Although this cry of “ wolf” has become so common that it should be no longer heeded, there are a few timid people who give ear to it and are alarmed into a very' unreasonable caution; and, for the satisfaction of such, it may be well to inquire somewhat into this alleged danger. In the first place, that business is . in an the recent failures have been no more in number and have really been less in importance than usually occur at this period of the year—a season when a large amount of mer¬ cantile obligations always fall due, and a majority of the sus¬ pensions have been those of small firms, whose combined liabilities are scarcely equal to those of a single first-class house. And, in the next place, there is this peculiarity in the affairs of the advance in stccks than decline; and upon the question of specie payments there is a marked conversion of public opinion in favor of an early adoption cf the measure* These are plain indications of a wholesome commercial senti¬ ment, such as usually precedes public prosperity, and cannot,' 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of coal is so ample that, in spite of artificial raanipulalion of the retail market, the late high prices can be no longer maintained ; while the decline in gold naturally contri¬ butes to a generally lower scale of prices.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 an a . larger suspensions ; the occasion is traceable mainly to causes other than legitimate business losses. Most of the failures among the dry goods commission merchants have arisen from the firms assuming the responsibilities of rates of which are still the bane of our industrial progress. manufacturers, and taking the risks of unprofitable mill prop¬ These tendencies toward a natural decline in prices may not erties.

Much a sounder condition of industry and trade, and are evidence ha6 been said of the disaster which must decline in prices, yet it is a fact that as been steadily falling, for the last three from the of national gain in production over consumption, and of a although values have consequent recovery of stocks of products in the various accrue a and in the case markets.

The immense value of this one crop, far exceeding all precedent, may be reasonably expected to induce an unusually active business between the North and the South. in The West has been somewhat backward in its settlements with the East, owing partly to the low prices realized on its bespeak crops, and partly to the holding back of produce. There is, During the war, and for two years succeeding, we experienced however, still a large amount of grain in the hands of farmers, the evils of inflation in its worst forms.

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 a material improvement in the public credit; which, it affects the value of United States notes, implies a decline in the premium of gold. These operations of the so far causes our than is effected 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: principal gold from 135 to below 120 should have For several months 815 THE CHRONICLE.

While there has been this large increase in the value of our exports, there has been a gain in the imports of alone, of $29,528,000 for twenty-five weeks. Treasury were, for some time, prevented from having their the exports are entered in currency value, the premium by speculative obstructions 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’ stimulate! by the favorable reception in Europe of the 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 due effect upon There were those who had which have been extensively Germany and England ; and so far as these securities have been exported, they have tended to keep the foreign exchanges easy, to limit the oulflow of the precious metals, and consequently to depress the premium on gold, which always advances as coin is exported, and vice versa. The course of our foreign commerce, taken in connection amount of mortgage bonds, taken in with these movements in jn the premium. securities, has also favored a decline Ever since the close of the war, one of the merchandise, from June 26 to December 11, of only movement at this port. have been at other ports we have no means of ascertaining definitely. Usually, New York is a fair criterion $6,000,000. So much for the trade How it may of the movement for the whole country. The cotton exports largely exceeded those of last year, and have realized a handsome value in gold. From September 1 to December 10, the total shipments, from all ports, were 495,000 bales, against 389,000 bales for the corresponding period of last year; which argues a large increase in the exports at the have Southern ports. From this survey it will be seen that the foreign move¬ ment in bonds andrthe foreign commerce of the country have combined to lessen the occasion for the shipment of specie; which circumstance accounts for the unusual lightness of the exports of the precious metals during this year. From January 1 to December port amounted to only of specie from this $31,199,000, against $69,988,000 18 the export period of last year, and $59,627,000 upon an 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 Continental exchanges have recently become more favorable to this country, the result of which has been that the greater part, if not the whole, of our recent large importations will be retained here. About £660,000 ia gold has been received from Australia this week, of which £298,000 has already been sent into ihe Bank, The last Bank return is very fovo able. show The reserve of notes and coin and the stock of bullion both increase—the former of £554,454, and the latter of £289,279. satisfactory to notice that more money is wanted by the com¬ mercial classes, there being an increase of £227,187 in “other” secu¬ rities. The supply of money seeking employment, however, in very large, and is increasing^ and it is to the great abundance of money that the slight downward movement which has been apparent this week must be attributed. Between tbe present time and the close of the year there will be & considerable demand for mouey, but any advance in the rates of discount is out of the question.

Telegraphic communication with India is still very bad, and I have seen a later telegram published than one dated November a27. 11 is to be hoped, however, that in the course of next January there shal be a vast improvement ia this respect. A new cable has recently been laid down the Persian Gulf, but the line on which more dependence will be placed will be that via the Red Sea. The Falmouth, Gibraltar not and Malta, the Mediterranean Extension, and the British Indian Sub¬ Companies have undertaken this work, and some portions of the cable have already been sent out. It is now proposed, in addition to extending this system to Australia, to carry it to China, and a company has been started this week for that purpose. The company is to be called the China Submarine Telegraph Company, with a capital ol £526,000, which is to be raised in £10 shares. marine English market Reports—Per Cable* ’68. *69. closing quotations in the markets of London and Liver¬ pool for the past week, hare been reported by submarine telegraph at shown in the following summary: London Monty and Stock Market,—Consols have ruled quiet bu t steady, without change of quotations.

The year 1869 will be long -remembered as one 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¬ follows : 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¬ pels a suspension of work.

United States Bonds -—The bond market has been, upon the whole, active, but with irregularity in prices.

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 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.

COMMERCIAL The approach of the Christmas holidays, and the unsettled respecting the early future, have served to The of views state greatly restrict business the past week, and yet the cases in whicWany material decline can be quoted are rather exceptional than otherwise. Cotton*;at a decline early in the week closes active and firm. Breadstuffs are rather easier, but Wheat closes active and firm. Tobacco has been more active, especially Seed Leaf. Groceries have been fairly active, and Sugars close firm. ;, Hides have been active, being pressed on the . but scarcely so firm ; while leather, market, has sold freely at $c.@lc. de¬ with limited export buyers. Tallow cline. • ^Hops, have arrived freely, and demand close steady. Whiskey has favorod Fish higher. dull, an<J-closed lower. Naval Stores have been more active, and Rosins have brought rather more money, but Spirits of notwithstanding a good ^business, has not rallied. and Tar Turpentine, Oils are inactive and unsettled. Petroleum has been dull and drooping on the 3pot, but for future delivery sales have been liberal. In East India goods we notice sales of Linseed to the ex¬ tent of 30,000 bags, mainly Calcutta, at $2 20, gold. Of metals there is little of importance to note, exiept in Ingot Copper, of which the sales amount to three million pounds. r. ' Provisions reveal a marked decline in hog products, new mess Pork having fallen to $29, prime steam Lard 17£c, Cumberland Bacon 14Jc and pickled Hams 15£c. Even at this decline there are more sellers than buyers, and the close is weak. Tfie probability of a short hog crop has diminished, but the chief obstacle to supporting prices is the absence of English or Southern demand. Freights have been dull. The shipments for the week have . been very little besides Wheat, which rates haye been drooping. to Rosin and Petroleum, for Wheat was shipped to day Liverpool at 4d by sail, and 4£d@4£d by steamer ; pool are 3 16d@id uj sail, and 5-16d@fd by steam.

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 dull accounts from Liverpool on Saturday last deprived the tba market of the buoyancy which prevailed on the previous day.

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 the closing quotations: delivery RECEIPTS.

The receipts at New Orleans are larger, as was generally ex¬ pected, and had the receipts at other ports kept up to the figures of last Friday we should have had a further increase to report in It will be noticed, however, that Mobile the total amount. 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¬ Receipts.—The total Stock.

At the beginning of the week, prices fell off £c., and have eince further declined, closing £c lower than at the date of our last The proceedings of the government in its measures for the discovery of suspected frauds in the importation of sugars, are con¬ report. ducted with less zeal and more wisdom, and have ceased to be a serious complaint from the trade. Refined sugars have steadily lost strength, and close duil at the reduced prices, losing @^c. The stock of raw sugars is gradually decreasing in all kinds except bags, which is rather larger than that at this t ime last week.

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 in our last report, year. 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.
