The general conclusion, then, from the whole statement is currency and the redeeming of a large amount of the public debt. Whether these twro delicate operations should be that the national debt has, during the year, not only been attempted together, and whether either or both of them reduced in amount, but that it is now in a more compact and have not been pushed too far we shall not here discuss.

We must not omit to notice the forces projected on the both sides in the great gold contest acknowledge that the present condition of the market is unusually anomalous and gold market by the perpetual agitation of the Funding Bill, irregular, if not full of peril. Several circumstances have and by the changeful opinions every day prognosticated as to transpired during the week which have had a tendency to whether it will pas3 in this form or that; or whether, as Mr. bring about a further depression. The most prominent of Cameron very wisely suggested on Thursday, it is to be post¬ these is the announcement that the Treasury will at discre¬ poned altogether to some future time. So long as the bill widest divergence of opinion. tion take all or none of the Just now, gold offered in future, thus im¬ element of uncertainty to the market, and un¬ certainty is notoriously the field in which speculation loves to sport. The perturbation of the market had scarcely begun from this cause when an announcement was published from Washington that the balance of trade was heavily,in our favor,‘so that within sixty days gold ought to come this way from Europe. This audacious statement was founded on the official report of the Bureau of Statistics that during the first six months of the present fiscal year our imports have exceed¬ ed our exports by less than two millions of dollars. Wall street was astounded for the moment by this unexpected an¬ nouncement, it being also confidently affirmed that as forty millions or more of government bonds and railway securities had during that period been shipped abroad gold could not for a long time be in demand for export to Europe. The ad¬ vocates of this view of the case supported their arguments by pointing to the market for foreign exchange, which is now more and more depressed. Indeed, for several weeks sterling bills have steadily declined in rates, so that the bankers can¬ not sell bills except at prices which must compete with the quotations for the large supply of bills drawn against the shipments of cotton, produce, and other exports. As to this trade statement it should be remarked, however, in passing, that although in any view it is extremely favor¬ able, yet there is added a credit item on account of freights parting a new in American bottoms of over twelve million dollars only 2£ per freights paid in foreign bottoms. cent, whereas the highest average is there is debit of (8 per cent), while Leaving then, the trade account shows an adverse balance only $14,569,000 against $34,139,000 for the same period no this item out of of 1868, But to obtain must add a correct idea of the true balance one-half year’s interest, at an average of 6 per cent, on about $1,200,000,000 of our bonds and securities held abroad, or say $35,000,000 of interest, and the total balance against us will be about forty millions of dollars. Yet even this is extremely favorable, and especially when we remember that we began the new year with about 150,000 bales more of cotton at the ports than in January 1869, while the receipts each week since have been largely in excess of last year, furnishing us the prospect of increased exports during the present six months. There is also another point which the more shrewd specu¬ lators are beginning to realize as increasing the temporary glut of gold in the market. We refer to the recent action of the Canadian Government in regard to American coin we Heretofore our amounts of our outlet into Canada has carried off large' superfluous coin. But this drain has received check; and if the proposed greenbacks of Canada are not soon put in circulation, the people of the Dominion will begin to suffer from the scarcity of currency. The report is, that the Canada banks have been largely interested, together with influential Canadian capitalists, in the gold speculations going on recently in Wall street. Whether this be so or not, it is a singular coincidence that, at this critical juncture, the action of the Government of he Dominion has been so directed as to give a more troubled aspect to the financial horizon. As regards ourselves, the only important a sudden is pending in its present shape, the bugbear of several hundred millions of foreign exchange will continue to hang over the market, and under such a pressure it is impossible commercial movements should go on unimpeded. Such are some of the leading points which are seriously that our discussed by the contending speculators on each side of the gold question. Perhaps, however, the most noteworthy fact of all is the controlling dictatorship which is universally ascribed to Mr. Boutwell in regard to the gold premium. This power is vested in the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury by virtue of his being the chief if not the only seller of gold in the market. Other persons sell the gold already in the market, but he has access to new supplies of the hoarded coin in the vaults of the Treasury, and from these he can pour it forth under his recent arrangement in what quantities he pleases. reflect a moment If the they would persons who thus argue would that their statements are not far from the Secretary of the Treasury see strictly accurate. For so having an unlimited aggregateof gold locked up in his vaults, he has less than $20,000,000 all told. The remainder of the $102,000,000 he reports in the Treasury is the property either of the holders of gold certificates or of the public creditors to whom it has accrued as interest on the public debt. We offer no opinion as to the vexed question whether gold is going lower or higher. No human foresight can with abso¬ lute accuracy solve a problem so complicated. What is cer¬ tain is, that a singular concentration of temporary circum¬ stances are just at present acting with depressing force upon the gold market. What permanent effects may survive them, and how far the depreciation of gold itself, to which we referred last week, may come into activity—all these are questions for the solution of which we have no trustworthy precedents to guide our decision. However we may be inclined to argue as to the future, there are few of us who will deny that now, as heretofore, the Treasury has far too much power over the gold market, that that power has too often been used neither wisely nor well, and that it should be sheltered from abuse by being disconnected from so much of discretionary uncertainty. REVIEW OF THE So far MONTH. regards general business, February can scarcely be said a satisfactory month. The indications connected with the opening of the Spring business have not been altogether what could be desired. The probabilities have appeared to favor a good business, taking the season as a whole ; but the commence¬ ment has not been characterized by a keen, active demand. In every department of business there is a cautious holding back ; not so much from aDy distrust of the ultimate demand for goods, as from a feeling of uncertainty respecting the future course of values. An impression appears to prevail, derived from the general aspect of affairs, that we are drifting rapidly intoja sounder condition of things, and toward a lower range of prices. This impression is strengthened by the tone of feeling at Washington. As discussion develops the sentiment of Congress, the chances for any further in¬ flation of the currency appear to diminish, and the probability strengthens that some plan for re-funding the debt at a lower rate of interest will be adopted. As these probabilities strengthen, confidence diminishes in the maintenance of the gold premium; and as each successive decline in gold calls for a reduction in prices { to as have been 2 5 6 March 5,1870 there is disposition to postpone purchases until the gold problem is better understood.

Throughout the country busiuess has been very quiet during tho present week.

The imports of produce are easy control. \ The Postmaster-General has been questioned on the now falling off, owing to the advanced period of the winter, and to the subject, ani has laid some blame on the news associations, which, of protracted heaviness of the trade.

If fore, the demand for spring goods is checked by the coldness of the weather; and at this advanced period of the winter the trade are by wi ling to purchase heavy goods, except to u.cet pressing requirements. We arc now, as it were, between the seasons, and untiwurmer weather sets in trade is not likely to be active. The f Bowing no means relates to the trade of Manchester : . The market is inanimate, and prices are generally more in favor of the buyer, but buyers are indisposed to act unless still greater concessions are made, amt the result is that little business is done. Both Cloth and Varus are quiet. For home Yarns a reduction is made from Tuesday's rates ; for export-Yarns tlm reduction is not so decided. The public sales of Colonial Wool was commenced on Thursday. ate much smaller than usual, owing to the prevalent east¬ erly winds, the total being 72,OuO bale*, against 131,00 * bales at the corresponding sales of last year, which were only a week later. The sales have opened with spirit, an! althrugh no quotable change is noticed, the tendency is decidedly in favor of importers. The actual arrivals are: From Sydney, 9,400 ; bom Port Philip, 29 364 ; fiom* Van Dieman’s Land, 447 ; Irorn Adelaide, 8,85b ; fro u N.,av Zealand, 1,748 ; and from the Cape of Good Hop**, 22,(558 biles, making a total of 72,538 bales. In reference to the Iron trade, it ia stated that since tho close of last week there has scarcely anything transpired worthy of reporting. Buyers continue studiously to refrain fio.n giving out any but the least important contracts, their object being, it is believed, to influence the market in their favor by turther depression. Iu regard to foreign requirements, makers entertain pretty sanguine expectations of son e extensive engagements forthcoming, thinking it evident that the im¬ mense lengths of railways in progress, and about to he comnenced in the United States, Canada, and other British colon’es, must necessitate very large supplies of rails and other railway material.

Tlie Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, which inincludes among its directors some of the most influential capitalists of this city and Virginia, have begun, in good earnest, the completion of their line of road from the White Sulphur Springs, Va., to the Ohio River. Contracts are now letting for the construction of the weste d- seventy-five miles of the line, extending from the Falls of KaDOhio, at the mouth of Quyandotte River. This will enable the company to take advantage of the demand for Kanahwa coal on the part of the Ohio iron furnaces, which are especially intermost ahwa to the THE 800 ested in the opening of the road. between Richmond and ihe White The 227 miles of road in operation Sulphur Springs is doing a large profitable busiaes3. corporation which has recently been introduced on the market byMessra.

It is to be presumed that such gentlemen as W. H. AspinwalJ, A. A. Low, David Stewart, C. P.

Fisk Hatch. The high character of the two important rai’r- ad loans—the Ceutral Pacific and J the Western Pacific—which have recently been placed by them, and j the rapid and successful manner in which the business was completed have been such as to secure for the house a high reputation in this department or financial oper..lions.

Naval Stoles gave way early7 in the week, but dose with some recovery. Oils have been dull, except for Linseed Oil, of which we notice free sales at a slight decline. Petroleum in this market is very unsettled. The principal feature of to day’s business was large sales (about 10,000 bbls.) of refined, for April to August delivery in Philadelphia, at 29c. Provisions have varied somewhat, Lard closing lower, but Pork, Hams and Bacon show firmness, the two latter not giving way to any extent to-day under the decline in gold; a large sale of pickled Hams was made at 14Jc. Cumberland Bacon 13jc; Western prime Mess Pork $28, with heavy Mess $26. Beef is very firm w ith a good demand ; it will be seen that the stock is only Lalf as large as it was last MarchButter and Cheese are decidedly lower. Wool has become quiet.

The foregoing shows the interior stocks have increased during the week about 1,700 bales, and that they are now 14,004 bales in excess of the same period of last year. Our last week’s total we have had to change, having received to-night the correct figures in place of the estimates given for two of the ports last Friday. Consumption of Great Britain.—There appears to be no little want of precision in the views quite generally expressed as to the spinning demand of Great Britain. authority, for instance, states that there ought to he an increased supply of foregoing statement it will be seen that, compared with One London corresponding week of last season, there is an increase in the ex¬ ports this week of 34,940 bales, while the stocks to-night are 139,704 800,000 hales, of 400 lbs. each, to make Lancashire quite comfort¬ bales more than they were at this time a year ago. The following able. This idea lias been adopted by some of our own writers, who is our usual table showing the]movement of cotton at all the ports concluded from it that any less supply would make Lancashire short and he the basis for a speculation here.

We do not tion, however, will indicate the slight ground there is for the con¬ include our telegrams to-night, as we cannot insure tli3 accuracy clusion drawn from this statement. The largest consumption of cotton in Great Britain during any ot obtain tbe detail necessary, by telegraph. From the the 310 THE CHRONICLE. year was in 1860, when it reached 2,523,000 bales, weighing1,079,321,000 pounds. It will be remembered, however, that the production from it glutted the markets throughout the world with British goods, even at the low prices then current, so that the scarcity produced by [our war was the salvation of that trade, changing impending ruin into wealth. The largest consumption since the war was that of 1868, when it reached 2.801,940 bales, weighing 996,197,100 pounds. This was the result of the extreme low price prevailing—7^@8d. being the ruling rate during Decem¬ ber, 1867, and January, 1868; but this enlarged consumption so glutted the goods market, that on the higher prices of the succeed¬ ing months of that year the stopping of many of the mills became a necessity. Now let us suppose that Great Britain receives from the American crop an increased supply this year of 400,000 bales, which, if next autumn’s movement is similar to the last is, as all we think will admit, an understatement : Last year’s consumption was pounds 941,000,000 The 400,000 American bales would add “ - 176,000,000 [March 5, 1870.

Counting the increased fineness of yarns produced and the greater economies of the present day, it is not probable that the consuming capacity of the whole now exceeds by 5 per cent, if at all, that of 1860.

M., Feb uary 25, 1870. The market has been completely commenced ten days ago by Messrs. unsettled by the action A. T. Stewart & Co., in offering Prints at great reductions from tbe ruling market price. It is useless to speculate as to tbe object of Mr. Stewart in taking the Trade by surprise with bis extraordinary “ flank” movement; the fact of the movement and its results are of more importance to our readers. It seems to be quite evi¬ dent that the effect will be, and it was intended to be, some¬ thing much more permanent than merely to draw the attention of buyers to the Dry Goods Palace on the coi ner of Broad¬ way and Chambers street. The result has already been shown in a general reduction of prices in prints, in many brands of bleached and brown goods, and also in imported dress goods. It may be fairly said that the movement was inaugurated by the most prominent dry goods merchant in tbe United States, and his deliberate opinion as to the course of business in the immediate future, as shown bv this important reduction in goods, is entitled to much weight. The range of cotton and gold have recently been such as to warrant lower prices, and since the first rush at Stewart’s store the tendency of these has been downwards, confirming in a remarkable manner the anticipations which be probably held of such a course of affairs. The market closes in ward tendency in those an unsettled condition, with a down¬ goods- which have not already been reduced in price. of dry goods for tbe past week, and since JaD. 1, 1870, and the total for the same time in 1869 acd The exports uary 18GG are shown in the following table: Foreign Dried the marke shows unexpected firmuess under -FROMNKW YORK. the decline in gold, and we have but one or two changes to make Domestics.

The supply is still limited, but quite equal to the demand. Trade in first hands is becoming mo.e active, in view of the opening of the Spring trade. Prices have been unsettled by the irregular action of jobbers, and are in many cases lower.

Bleached Sheetings and Shirtings have been rather more animated the past week, with sales slightly in excess of other cotton goods. Trade in these goods is equally backward, with other fabrics, in corn- pirison with previous seasons, a noticeable activity being forced by the reduction of prices from to 2c per yard below standard rates, by a fe^ of the leading jobbers on special brands. In first hands the market has ruled quiet, with moderate demand for standard makes, (hough prices at the close are weak.

The Fall River market is reported to-day a9 nominal at 7i@7fc. Prints have experienced some forced activity, the effect of the reductions in some of the leading brands of from ^ to 2}c per yard by many of the prominent jobbing houses. The trade having i een confined bo entirely to the goods offered by dift-rent jobbers at reductions below rates, it may be said that there has been no regular market for these goods, and it would seem to be probable that the heavy ‘ drives” offered by jobbers are an indication of the course of the market for the season.

Woolen Goods are dull and quiet; with sales only moderate and far behind those of last season. Rates remain about as last week. Dealers complain of the unparalleled backwardness ot the season, and many say that without an early improvement in the market a break will result. Commission men are now loaded with goods, and the demand in any of the departments is without animation. Cloths are in moderate request for seasonable designs, to supply immediate wants. Prices are off a little, however. Doeskins are inactive, with prices les9 firm. Agents’ rates are without noteworthy change. Cassimeres are fairly active for fine and medium fancy grades, although the market generally lacks life. Carpets are firm, although the trade for the past week has been only This line is, however, rather in advance of other Dir. branches of the trade, and promises to be the mo>t active. Prices in Europe con¬ tinue firm and are without material change here, with the exception of some few foreign makes, which have declined on an average 5 per cent. Tapestry Brussels were offered as a “drive,” at$l 45, 10c per yard below the jobbers rates by one firm, and are now offered at that price , generally. Foreign Goods.—The market in first hands shows an increase in activity since the opening of the week. Dealers are sanguine that the Spring trade will be in all respects up to former seasons. The supply of goods is limited, and the invoices to arrive light* A good trade, therefore, is likely to produce a scarcity in the market of all staple fabrics, more especially in the Spring style of dress goods. “Drives” have been offered by some Lading jobbers. Trade in first hands for the past month has been from 25 to 50 per cent in advance of former seasons, notwithstanding the market has apparently ruled so quiet. In white and lace goods trade has been more animated than at auy former period for some years, and prices are firm, without important change. Linens have ruled firm at an advance of nearly 10 per c-nt on fine goods, while lower grades are 6 per cent above the previous week’s figures. These advances correspond with the upward movement in the European rnarLets. Dress Goods are firm in first hands, with an upward move¬ ment in prices, the more marked in Alpacas aud Mohairs. In theie g ods orders have been freely placed at 6 per cent advance. Jobbers have realized a fair trade in light dress goods on account of the “drives” offered in Lawns, Grenadines and Poplins, but outside of these lines business is very light.
