FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
The Financinl situution.

The Senate has passed national bankrupt bill
which is step in the right direction though much
doubt exists whether the House will concur. The
existence of such statute will be of the greatest
service to our entire community. The varying law
of different states put creditors at serious disadvan
tage, not only in the matter of security against
losses, but as protection against fraud. So much
Is this danger felt that sales are made within Ger
tain states with the utmost caution, lest by some
peculiar grab law or prefer nee scheme, the debt
may be void. The preset insolvent law of Maine
does very well for our own dealers, but the demand
is for law covering all the ttates
One of the greatest risks incident to trade is the
above lack of protection; and this in connection
with the fact that too many small concerns are good
only AS long as they buy goods and thereby pay
existing debts render sales undesirable beyond
the regions where customers can be frequently and
carefully watched.
The depression in trade still exists and no lifting
of the cloud is perceptibe. Prices shrink and con-
hdence is waning. Gold Leaves the country at al
together too considerable rate for prudence or
safety. Meantime the exctements of political cam
paigns are warming up, and men will neglect their
farms, their shops and their wares so that we can
see no hope of any healthy activity for months to
come. Daily fluctuations in stocks of few points
upwards, to be followed by a gradually sinking
away 90 not AFFECT the general question.
The various bills before Congress for til. relief of
national banks, either by increasing their circula-
ton ten per cent, by abolishing the tax ON crcu
lation, are still discussed but it seems more and
more probable that no action will be taken at this
session. although there is evidently less hostility to
the banks than at former discussions.
The House has passed bill for the redemption of
the trade DOLLAR at their face value, by converting
them into bullion when received by the Treasury
and re-coinage into standard dollars. Originally
intended for circulation in China and Japan, and
containing seven and one-half more grains of silver
than the standard dollar they do not have the legal
tender quality, and generally refused in trade
Inasmuch as at least eight millions of these tokens
are held by Spectators, who would get profit of
ten per cent upon them, it is doubtful whether the
government is bound to redeem in full, as at the
first it was only stamped that certain amount of
silver was included in the coin as every merchant
for years has known the precise value of these
coins and has taken them knowingly, and he
will be fortunate if the government gives him the
benefit of the doubt.
