Bankers' Association in the address to the sub-committee
of Ways and Means, lately presented. They say:
The deposit tax 's a tax on the liabilities of tlie banks. It is a
tax on debts. Every one knows what a bank deposit is. As
regards the depositor, it is a sum of idle cash which he places in
tank. As regards the bauk, it is cash which must be returned
on demand, or according to contract, iuto the hands of the
depositor or hia representatives. As regards commerce and trade,
the bank deposits are the fund out of which are paid tlie advances
which are necessary for the payment of wages, and for every
movement of commodities towards a market. As regards taxation, bank deposits may be defined to be money on its way to
mercantile borrowers. If it is just and right to tax these depo.sits
thus placed in bank, in, transitu to the farmers and merchants
\Tho want to borrow them, it would be equally just and right to
tax the goods in warehouse which these deposits represent. It is
perfectly clear that the warehouse receipts of wheat, cotton or
tobacco, might as well bo burdened with a specific warehouse
tax as the bills of exchange which move the deposits represent^ing these commodities as they pass on towards a market. Ihit

this tax, we have been told, costs the people twenty dollars.
However this may be, it is easy to see how mischievous to industry must be any tax which cripples bank facilities. Without
a bank dejjosit wages cmuot be paid to our mechanics; tobacco,
cotton or provisions cannot be moved to and from the market;
our ommerco cnunot stir a step, and every successive transaction
gives rise to and is carried on by means of bank lacilities and
bank deposits. By the potent magic of a bank deposit, the rich
harvests and the mauufacures which swell the tide ofourrnnual
wealth, start from the place «here they are produced toward the
consumers for whom they are destined. Without a bank deposit
no employment can be given t the great army of producers who
are creating and augmenting our trade and commerce in every
State of the Union. The commodities, on the production and sa'e
of which our forty millions of people depend for their prosperity
and subsistence, require, at each stage, the aid of bink deposits
and of banking facilities, or they cannot hi made available for
the ayment of wages and the increase of trade.

something like an armed occupation; and the
world has been startled with the information that Russia,
in spite of the armistice, has been pressing forward,
and that she is literally knocking at the gates of the
Turkish capital. It is not wonderful that, in the circumstances, the British Government should be indignant,
and that the British people, in spite of their love of
peace, in view of what they consider an open and wilful insult, should be clamant for war.
In the midst of all this excitement Germany remains
calm.
The Imperial Parliament was opened on Wednesday last; and, from the Emperor's address, it would
be difficult to learn that a great empire, not far removed
from her own borders, was literally crushed to the dust.
A speedy peace is expected; and Germany's relations
with the affairs of the East are of such a nature that she
can afford to co-operate disinterestedly in any arrangement which may be made for the establishment of an
enduring peace and for the amelioration of the Christian
population hitherto under Turki-h rule. The German
people are assured that the Emperor's policy is peace,
that he has been successful in preventing the war from
assuming larger proportions, and that he has, at present,
no cause of quarrel with any of his neighbors. It is a
lished
characteristic feature of the general situation that Bis-

The money market Ins again relapsed
19, 1878.
into a condition of
bat althougU the rates of discount in " Lombard
below those current at tbe Bank of
England, tbe official minimum remains at 3 per cent. The discount bouses have lowered their rate of interest for call loans to
tbe extent of i pef cant, or to 1} per cent but the quotation for
deposits, withdrawable at seven or fourteen days' notice, remains
at 2 per cent.
The supply of bills in the discount market is very
restricted, an4 an increase in it seems to be as far distant as ever.
Financial enterprise is still at a stand still, and it is therefore
impossible for an impetus to be given to an upward movement

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the London &
Westminster Bank was held on Wednesday, and the chairman
stated that one favorable feature of the past half-year had been
the almost perfect immunity from loss by bad debts. The amount
written off the profits on accounts in respect to that item was
under £100, which was a thing unparalleled in the history of the
bank. He thought that it was a very encouraging feature that
the trading community had borne so well the strain of an excessive and long-continued depression.
There has not been much change in the position of the wheat
trade daring the past week. Political affairs have naturally
exerted some influence, and as hopes are entertained of an early
peace, millers have shown some reluctance to buy largely.
On
the other hand, sellers, owing to the fact that we are in the

The directors of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company have
declared a balance dividend of IJ per cent upon ithe ordinary
atock for the half-year ending December 31, and also a balance
power over the British markets. It would appear at first sight
that prices here were not attractive, but a tolerably stationary
market here, and a receding one in the United States, are
favorable to increased importations at our ports, a declining
market in America being. In a certain sense, equivalent to
a rising one on this side.
The relapse in New York obviously,

of produce in the country, and it is regarded as very probable
the improved, if not certain, prospects of peace between
Russia and Turkey have induced many holders of grain to secure
existing prices. The fact is not lost sight of that the war has
been a most expensive one to Russia, and that the financial conthat
which was in a state of difficulty before

from Moscow state that the failures which are taking place, not
only in that city, but also throughout the Empire, are very
numerous, and that theie seemed to be but little prospect of any

opposition he significantly adds
Lord Beaconsfield does not consider it to our honor to be thus
treated, he has, it almost seems, precipitated a crisis. It has been
pateat for some days past that Russia is impeding the negotiations with a view to secure military advantages, and when we
bear in mind that the distress south of the Balkans is of such
intensity that it has been scarcely equalled before in the world's
history, that Turkey, from a military point of view, is powerless,
and that the Czar was supposed to have entered upon tliis war
with feelings of humanity, it is obvious to every sane mind that
cunning and duplicity are by no means necessary. It may be that
the military element is too much in the ascendant in Russia, and
that the civil power is unable, possibly unwilling, to control it
but matters have now assumed a very serious aspect, and it almost
seems that not only will England be drawn into the struggle, but
that the much-dreaded convulsions in Europe are about to arise.
For a long time past Continental monarchs have been playing
with dangerous toys. The military burdens have been so great,
and the sufferings of the people have become so severe, that the
discontent has assumed forms which compels those in power to
justify their policy. It may be that the result of this crisis will
be— first, general commotion, and a subsequent curtailment of the
military burdens which weigh so heavily upon the people.
The

will be given for a general discus-
and whether papers will, as a basis for such discussion, be
upon the table. The noble Earl has had great experience in
public aflfaira, and he knows that there are few things more difficult than to supply the Houses of Parliament with all the information on diplomatic ailairs which they desire. In this country,
where we are used to publicity in every possible mode and in all
forma and fashions, everybody expects to be well informed on the
conduct of public afiUirs, and to be supplied with any information
he may desire. But that is not the temper of the government of
every country; and I am sorry to say that there is a growing
reluctance on the part of foreign governments to communicate
with the Government of Her Majesty, except on the condition that
their despatches and propositions shall not be placed in that
peculiar form of literature which is known on the Continent
under the name of " Blue Books." And, therefore, when it sometimes happens that information is not given to the House, as the
noble Earl will understand, it arises from no wish on the part of
the Government to deny necessary information. All I can promise
is that such papers as I can place on the table of the House shall

be placed there as soon as possible."
One of the results of personal and military government is,
therefore, that nations are kept in the dark with regard to their

The first eflfect of the news in the city and in mercantile circles
was very unfavorable. Most classes of securities experienced a
considerable'fall, and amongst merchants scarcely any desire to
operate was evinced.
The fall in securities, however, soon
attracted the attention of influential buyers, and yesterday, not
only was the depression which was apparent at the commencement of business recovered, but an improvement, compared with
the previous day, was apparent. Grave, therefore, as the situa-
to precipitate a war with this
country, but the crisis has arrived, orders having been giren for
fleet to move to Qallipoli, and to garrison the fort
with bluejackets and marines, as a preliminary to the whole of
the lines being manned by the Malta garrison. It is clear that if
Russia means to threaten Qallipoli, we are in collision with her,
and that is war. Germany and Austria must then show their
colors, and perhaps all the mysteries of the Triple Alliance will
be presented to the public gaze.
It is remarkable that on this decision of the Government
becoMing known, the terms of peace were very quickly communicated to the Government by the Russian Ambassador, and as
there is reason to believe that the outline of terms forms the
basis of a settlement, the orders to the fleet have been countermanded. The position is still, however, one of great perils but
hopes are entertained that, before many days have elapsed, a
the British
;
more satisfactory state of things will exist. The liberal papers
condemn, of course, the policy of the Government, and regard it
as dangerous and unnecessary. The Daily Newi of to-day, in an
editorial article, says that if the
Government were unaware of the
terms of peace, the blame must be attached to the Ambassador at
Constantinople, and adds that the terms are to be found in the
newspapers. And yet, with regard to the terms, it mentions in
another column that " neither the Russian nor the Turkish Gov-
ernment
is willing to publish an authentic statement
of the terms
of peace which have been agreed upon, and which the Turkish
delegates at Kesanl-k have been ordered to sign, although it is
announced from Constantinople that the details of the conditions
which have hitherto appeared in various journals are premature.

The absence of political news in the early part of the week
paralyzed business, but there was no depression, a hopeful view
having been taken of the future. The proposed vote for additional
supplies for the army and navy, and the resignation of Ministers,
had a very adverse effect but it was only temporary, and
;
a better feeling has since prevailed. The influence of politics

trade. The tone has, however, been firmer, and an advance of

Yirgiuia State Debt.— A press despatch from Bichmond Mys:
bill for the readjustment of the puiilic debt was passed in
the State Senate, Feb. 7, by a vote of 21 to 15. The first section
provides that all owners of coupontax-reo ivable bonds issued
under provisions of the Funding Bill, or of regintered bonds and
fractional certificates, legally fundable, under the provisions of
said act as amended by the act of March 7, 1872, in euch coupontax-receivable bonds, may exchange the same for neW 4 per
cent bonds, dated July 1, 1878, and payable thirty-four years
after date, but redeemable after ten years said bonds to be
either registered or coupon, at the option of the person making
the exchange, but when once issued to be no further excUangeabli", except that coupon bondholders may exchange for regristered bonds the coupons to be payable semi. annually and to be
receivable for tares, dues and demands due to the State, except
capitation tax and the tax levied !or free schools, and fines imposed
for ofTenses against the State; past-due coupons to remain as
under the Funding Bill or invested in non-iDt.-re8t bearing certificates, redeemable at the pleasure 01 the State that when threefourths of the consol debt shall have been exchanged under the
provisions of this act, the Peeler bonds (as of their full principal
amount) and the other unfunded bonds and stocks Cas of twothirds their principal amount) may be exchanged in like manner.
The bill closes with an expression of the belief of the General
Assembly that an adjustment on the plan proposed would
accomplish ihe objects set forth, and invokes the co-operation of
the bondholders, and pledges, so far as it may, the good faith of
the people in meeting the obligation it imposes. This action of
the Senate is a deatli-blow to the forcible readjuaters, who are

the Tax bill, which, if adopted, would leave only a small margin
for the payment of any debt interest.
The difference between
the two Houses will probably be settled by a compromise."

Court, to-day. The case originated in the Common Pleas No. 4
It was carried from there to the Unted States Court
of this city.
by the Western Union Company, who claimed that, being a foreign corporation, they had the right to make an appeal to that
court,
tieneral Coliis, at whose instance the quo warranto wag
issued, contends that the Common Pleas had proper jurisdiction,
and he made application to Judge Cadwallader to liave the matter
sent back. Argument upon this point was to have been made today, but, owing to the alSsence of Attorney General Lear, and by
private arrangement of counsel, the case was not called up, and
will not be for several days."
The statement of the Royal Insurance Company of Liverpool

of £133,000 during the week, and the discount rate was left
unchanged at 3 per cent, which was accepted here as an evi lence
that the directors were not seriously affected by the war rumors.

United States Bonds. The market for governments has
shown much the same features as last week. The principal demand comes from small investors in various parts of the country,
and indicates that there is a lack of confidence among them in
savings banks or in stocks and bonds other than governments.
The German bankers have been free sellers of bonds, and a good
part of their sales are believed to be " shorts," against which
they have purchased no bonds abroad. As to the amount of

extravagant estimates have recently been made as to the amount
of bonds supposed to be held abroad. It is difficult to very
c'osely cilculate the extent of those holdings.
Until within a
few years estimates could be formed based upon the coupon payments at the Treasury Department, but the Syndicate operators
deranged this basis, as the bankers bought maturing coupons
abroad and turned them into the Treasury in settlement of their
amounts. The total outstanding issue of coupon bonds is given
in the last debt statement as $821,086,950.
It is estimated by
bankers who are in a position to b well informed on the sub
ject, that not more than $350,000,000 of the whole issue is now
held abroad. The following table shows the amount of the
coupon issues outstanding and the estimated amount of each

Central of New Jersey.--The Tribune reports that at a joint
meeting of the four committees interested in the reorganization
of the New Jeisey Central Railroad and the Lehigh & VVilkesbarre Coal Company, held January 15, a sub-committee of eight
persons was appointed to consider the various schemes that had
been propoatd for the reorganization of the two companies.
Numerous meetings of the subcomihittee have been hold, and
its members have finally agreed to a plan of reorganiaation that
does not differ materially from that adopted January 8, by the
committee of stockholders of the New Jersey Central, a fall
synopsis of which appeared in the Tribune. A meeting of tho
several committees will probably be called for the f arly part of
next week, when it is expected that the plan as it now stands will
be adopted.
The sub-committee consists of J. S. Kennedy, J.
Edgar Johnson, George S. Coe, George G. Haven, Jacob Vanatta
and George Mauley, all of New York, and E, M. Lewis and

There would seem to be but little doubt that the net earnings
of the road, under the moat unfavorable condiiions, must be
very much in excess of the amount called for to meet these
charges. A resolution was adopted empowering the same committee to carry out their recommendfttions, and to confer with the
re-organized board tn reference to the changes indicated in the
contract with the Columbus road. Mr. Young having declined
to serve longer, the committee was authorized to fill vacancies.
Danbnry & Norwalk.— At s special meeting of the stockholders, held in Norwalk, Conn., January 28, a propoeltion from

The road, which wag
finished in 1873, extends from Green Bay, Wis., across that State
to Winoua, Minn., 218 miles, and there is also a branch to La
Crosse, 29 miles, of which 22 miles are leased from the Chicago
& Northwestern. The bonded debt by the last report consisted
ol $3,300,000 first mortgage bonds, on which no interest has been
paid for several years, and $780,000 second mortgage bonds
issued to fund unpaid coupons. The net earnings of the road
have been very small.
Long Island Railroad.— The Attorney-General, in the name of
the people, has begun a suit to dissolve the Long Island Railroad
Company and wind up its affairs. Thomas R. Sharp, both individually and as the present receiver of the company, is made a
party, and part of the immediate relief asked is the removal of
Mr. Sharp and the substitution of a receiver in this suit in control of the road.
On motion of Wingate & Cullen, representing
the Attorney-General, leave was given, on Friday last, to bring
this suit, and an order was made that defendants show cause on
Saturday, February 9, before Judge Dyckman, at White Plains,
why a receiver be not appointed in place of Mr. Sharp. The
Tribune says " The complaint in the suit sets out at great length
the history of the company, and declares that its capital stock is
$3,300,000 and- its bonded debt about $1,500,000, with a funded
debt of $1,750,000 on its branches, its total interest on these
elaima being $243,784 56. It recites the lease of the Flushing
North Shore & Central Railroad Company to the Long Island
Railroad Company for sums beginning in 1876 at $239,330 a year
and increasing each year, until in 18S2 the amount will be
$351,050 a year; also, the lease of the Southern Railroad of Long

leaving a deficiency of $255,703 31. It charges that the leases
were beyond the powers of tbe company, and that they were
disadvantageous to the company, the rentals of each of the leased
lines very
largely exceeding the net income. The complaint
charges that the floating debt of the company is over a million,
that several of its notes have gone to protest and that the interest
on its bonds to a considerable extent is unpaid. It charges that
Thomas R. Sharp was brought here at the request of James H.
Wright, a judgment creditor, who is made a defendant in this

that he should be appointed receiver of the company, and that he

time in 1876 or 1875.
Out of the surplus earnings, the company

political character have, since Monday, been quite disappointing,
and yesterday grave apprehensions were entertained in business
circles of a general war in Europe.
R-.'ceipts at the ports have
been rather below the estimates, but, in view of the gravity of
the political situation, and the unsatisfactory state of trade in
manufactures, the que tion of supply, present or prospective, has
bad little effect. A comparatively favorable opening of the
planting season for the next crop has bt-en noted, but scarcely
felt as affecting values.
Today, the calmer foreign advices, and
the advance in consols, together with the reduced receipts at the
pMts, caused an advance of 5@7 points, part of which, however,
was lost at the close.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 338,800

freeon board. For Immediate delivery the total

and 51c. lor Western feeding.
Oais were depressed and prices steadily declined, until No. 3

at the same figure for arrival, and choice white state sold at

times as large as last February, and foreign advices were dull,
while speculation was weakened by the apprehension that in the
event of an early restoration of peace in Eastern Europe excessive
supplies would come upon the English markets from the ]31ack

To-day, a further advance was asked, which checked business.
Indian Corn has been only moderately ac live, and yet prices of
new Western have latterly improved. No. 3 mixed, which sold
early in the week at 45c., closed last evening at 48c., and steamer
mixed, which declined to 54c., had recovered at the close yesterday to 55ie.; No. 2, on the contrary, has been cheaper, at 59@

there was an important revival of demand, several thousand
barrels of common extras from spring wheat being taken by
shippers at $5 05@5 20. Extreme low grades were dearer, and
