other gold entries appear, one that Mr. Van Dyck has received
3 millions of coin, and has issued gold notes therefor; and
the other, that he has paid out 3 millions of coin interest
during the month. Both these statements together probably
mean that the gold interest which was disbursed last month
was nearly all paid in gold notes, and very little of it in
actual coin. As to how many New York gold notes are out¬
standing the report is silent, although the gold notes are
really a deposit certificate showing that so much of the gold
in the Treasury belongs to the holders.

ERIE RAILROAD
THE
TROUBLES.
Last evening some excitement was produced in Wall street
bsrely ade¬
quate, consisting as it does of some 12 millions of greenbacks and 40 by the rumor that the Senate at Albany had passed a
millions of certificates and compound notes.
If the Treasury bad legalizing the secret issue of 100,000 shares of stock by
announced its intention to take away any part of this precious basis of
Erie Railroad Company. As there is little doubt that
lawful reserve the banks might have put themselves in readiness for it
beforehand. Not hav ng so prepared, and the Treasury drain being for stock will be eventually legalized, in some way or other, and
at this active
season.
For these wants their
reserve
is
greenbacks, there is no wonder that some of the Three per cent. Cerificates have been passed into the Treasury for redemption.
But for the
belief that the monetary spasm is transitory, and will be relieved very
soon, the banks would have been
compelled to call on the Treasury for
greenbacks, which they have a right to claim in exchange for the 20
millions they hold of Three per cent. Certificates.
To meet such a
call the law authorizes an extra issue of 60 millions:of greenbacks. And
should these be issued the inflationists will have
gained one of the
points which they are reported to have in view.
We have purposely refrained in this article from canvas¬
sing certain grave questions which have arisen out of the
Treasury dealings in gold and securities. These questions
will come up more opportunely hereafter. The discussion
now is not as to
specific acts of the Treasury, nor as to its
general policy, but as to the method of reporting its doings
to the people.
For the present we will simply gather
together in three propositions the chief points on which the
public anxiety turns.
First, the most candid publicity is demanded, and should
be enforced, in reference to all the transactions of the Treas¬
ury.
This was supposed to be secured by requiring a daily
and weekly statement of the receipts, the disbursements and
the cash balances, with a complete balance sheet at the end
of each month.
All these are published in the daily papers.
The object of such daily, weekly and monthly publication
is to prevent any veil of secresy from interposing between
the eyes of the people and the use which their officers are
making of the public money and the public credit.
Secondly, this object is not accomplished by the ^resent
method of making out the accounts.
The daily statement,
for example, tells us that the balance of cash in the Treas¬
ury ranged last month both above and below 100 mil.
Fions. But it does not say, what is well known to be the
fact, that this balance is not all cash. Part of it is gold,
part bank notes, part greenbacks and part securities paid but
not yet cancelled, including Seven-Thirties and gold notes.
The monthly statement again puts together gold receipts
and currency receipts, telling us that the aggregate for March
was some
seventy millions, of which no less than $22,048,484

bill

In this miscellaneous
group of receipts we presume are included the premium on
the gold sales for the month.
If so, the fact is not stated,
but is open to doubt and conjecture, so that the people who
purchased by Mr, Vanderbilt and his
friends, there does not seem much room for so great a scare
on such
ground as this.
With various success, however, this greet railroad fight
is still destined to go on in the three arenas of the Stock
Exchange, the courts of law, and the Legislature. The chief
events in the contest on which the public mind has fastened
during the past week are two: first, the defeat at Albany of
the bill of indemnity for the irregular acts of the directors
in issuing, clandestinely, large amounts of stock, and author¬
izing similar issues in the future; and, secondly, the report
of the Senate Committee of investigation into the alleged

stating that the bill was so flagrant, so unjust and so mischie¬

its five members have united in a majority report which cor

press the opinion, in a minority report, that the Directors
have not wilfully violated the law.
The majority report is signed by James F. Pierce, John
J. Bradley and A. C, Mattoon. It sets forth the following
statements: first, that the evidence given before the Com¬
mittee shows that Daniel Drew obtained the 100,000 shares
of stock in dispute for purposes of private speculation, and
not for “ the interests of those he was bound to respect.”

London, Saturday. March 21, 1S68.
,
Although it is looked upon as a fact
admitted that the favorable movement
that trade is improving, it is
which is taking place is very
gradual in its character, and that, as yet, the increase in the volume o^
our mercantile transactions is not sufficiently extensive to produce any
ot animation. From all parts of the country, however,
improving business, and, under the Ncircumstances, such a
change must be looked upon as satisfactory. We have, for so long a
period, been accustomed to dull and disturbed trade that a revival*
however limited, is a feature of great imp: rtance, while should it prove
the basis of renewed prosperity in commercial affairs, it marks probably,
the commencement of another epoch in our Commercial history. But
although there are indications of improvement, it is not so clear that
business is to improve with any degree of rapidity. The crisis cf 1866
is not yet forgotten, and, consequently, the losses incurred in that year
are still fresh in the public mind.
Though confidence has not yet re¬
turned, bankers are cautious in the advances that they make, and in
the bills they discount; so that merchants are compelled to operate
with caution, lest they might experience difficulty in obtaining the bank¬
ing facilities they would with increased business require. The caution
shown by capitalists in discounting bills, or in making advances, is
clearly one cause of the abundance cf unemployed money, and of the
extreme ease which prevails in the rates of discount.
Capitalists in
times like the present seek for those descriptions of paper which are
acknowledged to be “ prime,” and hence the holders of such qualities
are pretty certain to obtain discount accommodation on their ovn terms.
Your readers are well aware that during the closing months of las^
year our market became so depressed that money was offered on firstclass bills at 1, 1 1-16 and 1^ per cent., while loans for short periods, on
Government security, were obtainable at f per cent. Such quotations
would indicate that money had arrived, as it were, at the nadir of de¬
pression, because it was quite impossible for it to fall lower. From
that extreme point theie has, however, been a slight recovery, and, at
the present time, money cannot, as a rule, be obtained on bills below 2
per cent. It would be a favorable circumstance if a further rise in the
quotations were established.
A falling off in the extent of our trade, a heavy decline in the prices
of materials acd manufacturers, a reduced value as regards many secu.
rities, and a loss of credit have been the chief causes of our increased
supplies of money, and of the low point to which the rates of discount
have declined. The Board of Trade returns for last year show that our
imports of gold and silver in 1865, 1866 and 1867 exceeded our exports
by about £25,000,000. Although those figures are published by the
authority of Parliament, no one acquainted with bullion matters pre.
tends to consider that they are even near the mark. If those figures
were correct, our supplies of idle money would indeed be large, and a
very largely increased trade would be rendered necessary in order to
absorb our sui plus stock. But it is well known (I write on the author,
ity of the bullion merchants and bullion exporters of this city) that our
appearances
we
adjust its rates of discount to those of the open mar¬
regulate them
according to the actual supply of and demand for money. As soon as
the temporary causes now in operation are removed, it may be found
perhaps that our supplies are fully equal to the requirements of bor¬
rowers, and that the nature of the supply and demand will not justify
a higher rate cf discount than two per cent.
The position of the mar¬
ket therefore can be more accurately ascertained when the quarter has

weaker silver market the rate of discount at
Hamburg is rather lower, and money is now obtainable in that city at
If per cent. Money is in abundant supply at St. Petersburg, and in
the open market the best descriptions of paper are discounted at 6£
per cent. In other parts of the Continent the variations in the rates
of discount during the week have been unimportant. Should any fur
ther improvement take place in the rates of discount here, it is probable
that the demand for sterling bills on French account would increase*
With the abundance of money at Paris, and also in this country, any
rapid advance in the rates of discount can scarcely be expected. The
supply of bullion held by the Bank of France amounts to £46,424,4*0,'
while discounts are at £16,612,830/ The following table shows the
rates of discount at the leading Continental cities compared with last

During the week the rates of foreign exchange have not varied to any
important extent. The Italian exchanges continue to move in favor of
Italy.
In the silver market a much quieter feeling has prevailed.
Owing
to an accident to the Persian Gulf cable, very few telegrams have been
received from Bombay. The last telegram is to the 12th of March,
and as no mention is made respecting the rate of exchange, it is inferred
that no alteration has taken place. No business of importance has been
transacted in silver for the East. Bar silver wa3 sold yesterday at 60s.

Telegrams have been received from China quoting the rate of exchange
at Shanghai at 5s. 9£d ; and at Hong Kong at 4s. 2d.
An impression
prevails that considerable supplies of dollars will be exported from that
country.
As gold is only one tenth per cent, dearer in Paris than in London,
and lb money is now rather dearer in London than at Paris, the demand
for gold for export has fallen off. The demand is only about sufficient
to absorb the small supplies expected from abroad.
In the various stock exchange markets, a very moderate amount of
business has been transacted, but, on the whole, prices have ruled

The cotton market is buoyant and advancing, and prices so irregular

The export

for this purpose, and 14,000 bales for speculation, leaving about 100,000
bales for local consumption. The heavy sales have materially reduced
the stock on hand of all descriptions, the best estimates give the stock

prime dry Buenos Ayres. Leather and skins have been
doing rather better in some grades, but are quiet.
In Naval Stores, we have noticed more firmness in Spirits
Turpentine, but the close is firm at 67c. Rosins have been
quite active—some 15,000 bbls. changing hands at $-'3.25@
$3.38 for common to good strained; but the close is dull.
Other Naval Stores remain quiet. In Oils, crude whale sold
pretty freely early in the week, but closes quiet; and Linseed
Oil has latterly been more active. Fish are in better supply,

11c. in bulk, and 16c. in barrels; refined, 26c. for S. W., in
bond. Building materials are not so firm, and bricks have
declined to $8@10 for common per M.
Wool is quiet, and, except for pulled, prices are rather weak.
Freights have not been active; but, with limited room on
the berth and increasing offerings, rates have slightly
improved—the Liverpool steamers getting £d. for cotton and
7d. for grain.
A few grain charters to Cork for orders have
been done at 6s. 3d.@6s. 4^d.; very little going to the Con¬

good business in Seed Leaf.
Kentucky Leaf is arriving rather more freely, but enough
has not yet come forward to weaken the very full prices here¬
tofore ruling.
Sales for the week 2,500 hhds. at 7@15c for
common to good old, and 8@18e for about the same grades
of new, part of the latter for export.
Seed Leaf of the better grades has been much wanted, and
the sales embrace 160 cases Medium Connecticut wrappers
in three lots at 22£@31c; 50 cases State wrappers l^c; 350
cases Ohio, a running lot, at 8c; 150 cases State on private
terms.
Spanish tobacco has been in good demand, especially good
fillers, and the sales are 300 bales on private terms.
Manufactured tobacco has relapsed into quietness.
The late
demand was for low grades, and these not coming forward
freely, there is no stock upon which to continue speculation.

the operations of millers are restricted to special brands.
The stock in this market is now considerably reduced ; but,
with a limited demand and a very close money market, there
is little to support the high prices now current, except the
anticipation of a large demand from the Continent.
Wheat was in large demand for export and speculation on
Tuesday last, prime No. 1 Spring selling at 82.5G in store, but
the market has since been dull and drooping. There have
been increased supplies by rail, and freights have been scarce
at advanced rates.
Shippers have consequently retired ; but
holders have not given way readily in prices. The receipts at
the Western markets have latterly not been so great as last year?
when there was a great deficiency.
The stocks at all Eastern
points are being rapidly reduced. The Erie Canal is to be
opened in the Eastern division on the 20th April, and for the
