FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The Stock Market at First Buoyant and then Decliaing—An Abortive Rise. } GOLD AT 1123-8 AND 1125-8. Money on Call 7 and 5 Per Cent—Govern- | meut Bonds Steady—Railroad Bonds Strong—State Bonds Firmer. Watt Street, Tuvnspay, Jan. 6O—6 P, M. St Matthew wisely wrote that “A prophet is not ‘without honor save in bis own country."’ Since the days ofhis gospe! Christendom has accepted the sentimentas truth. There are cavillers, however, always existent and always doubtful, and when prophecy ts fulfilled are ready to turn and rend you. There an animus, of course, for this ferocity, rather physical than mental, ag might arise from somebody's corns being trodden ‘upon The journalist who ventures to limn ont the future of the stock market is by no means a prophet worthy of credence in his own house, I! his forecast should be the same as his brother scribes’, whether borne out by facts or not, no dog is let bark; but should his prog- ‘nostications be true while the rest are false, speedily “Tray, Blanche amd Sweetheart” are let loose at his heels. We have for some time back advanced certain views with regard to Wall street matters—views founded upon considerations candidly expressed and open to crititicism—which have not favored the theory of a general rise in the stock market as regards the tmme- diate future, Our reasons may have been good, bad or indifferent, as people have chosen to look upon them, ‘but this one thing is certain, they have been honestly | advanced and they have turned out correct. We are sorry ifwe have interfered with the grinding of anybouy’s axe or trodden with the heel of prediction | upon the speculative toes of bull operators, but each day proves the correctness of the prophecy, although the soer is a freeboider and pays taxes. It looked at the opening this morning as if our “prophetic soul’? was in danger of punishment for a false estimate of the market’s fuiure course, for there were evinced a tife, activity and general strength which stocks have long been a stranger to. Lake Shore, as usual, opened the ball at closing prices of | tast night, and siowly but surely worked its way to foigher figures. Sympathizing with the favorite, the whole market became imbued with a feeling of strength that gave it tne appearance of a steady, permanent ad- vance. Indeed, the rise seemed worthy of confidence | Crom the fact that there were evidently some parcels of stocks taken on outside account. Some of the money released in the shape of interest and dividends was dribbling into the fancies, and the market gained tone from the fact. Pacific Mail was at times quite as much the centre of ‘wttraction as Lake Shore, and advanced from 88% to 89, but at about this quotation the report of the City of Peking having come to grief shortly after her de- | parture from San Francisco became kuown, and the orice dropped to 383g, the lowest point of the day. Michigan Central was too weak a patient to resist ‘vhe phiebotomy of 1,000 snares of long stock turned out on the market, and succumbed to the blistering of ‘million or so of floating debt. Its pulse was just 23, | per cent lower at the close than at the opening, and with every prospect of a feverish night. Indeed, it is quite provable that the feebleness of Michigan Central ¢urned the market, for other stocks quickly turned also, and from midday to gong sourd rates gradually fell off, and tn most instances the last prices were worse than the first. To-day’s tactics betray sufficiently well that even the bull cliques have no confidence in sustaining a higher market. Prices were run up with a spirit and a hurrah at the opening, and a tremendous rub a-dub, after the manner of Chinese wariare, was created to scare the shorts. The market, thas formed good and strong, was taken advantage of by the holders of long stocks end thousands of shares were offered and found buyers without materially breaking it down. The unloading y has been greater than for many days past, and | things closed up weak and unsatisfactory. Another trial must be made to keep things moving, and mean- qhile the writer continues, despite the Evangelist, to be @ prophet in his own house. THE SALES TO-DAY amounted to about 112,000 shares, which were dis- tributed among active stocks as follows:;—New York Central and Hudson River, 1,043; Erie, 600; Lake Shore, 48,800; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 450; North. western, 500; Rock Island, 800; Pacific Mail, 27,100; St. Paul, 1,100; St. Paul preterrec, 450; Chios, 400; Western Union, 15,800; Wabash, 400; Union Pacitic, 600; Michigan Central, 9,855.

BRIE RAILWAY. ‘The annual report of the Erie Railway for the year ending September 30, 1875, has been placed on file with | the State Engimeer; but it is of less interest than usual, for the reason that its payment of interest on a portion of its bonded debt bas ceased since June 1, and there- fore it is incomplete, Such as it is, however, may be summarized as foilows:—Total receipta, $17,677,746 49; payments, $19,030,911 26, showing a deficit of $1,363,164 77.

THR WIGHT OVER EREK A epecial London despatch to the Bvening Telegram to-day says:— Mr. McHenry publishes a circular this morning con- tradicting the statements made by Sir Edward Watkin at the meeting of Erie bondholders held on Tuesday last, He characterizes the statements as “brilliant to amuse an audience. He also de- and thata Feally in his ma! nt of the Erie secoud m fair statement would show that Eric and Indianapolis Railroad, which i¢ the real bone of contention, The Daily says they fear Sir Kdward Watkin bas found a mare’s nest. MEMORANDA. Mr. J. C. Merserean, of the Gold Board, has pablished his “Annual,” containing the daily Guctuations in the price of gold from 1862 to 1875, inclasive, The volume also contains the clearances of the Gold Bank and the dally rates for carrying and borrowing gold for 1875, The book will be found of value to every banker and merchant The earnings of the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Railroad are reported as follows:— December, 1875 Increase tn 1875. January 1 to Decem! January 1 to December 31, 1874... Increase tn 1875, $49,103 00 Today it was intimated that the reduction of the supplies on hand of the Lake Shore Railroad which oc- curred during the past three months exceeded the amount of the dividend declared yesterday. To account for the decline in the price of Union Pa- cific stock to-day some waggish broker read # letter reporting that “A condvetor on a passenger train was called to account by his superiors for having passed a single passenger over «@ portion of the road | without collecting any fare, and gave as his | excuse that he was lonesome; besides ich he did not think it looked weli for the company to run atrain with no one in it bat « conductor and brake. man, The excuse deing deemed insufficient, the con- | ductor was discharged.” H In soother Colum appears @ notice addressed | ‘of the bonds, and probably overs the only prospect of Yo the bondholders of the Chesapeake aud Ohio | Railroad Company. The recent decision of the United States Court places this important work once more ia the hands of those who are directly interested, and permits of progress toward the proposed reorgani- zation, The plan has been accepted by over $10,000,000 rescuing the property from its embarrassments. To-day @ package of $12,000 Union Pacific first mort- gage bonds was lost between the offices of Marx & Co, aud Winslow, Lanier & Co. A reward will be paid for its recovery.
