HINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Review of the Week—aActivity and sFirmness in the Stock Market. IMPROVEMENT IN GOLD. The Money Situation and Bank Statement— Our Foreign Commerce. Walp Street, } Suxpar,-Dec. 17, 1876. It becoming more evident every day that, whatever be the complications of the political situation, recourse to “‘villanous saltpetre’? as a means of righting them 4s quite as Ubnoxious to the pooplo as it was to Fal. staff, a more confident feeling has grown up in busi- nése circles and 4 glimmer of the welcome light has fallen upon the Stock Exchange. Although dulness hag been the characteristic fvature, and transactions, in the absence of all outside support, have been cur- talled to the briefest dimensions, there bas been no Yielding in values during the past week, but, on the contrary, in some cases a positive activity and im- provement New York Central, Lake Shore and Michigan Contral may ve. cited as illustrations of these; for in spite of civil war talk and other ‘weak iaven- tons of the enemy’’—the bear contingont—they show & net advance for the week's trade of trom 8 to 4 per tent Under tho ticklish condition of public affairs it is satisfactory to find the market holding its own with such persistent steadiness, but a positive rise was, in manner, abnormal, and could only be accounted for by some favorable influences of an oxtraordinury na- ture. These were,supplied—first, by tho unexpectediy good reports made by the Centra! and Hudson and Lake Shore companies, and.second, by tho growing belief that the railway war was upon the eve of set- Wement. The declaration of the regular quarterly dividend of two per cent by the former corporation, with tho additional estimate of a million and a halt of Surplus, yave a start to Central and Hud- ton as the heavy weight of the street, and under its iea hip the rest of the active fist wheeled into line, Lake Shore has nothing to say about a division of profits just yet, but it has cont- flent sponsors enough to. promise and vow a dividend In its name in the early part of the now year and to lnvite subscribers to the stock at market rates, they Wemselves being willing to fill the subscriptions father than that any one sbould gu empty banded. But the strongest provocation to the rise was the coni- gence that tne hart kari, suicidal policy of cutting un, der was about to be abandoned, to the benefit of many holders of sharcs and to the good of the railway com- panies themselves. This desirable consummation has go often slipped between the cup of expectancy and the lip of fruition that ineredulity grew like a rank ‘weed which required most positive information to root up. It seems pretty certain now that what has been so long 4 matter of hope avd anticipation has at last as- sumed definite shape, and that some agreement has deen hit upon which will rest@e to harmony the Jarring cloments of the railroad happy family. What the agrecment is will be moro definitely known ina day or two, but it will probably bear the form of a cdntract by which the trank roads will be pledged to carry eastern bound freight (destined for export) to tho seaboard cities at an equality of charges, regardless of distance, while certain discriminations will be allowed on purely local traflic. Western Union had also its ‘dish to set before king” in the shapo of an excellent quarterly report; but, unlike the railroads, the price of the stock failed to respond except in a moderate degree, The oppo: tion of the Atlantic and Pacific Company, which p Odically shows itself practically vicious by cutting down tolls; the knowlodge that the great increase in its business was more or less of a “fluke,” and the presonce of Jay Gould, who, with # huge short inter- est, has assumed the réle of the mysterious “nigger in the fence,” all haye a tendency to deter speculation, or at least to warrant a very gingerly touching of its shares for the long side of the account. Apart from the specialties above noted there is nothing in the rest of the list to remark boyoud its uniform steadiness, The interesting question next turns up—“Is the present advance the result of sheor manipulation, under pretence of better times, or, like an historical romance, is it founded on fact t’” THE SALES OF THE WEEK, ‘yhe following tablo shows the opening, highest and lowest sales, regular way, of the principal stocks, together with gpe number of shares dealt tn:— Wo, of Open- High- Low.

On call loans the extremes of the week wore 2 and 6 ter cent, and the principal transacti wore on tho basis of 4and 5 per cent. The supply continues to be abundant, but it is thought that with the improve- trent of business, whenover that desirable stago shall be reached, the rates will materially harden, in the discount market prime business notes have been taken at 634 and 7 per cont. The bank statement of the week shows some significgnt changes, The loans are down $2,533,800, and the iegal tenders are up $158,500. by is probably dus to a falling of in the demand for disounts from out of town banks, and also lor cum NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER rency for crop purposes, The specie has increased $4,023,800 in consequence of furtner receipts of gold from Europe and considerable disbursements by the Treasury for called bonds.

J. LAWRESCB, ee THE TOY TRADE. THE LATEST VROM SANTA CLAUS’ FACTORY— THE GAMBLING MONKSBY, AND A COW THAT GIVES REAL MILK. i Io no branch of business is the reviving effect of the holidays more apparentthan inthe toy and fancy goods trade, Dollar stores, importers’ combinations end toy shops are crowded whenever the weather is at allagreeable, and no one appears to begrudge the money that is expended for trifling holiaay presents. Throngs ofcurious sight seekers gather about every window where a toy is to be seen performing its allotted task, and none prove more attractive than the tight rope walkers. A new method of acrobatic walking, and one which quite out-Blondins Blondin, is now in vogue among the mechanical toys. It consists ina figure hangiug as gracefully as possible froma tight rope and moving slowly and cautiously along hand ovor hand, When this unnatural motion becomes irksome it is exchanged for a still more unnatural one, the gymnast being fastened to the rope head downward, and con, tinuing his progress by means of a couple of nooks, fastened one on the calf of each leg. There is said to be abltter rivalry between tho acrobats who walk right si le up and those who walk upside down, but at present the latter enjoy by far the greator popalarity. A greater raction, however, than oven this novelty in tight rope walking isa life size Santa Claus, whicn stands in front of a well known fancy goods store on Broadway, looking tor all tho world like the waxwork figure of Elisha Kent Kane in bis Arctic furs. Another well known store on Sixth avenue succeeds in drawing crowds to its windows by a gorgeous display of wax dolls, arrayed in several groups. The largest window contains a representation of a grand evening recep- tion by richly dressed dolls, ten or twelve inches in hegnt Onone side the reception room cpens into a spacious bedroom, where the children are being tucked 1m for the night. “HIGH LIFE BELOW BTaiRns.”? On the opposite side there is a fine kitchen scene, Here the noatly dressed figure of a colored woman— who should be kneeling with a scrubbing brush in her hand—les at full length upon the floor, her hands clasped over a bucket of congoaled soapsuds, it seems that while in the act of scrubbing the floor the poor woman has been overcome by the news of some fresh “‘outrage” or “intimidation” practised upon a rela- tivein theSouth, I¢ is evident that she has remained in this dangerous condition tor many hours, asthe fire has gone out and the bucket of hot water has cooled and frozen, The heartlessness of tho revollers inthe samo apartment—tor no partition separates kitchen trom drawing room—is shown by the cold neglect which the negro woman suffers at their waxen hands. Tho most striking feature of these fashionable dolis is the total lack of manliness on the part of the men. In fact the only means of determining whether a figure is tnat of a gentieman or of a lady is by a alight differ- ence in dress. Otherwise the resembiance is com- picte. All alike have a delicate pink and white com- plexion, bright blue eyes, fine, feminine features, pierced cars and bustles, KRIS KRINGLE. On the wall over one vf the toy counters within the store is a fresco thirty or forty feet in | , and ting Kris Kringle on bis annual round of ite. The main jows the welcome visitor ited in a commodious and driving a four- in-band of reindeer over a causeway of yellow clouds, With bis right hand holds the strings of balf a dozen toy loons, a paint brush, palette, sketch book and box of paints. Other balloons flost in tho rear, and a captive doll drags painfully on bebind, A flirtation’s jack-in-a-box has aprung up behind the dri- vor to gaze at three ghastly female heads, just omerging from a bank of sombre clouds in rear of je sleigh and staring at the Christmas King and his grotesque load. Another sceno on the same wall reprosent Kris Kringle in the act of alighting on a spaciou housetop, and still another depicts a couple of chil- dren comfortebly tucked in bed and all uncomsctous of a pair of fur-clad legs which ome to be dancing a hornpipe in the fireplace. Santa Cla as evidently started down the chimney with too la load of presents and got wedged in at a point on a level with the chimney piece. Judging from tho aspect of his lower extromities that silen' in the chimney corner must be anything but CHERCBS AND MILCH COWS. Rosy faced cherubs dangle from every chandelier throughout the store, aud ope overgrown aie doll hag been lashed to a pillar, like wn Indigp captive pre- pared for the torture. A camel-lipped m seoted on a mnsi¢ box, when wound up, atmuses the crowd by throwing dice and piercing glances at one and the same me, Another mochauical toy, and one which is foand 1p every toy shop, represents a venerable and emphatic negro reading a report of ‘‘outrages’’ in & Fepublican paper. At the toy etands along the streets this gentleman may be purchasea in sound conditiow for $2 in the stores ho vosts $3 and $8 50, But perbaps the most amusing and liiclike of these ‘fantastic toys’ is that of an Alderney cow, one foot in length, which “lows” when its head is turne and gives real milk in quantities ranging from a thi: bletull to haifa pint, the supply being determined by the amount of lacteal fluid poured through a trap door in her back before the operation of milking is performed, lo the same manner she may be made to yield real cream. Such a valuable antiwnal is worth $5. A-some- what sinaller one, which lows, but does not milk, costs only $3 But no one would think of buying the latter who has once seen the former. HOW MOMMY CAN BK SYENT. Among the choicor delicacies for the very young may be mentioned tho gingerbread and candy cow, costing $1; a horse of the same breed, seventy-five cents; chickens of like substan nty-five cents nd $1 50; Ih it with the word ‘Lion’? on the sido, to show that they are not cats— ;, and giogerbread men in full aniform of sugai 50 aud $2.50. Wooden and metal livery stables range in price from sixty conts to $15, horses and carriages thrown in. Warehouses, woil tilled ods, ty Rona same price. John Gilpin on a hobby orse and Ben Butler on foot may be had | $2 60 respectively.

Not even the conspiracies of the Bonapartists move Frenchmen so much at this moment as the mye- terious fate of the disombowelled woman who was recently found cut in two pieces with the intes. tines carefully removed. Nothing bas yet been as- certained with respect to the perpetrators of the muraer and mutilation, but a doctor whofbas viewed the body has jast added to the general horror by exprossing his “boliet that the unfortunate woman must have been disembowelled while still living: His opinion is founded on the look of unuttorabie agony which the face still wears iu dvath Meanwhile the Morguo is dully Deslegea by thousands of persors anxious to have & look at the remains. Indeed, a taste for the horribie 1s an unpleasant element in French nature. It was long remembered how all Paris kept holiday on the day when Datuiens was to oxpiate by the most trighttul torturcs his attompt on the life of Lous XV, Fino ladies intrigued for places whence they might have a good view of the proceedings, while the four horses were desperutely pulling Damiens’ limba, unable to tearthgm from the body, though whip and spur were pitilessly applicd. “Oh, how I pity tho poor beasts!" a beautiful marquise was heard to exclaim.

It 1s certainly pleasant to think that M.
