NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1869—TRIPLE SHEET. y FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. TuunsparY, Jan. 7—6 P. M. ‘The money market ts working with comparative ease after the atringenoy of the past month, To- day the great volume of business was done at seven percent in currency and im coin. The threats of Jegal investigation have doubtless frightened a great many lenders from asking unlawful rates, but it is reported that as high as one thirty-second commis- sion was paid—underhandedly, of course. There is nothing to prevent the exaction of seven per cent in coin; at least such is the impression, aud hence for such transactions the real rate is between nine and ten per cent, Coin interest was paid between brokers on stock collaterals, while the currency’ figure was paid on governments and other prime securities, As an offset to the extreme of a commission on the one hand, it is said, on the other, that some balances could not be placed at seven per cent currency. The facts, both ways, show the easter feeling prevailing, The market was not uni- form throughout the day, however. ‘In the morn- ing and until two o’clock in the afternoon there was but a limited inquiry. Borrowers took it for gtanted that funds were plentiful, and postponed their engagements. Towards the close of banking hours the demand was quite lively, and during this period gold interest was paid. After half- past three o’clock money was again plentiful and was lending freely at seven per cent. The indl- . cations are that the stringency has entirely passed for the present, or until artificial causes or the re- ‘tura of those which created the recent tightness again disturb the tendency of the interest rate. here are vague rumors that the present inflation of the stock market will result in an attack by the “bears,” who will resort to the old stratagem of “docking up greenbacks.’’ It is hardly probable that money will return to the ease of last September, when call loans were made at four per cent. Forty or fifty millions of doilars have gone to the South and have been or will be absorbed there. The flow of currency in that direction at the present time ia still going on, but on a diminished scale. More will go in the spring in the shape of Northern capital, which, under the temptation of the high price of cotton, is seeking investment in that region. Schemes for transporting Northern wealth and labor to vhe South abound among our men of enterprise. Emigration has set in and will be a strong cur- rent in the spring. The revival of cotton culture is a fever just now with capitalists, ‘The total crop in 1860-1 was nearly 6,000,000 bales. ‘That for 1868-9 is estimated at 2,600,000. There is, therefore, a wide margin for the investment of Northern capital and the employment of Northern labor. The development of the cotton and other re- sources of the South and the grain crops of the West will in a few years require all the currency of the country. Congressional theorists on the subject of Fesumption should bear these facts in mind. While the period of stringency in our money market has ended, it is, therefore, no sign that money will mot be active at figures approaching the legal rate. The shipments of greenbacks from the West are quite abundant, but not enough to make up for what has gone to the Soutt® They will tend to reduce the rate of interest to six or seven per cent, but not Jower. No good business man will now complain of ‘these rates; a less rate would indicate redundant or ‘unemployed capital. At this time, when the coun- try should put forth every energy to recuperate from ‘the losses entailed by the war, it will be a good sign to see money healthily active, for the fact will be Dut the reflection of new enterprises in the develop- ment of our resources. Gold to-day was firmer aad active, for the several Teasons of the increase in the national debt, the ‘firmness of exchange—which 1s at the specie ship- ping point—and large purchases by private bank- era, probably to cover short sales. These very Feasons also prove the really weak undertone of the market; for tt required the strength of their combination to sustain the pre- mium at but a slight advance, The opening price ‘Was 13534, from which there was an exceptional ad- Vance to 13534.

Asa consequence few transactions have taken place. The country banks are largely represented among the inqutrers. The discounting rate ranges from eight to ten per cent for the choicest names. The government bond market opened with great animation and was very buoyant until high prices induced realization; '67’s touched 108%. At the afternoon board there was a reaction from the best figures, followed by a partial recovery on the street, where prices closed as follows, at half-past four :—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 1104 ; do. do., coupon, 11144 @ 1114; 5-20's, regis- tered, 107% a 10854; do., coupon, 1862, 11234 a 1124; dO. dO., 1864, 108% @ 109; do. do., 1865, 1093, a 109%; G0. do., new, 1866, 108 @ 10834; do. do., 1907, 108% a 1083<; ao. do., 1868, 108% 10834; 10-40's, registered, 108% a 104; do., coupon, 106% 100%. Southern State bonds were more active on account of the ease in money and @ sudden feeling that the prospects of the South are very encouraging. ‘frans- actions were more numerous than usual. Tennes- ees, Old, were quoted at 66 a 66; Tennessees, new, @ a 66%. North Carolinas improved, despite the delay in the interest, to the figures 643, a 65 for the Old and 6254 @ 62% for the new issues. Virginias, ex coupon, were quoted 63 a 64; Virginias, new, 56), 57; Georgia sixes, 7834 79; Georgia sevens, 89; a 90; Alabams fives, 61 a Alabama eights, 8414 a 95; South Carolinas, old, 69870; South Carolinas, new, 644 65, and aiissouri sixes, 8735 a 88. ‘The Lou- dsianas were very aclive at the close, with the quo- tations:—Old bonds, 60 @ 70%; levee sixes, 631; a 63%; levee eights, 60% a 713. ' Railway speculation was the feature of the stock Market. Prices were very active in response to the further easing of money. Erie came forth from its comparative obscurity and was quoted up to 40. On the subject of the proposed Western connections of this road the Cincinnat! Chronicle of Monday iast says:—"Wo are advised from Columbus that the Proposition made by the Erie Company to lease the line of the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Centrai Raliway, whicn has been agreed to by the Board of Directors of this Western company, is likely to meet with stubborn opposition from some of the stockholders, who are averse to having their interests transferred to the control of the Philistines, It is held that the interests of these lines are distinctively Western; that the natural Eastern allies are the Pennsylvania Central and Baitimore and Ohio, and not the Erte road, which crosses the matn trunk forty-seven miles west of the Eastern terminus—the capital of the State; and that to give the Erie company the control 14 to Place the stock held by citizens of Ohio and Indiana at the mercy of the New York gambiers and to leave the people along the line who have con- tributed of their means for its construction and development without adequate protection. The whole market is now in the hands of the cliques, who are openly projecting all sorts of extensions and expansion to the Missis- sippi river to meet and tap the Pacific Railway. They are profeasediy seeking the enhancement of the roads which they control, but their benevolence is singu- larly exercised at the very opportune moment of an aay money market and leads to the suspicion ¢hat road will not be completed for a long time to come, Railway investors buying at present figures. will orely discount the future. New York Central was eglected until the close, when, in the furry of very Duoyant market, it rose to 167%. SoutWern 1s the last slock.set down for 8 dividend, eoverding to the programme by the New York Central directors, It touched 91% at one | market Period of the day. Pittsburg, which went below 84 on the announcement of the result of the election for directors, went above 89 this afternoon, on the strength of rumors of a two per cent quarterly divi- dend and a fifteen per cent scrip dividend. Wabash was also advanced on account of an expected dividend. The Northwestern stocks were strong. Ohio and Mississippi! was neglected but firm. Of the miscellaneous list Pacific Mail was most active, touching 121. Canton ‘was quoted up to 51%.
