2 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. eee enn lylo «Ph The fover of speculation Paget sooumiiy oe in uae stove mxcuange is daily carrying prices higher, and the horned adventurers who throw dice at the shrine of Mammon in Wall sirect are exulting in'thetr triumph, A long summer of recovery may follow a spring of stagnation aud depression, and: the bub- ble of speculation may be blown into the gor- goous dimensions which made famous and lustrous, but tn the eud ruinous, tho early part of the year 1864, whon the Stock Exchange witnedsed {is memorable Bull run, of which a dispersed multitude of “lame ducks’’ now alone remain to bear witness. The ‘‘bulig” wero Chased through that terrible ordeal against their will, and the ‘bears’? saueezed them into a fearful submission, Now the bulls are sniffing profits in tho speculative atmosphere, and one by one they are toasing tho playthings of the Stock Ex- ohange. The bears have no courage to confront them, and, litte a railway train wilh Erie as the locomotive, the ontire list of active stocks moves onward, At tho early session of the open board Erie sold at 7414 4%, N. ¥. Central 993, Michigan Southern 8134, Cleve- land and Pittsburg 84%, Rook Island 963; a 3, Northwestern 84% & 4, proferrod 62% a 633g. At the first regular board Erie was frm at the closing price of yesterday's half-past two board. Erie preferred was 3¢ highor, Reading >, Cleveland and Pittsburg 4, Fort Wayne 3. Cleveland and Toledo was 3 lower, Northwestern 34, Cumberland 4g, Western Union Telegraph 44. Government securi- ties wore active, but the highost prices of yesterday wore not fully sustained, although gpeeulation in them is almost exclusively In favor of a rise. Coupon five- twenttes of 1862 declined 44, ten-forties 3. Coupon five twentics of the third issne were 34 highor, At tho open board at one o'clock Erle remained frm at T4\, and Reading advanced to 1083. At the haif- past two board the markes was well gustained. Erie was firm at the closing price at the morn- ing board. Reading’ was 1g higher, Michigan Southern 44, Tilineis Central 4, Western Union Tele- graph 3%. Now York Central was 34 lower, Cleveland and Pittsburg 4,/ Rock Island 3. Northwestern and Fort Wayno wefe steady. @dvernment securitios were quiet. Coupsn Ave-twentics of the old issue, which aro the favoriiés of the hour in anticipation of a foreign do- mand woich will carry them materilly higher, opened steady, but closed at a decline of 3¢. Coupon fivo-twen- ties Of the third issue advanced 34, ten-forties 44. At tho Lali-past throe board Erie soid at 7434, Rending 108%, Michigan Southern 814, Illinois Central 1221/, Cloveland aud Pittsburg (b. 3) 8424, Reck Island, 9634, Northwestern 843{—preferred 63%, Fort Wayno 981. Afterward the markot remained steady and tho quotations at half-past five were:—New York Con tral 9944 a 4, Erie T4.a 34, Hudson River 114 a %, Read- ing 108% a %, Michigan Southorn 817; a 82, Cleveland and Pittsburg 8454 a %, Cleveland and Toledo 109 a %, Rook Island 96:4 a 14, Northwestern 34)4 a 74—preferred 34g, Fort Wi 9814. %, Ohio and Miscissippi certificates 2734 a %, Cumberland 46% a 34, Qmeksilver 51) 2 52. Tho supply of money is a little more Hmited in Proportion to the demand than it was a fortnig) ago, but the wants of the Stock Exchange freoly supplied at five per cent, A few exceptional twansactions at six per cent were reported, Dut these afford no criterion of the general market. In- Wrest will coase on a large amountof one yeur certificates Of indebteduoss on the 15thinghyand the redemption of those will contribute materially te the prevailing monc- tary oasc. Tho disbursement of interest on the third series of (he seven-thirty loan, due on the same day, wiil farther swell tho volume of loanable funds at this centre, and tend to stimulato speculation on the Stock Exchange. The drain to the West, which has bern cons atant, but by no means heavy during the last month, has subsided into very slender proportions, and its offoct upon monetary affairs here is hardly if at all poreptible. The discount line is quiet and the supply of first class commercial papor is light’ Tho bulk of this passes a Out por cont, with a cow exceptions at 5. ‘ ‘The gold market opened at a further advance, namely, 163%, but quickly reacted to 1525{. It afterwards re- oovered to 153%{, but finally ciosed at 162%, Loans wero made without interest, gnd at 2 a 4 per cent, for carrying. Tho shipment to-morrow 13 expected to aggregate neatlf two millions, and the prospect of con- tinued shipments on a considerable scale keeps tho market frm and induces speculation for a rise, notwith- standing the postpeuvmout of cue Tart VIN and the ad vance of five.twontios in Europe. Our import trade i not oniy very large, but on the increase, aud our export trade is not only very small, but on the decrease, and the good effect of the European war upon tho latter will of course not be felt for some months to come, ‘Tho longer the war thers lasts and the wider it oxtende, tho nfforo i« will stimulate exports of our breadatnffi znd also of our securities, although tho fact of the latter being held mainly in Germany exposes us to contingen- olea which we have slready referred to. The prevolling theory is that thefe will be a ‘continuous export of bonds which wil! cause them to advance in price, but that this will not for six months or moro to come ve sufficient to equalize the value of the exports and imports of produce and general merchan- igo; that conbequently ‘regular weekly shipments of apocio will be quired to make up the differcnce, and that therefore gold will advanc> too, under the luv supply whick remains in the country, Dowbie eagles oontinue scare fur shipment, ane '¢ por cont prom lum ig bid Lor them, ‘The markot for forvign exchange opened with a show of firmaons, and leading drawers arked 10016 for ther bills on England at sixty doys; but asthe day advanced the demand declined, and at the cloe the teat banker ills at long datos wore quoted at 109, second Nand and thoy were dificult of sale even at thet, Short sight bills which oponed at 110% 1 111 declined to 110% allOX.

How delightfu! it is to get away from the monotonous brown stone fronts of the city, to leave the dinning bus- tle of Broadway, and go beyond the sound of Trinity bells! Hore we have no morning mail to interfere with our breakfast dizestion, and no offico business to add ex. citemont to the heats of summer; and certainly we do not require any annoyance additional to the latter trou- ble, for the past few days havo rivalled the tropics '= 86- vority, We grumble to our hearts’ content at the two hours of broiling sun; but tn reality the cool sea breeze ts enjoyablé at almost any time of the day, and during the early moraings and aftor twilight perfectly de- lightfut. Every day marks our rapid progress towards the “height of tho season.” Tho number o° guests at the hotels, the crowds of notabilities, and the increase of bathers indicate the advance of the Branch to its most brilliant timo. After broakfast the ladies congregate in the drawing rooms, and are treated to choice vocaliza- tion by tho finest amatenrs of New York, It 1s no smal! mattor to commence the day ia on elogant drawing Foom, surrounded by a bovy of charming Misses, and, looking out on the eea at tho ships sailing slong the coast, listen to select atrs played and sung in dulcer bar- mony. ‘We are very unceremonious here—some might call it unfasiionabte; but we come hore for physical re lief and for the sake of absence from the dissipations of Gotham.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF CHILE. es Railroad and Other Improve! te Pro- gressing—Chilean Finance—Statement of the National Bank. &e. OUR SANTIAGO CORRESPONDENCE. Ssnv1aG0, Chile, June 9, 1866. APFAMS IN CHILE, Tho domestic affairs of Chilo romain undisturbed by ony scrious agitation, The clection of President, which takes p'ace on the 25th inst, is stirring up the animosi- tues of political parties, and the canvass increases in in- ‘terest as the day of election approaches. It 1s impossibie to predict the romlt with certainty; but there ia little doubt of the continuance of the present administration. Whether the dissatisfaction with it will assume a more violont form than offensive Ianguago is yet to bo deter- mined. In fact, it is fot easy in a country like this to estimate the atrength of any party unti! its power has deon fully tested, and those who now assume a threaten. ing attitnde may soon not only be found in a small mi- nority, but as contented with afvire as if they took very little interest In the policy of the government. ‘The decree requiring all subjects of Spain to become naturalized or leave the country within thirty davs from the 28th of May is being enforced, and a number havo taken out the necessary papers for remaining here. About one hundred and thirty have signified their inton- tiona to become citizens of Chile, and there is no doubt that all who have been hero for any length of timo will do so before the expiration of the allotted period.

The republic al- ready bas over four hundred milos of railroad and about seven hundred miles of tclegraph in operation, The roads are all built in tho best possible manner, have American ard English rolling stock, and in some ins stances pass over grades that hive hitherto been re garded as insurmountable, ‘The road between Santiago and Vaiparaiso, most of which was constracted by Mr. Tlenry Melggs, of New York, is a wonder of oneinoering, passing through five tunnels and over valleys on fron ¥iudvets equal to any in the wor The railroads eon buct Santia o and Valparaiso, Santiago and the agriou!- tural segions of the south, Coqtimbo sand the mines of Tomaya and Parnacilio and Caldera with the. great sil- ver and copper regions of Copiapo and Charnacillo. Telegraphs extend from Santiago to Valpara'so, to Co- quimbo and wo the southern provinces, and are’ nearly completed to. Concepcion and Caldera, Tt ta probable that the southern line will soon be extended to Lota and othor seaports in the far south. There ts much talk of constructing a telecraph line over the Cordilleras to Buenos Ayres, and also of putting up another along the coast to Callao and Lima, in Peru. ‘Those enterprises, however, are not likely to'be under- taken very soon.’ Railroads are wore profitable to tho government, and wit bo builtas rapidly as the means will justify, It is earnestly dosired by the government to extend the Southern road from San Fernando to Con- cepcion, a distance of two hundred and seventy miles, Thirty miles of this extension is alroady being con- swreeted by an American contractor, Mr Hill; and Meiges proposes to build the remainder for six millions of dollars, The country needs the road, not only to fariliiate trade betwoen the producing regions and the consumers in Santiago, but to strengthen the cchosion between remot* ces and eR vernment. of Chile will justi ft this work As soon asthe finan: will be accomplish: Other lines are also to be sur- veyed in the northora districts, so as to facilitate mining tions, and ina fow years the republic will havo as complete a network of rail aa any one of the United States.
