FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ‘ TUESDAY, August 24-6 P.M. Although the apprehenston is so general that the fall activity in money will be unusually severe this season the rates on call loans continue to show anything but etringency, the figures ranging from seven down to five per cent, with the greater number of transac- tions ai six and five, the latter being tiie exceptional Tate on governments to prime houses, Already there Is a disposition to prepare for the active season and time loans are being engaed for periods of thirty and sixty days, Ina quotable instance the rate was seven per cent plus a commission of one per cent, This commission is, it seems, perfectly legal, the agent effecting the loan being entitled to it like reai estate and mortgage brokers, 8 provided by law and custom. Of course the lenders can make such agreement as they please with the agents for the divislon of the commission. Owing tothe recent severe warning against usury iv ts probabie that this system of loan brokerage will be quite in vogue during the fall. As it is now the lenders are in the majority. They refuse to buy paper, especially long dates, and hence there is a plethora of funds oncall. The bunks are still ship- ping currency; but the demand has fallen off from last week. Commercial paper is quoted at nine to twelve per cent discount. The government market was very steady and dull. Prices full off an eighth to aquarier per cent at the last board, owing to a decline in London, where the 1867's have reacted to 8 firmness io the and prices re- later street dealings. home market ‘ed susceptible to iower quotations from at before the recent advance in London and Frankfort bonds had been shipped thia way, and they may be soon expected in this market, The g@mount in comparison with thot t 18 quite nominal, aud hence the fact had iiite effect on prices, An advaice or decline on ert ide of the Atlantic is now 4 sharply watclied t quotations are goon broucht to a level. The ease in the money market vorable to the buil side of the street, but the government market has hid tts share of specwiative iuterest during tne few weeks and operstors are directing ir attention to more acitve investments, The following were the closing street prices this eveaing:—United Btates et 1881, registered, do. do., coupon, { @ 123; do. five 23, registered, 1213; 12154; do. do., coupon, 1862, 12274 a 12254; do. o., coupon, 1864, 12134 412114; do. do., coupon, 1865, 121% © 12154; do. do., coupon, new, 1865, 120% a 1203; do. do,, coupon, 1867, 120!; a 12054; do. do., coupon, 1°63, 12044 a 120%; do. tent regis. tered, 110'; a 111; do, do., coupon, 114)4 a 114.4; cur- Tency bonds, 109% a 110, South securities were barely steady on the nas and weak for t jessees, Of course tie letter of Secretary Ficivher in alirming the reliability of the new bonds uduced a heavier feeling in the original bonds. Later in the day new Tennessees gharply declined. bonds of the other Soutiern States were generally dull and with- out feat fhe'city of New Uriexns has recently issued one and a half million of seven per cent twen- ty-flve yoar bonds, under the act of the Legisla- ture of Louisiana, approved Fe>ruary 27, 1869, The punctual payment to the fiscal agent by the city of N Orleans of the interest on these bonds is imperatively fixed by law, aud they will constitute @ firat morigege on all the real esiato of the city of New Oriesns—now moderately estimated at $12d,- 000,000—a!ter the consolidated debt, which wili soon be extin,uished by the annua! tax of $659,000, The Interest coupons of these bonds are payable in the city of New York on the Ist of S and 1st of March, anc the fiscal agent of the city of New Orleans will promptly provide for and have the same paid at the counter of the Chemical National Sank, of this city. Tue agency of the loan in this city is at 59 Exchange place. Another loan on the market ts for $309,000 in bonds of Buchanan county, State of Missouri, issued by a special vote of the people, at Qu election held for the purpose. They have twenty Years to run, with the option of paying them after ten years, and bear ten percent interest, payable semi- annually, on 1st of July and January, at the Bank of America, in this city. They are free of government tax, the principal being payable in New York. The taxa- bie wealth of the county is $13,000,000, and the debt, Mcluding these bonds, only $500,000. The agency in New York ts at 49 Wall street. The public would do ‘well to “iscriminate in such investments. Recently some bonds were offered for sale purporting to be issuea by Lyon county, State of iowa.

Foreign exchange was stealy, witha better de- mand for bills, The recent decline in gold has in- duced a great deal of purchasing by merchants, who regard the situation from a conservative point of view, aud think that gold, after so sharp a decline, must remain in the vicinity of its present figure for @ome time to come. The following was the range of quotations:—Sterling, sixty days, commercial, 108% @ 100%; good to prime, bankers’, 10914 a 109%; short sight, 110 a 110'4; Varis, sixty days, 5.20a 6.15; short sight, 6.133¢ a 5.1249; Antwerp, 5.20 a 6.15; Switzerland, 5.20 5.15; Hawburg, 3534 a 3 Amsterdam, 40!¢ a 40%; Frankfort, 401% a 40%; Bremen, 7434 @ 79; Prussian thalers, 7014 a 714.

The following editorial, from the Chicago Repudli- can of August 22, concerning the Presidency of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, will be read with great interest by the speculative fraternity of Wall street:— The golden prize, made the subject of competition among the railway kings by the death oi Henry Keep, is still unawarded, and a sharp but quiet struggie is going on regarding tt.

Alocal paper speaking of city improwements in Murfreesboro saya: Never betore, perhaps, in the history of Murtrees- boro has there deen as much buflding forwar’l as at the present time. A new impetus seSms tv have seizod upon many of our citizens to plan and perfect handsome and substantial residences and busiess houses. On the site of the late fire butidings ane bemg erected which will compare favorably with preteasions in this line of much larger cities, and from one end of the city to the otuer bulidors and artisans are engaged in making improvements that will add greatly to its weaith and beauty. In a future number we will speak of these in detail. A correspondent writing from Chicago says:— A vety large amount of building 1s going on. not- withstanding the cry of dull times, and the number of fine business blocks in progress in the central parts of the city Is remarkable. Architects estimate that $10,000,000 have been spent this year in new structures. A notable change ia visible in the Toxion lately occupied by residences on Wabash avenue south to Madison street, ine houses of atone and brick have been torn down, and five story marble front plocks are rising in thelr places. A new block of buildings on Wabash avenue and Wash- ington street stands on land which, less than a score of years ago, was owned by a New York gen- tlemman, who became disgusted with the jek | aud Wrote to @ friend here to sell it for a few hundred dollars, ‘The friend could not sell it readily, and the owner then besoaght hima to take it at his own figures and on his own tine, It was finally disposed of in wen way. To-day it 1s worth $1,500 or $2,000a ‘oot. The Florida Land Register says:— The advance of real estate in Jacksonville during the last three years has been remarkable, Especially for the last year lave the prices increased beyond the anticipation of the most visionary. ‘The great inquiry for lots by tuvalids and others seeking a home for the winter where the climate would be less severe and trying, has tended to bring up the prices of lots generally; but im the more desirable places, and particularly in the high grounds in the neigh- boriood of the St. James Hotel, constructed within the last year, the appreciation in value haa been the most decided and considerable. Nearly all une lots in that vicinity have changed hands, and each holder has realized handsomely on his operations, One lot in block 59 was bought in August last for 3500 by a party who sold again in December for $750. In Feb- ruary the Fiorida Land Agency sold it again at $1,000, Tits instance is a pretty fair example of what has been transpiring in that whole nelghbor- hood. Another lot farther east and on lower ground sold in March, 1867, for $110, again tn April, 1863, for $350, and is now valued at $000. Four lots ing in @ Square form between Adams and lonroe and containing one acre, sold recentiy for $10,000 which but two years since were valued at little over $2,000, In tho eastern portions of the city owners of lots have emulated the example of the west end and hold their lots at nearly the same prices; yet fewer sales have been made and less in- terest genera'ly has been awakened. Events show that “Westward ho! the course of empire takes its onward way.” Tho rapid rise of Riverside and Brooklyn aud other suburvan enterprises also mdi- cates that a decided and general interest is awak- ened in our city, all of which promises a brilliant future for Jacksonviile. The following are the transactions in real estate in Providence, R. I, exclusive of those transfers where the consideration was merely nominal, for the week ending August 21:— Phebs A, Vaughan sold to David J.
