en 4 FINA’ yclAL_ AND COMMERCIAL. Sunpay, March 14, 1809. Daring the eartier portion of the week which has Just closed gold was very fitful over the news from ‘Washington with reference to the Cabinet selection for Secretary of the Treasury. 1t was not until Tuesday or Wednesday that the inability of Mr. Stewart to accept the portfolio was made fully dea- Bite, and meantime gold underwent a reaction from the low figure to which it descended when the ap- potptment of that gentleman was first announced. ‘The rise was as much a8 two percent when it be- came apparent that some other than Mr, Stewart should oceupy the position. The effect of the choice of Mr. Boutwell was depressing upon the pre- mium, but not to the extent that Mr. Stewarl’s mame produced. Other influences came in to check the fall, which would doubtleas have been as great, since Mr. Boutwell is known to be thoroughly in accord with the President upon the question of the national credit. His protection tdeas, too, are of @ character to create a tendency to a lower premium, and it ia fair to presume that he will act in harmony with Congress and the Prest- dent in all steps which contemplate maintaining the Fevenues of the government up to a point fully sum- eient to meet not only its regolar outlays, but lay aside regular contributions to the jund for gradually paying off the national debt. The other influences referred to originated in the foreign market for our bonds, which declined from the previous hight prices through a misunderstanding of the tenor and im- Portance of the dificuldes attending the forma- tion of the new Cabinet, In foreign Bonn tries a delay in the organizanon of a mew government i a depressing tnfuence upon the public funds. A change in ‘the Ministry of England, for instance, ts one of those serious events which we are at a loss to comprehend with our simpler ideas of government. The delay, ‘therefore, which ensued in the organization of the administrative bureau at Washington was viewed im a very unfavorable light abroad, and the enthusi- asm manifested for our securities was temporarily checked, With this must be cousidered the damag- img esiect produced by the failure of the Hooper and Schenck bills at the outgoing of the former adminis- tration. ‘The tatter, known as the Public Credit bili, Was more partioulariy the cause of the sudden ad- vance in Londen, as it gave a legal promulgation of what was only implied in the bonds. People differ as to the real effect of the bill after ail, and some deem ‘that it amounts to nothing, owing to one of its provi- sions, which virtually declares that the debt shall not be liquidated in gold until the greenbacks are at par in coin; but despite this fact there is a color of good faith in the measure, which had ite effect abroad. For these reasons a decline ensued in the foreign market, the effect of which was to stop the exportation of bonds and induce reshipments, Goid, under this state of things, became firmes, and remained strong in the’ vicinity of 131% @uring the remainder of the week. At first, it is true, the price showed a tendency toa Igher figure; but any ad- vance was at once comvpatted by the “bears,” who sold with the belief that the causes of depression RB bends abroad. were only temporary and would be quickly dissipatea by the prompt action of Congress in repassing the Public Credit bill. The growing favor exhibited for our Rational securities is demonstrated In no more appo- site fact than. the decline in consol. These latter securities are the great vehicle of mvyestment in Great Britain, and they rise and fall barometrically With the prospects of war and peace in Europe. Whatever smouldering sources of disquiet there may be in the countries across the Atianile peace reigns supreme there just now, aud consols should be at their highest point. Just before the Cabinet dim- culties referred to they were quite low in conse quence of the sudden divefsion of the monéy in- veSted in them toour bongs, which went over by millions in every steainer. The trouble over the Treasury Secretsryship produced a reac- tion; but the cable telegrams of Sstarday show a decline again as the effect of the revived demand for United States secnrities. Not the least remarkable sign of the effect produced im Great Britain was the meeting of the Bank of England directors to consider a proposition to raise the rate of discount, and thus check the demand, which threatened to drain the coin of the country im exchange for our bonds, The official rate is tree percent. it is, therefore, easy to understand the temptation which our bonds possess. No action Was taken on thé sabjeci, the meeting occuring just ‘at the the of the decitne following tue selection of @ Cabinet, which doubtless was regarded ag the be- ginning of a reaction that would atrest investment, ‘if it did not cause a reshipment of our bouds. "The money market during the week was very even, ‘te rate on ca!l loans remaining steady at seven per cent, with te usual exceptional transactions as six. The abolishment of the oid sysvem of quarterly staterments, while it has relieved the market from the spasms of periodical stringency, operates to keep the interest rate nearer the full iegal figure at ai! tunes—the banks being destrous of maintaining a strong position in sntictpation of & ¢ail for any day which the Comptroller may select. Yor titis Teason it is bardiy probable that the rate wil) fluctuate as jow as it used to during the tnterval between quar- terdays in the old system, aad it 1s equally likely that it will not asvend to superiegal figures, unless through the interposition of artif¢lat cunees, The weekly bank statement as compared with its prede- cessor is as Sollows:— March 6, March We Loans.. « $268,089,883 Speci .

Every day the real estate market approaches nearer im its practice to the stock market, the nume- rous operators in the latter who, thoroughly imbued with its traditions Bave, by reason of the opportunt ties for sueceassul speculation offered in the former, been tempted to enter into tas dealers, bringing with them their old habits of thought and action, in- ducing this agsimilation. Thus inthe stock market there are certain leading shares in the several lists, such as New York Central in the railways (or Erie in times of yore), which serve to some extent as barom- eterg, indiating im their couree the general char- acter and tone of that particular class of securities, and, in fact, toa great extent in the case of very prominent stocks of the whole market. The Jaw of sympathy has nowhere such prompt exhibi- tion,Ja decline in one of these barometers being generally followed by @ weakening of the whole list, and tts advance by corresponding activity. A similar relation ig noticeable recently in the real estate market. Throughout the early portion of last week, under the loud warnings of dangerous infla- tlon, and the predictions expressed in many quarters of the approaching reaction, there was a comparative lull in the excitement in the market, and a manifes- tation for the first time this year of a considerable “bear” feeling. Stimulated early inthe week by the ‘reserved character of the bidding at the auction sales the market to agteat extent lostits buoyant tone and transactions fell off quite considerably. It was noticeable, however, that this disposition to dis- count a possible reaction in prices was confined to buyers, holders of property resisting any abatement from the best previous figures and preferring to withdraw their offerings rather than sell at conces- The market remained thus through the conserva- @ private market i lews of the Co f i = BF [ i ee = F ra ‘> - 2) REESE 2 soe Per Fe Pry BeEHGEEEE EE 32 BRP. = I =; Renal Estate Notes.

MILITARY NOTES. ‘The disgraceful scenes incident to the competition drill which was had last summer between the Web- ster and Montgomery Guards should have taught the National Guard a good lesson, viz.—that compe- Ution drills in nowise add to the eMciency of any corps in the organization, Companies G and K of the Eighth regiment have of late been boasting ‘about each other’s respective merits to such a degree that a competition drill was fixed to come off be- tween them one day last week. The companies promptly appeared at the place chosen for the drill at the time specified, the referee made the very jast decision that while one company was drilling the other should retire from the room, the affair ‘Was quashed then and there. Indeed, so great was the excitement that Lieutenant Colonel Scott, of the Eighth, who happened to be present, found it neces- sary to exert his authority by making both compa- nies stack arms and disperse.
