of the Comptrollers has any legal authority to review, decide upon,
or in any manner control in the two kin's of accounts above
named. The final settlement and the correct payment of these
accounts should be under the supervision of a Comptroller or
other proper officer designated for that purpose. As matters now
stand, in regard to the two classes of accounts named, this office
is not only inconvenienced and imperiled, but it has great rssponBibilities thrown upon it that do not attach in other cases and
ought not in those named.
It is feared tliat through the loose, irregular and anomalous
manner in which these accounts are settled and paid, sooner or
later, the government will suii'er serious losses.
A loss to the Post
Office Department some years since, supposed to have been caused
by the collusion of the then postmaster in the city of New York
and an officer of the Treasury Department, and the recent loss to
the Government through an agency account, would probably have
been avoided had there been a proper officer of the Treasury Department to review the adjustment and the settlement of these
classes of accounts and decide upon the sufficiency of the receipts

given in payment therefor.
It is suggested that the office of a Third Comptroller be created
to take all these accounts and their final settlement in charge, or
that they be given, l^ke all other accounts, for adjustment, settlement and evidence of correct payment of the draft or check issued thereon in charge of one of the present Comptrollers of the

The course of government securities was perhaps the most re
markable feature of the month it had been predicted that large
amovmts of these bonds would be thrown on the market by insurance companies to provide means for paying their losses, but
instead of a large amount of bonds pressed upon the market and
a consequent depression in prices, the exact contrary was the
case, and even with the advertised purchase of only $1,000,000
each week by the government, there was a great scarcity of
government bonds in this market and prices materially advanced.

The stock market was quite firm on a moderate basiness. Prices
of Beveral of the leading stocks advanced, while some of the
Western

stocks, such as Northwestern, Rock Island, «nd the St.
Paul's remained pretty steady at about the game figures. The

Cleveland and Pittsburg road has been leased to the Pennsylvania
Central at 10 per cent on the old stock, or 7 yet cent on an increased capital the Fort Wayne stock has been increased $2,000,000, issued to the Pennsylvania Company, lessors, for improvements made and to be made on the property of the former road,
;

new stock is guaranteed dividends the same as old, but the
guaranty of former stock is in no way affected or impaired by the
new issue. Michigan Central stock was increased by |3,600,000,
sold to shareholders at par. Earnings of the principal roads in
October, the latest month reported, were very fair, considering the
losses sustained by the partial interruption of bosineas for several
weeks in consequence of the Chicago fire. At the close ot the
month there was an apparent feeling of confidence in stocks, and
the weight of feeling aeemed to be on the side of higher prices.

closing prices of railway and miscellaneous stocks during the

The general tendency of gold was downwards, and ca»h gold
was al8<> easier after the first few days of the month, wfai-ii a large
amount of gold loans were matnring and cash gold was made
scarce to enable lenders to renew loans at higher rates tlmii
could otherwise have been obtained. The Ur^'* amount of
Treasury sales $7,000,000 the payment of gold iftterenon Blra.
Twenties, and the prospect that the payment of bonds called in
December 1 would throw a large supply of gold on the m arket
were all inflQenees which tended to depreos the, premium. On
Wednesday, November 20, the last btuinesa day of the mouth, the
Assistant Treasurer at New York cashed plfiOOjOOO of the Tr«M
ury gold checks in payment of Five-Twentlea called in for Dec. 1,
and up t > that day $0,000,000 of the bonds had been forwarded
to Washington, and $8,000,000 had been examined and checks
drawn for them.
Foreign exchange was very much depressed daring the ilrst few
days of November by the stringency in gold, and the best 60 days'
bankers sterling was sold on the street as low as 108^ but sii'tAequently the market recovered as gold became easier, and )Bfen
erally ruled firm until near the close, when there was a reaction
from the highest figures. The banking house which negotiated
the New Tork City loan was reported as drawing freely at times
during the month. It was also oupposod that some of the large
purchases of bills were made by parties to whom Five-Twenty
bonds h^d been sent to be presented for payment December 1
and who bought exchange in anticipation, while the rates were

analysis of it will show that the debt consists of the following

without explanation. No bonds have been issued and no public
debt incurred by or during the present administration. Wlience
arises this increase of the public debt ?
The Auditor leaves the
explanations to the figures of his tabular statement, where it is
discovered that the 8 per cent bonds, payable in New York in

1886 and 1888 and in 1866 and 1868 amounted to about $60,090
re than the Auditor stated them to be in his report of last year.
This sum added to $217,622 32 of Auditor's warrants of past
fiscal year uupaid, and six thousand dollars borrowed under the
former administration, make up it is supposed this increase of the
public debt. With this elucidation of the Auditor's increase of
the public debt, I invite your attention to the following paragraph
found in the Auditor's Report (on page 21 thereof.) " I regret to
call your attention again to the fact that the proceeds of sale of
the bonds of the State of Alabama made long since as per official
information on file in this office have not been certified as required
by law." "The amount stated last year as not having been placed

The fifth class stan I on the same footing as the second, but they
were sold probably at a lower average price.
The Iwnds of the sixth class were sold, nearly all of them, at
rainous rates many of thera bringinf; only 10 to 30 cents in currency ; very many were sold under circumntances which ought to
have put prudent men on their guard sold in a reckless and
gambliug manner, so that it was plain to the most unwary that
the agent ot tiie Company to which they were issued was not
acting with fidelity to thu interests of his principal beside many

said bonds, and that future sale.4 of them would be invalid and
lastly, a large number, according to a report made by a Committee

of the House of Representatives, were issued without the certificate required by law.
The Heventh class, I am ot opinion, the State cannot recognize
but if she owns any property purchased with tlie proceeds ot these
bonds, such property might be surrendere 1 to bona fide purcha.sers
of said bonds before their constitutionality was questioned. Further than this, in my opinion, the General Assembly cannot go.
Tho only remedy whicli the public creditor can possibly make
available, as to the legality of which I express no opinion, is the
enforcement, through the courts, of the provisions of such charters
of the various railroad companies in which the State owns stocic
as subject tiie stock held by the St»te, and all dividends thereon,
to the payment of the principal and interest of the l)ond^ issued
for tlie benefit of such companies. In the case of the North Carolina Railroad Company, the Circuit Court of the United States for
the District of North Carolina, has already decided to subject tho
dividends declared by the Company on the stock Ijelonging to tlie
State to the payment of interest on the bonds of tlie State issned
It is said to be in contemplafor the benefit of that corporation.
tion to ask the Court to order a sale of stock held by tlie State
sufficient to reimburse to the bondholders the dividends heretofore
paid into the public Treasury. I respectfully suggest to the
Qenerul Assembly whether it is not proper to order a sale of all
the stocks owned by the State, to be paid for in the securities for
which sucli stocks were originally pledged. Such a course would
reduce the debt of the State to a large extent, and seems to be
demanded by the terms of the contract with the public creditor.
Tiie last question is, what shall be done with the public debt,
supposing that the State cannot, or will not, pay the interest now,
and will not give any assurance of paying the same within a
reasonable time?
The Governor suggests the following proposition Let the State
create a new debt, issue new bonds beiring three percent interest,
payable in specie, witii a tax imposed in the act sufficient to raise
funds to pay such interest then make it optional with the bondholder to exchange their old bonds for the new issue, or await the
chances of such improvement in the condition of the State as will
secure to them payment of their claims in full. I suggest, without
mak'ng any recommendation either pro or con, that it might be
provided that in lieu of $1,0U0 Ixmds iiearing three per cent
interest, $.'500 bonds bo.iring six per cent interest might lie given
in exchange for each l|l,COO bond held by him.
In my opinion the people can boar tlie burden of such a settlement, and tliose bondliolders who do not tliink they have a specific
lien on valuable stocks owned by the State (e. g., those of the
North Carolina Railroad Company,) would be willing to accept one
proposal or the other. Of course it will be entirely optional with
tlie creditor whether ho will accept eitlier proposition, or await
future developments. By pursuing this course tho Qeneral As
sembly would merely acknowledge frankly a palpable truth; they
would o&er the liest which, in the judgment of many, the people
can do at present, and they would refrain from a repudiation of

to the company iionds for tlie part of the road uncompleted. Concerning this the Albany (Ga.) A'^ewa says;
" Whether Mr. Kimball has received more bonds than thennmher of miles of completed road calls for, as currently reported
and generally believed, we have no means of knowing, and care
but little, as that is Bullock's and the brmdholdera' quarrel, not
believe Mr. Kimball intended in good faith to accomours.
plish all he undertook, and had no thought of overreaching Bullock or of plundering Georgia. Till the contrary is cUarly shown
we sliall give no credence to defamatory rumors and entertain no
suspicion of his complicity with schemes to rob our people."
Early last month the managers of this road commenced running triweekly trains between IJrunswick and Albany.

to ship to Great Britain on consignment, but on the whole the
market baa been without spirit, and the buslnesa of the week
rather below the average. Two moderate lines of extra State sold
on Weduesday at $(> Go. To-day low grades brought 10c. advance,
and no good lines of sliipping extra State can be had under $0 75.
Wheat has been very unsettled. On Monday, with free receipts,
dull accounts Irom abroad, and higher ocean freights. No. 3 spring
•old at $1 40@1 40, but on Tuesday the probable detention of a
million bushels on the canal by ice caused a withdrawal of samples, and on Wednesday No. 8 Chicago sold at |1 .50, with some
speculative demand for amber winter, but common red winter
was freely oflered and sold both Tuesday and Wednesdaj at $1 58
@1 00. The stock of wheat in this market cannot be much lees
than five million bushels, but there is a remarkable falling off in
receipts at all points. To-day holders were firm, but buyers
would not respond, although tavored by a decline of 2d. in ocean
freights; $1 50 was bid and f 1 53 asked for No. 3 Chicago, with
one boat load reported sold at $1 51. The market was generally
dull and prices nominal.
Indian corn declined on Tuesday to 77c. for prime old mixed
afloat, but at the close of Wednesday's report 79c. was paid. New
mixed has come forward in moderate quantities by rail, and sold
75@77*c. Yellow and white quiet. To-day old Western mixed
sold moderately at TO^c, with some at 80c., afloat, and a boat load
of new white Southern at 80c.
Rye has been dull. Barley has experienced a large speculative
advance, selling to-day very freely at l|l for No. 3 Western and
91 28@1 30 for Canada West.
Oats have been in spyulative demand cargoes of prime mixed
opening on Tuesday at 53c., selling on Wednesday at 53i(a54c.,
and to-day to the extent of 100,000 bush, at 5.5c.
The following is an estimate of the quantity of grain detained
by ice on the Krie Canal 500 boats, with 4,500,000 bush, grain, of
which oue-fourth wheat, one-third corn, and the remainder mostly
barley and oats. The Hudson River is frozen over below Albany.

throughout, with business at times coming to an almost dead stop, and
buyers apparently losing all interest. In fact, the views of many holders who
were very much inclined to realize on the late advance w^heuevor an opportunity occurred have been fully verified, and the demand, instead of keeping
up a show of life, has at once dropped the moment that buyers secured a few
necessary supplies, and most of the goods now called for are in the way of
small odd lots to satisfy the urgent necessities of the hour. The intervening

holiday has had some tendency to reduce the volume of business, but six full
business days would probably made very little difference in the aggregate of

sugars evidently were not wanted by any class of buyers. Grocers
weeks have taken no interest whatever, and refiners, instead of selling
their production more freely find the outlet contracting, and purchases of

confident and apparently not at all inclined to part with their goods except at

appears to prevail a slight feeling of confidence among hold"
ers of foreign grades and an indispositiou to force business, as the stocks arc
not very large, can be carried with comparatively little diflicnity, and a large
proportion of them may yet be wanted before the close of the year. The demand most certainly is without life and quite spasmodic in its character, but
still refiners can occasionally be induced to operate to some extent, and a few
calls are uow and then made on Trade account, and if the prospects of light
arrivals are verified, it is not unreasonable to suppose that most desirable parcels can be placed.
The caution of buyers, hoviever, indicates the necessity
of keeping terms pretty easy, and no advance is hinted at, while to secure s
good customer slight concessions are frequently made. On the domestic grade
the position has been weak. There is scarcely any of the old crop left, and
what there is proves mostly undesirable, while of the new crop the arrivals
have been pretty free receivers offered their consignments readily and prices
gave way, some grades showing a falling ofi'of fully 10c, per gallon since onrlast,
though at the decline there a]ipears to be a little more steadiness. Syrups
generally are dull. Sugar House Molasses a little slow at 18@19c. in hhds •

CUFFEG.
Quite a decided change has taken place in the status of this market since
our last and the previou.sIy noted dull and somewhat sluggish tone has given
place to a feeling of much buoyancy at times some little excitement with
prices generally higher. The call has been from both first and second hands
and to some extent speculative bnycrs apparently accepting the situation
willingly, and much confidence now apjjcaring to prevail on all sides and the
present advance it is thought can be sustained with greater ease than the im-

provement early

stimulus was obtained from a more
favorable telegram at hand immediately following our last, buyers at once
commencing operations and taking abont all the desirable lots to be obtained,
a portion to be held on speculation but the bulk going to the Trade. The
force of this influence has in part expended itself and with additional cost of
coffee, there is now naturally a little more caution shown in the bids. Holders,
however, without exception, feel very strong and "bullish" in their ideas
and seem well assured of their ability to fully maintain the market, in view
of the small and well concentrated accumulation, owned by importers, and
the fact that jobbers nearly all holding high-priced sui)plies will find it to their
i nterest to lend a supporting influence.
At the outports there has also been a
very good business doing with a corresponding firmness on values. Java has
not changed to any decided extent, a fair margin already being shown for importers and comiiaratively easy rates proving necessary as an offset to competing grades. For West India styles, however, there has been a good demand
and at higher rates, the market closing strong generally with many of the best
parcels withdrawn for a further advance. The sales here embrace 23.670 bags
Rio and Santos, including 4,778 bags from Europe 7,4.')0 bags Maracaibo
2,650 bags Costa Rica; 2,100 bags Jamaica; 325 bags Savanilla; 34 bags Cnracoa ; 500 mats Java; 2,093 do. before arrival. At Baltimore on spot and to

Later advices from the East Indies report not only a conlinued firmer feel.
ing, but actual contracts made at rates relatively higher than anything current here, and this Is used by holders as a reason for insisting upon extreme
fi jiures and offering goods sparingly. On the other hand, however, at some of the
principal European distributing markets the position is sIo5v and lame, and
goods in many cases can be brought over from the other side at less cost than
onr leading holders at this point are willing to accept, This has Itept ttia

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Fbiday, P.M.. Dec.

1,

ICTl,

Tlie natural dulness of this period of tbe soaDon hag beoii ren.

dercd more marked this week by tlio occtirrcnco of the annaal
Thanksgiving day. Tbe weather has been cold throastbout the
country and a more active retail distribution has been the result.

West are sendinf; in some orders, and there is
packnpe trade doing with the larger Western town*.
It was generally expected that the advance in Westward freights
would not occur until after the Ist inst., and Western dealers
were preparing to make heavy shipments this week at the low
rates.
The advanci; on Monday last prevented this, however, and
their purchases have been of such small amounts only as their
immediate wants required. Tbe demand from the South has been
comparatively small and few orders from that section are coming
in.
Xear-by dealers are doing a fair business and are ordering
Retailers at the

The

cold weather has been decidedly beneficial to the city retail
trade, especially in worsted and other winter goods. Jobbers
report a fair distribution for this season of the year, but agents
little in any class of goods, as package buyers are

are doing very

in

view of the near

new year.
Domestic Cotton Goods.— There have been no marked

ajiproach of tbe

varia-

any class of cotton fabrics during the paat week.
Low grade brown cottons are selling with a fair degree of activity
and are fully sustained. There is less demand for standard or fine
browns, but prices seem to be fully as ste.idy as was noted a few
weeks since. Bleached cottons are in very moderate demand in
all grades.
The supply is liber 1 and prices are, to some extent,
nominal, although there are few quotable changes. Prints sell
fairly for this period, and stocks are kept well under control,
owing to the decreased production. There were rumors early in
tions in prices in

the week that a decline in prices was likely to take place, bnt we
cannot learn that there is any probability of such a movement.

On

the contrary dealers declare the market firm, at the current

tendency to prices. Full 64xtM'3 on the spot nre in veiy small
supply, and holders are asking 7|@7ilc. Contracts are firm at
7i(a8c., and are only taken for late deliveries.
Colored cotton

goods are steady but remain withont special inquiry. Canton
flannels are iluU but the light stocks are held at nominally an•
changed prices.

Domestic Wooi.IN Qoods.—There is a bettor demand for
worsted and some of the lighter descriptions of woolen fabrics,
but the general trade lacks spirit, except with retail dealers.
