to 40 millions in February 58 and to 37 millions now.
The
gold balance has risen from 85 millions in January to

On their shewing the Treasury owns 49
millions of gold, or 9 millions more thin in January.
But
against this sum there are 29 millions now owing for accrued

millions,—so that the net balance of gold held unappropriated
in the Treasury is 13 millions.

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE MONTH OF MARCH.
chiefly notable for the excessive
dulness in financial and mercantile circles, and indisposition on
the part of business men to engage in new negotiations, a natural
result of Congressional action on important financial questions.
For the same reason the course of speculation was decidedly
erratic, one moment being characterized by buoyancy and the next
by depression. The legal tender circulation, though kept at
$382,000,000 by the Secretary of the Treasury, was the cause of
so much uneasiness, on account of the possibility ot a change, that
operations were restricted in all directions. Late in the month,
after memorials had poured into Congress, signed by merchants
all over the country, and petitioning, almost in every cape, for
contraction in the volume of legal teuders, and for the enactment
of measures looking towards a return to specie payments,
the House of Representatives voted
for inflation, and the
Senate followed suit in giving its consent to an increase
in the legal tenders to $400,000,000.
The latter body, however,
did not reach its final vote on this question. The money mark®.

Date.
The month of March
Remittances, however,
considerably less than in former years. The condition of the
banks was unusually strong compared with the same month of
previous years, and the excess over a legal reserve ranged from
between
nineteen to twenty-two millions, against a small
deficiency the same time in 1873. ,The Treasury announced that
sales of $3,000,000 gold would be made, but at the final sale an
extra half million was accepted, making the total sold 3^ millionsThe reason for this new policy was to enable the Secretary to
meet the obligations of the Government without drawing on the"*
legal tender reserve.
At the close of the month dispatches were received reporting
a financial panic at London.
These telegrams grew out of a
break in Erie.
Some of the speculators in that stock at London
were unable to respond when the fortnightly settling day took
place, the price having made a rapid descent in consequence of
the Susquehanna strike and the reputed disagreement between
the Atlantic & Great Western interests and the present adminis¬
tration.
The affair was merely local, however, and was exagger
ated to an extent entirely unwarranted by facts.
Government bonds were weak and lower in the early dealings\n sympathy with gold, but as usual there were ready buyers at
the decline, and prices made a steady advance under free pur¬
chases by domestic capitalists and foreign bankers, as well as
under the influence of the upward movement in gold late in the
month. The improvement ranged from 1 to 2 per cent.

the exchange of the bonds into
Fund bonds of the company, at the rate of five
of the incomes for tflx of the new bonds, and the improved con¬
dition of the company's affairs. One million of the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern Railway Company’s second mortgage seven
per cent bonds, due in 1903, were disposed of at auction. The
price was 90, Commodore Vanderbilt having been the purchaser.
A loan for $2,500,000 Chicago & Northwestern Consolidated Gold
bonds was successfully negotiated at London. This imparted
strength to the bonds here, and higher prices prevailed. The

the new Sinking
The stock market
was
somewhat eccentric in its movements,
speculation having been affected by a combination of causes.
Chief among these was, as previously noticed, Congressional
legislation on the currency and the finances. All manner of
despatches were received from Washington relating to these
matters, and as this made a settled market almost an impossibility,
there were periods of intense dulness.
The decision of the
House on the $400,000,000 legal tender bill ini used new life in the
speculation towards the close and stimulated a material advance in
prices, but there was some reaction in the final dealings. The Union
Pacific election was watched with great interest, and the new
the
parties in the direction backed up their favorite with a persist¬
ency characteristic of those who now hold the reius over the
affairs of the company.
The earnings of the road for the year
having been estimated at $12,000,000 was a further incentive to
the upward movement in the stock.
The fluctuations in Erie were
wide and frequent, the tendency of the price, in the main,
having been downward, first on account of the partial success
of the new loan for £3,000,000 sterling ; second, the strike on the
road; and third, the advices from London regarding the hostility
of the Atlantic & Great Western party to the present administra¬
tion.
The company ordered an investigation into the charges
preferred bv the auditor of the company, J. VV. Duuan, who later
issued a pamphlet giving his connection with the company and a
resume of the affairs of the road.
There was a marked rise in
Western Union Telegraph on reports of a probable cash and
stock dividend, but this was succeeded b}r a decline when the
meeting of the directors failed to confirm the rumors. After the
above-mentioned shares Lake Shore, New York Central, North¬
west, Pacific Mail, Wabash and St. Paul occupied the principal
attention.
Wabash was weak at the close, being depressed by
rumors of the financial embarrassment of the company, which,
however, were denied by some of the directors. The Milwaukee
& St. Paul Railway Company paid the seven per cent dividend on
the preferred stock in the new consolidated bonds, as decided by
the directory some time ago, and since approved by the stock¬

week5 about 75,000 bales
out of a total of 164,000 bales.
Iu fact, the price of colonial wool
has been maintained by the purchases of foreign buyers, the home
trade having operated with the extremest caution throughout the
whole of the last series of sales. No doubt, the prudence o*
home buyers under existing circumstances is a favorable feature'
and augers well for the future; but it is evident that if the price
of the manufactured article declines while that of the raw
material is maintained, English manufacturers have but one
course open to them, and that is to restrict their operations, and
to err upon the safer side.
There has been a further improvement iu the demand for
money; but the inquiry is still far from active. The supply
cannot be called extensive, but it is more than adequate to the
requirements of the community, and hence the rates of discount
remain easy at 3$ to 3£ per cent. The bank return, published
during the week, shows a further increase in the demand for
accommodation; but, at the same time, coin continues to be
received from provincial circulation, and that is always considered
You may recollect
to be a certain indication that trade is bad.
that in the years 1871 and 1872—years of considerable coin
increase, activity and of high wages—stringency was produced in
the money market by the large absorption of coin by the provinces.
For some time past, in consequence of a less active trade, and of
in some instances, lower wages, or, at all events, diminished
earnings of the working classes, coin has been returned freely to
the metropolis, and the bank return of this week shows that even
at this period of the year, the current is [in the same direction.
Just now a large amount of coin is required for agricultural
purposes. The farmers are now very busily engaged in complet¬
ing their spring sowings, and an additional outlay is thus incurred.
In the manufacturing districts, too, the manufacture of goods for
autumn and winter wear ought now to be in full operation : but
the provinces return, nevertheless, the'coin they have of late years
abstracted from the metropolis, and more money becomes available
for employment at this centre.
In spite, however, of all that,
there are indications of an improving demand for money, and
evidence is not wanting that any sound commercial or financial
speculation will fail for want of support.
The Bank return published this week is scarcely so excellent
a statement as its predecessor ; but the proportion of reserve to
liabilities is still as high as 47 per cent. The German demand
for gold having ceased, and there being no apprehension of any
further trouble arising out ot the German gold coinage opera¬
tions, the Bank ought to be able to^bear a heavier strain upon its
resources to necessitate much dearer money, than can be expected
from any immediate improvement which may be anticipated in
the state of our trade. The prices of money are held as follows .

♦Prices March 12.
In the silver market there has been increased firmness and the
quotation has advanced to 59f per ounce. Owing to a revival of
demand for India. The periodical sale of bills on India was held
at the Bank]of England on Wednesday, and the amount offered
was freely disposed of at an advance in the price of about 2 per
cent. In the gold market, however, there has been no important
variation. There is no inquiry for bar gold for export, and further
supplies have been sent into the bank,but considerable quantities
of sovereigns have been taken out of the establishment on account
of recent South American loans.
The price of Napoleons has
been raised by the Bank £d. per ounce, as it was expected that a
large quantity would be withdrawn at the previous price. The

able spirit. The attendance of buyers from all parts was large,
the foreign element being predominant, and including one or two
from the United States, who, however, owing to the fact that
their limits for purchasing were too low for this market, did not
operate. From the commencement Continental buyers have com.
peted freely for nearly all kinds of wool, and it is chiefly to their
purchases that prices have been so well maintained. In fact,
during the earlier days of the sales, English buyers operated with
great caution, and prices must have receded materially had not
foreign buyers come eagerly forward. Towards the close of the
sales the home trade effected more extensive purchases, but even
then the business done on that account was chiefly for the supply
of actual wants. The exports of wool in the first two months of
the present and last two years were as follows: 1874—English*
849,779 lbs.; colonial and foreign, 6,209,998 lbs. 1873—English,
644,541 ; colonial and foreign, 5,123,997. 1872—English, 2,218,003; colonial and foreign, 13,521,449 lbs. The quantity of wool

principal advance towards a further settlement of financial
uncertainties at Washington was made on Thursday, when the
Senate voted (33 to 19) in favor of Mr. Merrimon’s amendment
providing for the issue of an additional amount of $46,000,000
National Bank circulation, bringing up the total amount of that
class of currency to $400,000,000, the same as the U. S. legal
tenders, and placing the total of greenback and national bank
circulation together at $800,000,000.
As to other propositions
voted on—a substitute to re-distribute $50,000,000 of national
currency instead of making the iucrease of $46,000,000 as above,
noted, was rejected by a vote of 31 to 20; and an amendment
providing lor the accumulation of gold coin in the Treasury was
rejected by 16 to 31. It is now suggested as probable that the
House committee on banking and currency will report a bill in
favor of free banking, with proper restrictions for redemption*
and if that is passed by the House ana rejected by the Senate,
a
question of compromise between the two houses of Congress
will then come up on the respective propositions for a positive
increase of $46,000,000 in the national bank circulation, or the
authorization of free banking and the unlimited issue of national
currency under the restrictions and limitations provided in the
law.
Of these two, the free banking law, with strict provisions
for redemption, is generally regarded as the least measure of

Exchange market has been quiet
throughout, and the volume of business transacted comparatively
small.
Nearly all the leading drawers of exchange have had a
moderate supply of bills offering, but none of them, so far as
ascertained, have drawn any very large amounts. Commercial
bills have been in limited supply, as the transactions in these had
been large during the ten days previous to the period covered by
our report.
The rumors of financial trouble in London, circu¬
lated early in the week, had little effect on exchange as they
were not substantiated
by the press and private dispatches.
Nominal quotations are as follows, although actual business was
done at lower figures :

These items they consider as constituting the floating debt proper. If all
debt, outside of the funded debt, is tp be regarded as floating, then there arc
the following items to add to the above:
February pay-rolls due but not payable
$519,631 07
Union Bank of London, advance on unsold bonds
904,202 87
Interest and rentals to March 13, not yet due
494.152 63
Beyond these items your Committee find nothing, and they would observe
that all railway companies have necessarily, in the regular course of business,
large sums of money due to them and by them at all times.
This is unavoidable, and the receipts on their accounts usually about
balance the disbursements, including the current pay rolls.
From the above amount of $3,404,388 45, put down as the .real floating
debt, $545,709 08 may fairly be deducted on this account, leaving $2,858,589 37
as* the sum really necessary to be provided for.
The sum borrowed on bonds
will be provided for from the bonds deposited. The pa3r-rolls for Jauuary

Mr. Dunan in a published letter criticizes the report, and says :
“I take it that the Committee have only included in their state
ment that which was either audited or in process of being
audited and passed upon, excluding all the numerous claims
which had not at that date been presented to the company and
those which
were
presented and upon which there is some
disputed point.”
It appears therefore that there is no dispute as to figures, and
the chief question is whether unadjusted claims, accounts, &c.,
should be included in “floating debt.”

The company, besides their own immediate line, are absolute
owners of the

Texas Railroads.
They are also largely interested in the Cairo &
Fulton Railroad in Arkansas. These roads are all under the same
directory, and will eventually be consolidated. They are also
interested in the early construction of the Savannah & Memphis
Railroad, which, when completed, will give them the most direct

('O'MMERCIAL EPITOME.

those mentioned in the table.
C!«lOt-QD
The action of
Congress upon the currency question during the
past week, aud the advance iu gold which that and the rumors
from London have caused, have promoted speculation in some of
the leading articles of domestic merchandize, attended, naturally,
by an advance in prices. But some descriptions of foreign mer¬
chandize have been depressed in the same proportion, and
measureably by the same cause. The weather has until to-day
continued cold and unseasonable, and this has helped to retard
the Spring trade. To day, being Good Friday, business is gen¬
erally suspended.
The following is a statement of the stocks of leading articles
of domestic and foreign merchandise at dates given!

descriptions of fancy cassimeres and coatings for the tailoring
trade, and for these fair prices are realized. The medium and
low grades are very slow of sale, and holders, as the rule, are
disposed to shade values a fraction to effect sales. In some cases
material reductions have been made, but goods are already fully
down to the level of the raw material, and there is not much
prospect of their going much lower. Cloths are dull, and could
only be quoted nominally.
Worsted dress goods sell with
comparative freedom. Shawls are quiet and rather easy.
Foreign Goods.—The market with importers has been rather
quiet, the attention of buyers having been given mainly to the
large offerings at auction: There have been sales through this
channel of the stocks of prominent dress goods of several large
i mporting houses, and in addition to this full lines of dress and
millinery silks have been disposed of. The demand has been fair
as the
prices at which goods are obtainable are sufficiently low
to warrant buyers in operating with considerable freedom. There
