‘FINANCIAL AND COMMER The Speech of Mr. Dawes from a Fi- nancial Point of View. te ‘RETRENCHMENT AND SPECIE. Reasons Why We Can Re- sume and Redeem. A DULL STOCK MARKET. Money Easy, Gold Stronger and Business Waiting Upon National Legislation. WALL STREET, } Fripay, Feb. 13—6 P. M. ‘The speech of Mr. Dawes, in the House of Repre- sentatives yesterday, is full of meat and suggestive to all who enjoy strong pabulum, It was largely. made use of to-dayin the stock market as an argument incidentally and inferentially pointing to farther inflation, and did unquestionably for a ‘time give to prices a firmer tone, [t will be re- ™membered that Mr. Dawes suggested three plans whereby the government could extricate itself from the financial predicament and escape bank- Tuptcy—tirst by taxation, second by 4 further loan and third by retrenchment. But because he was silent on the subject of a ‘urther issue of legal ten- @era, and because he demonstrated, as far as nis Dgures would permit tum to do, that THE TREASURY at the end of the fiscal year—July 1, 18t4—would | De weaker by $50,000,000 than at the same time tn 2873, it was assumed that the drift of the speech ‘was in favor of inflation, There is no good reason for such a belief. Mr. Dawes simply, in | @ brave, dispassionate way, arraigned a repub- Ycan Congress for its extravagance, exuibtted the imbecility of its legisiation, and suggested, ‘what has so often been urged iM these and the | editoris! colamns of the HERALD, the only honest methou of relief—to wit, retrenchment, The ‘country has had enough of taxation, and until the forced loan of $40,000,000 of greenbacks and frac- tional currency has been paid back to the people we want no more of this sort of irredeemable “promises to pay.’ In that one word “retrench- ment” is the panacea of onr ills, and no argu- | ment was ever more conclusive than the simple fact cited by the Representative thatin 1870 we ex- Pended $309,000,000 and paid off $100,000,000 of the dept. In 1871 we expended $292,000,000 and paid | of $94,000,000 of the debt, In 1872 we expended $277,000,000 and paid $99,000,000 of the debt. In 1873 the expenditures rose to $290,000,000, and only | {$43,000,000 of the public debt was paid; while for ‘the present year $419,000,000 were appropriated, ‘and we have paid none of the debt. If there be added to the above figures the amount or THE DEBT RETIRED between March, 1869, and July, 1869, we have a grand total of $37,000,000 in gold, less about $38,000,000 of 3 per cent certificates—more than enough to have put the country on a specie pay- img basis and added untold wealth to all of its en- terprises. When men talk about the impossibility of gradually resuming specie payment let them re- all these figures and remember that what the gov- ernment has so recently done in accumulating gold may be done again, even on the present basis of taxation, by reducing public expenditures some- ‘where near the point at which they were prior to the war. The decline of revenue and customs re- eeipts at present felt is the natural sequence of the panic. [fit continues, the blame Will fall upon Congress alone; for upon the prompt action of that body depends the settlement upon a firm | foundation of those principles which alone give Ife to enterprise and cunfiaence to the commer ial public, THE MONEY MARKET. No changes are to be recorded in this depart- ‘ment. The rates on call loans continue at 4 and | per cent, with an abundauce of offerings.

Currency exchange: Currency balances. Gold exchanges: Gold balances. THE STOCK MARKET to-day gave no token of resiliency, and the Board | was about as dull and uninteresting a place as | could pe found in the neighborhood of Wall street. Business was limited, outside orders have re- ceived a check and the opinions of men with ref erence to present and future were diverse and ate speculation always follows a condition of acuvity among the productive tndustries. If Fi capital is alive and working elsewhere it will | make its way to Wan street. If the country is jul) of enterprise—mills, wheels and machinery are everywhere running, workingmen all employed, | trade in full blast and railroads and sbips treighted | with values resulting from labor, then the | stock market participates in the general success, because its securities then rest on a i profitable foundation, If, on the other hand, there | | | 8 no development of strength, no growth, no earn- | ings by railroads, no full employment of the re- | sources of the country, no sresh wealth being | added to that which already exists, real specula- | tion contracts and becomes subservient to the will | of the few. Even in the midst of stagnation, arti- | ficial activity may be developed by a few capitalists, | | Who with their money may make a market, but in | | such a case it is always temporary, always decep- |, tive and rarely profitable except to those who are | “behind the scenes.” | + THE FLUCTUATIONS in the market to-day were confined within narrow | limits, except in one or two instances. New York | | Central opened at 104% and sold down to 1045. It is generally supposed that the stock was aifected by the discussion of the Pro Rata bill in the Albany | Legislature. C., C., C. and J. was especially strong. | Yesterday it sold at 8234 and to-day at 85%. It is | intimated that the Atlantic and Great Western | Company are trying to control the stock, | Dut there is so much chicanery at work in everything nowadays that it is im- possible to state actual facts, Harlem sold at 130% a 13034; Erie was steady at 48% a 48%. Lake Shore ranged from 82% to 8234 a 824y. Union Pacific varied from 35%g to 35%, closing at 35%. Pacific Mail opened at 43%, receded to 43, ad- vanced to 434% and closed at 43%, St. Paul sold at 47% @ 47%; Western Union at | 163, @ 765% @ 76% & 76% a 76%, Northwest common ranged from 58% to 58'¢ and closed at 583g. The preferred stock sold at 76a 75%. Rock Island varied but trifle from yesterday's price. The close was at 1084s.

The same circular also notified the dealers of @ slight reduction in price; but, on account of the decrease in weight, the cost to them {s practically advanced twenty-two cents per ton for stove and egg coal and thirty-two cents for chestnut. The coal ring of Pennsylvania have issued their manifesto, in which it is directed tnat coal shall advance during the year 1874 as followa:— Opening price above last year.
