has often caused stringency, especially before the panic
of 1873. Moreover, there is the active movement in Wall

short time ago to perform the daily business of this finan¬

which just now are in operation to augment the activity
of the money market, and which will soon cease to work^

conflicting conjectures have been current as to the causes
and the probable duration of this stringency. In some
quarters it has been supposed that the movement is
temporary, and will soon pass away. In this city, how¬
ever, many of our merchants and hankers, and some
prominent capitalists, incline to expect during the cur¬

market, which will he likely to make itself visible in

country of large amounts of European capital, and in its
absorption by our safer and more lucrative investments.
On these points there is considerable discussion, and
opinions differ very much. But those persons who expect
a continued stringency, or at least a sensitiveness of the
loan market, carry the argument still further.
They
cite the well-known principle that the condition of the
money market depends not only upon the ample supply
of loanable capital, hut upon many other conditions. For
example, it depends on the state of financial confidence
and upon the firm tranquillity and the steady operation
of the hanking and financial machinery of the country.
Now, it is notorious that much of the danger which is
apprehended in our money market has been ascribed to

connection with the complicated affairs of the East. It
is difficult, indeed, to resist the conviction that such a
document, so just in its demands, so clear and unanswer¬

rendered impossible the recent war between Russia and
Turkey. In the present situation of affairs, and judging
from the effect it has already produced, it seems a not

Lord Salisbury’s cir¬
cular derives its whole ^strength from the sanctity of
treaties. His lordship takes his ground on the treaty of
1856. That treaty, it is true, was, at the request of Rus¬
sia, modified in 1871, in one or two particulars, the prin¬
cipal of which was the opening of the Straits of the Dar¬
danelles and the Bosphorus to the vessels of war of all
friendly and allied Powers, if in the judgment of the
Sultan “such a step should be necessary to secure the
execution of the stipulations of the treaty of Paris,
March 30, 1856.” The other modifications were few and
unimportant. The treaty of Paris, in all its essential
features, was, on that occasion, re-ratified and re-con¬
firmed.
That treaty was signed by all the Great
Powers, and by Sardinia the representative of the

British Cabinet, the message of the Queen to Parliament
announcing her purpose to call out the reserves, and
particulaily the circular addressed to the various Powers
by Lord Salisbury, the new chief of .the British Foreign
Office, have given a new aspect to the entire situation.

favorable for agricultural work
sowing is now in an. advanced state. It is understood that
there is a fair breadth of land under wheat, and that the acreage
under barley has been considerably augmented. Owing to the
present favorable prospect, the trade is quiet ; bat prices experi¬
ence very little fluctuation.
The quantity of English produce
offering is miserably small, and, consequently, foreign prodace
passes quickly into consumption.
It appears that throughout the
Danubian provinces a good deal of distress prevails, which wan
to have been expected.
Servia is compelled to import cereals,
and it is probable, therefore, that some of the Russian supplies
will be profitably disposed of in the exhausted districts. In India
the wheat crop is promising; but in Egypt doubts are entertained
and
to
a
favorable result.
following figures show the imports and exports of cereal
produce into and from the United Kingdom since harvest, viz.:
from the 1st of September to the close of last week, compared
with the corresponding period in each of the three previous years:

market and Plnanelal Situation.—The anima¬
recently noticed in
tone in
our markets
Wall street has been
more
still continues, and the general
cheerful than at any time this
market has been quite stringent and has ruled at
6<a7 per cent per annum, with a commission frequently paid of
1-64 to 1-32 per day. The high rates are hardly accounted for by
any figures that have appeared in the bank statements, and they
are variously attributed to the usual settlements and shifting of
loans which occur about the first of April, ard to manipulation
for the purpose of kee iDg up stringent rates to affect the siock
market. There are few who anticipate, however, that the present
high price for money will last beyond a few days longer. Com
mercial paper has not been much affected by the call loan market,
and strictly prime paper is in demand at
to 6 per cent, the
figure first-named being rather exceptional and applicable only
to very choice names.
The Bank of England statement on Thursday showed a decline
in specie for the week of £419,000 and a reserve of 32 1-16 per
cent of liabilities against 33 3-16 the previous week. The discount
rate remains at 3 p8r cent.
The Bank of France lost 5,200,000
francs in specie.
The last statement of the New York City Clearing-House
hanks, issued March 30, showed a decrease of $710,175 in the
excess above their 25 percent legal reserve, the whole of such
excess being $15,59S,4C0, against $16,308,575 the previous week.

week and a comparison with the two preceding years:

legal tender quality of coupons has had a good effect.
Railroad bonds are strong and in good demand, some of the

When the
Pennsylvania Railroad begins in May to purchase $100,000 per

will be made quietly of the lowest p*iced *to. ks and bonds ;
whether they will be made on open proposes for the !<wtst
offers ; or whether all those securities lnu^t first b- absorbed
which are hel. by directors and their friends, who “got in *’ at
lower prices than those at which they will now get out of their
holdings.

Panama Railroad,
(For the year ending December 31,1877.)
of - the general superintendent for the year 1877,
The report
furnishes the following:
We have reaped the benefits accruing from united and harmo¬
nious action between the railroad and steamship companies, and
have every reason to be satisfied with the results, which are—
a reduction in operating expenses; second, the greatly
improved condition of the property; and third, an extraordinary
increase of traffic (considering the generally depressed condition
of all trade and commerce), which has been secured by adopting
first,
vigorous, comprehensive, and settled policy.
The gross earnings for the year 1877, from all sources, includ¬
ing rental of property, lighterage, wharfage, sales of water and
ballast, &c„ &c., amounted to $1,988,130, and the expenses were
$456,979, to which must' be added, subsidy paid Colombian
Government, $250,000, and interest on seven per cent sterling
bonds, $209,468, making a total of all expenditures of $916,447;
leaving a net balance of profit amounting to $1,071,683, which is
over 15 per cent on your capital stock.
In further explanation of the above figures, it is right to add
that the cost of 500 tons new steel rails, and of laying same ; the
cost" of 5,500 new lignum-vitae cross-ties ; and of rebuilding a por¬
tion of your wharf property at Aspinwall, are included in oper¬
ating expenses for the past year, “ construction account” having

The number of tons of freight transported in 1877, amounted
146,942 tons, against 126,014 in 1875, and 113,781 tons in 1876;
being an increase in 1877 over 1876 of 33,161 tons. The
number of passengers carried (exclusive of the native travel
between local stations) in 1877, was 22,110, being a decrease of
830 passengers as compared with 1876, which is accounted for by
the extra travel in 1876 to and from the Philadelphia Exposition.

receipts were smaller at New Orleans and Memphis ; hence, the
strength which was exhibited towards the close of Wednesday’s
business, and the buoyancy and activity which prevailed on
Thursday, when there was an active demand to cover contracts,
stimulated by an improvement in the Liverpool market. The
demand for “shorts” having been met, there was a quieter clos¬
ing, which this morning became a decline, as the improvement in
Liverpool, reported yesterday, was not maintained. The early
decline was, however, soon overcome, and an advance established
of 6@10 points, the greater improvement being for this crop.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 334,900
bales, including — free on board. For immediate delivery the
total sales foot up this week 4,125 bales, including 500 for
export, 2,707 for consumption, 918 for speculation, and — in
transit. Of the above, 1,075 bales were to arrive.

The wheat market has been very
active, the sales of the week
aggregating fully 1£ million bushels. The advancing tendency

Receipts at the Western markets are again fully three times as
large as last year, but supplies on the seaboard are comparatively
small. The upper lakes are again open to navigation, and the
Erie and Oswego canals will be open on the 15th inst., a date
fully two weeks earlier than usual. Consequently, it is expected
