The Secretary OF the Treasury has de-
cfded to at once issue new three per cent.
temporary loan certificates, authorized by
act of March q, 1867. 1t is probable that
if left to his own discretion the Secretary
would not use this loan, but the law makes
it obligatory upon him to do 50. He will
issue enough to redeem the compound in
terest notes falling due the present month
and in December. The law limits the
amount he can have out at any time to fifty
millions.
Secretary McCulloch authorizes direct
contradiction of the report that there has
been an over-issue of fractional currency,
and saws he is confident that if it conld be
called in at once, government would be
found gamer to a considerable extent, by
loss of what has been worn out and de-
stroyed while in circulation.
Twelve national banks have, up to this
time, been put in the hands of receivers.
An examination of the affairs Of the last
reported in trouble, viz: that at New Mil
ford Connecticut was begun by the Comp
troller's direction last Saturday. The ex-
aminer's report will probably be received
during the present week.
The New York Times Of the S0th ult.

The general trade of the past week was
fair, but in the line of dry goods the heavy
importers and domestic commission houses
we're not so we'll employed as the week be-
fore. The former complain that their
auction sales of foreign goods, with some
exceptions, perhaps, went off with less
spirit. The coarser domestic cotton fabrics
feel the influence of the fall in the raw
material, and prices have 10 be marked
down to effect free sales The jobbers, both
city and country, buy in both departments
with marked prudence, though, in the ag-
gregate, the business of the first quarter OF
the fiscal year, ending to-day, has proved
rather satisfactory than otherwise, and
nearly or quite equal to the corresponding
three months of last year. In July 1t was
decidedly behind, but brought up in Au-
gust and September against the drawback
of late Southern trade, large portion OF
which, owing to the epidemic on the Gulf
coast, must go over to October and Novem-
Der. The customs deposited in the Treasu-
~ Office in New York, in gold, for the
quarter, will be estimating for half a
million today $34,783,l44 as against
$50, 792, 149 from July to September 30
last year. At all the ports We can safely
estimate for $47, 100000, the same as in
1865. and against $50, 343, ia in 1866. The
next quarter, October l to December q we
believe will yield Gf we are spared violent
political alarm from Washington S4O, 900
900 as against $37, S03,O27 last year, when
trade fell off suddenly and seriously after
the middle or close ofOctober.
The import entries for the past week
amount to 81, 500, against the total en-
tries of 81. $3.50 same week last year
The export clearances of domestic pro
duce amount to So, 425, 529 against $50, $50,
Clio same week last year. The customs fol
the week are $2,970,000. The receipts o
cotton, coastwise and by railroad, are 3I4l
bales. The number of emigrant passenger
arrived during the week, 7767.
