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

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&

There is

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,

the indifferent results produced, and the lower prices of coal and

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

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.

This increase is largely
for 1874, an increase oi $283,230 75.
owing to tbe fact that this division was only in operation for
eight months in 1874 also to the development of the coal traffic
along the line.

Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.— Tbe Committee

of Pur-

chase and Reorganization, under date of April 18th. has issued a circular, in which they say that having foriually assumed tbe future
direction and management of all matters connected therewith,
" It will be the aim of the Committee to perfect the reorganization without unnecessary delay, and in the arrangement of tho
details to consult the interest and convenience of the bondholders."
" They will cooperate with the trustees of the mortgages in
bringing the suits for foreclosure, now pending in tlie courts of
Virginia and West Virginia, to a satisfactory issue, and in securing a decree of sale as early as practicable ; tliey will provide for
the deposit of the outstanding bonds, when their surrender
becomes necessary, with a responsible trust company or other
suitable depository, and the issue of negotiable certificates in
denominations to suit the convenience of the owners of the
bonds they will purchase the property when offered for sale, and
make the necessary provision for the issue of tbe new securities
and the proper organization of the successor company, and, ia
general, endeavor to devise and carry out such measures, in
accordance with the terms of tbe plan of reorganization, as will
best promote the objects and tend to secure the results for which
it is designed."
The committee are gratified to announce that, up to the present
time, the holders of $10,512,400 of the first morgage six per cent,
bonds, out of a total of $15,000,000, and $10,892,000 of tbe seven
per '^ent. mortgage bonds, out of a total of $13,131,(X)0 outstanding, have already signed their assent to tbe plan of reorganization.
The privilege of participation still remains open under the
direction of tbe committee and there is reason to expect that
before the sale takes place the co operation of the bondholders,
and all other parties interested, will be practically unanimous.

the brokers in paper report a better demand, in consequence of a
slight improvement in the tone of feeling in the dry goods sec

On Thursday, the Bank of England made a reduction of 1 per
cent, in the minimum discount rate, which now stands at
2 per

the gain in bullion for the week was £394,000, and the
slight feeling of uneasiness which was indicated by the dispatclies
of last week has apparently passed away. The Bank of France
gained 14,-t5'J,000 francs in specie.
The last statement of the New York City Clearing-House
banks, issued April 15, showed a decrease of $186,900 in the

principal events of the past week were the commencement, on
Thursday, of silver payments in exchange for fractional currency
by the U. 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.

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,

said that the freight earnings
of 1875 are |189,874 less than those of 1874.
Of tbat sum
$!31,i>C8 is apportionable to down, or eastward, and $S,30o to up,
or westward freight. lu comparison with last year, we have
moved, 47,541 bales cotton, 14,814 barrels flour, 46,!!51 bushels
grain, and 6,U03 packages oidse., etc., less.
" If to these several quantities we apply a moderate average
of our standard tariff rates, we will have obtained in round
figures a sum little below §60,000, on account of the deficiency
of east bound businefs, nearly one-half of that deficiency.
"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.
"It is gratifying again this year to observe conspicuously
prominent a feature of our business, which, in our last report,
afforded us just ground of encouragement.

ATailable net earnings

$197,561

The gross earnings of the year show a decrease from those of
the previous year of $07,993 27, a result of low rates forced
Bpon us by competion,— the volume of business being about the
.Bame as last 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.

GENERAL INVESTMENT NEWS.
&

Albany
Susqnelianna.— The proposed amendments to tha
lease of this road, by the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company, have
been agreed to by both companies, and the amended lease placed
on record. 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. Of these new bonds $3,450,000 are to be reserved to
exchange for outstanding bonds ; $1,595,000 are to be isaued to
the lessee in exchange for an equal amount of stock now held byit, which
stock is to be surrendered and canceled a further
amount is to be issued to the lessee sufficient to pay for improvements heretofore made on the road, and the balance is to be
issued as the lessee may require. These new bonds are to be
guaranteed, principal and interest, by the lessee, and provision is
made for renewing them when the 30 years shall have expired ;
but the amount of stock and bonds outstanding shall at no time
exceed $18,500,000.— iJatVroad Gazette.

Canada Soatheru. The attention of British holders of this
company's bonds has been called to an application about to be

remedy

for

alleged excessive orillegal taxation is not by injunctions, but only
by suits at law after paying the taxes. The companies applied to
the lower courts to wholly enjoin the enforced collection of taxes
on their lands and other property, for the alleged teasons that in
same respects the taxes were illegally levied, and in others that
the ajseasments were too high. A number of such injuoctions
have been granted in the United States Circuit Court ot California, and there are a large number of suits pending in Illinois to
enjoin the collection of taxes assessed against lands and other

Lonisiana State Finances. A telegram from New Orleans,
Ii«., April 17, says
The Supreme Court to-day decided the issue
of 12,500.000 of State bonds to the Mobile & Chattanooga Railroad under act No. 95, 1871, to be invalid and unconstitutional on
the ground that the constitutional limit of the State debt bad
been reached when the bonds were issued that the issue was
fraudulent, and that the State received no consideration therefor.
A statement furnished by the Auditor shows the present condi:

;

tion of the State debt to be New conrolidated bonds, iesned in

Union Paciflc. 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.

the bonds of the State has been passed, if we except a clause in
the tax-bill subjecting the coupons cut from bonds held by a
nonresident of the State to the same tax as has heretofore been
deducted from coupons held by residents. 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

Wilson and Davidson county courts report that the amount
claimed by the State, and for non-payment of which the road is
to be sold, is $158,803, of which $10,760 is payable in cash and the
rest in State bonds.
These can be bought at 42, making the
actual amount needed $72,938 27, and, moreover, $9,000 of the
State claim is disputed by the company.
The company has on
hand aboat $10,350 which can be used. The committee recommends that the counties raise the balance needed and prevent the
sale; if this cannot be done, then they should buy in the road
when it is sold. The latter course will probably be adopted.

The State is still in debt for money borrowed to meet temporary deficiencies in the revenue and the payments to the Sinking
Fund have been suspended, as also the payments of interest of
July, 1874, on the non-consol debt. The tax-bill includes some
additional subjects of taxation, which will make a small increase
in the revenue, but it is now certain that no cash payments will
be made during the present year on account of interest, except
that the small balance due on July, '74, interest may be paid.

We§tern Railroad Tariffs.— A Chicago telegram

of Aprilstated that a meeting ol the managers of the various railroads operating east of St. Louis was held at the Pacific Hotel,
that day, to effect a pool arrangement on all business originating
at St. Louis, somewhat similar to the Eastern railroad combinations.
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.

BRE ADSTUPFS.
Fkidat. p. M., April 21, 1876
The market in flour has been active the past week, and prices
have had a downward tendency. Yet, no considerable decline

can be quoted.

At a slight concession, shipping extras were
readily placed. The most conspicuous weakness has been in
medium Western extras, some of wbich have been closed out at
prices of shipping brands. The choice high grades continue in
but limited supply, and have ruled firm. There is, however, no
disposition on the part of any class of buyers to purchase beyond
immediate wants. Receipts have everywhere been light, and
production appears to be small, but there is a disposition to
realize.
Kye flour and corn meal have ruled rather easier. Today, the market was dull and heavy.
The wheat market opened the week with a considerable show
of firmness, owing to the warlike rumors from Europe, the lower
ocean freights, and the bad weather in England ani in the northwestern section of the United States. But belligerent reports
died out, the weather improved, and ocean freights began to
advance holders, at the same time, began to show increased
anxiety to eflfect a reduction of supplies, by realizing on lots in
store, current receipts became more liberal, and a marked reduc-
