Another Dull Stock Market— Prices Irregular. A SUGGESTIVE BANK STATEMENT. Gold Dull at 1131-8 a 113—Money on Call 6 and 7 Per Cent—Government Bonds Weak and Railway Securities Barely Steady, Wau. Street, } Friar, Dec. 24-6 P, 'M. Under the present aspect of the Stock Exchange the writer of a money article is very much under the same conditions as the theatrical critio who essays to ex- press something new each day on the progress of a drama which bas numbered its hundredth night or more. Actors aud audience are both exhausted, but day by day the play is “billed,” and day by day the critic Is expected to find some fresh feature worthy of comment. Lake Shore has been the play of the past few weeks— @ comedy to some, a tragedy to others. Whether Thalia or Melpomene is to be the winner in the end can best be decided when the curtain falls and the footlights are turned down. As bas been the fushion among members of the Stock Exchange for fifty years back, Christmas Eve was inaugurated at the opening of the board with its usual clamor, din and ‘confusion worse confounded.’’ Tho pagan rites peculiar to and per- haps consonant with the attributes of heathen divinities, bat which have been grafted on the new dispensation by some unaccountable pressure of {mitation, were observed with more zest than coyld reasonably bave been expected under the depressing circumstunces which control things financial The wuling pussion of stock gambling yielded for the time do tho influence of hilarity, but drums and horns. scemed to exert their influence, for prices gave way In the ond under the general fanfare us did the walls of Jericho when prostrated by the seven trumpets of Joshua, ‘The whole market, led by Lake Shore, offered @ dismal contrast in its weakness to the strength of yesterday—an acrobatic entertainment which showed an equal aptitude to turn upside down as to stand up. right, if circumstances so willed It. The favorite early betrayed an inclination to decline from the closing figures mado last evening, an inclination partially due 1o the fact that the short gellers, both groat and small, bad toa very great degree been frightened into cover- ‘ing their contracts, and the market was accordingly Joft without buyers, A report wired from Philadelphia that the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad would probably reduce if ‘not pass the coming dividend had also a depressing effect upon dealings, Western Union next to Lake Shore attracted most attention in the half-holiday market, and gradually weakened in price, as if it were half ashamed that its only show for confidence rested on poles and wires and holes in the ground. Quotations for other stocks, else- where noted, will exhibit the monotony in prices and indisposition to trade which invariably characterize dealings on the eve of a great holiday. The prices and the flnctuations were about as follows :— ‘Western Union, 72% a 71% a 72% a 12 Pacific Mail, 39% a 39% a 39%; Lake Shore, 59); a 5834 a 59% a 59; Michigan Central, 50 0 583g a 591s; Northwest, 38% a 88% a 3854; preferred, 553% a 543;; St, Paul, 94% a 88% a 9434; preferred, 6534 a 65; Obio and Mississippi, 16 15% # 1634 a 16; Erie, 15% ® 153g; Central’ and Hadson, 104; Rock Island, 104 a 103% a 10334; Central of Now Jersey, 105 «1044; Unton Pacttle, 72 a 7234; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 120 a 119%, and Hannibal and St. Joseph proferred, 26 a 2634.

Frrvay, Dec. 24—6 P. M,” The recurrence of the Christmas holidays has brought with it the usual cessation of business in most of the wholesale departments in this city, public attention being absorbed by smaller matters about these times. In some quarters the little demand hitherto prevailing has ceased entirely, so that scarcely enough has been done from day to day to establish » market or to afford much idea as to market prices. Merchandise is more gon- erally merely nominal at the present writing than it has been at any préceding time for many months, if not years. Even breadstuffs, in which there bas nearly always been some movement, have been neglecta = caeie at almost any cere toon Prices have been d in @ more marked when prices ure low and “the markets slag. nthe markets are active aud ‘The movement in all the Jooding articles dur- st week has been discou: 8; but a hopeful feelin, fate future, the im m. ti thai ot ingly small. even for | fos with regard to | a. boing "quite general inaugurated eur- hus been known (Priday) business was absolutely noth: in iat commoditi les were in all cases light.
