The increasing trade and travel of this river has attracted now steamers to our shores, and compelied the building bere of new steamboats adapted to our trade, After this month we shail bave four mails each month from Kurope by steam. The chief support of these three dif. ferent companies is fram the passenger traffic, It oocurs: fometymes IAL Ove remi-mentbiy steamer carries three hundred passengers. These, aban ayorage of $200 per passenger , will give from this source alone $60,000, Tho rates for freight are enormous, and no wonder that the immenge profits haye attracted the attention of mew companies, provoking more rapid passages and lowor prices. ‘The new tariff here gees into effect in two or three days. ‘The cilect will bo dmastrous to many interests of this country. A heavy tariff has beoe placed on all printing materials and on ail printed matter. The rete has been levered to one-half or leas on flour, on account of the large quantity now produced in this country. The crop of corn in tho interior is beyond all precedent. It is as Jn Iflinois before the days of railroads, for the intorior affords no market for the surplus, aud while the South is suffering for waniof corn, it is rotting in the West, tho nearest market not paying (ne expense of transporta- tion. There have been fearful disturbances with the Indians in the West, the whole province of Salta having been overrun by them. A troaty was lately made with tho Indiana in the South, and no sooner was tho military force of the tribes sent homeward than the military com- mander contemptuously tore up the treaty in the face of the chief by whom it wasmade. Unless averted by di- plomacy the whole ‘fighting force of the South will be arrayed against this government. An important movement has been made in Patagonia by an English missionary society, whose object ia to in- struct and civilize the Indians.. It is superintended by the Rev W, 5, Stirling, a man of rare worth for sucn a work, He is assisted by eight valuable young mon,do- cated in various parts, and in each centre an important beginning has been made, Already thoy have attracted the attention of this government, Tho work and the strife concerving it bave reached such a crisis that nothing conld be done until the purposes of the national government conld be known. Accordingly, Mr. Stirling has come to this city to ask the Minister of the Joterior by what authority the way was closed agaiuat him ia Patagonia, Dr, Rowson, tho Minister, gave him the mpst cheerful assurances of protection and informal aid. waa pleasant to see Dr. Rowson's cordial manrer, It may be partly accounted for by the fact that he is the son of av American, And that bia ancestors wore among the first pilgrims who linded on Plymouth rock.

M. ‘There is more activity in money, geowing out of the imereas: of speculation in stocks and merchan- dive, and brokers pay six per oent willingly for call leans, while speculators pay seven. Most of the leading lenders exact margins of 15 @ 25 per cent in lending on stocks—a practice which» gives solidity to the market, and is really calculated far the beat interests of the borrower. It is not a little amusing, however, to witneas the discrimi- nation exercised by some, of the old lenders, who ask onby ten per cent margin. in lending on a bank or insurance stock, but exact twenty-five per cent in lending on a railway stock representing pro- perty that is earning 20 a 26 per cent per annum. Gold continued to advance to-day, and sold as high as 14734, closing at five P. M. at 146%. Ex- change was all the morning at 161% a 162 for bankers’ bills, In the afternoon it was 161 a 16144. The advance in gold of 4% per cent in two days, is of course too rapid to hold, and whatever may be the ultimate course of the market, a reattion may now be looked for. This last upward move- ment is mainly duc to speculation, The inquiry for gold for xport and for duties is lively, but not lively enough to force up the price at the rate of two per cent aday. All this month the November coupons on the 5-20 bonds will be receivable for duties, and will measurably re- lieve the inquiry for gold. And furthermore, the recent advance in the premium has had the effect of stimulating exports of produce and merchan- dise, and of largely increasing the export of American stocks, thereby swelling the supplics of bills, ‘The steamer on Saturday took out a good many stocks, and the China to-morrow will probaply take out not less than half a million, and perhaps three-quarters of a million of securities—chiefly bonds of 1881 and 5-20 bonds.

A very vigorous effort was made to depress old Southern, probably in the interest of parties who are short of the stock, and the price waa at one time as low as 85, against 8534 last evening. The talk of the sellers was that an in- junction is to be got out against the recent now issue. Any such application as this would be, in effect, a request to the court to compel the Michigan Southern directors to buy back the uew stock issued, which they can do at a profit to themselves of «bout half a million a %4 200 Alton “t Han i 643g 100 do if 00 Tua The Sal $25000 American gold 141% 474 too ahs cami Gi ‘as dollars.

But the fact is, all this talk i 36° about injunctions and legal proceedings is mere | _50 Quicksilver o4 nonsense, intended to frighten holders into sellmg Io we ia 2 1 the stock which the bears require for delivery. The company’s counsel is in communication with the committee of the Stock Exchange, and is pre- pared to show not only that the transaction was perfectly straight and ,legal, but that it was emi- nently beneficial to the company. The road earned over $300,000 last month. October promises $350,000; and the prospect of a 4 a 5 per cent dividend on the common stock next February is very fair. In the afternoon the stock closed at 86% bid. In other respects the market was strong this morning. Erle was firm; Central rose 4, Pitts- burg %, Rock Isiand 4%, Fort Wayne 114, Prairie du Chien 1, Qaicksilver 2, Cumberland 1, Canton 34, Terre Haute 3, Marietta and Cincinnati Ist 5, and 2d preferred 4. The inquiry for the low priced stocks was very active, and several of them seemed to promise an advance. Ohio and Missia- sippi certificates were % better; the prefetred certificates also rose 1 per oat. At the one P. M. call of the Laaae board the features were the same. Erie rose 4, Pittsburg 7%, Reading 4, Cen- tral tg, and the whole market was strong, with the single exception of old Southern, which was freely offered by parties whose object seemed to be how little, not how much, they could get for their pro- perty. At the second regular board the market was very strong, and Erie rose to 109, other de- acriptions sympathiziag. Old ‘Southera was ham- mered as before, At the four P. M. call the whole market was higher, and the indications were very marked that we are again on the éve of a period of wild specalation.
