2 . r | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAC. | % iar Fripay, July 27—6 P. M, The stock market has been strong and active to-day, ‘and prices have in most imstances experienced a ‘further advance, The most active of the railway shares wore Northwestern coramon and Michigan Southern, but ‘tho ontire list of speculative shares showed considerable Duoyancy. The bulls aro encouraged by the extreme monetary ease and the prospect of its being prolonged. ‘Loans are made freely on call, with exceptions on time at five per cent, and the transactions at four are becom- ing more numerous. Many of the leading operators are out of town, but they are doing @ brisk business by tele- graph; and Wall street and the Saratoga races are thus ‘deing attended to simultaneously. Private advices from tho Latter piace state that small balloons are let fly daily bearing the names of particular stocks much dealt in here as indicators of their future course according to the ‘views of tho balloonists, The following table of the prices current on the dates mentioned will serve to recall to mind the fluctuations in railway shares during the present year:— Jan'y 2%, June 27, July 27, Now York Central, "4 983% «104 Erie..

Government securities were strong. Coupon five-twenties of 1862 ad- vanced 3, third issue 34, seven-thirty notes of the first sories 3, second series 34. The entire list had a very firm undertone, and there is a good speculative demand, especially for fivo-twenties of the original issue, which re becoming scarce in the street. After the call these were quoted at 107354 a %. At the one o'clock session the market was firm. At the half-past two board it was buoyant, except for Erio, which was % lower, and Western Union Telegraph %. Reading closed % highor, Michigan Central %, Illinois Contral 4, Cleveland and Toledo %, Rock Island %, Fort Wayne 3, Mariposa preferred 3. Government securities were strong and active, the demand being chiefly for o!d five-twentles, which sold up to 107%, or higher than at the first board. The third issue advanced 34, seven-thirty notes of tho second series 34. At the half-past three open board the market con- tinued firm. New York Central sold at 1041 a 3, Erie 64% a 65, Hudson 1200121, Reading 111% 9 34, Mioh!- gan Southern 834¢ = %, Ilinois Central 120 a 120%, Cleveland and Pittaburg 85, Rock Island 994; a %, North- western 35% a 36, Northwestern preferred 653¢ a 6534, Fort Wayne 1013 a %. At five o'clock the following quotations were cur. rent:—Now York Central 104% a 104%, Erie 643, a 64%, Roading 111}, # 111%, Michigan Southern 88%; = 83%, ‘inois Central 1193, Pittsburg 853<, Northwestern 35%, Northwestern preferred 6534, Rock Island 99%, Fort ‘Wayne 101%, Ohio and Mississippi 2874, Canton 5234 53, Cumberland 453, a 47. Gold was firm, and loans were mado fiat and at 1-324 fn favor of the iender of the coin. The opening price was 150, followed by an advance to 15014, the closing quotation. The range of the market since the suspen- sion bas been as under:— amt § ‘The foreign exchange market is very dull, and import- ore are deferring remittances in the bope of lower rates; ‘bat these seem hardly probable in view of the enormous preponderance of our imports over our exports at all the porta, which the export: of five-twenties will hardly be sufficient to counterbalance, even if they are as large as the most sanguine expect them to be. Bankers’ bills on England at sixty days were quoted at 108% s %, although ome of the leading drawers asked 108% 2100. Three days’ bills were quoted at 100% a 110% among the rokers. Commercial bills at 1065; a 108, Although the House Committee of Ways and Means ‘are in favor of striking out that clause in Senator Sher- man’s Finance bill which requires holders of seven- thirty motes to give four months’ notice prior to maturity of their intention to convgst them into six per cent vonds, a highly objectionable feature still remains in it— namely, that which provides that after the Ist of Janu- ary next ne part of the reserve of national banks ehall be in the form of interest-bearing noter ‘This is intended, of course, to exclude compound imterest notes; but as these are a legal tender for their face, we cannot sce what right Congress has to take any such course as the one proposed with regard to them. Tt is, in fact, legislating away a right posscssed by the holders of these notes under the authorizing act, and, in effect, qualified repudiation. The proposition was origi- mally introduced in Congress by Mr. Hooper, of Masea- chusetts, in the interest of the Boston bankers, in- fiuenced by a sense of jealousy because the New York banks attracted deposits from Eastern cities through ellowing interest to depositors, and they thought that if the banks were not allowed to hold compound interest notes those of this city would not be abie to afford interest on deposits, and that the drain of capital towards this centre would therefore cease, The paltriness of this motive should have prevented either Mr. Hooper or Mr. Sherman” from introducing the measure, but it seems that Congressmen are willing to lend themselves to almost anything. Should Congress pass the bill with this provision included im it the President will be doing a good service to the public credit by vetoing the whole, Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa were visited with a violent storm on the 224 inst, which did great Gamage to tho crops and other property. The McGregor Western Railroad lost fourteen bridges and some em- bankments, and business on the road, it is expected, will be suspended for a few days, NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
