FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, | 20%9% ex coupon, 6854 8 68%; a0., new, 66% » 00%; SaTuRpAy, April 17—6 P. M. The weekly statement of the associated banks is highly favorable. The loans have decreased over a million and a quarter of dollars, while the legal ten- ders have increased nearly two million four hundred thousand. The decrease in circulation is-one hun- dred and seventy thousand. The loss of specie is nearly a million—the unfavorable feature of the state- ment; but as the customs duties of the week have been | in the vicinity of two millions it is evident that specio | is goinginto the banks. The payment of the May ‘coupons has given the banks more gold, reflected / 4n the increase of deposits. The excess above the | legal reserve has increased about a million and a | quarter dollars over the previous week. The follow- ing is a comparison of the last two statements:— A; 10.

The mercantile in- terest is greatly the sufferer by the scarcity of “cash” gold—as the actual coin ts technically known in Wall street—and business men are forced day after day to pay high rates for its use in carrying on their transactiuns. Gold isa commodity whion is absolutely necessary in certain transac- tions. It is the only currency for the importing business, and 1s just now too limited in its mount to go around among those who want it. The holders once in a while take @ notion to “squeeze” the market, and up goes the price, or up goes the borrowing rate. The United States Treasury has over a hundred millions idle gold in its vaults, Its retention is a clear loss of seven millions per annum to the country. Why can- not the Secretary of the Treasury authorize Mr. Van Dyok to lend whatever portion of this amount our merchants need? They will give him ample security, such a8 government bonds. If he is apprehensive that the pledges are fuctuating in price they will be 113354 3396 Gash gold was in good demand at the opening of ‘the Gold Room and In the excitement which attended the first inquiries as high as 1-8 was paid for borrow- Ang to Monday. The supply increased later in the forenoon and by naif-past eleven o’clock loans were made at 1, 2 and 23, per cent per annum for carry- ng. In the afternoon loans were made at flat and 1-82 for borrowing to Monday, and at 2 per cent per annun for carrying. The following is the report of the Gold Exchange Bankk— $109,908,000 8,418,200 The Hamburg steamer Allemannia brought $1,040,000 in specie. The arrival was too late to Appear in the bank statement. Foreign exchange was firm, and rates ranged as follows:—Stering, sixty days, commercial, 107 & 107%; good to prime bankers’, 1075 a 108; short Bight, 108% a 108%. Paris, sixty days, 6.264 @ 5.21%; short sight, 5.21% 95.183; Antwerp, 5.204 & 5.22%; Switzerland, 6.26% o 6.224; Hamburg, 36 #3634; Amsterdam, 395 a 40; Frankfort, 40 4036; Bremen, 773 a 78; Prussian thalers, 7014 @ 70%. The government market opened with a continua- tion of the buoyancy which has prevailed during the week, and the 62's sold quite freely at 121, a lot of $100,000 bringing that price. This figure brought ‘Out sellers at the noon board, when buyers were less ‘urgent in their bids, and the market became steady 4f not dull for the old issues. The domestic bonds ‘Were atill buoyant and rose a quarter to three-eighths per cent above the very high prices of yesterday. ‘The following were the closing street prices this afternoon:—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 117 & 117%; do., coupon, 117% @ 117%; do., five- twenties, 1862, 1207 @ 121; do., 1864, 116% @ 116%; A0,, 1805, 118 a 11834; do,, new, 1865, 1153, @ 115%; o., 1867, 1153 @ 11534; do., 1868, 1159¢ @ 115%; ten-forties, registered, 105% a 106%; do., coupon, 106% a 10634; currency bonds, 104% a 108%. In the money market there was a still easier feel- fing, and the rate on call loans was even seven per fent currency, with @ good demand arising out of the greater activity of the stock market. No excep- ‘tional rates above or below the legal figure are re- ported. i is @ matter of some surprise that the ‘Comptroiler of the Currency has not as yet called for a statement under the provisions of the new law. The economist thinks this delay “has a tendency to re- press operationsy the banks and exerts a baneful Anfluence upon business at large. The exercise of tue Comptroller’s discretion in this matter is the sub- ject of severe comment in banking and financial circles, as he has certainly neediessly contributed to ‘the prolongation of a very embarrassing stringency. In fact, the whole system of bank statements hias be- ome a farce and @ nuisance, and the sooner it is ‘Teduced to a simple annual statement, as before the imadguration of the national system, the better for the banks “nd for the public. It is safe, apparently, anticipate, for some weeks to come, a steady ease in money, though low rates would appear to be quite dmprobabie.” Commercial paper was more active for the names which are fewest in the market.

Yet with all this, the unpopularity of the measure in the country districts may hoid a controlling power, and the bill die in tts final struggle. The Governor's veto power, sc often interposed, has puta damper upon the friends of corrupt legislation, and they do not work with the will they used to, when all that was necessary was to pass the Legislature, the Executive being alwaya submissive.
