WALL Sraeet, Sunvay, Dee. 7, 1873. } Uistory is evidently repeating itself. The panic Of 1857 subsided with the suspension of the banks -of New York on the 18th of October of that year. Comparative comfort followed and was enjoyed, ; wspecially by those who had success{ully main- “tained the struggle up to that time. Money—that 1s, bank credits—became easy and the immediate future was radiant with promise. Mercantile fatl- ures ceased almost entirely, and the new business ‘was done on a sounder basis than had existed for years, The winter of 1857-53 proved to be dull, but It was hopefully expected that the ensuing spring ‘would witness a thorough revival of trade and the disappearance of THE LAST VESTIGE of the crisis. As events proved, however, these hopes were destined to have little or no fruition, Business firms who had sacrificed every thing to sustain themselves during the panic and had been successful, found themselves in 1858 obliged to succumb to a species of dry rot. Dry rot prevailed everywhere, It advanced at a rate of compound interest that was Incalculavle. The whole struc- ture of trade became infected with it, The banks ot New York afforded an illustration of the situa- tion in their gross clearings for the three years of 1856, 1857 and 1858, We compile the figures from the reports of the New York Clearing House, as follows. The clearings In 1856 amounted to In 1857 amounted to. 226,718, In 1858 amounted to. 756, 664,386 From the foregoing it will be seen that the trade of this city, as represented by the banks, showed @ falling off for the year 1358 of nearly one-half when compared with 1857, and one-third compared ‘With 1856; and it was not until AFTER THE WAR commenced and the government began its tm- mense expenditure for merchandise and the at- tendant inflation of currency, that the clearings again reached the figures of 1857, A simular condl- tion existed in the stock market of that day. Prices continued to decline from the suspension of the Ohio Life and Trust Company until the suspen- sion of the banks, ‘Then the tide of reaction tem- ,Porarily setin, A strong and upward movement Yollowed, and reasons were as plenty as biackber- ries why prices should at once return to former figures. But they did not, The speculation ex- hausted itself and collapsed. THE TRADE OF THE COUNTRY diminished toa degree that prevented the railroads irom earning enough to pay dividends on their stocks, aud, in some cases, they were unable to pay even the interest on their bonded debt. Hence, we find that, in 1859, two years alter the panic, prices were as low, and even lower, than during the panic itself, New York Central, for instance, sold at 69, Hudson River at 30, Erie at 4, Michigan Southern at 4, Reading at and Chicago and Rock Island &t 555%, It 1s also to be remembered in this connection that the policy of ratlroads, prior to 1857, Was not unlike that which has been enforced during the past few years; to wit: issues of stock aWere made to represent real or supposed surplus, and bonds were issued for new construction, ex- tensions, &c., until then, as now, the stocks and debt represented AS MUCH WATER AS REAL PROPERTY. Is there no lesson here for the present? 1s not the condition of affairs we have described similar (nits chief aspects to that which exists at this time? Is the promise of recuperation greater now than then? Nay, Will the trade of the country, however soundit may be, equal for years to come the amount or volume oi that which has passed away? Every prudent man will auswer these questions for himself, and his own experience will teach him that in the face of all the misfortunes that beset the country—the failures, contraction of currency, decline in trade, suspension of miils and workshops and labor unemployed—it is folly to be drawn into the vortex of speculation, and hope that in the general madness of the hour he will be one of the lucky few who extricate them- selves in time to escape the crash of disaster. The stock market is undoubtedly nuoyant and tempting. Fortunes have been made and iost in the recent sharp advance, and possibly still others may be made and lost; but it is unsafe to repose confidence in a market that depends for its strength on the manipulations of the hour and not upon inherent values consistent with the outside situation, The chemists in THAT LABORATORY OF BRAINS AND RUNCOMBE— Congress—got fairly at work during the past week, and have already begun to show us the con- tents of their financial crucibles, A number of propositions have been made having for their ob- ject speedy resumption on the one hand and on the other inflation to any extent that the people desire, It is useless to discuss these until they have reuched maturity, and there is reason to believe that one or more of them may become laws. Nothing, however, cansbe truer in theory than the principle that banking is a trade, and only a trade; and nothing can be more surely established by a larger experience than that a government which interferes with any trade injures that trade. The best thing thata government can do with the money market is to let it take care of itself, except in so far as it may be necessary to STRENGTHEN THE PUBLIC CREDIT and enhance the value of the currency which now constitutes our circulation. As was wisely said by cone of the United States Senators in a recent conversation, “The people who have lost by this Panic are either those who have dangerously ex- tended their business upon the money of others or those who have voluntarily lent their money to $6,906,213, 323 such persons, If you examine all the failures you will find that they are included within these classes. This is a matter beyond legislative relief, All that the law can do is to secure the currency. It cannot say who shall or who shall not receive deposits, or who shall make them, or to whom they shall be lent. Ail Congress can do 1s to require ample security for all currency issued ; to maintain it at par with gold; to guard against artificial scarcity in times of panic, and then to leave all persons iree to buy, sell, barter, exchange, bank, borrow, lend or deposit as they will at their own risk.” This is the whole ques- tlon in @& nutshell. We cannot return to SPECIE PAYMENTS without gold. On the Ist of January, after the payment by the government of its $20,000,000 loan Of 1858-9 and $26,000,000 of interest then due on the public debt, the Treasury will contain only be. tween six and seven millions of gold in excess of what is due to the public and represented by $30,200,000 of certificates. If, a8 has been sug- gested, we attempt to borrow in the markets of the Old World $200,000,000 of gold, it would be fole lowed by @ monetary crisis abroad, from which every productive interest in America would suffer, Regarded from every point of view, indeed, such a pian is impracticable. What we require is some- thing that shall cause the value of THR LEGAL TENDER appreciate to par in gold, This process is now NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1873. silently going on. Already a dollar will buy more than it would have done three months ago. The secret is with the people themselves. They alone hold the philosopher's stone ; its name is Economy. France nas learned its use, and we see with what wonderful power she has been enabled to apply the lesson in the payment of her monster indem- nity toGermany. The balance of trade 1s in her favor. She has exported this year 420,000,000 of francs more than she imported, America can do the same, We have made a beginning, anc if the men and women of the country will combine to in- dulge in iess extravagance, purchase domestic instead of foreign goods and practise the virtues of a debtor nation, every Month would see the foreign balance rolling up in our favor and coin accumulat- ing tor transmission to our coflers. It is not im- probable that events will compei the United States to make war upon = Spain, If so, it is likely that an additional issue of legal tenders will be made for war purposes, but under no other circumstances ought the good already done in the reduction of prices to be effaced by piling another crazy story ona fabric of irredeemable paper, Let the cur- rency be strengthened, not inflated, THE EVENTS OF THK WESK have not been unattended with unusual interest. The Message of the President and tne reports of the financia! oMfcers of the government have been leading themes of discussion in monetery circles, but in the absence of any well digested plan the fMnancia! subjects on which these papers treat are left very much as they were beiore. The possi- bility of inflation served its purpose in stimulating the operators of the stock market, and the entire share list participated in a general advance, the lower priced and non-dividend paying stocks figuring conspicuously. MONEY, on call loans, commanded stiff rates early in the week, the range being from 7 per cent to 1-32 a 1-16; but at the close was easier, exceptional busi- ness being done as low as 4and 5 percent, Not- withstanding the comparatively large gains by the banks, currency by no means “goes a-begging,” and only the best names and best securities success- fully run the gauntlet of scrutiny, The discount market was easier and business paper has been taken with more ireedom, Prime names have ranged from 9 to 15 per cent, THE BANK STATEMENT. The excess in the legal reserve is reported at $7,072,750, showing a gain over the preceding week of $1,778,425, The following table shows the changes in the New York city banks this week as compared with last :— Nov, 29, Dee. 6.

THE GOLD MARKET fluctuated according to the various rumors con- nected with the prospects of war and the policy of the government concerning inflation or contrac- tion, The prices were generally firm, especially at the close of the week. Carrying rates were 7, 6, 5, 4and3percent. There appears, however, to be no important speculative element in the mar- ket yet developed, much depending on Congres- sional legislation, which, it must be confessed, is exerting an unusual influence, even in advance.

SATURDAY, Dec. 6—6 P. M. The trade movement was moderate all through the jast week, and there was comparatively litue activity in any department, though the markets In numerous instances showed increased firmness, The basiness in dry goods showed @ large falling of, yet a fair business was done in ali the leading favrics, Hardware was very little sought after, and business was decidedly quiet. The same was true of most other kindred articles of commerce, At the Produce Exchange there was considerable buoyancy, but not nearly so much as durny the preceding week, and most kinds of produce were lower at the close of last week, even with the Erie Canal closed ior the winter, While the stocks in store | are Night and already decressing. The four mar- | ket Was gull and in buyers’ javor ali through the week, but closed firm, Wheat was for the most part dull and prices deciined materially during the first three or tour days but closed with a more active demand and at higher prices on Saturday. Corn was dull and heavy during the earlier part of the week, but the market subsequently reacted, The decline was re- covered and the market closed firm, Oats were dull and receded somewhat, but at the close of the week the mar- ket was firmer. Whiskey was without decided change, but heavy, Business im provisions was slack and values exceedingly irregular; but on Saturday a good business was done in both. Pork and lard at higher prices. Gro- cerles were moderately active throughout the week, and prices at the close were decidedly higher, particularly for coffee and sugar. Petroleum was quiet, but prices were a trifle higher, as compared with those current this Gay week, Naval stores have been generally quiet throughoyt the week, but values experienced no maverial change.

TRENTON, Dee, 6, 1873, A bold but unsuccessful attempt was made by two convicts named James Sumner and John Monahan to escape from the State Prison here this afternoon at about five o’clock. Sumner was em- ployed as engineer, and Monahan was his assist- ant, They managed, unobserved, in the engine room to splice two small ladders together, with which they ascended the walloftne prison while steam Was blowing off, and, with the aid of ropes, slid themselves down and took flight. This occurred just as the prisoners were coming out of the work- shops after the day’s work. Tie steam 80 ob- scured the engine room that no notice was taken ofthe escape ll the atmosphere cleared away, when Surgeon Reilly and Keeper Duane noticed the jadder against toe wall. An alarm was in- Stantly sounded. Head Keeper Wilson headed a pursuit. Monahan was captured close to the wall. Sumoer got as far away as Chambersburg, two Miles distant, before he was caught. Bonny. a clerk 1p the prison, was the first to stop his pro- gress, Sumner had four years to serve and Mon- aban thirteen months, Several shots were tired afcer the (ugitives. ACCIDENTAL DROWNING.
