But their force is much augmented by commercial derangement inci¬ dent to the exceptional and anomalous condition of the cot¬ ton market. Hence it is less possible now to forecast the financial future in Europe than it was some years ago, and the most divergent opinions prevail as to the probable ex¬ tent and duration of the panic. One thing only seems to be generally admitted, namely : that, in auy case, the monetary interests of this country will receive little harm, and that very few, if any, of our securities will be returned by Euro¬ pean holders. For when one English or German investor sells out his American bonds from poverty, or necessity, or. fear, two or three new purchasers will be attracted on ac¬ count, partly of the high rate of interest, and partly of the high degree of security which our bonds offer. These, we say, are the prevailing opinions in Wall street, and hence it is that, notwithstanding the news of a decline in our securi¬ ties at London and Frankfort, which was received by the Nova Scotian and the Africa, the quotations at our Stock Ex¬ change were not in the least depressed; but, on the con¬ trary, five-twenties, and other descriptions of Government securities, advanced to higher rates.

And per [April 28,1866. THE CHKONICLE. 514 During the war there was an attempt made to negotiate a large five per cent loan at par. The success of the attempt did not equal the wishes of its promoters, and even now the Ten-forty five per cents are less popular than they deserve to be. Now before our new consols could be negotiated at par, the Ten-forties must rise to about the same price. And there are indications that this point will be reached in a very short time. For their price has been steadily advancing for some weeks past; in consequence, partly of the increased demand from the National Banks, which hold a very large proportion of the 190 millions of these bonds. No one who has watched the market for Government securities can doubt that in the present and prospective state of the national credit, we shall be able to borrow at five per cent all the money we want, to duces tary to us letter sent by Secre¬ the Chairman of the Finance Committee print in full, elsewhere, the McCulloch to of the Senate on This document, with the ac. the 23d inst. companying tables, is extremely suggestive, and will well repay the most careful examination. Among other important points on wdiich it throws light, is the unauthorized over-issue of notes, which has recently been the subject of inquiry. The law provides that the total cur¬ rency of the national banks shall never exceed 300 millions, and that this sum shall be equitably distributed among the States ; one-half being apportioned according to the represen¬ tative population, and the other half according to the discre¬ tion of the Secretary of the Treasury, having due regard to the monetary requirements of the several States. To pre¬ vent any misapprehension, we copy the precise w'ords of the National Currency act, as amended by the law of March 3, 1865. This measure provides “that one hundred and fifty millions of dollars of the entire amount of circulating notes authorized to be issued shall be apportioned to asso¬ ciations in the States, in the District of Columbia, and in population, and the remainder shall be apportioned by the Secretary of the Treasury among associations formed in the States, in the rities at maturity.

That is, wre shall pledge our national credit to the the States have been allowed more than their fair share of payment for more than one-third of a century, of an annuity the 300 millions of notes, and this report appears to be fully of 5 per cent to the public creditors. This offer now is a confirmed by the statistics given in Mr. McCulloch’s letter. very different thing from what it would have been a year ago. Under what authority the large over-issue has been made we off our obligations as they fall due, and to consolidate into five per cent long bonds, at par, all our short date secu¬ pay Our immense revenues from internal taxation, our resuscitat¬ ing industry North and South, our inconceivably vast resources in mineral, manufacturing, and agricultural wealth, the rapid absorption of our disbanded armies in the ranks of our pro¬ ductive laborers ; these, and a thousand other things, have, during the past year, given such an impulse to the national credit, and to the production of national wealth that an offer of five per cent interest now will command a very much higher bid in the money market. [Moreover, the national credit is still improving. A year hence it will have made an equal advance, or probably a greater advance, than in the past. Now our argument is that we shall in a few months find it more easy to negotiate five per cent bonds at par, than we found it during the last fiscal year to negotiate six per cents at the same price. And it is a very gratifying circum¬ stance that we can afford to wait; for such is the present the Territories, according to representative people have clearly right to require the fullest information on this subject. The remedy for the evil is obviously to be found in the withdrawal of the over-issued currency, and oil the 9th of April Mr. Sherman introduced a bill for this purpose into This bill does not attempt to interfere with the the Senate. are not informed, but Congress and the the • distribution of the 150 millions of notes which were given by the law of 1865 to the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury.

I also think it a matter of great importance that provision should be made to meet the wants of those States which have been in rebellion Banking facilities are necessary to develop the industrial interests of the South, and to stimulate the protection of those staples which enter so largely into the financial interests of the country. At the same time it would be wise policy to afford the people of that section an oppor¬ tunity to become pecuhiarly interested in the successful maintenance of the Government of the United States; and, inasmuch as Congress has assumed entire con troll of the currency of the country, and, to a very considerable extent, of its banking interests, prohibiting the interfer¬ ence of State Governments, it would seem to be the plain duty of Con¬ gress to make adequate provision to meet the business wants of all sec tiona of the country in the way of banking facilities.

It will be observed that but three States have received or secured circulation in excess of $20 per capita—Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island—the three haying an aggregate excess of $59,573,837.

No one of the States lately in rebellion has shown any disposition to repudiate their liabilities incurred prior to tbe war. On the contrary, some of them have already acknowledged that liability, and many of tnem have also been engaged in devising ways and means for paying off tbe accumulated interest and payment of interest and principal. providing for the future Your committee are informed that the State of Georgia has already authorized the issue and sale of new bonds sufficient to liquidate their entire back interest, to the pay ment of which the proceeds of the new bonds are to be applied. The State of Florida has gone further than this in inserting in the constitution, recently adopted, a provision citizens, existing prior to the rebellion, shall be held as valid legal claims against them. Other of those States are taking such measures for resuming the payment of in¬ terest on their bonds issued before the rebellion as their present limited means and impaired credit will permit.

April 27,1866, P. M. The Money Market.—The the week, has been toward still of monetary affairs, during increasing ease. The partial con¬ traction of credits, induced early in the spring by the actual and anticipated fall of prices, is showing its effects in a great abundance course of money at the commercial and financial centre of the country bought a considerable amount of merchandise, chiefly for cash. So that for some weeks past there has been a steady influx of funds from nearly all parts of the country. The effect of thi3 tendency is apparent from the following statement of deposits of the associated banks at intervals since the beginning of The South has also March: 7 Deposits.

Another of the prevailing plethora of funds arises from the fact that the orders for Western produce, on the opening of navigation, are light, compared with what they are usually. The abundance of money which is to a large extent cause effect of the contraction of general business, is at the speculation in securities. Parties un¬ able to lend their balances at a satisfactory rate of interest have invested freely in bonds and stocks, governments having had a general preference, owing to their stability of value. But while this stimulates the price of securities it has little effect in modify¬ ing the ease in money ; as the funds simply pass into other hands to appear again on the market seeking borrowers. The rate on call loans opened at five per cent; but for the latter half of the week transactions have been about equally divided be¬ tween four and five per cent. Bound sums have been offered to private bankers by the banks at three per cent. Discounts cannot be reported active, there being comparatively little paper of the class readily negotiable, on the market. Rates favor the seller very decidedly. Prime names, 30 to 60 days, pass at 5@6 per cent, but paper of that class is extremely scarce; prime three and four months notes are current at 6@7 per cent; paper ranked as “ good ” is quoted 7@8£ per cent; lower grades profit little by the ease of the market, and may be quoted 10@18 per cent.

The very decided firmness of the market has induced operators to cover their sellers optionsjon perhaps all stocks, except New York Central and Fort Wayne ; so that the whole current is now in favor of an upward speculation. The unfavor¬ able financial news brought by the Nova Scotian and Africa had the effect of checking the upward tendency for a few hours ; but sub¬ sequently prices recovered, and the market closed buoyant. The probability of war in Germany has the effect of strengthening stocks, rather than otherwise ; it being argued that the event would be at¬ tended with an enlarged demand for our surplus produce, and a con¬ sequent increase of traffic on the roids. This view ha9 helped to stimulate speculation in Illinois Central, which has advanced from Hudson River is in steady 114 last week to 124, closing at 122. demand, and closes at an advance of If on last week. Northwest¬ ern has been in active demand on speculative account, and has ad¬ vanced 2| on the common stock, and 2± on the preferred.

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 more than elsewhere. The immense amount of hulk of great estates, must find this system especially dwelling property in this city, forming, in And others should send When insurance must be renewed from year to year, the best memories may sometimes fail, and then property on which families depend for their sole support may disappear in an hour—once made, insurance by deposit need never to be remembered again, except where circumstances call for its discontinuance. It keeps alive without, watching. Insurance by this method is obviously cheaper as well as more secure, 'hus,$5,000 costs,say $1250 per annum, on a first class dwelling; -while on,$125 (the amount to be deposited) tie interest at seven per cent, is but $875. If the risk runs in tlrs way ter years, the Company gets $8 75 per annum for insuring $5,000, and at the end $6 25 more, being five per ctut, retained when tlie deposit is reclaimed—making the average annual 1 premium $0 37.
