FINANOEAE AND COMMERCIAL, Fourth of Julyism in Finance. TREASURY PYROTECIINICS. WALL STREET, SaTurpay, Juiy 4, i874, To-day 1s observed as a close holiday on the street and in the several markets here, If there is one thing more excusable than an- other in an American to-day itis that he should gush, and it may be unreservedly said that he aves 80, Whether we take himin Liliputien form, dis- charging his firecracker, or filing the position of No. 1 of the gun detachment towards a half ouncer, or, in herculean proportions, eudeavoring to fright the coming comet and tara it from its course witn discharges of blank cartridge. And in connection with this pyrotechuie display, ter- Testrial as well as celestial, there are some SUGGESTIONS PERTINENT to this locality. The comet Coggia, concerning which there is so much speculation of late, is an- nounced 28 making its appearance in connection ‘with the tail of the Great Bear. ‘his, of course, 13 not a most dignified entry, the popular belief in regard to comets being that they «isdained to hang on to anybody; but the story of the street during the past lew months may peraaps explain ‘tus friendly feeling toward Ursa Major. “The boys,” considering this new astronomical feature, may find ‘a fellow fecling in it, and realize the disposition in asilent “We know how itis ourselves.” Again, there may be others who regard the coruscating exhibit of tnis stellar visitor as a newglight upon the cnrrent situation, an entering we # nat may break up the great piane of centralized ideas ‘Wiich separates Ursa and Taurus, and so bring about a reconciliation, But, to get back from the skies to terra jirma, there is A LESSON IN THIS DAY that cannot be better applied, and at this time, than here. Money and patriotism are not usually supposed to be purely akin, although often mixed; yet in the case of our own country this Kepublic has a money value that can never be overlooked, Mr. Bristow, that distinguished pression of the fecundity uf the Blue Grass region, in developing fiscal genius, evidently thinks so. And this brings us down to SOME QUIET REFLECTIONS CONCERNING how far this effervescent belief in our own great- mess, so natural to this Fourth of July season, should be permitted to govern action calculated to extend over an entire year. That popular comedian, John Brougham, hag familiarized us in his famous burlesque of ‘Pocahontas’? with the term “Fourth of July-gers.”’ Is it not possible that we might drift into a Fourth of July-ism, equally grotesque, but far less amusing? Mr. Bris- tow, that eminent statesman, whoin Mr, Grant re- cently called to his atd to save the country from financial ruin, has seen fit to issue a circular asking proposals for the remaining $150,000,000 or less of the five per cent funding loan yet untaken. Mr. Bristow's inducement to do this was, as we learn from the Washington despatches, as well as from the gossip of the street, numerous Offers for portions of that loan, priucipally from German bankers, and ranging 1rom $1,000,009 to $20,000,000. It must be borne in mund, however, that eacn o! these offers bid tor tine opiion as well as the amount asked for; in other words, aimed at securing. A CORNER IN UNITED £TATES NEW FIVES, which have, within the past six months, exhib- fted a steadily increasing demand, Indeed, these offers were stimulated by the .act that the process of funding goiug on in a quiet Way—that is, the ex- change of overdue sixes into new tives, was paying @ handsome profit to those intermedisie agencies, both here and in Europe, through Whom the exchange was being made. Mr. Bris- tow evidently mterpreting the proposals submittea | to him and aggregating the total offers, instead of | perceiving that each separate one meant the ex- clusion Of ail others, has come ont with nis new declaration of independence at a most inopportune period, to the serious interruption of a safe move- ment in the operation of funding that was jar more effectual thun ali syndicate operations, more protit- able, inasmuch as it advanced our credit and more becoming, as 1t took us off the foreign markets as pediers of our own paper. Besides, Mr. Bristow exposes himsclf to this suspicion, state¢ clearly in Wall street and to be answered by him, that he is disposed to accept some one of the offers made him, which is not the best that could be done, and makes this public offer in order to find ‘8 justification for action already determined upon, well knowing there will be no response to his call. WHATEVER THE RESULT MAY BE— whether ir. Bristow effaces this suspicion by his subsequent conduct or not, a great blow has been truck at American credit. Mr. Bristow may bea very Bayard in respect to honesty, sans peur et gans reproche, but he has permitted the claim to be made in the face of the world of his entire unfitness (in respect to previous experience) for “the nigh office | he holds. His recent circular, giving him full credit for honest purpose, shows so complete an ignorance of the common laws whic rule in busi- ness circles as to amount to incapacity. Itisa very familiar expression “Rome was not built in a day,’’ but there is a world of meaning in it. THE OPERATION OF FUNDING ts necessarily one of growth, and has ever been best cariied out through the ordinary channels of intercourse that exist between borrowers and lenders—viz., bankers and brokers. These latter, of course, have a profit in the exchange; that is their business, No business man labors without a profit. If he engages in any operation that fails to pay he quickly abandons it. Governments can no more afford to ignore this natural human instinct than individ. uals, and it may be safely assumed that whatever business proposition loses sight o1 legitimate profit bas in it the expectation of illegitimate gain. There is a strong flavor of Fourth of July- ism in Mr. Eristow’s latest effort at funding, which is calculated to damage us in the esteem of finan- cial men on the other side. It is to be hoped there is nothing worse. In the meantime the govern- ment market is suspended for thirty days, and all contemplated dealings are off for iuat period. So much ior bluc-grass financiering. THE BANK STATEMENT bears out what was anticipated in tnis column, that the changes rendered necessary iu respect to ‘the reserves by the new Currency bill would not create any disturbance of moment. The surplus reserve shows a gain of over $800,009, the entire reserve being nearly $25,250,000. With sach an im- mense unemployed fund as this in the banks we are jar removed from any danger of stringency. THE CROP EXPECTATION is the most important feature of the general situa- tion, and, while it 18 universally conceded that our own yield ts abundant, some doubt is felt in regard to Russia, Hungary and other parts of Europe. It has been claimed in favor of these latter sections that the yield was proportionately equal to ours, and this has somewhat dashed the hopes of many of our people who haye been looking forward to heavy shipments hence, There are those, how- ever, who ciaim the reverse of this; and it Is ex- plained as one of the reasons why the recent meet- ing in this city of railroad managers fatled to 1x a reduction of freights, that further information ts required gon this head before the quality of the traMec for the next six months can be proximately gauged, EUROPEAN MARKETS, Fraxgrort Bourse—Frangrort.

Mr. Dows said:— garding transportation, never have the farmers been able to send their products to market, both by land and water, so cheaply as at the pres- ent time; and it is to the interest of both the rail- Toads and the grangers to harmonize their difer- ences, The trouble has been fomented by various mercantile and political demagogues, the former for the purpose of making cheap capital tor their houses in the East and the latter for obvious rea- sons, Public sentiment will, however, soon modify radical views on either side—it is indeed already dog so—and the New YorK Heraup in publishing the views of temperate men on the question will do much to make moderate counsels prevail by giving the people the truth, In regard to the late adverse action of tue Wisconsin and lowe Legislatures against the railroads, I think that in a little while all the duverences will be arranged; the raii- roads being willing to fix fuir rates of trans- portation to the seavoard and unwilling to submit to an odious system ot blackmail whica nas existed im the East.

Jeigh Crescent.} The Drift of Politics. [From thé Natton.] There have been some ripples in political affairs during the week, but on the whole it has been quiet. Up in New Hampshire the democrats in the Legistature have been beliaving ina manner to shock beyond expression their republican breth- ren. They have been turning the latter out of office, redistricting their districts in a subdoloas and gerrymanderiug manner and generally con- ducting themselves a3 republicans have done on similar occasions. The grief of the latter is not, therefore, soothed with universal sympathy, al- though 1t 1s feared that all these wiles of the democrats May hereatter secure that party a con- trol of the state, even when it has not carried it by the popular vote. Mr, E, H. Rollins, former repuolican maneger in New Hampshire, must hear this with @ grave smile. On the other nand, tt is predicted that, if this is what you call democratic reform, many men of independent minds “will cut bait tn the next election”—a nau- Ucal term meaning that they will reiuse all active participation in the campaign, In Massachusetts there is the withdrawal ot Mr. Dawes and Mr. George Hoar and the rumored withdrawal of Judge Hoar and General Butler. This would leave Massa- chusetts with a delegation weakened of tts strong- est elements both of good and evil; but loss would much preponderate over gain, especially as But- ler’s retirement because he chose, and not because he must, would make his disappearance not @ essing unmixed, And the new Congress needs to be strong, for it 1s to do its work amid the dts- tractions of a Presidential contest. Frony other arts of the country ltttle is now heard in Washington Mr. Creswell has resigned, and Mr, Hale, next friend of Mr. Blaine’s, has succeeded to him, thus giving the quidnunes a problem with which they have bee: very busy—bamely, whether this appointment | means that Mr. Biaine is General Grant's first choice? for the next Presidency and is to have the patronage, or whether it means that the President wished to propitiate Mr. Chandler, whose daugh- ter Mr, Hale married, in order that the father-Ine law might support him in getting a tuird term. ‘This question 1s not yet solved.
