On the other hand, it is certain that the country is paying
heavy charges on its debt, and that a great nation like the
United States ought to be able in the third year of peace,
to sell on better terms long gold bonds,
such as we are now
giving in exchange for the three years expiring Seven-Thirties.
Of these, as has been said, there are at this moment some

outstanding. By the original contract the
holder of each note may claim at maturity an equivalent
Five-Twenty bond; or, if he chooses, he may instead be
paid off in currency at par. The Government has no choice
in the premises.
The choice rests with the investor. Next
July, unless the Five-Twenties should fall below par, a con¬
tingency which is very unlikely, these 200 millions of SevenThirties will be transmuted into Five Twenties, and the
funding of the debt will be finished so far as it can be done
at present.
Now, one does not need much sagacity to see
in these vast funding operations which are now doing, one
cause of the low price of Government bonds.
These securi¬
ties are less eligible and less rapidly absorbed because they
are not fixed and stable.
They are being manipulated,
emitted from the Treasury and bought back again, exchanged
and transformed one into another, and the market is being
constantly fed with new issues. Now, if there is one thing
among the subordinate attractions of an investment which
frugal people, saving people, moneyed people love, it is
stability; if there is one thing they chiefly hate and shrink
from, it is instability and incertitude. The Government has
to pay for the instability inseparable from the funding pro¬

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The week opened with
steady feeling and a strong upward tendency in Erie (the price
advancing to 78J) induced an expectation of higher prices. Sub¬
sequently, events occurred in Erie which completely reversed the
tendency of the market and produced a very unsettled feeling.

charges of misconduct in office and breach of trust, and re¬
quiring him to show cause why such suspension should not be per
manent. These proceedings were probably intended tor the pur¬
pose of putting up the price of Erie; but the effect has been the
reverse.
On Wednesday, at a meeting of the Erie Directors, it
was determined upon to guarantee the bonds of a new broad guage
road, connecting the Erie with the Michigan Southern ; and at
the same time representatives of the Michigan Southern Company
agreed to place an additional rail on their road making it at the
same time both a broad and narrow guage.
In this way, the Erie
Company intend to secure a broad guage through to the Pacific.
This scheme is in direct opposition to Mr. Vanderbilt’s kcombination of roads ; and consequently places Mr. Vanderbilt and Mr.
Drew in direct opposition of policy.
It is concluded from this
position of affairs that Mr. Vanderbilt’s next move will be to
secure the control of the Erie at the next election of Directors.
This confused condition of affairs has resulted in a fall of 11 per
cent, in the price of Erie, the price to-day touching 67£, but clos¬
ing at 69£. The general list has sympathised with this condition
of affairs, especially New York Central, which to-day touched 128',
but reacted to 131.
The market closes 2@5 per cent, below our
last prices.

gold, until near the close of the week, there being no exciting news
from Washington and a diversion of operators to the Stock Ex¬
change. This morning, the adva nee of foreign exchange to specie
shipping point produced a stronger feeling, and gold was freely bid
lor at 140$. In the afternoon, it was reported from Washington that
the President had removed Secretary Stanton,and appointed in his
stead Adjutant-General Lorenzo Thomas, upon which the price
advanced to 141-f. Later it was announced that the Senate was in
secret session upon the matter, and that the President’s action had
been referred to the Reconstruction Committee, ou wlvch the price
still further advanced, and at 5.30 P. M. was strong at 142^. The
activity of the customs demand and the reported probability of an
early advance of the Bank of England rate ot discount have a cer¬
tain effect in supporting the premium.
The fluctuations in the gold market, and the business at the Gold
Board during the week closing with Friday, are shown in the fol¬
lowing table :

Freights have generally declined. The stoppage of pro¬
vision shipments, and the speculation in cotton have caused
offerings to be limited, and the principal business at the close
is in breadstuffs at 3s. for Hour by sail to Liverpool and Lon¬
don, 8^@9^-d. for corn to Liverpool by sail and steam, and
JOjd. for corn by steam to Glasgow* But cotton is offering
more freely at
the close, with rates to Liverpool fd@&d. by
sail and steam. Petroleum charters are also more inquired for.

Markets.—In reference to these mar.
kets, our correspondent in London, writes as follows :*
Liverpool, Feb. 8.—During the early part of the week the cotton
trade was very quiet and prices were rather lower; but during the last
few days much activity has prevailed, and the decline which then took
place has been fully recovered. In some instances, indeed, a slight im¬
provement ha9 taken place. As compared with last week, Sea Island
produce shows an advance of Id, Brazilian of £d, Egyptian of ^d, Surat
and Madras of fd. to ^d, Scinde and Bengal of ^d. to $d. per lb. Am¬
erican cotton after declining £d. closes at last week’s quotations. The
total sales of the week are 105,210 bales, of which 9,280 bales are on
speculation, 18,070 bales for export and 77,880 bales for the trade.

uninspected 188 hhds.—tota' 486
hhds. The only information we have from
Lynchburg is that o » the
1st there were in warehouses there
only 10 hhds. uninspected tobacco.
The stock of inspecte 1 tobacco there on the 1st
January last was 126
hhds., and judging from the decrease of stocks in Richmond and Peters¬
burg, it is probably even less now.
i'he same is doubtless true of

Farmville, where there were only twenty inspected hhds. on 1st Jan.
Estimating the stocks in Lynchburg and Farmville the same as on the
1st January, 1868, the following table will show with

beginning to arrive more freely, and transactions in these
consequently increasing. Prices have fallen off slightly insome grades of sugar and molasses, though the stock of the
former is extremely small. Gold advanced sharply late this
afternoon, but there was not time for the effect to be felt on
the market, and the advance is probably temporary. The
feeling on the street is much better than during the latter part
and more confidence is felt in the future.
imports of the week have been on an average scale,
including two cargoes of black tea and four of Rio coffee at
New York, and also four cargoes of Rio coffee at Baltimore.

P. M., February 21, 1868.

P riday,

report for the past week a very excited market
Dry Goods, with a material advance in the price
of all favorite manufactures. The largest transactions have
been in Prints and brown and bleached goods, but the
remainder of the list is firm and in moderate request, under
the influence of the advance in the raw material.
We have to

higher range of quotations may be expected. . We deem
improbable that stocks were allowed to run so low through¬
out the country as to cause the products of all the principal
mills to be inadequate to supply the demand ; but if such be
not the case, into what channel have they passed ?
The
exports are liberal, but are not sufficient to account for the
present scarcity; the most reasonable explanation of the pro¬
blem is that large orders have been placed in expectation of
this advance, and that the stock is now withheld to give a
strong undertone to the market.
Thus far the present advance, being based on the enhanced
value of the raw material, may produce the most beneficial
effect; but if under the influence of speculation it passes the
bounds of prudence, the result must be prejudicial to the
Spring business. Jobbers and dealers are purchasing these
goods so freely that in case the consumption does not come
up to their anticipations, they will have a larger stock on
hand than can be conveniently carried, and their orders for
other goods must be restricted in proportion.
Woolens,
hosiery, linens, foreign dress goods and ribbons are all rela¬
tively neglected, and we cannot therefore regard as a healthy
symptom of a prosperous Spring trade this feverish activity in
a few
departments of domestic manufacture.
The exports of dry goods for the week ending Feb. 18, and
since January 1, 1868, and the total for the same time in
