FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The Currency Bill Now Before the President. 1T MEANS INFLATION AND DISASTER. An Excited Stock Mar- het Yesterday. A Sharp Decline of Prices and Partial Recovery. | ° ' et GREENBACKS 87 CENTS 9 MILLS. | Gold Steady, Money Easy—Other Markets Generally Dall. WALL STREET, Fripay, April 17—9 P. M, The President may or may not sign the Currency ‘bit pow before him providing for an issue of trre- deemable paper money to the amotnt of $100,000,000, The fact will always remain un- challenged, however, that Congress has no right under the constitution to declare any money legal tender, especially in time of peace, save silver and gold, The publication of paper promises to pay, even in time of war, was @ lame and doubtful expedient, and defensible only on the plea of necessity; but especially now honor and policy, principle and interest, experience, PHILOSOPHY AND FACT, all are arrayed against this monstrous usurpation of power. Inflation, instead of being a remedy, is only an aggravation of evil, It has already un- | settied values, put an embargo on legitimate trade and is silently but surely paragyzing indus- tries. When the market price of gold is above its | mint price it means redundancy of paper | money. It means also that a fluctuaung currency increases the price of everything that enters into consumption, and that the workingman, as the great national creditor, finally pays the difference, receiving as an equiva- lent for nis own production a price that is regu- Jated by the price of gold. In the strong language ofa Western Senator, our present currency, tu- stead of being the spade of the husbandman, is THE DICE BOX OF THE GAMBLER. Until the panic nobody dreamed that we wanted more money. Even now, who fails to 9b- tain loans on sufficient security ? Money will low where it is most profitable, wherever specula- tive securities abound, whether they be located im Texas, Utah or New York, and not al! the legis- Jation of all the Mortons, Logans and Merrimons in the world can prevent its gravitation in such a Girection. The dill now awaiting the action of the President embodies no measure of relief, Itis a crude compromise between contending factions. li antagonizes laws o! trade, and just so surely as it goes Inco effect it will unsettle and disturb the @nxnces of the country and be the cause of dis- astrous and sudden panics. THE MONEY MARKET. Money closed very easy at 3 and 4 percent on call. Discounts are unchanged. Foreign exchange Was quiet and firm at 4.85 for prime bankers’ sixty days sterling and 4.88 for demand. Commercial bills are scarce, and quoted at 4.8114 a #82'% for documentary and 4.83 a 4.54 for bankers’ accept- ances, GOVERNMENT BONDS. Government bonds clused qmet and steady at the following quotations:—United States currency sixes, 116% a 117%; do. do., 1861, registered, 11954 119%: do. do., coupon, 121% 121%; do. five- | twenties, 1862, registered, 114%{ 21154; do. five- twenties, 1862, coupon, 118); a 118 do. do., 1864, Tegistered, 1164; a 11614: do. do., 1864, coupon, 120 @120};; do, 1865, registered, 1164 @ 116%; ao, five-twenties, 1865, coupon, 121% a 121%; do new. registered, 1187 a 119s; do. 1865, coupon, 119% a 119 do. 1867, registered, 119% a 120; do. coupon, 1867, 12044 a 120%; do. 2868, regis. tered, 119% a Jo. coupon, 1868, 120 a 120%; do. ten-forties, registered, 114’; a115; do. do, coupon, 114% a 115; do. fives, 1881, registered, T14% a 11514; do, do,, 1881, coupon, 116% a 1164;. THE UNITED STATES TREASURY. The customs receipts to-day were $247,000, The Assistant Treasurer paid out $14,000 on account of interest and $15,000 im redemption of five-twenty bonds. The report of the United States Treasury, at Washington, shows that there is in the depart- mMent—carrency, $2,500,000; coin, $88,500,000, less coin certificates $35,000,000, THE GOLD MARKET. Gold to-day was steady at 11344 a 113% a 118% a 113%, the speculation being limited. At the clos | ing price of gold greenbacks are worth 87 cents | and 9 mills. The diagnosts of the tmture of we market is very uncertain and opinion seem’ to be | equaliy divided with reference to the movement Of prices. The rates paid tor carrying were 3, 234, 2 and 334 per cent, and for borrowing, fat. OPERATIONS OF THE GOLD Gross clearances. CLEaRE Currency exchanges Currency balanc exchanges. . The imports of foreign dry goods ‘at this port for the week ending to-day were $1,728,635, and the amount marketed $1,963,297. The imports for the corresponding period of last year were $3,300,999, and for 1872 $3,063,711. In this department we may confidently look for a decline or business. The people are learning lessons of economy. The mer- chants complain of dulness of demand and inability to dispose of goods, and at the present moment our largest dealers are moving with the utmost caution in adapting their business to the commer- cial changes which loom up in the not distant fatare.

Nearly all of the active speculative stocks experienced a decline ranging trom 1 to 3 per cent; but later in the day @ reaction set in and recovery was marked at from 3g to 2% percent, The usual assortment of rumors Were distributed, and these, in addition to the un- certainty attaching to the action of the President with reierence to the Currency bill, served their purpose in promoting A FEVERISH SPIRIT OF SPECULATION. The evidence that stocks were being unloaded which were bought and held for a rise, heretoiore alluded to in this column, was again apparent, although the rally of the afternoon materially checked the pressure to sell. The judgment of the street with reference to the situation has rarely been more unsettled than it is at the present ume; bat the downward course of prices, stimulated by such natural causes as diminished railroad earn- ings, the Granger legislation and the yet unsolved money prodlem, has tendea to increase the bear feeling and create a strong following. The following figures generaliy describe THE COURSE OF THE MARKET. New York Central closed last night at 98, opened this morning at 973, receded 10964, recovered to 98, and closed at 97%; C., C. and 1.
