GOLD UP TO n4. —~ GOVERNMENT BONDS ADVANCED. EASY MONEY MARKET. WALL Sree } Monpay, May 6—6 P. M. ‘The rise in flour and grain which occurred the first part of last week in the West has finally reached this market, and prices for flour are five to ten cents better, and wheat has advanced about wo cents per bushel. Cotton remains inactive, former prices being with difficulty sustained, OLD—HIGHEST 114, LOWEST 1135, ‘The gold market was strong to-day, owing to the ‘ensettied condition of the Alabama claims question. ‘There was no excitement, however, and no extra- erdinary movement took place. The premium @pened at 113% and touched 114 at various times @uring the day, but could not be made to hold at ‘that figure. MONEY MARKET. ‘The market was easy and borrowers could get all the accommodations they required at six and weven per cent, and many availod themselves of the generosity of lenders in order to carry over stocks which were heavily down. THE STOCK List. Stoeks have not experienced such a decided de- pression in many days. Al! the active shares sympathized with the bear feeling from the start; and their downward course, although gradual, was steady from the opening to the close. New York Central and Hudson River commenced at 98) and @eolined to 96%; Erie opened at 67 and fell to 65% ; Pacific Mail started at 75 and went down to 72%; Western Union was bid off at 76% in the morning ‘and sold down as low as 74}, and so on through the entire list, as willbe seen more in detail in the table of the opening and closing prices, which we give below :— Opening.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE. ‘There is no change in foreign exchange, sixty- @ay prime sterling bills being sold at 109%, and short sights at 1103. THE CALLED IN BONDS. A correspondent furnishes the following informa- tion in relation to the government bonds which Rave been called in by the Secretary of the Trca- | ary :— Permit me through the columns of your valuable journal to impart some information to the public, which I think in many cases will be of material benefit, in reference to the five-twenty bonds now being redeemed by the government. 1 find trom experience that many holders are laboring under the impression as to the registered bonds that they date from the time issued by the Register of the Treasury or transferred by him (which are of vari- ous dates), whereas it 1s from the act—viz., Febru- ary 25, 1862. The coupon bonds of this loan are of four series—first, second, third, fourth—of which are redeemable at present certain denominations and numbers of first and second series, and of reg- istered patie have no series) certain denomina- tions. ny still hold these nds and are and have been losing interest since December and March last, erring in the impression as to date and act, as above stated. STATE BONDS. Southern State securities continue dull, and the quotations of Saturday last are unaltered. RAILROAD EARNINGS, ‘The Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad earned last month $145,358, against $118,173 for the same time fast April. In the course of a year or two this road will be deprived of considerable of its traific. A new and more direct road ts to be constructed from the Parkersburg (West Virginia) bridge down along the Ohio to Belpre, and thence across to Athens, which will save some fourteen miles of travel.

The question as to the amount of our foreign in- debtedness and the annual burden of the interest charge is one which often excites attention, and is made the basis of many arguments in regard to our fiscal policy. foreign debt was thus estimated :— National securities... pated State, railway, municipal and othe: ritles. ‘ . . TNO «vee s= 02638 5 cece eee Bi y685,500,000 The opinions, however, held on this subject by those who have given it examination greatly vary. ‘The estimates of the best informed bankers, whose business makes it necessary for them to follow the 465,500,000 state of the foreign exchanges as closely as possi- | ble, vary from $860,000,000 (say $560,000,000 of United States bonds and $300,000,000 of State, muni- cipal, railroad and other securities) to $1,200,000,000 ; the several estimates of State, municipal and rail- road bonds being substantially the same, and the variation being on the amount of United States bonds. The elements of this question are somewhat diM- | cult to specify with certainty. In the first place it is necessary to estimate the adverse balance of trade upon the actual exports and imports of mer- chandise, including specie. The declared valucs of the imports and exports for the last eight years, as made up by the Bureau of Statistics, are used in the following statement :— ts of merchandise during the eight fiscal vepare 1864 to lal, inclusiveness $8,108,777,304 Add five per cent Yor smug valuation..... esse, 155,188,870 Of specie and buitio 187,881,718 Total......

We have borrowed a large part of the total import, and in order to tell of what tt consists, it is necessa by experience—viz., ment in our im) per capita, consists of articles of luxury or comfort— wines, silks, tobacco, tea and coffee, fancy goods and the like; it therefore follows that the excess of imports which articles of necessity, such as leather, hides, wool, dyestuffs, and other articles which enter into the dustry, and most of which are reproductive in their nature, to consider a rule which has been proved that the most constant ele- rtation, that which varies least we have borrowed consists of Inetals, lumber, rocesses of domestic in- And this is doubtless the fact-—the war diverted men from the accumulation to the destruction of capital, and what we have borrowed is, in some respects, simply a replacement of the capital de- stroyed. It has therefore been a force without which we should have been hampered and crippled, Had we not thus been able to borrow these articles of prime necessity, our railroads, mills and works of every kind, an have been far less. that, by thus borrowing a portion of our tools of production and distribution abroad, we have placed Sree in a position which will make it easier for us the opening of ‘new lands, would In one sense it may be said Spay our debt owed both at home and abroad.
