F1NANCIAL-The New York Post OF last eve
ming says:
Gold opened at 225, and after selling as high
as go, closed at 226. Exchange is moderately
actlve at lG99 lG9x for specie.
The stock market opened strong, and after q
slight reaction closed firm. Governments are
strong. Certificates have ad vanced to 96%, ten
forties to 964, new loan to l0i d, and SKIES of
1881 to HOY.
Railroad shares are active and advancing,
Erie and Michigan Southern being the strong
est on the list.
There are five hundred and seventy -ei ght
National Banks now doing business through
ont the country, with total capital of Sl0S,-
,l30. The National Bank Currency now in
circulation Is So, 500, 410. The amount issued
last week was 80, 49,GS0.
The subscriptions to the seven thirty loan
last week amounted to 81, ,054, ,0G0.
The Commercial Aduertiser says:
The bank statement is interpreted as indica-
ting healthy activity in trade The loans and
discounts stood yesterday at $50, ,OG0 900; which
is considerably above the average of late
months. Compared with late periods, there
fore, the sta tement does show slight increase
in the demand for money, and consequently in
the amount of commodities and securities Of
ferings for sale. Comparing, however, the
present condition of the loans and discounts OF
the associated banks with that OF the same pc
riod for the last two years, we have an oppo-
site result At the same time of 1863, the loans
and discounts were S176,900,0G0, and OF 1862,
Sl76,OG0, 600.
National Banks.-The directors of the Bank
Of Commerce, OF New York, have determined
to organize that institution under the national
banking system. The bank will commence
operations with capital of Sl0,OOO,OOO, under
the title Of 1.-The National Bank Of Commerce
in New York; and the change of organization
will probably date from the Ist January, 1865.
II the bank avails itself of the right to iss ue
but the minimum amount Of currency pro vided
for under the national bank act, it will q id
S3,C00,000 TO the existing inflated currency; it
will, however, be competent to maintain a
circulation of $4,000, 600. The present circula-
tion Of the Bank of Commerce is ,705. IL is
a disheartening system Of the tendencies OF
the times to see rhe largest financial institution
in the country thus lending itself to the pro-
motion Of a stupendous imitation.
Dry Goods Auction-The dry goods market
opened rather tame this week. The attend
ance OF buyers is not large, and the bidding
devoid of animation.
Messrs. Haggerty & Co. had a closing
sale of Saxon woven dress goods, the lmporta-
tiDn Of Messrs. Charles f. SCHNEIDER Il Co;
also, special sale Of linen cambria handker-
chiefs.
The entire catalogue of dress goods, with the
exception OF twenty lots, were disposed of at
prices not materially varying from former
sales. All wool filling Mentaurea checked
sold for Soc; all wool filling Scotch plaids
