The month of May last was not an active month in any department of business. We took a fhir amount of merchandise from abroad hot considerably leas than the average' The entries for warehouse were about an average; the withdrawals were in excess of the aversge, which, probably, results as much from the r fleet of the new warehonsing law as from any demand for goods. In the month Of May our foreign trade generally slackens between the spring and the ftll busiuess. At Ibis tiuic last year the civil war had begun, and the public were yet undetermined as to its commercial effect*. General Butler had permitted the unfortunate bat tle of Groat Bethel to be fought; but it had had no marked effect rpon the markets. The banks held about six millions more specie than they do at present; their loans were some thirteen millions leas. Money was worth Ave or six per cent on call, and buyera of mercantile paper were very cautious |n their purchases. Foreign exchange was about 106 a IOC say ten per cent lower than it is at pre sent. No financial scheme had been matured or even proposed for the payment of the experuu ? of the war.

It is understood that the specie will probablg show a small inoreaae to morrow, and that the loaaa and deposits may per haps likewise reach a higher figure, though the general movement ia so slight that it will not at tract any attention. The bauks are using their means in the purchase of government stocks and in loans on other securities. There is no business paper to speak of in market, and such paper as is made can be sold much better at the note brokers' than at bank. The specie reserve remains pretty stationary, and will not ftnctuate actively for some t.me. After the lat proximo it will probably increase, in consequence of the payment of in terest on the debts of the United States and vari ous leyal States. Meanwhile the receipts of gold from various sources are probably fully equal to the drain for export. The banks are under stood to be heavy holders of certificates of indebt edness, which answer the purpose of mercantile paper, and afford them an opportunity of earning interest on their capital. Their operations in go vernments have thus far proved so successful that they have more than baianced their losses through the repudiation of Northern claims by Southern debtors. The money market exhibits no now feature*. Money is offered to the established bouses at 3 per cent per annum, and is rcloaned by them to the street operators and smaller houses at 4 a 9 per cent per annum. Commercial paper sells at 4 a 6 per cent, and is in demand at these rates. Certifi cates of indebtedness are wanted at 100%, and are mostly held at 100% a %. Green back demand notes advanoed on Friday to 103%, but sold yes terday at 103%. There is no present prospect of any advance in the value of money; on the contrary, all the indications lead to the belief that the revival of trade with the reconquered Southern States will be very slow, and that merchants will tuove so cautiously for some time to come that the demand for money for com mercial purposes will be very light indeed. Abroad, at the great financial centres, at London, Paris and Frankfort, money is very cheap indeed?ranging from 2% to 4 per cent. There are many here who look for a 2 por cent money market this summer. It is the interest of Mr. Chase to keep money easy, in order to secure the conversion of his legal ten der currency; and it may be taken for granted that he will not neglect any measure which may oon duce to this end. The letter of the Secretary of the Treasury to the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, requesting Congress to authorize a fresh issue of $150,000,000 of legal tender notes, has been the signal for a fresh burst of speculation in gold and exchange. The former rose yesterday to 106%, and there was some talk of Iiighcr quota tions, but, so far as we could learn, without any actual sales above the rate we have named. Bank ers' bills on London closed for the packets yesterday at 116%. After the sailing of the steamers some of the broken tried to buy; bnt the leading drawers were nnwiUing to sell except at a marked ad vance, and the specalaton in bills were thus en abled to report that 117, and even 117%, had been refused. All this flurry in bills and gold is the wotk of speculation on the one hand, and unrea soning panic on the other. The tables of our foreign trade, which we publish above, show that the commerce of the fiscal year 1861-2, which ter minates on the 30th inst., will leave us largely creditors of the foreign world; and as there is every reason to believe that our exports of pro duce will increaee, while it is rea-enable to expect that Congress will effect such chsojrrs in the tariff as shall secure a diminution in our imports, it is -imply absurd to reckon on the foreign exchanges ruling against us. The premium on gold lias been forced to it? present point by the opera tions of speculator*, who bare been acting upon the supposed effect of the new issue of Treasury notes. It is utterly base less. There is no need of gold for the ordinary operations of commerce. We can send abroad all that the foreign world can require of as without diminishing to any perceptible extent our domestic reserve. We have yet on haud over twenty mil lions of the gold we took from Kurope last year, and oar California remittances continue. In all probability the recent advance in specie will be followed by a decline as rapid as the advnnce. The present premium affords merchant* and bankers who have lieen hoarding gold an excellent oppor tunity to realize profit.-. Mix to six a*id a half per cent is a very handsome premium, and shrewd operators mill take advantage of it and sell without delay. The changes are that w e ahull see the pre cious metal selling within thirty days at 2 a 3 per cent again. Country bankers who sre wise will lose no time in taking advantage of the -pecula tive fever of our Wall street operators, and in let ting tbero have their gold. If they are wide awuke they can do better with their money, even shonld gold rise one or two per ceut higher; and if gold should fall to 102 a 103, as it will probably do, they would have reason to regret that they had al lowed the golden opportunity to escape them. Foreign bankers and dealers in foreign exchange have evinced much concern at the proposal of Secretary Chase to issno $150,000,000 more Trea sury notes. They predict?and the prophecy is re-echoed by all the dlaloyal citizens?that this new iaauo most lead to a general Inflation of pricea and an rdtimate callage, it is not with any intention of disparaging the foreign bankers? aome of whom are among the most enterprising and nsefnl of oar citisens?that we draw attention to the notorious fact that their presages with re gard to the eeurse of oar public flfiancee since the war began have been uniformly and egregionsly wrong. When Mr. Chase first resolved to issne paper and make it a legal tender, these bankers predicted the speedy collapse of onr financial sys tem, and proclaimed that onr finances would soon be in the condition of those of Austria. It was on the strength of letters written in banking houses in New York that Enropean journalists so Confidently wnrned their readers of the impending financial ruin of the federal Union. Ueveral months have elapsed, and onr finances?which these authorities pronounced in a hopeless state are so sound that the present complaint ef the hankers is that Mr. Chase will not undertake to negotiate, through their instrnmcntulity, a 5 per cent loan In the neirhb -o-hood of par. Again, when Mr. Chase fir?t i:-- ted irns deMBable paper, a'l the foreign hou es began to buy go d They were confident that gold was going to rise to an enormous prrmiutn; end they were confirmed in this opinion by the organs of defunct schools of finance, and by all the secret aeceaiouists. What again was the result? These lor ign booses lost ?o much money on their pur chasea of gold that they gave np the operation aome fine ago. On the -first issue of legal tender paper gold ro-e to 5 per cent, then fell to ! !/??? We do not mention these matters in I order to disparage the judgment of onr foreign hanker- but merely to show that their opinions on American finance must not be regarded as beyond dUpnte or appeal. The ceurae which lh< govt rnnient of the United States hat traced out for itself at the present crisis Is with out precedent, and it is natural that observers who arc guided by precedent only shonld view it with astonishment and even dismay. We venture, nevertheless, to predict that the Uene wIR justify Mr. Chase *e.d h's support .?? in the main feature* of the policy pursued by the Troasury Depart* ment; that there will be no serions inflation of prices, and conserpienUy no collapse; that gold will ot flow outward in sindi quantities as to ne nact the stability of onr bunking ii.?titntions, od that the government will bo enabled, much ?ooaer than is expected, to revert te a specie ba aia, without convulsion or catastrephe. The aaaount of new treasury notee which It is now proposed to iseae is $150,000,00#. Of these it is proposed to retain $84,000,000 in hand to moot an unexpected demand for the return of 4 and "5 per oent deposits; so that the actual amount to be placed at the disposal of the department will only be $116,000,000. By the acts passed in February last, aa iaaue ef $150,000,000 of notes was authorized, mainly to take the place of ourrency which had been dia credltoo by the failure of banks, by the decline in border State stocks, and by the withdrawal from circulation of large amounts of specie and of Sonthern bank notes. But of these $150,000,000 Congress pronounced $60,000,000 to be receivable for customs duties. Of these $60,000,000 some $56,000,000 are still afloat, und, being equivalent to gold in the payment of duties, are held at 3 a 3% premium, and art consequently withdrawn from circulation. Of the $150,000,000 of currency cre ated by Congress in February, there is therefore only sbout $90,000,000 sfloat?considerably lesg than the amount of the specie currency withdrawn from crculation, of the Illinois, Missouri and other bank currency which has collapsed in oonse quence of tbe fall in Southern States stooks, and of the Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana and other Southern bank cuirency which has become worthless by the secession of the States from whence it hailed. There is In reality at this moment less currency?that is to say money afloat in the North than there was at the time the war broke out. Mr. Chase now proposes to sup plement his present issue of $90,000,000 by a further issue of $116,000,000?making in all about $206,000,000 of government currency to be floated. This is probably more than there was in existence in the North before the war. Bnt, in the first place, it must be remembered that the war has had tho effect of wiping out of existence all South ern currencies, and that, m fast as we reconquer states, we have got to supply them with money of some kind or other. At Nashville, for instance, United States Treasury notes are the only money which is freely used in daily business transactions. At New Orleans and Memphis the discredit of Con federate money hns led to a general demand for United States notes, and those active commercial centres will very speedily absorb many mil lions of United States paper. The same will be the case at Norfolk and all other ports which are occupied by Unitod States forces. In the second place, it most always be borne in mind that the real purpose of tho Trea sury Department was not the floating of legal ten der notes, but the recognition of six per cent bonds. It is with the proceeds of the latter that the cost of the war must be defrayed. The question is, how could such bonds have been best and most cheaply negotiated? The foreign bankers say to Mr. Chase, " You should have followed the Euro' pcan example, called for bids, and let us make terms with you." The Secretary has preferred to inaugurate an American system. He issues con vertible paper; issues so much of it that money becomes abundant, and stocks rise: and it then becomes an object for the holders of his currency to convert it into bonds. In a short while the sixes of 1881 will sell at 112 a 115, and the 5.29 bonds at a substantial pre mium. When that is the case, every one who receives a thousand dollars of legal tender cur rency will take it to the 8ub-Trensury before three P. M. and convert it into bonds. In this way Mr. Cliasc will, in effect, be paying the expenses of the war with six per cent five year bonds, negotiated at par, and there will be no inflation of paper money; for as fast aa the government currency is paid out it will come back for conversion. He will, in reality, have achieved the result which the bankers now blame him for not aiming at, without coBt to the government, and without placing himself in the hands of the money dealers. Jf he had called for a loaa of $100.009,000?enough to last him for three months?it is doubtful whether he would hove had $25,000,000 offered at par. The very men who are now loudest in denouncing him would hare refused to subscribe, and would have sought to make terms which would have given them a fat profit. He has relied on biH own re sonrces, and the result will justify his sagacity, and will prove that there is at least one govern ment in the world which does not exist by suffer ance of the bankers and money dealers. That the ultimate result of the present policy of the Treasury Department must be tlie substitution of government money for bnnk notes throughout the country is obvious enough. Jlr. Chase dis* covered, when be began to cast about him for ways and means, that the rorcrmrent possessed, under the constitution, a power in regard to the issning of paper money which had always lain dor mant. That it was the intention of the framers of the con.-titutioii to secure for the country a uni. form currency at par everywhere, and issued undtr the authority and guaranti e of the genera' government, no one who carefully studies that in' strument can doubt for a moment. Unhappily for the country, the general government had never, until the present war broke out, exercised this un doubted power of supplying the caurtry with money; and, in ita default, the States, which were by the constitution expressly prohibited from is suing paper money, usurped illegally the right of granting charters to bank* of issue. They were perhaps forced to pursue the course they did by the negligence of the general government. Com merce required paper money, and, if the proper authority would not issue ft, improper authorities were compelled to do so. The present war and the exigencies of tlie case have recalled the fede ral government to a knowledge of its privileges, if not to a sense of its long neglec ted duties to the public, in this respect, and the result is the issues of paper mouey which wc are now witnessing. The leading feature of these issues, aa we have above remarked, la their convertibility into 6 per cent bonds. This feature operates as a perpetual check and safety valve againat an excessive issue of paper. Whenever Mr. Chase sets afloat more paper than the commerce of the conntry requires' government stocks will rise to such a premium that conversion will become general, and thus tlia redundant currency will be called in. Already we notice that the mere talk of a new issue led to an increase of deposits for conversion at the Sub* Treaanry at New York from a daily average o1 about tna.000 to 1616,000 on Friday and 1428,000 yesterday.

At the seme time we notice that large cmownta of Amci icaa securi ties are ooming hen for sola. This arise* not fr. rn any increasing diatrwat af onr aeonritlea among foreigners, but from ?p?onU0vt operations by some of ourshiowrdb. uk >.g h"ti;e?. Ever since the war began a rao?. t .-r.Mi tL.1 1. s^,^t 1 be* beep done by the purchase of American stooka in Hn rope and their resale here. The Europeans, mlo led by the bitter attacks of their journals upon this country, hare been willing t* dhpoae of their American securities at low rates, while our people at heme, more justly appreciating the condition of the oountry, hare been willing to purchase nil the foreigners were anxious to sell' Several of our banking houses hare taken advan tage of this state of things, and have done a larg? and profitable business. A very large aggregate amount of State, city and railway bonds has thus passed from foreign to American holders within a few months, and ths operation ia still proceeding actively. It is a matter of congratulation. It is impossible to exaggerate the misohiet which has flowed from our habit of relying upon foreigners for a supply of capital. Henceforth it is to be hoped we shall hear no more of thia foolish and injurious practice. We have received the following communication on the subject of the Pittsburg, Port Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company;? TO THB ?l)ITOU OF TUB HHKALD. 1 UILAPSLTHU, JUllO 13, 1882 I am sorry you could not flud room tor my ? uiuiunl catlon about lbs I'tttsburg, Fort Wayne and tbicugo Kail road, as tbe tai ls it ooutaiuaJ ara of interest to a Urge section of people, not only In this country, but on the other tide of the water. 1 trust you oau find s, aoe for two inquiries;? 1. I wish to know whether tbe mortgagee under tbe reorganisation were not gr <nted by tne trustees indivi dually, tne property uever having been conveyed to the company at ail, and the fee having aiwaysutluce tbe aal? vested in the truetsoa.aud being in thura still. Aud whether, under those circumstances, any atockhol :#r may not iter eh tar com|*l the trustees, b'y pioporiegil pro cess, to make over tbe proierty, without enenmb arcs, to tba company lor which they bought It. A so. whutber, in such an event, the mortgage bouds would have any higher elaim th in one in mere equity?witm ut mort gage?against the coaipnny. 2- I wish to Inquire whether bondholders are not em powered to vote at meetiogs of the company oa the some footiug as the shareholders, and whether, in faot, the provisions on this head are not such m to giva the truaisos, who, in ths absence of boudholdera, vote tor them, absolute control of the property. Also, whether the real owners of the company, the stockholders, are llksly to submit to this absurd arrangement without try lag to rip up the reorganisation.
