Moreover, there

the active
movement in Wall
which requires more money than was wanted a
short time ago to perform the daily business of this financial centre.
Final y, there are a iinmber of minor causes
which just now are in operation to augment the activity
of the money market, and which will soon cease to work,
if they have not already d ne so.
On the whole, it is
argued that so long as there is sucli an enlarged supply
of idle cipital seeking investment at low rates, in the
great money markets of Europe, we shall not be likely
to suffer much 8tringency in New York; because the
telegraph and the facilities of ocean transit have united
us so closely with the finaneial centres of Europe, that
for practical purposes all the money markets may be
regarded as one great reservoir of loanable capital,
av.iilable for the wants of business all over the world.
Such are the chief arguments used to show that the
monetary stringency will not last. On the other side it
is contended that the warlike tone of the European news

not favorable to the continued tranquillity of the

embodying a plan
— The
city council
has adopted an ordinance
of settlement with the city's creditor?. New
bonds of tlie f.ice value of those now in existence are to be issued,
maturing io thirty years, and bearing interest, payable semi-annually, as follows
for the first ten years, three per centum per
annum ; for tlie second ten yrarii, four per centum per annum ;
and for the last tea years, six per centum per annum. The
matured coupons also are to be funded in the saiue manner.
Tlie bonds and tljeir coupons are to be nontaxable by the city,
and as tliey mature are made receivable for taxes and otli»r debts
(in- ilie citv. Provision is also to be made for securing a sinking fund
of at least |50.000 for each of the first succeeding five years;
lOo.OOO for each of tlie next ten years, and $75,000 for each ol
the next succeeding fifteen years. In addition, a contract is to b«
entered into between the holders of the bonds and the city that
they shall be paid acording to agreement. [It is somewhat
doubtful whether thi< plan will be accepted, and another is likely

IFrom our own correspondent.]
London, Saturday, March 23, 1878.
full text of the Treaty of San Stefano has now been pub-
lished, but nothing very fresh has
been disclosed. Even those
newspapers that were favorable to Russia are alarmed, however,
at the changes which are proposed, and especially at the extent
of territory that the Russian Government assigns to the New
Bulgaria. If the Conference meets, some alterations will be made
in the clause which details the proposed limits of the new principality, aa races are included that are not Bulgarian but Greek.
It is probable, however, that the result of the approaching Congress
will be more unfavorable to Turkey, aa several of the powers,
and especially England, are anxious to see a power possessing
more vigor in the place of fallen Turkey, which would act as
a check to Russian influence. The cause of Greece is to be taken
up, and it is now said that Thessaly and Epirus will at no distant
date be added to the Grecian Empire. People are very anxious
to know if the Congress will meet and if the existing difficulties
are to be settled in a friendly way. The present uncertainty is
very prejudicial to many in',erests, and a termination to it is
anxiously desired.
Very little of interest has transpired in the money market
during the week.

that reason the directors of the Bank are justified in remaining
at 3 per cent. It must of course be borne in mind that the supply

a low ebb. As long as there are so many political uncertainany improvement can scarcely be expected, and there must,
therefore, be a continuance of active competition for a limited
quantity of business. It is said by some that we are losing, or
have lost, our trade, and that we shall not again be the great
commercial country we have been. Had the badness of trade
been peculiar to this country, there might be some truth in the
assertion; but the commerce of the world is bad, and we are only
Buffering like
other nations.
There is no doubt that we shall
in future encounter increasing competition; but the world's wants
are increasing, and possibly, when the political affairs of Europe
are settled upon a pacific basis, the increase will be more distinct
than it is at present. The world, just now, is very economical,
except in the case of armaments; but when the Congress has
confirmed the treaty of peace, much will have to be done to
repair the heavy losses which the war has brought about.
It is

From Oldham, however, we learn that on Thursday morning
Messrs. CoUinge opened their mills, and a large number of operatives started work. This was equivalent to an end of the strike,
and it was resolved to call a meeting of the Employers' AssociaYesterday afternoon a meeting was held, and the following
tion.
"Messrs. Collii^ge having
resolution was unanimously passed:
reported that th-^y have made a satisfactory start, it is resolved
that all the other members of the Association open their mills
to-morrow."
The strike has lasted five weeks and the lock out
four. The operatives return to work on the masters' terms. Much
suffering has been caused in the town, the loss in wages alone
liaving been about £25,000.
Messrs. Watson, Hanmer and Co. have received the following
from their Egyptian correspondent, dated Alexandria, 9th March:

for
an advanced state. It ia 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
but prices experience very little fluctuation. The quantity of English produce
offering is miserably small, and, consequently, foreign produce
passes quickly into consumption.
It appears that thioughout the
Danubian provinces a good dtal of distress prevails, which wag
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
aa to a favorable result.

bonds of the D.ikota Southern Railroad Company oiTered
by Messrs, VValston H, Brown & Brother present peculiar advantages to those seeklns; a desirable investment; at the price at which
they are offered, viz ninety and accrued intere.«t, they pay nearly
eight per cent a year. Tie road is doing a constantly increasing
business and it is reasontble to suppose with the increased summer traffic the earnings will be largely augmented.
We learn that Mr. Charles Morgan purchased on March 27,
from the Houston & Texas Central Railway t.'ompany, $250,000
of its consolidated bonds at seventy, ex the April, 1878, coupons,
and that the proceeds were applied by the comp.iny to the payment of secured notes held here.
The Ontario Silver Mining Company announces another
donble monthly dividend for March of $1 per share, payable by
Wells, Fargo & Co. on the 15th.

The noner inarket and Financial Miiiuflon.
tion recently noticed in ourmailiet-' atill continues, and Uiu general
tone in Wall street has been more clieerful than at any time this
year.
The 111 rev market hna been quite stringent and has ruled at
6@7 per cent per annum, with a comtninsion iriquently paid of
1-64 to 1-32 per day. The high rates are hardly accounted for by
any
fli;ures tliai have appeared in the bank statements, and ihev
are variou.sly attributed to the usual stttleniea's and thilting of
loans which occur about the first of April, ai d to manipu ation
for the purpose of kee ing up stringent rates to nffec^ t;'.e stock
market. There are few who anticipate, however, tht the present
high price for money will last beyond a few days longer. Com
mercial paper has not been much aflected liy the call loan market,
and strictly prime paper is in demand at 4i to 6 per cent, the
figure first-named being rather exceptional and applicable only
to very choice names.
The Bauk of England statement on Tliursdav showed a decline
in specie for ih« we.k of £419,000 and a rese'rve of 3i 1 IG per
cent of liabilities against 33 3-16 the previous week. The discount
rate remains at 3 par cent.
The Bank of France lost 5,300,000
francs in spcie.
The last stiteinent of tho New York City Clearing-llouse
bank.s, issued March 30, showed a decrease of $710,17.5
in the
excess above their 25 per cent legal reserve, the wbole of
such
exce.'s being 613,598,4(0, against |16,::08,u7o the previous week.

The bond importers have not been active bnyei-.n ot

Slate bonds have
a decided recovery in tone.
Alabama consols class "A,"
have sold at -14. Louisiana consols sold to day at 70, after
declining to 74^ during the week.
South Carolina cooso's good
numbers, have sold at 89 to 90, and are wanted, while rejected
numbers are quoted at Co to 70. Virginia consoU are strong at
59i((i:.59J, and coupons, 83, but the 'pealers ar
quite dull.
In
Louisiana the Court has refused to erant a mandamus to compel
the issue of new bonds lately autliorized, and it i,< reported hat
tho money to pay July interest has been arranged for.
In
Virginia the decision of the Court of A| peals sustaining fully the
legal ten'ler quality of coupons Ims had a good effect.
Kailroad bonds are strong and in good demand, some of the
bonds of well known roads having advanced sharply among
these the Kansas Pacifies being most conspicuous.

The stock market
been, upon 'he whole, strong- and tolerably active.
The
features which warrant a better tone in stocks, so ar as their
actual values are coicerned, we have lately adverted to in our
refortH, and, in addition to these, is the important fact, which
seems to he generally conceded, that there ij st present no bear
interest of any onsequ>nce in the market.
The principal operators are believed to be on the bull side, and granting that stocks
likely
to
are more
advance than f'ecline, the question arises
whether the public will come in as purchasers. There are Eome
stocks which may have a better prospect of paying dividends
herealter, and which at present prices offer some inducement to
purchasers, so that they will be taken up in moderate lota for
investment but as to any general speculative move by outside
buyers, similar to the acive transaitions formerly witnessed
in our market, we think there is little reason to expect it.
Michigan Central has declared a dividend of 2 per cent for
the current six months, and in
his connect! n should be
taken the remarks in our report of January 12, 1878, as follows
"Reducing the possibilities in regard to the trunk lines to a single
question, perhaps the inquiry Can .Michigan Central earn a
dividend in tlie next six months? would cover nearly tlie whole
situation.
This road is a type of those which have been suffering for some years under the low freight rates, In avy intresl
and rental charges and a floating debt, and if the times shall
change sufii'Mently to nable it fairly to earn a dividend again,
witli the great economies which have been practiced, 'he change
would be ninferinl indeed." There have been daily fluctuations
of more or less importance, occasioned fn quently by a realizing
proce.ss wh, n blocks h-'Ve been thrown on the market to reap
the advanlasre of the advance already established. To day, the
afternoon market was weaker on sales of the sort referred to.

compared with last year of 410,010 10 tons, or 10'39 per
cent
and an increase of 311,46419 tons, or 5 per cent, over any prevl*.
ous year. The coal was derived from the following sources:
Jnucstments
Eegions.
The Investors' Supplement is published on the last Saturday
of each month, and furnished to all regular subscribers of the
Chronicle. No single copies of the Supplement are sold at the
office, as only a sufficient number is printed to supply regular
subscribers. One number of the Supplement, however, is bound
•ap with The Financial Review (Annual), and can be purchased
in that shape.
ANNUAL
REPORTS.
Lehigh Valley Railroads
{For the year ending Novemher 30, 1877.)
The annual report of this company is just issued; the President
remarks:
" Notwithstanding the interruptions to our trade in consequence
of the general strike of railroad train hands, aud of the suspension ot work ill the mines in the Wyoming coal field, which
lasted for ten weeks, tbe total coal tonnage of our roads exceeds
that of any previous year.
' The following are the totals for each of the past five years,
including both anthracite and bituminous coal:
Tons,
Tone.

"This shows an increase over 1876 of 404,263 tons, and an excess
of 314,001 tous over the business of 1874, which has been our
large.st tonnage heretofore.
The above figures do not includt)
any coal carried over our Pennsylvania & New York Railroad,
except such as has passed over a part of the Iiehigh Valley Railroad. The accompanying report of the former company will show
their tonnage, which has also largely increased over any previous
year.
The continued low price of coal has made necessiry a
further reduction in the rates of transportation and has correspondingly reduced our gross income, the average rate of tolls
from Slauch Chunk to Perth Amboy having been for 1877 98J
cents as compared with $1 70 5-12 for tbe previous year.
Our income from ail Bonrces, incluling interest re1817.

{For the year ending December
31, 1877.)
The
report of the general superintendent for the year 1877,
furnishes the following
:
We have
reaped the benefits accruing from united and harmonious action between the railroad and steamship companies, and
have every reason to be satisfied with the results, which are
first, a re Suction in operating expenses;
second, the greatly
improved conditi-in of the property; and third, an extraordinary
increase of traffic (considering the generally depressed condition
of all trade and commerce), which has been eecured by adopting
a vigorous, comprehensive, and settled policj.
The gross earnings for the year 1877, from all sources, including 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, $350,000, and interest on seven per cent sterling
bonds, $309,463, 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 tbe above figures, it is right to add
that tbe cost of 500 tous new ateel rails, and of laying same
the
cost of 5,500 new lignum-viiaj cross-ties and of rebuilding a portion of your wharf property at Aspinwall, are included in operating expenses for the past year, " construction account" having
been closed long ago.

TRAFFIC.
1'he number of tons of -freight transported in 1877, amounted
to 146.942 tons, against 136,014 in 1875, and 113,781 tons iu 1876;
being an increase in 1877 over 1876 of 83,161 tous. The total
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 Philadeiphia Exposition.

{For the year ending December 31, 1877.)
The annual report haa the rollowing
There have been received from gross earninsfs of your road
daring the year, $I,C.'>4,387, and paid out for ordinary working
expenses, $1,0013,538, and for interest and rents, $603,519, leaving
as net receipts, |4T,17i). The payment during the year just
closed of the tloating debt of the company, consisting principally
of notes payable at short periods of time, and amounting to
|9'38,930, has relieved the company of a great annoyance and is
matter of just congratulation.
This, together with the payment
ol Somerset bonds, amounting to $98,100, redeemed during the
year, relieves the company from all liabilities, except the payment
of tlie coupons on its bonds, as they fall due, and its ordinary
:
working expenses.
Tho cost of the construction of all improvements made upon
the road during the last year, has been included in the ordinary
working expenses of the year our improvement account having
been d scontinued.
From tlie condition of our company, though we have not had
that increase of business which we had hoped and expected, but a
decrease in the gross amount of our receipts, we perceive no
caa3e lor discouragement.
ir net esrnings have increased; our
road in all departments has been improved, and its permanence,
safety and facility lor transacting business largely increased.

$37,.505, or about fourteen per cent.; from freight, increased
$19,050, or about five and one-fourth per cent, and from other
Bource3, increased $1,013,81.
In the nuinbarof through paaseagers there was an increase of abiut ten po: cent, and in the
number of local passengars, a small incrr'aae. In the early part
of the year the rates lor transportation of local passengers were
advanced, to which a part of the increase in revenue is due.
The gross tonnage transported during the year increased 30,937
tons, or about thirteen and three-fourths per cent, as compared
with the transportation during the privioui year. The transportation of sugar and molasses d-creased by reason of the partial
lailure of the sugar crop in Louisiana that of general merchandise increa.iod; and that of cotton i.-creased 10,336 bale.x.
Full
detailed information regarding tlie transportation of passengers
and freight is given in the statemen's appended to the report. The
number of train miles run duriu? the twelve months was 541,455,
an increase of 37,617, or about five per cent, as compared with

Chesapeake & Ollin. This railroad was sold at Richmond,
April 2, for $2,750,000. It was bought by A. S. Hatch, of New
York, as Chairman of the Committee of Purchase aad Recrgani
zation, consisting of A. S. Hatch, C. P. Huntinsrton, A. A. Low,
and John Castree, of New York, and Isaac Davenport, of Richior themoelves and others. The purchase was made in
pursuance of a plan of reorganization, in which over nine-tenths
of the bondholders under Chesapeake & Ohio mortgages united.
The amount lor which the property was sold is more than
sufficient to cover the bonds of the Virginia Central Railroad
Company outstanding, with the past due interest on the same,
the expenses of foreclosures, etc., and all claims having priority
of the 6 and 7 per cent bonds of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
Company, the amount of such prior liens being understood to be
about two millions. The time for other bondholders to join in
the purchase will probably be extended.

p. M., April
5,
1878.
There was a buoyant acd active market for flour early iu the
week, when some 50,000 bbls. of low extras were taken for
export at f5 lu(S$5 80.
But this business was checked on
Wednesday by peace reports from Europe, and was only partially
resumed yesterday at a decline of 10c. per bbl. General trade
has been better and all grades seem to be in stronger position.
Production continues large, however, at all points. Rye flour
has been active at higher prices, in pympatliy with the advance
in the grain.
Corn meai, on the contrary, has materially declined,
especially for Western. To-day, the market was dull and heavy.
The wheat market has been very active, the sales of the week
aggregating fully 1^ million bushels. Tbe advancing tendency
was checked on Wednesday, but no important decline took place
in lots on the spot futures, however, were comewhat depressed.
Receipts at the Western markets are again full;; three times as
large as last year, but supplies on the seaboard are comparatively
small. The upper la';ies 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
;
.that supplies of grain at this port will be exceptionally large in
May.
To-day, business

prices
were drooping and
unsettled.
Indian corn has been moderately active, prices varying someto day; but, as compared with last Friday, showing little change. The supplies of yellow and white corn have

movement in nearly all
descriptions of domestic cotton and woolen goois
from agents'
hands, and business continued light with importers. The jobbing trade remained fairly active, but there was apparently less
spirit in the demand than was witnessed the previous week, and
buyers evinced a marked degree of caution in their operations,
despite the remarkably low prices at which nearly all kinds of
goods were offered. There were comparatively few fluctuations
in values, but prints, drees goods, and spring woolens continued
unsettled, and price concessions could have been readily obtained
on some makes by close buyers. The production of printed
calicoes, which has been excessive for some time past, has been
materially curtailed within the last fortnight or so, and the
Merrimack, Knickerbocker, Freeman's, Dunnell's, and Oriental
print works are now closed, while other printers al-e running
slowly, and preparing to stop.

Denims, tickings, dyed ducks and corset jeans were in fair
demaad and firm. Bleached shirtings continued unsettled, but
considerable sales of low grades were effected by means of price
concessions or increased discounts.
Print cloths were a shade

at first hands, but extremely low prices enabled jobbers to effect
liberal sales. Ginghams continued active, but cotton dress goods
were somewhat sluggish.
Domestic
Woolen Goods.— There was
a continued light and
movement in men's- wear woolens from first hands,
