But as the day advanced the supply became better, and by three o’clock balances had loaned down to as low as 4 per cent, with more offered to the close onthe same terms, The strong position of the Danke, showing as they did in last Saturday’s statement a surplus reserve (not revenue, as the types made it) of over $8,000,000, has almost dissi- pated every fear of stringent moncy, at least until AFTER ELECTION ‘or until near the close of December, when in wind- Ing up accounts for the year there may be a tem- porary spasm of activity, onlyto be succeeded by greater ease and relaxation when the January dis- bursements of interest and dividends shall come upon the market to the extent Of sixty to seventy millions of dollars, In this connection the question is being discussed whether mext Saturday’s bank statement will not show a Joss in reserve again, But such a result is hardly probable in view of the prepayment commenced to-day of the November coin interest on the public Gebt, nearly every dollar of which goes into the banks to SWELL THRIR RESERVES, the amount paid out to-day having been abouta million and aquarter of dollars, It is true the November coupons belong largely on the other side Of the Atlantic, but they must be sent here for col- jection, and every steamer for the ensuing month ‘will bring them. The gold, however, will stay here as long a8 exchange is in its present position, below the specie-shipping point. Besides, tne demand for currency from the interior has greatly slackened. We already pointed out, several weeks ago, that the establishment of co many NEW BANKS im the West and Southwest had greatly modified nd moderated the demand for currency from those regions, and would continue to do so each recurring year in the future. Indeed, had not a Bpecial “‘locking-up’’ conspiracy been organized by the “bear” cliques operating for a decline in prices at the Stock Exchange, it 1s possibie we should Bave had nothing more than a fairly active seven per cent money market this Fall. As it is the banks hold a surplus of remarkable extent for this season ofthe year. The confidence in the future ‘would be perfect dia not the daily cable despatches from THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC Keep up the apprehension of some undefined trouble in the future. Thus the London telegrams this morning predicted @ raising of the bank rate, ‘but had subsequently to acknowledge that nothing ‘Was done with it. Our bonds were weak for some reason early in the day, probably on account of the agitation by the boards of trade and mercantile meetings in several of our cities of the movement for the reissue by the Treasury Department of the $44,000,000 OF LEGAL TENDERS contracted in tne time of Secretary McCulloch, While such a procedure would be illegal, both under the law regulating the amount of currency and under the rulings of the legal tender decis- fon of the Supreme Court, it would hardly be de- fogatory to the government credit, for the reason that it is intended the new issue should ve applied to paying in the bonded debt of the United States, enabling a saving to the government of six per cent per annum on the amount so to be bought. Possi- biy it was this explanation that caused a later pally and recovery in OUR BONDS IN LONDON totheir opening figures. This improvement was g@ccompanied by better quotations, also, for con- suls, showing that whatever influence is at work the London market was steadier tonight than in the forenoon. The cable was silent to-day about the reported transfer of money from the Bank of France to the Bank of England, and the entire statement is now doubted, although it came to a Wall street news agency from’a reliable correspondent on the other fide. Foreign exchange was nominally the same, butactual business was at a quarter per cent ne- jow asking quotations. Prime paper was quoted 9 a 12 per cent discount. THR RAILROAD BONDS ACTIVE. ‘The active inquiry ior and growing business daily in the railroad bonds refiect the transferring {nto these securities for temporary investment of mercantile and other capital which, by the approach of the Winter season, is undergoing gradual re- lease from employment in its usual channels, ‘There are many merchants in this city who make a Practice of buying railroad bonds at this or a later ®eason of the year and holding them over until Spring, when they sell out and put the money into their business again. When it is remembered that im the distant future government bonds will be ‘t00 scarce and too high to supply a popular vehicle for the investment of trust and other moneys, a. } that first mortgage bonds on first class railroads must become the great investment of the country, the safety of this semi-speculation of our mer- chants will be readily perceived. Indeed, with the yearly growth in the wealth of the country and @ith the prospect of the cancellation of the entire ational debt within the next twenty years (to put It a long way off), THE AMERICAN RAILROAD BOND gust become a favorite and prime investment ith us and with our hosts of admirers all over Europe, especially as they have @ ready market at all times at the Stock Exchange and can be con- gerted into cash without the dgjay attending oil) NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, “OUTUBER 22, 1872.—TRLPLE SHEET.

The gold market opened strong, owing to the an- ticipation of a raising of the Bank of England dis- count rate, and advanced te 118%, but declined to 112% when it was reported no alteration had been made, The decline was assisted by sales of gold received from the Sub-Treasury for November in- terest, the presence of which in the market caused a sudden heaviness in cash gold, The market re- acted to and closed at 113%, after a great deal of intermediate fuctuation, The following were THE PRINCIPAL QUOTATIONS: 11:10 A.

The stock market was buoyant and strong, with further advance in prices, The bullish sentiment seemed thoroughly reassured by the character of Saturday's bank statement, and by the unclouded fature of the money market generally. The agita- tion of the movement for a reissue of $44,000,000 of legal tenders had also much to do with inspiring the speculation for a rise, especially as it proposed not toimfate the currency, but to exchange the new greenbacks for another form of the national indebtedness, The chief activity was in Pacific Mail, which advanced to 103; Western Union Tel- egraph, which rose to 814, and Northwestern, which touched 7514. The ‘bull’ cliques appear to be working in unison and harmony. The story is circulated that they intend to take up the leading specialties one after another, as they have the Pacific Mail and Western Union, and mark them up ten, twenty or thirty per cent against the great influx of popular speculation, which is expected when General Grant ts certainly re-elected, and when the easy and abundant money of next Winter tempts the public into Wall street. The improve- ment in the market outside the features men- tloned was about one per cent. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

Monpay, Oct. 21-6 P, M. The week opens with a moderately active move- ment in trade circles, and with a fair prospect of a good aggregate business for the week. The firm- ness in the gold premium renders the markets steady, a8 a general rule, and there would seem to be no likelihood of any radical fluctuations in the immediate future. Confidence is reassured, and business seems to have settled down once more and to be again controlled by demand and supply—the only legitimate basis upon which trade can be founded. The markets to-day were without especial change and there were few noteworthy occurrences out of the ordinary line. On ’Change there was a fair movement in most of the principal commodities and @ fair amount of business was chronicled. Flour was dull. Wheat was steady. Corn was dull and heavy. Pork and lard were slightly better. Cotton ‘Was in active demand for “spot” and the market firm. Groceries remained very strong, but were generally quiet, excepting for coffee, which con- tinued to attract considerable attention. In the petroleum market there was an unusual lively busi- ness, and the increased demand warranted holders in asking higher prices, which were freely paid at the close, Naval stores were dull and unchanged, except ing for spirits, which closed nominally easier. Whiskey remained firm. Correx.—There was considerable activity in Rio, but other descriptions wero quiet, The market, however, was very strong throughout. We note sales of 1,637 bags ex South America and 4,200 bags ex Nautilus to arrive at Baltimore, both on private terms. i Several ‘Peuskelions were pending, but Hot definitely closed at a late hour.
