FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Fuipay, May 28—6 P, M. The gold market was quite steady to-day in con- trast to the wild ad wide fluctuations which have marked its course under the speculative influences of the street. The announcement from Washington that the public debt wiil show a reduction of not less than tweive miliions for the present month, while vesting national aifaira with @ couleur de rose aspect 4s fatal to the hopes of the advocates of higher gold. It seems that the sale of two miliions of gold per week has not reduced the government gold resources, while the currency Oalauce has increased to about fifteen miliiuns. If Mr. Boutwell will only-per- aist in giving the wm .rket gold whenever the gamblers to force up the price he wili aiford the friends of cheap gold the means of holding out till September, when the corn and cotton exports will defer the necessity for specie shipments if they do not bring specie this way. With three months more of the present policy of Mr. Boutwelt the country will have made an important stride toward steady gold quota- tions and specie resumption. Thess facts were fore- seen to-day by the “bears,” who put the price up 8 nalf per cent to make a better market to sell upon. ‘The “short” interest in the market ts very heavy, and if the premium goes with the feeling of the majority it is likely to undergo further fuctuauion an the effort of goid to find its true place. The course of the price to-day 13 shown in the table:— Seeee ‘The rate for carrying th tho market for cash gold ‘was very steady at seven to six percent, Anexcep- fional transaction was recorded at “flat.” The dis- ‘Dursements of coin mterest were $221,399, The report of the Gold Exchange Bank is as fol- $113, 766,000 1,696,066 ‘The government market was strong, but without excitement, The firmer tone of the gold premium encouraged investment, the demand coming from oth the foreign and domestic dealers, The com- parative steadiness of gold, the advance in exchange and the rise of five-twenties in London to 79% were Anducements to the renewal of purchases by the foreign houses. 62’s opened at 122, upon which there was an advance of % per cent at the close of the day. The 67's were less active, but improved to the extent of % a % percent. It will be seen by our correspondence {rom Germany that the Legisla- ture there is discussing a proposition to tax all foreign securities at the rate of one per cent, @hia is the governmental action of Prussia answering the action of the Bank of England. Should the bill become a law ite effects would be feit in Frankfort, Hamburg and Lubec, but not in Amsterdam, which does the largest business in‘our bonds of any of the German or Dutch cities. The Washington report of Secretary -Boutwell’s progress in reducing the national debt |produced considerable buoyancy in late street trans- actions, the market closing with the following quo- tations: —United States sixes, 1881, registered, 12054 a ,221; do., coupon, 1213 @ 121445 do. five-twenties, rezis- tered, 116%, @ 116%; do. do., coupon, 1862, 122% a 12234; do. do., coupon, 1864, 116%; & 116%; do. do., coupon, 1865, 11834 & 1185;; do. do., coupon, 1865, mew, 1193¢ @ 11914; do. do., coupon, 1867, 119% a #11934; do. do., coupon, 1868, 119% @ 119g; United (States fives, ten-forties, registered, 10814 a 109; do. ‘@0., coupon, 10934 a 1093{; currency bonds, 106% 107, The money market was quiet and steady at six to (weven per cent. The former was the rate on call floans with pledge of government coilaterals. On wetocks and miscellaneous securities the prevailing ‘gure was seven, but good houses were able to (borrow at six where they made a point of taking Asrge sums, Foreign exchange was firmer under a better de- wmand for bills, and rates advanced about an yelghth per cent. The range of quotations was follows :—Sterting, sixty days’ commeretal, 083, a 108%; good to prime banker#, 109 109% ; short sight, 109% 8 110; Paris, sixty days, 6.25 @ 5.16%; short sight, 5.16% a 5.13%; ADb 5.25 @ 6.16%; Switzerland, 6.25 @ 616%; burg, 35% a 35%; Amsterdam, 30% @ 40%; fort, 39% @ 40%; Bremen, 77 @ 78%; Pree thalers, 70%¢ @ T1i¢. The speculative proclivities of the authortties in he different Southern States 1s the source of a great eal of fluctuation tn their bonds. The following, which is from the semi-offictal organ of the dominant rty in Tennessee, may or may not be entirely thful, according to the present speculative posi- r¢ion of the Tennessee authorities as regards their own bonds:— The money to pay off the semi-annual interest this \Jaly will have to be ail borrowed. The semi-annual interest to be provided for is about $1,100,000. The roads provide about $400,000 of this. The re- ing $700,000 must be provided for either by laws ir by taxation. Not one raliroad in the hands of re- ceivers pays a cent into the treasury in the way of \interest to be provided for; the raliroads ought to ‘ something over $800,000, Instead of this they rovide about half thatsum. The militia will cost @ State about $200,000. Of tnis sum $50,000 has f borrowed in New York. The taxes this year jwill not bring any money into the treasury until iter the July interest becomes due, so that some only borrowing wiil have to be done if the July tn- Ke 18 to be paid on time. The schools have taken Yover $400,000 since August last. The current ex- pnses of the goveromeut will absorb as much and a7) more than can be realized from taxes up to ¢ fall. Southern securities were weak for the new Ten- meggees, which dropped to 63% on the assertion that {aterest would not be paid. Alabama eights sold own to par. New North Carolinas were a shade ‘better. The general list was steady. The following were the closing street prices :— "Yenneasces, ex coupon, 67}; @ 68; do. new, ‘6434 8 65; Virginias, ex coupon, 57 a 5714; do. new, 60 61; Georgia sixes, 81 282; do. sevens, 95 a 96; jorth Carolinas, ex coupon, 69 a 5044; do. new, 55a 65%; Loutsiana sixes, 72 a 74; do. levee sixes, 689 633; do. levee eights, 88 a 89; Alabama eights,100 a “101; do. fives, 67 a 63; City of Memphis sixes,s4a ‘OAs. The stock market opened with great buoyancy ‘under a continuance of the bullish influences so pre- @ominant at the close of the previous day. The “years,” however, were unusually reticent and un- Gemonstrative, which fact did more to discourage the “pulls” than @ vigorous counter-movement, and rices began to settle again, the market becoming ‘dull and quiet, This period of hesitation and inde- cision was followed by an afternoon of consklerable animation in the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Stocks, the latter advancing from 109 to and closing at 1134. It is supposed that the Vanderbilt party jaro buying tt im furtherance of the plan of a consolidation of the rallway interests ween Albany and Chicago. In this con- tion it is curious that Hudson River and ‘Harlem are weak. The fact arouses the suspwion ‘hat Mr. Vanderbilt is solling his stook in those roads, or a large portion ot it, to enabie him to enter ‘wpon the possession of the Michigan Southern, which 4s the key of the Chicago connection. He is nota ‘Croesus, His funds ate not illimitable, and to do ‘the latter he must part with some of his vast pro- perty in stocks. Erie advanced to 204%, much to the isgqust of the bears, who bought “pute” at 20, when expire this week. In the recovery of the market this afternoon Ohio and Mississippi advanced to 34% ‘end the railway list improved from one to three per cent. New York Central was quoted ex-dividend after the second board, the injunction restraining the pay- ment of the interest on the scrip having been form- ally removed yesterday, although the action of the Legisiavure had really done 80 some time sinee. The amount paid was $320 00 each hundred shares of original stock—the equivalent of four per centon eighty per cent thereof. Fort Wayne sold as high as 10954, bat im the absence of further news of the terme on which the serip dividend will be Issued, declined to 168%. ‘The directors of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad have issued 15,000 shares of new preferred stock to represent the cancellation of a0 equal amount of ten per cent bonds. While the market price was 104 they bought it in at 105, with thirty days’ option.

Miners’ Strike at Grass Valloy—They Object to Any Imprevements in Mining—The Mince to Be Worked as iu Cornwall—Particulars of the Strike. Nevapa Orry, May 17, 1869. Some 300 miners in the neighboring town of Grass Valley are on a strike against the use of what is ” which is now being used quite extensively as a blasting agent. By the use of this powder, on account of its greater ex- plosive force, a saving can be effected of nearly one- half in working mines, according to numerous tests made, The miners appreciate this, but, being mostly ignorant Cornishmen, they imagine it will be detrimental to their interests to have the mines worked more cheaply. They look only to the present, and take no note of the hundreds of mines in the county, which are too poor to pay by the present method of working, but which may be ope- known here as the “giant powder, rated with profit by means of the new powder. ‘The miners have organized a league and adopted resolutions of the most preposterous character, the at the owners shall have nothing tosay as to the manner fn which the mines shall be worked, and declaring that no improvement can be made on the Cornish system, where, in thelr estimation, mining bas been brought to perfection. Asa ponneinenne of the strike two important mines, the North rr and the Empire, have suspended operations. These two mines have been yielding about $70,000 @ month, and their suspension has thrown out of employment a considerable number of workmen who were employed in the quartz mills and other work outside of the mines. The miners were receiving three dollars @ day, in coin, and the general feeling in the county is that they are in the wrong in every particular. ictejd declare that the yy Cornishmen and in the Cornish style; but the superintendents are en- deavoring to procure American miners to fll their places, and the probability 1s that a force of men will soon be at work in both mines who can neither be intimidated by threats nor driven otf by open substance of which 13 t mines shall not be worked except acts of violence.
