FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL ‘The Stock Market Active and Strong. GOLD QUIET AT 100 1-8. Government Bonds Higher, States Quiet, and Railroads Strong. HONEY ON CALL EASY AT 3 A4 PER CENT. Wau STRket, Tuvunspar, Nov. 14—6 P, M. 'To-day’s stock market afforded a striking example of “vox et preterea nihil’—a plentiful exhibition of lung power on the part of brokers and a scanty reward in the way: of fluctuations, With few ex- ceptions opening and closing prices were within a fraction of the same figures, and the only prominent feature of the day was the Saurson-like strength of the whole market. Nor did any Delilah, masquerading in the guise of o bear clique, attempt to clip the locks of the bull feeling which prevailed by any sudden and concerted raid, and, consequently, the strength of the Morning continued through the day and was un- touched at the close. The only advance of conse- quence to be recorded, however, was in Western Union, which from 96% rose to 9914 and fell back finally to 9814, and in New Jersey Central, which, starting at 31, spurted to 33!¢ and closed at 3234. Bullish speculators in the telegraph fancy are feeling better over their disappointment of last week, which Passed without a divsion of new stock, aro recovering from the melon-colic sufferings entailed by partaking ‘too freely of what proved to be uuripe fruit, and are getting up afresh appetite for a slice of the eucurb- itaceous product which it is now said will be surely served, juicy and mature. In fact, a belicf that the talked of increase in Western Union shares would certainly be made at no distant period gave fresh im- pulse to the stock to-day, though considerable assist- ance was derived from the covering of shorts, who are quick to take alarm under the ticklish circumstances in which the property is placed. The improvement in New Jersey Central seems to be founded on good reasons. We have it from very respectable authority that the business of the road, through a judicious system of management on the part of the receiver, is exceedingly satisfactory; that the floating debt is being rapidly reduced, and that, with a continuance of the present favorable cir- tumstances, a fair dividend may be paid—not, in- deed, for some months to come, but sooner than is generally expected. The street has nearly ceased try- Ing to get the “hang” of Lake Shore, so unaccounte able aré its periods of strength and weakness. It is Bure to have one.or the other at precisely the wrong time, and both bulls and bears suffer accordingly. To-day, although dealings were large fluctuations ‘were small, scarcely exceeding 34 per cent. Reports (such as Mr. Vanderbilt permits to leak out) are favorable as to the business of the road, and the earn- Ings for the first weck in November are said to exceed those of the samc time last year by $22,000, A new candidate for popular favor, and introduced upon the stock list to-day, came in the shape of Canada Southern. It was presented ‘with s flourish of trumpets at tne first board, though ‘Sppearances were that the music of both buyers and ®ellers was furnished by the same composer. The Btock Exchange spite against the bucket shops took new form to-day. An injunction was obtained by the Board against E. W. Todd & Co., bucket shoppers par excellence, restricting them from using tho tele- Graphic quotations, and thereby practically forcing them to shut up shop. Having taken their “Todd,” it would be interesting to know whether the Govern- ing Committee intend to further refresh themselves ‘by proceeding against other houses of the same na- ture or whether they mean to swear off where they Stand. : ‘The opening, highest, lowest ‘and closing prices of stocks and gold at the New York Stock Exchange to day were as follows:— Opening.

Davies, manufacturers of umbrellas at No, 404 Broad- way, called the creditors together yesterday at the office of the firm, and asked that a committee be ap- pointed to co-operate with him in settling the affairs, He submitted a statement showing liabilities amount- ing to $163,020 23, and real assets $61,76698, The meeting selected Messrs. Degner, of C. A. Auffmordt & Co.; Sykes, of Dambmann & Co., and Hersey as the committee. A meeting of the creditors of Bryce & Smith, wholesale poe merchants at No. 83 Front street, was held at their office -yesterday, and it was decided. to grant ten days’ time to ascertain whether Mr. Smith will carry out his proposition for a settlement at forty-five cents on the doll: Ata meeting of the creditors of Frederick Thile- mann & Son, contractors, at No. 338 East Fifty-ninth stroct, held yesterday at’ tho oflice of Register Allen, John H. Platt was appointed assignee, CUSTOM HOUSE FORGERY, During the busy hours of yesterday afternoon at the Custom House it was noticed that several gentle men went backward and forward to the Collector's office looking very anxiously. Mr. I. L Osborn, dep- uty collector of the, Warchouse division was sent for; then Deputy Collector Phelps, of the Seizure divi-+ sion, and finally Special Agent Nevins, of the Secret Service bureau. The latter was seen to leave shortly after the great conference, accompanied by a young man who, it was subsequently ascertained, was being taken to the District Attorney's oftice, there to be ex- amined on a charge of forgery. It appears this young man, whose eee 4 is Edward (Pete apr tsp custouae clerk of Messrs, Dutel & Knowlton, petra itincamens whose business he transacted with the government since J. Henry Malone, beng late Custom House 1 broker, died, a few weeks ag Every morning the cashiers’ sheets of the Collec tor's and Naval offices are examined and com, to find out any errors, if such should exist. ‘o days ago a discrepancy of $3 50 was found in the Col- lector’s cashier's account. The entry was at once “gotten” up, and very soon the fact became patent |. that Holmes had forged the cashier's fee clerk’a (Mr. G. W. Tucker) check to a permit, Yesterday a similar discrepancy revealed another forgery by the same: hand, amounting to $5 40, Tho above sums had been given to Holmes to pay weighers’ and entry fees, Mr. Knowlton was sent tor and informed of these facts as soon a# they became known, who made the several amounts on the spot. The boy was cited before Collector Merritt, to whom he made frank con- fession of his errors, at the same time assuring that official that no person besides himself had any share in the forgery. He seemed to feel his 2 keenly, expecially when his futher, who ho very responsible position down town and is highly re- spected, arrived at the Collector's office and was informed of his son’s misfortune. The bo: shed tears and implored mercy, in whi his employer also joined him,’ The Col- lector, however, was compelled to send the case to the District Attorney. Section 5,418 of the Revised Statutes of the United States provides a max- imum punishment of ten years’ imprisonment, or # fine not less than $10 nor more than $1,000, or both, in such cases, CHARTER OAK, Two suits have been commenced in the Supreme Court against tho Charter Oak Life Insurance Com- pany, of Hartford, Conn., in both of which Isssa Gugenheim is plaintiff, The plaintiff alleges that he took out policies to the amount of $17,000, on ae he paid the premiums as they became’ due, policies, he further alleges, have now become & a tured claim and the company refuses to pay. The defence set up is that the company is under ee tion in the State of Connecticut, rest from issuing any policies, the payment of any data or the transaction of any new business.
