OF the State will be abandoned by the rebels
without struggle. The would be even more
favorable to the stock markst than victory in the
field. The recovery Of Virginia and the occupa-
ton of the rebel capital would be regarded abroad
as the overthrow Of the rebellion, and would be
the signal for large investments of foreign capital
in securities. If, the other hand, the rebels
should prefer to fight, it is believed that our supe
rority in numbers, weapons, artillery and morale
is vas that the issue of the contest could not be
doubtful. and the victory at Donelson would sub
side into inoignicance by the side of our triumphs
in the Old Dominion. IT. simultaneously with the
reports of successful movements in Virginia, we
should receive favorable intelligence from Corinth,
Savannah or New Orleans the effect in Wall street
would be still more startling. We have evidently
reached the crisis Of the war; few days now will
tell the tale.

o mast week and month";

After q week of intense dulness, due in chief
part to the absence of news from the army, the
general railway share list, with two exceptions,
leaves of better than it did at the close of the
week previous. New York Central and Illinois
Central are the only railway stocks which declined
last week-the former being pressed for sale by
operators for the fall, ne latter being unfavorably
affected by the decline in its traffic owing to the
continued blockade of the river. The other rail-
way shares those of Michigan and Illinois, and of
the roads nearer home as the Erie and Hudson
River, are all shade better than they were
week ago. In view of the remarkable efforts
which were made last week by the bears to de-
press prices, and of the general stagnaton of out
side business, this result must be regarded az
evidence of considerable intrinsic strength
in the market. 1t is generally un.
derstood in the street that the whole railway
share list is oversold, and that an advance of one
to two per cent would create remarkable futter.
ing among the bears victory in Virginia would
probably render Wall street livelier than it has
been since the battle of Hampton Roads.
Government and State stocks are lower than
they were O week ago. The former are supplied
by the banks, and depressed by the offerings Of
bear spectators. They will probably take care
of themselves soon as the present state Of sus.
pense passes away and we begin to realize the re-
suits of the military preparations OF the last six
months Border State stocks have fallen mainly
because they were too high. The successes of
Halleck in Missouri and Buell. and Grant in Ten
nesse, led, some weeks ago, to specu.

States, and virginas and North Carroll.
mas sympathized. There can be no ques.
ton but the movement was premature and
excessive. There is no present prospect that the
interest on any Of these stocks can be paid for
long time to come. At some future period, after
the war, there is every reason to believe that Mis-
souri, will become free State; and when the ra.
wages Of the war have been repaired her bonds
will be worth as much as the bonds of Illinois,
But this is yet long way of. As to Tennessee,
Virginia and North Carolina, there is no prospect
whatever OF any change in their institutions, and,
after the experience Of the last eighteen months,
IL would argue strange imprudencc to invest money
in their securities.
Everything, so far as the stock market is con.
cerned, depends on the military developments of
the next ten days. The impression prevails in Wall
street that our army in Virginia will meet with no
serious resistance, and that Richmond and the res.

port were as f0llows:-

Among these items the large amounts which we
are spending abroad for guns, cotton, turpentine,
&C., are, of course, accidental. In the course of
few weeks such articles will cease altogether to
be imported. But in the meantime these and
all the other articles of import will have to be paid
for and it is evident enough that the chief Of them
must be paid for in gold. The losses already in.
CURED on shipments Of bresdstuffs, and the de.
clinng condition Of foreign markets, arc likely, at
all events for time, to check the outward
movement of food. We have, happily, plenty
of gold in the country which can be spared,
especially as the government issues of paper take
the place of gold in general circulation. To what
premium the inevitable demand for the precious
metal for export may it to rise it is difficult
to forcsee. At present the demand is supplied by
spectators who sell gold Short borrow it when
their contracts mature, and calculate that the in
terest on their sales will yield them handsome
profit. There must come q time, one would sup
pose, when this system will cease to work, and
when the very necessities of these spectators will
cooperate with the demand from the bankers and
importers to cause an advance in gold to con-
siderable premium. The following are the official
tables Of the trade Of the port for the week and

The banks showed last Monday specie average
of ss2 s4l sO2 being an increase of ssls ,4l2 from
the week previous. They have since received from
the Sub Treasury the bulk of the interest money
disbursed on the lst, and will consequently show
an increase tomorrow of about three quarters of
million, while their true reserve at present would
probably foot up over thirty-four millions. How
much of this consists of special deposits and is not
under the control Of the banks it is impossible to
say. There is no likelihood of the banks selling
their coin. A few of them are willing to lend IL
for time, with proper security for its return; but
we are inclined to think that the more prudent in.
stitutons will be very careful how they lend gold
as the speculation in the precious metal has been
carried by some Of our leading housesto prodigious
lengths, and a sharp turn in the market might
lead to unexpected results. The discount line last
Monday stood at sl25 ,02l $50, being decrease of
1858 ,056 from the week previous. A further de-
crease is expected tomorrow, as some Of the needy
banks continue to cell government bonds. bank

ing for. There are but SOS ,OO0, 900 of these skies
aoat and it Is the settled purpose Of the Treasury
Department not to increase the issue. II is as.
sumcd that by the time the $500 900 900 of new
skies come 20 be issued the public credit will
stand on such basis that they will float easily,
though they are rcdeemable after five years.
Hence the skies of 1881 will be the only twenty
year six per cent bonds OF the United States in the
market, and will inevitably be wanted, after the
peace, by European investors, at a premium. A
bank which sells them at 92% 90. under such
circumstances, may be assumed to be in embar-
rasscd circumstances. Some heavy short sales of
these bonds were made last week bv SPECTATORS,
