DECLINE IN STOCKS.’ The Money and Gold Markets— Exports and Imports, WALL STREET, } SUNDAY, Dec, 20, 1874. The commercial situation of the week, as de- ecribed in trade circles, does not present any new encouraging features, Business bas been re- stricted and results comparatively unsatisfactory. ‘The course of values has been likewise irregular, if Not spasmodic, but perhaps not more go. than was generally expected by our merchants, Whatever retards the free movement of our great staples, ‘whether it be large local accumulation or @ decline in price, naturally affects trade and must continue ‘to dO 80 until the adverse influences are removed, It ts a noteworthy fact that the Cotton Exchange during the fatter part of the week was subject to an excitement similar to that which prevailed in the Stock Exchange, and a strong bear tendency ‘was developed, Well injormed operators state that this effect was produced by the discovery of an alleged mistake in the calculations of the Agricul- tural Bureau, which fixed the crop at a lower ‘Ogure than that o! last year, and that the publica- tion of revised estimates caused the break which at ‘one time on Saturday produced almost a panick- | like fecling. Brokers sold short, and in many | instances reaped handsome profits. On the one hand it is claimed that the crop will not exceed, even if it reaches, the umourtof last year; on the other, that it will bein excess some 200,000 bales, Between these antagonistic opinions a sharp speculative feeling has been generated, with the result above described, THE EVENTS IN WALL STREET were likewlse productive of great excitement and considerable depression, Early in the week speculation was Gull and tue volume of business small. Later, however, on the development of a strong bear element, speculation bécame fever- ish, and the deciine ranged irom 1 to 8% established yesterday. The stock © most successfully hammered was Wabash, which re- ceded from 29% to 25 on rumors that the com- Dany would default on its next interest, Subse- quently, as has been already narrated, a broker, baving bought trom 15,000 to 20,000 shares, was unable to meet his engagement, and, in the sales “under the rule” of his stock, it broke to 21%. | Iv rallied to 24% after the failure, but again weak- | enea and closed at 22%, On the 1st of tne month the price was quoted at 82%. Northwest common also yielded to the decline and went off on large Bales Irom 4734 to 4334, the preferred stock losing | 234 per cent, St, Paul common broke from 38% to 85%, but the loss on the preierred stock was only % per cent. Ohio and Mississippi fell from 3114 to 2934. Pacific Mail was 8 central teature of interest during the entire week in con- sequence of the subsidy investigation in progress at Washington, and yesterday telt the influence of the reported loss of the steamspip Japan. It Feacted at the close, however, after selling down 10 86%. The other extreme of the week was 39%. ‘Western Union, after a display of firmness, yielded | from 82% to 81%, closing at 82, Lake Shore de- clined irom 80% to 79; Union Pacific from 35% to 34, and Hannibal and St.Josepn common from 2614 to 24%. Michigan Central lost 2% per cent. The gains of the week were trifing and chiefly felt in New York Central ana Adams Express.

Beyond @ hardening tendency as the result of the recent outfow of currency from this point, and the reduction tn the legal reserve of the banks, there were no important changes tm this department, Money was more active and the rates on Call loans advanced from 8 to 5 per cent, the bulk of "the business being done at the intermediate figure. Government bond dealers were supplied at 8 and 4 per cent. Oommercial Daper is Ormer, and more carefully scrutinized than usual. Double named dry goods paper has been taken at 6a 734 pet cent for short dates and 7&8 per cent for long dates; and single named at 644 @ 7 per cent lor short, and 7 @ 10 per cent for long dates, Miscellaneous dry goods paper, which does not rank either as prime or good, has been discounted at 12to18 per cent, Grocery paper Dasses at 647 per cent for double named and 6% 8 per cent for single named, that is of the better Class of names; other grocery paper is taken at 40@15 percent, ‘The nominal rates of exchango,| Rave remained during the last two weeks at 4.853; & 490%, but actual business has been done on the baste of 4.84 a 4.843¢ for good bankers’ sixty days, Sterling, and 4.8434 04.84% for prime. Demand for sterling was steady at 4.89% a 4.90 for actual transactions, ‘THE BANK STATEMENT. The bank statement shows a reduction in total Teserve of $2137,900, and a reduction in liabilities of $2,700,000. The banks now hold tn lawful money $7,624,250 above the legal requirement, against $9,087,100 so held last week. The following isa comparison of the averages of the past two weeks :— Dec, 12. Deo.1.

GOLD, The extremes of the week were 111% ana 111%, the close being made at 111%. But for the poverty of speculators in this “commodity”? the large ship. ments of coin that have recently been made would have been seized upon as a cause for a bull cam- paign. ‘This continued drain must eventually tell upon the commerce of the country, for it is @ pro- cess of spending more than we earn, of depleting ourselves to pay for our exiravagance, and of settling accounts in specie that ought, under bealthful conditions, to be cancelled by our trade in tne great staples. It is a significant fact that the total exports of specie since January 1 are $58,381,468, against $47,148,057 last year, and $68,570,009 in 1872. This shows an increase of mearly $11,000,000 against us this year, which may be sately set down to the damage our credit has suffered abroad from the failure of Congress to even initiate any measure looking wo specie re- sumption, 64,602,000 53,926,950 462,850 FOREIGN COMMERCE, The foreign commerce of the port for the week ‘was as follows:—General merchandise imports, including dry goods, $6,711,774; produce exports, $6,541,813, and specie exports, $2,849,335. The total merchandise imports, including dry goods, since January 1, this year, are $377,389,660, against $376,983,227 last year, and $414,339, 850 in 1872, The total exports of produce since January 1 are $275,863,773, against $287,725,024 last year, and | $225,590,047 in 1872. 5 GOVERNMENT BONDS. These were active on an advance of trom 1 to 1% per cent, and have been purchased by banks, insurance companies and permanent investors, It ts estimated that fully $10,000,000 have recently been sold here on foreign account in consequence of the better prices that are paid on this side—a fact that may have more or Jess bearing on our export of gold. Closing prices of securities in London have been as tollows:— Dec, 4 Dec, 11. Dee, 18, U. 8. 6's, 5-207 106% 106% U. 8. 68, 5-20" 10934 106% U. 8. 5°8, 10-40 10834 104 New 98...... 103 103 SOUTHERN BONDS, The principal activity in these has been expe- rienced in Tennessees and Missouris, the former advaneing on the announcement that interest woula be paid on the 1st prox. Georgias and Alabamas were also firm. Several of the Southern States are now engaged in the adjustment of their respective public debts, and when concluded these securities may once more become attractive to investors. RAILROAD BONDS have been 1n good demand, and prices, especially of the older issues, were well maintamed. Our daily reports have indicatea the changes. Atter the disbursement of the January dividends, when @ large amount of surplus capital will be thrown Upon the market, it is believea that investors will more largely seek this favorite clags of securities, and thus give them additional strength.

SaTURDAy, Dec. 19—6 P, M. The “old, old story” repeats itself with the lapse of every succeeding week, and as the holl- day season approaches the shrinkage of business in merchandise becomes more and more appar- ent in almost every department, saving tnose commodities which are expressly adapted for the holidays, and which are generally regarded as pertaining in some way never yet expiaiued to “good St. Nick.’ The wholesale trade of this city | has been exceptionally quiet during the past sev- | eral weeks, and last week was even more so than usual, The fluctuations of the gold pre mium, coupled with the political revyolu- tion «of last fall and the Congressional legislation likely sooner or later to result from it combine to intensify the commercial depression which bas existed go long, and the widespread inertia in mercantile circles is mainly attributable thereto. Merchandise is exceedingly sensitive, and any probable action which will be likely to affect it often- times exerts a baneful influence in business circles long betore itis taken. During the fast week business was very circumscribed, scarcely any of the leading articles of merchandise selling with any freedom, Many changes in firms are contemplated for the incoming year, while many are taxing account of stock and in other ways making preparation for &@ new departure with the first of the fnew year, The retail trade of the city, on the contrary, ‘was scarcely ever more active, tis a noteworthy fact, however, that prices, as @ rule, are as reasonable as could be expected. The dry goods market was very quiet all turough the last week, whue the nardware business was at an almost complete stand. Boots and shoes were also inactive. On 'Change there was unu- sual gutetude. Flour was dull and declining all through the week. Wheat was inactive, but there was no dispo- sition to press gales, the money market being easy and money ubusually plenty, so that there was no radical decline in prices.

A JUST SENTENCE AND A VICTORY FOR BERGH. A case of cruelty toa horse came before Juage Riley, of the Third District Court, in Brooklyn, on Saturday, which presented features not only of an utter lack of the simple element of human- ity, but of a.aetermination to disregard the laws |, yi of the State. It appeared that one of Bergh’s om- cers, On the preceding day, discovered a man driving @ horse which had a large sore on his shoulder, which was being rendered worse by the constant chafing of the collar. The driver, after considerable difficulty, was arrested. Upon the trial it was shown that he was not the owner of the horse, but was hired by @ man who also made his appearance im Oourt, backed by @ lawyer. ‘The driver was piaced upon the stand, and, according to his own evidence, he arrested for the been provioasly me offence and fined $5, which the owner of the horse paid, and sentenced to five days’ im- prisonment in the Raymond Street Jail. As soon as he was released the owner again piaced him in charge of the borse, knowing that he was una for service. Upon the conclusion of the evidence the Judge-discharged the employé and arraigned the owner, to whom he administered some whoie- some advice. He told bim that he would fine him $25 for this offence, and that he wouid stand committed until the fine was paid. “And now,'! sald the Judge, “if you allow that horse to driven again before he is perfectly cured I wiil send you to the Penitentiary for six months.” I¢ may be proper to mention that both the sentence and the admonition were received with great sat- istaction by @ crowded court room, the most of the persons having been drawn thither to witness tne Holy Land lecturer James’ abandonment suit, AN AFFRAY, They were both drunk, Patrick and Ann Farrell, husband and wile, Outside of No, 508 East Four teenth street, at noon yesterday the snow was falling; also, occasionally a telegraph pole or an awning. The snow silenced everything on the street. Inside the house Patrick and Ann were falling to; likewise the crockery. The sounds of strife from the apartments of the Farrels hushed all other things in the interior. Pat was mad. Ann was maddening him. She would talk, He strove to repress himself. Yet who can withstand the staboing of a woman’s topgue. Pat bit his lip, and looking out of & window saw. the snow, which is called by the thoughtless “beautuul” and “innocent.” It was evil in its effect. It associated itself in his mind with a spotiess shroud. Why not let it weave @snroud tor Ann? This was the thought that flashed into Pat’s brain. He adopted the sug- gestion, He went for Ann threateningly. She Jorgot to jibe longer, and only sought ior salety | from him, When he was approaching her, and there was no other way to evade him, she threw up the window sash, stood jor a moment on the ledge and then jumped through s} She struck the pavement hard, and her leit was fractured just above the ankle.
