§ 3 “FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The Situation Almost a Dry Rot— Review of the Week. THE MONEY AND GOLD MARKETS. Steadiness of Government and Good Railway Bonds—Investment Securities— Mining Intelligence. Wau. STREET, Suxpay, July i6, 1876, Aside from an apparent activity, which was princi- Pally the result of manipulation oa the Stock Ex- change, the markets of New York during the past week have presented a duiness unusual even for this season of the year. Thero bas also occurred a sharp decline in the values of some of the principal staples. Prone aa we are to look to the future for relief trom present woes, it is fitting that the lessons of the last few years should not pass unheeded, since they teach that the apple of prosperity 1s not to be plucked trom the un- cultured tree of anticipation, but only from the results of new works, new enterprises and new labors, and that even these prolific seeds, to be productive of sound fruit, must be planted in a sot! nourished by a real and intrinsically valuable money, and not in ove merely watered by a fluctuating credit, whether it pertain to the individual or the government. Who can review the results of THE FOOLISH AND ILLEGAL ISSUE of $26,000,000 of legal tenders after the panic of 1873 without acknowledging that it has been the principal stumbling tlock in the pathway of recuperation? To it was due the postponement of that rapid and prompt iquidation of insolvents whose bankruptcies h: since been scattered through the past three years, and the end is not yet, because stili undeveloped misfortunes arc competing with and clogging a sound and healthy trade, It was this issue that has cost the country miilions of dollars in enabling speculators to carry with “cheap money’? the products of the soil until waste and rot have well nigh made them worthiess. WHEAT TO-DAY is offered for sale at 90c. to $1 per bushel, in an un- sound condition, that might and would have been shipped to England jast autumn at from $1 15 to $1 25 if “money” had not been cheap. It has demoralized the country, and led not a small ciass of persons to be- lieve that one of the duties of the government isto sup- ply the people with money or a ‘‘circulating medium’? instead of depending upon the prompt sales and reali- zation of tho nation’s products, Therein lies the only true source of wealth, It is of little use, however, to plant and reap 1f the product is to be held until rot be- gins, It was this issue which has enabled the railroads of the country, with scarcely an exception, to largely increase their debts during the past three years, until TUR INTEKEST ACCOUNTS have assumed such proportions that they are now en- gaged in a strife to secure to each all the business of their respective sections, so ruinous that its continu- ance has but one end for all—bankruptcy—for the strongest as well as the weakest. These extraordinary fow rates -for transportation have undoubtedly stimu- lated some extra immediate shipments, but as they do not increase the ability of consumers, what is now sent forward in advance of wants simply reduces the quantity to be transported later, whether the rates bo ‘bagh or low. THE STOCK MARKET, Stocks during the week have been dull, and, not- ‘Withstanding the efforts of cliques to establish higher prices, closed generally lower than they did last Satur- day. There is no evidence that Many shares have passed out of tho hands of the large speculators or that the outside community have yet begun to participate im the faith that higher prices aro to be marked in the autumn, The principal cards played were Lake Shore and Western Union, and toward the end of the week Michigan Central, which suffered a sharp decline, owing to a decrease in the earnings. The granger shares were sparingly dealt in and generally ruled steady. Rock Island 1s firm, New York Central quiet and steady, and Pacific Mail, whenever disturbed, in- clined downward. Erie stiffened a trifle on the favor- ablo report from the meeting of stock and bond hold- ers in London; but the fire seems to have gone out of the old favorite, and it slumbers among its own ashes. Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph was also firmer. The 1 stocks received a fair share of attention and have Auctuated rather widely. The sales, scller 60 days, indicate that there are a few parties who believe in 4 Btill lower prices, Investment shares were quiet And Grm, although one would suppose, from the plethora of capital, that they would receive a good deal of atten ston. : THR TRANSACTIONS OF THE WEEK.

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS, The total imports of merchandise at the port since January 1, this year, were $164,706,833, against $14,098,555 for the corresponding period mm 1875 and $230,4U5,497 in 1874. Tne total exports of produce were $137,058,327, against $12,955,308 in 1875 and $158,635,210 in 1874, The total exports of specie were $63,925,336, against $57,122,832 iu 1875 and $32,142,508 in 1874, The foreign commerce of the port for the week was as foliows Jeneral merchandise imports, including dry goods, $5,371,584; produce exports, $7,170,896, and specie exports, $2,675,878. THE GOLD MARKET, Speculation in this department has been exceedingly uninteresting, and but for habit the market would probably be deserted by half ot the young gentlemen who alternately howl their e:ghths and sing Sankey songs around the railing, The prices show a sharp decline since last week, and the uncovered short in- terest is still believed to be very large. Thus far the Servian war has not been the godsend to the bulls that was expected, and the shipments of the week appear to have talien still-born, ‘The following was the rango of prices:— Opening. gee Lowest.

Higher prices are anticipated as tho season advances, and people begin to recognize the tact that the time has paaged when money can be quickly turned, as formerly, by dealing in the fancy securities of the Stock Board. RAILROAD BONDS of an undoubted character divide the honors of the pub- | jie with governments, and during the week have been strong, if not active. ‘This 1s true of some of the St. Paul, the Northwestern and Paetfic issues. SOUTHERN STATE BONDS were without new featares, ‘he principal dealings were in Tennessees, Missouris and Louisiana consols. The latter, however, show a decline, notwithstanding the payment of interest and the prospect of an abun- dantcrop. The unsettled political condition in several of the cotton States, incident to the election, may not be without its effect upon their securities; but im time they promise a recovery to something like their former strength. District of Columbia 3,65’s were also favorites, selling up to 73 and down to 7174. MINING INTELLIGENCE. The news from San Francisco during the latter part of the week indicated the existence of a feverish mar- ket; but, thus far, a panic has been escaped, although prices have suffered a sharp decline, The statistics of silver mining show that tho total product of the world in the year 1873 was $85,250,000, apportioned as follows: United States...... Central and South America, England and its colonies, France and Spain, Mexico. . Canada... Germany. Other countries. Total .......4 ‘The total production Of Wileer from-ahe discovery of tho New World by Columbus to the year 1873 is $715,000,C00. ‘The receipts of treasure from the mines and mining districts, through Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express, for the quarter ending June 20, aggregute $17,600,000, against $15,788,000 tor the previous quarter. There has been a marked falling off in the deliveries from the Consolidated Virginia mine during the past sixty days, but the outturn from the California mine has more than made good the deficiency trom that quarter, and the result for the baif yearis the largest in the history of the country. For the quarter ending June 0, 1875, the receipts were $12,131,800, against $10,448,700 for the previous quarter, making a total of $22,580,500 for the half year ending June 30, 1875, against $23,337,300 for the same time this year, as fol, lows :— Gold Bars, = ver od Februury.

COLORADO MINES AND MILLS, For the week ending July 7 the Judd & Crosby works, in Clear Creek county, turned out silver bars of the coin value of $6,571. Several tons of ore from the Atlantic mine yielded silver at the rate of 310 to 1,000 ounces to the ton and a large quantity of lead. | fas eovtath st the Pelledh'ank Dives ciined have Weds Atruce by which work 1s resumed, About 140 men are employed in the two mines, and the ores continue | to be extremely rich and remunerative. The Boston Company at St Jobn has a stock of 2,000 tons ot ore’ on band ready for milling. At the Hall Valley Smelt- ing works, Park county, improvements have been in- troduced by which the bullion produced from a given quality of ore is very lurgely increased. New and valuabio discoveries are reported almost daily in the Rabbit Ear Range, Middle Park, as well as in the older and better known portions of the Territory. MEMORANDA, The dividends and interest payments in New York amount to $48,385,918. Of this amount $26,996,441 is on account of interest on the public debt, $2, interest on State debts, $15,290,560 for dividends on railroad stock and interest on mortgages, $2,197,375 by the New York city banks and $1,436,096 by miscella, neous corporations, Add to this the amount payable at Boston on city bonds, manufacturing companies aud miscellaneous corporations, and there is a total of some $50,000,000, representing about the aggregate amount of money to be disbursed during July on ac- count of dividends and interest, Business at London, a8 far as tts magnitude is indi- cated by bank transactions, contiuues about 13 per cent less than last year, The London clearing for the first twenty-six Weeks of the past four years compare with those at New York thus:— Siz Months, London.

The funded debt of Cleveland appears to. be $8,086,900, that of Portland $6,462,800, that of Rochester $5,579,000 and that of Albany $3,683,000, Buffalo 1s" sued $125,000 in certificates in May, making its debt 27,264,201. Toledo comes forward with a debt of $3,015,561. Norfolk, Va., boasts a debt of $2,150,014, and Nashville a debt of $1,737,282. Of the other | cities whose debts were given by us iu January only two, Boston and New Orleans, show any reductiou. Making (hese corrections in tho table then given we flod thal according to the latest returns forty-one cities owe $585,969,505, Ad ting the official statements of the debts of othe: municipalities in Massachusetts January 1, and in Onto September 30, we have an ag- | gregate of $625,395,060 in forty-one cities and the other munictpalitics of the two States. According to the census of 1870 all the municipalities of those States and of the counties in which the other cities are located owed $223,887,398, or, adding the reported county debts of Philadelphia and San Francisco, $279,054,911, The increase in these municipalities, therefore, has been 125 per cent. There remain muni- cipalities which owed in 1870, according to the census, $104,357,122, If the rate of increase in these other lities has been the same the total municipal debt of tho United States is about $85,000,000, As nearly all these statements are of date six months ago or more, it is probable that the debts of municipalities alone on the centennial anniversary of Independence Day were about $990,000, 000, DOMESTIC MARKETS.

Bui this is alla sham, | fhe sachems of the Tammany Society really hold the General Committee in their grasp. They can, atany time, by a majority vote, declare a general committee irregular and order a pewelecuion, Should John Kelly to-morrow fiud that a majority of the preseni General Commitice is against him, and he beids control of seven sachems oat ot thirteen, a new election might bo or dered and the general body again | packed with adherents of his. A Kelly opposition ticket might Le run in each of the districts and receive A largo majority of the votes. But the sachems have the power of deciding the question as to whom will be | adwitted, and thus Mr. Kelly, or any other umbitious leader, tight block the wishes of the people expressed At the ballot box. ‘11g is the adroit game which under- lies the orgauization"ot ciety, ciling loudly for tus immediate disvandment, ‘The young democracy, under the leadersinp of O' Bricn, Fox und others, foun out the cilect of this power in | They were locked ms.

A CONCLUSION. Taking thie estimate of the Sachems’ "position, it would appear that Governor Tiden can procure a jority Whenever he thinks it feasible to reorganize Yaunmany Halland send Mr. Keliy’s phalanx out in the cold.
