TIE MONEY MARKET.


SATURDAY, Dec. 25-P. NJ.
For the five business days of this week this, Christ
mas of course being close holiday there rs nothing
new be said of the general trade of the CITY, ex
cept perhaps that it has been, If anything, trine
more dull than during the week Immediately pre-
ceding it. More activity is hopefully looked for
after the commencement Of the new year. The
money market has been irregular and at higher lending
rates. which is not unusual at this season Of the
year. Money ON call has for the greater part of the
week commanded the legal rate Of interest, with
now and then a transaction nj lG4 or l82 per diem
and the money exchange and gold markets Mt the
close of the week felt the effect of loans OF
sterling exchange ON stock collatersls. Coy
eminent bonds, with the exception OF the cur
rency issues have declined 4 70 a per cent, in sym
pathy with the gold premium, which Is q per cent
lower than on last Saturday. Southern State bonds
have been dali and heavy, while railway mortgages
have been in moderate request at firm prices
for the better class, holders anticipating. no
doubt an investment demand after the distribution
Of the January interest and dividends The stock
speculation has reached only moderate business III
volume and at very generally dropping prices. The
Lake Shore speculation has been the feature OF the
week more than half the entire business having
been done in this stock, and while there has
been very general decline in prices, Lake
spect. The renewal of the railway war among
the trunk lines has no doubt somewhat intertcred
with the prospects of the bull pool in the leading
fancy. While the general sentiment of the street
has been quite beosh for several days past there are
many who anticipate higher prices soon after New
Years-peopie who are looking for what they term
the usual January rise" We snail soon see
whether or not they are doomed to disappoint-
ment. Comparing yesterdays final quotations

his bread and meat, and retired to closet to
eat 1t alone. Bat there is spiritual life that is
to be fed and sustained, and it iH starved where
there is no grace, not only before, but during
meal.
The great trouble with our American life is.
that 1t ia too gloomy. We take no time to en-
tertain and amuse each other. Not seldom does
it happen in some houses, that meal progresses
in dead silence, except when IT Is necessary 10
speak about the dishes, or to help some one to
potatoes or pie. This is almost as bad as rude
ness or quarreling. There ought to be bright,
sparkling talk in which the children
should be allowed TO join. There is
no sense, whatever, in compelling an
intelligent child to sit like deaf mute at the
table; though on the other hand, children should
not monopolize the conversation. nor be al
lowed to ask strings of irreyelant questions.
Every one should prepare for the table by some
simple process of dressing. The hair should be
smooth, the hands washed, tue general appear
ance of each should try to be as agreeable as
possible to every other. 1t is quite wonderful
how little freshlng of the toilet freshens up
the soul as well as the face. So far We ought
all to be luxurious. III tile mother sees 10 ~,
that her school-boy SONS always come to dinner
with clean hands, and nails, and that her daugh-
ters never dawdle into tawdly tinery or soiled
wrappers, she will do more than she dreams OF
in the work of making them grow into real
gentlemen and ladies'.
The table itself ought to have a festive look.
Flowers have special grace on the DreaRlast
board, dish of fruit nicely arranged, pleases
the eve as well as the palate at dinner. Clean
linen, even though coarse, and whole plates and
cups with bright glass and silver, help appetite
along. A few well cooked dishes, however plain,
nicely served will promote health and happiness
better than great variety ruined in the prepara-
tion.
Some housekeepers, with an eye to saving
trouble on washing day, have adopted the. mar
bed oil-cloth, instead OF the white damask fol-
| ordinary use. For our part, we would iprefel
economy in almost any other way. line white
table-cloth, or buff or crimson one occasionally
| for breakfast or tea, will furnish forth the fam
| ily feast much more beautifully.
