Aspect of Commercial Aflalra In England.
Jfrom tilt Timet.
Some of the leading British Journals are
enlaced In the task of accounting tor the
docreas of bullion in the Bank oi England,
which has ld to the eorlous advance In the
bank rate of discount.
It appear so unaccountable to some of the
economists who are most deeply exercised in
the premises, that their conclURion la that there
most necessarily be a heavy falling off iu the
payments Iron) this side for British goods. In
other words, that the BritiMi exporter is doinc a
heavy business on trust, and that settlements of
our merchants are postponed to a dangerous
extent. This is a summary way ot accounting
for the decrease of bullion in the Bank or
JOnftland; but it is qmto as fallacious as it is
summary. There has never been a lime in the
commercial history of the country hn pay
ments Irom this side were made with more
promptitude or greater regularity than they are
to-day.
Indeed, the London Timet, which is the chief
assailant, as uBiial, ot our commercial credit, has
the assurance ol correspondent deeply interest
ed in American trade that our meicoanf, thus
far, are disposed to anticipate the payment of
bills, rather than accept any credit whatever.
The crippl.nirotthe bank if it can be called such
is due to otber causes than those superficially
indicated in the editorial columns ot the British
organ. While, our civil war lasced large amounts
of gold doubtless found their way to England,
there to bo temporarily invested at a low rate of
interest. Since the restorat on of law and order
throughOBt the United States, not only have
these loreisrn investments censed, but far-seeing
British capitalists such as the railway magnates
who were here the other day, are every dav
peeking some new opening for increasing their
etake in United States railway and other pro
perty. l'oesibly It may be well and wise for the Lon
don Time 8 to advise both these classes against
investing in any class of American securities.
But even those of our citizens who were weak
enough to lose faith in the stability of their own
Oovernment during the crisis ot the insurrec
tion, have long apo recovered sufficient faith to
see the advantage of making their Investments
solely at homo. As for Mr. Kinnaird, Sir Morton
Peto, and British capitalists ot their class, we
take it, that, inasmuch as they were not deterred
by the advice of the Londou Times from invest
ing here dvrinq the war, tbey are not likely to
be so deterred by the same counsel during a
time of peace and almost unparalleled industrial
prosperity.
The Bank of England Is doubtless exercising a
wise precaution in checking In a. judicious extent
the disposition among English exporters to over
trading. It is certainly as litMe to our interest
commercially, as that of the British dealer, to
have the market here lorced by a revival of long
credits, or indeed, by any credits, either long or
snori. it is Detter trial our importers snouia
continue, as the LoudonJ Ttmss' correspondent
describes them, to anticipate commercial bills
than get one cent in arrear, especially in viewof
the gradual contraction of the currency which
is to bring us back to specie payments.
' We shall be gainers conraieiclally, if the bank
late goes even hipner than it . has yet done, pro
vided the tendency is only to resUain the British
ezpoiter from rasn adventures in the American
market. And whether that result is primarily
brought about by the efflux of gold from Eng
land to tbis couLtry. or by causes more remote,
we Bhall be in no sense, and to no degree, the
losers. Whatever haa the tendency to keep us
Irom running up heavy bills abroad, is in the
way ol present thrift and future safety when con
traction begins in earnest. Meanwhile there is
no doubt that the tendency to overtrading in
England needs all the watching which the bank
can erive, and whatever restraint it can leeiti
mutely impose upon-it, to us there must accrue
an incidental benefit.
The Insurrection In Spain.
from Vie Tribune.
We arc in possession of full accounts of the
origin of the military insurrection in Spuin.and
of the first operations oi both the insurgents and
the Government forces. . The insurrection,, it
seems, had long been planned. It was known
that (Jenoral Prim was at the head of it; and
that at least tour otber generals were in open
sympathy with him. The Frogressistas used to
talk so openly about the prominent outbreak,
that now everybody in Spaiu is sururised at the
failure ol the Gverri merit to adopt the most
suitable measures for its suppression.
The first outbreak occurred at Aranluez, the
well-known royal country residence, which is
situated onlv one hour and a halt, by rail, from
Madrid, and at Ocana, a town about one nour
further. Two cavalry regiments, quartered at
those towus, set up the cry, 'Down with the
Government." They expected to Bod aid among
the trocps stationed In the capital, and, there
fore, at once marched in that direction, a Kane
ing, it is said, as far as Arganda, onlv tour
leugues from Madrid. According to some ac
counts, there were many signs of insubordina
tion iu the Madrid regiments, but the Govern
ment succeeded in suppressing them, declared
the whole miliiarv district of New Castile (com:
S rising the provinces of Madrid. Toledo, ttua
ala jar, Cueuca, and Ciudad Ileal) m a sta.e of
siege, and despatched with great energy trujt
worthy regiments neainst the insurgents.
The 'latter were commanded by General Prim,
who withdrew bei'ore the. overwhelming torces
of the Government into the mountains ot Tolsda,
and according to the latest account was at a
place called Urda. The telegraphic despatches,
all ot which have to pas the cenoorship of the
Government, represont the insurrection as hope
less; but it is highly 6lgnillcant that even these
despatches mention the report of a deoieh'nent
ol royal troops having been defeated by General
Prim"; and the recall of General Concha to Ma
drid seems to indicate that be has been unsuc
cessliil against (Tiiu.
Simultaneously with the outbreak at Aran
guax, the garrison ot Avila, the capital of a
province of the same name, revolted, but not
findiug the expected support Irom the ueltrhbor
. ing town, matched into Portugal, and were there
disarmed.
In several other places attempts at insurrec
tion were made, but easily suppressed. That
the conspiracy, however, extended throughout
Bpain, is clearly pioved by a number of circum
stances. The Minister Resident .expressly stated
so in the Senate Chamber. Very serious dis
turbances took place at Barcelona, where the
troops tired upon the people, and a number of
the latter were killed. Similar news reaches
us Irom a number of the other importau. towns,
and the Government deemed it best to extend
the operations of the state o'' siege to Aragon,
comprising the provinces of Saragossa, lluesca,,
andTernel. . j
Further intelligence as to the progress and
fate ot the insurrection will be waited for in all
civilized countries with intense interest. ,
The Threatened financial Kevulblon In
England.
Fromth JItraia. j
Bj the news irom England it will be seen that
a heavy financial revulsion is anticipated. There
have been many indications that it was to come
at no distant day.
There has been a steady, progressive rise in
the rates ot discount at the Bank of England for
seven months. In August lat the rate was tar "
per cent., since when it has chang?d seven times.
It is now eight per cent., which Is as high as it
has ever before gone, even In all the great fluc
tuations ot the rates which have occurred since
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY,
the enactment of the Bank Charter act In 1844
the act that abolished the usury laws, which hud
fixed interest at five per cent. But high as the
rate is, the appearances are that it is to go a
great deal higher, ana twelve, flttrcn, and twenty
per cent, are regarded as the possibilities of the
immediate future.
It is quite possible that England Is somewhat
troublea at present by a real scarcity of money.
America, since the close ot the war, has drawn
money from continental Europe to a great ex
tent, with but little other returns than Govern
ment securities. Much that ordinarily goes to
England has thus been diverted, and liiucn also
has been directly drawn from that country; in
deed, it Is to this cause that English writers at
tribute the trouble they expect. It is all. they
say, because England has given . sued heavy
crid.ts 10 America. There has been also a great
activity in. England in almost every branch of
legitimate business, and a consequently groat
demand for circulating medium. According to
a certain school of financiers on thl side the
water, we have been in a dangerous condition
because the demands of business were not quite
up to the amount of money afloat, and we have
been tremendously urged to cut the amount
down by the most perilous of means; and at the
same time, England has been distressed and her
trade cramped by the other extreme. This
scarcity of money "has doubtless influenced the
bank rate in its own degree, and those high
rate are a burden on the poor, at least as posl
tive as the burden of a currency not equal to
specie in value.
But the mere scarcity of money does not suffi
lently explain the already great ilse in the bank
rate, much loss would it explain such a rise as
English financiers expect. The high rates mean
the apprehension ot a coming storm. They
show how Imminent the bank directors believe a
financial crash to be. Speculation has gone to a
great extreme. . In 18t3, 1864, and 18U5 there
were eight hundred and thirty-two new joint
stock companies organized, and the aggregate
capital was 302.000,000, or nearly two billions
of dollars. Many of these companies were the
emptiest possible schemes to make money, and
their number and hollowness show how blind
and widespread is the mania to gut ricli rapidly.
Large numbers ot them took John Bull also in
a very tender point his relations with the
United States. The eager purchaser of so many
pieces ot scrip in a bran new blockade-running
company was not only to get rich in a few davs,
but he was also to Inflict a great blow on Eng
land's great commercial ri val. Here was a donble
happiness. Ho the mania grew. Now the mania
is lor companies to develope the resources ot this
countiy. It takes still more substantial appear
ance, and the London Times declares that the
railway projects to be introduced into Parlia
ment are more vast, than on any previous occa
sion within twenty years.
Such manias precede financial smashes. It is
this very rage of speculation that contributes
most to hurry on and render inevitable (he disas
ter whose oeeper cause is some grand financial
blunder of a people. England's great mistake
the greatest mistake ever made by it purely
money-getting nation was that she was on the
wrong side in onr quarrel. She was on the side
that lost, and cannot pay. One of the most vast
of her financial ventures was an absolute failure,
and she cannot get over the blow. Stockjobbers
are the influence that is bringing the trouble out,
lor stockjobbers, unlike legitimate business men,
are demoralized, so tar as rates of discount go.
They are not alarmed at any tigure, but like true
gamblers make the venture greater, and thus
push rates to such a point that all who are not
in a sound condition must go down. England
feels that she is not prepared tor any such trial,
and thus her financial writers warn that while it
is idle to conjecture when the storm may come,
every man who pledges himself must expect that
it may come at any moment.
In this connection, at a crash In England will
be severely felt here, it may occur to many that
the suspension of the Columbian Insurance
Company, the other day, may have some unseen
relationship wiih what is to come and be more
general. But this is not probable. That sus
pension evidently did not surprise every one as
it did the public. Certain Inside men apparently
knew all about it, and indicated a lively desire
to stand from under. There was an unusually
large movement in the company's stock on the
lew days preceding the disaster. Six hundred
shares were sold, and nearly nve hundred more
were offered for sale. The price of shares sold
on January 13, 17, and 20, run from seventy-one
to flftv-tour per cent. Perhaps this was the final
rush of the operators getting out after the green
onca uau ueeii imri v icoueu iu.
There is a family' likeness to the operations of
the men who make corners. Corner men fix on
someobscure.deprecinted stock; they quietly buy
it up at its naturally low rate, stowing it away
all the time, until they have made it scarce.
Then they begin to inquire for it, and the stock
begins to go up. So, carefully manoeuvring,
they run it to a handsome figure. A case In
our legal reports the other day showed how
1he stock-of a Western railroad had been run
up to eighteen per cent, above its par value.
Bv this time the gudgeons eager to bite are
after it Then the corner men sell, but always
very carelully, and get rid at a high rate of
that w hlch they bought at a very low one. So
the operator makes his money at the expense
of tLe public. .
The directors of the Columbian Company will
have to prove thut they have not, by the use ot
similar tactics, enabled certain insiders to
operate on the multitude. They adopted un
uBr.al means to make their stock attractive.
Ihey paid a. great many dividends for a not
very nourishing company. They had even ad
vertised a dividend at the very last moment.
It has been suggested that this was only a final
one ot manv allurements to set outsiders in
and so help ihe insiders out. The law requires
that a company shall stop when twenty-Hve per
rent, of its capital is gone, and we may be sure
that the Columbian did not stop before it was
necessary. But on the 23d of December the
company announced that its capital was Intact.
It did this by advertising a dividend for it can
only pay a dividend when its capital is all right,
Either, then, that dividend was illegally pro
mised, and v. as intended to deceive; or the com
pany lost one-tourth of its whole capital in the
current month. The public can choose which
ol these it will believe; but whichever it may
choose, neither can connect this suspension with
those more legitimate troubles that will fall
upon us as a consequence of any great financial
crash across the Atlantic,
