FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The Week to Come and the Week Past. OUR FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. What We May Expect trom Infiation. WHAT WE NEED Gratifying Condition of the Banks. THE STOCK MARKET. A General Glance at the Mone- tary Situation. WAL STREET, SunpDay, Dec, 14, 1873, The werk upon which we are about to enter promises to be of unusual interest-to the world of Anance, inasmuch as it is likely to develop the Btrength of the various parties in Congress who are Bt work upon the knotty problems involved in the Management of our currency. While we have faith jn the announcement of a distinguished official high in authority that there will be no inflation be- yond the expenditure of a portion or the whole Df the residue of the $44,000,000 of reserve there Bre nevertheless evidences of a determination on the part of certain Western and Southern members to press to the uttermost propositions looking to the further issue of irredeemable paper money. They may not result exactly as the friends of these schemes desire; but their influence will be felt in Wall street from week to week, and just so long as men can be found to putin bills and make Bpeeches, Fortunately jor the country THE SENATE Seems disposed to be conservative and resist the dangerous efforts to expand the currency that are put forth in the other house, and the sooner final action is reached and the subject 1s disposed of the better will it be for all concerned. If the re- Bult shall be the adoption of a measure that se- pures a uniform and sound currency, representing par in gold, and that adjusts itself readily to the | demands of commerce and population, all will be done that can be done safely in amending the present system, and the panic will have its com- pensation, The past weck has likewise been Jargety replete with interest, the various markets having exhibited unusuai buoyancy, with an under- tone that points to even HIGHER PRICES. ‘This is the result of tnflation. It 1s the premoni- tory indication of the disease we may expect to re- Bppear 1! the process goes on, 1t lends brilliancy Jor the moment to every speculation; but it means for the tuture, misfortune, Every dollar of fresh Issue, mach as the government may for the moment heed it, is a step further trom the solid basis to- ward which we have been gradually but surely tending. Mere paper currency is not wealth, and that which it may purchase represents only a value that tumbles and depreciates the instant it 1s measured by gold. The currency of the South dur- Ing the war, the currency of Cuba to-day, are iu: trations in point. And no greater iniquity could | be perpetrated by Congress at the present time | than to yield to the crazy demands of a mass of | people and flood the conntr, “LAMPBLACK 4ND RAGS? Tt is not te be dented that the use of some $17,000,000 o1 the $44,000,000 reserve has produced new conditions in Wall street, and sustained the market. It has afforded substantial reason tor the sharp advance in prices, and helped to swell the gains of money in the banks, and as values in this locality move in obedience to a mysterious law of sympathy we see a situation full of temporary encouragement. How long willit last? Have the President and Secretary of the Treasury persuasive influence with Congress snficicnt to enable them to preserve tne, consistency o: th present and former deciarations? Wiil the country stand a taxation tat may augment the revenue by $42,000,009 per annum rath n again set THE TREASURY P RESSES in motion? Does the policy of the administration, which favors the resumption of specie payment at the earliest day po: port in either nouse to win? i these questions gre answered in the allirmative, it is not aimcult to discern a braver and grander future for the country. It1s easy to extract comfort even from the past financial crisis. Our paper currency will become as potent as an English bank note. Prices will gradually come to represent real values, Ad- ditional purchasing power wiil be given to the earnings of the producer. Labor may command lower prices, but these will enable the manutac- turer to work more chevply, the merchant to sell more cheaply, the contractor to build cheaper houses, the owner to give his houses at cheaper rents, and so on through all THE ROUNDS OF SOCTAT LIFE there wiil follow a uatural and healthy reduction, Then, with a currency gf the people, fairly distributed—“elastic,” in the sense of adaptability, to the varying requirements of localities and seasons—we may reasonably hope | to pass through another decade without another panic. If, on the other band, inhation continues, and flity or a bundred millions of paper are added to the present volume of circulation, there is not a financier in the land who will not begin to trim his sails to Meet a storm, the mutterings of which will be heard inthe very hour such @ measure is enacted—a storm, too, flercer, more terrible and disastrous than any known to the present genera- tion of men. Reviewing brietly THE CURRENT EVENTS of the week, it is gratifying torecord the prompt | recovery of the banks and the holding by the sev- eral institutions of a larger amount of money than | they have reported ai any time since the pani The statement published yesterday shows an ex- cess of nearly $10,000,000 over and above the legal reserve and again of $5,000,000 over the amount reported the previous week. The loan certificates have likewise been cancelled, untii they now rep- Tesent only $4,609,000. The following is a com- parison of the averages of the past two weeks:— Dee, 6. Dec, 1.

The banks are ox. tending more than usual facilities to brokers, and hence activity has been given to specu. lation. First class paper Was discounted at from 9 to 12 per cent. The uncertain reports from Cuba, the weakness of the Treasury in cotn, the discussion of resumption, and perhaps some wocal artificial influences, have served during the week to make the gold market very lively, 80 that at the close on Saturday the price reached the highest figure touched for several days—to wit, $217,349,500 Inc. 3,002,500 | a few moneyed men, who now and then drop alittle apted nicely to the wants | 5 0k. Gold is still heavy to carry, however, and the rates serve to deter specuiation. FORRIGN BXCHAN waa steady during the early vart af the week, but NEW YORK HERALD. MONDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET, later advanced. It ts sata that nearly all of the coupon bonds of the loan of 1874 are held abroad, and that remittances are being made in anticipa- tion of these and other 1st of January payments. The foretgu market has been generally quiet, prices Indicauing a small decline. Erie as a representa- tive American security was exceptionally weak, OUR FOREIGN COMMEROR for the week was as follows:—General merchandise imports, including dry goods, $4,519,164; produce exports, $5,170,064, and specie exports, $713,206. ‘The total merchandise imports since January 1 this year are $371,974,276, against $407,427,775 last year, and $357,583,517 in 1871, The exports of produce since January 1 this year are $282,349,100, against $25,590,047 last year and $227,806,581 in 1871. The total exports of specie since January 1 are $46,732,116, against $68,051,717 last year and $65,502,513 in 1871. GOVERNMENT BONDS were buoyant, strongly sympathetic with the rest of the market, and on Saturday reached the highest prices of the week. Good inguiry exists and the prospects are that the home and foreign investment demand will be larger than heretofore. The same market 1s applicable to many of the old railroad bonds. Central and Union Pacific have advanced materially, and, viewing the entire list of permanent securities, it looks very much as if @ vast bulk of IDLE CAPITAL would find its way into governments, first class railroad bonds and real estate mortgages. South- ern securities, on the other hand, with a few notable exceptions, are apparently out of favor. The example of South Carolina has thrown a damper upon investment in this direction. The Legislature of that State, now in session, is be- having disgracefully. A printing ring exists which eats up between $600,000 and $700,000 annually, and the hands of thieves are more deeply in the State Treasury than ever before, An effort is being made to reduce the figures of the public debt, but it 1s attended with so many other efforts at stealing thateven some of the negro legisla- tors themselves stand aghast, S THE STOCK MARKET, The. advance in stocks during the week was marked, and nota few operators have been made happy by their profits. The notable feature of the speculation was the continued rise in the lower priced securities and the heavy dealings in what is known as the Vanderbilt line of stocks, in which may be inciuded Western Union. There were one or two days of tremulousness, when prices stood still or declined just enough to excite the fear in the minds of a few that the top had been reached and the turning point was at hand; but the generals in command very quickly rallied their forces, and in a few hours there were enough despatches from Washington to flood the most despondent heart with hope. ‘The mechanism of speculation never worked more smoothly than 1t does at the present moment, There are no “corners,” and apparently no cliques; only sweet oli on the piston rod. The machine seems to Tun itself. HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES. The following table shows the opening, highest and lowest prices of Saturda; tern. oe Northwestern preferred.

Celebration To-Morrow of Sam Adams’ “Tea Party” in Boston Harbor, December 16, 1773—How the Event Will Be Observed in New York and Other Cities, To-morrow is the centennial anniversary of an event in American history that ts destined to be appropriately celebrated on the expiration of each 100 years, masmuch as it was the first open use of torce against the British government and the odious tax upon tea, The night of December 16, 1778, after Governor Hutchinson had refused to send back to Europe the vessels and their cargoes, lying tm Boston Harbor, the “Monawks,” led by Sam Adams, proceeded to Grifin’s Wharf, and went on board the Dartmouth, the Eleanor and the Beaver, and threw overboard the contents of 342 chests, destroying only the tea and doing that in the most methodical manner, No person was hurt, and no injury was done to either of the vessels. The night was a clear one apd moonlit brilllanuy. It was not till three hours were over that all the tea Was overboard—and the “Mohawks”? had been con- siderably reinforced in that time or the work might have gone over till the next morning. Their work done, the destroyers landed and marched to their homes to the sound of the drum and the fle, emblematic of what was to be heard for many a year thereafter as a consequence of their€onduct, with musketry and cannon as additions. We sup- pose that the first martial music of the Revolution was heard on that nigat. Samael Adams was the great man to whom the destruction of the tea mainly must be credited, A jourth tea vessel was lost ‘on the back of Cape Cod." At Philadelphia and New York the tea was sent back, and at Charleston it was stored aad spoiled. Anaapolis, in Maryland, and that inuch later (October, 1774), was the ouly otuer place where the people had Tesort to violence against tea and its friends. in all the large cities and towns of New England and the Northern preparations have been made for the proper celebration of this event; but Boston promises to eclipse all other cities in the testivities, unless it be Philadelphia, THE PROGRAMME AT BOSTON 1s as follows:—The Women’s fea Party will be held Wendell Phillips wil make the Mary A.
