FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, A Review of the Changes in the Stock Market for the Year 1875. A WIDE RANGE OF FIGURES. Mow Speeulaticn Has Been Controlled and What it Has Effected. All the Fancies Lower than in 1874 Except Union Pacific. Pacitie Mail and St. Paul Preterred, Waut Saget, Jan, 2, 1876. Looking upon the year 1875 as a guest that, whether we would or no, was necessarily to be entertained by us for an entire twelvemonth—a guest whose presence was balefal and marked by mistortune to a vast number of people—it is not wonderful that there was great will, Ingness to speed his parting, With greater eager- mess still is manifested the desire to ‘“wel- some the coming guest.” We are all agreed that 1875 was a charlish fellow, whose manners were generally disagreeable and the impress of whose visit was unfavorable, At the risk of flying to evils we | | | further advance to Know not of we welcome the arrival of 1876 with ac- | clamation, We know nothing of his character beyond | such forecast of the future as the sigus of the times permit us to guess at; yet we receive him joyfully, for we trust that he beurs with him the gifts of prosperity and hope. ‘The year just passed, looked upon in a commercial Hight, was probably the most unsatisfactory of any since the panic of 1873. The insidious disease which declared itself at that period was slow in making its -way to the vitals of the great commercial and financial interests of the country, but its course was none the Jess sure and deadly for that reason, So much money had been so easily made in the Saturnalian days of the war, people at large had imperceptibly acquired such Dabits of extravagance and lavish expenditure, that a falso appearance of bealth was given to the body politic Io the eye it ‘was well nourished and robust, but we know now that these were symptoms of the disease, if imaeed, they were not the causes of it, It was hard to believe that the times were really out of joint or thatthe malady was aserious one. lt was a passing ill, digagreeabie, but not dangerous; an ill trusied to be dissipated by the mildest of applications. There was an exhibition of infinitesimals when the treatment should have been beroic, and many a patient dicd a victim to this malpractice. In other words, the com- | munity have never appeared to recognize | the truth of the situation or how deeply seated the trouble really was, and it is only now, as commercial disaster after disaster comes to light, that they appre- | ciate the fact that many a one could have been cured or averted by proper treatment at the early stages of the disease. The belief was thatthe matter could be bided over; credit was to be preserved at all hazards; the usual style of living was to be kept up and expend!- | ‘bure for what our forefathers called lux- uries, but which we erm ecessaries: of life, was persisted in In a word, it was not to be much of a shower after all, So the fab- tic, which, though trembling, might have been shored up and strongthened by retrenchment and prudence, at last succumbs to the wear and tear of untavorable finan- cial weather and comes tumbling. a ruin; to the ground It is a question whether this distasteful matter of an enforced economy—this pocketing of pr.de aud narrow_ Ing down of pleasures—bas not been as mucha source pf mental distress as the absence of money, It is pleasant, but not profitable employment, to burn your candle at both ends; but this is just what the nation bas been doing for the last two years. Should it be a «matter of surprise, then, that things have turned out to be disastrous, and is it fair that we should impute to Provideace or fate a condition of affairs due, in a very great measure, to our own fault? Yet the result can- pot altogether be igoked upon as disastrous. Much good may follow the evil done. The idea may be Wesuitical, but it is just, The year has been one of liquidation and stern econ- omy. Bubbles have been prickea, sham schemes ex- sposed, and debtors (often to their own benefit) forced Muto anexposure of their aflairs. gradual separating of the fraudulent from the true, a winnowing of the wheat from the chaff, and the resuit ssannot be otherwise than beneficial. In fact, the coun- ‘try is beginning to see where it stands, to feel that we gre mearing the solid rock of confidence, reaching which we may safely begin to built anow theedifice of future prospority and wealth, This process of setting our house tn order is probably not compleied yet, bur the greater part of the work is already done, and the ‘end cannot be far off. It would be unwise, however, to hold out the hopes of asudden and complete return to the halcyon days of ‘unlimited greenbacks. ‘The return to prosperity will probably be slow and painful, but the attainment of 4t all the more assured from its baving been swotked out by the sweat of the brows There ‘mo more royal road to lasting wealth than there 1s to earning, and the followers of Adam Smith will Bnd bis path beset with difficulties quite as formidanle as those ‘that meet the follower of Addison Of 1876 great hopes are formed. of the Centennial Exhibition—n uch more, in fear, than will be realized, Still, 1 wil som ‘to mark the upward turn, and, even though it shoula ly Darren of substantial resalts, it will nove the beginning of a hopeful and firmer confiden As for the Stock Exchange, we do not look for a very mpeedy restoration of legitimate speculasion. The whuie establishment has been handed over so completely to gamblers and gambling cliques that the publieavord it as they would a lazaretto, When the members are willing to call out “unclean, unclean,” and are ready to cast ‘out their lepers as they did of old, and when there is Much is expected At, we be @ sarplus of money in the community which can be wpared fora “‘littic game," then, and not i then, may the Board of Brokers hope to see & return of iis spristine days of prosperity.

Were we writing @ review of the stock market for the past year only for the information of the habitués of Broad and Wall streets it might be compressed into the an- nouncement that the operations of the year have been gore than over impregmated with “Gouldism,” at- ‘pended by « most decided decline in the individualism of ail other operators, both great and small, Batas | in selling to his own NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, me Heraro’s constituency comprises the world it is necessary to give explanatory examples of the meaning | of the term. PACIFIC MALL has been one of the principal features of the year, fluctuating from 38}¢ a 334% a 37% a 30% a 45% 0 324 trom the beginaing of the year to the middle of May. The price declined rather slowly from about 37 to 33, when a copy of the company’s re port for the year ending April 30, 1875, was privately shown to a few of the “elect,” as well as selected friends, under a strict in- junction of seorecy. This report purported to show that the company had sunk in the*year’s business over $1,300,000. Of course none of the ‘chosen’? had any friends to whom they would give away so good a thing as this, but nevertheless it became quite fashionable to sell Pacific Mail short on the “sly”? and say nothing about it, The price dropped to $14, and for some time remained quite Steady at about 32 a 33, but on Monday, the 21st of June, the game was developed by a sudden rise from 33. to 3744, quickly foliowed in the succeeding days by a 42, at which latter figure it seems that the last of those who had acted upon confidential information at 3244, walked ap to the Cuptuin’s office and settled. The ‘shorts’ all being closed up, and no one wanting to buy steamships, the price gradually declined to 38 and then to 334. Between 36 and 34 there again accumulated a large short interest which it was desirable to “bag,’’ but this time outside help was solicited, and so “company” reports were issued and published in the daily papers at seventy- five cents per line, These being ‘too attenuated,” however, to either frighten the shorts or “gull” the public, resort was again had to the private exhibition of reports of the company’s condition, which were said to be “so good that the public would not believe them if published.” This induced a long buying on the part of a few operators always ready fora point, backed by a life preserver in the shape of a “put,” and again the price was advanced to 43, closing at a decline of 4 per cent. N ATL NTIC AND PACIFIC TELEGRAPIE early in the year was destined to drive the Western Union out of existence (if the stories told were true) and its price advanced to 29%, between which and 25 considerable unloading was accomplished by the aid of puts placed where they would do the most good. The stock having been ali distributed, the supports are taken away and it drifts back to where it started from, lying upon the market, like a dismantled ship upon the waves, Have any of those who had the point at 27 learned thereby a lesson? WESTERN UNION declined in January from 79% to 703; step by step with the advance of its rival, noticed above, but rallied again to 804g in April. From this point it steadily went down to 71\ on the 20th of May. Some of our readers will uot be likely to forget the points they received at this time of a certain decline to 50 in the near future, how boldly it was proclaimed at the uptown hotels on ‘Dec- oration’ holiday (30th May), nor their disappointment on Monday, Jung Ist, that after selling down only %% per cent to 7LJq1t rapidly advanced to 773g. Later on, in July and August, when the price was ranging at 82 to $434, the same operators, who, in May had been victimized by the “sure 50 point,” might be seen closely following an equally sure one from the same sources that the stock would sell at 96, and anxiously urging all their particular friends to get some betore it was too late, Apparently they did get it, for 84% was its highest price, since which it has steadily declined to | 7195 closing the year with a rally to 7434, or 534 per There has been a | cent lower than at the same time in 1374, BRIK AND WABASH. During the year two railroads, whose stocks have deen prominent in the dealings on the Stock Exchange, have defauited in the payment of interest and passed ito the hands of receivers. To trace the fali of these— the Erie and the Toledo and Wabash railroads—would be interesting and instructive, but our space will not admitol alengthy history, Suffice it to say of Wabash that atter years of struggle to raise money wherewith to pay its tmterest on the outstanding debt, by stil) further increasing the same, either by the sale or hypothecation of bonds, it finally h to succumb to a total loss of credit ‘The prices of both the stocks numed have had som important speculative fluctuations during the year, but in the main the stern realities, perfectly apparent in two cases, haye more than outweighed the im- aginary inflaences of ‘Goaldism."’ LAKE SHORE STOCK nas become the principal speculative stock and taken place formerly held by Erie with all that class of y traders who are always looking after the uimble After having paid no dividends since August, 1873, the company declared one of 3% per cent, payable February 1, 1875, out of the earnings for the last six months of 1874. At the time this dividend was declared the cash account of the company, as per its report to December 31, 1374, stood as follows :—~ une one-eighth, © ba + $1,403,005 Cacvilected earnings ix + '533,300 Teal. be sen Me eed pe deanives seeee ee es 1,941,905 conTRa, December liabilities, no &e... $933,225 Interest aue January 1, 1875. 207,817 dividend on guaranteed stock [The price quickly broke to 69, rallying again to 76%, and was followed by a decline to 68 in. August and to 6144 in October. On the affirmation of the Coart of Ciaims decision. above referred to by the Supreme Court the price advanced to 84, but since then has been lower, closing the year at 744 ex dividend of two per cent, Thus in one year, by the aid of quarterly dividends, the payment of which was commenced on the Ist of last July, and the uso of all the arts known to adroit manipulation, has the borrowing capactty of $36,000,000 of stock been advanced from ‘‘nix’’ to forty per cent. This review would be incomplete without a passing no tice to CHICAGO AND NORTUEST. The close of the year finas this stock in much the same hands that controlled it at the commencement. Starting at 48%, it declined in February to 39\, but re- covered to 4634 in March because Uncle Daniel was | canght largely “short,” and in consequence of the cir- all the Union Pacitic business between Omaha and Chi- | cago. Im June it sold at 354, August at 431;, October at 33%, December at 404, closing at a decline of 745 per cent for the year, Of the preferred stock it is only nec- | essary to say thatit has changed places with St. Paul | preferred; and instead, as formerly, ruling im the mar- ket about 10 per cent higher than the latier, it now re- | mains that much lower. A reference to the table | given above suiliciently explains the relative changes in position that have occurred during the past year. PRINT CLOTH MARKET.

On New Year’s morning, as Henry Frederiker, of 334 West Forty-fourth street, was proceeding through West Broadway, he was attacked by one James Johnson and another unknown man. Jolinson knocked him down a basement stairs and while lying there held a knife to Frederiker’s head and demanded hismoney, The latter made no response and was about to cry for help, when the confederate robber stuffed his mouth with a hand- kerchief. Being unable to cope with his assailants and in fear of his lile he was easily robbed of his wallet and $35. Johnson was making of with the booty when an oflicer stopped and arrested him. Sir, Freaerick Baker, of No. 37 Jay street, testified that he witnessed the assault. Judge Flammer beld Jolnson in $2,000 bail to answer, WASHINGTON PLACE COURT. Before Judge Kilbreth.

Richard, Samuel Voorhees and two other members who signed the paper, in which Mr. Britton was ac- cused of “ standing between them as a grand jury and his political frends in order to shield the latter from investigation,” intend going to Albany in a couple of days un in the meantime they should receive @ satisfactory answer from the bxecutive. ‘They allege that the District Attorney did not co-operate with them in their efforts to obtain the attendance of a certain gas company offictal as a witness when they were preparing the indictment against Mr. Fowler, of the Board of City Works. Britton, who denies this emphatically, says that the lence before that Grand Jury wasznot of itself sufficient upon which to frame an indictment, but he handed over tho unfiaished work to the December jury, and they, with further evidence which he procured, were enabied to fraine the indict ment which was presented to the Court on Friday last, Se STORMS AT SEA, DETENTIONS AND DISASTERS OF NOKTH ATLANTIO STEAMERS—REPORTS OF HEAVY WEATHER. While New York and the Atlantic coast haye lately been onjoying almost midsummer weather, with genial winds and smooth seas, the North Atlantic Ocean has been swept by a succession of terrific gales, approaching at times the intensity und force of a hurri- cane, accompanied by fearful seas and storms of hail- stones, exceedingly trymg not only to ships but to officers and men. All the steamships from European time, in consequence of the frightful storms encoun- tered on their passage. North and southwest galcs prevailed at one end of the North Atlantic lino, even hurricanes, and at the other dense fogs, preventing ves- sels from making goood passages. The Nevada, Captain Jones, of the Guion line, which eame into port yesterday noon, encountered her full share of the bad weather. She looked rusty and white from the deposits of salt water, and all hands unite in saying that her passage was unusually severe, She sailed from Queenstown on December 17 and straight- way encountered heavy gales and head seas. On the 18th, at midnight, the’ wind increased and blew vio- Jently, the steamer laboring beavily in the sea and shipping immense quantities of water, On the lvih and 20th the gale continued, with hail storms. Decem- ber 21 there were reat winds, with flerce equalls and blinding showers of hailstones, the wind backing from the northwest to the southwest, taking afresh hold and blowing terrifically, with confused cross seas, the ship shipping water at every plun; In a Word, from ene Sunday until the following the Nevada met with con- tinuous gales, known to the navigator as “living gales," with terrible squalls, hail storms and cross seas, which at times came on board in cataracts. On the 2th the storm was passed, and light breezes with dark, cloudy weather followed; thereafter light, variable’ winds, with mizzling rain and fogs; excellent steaming weather, but the ship had to run at reduced speed, whistle blowing and lead going on the coast. She an- chored off the Lightship and came up the harbor yes- terday, everybody fairly worn out by the constant strain. No damage had been done to her, and she came through the trying trip in excellent condition after fifteen and # half days from portto port Mr. Weeks, the chief officer, gave the Hxnaxo reporter the points introduced above. The Inman steamer City of Chester, Captain Leitch, encountered equally as bad weather in the early part of her trip from Queenstown, and sho ery de. cided evidences of rough usage from the elementa. One of the huge breakwaters affixed to her forward dock was smashed by an incoming and one of her quarter boats on the port side was filled by a sea and artially carried {rom the davits and swung on board, bor starboard gunwaies being broken, The City of Chester anchored for forty-eight hours eastof Fire Isiand light during the dense fog, and tt was doubtless her whistie which was heard on the Long Island coast, occasioning so mach alarm lest a | ship was on shore, All the ships, imeluding the Salier, Captain Francke, from Bremerhaven and Southampton, show signs of having had very rough voyages. No ves- sels are now greatly overdue, and probably we have heard the last of the December which are likely to be memorable jn the records North Atlantic sailors. The Egypt, Captain Grogan, of the National line, carried out precisely 1,876 bales of cotton on her last trip to Liverpool, and this coincidence with the cen- tennial year is regarded as extremely auspicious by the agents and ship’s company MR.
