attention, There are others deserving away outsice speculation is the fact that nearly every FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL ‘Events of the Week im the Stock Market— The War of the Bulls and Bears, THE GENERAL CONDITION OF TRADE. ‘Gold a Triile Higher—Money on Call Loans Irregular, but Closing Firm— State and Government Bonds. Wate Srri Sunpay, yan 9 9, 1876. in discussing the subject of duiness in stock circles vwe have repeatedly hinted at some of its causes, We ‘have shown that the community is too poor to indulge dn the luxury ofa ‘“flyer;” that loose money must be made to earn its living, and that accordingly it is set ‘to work in the vineyard of undoubted dividend paying securities, be they stocks or bonds. We have marked ‘this as a fact from the steady advance in price of these \properties, and have gone so far as to predict that real estate would soon show a revival based upom the in- vestment of tunds which cannot any longer be placed st advantageous rates in tho best classes of railroad and other mortgages. We have, however, expressed a very different idea of the ‘ducks and drakes” which make up the chief ornithological show of tho daily market, There are people who believe that the truth should not be told upon all occasions, and they would eather “doubt truth to bea liar’ than not, So truth ‘uas offended somebody and has been called names for \t, which is unparliamentary, at least, Operations in secarities—which, to a greater or less degree, are speculative, as their values finctuate and ‘re more or less uncertain—constitute the “stock mar- “ket,” The investment market is quite another thing, “and is governed by intrinsic values. It 1s even held in an entirely separate department, and, save in excep- tional cases, has as little in common with the other as ‘bas a Benedict with his mother-in-law. In proof of this ts cited the fact that the dealings upon the “bond call” do not usually foot up one-tenth in value of those an the “‘stock market” proper, People may take their ‘money up stairs with them safely if they do not fall ‘among thieves by the way. Indeed, it is there where ‘they do take it, and not to the larger hall below. This Yatter department is full of pitfalls and snares, but brokers grumble because innocent “outsiders” are too wary to fall intothem. Some of these “‘springes to veatch = woodcocks’? have already met with i, Per- ‘haps one of the most crying evils which scares active stock upon the list is controlled by a set of di- ‘rectors who are prominent stock jobbers themselves, ‘Having pertect insight into the mechanism of the ma- vehine, Chey wind it up or let it run down, oil the works | sor throw it out of gear, as personal profit suggests, ‘Statements are made which are ‘couleur de rose” to-day and “dark as Erebus” to-morrow. So the public will have nothing to do with the machine and avoid it as they would an oroide watch, ‘There is another danger even more perilous than the last, where the trap is set by friendship and baited by confidence. ‘Fidus Achates,’? who swings the market ‘aud is your sworn friend, breathes into your ear to buy, swhispers a like accumulative idea to your neighbor and im the end quietly sows broadcast the information that ‘the possession of a few shares will, in the words of the Bagman to the Ragman, certainly ‘do thee no harm.” ‘Of course ‘‘Fidus Achates” has thus made a market for ‘his stock, and you and other innocent victims to this confidence dodge have helped relieve him from his load. But stock-jobbing people are ‘‘all honorable men” and the above theory is as base in suggestion as it is impos- | sible tn practice, One more illustration and we cease. We give our | orders to our broker and he buys as we dictate. We are fortunate enough to make our purchase of one of our “honorable men’? and congratulate ourselves accord. ingly, the more so as the stock we have chosen is ising hourly. When the time arrives for the delivery of our purchase shares we receive a polite note instead of the expected scrip, and the polite note isaregret that the seller is unable to perform his part of the con- tract, We have a kind heart and we regret his misfor- | ‘tune as we deplore our own loss, and we continue in ‘this way of thinking until it is made plain that there are a dozen others in the same unseaworthy boat as ourselves, aud that our Stock Exchange, man has, without a dollar to lose, simply traded on the credit | ‘bismombership has given him to fivece bis fellow ‘members and their clientele. He and other creditors ‘have simply bet our thousands against a written L. 0. ., and we retire from the Stock Exchange with a -bigher appreciation than ever of that curious game «which is known as ‘heads I win, tails you lose.”’ Viewed from a commercial standpoint, the first week of the New Year has presented nota single feature that «indicates a change from 1875 to 1876. The markets are controlled by the same characteristics as heretofore, and held as persistently stagnant as if compressed witnin the jaws ofa vice. There seems to exist a des- erate hope—against faith—that through the interven. | tion of some miracle—like a general blighting of the ext crops—speculators may yet be able to find a profitable market for the products now locked in our storehouses, Even the staid Mark Lane Express finds | comfort in suggesting that it is not impossible that the orops of 1876 in Great Britain will prove very nearly a Aotal failure. This ‘possibility,’ in the face of the | accounts of bankruptcy and of threatened disaster at | Odessa in consequence of “the large accumulation of | avheat, for which there is at present no market,”’ must be admitted to be, for our speculative holders, “hope tong deferred.” THE MOVEMENT OF PRODUCTS. We notice that grain is being shipped from Milwan- ee to Racine simply from want of storage at the for- mer place, the latter having a capacity for about 600,000 ushels, Thero has been a further reduction in the | erices of certain staple dry goods during the week, «ithout, however, effecting any material es. In ‘act it is probably safe to say that the week has beer the dullest, even for midwinter, of any for many years, | -aot only in this city but all over the country, excepting alone the cotton ports, from which there comes a single gleam of mercantile light, in the fact that notwithstand- dng the comparatively low price of cotton, it is being shipped for foreign ports and a market, even largely in | excess of several years past, ‘THE FREIGHT QUESTION. Daring tho week the railroads have once more set- ‘tled their disputes concerning west bound freight, and vagain established rates of November on the following basis, From New York and Boston to Chicago to ywit:—First class, T5c.; second, 70c.; third, 60c,; fourth, 45c. ; special, 35c. The rates from Philadelphia and Baltimore to tne same points in the West are re- spectively five and eight cents less om first class, the other clpyges Deing in proportion. While the foregoing rates are auch bigher than those which have prevailed | during the past six months, and bigher than a good proportion of the business will yet be done at, because | of contracts that do not expire until spring, they are twenty-live per cent lower than the rates of one year | ago, and only about one-half of the rates established prior to 1874 No sooncr aro the troubles at this end settled, however, than there come rumors from athe West of a dreak in the established ‘rates for east bound freights and a stir by the Chicago merchants in consequence of the pooled lines discrimi. cating against that city, in that the rates from Mil- q@aukee (51 miles greater distance) are the same as Chicago to all Eastern points, Thus it is that the ratl- ‘toad officials, in their constant efforts, by hook or trook, to accumulate returns on capital representing $80,000 to $130,000 per mile, out of property the actual tost of which has not exceeded $40,000 to $60,000 per ‘tule, are kept in hot water at all pointe, | THE STOCK MARKET. | On the Stock Exchange there has been a partially | waccessful effort to celebrate the centennial year with arising market, The week opened quiet and steady, tho first day passing off without a sign or feature to in- licate the coming activity. On Tuesday, Lake Shore stepped to the frontin arise of 1% per cent to 61%, am, as {t seems, the well assured point that the com- tany would pay adividend, The remainder of the list ‘oliowed with @ sort of halting belief, as if feartu! af becoming dizzy if it should reach bigh an elevation, On Wednesday the lost searly all the gain of Tuesday under a im th srice of Michigan Central. from 60 to SRM. and aven NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY; JANUARY 10, 1876. the positive announcement at noon thatthe Lake Shore directors had declared a dividend of 2 per cont did not rescue the market from its torpid condition, With the declaration of the dividend the Lake Shore Company issued its Auditor’s report for the last six months, which we do pot hesitate to say isthe most remarkabie document for its inconsistent and impos- sible statement thatever emanated from an official. ‘The statement says that the loss in gross earnings from freight was $873,000, caused by a diminution in volume of 7 66-100 per cent, and by less price on business done of 15 65-100 per cent, Now the total gross earnings from freight in the corresponding months of 1874 were $5,696,909, and it requires no slate and pencil to dis- cover that these percentages produce a much larger sum than that stated as the loss on freights for the past six months. Where is the little joker? Will some “expert” expiain. INVESTMENT SECURITIES. ; On Thursday there was 4 complete change im the tactics employed, and one might have fairly believed that the entire sum of money disbursed for January dividends and interest had been turned loose upom the Exchange, so active was the apparent demand for investment stocks. New York Central took the lead in an advance to 106%, followed by Harlem, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, Rock Island and all the other good securities, save Illinois Central, which, for some reason, was neglected by in- vestors. Concerning this stock (by way of parenthesis) there seems to be a growing impression that its jnvest- ment in its New Orleans line is likely to prove unsatis- factory and unremunerative. People do say that freight will float down the Mississippi River much cheaper than it can be hauled by a locomotive, At all events the stock nas been but little sought after since the discovery that a portion of its past dividends had been paid out of land sales instead of from earnings. There is, however, but little stock floating in the street, which has tendency to keep its nominal quotations quite steady, The movement referred to among the investments had bat little effect for the first day upon the speculatives, Michigan Central still acting as a demoralizer by still farther declining to 57 after hav- ing rallied to 59, But on Friday, the movement in in- vestments being continued, and Western Union com- ing forward with an advance to 7544, the whole list re- sponded and the market ended firm, with a genorally prevailing impression that the Centennial Exhibition had opened and was in the full blast of success, The last “bear”? went home, regretting that be had not covered his stocks before the Exchange closed, and in great doubt about being able to do so at any price on the morrow. SATURDAY’S MARKET is of so recent a date as not to require another descrip- tion. Suffice it to say that the “bears,” one and all, surrendered just at the moment that the ‘‘bulls” were about to do so from sheer exhaustion aftor the past six weeks’ strain and anxiety, and thanking their stars for the lucky fright of their antagon- ists, did not hesitate to sell as rapidly as possible. The effects of this realization were seen later in the day im the snarp decline of Mr, Gould’s favorite “pets,” Union Pacific and Pacific Mail, followed by the whole list, It is not probable that the different cliques are all out of their stocks, nor that the market will not continue to respond to speculative Influences, but it is quite evident that certain of the large operators regarded the decline of Saturday after- noon with a complacency that was. a new sensation to them. An examination of the best figures made yes- terday for the speculative shares shows that they did not reach the prices of the October rise; yet ever since that time the most superhuman efforts have been made to put the market up. The Hxratp has fre- quently made the point that ‘THE RISE AND PALL OF PANCY STOCKS in Wall street is no longer an indication of the condi- tion of the legitimate business of the country. For- merly there were few merchants who, finding them- selves possessed of a surplus beyond the requirements of their ousiness, did not at times enter the speculative ring and take at least “a flyer, » Now, however, the number is small, indeed, who have the necessary sur- plus to engage in speculation, and these do not propose to contribute to the support of the members of the tock Exchange. While there is so little inducement for capital to enter upon new enterprises it is natural that the best class of securities should continue to float away from Wall strect; but it is Just as natural (and the necessities of holders hasten the movement) that securities tainted with doubt shall steadily accumulate inthe market, Hence it is that the purchase of a block of stock by “a pooi” now affects the market price so insignificantly, HIGHEST AND.

The rates for money on call at thé Stock Exchange worked steadily easier trom the opening of the week until the last day, when the demand became quite active again, advancing the price to 7 per cent, gold. The reasons for this advance which were generally accepted by the speculative fraternity—to wit, tho sudden decline in the prices of Mr. Gould’s stocks— seem to be insufficient, A more plausible ove might be found in the bank statement, which exhibited a further decline of $596,500 in the average of legal | tenders, notwithstanding that the Sub-Treasury had disbursed some $2,000,000 of currency in excess of its receipts during the week, THE GOLD MARKET requires little comment beyond the fact that prices ap- pear to be steadily hardening, owing to the unsettled condition of affairs abroad and the undetermined posi- | tion of Congress with reference to the currency ques- tion, The iollowing were the GULD FLUCTUATIONS FOR THE WEEK. | Opening. pen, Lowest.

RECEIVER SOUTHWORTH'S PROGRESS IN REDEEM- ING THE COMPANY'S FINANCES, The complicated affairs of the Bleecker Street Rail- road still occupy the attention of the public, not only those who hold stock or are otherwise pecuniarily in- terested, but also all those who have to use this line as a convenient mode of travel from the east to the west side of the lower part of the city. Mr, Alvan S$. Southworth, the recetver appointed by Judge Noah Davis, and his assistants, Messra. Charles B. Rockwood and Frederick Ponto, are doing their best to unravel the affairs of the com- pany for the beaetit of the genuine stockholders, In the order issued by the Supreme Court Mr. Southworth was commanded to rescue the property from all evil disposed persons and preserve the franchiso, as since he has been appoinved a great number of suits bave been commenced by different people to embarrass him in his position, intending eventually to throw this valuable franchise into the hands of a few unscrupulous political magnates who have never puta dollar into the road. An action on the part of some of the bondholders comes up to-day before Judge Donobue to foreclose. It is entitled “Harlow ys. The Bieecker Street Railroad,” Mr. Southworth, as receiver, is nota party to that suit,‘and considers that it is the duty of the attorney of the road, Mr. John M. Scribner, Jr, to appear for the stockholders. It ' is stated, however, that it is the intention of Mr, Scribner, who should protect the rights of the stockholders, to act with those parties bringing the suit. The great point of dispute now is whether the road shail go into the hands of the Twenty-third street line, over which Mr. Jacob Sharpe holds the controlling power, or be run in the interest of those who have invested their money in it. Part of the lino, between Fourteenth street and the Twenty-third sireot ferry, hus not been operated at all within eighteen months, id as five directors of the Twenty-third street line are ‘9 directors of the Bleecker Street Railroad, the in- feronce is that tbe latter road has been systematically worked in the interest of the former, Meetings of the boudholders and stockholders are frequently held, es- pecially bondholdera At one of these meetings a com- Munication was received from the Twenty-third street line proposing to pay $150,000, one and a half per cent ob stock and seven per centon bonds, with right to lease for nimety-nine years, The stockholders, however, do not seem to feel the requisite contidence in the guarantee, considering that men who will, as they say, deliberately ruin one road to benetit another are not to be trusted, Further, it is thought that if the road 1s worth so much to Mr, Jacob Sharpe and those acting with him, it is worth rescuing for, the poople whose money iséunk init. An effort 1 be made to sell it out on foreclosure, and the peor who rumed it will buy it for tlemselves, a of the stockholuers and bondholders have called f, Southworth iu regard to the matter and he ad- vised. them all to have no fears about the ultimate re- sult but to await devolopments. The old ring continue their threats to upset the recoivership, with the evident intention of getting full control again,’ In fact it ts tue repetition of the old Erie business on a somewhat smaller scale. Tie order, however, appointing Mr. Soutuiworth is gimost as sweeping as that which made Mr. Jewett receiver of the Erie road. Last week Mr, Southworth appealed to the Supreme Court concerning the second mortgage bonds and it was decided that they should be delivered to him. Mr. ‘Thurlow Weed called on Mr. Southworth last week and seemed to have aciear appreciation of the fact that the road bad been mismanaged for some time past on ac- count of a want of harmony among the directors, Nu- merous applications from most —_reputabie citizens have been received asking for posi- tions as conductors for people wanting employment, and Mr. Southworth states that he is willing to ap- pomt aman, properly recommended, whose honesty can be vouched for, and who is willing to work for $2 26 a day, and wants no more. Mr. Southworth is in daily receipt of letters from employés, conductors and other persons interested in the road, showing the combina- tion between conductors, drivers, starters, time spot- ters and others who are interested in the ring that have 80 long controlied this road.

JOHN W. CHADWICK, A large congregation attended the Second Unitarian church, Brooklyn, last evening to hear the pastor, Rev. John W, Chadwick, deliver the third of a centennial course of lectures, the subject being “Thomas Paine’’ Thomas Paine, be said, had in his veins Quaker blood, which developed itself all his life in a more favorable estimate of the Frienda than any other sect, a trait he held in common with Voltaire. Speaking of “The Crisis,” the lecturer said that Paine’s most brilliant enemies have confeased the transcendent energy and influence of the publication, and well they might, for there was no denying it It was certainly not much to claim for it that it hastened the Declaration of Inde- pendence six or eight weeks, Bat if the Declaration had been delayed eight weeks It might have been de. layed a century. Seven weeks after the Fourth of July came the battle of Long Isiand. It is safe to say that if the Declaration had pot been previously adopted it would not have been adopted after that terrible calamity. But the efficient service that Thomas Paine rendered to the cause of American mdependence takes nothing from the fame and honor of the men whose work itcrowned. Paine’s was the footfall which dis- lodged the avalanche of independence and sent it tumbling down into the abyss of fey ae politics, and but for bim the sum and rain might have frittered away its substance and made it null and void. While doing so much for America Paine bad done little for himself, His “Common Sense” and the successive numbers of the “Crisis” bad added nothing wo his private fortune. The reverend gentleman then gave an account of Paine’s career in Eagland and in France, of the “Rights of Man’’ and the “Age of Reason,” and concluded with an estimate of his character and iniluence, WHALING EXPERIENCES. Mr. Prentice Mulford delivered an interesting lecture last evening at Trenor’s Hall, No. 1,206 Broadway, the subject being “The Whaling Flect and Personal Ex- periences of a Whaling Voyage.” But little exaggera- tion is required to render such a topic thrilling even to those unacqnainted with the perils and privations in- cident to the life ofa whaler, Indeed, a plain state- ment of facts is sufficient to enlist at any time earnest attention. The skill and unflinching courage so often displayed in moments of danger by those in pursuit of thetr huge victim were duly dilated upon by the lecturer, who handled the subject in all its phases with decided ability. The experiences of the whaling voyage were intelligently detailed, and the numerous incidents which occurred on the trip, His description of scenes in the Arctic seas and the difficulties and terrors which 80 frequently menaced the crew were alike novel and exciting, aud were evidently appreciated by the audience, THE GERMAN SINGING SOCIETIES, A meeting of tho members of the Centennial Saenger- bund was held yesterday at Arion Hall, in Fourth Street, to perfect the arrangements for the Centennial celebration by the German-American singers of this city. The Bund numbers about 500 members from the Liedercranz, Arion, Saenger-Runde, Beethoven Min- nerchor, New York Mannerchor, Heine Bund, Turner Society, and the Arion of Williamsburg. The pro- gramme decided upon is as follows:—On Sunday, July 2, there will be a grand concert at the Hippodrome, in which Gilmore’s full band will take part. =~ Bayard Tay- lor has furnished a patriotic song to be sung upon the occasion, and apremium of $500 has been of- fered, competition open to the world, tor the best ‘musical composition adapted to the poem. On Monday, Ju'y 3 there will be a grand toreblight procession, in which nearly all of the German societies in the city will participate. ‘They will meet in Turner Hall, in Fourth street, where they will form, with bands of music, and proceed through Fourth street to the pated and to Union square. Here the torches will all be thrown into a blazing heap, around which the consolidated Bund will sing their songs. Tuesday, the Fourth of July, will be devoted to a grand concert and picnic in Jones’ Wood, The concert at the Hippo- drome will be under the baton of Dr. Damrosch, of the Arion, Some of the best lady soloists in the city have been engaged, and are already rehearsing their pieces for the occasion. SOCIAL SCIENC. The American Social Science Association will hold its eleventh annual meeting on Wednesday next in the Lowell Institute, Boston, During the session inter- esting papers will be read on ‘‘The Science of Govern- ment,” “The Opening of the Forty-fourth Congress,” “School Hygiene,” “Homes for the People in Cities” and “The Daily Newspaper Press.” The most promi- nent members of the association will participate in the debates, THE NINETY-SIXTH REGIMENT. In compliance with general orders, the members of the Ninety-sixth regiment will assemble in fatigue an} form, armed and equipped, at the armory, corner of Elm and White streets, on Wednesday evening next, to be mustered out of service, Many members of the regiment, desirous of preserv- ing their military status and of serving out their terms of enlistment, have made arrangements to join com- panies to go into other regiments, Yesterday morning Company K, Ninety-sixth regt- mont, held a meeting at No. 170 Forsyth streot, and after oaullng g up their business preparatory to being mustered out of service, ten of the members stepped forward and signed the roll of members tor Company G, Fifth regiment, which will be under command of Cap- tain Max Ebler, now Adjutant, Company I, Ninety-sixth regiment. Last evening Company F and Company H also took similar action, The names of thirty-two members of other companies were sent to Captain Ebier’s yesterday. OCEAN PASSENGER TRAFFIC. As an illustration of the extreme dulness of the ocean passenger trade the following items tell their own story :—The Anchoria, of the Anchor line, brought only five cabin and two steorage passengers; the City of Montreal, of the Inman line, seven cabih Ppassen- gers, and the Algeria, of the Cunard line, forty-five cabin and seventeen steerage. Neither the Atlas, of the Pim, Forwood line for Central America, nor the State of Indiana, from Glasgow, of the State line, both of which vessels arrived yesterday, brought a single cabin passenger. THE CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL Final arrangements will be made to-day for the ap- proaching council in Plymouth ecburch, Mr. Van Cott, the legal representative of Mra.
