The

monthly report of the public debt which we publish
elsewhere, offers several features of great practical import¬
ance.
First, it shows that some progress is making in fund¬
ing, inasmuch as the very large amount of $10,672,700 of
long Five-twenties of 1864 have been negotiated at the rate,
as we hear, of 102 and
interest, the latter being payable in
gold. This financial operation has greatly contributed to
strengthen Mr. McCulloch’s position, and with other favoring

are
regarded with great favor, and as they
are scarce, a considerable amount of them
might be gradu¬
ally negotiated with equal advantage to the Treasury and sat¬
isfaction to the public.
These are the leading features of the report and it cannot
be denied that the exhibit is on the whole
satisfactory. It has
been urged that the sale of so large an amount of
gold-bear¬
ing bonds privately and without any notice to the country
was
inexpedient and may tend to depress these securities in
the market now that the nature and extent of the
negotiations
have transpired. It is replied, however, that in the
present
aspect of financial affairs these bonds could not have been sold
on as
advantageous terms if public notice of the sale had
been given, and, moreover, the bonds
having been already
absorbed by investors, and the demand

First, the temporary loan has been increased

is altogether too large to be held on call without
danger of
embarrassment, and it is generally wished that Mr. McCul¬

position and pay off a considerable proportion of these mis¬

dollars.

Indeed, a few of these persons
have been sanguine enough to propose that one or two hun¬
dred millions of dollars in gold coin should by some un
known means be piled up in the Treasury ; and that on a
certain day the government should force up its currency to
par by offering to redeem it in gold.
By the mere trans¬
parent artifice of offering to redeem with 200 millions of
coin 400 millions or more of paper, these philosophers sup¬
pose that the government could make its paper money
equal to real coined money; and could still keep the gold in
the Treasury, inasmuch as nobody, they say, would want it.
Every one would be satisfied that he could get the gold at
will, and therefore he would not trouble himself to ask for it.
This currency scheme reminds one of the renowned exploit
of hoisting one’s self by his own waist-band.
One feat is
not more impossible than the other.
Whoever, indeed, has
studied the financial history of Europe and of this country?
or has watched the current
movements of monetary affairs
with only a moderate degree of attention, must see that this
scheme, if it were possible to carry it into practice, would
have but two results. First, while the coin was accumulating

What the law enacts is that the banks shall not
be entitled to reckon their compound notes as a reserve
against their circulation, though they may keep these notes as
a reserve against their deposits.
The greenbacks which the
banks want as a reserve for their circulation will only amount

Here, then, we have before us two means we can adopt
for reforming our currency.
First we should reduce our

greenback circulation by conversion into compound notes;
and secondly, we should make early arrangements for the
compulsory redemption of all National Bank notes in New
York. And by wisely and carefully adopting these methods
we may avoid that ruinous and spasmodic contraction of
credit which is totally distinct from, though it has too often
been accompanied and rendered disastrous by the contrac¬

Washington the deposit dispute between Mr. Spinner
and the banks has been satisfactorily adjusted.
This tax will
be computed hereafter on the net deposits as was the plain
intention of the law, and not on the gross deposits, as Mr.
Spinner seemed disposed to interpret it. Had the tax on gross
deposits been enforced it would have imposed on the banks
of this city an extra burden of some half a million of dollars,
and what is of more importance, this tax would have been
very unequally distributed, falling with crushing weight on

From what has been said, however, it is
plain that this is a gross mistake. A country bank, from the
nature of its business, can post up its books at the close of
business each day.
The distinction between net deposits
and gross deposits is important only if Clearing Houses are
established, and even there it would cease to exist, wrere it
possible to make the clearings and to complete the entries in
the books at night before the close of bank hours.
This ar¬
rangement, however, would be found impossible in our large
cities, where the volume of transactions is large; and it would
seriously disturb tie established methods of doing business
wyth no compensating advantage. Mr. Spinner in receding
so
promptly and so cordially from the position he was sup¬
posed to have assumed, has only added another to the nume¬

said, that we object to the imposition on the banks of their

It makes no difference as to the principle of this affair to
say that Jones and Smith’s account in the bank books on
the day appointed by law for making the Government
returns shew’s a balance in their favor of $1,000,000 instead
of $100,000 ; because the books are not posted up, and eannot be posted up till the next morning, when the outstand¬
ing $900,000 of obligations will come in through the Clear¬
ing House. The latter sum is not in the hands of the bank
as assets;
it only lies there in trust for the persons to
whom it is owing, and appears daily in the deposit accounts
of these persons in some other of the Clearing House Banks#
It is, therefore, plain that to tax the gross deposits is to
charge the duty twice over; for it would compel two differ¬

These institutions derive great

profits from the issue of circulation, and from other privi¬
leges conferred on them by law. They are, therefore, under
special obligations, and are willing, we believe, to pay any
equitable taxes that may be Taid upon them. The sole ob¬
jection to the tax on gross deposits, which we have been dis¬
cussing, is that it was not equitable.

the desire to keep up the repute of land, as oil land, now induces
many
parties to keep on pumping small wells at a loss—would farther stimu¬
late development.
The permanent production of the country must
eventually be obtained from pumping wells yielding but a few barrels
per day, and legislating these small wells out of existence, besides the
wrong and injury to their owners, has a direct tendency to destroy the
entire oil production of the country, one of the
largest and most impor¬
tant branches of its industry.
“The Commission have the reported production of each of the 197
farms. This reported production, in their opinion, is from
one-quarter
to one-third in excess of the actual steady
production. But taking the
reported production to be the actual production, tbe following statement
is approximately correct. Of the 197 farms,
only 61 produce daily
on

20 barrels each.
Of these farms, six are on Pit-Hole Creek, and
the average daily production of the
producing wells upon them is 140
barrels each.
Upon the remaining 45 of the 51 farms, there are 571
producing veils, and the average yield for each well is sixteen and twothirds barrels per day. If it be true that a 20-barrel well worked
upon
a
royalty entails a loss to the owner of $10 per day, it is evident that
the oil-producing business, as a whole, is a losing business, and no fur¬
ther argument is needed to prove the
necessity of the immediate aboli¬
tion of the tax on crude.

Spirits as a Source of Public Revenue.” It has been
piepared by Mr. David A. Wells, and assumes “that the
future policy of the Government will
impose on these arti¬
cles the maximum imposts which
they can bear without too
largely encouraging attempts at evasion of payment by the
smuggler, the illicit, distiller, and the retailer.” How this
general principle is proposed to be carried out, we shall ex¬
amine at length next week.
It seems that from taxes on
spirituous and fermented liquors England derives 33 per
cent, of her entire
public revenue; Russia, 37 per cent.; and
France only 12 per cent.

“

It may be stated, howaver, as the unanimous
opinion of the Com¬
mission, that of all taxes, the most just and the least obnoxious, are
those laid equally upon accumulations of
capital, and the most unjust

and

most obnoxious those which trammel and burden the
processes of
production, or tend to increase to the poorer classes the expenses of liv¬
ing. In both of these respects the duties on oil are objectionable, and
therefore, while the Commission have proposed no immediate reduction
of the tax on refined oil, they have
expressed the opinion in their gen¬
eral report, that hereafter that tax should also be reduced.”

a young country
whose capital was all employ ed in
highly remunerative industries, than to build the roads at the
lowest possible cost consistent with safety.
To provide at
once a rude tramway
upon which trains could be run was the
primary purpose. To build the road substantially was an
impossibility for the capital could not be provided. Hence,
the average cost of British roads and equipment has been
three times that of our own roads.
The original condition
of our roads, however was not one in which they could per¬
manently remain.
A vast amount of construction work
must be done subsequently, in order to place them in a sound
and durable condition.
But for all such outlays the original
capital made no provision ; indeed, in not a few cases, the
first capital proved inadequate for erecting the primary mea¬
gre framework. The first estimate of the cost of the Erie
road was six millions, its cost up to the present time has not
been less than seventy millions.
The cost of the New York
Central road was, in 1843, less than eight millions:
to-day its
capital account is about five times that amount.
These facts illustrate the large progressive demand for
capital for construction purposes, in the history of our own
roads.
We apprehend it will not be for a moment assumed
that these immense requirements could have been met
by the
issue of new obligations or additional stock.

Is the exercise of such
large powers longer necessary1?
Ought directors to object to submit such schemes to public
approval through inviting subscriptions of new stock for
their accomplishment?

gold for export having fallen off. and the silver mar¬
having become flat, at 61 d per ounce, monetary affairs in this
country have presented a much more favorable appearance during the
present week. The position is not such as to justify any immediate re*
duction in the rates of discount, although it now seems pretty certain
that only a few weeks will elapse prior to a movement in that direc¬
tion ; but for how long a period the rate will continue at seven per
cent, is at the moment a matter of great speculation. It is possible,
however, that the next “ fourth” of the month, being the 4th of March
at which date a large number of commercial bills will fall due, will be
light, in consequence of the great quietness in commercial affairs gene,
rally during the present year. The pressure on the money market,
therefore, will not be severe, and this being the case, a rate of seven
or of even six per cent, may not unfairly be anticipated.
No d ubt, a
six per cent rate will lead to a considerable revival of trade ; but this
is an event which is now greatly to be desired, for transactions in most
articles of food and manufacture have been contracted to within their
almost narrowest possible limits. In addition to the quietness of trade,
large quantities of gold continue to arrive into the United Kingdom
fiom nearly all quarters, but chiefly from *New York and Australia.
From the latter quarter, £200,000 is now clue, whilst a further amount
to the value of nearly £400,000—is known to be on passage at the
present moment. It is expected that as the demand for gold for ex¬
port is now very limited, the greater part of these supplies will be pur¬
chased by the Bank of England.
The more favorable aspect of monetary affairs has had its natural
effect on the market for nearly all classes of securities. Home, foreign
and American descriptions have participated in the improvement, the

In exolanation of these laree ship¬

spring and summer of last year, and the very low price to which Cotton fell (7d
to Sd pei lb) kept much of the supply from reaching: Bombay before the mon¬

and the imports of new Cotton compared side by side with those of last
year, we believe no excess will be shown.
Indeed it is the general opinion in
Bombay that the exports of 1866 will fall short of those of 1365. fur it is well

“This is a most important consideration in connection with our prospective
supplies of Cotton, and goes far to counterbalance the large supplies expected
from America.
Should the export from that country to all Europe this year

500,000 bales over last year, and the bulk of it would be required to coyer the

Revenue Laws.—

Chicago Republican publishes some elaborate statistics of th#
production of distilled spirits in Illinois and the operation of the revenue
laws upon that interest It says that most of the principal distillers
who are doing a ything at all, now run their stills mainly to fill orders
hesitating to risk the uncertainties of the market, and more especially
in view of the probability that Congress may at any time suddenly
raise or lower the tax when they are least prepared for it But a
large
proportion of the stills are now idle, and have been so ever since th#
imposition of the $2 tax.
From the best information we can gather, the distillers would
regard
a tax of $1 a gallon, if
assured that it would continue for a time suffi¬
cient tr test it8 practicability as a means of raising a sufficient
propor¬
tion of the revenue with great favor. Under its stimulus most of the
stills now idle would be put in operation and new ones erected.
The total number of proof gallons of
high wines distilled in Chicago
from the first day of September, 1862, when
the law of taxation upon
spirits took effect, until the first day of February, 1866, and from the
same date in the fifth and
eighth districts, to January 81,1888, is M

The

Sinking Funds are increased annually as follows: that for
redemption of city 6 per cents by an appropriation of $10,000
and that for the redemption of
city 5 per cents by an appropria*
tion of $5,000. The H. P. & F. RR.
Sinking Fund is increased
by the difference between what the city pays on its own bonds issued
to said
Company, and what it receives from said Company, namely*
1 per cent per annum, or in the
aggregate $5,000, less U. S. income
tax.

population of Providence in 1860 was 50,666. If in 1865
52,885, the tax receipts in that year would be $10
per capita. This includes also the State taxes paid by the city,
viz., $168,927 61.
Several of the items of receipt and expenditure are
mere trans¬
fers from one side to the other, thus of the $168,927 61
paid to the
State, the city got back $19,512 06 for public schools, and $18,528 28 for the reform school. The
receipts on account of H. P.

disbursements on the same
account.

other items materially reduce the actual

The

important changes in all the items of the return are
the result of the recent large sales of gold by the Treasury

checks drawn for payment of gold, has necessitated a con¬
traction of loans to the extent of $3,292,052.
The several items compare as follows with the returns of

River that the Government cotton in that
region is about to be shipped to New Orleans, will probably cause a
slight revival in receipts at that port, but at Mobile no revival can be
expected. The vast extent of Texas, and its few railroads, render it
probable that deliveries from that quarter will be steadily maintained

may be expected at the
Atlantic ports. Accordi g to these estimates,
receipts will probably
maintain half the average of the past
six months for the next three

points with reference to supply and demand, which were pre.
presented in our review of last week, have been accepted and acted
upon by the trade; and the result has been an active market, and a
general, though moderate advance in prices. The demand for the
Eastern, British Provinces, and the New England States, has come in
very strong, while the local demand has improved, and there has been'
the average inquiry from the South—under all of which stocks have
been materially reduced. The telegraph informs us of considerable
speculative feeling at the West, with a material advance in prices. Of
course, European orders have been shut out of this market by the up¬
ward turn of prices and the decline in Exchange. Holders, however,
regard this fact with indifference; for what is known as the regular
trade of the market has seldom been larger than during the past week

Lgndon.—Our own correspondent at London, under date of Wednes¬
day, Feb. 14, on the subject of the Manchester market for cotton yarn
and cotton goods, dc., writes as follows :

erate, and the market has presented rather a heavy appearance, whilst
prices have had a drooping tendency. There is no material change,
however, to notice in values. Annexed are some of the leading quota¬
extent, and
