FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The Current Monetary Situation. A Glance at the General Laws Influencing Money Values and Their Operation as They Relate to Us. ‘Larger Production the Means of Our Future Prosperity. rte He Eb ‘HOW THIS CAN BE ATTAINED. Local Dulness as an Incident in Money Market History. WALL Srreer, \ SUNDAY, Feb, 22, 1874. The week just closed has impressed itself upon the life and thought of the street m two ways that it will carry through all time as the record of its influence. In tie first place it has put the New York Stock Exchange on its detence before the world, Gambling 1s a term apphed in certain circles of contracted understanding to the daily operations which tuke place in the various stock ‘exchanges of the world. The fraud or forgery of last week places the New York Stock Exchange in the position that, if not ferreted out and punished, it will bring upon it the odium of @ conduct of business that, even among gamblers, is regarded with feelings of disgust. The street seems to feel that way, from the fact that the Governing Com- mittee, through whose weakness, imbecility or im- Pertect direction the fraud was rendered possible, are just now the subject of A LARGE AMOUNT OF CENSURE, In fact, the chances of their removal are being canvassed, However, this is a matter for the Stock Exchange, who must accept the acts of its appointed servants or masters—call it which you ‘will—as its own, and the question is still penaing -on the street tn this relation, ‘What is it going to do about it?’ Something must be done to lift the incubus of distrust from off the financial body which the Stock Exchange represents. It is no longer a good joke to fleece the outsiders out of their small investments, even ifit be only to the extent of $2,000,000, We are no longer in the wil- derness, The application of steam power and the ‘telegraph has made New York socially a suburb of London or Paris or Berlin. Consequently, we aim at respectability. Tne little game practised in the ‘matter of Wabash and Western Union was not re- @pectable. It savored something of the style of dealing which misinformed writers of fiction ana in some cases imperfect observers are apt to give of the American habit, This slander has lasted too jong. We are not a dishonest people, else would | (we Dot have THE ENORMOUS CREDIT SYSTEM among & sharply suspicious people which came so near bringing us to grief last fall. The late fraud in the Stock Exchange which, like blessings in dis- guise, has come.to usin doubtiul shape, furnishes fo the Governing Committee an opportunity to ‘vindicate our character abroad. The question plainly is asked on the street, Is it capable of ris- ing to an understanding of the situation that will | determine prompt action or does it need the infu- | sion of new thought? Time only can determine | this, unless the Stock Exchange presses home a #olation of the popular inquiry. This was the jocal sensation. Apart from that | the general Wall street markets were extremely | dull, Waiting upon the action of Congress, Even ‘that body, although probably in earnest in its -effort to meet the popular wisu and the popular necessity at the same time—it would be treason to srepublican institutions to doubt that purpose— moves very slowly. The discussion, however, has evoked certain conclusions as likely to result which are accepted by leading minds on the street. Thus HE LEGALIZATION OF THE ISSUE OF THE FORTY- FOUR MILLIONS ‘reserve 1s accepted as almost un fait accompli. | This ts rendered necessary by the necessities of ‘the-republican party, which cannot afford to go be- fore the people impugning the good faith or good | judgment of its own Treasury Secretary; for, | ‘whatever may be the private points of difference ‘between the Secretary and the Chairman of the | serve that house from such a dangerous attach- | would have been necessary to depopulate Sweden | in phe indiference felt on the street, even to such | an important publication as the bank statement. | their usual weekly exhibit, Indifference in go lar | possibility of anything occurring to create anima- Ways and Means Committee, or the Committee on Appropriations or the Banking and Currency Com- | mittee, the republican party 1s responsible for Mr. | Richardson and his acts to-day as they are respon- | sible for President Grant. Itis the weakest point in their armor, and they are not going to weaken | fit further by advertising the fact. Thus we may | sBalely count on $400,000,000 of legal tender circu- sation; and the question comes up here directly, If + the eountry is able to absorb $356,000,000, is it | ‘kely to be burdened by the addition of $44,000,000? And common gense says, No. We will soon grow wap toit, Better, anyhow, the limit oi see 1 ee tman the present effort at producig Las tic currency tn the daily alternate contraction or ex- pansion, which is about on a par with the silver resumption plan. It is sound policy to take THE GOODS THE GODS PROVIDE; ‘out itis to be hoped for the credit of human na- ture and the future of this great and glorious country that when next we want a Secretary of the Treasury the gods will see that they have on hand a better article. We stand before the world to-day in the throes ot a financial labor and notone in our midst able to promise a successful accouch- ment, It is the parturient mountain, and the chances are ten to one that the rest will be a ridiculoas mouse. Thus it is neces y to get rid of theories toa certain extent in attempting to deal with this question. One aginst bring his thought down to the level of the average Congres- sional understanding, end when he gets there he is likely to learn that the average Congressional un- deratanding is nearer right than be was himself. Optimism belongs to the millennium. The pres- ent calls simply for availability. So Congress has dealt, or ssemed to deal, with free banking, which it has had before it. Free banking, pure and simple, is impracticable at the present time. Whether it is @ lack of inherent honesty or that the present national bank system has demoralized us, it would not be safe ior us to go back even to such a perfect system of iree banking as existed in this State bejore the war—the best, perhaps, that was ever devised. But we may have tree banking upon government securities as a basis of circuiation. Of course, itis only a euphemism to call this tree banking, but it 1s a step in that direc- tion, Besides, it will he)p us in the process of funding. Bring out the 4'; and 4 per cent bonds, and keep our interest at home. There is a large instinct among our people now im lavor of @ new class of security that shall represent the Engiish conso!, and be either irredeemabie or have so long to run as to insure & safe annuity for at least one generation, There 4s 4 large amount of trust funds* that would seek such an investment at once. Late events, espe- cially the recent panic, have brought home tous @ knowledge of the error we committed in attempt- ing to pay off any portion of the principal of our debt betore maturity. The hundred and odd mil- lions paying 6 per cent interest, invested in the industries of the nation, would have produced more than 6 per cent return, and so left us a profit after paying this interest. In other words, these millions borrowed at 6 per cent were WORTH MORE TO US than the relief we gained in returning them. Our true policy ts to postpone the payment of our debt to such time that the country has grown and de- veloped resources which will dwarf the debt away beyond its present proportions In re- Jation to production. in the mean time let us use the money to stimulate such production, We must not halt in our railroad building. The Credit Mobilier will have been a much greater blow to us materially than it was -eocially it it checks railroad entervrise. Here the NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1874,—TRIPLE SHEET. Falirosa goes in advance OF the immigrant. We must not be wholly discouraged by the failure of the Northern Pacifico Rallroad. The greatest won- der in its case is that the shrewdness which built up the house that it ruined did not serve to pre- ment. It was never & sound financial idea. To people that line of road, and 80 furnish trafic, it and Norway, aud, perhaps, Finland. Ireland might have peopled even this region, as she has so many others, from the tropics to the poles, but Ireland is pretty well drained, We must loox elsewhere for those UNITS OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR upon which both our understanding and our pro- gress must in the future rest. Alsace and Lor- raine at the present appear to be the best flelds whence to excite emigration and settiement here, The people of these provinces are now in just that frame of mind in respect to their govern- ment that is provocative of a change of residence, It is well for us now to bear these things in mind in the present prostration of enterprise, DULNESS NOW DOKS NOT MBAN DULNESS FOR EVER, and if we borrow a little lignt trom the future to help us out of our present straitened condition we are certain to repay it many fold, One of the larg- est evidences of this current duiness is to be found The banks have more money than they can use. This is the secret of the indifference felt towards as current dealings are concerned extends in like degree to the entire street. The prevailing Jeeling is one of expectation, the thougntiul men await~ ing the action of Congress, and the Bashi-Bazouks, impressed by the atmosphere that surrounds them, without knowing how they are infuenced, imitating Wilkins Micawber’s example and wait+ ing lor something to turn up.

The condition of activity in the market would seem to induce a corresponding de- gree of watchiul sharpness in the mind of the operator that renders the practice of imposition more dangerous in such times than when the in- tellect is off guard as it were, reposing in that placid state of indifference to the accidents of lite which simply means there is not interest enough in the market or money in it for any event within the ordinary range of buman forecast to produce excitement. It was thus the forgery of last week had its influence, Every newspaper man will understand how impossible the uttering of such a barefaced, false token would have been with any elty eaitor in New York. Let him itmit nis sur- prise, however, that 1t was successfully uttered upon the Stock Exchange, where a larger knowl- edge of the immediate subject would be expected than even from the average city editor, in learning that so great was the prevailing duiness that the tion was so jar removed irom the thought of the governing. committee that 1t was virtually CAUGHT NAPPING, In this condition of feeling on the street it 1s not surprising that the holiday on Monday should pro- yoke & strict opservance. This is a good sign. Sentiment has its market value as well as every- thing else. The fact that we are beginning to cul- tivate 1t shows two things in a financial sense. The first is that we can afford it, That is, that our national life has grown to such proportions that it does not call tor persistent uninterrupted struggle to supportit. We have time to take a holiday without suffering too much loss, This evidences something further. Holidays may be said to be investment days. Thus trom the working days of the year we accumulate sufficient to enable us to purchase a day of rest occasionally. These, so far as the primal cause operates, are dies non. It is so much emancipation. We have too few such dies nonin this country, but we are growing up to them, In other words WE ARE GETTING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT, as they can in tne older countries, where the tastes are perhaps better regulated or controlled than ours, or surrounding nature docs not chal- lenge so much effort, These thoughts are addressed to the increasing recognition of the fact that the procession of the centuries 1s not after all a very varied exhibition. Rome was; so was Palmyra. Nineveh and Babylon are only words to as, But we inherit their glories so far as these were ca- pable df transmission, and humana nature remains the same. All of which means that the New York Stock Exchange adjourned over Monday, out of | respect to the memory of George Washington, and | the street generally will imitate its, example, there Tot being suificieit temptation in the market to induce opposition. MONEY few weexs, There has beem considerable manifest specuiative feeling, but, owing to the Cuuses enumerated, ib has not, as yet, resulted in any very large transactions, And yet the general spring business is increasing, particularly in hardware Qnd dry goods, transactions in which increased from day to day ali throagh the week last passed. The export movement in breadstuffs, &c., was only moderate—the advices from abroad being of @ rather discouraging tenor.
