Foreign exchange has been quiet and firm, the
nominal rates remaining as follows:

Themoney marketwas active and call loans ranged
from to per cent per diem early in the day. Later,
loans were made at 116G1S2 and at the close low
as per cent. There ought to be marked change in
the monetary situation during the month of January
when the immense disbursements for interest, dyi-
dends etc, are made. In discounts there a slow
business, the best names going at 10G12 per cent.
The Government bond market strong in tone,
and the advanced quotations of the past few days
were maintained. The bidding continues pretty

BANKING-OFFlCE Of rISh IN hhi'h,
No. Nassau-st., New York, jan 3, 1873.
The CHEsAPEAKE and OHIO, the CENTRAL and
WESTERN PAcIF1s BONDS, all of which have been ne
gotiated by us, we believe to be among the best and
most desirable Investment Securities in the market
which in time must become very scarce; especially
as the Government will probably, during the coming
year, pay off, in gold, another large lot OF FIVE
TwENTIEs, and issue in their place FIVE PER CENT
BONDS.
The FIRST MORTGAGE SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS
of the Company, the total amount of which is only
Sl5,OOO,OO0, are secured upon property worth
S35 100000 to S40OOO0O0 and are fully equal In in'
trusic value to the Central Pacific Bonds. They are
issued in denominations of 800, $500, and $1,000
coupon OF registered and at their present market
price, 80 and accrued interest, very desirable
The CENTRAL PACIFIC SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS
are too well known to require description OF com
mendation. Their total amount rs $25 $4,000; they
have for long time ranged in market price near or
above par-the price to-day being 1O2 to 1921, with
coupon on, due Jan. 1, of 3 per cent gold.
The WESTERN PACIFIC SIX Per CENT GOLD
BONDS amount to S2.735,OO0. This road is now con-
sodated with the CENTRAL PACIFIC, and the pay
ment of its bonds principal and interest is assumed
by them. Their market price to-day Is 92 to S2t
also with threepe cent gold coupon on due JAM l.
As they have recently been introduced on the Stock
Exchange we expect to see them rapidly rise to the
price of CENTRAL PAcIFIcs, being substantially the
same in character and value.
We buy and sell as usual Government Bonds, re-
ceive deposits, on which we allow interest, make
collections and conduct general banking business
in all it's branches. FIsK d HATCH.

The following dispatch is also made public,
and it is stated that the troops at jackson,
Miss, and other points had received orders to
proceed to Louisiana at once, in accordance
Herewith:
w.su1NGToN Nav 8. 1s73.-GEN w H. EMORY
Commanding the Department of New Orleans La. ::
If in your Judgment more troops are needed IN
Louisiana, make your call clear and specific, and
we will endeav0r to supply M Thf SHERMAN General
The news from ST. Martinsville, La, Sth, is
to the effect that skirmishing had continued all
the day, but with no serious results. Wagons
and supplies were coming in to the citizens
from all quarters, and they felt confident of
capturing the town. The Mayor of the town
had been imprisoned for high treason.
A consultation was held at Washington on
the Sth, between General Sherman, Acting
Secretary of War Robson, Attorney-General
Williams and Senator West, of Louisiana, the
subject being the condition of affairs in Lou
isiana. 1t was decided to instruct General
Emory that he should call for whatever troops
were necessary to enforce the laws and pre-
serve the public peace, but not otherwise to in
terfere, except in assisting the proper authori-
ties i'll carrying out the processes of the
courts.
At the annual meeting of the National Tenn
perancc Society, held i'll New York City on the
9th, VIM. E. Dodge, of the firm of Phelps,
Dodge Il Co., was elected President, and j. n.
Steans Corresponding and Recording Secre-
tary. The receipts for the past year were
$50, $50, and expenses S53,Si2 Resolutions
were adopted appealing to Congress to APP
point a Commission to inquire into tho liquor
traffic throughout the country, and to pass a
general law prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors i'll the United
States.
Marshal Packard telcgraphed from New Or
leans on the 9th to Acknowledgement Williams
that, having warrants for the arrest Of De-
blame and ten other leaders of the insurrec-
tionary organizations, he called upon General
Emory, who furnished Il military force of two
officers and forty men to make arrests. This
force arrived at Brashear City by rail, but
could not proceed at once TO st. Martins for
want of transportation bywater. Their arri-
val there would, he believed, end the contest.

fellows cit any of these things?" They
ren1ied that they had; that they were
mart of the perquisites OF the members,
and that all the members had received
' ssWelln saws the Virginian, "what are
the darned things fOr?" They explained,
and were in high glee for little while, but
IMAGINE their disgust when, after he had
examined each piece of muslin, he said:
con, yes, them is just like what my wife
usns Sometimes" and as he said 1t he took
q larre official envelope, put IN the hand-
kerchiefs, put on his wife's address, frank
ed it. and threw it into the mailbag
This story reminded one OF the cores
nondents Of somewhat similar one: In
the Fortv-first Congress there was Sena-
for from one of the far Western States who
had the habit of using his napkin instead
of his handkerchief 1t the dinner table.
He was a clever man, and when he came
TO hoard at one Of our most fashionable
hotels he was invited to take seat at a
table where sat a Judge of the Supreme
Court with his family. There was also,
at the same table, another prominent
Senator and very f;lstidious Journalist
and his family.
The Western Senator accepted the offer,
and on the very first day his abominable
habit was noticed. Days and days passed
by, every effort being used in the way OF
hint and innuendo to call his attention to
his gross vulgarity, but all to no use The
| question was how to stop him without
giving offence. At last one of the party
| hit on plan which was successful. lie
wrote an anonymous note, which he sent
| him The Senator got it, and it had its
effect, for never afterward was he guilty
| of his former breach of etiquette.
This reminded another correspondent
| of member from Tennessee in the last
House who was guilty Of the same offence
as the Western Senator. None of the
| regular boarders at the Ebbitt House
! could be induced to sit at the same table
with him. The same person told OF the
wife Of very prominent Senator who
gave many brilliant receptions last winter,
| and who always asked the society reporter
Of the newspapers to speak of her
diamonds Her diamonds were nothing
but the Alaska diamonds bought in a dol
lar jewelry store. The way the fact came
out was that the many illusions to Mrs.
Senator SO-and-so's beautiful diamonds
led the dollar jewelry man to use it as an
advertisement with his other customers.
