New York, Saturday, October 7, 1871. 
i The Schedule of the Public Debt for Hie first of 
October has been published suite our hot Report. 
The reduction in the month of September was $ !3l - 
458,620. making the total reduction under the present 
Administration since Marcli 4. rRrtg, $264.799. wa in 
this sum is included f 233 .s 7-.150 U. S. 5 . 20 Bonds 
bearing 6 per cent. Gold Interest, purchased out ol 
the surplus revenues, and destroyed. The Treasury 
( irculntion has been decreased, in tlie same period, 
tiy the sum of $31,522,170. The 5-20s 6 per rents have 
been refunded into the New 5 per cent. Loan to the 
amount of $62,426,300, and further subscriptions to 
liic N e\\ Lon© to the amount ot $r ^,7,^7,.- have vet 
to be applied to refunding 5 - 20 S. Thus far the Annual 
reduction of Gold Interest is $14,451,128 a year, and 
when the New Loan is liquidated at the Treasury 
the further sum of 75,736 a year will be added to 
this reduction. Thu whole Debt now stands by 
comparison;

llicgcncial trade of tlie city continues active, al¬ 
though there begins to be a falling off in the line of 
Dry Goods as tlie season advances. The receipts 
and exports of Produce arc on the increase, and 
accounts from the AA'esl represent a large accumula¬ 
tion of Gram soon Ui come forward. The value ol 
Domestic Exports for the week,exclusive of above, 
$400,000 Silver Bullion from Uie Pat ilk mines, Is 
$5,500,000. Cotton is higher, and although the re¬ 
ceipts of the new crop arc behind last year, fhc dif¬ 
ference in price more than qualifies tlie deficiency in 
bales. The Liverpool market is buoyant and the 
Manchester consumption on an unexampled scale. 
Great Britain exported in August of the products oi 
its nnuesand manufactures no less a sum than twenty 
millions sterling, or about $ioo,c*»,ooo. 
The Gold market has fluctuated between j 1567,11353; 
%t 14I4 per cent, since last Saturday, There is still a 
scarcity, outside the Treasury, for cash delivery, and 
the sales of tlie week from the Treasury are a million 
less than tlie amount required to be paid back for 
Customs, 
In the London money market, as in our own, there 
is more steadiness than last week. The Bank- here 
have improved their strength by contracting their 
loans, and money is ruling at 7 per cent., with excep¬ 
tions to New Yorkers, at 6 per cent. The Stock 
market shows some inclination to improvement, but 
the advance is neither vigorous nor well sustained. 
P nited States are linn. Southern State Bonds lower 
by 2 per cent, on f ennessees and 3 percent, on South 
1 arolina, The Railway Bonds are fairly supported, 
and so are the Express, Telegraph and'Pacific Mail 
Stocks. 1 he Railroad Shares, after some rise, leave 
off about the same as on our last report.
