NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. TuEsDay, Sept. 29—6 P.M. ‘The gold market has been unsettled to-day, and ‘Me Auctuations were from 1414 to 141%, with the losing transactions prior to the adjournment of the Board at three o’clock at 141%, following which the latest quotation on the street was 1414 @ 141%, against 14134 at the opening. The leading feature of the gold speculation, however, was not the course @f the premium but the extreme scarcity of cash gold, or rather the excessively large borrowing de- mand for it from the bears, which caused as mauch as % per cent per diem to be paid for its ‘wee. The fluctuations in the borrowing rate were as Souows:—34, 5-32, 3-16, 8-32, 7-64, 1-32, 14, 6-16, %, My %, 34, 1-16 and 1-32 per cent. It was rumored that the Treasury was again a seller; but as the Assistant, ‘Treasurer declined to give the public any information on the subject it ts impossible for us to speak as to the fact. The extremely high rates paid for the loan of gold were attributed to the efforts of a combination to lock it up for the purpose of producing scarcity and so forcing the bears to cover their contracts, and Joans are known to have been made to a large amount on the pledge of gold certificates, the same to be held off the market like other collaterals. The volume of business was very large, and the grors clearings, representing the regular transactions of Monday, aggregated $132,473,000, the gold balances $8,878,132 and the currency balances $5,759,769. The steamer Cimbria took out $250,000 in specie. The exports from this port to foreign ports in the month of August were valued at $18,018,177 in currency, or, exclusive of $4,690,989 of specie, to $13,327,188. The tmports in the same month were valued at $23,960,721 in coin, exclusive of freight and charges, ‘The customs receipts in August at the port were $11,995,596, making a total of $76,684,265 since the beginning of the year against $81,483,422 for the corresponding period in 1867, and $92,405,187 in the same time in 1866. It was generally supposed before the opening of the board yesterday that the letter of Mr. Delmar, the Director of the Bureau of Statistics, published in the morning journals, and representing the Treasury to be in @ very precarious condition, would have the effect of putting up the price of gold, as according to his estimates the Treasury will have @ coin and currency balance of only twenty-eight millions at the end of the year, while at the end of the current fiscal year there will be a deficit of a hundred and fifty-four millions. It was, however, g00n looked upon as a campaign document, and its estimates after examination were found to be exag- gerated. Just as Mr. Atkinson’s exhibit was pro- nounced to be the radical view, Mr. Delmar’s state- ment was denounced as the copperhead manifesto, written for political effect; but it must be remem- bered that it came upon the gold market in the midst of a bear speculation when it was to the interest of the great majority of operators to ignore it, and there are none so blind as those who will not see, ‘The ‘Preasury 1s in a less satisfactory condition, un- doubtedly, than could be desired; for while the inter- nal revenue receipts are falling off, partly in conse- quence of the deadlock between Mr. McCulloch and Mr. Rollins, which gives encouragement to fraud, the expenditures of the government are in- creasing, owing to the appropriations mado by Congress last session. The customs re- ceipts continue large, however, and are at present considerably above the average. The embarrass- ments of the Treasury are nevertheless likely to thicken, and it is probable that of the two prophets, Atkinson and Delmar, the latter will prove to be the truest. The bears are still making capital out of the sale of Treasury gold last Wednesday and pre- dicting a steady supply from the same source; but Wis hard t> see why, when the Sub-Treasury ts re- ceiving for duties more than three millions anda half per week, Lght sales like the one in question should depress the premium. This sale Was made clandestinely through a broker instead of openly, altiiough an act of Congress, passed Just before the adjournment last summer, and which falled to become a law only because the Presi- dent omitted to sign it, expressly forbids the payment of commissions upon the sale of gold or bonds, thus making it the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to effect such sales without the intervention of a broker. Mr. McCulloch ought to have respected the sentiment of Congress and the country by adopting this course, instead of which he has fallen into the old rut of extravagance and favoritism in making these sales. The Treasury reserve of coin is so Jow and the disbursements in payment of interest are so heayy that he is notin a position to reduce this reserve matcrialiy without damage, and the more coin the government hoards the better for the public credit; but its currency balance is so small and the demands upon the government are so large that its probable relief can only be obtained by exchanging com for currency as its necessities may require. There has been increased activity in the money market and the rate for call loans was advanced to five and six per cent, while some exceptional trans- actaons were reported at seven. The demand for Joans to lock up gold had something to do with this, but it was mainly artificial, the bears on the Stock Exchange having availed themselves of the prepara- tions of the national banks for their quarterly state- ments (to be made on Monday next) and the unessy feeling at present prevailing to form a combination for the purpose of producing monetary stringency, and their efforts are being seconded by several of the banks which called in their loans to-day and ad- vanced their rate of interest simultaneously. This conspiracy means mischief on the Stock Exchange, but how much it wiil succeed in inflicting remains to be seen. Meanwhile it has unsettled confide in the railway share market by creating a vague dread of impending panic, and the street is so largely “long” of the speculative shures that It would take but little to precipitate a heavy decline, The pro- ceeding is of course very discreditabie to ail con- cerned, including such bank officers as are secretly aiding it; but this does not diminish the tmineliare danger to weak holders of stocks. A private bank- ing hoase thus refers t0 the change in We warket in ite circular issued this evening:— The money market has suddenly become extremely active, and towaris the close of bank hours ii was with difficulty tha) accounis were made up even at weven per cent. ‘The plans of the cliqne engaged im Jocking up fund have developed more fully, und the great scarcity of gold for delivery is due to the f that large amounts of coin ceriificates have been withdrawn from tie market and substituted as col- lateral upo2 loans in lieu of railway stocks which have hitherto been hypotnecated agatnst the same, and which are not released aud nouded for delivery Against sellers’ options aud borrowed stock, the pur: pose being to throw a@ vast additional! amount of shares upon the market to be carried simullaneousiy with the artificial scarcity of money at which the plan is aiming. @ At the commencoment of business the raliway share market was somewhat unsettled, and at tis early session of the open board prices were slightly lower than at the close yesterday, while the specu- Jative feeling was tame, and there was more dispo- sition shown to sell than to buy. At the first regular board prices continued to deciiue, and on te call New York Central closed 17, lower than at the same tame yesterday, Erio 24%, Reading %, Cleveland and Pittsburg 1, Rock Island %, Northwestern preferred 1%, Ohio and Mississippi %, Pacific Mail 1%, Ten- neasee s1Xe8, €X Coupon, )4, and new issue 4, while Fort Wayne was % higher. Government securities were steady at a fraction above the closing prices of last evening. There was ho material change in prices at the one o’clock open board, and at the sec- ond regular board the market was dull, with adroop- ing tendency. New York Central closed 44 lower on the call than at the frst regular board, Brie \%, Tennessee sixes, ex coupon, X, new issue 5s, and North Oaroilna sixes, new issue, 4%, while Cleveland and Pittsburg was 34 higher, and Fort Wayne 34. Government securities were heavy at a Gecline of 4 @ Jy per cent from the opening prices, At the open board at half-past three the market was weak and Erie declined to 47% and New York Central to 127%, Subsequently a very uneasy fecling prevailed, and there was ®ome pressure to realize, especially on New York Central, in consequence of the consideration of the Jong-talked-of scrip dividend having been indefi- mitely postponed, if not altogether abandoned by the company. Erie was also pressed for sale ander appretensiona that @ further break in the stock is imminent, based in part upon the reduced earnings of the road, those for the first nineteen days of the present month having been only $1,007,800, against $1,127,000 for the corresponding period Isat Year, the decrease being $119,200; and it is noticeable that the earnings of ai she railways are decressing, | four, although not to the same extent, At the close at six o'clock the market was weak at the following quotations, and apprehensions were very generally felt that the bear combination at work to Produce monetary stringency would succeed in accomplishing their object better than was at first supposed:—Pacific Mail, 107% a 108%; New York Central, 126%; Erie, 46%; Hudson River, 138 @ 139; Reading, 9354 893%; Michigan Southern, 83 a 8334: Cieveland and Pittsburg, 84% @ 85; Cleveland and Toledo, 101 @ 10134; Rock Island, 101% a 1013; North- western, 874 88724; do. preferred, 8734 # 8734; Fort Wayne, 110% a 111, ‘There was a very bearish feeling in the market for government securities all day, and quotations expe- rienced a further decline of % @ 3 per cent, although there was an enlarged inquiry for bonds for invest- ment, the low prices having stimulated the demand from this source, At the close, soon after four ovolock, the foliowing quotations were current:— 6's, 1881, 113 a 113%; coupon 6's, 1881, 113} @ 114; 5-20's, registered, 108%{ @ 100; 5-20’s, con- Pon, 1862, 112% @ 113; do., 1864, 10934 a 109%; do., 1865, 109% 0 110; do., 1865, new, 108 a 108%;"do., 1867, new, 108 @ 108%; 10-40’, 1868, 108%¢ a 10834; 10-40’, coupon, 10414 a 1043. The quarterly statements of the national banks will be made up nominally on Monday, the 5th of October, but virtually on Saturday, the 34, as the statements are designed to show the con- dition of the banks before the commencement of business on the first Monday in October. The time for these returns to be made is now so near that it 18 hardly likely any monetary disturbance will be occasioned thereby, the banks throughout the coun- try being already prepared for this periodical ordeal; but this furnishes no argument in sup- port of the system of quarterly reports, for it enables banks not really in a sound condition to appear so four times a year by cooking their accounts and borrowing money, if necessary, w make up deficiencies. These statements should be made weekly to the Comptroller of the Currency and compiled and published quarterly for the infor- mation of the public.
