ay FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The Call of $30,000,000 Bonds by the Secretary of the Treasury. ITS PROBABLE EFFECT Aold Strong at 16 3-4—Money 2 and & Per | Cent—Stocks Lower. ‘ADVANCE IN GOVERNMENT BONDS. WALL STRERT, \ THURSDAY, Marci 11—6 P. M. It was announced to-day that the call of Secre- tary Briatow embraces $30,000,000 bonds of the ‘issue Of 1862, and that $24,000,000 of the same are coupon and $6,000,000 registered bonds. ‘he effect was at once perceptible in the gold mar- Ket, where it was generally believed that this act of the government would speedily produce a scarcity of coin. On the ist of Murch there were oustanding $97,200,000 coupon bonds of this issue and $8,823,950 registered bonds, making a total of $106,024,000. The present and the preceding call Of $5,000,000 therefore cover nearly thirty per cent Of the entire loan, Of the coupon bonds the bulk of indebtedness isdue abroad, say in round numbers, $20,000,000. The others are mainly held @t home. 1t is argued from this fact that AN IMPORTANT INFLUENCE ‘will be manilest in the future movements of gold and exchange. The redemption of any portion of the public debt, while regarded by ail parties as eminently wise, 1s calculated to disturb a sensi- ‘ive market, and the advance of gold to-day was | therefore only one of the natural conditions ‘which for the moment attend the Congressional Process of reaching @pecie payments, ‘The nice relationship between bonds and gold makes the question of resumption or of reduction one of peculiar interest, The fact may eventually be developed that this aciion of the Secretary will enhance American credit abroad apd offset the misfortunes accruing irom failures, bad business and a decline of revenue; but if, as a result of the present call, we should be obliged to ship gold, or | ‘the new syndicate should encounter difMcuity in replacing with new fives the cancelled bonds, itis easy to see how speculators may take advantage of whe Gnancial situation and force the price of gold to higner than present figures. Douovtless, THE ACT OF THE SECRETARY ‘will carry with it much moral wetght, because he does not propose merely to make an excnange of @ecurities, but to pay in full a part of the govern- ment dept. Yet it remains to be seen whether r the home or the foreign bondholder will renew his ventures. If he does so we may finda healthy influence reflected upon ail classes of American obligations. If not, then the country most endure a damaging drain upon its gold resources at 9 time when the Treasury can afford to lose none; when the banks of tue country are depleted and merchants are at the mercy of those ‘who have locked up the reprepresentative com- modity of the world, The purpose of the Secre- tary 19 regarded with much Satisfaction, and there is not @ patriot on Wail street who does not wish him Godspeed. is one of the most important movements that have taken place since the war, and foreshadowing, as it does, the plans of the government, its success is being watched with ex- traordinary interest. Secretary Bristow is evi- dently intent in executing the letter of tne law; and if his experiment be successful and unat- | ‘tended by the sharp antagonisnis which have dis- turbed bis predecessors ne will achieve a prompt triumph. THE STOCK MARKET, ‘while active, was very irregular. Opinions are jairly diviaed between bulis and bears, and the reactions and fluctuations of the day were natu- ral sequences of the recent sharp advance. Handsome profits were made irom sales for the purpose of realizing, and fresh ventures com- menced at the lower prices established. The market is not regarded as unhealthy because of these sudden changes, inas- much as the latter invite fresh custom, and, by provoking fresh interests, new opportunities for speculation. Figures gen- erally were lower, as will be seen by a comparison between the closing prices yesterday and to-day. In point of activity ‘nion Pacific was the leader, 74,000 shares having changed hands between 464 and 48%. with a close at 46%. Next in importance was Pacific Mail, which opened at 29%, advance} to 40%, feli off to 38%, and ended at tne latter price. Northwest common was active, at 45% a 45%, thence down to 44%, ending, how- ever, at 454. Olio and Mississippl was largely dealt in at 274 a 26a 26%.

D. Tappen, President of the Gallatin National Bank, called upon the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, who refused to give a verbal decision, though he dis claimed all intention of inspecting the banks. Mr. Cappem subsequently, on the 4th tnst., ad- | dressed to the Commissioner tae follo ic queries :— Firvst—Are notes, draits and acceptances, when mode payable at a bank, subject (oa stamp tax of two cents; and, if so, does the tax apply to notes, draits and acceptances drawn or accepted to Feoruary 5, 1874, and which bave matured am since been paid ¢ Second—Does the tax apply to checks draqn by ® bank upon itself, for the purpose of paying its own dividends and the dividends, coupous oF ta terest of other corporations ?
