‘FINANCIAL AND COMMERELAL| IMPROVEMENT IN STOCKS. The Financial Status Growing Firmer--- Banks Gaining Currency. + THE SUSPENDED MANUFACTURERS. An Explanation of Thoir Troubles and Their Wants-How Long Will Operatives Have to Wait ? + THE SITUATION SUMMED UP. Governments Steady---Money Easy---Railroad Bonds Firm---Highest and Low- est Prices of Stocks. OUR NEW SILVER BASIS. WALL STREET, } TUESDAY, Oct. 23—6 P. M. ‘The stock market to-day showed what 1t woul’ do Af left to itself—untrammelled by rumor and released from the dead weight o: falsehood. It advanced from 34 to 354 per cent. There is money to buy Shares; there is faith in the situation; there are hundreds waiting to put their capital into the street whenever the ‘scalpers”’ are whipped out of the field and legitimate speculation can again pro- eed. Stocks are low. It 18 arisk to sell them. Bears are compelled to contend with an improving condition. The financial status is growing stronger every hour. Banks and brokers confess it. The Suspension by manufacturers is the result of only an incidental phase of the panic. It occurs not from decrease in demand by the individual, nor from decline in the value of work, but almost entirely from COMPLICATIONS WITH BANKS and jobbers. Long credits have been given. Large stocks have been made, Notes and certified checks had to take the place of currency. Hence there has been no money with which to pay labor. ‘Yet these very institutions are full of wealth, rep- Yesent in what they possess a certain tangible Feality, and practically have done no more In their estoppal than to imitate the banks of the country. ‘They are looking to self-protection, and it will not ‘be many weeks—we might as well say days—before the same hopeful influences that have forced banks to resume payment of currency will compel the now suspended factories of the country likewise to set in motion the whirr of their machinery, and re-employ the now idle operatives who are won- ering at a weakness which appears so abnormal. THE SITUATION May be summed up in half a dozen words. There thas been an interruption of trade, but without the ‘Possibility of pauperism; a check to labor, because labor 18 only the representative of currency; a check to currency because of distrust; distrust because of a Wall street scare and a shrinkage of the values of securities held by banks. The latter, ‘therefore, are the corner stone of the situation, and when they begin, as they promise to do, again to pay out currency instead of certified checks, ‘and to throw money into its usual channels, we shall everywhere see, from the humblest worker to -the wealthiest corporation, a return of confidence and & resumption of ordinary and legitimate com- merce. THE SILVER CIRCULATION, The attempt on the part of tie government to introduce silver as a circulating medium 1s re- garded with much interest, because of the singular order from the Secretary of the Treasury which restricts payments by his subordinates to the small sum of $5. The experiment is already de- veloping its results in an eager demand ané a dis- position to horde. Trae, one sees more silver than usual just now, but it is always in men’s pockets, ‘They have received it from the barrooms. Bar- keepers have paid a premium for the coin, and are disbursing it as an attraction. General inquiry Batisfies the writer that there is little disposition to part with a substantial value. In fact, silver has begun to take to itself a price, a premium, and the very scarcity confessed by the Tressury De- partment has brought it suddenly, and perhaps unintentionally, within the scope of the law of supply and demand. Much, therefore, as the pub- lic may sympathize with the effort to make silver again a circulating medium, the want of a sufi- ciency for business uses compels the application of the same business rules to it thatjare attached to gold. Paper credit cannot be bolstered by paper promulgations. Somehow and somewhere it must have a solid foundation. Does a promise to pay $5 in silver to each government creditor make even the mortar with which this substructure is to be built? The disbursement of silver at the Treasury Department to-day amounted to $250, which shows that fifty creditors each received $5! Ifthe Bank 1 England should condescend to announce such a contemptible fact, what a farce it would appear! $250! among 4 million of people. SOUTHERN SECURITIES. The business was 80 slight as to scarcely deserve comment. We note the following as the latest bids :— ‘Missouri sixes, 864; ; Missouri sixes, Hannibal and St. Joseph issue, 85; Tennessee sixes, old, 67%; Virginia sixes, old, 32; Virginia sixes, new, 35; Virginia sixes, consolidated, 48; Virginia sixes, de- ferred, 8; Georgia sixes, 55; South Carolina sixes, 4; South Carolina Fund Act, 1866, 12; Louisiana eights, levee, 58, THE UNION TRUST COMPANY. We have received the following note from Mr. Daniel Torrance, and have oniy to add that it is Of similar import with other communications made on the same subject, It shows how carciessly the names of parties have been used in order to add to the intensity of mere sensationalism :— ONIO AND Mississtrri RAILWay, No, 261 Broapway, NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 1873, To THE FINANCIAL Epitor oF Titk HERALD:— In the first column of the New York Times of to- under the heacing, “Partial List of Over raits,” “Daniel Torrance and associates” are set down as owing the Union Trust Company Eee 63, Regarding the above I have the honor say that the statement is incorrect. ‘Daniel Torres and associates” do not owe, and have never owed, the Union Trust Company one cent, DANIEL TORRANCE, THE FOREIGN MARKET.

Every incident of the financial situation points to stronger prices, and it is doubt- Jess only a want of banking facilities that consti- tutes a bar to large transactions.

In the early nours of the day money ruled at 1-32 @ 1-16 on stock collaterals, afterwards was supplied at 7 per cent, and still later could be had for 4 and Sper cent, the rate being easier than at any time since the panic, The associated banks have gained $1,000,000 in legal tenders since yesterday. The banks now hold in the neighborhood of $14,000,000 legal tenders, Foreign exchange closed weak for bankers’ sixty days’ sterling at 10634 @ 106% and firm for sight at 108. The importers are not remit- ting at present, which explains the present dul- ness of the market. Many importers are using their capital to assist merchants, The business in prime mercantile paper is done on the basis of 18 per cent, with extremes at 12 and 24 per cent. THE GOLD MARKET, No fresh developments were made in the gold market, rates remaining quiet and steady on the basis of 108% @ 10874 as the extremes of tne day. The rates paid for carrying to-day were 7, gold, 1-82, 7 and 6 per cent, and flat for borrowing. The final rate was 6 per cent for carrying. The fuctua- tions were as follows 10 A. M... 3 ius P.M.

TUESDAY, Oct, 28—6 P. M. The merchandise markets were in very much the same condition as yesterday, and there was no | visible betterment to the commercial situation. The Wall street troubles and apprehended troubles | cast their gloomy shadows over commercial centres and exert a continual depressing influence, so that apprehensions are rife everywhere, and the continued scarcity of the “circulating medium’ continues to render the prospect anything bat | promising. On ’Change there was some littic movement in produce, but it did not extend beyond a few of the chief articles which were wanted to meet the current wants of shippers’. Flour was stili dull and in buyers’ favor. Wheat was in more demand, but at reduced prices. The bulk of the receipts were delivered on con- tracis for the last half of October. Corn was steady, With a fair inquiry at unchanged figures Oats were iirly active at unchanged prices. Whiskey was lower, with continued heavy receipts. Pork remained dull and nominal. Lard was easier and hard of sale at that, Naval stores remained firm, spirits of turpentine commanding r r better prices. Petroleum was dull and heavy. Freights were irmer. Groceries remained dull, but prices exhibited no change. Cotton was in {ail request for both spot and futures, but at easier prices Metals were quiet Wool was quiet and easy, but not quotably lower.
