THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The
improved condition of affairs noted last week con¬
Money is easy, notwithstanding the customary
demand for the April settlements; business is active and
promising, in spite of the check railroad building has
received; the foreign exchanges have been kept just below
the gold-shipping point, so that the outflow has, for at
least the time being, been stopped; the war cloud that
threatened to unsettle Europe has now disappeared, and
there are no indications of any event of a disturbing char¬

Furthermore, this is the third week of the rise in
the stock market in
Wall Street, and yet
there is as we
write no change in the influences that have contributed to
produce it, except of a promising nature, and it may be
that still another week or more of improvement in prices
will be witnessed.

for funds with which to move the crops lias heretofore

Then came another movement

This year we have to note an absence of the excessive

for the same reason, an earlier return of money from

the Treasury disbursements have been sufficiently liberal
to more than counterbalance the loss of gold withdrawn
this year for shipment to Europe.
Possibly the receipts
later in the season from the West will not equal the
customary large amounts which have heretofore helped to
augment the reserves of the banks during the summer,
and yet it is possible that the decline in railroad construc¬
tion may let loose other funds which have thus been
employed for some time in the Western and Southwestern
sections, giving us the usual plethora during that season.
Speculators for a rise in stocks have also this week
materially aided in quieting the fears of some who looked
for active money through a renewal of gold exports, they

have had an unsettling effect upon values.
ITence th*
speculators for a rise, who are at present very solicitous
to avoid
anything of a disquieting tendency, arranged
this sterling loan, and thus far the object sought has been
secured.
If, before the maturity of the borrowed bills,
the rates of exchange do not decline so as to enable the
sterling to be covered at a profit, and if the bills can¬
not

con¬
the
loss, as they will have made a satiifactory profit by their stock operations. The negotiation
of course adds nothing to the supply of loanable
funds,
and the sole object of the transaction was to stop further
shipments of gold.
A disturbing influence in themoney market thisweek has been the unexpected action of the United
States Treasurer in enforcing an old order which was
supposed to have been "superseded. His action resulted
in
an

This was
by a demand for legal tenders in consequence of
the said order, which directed the Assistant Treasurer to
require banks who desired to transfer gold by Treasury
certificate to their correspondents at interior points, to
deposit United States notes with the Assistant Treasurer
in this city.
The rule was made in 1879, shortly after
the resumption of specie payments, and it had been in
force but a short time when an application was received to
have gold transferred by Treasury certificate on depoiit
of gold as well as notes.
The matter was referred to the
department ; and while the rule was not modified, it wu
tacitly understood that it need not be strictly interpreted,
and it soon became the practice of the office here thus to
caused

with
Treasury certificates when
they desired to make transfers to interior points, notably
Philadelphia.
In
reply to criticisms the Treasurer of the United State#
says that if the public interests permitted, the request of*
the banks would now be complied with.
That the pub¬
lic interests have not suffered by the lax enforcement of
the rule may be pretty strongly inferred; first from the
fact that the business of the Sub-Treasury has been man¬
aged very creditably and with entire efficiency during
the incumbency of General Hillhouse and Mr. Acton for
the whole period while the enforcement of the order has
been suspended ; and second, from the fact that it is im¬
possible to conceive. any way in which public interests
could be harmed by a deposit of gold instead of a deposit
of legal tenders.
Furthermore, 4hat the regulation wasnot strictly conformed fo must have been known to Mr.
Gilfillan, for the transactions of the Assistant Treasurer aredaily reported, and if there was anything radically wrong
in the practice it would have been discovered earlier, and
explained and corrected. It is hoped that the Treasurer
will promptly reconsider his order, as its longer enforce¬
ment puts the banks and through them the
public to un¬
necessary inconvenience.
After what has been said above, it is almost superfluous
ing to $2,381,629, and the excess of exports over imports
of merchandise and specie amounted to only $5,302,422.

Lake Shore charter.
It is possible that this scheme may

indisposed to attack either of these properties. And yet
how it will add value to these old properties is not
quite
so clear.

it is no wonder that values rise under such a
glorious anti¬

to be afraid of a
personal market and do not seem to be
any more anxious to buy than to sell, so that the business is
confined chiefly to the professionals.
There is some good
buying for investment, but the properties selected are not
those whicii have been either “

being taken on foreign account. If this is true, there is

therefore, both of them objects of popular
dislike. In a Government document published towards
the close of last year, and which was sent to all the pro¬
vincial assemolies, it was openly admitted that during
the last twenty years the Jews had 11 gradually possessed
themselves of not only every trade and business in all
its branches, but also of a great part of the land by
buying or farming it.”
The proposed exhibition and congress, both of which, it
is understood, have the hearty approval of General Ignatieff, the man who has for the moment the destinies of
Russia in his hands, point to a radical change of imperial
policy. They are in the direction of industrial develop¬
ment and of a reformed domestic policy.
In this field
the future Russian statesman will find his opportunity.
In the removal of social wrongs, in the development of
industry, in the multiplication of railroads and other
means of communication, and not in foreign conquest, lies
the hope of Russia.

Through all its many windings, from Chivasso downwards,,
j
'
.1 have dwelt
the banks of the
Mississippi, and have in my
poor way studied the problem of its overflows and other pheno¬
mena of the great river.
Some ten years ago I cut from some
paper an extract from Macmillan's Magazine on the River
Po, copy of which is enclosed.
It seemed to me then, as it
does now, to carry to our people a lesson from old centuries.
Many thoughtful men who live near the Mississippi have de¬
clared the utter futility of levees to keep that river within
its banks, however high
they might be raised, and that the
higher the embankment the worse the destruction of life
and property must be when the inundation comes.
Some
editors have had the courage in these last few weeks to
say
that all money appropriated to
building levees or embank¬
ments, to retain the river, will be worse than wasted, because
doing injury rather than good. And it is true.
Some engineers, who have had independence
and pluck to
state their beliefs, in the face of
menacing dismissal from work
upon the Mississippi improvement, for the utterance of such
political and sectional heterodoxy, have said that embankment
(except in a small way and in special places) would be unavail¬
ing to hold the river, unless accompanied (or preceded) step by
step with such dredging of the bottom as would lower the bot¬
tom in some degree below its
present grade and prevent its rise
by deposits as the embankments rise. No doubt every United
States engineer would say as much
or more, if free to express
on
his true opinions.
t
K Congress must
appropriate millions of money to protect
Mississippi Valley, as I think it ought,

And
alluvial islands diversify its course, and deserted channels here
and there mark the ancient aberrations of the river. To guard
against the devastating effects of floods, and to check such
aberrations, the dikes were raised; and in this contest
of man with nature, the result has been that the alluvial
flats on either side of the river outside the dikes have for long;received but little addition of surface sediment, and their level:
is nearly stationary.
It thus happens that the most of the sediment that in old
times would have been spread by overflows across the land, ia
now hurried along towards the Adriatic, there, with the
help of
the Adige, steadily to advance the far-spreading alluvial flata
that form the delta of the two rivers. As the embanking of the
river went on from age to age, so just in proportion has the an¬
nual amount of the formation of the delta been accelerated. The
town of Adria, a seaport of the Adriatic in the reign of
Augus¬
tus, is now fourteen miles from the shore, and the ancient
lagoon of Ravenna has long since been filled up, chiefly by the
mud brought down by an ancient arm of the Po.
But the confined river, unable by annual floods to
dispose of
part of its sediment, just as the dikes were increased in neight,
giadually raised its bottom by the deposition there of a portion
of the transported material, so that to prevent its overflow it
is said that the embankments have been raised so high that at
Ravenna* the full-flooded river often runs higher than the tops
of the houses, and the safety of the neighboring country is a
constant source of anxiety to the inhabitants.
All these dan¬
gers have been much increased by the wanton destruction of
the forests of the Alps and the Appenines; for when the shelter
of the wood is gone the heavy rains of summer easily wash the
soil from the slopes down into the rivers, and many an
upland pasture has by this process been turned into

At last a season comes like the present, when long-continued
rain falls alike on mountains and plains, and the floods, swelled
by the rapidly-thawing glaciers, steadily increase the volume of
the rivers, till at length they rise to the very brim of their
embankments; and in spite of the long-continued precautions

money was easy in London, Paris and New York, with a
gain in hank reserves at all those cities. The Bank of

The specie shipments from New York also fell

man’s struggle with great rivers, when for ages he has striven
to confine them.
But by foresight and skill much may be
done; and if the great old forests of the mountains were
allowed to reassert themselves, the recurring danger would in
time become less than now. But to be ever

comparing with £17,732,894 in
1881, while the proportion of reserve to liabilities is 42*43 per
cent, against 40*19 per cent last week and 46*33 per cent last
year.
The recent disturbance in the principal financial centres
of the world has undoubtedly exercised a considerable influence
in
retarding business. The rapid accumulation of unemployed
and the falling off in the amount of the clearings
through the Bankers’ Clearing House are a proof of this, and
there is every reason for believing that the process will con¬
tinue.
A very easy market is anticipated during the summer
months, but not that depression which has been apparent in

but in addition to the fact that the rate was 6 per cent, appre¬
hensions existed that a still higher quotation was possible. Six
cent has, however, accomplished quite as much as was ex¬
pected of it; and now that the money market has again become
easy, more activity is manifestng itself in several quarters.
Numerous fresh schemes have been introduced to public notice,
and in mercantile circles business is reported to be improving.
The time, however, will soon be arriving when the crop pros¬
pects will begin to exercise an important influence, and, until
something definite is known with regard to them, a consider¬
able degree of caution will be shown. It is not only the crops
of cereals and of*food generally that have to be taken into ac¬
count, but manufacturers are anxious to ascertain what will be
the probable yield of the raw materials in which they are in¬
terested, and on these subjects information will soon be forth¬
coming. As far as cereals in Europe are concerned the prospect
is a very good one. The weather here, as well as on the Conti¬
nent, has been remarkably propitious, the- great danger being
that, after a brilliant and warm March, we may have a cold
spring, which, in the present forward state of vegetation, would
be injurious to the agricultural interests.' Such a winter as we
have had, more like constant spring, and such a March as the
present, which is more like May, have been scarcely known,
and a year of plenty is looked forward to.
There has been a fair demand for money for short periods
during the week, and 3^ to 4 per cent is obtainable even upon
the best security. The supply of bills in the discount market is,
however, very moderate, and with an increasing amount of
unemployed capital, the rates of discount have tended down¬
wards. The quotations are now as follows :

Spring sowing will soon be completed, and the work has thus
far progressed under the most favorable conditions. Ample
importations and fine weather cause the wheat trade to rule
extremely quiet, but towards the close of the week there
yras rather a better demand for the finer sorts of produce.
Vegetables in season are abundant and cheap, and large quan¬
tities are arriving from the West of England, Jersey and
France. The following quantities of grain are reported to be
afloat to the United Kingdom:—Wheat, 2,712,00© quarters; flour,
215,000 quarters, and Indian corn, 175,000 quarters.
During the week ended March 11 the sales of home-grown
wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to 32,053 quarters, against 34,685 quarters last year
and 24,521 quarters in 1880; while it is computed that they
were in the whole kingdom 128,220 quarters,
against 138,750
quarters and 98,100 quarters. Since harvest the sales in the 150
principal markets have amounted to 1,275,035 quarters, against
1,164,405 quarters and 887,423 quarters; the estimate for the
whole kingdom being 5,100,140 quarters, against 4,717,840
quarters in the corresponding period of last season and 3,587,000

been much steadiness this week, and there is apparently no
decline in confidence as to the generally healthy condition of
financial affairs. The trunk line agreement has been further
strengthened by a pooling arrangement on live stock, accom¬
panied by an advance in rates ; the Western Union Telegraph
monopoly has been renewed by the acquisition of the control
of the Mutual Union, and by the lease of the American
cable,
after its completing arrangements for pooling with the
English
oable companies ; the Philadelphia & Reading injunction lias
been dissolved, and the deferred bond scheme is to be carried
out immediately; the great speculators of the market are
known to be on the side of higher prices.
On the other hand, we have the
reports of railroad com¬
panies coming out for the year 1881, which frequently show a
decrease in. net earnings, notwithstanding a considerable
increase in gross business, and this result is
owing to a higher
ratio of operating expenses and to increased
charges for interest,
and rentals.
The first two months of this year have been most
favorable in comparison with 1881, on account of the terrible
weather and snow blockades last year, and
March, too, has to
some
extent been the same.
Now, what have we to ex¬
pect for the next five months from April 1 to September
1, prior to the next crop movement ? Certainly a diminished
tonnage of cereals and cotton ; although it is to be remembered
that these constitute but two items of traffic,
important as
these items may be. It is not desirable to reach out into the
future and predict what the railroads will or will not
earn, but
for the purpose of grouping
together a few leading roads to
show how wonderfully their
gross receipts, increased after
March and April last year, the
following table has been pre¬
pared :

The money market has been a trifle
firmer, in consequent
of the approach of
April settlements, and the rate to stock
borrowers has ranged at 4@6 per cent, while government bond
dealers have paid 3 per cent, and prime commercial
paper of 2
to 4 months has sold at
5@6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on
Thursday showed
increase of £122,000 in specie, but the
percentage of reserve
was 42%,
against 45 11-16 last week ; the discount rate remains
an
at 3 per cent.

The Bank of France
gained 3,675,000 francs gold and 4,575,000 francs silver.

United States Bonds.—The demand for governments is
large,
and the 4 and 4% per
cents are in demand from savings banks
and other institutions which are
losing their present bonds by
the successive calls of the
Treasury. There seems to be nothing
left for the investments of these financial
corporations except
government bonds, yielding about 3 per cent, or real estate
mortgages.

State and Railroad
Bonds.—Among State bonds the Ten"
stronger, and considerable lots sold at the Board to¬
day above 50. Louisiana consols are rather weak, and show
very little business here.
A suit has been commenced in Vir¬
ginia to test the validity of the recent law known as “ Coupon
nessees are
Killer No. 1.”
Railroad bonds are more active, and show a well-distributed
business at prices generally higher. The increased confidence
in railroad securities lately developed, and the smaller amounts
this year
going into new enterprises, both have the effect of
turning the attention of investors towards the old railroad
bonds which have a place on the Board list.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
has been, upon the whole, pretty strong, and the
closing prices
to-day generally show an advance on last week. The changes
which have taken place in the position of certain
leading com¬
panies have had more or less influence in strengthening the
whole list. Thus Western Union Telegraph has again secured
a
practical monopoly of the business of the whole country,
besides leasing the American cable and forming a
pool for all
trans-Atlantic messages; so far as can be seen there is no obstacle
advance in "rates for telegraphing, and the company
might force a business that would pay 10 per cent a year in¬
stead of 6 per cent as at present.
The Philadelphia & Reading
injunction is removed, and the balance of payments obl
subscriptions to the deferred bonds are called for, and Mr.
Gowen predicts that the company will be out of the receivers’
to any
hands within three months’ time. Delaware Lackawanna Sc
Western to-day declared a quarterly dividend of 2 per
cent,
payable April 20.
There are some indications of a more quiet stock market in
the next few months—that is, a less vigorous contest between
bulls and bears—but there may be new developments at
any
time which will change the situation; a good
many operators,
too, are accustomed to close up their accounts prior to the
summer season, leaving themselves free to travel.
In the Wabash St. Louis & Pacific income
account, published
last week, an unfortunate typographical blunder made the
balance to debit January 1, 1882, $1,852,485, instead of $1,452,858, as it should have been. The corrected figures for 1881 are
given below in comparison with those for 1880.

The President remarks in his report:
“It will be observed that, notwithstanding
the increased mile¬
of 1881 the net earnings have decreased $429,917. The
gross earnings, however, show an increase of $832,103, and the
increase of expenses has been $1,262,020. Of this about $400,000 may be said to be due to the increase of business, leaving
about $850,000 of extraordinary increase in the cost of opera¬
tion and maintenance for the year, or about $305 per mile of
road operated. This is due to the increased prices of material

depressed by the return of good weather for plant¬
ing operations at the South. There was renewed buoyancy in
Monday’s market, owing to bad weather at the South, but the
free notices of deliveries on April contracts caused a weak
closing. On Tuesday, however, the continuance Of bad weather
and the full prices paid for short notices for April, gave
renewed strength to prices. There was on Wednesday a
marked absence of demand, and the reports of a large increase
in the Bombay movement had a very depressing influence,
especially upon this crop, which declined 12@15 points, while
the more distant months of the next crop were only 8 points
lower.
On Thursday there was an extremely variable market,
and the final close was without important change. To-day
there was a firmer opening on better Liverpool advices, but
there was a reaction, and the close was slightly lower. Cotton
on the spot has been moderately active for home consumption,
but other demands were very quiet.
Quotations were reduced
l-16c. on Wednesday.
To-day there was but little doing, mid¬
dling uplands closing at 12} £c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 761,400
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
4,696 bales, including 1,133 for export, 3,103 for consumption,.
460 for speculation and
in transit. Of the above, — bales
were to arrive.

irregular and mostly governed by actual

small
reassortments of both foreign and
domestic fabrics, that the
volume of business, if not
quite up to expectations, was at

satisfactory.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—The

and stocks are in such

mostly quiet, but there was a
fair business in a few of the most
popular fine and mediumfine shirtings and wide

Colored cottons were in moderate

steady demand. Print
cloths ruled quiet but firm at
3%c plus % per cent, for 64 by

were
sluggish as a rule,
and ginghams and cotton dress
goods were quiet in agents’
hands and somewhat unsettled in
price.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—The bulk of the
week’s business
in clothing woolens was restricted to
making deliveries of heavy¬

fair call at first hands for moderate-sized
lots of heavy cassimeres, cheviots, worsteds and
overcoatings, with most relative
activity in medium to fine qualities. There was an
increased
inquiry for “job lots’’of spring cassimeres, but transactions
were only moderate
owing to the indisposition of holders to
entertain the prices offered
by intending buyers. Prices of
heavy woolens (for men’s wear) are firmly maintained, and most
leading makes are under the control of orders for some time to
come.
Kentucky jeans remain quiet and satinets are devoid of
animation.
Dress fiannels
and white flannels were in
moderate
request and steady, and, while worsted dress goods received but
little attention, there was a
steady call for soft woolen dress
fabrics and
lace buntings.
Foreign Dry Goods.—There
was
a
slightly better
demand
for imported goods at first
hands, and a good steady business
in dress goods, silks, linen
goods, embroideries, laces, hosiery
and gloves, &c., was done
by most of the leading jobbers. The
aaction rooms were more
liberally patronized by retailers, and
were freely distributed
through
silks, millinery goods, &c.f
their medium at fair average prices.
Importations of dry goods will be found
