Thirdly, we see from the above figures that the bill
we are discussing embodies the great general principles
which have been frequently advocated in this journal, and
which have, to some extent, for years past, been applied
to our fiscal system, except for a brief portion of the
paper-money era, when they were temporarily lost sight
of amid the troubles incident to our war finance. These
principles are, first, to regulate the incidence of all our
taxes in such a way as to cause them to fall chiefly upon
distribution and consumption; and, secondly, to leave the
processes of production, especially

The growth

of national wealth, as economic science has
abundantly demonstrated, requires for its best developthat taxes should fall upon the processes of consumption and of distribution, because experience shows,
that the industrial organism will bear such taxes with
less harm, while taxes which directly attack production
are always peculiarly full of peril, and need to be watchfully guarded.
It has been contended that this principle
is best complied with when a nation adjusts its revenue
system so as to derive its chief resources from customs
duties, and when the taxation is mostly leried upon the
products of other countries, leaving its own industries and
its productive powers, as far as possible, tax free.

Trunk Line Uullroad
Frelgrhts. The meeting of presideats
or reprfseDtativts of the trunk railroads was hfld in New Yorli
wetk. A long lime was consumed in the effort to bring
about an uoderstandiug and ngreomeiit between tlie Grand Trunk
Kaihvayof (Janadi aa 1 ilia lJ).-*toa & Albany lliilroad, and to
reeetabligh some of the relations entered into in October last
between the Western railroads. The proposition submitted bv
Mr. llicksou, of tbe Grand Trunk, for the settlement ol the dispute between ilie Grand Trunk and the Boston & Albany Ruilroad, was taken up, and Mr. Bliss, general manager of the Boaton & Albany road, opposed a settlement on the basis of the business transacted in 1877, but expressed his willingness to leave
the matter entirely in the hands of Mr. Fink as arbitrator. This
was eventually adopted, and a dispatch was sent to Mr. Ilickson,
of the Grand Trunk, January 30, proposing, with his assent, to
sabmit all matters of difTerenco to Mr. Fink as an arbitrator,
without any reservation as to any basis heretofore insisted upon

accept the proposals, and sympathize with your desire that tbe result
be a permanent settlement of tbe questions in dispute.
J. Hiokson.
As to west-bound freights, the Times report of the meeting
"There was some cousideration of the expediency of reducing freight rates on weat-bound traffic, and it was decided
that a reduction would be m-ide in the course of two or three
weeks. The west-bound buainess having been disposed of, the
«B8t-bonad business was taken up, with a view to harmonizing
the cotrflict between the Western roads. Commissioner Guilford
presented his statement of the condition of things in the West,
where he reported that he had been unable to enforce the pro
visions of the compact. After an amicable discussion, it was
decided to adopt a plan somewhat different from the old one.
The general Kcope of the plan is to place greater power in the
bands of the trunk lines, whi-^h are herealter to act aa one,
through Commissioner Fink, who will receive from Commissioner
Guilford all complaints against offending roads, and direct how
chastisement i-hall be meted out. The Grand Trunk is to be
considered as one of the parties in interest, and is to be consulted
says:
whenever
jiint action or any action affecting their interests
be taken. The General Manager of that corporation has
expressed himself favorable to the adoption of equitable arranguments, and it is believed that it will join in the plan adopted
last night.
If it should refuse to abide by the decision of the
trunk lines and persist in making independent rates, the trunk
lines will meet the rates made by the Canadian road. No definite
time was fixed for the new plan to go into effect."

Talley, of Yirginia. At the recent annual meeting it was
resolved to issue $3,000,000 in bonds, provided the resolution
should be approved by the Finance Commissioners of the city of
Baltimore, which holds |1, 000.000 of the stock.
The Finance
Commissioners have decided not to approve the issue, believing
that circumstances at present are not favorable.
Wilmington & Northern.— The
Circuit Court of thfl United
States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has recently rendered a decision in the case of Peter Kemble vs. the Wilmington
& Northern Railroad. The first mortgage bondholders of tlie
Wiliningion & Heading Railroad foreclosed their mortgage and
appointed a committee to buy the road and reorganize a new
company under the act of Assembly of 1801. The new company
was
after
reorganization to issue to the old bondholders new
bonds secured by mortgage on the new company's pronertv.
Alter the reorganization as tbe Wilmington &
Northern Railroai
Confpany and the issuance of stock as required by law, Peter
Kemble, a stockholder, filed a bill for an injunction to restrain
the company from creating the mortgage and issuing the bond.^.
on tUe ground that there was no consideration given for the bon(!s.
The Court— Judges McKennan and Cadwallader— decreed the
Injuiiction. on the ground that the act
of 1801 only authorized the
purchasers to receive stock for their interests in the
new corporation, and that no mortgage bonds
could be issued under that act
except "for a new and adequate consideration,
which would go
to increase the available funds of the
company." The form of
reorganization in the case of the Wilmington
& Northern Railroad has been the one generally in use in Pennsylvania
for fifteen
years, and quite a number of existing
railroad companies have
organiz-d under
it.
The Oil Creek & Allegheny River Railway Lompany was sold out and reorganized as the Pittsburg
lituBvUle & Buffalo Railroad Company, and
it is sUted that the
present Pittsburg Tilusvllle &
Buffalo sevens were issued under
?° «"anffement as the court has decreed against in

—Mr. Frederick Taylor has been elected cashier, and Mr.
Frederick Butterfield a director of the Coniineniul National
Bank. Mr. ButterGeld is well known as a highly successful
merchant, and Mr. Frederick Taylor has been for many yesm
the partner in the firm of Frederick Hutterfieh! & Co., who
especially attended to its financial business.
Each of these
gentiemen will add greatly to the business and infiuence of the
Continental Bank, whose staff now exhibits a strong list of active
officers.
—Messrs. Lehman Brothers, 133 Pearl street. New York, the
prnminent cottin commission house, are the financial agents of
the city of Montgomery, Ala., and are paying interest on the new
bonds of that city falling due in January, 1878, both those issued
in exchange for railroad bonds and those in exchange for markethouse bonds. They are also agents for the exchange of markethouse bonds.

The statement o' the Liverpool & London & Globe Insurance
Company to Jan. 1, 1878, which will be found in another column,
is eloquent in a few figure.'.
The fire assets of the company are
$7,963.44.5 and Its total liabilities $2,841,420.
The United States
branch reports assets of $3,959,901; liabilities of $2,191,769;
surplus, $1,768,131.
The total income in 1877 was $2,713,059;
total expenditure, $1,603,916
surplus income, $1,109,143.

The old New York Mutual (.Marine) Insurance Company
issues its annual statement for 1878, showing total receipts from
premiums in 1877, $293,435 ; losses and expenses and retui;ped
premiums, $186,196. The company pays 6 per cent Interest on its
outstanding scrip. The New York Mutual, under the presidency
Mr. John H. Lyell, and vice-presidency of Mr. Bleecker, is

—The statement of
the Home Fire Insurance Company should
have been noticed in the ChkONICLB of January 26. The exhibit
the
of

gratifying to Its stockholders, showing aa it does the large net
surplus of $1,016,703 over and above its capital of $3,000,000, and
a reserve fund lor re-insurance of $1,836,432.
The management
of the Home recovering directly from the great Chicago and
Boston fires, and getting so soon to its present strong position
is entitled to be considered most able and vigorous.

Messrs. Fisk & Hatch, as will be seen by their card on
another page, propose to offer their services to all parties desiring
to take new 4 per cent United States bonds. We see every reason
to suppose that parties will find it much more convenient, and in
the end more profitable to buy through this reliable firm than to
attempt to deal directly with the Treasury.

Bland silver bill over the President's veto. In the meantime,
corporations are afraid to buy government securities

matures. The important event of the week was the passage of
the Stanley Silver resolution in the House of Representatives,
and the consequent sales of, and sharp decline in, government
bonds here, and the
gold to 102i.
Our local money market continues to work quite easily, and
on government collaterals the rate for call loans is 4 per cent,
and on stock collaterals 5@G per cent. Prime commercial paper

United States Bonds—The principal feature of the week was
the sharp decline in bonds on the heavy siles which were made
after the silver resolution passed the House.
These sales were
made in large part by the bankers having foreign connections, and
were supposed to be against purchases made at the same time
abroad. It is possible, however, that a good part of the sales
were purely gpe ulative or "short" sales, an 1 that no bonds were
Bimultaueously purchased a?sinst them in the foreign markets.
A recent is^ue of the Daily Bulletin thua referred to the matter: "The London market f r bonis was unchanged; there la a
profit of |@| per cent in importing them and the amount imported is apparently only restricted by the borrowing faci ities
of this market.
Tin operation is this: the bonds are bought iil
London by cable and sold here the same day; they do not°arrive
for ten days to two weeks; in the meantime, the sellers here
hwe to borrow them to deliver, and continuj borrowers from
day to day until the London shipment arrives here; the trouble
now is that bonds enough cannot be borrowed in this market to
anywhere near thi amount that the bonds can be obtained in
London for sale hero." Prices declined sharply, but have since
made a partial recovery. There is still a good demand from old
savings bank^depositors, who have resolve 1 to trust governme.it

The annual
report lately issued is an interesting document,
as it gives an account of the important financial changes recently
made.
After remarking upon the previous condition of the
company's finances and tlie impossibility of increasing the earnings
sufficiently to provide for annual charges, the President, Mr. li. T.
Wilson, says
" To meet the exigency thus presented, a financial operation
under which the debt due the" State of Tennessee could be
bought, and the lien held by the State to secure it assigned to
individuals upon terms profitable to your company, appeared to
be the only resource left it.
" As you are aware, the board called a meeting of the stockholders, which convened on the 3lBt of May last, in the city of
4117C00
%i,xm^lM
" Under the plan for the refnodinfr of the company's Indebtedness, a new series of consolidated 7 per cent gald bonds, dated
August 30th, 1877, and maturing January Ist, 101';, has been prepared, and a new deed of trust executed to the Farmers' Loan
and
Trust Company, of the City of New York, to secure the payment
of the same. The agirregate amount of issue provided for
ia
$4,700,000, of wbich $1,400,000 have been used, as previously
stated, in connection with the assigned Tennessee debt,
and
$2,436,000 set apart to provide for the redemption of the 1st and
2d mortgage bonds now outstanding, under proper limitations
for securing their faithful application.
This leaves $804,000
with which to redfera the remnant of outstanding old consolidated and iticome bonds and paBt-due coupons on the same, which
will suffice for that purpose and leave a surplus of
$307,000
unappropriated.
" Respecting the nature and terms of the lease previously
referred to, it may be proper to state that it would probably be
more appropriately named if styled 'a treaty of friendly alliance'
between the two companies, and from a brief synopsis of which
it will be found: 1st. The East
Tennessee Virginia and Georgia
Railroad Company is to operate your road at the cost and risk of
the latter, but without charge or profit to tbe former for doing
so, and account for and pay to tbe Memphis & Charleston Railroad Company all net proceeds, first applying so much thereof as
may be necessary to tbe payment of interest on your bonded
indebtedness, and in case of insiifflciency of net proceeds for that
Memphis, at which two measures .'or financial relief were submit- purpose, tbe East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia Railroad Comted.
The first looked to aid through the stockholders, which pany may advance the deficiency and charge interest on it at the
rate of six per cent per annum, and if it fails to advance it and
failed, and the alternative, a lease of your road to the East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia Railroad Company upon terms stated permits a default in interest for one month, it works a forfeiture
in a draft of the proposed leaao, which was read to and approved of the lease, provided all balances due East Tennessee Virginia
by that convention, and in conformity with a resolution passed & Georgia Railroad Company have been settled; and, 2d, the
by it, has been made and entered into between the two com- East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia Railroad Company must pay
panies, and, as was anticipated, the credit of your company was any balance of net income on the Ist day of October In each year.
thereby so improved as to induce Messrs. A. Iselin & Co., of New Provision is made for a preferential interchange of through busiYork, to buy from the State of Tennessee the debt and lien which ness upon terms alike equitable and beneficial to both parties,
and either party may cancel the lease by giving six months' notice
it held against your company, which has Ijeen acsigned to the
Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, under the provisions of a tri- in writing to the other, and upon the further condition that if
partite agreement between Messrs. A. Iselin & Co., the Farmers' the Memphis & Charleston road is the party giving the required
Laan & Trust Company and the Memphis & Charleston Railroad notice, for a cancellation of the lease, in order to carry the canCompany, bearing date August 21, 1877, to be held in force by cellation into effect it must first pay and discharge any advances

together with profits heretofore realized by the payment of interest to the State of Tennessee in Tennessee coupons in connection
with it, and together with profits resulting from the purchase
and payment by the company of $142,000 of Tennessee bonds
which it had borrowed, resulted in a profit to the Memphis &
Charleston Railroad Company of $1,033,931 in principal and in
an annual reduction of the interest charge of $51,277.
" In addition to the reduction in our indebtedness, just stated,
the proceeds of $320,000 six per cent bonds of tbe Nashville
Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway, which were received in payment for the sale of the McMinnville & Manchester and Wincliester
& Alabama Railroads will further reduce it, so that your aggregate indebtedness of all classes, over available assets, will stand
at $4,264,833 as of the first of July last, instead of
$5.471, 2.j0, as
it appears from an analysis of the general
balance sheet of the
30lh June last, and the annual interest charge is reduced from
$307,224 to $298,542 per annum, without considering tbe
premium on gold in either case, which makes but a very small
difference.

and total earnings from mails, express and miscellaneous were

rates less than those of the previous year, has yielded an increase

reduction in tobacco freights alone being eleven miUioua of
pounds, and in gross earnings $36,013. Other local traffic has
been thus incidentally affected, and local travel reduced to an
amount lower than known at any tima since the construction of
lie road.
As to financial transactions the president remarks
"In comparison with the condition at the close of the previous
year, it may be stated that of the matured bonds of the company there have been presented and paid $13,700. Bills payable
is.-ued
show an increase at the close of the year of $22,401.
Accounts payable and pay rolls, a reduction of $20,265. Balances
to connecting lines, &c., a reduction of $39,508.
balance of the
bonds of the Roanoke Valley Railroad Company, guaranteed by
this company, to the amount of $9,500, have been purchased at a
cost of $4,190, and the guaranty of this company cancelled. This
discharges fully all liallility of ihis company on.accouut of tlieae
bonds. Of the annuity to the State for this year, there is a balance unpaid of $21,222. The balance due on Tredegar bridge
account has been reduced by payments $12,043. Of the general
mortt age gold bonds, there have been issued during the year
$178,000 sold at 80 net. The issue and sale of these bonds
were by the board deemed necessary and proper in payment for
the large extraordinary outlay made during the year in the
Improvement of the roadway and property, chiefly new rails.
"Much of the roadway has been substantially and permauenily
improved to such extent as will doubtless effect a mate ial
economy in some of the heavy items of current annual expense.
During the year 2,210 tons of new steel rails and 2,043 tons of
new iron rails have been put on the Richmond & Danville and
Piedmond Railroad, with an improved fastening, and a considerable amount of stone and other ballast put in the road bed at
such points as most required it."

in the City of New York shall be "assessed at the sum lor
which such property would udder ordinary circumstances sell."
There is no appraised value, as in other parts of the State, at
which a creditor would take real estate to satisfy a debt due from
a solvent debtor. The circumstances from 18C3 to 1873 were very
different from what they have been since 1873, cot only in the
City of New York, but in all parts of the State. Why have two
rules of valuation, one for the City of New York and another for
the other counties of the State ?

snow storm has interrupted railway communication throughout
the North and West, and serious marine disasters have occurred. Our streets also are blockaded with the snow, making
the movement of merchandise difficult. The agitation of the bills
wbich are now pending before Congress, to make silver coin a
legal tender and to reduce the import duties on foreign merchandise, are also disturbing elements which are felt more or less in
trade and manufacturing circles. Then, too, the late failures

except for middling. For future delivery, there have been
sharp lluctuations on the variable and often contradictory
reports which have been reeived by cable regarding th« political
and military situations in Turkey.
Last Saturday was very
excited, a considerable advance being established at the close,
and Wednesday almost as much depressed. The comparatively
large receipts at the ports have depressed the later months
more than the earlier deliveries. 'This was esijecialiy the
case on Wednesday.
The improvement yesterday, in the face of
a decline in Liverpool, was due to a combined effort by the speculators for a rise, aided to some extent by purchases to cover
contracts.
Todny there was a further advance, the later reports
from Liverpool being more favorable.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 368,400
bales, including
freeon board. For Immediate delivery the total
sales foot up this week 3,503 bales, including 69 for export,
3,434 for consumption,
for speculation, and
in transit.
Of the above,
bales were to arrive. The following tables

On
day 1,200 cases of Lowell, Lancaster and Monadnock wide sheetings were presented for public competition, and the entire offering
was disposed of at rather low average prices.
Domestic Cotton Goods. The exports of cotton goods from
this port for the week ending January 39 reached 2,376 fackages,
which were shipped as follows Aden, 1,673 packages Great
Britain, 237; Venezuela, 108; Brazil, 108; Dutch West Indies,
69; Hayti,59, and the remainder, in relatively small lots, to other
markets. Brown sheetings and drills were in moderate request
and steady, but bleached shirtings ruled quiet, and outside makes
were somewhat irregular in price.
Denims and dyed ducks
continued iu fair riquest, and leading makes are firmly held
because of the light supply. Tickings, cheviots, and cottonades
were severally in limited demand. Piques and quilts were in
comparatively good request, and some makes met with liberal
sales.
Print cloths were less active than when last reported
upon, but prices were fairly maintained on the basis of 3 9-16c.
cash, offered, and 3|c., less one per cent cash, asked for eytra 04it
64s, and 3ic., cash, for 56x60s.
Prints continued inactive, but
ginghams were iu fair request.
Domestic Woolen Goods. There was a comparatively slow
movement in men's- wear woolens from agents' hands, and business was light with the cloth jobbers. Cassimeres were delivered
to the clothing trade on account of previous orders to a moderate aggregate, but new transactions were few and unimportant.
Cloths and doeskins were lightly dealt in, but ruled
steady in price. Worsted coatings were in fair request for small
selections, but cotton-warp worsteds were dull and unsettled by
the auction sale referred to above. Cheviot suitings and coatings
met with fair sales. Kentucky jeans exhibited rather more animation, and medium weights were disposed of to an increased
aggregate; but satinets were relatively quiet. Flannels were
lightly dealt in, and blankets were almost neglected
but ingrain
and tapestry Brussels carpets were in fair request. \\ orsted
dress goods were a trifle more active, but shawls and skirts
remained quiet.
Foreign Dry Goods. Business continued quiet with importers
in nearly all descriptions of foreign goods, but values were steadily
maintained on the most staple fabrics. Large quantities of Hamburg embroideries were presented in the auction rooms, and low
and medium grades were distributed to good advantage; but fine
qualities dragged, aud in some cases sold low. Linen goods were
also offered at auction and housekeeping makes realized fair
prices; but handkerchiefs ware appjirently in llt'.le demind.
We annex prices ol a few articles of domestic dry goods
