FINANCIAL AND COMMER The Dilatory Policy of Congress---The Problem Still Unsolved. ENCOURAGING STATISTICS. Review of the Markets---Stocks, Gold, Gov- ernment and Railroad Bonds. GREENBACKS 88 CENTS AND 1 MILL WALL STREET, Sunpay, April 5, 1874. Another week lias passed and the currency prob- Jem remains unsolyed. Meanwhile there is a growing feeling of distrust in, if not contempt for, Congress, The real financiers of the country have @xpressed this feeling openly, and now even the Workingmen begin to realize that by the stupidity @f legisiation, or rather of the waut o! it, the Jaborer’s dollar bill, which, on the Ist of November Was worth 92%; cents, has been reduced in value to 88 cents on the doliar. There is but one way Out of the dimculty, and that, althougn it is not likely ‘0 be adopted, is for Congress to return to the fundamental principles of political economy. ‘That body has no constitutional right to issue more paper and call it a dollar, and doubly so when itis Bot based on actual property available tor its re- demption. NO LEGISLATION CAN PREVENT PANICS, and no amount of foresight can prevent the con. tingency o! failure to any class of people who live beyond their income or invest their means in un- @ertakings that can never pay interest. It is equally impossible to make money stay where it is not wanted or to put money in the pockets of those who bave not the wherewith to buy it, We have fo much currency now. The fact that it is not at par with gold shows that itis not only not too small im volume, but that it is actually excessive; and the more we have the more will the people even- tually suffer from the consequences, It may take ten paper dollars to buy a bushel of wheat or one gold dollar, but nu sane man will contend Vhat the farmer would be getting any more value for bis wheat than he gets to-day. Now, the American people are eminently practical. They are averse to experiments, especially upon such a delicate subject as that of finance, and by such an mexpericnced and purely theoretical body as Con- gress. WHAT THE COUNTRY WANTS is the recognition o! a few plain propositions, such, for instance, as that gold is the only basis of a sound currency; that paper redeemable in gold ts the best currency; that currency is that form of credit which gets its birth in business transactions and represents an existing value, either gold or Property; that currency untrameiled by govern- ment interference regulates its own volume; that @ depreciated currency depreciates the credit of a Wation; that a depreciated currency inflicts moral Mi upon ali classes, but throws the material loss @nd suffering mainly on the jarmer ‘and laborer; snd, finally, that a depreciated currency tends to create and aggravate panics, Senator Sargent, ot California, not long ago said, on the Moor of the Senate:—“Fortunately for my own State, during ‘whe past ten years, or since these financial prob- | Jems became of interest, it has had astable currency. thas had a currency peculiariy its own, And during all that time we have not had, by reason of the abundance or superabundance of money, infla- tion of values; nor, when the business of the coun- try or other causes eilected a proportionate de- crease in the volume of the currency have we bad prices failing, breaking down our business and re- ducing the value of our property. We have had during all that time no panics of any description ‘@nd scarcely 4 notabie faulure.”’ This is a sermon in a nutshell. OUR FOREIGN commfRce. The statistics of foreign commerce for 1872 and 1873, recently published by the bureau at Washing: | ton, are calculated to inspire confidence. Our to- tal exports, exclusive oi specie, for the year enuing December 31, 1873, amounted to a total, in round Bumbers, of $550,000,00—an increase of no less ‘tran $95,000,000 on the previous year. Our specie ex- ports last year were $56,000,000—a reduction of $36,000,000 as compared with 1872 The import trade also exhibits satisfactory results, amount- ing last year to $595,000,000 or $60,000,000 less than im 1872, Iu other words, foreign trade has reached @ condition more healthy than it has been at any time since the close of the war. The country is selling more than it buys, and the panic has not been without its attendant blessing in checking the spirit of extravagance that expended itself in the purchase of foreign goods. The suspension of Fatlroad enterprises, which in turn gave employ. ment to hundreds of other industries that re- | quired the use of Joreign manufactures, has like- wise reduced the volume of imports, and given to the country a chance to get more nearly even with ita great European creditors. currency of the world 1s merchandise. That which settles American balances in foreign lands is gleaned trom our cotton and tobacco fields, pumped from our petroleum wells, grown tn the wheat fields of the broad West and found in the mines of the Rocky Mountain and Pacific slope. These will always lave their standard of value in the settlement of international accounts, and it is only an enemy of his country, who, pretending to be a political economist, will attempt to depreci. a@te that value at home by legislating into exist- ence untold miillons of irredeemable paper cur- Tency.

Beyond the discussion of the currency question in Congress there have oeen during the past week few disturbing influences in this market, the fluc- tuations being more irequent than wiae, Erie was the chief sufferer for a time, in consequence of a break in the London price, occasioned by the strike at Susquehanna, and the reported trouble between the Atlantic and Great Western party and the present administration, The price declined on the other side from 36 to 8244, but after the fortnightly settling day advanced to 35, In this market the price declined from 40 to 37%, but recovered late in the week to u9%, A reported panic in London likewise served to create a@ depressing effect on the general list of stocks, until the denial of the fact was received, whereupon there was a partial recovery, the market closing steady. Tne effect of inflation is not immediately apparent, except on gold, and there are nota few who predict disap- pointment to those who have purchased stocks in anucipation of an advance. The extreme dulness of the market, the diMcuity with which it is moved upward and the comparative smaliness of dealings are facts swongly suggestive of the dis- trust with which THE SITUATION is regarded, if indeed they do not corroborate the belief that the possibility of inflation was dis- counted three or four mopths ago, and prices have about reached the top. It is by no means certain, however, that m the event of a larger expansion of currency than $900,000,000, temporary strength willbe given to some of the most speculative securities, although it may be followed by an early decline.

From the statistics of an Austrian journal of finance it appears that the Vienna panic was much more widespread and disastrous than generally supposed at the time. In Austria eight banking Tepresenting an aggregate capital of 200,000 florins; two insurance companies, rep- resenting 2,800,000 florins; one railway company, representing 600,000 florins, and seven industrial establishments, representing 3,000,000 florins, have failed outright, Forty banking establishments, witn 139,400,000 florins capital; insurance compa- nies, with 6,200,000 florins; one traMe establish- ment, with 1,600,000 florins: eighteen building so- with 61,900,000 florins, and thirty-four iné resorted to liquidation.

The number of fusions or amaigama- dence and a return of the favor with which thig | #0MS effected is not stated, Class of securities has heretofore been regarded, Notwithstanding a decline in the earnings of many of the railroads tne large surplus of money now on hand is likely to be more or less invested in their bonds, in prefersnce to encountering the risks of the speculation that is likely to ensue in the fature, ia tis connection, the FRANK CONFESSION of President Thompson, of the Pennsylvania fail. road Company, will be read with interest, for jt is rarely that the public are éreated to such testi- mony from an official source. He says: A close examination of the accounts of this com- pany will show that its charges for freight upon agricultural products scarcely bear the expenses ol transportation, and on many items the charge: for transportation are below actual cost, leaving for the conveyance of the aggregate tounage of agricultural products littie or no profit to the rail- road company.

Gold advanced trom 112% on Yonday to 113% on Wednesday, the speculation gathering strengwn from the reported crisis ia London, Subsequently it declined to 113% a 1134, closing steady and firm at1i3%.

The directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad have unanimously re-elected their old officers—John Edgar Thomson, President; Thomas A. Scott, First Vice President, and George B.

The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company have declared a quarterly dividend of 234 per cent in cash, on the preferred and common stock, pay- able, clear of all taxes, at the ofice of the company in Philadelphia on and after the 24th inst. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail- road Company have declared a quarterly dividend of 2) per cent, payable on and after the 20th inst.

Par gallon, ' every standpoint, The determined stand which Congress has finally taken tn favor of inflation has caused universal apprehension and disirust have been fearful about taking a single step beyoud what ta demanded by the exigencies of the moment. All legitimate enterprises are hampered, and only speculation, pure and simple, is stimulated, while even tu this field there has thus far been no con- siderable movement, owing to the great diver- gence of opinions relative to the degree of depre- clation the currency 1s likely to atrain to, Many contend that the action recently taken is but the Stepping stone to still higher or lower fights of folly, and tue mercantile community naturally hesitate about putting any faith in the ayowals of such men as have put themselves on record in favor of a further debasement of the national currency and by the same means have wrought the national dishonor. If the pledged faith ot the nation can be so readily broken by the law makers or law breakers in one fh- stance, there would seem to be no guarantee whatever for the future. Hence no faith is placed tn the assevera- tions of the imftationists that $400,000,000 will be the limit fo the currency. It is about as hkely to be fixed at $500,000.00 as the smaller figure; in view of which both buyer and seller are apprehensive and sign contracts with considerable hesitancy. The dry goods business was greatly depressed during the greater part of the week, and, though considerable business was consum- mated, it was on a lower basis for all kinds of cotton fabrics, it having become evident that lower prices wontd have to be accepted or the spring trade would be unusually dwarted, Even as itis the aggregate business will, undoubtedly, be very light. The hardware business was also slow, but weak; but the most active season in this department is over. At tho Produce Exchange business from day to day was very light; but, with the inflation policy indorsed by Con gress, it was hard work tor buyers to get prices down Tey, much, while the first indications of increasing ac- tivity were invariably met advai ao eg in view of which business was t.
