* FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Stocks Past and Present— The Holiday Speculation. CLOSING PRICES SATURDAY. rn THE Watt Sreeer. } Moxvay, Dec. 2, 1376. The broker's strong bow may be likened to t! Christmas stocking “hung by the chimney with care,” and the broker himself to the chiid of apocryphal goodness who approaches it with mingled feelings of hope and apprehension. The toothsome bonbon and the tooting trumpet are pretty sure to be found stowed away somewhere in its depts, but the chance of dis- covery is qualifiea by the dreadtul apparition of a bup- ale of twigs, Happy ts the broker who fads no bundle of twigs ip his burgiar proof, labelled Wabasn, Onio, C., C. and L C, coal stocks ef id umne genus, while succulent sweets of a sound aud dividend payiug vature are im comfort able preponderance. It isto be leured that but few Strong boxes are tree from their disagreeable remind- ers of an unsatisfactory year, and tbe mirth of Christ- mas islikely to be chanted ma minor key struck by & notgless purse, However, brokers, as a class, are wonderfully free trom despondency, have great faith in sometning fayorabie turning up, and possess a faverable hope ip a good time coming. It is true they have been kept along time waiting, but they callto mind the proverb about the lane, be- lieve that there isa turning somewhere (perhaps all the more from veing hidden irom sight), and jog along with faith, hope and charity pervading their mature and lighting up the rugged way. Brokers are handy, too, at expedionts, amd are not slow to attempt new ones where old ones fail. The blunder committed about a year back in advancing the rates of commis- sions, or, in other words, in striking for higher wages, ata timo when the price of all kinds of labor was boing reduced the whole country through, has brought with it the fruit of its own folly. The direct effect was to legislate away from the Board what litule outside business existed. It is now proposed to legislate it back again by a plan of equally doubtful efficiency The project which a sub-committce have {n charge is to permit speculators, on payment of $500 per an- num to the treasury of the Board, to have their orders executed at oue-half the prosent charge, thus favoring the large operator and discriminating against the pmall one. We are not prepared to say how the scheme will work, though it may be worth a trial. The proot of the pudding (plum, with sprigs of holly, as befits the Beason) is in the cating thereof, and the plan may be more palatable than at first appears. Up to this time the tinkering at the Commission law has been to as litle purpose as the celebrated prom- enade of the French King who first marched up the bill and then marched down again, and has not been unlike it in its system of advance and retreat. Under any circumstances it is to be hoped that next Chriat. mas will be reached under brighter auspices than the present one, and that the skies which are now over. tast will clear up under the rays of more prosperous times, CLOSING PRICES—3 P.

The Chiel, it appears, has acted upon this In- formation, the result of which was that tbis land com- pany furnished him witha printed copy ofu certificate from G. A. Dickerman, Clerk of this county, stating that the plat of Mineral City and the title deeds thereto aro filed in the Kecorder’s office for the couxty, which certificate. forwarded to Mr. W. tain Webster tbe Dickerman and asked if that was the certiticate he made. Mr. Dickerman replied as tollows:— SnerMan, Texas, Dec. 14, Danren Wensten :— Dean Sin—1 can’t say as to the truth ot falsity of my cor- tificate to the Ohio, Kentucky aud Texus Land Company, as Laid not retwin a copy, but iet it contain what it may, it was only intended by me us wreceipt for plat aud decds filed; its publication was entirely unauthorized. ‘plat of Mineral City filed fro! a if, Red mK.

We are in possession of a jetter from Stephen Young. of Mechanicsville, lowa, who is desirous of locating here wich his family. }@ says he bas purchased sev- fous in Mineral city of the Obio, Kentucky and Land Company, and wants to know if it would be advisable to erect tenant bouges on them this coming spring, and if Mineral City ts a larger place than Den- ison. Mr. Young, like thousands 0: others, have been victimized, as Mineral City has no existence only im the fertile brain of rogues who have grown rich on the credulity of its victims. This shametul swindle has been exposed time and again, and yet we notice it is still being extensively advertised in Eastern cities, and we eee the rogues are yet reaping a rich harvest. hey advertise their headquarters as veing in Croc: Dati, but we understand the paruies engaged in the Je live in Kentuky, 1t is estimated that they have rer of over 100,000 lots in the mythical city of neral, A NORTH CAROLINA TRAGEDY. [From the Raleigh (N. C.) News, Dec. 23.) Robert Ham kept a litile grocery siore at Best's eta- lon, on the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, six miles east of Goldsboro, He bad no family, and his meals were cooked and brought to him by a colored woman who lived near by. Yesterday morning, as a passenger by the North Carolina tfain relates, the col- ored woman carried Ham's breakfast to bim at the | | usual hoar, but trying the back door, throug which wily entered, ubd finding It locked, went away, pposing that Ham had not yet waked u: ing a little laser tn the morning per door Was still locked. She was surpr: it being con- widerably alter the man’s usual rising hour, and « neighbor appearing about this time she remarked upon the singular circumstance. The neignbor, upou waik- | Ing around the store, discovered a crack in the {ront door, and the door being pulled open the body of Ham was discovered iying in the middie of tbe floor, Grenched in his own gore. An examination revealed | shot bad passed through the man’s hea, Jorohead and coming out at tbe Lore was Dot examined for the whether or no anything was missin, bat the doors were closed notil Coroner Kirk, who was immediately sent for, could arrive from Goldsboro, This was the situation ard these the facts that bad been developed when our informant, who arrived here at balf-past twelve yesterduy, passed Best's station tn the Suspicion rests upon no one thus far, The inquest may elicit something or it may not, A SERIOUS CHARGE.
