FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Congressional Dalliance and Treas- ury Irresponsibility. The Cotton Movement, Our Foreign Exchanges, Gold and the EBx- isting Money Market. THE BEAR RAID IN STOCKS. WAUL STREET, } SunpayY, March 8, 1874. ‘The week closed upon signs of improved anima- ‘ton tn stock circles, although in the more legiti- mate departments of busiuess activity, while im- provement was noticeabie, it had in it more of the character of expectation than the quality of re- eulta, This expectation, however, bad in it prob- ably alarger element of saiety than the causes ‘which make the stock market active. It is not ‘well, however, to rest too wuch confidence upon a ‘mere expectation, and it is very clear that some- thing more than that is necded to restore the old vitality to our present paisied industries, That Worthy citizen of Massachusetis who occupies towards the people of this country, in 4 measure, THE RELAMIVE POSITION WHICH THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER does to the people of England—but, it must be regretiully emphasized, only in &® meas- are, and that measure as changeful ais own greenback standard of value— has for the past week kept the limit of the legal tender issue at $382,000,000, This -48 commendabie as far as it goes, but the trouble da, it is so little, and so uncertaln, m view of the fact that it ia capable of being disturbed by any single United States disbursing officer who fails to apply the recommendation contained in a Tecent circular to so regulate his disbursements @8tokeep the outstanding legal tenders as near this point of $232,000,000 as possible. From this it is inierred that not only does the Secretary assume to himse)t the power to vary the standard of domestic exchange from day to day, as he may see fit, but that the same authority exists inevery disbursing oMicer or the United States, thus placing the enormous monetary interests of the country, industrial and commercial, at the mercy of a bead of a bureau for whom ability is soarcely claimed even by bis own party and a crowd of inferior officials notoriously appointed for political reasons. Is itany wonder, in such & condition of things as this, that TRADE LANGUISHES ? Is it any wonder that business men, capitalists, hesitate to enter into engagements, the character and obligation of which it is impossible to deter- mine; where all is guesswork and the contract of to-day is not the same coutract to-morrow through the irresponsible act of a bureau clerk? What wonder is 1t that the bonded debt of the United States shows an increase during the month of February of $8,000,000, contrary to law, as ex- | hibited on the books of the department, and the wery eXcelient Assistant whom Mr, Richardson has finds it impossible to expiain? These are sad admissions for American business men; but they dorce themselves home every day, demanding recognition and calling loudly for reform. The proposition to call a public meeting of the mer- chants and business men to protest against tlus trifling with the very source of prosperity in all financial and commercial transactions, A FIXED STANDARD OF VALUE, | ] to explain how these rates are obtained; ft is sur ficient that they are obtained, the Usury law to the contrary, notwithstanding. This is simply an imposition upon the commercial Classes, who, dur- ing the period when these rates are exacted on the street, bave to pay like rates in shape of com- missions to note brokers to float their notes and acceptances, these “shares being, it has fre- quently been asserted, shared in by bank officers themselves. Here is a manifest injustice that could be avoided by appropriate legislation abolish- ing the Usury law. USUBY, INDBED, IN OUB DAY IS PURELY 4 STATUTORY OFFENOR, it being a recognized principle of commercial ac- tion that money will find its level as surely and as readily as water, This we see in the recent jJarge subscriptions to American loans in Europe, far exceeding the amount asked for, the subscrip- tions to the $5,000,000 loan of the Lehigh Valley road Jast week having reached eight times that sum, This arises out of the fact, as we explained before, that the long hoarded goid of France which went to pay the German indemnity claim is now coming rapidly into circulation. We shall have more of it coming here and can find employment for it, but more profitably for ourselves without any Usury law than with it,as more of it will | come, and law oF no law, we will not getit for | less than it is worth, By fixing the limit | of T per cent as legal interest, we only increase the value of money by adding the risk of @ con- tract not binding in Jaw, besides costs incurred in the effort to avola evidence in the contract of such invalidity. It would be quite safe to legislate upon the principle that money will always bring what it 1s worth, and OUR ALBANY SOLON3 WOULD ACT WISELY if they applied that lesson, at all events, to the metropolitan district. It should be boine in mind that the plethora of money that now presents it- self at this centre only results irom the suspended industries of the nation, growing out of the excep- | tional tampering with the currency by the chief fiscal officer of the government, Given a relief from this exceptional condition of affairs, and the money now here will soon find employment, rates will rise, speculation on the Stock Exchange will become rampant and the usury law will again step in to embarrass legitimate trade. Instead, therefore, of trying to make more money out of “rags and lampblack”— | seeking, as it were, to evolve it from our own inner consciousness, or borrowing it on govern- ment security at an increase of the interest bur- den and consequent increased taxation—let us rather invite the money of the world here to seek employment, in the full confidence that each in- dustry or enterprise that gives it employment will | pay no more for it than it can afford to, and we | may be assured of reaching that much desired haven of reliei—monetary case in the midst of the whirr of industry sooner than by all the schemes now engaging the attention of Congress, free banking, as they regard it, not even excepted. IN GENERAL YRADE CIRCLES | the resumption of the gold sales operated tn. | Jurionsly early in the week, but towards the close the market rallied and showed a better disposi- tion, The prospect of the early opening of the canals encourages dealers; but if we accept “Old Prob’s" theory of another cold wave that is to fur- nish a second ice crop this expectation is yet pre- mature. In dry goods circles trade ts confined mostly to the jobbers, without marked results. Buyers are coming in from the West, South and Southwest, and there 1s sufficient encouragement. in the sitnation to justify the hope of an active spring trade it the currency question were only disposed of one way or the other. THE COTTON MOVEMENT is in our favor, and bears out what has been said above in respect to money seeking employment here from Europe. The figures we give are from gains favor as it is discussed, and, unless Congress | the Financial Chronicle in its special report, The should act promptly in the matter, may yet prove | to be the starting point of a vigorous opposition to the present administration of national affairs that may perhaps force the dominant party, at no dis- total receipts for the seven days ending March 6 5,010 bales against 105,870 bales last week, | are | 116,322 bales the previous week and 180,811 bales three weeks since, making the total receipts since tant day, into exile until it has purged itseli of the | the 1st of September, 1873, 3,123,938 bales, against many evils that have grown into its management of public affairs. The present political condition of England furnishes an instructive lesson in this connection. Mr. Gladstone, the most popular Minister, perhaps, that Engiand has seen for a | long time, has been forced into retirement to make way for Disraeli, never a poputar Minister in our sense of popularity. It is not to be assumed that this conservative reuction meuns that the lip- eral movement, of which Mr. Gladstone is | the representative, is no longer the purpose of the English people. Only that Mr. Gladstone | ‘was ahead of his time and England desires a | breathing space to learn precisely where she | stands, and if it would be sase to venture further. The republicans here stand in a like comparative position to that which Mr. Gladstone did a year ago. The spirit of domination out of which has grown the Louisiana scandal, the Crédit Mobilier frauds, and now its utter failure to deal with the financial problem so suddenly precipitated upon Congress in & broad, statesmanlike spirit, has forced the inguiry whether the earnest purpose, the high endeavor that enabled it to bring the war | ofthe rebellion to a successiul conclusion, is still | the animating instinct of the party, or whether | lower objects of mere personal aim have not so demoralized it that it will need a period of purga- | tion Lelore it will be enabied to deal properly with | ‘the great questions that now agitate the country, WALL STREET ASKS THIS QUESTION, ana Congress can answer it by its action during the present session. Further dalliance with the Momentous issues submitted to it is fraught with danger to the party, as it is tothe counwy. The | country, if deceived, will, very likely, have its re- | Fenge. After the limitation of the legal tender circula- tion the next pot of interest has reference to free banking; and as yet Congress does not seem to have reached an understanding of what is free banking, but continues to waste its time over | various schemes designed by the present monopoly | of national banks to maintain their exceptional | privileges. To use again a figure which is likely to | come home to the average inteihgence | ‘of Congressmen, the difference between free banking and national banking is that described as the difference in the process of manufacture between ale and lager beer. Thus one is fermented irom the bottom up, while the other is fermented from the top down. There 1s, it will be admitted, suMcient similarity in the prod- act in each case to render the ordinary consumer Indifferent to or ignorant of the different way in which, in each case, it is reached, So with free ovanking and our present sysiem of national banking. FREE BANKING IS A MONETARY SYSTEM THAT GROWS OUT OF TRADE NECESSITIES, and accommodates (tsel€ to those necessities in giternate expansion and contraction, The na- tional bank system, as it at present exists, is the gilt of the government ta trade requirements, is | inelastic, and, instead of adapting itself to tne uses | | for which it was created, forces commerce and the | Thursday, March 5, exchanges to shape themselves to its measure of | value. Those who argue that free banking is only another name for inflation—that is, the unlimited, unrestricted issue of bank notes—err, With proper provision for redemption and assorting | honses established at all the great money cenwres, | the volame outstanding would be regulated by the | laws of trade, expanding and contracting with the } necessities of the different seasons, the crop movementa and the periods of settlement. And this brings us to another point that is intimately connected with free banking, and, in fact, of | greater importance, viz. YRER MONEY. Throngh the cperation of the Usury law trade in this city enters into the race for commercial su- premacy with the otter great capitals of the world, handicapped with an enormous burden, re- quiring not only extra effort on our part to main- tatn our place in the fleld, but threatening to ex, haust usin the struggie, To load the employment of money With the penalties of nsury is simply to retard auc prosperity; and but for this result the Usury law is wholly inoperative. Thus in an active period of speculation on the Stock Exchange money will Jump from 7 per cent, the legal rate, to 7 gold, and from that to 1-82 0f 1per cent per day, then to 1-16, 4, %, 4 and po on, in increasing ratio. It is not necessary Is | 2,798,164 bales for the same period of 1872-73, show- | ing an increase since September 1, 1973, of 330,874 | pales. ‘The exports of the week reached a total of | 136,918 bales, of which 79,449 were to Great Britain, 3,450 to France and 53,019 to the rest of the Conti- ninent, while the stocks as made up this evening (March 6) are now 757,047 bales. THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET during last week was well supplied by bills drawn against recent railroad loans, while the shipments of cotton, being about regular, tend to keep the market quiet and easy. The failing off of general trade operates against any extension of the line of imports, and it is probable that m the prevailing disgust at the vacillating policy of the Treasury on the subject of the currency and tbe undecided action of Congress many importers would wish they had the option of changing present engage- ments. MONEY RULED EASY throughout the week, as has bees before stated, at about 3 ana 5 per cent as the extremes of the regular business with mercantile paper, 5 to 63¢ for best endorsed, anda decided preference for short dates, This grows readily out of the uncer- tainties of the present Treasury management, when the amount of greenback circulation may | 153, be altered at the discretion of any disbursing officer of the government, and the amount of the bonded debt is involved in the mazes of “Treasury bookkeeping’ beyond even the ability of the second officer of the department to explain with- out examination. . THE BANK STATEMENT shows an increase in the total reserve of $1,325,900, owing to the gain of $1,555,800 m specie, the legal tenders having fallen $259,900, ‘The total liabilities have increased $4,467,700, and the banks now hold, in what is reckoned as lawful money, $21,052,425 | above 25 per cent of their total liabilities, which is $208,975 more than yesterday, A COMPARISON. ‘The following is a comparison of the average of the past two week!

The general tone of speculation on the Stock Ex- change was bearish, induced first by the resump- tion of Treasury gold sales and the proposition to retire the $26,000,000 increase of legal tenders by means of @ forced loan, and subsequently sus- tained by rumors of adverse railroad legislation in the Western States and a new freight war, The latter rumors were effectual in producing a decline in Western railroad shares, as the market, being extremely sensitive im the existing financial con- | ditton, readily responded to any whispered sugges- | tion of danger.

Unchanged — Petro- leam Dall and Unchanged—Naval Stores Quict—Whiskey Closed Firm. Satcrpay, March 7~6 P. M. The movement of merchana. was only fair during the week last past, the markets being gen- erally unsettled and values fluctuating, This was in good part owing to the uncertainties regarding the future financial policy of the government, the ap- prehensions connected with the currency question, the evident inability of Congress te devise ways and means to secure a more stable currency, or its utter unconcern touching these important consid- erations, ail of which exert an important influence throughout the business marts of the country, but especially here in the great commercial em- porium, where commercial values are reg- ulated, as it were, for the entire country. There was some speculative feeling manifest in certain quarters, and contracts to some extent were put out; but, asa general ru'e, merchants preferred to await Congressional action on the financtal problems before venturing far beyond the present. The spring trade thus far has disappointed some of the more sanguine ; yet, nevertheless, there has of late been noticeable a gradual increase in several de- partments. Dry goods, hardware, groceries, naval stores, oils, &c.,have met with fair sale, though no especial activity has obtaincd for any lengthened period, the transactions last week aggregating a fair average. The export movement in breadstuffs was fair last week, and there were indications that a more active movement at an early day was probable. The market for wheat assumed @ more buoyant tone early in the week, and, with a fair demand for ship- ments and moderate receipts, prices experienced, a decided advance before the close of the weck, when, as arule, still higner prices were demanded for prime sam- ples of ull cargoes Corn was in tair demand during the greater part ot the week, and, with small receipts, there Was little difficulty in ¢stablishing a material advance. Oats were lkewise firmer, with Mimited receipts. Pro- visions were more freely dealt in, but values were quite fluctuating and uncertain. On Saturday, on ‘Change, slour was only 1m litited request, but values experienced | no appreciable change, Wheat opened with holders de- handing an advance, but subsequently closed quiet at about Friday's figures, Corn was in light supply-and in better demand at an advance ot 2c. a 3c, per bushel, closing firm at the improvement. Oats were a shadé firmer and in fair demand. There was a tair movement in provisions, particularly vork, and the market was firmer. Groceries were generally quict, excepting suzar, which met with a fairdemand at about tormer price Cotton ruled quiet, both for “spot” lots and for “futures. Freights were quiet and steady. Petroleum was dull and unchanged. Naval stores were quiet, and whiskey was steady at yesterday's closing prices. Corrox,—Owing to the inclemency of the weather the market for cotton on the spot was without activity. Holders remained very firm in their views, however, tor all grades save grades’ below good ordinary, which con- tinued weak, irregular and nominal in ue. At the second caii March “short notices” received bids of 15%gc., Without sellers. ‘The market for forward deliveries was generally firm, at an advance of $-82c,, but there was comparatively litte disposition manifested to operate. ¥ d We quoie:— u Uplands.
