New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1881-10-17
The following are the totals Of th' statements q
be corresnonding date for preccling years:

While at bank there was no change in the ratedor
discounts oTalvances, per cent being The universal
rate ut the stock Exchange call loans ruled much
easier than during the preceding week. with inter-
est and lie per cent per diem a the highest rate
early in the week and 3 per cent the common rate
for the last half Of the week. There were several
causes that combined to produce the change Inc
loan market gained 100000 by the Assay Ohice
payments for imported gold; the Sub-Ircasury's
other payments exceeded its receipts by Tl3G 900;
the interior demand required only about S2,OOO,0OO
to supply it, instead of $G,00O,OOO ~ was
the case the preceding week and not
tine least important factor toward the result the
important liquidation in the stock speculation and
the depreciation of values which were accom-
plished by the middle Of the week. For
the coming week sangune calculations Of great ease
are made in some speculative quarters. The Treas
ury at Washington yesterday had received the iull
sum of So 900 600 called Gs offered to be redeemed:
so IL is certain that amount will be paid out but
the book, for offers will not close until Monday af-
;ernoon. no checks will be forwarded until Tues
day. making it Wednesday before such portion Of
the funds as belongs to NewYork reaches ,his mar
ket The SubTIeasury here tomorrow will accept
So 600 900 of any Of the GIGS, if offered, Of which
there is no doubt The Assay Office is still debtor
for 81 100 600 imported gold, payment for which
will be made early in the week. and ii is estimated
that there is So OOO,OOO gold on the way hcro-an
estimate, however, that probably is widely astray
from the fact. These figures aggregate the
sum of 81 1000 which sanguine persons whose
calculations ignore all the rest OF mankind OK
cept Wall street. have set down rs the prospective
endowment 10 speculation for next week.
But that is only one side of the calculation. First,
it will be discovered that only part of the proceeds
of the So 900 900 bonds to be paid for in Washing
ton will to NcwYork; and second, there is rca
son to expect that the interior demand next week
will be much greater than it yesterday. In fact
il was urgent ycsterday-the first day OF the banks
new wcek-and the drafts were so large on some
banks and at hours too late TO call in loans that
the banks referred to employed brokers TO borrow
large of money 40 that they should not be such
extraordinarily heavy debtors at the Clearing
House Monday morning. In the domestic
exchanges on New-York. at Boston early in
the week New-York funds were at premium Of 30
cents but at the end of the week the rate had fallen
to par. At the other points the closing rates
as follows: Savannah, 5-16~3-16 discount;
Charleston 30 discount to par; New-Orleans, 10
cents discount to 81 premium St. Louis 30 cents
discount; Chicago so cents discount. The foreign
exchange markets were duh all the week through,
but rates advanced so that specie lmportatons
pay no profit il not an actual loss. 1t is strongly
suspected that all the late specie imports have been
made through the medium of borrowed exchange.
The history of the Stock Exchange markets for
| last week is little moro than repetition of the
weekly histories of the markets for the last three
weeks. Fluctuations there were, and some of them
were important, but in the grand result there is
little of gain or loss TO prices generally. AS rule
sometimes in the week prices touched lower
figures than before for many months, and with few
exceptions prices did not at any time reach to the
best figures of the preceding week. Government
bonds generally were dull, although there were
considerable sales of the continued 5s that of
one time depressed the price to 9oai, and
the As at one time sold as low as 1852 But there
was a later recovery. that the only changes
from week ago in tho final bids are
