FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL WALL Srrerr, Wepwuspay, Jas 12 06 PM, ¢ Wall street made up for the excitement of yester day by being dul and heavy to-day. in THE GOLD RooM fome curiosity was felt as to whether the opponents “of the Gold Bank would make a further demonstra- tion, but they did not, and business, which it was ‘thought would become active with the settlement of ‘the question, became sluggish. The clearances for the two dara Were p:omptly effected tbls afternoon, and the machinery of the gold spdcalation 1s again In running order. The friends of Mr, Marvin have been agitating separate dealings in gold, and a great Goal of the business to-day was done outside the Clearing Houge. As the Governing Committee of the Stock Exchange assembled this afternoon it was Tumored that they intended reviving the question of Calling gold at the Board and dealing init in the Long Room, but without foundation, as their meet- ing was tho ordinary stated business session, In the afternoon, upon the news of Senator Sumner's speech, gold broke to 1213, the decline being assist- ea by the goneral impression that the tender of $900,000, gold, to the Clearing House by the Marvin Brothers was an evidence that the citque had un- ‘oadea, Again, there was a more active demand for cash gold, aud as low as (bree per cent was pald for carrying, THE STOCK MARKET ‘was irregular and, in the main, depressed. The ®@mount of business was far below the average of the previous days of the week. The cliques, if not #*short,”” are out of their stocks, and prefer to let the Warket settlo to lower figures pefore buying back, But the outsiders who have taken thelr stock are so sanguine that the general character of the market is “bullish”? that they are not easily induced to sell, par- ticularly as the money market presents no signs of Btringency. The indisposition on the one hand to buy apd on the other to sell rendered business aul. decline was most marked when gola gold down to 121%, Exceptionally New Jersey steadily advanced from 96:4 to 974; and was not of- fered below 98 at the close, Erle was espectally ‘Weak and fell to 223g, though the reason was not as- signed.

Important Meeting of Cigar Manufacturers. No Reduction of Wages—Congress to be Petitioned for a Higher ‘Variff—lute- resting Disclosures asto How Laws Are Passed at Washington. Yesterday afternoon the Cigar Manufacturers’ Association met at No. 170 Water street, Mr, David Hirsch presiding, Mr. John Straiton acting as secre- tary. The object of the meeting was twofold—the election of officers of the association for the current year and @ mutual consultation as to @ reduction of prices paid to their employes, the cigar makers, proposed by three of the manufacturing Orms. The election of officers resulted in the choosing of all the old oMcers and the same executive committee that served last year, excepting Mr. Foote, the vice prest- dent, who declined, stating that his old firm had dissolved, and he is now preparing to go into the Cigar Manufacturing business on his own account; but he felt the necessity of pursuing an independent course as to wages, and he believed it proper to de- cline a re-election and withdraw from the associa. tion. In his place Mr. 8. Jucoby was elected, NO REDUCTION OF WAGES. In regard to the second special object of the meet- lng, tt was announced that a committee of the Cigar Makers’ Union, No, 90, consisting of Messrs. Kuhne and Gabey, were present. Mr. Srorm stated that it was thought best to consult the association, that they might be able to act unitedly, which woulda be less embarrassing than if tucy proceeded separately and individually. Mr. CoNRAD KUHNE, On behalf of the cigar makers, faid they understood that they were not to act as a conference comunittee, but 1t was but right that both sides should communicate with each other and explain their views whctler the state of the cigar trade was such as to neceasiiate & reduction ol price that they might come to an agreement to do some: thing to Luprove the business uirougbout the counuy Mr. BON urged that the Cigar Makers’ Union was & large and important body. Tuey could do muci to as sist their employers by agitating throughout ine land Petitions to Vongress for tue relief of tne trade from ihe injustice Oi Lue present tart. It was suggestod ‘Vaat Lue Committee of the cigar makers retire [or the preseat, which they did. Mr. GABEY, beiore leaving the room, aaked that tie manufacturers do consider aso Whether thetr lavor- ors could afford to work at reduced prices. Mr, STACHELBBRG Opened the atscussion proper by relating tut the price now paid cigar makers wo high, leaving no profit to the manufactu that he feit compelled to reduce the prices, whereupon ms men ele him, and by order of the Union ula shop was declared closed, lie stood it for three weeks, at the end of wineh ne put his hauds to work again at former rates. Ue thouglt it proper to lay whe mater belore the association, and ifa reduction is thought advisable they could all introduce it, Business ts now so situated that Uhey could not afford to pay present pri and com- pete With Imported and Key West cigars. din, Foors believed it Impossible to continue to pay present rates, Bui in no two factories the same rates prevail; cach had & schedule of pric: own. He bad kis own sehedule, and u he c get workmen at that he cannot go on, The pr ont, Mr. HIRSCH, calicd upon Messrs, Straiton, Smich & Storm, who are known to pay l- eval prices, to Bay Wheiner they could afford w con- tine them.

Mr. Bon was of the same opinion, aud believed the source of the evil lay im the present taruf; the vid rate of duty on cigars should be restored, Mr. Hikscu thougut 1% best to let every one pad- dle nis own canoe. He was willing to continue pre- #ent prices. He bad no grievance on his part. Mr. HUTOHESON Feferred to a resolution ed by the association on October 26, 1863, providiug that no member shall reduce prices without consulling the Executive Committee, who shall confer with the Cigar Makers’ Unon;’out the chairman gaid that this Texolution was subsequently repeaied or at least TMaterilly altered. Mr. Foors asked whether by establishing and ad- hering to his own prices ne could remam @ member. “Of course,” was the unaninous auswer, Mr. Bon said tt was the general understanding that if prices are reduced in avy one sbop, and the men strike, the Association of Manufacturers will nos strike ayainst,the cigarmakers geuerully. HOW CONGRESS LEGISLATES ON THR TARIFF. Mr. Higscu calied upon all not yet inembers of the Nationul Tobacco Association to join tuls important , Who have even now & committee at Washing- ton to urge on Congress whe necessity of raising the present import duiy of $2 6urper pound of cigars and twenty-fve per ceut ad vavorem to the toriner rate of three dollars per pound and fifty per cent vd valorem, which wouid yield them rehief to the extent of from ten to fifteen dollars, gold, per thousand.

At this stage, the cigar makers’ committee having in the meanume returaed, Mr. KUUN rose and, the chairman, Mr. Hirseh, naving eommunicated to bin the action Of the association, said that the interests of all prodncing classes were identical, and the em- pioyers and employes shouid go bend inland, 113 he duty of Workingmen to protect the business of their employers and of the country.

The German Plan for Resumption of Specio Payments Without Specie—Reply of Treasurer Spinner to the Letters of the Domain Steward of Baden. Wasiinaron, Jan. 12, 1870, The following ts acopy of a letter addressed by General F. E. Spinner, Treasurer of the United States, to Mr. Karl Seuiferd, Domain Steward of the Grand Duchy of Baden, in response to a letter from that official proposing @ plan for the resumption of specie payments in this country:— TREASURY or THE UNITED STATES, WASHINGTON, Jan, 7, 1870, My Dean Str—Your two esteemed letters—the One of the 11th of Pebruary and the other of the Ist of July last—were each recelved just eighteen days after their respective dates, Answers were withheld, not from want of respect for your finan- cial views, and much less from any want of regard for you personally, An iliness of four months? duration and a constant accumulation of ofiiclal business that has required my coustant attention a raed must plead an excuse for any seeming eglec' I sympethize with you in your perplexity in read- ing and understanding my jetters. 1 presume, bow- ever, thas you ave no more difficulty in reading my English than I have in reading your German letiers, Since I last wrote you I have irequently thought of you, and your, to me, meomprelensivle project of bringtag Our paper money upto the par oF gold without the use of coin. You ask, “Has any one of tho proposals which were submited to your government given ussurances similar to mine f and have they foraished the demonstration?” In answer I quote from one, which ts tn substance the proposition of others:— How to bring tha currency to the specie leve! use of any specie, without contraction and wi turbance of the business of the country. ‘This, as I understand you, 1s also the substance of your proposition, 1 fear that I failed tn making myself understood in regard to the almost insuperable difticuity of dong what you desire to have done in our form of govern- ment. ‘There are a very few cases wheretu it is claimed that a monarchy 1s superior to a republic; the case in hand would seem to justify this claim. Where @ monarch rules you could go direct to him, state your case, and at once get a decision, Not so in ours, which we tuink a better form of sovernment. Here so many diferent branches that constitute tt must be con- suited, and alter much open discussion the assent of each be separately oviained, belore any action can be had, so What an object like yours, requiring secrecsy, Would inevitably fail to be of any pecuniary venelit to the projector, The correctness of your scheme, like that of all the others that have been put forth, Gan be proven to be true only by an absolute trial, Imuch doubt whether any untried project to bring about the end in view would command the assentof many members of cither House of Congress. Almost every member was a plan of his own, in which he has great faith, and which he belteves 13 the only one uiat will insure the speedy resumption of specie payments, Ghd the payment of the public debt as well, at a very early day. .
