«however, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, WHY MONEY REMAINS SO EASY A Farther Elucidation of the Prob- lem of the Hour. ‘The Fifty-four Million Act and the Dis- tribution of Banking Capital. ‘The Bank Statement Now and a Year Ago. ‘The Situation in Trade and in Wall Street. WALL STREET, Sunpay, September 8, 1372, ‘The Fall trade has fairly begun, as any one under the necessity of threading the downtown thorough. | fares may readily have seen during the past week. The enormous drayage between the mercantile houses and the various depots and shipping points has at times utterly closea many of the streets to foot passengers. The cold spell of the early por- tion of the week seemed to be the signal for busi- ness to commence, and it was one that was promptly obeyed. There being little or no faith in the continuance of the succeeding warm weather, its presence has but slightly retarded the activity of business. A NOTICEABLE FEATURE Of trade this season is greater confiaence of buyers. Doubtless, if the statistics were at hand, it would be seen that the number of tradesmen throughout the country has not increased in the proportion of the previous year, the number of ill ventures in 1871, as reported by the mercantile agencies, hav- tng deterred the opening of new stores. Hence the older merchants and tradesmen have had less competition, and are, therefore, under the neces- sity of laying in larger stocks. It is, of course, a question whether our city trade would not have been larger had the out-of-town trade not been so conservative this year. But there is the consola- tion that while we catch the natural ANNUAL EXPANSION in trade anyhow, we shall make leas bad debts than had the Fall distribution of goods been made toa Jess solid country trade. The reduced cotton pro- duction of our mills during the past year as pre- #ented in the reports of the cotton yield for 1871-72 (down toSeptember 1) sustain directly the do- mestic branch of the dry goods trade and explain the activity of that department, especially as dur- ang the past few weeks there has been a general lowering of prices to a standard more satisfactory ‘to buyers. So far this year we have imported mearly fifty millions more of FOREIGN MERCHANDISE than we imported last year. This amount is greatly 4n excess of our exports for the same period. But ‘while our exports are largely in excess of last year, ‘the deficit is, as usual, made up by heavy exporta- tions of American government and railway bonds, sg0 that were a balance struck to-day it would show dittle or no money as immediately due to settle the difference against us. Hence the future offers mtability in prices as regards domestic dry goods, and suggests no reasonable ground for any embar- rassment in the payment for the great and various amount of goods brought from abroad. As a further sequence of these facts, we = find @ confident feeling among merchants without the sanguine ideas that used to prevail. Fortunes in a year or a few years are not aimed at or aspired to. Business capital is learn- dng to be content with an annual profit something mear the legal rate for money. It is the curious ‘combination of enterprise and caution that enters date THE AVERAGE AMERICAN ‘business man that preserves the national reputa- ‘tion for ‘“smarmess.”” The small percentage of failures, considering the extent of the country and the steady drawback of the shrinkage of the past seven years or since the close of the war and the feaction from paper money inflation, is, we might almost say, indigenous. To help the situation just now we have experi- enced an easy working ofthe money market that has greatly surprised even those who are the slow- est to be alarmed at monetary crises or sensations. During the past week money lenders, inclusive of the national banks and moneyed institutions, have endeavored to work the rate on call upto 7 per cent, but without success. The best done was to get it on several occasions to 6 per cent, but only for exceptional transactions, the real business of the week having been at an average of barely 5 per cent, Perhaps the real average would be most eorrectly stated at 434 PER CENT. At the same time the banks have lost so much of their reserve that they are only about two and a quarter millions ahead of the legal limit. In pre- vious years the announcement of so reduced a surplus would have precipitated stringency. But on Saturday we find money closing at 4 per cent. We have already offered in explanation of this seeming paradox of easy money and poor banks the abundance of private banking capital, both do- mestic and foreign, now employed in Wail @treet. A better reason is to be found, in the distribution of banking facilities under the Fifty-four Million act. ‘Within the past two years, or since the law went into effect, the national banking capital of the West, South and Southwest has increased about $35,000,000. The increase during the year ending ‘Beptember 1, 1872, has been quite close upon $20,000,000. That is, we shall have to send the ‘ural districts $20,000,000 less of money than we ‘had to send last Fall. Thisis the minimum. The $20,000,000 capital has already taken from us at least $4,000,000 of greenbacks for reserve and fif- steen per cent of the deposits, which the $20,000,000 has collected around itself. It is easy to under- ptand, therefore, why the banks hold ; $16,000,000 LESS LEGAL TENDERS ‘Bow than they did a year ago, and {t 1s also as readily comprehensible that this money once gone Into circulation and use in the districts where it is employed we shall not be called upon for it again. (Moreover, the loss in greenbacks is only apparent, asthe banks were accustomed to count in their weserve the several series of three per cents, which ‘were called in and cancelled during the year as fast as the new banks were organized, It will be ‘seen, furthermore, that the deposits now are $26,000,000 less tnan they were a year ago, a fact ‘which strongly confirms our theory of the present ease inthe money market, as well as encourages sthe belief in a comparatively easy money market the ensuing season. The Fifty-four Million bill, as -an influende for the DECENTRALIZATION OF CAPITAL, ‘ought to be a highly popular measure with the most democratic of our politicians, however differ- ent its political origin. It has succeeded already in checking to & great extent the excessive alternate redundancy and scarcity of money at this and other. pointe by causing @ more uniform distribution of ‘banking capital and banking facilities over the country. It is moreover hastening the day of a re- eumption of specie payments, by causing a healthy contraction of the greenback currency, the excess -of which 18 unquestionably the real secret of our continued suspension. THE WEEK 4n Wall street was a quiet one, although there ‘were some important fluctuations in the various markets. Government bonds were corspicuous for @ decline of about one and a half per cent, the result of the usual realizations at this season. Gold ‘was steady until near the close, when it suddenly declined as @ consequence of the strengthening 0 the administration chances for re-election by the momination of a weak opposition State ticket at but almost as suddenly reacted when the | statement revealed so heavy a loss of specie. Stocks fell off under an apprehension of stringen! recovered and advanced at the close The following were the closing quotations Saturday for government bonds:—United States currency sixes, 112 & 112%; do. do., 1881, regts- tered, 118% @ 14; do. do, coupon, 115% a 116; do., five-twenties, registered, May and November, 113% @ 114; do. do., 1862, coupon, do,, 113% 8114; do. do., 1864, do. do, 113% a 114; do. do., 1865, do. do, 114% @ 114%; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 112% a 112%; do. do., 1885, coupon, do., 112% @ 112% ; do. do., 1867, do, do., 112% @ 113; do. do., 1863, do. do., 113% a 113%; do. ten-forties, registered, 107% a 108; do. do., coupon, 107% @ 108; do. fives of 1881, registered, 1103 @ 111; do. do. do., coupon, 110% alll. THE COURSE OF THE GOLD MARKET, The extreme fluctuations daily in the price of gold during the week were as follows :— THE SOUTHERN STATE DONDS. The Southern list was quiet and generally ne- glected. The investment interest in these securi- tles, checked as it has been by the revelations of corrupt financial management in most of the Southern States, is not likely to be revived before the result of the ensuing crop of Fall elections shall offer somé hope of reformation and promise a new departure on the pathway of honesty and econ- omy. About the only feature of the week was a de- cline in the South Carolinas, THE NEW JULY ISSUES falling to 23, but recovering to 24. The following were the closing quotations Saturday for the Southern list, inclusive of prices for the leading Southern railway and municipal bonds:—Tennes- see, eX coupon, 75}, @ 74; do., new, 7334 & 73%; Virginia, ex coupon, 47 @ 50; do,, registered stock, old, 88 @ 42; do. sixes, consolidated bonds, 51 @ 51%; do. do, deferred scrip, 15 a 16; Georgla sixes, 70875; do. sevens, 85 @ 87; North Carolina, ex coupon, 33}, a 35; do., to North Carolina Railroad, 46 9 48; do., funding, 1866, 26 a 27; do. do., 1868, 218 25; do., new, 2034 a 22; do., special tax, 12a 14; Missouri sixes, 92% a 93; do., Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, 91.92; Louisi- ana sixes, 50 a 55; do., new, 48 a 64; do., levee sixes, 50 a 60; do. do., eights, 70 a 75; do. do. eights, 1875, 70 @ 80; Alabama fives, 55 a 60; do. eights, 83a 85; South Carolina sixes, 62a 56; do., new, January and July, 23% a 24; do. do., April and October, 23 a 24; Arkansas sixes, funded, 47 a 52; Mobile and Ohio Railroad sterling, 91 a 92; do, interest eights, 86 a 87; do. second mortgage eights, 75 @ 83; Mississippi Central Railroad first mortgage sevens, 88 a 91; do. second mortgage eights, 84 a 86; New Orleans and Jackson first mortgage, 91 a 92; do, second mortgage, 85 a 87; Memphis and Charleston Railroad first mortgage, 88 a 92; do, second mortgage, 80 a 84; Green- ville and Columbia Railroad, guaranteed by South Carolina, 40 @ 50; Macon and Brunswick Railroad, guaranteed by Georgia, 67 a 70; Memphis City sixes, 53a 55; Savannah City sevens, 85 a 87; New Orleans consols, old, 65 a 72; do. issue, rail- Toads, sixes, 65 @ 72; do. sevens, 65 a 68, THR BANK STATEMENT, The bank statement was unfavorable, in conse- quence chiefly of a loss of nearly three muliions of specie, attributable to the heavy customs payments of the week, which amounted to four millions, The decrease in legal tenders has been, considering the season of the year, quite light. The deposits have fallen off nearly five and a half millions, The statement compares with its predecessor as fol- lows:— Loans. Specie ireuli Deposits. Logal te An analysis of the above shows that the banks now hold only $2,232,525 in excess of the legal re- serve—a loss for the week of $1,908,875, The full statement of the banks for the past two weeks is thus compared and contrasted :— Aug. 31.

The recent articles in the HERALD on the govern- ment of the Blackwell’s Island Penitentiary have caused a healthy reaction in the management. Matters had got to a very bad pass on the Island, Laxity among the Commissioners had caused a con- sequent laxity in the keepers. This fecling had very naturally extended to the prisoners. Escapes were of almost daily occurrence, and there seemed to be no way or manner of stopping them. Warden Fitch exerted himself to the utmost, but without any improvement. Wherever he was present mat- ters went well, but once his back was turned there seemed to be hardly any discipline left, Battles were frequent between the keepers and the con- victs, and generally resulted in an escape or two. As Mr. Brennan observed, the Penitentiary began to be looked upon by the bad classes as a rather JOLLY SUMMER RESIDENCE, All tt took was a short swim when they wanted to get away from it, The escape mania had risen to thirteen in one day, It was plain some radical reformation was needed, when the HERALD articles appeared and roused the Commissioners to extraordinary activity. A spe- clal meeting of the Commissioners was held and a committee was then and there appointed to inquire into the state of affairs at the Penitentiary. The committee consisted of Mr. Frear and General Bowen, One democrat and one republican, The committee made some investigation and found that the trouble at the Penitentiary was just what the HERALD had said—too few keepers for too many prisoners, The Penitentiary, it was reported, was quite inadequately guarded and offered many ready tactlities for the escape of prisoners. The sea wall, extending around the Island, was unguarded on any side, except by four boats, which were liable to be called away at any time, thus giving special temp- tations to the convicts to attemptescape. Without the guard boats the keepers on the Island were TOTALLY POWERLESS ; and where they had charge of so many men, two keepers often being given fifty men to take care of, it was often impossible to even note an escape till the man was subsequently missed from his gang. In addition to this it was found the Penitentiary was largely overcrowded, the number of men 1n- carcerated being something like two hundred more than had ever been in at any one time before. An- other cause of complaint was the small amount of work done by the convicts. The committee stated that tt often found the gangs in almost complete idleness when they should have been doing good work. In relation to the building of workshops on the Island the idea was found to be a useless one. Where criminals were incarcerated as they were in the Penitentiary on short terms averaging two to three months, the establishment of workshops where any skilled mechanical trade should be per- formed would be useless, as the terms were too short to allow the prisoners attaining bn Beenaency: in their work. Workshops would oaly useful with the long-term prisoners, who could learn a trade in their time of service. Of these there are too few to permit the expense of building workshops. In addition to this the cna- racter of the lad was inquired into, and the committee iound that the general character was all that could be desired. Among some of THE OLD KEEPERS who had been dismissed character was sometimes wanting, though the statement that some of them had been in State Prison appears to have had no foundation in fact. The story kad probably obtained ourrency from the prisoners themselves, who would natural# do all they could to damage the character of the men placed over them. One other matter Spucated to the committee to merit its atten- tion—the visitors. It appears that friends and relatives of the prisoners, being allowed to wander around the Island almost as they pleased, often succeeded tn finding out the where- abouts of their friend or relative, and would man- age to drop them notes and letters without the knowledge of the keepers. These notes would con- tain instructions as to the plans matured for thetr escape, teiling the time and hour, &c. This, of course, facilitated escape, @nd was naturally fatal to discipline, On the reception of this report the Board em- powered the committee to act as it best saw fit to remedy the existing state of atfairs, In accordance with this Messrs. Frear and Bowen began their du- ties of reorganization. The first thing done was to resolve upon two deputy wardens, at a salary of $1,200, to reside on the Island, and, besides, to ap- point two extra keepers. 1t was thought that by this means A BENEFICIAL RESULT would be obtained. The idea of appointing two deputy wardens to Mr. Fitch was that they might have power over the other keepers and see that they made the prisoners do their proper quota of work, and the appointment of the two keepers was of course in accordance with the vast increase of the prisoners. Thus far onl; one deputy warden has been appointed—J. T. Couenhopen—who hitherto has been attached to the city prison, The other deputy warden and the Keepers have not yet been appointed, but will be in a day or 80. Already, however, the new system of discipline and the energy shown by the Coinmissioners have worked well. Mr. Brennan stated that yesterday he went to Randall’s Island and saw a gang of the Penitentiary men at work, though neither the keepers nor the convicts saw him. The men were doing all the work tnat could be expected of them, and exerted themselves in a very different manner fvom the old way. Mr. Brennan had no doubt that when the new arrangements were finally perfected matters would go on to the satisfaction of every- body, aud particularly to that of the Commis- sioners, WEW EMIGRANT INSANE ASYLUM. enact The necessity for improved accommodations for insane immigrants has long existed. The refuge and hospital on Ward's Island are large, substan- tially constructed and well adapted to the purposes for which they are used. The building, however occupied by the insane patients, under charge of of the Commissioners of Emigration, ts old, dilapt- dated and in every respect illy adapted for the medical treatment of the unfortunates who are held there. The number of insane persons among newly-arrived foreigners is exceedingly small, but the laws of New York make provision for the support of sick and indigent immigrants for the term of five years after landing. The head tax collected from each and every foreigner who lands at this port creates afund more than sufficient to meet all just and | necessary expenses. It covers all outlays for the benefit of immigrants who may during the period mentioned become unable to support themselves or who may require medical treatment. The city | and State are not chargeable for thelr maintenance and care, The number of insane patients in charge me Some time since it was resolved to erect a building adapted to their aecommodation and calculated to improve | the condition of those who are curable. The original design was to expend a sum of $300,000 on structure, but many delays occurred, from one ther, until finally it was determined eval pavilions, at a cost of $100,000. NDITION OF THA BUILDINGS. The plans aw ted were prepared by Messrs, to put up | Renwick & Sands. They consist of five pavilions, connected by corridors, with a boiler house and physician’s residence. The work haa veen some time 1m . pi ess, and pavilion No. 1 is alread covered in. The other buildings are weil advanced, ‘The site is in the southerm part of Ward's Isiand, | in the midst of @ large open field, and commands a | tine view of the East River and surrounding coun- try. The grounds are to be handsomely enclosed and beautified by plants, trees, shrubbery, &c. Particular pains are to be taken in providing ample space for exercise as well as for the thorough ven- tiation and heating of all the buildings, PAVILIONS AND CORRIDORS. Each of the four pavilions, twenty-feet apart, forming @ distinct building, will be 120 feet by 40 feet, and consist of one story and basement. On the first story will be fifteen cells, 8 feet by 12 feet, making sixty in all. These are arranged on one side and are Well neniven by In front is @ corridor, eight feet wide, running tne entire | length of the pavilion, and lighted by numerous openings looking towards the river. At ane end is @ sun or sitting room for patients, co arranged that the solar rays can be enjoyed for a greater part of the day, and at the other a living room for the keeper. There are to be piavzas extending around each building, which are to be connected by cor- ridors twenty feet long, and which are also to be ‘well lighted by windows. The corridors are to have basements. ore is to be only one entrance to windows. each pavilion, a neces: ary measure, to prevent escapes and avoid a muit! pe ity of keepers, but the corridors are provided with cut-oif doors, which remain open during the day. PAVILION NO. 1. Pavilion No. 1, now about finished, differs from the others. It is three stories high and is to be used in part as offices, reoms for clerks, keepers, &c. There is in it also a large dining Fr pa jum. laundry, in the boller house, ‘The iclan’s forty feet square, and is to be three stories high. PROVISION FOR PATIENTS, The series of duildings present the form of the letter H deprived of about one-fourth of its dimen- sions. The style of architecture is Gothis with pitched roofs, and there are ventilating turrets on each pavilion, Brick and blue stone are the mate- rials used. Two of the pavilions are for males and two for females; the grounds for each sex will be separate. The arti ment of plazzas, corridors and playsrogads the amplest sperrcinitice for the amusement and exercise of the patients. Books and facilities for induiging games and astimes are to be furnished, and It is to be hoped @ unhappy inmates will not want for the best medical treatment. Considering that the somerant fund has been lal in excess of the just pensea attending its inistration, it is time that a suitable building was provided for the care and cure of a class most deserving of its benefits. The asylum will be finished next year. AQUATIC. James O'Neill vs. George B. Englehardt— A Match Between These Noted Oars- men—The Amateur Championship of the United States To Be Decided. Mr. James O'Neil issued a challenge to any ama- teur oarsman in the United States about three months ago. As no one responded to his propo- sition he claimed the title of champion of the United States, and stated that he would be prepared to defend it. Mr. O'Neil’s row- ing record is not very extended, his exploits at the oar being confined to some four or five races rowed with the Mutual and Gulick Clubs, under the auspices of the Hudson Amateur Rowing Associa- tion, and one match race with Mr. Thomas Fearon, of Yonkers, which ended very unsatisfactorily, the race being awarded to Mr. Fearon on a foul, but, as many assert, unjustly ao. All efforts on the part of Mr. O'Neil to get on another match with Mr, Fearon proved futile. George B, Englehardt, of the Seawanhaka Club, is quite @ young man, and was com- paratively unnkown prior to his début in the Hud- son amateur regatta last year. His brilliant suc- cess in the single scull raco of the Schuylkill Navy Tegatta last June brought him prominently before the public, and his name is now familiar to every Oarsman throughout the country. Mr. Richard B. Deeley. who smarted under his defeat reccived at the hands of this new aquatic star at Philadelphia, challenged him, and CMe suffered defeat at his hands on the Pleasant Valley course, on the 28th of August last. It was agreed that the winner of this last race should accept the bold challenge issued by Mr. O'Neil, and Englehardt was not slow to fulfil his promise, as he informed a gentleman who was authorized to act for Mr. O'Neil that he was wiliing to row the latter a friendly race, time and place to be mutually agreed upon. A meeting between the two aspirants for the highest degree of aquatic distinction was arranged, and they met er evening, when tne following conditions were made :— This agreement, made at New York September 7, 1873, between the undersisned, James O'Neil, of Troy, N. ¥., and George B, Englehardt, of Greenpoint, L. Ty shall ov: a mate e to be rowed for the amateur champion- of the United States and a prize. he race to be three miles, with ono turn; each man to have a separate turning stake. ‘The race to take place on the Laureate course at Troy, N. Y., the con- dition for bringing the race on this “course be- ing that Mr. O'Nell agrees to keep the course clear of out. side boats during the race, and in the event of interference by such outside boats the referee shall order the race to be rowed over. Tho generat rules of boat. racing shall govern this race, and no fouling whatever shall be allowed. In the event of a foul the referee shall order tho race to be rowed over again as soon as practica- ble thereafter. Smooth water to be one of the conditions of the race, which shall take place, providing the judges and referee agrce that the water {s sufficiently smooth, on ‘Tuesday, October 15, 1872, between the hours of two and three o'clock in the afternoon. The reteree to be named on the evening preceding the race. The direction which the stakes will be turned to be decided at the same time specitied tor the selected of the referee, 3 O'NEIL, GEORGE B.
