FUNDING TEN-FORTIES, A LOSS OB GAINTO HOLDERS.

The call yesterday by the Secretary of the Treasury

of another 20 millions of bonds makes the amountcalled Id, since the Ist of January, 190 millions, and

leaves only about 120^ millions of the 18678 still

uncalled. As there are outstanding, according to the

Secretary's statement of January 1st, only $37,4'!5,300 of

the IseSfj, the total 15S millions represents the full amount

to be paid before the 1 40s are reached. To-day the quota-

tion for 10-40sis 105|@105;i, which includes nearly 2^ per

cent of interest; hence the actual selling price is about

102|. In view of these facts two questions are being

constantly asked—(1) Is funding to continue at the

present rate, and (2) if so, is it not well fo sell uncalled

bonds at the present quotations ?

There would certainly seem to be a strong presumption,

after the experience of the past six weeks, of the further

rapid absorption of the four per cents. (1.) First, the

very diversity of the home demand makes its continu-

ance probable. (2.) Then, again, the rapid calls that

have been made, lead a constantly-increasing number of

those holding fundable bonds to re-invest in anticipation

of a call. (3.) The low rates of interest still ruling

here, and the very high prices of all good securities,

together with the new confidence felt in Governmentbonds—which resumption first induced and which the

rapid funding is daily increasing—also tend to the same

conclusion. (4.) There is, besides, a growing feeling

—

which tends to increase this confidence—that with

the prolonged distrust and continued depression which

is probable iu Europe, idle capital will accumulate there

rapidly, and very low rates of interest will prevail, so that

after the funding is completed an active demand will set

in for these 4 per cents, giving the present holders an

opportunity to part with them to European buyers at a

fair premium when the money is needed for our revived

industries. This suggestion is certainly very reason-

able. England, not to speak of portions of the

Continent, must pass through an experience somewhatsimilar to our own. Enterprise, through the existing

distrust and lack of profit, being for the time checked,

capital will find in trade no safe outlet. It must becomeabundant, therefore, and, made timid by losses incurred,

will accept only the best securities at high rates.

Furthermore, the evidence would seem to indicate

that there is even now more activity in the dis-

posal of the 4 per cents by the European Syndicate

than the members of it on this side admit. In the first

place, the turn in the tendency of sterling exchange

must have some decided cause. We all know how the

quotation was fluctuating about the specie shipping

point for a long time, and we know, also, its compara-

tive depression ever since the signing of the contract;

and this has taken place in face of the return of very

considerable blocks of railroad stocks and bonds which

the speculative rise in Wall street has forced this wayin addition to the called governments. It appears from

the pre-sent selling prices of almost all American securi-

ties in London that there is a fair profit in their shipment

to this side. This condition, in the case of governments,

seems to be acting in favor of funding operations in

Europe. For instance, the 68 of 1867 have averaged in

London about 104 this week, equivalent, at the ruling

rates for sterling, to 101^ here. Aa there is now more

132 THE CHRONICLE Vol. XXVIII.

than I per cent accrued interest on, the actual price would

be about 101. Consequently, 'ho Syndicate can take in

these bonds, put them in the place of the 4 per cents and

make, besides their full commissioni?, about ^ per cent

interest. For these and other reasons we might men-

tion, we judge that the transfers taking place in London

are perhaps larger than is generally supposed.

But notwithstanding the foregoing considerations lead

evidently to the presumption that funding will continue

to progress rapidly, there is not likely to be so considera-

ble a loss, as appears on the face, to the holders of 10-40s

in continuing to keep their bonds till called. As we have

stated above, the price the past week has been about 105^,

which includes the coupon due March 1st, leaving present

price say ]02f. These bonds cannot, however, be called

before the next coupon would be included, and that would

bring the loss down by reason of the difference in inter-

est^ per cent if called within the next 6 months, and 1 per

cent if not called until the year is up. Undoubtedly the

banker who is selling the 4 per cents will then, as now, be

willing to lose the interest which he makes on the ex-

change, and perhaps part of the commission, for the sake

of securing the balance. If so, 1@1^ per cent above par

could be obtained for them, even after they had been

called. Still, when we have allowed for all these

items, there seems yet to be a loss of nearly one per

cent to the holders of the 10-40 bonds, if called within

six months, and of nearly ^ per cent if called within the

year. Of course, if this process of funding is to stop

fludden'y, as some claim, there will be a profit in keeping

them. But what is the presumption on that point, and

what UHderthe circumstances would be the more prudent

course for the present holders ?

THE CHINESE IMMIGRA TION BILL.

Politics and statesmanship are becoming sadly mixed

in these latter days. We referred last week to the

passage of the Pension bill—a measure without one

good feature to recommend it, but adopted and rushed

through the House by both parties under fear of the

influence opposition would exert on elections. For a

somewhat similar reason the absurd Anti-Chinese bill

obtained a two-thirds vote in the same body and is nowhanging in the Senate, where, according to present

appearances, the " necessities of parties," in view of the

California election, may also compel favorable action.

That bill makes it " a misdemeanor, punishable with fine

" and imprisonment, for a master of any vessel to take" on board at any Chinese or other foreign port more" than fifteen Chinese passengers, whether male or" female, with the intent to bring them to the United" States."

There are so many and grave exceptions to be taken

to this measure that one is at a loss to understand how,even under the spur of party, such a proposal could for

a moment be entertained. Not the least important

objection is that it is opposed to existing treaties. TheBurlingame Treaty provides that " Chinese subjects

" visiting or residing in the United States shall enjoy the" same privileges, immunities and exemptions in regard

*'to travel or residence as may there be enjoyed by the" citizens or subjects of the most favored nations." Thefifth article of that treaty reads as follows:

" The United States and tlie Emperor of China cordially recog-nize the Inherent and inalienable right of man to change hishome and allegiance, and also the mutual advantage of the freemigration and emigration of their citizens and subjects respec-tively, from one country to the other, for purposes of curiosity,of trade, or as permanent residents."

Read alongside of this article the bill seems grossly

inconsistent, for is it not a mere quibble to say that it

does not abridge the privileges or immunities of

Chinese, traveling or residing here, but only regulates

navigation. There is a legitimate way of getting rid of

treaty obligations, and it is the undoubted right of

either of the parties to follow that course when it is

deemed desirable, but the plan here adopted will hardly

be pronounced by any one as legitimate.

Another objection to the bill is that its provisions

render it impracticable. Upon trial, it would be found

at once to be inoperative. The prohibition and the

penalty are attached, not to the act of disembarking

Chinese passengers on our shores, but to the act of

taking them on board at a foreign port. Manifestly, the

misdemeanor can only be committed on the deck of a

ship as she lies in a Chinese harbor; and to bring the

offender within the range of the operation of this law,

it must be committed on the deck of an American ship.

If the bill were law to-morrow, it could not prevent the

captain of a British or other vessel not American from

taking on board as many passengers as he thought fit;

nor could it prevent him from landing them on the

wharves at San Francisco. This, however, is not all.

All our Chinese immigration comes from Hong Kong,

a British province; and would not any attempt on our

part to interfere with the embarkation of any class of

people from a British port, bring us into immediate

collision with Great Britain ?

But it is unnecessary to mention many other objec-

tions which will suggest themselves to our readers, for

above them all is the fact that this measure is absolutely

opposed to the purpose and aim of all our treaty arrange-

ments with the Chinese. We are seeking greater

freedom in our intercourse with that nation, hoping

in the end to possess the larger share of the

Eastern trade. At the time of securing the Bur-

lingame treaty we congratulated ourselves upon its

execution, because it seemed to place within our

reach that cherished object. This bill, however, is not

only a direct insult to the nation, but in its operation

must act as a check upon all freedom of intercourse, and

in the end provoke retaliatory measures; and we shall be

without just cause of complaint, if, in revenge for our

attempts to close our ports against their emigrants, they

should close their ports against our commerce. We are

thus, by attempting to make the provisions of this bill

part of the laws of the land, doing ourselves a grievous

wrong.

If John Chinaman is in any way offensive when he

reaches these shores and takes up his abode among us,

we can compel him to behave himself, and conduct him-

self in harmony with our laws. He does not bring his

laws with him, if he brings his habits; and the necessity

under which he is laid to conform to our laws will ulti-

mately transform his habits. It is no radical objection

to the Chinaman that he underworks the native Ameri-

can, the Irishman and the German. That the Chinese

are coming here in such numbers and that they remain

when they come, are proofs sufficient that they find it

worth their while to come and stay; and the simple fact

that the Chinese immigrants find that it pays them to be

here is proof that their labors are needed, and that they

are to that extent, like all other immigrants, a source of

wealth to the country. If it did not pay them they

would not come. If they were not needed it would not

pay them. Our safest course, therefore, is to remain

true to our own well-tried, well-established principles,

trusting to time and common sense to put down this cry

against the Chinese, as in former years they put down

the not less unreasoning cries against the Irish and the

FIRE INSURANCE CONDITION AND RATES.

From the annual insurance return«, as telegraphed to

the press from Albany, we have compiled the following

«nmmai7 of the condition of the fire companies of this

city and Brooklyn, as reported at the end of 1878 and

1877:

The surplus here given is net, above capital. Of the

eompanies of this city, 37 increased assets and 29 de-

creased ; 34 increased surplus and 21 lost; 36 made an

increase in both assets and surplus, and 20 experienced

a loss in both. In the Brooklyn companies there appears

but alight change in any of the items. As to the NewYork companies, there has been a decline of income,

more than offset by a decline in expenditures ; there is

an increase of $1,318,126 in assets and $1,088,658 in sur-

plus. This can hardly be deemed a very satisfactory

growth in either, and it appears less so when we consider

that it is not evenly distributed, but that 29 out of 66

companies closed the year with less assets, and 21 com-

panies closed it with less surplus, than they had when it

began. Taking the two cities together, we find that the

income was $17,344,858, of which $14,450,340 was from

fire premiums, leaving not quite 3 millions for inland

and marine premiums and income from investments ; of

the $16,366,876 expenditures, $6,578,806 went for fire

losses and about 2| millions for dividends, leaving about

7 millions for working expenses, &c. It therefore appears

that, roughly stated, of every $173 income $163 are

expended ; that of the latter $65 go for fire losses, $27 for

dividends, and $70 for working expenses.

Underwriting business, which, contentedly or other-

wise, receives $100,000 in a year and uses it up, cannot

be called really satisfactory, at least until surplus be-

comes ample. It is true that the ratio of surplus to

capital is about 68 per cent in the New York companies

combined, and about 100 in the Brooklyn ones, but this

is very unevenly distributed. Fourteen companies have

less than 20 per cent, and seven have less than 10; sev-

eral have nearly consumed their surplus during the year,

and one shows an impairment of capital. We thus see

that surplus is not yet, in most cases, what it should be

in order to make strong companies, and the result of the

past year's business has not been profitable. Evidently

there is something to be remedied.

Strength in underwriting is founded upon three

things, which are closelyl interconnected:—adequate

rates; the existence of ample surplus; the proper dis-

tribution of risks. Evidently there is too little savedfrom receipts. Are dividends too high ? In some in-

stances they may be. In the Brooklyn companies they

were at the rate of 16 per cent in 1878; in the NewYork at 11'44. Stockholders must be pardoned for

remembering that the dividends they draw out they are

sure of, but those they have in surplus are at risk; the

extra hazard is entitled to a liberal rate while it has theprivilege of getting it, and the belter the stock has

been paying the more likely the holders will be to makeup an impairment when the heavy fire come?.

However unpleasant it may be to contemplate paying

more, the rates have been inadequate. The character

of city buildings has radically changed during the past

twenty years Instead of small and low bnildingB

we now have mammoth structures six to eight storiefl

high, of such depth that to reach the interior is impos-

sible; the elevator is an effectual chimney for convey-

ing fire up or down; the iron front is a sham; the

imitation cornice is a fire-conveyer. The contents have

also changed. The modern palace of trade is a series

of open floors filled with inflammable goods, like a stove

packed with fuel; with all the advantages of an unsur-

passed fire brigade, it is understood that when fire once

gets headway in a building of this sort the best which

can be done is to confine it to the four walls. The con-

centration of values has also multiplied, so that the

destruction of one or two of these buildings carries the

loss into the millions.

Now, in the first place, the public need to learn that

an adequate rate means security—value received for the

money; and that an inadequate one is waste, and worse,

because it is a false security. Every fire puts at lisk not

only the property involved and the company interested,

but the unexpired policies held in that company by all

other parties. Whoever drives a sharp bargain for

insurance is really destroying the thing he is buying;

although he excuses it by the chance that the brunt of

loss may fall on somebody else, his guess might as well

be turned into the form of going without insurance

altogether. The company, on its part, risks its ownexistence by taking what it can get, under a senseless

and reckless competition, instead of refusing less than it

can afford. The position is really that one party pays

less, and the other accepts less, than he can afford tO)

each acting upon the chance that the natural conse-

quence may not come " this year."

The buyer must look out, of course, but he is not

likely to put himself in the seller's place and consider

what price he can afford to take. The change mustcome from the other side ; the companies must decide

what are adequate rates and then refuse to abate themone jot. Until this is done, the evils, not only of com-petition run wild, but of bad building, will surely |per

petuate themselves. It is possible to construct buildings

whose walls and floors are impenetrable by fire, but the

extra cost would appear in rents; and so long as some-

body else can be found to take the risks, owners and ten

ants will prefer the imitation sort, with showy fronte.

Another fault to be remedied is the concentration of

risks; to this the purely local company is especially lia-

ble, but there is reason to believe that long immunity fromvery sweeping fires has lulled many companies into someremissness about the necessity of scattering risks.

The fires since the year opened have not only madeunusual inroads upon existing surplus, but have fur-

nished occasion for a rise in rates and a renewal of

attempts, by organization, to regulate and maintain them.

But the error of an undue increase should be carefully

avoided; for its effect, as has heretofore been the case^

would be to attract a crowd of agencies from without

the State, and then to gradually depress rates again be-

low the paying point. Hitherto there has been a vibra-

ting between the two extremes, each one producing ia

time its natural but excessive reaction to the other.

Organization has failed, perhaps, because it was, or wa»imagined to be, dictatorial rather than advisory, outside

companies readily assuming that the city ones wouldlike to maintain a profitable monopoly. The work to

be done is, first, to ascertain the reasonable rates, equi-

distant from each extreme, and then to adhere to them.

even at the alternative of losing business. Asking re-

mnnerative rates and then accepting as much less as

eome competitor is asserted to be ready to take, is a sort

of Cheap-John auction business, which makes insurance

chance and separates it from the laws of average.

RAILROAD EARNINGS IN JANUARY.

A large majority of the railroads reporting for January show a

decrease in tbeir earninge. 0/ the roads which show an increase

in husineas several are operating a considerably-increased

mileage. The weather in January this year was much more

Bevere than in 1878. and probably this affected the railroad busi-

ness to an important extent. But in comparisons made with

1878 it is to be remembered that the railroads will do well if

they earn only as much as they did in that year, without show-

ing any increase. From the London papers of January 35 we

have the following comparative statement of earnings and work-

ing expenses of the N. Y. Lake Erie & Western Railroad for

the month of October, 1877 and 1878 (the first month of the

current fiscal year) :

FINANCIAL REVIEtV OF JANUARY.The month of January, 1879, marked a turning point in the

financial history of the country. In January, 1862, specie pay-men's were suspended, and gold was first quoted at a premium.In September, 1873, the operations of the paper money inflation

period culminated, and the financial balloons collapsed. InJanuary, 1879, specie paym-mts were resumed by the government,and business interests commenced to revive.

The important event of the month on which the movements of

the financial markets greatly hinged was the unparalleled sales

of United States 4 per cent bonds by the Treasury Department.Duiing the month of January the Secretary called in $150,000,0j0of the five-twenty bonds of 1SG7, the seventy-sixth call, ddtedJanuary 1, being the first call on this issue of 1857s, andto provide for these bonds four per cents were negotiated. Anagreement was made with a Syndicate of foreign bankers for

placing abroad |30,000,000 of the 4 per cent bonds, the terms ofagreement being reported in the CnRONlCLK of February 1,

page 114.

The rapidity in funding and the consequent unsettling of all

holders of government securities liable to be called in, together

with the general tone of buoyancy which accompanied the returnof specie payments, gave rise to a movement of extraordinaiy

activity in all classes of railroad securities, and the business in

bonds and stocks was of immense volume, with prices extremelybuoyant.

BANK MOVEMENTS AND THE MONET MARKET.

The changes in the New York city banks in the first monthafter reauiuption were not specially important. There was a

CO siderable increase in legal-tender notes, from $41,832,600 on

January 4 to $53,593,600 on January 25, and deposits also

increased about $8,800,000.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES.

The remarks above indicate the extent of the demand for

investment securities. The several issues of government bonds

not liable to be called in, and every sort of railroad bond, shared

in the activity, and prices advanced in some c.^aes in a manner

that is more common with speculative stocks than with invest-

ment bonds.

RAILROAD AND MISCELLANEOUS STOCKS.

Speculative stocks dlJ not at first show so great buoyancy as

bond-, but subsequently there was a heavy movement in stocks

and prices jumped up with remarkable facility under ihe large

purchases by outside speculators. It was commonly remarked

that there had not been since 1873 so large an interest in the stock

market from outside purchasers.

The following table will show the opening, highest, lo i" est

and closing prices of railway and miscellaneous stocks at the

New York Stock Exchange during the months of December and

five-twenties, as it was anticipated that the bonds would comeback from Europe so rapidly as to call for gold shipments. Butafter the Treasury agreement with the Syndicate for placingbonds abroad, exchange weakened and the fear of specie ship-ments was dispelled. '

UNITED STATES TREASURY STATEMENT.The following statement from the office of the Treasurer for

February I was issued this week. It is based upon the

LFrom onr own correBpondent.1

LONDON, Saturday, January 35, 1879.

This week's Bank return is certainly disappointing. Although

the ease of the money market is so great, and although the

Bank is experiencing very little demand for accommodation,

owing to the fact that its terms are now considerably above those

of the open market, there is an increase of as much as £1,220,686

in the total of " other securities." It is inferred, therefore, that

some demand for loans has arisen in order to strengthen the

position of some of the provincial banks. The return evidently

indicates a great want of confidence ; but when it is borne in

mind that the banks now hold much larger reserves than they

had previously regarded as necessary, the present proportion of

reserve to liabilities at the Bank of England at 3110 per cent

cannot be regarded as altogether unsatisfactory. It is very evi-

dent that there is a good deal of deep. seated distrust, and it is

daily becoming more evident that the process of recovery will be

slow. The directors of several of the banks at the meetings

recently held were very desirous of explaining that they were

granting liberal facilities to traders, and that such a course was

necessary in order to prevent a panic. Even if we admit that

such a remark was true last year, it cannot be said that it is so

DOW. Safety first and profit afterwards is more their motto, and

the policy is, no doubt, correct. At the present time, holders of

choice bills can get them discounted at 2^ and 21 per cent. The

i banks and discount houses are only too willing to acquire such

ftSBBUAKTS, 187U.J THE CHRONICLE. 137

paper; but dlitrust has reHtricted tbo supply, atul hence, while

bills the quality o{ which Is indisputable are readily taken,

some ditHoulty is experienced with regard to less well-known

names. There seems to be no reason to doubt the opioion that the

value of mocey will continue to decline. The trade demand is

yrry limited, and there can be no improvement In it for some

time to come. Not only is trade very restricted, but, at the

same time, prices are low. and hence comparatively little capital

U necessary for the country to con'luct its business. The prob-

ability seems to be that before long the Bank rate will once more

decline to 3 per cent.

The government have this week repaid the Bank £1,830,000,

being a portion of the amount borrowed to pay the dividends.

A large amount of taxation was due on the let of January, and

large amounts are now being daily paid into the Treasury. The

Treasury balance, however, was, owing to the above payment,

dimioisbed by £487,411, and the total does not exceed £8,973,478,

against £3,705,653 last year. The government has now a large

floating debt to deal with, which, when Parliament meets, will

certainly encounter much hostile criticism. The amount, beinji

tbout £25,000,000, will afiord the Liberal parly something tangi-

ble about which to find fault. The Chancellor of the Exchequer

will not deliver his Budget speech until Easter, and during the

period which has to elapse before the Eister recess the Treasury

•will have received large sums from the public, and will have

probably rednced the amount of floating debt considerably.

Now that political aflairs look more hopeful, some important

redactions of expenditure can be made. If the Conservative

party wish to remain in power, they will have to look to the

financial situation, and will have to propose, if possible, efficient

measures to equalize revenue and expenditure, without resort-

ing to increased taxation. Increased burdens on the people in

times like the present produce discontent, and the government

will avoid them. If it be practicable. The British public do not

object to a judicious expenditure of money when proof of its

necessity can be shown ; but when no further necessity exists

for it, retrenchment is veiy quickly agitated.

The demand for money dating the week has, as already

indicated, been exceedingly limited, and the rates of discount are

Tery easy, as follows

and has disposed of a considerable quantity in this market duringthe week. Silver has been in better demand, and a large business

has been done at OOJd. to SSid. per ounce. The price is nowBOfd. per ounce. 1 he steamer for the East has taken out £590.-

On the Stock Exchange, during the week, business has beengreatly wanting in animation. The more prominent feature haa

been a demand for American stocks, and especially for Erie

shares and bonds, the value of which has advanced considerably.

American government securities were, at one period, rather

lower, sales of 5-20s snd funded fives having been effected with

a view to making investments in the fours. British railway

shares cantinu°|to decline in price, which is partly due to the fact

that actual ealea are necessary on the part of the public whose

incomes are much reduced by bad trade, or on the part of those

who have had calls made upon them. Egyptian stocks are weaker,

the financial news from Cairo being far from satisfactory. Bankshares, which a few days ago showed a tendency to recovery,

have again become dull ; but in the market for gas shares there

has of late been a decided improvement.

The weather is still severe, but the wheat trade is devoid of

activity. Supplies are fully adequate to our requirements, bat

there is no change in prices. Farm-work is much impeded bythe frost, and is chiefly restricted to the cartage of manure. Thequality of supplies of home-grown produce is still poor ; but the

prevailing dry, cold easterly winds are improving the condition.

Tbe money .llarkct and Financial Situation.—Tha gen-eral situation remaiu-t unclmngod. '1 he tone of cheerfulness andoonfideiico which has boon a striking feature in the markets eversince the opening of tho year, is still unbroken, and merchants•8 well as bankers and stock brokers appear to anticipate asteady improvement in business. The animation at tho StockExchange has not been as great as in previous weeks, but this is

no indication of any decrease in confidence, and it is observedthat prices of all stocks and bonds which have a fair prospect ofcontinuing to pay their dividends or interest are very firmly held.The money market works with great ease, and on call loans

rates are 2(§3 per cent, while on government bonds as collateraltime loans for 60 to 9U days are made at 1 per cent. Prime com-mercial paper is scarce, and sells at 3@4i per cent.The Bank of England return on Thurs<lay showed a gain for

the week of £399,000 in specie, and the reserve stood at 39^ percent of liabilities, against 26S per cent the previous week. Thediscount rate remains unchanged at 3 per cent, wliile money inthe open market is 2J per cent. The Bank of France showed anincrease for the week of 0,22.5,000 francs.The last statement of the New York City Clearing-House banks,

issued February 1, showed an increase of $591,303 in the excessabove their 25 per cent legal reserve, the whole of such excessbeing $17,877,300, against $17,256,000 the previous week.The following table shows the changes from the previous week

•Heretofore Included in "Other atooks, bonds, and mortgages," and" U. 8. bonds on hand."Cnlted Statea Bonds.—The extraordinary activitv in these

bonds continues at the highest point. The two calls' for bondsthis week amount to $40,000,000. A feature of the business moreapparent than heretofore, and not particularly desirable, is thetalcing of larger amounts of the 4 per cents in a speculative way.There are still many small owlers for bonds, which the bankersdesignate as the "savings bank" orders, as thev come fromparties who have usually deposited in savings banks. Nothingadditional is reported by the Syndicate bankers of further salesabroad, but other bankers are selling considerable amounts in theforeign markets.The Treasury Department has issued the following calls for

five-twenty bonds of 1867. The denomihations and numbers(al\oay» incltuive) of each class of bonds are as follows:

State and Railroad Bonda.—Louisiana consols have shownsome activity, and after selling to-day at 55^ closed at 57J. Itis not yet certain what action will be taken on the State debtquestion in Virginia, but anything better than 3 per cent does notappear to meet with favor by the " re-adjusters."

Kailroad bonds are active on an investment demand, and pricesare quite strong. It is difficult now to find any good 7 per centbond on the New York Stock Exchange list at a lower price than107 to 110, and even at thiti range there is a good demand. Thereis less speculative business in bonds than in the early part of theyear, but the inquiry from investors is well distributed through-out the list.

steadier and close pretty firm. There is a more Iiealthy feeling

in the present condition of the market, with prices confidently

held,'than during the late advance, when prices were jumping up2 to 3 per cent daily. There is nothing new in regard to the

value of stocks, and as for the earnings in January, it will be

seen from the statement on another page that the gross traffic onmost of the roads showed a decline as compared with the samemonth in 1878. The reports as to the breaking up of the pool-

ing arrangements among the trunk lines, or as to the cutting of

freight rates from the West, are so often made and again contra-

dicted in the newspapers that little reliance is placed on them.The last report of Brie traffic is for the month of October,

the first of the current fiscal year, and the net earnings were a

trifle larger than in the same month of 1877. The coal-road

stocks are quite strong in the face of the low prices for antlira-

eite which now prevail.

The daily highest and lowest prices have been as follows:

Portland & Ogdensbnrg.

(For the year ending Sept. 30, 1878.)

From the annual report the following is condensed :

The engineer reports the road-bed aad track aa greatly

improved since the last annual meeting, and this has been

mainly accomplished by the large renewal of cross-ties, and the

addition of about 20,000 cubic yards of gravel, with three hun-

dred and and thirty-two tons of new iron.

The railroad commissioneis, after a very thorough examina-

tion, and in a somewhat extended and very complimentary

notice of the road in their report to the present Legislature, say :

United Slatc» Rolling: Stock Company.(For the year ending Dee. 31, 1878.)

The annual report for 1878 has ju8t been Isaued, The Presi-dent, Mr. J. B. Hodgnklo, remarks:Thrt nccounts hvrowith submitted of the busincBS of your com-

Sany for the year 1678 show a net income for the year of |313,-

20, or nearly 6^ per cent upon the total share capital. Thedividend paid Sept. I, 187S, abuorbed $98,000, leaving |I216,62Unow dispo.iable. Out ot this your board recommend the paymentof the uHual March dividend of ten shillinga per share, whichrequires 1122.340, leaving $93,279 to be carried to the permanentresorvt). As compared with the previous year the amount carriedto permanent reserve shows a decline of f3S,6G0, which is thereal falling off in the result of the year's business. It is duemainly to the fact that durot; the last six months of the yearnearly the whole bnadgautte freight equipment heretoforeleased to the receiver of the Atlantic At (ireat Western Rnilroadhas been returned to aa, involvings not only a heavy outlay forrepairs, but also an average los?i of at least two months' rental onthe entire number of cars while undergoing re-construction.Your company was originally created and controlled by and fortba benetit of the Atlantic & (Jreat Western Uailroad Companyand its promoters, who, after incurring a debt to us of over £200,-000—which they have since eought to repudiate—left us in possession of a vast amount of depreciated broad-gauge rollingBlock, which could not be used except on their line, and a largenamber of engines, for which no market could bo found any-where We still have a long litigation to prosecute for therecovery of the enormous sums due us. This litigation is, ofcourse, attended with expense and much labor; but I am san-guine of success in recoverin ; ultimately the whole amount due.Whatever is recovered can be promptly re-inveated in newfreight equipment, which, at present cost, even at the reducedrates of rental, can readily earn a net income of 10 per cent. Butif no portion should ever be recovered, our capacity to earn pres-ent dividends with the equipment now in eervice remains unim-paired.

Elizabeth City (N. J.) Finances—Default was made in pay-

ment of the coupons on city bonds due Feb. 1. It is stated that

the current expenses of the city, in the matter of salaries of its

employes, for the past four months, amounting to about $60,000,

have not been paid, and in addition there is an indebtedness of

1150,000 for temporary loans made by the Comptroller.

The cause of the present condition of the city's finances was

BUrted in the spirit of speculation and desire for local improve-

ments which prevailed there in 1869-1873. Under the charter ot

1863 the city was authorized to loan its credit for improvements,

levying assessments by the lineal foot to re-imburfe itself. In

1875 the Court of Errors and Appeals decided that the assess-

ments should be made according to the "present" benefit

derived by tbe property owners from the improvements. The

lesolt was that the city was burdened with a debt of about

$3,000,000, as many of the pavements and other improvements

had greatly deteriorated. A writer in the Evening Post says :

"Und-r tlie heart of 'General City Debt,' the large i'em f.f $',R7f.,00O

•CoiifOlirtateillmproTtment Bonis' arises in this way: The ' Improvement

Debt,' nnder which th b liability was origlnnlly cnntiacted, is to be paid by

receipts from improvements, while the 'General Debt' is to be paid out of

the ceneral laxation; thtfrt was so luach dispute about assessments, etc..

that the city overturned and is overturning quantities of assessments, traus-

ferilng tlicir amoonts to the general debt; much has already be>n sotrare-

ferreo more will be, and It increases the amount necessary to he raised by

seneral uxation lor interest from $6S.OOO in l«r to $il6,ni in 1879. Twi>

Tears ago a sinlcing fund was esiabiifhed looking toward the liquidalion of

thla account. As yet it amounts onlv lo SI.36,0C0, hut it is a nucleus which is

a cause of amazing fatisfadiou to the citizens. Of th"! floating debt $705,000

jsaald to he secored by collaterals of c ly bonds to the value of $867,000; and

there are nlso $68,0J0 of authorized bonds not jet issued."

The total amount of the city debt on Jan. 1, 1879, according to

the statement of the Comptroller, as submitted to the CommonCouncil, was |5,833,865, divided as follows :

As these government lands are only open to entry under thepre-emption, homestead and tree culture acts, requiring actual

occupancy, these figures give an idea ot the tide of immigration.

Ohio & Mississippi.—Judge Drummond,of the United StatesCircuit Court, overruled the motion, in January, to rescind aninjunction restraining the National Trust Company, of New York,from selling $400,000 of bonds of the Springfield branch of theroad, held as collateral to secure a loan of $100,000.

At a meeting of bondholders in Richmond, Va, January 23, it

was resolved by the various classes of bondholders that I heyshould join in securing a foreclosure of the mort;;ages. Theyalso agreed to pay asses.sments of $3 per $1,000 on Orange & Alex-andria second morte^age bonds, $3 on third mortgage, $4 onfourth mortgage, $3 on Orange Alexandria & Manassas first

mortgage and $5 on second mortgage bonds, the committee to

have power to double the assessment, if necessary. A committeefor purcUasinsr and re ornanizalion was anpoinled as follows :

Messrs. Peter V. Daniel, Jr., atd John L. Bacon, of Richmond,Va.; Richard F. Merrick, of Washington, and Djnglas H. Gor-don, of Baltimore.

Western Maryland Railroad.—The Finance Commissionersof Baltimore decided to recommend to the City Council theacceptance of th^ joint proposition of the Finance Committee ofthe Western Maryland Railroad and the committee of secondpreferred morlgiga bondholders, which binds ihe ci'y "not to

demand or receive from the railroad company any interest whichm»y have accrued on the coupons of the first mortgage andsecond preferred mortgage bonds held by the city heretofore

matured, or which may mature up to the time that the paymentof interest under the funding provided for shall begin. (July 1,

1831,) until after the payment of all of said bands and couponsnot held by the city." The Baltimore Sun, comments thus : "Theinterpretation put upon 'his proposition by the Fioiince Commis-sioners is that the city shall not demand the payment of interest

upon matured interest coupons, that i'", intere.-<t upon interest, orcompound interest, tlie payment of which, it is stated, the Courtof Appeals has decided in the cise of the Chesapeake & OhioCanal Company cannot be demanded. The closing paragraph ofthe proposition, which says, ' until after the payment of all of

said bonds or coupons not held by the city,' is taken as meaning' for an indefinite period,' as it is not considered that the finances

of the company will allow the payment or redemption of thebonds and coupons held by individuals for some time to come, if

ever. The commissioners claim that'thecity will be benefitted

by the acceptance ot the proposition, on the grouod that whilethe city now receives no payment of iotaresi from the cimpany.

iadorsement of the first mortgage bonds and on the matured

coupons of the second preferred mortgage bonds, which are to be

funded at per cent.

Western Union Railroad.—Payment of the interest on the

fiist mortgage seven per cent bonds of the Western Union Rail-

road Company, due Feb. 1. was refused at the office of the

Farmers' Loan & Trust Company. This road is about twohundred and twelve miles long, running from Racine, Wis., to

Rock Island Junction, 111. The funded debt of the road amounts

to f3,500,000, and among the heaviest holders of these bonds is

the City of Glasgow Bank. The liquidators of that b.ink have at

present in this city a representative, Mr. Q. A. Thomson, whocame here for the purpose of disposing of their bonds. Mr.Thomson said he was satisfied that the road was well able to payfrom last year's earnings. A member of the banking firm of J. S.

Kennedy & Co., also large holders of the bonds, expressed his

indignation at the non-payment of interest and said that Mr. Thom-son and his firm had protested the coupons and intended to force

Friday Night, February 7.

Satisfactory progress continues to be made in the revival of

business, and spring trade is already on a liberal scale. Accountsfrom various quarters report that manufacturers are increasing

their operations, and works long suspended are starting up. Thegreatest confidence is felt in the administration of the finances of

the country, while determined efforts are being made on all sides

to curtail public expenses, and thus reduce the burdens of taxa-tion—an important aid to the restoration of commercial pros-

perity.

trick of the Chicago & St. Paul Railroad people to force parties to

sell their bonds at a sacrifice. The World money article had the

following in regard to this default

:

It is eatlefactorj to know that the bonds thcmselYce, by tke terms of themortgage, become dne if the ioterest retnaine anpaid for eixtj days, so thatthe liquidators of the City of Glasgow BsLUk, holding nearly tix-stiveuths ofHie bonds, will have an early opportunity of enforcing their claim? upun the

•00, and reports it as bavine co^t $1,500,750, or 75 per cent of its par value."The City of Glasgow Bank kolos $l,9S0,7iO, leaving the trifling amount I't

S8,340 of the stock nnaccounted for. The St. Paul managers, we areformed by Mr. G. A. Thomson, agent for the liqaidatsrs of the broken bank,

aiadeabidfor the bank's bonds, considerably below the market, and condi-tioned upon the shares being thrown in as worthless. The proress offoreclosure will give the managers of the St. Paul company the option ofpaying interest on the bonds, or seeing their own Western Union sharesWiped out.

ft Is, of courje. perfectly understood that the St. Paul road is not theXuiractor of the Western Union Railroad's bonds. But the St. Pau' directorsare the directors <if the Western Union, and, if they cheose to apply to freshnpital ezpendii nres the net earnings which thould pay the interi-et oo theWMMm Onion's bond!*, they must take the risk of seeing the line foreclosedanl passirg under other control, which will leave them, moreover, withnothing to show for their million and a half Invested in the Western Unionroad's shares.Mr. Thomson has procured from the auditor of the company its bilance-

•heet for Dec 31. 18*8, and a sutement of its earnings and expenses for theyear ending with that date. With the help of these documents we haveprepared comparative statements of condition for two years and of businessfor three years. The interest on bonds being $2i5,00O, it will be seen that the•nrplns of iSni was equal to a 2 per cent dividend on the stock and that of187B to over m per cent. The road is doubtless worth foreclosure.

The market for cotton on the spot haa ruled ooite Qrm th«past wook. Transactions have been on • limited aoale, but stookabeing reduced somewhat by free shipments gave holder* theadvantage, causing Increased buying for specuTatlon. Still, soquotable advance took place until yesterday, when quotatiooiwere marked up llOc, to 0-lOc. for middling uplands. To-<U7the market was steady at the advance, with a fair baslnsM fo/home consumption. The speculation in futures was also rathArquiet and prices variable. The depression which prevailed atthe close of our last nas continued on Saturday, and renewed oaTuesday, under the effect of an increased movement of the crop,the receipts at New Orleans being exceptionally large, and Mem*phis, among tho interior towns, returning large figures. But oaMonday, Wednesday and Thursday, tho market being relievedfrom depressing influences of the more active character, pricesreadily advanced. Still, the advance was without much spirit,

the market lacking tho effective support of a "short Interest"to give activity to the demand. A very considerable advancehadbeen established, however, at the close of Thursday's business.Sales of the next crop were made at 9 80 for November on Mon-day. To-day, a portion of yesterday's advance was lost, th«reports from Liverpool and Manchester being discouraging."The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 273,300

bales, including — free on board. For immediate delivery thstotal sales foot up this week .5,481 bales, including 820 for export,3,534 for consumption, 1,480 for speculation and 650 in transit. Ofthe above, 109 bales were to arrive. The following tables showthe ot&cial quotations and sales for each day of the past week:

From the foregoing it would appear that, compared with Iwtyear, there has been a deereate of 9,009 bales in the week's ship-

ments from Bombay to Europe, and that the total moTementsince January 1 shows a decrease in shipments of 49,000 bales,

compared with the corresponding period of 1878.

UuNNY B.V.OS, Baooino, Ecc—Bagging still rules dull, andscarcely any inquiry is reported. The parcels moving are only

small and for jobbing wants. There is no disposition shown to

I

buy largo parcels, even at a low figure, and tho close is dull andnominal, with holders quoting 8i^9Jc., according to weight.

IButts have become quiet again, and the small inquiry noted in

our last has subsided. There are a few small parcels reported

placed, but no Urge lots are moving. Tho feeling is rather easy

as to prxe, and quotations are 2i@3|c., and 2 7-l(Jc, for bagging

quality.

Thb Expoets of COTTOM from New York this week show anincrease, as compared with last week, the total- reaching 0,661

bales, against 4,233 bales last week. Below we give our anual

table showing the exports of cotton from New York, and their

direction, for each of the last four weeks; also the total exports

and direction since Sept. 1, 1378, and in the last column the total

for the same period of the previous year.

BREAD8TUFFS.Fbidat. F. M., February 7, 18V9.

The flour market opened the week quite depressed, especially

for the medium and better grades from spring wheat, the lower

grades of all kinds and the products of winter wheat remaining

barely steady. Somewhat easier terms could have been had for

lines of shipping extras, but as there was little done in these,

quotations remsdned nominally unchanged. Production is about

up to the average for the season. On Tuesday, however, a firmer

feeling was developed, in sympathy with an upward turn of

wheat, and since then the demand has gradually improved.

Shippers have been more liberal purchasers, and the trade has

replenished stocks mora freely. To-day, the market was quite

dull.

The wheat market opened for the week quite dull and de-

pressed. No. 2 red winter receding to $1 08i@l 08i on the spot,

and $1 09i for March. But on Tuesday there was a revival of

speculative confidence among holders, with an advance at the

West. It was Baid that California is threatened with a short

crop in consequence of the drought, and that supplies from Russia

will probably be cut off, or at least materially reduced, by the

quarantines established to prevent the spread of the plague ;

hence such a demand for export may be anticipated as will soon

dispose of our vast accumulations in store. Still, prices have not

advanced much. Yesterdaj's business was at $1 084@1 09i for

No. 2 red winter, and 93@93ic. for No. 3 spring, with speculation

in futures quite downward. To-day, the market was dull, and

prices partially lower and unsettled.

THE DRY aOODS TaADE.Fbidat, p. M.. Febniary 7, 1«7».

The past week has witnessed a continued active demand (or the

most staple cotton goods on the part of package buyers, and there

wa? a more general movement in spring fabrics than at any tlma

since the opening of the year. Some improvement was also

developed in the jobbing branches of the trade, and coneiderabls

quantities of cotton goods, prints, gingiiams, &c., were disposed

of In package lots by the leading houses; but the piece distribu-

tion was only of moderate proportions. The demand for woolea

goods was checked during the early part of the week by aa

impending auction sale of 4,000 pieces fancy casslmeres, chevloti

and coatings, which caused many buyers to defer their purchases,

in order to await results. The sale proved to be a successfu

one, and the entire offering was closed out at acceptable prices

which led to a somewhat improved business in men's-wear

woolens toward the end of the week.

Domestic Cotton Goods.—The exports of domestic cottons

from this port to loreign markets during the week ending

February 4 were 1,327 packages, the more important lots of whick

were shipped as follows: Qreat Britain 491 packages, U. S. of

Ck>lombia 175, Brazil 187, Dutch West Indies 74, Sandwich Islands

G3, Mexico 56, British Guiana 51, British West Indies 49, &c.

I The cotton goods market was fairly active, and stocks are so well

in band that a slight upward tendency was developed In leading

makes of brown cottons, wide sheetings, &c,, some of which were

marked an by agents. Brown and bleached goods continued in

good request, and there was a steady movement In wide sheetings,

denims, ducks, ticks, corset jeans, &c., while there was a

moderately increased, though somewhat irregular, demand for

cheviots and cottonades. White goods, piques and quilta

continued fairly active and steady in price. Print cloths ruled

quiet, and a shade easier than when last reported upon. Prints

met with liberal sales, and there was a brisk demand for ging-

hams, spring styles of which were opened by leading agents.

Domestic Woolen Goods.—There was an uneven demand

(or meti's-wear woolens, and business in this department was, on

the whole, less active than expected. Spring casslmeres,

cheviots and worsted coatings were, however, in fair request by

clothiers and cloth jobbers, and there was also a moderate

inquiry (or heavy casslmeres and suitings. Tweeds and boys'

casslmeres received a fair share of attention, but buyers evinced

a good deal of caution in their operations, which were mostly

confined to relatively small parcels. Kentucky jeans were la

irregular demand, but perhaps a trifle more active, and there

was a moderate Inquiry for printed satinets. Alpacas and staple

worsted dress goods were more sought for by buyers from distant

distributing points, but the general demand was of limited

proportions. Shawls were In moderate request and there was an

increased movement In gauze and summer merino underwear.

FoBEiON Dry Goods.—There was a relatively light demand

for imported fabrics, but a good many bnyera were observed in

the market making memoranda as a basis for early operations

Dress goods and silks were lightly dealt in, and such was the

case with woolens and linen goods; but a fair dittribution of

Hamburg embroideries, whltejgoods and laces was eflfected by

importers.
