STATUE OF ROGER WILLIAMS. 
Senator Sprague formally delivered, April 8 , 
to Senator Morrill, Chairman of flic Committee 
on Public Buildings and Grounds, the statue of 
Roger Williams, contributed by the State of 
Rhode Island lo the National Gallery In the old 
hall of Representatives. 
REDEMPTION OF FRACTIONAL CURRENCY. 
Of the first, issue ol' $ 20 , 000,000 fractional cur¬ 
rency, made in 1803, and known at. tho time as 
“ postal currency," $4,445,000 remains unre¬ 
deemed. During lhe past, year, $89,418 of this 
currency was sent to I lie Treasury for redemp¬ 
tion, lint flic nueat which it is now received de¬ 
creases, so vapidly that it promises to cease en- 
t iroly jp another year. Not far front $4,000,000 
ol tlie postal currency, it is believed, will never 
ho heard from, having been lost or destroyed in 
circulation. Of the second issue or about $33,- 
000,000, made ill 1803, there Is still outstanding 
tho sum of $3,246,000. The redemption during 
(lie past year amounted to $151,455. The poor 
paper upon which this issue is printed made it 
more easily destroyed than t he first issue, and it 
is believed at the Treasury that mum than $2,- 
500 ,000 will never crime in for redemption. Tho 
total amount ot tlie first two issues of fractional 
currency lost or worn out while in circulation 
will, according to these estimates, exceed $0,500,- 
000 , or about fifteen per cent.of the whole issue. 
This sum is, of course, o clear gain to tho Treas¬ 
ury, and an entire loss to the people. 
THE SOUTHERN CLAIMS COMMISSION 
Is in session, and lias given public notice of 
their desire, to have the petitions addressed to 
them for the allowance ol claims accompanied 
by all 1 ho written evidence, of whatever char¬ 
acter. in possession of the claimants. They also 
decided that, their rules did not require the 
“iron-clad" oath attached to petitions to bo 
wholly in writing, but. that a printed form may 
be used. 
DIM JOINT Kton COMMISSION. 
A dispatch dated April 9, says:—"There is 
high authority for tin* statement that the Fish¬ 
ery question, and also tho question of tho Ala¬ 
bama Claims, have already been so fur disposed 
of by the Joint High Commission as to bo no 
longer matters of discussion at tlie sessions of 
tho Commission. It may, indeed, he said that 
tlie basis nf an agreement on the Alabama 
Claims has already been secured which will 
probably be satisfactory to the representatives 
of both countries. It is also ascertained that 
tilt* questions named above have occupied less 
of tlie lime of the Commission than tin* not less 
important one of the San Juan Boundary ease, 
which has been the most difficult and compli¬ 
cated, and which has caused the most discussion, 
research and examination. Tliis. it is stated, is 
now tho only point of difference between the 
United States and the English Commissioners, 
and the duties of the Commission would have 
closed by this time but for this question.' 
MASONIC HONORS TO EARL DK GREY.

Earl do Grey, Grand Master of England, and 
member of tlie Joint High Commission, a Ma¬

MONEY AM) TRADE AFFAIRS. 
Nkw York, Saturday, April 15 , 1871 . 
Business during the week has been generally ac¬ 
tive. Trade is large in both Foreign and Domestic 
Merchandise. There is a good export demand for 
Domestic Produce, such as Cotton, Breadstutis, Pro¬ 
visions, Petroleum, and although our trade balances, 
in consequence of the heavy consumption going on 
in Foreign merchandise, seem to be running against, 
us, tlie difference is not so large as not to be conven¬ 
iently made up by tlie export of Gold and Silver Bul¬ 
lion, the product of the mines of the Pacific States. 
Since first of July last, the beginning of the current 
Fiscal Year, known as the Fiscal Year 3 S 71 , New 
York has exported in Gold and Silver, $ 56 , 370 , 000 , or 
$ 48 , 000,000 more than was received here of Foreign 
Coin. Yet tlieTreasury still holds 107 , 500 , 0 x 1 against 
which the outstanding Gold Notes amount to only 
$ 24 , 000 , 000 . The difference is owned by the Treas¬ 
ury. The price of Gold is ruling i lo'iffi.i 10 G 73 cent 
On Thursday thcTrcasury sold $ 2 , 000,000 at Strt'/t-® 
110 K 1? cent. There was a much larger amount |$ 8 ,- 
000 , 000 ) bid fur at tro@.tio '/i per cent. On XVednes- 
day the Treasury bought $ 2 , 000,000 of U. S. 5 ,- 20 s. at 
xoe/y^z( k,% per cent, and accrued Gold Interest from 
last Dividend day. in the open mailed they ate now 
$ cent, foi the January and July issues, 
including the accrued three and a-half months’ inter¬ 
est, worth in Currency $ tent., which brings the 
price very close to the Treasury purchase. 
The subscriptions to the New 5 # cent. Loan of the 
United States now reach about $60,000,000. and a cor¬ 
responding sum of U. S. 6 <f) cents, 5 . 20 s, will soon be 
cancelled by conversion. Ail the subscriptions thus 
far come from our own Ranks and people. The For¬ 
eign Bankers are not likely to do much until the new 
Bonds are ready for delivery in London and Frank¬ 
fort, which will be in the course of the month of May. 
Meanwhile our 5 - 20 S have gone up in these two mar¬ 
kets to figures very near to the par of Gold for princi¬ 
pal and accrued Interest. The 5-20S. of 1862 are 2@2 )4 
per cent, above the par of Gold including the May cou¬ 
pon. The Bank of England has reduced the rate for 
Money to 2 % $ cent, pet annum .which is favorable for 
our Bonds, both Old and new. The rate of Exchange 
on London here is no per cent, for Gold, or about 
i 2 i }4 per cent, for Currency. The rate, it must be 
borne in mind, is settled on the old conventional value 
of 4 dollars 44 cents 4 mills to the £ sterling, or Eng¬ 
lish sovereign, the actual value uf which, in ou r Gold 
Coin, is $ 4.84 at the Custom House, and if the sover¬ 
eign is new and full weight, will produce $ 4 . 85^2 at 
our mint. 
Money, which we quoted as dearer last week than 
it had ruled for some time, has returned to 6@7 $ cent, 
per annum, and there is a good supply on these terms 
on loans, returnable on call. On mercantile paper, 7 <j 7:3 
percent.; on Bond and Mortgage on best improved 
City property, 7 per cent. 
No abatement is experienced in the demand for the 
Railroad Stocks in XX’all Street, mainly, of course, on 
speculation, while the inquiry for Railroad Bonds is 
also on the increase, the Gold Bonds and Land Mort¬ 
gage of the Pacific Roads taking the lead. There is a 
fair prospect that all the Bonds of the Midland Coun¬ 
ties Road of New York—New York to Oswego—will 
soon be placed. They carry 7 per cent, in Gold. The 
Southern State Stocks are moderately active. They 
ar.e dealt in r.n speculation at the Stock Exchange, 
chiefly by Brokers connected in one way or another 
with the different Southern States. 
The City Bank movement is further reduced this 
week, and now stands:

persons eating colored cheese, nhoieilie poisoning
