Buginess in financial affairs continues ex- tremeiy cull, not only in this market, but in nearly ail the financial centres of the country. There is no question but tho Congressional dis- snssions on the currency question have con- iributed groatly to unseitle confidenco. If Tongreds were not in session, people conld form iome approximate notion of what gold will be rorth next summer. but noy they cannot. Even £ Congress goes no further in the direction of nflation than to authorize the **$44,000,000 re- erve” of greenbacks, gold will advance. On the othor hend, if the £41,000,000 is not suthor- ized, it will be necessary to retire the $25,000,000 Already ont; as soon as practicable, and in that case gald will decline. We have yet Bue})n lnrge exporiable sarplus of commodities in this conntry that if the forsign demand for'them keeps up, as there scoms some ground for ex- pecting, thie natural tendency of the gold pre- mium would be downward. ] Ioney continues abundant in this market, and, thongh the banks maintain the rate for diecounts st 10 per cent, we hear of sixty-day 1oaus being made on collaterals at9 per cant, nd demand loans at 8 per cent. Now York exchange continues dull and steady s 50c per £1,000 discount. There is said to be somo dissgreement smorg the Directors of the German National sud Ger- man Bavings Banks, and a change of sdministra~ tion in both banks is not unlikely to result. There seems, also, to have been s disturbance in the Mechanica’ National. Air. Roed, the former Cashier, has been elected o the nominal office of Vice-President, to make room for Mr. P. R. Forrest as Cashicr. : The largest mortgage ever given by one indi- vidaal in thiscity was that recorded s few days ago from Mr. Potter Palmer to the Connecticut Mutual Life-Insurance Company for 1,700,000, covering the Palmer Houss and other proporty in this city. It i, however, understood that this iz mainly tho comsolidation of several smaller mortgeges on the eamo property, that bave been in existence for a year ar two. SPECIAL DEPOSITS. The Comptroller of the Currency is ssid to bo reparing s bill 38 an amendment to the National ency act, defining the extent of the Liability sf National Banks for special deposits. The sbject of the billis to prevent misunderstand- ngs and litigation by requiring written or print- d notice, in thie prescribed legal form, to de- positors st the time of making the depcsit, stat- ing the extent of the bank's hability. CHE BOCEFCED, BOCK ISLAND & ST. LOTIS BAIL~ TOAD. An endesvor is being made to fix np the affairs of this corporation by reaucing tho common stock from $6,500,000 to £3,500,000, and issuing - £1,000,000 of preferred 7 per cent (gold) stock to the bondholders, in liguidation of the 1,000,000 of overdue coupons now held by them. The Company is in default for the interost on $9,000,- 000 of its bonds, the overdus interest being about 21,000,000, Nearly $7,000,000 of the bouds are held in Germany. The flosting debt of the road is §250,000. BELIEF FOR GOYERNMENT OFFICIALS IN DEFAULT. The Ways and Means Committes of the Houso hsa agréed foreport a bill ta pay back to Mr. Thomas, Collector of Customs of Phill-delphi:\a £62.000, which was embezzled by his cashier, an which wss made good by Mr. = Thomas. Gen. Hillhouse, Sub-Treasarer at New York, Gen. Spinner, United States Treasurer, Pozstmaster Jopes, of New York, and other Government officials, have all met with similar losses, and Congress bas been willing to refund ihe money in each case. While no suspicion of dishonesty attaches to any of these gentlemen, xod while it would have secmed a great hardship for them to sustain the losses, it is apparent that thie sort of thing is incren.sini, and it is suspected that the facility with which the reim- buraemens of the principals is secured makes them tesa watchful, and o indirectly encourages the increase of embezzlements Ly subordinates. At any rate, the Finance Committee of tha Benate scem éisposed to try to check theincrease of auch crimes, and have suggested to the Secre- sry of the Treasury that all’ offcials who bhandle "Government moncy be forced to give bonds, snd ‘ask his opinion 23 to the adviesbility of a law to that efTech. TAE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND THE GENETA AWARD. Xo bill has been reported to Congress yet for the distribution of the Geneva award., DBat it is intimated that the Committee on Judiciary, who buve it in charge, manifest a determination to ignore the claims of the insurance companies al- together. This is in fact justas it should be. The iosurance companies took the war riskswith their eyes opon, and chaxged war prices for their .insurance. They have no more right to reim- {bursement for the loss of vesscls destroyed by the ememy -than a life-insurance eompany wonkd hiave for reimbursement of their {osses on the lives of soldiers killed during tho | War; whe.were charged war-rates far their insur- -ance. The insurance companios, however, are zich, and it is understood will organize for o strong fight on this question. Gen. Butler hopes o lug it into politics, 8o as to make capital out of it in his campaign for tha ‘Governorship of Mossobhusetts, He ropresents the whaling in- torest of New England, which is opposed to the elzims of ths insurance companies, LOCAL STOCK AND BOND MARKET.

The following grain has bsen inspected into store this morning up {010 o'clock: 46 cars wheal, 69 cars corn, 9 cars oats, 5 cars rye, - 15 cars barley. Total, 144 cars, or 56,000 bu. The ics in Grean Bay is thinner than has been Imown in any winter for several years. It is #aid to average lessthan halfl a yard in thickness. An carly resumption of navigation is very prob- able. 4 The Board of Trade was turned into a minia~ ture bear-garden for a short time this morning, because one of the Directors had the audacity to sppear in & white hat before the 1st of Aarch. Of course he lost it, and several other hats went Lh:hway of all feit about the samo time in sym- Ppathy. The rates of grain-inspection will be rednced on and after Monday next to 25¢ per car-load in, and 40c per 1,000 bu out, inspection. These are the old rates. Thera was a little more sctivity in the leading grain markets to-day, and not 80 much doing in provisions as yesterday, though the agaregate of trading was large. The general tendenoy wasto & lower range of prices, foreign markets being weak all round, with no shipping demand to speak of. This was partially countoracted by tho fact that gram receipts were light. . There was & modarate movement in domestic and foreign goods at unchanged and steady prices. The pleasant weather i8 witnoesing lm- provement in tho ratail trade, and an early re- vival in jobbing circles is confidently looked for. Groceries were distributed to a fair aggregato, though there was no special activity in any department. Thero was & moro confident feeling among holders of coffee, they no longer showing & disposition to crowd sales save at very full prices. Sugars wero wealk, and refined grades .fmppux off an e, or to 105@10]c for standard A, and to 1134 @11} for granulated. No change took placo in tlio butter and cheess markots, both of those staples being held with pronounced firmness, tho former at 25@42¢ for common to fancy, and the latter st 16@18c. Canned fruits continue activo, aud_aro advancing. Dried fruits, both foreign and domestic, aro selling firmly for the season, and are held with great firmness. No ghangos wero noted in tho bugging, col, pit- iron, and tobacco markets. Fish coatinue ac- tive and strong. Trout advanced 50c per 34 brl, and George's cod 25c per 100 Ibs. Mackerol, als0, are tending higher, Oils wero in fair re- mt, at 1535 @16c for carbon; 84@85c for oxtra 3 $1.03@1.08 for linseod ; and ot 53@59 for turpentine. The movement in common lumber to the in- terior was again fairly active, and the firmness 80 long a characteristic of the market contin- ues. Shingles and lath aro aleo strong at quota~ tions. Hardware merchants report business as being excellent for the season, being_ consider- ably Iargor than for tho same’ period one year 2go, and nearly all metals aro firm. Naila wero again active, particularly on interior account, and very strong at $4.25 rates. The trade in iron and steel was roported fair, and the market steady. Waodenwaro was stoady under a fair and improving demand. Balt_was 1n moderato request, but steady at $1.90@2.00 for fine, and £2.00@2.10 for coarse. The Ly, hop, and ool markete wero quiet and unchauged. A fow or- ders are placed each day, but the gomeral trade is = light, and prices sre not particularly firm, except, porbaps, for wool, which is now held with moro confidenco. Mides were in request and steady, and broom corn re- deecriptions were steady at yesterday's prices, though the lower grades of timothy, which aro in liberal supply, were dull and less firm, but g00d to choice aeed sold ot former prices. Pota- toes ara coming forward quite freoly for this season, but now that dealers aro better supplied, the demand is not quite 6o active, nor prices as strong, though choice lots bring full former figures. Green fruits wero rather quiet, but without material change. Very choice clickens and small turkeys were in fair retail request, and firm under light offerings. Inferior poultry of all kinds was dull. Tho recaipts of eggs were again large, and a farther decline was ro- ported to-day. Highwines were active and steady at 93¢ per gallon, though Now York was quoted lower at 97c. The fact scems to be that the New York market has been no better than that for two or three days past, and our dealers have known it from private advices. Sales were reported of .':mexls at 93¢, at which the market closed steads. Dreseed hogs were rgain in_good demand for heavy lots ic quantities suitable for making up car-losds, and theso were stronger, at 96.25@ 6.40 per 100 Ibs, Light lots were more abundant, and uochanged at £6.00. Mixed weights and some small lots of heavy sold at $6.15. were roporied of 180 at $6.25 ; 338 at SE. 8t $6.00: 173, dividing on 200 1lbe, at $6.00@ 6.40 ; 284 do 8t 86.00@6.15. Total, 1,200 head. Provisions wero sctive sud again lower during the greater part of the session, but near the close improved to about opening prices, The re- mand except from shippers, and this tended to Weaken product, especially a8 there were again & good many orders on the market to sell on coun- try account. The weaker foeling in the leading jium also tendod to produce an easier feeling ; P oog s sch a disposition £o' take hold ay the recent decline as to induce the latter firm- pess. ‘The trading was, however, largely in the way of turning, over product,the ‘months, at the rate of aboat 30@35e per brl on pork, 20c per 100 tbs on lard, and X¢ per 1b on meats. The laiter were also Wanted to a large extent for shipment, the in_ freights stimulating buyers to take hold. The market closed steady st the fol- lowing range of prices: Mess pork, cash or seller February, $13,85@14.00 ; do seiler March, £13.85@13.90: do seller April, $14.15@14.20; do seller Mar, $14.45@14.50; prime mess pork, $12.25@12.50; extra prime do, $11.00@11.25. maing fim.

Flour was dull, almost to lifclessness, only ope or two local buyers being iu the market. Liverpool was quoted6d per bri Iower, which prevented exporters from operating. Dealers did not report anychangain pricos, —and, indoed, it was useloss to offer to make coucessions,—but they would have been willing to shade if buyers ludy appesred. DBran was £1.00 per ton lower. Bales wemru%nrted of 100 brls spring extras at $06.75; 100 brls do at $6.62; brls do at §6.00 ; 100 brls do (Union Pacific) at £5.85; 50 brls rye at $4.85: 50 brls doat 24.70. Total, 460 brls, Also, 30 fons bran at $15.00, on track ; 10 tons middlings st $17.00, ou track. Tho following wero thoqudtations at the close : 7.50 £.50 $ 705 Wheat was activo and unsettled at an average decline of 3{c per bu. Tho early advices from Tiverpool quotod that market s vory weak, and 2@3d por 100 1bs lower ; but, asltho vews was Teceived fully an hour befora tho opemmg of busingss hours, operators had time to think of it, and thers was not such & rush to gell as might have been expected. Bubsequent dispatches confirmed this news, and New York weakened under it, but the work of settlement, and espe- cially changing over from Maroh into April, kept up our quotations. It was to tho intorest of tho partics making these changes to provent a decline, sud tho difference between the two months conld bo pre- served with any chosen figure w3 tho lowest. The smallnoss of the receipts raported this morning-tended, however, to check a downward mavement. A letter from Canada etates thatb the stocks of wheat in sight in Upper Canada alone aggregate fully 6,000,000 bu, which is the largeat quantity known in the experienco of the trade. It saya that “‘most millers aod denl- ers have no storage-room for it.” The stock in Toronto ia 750,000 bu. Seller April opened at $81.185¢, fell off to 31.18%¢, Tose to $1.19, declined to 21,18}, and closed at $1.183¢. Seller March vold at S1.156{@1.1614, closing at $1.164; and seller May sold at $1.281{@1.24. No. 2 spring closed at $1,15% for rogular, and §1.16i for strictly fresh receipts.

Total, 78,200 bu, Corn was moderately actiye, and strong in the upper half of yesterday's register, as a conse- queuce of small reccipts. Tne decreaso in the daily supply here soems to.have affected Liver- pool and Now Yorlk, so that corn does nat weaken in either of those cities, as wheat does. The diminution in volume =lso strengthens the hands of bolders here, and stimulates to specu- Iative buyiog in hope of a reaction. Somo of our receivers state that thoy, and the men in the country for whom they operate, believe there " is room yet for an important ad- vance. Tha demand was nob urgent to- duv; indeed, as in the caso of whoat, a Targe part of the businons consisted of tnrning over from March into April, and most of the re- maindor was settlements. Soller March opened at 57¢, advanced to 573¢c, receded to 57c, rose to 573c, nnd closed st 573c. Seiler April sold at 5815@58%¢c, and scller Aoy at 621{@62%c, tho Iafter closing at 62}¢c.
