about 163 millions net, and in 1873 they are estimated at 175 millions net. Hence it appears that the net earnings of our railroads,

of net annual wealth to the accumulated riches of the country ?
A dozen years ago, before the war, this increase was estimated at
1,0000 millions a year. It cannot be less now. Perhaps it is
much more. Out of so large a mass of new wealth we can surely

the exemption jf these bonds from taxation.
On no

power to tax the holders of the bonds for Federal

The
chief objections to this
exemption were
first, that such concessions are regarded as
bad policy, and are never made by Governments in good
credit, so that they do not help the sale of bonds abroad,
while they are of

This objection has been fully verified by the slow sale of the

examlnailon. with the explanations made to me by you, showed cU^arly, as I
thought aud still think, that the idea of defrauding the Government of its
lawful duties had never entered your minds, while doing a portion of your
business in a manner which the courts would declare to be in conflict with the
statutes. I was confirmed in this by the very meagre amount of duties \o4t to
the Government in a business with you of many millions of doll:;rs during
the period of five years iu which the alleged irregalarities oocurred, and during which you had paid to the Government several millions of dollars in
duties, ih'^ whole amount lost by the alleged fraud fell short of the eum of
three thousand dollars.
I have since learned (a fact which 1 did not know at the time) th.nt by applying the same rule of valuation adopted by you, and which in the instances
covered by the settlement resulted in an undervaluation to the same goods in
other invoices imported during the same period, the result has In tho«e cases
been an overvaluatioi), upon which the Government received duties beyond
what would liavo been payable under the correct rule of valuation loan
amount very considerably in excess of the duties lost. This fact has confirmed my conviction of your entire innocence in Ihe whole business of any
actual intent to defraud.
In conclusion, I beg leave to add that during my connection with the office
of the U. 8. Attorney I knew of no case in which such a prompt and
earnest desire to court and aid investigation, to correct any error, and right

atirac*.ed considerable attention in this
market, and has led some
an export of gold hence.
A
threatened strike in the Yorkshire coal district has been
averted by the arbitrator, who had been called in to settle the
having decided that an advance of 7i per cent in the rate
of wages would constitute a fair settlement. The South Staffordshire colliers were to abide by this decision so it may now be
hoped that disputes in the coal districts have temporarily ceased.
The price of coal is falling, and with the return of Spring, and of
mild weather, a considerable reduction is anticipated. It is said
that very large supplies of coal have been raised to the surface,
and the probability is, that as many firms and private individuals
have accustomed themselves to economise, some difficulty is
likely to be experienced in marketing them, more especially as the
Winter is now fairly passed. Besides which, the consumption in
the manufacturing districts is smaller than for sometime past, the
high price of fuel current during the Winter months having not
only checked materially, but also diminished the extent of our
dispute,

The New Jei*sey General Railroad Law.—The following
summary of tho bill as finally passed is Irom an official copy It
prescribes that any number of persons, not less than thirteen, can

of the directors (to be thirteen in number, a majority of whom
must be residents of the State), the time the corporation is to
continue, and the amount of the capital stock, which cannot be

less than .$10,000 per mile.
Rssoci.'ition to the Secretary of State to be filed, the company
shall become a legal corporation, with all the powers conferred
upon corporatiors by the general law, and also power to lake and
tho neces.sary lands, lay out and build the road, &e. The
however, shall not be filed until affidavit is made to the
Secretary of State by five directors that $3,000 per mile of stock
has been subscribed and 10 per cent paid in. No stock subscriptions shall be received unless 10 per cent of the amount is paid in
at the time of subscribing. There shall be 13 directors, who
shall appoint a President, Secretary, and other necessary officers,
but every director shall be a bona fide stockholder.
Provision is made for forfeiting stock on which assessments remain unpaid after due notice. The capital stock may be increased
at any time by a vote of two-thirds of the stockholders at a meeting called for the purpose, but only to the amount actually required for the construction and maintenance of the road. The
company shall be liable for debts incurred by contractors for
labor, but any amounts so recovered directly from the company

our net results. Thc! developments on the new line of road,

all other respects tho extension to \Villiams])ort has realized our
expectations; tho working thereof has proven the permanent
character of tho construction; the steel rails and four-bolt joints
used have shown themselves, thus far, as capable of performing
all that was anticipated.
On the 10th of October, 1873, a lease and contract was entered
into between this company and tho Philadelphia & Reading Ilailroad Company for nine hundred and ninety-nine years; they to
take possession of tho road on November 1, for terms and conditions of which see copy of lease appended to this rejjort.
13y authority of tho Act of tho Legislature of Pennsylvania,
approved the thirtieth day of March, 1800, accepted by the stockholders at their last meeting and in pursuance of the authority
conferred upon your Board of Directors, it was deemed expedient
to issue one million of preferred stock, entitled to receive dividends as follows: For tho year commencing November 1, 1873,
two and one-third per cent; forthe year commencing Nov. 1, 1874,
four and two-thirds per cent, and for the year commencing November 1, 1875, and thereafter seven per cent. By tlu; terms of the
lease an amount is guaranteed sufficient to paj- this, as well as
the regular seven per cent per annum dividends on the old preferred stock, and the interest and taxes on tho several mortgage
bonds of the company. According to the conditions thereof, with
the ability on tho part of our lessees to aid in the developments
necessary for increase of trade, and the security thus afforded to
parties interested as to the perman'nry of tho facilities offered,
we confidently expect such an increase of business in time as to
make all our securities paying investments.
The action of tho Board was approved, and tho meeting adjourned.

containing statements of all the Marine insurance companies of
New York, made up from the official report of the State Superintdndent of the Insurance Department. The following table
shows the several scrip issues outstanding Jan. 1, 1873:

but the passenger fares must not exceed three cents per mile (no
single fare, however, need be less than ten cents), and the rates
for any description of freight between two way stations, or a way
and a terminal station, must not be greater than those charged
for the same class of freight between the terminal stations.
The
necessary land for stations, workshops, &c., may be taken, not ex
ceeding ten acres at any one place.
No company can occupy the road or lands of another company
without its consent, nor cross any other railroad at a less angle
than 45 degrees.
Bonds may be issued to any amount not greater than that of

yet felt in a reduction of rates, it is well known that a continuance of it must soon produce the desired effect of relieving the

There was on Wednesday a feeling of depression in consequence of the break in stocks and the failure of quite a prominent
firm of stock brokers, following upon the failure of Messrs.

recovery in tone soon took place, and to-day there was a more
generally cheerful feeling on the street than we have noticed for
some time past. The excessive rates for money, so long main

brokerage firms, ani it is rather an evidence of strength that
more firms have not been obliged to suspend. The rates paid for
money ranged J, ^, 4, 1-16 per cent a day on Monday; on Tuesday

rates for money. Virginia bond.s are firmer, and some forei'in
ordcs have been noticed^in our market. The .\labanm Legislature has passed a law to give one straight 7 per cent jjold boul of
the State in exchange for four indorsed railroad Ixuuls, and

law are certainly very extraordinary, aud are regarded here as
impossible to be carried out.

active from various causes. In the first part of the week the
necessity of getting money induced the sale of a good many
bonds, a part of which were probably borrowed for the purpose,
or according to the common phrase, sold " short." During the
past two days the demand to cover those sales, as well as the
steady demand from foreign purchasers, has caused a shar;)
inquiry, and the market is almost bare of the populsr coupon
issues.
Large estimates are made of the amount of bonds sent
abroad since the first of January, and some well-informed p irties
place it at $20,000,000. There was no Treasury purchase this

unnettled feeling culminated in a material break in priced and

cause for this break was found in the failure of Messrs. Barton &
Allen, a stock-brokerage firm of some prominence, to whose suspension an undue importance was attached for a time from the

real causa for the break in stocks, however, was the longcontinued tiglit money market, and while three very refipi-otable
firms of stock brokers have suspended, it is only remarkable that
many more and larger failures have not occurred. In the decline
of prices and serai-panic which occurred as above noticed the
lowest figures were generally reached on Wednesday, wlien New

TUe Gold market.— The
general tendency of gold, until today, was weaker, and from 118}, the closing orice on Saturday,
the 13th inst., a decline was made to !17 on Thursday. To-day a
new firmness was developed, and the price advanced to li8J,
under purchases reported to be for account of the bull party.
The cause for lower gold early in the 5veek was generally attributed to the fact that some of the clique had sold, and that the
payment of May interest by the Government, and the approaching payment of the Alabama claims by England, woulil largely
increase the supply; the la.it-naraed infitfence. however, we
hardly think will affect our gold market very soon.
The rates paid for carrying gold to-day were 7,0, 4, 1-83 and 7
gold.
Thursday, the Treasury sold $1,500,000, the total bids amounting to 12,180,000.
Customs receipts of the week amount to $2^4,000.
The following
table will
each day of the past week
show the course

par
exchange market has been un-
and variable, and at times very much depressed. On
Thursday the leading drawers reduced their rates to 107i for 60
days, and 108^ for demand bills. Money became easier in the
afternoon, the exchange market becoming firmer. This morning
the leading drawers advanced their rates to 107f far sixty days'
sterling, and 108^ for sight
but this advance checked the demand. The highest rate at which long sterling actually sold was
settled
;
107^, but sight sold close to the asking rate, transactions being
reported at lOSj to 108j. It was reported to-day from London
that £150,000 sterling in gold had been shipped to New York
against some purchases of exchange at the extreme low rates of
yesterday.
The influences chiefly depressing exchange have been the close
money market, and the appearance of Kome borrowed bills and
the return of a settled condition of financial affairs will be followed by a material rise in prices.

Year ended December
31, 1872.
The Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad is a consolidation,
dated May 1, 1868, of the Steubenville & Indiana, the Holliday's
Cove, and the Pan Handle Railroads. It is leased and operated
under control of the " Pennsylvania Company." That portion of
the road between Newark and Columbus, 33 miles, is owned by
the P. C. & St. L. Railroad Company in common with the Cen,
tral
Ohio Company.
The basis of the consolidation of May 1, 1868, was: Capital
stock, 200,000 shares at $50 per share, $10,000,000; and funded
debt, 1st mortgage 7 per cent bonds due August 1, 1890, $10,000,000, making a total of $20,000,000.
Of the new Ist mortgage
bonds $3,775,000 are reserved for the purpose of taking up a
similar amount of old mortgage bonds, the latter having the
immediate privilege of being converted into the new consolidation
bonds.
On December 1, 1869, the P., C. & St. Louis Railway Company
took a lease of the Little Miami (and Columbus & Xenia) Railroad
at a rental of 8 per cent on $6,000,000 stock and interest on the
bonded
debt.
Previously (February 12, 1868) the P. C. & St. Louis Railway
Company leased the Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Central RailRoad. The lease stipulates for the full maintainanco of the
road and equipment, and the payment to the lessors of 30 per cent
of gross earnings.
But in no one year is this rental to be less
than 7 per cent on $15,000,000 first mortgage bonds, and $821,000
second mortgage bonds.

Spinners' Takings and the Overland Movement We
have been asked to state the amount which has been taken by
spinners up to this time, and therefore give the following, which
does not include the telegraph figures ol to-night. The overland,
direct to the mills, we put at 48,000 bales more than last year,
because up to the present time the movement, by rail, to New
York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia, is that amount short
of laot year. The stock held by spinners we leave the same at
the end as at the beginning of the year.

the foregoing it would appear that compared with last

compared with the corrasoouding period of 1873.
Our Bombay dispatch to-day states that the reports with regard
to the outturn of the crop continue very favorable.
Bags, Bagging, &c.— The market for bagging has
ruled quiet, and no large transactions have been made. The
only sales reported are the filling of small orders. The quoted
price here is 13c cash, but 12|c cash micht effect a purchase in
Boston. The asking price for future deliveries is 14^15c. In
bags we have no transactions to report, the price being l,5@15ic
according to weights. The transactions in butts have been limited during the past week.
Small lots of 100 to 200 bales have
been sold, aggregating perhaps to about 750 to 1,000 bales at
So.Cftsh, and 2i@3 3-16o time.

more
This stock does not come in very freely as yet, but
advance lots are arriving and are placed with very little delay. The trade In
refining molasses is still restricted by the Illiberal ofl'erings, the stock of Cuba
being In a very reduced condition. Refiners show some desire to operate at
the recently lowered prices, and their purchases would doubtless be on a
more liberal scale if the stock were to be had. The inquiry for domestic continues good, and our stock is gradually becoming less. As yet prices have not
advanced materially, but with the supply on hand and the very small stock
which is yet to come forward from the Soutli there is likely to be such a
scarcity as will result in considerably higher rates, and holders who arc In an
easy financial condition at the moment show but little anxiety to press their

few, and unimportant. Colored cottons are in fair request, and
with stocks tolerably well reduced prices are fully sustained. The

though sales are on a somewhat restricted scale. The business
of the season thus far has "oeen fairly satisfactory, both as regards
the volume of sales and prices. Cloths have now settled down to
a point where printers can make good profits, though the bulk of

although the branch in which they were engaged has not been a
profitable one during the present season. Tlie high price of gold
and decline in goods is unfavorable for trade, and importers are
feeling rather discouraged at their prospects, a fact that augurs a

most part nominally unchanged. The better
qualities of fancy cassimeres have met fairly active sale, and the
supply now held by agents is small. Lower grades continue in
over stock, and are nominal. Holders would sell at pretty easy
rates, but there is not demand enough to warrant any material
reduction of rates. Clotlis are steady and sell only in a small
way. Clothiers are buying very sparingly of Winter goods, and
