FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. _ The Stock Market Still {rreewlar and Without Feature—The Lake Shore Report. GOLD STEADY AT 1121-2 et A 1125 Money on Call 7 Per Cent, with Final Offerings at 4 Per Cent—Railway and Goy- ernment Bonds Firm, Watt Steer, Wrovespay, Jan. 5—6 P, M. Lake Shore remains still as conspicuous a character 3M 'Change as does Ophelia in the tragedy, Specu- dation aud Lamlet are convertible terms in a figurative sense, aud to be ‘still harping on my daughter’ is as much tho craze of stock gambiers as of the ‘‘melan- choly Dane."’ Nor for the matter of that is the damsel 50 particularly deserving of possession after all. She fed a (arly upright life until Commodore Vander- bilt kept company with her,” and eventually dragged Ber through the borsepond of watered stock. Now that be has shaken her off and transferred his affections to his new love away up in the Dominion Of Cana, our petite dame is looked upon with an | evil eye Her schedule of assets are accepted with Many grains of salt, and ber demands, flashed upon wstockbolders in the shape of dividends, are doubted to ‘de better tham paste. This doubt exists relative to the two p t distribution to stockholders declared thia ornce Itmay be a gem of the first water, but there re judges competent to give an opinion who find in dt only « suam of the Palais Royal sort—a ciever imita- tion. So we must wait for a clear exposition of the condi- tion of Lake Shore (not for a cooked statement, that may be over or underdone, to suit the public palate) Defore we are sure that our Ophelia be really “all that fancy painted her,” or merely demirep. That this ‘uncertaiaty obtained from ‘find to finish’ of business hours is proven by the course of the stock. Best prices were made at the opening, when rumor au- nounced a dividend as probable; worst prices obtained when the dividend was assured, Circumstances ‘were iuconstant, but reasons were sound. And these are some of them:—It 1s averred that the road, though picking up lately im general busi- mess, ls gained no such net surplus over and above Hts runuing expenses and interest requirements as ®hould safely be divided up among stockholders. There wiil, vo doubt, be money in the bank to disburse tthe staced time; but people are suspicious of the | mill from which the grist comes and have no con- Mdence iu the Executive Committee as a miller, In the absence of definite facts it cannot be objected to | that stock speculators will draw their own inferences ‘nd (rame their own conclusions, and when they do gtate that the supply department of Lake Shore as beon cleaned out, that coal, oil, iron and the thou- sand and one things necessary to the working of @ rail- foad buve been reduced to a starvation point for an equivalent of cash, it is not remarkable that Uneasiness | pxists aud investors are rare, Thia is merely street taik and may be baseless, As awe remarked above, a plain, straightforward statement is what we want. We have had enough of the laundry dn Stock Exchange dealings and we will not tolerate the additiog of a cuisine. We propose to digest our state- ment raw, as we take our oysters, and utterly re- fect i “cooked.” So Messrs. Directors we are passing our Smauvais quart d’heure” before dinner and @uxivusly await the announcement that the bivalves and Chavis are served. Should official figures prove ‘that the declared dividend has been earned in a fair, business-like manner, it will be @ matter of sincere Gratification to every one who desires to promote the | failroa! iuterests of the country, Should ity however, be shown that the step bas been taken to advantage | bliques and stock gamblers it may turn out an un- fortunate one indeed. Matters otherwise were so entirely absorbed in the Lake Shore movement that little or nothing is left de- | Berving of comment, The St. Paul stocks were as quiet to-day as they were active yosterday, and that, too, in face of the official announcement of improved receipts "to the extent o $34,800 in December, 1875, over 1874, « Westero Union and Pacific Mail were out of the race, and Union Pacific, abandoned by jocks and stable help- ; ers, Lad hardly aleg to stand on. THE BALES TO-DAY. ‘The transactions on the Stock Exchange to-day aggre- gated 92,000 shares:—New York Central and Hudson River, 845; Bric, 4,000; Lake Shore, 49,771; North. | * Western, 1,200; Northwestern preferred, 400; Rock {sland, 500; Pacific Mail, 20,700; St. Paul, 600; St. Paul preferred, 2,000; Obios, 400; Western Union, 4,200; Wabash, 200; Union Pactdc, 1,160; Panama, Michigan Coutral,-5,000.

Lowest NEW YUKK HERALD, THURSDAY, payment of $1,000,000 made to the singing tuna fast January was accomplished remains xplained, It must be admitted that the reduction of $414,000 in operating expenses for the past six months, in theface of $604,000 increased gross earnings, as compared with the first six months of the year, isa most remarkable result, and suggests the thought that the earnings to- clude sales of iron, while the decreased operating ex- penses may represent reduced supplies on hand; all of which, however, must be fully shown in the regular annual report to be issued about June L. THE GRAND TRUNK’S (CANADA) NEW LINK TO CHICAGO. ‘The Chicago merchants are waking themselves happy Over the prospect of a new independent (hrough line of Tailroad to the Fast. The proposed new route is by the “Chicago and Lake Huron, a road (hat starts from ‘ort Huron, Mich.—where it makes direct connection with the Grand Trunk—and runs to Valparaiso, lud., connecting with the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chi. cago Company’s road, with which it has a contract whereby itcan run into Chicago for twenty years.”’ The road is already built and in runoing order from Port Huron to Flint, Mich., and also from Lansing, Mich, to Valparaiso, The distance between Flint and Lansing which is not yet completed is only thirty-two mil andcan easily be finished in sixty days, even during the winter, The Chicago and Lake Huron Railroad crosses the Michigan Central at Battle Creek and at Cassopolis, aud the Michigan Southern at South Bend, thus tapping those two trunk lines at very important points, It is stated onthe bestof authority thatthe Grand Trenk and Great Westertf managements have obtained control df this line and will at once complete it. lo this way these two roads geta most excellent outlet to the West, though somewhat longer than via the Michigan Central It is also rumored that the Erie Railroad in- tends to join hands with these lines, thus creating a through line fram Chicago to New York, which will be @ powerful rival to Mr. Vanderbilt’s monopolies, The Grand Trunk Railroad, being bankrupt, does not ex- pect to pay dividends, and if the local business can be made to sage expenses it can carry through freight at alm@g®any price. THE MONRY MARKET, The rate for money on cali at the Stock Exchange to-day ruled 7 per cent currqney and gold until near the close, when balances were offered down to 4 per cent, The exchanges on New York are quoted as fol- lows:—At Charleston, 8-16 a ¢ per cent discount; New Orleans, % a 7-16; Savannah, %; St. Louis, per $1,000, 60 cents discount to par; Cincinnati, par to 50 cents premium, and Chicago, par to 75 cents, Sterling ex- change was dull and inactive, the asking rates by bank- ers being 4,843¢ and 4.8834, with actual business at 4.34 aud 4.88 for long and short bills, respectively. THE GOLD MARKET,” Gold opened and closed at 11244, with sales in the in- terim at 112% and 112%.
