Gold opened at 139%, declined to 139%,
was strong and. fluctuated during the day
front 139% to 139%, and closed dull at 139%,
'with 4 downward tendency. The cause .of
the .weakness of the gold market is at
tributed to the failure - Of the foreign bank
ers to keels their bills to the specie shipping
pOint.' : but the number of bills on the Mar
ket is in excelsS of the demand, lowenrates
arc accepted, and a large amount of gold
pressed on the Market at ivmoment when
money is scarce and commands from 7to
9 per cent. on collateral. The bulls in gold
have such-an unprofitable lot to carry that
many get discouraged and sell, perhaps, at
the eve of a sharpyise, which is almoSt un
avoidable.
Bonds; in sympathy with the /lodine in
gold, have been presed on the' market and
sold from !Y, per cent. les,s than early
in the day. This does not come unexpected,
'AS it was only a brokers market, and the
public had, no interest in the rise; but more
at stake at a. deOline.

-The Philadelphia Pres 4 says : It is to be
regretted that the Monthly statements of
.
the public debt arc not made up in a More
, intelligible form. The mixing up of the
gold certificates and the treasury balances
with the details of - the debt proper tend to
.confound the public; and - the monthly re
port'of fluctuations in the total Ore direct
ly, Misleading. It is not legitimate account
ing to deduct the omouutS, of coin and cur-t
rency from the total obligations. The funds
on:hand are not strictly speaking available
for the liquidation of so much debt, and
therefore should not be deducted from it ;
._thosr are actually appropriated for the pay..
ments or interest and of the departMentol
disbursements. If these funds are credited
1, against the debt, by the same rule the ac
crued interest mid themementa duo on all
accounts,shoula be added to the liabilities.
The gold certificates are not a part of the
debt proper and shouldtaf presented in a
separate acixfunt. Our whole system of
treasury accounts is kept in such a Manner
which renders the published statements ut
terly.. unintelligihle to the public. In the
daily statements of the sub-treasury no dis
tinction is made between gold and curren
tly in either the trarisactions or halances ; so
that an exhibit intended for the informa
tion of the public conveys none:whatever,
but is. actually misleading. We observe
that liOn. Samuel Hooper has introduced a
bill providing for the monthly publication
of a statement of the national debt, so ar
ranged and elaSsified that at least an ap
proach to our financial situation can be
regularly got at by the public. generally,
This same Lill also aims to restrict the
speculating facilities of our national finan-
