bonds purchased during the week. vi oa'
urday, however. the Treasury lost on Daahco
about $1,70O.O00 more, which is adui''ona'
evidence that the bank reserves are larger
now than their statement indicated. Inc
rate of exchange is more favorable at Chi-
cago. but does not yet give signs or any COLI
siderable movement of money this way.
The Bank of England did not advance us
rate of discount again last week, anu
though some large Withdrawals OF specie lor
this country were reported, the loss OF reserve
was only G76,O00. The amount OF specie
held is now only 1924, 6S3,OOO. The Bank OIL
Germany gained once more in specie ana no"
holds $137, 900. of which about one
third is gold. The Bank of France lost very
little, and that in silver, and now hoids
about sos, So, 900 In gold, though the
amount in the central reserve, according 10
latest mail reports, was only $3I33Z,'oo'
The movement of gold in this direction mas
not stopped for more was shipped on Satur-
day: nor can it cease while heavy foreign
purchases of American securities continue 10
depress exchange. The speculative movement
abroad. if it does no other good, at least
helps TO supply this country with all the gold
it needs.
But for that aid. the condition of foreign
trade would hardly warrant an expectation
of continued imports OF specie The exports
of grain have greatly declined, and prices
abroad are falling, in part because lower
estimates are now made of the requirements
of England, France and Germany, and IN
part because the movement from the Black
Sea has been larger than was expected
though most of the wheat comes from the
Danubian Principalities. 1t is now thought
that Frlnce will not require from abroad
more than 100000 bushels OF wheat,
of which 1S,972.035 bushels were I'M
ported by November L, and at the
principal ports 100000 bushels more
during the four weeks ending November
20. Thus more than half the entire French
demand for the year had been supplied last
month. The imports into Great Britain up to
November 27 were about 100000 bushels
less than for the corresponding part OF the
previous crop year. Exports OF corn increase,
apparently to some extent 10 the exclusion OF
wheat In petroleum and some other products,
the export movement has recently been COM
paratively small.

cold FLOWING IN.

The close of the year approaches with heavy
imports of gold, due rather to unchecked
purchases Of American securities by foreign
crs than to large exports of merchandise. In
consequence. the money market has been
much relieved, and the banks report reserves
above the legal requirements. 1t is generally
expected that the Secretary of the Treasury
may begin the payment of interest next week.
and the other disbursements to be made at
the beginning of the year are now so near at
hand and so large that there is no longer OBJ
served an apprehension of any serious strin-
gency in the money market. Perhaps there is
little too much confidence, for the payment
of interest has really but little immediate effect
in the money market, while funds which have
been accumulated by many institutions and
companies for January payments, though
now in the market and largely leaned, will
have to be withdrawn before the year ends.
As the recent strDgency was to some extent
enhanced by the operations of large lenders,
30 the succeeding ease is III some degree due
to artificial causes, and the available surplus
is still so small that sharp pressure could
easily be produced this week or next. If
left to itself, without special influence from
interested parties either way, the money mar
ket would probably work pretty closely to
the end of the year. If there should be
any increased activity in speculation; the
supply of loanable funds might at any time
prove inadequate. Hence the market is likely
TO remain, for the next two weeks or longer,
quite within the control of a few large opera
tors.
The foreign importations of specie have not
produced the effect upon the money market
or the bank reserves which was COM
monty expected. The amount received during
the week ending Friday go, 98S, $3.50 was
nearly balanced by the payments from
the Assay Office, which amounted to
SIS, 647, 900, Notwithstanding the customary
but unwarranted complaint about the cred
tape" in that establishment. The facilities in
the Office for smelling foreign bullion have
been pronounced inadequate 10y the Suporln-
tendent of the Mint, who has officially recon-
mended improvements that Congress has not
seen fit to make. 1t is not the fault of the
officials that pint cup will not hold quart,
nor could advances be properly or safely made
upon large and rapid importations of foreign
bullion without examination. But the payments
made for bullion began with about 50, 900 900
on Wednesday, so that they did not have
full effect in the bank statement, on account
of tie foolish system OF reporting averages
The reserves were doubtless lower at the end
OF the week than the statement indicates.
The Treasury reported balances only
S1,5S4, G47 less on Friday, after the bulk of
the payments on account of foreign gold had
been made, than on the Friday previous, be-
cause the receipts on other accounts had

This table shows that England and the
Netherlands are the only European countries
that have reduced their debts since 1865. and
that even in these two instances the rcduc-
ton has been comparatively slight. In fiji

added to the Indebtedness of Europe, while
over 1870. 100000, or about One-third
of the public debt of our own country
has been paid. In 1865 the United States
owed more than any other nation in the
world except Great Britain. In 1880 it owes
less than France, Great Britain, Russia, Spain,
Austria Hungary and Italy.

SAL 900, 900 less than it costs to govern
Germany. The expenses of our country are
not only less than those of these two Powers

not only lived within their income, but they
have resoluteIy cut down their expenses, while
the ease and rapdity with which they have

their recent history one of the maryels OF
modern times. Verify, it is @ good thing to
be an American.

RESPONSIBILITY FoR DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT

RESPO NSIBILITYF ron DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT
Sir Lncus O'rrigger was not alone in BIS
admiration of ga pretty quarrel" There IL
nothing so delights the trne politicians heart
after success as seeing the defeated quarrel
over the result and the more vindictve the
pickering the greater the pleasure OF the
looker-on The Democrats have not yet done
quarrelling over the responsibility for Han
cocks defeat, and Republicans still take an
interest in the discussion. The quarrel has
lately been revived with more than ordinary
ferceness by the defeat of Mr.. Kelly and the
expulsion of Tammany Hall from lis local
Offices and Mr.. Kelly has just published an
elaborate letter defending himself and charS-
ing the ctr .asOn y which defeated Hancock
on Mr.. Tiden.
Shortly after the election, in analyzing
the figures of the returns, we took Occa-
sion to call attention to the extracr-
binary falling off in the Democratic
vote in counties VIGOROUSLY under the control
of Mr. Tildcn's organization. We threw ont
the facts as a hint which Mr. Kelly has
quietly taken. We mentioned only three
counties-Kinss and Clinton (Smith Weeo's),
in which Mr. 1ildeu's influence was para
mount, and New-Yolk, In which he main
tanned a strong organization i'll opposition to
that of Tammany on local issues. Mir. Kelly
having naturally more extended and inu-
mate knowledge of the inside and secret his
tory of the Democratic organizations than we
possessed, has improved upon our showing
and presents some curious facts highly dam
aging to NJ. Tilen. He shows, in the first
place. that the total gain of the Democrats in
this State over tie vote OF 1876 was 1852,
of which IO,4Sj was in this city, while
only 2,067 WAS gained in all the rest
of the State Mr.. Tilden controlled by
his organizations forty-nine out of the
sixty counties of the State, and these
combined show gain Of one half OF
| per cent, while in the one county of New
York where Mr.. Kelly controlled there was
an increase in the Democratic vote of Q per
cent Further than this Mr.. Kelly shows
that in thirty-thrce of the counties in which
Mr.. Tilden was absolute, through the Demo-
cratic organic atoms headed by his friends,
there was an actual decrease in the Demo-
cratic vote tor Hancock compared with that
of four years ago for Tilden. These are sug-
gestive figures. and Mr.. Kelly presents them
in forciblc manner.
Our Democratic friends must, however, 90
deeper than Mr.. Kelly's figures to explain the
defeat of General Hancock in New-Y Ork,
Connecticut and Indiana. The Democratic
candid tie was beaten because the thoughtful,
conscientious men of both parties, who are
always deeply interested in Presidential
contest, felt that General Garfield was "A
better representative of their views and be-
liefs than was General Hancock. That, and
not Mr.. Tllden's silent opposition, is the
factor in the discussion which the Democrats
overlook.
