FINANCIAL AND COMMBRETAL a The Invitation ot America to Earope. OUR HOME ATTRACTIONS. ——-—_—_ THE MONEY MARKET. Gold Steady—Government and Railroad Bonds Firm. THE BANK STATEMENT. WAL. SrReer, } SaToRDAY, Jan. 17—6 P.M. ‘The immediate outlook of affairs from a money point of view and of the prospects which seem to favor commerce are in every sense encouraging. Firat, our banks are plethoric with funds, The statement in detail will be found below, It is probable that the amount of excess over the legal reserve will increase for many weeks to come. Second, money is to-day cheaper and more abundant than it has ever been at this season of the year. Banks are begging that it shall be taken off their hands. Third, money is easy in England, France and Germany, In other words, a species of inflation exists in Europe, which has already begun to communicate its buoyant influences to American and other securities. THE PEASANTRY OF FRANCE have poured out their hoards. The bankers of Germany are loaded with the gold and silver ac- cumulated as the result of the payment of the war indemnity, England—the banker of the world— 4s overran with applications for new loans, and everywhere on the Continent among the great” money centres is to be seen a@ condition of afairs resultant from a complement to their coffers of capital. This has been released and now seeks in- vestment. An tmportant question to be considered im this connection 1s whether the United States does not and will not offer such inducements through her government bonds and railroad secu- rities as are calculated more than ever to attract the attention of European capitalists. The ordinary British investor has been often and egregiously deceived by the loans placed upon his market, while GERMANY AND AUSTRIA have been on the edge of panic within the last year as the consequence of wildcat speculations. On the other hand, American credit has been ordi- marily well maintained abroad, and fewer defaults have occurred in our securities than among any others which are the subject of investment. Itis Dut natural, therefore, that amid this wonderful abundance of money, this tremendous excess’ of capital, alarge amount should find its way from England to this country to be placed among the handsome paying dividends which we count by the score. The influx may not be felt here immedt- ately, although the general effect is even now per- ceptible in the London market, but the condition Of affairsis s0 favorable, the attractions so great, the results so profitable that it seems almost a matter of certainty that sooner or later, and proba- bly at an early day, the country will enjoy the ben- @fit of this incoming of foreign capital. BXPORTS AND IMPORTS, ‘The foreign commerce of the port for the weck ‘Was:—General merchandise imports, including @ry goods, $7,712,254; produce exports, $4,505,705, and specie exports, $482,405, The total merchan- dise importa since January 1 are $14,966,378, as against $16,630,268 in 1873, and $12,383,939 in 1872, The total exports of produce siuce January 1 are $9,414,300, against $7,968,329 In 1873 and $5,409,162 in 1872, ‘The total exports of specie since January 1 are $1,022,942, against $3,023,388 in 4878 and $94,878 in 1872. THE MONEY MARKET. Money closed with free offerings at 3, 4 and 5 per eent, the ruling rate of the day being the latter gure. Foreign exchange closed at 4.8334 a 4.84 for prime bankers’ 60 days’ sterling and 4.863; a 4.87 for demand, Paper at discount, or as hereto- Sore quoted, THE GOLD MARKET. Gold ranged from 11134 to 111%, closing at 1114. There are no comments to be made with reference to the market, and speculation seems to be de- pendent on the operations of a few parties and not on general principles.

The bank statement to-day was more than usually favorable, showing @ net gain of $3,248,000 in the excess over the legal reserve.

The principal deal- ings were in Lake Shore, New York Central, West- ern Union, Union Pacific, Pacific Mail, Wabash, Ohios, Rock Island and Northwestern. Decline resulted from the short sales of Lake Shore and various reports concerning a change in its presi- dency; but these couhl not be fixed. The latest and best substantiated rumors were that Commo- dare Vanderbilt still retains his position as Presi- dent, with Mr. Amasa Stone as Manager. The weakness of the stock seems to be due to the re- port of the company, which shows little or no earnings, and an inability to do more than to meet its expenses, While Western railroad cars run empty from east to west for months in succession, fine writing and artistic figures avail little in making a price for their stock. We note the following as the range of to-day’s figures :—Western Union declined from 7734 to 757% ; Pacific Mail dropped from 41}, to 4034, closing at 40%; 0., C. and LC. was steady at 31%; Union Pacific sold at 3334 a 33% a 343; @ 33X; Erie at 50a 4834; New York Central at 1033; a 102%; Panama at 114% a 115; Northwest common declined from 6034 to 60; the preferred also moved down from 7234 to 72; St. Paul ranged from 483¢ to 47%. but closed at 483s; Wabash declined from 543; to 53% a 5334; Ohios from 34% to 33%; Mariposa moved to 11%; Delaware, Lackawanna ana Western was steady at 101.
