_ \ 2 Th ape sare been im tho FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Buspar, Feb, 18, 1866. Tho past week has witnessed a strong revival of con- fidence in the stability of values on the Stock Exchange, and the market for government, railway and miscelia- neous securities has tended upward accordingly. Tho oprossion which had been the marked feature of affairs in Wail street during the previous five weeks involved & decline of from five to twenty per cent in the prices of leading stocks, for which there was no gubstantial canse. Tho operators for a fall were then dis- counting reduced and indefinitely lower railway carnings and a general disturbance and rapid “shrinkage” of values under the supposed financial policy of the gov- ernment. But instead of the earnings of railways de- clining they are improving, and lines like New York Central and Ene show a large increase thus far this yoar upon the returns for the corresponding period last year, while some of the Western Ines, which showed @ falling off in thelr {receipts towards the close of 1865, are rapidly recovering the loss, and as their working expenses have been greatly reduced and are still in process of reduction, their not earnings are likely to be larger in 1866 than they were last year, At the same time the vague apprehensions of contraction and resumption which pervaded the public mind, and which were aggravated by the ‘bears’? to the best of their ability for’ speculative purposes, are being dissipated by reflection upon the facta of the financial situation, The people are beginning to see that the Seoretary of the ‘Treasury will be powerless to contract the volume of the currency until he has funded or redeemed the twelve hundred millions of floating indebtedness outstanding, eight hundred and thirty millions of which ts in the form of seven-thirty notes, redeemable in currency within a little more than two years, unless voluntarily funded by the holders into six per cent bonds. Notwithstanding all the talk of con- traction which hus been indulged in since Mr. McCulloch’s appointment as Fecretary of the Treasury, thero has been ‘no Contraction, but a steady expansion of the circulating medium through the national bank issues during that timo, and as there Is still forty-flve millions moro of na- tional bank notes to be issued under the original act, this inflation will continue until the maximum of three hundred millions is reached, when Congress may au- thorize a hundred mitiions more, in accordance with the Tecommendation of the Comptroller of the Currency. Exciud ng from caleyiatioti the old State bank issues and fractional curroncy, which in this connection are unimportant, we find that the ciroulation hag increased $14,772,415, or nearly two hundred millions, since the Sist of March last. ‘Tho cireutation at that date and on tho Ist aad 10th of February, cufrent, stood thus;— March 31, 1865, Fuh. 1, 1866, Logat tender notes....... $659, 160,509 $012.101,274 116,380 $865,587,654 National bank notes..... 111,634,670 ++ $770,795, 239 The amount of logal tender notes outstanding at diffor- ent periods during the eleven months ending with the publication of the last debt statement is shown by the following table:— 699 160.569 626,290,438 885 236,269 December 31.. 614,180,430 August 81 654,138,959 1866. Soptembem30.. 678,126,940 January 31.... 612,461,274 The rapidity of the increase of national bank notes will bo seen from the succesding statement of the amount outstanding at various dates since the beginving of 1865 :— These figures furnish a strong argument against the theories of the radical constructionists who assert that the depreciation of the currency and the conseq ent high prices which prevail result ontirely, or almost en- tirely, from the excessive volume of paper moncy afloat, and that to reduce this is to lower prices to the specie standard and resume specie payments, But during the Past year we have witnessed a fall of from ten to sixty per cent in the prices of domestic produce and foreign merchandise, and a fall in gold from 234 in Jan- uary, 1865, to 13734 now, in the face of an increase of mearly two hundred millions in the paper money of the ‘country, How can the radical contractionists recom se (nets favorite avgma with this heavy fall of prices and large Incroase of currency? “The government credit 1m- Proved and the gold promium declined, notwith- standing the increase of the paper money afloat, because of the termination of the war and the consoquoit reduction of expenditures, showing that the value of tho curroucy depended more upon pub- lic confidence tn tho ability of the government to redeom iis promises than the amount of moncy in circulation. That the volume of the currency is abnormally large {s, however, ag unquestionable as that at some future time before we resume specie payments it will require to be contracted. At the same time the condition of the Bational finances ig such that contraction to any material extent even of interest-bearing legal tenders could not bo enforced during the next two or three years without placing the Treasury in a position im which it would bo unable to meet ite maturing obliga- tions, It is, therefore, only a delusion and a snare to Preach and promise contraction before the time arrives when it will become practicable, ~ It results in spasmodic fluctuations of prices by unsettling confidence in values; and, while disturbing the channels of legitimate trade, it makes fortunes for mero speculators, who create capital out of public distrust and uncertainty, ‘The gold market waa firm at 138% 9 138% during the first three days of the week, but it weakened under moderate sales of gold by the Sub-Treasury to 137% on Saturday, and closed at 18734. The supply of coin for delivery was easy and loans were made at the end of the woek at 4.06 por cont in favor of the lender of the coln. The demand for customs duties aggregated $2,803,015, Foreign exchange oponed under depression, resulting from a pressure to sell Southern cotton bills, but afterwards Improved and closed firm. For bankers’ sterling at sixty days 108 was offered on Saturday, but leading drawers ‘Were unwilling to soil at this rate, The supply of cotton and local commercial bills has been entirely absorbed. ‘The large preponderance of imports over exports at this Port offsets toa grentextent the shipments of cotton from the Gulf porta, and just mow the stato of the British money market has @ tendency to strengthen exchauge ou Bngland, At the close of the woek bank- ors’ bills at sixty days were nominal at 108; short sight, 100% 2 9%; commercial, 107!4 a %; documentary (cot- ton), 106 a 107; franca, long date, 6f. 225¢0, a Gf. 26c. ; shert date, 6f. 164 8 6f.17%0 Bills on Antwerp were quoted at &f, 960, @ Sf. 820.; Amsterdam, 40% a %; Frankfort, 40% a 4; Bremen, 17 & 78; Borlin, 70% @ TL There is considerable reluctance mani- fested among buyers to take cotton bills based upon & high price for the staple at Liverpool, owing to the drooping market there, The receipts of cotton in this city for the week ending on Friday evening were 22,403 bales, and the exporie from this port for the wook end- ing on the 13th 11,204 bales. The recoipts at the ports Of the United States since the 1st of September, 1865, ero ontimated at 1,238,010 bales, and the total exports at 651,000 bales, leaving a stock of 584,000 bales on hand. ‘The stock at New Orieans on the 10th instant was 181,000 bales, at Mobile 82,000 bales, at Savannah, on the 9th, 13,820 bales; at Charieston, om the Sth, 6,204 bales; at Columbus, Ga, on January 27, 10,004 bales; at Mont. gomery, Ala., on January 27, 13,824 bales; at Apalachi- cola, Fla., on February 1, 94,692 bales; at Memphis, 18,000 bales. The money market continues easy and rather dull. The supply of capital available for omployment on the Stock Exchange is in excess of the demand, and call Hoang are made freely at six percent, with mamerous exceptions at five, At the close the general tendency ‘Was towards the lower rate, As Thursday noxt—Washington’s birthday—will bea loyal holiday, the banks and public offices will be closed, like with tho Stork Exchange and places of business Senorally.
