PRUSPliCTiVE SUPPLY AND COJISU-IIPTION UP SILVER.

The past week will be remembered as the occasion of

our second attempt to introduce silver in the place of

•our fractional currency. A first effort, made in October,

IS'TS, scarcely deserves the name, as little was expected

from It by any one. But the arrangements now are very

-complete, and contemplate, of course, the withdrawal-of the entire fractional issues as rapidly as possible.

While the question was being debated, and before a

•determination was reached, we expressed doubt as to

•the expediency of the step, because of the possibility of

a rise in the price of silver to a point which would cause

•our silver currency to disappear. As, however, the plan is

to be tried, its entire success will be the earnest hope of aU.

Certainly, the disciples of a paper-money system will find

no consolation in the eagerness with which the entire

«ommunity is seeking tc feel of, and hold and own, these

new metallic issues. Paper may be convenient j but,

clearly, until by experience our people have learned its

convertibility, and therefore thot it has a value, they

will prefer the real to its shadow.

It may not be uninteresting at this time to bring

together, as briefly as possible, the various influences

which are at this time affecting, or in the near future

may affect, the price of silver. And first among them, of

course, is the praduction. We all know how the United

States' supply has increased and is increasing, and yet

we think the popular impression puts it at a higher

figure than it really is. Statements are published that

the production in one month of the " Comstock Lode "

has reached over 83,500,000; and it is at once concluded

that here alone, in this one district, is a probable supply

of $40,000,000 of silver bullion, forgetting that, even if

that total production for the year is reached, about 45

per cent, of it is gold. In a word, then, there is little

reason to suppose that the quantity of pure silver which

the United States will furnish this year can exceed 40

million dollars from all sources. Even back in 187-3 the

production reached over 35 millions. Thus we find that

our present supply is very far from limitless—not so

very much in excess of what it has been, as someimagine. And, taking all other producing countries

together, the prospective contribution from them cannot

be more than the United States' supply. We thus see

tliat there is nothing in the present production itself to

so materially disturb values. The very low price reached

must have been a temporary result of the considerable

amount thrown upon the European markets, by reason

of the German coinage operations, disturbing as it did

men's minds as to values, and leading to a general" bear " movement.

After this spasm then has passed, what influences are

likely to operate by increasing the demand in the near

future ? First, we have our own currency wants to sup-

ply, and for those we should require nearly the year's

production of our mines. This, certainly, is a very

important element in the question of price, and, if it

were not for the amount of silver being set free in

Germany, would necessarily have a disturbing influence

upon values. As it is, is it unnatural to suppose that

the tendency of the market from this cause will be

towards firmer rates ?

Then, again, France may see fit to resume specie pay-

ments any day, and if she were to do it, her silver wants

are likely to be large. The London Economist, of March

18, referred at considerable length to this feature of the

question, shewing quite clearly that if silver remains

relatively low this, new demand it, in the event mentioned,

likely to assert itself. The French mint coins the two

386 THE CHRONlCLh [April 22, 1876.

metals at the proportion of 15^, which is about 60id. for

an ounce of silver, whereas the market price to-day is

53jd. In the Bank of France there is now about 250 mil-

lions of gold and 100 millions of silver. Says the Economist:

" If the Bank of France could sell its g«ld for silver at

" the present price, it would get a large profit ; it would

" have done a capital bullion transaction on a roagnifi-

" cent scale, and the shareholders would be large gainers

"inconsequence. In 1860, the Emperor Napoleon, to

" whom the accounts of the Bank of France were then

" constantly submitted, would not permit this natural

" remedy to be tried, and, therefore, the Bank of France

" had to forego the profit, and to change away the dearer

" inetal with the Bank of England. But now there can

" be no choice ; the sums to be dealt with are so large

" that no such palliative by exchange can be thought of.

" If cash payments are to be resumed in France, large

"sales of gold for silver must precede and accompany

" it."

It is also possible that the depreciation in the price of

silver may lead to some preparations in Italy or Austria

or Ilassia for a specie resumption, and the aim of those

countries would necessarily be to reach a silver standard.

"We only refer to this as a possible contingency. They

have all suffered long from a depreciated paper currency

And we suggest it in connection with the idea which

largely prevails in Europe, that the production of silver

will go on increasing. We notice that M. Chevalier, in

a recent number of the Revue des Deux MondeSy takes the

position that silver production is capable of indefinite

expansion. He quotes from " Humboldt's New Spain,''

a passage in which this opinion is plainly expressed

regarding the Mexican mines, and gives a statement of

M. Duport, who travelled in Mexico subsequently to M.

Humboldt, and who takes the same view. Until Mexico,

however, can enjoj a better government than she nowpossesses, these speculations seem to us of very little

value. AVe think it is far more likely that the countries

we have named will require silver for curreacy than that

Mexico, with its present government and the present

depreciation in price prevailing, will increase its supply

of silver.

Retolted, That the officer* o( the baDka composing the Clearin^-

House Awociation consider it to be their duty, and they will

recommend to their respective institutions, to earnestly contest,

by all legal means, the right claimed by the Tax Commisgionersof the city of Xew York to assess the shares of bank stock to the

extent now propo8«d,and for the followinif, among other reasons:

Pint—That the assessment is in excess of the authority given

by ConisresB to tax the shares of National banks :" but not at a

greater rate than other moneyed capital."

Second—That the proposed tax is upon a valuation having norespect to the convertibility of bank shares in the market, andone that is not applied to any other species of property.

Third—Th&t while in all other forms of personal property the

right of deducting Government bonds and of offeetting debts dueby the party taxed, is admitted, it is in respect solely of bankshares absolutely denied.

Fourth—That' the tax proposed is so oppressive that it may-

compel the banks to divide their surpluses among shareholdera

just at a time when they are most needed to meet the loBScsg.

continually occurring to them by failures of business houses, andto provide for the peculiar extingencies of the commercial com-munity in retnrninjr to specie values.

Fifth—'VhM it will drive out of the city a large amount of

capital from abroad invested in shares of city banks, which nowcontributes a great amount to State and city taxes.

Sixth—That such oppressive taxation will tend to diminish thfr

power of the banks to such an extent that they cannot furnish

the guarantees required to retain the confidence and the deposits,

as hitherto, of the country at large, and it will, therefore, add anew influence to many otiiers now operating to lessen the import-

ance of the city of New York as a commercial metropolis.

Seventh—That the proposed aseessment is not only an unequaltax upon the banks themselves, but th»t it will operate as a special

and oppressive burden upon the commercial community, and is,

therefore, subversive of the very purposes of taxation.

Resolved, That the legal counsellors of the various banks berequested to meet Judge Emott, the counsel of the Tax Com-mittee, at the Cleariug-House, on Wednesday (to-morrow), at $o'clock, to confer together upon such method of legal proceedings

as shall most effectually meet the necessities of the case.

There is a feeling which to some extent prevails, that

all which can be obtained from corporations by taxation

or free services is lawful gain, and a saving to other tax-

payers or the general public. So in some of the Western

States, a few months back, it was believed that railroads-

could and must be made to serve the people indefinitely;

but in that case a little experience appeared to throw

new light on the subject, and the error was soon seen?

and aoknowledged. With the same spirit, we find fre-

quently laws proposed to cripple insurance business. Atpresent, however, the popular delusion is that banks are-

the recipients of many favors, .and give the public noth-

ing in return. Therefore, as their gross capital is large

and easily reached, taxing and weakening them is con-

sidered to be a good service. It surprises us, however.

-_ - ^ r-- that men of tho intelligence of our State assessors should

s'.bilities which are involved in the discussion of this

question. It is suggested, also, that France may discard

silver. Her double metallic system is condemned by her

leading writers; but, for reasons we have not the space

to refer to now, we think such a change is unlikely to

be made for many years. We reach, then, one conclu-

sion from the foregoing which interests us especially,

and that is, having now adopted the plan of a silver frac-

tional currency, we shall, in case silver materially rises

in value, ensure its permanency alone by a steady prog-

ress towards gold redemption for our greenbacks; andto that end it becomes us now to devote ourselves.

TAXATION OF BASK SURPLUS.

It will be remembered that in December last weexpressed ourselves very decidedly with regard to the

impolicy of the taxation, by the State authorities, of the

Surplus of the Banks. Early in the year, the Clearing-

House, after futile efforts with the tax assessors,

brought the whole subject to the attention of the Legis-

lature, and have been waiting for some favorable action,

but, up to this time, in vain. Consequently, at a large

meeting of bank officers held at the Clearing-House on

Tuesday of this week, the following admirable resolutions,

offered by Mr. Coe, President of the American Exchange

Bank, were unanimously adopted:

be engaged in such a work, for we certainly had supposed

they were above pandering to a popular prejudice.

Many of our readers do not probably understand the

precise question at issue; and hence a few words of

explanation will be of advantage.

It will be remembered that, in the Currency Act of

1864, it was provided by Congress that each National

Bank " shall, before the declaration of a dividend, carry

" one-tenth of its net profits of the preceding half year

" to its surplus fund, until the same shall amount to

" twenty per centum of its capital stock." This provis-

ion is obligatory upon all the National Banks, and manyof our institutions, not only Natioijal, but State banks,

ha\e felt so strongly the importance of the principle

here established, that their surplus now far exceeds the

twenty per cent required by the act. These accumula-

tions have been looked upon with great favor, as they so

largely add to the stability of our banking system; and

especially should they be favoied, and their increase

encouraged, at a time like the present, when so manyuncertainties hang about the future. In our return to

specie payments, the banks must necessarily bear a heavy

strain. The commercial community suffers or profits in

proportion as the banks are weak or strong when the trial

comes; for they are the groundwork, or, perhaps, more

accurately speaking, the nervous system of our whole

April 22, 1676.] THE CHRONICLE. 387

business organization. Dare we think what a disaster it

would have been had our banks failed in the panic of

1873 ! We see, therefore, how every man is personally

interested iu sustaining each feature of our banking sys-

tem which adds to its stability.

The latest State legislation on this subject of taxing

banks is in the New York State Laws of 1866, and is as

follows :" No tax shall hereafter be as.sessed upon the

"capital of any bank or banking association organized

" under the authority of this State, or of the United

"States, but the stockholders in such banks and banking*' associations shall be assessed and taxed on the value of

*' their shares of stock therein * * * ^,^^_ ^^^ ^^

"a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed" capital in the hands of individuals in this State." Thewording of the law of 1865 was that the assessment

should be on the "par fa^/e," whereas it will be seen that

1 the law of 1866, which is the present law, reads

• *'on the va?!/e." This, however, has always been iiiter-

"•preted to mean par value, and all taxes have been

assessed on that basis, until the past year, when suddenly

it was discovered that it could be made to mean some-

thing else. Consequently, now the advertised capital and

surplus are taken as the standard of value. Of course, to

make up that surplus, there will, iu almost every bank, be

doubtful debts ; and if any of the banks were to go into

liquidation, probably in no case would the shareholder

realize the full capital and surplus. The only trueguage

of the value of a share of stock is what it will sell for in

the market—and, if tBe statute is to be interpreted to

mean the actual value and not the pir value, the assessors

clearly should have taken the stock list and based their

assessment on the average price for the year. But this

• did not suit, because there would be nearly as much lost

on the stocks that were below par, as gained on those

which were above. There would, however, have been, in

the law, the semblance of authority for such a proceeding,

whereas now there does not seem to be the least basis or

excuse for the action taken. Besides, this action appears

to be in direct violation of the United States law.

Bat we forbear entering upon the legal questions

involved. It is sufficient to know that the assessors were

in no way required by the State law to take the step they

have taken, that law having rested, without any protest

from the Legislature, under a different construction for ten

years; and that public policy, and the interest of every

business man in the State, demand that the banks be left

free to increase their surplus, and not be driven by taxa-

tion to divide it among their shareholders. There is

no law to prevent the State banks making such division

at once; and the National associations can also, in the

game way, bring tlieir accumulations down to twenty per

cent. In fact, all this is being done now. Surely, no one

ever heard of a better device for placing a premium on

bad banking.

But it may be a»ked, should there be no limit to these

untaxed accumulations? We reply, that very likely

there should be. To say, however, where the line is to

be drawn, is an extremely delicate question; one, in the

solution of which, the public safety is first to be con-

sidered. The Legislature should approach it with great

deliberation and care, and clearly define and indicate its

judgment and determination. It is of far more import-

ance that our banks be prepared for every possible con-

tingency, than that we should obtain from them a fewdollars more or less by taxation. And especially is it

ill-judged for assessors to take a law, not intended for

any such purpose and which has borne a different inter-

pretation since 1866, and suddenly construe it so as to

work an entire change in the banking p»licy of the

Nation. These institutions owe it to tbe public, as well

as to themselves, to contest the question, and we are

pleased that they have entered upon the work with so

much spirit.

NEW ORLEANS EXPORTISG BRE.lDSTLFfS.

The work of Captain Eads, in deepening the water at

the mouth of the Mississippi liiver with his jetties, is

rapidly growing in interest as its success becomes more

assured; for, with success, we can scarcely over-estimate

the resulting benefits to tiie country. A telegram, dated

tbe 15th instant, states that careful soundings through

the jetties, made last Friday, show the least depth of

w.iter to be 15^ feet clear. A depth of 22 feet extends

1} miles from the upper end of the jetties to within

about half a mile from the deep sea. In this half mile

there are several hundred feet of 22 feet depth. Half

way down the jetties there are 32 feet of water in one

locality, and several hundred feet of 20 feet and 28 feet.

The 15J- feet shoal will be gone, the telegram states, by

the 1st of May, when they will have a channel, at least

20 feet deep, through to the sea.

These facts indicate very satisfactory progress and a

very hopeful prospect. If the end sought can be really

attained—and there is every reason now to suppose it

will be- -we look for a decided change in the business at

New Orleans. Of course, all trade channels work them-

selves into importance, like Captain Eads jetties, slowly.

As is well known, however, the bar at the mouth of the

Mississippi Kiver, has always prevented any considerable

development in breadstuff shipments. Much has been

written in tbe North about wheat and corn heating, whentaken that way; but we are persuaded there is nothing

in this idea. Remove the bar, that i.?, give vessels 28 or

more feet of water, and, we fancy, after that, there will

be very little discussion of the heating question. Thetrouble is now, that it pays better to take cotton ; but with

the improved channel they can carry a mixed cargo, and

make more money. For instance, the Mississippi & Do-

minion steamers, which run between New Orleans and

Liverpool, are never loaded to their carrying capacity.

They fill up with cotton, and load down to, say, 19 feet;

but, remove the bar, and they will carry, jusi about the

same amount of cotton, and put in wheat as dead weight,

loading down to 22 feet. This is simply an illustration

of a general, well-known truth. Now, suppose we add

to it one further fact, stated to us by a New Orleans

friend who proposes to do it himself as soon as the diffi-

culty at the mouth of the river is removed—that is,

bring wheat to New Orleans from Cairo at three cents a

bushel. Very possibly this is a little overdrawn, and

may not be realized; but our informant's plan contem-

plates the construction of a peculiarly made boat, with a

double bottom, which will permit its return up the river

without too much resistance from the current. Wemight add that the person we refer to is a man whose

business capacity has been demonstrated by a success

few attain, and possessing energy enough to prove (if

we did not know to the contrary) that his birth was

among the New Hampshire hills.

But, aside from this individual promise, is it net rea-

sonable to suppose that, after the Mississippi is opened

at its mouth and low freights to Europe for bread-

stuffs become a possibility, some inexpensive modeof floating wheat down that river will be adopted, so as

to save to the producer several cents a bushel, and solv-

ing the question of cheap transportation for the extreme

388 THE CHRONICLE [April 22, 1876.

Western section? We are persuaded that there is

much in this idea, and that the future of New Orleans,

as a large exporter of grain, is very promising. The

people themselves are not much more than beginning to

understand the situation. It is not their fault, though,

but the fault of a base, corrupt power, which has held

their energies in check while stealing the little they did

make. Now, however, this is being changed. Carpet-

bag rule is at its last gasp, and we may soon hope to see

that beautiful, fertile portion of our country left free

to develop its wonderful resources.

New Orleans is also in other respects in a position nowto be benefitted by any improvement in her surround-

ings. Not only is she gradually obtaining the blessings

of good government, but she has arranged her city debt

which has long been troubling her. The States which

are her near neighbors, and in great part tributary to her,

have also been able to throw ofE their imported officials,

and are free now to develop their resources. A ^ood

illustration of the results likely to flow from this change,

may be seen in the history of Arkansas the past twelve

months. In the manufacturing business she has likewise

made a very favorable beginning, the Lane cotton mill in

the eity having, as we are informed, made 30 per cent,

dividends this year, and the cotton mill at Wesson 40

per cent. Then, again, eflForts are being made by her

people to open up the surrounding country ; an illustra-

tion of this is seen in the projected railroad from Alex-

andria, on the Red River, to Marshall (part of the NewOrleans & Texas Pacific Railroad), which is all graded

from Alexandria to Mansfield, and the city proposes to

tax itself to buy the rails, and hopes to have it finished

for the next crop year. Should this be accomplished,

about 80,000 bales of cotton, it is expected, will be added

to the New Orleans receipts, and, besides this, the moreimportant paint will be gained of tapping the magnifi-

cent wheat-growing district of Northern Texas. Alto-

gether the prospect is certainly very promising, and if

Capt. Eads shall succeed in thejwork he has undertaken,

the whole country will have cause to rejoice, while NewOrleans will be prfetty sure to find its eleven miles of

water front well occupied.

The lowest prices were reached in Aujfust last, when crude in

balk averaged 5.31c., and refined in shipping order 11.40c. Thereduced production began to be felt then, giving rise to consider-

able epeculation, with an advance of about three cents per gallon.

The reduced production was the result of a contraction of work.

in boring new wells, and the extent to which this was carried bya combination among those wtio are proprietors of the pelroleum

lands is exhibited in the annexed table :

PETROlElIitt—ITS POSITION A.\'D PROSPECTS.

Trade ia petroleum has, during the past few months, been

going through what may be designated as a crisis in its history

This is true of production and home consumption, as well as the

foreign demand. Hence a review of the leading facts bearing

upon the present position of this Important article—the relation

of supplies to demand, the prospective production, and the aiore

recent course of prices—s«ems to be called /or.

The production of petroleum increased very rapidly down to

1874, as may be seen in the following statement of production for

seven years

In January, 1875, the yield was 853,000 bbls., from which it

fell to 713,000 bbls. last December, and has since slightly in-

creased, averaging 23,251 bbls. per day for the first three monthsof 1876. Consumption and export have also increased veryrapidly, but not so rapidly as production, and there was, down to

the summer of 1875, a very marked decline in prices, of whichthe annexed is an exhibit by years :

It would appear from the above that the work has been renewed

on the most extensive scale, and probably the dulness and de-

pression in the principal markets which have prevailed for th&

past month, may be attributed as much to the prospect which in

thus afforded that production will be increased materially, as to-

the fact that present prices are relatively high. There is

another circumstance which causes dulness. The trade has be-

come so well regulated, and the nature and sources of the supply

so well understood, that it is not regarded as necessary to carry

excessive stocks, and yet the stocks of petroleum at sources of

supply on February 1st, for the past ihree years, were : In 1874,

1,283,000; 1875, 4,497,000; 1876. 8,73-5,000 bbls. But there are

reduced supplies in Europe, the stocks at the six principal

European markets being : December 31, 1874, 523,757 bbls.; Dec.

18, 1875, 380,254 bbls.; April 1, 1876, 173,363 bbls. This reduc-

tion would indicate an increased consumption, for our exports

have been well maintained, as may be seen from the following

statement of total exports from the United States for three years :

Germany has been and continues to be our chief foreign cus-

tomer for petroleum, taking forty-two million gallons from thi»

port in 1874, exclusive of a considerable proportion of ten million

gallons which were cleared to " Cork for orders." The United

Kingdom took twenty million gallons, exclusive of some portion

j of that which went to Cork for orders. France about eleven

million gallons; the Mediterranean and Baltic ports were free

buyers; Australia, China and the East Indies took nearly twevle

million gallons; the West Indies about three millions; and Brazil

about three millions; but other countries of South America are-

not yet awake to its cheapness and excellence as an illuminating

ftuid. The greatest increase in the exportation has been of lata

to Liverpool and London. These two cities took from this port

only 3,324,0C0 gallons in 1871 ; but in 1874 oar shipments to themwere 15,043.000 gallons. The shipments from New York to

Sweden in 1872 were only 100,230 gallons, but in 1874 they were

4,180,619 gallons. The exports of petroleum from New York in

1875 were some ten million gallons smaller th»n in 1874, but

there was at the same time an increase of about eight million

gallons to German, French and English ports, leaving a fallinjr

off of eighteen million gallons to be distributed among the Baltio-

and Mediterranean ports and the more distant or inconstant

markets of the world ; which deficit was in part made good, how-

ever, by more liberal shipments from other ports of the United

States; and it is to be noted that China and Japan increased the

quantity shipped to them from New York.

It will be observed that the price of naphtha has not followed

the fluctuations in crude and refined petroleum, and that the

export for 1875 was much larger than in either of the two pre-

ceding years. Germans invented a lamp, in which, it is stated,

that naphtha may be safely burned ; and at one time it was

employed to a considerable extend in the manufacture of gas, but

the indifferent results produced, and the lower prices of coal and

other articles employed in gas works, have caused naphtha to be-

used less freely than formerly.

The conclusions to be drawn from this array of facts aro not very-

obvious, and do not open up the near future of prices very clearly.

Yet some assurance may be felt that prices at least are not likely

to experience so great a decline as occurred in the summer of

1875. The producers have demonstrated to themselves and to-

consumers, what may be acomplished by concert of action ia

reducing production. Petroleum is aa article of such acknowl-

edged merit that its c-jnsumption is quite certain to increase, tiU

April 22, 1876.] THE CHRONICLE 389

its coBt shall become so great as to make other means of

illumination comparatively cheap. Its substitution for gas,

in the large cities, is a fact'ol much significance. Even at the

current production of about 700,000 bl)l8. per month, the

demand seems to be fully equal thereto. It is very probable,

from the activity with which the work of drilling wells has been

resumed, that current prices are highly remunerative, and that

some decline is expected, and even desired, as a means of stimu-

lating the demand to meet the increased production which will

no doubt take place. It will be an interesting question, how far

the new wells will add to the supply. Should the increased yield

be considerable, efforts to extend the knowledge of the article

and increase its consumption will be encouraged, as assurance

will be afforded that supplies may be incr«ased with the growth

of the demand.

IFrom oar own correspondent.!

London, Saturday, April 8, 1876.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer delivered his Budget speech

on Monday evening, and regretted that it fell to his lot to propose

additional taxation. The only increase, however, is in the

income tax, which is to be augmented to the extent of one penny

in the pound, or from 2d. to 3d., from which all incomes of £100

per annum and under are to be exempt, while those up to £400

per annum are to undergo a ratable deduction. It is anticipated

that the extra sum obtainable from this additional charge wil

amount to £1,480,000, the result of which will be that a presumed

deficiency of about £800,000 will be converted into a surplus ot

£368,000. The total revenue for the coming year is estimated at

£78,413,000, and the expenditure at £78,044,000. The principal

increase will be in the expenditure for the army and navy, the

necessity of which Sir Stafford Norihcote regretted, but whiclj be

regarded as indispensable in the interests of the country. The

army is to cost next year as much as £15,283,000, and the navy,

£11.289,000. The public do not appear to have expected an

increase in the income tax ; but, as thetix will only amount to

8d. in the pound, not much has been said about it.

Mr. Cave's report upon the finances of Egypt has been

published,but it does not contain very much that is new. It confirms,

however, the popular opinion that the Government of the country

has borrowed in excew of its means, and that great care will be

necessary to avoid drifting into bankruptcy. Mr. Cave says,

however, that, with the exception of the Suez Canal, Egypt has

very little to show for the money she has borrowed, a remark

which is not only new, but is disappointing to th^ bondholders, as

the opinion was very general that the Government had made

very fair use of the proceeds of the various loans. The accounts

have been kept in a very slovenly manner, aad it is' evident that

recent loans were simply acquired for the purpose of paying off

existing liabilities. With regard to the loan issued in 1873, it is

mentioned that it was contracted for the express purpose of

clearing off the floating debt, which then amounted to £28,000,000.

The nominal amount of that loan was £33,000,000, which was

reduced to an apparent effective of £20,740,077, of which, how-

ever, £9,000,000 was paid in the bonds of the floating debt.

" These bonds," It is added, " pnrchasoi by the contractors at k

heavy ditcoust, and sometimes at a price as low as 65 per cent,

were paid into the Treasury at 93 per cent, an operation which

materially enhanced the profits accruing to the negotiators of the

loan." The floating debt was, In consequence, not paid off at all,

and even now amounts to the heavy total of £18,243,000. In

addition to this, every resource has been drawn upon and there

is nothing further to hypothecate. This is evidently a gloomy

condition of affairs, and the prospect is equally discouraging, foi

the Khedive has sacrificed permanently 50 per cent, of the rev-

enae from the land tax, in order to meet his present and pressing

needs. Under these circumstances, any loan for Egypt or doabtfol

States is altogether out of the question. Egypt will find great

difficulty in reestablishing her credit. Prosperity, resulting

from abundant harvests of cotton and cereals, will, of course, aid

her materially, but the country is not an inviting one, and thn

progreES must be slow. The fear is that Egypt is so low in

linancial embarrassment, that many years of extreme carefulness

and watchfulness over the revenue and expenditure are necessary ;

while more honesty is imperative amongst the various officials,

who, it is feared, from the insecurity of their positions, have,

like in most Eastern countries, enriched themselves when they had

the opportunity. To break through these abuses and to inau-

gurate a sound system of finance, will undoubtedly be an

arduous task ; not only because heavy liabilities exist, and the

revenue is inadequate to meet them, but because, also, Egypt ia

wanting in men of capacity to propose aud carry out the

requisite reforms.

The directors of ths Bank of England have, this week, reduced

their minimum rata of discount from 3i to 3 per cent. Themovement was very generally anticipated, as the demand for

money was ou a restricted scale ; the supply of floating capital

was increasing, owing to the payment of the dividends, and gold

was accumulating somewhat rapidly in the vaults of the Bank of

England. The prospect is that money will remain easy for a long

time to come. Trade remains exceedingly quiet, and there is

but little prospect of new schemes being introduced to public

notice, which will have the effect of causing money to leave the

country. There is likely, therefore, to be a very restricted inquiry

for money during the summer months, and hence low rates of

discount must indubitably prevail. The quotations lor money

There has bi-en a fair arrival of gold during the week, and, in

the absence of an export demand, somi; considerable sums have

quoted at 524-1. per ounce. The usual periodical sale of bills on

The amount of business in progress in the stuck markets has

been verj moderate, and rather a dull tone has prevailed. The

principal movement has been in Egyptian Qovernment securities,

whiclt have been depressed upon Mr. Cave's report, but the

tendency of values has, in other respects, been adverse. Thepublic have been operating to a very moderate extent, while only

those speculators who enjoy the reputation of bting wealthy have

been able to operate to any coniiderable extent. Much caution

naturally prevails, and this is a condition of affairs which is

likely to last.

We have enjoyed a week of remarkably fine weather, and the

farmers have been able to make rapid progress with spring

sowing. The effects of the recent heavy rains are passing away,

and, indeed, on the high lauds, a genial shower would do good.

The prospect is certainly more encouraging, and there is no

reason to believe that the harvest, taken as a whole, will be a defi-

cient one. A large crop of wheat, however, is impossible, as the

area of land under that cereal is small. Experience has taught

us that we can now supply our deficiencies at a very moderate

cost, and the public now pay but little attention to deficient har-

vests. The farmers, however, complain bitterly, and it is a well"

known fact that there are many excellent farms to let, for which

it is difficult to find tenants. The low price of wheat and the

foot-and-mouth disease have frightened capital away from

agriculture ; and, unless farming should become more profitable,

the productions of the soil in this country will diminish.

The trade for wheat during the week has been very quiet, but

there has been no material change in prices. Choice qualities of

produce have chiefly attracted attention and have been steady io

value.

The following figures show the imports and exports of cereal

produce into and from the United Kingdom since harvest, viz.,

from September 1 to the close of last week, compared with the

corresponding periods in the previous three years ;

quarters, against 186,800 quarters in 1875. Since harvest the

sales in the 150 principal markets have been 1,410,385 quarters,

against 1,363,243 quarters ; and in the whole Kingdom, 5,641,400

quarters, agaioit 7,449,000 quarters in 1874-5. It is estimated

It is known to our citizens that during the past week quitea number of cases of the city against delinquent tax-payershave been tried in tbe District Court. lu one of these cases, triedon Friday, tbe question of the city's power and authority to create asinking fund of one per cent to pay tbe interest on the consolidatedbonds was raised. Judge Masterson ruled that the Court refusedin any way to interfere with this one per cent sinking fund, andfurther ruled that tbe city had the power and authority, under thelaw, to arrange with its creditors and issue this consolidated bondIn other cases, tbe Court also denied the light of parties to offsetth»ir taxes in coupons of the old bonds. This settles the legalityof the city's action in compromising with its creditors, fundine itsdebt and issuing a new bond therefor.

wood, the earnings are given at $510,472 65, against $277,242 9Sfor 1874, an increase oi $283,230 75. This increase is largely

not a single passenger having been killed or injured during 1875.

Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.—Tbe Committee of Pur-chase and Reorganization, under date of April 18th. has issued a cir-

cular, in which they say that having foriually assumed tbe futuredirection and management of all matters connected therewith," It will be the aim of the Committee to perfect the reorganiza-tion without unnecessary delay, and in the arrangement of thodetails to consult the interest and convenience of the bond-holders."

" They will cooperate with the trustees of the mortgages in

bringing the suits for foreclosure, now pending in tlie courts of

Virginia and West Virginia, to a satisfactory issue, and in secur-ing a decree of sale as early as practicable ; tliey will provide for

the deposit of the outstanding bonds, when their surrenderbecomes necessary, with a responsible trust company or othersuitable depository, and the issue of negotiable certificates indenominations to suit the convenience of the owners of thebonds ; they will purchase the property when offered for sale, andmake the necessary provision for the issue of tbe new securities

and the proper organization of the successor company, and, ia

general, endeavor to devise and carry out such measures, in

accordance with the terms of tbe plan of reorganization, as will

best promote the objects and tend to secure the results for whichit is designed."

The committee are gratified to announce that, up to the presenttime, the holders of $10,512,400 of the first morgage six per cent,

bonds, out of a total of $15,000,000, and $10,892,000 of tbe sevenper '^ent. mortgage bonds, out of a total of $13,131,(X)0 outstand-ing, have already signed their assent to tbe plan of reorganiza-tion. The privilege of participation still remains open under thedirection of tbe committee ; and there is reason to expect thatbefore the sale takes place the co operation of the bondholders,and all other parties interested, will be practically unanimous.

FKIDAY. APRIL, %1, 1876—6 P. Id.Tbe moner JTIarket and Financial Sltaatlon. The

principal events of the past week were the commencement, onThursday, of silver payments in exchange for fractional currencyby the U. S. Treasury; the appearance of Secretary Bristow'scircu'ar, inviting proposals for $5,883,000 of the 5 per cent bondsof 1881 on Monday next; and the continued depression in ourstock market.As to the silver payments, there 's little new to be said beyond

the details of the matter, which are, chiefly, that no smalleramount of fractional currency than $5 is taken for exchange, andno larger amount than $100 in one lot, 13 paid out at the Sub-Treasury, larger amounts than $100 being paid at Washington.During Thursday there was paid out altogether about $10,000to some 150 pariies, and to-day about $17,000 to 190 differentapplicants.

The circular of Secretary Bristow, quoted below, hascaused a good deal of discussion, mainly from his limitationof the bids to a minimum of .$500,000 each, and the require-ment of payment in gold. The objection urged to these pro-visions, particularly the first one, is that it practically shuts outhome investors, and throws the purchase into the hands ofbankers—very probably some of the leading houses with foreignconnections. .There is a diilerence of opinion between the Secretary and many bankers in this city regarding the effect of thishe thinking that a higher price will thus be obtained, while thelatter hold that he ciuld do much better to make the loan popu-lar and accept bids in currency for moderate amounts.Our local money market has been easy on call loans at 3@4 per

cent., and on prime commercial paper at 5@6 per cent. Some ofthe brokers in paper report a better demand, in consequence of aslight improvement in the tone of feeling in the dry goods section.

On Thursday, the Bank of England made a reduction of 1 percent, in the minimum discount rate, which now stands at 2 percent.

;the gain in bullion for the week was £394,000, and the

slight feeling of uneasiness which was indicated by the dispatcliesof last week has apparently passed away. The Bank of Francegained 14,-t5'J,000 francs in specie.The last statement of the New York City Clearing-House

banks, issued April 15, showed a decrease of $186,900 in theexcess above their 25 per cent, legal reserve, the whole of suchexcess being $6,851,975, against $7,038,875 the previous week.The following table shows the changes from the previous

week and a comparison with 1875 and 1874!

There are numerous reportsas to parties who are likely to bid on the whole amount of bondsand others who will bid for part of them, and among the namesmentioned are several national banks and several banking houses•with foreign connections.Closing prices of securities in London have been as follows:

Ballroad and TlUcellaneoua Stocks.—The stock markethas continued to show great depression, and on some stocks thelowest prices of the season liave been reached. The weakestspecialties have been the coal-carrying railroad stocks, New Jer-sey Central and Delaware Lackawanna & Western, and the trunklines. Lake Shore and Michigan Central. As to the railroad com-panies interested in the anthracite coal trade, it is evident thatthe long depression in all kinds of manufacturin? business,.assisted by tlie recent mild winter, has so reduced the demandfor coal that even their close combination is not sufficient to keepup receipts. It is al.so well known that these companies, as aclass, have been amonsf the largest borrowers ever since theganic, and their annual interest charge is heavy. On the otherand, they control completely the anthracite coal trade, and it

seems but a question of time when the demand for this coal

must again increase to such an extent as to pay them largeprofits. There are many who think that the last dividend pay-ments by New Jersey Central and Philadelphia & Reading wereextremely ill-advised.

The disagreement among the officers of leading trunk railroads

from Chicago to the East, has been one of the principal causes ofdepression, and as the matter now rests, it is understood that thecombination lately existing is broken ap, and each company is

making its own rates. The responsibility for this break is com-monly charged to Commodore Vanderbilt, but the precise facts

leading to the disagreement are not well known. It does notappear that the " war" applies to the roads running to St. Loais,

391 THE CHRONICLE. [April 22, 18:6.

1)01 recent reports from Chicago stated that the officers of those I

companies had formed a combination among themselves to keep•up rates on business to and from that citjr. Pacific Mail has beenstronger this week, on th« payment of taxes due here, and also apayment of $50,000 to the Panama Railroad. Western Unionremains without any new development in the war waged by theAtlantic Si Pacific Company. Kailroad earnings continue good ;

in the table below we have the reports of ten companies for thesecond week in April, and these, without exception, show anincrease over 1875—they are as follows :

t'he Gold market.—Gold has shown very little animation,though at one time there was some talk about a possible twist inthe market, when the Government sale of bonds takes place nextMonday. On gold loans the rates paid for carrying today were2, li, and 1 per cent, and loans were also made flat. The pav-ment of silver in exchange for fractional currency is hardlyreferred to as having any important influence on the gold market.Customs receipts of the week were $2,111,000,

As to the decrease in receipts, it is said that the freight earningsof 1875 are |189,874 less than those of 1874. Of tbat sum$!31,i>C8 is apportionable to down, or eastward, and $S,30o to up,or westward freight. lu comparison with last year, we havemoved, 47,541 bales cotton, 14,814 barrels flour, 46,!!51 bushelsgrain, and 6,U03 packages oidse., etc., less.

" If to these several quantities we apply a moderate averageof our standard tariff rates, we will have obtained in roundfigures a sum little below §60,000, on account of the deficiencyof east bound businefs, nearly one-half of that deficiency."Again, as to west bound business :

" The tables show an increase of tonnage 4,5S3 tons, and adecrease of earnings of |3,805 73.

" This maintenance of tonnage in the comparison of the West-bonnd business of the two years is due, first, to the fact of anincreased movement of fertilizers, 4,874 tons ; and, second, toa very heavy diversion of western produce from the Green LineBonte to the Route via Biltimore and Charleston, created by thecontest between the Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsylvania Kailroadsduring the year.

"It is gratifying again this year to observe conspicuouslyprominent a feature of our business, which, in our last report,afforded us just ground of encouragement. We refer to the largeproportion of the local to the general business of the Company,is comparison with the through,"

Notwithstanding the increase in coal freights on this road sinceits lessee discontinued coal business on the Central of NewJersey, it appears that after paying interest at 7 per cent, on all

the bonded debt the balance remaining would fall short about$945,000 of paying the 7 per cent, gaarinteed dividend on stock.

ATailable net earnings $197,561

The gross earnings of the year show a decrease from those ofthe previous year of $07,993 27, a result of low rates forcedBpon us by competion,— the volume of business being about the.Bame as last year. The charges to construction account have beenmainly for new machinery in the shops of the company, fireproofvault at Ionia, geneial offices at Detroit, and new water station.The road, including the track and the road-bed, has been kept ingood condition, and, on the whole, improved during the year.The net earuingfs of the road durinjr the past two years have

been insufficient to provide for the half coupon interest proposedin th<> lunding plan dated Dec. 15, 1873, and at the same time dojustice to the property in the interest of its bondholders. At theclose of the last financial year this deficit, with interest, amountedto about $75,000, represented by withheld coupons. The greaterJ)ortion of this amount has since been paid, but as the springreceipts of the road are always light, no available funds are leltapplicable at present (April) to payment of coupon interest due^pril 1, 1876. A notice has been sent to bondholders to thateffect.

As may be seen from this and former reports, basing the netTeceipts of this year upon the depressed state of trade existingduring the past two years, a fair proportion of the interest of theBrst mortgage bonds should be earned (applicable to dividends tothe bondholders) during the year.

GENERAL INVESTMENT NEWS.Albany & Susqnelianna.—The proposed amendments to tha

lease of this road, by the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company, havebeen agreed to by both companies, and the amended lease placedon record. It provides that the capital stock is to be fixed andlimited at $3,500,000, on which the lessee is to pay dividends of7 per cent, annually. The clause of the old lease giving 25,000shares a preference is annulled, and in consideration thereof thelessee, whenever the $1,000,000 Albany city bonds are paid off, isto apply the $70,000, now paid annually into the sinking fund, tothe payment of additional dividends on the stock, making them 9per cent, annually. The Albany & Susquehanna Company is toexecute a first consolidated mortgage for $10,000,000 to the Far-mers' Loan & Trust Company, as trustee, the bonds to bear 6 or 7per cent, interest, as may be deemed best, and to have 30 years torun. Of these new bonds $3,450,000 are to be reserved toexchange for outstanding bonds

; $1,595,000 are to be isaued tothe lessee in exchange for an equal amount of stock now held by-it, which stock is to be surrendered and canceled ; a furtheramount is to be issued to the lessee sufficient to pay for improve-ments heretofore made on the road, and the balance is to beissued as the lessee may require. These new bonds are to beguaranteed, principal and interest, by the lessee, and provision is

made for renewing them when the 30 years shall have expired ;

but the amount of stock and bonds outstanding shall at no timeexceed $18,500,000.—iJatVroad Gazette.

Canada Soatheru.—The attention of British holders of thiscompany's bonds has been called to an application about to bemade to the Dominion Parliament, to authorize the Issue of pre-ferred shares in payment of first mortgage and other bonds andinterest, and a petition has been prepared by these British bond-holders against this application.

Illinois Railroad Tax Cases.—The United States SupremeCourt reversed, last week, the decision of the lower courts in theIllinois railroad ca»es, holding that the railroads' remedy foralleged excessive orillegal taxation is not by injunctions, but onlyby suits at law after paying the taxes. The companies applied tothe lower courts to wholly enjoin the enforced collection of taxeson their lands and other property, for the alleged teasons that insame respects the taxes were illegally levied, and in others thatthe ajseasments were too high. A number of such injuoctionshave been granted in the United States Circuit Court ot Califor-nia, and there are a large number of suits pending in Illinois toenjoin the collection of taxes assessed against lands and otherproperty of railroad companies.

Lonisiana State Finances.—A telegram from New Orleans,

Ii«., April 17, says : The Supreme Court to-day decided the issue

of 12,500.000 of State bonds to the Mobile & Chattanooga Rail-

road under act No. 95, 1871, to be invalid and unconstitutional onthe ground that the constitutional limit of the State debt badbeen reached when the bonds were issued ; that the issue wasfraudulent, and that the State received no consideration therefor.

A statement furnished by the Auditor shows the present condi-

tion of the State debt to be : New conrolidated bonds, iesned in

place of va'id bonds exchanged, $9,035,387; valid outstandinarbonds and warrants, not yet funded, $4,710,000; which, if all

funded in new consols at 60 cents on the dollar, will make thetotal State debt |11.86I,387.

McMichael, of Borden-town, formerly superintendent of the Camden & Amboy andmore recently State Treasurer. The 8dl« of the road will be hadas soon as an inventory is taken, and other necessary prelimin-aries can be arranged. It is said that the principal holders ofbonds are Hon. Asa Packer, president of the Lehigh Valley Coand the Beekm-;n estate; also, the Central of New Jersey andDelaware Lackawanna & Western Railroads.

Tennessee & Pacific.—The joint committee appointed by theWilson and Davidson county courts report that the amountclaimed by the State, and for non-payment of which the road is

to be sold, is $158,803, of which $10,760 is payable in cash and therest in State bonds. These can be bought at 42, making theactual amount needed $72,938 27, and, moreover, $9,000 of theState claim is disputed by the company. The company has onhand aboat $10,350 which can be used. The committee recom-mends that the counties raise the balance needed and prevent thesale; if this cannot be done, then they should buy in the roadwhen it is sold. The latter course will probably be adopted.

Union Paciflc.—A bill has been introduced in Congress to pro-vide a plan for the settlement of the debt due to the Governmentby this company, which is much similar in tenor to the proposi-tion of Mr. Huntington, of the Central Pacific. It provides that thecompany shall sell all its lands, west of the 100th meridian, to theGovernmeat, at the fixed jJrice of $2 50 per acre. The companyis also to pay $1,000,000 in cash and such further sums, fromtime to lime, as shall produce, at the maturity of the bonds, a sumsufficient to pay the entire amount of principal and interestwhich will then be due.

Tirginia State Bonds.—The circular of Messrs. Thoma»Brancli & Co., of Richmond, has the following :

The Legislature has adjourned, and no law in any way affectingthe bonds of the State has been passed, if we except a clause inthe tax-bill subjecting the coupons cut from bonds held by anonresident of the State to the same tax as has heretofore beendeducted from coupons held by residents. This tax amounts toone dollar and seventy cents on each coupon of thirty dollars, orfive and two-fifths per cent.—the coupons being received at 94,60per cent, of their par value in payment of taxes. A portion ofthe coupons from non-resident bonds have heretofore been exemptfrom this tax by being accompanied by evidence of owuersbip;but the proportion of this realized by the bondholder has beeiivery small. The profit was made by the dealers. This has beenstopped by the present law, and the quotation of coupons will inconsequence be uniform in the future. They have been in steadydemand during the spring. They will probably advance on thepayment of May licenses.

The few old bonds coming in for funding would indicate asmaller amount outstanding tiian the records of the Treasury De-partment show. We report the figures as follows

:

Total debt, eiclnding about $15,000,000 West Virginia's $89,301,000

The State is still in debt for money borrowed to meet tempo-rary deficiencies in the revenue ; and the payments to the SinkingFund have been suspended, as also the payments of interest ofJuly, 1874, on the non-consol debt. The tax-bill includes someadditional subjects of taxation, which will make a small increasein the revenue, but it is now certain that no cash payments willbe made during the present year on account of interest, exceptthat the small balance due on July, '74, interest may be paid.We have endeavored to explain in these circulars the variou*

issues of State obligations and their relative value. We givequotations of the best known :

Sterling bods (issued before the war) have no market here.Coupens or registered bonds of the ante-war issue, and those of 1866 and 1867,and coupons of aame, whether detached or not. due 01 or before July, 1671,all stand on the same fooling, aad if no interest has been paid en thein.since Jnly, 71, the aggregate of principal and interest to July. 1871 i»worth.

—The Auditor calls the attention of collectors, to the recent actwhich requires all coupons received in payment of taxes andother dues to the State to be taxed. The tax upon each coupon,will be as follows : On the $20 coupon, $1 70 ; on the $15 cou-pon, 85 cents; and on the $3 coupons, 17 cents.

We§tern Railroad Tariffs.—A Chicago telegram of April-nth stated that a meeting ol the managers of the various rail-roads operating east of St. Louis was held at the Pacific Hotel,that day, to effect a pool arrangement on all business originatingat St. Louis, somewhat similar to the Eastern railroad combina-tions. It was finally arranged to pool the gross earnings on allcompetition business to and from St. L^uis on the basis of theearnings of the various roads for the years 1873, 1874 and 1875.The roads coticerned in the arrangement are the Ohio & Missis-sippi, Chicago & Alton, Toledo & Wabash, Vandalia, and theIndianapolis & St. Louis. An executive board, composed of J. C.McMuUin, of the Chicago & Alton; J. E. Simpson, of the Van-dalia, and E. Waldron, of the Ohio & Mississippi, was electei,.with power to agree upon a tariff to be observed. The newarrangement was to go into effect immediately.

—A Chicago press despatch, April 19, says of the meeting ofmanagers of trunk lines from that city, that on account of thefailure of the pool lines to adjust amicably their difficulties, andowing to the disputes which arose iu the meeting held here lastweek and that held in New York on Tuesday, the pool has broken.Mr. Joy telegraphed the agent for the Michigan Central to day toprotect the road. The agent did so by taking freight at a reduc-tion of 5 cents for fourth class to New York. The other roadsfollowed, and fourth class freight was taken in some cases as lowas 30 cents, a reduction of 10 cents.

Spring (eemn to have opened at last, and trade already receivoB

a coDsiderable impetus by reasoD of the milder weather, Still,

storma and a low temperature are too recent to admit of a full

dovelopment of the eflect that may be expected to follow thechange that h'xa taken place in this respect. The United States

Treasury has be|;un the work of substituting silver coin in place

of fractional currency, which is regarded by many people as along step towards the resumpiiou of specie payments ; and, as

Buch, contributes to the more cheerful feeling which evidentlyprevails.

There has been a declining tendency In most descriptions of

provisions, under the growing conviction that the speculation in

them was at least premature, or from an increase in present orprospective supplies ; but in lard only has the decline been im-portant or the business active, and this staple has recoverediomewhat from the lowest prices. The sales of prime Westernlard on Wednesday and Thursday were reported to the extent of

85,000 tierces, and the lowest prices touched were $13 62^ on thespot, |;13 50 lor May, $13 67^ for June, $13 85 for July and$13 95 for August. The reaction in futures during Thursdaywas fully 15 cente from the above prices. To-day, the sales onthe spot were small at $13 60@13 02*; and for future deliverythe closing bids were $13 50'for May, $13 65 for June, |13 80for July, aud $13 97j for August, showing renewed depression.Mess pork lias sold at $33 75 for June and $33 90 for August,but today sold on the spot at $33 50(333 60, and the closing bidsfor future delivery were. $23 15 for May, $23 40 for June, $32 GOfor July, and $23 75 for August, Bacon and cut meats havebeen quiet. Beef and beef hams are without new feature. Butterbag matBrially declined under increased receipts of new. Cheesehas also been drooping. Tallow has been firmer, and more activeat 9c. for prime.

402 THE CHRONICLR [April 22, 1876.

There has been a growing business in cotton on the spot,

fnvored since Monday by improving rates of exchange and

Wronger foreign advices, which have enabled shippers to operate

more freely. Spinners were in want of stock, and the business

4or ppeculation has latterly been of some significance, yet there

was no approach to activity, and prices have been barely sup-

ported. To-day, there was lees doing for export, but a fair busi-

ness for consumption, and quotations unchanged. For future

delivery, on Monday and Wednesday, a considerable advance in

prices took place. Flood accounts from the lower Mississippi

began to be serious, and were employed with considerable vigor

•to revive speculation. But each advauce was followed on the

succeeding day by some decline, so that the actual improvsment

'np to last night was only 3-33@310c. The greatest advance was

in the early months of the next crop, September and October.

'The comparatively small stocks at present in store, together with

the lateness of the planting season, excite some apprehensions of

scarcity at that time. Accounts of slight frost have been received

Jiom South Carolina, and the temperature was quite low for two

or three days of the past week throughout the South. To day,

there was much pressure to sell, under which the spring andsummer months gave way -ifgS-lGc., but the autumn monthswere only l-16c. lower.

The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 135,400

bales, including — free on board. For immediate delivery the

total sales foot up this week 5,109 bales, including 1,2G0 for ex-

port, 2,S30 for consumption, 1,079 for speculation, and in

transit. Of the above, 400 bales were to arrive. The following

were the closing quotations to day

BRE ADSTUPFS.Fkidat. p. M., April 21, 1876

The market in flour has been active the past week, and prices

have had a downward tendency. Yet, no considerable decline

can be quoted. At a slight concession, shipping extras werereadily placed. The most conspicuous weakness has been in

medium Western extras, some of wbich have been closed out at

prices of shipping brands. The choice high grades continue in

but limited supply, and have ruled firm. There is, however, nodisposition on the part of any class of buyers to purchase beyondimmediate wants. Receipts have everywhere been light, andproduction appears to be small, but there is a disposition to

realize. Kye flour and corn meal have ruled rather easier. To-day, the market was dull and heavy.

The wheat market opened the week with a considerable showof firmness, owing to the warlike rumors from Europe, the lowerocean freights, and the bad weather in England ani in the north-western section of the United States. But belligerent reports

died out, the weather improved, and ocean freights began to

advance; holders, at the same time, began to show increased

anxiety to eflfect a reduction of supplies, by realizing on lots in

store, current receipts became more liberal, and a marked reduc-tion in railway freights threatened to precipitate large quantities

upon our market from the West in advance of the re-opening of

inland navigation. The better grades of reds began, conse-quently, to decline, but the lower grades of reds, with the stockreduced by recent free sales, brought full prices. To day, tbemarket was dull, with a partial decline in prices.

Indian corn has been in rather better supply on the spot, andprices have given way, under a disposition to take advantage of theBituation, and close out lots in store. For future delivery there

has been more steadiness, with sales of prime mixed at 68c. for

April and Goc. for Mar, but latterly bare giren way a iractloa

under the great reduction that has been made in rail freight»

from the West. To-day, the market was unsettled on the spot,,

and mixed sold at QT^c.for April and 64c. for May.Rye has been lers active, and, with the falling off In the de>

mand, prices hare not been fully maintained. Canada peas hare

-

been sold for arriral in May at f1 02, in bond. Barley and bar-

ley malt have been more steady, but quiet.

Oats have been moderately active, with prices showing a gllglit •

upward tendency, especially for choica qualities of State. To-day, Western were lower and more active. The Erie Canal will,.

it is of&cially announced, be re-opened for navigation on tbe 4thi<

of May.

THE DRY aOODS TRADE.FatDAY, p. M.. April 81. 1876.

Uaaufacturera' agents representing domestic cotton and woolen

'pTodnctioDS have experienced a oetter demand for package lots Of

goods required for keeping up assortments, and in volume the

trade of the past week has been fairly satisfactory for the time of

year. Business has been dull with importers, and there has been

continued pressure on their part to force sales through the me-

diam of the auction rooms, where unprofitable prices have been

Tealized. The jobbing trade in both domestic and foreign e;oods

bas been fairly active, owing to a large influx of near-by retailers,

who have commenced the purchase of spring and summer goods.

Witn the exception of prints, which have continued in a demor-

-alized condition, the market has been steady, and jobbers'

quotations have eltown more uniformity than of late, while

agents' prices hr.ve remained unchanged. Messrs. Dexter &Brother, Pawtucket, R. I., the moat extensive manufacturers of

> cotton and knitting yarns in this country, have failed, with lia-

<<bilitie8 of about $400,000 and nominal assets of $300,001 ; and a

jobbing and retail dry goods house, doing business in Charleston,

8. C, and having branches at Atlanta, Ga., and Jacksonville,

VI*., has suspended payment.

Domestic Cotto.>i Goods.—The export trade in cotton goods

has shown further Improvement, and the week's shipments

reached 4,470 packages, of which Great Britain took 1,737

'China 1,210, and Africa 1,054 packages, the remainder hav-

Ang been taken in smaller lots by other countries. As above

':8taled,the print market continued unsettled, and a further reduc-

tion of ic. was made on the following makes: Manchester,

Hamilton, American, Dunuell's, Garner's, Washington, and

Allen's fancies; and Merrimack, Knickerbocker and Garnet's' Bhirtings were reduced ^c. Mourning prints were also marked-down ic, and the Pacific Mills percales, jacconets and organdies

*dec1iDed from 2c. to 4c. per yard. Print cloths were taken morefreely by printers and speculators, but showed no improvement in

]»ice, closing at 3Jc., cash(aiO days, for extra standard G4i. Four-^jrard and light-brown sheetings were fairly active and steady in

inice, but fine browns and heavy standard makes ruled quiet.

Kae and medium fine bleached shirtings continued in good-daBand,aDd the most prominent makes are sold up to receipts bymgemta. Drills were in steady request for export, but the home^enud was light. Cheviots were more freely taken by the

Western trade, whose operations in dyed ducks were more liberal.

Gottooades moved nlowly, and there was a mere hand-to-mouthiaqoiry for tickings, denims, stripes, checks and plaid osnaburgs.

•• Goiaet jeans and satteens were in fair request, and rolled j acconets

-weie taken in small parcels. Cotton dress goods continued"BtegKish, and, being in over-supply, some makes were closed out byagents at a Urge concession from former holding rates, althoughtbe best fabrics were fairly steady.

Domestic Woolen Goods.—There has been a slight improve-'"»*in *!>« demand for men's-wear woolens, and, while sales

IttTc mostly been effected in small amounts, the transactions of" tba week have reached a fair aggregate amount. Prices, how-"^ erev, are very unsatisfactory, and many fabrics are selling at a•po^J'i"* Joes to manufacturers. Business has been more active

mith doth jobbers than with agents, and the retail clothing trade

"bi* been better thitn at any time since the outset of the season.

Cassimeres, trouserings and suitings of spring weights have been

distributed in moderate amounts by agents and jibbers, and

choice styles of worsted coatings have received more attention.

Imitation worsted coatings have ruled quiet, and prices are almost

nominal. Overcoatings have been sluggish, although some fair

deliveries were made ia execution of orders placed with agents

some time ago. Cloths and doeskins continued in limited re-

quest, but are more steady in price than go.)ds of a fancy charac-

ter. Satinets were quiet, although a few sales of low qualities

were made for printing purposes. Kentucky jeans moved slowly,

and there was not much inquiry for flannels. Worsted dreaa

fabrics were distributed to a considerable aggregate amount, biit

shawls were dull and barely steady.

Foreign Dry Goods.—Buslnesahas been dull with importera,

but increased activity has been apparent in the jobbing trad

The auction rooms distributed very large quintities of silks tn

dress goods of the importation of such prominent houses as

Messrs. Passavant & Co., Benkard & Hutton, and C. A. Auffmordt

& Co., and this checked sales of such fabrics from first hands, as

both j jbbers and retailers were enabled to re-£ssort their stocks

oa favorable term^ without having recourse to importers. Rib-

bons and some descriptions of milliner? silks were in fair demand.

Housekeeping linens were ia steady request, and dress linens,

handkerchiefs, aud white goods were fairly active in jobbers'

hands. Woolen goods continued slujjgish in first hands, but

English and Scotch suitings were disposed of by jobbers in foir

amounts. Canton mattings were in good demand, and new fancy

styles are in comparatively light supply. There was about the

usual movement in hosiery aud kid gloves, and no prioe changes

were reported.

We annex prices of a few articles of domestic manufacture
