FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL ‘Review of the Week—The Stock Market, in Some of [ts Specialties, Firm and Active. GOLD HIGHER. Money on Call Easier—Government Ponds Rising in Vaiue—Railway and State Bonds in Better Demand—Mining News. Wate Strexr, } Suxpay, Jan, 14, 1877, Auother woek has slipped by without the occurrence dn financial and political affairs of any event sufficiently important to make an impressiun on the stock mar- ket. Changes in valuos have accordingly been few, ‘and such as have happened were due to circumstances that originated almost wholly within the wails of the Stock Exchange. The most notable one is that which ‘bas occurred in the case of Lake Shore, Since Mr. Vanderbilt's death thts security has withdrawn gradu- ally under a cloud—a cloud not much bigger than a 's hand, it is true, but sufficiently threatening to trighten away old frieuds for fear of a possible burst, and to attract now enemies, who, like wreck- ers° at sea, grow fat on disaster. It was popularly supposed that the Commodore had so tied up his railway property thateny chance of an im- portant amount of shares coming upon the market was out of the question, and this belief backed up the opinion that speculation in them was unusually safe, When it turned out, however, that the provisions bf the will required no restrictions of this nature, that the investment in Lake Shore shares was of a com- paratively moderate amount, and that Mr. Vanderbilt would be likely to concern himsclt chietfy about the Central and Hudson property, there urose a feeling of distrust which brought stock to market and with it & marked aecl ne in value. From the bighest point of the late rise tho market price has receded some seven «per cent, and, what is more important, speculative in- terest bus receded also. But stock jobbers are the carpet-baggers of finance, and skip from one stock to another with as much jucility as those roaming patriotsdo trum State to State, hence there was nothing remarkable in the Bight of the old supporters of the favorite transferring their allegiunce to a new idol in the shape of Wesiern Union this time—the mysterious Mammon that ree ceives its breath trom heaven and uses Jay Gould aaa fovtstool, In fact this latter personage, asa victim of Unbelief, is really the main support of the whole fabric of abull movement. Like the buifer of a railroad car the magnitude of his short contracts is relied upon to take up thé shock of a too sharp decline, while at the same time it offers a reliable security upon which to have a full head of stenm and an open throttle in tho way of an advance. Pertodically a sharp urn is. given of this nature, and the past week offers the spectacle of its recurrence as seen in large transactions and a muterial increase of price, Of vourse, Mr. Gould is the bull’a-eye of the target, or, more properly, the target of tho bulls’ eyes, But there \s little evidence of his having yet been seriously hit, Mthough the wiseacres of the Board insist that he has covered largely, It has been no uncommon trick for this “slithy tovo’’ to sail along in company with tne bull squadron, and, when the time came, to throw overboard lis cargo berore his adversaries could sturt their hatches, and it may occur again thut the present pool wiil find themselves encumbered with more flot- gam and jetsam of cash stock than they will Gnd it convenient to carry. It certainly woula appear that Gould !s not in rapid retreat, judging trom the dispo- sition of his brokers to put out seller 60 options as prices harden, In a limited way Illinois Central bas attracted atten- tion from ite mercurial fluctuations, which have had, backward and forward, a range of seven points Its futare is belioved io be unpleasantly black, and, as holders realize the situation, long stock is forced for saleat figures which receive but little resistance trom the small short interest existing. In general terms the rest of the list remained at meurly unchanged prices, although at ovo time the eflort to restore the old compination gave life and higher figu: to the coal stocks, The buoyancy faded away, however, when there was found to be a bitch in the negotiations, and they have taken a back deat until something fresh turns up, THR TRANSACTIONS 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:— Wo. of Open- High- Low.

The aggregate importations trom January 1 to December 31, 1876, were $305,464,638, wdocrense of $35,193,931 as compared with 1875, and $88,204,813 as compared wita 1874; or, going back to 1873, a decreaso trom the aggregate of that year amounting to $93,101,198, Specie is the only item in which there !s any tuorease, and the excess here was made during the Jast fivo months. ‘the year’s receipts amount to $26,217,888, or nearly 100 per cont greater than the total for 1875, and is $29,814,600 in excess of the imports during 1874. In the entries direct for consumption the decrease ts $20,634,200 and $48,041,786, respectively, as compared with 1875 and 4874 GOVERNMENT HoNDs, ‘The dealings in this class of securities have been unusually apimated and on a large scale, among the Prominent purchasers being banks on the Pacific coast, who have taken round million lots. Individuals and local financial institutions are likewise investors, and the result is an advanco in prico trom 3g tu 13 per cent, The highost quotations were current at the close, RAILROAD WONDS were active and in the main higher. It is evident that a more confident feeling is springing up in connection who have heretofore boarded their capital from fear of disaster-are beginning to take advautage of low prices and a golden opportunity, STATE BONDS were also in better demand, and improvement is nouceable tn nearly al! the issues. Soath Carolinas Louisiana consols, Florida gold bonds, Missouris and Tennesees each came in for its share of business, ‘and dealers who mnake these secur & specialty express themselves hopeluily concerning their future in view of the moro favorable outiook of political afluirs. Some of the States, as well as the general government, are moving in the matter of funding their debts at a lower rate of interest, the high credit of all the solvent States warranting and facilitating this movement. Tho latest case in point is found in the message of Governor Hardin, of Missouri, who recommends tho substitution of five per cent for six per cent bonds, setting forth many cogent reasons for the advisability of such a step, and showing that a five per cent Mis- souri bond ought to sell at par within a year, if not immediately, The Governor also urges for the same reasons that all new bonds of the State shall bear only five per cent interest. MISING NEWS, Considerable interest is telt by Eastern shareholders sn the present and future of the Consolidated Virginia mine, which heretofore bas been the great bonanza. From California advices we learn the following facts, viz :—That the January dividend is not likely to be paid; that work has been impeded at almost every step by unforeseen accidents; drifts have been cavod in, winces blocked up by falling earth, water bas rushed 1, foul air and bad ventilation—all have con- tributed to hamper operations, Add to those the de- lay in opening up the lower levels and we have cer- tainly a number of reasons for the temporary suspen- sionsol dividends. The bullion product for the pas, throe years in round numbers hus been as follows, out of which dividenis have been paid us annexed :— 1874, bullion product... $4.9" 1876, bullion product 16,731, 1876, bullion product. . 16,288, Total product. 7,999, 100 1874, dividends 2,592,000 1875, dividends, . 11,448,000 1876, dividends, . 12/960, Total dividends, .......seeeeeee eee eee ««927,000,000 Leaving nearly $11,000,000 for the three years’ ex. penses and whatovor may be now on band. Finally, New machinery, new milis, a new shaft and other improve- ments have been provided, and these, together with the discount on buliion and milling aud mining ex. penses, will pretty nearly eat that up. Take the last year alone asan example, The mine bas produced about $16,400,000; dividends paid, $12,960,000; left tor ex- penses, $3,440,000. ‘The Mariposa tunnel is in 2,480 feet. The company have out and on hand about 800 tons of first and seo- ond class ore. They aro fixing more mills to work the large amount of ore on hand. The amount of coinage of gold and silver at the San Francisco Mint for the year 1876 was $42,704,000, .Out of that amount $4,447,000 was the coinage for the month of December, DOMESTIC MARKETS.

REVOLUTIONARY OUTBREAK IN THE PROVINCE OF ENTRE B10S—-POSITION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, Buxxos Ayres, Doc. 2, 1876, General Ricardo Lopez Jordan, the reputed assassin of Geveral Urquiza and who failed in an armed revolt Against the vational government in 1870, bas again Janded in the province of Entre Rios and issued his proclamation, catling upon all loyal Entre Rianos to join his standard and fight to the last for the liberty of their oppressed and untortanate province, The contagion has also affected the adjoining State of Corriontes, but the reports of the success are as yet meagre, Active measures have been adopted to prevent tho further spread of the conspiracy, Numerous arrests among prominent political parties have been made, in- cluding, 1t 18 said, the two Generals Mitre. ‘The plan was to originate in Concepcion del Urugnay, the capital of Entro Rios, the conspirators to ovor: power the ‘Guarda provincial,” surprise the Eleventh battalion of the line (in garrison there), and assassinate the Governor and other persons of importance, to roalize which a number of expatriated chiets and officers, who had resided on the Uruguay side, crossed over to Entre Rios, togethor with Lopez Jordan.

WILL THE CONTRACT FOR THE WIRE BE UN- FAIRLY AWARDED ?—AN OPEN LETTER THAT MUST BE ANSWERED. 1¢ ts evident that at the special meeting of the Board Of Trustees, called for this altervoon, something of par, ticular impor(auce is to be transacted with regard to the great bridge enterprise, ‘The all-engaging subject ig now the cable contract, and only on Thursday last a regular meeting of the Board was held, when, on mo- tion of Comptroiler Kelly, the bids tor turnishing wire were left open for ten days further, But a special meeting is bere called, and trom all that has been learned the proceedings may take the form of a rapid | coup d'état, A tendency has suddenly devel- oped itself among some of the trustees toward tho use of crucible steel instead of Bessemer, | and if such .a determination 18 expressed by | the majority to-day it need occasion no surprise, This is evinced in a measure by the suddenness of the | call for the meeting this afternoon and the equally rapid change of sentiment which may confidently bo expected. Had the use of Bessemer steel been found favorable there is littio doubt that the contract would have gone to the Roeblings. Tho fact that tho samo manufacturers putin a bid on crucible steel wire Ought not to be forgotten at this particular juncture. The best wishers of the enterprise have feared for | some time that other considerations than that of best constriction might influence those in charge of the enterprise, ‘The HekALD has strenuously op- posed any inconsiderate action in a work, of such magnitude, aud has given voice to those of good judgment who believed that important errors had been, or might be, committed. Both Mayor Ely ana Comptroiler Keily signitied by their actions at ‘the last meeting that they were not entirely satisiied with the proposed method and material for construct- ing the cables, It is now strongly assorted by many well informed persons that lor the Board to hastily conclude a co ‘tract before the requirement tially understood would be to incur pubile a possibly bitter censure in the futuro.

Stranahal — “The business of to-morrow’s mneceting will of course, refer to the wire contracts, but what particulur action will be taken | cannot stato,” “Will Comptroller Kelly’s motion to leave open tite bids be reconsidered 1” “L cannot state that cither,’? “Is this not rather soon to call a meeting when the Board was in session only Thursday lust?” “Lhe meeting is a special one, and 1s doubtless called with a View of saving time, That isa very im- portant consideration in the work, We are already paying $40,000 a month interest on money expended; We huve no way ol improving our investment; to streteh thes cables will occupy probavly two years anda half, and under these circumstances every day ig of importance aud cach delay 18 to ve deprecated.” “What is tho sentiment in the Board as to the re- spective merits of crucible or Bessemer steel in tho manufacture of wire?” “Opinion upon that subject,’? said Mr. Stranahan, “has Leen about equally divided; but 1 think thee will be more unauinity in the meeting to-morrow.” THY ENGINEE: PROBLEM, “Have you read the discussions upon the engin * ing questions that have appeared in the HxRaLD ??” “Yos; 1 nave read all that the Hxxanp bas pub- Mshed im that regard. 1 look upon these issues, how- ever, as of wore importance in detati than in general, Engineers, as a class, naturally desire that a work should be periectly pertormed; but those who hold the purse strings prefer that it should be done economically, Both are at times liabie to carry their views lo excess, but there should be a me- dium ground between them,’” “May L ask, Mr, Stranavan; in the matter of stecls which is your preference jor this purpuse ?”” “For my own part, I believe that the Bessemer stcel would be sulticiently sale, as itcertainly would be more economical," “Would thero be any time lost by a little fuller dis- cussion of this subject 1?” “1 tyink the whole matter will be settled in to-mor- row’s meeting. The proceedings will be snort, and probably decisive.” A CALM, FAIR AND CONCI8BE CHALLENGE, To rus Eviror ov tHe Herarp:— I bave endeavored by means of a pamphlet, now in the hands of every trustee of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, to call attention to the defects in their specitications for ‘steel cable wire’? and to dem- onstrate the insufliciency of the tests proposed. No satisfactory reply to these charges bas been made by acy of the officers of the bridge. Without going into further details, 1 make now the following assertions:— First—The demands made in the frst part ot thoso Bpecitications are inconsistent with each uther, Second—Tho tests proposed are utterly insuffictent, inasmuch as they do not come up to the standard of the requirements, ° Third—Uniess there has been gross ignorance tn the Preywration of these specifications, the only purpose im allowing them to be issued in their present form ire to give inferior material an opportunity to pass inspection, 1 hold myself personally responsible tor every one of these charges, and gm ready to meet the engineers of the bridge, at auy time and place they may name, and before any board of competent engineers they may select, to prove the truth of my assertions. Il a con- tract, lor which the tuxpayers will be cailed upon to pay, should bo let before this matter iy set at rest is a juestion which I contidently leave in. the hands of the joard of Trustees. Very resapectiully, New York, Jan. 14, 1877. ALBERT HILL. C. EB, DENIED HIS RIGHTS, WHYr JUDGE SMITH THINKS HIS DUTY Is. John Stevens, avery respectable looking man, siding at No. 159 Kast Twonty-sixth street, was ar- raigned at the Fifty-seventh Street Police @burt yestor- day charged with the attempted larceny of two bushels of coal, valued at fifty conts, Two tons of coal were unloaded on the sidewalk for another resident of tho house, but the man employed to put it in insisted jt was for Stevens, He said at first that the coal was not his, but subsequently ordered the man to put the coal into bis bin in the -cellar, Two bushels had been put inthe bin when Calvin A. Watson, the dealer trom whom the coal bad been obtained, stopped the further delivery of the coal to Stevens and caused his arrest on acharge of larceny. Stevens said in his defence that the coal had not been ordered by him, but he thought somebody miguthave sent it to him as a present. | When the complaint against him had been drawn up he was placed at the bar to answer to the ebarge, and Judge Smith asked him what he had to say. He asked in return what the charge was, and said he would like tho Court to read the complaint to him. Judge Smith declined to read the charge, but said that when the prisoner’s counscl, if he had any, should come, he would give him the papers. He (Judge Smith) was vot there to read charges to prisoners, and «lt he wanted to know from the prisoner Was, in What court he wished to be tried. The prisoner again asked to have the com- plaint read, as he did not understand it, and the Court simply ordered bail in $300 to be taken. ‘The bail was given and the prisoner went his way, AUDACIOUS BURGLARS, Five minutes after the employés of Sloane & Black, importers of Irish linen at No, 121 Franklin street, had left the store on Saturday vight a wagon was driven up to the door and two persons alighted (tom it, They hurried up to the entrance and one of them set to work with a lot of burglars’ tools to pry open the door, Sarah Elizabeth Donahue, who resides di- rectly opposite, at No. 122 Franklin street, bad her attention drawn to the mysterious actions of the new arrivals, and when she saw them fumbling with the door-lock she concluded they were burglars. When ber brother James reached home sbe acquainted him with her suspicious and he burried off to the Leonard sireet | station house to give the alarm. Ip the meantime Sarah noticed the two men carrying varivus packages out of the butiding into whieh they had m: effect an entrance, and, going into the street, man she saw lounging near by that the strangers were burglars and urged bim tointerfere, This man, who was an accomplice, hurried up to the store, ga the alarm, and hurried off with his confederat about $2,000 worth of goods which they had to the wagon. WRAPPED IN THE FLAG. About two o’clock yesterday afternoon, as Officer | Feeny, of the Church street police station, was patrol- | ing Washington Morket, he beard a slight notse in the | restaurant of Schmultz & Steors, No. 47 Fulton row.

A Suit Against a Prominent Real Estate Owner, BUY OR MOVE ELSEWHERE. Acase is on the calenaar of the Superior Court for trial to-day betore Judge Speir which involves iasucs Of the first importance tv real estate owners in this city. It is a case also that materially affects the in- terests of « lurge number of residents im the best quarter of the city, and one mm which the feelings of many besides those perzonaily concerned are strongly enlisted, Both in its imtripsic importance, then, and in the special character of the attendant circum. stances, it deserves to be laid fully before the public, avoiding, a8 far ag possible, any statement which might be construed as an opinion or prejudgment upon the facts ws they are to be presented in cour, Before entering into the details of the case, however, it may be briefly out- lined as follows:—A_ livery, stable has been erected on Filty-third street, between Fifth and Madi- son avenuos, set in among some of the finest private residences on the island, causing an immediate dete- rioration in the market value of adjacent property, aud threatening, a8 soun as rented, to become a nuisance to the whole neighborhood. A suit nas been brought by the owner of the property immediately adjacent to obtain an injunction against the lease of this building for a livery stable, on the ground that its use for this purpose would be an imiringement of the rights of residents on the street and would come clearly under tho head of public nuisapces, It will be held, besides, that certain vorbal pledges, or agre ments, said to have been given by the owner of th Property, will operate practically us an estoppel upon its conversion tothe use designed, This is a rough outline of the case, which may now be given in its fuller torm. ‘THE LocaLity, Mr, Maturin Livingston, residing at No. 30 West ‘Twenty-fourth street, is the owner uf the property in question, which consists of lots Nos, 2 and4 Kast Filty-third street and a large red brick stable, four stories in height, recently built upon them, St, Thomas’ church is thus nearly opposite, and among the resi- dents in the immediate vicinity aro to be found such names as Moran, Watson, Hamilton, McAlpine, Sea- man and others. A more unwelcome accession to the handsome residences which line this street than o gleaming red brick front stable, with its inevitable ascessories of oflonsive noises und odors, can hardly be imagined, Why it was erected there would appear to be a mystery which requires explavation, aud when the case 1s fully stated the mystery remains up, solved except Upon assumptions so uncompliinentary to Mr. Livingston that there may well be great hesita- tion in making them. MRS, REED'S STATEMENT, Mrs. Sylvanus Reed occupies Nos, 6 and 8 upon this street us @ private residence, baving removed to this part of thecity from her former residence upon Park uvenue and Thirty-cighth street, Before making this change she inquired carefuly in regard to the owner- ship of the adjacent lots and was assured by the best authority that she need be under uo apprehension of disagreeable surroundings, for the character and stand. ing of the neighboring property holders was so high that no further guarantee could be desired, Acting on this assurance she leased the lots and began the erve- tion of an elegant and commodious building, suited to the requirements of her tamily and school. When the foundations had been laid, and while the walls were in process of erection, ehe declares that sho received a visit from Mr. Livingston, the owner of the adjacent lots, and it was represented to her that she should make a change in the plan of her building. Mr. Livingston as she says, told her that he was intending to erect o large granite bouse, with low stoops, upon his lots, and that it would be necessary tor ber to bring tor- ward the tront wall of her house and alter the arrange- ment Ol 1s stoops, Unless she was content to be left ip an inconvenient and distiguring position. Upon this representation, alter vainly endeavoring to 1uduco Mr, Livingston to reconsider the design of his pro. posed building, Mrs, Reed, at great expense and iu- couvenience, made the alterations thus necesstiated and conlormed her house to the tuste of Mr, Living- ston, A STARTLING SURPRISE, Her bouse was soon completed, bus Mr. Livingston, to her profound astonishment, appeared to have tor: gotten his proposed granite Mansion and made propo- sitions inetead to sell the lots to the property owners upon the street, or committee of them, for $65,000, “This offer’ =was mado last June, and the residents to whom it was pro- posed feit th to ask such # sum tor the lois was a@ virtual forcing of the market at the time, and, consequently, declined to purchase. Meanwhile Mr. Livingston had engaged a well known butider, Mr. Naylor, to erect the present livery stable on these lots, Dire. Reed und the other residents became now justly concerned about the growing injury to their estate und Mra, Reed’sson was commissioned to follow M Livingston to Newport, and offer him $10,000, it he would permit the alteration of the new building Inte | private residence. ‘This offer w. subsequent offer made by her to lease the .new build- tng, paying @ ground rent of $3,000 and a house rent of seven per cent upon tno cost of an appropriate build- ing for the use of a young ladies’ school, Suil another proposition was made by the neiguboring property owners to Mr. Livingston, offering to buy the Jots at such @ valuation as should be set ugen them by disin- wate experts, and this apparently ft rejected. court, however, that an intimation reached these gen Uemen that if $25,000 could be raised to procure tue alteration of the building the design would be changed and @ handsome residence erected imstead without further trouble. No notice was taken of this extraor- dnary commupicayon, but Mr. Livingston was lett to hasten on the building of bis stable, trusteos of Dr. Robinson's Memorial church and ail the gentiomen residing in the neignvorbood united in a Courteous and earnest request to Mr. Livingston that he would not carry his desgn into execution.
