Perhaps the most important fact found by this suggestive
report is the financial strength of our commercial commu¬

great depression. Never probably in the memory of the

trouble in the financial machinery and more severe and con¬

MERCANTILE FAILURES AND THE CURRENCY.

plethora of bank notes and the rapid accumulation of
floating capital at this centre have directed attention to the
substantial soundness of our industrial position, which has
been much discussed of late in Wall street.

There

other facts illustrating this. But one of the most
striking is the limited number and amount of the failures
which have occurred during our
paper money era with as
frequent disasters and spasms. Such facts as these are well
worthy of note both in a public and a private point of view.

unpaid obligations of those who have failed has
been far less, in proportion to the capital employed in busi¬
ness, than in any ante-war year subsequent to 1850.
A sound point illustrated by this table is the small control
which during the year the fluctuations in gold have seemed to
have over our interior trade. Last year these fluctuations in
gold were unprecedented, and still the failures were little
more than in 1867 and 1868, when the price of gold was
comparatively stationary. The reason is that our greenback
currency has not been inflgted or diminished.
Of course the
exemption from trouble would not have been secured if the
oscillations in gold had been produced by expansion and con¬
traction of the greenback issues. It is because our paper cur¬
rency lias been steady and because the movements of gold
have been produced by causes exterior to our paper money
that these movements have not had the power to derange to a
greater extent our internal trade. So long as our own cur¬
rency is kept steady in volume, the speculations of cliques in
the Gold Room cannot pierce very deeply to injure our sen¬

inference from these

Congress is and will be asked to adopt some rash
measures for the forcing of specie payments.
The British
parliament was foolish enough to listen to similar schemes.
The result was that the English currency system and the
English commercial prosperity were afflicted with spasmodic
derangement by alternate expansion and contraction. The
heavy failures of 1809, 1810, 1811 and 1812 were largely
due to this cauie. Let us be wis4 enough to avoid the errors
in financial statesmanship which have been so fatal elsewhere.
If we have had so few failures in the last year or two, it has
been because our currency has not been spasmodically tam¬
pered with to any very considerable extent. Let it be equally
saved from the intrusion of rash hands this year and the
results may be more satisfactory still.

It would induce the conversion
of all the 3 per cent certificates into an obligation bearing
65-100Lhs more interest. It would result in the banks draw¬
ing 3.65 percent from the government upon nearly the whole
of the currency in their hands; and, which is perhaps more
important, it would draw into the Treasury the surplus funds
of private citizens, thereby depriving the public of the bene¬
fits of their circulation.
By fixing a minimuirrrate of interest
it might help to keep the money market steady, and so far to
check speculative excesses; but such regulation is wholly ar¬
tificial, besides being a heavy tax upon the public purse.
A second remedy suggested is that the government shall
receive bank circulation on deposit, issuing against the de¬
posits a non-interest bearing certificate available at the Clear¬
ing House, the Treasury undertaking the forwarding of the
currency for redemption. This, again, attempts to shift upon
the government the expense, trouble and risk of assorting
and redemption, a matter foreign to the proper functions of
the Treasury, and which cannot be foisted upon it without a
loss of interest and expenses.

January reflux of currency from the interior to
this centre is accompanied with a very inconvenient redun¬
dancy of bank circulation. Without indulging in guesses as
to the amount of this class of notes now resting in the city
bauk% it may sufficiently indicate the superfluity to cite the
fact that the banks are lending them, for limited periods, free
of interest, with a view to obtaining legal tenders on the pay¬
ment of the loan.
These gluts have become periodic, and are
a serious inconvenience, not to say loss, to the banks, and a
direct stimulant to speculation during the period in which
they exist. Practically, the holding of this superabundance
of national currency constitutes a sort of compulsory loan?
without interest, to the national hanks of the country at large,
and as the city banks do not wish their funds to thus lie idle,
they grant loans freely only to call them in again at a time
when the speculation which lias thus been excited is at the
highest point and the money is most wanted by the needy

expedient is free from most of the objections against those
above mentioned. It is, however, but an expedient designed
to evade the resort to a remedy much more thorough, and
demanded upon every principle of sound banking.
The only cure that will bear the test of principle is the

which grew out of the financial expedients of the war, that
practical bankers should now attach so little practical impor¬

This indifference, so far as it prevails among the banks of this
city, appears to arise from a fear on the part of individual
banks that, by countenancing a prompt return of country
circulation for redemption, they might offend their correspon¬
dents. A certain allowance may, perhaps, be made for this
prudential timidity. But, to us, it appears, short-sighted and
unwise. The banks have it in their power, by unanimous
action to enforce a healthy redemption. By neglecting to
do so, they not only encourage unhealthy fluctuations and
invite frequent crises in the money market, with attendant
licentious speculation, but they foster the currency inflation
to a very serious extent.

Without, at present, undertaking to prescribe any specific
plan for enforcing the redemption of bank circulation, it may
be safely stated that there are no insurmountable difficulties
in the
way of such action. All efforts to impose the returning,

as bad in
principle, and as being peculiarly ill-timed, at a
period when especial effort should be made to disconnect the

Ireasury from valliances with affairs outside its legitimate I
province. The function belongs properly to the banks; and

grounds of economy and convenienee, requires to be
performed by them in a combined capacity. Some time since
it was proposed, in the
Clearing House Association, to estab¬
lish an organization for assorting and forwarding notes for
redemption. Without endorsing all the details of that
scheme, it appears to us that the objections most strongly
urged against it were not sufficient to warrant its summary
abandonment. The estimates of expense were based upon
data drawn from
periods of extreme redundancy, not at all
representing what would be the average extent of work. The
risks of handling and
expressing large amounts of currency
were also dwelt
upon ; but nothing could be adduced to show
that the rbks of
manipulation and carriage would be greater
in this case than in other like
operations of the banks. It
may be that some better means could be devised.
If so, the
sooner the
plan is propounded the better. If not, let a method
be adopted which even has the fault of
objectionable detail
leaving experience to correct them ; for no initiatory imperfec¬
tions of plan, nor
parsimony of expense should be allowed to
weigh against the imperative necessity of putting in force an
arrangement so essential to sound and safe banking, and to
the healthy regulation of the
money market.

•

1869 the traffic of our railroads has
probably better than in any previous
year of their history, and it is not difficult to point out several
causes which have contributed to produce this result.
Fore¬
most among these causes we may consider the
large crop of
cereals in 1868, which furnished business to the railroads not
only in their direct transportation to market, but also in return
freights of merchandise inland; and this item has been ren¬
dered of unusual importance from the high prices which
prevailed until recently for all kinds of breadstuff's, warranting
a high tariff for freights and
bringing general prosperity also
to the agricultural districts.

For the year 18T0, it may be inferred from the remarks

The proposition is that he shall surrender the 8f or 6$ per

discovered in the holders of 'the outstanding bonds of the
United States that this thing should be expected of them ?
Everybody knows that of two classes of national securities,
both of undoubted credit, the one soon maturing, the other
having a long term to run, the latter will be preferred at a
lower rate of interest; but there must be a reasonable pro¬
portion between the two. It happens, unfortunately, too,
that no class of United States Securities have yet the char¬
acter of “ undoubted credit,” nor can it be given them so long
as the capitalists and business men of the world see in the
administration of our government finances the absence of all
true apprehensions of our difficulties and of the right remedy
is about 86, or

brought to the consideration of another and
most palpable fallacy, that is that any new loam can be nego'
tiated at a rate worthy of the United States in comparison
with the rates paid by other governments, so long as our
government refuses to redeem or take measures for the
redemption of, its past due and depreciated Treasury notes.
This is the great incubus, the standing reproach, the confes
sion of insolvency under which we are now laboring.
Until
it be removed, or provision be made for retiring all of it that
will not float at par of gold as redeemable currency, all
schemes for improving the public credit, or for negotiating
new
loans at par in gold at a rate of interest lower than is
now paid, or for resuming specie payments, are utterly futile,
and deserve the derision with which they are regarded by
bankers and political economists at home and abroad.
But here we are met with another fallacy—a groundless
fear—that if we resume specie payments our securities held
abroad will be sent home, drain off our coin and force another
suspension of payments. Those who express this fear should
know that the resumption itself, with the salutary measures
which must precede and attend it, would appreciate the credit

shipment to our markets of any article of European
production, in excessive quantity, will so depress the value
here as to make it unprofitable and stop the movement. So
the sending home of our bonds in amounts beyond our ability
to carry would depress their value here to or below the for¬
eign value from lack of buyers, for we could not be compelled
to buy them.
If the extreme case be supposed that a panic
from distrust, or revolution, or war, should drive them home
to
extent depressing their price so low as to make
an
them more desirable objects of investment than anything else,
the value of all other commodities would sink in proportion,
and the interest of money would rise exceedingly. Even then
gold money would not go abroad, for no where else could it
find such profitable use as here, and profitable use is what the
foreign capitalist seeks,'net the money itself. The effect then
would be to get home a large amount of public debt in
exchange for a smaller amount of private debt. The flow of
gold from one country to another to adjust a miscalled “ bal¬
ance of trade,” or meet an emergency, is not contrary to the
law that we have stated. It is not ev£n exceptional to it, but
rather confirmatory, for the movement indicates that gold is
in excess and cheaper (in relation to other things) in the
exoorting country, and flows to restore the level in the import¬
ing country where it is deficient and more valuable. We have
often seen gold flowing to us from England when we were
largely the debtor country. It has occurred within the past
year, because the course of exchange called for it.
Seeing how widely those fallacies prevail, the prospect for
something good and effective to be done is to many discour¬
aging. Still remembering Sidney Smith’s remark after we
had emerged from the darkness of State repudiation, “ there
is a special Providence for little children, drunken men, and
the United States,” and assured that if the pressure is to be
yet harder, hibor less employed and less paid; taxes perhaps
reduced, but with less ability to pay them ; the best indus¬
tries of the farm and the shop made unprofitable, that reck¬

EPITOME.
2!.

The tone of trade circles has been
generally an improving

markets for merchandise are

subject to the

phases of the money market and the
variations in gold, and
except in Cotton and Sugar a more
cheerful tone
prevails.
Cotton has varied
greatly in tone, though quotations have
not been
changed. Breadstuff's have generally been doing
better in the
past two or three days. In Groceries, we have

East India Goods remain
quiet and unchanged, though we
have some business to note in Jute.
Metals remain generally
quiet; the leading companies in
domestic Pig Iron are
holding above the current quotations,
and are not
willing to make contracts except at some advance,
uid a little time must
elapse to settle prices. We notice a
large movement in Ingot Copper, but are without particulars.
Naval Stores have been dull and
weak, except a consider¬
able movement in Spirits
Turpentine yesterday, at 45(5)45£c.
Oils remain quiet. Petroleum has

January 1, 1870. The export of each article to the
port9 for the pant week can be obtained by
deducting the

several

advices; but lower prices for West India Sugar and Molasses.
Tobacco has been more active in some
descriptions.
Provisions have
strengthened up for hog products in the
past few days, owing to an actual scarcity for immediate use,
and although speculation
for future delivery is rather stronger,
it appears (o be based more
upon the effect of previous specu¬
lation than upon
any apprehended scarcity later in the season.

there lias been a perceptible increase

especially the low grades. Increased receipts at the ports the

There was no other change in prices until Tuesday, when good
ordinary lost tlio improvement of Saturday, closing at 24c.
Wednesday the market was qeiet, and on Thursday dull, hut
prices were nominally unchanged. To-day, with Liverpool reports
quiet and the probability that the total receipts at the ports for tlio
week, reported to-night, will be larger than anticipated, the close
is dull and heavy, but without any change in quotations.
For
forward delivery the market has been fairly active at pretty full
prices. Sales of this description reach a total of 9775 hales (all
low middling, or on the basis of low middling), of which 1,025

There has been a good demand for Teas, more particularly
Oolongs, during the week, and a very fair business has been trans¬
acted ; more, in fact, than the amount of reported sales would
indicate, as a number of transactions have occurred in Teas from
first hands, which have not -been made public. The cargo of the

Friday, P. M.% January 21, 1870.

The market remains much the same as last week; prices
continue to be firmly held, though the amount of business
done has not very greatly increased.
The most favorable

point to be noticed is the arrival in the city of a considerable
number of Southern buyers, who are now probably the most
favored purchasers in this market, as they have been in the
habit of paying cash for goods, and coming to New York at
the present time with the proceeds of a good crop of cotton,
sold at twenty five cents a pound, in their pockets, it is not
surprising that our merchants should hail them as welcome
visitors.
It is a matter of congratulation to all business men
that the South is getting into a sound financial condition, and
no
persons will be more willing to rejoice over this fact than
those who

were most active in fighting the Southerners in fair
and open combat during the late war.
While the presence
of Southern merchants is welcomed in our market, we hope
that the old practice of selling to them, or to any other parties,

foreign and dried the market has been very firm, RaisinS on long credits, will not be revived ; it is a custom alike in¬

Brown Sheetings and Shirtings have beent quite dull, some few
goods have moved for Southern buyers, but trade, upon the whole,

has been very quhfc. Nearly all grades are firmly up to
present askings,
and there seems little doubt that if any change does occur, it will be
for the better, as the stocks are small and production is still
very limited.

Considerable

quantities of goods

are

changing hands in the xjity,

early for any distributive demand.
The
trade will probably commence to take hold early in Feb¬

ruary,
judging from present indications, and then a lively
business may be anticipated.

Bleached Sheetings and Shirtings sJjow little improvement from
the experience of the previous week. It was expected that the new
year would usher in a fair amount of activity in this line, but the realiza¬
tion of such views has been looked for in vain.
There have been some
few goods moving on orders, and buyers for the South have absorbed a
small quantity, but the large distribution confidently looked for by
jobbers has not eet in ; in view of this the movements from first hands
have been somewhat curtailed, as the jobbers evidently desire to work
off some of their present stock before laying in fresh goods. The market
on rates remains unchanged, and rules very firm on all standard grades,
in fact it can hardly be otherwise when the limited production, small
stocks, and comparatively low rates, are taken into consideration.
Lower grades are reported in good supply, but with no material
change in current askings ; indeed, the whole line rules fairly firm.
