THE STOCK MARKET
The bull speculation which was the feature OF
the earlier part OF the week received Q check
toward the close, and the market ended amid
an preston OF general uncertainty concerning
the course Of future prices. There is nothing
definite IN the shape OF actual facts on which
operators can pin their iaith. and SO many false
reports and false "pointsn have been given out
that the situation at the present moment is, to
use the language OF the street, decidedly
mixed The improvement In trade elsewhere
noted win eventually make itself felt
in speculative circles, but not until
after the LIST Of January Is q really sharp upward
movement expected. The strength was most no.
ticeable in the Western roads. the advance IN
Wabash being 2k per cent, in St. Paul common
2K, in Northwestern common and In Rock
Island ~ per cent. Erie rose from 2eT
to 2sX. The feature OF nnal dealings was
Pacific Mail, which, on Friday, broke from 45X to
AK. Delaware and Lackawanna declined from
losx to 107h. The following tables OF prices viii
give the reader fuller details OF their course.

IL Identified the Man Wantcd-Whnt
He Says About the Matter.
The announcement Of the capture in Newark on
Saturday night OF Michael Sullivan, the alleged
murderer OF the venerable farmer OF Metuchen, N.
j., Daniel Talmadge, exclusively made in the
HERALD yesterday, occasioned renewed excite
ment in the neighborhood OF The OF the brutal
deed. So stirred up over the murder have the
citizens been that they came forward and offered
to defray any expenses necessary to secure Sulli-
van. Yesterday the Coroner OF Mlddlesex county
telegrapned to The Newark police authorities not
to allow reporters access to the prisoner,
but although the authorities implicitly
obeyed the Coroner's request the HERALD re-
porter did see the prisoner and ascertaned his
story. He Ii personally utterly unlike the
description given OF him by the = Mlddlesex au-
thorities, and but for detective Campbes personal
knowledge OF Sullivan he would likely be still
at large. They represented MIN as being I'VE

Sullivan took dinner at the 1almadge homestead
the day OF the murder. sullivan declares he was
not near the Darn when poor old Talmadge was
literally
FLAILED TO DEATH.
He was stopping with Munday, the man who was
nrst suspected aud arrested, but who proved an
dlfbt. Sullivan appeared confused and remained
silent when asked now he accounted for his sud-
den disappearance from the place and his unusual
spreeing around. 1t will be remembered that the
murdered man, as believed, was relieved OF $270
by the murderer. There was found on sullivan

THE 'L0NGsHOREMEN

AN End to the Strike Approaching-
The Stcsmship Companies Satisfied
with N0n-society Men.
30 far as the battle OF the 'longshoremen against
the steamship combination Is concerned 1t must
De set down as Q disastrous deieat, inasmucn as
the companies have resisted all overtures looking
toward compromise and are now employing
non-soci6ty men at their own figures. There Is no
doubt that OF all the strikes that have d,sor-
ganixed branches OF trade and business during
several years past in this city and left the mis-
guided lsborers INFINITELY worse on at their end
than when they were originated this was one OF
the most unwtse, and those engaged in it cannot
but suner from the consequences OF their rash act
Tho raising OF the general strike" enabled
those whose wages were never reduced to seek
their former employers and beg for the work
which they had voluntarily surrendered, and right
glad were they to be taken back. ZealousIy they
again commenced their old LABOR, but with tenn
pers that boded no good to the union, which COM
PEELED them TO lose SO much time ana money.
There are many intelligent. common sense indi-
alton. but they are so greatly in the minority
their words OF caution were unheeded when Ia
me meetings OF the deesates resolutions were
passed which IN reality set the faces OF the men,
,0ers t0Nard wans5s a prlvation. One wrong step
was umeyyat Il a. saithought It was rather late;
Inc ;lcsgsnorsneIs and d their former employers
WIN again bs rRsa IS pleasant basis as before
the rupture. M
the members 1are now allowed to work for the
agents and owners o saliing vessels paying the
old prices but are not permitted to work for the
stevedores wash Brothers nor for any company
that are employing non'societs men. Meanwnl.e
the raw hands are gaining much experience, ana
tne Willingness with whlcn they take hold Ia daiiy
craving them closer TO their employers from
whom they are entitled to, ana will receive, ialr
share Of confederation. The consequence OF all
this is that many ol the agents OF the larger
steamship lines empha aicaliy declared during
the week past that never again viii they nave
union men upon their oocks, or IN their employ IN
any capacity whatever La TINS way the strikers
have Increased their troubles and made the Situa-
'tion for themselves more dsc0urag1ng.
While one or two OF the steamships announced
to sail yesterday were temporarily delayed the
majority OF them LETT their oerths on time, having
their cargOcs slowed In manner satisfactory to
the ofncers and to the inspectors OF the under
writer's, who nave been very diligent In making
examinations OF this work since the strike began.
One OF the last movements oil the Governing
Council OF the union was 70 appoint committees
to wait on the Seamen's Protective Association,
and urge them not TO render any ASSISTANCE to the
steamship men, and also to insert adver tlsemenJS
in the Philadelphia and Chicago papers warning
nongsnoremen to take no notice OF the Call OF
Walsh Brothers for 1000 men,

NEW YORK, Dec 9, 1874.
The merchandise markets were characterized
by irregularlry ali through the week ending with
Saturday last ana prices were subjected to con-
stant and radical fluctuations. The erratlc move
ments OF the gold premium had something to do
with the variations in merchandise, but the 1uc-
tuatons could not be attributed altogether to that
cause. The speculative feeling mentioned before
was conspicuous feature OF the past week. and
the ups and downs OF merchandise were, In many
cases, the direct result OF this. The markets
became less and less disturbed as the
week wore on, however, and at the
close they were generally quiet money Delng
absolutely dull; but there was more general
suoyancy all through the week, and but little OF
that respondent feeling, previously obtaining. no
tceabc in any quarter. That the will be
usually quiet commercially speaking, Is generally
acknowledged to be highly probable; but 1t is hoped
that merchandise has touched bottom" and that
any change will be change for the better Compare
