COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.

GOVERNMENT loans lead the market,
under steady and material advance in
prices. The demand for shipment is
steadily on the increase, and is strength
ened by daily advancing prices in the
European markets. The investment
demand III the home market is also
good, and probably finds warrant in the
belief, now general, that the present
Congress will not do any direct act to
impair the credit of the debt, but will
pass out of existence without any at
tempt to alter the rate of interest or its
present mode OF payment in coin. This
will serve as a precedent for the next
and all succeeding Congresses. The
interest having been paid from the first
in coin, 1t is hard to get behind the fact,
and while demagogues may declaim,
grave legislators will hesitate to give
their vote to a discreditable and dis
honest act, 80 that payments of interest
in coin will probably go on until the
credit of the Governments promise
will be raised to the par of paper, which
will end all further cavil on the sub
iect, and confirm the fact that 5.20s are
the most productive and desirable secu-
rity on the market. 1t seems to be u
pretty well settled fact that any further
increase OF the funded debt will be ar
rested by direct act OF Congress.

WE learn that an unusually large
amount of mutilated and worn out
bank notes and fractional currency is
steadily going to the treasury for re-
demption, and the call for new money
has been so great that the currency
bureau was not able to meet it without
drawing on what was printed some
time ago. 1t is ascertained on inquiry
that we have made a good deal OF our
money of shoddy paper, that is, of mu-
tilated notes ground up in the Treasury
Department and made over again. The
currency from this stock printed by
the hydrostHtic process proves to be of
very inferior quality, and of course is
easily worn out in handling. Orders
have been given that no more grinding
up of old notes shall be done, but that
hereafter only the best kind OF new
stock shall be used in making Govern
ment money.

MADRID, February 10.

MADRID, February II.
The Constituent Cortes was formally y
opened yesterday with great ceremony.
The city was prOfusely decorated In
honor OF the event; crowds were in the
streets; flags were flying, and the day
was regarded as a holiday. Serrano
delivered an address on the assembling
of the Deputies.
He said that the nations of Europe,
in attaining higher degree OF civiliza-
ton, threw off the traditional bonds
which fettered the public mind. Spain
delayed for a long time following the
example of her neighbors. She now
calls on her representatives to construct
new ediEce. Tho revolution has
achieved bloCdless victory. The
strength of the nation has not been i'm
paired, but the extravaganza of tho
former administration has disorganized
and embarrassed its finances. The
Government relies on the COrtes TO
remedy this by economical reforms and
changes in the administrations; by wise
legislation in regard to the public
debt and payment OF the interest there
on, and by economizing the expenses
of the army and navy. The fundamen-
tai principles of the radical liberalism
which had been adopted in relation TO
religion, the press and education, by the
Provisional Government, must now be
consolidated by the action of the depu-
ties. Our revolution hero is not respon-
sible for the rising in Cuba. That is
due to the errors of the past govern
ment. LIE expressed the hope that the
insurrcction there would be speedily
extinguished, and that tranquility
based on reform would be durable. He
predicted that slavery would be
abolished without precipitation and
without compromising the pros
perity of the Antilles. In con-
clusion he congratulated the coun-
country on the good relation with for
eign nations as now more intimate than
nUpr hnfOra
