On Tuesday loans on call were, as they had been for some time before, in fair demand at 6 per cent in Wall Street. Money was easy, and neither lenders nor bor¬ rowers saw even a speck of cloud in the financial horizon. Suddenly, however, about an hour before the closing of the banks, a change came on. Everybody seemed to~ want to borrow and scarcely any body was willing or able to lend. The origin of this sudden pinch, as we have hinted, was chiefly imaginary. The supply of loanable capital was, as it commonly is, in excess of the dpmand. The currency in the vaults of our banks was ample; the legal tenders having accumulated to a heavy amount, and the supply of THE RECENT FLURRY IN THE The events of the reserve. Another set of declared that the compound in¬ longer held as a reserve by the banks and that they would be obliged immediately to go into the market and sell their compounds or other securities to get greenbacks enough to serve as their legal reserve. It was added that all the banks throughout the country were in a condition of tremulous incertitude, that the country bal¬ ances in our leading banks would be drawn down imme¬ diately, and that the financial prospects of the country were never so gloomy. It is no wonder, therefore, that for a short time on Tues¬ day the money market was in a condition verging on panic. The next day, however, it was discovered that by the excel¬ lent arrangements made by Mr. Van Dyck, the Assistant Treasurer, all the payments on account of the negotiation of gold were made promptly, and with apparent ease; not a single bank made application for an extension; and what was a still more satisfactory and significant proof of the strength of the banks, there were no withdrawals of their temporary deposits from the Sub-Treasury. A more gratifying circumstance still, in many points of view, is the rapid recovery of the market from so severe a blow.

If Congress and the Secretary of the Trea¬ sury continue to adopt the same unswerving conservative policy which has enabled us during thejpast year to borrow over 1,400 millions of dollars, and, at the same time, to con¬ tract the currency to the extent of 200 millions, without im¬ pairing the elasticity or the strength of our financial system, and without producing a single spasm which was not of a transient, limited and fugitive character, we may still be¬ lieve, notwithstanding the sinister forebodings of the croakers, that we shall get gradually back to specie payments without more severe disasters than we have had heretofore, and that the long predicted “ crash ” may be deferred to the Greek the case to a limited extent.

Their position strengthened to meet any of those panics and mone¬ tary spasms which may await us in our perilous path towards resumption of specie payments. The fact that their reserve is earning interest enables the banks to hold a liberal amount, and their risk is to augment it. But if we make greenbacks the reserve, this salutary movement will cease, their wish will be the other way and our banks throughout the country instead of piling up as much reserve as they can carry, will be tempted to keep it down to the ’ lowest possible point. The compound notes, therefore, which they sell from their vaults, will not be replaced by an equal number of greenbacks, but by as much smaller an amount as can be made to suffice.

Their presence should inspire us with caution. COMPOUND INTEREST NOTES AS BANK RESERVE. Committee on Banks and Cur¬ rency have reported favorably on Mr. Hooper’s proposition to prevent the National Banks from keeping compound inte¬ rest notes as a part of the 25 per cent reserve required by law to be kept in their vaults. These institutions are already prohibited from keeping such notes as a reserve for their cir¬ culation. But Mr. Hooper proposes to go further and to extend the prohibition to the reserve held against the depos¬ its also. Congress has a clear legal right to enforce such an arrangement but we much doubt its expediency at the pre¬ We regret to see that the a much is thus could fail produce a spasm of serious extent and duration. There would be a general rush for greenbacks, with the. usual con¬ sequences. A more important evil still, however, is the dis¬ expect that such a transaction, when it takes place, to Mr. Hooper’s proposition would introduce the machinery now at work in contracting the currency. turbance which into compound interest notes, as has been fully proved by facts, constitute the most gentle, elastic, and powerful machi¬ nery for contracting the active currency without deranging the loan market, that has ever been set in operation in any country for this purpose. By its benign and effective influ¬ ence we may hope to reduce gradually the inflating power of our currency, until our papei dollar shall rise by safe de¬ grees in purchasing power, and become once more equal in value to a dollar in gold. Every country that has heretofore sent moment. The only reason urged for it is that the National Banks been cursed with a depreciated currency has reduced its volume by a series of severe depletions causing jerks and are making too much money out of the Government paper Relying on this - method they hold, and that they ought not to expect to get any inte¬ panics in the money market. which American financial science has set in operation we may rest on their reserve. If this reserve were specie or green¬ backs it would earn no interest; but if it were compound probably entertain a well-grounded confidence that the pros¬ of credit, the disturbance of commerce and trade, and notes they would grow more valuable till maturity, when tration the ruinous financial convulsions which have always made they are worth nearly twenty per cent, more than their face. It may be asked, however, who wull gain what the banks memorable and disastrous the reform of a depreciated cur- '• lose by the change ?

Domestic wools do not possess the fulling quali¬ ties necessary for the maunfacture of the finer class of fabrics ; and, in plain terms, it amounts to this, that if the large amount of machinery introduced within the last seven years, for the manufacture of the classes of goods we have been wont to import, cannot be allowed to have its appropriate raw material, the mills must be closed, the machinery must rot. and the goods be imported from Europe. It is quite 1 possible that the proposed legislation may seriously cripple domestic manufactures by preventing them from ensuring all the conditions necessary to success; but it is certain that it can never benefit the home wool growers through compelling manufacturers to use a kind of raw material not adapted for their purposes. The true policy for the wool growers is to consent to manufacturers having every facility for getting the cheapest raw material the world produces.

From Jan. 1 to Jan 11, the actual shipments were 61,732 bales against 28,106 bales during the corre¬ - sponding period in 1865. Very unfavorable accounts continue to be received from Egypt re¬ specting the crop of cotton in that country. The total shipments al¬ ready show a diminution of 35,000s bales, and very little produce is coming forward. Hence, the statements which have been in circulation for some weeks of a probable deficiency have turned out correct, for it appears certain at the present moment that our imports from that quarter will fall short of last year by about 33 per cent. At the same time, the accounts from India continue to represent the cultivation of cotton as suffering a considerable diminution, whilst seeds are being cultivated to a greater extent. The prices now being obtained for oleagenous seeds, in the London Market offer a large margin of remunera¬ tion to the grower, and as the Indian ryots feel certain that their cotton is not of sufficient length and flexibility to compete with the superior produce of America, they are wisely turning their attention to the more extended production of an article in which they enjoy a fair mon¬ opoly, Russia only being her great competitor in the market. The fol¬ lowing is a comparison of the present prices of oilseeds with those of last year: 76 Prices 1866. e. d. b. d. Prices 1865. s. d. s. d. 64 6®.. 66 6@....

On Monday and Tues¬ day, prices generally advanced 2@3 per cent, the great trunk roads being especially firm. The clique movement placed reliance upon the'supposed over-sold condition of the mar¬ ket; it turned out, however, that the “shorts” had already settled the larger proportion of their, outstanding contracts. The consequent disappointment prepared the street for sym¬ pathising sharply with the pinch in the money market de¬ veloped on Wednesday, as the result of the large govern¬ ment sales of gold, and prices lost all they had gained on the preceding day. This morning, the market exhibited a partial recovery from the decline of Wednesday, prices be¬ ing about 4 per cent higher: but the report of renewed heavy transactions in gold, by tie Assistant Treasurer, pro¬ duced another reaction, and the market closes on an average ket will be continued daily, and on Saturday morning, such as have been published through will be collected and published in the Chronicle. 104% 102% K 2% 102% 94% S. 6’s, Railroad ®I)e Honkers’ <9>-a?ette.

Gold Market.—The government continues to sell On Saturday last and gold in considerable amounts. Wednesday about five millions were thrown upon the mar-' ket; and since then probably an equal amount has been sold, making an addition to the supply of about ten millions during seven days. • Foreign bankers who had been large sellers when the premium ranged about 40 have replenished their stock during the government sales, making a handsome profit by the operation. As the peculiar condition of mon¬ etary affairs in England renders it necessary for this class of houses to keep an ample reserve for shipments, in the event of emergencies, the gold which has gone into their hands will form no part of the supply for customs purposes, the chief source of demand ; so that an important portion of the gold recently sold by the government has simply passed from one form of hoard into another. The market, however, is for the present sensibly relieved, an indication of which is afforded by the fact that 8 per cent is now be¬ ing paid for having gold “ earned.” The fluctuations in the premium have been slight, the highest price having been 137% and the lowest 136$. The supply will be augmented early in March by the payment of over four millions- of interest upon Ten-forty bonds, due on the 1st proximo. The political developments yesterday at Washington were made the pretext this morning for a movement to send up the premium ;'the Assistant Treasurer, however, put a round sum upon the market, and the price fell to 136^, having opened at 137 [j.

Drugs, &c. diminishing, while those at Western markets indicate no correspondinug increase, preparatory to meeting the Spring demand ; and the question of supply, independent of any foreign demand, becomes one of considerable gravity. Provisions have shown an upward tendency in nearly all articles for which there is any export demand. Pork has been dull and drooping; the disproportionate quantity of Mess Pork packed, and the limited de mand for export and home consumption, affords little encouragement to holders. Bacon and Lard, on the contrary, have advanced nearly a cent a pound, and were very active to-day. Beef has been more active, and Butter and Cheese have shown an upward tendency. The improve¬ ment in all except barrelled Provisions, seems to be due entirely to the active home and coastwise demand. The receipts are fully up to for¬ mer years, except in Beef and Butter; but there is little foreign export, and yet prices advance. Groceries have not been active. Coffees were quiet until to day when favorable advices, both from Rio and Europe, led to considerable^ business. Sugars have receded to nearly the lowest point; and the foreign intelligence is not favorable to an early recovery ; but to day there was a good business at the decline. Molasses has been active; several cargoes of “ new crop” have been sold. Rice tends downward. Teas have been active. Spices quiet.. Fruits have been dull. Fish in more demand, and rather firmer.

The regular merchants seem disposed to buy no more than is necessary for immediate trade : and speculators find matters in so uncertain a state that they are loth to invest. Cotton has been rather excited at a considerable range of prices, the influence of varying reports from Liverpool.

COTTON. \ The market has been very excited and irregular. The European ad¬ penny a pound, carried up this market fully three cents above the lowest p int, and gave speculative holders re¬ newed encouragement to coutiuue to carry stocks, the weight of which had become a pretty severe burden. The advance in American cotton, while other descrip ion9 declined in the Liverpool market, has lead to some discussion as to the cause. The reasons, however, are evident, and grow out of the large and increased shipments from India since the beginning of the year. It 13 well known that the Surat cotton cann t bo used to advantage except with the American staple. The increased supply, therefore, of the former has led to its decline, while less favorable interpretati* n of the accounts from this side has made the market for American active at higher rates. The shipments at Bombay, as given by our London correspondent in his letter published to-day, from Jan. 6th to Jan. 11th, were 61,732 bales, against 2S,106 bales during the corresponding period of 1865. This market has not fully supported the advance of Monday and Tuesday, but closes quiet. Sales of the week, 17,000 bales. The following are closing quotations : vices of the advance of a Upland.

The accuracy of this impression begins to be seriously disputed. Indeed, the opinion is held by some that the supplies of flour and wheat are insufficient for home consump¬ tion, as the failure of the crop of 1865 in the Ohio valley, and in the same lattitude east and west (where our finest wheats are grown), was more complete than is recorded iu a score of years. The only quarters in which full crops of good wheat were raised are the far North West (where little besides Spring Wheat is grown), and Western New York, where a large crop is but a small quantity. Milwaukee, the great re¬ ceiving depot for the Northwest, is now sending wheat to Louisville and St. Louis. So much for the supply ; now for the demand.
