FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL.


Gold has ruled strong during the week, n
the price has steadily advanced, closing in
New York at 1893.
The Chicago Journal Of Commerce says:
The foreign trade movement, the apprehen-
sion of break in the currant speculation on
the Bourses of Germany, the steady growth
of political excitement in prospect of the
election, and the fear of outbursts in the
South, combined to produced a very feverish
feeling in theG Gold Room. This in cOnnec-
ton with the unprecedentedIy large exports
Ofspecie, and the increasing tendency of the
imports cOncurrently with q falling offin the
exports of produce, have produced an expec-
tation thatt b supply of gold in the country
is likely to be reduced to an unusually low
ebb.
One million dollars of the Alaska money
was shipped on the 5th.

The extraordinary pressure Col
money during the past three weeks
has been u surprise to the most expert.
enced and intelligent fiRnciers of Wal
Street. The cause OF this exceptional
state of affairs cannot be easily ex.
planned in the brief space to which we
must necessarily cOnfine ourselves,
The preparation of the banks for their
quarterly statements do not fully ac-
count for the affair. The mystery may
De all condensed into one very com.
pact sentence: a deficient currency, a
currency without elasticity. The pro-
cess OF tightening the money market
began with the abstraction of the sales
OF the surreptitioOS Erie shares, which
so startled our mercantile community
| at first; and 1t went on increasing in
force, until Saturday last, when a miti.
CATION commenced, and borrowers who
had contracted to pay per cent. in
gold in the morning. found they
could procure all they wanted at 7 per
cent, Tcurrency, In the afternoon.-
On Thursday and Friday the most ex-
orbitant rates were paid by respectable
houses; In some instances a commits.
sion of q per cent. for one day, and in
some cases as high as y per cent. was
paid. at some rate or other, however,
everybody was supplied and tho crisis
was brtdged over, We do not antiCi-
pate any very great change in the finan-
cial situation before the latter part of
the month, when the balances which
have been called from our banking
houses will begin to find their way
back to Wall street. The stock market
has been wonderfully sustained all the
while, which shows great confidence in
the future, and gold has been kept up
by paying enormously for carrying ii.
So many have been looking forward to
the beginning of the present season for
relief and an advancing market that a
reaction was not unnatural. Discounts
bank. and the sale of paper in the street
has been next to impossible, except for
the best names, at 10 to IL per cent.
The week commenced more favorably

clining tendency.
