FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
PiTILADELPHIA, December 27,1861
Thu stork market is rather unsettled, and the amount
of business transacted light. The stock of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company advanced ),;, and Camden and
Amber Railroad shares gained X. , State bonds and City
loans were not so firm as on yesterday.
The money market is inert and dull. Only the best
known and approved names can be sold, and of these
- very few notes are offered for sale. The result of the
Mistrust no long shown hy capitalists and bankers to
wards business paper is becoming more and more appa
rent in the growing scarcity of paper, many of the largest
&Mora in all branches of trade refusing to sell goods ex-
cept for cash.
Renewed efforts will be made to induce Congress to
loss a general bankrupt law at the present session, and
cerininly If ever there was a time when the propriety of
finch en enactment should not be Questioned, the present
is that time. Thousands of honest men all over the
Northern States have been suddenly cut off from even
the hope of collecting the moneys duo them in the Muth•
Ern half of the country and compelled by political causes
to suspend pa) mind themselves. To keep a crushing
votshe of old debts hanging like a millstone around
the inns of these MO is only to deprive the
country of the benefit of their industry, intelli
gence, enterprise, and experience for no good
or practical purpose whatever. It is meet anti
fitting that they should be released front further
liability on the surrender of all they possess to
their creditors. The law can never release a man front
ttiotol obligation:, :ttsl the honest man who egenum
lates wealth in future labors will be likely to pay his
debts to the last dollar. The prospect of the credi
tors receiving full pay from the honesty of the
debtor le greater when the debtor is released Pram
the legal disabilities than it can be while, as at
present, the debtor is by law prevented from making
attempts to recommence business. He remains now
comparatively useless and unprodeCtive. Ile and his
'family are mole or less dependent upon the labor and
means of others for their very subsistence, while, if legally
freed from old debts, ha might not only aiipport himself'
mid his children, but accumulate new resources for the
:benefit of the community. Thorn are many subjects of
imperlanso demanding the attention of eofigrees ha the,e
times of trouble, but scarcely any of more vital con
pamence than this subject of a just and wise general
bankrupt law.

The New York Evening Post, of this evening, says:
The course of the stock market this forenoon is muchthe
game as yesterday. The outsiders before the Board were
anxious sellers of Central, Erie, ke., at lower fignres
than the last sales of Thursday while at the Board the
market was again stiff, and the buyers predominated.
New York Central rose as high as 77, , i5r77,4, although
Offered early in the morning at 76%07671. The cause of
or influence to this firmness is yet a puzzle to a good
inane of the street direetors_ They seem to have beau at
fault in attributing it wholly to the Story of tie release
of Slidell and Mason from Fort Warren.
Against the rise it is alleged this morning that financial
relations beta een the banks and the Treasury — the latter
calling upon the former to-day for d3,ram,ooo ill goid—
Is rendering the money market tighter. Abstractly this
may be, and probably is, true; but if the sale of stocks
Ls On contract merely—that is, shorten the enloulatlon
of a fall in the money market, and there is no real
Tressure of cash stocks—the argument is greatly weak
ened. The political and faSitaff WWII ill the morning
papers has apparently no marked Influence. At the same
rime there is said to be private advice from Washington
•
of a pacific nature on our difficulty with England.
The Western shares llud support in the returns of
traffic for the second and third weeks in December. The
Galena line more than doubles the third week of last De

ture.loving portion of our eiti2ensois will be seen from
our advertioing columns, are to have a rare intellectual
treat from that distinguished orator, Rev. Mr. Milburn,
of New York, formerly chaplain to Congress. Wherever
this gentleman has lectured he has uniformly secured
large and appreciative audiences. His great and min
gling lecture on " What a Blind Man Saw in England"
mill be r.eetillaely attractive at (big DlR6tlige.
A SPLEICAID NEW YEAR'S GlFT.—Gentle
men who have not yet selected presents for their lady
friends should hem iu mind that Messrs. Charles Oak.
ford & Done, under the Continental Hotel, are selling
out their magnificent sets of Ladies' Furs at almost half
the usual prices. Ladies will also find in this stock a
auperb assortment of articles suitable for presenting to
gentlemen. The. e are a thousand things of taste and
mtility in their departments of Gent's Furnishing Goods,
Hats and Caps, and Fine Military Goods, which would
make a beautiful and appropriate Hew Year's Gift.
FINE FRESH NEW YEAR'S CONFECTION'S AT
E. G. WHITMAN R Co.'s.—Tbe past two days have been
occupied by Messrs. E. G. Whitman & Co, Second
street, below Chestnut, in making up a Fresh Supply of
their fine confections, especially for New Year. Every
family in Phil idelphin should have a budget of these
preperutiolo., n order to inaugurate the nen
year pleasantly.
A UNIVERSAL PRESENT.—The making of

custom that no one should ignore it, especially as a most
beautiful gift can he purchased, at a very trifling cost, at.

WAR WITH ENGLAND!—How startling the
thought! Yet our present rebellion was fraught with
snore horrors in anticipation of the fratnellal arife—eivn
war—brother against brother—and other thonghts so
heart-rending, that men good and true, were, for a time,
willing to throw overboard all principle for peace—turn
Cowards and cravens, and prove themselves - unworthy a
Government, so deep bad the love of trade and gain set
tled in the public mind; yet, now, who would sue for
tales at the expense of principle ? And we are satisfied
that it our action is from motives of Amur, we may defy
She world. Every avenue of trade la full' mechanics
and artisans are in demand, as 111 estisrieneed every day
by large manufactorie s bonne:ft, such as Charles Stokes'
I/Was-Price Clothing Store, under the Continental
'Toted, notwithatanding the advanced wages to work
linen. •
A DOOMED CITY.—A largo portion of
Charleston has been laid waste by fire, and the last re.
„malting hope of regaining the ancient prosperity of the
town has been destroyed by the permanent sealing up of
the main channel to its harbor by the stone fleet. In the
loyal North, our ...aies are prosperous, and our people are
isappy, as may be seen Ant paying a visit to the Brown
Stone Clothing Hall of Rocktall & Wilson, Nos. 603 and
805 Cheated street; above bath. where A regiment of
skilful operatives work merrily and briskly to supply the
wants of thousands of civilians and soldiers, who need
their services to promote their comfort and the elegance
of their appearance.
