] FINANCIAL AND COMMERCHL Capital Seeking Investment. —_-——— SOLID STOCKS STRONG Idle Genera! Business Still Waiting on the Action of Congress. THE BANK STATEMENT. Interesting Facts Concerning Exports, Im- GOLD FIRM AND MONEY EASY. WALL STREET, } Saturvay, Feb. 7—6 More than usual strength was exluibited in that department of the market which comprebends what are Known as investment and dividend-pay: ng shares, such, for instance, as Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western, New York Central and Hudson River, Rock island, New Jersey Central and Harlem. ‘This good fecling was somewhat reflected on the jewer priced securities, but neither the specula- tion in them nor the advance was of a character to | elicit much comment. There are two reasons for this conuition of affairs. First—More capital has ceacentrated in New York and is being offered on @emand loans than is wanted. Individual eapital- ists, rather than tempted to employ the same in the purchase of such securities as offer both SAFETY AND PROFIT. ‘This process is now going on, and we see the re- sult in the strong advance of government bonds and the line of shares above relerred to, Second— ‘The dilatory action of Congress, with reference to the issue of the reserve, and the uncertainty that surrounds the question whether the amount alk veady put out shall be legalized or withdrawn, nas practically blocked the wheels of trade and specu- lation. More money means expansion of credits, | over loading and another collapse. The cancella- tion of the $25,000,000 of legal tenders means the reoecupation of a sound conservative finanéial platform, and a step nearer to the resumption of specie payments. Whatever is te be done by Con. wress in this matter onght to be done immediately, 80 that business men may make their calculations om some definite basis, When this subject is dis- posed of then will properly follow the discussion of kindred topics having for an objective point the | rehabilitation of our currency and the advance- ment of its value to par in gold. THE COURSE OF PRICES TO-DAY ‘was indicative of firmness. Consolidated Coal opened at 47% and closed at 48%.

This week it shows a jarge increase in loans, amounting to $7,241,300. ‘The increase in deposits is also considerabie, and | is recorded at $6,839,000, There was a decrease in specie, yet it is explainable by the necessity of un- usual payments into the Sub-Treasury on account of import duties, resuiting from the demands of the spring trade.

The belief | | | is expressed by not a few observers of events that | | the drain upon the Bank of England—amounting | during the week to £782,000—if kept up another | week will compel an advance in the bank rate and impart additional firmness to the temper of specu- | lation, The market to-aay opened at 111% and | rose to 111%, closing at the latter ngure. The customs receipts for the week were $3,087,000, and | are indicative of more than usual actifity among | the merchants, who are preparing for the spring | trade.

CUSTOM HOUSE MATTERS, Revival of Business—Large Importations Expected—Office-seckers on Hand. 1t 18 a matter of congratulation to be able to state that business here for the past two weeks has been reviving to a wonderful extent, Col- lector Arthur reports considerable activity extst- ing in the various divisions. Judging from this a heavy spring trade may be anticipated. There is no reason why such should nct be the case, The Money 18 more plenty now and ob- tainable at easier rates than ever, and the import- ers a8 a general thing are short of goods, their importations last year having been exceedingly lignt. General Arthur is as much besieged by ‘‘states- men,” clamoring for appointments, as of yore, belore the civil service rules were in existence. Yo all these applicants the genial Collector re- plies, “here is no royal road to get tn—you must all travel the thorny path of civil service ¢xamina- tion.” All the applications are turned over to Mr. Frederick J. Phillips, the Collector’s private secretary, Whose mild temper, under the aggrava~ tions encountered from persistent office-seekers, is a marvel and the comment of ail visitors. Some time during this week there will be an examina- tion of candidates for one or two vacancies. Special Deputy Collector John R, Lydecker, who is. also Storekeeper of the Port, having charge of bonded stores, Will make an official tour of inspec: tion to the various bonded warehouses, in company with Captain Samuei P. Russell, the superintend- ent of the same. POST OFFICE AFFAIRS, Snow Stopping the Mails=The Break in the Elevated Ratlroad—Foreign Postal Service.
