Money and Business East.

New York, January 1.-The heavy
ialling-of in the holiday trade this year
from previous seasons, noted week ago,
has been even more marked the past
week. Usually continuing until after
New Years, il seems to have ceased this
year, according to almost universal re-
port, with Christmas Eve. Certainly
only about tile average amount OF bust
ness OF the past few months has been done,
and there is no apparent basis for any
considerable immediate Increase. The
list OF failures and suspensions, especial
" in the New England and other Eastern
cities, shows no falling off yet either in
number or amount, and cutting OF work
and wages is still largely going on. Many
of the manufacturing establishments in
New England, especially the mills, begin
the new year with fresh reduction in
wages OF 10 TO Is per cent. The partial
suspension OF coal mining operations in
Pennsylvania will become almost total
with the close OF the week, and seems
likely to remain so for month or
more. Some particular industries-nota-
bly, the great carpet-mills of Philadelphia
are having all the work they can do, but
the general situation Of all the great in
dustries is still manifestly one Of stagna-
ton, of cropping for the bottom. Money
matters have undergone no material
change, this side the water, although a
lively pricking up OF the speculative in
terest in Wall street, and the manipula-
tions OF a clique have given an apparent
and evidently only temporary stringency
to the call loan market, the rates for pa
per remaining easy, however, with more
capital offering than there is call for.
Across the water there has been some
tightening Of money rates, the past week,
especially in London, where discounts in
the open market are 81, and at
the stock exchange on govern
ment securities 8 per cont, and the
bank Of England rate was, yesterday,
advanced to per cent. The bank has
been losing bullion, this week, e924,00O
having gone out on balance, while the
proportion OF its reserve TO its total LA
bilities has fallen from 4ls to 33t per
cent. The bank OF France, on the contra
ry, is still piling up specie, having gained
0,7S2,O00 francs during the week. The
grain market, both sides the water, have
exhibited similar dropping tendency,
with n generally firm resistance 10 the
decline, and consequently, almost no
movement.

FoRSEY on BLAINE.-I have often
heard Henry Clay described, when he
marshaled his party in the House of
Representatives, both before and after he
was Speaker-his brilliant dogmatism,
his powerful rhetoric, and the fascination
OF his manners; and / can we'll imagine
Blaine during the present Congress, with
all his own rare advantages, mental and
physical, as fair likeness Of the great
Whir statesman who lorded it in the Ma
tional Legislature between so and 90
years ago. Itcan be said Of Blaine, with
truth, that he has all the requirements for
the first Office in the gift Of the people.
He Is a fine scholar, a superb organizer,
and / do not know anywhere better wri-
ter or speaker. He is temperate and
good.tempered, full Of humor, natural
statesman, and a genuine good fellow.
Added to this he IL full Of pluck, as every
body recollects, when he dressed off Ros-
coe Conkling in the celebrated controver-
sy, a few years ago, with that Sir LOTUS,
now Of the Senate; and a still more me-
morable and recent instance, when he
took issue with tho administration on the
Louisiana question. 1t deserves to be
said Of Blaine that he il not coy candi.
