It must, however, be remembered that monetary stringen cy may result from many other causes besides mere contrac¬ tion of the currency, and that contraction, if skilfully done, is quite compatible with monetary ease. Last year the cur¬ rency was contracted 100 millions without producing a tight money market because the withdrawal of the paper money was done at the right time and in the right way. Now, a very much smaller withdrawal of currency might produce a very disastrous revulsion. What disturbs business now, however, is not only, or not so much the contraction which has taken place, but the uncertainty, the vague fear as to what may be done hereafter. For it is proverbial that un¬ certainty and fear are the destruction of material prosperity. Public confidence and public credit languish in an atmos¬ phere of doubt and anxiety. The other leading provision of the bill in question forbids the Secretary of the Treasury to sell or otherwise dispose of any gold or silver coin now held by the Government of the United States, or that may hereafter be received by it from duties on imports, as now provided by law, until the balance of specie in the Treasury shall amount to 200 mil¬ lions, when it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to give public notice that all liabilities of the Govern¬ ment of the LTnited States matured and to mature will be “ * It further provides that it shall be unlawful Files for holding the Chronicle or Bulletin can be had at this Office. for any National Bank to sell or otherwise dispose of any Price $1 50. gold received in payment of interests on bonds held by the The third volume of the Chronicle, from July to December, 1866, inclu¬ Treasurer of the United States as security for the redemp¬ sive, is for sale at this Office ; price, unbound, $5 00. tion of its notes while not redeeming its notes in coin, and all National banks failing to so redeem their notes within NEW FINANCIAL”BILLS IN CONGRESS. thirty days after the resumption of specie payments by the Although it is generally understood that no financial meas¬ Government shall forfeit their charters.” ures of importance will be taken up in Congress before the In addition to these two provisions the* proposed bill au¬ Fall session, several important bills have been proposed, thorizes the issue of 20 gears’ bonds, the interest of which which will lie over for consideration during the recess, that shall be 7.3 per cent, in currency, or, after 3 years, 6 per they may be acted upon with more mature information by cent, in gold, if the government choose to make the change.

We will not dwell, however on the individual suffering, the universal bankruptcy, into which any rash at. tempts at sudden resumption would plunge the country. The imagination shrinks back appalled at its terrors. The experience and business habitudes of the Chamber of Com. merce will, we presume, lead them to the conclusion that the resumption of specie payments, were it possible, would be unjust until the vast obligations of the Treasury are out of the way. These debts were incurred in currency, and to pay them in standard coin would be to overstep the conditions on which the debts were incurred, and to add a bonus to all the government creditors at the expense of the country at the only right that the press should abstain from any re¬ might produce a mischievous, because incorrect, impression on the public mind, and might do injustice to the parties supposed to be implicated in such irregularities as have come to light, or in others of like nature which have not yet been disclosed.

After period of more than usual delay, we have at length received the trade returns of Great Britain for the past year. In many respects, they are of more than a ordinary interest, while they indicate the existence of a larger trade than has heretofore been carried on by any one country since interna¬ tional trade became the active pursuit of men. Much of this increase is due to the fact that previously to the failure of Overend, Gurney & Co., in May last, unusual facilities for obtaining advances were given the British merchants. The late crisis, however, has reduced the number of banking, fin¬ ancial and discount establishments in Great Britain, and many commercial houses fiud greater difficulty in raising money, hence, this class of traders—one, indeed, which is very numer¬ ous—is compelled to act with much more circumspection, and we anticipated, therefore, that the trade of this year will fall iomewhat below that of 1866.

Austria, another country in difficulties, has asked for a loan of £6,000,000, the security offered being the Government domains. The loan has been brought out at Vienna by the Credit Foncier of Austria; but in order to secure the amount, the loan is divided into 500,000 obligations of £12 each, so that the prudent artisan may have the opportunity of investing his small savings. Greece is another semi¬ bankrupt country, and the Deputy Governor of the National Bank of Athens has arrived in England to conclude some definite arrangement with r gard to the loan of 1824-5, as a preliminary step to the intro duction of a nev loan.

Beek Packing at which it comments as follows : glance at the Statistics given below, it will be seen that the pork packing during the past season foots up 133,370 head, against 87,858 the previous season, and 107,229 during the season of 1864-5. This is an increase of 45,517 head, or nearly 50 per cent, over last sea¬ son. The beef packing, however, shows a different result- there being a steady falling off in the number of cattle packed during the last three seasons—aggregating 7,044 head during the season just closed, against 10,716 last year, and 18,978 in 1864-6. Of the stock of hog products on hand, no very accurate idea can be given, as one of the principal packers refused to give any information whatever concerning the amount held by him. An approximate ideaot the stock of pork and lard, how¬ ever, may be gathered by comparing shipments since the opening of the season, with the results of the packiug.
