Failing this, however, the Secretary of the Treasury intends, as is semi-officially announced, to adopt a method for sending home for redemption by the issuing banks the rapid¬ ly growing accumulations of their surplus outstanding notes. Some such measures seem to be required in the present emergency to convince these institutions that, as was well said by Mr. McCulloch in his last report, “ these notes are not money, but promises to pay it on demand.” Those among us, therefore, who are looking for higher prices for all kinds of commodities as a result of the possible changes in the price of gold, will do well to bear in mind that gold at present is in an exceptional position, and its force is governed by the foreign exchanges and by forces some 648 645 • THE RAILWAY and 646 GAZETTE AND COMMERCIAL TIMES.

Bank notes will Consequently, raising, and all goods with the excep¬ tion of foreign products, the price of which, to a considerable extent, may respond to the price of gold, cannot reasonably be expected to rise, and may even recede. It is not, indeed, impossible that under the influence of a wild speculative mania, some advance may be realized; but if so, there will be no small danger of a sudden rebound, which may bring danger to the heedless speculators when they least expect it. In view of the present political troubles in Europe, and of the consequent prospective changes in the money markets of our great cities, all business men will do well to be more than usually careful! Those who are trading on borrowed capital, and are venturing beyond their assured means, should lose no time in taking in sail. Especially let it be remem¬ bered, that under the government of inconvertible paper money, it is the state of the currency and not the fluctuating price of gold that regulates general prices. outside of the state of our paper currency. commodities of home opinions of our most shrewd and sagacious financial are to be regarded, we are on the eve of monetary changes of the highest possible importance. It is not at all improbable that gold, relieved as it is from the depressing influence of the Treasury sales, may alternately rise above or fall below its present price. Now the mischievous notion prevails that, as gold rises, the prices of every thing else THE MONEY CRISIS AT HOME AND ABROAD. ought to rise too. And speculators are even now busied The past week has given another proof of the vast with innumerable projects and ventures suggested by this theory, and consequently based on a most treacherous founda¬ strength of our financial position, and of the firm basis of national prosperity by which our monetary system is under¬ tion.

Even at the Stock Exchange the ever sensitive quotations of Govern no ment and other securities have been sustained better than might have been expected. It is not, indeed, improbable that but for one perturbing cause, we should scarcely have felt the shock at all, except in cotton, and in a few securities which are largely held in Engl^id. The circumstance to which we refer as having chiefly caused the recent perturbation in the money market, is the sale by the Government of thirty mil¬ lions of gold in the short space @f ten days. Some of our readers may be at a loss to understand how these sales of gold should produce such derangement. We will try to explain. It is well known that under the Sub-Treasury law of 1842 the government requires all payments to be made to it in gold or in other legal tender money. Consequently, the sale of thirty millions of gold would draw into the vaults of the Treasury forty millions of currency, and would ab¬ sorb this sum suddenly. But the ordinary business of the country is done by a much more economical use of currency. Look, for example, at the Clearing-House settlements of any given day, and you will find that eighty or ninety millions of debt are paid oflf by the use of only two or three millions cf currency. Thus it appears that as much currency is needful for the transactions attending the sale of thirty millions of gold as would suffice to consummate a vastly greater amount of the ordinary business transactions of the country. Moreover, the currency used by the people in their business does not leave the current of the circulation. It is used and [May 26,1866. till the critical hour It is then, we repeat, a grati¬ fying and suggestive illustration of the strength of our finan¬ cial position that so little mischief was done, although the news of the panic in all the European money markets came upon us at the delicate conjuncture which we have been describing, when our money market was so disturbed and deranged from forces originating within itself. was past. It is also to be taken into the account that to render the payments more easy the department ordered that in paying for purchases of gold, certificates of indebtedness, compound and certificates of deposit should be received at par notes and interest. But there other which exemption from, panic is in part to be ascribed. Eirst, it is evident that if the expected war breaks out in Europe, that continent will grow less food than usual. An immense impulse will thus be given to our raising of breadstuff's and other agricultural and industrial products. The resulting activity in business will benefit our railroad and shipping interests, will impart a higher value to property invested in such enterprises, and will be. productive of other important financial advantages. These are are some of the causes to reasons on our account of which the Euro¬ The scene of effects of the struggle would work for our interest, we are so completely isolated from all connection with the belligerents that there is not the slightest danger of our being drawn into the pean war fails to awaken much alarm here. the conflict is too far off, and while some of the vortex. Moreover, the fact that our monetary system does not rest on a specie basis is another cause of its stability under If the basis of our currency were liable the recent shock. to be suddenly contracted and disturbed with every sudden demand for coin for exportation, the recent shipments would have Spread, throughout the length and breadth of this con¬ tinent, as much terror as was caused by the most memor-. able panics our people have ever known. Here we have one of those compensatory provisions which continually meet us at almost every view we take of any department of hu¬ man enterprise and achievement. A paper currency not redeemable in coin is a curse to any country where it pre vails; but, as we have just seen, the curse is not without its blessing. Our paper money is unsettled and unstable in its value; that is its evil: but our paper money system is not liable to derangement from foreign demand for specie; that is its compensating good. Much has been said about this aspect of our return to specie payments, and some persons are asking with much anxiety whether when we do get back to a coin basis our financial system will be liable to be at any moment shaken by the exportation of coin as was invariably the case in for¬ mer times. Two remedies have been proposed. One is that we should pay all our debts to foreigners and not go in again and continues actively to pass from hand to hand. But in the case of money paid into the Treasury it is far otherwise. This currency is locked up in the vaults of the government, and depletes for a time the current of the circulating medium of the community. If the depletion be great a stringency in the loan market super¬ venes till equilibrium is restored. It is easy, therefore, to see that comparatively small government transactions in gold, involving the sudden payment of greenbacks into the Treasury, may by .making currency scarce, paralyze the movements of capital, stir up great temporary derangement in the money market, and engender wide-spread mischiefs in those departments of industrial enterprise whose success de_ pends on the easy and equable operation of our financial machinery. When we remember that during three days of this week no less than fifteen millions of gold had to be paid tor by purchasers from the government broker, it will not appear surprising that we have had a pinch in the money market. debt any more.

Notwith¬ standing the advance in gold, we are probably nearer to a return to specie payments than is in some quarters supposed. At any rate, the currency remaining at about the same volume, the rise in gold drives us no farther from that con¬ summation than we were when gold was at 125. At least this must be so if, as seems to be established, the chief im¬ pediments to our resumption of specie payments and a sound convertible currency are not in the selling price of gold, put up or down by speculation ; but in the real price of gold as regulated by the comparative adequacy or redundancy of our our currency, paper money.

And those whom it deeply concerns to form a sound judgment as to the probable drift of things abroad, will do well to consider whether the recent speech of Napoleon III. at Auxerre, may not have been made quite as much in the interest of peace as in the interest of war. The substantial points of that speech were its skillful ap¬ peals to the patriotism of the French people, against the political fencing of the opposition in the French Legislature; and its plain avowal,to all Europe of the Emperor’s determi¬ nation to do all that may in him lie towards the com¬ plete obliteration of the “ detestable ” treaties of 1815.

Most significant of all, the Emperor of the French, after a studied silence of months on the “ European situation,” has spoken out, after his own mystical and portentous fashion, and at last, declares his “ detestation” of the “ treaties of 1815,” and by single phrase terrifies the enterprise and industry of France, if M.

It is not oracular utterance at Auxerre should be the promulgation of treaty between Austria and Italy for the cession of Venetia ?

STATISTICAL INFORMATION—ITS USES AND IMPORTANCE. The collecting of statistics in relation to the populationand resources, the expenditures and available forces of a ■country, is essential to the successful management of its af¬ fairs. No sagacious statesman will enter upon the adminis¬ tration of government except he shall have informed himself those subjects which are so vital to the national exist¬ Such knowledge is indispensable to his success as well .as to the prosperity of the State. Hence all civilized coun¬ tries provide for stated enumerations of the inhabitants, re¬ turns of property, statistics of production and income, and upon ence. such other facts as pertain to the science of government. these collections of facts are to be found the sure In tests for the various theories of political science in relation to the production of wealth, its distribution and consumption, the protective policy, etc., so generally the veriest webs of en¬ no regulating number and matter of chance as to time death is apparently a and even the acquisi¬ sex; or cause ; tion of wealth has little evident relation to the industry, skill employed. Yet these facts when properly ar¬ ranged reveal conditions of the greatest importance. They show the existence of definite laws regulating the whole matter, which cannot be wisely or safely disregarded. Thus, much that would otherwise appear arbitrary in legislation is proven to be proper and necessary. Whenever food and the other necessaries of life have an inordinate price, out of due proportion to the compensation of labor, there will be an un¬ due number of unmarried persons of adult age ; and that cir¬ cumstance is always sure to be accompanied by a deteriora¬ tion in morals, involving the greatest peril to society. An extraordinary mortality of children, demonstrates the exist¬ ence of a state of things, socially and otherwise, of extreme peril to the community, threatening utter extinction. A large number of widows and orphan children is a sure indication of war or pestilence, and demands the early attention of the statesman.

The debt contracted during struction, people of Alabama have never public credit to be tarnished by even the shadow of re¬ pudiation ; and as to ways and means the State is amply wealthy to bear such a debt as that which we are now considering. Alabama, in¬ deed, is one of the most productive cotton States of the Union, being second only to Mississippi, and in 1860 yielded one-fifth part of the aggregate crop. The State has also great wealth in its live stock, and produces largely in a variety of ways, including manufactures. Its lands are fertile and high priced. These considerations presuppose great .taxable ability, and form the best basis for public credit. The assessed valuation of property in the State increased in the ten years ending June 1, 1860, no less than 117 per cent, having been in 1850 $228,204,332, and in 1860 $495,237,078. The State debt, including the interest now past due and to accrue to January 1, 1867, will not exceed much the sum of $4,000,000, requiring about $210,000 for annual interest— not more than half of one per 1,000 of the assessed valuation of the property liable to taxation. It must also be borne in mind that Ala¬ bama is a progressive State, and that every year will further divide the burden, and give increased ability to the people to bear taxation. Seven hundred and fifty thousand (750,000) dollars a year will not only cover the whole of the State expenditures, including interest, but also afford a handsome sum towards the final liquidation and extinc¬ tion of the principal of the States indebtedness. The State will also have to provide for the payment of its propor¬ tion of the United States direct tax of $20,000,000 under the law of Aug., 1861, which amounted to $529,313 33. If this sum be raised on bonds, the debt will be increased in a corresponding amount State to meet these demands. suffered their $2,107,099 61 annual appropriation, the principal sums Aggregate amount Which interest is do [May 26,1866/ THE CHRONICLE. 646 New York Family at Heatherdale,” Robert Carter & Brothers, 1866. : John Wycliffe, as our readers know, lived in the fourteenth cen¬ $673,500 00 2,085,000 00 tury. • Among his friends wasJohn of Gauut, Duke of Lancaster, 4,042,680 00 the son of the Third Edward, and father of Henry IV.

It has necessarily been the signal for a great re¬ vulsion in the Stock Exchange, and even the best securities, with the exception of consols, have suffered a heavy fall. Yesterday, it was al¬ most impossible to give quotations for financial companies’ shares, so great was in many instances the pressure to sell, while on the other hand, there was no buy. The official lists pub¬ by the Stock Exchange authorities showed that scarcely any operations had taken place in any department, and that an important fall in prices had in most cases been the consequence.

The Bank published on Thursday, shows that the Directors were justi¬ fied in the movement they made, for although there is a decrease in the circulation of notes, and a slight increase in the reserve, the supply of bullion has fallen to the extent of about £400,000. Yesterday a furlhey advance was made to nine per cent, aud, to-day, the Directors have further thought it advisable to raise the quotation to ten per cent. The Bank rate has therefore been three times advanced during the week, to the extent in each instance of one per cent.1 At Paris, however, and it circumstance, the rate has only been raised one-half, or to four per cent, so that at the present momeut, the Bank rate here is six per cent in advance of that at Paris.

Over $20,000,000 of these dates are outstanding ; and important relief to the money market may be expected from their redemption. The Treasury is receiv¬ ing daily a small amount of compound notes for redemption. The savings institutions are presenting these securities at the SubTreasury for payment. The banks have presented a moderate amount of Clearing-House certificates, in payment of their checks drawn on account of gold bought from the Sub Treasury. We understand that the Treasury has it in contemplation to liquidate the whole of the Clearing-House certificates at an early day. „ Friday, May 25,1866, P. M.

May 26, 1866J THE CHRONICLE. Railroad and Miscellaneous Securities.—The Stock Market reacted severely under the pressure in the Money Market early in the week, prices falling 3 to 8 per cent • but subsequently, on loans being found more easily procurable, than was anticipated, the mar¬ ket took a strong upward turn ; and to-day the railroad list closes a fraction above the quotations of last Friday, while the miscella¬ neous list is 1@2$ per cent lower. The condition of affairs drew out a large “ short” interest, which has since facilitated the reco¬ very of prices* The market is now more largely oversold than be¬ fore the change in affairs. The prospect of war in Europe gives strength to speculation in railroad stocks, it being supposed that hostilities would produce an enlarged demand for Western produce. Erie has been severely depressed under the lower quotations at Lon¬ don, and the expectation of the return of stock from abroad.

The premium immediately rose to 134£ ; on Wednesday to 138£; yesterday to 139$, and to-day to 141$, closing at 1391 @ 139-$. This rapid advance produced a very large “ short” interest, chiefly on three days’ options, which, to-day, has been the chief element of strength in the market. The “ short” heavily, and many of the smaller operators sellers have lost very have failed upon their contracts. The exports continue upon a very about four fold extraordinary scale, exceeding anything previous within an equal period. Steam¬ sailing from this port last Saturday took out $5,280,000. On Wednesday $1,937,000 was taken by the Boston steamer, and on the same. day $3,234,000 from this port. The shipment to-morrow is likely to reach $6,000,000.

Corree’ding 265,656 17,402 348,584 657,500 41,610 14.000 Liverpool, May 12th.—The imminence of war on the Continent has at length begun to affect this market, and the reduced deliveries of Wheat from the Farmers (63,791 qre. against 84,806 qrs. for the corresponding week last year), are probaolv in great measure in consequence thereof. The improvement in prices has, however, been greatly checked by the severe financial panic now raging, w’hich, of necessity restricts speculation within very moderate limits. At Tuesday’s Market there was a good attendance of buyers, and an active consumptive demand for Wheat at an improvement of 2d. to 3d. per cental. Flour, from its relative cheapness, attracted more attention, and some con¬ siderable transactions took place (partly speculative) at an improvement of Cd. to Is. per sack. Indian Corn was in good request, and the market wras soon cleared of all Mixed Corn offering at 29s. 6d., and at the close 29s. 9d. to 30s. was demanded. Since Tuesday, the improved tone in the market has been fully maintained, and a fair amount of business has been passing at rather over the prices of that day. Indian Corn has further advanced 3d. to 6d. per qr.—30s. 3d. having been paid for Mixed. Further purchases of Winter Wheat and some French Flour are reported for shipment to New York. To-day’s Market opened strong, holders of Wheat and Flour asking a con¬ siderable advance, hut rumors of further serious disasters in London, and great apprehensions about the immediate future, restricted business to a moderate consumptive demand at the full prices of Tuesday. Indian Corn was sold to a moderate extant at 30s. to 30. 3d. per qr. for Mixed. THE 1)RY GOODS TRADE. Friday, P. M., May 26, 1866. The Dry Goods Market has been decidedly firmer and more active during the entire week, and today prices have advanced 10(0)15 per cent., closing firm and excited. Large quantities of goods have changed hands in anticipation of higher prices, and the stocks of many makes, in agents* hands, are very much reduced, The season is so late, however, that there seems no probability of a greater advance than the relative higher price of cotton demands. The market is very strong, and feels nothing of the panic abroad as yet Jobbers are not, however, doing a proportionately large business, although there is a much greater inquiry for goods, and generally prices are ten to fifteen per cent higher; the price of most goods was below the cost of manufacture, and with an active demand must advance. There is some fear that the present excitement may be taken for a return of better trade, and that prices will be advanced so rapidly as to check the de-t mand, and ultimately cause a decline, perhaps greater than any yet reached. With an excited aud advancing market prices are entirely nominal. Foreign Goods have not sympathised {in the firmer feeling to any considerable extent, it being thought that goods can now be imported at still lower figures, from the panic prevailing. The market is gene¬ rally very quiet. Some choice styles of fancy dress goods are in demand, while prints and bleached cottons are still lower. Brown Sheetings and Shirtings have been active, and advancing sold out by the agents, and in some instances sold ahead. Jobbers do not report so active a market, most of the goods being bought to replace stocks, and by speculators in anticipation of a material advance. Standard sheetings are held at 24 cents by agents, three cent higher than last week, and very firm. This is the price of Indian Head A, Appleton A, Stark A, Nashua X X, and Lawrence C.

The demand for goods for shipment to America and other quarters having recently fallen off, and the stock of cotton here, together with the supply afloat, being large, the demand both for yams and goods ruled heary in the extreme at lower prices, even during the early part of tne week. Later the increased fear of war on the Continent, and the panic in the money market have seemed to unsettle values, and to-day business has been completely suspended, sellers not even attempting to find buyers, until late in the day, when a few purchases have been made, a somewhat better feeling having arisen on the announcement of the sus¬ pension of the Bank Charter Act. The announcement of the tailure of a con¬ cern like Overend, Gurney & Co., although it scarcely enjoyed the reputation which it once possessed, fell like a thunder clap on the community, and is suffi¬ cient for a time to paralyze commerce and dry up the very sources of credit. It is impossible to give quotations at present. The average decline in mule and water twist, whether in cop, warp, or bundle, appears to be somewhere about Id per lb. since Friday, but such quotations must be received with caution, be¬ ing more the result or guess-work than or positive experience. Doubled from 100’s downwards, may be considered as unsaleable, and, although varns, the de¬ cline in value is undoubtedly greater than iu singles, no means of ascertaining what prices really are can be said to exist, and tne nominal quotations cannot be relied on. The finer counts of single and two-fold yarns being still well en¬ gaged, are not so depressed as the lower numbers; but here, too, business is stopped, and prices tend downwards. The state of the cloth market is not more encouraging to manufacturers. Those of their number who last week accepted orders at prices anticipatory of what has since occurred, are not pressing sellers, but in most cases the reverse holds true, and any appearance of an ordt r brines out many eager competitors. The public sales 01 Colonial wool have '•ommenced heavily. The arrivals amount to 166,000 bales, and prices have fallen Id to 2d per lb.

When the property is sold, or the assured desires to abondon the insurance, he applies to the and receives back $118 75 of the $125. If the Company elects to cancel he receives ms whole bargain is at an The advantages of this method of insuring, in the case of dwellings, where permanent security is especially desirable, rendering unnecessary the constant watchfulness now required, in order to prevent a policy from lapsing, at an unlucky moment, cannot fail to be perceived and appreciated here, even than elsewhere. The immense amount of dwelling property in this city, forming, bulk of great estates, must find this system especially valuable for its permanency and - more many cases, safety. the • . * It keeps alive without watching. Insurance by this method is obviously cheaper as well as more secure. Thus,$5,000 costs,say $1250 per annum, on a first class dwelling; while on,$125 (the amount to be deposited) the interest at seven per cent, is but $875, If the risk runs in this way ten years, the Company gets $8 75 per annum for insuring $5,000, and at the end $6 25 more, being five per cent, retained when the deposit is reclaimed—making the average annual premium $9 37. We have no doubt that as fast as this simple and convenient system becomes understood, it will so commend itself to all insurers of dwellings that few will think of protecting them on any other plan. fully Full explanations of the working of this plan, under every variety of circumstances, will be famished application to the Company. on DIRECTORS *35 : JAMES LORIMER GRAHAM, ROBERT M.
