FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Tavaspar, Ost. 27~5 P.

After the, call, and at the open board at one o'clock, the market was strong. At tbe second regular board it was Active, but somewhat irregular, The Closing quotations, compared with those of the morning, showed an advance io New York Ventral of 1, Hudson River 13,, Reading 256, Michigan Contra! 1, Michigan Southern 4, Chicage and Northwestern $, A'ton aod Terre Haute %, Quick- witver 3. Bock Island declined %, Mllmois Central &, Fort Wayne &, Cumberia:d Coali. Erie weseteady at 91. Government securities were strong at a fractioval advance. At the open board, at balf-past three, Reading and Fort ‘Wayne wore active and higher, but the general list was @ shade lower. ‘The gold market was unusually steady to-day, the epentng and closing quotations being alike, aud the ex ter variations belong less than two per cent. The rumor that Grauv’e army was preparing for a geue-al movement was rovived; but it appeared to exert hardly avy influence on the market, although the general ex- peotation that active military operations will take place in Virginta between this and election day tends to par- tially chock speculation for a stendy rise, which the *‘bulis” are, of course, anxious to inaugurate. Quick turas are, therefore, tbe order of the day in gold as well as stocks. The quotations were as follows:— 10 A. M.. 216% 1PM 10.06 a. M. 2 a4 2401. 10:80 A. M. + 2165, $40 BM 11:40 a. M 5% 405 PM A strong feeling of dissatisfaction still exists among a large portion of the subscribers to the new goid room With the lessees, The former desire that business should ‘de conducied as at the stock board, with regulations for the exclusion of defuuliers, and that the two hundred dollars subscription should be contributed to a common fund for the use of the association, and they claim that Guoh was the understanding when they paid their may. ‘The lessees, on the other hand, who afe said to have re- ceived forty thousand dollars in subscriptions, regard the cage from a proprietary point of view, merely o'tering to Gransfer the lease of the rocm to the members for one year, and come of these have voted in faver of this ar- rangement, It appears to be “a preity pickle as it @tande.”’ Ar. Fessenden bas settled the question as to the non-re- colvability of the old seven and three-tenths in gold ‘Treasury notes for customs duties, in accordance with the act of February, 1862, which says, ‘‘And be it further emactod, that all duties cn imported gocds shall ‘de paid in cash or in notes payable on domand heretofore @uthorized to be issued and by law receivable iu pay- ment of public dues.” 4 There were on the 30th of September notes of this Gonomination outstanding to the umount of $25,410,400. The remaiving portion of the original issua of $150,000,000 having been converted into six per cent bonds or redeemed im currency. These are convertible or redeemable at any time, but | part o! the whole reacued their maturity on Wh August and the remaiader om the Ist of October, they Dave cessed to bear gold interest, but are entitled to @x per cent interest in currency till after the expiration Of three months’ notice of its discontinuance. The fact that tbe Treasury notes in question were issued urder the same act, namely, that of July 17, 1861, as the sixty ‘millions “gold demand notes,’’ bearing no in- terest, which have been received for customs duties, bas drawn some strong expressions of opinion from the boiders of the former, aud the covstitutionality ‘of the law of February, 1862, has been seriously ques- ened. All of the seven-thirties, excepting about thir. Geen miitions, were bought at par and paid for in specie, and the intention of Congress, whcn it authorized their fasue, may bave been that they should be redeemed tp ©oin at the expiration of the three years for which they ‘were to run; but the act of 1862 clearly showed that this fmtention no longer existed—for meanwhile the legal tender act had obanged the aspect of the case; and, as there was mo mention Ay the act of 1861 to the effect thas they would be re- deemed ig gold, there was nothing binding upon the wernment to that eflect. The ‘old demand notes” were Made on their fase ‘receivable for all public dues,” which ‘was not the case witb the others, and hence, os a point Of constitutional law, it would bave to be decided in favor of the goveroment; and Mr. Fessenden bas acted in strict conformity with the law of Congress, in bis decision cop, tained im the following letter om the subject:— Sim—I am in receipt of your letter of September 21, in whioh you suggest, on bebalf of yourself and clients, that the question whether the notes of the issue of 1961, koown a8 the seven. thirties, are receivavie for duties, be referred for decision either to Judge Beits, of the United States District Court, or to the Attorney.Geveral. In the discharge of my official duties jive already found it ne @essary to exumine and consider fuliy the subject here presented, aud have formed and repeatediy expressed the ‘opinion that these notes ure not so receivable. The ques- tion betng there ore decided in #0 far as its deciston rests ‘with this department, I must decline giving my assent to the proposed reference. Respectfully. W. P. FESSENDEN, Secretary of the Treasury. ‘We heve referrea to this matter again because rumors made receivable in payment of customs duties, Those who are about to invest in petroleum stocks will De interested id learning that the present condition and future prospects of mauy 0’ the new companies are not of a character to lend to the conclusion that the large continued.

T notice e abort paragraph in your paper of this morn- ing tn relation to bread and bakers, which, with your per- mission, will serve me as @ text for a few observations. ‘That the Yankee nation, which olaims for itself and en- Joys the reputation of being the cutess in the world, should be the only one in the world that submits unmur- muringly to the most outragoous, the most stupid and Preposterous imposition iu this matter is almost beyond comprehension and belief. If a person wishes to bay sugar, or coflee or tea at retail, be naturally asks the price, aod it is given to bimat so much per pound. If itis cloth, or silk or muslin he wants, it i¢ so much per yard, But if he wishes to buy bread be alsé- asks the price and is told that it i go much, uot for @ specified amount, but for es much asthe baker chooses to give. Onty apply this method of trade to any other commodity, and the common sense of the community would be shocked and the dealer be laughed atto his fice. Suppose you wished to buy tea, and the shopkeeper ehould teil ypu ho asked one.doliar, not for @ pound, but ior aé mucti¥as be might have the congelence to give you. Or if tt was oloth you wanted, and you were toid that the price was two dol lure, Dot ior & yard, but that the shopkeeper for two dol. lare would cut you of as much as im bis discretion you ought to have in every other country in the world yon buy bread as you Go any other commodity, at a certuin price forja Gertalu specified quantity; but Hot so in this particularly wide awake aud knowiug bation. Now for the ricu this, though felt to be nu impozition, ts of comparatively little importauce, but for the puor, with whom every penny counts, it becomes a grinding exaction, I would tet a baker soll his bread at any price he chooses to ask for it—tbat is bis aiair; but 1 wouid obilge bim to give fur the price be asks a cert-tn quantity. Of course, to bring this about, @ move must bo made by those who are swindied. There is no use of appealing to the bakers, ‘They have thing . 48 (Dg 88 OUF people are stupid enovg: terms.
