Tt witt be seen by our reports of the proceedings nl Congress to-day that Senator Cole has intro. duced a bill providing for the ‘substitution of ‘United States notes or grcenbacks in place of mational bank notes. This measure is what the ‘country requires, The substitution would save the people about twenty millions of taxes an- nually. If the paper currency were all green- Dacca the government coulc buy in and cancel :$360,000,000 of the five-twenties and save the in- terest. On motion of Senator Wright the Finance Committee were instructed to inquire into the ex- pediency of @ further issue of United States notes, MONEY STRINGENT. ‘The money market was stringent and the brokers were compelied to pay extravagant rates for forties, registered, 1093¢ a 109%; do. do., coupon, 109% a 100%; do. fives of 1881, regiatered, 111 a 112; do. do., coupon, 1114¢ a 112, STOCKS WEAK AND LOWER. The stock market opencd strong, and for the first hour underwent a general improvement of a 4s per cent, with, in the case of “C. C. and I. C.,’” a smart advance of 1} percent upon the closing quotation of the previous day. But here Pacific Mail was again hammered by the clique and began to decline, winding up with @ fall from 86 to 82. Rock Island, under clique manipulation, was also run down and went “off” to 112%, the decline in- spiring fears that the company were éelling new stock. Western Union Telegraph declined to 76%,, heavy sales being made for parties whose views of the future of the stock have wonderfully changed since Postmaster General Creswell's assertion that a new line, tm. mevery way a. improved duplicate. of the Western Tnion, Could be built by the “govern- Ment for ten to twelve millions of dollars. “0, C. and I, C." receded in this point of depression to 34. ‘The decline in the rest of the list was only a % per cent, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES, The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the day :— Highest.

Again, the “bull” cliques in general are | 25 t 50 di “equeening” money in order to get stocks out of ‘Weak hands and load up for the “January rise.” | » And lastly, the pool in the Gold Room finding there waa littio or no “short” interest in that market, ‘were compelled to lodge their gold with the insur- ano6, trust and other outside institutions and some ‘of the banks and pay heavy “shaves” to have it carried.

Fripay, Dec, 6—6 P. M. The trade movement was slower to-day and the merchandise markets were generally very quiet, but as @ general rule commercial values were about the same. The export movement was still retarded by the scarcity of tonnage, yet the de- mand was not sufficiently active to carry up the rates either of freights or charters to any appre- clable degree. There was apparently but little dis- position to effect large transactions either on or off ’Change, and the volume of business was small. At the Produce Exchange flour was dull and heavy, though prices were not quotably lower. Wheat was dull, the marked = im- provement in prices established yesterday caus- ing a decidedly firmer feeling in the market, and holders demanded a turtner advance, which, how ever, was not paid, the market closing dull at about yesterday's figures. Corn was dull and almost nominal, buyers and sellers being about ic. apart in their views. Whiskey was still very firm at the outside price of yesterday. The deadlock in pork remained unbroken, and prices were still merely nominal. Lard was still dull and heavy. Groceries continued quiet, but there was no perceptible change in prices. Petroleum met with more dimand for the raw material, but rerinea remained dull and nominal. Spirits of turpentine was quiet. Likewise rosin, which ruled easier. East India goods were quiet and nominally unchanged. Metals attracted but little attention aside from moderate sales of copper.

Will | Peruvian Excitement Against Japam sud Government Complications from the Coolie Trade. + Tho Case of tho Ship Maria Las May Becoma @ Casus Belli in Asia—Lima Views of the Mikado as a Liberator—A Special Perav- ian Embassy to the East—Tho Frigate Independencia Mannod as an Aid to the Diplomacy. Lima, Nov. 1% 1872, The Peruvian mind ts very scrtonsly exercwed Over the news recently received from Japan reta- tive to the treatment of the captain of the coolia ship Maria Lug, The facts ofthe case are simply these :— The vessel with her live cargo loft Macao foe Callao direct, but, having encountered heavy gales and stormy weather, put tnto a Japanese port im distress for repairs. While these repairs were being effected one of the coolies escaped, reached the shore and made acomplaint to the Japanese authorities of cruelty at the hands of the captain, alleging at the same time that he was being com veyed to Peru against his consent. Assuming the story of the Chinaman to be correct the authoriios proceeded to act. ALL THE COoLIRS on board were brought by force to land and were declared free. The captain, on protesting, waa sentenced to either 100 lashes or to 100 days’ im- Prisonment as he might prefer; and here the story ends, ag the ateamer bringing the news [eft the scene of conflict at this point. THR PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT is more than indignant. The coolles were alten gaged by contract in Macao, the papers wero pro- nounced legal by the Governor and Consuls at thas place and the coolies themselves had signed the necessary documents and received the customary advance, The traffic, commonly called the coolie trade, while denounced by foreign nations, is per- mitted by the Portugese holding the port of de- parture and by the Peruvians receiving the imml- grants. The vessel carried the Peruvian fag and only entered the Japanese harbor to repair the damage she had suffered during the gate, The captain ia an officer of the regwar Peruvian navy, temporarily employed in command of the Marta Lua, THE CONTRACT was entered into tn a toreign country betweem parties in no way amenabte to the rugulations of Japan, and the vesset being in Japanese waters purely through fortuitous circumstances was en- titled tothe protection and consideration asorded by international regulations. Had the coolies beem taken from the Empire of Japan the case woul assume, say the Peruvians, a totally dierent aspect, But Japan, taking to herself the province ofan arbitrator in an affair foreign toher rights or even interest, places herself in an unenviable light, The Consuls resident in Yokohama protested energetically against the proceedings of the Japan- ese tribunals, the English Chargé d’Affaires, Mr. Watson, alone upholding the action of Japan. The Peruvian government having no- repre- sentative at the scene of the occurrence has pin as evidence the relation published in the Heratd of the 7th of September fast, and is Now vaving the account translated into Spanish for the | information of the public. But in the meantime OTHER STEPS are being taken. The embassy to be bites be Peru to China and Japau leaves here um ihe inst,, and Captain Garcia ia, the chief of ‘the mission, brother of the e former Min Minister from Peru to the United States, Dr. i Garcla, will be fully instructed: must pursue. ‘the Japanese government will be requested to make the necessary explanations and reparation for the damage caused by its condaot. OAPTAIN GARCIA WILL SAlL in the Independencia, a formidable iron-clad frigate, mounting sixteen heavy guns, and con- structed by Samuda, on the Thames, in’ 1865. We are here unaware of the force of the Japanese navy; but should the matter prove serious it is sant’ that the intrepid “Japs” will Gnd a tough an- tagonist in the frigate. | _ tt ts sincerely hoped here that the affair can be | satisfactorily settled by Captain Garcia without re- | ta Ce oy pu he offence admi\# of no | arringemene with out & “change of base” ou We | | | part of His Majesty the Mikado. it ig understood that through the EFFORTS OF TAK BRUTSH LEGATION Hopkin of the Japanese government was ha cued and strengthened, POPULAR PROGRESS FOR HOME REFORM. With the exception of this unfortunate entangles , ment there is nothing of importance to commu- nicate. Engroased by the labors’ of @ wholesale and radical reform the President and Cor work night and day, endeavoring to place the country upon what they consider to be @ solid basis. Great interest ix taken by the people in ti progress of the scheme, and more especially in that portion of it relating to the increase of the revenue. The promises of the government, however, that direct taxation will, in no instance, be resorted to, | calms the popular mind. A distinguished Senator remarked in Congress the other day that every time Arequipa hears the word “taxes” she cleans her rife and makes ready for battle. But netther Arequipa nor Lima need look to thetr arms, the ~ ixeculive is perfectly acquainted with the char- acter of the people with whoin it has to deat, INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. The railways and other public works progresa steadily towards completion. The good faith of the nation being pledged to their suecessful termination, Mr. Pardo and his advisers lose ro opportunity to hasten their onward march. ‘The great viaduot om the Oroya line at Verrugas, the highest in the world, the centre span reaching to a height of 258 feet, is now wnt D Yona in position. ‘The step | ant railroad from Lio to Moquequa, in the Sout | completed, and the inhabitants of that section ro | jubilant over the advance in the value of their | lanas and products, | | fhe country is steadily settling down to serious | work. For s0me months a scarcity of mouey wilt be apparent, but on the establishment of Mr. | Pardo’s equilibrium between the ncoans and ex- penditure the diMeuity will be remedied, | The Question of Charch and State and | Freedom of the Presi | (from the Panama Herald, Nov. 25.] According to the last news from'Peru we are tm formed that the Church authorities im Lima had | petitioned or rather demanded that the Sonar. ment should suppress one of the Lima new: the Journal du Peru, on the plea of its attacked the dogmas and prine! ples ot the Homan atholte religion. The Keg St it was alleged, was made in obedience to the constitution and penal laws of Pera. The Fiscal Minister, towhom the question had been submitted, gave as bis opin- hion that the constitution and la’ Reh ng mar expressly forbid such a procedure.

Sefor Pardo, in lis famous financial message to Congress, whiie explaining his review concerning | the necessary equiibrium between revenue at ; @xpendituge, touched upon the Custous House ay: | tem as one of his principal bases of action, {| waa | well understood by the people from the dotaits entered inte by the pre een that the proceeds of the guano sales were ore for the religious fuldiment of all foreign obligations, and that con- sequently no further assistance couldt be hoped for trom that hitherto prolific souree, Conse- quently indirect taxation and the graduai increase of custom duties were to be re- garded as the allies of the exchequer, From the omMvial returns made by the didereas port collectors throughout the Repudite tt doew not appear that any very considerable augmenta- tion of the present auties will be necessary. The increase of revenue from the Customs House is as- tonishing. In 1868 it was found that about five miliions of soles were annually derived by the gov- ernment from the duties on i ted goods, ant now one Custoin House alone—!hat of Caileo—s producing an income to the government of greater amouot than all of these estabashments the yeur mentioned, Pera can now, wiih the new | tari@, which will shortly be approved by Cs | count upow foom vine to eleven milliona af soles anmwanily from her Crstom House receipt, ‘ SHIPPING DISASTHRS.
