Seventh That the proposed aseessment is not only an unequal tax upon the banks themselves, but th»t it will operate as a special and oppressive burden upon the commercial community, and is, therefore, subversive of the very purposes of taxation. Resolved, That the legal counsellors of the various banks be requested to meet Judge Emott, the counsel of the Tax Committee, at the Cleariug-House, on Wednesday (to-morrow), at $ o'clock, to confer together upon such method of legal proceedings — as shall most effectually meet the necessities of the case. There is a feeling which to some extent prevails, that all which can be obtained from corporations by taxation or free services is lawful gain, and a saving to other taxpayers or the general public. So in some of the Western States, a few months back, it was believed that railroadscould and must be made to serve the people indefinitely; but in that case a little experience appeared to throw new light on the subject, and the error was soon seen? and aoknowledged.

But this did not suit, because there would be nearly as much lost on the stocks that were below par, as gained on those which were above. There would, however, have been, in the law, the semblance of authority for such a proceeding, whereas now there does not seem to be the least basis or and liquidation, probably doubtful debts ; if — • excuse for the action taken. Besides, this action appears to be in direct violation of the United States law. Bat we forbear entering upon the involved. It is sufficient to know legal questions that the assessors were no way required by the State law to take the step they have taken, that law having rested, without any protest from the Legislature, under a different construction for ten years; and that public policy, and the interest of every business man in the State, demand that the banks be left free to increase their surplus, and not be driven by taxation to divide it among their shareholders. There is no law to prevent the State banks making such division at once; and the National associations can also, in the game way, bring tlieir accumulations down to twenty per cent. In fact, all this is being done now. Surely, no one ever heard of a better device for placing a premium on bad banking. But it may be a»ked, should there be no limit to these untaxed accumulations? We reply, that very likely there should be. To say, however, where the line is to be drawn, is an extremely delicate question; one, in the in very hopeful prospect. attained —and there is If the end sought can be really every reason now to suppose it be- -we look for a decided change in the business at Orleans.

For instance, the Mississippi & Do- minion steamers, which run between New Orleans and Liverpool, are never loaded to their carrying capacity. They fill up with cotton, and load down to, say, 19 feet; but, remove the bar, and they will carry, jusi about the same amount of cotton, and put in wheat as dead weight, loading down to 22 feet.

S61 163 Si 170 340 It would appear from the above that the work has been renewed on the most extensive scale, and probably the dulness and depression in the principal markets which have prevailed for th& past month, may be attributed as much to the prospect which in thus afforded that production will be increased materially, as tothe fact that present prices are relatively high. There is another circumstance which causes dulness. The trade has become so well regulated, and the nature and sources of the supply she gradually obtaining the blessings of good government, but she has arranged her city debt which has long been troubling her. The States which are her near neighbors, and in great part tributary to her, have also been able to throw ofE their imported officials, and are free now to develop their resources. A ^ood illustration of the results likely to flow from this change, so well understood, that it is not regarded as necessary to carry may be seen in the history of Arkansas the past twelve excessive stocks, and yet the stocks of petroleum at sources of months.

The shipments from New York to in 1872 were only 100,230 gallons, but in 1874 they were The exports of petroleum from New York in 4,180,619 gallons. 1875 were some ten million gallons smaller th»n in 1874, but there was at the same time an increase of about eight million gallons to German, French and English ports, leaving a fallinjr Sweden off of eighteen million gallons to be distributed among the Baltio- and Mediterranean ports and the more distant or inconstant markets of the world which deficit was in part made good, however, by more liberal shipments from other ports of the United States; and it is to be noted that China and Japan increased the quantity shipped to them from New York. It will be observed that the price of naphtha has not followed the fluctuations in crude and refined petroleum, and that the export for 1875 was much larger than in either of the two preceding years. Germans invented a lamp, in which, it is stated, and at one time it was that naphtha may be safely burned employed to a considerable extend in the manufacture of gas, but the indifferent results produced, and the lower prices of coal and other articles employed in gas works, have caused naphtha to beused less freely than formerly. The conclusions to be drawn from this array of facts aro not veryobvious, and do not open up the near future of prices very clearly. Yet some assurance may be felt that prices at least are not likely to experience so great a decline as occurred in the summer of 1875. The producers have demonstrated to themselves and toconsumers, what may be acomplished by concert of action ia reducing production. Petroleum is aa article of such acknowledged merit that its c-jnsumption is quite certain to increase, tiU ; ; « . . : THE CHRONICLE April 22, 1876.] become shall coBt its so make other means great as to of Its substitution for gas, comparatively cheap.

It is very probable, illumination which the work of drilling wells has been resumed, that current prices are highly remunerative, and that some decline is expected, and even desired, as a means of stimulating the demand to meet the increased production which will no doubt take place. It will be an interesting question, how far the new wells will add to the supply. Should the increased yield be considerable, efforts to extend the knowledge of the article and increase its consumption will be encouraged, as assurance will be afforded that supplies may be incr«ased with the growth from the of the activity with demand. toteat fllonetarg anit <ttominercial (KngliBl) Neroa UXtKHOr B.YOHANGB AT LONDON, AND ON LONlfON AT LATEST D.ITES.

Egypt in reestablishing her Prosperity, resulting credit. will find great from abundant harvests of cotton and cereals, will, of course, aid her materially, but the country is not an inviting one, and thn progreES must be slow. The fear is that Egypt is so low in linancial embarrassment, that many years of extreme carefulness and watchfulness over the revenue and expenditure are necessary ; while more honesty is imperative amongst the various officials, who, it is feared, from the insecurity of their positions, have, like in most Eastern countries, enriched themselves when they had the opportunity. To break through these abuses and to inaugurate a sound system of finance, will undoubtedly be an arduous task not only because heavy liabilities exist, and the revenue is inadequate to meet them, but because, also, Egypt ia wanting in men of capacity to propose aud carry out the was increasing, owing to the payment of the dividends, and gold was accumulating somewhat rapidly in the vaults of the Bank of England. The prospect is that money will remain easy for a long time to come. Trade remains exceedingly quiet, and there is but little prospect of new schemes being introduced to public notice, which will have the effect of causing money to leave the country.

Mr. Cave says, however, that, with the exception of the Suez Canal, Egypt has very little to show for the money she has borrowed, a remark published, but it is not only new, but is disappointing to th^ bondholders, as the opinion was very general that the Government had made very fair use of the proceeds of the various loans.

Telegraph known to our citizens that during the past week quite a number of cases of the city against delinquent tax-payers have been tried in tbe District Court. lu one of these cases, tried on Friday, tbe question of the city's power and authority to create a sinking fund of one per cent to pay tbe interest on the consolidated bonds was raised. Judge Masterson ruled that the Court refused in any way to interfere with this one per cent sinking fund, and further ruled that tbe city had the power and authority, under the law, to arrange with its creditors and issue this consolidated bond In other cases, tbe Court also denied the light of parties to offset th»ir taxes in coupons of the old bonds. This settles the legality of the city's action in compromising with its creditors, fundine its debt and issuing a new bond therefor. Allegheny Valley.

S. Treasury; the appearance of Secretary Bristow's circu'ar, inviting proposals for $5,883,000 of the 5 per cent bonds of 1881 on Monday next; and the continued depression in our stock market. As to the silver payments, there 's little new to be said beyond the details of the matter, which are, chiefly, that no smaller amount of fractional currency than $5 is taken for exchange, and no larger amount than $100 in one lot, 13 paid out at the SubTreasury, larger amounts than $100 being paid at Washington. During Thursday there was paid out altogether about $10,000 to some 150 pariies, and to-day about $17,000 to 190 different applicants. The circular of Secretary Bristow, quoted below, has caused a good deal of discussion, mainly from his limitation of the bids to a minimum of .$500,000 each, and the requirement of payment in gold. The objection urged to these provisions, particularly the first one, is that it practically shuts out home investors, and throws the purchase into the hands of bankers very probably some of the leading houses with foreign connections. .There is a diilerence of opinion between the Secre tary and many bankers in this city regarding the effect of this he thinking that a higher price will thus be obtained, while the latter hold that he ciuld do much better to make the loan popular and accept bids in currency for moderate amounts. t; A & & & & A & & ^£'" lit. laoji • 111 121 6s, 5«, 1 imscrllaiieoa*.

Ballroad and TlUcellaneoua Stocks. — The stock market has continued to show great depression, and on some stocks the lowest prices of the season liave been reached. The weakest specialties have been the coal-carrying railroad stocks, New Jersey Central and Delaware Lackawanna & Western, and the trunk lines. Lake Shore and Michigan Central. As to the railroad companies interested in the anthracite coal trade, it is evident that the long depression in all kinds of manufacturin? business,. assisted by tlie recent mild winter, has so reduced the demand for coal that even their close combination is not sufficient to keep up receipts. It is al.so well known that these companies, as a class, have been amonsf the largest borrowers ever since the ganic, and their annual interest charge is heavy. On the other and, they control completely the anthracite coal trade, and it seems but a question of time when the demand for this coal must again increase to such an extent as to pay them large profits. There are many who think that the last dividend payments by New Jersey Central and Philadelphia & Reading were extremely ill-advised. The disagreement among the officers of leading trunk railroads from Chicago to the East, has been one of the principal causes of depression, and as the matter now rests, it is understood that the combination lately existing is broken ap, and each company is making its own rates. The responsibility for this break is commonly charged to Commodore Vanderbilt, but the precise facts leading to the disagreement are not well known. It does not appear that the " war" applies to the roads running to St. Loais, - .. : ~ — : from Chicago stated that the officers of those companies had formed a combination among themselves to keep •up rates on business to and from that citjr.

Gold has shown very little animation, though at one time there was some talk about a possible twist in the market, when the Government sale of bonds takes place next Monday. On gold loans the rates paid for carrying today were 2, li, and 1 per cent, and loans were also made flat. The pavment of silver in exchange for fractional currency is hardly referred to as having any important influence on the gold market.

"Again, as to west bound business " The tables show an increase of tonnage 4,5S3 tons, and a decrease of earnings of |3,805 73. " This maintenance of tonnage in the comparison of the Westbonnd business of the two years is due, first, to the fact of an increased movement of fertilizers, 4,874 tons ; and, second, to a very heavy diversion of western produce from the Green Line Bonte to the Route via Biltimore and Charleston, created by the contest between the Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsylvania Kailroads during the year.

The charges to construction account have been mainly for new machinery in the shops of the company, fireproof vault at Ionia, geneial offices at Detroit, and new water station. The road, including the track and the road-bed, has been kept in good condition, and, on the whole, improved during the year. The net earuingfs of the road durinjr the past two years have been insufficient to provide for the half coupon interest proposed in th<> lunding plan dated Dec. 15, 1873, and at the same time do justice to the property in the interest of its bondholders. At the close of the last financial year this deficit, with interest, amounted to about $75,000, represented by withheld coupons. The greater J)ortion of this amount has since been paid, but as the spring receipts of the road are always light, no available funds are lelt applicable at present (April) to payment of coupon interest due ^pril 1, 1876. A notice has been sent to bondholders to that effect. As may be seen from this and former reports, basing the net Teceipts of this year upon the depressed state of trade existing during the past two years, a fair proportion of the interest of the Brst mortgage bonds should be earned (applicable to dividends to the bondholders) during the year.

It provides that the capital stock is to be fixed and limited at $3,500,000, on which the lessee is to pay dividends of 7 per cent, annually. The clause of the old lease giving 25,000 shares a preference is annulled, and in consideration thereof the lessee, whenever the $1,000,000 Albany city bonds are paid off, is to apply the $70,000, now paid annually into the sinking fund, to the payment of additional dividends on the stock, making them 9 per cent, annually. The Albany & Susquehanna Company is to execute a first consolidated mortgage for $10,000,000 to the Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, as trustee, the bonds to bear 6 or 7 per cent, interest, as may be deemed best, and to have 30 years to run.

A bill has been introduced in Congress to provide a plan for the settlement of the debt due to the Government by this company, which is much similar in tenor to the proposition of Mr. Huntington, of the Central Pacific. It provides that the company shall sell all its lands, west of the 100th meridian, to the Governmeat, at the fixed jJrice of $2 50 per acre. The company is also to pay $1,000,000 in cash and such further sums, from time to lime, as shall produce, at the maturity of the bonds, a sum sufficient to pay the entire amount of principal and interest which will then be due.

This tax amounts to one dollar and seventy cents on each coupon of thirty dollars, or five and two-fifths per cent. the coupons being received at 94,60 per cent, of their par value in payment of taxes. A portion of the coupons from non-resident bonds have heretofore been exempt from this tax by being accompanied by evidence of owuersbip; but the proportion of this realized by the bondholder has beeii very small. The profit was made by the dealers. This has been stopped by the present law, and the quotation of coupons will in consequence be uniform in the future. They have been in steady demand during the spring. They will probably advance on the — payment of May licenses.

It was finally arranged to pool the gross earnings on all competition business to and from St. L^uis on the basis of the earnings of the various roads for the years 1873, 1874 and 1875. The roads coticerned in the arrangement are the Ohio & Mississippi, Chicago & Alton, Toledo & Wabash, Vandalia, and the Indianapolis & St. Louis. An executive board, composed of J. C. McMuUin, of the Chicago & Alton; J. E. Simpson, of the Vandalia, and E. Waldron, of the Ohio & Mississippi, was electei,. with power to agree upon a tariff to be observed. The new arrangement was to go into effect immediately. nth —A Chicago press despatch, April 19, says of the meeting of of trunk lines from that city, that on account of the failure of the pool lines to adjust amicably their difficulties, and owing to the disputes which arose iu the meeting held here last week and that held in New York on Tuesday, the pool has broken. Mr. Joy telegraphed the agent for the Michigan Central to day to protect the road. The agent did so by taking freight at a reduction of 5 cents for fourth class to New York. The other roads followed, and fourth class freight was taken in some cases as low as 30 cents, a reduction of 10 cents. managers : TSE chuqniclr Ap:il 22, 1876.) ®l)« : 401 COTTON. Commercial ^Timcs.
