Such are the three chief features of Mr. McCulloch’s policy
as it has been evolved in the past three years, and we find
ourselves unable to deny that, in its main incidents, it has
worked extremely well. To those who object to any of his
acts, the Secretary has the clear right to oppose the logic of
success.

There are, however, some specific mistakes of detail which
we have a
right to point out, which it is for the public
to
interest
have brought into a clear light that they may be
avoided in the future.
We may cite, for example, the
Treasury sales of gold during the late panic, and the trouble
caused thereby to our city banks, whose reserves of green
backs at a critical time were daily depleted that the
Treasury might swell its idle balance, and lock up in
its vaults a mass of greenbacks for which, as it turned out,
there was no immediate need. Another instance involving
a similar
principle provoked some sharp criticism last Fall,
when the Secretary contracted the currency too rapidly after
having omitted contraction altogether during the idle months
of the previous Summer, when the process could have caused
no inconvenience, but would rather have been a
salutary
preventive of too great a plethora of the money market.
These exceptional incidents in which an apparent mistake has
been made by Mr, McCulloch are not numerous, and any
one who has taken
pains to acquaint himself with the com¬
plicated nature and the prodigious extent of the business of
the Secretary’s office will rather wonder that such instances
are so rare.
Moreover, under our system ol government
the Secretary of the Treasury is under the disadvantage of
not being able to defend himself by explaining his
policy.
He has no voice in Congress, and cannot, like the English
Chancellor of the Exchequer, be questioned as to his sup¬
posed short comings, or give the proper explanations on the
instant when the popular feeling is excited and when public
opinion is forming.
The complaints about Mr. McCulloch’s policy often origi¬
nate from an exaggerated misapprehension of such mistakes
as we have referred to in the
management of the currency.
Because the Secretary’s contracting machinery has got out
of order now and then, and because harm has
resulted,
certain busy, over zealous persons would undo all the
wholesome work of currency reform, inundate the country
with new issues of greenbacks, or bank notes, and
plunge us
into the gulf of National bankruptcy which was
generally
predicted two or three years ago as inevitable, and which it
is a mystery to ourselves and to our
foreign creditors how
we have so
triumphantly avoided.
An example of this occurred yesterday, when, from
•ome obscure cause, the stock market became
spasmodically
excited, and rumors of a further issue of greenbacks were
industriously put in circulation. It is unnecessary to caution
our more
thoughtful readers against accepting such sensa¬
tion stories. They have been often
repeated of late, and
have been as often contradicted, but
they never fail to revive
whenever any speculative purpose is to be
temporarily
served by them. The
country has two great protectives
against any mischievous tampering with the currency. In
the first place the Senate Finance Committee are sound on
the greenback question.
They are determined^that no issues
of paper
money shall be made in any form. They will
consequently oppose and kill all projects to add to the out¬
McCulloch’s
policy, which has already conferred such vast
advantages on the country, is not likely to be given up. And
our
enterprising friends at the Stock Exchange, or elsewhere,
will err very seriously if they venture to act on any specula¬

the hands of the public the report of the Government sales
of gold and bonds since 1861, prepared in obedience to a
resolution of the House of Representatives several weeks
ago.
This voluminous document is, beyond question, one
of the most important which has ever been compiled on the
negotiations of the Treasury. The facts of which it gives
official, tabulated details, will claim a prominent place in
every financial history of the war period, and a sufficient
number of extra copies should be prepared to meet the

These refer
chiefly to subordinate matters., such as the amount of com¬
missions paid to the agents through whom our prodigious
war loans were negotiated.
We are told, for example, that
the first great Five Twenty loan of 1862 cost $900,000 in com¬
missions, the greater part of that sum being spent in adver¬
tising, in the organizing of a machinery of agencies, and in
giving the necessary publicity to plkns, then so novel in this
country, for disposing of public securities. The Seven-Thirty

millions in commissions,.

must be borne
mind that
by refusing to discount below 2 per cent
has lost, while tbe Bank has gained, business. At
Thursday, the authorities had to decide upon a very
simple matter^ nd I think there is no doubt but that they have acted
wisely in not advancing their rates. The object of the open market
during the last few days has been to force up, as it were, the Bank
rate, by diminishing, as far as it could, the supply of loanable capital,
and by refusing to discount even the best descriptions of paper below
2 per cent
Some, indeed, asserted that they were charging 2£ and 2£
per cent. The consequence was that those who bad bills to discount
took them to the Bank, and it is for this reason that the u other securi.
ties ” in the Bank return exhibit so large an increase. Had the BaDk
directors raised their minimum to
per cent, the open market would
then have been placed in the position of competing freely with the
Bank, and would have secured a much larger proportion of the discount
business now to be transacted; but the Bank seem to have decided
that they had better charge 2 per cent, and retain a good business, than
advance their demand fo 2-£ per cent, and part with a considerable pro¬
portion. So far the open market has been beaten, and the Bank
authorities seem to have shown that they can carefully study their own
interests, as well as take a pretty accurate insight into the future.

Consequent With all the due allowance that
ought to be made when speaking of
upon this curtailment of consumption there must be ere long the
future, it cannot be perceived at present that there is any immedi¬
a diminished demand for labor; which again will work out
ate prospect of money becoming much higher in price. There is clearly
a reduction of
wages, and a resulting decline in the cost of a tendency to a rise ; but, even now, after the comparative activity in
all products. There is reason for hope that this much needed the demand for money during the present week, it is only a tendency,

ponding to this heavy drain upon their resources. For a
time, therefore, they have been living upon their accumula¬
tions ; and it is only now, when they find their resources
materially reduced, that they begin practically to recognise
the necessity of economy. On every hand, therefore, we
see the beginning of a process of contracting expenditures.
Luxuries are being curtailed ; as an illustration of which we
find the piano forte market over-supplied, and dealers adver¬
tising their instruments for sale upon monthly instalments.
Families are refusing to pay the late high rents for dwell¬
ings ; and hence the 1st of May found large numbers of
houses unlet. In every household the question is-—how to
reduce expenditures; and the result is very general com¬
plaints from the retail trade. This process of contracting
expenses must go on yet further, until consumption is more

visions of the Bill:
Statist
1. This Act may be cited for all purposes as “ The Cotton
cs
Act, 1868.”
2. In this Act the term “ warehouse” shall mean and include every
and corporation having cotton in his or their possession at any
port in the United Kingdom. The term “ forwarder” shall mean and
include every person or corporation who carries or forwards cotton for
toll
or
Five-Twenty bonds
Advices from Frankfort state that United States
person
in
were more
demand, and that the market for them was
decidedly im¬
proving,
other consideration,
Every warehouse at each port in the United Kingdom shall, on
the 1 st day of July, 1868, and on the 1st day of every subsequent year,
make a return in writing to the Board of Trade in such convenient form
as the Board of Trade may order, showing the quantity of cotton in his
or their possession or charge.
4. Every forwarder shall, on the first day of July, 1868, and on the
1st day of every subsequent month, make a return in writing to the
Board of Trade in such convenient form as the Board of Trade may
order, showing the quantity of cotton forwarded or received by him or
them within the then last preceding month.
The returns are to be published as a Parliamentary Paper, and any
failure to comply with the requirements of the Act will be visited, on
the conviction of the offender, with a penalty not exceeding £20. It is
stated that Parliament will go into Committee on the Bill on Wednes¬
day next.
Trade has been very quiet, and the utmost caution has been shown
in all departments. After the recent spirt rather a dull tone seems to
be apparent, and business is chiefly of a hand to mouth character. Cot¬
ton is less firm, and has declined about £c. per lb., while the sales for
the week are reduced to 47,640 bales. At Manchester a very cautious
feeling prevails, and cotton yarns have fallen in price to the extent of
£d.@ld. per lb. In the wool trade there is also a quiet-feeling, and on
ther Continent a slight reduction in prices has taken place this week.
The public sales of Australian and Cape wool will be commenced here
on Thursday next, and will not be brought to a conclusion until the 27th
of June. The arrivals at present amount to 155,000 bales.
The wheat trade has been decidedly flat, and prices have declined to
the extent of Is. per quarter. Millers show great indisposition to pur¬
chase in excess of their actual wants; and it seems evident that so
long as the harvest prospect remains favorable, the tendency will be
towards a lower quotation. The following statement shows the extent
of our imports and exports of wheat and flour since the commence,

Liverpool Colton Market.—Cotton opened firm and considerable
activity was shown during the two first days of the current week, since
which time the market has ccnticued dull and irregular, and prices have
fallen off materially from the opening. One cause of this depression is
attributed to continued unfavorable trade reports from Manchester.
There was considerable doing in cotton to arrive on Saturday and Wed¬
nesday, but with these two excepti ns scarcely any animation has been
sh wn in that department of the trade. The total shipments of cotton
to L’verpool from Bombay up to the 15th inst., since ths last report,
amount to 54/00 bales. The following are the authorised quotations

The Phcenix Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Hartford.—
This company offers new and special inducements to parties desiring to
insure tbeir lives, which certainly seem so favorable as to merit atten¬
tion.
Life insurance has become such a well tried method for men of
moderate means to provide for their families in case of death, that it
would hardly seem to be necessary to say a word in its favor.
It is,
indeed, so universally approved of, that it is now considered that a
young man in business, with a wife or family to support, who does not
insure his life in tbeir favor is acting wit' out a reasonable regard for
their happiness.
The Phoenix Mutual Life Company of Hartford, as
we learn from its circulars and
pamphlets, off rs several new advantages
to insurers, among
at will in any part
which we notice the permission to reside or travel
of the United States, Europe, an i the southern por
tion of South America, during any and all seasons of the
year, without
vitiating the policy ; and also the throwing out all restrictions relating
to the insured, from their policies, except fraud, engagement in the
manufacture of gunpowder and fireworks, or in submarine operations,
military and naval service, death in consequence of duel or in violation
of law.
These liberal changes in the business of life
readers as being in remarkable contrast to
our
principles
insurance will strike all
the former contracted
which it was conducted. The other advantages claimed
by this company are numerous and are stated at length in the^circulars
of the company, which can be had on application to Mr. John E. DeWitt,
manager of the New York branch at 153 Broadway.
The progress of this company for several years past, and its present
financial condition are best shown by its published statement, which is

materially affect the money market,
having been for the week nearly equal in amount
purchases of Seven-Thirties.
There is, however, a very decided change in favor of ease;
not so much from
any abundance of lunds centering here as from
the dulness of the demand for money. The general inactivity of
trade causes a limitation of the demaud from
merchants; while the
extreme quiet of stock speculation is attended with not infreqaent
changing of loans ; bankers consequently become anxious about
being able to use all their balances, and their efforts to put out
their surplus funds have induced a decline of the rate on call loans
to about 5 per cent with
exceptions at 4 and 6 per cent. It is
thus apparent that the market, although at
present very easy might,
on the
springing up of any special demand, soon assume a much
closer aspect. The demand for the purchase of the wool crop is
likely soon to be felt; the extent of the requirements for this pur¬
pose is a matter of uncertainty and depends upon the disposition
of the trade to purchase the new clip at the current
high prices.
Prime commercial paper is scarce, and is readily taken at 6@6£
per cent.

that there is but a limited supply of bonds on the market, owing
no doubt, in part, to large amounts

farmers during the winter, as an investment of their profits upon
unusually.profitable C'Ops. At the same time, there has been a
very active speculative movement induced partly by the dulness of
stocks and gold, but stimulated in the first'instance by part es
aware that a resolution was to be incorporated in
the Chicago
platform disavowing any financial policy having the appearance of
repudiation. It was expected that this position, taken with much
firmness by the dominant political party, would have a material
effect upon the government credit in Europe, and foreign bankers
in the secret have consequently been large buyers. The result of
these combined influences has been to put up prices from f to H
per cent, Ten-Forties having advanced from 103J to I04f.
The Government has been a purchaser of Seven-Thirties up to
107£, at which price it suspended purchases, the notes Laving since

The conversion of Seven-Thirties this

largely increased, m anticipation of the early ma¬
turity of the notes, the amount received at the Sub-Treasury to¬
day being $4,450,000. On the 15th June the Treasury will be
prepared to issue in exchange for the June Seven-Thirties a FiveTwenty bond dated July 1, 1868, the holders ot the notes teing

authorized issue of 3 per cent .certificates. Any matured notes
yet to be redeemed will consequently have to be paid in currency;
and we understand that there is no probability of any fresh authori¬
zation of certificates being made for taking up the issues of later
months. The total purchases of Seven-Thirties by the Assistant
Treasurer for the expired portion of this month amount to about
$10,000,000.

The Gold Market.—Gold has been
steady, but firm. The ex¬
ports of specie for the week have b en large, notwithstanding the
shipment of a larger amount of bonds to Europe than was antici¬
pated ; and there is a disposition to hold gold in expectation of still
further large shipments next week. The declaration of the
Chicago
platform in favor of a s rict observance of good faith in dealing
with the public debt,
might have been expected to put down the
premium; and the fact that it had not that effect is only evidence

New York City Banks.—The
following statement shows the
City tor the week
eading at the commencement of business on May 16,1868;
of the firmness with which
gold is held on other considerations.
The effect of the acquittal of the President on the 11th of the
im¬
condition of the Associated Banks of New York
peachment articles, though attended with much excitement in the
Gold Room, had no effect whatever on the
premium, the bearing
of the event having been
anticipated.
The payments of coin interest at the
Sub-Treisury from May 1st
to the present date
aggregate about $15,000,000. leaving about
$6, 00,000 payable at the Sub-Treasury. The Assistant Treas¬

returned to us by mail
following day prices were not sustained, and since then the
quotations have continued to decline, until yesterday Middling
Uplands touched 30c. At this figure there was a fair amount
1,1 of cotton offered for sale, but the bulk of the stock in this
market was held higher. To day, with stronger reports from
I Liverpool, there is some reaction, prices closing from ^ to 1
cent better, with very limited transactions. Holders continue
I to show great confidence ; the receipts and stocks having fallen
I to so low a figure that itis thought the small rernnaut of our
I crop will be needed at even better rates than now offered. Our
will be found the particulars of these telegraphic returns. The own market for goods continue, however, extremely dull, and
details of the receipts (as per mail returns) this week, and spinners are, therefore, purchasing very sparingly, while the
the corresponding week of 1867, are as follows :
demand
for export has wholly ceased. Sales of the week foot
up only 7,112 bales, of which 1,610 bales were taken by spin¬

reaching 12,462 bales, (against 17,3*77 bales last week,
18,075 bales the previous week, and 18,947 bales three
weeks since,) making the aggregate receipts since Sept.
1867, 2,107,148 bales, against 1,712,851 bales for the same

season of 394,297 bales.

THE CHRONICLE.
May 23,1868.]
The market has
had
a
22,1868, P. M.
downward tendency during the past
grains.. Supplies have again ,
become liberal, and quotations from Liverpool show a general
decline, under which orders for shipment have been consider¬
week, except in some coarse
ably reduced.
*
The market
is dull and
heavy for all grades of flour, although
i
particular the receipts have shown no improvement.
approach of warm weather and the decline in wheat
have caused holders to press sales. The business has em¬
braced about 7,000 bbls Extra State, for export to Europe, at
$9 35@9 50, but this demand has ceased in the past day or
two.
The higher grades, meeting a regular trade, and being^
in rather small stock, have been better supported.
"Wheat has begun to arrive in considerable freedom from
the upper lakes, and under a steady decline at Liverpool, with
advance in
cccan freights, prices have declined almost
daily, until the closing prices are lower than we have had to
quote in about eighteen months. The receipts at the lake ports
amount to nearly a hundred thousand bushels daily, with little
prospects of a decrease ; there is a liberal supply afloat for this
market, and shipping orders are reduced to such parcels as
can be gotten forward quickly by steam.
At to-day’s market,
witli Liverpool down to 13s. 6d for No. Spring, it sold for
export at $2 18, and No. 1 do at $2 29, but bids were not
liberal over $2 15 for No. 2.and $2 25 for No. 1.
Corn has been in very large supply, and its condition is
often a little damp, so that shippers have been obliged to act
with great caution, but the demand for local consumption has
been very large, and with a moderate storing of current sup¬
plies, the close is firm at $1 10@1 12 for New Western
Mixed afloat, while Old sold at $1 16.
Oats have varied under speculative influences, closing dull
at an advance of lc. since Wednesday.

TEA.
A
steady improvement in the demand for Greens, Japans, and later,
for Blacks, has characterised the
course^of the week’s business, and
this has been accompanied by a proportionate strengthening and ad¬
vance in prices.
The line tra te, which did not at first fael the advance,
is now fully affected by it, and in both invoices and lines a very active
business is done and sales are made without difficulty at rates higher
than any prices previously current since the opening of the present sea¬
son.
Sales have been made of 18,228 half chests Japans, 11,862 do.
Greens, 8,600 Amoy Oolongs, 2,786 Foochow, and 2,700 do. Souchongs.
The imports of the week include only a small lot of Green tea per

Hong Kong, March 24, 1868.—Messrs. Olyphant & Co.’s Circular
reports of Tea—-The season is low fast drawing to a close, Shanghai
b ing th<* only China port at which there is now
any stock, and that
stocs is but a limited one.
Contrary to our expectations, two more
vessels have been laid on at that port, both of which have before loaded
teas, carrying together about 1,280,000 lbs., but whether both now
receive full carg es is very doubtful. There is now no vessel on the
berth at either of the Japan ports. The Monkchester will have about
350,000 lbs. teas, and the Chaaeze not over 650,000 lbs, so that even if
the two vessels loading at Shanghai receive full cargoes, our estimate of
export will not be much exceeded. The falling off io the export of
Congou and SouchoDg becomes more marked as the season draws to a
close, and will be about 8.000,000 lbs. under that of last year. The
export of green teas to America compares favorab y with th it of last
year, and will not exceed 13,000,000 lbs. for the season, if it reaches
that amount.

?
requirements of the trade, to work off the
excess of stock
they may have to carry. Prices are unsettled,
but in two or three cases there is a slight reaction from our
previous quotations. 'This is to be attributed to the agents
declining, generally, to accede to the rates offored by Jobbers
in the way of u drives,” and, when the goods were all sold out,
a return to
higher prices appeared inevtiable. In some in¬
stances, however, the agents have agreed to a small concession,
and in others, when a protective or guarantee policy is pur¬
sued, they are waiting for orders from head quarters before
taking any decisive step. Altogether, the Spring campaign
has not been so successful as had been anticipated, but there
has been great foresight and prudence shown in every branch)
and the prevailing impression is that we shall have a good Fall
trade, especially if the crops are as abundant as they now
promise to be.
