FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
FINANCIAL.

The Chicago Times says the fall of the
Union Generate, of Paris, and also of the
greater part of the world, shows that the
financial storm is worse than interested
conservatives have tried to represent. The
dispatches have stated that the Union Cen
erale had shown its securities to the officers
OF the Bank of France and of other banks,
and had received large advances, which
would enable it to tide over the emergency.
As yesterdays dispatches say that the CON
Germ has collapsed, the inference is that
these statements Of cooperation were with
out foundation, or that the help that was
secured was inadequate. There is little
doubt that the disaster will now spread
widely. France is full of financial compa-
MES of every description, organized to spec
ulate in every variety of business. Most of
them were expected to pull through if the
Union Generate could, but the fate of that
institution must have the effect OF precipi-
tating Il run on every concern in Paris
whose soundness is in the least degree
doubted.

A DISPATCR from New York saws the in
tluence of the news from London and Paris
on the foreign exchange market was to
cause an advance in the posted rates for de-
mand sterling to Si.9Ol. The advance in
the discounts in London creates therefore
demand almost exclusively for sight bills
Hence the sharp advance Of rates. The
market closed strong for that class ofdrafts
and weaker for sixty days bills. Notwith-
standing this the actual rate at which bust
ness was done to-day was 81 S9t and that is
below the point at which gold exports can
be probably made. In order to make any
considerable shipments likely the rate
must rule as high Us $3.50 for actual bust
ness. Wall street was startled in the last
hour by the announcement that arrange
ments had been made to ship $1,000 600 at
least by the State of Nevada, which sails
Wednesday. The bankers who are having
this coin packed, stated that it was not pos
itivcly determined that they would ship it
as yet, and that much would depend on the
situation tomorrow. The gentlemen in
question, who are heavy drawers OF bills on
Londsn, said that gold could not be eencr-
ally exported at present figures. but that.
in their position, they could afford to send
1t against an old transaction without loss.
