8 YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1868—TRIPLE SHEET. discreet “Ane COMMERCIAL. Wepyxspay, Oct. 21—6 P. M. ‘The gold market was steady during the greater pert of the day, and upto the adjournment of the board at three o'clock the fluctuations were from 13634 to 136%, with the closing transactions at 1363;, against 136% at the opening. Subsequently, how- ever, there was a strong pressure to sell, and a de- eline to 136 was the result, the latest quotation on the street belug 105% @ 196. The borrow- ‘mg demand for coin was supplied at reduced rates—namely, 2-64, 1-16, 1-32 and 1-64 per cent per diem and two per cent per annum in favor of the Dender of the coln—but afterwards transactions were reported ‘fat’ and at 2a7 per cent per annum for earrying. The gross clearings amounted to $92,511,000, the gold balances to $1,390,555 and the currency balances to $2,380,278, The Sub-Treasury disbursed $5,353 in coin {2 payment of interest on the public debt, and sold $300,000 in gold, the bids for which aggregated $1,880,000 at prices ranging from 156 26-100 to 136 64-100, The bearish cle- ment in the Gold Room has gained strength with Sue ehange in the rates for coin loans; bat apart from speculative influences there ia no cause for a further POM sb yj a 138” There was an abatement of the panicdike feeling ‘of last evening on vhe Stock Exchange xt the open- ing, and as the day wore away increased confidence Was developed, while prices advaneed not- Withstanding the extreme monetary stringency, Witch caused loans to be made largely at seven per cent in goid and in many instances at seven per cent to currer with a commission of an etghth per cent added. The Milwaukee and St, Paul stocks re- covered four per cent from the lowest point touched and ihe Northwestern about three, the most marked iniprovemeut being in hese, Rock Island was very firm and sold up to 10644, and Krie sailed to decline below 45%, following which itadvanced to 47. Among the miseeilancous shares Paciiic Mail was unyielding but dali, and Mariposa preferred at notime touched @ lower point than 22. Much indignation was expressed against the parties engaged in making the money market artificially stringent, and a gen- rai wish was expressed that the banks would act upon the recommendation that they should. em- ploy a portion of their legal reserve in meeting the Prevent exceptional pressure and so defeat the schemes of the unscrupulous bear combination now at work to embarrass borrowers and cre-- ate panic. That some bank officers ‘are co- operaung with this clique there is good reason to believe; but it does not follow that Decause a bank is largely debtor or creditor at the Clearing Honse its oficers are implicated in the movement, as the firms depositing with them have perfect liberty to withdraw their deposits or to get checks certified against them without using the same, and the bank 18 helpless to prevent this; but where bank officers loan money on greenbacks or on certified checks they connive with the conspirators and abuse the trust confided to them so shamefully that they are unfit for their position. We ae glad to be able to say, however, Mat the instances of such complicity in echemes of this kind are very. exceptional; Wut weat the same time regret to say that bank Officers do not display sufficient boldness in meeting the demands of the time. They could easily defeat the plans of this and all similar combinations by encroaching say to the extent of ten millions in the aggregate upon their legal reserve, and the money Would immediately return to them, Government securities opened weak, but after- ‘Wards advanced a half per cent and remained trm q@uring the greater part of the afternoon at tbe im- provement. After half-past four, however, the beurs began to hammer them by offering the market down, ‘bur it is evident that a strong upward reaction will succeed the present depression, United States stocks Demg cheaper than any others in the country, while ‘the public credit 1s stronger than it has been at any Ume “‘tince the termination of the war, and tne investment demand is steadily increasing. ‘The dry foods auction sales were rather thinly attended to- uy, owing to the iclemency of the weather, but the bidding was moderately brisk, aud while some Hes of fabrics were passed others were duplicated, and air prices were realized. With respect to the general aspect of affairs in Wall street, particularly with regard to the rallway @hare Laarket, it is almost useless to say that it is by Bo Means settled as yet, and # further break in some f the highly inflated stocks would not be surprising. At the commencement of business the stock mar- ket was unsettled at the decline of last evening, and i the carly session of the open board Ene sold at 4545, Northwestern 89, do. preferred 8034 a 90, Fort Wayne 112%, Pacific Mail 126 and Mariposa preferred 2.

The Commercial Convention assembled at nine o’elock this morniug, and during the seasion the pro- ceedings were of unusual interest. $105,000 was sub- scribed last evening, and to-day $18,700 more was added to this amount, making in all $123,000 towards establishing direct trade with Europe by ocean steamers, The amount required by the charter as capital 1s $1,000,000; but it provides that as soon as $20,000 are sulscribed the company can commence operations. So it is now a fact that the International Commereial Company, of Norfolk city, is in existence, and soon to begin its career, for Weal or for woe, in competi- Uon with the great navigation companies of New York, Baltimore and other cities. Considering, how- ever, the favorable auspices under which this new company starts there is every reason to suppose it will be a complete and thorough success. Two more adroit and able men than General,William Ma- hone and Colonel William Lamb in the arts and in- trigues of commercial affairs can scarcely be found. ‘The former since the close of the war hag become a railroad prince, and has effected the consolidation of three roads under his management, whiie the other has devoted himself entireiy to the inaugura- tion of direct trade by steam with Europe, and is now about to realize his greatest hopes. There are few cities that can compare with Norfolk as far as com- mercial advantages are concerned. Ita avenues of trade are unsurpassed in situation, climate and tor the purposes of navigation. Witn the finest harbo on the Continent but an hour # sail from the ocean, and which affords the most ainple shelter to vessels; with three rivers emptying <hemselves into this har- bor; with the Albemarle and Chesa} Canal, which connects Norfolk with the sounds and wivers’ of North Carolina; with the Dismal Swamp Canal, which taps the entire fertile region of Eastern North Carolina; with the great line of railroads now con- solidated to Tennessee and proposed to be extended to Kentucky and Ohio, and vide @ line (the Seaboard and Roanoke Railt ) reaching the central portion of North Carolina by way of Weldon, Norfolk is lte- rally a natural commercial sea port. Beyond aft doubt the determined effort now being made will be attended with success, and soon & ‘vis the rival of Kaltimore and New York will loom into the commer- cial horizon. From the annual of the Mer- chants’ and Mechanics’ Exchange this city I fine it stated (hat the harbor is capacioul enough to a:- mit the entire commercial marine of the pantry. and it is accessible at all seasons. It also capable of enormous expansion, and @ tddersio estimate gives an available water front for whar! . not less than thirty miles in extent, reckoning ¥ lines of the outer and inner basins tn the computa. tion. As compared with other harbors, the depth of water in Norfolk is the greatcst,as the fullowing table will show:—.« Feet, Feet. Norfolk.. 28 Baltimore. Philadelphia. Charleston, Boston... Mobile... Savanwat. 7 Peasacola, New Orieans 4 Wilmington, New York... f These avantages ‘and ie central position of Nor- folk on the Atiantic coast, as well as ite pecuharly mild climate, the harbor Reyer Dela, obstructed by ice or the communications by snow, render Norfolk attractive in the extreme as @ great mercantile ma- rine their port. Theo efforts of the citizens, here ‘to entertain visitors moped ae over estimated, and Respite th 4 poverty of @ community once aa Ww as other, they ane not only heartily weleomed the delegates to the Convention, but have given then good cheer and ample amusement. This morning Geot W. Bolling, president, called the Convention to order at nine o’clock, when the ad- ditional subscriptions above named were announced, oir, La Rue, of Kentucky, offered the following gg ry which was adopted:— , That the sense of the Convention is thatthe Vir. * entucky ayaa ing the Lebanon branch Mr. Ouiliee, president of the Petersburg and Wel- don Railroad, favored the resolution and Was willing to extend to Kentucky a welcome and heiping hand in all Lead that ‘would accrue to the beneflt of that A resolution, offered. by Judge W.

Here was the bes the world, and yet Norfolk had only x population of ‘scarcely thirty thousand, Baltimore hia were but recently # towns and now they count on it opulation by the hundred th rele ‘ork, which at one time was the inferior Norfolk, has now @ population of a million. Shall we allow Norfolk to continue the village she is, or shati we make a city ofher? Then build tnis and con- nect it with the Bristol and Cum! p Road, and such a trade would soon come over tt that a pant | peed oe eee to it, Lina was Chicago to look at iu years ago, ago a wiider- ea, and here is the ancient oh of Norfolk, with the finest back country tributary her, the largest and finest harbor and with all other natural advan- tages, a mere market for fish, oysters, and the pro- ducts of truck farms, The hour now bel ten o'clock A.
