CONVERSION OF STOCKS.
Several years ago tlie Court of Appeals of New York State in
the case of Markham vs. Jaudcn (41 N. Y. 235) laid down tlie
very unreasonable rule that a plaintiff in an action against hi8
broker for wrongly selling out liis stock (that is for conversion)
wa*, if entitled to recover, entitled to the difference between the
MEASURE OF DAMAGES FOR
sold by the defendants and the
highest market value which it reached at any time after such
sale down to the day of trial. This rule of damages has since
been recognized and adopted in several adjudications, but of late
the Court has intimated a willingness to re examine the subject
and now, in the case of Baker vs. Drake, et al., has reversed the
decision in Matkham vs. Jaudon, and made a more equitable rule
for which the stock was

In this
the
plaintiff did not hold the stocks as an invest,
have the chance o
realizing a profit by their sale. He had not paid for them. The
defendants had supplied all the capital embarked in the specula¬
tion, except the comparatively trifling sum which remained in
their hands as margin. Assuming then that the sale was in vio.
lation of the rights of the plaintiff, what was the extent of the
injury inflicted upon him? He was deprived of the chance of a
subsequent rise in price. But this was accompanied with the
corresponding chance of a decline, or, in case of a rise, of his not
availing himself of it at the proper moment. A continuance of
the speculation also required him to supply further margin, and

in detail by a final
account rendered by the defendants to the plaintiff after the stock
had been sold.
This account was, upon the trial, admitted to be
correct, the plaintiff reserving the right only to dispute certain
charges of interest, which, however, if successfully contested,
would not vary the result to an extent sufficient to affect the
reasoning based upon it. From this account it appears that the
plaintiff had, during the whole course of his transactions with
the defendants, advanced in the aggregate but $4,240 toward the
purchase of the shares, which at the time of the alleged wrongful
sale, November 14, 1868, had cost the defendants upward of
$66,300, over and above all the sums advanced by the plaintiff
By the stock lists in evidence, it appears that these shares were
then of the market value of less than $67,000, and the surplus
arising from the sale, after paying the amount due the defend*
ants, amounted to only $558, which sum represents the value at
that time of the plaintiff’s interest In the property sold.

The transactions under this contract appear
in permitting him to lie
by, and charge his broker with the result in case of a rise at some
remote subsequent period ?
If the-stocks had been paid for and
owned by the plaintiff, different considerations would arise, but it
must be borne in mind that we are treating of a speculation
carried on with the capital of the broker and not of the customer.
In a word, then, the law as it now stands is this—if the broker
violates his contract, or disposes of the stock without authority,
the customer is entitled to recover such damages as would natu.

the position of which he has been deprived. He certainly has no

TIIE FIRST NATIONAL
BANK OF PHILADELPHIA.
During the turmoil of the panic several journals, our own
among them, published in a list of closed banks on the fatal 19th
of September last the name of the First National Bank of Phila¬
delphia. The error perhaps arose out of the fact that this bank
happened, however, that within a few days after the sale,
price of the stock rose, and that at the time of the
commencement of this action, November 24, 1868, the shares
would have brought some $5,500 more than the sum fcr which was originally founded by Mr. Jay Cooke, and was largely owned
they had been sold. But after the commencement of the action, by him and by his friends. These parties have long ago ceased

The Bank return 'published this week exhibits some satisfactory
changes, and it shows that the directors are still repurchasing the
stock they had sold in the time of pressure.
The amount of
stock which they disposed uf was £2,000,000, of which amount
they have reacquired £1,500,000. The Treasury balance has been
augmented by about £1,000,000; and though that account is about
£2,500,000 less than at this period last year, it is nevertheless
ample, as the Government taxes are due a month hence. The
improvement in the position of the Bank from the extreme point
of depression has now been very considerable, the reserve of
notes and coin having been augmented by £3,587,839, and the
Supply of bullion by £2,328,469. The proportion of reserve to
liabilities has also increased from 31 1-5 per cent to 45 1-3 per

and this week we notice, for the first time in several months, a
regular clique movement in gold. This may be healthy so far as
it indicates a return to the natural course of business and a

of the panic will not be entirely lost, and that they may have a
legitimate effect in preventing immoderate speculation or reck¬
less banking.

general nature of financial operations is
and more tlie character which marked

For commercial paper there has been a good demand at 9@i2

gold early this week, which carried the price up to 112f ou
Tuesday, and kept it sufficiently firm to sell above 112 on both
the following days.
This speculative movement, which was con¬
ducted by a clique of gold operators, was assisted by various

which justly stimulates a rise in gold, according to the opinions
of many business men, aside from the influence of all speculative
operations. There is a singular contrast between the present
tendency of affairs and the frequent talk about the nearness of

New Orleans, Mobile & Texas.—Proceedings Laving for their
object the sale ol the line west of the Mississippi have been
commenced in the United States Circuit Court at New Orleans by
Frank M. Ames, Trustee under the first mortgage as plaintiff, the
New Orleans, Mobile & Texas, and New Orleans & Texas Railroad
Companies and W. P. Kellogg being defendants.
The complaint states that in March, 1870, a first mortgage for
$12,500 per mile of road, from the Mississippi river westward to
the Sabine River, and for $25,000 per mile thence to Houston,
was executed, with Oaks Ames and Edwin D. Morgan ns trustees.
On the 1st of January, 1872, a supplemental first mortgage, for
$2,825,000, or $12,500 per mile, from New Orleans to Texas; for
$1,625,000, or $25,000 per mile, from Brashear to Vermillionvillb,
and for $2,800,000, or $25,000 per mile, from the Sabine to Hous¬
ton, with the same trustees, was made to take ihe place of the
first mortgage of 1870.
The bonds under the 1870 mortgage were
to be recalled and canceled, and the same were to be replaced by
the $7,250,000 of bonds issued under the mortgage of 1872.
Mr.
F. M. Ames is successor to the original trustees, and lias taken
possession of the road west of the Mississippi. The whole of the
$7,250,(LO of bonds have been sold, and two coupons on them,
due January 1 and
J^ly 1, 1873, are unpaid. Also $4,125,000 of
bonds issued or endorsed by the State, have been disposed of, or
$11,375,000 in all, on account of the building of this railroad to
Houston, Texas, so far. It is also stated that the property taken
by the trustee is insufficient to satisfy the debt.
In June last the property of the New Orleans, Mobile & Texas
Company was sold under the second mortgage on the line from
Mobile to New Orleans, and a new company, of the same name,
was organized by the bondholders and received a conveyance of
& New Orleans
the property.
Another company, called the Texas
Railroad Company, was organized, which holds some five thousand
of the old company’s bonds.
The trustee does not claim any right to a further guarantee of
bonds by the State of Louisiana, bnt he does claim a right to a
further issue of $750,000 of subsidy bonds, when he completes
this railroad to Vermillionville, which.it is declared, requires but
little more than “ to purchase the iron and lay it upon the tracks.”
He adds that “ the labor of doing this could be done before the
termination of this suit,” and asks for the sanction of the court to
his doing it, though he has such right without this authority.
In the answer filed, the defendants, except Gov. Kellogg, admit
all the claims made or stated, and the Governor’^ admission is
also wanted. If granted, it is considered that this would release
all the rights of the State against the old company ; confirm the
validity of all the bonds issued, and deprive the State of all claims
against the road.
The New Orleans Times of the 3d says:
The writ of sequestration issued Tuesday from the Superior
Court against the New Orleans, Mobile & Texas Railroad has
brought matters to a crisis, and it must now be determined
whether the construction of a railroad to Texas is to continue a
subject for amiable gossip, or the project to be forever dropped.
For several days past the matter has been discussed by promi¬
nent railway men from the North, who visited the city ostensibly
for the purpose of making final arrangements lor completing the

State, they were anxious to have the sums already granted by the
Legislature guaranteed, that the injunctions against the payment
of interest on railway bonds should be withdrawn, and that the
State, having contributed the major portion of the expense,
should continue to pursue the same liberal programme. Naturally
the State, through the Executive, objected. Thev declined to
enter into the arrangement, and a writ of sequestration and the
seizure of the property is the result.”

gold and exchange early in the week
speculative feeling prevalent in all trade circles, the
market for spot cotton opened this week buoyant, and an im¬
provement in the quotations of £c. was established.' Notwith¬
standing, however, the advance asked, the higher rates for gold
and exchange enabled shippers to purchase more freely, and in
this they were further assisted by the slightly better feeling at
Liverpool. But weakness began to be developed on Tuesday
under a partial reaction in exchange and a check to the advance in
gold, which left the market without support against tlie depress¬
ing influence of the unusually large receipts at the ports. Since
then the downward tendency has continued, prices declining ^c.
Wednesday, Thursday, and again to-day, tlie market closing to¬
night dull and weak, at 16£c.,against 16$c. on Tuesday. Forfuture
delivery there lias been an active demand tlie most of the week,
but prices have taken a course similar to the course of prices as
indicated above for spot cotton.
The first two days there was a
decided advance, and later on even more decided decline. On
Tuesday morning 16±c. was paid for January and 16|c. for
February, but weakness was already developed in the later
months, which became general before tlie close of the day. Since
then the movement has been downwards, and to-day the feeling
was dull, with a farther slight decline in prices.
After ’Change
there was a sale of 200 May at 17 3-10c., and 100 June at 17fc.
The total sales of this description for tlie week are 119,800
bales, including 300 free on board. For immediate delivery the
total sales foot up this week 12,645 bales, including 7,715 for
export, 4,596 for consumption, 334 for speculation, and
in
transit.
Of the above 2,360 bales were to arrive.

active and buoyant market for breadwith the rapid advance in gold and
exchange, but with a check to that, and more liberal supplies,
part from the canal, there has latterly been some reaction.
In flour the sales of the week have been large for export, and in
part for future delivery. The sales of shipping extras have been
about 25,000 bbls. at $6 75@$6 90 on the spot, and
10 for
January delivery. But in the medium and better grades the
demand has fallen off, partly in consequence of the recent
advance. But the trade demand, just before the holidays, is
usually small. The receipts at the Western markets show some
falling off, and notwithstanding the recent check to the advance
the trade is believed to be in sound position. To-day the market
was weak, with lines of fair shipping extras offered at
$G 75.
The wheat market was buoyant early in the week, but has been
drooping in the past few days. There were sales early in the
week for immediate delivery, and early arrival by rail, at $1 62
@1 63 for No. 2 Milwaukee, and $1 58(a)l 60 for No. 2 Chicago.
From these figures prices fell off, until yesterday there was con¬
siderable activity at $1 58@1 59 for No. 2 Milwaukee, and $1 55
@1 56 for No. 2 Chicago, part of the latter for delivery in the
first half of January, with No. 1 Chicago for the same delivery
at $1 58.
The receipts at the Western markets continue liberal,
a considerable portion of the wheat detained on the
canal has
been gotten through to tide-water, and the eastward movement
by rail is larger than usual, so that no apprehensions of a deficient
supply are felt. To-day the market was depressed, with sales of
No. 2 Chicago at $1 54, No. 2 Milwaukee $1 56(5)1 57, and No. 1
