” TIMES TRANSFORMATIONS. Twenty-third Street as It Is Now and Was Five Years Ago. A BEGGARS’ PARADISE. The Flight of Fashion and the En- croachment of Trade. Many striking changes have been made in the face oft New York city during the past five years, and no- where is this more notable than in Fourteenth and Twenty-third streets, where the bustle of trade has taken the place of domestic privacy and quiet, and the glaring front of the restaurant has succeeded the brown stone facade of the mansion. These changes, 8o radical in their nature, have doubtless taken place so gradually that the difference is acarcely percepti- ble to the constant resident; but the fact is, that those once fashionable retreats, now become busy and noisy thoroughfares, are no more like they were half a decade ago than a full grown man, bearded and stout, is like the boy from whom he has grown. The progress of ‘Twenty-third street is, perhaps, the more noticeable, for while Fourteenth street is now given up largely to trade, it does not present so bizarre an appearance as ‘T'wenty-third street, where, trom Broadway, across Fifth, Sixth and Seventh av- enues, and so on to Eighth avenue, there are hotels, express offices, theatres, gin mills, restaurants, French flats, dry goods stores, churches, stables and undertakers’ warehouses. The high rents of Broad- way have done much to bring about this condition of things; but, more than this, the gradual progress of the avenues of trade and the overcrowding of the stores along the line of surface roads have effected the changes. Most of all, however, it is due to the establishment of three elevated railroads, that bring the two extremities of the city within half an hour's distance and make Twenty-third street the natural half-way stopping place for shoppers and sightseers, STORES AND THEATRES. \inere are nearly a score of refreshment saloons in Twenty-third street between the points named, ranging from the pretentious hotel and club house to the simple bar for beer. Biiliard rooms and Ma- sonic lodges abound, bootblack stands decorate every corner, anddry goods are exhibited in the modest thread and needle shop 2s well as in palatial ware- houses that cost half a million of dollars. Trotting stables and theatres are near neigh- bors, and some of the finest residences in the city have been turned into flats for milliners, den- ‘nets and barbers. For some reason the theatres in ‘Twenty-third street have always had but a shaky existence. Until this week there were three; but the inexorable law of fate of one of them. It has been for years an object of solicitude in the mind of its owner, who bas rented it at various times to minstrels, amateurs, ambitious suthors, opera troupes and variety shows, none of which, perhaps, attained success or fortune. A few days ago the property of late known as the St. James Theatre—200x50 feet—was leaved to a company which has also leased the old Armory property on Twenty-fourth street, in the rear of the theatre, of like dimensions, with the intention of opening there nex spring a novel place of resort, where music, beer and a rus in urbe will be provided. The other theatres will live in local history; one as the scene of # monumental dramatic failure, the other as the place where financial giants fought for supremucy in one of the great railroads of the world. STREET SCENES THEN AND NOW. , But while the physical changes are great the per- sonal differences are even more remarkable. In other days ‘'wenty-third street was a fashionable prom- enade. Im the sunny mornings nurses with infants in their arms and children witn go-carts, hoops and toys monopolized the sidewalks; elegantly attired ladies sauntered ulonx; prancing steeds foamed at the bit while their mistresses paid calls along the route. There was no haste, no noise, no bustle. Now two lines of street cars, one line of omnibuses and countless carts and pediers’ wagons make the place a Babel. The sidewalks are as crowded as those of Broadway ten years ago, and very tew mothers dare trust their children on the street. af ONE WHO HAS SKEN “BETTER DAYS. It has also become the beggars’ paradise by day, as Fourteenth street is at night. The same cripples, hand organ men, Italian women and professional boy beggars who intest Union square in the vicinity of the theatres in the evening may be found all day long on Twenty-third street. One of the regulars is ®man not much over fitty years of age, who two winters back was the doorkeeper and watchman in a Broadway theatre. He was too hard a drinker to keep his position, and when discharged by the man- ment was compel to beg or starve. He totters feebly and slowly along the street, leaning on & cane with one hand, while he extends the other for charity. It seems strange who in other days knew Sothern, Flor- ence, Raymond, Crane, Robson and other members of the dramatic profession well, and who has attended more or less important for nearly every prominent actor in the city,should be compelled to seek bread and shelter in this publicly disgraceful manner. But, strange or natural, there he is, day in and day out. except on rheumatic occasions, when his legs retuse to play their part. A BALDHEADED MENDICANT. It is noticeable that nearly all professional beggars have watchers and guardians near them, One very old man, with a head as bald as a billiard ball, takes his stand every day, hat in hand, near the residence of a prominent city official on Twenty-third street, where he challenges every passer by with most pite- ous looks. On the opposite side of the street, and — the calm retreat of a church, stands his pal. If business is good, now and then the two ad- journ toa cheap beer saloon on Sixth avenue to re- fresh their inner men. The repulsive type of beggar is represented by a hideous looking fellow with St. Vitus’ dance and a terribly scarred face and mutilated hand. He pays more attention to ladies than to men. As one ap- proaches he begins to bow. Fastening his evil eyes upon her he bows and bows until she nas if passed. she gives him acoin he gives ghastly grin of grati- tude. If she takes no notice of nim tne expression of petition in his face changes to one of positive malignity. This man's pal is a female, and the two can be seen counting their spoils on Seventh avenue, near Twenty-second street, almost any fine day. One of the most systematic beggars on the street is @ man. Peano from his waist downward. He sits ‘n a ur-wheeled wagon and is drawn to a fresh station on the street eacn day. He “works” the thorough- fare between Fourth and Eighth avenues on both sides. He is @ large, fine looking man, of the Mctlellan type of feature and com- Plexion, and he so successfully infuses an expression of melancholy into his large eyes that the laaies cannot resist the impulse to pity his misfor- tune and reward his persistency. The creature who wheels the wagon and watches the contributors is an elderly man with a vicious face. He makes his com- ion settle up three or four times a day, it is al- , and is liberal in his cursing if the “divvy” does not equal his calculations. JUVERXILE BEGGARS. The worst feature is the begging of children. Thero are three weil knowa “workers” of the Twenty-third street cars who are not over ten years old, one of them — under seven. They ie all manner Aes dodges tricks upon travellers. rainy night little six-year-old child leaned = agai: a tree Seventh avenues and between Sixth and cried bitterly. After elittle while a kind-hearted woman spoke to him, He continued to ery. A crowd soon gathered. Then ‘was his opportunity. Under his arm was a packago of evening papers. He and they were wet througn, With streaming eyes and choking voice he narrated his woes. He must sell those papers before he dared home—unless he was pre; to be beaten and varned adriit. Of course the regulation philanthropist came along, took all the paper¢, patted the little tel- Jow on the head, gave him # quarter and told him to gohome. And ot course the little rascal ran like Fabbit to the other boy who was waiting for the fall of the curtain, joined him and together they sped away, laughing at the jolly greenness of the philan- thropist and preparing, after a box stew, for another endeavor in the same Line. KICKED FROM A HORSE CAR. Now and then « case of genuine distress is discov- ered among these professionals, but not often, be- cause the routes are carefully watched and guarded and intrnderson “claims” are as rigidly dealt with as they are in scamp of miners. A few nights since, when the keen wina whistled around the corner of Fifth ave- nue and Twenty-third street, a bobtailed car was joiting rapidly aiong. On the little rear platform, cuddled up like a rat, was a mite o/ a boy, witha visorless cap. He was sound asleep and the driving sleet was fast hardening on his ragyed coat. With a slam and a bang # young snob shoved back the sliding door, and as he endeavored to get off his foot unwit- tingly hit the drenched waif upon the platform. An- ered at the delay bo kicked the sleeping atom to the street, where good fortune rolled him just beyond the Broadway cur track, on which a Broome street car (No. 46) was bounding along. Before the boy had rubbed his sleepy eyes the offender was caught by the collar of his fur-lined ulster and hauled to the corner, where the huge policeman who promen- ades the crosswalk had laid the boy. The little fellow was more frightened at the ‘cop’ than hurt by the kick and fall, so, with a rebuke, the ruffian was per- imitted to go. HOMELESS AND SUPPERLESS, The object of interest replied to a question as to ‘what he was doing on the car platform, “1 wa'nt doin’ nuthin’; I was sleopin. ‘hy didn’t you go home to sleep ?”’ int got none.” “Where do you live?” aero ene had “Have you any supper?’ 0. “Any breakfast?” Plenty.” ‘here did you get it?” ‘In the box on kighth ner of Twenty-third street. “What did you eat?’’ ‘Tater peelins and a piece of sasaage," “Have you any father or mother?’ last week the t nue, just round the cor. that this man,’ NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1878--TRIPLE SHEET, “Father's dead and mother’s on the Island. They never warn't on.gned: neither." “Would you like some dinner?” “No, you don't; you can’t catch me, my covey.” “I don’t wish to cateh you, but to help you, Would you like a dinner?” “Would I like a dinner! Would I like forty bloody dinners! Jest you try me.” ‘This conversation and much more in a similar strain occurred in an adjacent express office, where the little fellow had been taken. Subsequent inves- tigation and inquiry pmona she police proved the truth of the lad’s story. He been turned adrft some months ago, since when he had never been washed, His clothes hung in tatters; his stocking- less feet wore broken shoes tied with string, and a more woebegone, wretched bit of humanity never stirred the heart of man than this same Daniel O'Connell Costigan. He is now properly cared for, te may perhaps live to thank the fellow who bru- uy oy kicked him from the bobtail car. THE FUTURE OF THE STREET, Real estate owners predict that in the next ten years the entire length of Twenty-third street will be iven up to trade, not necessarily stores, but such fade as is suggested by the remarkable developments of the past five years—developments that have abso- Intely changed the appearance, habits and ip peoer 4 value of what was formerly the chief resort of wealt! and fashion, the centre of social life and the perfec- tion of location for private residences in New York. JAPANESE FORMS OF TORTURE. (From the Japan Gazette.) Mr. J. H. Longford, an attaché of Her Britannic Majesty's Legation in Japan, contributed to the Asiatic Society a most valuable “Summary of the Japanese Penal Codes,” from which we take the liberty of extracting passages that will form a fitting intro- duction to this article. Mr. Longford states:— Where the evidence is only sufficient to raise a very strong suspicion against the accused an attempt is made to elicit the truth by subjecting him to a further examination, and though it is now generally admitted that the use of torture has been practically abolished in Jupanese courts, so far from there being any law absolutely forbidding its. use during this examination the ht of resorting to it would seem to be still recognized by the retention in the codes of a section in the preliminary matter minutely de- scribing the implement that is to be used in examina- tion by torture, and of sections in the present chap- ter which provide punishments for an officer who causes the torture of a person whom he knows to be innocent, or of persons of advanced or tender years, or of pregnant women, Mr. Longftord’s opinion that power has been re- served to the courts to resort to torture when that course shall seem expedient is corroborated by the belief of Japanese at the present moment, who assert that, although torture is not now practised, the courts may inflict it whenever they deem it necessary todo so. The Japan Mailof June 2%, 1876, considered # notification issued by His Excellency Sanjo, Prime Minister, as conclusive evidence of the abolition of torture; but we regret to find this surmise has not been verified by subsequent events, The Japanese press, notably the Hocht Shinbun and the Nicht Nichi Shinbun, the latter supposed to ssess the con- tidence of the government, have that torture was applied to some of the mutineers of the Take- bashi barracks, and, notwithstanding the subsequent contradiction published by those journale—declara- tions that the reports were unfounded—there was so much circumstantiality in the statements of the Nichi Nichi Shinbun as to names and the nature of the torture applied that the contradiction is not sufficient to destroy the impression that torture was really re- sorted to, though it was desirable to conceal it from the people of Japan and the world at large. Upon the assumption that torture may be used we shall proceed to give some details which may be worthy of perusal:— ZASSHI, KEIBOTSU Examination, preliminary or in prison. The ac- cused, secured by handcuffs and occasionally bound, is conducted to the place of examination and there seated upon # straw mat spread on the und, A constable is in charge of the acc , and the officer to inflict punishment is in attendance. The magistrate, accompanied by spies relia, then pro- ceeds to question the prisoner, and if it appears that he is unwilling to give such replies as shall prove his guilt other measures are adopted. Ata signal from the magistrate the torturer strikes the accused person with # whip, described by Mr. Longford as an implement three feet in length, one and a inches in circumference and half an inch in diameter. It is made of three strips of bamboo, the knots of which have been planed off, bound tightly together with hempen rope, and is called with grim humor the ‘Investiga- tion Whip.” It these blows are insufficient forthe purpose a heavier whip is used—one inch in diame- ter—and the blows are continued until the prisoner yields, faints or becomes utterly prostrated and un- conscious. Care is taken not to strike any part of the body where bones may be broken or fi injuries be inflicted. When the accused makes confession of the crime charged against him he is unbound, permitted to drink water—the deprivation of which is often employed as an aggravation of his sufferings—and after hay ratified his confession, by aflixing # mark with the thumb nail to the record, he is returned to prison to await sentence or the further action of the wuthorities. ‘This system of subjecting dod under examination to severe co! unishment was inaugurated by Toda Yamasi No ion she 12th day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Kioho (A. D. 1720). CRIMINALS. Persons accused of murder, incendiarism, robbery and other serious and capital crimes; those who are morally proved to be guilty or whose accomplices br os aha —_ wae - ves remain mute; an ose charged with offences against the fe ernment, are liable to be subjected to all orany of the following modes of torture, not, as in prelimin- ary examinations, in the presence of tho magistrate or judge, but in w place set apart for the purpose pre- sided over by the official torturer. When a 2 charged with any of those crimes refuses to plead or enters a plea of not guilty he is informed that tor- ture will be employed in his examination and that when he desires to explain the full extent of his mis- doing the proper officer will attend to record his con- fession. Arrived at the prison the accused is securely handcuffed and may first be subjected to the ISHI-ZEME (THE STONE TORTURE). This mode of torture is ident ith the Soroban- zemé mentioned in the Nichi Nichi Shinbun as applied to some of the Takebashi mutineers. Five large pieces of cedar or pine wood, triangular in shape and about three fect long, are placed upon a platform, side by side, the apexes uppermost, and upon them the accused is made to kneel in a position which ex- poses the front of the lower legs to the — of the wood. This position, painful as it must be, is but preliminary, tor upon the sufferer’s thighs are placed, one at a time, pieces of the Idsu stone, each weigh- ing sixty pounds, Stones are slowly added until the accused yields and makes confession or becomes in- sensible. HAKO-ZEME (BOX TORTURE). The accused, bound hand and toot, is placed in a crouching posture in a strongly made box having a movable lid arranged to fit inside the box and to be raised or depressed at pleasure. Upon the lidof this machine weights are slowly added until a crushing power is acquired under which nature must suc- cumb, + ‘TEMBIN-ZEME (8CALE TORTURE). An upright triangle is prepared, from which depend two ropes attached to a pole, forming an inner tri- angle suspended from the apex of the other. The accused is fastened to the ropes by his feet and ankles, while cach arm, stretched to its fullest extent, is bound to the pole below. While the prisoner is hanging in this position, with head downward, ro- motion is given to the rope in one direction sufficient to give it force to revolve in the other di- rection with great velocity, during which the body of the accused is beaten with bamboo poles. MIDZU-ZEME (WATER TORTURE). ‘The originators of this cruel device relied upon the torment of thirst as more powerful than mere cor- poral suffering. The prisoner is for several days confined to au extremely salt diet without rice or water. When two or three days havé the ng for water becomes incessant, and the suffer- ings of the tortured man approach the bounds of in- sanity. Efforts ure then made to obtain confession by subjecting the sufferer to the agony endured by ‘Yantalus when in the midst of the internal lake whose waters he could not touch. On all sides the thirst-distracted prisoner beholds water—water tor which he would sacrifice everything—but which he cannot touch except upon tie condition of confes- sion. UTSUSU-ZEME (DEPRIVATION OF SLEEP). ‘This is simply permitting the accused person to sit or recline upon a bed upon which water is continu- ally dropping. At the appearance of sleep attend- ants, by means of bells, drums, fire and other appli- ances, jer repose imposesible; the sufferer grows wild and disorderet; Lis mind wanders, and eventu- ally he becomes a raving and oftentimes a hopeless maniac, KAMABOKO‘ ZEME, ‘This (Kamaboko) signitics ‘baked fish,” and is a sig- nificant title for this mode of torture, A charcoal fire 19 made in a hole im the — and covered with agrating. The accused is then bound, the backs of his legs and thighs are covered with a coating of mud or clay, and_ he is placed in? a sitting posture on the grating. The fire is then stimulated; the clay dries, ctacks and is replaced until the con- tinued heat causes it tear away the in- flamed and burnt flesh. This was considered #o horrible « practice that it was abolished in 1651, MOKUBA-ZEME (THE WOODEN HORSE). This inhuman device equals in cruelty the method just described. A wooden horse with edged back is prepared, on which the accused is placed in @ nude state, ‘Iwo executioners then seize the arms and feet and draw the sufferer down backward upon the wooden edge. A machine is also used for the pur- pose, by means of which sufficient force can bo ap- plied to dislocate every joint and to inflict an agou- ising death npon the tnfortunate wretch subjected to the torture of the Mokuba, HL-ZEME (FIRE). In &@ cage of green bamboo the accused, bound hand and toot, is suspended with head downward, ‘This machine revolves slowly in a cirele of charcoal fires, fanned into a flerceness by the executioners. ‘Lhis torture is objectionable on account of the sud- den fatal termination to which it is subject—the ames of the charcoal producing asphyxia, ABURA-ZEME (OTL). As its name imports, this tormure is simply the application of boiling ofl to the person of the suiferer, HASHIOO-ZEMK (THE LADDER), The accused is bound to a horizontal ladder, and the executioners force him to drink immense quan- tities of water. When the swollen body of the vic- tim gives indication that mo more water can be taken horrors of the Spanis in a broad and heavy piece of wood is used in such a manner that the water is violently driven back in the direction of the head, and forced out of eyes, mouth and nostrils. When this torture is applied with severity the victim seldom, if ever, recovers. HORAKU-ZEME. ‘This consists in compelling the accused to stand upon 4 grating under which a gradually increasing fire is kept up. There are no nicans of escape, for the prisoner is surrounded by a strong fence and con- fined to the heated grating for motion. TRPPO-ZEME. In the interior of a copper tube lighted charcoal is The accused is then made to grasp the tube, which his hand is then bound, and to walk replay in such direction as will expose an end of the tube to the wind. By these means the torture is accelerated or lessened in proportion to the motion. NETTO-ZEME (BOILING WATER). This barbarous torture is performed by binding the sufferer to a frame, exposing the whole of his 4 the position apa had such a kind as to strain all the important muse! Incisions are then made in the skin and are washed with boiling water until the wounds gape wide. Should t prisoner still be mute, or it is advisable to make a terri- ble example of one to strike fear into his accomplices, molten lead ix then poured into the open wounds. According to the chronicle dark vapor rises mto the air, and the body speedily becomes of the color‘of cinnabar. The consequences of this horrible torture must be apparent, HEBI-ZEME (SNAKES), The accused is placed within @ copper utensil hav- ing a Destion large ‘enough to permit his head to pass rouge & number of venomous snakes are then introduced, and spirit is poured into the box. Fire is then applied until the heated spirit drives the snakes to furious sttacks upon the naked body of the victim. This torture, with hellish cruelty, ix specially used in cases of women, because of the natural IR pred of that sex to reptiles and creeping things of descriptions. CARLYLE AND THE JEWS. To THe Eprror or THE New Youk Heratp:— ‘Thomas Carlyle lately asked, “How long will John Bull stand having @ miserable Jew dance on his belly?” It is more than time that the numerous intellectual rufflans, whom the author of “Sartor Resartus” represents, should receive a fitting rebuke; not but that the Jews, the classic race, superior to decay, could well afford to treat with unaffected con- tempt these false prophets, who still sniff with evi- dent gusto the bloody memories of Titus Andronicus. ‘The essential fact is not whether Lord Beaconsfield is or is not # successful Prime Minister; the essen- tial fact is that his origin—race—is used asa term of reproach. Would Thomas Carlyle dare to apply the expression ‘miserable Protestant,” ‘miserable Catho- lic,” to any one?’ How dare he reserve his brutal and inconsistent bigotry for England's brilliant and gifted Prime Minister, who spurns “the disturber of the peace of Europe” with one foot, while the trembles on the verge of the geret Many Jews surrounded b the sweet but narrow circle of generous hearted, gentle friends, imagine that examples such as Gold- ‘win Smith, Wagner, Carlyle represent (not to men- tion the immortal name of the late lamented A. ‘I’, Stewart's grave gu: ) are rare exceptions. Such is not,the case; they are only too numerous, Had thie class any decency they would not be so r to tear away the veil that covers the naked wounds of the most heroic and enduring people of sacred or profane history—a people who flourish after wading through the blood, tears and insults of twenty cen- turies—a people who survive the unexampled slaugh- ters of the Latin pagans, while already the mem- ories of their executioners have grown gray and dim in the mist of ages—a people who survive their deci- mation by the rabble of medimval Europe and the h Inquisition, and who are still likely to survive despite the contempt of the histori- cal comedian of the French Revolution. How dare these creatures use the word “Jew” but with rever- ence, gratitude and love, when they and their class know #o well that as far as the days of Nineveh’s royal magnificence the Jews already had their mortal poets, statesmen and warriors, their beau: ful ai refined women and their noble men, while their ancestors cowered in the wretched huts and holes to gnaw their rawbones in darkness, cold and dirt. These iconoclasts are very pious, after their own fashion, as the murderous executioners of the Spanish Inquisition and anfo da fé performed their horrid functions, telling their beads and holding aloft the emblem of Him who taught and preached the philosophy of love. And this ghastly mockery of religion is echoed to-day only because they who would act it dare not. It is only reserved for philosophers of the blood-and-iron school to prostitute their gener- ous gifts and lay their infectious, but still beautiful lies at the bloody shrine of hero worship. Yet Mr. Carlyle is curiously pious and ostensibly worshi; Him who said, “Love ye one another,” despite the anomaly that he deifies the gore clotted tigers of the French Revolution. How many generations is it, Mr. Carlyle, since the Hi, and the Lowland- ers were slaught each other with a ferocity sur- assing the darkest f Corsican vendetta?

I challenge Carlyle and his class to name & denomination who will equal, in proportion to numbers, thie magnificent charities of the Jews. True, if they understand the art of money- making better than you, they also understand better than you do the diviner part of generously sharing it. File biters, do the Jews fill your. al institutions? How often do you sce a drunken Jow? How often 18 a Jew hung for murder? Are not Jewish women chaste? Mr. Carlyle, did you ever hear of Jewish bank directors indulging in the Pecksniffian fallacy ot swindling the shareholders of a bank out of $50,000,000? That honor, Mr. Carlyle, was reserved for your metropolis. Jews, however “miserable,” are never such fools, They understand banking. Compare the criminal statistics of the Jows with we of any denomination, and the extraordinary fact will staro you inthe face that they are the most law abiding people in the world.

COMMERCIAL. Review of the Week---The Stock Market Generally Strong. THE GOLD AND MONEY MARKETS, | WALL Street, } Sunpax, Dec, 22, 1878, Tuesday last was @ red letter day both in the his- tory of the Gold Room and of the nation. For the + first time since 1862 the premium, which has smirehed the plumage of our golden eagles for nearly seventeen years, was wiped away and gold sold at par. It was a happy omen for the success of the great act of resumption which in ten days will be a fixed fact, and especially gratifying as insuring a freedom from all financial strain in its accomplishment. A review of the stock market for the past week brings before | us the record of an average amount of business, an irregular occurrence of dull and active periods, mod- erate fluctuations, and above all a persistent and innate strength in all the active stocks. This was the case particularly with the railroads—curiously so when it is taken in consideration that the slaugntering of freight rates, which usually yields plentifully of raw heads and bloody bones, “to fright the souls of fearful” speculators, although recommenced with old time ferocity, has failed to scare them to the extent of the hundredth part of a dollar. Inceed, prices rather throve than otherwise, and in most instances quotations at the end were an | improvement upon those made at the beginning of the week. Probably the anticipation of satisfactory dividends, to be declared by Lake Shore and Michigan Central, helped to this firmness, while the faith in the future of the Northwesterns, expressed and prob- ably entertained by the large holders of these proper- ties, was of greater assistance still, On Friday both of the above roads declared diyidends—Lake Shore 3 per cent ont of 4 per cent carnings for the current six months, and Michigan Central 2 per cent out of 45 per cent earnings for the same period. A canard set flying to the pur- port that the Lake Shore direstton proposed an issue of $1,000,000 equipment bonds was seized upon by the bears with the avidity of a gormand for a canvas back, but it was soon abandoned as “fishy,” and the stock which had fallen one per cent upon the rumor quickly recovered the loss. We are assured that no such issue of bonds was even contemplated and that nothing of the kind is likely to take place. Anthracite shares were alternately weak and strong. The sale of 100,000 tons of coal by the Delaware and Lackawanna company, which showed s decline from the previous sale of about 70 cents per ton, had momentarily a de- pressing effect upon the share list, though prices were almost immediately advanced. There was a shrewd suspicion prevalent that the managing men of the trade were not loath to see these lower pyices, presenting as they did to the recalci- trant interests an awful example of what would hap- pen in case the combination should be allowed to die out. Influenced by this view, and some ill-de- fined rumors, that there would something yet be done to resuscitate the monopoly, prices were ad- vanced moderately and sustained with considerable firmness at the end of the week. New Jersey Central rose about 4}, percent, not from coal reasons, but from reports that it would be leased by the Baltimore and Ohio company, to afford the latter road a through line to New York. Western Union remained strong, selling ex-dividend of 134, and moderately active, there being few buyers for a six percent stock that sells in the “nineties.” Money on call was alternately cheap and desr, ranging from 3 to 7 per cent. Irreg- ularity of this nature is to be looked for at the end of the year, when annual accounts are being made up and the payment of dividends compels the disturb- ance of loans. The opening prices on Monday last were as fol- lows:—Delaware and Hudson, 37; Western Union, 943¢; Pacific Mail, 13%; Erie, 18; Lake Shore, 69%; Morris and Essex, 743;; Northwest, 461; do. pre- ferred, 74%; St, Paul, 34%; do. preferred, 72%; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 43; Michigan Central, b68%;; Union Pacific, 6734; Rock Island, ‘117%; Wabash, 21%{; New Jersey Central, b29; Kan- sas and Toxas, 6; C., C. and I.

This hardening of rates was due, as is usual at the close of the year, to the preparations for payment of interest and other set- tlements at the beginning of the new year. The rate for call loans fluctuated between 3 and 7 per cent, but the bulk of business was done at 45 per cent. There was # good demand for prime commer- cial paper at 5a 6 per cent, with a few exceptions as low as 434 per cent, The weekly statement of the Now York banks showed an increase of $28,600 in spe- cie and a decrease of $873,500 in legal tenders, and consequent lose of $849,900 in the total reserve. The surplus reserve is, however, reduced only $222,900, for the reason that there is a reduction of $2,608,800 im deposit liabilities. The surplus reserve is now $9,605,100; @ year ago it was $7,031,475, The follow- ing is a comparison of the bank avarages for the last two weeks :—— Deo. V4. Dee, 21. Differences.

The Treasury is now about to issue large legal tender notes, which will practically fill the gap left by the stoppage of the gold certificates, Foreign exchange is strofiger, partly duo to the greater demand for remittances end pertly to.an indisposition to draw. Tho | Export z dearness of monéy in London, where the rate in the open market is { of 1 per cent above the Bank rate, and the generally gloomy financial prospects abroad increased this disinclination, and rates were advanced to 4.89 for demand sterling, which is about specie shipping point. Government bonds have been active and weak, especially for the five-twenties of 1867, which declined upon the announcement of the last call for the five-twenties of 1865. As the '67's are next upon the list for being called in this issue naturally declined, and the other issues, in sympathy with is and with the fall in gold, also showed lower quota- | tions. —_--——_ DOMESTIC MARKETS.
