It is nevertheless truo that for some days back tho market has been subject to regular variations as desoribed, and to-day has shown no excep- tion to the rule, Thus business started off under the full head of steam which had been worked up last night, and was promineutly affected by the course of the coal stocks, and of New Jersey Central particularly, this lattor having opened at 13g per cent Detter than it had closed the day previous, From the polnt of 2745 it quickly worked its way ‘to 23%, thon fluttered about in the doldrums of constantly chunging figures, and fiually brought up at 26%; for closing sales.

There was an advance of }4 in Union Pacific sinking tunds and Morris and Essex sevens of 1871, and 3g in the Rock Island sovens, Lake Shore irsis and North Missouri firsts. The Milwaukeo and St. Paul bouds wero strong at yeaterday’s advance. Com- paratively little was dono in New Jorsey Central bonds; the firsts, new, sold at 101%, ex interest, against 105 bid yesterday, with interest on; the con- solidated firsts sold at. 77; yosterday’s closing was 7e3, u 78 Lebigh and Wilkesbarre wore quoted at the Board at 55 a $734, with no sales; yesterday’s closing quotation was 55 bid.

Itas possible that the company knows its own busl- ‘ness (though in the light of the past year’s history ono may be excused for doubting it} and has good reason for keeping its affairs as mum as an oyster, but it is nevertneless apparent that such a course is pre- Judicial both to its own credit and to the intercet ot stockholders, while it ig encouraging to cowans and eavesdroppers, who are temptod to listen at keyholes for information that belongs to tho public ear, The othor anthracite properties followed the Jersey fancy in close imitation, but were more moieratuly affected in the way of fluctuations, though the dealings In Delaware and Lackawanun wero even heavier, The influence of the coal stocks was clearly discern!- ble in Luke Shoro and Western Union, which fluo- tuated within the bounds of % per cent, and were more animated than yesterday. There was evidence thatthe California and Exchango court parties were again having a band at the bellows, while the priyi- leged operator of William street, who speaks with aq 60,000 share anthority, Was no stranger to transactions in Lake Shore, St Paul preferred offored fewer attractions to-day than on yesterday, with diminished dealings, ant at 1 per cent lower range of figures, This is not surpris ing ip view Of the anaoual report for 1876, which, 1n ree spectwto the meagre business now being dono by the road and likely (o bo done for some months'to come, is not promising of satisfactory results. | Perhaps the most important, as well as agree- ablo sensation of the day was tho break in gold to 104%, this being the lowest point touched since Jane, 1862, ‘The closing price was, however, 105 bid, some little strength being given to the premium by tho stiffening of Jureign exchango and by a moderate desire to cover shorts at a price which looked unattainably low when the contracts were made.

NNER tac INSURANCE TROUBLES, FATE OF THE SECURITY OFFICERS TO BR KNOWN TO-DAY—THE CONTINENTAL RECEIV< ERS’ BONDS. ‘There was quite alullin the lite insurance excite- ment yesterday, and no new developments of im- portance were made. Preceding ovents, however. have furnished plenty of food for speculation, Ex- Pectution regarding the rumored indictment of the Security ollicers may be satisiied to-day, when the Grand Jury makes {ts report. Should the men be criminally prosecuted it will pave tho way, 1s is thought, for similar action against the officers of the New Jersey Mutual and Continental, There ts considerable inquiry as to tho whereabouts of President Stedwell, of the foriner company, He is stated, at the branch office of the company, to have gone to Washington, bat some persons are of the opinion that wheu wanted he may not be discovered, President Frost’s Southern trip is also a matter of considerablecomment, It seems moro than likely that his presence will ve required at the proceedings belore Referee Do Witt in the early part of next week, In the Butler reference case, on Wednesday last, mach ado was made about the transfer book and stock ledger of the Continental, which could not be pro- duced, After tho adjoarnmeny of the examination search was mado in the office, and the important rece ords Were discovered in an unexplored corner, Some experts were yesterday occupied tn examining them, and altogether tt is likely that the documentary affairs of the Concern will be very well understood in the end, It ws believed that the deficit will prove much larger than was estimated in the statement of Receiver An- derson, Many of the securities, like those of the New Jersey Mutual, ore thought to be fictitious, THK WORK OF EXAMINATION, The Mutual Lite Insurance Company aid to have passed triumphantly through tue crucible, and an official report to that effect will be made. Receiver Appleby, of the Motrepolitan Fire Insur- ance Gr Lge expects to comple: Us his report withia. afew days, In Boston yesterday a receiver was ap- pointod tor the Builders’ Insurance Company.

No policies can be issued until the national capital certificates are sent on, RRCEIVER ANDERSON'S NONDS, Justice Gilbert, of the Kiugs couuty Supreme Court, made an order on the 29th of Junuary last requiring Mr. John J, Anderson, receiver of the Continental Lite Insurance Company Of this city, to file a new bood with two sureties in $200,000 each, the sureties to be in no manner connected with the tusurance company. Justice Pratt, of the Kings County Supreme Court, granted an order yesterday morning Yequiring Mr. Anderson, the receiver. to procure the new bondsmen and file his new bond within twenty-tour hours, or give some reason why his removal from the position of receiver should not take “eae NON-TAXABLE .E CITY Be BONDS, Riversipgs Park axp Nixetiete Street, New Yor, Jun. 31, 1877. To Tux Epiron or tuk Hxraty:— I, a8 an interested party, am pleased to seo you advocato Alvord’s bill relating to consvlidating and ex+ tending tho bonds of any city, town or county, put in order to make the vill fully effective the bonds must bo non-taxable. If the truth were known pron not five per cent of the entire bonded debt of the 3 ous localities to which this bill is intended to taxed, Then why continge such a fooligh policy whew we well know that every time a debt Is contracted by any town, county or city inthis State they pay ong per cent per annum, at least, for fear of taXation and get néthing back? Ifwopald one per cent for fear and received back a hke sum from taxation the debtor and credit side would be equal, but such ts not the case, * ‘The consequence Is that these obligations are genere ally taken by life insurance companies and savings banks (who are not taxed), and in this manner create a monopoly, and from fear, alone of taxation prevent private citizens trom subscribing to the bonds, In order to insure u change of short bonds to long ones boaring a lower rate of interest you must ofler something more than time simply to induce a change or the inducement will not be suillcient. Make the bonds non-taxable and success ts certain beyond all pers adventure, We logo nothing by it as we gain compare atively nothing from taxation, Probably not $5,000,000 of our whole city debt is taxed, and tne proportion is # in the country, ayor Wickham lately said at the meeting held at the Mayor's office that he did not know of any ono who would exchange « short bond bouring six or seven per cent interest fora long one bearing live per cent, Neither do I, unless they contain the noa-tuxable fea- tures, ‘The tact is that neither town, city nor county bonds should over be taxed, and, farthermore, any other evi- dence of debt, To doso 18 to tax ourselves, which never pays. Now the object of bee writing this long letter 1 that the Henan will take the initiative in this matter by advocating long, consolidated, non-taxable bonds in exchange for the hybrids we now have, ‘ Tt will save, if done ag you say, from $1,000,000 ta $2,000,000 per annum.
