rrr FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIA Review of the Week—An Animated Speeulation in Stocks. THE GOLD AND MONEY MARKETS. The Course of Government, Railroad and State Bonds. PRESS eo " Watt Street, } Suypay, April 15, 1877. ‘The events of the past week have been of such Serious importance and are consequently so fresh in the minds of readers that to recount them here would be a work of supererogation, They give, however, an Qpportunity to a glance back at the causes which pre- cipitated them, It isa fact well understood by stock- Jobbers that a security which has lost ita speculative attraction is tho more susceptible to attack and at tho same time leas capable of resistance than an active ane, This condition is the more dangerous ifthe meagre daily quotations are suspected to be merely arbitrary Ones, made for @ purpose, due to the schemes of a pool and created irrespective of actual values. The matter is likely to bo worse if the state of inactivity should bave grown out of a previous close corner, or from the fact that the stock is held by few hands and these the hands of speculative directors, The Norshwestern property bas been suffering under the blight of ali these unfavorable conditions. Tho Gloae corner of some years since sent tho common stock to a financial Coventry, where to a great meas. Ure itthas remained ever since. It flared up like a volcano in eruption and has been as dead since, speca- tatively, as an extinct crater. The natural conse- quences followed step by step. A shrinkage in its ‘values was the inevitable result of the general depres- sion of trade and was not to be resisted by any artifi- celal support, though the pool which has just como to Grief stood by it bravely. It would have been better had values been allowed to take their own way, which would not have prevented shrinkage but would have prevented collapse. Unfortunately, money lenders were not in accord with the pool as to the worth of the security, and became less so when it was announced that Jay Gould had gone into the direction; then their prudence, or timidity if you will, preciptated the catastrophe. Yet with all this the Northwestern property is worth as much to-day as it was before the break—its value is simply illustrated by diderent figures. But it is not only the Northwestern people that the gods have mado mad by subjecting them to an attack of Gould upon the brain; Rock (sland has received its dose also, So far, the injury in- Ucted by Jay Gould’s presence in the direction is rather a moral than a financial one, for though it has not materially depressed prices, it has destroyod confidence in a hitherto highly esteemed security. Mr, Gould is not just tho person to permit the fingei fag of 40,000 shares, lying conveniently about, and Investors have so expressed themselves, not only by selling out their stock, but by refusing to touch the proposed new $8,000,000 loan, It will not be questioned that sixty days since this loan would have been sub- serlbed for with avidity. The bogus story which af- fected the coal stocks needs no recital here, Prices forced down under the pressure of panic were partially recovered trom, while their future is dimmed by the elouds of smoke which we are told exist without the presence of fire.

Later on, however, the market was easier, the goneral rate being 3 a 4 per cent, with exceptionsat even lower figures, Prime commercial paper is in good demand at 4a5 per cent. The rates for foreigu exchanges were as follows:— Ststy Days. Three Days.

Gold opened on Monday at 105 and closed last night at 106% alter selling at 1067;. This advance is attributable to the warlike nature of the Euro- pean nows and the docline in securities abroad. It is net, howe likely that this high rate will con- tinue, as, should war break outjand the exports of pro- duce be increased, as is generally expected, the de- mand for gola would be less and a decline in price would follow.

THE BIBLE AND THE WINE BIBBER—‘‘STORM THE YOR’ ‘The large hall of the Cooper institute was about twor thirds filled yesterday afternoon by an audience gath- cred in response to a cull of the Amorican Temperance Union to boar an address from the Rev, Dr. Sams on the subject of the “Biblo Teachings as to the Use of Wine,” apa to listen to other exercises, Tho new President of the Union, Walter Logan, presided. Dr. Samson arguod that the Sible taught the use of the pure juice of the grape, and not fermented wine which intox” jeated, “Gr trong drink to him that is ready to per- ish,’’ Was meant to imply that it should only be given as medicine in extreme cases, The miracle of Jesus taroing water into wine a wedding feast was ex- plamed by a reference to the Egyptian process of squeezing out the juice of the grape in the presence of guests ag indicative of the purity of the liqui seuted to them. When the Oxford sented to bis Professor, in de: as & beverage, that the Saviour had turued water into wii a marriage feast, the Professor suid: — “Well, my dear son, you are weicome to useall the wine that you can make out of water.” The speaker reforred to the practice of wine arink- ing im the Executive Mansion at Washington, He mentioned the fact that the late President Picree was slightly addicted to wine dripking before be became President, He could vot drink a glass without being aflected, Dr. Samson said be did not know how it ‘was With ex-President Grant, He might take a good many glusses without being aflveted, (Laugh ter.) But when President Pierce became Presi- dent he ‘solemuly promised his wile, ‘one of the noblest of women,” said the ‘Doctor, that ho would totally sain from the use of wine while be occupied the position of President of the United States. And he kept that promise. (Ap- plause,) Further soriptural quotations were given in Tegara to the use of wine, St, John was an uscouc. But Jesus sat down among the publicans and sinners, And those who sought His overthrow acclarod that He was both tho companion of the hurlot and the wine bibber. But He came from His lofty place down among common men and women, just as Charles the Twellth came aown from his throne to mingle among men, Dr. Samson regarded tho fact that Jesus had made Wine ataicust ag an evidence that -it was pot necessary to be an ascetic to he saved, Christ said:—Alter they have drank of the cap'l wil no longer drink it, until 1 drink itanew io the kingdom of heaven.” ‘The ple- ture of the close of tho lie of Christ upon the cross, when he refused the proffered touch of wine an myrrh to his parched lips, Was portrayed as au index of the true temperance principle, Archbishop Pu cell, of Ohio, bad said, “Why will’ you deny the bos man bis beer while he’ is carrying ine hod? Wine, he suid, was intended to strengthen, but the true text Was that it Was intended to cheer, while broad was in- tended to strengthen. Archbishop (uow Cardinal) McCloskey averred that it was not temperance but total abstinence tnat was to bo inferred trom the re- tusal of the Saviour to taste wine upon the cross, Dr. Lambert followed, in response to u call, and con- tinued the debate upon the topic indulged in by Rev. Dr. Samson. Mrs. Emma Gates Conklin gave original poem, entitled ‘Water Versus Whiskey’ which water got decidedly the best of it); Miss Prise cilla Smith sang a new song, written by Mrs, Conklin, entitled “Storm the Fort)’ — Storm the fort! and plant your banner O'er the traitor Put to flight Rui's hosts forever, Lay the demon low. After some other exercis WAR AGAINSI KING ALCOHOL. A meeting is to be held to-night at the church corner of Fourth avenue aud Twenty-second street to con- sider nevsures for the prevention of crime by the sup- pression of intem v THE “EXCISE EXCITEMENT, It the temperance advocates were led to believe that the decision of the Court of Appeals would tend to make dispensers of Iiquor more cautious in the ob- servance of the Sunday law, those ot them who circu- lated about the city yesterday must have been disap- pointed, That the liquor dealers fect anxious cannot be denied, but the front or side doors of most places usually open on Sunday were open yesterday, and the thirsty could find a supply of liquor on almost any corner where it is ensed on week days. A MERALD reporter walked during the afternoon through a num- berof the principal streets and avenuet, und very few places along the route wero found closed, lew members o1 the Committee on Agitation, who thorized to go to Albany and secure logisiauve blyman Nachtmana at the office of Mr, Martin Aremann, in Sixth avenue, and consulted informally as to the best thing to dv. ‘They adjourned without coming to any decision, except that it was useless for them to 20 to Albany immediately, 18 the bills betore the Legislature in which they are imter- ested could not be reached tn Committee of the Wrole betore the middle of the week. They will probubly leave about Wednesday evening to meet brewers and dealers {rom other parts of the State, The propriety of holding mass meeting to offset the clamor of the temperance interest It 18 proposed to call the Agitation Committee together early in the week to decide upon the advisability of tis proposed mass meeting. 0-day members of tho committee will hold a consultation with District At- torney Phelps to ascer his intentions in view of the present complicated state of things. The commit- tee attach no importance to the rumor that Corpora. tion Counsel Boyd will prosecute liquor dealers, All the power he has in the promises, they say, 1s to prose- cute persons for non-payment of licenses. the meeting adjourned, BROOKLYN RAPID TRANSIT, The work of laying tho track on Atlantic avenue, be- tween Flatbush avenue and the city line, Brooklyn, tor the new steam railroad, was commenced at cleven o'clock on Saturday night last, and was continued throughout the day and up to an early hour this morn- ing, the object of the company in pushing forward the work buing to avoid a threatened injunction which the owners of property along the line of the track con- tomplated applying for. Tho contractors employed several hundred extra workmen, and uid the ties for a gle track with extruordinary rapidity, Tho great object to be obtained was the completion of the city section of the road before the opening of the Supreme Court, which alone could restrain them. A portion of the track passes over what 1s known as the *Cowenboven estate,” tho heirs of which recently obtained a decision trom the Court of Appeals acknowi- edging the validity of their ttle to the land which the city bas heretofore occupied, Tho heirs will probably make application tor an injunction this forenoon, The pro- ess of the work was watched yesterday with eat interest by a largo voncourse of citizens. Mr. A, 3S. Barnes, chairman of thé Committee of Property Owners, stated last evening that in tho year 1859 the sum of $125,000 was paid the company on condition ‘that no steam would be used on tho avenue, and that the company by its present action had violated agreement, COURT CALENDARS Sure Count—Cuamnnxs,—Held by Judge Dono- bue.—Third Monday motion calendar, HIS DAY, Pa CourtT—GrxexaL TkkM.—Adjourned sine | ic.

INSIDE HISTORY OF THE OLD BROOM THAT Wonr'T SWEEP—IDLE MEN AND HORSES— SCOWS RESOLVED INTO KINDLING WOOD. During the past winter no officers of the city hat been abused 80 roundly and with so much apparent Justice as those of the Street Cleaning Bureau. Every resident of New York has become familar—tar too familiar—with dirty streets, and almost ry one has no doubt thought that there was some reason for their remaining dirty so long; exactly what that reason was, however, but fow know. It is generally conceded that one of the most important branches of a city’s public service is its Street Cleaning Departm and it is also generally conceded that there is, perhaps, no city im America where this im- portant department so miserably faiis as in New York, The reasons why are stated variously by many; the fact, however, remains. The attention of the public has been turned to this of late and charges have been made, among them gross incompetency and neglect ‘upon the part of those intrusted with the service, Assemblyman Peter Mitchel! bas brought the matter before the body of which he is a member several times, and endeavored to obtain a committee of investigation, Ib ts stated that such a committee would reveal a state of affairs that would completely answer the question of why the Streets were not properly cleaned. From Mr, Mitchell the alleged fucts given below have been obtained, and certainly show a state of affairs tar from creditable to the Street Cleaning Department. COMMISSIONER NICHOLS ASSUMES CHARGE. Ip May, 1876, Commissioner 3, P. Nichols was ap- oluted chairman of tho Strect Cleaning Bureau. When be aswumed charge the streets had been cleaned of the Winter dirt trom the appropeiaiions for Japu- ury, February, March and April, and there was a con- siderable balunce on hand—some fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. Some little time before Commis- sioner Voorhis retired the inspector of the bureau, acting under bis orders, recommended a reductiin of the force of cartmen to the number of thirty, and also & roduction of sixty laborers, pointing out'in detail where this could be done without interfering in any manner with the work of the bureau, ing this recominend. the department it increased the force of cartmen and taborers, NOW THE CARTS ARE MANAGED. This ection of the Commissoners kept in service more carts than were necessary, the result being that the carts drew only small loads and tew even of them. ‘Tweuty-tive curts Were distributed throughout the city to gather garbage only, and as in most ingtances the ashes and garbage were not separated the carts ob- tained loads only at small groceries and at the mar- kets, In this manuer the carts took only one or two Joaas per day cach, while eight loads should be the average. Itis stated that this arrangement of carts was the excuse for tho tucrease of the expense and pas tronage of the burcau. Forty more carts wore bired, and then to complete the burlesque the departinent 8 dumped tho garbage, and the hired carts dumped the ashes upon the same scow, und the scow going to sea tropped its load into the blue water, MAGNIFICENT STABLES, Mr. Mitchell further stated that in the summer of 1876 the bureau hada yard and stables at Rivington &trect and tho East River, containing 120 stalls, a blacksmith shop, harness shop, storeroom and offices, &c. The number oPhorses owned at this time by ti department was about eighty. Believing that 120 stalls were not cnough for Stee horses the Commissioners procured the Kighteenth Ward into a stable, with shops and office this was done.at enormous expense, pense was ho one, it is suid, really knows. The Riving- ton stre ‘bles were new, boing commenced in 1873 and completed in 1876, at u cost of thousands of doilars, and, it 18 stated, were fully up to the wants of the de- partment, The cost of running the new stabics is about $50 a day. [tis stated that when the bureau reported money to be scarcest there were twenty-eight horses standing idle in the Seventeenth street Stabies for more than two months. Had thoge horses Leen put at work in place of the same number of hired ones the saving would bave been over $50 per day to the city. There has been appointed a superintendent of the new. stables at a salary of $1,500 per year, though what his exact duties are ho one seems to know. QUERR PROCERDINGS, Our tnformant states that one of the excuses of the bureau for their lack of money is that they are obliged to hire extra scows to do the work. During the past summer there were scows as good a8 thove now in use sola by the department tor no apparent reason. It 18 chargod that the law regarding the sale of property has been constantly violated, and that great quantitica of material, consisting of tons of old iron, rope, &c., were sold at tho Rivington street stables at private sale, apd, more than that, it is charged that men were kept at work tor weeks cutting up old material into kindling wood, which was delivered by depurtment carts to private residences, und for which no return was mude to the dopartment. Last fail there were employed about Notwitl thirty extra ingmen” while at the time there were in the department ploy about three “gangmen" to every laborer, aod it 8 further charged that fifty-cignt gangmen wore paid regularly for twonty-six days in each mouth, while the laborers over whom they Were placed did act work More than two days in some months, Another matter charged against the bureau t# that that « great deal of mouey Was wasted In tho purchase of numbers of horses, and their almost immediate sale, Much of the money that should ave been used in cleaning the streots, it is alleged, was thus locked up in horseflesh, THE SCOWS. 1t 18 also stated that last tall, while the Commission- ers were paying $5 per day fur scows, one of the scows was allowed to remain loaded at tne toot of 129th street and tbe North River for over seven weeks, und that during that time two men wore employed watening it ata salary of $2 day cach, This waste of mone; it 1s claimed, Waa entirely unwarranted and unneces- sary.

New York, April 12, 1877, To tux Epirox ov tae Heaip:— On the east side of this city, from Tenth street to Grand, in every street, the street swecpers bavo gath- ered together and piled up in heaps thousands of loads of the richest of manure to poison the inhabitants of tbat district, aod the Police Department tells your cor- respondent that it cannot be removed for want of a place for its doposit, Within a radius of thirty miles from New York city lie millions of acres of the finest warden lands in the world anused, untilled, jor want of this very manure that rots in our streets and poisons our people.

MW JERSEY MUTUAL. Tribulations of Its Former Managers and Stockholders, TWO DISGRACEFUL Policy Holders Completely !gnored— Some Actuarial Observations. When the Newark Grand Jury assemble to-morrow it isexpected they will dnd much new evidence in their investigation of the New Jersey Mutual Life and the action of its directors and stockholders in 1872. Itappearsto be geuerally conceded by lawyers that these men are liable for the sum which they re- ceived in mortgages for their stock for such crimi- pal lability ag may be found to exist it is protected by the statute of limitation. The overbauling of this old transaction bas created considerable enmity be. tween some of the most reputable and wealthy men of Newark, anu euch particular party is atrongly en- deavoring to lay the burden on some other shoulders, ‘Trouble is predicted for Secretary of State Kelsey, who 18 said to be pushing the investigation, unless ho de- sists. Itisclaimed by the retired stockholders that before they took anything from the New Jersey Mutual treasury the full amount to be pald them was first put in by the Hepe. A strong impression prevails that whatever securities other than cash were thus put in were “cats and doge,”’ and such checks as found their way to the treasury soon found their way back to the drawers thereof, It is asserted by one person that tho Hope men who took these checks to Newark brought them back the same day to their individual owners, If this be the case the New Jersey stockholders, who realized 80 handsomely on their stock, lett the policy holders Just $150,000 worse off than before, The theory ad- vanced in the Hxnanp by Mr. Lathrop that the Hope could only hold mortgages on property within a filty mile radius and the New Jersey men took them in pay- ment jor that reason, |e somewhat frustrated by the iniormation that the mortgages taken were all, or nearly all, situated in Newark and vicinity. DESPERATE PINANCIERING. Some idea of the looseness with which both of the companies wore managed may be derived from a con- versation held by the writer with oue who is entirely familar with their single and wodded history, He de- clared that the Hope was insolvent long before the union, and the New Jersey was but little short of it, ‘The Hope managers hadjbeen at their wits’ ends to pull through examinations, and wher. overtures were made to the New Jersey it was $180,000 short. At this time there was no Jaw for ollicial examination of |ife insur- fnce companies in New Jersey, and they theretore wanted to pour the Hope into the Newark company. If tho New York Insurance Department attempted an examination of the latter it need only to retire from the State. When they parchased the New Jersey at 80 ruinous a price the Hope was virtually disposed of, and it remainod to recuperate the new bought concern, ‘Ywo-thirds of the amount paid the Now Jersoy stockholders was wiped off the list of Iavilities by re- tiring the capitat stock for a time, Tho informant asserted that the $50,000 sald to have beon paid to Mr. CG ©. Lathrop, was charged upon the New Jersey books, in January, 1873, to the purchased policy ac- count, He further said that the cashier would not make thatentry until President Plummer had given the written order to do #0, Although the Hope policios were rapidly changed they bad been deceived regarding its assets, and a great gap still remained un- tilled. The New York examination ot December 31, 1873, waa a hard fence for the management to climb over. They negotiated in that mouth with Messrs, Luther W. Frost and J, H. Stedwell for a sale of the company, but these gentlemen desired first to see their anoual statement. Mr. Piummer set about artiuily to make this up, and finally Mr. Frost consented to purchase the company for the sum of $126,000 Ot this amount $77,000 went to Dr. Brady und his friends and $49,000 was given in mortgages for the payment of the so-called debts of the New Jersey. The money was taken in these two sums from the Continental coffers, and constitute the entries that gave so much trouble to the receut Continental investigators, By all these transactions the New Jersey was so hopelessly crippled that no succeoding efforts could rescue it from failure. THR MUDDLE SCIENTIFICALLY CONSIDERED, A gentleman connected with the Hope, at one tima, furnished the HrraLp representative with a detailed history of the old troubles and their origin, The Hope, be said, commenced business on a novel and unsafe system. It charged seventy-elght and three-quarter per cent of the usual matual rato, and in addition a margin, not bearing interest, equal to one-third of the cash payment, The company was only entitled to use one of theso charges us an asset, whereas it returned all of thom to the dopartment, thas giving them credit for four times their real value, The cash portion of the premiums was only ioaded from tive to ten per cent instead of forty per cent, Jeaving the policies no rscuperative power. At tho same Lime hew business Was sought with a commission of forty per cent for the first and ten por cent tor the second y Presidect Jones, the informant said, was lavish ia his expenditures and utterly imprac- ticable in lis Insurance schemes. The consulting ac- advised them of the ruimous naturo ot his in, but was unheeded, Ho finally cou- troduction ol a tontine policy, and its circulation was the ouly valuablo business the com- pany bud. In making up tho anonal statement for De- comber 31, 1870, a device Known as capatalizing agents?’ accounts was used, in which certain directors put up fuuds to cover advances to agents, and mado the company good in thut way. During 1371 the Hope continued to do business, but was 10 constant financial embarrassinent, The Board of Directors, 1n January 1872, requested Mr, Jones to resign, he then becoming vice president, and Mr. Charles C, Taver taking the effico of President. Mr. ‘Taber was induced upon favorable reports to pat in 0,000 of the Hope new stock, and im uddition to rcbage $30,000 more {rom rowring directors, He Soon after caused an cxaminution to be made, found he had been deceived, and retired from the company. In preparing the report of December 31, 1871, astates ment was ‘ound in the office representing some govern- ment bonds of the value of $114,000, Persistent in- quiry being made of the Secretary to produce these vonds, an envelope was presented containing orders of diferent directors on var.ous banking, houses, which were dishanored on presentution, in the interim between the retirement of President Plum- mer and the election of Mr, W.

Shephard Homans and W, J. 260,000, from which was deaueted the com- mission of torty-live per cent and tue delerred pre- miums, which left about $150,000 due the Hope; $60,000 of this amount received hy the Hope was in government vouds deposited at Albany. The Hope (ven issued its own policies in the place of the Cralise men's, but tustead of returning them as of the old date, they were reported to the department 3 policies, thus wiping owt all reserve upon then reserve fund wag thus reduced in 1872 from $259,000 to $1v9,000, Mr, Plummer, the informant related, was made pr ident on Lue strength of is assurances to the mauage- ment that be could advance the company $100,000 at least out of bis own private fortune, to tide the com. pany over ip case of an emer; Bat when id Upon, he Was only able to obtain $5,000, aud that re- quired another Well known indorsement, lu October, 1872, the Hope made arrangements with the New Jersey Mutual for the purchase of its stock, The latter company had commenced business in 196d with Hon, Joseph P, Bradiey, now Chiet Justice, as ts president. 1ts class of business, the informant says, Was peculiar and unproiitable, Alter five premiums had been paid on its policies they could not japse, but wore kept in force by #n anvually vecreasing ratio of #4 result the reserve upon lapsed poli- nearly twice as large as during the ti premium pavinents. These destructive policies were issued until 1870, when they were modttied to a Little beter form, AN ILl ADVISED MARRIAGE, The New Jersey Mutual, houestiy managed, but the existence of this very class of polic formant deciared, was used by Vice President Lathrop As an argument to induce consolidation with the Hope, Thus, he whied wa. the other id, tWO Companies were united, one of “ily manag bad contracts, and escriplion. lected presi dent of the combined corporations, and C.
