manifestly unfair that the Bmk rate should be kept at a point

but the bullion movements and the exchanges are regulated by
the actual, and not by an ideal, value of money, and always will

and an increase of £898,667 in the supply of gold
shows that coin Is coming back from the provinces, and that a
better feeling exists.
There seems to bo very little doubt of this
fact, and although trade and general enterprise are in by no
means a satisfactory state, yet better hopes are entertained with
respect to the future, and a more remunerative trade is looked
forward to. The favorable political news from Paris has had a
gcod effect, except that it leads to the conclusion that if the
R< public can be thoroughly eslablisbed on the principles on
which it relies, and above all upon peace and'a diminished army
expenditure, the people of Oermaty will become uneasy and
agitated, if their government resists similar retrenchments. It is
to be hoped that if France sets so excellent an example, Germany
and other nations will not be slow to foUoiv, and that the labor
and capital of Europe will be directed to more productive uses.
It is well known that the people of the Continent have suffered
heavily for some years on acconnt of the heavy burdens imposed
upon them, and each year makes the deficiency greater. Nations

aaccessful, there will be no excuse for delaying the work of
improvement. Turkish officials, however, are dIffieuU creatures

United State* Boud«._The activity in government bonds
has been well kept up, and the demand for the sixes of 1881, 5
per cents of 1881, and 4i per cents, has been a notable feature of
the transactions. There is a constant flow of called bonds from
London to this market, and this movement is believed to be
pretty well balanced by the shipments of 4 per cent bonds from
this side.
The Treasury Department has issued this week the
89th call for five-twenties, embracing $20,000,000 bonds. All the
numbers of called bonds now outstanding and the dates when
tliey respectively fall due, are

The division of tonnage and severe restriction was especially
Formerly, a large proportion of
injurious to our canal interests.
the coal tonnage came from the Lehigh Valley Railroad, but,
since the extension of the line of that company to New York
waters, the quantity has steadily diminished.
The small revenue of the past two years does not afi'ord a fair
criterion by which to estimate the future value of the canals.
They suffered in 1877 by the refusal of the receiver of the
Central Railroad to operate them, and when we assumed control
it was too late in the season to arrange for business, and through
navigation was closed on the 4th of October by the injury to the
Delaware Division Canal. In 1878 the canals, as already stated,
secured a fair share of the limited allotment. If business is
unrestricted in 1879 there will no doubt be a large increase of
tonnage, with belter financial results.
The following is the memorandum of agreement between the
Delaware Division Canal Company and the Lehigh Coal &
Navigation Company, modifying the terms of lease.
It is mutually covenanted and agreed that the terms of the lease of the
Delaware Division Canal Company to the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company,
bearing date the 20th day of August, 1866, shall be modified in the follovring
particulars
So much of the rent payable under tbe said lease as is applicable to pay
dividends of ihe Delaware Division Canal Company is to be reduced to sums
sufficient to pay four per cent per aunnm of dividends on the par of the

W.
Clark, president, the following
The loss in coal tonnage compared with the
is condensed:
previous year was 612,438 tons. The income for the year was
only 1^5,413 less than in 1877. Railroad rent was less, and
canal and coal earnings larger, than in that year. Of the |355,.
880 deficiency of revenue, $148,171 was loss on the lease of the
Delaware Division Canal.
The floating debt increased about $300,000 durin? the year.
The year opened with a largely-overstocked coal market and
Tcry low prices. An agreement was entered into in January by
eoal producers and transporters to restrict production to the wants
of the market. Owing to the unusually mild winter, the curtailment daring the first four months of the year was unexpectedly
evere, and our net revenue was accordingly very light, amounting to only $103,969. But after the first of May we earned all of
our fixed charges, including rent of the Delaware Division Canal.
Thr) toUl production for the year, 17,605,262 ton?, was about
two-tbirda of the total caiaciiy of all the mines for eight months'
fall work and four months' half lime, say ten full months.
had five breakers working and three idle, and our allotment gave
«8 about two thirds; work for the five breakers. If the consumption
hould increase to 28,000,000 tons per annum, the five breakers
eoald still furnish our quota as allotted in 1878, and a continuation of that proportionate allotment would require us to abandon
pensanently three operations.
The coals sent by our line from the other Lehigh regions ar«
Teiy popular and command ready sale at but little lower prices
thaa our own product, and the Wilkesbarre coal ranks with the
beat from the Wyoming region. While it Is, doubtless, the true
policy of the anthracite coal interest to limit the supply
to the
wants of the market, the above enumerated facts indicate that
we made too great concessions last year to the other interests.
Msented, however, in the fall to an extension of the
•limngement for another year, with the object of maintaining
harmony in the trade, and believing that all interests, including
our own, would realize greater advantages during 1879 than in
1878, as th« severe restriction relieve 1 the market entirely of the

St. Paul & Paciflc— The St. Paul Pioneer-Press of Feb. 16
Bays: " Messrs. J. J. Hill, R. B. Galusha and George L. Backer
returned to St Paul yesterday from New York, and they confirm the news which has been in private circulation in St. Paul
for several days, that the conference in that city between the
representatives of the stockholders of the St. Paul & Pacific Road,,
and the parties who have lately secured control of the bonded
interest on all the lines has resulted in an amicable settlement
of all the differences between the two interests.
are informed that the bondholders have purchaiied all the
stock, bonds, and other interests of the Litchfield par'.y, and that
the bondholders are thus plsced in actual possession of the line.
It is understood that all that now remains to be done to brush
away every cloud of their title to the ownership of five or six
hundred miUs of railroad is a withdrawal of the suits from the
courts by consent of the adverse parties, or a formal foreclosure
of the mortgage, or such other legal steps as may be deemed necessary to carry out the agreement made in New York within
the last few days."
leased to the Boston
Krie road at 10 per cent, and the latter was bound to
pay this sum, without any opportunity to termintte the agreement. TLe Norwich & Worcester road had the piivilege of
terminating it, but was not obliged to do so, if the other party
failed to make payments or otherwise keep its covenant. When
the New York & New England load succeeded to the rights of
the BoRton Hanford & Erie road, the courts decided tljat it wes
not obliged to asf ume this lease, unless it was disposed to do so.
Its managers objected unless a modification of the lease was
granted, and an agreement was made by which the New York &
New England road might terminate the lease by giving notice at
any date of its agreed semi-annual payment, by paying the next
accruing payment or dividend, which is practically a six months'

Tennessee Debt. Gn February 19 the House refused, by tk
vote of 53 to 12, to adopt a resolution providing for the settlemei^t
of the Slate debt at fifty cents, with four per cent interest.
The
N. Y. Herald despatch says many were opposed to the resolution
on the ground that it did not represent a proposition from the
State creditors, others because it required the subject to be submitted to the people, while others still did not fnvor adjustment.
The large majority, however, voted against the

Union Paciflc. The great event of the week in Wall street
the sale by Mr. Jay Gould of 100,000 shares of the Union Pacific
stock to a syndicate is reported by the Tribune as follows
" From trustworthy sources it was understood that a Union
Pacifis syndicite had been formed, composed of James R. Kfene,
Russell Sage, Frank Work.D. P. Morgan, Charles G. Osborn,
David Jones, Addison Cammack and William L. Scott. It is stated that the entire number of shares purchased of Mr. Gould by
the syndicate was 100,000, at between 70 and 75 per cent, 70,00'0shares being delivered yesterday, and 30,000 shares previously
purchased by individual members [Mr. Sage or Mr. Keeue]. It is
also stated that Mr. Gould sold 50,000 shares of his stock for
cash, and 50,000 shares on call.
Mr. Gould then invested in the
common and preferred stock of Chicago & Northwest. Another
provision of the contract, it is said, binds Mr. Gould not to
become a seller in the market until the stock reaches 90. It is
also provided, it is underctood, that there shall be a reorganization of the directory of the comptny at the aunual election on
March 6, at Boston. It was also stated that S. H. Clark, of
Omaha, W. A.
Loveland, of D.^nver, and John Sbarp, of Salt
Lake City, would retire, and that James R. Keene, of San Francisco, Addison Cammack and Solon Humphreys, of this city,
would be the new direciors." A friend of Mr. Gould said " This
is a Napoleonic
move,. and may be termed
the master stroke of
r
Mr. Gould's life. The 100,000 shares of Union Pacific stock
which he sold to the Syndicate cost him
hi
about $3,000,000, with a
par value of $10,000,000. He has sold it for $7,000,000, realizing
by the transaction a profit of $4,000,000, and retaining 90,000
shares of Union Pacific stock, worth about $7,000,000 more."

much the eSect of the Increased demand as the strengthened
viaws of holders, In sympathy with the upward oarse of values
for wheat.
The moat urgent demand has been mainly for good
medium extras for shipment to the West Indies and South Amer>
ica.
The high grades have not improved in prices but are mov
ing off more freely. To-day, the market was doll, and prices
somewhat depreesed.
The wheat market has also be«B active, and tbe-advanee Id
prizes is more decided than in Qour. The demand has been
mainly for the better grades of winter growths, white sharing
more liberally in the business done and the advance paid, than In
the previous fortnight. Yesterday, there was a tamer feeling,
there being a partial subsidence of speculative action at the West,
but prices ruled quite firm. The sales of No. 2 red winter were
atfl 13@1 13i on the ppnt, |1 \Z\@\ 13} for March, and |1 14^
@\ 1.5 for April; No. 2 amber at $t \o@\ \o\ on the spot, and
$1 13i(3l 13| for March; and No. 1 white |1 13@1 t3i on the
spot, %\ 13i for March, |1 13i for April, and $1 15(31 15^ for
May. Spring growths were nearly nominal. To-day, the market
was lower for winter, No. 2 red selling at $1 12}31 13 on the
spot and $1 14(gl 14i for April, but spring was more active, the
sales including a large line of No. 3 Chicago at 97c.
Indian corn has been active and prices have latterly improved.
Yesterday No. 2 mixed sold on the spot at 471@47Jc.; new do.»
iiiaiSJc. on the sp^t, 4S}^40ic. for March, 47|s4Sc. for
April, and 48|(g4Sic. for May; tteamer mixed, 44|c. on the spot
and 44}(a45c. for March; new No. 3, 42l(a43c. on the spot. Supplies of other grades of corn are lierht and slightly dearer.
To*
day, there was some depresBion at the opening, old No. 2 selling
at 40}(a47ic., and new at 4Cic., on the spot, but the close was
gteadier, with sales of No. 2 at 47ic. for April.
Kye hos met with a fair demand, and prices have slightly
ad/anced. Recent sales include Stale and Canada at6Ij@62o.,
with boat loads of No. 2 Western held at 6Ic.
Barley has continued to be pressed for sale at drooping prisf s,
and to-day No. 1 bright Canada sold at about f 1.03^.
Oats were in good demand at hardening values, but no marked
advance is e?tabli*h''d. The mr.rket to-day was firm, and No. 2
graded closed at 33ic. for mixed and 33i@33ic. for while.

quest, and wide sheetings were distributed to a liberal aggregate
amount. Colored cottons, also cheviots and cottonades, met with
a steady demand, but corset jeans were somewhat sluggish.
White goods, quilts and towels, were sought for in considerable
quantities, and piques were rather more active.
Stocks of cotton goods are exceptionally light in first hands, and the market
has a firm undertone. Print cloths were dull and weak at a
further decline, viz., 3 316c. for 61xOJs., and 2i@3 1316c. for
56x608. Prints were in light and irregular demand, but there
was a fair movement in gioghams and cotton dress goods.

in the aggregate,
make
but agents continued to
fair deliveries of
light-weight fancy cassimeres, suitings, cheviots, &c., on account
of orders placed at the beginning of the season. Manufacturers
have as a rule discontinued the production of spring woolens and
are now running on heavy fabrics, but the latter will not be
shown to the trade for some time to come. Twee-ls and cashmerelt^ss were slow of sale, and operations in Kentucky jeans ard
satinets were mostly of a hand-to-mouth character, though fair ia
the aggregate. About 6,000 pieces of fancy cassimeres, cheviots,
tweeds, jeans, &c., saved from the late fire in Worth street, were
sold to fair advantage by one of the cash auction houses. Worsted dress goods were in moderate request, and there was rather
more inquiry for worsted and Shetland shawls.
Foreign Dry Goods. Business has been light with importers, whose gales were chiefly restricted to the most stable fabrics
and a few specialties. Fancy silks were in fair request, but
blacks and colors ruled quiet. Dress goods moved slowly, and
White goods, laces, and Hamlinen goods lacked animation.
burg embroideries, were severally in fair demand, and continued
large offerings of the latter were made at auction. Men's wear
woolens ruled quiet, and Italian cloths and velvets dragged
—
heavily.
