Of the new periodical publications which make
thetr appearance with the new
year, the most im¬
portant we have seen is THE AMERICAN ATHE¬
NAEUM, a very handsomely printed sixteen page
sheet, to be Issued weekly, and “devoted.” as its
sub-title reads, “ to the Progressive and
^Esthetic
Sciences and to the Individual Culture and the Ad¬
vancement of the Human Race.” *

q here Is
much about the newcomer which gives
promise of an
able and valuable accession to first-class
weekly jour¬
nalism.

FROM

THE

NEW

YORK TRIBUNE.

THE AMERICAN ATHENaEUM, a new
weekly
journal devoUd to the “Progressive and AEsthetic
Sciences,” has reached its fifth number, and more
than makes good the promise of its commencement.

THE SPASM IN THE MONEY MARKET.

week has been one of unusual excitement in
monetary circles. One of the most important aspects of the
fight between the chief stockholders of the Erie Railroad on
the one side and its Treasurer, on the other, is the relation
the contest bears to the movements of the loan market.

Elsewhere

other features of this

stupendous
duel, which, in the magnitude of the sums at stake,
in the great
principles of law and policy involved, and in its
bearing on commercial honor, fiducial morality, and the secu¬
rity of owners of corporate property everywhere, has not its
parallel in the annals of this country. It forcibly recalls
some of the railroad scandals which in
England have chiefly

and trade with the vast losses thus inflicted

on

the

people. We purpose in this place, however, to view the
Erie fight on its financial side, and to discuss it simply as a
disturbing force on the money market.
On Wednesday last it became evident that some artificial
expedients w^ere at work to embarrass our city banks, and to
produce a scare among the brokers and other borrowers ot
money. The evening papers published a letter which stemfd




locking up greenbacks,” with a view
tight, in order to help stock gambling
operations. These points are not generally understood, and
we mean to discuss them when the Erie report is laid before
the Senate at Albany. Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about this artificial stringency on Wednesday was its sudden
disappearance. Formerly such spasms have lasted several
days, and have usually in their results been widely prejudical
to general business.
That the same mischievous effects have
not followed now, is partly due to the publicity with which
the manoeuvre was exposed by the press, but chiefly to the
firm, enlightened probity of the bank authorities, who have
earned the thanks of the community by their prompt sup¬
pression of the attempt to make them parties to an act
whose lawfulness is doubtful, and whose honesty is beyond
question. Mr. Dickinson, the lately elected president of the
bank, deserves, we repeat, the warm approval of the busi¬
ness community, and his
example should be followed by
every bank president whom unscrupulous men may hereafter
try to impose upon in the same way.
.We must not omit to notice the vast amounts of capital
which, as is evident from admitted facts, are now a-days
wielded by the speculators.

his

allegations current regarding them. But if they be
proved, we have here a single individual receiving in a
single week no less than five millions of trust money, and
holding it at his personal control. What might not one man
do at a critical moment with this power to draw down sud¬
denly by several millions the legal reserve of a leading bank,
and how important it is to the stability of our banks that
they should unite and take strong ground against all similar
abuses !
That such union is needed is shown by the fact
that an active broker is reported to have coolly proposed to
a bank president, not a week ago, to aid
him in locking up
suddenly ten millions of greenbacks. When vast masses of
capital are thus liable to be used in perturbing the financial
mechanism of the country, nothing but a united policy and a
bold front will save our banks from the powerful strategy
which menaces them at their most vulnerable point.
But how, it has been asked, can 5 or 7 millions, or even
ten millions, do so much harm to the money market how¬
ever
suddenly withdrawn from banks whose aggregate
deposits are 208 millions ? The answer is that the drain we
have been speaking of is not on the deposits, but on the
legal tenders, whose aggregate is only 58 millions, while
every sound bank is nervously anxious to keep up its legal
aggregate of 25 per cent. Moreover, the speculators usually
select one or two leading banks and concentrate the drain
upon these, knowing that if they can produce a fright in any
one
spot it will soon spread throughout the whole, multiply¬
ing and exaggerating itself as it diffuses itself vaguely around.

assigned for these extraordinary
proceedings. It is urged that the company lacked funds for
the. payment of the March interest upon its 2d and 3d mort¬
gage bonds and its sterling convertible bonds, amounting to
about 8500,000, and that this had to be provided for by a
temporary loan from the Treasurer. This very discouraging
condition of the finances was surely to be regarded as a most
conclusive reason why the company should not incur any
unnecessary obligations.
The road has to pay about
$2,000,000 per annum interest upon its present funded and
floating debt, and falls short of one-half the amount require'?

the company engages to pay, while the remainder it guarant¬

Such management appears to us the direct road to*
bankruptcy. The committee give as the principal reason for
the issue of the $10,000,000 of convertible bonds, that the
road needs storehouses and an elevator at the Long Dock, as
depot of the Hudson River Road in St. John’s
Park, the estimated cost of which is £1,300,000 ; that the
road needs 17,000 tons of iron rails and 8,000 tons of steel
rails, costing $2,435,000; that the Delaware Division re¬
quires to be double tracked at a cost of $2,790,000, and that
the rolling stock equipment needs an addition of 50 loco¬
motives, 500 cars and 300 coal dumps, costing together
$1,357,500; other items of expenditure are also specified,
carrying up the total outlay to $8,757,000. A considerable
portion of this proposed outlay comes under the head of
repairs and the replacement of worn out equipments; which?

This may be shrewd strategy; but what is it in respect to desire to place the life insurance interest under the control

The company’s charter does not fix the seven names more or less known in insurance circles, pro¬

The 9th section of the General posing an application to Congress for the creation of a
Railroad Act of April 2, 1850, provides that “ in case the National Bureau of Life Insurance, and virtually placing that

The 28th section of the act above quoted,
authorizes companies “ to borrow such sums of money

the law, with singular inconsistency, first denies to Director
the power to make a direct increase of stock
except with the*
acquiescence of two-thirds in interest of the stockholders
and then empowers them by
an indirect method to increase
the stock' to any amount they may
please. This is a very
grave defect in the law; and its effect would seem to be to
leave the Erie direction free to make any
further issues of
stock they may deem necessary for election or other
purpo¬
ses.
The late issues of new stock, however, are manifestly
in opposition to the
spirit of the law. The bonds were

As the law

now

stands the stockholders—the real

proprietors—have to entrust their property to the control of
agents with almost unlimited powers. The directors hold
office for one year, and during that period have unrestricted
power to manage affairs so as to produce extreme fluctua¬
tions in the price of the shares for speculative operations,
in which the chances are all in their
favor; and as such fluc¬
tuations are more easily produced by bad and reckless
management than by a conservative administration of affairs
t here is the
strongest possible temptation to take that course.
That directors are not above such temptations, we have but
too plain evidence in the
history, past and present, of the
Erie Company. It is notorious that within the last few years
some of those in control of that
company have made millions
ot dollars by this maladministration of trusts; and that all
this has been done at the expense of the company is patent
from the fact that one of the finest railroad properties in the
country has gradually descended to the verge of bankruptcy,

We have in this State, and the

might be said of other States, good insurance laws,
vigorous executive department for enforcing their
observance.
Our companies are required to make annually
a full
and explicit statement of their affairs, enabling the
public to judge accurately of their condition. The Superin¬
tendent of Insurance performs the functions of police for
enforcing a strict observance of the law, and at his instance
the affairs of any insolvent company may be wound up, or
any course of management tending toward insolvency may¬
be promptly cheeked.
In the event of any modification of
insurance law being required, the legislature is easily reached,
and the changes are made with a primary regard to interests
within the State, and without any sacrifice to interests cen¬
tering iu other.vsections. What more can insurance com¬
panies desire? What beyond this can be asked by the
insured ? All'needful regulation can be provided by the

It is, indeed, inconceivable upon what grounds the New

placed under

Congressional control. lA very large proportion of the
insurance business of the country is done by companies
organized under the laws of this State ; and to place our
companies under the regulation of Congress would be to
subject a vast interest, the capital of which belongs to this
city, under virtually foreign control. It has long been a
matter of complaint by the insurance interest of New York
that other States legislate in a way intended to discriminate

Chicago and Alton stock then
and St. Louis stock were made
from time to time as opportunity offered, but the entire 6tock
had not been acquired until the close of the year 1867.
In the
meantime, the stock of that company and the fund set apart for its
purchase, have appeared in the income account as part of assets on
hand. The object having now been accomplished, the cost of that
road is charged as paid out of lhat account.
The increased amount of earnings from freight traffic is mainly
due to the accession of business from the St. Louis, Jacksonville
and Chicago road since its connection with this line at Blooming¬
ton, on the 23d of September last.
Although the two lines were
connected at that date, the remaining three moDtns of the year were
occupied by the St. Louis, Jacksonville and Chicago company in
constructing sidings an i station buildings, and in procuring rolling
stock necessary for the transaction of its business. The amount of
traffic contributed to this line was, therefore, much less than it
would have been had that company been fully prepared for business
when the connection was made. The amount of earnings on joint
business with that line, received mainly during the last three months
of the year, was, exclusive of the 10 per cent bonus paid to them as
per contracts dated January 25th, 1864, a3 follows : on passenger
traffic $40,950 08, on freight traffic $214,514 (’5, making an aggre¬

traffic are less, the number of passengers carried exceeds that of
the preceding year by 14,674 : the number in 1866 being 516,543,
and in 1867 531,217, the increase being in local traffic.
The increased tonnage of freight in 1867 over 1866 is equal to
nearly 18 per cent. The proportion between through and local

in the Union Stock Depot

per cent, per annum, besides incidental advantages of much greater
importance in promoting traffic in the transportation oflivestock.
On the 14th of February the bridge over the Kankakee river—
550 feet in length—was destroyed by a freshet. It was found to be
impossible to construct a temporary bridge for the passage of trains
earlier than the 8th of March—during the time when the railway
was thus practically severed the company suffered a loss in busiuess
which has been estimated at $150,000 ; the bridge has siuce been
replaced by a durable iron structure.
On the night of November 1st, the main mat hine and car shops
of the company, located at Bloomington, were destroyed by firet
involving a loss estimated at $124,634 59, of which $97,000 was
covered by insurance.

The first annual

report of the Commissioner of Railroads of the
just been published, containing statistics of the
condition of the railroads of that State on the 30th June, 1867, and
of their operations for the year ending at that date.
The office of Commissioner was created by an act of the Ohio
Legislature passed on the fifth of April, 1867, and in pursuance of
the provisions of that act this report is made to the Governor. The
Legislature of Ohio has thu9 followed the example of New York,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut and other Stales in
requiring by law an annual'statement, under the oath of an officer,
of the condition and operations of the several railroad companies
within her borders. The wisdom of the legislation requiring such
reports can hardly be questioned, when we consider how immense
are the interests controlled
by these great corporations, and how
important an influence they have in developing the material pros¬
perity of the State. In one respect the laws of most of the States
might be amended to advantage, namely, in requiring more detailed

and I only mention it as having obtained currency here. The fact,
however, of an inciease in the production of cotton in India, in the face
of a depressed cotton market here during the latter part of 1867, de¬
serves the most serious consideration in the United States.
According to the Board of Trade retur ns, which have at length been
published for last year, our total imports of cotton into the United
Kingdom in 1867 amounted to 11,272,651 cwt., against 12,295,808 cwt
in 1866, and 8,781,949 cwt. in 1865.

on the trade of the West Riding of Yorkshire.
The iron trade remains
in an unsatisfactory state, and failures continue to take place in that
department of business.
The public sales of colonial wool were commenced on Thursday even¬
ing, and will be continued throughout March. The arrivals, since the
close of last sales, owing to the lateness of the season in Australia, are
lass than last y-ear, but only to the extent of about 10,000 bales. The
total supply to be brought forward during the present series of sales is
about 115,000 bales. For some weeks past there have been symptoms
of reviving animation in the wool trade, ana it was generally believed
that prices would rule higher. The anticipations formed were, how¬
ever, more than realised ; the attendance of buyers, both home and for¬
eign, having been unusually large, while the biddings have been very
of late,

spirited. Our own manufacturers have

quiet, but no change of importance has
place in prices since the close of last week, millers having lately
made extensive purchases in produce recently arrived off the ccast, and
heoce have purchased only to a limited extent during the week ; but
as the proportion of good and fine dry wheat to the whole supply
brought forward is small, all such qualities command full prices. Our
-imports for the time of year are considerable, and there is still a good
supply of produce afloat from various ports. The young wheats look
well and promising. The winter, from which we are just emerging,
has been comparatively mild, and the period for Autumn sowing was
considerably encouraging. High prices induced farmers to grow n ore
wheat than usual. At the presentjtime the weather is unusually fine?
and farmers have had a splendid opportunity for sowing their Spring
crops. The whole season bids, so far, to produce a satisfactory result.
The following figures show the extent of our imports and exports
wheat and flour since the commencement of the season :

in the value of cotton, of
large orders which have
been sent out to the East, the Indian exchanges have rapidly advanced
of late. At one period it was thought that silver would be received
from the East, but the advance in cotton has not only checked any
movement of that kind, but has, on the other hand, led to indications
that silver will more probably be transmitted to Bombay. The advance
in the exchange at Bombay on Loidon is equal to about eight per cent.,
document bills having been sold at 2s. the rupee.
As yet, however,
the silver market has not been affected. -The demand is almost entirely
confined to the Continent, and prices are unchanged.
Gold is in moderate demand for the Continent, but the inquries are

£150,000 has been withdrawn from the bank in sovereigns, this week,
for transmission to Alexandria to pay, it is believed, for cotton. A
telegram was received in London yesterday, 'fated Milbourne, February
6, stating that the month’s shipments of gold had been only 23,250
ounces.
A much larger amount was expected, and as it is well known
that tho telegram is incorrect, it is believe i that the actual export was
203,250 ounces, or about £813,000. * The prices of bullion are subjoined :

In this table, as well as in our

from the receipts ai each port lor the week all received at such
port from other
Southern ports. For instance, each week there is a certain amount
shipped
from Flor da to Savannah, which in
estimating the total receipts must be de¬
ducted as the same shipment appears in the Florida return. We are thus
par¬
ticular in the statement of this fact as gome oi our readers fail to understand it.

weather, there is a probability of seeing the supply surpass
the demand if the present inactivity should continue much

they claim that stocks will fall

they
even submit to a concession, it would be more
likely to inten¬
