Mr. Alorrill deserves the best thanks of the the firm attitude he assumed Tuesday towards the factions Senate, and for his luminous exposition of some of the fundamental axioms of financial honesty and statesman¬ ship, which are apparently being lost sight of in the dust and confusion of party strife. Nothing is more improbable than that there will be any important financial legislation for some time to come. Still, the nation is so much excited by the discussions in Congress and elsewhere on taxation? on the debt, the currency and the banks, that Air. Aforrill’s judicious exposition is well-timed, and is likely to have the best effect. There are two a perpetual motion, but can Sena¬ tors believe it will do all that its advocates vouch for ?

At every hazard, however, I shall present the subject, as it appears to me, with entire frankness and without embellishment. Others may regard this artificial "regulator of the ebb and flow of currency as the offspring of genius, and as such, I believe, the paternity is already claimed by more persons than the number of cities claiming Homer’s birth place.

The inflationists, we believe, have heretofore pretended to claim Air. Alorrill as one of their votaries.

While readily conceding all that can be reasonably claimed as to Mr. Vanderbilt’s abilities as a railroad manager, and while allowing that the Erie would be sure of a more efficient head under his supervision than under its present and late control, yet it would be a matter of regret upon public grounds were the two independent routes to pass into the hands of the same parties.

We are now approach, ing the period for Spring sowing. In a changeable climate like this, the future cannot be spoken of with the slightest degree of certainty. Suffice it to say, then, that the winter has been a mild one, and, although during the last two weeks the days have been bright and warm, the nights have been sufficiently cold to check the growth of wheat and of other plants. This is a favorable circumstance, and it is to be hoped that the weather will be sufficiently severe so a9 to prevent vegetation from getting too forward. The farmers in Essex and Kiut, two of our leading wheat growing counties, speak favorably of the growing crops. There is no doubt that a good wheat crop, and also a good potato crop are required to set commercial affairs in motion, for the progress towards recovery is, even after two years from the failure of Overend’s* slow in the extreme. Our imports contiuue good for the time of year and will now increase.

As farmers stocks are 22,1868. important feature of the present week is the excitement in the cotton market, resulting in an advance in prices amounting to Id to l^d. per lb. The diminished stocks here, and the apprehension that our future supplies will be insufficient to meet the demand, are the chief causes of the animation which has prevailed ; but, at the same time, many are of opinion that the advance which has been established is too great. Hence, there ha9 been some anxiety respecting this branch of our commerce. So long as prices were falling, and the market was de. pressed, we did not hope for a revival of business. The extraordinary excitement of the Liverpool market has now, to some extent, had a similar effect, business having been conducted on cautious principles i n most other departments of trade. It is clear, however, that cotton must continue to rule firm. The stock in Liverpool aud London is WHEAT. —Exports- The meet much less than it in the was at this time last year, although the diminution supplies of American and Indian produce 30,000 bales less than in 9,521,772 619,083 1 to Jan. 25 Week ending February 1....

That the rates have reached their lowest point is clear, but that money is to be¬ come dear in consequence of the prevailing active demand for goldand of improving trade, is not so certain as some would suppose. As regards the export of bullion the movement in this department cannot, in reason, be looked upon as a matter of surprise, or as a cause for alarm. For many months our supply has been very largely in excess of our requirements, and hence any diminution which may take place in that over abundant supply is necessarily a relief to our money market. The incubus is removed, the tone of the money market becomes more healthy, and prices rise. A tising money market is looked i pon by many as unsatisfactory. When the advance is above five per cent., it may, with more reason, be thought so ; but at present higher quotations charged for accommodation indicate simply an improv¬ ing condition of affairs, and, to some extent, recovering trade, For maDy months bankers have been unable to employ their surplus balan¬ ces, and have even discounted bills at 1 and 1^ per cent. Latterly» however, the rates have improved about f per cent, yet the open mar¬ ket maximum is still £ per cent beneath that of the Bank of England It follows, therefore, that an improvement equal to 25 per cent must take place in the open market rates of discount before we can expect the Bank rate to be advanced to a higher point. Improving trade and an export of gold are calculated to enhance the value of money, but with tbe exception of cotton, in which there has been continued excite¬ ment, trade improves at a very gradual, and almost imperceptible pace^ while the export of gold has, during the last few days, subsided to an extent which will only absorb our imports from Australia, the United States and from other quarters, as they are received.

Ih re is more done at the lower figure. The last statement of the A sociated Banks showed a loss of $2,3l5,0o0 in legal tenders and a decrease ot $525,000 in loans and of $443,000 in deposits. The loss of legal tenders appears to have been largely due to the Sub-Treasury having paid out largely in Bank currency instead of greenbacks. The loss of a1"out six millions of legal lenders in February, a period when money is about to accumulate here, apoears to be due to the exceptional movement in breadstuff's at the West.

On Saturday last, late in the day^ a large speculative movement set in, and the price of middling Uplands was quoted at an advance from 22 to 23c. On Monday the legitimacy of this advance was disputed, 9ome quoting at 22@22£c., and others adhering to 23c. But on Wednesday the accounts from Liverpool of an improvement in that market to the extent of a half penny determined the contest in favor of the operators for a rise, and the market at once advanced to 25c., but the close was weak last night, and to-day, under a pressure to sell, there were some transactions at 24£c.; but the ruling quotations this evening remain tbe same as yesterday. The market has been almost entirely in the hands of speculators, spinners buying sparingly, and ship¬ pers confining their attention largely to lots in transit. The sales of the week foot up 48,503 bales, of which 3,646 bales were taken by spinners, 25,049 bales on speculation, 19,808 bales for export, and of which 9,09t> bales were in transit The following are the closing quotations: Thursday.. , • • Other ports, Mar. 6* Total this year.. 1,649,340 all the table furnishes the 70,862 164,333 22,487 248,136 158,646 57,114 We have had this week March 6, 1868.

They can only recover if a surplus, after paying operating expenses, interest, etc., remains, and they simply have a priority of the common stock. In so far, therefore, these cumulative dividends are in favor of the holder, but, on tne other hand, they may create difficulties in the administration of companies, and become a material drawback in the value of the ordinary stocks, as instanced in Michigan Southern guaranteed, the deferred dividends on which have hung like an incu¬ bus around the necks of the general stockholders, and more than once prevented their receiving a legitimate share of the profits made on their road. --New York Central.-' 339,736 . 59 89 23 21 17 16,4:38 9,214 10,202 9,874 1866. $371,041 5:19,4.35 423.341 249 224 327 212 224 238,362 283,951 338,691 843,678 (708 to.) $603,053 505,266 505,465 411,605 669,250 (524 to.) , 04 14 24 88 was principle as applied to share capital. anteed and the Chicago and Alton Illinois Central.- 1868. , 98 116 109 104 290,111 3,095,152 ..Year.. . 97 52 119 57 130 97 (280 7/i.) $259,539. 321,597 887,269 322,6:38 360,323 323,030 271,246 .Oct .Nov 428.71.2 487,867 102 44 (280 to.) $240,238 .July... .Aug... .Sept... . 46 30 01 29 meeting Company a determined to make the dividends on the preferred stocks cumulative.
