EVENTS OF THE WEEK Review of the Stock, Gold, Money and Bond Markets. WALL STREET, SUNDAY, Dec, 28, 1874. pulness in the several departments of trade is the rule rathertnan the exception, yet there are not @ few who are disposed to “cross the bridge before they come to it,’ and while conceding the existing depression, to anticipate an early con- dition that is full of activity and hope. Tne reor- ganization of many firms, the adjustment of many financial difficulties, the necessity for the employ- ment o! capital, the recognition of a new basis on which labor contracts are to be made by manu- facturing and other corporations, the reduction in the price of products grown and turned out by machinery, the heavy disbursement of dividends, amounting in Boston, Philadelphia and New York to the estimated sum oO! $150,000,000, to say nothing of dividends at other leading commercial centres; all these are quoted as among the important influ. enves thatare expected to give life to industrial undertakings and aid toour local markets. Not a little actavity 18 looked tor in the cotton, woollen and tron interests ut an early day, and because this activity may be resumed on a nearer ap- proach to a specie basis than heretolore, the feel- ing is somewhat general among those who take a comprehensive view of commercial affairs that more stability will result an¢ that business will be conducted on saler, healthier and sounder princi- ples. THE STOCK MARKET. In the early part of the week the Stock Ex- change was at times the scene of considerable excitement, consequent on the rapid fluctuation of prices and their generally lower tendency. Lake shore, Western Union, Northwest common and Pacific Mail were especially active, and in all of these securitics there were large transactions. Toward the close figures became more irregular and business decreased. Pacific Mail declined trom 36% to 3354, rose to 375, and reached to 36%; Western Union fell off trom 80}, to 7834, with sales stilllower—seller 60, recovering a trife at the end; Lake Shore declined from 79% to 7834, rose to 81, receded to 793, and rallied to 80% at the close; Northwest lost 3% per cent in adecline from 46% to 43, but recovered to 4614 at the close, The remainder of the fluctuations for the week will be shown in the lollowing table :— Highest, Lowest. tral.

While there is @ strong bear party and a short interest | is easily created there are others who express confidence in anearly higher market, and base their prognostications on the fact that the large amount of January interest to be disbursed will, in its endeavor to find a proiitable resting place, naturally seek the stock market, and in purchases at the present low figures will give it unusual strength, It is too early, however, opinions, and, in the face of recent experience, un- safe to say what a day may bring fortn.

There is no change in the belief of those who are operating in the market fora Tise that eventually the price must obey the in- fluences now silently at work, the argument still being that depletion will produce its legitimate effect in making @ stronger undertone whenever a real business demand is established.

COMMERCIAL REPORT. sakurpay, Dec. 26—6 P. M. The trade movement, already very slow, was last week interrupted by the recurrence of the Christmas holidays, and, as usual, the wholesale business of the city was sacrificed to the more urgent demands of the holiday purchases in a*re- tail way. merchandise were dealt in save ina very mod- erate way, and the volume of business was still more circamscribed by the adjournment of all the exchanges from Thursday until Monday, The dry im the way of closing out consignments before the close of the year were freely proffered at all houses in the trade, The hardware business was at a complete stand, while scarcely anything was donein the boot and shoe, drug and other special de- partments. The export movement in breadstuffs was still very moderate, though showing some increase dur- ing the four business days of the week, notwithstanding the fact that both prices and freights were higher. Flour was duil all through, but there was no change in prices. Wheat was in moderate demand, Prices went up,nearly every day, closing quiet. Corn was quiet but firm for both old and new, though the latter subsequently declined somewhat. Oats were steady all the week. Pork was wholly nominal, while other hog meats were dull but unchanged. Lard was in demand and firmer until Thursday, when the “corner” broke and prices tumbled considerably. Cotton showed very little activity during the week and values exhibited no material change, fluctuating slightly. Groceries were generally quict, with sugar in buyers’ favor and coffee strong. Petroleum was in- active all through the week, but was held with consid- erable confidence. Naval stores were also dull and Values most ot the time nominal. On Saturday there Was ho material change in any of the markets. Produce and Cotton exchanges adjourned over until Monday, and the day was generally observed as a hoii- day in all branches of commerce Brxapsturrs AND PRovist ‘he Produce Exchange being closed, there was no movement of consequence in either breadstutls or provisions and values were called nominally steady as last quoted.

THE | MOVEMENT FOR A JOINT SESSION OF THE | BOARDS OF ALDERMEN AND WHAT HAS COME OF IT—THE DEMAND FOR MR. GREEN'S HEAD—GROWING CONFIDENCE IN MAYOR- ELECT WICKHAM—CONDITION OF THE BUILD- ING MARKETS. it 18 not to be expected that the close of the | year should develop much activity in real estate after the protracced duiness from which the mar- | ket Is slowly emerging. It is not a matter of sur- | prise, therefore, that the past week should have | contributed nothing in the way of transactions to | supplement the comments previously made in | this column concerning tue condition of the ex- isting market, Other imfuehees are, however, at work exciting interest in the market and paving the way toa future of more activity. Foremost among these is the agitation jor Mr. Green's | removal. The ultimatum laid down vy the HERALD in the name oi the people that the removal of this oonoxious ofictai should be the one great test-of | Mr. Wickbam’s and Mr. Tilden’s understanding of j the popular verdict of last November and the ciation in real estate circles, There never was | struck a more responsive chord in the breasts of any set of men tian this demand for Andrew H. | Green’s removal has awakened AMONG PROPERTY OWNERS, | Nine-tenths of the shrinkage in values that has | taken place in real estate during the last three years can be traced to bis misshapen policy. Real estate, notwithstanding the panic, has suffered nothing inherently in the popular estimation | of its value in that period; but Mr. Green succeeded in imparting to it a quality of uncerthinty in respect to its use that | practically estopped dealings. Mr. Green went | | into office with a legacy of improvements mainly designed by him and his associates in the Central Park Commission, begun as asystem | by the Tammany rulers, and at iis advent only | imperfectly carried forward, Had Mr. Green then | used his efforts to have that plan of improvement | revised, 80 thatin the spirit of economy whicn | Was supposed to be incarnate in him the genius of 1874 should not regulate the expenditures ot 1871 | or 1872, he would have seen what improvements had already become an encumbrance to property | owners through assessments and nave pushed | them forward to a rapid completion, as also their | extensions and such subsidiary connections as | Others, for which the property owners had not yet | been muicted, might have been allowed to le over, But MR, GREEN, IN HIS AUTOCRATIC D&SIRE TO GOVERN | NEW YORK | as if it were some petty German principality and | quarrelied witn the heads of one of the depart | ments, and hefcetorth anything like intelligent action on the subject of improvements became impossible owing to the bitter hostility aroused. Mr. Green, having come into office | upcn @ wave of popular anxiety concerning the satisfactory disbursements of tbe city’s moneys, undertook to lord it over every de- | partmeut and stop the whole machinery of the | government—that 1s, once having got possession vl the oitice which gave him the control of the city’s expendizure, he reiused to expend lor any- thing that did not suit hia PRIVATE WHIMS, and as nothing could be done that did not suit these whims or the interest of tis “bosom friends” we have a system of improve- ments up town, finished or in progress, with Jess sequence than the Atlaniic and Great | Western Railway, of which it has been said that 1s | began nowhere and ended nowhere. ‘Thus sev- enty-second street, from the Central Park to the ; SUPPLEM | up there was a wound in the iett breas of municipal improvements, including rapid | transit, and will not suiler interruption iu the forwarding of such a pian, witn its crowning re- sult, a8 would Le cercain to ensue irom his con- | tinning in ofice sucha chronic obstructionist as Andrew H. Green. It is to be sincerely hoped that the faith which Mr, Wicktham’s iriends have in bim may ve justified by tis works, The best assurance Le cab give to sceptics of tis desire to | give to the city some adequate project o1 rapid trausit, and so relievewts present throbbing, pent- up Vitality, will be to apply rapid transit tu the Comptrolier's private sanctum and indy rapid transit of that much too presumptuous oMcial to vbe quiet and repose oi private Lie, Mr. Green's head, whether upon & charge or with: out a charge, will be THE BEST NEW YEAR'S GiPT he can give the people ot tuis city In return for the confidence they have reposed in him, ‘There was nothing of (resh interest in the mar- ket last week in respect to new buildings, provements of that character being stopned by the season, Concerning the condition of the mar- | Kets alfected thereby the Heal Helate Record in 13 | ussue Of Saturday says:—Our reports jor the past | week present few features of new or special in- | terest. ‘The close of the year alWays Las a qmetng | effect upon trade, and ihe wintry season opposes a very effective obstacle to building enterprises, We have noticed of late, in our intercourse with the mauuiacturers aud dealers connected with THE BUILDING MARKETS, Jess complaint of the character and course of trade, wuence we infer that busiiess, on the whole, has bot been of the worst cuaracter, and that @ fair suare O1 profit has veen returned for the years iabor, lideed, tn more tuan one instance, we have met with such assurance, and wile there are doubtless instances where | almost irreparaole loss and damage have been sus: | tained, there 1s food reason to believe that caution | bas been generally pracused, anc that enterprise | and speculatiou have not been pressed beyond the limit which the warnings of the year prescribe. Tae financial topic is ql @ leading subject jor dis- cussion 1p the aiferefit branches 01 trade, and tne Sentiment 19 a, parently unanimous vat define | action should be tuken at once.

Thomas Corr, the man who was shot on the | premises of aGerman baker, at the intersection | ol Schenectady avenue and Union street, East New | York, last Saturday night, died at the City Hospital at four o’clock yesterday morning. Christian Ecks, | aged seventy-two years, who shot the deceased, is | now in custody. Ecks claims that Corr was about | to Steal his chickens trom the hemcoop, and that | such a robbery was common in thatmeighborhood, | Coroner Jones, while speaking toa HeraLp re- | porter of the occurrence, said:—I received a tele- | | graphic despatch at one o’clack yesterday morning trom the police summoning me to the hospital. On entering tne surgical Ward 1 jound the wounded man in a collapsed condition, with a wound tn | his lett arm, taking away a large portion ot the biceps muscle and cutting it almost as clean as | though wu gouge had been ploughed through it, Rignt in a line with part of the arto when held | » hear the nipple. He did not complain of any pain, but was | unable to move nis iegs. He seemed to have an idea that they were removed from his body. After the priest bad administered the consolations of | the Church a physician introdaced me as Dr. | Jones. { tuld the wounded man that [ was the | Coroner, and [ asked him ts name. ie told me | that Is Dame was ‘homas Corr, and he pro- noun the name distinctly, I said to nim, “Corr, you are dangerously wounded und ure likely to | die, What tuink you of yourseli’” He replied, “Tam dying, sir.’ 1 suid, “Keep up your courage— courage 18 Nall the battle. You may recover.’ “No, no,’ said he, “my feet and legs are dead now.” “Have you no hopey’ I asked, and | he said. “No, no; I am dying.” “Would you | like to muke @ statement as to how you were | wounded?” | asked, and he answered, “Yes.” I told him if he had been woundea that way, and they had done it without cause it was his duty to have them punished, and | told him he would have to.| make & Voluntary statement of the shvoting. He rephed, ‘I will tell all 1 know.” | Corr then said:—“I went to look alter some cows and pigs, apd while I was there @ man came out and said to me, ‘fll snoot you.’ At that he up with his gun and firea at me, and shot me, At the first shot he Knocked me down. When he first spoke to mel told him I was looking itor the pigs and cows. I[ | have been there before. 1 Was looking for Mr, | Lansing’s cows and pigs. Ido not know nis first name. “1 did not have sny gun or pistol with me. | | Laid not threaten nim, nor did [ | with me to do mm any sent me after his cows, The man who, shot me did not tell me _ to ‘clear | out.’ He stood close to me when he shot me with | the gun. Shere wus no one eise present but the | man who shot me and myself. Ilive in Flatoush, | near the Poor House and tne Mad House. I have | heard this statement read and 1t is true, and you | are the Corouer.”” | ‘The man was so exhausted that it took him three-quarters of an hour to make the above | statement. A Warraut was issued thereupon by | Voroner Jones tor Ecks’ arrest and was duly exe- | cuted, ‘he prisoner was locked up at the Iwelith | precinct station house. A son o! Mr. Lansing said | deceased bad no business looking tor pigs and | cows where he was shot. ihe inquest will be com- | menced on Tuesday next. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. fave anything | harm, Mr. Lansing Riverside Park 18 completed, but practically use- leas, imasmuch as the latter park, to which | it Was to be the grand entrance, is yet | in very inchoate condition, | a imperfect, although, like Morningside Park, paid tor vy ad- jacent property owners. And just here it is worth While to puint out another injustice that real es- tate men complain of, and to which Mr. Green 1s | a contributing party. Land taken for pablic | parks 1s ordinarily assessed not 89 much upon its then actual value as upon the prospective value of surrounding property alter it has been dedi- cated to park uses, There is a sense of liberal justice {n this that bears very hardly upon the owners of such surrounding property wien the | thus, take MORNINGSIDE PARK, FOR INSTANCE. The land taken lor this park was assessed, not | { upon its value in the absence of any such projected improvement as a park in that neighborhood, but | upon the value Which it was anticipared adjoimiug property would reach when such improvement, to jorward which this property would have to be taken out of the market, was completed, Adjacent property owners would be slow to complain of the injustice of such awards if the improvement were quickly pushed forward, so that they might | reap its advantage. But when this 18 not done and they are compelled to pay increased assess- | ments and taxes upon a higher valuation conse- | quent upon that wuich does not exist and is only | expectapt, they naturally begin to complain. | ‘Ynis 18 one Of the reasons of their desire for Mr. | Green’s removal. The Boulevard, Sixth and Sev- | enth avenues and St. Nicholas avenue are all com- pleted and fine roads, but except as through | drives to Westchester county ‘rom the Central Park they are practically aseless, inasmuch as the | cross streets have never been opened, and ingress | or egréss to or trom them is well nigh impossib! except at eachend. ‘Tenth avenue Is finished ror two miles above 155th street, without a single outlet irom it, You enter at 155th street and drive that distance, and you have to turn | round and come back again i! you want to get out of the avenue. ‘I'he owners of property near | ‘Tenth avenue and High Bridge have been assessed | also jor a square to be called High Bridge Park, | and complaint is made that nothing has been done | of the same by the Park Com- missioners to @ Mr, Schedier lor $2,500 per year, to ve expended by him on the grounds at his dis- which discretion is further said to bave no visible results, These are only some of the many reminders up town of tne wretched mal- administration that has marked the government of this city during the incumbency of Andrew H. Green in the office of Comptroller, and tor which he, quite as much from innate lack of understand- ing of the duties and responsibilities of his ofice and narrow intellectual grasp as irom his bitter | quarrel with Mr. Van Nort, is mainly responsible, ‘True THE RESPONSIBILITY IS A DIVIDED ONE. The late Mayor was in @ measure responsible in that he did not remove Green. The last Legisla- ture was partly responsible in that 1t did not legislate him out of office, and the people were | responsible so long as they hesitated to set the | seal of their condemnation upon him. ‘this they did in the last election, They relieved themselves, and the responsibility now rests with Mr. Wick- ham. The movement among the real estate men, noticed jast Monday in the HERALD, having for i Joint session of the two Boards of Aldermen, as now constituted, to hear an argument in Javor of an ordinance providing for an enlightened system of public im) prove. | suc! progress that the Boards bave expressed their willingness to meet together for this purpose on next Thursday. lt is doubtiul, however, ti the | matter will be urged further. THE FRIENDS OF MR, WICKHAM, with much justice, argue that such a meeting, ‘With 118 desired result, Would be an expression of want of coniidence in the imcowing admuinistra- tion, and especially in Mayor Wickham nimself, that is wholly uncalled jor, and would be, in lact, inuehicate, in view of Mr, Wickham’s hitherto p vate record a8 @ Merchant and the plain trusts he accepted with his ht eb gf him: selt to their discharge it ected, Upon such promise he was elected. His iriends, therefore, and with great show of reason, claim now that it would be worse than gross discourtesy to give | trust In his honesty when he made these pledges, or his manhood, now that he ts called upon for their fulfilment. Respecting the head of Andrew A. Green they say nothing, as ‘might be ex- pected, but they point to the earnest in- vestigation Mr. Wickham has made since nis election of the uptown district as LF al that he comurchends the vajug ol & comprehensivg pian MARRIED CUMMINGS—HAVILAND.—At Hudson, N.
