As water poured into a pipe of wine impairs every drop of the liquor, so our superfluous is¬ sues of currency reach every part of the current of the circu¬ lation, and diffuse a taint through the whole. The currency What follows when the currency First, prices begin to rise. But the rise is not seen every where in equal degrees, or at the same time. Objects of the greatest mobil¬ ity float soonest in a freshet; and under the influence of a flood of redundant paper money the most sensitive objects start first. Wholesale prices are apt to rise before retail prices and in undue proportion thereto. The prices of foreign goods rise before domestic goods, because the perturbation of the currency reflects itself in the foreign exchanges. Usually, however, gold starts up first of all ; then stocks and negotiable securities then com¬ modities ; according to their various degrees of mobility; and last of all real estate. This has been our experience during the inflation period, extending over the last four years, it has been the experience of every country that has been cursed with a depreciated redundant paper money. Another consequence of the depreciation of the currency is an increasing “ ease in money.” This is the popular way of saying that loanable capital is plentiful, that the owners of that capital are willing to lend it on low interest, and that borrowers, consequently, can get accomodation on easy terms. This state of things is only temporary, but it serves while it lasts to aggravate the evils of speculation. Now let us reverse the picture. After expansion let sud. den and severe contraction come. Prices fall; money grows tight, capitalists being timid and unwilling to lend; needy people are in difficulties; those who have been trading be¬ yond their means are leT high and dry like fish that have ventured too far out at flood tide ; is diluted : business is stagnant; com¬ mercial and industrial enterprise are paralysed. If the con¬ traction be very sudden and very severe a panic ensues and the violent rebound of such a financial revulsion is usually disastrous in proportion to the extent of the antecedent in¬ flation. It is true that contraction of the currency can be made without these evils. We have proved this. For the first history of finance, an inflated currency has been reduced without producing confusion in the money market or distress among the mercantile interests. The work was accomplished by means of the compound interest notes which will hereafter be looked upon and cited in history as the most ingenious, gentle, skilful, and effective machinery that time in the the wit of contrived for the purpose. These com¬ pound notes have now almost ceased to do duty as active currency. As there are 174 millions of them out, the vol¬ ume of the circulating medium has been reduced to that ex¬ tent. But so gentle was the process that general prices fell gradually, and almost imperceptibly to the masses of the people, and so equally was the resulting pressure on the .money market diffused and distributed, that public confidence was rather benefited than injured, as is evident from the fact that during the very time while it was going on, we ne¬ gotiated heavier government loans than were ever made in the same period of time by any country in the world. In the twelve months ending 30th June, 1865, the receipts of the Treasury for loans were no less than $1,475,579,740, which is a greater sum than the entire floating debt which ever some of our man financial men are so with in the next three years [March 81,1888.

From what has been said, it is evident that contraction of the currency may be clumsily done> except it is done with pub¬ licity, so that the whole nation, w hose property the currency is, and who have daily to use it for the most important ope¬ rations of their daily life, may know exactly day by day what is doing with it; and what changes, if any, it is receiv¬ ing.

It enables its possessor to touch every man’s livelihood, to shrink every income or accumulated store of wealth, and to change the terms of existing con¬ be well done or it may and that it cannot be well done tracts. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND THE FUNDING BILL. It is probable that toward the close of next week, or per¬ haps earlier, the Finance Committee will report to the Senate the Funding Bill, which passed the House a week ago. This measure is not regarded with much solicitude in financial cir¬ cles, as it makes but little change in the conditions under which the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to sell bonds and fund outstanding obligations, by the existing acts of Congress. There is one clause, however, that is highly ap¬ proved, that namely, which recognizes the principle of pub licity, and requires that all the particulars shall be communi. cated relative to negotiations of Government securities. The truth is however, that as Congress will meet again within eight months, while none of the floating debts of the Treasury will mature for sixteen months, except such as can easily be provided for the opinion is gaining ground that the best way of managing the finances will be to leave the floating debt to take care of itself until Congress meets again. By that time the country will have had time to take breath upon the prodigious exertions of the war, and we shall be able to negotiate war bonds to much better advantage than now. There is much plausibility about this view of the case. sanguine fellow-citizens seem to believe with The London Times that our public debt presents one of the most desperate of financial problems. The latest quotations of our five-twenty bonds at the Lon don Stock Exchange show, however, that this opinion is not believed by the shrewd, careful, discerning capitalists of Great Britain, and we must confess that we do not believe it ourselves. On the contrary, we maintain that there is finan¬ cial strength enough in this country to find the whole of our 1,200,000,000 of short date obligations within a single year, should any pressing national emergency urge such a course upon us. Nay more, we think that no one who witnessed the immense financial exertions which this country made during the closing year of the war can doubt that we can take all these bonds at home without applying in any foreign mar¬ ket for a single dollar. If, as we suppose, these conclusions are founded on an in¬ expugnable basis of undoubted facts, we need give ourselves no trouble about obligations,that will not mature for two or three years. The credit of the Government is so rapidly improving, and the business of the country, both North and South, will so vigorously recover from the derangements in¬ cident to the troubles of the past four years, that it4s of the highest national importance that we delay for the present all further attempts to anticipate the payment of our short obli¬ gations, and cortent ourselves with providing for them as they fall due. There will be this advantage in our deciding positively on this course, that an immediate improvement may be expect¬ ed in the selling price of our bonds. It is well known that the quotations, both in our own and in foreign markets, are in part governed by the probability of further issues being thrown upon the market. Once let it be known th&t no more Some of our less March SI, 186S.] THE CHRONICLE. ' ' long gold-bearing bonds whatever will, under any circum¬ stances, be issued for a year to come, and we should not be surprised if the price in London went up to 80 within a short time, or perhaps higher still. And surely it is better if foreigners are to get our six per cent Government securities at all that they should pay 80 or 90 for them than that they them for 65 Moreover, if things 70: are favorable and our national af¬ fairs progress as satisfactorily as we fervently hope and pray that they may, the credit of the Government will receive such an impulse that we may in a year’s time be able perhaps to negotiate a five per cent bond at as good a price as we could get for our six per cents to day. In other words, we believe that our long five per cents will sell at par before the lapse of a very long period, aud our six per should get 110 exclusive of interest. : The further advantage is offered • so as by the policy we have to 387 ' ; ,VLT -I ■ for himself secure — more , —— -i——~ than his fair share of the profits of production, he thereby tempts new capital into the business thus rendered extra remunerative, and the conse¬ quent new demand for labor at o^ce elevates wages to a just standard.

At the same time a long latent desire for the reduction of the term of labor has now developed into* an organized agitation for the general adoption of eight hours as the limit of a day’s work; which amounts to a material advance in the rate of reducing their production, which, by causing a scarcity of products, would enable them to realise a paying price for their goods. This course would throw a portion of the laborers out of employment, and by increasing the compe¬ tition for work would effectually reduce wages, enabling manufacturers to resume full work and to make a profit upon their operations. It is thus clearly the part of wisdom for the operatives to submit to a result rendered inevitable by the situation of affairs. Paradoxical it may seem it is nevertheless true that the greatly benefited by a fall in then, on the one hand, producers under an im¬ wages.

The following is a copy of the law to which we have referred in the foregoing remarks: Total railroad debt $24,231,000 An Act for the Consolidation of the State Railroad Debt, to provide for -It thus appears that all the companies except the North Missouri the Gradual Payment of the Interest thereon} and the Funding and received the full amount authorized. This company failed to pay inte¬ the Redemption of the same. ' rest before the total amount was drawn, and consequently further loans Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State qf Missouri, as follows: were withheld by the State. During the late war Missouri suffered largely, not only truction of its railroads but also from the consequent from the des¬ suspension of industrial pursuits. Under such circumstances it was impossible that the companies could pay the coupons falling due semi-annually, and indeed no interest has been paid on the railroad debt since January, 1861, except by the Hannibal and St. Joseph Company which has paid promptly. On the re-organization of the State, one of the first acts of the Con¬ vention was to restore the public credit which the calamities of war had so seriously involved. To this end an ordinance was passed April 8,1865, (by a subsequent vote of the people made a part of the funda¬ mental law of the State), which provided for the collection of a tax of one-fourth of one per centum on all real estate and other property, and its application to the payment of the debt and accrued interest. This ordinance indicates the policy to which the State has pledged itself. The funding set recently passed by the Legislature (a copy of which is appended), arranges the terms on which the debt is to be liquidated. We refer to this law for the details. Its chief provision is the funding of the principal of the whole debt and the interest that has accrued, and Sec 1. To provide for the funding of the principal and interest now dne and unpaid, and interest accruing up to Jan. 1, 1868, of the railroad indebtedness of the State of Missouri, the Governor is hereby directed to cause to be issued “Con¬ solidation bonds” of the State of Missouri in sums of $1,000 each, to be dated on : the 1st day of January, 1868, and payable 30 years thereafter,with coupons attached for the interest thereon, payable semi-annually, as follows, to wit: at the rate of : three per centum per annum for the first four years, at the rate of four per centum per annum for the next four years, at the rate of five per centum per annum for the next six years, at the rate of seven per centum per annum for the next four years, at the rate of eight per centum per annum for the next four years, and at the rate of nine per centum per annum for the last four years. The principal and interest coupons shall be payable at the Bank of Commerce in the City of New York, or such other bank as the General Assembly shall hereafter designate. The total amount of the consolidation bonds, bo to be is¬ sued, shall not exceed $8<>,000,000. The said bonds shall be signed by the Governor, countersigned and sealed • with the seal of the State by the Secretary of State, and shall be registered in the office of the State Auditor and Secretary of State, and the faith and credit of the State are hereby pledged for the payment of the interest and the redemption of the principal thereof. Sec. 2. The said bonds shall be issue l for the single object of consolidating the present railroad indebtedness of the State, and shall be used only in exchange ;t lor the bonds heretofore issued by the State, as well.as those guaranteed by the State in aid of certain companies, as follows: for the seven thousand bonds in * aid of the Pacific Kailroad Company; for the four thousand five hundred bonds in aid of the Pacific Railroad Company, for the southwest branch thereof ; for the four thousand three hundred and fifty bondB in aid of the North Missouri Railroad Company; for the three thousand five hundred add one bonds in aid of . the St. Louis and Iron Mountain Railroad Company; for the six hundred and fifty bonds in aid of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad Company: for the seven hun¬ dred bonds in aid of the Platte Country Railroad Company, and for the interest all of said bonds, as aforesaid; and also in exchange for the revenue bonds' now outstanding and unpaid, together with interest thereon. on # March 31, THE CHRONICLE. 1866.J Shc. 3. The holders of the bonds aforesaid shall, at any time after the passage of this act, have the privilege of exchanging said bonds and the unpaid coupons thereof and those maturing up to and including Jan. 1,1868, for a like amount in consolidation bonds in the manner following: the bonds to be exchanged for consolidation bonds shall be surrendered to the State Auditor, who shall cancel said bonds and coupons, and indorse each cancelled bonds with the words “exchan^ for consolidation bonds,” which indorsement shall be attested by the Secretary of State, and the State Auditor shall preserve and hold said cancelled bonds and coupons as evidence of the amount for which the State has a lien on the respective roads in aid of which they have been issued. The State Auditor of the bonds of said bonds and interest shall deliver, in lieu amount Jan. 1 1868. so cancelled, consolidation bonds to the full coup >ns unpaid up to and including those of provided that, for any balance less than $1,000, the State Auditor in exchange certificates of indebtedness which shall be convertible into consolidation bonds whenever presented in sums of not less than $1,000. These certificates of indebtedness shall be signed and sealed by the Secretary of State, and countersigned by the State Auditor, who shall keep an accurate reg¬ ister of all the bonds and certificates of indebtedness cancelled, and of all con¬ solidation bonds, as well as certificates countersigned by him and delivered in •hall give exchange. 8bo. 4. To provide for the certain and prompt payment of the semi-annual in¬ terest of these consolidation bonds, a tax of one-quarter of one per centum on all real estate and other property and effects subject to taxation, is hereby levied, and shall be assessed and collected for the year A. D. 1868, and every year thereafter; and shall be sacredly applied towards the payment of said interest and any surplus remaining shall go into a sinking fund, which is hereby created, for the payment of the principal; and said sinking fund shall be oonpons; invested in the consolidation bonds of the State of Missouri, but shall not be diverted or applied to any other purpose.

Somewhat unexpectedly the Directors of the Bank of England re¬ duced their minimum rate of discount on Thursday to six per ceut,*and a similar decline has taken place in the rate of interest in the open mar¬ ket. The fall, therefore, since the commencement of the year amounts cent, and the present ]£osition of the Bank undoubtedly justi¬ action on the part of the 1 irectors. The high rats for accom¬ to two per modation at the close of last and at the opening of the present year has operated effectively in checking the expansion of trade; hence, the de¬ mand for di-count during the last few weeks for commercial purposes steadily and materially declined. In addition to the falling off in trade, the demand for leans to foreign countries, as well as on account of new companies in this country, has been very limited. The heavy has discount at which the shares of several of the financial undertakings brought forward during the last two or three years are quoted, has bad the effect of materially checking the introduction of fresh companies of a similar nature; consequently, in this department—a department, in¬ deed, which has been one great cause of the fluctuations io and high rate of interest since the period when the Limited Liability Bill passed* the two Houses of Parliament—there has been very little absorption of so that an important amount of pressure has been withdrawn capital, from the money market. Besides all this, the falling off in the amount of exports to the East and other quarters since the 1st of January, has enabled the Bank to considerably improve its position, and the present state of its resources is sufficiently favorable to admit even of a five per cent rate. The Directors, effect of the however, will, no doubt, wait to observe the present reduction on the various markets before making any further change.

The introduction is a brief but interesting resume of Eng¬ lish history from the Crusades to the death of Richard II., the last prince of the direct hereditary line of the Plantagenets. The history of the growth of that sublime mythos, the Euglish Constitution, is admirably detailed. It was in the reign of Richard that Wickliff translated the Bible, and promulgated the doctrines which half the English people em¬ braced, and were afterwards asserted by the iron-hearted Puritans of England. John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, defended Wick¬ liffe, while the House of Commons was largely constituted of his disciples. It is not hard to perceive why the descendants of John, having usurped the English crown, should be extraordinarily zealous to purge their skirts of the suspicion* of heresy, by cruel persecu¬ tions of the very religionists whom their great progenitor favored and protected. Mr. Towle devotes his first chapter to Jonn of Gaunt, whom he denominates “ Quixote in the right place with a royal coronet upon his head.” He had tbe power, and will, and the opportunity to be a hero. The first part of his life was consecrated to war, the latter The part to wisdom.

On the morning after the nuptials he re¬ sumed the corselet, for France had been half reconquered. This was the queen whose subsequent marriage with Owain Tudor was the foundation of a new royal family. At her instance James I, of Scotland, was delivered from captivity, and married to Johanna Beaufort, the niece of the English king. Again, the exigencies of war summoned the chivalric Henry to France, and he lelt Eugland for the last time, charging his queen not to give birth to her child in Windsor Castle. An astrologer had told him that the prince born there would lose the heritage of the House of Lancaster. Katharine disobeyed him ; and the hope¬ less Henry YI. first saw light in that fatal place. She then joined her husband, now suffering from wasted disease. In August, 1422, he died at Yincennes, in the flower of his years.

The presented is this : The plaintiffs in error are stockholders in the First Na¬ tional Bank in the City of Albany, and the defendants constitute the Board of Assessors of taxes in the same city. The whole of the capital stock of the bank consisted of stocks and bonds issued by the United States under various acts of Congress; and it was insisted before the Board that the shares of the bank, held by the plaintiffs as stockholders were not subject to assessment and taxation under State authority, which position was denied by the Board, and the assess¬ ment was made and the tax imposed. The case was carried to the Supreme Court of the State, aud thence to the Court of Appeals, which court affirmed the authority of the Board of Assesors to levy the tax. The case is now before us under the twenty-fifth section of the Judiciary Act. The decree of the Court of Appeals must be reversed on the Enahi;ng Act of the State, of March 9, 1865, does not conform to ground that thethe limitations a case Eroscribed by the act of Congress, passed June 3,1864, organizing the national anks and providing for their taxation. The defect is this: One of the limita¬ tions iu the act of Congress is 4kthat the tax so imposed under the laws of any $9,214,946 State upon the shares in any of the associations authorized by this act shall not 4,763.167 exceed the rate imposed upon the shares in any of the banks authorized under 3,643,867 the authority of the State where such 8,085,832:1855.... association is located.” The 4,515,067 Act of the State contains no such Enabling 1,474.4341854 limitation; the banks of the State are taxed 3,655,4,-9 upon their capital, and although the act provides that the tax on shares of the 3.506,696; 1853 2,459,178 national banks shall not exceed the 1869 7,460,56911852 par value, vet inasmuch as he capital of the 7,032,495 State banks may consist of the bonds of the United States which are exempt Treasure from California.—The from State is easy to Arizona arrived at lent for thetaxation, it shares of see that a tux on the capital is not an equiva¬ tax on the the stockholders.

March 31,1866.] THE CHRONICLE. 1863, contained no provision concer Ing State taxation of these shares, but Congress reserved the right by the last section at any time to an*end alter, or repeal the act. The present act of 1864 is a re-enactment of the prior statnte, with some material amendments, of which the section concerning State taxation is one. In organizing these banks un er the act, it is made the duty of the association to deliver to the Treasurer of the United States registered bonds bearing interest to an amount not less than $80,000, nor less than oneIfsbrtupy capital stock paid in, which bonds shall be depos ted with the Treas¬ and by him safely kept. This provision fixes the minimum limit of the amount of the bonds to be deposited with the ri reasurer, but no maximum is fixed, and the whole amount of the capital may be invested in them. On the deposit of the bonds with the Treasurer, the association is entitled to receive from the Comptroller of the Currency circulating notes of different denomin a¬ tions, registered and countersigned, equal in amount to ninety per cent of the current market value of the bonds so deposited. There is a limit as to the amount of the circulating currency issued by these associations, not to exceed in the aggregate three hundred millions of dollars: and this sum is to be appor¬ tioned among the several banks or anized under the act. These, notes after being countersigned, are authorized to be i-sued and to circulate as money, and are to be recei ved at par iu all parts of the United States in paymeiv for taxes, excises, public lands, and all other dues to the United States, except for duties on imports, and also for all salaries, and other debts and demands owing by the United States, except interest on the public stocks, and in redemption of the third of the urer, national currency. The associations also possess all the powers necessary for carrying on the busines of hanking, by discounting and negotiating promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange, and other evidences of debt; and by receiving deposits, buy¬ ing and selling ex-hange, coin and bullion ; by loaning money on personal se¬ curity; by obtaining, issuing, and circulating notes, according to the provisions oftheac. The duration of the charter is twentv years. They are also made depositories of public moneys, when designated by'the Secretary of the Treas¬ ury. and may be employed as fiscal agents of the government. These are very great powers and privileges conferred by the act upon these associations, and which are founded upon a n *w use and application of these government bonds, especially the privilege of issuing notes to circulate iu the community as money to the amount of ninety per centum of the bonds deposit¬ ed with the Treasurer, thereby nearly doubling the amount for the operations and business purposes of the bank. This currency furnishes meaus and facili¬ ties for conducting the operations of the associations, which, if used usefully and skillfully, cannot but result In great advantages and profits to all the mem¬ bers of the association, the shareholders of the bank. In tne granting of charter¬ ed rights and priviliges by government especially if of great value to the corocrators, certain bn dens are usually, if not generally, imposed as conditions* ol the grant. Accordingly wo find them in this charter. They a e very few, but cisttnctly stated. They are, first, a duty of one-half of one per centum each ha f J'ear upon the average amount of halfnotes iu circulation ; second, a duty of oncourth of per centum each its year upon the average amount of. its de¬ one posits ; third, a duty of one-fourth of one per centum each half year ou the aver¬ amount of its capital stock, beyond the amount invested in the United States bonds; and fourth, a State tax upon the shares of the association held by the stockholders, not greater than assessed on other moneyed capital iu the State, nor to exceed the rate on shares of st ck of State b inks. These are the only burdens annexed to the enjoyment of the great chartered rights and privileges that we find in this act of Congress, and no objection is made to either of them, except the last—the limit or State taxation. Although it has been suggested, yet it can hardly be said to have been argued, that the provision in the act of Congress concerning the taxation of the shares by the State is unconstitutional. The suggestion is, that it is a tax by the State upon the bonds of the government which constitute the capital of the bank, which this court has heretofore decided to be illegal. But this suggestion is scarcely well founded, because if we were to admit, for the sake of the argument, this to be a tax on the bonds or capital of the bank, it is but a tax upon the new’ uBes and new privileges conferred by the charter of the association. It is bat a con¬ dition annexed to the enjoyment of this new'use and new application of the bonds; and if Congress possessed the power to grant these new privileges which none of the learned c unsel has denied, and which the whole argument assumes, then we do not see but that the power to annex the conditions is age equally clear and indisputable. The question involved is altogether a rized to assess taxes under State in which business may be legally Jiatethe the net profl itsearned byIn proportionthe employment of his capital durng in existence of s charter, the bank in to the number of its shares, and upon its dissolution or termination, to his proportion of the property in of the corporation after the payment of its debts.

Nothing, it would seem, could be made p ainer or more direct and comprehensive on the subject. The language of the several provisions is so explicit and positive as scarcely to call for judicial construction. Then as to the “share.'” and what is intended guage of the act is equally explicit and decisive. by the use of the term, the lan¬ The persons f rming an asso¬ ciation are required to make a certificate which will specify “ among other things the amount cf ts capital stock, and the number of shares into wh ch the same shall be divided,” “the names and places of residences of the shareholders, and the number of shares held by each.” The “ apital stack” “ shall be divid¬ ed into shares of $100 each,” “ and shall be deemed personal property.” The “shareholders ” of th* asssociation “ shall be held equally and rateably, and not one for another, for all individually responsible, contracts, debts and en¬ gagements of such association, to the extent of the amount of their stock therein at the par value thereof, in addition to the amount invested in such shares.” In the election of directors, “and in dec’ding al questions at meetings «»f share¬ holders, each shareholder shall be entitled to oue vote on each share of >tock held by him.” At least fifty tion shall be paid in before it per centum of the capital stock of every associa¬ shall be authorized to commence business,” and the remainder in instalments of at least ten per centum p-r month, till the whole amount shall be paid. “ If any shareholder or his ass gnee shall fail to pay any instalments on the stock,” the directors may sell the st >ck “*f such del nquent shareholder,” at public auction. “No associat on shall make any. loan or discount on the security* f the b ares of its own capital.” We have already referred to the lists of names and residences of “ sharehold¬ ers” and the number of “ shares ” to be kept for the inspection of the State assessors. Now, in view of these several provisions in which the terms “ shares” and “shareholders” are mentioned, and the clear and obvious meaning of the term in the connection in which it is here found—namely, the whole of the interest on the shares of the shareholders—when the statute nothing in this act shall be construed to prevent all the shares iuprovides that said assoc.a-* tions from being included in the valuation of the personal property of any per¬ son or corporation in the assessment of taxes imposed by State authority, can t ere be a doubt but that the term “ shares,” as used in this connection, means the same interest as when used in the other portion of the act? We think not. This is the obvious and ever-nocessary meaning to be given to it. Ii has been argued that the term used here means only the interest of th© shareholder as representing the portion of the capital, if any. not invested in the bonds of the government, and that tho State assessors must institute an in¬ quiry into tho investment of the cipital of the b mk an i ascertain what portion is invested in these bonds, and make a d'sedmination in the assessment of th© shares; bnt. this is an interpolation, pure and simple, into the act of Congress. If that body had intended any such aisirirtiination, it would have teen natural and an easy matter to have said so. Certainly so great and important a change in the use of this term, if so intended, would no. have been left to judicial con¬ struction. Upon the whole, after the maturest consideration, we have been able to give to the act, we are satisfied that the States possess the power to tax the uliole of the interest of the shareholders in the shares held by them in these associa¬ tions, within the limit prescribed by the act authorize g their organization; but for the reason stated in the former part of the be rever cd and the case remanded to tne Court of opinion, the judgment must Appeals of the State of New York, with directions to entei-judgment for the plaintiffs iu error, with costs.

The tax is the condition for the rem transacted.” different rights ana privileges conferred upon the associations, But in addition to this view, a tax on shares is not a tax on the t, capital of the banks. The corporation is the legal owner of all the property of the bank, real and personal, ana within the powers conferred on it b>nhe charter, and for the purposes for which it was created, can deal with the property as absolutely as a private Individual can deal with his own. This is familiar law, and will be found in every book that may be opened on the subject of corporations. A striking exemplification will be found in the case of the Queen vs. Armand, 9th Adolphus and Ellis, new series, 806. The question related to the registry of a ehip owned by a corporation. Lord Denman observed: “It appears to me that the British corporation is, as such, the sole owner of the ship/’ The indi¬ vidual m- mbera of the corporation are, no doubt, interested in one sense in the property of the corporation, as they may derive individual benefits from its in¬ crease, or losses from its decrease; but in no legal sense are the individual membe. s the owners.

The banks readily discount the paper of firms of known standing at 7 per cent, but firms in the more hazardous branches of trade have to seek accommodation among the discount houses, and pay uuusually high rates of interest. The heavy decline of prices, in some branches of trade, naturally produces a degree of caution in advancing money upon paper coming from those sources. The dif¬ ficulty of negotiating such credits is inducing a contraction of busi¬ ness, and the transaction of an increased amount of trade upon a 261,106 Fri.

The Money Market.—There noteworthy changes in monetary affairs. The loan market exhibits an extreme ease, indi« cative of a general dullness in business and of quiet in speculation. The banks, being unable to employ all their balances jn loans and discounts, are investing in compound interest notes and seven-thir¬ ties quite freely. This mode of employing balances is preferred to depositing with the Sub-Treasury on temporary loan, from an ap¬ are prehension that the rate of interest on no the temporary loans may be lOHalOlf.

This diver¬ sion having having occurred in the midst of an active movement for an advance on several of the leading stocks, the firmness of the market has been checked, and as a rule prices are 1@2 per cent, lower than at the close of last week, a decline which is very slight compared with the previons' advance.

Friday, P. M., March 30, 1866. The recurrence of another 6emi-holiday to day has given a dullness to business, but, aside from this, there has been a fair trade done, and a generally firmer feeling prevails. Mpre goods have been sold at present low rates than for many weeks before. A the close of the week’s slight reaction is beginning to be felt, and it is barely possible that there will be no further decline at present. Goods are not, however, taken in any large quantities, nor are there any going into the hands of specu¬ lators, The supply of all grades and kinds of domestic goods is in great abundance, and with the present production of the mills there is no pos¬ sibility that goods will again advance to any extent, but, as the season advances and the demand falls off, there may be a further decline. Certain it is that there are no buyers who are willing to hold goods for any length of- time. BaowN Sheetings and Shirtings have improved in tone duriug the week, and prices are firmer, though the market is but moderately active.

The auction sales have been numer¬ are more have ous and were spirited, but prices shew little improvement. London.—Our own correspondent at London, under date of Saturday, March 17, on the subject of the Manchester market for cotton yarn and cotton goods, Ac., writes as follows: At Manchester there has been a contraction of business. The tone of the market, however, lor cotton yarn and cloth is decidedly healthy, and prices for the most part rule firm. Yarns in general show great Strength. For umle yarns the inquiry is fair, especially from 40’e upwards ; the business doing, however, being chiefly for the continent and the home trade; the demand for the East „ Still comparatively inanimate For water twist yarns In the bundle, the » March SI, 1866.] THE CHRON1CLR maud is hardly as good as oflate, and they are not quite as easy to sell as on Friday Thi8also=applies to 28’s to 82’s warps, in the medium and common qualities, the better sorts remaining perfectly steady. Low numbers of water twiet remain steady at the recent advance. Twist and pin cops for the home trade are firm, at the advance established on Friday; but the demand shows less activity for all counts from 40’s downwards. The finer counts, and, in general, all yarns spun from For doubled yarns the demand continues fair, and where reasonably prompt delivery can be made, they are fully as good to sell as at any time last week. For the finer counts, from 100’s upwards, both in single and two-fold yarns, the demand again shows increasing activity, and sellers can command fuller rates. In cloth the state of affairs is very similar, and although prices are kept steady by the contracts in the hands of producers, it is only m exceptional cases that the market shows as much strength as at the close of last week. The bet¬ ter qualities of shirtings, printers, &c., being scarce, are firm ; but this cnn hardly be said of the commoner descriptions, which are somewhat more freely ottered. Domestics, T-cloths, and the heavier class of goods generally, are less inquired for, and while sellers seek for orders, they are rather easier to deal with In some cases we hear of resale lots coming on the market, and although this is not of frequent occurrence, it has not had a good effect on the market, which closes with some tameness. The following are some of the quotation!: Egyptian cotton, continue to show a hardening tendency. WATER TWIST FOR EXPORT. Numbers... 6 to 12 d. 17 19 23 Common quality. Second quality...

I860.] © 4 0 io 408 THE CHRONICLE. $300,000 have been expended on the unfinished portion. Of the State aid grunted to the company. $500 000 remain, and it is sup¬ posed .hat this sum will be nearly sufficient to complete the enter¬ ®l)c Railway ittonitor. Minnesota Railroad Bonds.—The Legislature of Minnesota law for the adjustment of the old railroad debt. This loan consists of a series of 25-year 7 per cent bonds issued in 1858 to aid in the construction of the land-grant railroads, the progress of which hud been stopped by the financial troubles of the preced ing year. The amount issued was $2,275,000, on which no interest has ever been paid, the companies having defaulted, and the roads themselves reverted to the State. The Legislature of 1861 made another attempt to secure their construction by re-granting the lands and assets to new companies, and something towards their completion has since been done. There is now seven or eight years’ interest due on the bonds. The law recently passed, however, ig nores all this, and provides for the appointment of three commis¬ sioners, whose duty it is to ascertain the present whereabouts of said bonus, how much the holders paid for them, and, if a satisfac¬ tory arrangement can be made, new bonds are to be exchanged for the old ones, subject, howevei, to the approval of the Legislature and a direct vote of the people. By this proceedings direct State has passed prise. of the conscience of the debtor, measure very creditable act on the part of the rich and progressive State of Minnesota. How much better it would have been to have a New London Northern Railroad.—In 1864 this company purchased the Amherst, Belchertown and Palmer Railroad, extend¬ ing 20 miles from the northern terminus of their own line to Amherst. They are now constructing an extension of 14 miles from Amherst to Grout’s example of Missouri, Tennessee, North Carolina, and other States, whose honor has been preserved uuder the most ad¬ verse circums’ances, and, like them, give new issues, dollar for dol¬ lar, principal and interest. This legislation can enure only to the injury of the State’s credit. Susquehanna Railroad.—This road is now com¬ pleted from Albany to Unadilla, 100 miles, and the 40 miles thence to Binghamton are in rapid prioress. Since June last 55 miles have been and So far, the line has cost $3,568,166 90, and opened. COMPARATIVE -Atlantic & Great Western.1804.
