FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Wnion Pacific the Feature of the Day—A De- cision from the Supreme Court—The Bemainder of the Market Heavy. GOLD STEADY AT 1145-8. Bag Paper 87.24—Money on Call 4 and 5 Per Cent—Government and Railway Bonds Firm, Wat Sraesr, Mowpay, Nov. 29, 1875. On the Stock Exchange to-day the event of chief in- Gerest was the receipt of the reported confirmation by Qhe Supreme Court of the decision of the Court of Claims, rendered last May in the case of the Union Pa- cific Railroad Company vs. The Government. As this case has been unduly magnified, as affecting the value of the securities of the railroad, it is now in order to briefly recite the facts, The railroad company is largely arrears to the government for interest paid upon the currency sixes which were loaned to the company to aidin building the road. The contract between the government and the railroad stipulated that one-half of the pay for service performed by tho railroad for the goverment should be retained as part payment of the fmterest for which the government was liable on its bonds. Some time ago the Treasury Department un- fertook to retain the whole of such sum, giving the railroad eredit in account for the same. For Bhis one-half thus retained the railroad brought bait in the Court of Claims and on the Sist ef May, 1875, recovered judgment for the pum of $512,632 50. This judgment has now been gonfirmed by the court of last resort, The full effect pon the railroad company is to put it in present funds for the amount which the government has heretofore wetained over and above the one-half duc for service which it has a right to retain, and in the future—ac- eepting the past as a criterion of the government busi- Bess—the company will receive about $450,000 per an- Bum im cash from the government for services per- formed instead of nothing, as for the past eighteen months. It will be observed that this sum of $450,000 4s just one and a quarter per cent on the capital stock of thecompany. The decision does not affect the just Gebt which is steadily accruing in favor of the govern. ment against the company, nor the claim of the gov- eroment for five per cent each year of the net earn- Ings of the company to be paid on account of such Indebtedness, in addition to the one-half of the amount | ue fer service, which is still to be retained. THE STOCK MARKET. The sweets in to-day’s prize packages, in confection- er’s parlance, were decidedly mixed, and Jay Gould specialties at the close of the market were strong and buoyant, while other fancies were weak and deciining. ‘There were quite as many lemon drops as lollipops in the assortment. The entire paraphernalia of the Union Pacific laundry, with an additional supply of soap and ‘water to meet an increased demand, was set going early inthe day and the most experienced washer- ‘woman of the establishment controlled operations. ‘The instructions were, ‘Keep her as she goes—nothing off—and ‘dreadnaught.’ ”” Up to one o'clock business generally was at a stand- Btill, and brokers lounged listiessly about waiting for the promised verdict in the great case of Union Pacific Railroad Company vs. Uncle Sam. The price of the stock had meanwhile been gradually washed up with Mmited transactions from its starting point at 744% to 78 Atthis moment the decision was announced as Deing on every point, and by a unanimous vote of the Judges, in favor of the company. It having been argued | that an unfavorable decision would revive recollections of a favorite opéra bouffe—in a word, that it would play “Old Hob” (or even a term of more Intense calorific quality) with the market, many per- pons imagined that a contrary effect would be the re- ult of a contrary verdict. Beyond, however, a gen- erally increased activity and a decided upward spart in Pacific Mail, from reasons of affinity, the effect was not | remarkable. Indeed, in tho case of such stocks as Michigan Central, Lake Shore and St. Paul, their pourse was directly opposite, and the laugh among | bolders, if they saw any laugh in the matter, was de- eidediy ‘‘on the wrong side of the mouth.” Michigan Central fell off nearly three points on the rumor that @amaging reports as to the condition of the road— Reports which go so far as to declare its inability to warn even the interest on its bonds—would appear in do-morrow’s papers, backed up by facts and figures. Phis story, it is fair to say, comes from Boston, and may be simply the result of some indigestible fish ball partaken of at the Sunday breakfast table. Mr. Maynard and the sealskin coat both kicked up a flust in the Lake Shore circus to-day, and there oc- yurred quite a spirited Graco-thingamabob wrestling | match between them. He of the motley got the 4 Ninth National, 80; Phoenix, 100%; R Ne, 85, better of the encounter and plastered his pntégonist with stock as skilfully as be does his own countenance with bismuth. But the young operator, it is said, aspires to control the road, and to do so must acquire stock. He is acquiring it. St. Paul was weak, with a decided tendency to lower figures. Nothing particular seemed to be known of the feasons why. A vague report was circulated that its affairs in the courts were not having the “good deliver- ance” that had been extended to its sister road. Chaff Ing bears renewed their sarcastic but venerable growl of, “B(u)y St. Paul, the work goes bravely on,’ and @ucked their paws joyously at the quiddity. Beyond breaking an uptown savings bank of about a one-pony power prominence the rumor committee to- Gay permitted the rest of our banking institutions to exist until their noxt meeting. In regard to the above {institution it is only justice to say that the writer, passing by it iate in the afternoon, noticed a placard in B window to the effect that the bank would be open from six to ten o'clock P.M. There were no signs ofa van or of excitement of any kind, and the only crowd qssembled were Bridget and her cousin, who were peer- ang into the windows with as fow signs of trepidation on therr faces as could be well desired. ‘The opening, intermediate and closing prices were as follows:—Western Union, 76% a 76% a 75%; Lake Shore, 62% a 61% & 62% a 61%; Erie, 16% 8 163; Northwest, 39}g @ 39; preferred, 54); a 54; Michigan Central, 643¢ 0 62)4 63 a 61}; St. Paul, 361; 0 35% ; preferred, 66% a 65% ; Obio and Mississippi, 1875 » 18% @ 18% a 18%; Pacific of Missouri, 12 «13; Bannibal and St. Joseph, 22%¢ a 22% ; preferred, 29% a 30%; Union Pacific, 7434 a 7554 a 74% @ 7836 a Thea 19%; Rock Island, 10534 a 105%.

Investors having made a discrimination between the bonds issued by the city of Cincinnati for the construc tion of the Soathern Railroad and other issues of that city, itis fact worthy of record that the Supreme Court of Ohio have recently published a decision that these bonds were not issued in aid of any railroad enterprise, but are city bonds for the construction of an improvement owned by the city, and that no special tax levy for the payment of the interest on them need be made, but that the general tax levy must include the amount necessary for the payment of interest on ali bonds, including these. The Court thus reaffirms the validity of the bonds im question, and places them on an equal footing with the other bonded indebtedness of the city. The following are street ramors:— 1. That the government is chartering vessels for war purposes. 2. That the Secretary will soon issue another call fer $5,000,000 five twenty bonds of the sinking fund. Arun on one of the uptown savings banks was re- ported, but produced no perceptible effect, The President of the North River Savings Bank says they are moeting all their liabilities, He further states eo deposits of $900,000 and a surplus fund of There will be no sales of Treasury gold ordered for the month of December, the currency balance being large enough to obviate the need of any such sales, which the Secretary says are never ordered for any other purpose than to replenish it With regard to the new Hungarian loan {t is stated from Vienua that the negotiations of the Hungarian government with the leading banking house and syn. dicate are nearly concluded.
