NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 9, 1865. 2 Bac? FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ———ree et . Torspa¥, August 8—6 P, M. ‘The stock market was moderately strong, but without* much activity, at the first board this moruing, The im- provement in prices wae general, and the tendency of speculation favored @ rise. Hudson River closed 134 higher than at the second board yesterday, Reading %, Michigan Southern %, Northwestern 144, Fort Wayne %, Cumberland %. Erle improved to 85%. In *tate atocks there is not much doing, but yesterday and to- day there has been a demand for North Carolina sixes, with the coupons attached. Government securities were firm, notwithstanding the advices by the Damas- cus of the decline of five-twenties to 69 a 70 in London.on the 28th ult, The fact that the price of the latter securities here is still about two per cent below that current abroad, together with the belief that the successful laying of the Atlantic cable will cause the quotations in London and New York to approximate more closely, imparts confidence to holders, and there is some disposition shown to “bull”? the market on this side. Coupon sixes of 1881 advanced }{. Ten-forties and five-twenties were steady. At the open board at one o’clock the market was steady at a fractional improvement upon the Western list. At the second regular board it was extremely dull and a fraction lowor, with the exception of Cumberland, which ad- vanced %. New York Central closed 3g lower than at the first board, Reading %, Michigan Southern }, Clevo- land and Pittsburg %, Fort Wayne 3, Ohio and Missis- sippi certificates 34. Government securities were quiet; coupon five-twenties receded }. At the second oper board there was a stagnant but steady market. Erie sold on the call at 65%, Roading 106%, Northwestern 28%, preferred 6334, Atlantic Steamship Company 156. Afterwards, on the street, Prices were well maintained. On the Petroleum Stock Exchange the transactions ‘were very limited, and prices were lower. The sales at the first regular board showed a decline as compared with the closing prices at yesterday’s first board, in Web- stor of Sc. pershare, Buchanan Farm 8¢., Oil Creek 15c., Rynd Farm 5c. At the second board the market was heavy. Pit Holo Creek closed at $9 40, Webster $1 88, Brevoort $11 75, Buchanan 67c., Excelsior $1 70, Hey- drick 1, Germania 39¢., Manhattan 88¢., Oceayic $165, Oil Creek $5, Rynd Farm 95c., United States $29 30. We have prepared a list to show the par value and market price to-day of the stocks most actively dealt in in this market, By this it will be seen that every stock dealt in is considerably below par, with the exception of United States and Brevoort, and in nearly every case it may be accepted ‘as a fact that the stocks are worth no more than they are selling for, if even they are worth so much. The Blood Farm stock, for instance, the par value of which is $100 per share, is quoted at only $12 bid, and there @re many stocks the par value of which ranges from five to fifty dollars which have not a market value of one cent per share. This is not owing to any disappointment in the actual yield of petroleam by the projectors of these companies, but to the unscrupulous manner in which they were organized ‘The great majority of petroleum companies in oxist- ence represent unproductive lands, and these lands were bought for the mere purpose of basing companies upon, without any particular reference to their development or productiveness The chief object of those concerned in getting up new companies was to secure property in a prom- ising locality, #0 as to induce subscriptions to the stock. Everything ‘substantial was in most instances éacrific'd for appearances, and little or nothing was reserved for working expenses. The consequence was that after the subseription books were closed and the money paid in nothing further of importance was done. Such stocks, therefore, soon became worthless, and those who had sudscribed to them found them as unproductive as the . property they represented. The sham capitals of these ‘mew companies were absurdly in excess of the real value of their properties, and being built on an unsubstantial basis there was nothing left for many of them but a con- ign collapse. The following is the table of prices re- ferred to:— 2 Por Val. Bid. Asked. Sales.

The supply of coin is, therefore, very abundant, and loans can generally be made only by paying interest on the currency. The opening price was 144%, from which it had advanced before noon to 144%, but afterwards it weakened 5, and closed at 14454. Foreign exchange is firmer under the European finan- cial advices. The further decrease of £580,000 in the Bank of England bullion, combined with the receding price of five-twenties, points toa diminished supply of mercantile bills drawn against shipments of securities, Bankers’ sterling at sixty days was quoted at 108% a 109, and some houses were unwilling to draw at the latter Fate. Short sight bills were offered at 1094. The supply of money is quite equal to the demand from borrowers, which is moderate. The common rate is seven per cent, but & few exceptional transactions have been made at six per cent. The indications are that the supply of loanable fonds at this centre will increase for some time, and that the amount withdrawn to move the crops will be less than the influx from various sources. The funds with drawn on account of the wool crop are beginning to re- turn, and the payment of nearly eleven millions of in- terest on the seven-thirty notes due on the 15th instant, although only a trifle, will assist the general tendency towards increased ease. The discount line is steady and dull. The general rate for first class paper is 8 a9 per cont, and 10a 12 for the second grade; but some choice ‘amos are reported to have been taken at 7 per cent. The Morris and Essex Railroad Company to-day issue proposals for $1,000,000, in sums of $100, $600 and $1,000 cach, redeemable in fifty years, with coupons Payable in this city on the Ist of May and 1st of Novem ber. The proposed bunds are the balance of the $3,500,. 000 of bonds of the company issued under the first mort- gase, and aro now offered for the purpose of completing the extension of the road from Hackettstown, the present terminus, to Phillipsburg, opposite Easton, and for fur- nishing coal, freight and passenger cars and engines. The bonds Issued by the government to the Pacific Railroad Company are not receivable by the Treasury as ‘8 basis of national bank note circulation at the same rate asthe ordinary securities of the government, but are takon at soventy Instead of ninety cents per dollar. Tho aggregate value of the oxports, exclusive of Specie, from the port of New York to foroign ports for tho woek onding August 8, was $3,804,470, The Now York Fire Insurance Company has declared a dividend of six per cont and government tax, payable on demand.

A resolution calling fora direct expression of the views of the Philadelphia banks, whether for or against a redemption agency, was offerod, but by special request, was withdrawn, so that the sub- ject ia yet without progress.

The supply, however, is about large enough to answor the wants of all borrowers on call who have the richt kinds of securities to offer. The common rate of interest ia six por cent., with occasional excep. tions at seven, but more is charged on time. Commer- cal paper of the first class is in good request and casily sold in the street at seven and a half and eight per cent. for notes having three or four months torun. In the other kinds there are but few transactions, There is not much animation in stocks eithor for permanent holding or speculation, but there are about as many buyers as sellers at tho quotations.

To the public geherally the very romarkable prociama- tion of Governor Perry was an agreeable surprise. In the opjpion of the military the Governor has exceeded his authority. The re-establishment of all, the old officers in their places for the purpose of forming anew State gov- ernment raised a question of the Governor's power to take such a stop. It waa certainly very bold and. doci- sive, Tho majority of those holding office’ atthe tme specified wore violent or prominont socessionists, and, although some have taken the oath from sincere and honest motives, the larger numbor of these old leaders and political tricksters swallow it simply as a matter of loyal expodiency. If these latter are alluded to, then the authority of the Governor is unques- tionable. &., &o. THE ACT OF S£0ESSION.
