single first-class

These are plain indications of a wholesome commercial senti¬

with any congruity, be regarded as the forerunner of
panic.
A fair survey of the condition of the
country appears to
us
to warrant the expectation of a;
steady, prosperous
business in 1870. The abundant crops of this year should
certainly lay the basis of an improved trade. Our grain crops
have been such as to reduce the prices of flour to about the
figures of 1860. The wool crop has been so abundant as to
reduce the value of that staple to about ante-war prices. The
production of coal is so ample that, in spite of artificial raanipulalion of the retail market, the late high prices can be no
longer maintained ; while the decline in gold naturally contri¬
butes to a generally lower scale of prices. We thus have a
condition of affairs calculated to lower, by a natural process,
the general costs of living; which supplies one of the chief
pre-requisites to a reduction in the scale of wages, the high

GOLD BELOW 120.
It is not

difficult to understand how the steady decline in

excited more interest
usually felt in the fluctuations of the premium. In
the first place, the change involves an appreciation in the
gold value of the currency from 74 cents on the dollar to 831
cents, which calls for a very important modification of prices
generally; and,in the next place, it brings us much nearer to
that stage of decline at which public opinion would materially
incline toward preparations for a return to the specie basis.
It is, therefore, most important to appreciate correctly the
causes of this decline and the probabilities as to its per¬
manence.

past, we have seen a decline in the

public expenditures and an increase of the revenues. This
surplus of income has been devoted to the purchase of the
Government obligations; so that, within the nine months end"
ing with the present year, $90,000,000 of six per ceut bonds
have been taken into the Treasury. In making these pur¬
chases, a large amount of Government gold has been placed
upon the market; and yet so ample has been the coin revenue
that the sales have not reduced the surplus in the Treasury
below the average amount. This great fiscal achievement
accomplished without any special effort and from revenues
which the country has yielded without complaint, is such a
conclusive evidence of the ability and the disposition of the
Government to liquidate its debt that it has necessarily

sustaining the premium has been the fact that
exports of produce and specie combined have been from
$60,000,000 to $100,000,000 below our imports and interest
obligations to Europe; exposing us to an exhaustive drain of
gold, in the contingency of Europe being unwilling to accept
a settlement of the balance in securities.
The continuance of
the foreign demand for bonds having been always felt to be
an uncertain contingency, and the extent of those remittances
for any given period having been difficult of estimate, the
seasons of the export of specie have always been attended with
speculation for an advance in the premium. The improve¬
ment in the public credit, however, diminishes the liability to
a sudden cessation of the
foreign demand for securities and
lessens the danger of their sudden return home ; and, so far>
mitigates the sensitiveness connected with the foreign ex¬
changes. But beyond this, we have, within the last half year,
been able to accomplish a much more conservative adjustment
between the imports and the exports.
The best possible
indication of the improving condition of home industry has
been afforded by the abundance of the crops having given us
a large increase in the exportable surplus of produce.
As an
indication of the increase in the exports of Western and
Northern produce, we present the following statement of the
shipments from New York from June 22 to December 14,
compared with the same period of last year:

Considering that

these figures. While there has been this large increase in the

no faith in the wholesome tendency
of Secretary BoutwelPs policy, but, on the contrary, regarded
it as affording an occasion for speculation in favor of a higher
premium. The result of their operations was exposed in the
panic of September 24; since which period, speculation
having been too feeble to affect the market in either direction,
the premium has been free to take its natural course ; during
this interim, however, the effects which had been previously
postponed by artificial operations have founds expression, as
well as those resulting from a continuance of the Treasury
policy. Here, then, we have one prominent cause of the
decline in the premium.
The improvement in the public credit has naturally
augmented the demand tor our securities abroad ; and
within the present month, this demand has been further’

President’s message and the report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and especially the allusions in those documents to
the refunding of the debt at a lower rate of interest—recom.
mendations which, perhaps, have commanded even more confidence abroad than at home. The export of securities from
these causes may not have been so large as to augment the
shipments beyond the average of former years; but as the
bonds have gone out at higher prices they have made a very
large amount of exchange. Nor is it to be overlooked that
the extension of railroad enterprises in the South and West
has been attended with the exportation of an important

The cotton exports

against 389,000 bales for the corresponding period of last
year; which argues a large increase in the exports at the

From this survey it

will be seen that the foreign move¬

have combined to lessen the occasion for the shipment of
specie; which circumstance accounts for the unusual lightness

average for the three last years. It is thus apparent that, this
year, we have retained at home an unusually large proportion
of our annual product of the precious metals.
The evidence
of this accumulation is apparent in the fact that, while a
considerable amount of coin has been distributed at the South,
and while California has sent East less of its product than
usual, yet the private coin on deposit in the Treasury was
$36,862,000 on December 1, against $23,200,000 at the same
period of last year and $18,400,000 in 1867, while the specie
in the Associated Banks on December 18 was $30,068,000,
against $18,643,000 on December 19,1868. The pressure

peculiarly unfavorable for railroad work. Tt# spring was backward,
and the greater portion of the summer and faTtjnonths marked with
heavy rains. Yet, notwithstanding all the difficulties that con¬

St Paul and Pacific (Main Line), to Chippewa River, 90 miles
west of Crow River; total, 171 miles from St. Paul.
The grading
will be continued b yond Chippewa River until the weather com¬

As soon as practicable the work will be resumed next spring, and
the road completed to its terminus at the western boundary ot the
State (some 75 miles) early in the seasou.
Lake Superior and Mississippi Road.—47 miles have been com¬
pleted and put in running order during the year, making a total of

market has worked

tie banks find it easy to employ

Jan.

easily through¬
week, the general rates on call loans having been 6@7 per
cent. Th i banks appear to have sent little
currency to the country,
and have received some moderate amounts from various
points ,*
while the Government having bought $2,000,000 bonds and sold
only $1,000,000 gold, the banks have gained about $1,000,000
currency from these operations.
In view of this course of the
market, the bank statement, made up to-day, is hardly what might
have been expected. The legal tenders show a decrease of $318,000
and the deposits a reduction of $3,907,000.
Nearly half of the
latter item may be accounted foi from a reduction of $1,738,000
in the loans ; and the withd awal of $1,648,000 specie has also in
part contributed to the falling off in deposits. But as the gold
sales of the Treasury aad its payments of over-due interest have
nearly equalled its recaipts from customs, there is some mystery
about this heavy reduction in the
speciejine. The statement shows
a reduction of about
$1,010,000 in the excess over legal reserve.
The following are the totals ot the statement and the
changes as
compared with last week :

The Finances of California.—The annual report of the
State Comptroller of California shows that the receipts of the fiscal

...

....

ending June 30, 1869, were $2,417,699. The expenditures
during the same period were $3,180,725. The apparent excess of
expenditures over receipts was occasioned by large amounts trans¬
ferred to counties from the Swamp Land Fund, under an act of the
Legislature. The Comptroller thinks a tax of $1 on each $100 ot
assessed value will be ample for all State purposes during the next
two fiscal years.
The State debt on the 1st of November, 1869,
stood as follows:
Funded and bearing interest, $4,068,000; out¬
standing warrants on the Capitol Fund, $270,879 98; warrants on
Military Fund, $3,571 10; total debt, $4,342,451 03. Compared
with the figures of two years ago, this statement shows the grati¬
fying reduction of $1,078,500.

this decline there are more sellers than buyers, and the close

COTTON.
Fbiday, P. M., December 24, 1869.

By special telegrams received by us to-night from each of the
in possession of the returns showing th
receipts, exports, &c., of cotton lor the week ending this evening,
December 24.
From the figures thus obtained it appears that the
total receipts for the seven days have reached 114,031 bales (against
110,071 bales last week, 100,348 bales the previous week, and 103,054
bales three weeks since), making the aggregate since September
1,1869, up to this date, 1,224,981 bales, against 961,463 bales for the
same period in 1868, being an increase this season over last season
of 263,518 bales.

The market for Cotton has been inactive the past week, and
doses at

The dull accounts from Liverpool on Saturday last deprived the
tba
market of the buoyancy which prevailed on the previous day. The
weather also was very unfavorable, and the increased receipts at
the ports checked speculation, while the fact that we were higher
than Liverpool shut out shippers.
Still no quotable decline could
be noticed. Monday was very much as Saturday, only the foreign

On Tuesday, with

Middling Uplands being quoted on the spot at 25^c.,
Middling Uplands for March delivery at 25£c. On
Wednesday, however, the anticipated further decline in gold did
not occur ; on the contrary, there was a slight reaction and large
buying of the precious metal; spinners, therefore, in view of the
advance and better demand for goods, came forward and were
liberal buyers, and at 25£c. for Middling Uplands the market
made a strong stand, though shippers and speculators did very
little.
Yesterday, the market ruled very strong, many holders
refusing to accept the quotations of Wednesday, and to-day, with
estimates of receipts at the ports some two or three thousand bales
less than yesterday, and a continued strong spinning demand,
there is a recovery in the tone of the market. It will be seen that
the market is entirely in the handB of spinners, whose operations
are greatly increased, and who find this the cheapest market to buy
in. For Cotton for future delivery, the recovery of tone since
Tuesday has not been so marked as for Cotton on the spot. In the
latter case it is due wholly to relative supply and demand, while
speculative confidence in the future is unsettled, and the prices
paid quite irregular. Sales of this description reach a total of
14,450 bales (all low middling, or on the basis of low middling,
except as hereinafter stated), of which 2,000 bales were for Decem¬
ber, 400 at 24fc., 300 at 24fc., 400 at 24fc., 100 at 25c., and 800
on private terms ;
2,350 bales for January, 1,350 at 24f, 100 at
24jf, 100 at 24^ 100 at 24f, and 600 on private terms; 2,500 bales for
February, 700 at 25, 600 at 25L 300 at 24|, 300 at 24£, 200 at 25$, and
200 on private terms ; 200 bales middling for February at 26£;
3,400 bales for March, 400 at 25c, 400 at 25£, 1,550 at 25L 250 at
254, 200 at 25f, and 600 on private terms; 3,200 for April, 650 at
25J, 600 at 25|, 850 at 25f, 300 at 254, and 800 on private terms;
800 bales for May, 100 at 26, 300 at 25f, and 400 on private terms;
200 bales for June on private terms.
The total sales for imme¬
diate delivery this week foot up 9,984 bales (including 1,064 bales
to arrive), of which 5,526 bales were taken by spinners, 1,616
bales on speculation, 2,782 bales for export, and the following are

and Tennessee show a decrease from the figures of last week,
so that the total varies but slightly from the figures then given.
On the part of some it is claimed that the receipts have now
reached the maximum, and that after the first of January a steady
decline will be shown in the weekly total. This opinion, however,
would seem to be based rather upon the fact that the usual period
for the largest receipts has been reached, than upon any definite
facts as to the amount of the crop yet to come forward. We would
simply say, in regard to this, that whether the opinion proves to be *
true or not, we do not think that the cotton movement in previous
years can be taken as a certain indication that the same course
will be followed this year.
The several influences affecting
the trade are so different each season, that the old rules which
could be applied to the cotton crop movement in antebellum times
with a very great degree of certainty, are now of little use, and
each year must be considered de novo in regard to the circum¬

less animation in the market and more ease in prices, owing to the

FRUITS.

In foreign dried there has been but little fluctuation in prices,
and our list of quotations stands unchanged.
In Turkish Prunes
there has been some activity awakened in good part upon specula¬

also been more active, but though firm, no quotable advance has
been made in prices. Brazil Nuts are a shade easier and quiet.

Smyrna'Figs have been sold largely at auction, at 12f@14fc. for

The market continues to show the tone of firmness

noticed

and agents have apparently found no diffi*.
culty in maintaining the advance made by them on leading
cotton goods ; indeed, rates are quite firm at the higher prices,
and a further rise would be considered more probable than a
decline from current quotations. This strong tone imparted
to the market at the close of the season, when business is
necessarily dull, has been a very good feature, and has un¬
doubtedly done much to encourage jobbers and manufac*
turers, and will start them with good spirit upon the new

There is
tail stores,

brisk business doing for the holidays in our re¬
though the volume of transactions will probably
not equal that of some previous years.
The low premium on
gold can hardly be felt as yet to its full extent in the retail
trade, as the goods now Bold, in these stores were imported
when the premium was much higher, and as the fall in gold
is regarded by many as a mere temporary fluctuation, caused
by an excess in the supply, there is no disposition to sell
below the cost of importation until the course of the gold
premium is further seen.
