FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The Stock Market Active and Irregular. GOLD QUIET AT 100 1-8. Goverment Bonds Dull, States Steady and Railroads Strong. Money on Call Easy at 3 a3 1-2 Per Cent. WALL STREET, } Wepnespay, Dec. 11—6 P. M. With Messrs. Belden & Co. giving orders to brokers to buy certain stocks and directing other brokers to sell the same properties, it is not extraordinary that the street should have regarded to-day’s speculation from an Oriental point of view, or have accepted the “washee, washee” war cry of the imported Chinaman as the true expression of to-day’s market. Up to mid- day, or even later, stocks advanced throughout the list. Afterward Mr. Gould sold to Mr. Belden, and Mr. Belden sold to Mr. Gould. As # matter of fact (in Board room parlance) there was ‘nothing done’’ so far as actual transfers between these parties went, . but matters were made to look sufficiently alarming to scare out some of the more timid of holders, and prices responded to the effect created by a lower range of prices, ‘Toward the close, however, the bolder bulls reasserted their authority and a rally ‘was established, particularly in the coal shares, which recovered prices and caused them to finish with considerable firmr:ss. Although the fluctua- tions of the day may be principally ascribed to the battledoor and shuttlecock business played by Gould and his satellites, there were certain circumstances which legitimately affected the market. Among these was the bill introduced into and subsequently reported to have been passed by the House prevent- ingall “discrimination by common carriers and pro- hibiting pooling of freights.” This bill is apparently directed at the railroads and might, in the case of its becoming law, become of importance, were it not for the fact that all efforts of the railroads them- selves in this direction have proved a lamentable failure, and that there is really nothing to legislate about. A second topic of legitimate importance lay in the action of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The Executive Committee met, advised a dividend to be declared of 114 per cent and adjourned. With this adjournment departed all hopes of a two per cent declaration, which many stockholders had held on to, and all expectations of a carving of the “melon,” which were still entertained by some. The statement of the company’s business for the current quarter is passably good. Starting with a surplus on the 1st of October of $858,881 87, they add thereto in net earnings for October and No- vember, and for December, estimated, the sum of $1,014,795 53, Out of these joint sums the company has paid;$1,093,600 for the purchase of bonds, Atlantic and Pacific siock and other items and $525,936 for the dividend, leaving a surplus of $254,141 40, or enough to pay !4 per cent additional and some- thing over on the outstanding stock. The actual net profits for the previous quarter (with the addition of the surplus on hand Ist of July) were $1,505,662 50. The profits for the present quarter (December esti- mated), adding surplus on hand 1st of October, will or will not be $1,873,677 40, If the estimate for De- cember should prove correct the current quarter will show a net increase of earnings over previous quar- ter of $367,U14 90. Apropos of this subject of teleg- raphy, it was rumored in the street after Board hours that a bill would be introduced into Congress permitting railroad companies which have private lives of their own to accept public business, and con- stituting them a vast corporate telegraph company, This is apparently a modification of the bill which was before Congress last year and may amount to something or nothing. In the early part of the day the coal stocks were surprisingly strong, later on they grew weak and afew minutes before the close rallied with a bounce. The only reason to be ob- tained for the sudden recovery rested in the report that the combination was not so dead as had been thought, and that there were strong possibilities of a resuscitation. The opening, highest, lowest and closing prices of stocks and gold at the New York Stock Exchange to- day were as follows :— Opening. Highest, Lowest. Closing. Gold.

It allows the railroads possessing lines of telograph wires to transact general telegraph bisi- ness, and a@company has been formed with a capital of $10,000,000 to carry out the scheme. It is proposed that each railroad should capitalize its telegraph line and hand it over to the new company, receiving as payment scrip of the company. This scheme would enable the railroads to do their business at a very re- duced rate and would enable the outside public to have their messages sent at a lower rate than they can at present. Large merchants are much in favor of the plan and the president of the St. Louis Board of Trade is stated to have applied for $100,000 of the stock, A despatch from San Francisco saya:—“Assoss- ments have been made upon Utah of 22 por share; Alta, $1 per share, ant Hale & Norcross, 50 cents.
