COMMERCIAL REPORT.


Quiet-Whiskey Firmer.
TUESDAY. April 15-6P. M.
There was no perceptible improvement In trade
matters to-day, the same feeling Of uncertainty
and instability obtaining Ia nearly all quarters.
There no let-up in the stringency OF the money
market, and with continued heavy imports and oc-
casional failures growing out OF them, while the
exports are reduced to an exceedingly low figure,
1t is not strange that fears of financial crisis be-
gin to manifest themselves. With the resumption
Of canal navigation, however, there will, in all prob
ability, be much more active export movement In
breadstuffs, and with a healthy movement during
the Summer 1t Is to be hoped that the sOcalled bal
ance Of trade may be shifted to the right side.
There is no question but that the imports are alto
gether in excess OF the wants Of the country the
amounts In bonded warehouse being immense and
the drain upon the resources OF the country from
this source is unfortunately altogether too heavy,
as is abundantly attested by the outflow OF SPECIE
the hypothecation OF securities &c. The high pre-
MUM OF gold has occasioned no little alarm among
the more conservative OF the mercantile public
and the general arrangement of commercial mat
tiers, 1t Is apprehended will sooner later result
from It, Meanwhile business, though fair In
the aggregate, is 1tful, and IN some de-
partments irregular and unsatisfactory. There
is but little activity in any department OF
trade, yet the volume OF business from day
to day presents very fair showing.
The changes In commercial values which have re-
suited from the advance in the gold premium have
been comparatively few and unimportant but ap.
prehensions OF changes sometimes work more
mischief than actual fluctuations, and apprehensions
will be entertained until gold shall have returned to
somewhere Its normal value, at least become
settled point On Change cotton was dull easier
and nominal Flour and wheat were dull and prices
were in buyers favor. Corn, on tho other hand.
