would have swept from the path of currency reform a
great mass of irredeemable paper money which now
blocks the way and retards the resumption of specie
payments. The second expedient which Mr. McCuUoob
recommended is the passage by Congress of an act declaring that at a given period the greenbacks shall cease

Treasury shall be authorized at once to offer in exchange
for them, bonds bearing interest at the rate of four per

Moreover, the surplus revenues
of the government were to be held for the redemption of
the greenbacks if they should not be exchanged for
bonds prior to the day of resumption. Finally, the business of banking was to be free after specie payments
were restored.
Among the improvements which have been suggested
to this plan, one of the most valuable is that of the
pre.sident of one of our larger city bankn.
In a recent
communication to us he lays down three questions as
to the alternatives of resumption.
First, can we import

secondly, can we obtain these two hundred millions in

of assessing each $100 worth of property at $60, the rate
of taxation must have been raised in proportion, and the

reason mentioned by the Commissioners is that to have
made such a reduction at " a time of commercial gloom
and disaster would have inflicted a blow upon the credit
of the city and her merchants and traders which would
have reacted upon the owners of real estate, whose
interests are inseparable from the interests of those whose
capital and business give value to the real estate of the
city."

Revenue per mile
No account of expenses is given. The larger revenue derived
from a smaller aggregate tonnage than that of 1875, is due to the
increase in 1876 of freights of the higher classes.
The Trustees of the Mariposa Company have levied an
assessment of one dollar per share on both the preferred and
common stock, payable at the executive office of the Company,
Nos. 9 and 11 Nassau street, on or before Dec. 11, after which
date it will be delinquent and liable to a charge of three dollars
each certificate for advertising sale.

The inoney Market aad Financial Situation. The week
tiaving been broken by the Thanksgiving holiday has shown a
comparatively dull busim-sB. One of the noticeable features was
the decline in gold to lOSJ, the lowest figure readied since tlie
exceptional depression in the panic of 1873. It is quite generally conceded that our national affairs are in a disturbed condition, which would tend under ordinary circuinstauces to advance
the price of gold rather than depress it aud it in also true that
the imports of specie, however significant as an index to the
present condition of the foreign exchanges, are not really suflidentin amount to afffct permanently our gold market. It is,
therefore, believed by many of our bankers that this decline in
gold is owing almost entirely to present market influences, and
has no general significance as indicating a genuine move in the
value of our currency towards the specie basis. Tliat the causes
for fluctuations in gold should be pretty clearly understood is a
matter of the deepest interest to the business communliy.; and
while any step toward specie payments, based on good and substantial grounds, would be hailed with satisfaction by nearly all,
it is impossible to see any causes for rejoicing in n temporary
fluctuation in gold, arising from the immediate influences on the
market which affect the supply and demand.
Money has been easy on call, with the prevailing rates 3@4 per
cent until to-day, when there was an advance, towards the close,
to 5@6 per cent.

State and Railroad Bonda.—Thore is little new to notioe
as to Southern State bonds, since their prices from one day to
another must depend on the varying aspect of political affairs in
the several States. District of (!oIumbia 3-653 are quoted today at 08.} bid. The last Congress appointed a special committee to devise and repDrt a form of government for the District
of Columbia, and their sub committee, it is stated, have agreed
upon a bill to propose, the principal provisions of which are aa
follows
1. The District
shall be governod by three commissioDers, who shoU report
annaatly to Congres?, throu'ih the Secretary of the Treasury, tho amount
necepsary to meet the accruing indebtedness and defray expenses.
?. Congress shall appropriate 40 per cent., and tO per cent, shall be raised by
taxation." Tlie rate of taxes is fixed at 1% per cent, on real estate, and 1 per
cent, on personal property.
3. Tliat hereafter the interest on tho 3-65 District of Coltunbia bonds shall
be paid by tlie Secretary of the Treasury, and charged against the 40 per cent,
approprtjtion.

The Bank of England weekly report on Thursday showed a
decrease for the week of £1,000,000, and the discount rate remains
unchanged at 2 per cent. The Bank of France gained 914,000
francs in specie.
The last statement of the New York City Clearing-House banks.
Issued November 25, jhowed an increase of $466,775 in the excess
above their 25 per cent, legal reserve, the whole of sucli excess

Differences.
Vnlted Slates Bonds. — Governments have shown some
at lower prices up to Wednesday, but with quite a
Teaetion to-day. The lower prices of bonds called out more
orders, and hence tlie advance as soon as gold showed more
firmness.
The five-twenties of 1805, old and new, have been the
most active, and advanced most to-day, while new fiyes continued
quite weak. With those who consider the decline in gold as not
—
likely to be permanent, the sixes of 1865 offer a good purchase,
in consequence of the low figures reached under the expectation
of speedy funding. A moderate aiuouut of bonds was sold here
to-day for foreign account.

—The
stock market
has not been characterized by any decided movement, nor by any
development of new information affecting values. Business
having been interrupted by the holiday, and by the continued
unsatisfactory condition of political affairs at the South, it Is not
surprising that the week closes with prides generally drooping.
The grand movements of stock operators in tlie past two years
have been made, aa a rule, in the bear campaigns, and the prospect of a permanent advance in prices has often proved fallacious
hence it occurs that a larga number of the professional operators
are mosl of the time bears, and trust more in their ability to break
down prices than to lift them. It has been quite confidently
asserted that the Trunk line officers have recently agreed on a
general outline of terms for the settlement of the war on Bastbound freiglits, and that this is to be on the basis of equal rates
from tho Nonliwest to Europe by way of all the ports, and a
difference of Zi cents per hundred in favor of Baltimore, and 2
cents in favor of Philadelphia, as against New York, on fourthclass freight not exported. This difference is to remain the same,
Some difficulty ia
also, wliethor the rates are higher or lower.
reported to have arisen at the outset on the question of determining what grain is for export, and as yet no definite announcement of an agreement has been made.

Kjtcli«nare._The lower prices of gold brought some mercanpurchasers of exchange into tho market, and thus slimulated
business to some extent. The importers of gold are also buyers
of bills, and these two parties have done most of the business,
lo-day, there was hardly as much done as for Wednesday's
steamers, and prices were about 4.8104.84 for bankers' 00 days'
Bteriing bills, and 4.83@4.83 for demand.
The bills of a promiJ
nent banking firm handling cotton bills largely were offered
rather more freely than other prime bankers'. •
Tho rates of domnstic exchange on Now York at the undermentioned ci'.ies to-day were: Savannah, J off.-red; Charleston,
offerings light,, nominally f@i^, selling par; St. Louis, 125 to 175
discount; New Orleans, commercial. 11-10, and bank,}; Cinclanati, dull and heavy, 100 direount; Chicago, 1-10 discount.
Quotations for foreign exchange are as follows:

IFor the year ending September 30, 1876.)
The annual report of the directors gives the following The
falling off in receipts wliicU has been Roiag on for the last four
years still continues, and has been met in part by a further
reduction in txpeDces, warraniinp; the declaration of two four
per cent dividendg, amounting to |320,000, which sum represents
the net earnings of the year within $1,714 43.

be accounted for in part by
the deprf saed condition of businoss and tbe consequent falling
off of local travel, but it is in part due to the demand for lower
rates of freight, and especially to the growing competition which
meets us on every side.
It may be doubted that a narrow-gauge road will be built
between Boston and Providence during the next few years, as
being too costly an experiment but your directors would refer
to the fact that ground has already been broken for a road of
regular gauge between Franklin and Valley Falla, known as the
Rhode Island & Maefachusetts Railroad, making a direct competing line to Providence, four miles longer than yoar route.
According to agreement, the Fall River Warren ll Providence
road has been transferred to the Old Colony corporation, they
paying cost and interest for the same. Of the $317,645 representing tbe original cost, $215,000 has been applied to tbeextingniehment of your debt, all that could be controlled, and $77,767 29
of this repayment is represented by Union Freight Railroad

at the last annual meeting, and has subsequently been conSrined

Tbe J uly coupons were not paid, and if the interest lemaioB

call a meeting of the bondholders shortly and submit to them a
plan for funding some of their coupons. It is hoped that the
business ot the road will increase, and that the building of tbe
Poughkeepsie Bridge will bring to it much new traffic.

Bangor & Piscataquis.— The Boston Adtertiser gives an
account of a meeliug held by the stockholders of the Baogor &
Piscataquis Railroad in Baogur, 2Ut instant, to liear a rt-port
from a committee appointed at a meeting of the directors, and to
take action ref;arding the running of the road. The report of
the committee details the operations of the road since the contract with the European & North American Road, on the Ist of
December, 1869. It appears that tbe gross amount received by
the Bangor & Piscataquis Railroad, after paying tbe Kuropean &
North American Company their proportion, and also tbe allow,
ancn to stage and steamboat companies, was for 1870, $59,837
for 1871, $78,130 and for 1872, $89,267— being a «ain of over 49
per cent in the gross earnings in turee years. During these years
there were paid to the £. & N. A. Company, not included in the
above sums, for freight and passengers, $15,771, $30,744,
and $16,721. Daring the continuance of the lease no separate
account of the earnings and expenses of tbe Piscataquis Road
was kept, except for the months of May, June, July, August, and
September. Uence it cannot be ascertained whether the road
earned enough to pay the interest on its indebtedness. It is
claimed by the European that it did not. Since tbe Ist of May a
separate account has been kept, showing the gross earnings for
four months to September, $29,311, and expenses, $16,338
leaving a net of $13,102.
Three plans for the management of the road have been
suggested
First: To lease it for an agreed per Ci'nt of tbe net earnings.
Second: To place it under the supervision o'f the officers of the
E. & N. A. Road, keeping distinct and separate accounts of its
earnings and expenses, and paying a fair part of tbe salaries of
the supervising officers, and such incidental expenses as are
common to both roads; and third, to manage the road as it was
managed before the lease.
The report was accepted, and the taking of the road by the
city as the heavlert stockholder and most ioterested party in its
success was advocated. It is thought the city could run it as a
separate institution, and tliat the City Treasurer could also act as
Treasurer of tbe road, and in th's and other ways not definitely
stated make a saving that would make the net earnings larger.
Finally, the following was adopted:
Toted, That Mo?es Glddinj:?, Arad Thompson, M. 8. Dinmmond and J. 3.
Eicker be a committee to confer with tlio European & North American Railway to see on what terms said corp'>ratioa will supervise or run the B. & P.

:
Railroad ; also to see what additionnl expense will bn Incurred by running the
road :ie a separate corporation, and that the same committee matte a schedule
of all the properly of tho company, and submit the same at an adjourned
meeting of the stockholders.
At an adjourned meeting of the stockholders the following was
passed
WJierem, The lease of the Bangor & Piscataquis Railroad to tbe Consolidated European & North American Hallway Companv, dated the 1st day of
April, A. D. 1876, has been broken and terminated by the dcfiiuU of said ConNorth .\merican Railway Company; therefore,

Coart, decisions were recently given in the ctfea o( the tonn of
South Ottawa agt. Perkins, and Board of SuperTisors of Kendall
county agt. Post error to the Circuit Court for Illinois. In these
cases, the Court affirm the validity of certain municipal bonds
issued in aid of certain railroad companies, and also affirm the
ruling below, by which the corporations which had issued their
bonds under a certain act were denied the right to offer evidence
to show that the law had never in f&ct been passed. The Chief
Justice delivered the opinion, holding tliat such a corporation,
having issued its bonds and put them on the market as commercial paper upon the faith of a certain law, cannot be permitted to
as a(;ainst a bona fide holder of the bonds, that the law was
never enacted and adds that, as the courts of Illiuois have never
•decided th« question directly, this court is left free to answer it.

Mobile & Girard bonds, on condition that one-half of the stocit of
tlie company sltould be conveyed to It.
Tliis was done, and the
board of directors lias since been composed of the nominees of
the Central. Under this arrangement, the stocliholders claim that
the management has been entirely in the interest of the Central,
to the detriment of the other road. They claim that basineps has
been diverted to the Western Railroad, and charge also that the
Central has secured a large jadgment against the road and seeks
to have It sold in satisfaction thereof, and tbat there is danger of
its causing tbe first mortgage to be foreclosed.
They ask the
Court to order an account and settlement, and to enjoin the Central Company from proceeding under the jadgment nntil such
account and setileaent shall have been bad alsoforareBcis8i3n of
the contract for the transfer of stock, and an injunction to restrain

Mobile & Ohio Railroad.— A circular has been issued by
Metsrs. Moran Brothers and others in opposition to the scheme
of re-organization of October 1, 1876. of tbe Mobile & Ohio Railroad, which we noticed in our issue of November 4th.
The general grounds of objection are: 1. That the trnstees,
Messrs. Duncan and Elliott, have favored floating debt creditors.
2. Tbat 1736,000 of coupons from first-mortgage (Kinds paid (or
the company prior to May, 1875, are now presented aa a first
mortgage claim; and, 3. That the Tennesse State claim of
$:3,0(>0,000 and upwards should not take precedence of first
mortgage bonds.
To this circular Mr. Duncan has issued a reply, in which, after
categorically denying the statements made concerning bis personal action, he says
" Among the most important questions to be settled
before a decree determining the rights of parties can be had are
" Ist. Tbe claim of the Tennessee bonds to a first lien for principal and interest, amounting to say |2,000,000 upon the 118 miles
within the State ot Tennessee.
" 2d. Tbe claim of the second mortgage trustees that the interest
arrearage bonds do not have priority over the second mortgage
involving say $3,000,000.
" 3d. The claim of the second mortgage bondholders to priority
over all the other mortgages, upon certain parts of the property
of tbe company.
"4tb. The claims of the holders of the unpaid coupons of 1874
to priority of payment, with interest
and numberless other
minor claims and disputed question?.
"Even if a decree of sale could be obtained before these conflicting claims can be determined (which is very improbable), no
Taloation can be placed upon any security of any grade, and
therefore no sum can be fixed at which any particu ar security
can be turned into court on account of the purchase money and,
therefore, the property will have to be sold absolutely for cash,
and thus be at the mercy of speculators, and the meagre proceeds
of the sale will have to remain for a long period undivided.
"Mr. Moran says 'in his judgment the property should be
promptly taken out of the courts and placed under the direct
administration of the bondholders.' This is the object of the
plan of October 1, 1870 and the question is, what are the most
practicable means of accomplishing this desirable end 1 Continued litigation keeps the property in court
compromise takes
it out of couit.
" Mr. Moran, while criticising in words the plan of October
1,
actually appropriates some of its leading features, while giving
them difiierent names. He contemplates the creation ol an
obligatory burden of 19.000,000 and upwards, in tbe shape of
a first mortgage. The plan of October 1, 1878, while making
equally secure provision for the same classes of creditors, makes
the obligatory burden of less amount, and thus affords additional
guaranty against again falling into tbe hands of the court. He
makes substantially the same provisions for floating debts which
is made by the plan which he objects to.
" The plan which is outlined in Mr. Moran'a circular, the practical details of which he asks creditors to leave to his discretion,
does not invite the co-operation of holders of detached coapons,
nor of Tennessee substitution bonds. But any successful plan
must be worked out either through their friendly co-operation, or
against their determined hostility. Mr. Moran's plan, omitting as
it does, their cooperation, necessarily invi.es their hostility.
" The plan of October 1, 1876, disavows their hostility, and
lecurea their co-operation, but involves no more sacrifice on the
part of first mortgage bondholders than Tennessee bondholders,
and first mortgage coupon holders think that they meet with
equal sacrifices.

In the suit of Graham et al». vs. the Virginia Midland Railroad,
in which John S. Barbour, Esq., was appointed receiver, certain
creditors, asked permission in the Circuit Court for Alexandria
City, to tile a petition, among other things asking that the present
•receiver be removed, that the payment of the interest on subse•quent mortgages be suspended for the present, and the net
income be applied to the payment of prior mortgages now overdue, thereby increasing, it is a'leged, the value of subsequent
mortgages. After argument. Judge Keith declined the motion,
and BO John S. Barbour remains receiver of the road.
A decree was made ordering the receiver to pay the past duo
interest of the Orange and Alexandria first and second mortgage
hoods. The decree also grants permission to those who Have

TnE Pkospect. Several correspondents wish to know whether
the present upward movement in cotton is to continue. That
depends almost entirely upon the developments with regard to
the extent of our own crop. The continued large receipts are
making higher estimates of the yield more popular, and if, as
the weeks piss, general opinion appears to settle on still larger
figures, the result would, of course, be unfavorable to prices.
should remember, however, that the experience of the past
year, in both Europe and America, has demonstrated, that at
low rates the consumption of cotton is very largely increased.
Besides, manufacturers, both here and in England, would appear
to be in a strong and improved position.
With us, business is
small suspended, in part, by the election uncertainties and
there is no actual start up of prices. But producers see the folly
of forciug sales upon a dull market they see that the production of this year cannot equal the sales (or measure of want) of
either of the last two years and they are pursuing the policy of
holding the surplus production themselves, to await a demand
which they think is sure soon to come. In Manchester, low count
yarns, and even 32 cup twist, have advanced full 20 per cent since
September 1 say from 8d., or even 7}d. and T^d. to lOd. for 32
twist, with good demand at the advance nearly double the

GunntBaos Baooino, Etc.—Bagging still continues quiet,
aud only small parcels are being taken. Prices are unchanged,
holders still quoting lli@lljc., as to quality. Bales have sold
to the extent of a few bales India at 9ic.
Butts sell steadily,
and prices are firmly held at S^c. cash, and 3 5-lOc. time. The
eaios for the month foot up about 10,000 bales, on spot and to
arrive.
