a FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. WEDNESDAY, ¥, March 31-6 P. M, According to a. weekly financial journal Secre- tary Boutweil has decided that the United States should not assume the responsibility of acting as the redemption agent of tie national banks, and no power has been conferred upon the Treasury Department to do so, nor Wul the department become an indirect agent tn assisting to keep afioat and in cireulation national Dank notes in suck @ condition that, were they United States notes, they would be at once caticelled and destroyed; and Assistant Treasurers and cole lecting officers of the United States are therefore instructed that the same reasons which would cause Adsistant Treasurers to withhold from cirtulation and send to Washington for destruction notes of the United States will cause them to refuse to receive noses of the national banks Wich are no longer 1b to be kept in cireulation. The money market wag. anabatedty stringent to- day, aud a few instances are reported of cail loans made ata quarter of one per cent day commission added to the full legal umterest. Gold interest and currency interest with one-eignth commission were paid on piedge of government collaterals, wile a commission of one-half per cent was offered, in addition to seven per cent, to carry bonds thirty days, The prevailing rates were gold interest and one-eighth commission. Just before three o’clovk the needs of borrowers caused the extemporization of © moncy exchange on the sidewalk tn front of the Stock Exchange, where ail sorts of “fancy” rates were marketed, Lencers were gencral tn their destre for one-quarter,and borrowers, according to their wants, approached in bi¢s of 1-16 34, 5-32 and 8-16, Late ye-terday afternoon the bangs received orders jor currency and commenced shipping some consizn- Ten(s going to-day. The climax of activity wili have yessed by Saturday unless artificial mfuences are intioduced for speculative purposes in. the Stock market. The circular of a prominent banking house gays to-night:—We have ‘had no currency orders from Pennsyivanta to-day and hope we have seen the end of the drain in that direction, The large interest and dividend disbursements of corporations commenemg to-morrow will bring muteh money into tiie street and will contribute to an easier condition of things. Goia was firm despite the reports of specie ehip- . Ments en route from Europe. ‘The real scareity of gold in the city enables holders ‘o make @ “squeeze” whenever they choose, and hence the constitutional bears are afraid to gell speculatively. An old law having been discovered, which vests the Secretary of the Treasury with the power to anticipate the government coupon interest, the House Committee of Ways and Means reported back the Senate bili to authorize the prepayment of the interest on ‘he public debt and were discharged from its further consideration, The following was the range in the Bese of ola to-day :— 0 A.M 1381 ‘Cash gold was spasmodic in its supply. Up to Clearing House time rates for loans ranged from 1-32 for borrowing to 7 per cent for carrying. In the afternoon loans were made at 6 per cent for carrying down to flat. The Gold Exchange Bank report is ag foliows: Goid cleared. + $74,305,000 Goid balances.... . 258, 000 Currency balances. 8,006,407 Governinents continued dull but steady. The present holders are strong dealers and operators, who are able to Carry in the face of tight money. The London price to-day showed an improvement at the opening of business. At the frst board 62's were held at 11844 and 67’s sold at 112, cash. There was more speculative feeling in the old 65's, which were bought and sold with three days’ options at the fame price, At the noon board 62's were sold at118, all that was offered at that price being taken. 67's were a shade weaker. The fecling at the afternoon board was unsettled, and there was a wider margin between the bidding and asking figures fer the 62's. The closing quoiation of 83% at London made the market (rm alter the boards, and 116 was bid for the id 65's, but sellers coming out there was a slight re- action at the close of business, the following being the strect quotations at five o’ciock this even- ing:—Umted States sixes, 1881, registered, 115 a 12534; do., coupon, 115%; a 115%; do., five-twentics, registered, 115 %¢ &113}¢; do,, coupon, 1862, 118 a 11835; @o., 1864, 115% a 114; do., 1865, 11574 a 116; do., new, 1865, 112% @ 113; do,, 1807, 112% @ 113; do., 1868, 113 a 112343 do., ten-forties, registered, 10434 a 10435; do., coupon, 0d3¢ a 10594; currency bonds, 143g a 1044, Foreign exchange continued weak and declined. Cable transfers were offered at 103), and prime bankers’ sterling, sixty days, sold at 107%. The choicest sixty day franc bills sold at 5.25, The fol- lowing rates are nominal, the market being too un- settied for exact quotations:—Sterling, sixty days, commercial, 107 a 107}¢; good to prime bankers’, 107% @ 108; short sight, 1083f @ 108}. Paris, sixty days, 6.28% 2 5.2234; short sight, 6.22}, @ 5.20; Ant- werp, 6.30 a 5.23%; Switzerland, 5.30 a 5.23%; Ham- burg, 35 a 3634; Amsterdain, 30); a 4044; Frankfort, 39% a 40%; Bremen, 77 @ 78; Prussian thalers, 70 a T0%. The stock market continued to present the curious feature of higher prices in the face of more stringent money. The improvement extended to the whoie list, with few exceptions, these including Pacttic Mail, Harlem and the express stocks. On the other hand, New York Central went up to 162; but the buoyancy of this stock, as well as of Hudson River, is to be attributed in part to the opposition which the pro rata freight bili is receiv. ing in the Legislature, Fort Wayne cold freely at 125 and Rock Island at 135%. In the caso of the last mentioned stock quotations were ex-dividend after two o'clock, the books losing to-day for the five per cent semi-annual div- idepd. Subsequent to that hour 1 sold as high as 181 freely, Western Union advanced over one per cent, The number of transactions was Linited, and the brokers continue to complain of dull times, The cliques are in possession of the great bulk of the speculative stocks, and they cannot afford to suffer the present activity of money to demoral- ize prices, While the market now 1s iliogicaliy atrong, tt is just as likely to be ilogically weak with the retern of easy money, The “outelde public” end (he speculators who are “out of stocks will be tukely that time to 4uy wnreservediy, calculating that, with funds abundant’in the street, prices must go sul bigher, and the cliques will be only too ready to “unload” to thom, The stock market is an ia- teresting study just now, It may be much more so within a fow weeks. No disparagement 1s meant of roads end enterprises which are really increasing their annual carnings, Por such the advance ts not mation, But the eforts of the cliques are largely ccneentiated on certam stocks, and their favoriies should not be the favorites of the pubhe who are \oking for taveetbments curing the coming season. ‘The following were the ciosing prices at the last regular beard:—Canton, 69 a 60; Cumberiand, a 26; Western Union 3844 a 384 ; Quicksilver, 20 a 2034; Mariposa, 1844 @ 19; do. preferred, 3444 a 35; Pacific Man, 5944 @ 80.4; New York Central, 1614 a 102{ Hud- aon River, 198 @ 190%; Readipg, 014 914g; Michigan Contral, 118 a 118) jichigan Southern, 95% a 90; Hl nois Central, 197; Pittsburg, 89)g a 0)g; North. western, S4 & 6434; do. preferred, 92% a 02%; Tole do, 106% @ 106%; Kock Island, 199% wi \ , ex divi dend; St. Paul, T1ty @ TLigedo. preferred, 8014 a 9054; Wabash, 65% a 67; do. preferred, 754 a 78; Fort Wayne, 125 129%; Ohio and Mississippt, 32% a B2%, the following were the closing quotations on the call at the last open Woatd:—Hoston Water Power, 1644 & 10; Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express, 009¢ a 9134; Adams Express, 684 a 5854; American Express, 4014 441; United States Express, 55 a 66%; Merchants’ Union Express, 1534 0 10; Quicksilver, 20% a 204%; Pacitic Mail, 89 @ 80%; Western Union Telegraph, S956 & 504%; New York Central, 161); a 161%; Mari- POs, 18% & 1034; do, preferred, 3454 w 94%; Hudson River, 190 8.19054; Reading, 9144 a 91%: Alton and ‘rerre Hante, 34 bid; do, preferred, 64.0 66; Toledo and Wabash, 677% @ 6714; do. preferred, 72; Milwau- kee and St. Paul, Ti a 714; do. preferred, 0% a $034: Ohto and Mississippl, 324 a 32%; Fort Wayne, 1244 @ 125; Michigan Central, 117% 0120; Micttgan Southern, 957% & 96; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 10% a loveland and Toledo, 100% bid; Rock Island, 139% & 151; Northwestern, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1869—QUADRUPLE SHBET. 152 4157; Bankers and Drokers’, 106 a 107; Lake Bhore, 196%; bid.

REAL ESTare MATHERS “The last new thing” in the real estate market is the establishment of a rival salesroom to the Ex- ehange, at No. 96 Wall street, by J. T. Levy, where it 18 proposed to sell property without charging any- thing for rent. The practice at the Exchange has been to charge a certain sum (two or three dollars) upon every piece of property disposed of there. Last May, in consequence of the preponderance of mero “knock downs” over actual sales, this charge was extended to include the former as well, and it is the avolishment of this tax which is relied upon as an Imaucement to bring business to the new room. At the Exchange Salesroom yesterday the market showed considerable animation, with an improved feeling, consequent upon alarger namber of bona ide transactions. What we said of the necessity of olders making concessions hes been a eye by the shrewder of thein, aad is like! miore @X- tensively exhibited. Tucre would be sound judg- ment in their so doing, as it would lit the market from its present slagy) » and with imereased euimation stimulate a rev! of activity, Below we give particulars of yesterday's dealings.
