natural consequences of this state of things is that these gen¬
tlemen in certain difficult cases, have had, not only to inter¬
pret but authoritatively to fix the laws.
An awkward and perplexing conflict of opinion has also
sprung up in the case before us. The Internal Revenue De¬
partment interpret the law as authorizing them to collect
from brokers a tax of one twentieth per cent on all sales of
stocks whether belonging to themselves or to other parties.
On the 7th July, Judge Nelson, in the United States Circuit
Court for the 8outhern District of New York, decided sub¬
stantially that the tax in question is legal so far as it applies
to sales made by brokers for their customers, but illegal so
far as it applies to sales made for themselves of their own
stocks. Notwithstanding this decision, and before any higher
court had time to overrule it, the Assessors and Collectors
received instructions to enforce the payment of the tax.

and soon becoming saturated, forms a sort of sponge through
which the water extends, and continues to be a permanent
source of humid and noxious exhalations.
But a swamp,

neither drained or removed.
All such localities are easily
traceable in this city by the peculiar and frequent diseases
always there prevailing.
The plan of sewerage was adapted only to the require¬
ments of a village; and thougli hardly sufficient at the out¬
set has never been enlarged or improved to any considerable
extent.
Every subsequent addition made the matter worse,
till at the present time the state of things is actually fright¬
ful ; there are many houses with no sewer at all, privies over¬
flowing into the yard, vacant lots converted into cess-pools,
streets ankle-deep with feculent matter, for which no outlet
was ever contemplated.
Another reason of the general defectiveness, is that the
sewers have been constructed at different times by different
persons. One district has been drained by a contractor
utterly ignorant of the condition of the sewerage in the ad¬
joining district; and so the sewer from one block has been
let into the sewer of another, without a thought as to its
capacity to perform this double function. It seems often to
have been the sole object to get the waste matter out of
sight somewhere, and be through with the contract. Among

this subject of sewerage was brought
before the committee of the Legislature of New York.
Health bills, vesting sanitary power in the hands of Com¬
missioners were annually introduced, matured, and then de¬

good fortune than its predecessors, adopted another means to
reform the drainage of the city of New Nork.
Instead of
erecting a new department, it passed an act devolving
the whole subject upon the Croton Aqueduct Board.
The
act provides that the Board shall divide the city into sewerage
districts, and prepare maps or plans for the location, course,
size and grade of each sewer or drain proposed for each dis¬

other schemes of cheap transportation to enable our forwar¬
ders to undersell European Corn merchants in the British mar¬
ket, true commercial sagacity will dictate that we shall find
other outlets for our surplus products, and also to change our
production so as to furnish the British and other markets
with those articles which are actually required.
For example, every steamer from Europe brings intelli¬
gence of the great mortality among cattle by the destructive
rinderpest. It will take years, after the scourge shall have
ceased, to rear animals to make good the losses. Yet, of
late, the consumption of beef in England has largely increas¬
ed.
We, too, have experienced a large reduction in the
number of our cattle, owing to the demand created by the
war.
But we have the means to make good the deficiency
at an early day, which Great Britain and Europe have not.
Instead, therefore, of incurring the annual risk of glutting
their markets with grain which can be produced at nearer
points, good sense as well as good husbandry would dictate
that our western agriculturists and forwarders should under¬
take to supply them with beef.
The English market will also be open perennially for
American butter and> cheese. The receipts of the leading
articles of produce at the port of New York for the first
eight months of each of the years 1863, 1864, and 1865*
show a great falling oft' in the receipts of Western breadstuffs ; whereas butter and cheese have largely increased, the

aged its consumption, and thus materially diminished its pro
duction.
Nevertheless, there was ahvays a certain number
of people in England wrho drank port w'ine, and the Portu¬
Government, satisfied to’ supply this trade without
caring to increase it, did every thing in their power, as they
thought, to keep the trade to themselves, little imagining that
they would possess it in any event, and would have possessed
a good
deal more of it if they had let matters alone. So
they kept the law w hich had been enacted during the last cen¬
tury in force, forbidding any port wines to be exported in their
pure state, and directing a certain quantity of spirits and
drugs to be thrown into them in order to give them what was
considered to be the English smack.
The result of all this
was, that the product of the country wras stunted; the British
consumer never tasted a drop of pure wine; the cost of pure
wine worth three cents a bottle in Portugal came to be worth,
(with the addition of the English importation duties and
shipping expenses, &c.,) a dollar a bottle in Englarid; and
Portugal, like the host of a small inn who, because he had
spoilt the appearance of his house to suit the supposed eccen¬
guese
period from four millions in 1790 to
thirty-five millions in 1865, while the combined population of
the two countries has advanced from seven millions in 1790,
to thirty-eight millions in 1865.
Find nothing, in either the population or production of the
two countries to explain the extraordinary falling off in their
commerce with one another, which we have noticed, arid we
come to the conclusion that it is due to in a great degree to leg¬
islation. The total value of the annual agricultural products
of Portugal since 1852 (before that year they were much
tric tastes of one guest, never received any other guests,
less), average about $40,000,000, to which the following pro¬

England’s example and endeavored
to secure for the United States some portion of this lucrative

To this cause is

there is every probability of the price being maintained, as the

The iron trade in France has largely developed during the cur¬

There entered Paris during the month of July last
2,606,632 kilogrammes ol iron, and 1,517,095 kilogrammes of cast
metal; making lor the first seven months of the year 12.597,354

shows 15,961,141 kilogrammes of iron, and 9,298,154 kilogrammes

The failing off this year in the importation of iron

The bank circulation of the whole country, North

The circulation of the
country at this time is about three times greater than it was or ever
had been before the suspension of specie payments. The enormous ex¬
penditures of the government, and the sudden and great increase of the
volume of business created by the war, rendered au increase of circula¬
ting medium an absolute necessity. The war is now over, and but a
comparatively small amount of currency will be required by the dis¬
bursing officers of the government, and the business created by the war
has already nearly ceased. The great increase of the volume of cur¬
rency must, consequently, show itself, either by its concentrating at the
bi^siness centre of the country to an extent that will make it a necessity
to nave some mode of redemption provided, otherwise a new impulse
will be given to inflation and increase of prices until employment is

With an inflated currency we cannot compete with
other nations in
manufacturing and producing unless the rate of foreign exchange is en¬
ormously high. The high rate of exchange would be our only protec¬
tion from being flooded with foreign manufactures at a cost much less
than they could be produced for here. No tariff can be an adequate
protection if accompanied with an inflated currency.
This is clearly proved by the fact that we imported as freely when
foreign exchange was up to three hundred as when it was down to its
nominal rate.
The advance in
exchange is, in effect, the same as an increase of tariff
Foreign exchange must advance from its present
rate, or a larger portion of our manufacturing establishments must stop,
and our exports be comparatively light, unless some measure is adopted
tending to the gradual reduction of the volume of currency and conse¬

The Money Market.—-The market has been
moderatelysupplied with funds seeking investment, and money has been
easier than was expected at the close of last week.
The ease,
however, has been rather the resul l of an absence of demand
than of an over-supply ; for the general tendency of monetary
movements is to produce a comparatively light surplus at
this centre.
Currency is still going. South and West, and
large amounts are going into the Treasury which are not im¬
mediately paid out, but are held back to provide for impend¬
ing payments to troops to a large amount. The general rate
to “ Street” borrowers has been five per cent, with occasion¬
al exceptions at six per cent; but a very slight increase in
the demand from stock firms would

Securities.—Governmefit securities have
been active and firm throughout the week.
The reported
firmness of Five-twenties in Europe has tended to keep quo¬
tations strong.
Moderate orders from London have been
executed, and considerable amounts would be shipped were
the quotations here nearer the limit of instructions. There
are very few of the old issue of Five-twenties on the market,
and the supply is kept up chiefly by the exchange of new is¬
sue for old, with financial institutions, who realise about If
per cent by the exchange. The old issue has fluctuated be¬
tween 107£ and 107** ; and the new between 105* and 105f;
Ten-forties are weak, and have- declined from 94f to 93J.
Seven-thirties have been dull and drooping until yesterday,
when under an improved demand the price strengthened.
The 1st and 2nd series close at 99-j, and the 3rd series at
99£, having sold during the week at 9SJ@99.
It is generally understood, upon the street, that Secretary
McCulloch will, on an early day, issue proposals for funding
a
portion of the Compound Interest notes into Five-twenty
bonds; but upon what conditions is not yet known. This is
viewed as being probably the inauguration of a process of
contracting the currency, and has had a general healthy effect
upon the' market for governments, the public being well
aware that the outstanding currency is the weak point in the
national finances. The demand for Compound Interest notes
has been quite active during the week, in consequence of this
circumstance, and prices have advanced. The following are
the rates bid by brokers and bankers for Compound Interest
notes of the respective dates :

market has fluctuated slightly, closing with some
Brcadstuffs have receded from the higher speculative
prices, but show very little weakness.
The
The market for Provisions has been very strong
and Lard has
materially advanced, while Cheese is slightly lower. English orders
for Bacou have appeared in this market, and sales for December
delivery have been made at 18 a 18ic. for Cumberland cut. This
has led to speculative excitement in Pork, mainly on Western ac
count, and prices have slightly advanced.
At to-day’s market, this
speculative support was withdrawn, and prices declined.
We learn
Cincinnati that contracts for hogs have been made for delivery
at that market, at eleven cents per pound, live weight.
This price
means high prices for Bacon and Pork.
New Mess Pork has been
contracted for for December delivery at $30 a §30.50 per bbl., and
Lard at 24c for prime per lb. A great advance must take place
abroad, and there must be a great depreciation in the currency to
from
permit any considerable export at these prices.
The grocery trade has been active and strong, especially in Cof¬
fees and Sugars, and very full prices have been realized.
The sales
of Coffee amount to some
25,000 bags, inciuding fair to good.
Cargoes of Rio at 14 a 15c, gold, in bond. The business ui Sugars
foots up about 11,000 hhds, and 8000 bags ; less active than last
week, but still showing a \cry large business. Molasses and Teas
have been quite active and very firm.
Rice and Spices were quiet,
but firm.
Naval Stores have fluctuated
materially, closing heavy under
liberal supplies. Sales of Fall descriptions of Oils have been made
at higher prices, but the business has been limited.
Metals con¬
tinue scarce, and in Iron, Lead, and Pig Iron, large sales have been
made for arrival. Hides and Leather were active and buoyant
early in the week, and closed buoyant. Petroleum has advanced,
closing quiet. Whisky is decidedly higher and active. Wools
dull, but firm. Freights inactive, but rates well supported.
At the close of the market to-day there is a good deal of ner¬
vousness among holders at the cessation of the speculative feeling,
which is attributed to the decline in gold. It is not improbable
that the speculative strength of our markets will be put to a severe
test, unless the decline in gold shall be averted. To check specula¬
tion without leading to a crash, seems to be the object in leading
financial circles ; but considerable fluctuations can hardly be avoid¬
ed. The state of our currency, and the state of public and private
credit, renders a great advance or decline Ju any staple, a circum
stance by no means wonderful.
The receipts of domestic produce for the week, and since July 1
have been
