The Prodnce Markets Generslly Btronger, with n Falr Volume of Business. YWheat Excited by Enropean Advlcesese Is Thero Anofher Corner in Corn1 Packing Operations and CGrain Reoeipts Lessened by the Miserable Weather, FINANCIAL, Transactions {n financlal circles are decreasing, an the clearfngs indicate. The weathier Is one cause for this, but another In the wncertainty with re- gard to the future, which indlsposes men to extend thelr operations, The scpply of negotiablc paper wan not Jarge. Mcrchants are not having rood collections, and are borrowing on that secount. ‘The packers are now steady applicants for dis- connts, and thefr paper s readily accepted by the hanks. Conntry banks have not ront In recently thelr usnal amounts of paper for redisconnts. The sggrexato busincss of the banks cvery day 1n dia- counting s not onough to keep their fands In profitable employment, aud leaves iliem with more tban amplo cash means. Hates of discotint wero 8@10 per cent at the ‘banks to regular customers; on tho street rates were 7 per cont and upwards. The orders from tho country for currency wero Bmall, . New York exchango was #0ld botween banks at G0c por 81, 000 dlscount. The clearings were £3,000, 000, AMERICAN SRCURITIES ABROAD, The Londen 7imes, In announding that the £4,000,000 loan of the Daltimore & Ohio Naliroad 1s open for subscription In London, makes some very Interesting and appropriate remarks on the subject of corporate monagement nmd corporate bonds. The Daltimore & Olifo Company fa a closo corporation possessing a large number of sabsldiary linca, theactual condition of which nobody outslde tho oficlals knows anything about.. The Times clalma the liberty of. doubting whether the ** sur- plus of cash eamings,’ claimed to amount to £30,180.000, 1s a good asset, no long as full nc- connts of the working of the Company's linc are not periodically made. With all this snrplus the bonded debt has Increared from 812,460,000 In September, 1872, to $45,453, 000 In thoe finanetal year Just closed, and now £8,000,000 moro are to Le added, ‘The Times adyixca (he Deitlah public to avold this Dalthnoro & Ohlo loan and all others of the same kind until the borrowers oro rendy to give a corporate position to their cred- itors, and to glve themn power which wounld be felt once did anything go wrong, All such Toans ought to be lesned under a trust In London, anid tho Trustees should be elected hy and hckl responsible to a proprietary registered in tho of- alnary way, Then, when anythiog went wrong, there would ag once Le a rallying polnt, and the ‘meana of bringing the full forca of the holders to bearon any corporation, As it is mow, when a ‘railway or a foreign loan has collapsed, bonduald- crs have uniformly been helpless. The bankers who sold tho bonds have mado thele commisnlons and profita, and censed entireiy to tako any Inter est In the loan, and the bondholdera arv Jeft to flounder In Lielpless cflorts to got even the facte about thelr Investments. AMBHICA SIIOULD CHEAPEN GOLD, NOT SILVEN.' In an article In the Hankers* Magazine for No- vember, George M. Weston tives reasons why the true policy of this country ls to cheapen gold, not siiver, The demonctizatlon of wilvor forces o Turger exportation of It to Aela, This reduces its nurchasinig vower, and lucreuncs the prices of the Oriengal products, which ara bought there with eilver and dmported Into thia country. Europe shares tho loew to the extent of its surplua silver, which has to bo sold, bat the groster and perma- nent loss falls upon thia country, which s a ateady producer of sllver, Assilver f8 cheapened by dee monetization, goll s mado doaror, The. United Bintes palns thereby o far as It v a pro- ducer of guld, bul 1t loses much moro on tho payments it has to make in gold to Europe, The anterest on the puulic debt alono s not leas than 2100,000,000, This s two and 8 ha)f times ns much #s our gold prodoct. Thewe conalderations, AMr. Weston argucs, slhiow that the wise pulley for the Unlted States Ia to enhance the yurchnsing power of sllver, Ita principal fustru- ment In acquiriog the products of the Fuat, and to cheapen yold, with which ft must pay its large foreign debiw, or by which the valne Is measured of the commodities with which It makea the actual paymente. Mr. Westons saye: ** Tho policy actu- ally puraued under the leglslation of IRTH-"74 tends 10 cheapen sllver and to make gold dearer, Thls s not an Amerlcan policy, but ls & British and Qerman policy, and is supported by Drltlsn and German writers without number, Very naturally, thoy nustgn cvery specles of reason excops tho real reanon, which s that they are writing in the loter- est of theie reapective natlons, whose object is to increase tho valuo of the deble due them," INTERNATIONAL GOLD AND SILVER COMMISSION, A special Washington dispateh to the Now York World wtatca that a movement for the cstablisl- ment of an Internatlonal Commiasion to determine at fixed Intervals tho value of sliver coin, as com- pared with gold cofn, ls already being agitated, ‘The Bavking and Currency Committee of the Housw have recelved a memorial slgned by ex-Presfdent ‘Woulsey, of Yale College, and other citizens of New layen, asking that Congross provide for such & Commisston.
