FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Secretary lGcOulloch authorizes the sta-e-
meat that the amount Of greenback currency
now In the Treasury is less than at any tine
since the close Of the war; the bulk of the Tress-
ury balance being IN gold. The amount Of gold
now In the Treasury exceeds $1,000 100, as is
shown by the books Of the Treasurer Office.
The greenback currency now in circulation
amounts to $3.50, 0OO,0uO authorized by law, and
the fractional currency to nearly $50, 0'.0oO
adding to this the amount of national bank cur
rency in circulation, which nearly reaches the
limit Of .0OO there is paper circulation
about 500 ,OGO,Ot0. 49, =
The New York money market shows par
tial relief from the extreme stringency of the
early part Of this week. The rate remains firm
at per cent. on the best collaterals. The
decline Of the Sub-Treas ury balance from 81 s.
10000 to Sf01, 2tNU0 Wednesday, is the meas.
ure of relief afforded by the Treasury TO the
market. This decrease of S4,6O0,0O is due to
large Department disbursements, and to the
purchase of Seven-thirty notes. The currency
balance in the hands of the Government at the
close of Tuesday was something below
S19,0tO00c, the lowest point touched within two
years. Under these circumstances, it is clear
that the Government is not In position to do
mt Gu more than 1t has to ease the market Dis
counting operations are, to a large extent, held
In suspense TO meet the very active demand for
call loans. Prime paper is nominally 7aS per
cent.

ENCOURAGING STATE OF ArrA1Rs.-General

ENCOURAGING STATE OF AFPAIRs.-General
Howard yesterday received a report from Dol.
Sprague, Assistant Commissioner of the Bu-
reau for the State Of Florida, in which he states
that the conduct of the freedmen has been
good, and the prevailing disposition is to devote
themselves to honest industry instead Of idlin z
about towns. The past season was discoura-
ging and without reward, but the planters are
encouraged from the disposition among freed.
men to renew their contracts to look upon
this as a misfortune only. The conduct Of
the freedmen during the political excitement
incident to elections and the assem- bling of the
convention at Tallahassee has been very salts
factory. The influential leaders among the
freedmen belonging to the State counseled m cd.
Grafton and an obedience to law. phe
presence OF the military at Tallahassee
had most salutary influence upon the colored
politicians from the Northern States, Colonel
Sprague says. 1t is generally believed that the
Constitution will be ratified by the people. 1t
IL generous and considerable In its provisions
and if confirmed by Congress, Florida may be
considered successfully reconstructed State.
Labor Is coming TO its proper proportions, aud
the freedmen begin to feel the necessity as well
as honor of discharging their duty to employ
ers. Both white men and freedmen are learn
ing by dissppointments and disasters, their de-
pendence upon each other.

TAXES IN WASHINGTON.

In the debate in the House on the District
items Of the appropriation bill the question Of
the rate of taxation paid in the City of Wash
ingtOn, Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, in opposing
those items Of appropriation, said sit is a
fact that desire should be borne in remem-
brsnce that the taxation for the last nine years
IN this city has averaged only eighty-six cents
upon SEQ of taxable property, at valuation Of
not more than one half Its actual value, so that
the actual taxation for this city has been less
than forty three cents on S1OO, while the con-
sthuents Of almost every member on this floor
have been taxed, instead of forty three cents,
two dollars on $50, or two per cent"
Mr.. Lawrence doubtless aimed to be accurate
IN this assertion, but if he will take pains to
inquire little further he will find that II gives
a very incorrect idea of the amount OF tax alton
levied here. Years ago the rate OF taxation
was low here, so cents on the hundred dollars
but IT has year by year mounted up until in
1908 II has reached 81 upon the hundred dol
lars; and with the largely increased expendi-
ture neces sary In the future for improvements
upon scale commensurate with our needs and
Tor the support and education of the immense
contraband population brought here by the
war, II IL quite certain, that our taxes will
speedily mount to those paid by the most
heavily taxed comm unities of the country.
Dir. Lawrence's idea that the rate of assess
ment here is not more than half the value of
property is also erroneous. AT the time of the
last general assessment, in 1854, rents were
high, rial estate was up, and the rate of assess
ment was marked up TO a pretty high figure
IL Is doubtless he case that in one or two rap
idly improving localities In the city the value
o. property has gone up yet higher than assess
ment value, but We are quite certain that in
threc-quaIters of the city this is not the case,
.nd in fact We believe that a large proportion
of the property holders would be glad to sell at
the rate fixed by the assessors

SECRETARY MoCuLLooH has written a letter
TO the Senate Finance Committee N regard to
the bill repealir the taxes on manufactures in
which he says: The abolition Of xhe daty on
cotton will reduce the revenues some $4,000,
900. The bill which has recently passed the
House, and is now before the Senate aboiishing
after the LIST OF May next the taxes on manu-.
factnres and productions imposed by sections
" and 70, act Of June 80, 1854, with cert ain eX-
cepuons, viii, II has been estimated, effect
reduction OF some S6O,OOp,oO0 on the basis of
last year revenues. Should the bill referred
70 become law, think il may be fairly esti-
mated that the total revenues for the next fiscal
year VIII fall from a hundred to a hundred and
twenty millions below the estimates m ade in
my last annual report. II Is exceedingly de-
sirabie that taxes. should be reduced, and L
snould hail with pleasure the proposed reduc-
uon II felt assured that il would be accom-
panied with a corresponding reduction OF ex-
penditures. / am free to say that am greatly
apprehensiye that such a reduction of expendi-
lures Will not be made, and that the revenues
OF the country for the next fiscal year, il the
bill now before the Senate or In the hands of
your committee should become law, will be
insufficient to meet the interest on the public
debt and the current expenses of the Govern
mentn .f

THE WORKING PEoPLH.-All the operative 8
st Spragues cotton mills, at Baltimore,
COnnecucut-the largest in the United States
struck for higher wages yesterday. The mills
stopped work yesterday afternoon The me-
chanics on the New York Central railroad
continue their strike. In Colorado, it
is announced that, OWING to the great scarcity
OF female help, servant girls are getting from

yards one third. One hundred and thirty me-
Chanics have been discharged this week from

t~rs and other wOrkmen were also discharged
A strike among the female employees at Clark's
thread factory, at Newark, New Jersey was
some time ago reported. 1t was a strike against
a reduction OF wages, but a compromise was
made, and the girls returned TO work Since
that time the wages OF the male employees was
reduced ten per cent, to which they acceded
for two weeks, but at the end of that period
they gave notice that they could not live on
the reduced pay. On Saturday last they
struck, the mill owners declining to aecede
TO their demands. AT present the mill owners
are advertising for new hands whilst
the strikers are also advertising warning
othsr workmen not TO interfere in the strike
In New York Tor several weeks past, there has
been strike among SO shoemakers against
an attempted reduction of wages by twenty
reT cent Some of the employers have yielded
10 the strike, bot others have declined to do So
These shoemakers have been supported whilst
on strike by various trade unions in New York
Boetor, Chicago, Troy and Rhode Island The
strikers say that at the reduced wages they can
earn but from 81 to SIP week, when working
l. 10 III hours day; whilst at the former rate,
return to which they ask, they can earn SIS to
