2 - AL AND COMMERCIAL. —— Sumpay, July 9, 1865. ‘The past week witnessed a buoyant market for stocks of all kinds, notwithstanding the absence from the city ‘of many of the speculative brokers and operators, and the indications are in favor of @ further DOt [RCOD*\4qr. able rise, but it will doubtless be intertupted ‘St intervals ‘by sales to realize as well as by the efforts of the bulls, who sold out to buy in at lower figures. With an ‘easy Ave por ceat money market and a firm one for gold, there is, 60 long as the present large earnings of the rail- ways continue, no scope for a bear movement, But ‘until the bull party is more strongly reinforced than at present the rise will have difficulty in progress- ing beyond a certain point not remote, for the reasen that its weakness wili Invite attack from the bears, who, by demoralizing the bulls, would make converts on their own side. A bullors bear party is an aggregation of individuals who are with difficulty united tn any project, Dut very easily dispersea by their own fears, and hence they often lack the courage necessary to resist # resolute attack, ‘The gold market has been rather quiet, but on the whole steady. The supply of cash gold increased to- ‘wards the close of the week, and the demands of bor- Towers were very light, owing to the limited volame of Dusiness. The borrowing rate, which was threo-siz- teonths per day at the beginning, gradually declined, tily on Friday and Saturday loans were made in afew cases fiat. The extreme quotations were:— Notwithstanding the sharp advance, followed, bow- ever, by adecline tn Ove-twenties abroad, and the ma- turing of more than nine millions of iaterest w gold on miscellaneous bonds of the government, the market showed great strength, and at the close tbe speculative tendency was upward, in anticipation of a further decline in five-twenties in the European markets, Tbe latter, mevertheless, cannot influence the ultimate course ct gold, and speculation merely seeks a cemporary object in selecting these securities ae a e\andard to goby. Tho fact that there is hardly more cotton stored and growing fm the Southern country than will be required for do- @estic consumption before the crop of 1866 ts market- @ie, and that the extent of the latter ts ap uncertainty, @ependent upon the solution of the probiem of free 1a- Qer, presents one strong reason in favor of the theory @as the balance of trade will be considerably ost @ during the next two or three years at least, notwithstanding the recuperstive powers @ the nation and the diversion of malo population from the army and cavy vo twduetrial pur- suits. Even the million of bales or 0 uf cotton whicb 18 in the South will be siow to come forward, and it can for the most part only be bought with gold, and not green: backs, by Northern capitulisis, Prejudiced writers may strive to make beleve that we are Lone the pocre? ip specie for having exported from this port $164,204.176 more of gold and silver than we imported between tbe Ast of January, 1862, and the Sist of May, 1865, but if they were to count the quaotity of specie now im the country, California and the goid Ter- ritories excepted, both in and out of the banks and Sub-Treasury, and compare it with the amount currest fust before the suspension at the end of 1861, they would certainly be undeceived, however unwilling they might de to confess it. We are too apt to speak of national affairs as we would like thom to be, rather than as they are, Thus we mag. nify our crops of cereals for the present year into buge dimensions, entirely inconsistent with the extent of tand under cultivation, That we shall have abundaat cropy seems in every way likely, but that the quantity of Droadstaffs available for export willbe very much smalier than in 1860 is indisputable, and it promises bardly to exceed that of last year. The deception which the clearing house banks of this city weekly practice upon the public in their epecto re. turns demands correction. They represeated taat ween that they had an aggregaie of $16,454,090, but this is @ gross misrepreeentation of the fact. Not only is « large sum to certificates teeuca by the Bank of New York and lodged with other Danks counted twice, but a large portion of the remainder 1s not actually to bo found in their vaults, as the fact of several of those most prominent among ther oumber doing unable to pay checks for small amounts without first sending out to buy or borrow the accessary gold sufficiently showed. The Philadelphia banks are represented to have $1,216,203 in specie; but there is reason for believing that even this trifling sum is in excess of the amouct really beld. ‘The foreign exchange market bas deen lees uneettiea than during the previous week, and towards the close there was a better demand for bankers’ bills at 1098 34. Some of the securities sent hence for the sake of being drawn against with a view to depress tbe rates of ex- change, and so affect gold, promise to meet with a tess profitable market abroad than those who entered into tho speculation expected. Money was in moderate demand from the Stock Ex- change at five per cent on call, while among the national banks and seven-thirty note agents loans were made on government securities at four. There war a little more demand for discounts and tho tendency of rates was up- ward, owing to the preference given by lenders to the pew certificates of indebtedness over commercial paper. Legal proceedings are reported to have been com- menced by one of the holders of Michigan Southern Rail- way shares against one or more of the managers of the Line for unlawfully depreciating the value of the pro- perty by manipulating it on the Stock Exchange. The plaintiff claims par for the stock be bolds, and eves for damages to the extent of the difference between that and tts market price. There is every probability of his being pon-suited, however, It is ratber Jate in the day for ope apeculator in Wall street to rue avotber for influencing the market price of a stock, whether the iatter be presi- ent or director of the road represeniea by the stock or not. The management of our rai is £0 notoriously corrupt that no one familier with the subject is at all surprised at anything be may hear fim relation to the cooking of acccunts, the suspecsicn of proper or the payment of unwarranted dividends, and the @ttendant bulling or bearing of the particular stock, It fs ecustom which has been tactily or avowedly sanc- toned woo long by too many to be easily swept out of ex- fetence, and it has entered too deeply into the ramifica- tions of stockjobbing life to be corrected by the law at guch @ stage as that involved in tbe action referred to. Speoutators ip raflway stocks are not the men to reform the bad management of our railways, as av actlon for damages between them is merely a bull avd bear ccatro- ‘vorsy carried into a court of justice, or injustice, as the decision happens to be right or wrong. But in the course of time these stocks that are now tossed by Dulls and trodden down by bears will be withdrawn to « great extent by investors from the power of cliques, and {a proportion as the temptations to speculate in the stocks of their own roads diminish the pubiic morality of rail- ‘way prosidents and directors wil! be likely to.impro' The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has approved the opinion of the Solicitor of the Treasury with regard to taxing the gross and not the average bank deposits; but the banks will do well to contert ibis arbitrary interpreta- tion of the law, Judge Nelson, of the United States Circuit Court, fs reported to have decided sgainst the applica. tion of the tax of one-twentieth of one per cent @n sales of sks to sales made by brokers them. elves, Whether this decision was given with ro- Bardto United States stocks only, of securities of all Kinds, we are not yet aware, The tax should never have Boon levied upon the former, but that It was the Toter- ai Revenue law goes to prove, and to except one class @f seourities and not another from the operation of the Law is to.act inconsistently with its letter; while to ex- Gept brokers from the tax and still mulet their customers fn {t is to make a distinction in which thero is no equall- ty, and therfore no justice. ‘The Marictta and C.ncinnat!
