FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Geview of the Events of the Week—A Better Feeling in Stock Speculations. THE GOLD AND MONEY MARKETS. MINING INTELLIGENCE, Wau Street, } Suxpay, March 25, 1877.! It would be unreasonable to suppose that all the clouds which lowered over the Stock Exchange have ‘Deen in the “deep bosom of the ocean buried,’ or that the sun of prosperity, because if has shed « few gleams of light, bas commenced to shine on forever and a day, Tho knowledge, however, that the past week hag shown some signs of cleuring weather sufficiently distinct to permit a hopeful augury of the future is an encouragement to the long suffering bull party which they may or may not turn to good account. Appar- ently an opportunity offers, and we wait with some Interest ‘to see, whether hke one who ‘grasps the skirts of happy chance,” they will be enorgetic enough to improve the occasion. The first days ol the week were subjected to a fitof the blues, The Ides of March had been a% unpropitious to holders of stocks as they had been to tho | imperial Cwsar, and depression marked all classes of securities, Iutormation carefully telegraphed from London to the effect that American securities were unsalable ex- cept ata discount, and thata feeling of apprehension amounting almost to apante existed as to the value of our railway stogks and bonds, produced a corre. sponding tremor Mf tho breasts of home investors and Dy implication affected unfavorably the whole of tho market. To this was added a loar of the results of the great coal sale by the Pennsylvania company, the same being anticipated as certuin to be unfavorablo both to the price of the product and to the market value of the coal carriers, Fortunately the prices ob- tajned were so much better than bad been expected that the sale turned ont more of a success than a failure, and wus £0 construed by operators, who became lively buyers of shares at ad- vaneimg prices, Although quotations fell off sharpiy a day or two afterward, when it was learned that the meeting of the anthracite presidents had come to naught, thoy almost immedi- ately rallied to even higher figures than before through sympathy with the rajiway market, which was begin. ning to develop signs of unusual strength, and under Age belief thatat the adjourned meeting to be held hext Thursday somo plan would be adopted favorable to all the coal interests, The railways received their impetus from equally legitimate causes, It was re- ported that the new Western ulliance had settled the threatened war with Burlingtoa and Quincy by burying the hatchet, that Erie and New York Céntrai bad ad- justed their difficulties as to !ocal treights, and that the meeting of trunk line presidents in respect to New England traffic was an earnest that the railway compact was to be preserved in its integrity. Thus ina general way itcame about that things began to shape them. selves favorably, a situation quickly appreciated by bulls and bears alike, and quickly acted upon in the re way of free purchases either to close up shorts or for | Glover se an anticipated advance. The close of the market be- came thus in temper the very reverse of that predom: nate at the beginuing of tie week, and in final deal- ings showed streugth enough to warrant a belief im still better figures in the week to come.

Tie expenses are @stimated at forty por cont, su that the mine has pro- duced already this month (March) the amount nec sary tor a dividend of ue per ceut, which, it is stated, will be deciared on the 31st inst, A regular moathly dividend of from one to two per cont is promised, and, with energetic management, stiould be obtained. It is to be hoped. hewever, that the company will not sucri- fice the permanent prosperity of the mine to the desire to declare large monthly dividends, but push the exploration works, and iperease rather than diminish the amount of reserves in the mine and in the bank; in this manner we may hope to have the pleasure of recording on many future occasions our satisfaction that so valuable a property has been placed upon our new Board, With a regular dividend of 12 per cent a year the stock would probably command par in the market, while at present it is quoted at about 50 cents on the dollar, or, in other words, the present market value of the stuck 18 about equal to the estimated value of the ore in sight, ‘The reports of gentlemen from San Francisco who recently examined the 1,650 toot level of the Consql- idated Virginia Mine are very tavorable.

HOW THE WORE OF WINDING UP ROTTEN BANK- ING CORPORATIONS PROGRESSES—-FREE BANK- ING, FREE ROBRERY—RECEIVERSHIPS AND DIVIDENDS. If the enemies of *froe banking” bad desired it they could not have contrived # better plan of showing by practical results the soundness of thir theories than by pointing to the losses which an over-contlding pub- lic has sustained by the rotten banking concerns which have within the lust tew years suspended operations, Some of these corporations, such as the Abingdon Square and the Central Park banks, opened® their books upon a capital of nil, con- ducted business and kept’ up a largo staff of comfortably salaried officers at the expense of un- fortunate depositors, and when they could no longer continue shut up their establisuments, leaving nil for their assets and returning into their original obscurity with the coppers which bard worked laboring men and struggling tradespeople wero never to seo again. In the majority of cases the investments made by tho | officers of these dead speculations were of the most reckless kind, ‘be money received was tied up in “one-horse-town property,” and in bonds of *cities’’ in New Jersey, Long Island and eisewhere—out-of-the- way holes and corners, to find which it would require ‘a township map of the county wherein they are locaied, Some of these ‘‘tvurish- ing towns’? issued bonds ata reckless rate to guaran- toe certain railroads. Tho bank directors appear to have purchased this sort of waste paper with avidity, and thon when pay day came round the concern could not meet its liabilities, The towns in some instances repudiated their own contracts, suspension of the banks 60 involved svon followed, and depositors’ interests went to the wall, It frequently happened, too, that second, third, and, in some instances, iourth mort. | guges were the securities upon which the people's money was allowed to go abroad, Another haruship for creditors to put up wilh 15 the considerable cx- pense incurred by winding up the broken banks Ubrough tho agency of receivers, who get five per cent of all moneys passing through their bands. Oue might suppose that this high percentage would justity them in attending persoually to their duues, but they generally do not. The usual practice 18 tor the receiver to name some persun to act as his clerk, Atd as the clerk cannot do anything of importunce in the receiver's ubsence peoyle who ure uuiortuuate enough to huve dealings with the sus- pended corporation must enper look for him ail over the city or go without Leing woything the wiser about their business. TUK BANK OF NEW AMSTERDAM. Such are the conclusions arrived at after several days’ search among the ruips of banking establish wents which once heia u place 1n the confidence of thousanus ot New Yorkers. . One of the first establishments visited was tho former bank of New Amsterdam, No. 215 Bowery. Mr, Richard M. Bent, us receiver of this bank, took charge of the assets on the l4th of December, 1576, und on | Fevruary 1, 1877, he veciared a diviweud of fifty per cent 1u favour of the creditors, Up to the 2éd tuat, a traction over $232,000, all cash, had been paid over to uecpositors and others. boldieg claims against the concern, ‘The receiver belfeves Ubut anotuer dividend of twenty per cent may be declared iv September of the present year, and @ final one of say teu per cent abvut Coristmus, making altogether eighty per cent. This 18 probably the highest percent- age that any of the suspended baaks can pay. Among the assets the banking house aud lot are set down‘at a Valuation Of $128,933 46; vut tho receiver believes It will bring no more than $55,000, 1 as much, Tere ure also $25,000 in Lewiston voods, which appear to huve no present marketable value, up $511,702 U6 and the assets are $417,837 $3, being just $95,934 83 sort of what, I the tems could vo | turned into cash wt par, Would valance the books. THE TRADERS? BANK. Mr. Samuel B, Waite, who is receiver of this bank, was Visited by the writer und requested to give tue public, through the columns of the HkeRaLp, some in- sight ‘Into the condition of bis trust. He bad the taste, however, to be Very crusty on the occasion, and gruilly replied that he bud no information to give nor statement to make, THE THIRD AVENUE BANK, It appears from the statement of Mr. S, H. Hurd, the receiver of this “institution,” that in May, 1876, a diviuend of iifteen per ceut wus declared, Tue lavest stutement that could be ubtuined at the receiver's ol! doey not appear to be later thun Uctover, 1870. By it the public ure Informed that from various sources Mr. Hard bad received $408,016 11. Ybis amount, with Wwe exception of $63,997 84, was used to pay the Hliteen centdividend, and also special uepostis. ussets of the bank amounted to:—Lrustees’ bouds, $112,500; boods and mortgages, $108,810 apd Claims against tho city of Kiizabetn, $26,000, making a total remainder of $296,310 25, But che tabi ities are hot stated, although this inay be ascertaived by calcu- luting from the umount of the dividend paid us a | basis, All the trustees, with the fused to pay the amount of their respective bonds, and are now being sued on them. ‘Two of tho mortgages (second) in litigation amount to $04,000, “and ure of dyubtiul value.” A judginent for $57,671 23 was ob tained aguimst Ebzabeth city property, but it wos found that a devt of $650,000, on account of assess- monts and gruding, Was on record aginst tt, THE UPTOWN GEKMAN BANK. Mr, Ubl became receiver of this concern in Decem- ber, 1875, and the same month ne paid a dividend of twenty-live per cent; a second, at the sume rate of percentage, Was declared in April, 1876, wud it 18 ex- pected that @ third division of assets—tbis tine amounting to ubout ten per cont—will be orthcoming in September next, msking altogether u total divideud of sixty percent in favor of creditorss The receiver bas paid out more tian $500,000, Like the other cure porations the Uptown German Bank is engaged in law suits, upon the result of which must depend the | future declaration of dividends, KD STREET BANK, Mr. William 8. Payne, the r: ceiver of this bank, col- lected up to the first of last mouth $7Y3,52! the sui of $4,267 05, on special deposiis, Bet the beginning of Fevruary and the miudie of whe pres- ent month $28,000 was received, There has already been declared u dividend of fiity-five per cont, which 18 now being paid out upon cull, aud the chances aro that the amount seventy-five per cent. There are over $90,000 n° vested in town Lond Which have paid po inierest lor the last tive years, and it 18 questionable what they would bring if forced on the inurket, The assets are stated at $1,412,257 58, aud the lhwbilities at $1,280,688 02, & figure which certainly ought to pay creditors 100 cents ou the doli THK MUTUAL BUNEVIT BANK. The liquidation ot the affairs of this bank is in the hands of Mr. W. #. Aldrich. He took charge in December, 1876, Two dividends, each twenty-live per cent, were paid on the lstof Pevraary and the 16th of May, 1876, respectively. It is expected that another t will be ready next May 1, aud @ final distribution is to take place thereafter. These payments would bring up the total dividend seventy-five per cent, ‘The amount received by Mr. Alurich 18 $416,000, the greater part in stocks, bat | litue cash and coc-quarter in bonds and mort, ages.
