ALR NEE CRT STEERS FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL: Loutaville Domer speech | approved Trespay, August 18—6 P. M. Money is easy to the brokers; the street rate for call loans is 5 a 6 per cent; but few of the leading houses pay over 5 per cent. Some country banks, anticipating lower rates of interest, are trying to lend money for long periods of ic. First class paper sells at 42445 per cent; debt certificates are wanted at % percent discount. Jold hardly fluctnated at allto-day. It sold in the morning at 12554, and closed at five P. at about 12534 a 12524, with a rather downward ten- dency. Exchange was 158, with a very light in- quiry. This has been a very exciting day in the stock market, and the increase of speculation has been very marked. This is really the first day of the present movement on which the volumeof busi- ness approximated to that of the exciting days of May last. As was expected, Erie was @ leading stock to-day. It opened at 111, against 110 last evening, rose almost without a check to 11644, and closed at five P.M. at 116%%, The long neglect with which Erie has been treated by speculators, while other stocks have risen to 140 and 150, ap- pears thus to be passing away, and the great speculators seem pretty confident now that it will not be long before it commands as high a price as It is earning at the rate of 18 per cent on its stock, and has a future greater than that of any other road in the coun- try. Central was dul] at the morning board, but rather better afterward. Harlem was very mercurial. At the first board it fell from 167 to 158, then rallied, between the boards, to 170, fell off again at the second board to 161, and closed at five P.M. at 16134. Pitts- burg opened at 102, against 105 last evening, and fell to 99%. In the afternoon it was 102% a Galena rose 2, Rock Isiand 134, and Chicago and Alton 3, at the morning board. Reading was quiet in the morning, but took a start in the afternoon and rose 1% per cent, closing with considerable indications of foture activity. The business of the company is increasing steadily, and will certainly give the stockholders 20 per cent this year. Michi- gan Southern was rather neglected to-day, aud fell off to 108 per cent, against 110 yesterday; the guaranteed was also lower. Between the boards, at the one P. M. call and at the second board, the activity was unabated, and the outside orders steadily on the increase. The real public—not the public-of Wall street—were larger buyers to-day than they have been since the present rise com- menced. Atthe four P.M. call the market was very stroug indeed, egpecially for Brie. and it OEE, A SS PR Se RATES closed with a decided upward tendency.

They are to bear aasmall rate of interest, which, however, will not clog their free circula- tion until a considerable amount of interest has accumulated on them. As each interest day ap- proaches they will gradually disappear from cir- culation and be bought up by speculators. After the interest on them has*been paid they will again enter into general circulatioh as money, and pass from hand to hand at their face value. The prospect of this addition to the volume of cur- rency afloat naturally suggests inquiries as to the future ot the money market. For some time past the volume of currency haa been steadily in- creasing. To replace the $150,000,000 of specie currency afloat before the war, we have $400,- 000,000 of legal tender greenbacks, an increase of $75,000,000 in our bank currency, and about as much postal currency as there used to be silver in use, We are now going to have, within six months, probably $150,000,000 of new legal ten- ders and as much new bank currency, issued under Mr. Chase’s act. But this enumeration of the va- rious kinds of circulating money afloat and author- ized affords no reliable guide to the actual quan- tity of money held by the people. ‘Since the war began all kinds of stocks and many other kinds of property have largely increased in value. The in- creage is, for the time being, an actual gain of just so much wealth to the country, just as the great decline of 1857 and 1858 in- vo'ved an actual loss of just so much as all kinds of securities declined. A mag who held one thousand shares of Erie, for instance, when it was worth 40, was worth $40,000; the same man, holding the same property to-day, is worth $115,000, and has made $75,000 as surely as if he had dug it out of a mine or earned it by trade or industry. If there are,as is supposed, ‘#1,200,000,000 of railroad securities representing railroad property in this country, the aggregate increase in the market value of this property within the past year cannot be less than $500,- 000,000, and there is in the country just that amount of new wealth to be invested, to be used in speculation, to be spent in extravagance or to be turned to good account in industry and en- terprise. Many other kinds of property have ap- preciated in market value in a corresponding de- gree, and the effect has been the same. In endeavoring, therefore, to estimate the increase of money wealth in the country since the war broke out, it is necessary not only to compute the volume of new currency, but likewise to take into account debt certificates and other paper repre- sentatives of value—which are really mortgage bonds upon all property subject to taxation—and further to estimate the increased money value of all property of which the price has increased since the commencement of the war. If this estimate ba carefully and thoroughly made it will be found that the relations previously existing in this coun- try between the supply of and demand for money hve been completely owerset, and that we are entering upon a new era in this respect. Formerly, in this city, the ave- yyge value of money was seven per cent. Dur- the railroad building era, from 1851 to 1°57, borrowers were in excess of lenders; money in New York was worth on the average 9 per cent, and 7 per cent divi- dend paying stocks ruled usually at 9 a 96. After the crisis of 1857 money fell in value, owing te the stoppage of money-consuming enterprises, Lut the decline in all classes of securities during a:l after the crisis of 1857 wiped so much capital out of existence that the iuii in the rate of interest was not permanent, and the moment business re- ed the rate rose, Within the past year or two a'| this capital has again been called into exist- and the government has added to an immense volume of paper money, d)bt certificates and other representatives of value. There has been no simultaneous de- velopment, of money-consuming enterprises. We are building few new railroads, opening few new mines, building few merchant steamers, car- ry'ng on very little general business on credit. The consequence is that the supply of capital is steadily and gradually exceeding the demand for it, and the rate of interest is steadily tending to- wards the point at. which it stands in older coun- tries, where capital has always been in excess. The opinion of many well informed financiers is that for a long period after the war—until, in fact, enterprises qnough spring ap to consume the in- creaged wealth of the country—the average rate of interest in New York will not exceed five per cent per annum, and the natural par of seven per cent dividend paying securities will be 130. This was what the Secretary of the Treasury had in view when he refused par for 100,000,000 of thirty years fives.
