:
Let the Treasury set aside fifty millions of ".oUara, in currency, to be loaned on United States bonds, at n:i.ety cents on the
dollar, as collateral at a rate of interest two per cent, higher
than the collateral bonds bear.
This plan will afford money when it is needed hy the people or
banks, and the loans will ha paid back at soon as t>>o much for
business purposes is afloat. The high rate of interest will make
the loan department profitable to the Qoverament, and will insure
contraction of the loans in easy money times.
It will be seen also that those who carry Government bonds
bearing the lowest rate of interest can borrow money when
needed at a corresponding low rate therefore the adoption of this
scheme would greatly popularize the holding of Uovernment
bonds by the business community, and would lacilltato the floating among our own people of a United States debenture, bearing
a low rate of interest, with which our present six per cent, debt

At the hdjourned meeting of the shareholders of the Grand
of Canada, which was held on Thursday, the
Board were authorized to apply to the Canadian Parliament
for an act to continue the provisions of the Grand Trunk Arrangements Act, 1862, so far as relate to the first and second preferential
Trunk Railway
bonds, for a further period of three years, commencing on the Ist
of January, 1873, and also for power to create and issue further
bonds of the company, to be termed second equipment bonds, for
the nominal amount of £1,100,000, to rank in all respects pari
patsu with the second equipment bonds authorized to be created by
the third section of the Grand Trunk Railway Act, 18C7, provided
that £500,000 of the nominal amount fo to be created shall be
applied solely in the redemption of the first equipment bonds of
the company. Special resolutions of thanks, and votes to Mr.
Potter, the President, of 1,200 guineas, and to Mr. Allport of 1,000
guineas, were unanimously passed
but both these gentlemen
declined to accept any money payment. The whole programme
of the President was unanimously approved,, and the necessary
arrangements will, it in said, bo forthwith made for putting the

Advices from Australia mention that the new

British account. The opening prices were, therefore, high.
The corn trade during the week has been quiet, and the variations in prices have been unimportant. -The reduction in the
Bank rate has given a more cheerful appearance to it, but without leading to any increase of business. The weather has been
wet and tempestuous, and the sowing of Winter wheat is
therefore in a very backward state; and it is feared that should
the present Winter be as mild as the last, it will be again followed
by a cold and unpropitious Spring. In France, wheat is less
freely offered, and this fact has given some firmness to the trade.
There is no doubt that during the four and a half months which
have elapsed since the French harvest, the stcoks, by consnmp.
tion and exportation,
have been very largely reduced. Perceiving,
therefore, that -wheat is not likely to get cheaper, French farmers
are less anxious to sell, and for that reason our importations from
France
may
not improbably
fall
off.

The sharp rise in Tennessees Is believed to be partly speculative,
and resulting from the purchases made to cover " short" sales.
Vireinia bonds are st'onger. from the anticipated financial action
in the State, including; the decLsion in t'le coupon case, which is
expected to be in favor of the holders. In Missouri it was voted
rect-ntly to invest the State sclionl fund of aiout $1,800,000 in
Missouri Statt> bonds, which has hitlierto been in U. S. bonds.
Ra Iroad bonds are s;entrally stronger on the old issues ; this is
particularly so with the Central Pacific and Union Pacific bonds,
which have be n more active. There has also been a well-distributed demand for the other leadin? mortgage bonds. New
loans Iiave leen dull for some time, but are expected to be active

cent amounts to $1,207,033 15, of which amount only $.502,810 20

has been paid, leaving $704,216 95 unpaid.
The balance on hand
in the treasury th^i 1st of October, 1872, was $1,098,499 03— with
the $704,916 95 unpaid, but subject to call at any moment. Tliat
latter sum paid, there would only remain in the treasury $394,283
08 to meet the January interest. This is based on the ra e of 4
per cent interest. At the rate of
per cent, there would be an
additional $585,188 89, which would have left the treasury with a
deficit of more than two hundred thousand on the 1st of October

and become parties to the suit. The receiver is now paying 80
per cent of the coupons proved and due.
On the first of January next there is due and payable another

The Second Auditor tells us that to pay 4 per cent, Jan., 1873
and July, 1873, with the lalance due, will require $1,922,034. At
the rate of 6 per cent, more than another million would be added
to the amount, making a gross total of upwards of three millions
to be paid iu interest by the first of July, 1873.
This would render necessary receipts to the amount of four and a half millions

First Report Under tub Consolidation. From the report
of the Board of Directors of the above consolidated company, for
the fiscal year endinor September 30, 1872, we extract the following: On the third day of August, 1870, the New York and New
Haven Railroad Company and the Hartford and New Haven Rail
road Company entered into a perpetual agreement by which all
the railways and properties of both con.oiations, except ail
moneys, claims and demands which should thereafter become due
on account of subscriptions to the capital stock of either corporation, became ajoint estate ani were brought under the control
and management of a joint board of managers. Under this
agreement the net earninjis of the two roads, after the payment
ot all expeuses, liabilities and interest, were to be divided lietween the two corporations in the proportion of 57 per cent, to the
former company and 43 per cent, to the latter company. It was
also provided in said agreement that as soon as the necessary
legislative Huthority could be obtained the two corporations should
be merged and consolidated into one company, and that all apportionments of capital stock under sucii consolidation should lie
made on the basis of 57 per cent, to the New York and New
Haven Railroad Company and 43 per cent, to the Harttord and
New Haven Railroad Company.
On tlie Cth of August, 1872. under and pursuant to acts of the
Legislatures of the States of Connecticut and Massachusetts, authorizinsi the same lo be done, the Hartford and N'jw Haven
Railroad Conivaoy was merged into and consolidated with the
New York and New Haven Railroad Company, and the name of
the latter company changed to that ot the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Company.
By the acts of the legislatures of Connecticut and Massacliuaetts the capital of the consolidated corporation was limited
to the aggiegate of the capital stocks of the two corporal ious.
This amounted to $15 500,0;)0, the capital slock of the New York
and New Haven Railroad Coinpnny being $9,000,009, and .hat of
the Hartford and New Haven Railroad fC.oOO.OOO. It, was necessary, under the partnership agreement of August 3. 1870, that
in consolidating the two corporations the $15,500,000 of the capital stock ot the consolidated company should be divided between
the two companies in the proportion of flity -seven and forty-three
as above stated. Under this division the stockholders o( the New
York and New Haven Railroad Company would have received

ranged tliat the stockholders of eac'i of the twocampanies should
receive one share ot the stock of the consolidated company for

paid for in cash by the consolidated company. The Hartford and

During the year ending October 1, 1872,083,147 miles were rnn

nowavoided, and with the facilities of quiu i transit by steam be*

reason to believe will be secured within the next two years, it is
safe to assume that the passenger business ol the roa will be

points it appears to have passed the worst stage, and the horses
are now improvina again. This malady, however, together with
the unusually cold weather referred to above, must have prevented the free movement of cotton during the week, and account
therefore for the small receipts.
Prices Advance. The strong market developed this
week, both^ere and at Liverpool, may be accounted for as follows
1. Of late the trade of Great Britain has been in a measure
paralyzed, partly by the high rate of the interest prevailicg, but
more particularly through the fear of a much higher rate and the
general uncertainty with which monetary affairs have been enThe apparent weakness ot the French Government has

also served to complicate the matter. For about three veeeks now
the condition of the Bank of England haa been improving, and
during the last week the improvement has been marked, resulting in a decline in the official minimum rate to 5 per cent. Within
the pvst three days also French affairs have been wearing a more

held all enterprise in check, and one of the consequences is more
animation in cotton.
2. Just at the same time a fear of a short supply finds double
encouragement. First The receipts at our ports are not as large
as anticipated for this period, and unlesa there are special reasons
for this, our crop will come short ol tUe prevailing estimates.
Second Although the India crop up to last week has promised
well, yet the amount afloat for Europe to-day from that quarter is
only 100,000 bales, aaainst 263,735 bales for the same date last
year, while the weekly arrivals at Bombay continue only about
six or seven thousand bales, against about twenty-five thousand
bales during the same period of 1871. Besides last Friday our
Bombay telegram reported a severe storm in that quarter, from
which great damage was feared, and to-day the accounts continue
unfavorable.
8. While, therefore, the future has about it these new uncertainties the prasent small stock at Liverpool is rapidly molting
away. To day Liverpool reports but 365,000 bales stock, with
218,000 bales afloat, against 458,000 bales stock, and 400,000 bales
afloat same date last year. The world's markets for goods are also
improving Eastern stocks, which were heavy, are being worked
off, and the general prospact of spinners has become more satisfactory than was reported a short time since.

market, the past week, for
has continued steady, and holders have realized
better prices. We quote retail price a* 18c. cash. One or two
large parcels, January delivery, might be had at 13o. cash. April
and May delivery, at 13jtc. cash, at which abaut 2,000 rolls have
bean sold for those months.
hear of no contracts yet made
for all next year's delivery by any of the mills, though 14c. is bid
without sellers. Borneo continues quiet, selling in a small way
at 14c. cash. India bales dull and nominal. Bags remain quiet
and firm at 14}@14fc. cash. If holders would concede a little in
prices, quite a trade might be done.
hear of a sale of 100
bales at the above quotations. Butts have been quite steady during
the week, but at the close are not quite so firm. Sales have
ranged from 2J<g2Jc. cash, and time for lots of 50@500 bales, the
latter price being for small parcels, extra quality.
Some sales
have been made to arrive, and we hear of 1,000 bales, but prices
have not transpired. Among the recent transactions are 500 bales
at 2 l-16c. cash 500 bales Boston at 2io. cash 500 bales at

have had a quiet market for flour and grain during tho
past week, with prices showing some irregularity.
The receipts of flour have fallen off to about the average
wants of the market, but the demand has been very limited
throughout, and prices have had a downward tendency, especially
for the low and medium grades, which receivers have been
anxious to sell from the wharf. December is, however, usually
a dull month in the flour trade
to the utmost.
The home

is
tested
trade buys sparingly, and in the pres-
ent case shippers have been held in check by great scarcity and
high rates of ocean freights. Some Southern flours have been
taken for South American. Rye flour has brought full prices,
with corn meal tending slightly upward. Today the market was
firm, but quiet in all grades.
Wheat has been almost
at a standstill and prices are nnsettled
most part nominal. Very little freight room has
been available, and shippers have consequently been much restricted in their operations. The milling demand has been small.
Spring wheats have experienced soma decline from these causes,
but Winter wheats have ruled very firm, and the business done,

The oflferings continue very liberal, and
the market remains dall, sales being
way.
Buyers would be more liberal operators if holders couldbe induced to concede a
shade from the current quotations, hut this importers are not disposed to do,
and the market remains dull in consequence. The new crop teas which will soon
be arriving will cost, laid down here, considerably more than the prices that
could be realized on them. This fact, with the full supplies that are now in
the market. Is a discouraging one for holders, but they still show a disinclina.
tion to sell at the present unremunerative prices, and prefer holding until next
year, anticipating a better demand and advanced rates. To carry so large
stock is a burden that the trade in its present financial condition can ill afford
to bear, but they will be more likely to weather tlirough without serious loss
than they would be were stocks to be sacrificed at the present pnces. The
market closes quiet and weak In black grades, though sellers refuse to concede
anything. Greens and Japans sell moderately and are steadier. The sales are

bayers by about an eighth. The aupply of hbdd. haa been reduced somewhat,
while tbeie haa been a alight Increaae In the atock of boxes and bags. The
aupply, however, la sot sufficiently large to weaken the market, and the depression la due entirely to the absence of trade, which holders are endeavoring to correct by conceding a fraction In buyers* favor. The demand for refined sugars has been so extremely light that many reflners have shut down,
and Ibelr stoppage has bad a atrengthenlng effect upon the market for reined
sngars, which are held steadier, though at unchanged figures. The business
In refined grades has Improved slightly during the week, and this also creates a better feeling, and the outlook is considered good for higher rates.

of about 500 bbls.
There Is still
BomethlDg of a tendency In buyers' favor, though it is unlikely that prices
go far below the current range. Refiners have bought very sparingly
during the week and there has been but little inquiry for grades auitable for
their requirements. The wants of refiners have been curtailed materially by
[he stoppage of a large number of refineries, but with very light supplies
holders remain firm and adhere to full former rates. Foreign grocery qualities have been inquired for to a considerable extent, partly for the wants of
the home trade, but more directly for export to Canada. The sales have Ineluded 570 hhds, Cuba at 26®98c ; 810 Porto Rico in trade lots at 35@55c. ; 175
