MONETARY, ‘TunsvAY EveNing, Nov, 18, The only prominent featura fn finences to-day . e the further advauco In the prico of gold to 110, probably in consequence of tho bolligerent tone of publio opinion on the CGuban qusation, Livon 1f ull this talk about war should rosult in hothivg i that direction, It will, at least, divert the public mind from tha financlal puzzle, and wnke nn oxenso for tho paylng outof moro greonbnoks in tho navy ropairs, aud both of thoso thinga will ! 5lp to overcomo the paralyaly resulting from tho panie. . ‘The hizh ratos of 1} to 2 per cont por month for monoy aro still malntainod {n the opon mar- kot fu this city, but tho supply of funds Is avi- deatly fucronsing, Now York oxchango is still 8o soarco that thoro aro no sales botwoon banks, and mnearly all the banks aro shipping curroncy to Naw York to rusko oxchange, TROSPEOTIVE ' EINANCIAL BOREMES IN CONGRESS. Boveral prominent Wostorn Senators hava al- ready boen taking Timo by tho forelock, by avowing thoir purposo to opposo tho achemos of curroney inflation which they expeot will come Jiko au -avalancho_on Congross as soon as it moots, In Indlannpolls, a fow days ngo, Bomator MortonIndiosted bl (mrpoun to that effect. Our dispatches from Vull.\infiwn yestorday etate that Sonators Bher- mav and Garfield bave exprossed similar views, Wo happon to know, also, that Benntor Logan is upflnucd to tho issuo of any moroe graonbacks, but that, like Mr, Garfleld, ho is in fayor of frop bonking. It is probabla that If thoro in any such tromendous prossuro brought to bear on Con- gress for currency inflation, a8 {s predicted, It will coma almost entirely from tho Eastern Btntes. The rccent crisis Las demoastrated that tho busiaces of tho West, being based on produots that are primo necoasities: rain, pro- visions, wool, lumber, &e.,*&ec., I8 on a much sounder basia'than in the Hast, whore gapital’ls 80 largely invested in joint stocks and socurition that have declined much moro in prico than tho products of the West. 1t fs poeeiblo, however, that many of thoso who are axpressing their opposition to currency inflation do not know what would make * cur- roucy fnflation." On this pomt, it would be well for them, before thoy maot in Congrega nnd bogiu to talk aboutit, to got aclear understanding of tho fact that it would be impossiblo to produco currency inflation oxcopt by an 1increase of greenbacks sufliciont to Soprucln!u thoir valuo, " Inflation of bank notes (proporly socured by the doposit of bouds) Is impossibla without an iucrease of greenbacls first, becauso tho bank notes are radcomable in” greonbacks, and, it tho value of tho greonbacks is sustained, thero can bo no doprecintion in tho valuo of the bank notes, und, consequontly, no inflntion of the bank curroncy, It is plain, thon, that thero can be no danger in suthorizing FLEE DANKING, s By this wa moan nlmgly tha repeal of the clouses in tho National Carrenoy act which ro- strict tho total volume of National Bank notes to 854,000,000 " Thoso restrictions ought to bo romoved, becauso, as they ~stand now, thoy creato o' _monopoly of tho privileges of National Banking, and becauso thoir ropoai would permit tho.pooplo to havo Just as much _currenpy as thoy have capital to pay for. Weknow thero sra many peoplo who fancy that if United BStates bondu can bo depos- ited in the Treasury and 90 per cent of circuln- tion drawn against thom, this 90 per cent of cur- rency may be used to buy moro bonds, and thoee bonds bo also doposited to got moro circulution, and so oo ad {ibitum, and that this would result in *tinflation of tho ‘curroncy.” Now, any man who gots this moggot in Lis brain should eall to mind the fact that in_ this process the Govern- ment would simply be ewappivg omo furm of prowmises to. pay, for apother, viz.: bank-noles for bonds, ‘snd that in oach swap tho ‘Croasuror tales a margiu of 10 por cont aud looks it up in a vault whera it 15 not availablo for any purpose of hypothecation, The Government is responsiblo for tho redemption of the bank notes, thoreforo the brnk noto is ouly another foim of Goverumont indobtedness, It 18 plain that there would be no increase of out- stauding Qovernmont obligation in this process of wwapping bauk notes for bouds, and thore- foro no inflation, It I8 true, this procoss would turn & larger proportion of the capi- tal of {ho country into Enper monoy, but it there should get to be moro currency thon the business community could ase, tho bauk notes would doprecinto sufficiont to causo a reconvergion ot the capital from bank Dotes into bouds, becauso tho bonds would mot bo_depreciated.’ Wo kco no differenco in tho principlo batween depositing a United States bo.d with the United Btates Treasury and got- 1ing 90 per cout of circulation ngaiust it, and de- ositing thoe same bond in a bauk and getting Fflnu of buok credit tothe samoe amount. Tho currency aud tho bank credit nre alike availablo a8 circulating capital,—bolh are an oxpansion of credit, but neithor one is an increase of oapital. 'I'ho Unitod Btates bonds, which somo peoplo’ fear would bo the means of making o # currency inflation,” under a free banking laty, must be hield now somewhere, and, wherever held, re nearly always used os a basis of credit upon which toborrow circulating capital of ono kind oranothor, Freo baaking would not lead to auy ‘more iuflation of circululing capital than thero is now.

But tho great diminution, not only of revenus but of reservesin the Treasury, has promoted inflation and greatly weakoned our financlal position, a0 tlat I am now disposed to think i asfer to limit tlio redemp- tion of greentacks in spaclo to $3,000,000 inetoad of $5,000,000 per montb, still postponing ita commence- ment at least two years, Even boforo tho late financlal troublos oceurred, T havo bad o strong impression thiat the presont Cone gross might Lavo tho las chianca of solving tha tro- ‘mendous problom, B OF courso this fecling fs now fntensified, and 1f {ho Government should carry out tho plan of’ incrossing tho issue of legul tendora permanontly to $400,000,060, 1 fear the case will bo past remedy.

There can bo littlo doubt that the Stato plan of rogistration and cancollation of grain receipts is adoquate to ineuro a full oversight, and prompt corraction when neodod, of any evil that may arige in the conduot of tho warchouses, Tho thing needed {8 that tho plan shall bo fully oxocuted, and the Board of Commiasionors aro rolpunsihln for this.

Honce the pros- poots are fair that country Loldors of produca will bo ablo to realize a little botter prices for thelr proporty thannow.
