COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.
The Heavy Export of Gold from New
York Last Week Explained.

A combination OF, circumstances contIibut-
ed to produce the large export OF nearly nine
the May coupons on FiYe-tWentitS held In
Europe, Increased our foreign Indebtedness
eight to nine millions OF dollars, which had
the foreign money markets has compelled
bankers and speculative holders OF
6-2lS In England and Germany TO send home
q large amount of bonds Tor realization. The
amount thus returned Is estimated in the
European circular of L. ?. Morton Co. At
ten or twelve millions, for the last thirty days
We have, therefore, q sudden addition TO our
foreign Indebtedness OF nearly twenty mil
lions from these sources. At the same time,
there has been an important curtailment OF
our ordinary supply of bills for remittance.
The decline In cotton at Liverpool and the
failure of some firms to honor their cotton
bills have rendered this class OF bills almost
unstable on this market; so that we have,
with an enormous increase in the demand
for exchange, an important falling Off In the
supply. Moreover, the correspondents OF
foreign banking firms, IN this city, have re-
rather than OF bills, in order to strengthen
their position In the present disturbed con-
dltion OF European finances.
1t Is not surprising that, under such a con-
juncture of circumstances, we should have
shipped nearly nine millions Of gold last
week and eleven millions within the last
three weeks.
II may be, perhaps, reasonably expected
that the present. week VIII see SCI, me . END OF
sent home have constituted chiefly the float
ing supply oil the foreign markets; and the
drained of their stock Is likely to create a
strong upward rebound in the price; which
would be only strengthened, in tho event OF
actual war in Germany, from the desire of
holders OF other securities TO invest ia stocks
not likely tobe affected directly by HOSTILE
ties. The Immense amount OF gold sent out
last week will afford very material relief to
the money markets or Europe; and that
relief Will cause dealers and speculHtors in
our securities to bring back the major part OF
what they have returned. The movement
Is to be regarded as merely one of the tenn
porlry results OF n monetary pressure, to be
followed, as IN all such cases, by an opposite
reaction. 5f a.
In all former periods of large shipments OF
specie, the movement has usually fallen or
TO a nominal amount after ABOUT ten 10 flf.
teen millions or gold has been exported, in-
dicating that that is about the limit to which
adverse balances, requiring settlement in
specie. usually run. l.4 - ~
The action OF the Treasury in supplying
this extraordinary demand from Its vaults Is
highly prudent. But for this course, the pre-
MUM would have been forced up by specu-
lative maneuvres TO probably ll09l45, with
much consequent arrangement to affairs
generally. The Sub-TreasuTy let out In this
way, about ten millions of gold last week at
1S01z9l3gZ, and Is still prepared to sell any
amount at that price. 1l.ff 5iU

wAsHINeToN, MAY 22.-Mr. Will
son, from the Committees on Mill
.tary Affairs, and the Military Conn
mittee, to which was referred Senate
Bill No. 2O7, to provide for the equali-
zation of bounties to the soldiers In the
late war of the rebellion, presented a
bill and written report. The report
says it has ever been the policy OF the
government of the United States TO
keepia small standing army in time OF
peace and to rely upon the patriotism
of the citizens to fill the ranks of its
military forces in time ofwar- The
experience of three quarters of a CEN
fury has amply vindfcated this policy.
Every citizen of the United States lia-
BILE to do military duty is justly held to
owe to the government in time of pub
lie danger in return for the protection
given hun, his services, his blood. and
III need be, his life. While a citizen
owes military service 10 his country,
the country in return is sacredly bound
to recognizeiand, justly reward the mil
itary services rendered by the citizen.
