. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ——_ + The Incidents of the Past Week in Speculative Circles, GOLD DOWN TO 107 1 Money on Call Lovns Firmer—Government and Railway Bonds Higher—The New Year Dividends. Wat Street, } FS Sunpay, Deo, 24, l It 1s.a well attested fact that iron is an important Constituent of the human blood, but it has not yet deen ascertained that the average American is gifted deyong his kind by an extra infusion of quicksilver. {t is bigbly probable, though, that such is she fact, for we are forced to look to congenital reasons for caus which affect his temperament, individualize his ac- tions and, in a general way, make him a marked man for dasb, energy and an irresistible desire to push on and keep moving. How the volatile metal got into bis system, whether by divine right, as kings get their crowns, or by the more earthly process of absorbing it in the chemical forms of calomel and blue pill, matters little; 1% suffices that such character- istics exist, be they due to calomel or climate. This fact has been exemplified the past week 1n the entire unanimity with which the political situation has been ignored, so far as making it a basis of Stock Exchange transactions. The long drag and increasing monotony attending the squabbles of politicians, the tergiver- sation of returning boards and the claimso! rival slectors bave eliminated trom the matter all power for good or evil, and made it as wearisome as a twice told tale, For the present, at least, stock operators have sucked the subjoct as dry as an orange, have cast it aside as a dessicated issue and are passing on in search ofa more lively topic. So important a crisis as the existing one would bave exercised European Bourses. fur months; with us it Bpeut its force in weeks. ‘Push along, keep moving,” is the motto, and the quicksilver in yho blood elamors for something new and tires of sameness, though the situation be amid “the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds,’ Politics having been given the go by and no pew sen- gation being ready at hand stock jobbers have been compelled to utilize such odds and ends of bygone in- centives to speculation as sti/l possessed some fresn- ness. Chief among these was the assurance that the railroad companies had at last come to a definite and harmonious settlement of the long existing war. Al- though the hari-kari system of suicide was to bedono away with for good a “happy despatch”? was still to be afforded to all freight seeking tidewater, the only premise bein that Philadelphia and Baltimore should have the biggest bite of tue apple, through a discrimination tn their favor in the way of local shipments, Upon this agreement the market was boisted up, Central and Hudson, Lake Shore and Michigan Central being Chiefly sensitive totheimprovement. Butaday ortwo Jassed, howevor, when it began :o be surmised thatthe uew contract mizht be more glitter than gold after all, particuiarly when reports reached the street that the ‘eight agents in conclave consisted of ‘‘many men of ‘any minds” and that tuere was an ugly bitch soma- ‘here, Added to this it became known that the Com* hodore was in avery critical condition physically, and the two reporis combined worked a depressing effect upon the general market, which it failed to re~ cover from at the close of the week’s business. Per contra, while the raiiroads were growing weaker “the coal stocks grew stronger. A noval financial proj- ect, proposed by the New Jersey Central Railroad, by which something was to be made out of nothing, was suficiently plausibie to attract buyers to the shares of the company, and under the demand quotations ad- ‘vanced some ‘our per cent on the lowest price of the week, although they failed to hold entirely at the end. Delaware and Lackawanna improved in sympathy under the covering of shorts and the better prices obtained at the coal sales, but fuiled, like its side partner, to retain the whole of the advance, An up- ward turo in Western Union and Pacific Mail was not- abié only for its brevity and ultimate failure. Gold remained through the week with inconsiderable Buctuations, the attempt to force it up baving been apparently abandoned, under the pressure of rceeipts from abroad and the difficulty of carrying it, Bas‘ness closed for the week with limited dealings, anoisy half holiday putting an end to traffic early in the day. ‘THE SALES OF THE WEEK, The following table represents the opening, highest and lowest sales, regular way, of the principal stocks, during the past week, together with the number of shares dealt in:— No. of Open- High- Low- Shares, ug. est, est.

GOVERNMENT AND RAILWAY BONDS show decided improvement, and the demand by in- vestors of all kinds is encouraging, The depression in the former was at one time considerable, but the recov- ery at the close showed that parties ure always prompt in availing themselves of low prices. District of Columbia 3.65 bonds were firmer, im consequence of a exempt trom taxation. The railway mortgages were subject to a lively trade and improved in price as the result of the advance in freight rates announced»by the managers of the truok lines. STATE BONDS, In State bonds the features were a smart aivance in ‘Missouri plain six per cents on free purchases, and a decline in Louisiana consols on tne political outlook. ‘Tennessees wore lower. Considerable demand is now being made for Virginia bonds as the result of the financial condition of the State. From this it ap- pears that the total: indebtedness, September 30, 1876, was only $29,489,000. Of this amount $20,237,000 is represented by a -six per cent consol bond, which is now gelling on the market at 68%, ex matured coupon, The coupons are receivable for taxes, On the remainder of tho debt, to wit, $9,252,600, the coupons are not receivable for taxes, These are known as ‘Peeler’ bonds, Thero is to the credit of the sinking fund this year $4,986,772, which is applicable to the redempiton of the main debt, Owing tothe fact that these coupon: are receivable tor taxes the farmers of Virginia are said to be among the most active purchasers, This will account for their strength. Governor Houston has just sent a message to tho General Assembly in which he reports that the greater part of the State debt hus been adjusted in pursuance of the act of February 28, 1876, and that he confidently believes that on the reassembling of the Legislature on the 9th of January next he will be able to report a full and perfect carrying out of the settlement made by the commissioners with the holders of the railroad bonds, thus showing a complete disconnection of tne State trom all complications with the Alabama and Chattanooga Raliroad and the disastrous transactions connected with tt as well it THE WABASH RAILWAY COMPANY. Late Saturday afternoon the subscriptions to the new stcek of the Wabash Railway Company had reached: about 150,000 shares, end the stockholders were still coming in, The whole amount of Toledo, Wabash and Western Railway Company stock was $16,000,000, or 160,000 shares; consequently there are but about 10,000 shares outstanding, or $1,000,000 out of $16,000,000, This may be considered a very triumphant result for the sharcholders, who had bat thirty days to decide the matter. EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. The foreign commerce of the port forthe week was as tollows:—Imports, including dry goods and general merchandise, $4,778,539; produce exports, $5,724,257, and specie exports, $242,000.

BEPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT DIRECTORS & PLEA FOR MORK FAVORS—INABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO REPAY THE GOVERNMENT WITHIN THE TIME SPECIFIED—PROPOSITION FOR A SINKING FUND. Wastuxetox, Deo, 24, 1876. The government directors of the Union Pacific Rail- road Company have gubmitted their report to the Secretary of the Interior, in whieh they take occasion to discuss certain subjects somewhat out of the line of duties enjoined upon them by the statute, in order, as they say, to place belore the government more fully +the great national work with which they are oificially connected. They refer to the agitation immediately after the close of the Mexican war, of the subject of more specdy and direct communication with our Pacific possession, and to the Congressional legisia- tion which, as tar back as 1549, grew out of that agita- tion, und quote from the report of the joint select Congressional committee then created, and to the various schemes then considered tor uniting that ex- tended possession to the East, THE SOUTUWEST PASS ROUTE. The plan of Mr. Asa Whitney tor connecting the two extremes of American territory via the Southwest Pass, was made the subject of severe criticism in that Teport. The route wus declared impracticable; too ex- pensive; the proposed route lay for hundreds of mil through a barren waste; there was no fuel on the line; no water; tue claim that travel and freight between China, Japan, India and Europe would reach New York by such a route was pronounced fallacious; the way traillc would amount to nothing, &c., &e. The directors say that experience bas played havoc with this report of a very learned commute. As months and years went by and as Eastern emigration found its way into our Western possessions, developing their wondrous resources and unfolding their fabulous wealth, te reasoning of that report came to be uiis- trusted and disregarded, and public opinion pro- | nounced strongly im favor of the consiruction of this road, FRUCTION OF THE ROAD. Jou hastened the nation forward vniting the two oceans by rail, Ss wave It Mubificeut assistance, and, ouce cam- menced, the work could not go on fast enough to salisly the longings of pegple for its compivtios pleted by Jury 1,1 This requirement was anc: pated by more than five years, Tue road traverses that part of the cuntiuent at first reported against as the most wild, varren and forbidding.

Dur- ing the past season, from Texas alone, 122,000 cattle wore distributed along this line. In this desert tue company have discovered abundance of water and fuel, avd during the past year mined for their own use anu for general consumption 227,644 tons of coal at an average cost of yl 65 per ton. From the mineral de- posits wlong the line of the road comes no sinhll share of its swelling trailic, and during the past three years one sinelting company has shipped by the line gold and silver builion amounting to over $7,500,000. ‘The ‘mails of China, Japan and Lodia, as also ot Australia and Engisnd, ure conveyed over this road, the British government sending Australian maiis amounting to about 180 sacks east and 250 sacks west each month. By this road during the past four ears $33,000,000 worth of tea ave been conveyed irom San Francisco to the Eastern cities, ana $1,500 000-worth o: silk. The directors see no good reason why the commerce of the Paciilc Ocean should not fall under the control of the United States.

PROSPRCTS OF PAYMENT. The directors hold that whatever comes of the dis- putes between the government and the company the latter must provide tor the payment or retunding of ge bonds, The hen of these bonds 1s the goverument. It is not 0 pay these, and pay ament by the close of the tuirly years term of the subsidy, and it would be wise Jor te government aod the company to apree upon the establishinent of a sinking iund, which shall re- duce the total indebtedness of the company to the gov- erument at the end of the term to $2,000,000, which could be done without deranging (he company’s affairs, und leave earnings tor reasonable dividends on the cap: ial stuck.

The dire tors believe this would vo a sace and popular security, and that the best interests of both government and company would be promoted tucrevy. THE FOREIGN MAILS.

A Hrnap reporter visited her. last evening, and, the captain being absent, be was shown to the officers’ mess room, Where be found Second Officer Kisemacher. Tbe ehip’s otficers were celebrating Christmas Eve, with a sore spot in their hearts because they were not at “Hamburg an der Elbe." Second Officer Kasemacher then told the following story: —“We jeft Hamburg on the 6th inst, avd Havre on the 8th, with a full cargo, bound for New York, in company with the Compagnie Generale ‘Transatlantique’s Steamship the Labrador. Soon after leaving France the weather became very stormy, aud on the third day trom Havre one of the most terrible gales that t ever experienced broke upon ts; In fact, it was a per- fect hurricane. The ship rolied beavily, while heavy Seas constantly brok» over us The davits of boa three and five, on the starboard, were broken by a sea (they are of strong, welded tron) and the Soats driven aft on deck, when they were secured, but, of course, in a dilapidated condition, while several of the other bouts were started trom’ their positions, Our iron flagstaff of neariy three iueh iron was broken off ike a pipesiem; skylights were brokea and side lights car- ried away’ by the waves, which ran mountains | high, As long as 1 live 1 shail never forget that day, Commodore schwenson was con- stuntly on deck, and apparentiy never fatigued. Dur ing this terrible day Third Officer Leuble and myself had a providential pe from being washed oll the bridge, and if we had not beld oo “like grim death,” would have been. pmodore says it is the heaviest weather be mbers in bis 116 trips across the Atlantic. In twenty-lour hours we only Tan eighty-Hive miles, or a little over three anda bait miles an hour, {he Pommerania behaved, as she always does in heavy weatber, splendidly. From that day to eur arrival here we had gales of termble in- tensity from southwest to northwest. The cargo 1s not damaged in the slightest, and is d'y as a bone.” COLLISION IN THE RIVER, er rem On Saturday morning the ferryboat Alaska, of the Grand strect line, collided with a flatvoat used to curry the [rent cars of tho New York, w Haven and Hartford Railroad Company. This vessel was being towed to pier 60 by the tugboat Thomas Walsh, and when opposite pier 62 the Aluska, which had ieft the ship, struck her amiuships, roiling into the water two of the freight cars on board, but, fortunately, causing no loss of life, The deek bands succeeded in securing the other cars, and the boat was lowed to the company’s pier without sustaming any further damage. Cuptain Coleman, who was in charge of the tugboat, claims that the usual signal was given on the approach of the Alaska. As po notice seemed to be taken of it he repeated the signal and ‘reversed bis engine as soon us collisiov appeared to be imminent. The ferryboat, however, kept on her way and siruck the freight boat while she was being backed.

A SINGULAR STORY OF DOMESTIC INFELICITY IN THE WEST. [From the Madison (lowa) Plaindealer.} ‘A few days ago there arrived at Burlington, via the Cedur Rapids and Minnesota road, a mdn and woman whom it appears were married and were en route tor Quincy, Il, As Burlington is the terminus of the above mentioned road a change of cars and the pur- chase of new tickets were necessary to carry them to their destination. ‘The man looked rather verdant and honest minded, and trom the way he munaged things he didn’t deceive his looks very much. The woman was young, pert looking, rather propossessing in appearance and con- versed fluently and intelligently. When the train was nearing Burlington the fellow gave his pocketbook, which contained the sum of $60, to the keeping of his fair companion, remarking, “You had better take this, a8 you have travelled more than 1 have, and are better up to the ways ot the world’? To this she readily consented, and when thoy arrived at Burlington she procured the tickets and they took the first train tor Quincy, ‘At the proper time the conductor came around to coilect fare and take up tickets, and when he reached tho iteresung couple she gave up the tickeis, ove reading “Quincy” and the other “Lomax,” this being the way sue bought the tickets In order to perfect pianos to get rid of bim atthe latter piace.

The iellow took bis tor Lomax, without taking notice of the game sho was playing on “bin. " ‘Time flew on, and so did the train that was bearing them, and just belore the train reached Lomax the conductor told the Jellow that was bis place to get ofl. ‘This was news to the fvllow, who, in the bewilder- ment of the moment, exclaimed :— “Why, bave we arrived at Quincy already ?”” “No sir,” replied the conductor, “this is Lomax, where your ticket runs out.” “Look here, ‘conductor, you must be mistaken, This 18 my wiie, and we're both going to Quincy.” Right here he received the first evidence of bis wile’s fidelity, by ber breaking out with these words:— “Indeed Lam not your wife, and you had better get off iere, as I shali not pay your way any further. You ought to be ushamed of yourself, aman lke you, try- ing to sponge your way on a poor lone woman,” At this pomt the fellow burst into a of tears, and demanded an explanation of her conduct and the cuuse of her sudaco disloyaity, asserting “You are my wile, und here among strangers, in a sirange land, do you intend to desert me, and leave me alone to weurn le Juss of the only woman I ever loved in this world ?’” &o., ke.
