Looking at the coadition of the exchange market, it would seem quite likely that the lowest point of the specie reserve for the season has been touched. Geld is now coming forward pretty freely from the South, and the export from present appearances promises to be pretty light. The reduction in the deposit line is accompanied by » corresponding de- | cline in the loans column, and the aggregate is now } comparatively moderate, thoagh still far above the figure of the corresponding date last year. The ease remarked in the money market on Sat- | urday is quite as noticeable to-day. The rate for call loans is 6 a7 per cent, with a good many trans- actions at 64. Gilt edged short paper may be ,» and the best 4a 6 months’ paper T per cent. The advices per Adriatic are more fa- | vorable for money, and some of our influential au- thorities predict a further relaxation in the market before many days. The demand for money is far less than has been generally expected. The basi- neas at the Sub-Treasury to-day was moderate; the receipts for duties were $85,000, the total receipts being $168,902; the payments, $200,726; and the balance this evening, $5 405 Foreign exchange opens dull, without change of rates.

The President of the Panama Railroad Company has issued acard to his stockholders in reply to our article of Saturday. He does not deny the ma- terial statements of that article, but takes excep- tion to some minor points. He does not deny that the business of the Panama road is thirty-three per cent leas than it was at this time last year; that the company’s charter will expire in fifteen years, and that the road will then become the property of the New Granadian government; that Mr. Sand- ford’s mission to Bogota to obtain a renewal of the charter has proved a complete failure; that the in- creasing security and popularity of the overland route are diverting from the isthmus a large and an- nually increasing proportion of the California travel; that the war in New Granada is operating prejudicially on the business of the road. While ad- mitting by his silence the correctness of our remarks on these vital points, the President labors at some length to prove that the freight traffic derived from the New Granadian confederation is only one per cent of the whole business of the road; that cochineal comes from Central America; that the freighting business of the road is steadily increas- ing, and that, assuming that the business of the road does not fall below an estimate of $122,2: a month, the company will next January pay “ its usual six percent dividend, besides the regular contribution to the sinking fand, and two per cent surplus.” We have no wish to engage in a contro- versy with Mr. Hoadley. It is natural that he should think well of his road, even after others, who are perhaps better qualified even than he to judge, have had their faith shaken in its future. We will not, therefere, dwell upon the fact that only a couple of years ago, at the time the Nicaragna route was about to be opened, this same Mr. Hoadley published a card,in which he showed that the Panama was independent of the Califor- nia business, and that its mainstay was the traffic it had built up in New Granada and the adjacent countries—a traffic which Le now insinuates is a mere nominal part of the business of the road. Nor shall we do more than give the actual figures with re- gard to the next dividend, so confidently announced in advance by the President. Six months’ earnings. quite likely to lose their money, as the stock is scarce and ita friends strong. Bat if it be true that the road is about to fall from the high rank it has occupied as dividend paying property, importance it is of the highest that the owners of lots of ten, fifteen and twenty shares, who rely upon the dividends fer an income, should be warned in time, and should be enabled to avail themselves of the present premium in sell- ing out. The public must remember that Michigan Southern, too, once paid twelve per cent dividends and sold at $120 the share. The exchanges at the Bank Clearing House to-day are $30,583,230, and the resulting balances $944 667. It is reported that the two English directors of the Erie Railroad, Messrs. Evans and Splatt, are on their way to this country. It is understood that the object of their visit is connected with the ex- tension of the second mortgage bonds and the Prosecution of the work on the Atlantic and Great.
