i + FINANCIAL AND COMMERCINL The General Situation—Wall Street Within and Without. EVENTS OF THE WEEK. Review of the Several Markets—Gold Money and Foreign Exchange— Government and Railway Bonds. Watt Srrest, Sunday, Oct. 1, 18 ‘The results of speculation during the past week were Mot important as regards their influence on the future oft the market.“ Trading was active, and stocks were aliernately weak and strong, but business was 60 gen- erally confined to iocal operators, and the exhibition of artificiality was so bold, that even if a man bad money bw sound judgment dictated the propriety of keeping hands off the gaming table until the people who have stocked the cards show something more of the purpose of their play, The most important events wero first, she public letter of Mr. Williem H. Vanderbilt, setting forth in general terms the-condition of the New York Central road, and second, the informal meeting of sev- eral of the railway maguates for the purpose of diacuss- ‘tng the possibility of ending the railway war, While it ‘was the unanimous opinion of these gentiemen that all the commercial and material interests of the country ero suflermg from the unsettied state of * alfaira between the railways, and that the causes Ought to be removed at the earliest practicable day Bo action, unfortunately, could be taken without the co-operation of the New York Central Company and its representatives were not present, The application of certain parties in the New Jersey courts for the ap_ Pointment of a receiver of tho New Jersey Centra; Railroad Company exerted @ tomporary influence on the stock ; pat the denial of the same by the Chancellor Produced a reaction, and there existed at the close a more confident feeling as tho consequence. The passing of tho dividend by the Delaware and Lackawanna Company and the sharp decline of Read- ing im Philadelphia were also important elements of the Qnancial situation and added not a little to the ‘ .Neverishness which attended deatings, Delaware, Lackawanna and Wemern declined from 763, to 667;, New Jorsey Central from 27'{ to 24 and Delaware and Hudson Canal trom 675; to 6235. The granger share, declined sharply early in the week, reports having beon current of short crops in some portions of the Nofthwest, The St*Paul stocks declined from 30's to 28 forthe common and from 62 to 58% for the pre. lerred. Northwest common fell off trom 36. and the preferred from 61}; to 67% the close a much steadier tone prevailed ‘m these shares, and a recovery of 1to 33 percent took place, New York Contral broke from 96g to 96, and Harlem from 1334 to 131%, but both stocks re- covered uiter the publication of Mr. Vanderoilt’s card, In the remainder of the list Lake Shore and Michigan Central were most prominent, the former rising to 543% and the latter to 42%, with considerable activity ig the jate dealings. In the final sales there was are action of % alpercent. Regarding the future of the stock market each man must foria his own opinion. Outside of Wall street all is hopeful aud buoyant, The press oi the country teems with testimony of the im, provements in trade, of lurge purchases, numerous discounts, brisk business and faircoilections. Withia Wall strect all is cloudy, uncertain and blue, Tho bears arc, for the moment, in the ascendant. The ight, therefore, is between a knot of busy, scheming speculators, whu scrupie at no device to cause ruin, and the vast commercial powers o! the country that bave beguu to feol the stimulating influences of genu- ine revival, Which of these formidable contestants will conquer is scarcely a subject jor prediction, History is no uncertain teacher.

Tho sabstitution of the 4% per cent bounds for the older issues deposited as security for bank circulation has more or less tended to restrain new speculation, and for the moment prices may not fluc- tuate as much as they bave done within a year or two; but ag the national credit is always strengthening, itis doubtless only aquestion of time when all United ‘States bonds will rank even higher than ever before.

THE SISTERS OF JOSEPH, Among the religious orders of Brooklyn there are none who have spread more quickly and tone who have worked more zealously in the service of God than tho Sisters of St. Joseph. The Order wus founded in 1650 by the Ro Medaille, Soviety of Jesus, at Puy, Franc first colony of Sisters lanued in this country at Missouri, at the instance of Bishop Rosati, of that diocese. Bishop Loughlin, after coming to Brooklyn, obtained the services of thre ers of this Order, they being ent trom St. Josep Philadelphia, in the yeur 1866. They cstablisned themseives at Grand street and Graham aven Williamsburg, where they opened a young lad setnmary,; The number of ap- pliants for admrsion to the Order and to the seminary justived the Bishop and the Sisters te ot: chasing 1, Thomas’ Hall, Flushing, L. 1, where Father O' Beirne was pastor. Even this did not suffice, arf the sisters decided to vuild a seminary tuat would meet all their requirements aud which would serve as mother bouge. novitiaie and academy, The new bvuild- ing waserectod in 1808 ata cost of $60,000 lu i874 and 1875 « large addition was made to the building, mak- ing it as compleiv aud commodious ag uny seminary in the country, The course af instruction is high, und emiuently’ fits the young ladies for wha! they may be called upon to fill in after life. The cl attached to the convent is a gem in its way, and is very neatiy furnished, Tne altar is very prety. There are several shrines in the spacious grounds surrounding the convent. There are about 150 professed Sisters and & uumber of novices aud postulants, who hail from | Flushing as their mother house. Besides the acatemy at Flushing this Order has churge of St. Jusepi’s Academy, South Third street; St. Mary’s, Grand street, and St. Josepu's, Pacitic ey also have charge of the lollowing pa- 1 schoois:—St James’, Jay street; St. Aune’s, Gold street; St. Peter and Paul's, south hurd streot; St Mary's, Maujer street; Our Lady of Mercy, Dube: voise t.

Steamship Companies and the Com- | missioners Disagree. ‘Bho method of landing emigrauts in this country bas long been a question of importance to the govern+ ment. The intlux of vast numbers of foreigners to our shores demanded at one time stringent mesures as to the manner of receiving them, sion of Emigration was established by act of tue State | Logistature, to which was tutrusted a system for regu- lating the arrival of alien passengers and for protect+ ing them in case of sickness and destitution, The period for which this care was to be exteadod was first made to be five years, but, by an amendment to tho | : law, which went into effect May 1, 1875, the Commis- sloners were not required to support persons capable of earning « liveliiood {or a longer period than two years, | | ‘The law orgapizing the commission required the mas- ver and owner or consignees of a vessel bringing emigrants to New York to execute a bond for $300 for every wuch pussenger, which wus to be collected trom time to time to meet any expenses incurred in this or any other county of tho Stato for the individual allen for whom the bond was given, {n 1849 the Supreme Court decided that the statute of 1847 was void, and with a view to avoid the consti- tutional objections the State modified her statute upgn tbat subject, and amendments aud alterations have continued to be made ever since, It was then enacted that the owner or consignee of tho vessel might com- mute for tbe bond by paying the sum of $1 60 for cach emigrant passenger landed. In 1858 the charge was increased to $2, and in 1867 was further advanced to $2 50 per head. How. over, a reduction took place in 1871, and the charge was again fixed atthe original amount of $1 50, In March last tho Supreme Court decided that the statute requiring 4 Lond and permitting the commutation was in conflict with the constitutional wutboricy ullowed to a State and therefore unconstitutional aud void, In subject was properly confided to Congress by the con- sthtution, Acting upon this the Commissioners called tue attention of Congress to the matter, und in A NEW BILL Tt was re- terred to the Committee on Commerce, and was not | acted upon during the session, 1t provides for the | emigrunt 1s landed, and authorizes the Legislatures of the different States to enact such further laws in this respect a8 may become necessary for their protection. It is likely that this bill will meet with consiaerable opposition upon a number of good grounds, For somo time the steamship companies have protested against the head tax, and it was throngh their influence that the New York statute was brough. before the Supreme Court and declared unconstitutional When there were thousands of emigrants landed here daily the establisument of Caustic Garden other provisions aade vy the Commissioners of Emigration were necessary and benelicial. That they afe still uselul to @ certain degree is not denied, But the whoie nature of emigration 1s changed and demanus great modifications in the laws respecting {t. The humber of alien arrivais is nothing compared to what 1% Was when the commission was rst established, and the class of sicerage pussengers 1s quite altered. Those who come bero now ure better circumsianced and bet- tor informed in regard to the country altogether. ‘The | stitution 18 very much less, aud the lurge seale of | ovisions made for it is entirely out ot proportion and extravagant. Of covrse, some provision ior Lelp- | Jess immigrants is indispensable; but the pature o! tho provision aud the manner of ereating it arc questions Of fine distinction. The decision of the Supreme Court leit the Commission of Emigration tu a rather perplexing situation, Jt deprived them of all income, and in May last their available meuns became exhausted, ‘The Legisiature— influenced vy the pledge implied in the receipt of its officers of former commutation moneys, to protect and Support, when necded, the emigrants on whoso account it bad been paid for ase-son of tivo years alter their arrival—appropriated the sutn of $200,000 to sup- port the work of the corumission for the year ending May 4, 1877.
