4 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCLIL ‘Congressmen and Their In- consistencies. A FEVERISH STOCK MARKET. Gold, Bonds and Other Securities Await- ing National Legislation. WALL STREET, WeEpNEsDay. April 86 P. M. In all the turbulent periods through which our country bas passed there never bas been a time when Congress so completely as now ignored the expressed will of the people, discarded precedents and turned its back upon the sagacious counsels of the trained representatives of public senti- ment, in the present instance the issue involved is the management of that most delicate of all | subjects, the interests of commerce. Bank officers, | Boards of Trade, Governors and Legislatures have | uttered their words of warning. Facts and figures | Pave been evolved, the force of which, it would seem that nothing can gainsay; yet Congressmen, obedient only to the ignorant clamor of constita- ents, if not to something worse in the shape of personal interest in the manipulations of the stock or real estate markets, nave deliberately shut their eyes to the tremendous evils which their action will surely entail, dishonored the nation and forsworn their pledges to sapport the constitution, It 18 only a little while ago that the man Morton, who assumes to be the leader of the inflationists, himself announced on the floor of the Untted States Senate that “we have a debased and depreciated currency, not worth more than seventy cents on the dollar.” This, he said, “lies at the foundation of all our financial troubles, and “I believe the way to begin is to begin at the founda- tion and take some step directly in the direction of a resumption of specie payments. Let us say to-day that we pledge the surplus gold and that which shali accumulate this financial year and the next to the redemption of the legal tender notes, and the very moment that declaration be- comes 8 law, in my opinion, the premium on gold ‘Will go down one-half.” This is the testimony of | the leader. THE MONEY MARKET. Money to-day loaned, as usual, at 4 and 5 per cent on call, closing at 3 and 4 per cent. An abundance is awaiting investment in legitimate industrial enterprises, but while Congress con- | 2 tunnes to tinker with the laws of trade, capitalists will continue to hold their usable wealth well in band and allow millions to be quoted simply in | connection with call loans or the idle assets of | banks. Foreign exchange continues dul and | steady at 4.86 for prime bankers’ 60 days sterling and 488 for demand. With a slight concession for actual business, commmercial bills are scarce; continental quiet but firm; Retchmarks, 95% a | 95% and 96% a 96%; cables, 96% @ 96%; prime Paris, 5.19% and 5.13%. ‘THE UNITED STATES TREASURY. The customs receipts to-day were $280,000. The Assistant treasurer to-day paid out $25,000 on ac- count of interest and $15,000 1m redemption of 5-20 bonds, THE GOLD MARKET. Gold opened at 1135, and subsequently advanced to 113%. Afterwards it ylelded to pressure and elosed at the opening price. The carrying rates ‘were 2)4, 2, 3% aud 4 per cent.

Operators are waiting on the fur- | 20 ther action of Congress, and meanwhile there is | jy, little disposition to engage in new ventures.

Ifa Vote could be taken on the street it would indicate lower prices, Congress has not only demoralized the general situation, but disturbed the basis of individual Jadgment.

WEDNESDAY, April 8—6 P. M. The trade movement was moderate, especially in merchandise for immediate delivery. There was rather more disposition to purchase contracts ahead, but prices were without material change. At the Produce Exchange flour qas in fair de- mand and firmer. Wheat was wanted to some extent lor export, and the earlier purchases were at full prices, but the market subse- quently became tame and closed some- what lower. Corn was fairly active and firmer but at the close the extreme prices could not be realized, particularly as juture sales were consider- ably below those now current. Oats were also firmer, under a fair demand. Whiskey wasquiet. Pork was sold tosome extent for future delivery at rather easier terms. Lard sold pretty freely at full prices tor fature delivery, but closea a shade easier. Groveries remained quiet, with the exception of sugar, which met with a fair demand at steady prices. Cotton was quict, and forward deliveries declined about 1-16c, per Ib. Petroleum ruled about steady and met with a moderate demand. There was more business done in naval stores at easier figures for spirits of turpentine and about steady Prices for rosin.
