NEW Yoitx, Friday Evening, Dec. 11.
Trade continues dull, and we notice many failures
among the dry goods men. Money on call continue, more
in demand, and 7 per cent. is easily obtained. Discounts
are more active, and rates are firmer, first-class accept
antes from 60 to 90 days being quoted :at 8 to 8} per cent.
Government Bonds are lower, and to-day have generally
declined Ito 1 per can'. Gold is well held, but closes
to-day at 1351, having opened at 1361.

Railroad stocks are better to-day, and piices, especially
of Erie, aro higher. The Erie Railway Company has
leased the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad for *
term of twelve years, upon condition of the Erie com-
pany paying 30 par cent. of the gross earnings of the leased
road, or a minimum of 81,800,000 yearly in the event of
the 30 per cent. of earnings falling below that amount.
The Erie Company engages to keep the track, stations,
and rolling stuck of the Atlantic and Great Western road
in repair, and gives to that company the option of renew-
ing the lease at its expiration. The arrangement will
give the Atlantic and Great Western Company an amount
more than sufficient to cover the interest upon its bend*
due under the recent arrangements with the bondholders.
The Erie Company by this arrangement have secured s
broad gauge road to St. Louis, in addition to their arrange'
meat for a narrow gauge connection with Chicago.
