FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL A Review of the Week’s Teach- What Has Been Accomplished in the Settle- ment of the Finuucial Question and Its Tendency. CLOSING PRICES SATURDAY Watt. STREET, Sunpay, March 1, 1874. f Stagnation was the controlling feature of the Wall’ Street markets during the past week, the changes uecessarily incidental to the conduct of business at all being tew and unimportant. The stock market, that depatable ground whereon ts fought to active periods the never ceasing struggle for supremacy between the bulls and the bears, rested in the quiet repose of an interval in which the Temple of Janus was closed and the lion and the lamb lay down together, and were correspondingly unhappy. It would appear almost as though the holiday of Monday had furnished a text for the operacions of the week, and the lesson of that day | ‘was repeated in a ‘hence it 1s,” each succeeding day. ON 'OHANGE asimilar feeling of reserve in respect to oper- ations was manilested, accompanied with a deciine 12 prices, Cotton went off upon the large receipts, rendered more a»parent by the accumulation of Monday, When there was no distribution, and a dull market tn Liverpool. The ascending scale of crop estimates likewise operates against firmness in prices, This, however, can only be a temporary drawback to active dealings as increased produc- tion can only stimulate operations in increasing our capacity for consumption. Grain shows a kindred weakness from much the same causes, chiefly the accumulation of stock as the result of tnterrupted delivery. It will thus be seen that the three great flelds of commercial activity all exhibit similar conditions of dulness and pesi- tamcy upon the shghtest provocation, the true cause being referable in each case to the unsettled financial condition growing out of the delay on the part of Congress to act upon the measures now before it designed as a panacea for existing | lis and as a security against their return in the futare, ACTION 18 THE ONE THING DEMANDED OF CONGRESS at the present time, and enough (3 known of khe temper of that body, its aim and desire, that action, if Congress will but assume the respon- sibility of determining it, will meet with the gen- | eral acquiescence, Capital is watting patiently such determination as a basis of future engage- | ments, and will accommodate itself to the result of the now protracted debate, whatever it may be, rather than lie idle any longer in unprofitable stagnation. Thus, if the limit of the legal tender circulation be fixed at $400,000,000, or the present amount at which it has now stood for nearly a week, $381,330,827, or be restored to the former figure of $356,000,000, capital can adapt itself to thas circumstance better than remain unem- ployed, and, as capital stimulates production, just as labor produces capital, so bas labor an equal interest with capital in desiring an end of the present uncertainty which checks the movement of capital, The objection is raised to restoring ‘the legal tender limit to $356,000,000, that it would Megalize the amount now outstanding in excess of that figure untess specially protected, while the calling of ttin would require mecreased taxation unless @ larger degree of retrenchment than now appears likely be eniorced. Next in mportance is THE QUESTION OF FREE BANKING, in respect to which also a spirit of compromise is gaining grouad. The advocates of free banking, pure and simple, are prepared to give in to tnose who oppose their theory to the extent of accepting the assumption of those who desire the continu- ance of the present system—viz., that the Ameri- can people are not honest enough, or have not uis- cretion sufficient, or intelligence, or experience, or whatever else it may be, to be suffered to emanci- pate themselves wholly trom the contro! of those who consent to govern national banks at the pres- ent day or their exemplars in the Treasury Depart- ment. Conceding this point as a matter for future discussion, they are willing to accept as much of free banking as they can get, even if obliged to | bank under existing laws having reference to the maintenance of a reserve and the pledge of gov- | ernment bonds as a security for their circulation. Mr. Schurz in this connection has presented him- self as au opponent of even this much of relief to the business needs of the country, and finds not only an apologist, but a eulogist, in one of the first financial weeklies in this city. The journal refer- rea to, commenting on the Senator’s recent speech, say3:— Mr. Schurz next proceeds to overthrow the falla cies of the free bankers. These gentlemen, as is well known, wou d have the limit of the bank note circulation extended that they may open new banks and get double interest on their capital. ‘This object the adoption of their plan would accom- plisn very perfectly, Another professed atin of the iree bankers is to put more currency into the pockets of the people of the West and South, In | this object, as Mr. Schurz argues, the free banking | scheme would utterly fail. He proves his point by showing that for every $900 of new currency which the people of the South and West could get through this system they would have to buy $1,000 of United States bonds. By the purchase they would have to pour $1,120 of their money into the’ maelstrom of Wall street. Thus, to getcur- rency by iree banking, would be to lose currency. and the West and South would be drained of its | present currency, instead of being enriched by | new supplies. The error of this isin assuming that the South and West are without capital as they are without currency. This is not so. HOUSES AND LANDS AND CATTLE ARE CAPITAL as much as government bonds, and, in fact, more 80, as they represent intrinsic value. Any of the capital of the South and West monetized in Wall street will do to purchase government bonds, If the purchase of these bonds at $1,120 for $1,000, upon which $900 currency could be issued, did not pay it would not be done, and hence the national bank monopoly of to-day would nog suffer, Besiaes, if it be so certain that it would not pay, where is | the use of prohibiting the trial. {s it trom the fear that it would strengthen the argument of the advocates of free banking, that banking restricted to government bonds, as at present, is acharge | upon the industrial growth of the country, and might be saicly extended to the 4)5 and 4 per cent vonds as an inducement te the placing of these, the proceeds of the sales of which, for such purpose, could be applied to the redemption of the older issues that are now due?’ Is this one of the dangers of free banking that array the whole present national bank interest against it, alike in principal and practice? WITH PROPER PROVISION FOR REDEMPTION, and the continuance of te present plan of re- serves, Guch reserve, however, to be gradually tn- creased in the proportion of coin, it does not seem as though free banking involved such @ very Serious danger as not to be worth atleast an op- portunity ef trial. popular clamor of the sections’ which Senator | Sherman spoke of the other day, (ar more thor- oughly than would his proposal for a redistribution of the currency, which he admitted himself to be futile, while with the requisite sccumulation of specie tt would help us to resumption. ‘The true principle, however, which underlies RESUMPTION AS AN ULTIMATE END to be reached and maintained, hus reference to the balance of trade, which the figures published here last week show to be improving in our favor to a very gratifying extent. ‘The basis of this is production, and upon that production rests our = credit. Thus we may change the form of our outstanding non-interest bearmg debt for one bearing interest, convert our green- | backs into coin bonds, but in reality we do not ad- vance our credit in any way as we slo not reduce our debt, credit being @ mere enphemism for debt looked at from another standpoint. Az nshilo ninit At ia the simple lesson, The coin, if bronght here for that purpose, would not remain with us uniess We had already reached. that time when our ex- 4 ; Atlantic and Pacifi It would settle at least that | Ports were greater than oor import. Whew that time shall have been reached it will not be neces- Bary to convert the greenback into anything but coin direct. In the meantime THERE 18 NQ SERIOUS DISTRUST OF THE GREENBACK dolinr, ng Our OWN people, Who accept it at 1 ow ab 4 Readily af uh uid coin, the only discrimination against ee ‘in tne pay- ment of customs duties and in the settlement of our foreign exchanges. Certainly the payment of interest upon it to foreign bondholders would not be likely to hasten the removal of that dis- crimination. This brings us back to the principle that 1t is only by increased production we can properly appreciate the greenback dollar to gold | and keep it there. Any other effort to do so by borrowing gold abroad would be only changing the | form of the existing depreciation at a heavy cost | for a mere appearance. As well suffer a deteriora. tion of vaine in the foreign exchanges in the green- back circulation as pay interest to maintain an ap- pearance of equality. As was said before, our | | People are well enough satisfied with the green- | back at present, and willing to wait until we grow j to tts conversion without imposing an undue bar- | den upon the industries of the nation. It is to aid | | in this result by stimulating production that they | ask for free banking. FOREIGN EXCHANGE.

SATURDAY, Feb, 28—6 P. M, The uncertainties regarding the financial ques- tions of the times; the extreme dilatoriness of Congress in legislating in the interests of the coun- try, and the morbid indifference o1 that body to | the well being of the mercantile interests of the | hation have combined to exert a deleterious in- fluence throughout trace marts during the week Just closed, as evidenced in the decrease of mer- ‘ cantile transactions and the general apatny which is apparent on all sides. The increas- | ing probabilities of currency inflation exerts a@ repressing influence, and merchants are fear- sul of trading beyond thety present ability, and the prudent merchant naturally hesitates about making contracts having long to run while the future of | currency values is 60 entirely problematical as it now appears.

The People of Viry‘inia Agitating for a European Plan of Banking and Fi- nance, RicnMOND,'Va., Feb. 28, 1874. An informal meeting, comtposed of members of the General Assembly, bankers, merchants and others interested in commercial affairs, was held here to-night, and was addressed by the Hon. James H. Platt, member of Congress from this ‘State, in favor of the establishment of @ national exchequer. On motion of General James H. An- derson, of the Tredegar Iron Works, the following resolutions were adopted ag the sense of the meet- ing on the subject :— Whereas, experience has dem ing financial system in the United States is detect amoung other things, in this, that, tre vant of elas. ticity or other cause, money is’ sometimes rendered 80 scarce and dear ay seriously to embarrass the t anil the industries of tae country: nishes an irredeemable and, consequently. currency for the uses of the beople. and th urge number of national banks, ho such certain concert of action between or predominant power and control in any of th believed to be essential to prevent, ward of oF qi mercial or monetary panics; and whereas the Virginia, in common with the people of other of aister States, desire a more equitable distribution of the | currency of the country ; therefore, be tt Resolved by the General Assembly of Virginia, That, in the opinion of this General A&xembly, no. cur rency can be satisfactory to the people of this country or placd them on an equal footing with the people of the | rest of the worid which is not redeemable in cof. ‘Secona—That, in the opinion of this General Assembly, the amount of xuch currency should not be rigid by law, Dut should be regulated by the wants of the business of | he country. Third—THat in the opinion of this General Assembly, assuming the power of Congress to establish banks to be | settled-by the practice of the governinent, itisexpedient, | ‘at as early a day as practicable, to establish one contral- | ling specie paving national bank, with branches in | the several States, which bank shall pe the fiscal agent of the at and shail be in tis organization and administration, independent of political control, | and shail have power to prevent, ward off and quiet such | commercial or monetary panics as all business commu. | nitles are liable to, by the accumulation of adequace | cash reserves of coin und bullion, the use of the dis- counting power, and, when need be, the regulation of the rate of interest that it may charge. Fourth—That, 1n the opinion of this General Assembly. it is unwise in our government, unlike the other leading commercial nations, to nold its large talance of coin amounting usually to near $100.000,00), locked up in. tt Treasury, and useless, while the people are struggling against a’panic that tuay be speedily quieted or pre= itness the Unparallelled crisis of September Inst, h—That in the opinion of this General Assembly the bill now before the House of Representatives of the United States, entitled “SA bill for the establishment. of a national exchequer,” seems to embody substantially the foregoing principles, and is worthy of the caretul consideration of Congress, Sizth—Thut the Senators in the Congress of the United | States from this State are hereby instructed, and the | meinbers of the House of Represéntatives requested, to endeavor by all proper meaus to carry out the views of | this General Assembly, as herein before expressed. Seventh—That His ‘Excellency the Governor of this Commonwealth is hereby requested vo communicate & | copy of t Governors of the several States with a request that they will y it betore their respective Legislatures; and further, to transimit a copy. thereof to each of the ‘Sena- tors and Representatives from those States in the Con- gress uf the United states, with a request that they will Present the same to their respective bodies.

It was reported that the Governor, to whom the petition had been submitted by Assemblyman Schearman, had given as his opinion that the Gen- eral Order No. 4, to which the petition refers. was unlawful and unauthorized. He, however, could not receive itexcept through the medium of the Adjutant General. To this oficial the petition will be accordingly submitted, and through assembly- man Schearman advice received ofits further fate, Ac ommittee, consisting of the following members ot fhe regiment, was appointed, which will, if re- quired, go to Albany to advocate the cause of the regiment :—Bischoff, Fuchs, Gaiser, Hirschberg, Baab, Koyer, Ganen, Heimbach, Kaufman, Koll- berger and Engel. PISTOLS AND THE POLICE. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: — 1am untortunately obliged to live in a tenement house and am liable to the same treatment as ail who are similarly situated; but if any man at- tempts to break in my door at any time witnout shoot him without the slightest compunction of conscience, It is reported ia some daily papers that the detectives—one of whom shot McNamara—did not say they were officers; but even if they did, does tunt justify the shooting ? It is the custom in Euglaud for a man to consider his house his castle, and in this coun- try I deny the right of policemen or detectives to enter my house without a search warrant. My opinion 18 that the police force in New York ought not to be allowed to carry pistols at all. in the two cities of Brooklyn and New York there were three cases of police outrage reported during the past Week—two resulting in the death of the vic- 1 , Was taught to look upon the police of Engiand as ' the public | city, to Miss J | 1874, at All Saints’ church, by the rector, the Rev. » past eleven, | Monday, i OPPICE, NOW IN OPERATION, With | ty of Tynes must be | | { | protectors, but require some assurance that they are such in New York.
