parties ; he blindly undertakes heavy risks without being able
to judge of the conditions which determine them; and his
speculation is consequently as essentially gambling as the
the throwing of tie dice.
There is the greatest possible
danger of stock speculation based, in the first instance, upon
sound considerations, thus lapsing into the most reckless
forms of gambling.
There is, however, a large extent of speculation gotten up

Not unfrequently
intentionally false representations are put in circulation for

employed for misleading operators. When a clique, after

to

subservient pensioners to give (t points” to half credulous

This plan might accommodate the passenger traffic, but the
transportation of freight is of vastly more importance, and we
apprehend that the elevated railway would never be regarded
as meeting that requirement.
Another plan is that which
proposes the opening of a route somewhere west of Broadway,

there are objections which ought to be obviated, before the
undertaking should be authorised.
To place a railroad in Broadway, or at least very near it,
to have it a freight as well as a passenger road, and yet to
have Broadway as eligible for its present occupation as it has
ever been,
appear to be the necessary conditions of the pro¬
blem; short of this the work is incomplete; if this be effected
there is nothing more needed. It is certainly desirable, and
in fact necessary, to keep a railroad off from Broadway.
The
street is wanted for an immense number of purposes for our
merchants, for our gala days, and by our citizens for a prom,

of

Secre¬

McCulloch.—Secretary McCulloch has written the following let
Finance Committee with regard to the pending bill
for the repeal of internal tax on manufactures.
It will be seen that
the idea advanced by the Secretary, is that the passage of this bill will
not only result in the loss to the Government of the revenue heretofore
derived fro u these articles under the tax law, but in a reduction of the
receipts from customs. Since this letter was written the Senate has

important relief under the present severe pressure.
United States Securities.—Governments have
been on the
whole heavy. There has been a
pariial demand from the Western
Cities, but the local demand has been very limited, and but
for the
support rendered by one or two large dealers the market
could
hardly have held its own against the severe pressure in
money. On
Wednesday the Assistant-Treasurer bought a moderate amount of
Seven-Thirties, the price then being 105-f ; since which the market

revenues.

A

considerable portion of the large revenues from customs received
during the two last fiscal years, and which are still ma ntained, are due
in no inconsiderable extent to the fact that the
high prices in his
country have made cur market a desirable one for the s le of foreign

productions. So great a reduction of prices as will be effected by the
contemplated legislation cannot, I repeat, but have a tendency to re¬

consequently to impair the revenue from cus¬

steadier, and closes firm at a nominal advance
upon our
last quotations.
Within the present month, there has been a
considerable increase
in the conversions of Seven-Thirties. ' The
government, however,
shows no great anxiety about
getting the notes out of the way
before maturity, relying
apparently on the fact that as the holders
of the notes will then have the choice between
money for the face
of the note and a bond at a
premium of 4@5 per cent., there can
be no fear of inconvenience to the

toms.
hould ti

law, I think it may be f «rly es¬
timated that the total revenues f r the next fecal

hundred to a hundred and
twenty millions below the estimates made
in my last *nnu 1

report It is exceedingly desirable that taxes should

felt assured that it would be

accompanied with

a

corresponding reduc

I am free to say that I am greatly apprehensive
that such a reduction of
expenditures will not be made, nd that the
revenues of the country for the next fiscal
year, if ti e bill ow before
the Sen ate or in the hands of
your committee should become a law
wiU be insufficient to meet the interest on the
public debt and the cur
rent expense of th * Government.
I earnest y ask that the Finance Committee will
give this subject
careful consideration in all its bearings before
reporting f vorably upon the
bill referred to. Nothing could be more disastrous to the credit of the
"Government at the present time than such a reducti nof taxes as woui<
create a necessity for an increase of the

Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market has
been much embarrassed
through the stringency of money. As
usual, the first effects were apparent on the weaker class of securi¬
ties, involving among other results the failure of a firm
largely
interested in Canton
Company, which fell from Gi at the close o
last week to 45|-. Two other broker’s firms also
failed through
their inability to carry Erie and New York
Central. At the
beginning of the week, large amounts of Erie, New York Central,
Cleveland and Toledo, and Hudson River were thrown
upon the
market, in consequence of the dissatisfaction of certain members of
the Vanderbilt clique, with the
management of its affairs. This
caused a heavy decline in the
stocks, New Yor k Central falling to
115£, and produced embarrassment to ceitain of Mr. Vanderbilt’s

coadjutors resulting in a panicky feeling upon stocks which have

been fully developed. The last bank statement showed that the been regarded as peculiarly strong.

New York City Banks.—The following statement shows the
gold, the condition of the money market being unfavorable to such condition of the Associated Banks of
New York City lor fhe week
operations. The predominant tendency of the market has been ending at the commencement of business on March 14, 1808 :J

The iirmness of cotton and Five-Twenties abroad, the
continued moderation of the imports, and the pr. spect of the coin
downward.

payments of the Treasury on May' 1, have induced a very general
disposition to anticipate a lower premium ; and these inducements
to sell “ short ” have been strengthened by the ease of borrowing
gold, pending the high rates for money. Under these circumstances
the market has become largely oversold, and this fact encourages
holders of gold to keep it, in expectation of an ultimate “ corner¬
ing” of the “ shorts.” There has been no news to produce any
important changes in the premium, and the fluctuations have been
mainly the result of speculative causes* »
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 :

Fish, fruits, hops, hay, whiskey, building materials and other

reduced stock, prices are well
supported.
In provisions, the advices from
abroad and from the West
are of a more favorable

disposition to operate on the part of shippers, speculators and
regular dealers, and prices of hog products generally have more
strength, the advance on some articles during the past two
or three
days being very decided. The offerings are rather

Erie Railroad.—This

and

Legislature, is progressing rapidly, the work being in progress
between Mechanicsville and Willimantic, a distance of about 26
miles. The prospects of the completion of the road and branches
are stated by a cotemporary as follows:—“ Between Mechanicsville
and Putnam, a little les* than two miles, the contractor expects to
have it entirely completed in March. This connection will briner
in the important business of Putnam, a large manufacturing town.
At Putnam, a heavy bridge, requiring about 6,000 perch of stone,
is to be built, and the contractors are making active preparations,
and will be all ready to put it up wheu the season opens
On the
line between Putnam and Willimantic, 700 men are now at work,
and the force will be increased daily, probably reaching 1,0 )0 dur¬
ing the month, and still more as the season advances. This portion
of the road will be completed by June 1, 1863, and will form a
connecting link which will give uninterrupted communication on
the Boston, Hartford and Erie road, between Boston and Waterbury, Conn., a point but seventy-two miles from Fishkill, the

Chicago and Alton.
