market, are faithfully and fully recorded, and it is not our
present purpose to refer to them in further detail. ' We choose
rather to point out such of the phenomena of this violent
financial gale, as may serve to forecast the future. And in
the first place it is evident from the sudden
way in which gold
fell when the Government sale of four millions of
gold for
to-day was announced, that the theory is quite correct
which ascribes the late rise in the gold premium to specula¬

might not have been sustained. But the violent spasms of
Thursday and Friday had no connection with such healthful
oscillations of the natural forces which act on the gold pre¬
mium. These eccentric movements are the product, as every¬
body knows, of causes purely artificial, and offer no indication
whatever that our monetary machinery is in a critical condi¬
tion, or that there is any real foundation for the fears of a
revulsion, which some of the croakers have been of late indulg¬
ing. If we were so disposed we might even go further and
maintain that the facts rather illustrate the soundness
and
strength of our financial position, for it is not a little gratify¬
ing that there have been but few failures of importance in Wall
street notwithstanding the heavy losses which certain parties
must have sustained.
TLe
important questions, however, for our present
refer to the condition of the money market. The
most
purpose
high rates which have been paid for carrying
railroad shares of late have tended to
gold and
give an uncertain and
to the loan market, and have prevented our
commercial bouses from obtaining at bank the accommoda¬
tion which they have been used to on easy terms. Besides
this the scarcity of small notes and the growing demand for
feverish aspect
cunency
for shipment to the interior, have
tended to embar¬
the money market and to produce anxiety among our
banks. Moreover, the cliques hold large sums of money on
rass
deposit at some of the banks, and by shifting their deposits
from one place of deposit to another, they have been enabled
to derange the banking machinery, and thus to produce
perturbation in the monetary circles. If to these causes of
trouble we add the depletion of loanable funds by the conver¬
sion of floating capital into fixed forms, we shall see abundant
reason to congratulate ourselves that the receut effects of the
artificial spasms and speculative manipulations have not been
much
more severe.
regard to the future, the prospect, as we show in, a
subsequent article, is also satisfactory. The new currency will
be ready for issue next week, and, if Mr. Boutwell is hard
pressed by the presentation of the bank clearing house certifi¬
cates, he has his lawful reserve to fall back upon, although it
will not, in all probability, be needful for him to use it. Sec¬
ondly, the interior demand for currency will probably be less
extensive than usual, as both the South and the West are
richer and better able to move their crops than formerly with¬
out depending on long and large supplies of currency from the
metropolitan centres. Indeed the swift railroad transpoitation, and the free use of the telegraph, have tended, with other
causes, to economise materially the use for currency in mov¬
ing our products to the sea-board. With these facts before
us, it is impossible not to see that, if artificial means be not

We may also calculate
upon the specie portion of the
lawful money reserve of the banks
being well sustained. The
Secretary of the Treasury has offered to pay the November
coupons on presentation; which will tend to bring a certain
amount of gold
upon the market. The condition of the for¬
eign exchanges is such as to invite the importation of specie
from Europe, some considerable
shipments having been
already made at London for this port; while foreign bankers
show a disposition to
export bonds, pending the present
depression of the New York market below those of London
and Frankfort, which still further tends to
promote the ship¬
ment of gold to this
side; and in November a steady stream
of coin will flow out of the
Treasury in payment of the inter¬

coupons as may not

lawful money. Our
cotton, too, is coming in very rapidly at
the ports, and the low condition of the
stock in Europe will
make it
necessary that the exports be early and upon a large
scale. So also the
shipments to foreign ports of breadstuff's,
before the close of
navigation, appear likely to run much
beyond the average. These facts lend increased confidence
to the expectation held
by many that, before the close of the
year, the foreign exchanges may favor a free
shipment of
specie to this country. Upon the whole, then, there seems
to be a reasonable
probability that, while the legal tenders in
the banks may not be drained to a
dangerously low point,
the specie
portion of the reserve may stand higher than
usual, and this consideration obviously favors a
steady bank¬
ing movement.

unusually, moderate. Then, too, the
aggregate value of stocks being carried upon the
market, has
been reduced
by many millions, through the decline in prices
within the last few
days, so far diminishing the amount of
loans required
upon stock collaterals. Furthermore, the im¬
mense exportation of bonds
and stocks, within the last 12
months, and the purchase of nearly 50 millions of five-twenties
by the Government, since last March, must have more or less

plant and the great natural fertility of the cotton
belt, that
these lands were not
completely exhausted long ago. For¬
tunate^, however, the cotton fibre, which should alone be
removed from the
plantation on which it grows, absorbs but
six and one-half
pounds per acre of the mineral properties of
soil, calculating the yield at one bale to the acre. In
comparison with wheat, which absorbs 17*65
pounds to the
acre, potatoes, which absorb 163
pounds, or beets, which
require 458 pounds of the most valuable properties of the
soil, it will be seen that the amount taken
up by the cotton
fibre is small; but [even with this slow

and with little
cultivation, the custom of
from and never returning anything to
the soil, must
ultimately impoverish it. These facts are
becoming more and more evident to planters throughout the
South, and during the past year fertilizers have been more
extensively used than ever before. On account of the
peculiar properties of some of these manures, however, it is
said that, during the
excessively dry summer we have had,
injury has resulted rather than benefit. But where this has
happened, we think it may be traced to the properties of the
fertilizer, and is certainly no argument against the scientific

cultivation of the soil* To understand then what are the
best fertilizers, requires a careful
study of the nature of the
cotton
at
a
plant and of the manures generally in use obtainable
price which will enable the planter to apply them freely
to his
land.
The
requirements of cotton may, of course, be correctly de¬
by ascertaining what are its constituent parts. An
analysis of the fibre shows that 100 pounds of cotton lint con¬
tain one and three-quarter pounds of mineral matter in the
following proportions: Potash, 41.8 per cent; Lime, 19.8 ;
Magnesia, 11.2 ; Chlorine, 7.8; Phosphoric Acid, 6.4; Soda,
6.1; Sulphuric Acid, 4.2 ; Oxide of Iron, 2.4 ; Silica, .3. It
is evident, therefore, that
manure, to be thoroughly adapted
to cotton, must contain these
properties in a soluble condition.
The most important are potash, lime,
magnesia, phosphoric
and sulphuric acids, all of which are
essential, and, when lack¬
ing, must be supplied to the soil. These necessary ingredi¬
ents may be found most
readily in the following available
manures: cotton seed, natural
phosphates, guano, super-phos¬
phate, bone dust, ashes, salt, stable manure, lime, and land
plaster. By far the most valuable of these is cotton seed,
which contains the same mineral
properties as the lint, and in
much larger quantities. As there are 300
pounds of seed to
100 of the lint, the mineral matter abstracted
by the plant can
be returned to it through the seed, which contains the bulk of
that taken up during the growth. The usual mode of
prepar¬
ing the seed for manure is to put it in a water-tight basin pre¬
pared in the ground and leave it to rot in the weather. After it
is thoroughly decomposed it can be used for
grain, corn/or
termined
upon the banks for loans or discounts.
Putting together all
the
foregoing considerations relative to currency and
banking
movements, we are at a loss to conceive of
any adequate
grounds for the prevailing distrust and the
gloomy prophecies
of our zealous
panic-makers. On the contrary, the situation
and the
prospect warrant a hopeful view of the future. And

Northern farmer accumulates from year
quantities, and a few enterprising planters are al
ready beginning to avail themselves of this cheap fertilizer
with profit to themselves and advantage to the soil under cul¬
unlimited
tivation.
Among the available mineral fertilizers, the cheapest and,
some
respects, the best are the natural phosphates from
the Ashley, Cooper and Wando river regions of South
Carolina. The Ashley beds, which were the first discovered,
are the most extensive and valuable.
These deposits extend
over a surface of several miles square; the strata generally
lying within two feet of the surface in a light soil, and being
quite accessible from their proximity to the Ashley river and
the Charleston market. The analysis of these phosphates
show them to contain lime, sulphuric and phosphoric acids,
but no alkali, which must be supplied when used on land not
already containing it in sufficient quantities. In this respect
it resembles guano, and should, therefore, be mixed with
other fertilizers supplying silica and potash, which are
rapidly exhausted from the soil when guano is used alone.
The alkali and chlorine may be imparted to the soil by the
use of common salt and ashes, thus making a fertilizer as
nearly perfect as possible; but owing to the present high
price of salt, it is in most instances placed beyond the reach
of the planter. It i3 possible that the lately discovered
potash-salts” of Germany will soon be introduced into this
country, and as we suppose it is not covered by the tariff, it
may be obtained at a price which will place them within
reach of every Southern planter.
In treating of the subject of manures and fertilizers, how¬
ever, it is necessary to bear in mind the difficulties in the
way of generally distributing phosphates, guano and other
commercial fertilizers throughout the cotton country. The
railroads are comparatively few in number, and on such as
are
now in operation the
rates are high and facilities for
freight transportation extremely limited. In view of this
fact, it is necessary that a large proportion of the planters,
whose landa are distant from railroads or navigable rivers,
should depend mainly on such manure as they can make on
in
“
principles, and to make the yield as large as possible
from the limited acreage now under cultivation. Experience
has shown that cotton, like all other products of the soil, thrives
best when cultivated most carefully. All lands in which it is
planted must be sub-soiled to the depth of eighteen inches, at
least. By furrow planting and careful cultivation it has been
found that the fruit on the plant canjbe largely increased. In a
word, experience has shown that the size of the cotton plant and
the number of pods it holds are in direct proportion to the rich ness of the soil and the care with which it is cultivated, and
hence with our limited labor supply the extent of our crop for
the next few years must depend very much upon careful cul¬
different
tivation.

The bonds issued in 1864 became due in May, 1S66, and May, 1867,

passed because it was deemed prudent, in the then
existing state of financial affairs, to appropriate the earnings to the
payment of the $540,695 of bonds maturing in May, 1867, rather than
to divide them among the stockholders, and thereby compel the nego¬
tiation oi a new loan with which to meet the maturing debt.
The greater portion of the debt of the company was incurred in the
grand attempt to build a line on the northwest coast and across
Behring’s Straits, to connect with the Russian line at the mouth of the
Amoor River, known as Collins’ Overland Line to Europe, which was
abandoned after the successful submergence and operation of the

In May, 1867, it was decided to establish a sinking fund to provide
for the bonded debt, and the sum of $20,0. 0 per month has Bince been
appropriated to that object.
Up to December, 1868, the sinking fund was invested in the bonds
of the company, which, as fast as they were purchased for that

London, Saturday, Sept. 11, 1869.
Owing partly to the unfavorable news from the Continent, there has
no improvement in the general condition of the trade, notwith¬
standing that there should now be some activity resulting from the
autumn demand for goods.
But it is not so ; and in nearly every
department trade has been devoid of any encouraging feature. The
dealings in produce and manufactures have been restricted to the
immediate requirements of buyers—an admission which is simply a
reiteration of what has been in progress since the crisis of 1866. By

Stock Exchange purposes. In the Stock Exchange
week, there has been considerable excitement, and* there have
large sales by speculators of all descriptions of foreign govern¬
ment securities.
The consequence lia3 been that prices have heavily
declined. The disturbing causes are the indisposition of the French
Emperor, and the panic on the Vienna bonds. Germany is understood
to have effected very large eales of stock in the London
market, and in
consequence of these transactions a considerable amount of gold will be
sent away Dext week to complete the
bargains. What will be the
termination of the existing condition of things'it is impossible to

Anew company
has been started this week, which may prove to be
fairly remunerative undertaking. It is called the
Tram-railway Company of Great Britain, limited, the object of the pro¬
moters being, by the means of properly constructed tramroads, to bring
the minor towns and villages of the kingdom, which are at present
without railway communication, into the existing system, at a moderate
outlay. Mr. Page, the engineer, and the architect of one of the hand¬
somest bridges we possess, estimates the average expense at £2,000 per
mile, and operations are to be commenced in Devonshire, Lancashire
and Yorkshire. The total capital of the company is to be £500,000.
Had such a company been formed some years ago, the smaller towns
and villages which have now the advantage of branch lines would have
had facilities for traveling equal to those they at present possess, and
the principal railway companies would not have spent so much money
in unremuuerative enterprise, so that railway companies might now be
paying better dividends.

useful
and
putable bills would be taken at that quotation. The average rate is,
doubt, much higher. A feature abroad, this week, is an advance of
1 per cent in the charge on bills, and of 2 per cent in the rate for
advances upon securities, at St. Petersburg. This would seem to indi¬
cate that the panic has extended itself to Russia, not, however, in con¬
nection with Turkish securities, but with Russian railway shares. The
boi rowings of Russia for railway purposes of late years are too well
known to need repetition, audit is not improbable that the Russian
money market is feeling the effects of the haste which was pursued

all Continental cities, except Russia and Turin, have been
sought after this week, owing to the tendency to improvement in the
value of money abroad, and to the large sales of stock by Continental
speculators in the London market. The rates of exchange are rather
less favorable to this country in consequence.
With regard to the
bullion market, there is a good inquiry for gold for export; but the
silver market is rather quiet.
A small parcel of gold, amounting to
£50,000, has been sent to New York by the “ Colorado.” Annexed

Cincinnati as by any other route, and from any point east of Grand
Junction on our road a much shorter fine than any other to Cincinnati.
This we regard as promising to become one of our most valuable con¬

distance from St. Louis to New York, aod places Junction City 425

On the 8th of May Col. Wm. Dickson, for many years a Director in
the company, and a pioneer iu the enterprise of building the road,
tendered his resignation as a member of the Board, the duties of which
he bad so faithfully and creditably performed.
At the annual meeting the following resolution was passed:
Resolved, That the President and Directors of the Memphis and
Charlesti n Rpilroad Company are hereby authorized to lease or pur¬
chase. as they may deem best, the Decherd, Winchester and Fayette¬
ville Railroad, in Tennessee; and in the event they cannot lease or pur¬
chase said Decherd, Winchester and Fayetteville Railroad, they
be
authorized to build a branch road from or near Huntsville, Ala., to or
near Decherd, in
Tennessee; and if under the authority we hereby
grant to the President and Directors of the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad Company to lease or purchase the Decherd, Winchester and
Fayetteville Railroad, and if they succeed in doing so, we authorize
tlera to build a branch road from or near Huntsville, Ala., to intercept
the same at such a point as the President and Directors may consider
for the best interests of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad.
The Board take pleasure in acknowledging the fidelity and capacity
with which the business of the various departments of the
company
have been managed during the year.

great irregularity in the rates for money.
On stocks, few loan4
lave been made as low as 7 per cent in gold, and stocks have been
carried, from day to day, at rates varying from
on miscelaneons stocks and 1@2 per cent on New York Central.
These
extraordinary rates are not to be regarded as at all indicating any
real
scarcity of money, but purely as the result of a lack of confi¬
operators and in I he market price of collaterals. Amid
the panicky condition of affairs, strong borrowers upon govern¬
ments or other stable collaterals have found little difficulty in
getting money at 7 per cent in currency.
The course of currency movements has not been such as to reduce
the loanable resources of the banks. Large orders have been
received from the agricultural sections for currency ; but, owing to
tbe continued scarcity of small notes, the banks have been able to
respond to these calls to only a limited extent. Some currency has
been received from other cities, and the Treasury has paid out
$3,500,000 on the purchase of bonds; so that the position of the
banks cannot be regarded as unfavorable to future steadiness in the
market; and now, that the speculation in gold has culminated anil
broken, it is reasonable to expect a recovery of confidence and a
freer disposition on the part of the banks to make their means
available for borrowers. Tbe Government sale of $1,000,000 of
gold to-morrow will add to the lawful money reserve of the banks
so far tending to encourage a steadier feeling.

United States Bonds.—This
class of securities, in common
financial interest, has sympathized disastrously with the
deranging speculation in gold. The general distrust and the strin¬
gency of the money market have induced free sales of bonds, and
prices have declined in the face of a rapid rise in gold and a com¬
parative steadiness in Five-Twenties abroad ; so that, at times, the
value of bonds in this market has ruled 3@5 per cent below the
London quotations. Yet, with this extreme difference, few foreign
bankers have had the courage to buy bonds for export, being
entirely uncertain what they might be able to realize upon the
exchange made against their shipments. The lowest point of
depression was reached to-day, when Sixty twos were 120 bid and
Sixty-sevens 117^; but quotations advanced 2@2J per cent upon
ils becoming known that, in order to break down the gold specula¬
tion, the Treasury would to-morrow buy $4,000,000 bonds and sell
$4,000,000 of gold. The foreigQ market has shown a remarkable
firmness under the wild fluctuations in gold and the decline in
bonds here; and among foreign bankers there has been, this after¬
noon, a disposition to buy; in the expectation that London and
Frankfort will soon require, a fresh supply of stock. The market
closes quite strong, in anticipation of to-morrow’s purchase by the

following table, compiled from Custom House returns, shows
exports of leading articles of commerce from the port of New

The export of each article to the

Petroleum declined steadily, with a large business, until yes¬

Oils have been steady and more active; a movement in
crude sperm for export to the extent of 3,300 bbls at $1 75,

Metals have been generally dull. Ingot copper declined to

has been pressed for shipment at advancing rates.
Foreign fruits of most descriptions show some advance.

COTTON.
Friday, P. M., September 24,
1869.
There has been
further considerable decline in
prices this
week, middling and low middling closing to-day lie., and the
lower grades at about fc. off from last Friday. This is due to
the same causes which have operated during the previous two
weeks in bringing down the quotations from 35c., at which
point middling uplands stood on September 4. There has
been all the week very little cotton on the spot for sale, but
the lots to arrive in a few days have been offered at liberal
concessions, while the depression in sterling exchange has
ruled shippers out of the market during the past two days.
Holders in view of the liberal prospective arrivals have been
unwilling to carry over any stock, but there has been suffi¬
cient cotton here to supply the small demand for immediate
use, spinners anticipating lower rates and buying only in a very
small way. Saturday la*t holders were free sellers and prices
receded about ic. on all grades except ordinary,middling closing
at 30£c. and ordinary at 26|-c. Monday there was so much offer¬
ing for sale deliverable before the close of the week, that prices
gave way fc, on middling and low middling -^c on the lower
grades. Tuesday consignees continued to press sales, and
there was a further yielding of prices and to the same extent
as on the
previous day. Wednesday, as there was very littlecotton

moderate sales, prees have remained firm. For forward de¬

Tl.
Thx Crop.—The
in-gathering of the crop has progressed favorably
during the week, and the receipts are beginoiog to be large—this week’s
total being 19,739 bales in excess of the figures for the same period of
last year.
Reports of injury to the plant continue to be received from
different quarters, but we have seen nothing this wetk materially
changing the general result, which row depends Very largely upou a
late and favorable autumn.
A good bottom crop has been everywhere
made, and so also the middle crop is opening very favorably ; hence
the picking has thus far been much larger per day and the receipts are
coming in far more rapidly than laBt year. The advantage, then, of a
late autumn will maiuly be the
development And gathering of this top
crop.
Rust and drought destroyed it in portions of Georgia and South
Carolina, and the question is whether late rains and late frost will
euablethe plant to renew it in those sections, and give time for its ful^
development in all others. In the hot, dry weather of summer the
cotton boll will open from bloom in 50 to 60 days, but from 75 to 90
day8 is required during tbe cooler autumn months. We see that the
New Orleans Price Current of last Saturday estimates the probable
receipts for the coming year at that port at 850,000 to 900,000 bales
against 794,205 bales during tbe season which has just closed.

These figures are calculated to mislead, in respect to flour,
wheat and oats. A large portion of the crop of winter wheat
and flour made therefrom, has come to seaboads direct from
the Ohio Valley by rail, without going through the lake
ports, and of course not entering into their exhibit of the
crop movement, as in former years. The same is true of oats.
Hence the idea that the present reduced prices have been
reached in face of reduced supplies is not a fact, and yet
without this explanation some may be mislead who are look¬
ing for
a
further decline when the spring wheat shall be fully
marketed.
Flour has shown a steady downward tendency, and
about the lowest figures of the season.
Wheat has been dull, the fluctuations in gold have

Kentcky leaf has sold to the extent of 1,700 hhds, about exchange almost unsaleable, and the movement for export
equally divided between consumption and export, and prices has been curtailed, not only by that fact, but by the constantly
range from 9 to 15c. for lugs to prime leaf. Later advices declining advices from Liverpool—New Amber, Ohio, closed

Corn, which improved somewhat, on the anticipation of
improvement in the crops. To-day the flurry in gold caused
diminished
supplies, owing to a break in the Erie Canal, lost
business to be nearly suspded.
Seed leaf has been fairly active; but it will be observed all the advance to-day and closed heavy. Apprehensions of
that the transactions are nearly all in old crops, at very full a scarcity in this staple have generally been abandoned.

Evening, September 24,
1869.
The earlier part of the week
witnessed a steady, and in
some
departments, quite active trade. Prices were
fully main¬
tained, and in molasses and sugars had further
advanced.
The rapid advance in
gold, wbichfcommenced
on4Wednesday,
and has continued with
such violent alternations
since, dis¬
turbed the markets for
groceries in common with all others.
The views of
buyers and sellers
were
altogether upset, and

have not since settled back to
any permanent
demanding advanced prices, while purchasers
off, prefering to await further events.
