the government can only
be made by three millions of cur¬

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

We must not omit to call attention in this

point of view to
Dyck’s admirable arrangements for the recent s ales
of gold and purchase of bonds. 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 purchase of bonds is [certainly calculated to secure sary that ho should guard himself against any heavy or sud¬
both these objects. The spectacle of a country reducing one den demand upon his resources. Desirable as the Certificates
per cent annually of its Debt is something so uncommon in may be to the banks, as a reserve, yet in periods of severe
the financial history of nations, as to have a very direct ten¬ monetary pressure they are apt to present them for redemp¬
dency to enhance its credit. The taking in of bonds saves to tion in large amounts. During October last $7,000,000
the Government a high rate of interest for a succession of were tendered for redemption, and in December $2,725,000;
years; which, as an economy of expenses, also redounds to and with a currency balance in the Treasury ranging, as of
the public credit. 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

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,

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. Siuce Thursday money has been very tiglff
and it is fully expected that the Bank minimum will be
shortly raised
to 5 per cent.
In the open market the charges for (he best descrip¬
tions of short-dated paper is 4£, and, cons:
quenlly, the pressure upon
the Bank is
very strong. A heavy fall having taken place in the
value of foreign securities, the banks are

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.

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.

Business

during the present week in the manufacturing districts has
extremely quiet. 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.

Adjustable Gauge Freight Cars.—A correspondent of the Boston
Ccmmercial Bulletin speaks as follows of the changeable gauge cars
wh\ch now ruu from Chicago to Portland :
I have made sonde inquiry regarding this new Northern through
lint» but found my neighbor merchants were not much better informed
as to the working of the line than I was myself, which led me to visit
the Lowell Railroad depot, where I saw several of the cars of the line
loading with furniture, shoes, and other merchandise, for different points
in the West.
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.

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

Bonds, indeed, have
gone to Europe by almost every mail since the advance in the Bank rate*
the shipments last week being estimated at $3,000,000, and for this
week probably over $4,000;000. 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

Hops are steady, especially for the finer sorts. The produc¬

The market the

past week was very quiet early in the
week, but later became more active, until to-day, with the
decided fall in gold, it returned to its dull quiet state. 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

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

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. Dallett,” and 324 bags of

On the other hand, there has

a new season—-about the middle of June or first of

Foreign Dress Goods have grown more scarce, especially in desir¬
able fabricp, and full prices are
readily obtained, with an occasional ad¬
vance for choice
stylep. The sales at auction have, with one or two

exceptions, offered little attractions, being mainly made up of broken
importations; prices even for the better styles rul¬

lot8 and balances of

ing rather low.
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. The black
silks not selling up to their ideas, were largely withdrawn.
