New York Drycooss Marker

New YORK. Aug. Sl.-The drygoods market
Is le5s animated but still fair business is being
transacted with prices generally very firm for all
classes of staple and fancy cotton goods. Wooden
goods are also in fair request and fine fabrics in
novel designs sell freely at good prices, while
inferior qualities still drag.

THE CITY FINANCES.
Important Figures from Official
Sources.
Balance due and outstanding

From this amount are to be deducted the
checks redeemed by the Recorder, ReYe-
nue. and Water Tax Collectors since their
last reports respectively, but not yet ac-
counted iof TO the Treasurer amount con-
sequently unknown.
Assuming that the expenditures for the
remainder of the present municipal year
will be at the same rate as the last eleven
months the total for the year ending, 1st
of October, would be S743,l 73 80, which
would leave outstanding and unpaid on
the present years expenditures $751;
59S 90. This sum added to the outstands
ing checks at the beginning of the year,
would give, without further collections, a
total Of outstanding checks on the LIST of
October, of S253,Sl4 SO. To meet this
there remains uncollecied taxes on the old
books from 1857 to 1866 inclusive, the
sum of 1888, 902 90, and on the books of
1867, the sum Of Sl64, $50 0O--making a
total of uncollected taxes, now due and
payable, exclusive Of interest, the sum of
S29S, 352 90. To this may be also added
the ordinary collections of the Recorder,
Water Tax Collector and Clerk of the
Market.
From this showing it appears that if the
dues Of the corporation were promptly
realized, it could meet all its present obli
cations and have a surplus of more than
$4,000.

These figures will be of service in esti-
mating the course of the money market
during the ensuing autumn. 1t must, how
ever, be borne in mind that financially
affairs have materially changed in the
interval of comparison. Last season there
was no grain crop of consequence to move,
now there is in bushels the largest crop
ever harvested. Then the cotton crop
promised to be small; now it looks az
though 1850, 000@3, 100000 bales may be
produced. The Treasury owed $45, 500,000
of temporary loans, a resource to the banks
equal to legal tender; now that element
has disappeared, together with $47, 100000
of compounds, available as reserve. Since
then $400, 900, 900 of currency debt has been
funded, and $50, 100000 of plain legal ten
ders, killed
1t will be roticed that with all this de-
Ntruction of currency and debt available "a
bank reserve, the banks Of this city stand
waiting to meet the demand for money to
move the crops, with SIS, 100000 less of
reserve to commence with than was held by
them after call loans advanced from Sept.
l, 1866, to Dec. /, 1866, from 394 10 5(D7
per cent. and navigation has closed, with
the bulk Of the cereal marketed. But this
is not all. The Treasury is steadily paying
off compounds and reducing the bank re-
serves, and funding the currency debt into
bonds, thus giving fixed and long employ
ment to what is now floating investment,
having currency privileges at maturit
Superadded to these disturbing causes, are
political complications, which at any mo-
ment may take a form which will alarm
the public creditors, and force upon the
market sufficient bonds to send them to
par, and cause further large exports ofgold.
1t cannot escape the most casual observer
that the time is approaching when there
will be scramble for steadily decreasing
amount of currency and bank credits, re-
sulting in an active demand, al full legal
rates, for money. What effect this change
in rates and competition will have upon
prices of commodities needs little thought.

GENERAL THOMAS DUTIES IN
TENNEGSEE

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer
WASHINGTON, May 2S.- Among the
matters that General Thomas was called
here to advise upoa, is the condition of af-
fairs in Tennessee. 1t appears that some
months ago, Governor Brownlow inquired
of the General whether the State authori-
ties could rely on him (Thomas) for pro-
lection in case of difficulty during the com
ing political contest, and whether there
would be a sufficient number of Federal
troops under his command to quell dis
turbance, etc General Thomas replied
that the Federal troops could be relied on
for that purpose; that the requisite force
would be on hand, etc. In the mean time,
however, Governor Brownlow has proceed
ed to call into active service a State militia
ry force, and petitions have been sent to the
government, asking for Federal protection
from the alleged threatening of tyranny and
usurpation of the State government. The
petitioners say that already the threats of
Brownlow have filled with terror and alarm
the peaceable and law-abiding citizens.
No freedom of opinion is tolerated but at
the risk of life and limb. They say the con-
sistent and unfaltering Union men desire
that General Grant shall send d sufficient
Federal force to protect the people from
the threatened assaults, etc. Upon consid-
Grafton of these petitions, the Administra-
ton determined to send for Gen. Thomas,
and consult with him as to the actual con-
dition of affairs in Tennessee. The matter
was considered in the Cabinet, and it was
determined TO have in readiness such forces
as might be necessary. General Thomas
is to have full power TO act in the premises
as, in his judgment, may seem best for the
public peace and the welfare of the citizens
of Tennessee.
Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-General G. II.
Thomas had another interview with the
President to-day, in company with General
Grant. Gen. Thomas furnished good
deal of information relative to the condi
ton of affairs in Tennessee and the com
plants made to the President by citizens of
that State relative TO the distribution of
arms by the government to the militia.
Gen. Thomas does not return until to-
morrow, and will doubtless go back with
full discretion in the matter of preserving
the public peace in that State during the
