M. } un ‘Change to-day wheat was steady, particu- larly for select brands of winter. A fair demand was shown for spring, for milling and export. The general tone of the market is strong, winter being scarce, with a large inquiry. Flour is strong, but owing to the high prices asked dealings are re- stricted. The firmness is more observable in old, which, upon a short supply, 18 strongly held. The supply of new is freer and prices easier. Cotton continues quiet and steady at 20%4c. for low mid- dling and 21%c. for middling. GOLD 115% A 115%. The gold market to-day was generally steady but firm, the sales ranging between 1154 @11544. The customs receipts naturally fell off in consequence of the heavy amount paid in yesterday. After the first rash a considerable reduction is of course to be looked for, but the excitement to-day was only less than yesterday. The receipts are stated at $900,000—an exceptionally large amount. The im- ports of dry goods for this week amount to $3,159,406. The Assistant Treasurer’ paid out $62,000 for five-twetities redeemed and $391,000 for interest. The rates paid for carrying were 1, 2 and 13s per cent, to flat. - The prices of gold to-day Lele * Gola Exchange Bank to- The operations at the day were as follows:—Gold balances, $2,607,414; currency balances, $3,141,921; gross clearances, $68,958,000, In this connection, and in view of the future of the gold and the money markets, the situ- ation of the Treasury becomes of great interest. The following table, prepared from the official debt statement, shows the actual resources of the Secretary on August 1. These figures, it must be borne in mind, take no account of the accrued salaries due the large list of public employés. MR, BOUTWELL’S GOLD BALANCE!

It may be a very fine thing to pay off the national debt before it is due, although our credit does not appear to have improved in consequence, but in the event of any sudden emergency which might call for unusual expenditures om the part of the government we would find ourselves in a consider- able strait to raise money. This is the remarkably successful financial policy, as it is called, of our pres- ent Secretary. THE MONEY MARKET 13 STILL Rasy, although showing signs of early disturbance. The principal business to-day was at 3and4per cent, although in the afternoon as high as 5 per cent was paid, The uneasiness felt in regard to the upward movement in gold, and the clearly demonstrative inability of the Secretary to interfere either in the gold or money markets—an expectation so long the great reserve of the gold bears, with the that mow that the new tariff has gone into operation domestic ex- change will become more active—have a tendency to harden money; hence stiffer rates may be confidently looked for. The samo re- marks apply to time loans, Which are firm at7 per | cent. Prime commercial paper is quoted 6% to 8 | per cent, with transactions under seven excep- | tional. Besides, the Treasury Department have | called in since December 41, 1871, $37,460,000 three. per cent certificates, only $2,000,000 | haying been called before January «31, 1871. The amount of these. cortifvates now un- cali¢d 18 $6,680,000. These certificates form a part of the bank reserve and their place has been filled by new national bank notes, which are, of course, counted as part of the liabilities of the banks. It will thus be seen that wiille the reserve has been narrowed the abilities have been steadily increased for the past twenty months, SPECULATION ON THR STOCK BXCHANGR felt the effect of this mew disposition in the money market, and throughout the day was heavy, with a generally bearish feeling. Erie proved an excep- tion to the general movement, advancing at one time to 49% simultaneously with a sharp recovery in England. This, however, was to be looked for, being the nsual tactics, upon the publication of the Plans of those recently its largest owners, to rid themselves of the stock, rendering it necessary for them or their backers to come to the support of the market in order to secure the opportunity Of a profitable release, Non-dividend paying stocks are only moved upward by cliques, and as Erie is too heavy a load to move successfully upward, there is likely to be more of a bear speculation in | it than on the bull side. The new management has done nothing yet to command public confidence. They have been very free with suggestions of what might he done and what great results would follow the carrying out of their comprehensive plans, But in the existing situation of affairs we may furnish this advice to them in the present temper of the street in regard to the chunge of gauge. “if "were done when done, 'twere well ‘twere done quickly.” The further advice which Iago gave to Roderigo ts not inapt in this connection: “Put money in thy purse.” But this is precisely where the dimculty ts.

IRBLAND, 208 oe UNCLE SAM'S NEW CLOTHES oo le The Uniform for the Army and What It is Like. A GREAT CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. WASHINGTON, July 30, 1872. In @ general order. issued under date of July 27, 1872, the War Department adopts a number of changes recommended to be made tn the army unt- form by the Board which lately sat in New York, andis preparing descriptions and diagrams for distribution, so that the army may be completely equipped in its new dress before Christmas. These » changes have been made with the several purposes of increasing the comfort of the wearer, making the dress more serviceable and greatly adding te the appearance of the soldiery, all of which have long been needed. THE PRESENT UNIFORM of our army is a compound of shreds and patches, something having been added here or taken away there, at the whim of somebody or anybody having the ear of the Seoretary of War, for the last quarter of a century. The present reform was car- ried outon the idea of preserving all that was. good in the old uniform and making it better by addition or substraction as each case might require. The faces of the Board and the War Department were turned against any radical transformations, or the tendency of a large class in the service te change for the mere sake of changing, and the amendments proposed to the present regulations concerning uniform dress and equipments by the present Board do not go as far as the Bectiepens dations of Generals Sherman, Sheridan and Au who constituted a Board for the like purpose: or five years ago. THR DOUBLE-BREASTRD FROCK COAT, heretofore sacred to officers above the rank of — tain, is now to be worn by officers of all ranks, thi improvement on the despised sit Treaster being accomplished by the united efforts of the “liners,” The coat 1s alittle shortened in the skirt and tho cuffs are to be ornamented with gold stripes upon the upper side, The undress sack coat which worked its way into service during the late war is now recognized, with the addition of some simple ornamentation, and as officers are now forbidden by law and orders to wear brevet untforms the insignia of brevet rank may be worn on the coat collar instead. The unsightly FROCK COAT OF THE ENLISTED MAN, for refusing to draw which, at the cost of their men, the Colonels of a whole diviston of nine months! troops were courtmartialed and dismissed, in the late Army of the Potomac—givea place to a neatly fitting basque, te iintay Basa with the colors of the seve! rms on the breast and skirts and lib- erally ornamented with buttons. The brass shoul- der scale disappears in favor of a cloth shouldor strap of sightly appearance and useful in keeping cross-belts in place. For fatigue and other pur- one a smart, navy blue blouse, plaited on the reasts and gathered in by a waist belt, is oo fi i of the present slouchy nondescript he trousers of all generais and their staff om- cers are to Le dark blue and with trimming of any kind. Regimental oficers are to wear light blue, with wide, welted stripes, the color of their respect ive arms of seryice, THE ANTIQUATED STOCK disappears from the nomenclature of the army, and that utter desolation and abomination—the black felt hat—is retained on the list, merely for oMicers to “knock about” in at their option. General and staff officers are to wear the French chapeau, with ostrich plume, on dress occasions; mounted corpa a black felt heimet, with gold trimmings and hair plumes, and marching corps a dress cap, with up- right plume of cock’s feathers—red for artillery and white for infantry. Foot soldiers will wear pom- pons instead of plumes. Mounted troops may wear joestel troopers’ top boots and sashes and epau- jettes are abolished for all but general officers, THK OVFICER’S BLACK LEATHER BELT isenriched by gilt banding and braiding, and the smail, straight, staf sword prescribed for the entinfantry pattern. Gilt Russian shoulder knots are to be worn by all except general officers, and staff officers and regimental adjutants are to wear an aguillette with the right shoalder knot. When- ever shoulder knots are not worn the present shoulder strap is to be displayed. Ornaments likely to draw the fire of sharpshooters may be left off in the fleld, and soldiers’ overcoats may be worn by ofticers in'ac actual service, but the BUTTONS, STRIPES AND SHOULDER STRAPS are not to be dispensed with. Generai oflicers re- tain (se) “cloak overcoat,” but otners are to wear double-breasted coats with movable capes, or sol- diers’ coats as above mentioned. ‘The enlisted force of “Old Probabilities” are to appear as cavalry on occasions of ceremony, but with distinctive insignia and ornaments of thelr own, Among MINOR CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS are the introduction of felt saddle cloths and the promise of fabrics for the soldier’s uniform adapted wo differing tem; ae eae vat with many beneticial modifications of the various kinds of equip- ments and accoutrements. A check is put upon the eccentric dandyism and rbot 4 eo to some extent crept into ot regular and volunteer service during war, by forbidding the wearing of anything but ie. strict reguiation dress on duty, and 80 banish those wonderful make-ups that have so often in the ast left the beholders in doubt as to who and what iy hey had within the range of their vision. A strict construction of this rule will put into uniform the many officers on bureau duty at Washington or stationed at the military establishments In other cities and towns, and who now, like the generation of British officers since Waterloo, affect to prefer being in “‘mufti" to appearing in regimeutals. Officers can don their new trappings as soon as they please, and must report themselves aa fully equipped by boca are’ day of next December. NEW YORK CITY.
