MONEY AND COMRMERCE. MONETARY. WEDNRSDAY Lvruia, March 26, In tho local monoy matkot thoro fn ntill n faly Bupply of loanablo funds, but tho domand from Braiu spooulators In netive. Tho merchants aro xnking heavy romittances to Now York, and Rhoro was consldorablo incronse in tho country demand for currency to-day. Al theso cironn- Blancos combine to mako n tondency toward n closor monoy market, ns fs usual at this ponson of tho yonr, Now York exoliange is in notiva demand, for &ho reason givon abovo, and the prico was highor, anlos botweon banks boing made at par, With more buyors than sellorn ot that prica, 4 Govornmont bonds bave all advanced consid- ®rably in tho lnst two days, partly in consoquenco ‘of an actual adsanco in the gold prico in tho ondon market ; but tho greater portion of tho advanco in tho carroncy quotationo is duo to the ‘xiso In gold. With gold to-dny ¢ 11024, tho now B perconts woro quoted at 11474, which makea thelr gold valuo 93!4, oxcluvive of ‘necrited ine torestsinco Fob, 1. THE ADVANCE IN GOLD. Gold was quoted to-day nl 116k, being tho higheat prico touched ninco Sopt. 2, 1870, Whon tho presont Administration camo into power in Naorch, 1869, gold was 180. In viow of the wnyowed policy of & movo toward specle pay- ‘monts, tho prico of gold gradually declinod to 110 by Novombor, 1870, ot which prico it romained with only wlight fluetuations from it until Do- combor, 1871. ''ho honvy cotlon crop of- 1871 wad tho Lienyy oxports of cotlon doprossod gold to 103 in fiommbor, 1871, and dJanuary, 1873, But in the summor of 1372, owing to tho falling off of tho oxports of cotton and the apparent ailure of tho bond-buying polioy ns & means of xoturning to specio paymounts, gold roso as high ®s 1163¢ in August, 1872, 'In December, tho practico of loaning Dbills of Alerling osohabige, sstablishod by tho “forolgn bill-drawers of Now Yorl, wna one of tho eauses that helped to do- pross tho pricc of gold to_ 11114 in 10 Inst half of tho month, In view of tho drnin of spocio from this ocountry dnring tho last nino months, hf which tho stack of coln bas beon diminished ot lonst £30,000000 in that time, and of the adoption of tho Y‘al!cyal in- flating (ho curroncy inaugurated by Secrotary Boutwell in Octobwr, gold has steadily advanced from 11114 on Deo. 20, 1872, to 116)¢ to-day, Thero will, of course, bo ocensional downward xeactions from (ho genoral upward tendoncy, ag thero have been in- the lnet threo manths, but with the falling off of tho cotton oxporls this pring, overything is in favor of the gold npoen- Aators for n rige, nnd it i8 not improbable that in Juno and July gold will bo no Ligh s it wos Wour years ago. BANK FAILURES IN KEW YORK. Nine banka havo failed iu New York Olty in tho last oighteon months, viz, : Ocoan National, “Eighth_National, Union Square National, Btuy- wouant Bank, Bull's Head Lank, Guardisn Bavs ings Bank, Bowling Greon Snvings Danl, !Dlorket Savings Dank, and_ Central Savings vBank, TFour Savings banks, threa National \bonks, and two Stote ‘banks. ~ From a schedule "of tho asgotsnnd liabilitios of the Ocean andUnion 1Bquars Nationals, it appoars that they will be {able to pay dopositors in full. Tho Eighth Na- tionnl bns, wo boliove, paid dagnni!om 63 per cent.. Tho' Bull's Hoad will probublv pay do- positors in full, Tho Stuyvesnnt has nomMal mssots equal to the nmount of its linbilitics, but it is doubtful yot whether they will realize over 60 or 60 por cont. Tho Guardisn Savings Bank 1has paid 50 per cont of its doponits, and will pro- bably pay in full. Tho Bowling Green Savings bonk will pay G0 por cont, the Market Bavings Bank 40 por cont.. Tho eniire loss to stock- holdors and dopositors by these nino bank fail- ures will probably aggrogato about $1,000,000. { o all tho cases cxcept that of tho Coniral Sav- ; ings Baok, tho cause of the failures was oither { the loaning of Lho funds of the Bunk to aid somo I {xrlvute speculation or ‘;rojuub of tho officers of +tho Bank, or direct embozzlement on their part, THE TAXATION OF MORIGAGES, Ths Inst Logislaturo of thoe Statoof Kansas * paaged a lnw to promote the improvoment of ‘xenl estato by the exomption of mortgages and other socuritios from taxation.” The law, how- eover, haa provoked o grest dosl of unfavorablo comment, ospocially from the raal cstate ownars, who claim that it ill incroaso their particular burden of toxation. Following this drift of popular prejudico the Attorney Gonoral of the State of Kanens has docided that tho law ia not in violation of tho Consiitution of the Btato which malkes it the duty of the Logislaturo 10 provide for tho taxntion of* “notes, bill, dis- counted monoys loaned, nnd dues of ovo: doecription owned by the banke,” and for o unj- form rato of nsecssmont and taxation on all property. The mora c{limun of the Attornoy General will not iuvalidate the law, the courts oroe the only authority that can do that. Dut it in not improbablo tho next Legislature of Kan- oas will ropoal tho law, In this connection also ‘we mny mention that tho bill for tho exomption of bonds and mortgages from tfaxation which biad been beforo thie Legislature of Now York for some months, was last week defeatod by n de- cidod mojority. Those two instances of the failuro to make an offective exomption of mortgages and ofher ovidences of dobt do nat, however, show uuf' unsounduess in tho principlo which it was sought to ostablish, but only that In this coso, as in tho cagoof tho usnry laws, predjudico is stronger than logic., Tho tax- - ution of evidences of dobt and tho usury laws : aro both delusive nttompts to regnlato thie prico # of monoy, their real offoct, however, boing to u mako it higher than it would be without thom. | Tho usury Jaws eay tho monoy londer shall not * have mora thau a specified legal rate of interost, and the Inwa for the tnxation of evidences of dobt gry Lo shall pay part of what ho docs gob inta tho public freasury. ‘Thero is, howover, nnlhm!i more certain in fnavcirl affairs than that availablo capital will command tho full valuo of its uso in spito of usurylnwa and taxation, Tho risk for tho violation of the ono and the tax paid undor tho otlier, ato simply ndded to tho rate of interest, aud all come out of tho produets of tho soil at Inst with the additionel cost of muintain- ing moro tax-gatherors and luwyers, LOCAT, STOCK AND BOND MARKET, Messra, Lunt, Preston & Kean quote as fol- lows this aftornoon: 5~208 of '6: Buying., Setting, 103 i 0w Inaue,), ...

The severo snow storm of yestordny took tho commereini world by surpriso’; and that ublqui- tous body woko up this morning to find iteclf onco moro w struggling prigonor in tho fokters of tho stormn king, T'o uso P, Fish ltoade's motto, it was litorally ‘* snow-bound," Intorior trado was moderately nctlve, but stroot oporations woro _eadly intorfored with by tho snow, which rondored locomotion diffioult, and trausportation impossible for the nonce.

"ho season of nuvigation may open all tho anrlier for tho storm, as infantilo gricf is quickly followed by n sunny smilo. Apparontly tho ono great thing we hava now to foar {8 & high rato of water freight to tho Epst.

Tho rocoipta of grain wore vory light, incon- soquence of tho stormn, < 'T'ho dry goods trade was fairly active on inte- rior nccount, but the domand from local rotallors was limited, in consequence of the unfavorablo clarncter of tho weathor.
