The simple method of requiring a quar¬

THE COMPTROLLER’S MARCH REPORT OF THE BANKS.
i
publication by the Comptroller of the
aggregate bank statements for March 1, is partly due,
we presume, to the fact that the
figures have been looked
for with unusual interest by the public.
The report
comprises 2,027 banks, against 1,076 at the time of the
Jay Cooke panic of September, 1873. The subjoined
table compares the various quarterly statements of

CAUSES OF PANIC.
1. The over-estimation of one’s power of capital, and the neglect
to consider where the income of a people as well as its power of
laving ended, and what were the resources at its free disposition.
2. The abuse of private credit, naturally brought on by over¬
speculation, the requirements of which could not be satisfied by
1 lie speculators’ capital, and the misuse made of this credit for
the most daring enterprises.
3. The easy belief of a population
known as highly sanguine,
disposition not to examine things with care, the unlimited
number of persons taking part in the goings on on ’ChaDge, the
immense amount of capital .carried into speculation and away
from the requirements of regular production.
4. Over production in many branches, both of inland and
foreign industry, caused and stimulated by abnormal consump¬
tion, by the rising of all prices, and the general spreading of
luxury into every class of the population.
5. The system of Governmental concessions to and control over
companies, both founded on false premises.
G. The wrong direction which the activity of banks almost
entirely took, by exclusively paying attention to speculations,
promotion of new companies, and “ agio” gains.
7. The concessions granted to speculative banks, which carried
on all manner of business without having
the required capital,
and which risked their own capital and exposed that belonging
its
to others.
8. The defective currency standard in the country, which gave
many a daring enterprise.
9. The groundless hopes founded in 1871 on the effects that
would be felt from the French milliards that came pouring into
ground to
Germany, and the expectations

A better illustration
awakened by the project of the
could not be given of the analo¬
gies between our panic of 1873 and that of Vienna
than is found in the foregoing summary of the causes?
direct and indirect, which contributed to the Austrian
revulsion. In both countries the banks took deposits
from the public on call at high rates of interest, and
sunk those deposits where they could not be had when
the
owners
called for them.
In both countries
a paper
incorporation—is from the State, and it is only
proper that in conferring the power it should guard it
by such checks as general experience has proved to be
necessary.
Some might object to any limitation to the
will of the people of the town or city governed.
It is
frequently said, that if they, that is the majority, desire
to incur debt, they should be allowed to do so to any
extent.
This position would be invulnerable were it not
for the practical results of such a policy, as seen on
every side.
There are many cities and villages in this
very neighborhood, at present, so borne down with’railroad and other obligations, that their people are crippled,
and their progress stayed for years.
There can be no
reason
why they should thus be permitted to commit
suicide, even if they have the disposition to do so. Let
this condition once become general or extend to any
considerable section of the State, and we readily see
how unfavorably it would affect the whole common¬
wealth. We believe in allowing a community to govern

PORK PACKING AND PRTIiS OF HOG PRODUCTS.
We gave
last week in our Commercial Epitome a sum¬
mary of the leading items in the statement of pork
packing at the West, for the season beginning November
1st and ending March 1st.
This period has come from
custom to be designated as the “
pork packing season,”
and although, of late
years, through the employment of
ice and ice-houses, the
slaughter of swine has been prose¬
cuted throughout the
year, the statistics of the regular
season retain much
importance to those who are inter¬
ested in this branch of trade.
The review
published by the Cincinnati Price Current,
accepted authority in such matters, shows
that the number of swine
slaughtered at the West dur¬
ing the past season was 5,500,220, of which 3,500,911
are credited to the six
principal cities of Chicago, Cin¬
cinnati, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Milwaukee
representing the great States of Illinois, Ohio, Missouri,
Indiana, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. The grand total
shows an increase of 100,020 over the season of
1873-’4,
or a little less than two
per cent.; an increase which is,
of course, more than counterbalanced
by a falling off of
5*20 per cent, or
7,487,514 lbs. in the net weight of

compilation of statistics to show how these
exports were distributed, but it is hardly necessary to say
that nearly all went to Great Britain,
Germany and the
West Indies; Great Britain and Germany being the prin¬
cipal buyers of bacon and lard, and the West Indies tak¬
ing most of the exports of pork.
The increase in the number of barrels of
pork, as
above stated, and the comparatively large production of
lard, have undoubtedly, in conjunction with the reduced
export, caused some increase in stocks at this time.
There are, unfortunately, no reliable statistics of them,
and nothing can be obtained except approximate esti¬
mates.
Of pork the supply at the principal points of
the North and West may be set down at not far from
310,000 barrels, of which rather more than 200,000 bar¬
rels are at New York and Chicago.
The quantity in
stock one year ago Avas about 235,000 barrels. Of lard
130,000 tierces may be accepted as a reliable estimate of
present stocks, against about 120,000 tierces one year
ago.
Of bacon, cut meats, Ac., the supply is probably
little if any larger than one year ago; it may be smaller,
notwithstanding the diminished export.
It will not do, in the matter of pork and lard, to jump
to the conclusion, from the
larger stocks now on hand, that
prices ^are too high. A considerable portion of the West
and
no
Southwest which suffered last Summer from the
drought, or from the grasshopper plague, must continue
buyers instead of sellers throughout the Spring
and Autumn months; exports are not likely to show any
further falling off; the South is making preparation to
increase her cotton crop, and being in a better position
as
regards finances, will hardly fail of being a large
buyer; and the ease in the money market favors that
spirit of speculation which seems to be increasing
throughout the whole country, and to have extended to
all the principal agricultural products.
The rapid

There seems to have been a notable

operations of packers.
Notwithstanding the lighter the packing season, one year ago, and the quantity pro¬

large importation of gold from Australia this
week, amounting to £705,000. Of that amount, £293,000 con-,
sisted of sovereigns, and were seut into the Bank of England,
and it w&s thought that, as there seemed to be no demand for
gold for export, the bars would also be retained on this side. On
Tuesday, however, the German Government unexpectedly re-ap¬
peared in the market, and purchased the whole of the supply.
There is, however, no apprehension of the demand continuing
for the German exchanges are in ’our favor, and in the natural
state of things, the tendency would be for gold to be attracted to
this market.
The operation referred to can only be looked upon
as special, and in connection with the new coinage. It is a transac
tion which no individual firm would undertake, because it would
leave a loss, but the German Government possessing the means
wherewith to buy, aud being in want of gold to proceed with, the
coinage, attaches no importance to the loss sustained. No doubt
the advantage of possessing the gold more than compensates for
the loss, -which after all is not so great as to need discussion.
The absorption of nearly all our importations of gold by the
export demand has given a somewhat firmer tone to the money
market, hut the rates of discount have not materially varied. The
official minimum remains at 34 per cent, and in the open market
the best bills are taken at a fraction beneath that quotation. The
supply of commercial bills is still very moderate, but there is some
prospect of increase, as trade is reported to be somewhat more
cheerful. The following are the present quotations for money :

bonds, but quotations for Tennessees and Virginias continue strong.
Missouris have been
tolerably active and also ttrong. . It is reported from the State
that the authorities have decided to issue the new bonds in a
five-twen y five per cent, gold bond.
This decision seems some¬
what remarkable, in view of the fact that the State now has a
considerable amount of bonds outstanding, which are payable by
their terms “in gold or silver,” bat which she lias for some time
past refused to pay except in currency.
Railroad bonds have been strong and tolerably active. There
is a well-distributed demand for nearly all tlie sound bonds for
investment, and an inclination to speculate in some of the favor¬
ite issues, notably this week in Chicago and Northwestern Consol
Gold Bonds, which sold up to 86 and back again to 84£.
Interest
of 3^ gold is due on these bonds, June 1, and they now carry,
therefore, about 3 per cent, of accrued interest, in currency. The
Pacific Railroad issues, both Central and Union, have been largely
dealt in, and prices strengthened by the increase in earnings,
which these companies exhibit in their published statements.
The following securities, seldom or never sold at our Board,
shipping point, though not particularly active.
In tlie local money market appearances favor the idea that rates
will be reasonably easy from this time forward. Currency is on the
return from the country, and it seems more than probable that the
supply of loanable funds will soon be very abundant in this
quarter.

The
Gold; Market.— Since the break in the
speculative
movement last week gold has been quiet, fluctuating within a
moderate range, and having a firmer tendency towards the close
The volume of business has been moderate, and nothing is said
of any
prospective attempt to corner the market again, although
be assumed that if circumstances offered a good oppor¬
tunity the parties would probably be found to attempt it. The
higher rates of exchange have been an important element this
week, and at one time it was thought that specie would be
shipped to a moderate extent; it appears, however, that the
rates of exchange were not held quite firmly enough for this
On gold loans a moderate price has been paid most of the time

assenting bondholders should agree to pay, as a maximum. 23 per
cent, on the face of their bonds (about 40 per cent, of their present
value), this to be repaid with new bonds under the reorganization.
Mr. Southmayd did not speak of the point which has been
considered by many the main question at issue, viz.: whether or
not the circumstances of the guarantee and sale of the bonds do
not constitute a direct contract from the Pittsburgh Cincin¬
nati & St. Louis Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad, to
every individual bondholder.
The facts of the

turns on this, for no one denies that the lessee may proceed
against the C. C. & I. C. for non-performance of covenants in the
lease, and may very likely be successful in breaking the lease.
The question, as between the three contracting railroads them
selves, and as between them and bondholders who have pur¬
chased for a valuable consideration, should not be mixed up, and
there seems to be some danger that the case will get befogged in

this way.
In a similar
question in the United States Circuit Court in Mis¬
souri, where bondholders sued a lessee to collect interest on bonds
guaranteed by the lease, although that lease had
already been broken and cancelled by the failure of the leased
company to perform its covenants, Judge Dillon, a man of great
experience in railroad law, says in his opinion : which had been
“The pi intiff (bondholder) alleges that to induce p rsone to buy the bonds,
the present defendant (lessee) requested the statements to be made therein
that payment of interest was guaranteed by it, and secured by a contract of
lease of June 14. 1870<that it approved of this statement in the bonds, and
afterwards, with full knowledge of these fac's, and that the purchase of bonds
had been induced thereby, paid to the Bank of Commerce the several instal¬
ments of interest on said bonds
np to that which fell due Nov. 1, 1873.
Assuming these allegations of the petition to be true, onr opinion is that
they constitute a good cause of action in favor of the plaintiff, and one which
may be enforced in an action at law directly against tne defendant.

Mr. Thos. A. Scott, the new President, says in his report:
The
good condition ot the track on the main line from Baltimore to
Sunbury, lias not only been fully maintained throughout the year,
but a decided improvement has been made, your line now being
in excellent order.
In July this Company
resumed possession of the Green Spring
Branch, extending from RHay to a connection with the
Western
Maryland Railroad near Owing’s Mill, a distance of 84 miles; thin
branch it is proposed to extend to Owing’s Mill, requiring about
mile of new track.
The Board have decided that tlie following improvements should
at once be commenced, and pushed to completion, viz.:
A grain
one
with a storage capacity of 500,000 bushels, aud
capacity of seven to ten millions of bushels per
annum ; a warehouse lor rolling freight at Canton, 500 feet by 60 ;
and a coal wharf and trestle at Canton, 600 feet long and CO feet
wide, over which 500,000 tons per annum can be transferred.
The estimated cost of these improvements, and of the comple¬
tion of the car shops at Mt. Vernon, together with certain needed
extensions of the sidings at that point, is $600,000.
A consolidated mortgage ot $10,000,000, bearing 6 per cent
interest was created May 26, 1874.- Under the provisions of this
mortgage it is provided that $6,000,000 shall he reserved to take
up prior mortgages leaving $4,000,000 applicable for its present
and future wants.
Of this amount $2,000,000 have been sold
through the house ot Drexel & Co.,-of Philadelphia, realizing 86
per cent, net, and the proceeds received were applied to the pay¬
ment of he then existing debts of the Company.
(Another $1,000,000 has just now been authorized as stated in
Chronjcle of April 3).
A dividend of 34 per cent was made in July last, and a balance
left of net income of $82 704 80, which is equivalent to about i\
per cent additional, showing that the line, notwithstanding the
depressed condition of its traffic has earned about five per cent
upon its capital stock.

On the 28th day of December, 1874, your directors consum¬
mated a contract with the Boston & Maine Railroad for doing a
joint business on terms which we trust may be mutually advan¬
tageous to the corporations interested and the public generally.
By this contract the Boston & Maine Railroad aopeu that line to us
for through business on nearlythe same terms granted us by the
Eastern Railroad Company by contract of 1871, and receive from
us the same privileges and services which the Eastern were enti¬
tled to under that contract.
In effecting this arrangement with
the B. & M., it became necessary to modify and change somewhat
the contract of 1872 which we had with the Eastern, road.
To do
this required the consent of that corporation.
After mature
deliberation and a full canvass of the important proposition, the
Directors of the Eastern and the M. C. agreed to cancel all exist¬
ing contracts, and substitute therefor a new contract embracing
essentially the same provisions and terms contained in the con¬
tract between the M. C. and B. & M.
These contracts are for the

give the movements of cotton at the interior
shipments for the week, and stock to-night,
ponding week of 1874;
that compared with iast
year there is an increase of 25,000 bales this year in the week’s
shipments from Bombay to Europe, and that the total movement
since January 1 shows an increase in shipments of 85,000 bales
compared with the corresponding period of 1874.
Messrs. Nicol & Co. also telegraph, revising their estimate o
shipments from that port. It appears that on further investiga
tion they have discovered that their expectations with regard to
Oomrawuttee and Broach supplies are not likely to be realized,
and therefore they lower their last estimate, putting the ship¬
ments now to the 30th of June at about the same as during the
same period of last year, which would be 1,045,000 bales.
This
corresponds with their original estimate telegraphed us and pub¬
lished in the Chronicle of January 23. The receipts this week
are again very considerably less than they were the same week a
year ago, as will be seen by the above table.
Gunny Bags, Bagging, Etc.—During the past week the de¬
mand for baggiug has been very active, and considerable sales
are reported.
On spot we hear of 2,700 rolls at 12£c., and 4,500
rolls ai 12£c., and 150 half rolls at 12fc., all cash ; futures sold to
the extent of 500 rolls May delivery, at 13c.; 500 rolls June, at
13±c.; and 1,300 rolls July, at 12|$13c., time. The market closes
firm, with few lots offering, at 12Ac. cash in Boston, and 12fc.
New York for spot, and 13i@13^c. June and July delivery, with
holders not disposed to sell at these figures.
D unestic bagging
has been in good request, and we hear of sales of about 10,000
rolls, at prices varying from 12£c. spot cash to 13c. July delivery,
the market closing steady at 12|@121c. cash on spot, with a good
demand.
Bales have sold to the extent of 100 bales native at 91c.,
and 200 bales Borneo at 12£c. cash, the market closing steady at
these figures. Bags nominal at 121c. cash asked. Butts have
been in active demand, and sales are reported of about 13,000
bales since April 1, mostly to arrive, at 2(22!c. gold in bond.
On
