Although there has been a settlement in the Stock Exchange,
this week, the demand for money has been exceedingly moderate,
and the open market rates of discount are fully one per cent below those current at the Bank. There has been a moderate accumulation of gold at the Bank, caused, not only by importations,
but also by receipts from the Provinces. It seems pretty clear

A Safeguard Against Masked Burglars. Bank vaults
and safes should be protected by locks that cannot be unlocked
during certain hours even by those acquainted with the combinations and having keys.
By a simple arrangement, Messrs. Herring & Co., the wellknown safe and lock manufacturers, attach a chronometer movement to their bank locks. These are set to unlock at a certain
time, and cannot, under any circumstances, be unlocked before
the expiration of that time. It possesses the peculiarity and advantage over other time locks, that it combine.s the protection of
both a time and combination lock, and should the movement stop
running, or by any means get. out of order, it can yet be opei-ated
and unlocked, but this operation would require the same length
of time as that rsmaining unexpired at time of stoppage. Thus,

The annual
report of Hon. Dewitt C. Ellis, Superintendent of
the Banking Department of the State of New York, has been
presented to the Legislature. One year ago there were eiglityone banks organized under the general law of the State. Since
then eleven have been formed, among them the Commercial Bank
of New York City, and the Fifth Avenue Bank of New York City.
Five banks were closed during the year, and four of them converted into national banks. The New York and Erie bank failed,
and a receiver was appointed to wind up its affairs. The New
York Loan and Indemnity Company voluntarily closed, paying
all its obligations.
The Central Trust Company was organized
with a capital of $1,000,000, and began business on the 1st of
September. The condition of the banks Sept.^18, 1875, was as

been quite an active
movement
in government bonds, but with some peculiar features
in the cliaracter of the demand.
The five-twenties have been
comparatively neglected and show a decline, while the sixes of
1881 and the currency sixes have met with a sharp inquiry and
are higher than last week. This is probably in consequence of
the talk about further funding operations and the introduction of
a bill into Congress (having Mr. Bristow's approval), for tlie
authorization of $500,000,000 of
4i per cent bonds, with 30 years
to run, instead of the $300,000,000 15 year
per cents authorized under the existing law.

State and Railroad Bonds—Among Slate bonds Tennessees
have been weak, and the old bonds sold to day at 4')^, now series
at 44J.
There seems to be no present anticipation that anything
will be paid on these bonds before the meeting of the new
Legislature in 1877, and some compromise with bondholders is
discussed in the State, although it seems extraordinary that
Tennessee can not manage a debt whicli has been so successfully
reduced to about $20,OW),000. Louisiana and South Carolina
consols are in demand, and have advanced on a home demand.
Virginia bonds are weaker, as the payment which was being
made on the July, 1874, interest, has been discontinued; the
consol coupon bonds are returning to some extent from abroad.
Railroad bonds have been moderately active, but during the
past few days the prices of the popular bonds have been lower
in sympathy with stocks.
There is a good deal of S])eculativo
business in the active, low- prici-d bonds, and after a rapid advance
of 4 or 5 per cent, or more, such as had recently taken place,
there is very apt to be a partial reaction
so far as any definite
cause is apparent, this seems to account most satU^aciorily for
the decline referred to. The Pacific Railroad securities have
been steady on a moderate business, as the attention of bondbuyers has recently been diverted from these to the low-priced
bonds of Western roads St. Paul, Northwest, Ohio & Mississippi,
etc.
There has been some activity lately in C. C. & I. C. first
mortgage consols (in default), but we are unable to ascertain that
any proposition lia.s been made by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Canada Southern bonds, with coupons on, sold todayat70 there
seems to be little doubt of some sort of interest obtained by New
York Central or Lake Shore parties, but what its particular shape
may be has not yet transpired.
Daily closing prices of leading State and Railroad Bonds, and
the range since Jan. i, have been as follows:

THE CHBONICLR
130
iFebrjaiy 5, 1876.
—
Railroad and niscellancona StocKs. Stocks were strong
early in the week, and, nnder the lead of Western I'nion Telegraph, which sold up to W^, prices were buoyant. Later there
was a decided reaction, and a downward movement took place, in
which Pacific Mail was most conspicuous, declining und-r heavy
Bales to 34J.
Wtstern Union, iu tliR reaction, sold down to 7oJ
to day.
It is currently reported that the prominent operator who
has been so largely interested in Union Pucitic and Pacific Mail,
has been a heavy feller of the latter, and that thij accounts for
the decline.
Railroad earnings, so far as reported for the month
of January, are quite favorable, as compared with the same
month in 1875. Ohio and Jlinsipsippi, for three weeks, is reported as Hhowing an increase of f 60,300, including the profits
•if
the Springfield division
St. Paul shows an increase of
$61,000 for the month; Missouri Pacific, St. Louis Kansas City
and Northern, and St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southerm all
show a considerable improvement.
The present decline has the appearance of a temporary reac ion rather than a decided change in the tone of the market,
except so far as Pacific Mail is concerned, and as to that the transrcaons are not yet exactly understood.

Fareljsn Excbange. Exchange has been comparatively dull.
There was sooie scarcity of bills early iu the week, and prime 60
days' sterling was marked up to 4 80} this proved to be too high,
as there was not demand enough to support it, and business was
checked. The rat^s were afterwards reduced ^ point, but this
failed to encourage much buying, and the market closed dull
There appears to have been some delay in receipt of cotton bills
from the South, as the supply from that source is reported to be
less than there was reason to anticipate.

the part of the company that no more second mortgage bonds
shall be sold at leas than eighty-five cents on the dollar), the floating debt will be cleared oflT, the stockholders in possession of first

placed in a condition to approoriate its surplus, after necessary
outlays on its track, etc., to dividends on its stock.
" The following are the net earnings the last four years

1873, $273,386 06 1874, $335,923 90 1875.
$350,004 25 total, $989,131 41, being an average, yearly net, of
$217,380 3-J; interest on $3,493,500, at 7 per cent, $174,475 excess, $73,805 35. which is over three per cent on the stock upon
which the company is liable to pay dividends. It is apparent,
therefore, that the project is feasible."
The proposition for a lease of this rotd by the Sjuth Carolina
Railroad was not considered satisfactory and was therefore de:

The report of the President says "The transportation accounts
show that, notwithstanding the continued depression of the
:
general business of the country, there has been a steady increase
in the local business of the road.
The small amount of through
business which has been done is attributable 1st. To the want
of a connection, by rail, from its western terminus with tlie great
centres of trade in the Weet, Southwest and Northwest. 2J. To
the low rates for freight which have prevailed during the greater
part of the year on competing lines. 3d. To the financial
embarrassments of the Company, which are well known, and
which have induced many large shippers of freight to seek other
routes of transportation, who would otherwise have entrusted
this Company with the transportation of their property."
In conclusion he says:
"The property is a very valuable one too valuable to be wasted
by litigation and if a plan of reorganization can be agreed upon
before much more valuable time is lott, and before the value of
the property is impaired by the costs of litigation, which costs, if
incurred, must finally be paid out of the property, then your
President and Board of Directors will s-ive their attention earnestly
to the work of securing such connections and extensions of the
I'ne as are needed, and they will do so in the confident belief
that, although the investments in the securities of the Company
have thus far proved unproductive, they will finally prove to be
ealisfactory in the returns they will yield to the holders of them,
and that all the hopes and expectations which have been indulged
in, in regard to the great enterprise we have so much at heart,
will ultimately be realized."
The report of the operations of the Transportation Department for the year ending September 30th, 1875, was as follows

The report concludes: " Although business of all kinds has
been depressed to a most unusual degree, we have fully maintained our receipts, and by a rigid system of economy we have reduced onr expenses, other than those for iron rails and for taxes
paid, over $55,000 wo have reduced the percentage of operating
expenses to 59'38 a reduction of 4 per cent, and we have largely
decreased our floating debt. A most gratifying feature is that
our local business has increased nineteen per cent, thus showing
that the towns along our lines are continuing to improve,"

Alabama & Chattanooga.— It was
decided by the United
States
Circuit Court
iu
its recent
decree
that the highnumbered bonds, from 4,731 to 5,230, are entitled equally with the
others to share in the proceeds of the sale. It appears that the
company was authorized to issue and the Governor of Alabama to
indorse bonds to the amount of $10,000 per mile.
The road being
295 miles long, the issue should have been confined to 4,730 bonds
of $1,000 eacli
but in fact 500 more were issued and indorsed,
and the rights of these 50O were questioned. The Court held
that the holders of these bonds had a right to presume that the
cffleers of the company, the trustees and the Governor of the
State had not violated their trust.
They were not bound to
ascertaiu the exact length of the road, and if they had done so
they could not be certain that their bonds were outside of the
limits.
These bonds must be held to be of equal validity with
;
the rest.
Eastern Railroad (Mass).— The annual report of the directors
was issutd in Boston this week. It places the present debt of the

and mistaken and bad investments at $8,345,9»0. The present
capital stock of the road is $4,997,1300 ; the total earnings lor 1875
were $3,787,143 25; the total operating expenses were $3,045,-
040 54; rents paid other companies, $175,910, leaving a net income of $5(iO,lH6 71. Interest paid, $9.56,330 47, leaving a deficit
for the year of $390,043 76. The report says if the bill now

mortgage bonds is passed, the road will recover from its embar-

Northern Paclllc.- Gen. Wright, President of the Northern
Pacific Railway, has lately issued a circular stating that the road
is in operation from Lake Superior to the Missouri River, 460
miles.
Tho Pacific division is in operation from the ColumbU
River to Tacoma, the terminus on Puget Sound, a distance ot
105 miles. Tho traffic on both divisions in 1875 shows grossf
receipts on the 555 miles of completed road of $013,5»0.
The net
income was $152,140. Eich mile of the road built haa been
accepted by the Government, and this entitles the company,
under the charter, to 10,800,000 acres of land. This land the company is selling to settlers at prices that thus far average about $3
;ier acre.
It is intended that the work of construction ahall be
resumed the present (eason. The equipment of the road is
reported good, requiring no immediate expenditure in that direction.
Nine tenths of the bonds issued .have been surrendered
under the plan of reorganization, and are being converted into
preferred stock. Tbe small amount outstanding is gradually
coming in. By May mxt it is believed the company will have
555 miles of equipped railroad, free from bonded or floatingdebt,
in operation.
The certificates of preferred stock are now being
issued in exchange for the 7 3-10 bonds at the rate of $1,400 for
every $1,000 of the principal of the bonds, which includes interest thereon (o July 1, 1878.
This preferred stoek is receirable At par for the company's lands east of the Missouri River.
The preferred stock will be" entitled to dividends at the rale of
eight per cent per annum, before the common stock is permitted
to participate in dividends to any extent.

Railroad.s of Wisconsin. The Railroad Commissioners of
Wisconsin have submitted to the State Legislature their annual
report, coverioij the operations of the railroads of the State for
the year 1875, together with an amount of the Commissioners'
proceedings under the law, and tlie results of their further
inquiries into railway transportation and the prooer relation of
transportation companies to the government of the State. They
say
"One of the difficulties of enforcing the law of 1874, in respect
to rates, grew out of the fact that, while the law required that in
case of freight passing over two or more roads 'the distance for
carrying such freight shall be computed from where it is
received
evidently meaning from where it was first received^
there was no provision requiring the companies owning the connecting lines to pro rate the charges. Because of this omission,
several o'. the companies assumed that they severally received
the freight coming from other lines at the connecting point, and
on this basi? computed the distance and made their 'charges. In
this way it sometimes happened that a shipper was charged the
high rate allowed for the first haul two or three times over, the
aggregate sum being considerably larger than the sum of old
rates paid before the passage of the law.
This defect in the law
of 1874 WHS remedied by the law of 1875, which provides that when
freight so passes from one road to another " tlie amount received
for such transportation shall be divided between the companies as
the officers thereof may agree," and that where such agreement is
found impracticabie the terms of such division of receipts
shall be settled by arbitration in the manner in said section prescribed.
)twith8tanding this plain and specific provision of
law, several instances of its violation were brougiit to the notice
of your Coiumisbioners in the early part of the last session, and
it was not until after considerable time was consumed by ilie
necessary investigations, and by explanations of managers, negotiations between companies, correspondence, and personal interviews, on the part of the Commissioners and the Attorney General,
with the attorneys and managers representing the corporations,
that an agreement was finally concluded by and between the

Western
& Atlantic R. R. and West. Union Tel. Co.—
In the suit of the Western Union Telegraph Company against
this company, the United States Supretne Court has reversed the
decision of the Circuit Court and holds that the contract between
the State ot Georgia and the Western Union Company, under
which the railroad company, as lessee from the State, claims the
line, was a contract of lease only and not of sale.
As long as the
road gets the benefit of the contract by the use of the wires, it
must abide by the terms of the contract.

were fully ^c. below the previous Friday, and the later months
showed an irregular decline. In addition to the c'rcumsances
noted above as c.iusing the decline in cotton on the spot, the
receipts at the ports and at the interior towns have operated in
the same direction, having exceeded what were genera'ly c msid
ered liberal estimates. In the course of yesterday's business there
was a recovery of 1-lGc, from the lowest p;)int, based on thu fact
that Liverpool showed a steadier tone, and tliat receipts were comparatively light at all points, except New Orleans, causing some
demand to cover contracts, acd, in a measure, reassuring operators
lor a rise.
To-day, the demanl was active, and futures furilier
advanced 3-33(g^c., the most dt-cidod improvement being in the
later months.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 133,200
bales, including
free on board.
For immediate delivery the
total sales foot up this week .5,419 bales, including 2,0)7 for export, 3,651 for consumption, 191 for speculation, and
in
transit.
Of the above,
