FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Slight Improvement in Wall Street Prices. GOLD DOWN TO 106 1-8. The Money Market Stringent and Foreign Exchanges Demoralized. - THE SITUATION ANALYZED. Can We Expect Much Improvement While There Is So Much Distrust? i HOISTED BY OUR OWN PETARD. Government, Railroad Bonds and Mis- cellaneous Securities, WALL SrRrer, THURSDAY, Nov. 6—6 P. M. The stock market to-day exhibited another of those sharp reactions from depression which, from their occasional recurrence, have become almost @ part of the law of the street. The causes that imduced the advance are not dissimilar to those with which the speculative commanity are already familiar. Chief among them was the fact that the market had been oversold, and there were still present remnants of the old full interest—a class of gentlemen who—their horoscope having been xed on values much higher than those at present quoted—seem to believe that because STOCKS ARE LOWER than they ever anticipated stocks are, therefore’ @ow apurchase. Their reasoning, however, is of much the same kind as that applied to the market last year, when the same parties bought, say, Pacific Mail at 80 and 70, because it had previously wold at 103, On the other and, there ure scores of “bears’’ who take a not less unreasonable view of the situation, and, in ‘selling that which they do Qot own,” court loss and demoralization, and com- pel just such @ market as has been seen to-day. This result is a natural product of the efforts made tw TEAR DOWN OREDIT, to make things appear worse than they really are and to create ruin. The market, being leit to itself, has reacted. To-morrow or on Saturday it may come again within the influence of the opposite party, and the fluctuation will, perhaps, be just as irregular and painful to the now successful bulls. These weekly episodes of Wall street can have but Uittle influence on the country at large, and it should be a matter of smali concern to the general reader whether this security or the other is “up” or “down.” It is enough to know that there is NOTHING IN THE SITUATION which practically adds to its strength or weakness. Affairs remain about the same as on yesterday. The process of liquidation by various corporations and individuals is by no means completed, and not small array of fresh factsis awaiting a christen- ang. What is needed to lift the vast volume of stocks and give them tone is outside money; but, wince the opening of the Stock Exchange, such has been the unhappy expertence of the average Operator in secing prices recede insteaa of ad- vance, in watching dividend-paying stocks practi- cally asserting no more financial dignity than the cheapest on the list, in observing what have been considered “CRYSTALLIZED SECURITIES” suffering like any other football of the street, that there is little disposition to trust to mere luck, or to make a demonstration on the market meant ‘to have an existence more than twenty-four hours long. It 1s not dificult to analyze the local condi- tion. There are no leaders, There is little money. Everybody is waiting for lowest prices. What seemed to be “lowest prices” have heretofore been followea by decline; and, practically, it 13 nly men who possess cash, courage, patience and the determination to Ite down on their stocks and hold them, come weal or come woe, who in the end will secure substantial profit. While THE GENERAL CONDITION efthe country remains unsettled, while the tele- graph brings its daily report from every portion of America and Europe descriptive of extending distrust, of money locked up, factories closed, dusiness suspended, laborers out of employment, industries idle and a cessation of productive power, it is scarcely reasonable to expect much permanent change in any phase of speculation. Nay, may we not rather anticipate in all depart- ments of trade even more o1 contraction, and a general adaptation of means to possible ends, even though sacrifice may be the immediate result and & necessary precedent to the maintenance of general and individual credit? We have abiding faith in THE FUTURE ofthe country. It is impossible to ignore its latent and active wealth, its resources and power; but what can even a nation do wien distrust becomes the autocrat of the hour, and the entire circnlating representative of public faith, in the shape of cur- rency, notes and open accounts, amounting in the Aggregate to thousands of millions of dollars, weakens and becomes suspicious ? VARIOUS REPORTS ‘were in circulation to-day concerning the embar- Fassment of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, but on application at headquarters, they were ofl- @ially denied. No action has been taken with ref- erence to a dividend, aniit is now said that the directors will meet to-morrow to decide the ques- tion. Itis intimated that the dividend of 5 per cent will be made in scrip. The following quota- tions were current in Philadelphia to-day Penn- sylvania sixes, 107; Reading Raliroad, 49; Philadel- pPhia and Erie Raliroad, 14; Pennsylvania Rail- road, 42, THE STOCK MARKET. ‘The largest transactions to-day were in Western Union; Lake Shore and New York Central. Erie e@hares were exceptionally weak, the common declin- ing from 395; to 38% and the preferred from 63% to 49. Inthe afternoon the former rallied to 29% Panama advanced trom 77 }¢ to 81, Delaware, Lacka- “wanna and Western from 81% to 82}, Consolida- tion Coal from 39 to 403, and United States Express from 48 to 4914. The other fluctuations are given in our usual tables, We learn that the Panama Railroad Company are preparing a statement of their affairs which is to be submitted te the Stock Exchange. The statement is said to be eminently Satisfactory and instructive. If other great cor- Porations will follow the example we shall have less of unjust criticism, more of truth and more of honest specuiation, THE BANKS. ‘The banks of the city continue to show again in legal tenders. They now hold $21,000,000—an in- crease of about $1,000,000 since yesterday. The oposite of the Central National Bank are said to have been reduced to $2,250,000, and the capitel is tobe reduced to $2,000,000, Itis also stated that the bank wasa debtor to the Clearing House to- day, but presented securities and took out loan certificates. As hasbeen urged before, this is no time for whitewashing, and much as the associated banks may strive to support those of their num- ‘ber who are Weak--as they say they will—the pub- No will continue to feel distenst untit these insti- tutions resume their reports on @ revised plan and tell that pubiic the truth, however disagree- able it may be, We want to know how many more banks will be compelled to reduce their capital by a million of dollars and meanwhile sereen themselves behind the doors of the Clearing House Associa- ‘tion, THE MONEY MARKET. MEney still remains stringent, and, after loaning At 1-16 a 1-32, closed at 7 per cent. Foreign exchange was dull and decidedly lower, closing ut 105 for prime bankers’ sixty days’ ster- Ung, 10446 & 104% Jor goOd bankers’, 1074 @ 108 for NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, Pernt and 108 sor vane rransiers, Signt oUis were comparatively steady, as bankers generally are not disposed to draw freely. Commercial bills were very dull at 10344 @ 104 on bankers and 102 to 10354 on merchants.

The decline to-day was from 107 to 106%, with closing rates at 10614. The rates paid for carrying to-day were 3-64, 1-32, 1-16, 7, 6 and 7 per cent. The final rate was 6 per cent. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank to-day were as follows :— Gold balances.. Currency balances, 1,727,304 Gross clearances 46,105,000 Government bonds are weak, with a further de- cline, in sympathy with gold.

The Hibernian, for Bt. Johns, N, F., and Halifax, took $168,000 in bul- lion, THE UNITED STATES TREASURY. The receipts from customs to-day were $206,000, The Assistant Treasurer paid out $240,000 on ac- count of interest, and $59,000 in redemption of five-twenty bonds, The following were the balances in the Treasury at Washington at the closo of business to-day:—Ourrency, $2,700,000; coin, $73,100,000; certificates, $27,950,000; outstanding legal tenders, $360,980,000. The total amount of foreign gold received at the United States Assay oMfice, since October 6, 18 £1,851,825; £50,000 were received to-day. GOVERNMENT BONDS, Government bonds closed steady in tone, though prices were at the lowest point of the day, We quote :—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 111 a 111%; do, do., coupon, 1123¢ a 112%; do. five- twenties, 1862, coupon, 1053; do. do., 1864, do., 10634 @ 107; do. do., 1865, do., 10714 2108; do. do., 1865, do., new, 1003s a 10914; do. do., 1867, coupons, 110g @ 111; do., 1868, do., 110 a 11034; do. ten- forties, registered, 10515 a 106; do. do,, coupon, 10534; do. do., fives, 1831, coupon, 10634107; six per cent bonds Pacific Railroad, 109 a 10934. THE FOREIGN MARKET, Late cable advices state that £16,000 was with- drawn from the Bank of England to-day for ship- ment to New York. The bullion in the bank has de- creased £73,000 during the past week, The amount gone into the bank on balance to-day is £42,000, Contrary to expectation, no further advance was made in the rate of discount by the directors at their regular weekly meeting to-day. American securities were irregular, Erle was especially weak and suffered a sharp decline to 33%, rallying at the close, however, to 3444. This depression in London, following so closely on the heels of the reports circulated in New York yesterday concern- ing the condition of the house of Bischoffscheim & Oo., is somewhat remarkable. It is but just to state that the rumors reierred to were not corroborated. The closing quotations are as follows:—Consols for money, 92'4; for the ac- count, 925, a 92%; five-twenty bonds of 1865 (old), 9855 1867's, 965; ten-forty bonds, 9034; new fives, 90; Erie, 34%.

At Paris rentes were buoyant and ad- vanced to 57f. 20c. The Bank of France gained 6,000,000f. during the week. RAILROAD BONDS. Railroad bonds continue weak, the decline being particularly marked in the Pacific mortgages, Centrals having touched 81; Union firsts, 65; land granis, 57, and incomes, 41}.

THURSDAY, Novy. 6—6 P. M. The merchandise markets were rendered still more irregular and. nominal to-day by the further marked recession of the gold premium and the growing Impression begotten thereby that it will steadily decline to par and the great problem oP “specie payments’ thus become solved. This possibility was the all-engrossing topic of discus- sion in commercial circles to-day, and the hope was all but universal that this consummation might be reached through the existing chaos. The markets were more unsettled than ever to-day and im some deparcments of trade there was no such thing as arriving at any aefinite idea as to commercial values, and one guess Was regarded as about as good as another. In other departments prices were decidedly lower. “OOhange cotton was lower. Flour was dull, unsettled and decidedly lower. Wheat was also much lower, with amoderate movement at the decline. orn was also Jower, but with more doing at the decline, Oats were steady. Whiskey wasa little easier. Pork was nomi- nal. Lard waseasier, Petroleum was decidedly lower. Freighta were steady. Naval siored Were dull and jower, butto@ great extent nominal.

For tu‘ure deliveries the mar- Ket ruled more active, but at irregular and decidedly lower prices, tae general sales showing a decline of %¢.
