MONEY AND COMMERGE. MONETARY. WEDNEADAT Eventxa, March 4. 'I'ho monoy market continuos unchangod. The domand for loans is fairly ntivo at the banks, but deposits are largo, aud bankers aro glad to Incronso titolr discounts at 10 por cont, and, in somo cases, would lond at lower ratos. In tho open market thoro 1s & good supply of monoy ab 9 por cont, but londora In tho opon markob can- not handla grain recoipts vory woll, aod are, thorofore, practicnlly unablo to avall thomuolves of that Inrgo class of collatornls, Now York exchange coutimios steady at 50 conts por $1,000 discount. FIEE DANRING, Until somobody can show that froo banking would depreciato the valuo of United Btatea bonds and United Btatos Trensury notos, wo shall mot boliove that any incronso of curroncy that might resnlt from froe banking would lead to ju- flation, If an increnso of bank-uotes would do- preoiate the valua of greonbaocks, it would ad- ‘vauce the ourroney price of bonds so much that soon banks could not afford to buy them to do- posit for moro curronoy, and the increase of| Dbank-uotes would stop, GURRENOY AND CAPITAL. Thoso who nro continually talking about tho supply of currency as governing tho supply of Toanablo funds, and insisting that an incroased supply of currenoy would mako money moroe plonty, soom nover to think of that mych more fmportant itom of lonnablo funds, bank doposits, or bank * eredit,” which conatitutes by far tho Jargest Dialt of the supply of lonnable funds in tho markot, Tho aggregate doposits to privato accounts in tho National Banks at the dato of -their last statement (Doc. 26) was §700,000,000, and as it i8 known that tho National Banks hold $uut nbout throo-fourths of tho bank deposits in tho United States, wo may safely ostimoto the nggrogato bauk doposits in.{ho United Slates at $1,000,000,000. Now it is also known that this aggrogate of bank deposits flue- tuntos from 12 to 16 per cent of its amount, thus maling, In times of stringency, & roduction of $120,000,000 to £160,000,000 of loannble funds. "hus, Inst Decombor, notwithatanding that the bauk-panfo wns over, and all the curroncy had como out of its hiding-places, tho money market was tight,—not because thero was too littlo eur- roncy, but bocauso thero was too littlo confidence in tho goneral solvenoy of the mercantilo com- munity, Traneactions wore diminished, and this coused & decreaso in bank depogits, or, in other words, & decrense of loanablo funds in ihe market. Nor would an increaso of currency Liolp the matter much in this respoct. In order 1o provo thut itis not ourrency, but "confldence that is the all-important proroquisite of an onsy monoy market, we will go back to April, 1871, when thero had boon only 6,000,000 out of tho €54,000,000 of additionn! National Bank circuln- tion fesuod, and comparo tho notual supply of monoy or lonunble funds then with the samo items on Dec. 26, 1873, as follows ¢ Arniu 20, 1873, Greenbacks, Natlonal Nanik note Natlona! Bank doposits 56,000,000 » 306,000,000 * 770,000,000 $1,418,000,000 +se0i$ 380,000,000 811,000,000 092,000,000 $1,413,000,000 Now it will bo scen that, notwithstanding tho Incfeane of nearly $00,000,000 of curroucy in Lhio period from April, 1871, to Decomber, 1873, the ggrogato of curronoy and baul dopoits in Decembor, 1873, was £25,000,000 loss than in Anril, 1871, It was thiy gront decronso of bank doposits that made monoy tight lnst Docomber. Ou tho 12th dny of Soptember, 1873, six dsys befora the failuro of Jay Cooke & Co., tho aggro- ate deposits in the National Danks: of tho E’nitnd States wag £810,000,000, and, notwith- standing thoro wos tho moat activo marketing of crops, and consequently the grentest legitimato domnnd for currency over oxporienced in tho United Btates, tho monoy-markets wore reasonably oasy all _over the coun- try at that time. Why? Tiio roason is" plainly to ba_ soen, Thero was confldouce in the genoral solvency of the bauks nd tho busioss community, deposita in_tho {::mlau wora large, and notwithstanding there woro £25,000,000 loss groonbacks in oxistonce than_in_Docember, monoy was onsior becauso tho banks had 100,000,000 moro doposits to lonn on Sept. 12 than fimy lind on Dec, 26, Tho point wo wish to make i tnat the supply of “mouoy " doos not depend on the supply of curroucy, nor oven ona specio basis would it depond on tho snpyly of coin, But it does do- pend on tho supply of snlable commadities, tho nctive movement of which from the hands of the producer to those of the consumer creates capital, and i8 ropresented by “‘bank credit” *deposits,” Capital doos not need to ‘be represented by currencyto be loanable funds, A certain amount of currency is_necossary for seltling tho differonces botwoen largor amounats in businoss transuctions, but the Inrgost part of tho “moucy” inthe market is mioroly bank credit, and it is tho thuctuations in thia impor- tant factor that mako tho changes in the monoy markot. No gronter fallacy ever addled anybody's Dbrains than tho ouo that there should be a cor- responding amount of currency per capita in all countries, rogardless of tho amount of accumn- Iatod eapital in tho countries, and tha hubits and Dbusiness of tho people. Ilenco tho continunl comparivons of tho mmount of carroucy per capita_of the population in tho United States with the amounts in other couutries can result In nothing but confusion, LOOAL BTOCK AND JIOND MARKET.
