CURRENT TOPICS. 
The Fifth Avenue Hotel Fire. 
A fire occurred in Fifth Avenue Hotel, this 
city, the night of December lULh, by whioht.cn 
servant girls in a single sixth story room wore 
suffocated and horribly burned. The details of 
how the tire caught, spread and wasextinguish- 
ed arc mi important, nor Is the damage done to 
tho building of any consequence compared 
with the bare, horrible fact we have slated 
above, of course it is supposed that some one 
was to blame, but the verdict will probably be 
the reverse. The fact stated, however, ought 
to deter people from living or sleeping in such 
elevated rooms without some available means 
for escape always at hand. Every room ought 
to be supplied with rope ladders, properly and 
permanently fastened and reaching to tho 
ground. _ 
Inc,easing the President’s Salary. 
It is now proposed to increase the salary of 
the President of the 1"tilted States to $50,0*10 per 
year and limit his term of office to six years, 
permitting no re-election. We arc in lavor of 
ono term, but we would make it six or eight 
years; and we do object lo a $50,000 salary. 
With the appropriations annually made for 
"contiugent expenses," and the care that Con¬ 
gress takes of the White House, we believe it 
too much, _ 
No More Assessors and Assistant Assessors. 
The House of Representatives has passed a 
bill abolishing the offices of Assessor and As¬ 
sistant Assessor, and transferring their duties 
to the Collectors and Deputy Collectors. The 
act is to lake effect July 1.187.1. It requires 1 lie 
latter officers to give additional bonds for the 
discharge of their new duties. We hope this is 
a retrenchment measure, though we eatiuot 
congratulate ourselves that it is until we see 
the text of the bill. 
The Philadelphia Centennial. 
There >b another scheme now to deplete the 
United Stares Treasury in order to further tho 
schemes of a few speculators. Philadelphia 
asks Congress io appropriate money in aid of 
the proposed Centennial Exposition. This is 
absurd; it is outrageous tj ask the people of 
♦ his country to make any such contributions. 
We hope t he people will see to lt that their Rep¬ 
resentatives In Congress do no sucti tiling.

THE MARKETS. 
MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS. 
New York. Monday, Dec. 10,1872. 
The Money market through ihe past week worked 
with much closeness, and borrowers, of all classes, 
are now looking to tho New Year for ouster rates 
and a more comfortable supply. Discounts, not ac¬ 
commodated at Bank, are 12 percent, on the St reet, 
and the stock Broker* urc paying 76*8 per cent, for 
the uae of temporary balance* from day to day. The 
Treasury will disburse *35.000.000 in Gold aud *1,800,- 
000 in Currency for Interest on the Public Debt: due 
.Jan. 1. and ill© various States, Railroad Corporations, 
Banks, etc., ■w ill pay out from *50,000.000 to 210,000,000 
additional for January Intorest. 
Interest is now lower iu London and on tho Conti¬ 
nent, and a speculation Is looked for early in the 
New Year on the other side in Stocks of nearly all 
descriptions, including American. This calculation 
may or may not he realized ao far as our interests are 
concerned, but It. may be remembered that Congress 
is about to pass an Act authorizing the Secretary of 
the Treasury to transfer the U.S. Registered Stocks, 
nearly all held at home, into Coupon Bonds, which 
alone are marketable abroad. The total of these 
Registered Stock*, of all classes. Is no less than *', 33 ,- 
Ono.iKf). and.ir only a tenth ol ihe amount should be 
converted and sold to Europe the relief will be time¬ 
ly to our foreign Exchange*. 
The general trade of the past week was moderate. 
The Imports continue to run ahead of Inst, year, but 
with the exception of Fancy Goods. Books, Paint¬ 
ing*. Jewelry, etc., sent over fur the Holiday shop¬ 
ping trade, >he 1111 * 1111 ’** doing from store is light. 
There seems tube a good promise of business, now 
setting in for the Christmas season. 
The Stock Exchange lias been excited chiefly by 
the fluctuations In FaciHc Mail Stocks, which is 8ffil0 
par omit. lower than tho week before. The specula¬ 
tion In the Stock is on an immense scale, und the 
whole Capitol of ‘•SJU.IXKI Shares was sold over and over 
again during the week. The inside party are credit¬ 
ed with an effort to get the price below 70 per cent, 
with the purpose of a fresh 11 pmu<f%pec 11 lutlun. 
Th© Railroad Flocks are piloted irregular. Must of 
them ar© slightly better than on our last report. Tho 
prominent exception is Hock Island, which sold down 
to 10PX per cent. 
Gold Is 1 percent, lower, while Foreign Bills, sixty 
days, are stronger on account of the cheaper rate at 
which they can he discounted in London. 
The U 8 . Stocks in sympathy with Goldare 1 per 
cent, lower on the Bonds dealt In abroad.
