- Pewter a ‘ ' \ \ i i} ¥ * « FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Review of the Week—An Irregular and Eccentric Stock Market. THE DECLINE IN GOLD. A Sharp Investment Demand in Government and First Closs Railway Securities— The Vagaries of the Money Market—Mining Items, Wat Street, } Sunpay, Jan, 7, 1847. Coincident with the advent of the New Year comes the birth of a fresh twelvemonth to the Stock Ex- change. Though it cannot be claimed that the finan- cial bantling bas made its appearance in a very robust form (lor ante-natal imopressions were prejudicial to such 4 condition), still it is to be hoped that a naturally strong constitution will develop a more active and satisfactory year than the one we have just buried out of our sight. Nor are there wanting hopetul sponsors at the baptism of the New Year who confidently “promise and vow throe things in its name’’:—First, Increased railroad earnings, trom a faithful adherence to the new contract; second, political peace, which will again set going the wheels of trade, and third, an emergence from the shadow of the hard times which has so long settled upon the country. 1t was some- what of this feeling, perhaps, which started off the ‘week just passed with a contident tone and preserved it, ¥‘th some modulations, to the end, Tuesday and Wednesday were notable for tho great strength of the market and the particular vigor mani- fested in the great trunk roads and in the coal stocks, It commenced to be crodited that something would * grow out of the railroad conference alter all, particu- larly when it became known that the chief officers had taken tho matter out of the hands of impossible subor- dinates, had agreed upon a fixed and definite plan and were willing to publish tne same openly. These facts visibly impressed the quotations of the leading roads and were reflected in the better prices obtuined for the coal stocks (those of Delaware and Lackawanna espe- cially), though these latter were helped on, in no slight degree, by vague rumors of a reconstruction of the anthracite monopoly and by a vigorous covering of shorts on the part of bears, who, early taking alarm, betook themselves to the inevitable scramble tor shares and safety. The critical condition of Mr. Vanderbilt was. a standing menace to th ability of the market and certain operators who, like Hogarth’s Idie Appren- tice, were none too good to cast dice upon a tombstone, indulged in a systematic selling of Central and Hud- Bon just before the close of the market with the hope that old mortality would act as Croupier and rake in the wages of death before morning. In this, however, they were disappointed, for when the news of Mr. Vauderbilt’s decease became known to the street it tell as lightly as asnowilake and made no more im- | pression on stock values than dves the frozen crystal ou frosty ground. In fact, after the first moment the tendency of prices was strongly upward, although the Movement was doubtless due to a previous arrange- ment by which it was sought to resist an injurious do- cline or stay a possible panic, For the rest oi the week we have only to notice a fairly steady market, in which Western Union and Obios were conspicuous for activity and strength. In the gold room we were treated to the welcome sight of a gradual but steady decline of the premium which has marked the price down to the unpreve- @entedly low figure of 106.

A015, o7* THE MONKY MARKET, Money during the week showed the influence of hard- ening rates in call loans, and was quoted at 7 per cent to gold interest, with exceptional figares as high as 1-82 por diem, Later, however, funds were uecessi- Die at5 and 6 percent. Itis believed that hereafter, owing tothe large January disbursements, there will be a freer supply of ompital and lower rates of interest, The discount market was firm at 5 and 6 per cent for prime business uotes.

THK GOLD MARKET, ‘The speculation in gold has been anything but ta Vorable to bulis, owing to Various causes, cuief amoug wiich were the large payments by the Treasury, the heavy rates tor carrying and reported orders {rom San Francisco to sell, 1118 not i:mproyable, however, that in view of @ considerable outstanding short interest Substantial parties will take hold of the market for a rise, espevialiy when mouey becomes easier.

An.important investment demsid bas manifested itself since the 1st of January in all first class seour- ities, individuals and institutions being among the buy- ers. This bas tended to stiffen the prices of govern- ments, and during the greater part of the week they were firm, yielding only atrifie near the close in sym- pathy with the weakness of gold. The business in railway mortgages also shows a healthy increase and higher figures. This is especially true of Obio and Mississippi, Hannibal and St. Joseph and others of the low priced securities. itis said that the petition to Judges Drummond and Gresham ask- ing the retention of Mr. King, Vice President of the Baltimore and Obio Railroad Company, as one of the receivers of the Ohio and Mississippi Railway Com- pany has already received the signaturos of the holders of about $7,000,000 bonds and $9,000,000 stock. State bonds have been fairly dealt in and are appar- ently growing in public favor, Missouri#, Texas, North Carolinas, Georgias aud Floridas, all have a Jarger array of frienis than heretofore, and bid fair to improve, The committee ot North Carolina bondhold- ers, of which Mr. William J. Best, receiver of the Me- chanics and Traders’ Bank, is chairman, are complet- ing their arrangements to depart for Raleigh. The committee havo arranged to conier with bondholders in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Richmond on their way, mectings having been called in those cities. The committee expect to leave New York to-morrow, and will reach Raleigh ow Thursday, The compromise to be urged by them before the Goncral Assembly relates only to the recognized debt; but the committee will do all in their power, they say, to secure a favorable hearing for the rep Mtatives of the special tax bonds, The two committees gan, therefore, act in on- tire harmony. THE WABASH RAILWAY. The success of the subscription to the new Wabash Railway stock, a8 announced in our columns last week, was, under all the circumstances, remarkable, Atter a struggle of more than a year between the Protective Committee of the stockiolders and the holdors of the gold mortgage bonds, who were striving to foreclose and wipe out the stock, the parties litigant were brought together in a common sense way and an equit- able compromise wi ranged, under which the stuck- holders were allowed thirty days to buy the fee of the property which had come ito possession of the bond- holders by foreclosure. This fee, represented by stock in the new company, was sold to the old Toledo, Wa- bash and Western Railroad stockholders, upon condi. tion that they elected to subscribe $10 per share to- ward the purchasing fund within the time specified, And now was developed the singular fact that within a mopth 150,000 shares out of 160,000, or 15-16ths of the whole capital, gatbered at the subscription office and signed the required obligations to pay $10 per share, For twelve months the chairman of the Protec- tive Committee had been vainly scouring the country with circulars and advertisements to collect the pitifu, contribution of 25 cents per share, to pay the legal expenses which were involved in the defence which has saved the stock from extinction. Less than 30,000 shares responded to the call, but at the trumpet note of success, from half the States of the Union came forth tho hosts of stockholders in grateful if not grace- tul acknowledgment of the happy result. It 18, there- fore, gratifying to be able to chronicle the settlement of tedious and expensive legal controversy, and to ‘Rote an instance where tenacity of purpose and pluck, under very disheartening circumstances, has saved a valuable property to the stockholders. It bas been od that it would be no great sacrifice to the parties interested to let tie 10,000 shares, now “lett out ln the cold,’’ into the arrangement, thus making a happy family of the entire party. The surrender of ad option to subseribe for #ix shares out of 100 is buta mere bagatejle in comparison with the satisfaction of having done a handsome thing. MINING INTELLIGENCE, The United States Monetary Commission, now on the Pacific coast, aro making the following inquiries from the different mining companies located upon the Comstock lodes— 1, Amount of capital stock, % Annual revenues of company. 3 Annual expenditures, divided into principal heads, 4. Annual product of gold and silver, separately, as ascertained from assay certificates or bullion account. 5. Inventory of property at tatest date. This information will soon be published, and no doubt will be the most complete and reliable that has ever been made public. Nevada, the Silver State, is pouring out daily $125,000 in silver, $75,000 in gold, $8,000 in lead and $2,000 in other metals, making a yield of $210,000 daily or $63,000,000 per annum, California is producing dally about $40,C00 in gold, $10,000 in silver, $6,000 in quicksilver, $6,000 in lead and copper, $7,000 in coal and fully $5,000 in iron, antimony, zinc and other minerals, Its total yield is therefore $73,000, corresponding to annual preduct from its mines of $23,500,000, Colorado is producing $15,000 in silver every twonty- four boars, $10,000 in gold and $1,000 in other miner- als, or $26,000 daily, equal to $7,000,000 yearly. Utah is credited with a daily out-put of $12,000 ih silver, $9,000 in lead and $2,000 in other minerals— $23,000 per day, or $6,900,000 per annum, Late despatch te that the Mariposa Tunnel is being run at the rate of from six to eight teet per day, and the developments on the voin continue to improve asthey advance. More mille are being pat in work- ing condition as fast as possible to crush the ore now on hand, DOMESTIC MARKETS.

PROPOSED NEW EXCISE LAW—ALL POWER TO BE VESTED IN THE CITY—EXPRESSION OF OPINION BY DIFYERENT INTERESTS, The proposed new bill to reorganize the Excise Board, the etfect of which will be to vest in the city all power concerning the regulation and euforcemont of the liquor laws, and which was published exclusively ‘In the Hgratp of Friday, bas of late excited a good deal of interest in the class which it touches most nearly, At first, however, a great many of tbe deal, ers in liquors did not appear to have much considered the bearing of its provisions, while others were so con- actions of the meffectual operation of previous laws that thoy were not disposed to held the new ones as of much account in the direction of reformation, Indi- vidual interest, of course, always operates in framing the opinions which ure expressed on these occasions, aud the hurt or advantage which an enactment will bring to a person concerned is sure to be met by either adverse or favorable criticism, It will bo recollected, at all events by those who are chiefly concerned in the matter, that in 1857 the State Legislature took control of excise regulations in the city of New York, Previous to 1855 these matters were in cliarge of the municipal authorities, and be- tween that date and 1867 the Prohibition law came into force. The new bill, which is to be one of the first movements in respect to the government of the city, proposes to restore authority in excise matters to the maonicipal government, and bas various regulations concerning the closing of licensed houses, Que of the must important of these ts that all persons having licensed houses shall close them be- tween ove o’viock A. M. and four o'clock A. M, and shall close thom during the whoie of Sundays aud election days, This secuion affects a large number of retail deaiers, and, while many of them are willing to comply with the regulation prescribing the closiug of their stores between one o'clock A, M. and four o'clock A. M., they are by no means willing to ve de- prived of the privilege of keeping open on Sundays, A large retail dealer on the west side said that he concurred thoroughly in the provision which would close the houses at night, He would have no night “houses, He would even go the extent of closing the stores ut twelve o’clock on Satur- day nights, Any fatiure in complying with this law Ue would punish, Ke said, by a fine in the first instance and by # deprivation of license in the case of the Second offence. He, however, held out for tho privilege of keeping bis store open on Sun- days, nor would he consent to any curtailment of the hours, If the houses were closed in New Yorw the money would ali go over to New Jersey, which would, he said, be thus built up at the expense of this city. The principal business on Sunday» was, he suid, in the murpings, and accordingly be did not be- hove in being obliged to close his store until alter the church services had termiuated. On the general ques- Mon of transierring excise matters to the control of the city government, he did not believe that it would work well; the city governmeat, de thought, had enough on ite hands uiready. The'provision iu the proposed bill prohibiting the sale of hquors to minors and ap- prentices under eighteen years of age without the Consent, iu the case ul un apprentice, of his muster or inlatress, or, in tue cuse vf @ minor under eighteen, of his parent or guardian, be deemed to be too arbitrary, und also thought that it required too much diserimina- tion oa the part of the vender of liquors, He also thought that it gave un opportunity to persons in- imnicully disposed to lead him into # trap. A aaloon keeper with other interests, whose establish- ment is always closed on Sundays, und never open after eleven o’clock on other nights, regarded thy mattor from a different standpoiot, He thought that the law stood a better chance of enforcement under State coutrol than if 1t were transferred to the cus- tody of the city. If he himself wished to evade #! Excise law be would much prefer to have it und city control, His reasons for the — probab! joeficiency of the new law were that the saloon keepers, who were chiefly democratic, bad a great dealto do with the election of the democratic municipal government, and wouid be, therefore, treated with a leniency which that body could hardly retuse to the chents who had placed them in power. At the same tme he thought that the country members of the Legislature had no right to legislate for the city, not veing sutfictently acquainted witn its requirements, The section of the bill providing that no liquors shall be sola to minors and approntices he thoronghly The commentary ot another d a fortune in the liquor busin one of cynical indif- ference. He had been thirty years in the business, he said, and bad heard of a great many laws which came to so little Sbat bo did not regard this one as of much account, A RUFFIAN REPRESSED, For some time past the police have been aware that some person was inserting advertisements in the diferent morning papers and insulting young ladies who answerod them. It is to the credit of one young Jady, Miss Addie Pierson, of No. 156 East Forty fourth Street, that the man who is charged with such # des- picable crime has been arrested. He gives his name as Charles J, Jones, which be now admits is an as- sumed one. From the facts in the case, as developed belore Justice Bixby at the Washington Place Police Court yesterday, 4 appeared that Miss Pierson, who is @ young lady eighteen years of age, and rather hand- some, saw inthe Hxkatp of October 29, 1876, an ad- vertisemont calling for the services of twenty eales- Indios, and requesting parties desirous of positions to address ‘Fancy Goous, box 136 Herald office.” Miss Pierson being out of employment at tho time, answered the advertisement, and received in auswer w letter purporting to come from the office of H. N, Roach, No, 31 Park row, and signed J. A, Roden, Following this came otuer letters signed J. A. Roden, No, 48 Kast Tweltth strees, making appoint. ments to meet her, and one of which contaived a sen- tence couched in the vilest terms, Miss Pierson, after consulting with the members of ber tamily, placed the mater iu the hands of an old triend, Mr. 5. Overteld of No, 62 Leonard street, who called In the services Captain Thomas Byrnes, of the Fifteenth precinct. By the advice of Captain Byrnes Miss Pierson sent a letter aying she would meet him at the corner of enue and Thirteenth street, at eight o'clock, ou Saturday evening. She went there, Captuin Byrnes remaining in the backgro.nd, Iu a few moments she was uccosted by the man who now gives bis name as Jones. He invited ver to uke a walk, aod she accom- anied him through Thirteenth ‘street, Captain yrnes following behind, Jones stopped in front of @ notorious assignation house, near Filth avenue, and asl Mixs Pierson to enter it with him. She refused, when he attempted to drag her up the stoop. Then Captain Byrnes steppea ap and arrested Lim on a charge of assauit and battery. When brought into the Mercer strect station he gave bis name as Charics J. Jones, and said he lived at No, $6 Filth avenue. In person Jones ix a fashionably dressed man, about thirty-four years old, dark mus- | tuche and gentlemanly address. “When brought up at the Washington Place Court yesterday the prisoner evinced the utmost unconcern, dv said he had writ- ton the notes, but had not inserted the advertisement, Justice Bixby said—“Is your real name Jones?” The prisoner repli jease do not ask me that question, Judge.’ Justice Bixby—"Do you Hve at No. 86 Fitth avenue?” The Prisoner—"I do not, 1 gave a w address.” Justice Bixby held the prigoner for triat ia default ot $600 bail, Captain Byrnes stated thut he had made inquiries and could not und any Mr. J.

The oificer found them coming outof the hall door of Mr Edward Richardson's residence, No, 232 West Twenty* secoud street, and arresied them. Both the boys have already been arrested on a similar charge. In their possession the officer found two skeleton keys and a pawn ticket for an overcoat stolen from a house on the same block last Sunday. Both the boys pleaded not guilty, but were held tur trial in $1,000 Dail.

WHAT HE FINDS AT HOME AFTER A FIVE YEARS’ ABSENCE ABROAD, To tux Epitor ov Tux Henatp:— I have just returned to New York after an absence of five years spent in travelling over the world. Itis useless to describe the feelings | experienced in return- ing home after such @ long absence; every American has felt them after any length of time spent abroad. But with the pleasant sensations I am sorry to say thas a great disappointment was awaiting me. Often on my way back I had thought of all the changes I would find, and how New York must have been im- proved during these five years. My fancies carried me so far that | actually expected to cross over from New York to Brooklyn on the bridge. Hélas/ Dreams wero my expected improvemeuts, and dreams | sup- pose they will remain. 1 found the same bad pave- ment, the same dirty strects, the very same dirty and crowded cars, as cold and as uncom/ortable as they were when I left, and the same exacting and tricky public carriage drivers, but no rapid transit yet, no cabs and no bridge, and my disappointment was made worse asl could not help comparing New York with many other cities of much jess importance and wealth which are enjoying all the things so much wanted here, What, above all, strikes you most is the want of convenient and cheap public conveyances, On my arrival, on leaving the steamer, in my happiness to tread again American soil, | jumped without any ques- tion into a carriage, but arriving at the New York Hotel | was asked to pay $2 for scarcely a twenty minutes’ ride. Two dolla: Why, sir, for the same money anywhere in Europe you could keep a public curriage tor tive hours, aud in Asi you could hire a palunkeen and its bearers for the wholeday, Is it really true, then, that we Americans know only how to invent and start new things which are atterwards ttn- proved and made better uy other peopiet We were the first to have street railways and cars, but they are how Just us they were when first establisned, Street cars may be found now nearly all over the world, but everywhere they are cleaner, faster and more com- fortable than here, In Paris, where they were intro- duced little more than a year ago, they are already substitating steam and hot air for ho ov some ines In Chili, where the carriages are sent trom here, ready made, they are making some changes to better suit them to the chi- Mute so as to render them more comfortable to the travetlers, The want ot proper public conveyances is immediately remarked bere by all foreigners, and badly felt by the whole community, and it seems in- gnpeenesaibe that such want has not yet been led. I can see no reason why there is wo cab company already in operation here; all such companies in Eu- rope ure paylug satisfactory dividends, so much so ‘that new compunies are projected in London and tbe one jn Paris, La Compagnie des Petites Voitures, is now issuing 4,000,000f. of obligations to increase and improve their material and rolling stock, Such ro- suits must show very favorably for an enterprise 80 tTmuch needed and wanted bere, and it 1s a wonder that it has not been established long ago, Belore leaving England to come home I heard some entiemen, Who bad spent some time here during the hiiadolpiia Exbibitiou, rewarking that one of the largest items in their general travelling expenses in this country bad been tor carriage Lire, and one of them udded that it would not be such a bad invest- mont for English capital to ish a large cab com- pany mn New York. A ‘Lo end this allow me, sir, for tho iuformation of Your readers, to give the prices of public conveyances in different purts of the world, Iwill not speak of street cars; the fares are five, six audten cents lu London, as every oue knows, for one shilling any cab or bausom will take you from one end ot the city to the other at a rapid transit pace. In Paris, tor torty- five conte during the day and fiity-five during the whole night atwo-borse and four-seat carriage will “promenade” you for one hour. In St. Petersburg, for sixty kopecks (not fifty cents) you can get a dros- ky foradrive. In Vienaa ior itty kreutzers, in Berlin for twelve silbergroschen (about twenty-six cents) you can get a public carriage. In Havana and most of the West Indies, for two reales tuertes (twenty-five cents) a volante or # Victoria will take ou from La Duana, on the Port, to the end of the asgeo de la Reina; in Mexico, for four reales (fitty cents) a two-borse carriage will take four persons to the Toros (bull fight) or tbe Yasseo Nuovo, and in Rio Janeiro 500 reis (wixty-three cents about) will procure you # carriage drive. In English India or in Cbina two silver rupees (about $1, or a trade silver dollar) ‘will get acomiortable palankeen and its beaters for the whole day, After having gone over the above carriage fares what can be said of our city, where carriage drivers willask you $2 fora two-mile ride, falling down to $lithe cannot got the $2? Only this, thutit is high time for a company of cheap cabs to be started. A RETURNED TRAVELLER, SOPHIA LYONS’ FUTURE, A SHOPLIFTER BESUMES HER ALMOST FORGOT- TEN ROLE AS A MOTHER. A few days ago a lady seated in a car on the Hudson River Ratlroad, bound to this city, might have excited some little sensation among herfellow passengers bad any of them recognized her. Although at least thirty-five years of age, she was a strikingly handsome woman. Her head was setas grandly on her shoul- ders us may be seen in busts of the Greek Juno. Hor whole bearing was notably easy and dignified; she would inevitably have beer singled out as a person of distinction, perhaps a woman with a history worth knowing. No one who saw her could fail to notice, either, her piercing and observant eyes sparkling trom under the blac. line of her brow and turning to every side with restless cireumspection, She took a hack and drove off hurriedly as soon us the tram reached New York, and her fellow travellers ay never know whom they had thehonor of ‘accompanying on that day, un- Jess this paragraph chauces to meet their eye.” This elegant lady wus the notorious Sophia Lyons, who hus the reputation of being the most dexterous and suc- cerstul woman thief in this country, und she was on bor way from 3ing Sing Prison to ber old bome in this city. RETURN TO A QUIET LIFE. The story of the appheation by ber counsel, James W. Ridgeway, tor her release, on thi detention, has been already told in the Henan, and how despondent Mrs. Lyons had become when she was informed of the ato oft its refusal. When, however, Judge Dykman fi and tho order for her release was transmitted to the Warden of the State Prison, her good spirits returved. When the order reached the prisou she was just put- ting on the convict dress of coarse blue serge prepara- tory to beginning work in the women’s shop for the day, aud at first she refused to believe in her good Jortune. When she realized, at iust, that she was indeed a free woman, she could hardly moderate | ber transports. Hastily changing ber bated p arb for the dress wore when brought tothe prison ber took the first train to this city, and issuing directions with marked de. cision and promptness. Alter remaining a day or two | in the city to arrange her affairs here and get posses- | ston of what remained to her credit in bank, she went to Montreul, where she has five children under care(ul guardians:ip. There it 1s presumed she will stay for some time, while she can conteot herself in mutrouly duties and care for her children, for whom sbe has | always shown a true mother’s devotion, It may be supposed, too, judging from bis former career, that hor husband, “Ned” Lyons, vow imprisoned at’ Auburu, wil dnd m ag notorious in his departm king as she has shown herself in the feminine and less am- bitious profession of pocketpicking.
