MONEY MARKET.
Sunday, Oct. I7-6 p. M


We have nothing new to report In the money market.
There Is, comparatively, nothing doing in stocks and
prices settled down to about their level and
holders very little to fear from bad from any
quarter Good would give very great impetus
the ances and prices would rapidly rseto about their
former level We daily expecting later accounts
from Europe and hourly looking for sdvces from the
seat Of war The general impression is that intelligence
from both quarters will be favorable Stock spectators
for rise show this to be their opinion by the little dis
position they manifest to reduce the quantity OF stock
they hold We cannot anticipate anything very i'm
porant from Mexico, in any shape. The accounts re-
csiyed relative to the withdrawal Of the American army
from the capital not generally credited and as for
the prospect Of peace universally admitted to be
out OF the question What have therefore, to expect
from that quarter but accounts Of the progress Of the
army in taking possession Of the country and establish

cumstances? Nothing from that quarter 10 to be ap-
pretended and look for from Mexico with more
hope than fear.

TRADE WITH BRAzIL.-Some time since we
stated that the Secretary Of the Treasury had is
sued an order to the collectors of customs In the
different ports, to levy duty of twenty per cent
upon coffee imported into the United States from
Brazil, in the vessals of that nation. AT the time
that order was issued, there was al Brazilian yes.
sci in Boston, and another in Philadelphis, and
it was carried into operation SO as to cover the
car0oes of these vessels II appeared to US at the
time very strange that such measure should
have been so long delayed, if any authority ex-
listed for its enforcement and so we expressed our
selves. Itappears that the Secretary of the Trea-
sury acted upon the superstition that the CON-
mercial treaty, which expired in lS4l, was no
longer the regulator of the commercial inter-
course of the two countries, and the importation
of coffee into the United States from Brazil, in
vessels belonging to that nation, should be regu-
lated by our tariff laws of 1916.
The annexed circular places the matter in ano-
Their and more favorable position;
Circular to Collectors and other Officers Of the Cx.tems
TlEAsuRv DEPARTMENT, October IL le47
Being spprised BY the Department Of state, Of its
belief that since the termination Of the treaty Of the
Brasil which expired on the I2th December ls4l that
the Government Of Brasil has acted in the manner
In regard TO our commerce. and navigation as though the

should for the present be pursued on the
part Of the Government Of the United States
You consequently instructed to admit free OF duty

recly from that country In vessels belonging to that
nation and will also exempt said vessels and osrgoes

r. J, WALKER, Secretary Of the Treasury.
Considerable difficulty has for long time
been experienced, in consequences of commercial
treaties between this and other nations, and our
tariffs, conflicting relative to the rate of duties
charged on merchandise entering the ports of
each, in the vessels belonging to each Com
mercal treaties always have the precedence;
whatever rate of duty these treaties establish, is
enforced, and the tariff in that particular an
nulled. The above circular shows how these
laws operate together. We do not see how
these evils can be remedied; these commercial
treaties are very important things, and cannot
be dispensed with; but in forming new ones they
should be made to agree with the tariff laws as
much as possible. To bring about reform in
his, our tariffs must become more permanent
than they have ever yet been.
