RR 108 Milwaukie & Miestarippi Ra ‘8 78M At the clove of the year 1858 we recorded a stringent money marke', and speculatora in the stock market were looking forward for relief to the opening of the new year, A similar state of things existe at thie moment, and «pecu lator# are jooking forward, as they over do, for some Im- provememt. last year closed with money in active de- mand, fully equal to that of the previous your, January Jast yeer opened without much change, money continued im demaod, and the importations rapidly increased. Money graduaily worked easier towarde the clote of the month, and the specie reserve tn the ban! lowly in- creneed. Stocker wore not benefited mach by the little let op im the money market. February opencd with @ better supply of capit id the banks discounted more freely, on a larger specie reserve, The Increase in that Month was about $2,000,000. The loans also increased to about the same extent The imporiations were very beary, aud the @ub-Treneury rapidly sccame- | wlihout much cpange. | eteacy accownts of the high raton of tutercs’ Isted specie, March was an active month, both im business and in money matters. The supply of specie kept up, and there was not much change ip the bapk reserve. lt was, bowever, smaller at the close than at the beginning of the month, Ship- ments sbroad commenced, and exchange advanced, April waa a very eaey month ‘or money. The banks bad wun up their discennt \ine rapidly, and the aggregate Was greater than evor before reported. Taere was no change of importance throughoat the month ta the spose reacrve. The stock market wac without Important iluc- tuations, with a very active bueiness. Tne declaration of pence between Rursia snd the aliies bad no particutar effect on the money or stock market, At the cloae of the monit the baade commenced a contraction of loans. May was without much change; money continued easy throwghout, notwithstanding the bank contraction con tinued, The specie rererve increased, and the demand for money wasactive, but pot sufficient to affet rates. ‘Toe Sub Treasury surplus had reached # large amount, avd speculators were anticipating @ depletion by the payment of Texas claims. It wae expected that the pay ment of a large nwount of specie out of the Sab-Troasury woulr give a great impetus to rproulation tn stocks; but tuch @ result was not realized. June was an aotive month, without producing much effect ou financial affairs. The payment of Texas claims commenced early in the month, anda very Jargo amount of specio was drawn from the ub Treasury and paid into the banks. The specie reserve run up to neorly $18,900,000. Au expan- slop in discounts commenced early in the month, apd increased about $4,000,000 hetore tse close, These movements bad no particular effect on the stock market. Speculation was moderately active, and the fluctuetions im prices quite limited. The month of July was an important ene in money matters, The bank Joans largely Increased, while the specie reserve rapidly decreased. The specie shipment was act!ve. The banks Jost about $3,000,000 «i specie. Speculation tn atocks was more active, and prices improved. A very buoyant feel: ing prevailed, and burinece rapidly increased. The high rates ruling for exchange, and tbe etringency in money throughout Murepe, created apprehensions which checked specuiation materially, August opened favorably, with an increasing bank movement. The specie reserve con- Unued to deciine, end the aggregate ran down to compara- tively Jow points, while the bank losns reached tho high- est point of the season. Money continued easy, and the stock market was well mainiaised, The month of Sep- tember is generally the maximum point of tho year -in banking, business, speculation—in all thinge connected with trade and commerce. It was fo last year, and we bave no doubt will be in all future years. With a more Nmited banking movement, both in the discount and specie éepartmenis, there was great activity in ail commercial operations, and a very aclive speculation in the stock market. Advices from Kurope received throughout this month, were pot of a very satisfactory character. Tho francis! difflcuties of Europe bad become too seri- ous to be without their effec; here, The most siarmipg fears were entertained by many, while otbera argued that we were too independent of European finances 10 be affected. Those who operated in bust- nees matters with such ideas, soon found out their mis- tke. Early in Ootober ihe crisis camo. The Bauk of Kegiand commenced by raising tho rato of interest from 434 to G percent. The enormous speculative movements on the Continent and drain cf bullion from tho Bink of Fngland, alarmed the managers of tbat institution, and they foond it reveesary to adopt measures to arrest the ovtward current. Our banks steadily contracted their Joars, without realizing much change in the specie re- rer Specu’ation in stocks rapidly decreased, and prices steadily receded, Wall street was in daily appre henaton of a panto, and holders of stccka were eager to Het TIC OF thetw supplies, The exportation of specie was active, sud the demand for bviiten in Furope #0 active that bankers here made ebipments regardless of the cou dition ef exchanges. November opened very blue for stock speculators. Prices declined rapidly and the losses were very beavy, Money wes very tight, and ihe banks touched the lowest point of reduction. Advices from Europe csmo in gloomy enough. Tho failure of the Bank of France was generally anticipated. The Bank o! Eog- laud, the Bank ef France, and all the great banking institetions of the Coptinent rapidly advanced the rae of \pterest, and resorted to the most rigid restrictions to ar- rest if pcesible the wild apirit of speculation, In our own money market the most alarming state of things prevaticd. Stockjobbers were bard pressed for money apd svbmitted to moet ruinous prices, A perfect panio was realized, and fora time it looked as though there was really no bottom, The wildest excitoment seized upon the public mind, and aii sorts of ¢isasters were predicted, Fortunately the specie reserve of our banks was main in'ned, and the crisis passed. Tho banks’ specie increas. ed during the month about $2,000,000, and the ioans ebout the came amount. The exportation of specie was pot pear #0 larye as anticipated. The’ Bank of England maintained ite restrictions throughout. The Bank of Exboce did not suspend, bu; there was po check given to epeculation op the Continent, and the same difll -ulties ex- isted at the core, in their foil force, as if no attempt had betn made to remove them, The mouth of December opened with @ very stringent money market, and it con- tinued #0 to thoclose, There was not the slightoet let up throughout ibe entire month ‘he stock market was The news from Europe gave us rolling all over the Continent, and the ations of an approschit & commercial and Mpaucial revelsion every day were more apparent. Tho Bank of Pracce manage’ to show an increase in \(¢ bullion at tho monthly atatomont by jarge parchasen of gold, bot DO intention was shown of redecing the reatristiont placed vpon discoants. The fenk of iingland, wh'ch Pad in a few weeks raised the rato of interest from 43¢ to 7 per cont, made a reduction early ic the mouth of one half per cent, but the domand for money increased, and conrole fell off after the divi- end mere than the \pterest paid, From June 1 to Lice, 16, 1880, the Bank of Ergiaed reduced the rate of ipterest from © te 44 per cont, then carried {t rapidly from 45 to 7 per cent, and then reduced it to 6)y per cent, ou hort loans.
