A Gall ON CONGRESS
To Provide Relief for the Extraordinary
Strain on the Money Centers.


Strain on the Money Centers.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The great in.
terest in the financial question is evi-
denced by the visit to Washington OF
Mr.. William p. st. John, president OF
the Mercantile National bank, of New
York, who says: Il am here to dis
cover, if possible, whether or not con.
gress is likely to pursue any immediate
and permanent policy of relief for the
present extraordinary strain in all the
money centers of the country.
THE New York city banks are strong
and their determination to keep so is a
very necessary prudence, at the same
time it undoubtedly occasions serious
curtailment of the business of the coun-
try inasmuch as some sections naturally
still ask aid from New York for a few
weeks yet, and this season unnaturally.
Conditions restrict and limit the rem
dering OF this aid with the usual free
hand, and impose a diminishment of the
volume and profitableness of the coun-
try's general business with some strain
of credits accordingly.
The money stringency from which
all sections have been suffering, the like
of which is not recorded since 1858, at
tribute to the recent most excellent
commercial situation which legitimately
demanded extraordinary supplies of
money, and concurrent contraction of
those supplies due to the distrust occa-
stoned by the stupendous abuse of the
commercial worlds confidence by Lon
don firm possessing an hereditary un-
limited credit, and the panic which fol
lowed its discovery.
"A safe way out of these conditions is
momentarily somewhat painful to any
who have traded over-liberally, viz. : to
impose such restrictions on money and
credit as will reduce the volume of
trade The result, however, is sure to
be deplored, because a stop at the happy
medium of volume is not to be predict
ed; the fattening out of business to a
possible period of stagnation is an un-
likely result. Hence, if another course
may with safety be pursued it will be
wiser, and congress is asked to point us
out that way.

north, have somewhat reduced transac-
tions, and caused more hardness in
collections than heretofore. but colder
weather and the approach of the holi-
DAYS season already begin to have a
favorable effect at many points. Thus
at st. Louis trade is improved in all
seasonable lines, excellent at Baltimore,
and better at Detroit and Boston. At
most southern points the slower move
ment of cotton on account of low
prices is named as the principal cause
of delay in collections. There is great
er ease at Cincinnati, and one or two
other points, and at Chicago necessary
advances for legitimate business are
made to the exclusion of long-drawn
out or speculative demands, the coun-
try trade is healthy, and no fears for
the future are expressed.
At Boston there is better feeling,
colder weather giving more life to the
wooden trade, and sales of woods reach
ing 2, 1873, 900 pounds. Providence notes
quiet trade, print cloths weak and
money tight. Philadelphia reports some
activity in holiday trades, though retail
dry goods business is below expecta-
tions, and the grocery trade is only fair,
Wool is extremely dull. In general, the
volume of trade throughout the country
is so heavy that, with the advance of
u per cent in prices since year ago,
larger supplies of money are absorbed.
The amount of currency in circulation
is now over 81, ,504, 900, 900 being $S7, ,000,-
600 larger than year ago There is no
especial change noted in the great in
dustries, though pig iron if rather weak
er in tone. Demands for finished prod
ucts of iron and steel are still large,
though distinctly less than month ago,
and rails are weak with scanty sales.
The woolen manufacture is much more
hopeful and confident than it was six
months or year ago, but manufactur-
ers are moving with caution. Labor
tronbles are very few. and the industry
of the country is remarkably well en-
ployed at fair wages.
The failures during the last seven
days for the United States number 2S2
and for Canada 30, or total Of 312, as
compared with total of 249 last week.
For the corresponding week Of last year
the figures We're 316, representing 271 in
the United States and 45 in Canada.
