standard is adopted, or is about to prevail, in Germany,
Portugal, Holland and other parts of Europe, while it
has been established in England for nearly half a century.
Russia, also, is preparing for specie resumption by
accumulating gold in the Imperial State Bank, instead
of the silver of which its former bullion reserve used to
consist.
M. Bonnet adds Austria to the list of countries
about to resume specie payments on a gold basis. Our
information does not confirm this part of M. Bonnet's
argument. At Vienna, as at Washington, some of the

the same influences which affected business unfavorably in 1874
were prolonged into 1875, and still continued to operate against
a substantial return of prosperity. The same rigid economy with
consumers; a yet lower range of prices in many leading articles
of merchandize; a minimum of profit on the transactions of
manufacturers, merchants, and transportation companies; and the
this respect, while the
warnings of 1878 and 1874 were yet fresh
remembrance, did not convey a very favorable Idea of the
prevailing standard of commercial morality.
A fair crop of cotton and large crops o( cereals did something
to relieve the depression of the year, but the effect of these
would have been much greater had not the price* of leading
products ruled at such low figures.
Capital, which is proverbially timid, could not be obtained for
any new enterprises, and railroad loans were scarcely atlemjitcd
in the New York market. In London, some considerable amoanta
of bonds were placed early in the year, but nearly all of these
were for old companies of well-established reputation, whose
previous loans had been well known in that market. The only
new loans which, as a class, met with any favor in this coantry,
were those offered by cities, and of these several were readily
sold at full prices.
As a consequence of the very moderate use
of surplus funds in new financial or industrial enterprises, or
in stock speculation, it was found that money accumulated at the
financial centres, and during six months of the year it waa difficult
to place money on call, with satisfactory collaterals, at anything

from the failure of many houses which had already

of 1873 these were some of the adverse influences against which
the mercantile community was obliged to contend.
It had been anticipated that with the curtailment of production,
and a reduced volume of foreign imports, together with the
exhaustion of stocks of merchandize throughout the country,
there would spring up a renewed demand for goods which would

THE MONEY MARKET.
The money market, upon the whole, was decidedly easier than
any year since the close of the war. Even in the first quarter
a period when there is usually a fair demand for money for
commercial purposes there was no considerable inquiry, and on
call loans the rates were 2@3 per cent, until after the 1st of
in
—
—
March. During the six months, from the"middle of April to the
middle of October, 4 per cent, was an outside rate on call loans,
and during much of the time it was difficult to place money with
satisfactory collaterals, at
2@3 per
cent.,

that loans fairly advanced to 5@6 per cent., and in the latter part
of December there was some temporary stringency, with quotations
up to 7 per cent. gold. Mercantile paper followed the course of
per cent., most unusual in
call loans, and sold at very easy prices, the quotation for choicest
paper being 4 per cent, during the summer months. There was
considerable discrimination among purchasers as to the grades of
paper taken, but the failures of the year had at no time the effect
of shaking confidence to any important extent in the general
soundness of the mercantile community.

and, on the first of January, 1876, the ten- forties sold at 118, an
advance of 3 per cent., and currency sixes at 132i, an advance of
5 per cent. These bonds are selected as fair standards of the
popular issues of governnient securities, not liable to be called in
at any moment, and their gain in price shows the extent to which
United States bonds grew in favor during the year. The demand
for governments came largely from corporations, such as banks,
savings banks, trust companies and insurance companies, as the
experience of the past few years had shown that no other class
of investments could so effectively strengthen their position, or
be so relied upon for immediate use in raising money, in any
time of financial disturbance. The range of prices for the year

GOLD.
Gold apened at 112f in January, 1875, touched 1174 on the 2lBt
of June, and 117f on the 5th of October, and closed December 31,
at 118.
The price was largely controlled by speculative manipulation, which was rendered practicable by the comparatively
small supply of cash gold available for market purposes. A
combination among parties able to hold a few millions of gold is
formed, and by withdrawing so much from the market, cash gold
is made scarce, and a high price exacted from borrowers for the
use thereof from day to day. The specie in the Kew York banks

Situation.
— The
first
characteristic
an evident determination to
forget the losses of the past year, and to hope for better things in
the immediate future. Nor is this a mere result of sanguine
temperament, without any facts upon which to base it, for the
general circunistanc.5s of the commercial and financial situation
seem to warrant a reasonable expectation of better business in
1876 than in 1875. Among the principal facts which furnish
grounds for such anticipations, it may be mentioned that the
process of economy and curtailment of production which have
been going on, are precisely the opposite of expansion and
inflation, and have the natural effect of bringing merchandise
transactions down to a basis where a healthy business may be
done with fair, though not extravagant, profits. Then the
Government finances, under Secretary Bristow's management,
are in a favorable condition, and with the present policy carried
out In a practical and conservative way and there seems to be no
reason to fear that he will move otherwise than conservatively
it seems possible that, under the unfavorable condition of paper
money inflation, the beat that can be done may be realized. Again,
as to stocks and bonds, the outlook is more encouraging
United
States governuienl.'i are stronger than at any former period, and
all good investment securities show a tendency to reach higher
prices in Mnseijuence of a greater confidence in the value of the
properties on which they are based. In the latter class we
include railroad securities, as they seem to have a decidedly

—
;
better prospect since the earnings of the respective roads show
an improvement from the extreme depression of the first nine
months of last year.
The money market worked very closely during the early part
of the week, but to-day there is an evident relaxation in the rates
for money on call, and the quotation this afternoon is 5@6 per
cent, on good stock collaterals.
The range on previous days was
from 5 per cent, on governments to 7 gold and sometimes 1-64 to
1-32 per day, on other collaterals.
It is anticipated that money
"
Trill steadily grow easier during next week.
Prime commercial
paper is in good demand at 6i@7i per cent.
Th^Bank of England report oii Thursday showed a further

loss 01 £448,090 for the week, and again advanced its discount
rate 1 per cent., so that it is now 5 per cent.
The Bank of France
gained 10,8l.'i,000 francs in specie.
The weekly statement of the New York City Clearing-Houae
Banks, issued December :U, showed an increase of f 1,651,775 in
the excess above their 25 per cent, legal reserve, the whole of
such excess being $9,013,675, against |7, 361,900, the previous

Enlted State* Bond*.—^There has been a pretty large
business in goveroments during the week, of which a good
share seems to be on speculation. One of the notable features is
the amount of transactions between Germany and this market, as
a large part of the bonds taken here are supplied by the German
bankers. The circular of a prominent firm of Government bond
dealers, dated January 1, has the following
Independently of the ordinary fluctuations occurring from temporary causes
at different seasons. Government bonds are steadily appreciating in average
market value, from year to year. No government stands higher -in credit in the
markets of the world, than that of the United States, and it is not unreasonable
to anticipate that in a few years its bonds cannot be had at prices at which they

supplying that amount of exchange and so far
checking a demand for gold to export. There does not seem to
be much expectation of a speedy decline in gold to materially
lower figures, and, so far as we hear opinions expressed, the
majority seem to think that, if there is any change, the price is
likely to be firmer. On gold loans the rates to day were 4i, 5 and
2 per cent for carrying. Time loans of gold have been quoted as
follows: 30 to GO days, J@f for carrying; 90 days, i@i for carrying; 4 months, " flat;" all the year, j@l per cent for uje.
Customs receipts of the week were |3, 295,000.

There have been considerable dealings
exchange this week, a large part of the supply of billB
coming from the loan negotiators referred to last week. These
loans were £3,000,000 of the Philadelphia and Reading general
mortgage bonds, brought out by Messrs. McCalmont Bros. & Co.,
and £1,3.50,000 of Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad consolidated mortgage bonds, guaranteed principal and interest by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Both loans were managed by Messrs. J. S. Morgan & Co. in London, and the bills
drawn were by Drexel, Morgan & Co. There has b-'en a good
steady supply of cotton bills coming forward, the most of which
are controlled by a few partie.s. To day there was an advance of
i point in prime sterling, but this, in the opinion of the brokers,
hardly seems to have been warranted by the situation.

l>een a decided advance in prices, which has led to a stronger
feeling throughout most of the list. Western Union Telegraph
has been one of the strongest, and closes at 75i, which (ex-div.) is
the highest price made on this stock for some time. Lake Shore
has been strengthened considerably by the declaration of a 3 per
cent dividend out of the earnings of the last six months of 1875,
and which was nearly all earned in the last three months,
according to the company's statement. The semi-annual statement of Michigan Central is not considered very favorable, as the
surplus above interest payments is small. The following shows

half the total ciop had been received) were 3,093,130 bales.

B.\gs, Bagging, &c.
Bagging has ruled quiet during
past week, and the trade doing was of a jobbing character
from dealers to consumers. The price is steady at 13c., the high
cost of butts making holders firm.
Bales are dull and nominal.
Butts continue very firm, and there is a fair demand, chiefly for
lots to arrive, and we hear of sales footing up about 5,500 bales
at prices ranging from 3f(a2|c., gold, duty paid, for January,
February and March shipment from Calcutta, the market closing
firm at these figures.
Spot lots are strong at S^c.
Liverpool, Jan. 7.-4:30 P. M.— By Cable from LivkhPOOL. Tho market has ruled steady to-day. Sales of the day
were 10,000 bales, of which 3,0CO bales were for export and
speculation.
Of to-day's sales 6,000 bales were American. The

It is, however,
always difficult to bring the freedmen into the fields after the
holidays, and the present low prices furnish less inducement
than usual for attempting it.
Early in the week we had two days with
Galtesti/n, Texas,
slight showers, but since then it has been clear and pleasant.
The caufe of the small receipts is the approximate exhaustion of
tho depot accumulations; waggoning is only partially resumed,
but now beginning again. Next week receipts will probably be
light.
The thermometer has averaged 61, the highest being 73

market was more active early in the week there
was a better demand from the local trade, and shippers lor the
West Indies aud South America were pretty free purchasers.
But the better demand was very freely met on the part of holders, and no decided improvement in "prices took place, though a
smaller proportion of the business was done at or near inside
flgnres.
Receipts have been comparatively free for this reason,

FoBEiGN Dry Goods. The market for imported fabrics has
been extremely quiet, and will probably continue so until importers are ready to show their new spring goods which are coming forward slowly. Reports from Europe indicate a stronger
market for brown linen goods, and an advance on some makes
has been established, which has checked operations for this
market. Yorkshire stuff goods, such as alpacas, mohairs and
brilliantines, are a shade lower in the Bradford market, but 40-inch
black French cashmeres are steadily held abroad. In our annual
report, given in our editorial columns last week, of spinning in the

Values of both cottons and woolens,

fairly sustained, but there were some further reductions in
bleached cottons, in which the well known productions of the
Utica Steam Mills participated. The failure of Hamilton, Rich-

was a small stocking-up demand for tickings and denims, but
and checks remained quiet, and there was

sluggish up to this time, and irregular in price. Print cloths

Prints moved slowly ia fancy styles, but there was an increased

appearances indicate a large supply of these goods, which will
probably bo found excessive, as their popularity is somewhat on
the wane. Cloths and doeskins were veiy dull, and satinets and
jeans were only placed in limited amounts. Flannels were taken
in small lota for the renewal of assortments, but blankets were
very quiet. Agents have their new styles of worsted dress fabrics
