MONEY AND COMMERCE MONETARY. ‘WEDKESDAY EVENIXG, July 29, In the looa! money market overything contine ‘nes oxtromely quiot, Tho banka lLayvo abun- dance of loanablo funds, but aro still dlscrimi- nating againat long paper and against o class of ohrouio borrowora whoso paper is offored largoly in tho opon market. Now York oxchango continunes stoady at from par to 260 por 91,000 promium, THE GREAT INONEASE OF SILVER, Tho groatly inoronsed production of silver in tho Unitod States and Torritorios can acarcoly fail to hiavo an important effoct 1upon our crrou~ Inting medium sooner or Intor, probably munoh Boonor than most pooplo suspoct. The now ora in silver production lusugurated within tho last oightcon * months by the dovolopment of the Balt Lake mings, tho. immonse tichness of which Is but littlo undorstood yot, la making a supply of silver in the United Statos far in oxcons of anything ever known beforo, It has boen found nacessary to provide additionnl tacllitios at tho Assay Offico in Now York to most tho incroased domands upon it growing ont of the Incroaso of sllver bullion, and tho samo hag alroady beon done at tho Philadelphis Mint for the coinago of tho now trado dollar. . Already, up to July 20, tho Philadelphia Mint had colned 8400,000 of tho now trado dollars, and tho San Franclscoand Oareon Mints are to b ot to work At once, tho former to colning trade dollars ¢ the rate of 200,000 and the Iatter at tho rmte of $100,000 por month of the samo coins. A Washington dispatch of July 20 to & Now York paper maya it Is believod thero in official quartors * that with- in six months there may be such » declino tn the value of silvor as compared to gold es to throw some of these new trado doliars into circulation in_this country.” Considoring that tho aotusl valao of tho trade dollar on the basis of tho rol- ntivo logal values of qold and silver is $1.20, wo do not soe any probability of such an evont, But 1ho fractional coina of the United Statcs half- dollars and gnnmn is only nt the ratoof 94 conts on the dollar in gold, and if the oporations of the varlous minis wore directed to incross- ing tho supply of half-dollars and it "is altogothor probable mu- those wonld mpg}mt tho prosent misorable otional currenoy. “Thore is no doubs that, in connection with our groatly incrossed supply of silvor, tho diecontinuancs of eilvor coius #s n standard for carrency by somo of the nations of uropo will have an cffect to groatly dopreciste the valuo of milyor a8 comparod with dgold. It tho price of ?:ld in gresnbacka ehould’ declino this fall, as fs not improbable, to 108 or 109, at which prices it ranged during "nearly the whole of Docember, 1871, and January, 1874, fractional rilver coins of tho United Btatos would probably: come into gonoral cironlation. Had thovalue of silver beon a8 low compared to gold eightoon months ago a4 1t scoms almost certain to become soon, it would have come into genoral cironlae tion thon. Tor the present,- silyer ix still belng largoly exported, though not so targoly in ‘proportion 'to the production a8 gold. Out of 34,044,634 of specie oxported from the port of Now York in the wook onding' July 189, only $683,176 was of silyor bars and sil- ver coin. flh?’r{;radnauon of gold in the United States and Territories has Iately beon offloially stated at Washington at £40,000,000 por sunum, Of the production of silver thore Il:i no official statomont, but {t ig estimatod all the way from $25,000,000 to $45,000,000 por anpuifi. W{th tho rocont iucrenso of eilver from the Balt Lake mines, it is probable the lattor is moearer the acbunl amount, and that the production of gold and silver is about oqual. But whilo wo oxport loss silvor than we do gold, we have rocently been importing much moro silvor than gold, snd the aggregato amount of silver in the country 83 compared to gold must be incrensing vory hr%uly. ‘Thus, from tho report of the q]nrnnn of Biatintics, we loarn that, for the cight montha ending TFebruary 8, 1873, thero was exportod from all tho ports of tho Unitod States $47,718, 177 bullion and gold coin, while of silver bullion and coin the total exports during the same tima wero only 816,245,174, But tho imports of precious metals dlu'lng tho gamo poriod ehows & greater prnt‘loudnmneo of silver, Thus, for the sight months ending Fobruary 28, tho total im« ports of gold coin and bullion were 26,554,075, whilo tho total imports ‘of silver coin 'sud bullion during the ‘same timo wore 88,817~ 416. We 1ind, thorofore, that our total net exports of gold in the oight months wero 41,169,102, or nt arate por aunum ono-third Emnter than the tofal production, while of ailver he totnl net pxporta in the oight months was only 97,427,768, or at o rato not. excesding ono- third of tho prosont estimated production of ellvor in the country, 1t sooms quite cortain, from the above figros, thoro must have beon a large incrosse o silver and a large decrease of gold in tho country in ezl:lt; eight montha up to Fobruary 28. In other words, BILVER 18 RAPIDLY DISPLACING GOLD in our atock of the precious motals in this country. This is shown by soveral additional circumstances. For in- stance, our imports of forcign silver coina nre more than doublo what they wore last year. "Thus, in the cight months ending Fob. 8, 1678, wo imported $8,675,711 of foreign ellver colns, againgt 3,405,023 in the poricd ending Feb. 25, 1672, ~ Bince Fobruary of ‘tho present year the increase in the production of silver has bosn grooter than in any proceding poriod, BEvery person coming from Balt Lako in the last few weels gives accounts of the oponing of now wines of wondorful richness, The famona Em« ma mine not only sustnina the marvolous no- counts of ite richness when first opened, but | otherg have beon oponed near it that even sur- rnsu it. Ina littlo district on the Emma hill roo milos long by one mile wido, thore" &ra now over twonty mines open, tho 'most of which aro paying largely, and in tho whole sil- ver district of Balt Loke thoro are at least forty payiog mines. Thovast incrcase of silver come" 1ng from these minos, to say nothing of the in- creasing eroduct of tho Lake Buperior silver- mines, will probably make such an’inoresse of . eillvor in thia country within six montha that its value, rolative to gold, will soon docline to tho' gold value of grocnbacks. On tho othorhand, it 188 groat increaso of actual wealth, which prom- igos, on o smaller scale, tho same kind of atlmu- 1ant to every kind of business that was oxperi- enced from the discovery of gold in California.

The Saginaw (Mh:h.) Courfer of the 20th just. has the following: * Thero is considorablo nc- tivity in tho salt market, and thoe prospauts favor s ‘comor.' We arrivo at this conclusion not from any sudden developments, but from the fact that buyers roprosenting at lonst two com- binations have been actively engagod during the past fow days buying not only the manufactired product, but the make of the sonson to Nov, 1 for cagh and sixty-day paper. Wo lear of at lonst alf o dozon firms who have sold their make ot from $1.40 to $1.43, and n num- ber of others Lave been approached oud declined. It is cstimated that the purchases of the past wool or ten days, with the amount on hand and controllod bythe buyers, will ap- proximate 260,000 barrels, and possibly excecd those figures. The market for some timo has boen brisk, with buyors on hand s fast as tho salt was roady for market, and tho r_\uotntlmm of $1.40 to $1.50 have Loen readily realized. Man- ufacturors linye boen contentod with these fguros, ond in the ovon tonor of trade thero hng boen no evidence of any sudden rise or docline 1n tho market, and nono hos been oxpected. All at onco tho fact I prescnted Lhat thoro aro not 10,000 barrels of manufactured salt on the rivornorth of Carrolton in the market, and many of the works hava sold for months ahead. 1f tho statemont of a Day City commission dealer is to be cred- ited, tho snme condition of affairs oxisty at thet ond of the river, 1f there is o movement here in combination with Syracuse and othor doalers to corner the market, the fact has not been fully developed, other in Iho circumatancos we_hava rolnted. Tho quotations at Chicago and lower Inke ports romain the sams a8 during tho pnst few weoks, oxcept that the quotation ‘strong’ or ‘brisk’ is made to indicate the tondency of tho markot. The salt product of the Sag- inaw River this yonr will not fall short of 800,000 barrels, and may possibly excood 900,000, being a largo incronse ovor any provious year. Of this amount between 200,000 and 800, 000 harrols have alroady boen shipped. Wa will sy that 800,000 barrols of tho balance are con- trolled by the combinations, leavingin the neigh- borhood of 200,000 to 850,600 barrels—possibly more, according to the amount to be munuface tured—to be brought mto market. Wholesnlo prices aro nominally, $1.40 to 81.43, but undor the circumstances it may bo reasonably assumed that they will advanco. One unnsual ciroum- stanco, which perhaps does not onter into the arrungoment, but will assiet it, is that n larger amount of salt is baln? bought for Oloveland and lower lake ports than formorly, the large bulk of Baginaw salt usually finding it way to Chicago aud tho Wost," LATEST.
