plained, is incapable of being clearly understood unless its
movements are interpreted in the light of three great
controlling facts. Of these, the first is the supply of
capital. Unless there is enough capital for the wants of
business, it is useless to expect a steady equilibrium in
the money market, such as produces moderate tranquillity
and even rates for money. From the earliest to the
latest period the money markets of this country have
always suffered more or less from a deficiency of loana¬
ble capital.
In the United States the field for the
profitable use of money is so broad and inviting as to
absorb all our supplies from domestic and foreign
sources.
Hence, in a brisk and healthy state of trade,
our market, like that of all young countries, is liable

republican institutions would still be living facts
in France at the close of 1877.
M. Thiers, it was
seen, was stronger than Gambetta; and M. Thiers,
were
we
told, was a devoted adherent of the
House of Orleans. The republican mask was only a
temporary convenience, to be flung aside when the
proper time should arrive.
When that great patriot
announced his conversion to republican principles, he
was still distrusted; and when he
began to give those
principles shape and form, he was compelled to retire
and give place to MacMahon.
This, we were taught to
believe, was only another step toward the re-establish¬
ment of monarchy in some one
of its triple forms as
known to the -French people.
MacMahon* it was
known, was a pronounced Conservative, devoted to the
Church, and committed to the House of Bonaparte. Of
course, the empire was coming.
It was only a question
of time. The Marshal-President would, when the
opportunity offered itself, appear in the character of his
English prototype, General Monk; and the latest
French republic would end, like the first, in an
empire
with
a
Bonaparte at its head. The dissolution
of the
Chambers, in May, was the last act
preliminary to the coup d’etat. How all these
fears have been
dissipated, how all these predictions
have been falsified, the situation at the
present hour
abundantly shows. Not in seven years, at least, has
France known so much quiet and contentment. Never
before, during his term of office, whatever his individual
purposes may be, has MacMahon enjoyed so much
repose. France is at peace with herself, and the gov¬
ernment machine
experiences no resistance. Taught
in the school of
experience, the French people have cer¬
tainly learned the great lesson of self-control. They
have given the
very best evidence of this during the
past few months, by patiently awaiting the operation of
duction, while others are to be rewarded for their under¬
production by receiving the forfeit-money.' Theoreti¬
cally, the idea is ingenious; practically, it will have no
effect to make the new compact anything better than the
other, a mere rope of sand. The compact will hold for
a time,
as all such compacts do; but the penalty is
inadequate, and there is no way of enforcing it. A
company may stop contributing to the fund; or it may
fail to make up its deficiencies; or it
may report its pro¬
duction incorrectlyj or may neglect to report at all. As

possible penalty, limited to the fund con¬

CHRONICLE.
THE
Owing to tbe approach of Christmas and of the end of the year*
business in cereal produce is limited to the actual requirements
of buyers. There is no disposition shown to press sales, good
and fine qualities of produce being well held. The deliveries of
English wheat continue to fall off.
According to the official returns, the sales of English wheat in
the 150 principal markets of Bnclaud and Wales amounted,
during the week ended December 1, to 40,029 quarters, against
48,744 quarters last year, and it is estimated that in the whole
Kingdom they were 160,000 quarters, against 195,000 qiiarters.
Since harvest, the deliveries in the 150 principal markets have
amounted to 657,996 quarters, against 743,264 quarters, while it
is computed that in the whole Kingdom they have been 2,632,000
quarters, against 2,973,100 quarters in 1876, showing a deficiency
this season of 341,000 quarters. Without reckoning the supplies
furnished ex-granary, it is estimated that the following quantities
of wheat and flour have been placed upon the British markets
since harvest:

paid, were formerly held by the Charter Oak Life Insurance
Company, but are now the property of Mr. Matthews of New
York.
The parties who desire to control the road have been
negotiating for the purchase of these bonds from Mr. Matthews,

expenditure debited to revenue.
Excluding in former half-years the net transfers to the
funds, the present account exhibits a deficiency of £3,197, as
against a surplus of £2,608 in 1876, and as against a deficiency of
£75,609 in 1875. The aggregate balance to the credit of the
reserve funds is £181,889.
The dividend on the preference stock,
amounting for the half-year tc £12,644, will remain a charge
against future revenue. Reference was made in the last halfyear’s report to the exceptional severity of the weather in the
winter of 1876-7, and to the low tariff of rates and fares which
then prevailed, as having disadvantageously affected the traffic of
that period.
These causes have to a certain extent continued
during the present half-year.

Shipments.—According to our cable despatch received
io-day,there have been 3,000 bales shipped from Bombay to Great
Britain the past week, and 2,000 bales to the Continent; while
the receipts at Bombay during this week have been 13.000 bales.
The movement since the 1st of January is as follows. These are
the figures of W. Nicol & Co., of Bombay, and are brought
down to Thursday, Dec. 20.

From the foregoing it would appear that, compared with last
there has been an increase of 5,000 bales in ttie week’s ship¬
year,
Bombay to Europe, and that the total movement
1 shows a decrease in shipments of 103,000 bales,
oompared witn the corresponding period of 1876.
Gunny Bags, Bagging, &c.—Bagging has been fairly active
for the jobbing trade since the large speculative sales were made,
the demand coming chiefly from the South, and firmer prices
are rulrng.
We quote 10£c. for light weight and 11c. for
standard quality, the market closing firm at these figures. Butts
have been fairly active since our last report, with sales reported
here and in Boston of about 2,500 bales at 2£@2 13 16c., time,
and holders are firm at the close at 2|(32|c.
To arrive, we hear
of several thousand bales, mostly for November to January ship¬
ments, at 2|c., gold.
For forward delivery holders now quote
2fc., gold, merchantable, and 2|c., gold, for bagging qualities.
Calcutta advices still report continued high cost in that market.
The Exports op Cotton from New York, this week, show a
decrease, as compared with last week, the total reaching 6,658
bales, against 9,243 bales last week. Below we give our usual
table showing the exports of cotton from New York, and their
direction, for each of the last four weeks; also the total exports
and direction since Sept. 1, 1877; and in the last column the total
for the same neriod of the previous year:
