Tavaspay, August S—6 P. M. Nothing new is reported in the money market, Call loans are offered almost everywhere at 4 per cent, Commercial paper is extremely scarce, and parties who are generally buyers are beginning to turn their attention to Treasury notes. Foreign exchange is dull and lower. The lead. ing bankers have lowered their rate to 107%, and there are some good commercial bills in market at 106%. But the bankers sell little or nothing even at the decline, and the volume of commercial ox- change offered is extremely limited. Stocks continue extremely dull. The commission brokers complain bitterly of the stagnation in busi- ness. This is always a dull season of the year; but this year there seems absolutely no trade in stocks, Even the speculators are discouraged. Neither bulls nor bears make any money, and both seem disinclined to operate with any bold- ness. There are a few orders in the market—ap- parently from the South—for Southern State stocks. North Carolinas rose this morn- ing 1% per cent, and Missouris 4%; Vil ginias and Tennessees were steady. Govern: ments were inactive. We quote a sale of one of the new six per cent bonds at an advance of 4 per cent over yesterday’s closing price. The six per cent Treasury notes were steady. Very little is doing in yaitway bonds. Railway share’ are irre- gular. Erie advanced +4, and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy %; New York Central fell off 4% per cent, Reading 4, guaranteed 4, and Rock Island Y%. There is go little doing in these. stocks that an order to buy or sell three or four hundred shares unsettles the market. At the second board the market was even duller than in the morning, Cen- tral and Toledo being the only shares in any de- mand. It closed steady at the following quota- tions: United States 6’s, registered, 1881, S754 a %; do. 6's, coupon, 1881, 8734 a %; do. 5's, 1874, 80 a 44; Indiana 6's, 76077; Virginia 6's, 54%a 554%; Tennessee 6's, 4544 a 14; North Carolina 6's, 69% a 70; Missouri 6's, 43% a 44; Pacific Mail, 74 a \%; New York Central, 76% a %; Erie, 26% a % Hudson River, 33% a %; Harlem, 10% a 11; do. preferred, 25 9 26; Reading, 36240 %; Michigan Central, 4194 a 42; Michigan Southern and North- ern Indiana, 13.0 34; do. guaranteed, 2934 a 4} Panama, 107 « 108; Ilinois Central, 6394 a 64; Galena and Chicago, 634%44a %; Cleveland and Toledo, 29% a Chicage and Rock Island, 40% a ¥{; Chicagd, Burlington and Quincy, 58; Dela- ware, Lackawana and Western, 65 a 70; Milwaukee and Mississippi, 15 a 16; Iinois Central bonds, 7’ 89% a 90; Delaware and Hudson Canal, 84)4 a 85 Pennsylvania Coal, 79% a 80. Public opinion i gradually coming round to a more rational view of the commercial and financial consequences of the war than prevailed some time since. Three or four months ago civil war, even for a year, seemed certain to destroy our forcign and domestic commerce; to paralyze our industry, to deprive agriculture of its necessary supply of labor, and to spread ruin and misery throughout the country. Southern politicians were fond of de- picting the overwhelming distress which the war would inflict upon the North, while the South, freed from its late associates, would move rapidly onward in a career of prosperity, progreas and plenty. It must be admitted that the event has not justified either of these vaticinations. The North is not ruined; ita people are not paupers; trade and industry are not destroyed: but at the South, disorder, suffering and financial distress prevail to so alarming an extent as to justify the belief that a reaction among the Southern people is not improbable. Nor is it likely that the progress of the war will produce any material change in the relative position of the two sections. At the North, government fs about to issue its paper for two hundred and fifty millions of dollars, and, one way and another, it will find its way into circulation. Early next spring—if the war lasts so long—other $250,000,000 will be issued in like manner, so that by next fall $500,000,000 in Treasury notes and United States stocks are likely to be afloat. This large addition to the circulating medium and the general volume of credits will be followed rather by inflation than depression, by in- oreased rather than diminished trade. To all prac- tical intents and purposes, for the iime being, the effect will be the same as if $500,000,000 in gold— more than California has produced altogether— were suddenly added to our stock of the precious metal. It is just so much money borrowed of the future, at a certain rate of interest, and expended in the country in food, clothing, arms, materials of war, horses, wagons, ships, ship stores and sol- diers’ and sailors’ pay. The trade of the South— which we lose this season—docs not amount to one-half this amount; our whole foreign trade is represented by ao less sum than government will spend within a year in the prosecution of the wai It is obvious that such an expenditure distributed over the Northern States must create considerable commercial, industrial and agricultural activity, and mpre than compensate the people for the loss of trade occasioned by the war. It will, of course, revoldtionize our commercial system. The war and war tariff will prove faial to the present race of importers, just as the failure of country col- lections proves fatal to the jobbers. But in the ce of these merchants a new race will spring up whose fortunes will rest apon the internal trade growing out of the war; and at the close of the con- test the country will in all probability be fall as rich, if not richer, than it was when it began. This has been the experience of all nations. It was the great Napoleonic wars which raised Eng- land to her present pitch of prosperity by forcing her to develope her internal resources and te de~ vote her energies to manufacturing on the one hand and navigation on the other; it was to our war of 1812 that onr first factories owed their origin. The war tarif—though not designedly a protective measure—will have the practical effect lusuries and to supply their wants at home; while the war debt will prove not less beneficial, as it will constitute a antial guarantce for the future cohesion of the States, and will compel the people harge their duties as citizens with jon then heretofore, been made in certain quar alarm at the act per- to a in their vauits the ubseriptions to the national loans more ters to cre punt of their t the payment of govermuent debts ia Trea! y notes, Apprehensions on this score are groundle Wiateve ay be thought of the wis. act, at the time it was dom of + n be ne question but its prac- to government— axation, therefore, ut needs all th cious step. if the New 3 uve to supply the gov ont with ana to carry on the war, it would be preposter- yexpect them to cary on sil ancounly &@ | overpment for speci No udness and int value AS & cmrency, they are ythiag we have in the country, and it cannot be dourted but they will eventually supersede all other eurrencies.
