Friday, Dec. u?8P. at.)
A strong effort la being made to depress the
prices olstocks, and at the (.lose they were lower.
The Influence was chieflr lelt in Western Union,
Erie, Lake Shore, Northwest,Ohio and Mississippi,
Wabash and Union Pacific. There is no reason, I
however, why opinion should be expressed lavor
able to lower figures. The question to be answered |
by speculators is whether the market in which '
they deal has not already telt its bot- j
torn Influences, and whether there is not
something in what they have learned at home
and abroad calculated to elicit confidence. If it I
be true that the West is tin proving; that the !
South is making a remunerative crop; that manu
facturers, notwithstanding their contest with the
laboring classes, can still present profitable re- |
suits; that grain, Iron, coal and cotton continue '?
to be successiul lactors in tue financial sum upon !
which speculation is basing its work, then we may i
look for higher commercial values in all depart
ments of trade, and encouragement for every '
business man to periorin to the utmost the pur
poses upon which he has entered. There are some
offsets to this encouraaintr view, in the main,
however, there is enough that may be compre
hended in the Idea of tne nation's growth
to warrant the assertion that as a
people we are not commercially retrograd
ing. We are losing nothing In the way
?of foreign purchase, but, like the people of F.ance,
are beginning to learn the lesson that true na
tional wealth consists in personal economy. Look
ing the country over, u seems as If we had
"turned a corner." Speculators may here and
there fly off at a tangent, but there is nothing in
the prospects of the New Year that forbid mod
erate ventures or the making of contracts that
will amply repay patient waiting. The people are
getting on their feet. The course of prices during
the day will be found In tables wnich follow.

TBI FOREIGN MARKET.
London advices report the rate of discount In
the open market at 5*, or * per cent below the
bank rate. It is generally believed on the other

strong. Mr. Emmet Wells, In his circular of this date, .
writes as follows:?"Our revised quotations this week 1
show an advance of from two to tlve cents per lb. on
the new growth, Californlans sharing the larger ad
vance. Trade during the week hus been quite active,
both for exixirt and lor consumption. The dealings
have been chiefly In New York state hops, and ou a
cash basis ot 40c. to 48c.; strictly choice lota have ;
changed hands at our outside quotation of 47c. The
market is gradually strengthening, and everybody 1
seems coatlueut in still higher vulucs. The prices
we quote, it should be remembereu, are such us
arc realized on cash transactions between dealers and
shippers; brewers buying on time have to pay an ad
vance ubove our figures. Shippers say there Is nothing
to warrant prices going up at tills time, and predict that
it there be much more of an advance here without a
corresponding improvement in London the tendency 1
will be to stop exportation. Our London correspon- I
deuce Indicates that that market is gaining streugtn,
and, as s.ocks arc becoming much reduced, an advance !
in prices is pretty sure to take place there before many i
days. While the foreign markets keep up there is no !
probability ol our markets declining." We quote:?New '

DARING NOON-DAY BURGLARY.
A bold and daring burglary was committed at
noon yesterday at the residence of Mr. C. K~
Ilawkes, No. 22 East Sixty-ninth street, and prop
erty to the amount ot 92,00* stolen. The circum
stances were as follows. At aboct half-past
twelve o'clock Miss Hawkes, the danghter of the
occupant of the house, went to her room on the
second story, where she found the bureau drawer*
extendeJ and their oontents Mattered around.
Calling to her mother, who was In the parlor, tne
>onng ladv alinded to the strange appearance or
the room, but the latter could give no explana
tion. Miss Hawkes then remembered that
she had heard somo s;range noises in the
house a lew minutes beiore, and the ladiei
at otico came to the conclusion that
a burglar was in the house. Hastily
summoning aid from the nelchbors they made
nn investigation and found that their fears were
realized. The burglar bad effected an entrance
through the scuttle on the roor and had broken
open the aittc door, which was locked, aud
descended thence to the scene of his operations.
The adjoining house nas been vacant lor some
time, and, undoubtedly, the burglar took advan
tage of it in getting up on the root. It was round
that in all some t'AOuv worth of property, consist
ing mainly ol costly jewelry, was taken. Tha mat*
ter is in tne hands of the police.
