BANKING RESERVES. An searching eyes of the intelligent public—than other legislative safeguards, such as bureaucratic su¬ pervision or official inspection, that have ever yet been de~ vised. With adequate publicity the abuses which led to the disgraceful failure of the Merchants’ Bank at Washington, a few months ago, could never have reached such a height or caused such heavy losses to the Government and to indi¬ in any viduals. We the earnest in pressing this matter because banking system have probably been exag¬ gerated by common rumor. An uneasy feeling has for lome months been generally prevailing relative to the condition of these institutions. This distrust, if it be unfounded, publicity will tend to remove. The banks, we believe, are for the most part doing a good, legitimate business. The deficiencies in the reserve, of which so much has been said, are reported to have been small, and, if so, the announcement of the facts, with the name of each bank, and the amount of its default, would have at once reassured the public mind. On this account it is to be regretted that the inquiries of the Senate were not in all respects fully met. There is very little doubt that Mr. Hulburd’s excuse for not giving the names of the banks injured his case. It is now too late, however, to redress the evil till afler the holidays. But on the first of January another quarterly^ report is due, and it has been are the abuses in more our important discussion has been introduced by Mr. Senate, relative to the dangerous habit to which the National banks are tempted, of unduly expanding their business, and thus fostering inflation and speculative high prices. The resolution adopted unanimously by the Senate, with the reply sent by Mr. McCulloch, will be found on another page, and offer matter for grave reflection. It is not our present purpose to discuss the numerous questions suggested that immediately on the reassembling of Congress suggested by the unexpected information that no less than the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to report to the 55 banks were short of the 25 per cent, reserve at the last Senate the name of every bank which is a defaulter on its quarterly report of the 1st October last.

In the example of the Central Park we already have seen how much may be accomplished by a liberal commission, constituted with reference not to lowr political ends but to a great and creditable public work. It is really not an exag¬ geration to say that the way in which the Central Park has been carried out, from its waste and desolate beginning to its present condition of beauty and use and comfort, is the most satisfactory illustration to which we can point of the possibilities of the public service in a democratic country.

Under such circumstances a large majority will al¬ ways be found adopting the former course; and it is because manufacturers have followed that policy since the close of the generally complaining of heavy losses, and in some instances verging upon bankruptcy. In certain branches of industry the suffering has been so severe that manufacturers are now largely curtailing their production, a course which, if persevered in, will ere long bring them very important relief in the reduction of wages and of the prices of raw materials ; and doubtless the chief rotection of the producer must lie in his strictly regulating is employment of labor and his purchases of materials by the value at which consumers will be willing to take them* But this is not the only protection of which his circumstances admit.

While much which modern research claims has as discovery proved to be what the world had long since forgotten, the construction of highways through mountains and avenues beneath the surface of the earth appears to be able to main¬ tain its claim to originality. Former engineering skill con¬ veyed water over chasms by expensive aqueducts; and the cau«ey of King Solomon and the roads of the Incas of Peru, are examples of the former progress in this art of making way over the gulfs which are sometimes apparently im¬ passable. But the present method is bolder and more aggres¬ sive. Iustead of “ overturning mountains from their roots,” they are pierced through their very centre. Chicago has done a greater feat; that of burrowing under the bed of Lake Michigan for a distance of two miles, to obtain a sup ply of water pure from the contaminations of foreign mat-, ters, and ample for the wants of the millions that are yet to make up the population. London has descended below the surface of the earth to excavate a thoroughfare, and even bridged the river Thames from beneath for the purpose. Now, the people of Chicago are preparing another tunnel under their river, and the capitalists of England are estimat¬ ing the feasibility of a tunnel and railway under the Channel from Great Britain to France. In a former geological period the sites of London and Paris wTere under the same lake; how great the contrast if they should be' connected by a subterranean and subaqueous railway. Mr. Hawkshaw, one of the most successful engineers of the United Kingdom, has actually employed two1 years upon an investigation into the subject of effecting a submarine passage across the English Channel. Borings Iiave been made in the neighborhood of Dover, and likewise between Calais and Boulogue, and also in the mid-channel, to* ascertain the geological structure of the crust of the earth,, and the practicability of the enterprise. We have not hear *d of his conclusions; but he proposes the construction of a tupuel growth of the city. The tunnel was obtained by the amended charter of Chicago,, approved Feb¬ ruary 13th, 1863, and by act of Congress, approved January 16th, 1864. A Board of Public Works was created, with power to carry it into effect. The contract was awarded for $315,139; and the ground selected for the commencement of the work at the foot of Chicago Avenue.

There lies an obstacle, however, in the way of the con¬ struction of these tunnels which bids fair to preclude future undertakings of the sort. They are too costly for private enterprise to undertake them. The tunnel through the Alps would never have been undertaken except for the boldness of Count Cavour, backed by the treasury of the Sardinian, afterward the Italian Government, aided by subventions from as There will be two passage-ways for trains, high, and in the part under the river will be also a passage way to be reached by stairs at each end. The project is the first of the kind ever at¬ tempted in the United States. In London the tunnelling enterprise has been perfectly successful. There were engineering difficulties to overcome such as are hardly to be expected elsewhere, the expansive character of the clay, the frequent occui rence of beds of sand and gravel, the sewers and drains—particularly the Great Fleet sewer, the gas and water pipes, the Grand Junction Canal, etc. But it was done at a total cost of $14,000,000, or $5,500,000 per mile, including the outfitting and stocking of the railway. The enterprise yields dividends; 5 per cent in 1863; 6£ in 1864, and 7 per cent in 1865. The number of passengers carried in the first six months of 1863 was 4,823,457; in six months of 1864, 5,104,385; in six months of 1865, 7,462.823; i#six months of 1866, 10,303,305. The revenue has increased; in the first six months of 1863 it was £53,058, and in the first six months of the present year, £102,947. These figures would seem to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed tunnel under Broadway as a remunerative enterprise. The excavation of mountains to permit the carrying through them of railroad tracks is now a matter of every day occurrence. We may very properly denominate this the Tunnel Age. The Appenines of Italy, the mountains oi Provence, the numerous hills of England and Wales have as gypsum, when the work might go on faster. The tent of the proposed tunnel is 12,220 metres, of It will be constructed in sections in - The Hoosac Tunnel would have been abandoned by the company undertaking it but for the aid granted by the State of Massachusetts. The improvements in the construc¬ tion of railways and rolling-stock enable the ascent of moun¬ tains to be made. A road has already been constructed over Mont Cenis, and is about ready for travel. A part of it which has been already completed on the slope along the car¬ riage road was passed over by a train consisting of several carriages at a rate of 11 miles an hour in ascending, and 9£ in coming down. The incline sometimes attains 8£ feet in the one hundred, and some of the turnings have a radius of only 133 feet. Great as the importance of those projections will be to travel and commerce, there is likelihood that future undertakings of this character will be superseded by improvements in railway construction. It has been suggested by engineers that a railroad over Hoosac Mountain would be feasible, which would, if it did not supersede altogether the occasion for the completing of the tunnel, answer for use till that event should take place. The plan of Mr. Fell for the application of steam traetion to [December 22,1866.

The figures which are the subject of criticism are of course unofficial, and are ob¬ tained at the expense of the New York press through a corps of re. porters. Their work is a very difficult one, and we would naturally expect to find inaccuracies at times; but it would appear, from the facts given above, that it is quite thoroughly done, and will command the confidence of the trade in the future as in the past. We have not noticed the outside remarks of the Argus Editor, being nnwilling to spoil his delight over his “ ludicrous ” discoveries. Still, it may be some quarter million bushels of wheat, satisfaction to him to know that Athens had been heard of in New York, even before he so kindly volunteered information with regard to it, and so also the barges (not “ propellors ”) which carry in large quan¬ tities flour to Boston. The net aggregate result of the eleven months shows a falling ©ff from the same months last year of $1,881,712, or 2.66 per cent.

RECEIPTS OF BREADSTUFFS AT NEW YORK. The Albany Argus, a few weeks since, published a statement show¬ ing that the shipments of breadstuffs by tows from that city were very much larger than the published receipts at this market from that direc¬ tion. One of our reporters, in his weekly breadstuffs report, saw fit to notice this statement, and to account for the discrepancy in part by one or two facts which appeared to have escaped the notice of the writer in the Argus, First, our reporter claimed that a considerable portion of the shipments from Albany are to other markets, through the Morris and Essex canal, and second, that another portion is laden on board schooners which, on reaching this city, proceed direct to various New England ports, Ac. Of course, if a part of the shipments published by the Argus take the direction indicated, they should have been deducted by the writer in that paper from his statement, and all that was claimed in the Oheoniclx was that they were not deducted, and that the discrepancy was thus in Our a measure accounted for. Albany cotemporary now publishes what he claims is a reply to our reporter’s remarks, not only putting in a general denial, but also a few special pleas, in one of which he appears to us to admit the truth ol our reporter’s principal assertion. “ That some portion,” he says ** of the shipments hence by the tows (during the barley season for in- EXCHANGE AT LONDON— DEC. 4.

The failures at present recorded are not, however, of any great importance, and the liabilities, even in the aggregate, reach a very moderate total. One or two old-established firms have, however, suc¬ cumbed, the one bearing the most importance being that of a Manches^ ter firm of long standing. The other embarrassments are chiefly in the Colonial trade, and, so far as can be ascertained at present, the result of the existing depression in the tea trade.

On Monday it was chiefly in connection with the engagements to be met on the but even to-day the inquiry has ruled active, fourth notwithstanding that the stock of bullion at the Bank of England would justify a reduc¬ tion in the rates of discount.

It is possible that as clearing houses are recognized in section 31 that the managers of these institutions in Boston, New York and Philadelphia might be required to report weekly to the Comptroller of ihe Currency all hanks that exhibited a deficiency im the reserve of lawful money, and that the effect of such a requirement would be salutary.

The Gold Market.—The downward tendency in gold has been points from our last quotation. The prevailing view on the market is that there is nothing at present to sustain the premium, while all the elements controlling the price appear to favor lower quotations ; continued during the week, the price having fallen four bf speculation runs in one direction the movement is naturally excessive. Perhaps during no week since the close of the war has the volume of speculative transaction? equalled that of the last s'x days. The clearances of gold to-day a' the Gold Exchange Bank reached the immense total of SI 23,000,000. The demand for customs duties is quite nominal. Foreign ex¬ change is weak, and ranges 1± per cent, below the rate at which specie could be advantageously shipped. Bond3 in Europe keep so nearly on a par with the quotations of this market that it is fouud impracticable to import 5-20’s. The activity in the Liverpool cot¬ ton market raises the expectations of a large export of cotton-, while the reduction in the Bank of England rate of discount encourages the anticipation of continued firmness in this staple. At the same time, the Treasury will disburse at the beginning of nex,t month about 310.000,000 of coin upon coupons due Jan. 1st. These are 'the principal considerations which contribute to the present weak¬ ness of the premium ; and, judging from the present tone of the market, it would scarcely appear that they have had their full effect. The market i3 constantly largely oversold ; but there are not opera tors bold enough to attempt “ to corner the shorts.” Loans have been made to-day “ flat” to J per cent, per day.

Pork and Hog products have experienced a general and very considerable decline. The quality of much of the Summer packing is defective, and fact, with liberal supplies, keeps speculators out of the market. There has been some revival of shipments of Bacon to Great Britain at about 7c. gold for Cumberland cut, with freight at 25c. by steamer to Liverpool, and Exchange equal to par. But, as yet, there is very little Pork or Laid going forward to Great Britain. The shipments of Lard to the continent have been quite liberal.

The market is subject to speculative manipulations, and quota¬ tions of spirits turpentine and rosins vary almost hourly. Fruits have been in light demand. At a material decline there have been large sales of dry cod, mackerel, herring, and other fish. Hops have become very dull, and must be quoted lower.

Wool is slightly more active, and in some Provincial markets there has been a large business. Freights have been irregular. The offerings of cotton* for Liverpool have been so large as to cause an advance in rates,.; and by causing a need for ballast, lower rates are made ^ for grain and other weight.

There have been exported this year from Montreal by sea going ships foreign countries 6,439,239 bushels of grain and 158,479 bbls. of flour, a considerable portion of which came from Lake Michigan ports. Tge Milwaukee Wheat Trade.—The following is from the Circular of Geo. I. Jones it Co., of Milwaukee : The last shipment of the season by lake having been made, a brief review of the wheat business at t is port, since the beginning of the year, seems appropriate. The season has been a remarkable one in many respects. Never before, probably, has the attentiou of operators in all quarters of the country been so generally directed to this market, and, probably, at no previous time has Spring wheat entered into such general consumption, and in very few seasons have prices fluctuated so widely, and reached so high. The Spring wheat crop of 1865, in the country supplying the market, was of unusually fine quality, and very abundant, while in other sections the quality was inferior, and the to yield light, This, in connection with the almost complete failure in many States of the Winter wheat crops of 1865 and 1866,caused buyers to flock here in great numbers during the Spring and Summer, and the transactions were very large, botii for shipment and speculation. The shipping demand was constant and vigorous, but the ordeis were chiefly from milling points, the inquiry from the seaboard beirg extremely limited, owing to the European markets ruling relatively lower than those in this country. The great scarcity of Winter Wheat compelled a very large number of millers and consumers, who had previously been much prejudiced against Spring Wheat, and who had never before used it, to consume it freely, and the result has been to.overcome their objec¬ tions. Many of the operators who came to this city for the purpose of buying and speculating, were from Ohio, Indiana, and other Winter Wheat States, and their actual observations of the short supply at home gave them great confidence in high prices, and decided advantage over others loss informed in regard to the wants of the country at large. The speculative transactions during the Fall months were less numer¬ ous than earlier in the season, but the demand for shipment and milling wa9 strong and active, and scarcely slacked at any time from harvest to the close of navigation. oe Spring wheat crop in this quar¬ ter this year was apparently in a must flourishing condition up to the second week in August, and promised to be heavier than ever before, and of very superior quality. The high expectations of a crop of more than usual magnitude were, however, suddenly overthrown by the dis¬ astrous storm that occurred about the time harvesting began. This storm was soon followed by almost continuous wet weather for nearly six weeks. TLe yield, instead of being ^0 to 80 bushels per acre, as was generally expected, probably did not exceed an average of 12 bushels. The rains caused the wheat to sprout in the field and stack, so much so that about 80 per cent, of the crop was rendered unsound. On threshing it was found that the extreme heat of July had shriveled the berries badly In consequence, only about oue eighth of the crop thus farmirket- d has been heavy enough to inspect as No. 1. This is in great contract to last year, the proportion of No. 1 in the eutire crop then being rather more than three-quaiter8. This year the proportion of No. 2 has been fully fifty per cent. For the purpose of separating more carefully the sprouted and damaged wheat from the sound, a new grade was estab¬ lished and called No. 3 Spring, and of this quality the proportion thus far has been about one quarter. The impression is that the great bulk of the daraged wheat has a ready been marketed. The proportion of rejected thus far has been about one-eighth. Notwithstanding this year’s crop has graded io much below that of last year, it has met with ready sale, and the farmers have probably realized nearly as much as last season. The soundness of the policy of strictly maintain¬ ing our well known and reliable standards of inspection has been evidenced ail through the year by the comparatively high figures our grades huve commanded in this and other markete. Our grades of No 1 and No. 2, though of not quite as handsome outward appearance as last eeascD, have met with much favor, and been pronounced by millers [December 22,1866. THE CHRONICLE. 796 arrivals since last harvest were in October, when about 8,000,000 bush¬ el 9 were received. The emallest receipts in any one month were in March. The receipts for the year would have been considerably larger but for the fact that a much greater quantity than usual was taken from Minnesota and Iowa by river to St Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and other points on the Mississippi and Ohio. The shipments from 1st January to date aggregate about 11,600 bushels. Of this quantity about 700,000 bushels went forward by rail¬ The quantity taken for Cleveland, Toledo and Sandusky shows how important that branch of the business was. The season of lake navigation opened on 28th April, the first shipments passing through the Straits of Mackinaw that day. The last shipment was on 1st December. The season thus extended over 217 days. In several previous years propellers have left here for Buffalo as late as 10th December, and in 1861 a propeller sailed from here for that port on 21st December, and met with no detention. The stock in store at no time during the season has been allowed to accumulate as heavily as in many previous years. The stock in store at date is reported as 318,409 bushels. The receipts are now only averaging about 7,500 bushels per day, and as the requirements of our city mills, when running full time, are about 12,000 bushels daily, the accumulation is n^t likely to be very rapid—especially if the demand for shipment by rail should continue, unless the arrivals increase materially There is considerable diversity of opinion as to the probable quantity still to come forward. The general impression, however, is that there is much less m this section than at this time last year. The total range of prices for the season has been $1 16 to $2 25 on No. 1 Spring. The Winter Wheat crop in this section usually bears but a very small pro¬ portion to that Spring Wheat. The former being a decided failure this year, the transactions have been very small, and we have kept no re¬ road, a new feature in the trade. cord of them.

Grocery Trade has been generally more animated up to yesterday, when the decline in gold somewhat unsettled prices, and business was rather irregular.

Tea was fairly active from first hands and among jobbing houses dur¬ ing the early part of t«e week, but later the demand fell off, and the decline in gold has completely unsettled the market and stopped busi¬ ness.
