THE NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
From the N: Y. Herald.

From the NJ Y Herald
Holiday week promises to be very dull one in
Wall street, If the experience OF the past week be
criterion. Naturally the end OF the year, with the
winding up OF accounts, brings about more con-
servatiye tone among moneyed men. On the present
occasion this dullness is assisted by the adjournment
OF Congress, whose proceedings are SO closely
watched by the financial community and give the
cue to the many business enterprises. The money
market has worked comfortably to borrowers on
CALL and loans on pledge or the usual collaterals
have been freely made at six to seven per cent.
There is little or no apprehension concerning the i'm
mediate future OF the Market nasmuch as the perl
odica demand for currency by the interior has been
fully supplied and capital shows disposition rather
to begin Its usual winter accumulation at this centre
The thousand and one enterprises which call 1or
Doubtless In the ensuing week we shall experience
some activity In the local money market, owing to
the calling in of loans TO prepare for the liquidation
OF the January nstalment OF interest by our nume-
rous savings banks and for payment of coupons on
railway and State bends aud like interest bearing
securities. Some money, however, soon finds its
way back again into bank.

ATTEMPT TO ROB AN EATING SALOON BY Boot
BLACK.-Last night, as private watehman was
going his rounds in the neighborhood of Sixth and
Arch streets, he noticed a small transom window
broken open over the Arch street door OF Jacksons
restaurant, at the s. e. corner OF Sixth and Arch
streets. Locking through the plate in the door, he
saw boy with small candle IN the act OF search
ing the monsy-drawer. The watchman procured
the help OF two officers, who were on their beats in
the neghborhood, and forced the door open. After
considerable difficulty they found the boy hid In a
basket in the cellar, and covered with an old cloak
belonging to a cook OF the establishment. On being
taken TO the station house he gavefhe name OF JOS
williams with residence No. 1915 Cherry street. He
was inclined to be rather impudent to the oficeis,
and did not appear to have proper fear of the law
before his eyes. nights sojourn in lonely cell,
however, somewhat changed the tenor OF his story.
On being visited this morning he gave the
name OF William Burns, and is said to
reside in a court on Second street below
Dock. He is q bOotblack and is thought to be the
person who robbed this same restaurant on another
occasion. He denies ever being in the store before
and says that his behavior last night occasoned
by his drinking too much cider, said cider making
him unconscious and irresponsible for his actions
What wicked thing cider must be 1t would be
up the incident. Gossip says that he has only been
arrested twice before once for fighting and once for
playing ball. He is supposed to belong to gang OF
bootblack robbers, some OF whom last night entered
the saloon OF Mr.. Campbell at Chesnuu street and
Franklin place. He is to have hearing at O'Clock
to-day.
