OUR FINANCIAL PROSPECTS.
Physiologists explain to us how it is that nervous stim¬
ulation, if carried beyond a certain pitch, causes exhaustion,
and even breaks down the delicate organism ot the human
body. Every day’s experience reveals a like danger in the
body politic. The financial organism is just as sensitive
as the human
body to excess of stimulus. This prin
ciple, carried into Wall street, helps us to understand much
that is disappointing the sanguine prophets of currency
expansion. The movements of the last few days abundantly
justify the cautions we have so often repeated for some time
past as to the effect on stocks and gold and other commodi¬
ties, which might be expected from the finance measures
under discussion in Congress.
What are the facts?
In the first place the April settlements all over the
Middle States have set up much less than the average

promise such high returns as to absorb capital and attract
it away from our bonds.
Here then we have one of
a multitude
of causes which are at work in Europe to the
detriment
of our securities, and tend to jostle fivetwenties and ten-forties out of the favored place they have so
long occupied in relation to European capital. Still making
due allowance for all these circumstances there is
too
much ground for the current report that in Europe some
thing more of distrust prevails just now than for some time
past towards American investments.
Of course we have
no desire to lay too much stress on this temporary tendency.
Before it can be fairly measured we must know how much
of it is due to the artificial efforts of the cliques to depress

Exchange. Still we cite the evidence for what it is worth,

Another fact of importance is that the national bank notes,
which vere accumulating here some time ago, have been got
rid of. Hence more than half the country orders for currency have had to be filled with greenbacks.
This accounts
for the fall in the greenback average of the banks to 57 gail
lions last week, with a possible further decline since.
The
highest greenback return since the panic was 62 millions on
the 28th of February. Prior to the panic the highest green¬
back average this year was 50 millions on the 2nd of
August. It appears then that, notwithstanding the April
drain to the country our New York banks are stronger in
greenbacks than they have been at any previous time this
year. They hold indeed 22 millions more of greenbacks
than at this time last year. We have here another illustra¬
tion of the profound uncertainty which was referred to above,
as being so widely disseminated among the mercantile and
financial community. It is not a little singular that in face
of this cautious conservatism which prevails all over the
oountry, the inflationists are keeping up the cry that new
issues of greenbacks will generate a new brood of bank
credits. When or how this genesis is to come about they do
not stop to find out. Everybody knows that the mere printing
of 44 millions of currency cannot of itself add one dollar to the
solid realized wealth of the country; and yet these numis¬
matic physiologists tell us that by some m^gic it will add
just 200 millions to the capital the banks now have to loan.
Aristotle declared that money was barren. It was left for

If this is the case with Mr. Coburn, of

of its logic or fidelity to truth. This speech aims to sum up
the chief arguments that have been urged for inflation in the

who made the statement
that the Wpst or the South had
plenty of capital.” “ What they want is currency,”
he said; but how they fail to buy currency, if they have
plenty of goods to procure it with, he wholly tailed to tell.
Without dwelling on this defective argument he declared
that he could see no safety in contraction of the currency,
and none in keeping the currency at its present limit.
Assuming that the capitalists of the South and West want
currency and cannot get it, a case of hardship was easily
made out. Something must be done for their relief. What
that something should be Mr. Coburn does not for a moment
doubt. Congress must act. The Senate bill should be
passed, creating more bank not?s and more greenback cur¬
rency. So far as it goes, this bill he deemed to be a
measure of relief.
As to the bank circulation, it were
better to add to it an extra fifty millions than to withdraw
from the notes now outstanding a single dollar. The&e notes
are a basis of bank loans.
If the notes were retired, the
loans would be called in to the ruin of business. For this
reason the bill of the Senate was right in that it did not
withdraw any bank notes, whether to replace them by green¬
backs or by other bank notes. Both sorts of currency should
rather be increased;—the former for the reasons just adduced ;
the latter because the great lesson of the September panic
was that there ought to be a reserve of currency in the Treas-*
ury within reach of the people.
As to the influence of such
excessive issues on specie payments, and as to the general
advantages of paper money, Mr. Coburn’s argument is sum¬

They seem to forget

errors on which the inflationists build their vast superstructicn of sophistry and error.
Their first error is that it is business. The first is capital, the second is currency, and

we defer.
Enough has been said for the present purpose.
But, secondly, the inflationists have another string to
their bow, and rest their hopes on a further fallacy. They
assume that if Congress can only be induced to issue more
currency, business will be sure instantly to revive.
This
popular error is very prevalent. Several journals which
pretend to oppose inflation have gone on, day after day,
helping it by urging Congress to do something to settle
the currency. If these prints were sincere in contending
against expansion they might better have asked Congress to
do nothing, to let the greenbacks alone, to keep their hands off
the sacred ark of the currency.
The clamors of the press
have been almost as powerful in destroying confidence,
unsettling public opinion and checking business as have the
inflationists and their combined forces in Congress.
Waiv¬
ing all this, however, and supposing that the currency were

section of whit used to be considered the very best cotton

do not, therefore, think it is at all exaggerated when it is
stated, as we see it frequently, that twenty.five per cent less
cotton will be planted in some of those sections this spring
than was planted last spring, and not unlikely fifty per cent

After long negotiations an agreement was made in the fall with
with the Riparian Commissioners of the State of New Jersey for
a full settlement of all controversies and suits by the payment of
$300,000.
For that
sum
this Company and The American Dock
and Improvement Company settled the title to this extensive and
valuable domain, as also to other lands under water. A difficulty
which arose in the carrying out of this agreement has, it is hoped,
been removed by the action of the Legislature, and that the
arrangement will now be perfected as speedily as possible/'

Philadelphia & Erie Railroad.— In 1881 an act was
passed, under which tlie title of the company was changed
to that of the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad Company; and in
November, 1861, the road, finished and unfinished, was leased to
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the term of 999 years,
for 30 per cent of tlie gross earnings, the lessees to complete the
road and take the stock and bonds of the lessor in payment for
their outlay.
This lease became operative in February, 1862.
Under these auspices the whole line from Sunbury to Erie was
satisfactorily completed and opened for traffic in October, 1864.
The road lias not been as successful as was anticipated, but of
late- years its traffic has been rapidly developed, and it is now
hoped that in a few more years the earnings will be sufficient
to pay dividends to the stockholders.

By the report of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company,
they have expended on roadway, in relaying new iron rail (68
pounds weight) on 50 miles of the road, to fit it for an increase of
trade, $142,777 86—relaying 5,055 7-20 tons of iron. The amount
expended as per their report during the year on roadway, in addi¬
tion to new iron, was $207,906 40. With the developments taking
place on the main line of their road, and other enterprises in pros¬
pect, we feel that the lessees are placing the road in a position to
largely increase its business, and thus make the road remunerative
to themselves as well as to us.
Franklin B. Gowen, Esq., Presi¬
dent, in his annual report, thus speaks of the road: “ It will prob
ably require an additional expenditure of $ 100,000 to place the entire
line of the Catawissa Railroad in* as good condition as that of the
other lines of the company ; after which it is believed that the re¬
ceipts upon the leased lines will be sufficient to cover rent and all
expenses, apart from the benefit derived by the company from
securing perpetually the traffic of the branch of its main line.”

—The Galleon Treasury Company, incorporated under the laws
of the State of New York, advertises its prospectus in another
:column of the Chronicle.
This company is certainly calculated
to draw the interest ot the public towards its undertaking more
RAILROAD COMPANY.
The undersigned are prepared to receive the Income
the Union Pacific Railroad Company in exchange for
Bonds of
the New
Sinking Fund Mortgage Bonds, giving $6,000 of the new issue
for $5,000 of the old.
The new bonds bear'interest at eight per
cent currency, or seven per cent sterling, at the option of the
holder, and are secured by a mortgage of the road, its equipment
and franchise, subject to tbe first mortgage and the Government
lien; also by a second mortgage upon the land, and by the opera¬
tion of the Sinking Fund.
The indenture of mortgage provides that one per cent of the
Sinking Fund Bonds issued and outstanding shall annually be
drawn by lot and redeemed at par.
,
In order that the proposed exchange of bonds may be effected
promptly, and upon the fairest possible terms to the Income
Bond holder, the Directors have also’ determined to make a cash
adjustment of the first payment of interest, so that the bond¬
holder shall receive for the first maturing coupon upon the new
bonds (due September 1 next) precisely the same interest that he
would be entitled to receive on - the corresponding coupon of the
Income Bonds.
This proposition may be more intelligible if
stated
as
follows:
Five Income Bonds will draw as interest on the 1st of September
?
Six Sinking Fund Bonds will draw as interest on the 1st of September...

The Directors consider the new Sinking Fund Bond so desirable

of the galleons, with about $37,000,000 in treasure, were burned
and sunk in the harbor, where they still remain, and only an

closely than ever upon the course of affairs at Washington. The
Senate has finally passed a bill, and the House at the moment we
write is engaged in discussing the banking and currency bill,
having refused to lay it on the table by a tie vote, decided by
Speaker Blaine in the negative. The Senate bill reads as follows,
and was pass ed by a vote of 29 to 24 :
the maximum amount of United

is hereby fixed at
$400,000,000.
Sec. 2. Tiiat $46,000,000 in notes for circulation in addition to such circula¬

per cent temporary loan certificates, and for an increase of National Bank
Notes,” approved July 12, 1870; and each National Banking Association now
organized, or hereafter to be organized, shall keep and maintain as a part of
its reserve required by law one-fourth part of the coin received by it as inter¬

be the result of the vote in the House, the busi¬
ness community will at least give devout thanks if it settles the
vexed question which has so long been pending as a hindrance to
commercial and financial transactions.
Our Money market was rather firmer early in the week, but
subsequently became quite easy again, lending at 3@4 per cent
on call, and at 4 per cent on time loans for three months secured
by collateral. To-day there was more firmness, with rates up to
4£ in the morning and as high as 6 in exceptional cases this
afternoon, but closing at 4 per cent. Commercial paper is quiet,
there not being much first-class paper offered, and rates ruling at
5£ to 7 per cent for prime names. Considerable complaint is
made among dry goods men ol the difficulty of collections in the

Eastern and Boston and Maine Railroads.—The contract
Railroads was signed,

This prevents competition, except east of Portland. By the
terms of the contract, an executive committee of three from each

all receipts of whatever description from the specified places will

Company which they could legally hold, in order to secure the

Plymouth Kankakee & Pacific.—For some time past the owners
of the bonded iudebtedness have taken legal steps looking to the
collection of their debt, and selling the road upon the mortgage.
The indebtedness amounts to about $400,000, and a meeting was
recently held for the purpose of agreeing on a new basis of settle¬
The floating indebtedness is to be paid off by placing

long. Over 60 miles of this distance, from the Connecticut River
to West Concord and Hyde Park, trains are now running regu¬
larly. Five miles more are completed at the extreme Western
end ; 25 miles more are ready for the rails, while the grading of
the whole line is nearly completed.
This division can easily be
put in readiness for through business, it will be seen, by the time
the eastern division is ready.”
The managers of this road are anticipating a large through
business on its completion, and they base their expectations on
the existing contract of traffic guaranty with the Eastern Rail¬
road, on the large summer travel of pleasure seekers, and the
heavy freight traffic from Montreal to Portland in Winter. The
grain business of the latter city seems to be in a fair way to
increase in future to very large proportions.

Memphis & Charleston Railroad.—It was stated recently
that the “ Southern Security Company ” desired to surrender its
lease of this railroad, as it had its Richmond & Atlanta Air Line.
The Memphis Appeal of the 1st inst. says: The Charleston Rail
road goes back to the stockholders.
We hear that the final
arrangement was extremely satisfactory. Something like $160,000 was claimed as coming to the stockholders if they took the
road back.
We hear that they get $70,000 in money. 3.500 acres
real estate, and other property to the amount of $120,000.
The
road is restored with a portion new ironed, the rolling stock
increased and improved, buildings in better condition, and sewers

as they require small amounts to reassort
demand for the more staple descriptions of
only
r
as the requirements of jobbers are necessarily
small. The feeling is steadier, however, at the recent reductions
in prices, and buyers operate to the extent of their necessities
with perfect confidence in the maintenance of values.
It is
thought by many there will be an early reaction, and that prices
will be advanced by a speculative demand as the current range
of values on the better qualities of goods is believed to be lower
than the position of the market warrants. Standard fabrics are
undoubtedly low, and with raw cotton at its present cost there
could be little if any margin for profits to the manufacturer. No
notable changes have been made during the week, and prices are
for the most part steady at the quotations of last week.
The print cloth market has stiffened somewhat under an im
proved demand, and sales are reported at 5§<a>5£c. for standards
The movement in prints has been fairly active, at previous rates
the only change being in Cocheca's, which have been markec.
down to correspond with the other makes.
Other cotton goods are quiet and wholly unchanged.

have been as follows:

....
grades of goods for the tailoring trade; and
moderate aggregate business in fancy cassimeres and worsted
coatings is reported. Cloths and doeskins are rather dull.
The demand from the clothing trade for heavy weight goods
for their fall stock has begun, but not with much activity. There
are plenty of opportuuities to pick up stock, at very reasonable
figures ; but the outlook does not seem to indicate any probable
advance; and as the future of the clothing trade is not particu¬
larly encouraging, there is nothing to induce clothiers to operate
on a very liberal scale.
Wool is dull, and rather easy, though
quotations do not show any material decline.
Otli *r branches of the woolen goods trade are quiet but steady.
Dress fabrics sell fairly and are firmly held. There is a light
inquiry for flannels and blankets, but quotations are to a consider¬
able extent nominal as few transactions of any magnitude have
been made as yet.
Foreign Goods.—The market has been quiet, but the feeling
continues steady, and nearly all lines of goods are held with
considerable firmness, The importations during the season have
not been excessive, and although the trade has ruled light suffi¬
cient business has been done to keep the stock of dress fabrics
well under control. Silks also exhibit considerable firmness, and
for a few weeks past have been moving more freely. The weather
is altogether unfavorable for a good retail trade, and until it
becomes warmer no great activity is anticipated.
The importations ot dry goods at this port for the week ending
April 9, 1874, and the corresponding weeks of 1873 and 1872
