BY the above it appears that Mr.. Chase has al
ready within his reach, without any further action
on the part Of Congress- ten hundred and seventy
three millions Of dollars TO meet the coming gears
cx lenses of the government.
The Secretary will probably ask Congress for
authority TO borrow about one hundred millions
more which, with the surplus that will be left from
the above amount, he will desire TO keep as a
serve, and the income from internal taxes falls
seventy millions short Of his last estimate he will
probably recommend increased taxes upon the in
dvidual wealth and enterprise Of the country.
If the home organ of Mr.. Chase in Cincinnati
speaks his sentiments, he will not desire TO in
crease the volume Of paper money beyond his
present power to do so. The journal referred
to thinks il would be better for him te 90 into the
market with his bonds and submit TO having them
sold below par rather than TO attempt to force
any more paper into circulation. The issues OF
the new National Banks and the reserve Treasury
legal tenders, Independent Of the interest bearing
notes, will add to the currency about seventy mil
lions Of dollars, which will be quite sufficient to
relieve any actual stringency in monetary Affairs
that may be yet remaining, and tend TO break
down any attempt TO feign tightness in the
future.
A rumor ia afloat that the Secretary is in favor
of making the National Banks issues a legal tender;
but we cannot think that he will attempt measure
that would be likely to prove so unjust and unpopu
lar. The law upon which the new banks are es.
tabshed makes their bills receivable by the gov
ernment for all dues except duties, and this alone
will be sufficient TO keep them at par in nearly all
parts of the country, which is practically all that
can be desired.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

SUNDAY, Dec. 6, 1863.
The first session of the Thirty eighth United
States Congress will commence tomorrow (Mon.
day., and the Secretary of the Treasury, we are
told, has all his estimates plans for raising reve.
nue., and schemes for borrowing money with which
to carry the government and the war for
other twelve months, made out and printed, and
ready for the inspection and criticism OF the men,
bers of both houses and the people at large. His
intentions have been kept profound secret. and
his financial policy has hardly been hnted at in
monetary circles. Washington letter writer's
however, have been busy with his plans and
his estimates, and each has SO widely diff
fcred from the other that it would be
unsafe TO assume the correctness of
any of their statements. One has said
that Mr. Chase has estimated the coming years
expenses as high as twelve hundred millions of
dollars; another, that he considers nine hundred
millions sufficient; while third is reliably in
formed" that his figures will not foot up an
amount exceeding seven hundred millions. AS a
few hours will settle the question, will not ven
ture an opinion upon the probable amount the
Secretary win require but will conine ourselves
| to a short recapitulation, showing the present
financial condition and prospects Of the country
| The liabilities of the government, as is now gene
rally known, is, in round numbers, thirteen hun
dred millions of dollars, upon which forty-eght
millions Of dollars is annually to be paid for inter
| est. Mr.. Chase will meet Congress with no float
ing debt except the fifty millions of dollars
which he borrowed from the banks on the Sd
of September last, hypothecating therefor nm
printed interest bearing legal tender Treasury
notes To meet the expenses of the next year he
has the power which was granted by the last Con-
gress to issue four hundred millions of the above
referred to five per cent notes, four hundred mil
lions of new six per cent bonds, abeut one hun
dred and thirteen millions remaining Of the FIVE
twenty bOnds-which is called the popular loan
and fifty millions reserve greenbacks; added to all
Of which will be the receipts from customs and
the collections under the internal revenue laws
These items in tabular form, make the following
The New York herald., 1863-12-07

The weather. says the Philadelphia Ledger,
continues highly favorable for the coal trade, the
tonnage for the week reaching 223 504 tons, in
creasing the tonnage for the year to 9l27 III tons,
against 1851, ,62l tons to corresponding time last
year, showing an increase of ,5S9,556 tons. The
prices of prepared coal for domestic uses are still
at the highest point at which coal has ruled IN this
market. The market for lump coal and one or two
okthe larger sizes is by the cargo, trae easier;
but the retail dealers have not abated anything,
and declare that they cannot afford to sell lower
that their profits are not greater than when they
sold coal at two or three dollars less per ton. Be-
sides which there Is active demand at the retail
yards at present prices; decline is therefore at
the best not very probable and if the weather
should early close navigation and continue very
cold, a shortened supply and increased demand
may force prices even higher.
The New Orleans Picdynne of the 2sth ult, in
its market report Of the day previous, thus refers
to the movements of cotton in that city,
