Gold underwent a sudden change after one o'clock. ‘At opened weak at 13457, declined to 13444 and was slu; an wegn these figures during the whole of the forenoon, The recovery in bonds in London and the promise of the gold interest on the five-twenties before January i kept the market inactive. At the hour mentioned above transactions became more @nimated under the combined influences of a more easy money market, the story of the 20,000,000 rels- sue and expected heavy gold shipments this week. The steamer Main took out about $300,000 in specie to-day. The prico rose to 134% and to 135 at three o'clock, after which operations were continued on the street, sales belng made at 13514, with 135% asked. The borrowing rate followed the course of the money market, as high as 11 per cent and 1-82 being patd for carryimg durmg the pinch In the forenoon. These rates settled to 6 and 8 per cent Jeter in the day. The gross clearings were $54,007,000, the gold balances $1,994,978, und the currency balances $2,714,014. Foreign exchange was less firm in view of the ex- pected shipments of specie, and there was a conces- elon of a quarter to three-eighths from the figures of @uogday last. Prime pankers’ a at 10034 to 109%, but these figures are reportod. The market has been ‘weakened also by the making of more cotton bitls in connection with the fresh lots of the staple which, as shown by the remittances southward, have re- cently come to the Gulf and Atlantic ports. ‘The government market wasbarely steady at the opening, but under the large investment demand from capitalists and corporations, as well as in sym- pathy with the veneral buoyancy of ever}thing in Wall street during the afiernoon, prices closed an @verage of nearly threc-eighths better than at the lose of the previous day. The quotations at four @’clock were as follows :—United States sixes, 1881, Tegistered, 1081; a 109; do. do., coupon, 1143; a 11434; 40. 5-20’, registered, 105 a 10534; do., coupon, 1862, 210% @ 11034; do, do., 1864, 10634 a 1065;; do. do., 1865, 10734 810734; do. do., new, 1865, 11034 a 11034; Go. do., 1967, 11034 a 11034; do do., 1868, 11034 a 11034; do., 10-40's, registered, 102 a 1023z; do. do., coupon, 4053 810534. Currency bonds, 99 a 99%. The stock market was influenced by the ease in money to such an extent that in the course of the day New York Central rose to 153, Pacific Mail to 121 end Rock Island to 115. A report was in circulation that the Erie clique had agreed to withdraw their @uits against the Central clique on condition that the latter would declare the scrip dividend decided pon last Saturday night, the object of the Erie party being the appreciation of some 49,000 shares of New York Central stock which they then had in their possession. Another report says that the terms of settlement were being extended to-day so as to include all the various Erie suits, the object ‘being an offensive and defensive alliance between the two great cliques for the purpose of having the ure sanction the conversion of the Central be Tito gtock. The public will be the gainer by such informaiion as +#@ above, and will be mS ee careful not to fail into an} of ihe Stock gambling traps which the two great combinations are prepar- Ang in order to get rid of the heavy ioad of stock ae has come into their possession and upon Witch they place such fabulous values. ‘The facts on call loans buyers were not inclined to deal in at elxt, days was frettattions below ‘with reference to Erie are so wei? known that the Btock is called at board after board without a sale, ‘The total transactions in New York Cs, \tral ab the three boards to-day did not exceed fi1/een sales, showing the pubilc distrust of this stock, Dy!d as it 1s now by @ corfl nation Who have it in their ower ¢o ruin any one who ignorantly speculates init) AB an investment it is questionable if it will prove » last year were about three and a half Millions. The ability to pay a dividend of apy amount in future is very doubtful, especially asthe prospect of obtaining permission #0 advance the rate of fare is hopeiessly lost, Erie and New York Central are both in the same situa- ion just now, and tie reconciliation of their parti- @ans will not help the public. A refusal to enter Anto any speculation in either while they are con- by the great stock gamblers who have de- moralized Wall street would teach the cliques that '¢he public are growing wiser and therefore less Mable to be made the victims of their schemes. The great bulk of Erieand New York Central stock is @ow held by these cliques, and no harm can result drom leaving them to keep it for a few days or a few weeks. ‘The general stock market opened weak. A steady Amprovement took place as the day progressed, and a ewimming market was the resuit in the Long Room after the boards.

NATIONAL FiNANCES. from General Spinner. ‘The foliowing letter has been written by General Splinter, Treasurer of the United States, to David Wiidér, for many years Treasurer of the State of Massachusetts, concerning the different views which have been presented on the “resumption of specie payment’":— Trrasvry or THE UNtreD eeet WASHINGTON, Ti 1, 1868. Drain Str—Your very kind and suggestive jetter of the 16th instant has been received, If 1 have done anyiuug that presented your views in a faise light aud thus misrepresented them I regret exccedingly, and Lassure you that nothing Was further from my intention. All your snggestions in the former and tn the presnit communication are well worthy of sorious conskieration, and my desire is—and has been that they shouid be fairly presented and duly weighed before the final action of Congress on and the settlement of the great question of the day. We woth have the same object in view. We differ only us to the way by which it Is to be reached, So we ¢an each goon pointing the way that eacu thinks the best, and if tue safe haven of permanent reauinption of specie payments shall be reached by the way indicated by you I'shall be better mutiaded with that result than if it shall be found thas 1) can be accomplished only by the longer and more (e road that J think it necessary to 9 over In that we may reach more surely the desired piace of commercial and national security and prospert\y. You now say that you have no fear in case of re- sumption that speote would be calied for, as exper'- ence here for many years has sown that it is not that ba} need #0 2 founded upon and re; transactions in property which is at ail times readily convertible. “Paper measured by it,” that ts, paper measured by specie, Well, that all sounds ver ; bat it is not so clear how commercial paper ts to bo measured by specie, that is only Imagination and Which really does not exist. Inaoy country not in a state Of BUsUEUBION IL is YpoCiKe!y the ROLUN BLUORE : 7 of specie that such country that consti. tates the meee ot the value or ail commercial salable commodities of that country a3 well. Coin is to commerce what the balance wheel! is to @ watch or the “governor” to a steam engine—it is @ check and a reguiator. If it is bond pe lee iy measure ne, all commodities it cer- ju their price relative value oer by’ Me own standard. ateais engine without a “governor,” if would run on unchecked from fast to. far and faaver still, till at length, by the force of centrimgal «Power, its wheels would burst and the fragments ‘Would fy off in is. A system of national and commercial credits that has not this gold gov- ernor may in times of small ‘and with a be- lief that such a governor does exist move on for a time in seeming security. But the unerring and in- exorable laws of commercial adjustment cannot be long set at naught, and sooner or later the sure pun- ishinent for their violation will overwhelm commu. nities, when, unfortunately, the innocent and the guilty will suffer alike. It is to guard againat such commercial disruptions and unly, “burst ups’? that the gold check is indispensably necessary. You go on to say that you “believe that the con- Version of all currency obligations, public and pri- vate, into those payable in specie at a fair valuation (say seventy-five cents on the dollar) would at once put ‘Us on safe footing and liberate two hundred millions of useless gold now held by those who are obliged unwillingly Lo use it in paying duties and interest on the public debt.” You state it a8 your opinton that ‘this commutation would not impair the validity of contracts as we vid by suspension, because it would tg power they claim, though tho Lumber of dollars ¢ by pt would be less. MN cae erat Now, if it is right to force by alaw of Congress such @ commutation scheme to Pay seventy-five per cent tn gold ior the par of the promises of the gov- ernment, so that private deblors may thus pay thelr creditors, then it would seem to be equaliy right for the government itself to pay its debts due its credit- org in the same way. Such a compromise would, at a blow, strike out one quarter of the entire indebtedness of the coun- try. If the government should avail themselves of such an expedient the national debt would be re- duced more than $600,000,000, Would the ‘world think this honest? The proposition that you make to apply in the cases of private or individual debts is substantially ana practically the same as that pro- pews by Genera! Butler for the payment of the pub- ic debt, Yours has the advantage of his in this:—It fixes the value of the government's promises to pay at seventy-five cents on the dollar, while his, as 1 understand it, would leave them as an uncertain amount that would probably in a short time carry them down toa very low figure. If this 1s not ré- Pudiation, to the extent of at least one quarter of the amount of ail our debts, 1t comes so near to It that it would puzzle the ingenuity of a sharp lawyer to find a difference, At best it is the offer of an in- Solvent and dishonest debtor to compromise with his creditor and to compound his debt due him on a basis different from that on which it was contracted, Your brave old Commonwealth to-day presents through two of her gifted sons, one in the Senate and the other in the House of Representatives in the United States, the two extremes of our financial problem. You and I are not so wide apart as they. ‘the one is ardent and earnest in urging that a® almost immediate resumption of specie payments is. necessary to the country’s salvation. The other feels equally sure that it would be better for public and private interests that specie payments should be in- definitely postponed. ie one comes near to the be- ef that-the way to resumption is to resume.’? It would not bring a drowned man to life to reneat ever so often that “the way to resuscitation is to resuscitate.” Neither will the other cry avail. Patient application of the proper means is neces-;. sary in either case. The other extreme, the putting off the time for effort indefinitely, is. equally dangerous; for unless the subject is treated in time it may be eternally too late. 1 am strongly inclined in favor of the measure proposed * by Governor Morton, in the Senate. { would, how- ever, prefer to see his bill amended in various par- ticulars. The, two leading ones —First, the banks should not be permitted to remain in a state of suspension for aday, much less for six months, as he proposes, after resumption by the Treasury of the United States; and, second, the dividends on the government stocks belonging to the banks, but held in trust by the Treasurer as security for the re- demption of thelr circulating notes, shouid be re- tained by the Treasurer and not be paid over to the banks, to be held by thom until the day of re- sumption; and the retention of these dividends by the Treasurer should commence a year earlier than proposed by the bill. If tt is yight to give the banks #ix months after tho government shall have resumed, at the end of which they shall resume, then it would seem equally right that individual debtors to the banks should have another six months after resumption by the banks before they shall be required to make paymeats in coin or its equivalent. Resumption, to be successful, must be simultaneous. The three estates—the people, the banks and the government—must stand together or foe ht fail and fail together. The banks will not able to stand without the assist- ance of the government, and the government, beu the endorser of the notes of the banks to the amoun' of $300,000,000, would probably fail if the banks should fail, and the people, unfortunately for them- ane; could but follow in the wako of the other wo. * A simultaneous reaumption wonla not be unapt! represented by a tripod or a three-sided pyramid, each side leaning against and at the same time pup- porting the other two sides. If the dividends are retained but for one and a half ears, as proposed by the bill, they would amount to ut aine per cent. To commence the retention a year earlicr would give them fifteeh per in gold on the day of the resumption. This eral ly would seem to be litle enough, and as this gold would form & part of the bank’s reserve, as required by law, it would be no new hardship nor unreasonabie de- mand. If the dividends are paid over to the banks they wi) be apt, if they have any reason, to reason thus:—“Gold is now at a premium of thirty-fve per cent, As the day of resumption draws near and nearer the premium will constantly become less and lesa. ‘Therefore it will be weil for us to seil our gold now whea the premium {3 high, and buy tt back again by and by, when the premium wiil be low.” Wiil not this temptation be too great for the divided consciences of some of these sonlless corpo- rations to resist? The danger would be that when the day of resumption drew near many of these banks would be in the market buying gold, and in consequence of this urgent demand the price, instead of being at par, might command such a premium as to prove desired resumption little less than a fizzle and a failore, if the qold is retained in the Treasury, to be deliv- ered to the banks a few days before the time fixed upon for resumption, this danger would be avoided. ‘The interest of the government is simply the inter- est of the people. The banks can have no antago- nistic interest, for commercial misfortunes to their customers would be hazardous if not fatal to them, In a word, your plan contemplates the striking down instantly, at one blow, the nominal value of the United States legal tender notes to an arbitrary yaiue of only three-fourths of Its face value, Governor Morton’s bill, on the contrary, alms to appreciate the government note, that now stands at about seventy-five cents, as compared with the goid dollar; by degrees, from day to day, running for two and a half years, making the appreciation about one per cent every twenty-six days, until on the day of resumption tue greenback dollar note shall have made itself the equal in commercial value of the gold dollar. ‘The one plan would tear down and is forced and violent, and would cause jar, confusion and mis- chief, not only in monetary, but in all business affairs. The other proposes to build up and foster the appreciation of the greenback to the par value of on by a process so gradual, gentle, steady and sincoth that the change would scarcely be percept- ible by the debtor or creditor, and both alike would be able to make their calculations and business arrangements from time to time, during the process of appreciation, with such accuracy and certainty that no serious harm could come to either class. No one out of Congresa, whether of the public Press or otherwise, should insist upon having his reconceived opinions adopted in all particulars, Frienaly, fair and caim discussion can do no posst- ble harm, and may do much good. The attrition of mind against mind will sepa | work out the pro- biem in a satisfactory manner. Few great achieve- menta are the product of asingle mind. Ail who have the interest of the country at heart should be willing to give and take, and so this question will pro! settled, not the very best way that it bly might be, but so as to be the average best judgment of the people. When so settled all interests must stand together, supporting and strengthening each the others, each and all, after making sacrifices for full preparation for the earliest safe day for resumption, must then make a long pull, a strong pull and*a pull altogether for the desired good, and the happy consummation il be certainly and perwanentiy attained.
