FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The Speculative Events of the Week. INFLUENCE OF ‘THE CENTENNIAL. Review of the Commercial Situation. ccncipemcenaidpmgpsinnani, THE STOCK KALEIDOSCOPE. Snvestment Secutities in Demand--Dulness in the Gold Market--Money Rates. Waut Srazer, Suxpay, Jan, 28, iste} ‘To-day has been as barren of news as it has been of gunshine, and frequenters of club parlors and hotel cor- }idors seemed inoculated with the dulness of the pre- wailing weather, Conversation has turned principally apon the forthcoming Centennial Exhibition and the result likely to occur therefrom as affecting fnance ana trade, Itis curious to observe the different views en- tertained by people at large as to the probable success of the undertaking. There are those who see nothing ‘but failure in a financial sense and a humiliation in a patriotic one, They quote the indifferent results ‘which attended the recent great shows on the Conti- ment of Europe, more especially the Vienna one. They argue that these exhibitions were attended ‘by all the elements that go to insure success; that they were held in the centre of the ‘most civilized people of the world; in the midst ‘of a vast population, concentrated within cheap and “easy distances, and among which were to be numbered 8 component parts @ controlling representation of fashion, luxury and wealth. They show you that the most cunning artisans in Christendom were the ex- Aibitors of specimens of their handicraft, and that all ‘that is most beautiful in art was gathered together to dend brilliancy to the display. Yet, with all this, they claim that the speculation was not a payingone and ‘that disappointment showed much more strongly to ‘the front than did the credit side of the cash accounts, These carpers, judging by the light of past events, tell vas that if, with all of these promising surroundings, the result has been an unfortunate one, that we, with our Sparse and scattered population and our dependence almost solely upon our own people for contributions, ‘can scarcely expect any more satisfactory issue. * On tho other hand the believers inan enormous success outnumber the disbelievers ten toone, They count upon a great revival of trade in the first place as ‘the natural result of the project itself. The centennial year is to be gifted with some mysterious power which 4s to be as potent as a magician’s wang, All the world and his wife are to have money in their pockets to ‘8pare for the first time since the panic; they will be en- abled to snap their fingers at the ‘butcher, the baker, ‘the candlestick maker,” and with a command to dull ‘care to begone, will goa fairing with light hearts and hheavy purses. Railroad directors, hotel keepers and the entire class that ¢aters for the transporting, feed- ing and housing of the multitude are firm believers in this exodus from city and hamlet and the precipitation of the mass into the City of Brotherly Love, Ten mill, fon souls are estimated as the probable number of visitors—in a word, one-fourth of the entire pop- alation of the country, including men, women and children, ts to be on the move some time between May and October. If this estimate is anywhere near the mark the great interests of the country cannot fail to be sensibly affected, and the centennial year will be, in time to come, looked upon as marked by a white star in our history. The probability is that both carpers and enthusiasts ‘are wide of the mark, and that definite results will be found to be somewhere between the two extremes, That the expedition 1s tobe productive of great good we have not the least doubt; and, although the hard times may tend somewhat to dim its brilliancy, it will be a mag- aificent spectacle for all that, and we esteem it fortu- mate that itis to take place just where it is and when ‘the country needs the stimulant of something out of the beaten track to give it new hope and encourage- ment ) THR COMMERCIAL SITUATION forthe past week—the third of the new year—pre sents few features that call for comment, but, such ag ‘they are, they suggest caution rather than buoyancy, and are warnings against a repetition of the sanguine expectations which were indulged at the incoming of each of the two previous new years. All the trade reports—save that of the cotton market—agree in the ‘ase of such descriptve terms as “‘stagnant,” “slug. wish,” &c, It is a noteworthy fact that while the Southern planters are forwarding their cotton to mar- ket, In the face of declining prices, so rapidly as to force unusually large exports, the past week has ex- hibited the following anomaly in the market for the chief production of the Northwest wurat, In Liverpool the prices of wheat have declined under the presence of extraordinary foreign supplies. In New York the market was dull and inactive. The quantity on hand (inclading Buffalo) is nearly double ‘that of one year ago. At Chicago and Milwaukee speculation was active and prices higher, with over 6,000,000 bushels in store, This is not suggestive of a healthy movement, but demonstrates the power that a gedundant, inconvertible currency gives to specula- tors to block the natural flow of productions to a fina; market. The experience of the past two years should have tanght us that nothing is gained by self-decep- tion. Therefore, it is wise to fully look danger and dif- | ficulties in the face, and to do so it is necessary to re- view THE ACTUAL siTUATION. What is it? First—The manufacturing, mining and coal interests are paralyzed and unprofitable, as is shown by the ‘willingness on the part of masters and employers that ‘their operatives shall refuse to accept reduced wages, even though it results in lockouts and the suspension ot production, Second—The business of the country is much re- duced in volume, It was for this reason that during the past week the gteat coal companies of Pennsylvania agreed to entirely stop all mining operations for the space of five weeks, Thivd—Keal estate has depreciated and is unsal- able, except at immense sacrifices, ownerships being avoided by reason of the heavy burdens imposed by Jocal taxes and assessments, amounting to a virtual confiscation in many sections of our largest cities, be- cause exceeding the present value. Fourth—Savings banks and other institutions ‘throughout the country are failing because of this de- prectation, and tnus locking up the savings of the in- dustrious and thrifty atatime when they most need the same—all of which tends to cause further forced economy and a consequent further reduction im the vol- ume of trade, Fifth—States having squandered the money bor- rowed, are now virtually—for the time at least—repa- diatit both principal and interest. This is another 4oss imposed upon the people, " Sizth—The debts of the States, counties, cities and corporations, instead of being liquidated during the past two years, have actually increased to such an ex- ‘tent as to involve a taxation that threatens repudia- tion, This burden can only be removed by years of toil, retrenchment and wiser management than now exists. Inilation having produced this condition and reached a point where it will no longer augment the business of the country, as was proven by the issue of $26,000,000 legal tenders in the winter of 1873 and 1874, the cure of the evil must come from the gradual and normal productions and economy of the people. OREAT RAILROAD MONOPOLIES, Seventh—Great railroad monopolies are forcing the ational government to carry a heavy accumulating interest account on its bonds loaned to aid the con- struction of the roads, thus directly taxing the people, hile the companies pay eight per cent dividends on $70,000,000, more or less, of stock which represents ry ingle dollar of actual investment, Bighth—The railroads are constantly fighting, either among themselves or with the poopie, because during the period of inflation they marked up their capitals pnd dobts to the full inflated values of that time, and #76, thorefure, operating on & basis of two, three ead | NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 1876. even four times above the figures at which the proper. ties could now be reproduced, Hence the strife to out wit each other and swell receipts at the expense competing lines, in order to accumulate a suilicient sum for the paymgnt of interest on debts and an occa. sional dividend. At present everything is reported jovely, yet receipts are still poor or not materially in- creased, while the operating expenses are reduced to a minimum; ay, even to the “skinning"’ of the property, m order to make a fair exhibit on paper. Other roads, having passed into the hands of receivers, are kept in operation by the issue of certificates of indebtedness, thus impairing the security of preceding mortgage debts. Thus these corporations prove dangerous com- petitors to the yet solvent lines. The end must be fore- closure and sale, and the longer this is deferred the Worse will it be for the properties and communities with which they are connected, Finally—Pending the approaching Presidential olec- tion the carrency question will claim precedence of all others, and the commercial, mercantile, manufac- turing and industrial interests of the country cannot again thrive until this vexed problem is permanently solved on sound and substantial principles. ‘THR TRANSACTIONS OF THE WERK. The stock market was unusually active and strong, advancing at the opening of the week. This was fol- lowed by a deciine and then by another upward turn, whieh, however, failed to reach the extreme prices for a majority of the list made earlier, and by a close that indicated feverishness and uncertainty. New York Central and Hudson was a feature toward tho end, and rose to 11234, but closed at 110%. The total transactions of the week aggregated the unusual sum of 950,000 shares, prominent among which was Lake Shore, representing 271,600; Pacific Mail, 152,100; Western Union, 112,900; Northwest, 48,000; ao, pre- ferred, 13,000; St. Paul, 36,000; do. preferred, 18,000, and Rock Island, 24,000, Business was likewise fairly distributed among the lower priced stocks, among which Ohio and Mississippi became a recognized in- fluential leader. Even Wabash, C., ©. and LC. and Atlantic and Pacific preferred, heretofore long neg- lected, were revived and joined in the grand quickstep of the new brass band. Union Pacific was heavy. as the result of too much possible Congressional investi- gations, INVESTMENT SEOURITING. In oontradistinction to the speculative fluctuation of the non-dividend list, governments and sound railway bonds and stocks have steadily tmproved under a quiet bat effective demand for investment The quantity of this cless remaining on the street is so small that a light demand immediately inffuences the quotations, and it 8 remarked that each investor either obtains the particular secarity sought, or bays none.

In this department the price ranged from 112% to 11344, closing at 113, The speculation is not active, however, and dealers are apparently awaiting the course of political affairs and a settlement of the question of resumption.

The assignee, Mr, Frederick Lewis, has bad considerable trouble in separating the accounts of this firm and those of L. J. Phillips & Co,, which were closely interwoven. The | liabilities of the former firm are $239,419 14; nominal assets $241,738 28, of which $166,000 is in account with the firm of L. J. Phillips & Co. Over two-thirds of the creditors have signified their acceptance of the proposition made by the firm at the meeting ot credi- tors beld at the St Nicholas Hotel, to compromise on a basis of twenty per cent cash, or twenty five per cent in notes at six and twelve months, and it is ex- ected that the remaining creditors will sign without lurther delay. The firm of Reuck & Bruen, dealers in fruit at No. 184 Washington street, which Jailed recently, have made an offer to compromise with their creditors on a basis of twenty per cent, There are eighty-two creditors whose claims range from $3000 to $25, the majority being under $1,000, The firm have reason to believe that at least two-thirds of their creditors will accept the proposition.

BEECHER, BOWEN AND MOULTON. RUMORS ABOUT A NATIONAL CONGREGATIONAL COUNCII-—OPINIONS ON THE PLYMOUTH TROUBLE, Yesterday, among the congregations at the several Congregational churches of Brooklyn as well as of New York, a rumor to the eflect that the leading members of the denomination determined upon an effort to e0- cure the gathering of a national Congregational coun- cil, to more clearly define the rules of fellowship, membership and individual church rnment, com manded general attention and favor. The effort was understood to be made purely for the benefit of the de- nomination in cases of serious differences of opinion, and without special or direct reference to the present status of the Beecher imbroglio or any of the un- pleasant scandals growing out of 1. There is evidentiy au increased desire to have the deno jon, as such, relieved of the difficulties in the future, which, in the recent past, have,,as is felt, given to private opin- ‘ the power for good or evil, in causing agitation, that organized denominational declaration could have shown, The belief entertained by many is that xplicit declarations on ali points involved in the present controversies, made by a national council catied fur that parpore alone, would tend greatly to cause the wicked to cease {rom troubling the Congre- gational Church organization for many years to come. There were aiso numerous expressions of the opinion thas Mr. Beecher’s night response to the letter of Joshua M. Van Cott, advising Mra Moulton to rest her case for the present, at requireg from the Brooklyn lawyer an explicit and ive rejoinder, in order to leave the status of his client in the public mind a8 well as before the letter was pru It was felt, therefore, to have been un- fortunate that professional duties should have required io 6Wastington when the occasion ‘gent. per ror itch, Henry C. Bowen, were referred to, abd wonder expressed as to whether, when duly transcribed, they will appear to be any ‘more serious than when made Marten 4 In reterence to the charges, and Mr. Bowen's re- Bponse to them, Mr, Bowen has made the joliowing Statement to a HeRaly teporter:—Mr. Bowen said ‘that he had not yet receivea the promised written copy ‘of Mr. White's charges, and he most assuredly would not trouble hinself with any se until he could seo whether or not the written charges contained any- thing more than Mr. White said was all he knew when he made bis verbal dgclayntiona § It mnat be romam. | The dght ered, bi that when Mr. White had finished his patement he (ure Bowen) asked him if that was all ho had to say, and that Mr. White said it was, Now, if Mr. White spoke correctly, as it was to be presumed ho did, he (Mr Bowen) did not think there would be much in addition to what had been said already that would be of interest to the public His friends agree with him in this conclusion. The inference was, refore, that in both the Bowen and Moulton cases there was very little more to be done at present, Mr. Van Cott having virtually advised a cessation of hostil- ities on the part of Mra, Moulion, WESTCHESTER BEATS JERSEY IN A MAIN OF THIRTEEN—TERRIFIC FIGHTING. Near the northern line of Hudson county, New Jer- sey, inone of the most famous resorts, gathered on Saturday night, notwithstanding the unpleasant state of the weather, about 100 old sports from Westchester, New York, Long Isiand and New Jersey, to take part in a contest that had been mado between Westchester and New Jersey birds, fhe match was made in this city, in the Eighth ward, about two weeks ago, the main to consist of thirteen battles, and for $1,000 the main. Every precaution was taken to avoid publicity— in fact it was decided that the place where the main was to bo fought should be kept a secret until the time of starting. There were two rendezvous in this city, ‘and at these places gathered the Wostchester, Long Island and city sports, Coaches were procured, and gradually, one after one, started for the Jersey ferries, Once on the other side, they were soon rolling away over the Jersey heights, which, after a ride of about an hour and a balf, brought them to the spot selected. It was about eight o’clock when the party began to ar- rive, but it was near ten when all were landed in safety. The whole party retreated to the rear of the house, which had been well closed and barred against any outside intrusion, A temporary bar adorned one side of the room, and here round after round of drinks were had before the sport commenced. The pit was arranged in the same room, circular seats being erected from the floor to the ceiling. Three dol- lars admission money was charged, which was freely paid by all, About half-pest nine o’clock the judges and referee were selected, and the room lighted up with kerosene lamps. A more orderly gathering was never seen, and with but one exception all passed off quietly and to the entire satisfaction of all present. Long be- fore the first battle was announced considerablo bet- ting was made on tho resalt of the main. One gentle- man from Brooklyn put up $200 to $150 that Jersey would win the contest, It was just ten minutos to ten when the first birds were dropped into the pit, and thirty-five minates past four Sunday morning when the last bird fell. The Westchesterites, it will be seen, won the main after a hard straggle, and carried away & pile of money, The following are the battlos ;— VIRST BATTLE, Two very fine birds opened the evening's sport, Westchoster presenting a biack-rod and Jersey a black, both tn weight 4 lbs 1204 The betting ran quite high, the Westchesterites giving odds ad taking inall calls, As the two birds were sent to picking they presented avery bright and active appearance, and when let go at the mark they both seemed to measure each other and then made a dash, both get- ting ip well timed blows. A pick anda fly followed, one after another, {n repeated succession, each receiv- ing fearful punishment, showing themselves solid game to the last Fora time it was a question which would win, but after a while the Westchester bird seemed to era little under the heavy biows that he received. For atime he seemed to be on the de- fence and manifested a desire to rest, but at last he took new life and battered away at his antagonist, cat- ting bim fearfully about t and, making a des- perate plunge, buried his gatfs deep into the body of the Jersey bird, killing him instantly, Time, 14m, 1s, SECOND BATTLE, New Jersey trotted out a rea-biack and Westchester a pyle, both in weight 4 Ibs. 10 oz Odds still ranged on tho Westchester side, and as both birds dropped from the handlers rapid fighting followed. It ‘was a well contested tight, and the greatest excitement prevailed around the pit “Five to two on the Jersey ird” was heard at every point; “ten to seven” on tho other followed, while there was no end to minor offers, Ten minutes told fearfully on both; the pyle ‘was blinded in the left, while the Jersey bird was car- rying a terrible gash down his neck, “Fifty to twenty,” hallooed out a short, stumpy feliow in a red shirt, “on the Jersey bird”? “I'll tuke you,’ retorted a red nosed chap from Westchester, Around the pit flew the birds, tirst one side, then the other, until at last both began to falter. Hult a dozen times were they set up at the mark, but it was evident that both were nearly gone, The count was called, and tinaliy the Jersey bird was the only one to pick and the battle wus decided in his favor. Time, 20m. 7s. THIRD BATTLE, The Jerseyites had pulled heavy onthe pockets of tho Westchester boys in the last fight, and now ven- tured odds themselves, ranging about seven to four.

THURLOW WEED'S REMINISCENCES, : New Yorx, Jan. 23, 1876. To tux Epiron gr THe HeRaLp:— Learning from an interesting article published somo time since in tho Huratp that tho venerable Elbert Herring was not only living but in the enjoyment of good health, I called to-day at his residence, No, 81 East Twenty-eighth street, and passed a pleasant hour with that now very aged and widely known and much respected citizen. We were personal and political friends more than half a century ago; but as I had not seen him for thirty years my reception was a cordial one, Our conversation, like that of all old men, was of the past and of New Yorkers who had passed away. Although belonging to a generation in advance of mine, we had numerous mutual friends in the city, few, very few, of whom survive’ He remembered New York in 1790, when the City Hail Park, where the old Bride well stood, was its western boundary. My knowledge of the city only dates back to 1806, when Lispenard street looked upon a creek, over which Canal street now runs, and into the country. Then the streets west of Broadway, betwee Warren and Lispenard, were but irregularly built upon, more than half of the lots, if I remember rightly, being vacant. Wo talked with much interest of men known to both of us, whose intelligenve, enterprise, imtegrity and patriotism, as mechanics, merchants, physicians, lawyers, divines and statesmen, whose services aud charactor, rendered our city pros: perous and secured for their hames the admiration and gratitude of their posterity. We gossiped about ancient eventsand incidents witnessed by both. We were to- ether on the Battery to receive Prosident James onroe {n 1817, and again in 1825 to welcome General Lafayette, He’ remembered, as I do, the great fire in Chathama street, when the steeple of the “Old Brick Church,” upon the site of which tho Times’ buildmg now siands, took firefrom a brand biown against it, and when, as it was too high to be reached by the engines of that day, aman appeared | upon the root of the ehurch with a bucket of water sus- pended from his shoulders, ascended the lightning red and extinguished the Oro, amid the hazzas of the ad- miring mulutade. The hero of that incident was a Por- togueee sailor, who was rewarded by an appointment as keoper of the Park, where, as long as he lived, he was | pointed out as the man who, by an actof thoughtful- ness and courage, saved the “Old Brick Church,” of which the late venerable Dr. Spring was then pastor, He witnessed the departure ot the first steamboat for Albany, and I saw it on the following day as it | passed Catekill, We both remei Brooklyn aud Williamsbarg there was even a nucleus for a vill nd Jorsey City when there was only a ferry house and tavern thord. Wo talked of walader D. Colden, Richard Riker, John Wells, Thomas Addis Emmet, William Samson, Josiah Ogden Hoffman, Thomas Franklin, Theodorus Bailey, &c., ali of whom he knew in- timately, while | was partially acquainted with them. Judge Herring was one of the earliest patrons of Charles O'Conor, discovering in the young evidences of ability and usefulness which hay been so abundantly realized. Aaron Burr appeared several times as counsel in the Marine Court, over | whith Mr. Herring presided. | Mr, Herring was born in Stratford, Conn., and is now in his ninety-uinth year. His father—Abraham Her- ring—removed to New York in 1780, and waa, for forty years or more, an enterprising and respected mer- chant Judge Merring is probably the oldest lawyer in the United States. Among his contemporaries in this city the venerable Michael Ulshoeffer, who was a mom- ber of the Legislature fifty.seven years ago, 18 the old- estsurvivor Judge Herring was an active and in- fluential political friend of De Witt Clinton. He is now in the enjoyment of good health. His sight, hoaring and memory are wonderfully preserved, and there is every reason to suppose that, under Providence, ho | will celebrate his centennial anniversary simultane ously with that of his country, vT.
