In regard to the Cumberland Coal Company,
whose stock ran up this afternoon five per cent.
We learn that Brown Brothers n Co. and others
have agreed to advance money TO pay of its en-
Sire bonded debt, making the necessary loan for
nsteeb years atsix per cent interest, without the
Bsual commissions or other charges. They have
also loaAed the company, TO be used as a working
capital 140 900 for five years. at the same rate Of
5aterost, secured by second mortgage.
The gold market was active to-day, and prices
san up in the afternoon, large sales having been
rnAde. The following were the nnntatiQns:--

The bill introduced in the United States Senate
o. Tuesday by Senator Lane, of Kansas, making
gambling in god as it is carried on in the vicinity
Of Wall street, q misdemeanor, seems to have had
no effect upon prices. The evil which the resolu-
zion aims to rectify would not be abolished even If
II should become law. The regular exchange
would probably be broken mp, and the three days
time sales would no longer be made; but other.
wise the transactions would be carried on in the
same manner as now. Mr.. Lane evidently has
very little knowledge of Wall street, or he
weuld never have attempted TO break down
90 formidable an organization the gamblers in
gold have perfected by so weak weapon as his
resolution would prove. If the law passes Con.
gress, the transactions will take place almost en-.
tirefy along the curbstones, by brokers whose Of.
Aces are in the crowns Of their hats in their over
coat pockets, and the deliveries would be made at
some designated headquarters in the vicinity. By
this means gambling would be carried on TO .
mech greater extent than it is at present, a. the
same parcel of gold could be sold and resold
ee2en times during single day, while at present
. sale is seldom perfected before one OF two
o'clock In the afternoon.
The business at the Office of the Assistant Trea-
surer to-day was as follows

Included in the above receipts is 1896 600 for
ssstoms. The government has now in the vaults
sf the sub-Treasury in this city over eleven mil
Hons in coin, portion Of which will be distributed
aater the LIST OF January in payment Of interest
some Of the government securities.
The Comptroller of this city invites, until the
water bonds of the city of New York, bearing in
terest ut the rate Of five per cent per annum, pay
able quarterly, and the principal reimbursabIe on
the let Of November, 1879.
A number of plots Of land situated in Dubuque
and other parts of the State of Iowa. belonging to
the Artisans Bank, of this city, sold yester-
day al auction, and brought the aggregate amount
Of about &c, $50.
The steamship Scotia took out to-day s452, ,Is7

The new Board Of Directors of the Canton Com
pany, il is announced, have determined TO dispos,
Of their water privileges at Baltimore, which will
probably prove Of great advantage to the city
and enable the company to refund their capita
