SUNDAY, March lie Pm.
Nothing Of importance has trarspired In the
stock market during the past week. Money con-
tinues exceedingly abundant, and We do not per
ceive any increase in the demand. This banks are
steadily but gradually extending their line Of dis
counts and in the street five per cent Is The highss.
rate paid for loans on call Any amount can be OBJ
tanned at that rate. and the brokers are daily
besieged With offers TO lend. Fancy stocks wita one
or two exceptions, have not mpr wed much In mar
ket value. The easy money market has not operated
80 fsvofably upon speculation as anticipated sni the
brokers have mot been able to attract toe stteu ion
Of new GLASS of buyers. Outsiders are shy OF
Wall street, and have not forgotten the way they
were squeezed last fall. In view of the position and
prospects of the numerous railroad fan ces, they are
high enough. Reading is, perhaps, an exception;
and events have recently occurred In the affairs Of
that company which place its stock in position
very different from that It has heretofore occupied.
Some weeks since we anticipated the rise which
has since been realized; and % old prejudces
against the stock a. fiuctuating fancy wear off,
1t win be sought AFTER for investment by those who
have abused 1t the most. We have not heard much
during the past day or two about the Cumberland
dividend, but believe it has not been abandoned.
II is the impression that the pexs bank returns will
show reduction In the specie department. The
shipments Of precious metals last week were large,
as appears by the annexed statement:--

has been t6,sls $685. while the spe,Ie imports over

II Congress had directed ope-balf OF the time
and talent TO tie regulation Of the paper currency
and banking movements generally Of tho different
States that II has ~ the regulation OF duties on
imports, We should not have been subject 10 the
enormous expaasion and contractions In financial
sfiArs or 10 the commercial revusions, which have
70 frequently swept over the country, devastating
every section and pro~trating every interest. We
should have been free from the losses which have
been suffered by the failure Of banks and depreciat
ed paper issues. We should have bsen FREQ from
these periodical excitemeits end agtAtions and the
prosperity Of all claAses would not have been at all
times 10 danger Of o collapse. II Ia one OF the
principal points In the constitution that Congress
shall regulate the currency OF tho Union and II IL
more important than any other duty required by the
constitution; Notwithstanding which, we fnd Con
erss doing everything else but this. When our
Legislators at Washington learn, not only the true
interests Of ,he country, but what policy II Is ,es
say 70 pursue to protect and preserve them, We
shalt then hear less Abou. the tariff aud more about
tie currency. until then we shall have no hope Of

or oop.nercial character.

It will be seen BY this that during the embargo and
the tho paper currency Of the country was "a oidy
expanding, 80 that 10 1916 1t had become largely In
fated. This, with peace, gave q great I'm oetus to
speculation, and In 1919 o collapse suddenly oc-

currency created considerable depression In trade,
end for several years the pressure was severe With
occasional revivals. The manufacturers suffered
seriously with every other interest. and, rs We have
before remarked, they turned their attention to q

their losses, and Is q guaranty Of future pros.

put down a. the mar ufacturers' tariff Stimuli.
tneous with the adoption Ct the new tariff, the
banks extended their operations, and the importA.
tons increased, Notwithstanding the increased rates
Of duty. The manufacturers at that time did not un.
ders,and much about the operations Of tbs currency
NJ the foreign trade, and they must have been
much astonished to have seen an additional impor.
tston under higher tariff. The frs. year OF the
rev tariff-1s25-s showed an increase in imports
from $sO549 007 to 500 $40 O75. The enlarged bank

commenced in 1927, wen the imp,rS fell of again
