FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. SuNDAY, May 23, 1869, ‘The week m Wail street was an excited one, par- taonlarly in its earlier stages, The opening of busi- mess was signalized by the report of @ very heavy failure, which threw the various markets into spasms. The amount involved was not less than a milion and a half of dollars, and, as many houses were known to be connected with the bankrupts, the greatest apprehensions prevailed, Fortunately the latter, with one exception, were able to meet the doses thus entailed upon them, The one exception ‘was a small house, Which was also compelled to sus- pend. A house in the commercial line was com- pelied to suspend, but from causes not connected The dismay which these failures ereated was but short-lived. Wall street gave them but a passing thought and went on asusual. On Saturday they seemed like Bistorical facts, in place of recent events, such 1s the whirling tide of busi- ness in the great Mnancial centre, in the local money market they created a temporary ripple. There was some additioaal activity in and a closer scrutiny of borrowers’ names, but even this uncasiness wore off and the rate on call relapsed to six to seven per cent on government and miscel- When the borrower was willing to take @ large antount in one lot lenders were will- tng to ask only 8ix per cent upon the ordinary stock In commercial paper there was more @oing, as usual at this season when the country banks are so free buyers. The rate of discount for prime double names ranged from seven to eight, with few exceptions at nine per cent, The “bulls” in the gold market took advantage of the excitement to run the price up to 14474, but the Secretary of the ‘Treasury very judiciously announced that he would fm future sell two millions of gold per week, the eftect o1 which determination on his part was @ sharp Whatever the vacillation of Mr. Rontwell in the deginning of his administration, he has in this step made innumerable friends for him- intends to exercise his regular and generally lower.

Admitting, as every one must, his last pro- itions, all the facts go to prove the utter fallacy of is views respecting the available suppiy of labor, and his estimates as to the extent of the next crop. Such extreme estimates, while they can serve no good purpose, may yet, if entertained by the public, be productive of much disappointment, and this 1s the chief reason why we have thought !t necessary Should the season prove fa- vorable thronghout, the extraordinary efforts which are being made to obtain laborers, and the higit prices offered them, will insure, we think, as large, if not a larger crop than the South will again have the capacity to produce for some years to come; but in no event can it ever approximate to the estimate of the writer in the HERALD. of the known annual decrease in the negro laboring population, and for the reason that we can expect no considerable accessions to our supply of white laborers under the soctal equality laws which have been forced upon ns. In the course of years, and when the white population will have complete ascen- dancy, as they certainly will, the flow of emigration will, no doubt, set in this way; but under the present rule business men and mechanics will chiefly com- prise the settlers among us. remarked at the outset, cotton is bound to play the art in establishing again a specie basis for the business of the country; but the sooner all calculations a8 to any material Increase of the crop, based on the present supply of labor, are abandoned the better for ail parties. The truth is this labor question is daily assuming @ worse shape for oar agriculturists, and many who had cal largely on extending the area In cultivation are now disappointed and despondent.
