The truth is that there is nothing in the coal busi- and there has been no demand for gold for exportation. The
ness which can except it from the operation of the Bank return is favorable, especially in the matter of bullion, the
laws of demand and supply.
The companies staked total supply having been augmented' by £306,450, increasing it
to £33,618,903, being nearly £6,000,000 less than at this period
their all upon coal and upon the permanence of high
last year.
During the autumn and winter of 1876, however, the
prices attained by combination, and they must abide the
supply of gold held by the Bank was considerably above the
consequences, however disastrous those may be.
In
fact, a new combination now is nothing more than an
attempt to avoid coming down to hard-pan, to escape
paying the penalty of past financial errors, to bring
back the old order of things.
Every anti-resumptionist
who thinks the country not yet ready for specie payments, every soft-money man who imagines that the
broken bubble of inflation can be blown again and can
bring back the sort of prosperity we had during the
war, and every man who would willingly fall in with
the new order of things, if he could only first unload his
bad investments and could slip out of his share of the
suffering, is resisting the only change which can be of
help to anybody. As well try to put Northern Pacific
Railroad bonds at par in market, or bring back yesterday, as try to reach prosperity again by restoring
inflated prices.
Coal must take its chances in a free
market with other things, no matter what may be the

result to individuals or corporations.
The
state of the
normal amount, and an extension of the comparison to previous
supply is adequate. In 1875, the
total store was £23,030,433
and in 1874, £20,316,262. The total
reserve is now £11,604,603, which compares with £16,787,290
last year, £10,795,363 in 1875 and £9,629,937 in 1874.

Although business has been far from active on the Stock
Exchange, the tone has been firm, especially for securities of
acknowledged soundness. These have continued to improve in
value.
United States Government securities were firmer in the
early part of the week, and rose in price on the receipt of the
President's remarks respecting the payment of the interest of
the debt in gold, but a relapse has since taken place. For railroad bonds, there has been a moderate inquiry, and the tendency
has been, in most instances, favorable.
Messrs. Dent, Palmer & Co. are offering for subscription
£150,000 first mortgage 5 per cent debentures of the Halmstad
^oukoping Railway Company of Sweden. The price of issue is
*90 per £100 debenture. The loan is to be redeemed at par by
thirty seven annual drawings, commencing in 1883.
On the 1st of January next, and thenceforward, the mails for
the United States will be despatched wholly from Liverpool and
Queenstown, under an arrangement concluded with the Cunard
Inman and White Star Companies. Mails will be made "up at the
General Post Office on the evenings of every Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday, and forwarded to Queenstown, for embarkation on
board the packets appointed to sail on the following days. All
&c, will be despatched in such malls, unless they are
specially directed by the writers to be sent " by private ship" or
by any particular vessel named.

above journal makes the following interesting observations " In our second table the years in the
first column are harvest years
that is, each year consists of the
twelve months following the harvest, commencing on September
1 and ending on the following August 31.
It will be seen that
while the average home supply has been 11,530,000 quarters, the
imports, with exports deducted, have averaged nearly as much,
namely, 10,183,000 quarters. But while the home supply during
the last three years has been two or two and a half million quarters a year under the average, the foreign supply in the same
years has amounted to one and a half, two millions, and in one
year nearly four millions, above the average. For the harvest
year 1875-6 the home was to the foreign supply about as 9 to
14, and for 1876 7 it was about as 9i to 12-.
The average annual
consumption (according to our estimates of the home crop) has
been 21,940,000 quarters. Allowing for the increase of population, there may be in the present year 33,000,000 persons in the
United Kingdom, requiring a total wheat supply of 22,509,000
quarters, which is about 5 J bushels per head per annum. A vast
supply in the year 1874-5 left a great surplus the next year*
1S75 6, also brought more than the requisite quantity of wheat,
and the last year, 1876-7, brought a full supply so that we may
have had close on a couple of million quarters over with which
to begin the current harvest year, 1877-8. To maintain this
position a full supply, with a safe balance over at the end of the
year we must import duiing the twelve months ending August
31, 1878, about 13,465,080 quarters, or nearly up to the immense
arm-uls of 1875-6. But a couple of million quarters less would
meet our necessities leaving us altogether bare of stocks at next
harvest. An average price of 46s. 3d. proved a sufficient Inducement to foreigners to contribute an enormous supply two years
ago. Yet 55s. 3d. last year drew to our shores a million and
Will such a figure be necessary
three-quarters less in quantity.
in order to procure the twelve to thirteen and a half million
quarters of imports which we require to make op before next
harvest'.'
All depends, of course, upon what foreign countries
and the colonies have to send us."

8,678,400; the greatest breadth wag 3,983,000 acres in 1869, and

state and Railroad Bonds—There is much depression in
Southern State bonds, owing to the unfavorable disposition of
the Tennessee Legislature, and a statement published purporting
to give an extract from the forthcoming report of the South
Carolina Investigating Committee, in which a large number of
bonds are classed as " bad" and "doubtful." There is thought
to be some error in this report, and we do not, therefore, quote
it.
South Carolina consols are quoted wide at 60@67, Tennessees
are down to 39, and the latest news from Nashville, in private
dispatches, says that the Senate, by a small majority, has voted
against 6 per cent bonds on the 50 per cent compromise, and by a
large majority voted against making coupons receivable for
taxes. The debt question is likely to go over till after the holiday

In our local money market there has been some irregularity in
the rates for call loans, and, at times, ft pretty sharp demand,
which pushed up rates with a short turn. During most of the week
exceptional loans on stock collaterals have been quoted as high us
1-82 per day, or 7 per cent and 1-32 per day added, but to day, on
a very email demand for money, rates were easier at 6@7 per
Eer cent on stocks and 5@6 on governments. Commercial paper
as been little influenced by call loans, and strictly prime paper is
in demand at 5@6 per cent.
The stringency in call loans, just
referred to, carries no great significance, but is considered as one
of the ordinary phases ot the market which is usually seen
in
the last part of December.
The Bank of England statement, on Thursday, showed a gain
of £102,090 for the week, and the discount rate remains at 4
per cent. The Bank of France lost 5,900,000 francs.
The last statement of the New York City ClearingHouse banks
issued December 15, showed a decrease of $90,025 in the excess
above their 25 per cent legal reserve, the whole of such excess
being $8,165,600, against $8,245,625 the previous week.

week and a comparison with the two preceding years

United states Bonds.
Government securities have shown
but a dull business, and it is plain that the large demand from
corporations which has so often been experienced at this time of
year is now almost entirely wanting. The principal demand
now is of the investment character for bonds in small lots. The
foreign bankers have sold some bonds to be brought from
London, mostly funded 5s and 41 per cents, and these sales of bonds,
bought at lower prices in London, are mainly attributed to the war
rumors there, rather than to the effects of our silver discussions.

" During the fiscal year, the portion of the line above Waterbury has been Te-laid with steel rails, thus making 'the entire

At a meeting of our stockholders, held on the 30th of July lsst.
a most satisfactory plan was adopted by which we propose to
consolidate our entire funded debt by the issue of new bonds
having twenty-five years to run.
Our first mortgage bonds
matured April 1st, 1876, and hence it was necessary that some
fair and equitable plan should be adoped to retire them.
To that
end the plan above stated was adopted, and is so clearly beneficial
to the holders of our obligations and the company that it bias
been accepted readily by all parties, and will no doubt be consummated in the next few months. This will reduce our funded
debt to $2,100,000, and place it In a much more satisfactory shape
than at present, and will also furnish us with the means to connect our line with the other roads terminating in the city, and
also with the river.

With reference to the preferred stock, it is proper to
repeat to you that, when issued, it was resolved to secure it by a
corresponding amount of second mortgage bonds, to be lodged in
the hands of trustees henc , it is not a distinct liability, bat
rather a substitute for, or representative of, an equal amount of
second mortgage bonds. As both bear the same rate of interest,
the conversion of one into the other has been consented to, at the
op'ion of their respective holders some parties desiring the
preferred stock, because of its being registered, and transferable
only on the company's books while others prefer the bonds, for
the greater convenience which they afford in the collection of
interest, facilities of transfer, &c.
The amount of either may
thus be varied, but the aggregate of both will always be represented by the sum of $322,000."
The bonds of the Ashley River Railroad have been endorsed to
the amount of $40,0U0 by authority of the Northeastern Railroad stockholders.

The Tribune
says: "The Continental Telegraph Company,
which was recently organized to build new telegraph lines between the principal cities of the Union, beginning with a line
from Boston to Washington, has already secured the right of
way through New Jersey. Some of the poles are now on the
ground, and it is the intention of the company to construct the
section between this city and Philadelphia at once. Among those
who are associated with the company, and who are taking an
active part in its development, is James' G. Smith, formerly general manager of the Franklin Telegraph Company, and whose
experience in the telegraph business dates from 1850.
" After it became known to the managers of the Western Union
Telegraph Company that the directors of the Atlantic & Pacific
Company had ordered the distribution of the Franklin Telegraph
stock (6,300 shares), held by the Atlantic & Pacific, they appointed a committee to procure the rescinding of the order. The
Atlantic & Pacific directors rescinded it yesterday.
"Since the adoption in September of the pooling scheme by
the Western Union and Atlantic & Pacific Companies, the latter
has closed 429 offices indifferent parts of the country. This action
has been followed by so great a reduction in the business, that
the amount for November which the Western Union paid
the Atlantic & Pacific, in order to make up the 12$ per cent due
the latter company by the pooling arrangement, was, in round
numbers, $40,000. As other offices are discontinued, the monthly
instalment to be paid the Atlantic & Pacific Company will be
somewhat larger."
The same journal says that the Spanish Government has a
claim of $200,000 against the I. O. T. Company.

For future delivery there was a steady decline down to the
close of Wednesday's business, interrupted only by a brief reaction on Tuesday, caused by a demand to cover contracts. The
receipts at the ports were for the first five days of the week,
large, without precedent, we believe, and w.ere also quite large
at some of the more important interior towns.
The reports that
Great Britain was assuming a belligerent attitude towards Russia
contributed to the depression.
The improvement yesterday was.
due to the more peaceful foreign advices, but was quickly lost
under the warlike accounts that were received later in the day.
The large receipts at Memphis, and an estimate from New Orleans that receipts there will be 75,000 bales next week, contributed to the depression. To-day, the market was dull and weak,
but without important decline.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 304,400
bales, including
free on board. For immediate delivery the total
sales foot up this week 6,198 bales, including 450 for export,
4,477 for consumption, 269 for speculation, and 1,000 in transit.
Of the above, 178 bales were to arrive.

to our cable
despatch received
tin-re. have been 3,000 bales shipped from Bombay to Qreat
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 \V. Nicol & Co., of Bombay, and are brought

From the foregoing it would appear that, compared with last
year, there has been an increase of 5,000 bales in the week's shipments from Bombay to Europe, and that the total movement
since January 1 shows a decrease in shipments of 163,000 bales,
compared witn the corresponding period of 1876.

Bags, Bagoinq, &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 rul ng.
We quote lOic. for light weight and lie. 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 2J®2Jc. To arrive, we, hear
of several thousand bales, mostly for November to January shipments, 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.
Tbe Exports op Cotton from New York, this week, show a
decrease, as compared with last week, the total reaching 6,658
bales, against 9,213 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

Flour,
Dec
21, 1877.
During the past week business has been light with the package houses, and the jobbing trade was of strictly moderate
proportions, as is usually the case on the eve of the holidays.
There was no material change in values of either cotton or
woolen goods, but prices of the former were somewhat uneven,
and while brown and colored cottons had an upward tendency,
some large transactions in bleached shirtings were stimulated by
concessions from nominal holding rates. The demand for spring
woolens was less spirited than expected, and foreign goods ruled
very quiet. The suspension of a large Cincinnati jobbing house
was announced, with liabilities exceeding $400,000, and this
caused an uneasy feeling in the trade, but, as a rule, collections
are satisfactory.
Domkstic Cotton Goods.— The exports of domestics for the
week ending December IS were 1,143 packages, since which
time a shipment of 2,087 packages was made to China. The exports of the week were distributed as follows British Honduras,
