On the 1st of February, 1863, the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad,
the successors of the Sunbury & Erie Railroad Company (being at
that time open only about half its length) was leased to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for 999 years, from February 1, 1862,
with the understanding that the lessees should complete it to
Lake Erie and operate it at a cost of 70 per cent of the gross earnings, allowing the lessors 30 per cent for the payment of interest
on their funded debt. At the date of the lease upwards of
$10,000,000 had been expended on it. In 1864 the road reached
Erie City, at a cost to that date of nearly $18,000,000. Subsequent improvements and ever accruing interest has now raised
the cost of the road to upwards of $31,000,000. It is not, however as yet finished, and will require several millions additional

gradual and beneficial change. On the ground of being averse to
more leKlglative interference with private enterprise than is absolutely necessary, Mr. Jeula very justly says that he would not
control by law the depth to which a vessel should be laden, aa
this must ever vary with the alternation of seasons, variety of
cargo and difference of voyage but looking to the responsibility
resting upon the shipowner in relation to life and property, he
suggests that it would not be unreasonable to require the owner,
when he enters his vessel outwards at the Custom house, to declare his intention ot loading her to a certain depth for the voyage
for which he then lays her on
such depth it should be perfectly
voluntary for him to select, but when declared, it should, with
possibly a small and safe margin for unavoidable contingencies,
be binding upon him. This declaration, when published in the
various loading lists, would enable persons interested to ascertain,
to some extent at least, whether the declared intention wag a
proper one or not, while at present no general means are available
for forming a correct judgment as to loading prior, it may be, to
the vessel leaving the docks or dropping down the river, when insurances have all been e£fected, articles all signed and contiacta
all completed.

We have had a week of brilliant spring-like weather, and with
a continuance of it it is hoped that the ill effects of a wet autumn
and winter will disappear. Since the commencement of February
the weather has been seasonable, and vegetation has been kept in

Latterly, however, they have been able to make rapid progress,
but it is not probable that at so late a period wheat will be sown.
Some farmers may venture upon spring wheats, or April bearded
wheats, but it is more probable that barley will be selected, as
very high prices are now current for that commodity. In consequence of the fineness of the weather and a tolerably liberal
importation, the trade for all descriptions of cereal produce has

The spasmodic movements in money on call are, of course, very
unfavorable to any activity in commercial paper, and miscellaneous business in this direction is seriously checked. There has
been some business doing in the paper of standard, and wellknown borrowers, both mercantile and bankers, as the exceptionally favorable rates at which their three and four months' paper

rates are about 12 per cent for prime names.
Foreign advices are not unfavorable. Monetary affairs are

OFFICE OF FISK & HATCH,
Among the Southern State
State and Railroad Bonds
bonds, Tennessees are somewhat weaker and Virginias firmer.
There are no new developments affecting the values of Southern
securities, though we notice a new litigation in Virginia on the
part of foreign bondholders to compel the funding of their bonds
under the former law, and raising the question of tlie validity of
the recent law. Railroad bonds have been only moderately
active, the Union Pacifies being most largely dealt in, with some
considerable transactions in the Boston, Hartford and Erie first
mortgages.
It was seml-officially reported on Thursday that the New York
Central loan of £2,000,000 sterling, or $10,000,000, had been negotiated in London at about 96, gold.

OhloA Mississippi, vol
Ularliet. Just after our last report the price of
Tlio
gold was advanced on Saturday to 119^, the highest point reached
since the French and German war, iu the Summer of 1870. After
opening at 1 19^ on Monday the price declined and has been lower
ever since. The immediate cause for the falling ofFin gold appears
to be found in the f»ct that the clique sold largely to realize at
the high figures obtained but whether another upward turn
may not be started is very uncertain, and it is considered unsafe
to sell short. On Thursday the rales on gold loans till Saturday
ranged from 116to "flat" for carrying. The Treasury sold
11,500,000 on Thursday, the total bids amounting to $6,072,000.
The following is an extract from the new coinage law, which

107| for GO days, and 108} for short sight. The advance was
based on the larger mercantile demand and the better appearance
of the money market and lower gold.
The Timet says: " Congress having recently fixed the Mint
value of the £ sterling of Great Britain 'at 4 dollars 8G cents 6i
mills in American gold coin, its real weight at our Mint, it is
satisfactory to know that the same act forbids all recognition of
the present and long-accepted practice of calculating and selling
exchange on London on the conventional basis of 4 dollars 44
cenfs 4 mills to the £ sterlinj^ after the Ut of January next. All
contracts thereafter made on this basis are decl»red null and
void. The £ sterling or sovereign of Great Britain b»-ing now
worth 4 dollars 86 cents 6i mills, the actual par of exchange is
100 per cent, whereas the conventional value under the old
practice is made 1091 per cent. After next New-Year exchange
will be quoted at a discount or at a premium on the real par,
according to the ruling of the market. ThusJ what we now call
107} percent would be about 98 per cent, and what we call 110
per cent would be about 100} per cent."

our floating debt, the Board resolved during
create a second mortoage upon the property of the company, to
secure an issue of $3,000,000 in coupon bonds, bearing date October 1, 1873, at the rate of 7 per cent interest, and having thirty
years to run.
Thf se bonds are offered for 'sale to the holder.'* of our nonmortgage bonds at seventy-five per cent, payable one-third in
money and two-thirds in bonds at similar prices, the cash receipts
Irom the sale to be applied to the reduction of the floating debt.
The progress of the exchange in London of our sterling first
mortgage bonds for the State guaranty bonds of 36 and 66 has
been very satisfactory. At the date of our last report the exchange had reached £339,000. The latest d.ite of last year reports the figures as high as £393,000, leaving only about £30,000
unexchanged to complete this important transaction.

Saturday gold advanced to 119, while the receipts at the ports
were quite small. As a result, shipping orders to a considerable
extent came upon the market (although Liverpool was reported
quiet), and our quotations were advanced ^c.
On Monday, notwithstanding gold continned firm, this demand subsided, and
with receipts at the ports fuller, the tone was less favorable.
Tuesday and Wednesday, the same influence prevailing, and gold
also being lower, while Liverpool showed a partial decline, our
quotations were reduced ic.,returnlng to last Friday's figures. Yesterday the market was more steady, but q uiet, and to-day, being
Good Friday, the Exchange was closed. For future delivery the
fluctuations and recent decline have been more marked than in
cotton on tho spot, because the effects of a falling off in the
receipts and the speculation in gold have a freer scope, while the
money market and rates of freight and exchange do not come so
actively into the account. Therefore when cotton on the spot advanced |c. futures were up i@|c., and while the former was
declining |c., the latter fell off i@7-16c. Yesterday (Thursday)
there was a partial recovery, favored by a falling off in receipts and some advance in gold, but the demand was not brisk.
The prices for futures last reported were (basis low middling)
18 35-33c. for April, 19 l-16c. for May, 19|c. for June, and
19 9-16o. for July. The total sales of this description for the

The receipts have been 3,387 bales

Crop Estimates. We have, during the past week, received
—
several additional estimates of the total ot the present crop,
based upon the percentage of increase in the receipts tor the
remainlnig months. As stated on a previous occasion, we made no
attempt, in our figures, to vary the conclusion reached by any such
comparison, but simply gave the result ot the reports of oiir correspondents from each district, taking the minimum figure because
it is safer to err on that side.
are now, however, approaching
the period of exhaustion, and these compilations begin to possess
increased interest, as they are assuming a more close approx-
Here, then, in these three items, we have a probable increase
we can already see of, say 138,000 bales, which js about
equal to the total increase (140,000 bales) estimated above. Is
it not, therefore, pretty certain that the crop will be at least
3,721,000 bales, and probably somewhat in excess of that figure?
The exports ot cotton this week from New York show a decrease since last week, the total reacliing 10,581 bales, p.'jaiEst
12,960 bales last week. Below we give our usual table:

it will be noticed that all the increase we give
over last year from this time (which includes increase in receipts
at the ports, Southern consumption and overland) is 140,000 bali-s.
Now are there any indications that this is an understatement?
(1) Southern consumption last year was given in the crop stale

the mills bo as to place that suhject in tlie region of facts in the
meantime, however, it is well for us to remember that those who
are best able to judge of that matter in this city and Boston give
the year's consumption of tlie Southern mills at 140,000 to 150,000
bales if this estimate is correct we have in this one item an increase in the crop of from 30,000 to 30,000 bales. (2) At the seven
Southern interior poits Jthere was last week in sight 40,000 bales
in excess of the same week last year, and at the Northern ports
(such as Cincinnati, etc., which are not as yet included in the
port receipts) about 25,000 bales more, which gives us an increase
of 65,000 bales in sight, witlxout counting other intern r Southern
])ort8, all of which, so far as they have come to our notice, show
larger stocks that a year ago.
(3) It will be noticed in our gen"
eral table that the total receipts up to this time at " New York
and " Other ports " (which latter includes Boston, Baltimore, and
Philadelphia) are this year about 43,000 less than for the same
time a year ago hence, if the total overland movement is the
same as last year, 43,000 bales more must have gone direct to tlie
mills, and does not come into our receipts at the ports in other
words, if the overland mov^iment proves to have been as large as
last year, 43,000 bales \^ ill have to be added this ye^r to the

BRE ADSTUrFS,
Friday P. M., April II, 1878.
Flour ruled dull and weak until Wednesday. Receipts by rail
showed considerable increase, and the tendency was oownward.
Tlie general demand fell off, and buyers would not purckase, except to supply immediate wants. The little export demand that
was noted was from I^ondon and the West Indies. Under this
state of affairs prices experienced a slight and somewhat Irregular
decline. On Wednesday, however, the local trade bouarht much
more freely, and there was a general shipping demand trom the
British provinces, from Great Britain, and the West Indies, bnt
business was checked by the firmer views of hoMers. For good

next month trade will become more active and the stock be reduced somewhat. The current sales are chiefly of Greens, and prices on these are relatively steadier than on the other grades. Japans are selling to a very moderate extent, but are held with more firmness than Oolongs, which are very dull
