and 106 nay, 50 of the latter being from the
eight Eastern States. The three States of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, which gave 44 votes to the Bland bill,
showed the kindred nature of the two attempts by
giving 32 to the repeal bill. The North, although sup¬
porting the Bland bill by 3 to 1, went against the
repeal bill by exactly 2 to 1; the South supported the
former by 13 to 1 and the latter by nearly (f to 1. The
passage of both bills being due to the solid support of
the South, we once more call attention to the bearings
of resumption upon that section particularly.
In the first place, the inflationist idea, expressed by

But they ought to especially and
earnestly favor resumption, because:
1. The South has already paid her part of the price
in suffering and decay, which must be paid in order to
return from inflation to the solid ground.
She has
reached the bottom, in the decline of industries and
values, and is beyond the reach of harm from further
shrinkage and “contraction.” She is down; she has
nothing to fear except staying down, and is ready to
rise.
The Charleston News, in an article we quoted
several months ago, declares that any step backward
will cause past sufferings to go for nothing; that no
addition to the currency can make the country any
richer, and that “ the success of the inflationists will be
disastrous to the whole country, and particularly to the

South.”

a
speculation for a rise; but a very favorable prospect
during the winter for the next crop of wheat in Great

The whole discussion is so purely speculative, how¬

During the earlier part of the week the money market
remained in a very quiet condition.
Although sovereigns continued in request for export, chiefly to Egypt, there was no

Within the last few days, however, there lias been a revival of
the export demand for bar gold, and tbe New York exchange
having been quoted at 4 80£ yesterday, tbe sum of £100,000 was
withdrawn from the Bank for shipment by to day’s steamer. As
we have been importing cereal produce
very extensively from
the United States of late, our indebtedness is just now very con¬
siderable, and, judging from the state o! the exchange, more
than balances what is due to us on account of our exports, and
of the bonds held in this country.
The supply of money in the
discount market is now much reduced, and some reluctance to
lend is evinced.
Hence, the rates of discount in the open market
have had an upward tendency, 3f to 3£ per cent being the pres¬
ent quotation. There-is, however, much discrepancy still between
tbe “ outside” rates and the official minimum, and. an improve¬
ment in this respect is very desirable.
Should the open market
rates of discount improve, the present official minimum of
5 per cent will be more effective, but there is no belief
here that money will become dear.

During the week ended November 10, the sales of home-grown

amounted to 46,202 quarters, against 43,063 quarters last
year;
and it is computed that in the whole Kingdom they were 185,000

quarters, against 192,500 quarters in 1876.

Since harvest, the
principal markets have amounted to 537,473
quarters, against 594,221 quarters, and in the whole Kingdom it
is estimated that they have been 2,150,000 quarters, against 2,377-,

A circular has been

issued, under date of Nov.
15, by Messrs. Hays, Pierson & Du Puy, the committee having in
charge the scheme for the reorganization of this company, from
which we learn that the carrying out of the scheme is tempo¬

rarily delayed by the opposition of bondholders represented by
Messrs. Moraa Bros.
In order to show the comparative weight of
each party in the pending litigation, the circular gives the total
amount of bonds outstanding under the first mortgage, $7,919,920;
of these the committee hold $7,035,540, or 88 84 per cent. The
contestants, who have carried the case on appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, represent holders of $176,000, or 2'22 per
cent.
While the balance belonging to parties who have not
joined in the scheme nor in the litigation is $708,380, or 8*94 p. c.
The schedule complete states the principal amount of the secu¬
rities held by the committee at this date as below ; past due cou-

Loans.—In regard to the

re¬

safety of investments in Western mort¬

some of the prominent agents at the West feel much
aggrieved at the articles of the New York Times and other papers
following its lead. One of our subscribers and advertisers, Mr.
A. C. Burnham, of Champaign, Ill., who has been engaged for
over fifteen years in making loans on Western property, eends us
a circular
containing the following sworn statement of the actual
results of the business of his agency during that time:
gages,

STATEMENT.

Total amount loaned

on

bond and mortgage

from 1861 to November

during this time is 60, amounting

$5,596,478

to
133,978
Forty-three of these foreclosures were made by peremptory sale under
trust deed, and brought the amount of the loan, and in many cases consider¬
ably more.
Ten foreclosures were made through court as provided by statute in case of
the death of the borrower, on which redemption as permitted by Jaw has not
expired, and which will probably be redeemed. In seven only of these fore¬

closures, the property mortgaged was bid in by the lender, three of
be c’osed out at a profit, two for the indebtedness due, and on two

which can
there will

probably be

some loss.
John R. Trevett, of the firm of Burnham, Trevett & Mattis, being first duly
sworn, upon his oath, says the above statement is true.
John R. Trevett.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 20th day of November, A. D. 1877.

Charles E. Baker, Notary Public.

[l.* s.]

Mr. Burnham then remarks: 44 The above statement is the
actual experience of one loan agency during a period beginning
when real estate valuations were inflated to correspond with the

depreciated

currency

of the country, and continuing until

such

valuations have reached a gold basis. It is believed that this
statement will compare most favorably with the experience of
auy firm or corporation in tbe Eastern States for the same num¬
ber of years, and volume of business, and will refute the charges
in the paper mentioned.”
Tbe past years of unparalleled depression have not caused
such a shrinkage in values of farming lands as to endanger the

security on loans judiciously placed, and during all this period
goo4 farms have been in demand and selling at substantial
prices. During times of general depression like the present,
lands in rich agricultural districts depreciate less than other
classes of property, as their products are necessities and must
command a market, while manufacturing and other industries
are idle.

Railway Company give notice in our to¬
day’s issue that the coupons of the consolidated mortgage bonds
of their road, due December 1, 1877, will be paid in gold, on and
after that date, on presentation at the Farmers’ Loan & Trust
Company, in New York, or at the office of the company in
Philadelphia.

of 31 per cent on the preferred stock.
The statement of earniDgs
for tlie six months, June 1 to December 1, will show a large sur¬

plus over the $752,500 required to pay such a dividend. There is
some discussion from time to time as to the pooling arrangements
between the trunk lines, and reports have again been circulated
of late ihat some of the roads, particularly the Grand Trunk of
Canada, were “ cutting” rates, but we are unable to learn of any
serious disagreement
among tbe trunk-line managers, and
conclude that they will not be likely to break up their compact
just as navigation closes.
At the auction sale of coal this week prices were rather lower
than in November, but without much effect on the coal stocks,
and there have again been rumors of another anthracite coal
combination.

To-day, tlie market showed some weakness, and Lake Shore
was

particularly noticeable for a decline from 64£ at tlie opening to

62£ at tlie close, on sales which appeared relatively large on a
dull market; there have lately been reports that some of the
members of the pool were quietly selling out.

The

general market has been quiet the past week, and the
volume of business was lessened by the recurrence of the
Thanks¬
giving holiday; but some large transactions occurred in both
cotton and woolen goods.
Agents representing the products of
the large manufacturing corporations,
being about closing their
annual accounts with the mills, made some liberal sales of
bleached
cottons, &c., by means of price concessions and extended terms of
credit, and heavy cassimeres and cotton-warp worsted
coatings

Goods.—There was a very limited demand for
imported goods, aside from a few specialties that*were taken in
moderate lots for the renewal of assortments. Dress silks ruled
quiet, but there was a fair movement in trimming velvets, and
plushes were in brisk request. Dress goods were lightly dealt
in, and shawls were quiet. Linen goods moved slowly, except
handkerchiefs, which were a little more active. White goods,
laces and embroideries were in light demand, apart from a few
styles adapted to the coming holiday trade, which were taken to
a fair amount by retailers.
Men’s-wear woolens continued quiet,
Italian
and
cloths and satin de chenes moved slowly. The auction
rooms presented few features of interest, and the sales were only
moderately successful.
We annex prices of a few articles of domestic dry goods :
