} on the declaration of the % per cent dividend. Western Union, after numerous fluctuations, rose to 83}, but closed lower.

If HAS BEEN TRUTHFULLY OBSERVED that there ig at the present time nothing like the opportunity that formerly offered to obtain profit trom rapid or wide fuctuations. The public have become cautions, the operation of pools 18 less ambitious in character and results, and the gauge of resi valuesis being more generally appliea to stocks of ali kinds. There are those who believe that with the approaching improvement in busi- ness circles the lower priced securities will take a fresh start because they look cheap, suffered trom a large decline, bave not yet re- | covered what they lost io the depression of the panic, and are regarded as offering a broad mar- gin for improvement. It ts, perhaps, for this reason that there fas been of jate a good deal of investment 10 this class Of securities by those Who have the money and the patience to walt.

SATURDAY, Dec, 12—6 P, M. The trade Movement was erratic all through the week last past, the fluctuations of gold being the principal disturbing element, while the probabill- ties of a still lower ruling of the gold premium as @ consequence of possible Congressional legisla- tion tended to preventa iree movement of mer- chandise, even though the situation of mercantile matters was favorable, which was not the case, As the holiday season draws on merchants in many departments are kept busy taking an ac: count of stock; but actual business trans- acions are neither as numerous nor as large as they might be, and yet business be but moderate. The export movement in breadstufls, &c., was slow all througn the week and the frequent changes were generally tn buy- er’s favor, Flour ruled dull and heavy, though there were no radical changes) Wheat was quiet and some- what irregular, but ou the whole pretty drm, all kinds being rather better than they were a week eariter.

BUILDING OPERATIONS UP TOWM Are We to Have a New DepartureP Proposed Extensive Sale of City Property by Order of Comptroller Green, for Un- paid Assessments Due on Improvements, The subject of real estate values in this city one which can never fail to be of interest toa ver# large proportion of our people, many of whom fin in this class of investment the surest road ta wealth and ease. While the owners of other des scriptions of property are daily exercisea by the changeful influence that operates upon the street, producing from time to time wide fluctuationsy the owner of real property has in his possession a guarantee of stability, an jurance of ultimate advantage, which but few other descriptions of property furnish, It ts not surprising, then, to note that a period of general depression im trade, of serious commercial embarrassment, of widespread disaster and such severe shock to the general credit of the people has been tided over 10 the realestate market, not only without panicy bat without any serious loss of confidence. It tg true there has been much liquidation, many FORCED SALES, in which the owner of property was compellea tdy sacrifice it in order to meet accrued and accruing® Habilines. This is but a natural result of thet abundant faith which men have in the safety off real estate investment, that they are led readily’ to discount its future appreciation without sufi- cient consideration of their own ability to meet the chances of some sudden arrest of this upward movement. Legal sales, whether in foreciosure of otherwise, have been the feature of the past year’a business, and even for tne current week we have offerings in this city of twenty-nine parcels to be disposed of under legal authority. This process of settlement, which has been in progressnow for a long time, must have nearly resulted in eluminatw ing from among the holders of real estate weal men, who are always a source of danger to the support of values in city property, alike because of the ever present ghance of their being sold out, as well as of their inability to forward improvec ments, With REAL ESTATE IN THE HANDS OF MEN FINANCIALLY SOUND, and who are able to meet the ordinary-chargem upon such property in the way of taxés and ase sessments, promptly, it only needs a government of ordinary ability and purpose to push Jorward improvements. The market certainly does scem to take hope from tne prospect of a new adminis- tration in city affairs ulter January 1; that there will be @ revival of activity im respect to such im- provements that will restore to real estat: some< thing like its old preierence as an investment.
