RESL'.11PTI0.\ AND BANK RESERVES.

As will be seen from an announcement elsewhere, the

Comptroller of the Currency has called for another

report from the national banks. For several reasons,

the aggregates of this report will be looked for with

more interest than usual. We are at a critical period of

the year, and one of the periodical drains has just been

made by the country banks on the banks of the finan-

cial centres. It is always instructive to watch the

relative position of the various classes of our banks at

this season, and to compare one year with another.

Besides, there will be a special importance in the forth-

coming reports, arising out of various important move-

ments which are going on in our banking system.

These changes are due to a number of conflicting causes.

One of these is, of course, the depression of trade^

which is lessening the business of the national banks

throughout the country, and is likely, if it continues, to

operate much more conspicuously hereafter. Other

changes are being developed in our financial system bythe recent bank legislation; and others, again, by the

approach of specie payments. If we compare the pre-

vious reports of the Comptroller together, we shall 8«e

how these various causes have produced, since the panio

of 1873, their distiijctive results. In the last report of

that officer, there are, on pages 82 to 91, a series of sta-

tistics, from which we compile the following table,

showing the movements of the 48 national banks in

this city:HOTXHENTS IN THE RATIONAL BANKS OP I««W TOBS,

Although these figures are confined to the national

banks, and leave out of view the private b.-inks and tho

State banks, still such statistics give us very important

information as to the progress of our banking system,

especially in connection with the points which we intend

just now to illustrate, and which are chiefly connected

with the deposits and the reserves. The mischievous

theory has been adopted by an influential body of agi-

tators, in and out of Congress, that our national bank

regulations in regard to the cash reserves and the issues

of notes have never been sufficieutly elastic; and legisla-

tion has been devised to relax them, under the belief that

the activity of business was in this way susceptible of

being stirred up, and industrial prosperity restored. It

was in vain that the advocates of sound banking ex-

pounded the true causes of our commercial stagnation,

and the inefiiciency of the proposed remedies. Thepredominant desire was in favor at making some effoita

to modify the banking system. To carry out the newpolicy, two great changes were introduced into our bank-

ing legislation. The restriction on the emission of bank

notes was repealed, so that instead of the .iggregate being

limited to 30C millions, as formerly, the issues might be

enlarged, with scarcely any other check than is afforded

by the impossibility of emitting notes and keeping them

afloat at a profit. As to the reserves, they were formerly

held against the bank notes, as well as the deposits. But

by the new legislation the reserve against the notes was

reduced to five per cent, and was to bo deposited at

Washington. This item forms the lasi line in the fore-

going table. As the whole subject, however, is so familiar

to our readers, we need not say more about the principle

482 THE CHRONICLR [May 20, I&76.

of these changes than that they were intended to carry

into practical effect the inflationist theory that whenever

an abundance of currency is poured into the channels of

the circulation, an infallible specific is always supplied

against business stagnation. It was to induce the banks

to issue more currency that the restrictions were taken

off the aggregate of their authorized notes, and that the

banks were allowed to disperse and pay out a part of

their previous reserves of greenbacks.

The question has long occupied the public attentior^,

and has frequently been discussed in our columns, howthe laws passed for the inflation of the currency and

credit system of this country, have been prevented from

producing their expected results. The inquiry is ex-

tremely practical and suggestive, but we are scarcely

beginning as yet to feel the full effects of the new legis-

lation. It would, therefore, at present, be premature to

expect that an exhaustive exposition of the conservative

checks and safeguards is possibfe. What is certain is,

that the banks have not been so eager as was anticipated

to avail themselves of the liberty of increasing in-

definitely their note issues, or of weakening themselves

by letting their cash reserves run down to a very low

level. These facts are abundantly evident, and they are

confirmed by the tabular statistics above given in regard

to our New York national banks. "We compile below a

similar table for the banks of the fourteen reserve cen-

tres, Boston, Albany, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Balti-

more, Washington, New Orleans, Louisville, Cincinnati,

Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, and St. Louis.

The chief topics of importance in this table are the

Steady persistence with which the reserves have held

their high level. The banks of these fourteen central

cities have to keep a cash reserve of 25 per cent, and

they have actually held 33 to 34 per cent, or from 28 to

30 millions more than the legal minimum. It has been

affiimed that this accumulation of reserve is due in manycases to the dulness of trade, which prevents the banks

from lending all they desire of their idle deposits. Bethis as it may, there is no doubt that, unless in excep-

tional cases, a wholesome determination to keep amplecash reserves has been developed among our banks, andis one of the compensative benefits resulting from the

Jay Cooke panic. The conservative policy of holding

large reserves seems to be still more pronounced amonsthe country banks, as will be seen from the subjoined

table, which completes the Comptroller's statistics,

except for California.^

. Among the general conclusions to which these statistics

obviously lead, one of the most apparent is,that the national

banks are vigorously at work to strengthen themselves,

with a view to the severe pressure which may attend the

preliminary stages leading to resumption, and that, as

there are undoubtedly not a few exceptions to this

general rule, the Comptroller at Washington should use

special vigilance in his investigations, by means of inspec-

tion and examination, to bring to light sucH weakness or

abuses as mav anywhere prevail.

WHAT WE MOSr WANT.

The past week has seen two political gatherings of

much significance. One of them was in this city. Thepersons attending it were in no sense politicians, but

they certainly represent the sentiment of the large body

of the thinking men in this section of the country at

least. We fancy that those who direct parties, little

appreciate the depth, earnestness, and extent of this

movement. They may heed it and be guided by it; but

if they do not, they will feel it in the end. There is

certainly a widespread determination among the better

class of our people to-day, to be called by no party

name,' and to follow no one's dictation. They see the

fearful plight we are in, and their influence will be

thrown in such a way as best to relieve it. We must

have reform in our civil service; we must be fr*ie from

the corruption in which We are steeped ; we must, as

speedily'as possible, return to a specie standard ; and any

man whose surroundings and life speak a doubtful word

on these points, will, we think, find that party machinery

has lost its eificiency. For these reasons, we look upon

the meeting in this city as one of great importance

—

greater even than the honored names of those attending

it would usually indicate.

But we have had another gathering during the week,

representative of the very opposite elements. Cincinnati

has made itself celebrated by a party assembly which

has declared itself opposed to these very measures. Tobe sure, they talk about reform, but such words no

longer deceive. If these people could be put into a

place by themselves, where their policy would not harmany one else, we could bestow upon them no greater

evil than a full compliance with their expressed wish.

What is it the West needs now more than any other

thing? Certainly it is capital. And yet, these menspeak of repudiation as flippantly as if it were the

merest trifle; they propose to float us in another sea of

greenbacks, and to wipe out our banking system with

one flourish of the pen. It would certainly seem that

the free-school system must be very defective in that

State.

It is satisfactory to know, however, that but little

importance need be attached to the insane utterances of

these men. There is not the least danger that either of

our political parties will adojit any such programme, and

if it did, the 'intelligence of the country would be a

unit against it. No mau who thinks, can he,sitate a

moment where to stand, even if self-interest were the

only influence affecting his judgment. We are a bor-

rowing nation. We have energy and enterprise andresourcifs undeveloped without limit. All we need

is capital. And Europe has it for us. Very manyof the old channels for investment have been shut up

within a year or two—Turkey, Egypt, Spain, South

America; in fact, nearly all countries where much capi-

tal is needed, excepting the United States, have fallen

into disrepute, but our securities have been constantly

May 20, 1876] THE CHRONICLE 483

growing in favor. Here, then, is the wealth of Europe

on the point, as it were, of throwing itself into our

ndustries. Still there is a hesitancy, a natural one, be-

fore the movement becomes general and 'ree. When weshow that we are true to ourselves, this will be over-

come. The necessary requisite for inspiring confidence

among capitalists, is the righting of our monetary sys

jtem. If we prove that we dare to do that now, even

Ithough it be through suflfcring, our credit will be estab-

lished. Will not the West and South, who are to-day

calling loudly for capital, heed this ? Where, on the

Iface of the earth, can be found richer lands and more

jiromising surroundings than both of those sections

present ? But the power to develop them is wanting.

Let us only show that we dare to be honest, and that

power will quickly come.

ECONOMY IN THE POST-OFFICE DEPiRTME\T.

The Post-Office Appropriation bill has been under

discussion in the House, for the two weeks past, and the

facts thus developed are very instructive. As we have

often stated, decreased government expenses is the de-

mand the public makes, and the figures for 1860 and

1875 are constantly, and, by many, thoughtlessly, paraded

to show that it must and can be accomplished. We say

thoughtlessly paraded, because it is becoming more and

more evident, as the investigation goes on, that there can

j

be very little material reduction in expenses, unless someportion of the public which is making this demand, is will-

ing to give up something. A comparison of the totals

now and in the ante-war period prove nothing, if westop with those totals. They are a good starting point

—

a guide-board indicating simply which way to look.

i?ut we must go underneath them, and study their

growth, if we would determine what our hopes and ex-

I

pectations in the way of economy may be. With this

' purpose, a brief examination of some of these figures

published, showing a gradual increase from 12 millions

in 1860 to 33 millions in 1875; but we begin to obtain

The comparison .here given with 1860 is inaccurate, orat least misleading, in the second and third items, "Totalexpenditures" and "Grants paid out of the GeneralTreasury." By turning to the reports of that time, it

will be found that the actual expendittires were really

only about 12 millions (instead of over 19 millions,

as given), and the government grant for 1860 was(instead of over 11 millions) only between three

and four millions. A standing deficiency, however,of previous years, reaching $7,785,608 at the close

of 1850, was provided for in 1860, and is now in-

cluded in the totals above. Proper allowance shouldhave been made in the table for this obvious fact, butwe forgive the inaccuracy in consideration of the details

furnished. We suppose the department or the Congress-

man who used the table could not resist the temptation

of giving this deficiency in this form, desiring to makethe total increase to 1875, as compared with 1860, appearless unfavorable. Still, this error does not enter into oraffect the other items. But to show more clearly the late

progress made in some of these expenditures since the

war ended and the postal system was re-established

throughout the South, we give the following further

Now, at first sight it would certainly appear to be theeasiest possible undertaking to cutoff or make deductionsfrom innumerable items in these schedules. For instance,

in 1874 the aggregate of mail routes in the United States•was 269,097 miles, and in 1875 was 277,873 miles, an in-

crease, say, of a little less than 9,000 miles, and yet thecompensation to postmasters increased twelve hundredthousand dollars; again, the length of railroad routes in

1873 was 63,457 miles, and in 1875 was 70,083 miles, anincrease of only about 7,000 miles, aud yet the cost ofrailroad service increased from $7,257,196 to $9,216,518;again, since 1873 the mail routes have had 21,000 milesadded to them, and yet the business of the country hasfallen off ererywhere, presenting no increa.sed need forpost-offices—thus- unnecessarily expanding the Govern-ment service, while each individual has been compelled toretrench and exercise the strictest economy; again, thefree-delivery cities in 1873 were 1,499, and in 1S75 hadbeen increased to 2,195, or an addition of 690 cities in

the two years, and all of them, according to the Post-master-General's report, at very considerable expense tothe department over and above the receipts for postage.These would all seem to be points for the pruning-knife,and also very many other items in the above statements,

81

which the reader will readily detect as strangely ioc

sistent with one another and with the present requi

ment for economy. But it seems that none of them (

be touched, without, as it is called, "cripplingi

Government."

Let us, by way of illustration, examine one sin

point, for we have space for no more. Take the fr

delivery cities. Aud here we should remember that t

special service is really for the. benefit of a very f

localities, and that only three citie.a, New York, Best

and Philadelphia, are self- sustaining. The original pt

ciple was, that it should be established only whereseemed to be a busine.^s necessity. But latterly the li

has been changed, so that whenever a Congressman wai

to do a " big thing " for his district, he " rushes " to t

Postmaster-General, gives a free-delivery system to soi

small city, makes a host of friends, and is, of course,

elected. In this way, this branch of the service h.is bt

extended, until at present many cities are included c<

taining a population not exceeding 14,000, aud some,

understand, down as low as 12,000 persons, by the i

census.. Now, is there a question in the mind of s

man as to the folly and wrong of this proceedin

Here is a luxury—not a necessity at all, except in lai

cities—which the great body of the people are requi

to pay for, that communities may be tickled which h

elect Congressmen. And yet, when this subject is

for discussion in the House, we hear one gentlen.

charging Mr. Holman, of Indiana, because he advocat

a change of policy in this respect, with having lost 1

judgment—" pursuing a single idea until the line he I

"mounted has become a groove; the groove has work"itself into a rut, and the gentleman has fallen into

'gorge as deep as the canons of Colorado, where t

" sunlight can only reach when at its meridional heigh:

That certainly would be considered by his co

stituenta an admirable figure, if they could on

be made to see its application. But, as t

question stands to-day, every community wthink what a blessing it would have been to the counti

if the Congressman uttering this sentiment, and all 1

foUowei-s, had got down into the same cafion and ev

let it close on them forever, rather than to have defeat

this and other like measures. For it is simply one of

very large class of proposed economies—each small

itself, but all of them luxuries which have of late yea

been added mainly to increase the influence ©f Congres

men, under the idea that the Government is organized

bestow gifts upon every hungry community.

It appears useless to discuss this subject further. Tl

bill has now passed out of the House. Another yea

when our election is over, we may hope our legislate

will display more courage. But the one truth we ha^

to learn is, that until we are willing, as communities ar

as individuals, to have our Government remodeled on i

old basis and give up its maternal side the growth (

late years—until we are willing to do this, it is folly t

hold up the figures of 1860 and 1875 together, for the

have no features in common.

London. Saturday. May 6. 1876.

There has been ratiler a better d(;maad fo r nion sy daring the

past week, but no material improvemeut in the rates of discount

Indeed, although a better inquiry has existed, the rates of discount

are still as low aa they can reasonably be, the best three months'

bills being taken in the open market at If per cent. There is

i'Ull no reason to believe in any change from this condition of

affairs. Now and then a solid investment, each as an Indian loan,

nr a loan for the Metropolitan Board of Works, is introduced to

public Botice, and this ie, of coarse, quickly subscribed. Theapplications are certainly not so numerous as they used to be in

the days of "enterprise," when nearly everylrody, including

clerks, "wrote," with a view to secure a premium ,if any. Now,and undoubtedly the circumstance is a satisfactory one, the

applications are of a honajide charactfr, and, though they do not

amount to the millions sterlings which excited astonishment in

former days, they are usually twice as much as is required, andthis fact alone is sufficient to show that there is a large supply

of money seeking profitable employment. Unfortunately, these

loans, which are sound investments, are likely to be few and far

between. Prudent nations, dependencies or corporations, are

unwilling to run unnecessarily into debt, and it is obviously this

fact that enables them to borrow on easy terms. Were the Gov-

ernment of India to ask for a loan of, say, £30,000,000 in a time of

peace, there would be no termination to the argument as to the

necessity of demanding so much, and yet Turkey, Egypt and Peruhave had the boldness to ask for a similar sum, without produc-

ing much comment or excitement, while almost everyone knewthat they were borrowing to pay for the service of previous loans

at raiaons rates of interest. Financiers have, for some years past,

traded upon the undeveloped resources of these large borrowing

countries, but they were astute enough not to state that as long

as those resources were undeveloped, the available wealth wasmuch below what the popular mind imagined. We fear that the

inhabitants of Turkey, Kgypt and Pern do not possess the energyand activity calculated to develop the natural resources they

possess, and aa far as Turkey is concerned, the misgovernmentno so evident must tend to destroy nearly all hope for the imme-diate future. There is naturally, just now, a good deal of talc

about the want of " enterprise." If this means that the sad

experience of the last few years, both commercially and financi-

ally, baa induced the community to conduct their operations with

more judgment, then the change has been a desirable one, andDOW that the principal " enterprising" Srms have been weededout, the general position of affairs ought to be more satisfactory.

This should certainly be the case in commercial circles, as a fair

amount of legitimate buainess is believed to be in progress,

attended with moderate profits ; but in the financial world muchquietnets prevails, the general public having as yet by no meanssurmounted the difficulties in which they have lately been

entangled. No doubt, however, by the exercise of strict economy,the saving power of the country is again on the increase, but it is

not likely that foreign loans or public companies will prove in

future to be an attractive form of investment.

There has been a moderate demand for money darlog the wsek,

there having been a somewhat iocr«aaad loqairy in eonneetlon

with a new Indian loan. Tiie rates of discount show, boweverrno material change, being as follows :

The return of the Bank of England shows chiefly a large

increase in the note circulation, amounting to £S1'3,236. This is

said to be due to the necessity which exists for a more extended

system of cash payments. There is a moderate increase in th*

stock of bullion, viz., of £118,574; but, owing to the augmented

note circulation, there is a diminution in the t'>tal reserve of

£642,556. The proportion of reserve to liabilities amounts to 47-85

per cent, against 43°66 per cent last week.

There has been scarcely any demand for gold for export, but as

there have been only moderate arrivals from abroad, the opera-

tions at the Bank have not been very important. During the

week included in the Bank return, however, £378,000 had, on

balance, been sent into the establishment. The silver market haa

been decidedly quieter, and the price of fine bars is now 53^. per

Tenders were received at the Bank of England, on Wednesday,

for £500,000 in aovernment bills on India, £320,000 being allotted

to CalentU, £160,000 to Bombay and £1,000 to Madras. Tender*

on all Presidencies at Is. 8id. will be entertained in fall. It will

be seen, therefore, tliat the Government are at length eompelled to

accept the market price of the day. The Hydaspes has taken oat

£371,928inBilver tothe East; but there will probably be leM

demand in future, if the Indian Oovemment continue to sell their

drafts.

The Metropolitan Board of Works announce that they are pre-

pared to receive tenders for £1,350,000 in bonds bearing 3^ per

cent interest per annum, the object of the loan being for newworaf, for the conversion of existing debt, and loans to such other

metropolitan tiodies as are authorized to borrow from the Board.

The minimum price is fixed at £99 per £100 block.

Tenders have recently been received at the Bank of England

for the new Indian 4 per cent loan of £4,000,000. The amount

Oo the Stock Ezcbange, baaioese lias been exceedingly quiet,

and a dull tone bas prevailed. In the foreign market the amountof busine>8 in progress ha8 been very moderate, and nearly all

classes of securities have given way in prices. The speculation

in progress is chiefly for the fall, and in this speculative cliques

are assisted by the absence of investors, and perhaps )>y the dis-

position of the public to sell, rather than purchase stock. Theclosing prices of consols and the principal American securities at

We have had a week of fine weather, but the nights have beenC3ld, and there have been complaints of frost. No serious damage,however, is reported. The crops, on tlie whole, are said topromise well. The trade for wheat during the week has beenexceedingly quiet. Choice qualities of produce are steady in

value ; but inferior kinds have wiih difliculty supported formerprices. A feature in the trade of late has been a demand for

cargoes off the coast on French account, but it has not beensufficiently active to produce much effect. The quantity of wheatafloat is about 1,250,000 quarters.

The return for the week ending April 29, shows that in the 150principal markets of England and Wales, the deliveries of home-grown wheat amounted to 11,916 quarters, against 58,799 quarters

last year. In the whole Kingdom, it is estimated that they

amounted to 167,664 quarters, against 235,200 quarters in 1875.

Since harvest, the sales in the 150 principal markets have been

1,571,893 quarters, against 2,108,313 quarters ; and it is computed

that in the whole Kingdom they have been 6,287,600 quarters,

against 8,433,350 quarters in 1874-5. It is estimated that the

following quantities of wheat and flour have been placed upon

the British markets since harvest

Tbe IHoner Blarket and Financial Sltoatlon.—A growing«ase in money, a feverish and depressed tone in stocks, and a fair

business in investment securities, have been the general points of

the past week.'There is nothing new in commercial circles worthy of special

comment ; a shade more of confidence is shown by the purchasersof commercial paper than there was a few weeks ago, indicating

a better feeling as to the mercantile situation, though it is still

noticeable that a wide difference is made between the prices of

the best class of paper and that of a little lower grade. Strictly

prime paper is sold quite readily at 4^ to 5 per cent., with excep-tions at 4 per cent., while paper not as good runs up to 8 and 9per cent. On call loans, rates have a lower tendency, and there is

a great deal of money pressing for use on government collaterals

at 2^@3 per cent., while on ordinary stock collaterals the rates

are 3@4 per cent.

On Thursday, the Bank of England report showed a gain for

the week of £237,000 in specie, and the discount rale remainedunchanged at 2 per cent.

The last statement of the New York City Clearing-Housebanks, issued May 13, showed an increase of f1,979,975 in theexcess above their 25 per cent, leg&l reserve, the whole of suchexcess being $9,549,325, against $7,569,350 the previous week.The following table shows the changes from the previous

United Slates Bond*.—There has been a larger business in

government bonds this week, and prices have generally ad-

vanced a fraction. The demand appears to have been well dis-

tributed, and not to have come from any particular quarter,though we Etill observe considerable purchases made for Balti-

more account, where a good many bonds have gone within thepast thirty days. As tietween this market and London, trans-actions do not seem to have been important either way. Theprospect of the passage of the 4i per cent, bond bill in Congresshaving become less imminent, there is not now so mnch dis-

crimination against the five-twenties of 1865 and 1867.Closing prices dally have been as follows:

State and Railroad Bond».-:The principal movement inState bonds was in Tennessees, which have advanced underconsiderable purchases to 43 for the new bonds and 44, or there-abouts, for the old. There is said to be a home demand forthese bonds, indicating a more hopeful feeling there as to thefinances. The governing committee of the New York StockExchange have decided to admit to the Board list the Louisiana7 per cent, consols, as follows: No. 1 to 8,329, inclusive, each

lea I

11

for $1,000 ; No. 1 to 871, inclusive, each for $500; No. 1 to 3,541,inclusive, each for $100; the last to be called as " small bonds."The bids for the Cincinnati six per cent, gold bonds were openedthis week, and it was reported that the proposals largely exceededin amount the $1,500,000 advertised for. The bids were fio)

103 to 105, and the awards were from 105 to 103i, all under tl

latter amount being excluded. The City of Providence ne.._Water Loan of $1,500,000 30-year 5 per cent, gold bonds wasawarded to Messrs. Blake, Brothers jc Co.Railroad bonds have been fairly dealt in, though at varyin"

prices. In the Pacific issues, the prices of the first mortgagebonds have been strong, while some of the junior issues havebeen lower—notably, the Union Pacific sinking fund bonds,which declined today to 89} in sympathy with the price of thestock. Central of New Jersey convertible bonds have also beenweak with the stock. Comparing the present year with last,

there is a decided improvement in the situation regarding rail-

road bonds, as the market wag then depressed by the occur-rence of new and unlooked-for defaults, and this year we havehad scarcely any new defaults, and several companies have re-

sumed payment of their interest in full ot in part.

A dispatch from Washington, today, reported that the JudiciaryCommittee agreed to an amendment to the Pacific Railroad hill,

that the sinking fund to be paid by the Union Pacific be fixed at

$750,000 per annum tor the first ten years, and $1,000,000 perannum thereafter, until the whole debt and interest be paid,these sums to be exclusive of the 5 per cent net earnings andgovernment freight. The other roads to pay pro rata of theirindebtedness in accordance with the above.

Railroad and niscellaneona Stock*.—The stock markethas been unsettled, with frequent fluctuations from day to day,and closes with considerable depression. The same general in-

fluences have been at work which we have recently commentedon—principally the reduction in railroad freights, the waron Western Union Telegraph, and the depression amongthe coal-carrying roads ; the illness of Commodore Vanderbilthas been less talked of, although it appears that he is

yet too sick to leave his bed. On I'hursday, a remarkablemovement took place in Pacific Mail, which opened at SIJ, sold

up to 24i on large transactions, and then fell back to 19|, andfinally closed at 20f. The cause for this singular fluctuation wasattributed to some son of operation preparatory to the comingelection, but the precise character of the movement has not yet

been explained ; to-day, the stock opened at 21, sold up to 23,

and closed at 22|. Nothing of a definite character has transpiredin regard to the attitude of the railroads on the freight question,

although numero.is statements have appeared in the news-papers that they are cutting under on Westbound freights.

The only two roads forming parts of trunk lines which re-

port their earnings, are the Michigan Central and Ohio &Mississippi, and these for the latest weeks rep^)rted showa material increase over last year. The Atlantic & Pacific Tele-graph Company has given notice of the issue of 5,000 shares of

new stock, which, if actually issued, will increase the stock by$500,000, and if paid for at i8 will furnish $90,000 to the com-pany. They also notice a further reduction in rates. The mainquestion now affecting the Western Union stock is : Will theypay any quarterly dividend in July"? The questions more re-

motely Effecting the value of both these stocks are these : 1. Is

the present attack of the A. & P. Company made for the pur-

pose of securing an amalgamation ? 2. If they cannot obtain a

consolidation, can they reduce the Western Union receipts so as

to prevent the payment of dividends, without crippling them-selves? 3. If the whole telegraphing business is in the hands of

these two companies, will they probably continue to quarrel?

These seem to be the main points touching the permanent pros-

May 20, 1876.] THE CHRONICLE 469

pects of the telfg^rapli stocks, as there can be little doubt of a

lontinued large business in telegraphing, and there is no imme-diate prospect of a further competition to divide it, such aa ex-

ists among the railroads.

Today, the moat important decline was in New Jersey Cen-

tral, which fell off to 83, apparently from the lack of any goodsupport. Delaware Lackawanna & Western was al«o weak

;

and as to both stocks, the public has bo little information alx>ut

Railroads in PeiinsylTania.

From advance sheets of the Sate Auditor's report we glean

information of value to the railroad public. The system re-

ported on, covers 7,010.39 miles of main and 1,807.71 miles

of branch railroads, or a total of 8,874.21 miles. Connected

with and auxiliary to this mileage, there were at the clofe

of 1875 1,615.95 miles of second-track and 2,831.26 miles of

sidings, turnouts, &c. The total length of track to be main-

tained is therefore 13,320.42 miles. Of this length. 2,829.84

miles are laid with steel rail. About one-fifth of the whole

coneiete of extensions into or from adjoining States. To complete

existing linf s or lines under construction, there is in project or

progress 1,308.64 miles of road, which is represented in the capital

accounts of the companies affected thereby.

In the following tables the aggregates of the years 1874 and

1875 are compared

From this it appears that the completed main track of the sys-

tem, increased by 185.63 miles, the branih track by 10.07 miles,

the second track by 9 67 miles, and the sidings by 98.12 miles.

The increase in steel tracks was 90.70 miles ; the length of line

in progress is increased by 312.92 miles.

The equipment of the above railroads at the same periods com-

pares as follows

The " locomotives" were very nearly " stationary" as to num-ber. Tlie same may be said 91 the ordinary passenger, bag-

gage and freight cars collectively. In the number of coal and

ore cars, however, there is the material increase of 7i,007, or

nearly 10 per cent.

extent the bonds of the conpany, paid off through the sinkingfund. We may also add that during the whole period no bond,coupon or other obligation of the company has become due with-'out being promptly paid on presentation, nor have tbe employees' of the company ever waited for their money one day beyond the

Tegular pay-day in each month. It is proper to say, in this con-nection, that the question of ability to pay a dividend at this time

( (Jan., 1876,) has not been affected in any degree by the purchaseof Additional property in tbe last two years." The annual report made to the State Engineer shows tbe loss

-of tonnage during the year to be as follows:

Showing a deficiency in 1875 of 107,348 tons." The gross earnings for the fiscal year, as shown, are about the

-same as lor the previous year, but portions oi the Lake Shore

road have been worked auring construction ; and the earnings, as

well as the expenses, are included io the statement." We will not express too confidently the expectation of an

• immediate restoration of traffic, nor yet withhold the expression- of a belief, when our eastern and western connections are estab-

lished, and the business of the country restored to its normal^condition, that the average earnings per mile will come nearer to,

'if they do not exceed, the sum of .f 10,000 per mile. The road has

been well built ; the principal bridges and viaducts of iron ; tbe

buildings first class; engine bouses and shops of brick ; an exten-

sive water front and harbor property ; with more than sixty acres

of land at Oswego, besides other valuable real estate in that city

and elsewhere on the lin^.

" We have been, and are now, engaged In preparing suitable

«quipment, which, together with what can be spared from the

former road, will be 'juito sufficient for the present." The property now owned by this company originally belonged

to five difTerent corporations, to wit

:

Miles.Watertown & Kome—Rome to Watertown and Cape Viacent 97^Oswego & Rome—Oewego to Il'chland 29Potsdam & Watertown— Watertown to Potsdam Junction ft5)tf

Syracai^e & Northern—Syracuse to Sandy Creek 45Lake Ontario Shore—Oswego to Niagura IK)

Total 417

" In addition, there is about 50 miles of double and side tracks,spurs to mills, mines, &c.

" In the purchase of these properties, the sum paid in the aggre-gate is more than $5,000,000 less than the cost to the original

owners, which sum, in the reorganization and consolidation, is notat present represented by the issue either of sock or bonds.Whatever it shall prove to be worth in the future, it will belongto the stockholders of this company.

" Oa one point, and one of the first importance, we can speakwith full confideDce. The road, equipment and property have beenmore than fully niain'ained, so that the condition of the companyhas never before teen as good to do a large amount of business,and do it cheaply, as now. More than 2,000 tons of new iron, andabout 100,000 new ties, have been placed on the track. Morethan $40,000 has been expended in repairs of locomotives, and ina sufficient degree to the rest of the rolling stock."

The general manager's report says :

"Last year, owing to the failure of the crops in Southern Missouri

and Kansas, a large business was done between Iowa and KansasCity, in the first half of the year, in supplying that part of the

country with corn; there was also at the same time an unusually

large California travel. Owing to an almost entire failure of the

crops along our line of road, the earnings of the latte' half of the

year fell off greatly from those of the same period the year before,

and has caused a like falling off this spring. The prospect of

good crops this coming season warrants me in saying that the net

earnings of this year will fully equal those of 1875."

Boston Water Power Company.(For the year ending December 31, 1875.)

The annual meeting of the stockholders of tbe BostonWater Power Company was held recently. The Boston Pottreport says : Tbe Auditing Committee reported that they

find the payments correctly cast and properly vouched ; that

the balance of cash on hand in bank, and proper certifi-

cates of indebtedness, amounted to $44,588 25 ; that the

balances of accounts in stock ledger amounted to 64,875 shares

on April 20 at 2 P. M. Mr. W. B. Brown, the treasurer of the

corporation, submitted his annual report, in which he said the

year j ust closed had been in various ways an eventful one. Oneyear ago the company owed in unfunded debts, due on demand,$219,283 86, many of which had been protested and sued. To-

day the company had no unfunded debts, excepting an obligation

to pay certain mortgages held by various parties, amounting to

$35,006, which were secured on land of greater value than tbe

indebtedness, located on Huntington avenufc, and one of $9,000

secured by land on Northampton street worth double that sum.Some complications existing at the commencement of the year,

April 1st, 1875, have been finally settled ; and some claims the

corporation held against other parties have been adjusted, as it

is believed, on the whole, for the interest of the stockholders.

The only remaining matter of importance to be adjudicated is the

settlement to be made between the company and Nathan Matthews.

ptge of payment of all interest coupons on the bonds owned bySlatban MattUewfi, and have also forbidden the negotiation of

secure the equities existing uetween :his company and said

Matthews. We were also compelled, as a further measure of

protection for the corporation, to giTe timilar notice to apply to

the mortga(!;es wliich Mr. Matthews had agreed to pay on or

before Juoo 1, 1875, which lie has hitherto failed to do. Thesemeasures, though disagreeable to the directors, in view of in-

California Pacific.—Anthony Coalet, a stockholder of the

Central Pacific, has filed a bill in equity against the company andits officers and directors, asking for an injunction to prevent the

use of the funds of the Company in paying interest on $1,600,000

California Pacific bonds, and also tor a decree to the effect that

the indoreement of the Central Pacific on such bonds is withoutauthority and void. TLe principal object of the suit is said to be

to prevent the completion of the settlement made with holders of

California Pacific Extension bonds, and the issue of new bondsin accordance with that settlement.

It has been su^geeted by some that impediments in the nay of

carrying out the agreement with the C«lifornia Pacific bondholderswere probably acceptable to the Central Pacific. But we have it

stated on good authority that such is not the ease, and the CentralPacific is desirous of fulfilling its agreements with the California

Pacific to the utmost extent, and will take all needful measuresto protect their right to do so.

Tlie Central Railroad of Iowa.—Tlie annonncemect is madethftt at a meeting of the bondholders of the Central Railroad of

Iowa, held in the city of Philadelphia, on the 13th Inst , theFarnserB' Loan and Trust Company of this city was removediroa its position as trustee under the mortgages, auJ Mr. Paine,

of Boston, and Mr. Bullitt, of Philadelphia, were appointed suchtrustees in its stead.

This statement, aflfecting as it does one of our oldtst and mosthighly respected moneyed corporations, seemed to call for someexplanation, and we find the facts of the case to be substantially

as follows:

That the suit for the foieclosiire of the mortgages came before

the United States Circuit Court of Iowa in October last, and a de-

cree was then made, which. Judge Dillon states in an order in tho

suit, dated January 14, 1876, was "the result ot consultation andcompromise among the parties in interest, and entered as the re-

sult of such agreement, and not upon an independent considera-

tion by the Court of the rights and equities of the various par-

ties." The decree contained a provision directing the Trust Com-pany to bid at the sale of the road at least the amount nf the

principal and interest of the first mortgage bonds, and that, onanch purchase being made, the title should pass absolutely to the

trustee, in trust for the first, second and third mortgage bond-

holders, and for the creditors and stockliolders of the road ; andthat the property should be conveyed to a now corporation, in

which the controlling interest should be given to the first mort-

gage bondholders— the second mortgage bondholders to receive asecond class of stock for the full amount of their bonds, and the

third mortgage bondholders and creditors cummon stock at par

for the respective amounts due tbem ; and the stockholders of

the originnl company common stock at the rate of one dollar for

every three now held by them. Such an arrangement might be

equitable enough, if the first mortgage bondholders would agree

to it; but, although a majority testified their niUingness so .to

do, a minority not only declined to accept the proposed provision

made for them, but took an appeal to the Supreme Court of theUnited States, furnishing the requisite bond (which appeal is

sow pending), claiming that the Court could only authorize the

trnitee to buy in the road for their benefit, and could not gif*-the junior encumbraneei's any Interest in the bid.

TUe committee which claim* to represent a majority of thebonds endeavored to prevent this appeal from beinc l«ken onmotion before Judge Dillon, and subsequently before JudgeMiller, on th« ground, among others, that the Trnstee hadconsented to the decree, and failing in tljis they lately requeetedthe Trustee to allow their counsel to make a motion to dlnninthe appeal in the Supreme Court at Wathlngton in the nime ofthe Trustee. The Trustee could hardly have granted this reqoeatand maii:tained an impaitiil position, as by so doing it wouldhave thrown the weight of its position in favor of preventingthe minority from having the question passed upon by theAppellate Court. The Trust Company, therefore, declined to berepresented by the counsel of the bondholder*' committee, butreplied that it would, it desired, be present br it* own counselwhen the motion should be made. The committee then laeued acircular, recommending a change of trustee, and succeeded inobtaining, as they state, a sufficient number of proxlea to efiect

this result at the Philadelphia meetinsr. As a matter of law, it

would appear that a mortgage, after decree in a foreclosure suit,

is merged in the decree, and, if this is true, it Is diffiealt to under-stand how the present action can be taken. Bnt the Court* roastsettle this, and also the very difficult question a* to the right ofthose claiming to be londbolders to vote. Pot bonds may be aoldany day, and we presume evidence will have to bo offered toshow that the persons voting, by proxy or otherwise, were theowners of bonds on the day of the meeting.

If this plan was adopted with a view of shortening the legalcomplications of this unfortunate road, and hastening the time ofits reorganization, no such result is likely to follow. Throaghthe influence of the committee, a decree has been obtained on aprinciple which we understand that its members themaelvee haveformerly stated, in a letter to the Trust Company, can not beupheld : and, to prevent the Appellate Court from passing on thepoint in question, they pursue a course which can hardly fail togive rise to further complicated litigation.

Meanwhile, from. all this there is one lesson for those who maybe requested to act as Trustees under such mortgages. No positionof the kind should be accepted where the trustee is exposed to

the possibility, by a provision like that contained in the presentmortgage, of being dismissed from his trust either for sometechnical causes ^or [summarily withont cause, and merely by avote of a majority of bondholders, when the main purposeof having a Trustee is to secure a middleman, of entire impa^-tiality, who shall protect alike^the rights of all parties interested

in the mortgage.

Colnmbns Chicago & Indiana Central.—In the suit of thePittsburg Cincinnati & St. Lou^s Railway Co., against the C. C. &I. C, in the United States Circuit Court, District of Indiana, anorder has been obtained directing the P. C. & St. L. lessi>es of theC. C & I. C. to pay over to the receivers of tbe last-named road,

for the benefit of the bonds having a prior lien to the consolidated

mortgage of tbe C. C. & I. C , the sum admitted by the lessees to

be the amount of net earnings of the road during 1875, this pay-ment to be made on the 1st of next Jane ; also, after that, at thebeginning of each month, the amount of net earnings for themonth expiring ninety days previous to the date ot payment.The lessees named have had full possession of the C. C. & I. C.

since 1868, but since February, 1875, have paid over nothing tothe lessors. This order will protect the consolidated bonds so far

as it provides for the payment of the interest on the bonds whichprecede the consolidated mortgage. The net earnings are to bepaid withont prejudice to the claim for the minimum rental of 7per cent on $15,821,000 bonds, which is the amount guaranteedby the lease.

Gallipolis McArthnr & Columbus.—The right of way andpartly Braded roadbed of this road was offered at Sherifl's sale,

April 2i), but the sale was adjourned, no bid being made.It has been proposed to transfer the property to the Michigan

& Ohio Company, and an agreement to that effect has been made.The Sheriff's sale may, however, interfere with this arrangement.

CoimEllClAL EPITOME.Bbidat Nioht, May 19, 1876.

There i« fcarcely a cew featuro to trade reports. The volame

or busineas lia?, od the vhole, Bomewhat increased, and there Is

apparently more confidence felt in the stability of prices ; trans-

actions are not in so large a proportion taerely speculative.

The weather has become very Pne, and from no quarter of the

United Stateii ia any serious complaint heard regarding the

prospects of the crops. Political intelligence from Turkey andits provinces Is scanned with much eagerness, and the dan^^er of

active hostilities discussed with much activity, with reference to

the future values of our leading agricultural staples. The moreImportant failures of the week have been in cotton and wool.

The speculation in pork has been tame, and prices have beendeclioinp;, the closinif bida to day beins for mess f20 55 for May,$30 65 for June, $21 for July, $'}1 25 for August, and |21 30 for

September. Tlae 16cal trade has been dull. Lard was quite

buoyant early in the Week, but latterly has been declining sharply,

and for future deliver* tlie closing bids for prime steam were$12 50 for May, $12 55 for June, $12 67i for July, $12 T7i for

August, and $12 00 for September. Bacon and cut meats haveTul-jd a shade firmer, but quiet. Beef and beef hams are dull anddrooping. Tallow has been fairly active at 8i@8ic. for prime.

Butter has been about steady, with the demand fair. Cheese is

«asier at 8(uil0ic. for good to prime new State factories.

The foreign exports of the hog product, from principal ports,

November 1 to May 15, compare as follows

Rio coffee has not been active, but in the absence of arrivals

stocks have been reduced to 97,534 bags at this point. Thevisible supply for the United States has been increased,

however, to 248,190 bags. There has been a fair business

lor mild grades, with stocks at the close 35,702 bags

and 176,000 mats, the latter mostly Java. Kio, fair to

prime cargoes, quoted 17i@18ic.; Java, 20(a23c., and Mara-caibo, 16@19c., all gold. Bice has remained quiet. Foreign

dried fruits quiet, except rather more firmness in currants. Teas•re in better demand, with a steadier feeling. Molasses has beenquiet, but prices rule firm on the basis of 33ic. for 50 test. Sugarshave been less active, and prices are bcarculy so firm ; fair to

prime refining Cuba quoted at 7S@8ie.; refined, lOJe. for standard

crushed. The movement in raws has been :

vance and much firmness. Late engagements and charters in-

498 THE CHRONICLE [May 20, 1876.

The market the past week bas been drooping for cotton on tbe

vp«>t. A decline to 12 3 16c. for middling uplands, whicbtook place

oa Saturday, wag followed, in tbe course of Moudajr and TueRday,

by » liberal buBiness for export, but ibis demand subsided on

Wednesday; and the stoppage of additional mills of New Eng-

land has resulted in a reduced demand for home consumption-

Testerday, holders partially withdrew samples for higher

prices, but the only effect was to check business. To-day,

quotations were reduced l-16c. to IS^c. for middllnsf up-

lands, leading to rather more business. For future delivery,

speculative manipulation has been active, and the feverish condi-

tion of the market proved quite effective. Crop accounts were

varied, but on the whole moderately favorable. Too much rain

was reported in some sections, and the temperature has con-

tinued low ; while there seemed to be an impression prevailing

that some decrease in the acreage will become apparent when the

leports are published. Saturday was panicky, and yesterday

was extremely buoyant, with intermediate fluctuations very fre-

quent. Today, the failure of a house largely involved in ihe

ahipment of cotton, Messrs Facliiri Brothers, quite broke downthe market for futures, and prices declined 316e.; good weather

for the crop, and a weakening of the gold premium, contributing

Blightly to the depression.

The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 192,100

bales. Including free on board. For immediate delivery the

total sales foot up this week 8,351 bales, including 4,817 for ex-

port, 2,271 for consumption, 1,163 for speculation, and in

transit. Of the above, — bales were to arrive. The following

From the foret;o!ng it would appear that, compared with last

year, there is a decrease of 20,000 bales this year in the week'sshipments from Bombay to Europe, and that the total movementsince January 1 shows a decrease in shipments of 333,000 balescompared wita the corresponding; period of 1875.

Weather Reports bt Tklkoraph.—The past week has

been generally favorable for the development of the cotton plant

and the continuance of farm work. In Texas, however, they

need rain, and in portions of it they need it badly. Other than

this we hear of no complaints, except in tUe section covered by

the overflow of the Mississippi, and that has remained without

tuaterial change during the week. We see our telegram from

Dallas, Texas, states that increased immigration has added

materially to the cotton acreage in that district,

Oalvetton. Texas.—It has been warm and dry here all the week.

Bain is badly needed. Average thermometer during the week

76, highest 87, and lowest 09.

Indianola. Texas.—We have had no rain this week, and vege-

tation is suffering greatly. The fields are clear of weeds. Aver-

age thermometer 76, highest 85, and lowest 66.

Uorsieana, Texas.—The weather has been warm and dry all the

week. We are needing rain, as it is getting too dry to work to

advantage. Average thermometer 79, highest 93, lowest 07.

Dallas, Texas.^-yV e have had no rain this week; a good rain is

wanted. The thermometer has ranged from 5i to 86, averaging

79. Increased immigration has added materially to cotton acre-

age. The wheat crop, though disappointing in some seciions,

will be heavy in the aggregate.

Ifete Orleans, Louisiana.—The weather here has been warmand dry all this week, the thermometer averaging 76.

Shreveport, Louisiana.—We have had no rain this week, but

aome planters complain of the cool nights. The thermometer

has averaged 75, the extremes being 59 and 86.

Vieksburg, Mississippi.—The weather this week has been warmand dry. The average thermometer is 75, the highest 88 and

the lowest 60. Planting is still unfinished.

Columbus, Mississippi.—There has been no rain here, the

weather being warm and dry all the week. Average thermome-

ter 72, highest 80 and lowest 64. The growing crop is about

two weeks late.j

Little Bock, Arkansas.—We have had no rainfall this week. |

" Planters are getting on tolerably well." Average thermometer

74, highest 88 and lowest 55.

Jfashtille, Tennessee.—The weather has been showery on three

days of the week, the rainfall reaching eighty-nine hundredths

. of an inch. The thermometer has ranged from 60 to 82, aver-

aging 71.

Memphis, Tennessee.—Telegram not received.

Mobile, Alabama.—The weather has been warm and dry all the

week, without rain. The thermometer has ranged from 63 to

89, averaging 77. The cotton plant looks strong and healthy,

and is developing promisingly.

Montgomery, Alabama.—There has been one rainy day here

this week, the rainfall reaching twenty-one hundredths of an

inch. The rest of the week has been pleasant and warm. Aver-

age thermometer 76, highest 88 and lowest 63- VVe have secured

a good stand of cotton. The plant looks strong and healthy.

JSelma, Alabama.—Excepting one day, on which there was a

rainfall of twenty.nine hundredths of an inch, the past week has

been warm and dry. The thermometer has averaged 75.

Madison. Florida.—^o rain has fallen all this week. Thethermometer has ranged from 69 to 83, averaging 76.

Macon, Georgia.—There has been one rainy day here this week.Average thermometer 72, highest 89 and lowest 55. Planting is

about comp'eted in this neighborhood, and there has been morecorn and less cotton put in the ground this year than list.

Atlanta, Oeorgia.—There was a shower here one day this

week, the remaining days being pleasant. We have secured a

good stand of cotton. Crop accounts are more favorable. Therainfall for the week is seventy-five hundredths of an inch. Theaverage thermometer was 76, the highest 83 and the lowest 64.

Columbus, Oeorgia.—It rained here severely one day of the

been pleaoant. The average thermometer la 74, the highestMand the lowest 54.

Augusta, Oeorgia.—There has been no rain here, the weatharbeing warm and dry all the week. The thermometer haa aver-

Charleston, South Carolina.—There haa been one rainy day thiaweek, the rainfall reaching three hamlredtha of an inch. Tbathermometer has averaged 71, the highest being 84 and the low-est 63.

Tbe following statement we have also received by telcfcrapkshowing tlie helirht of the rivers at the points named at 8 o'clockMay 18. We give last year's figures (May 21, 187S) for oom-parison.

Cotton Acreage Report.—The Memphis Avalaneht haa

prepared, and in its issue of Tuesday, May 16, gives a report of

the cotton acreage tbis year. We, of coarse, by publiahinx it.do

not endorse it and are in no condition, as yet, to express an opinion

on the many points it covers. Our usual information on that

subject we never obtain until after the first oi June, and hence

we have very few facts fram our correspondents, except what

have been given from time to time in our weather reports. Wemust say, however, that with regard to the Atlantic States, all

the information we have would indicate a greater decrease in tbeplanting than the ^Avalanche (jives. Ai to the Western andSouthwestern States, we are not prepared to express any opinionof our own. The prevailing belief, however, calls for an increase

somewhat in excess of the estimate below. With these explana-tions, we insert the material portions of the Avalanche report

:

In Boveral cases, owlne to the recent overflow of the Mississippi River, wehave been oblli,'ed to accept estimates of acreage likely to bo put under ealtl-

virtinn In severiil cuuhlics duriii<: this eejson, which, If done, vra will reportduring the next month. • • • Comparing the present piantlne seaaonwith any previous one, there Is probably none we could draw as closely aathe season of 18r4. That season opened with a partial dry April, wet Mar;and u sprinc: overflow. It was not unusual to hear, durinz thatseason, of planting as late as the 15Ib of June in tbe MlssraaippLValley, and in many cases, where such late planting took place, a full cr»p, iMtin most cases but naif a crop, was the result. The dry summer which followedwas felt everywhere, and proved a disastrous one In Texas. Arkansas, Ten-nessee, and part of Mississippi, and had it not been for the proportionately goodout-turn in the Atlantic States, the probability would have l)een that a crop.

not exceeding .3,500,100 would have b en marketed. We are almost Inclinedto think that the state of ihe weather and temperature of this season up todate warrant nur taking the planting season of 1874 as a comparison, andadopting this view, we must say that ti.e outlook today is not even aa ea-couraKiug as that of 1874, for the rea-!on that Texas and the Atlantic Statesare from two to Ave weeks backward in planting. This unfavorable Itemmight only be counterbalanced by the additional acreage this year comparedwith two years ago. There it probably no section or sections of the cotton b«lt

more advanced than th- se on "he upper Arkansas and in Tennessee, and tt re-

mains to be seen how they will continue for the balance of the season. Al-lowing every acre Kit land to be planted, as it appears in our report, it will beseen at a glance thit there is a visible increase of acreage of a fraction above

X per cent, compared with last year; but deducting the estinnto as supplied

by our correspondents yet to be plautt'd, it w»u d show a result of iii peccent less than last year. Should the late planting occur, such as took place

last year and the year previous, there can ke Vh little doubt lh« the total

acreage anticipated "yet to be planted," as shown In our report, will beplanted, while, should the high water of the Mississippi continue for anyfengih of time, most of that acreage will have to be abandoned for cotton-

iiiantine purposes. We would finally remark to our readers that acreage

reports from other sources may, in all probability, show a much larger increase

in acreage than ours, and to this we would say that those reports of lasc

season showed a deflciency of 200,100 acres less than actually planted, wtaich

nay have occurred from late planting not taken Into account, or a prcceaa of

estimating, which we look upon as anything but a snreguide. ,, . ..

BRE ADSTUPFS.Fridat, p. M., May 19, 1876

There has been an upward tendency to prices of flour the past

week, and at times an active business, though the market has

uot fully shared in the advance which has taken place in wheat.

The medium Western extras from winter wheat have become

!«• plenty, and bare not competed so actively with low esttMfrom spring wheat. L-jcai miilerahave been fully employed uponorders, and regular shipping extras have met with* free sale at

15 10@|.5 25. Low grades have also done better. The highergrades of bakers' and family brands have been more aaUble.The production of flour is progreaaing generally oa a prettyliberal scale. To-day, a line of 2,000 bblt. extra Bute told at

$5 20, and choice superfine brongbt $4 60, but otherwiea themarket was quiet.

The wheat market has been buoyant, and early In the weekwas quite active, but tinco the higher quotations were eitabliahed

busfness has been less active. Thtre have been large lines sold

of No. 2 Milwaukee at $1 24@|l 2S, of No. 1 spring at 91 82<<^

ft 33. Shippers have been favored by advancing gold and «liberal supply of freight-room. The demand early in the weekwas -malniy from the Continent and for local milling, but latterly

more business has been done for Great Britain. Ueceipla at theWestern markets continue to show a falling off from last year,

and the risible supply is rapidly reduced. Crop accounts aregenerally favorable. To day, the market was firm, and moder-ately active, but closed quiet.

Indian corn has been in large supply, but so active was the

demand that prices of merchantable qaalities have advanced 1@2c. per bushel, a large buainess being done yesterday at 59i(a62{c.

for new Western mixed, as in quality. In Southern white there

has been an exceptional decline, two small cargoes selling at (V5c.

Receipts at the West are considerably in excess of last year, andfor future delivery, prices are no higher; prime mixed sold yec-

terday at 61c. for June. To-day, there was a slight farther im-

provement, with sales of steamer mixed at 611@81fc., but the

market was generally quiet.

Rye has been active and higher, mainly at 92(394c. for Canadain bond, mostly for arrival, but the close is quiet. Somesales of barley have been made, and barley malt has brought

rather more money. Canada peas, after further aalea at 95c,,

advanced to 98c. In bond. Oats declined rapidly, until yesterday,

at 3Sc. for No. 2, and 41c. (or No. 1 grade 1 mixed, an active

demand sprung up, and a steadier tone waa developed, with No.

2 graded mixed at 38}@33c.

TE[E DRY GOODS TRADE.Fbisat. p. H.. May 19, 1876.

The package trade has be«n quiet the past week in nearly all

braachef. Eaily in the week, Messrs. Wright, Bliss & Fabyan,

Tepresenting several of the most prominent Hew England mana-factnring corporations, announced their determination to sell at

auction, on the 23d inst., 6,000 packages domestic?, and this had

m depressing influence upon the mark't, and restricted opera-

tions, although it is thought such a sale will bs of ultimate bene-

fit to the trade, as bottom prices will be thus reached, which will

probably be followed by a steadier market than has been wit-

nessed since the autumn of 1873. The stock of the JohnsonManufacturing Company, consisting of 331 cases, book fold ging-

hams, was peremptorily sold at auction and brought good prices.

There has been a slight improvement in the demand for heavywoolens for the early fall trade, but operations in light-weight

fabrics have been quite moderate. Further failures amongwoolen manufacturers are reported, including the BerkshireWoolen Company of Great Barrington, Mass., and Messenger &Wright, of Worcester, Mass. The latter failure has also causedthe suspension of Messenger, Fislier & Co., dry goods jobbers in

this city, with liabilities of $200,000. The small profits attending

the production of print cloths (at present selling at 3fc, cash;, anda lull in the export demand, have caused manufacturers at Fall

Eiver to take into consideration the expediency of working half,

titte from June 1, which measure will probably be adopted. Inforeign goods business has been v6ry light, and prices of mostfabrics are low and unsatisfactory.

Domestic Cottox Goods.—The export trade in cottcn goodslas been leas active, only 830 packages having been shippedirom this port last week, of which about one half went to Liver-

pool, 160 packages to the British East Indies, and thi rt^mainder

in small lota, to other countries. The home trade was very light,

And restricted to such small lota as were absolutely necessary for

keeping up assortments. Prices were nominally unchanged imfirs' hands, but there was virtually no market, both buyers and'

sellers anxiously awaiting the result of the great trade sal^

alluded to above, which will be the largest peremptory ofiFering'

of domestics ever made in the United States, and comprising the-

productions of the following mills, which run over half a million-

spindles : Pepperell Manufacturing Company, Lteonia Company,Androscoggin Mills, Continental Mills, Bates ManufacturingCompany, Oiis Company, Boston Duck Company, Warren Cotton

Mills, Columbian Manufacturing Company, and other corpora*

tions. Fancy prints continued in limited request, but shirting-

styles were distributed to a fair aggregate amount, and Lancas-

ter cambrics having been reduced to eight, net, met with liberal

sales. Ginghams were in steady request for moderate lots, despite-

the auction sale of these fabrics, referred to above.

Domestic Woolen Goods.—There was an increased demand!by the early clothing trade for moderate parcels of heavy cassi*

meres, and the same class of buyers commenced operating inj

heavy worsteds, but transactions were cautiously conducted, and

buyers evinced much less liberality in their purchases than iai

former seasons at this period. Light-weight cassimeres received^

little attention aside from a few specially attractive styles whicll

were placed with cloth jobbers to a moderate amount. Over-,

coatings were in less than the usual demand at this time of yearJ

because, perhaps, of heavy stocks carried over by clothiers,!

owing to the mildaess of the past winter. Satinets and jeanal

were in limited request, and there was merely a hand-to-moathl

demand for flannels. Carpets were comparatively quiet, Lntsteady. Worsted dress goods moved slowly, and shawls wervery quiet.

Foreign Dry Goods.—Much of the interest pertaining tol

imported goods was centred in the auction rooms, where severall

large and successful sales were made, including a line of 3,0

pieces dress silks of the importation of Messrs. E. Warburg &|Cc., and a large assortment of real laces and lace goods, which

were sold by order of Mr. Richard Salembier to good advantage.

Id first hands, dress goods were quiet and those of a fane/ char-|

acter are selling low. Black silks were in steady request, andlthere was a fair movement in millinery silks and ribbons. House-

keeping linens and handkerchiefs met with moderate sales, andj

there was a fair inquiry for staple and fancy white goods aniHamburg embroideries. Mens'-wear woolens were dull witlk]

importers, but a little more active in jobbers' hands.
