Such appears from the dispatch to be the general tenor of and there is litile reason to doubt that it substantially represents the correspondence between the two Governments, or that it offers a basis on which the whole difficulty may be and perhaps has been set at rest.

Should Great Britain propose to stipulate that, in the event last contemplated, make no complaints or claims against the United States any indirect, remote or consequential injuries or losses resulting from a failure to observe their neutral duties, the United States, by accepting the suggestion, would gain an important conshe will for cession.

FlNANCyi REVIEW OF THE MONTH OF APRIL. The month opened with one of the closest money markets annum. The banks, as in the previous month, were extreinely poor in their legal tender reserves and held at the first of the month about $3,000,000 in excess of the 25 per cent legal requirement, and this excess was subsequently reduced to the insignificant sum of $892,675, as appeared by their statement of the 13th of the month. This low condition of ihe bank reserves was taken advantage of by parties operating for a decline in stocks, to withdraw from channels about five millions of greenbacks, and business this means to reduce the supply of loanable funds to such all those who were 115X 115K 108X t08X .... 115% 115X 115% 115% for mon. 5-20, 5-20, 1862.ilc67.

How THK Bank op Francr Gets Oold.— An intelligent oor- respondenl referring to the article on " the Price of Gold and the Bank of England rate of Discount," quotes our observation that "the Bank of France must have some better method than the Bank of England to replenish its gold reaeives, and that it may be some simple but effective methnd, such as the buying of gold from foreign markets." In coiifirraation of this* remark be observes that Mr. R. U. Patterson, from whom we quoted, the author of the " Science of Finance," and a high authority in EuKland, gives sub.stantially the same explanation in his work The Economy of Capital. On page 242, in Bhickwood's Loopublished in 18(15, Mr. Patterson says " It is worthy of notice that in times of crises the Bank of France adopts a different system from that pursued by the Bank of England. The Bank of England seeks to obtain gold by raising its rate of discount, whereby our whole industry is checked and employment " don • e iition, : The Bank is restricted. raising of rate to a similar its France, on the other hand, avoids extent— u refuses to check industry, and subject the community to such a strain nevertheless, it ob78X rax 79 71X 77X tains gold by a process quite as eliicient as that adopted by the 85 8SX 77 78X 77 119X 119 120X 119 130X Bank of England.

The difference between the two methods is that in tended to prevent any buoyancy in the price, as gold was too supplying itself with specie, the one bank gets high rate of disheavy for carrying. Immediately after the relaxation in money, count, and the other gives them.

To this holds the opposite doctrine it takes no steps to obtain specie, but simply deters its customers (at what cost to the community influence was also added the circumstance that the Secretary of we have shown) from asking for gold or for notes either.

Bischofl'sheim and Goldschmidt have announced the issue of the balance of £340,000 seven per cent rental bonds of the Atlantic and Great AVestern Railway Company. The total amount of these bonds is now £1,100,000. They are issued in sums of £300 each, at the price of 88 per cent. The prospectus of the Atlantic and Great Western Telegraph Company continues to be advertised, so that it may be inferred that the subscription list has not yet been filled. An effort has been made to drive this company out of the field but the directors seem determined to carry the scheme through. We have had a week of very dry weather, and of cold northerly and easterly winds. Last night there was a sharp frost, but the days arc brilliant, and, although the wind is cold, the sun shows its power, and the lifTect of the wind is greatly mitigated. The contrast, however, between the day and night temperature is very great. The wheat plant looks remarkably strong and vigorous. 1'he late dry weather has, in fact, had an excellent eSect, and so far as wheat is concerned, there is a most encouraging prospect. On light soils, however, and on those especially which have been sown extensively with spring corn, a gentle fall of rain would be ; 5 7 RX ctrcoUr; extremely beneficial. The grass has not made much progress of late, but as there is a good bottom to it, a great change is likely as soon as growing weather has fairly set in. The prospect with regard to fruit is, with the exception of wall fruit, encouraging. The following statement shows the imports and exports of cereal produce Into and from the United Kingdom since harvest, viz., from Aug. 26 to April 13, compared with the corresponding period in the three previous seasons cwt Wheat Leipzle 4J^ had the effect of im- : IMPORTS. 5 Antwerp Bremen in the rates for discount has ; 8X-3.!< proving the exchanges.

Jay and the principal Banks and Bankers Pacific st., throughout the country, are a combination of a first-class Railroad Security with a Real Estate Mortgage upon property worth treble the issue of the Bonds. Their large and rapid sale, both at home and abroad, and their absorption by Savings Banks and other conservative moneyed institutions, show at once their popularity with the people and their high credit among financial men. The Bonds are offered by the agents at par and interest in currency. They are exempt from United States tax, and bear 7.30 per cent, interest in gold.

Wa Mch.35 , The Gold OTarket.-Gold, after selling at 113 on Saturday last declined early in the week to 112^, but has since been stronger, and sold to-day at 113i, closing at 112J. The market has still been sulijoct to speculative control, and in addition to the influences noticed in our last report, the rumors of possible hostilities between the United States and Spain has been used to advance the premium. In regard to an export demand for specie it should be remembered that the .shipments of last year had no speedy and remarkable effect upon the price of gold, as the highest price made in May was 113i, in June 113^, and in July 113}. At the Treasury sale of $3,000,000 on Thursday, bids amounted to Customs receipts of the week have been $2,976,000. $6,430,000.

It might be supposed that there would be a certain price at or near which t'very legitimate enterprise would enter the market with its demands for capital, and that those which fell below the usual rate would fail to attract investors, while those which exceeded it would excite suspicions of their unsoundness. But such does not appear to be precisely the fact and there are numerous railroad enterprises always competing for loans in this city at very difTerent rates of interest, all of them claiming to have good prospects of becoming prosperous and Bubstantial companies. Taking, for instance, the list of new loans, as puolished on page 550 of The Chronicle of April 27th, we find that among It is ; twenty-five leading way from 94 railroad a for 6 per the loans, prices bond gold cent vary to the all 95 for an per cent, gold bond, showing a vast difference in the rates 8 which different companies pay on their loans. It is not an altogether fair conclusion to assume that the soundness and prospect of ultimate succees of each company is exactly proportionate which they pay for money, though such is unquestionably the general view taken by capitalists and financiers. There are, however, some other elements to be considered to the rate of interest —the " from any of the courts <,f the United Stales, u> Mil any rallroad^nhli HliS.' either in whole or in part, for which the Atale 1^ or Sir blfc^e iShU SJ.' account of having Indorsed or Issued bond, in aid of the eonstnictlon of loch road, the Governor Is hereby authorlicd to bid for such rmd at anv .neh sale, to the full extent of the liability of the 8Ute so contracted" and If thi State shall become the purchaser, to resell the same for ihe amount of snch liability, including the prlnrlpal and Interest, retaining the title until the onr chase money shall be paid, and taking such further security for Us Darmeat aa ^j-.»..v may be necessary. — Under this act the Governor recently ^ugbt in the Alabama A Chattanooga Railroad at the sale in bankruptcy. His action, however, seems to bo very differently regarded, for while it is approved by some it is severely criticised by others, as an unfavorable move for the State. We find the following in an Alabama paper " Regarding the State now as the purchaser of the road, tbe estimated liabilities of the State on account of the company may be roughly stated in round numbers, as follows Indorsed bonds on which Interest has already been paid by the Governor $4 Interest already paid on said bonds by the Governor Expenses and liabilities of Ulndrat's receivership under the Governor Fees of lawyers employed by the Governor In Alabama, Mlselaalppi, Georgia and Tennessee Taxes due on propertv of company to State the Governor had not bought the property for the State yeshad allowed the bidder who bid $311,000 for the property to become the purchaser, thin the purchaser would have held the property subject to every lien of the State, and would also have relieved the State of very heavy items." PlttsbnrKb, Cincinnati we desire to place before our readers the them, together with the names of the bankers they are offered, and thus enable them to form their own opinion of the security and probable success of each particular enterprise. It would not be within our province to speak details of each of by whom decidedly in favor of certain loans or against any others, but, with the facts before them, our subscribers can form a satisfactory opinion in regard to the merits of each.

This amount appears in the accounts as part of the "Cost of Road and Equipment." The means whereby this outlay was met, were derived mainly from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and with similar expenditures previous to 1871, form the greater part of the indebtedness to that Company, which as stated above is $3,049,893 31.

This preferred stock is then, virtually, a substitute for and representative of that amount of second mortgage bonds. Upcn their maturity the new issue of bonds for their redenip tion was increased to ,$330,000 (to cover accrued interest thereon), and as the bonds and the preferred stock then bore the same rate of interest, the conversion of the one into the other, as might be The desired by their respective holders, has been allowed. preferred stock has the single atlvantage of being registered and transferable on the Company's books, but many prefer foregoing this, for the convenience of collecting their interest by coujions, and the greater facilities of transfer, &c., afforded by the bonds.

Fridat Evening, May .3, 1872. The general tone of this market has improved considerably during the week, and all goods are now held with much firmness confidence. The most noticeable feature has been the bill abolishing the duty on teas and coftee, and a revival of interest in these articles, an increased trade call prevailing, and some inquiry for speculation.

The movement to early in the week was a little slow and uncertain, influenced some extent by the continued delay in the settlement of the duty question, still holding their orders close down to a basis of actual necessities. Holders, however, as a rule, were disposed to look upon the position as generally favorable, and while none were urging sales, a few had entirely withdrawn their stocks of desirable grades and looked for a higher range of values. Fine and choice greens were undoubtedly the best sustained, and indeed had somewhat advanced of late, but other qualities could only be buyers bought at full former figures, and in a general way ruled steady. The somewhat sudden announcement of the removal of the duty however, at once put an entire new face upon the position of affairs, and in place of the previous apathy, buyers not only became .anxious but excited, and the call for goods in bond was quite liberal with advanced rates bid, and sellers in many cases very materially increased. Oolongs met with the greatest amount of attention, with extensive sales effected in part to the trade and partly for speculation, and desirable parcels are now quite scarce. Other styes, however, sympathise, and are thought likely to move soon, the general market for invoices showing quite a healthy tone. The line trade has not improved, and It is thought will continue slow until after July Ist when the new law goes into eftect. Sales of about 20,00J pkgs. Oolongs, 5,600 pkgs. greens, and 4,800 pkgs.

COFFEE. The opening week was again quite a dull one on the wholesale market, and importers generally were obliged to carry the large and accumulating stocks and make still further additions to their expenses, simply because there was a fixed determination on the part of buyers to handle just as of the past coflees as possible, until the store were low, duty question became solved. Stocks in some jobbers in fact almost bare of supplies, but they held to the idea that their safety lay In purchasing merely enough to carry them known and urgent needs, and hence the very light general call. continued nominal to a great extent, but the recent declines noted in our tables seems to have reached about sellers' limits, for the present at least, and further concessions of importance were not allowed, though now and then a slight shading was made in order to hurry negotiations. Late on Wednesday afternoon, however, the trade were agreeably surprised by the announcement that the tariff question had at last been settled, and since that time the market has shown a material improvement, aud the tone as compared with last week is healthy and encouraging. As the duty is not removed until July 1, it is thought that purchases by small jobbers, consumers, &c., will drag somewhat until that time, but there is every probability of more liberal sales in bond, and knowing now just where they stand, an immense relief is afforded the trade generally, and they can work understandingly. A great many operators, under the excitement of the change from complete prostration to a good prospect of doing a fair business, are inclined to talk very buoyantly, and call prices decidedly higher, but as yet we do not see any warrant for quoting much of an advance Buyers now simply name a price, something above what forced sales could have been effected at a short time ago, and in many cases are not yet up to the quotations for some time given as nominal values, and these would, in fact, have to be reduced rather than advanced to show the actual position of the market. Still as the new order of things has scarcely had time to fully develop as yet, all figures had best be looked upon as nominal, with the understanding that probably within a week or ten days matters will assume a somewhat more definite shape.

The market for foreign descriptions has developed no new features of geneour last report, the volume of business proving fair, but not and prices about as before, with probably a slight shading on some of the poorer qualities. From grocers the call is more or less restricted by the absence of interior buyers and orders, and the purchases for trade use have been simply of such parcels as were required by the most absolute necessity, while refiners though handling a few cargoes were by no means anxious, and seemed to be quite particular as to quality, and their wants as to quantity easily met. Importers, however, finding only a small accumulation to carry and the prospect that arrivals are not likely to run verj- large, have refrained displaying any unusual anxiety, and ask comparatively full figures for all the upper grades. Domestic has ruled very firm and buoyant, the stock being under complete control, and owners naming pretty much their own terms. The demand was not active, but still a fair number of buyers were in attendance every day, and appeared to accept the position quite willingly. Syrups were dull early in the week, but have since met with a little better demand and arc firmer, especially the fine grades, which are Influenced by the advance in sugar.

The more encouraglnj tone on raws noted In onr last has greatly increased and the general market during the period under review has developed much strength, with probably a healtlilor feeling extant than at any time since the appearance of the new crop. The arrivals have been fair. Indeed rather exceeded the outlet, and stocks accumnloted on all grades, but receivers were quite willing to store, and only odd lots of common from pier were offered with any show of freedom whatever. The recent upward turn of gold was o' ,ome advantage to the selling Interest, but Importers look much further than this, and seem to consider the prospect as very encouraging The supplies are by no means marketed yet, of course, but the first general rush is over and future receipts are likely to come along In such a steady, uniform manner as to be controlled with comparative ease and an undue accumulation afloat prerented thi! accounts from Cuba are very firm as to values, and In many cases show no profit at rnllng rates here, while advices from Europe Indicate thit the market* In that direction are Improving, and will In all probability attract considerable supplies. There Is also a better outlook on the domestic distribntion, as reports again come to hand of small accumulations in the interior, and a probability that buyers will soon commence to re-stock with the opening of navigation. The demand during the period under review has been a cautious one. buyers rather objecting to and resisting the advance, but still the wants of refiners liavc increased, and they were compelled to handle very fair amounts of stock, while there has also been some speculative inquiry and a few onrchases for export, the latter mainly from the very choice grades of centrifugal goods. Refined goods have been in pretty quick demand, and the production disposed of about as fast as ready, with prices still on the upward turn and a further advance established on most grades.

The weather hasbe^n very mild throughout the country, and the retail demand coming somewhat later than usual has been more than ordinarily active. lu the large cities a liberal trade has been aone, and second orders liave come in by mail for large amounts of staple and fancy goods. Resident buyers lor out of town houses are in the markat to some extent mainly for some of the less staple qualities of goods, as their large purchases of staples made earlier in the season have not become exliausted as yet. The general business of the season thus far has been fully up to expectations and in the aggregate a considerable for goods to replenish stocks reported, notwithstanding the fact the trade began unusually late. Collections have been fairly prompt, and the finances of the trade are in a reatonably healthy condition. Long credits have been granted in many cases, but outstanding bills are met at maturity. Domestic Cotton Goods.— The features of the trade in do mestic cotton fabrics have not been particularly marked, and there is but little to note beyond a continued steadiness in the tone, with, perhaps, some improvement in the aggregate movedemand from the interior. in consequence of the increased Prints have sold well in light effects, with the choice continuing and fresh colors. Prices are stifT, but without improvement. Brown and bleached cottons are moving with some freedoi^. in assorted lots, and continue fairly firm at previous quotations. Colored cottons are quiet and firm at full figures. for trailing patterns — Domestic Wool.en Goods.
