The important fact to be remembered and kept in
mind during all this discussion is, that States cannot
impose any burden upon the capital or shares of a
national bank except as Congress has authorized it.
This was settled long ago in the McCulloch case, and is
of the utmost importance in this discussion, as it makes
every tax utterly void unless laid in the precise manner

TAXING NATIONAL BANKS.
Daring the past week a very important bill has quietly
passed the Senate and Assembly at Albany, and been
signed by the Governor. Those who criticise the dilatory
movements of our legislators will find no reason to complain in this case. The act we refer to is one, which in
a very few words, extends to the shareholdersjin State

national

it puts all banking
on an equality with respect to
assessments and taxation. Tliis is a very just measure,
and seemed to be accepted as such readily by almost
every one, and hence excited but little opposition, and

implied.
Then there is another thought which will help us in
attempting to reach a correct interpretation of the
provision in question, and it is this.
Congress had a
purpose in not granting to the States full authority and
power to tax banks; that purpose was to reserve to

But the most feasible plan yet suggested for bringing the Cincinnati Southern in connection with New

and another by the Cincinnati Southern from Nashville to
Danville, on its main line.

there may be in the second part of this statement, but
we have it on official authority that some prospecting

reforms for which the country is becoming anxious. We shall
also see, in all probability, the work of Parliament conducted
with more fairness and with greater facility.
The acrimony
displayed on many occasions of late years has been very offensive to many who hold a high opinion as to the dignity of the
great council of the nation, and Liberal statesmen desire, now
that a victory has been gained, that the past should be forgotten, and the present and future should form the subject of
legislation. The country need not apprehend that the Conservatives will form themselves into a factious opposition ; but
it is a satisfactory feature that the party will be strong enough
to criticise the work of Government, and that measures of
importance are not likely to be passed before they have been
fully considered. It is very generally hoped that the Government will not wait for, or court, an adverse vote, but that the
Prime Minister, as soon as the electioas are over, will place his
resignation in the hands of the Queen, and advise her as to the
course to pursue. This is obviously the plainer and more dignified course to adopt, and some weeks of valuable time will be
saved. The probability is that Lord Granville will be called
upon to form a Ministry and that Lord Hartington will lead
the House of Commons.
In what way Mr. Gladstone's eminent
services will be acknowledged is a question of some difficulty.
His proper place should be as Prime Minister, but he has
expressed a desire to be excluded frrfm office, and to act as an
independent member. If he adheres to this determination, the
work of forming a Ministry will soon be accomplished, as a
subordinate position could scarcely be acceptable to him.
There has been a moderate inquiry for money during the
week, but the open market rates of discount are J^ per cent
below the official rate, which remains at 3 per cent. The dividends on the public funds have been distributed, and the Bank
of England has been repaid the advances made by it in anticipation of them. Although the money market is likely to rule easy
during the next few weeks, there is still no reason to believe in
any return of that depression which has been its peculiarity for

Foreign government securities have attracted attention, and
Egyptian bonds especially have been in request, at advancing prices. There has also been a fair degree of activity in the

tion progresses satisfactorily, and a sanguine view is still entertained regarding the future.
Daring the week ended April 3, the sales of home-grown
wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to 24,668 quarters, against 43,856 quarters last
estimated that in the whole kingdom they were
quarters in 1879.
Since
quarters, against 175,500
it is
harvest the sales in the 150 principal markets have been
^72,913 quarters, against 1.704,800 quarters; while since harvest
it is computed that they have been 3,891,700 quarters, against
6,819,200 quarters in the corresponding period of last season.
Without reckoning the supplies furnished ex-granary at the
commencement of the season, it is computed that the following
quantities of wheat and flour have been placed upon the British
markets since harvest:

The Itloner Market and Financial Situation. With a relaxation in the rates for money, the financial markets have a
lows
more cheerful aspect. The condition of affairs during the
month of April has not been, upon the whole, an unhealthy
one, and the tightening up of the money market put rather a
wholesome check upon certain sorts of speculation that had
gone far enough. One of the principal benefits realized has
been from the gradual decline in articles of produce that had
previously risen to a point unwarrantably high ; and although
the decline has necessarily been attended with losses to those
who had purchased grain, cotton, pork, iron, &c., at the higher
has still been highly favorable in setting in motion
again the wheels of trade, in stimulating the exports of produce,
making a better supply of commercial exchange, and in releasing a good deal of money that had been required for carrying
these articles on speculative account. Navigation has opened
on the lakes and canal, and rates from Chicago to New York
were reported at 11 cents per bushel (60 lbs.) for wheat. The
railroad rates made last week were 30 cents per 100 lbs. for
grain from Chicago to New York. The quantity of grain forwarded by rail in March was the largest on record, but the following table of the grain movement for the winter season, December 1 to April 3 (18 weeks), from the Railroad Gazette, shows
that the grain movement was very little larger than last year,
not greatly larger than in 1877-8, but that all these three years
each of them showed nearly double the quantity carried in any
previous year

In the money market there has been a decided relaxation
during the past four days, and since Monday last, when 1-16
per day was given, no higher rate than 6 per cent has been
paid. The prevailing rates on stock collaterals have, been 4@6
per cent and to Government bond dealers 3@4 per cent. There
18 not much doing in time loans, as the views of borrowers and
lenders are apart; but prime commercial paper is quoted about
5@6 per cent. There is little reason to anticipate that the long
summer period of excessively ea.sv money, with rates at 1^@3
per cent, will again be experienced in this market for some time
to come.
The Bank of England on Thursday showed a decrease for
the week of £8,200 in specie, and the reserve was 48 9-16 per
cent of liabilities the same as last week ; the discount rate
remains at 3 per cent. The Bank of France showed an increase
of 19,900,000 francs.
The last statement of the New Y^ork City Clearing-House
banks, issued April 17, showed an increase of $644,330 in the
reserve held, the surplus over the 25 per cent requirement
being $530,930, against a deficit of $107,400 the previous week.

and a comparison with the two preceding years.

State and Railroad Bonds, In Southern State bonds there
has been some weakness, and this is attributed in part to the
decline in cotton, which has been felt considerably throughout
the South. Bonds were in many cases put up as collateral for
loans, and, the margins on cotton having been exhausted, the
bonds have been sold. Some of the Louisiana bonds are returning from abroad, where they were taken when the price was
about 40 or lower, and, in addition to this, the outlook for collection of taxes in Louisiana, under the new constitution, is said
to be not encouraging.
Railroad bonds are strong, as a rule, on a well-distributed
business.

Railroad and ITIlscellaneons Stocks. The stock market,
taken altogether, has been decidedly stronger than last week.
The relaxation in the money market as an effect, and the supposed change in the temper of leading operators as the cause
for this, are the influences which have had most weight in
directing the course of the market. The strongest statement of
earnings yet made, we believe, by any railroad company is that
of the Pennsylvania Railroad for March, the increase in net
earnings being $524,025 ; the increase for three months of 1880
on the lines east and west of Pittsburg is §1,759,723 in net
earnings. One of the most remarkable events of the past week
was the decline of about 34 points in Louisville & Nashville on
Saturday last without any adequate cause. A suit was brought,
in which damages of $225,000 were claimed, for non-fulfilment
of a contract made by the Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis
Company prior to its control by the L. & N., and attachments
were granted; but this cause seemed to be too small
to create such a precipitate decline. N. Y. Ontario &
Western has been strong, and it is now believed that no redemption of the road can take place. As to Michigan Central,
Trunk
it has been reported that the Chicago line of the Grand

From the annual report we learn that the gross earnings for
the year are $777,298, showing an increase over the earnings of
1878 of $148,020. The operating expenses, including the purchase and laying of 1,100 tons of steel rails, were $525,677, leaving net earnings of $251,620. From this amount $35,000 was paid
in interest on the preference bonds, $84,717 expended for extraordinary repairs and permanent improvements, and $12,900 in
equipment and in purchasing this company's proportion of the
white mail cars for the Government service, leavmg a surplus
of $154,003. The balance remaining on hand January 1, 1879,
from the preference bond fund, of $17,363, was turned over to
the credit of the equipment account, and applied in part payment for 3 new freight engines purchased during the year.
The increase of business has been largely of a local nature, and

" The extension of the line southwesterly from Albert Lea to
Fort Dodge was finally determined upon in May la.st, and the
portion from Albert Lea to Forest City (35 miles) was located,
right of way secured, and work begun early in June. "The
grading was substantially finished in September, but the track
id not reach Forest City until the early part of December,
owing to the difBculty of getting the iron rails from the mills.
" The Fort Dodge & Fort Ridgely Railroad, extending from
Fort Dodge northerly about thirteen miles, was bought by this
company early in July. This track has been extended sixteen
miles further north, to Livermore Station, near the east fork
of the Des Moines River, in Humboldt County, making twentynine miles of track from Fort Dodge to Livermore.
The
grading on the remaining portion of the line between Forest
City and Livermore (about 39 miles) is about one-half done. It
18 expected that the grading will be finished in the early spring,
and the track laid—so as to make a continuous line from Minneapolis to Fort Dodge— bjr the first of July next.
" An issue of bonds of this company to the amount of $1,100,000, secured by mortgage upon this extension from Albert Lea
to Fort Dodge, has been authorized by the directors, and the
bonds placed in the hands of the Central Trust Company of
New York, and are to be issued only at the rate of $10,000 per
mile of road actually completed. $350,000 of these bonds have
been issued upon the line from Albert Lea to Forest City. The
distance from Albert Lea to Fort Dodge is 102 miles, and when
this line is completed the total bonded debt and yearly iaterest
to be provided for will be as follows

the growth has been even more rapid than was anticipated by
the hoard when they determined, eighteen months ago, upon a
policy of providing ample facilities for the development of both
the passenger and freight business.
The board has acted on the belief that the best interests of
the bondholders and stockholders required that the work of
Sermanent improvement be carried on with reasonable rapidity,
luring the past year 3 bridges of 6 spans have been rebuilt in
the best manner, a considerable amount of filling in of trestles,
with ample stone culverts, has been done, and wooden structures
for round-house, shop and depot, with platforms and side
tracks, have been put up at Charlotte, and the grading nearly
completed of the company's site for buildings at Atlanta; but
there still remains important wark to be done, and about twothirds of the original amount of trestles to fill.

report of Mr. Adolph Sutro, as superintendent of
the Sutro Tunnel, for the year^ended March 1, 1880, contained
the following:
During the past year the differences between the companies
working the mines on the Comstock lode and this company have
been satisfactorily adjusted, and now perfect harmony between
the dififerent interests prevails. Under the adjustment, the
Sutro Tunnel Company relinquished one-half the royalty of $2
per ton (to which, under the original agreements, it was entitled) as far as ores are concerned which would mill $40 per ton
or under, so that only those ores which yield over $40 per ton
will hereafter have to pay the full royalty.
The annual
The mining companies have also agreed to advance to the
Tunnel Company $70 per running foot for every foot of lateral
tunnel constructed northerly along the line of the Comstock Lode
to the Utah Mine, and southerly to the Overman Mine. This
advance is not to create or constitute a debt against the Tunnel
Company, for which demand could be made nor shall it draw
any interest, but it is to be liquidated out of half the royalties
hereafter earned on ores extracted, and should any mine never
extract ore, such mine shall have no claim against the Tunnel
Company for advances made by it.
The water power on Carson River should be secured by the
Tunnel Company as speedily as possible, not only for the purpose of making cheap compressed air after the machinery is
moved from shaft No. 2 to the tunnel entrance, but also for the
purpose of acquiring a cheap power for the propulsion of mills,
reduction, ana concentrating works. In this connection I desire
to repeat that the quantity of low-grade ores in the Comstock
lode, which have been laid bare by former explorations, is almost unlimited, and with the unsurpassed facilities the Sutro
Tunnel Company possesses for their transportation, milling and
concentration should Jn the future prove one of the mala
;
sources of revenue.
The inventory of the property of the company, furnished by
Mr. Sutro, gives the cost of the tunnel as $4,000,000, and other
prcMperty valued at $494,134.

Central Iowa.— In regard to recent reports that holders of
their mortgage bonds had been refused new stock, a communication to the Boston Advertiser says that the charter expressly
provides (Art. IV.) that " one share of (new) stock shall be
given for each |100 of floating indebtedness, and the third
mortgage bonds shall be received and treated as floating indebtedness only as far as it has canceled or paid any actnal
bona fide debt of the Central Railroad Company of Iowa."
Thus the slur upon the action of the management, that new
stock has been issued for the "plain notes" without the " surrender of the bonds," is entirely uncalled for, as, in so doing,
the directors have done just what they are obliged to do by the
charter of the road, which does not recognize the third mortgage bonds apart from the floating indebtedness.
The Central Iowa Railway Company proposes to pay immediately the interest due July 15 on its first mortgage bonds,
on condition that bondholders will deduct 6 per cent from the
face of the coupons as a rebate.

The past week has witnessed more seasonable weather, and
some improvement in regular trade as well as less depression in
speculation. There is still, however, a lack of spirit and confidence in both trade and speculative circles, and views of the
future of prices are wholly unsettled. It is, however, much
easier to buy than to sell.

to the quotation of a week ago— 14Mc. the market has hardly
been any more than nominal at that figure. There have been
numerous rumors concerning sales of Rio coffee, reported to be
held by agents of the Brazilian Government in this city and
Baltimore, but nothing has been authenticated. Mild grades
have met with only a moderate trade, as a rule, though Maracaibo and Laguayra have sold fairly at prices showing no material change.
Rice has been less active, but prices have not
varied materially from those of last week. Molasses has been
in only moderate demand, and reh'ning stock has fallen to 37@

Rico has been 35@50c ; New Orleans has shown no change.
Raw sugar has been quiet and rather weak, especially for Muscovado, centrifugal being in the best position. Refiners who
recently received large importations show no inclination to purchase anj'thing much but an occasional cargo of Pernambuco
or Iloilo for their common products, and the market closes to a
great extent nominal at 7 9-Ma@1%e. for fair Cuba refining.

The above figures indicate an increase in the cotton in sight tonight of 270,462 bales as compared with the same date of 1879,
« decrease of 154,598 bales as compared with tlie corresponding
date of 1878. and a decrease of 504,538 baies as compared with 1877
In the preceding visible supply table we have heretofore only
included the interior stocics at the 7 original interiOi' towns
As we did not have the record of the ne v interior towns for the
four years, we could not make a comparison in any other way.
That difficulty no longer exists, and we therefore malce the following coaiparison, which includes the stocks at the 19 towns
given weekly in our table of interior stocks instead of only the
old 7 towns. We shall continue this double statement for a
time but finally shall simply substitute the 19 towns for the 7
bales

Weather Reports by Telegraph. In general, planting
has made good progress during the week. At some points there
has been too much rain, so that work is delayed, but we should
say that t he present condition averages fairly well. The whole
in the lower half of the
of Texas would be better for rain now
State planting is completed.
Galneston, Texas.— "VIlo weather has been warm and dry
throughout the week, the thermometer averaging 73, and ranging from 59 to 80. Most sections would be benefitted by rain.
Planting is about completed in this neighborhood, and in all the
;
lower

of the State.

Thence to the 22nd there were sundry fluctuations, occasioned by
the varying tenorof the American news, but the general tendency
•was upwards, owing to renewed animation in Manchester, and to
increased buying here for consumption. The hardening tendency
was strengthened by the demand for March deliveries, and
by the temporary scarcity of tenderable uplands. The result
was that nearly the whole of the previous decline was recovered. There was a relapse on the 23d and 24th, and prices
gave way l-16d. to ^^d. On the 25th there was no further
change. Thence to the 30th the market was closed for the
Easter holidays. There was a slight recovery in the evening

was a firmer feeling in the afternoon of the 1st and on the

The rate of consumption in Great Britain in March was about
65,000 bales of 400 lbs. per week, or 260,000 bales, equal to 104,000,000 lbs., which, added to the 528,500,810 lbs. consumed to
the end of February, gives 632,900,810 lbs. as the consumption
for the first six months of the season, against 550,400,000 lbs.

These figures show an excess of 74,000 bales in the stock

by Continental spinners, or a net excess of 69,000 bales. The
excess in the " visible supply" is 130,000 bales. The two together
make a
total excess of 199,000 bales.

other words, instead of the real stock of 487,000, we ought to
have compared with the estimated stock of 6*27,000 bales. This
would have reduced the consumption from 2,764,090 bales to
2,724,000 bales.
Another matter which should have been noticed is the fact
that the 2,975,000 bales " total supply " of last year averaged
only 418 lbs. per bale, against 426 lbs. this season.

an addition of

were received to March 31, leaving 776,000 to come in between
that date and September 30. The Egyptian crop will reach
about 3,200,000 cantars, or 470,000 bales, of which 405,000 were
imported to the end of March, leaving 65,000 to receive thence

between JIarch 31 and September 30 was 121,000 bales, and the
season befere 125,000 bales. This season we may receive
125,000 bales.
The foregoing estimates, plus the stocks in the ports of
Europe, compare as follows with the figures for the second
half of last season, in 1,000s of bales
Instead, therefore, of the estimated consumption this year
being only 41,000 bales more than last (2,808,000, against
2,764,000), it Is, in bales of the uniform weignt of 400 lb.f., 132,000 bales more— namely, 2,990,000, against 2,858,000.
The
527,000 bales estimated stock at the close of last season averaged
rather less than 400 lbs. each, but the difference is not verymaterial. The whole of the figures in the above table for both
this year and last are therefore of the uniform weight of 40O lbs.
We have assumed that the stocks at the mills will be reduced
to the low figure touched in September last 62,000 bales, but
this is hardly likely to be theca,se. If they should stand at 80,000
bales for all Europe, against 62,000, then the estimated stock ia
the ports woijld stand as 793,000, against 527,000 bales last

year.
Every season the rate of consumption on the Continent of
Europe U larger in the first half than in the second, owing to
longer hours being worked in the summer than in the winter
months but in Great Britain the rate is frequently less in the
second half of the season than in the first, owing to the holidays in connection with Whitsuntide and the "wakes" and
" fairs" which take place in the manufacturing districts.
We have estimated the present rate of consumption for all
Europe at 115,000 bales,—say 65,000 for Great Britain and 50,000
;
but dunng the summer at least one week's
consumption will be saved by the holidays, so that, although

he possibly can but the result will depend upon the character

THE DRY aOODS TRADE.
Feidat, P. M., April 23, 1880.
The dry goods market has been devoid of animation the past
week, and yet the jobbing trade was of fair aggregate proportions.
The movement in cotton and woolen goods from first
hands continued sluggish, but stocks are in such good shape
that there was no pressure on the part of manufacturers' agents
by granting extra inducements ; and the
to stimulate business
most popular fabrics were held with unabated firmness, under
the belief that the late lull in the demand cannot be of long
duration. The retail branches of the trade are reported active
in most parts of the country, and the improved condition of
consumers is being reflected in the increased demand for fabric*
of a superior class, which are more sought for than for some
years past.
Domestic Cotton Goods.— The exports of domestics hence to
foreign markets were comparatively light, having been only 768
packages for the week ending April 20. These shipments
included 420 packages to Great Britain, 113 to Venezuela, 70 to
Brazil, and smaller lots to other countries.
Large additional
orders for brown cottons, &c., were, however, placed with manufacturers' agents by exporters, and shipments will doubtless
be of greatly- enlarged proportions in the near future. The
demand for cotton goods by jobbers continued light, but there
was a freer inquiry for certain makes by converters and manufacturers,
reported.
and
in this connection some fair transactions were
Prices of the best makes of plain and colored cottons
were uniformly firm in first hands, but slight concessions were
made on some outside makes that were unduly advanced some
time ago, and various makes of cotton goods were oS'ered at
relatively low figures by jobbers, in order to give an impetus to
their distribntion. Print cloths were dull and weak at 5@5Mc.
for 64x64s and 4M@4%c. for 56x603, and prints were very quiet
in first hands at unchanged prices.
Lawns, ginghams, wide
prints and cotton dress goods were severally in fair request and
steady.
—
Domestic Woolen Goods. ^The market for woolen goods
opened quiet, and continued so until neatly the end of the
week, when a few buyers appeared for reassortments, and business became a trifle more active. There was a steady movement in clothing woolens from first hands on account of back
orders (many of which are still unfilled), but rather less urgency
for deliveries was manifested by clothiers, most of whom are
bountifully supplied wifh goods for their immediate requirements. Values of all woolen fabrics of a desirable character

demand, and some odd lots of union goods were closed out at a
slight reduction in price. Cheviots and worsted coatings were
in light request, and overcoatings ruled quiet
but nearly all
leading makes continue sold in advance of production. Kentucky jeans and satinets were quiet, but prices are fairlj' .steady.
Flannels and blankets continue closely sold up and firm, but the
