to account for the new development OF London
banking. On both grounds the necessity OF the
banks increasing its reserve, at least for the
present, In even greater proportion than its In
velopment OF prosperity such as we have lately
had brings special dangers. The movements OF
business become stronger than in quiet year like
1869, and the banks which hold the reserve should
anticipate greater fluctuations. The new exchange
business ia also business oil q sort which is nat
uraly apt to cause violent fluctuations. The scale
OF international transactions is greater than home
transactions, and the settlement ordinarily liners
much larger transfers Of bullion from place TO
place, While accidents are OF constant occurrence
to cause great changes. For this new exchange
business, therefore, it would be prudent to pre-
that business played smaller part in our entire
monetary system. In time we may possibly dis
cover that the variations in the private foreign
money In London are not great, but unth we make
the discovery by long experience we must act on
the opposite notion. As much Of the foreign

Parker and Sussex are famous Tor their adherence

WALL STREET,

SUNDAY, July 0, 1873.
Wall street during the past week has enjoyed
longer rest than IL has done before perhaps for
Vears. But it was needed for there is no class OF
men engaged in business or professional pursuits
who 80 quickly burn out the oil Of life, consume oxy-
gen and exhaust brain power as do the larger pro-
portion Of brokers and bankers of our great money
centre. The myriad sparks that new from pyrotech-
MO devices on the Fourth Of July not more en-
blcmatio OF destruction than is the daily work OF
the thousands whose thoughts are all ablaze with
the excitement generated by the events on Change.
For years the death roll Of the street has told the
same old story-ol men dropping out OF their places
only for momentary rest and finding them Q few
days afterwards in the grave; Of great leaders of
finance retiring weary from their labors, and,
almost before they were missed, startling the pub
Tic with an obituary announcement OF their final
going OF. Overwork killed them! Even such
brief parenthesis in the sentence OF lie as four
days is therefore both welcome and healthful ana
she coming week will doubtless show the benefit
In more ways than one.
THE FINANCIAL TONE
OF the week up to the time Of the adjournment OF
the several exchanges was that Of Improvement.
In the money market there was temporary ad-
vance OF the rate Of interest to per cent on
call loans, but 1t only for the moment and the
average may be quoted az between and
per cent The discount market presented but
slight change, prices varying only little from
preceding quotations. Foreign exchanges were
dull, with lower quotations at the close.
GOLD.
The speculation In gold received q temporary
check owing to various causes which deferred
the leading operators from active work. The ex-
tremes Of the week may be quoted as follows
