FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The Business Aspect---The True Causes of Commercial Distress. CPE Sess EVENTS OF THE WEEK. Review of the Gold, Stock and Bond Markets. Wau. Srrert, Sunpay, Sept. 12, 1875, With the exception of one or two failures, the move- ment in Erie and the rise of gold, the events of the past week in financial circles were unimportant, Busi- hess Gives no udditional signs of improvement, although \t is said a rmore cheerful tone prevails, and stocks of goods are gradually finding their way into the channels Of distribution. In Boston the effect of depression is severely felt in all of her manufacturing industries, In Philadelphia trade is only moderately active on a ma- terially lower basis. Advices from Baltimore report that the recent excitement caused by the failures of Btirling, Ahrens & Co, and of the Calvert refinery is fast subsiding, and notwithstanding the figures repre- venting the liabilities are large, it is not now believed that the disastor will materially affect any of the mercantile houses or financial institutions, Western news states that the weather in that section has been favorable for the maturing and harvesting of the crops and has improved the corn and cotton prospects. From SAN FRANCISCO we learn that quiet has been there restored. The Mer- chants’ Exchange Bank has resumed, and the National Gold Bank and Trust Company is reported to be settling with its depositors and carrying on business informally, but the Bank of California apparently is in statu quo. Nine new mining companics are said to nave been organized in San Francisco since the failure, with a total capital of $78,700,000. As has been truly said, “The rapidity of the recovery from the shock of the failure is not only a disappointment to the inflationists, who were too hasty to seize the occurrence asa test given out for their benefit, but shows the healthiness of California finances, and the fact that although a ‘gold basis’ may be disturbed, it readyusts itself more speedily than a paper one does.” Indeed, confidence might pverywhere be revived at an early day if it were not for the efforts of the public men and that portion of the press who have undertaken to establish one of THE GREATEST FALLACIES ever presented to the people. In the language of a speech by General Gartield, delivered a few days ago, “It is conspicuously untrue that the present distress was caused by a contraction of the currency, for at the time when the crash came in September, 1873, there was more currency in circulation than at any time for several years previous, At that time the greenbacks, fractional currency and national bank notes outstand- ing amounted to $740,000,000. This was twice as much as the high#st amount ever pushed into circulation at any one time previous to the war. A further proof that the crisis was not caused by a lack of circulation is the fact that by the act of June, 1870, the banks were allowed an increase of currency to the amount of $54,000,000. This amount would certainly have been issued had there been a real demand for it, But when the crisis came in 1873 only about half that amount had been issued. The business of the country had not tailed for it, “Tt is the invariable lesson of history that a great in- erease of paper money disturbs values, promotes specu- lation and over-trading, hastens a crisis and aggravates its effects, In the three years which precsted the great trash of 1837 the bank note circulation was increased nearly fifty per cent. It rose from $95,000,000 in 1834 so $149,000,000 in 1837. In 1857 the volume of currency had beenexpanded to the highest point it had ever reached, and when the crash of that year came there ‘was $215,000,000 in circulation, which soon after col- Yapsed to $15,000,000. All this DERANGEMENT OF INDUSTRY may be produced by a great and sudden increase of toin. Witness the remarkable crisis from which Prus- sia is now suffering. As the result of her late war she received from France the enormous indemnity of $1,000,000,000 in coin; and it was paid to her within the period of two years and a half. With such vast ro- wources the government commenced the build- ing of extensive public works and thus stimu- lated to an unusual degree many branches of industry. The people followed the example of the fovernment, and over-production, over-trading avd speculation were the order of the day, until a crash tame, the worst Prussia has suffered for half a century. An able Prussian writer has lately said it would have deen better for the German people if not a dollar had deen paid by France. THE TRUE CAUSES OF OUR DISASTER,”? says Mr. Garfield, “were that we converted our floating tapital into fixed forms faster than financial health allowed. We lent the deposits of our banks for perma- nent works. We built railroads at the rate of 7,000 miles a year, Our furnaces and mills were pushed to their utmost capacity. Capitalists rushed into business on the rising tide of prosperity. New furnaces and mills were built in all directions. The capacity of old ones was increased. It was not long before the markets were glutted, but still the work went on, Mill owners used up them surplus earnings in pushing on the work, and then drew on the future. A superficial observer would have pronounced this the happy rally of prosper- pus industry. He would have pointed tothe neat and comfortable homes of miners and mill hands, and to the great activity of capital and labor, But every day wit- nessed the destruction of capital, the accumulated earn- ings of previous years. Every ton of iron thus foreed upon an overstocked market was reducing the value of the whole stock on hand. Millions of capital bad been wasted in starting railroads that could not be com- pleted and in completing others that could only be run ataloss, Seven millions of dollars were sunk out of sight amid the snows and deserts of the Northern Pa- cifie Railroad.” Facts like these require no comment, THE STOCK MARKKT, The principal points of interest here were in connec- tion with Western Union and Erie—the first having declared a quarterly dividend of two per cent, payable pn the 1th of October, and the latter having sent abroad in a comfortable frame of mind the committee of English bondholders who recently made a flying tour over the road. It is said that these gentlemen ex- pressed a willingness to accept for their bonds the amount originally paid for the eame, If this arrange- nfent can ve effected there will be a reorganization of she company on an equitable basis, the receivership will be vacated and about $30,000,000 be saved. Cer- winly it would prevent foreclosure, Sir Edward Wat- kin insisting on the reorganization of the Board, Messrs, Barlow and Marshall U, Roberts retired, and their places were filled by Messrs, Brown, of Portland, and Welsh, of Philadelphia. It is alleged that this action was necessary from the _ NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, SEP business, will perhaps play an cnn part in tho history of American commerce. THE CHANGES IN STOCKS. These were as follows:—Western Union advanced \ from 784 to 814g, but later fell off to 7934 and closed at a recovery to 80.a804{. Lake Shore was prominent in the dealings and fluctuated frequently between 57% 655%. There was & rally at the close to 56%. Pacific Mail advanced from 3644 to 3844, but afterward partially reacted, Northwest common rose from 38% to 4034, proserred from 5434 to 553g, St. Paul from 8534 to 3745 and preferred from 62% to 6434, but the improvement was lost toward the close. Harlem fell off from 14 129 and afterward recovered, Union Pacillc declined from 7334 to 7244, and later advanced to 735 on the declaration of the increased dividend, Missouri Paciilc fell off from 4734 to 4534 and Atlantic and Pacific pre- ferred from 12}4 to 10, with closing transactions at 46 and 11 respectively, Atlantic aud Pacific rose from 20}; to 22, but the improvement was later lost, The fluctu- ations in the balance of the list were less important. Erie closed at 164g alter sales at 197%. Panama ad- vanced to 142, but closed at 137, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES OF ik WREK, The following table shows the extreme fluctuations for the week in the leading shares :— New York Central. ‘lem Erie prefer Lake Shore Wabash...

THE MONEY MARKET, Money during the week rose from 1g to 4 per cent, with the bulk of business done at intermediate quota- tions, The bank statement, in its exhibit of a loss of legal tenders, indicates a transfer to other centres for the movement of crops. Mercantile paper is reported as follows by the leading note brokers:— “ GROCRRY CURRENCY PAPER, Siaty Days.

If we add to these natural causes fora higher premium the insane policy of the Ohio and Pennsylvania democrats we have sufficient reasons for the advance during the week from 11434 to 117}; anda “squeeze” in cash gold ranging from 1-16 to6-16. At the Treasury sale of $600,000 on Thursday the total bids were $1,860,000, but the whole amount to be sold was awarded to one party at 115.40, The fuct is not ignored by thoughtful men that the Treasury has withheld $15,000,000 of silver from export in pur- suance of the silver resumption policy, and, of course, that amount of gold coin bad to be exported in its place. Twenty millions of five-twenties were called in for payment during the first halfof the year under the Sinking Fund law. Therefore, $35,000,000 more gold have been called upon for export than would otherwise have been sent abroad. Having drained San Francisco of its coin, we have been called upon to return the same, and now find ourselves with only $10,000,000 of specie in the banks. is it not natural that speculators should have taken advantage of this weak- ness and controlled the market to suit themselves? ‘The fluctuations ofthe week were as follows :— Oeming, Le Lowest.

Under this influence prices have ad- vanced quite sharply, and to-day a New York Central fact that Mr, Jewett’s name had been unpleasantly \ complicated with certain speculative transactions prior to his appointnient as receiver, The President of Erie, like Cwsar’s wife, felt that he should be above suspi- cion and accordingly took the step described, which puts the road in harmony with its English owners, THE TELEGRAPH WAR i$ Assumed a now phase, the Anglo-American cable Maving taken the jnitiative by reducing the rates to one whilling @ word, It is said that this reduction does not Mfect the land lines to Nova Scotia, so that if loss | should be entailed it will fall entirely upon the ocean cable, One of the principal officers of the Western Union claims that “they will be able to starve out all competition, even at the lower rutes;”? but it would be & misfortune to the business interests of the country if such competition should cease and a monopoly rule.

The Erie Railway Company began paying the second and third mortgage bonds due September 1. The prin- cipal and interest of $4,580,000 6 per cent sterling bonds were not paid; these are not a mortgage, but were made convertible into first consolidated mortga, bouds, which latter rank after the old fifth mortgages, under which the receiver holds his place, COMMERCIAL REPORT.

STEALING FROM HIS EMPLOYER—BURGLARY IN CENTRE STREET. For some time back Mr. Joseph D. West, of No, 40 Cortlandt street, has been missing goods from his store. He had several men in his employ, but was at a loss whom to suspect, At last he reported the matter to Captain Saunders, and the latter detailed Detective McDonald to work up the case, Yesterday McDonald arrested Henry Liniber, of No. 1 Forsyth street, an employé of West's, on’ suspicion of being the thtet. While in custody the latter admitted having stolen a quantity of lightning rods from West and having sold it to Thomas J, Weeks, doing business at No. 213 Pearl street. Weeks was also arrested, Both the prisoners were taken before Justice Duily yesterday and held to answer. Weeks, it is alleged, Was formerly a preacher in the northern part of the State.

MIDNIGHT STRUGGLE YOR LIFE IN A TENEMENT HOUSE—A MAN ATTEMPTS TO KILL HIS WIFE AND COMMITS SUICIDE, A horrible tragedy took place ina tenement house in the rear of No, 339 West Thirty-ninth street at a late hour on Saturday night. A short account of the bloody event appeared in yesterday’s Hzraxp. The details are as follows :— Frederick Judd, a German, aged forty-eight years, by occupation a locksmith, returned to his home at the above number at half-past ten o’clock on Saturday night. He was in a gross state of intoxication, In his hand he carried a bottle half filled with brandy, out of which he began to drink the moment he entered the house, His wife, Caroline, remonstrated with him, urged him to stop drinking and to go to bed. The drunken man finally complied with the request. Judd and his wife had been in bed but a short time when the former became very violent and threatened to kill Mrs. Judd, She endeavored to pacify him, but, finding her efforts in that direction unavailing, determined to rise and seek safety in another part of the house. Accord- ingly, she attempted to leave the room, but her drunken and infuriated husband caught her by the throat with one hand, while, with a sharp pocket knite held in the other, he stabbed her in the neck, Mrs, Judd screamed and struggled to get away, but her strength was feeble in comparison with that of her hus- band, who is a man of powerful build. She succeeded, after'a while, in CATCHING HOLD OF THR KNIFE, but the temporary advantage soon ended in increased injury to her, for, with a vigorous pull, the brutal hus- band wrenched the weapon from her grasp, and, as the Diade passed from her left hand, it cut that member isignd and tnen persuading the Legislature to adopt lave preventing any procrastination of at least the prelimin- ary steps of building the structure for rapid transit, The Henatp deserves the honor, for its influence bas caused so much interest to be taken in the matter. All lasses of people concur in the advantage of being con- from one part of the city to another more ynveniently than by our horse cars it conte ety is established, but there is a di as to the practicability of the structure, 1 own property) on Third avenue; [aia aresident of the upper part of the city an tend to my business down town, so L would derive a benefit if L could re “h my store from my home in fifteen minutes ono hour, There appexrs to be no doubt as to the solidity of the structure, when the matter is leit to the discretion of such an excellent commission, with Joseph Seligman at the head. ‘Their work thus far can- not be too highly commended, for they have served the publ with philanthropical devotion, It is now to bo hoped that the adopuon of the plan will meet with the sathe approbation as the selection of the road; the structure will not be elegant and occupy the centre of the street, directly over the present. car tracks, them strenuous efforts will be made to prevent the road ‘being on Third avenue, Many of my friends, who also owD property on the avenue, will disfavor any plan which provides for the structure on the sidewalks, as it will be annoying to have cars run over pedestrians? heads and in proximity to stores and houses, which will cause trade to be detracted from the avenue, and them jally decrease the value of real, estate, to the in- of the owners. Many will make their purchases where, aud storekeepers will object to have the card close Lo their doors. In the Hekavo of last Friday appears a statement of Mr. McDonald, an engineer, as follows:—He believes that plicing the tracks in the centre of the street right over the car tracks wquld be productive of an annoy- ance, more especially on the Third avenue, where the carts and wagons, in passing out from the’ horse car Satthe approach of a street car, migt be ob- struct ed by posts Mr, McDonald is certainly very considerate for those who drive on the horse car tracks and whose vehicles might come in contact with thé posts at the approach of a car; but the pedestrians, es- pecially the ladies (not drivers), _ storekeep~ ers, and even those drivers who’ are obliged to let their vehicles stand near the sidewalk, are entitled to the same regard as Mr. McDonald ives, to the genial drivers who run against posts. side- walks should be free from any encumbrance, either on or above them, ard the middle road should used on one side for going up and the other for going down. The avenue is wide enough to accommodate wagons on each side of the tracks. At crossings the posts can be so far apart as to not obstruct any vehicle which passes from a side street. The commission should now oppose aby sirteture like the dilapidated appearing Greenwich Street Elevated Road and any other over the sidewalk; but if they do not, then it is probable that every owner of real esiate on Third avenue will endeavor to obstruct the road on that thoroughfare. It is also probable that the Supreme Court will recognize the feasibility of their objection, if the mutter is left to that body to decide. ‘New Youx, Sept. 1, 1875. R. DONGALIES.
