town between Portland and
Bangor, at the former connecting with the roads to Boston, and at
the latter with the European and North American Railroad,
which, passing through the eastern part of Maine, is continued
into and through the British provinces to Halifax, having termini
of its own on the harbors of Portland, Bath, Belfast and Bangor.
Up to 1870 this corporation, a wide gaage road (a consolidation
in 1862 of the Androscoggin & Kennebec and Penobscot & Kennebec), had comparatively an unimportant existence. Extending
simply from Bangor to Danville Junction, ii had no eastern
terminus, but was compelled '.o reach Portland from Danville
such accommodations
over the Grand Trunk, with only
at Portland as could be conceded by that road.
The result of
such an arrangement was that the Maine Central was obstructed
in the movement of its trains and cramped and restricted in its
terminal facilities. At the same period the Portland & Kennebec
Railroad (with a guage 56i inches), extending from Portland to
Skowhegan, and crossing the Maine Central at Kendall's Mills.
had ample accommodations at Portland, but had no connection
with the east except over the Central. These roads were subBtantiaily equal in length, in cost, equipment, and in business
alone each was defective, but united these defects were all well
supplied, making one through company from Bangor to Portland
with such natural advantages to a union existing, its final accomplishment could not be prevented. Hence, on the 12th of May,
1870, a contract of consolidation was executed between these two
roads ani during that year the guage was made uniform, the
American width of 56| inches, the same as the Portland & Kennebec hitherto had been, being adopted, A short piece of road was
also built between Danville Junction (the terminus of the Maine
Central up to that time) and Cumberland Station, on the Portland
& Kennebec. By these changes the Maine Central was provided
with two roads between Portland and Bangor, of uniform guage,
so that the same cars and engines can now pass freely from
Boston to beyond their eastern terminus, making the rjad the
connecting link between the States and the eastern outlying

The Foreign Exchanges were greatly affected by rising gold
and the monetary stringency. The demand from importers has
been checked for the above reasons, and remittances were therefore postponed wherever it was possible. The course of rates was
also influenced to some extent by the borrowed bills already, and
yet to be, settled for, these being thrown upon the market at concessions varying from i to i per cent from the asking rates of the
standard drawers. The advanced discount rate at London gave
temporarily a better tone to sterling, but at the close the entire
market was again demoralized by the difficulties in money and
high price of gold, and bills -were obtainable much below the
nominal quotations,

The slight addition made by the act of less than one half of
one per cent to the 192 grains, the lately existing weight of the
half dollars of the United States makes them exactly one half the
existing weight of the principal silver coin in a large number of
the nations of continental Europe, to wit The five-franc silver
the five-livre
coin of France, of Belgium, and of Switzerland
the fivesilver coin of Italy the five-peseta silver coin of Spain
drachma silver coin of Greece, and precisely equal in weight to
:
;
;
;
new silver florin of Austria. Thus the metrical internationalization of our half dollar will allow it to pass unchanged in
name and withoivt recoinage, bearing the emblems of our Kepublic throughout the majority of the nations of Europe.

line of steamships at New York. At ( jordonsville it connects with
the railroad lines f.>r Washington, Baltimore & Philadelphia. At
Huntington, on the Ohio Hiver, the western terminus, it connects
with daily lines of steam packets to Cincinnati and points farther
West. A regular schedule of through freight rates has been
established, and large shipments of provisions and bulk freights
are already being made to and from Cincinnati and Louisville.
The coal traftic between the Kanawha mines and the s<.-aboar<l,
and between the mines and the Western cities, is rapidly rising in
importance. The best gas and steam coals known to the United
States are found along the line of the Cliesapeake and Ohio road
in its course through- West Virginia.
The requirements of the
coastwise ports will be large, and the high price of coal and iron
in England is leaving more and more room for the United States
to supply the fuel to distant ports, of late furnished exclusively
by English mines.

With nearly 500 miles of the road completed and in operation,
which has been noticed for a long time past is apparently the
by artificial manipulations. The
scarcity of money in the banks was aggravated by the withdrawal of considerable deposits on or about the first of April for
remittance to the county or for our city treasury, and this drain,
coming at the same time with a very active speculation in gold,
BO depleted the market as to make it unusually sensitive to the
result of natural causes assisted

On Wednesday thd range was substantially as follows: ^ declining to i, up again to |, down to 7 gold, up again to iOf per cent.
On Thursday the highest rates were |@J per cent., and in the
afternoon i@i> with some transactions down to 7 gold after bank
hours. Today, Friday, the rates have been J, i, 3 16, i, 5 16, and
at the close l-32@l-16. There has been at times almost a fever of
excitement as to whether the Secretary of the Treasury would or
would not issue more greenbacks, but up to the date of writing
he has given no information that further issue -nould bo made.
Business in commercial paper has naturally been checked by
the extraordinary movements above noticed, and transactions are
but nominal.
No further advance has been made in the Bank of England
rate, although money in London is decidedly firmer and rates in
the open market were higher to-day than the bank minimum,
which remains at 4 per cent.; the bank loses this week f 640,000
in bullion. The Bank of France gains in specie 3,500,000 francs.
The last statement of our city banks (March 29) showed a decrease in the reserves of $594,425, so as to leave a deficiency of
$377,200 below the 25 per cent, required by law, against an excess
of $217,325 the previous week. The total liabilities were $221,144,400, and the reserves $54,908,900.
The following statement shows the changes from previous week
and a comparison with 1872 and 1871:

which have effectually checked any large business. It may be
considered somewhat remarkable that there has not been more
selling to realize by parties who were obliged to get money during the late spasmodic stringency but the sales of that sort have
not been of great extent, and prices already show a recovery
from the decline made at the height of the monetary pressure.
There has recently been some buying on foreign account, part
of the bonds being taken on buyers' 60 days option.

Railroad bonds have maintained their prices liettcr tlian uii(?ht
have been expected, although tlio volunio of huHinesB has been
but moderate.
A damaging statement in regard to American
railroad bonds in default for interest in Germany appeared this
week in several of the daily newspapers, giving the lollowing
list of f ucli bonds, viz.

This was immediately contradicted as to the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia, the Port Uoyal, and the Oregon and Oallfornia roads, by their officers or financial agenis, and it is but
justice to those companies to refer to the subject here for the purpose of reiterating their denials of the unjust charge. If we
deduct the amounts covered by these three roads the sura total of
the above railroad bonds in default would be |33,480,000, and not
all of those are held abroad.
This is so far bad, but the amount
constitutes only a small percentage of the whole amcunt of
Americun bonds held in Germany, and furnishes no sufficient
basis to throw discredit upon the securities of our old established
roads.

Forelsu Excliange.-The rates of exchange have been completely unsettled by the influences of the gold and money markets,
and yesterday and this morning prime bills sold down to very
low figures. Today the market opened weak, but soon advanced
under a better feeling and moderate purchases of bills, and was
still stronger in the afternoon on the cable report from London,
which wo have noticed above. In the morning prime banker's
rates were 107i for 60 days, and 108 for short sight, and at the
close they asked 107^ for long and 108f for short bills, though
actual business was done somewhat lower.
An important event in regard to exchange this week was the
making of a careful canvas of all the principal foreign banking
houses to ascertain the amount of their 60 days sterling bills
loaned and now oustanding. The statements » ere made upon
honor, and are said to be entirely reliable, showing that the total
of all these bills amount to only £1,873,000. This result was
published in the Journal of Commerce, with some remarks as to
the method by whicli it was reached.
The transactions for the week at the Custom House and Sub
Treasury have been as follows:

At the date of our last report gold h»d
TI«e Gold market
advanced to llGl as the highest point Treached, but on Monday,
March 81, the market became mucli excited, and on large transactions the price advanced to 118i, closing at 117^. Subsequently
it fell off to 116}, and ranged from that to 117| until to-day; when
it again advanced to 118} in the afternoon, closing at
IISJ at 8:30
P. M. The upward turn to-day was based on a London telegram
that £170,000 of specie had been withdrawn from the bank, and
that the discount rate would probably be further advanced. The
announcement of the Secretary of the Treasury that he will sell
fl ,500,000 per week during April has not apparently had much
effect in intimidating the gold clique which still holds control of
the market. The rates on gold loans to-day were 1 33, 7, 3-«4 and
110 i>aid for carrying. Time loans of gold were yesterday quoted
as follows for borrowing 30 days " flat," 60 days
i, 90 days |^J,
4 months i@f 6 months IWU, and all the year 2@3i per cent.

Railroad and MlKcellaneoaB Stocks. The stock market
has been subjected to a pressure of most unprecedented severity,
and considerinjr the circumstances prices have been pretty well
maintained. The rate of J@l per cent a day for money, which
was reached this week, is something far beyond the usual range
even of our worst periods of monetary stringency. Prices necessarily yielded, and in some cases made a decline ot 2@3 per cent,
but at no time was there a regular break in the nature of a panic,
which might, in fact, have been expected with some reason, by
those long familiar with Wall street business.
There has been no leading specialty this week as the principal
business has consisted in the selling of stocks by parties who
found it necessary to realize, and the purchase of the same by
other parties better able to hold them. The market recovered
somewhat to-day, and closed with an improved feeling.
The following were the highest and lowest prices ot the active Saturday, Mch.

too evident. The increase in acreage may not be large, but the American afloat for each port as given below. Froji figures thus
showing the
use of fertilizers will be beyond all precedent. One ot our cor- received, we have prepared the following table,

get in, sacks or barrels that smells bad and costs $50 a ton. The
fiupply originally laid in by our dealers, long since exhausted,
has been renewed and again exhausted, and the demand not even
abated. Guano dealers have made fortunes in planter's paper,
and could have made as much more, as planter's wagons are
camping around the towns awaiting expected carloads, and when
should not object to tliis
it comes they almost fight for it."
if it were not for the fact that the fertilizers are mainly bought on
credit and the crop is being raised on credit, and will therefore coat
very Biuch more than the last one. For instance, the farmer who
thus makes his purchases, mast pay in the first in'itance about
25 per cent more tlian if he bought for cash, and then seven per
cent interest with the usual one per cent a mouth added, and 2|
per cent commission for obtaining the advance, besidea The commissions for the storage and the sale of the cotton. Now if we
add these expenses to the other coats of production we will readily
see one good reason why so many planters keep poor even where
they sell their cotton at high prices.
2. But this plan of making the crop an expensive one \a particularly unwise now. An excessive crop this year certainly
means low prices. However much we may fight against the con
elusion it is inevitable and low prices with high cost of production means loss, and a burden of debt and continued poverty.
are very desirous of seeing a large crop of cotton, as we think
it will greatly help to drive out other competitors from the field,
and help to stimulate all kinds of business; but at the same time
we would have it limited iu the main by the money capacity of
the planters, so that they would be able to sell it at a low fignre
if necessary, and not be left iu a worse condition for their year's
work. A reasonable credit would bo unobjectionable this excessive expansion, however, if not checked will, we might almost
say, be fatal if it ia oersisted in nothing but a very unfavorable
season for cotton growing will save the producers from great loss.
are glad to know that what we liave said does not apply to
every jiart of the South. In some sections there is a very conservative feeling a determination among commission merchants to
be cautiouB in extending credits, and especially where planters
show a disposition not to put in a proper proportion of corn.

but the trade improves slowly, especially in the country. The
effects of the severe winter are more lasting in the rural districts
than here, and the consumptive demand in the country will no
doubt be unusually late this year. The growing stringency in

of this year, as there are comparatively few among the masses in
mercantile pursuits who do not feel the necessity, in a time like

the fact by the slow sales which their goods are meeting. Staple
