NEW YORK, Dec. ~, 1900.
the year is now near Its close, have thought
that a few words In relation to financial matters
might not prove embarrassing to the readers Of the
Organ. The year has been one of prosperity in a
commercial point Of view, and the profits of our
merchants generally viii foot up satisfactorily
The following table will show the fluctuations in
some of our principal stocks at the brokers' board
at three periods during the year.

tafEttE 1etk {
In addition to what VIC have stated, In rels-
ton to the course OF these two gentlemen in
1862, in supporting Mr.. Webster, we extract
the following paragraph from a speech Of Mr..
Wcbstcr's, delivered during the Thirtieth Con.
gross. Congressional Globe, pase 1900,
my objection toslavtry Is irrespective Of lines,
and poiDte bY latitude. It takes in the whole
country and the whole question. am opposed
to it in every shape, and in every qualification
and am against any compromise of the question"
Even Mr.. Stephens" only two plans of com
promise" Thesetwo gentlemen, who pretended
to be so sensitive about the rights institutions
ofthe South, knew Mr.. Webster had made these
declarations; and yet, in 1852, they nominated
him in Georgia for the Presidency, and voted
for him in preference to General Scott, whom
they said was not sound on the Southern inst-
tutions.
They were perfectly familiar with these SEN
timents of Mr.. Webster, and yet they sustained
him for the Presidency, and succeeded in ca
joling few thousands of the citizens Of Geor-
gia to follow their lead, by representing Mr..
Webster to be a thorough Southern States
Rights man. win the people Of Georgia con-
fide in them any longera Can men be trusted
politically who win thus, In the face Of the
official record, attempt TO deceive the people?
What motive could they have had in view
Judging from the history of the past we must
conclude sel6shness was at the bottom Of it all.

The stock market has been heavy Since my last
circular, with slight decline.
Money is scarce in New York and the great COM
merciul cities, as 1t usually is during the holyday
week.. owing, in some degree, to the impending
heavy settlements and the dividends payable the
LIST Of January another reason for pressure In New
York is the heavy importations, and the necessity
merchants are under Of boarding their means for
the payment Of duties. s
Money is scarce in Washington, because the
disbursements expected on the first Of the current
month to meet expcnditurestof Congress have
been withheld, owing to the want Of organization.
Foreign exchange is without material change,
but mani tests an upward tendency Bills on Lon

at moderate rate, showing the balance Of trade

The Union of this morning contains a series
Of resolutions adopted at the last meeting Of
the jackson Association" among which is
one approving Of the policy Of General Pierce.
These resolutions are signed by "Daniel Rat
clife, of Dumfries, Va President. About two
years ago this gentleman made speech at the
famous Hard" meeting held at Cops 5a-
loon to denounce the administration for its
policy. He must be getting hungry. Nearly
allthe members Of this Association are Office
holders, including the Post Office clique. The
President must feel highly fiattered with this
testimonial Of respect from his hirelings.

lam has been cheated out Of its due number Of

Stephens, who has several times changed his
opinions, we say
1--WE live In strange world. There are many
things Of strange character about us, but nothing
seems stranger to me than the rapid change which
sometimes takes place in mems opinions upon
great questions"
In the same spcech Mr.. Ulingman, in speak
ing Of the position Of the South, says:
"Their true position was simply one Of defence,
just sentiments Of the BODY OF The people at the
North were amply sufficient to enable US to sus-
tain that position
The guarantee Of the constitution was, &C
cording to his speech in 1850, that Congress
had the sole and exclusive power TO iegislate
for the Territory, and, according to Els speech
in 1854, the people Of the Territory had the
sole and exclusive right to iegislate for them
selves, without the Intervention Of Congress
