, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. WEDNESDAY, August 19, 1868, ‘The gold market has been under the infuence of heavy bear qperations to-day, and the ductuations ‘were from 144% to 145%, with the closing transac- ons prior to the adjournment of the board at 3 P. ML at 145%, following which the price was ham- their best to force an artificial im order that they may profit the violent upward reaction which must follow. The reputed leading bulls, while representing to the @treet that they were buyers of gold, have been re- cently bearing the market for the purpose of buying at lower figures preparatory to @ fresh upward Movement. But it would be well if the half dozen ‘vagabond foreign and native bankers, who make it their business to manipulate the price of gold and and = the g @ season, for pickpockets and burglars are com- paratively harmless and respectable members of the community. What is most necessary in the standard of Values is stability, and such fluctuations as we have latterly experienced are entirely inimical to them. All kinds of trade are reduced to a species of gambling when gold suddenly rises from 140 to 160 and falls back just as quickly to where it started from. The speculators care nothing whether gold goes up or down, for they have their profit either ‘way, and frequent and violent fuctuations are what they most desire. Such a class of men would not have been tolerated in England during the period of @pecie suspension there and the exisience of a gold Yoom would have been prohibited. There is no reason why such an incubus shouid be suffered to exist here, and the sooner the disreputable den is broken up the better. Loans were made at 3 a5 per cent per annum for carrying, The gross clearings amounted to $80,231,000, the gold balances to $1,836,715 and the currency bal- ances to $3,469,243, The steamer Russia for Liverpocl took out $76,000 in specie, and the Sub- Treasurer disbursed $40,000 in coin in payment of interest during the day. ‘he price of gold varied as follows:. 104. M,., 145% 38P.M.. 10:10 A. M.. +1453¢ 5:40 P. M. . ‘The railway share market has been foverish, and at imtervals weak and excited since the opening, mainly owing to the continued decline in Erie, which is being sold down largely by the present directors of the company, but apparently without reference to the recent ope- rations of Mr. Drew in the same direction. The re- port that the Erie transfer books had been closed this afternoon preparatory to the annual election took the street by surprise, and a fall in the stock to 4734 was the result, from which, however, there was @ rally of one per cent, The purpose of the present irectors in closing the books was construed as signi- cant of their intention to retain control of the Compa- any, if possible, at all hazards, and for some weeks past ‘it is known that they have been transferring large @mounts of stock to their own names. It was not @enerally expected that the books would be closed prior to the 15th of September, and the course adopted may be designed to arbitrarily shut off op- Position to the re-election of vhe present board. ‘There is no change to note in the condition of the ‘money market. Call loans are made freely at four Per cent on mixed collaterals, and in some instances on governments at three and three and a half, while ‘rst class commercial paper is quoted at from six to @even per cent, according to the length of time 1t has ‘to run, There has been a further improvement in the mar- ket for government securities, although at the open- ‘ing prices were slightly lower than at the close last evening. There was a decided change for the better later in the day, but the advance was stoutly resisted ‘by some of the dealers, who took the inittative tn the bearmovement. Prices are now abouttwoand a half per cent lower than they were a week ago, and for this decline there is no legitimate cause. More- over, they are nearly two per cent lower than they ‘were at this time last year. At the close the market ‘was steady at the subjoined quotations:—Re- gistered, 1881, 1134 a 113%; coupons, 1881, 113% a 114; '5-20’s, registered, 1862, 108}¢ a 10834; 6-20 Coupon, 1862, 1135¢ a 113%; do., 1864, 108% a 109; do., 1865, 111 a 11134; do., 1865, January and July, 107% & 107%; do., 1867, 10744 @ 10734; do., 1868, 1073¢ @ 107%; 10-40's, registered, 103%; a 104; 10-40’s, cou- pon, 108% a 108%; Septemb:r compounds, 1865, 11834; October do., 118, Messrs.

In shipping ‘bonds very little is doing. At the commencement of business the railway share market was weak and sales of Erie were made as low as 4834, but at the early session of the open ‘board prices showed improvement, Erle gelling at 493, New York Central at 122%, and Fort Wayne at ‘104%. At the first regular board the volume of busi ‘ness was moderate, and prices were without any ‘material change. On the call New York Central closed 8% lower than at the same time yesterday, #rie 13, Rock Island 234, Fort Wayne 1%, Ohio and Mississippi %, Pacific Mall 2%, Western Union Telegraph %, and North Carolina sixes, ex,coupon, 144.

Subsequently Erie sold at 47% in the midst of great excitement, but at the close at six o'clock the following quotations were current, the market being at the time quiet at a partial recovery from the lowest prices touched:—New York Central, 1239 & 12334; Erie, 483 @ 48%; Reading, 88% a 80; Michigan Southern, 82% @ 83; Cleveland and Pitts- ‘burg, 65% a 8644; Chicago and Northwestern, 80% a 8 803%; do. preferred, 8034 a 80%; Rock Island, 08%; Fort Wayne, 106% # 105%; Pacific Mall, 100)¢ a 10034; ‘Western Union Telegraph, 34 8 34%.

Contrary to general expectation quietude {s still the most noteworthy feature of the domestic cotton goods market, where business bas been on a most limited scale all the week In prices there have been few changes and scarcely any of moment, The “trade” appear to be awaiting further de- velopment with regard to the cotton market, which has sud- denly assumed a tone of considerable buoyancy in response to the highly favorable reports by the cable. But the demand for cotton coming exclusively from the spinners bas been ex- ceedingly light, as most of them have a supply sutlicient to last until the middle of September or the lst of October, and declare their determination not to purchase at the advanced prices, but to await the arrival of the new crop betore making their purchases. This has thus far excited but little influence, holders remaining firm under the conviction that all their goods will be wanted sooner or later at full prices. There ts not the least uneas!. ness on this score, and it does not seem probable that prices will materially decline, even in case that the existing quietude continues, Some few have evinced a little anxiety, it ia true, and dropped their quotations a little, but in contradistinction to this apis a number of fabrics have been marked up cor- resyondingly. On the whole, however, the market, though quiet, hud ried steady und to changes of moment have taken place. With ravorabie reports concerning the crops from all sections, combiaed with the Knowledge ‘that stocks in the interior are light, the existing quictude occasions no little comment, and is {8 almost universully attributed to the uneast- ness engendered in the public mind by the bitter parti- sanship which is manifest on every hand in conduct. ing the Presidential campaign, But for the bitter strife now going on between the two great political parties, there [s scarcey # doubt in the m ¢ the mercantile public that the fail trade in dry goods ere this have been inaugu- rated under most favorable auspices, In brown musiins business bas been unusually light, but prices are substantiaily the same, nee musling have likewise ruled dull, and prices favor e buyer. Prints have been fairly active in comparison with other goods, but prices have in some cases been lowered a trie, without, however, indnclag any increased movement. Drills maintain the firm tone noved in our last, though the demand for teem has been light, Checks remain quiet, Jeans seli siowiy, without change in prices, , In other descriptions of cotton goods no change whatever has occurred, the demand being iigut and prices steady. In woolen goods there has been greater activity and greater firmness, based upon the extraordinary movement in wool during the past two weeks, and the business com- paratively large, wile prices favor the seller. Imported goods have been sousht afier to some extent, yet there 16 bo great activity as yet and the demand has been con- fined matuly to a few assortments, Ali have realized fair prices. Silks have been in good demand at wholesale, and especially at retail, and full prices bave been universally ob- tained for them.

ALBANY, August 19, 1868, ‘Mr. Burlingame returned to Niagara Falls on Sun- day quite unexpectedly, and at seven o'clock last evening the Embassy took their farewell of the Falls. During the dayan elegant sleeping car had been secured for their exclusive use. In leaving the International Hotel several hundred persons had as- sembled to say good-by. For some minutes there was quite a lively handshaking and many regrets were expressed, particularly by the ladies, to see the Embassy depart. Nearly all the members carried with them souvenirs trom the ladies, Reaching the depot a large crowd had gathered also. The Chinese members of the Embassy at once entered the car and took seats at the windows, while Mr. Burlingame stood upon the platform to receive the courtesies of a number of friends who were anxious to see him up to the4ast moment. When the whistle of the locomotive sounded and the train moved off, Mr. Hollis white, one of the oldest and most promi- nent citizens of Niagara, proposed three cheers, which were given with a will by all present, It was quite evident from the remarks made by the different members of the Embassy that their time at Niagara was very pleasantly spent. Mr, Fung re- marked:—“I like to come to a place, but do not like to go away.” This seems to be the common feeling, in a general way, for no treat- ment could have been more hospitable than that the Hmbassy has received everywhere. It being night, and the Chinese not recognizing the propriety nor the luxury of late hours, retired early, and tie re- made of the night passed quietiy ‘aud without event. Upon reaching this city at seven o'clock this morn- ing Mr. Burlingame was met by Edward Liversuore, his brother-in-law. ‘The party then went to the Delavan House, ‘The Embassy will leave here this morning direct for Worcester, Mass., and thence to Boston. The Arrival at Springfield, Mass. SPRINGFIELD, August 19, 1363. The Chinese Embassy arrived here from Albany at two o’clock A. M. They were met here by sixteen Chinese attendants trom New York.
