a credit business can favorably compare
prices with a bouse working
on the cash principle. - 'All the expenses

ed by the Senate, the New York Herald
u says; "Its leading purpose was to unite
[. and harmonize the Republican party;
_ and, however successful It may prove as
r a stroke of party tactics, it;Is of- BBbordinate
importance as a means of reaching
specie payments. It is marked by the
trimming dexterity which is constantly
y practiced by the farmers of political platg
form. It is a scheme contrived1 to oear
, one interpretation in the East and an'
other in tne "West, and to mislead both
sections if they judge of it by the comments
of local expounders instead of
e examing the text of the bill. It was
it Esau's hand&with Jacob's voice, and a
?_ person must be an blind as the old patri'
arch their father if he cannot detect the

The Financil and Commercial Situation.?The
general ooudltion of monetary
affairs baa remained without important
Qhange during this period, with
the great European centres continuing
to show do alteration of note, while the
rates he call loans at New York ruled at
2a4, and advanced to 5a6 per cent., and
prime commercial short-date paper
racing from 5Ja7} percent, per annum,
At this point money has been in moderate

ness movement has been quiet and moderate,
with only limited transaction taking
place to supply an economical consumptive
demand. Until the depressed
industries of the country revive, and a
more prosperous situation is achieved, a
dull condition of trade may be expected.
'The* gold market showed an upward
tendency, and opened at 11J and closed
at 12$.
The New York gold market has shown
the following rates during the past
week : On Saturday, December 28, the
market was closed. On Monday, December

closed.
The Ckops.?The occurrcnce of the
Christmas holidays has caused suspension
of field work duringthis period, and
nothing of importance will be done after
the opening of the New Year. The very 1
low price of cotton which seems, in I
consequence of the full production now
taking place from year to year, to have
overtaken consumption, and which has
a tendency apparently to settle down to
gold value ante-bellum figures, will
make it of interest to know at how low
a price planters can cultivate it largely.
