FINANCE AND BUSINESS.
GENERAL MARKET REVIEW.

ONG VI n EA1s
The trade of the city may be said TO be
easy in regard to money. The distri-
button of currency through the coun-
try in exchange for hogs and grain begins to
be felt decidedly in the payment OF debts
and purchase of goods. The rilis of cash
dow freely, uniting and turning the health
ful stream upon the city. For real values,
cash can be readily obtained, for sPecula-
ton nobody has either money or DISPOSE
ton. The New York Bulletin of Dec. III ssys;
The money market here was easy, with
call loans 3 to > per cent. The currency
shipments to the interior have very much
abated. but to-morrow's bank statement, IL
is expected, will show a further consider
able reduction in reserve.

ACTIVITY IN TEA.

Within the last week a large business has
been done in oolong and japan tea. the
sales of the former from importers hands
a~ggregstlng $4,000 packages, and OF Japan
1900 packages. This is a gratifying owl
dence Of reviving animation in a trade which
for some time previous was in a very dull
state. Owing to immense importations
from China and Japan and the staguation
of trade. prices have been materially
depressed for a long time past, and
even the continued recourse TO the auc-
ton room could not keep down the sccumu-
lation inevitable by constant arrivals from
the growing countries-the steamers, In adj
dition 10 the receipts by sailing vessels,
bringing a large quantity. This improve
ment in the trade at the close OF the year, it
Is hoped, may be accepted as a %iorerunner of
a more cheerful condition Of this important
branch of during the coming 1875.

has been revived by Mr.. Tilton

reinstatement of denial, as has
Mrs. Tilton also. The matter is
being investigated by a commit.
tee from Plymouth Church. Its
latest phase is the arrest Of Til.
ton for libel. The arrest is sup
posed to have been in the inter-
rest Of Tilton, to take the MATER

and get it in the Courts, where
the attendance OF witnesses may
be compelled and an impartial
trial be had.
