proposition to offer to the public a six per cent, loan in which
to consolidate all
existing indebtedness of the Government.
In its present
shape the plan is made needlessly repulsive
and impracticable
by being coupljed with a curious project
for paying to
the States 20 millions a year from the National
Treasury as taxes. We refer our readers to Mr. McCulloclfs

cuss it further than to
treas¬
At present we need not dis¬
suggest, whether, if there be a need to
pay the States any commutation for their being forbidden to
-tax
the national
securities, the better way would not be to
proper amounts annually out of the revenue. It is
one of the least of the evils of this
scheme, that it would
open a new door for the admission of peculation and fraud
into the departments at
Washington. If Mr. McCulloch’s
new five-six-twenties could
be negotiated, at all he must
submit to unfavorable terms; and in
distributing the one
per cent, tax in proportion to the population he would im¬
pose an unjust burden on the citizens of the few States
where the bonds are
chiefly held; for he would compel
these persons to
pay a part of the taxes of other States
where the bond-holders are
relatively few.
The proper plan, no doubt, is to consolidate the debt into

30, nor more than 50 years, and should
be subject to the
existing sinking fund laws. The London
Times lately accounted for the
high rates of interest we are
paying on our debt by the statemenfcthat the vast aggregate
of it consisted of terminable
annuities, which would expire
in 20 or 40 years.
The 8 per cent, we pay on our long
bonds was represented as
being in part a repayment of a
yearly instalment of the principal. This extraordinary mis¬
take on the part of the
leading London journal may perhaps
contain a valuable
suggestion. At any rate it is worth our
while to consider whether a
part, at least, of our foreign debt
might not be converted into terminable annuities on a satis¬
factory basis. The present stagnation of the money market of
Europe, and the indisposition to invest in ordinary securi¬
ties, which is especially complained of in England, originates
chiefly with the class of persons to whom a terminable annu¬
ity would be attractive. We offer the suggestion not as
final, but as worthy of discussion and examination. We are

Seven-Thirty notes had recently been disposed of sat¬
isfactorily by the Department, and had proved to be the most popu¬

rely upon them (although on the part of Government they were in
many respects objectionable), and in order to insure speedy sub¬
scriptions, to place them within the reach of all who might be will¬
ing to invest in them. * * * * As evidence of the necessity
lhat existed for prompt action in the negotiation of thi3 loan, and
the straits to which the Treasury was reduced, it will be remem¬
bered by those who examined carefully the monthly statements of the
Departments, that although during the month of April, upward of
had been received from the sale of
7.30 notes, the unpaid requisitions, at its close, had increased to
$120,470,000, while the cash (coin and currency) in all the public
depositories amounted only to $16 835,800. If few men intrusted
with the management of the finances of a great nation were ever in
a position so embarrassing and trying as was that of the Secretary
of the United States Treasury iu the month of April and May, 1865,
none certainly were ever so happily and promptly relieved. *

Thus the condition
of the country and the Treasury determined the policy of the
Secretary, which has been to convert the interest-bearing notes,
temporary loaus, &c., in gold-bearing bonds, and to contract the
paper circulation by the redemption of United Sta4.es notes. For
the last two years this policy has been steadily, but carefully pur¬
sued, and the result upon the whole has been satisfactory to the
Secretary, and, as he believes, to a large majority of the people.
Since the first day of September, 1865, the temporary loans, the
certificates of indebtedness, and the five per cent, notes have all
been paid, (with the exception of small amounts of each not pre¬
sented for payment.) the compound interest notes have been reduced

that the five per cent, bon Is never were a

ent footing, as to the kind of
money in which they are to be paid,
from the bonds issued under acts containing no such,
provision.
There was nothing in the condition of the
country when these acts
were passed that required an unusual
provision, in order that the
loans authorized by them might be
successfully negotiated; on the
contrary, the national credit wa3 better then than at periods when
other loan bills were passed ; nor was there
any intimation by any
member of Congress, nor was it ever thought by the officers of the
Treasury Department, that the bonus authorized by them were of a
diffeivut character from those issued under other acts.
It is unrea¬
sonable to suppose that it was the intention of Congress that the
bonds authorized by the act of Februiry 25, 18 52, and June 3 ?,
1864, might be paid in legal tender notes, while those authorized by
the acts of March 3, 1863, and March 3, 1864, could be paid
only in

which are justly responsible for the debt, but whose early and complete

The Nation'* 1 auks are not exempt from the disasters which are
common to all
banking institutions and business corporations.
No sys¬
tem ot
banking, however perfect, can protect the sto khoiders or the
depositor- ir.*m su hlen mss; neither can the m<>st stringent legislate -t
nor the
greatest decree ot watchfulness and care on the part of this
office, prevent violations of law and neglect of the fundamental princip¬
les of gooil banking.
The failures of National Banks which have thus far occurred,
may in
every instance be directly traced to the dishonesty or incompetency of
bank »ificials, and the habitual violation of the
plames provisions ot the
law under whnh they were organized.
Iu son.e ca-es old State banks,
with capital impiii d by t>a l dents, have been
reorganiz ed as National
Banks, without sufficient scrutiny into their afftirs, and such failures
must he attributed to the old father tha
the new system.

Friday, Deo. 6, 1867, P. M.
The Monet Market.—The week
opened with rather
an easier
moderate
in loans.
Money has been in good supply to call borrowers, the rate ruling
generally at 7 per cent.
In discounting operations, however, there is no abatement of the
late unsettled feeling.
On the contrary, new failures among South
street firms, and rumors of private settlements iu almost every branch
of merchandise have increased the late prevailing distrust, and it
has become almost impossible to negotiate on the street any other
than the most indubitable names.
The banks are taking little other
paper than that of their customers, and although cautious, do not
appear to regard the frequency of suspensions'as calling for any
dtreme precautions.
Affairs are now in such a position that lor
the banks to act otherwise thin liberally toward their customers
would involve serious danger.
The failures are chiefly confined to
importing houses, and have been induced by the excessive im¬
portations during late seasons.
In nearly all branches of trade
there are many renewals of obligations; and it i3 to be hoped that

Business is so completely deranged in that section that the banks
here are very cautious about making advances for moving the cot¬

The depressed con¬

of trade have naturally a tendency to check the investment demand,
and to cause an increased offering of bonds upon the market. Some
of the larger dealers, however, have probably large amounts of bonds
on hand, and their efforts to sustain the
market has partially held
the downward tendency in check. The introduction iuto Congress

the
of a resolution
authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to exchange
registered for coupon bonds has had a slight effect in weakening the
value of coupon bonds of certain issues, and has equally favored
registered bonds.
The decline in gold has had an important bearing upon the value
of bonds, especially of the issues of 1862 and 1865 (May
coupons).
The foreign mark-.t have responded sluggishly to the fall in the pre¬
mium, and bonds have consequently declined in this market, SixtyTwos being to-day £ per cent below the figures of last Friday.
There has been a cessation of the foreign demand for 10-40’s, the
price for which closes 1 per cent, lower.

The Central
Pacific Railroad, now rapidly approaching
completion, promises to be one of the most valuable lines in the
world, the eari.ings upon the completed part being already largely
in (xcess of the Company’s expenses and annual liabilities. The
First Mortgage 6 per cent Gold Bonds, authorized by act of Con¬
gress, are being rapidly taken up by capitalists and others desiring
an unusually stable and profitable form of investment.
Both prin¬
cipal and interest are paid in gold coin ; and as the accrued interest
from July 1 is charged in currency, though repaid in specie, there
is an important gain in purchasing before Jan. 1. The bonds are
selling at 95, and back interest., by the agents of the company
Messrs. Fisk & Hatch, No. 5 Nassau-st.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
I riday, P.
M., December 6, 1867.
Since
Thanksgiving the dry goods trade has slackened up
materially, and the demand for domestic goods is now quite
irregular and limited, both for home consumption and for ex_
port. The extreme uncertainty of monetary affairs and dis¬
trust shown in all other departments of business, has the effect
to *ake all parties even more cautious than during the sum¬
mer and autumn seasons.
The demand at this time is con¬
fined to the small lots necessary for immediate wants, while
there are a few parties who always stand ready to take goods
when offered at a sacrifice, and a few instances of such sales
The export derrfand has fallen off* for some un¬
are noticed.
accountable reason, and no
longer offers the expected outlet
surplus goods* Woolen goods are without particular
change or interesting feature. Small lots are taken for imme¬
diate use. Foreign goods are dull and inactive. F The auction
sales are not very numerous, and prices are quite nominal.
The exports of dry goods for the past week and since January
1, 1867, and the total for the same time in 1866 and 1860
are shown in the following table:

The

The
the past week took
place
on
Friday.
Messrs.
WilmerdiDg, Hoguet A Co. held the last special sale of the
Lupiu’s fabrics by order of Messrs. Benkard A Hutton. There
was a
very large attendance, aid in acme styles,
especially those that
would command a sale in the
spring—should the necessity to carry
them over
occur—brought comparatively better rates, but of course
on the whole,
prices were ruinously low. We subjoin a few quota¬
tions—6-4 poplin alpaca,
29^30c.; superfine Coburgs, assorted colors,
S2@34c., the finer grades were withdrawn, as also
many of the 6-4
extra superfine Merino cloth at
68@65c.; the 7-4 do. brought 79@81c.;
do. superb, 89@90a, $1 15 for
white; 6-4 poplin reps, assorted colors
68@70c; do. finer, 80c., with much passed ; 6-4 Biarritz, $1 10@$1
20,
and the velours ottoman
bringing but $1 20 were also withdrawn.
Messrs. Haggerty A Co. disposed of a
very choice selection of fine
and heavy woolens,
cloakings, doeskins, Ac., which beiug offered at six
month’s credit on owner’s risk, attracted
very large attendance.
The
sale was a very successful one as far as
regards reducing stock, for
much of the
catalogue was well duplicated, many of the mantilla man¬
ufacturers being represented,
and ^buying with much spirit. Prices
however, were no better, except in a few instances, where
very desir¬

Instead of issuing a

scrip dividend to dealers, based
that all classes of risks are equally
profitable, this Company makes such cash abatement or
discount from the current rates, when premiums are
paid, as the general experience of underwriters will
warrant, and the nett profits remaining at the close of
the year, will be divided to the stockholders.
This Company continues to make Insurance on Ma¬
