FINANCE AND BUSINESS. WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW. Tuesday Evexio, Dec. 23. MOS KY MATTERS. It li practically Impossible for any person to obtain the lea-t fa vr at the banks wauls not a constant and valuable customer. In some Instances they ha e bseu known wlthla the past week to beg for time on a large check. 1 bit is due to the absorption of all availab funds tor the pirk business, which will tie up mney for five or nix weeks longer. The distribution of cash la the country, however, helps collections on country merchants, and the mercantile trade make tbe best reports on tbe situation. The'ework Tribineof Monday mattes tbe following comments: More ao'lvtty la hopefully looked for after tbe commencement of the new year. The money market has b en irregular and at higher lending rates, wh en is not uu usual at this seaion of tbe year. Mon y on 011 baa for the greater part of the week commanded the legal rate of Interest, with now and men a trmstotlon at 1-61 or l-ftt per diem, and the money, exebange and gold markets at tbe los of the week felt the effect of loans of swing exchange ou stock collaterals. While tbe general sentiment of the street has beeu quite barlsb for several days past, there ae many who anticipate higher prices soon after New Year's people who are looking for what the term the usual "January rise." We shall soon se whether or not they are doomed to disappointment. PROGRESS OF PORK PACKING. COMPARATIVE FIUÜRBS OF 1874 AND 1875. The stalls loa given below are famished to the Sentinel by J. 11.

CvKN. Next to th hog crop the corn market is the topic of lend 1 u Interest to the Weit at tbl season. Tbe evident tendency of the market Is toward a dec' luf. The price baben disturbed dating tbe pnt vwk by an advance of five cents rn ir-astern IrelghU. A soon as the mar ket again bc.me Ublhhd, it Is probable corn will move tomevbu more actively, anlees the price Is still farther depressed. In regard to whkat. Tbe Cincinnati Prtce C'nrrent entertains the fb'io ing view: Tnempilyoa the markets Is xniic'.i larger tbn Ian year.

HULL A CO. THE PERILS OF POVERTY. A JUDGE WHO WA8 TOUCHED BY THE TENDER TALE OF A VAG. The New York Herald of Wednesday tays: It is safe to say thai tbiee-ßtihs ot tbe entire number ot prisoners convicted in the general aaeaions are young men between the age of eighteen and twenty-six, charged with tbeit; aod it is equally safe to aay that very lew of them, after serving periods of Imprisonment, ever return to the ways of hone sly. Of course, among those who ate daily arraigned at the bar there are some professional thieves and burg'ars, but a very large number of them are Intelligent and respectable looking young men, wbo, being discharged Irom maoutrctorles and warehouse In consequence ol tbe dullness ol trade, bave lived from hand to naoutn wnue seeKing ecr.piojment, and, falling In obtaining any. have been driven to despair aod dishonesty. Just ss, ou some dark and 8 ormy night, a suddeu flsh of lightning, reveals to tbe com placent citizen, looking from bis parlor wiudow, tbe ravage done by tbe tempest, so uow aod then flits across tbe norlzou ol our courts a case which gives a strttlnwt iosigbt into the destitution and ruin tbatbave been, wrought to many by tbe great financial storm of 1373 and the dreadful business de presslon tbat baa follow? din its track. Such a case came up before J udge Sutherland y-e-terday. George 8ml b, a respectable lux klog young man of twenty six, a waiter by otuf atloo.was arretted for larceny la having snatched au umbrella from the ban sol Mrs. Jane Hail, of No. 44 Horatio s reet, Dile ane wa walking along West Nintb etret, on the9-h lost. The prisoner pleaded guiltv, and toll a story which moved tie sjinpatbiea of all who beard it. It appeared tbat be had been out of employment for a loog time; tbat be bad tramped tbe streets for ds s In f arch of wrk, but in Tain; tbat he I ad slept in tbe si xlft precinct rva ion bouse, with the permission of Captain L iwery, for a week previous to bis arrest; that he bad entreated tbe autborities to end htm to Jll as a vagrant, tbat lie mlgbt bave food and shelter, and tbat upon tfceir refusal to do so he had committed tbe larteny with which be was charged, in order to compel tbeui to take him from the cold etteet. Judge Sutherland was touched by tbe tale, and re manded tbe prisoner without sentence to await an inquiry irto the case. While C-ll oruia pioducbs eight rclllicn gallons ol wine, tne borne oneumpiion does not amount to tnoie than one miili n and a bait of gallons. In first bnds tbe wims are kntiwa to bs absolutely pure. tor wnich reason tbey are extensively imita eiby a frsudulent article abroad, or so adulterated a to en'lrely loe their original virtue and davor.

1873. SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY We Invite the attention of the pubVlc to Bcribner's Monthly, which now deservelly ranks among the best lUustrstad periodicals of the world. The papers Illustrative of American Scenery, which have appeared in Its pages, among which were included "The Wonders of the YellowStone" and the"ürand Canon of the Colorado,' have won wide-spread admiration on both sidesofthe Atlantic; and "The Oreat Bouth articles, with their beautiful engravings, have been reissued In book form In both Ureal Britain and America. Forthe coming year we have broader plans than ever before. The magazine will be enlarged, and there will be THREE RBMABKA3LB SERIAL STORIES BY AMERICAN WRITERS. "Gabriel Conroy," bj Bret Harte, Of which the Boston Post says: "It la a serial that will make every new number of Bcribnerw eagerly sought for, I it had nothing else to recommend it. The Canadian Illustrated News predicts that "we have found at last the American novel. The Louisville Courier-Journal says: "The second installment is even stronger than the first, Justifying all that was looked for. We begin in January "PHILIP NOLAN'S FRIENDS." BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE. 1 his Is an historical romance. Tbe scene Is laid in the Southwest, at a time when that territory was first Spanish, then French, and then American, and when war was imminent, to obtain tbe control of tbe mout b of tbe Mississippi. It Is likely to be the great romance of the Mis alsaippl Valley, as C4abrle.le Con roy will be of the Paclflc Slope. "That Lass o Lowrie's," BY FANNY HODGSON BURNETT.
