If any one desires to enjoy the luxyry of being lassooed, dragged into the bull ring of Wall street and artistically butchered for the benefit of a score or so of speculators, now is @ good time. The market is in a favorable condition for a first class slaughter, The price of almost every fancy stock that can be named accords unnaturally with the actual condition of commerce, is above its intrin- Bic Value aS measured by the pending exigency, and possesses few symptoms of stability that can invite permanent investment. In brief, Wall Street is at the present moment under the control ofaring that is making prices for two or three Btocks to suit itself, which prices, through a sym- pathy that has ever been inexplicable, give a cer- tain tone to the remainder of the market, and AN APPEARANCE OP STRENGTH. If we had recovered from the crisis; if the banks were able to afford all instead of part of the accommodations required of them; if there were no merchants in our midst pleading for relief, and no representative men from the West and South thronging the metropolis as the financial centre of America, to urge with vain endeavor that some thing suall be done to move the great staples of the country; if factories were not running on half time, and mines pouring out but a fraction of their wealth; if business had not been checked; cur- rency were not worth 1 percent premium; and the whole machinery of trade was not clogged, out of order, and dependent on accidents that may oc- cur from day to day, the present con- dition of the stock market might be natural, be deemed strong, and replete with | ATTRACTIVE FEATURES. But what sane man can take his morning paper in one hand, with its records of rottennesa cover- ing every pdrtion of the country, its stories o: de- falcation and monetary weakness, its official state- ments from local banks and National Treasury, and, with the other, pour thousands of doglars into | a Wall street maelstrom that is made to whirl simply at the bidding of a few? There is no use in disguising facts, and it is not the province of this department to do so; and when we see men from hour to hour and day to day losing their little all because they think they have “points,”’ and this stock or that is full of strength, when it is only A SYNONYM FOR WEAKNESS, it is but just to utteraword of warning. Hence, we reiterate, thig is no time for the outside public to speculate. Prices have not touched bottom. The broker onthe floor of the Stock Exchange may make his one or two per cent in the sudden fluctuations of an hour, but this very feature of instability is that which should deter the use of capital by any but a gambler willing to stake his | Capital stock......... ending September 27 were :—New York, $2,504,038 ; Philadelphia, $113,912; Boston, $335,722, THE PORBIGN MARKET.

Changing the theme, it is agreeable to announce an improved feeling in the commercial community, resulting from the increased facilities which are being extended bythe banks, The latter, how- ever, still suffer from a “lock up” in private hands | 30 of millions of currency and the derangement incl- dent to a premium of one per cent or more on le- galtenders. It is estimated that from ten to tif teen millions of dollars are held by the savings banks of the clty—an amount which, turned into the usual channels of trade, would largely aid in bringing the monetary stringency to a foeus, How | to get it there with profit to allis a question that has not yet been decided. It is also noteworthy thatthe banks have somewhat restricted «their business with brokers and are more inclined to deal generously with legitimate trade—a policy Which may eventually force the stock brokers to establish a clearing house of their own. subject is now under consideration, and it is by no | meaus improbable that the question will be de- cided tn favor of independent action. The early transactions in money to-day were at the rate of 7 percent currency and gold. hardened and the closing rate was 1-164 '; per diem, FOREIGN EXCHANGE ‘was lower to-day, in consequence of the unusual exportations of produce, the nominal prices being 107 a 108, with actual dealings at 106% for prime bankers’ 60 days’ sterling and 107 for sight.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 8—6 P. M, Business was fairly active to-day in most of the leading commodities, and the markets, as a general thing, were steady, despite the lower ruling of gold. On’Change four was quict, but held with increased confidence, especially shipping grades, Wheat was in moderate demand for export, and | prices were again dearer, There was more disposi- tion to buy at yesterday’s figures, but the advance checked the demand and business was moderate. Corn was still neglected and prices favored the buyer. Oats were still scarce, and, being in good request, prices again advanced, Pork remained entirely nominal. Lard was easier, and there was less disposition to buy, even at the reduced prices, There was afurther concession in grain freights, but rates were still ata high figure. Groceries remained qniet, but values underwent no particular change. Petroleum was quiet and steady. Naval stores were but moderately sought after, and prices ruled about steady. ton Was rather easter, both for spot and future, Whiskey was dull and lower. Cortox.—On the low grades holders submitted to con- cessions, which enabled exporters to purchase more freely, The sales for spinning purposes were at about former prices and the general market was steady. Tne market for future deliveries opened firm and an improve- ment of 1-léc, per Ib. was established, the advance being caused by reports of frost at the South, which subs sequently proved. however, w be ut foundation, and the Inarket ruled easier and closed weak at adeciine per ib. irow the highest point of to-day.

The downtown banks virtually resumed pay- ment of greenbacks yesterday—a novelty which has not been seen for something over two weeks. The step was mainly taken in consequence of the flattering exhibit of legal tenders made at the Clearing House yesterday morning. Mr. Camp, the manager of the Clearing Housa, said that since | the issue of the loan certificates there has not been seen 80 many greenbacks as were seen in the morning when the clearances were made. One of the Wall street bank presidents, who was seen by a HERALD reporter on the subject, said that he thought greenbacks had now become sufficiently numerous to aliow of such @ course being taken withoat danger. In case, however, the pressure became too great the banks would no doubt fall back to the plan which had been followed during the past two weeks as a measure of safety. There seemed to be no reason, he said, why the payment of legal tenders should not go on instead of the system of payment of certified chechs which had prevatied of late. Trade was prosperous; the pro- duce men were paying ior and receiving larger quantities of grain than had been received at any time beiore, ‘The shipments of grain trom the West had been fully 1,000,000 bushels more during the past week than during any week in the story of the aha All this had been paid for in legal tender to the farmers o1 the West, while the shipment of grain to Europe during one week had been over two million bushels, With such commercial prosperity, it was hard to understand why the scarcity of greenbacks should continue. ‘Trade, he thought, was [falling Into its old and nat- ural channels, and this assured the prosperity of the nation and dealt the death blow to any further panic, There appeared to ve none of the suiferin: im mercantile circles which had n so mucl talked about, and as far as his bank was concerned there was no particular avidity to secure green- backs, not by any means such as there was during the panic. OOMPTROLLER'S RECEIPTS.
