FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Tuvespay, Jan. 13—6 P. M. There was a large business at the first board this Morning, and prices show a slight improvement. A 00d portion of the transactions were for cash, and ft the close holders were firm, at prices above our quotations. N. J. Zinc advanced } per cent; Nicara. gua Transit, j; Phoenix Coal, {; Long Island, 2; Northern Indiana Railroad, 14; Albany and Schenec. tady Railroad, 14; Morris Canal,Z. All the good divi- end paying State stock, and all the leading railroad bonds, were active at the first board, at yesterday's prices. Parker Coal Company closed without change today. The amount of stock offering is small, and holders feel confident of its touching par long before ‘the next coal season is over; one thing is certain, it is im the hands of active, energetic men, who have Beldom failed in the accomplishment of any object they have undertaken. The coal business of the Cumberland district generally has attracted the at- tention of a large number of most enterprising capi- taliats, and in the direction of the different companies men of character and intelligence have been en listed. Everything that experience, energy, and perseverance cam accomplish, in making these companies productive, will be done. At the gecond board to-day there were large sales of Nicara- gua at an advance of } per cent; Morris Canal, 4; Portsmouth, 4; Parker Coal, 4; New Creek, }; Cum- berland, 4. ‘The improvement in Morris Canal is i nac- Cordance with our predictions. There is a steady de- mand in Philadelphia for the stock, and the proba- bility is that the bulk of the capital will be absorbed in that city, A movement is in contemplation rela- tive to the valuable water privileges of this city on New York Bay, which, if perfected, will have a very Breat influence on the market value of the stock. There has been a better demand within the past day Or two for Carey Improvement stock, but the views of holders range above those of purchasers. Buyers will soon meet the ideas of sellers, when the stock will be as active again as usual. New Jersey Zinc was a fraction better to-day. The recent advance in iron has turned the attention of manufactures to the valuable mines of franklinite belonging to the N. J. Zinc Company. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Trea- surer of this port to-day amounted to $172,561 21; payments, $51,655 12—hbalance, $2,675,210 72. At a meeting of the newly elected Board of Trustees of the St. Lawrence Mining Company, Mr. Thomas Morton was elected President for the ensuing year. There will be sold at auction to-morrow—Friday—at | the Merchants’ Exchange, by Mr. Draper, a number wf favorite stocks and bonds. Among them are | Bhares of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, Mansfield | and Sandusky Railroad Company, Oswego and Syra- ‘cuse Railroad Company, Macon and Western Railroad ‘Company, shares of the Astor Bank, and bonds of the | Amherst Railroad Company. The tna Insurance Company of this city has de- | tlared a dividend of six per cent; the Seamen's Bank for Savings, at the rate of six per cent per an- hum, on sams of five hundred dollars and under, and five per cent on all larger sums; the Bank for Say- ings, Chambers street, and the Bowery Savings Bank, ‘at the rate of five per cent per annum, on sums be- tween five and five hundred dollars, and at the rate of four per cent on all larger sums. According to reports made by the New Orleans banks, up to the 25th of December, the capital stock | Was $10,860,130; deposits, $13,796,945; discounts, | g3.068.919, specie, $8,240,384 ; circulation, $5,478,- Five miles of the Albany and Northern Railroad are ‘completed, and the remainder of the track to Cohoes is now ready for the rails, which have recently ar- Tived in this city from England. About 300 tons of | the rails for the road are now on the way from Eng: | land. The company originally purchased about | 38,000 tons—enough to lay the track through—since when the price of irom has nearly doubled. The receipts of the Norwich and Worcester Rail: | road Company, during the month of December, 1852, amounted to $21,543, against $18,731 for the same | month in 1651, showing an increase of $2,812. | The Attorney General of this State has been au- thorized by Judge Harris, of the Supreme Court, to commence an action against the New York and | Montgomery Zinc Mining Company, for the purpose of vacating the charter and annulling its corporate | privileges: ‘In accordance with this order, the Com- | pany has-been summoned to answer the complaint in | the actiom:within twenty days from the 4th inst. A Movement’ of this kind was made some time since, | bat failed, we believe, from some informality in the | Proceedings. It is now revived, and the merits of the case will: probably be presented. It is full time womething was done to separate the chaff from the wheat, and place before thé eommunity such infor- mation and facts sswill enable them to judge for themselves. which is the good and which is the bad. Dnder the! general manufactaring law of this State, It is the easiest thing in the world to getup any kind of s company; and there probably never was 3 time in the financial history of this country when Bo much caution, so much discretion, 60 much care was necessary, in the selection of stocks for invest- ments, or even in the choice of stocks for speculation, as at the present moment. Comparatively, there are wery few valuelees stocks in the market; but even the few are presented in suc an attractive shape that many are drawn into them. It is fortnnate that th® public have escaped with so little damage; and the effect of the movement alluded to above, we have no Goubt, will be of a very favorable character. To se- core the confidence of the community, it is necessary & show, after an ordinary lapse of time, results ap- pg pretty near the estimates and anticipations. Without something of this kind is presented, within & reasonable time, it is uselece to attempt to sustain an active speculation. This remark will apply par- ficularly to the operations of the New York and Montgomery Zinc Company. We have repeatedly been told that the paints of this company were not Daly of the most superior character, but that an abun- ance would soon be in the market. Neither of these | g@atements have been corroborated, and it has been pretty clearly shown that the mineral resources of the | Company are of the poorest and most worthless char- acter. Some time since, the New York Zinc Com- | pany, created, for the purpose of carrying on min- | ng operations in the Shawangunk Mountains, was | abandoned by its originators. They first em- ployed practical, bonest miners, and geologists, who candidly assured them that if they even weached the zinc vein another company had | worked the ore would not pay for smelting. As pill their ‘hopes rested upon the value of that vein, | hey gaveup the project at once. Jf all the new zinc | sompanties, as s00n as they find their mines are of no | port of value, would act in this way, it would be much mnore to the credit of all engaged. Some of these | companies bave been got up by; men generally ig- | porant Of :ptaetical mining, and therefore easily led | Minto the most extravagant expenditures in driving for | fpres in uncertain localities, where scheming specula- Bors hays, induced them to hope for success in that | exciting business. The Shawangunk Mountains have a fine , and but little frequented, which, with the of 01d mining operations hanging over them, | ®ave given them attractions superior to any other ection, Upon the representations of some schemer, have been formed, and considerable sams pf money bave been expended in searching for veins. he operations of the Montgomery Zinc Company are ® good Mlustration of the truth and correctuess of Bhese statements. This company have expended | Jorge amounts in building farnaces, «melting houses, i&c., and after many months have elapsed, and mani- | Bold promiges made, we find that nothing has been —not a single resu't obtained. It has, we , abandoned the mines, and taken its stand Ppon its beildings and other improvements. We Brouder that stockholders in these new zinc compay pies do not examine into the facts themselves, rather Pan rely upon the representations of agents and r interested parties. \ Bho last seport of thy Doak of Keatwo ae EEF | 100 Nica Tran Co. 00 place for such operations, being near at 200 branches, gives the annexed exhibit of revenues and liabilities, on the Ist day of January, 1853 :— Bank or Kentucky anv Brancuxs, Jan. 1, 1853. rees.

This is entirely out of all proportion. This rate of increase, for any length of time, would produce a dangerous state of things among the commercial classes of that section. The assets of the bank are, without doubt, sufficiently in excess to satisfy all as to ultimate security; but if the paper issues increase | | much longer at the rate shown above, any relaxation of public confidence would create considerable em- | barrassment, not only with the bank, but with the | mercantile classes connected with it. | The Governor of Illinois, in his annual message to the Legislature of that State, says:— There will be in the treasury on the first day of March next, over and above what will be required to meet all expenses of the State government in all its departments, and the legislative appropriations already made, a surplus of more than $100,000, or a sum nearly sufficient to meet all the government expenses for the next two years, with- out drawing upon the incoming revenue. According to | the present rates of taxation, the surplus for the future, at the close of each year, will exceed the amount now in | the treasury in the same proportion as the revenue in- creases, provided the legislative appropriations are con- | fined teay, within the necessary limits of expenditure. During the last year, the yearly increase in the amount of revenue received into the treasury has been very large, | by far exceeding the expectations of those who have had | eir attention more immediately directed to this subject. | That this increase will be much greater forthe future may be most confidently expected. The mill and a half tax. which is exclusively appropriated to interest purposes, amounted in 1847 to $138,309 63, while in 1851 it had in- creased to $206,728. The two mill tax, imposed aly fifteenth article of the constitution, was in 1849, $210,865 50, | in 1851 it amounted to $275,637 36, showing an increase of revenue of near 30 per cent for the last two years. In | the year 1845, the taxable Property, real and personal, | as returned to the auditor of te, amounted to $82,327,165. In 1849 it amounted to $105,432,752. 1851, it had increased to $137,818,679 30, being an in- crease of the” taxable property of the state, in two years, of $32,000,000, or 30 cent inthe two years. This brief | reference to the relative financial prosperity of the State for a few of the past years, is well calculated to lend en- couragement to our citizens, that the time is not far dis- tant, when they will be relieved of the burden of our | public debt, which the blind extravagance of former | years entailed upon us. | The San Francisco Price Current, of Dec. 15th, | gives the annexed manifests received at that port, of vessels which have sailed from London :— Exports rRoM Great BRITAIN TO S4v FRANCISCO.
