NEW YORK, Dec 23.-The Posts financial arti-
Gle says: The stock exchange opened strong, and
SO continued until noon, when downward re-
action in the stock market began, and is in pro-
gresS as we write. United States bonds are
strong, at unchanged quotations. Choice rail-
road Investments are strong, On the demand to
reinvest January income; and it is not unlikely
that as the result Of the per cent. legal rate of
interest, which goes into effect January 1st. this
class OF securities will advance near to price
that will yield the buyer per cent on his pur-
chase In some cases, wholly hrSt-claSS bonds,
prices are already up to that standard, while in
others there's considerable gap yet to be closed.
We speak in the matter, it is perhaps unneces-
sary to remark, only of securities of undoubted
value and of assured income. There are very
as bonds; and the most careful discrimination
should be used by buyers disposed In their in
vestments to 90 outside Of mortgage bonds on
profitable railroads. The speculative stocks
most active to-day are Erie, Wabash and Pa
c1fic, Lake shore, Kansas and Texas, and the
coal stocks The money market Is active at
per cent. on United States bonds. Trust
loans are per cent, which is also the
quotation for prime mercantile paper We
have before remarked on the fact that this
year currency comes back slowly; ordinarily the
drift by this time in the year is strongly to-
ward New. York, but we find that as yet more
currency is going away from the city than is
coming to 1t. Southern and western cores
pondents are reluctant to believe how great Is
the dearth of currency here. But the fact Is
that many establishments have for weeks been
obliged to pay the wages due from them In

The Maryland State Temperance Alliance is
busy canvassing the state In the interest Of

to the legislature from several OF these counties

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Public vs.. Private NIarket

GEORGETOWN, ID. c., December 90, 1879.
Editor Sdr In your issue of Friday, the 18th
instant, we notice under the head '.The Market
house Question" Commissioner Dent is reported
to have said that 80 in other cities private mar
kets are superceding public markets altogether.
In Georgetown private markets do most OF the
business, while the old market house Is almost
abandonded. He favored the system OF private
markets" Now this comes in rather bad taste
from the Commissioner whom we supposed rep
resented Georgetown, and we most respectfully
beg leave to differ from him. Mr.. Dent has been
long and favorably known as an advocate for
private markets, and 1t is well established fact
that the corporation market would to-day be
doing most thriving business were it not that
certain we'll known wealthy butchers and 9TH
erS seeded from the Georgetown markets and
established, on their own account another called
1.-The Butchers Market AS it is, we do not
complain. II let alone. but every obstacle is
thrown in our way; in shape of fines, heavy rents
and licenses while certain huckSters and butch
rs have been allowed to vend their meats and
country produce in Market Space just outside
the market, without license, In defiance of cor
poration laws. We feel confident that If Mr..
Dent were to make himself more familiar with
us, and understand how we have been treated
for several years past, he would form better
opinion OF the Georgetown market,

MARRIED AT M1DNIGHT-Justiee Of the Peace
John Otto, Of Newark, was aroused at midnight
recently by violent knocking at the door OF
his dwelling on william street. Answering the
summons, he found party of several men and

two of their number. The justice with a smile
so bland invited the nocturnal visitors up stairs,

A DESPERATE NEGRO BURGLAR.
He Nearly Kills a Woman, but is

WOrSted by q Stout Irish Girl
Mary Redford, an aged white cook in the employ
OF Gen. John Hendrickson, of IA West 18th
street, went down to the kitchen to prepare for
negro burglar who had entered the premises, and
felled to the floor by blow from club. Once
or twice she screamed, but the blows rained
down upon her head thick and fast, and she
lost consciousness rapidly. The mulatto,
kneeling upon her breast and choking her with
one hand finished his work, as he clearly
thought, with terrible blow upon the back Of
the defenseless womans head, that cut open
the scalp, and, in all probability, broke the
skull then left her motionless on the floor, and
turned again to the front room, where, heaped
Spoons ms and r1 Tnves Kate Brady who had a been
late following her fellow servant down stairs,
had heard the first cry of the cook, and
ran dWn TO ddd the sSn cause As she

kitchen: On the floor she saw there the appar--
entity lfeless body of the cock, from whosehea
the blood flowed profusely. The sight reused
her to fury, and she seized the assassin by the
throat and tore his collar and necktie
into shreds. He struck her with clenched fists
in the face and endeavored to get her down, but
the girl held on, shouting at the top OF her
voice, and using her hands to such purpose that
the mulatto turned to run. AS he retreated to the
kitchen window the girl followed, and tore the
coat nearly from his back in an attempt to hold
him till help came. The fellow escaped and hid
himself in an clubhouse in an adjoining yard.
The entire block was aroused, but it was de-
cided that the burglar had probably escaped into
47th street, and the pursurers turned their
attention to the bleeding and apparently
dying cook. Dr. Ewing was called In
and found her injuries very severe if not fatal.
Three large wounds on the head had evidently
been caused by a heavy club OF blunt instru-
ment; her right shoulder was nearly twisted
from its socket, and she seemed to suffer from
severe internal injuries Of the chest; Mrs
Redford is woman Of 65 years, and grave
fears were entertained for her life at noon TO-
unconscious. The burglar was afterwards dis
covered in his hiding place. When arrested he
was very cool, and wanted to know what the
matter was, He gave the name Of John Rob-
ertson, aged 50, OF SO East 63d street On his
person were found some burglars tools, and
silver knives and forks, belonging to Gen: Hen
Erickson. 1t is supposed he entered the house
in the evening before the doors were closed and
secreted himself until the morning.
