FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Wepnuspay, Jan. 6—6 P, M. ‘The bill of Senator Wilsop, introduced in Congress yesterday, proposes important amendments to the National Bank act. Should the provision to allow the Comptroller of the Currency at any time to “call on any bank association for a statement of its affairs on any past day to bo by him specified” become a Jaw, it would be of salutary benefit to the money market, in preventing the violent fluctuations in the Tate of interest at the end of each. three months under the present system of calling for the exhibit. ‘The section which prohibits bank officers from cer- tifying as good any check, draft or note, or to issue certificates of deposit dr other evidence of debt, unless at the time of such certificate or issue the whole amount g0 certified is in the actual keeping of said bank and payable on demand, is aimed at the present system of conducting business in Wall street, where the banks frequently certify to the ex- tent of millions of dollars for private individuals whose daily balances are not more than a few thou- sands. Its object is a perfectly proper one, but the result would be to throw the business of brokers into the hands of a few capitalists capable of main- taining a bank account equal to the volume of busl- ness dally transacied. It would clog the wheels of banking operations and injure the many at the expense of the few. The evil is one for which there seems to. be no.remedy. It is doubtiess the‘cause of a great deal of speculatfon and inflation, but the change pro- posed would be a most serious obstacle to legitimate ‘business. ‘ In case of the failure of stock houses to make good their daily accounts, losses to the banks, if not suspension, would result. But it should be borne in mind that the injury thas inflicted would fall upon the stockholders, and not upon the note- holders. The latter are secured by the deposits of bonds at Washington, If, therefore, the stockhold- ers elect officials who conduct business in a way to invite disaster they can only blame themselves should bankruptcy. result from the prevailing system of certifying brokers’ checks. From the public debt statement, published else- where, {¢ appears that vhe total debt for the year ending December 331, 1863, increased $32,581,551. The debt bearing coin interest increased $217,133,259, and the currency debt decreased $258,628,230, The in- crease of the debt for the month of December was $1,675,357. The total debt om the 1st inst, was $2,640, 707,201. The money market was easier to-day and loans were freely made at seven per cent currency on prime collaterals. The threats of legal prose- cution have frightened a great many lend- ers from asking more than the lawiul rate, but @ great dcal of business, if not the Dulk of it, was done at seven percent in gold. Ex- ceptional loans were also made ata sixteenth com- mission. The eifect was quite visible in the stock market, where a strong feeling prevailed throughout, with s buoyant tone after banking hours, when the relaxation in money was greatest. . Gold was very dull between the figures 134% and 1353. The opening price was 135, The carrying Tate was 1-16 to 3-64 for most transactions, but ex- ceptionally it went to 6-64. The gross clearings Were $68,837,000, the gold balances $2,702,048 and the currency balances $3,853,863, The steamer Rus- Sia took ont $60,000 in specie. The government market opened strong and closed at an advance of % for the 81's, 5 for 62's, 3 for 64's, % for 66's, 34 for 67°s and { for 68's, as com- -pared with the closing prices of Tuesday. This ac- tivity 1s attributed to the return of money which, in anticipation of the fail in the rate of interest in the general interest, is seeking the six per cent gold interest to be earned on government bonds. The following were the closing prices on the street at five o'clock this evening:—United States sixes, 1881, Tegistered, 1095¢ a 109%; do., coupon, 11114 a 11134; 6-20's, registered, 107 a 10744; do., coupon, 1862, 111% @ 112; do., 1864, 10534 a 10834; do., 1865, 108% & 108%; do., new, 1865, 107% a 107%; do., 1867, 107% @ 107%; do., 1868, 108% a 10834; 10-40's, registered, 103% @ 103%; do., coupon, 106% @ 106)4; currency bonds, 99% a 9934. In the stock market transactions were limitea, but prices were active, in sympathy with the easier feel- ing in money, partigularly toward the ciose. New York Central was heavy and moved less frequently. There is @ disposition to sell rather than buy it. Hence it was quite isolated in the operations of the day and remained steady when other shares were ascensive. The heavy rates paid by holders for car- rying it make it necessary to sell out at a good ad- vance, and buyers are not prepared to concede it. As high as one-eighth of one per cent per day—equal to forty-five per cent per annam—in addition to the usual rate of interest has been paid for periods embraced within the past three weeks. rise on an easy money market has been than paid for, in the estimation of some, hence the stock remains heavy, while its neighbors respond to the first effects of the re- laxation in the rate of interest. Central opened at 166, sold up to 157)4, but weakened in the after- bby “moon to 155% on receipt of the news from Albany that the Senate Railroad Committee bad been di- rected to investigate the facts of the scrip dividend. Later in the day there was @ reaction from this last figure and the price rose to 1564 @ 156%. Fort ‘Wayne, under @ steady demand, predicated upon an expected crip divideud tike that of New York Cen- tral, afvanced to 11844 at one time. Michigan South- ern was also active, in anticipation of @ dividend. Pittsburg went up to 85}, on account of the annual election of directors, but declined to 83% a8 soon as it was known that a board of directors friendly tothe Erie interest had been chosen. The quotations of the last open board were as follows:—Wells, Fargo & Co,’s Express, 23% @ 23%; Adams Ex- press, 48 8 48%; United States Express, 40a 44; Mer- chants’ Union Express, 14 a 15; Quicksilver, 2254 bid; Canton, 50% a 61; Mariposa, 53 bid; do., preferred, 1934 8 2034; Pacific Mall, 119% a 119%; Western Union Telegraph, 34% @ 3444; New York Central, 155% a 156; Erte, 385; @ 38%; Hudson River, 134; Harlem, 122 @ 125; Reading, 9434 @ 9454; Chicago and Aiton, 148 8 148%; do, preferred, 148% & 149; Bankers and Brokers’, 97 9 99; Alton and Terre Haute, 35 a 39; do., preferred, 6134 bid; Wabash, 60% a 61; Mil- ‘waukee and St. Paul, 7014 @ 7014; do., preferrea, 8055 @ 90; Fort Wayne, 117% @ 1173; Ohio and Missis- sippi, 33% @ 33%; Michigan Southern, 895; a 80%; Pittsburg, 84% a 8424; Toledo, 100% @ 10144; Kock jorthwestern, 8244 a 823; do., 6; Boston, Hartford _—— 20 A mare buoyant feeling prevailed on the street after the boards, prices closing st a quarter to six o'clock P.

The state bonds were steady, but dnl. North Carolinas improved faintly on a@ report that the in- terest would be paid the 10th of this month. Prices closed as follows:—North Carolinas, ex coupon, 6334 264%; do, new, 620 62)4; Tennesseos, new, 664% a 6654; Virginias, ex coupon, 63 a 54; do., new, 66% a 67%; Louisianas, old, 68 0 69; do., levee, 62 9 62)4; Georgia sixes, 73) a 79; do. sevens, 89 a 90, On the subject of the interest due upon the North Carolina bonds the Wilmington Journal says:—"“We cannot say we Were surprised at the announcement “onthe ist of January by a telegram from New York that there was a decline tn North Carolina bonds, ‘there being no money here to pay the interest.’ We would have been much surprised at any other Announcement. From the day upon which the Legis- lature refused to consider even the project of mort- gaging the stocks owned by the State to enable the Treasurer to borrow money to meet the January in- torest we folt well assured that it would not be paid when due, We even doubt if there has been an honest attompt to borrow the money, It is not for tho interest of the ‘ring’ which controls matters at the State capital to have had this money on the lst of January, and when they have the manipulation pf the whole thing it will not be borrowed until they Wish it.” Foreign exchange was firm on the basis of 100% a 10934 for bankers’ and 100), & 109% for prime, A San Francisco circular has the following with reference to mining atocks In that clty:—rhe dispost- Mon to invest ia becoming quite strong, aud as the money market 1s now easy operators in mining ftocks have becomo quite namerons.

Indeed, there ts an im- with the old year, though it is not improbable that other failures will occur next month should the dim- culties incident to a tight money market be extended te that time.
