Notwithstanding the uncertainty which has prevailed during the week as to who should be the Secretary of the Treasury under the new administration, there has been a buoyant confidence in financial circles; and when on Thurs¬ day it was announced that Mr. George S. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, would take the vacant office, there was an almost immediate advance in Government bonds both here and in London. Nor is this to be wondered at, for Mr. Boutwell is well known tive financial reform. officer he gave as an earnest That he is an advocate of able conserva¬ administrative conspicuous proofs when in 1862 he was organization of the new Internal Reve¬ nue Bureau. The public have had unusual facilities for knowing his fitness for office, and although in the history of the Republic, a Secretary of the Treasury has never proba¬ bly been appointed whose qualifications were submitted beforehand to a more varied series of tests, never has such an officer on taking the seals of office been greeted by such entrusted with the affecting public opinion, of a more general nature. Formerly it was of little importance? who was entrusted with the control of the Treasury Department. The reve¬ nues of the government were comparatively small, and except by the customs duties which bring the revenue officers into direct contact with THE BANKERS’ GAZETTE AND COMMERCIAL TIMES.

Ilis patronage was small and his powers were incon¬ siderable. Since the war, however, all is changed. The subordinates of the Treasury are counted by thousands, and the patronage of the office is immense, We have a colossal debt, and we are going to attempt during the lifetime of this administration to ease the pressure of this debt by the expe¬ dient of lowering the rate of interest. Two thousand mil¬ lions of our bonds are afloat, and the Secretary of the Treas¬ ury is the officer whose counsels will guide the legislation, and whose energies will execute the decrees of Congress relative to this vast mountain of national obligation. At the least he will have to deal directly with that part of the public debt on which a lower rate of interest is to be put. Again, instead of being as formerly the great untaxed Republic, we groan under the heaviest, most vexatious most inquisitorial and most cumbrous tax system in Chris¬ tendom. To the Secretary of the Treasury we look to give us fiscal relief. Iu the Cabinet he is the only officer who represents our fiscal needs, and he is the only Cabinet officer that, under the Constitution is authorized to communicate with Congress. Thirdly, he has the care of the Government purse, and that purse contains usually some 90 millions of gold. small part of this coin sold by the Secretary at an A very inoppor¬ may throw Wall street into convulsions and almost shipwreck public and private credit. Movements on the part of the Treasury have sometimes produced the most disastrous evils when those movements, though well-meant, were ill-iudged or ill timed. Now in Mr. Boutwell we have an officer whose public record and private character are equally without reproach. He is too honest to use the vast powers of the Treasury to disturb financial affairs, either from caprice, or with a view to make money for himself or his friends. He is too wise to recommend or adopt any timid, halting or narrow policy. At critical junctures of the money market every fibre of the body politic thrills in response to the doings of the Secre¬ tary of the Treasury, and it is because of Mr. Boutwell’s proved fitness for the special task intrusted to him that his appointment is hailed with such general satisfaction and tune moment confidence. hearty generous universal welcome. It is, of course, premature to attempt to sketch out the Apart from these personal reasons why the public have confidence in Mr, Secretary Boutwell, there are motives at policy which Mr. Boutwell will urge upon Congress and the 1! 5 THE CHRONICLE. 326 [ March 13, 1869. financial ques¬ ges represent the * immense financial transactions of the tions of the day he has, however, an honorable record.

With this view he is in favor of the following expedients : He would first place the princi¬ enough for the law to define the general conditions and limits within which banking shall be conducted ; but, when pal beyond reach of the repudiatorsby solemnly pledging the faith and credit of the nation to its payment in gold. it undertakes to determine the methods of business and Secondly, he would reduce the debt as rapidly as the supersedes that prudent discretion with which managers, if national means and ability will allow.

Fourthly, he would refuse to put in jeopardy the Does Congress imagine that the managers of the banks financial 'Stability and industrial prosperity of the country by any rash manipulation of the currency, or by any sudden doing a Wall street business—generally conceded to be the violent attempts to resume specie payments. Still, if we shrewdest of our bank officials—are less able than they to judge of what is prudent and safe in this matter? Those are not misinformed, Mr. Boutwell is a hard-money man. At any rate he is vehemently opposed to any further issues who take the risk of certifications ought to be the best of currency under any pretext whatever. On these points judges as to the prudence of the usage; for they are the Besides, he made the following observations among others in his parties who reap the profits and bear the losses. tested by experience, no plea can be found for this prohibi¬ speech of July 21, 1S68, on the Funding bill : tion ; for the banks whose business requires certification find “When issued five hundred mil ions of Five-Twenties we stipu¬ lated to the public creditors that the United States notes, known as the losses associated with the practice merely nominal, and greenbacks, should never be issued in excess of four hundred millions.

Firms of very large means and high credit Possessing such a record, the country looks forward to have no occasion to secure the certification of their checks, Mr. BoutwelFs administration of the Treasury Department because they will pass anywhere upon the strength of the with great confidence. drawer’s name. There is, however, a very large class of houses who, though doing a perfectly sound business, yet do not enjoy a credit sufficient to give currency to checks for PROHIBITION OF THE CERTIFICATION OF CHECKS. That obligation rests upon us. Now, if according to the terms of the act of 1864 it docs not appear beyond all cavil that we might not pay these bonds in green¬ backs, in the same act it doe appear that we shall never issue more than four hundred millions of greenbacks.” Congress has just afforded a very inconvenient illustra¬ tion of the danger of hasty legislation upon matters of great public importance. Early in the session, a bill was intro¬ duced prohibiting National Banks from certifying checks otherwise than against actual deposits. The bill, after slum¬ bering in committee for months, wras finally brought up and adopted in the last hours of the session, almost without dis» cussion, and signed by the late President among his very Had the of the large amounts, for the reason that their capital is not large enough and their position is not sufficiently known ; and, in these cases, before a check can be accepted in exchange for real value to a large amount, the receiver requires that the bank, which is presumed to know intimately the drawer’s position, shall endorse the check. If the bank cannot extend momentary credit to its customer, the firm is so far inca¬ pacitated for transacting business, and its trade falls into the hands of a wealthier rival. To all intents and purposes, last acts. This measure, in its progress, received very little attention from the banks of this city ; not because they did therefore, this is a restriction which in its effect must be destructive to the business men of small means.

In the same sections also Libor continues scarce. A few plea ant weeks now would enable the planters to make good what has been lost by the rain ; but we fear that the question of labor will not be so easily settled.

GROCERIES. Friday The operation at the date of our last report to quiet and diminish business have not yet apparently spent their force. It is not often that we are obliged to record a week of as thorougly inactive markets and lessening prices the one under review. The lower figures which have as marked the course of gold quotations may be partly respon¬ sible for this state of matters/and probably the exciting public events at the Capitol during the week may have bad a share in it. Whatever the cause, it is seldom that all the markets within the range of our report gravitate so simultaneously* Sugars, raw and refined, have steadily declined. Molasses has been lower, and in both, transactions have been very light. Teas have been inactive and prices weak. Coffee without any movement of importance, but stead}7. Imports of the week have been small of tea and coffee, including only one cargo of green teas and one cargo of Rio coffee. The receipts of Cuba box sugar have been quite liberal, and also of sugar in hhds., but of molasses the imports have been small. Full details of the imports at New York for the week, and at the several ports since January 1, are given below under the respective heads. The totals ar« as follows : Total at'all ports At N.

There are a million bushels less Wheat “ in sight,” between Chicago and Liverpool inclusive, than at this date last year, when prices were more than a dollar a bushel higher and the consumption much smaller. It is not improbable also that the increased receipts at the West during the winter, may be followed by comparatively smaller receipts during the spring. No. 2 Spring closed at $1 40@$1 45. Corn has materially declined, although receipts are still light. The demand is limited to the local trade, and that is very small. Oats have also been dull but are firmer.

The areumer t held by many, that prints can be manufactured ou a basis of 12$ cents for standard brands can hardly be a sound one, and should this prica become established in the market, we must look for indifference on the part of manufactures, and the appearance of but few really new and choice styles in the hands of the j fibers. Already as we write, we hear of one or two of the large houses offering a few Lrauds of medium prints—not particn larly noted in the market—at $ to 1$ cents off from previous rates, viz, Briggs at H> cents, Narragansett 10 cents, Nassau 11$ cents and Mancluster at I *.'$• The indications seem to point to a lower range cf have been opened, and are t rices for the whole list of prints which of them to purchase goods direct from the manufacturer’s agency in Chicago. It has not heretofore been deemed advantageous by the leading manufacturers to establish agencies outside of the cities of Boston or New York, and the great trade ot the large Western cities has been done through their immense jobbing houses. If the custom of trade is to change in this respect, and goods to be sent in the package direct to the commission merchant in Chicago or St. Louis from the manu¬ factory in New England, the entire channel of the Dry Goods business will be changed and New York will hardly maintain monopoly which she now enjoys.
