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¬

:

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

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

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

find themselves generally well employed; and as the cost of
living and rents range very high, higher perhaps, as compared
with wages than before the war, the operatives in
many
branches of labor are demanding advanced pay. 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

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.

London, Saturday, March 17, 1866.

Somewhat

unexpectedly the Directors of the Bank of England re¬

Thursday to six per ceut,*and
a similar decline has taken
place in the rate of interest in the open mar¬

action on the part of the 1 irectors. The
high rats for accom¬

to two per

opening of the present year has
operated effectively in checking the expansion of trade; hence, the de¬
mand for di-count

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

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¬

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,

present reduction on the various markets before making

any further change. In some departments—more especially in cotton—

Speaking generally, the Stock Exchange markets have continued in
Consols have been unfavorably affected by two
causes, viz: by the cessation of the Government broker to operate on
acconnt of the sinking fund, and by the unsatisfactory meeting of the
Joint Stock Discount Company
Financial companies’ shares from the
latter cause have been greatly depressed, and a further decline has taken
place in their value. The market for foreign bonds, however, has beeo
tolerably firm. In Spanish descriptions there has been considerable
speculation, and prices have fluctuated to some extent. The following

biographer of Henry draws his narrative from the old chroni¬
clers. 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

writ of error to the Court of
Appeals of the State of New York. 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.

Appeals must be reversed on the

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.

State
engaged in the exercise of the right. 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¬

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

the amount invested in such shares.” In

pay any instalments on the stock,” the directors
may sell the st >ck “*f such

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

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

by them in these associa¬

tions, within the limit

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

Department of the probability of that course being adopted.
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

Friday Night, March 30, 1866.

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

The

following are yesterday’s closing quotations for the leading
securities, compared with those of previous weeks :

This fact, however, appears to be less attributable to any

specific bearing of the act upon speculative operations than to the
diversion of speculation from stock to the gold room.
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. Yesterday the market had
its strength severely tested by a very large amount of Erie stock,
being sold, which beat down the price to 76$. It is not apparent

during the
The passing of the Loan

On Tuesday the demand for gold to cover “ short”
contracts put up the price to 128$, which caused a resort to borrow¬
ing ; and on Tuesday and Wednesday £ per cent per day was paid
on loans.
The price not yielding, and with such a
high rate on
loans, the “ shorts ” were yesterday covered quite freely; but the
consequent demand kept the price firm, while the rote on loans fell
to 1.16@1.32 per cent.
This morning, business at the Gold Room
being suspended, there were no transactions to afford any real indi¬
cation of the tone of the market, but the
price on the street was
quoted 128@127f. The movement of the week has been wholly
fictitious, and does not represent the real views of the financial publie as to the value of gold ; the
prevailing opinion being that 125
is about the proper price.
The export of specie on
Saturday last was $35,835; no ship¬

There has been

extensive demand for Cotton at Liverpool
during the
week. The inquiry is
again chiefly on the part of our own spinners and of ex¬
porter*. Out of total sales of 91,290 bales, 58,260 bales
having been taken by
the trade and 16,720 bales for
export. A general advance lias at the same time
taken place in prices, American
descriptions having improved %d., Braz 1 %d.
to Id., Egyptian %d. to
Id., and East Indian %d. to %d. per lb. For arrival, a
large business has been done at, as regards American
descriptions, the follow¬
ing prices: New Orleans midiiing,
19%d.; Charleston, on basis of middling,
19% ; Savannah 19%, and Mobile middling, at.
sea, 19%d. per lb.

GOODS TRADE.
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.

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

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

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.

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

New London Northern Railroad.—In 1864 this company

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.

pleted from Albany to Unadilla, 100 miles, and the 40 miles thence
to Binghamton are in rapid prioress.
Since June last 55 miles
