NEW YORK, November 17.-New York is radiant
i these frosty November days. Broadway and Fifth
| Avenne are illuminated with che Autumn tints o.
| the latest fashions. The brown-hued Bismarck
and the scarlet and purple colors Of the new prom
enade toilettes in the endless living panorama o.
these two great thoroughfares, are more thar
brilliant in this sparkllng atmosphere. And YET
| those to the manor born declare New York is
| duili To the casual visitor, however, it seems
always full of people, and, Judging from the slim
| accommodations at the hotels, is now overfowing
| Wall and William, too, and Broad and New streets
| ara as thronged as ever, and the Bulls and Bears
| of these financial marts speculate with as much
activity in the precious metals and worthless
stocks as If one was as good as the other.
| WHAT WALL STREET SAYS.
"The street." though, has its eye steadily on
Washington, and the unanswerable inquiries meet
one on every hand What Will MIR. McCulloch re-
finances ?" Until their policies are developed mo-
new will be frightened little, and the books care
| fully balanced as the new year comes along. The
real speculators the gol5 and stock gamblers, not
only demand that Congress shall put an end to
Mr.. McCullochs present power to contract the
currency but that it shall initiate it, that money
NAV be easier, stocks bulled, and prices put upl
| One of them presented the argument in this wise
| "Before the war we had about five hundred mil
| lions of currency and some SIX hundred millions
stantially some eleven hundred millions Of dollars
of currency Now, said he, the business of the
country is greater, and demands at least thou
sand millions of currency" lie did not reckon IN
his credits in this calculation nor concede that q
largely inflated currency and credit system would
ultimately envelop the country in ruin. In short,
it NAV be said that New York thinks more on fnan-
ca legislation than it does on reconstruction. But
to other things.
THEATRICAL DoNas.
The dramatic season this Fall Is a great sue
cess and vet it can hardly be called dramatic, for
the legitimate drama is only on the boards at Wal
lacks Managers here as in France, are material
ists looking only to receipts which, in these times,
are made up OF electric and calcium lights, and
plenty OF blue fire, TO show OF three or four hum
dred semi-nude beauties. If the proceeds of this
illepitimate drama were published side by side
with the receipts OF the legitimate drama, accord
ing to q new Paris CUSTOM it would be seen that
the former would quadruple the latter. The Black
Crook is in the second year OF its existence, and
yet it is almost impossible to get seat at Niblos,
unless you engage it, at the shortest notice, day
in advance. And so it is with Mid-Summers Night
Dream at the Olympic, which, for line scenical ef-
feet certainly surpasses the Black Crook, although
it has no ballet. II. c. Jarrett has just arrived in
new attractions for the Black Crook. The old
Grace Church, on Broadway, above Bond street, is
now known as the New York Theatre, with the
Worren Sisters as managers. They are playing a
dramatization of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher g
Ledger novel of Norwood gotten up by that dra
Howard, Jr., of the Times. dropped in for mo-
ment at the Norwood matinee yesterday, and found
the theatre half full OF sentimental old maids,

for his story to be dramatized. Bonner furnished
the advance sheets, so that the drama could be
made complete.
THE NRwsPAPER WORLD.
A few words journalistic. The Herald has not
been sold and what ia more, can't be bought. All
cf the stories about its being sold to Weed,
from the fact that old man Bennett took his son 8
name from the head of the paper as manager, and
also dropped the "James Gordon Bennett, Sr.,"'
until little family difference between father and
SON could be reconciled. Young Bennett is back
after two weeks absence managing the paper, and
the old gentleman comes down twice week from
Washington Heights to look the establishment
over. The Herald, with D, a. Craig in the back
ground, starts new opposition Associated Press
on January 1st, but so far none OF the outside
press have joined it, which, If continued, insures
the early demise Of the new concern. The latter,
however, are making largo promises, and declare
that they will print cable news twenty-tour hours
ahead Of the old association, and thus compel the
Now York and the outside press to come over.
The Western Press decline to connect themselves
with the new concern for two reasons. They are
satisfied that IL they do 30 they will be trlbutory to
the Herald while their experience Of Blk weeks in
the opposition last year does not give them much
faith In the promises and professions of D. ID.
Craig. The New England press prefer to watch
and wait tefore taking any action.
Ghaa A. Dana's Observation-Disclosures not agreed
on since Bennett took it and placed it on his even
ing Telegram-is expected to come out January
1st 1t will be an evening paper, very Radical, but
it is said by the newspaper men, will have hard
time to get circulation in the face OF the &c iour
new evening papers here, the Gazette, Mail, Tele.
gram and News, which fly over Manhattan Island
in the afternoon as thick as snow fakes
OF the older New York journals but little can be
said. The non-commtttal Times still surprises the
politicians and newspaper mon, and has evidently
course. 1t will probably be Grant Presidential

The Ristori fever is again raging here. There
are Ristor gloves, CATERS, handkerchefs, bonnets,

bars furnish all kinds of Rstori drinks. Ristori
