“FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Business Prospects---The Events of the Week, A FLURRY IN STOCKS. Review of Prices--The Market Generally Steady. Watt Senn} Sonpay, August 20, 1875 But for the failure of the Bank of California and the Suspension of Messrs, Stirling, Ahrens & Co., a large Baltimore sugar house, Wall street would not have been disturbed during the past week by a sensatiou. Neither of these events, however, produced more than a tem- porary effect, and the market, which for an hour or two sharply declined and showed symptoms of general de- moralization, speedily recovered. So far as tho first named institution is concerned, it is believed that the influence of its misfortune will be confined chietly to California, The collapse, although startling, was not unexpected by those who were familiar with the ex- travagance of speculation on the Pacific slope, aud it will teach a lesson that was required, Henceforth, business in San Francisco will, doubtless, be conducted on @ more conservative basis. Further news is awaited with much anxiety, as it is feared thut the opening of business will develop more weakness among a host of wmaller operators. “Whatever may be the result in | California, however, there are no apprehensions that the disasters will be felt in any of the Eastern cities seyond the blow that has been given to GRADUALLY REVIVING CONFIDENCE, Jor there is little question that the country is slowly improving. The people are waking up from the stupor of the panic, Merchants tell us that a more hopeful tone prevails in business circles independently of merely speculative influences, and eveh though the autumn trade has not begun to show great animation, To those who are impatient the process of recovery may not seem to exist at all, and the sloomiest of prognostications are always on their lips, but we cannot expect sudden strength to be de- veloped after such a terrible prostration as has been en- fured. The beginning of improvement does not come like a rising sun, It takes time for the better feeling to manifest itself through the whole system of ‘TRADE, and it is now doing so. “It may be noted,” says the Railway World, “among other signs, that our steel works are well employed for some time ahead in the manufacture of steel rails, and that our stock of tron rails is getting low; that hero and there railway com- panies aro reorganizing, and preparing to complete their lines; that railway traffic is increasing, and that she dry goods stores are showing more indications of irade, The market reports also look more gncouraging, and the tone is more cheerful and more active. In all of these various symptoms, which are apparent to im- partial observers, there is enough to warrant the ex- pectation of a more satisfactory condition of business.” If this ig true of the industries of Pennsylvania, it is true of other portions of the United States, ana there is some reason to hope that before the ond of the year we shall look upon a changed and more healthful condition of affairs. There is an abundance of money and it is seeking investment, Unproductive capital occupies a false and unnatural position. It is sensitive, and there- fore, if not idle, finds temporary employment in those slasses of securities the principal of which is eonsid- trod absolutely safe, and can be readily turned into money with little or no risk of loss, Hence the firm- ness of government and of certain railway and city bonds, which find favor because they afford a temporary resting place for funds pending the opportunity to in- veat in industrial enterprises. THR STOCK MARKET during the week was moderately active, and in the varly part of the week higher. The principal business was done in Pacifle Mail, Western Union, Lake Shore, Northwest and Erie, The largest improvement was pbservable in Panama and Pacific Mail. The former advanced from 132 to 142, but subsequently declined to 180 on receipt of the news of a probable war between Panama and some of the South American States. Pa- cifle Mail advanced from 384% to 4034, on the strength pf anew arrangement with Panama, whereby its loan vf $500,000 was renewed and a new and satisfactory | tariff adjusted between the two compariies, Later the price went off to 377; a 38, The Western stocks were a notable feature of the market, but much of the Strength acquired a few days ago was lost, the Cali- fornia troubles interfering with the effort made to maintain them. As a further result of the San Fran- cisco disasters Western Union touched 8144, Pacific Mail 37, Lake Shore 60, Northwest 40, do, preferred 64%, St. Paul 37, do. preferred 621, Missouri Pacific 47 and Hannibal and St. Joseph 23. The decline in the other shares ranged from }¢ tol percent. In the late dealings Western Union and Union Pacific were the leading features, the former advancing from 813g to 84 on reports that the joint committees had agreed | Outs dull and lowers 3 upon a plan of consolidation with the Atlantic and | Pacilic, the latter rising from 72% to more activity than for a long time past. The rise in this stock was based on rumors from Boston that the directors were in session and that the rate of quarterly lividends would probably be increased, Lake Shore wold up to 62, but finally declined to 6044, closing at 6024 461, Erie was exceptionally firm at 16. Rock Island mded strong at 10834 a 1084;. Ohio and Mississippi de- slined from 1934 to 183g, ending at 19 Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph sold at 2134 a 204 a 20%.

Gold rose from 11344 to 11434, the latter price being established on the arrival of the California advices.

THE ENGLISH MARKETS, OVERFLOW OF COIN AND BULLION IN THE BANK OF ENGLAND—LOWEST RATE OF DISCOUNT— AN ACTIVE ADVANCE IN UNITED STATES SE- CURITIES—REVIEW OF THE GRAIN TRADE. Loxvox, August 16, 1875. The unprecedented abundance of money continues, and, as far as can be seen, will continue for some time, ‘The lowering of the bank rate of discount, on the 12th, inst,, to two per cent—a rate which has been reached before, but is the lowest on record—was generally an- ticipated, and, indeed, for some days previously the leading discount houses had reduced their quotation to a still lower figure for the best three months paper. The total coin and bullion now in the vaults of the bank stands at the unparalleled figure of £29,000,090 sterling, and the reserve at £16, 500,000, Itremains to be seen how this superabundance of | money will be worked off. The value of money being now considerably below that ruling at most of the con- tinental centres, an export of specie must be the result, and already the fall in Fremch exchange to 22.1934 is attracting attention, that quotation being only three centimes above the specie shipping point.

Rigid Economy of All Classes of Buyers. A Thorough Examination of Credits In- sisted Upon by Sellers. Speculative Transactions in Abeyance Until the Currency Question is Settled. With the opening of September the interests of busi- ness men throughout the country are generally affected by the prospects of the full trade, as the most carefuy | Operators are at that time able to form an opinion whether the trade will be large and the movements in certain line’ light and steady or made exciting and un- From the reports gathered in this city: by conversa- tions with the prominent members of the several branches'of trade largely represented here, there is no doubt that the fall trade will be conducted on a strictly conservative basis. Large numbers of buyers from the South and Southwest, the North and North- west, have been circulating among the wholesale merchants, agents and jobbers durmg the past two weeks, examining goods and samples, getting thoroughly | posted upon the prices in the market and giving their views about the result of the crops, Fyrom Ohio, Indi- ana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas,)Nebraska and Dakota the news comes that good average crops hayo resulted from the lavors of the farmers, and that the freights of the Western railroads are increasing with sufficient rapidity to war- | rant the assumption that railroad property will suffer no further material depression. The corn, oats and wheat crops in Minnesota are equal to 97 per cent of the fullcrop. Michigan, Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota re- port the same cheerful aspect of affairs. Throughout Mtinois the corn crop will average 85 per cent, oats about 70 per cent, and not more than half a crop, In Missouri the corn will probably yield about three-quarters of a full crop, oats about one-half and the wheat not over a quarter, From Indiana the re- ports are better, giving the State 75 per cent on corn, 50 per cent on wheat and about 10 per cent more in oats. Towa will get acorn crop fully equal to 87 per cent of | the full crop, while on oats the figures can be placed at 84 to 86, and on wheat at 50 to 65 per cent. Inthe minds of the city merchants these reports indicate at least a satisfactory condition of affairs at the West, Which, coupled with the caution manifested by buyers from all secyons of the country to limit their purchases strictly to the supply for immediate wants, or to barely keep up assortments of stocks, has made a general im- pression that the trade during the balance of the year will be financially safe to both seller and buyer. In order to learn the feeling among gentlemen ac- tively engaged in supplying the Western and Southern | dealers in various lines, a Henao reporter called on several of the leading merchants and gathered the fol- lowing information relative to the pry Godbs TRADE. Among the agents of the manufacturers of domestic sheetings, shirtings and prints there is a firm impres. sion that there will not be any rush of buyers to this * city during the fall to lay in large stocks. The ‘‘sea- sons”? in these lines, as in nearly all others, are no longer recognized, Before the war merchants could | depend upon receiving a rush of buyers | in certain months of the year, when | the entire working forces of their es- tablishments would be used to their utmost | capacity, night and day, to fill orders. Then a dull season would follow, and ample time be given to pre- pare for the next excitement, Since then the increased facilities afforded by the general use of the electric tele- graph, an improved mail service and more rapid com- munication by steamboats and railways, have changed that system, and the country dealer or merchant re- mains more at home, watching the effects of a closer competition among the members of his own trade and guarding with greater care his private interests, other adyantage extended to the country buyers is the employment by city houses of large numbers of | travelling salesmen, who exhibit samples of the , latest styles of work sent to them at different | points aleng their routes as rapidly as they | can be forwarded, Each sample is numbered | and the buyer can erder by mail or telegraph with the | assurance that, if his credit is good, the merchandise will be promptly forwarded. With these lines to work over and the present uncertainty of the financial pohey. of'§tho country, out-of-town buyers have kept their stocks down to the lowest working basis, fearing that in the event of a sudden determination of the money question they would be compelled to carry over largo and depreciated stocks to another season, with little or | no chances of profit. | In nearly all lines of domestic dry goods the package | distribution has been fair, deaiors making moderate | bills, with careful selections for assortments, but | duplicating their orders as occasion required, so that it is an admitted fact that the | aggregate sales during the previous months of this year fully equal those of 1874, and in the experionce of several prominent houses the amounts exceed those of | | the previous year. Leading staple and special novelties designed for the fall trade haye been quietly moving in that way, but the market has no real animation. The assortment of dry goods of all lines upon the market is very choice and desirable, and prices are low. A careful coniparison of the prices quoted this year | with those of the corresponding period of last year will | from three to ten per cent, Agents manifest a disposi- lieving that the bottom prices have been reached. | Among the leading firms engaged in the jobbing busi- | ness the same impressious prevail, One of the mem- bers of a prominent firm stated to the reporter that he felt confident the people of the interior were doing « | safe and legitimate business, tur there was no specula- | tive demand and the dealers were buying continually, | but in small lots, Credits are more closely watched, | and as & consequence the unreliable men are rapidly | disappearing from. the ledgers of the city jobbers and | wholesale inerchants, their places passing into the hands | of those who can’ and will meet their payments promptly.

There has been no necessity to ki clerks working all night to fill orders; but they have been busy throughout the days, making up the ‘orders received: by mail and telegraph! One of the leading merchants stated that some of their customers the firm had never seen, They do not visit | New York to buy goods, but order in accordance with the lithographed or engraved sample books lett with them by travelling salesmen, So that year after year the visits of buyers to this city will become less’ tre- excitement, or rushes,” a steady, safe and reliable trade, limited to thirty days’ ‘credits, continuous through the year.

Some of the Western cities have started manu- factories and become distributing centres, “buying | the cloth at the East, Thus, throughout the business portion of the community there is a growing contideace in the ability of the country merchants to sustain them- | selves with auimpaired credits, if they continue to pur- maintain stocks, The merchants here will dispense with the semi-annual ¢‘rushes”’ of buyers and rest con- tented in the knowledge that in the place of such ex- Citement there will be a steady and full volume of trade towing to New York trom a class of merchants who are able und Willing to meet their obligations promptly, THE COURTS.
