The market is very quiet in finan-
cial circles. Prime mercantile paper
is in good request and rates are steady
at eight per cent, with a little shading
reported where extra choice securities
are offered. Outside Of banks and in
surance companies rates range from
six to ten per cent.
Exchange offers freely at steady
rates, the current discount being
$3.50 per thousand on New
York and other points east, il
bearing no grace; also the same on
New Orleans. Sight bills on Boston,
Providence and Fall River are 1 dis
count. Checks on all points sell at
par.
There is now in the United States
treasury gold coin and bullion to the
amount of SAG, 700, 1864 and about
$62, 000, 900 in silver coin. The balance
of trade having been in favor Of this
country, the treasury has been steadily
gaining gold, but the trade balance is
likely to change very soon, and the
gold flow will then be toward Europe.

strong with an active demand upon
receipt of news from abroad of 1-l6d
advance on spots and from one to

within a fraction of the top figures of
the season, uplands having reached

followed by a gradual depression and
downward movement until Wednes-
day last, when prices took a turn for
the better. For the past five days

the staple again occupies a strong
position, though few of our dealers
can give a reason for the change.

TUE DUTY on HOOP IRON-A MINORITY REPORT BY
THE REPUBLICAN, MEMBERS - OBJECTIONS TO
THE PROPOSED BILL.
TBV TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUHEl
WASHINGTON, Ma 11.-Mr. Tucker, OF Virginia.
reported to the House to-day from the Committee
of Ways and Mcaus three bills affecting the tariff.
One relates to the duties on sugars second is the
general tariff BILL and the third is a bill to reduce
the duty OH hoop iron.
General Garfield submitted minority report on
the last named bill. This report was signed by all
the Republican members of tho Ways and Means
Committee. The objections Of the minority to the
bill may be summarized as fOllOwsi
l. 1t will destroy at least $G,000,000 Of capital
invested by Americans in manufactures If hoop
iron.
2. 1t will turn out Of employment not less than
5000 artisans and labOrers who arc engaged in
such manufactures, ard at lenst 10000 more
who arc engaged in the production Of hoop iron
material.
8. 1t will transfer to importers and to foreign
manufacturers tho profits now enjoyed by Amcri-
cans, and will not materially reduce the cost Of
hoop iron to American consumers.
d. 1t is wholly out of harmony with the
duties imposed by existing laws upon every other
form Of iron manufacture.
After long argument to show that tho fourth
proposition is clearly in violation of the whole
sprt of true tariff system from tho foundation Of
the Government, the report concludes as folOwsi
This bin singles out hoop iron from tho whole list OF
iron products and strikes fatal blow by making its
manufacture in this country impossible No further
argument 9 needed TO prove the Injustice OF this
measure Tho undersigned are not opposed to re-
vision OF tho tariff or reduction Of rates. whenever Tits
can be done in harmony with the principles herein set
forth but believing tnat the provisions OF the third
section Of the pending hill arG partial aud unjust
bill
The third section Of the bill provides that here
after the duty, not only on cut hoops but upon all
band hoop and scroll iron, shall be reduced SO per
cent ad Yalorem.
