The currency balance in the Treasury cannot be greatly increased without endangering the smooth working of the financial machinery.

Yesterday it was announced from otherwise ordered the gold a week instead of Washington that, until Treasury would sell one million as and two millions of heretofore. The propriety expediency of this announcement are discussed with some excitement of feeling, but of its immediate effects there can be no doubt. The further advance of gold was slopped and the price receded 2 or 3 per cent almost immedi¬ ately. The rumor is that some of our merchants have strong¬ ly urged this policy on Mr. Boutwell and the President, and that the latter gave Of course it is ion about it. peremptory orders to have it adopted. premature at present to offer any positive opin¬ If two millions of gold- are sold every week million of bonds are bought, more than a mil¬ lion of greenbacks a week will be locked up in the while This only one absorption of greenbacks could payment of a large amount of debts.

Three .millions of payments to the government can only be made by three millions of cur¬ rency, that is it imposes more than thirty times as much pressure on the financial machinery to pay debts to the gov¬ ernment as to pay them to business firms and private citizens. This cumbrous and expensive method of making payments into the Treasury is peculiar to this country, and it would be tolerated nowhere else. In England and France no such trou¬ ble is experienced, although the annual transactions of their Treasuries are, at least, as large as our own. It would well repay the investigations of a competent person to trace out for us the precise methods by which the French and English fiscal payments are collected and disbursed, and the gradual improvements which each revenue system has received, till it has reached its present state of comparative perfection. When Mr. Wells the Special Commissioner of Revenue, was in Europe lie perhaps obtained'some valuable information on this subject. If so, it should at once be ’published for the information of Congress and of the public. If not, he should set about supplying the defect. During the next session of Congress these important questions will certainly be up for discussion.

These transactions were commenced when the money market was in a highly sensitiv e and feverish state; and yet so well adjusted was the ti me and manner of payment for gold and bonds, that one set'of trans actions just “ washed ” the other, and not a ripple was pro¬ duced on the surface of the money market and its fluctuating Mr. Van currents. THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASES OF BONDS. The most present saving of interest, but also an improvement [of the prospect of an ultimate economy of interest upon nearly the whole of the gold-bearing Debt. " So far, the Secretary’s pol¬ icy is supported by weighty and statesmanlike considerations. It must, however, be allowed that there are certain featuree in the present position of the finances which go far toward counteracting these wholesome bearings of the Secretary’s course. There are now outstanding $410,000,000 of demand obligations ; upon seven eights of which payment is still sus¬ pended, while the remainder, consisting of Three per cent Certificates are liable to payment on presentation. At home, we have become so accustomed to financial derangements as to be comparatively insensible to the effect of this suspension, upon our currency obligations. In Europe, however, our credit is regulated to a very great extent by this consideration ; and probably little benefit will result in foreign markets from our thus buying up our long obligations while nothing is being done to provide for the payment of our demand indebtedness. This difference in the estimate of Mr. Boutwell’s policy at home and abroad will, in part, account for the fact that, since its adoption, Five-Twenties have advanced G per cent at New York, while they have actually declined 2 per cent in Europe. Of course, however, the fall in the foreign markets must be partly attributed to the action of the Bank of England, designed to discourage speculation in our securities. Unfor¬ tunately, this discrepancy in prices has induced a large advance in the gold premium ; which became necessary to equalize the gold value of bonds at both points ; incidentally, therefore, wro have a very inconvenient and demoralizing result from the earlier purchases of bonds. This condition of affairs suggests the inquiry, whether it would not be wise to suspend the purchases for a time. Besides, there are important reasons claiming the devotion of at least a portion of the Treasury surplus to the retiring of the 3 per cent Certificates. These obligations are in the nature of a temporary loan. They were issued less for the convenience of the Treasury than the banks, which suffered embarrassment from the sudden deprival of the Compound legal-tenders, and desired to have a temporary substitute which might afterward be gradually withdrawn. It is not supposable that this form of legal-tender reserve is to be permanent; and there seems to be no special reason why its gradual retirement should be prominent feature of the administration of the Boutwell, is the inauguration of the pur¬ chase of Government kbonds in the open market. The Secre¬ tary has determined, apparently as a permanent policy, upon devoting the proceeds of the Treasury sales of gold to the purchase of the Five-Twenty obligations. We presume that, in doing this, he is satisfied there will be a surplus of reve¬ nue, beyond all probable contingencies, sufficient to enable him to undertake this operation. It is to be assumed that he is competent, from his position, to form a safe judgment as to the extent of his surplus means. Under the recent changes both in taxation and expenditure, it may appear, to ordinary observers, that there is someuncertainty as to how the reve¬ nues and disbursements of the Government will square with each other; the public, however, will be content to accept the Secretary’s judgment on the matter. The current customs revenue is certainly unusually large, and will leave a heavy surplus of coin for conversion into currency. It is not improb¬ able that the gold revenue for the current year may be close upon $175,000,000, or fully $50,000,000 in excess of the coin payments, equal to say $07,500,000 currency. What proportion of this will be required to compensate for the deficiency of currency income, and what balance may be left for the purchase of bonds, remains to be seen. We presume, however, that Mr. Boutwell will promptly suspend his pur¬ chases of secuiities when he finds his funds are required for other purposes; and it is perhaps too much to expect that the selling of gold and the buying of bonds will be continued regularly the year round. In considering then the pol cy of the present purchases of bonds, it should be rememb. red that the Secretary has on hand undertaken hereafter rather than now. There are $53,240,000 a surplus of revenue. The question is not whether the taxes of these obligations outstanding, and principally In the hands should be reduced, or should be continued on the present of the banks, who can present them in any amount for pay¬ scale for the purpose of paying off’ the Debt; but, circum¬ ment on demand. This exposure of the Treasury balance to stanced as the Secretary now is, with a large surplus of funds, a sudden drain w’ould be a matter of little importance were and with authority to reduce the Debt, we do not seo how he ,he balance kept, as formerly, at from $25,000,000 to could do otherwise than employ his surplus in some manner $40,000,000; but it is a matter of settled policy with Mr. calculated to improve the public credit and economize the Boutwell to keep his currency balance at about one-third the brmer high figures, and, as a collateral policy, it seems neces¬ expenditures.

The taking in of bonds saves to tion in large amounts.

There is room, however, for diversity of late, between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, it appears neces¬ opinion as to whether the Secretary best employs his funds sary either that the Secretary should keep a larger currency and secures the foregoing objects, by the purchase of Five- reserve or that he should lessen his liability to demands from Twenties. It may be truly urged in favor of the selection of this source. It is true that Mr. Boutwell is provided, under the Five-Twenty bonds that, in buying them, he makes the section 3 of the Act of July 11, 18G2, with a reserve of largest economy of interest; and that, by making them com¬ $50,000,000 of United States Notes, which could be made paratively scarce and enhancing the price, he prepares the available for paying off the Certificates; but, in the interest way for the ultimate conversion of this class of securities into of conservative finance, it is high time this reserve were with¬ obligations bearing a lower rate of interest; and tbiaargu- drawn, and the Treasury so managed as to obviate the neces¬ went is ttifl stronger hmm it involves, not only the largest sity of my touobing $ resource provided for u much more finances under Mr. , LMay 22, 1869.

Nor, again, is it to be over¬ looked that, so far as the Secretary might diminish the amount of these temporary obligations, he would remove one important obstacle to the resumption of specie payments; which would be an important step toward the improvement of the public credit.

If an Englishman were to inquire here, diligently, among all classes of the community in town and country, as to the state of feeling on the Alabama question, he would discover that, the treaty having been rejected, there is absolutely no feeling about it. There is no doubt that Mr. Reverdy Johnson’s treaty was distasteful to the American people; they were not willing to submit to arbitration, in the manner they understood that treaty to propose, the question whether we had suffered wrong at the hands of Great Britain during the late war. That question they believe is not open to argu¬ ment. Nor were they content with an arrangement which lumped the Alabama claims with the claims, well or ill-found, ed, of British blockade runners and other vermin of that kind. But the treaty being rejected, they would have forgotten the question before now had not Mr. Sumner’s speech created such intense, and to us here amusing excitement in England, As to the Sumner speech, we doubt if one voter in fifty thou¬ any one Great Britain that she can afford to pay any reasonable bill of damages rather than remain open to such a retort as we undoubtedly would make if she should go to war with any other nation ; and that, England being thus caught in her own trap, we may as well let her get out of it as best w If the English want to settle the Alabama she can. claims let them send oyer a minister, with power to do so.

English journals are apparently trying to persuade their readers; it means that Brother Jonathan sees his cousin John Bull in what he would call an “ ugly fix,” and he enjoys Mr. Bull’s embarrassment, and does not mean to help him out of it. That is the whole of the Alabama question on this side. Nobody here expects a war with England, not only that, nobody here wants a war with England; but one thing is sand has read it. It was delivered in secret session of the very certain,—if England gets into a war with auother country Senate; it was not printed until after its object—the rejec¬ before ste settles the question, not all the proclamations tion of the treaty—was accomplished ; it was very long, and which the President could issue, nor all the navy to back our people do not read them, could prevent the fitting out here of privateers, to long speeches.

On no bills taken under the Bank minimum of Thursday the directors advanced their the minimum of not were per very 4 per rates of discount to cent, and the Bank return shows that they only fully justified in pursuing such a course, but that an advance to 6 per cent would have been a more prudent course to adopt. The reserve of the Bank is now only £6,604,995, against £11,948,10*7 last year, while the stock of bullion has been reduced from £20,402,992 to £16,682,068. This state of things has caused an uneasy feeling to prevail, and as the altered position of affairs is due to the heavy speculation in foreign securities, there has been quite a panic and also a very heavy fall in prices in the Stock Exchange. In addition, however, to the recent foreign loans and to the demand for f ive Twenties, there ha3 been undoubtedly an improvement in the state of business during the last few months. The readiness with which Five-Twenty bonds have been taken on this side has enabled the Americans to make more extensive purchases of us, and the heme trade has also been facilitated and increased by the more abunlant wheat crop and by the cheapness of bread. The clearicg-house returns of the 4th of the month for the current year show a total clearing of £70,177,000, against £63,253,000 in the same period last year, being an increase of nearly £7,000,000. During the twelve months ending with Wednesday last, the total passing through the clearing house was as much as £3,534,039,000, against £3,257/ 00,000 in the previous twelve months, showing an increase of about £270,0.0,000. The clearances of the 4th were £161,861,000, against £147,113,000 ; and on the 24th, Stock Exchange settling day9, they were £550,622,(00, against £444,430,r00.

Although much inactivity still prevails, the markets for cereal produe are attracting more attention, and, so far as wheat is concerned prices have had an upward tendency. ,.At Liverpool, this week, wheat has realized an improvement in value of 2d. to 3d. per cental ; and in other parts of the country a slight advance has nlso taken place. I mentioned in my last letter that our imports in April were about 1,206,000 cwt. less than they were in the corresponding month last year ; that . the present crop of English wheat has been about ten months uuder consumption ; and that three months have yet to elapse before, in the ordinary course of things we can expect aDy consiJetable supp ies of new home-grown produce at market. The early period at which the last crop was gathered in was a manifest advantage to us at the time. Our supplies of home grown wheat at the close of June last year vas not only small, but they were also cf very poor quality, and, consequently the harvesting of the wheat crop a month earlier than usual was a month’s gain to us. Prices declined much earlier than was expe ted, and the necessity was avoided of purchasing considerable supplies of foreign produce at a high price. Now, however, we are begin¬ ning to feel the effects of la t year’s early harvest. The supply of wheat in the hands of the farmers has naturally been very largely diminish¬ ed, while the uninterrupted fall in prices since last July has checked a free importation of produce from alroad. The diminution, however, [May 22, 1869.

That or ley, cats, beans, the peas, trade, to which allusion was made last week more than one firm is in an importation of feeding stuffs, such as grinding bar and Indian corn, there has latterly been loss is evident. But it must be borne in mind that the Greeks, a heavy on whom much of the loss will fall, have of late years made large sums of money operations in cereal produce, and that if they have deceivec themselves with regard to the price of Spring corn, and have been losers by the error they have committed, they are fully capable of, meeting all the engagements they have entered into. Very probably the importers have been unprepared for so large an importation, and it is also likely that they omitted from their calculations the fact that the diminished supply of stock and the mildness of the Winter had both very consideiably reduced the requirements of the farmers and graziers for feeding stuffs. The drought of last Summer necessitated the de itruction of a large quantity of stock, or what may be considered as equivalent, it compelled the farmers and grazers to forward much oi their stock to market long before it was fully matured. Many animals were sent to market in July, which, in the ordinary course of affairs would not have been ready before December, January, or February and, consequently, the requirements of the grazier for feeding stuffs were much reduced. This is now telling seriously upon the trade for butchers’ meat, all descriptions being at a very high price. Throughout the Winter there was also a good supply of grass in the pastures, and this again caused less demand for foreign food. The following return shows the prices of cereal produce at three peri odsin the current season, viz : when new produce commenced to arrive freely at market, when Spring corn was at its highest point, and, lastly, during the present week. The downward movement in wheat has been uninterrupted, and it is believed that, as it was fully enticipated, no losses have been incurred, so much caution having been exercised throughout the season. Barley and oats, however, advanced to a high point by the commencement of November, but from that period a semewhat rapid downward movement set in, and the result has been that prices have declined (as in the case of foreign feeding barley) as much as 13t». per quarter, or about 30 per cent.

There bas, however, been a fair amount of buying on the part of the United States ; but, with few exceptions, the greatest caution has been observed, and but few purchases have been made in excess of actual requirements. Cotton is lower in price,owing to the augmented shipments from American an I Indian ports ; but it is stated that the shipments during May and June will be very small. The trade demand is very quiet, and at Manchester, although there has been no pressure to sell, buyers have refrained from operating largely, except at some concession in prices on the part of producers.

These cars make quick trips, and work satisfactorily. The change from the New England narrow gauge to the Grand Trunk broad gauge is made at Montreal, with another change at Port Huron, Michiga n, from the Grand Trunk, or broad gauge, to the four feet eight and a half inch gauge, which is the general gauge of the Western States. The cars are built and owned by an incorporated company, and are rented to the different railroads forming the through line, at a fixed rate per car, per mile ; it thus becomes the interest of the Car Company to 6ee that their cars are kept moving, and hence the freight with which they are laden must have dispatch. The pereonal atten¬ tion and vigilance of the directors will secure for general Height the quick dispatch heretofore attained by express companies from the close supervision outside of the railroad management.” Railroads of the United States.—We have received to-day [a copy of the “Manual of the Railroads of the United States 1869—^0,* by Henry V. Poor, Esq, The publication of this Manual of Railroads was first commenced in 1868 in a handsome volume of about 450 pages, giving the best and most complete information in regard to all the rail¬ roads of the country that had ever been published. The present vol¬ ume for 1869-70 is nearly double the size of its predecessor, and is more perfect in all respects. It is beyond comparison the best, and indeed the only valuable, publication containing information as to the railroads of this country that is to be had. An account of every steam road in the United States is given in this “ Manual,” and also of all the horse-railroad of the principal cities and towns. 8.—Fractional currency Treasurer and distributed , “ “ “ “ “ «■ “ “ “ “ “ • New Advertisements.—Attention is called to the card of Messrs.

DIVIDENDS. The following Dividend has been declared during the past week : NAME OP COMPANY. PER WHEN CENT. pay’ble WHERE PAYABLE BOOKS CLOSED, Friday, May 21, 1869, P. M. Market.—Money has exhibited a slight hardening tendency during the week. 'The receipts of currency from the iuterior appear to have partially declined ; and money has flowed moie freely into the Treasury, under the liberal payments on account of income tax ; while some shipments of currency have been made to Boston. The advance in gokj, stocks and bonds ha3 also increased the amount required on brokers’ loans. Under ihesi influences there has be n quite an active demand for money for ths last three days, although there has been no difficulty in borrowing on stocks and bonds at 7 per cent. Discounts have partially sympathised with the activity in call' loans, but the rate for prime paper is still generally 7@8 per cent with exceptions nt 9 per cent. .The advance in gold has been attended with the failure of the foreigu banking house of Schepeler & Co., which involve! the suspension of two or three minor firms. There has also been a suspension of a house in the Brazil trade, from the same cause; and other - commercial houses have been reported as in difficulties from their connection with speculations in gold. It has now become so common for houses in the foreign trade to take heavy lisks in gold, in connection with their business, that in times of wide fluctuations in gold there is an unusually close The Money scrutiny into the speculative position of such firms; tand this has been a prominent feature in the discounting of paper within the last few d ys, the caution having been encouraged by the failures alluded to The following arc the quotations for loans of various classes : Per cent.

This steady foreign demand has taken off all the bonds attracted into the market by the advance in prices and has kept the stock in dealers’ hands light, compelling them to buy at each advance, almost against their convictions as to the safety of iheir purchases. The price of gold having advanced 5@7£ points, while prices abroad remained compara tively steady, a further rise in bonds here has been necessitated to equalise quotations in the home and foreign markets. Under these influences Sixty-Twos have so'd up to 123J and Sixty-Sevens to 120J; kbut, at the close, quotations were a fi action below these created by the action of the Bank of England. figures. purchase of $1,000,000 Five-Twenties by the Government naturally helped the upward tendency of prices. The proposals of the Secretary required the offers to Le made upon the principal only, the accrued interest being paid to the sellers by the Treasury, in gold. The Government purchases included $704,000 coupon Sixty-Sevens at 116.88, $150,000 reg.

These prices are exclusive of interest, and were somewhat below the average quota¬ The tions of the day. Some interest is felt.in the question as to whether the Secretary will equalise his purclia es of bonds with his increased sales of gold ; no reliable information on the matter, how¬ ever, is attainable; although it is vaguely rumored that he will come into the market as a purchaser of the 3 per cent Certificates.

Prices have been without change, though much of weak on the low grades, hut very linn on the time rather the high grades. Saturday the offerings were fair but not pressed, the tone of the market being less buoyant, without, however, any change in quotations either here or at Liverpool. Monday, with the upward movement in gold, prices hardened a little, especially for the better grades, but the market was quiet. On Tuesday there was no market at Liverpool, and very little doing here, and the close was heavy and dull. Wednesday gold rose to 144, closing at 143|, which left a margin for the execution of some shipping orders, and led to considerable activity, although the Liverpool market closed flat at H*@lHd. for middling uplands. Thursday, Liverpool returned to its old quotation of 11 Jd. for middling uplands, and with gold steady, the market became quite active, and the offerings at the close very limited, the sales reaching 5,883 bales. But to-day gold has declined to 141J, under the announcement of further sales by the Treasury, and consequently cotton is dull, with the foreign advices unfavorable, the closing quotations at Liverpool being ll$d. for middling uplands. For future delivery the sales only reach 300 bales, of which 100 were for July, at 27ic.; 100 for June, at 27Jc.; and 100 on private terms. The total sales for immediate delivery this week foot up 17,308 bales (including 944 bales to arrive), of which 5,913 bales were taken by spinners; 1,155 bales on specula¬ tion; 8,350 bales for export; 1,884 bales in transit, and the following are the closing quotations: Upland & New Florida.

We do not include our telegrams to-night, ag with the will permit. Receipts.—The receipts at the ports this week are again in excess generally anticipated for this period, and yet the month began with the interior stocks so much larger than last year, and they are being so rapidly diminished that the receipts are easily accounted for. Stocks at the inland ports are now reduced to about 24,000 bales, against 5S,000 hales on the 1st of May, and 14,000 hales at this tine last year. With this reduction, it b probable that next week’s receipts will be considerably lees than the total we give to-night for the past seven days, and that after that a marked falling off may be looked for. There seems to be a general impression here that more cotton remains in planters’ hands now than at this time last season. Be this as it may, there is little reason for supposing that it will be hurried to market as long as the present uncertainties hang about the growing of the amount crop. -May 22, 1869.] THE CHRONICLE The exports of cotton this week from New York show a small decrease, the total reaching 7,465 bales, against 8,962 bales last week.

Yesterday and to-day, with the decline in gold, matters begin to assume a more encouraging look, and a better general trade is expected. Coffee lias been inactive and during the latter portion of the week entirely unmoved.

N.O. COFFEE. The week has been of almost entire quiet in Coffee. The advance in gold has put the prices, which are paid in gold, beyond the reach of jobbers, and the sales have been much restricted. Prices have been nominally unchanged, but in the absence of any actual transac¬ tions, hardly afford any criterion of actual values. The telegram from Rio, received early in ihe week, intimates that future shipments to this market will probably be light, but the news produced no effect here. At the close, with the downward turn in gold, dealers see some signs of a better trade. Sales include 3,446 bags of Rio and 895 do one of Java. Imports of coffee for the week have been small, including 4,614 bags Rio, per 44 Emma Sophia,” 3,622 do per “Wayfarer,” 300 do per “Roseland,” 4,600 do per “Rate,” and 168 do per “Canada.” Of other sorts the receipts include 2,663 bags of Maracaibo per “Lark,” 688 bags of Laguayra per “Ir s,” 2,017 do per “Thos.

On Tuesday Messrs.‘Wilmerdings Mount held a sale of dress goods, silks and linen goods, which attracted considerable attention, especially the black sdks, of which there were some full lines and fine qualities. goods mainly were slow; but a few lots if seasonable fabrics were readily taken, though at pretty low rates. On Wednesday Messrs. Townsend, MontaDt & Co. had a sale of some 200 lots, mostly Bilk goods. T he plain and fancy colored Poult de Sole brought rather low pi ices, but the lots were mainly balances of impor ¬ tations, and owners seemed disposed to close out the goods.
