FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

FRIDAY, April lis r. II.
This has been very duh day. Merchants say
that nothing is doing In general merchandise.
Everybody is waiting to ascertain the result Of the
Union victory at Pittsburg Landing, and the issue
Of the contest on the peninsula in Virginia. There
is no paper making, and such names as were
quoted week ago at seven per cent are
now wanted at six. Bankers short acceptances
would pass readily at S. The expansion Of cur
rency by the interior banks and by the govern
ment Of the United States is producing its natural
effect upon the money market. Call loans are
quoted per cent everywhere to-day. Certificates
Of Indebtedness are wanted at the brokers' at 971.
Six per cent Treasury notes are in demand at
1907. Seven.thirties cannot be bought below
par. These are the first indications Of the general
expansion which is gradually going on, and which,
notwithstanding the present period of dulness and
suspense, must lead eventually TO an appreciation
Of values, unless the fundamental principles Of po-
]itical economy are erroneous.
Foreign exchange fell of to-day, contrary TO ex-
pectation among bankers and brokers. Bankers
bills on London sold at ll2s, and the closing quo
tation was ll2% "a. Francs were quoted 5.021I
5.o3'4. Mercantile bills continue very scarce.
Gold was in better demand to-day, and sold large
ly at the first board at 1919.
The stock market continued this morning TO ex-
hibit lfeless appearance, the only feature being
a moderate increase Of the short interest by some
of the bears. There was no such Offering OF cash
stock as on yesterday and day before. But in 30
dull market as the one we had to-day very
moderate offering on sellers option suffces to put
prices down. Accordingly we have TO report at

The latest and most reliable particulars of the
recent conflict are contained in the statement of
Major MCDONALD, which we copy from the st.
Louis Democrat, who left the field of battle on
Wednesday last, and the special dispatches of
the Chicago Times These accounts state that
but for the gunboats and the timely arrival of
Gen. BUELL's division, the forces under General
GRANT would have been cut to pieces. The enc
my succeeded in capturing a large number of
prisoners, the reports varying from four to eight
thousand, whom they carried from the field sue
cessiully. Our loss, which is stated to be low
estimate, in killed, wounded and prisoners is
put at 10000. The repulse of the enemy does
not appear to have been rout. as both armies
were at the latest accounts encamped within
short distance of each other and BEAuREGARD is
represented to be strongly intrenched with rail

The Procress of the war.

The tide of battle rolls on swiftly, and with
greater and greater successes for the arms of the
Union. Island No. 10 has yielded 10 the forces
which have slowly but surely reduced il, without
loss on our side, and while an immense amount
of munitions of war are lost by the rebel army,
the Mississippis opened for an indefinite distance
TO the advance of gunboats and transports.
The fate OF Memphis cannot be much longer de-
layed, and the probability is that we shall hear
within brief space of time, that the victorious
armies of the Union advancing on the great
cities of the South West. The war has been a
brief one indeed for such grand results already
realized and the next thirty days will add to the
great list of victories. Reyerses may occur at
certain points, but in the main the work will 60
on from success to success. And this because
of the overw helming power which the Union has
brought to bear. IL will be recalled, though it
does not appear to be well remembered, that
when the begun, the universal sentiment of
the North was in favor of organizing at once an
army whose magnfcence and power should para
I'VE all resistance, and make blood unnecessary
| This was and is the true method of settling
civil war. Instead Of the varying fortunes of
nearly equal contestants, If one is great and so
strong as TO present to the other the hopelessness
of resistance, not only will this end the war, but
it will also end il IN way which is much easier
forgotten by the weaker party, than would be al
ternate victory and defeat in battles. But weare
sorry to see that many of those who counselled
this policy last spring have forgotten their coun-
sells, and are now clamorous for fighting, any
where and everywhere, and fierce in denouncing
1 the long and patent labor which has made
army invincble. The last two months, surely,
have proved the wisdom of the other policy. To
make an army required time. II is not rabble
that General wants, nor even a great mass OF
willing, active men. These are the material out
of which to form an army, but they must have
discipline, experience ana arms. In the accout
already published from Yorktown, it has been
noticed that Berdans Sharpshooters are occupy
ing an honorable position Wenote the fact that
here is regiment doing important service in the
present grand advance which has received its
