was sanguinely believed, in many quarters, that the autumn
of 1878 would show that we were emerging from the period of depression, and that we should enjoy a more satisfactory autumn trade
than had been the case for some yt'ars past. Money was cheap,
the prices of rnw materials were low, and if there had been some
disappointment regarding the harvest in this country and in some
parts of Wostera Europe, yet tUe valu« of wheat was declining,
owing to the abundance in America and Russia, and especially

consumption; hence, the supply of food goes further, and is thus
practically augmented.
But notwithstanding these favorable
conditions trade failed lo revive, till at length it was whispered
that something was radically wrong, and the anxiety culminated
in the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank.
The failure of this bank disclosed a state of things for which
the public were not altogether prepared. And yet, for many years
past, it has been a general complaint that out Indian trade was
very nnprofitable; but it had been hoped that the most daufrerona
sources of trouble had been dried up in 1873.
It now appears,
however, that this was by no means the case, though it is right
to say that one well-known firm was anxious to stop payment as
long ago as 1870. Had this been done, the present crisis would
not have occurred now. It would have been a thing of the past,
and we might possibly be in the enjoyment of a greater degree
of confidence. The directors of the City of Qlasgow Bank were
desirous of convincing themselves that the future would be more
profilable than the past, and they insisted that the firms to whom
they had made advances should continue their business. This
was accordingly done; but months rolled by, and no improvement took place, the result being that matters got from bad to
worse. The collapse showed distinctly that the extent of oar
Indian trade had been maintained, not by any law of supply and
demand, but by shipments of goods made with a view to procure
a'Jdltional means towards meeting drafts arrivin); at maturity.

From the remarks which we have already made, it seemi
scarcely necessary to repeat that commercially the year 1878 bas
been extremely unsatisfactory. All branches of trade have
compla'ned, and profits, where there have been any, were on a
very limited scale. The cotton trade boa Buffered heavily, and
in the wool trade equal deprecsion has prevaile'd.

An important feature in the financial world during th-? year,
has been a heavy fall in the value of fas shares. It has long
been thought that tliosn securities were proof ajfainat all attempts
at diminishing their market value, high though it was; but the
developments of science have worked a vast change, the market
at one period being scarcely free from panic.
The important

method of granting liberal advances upon stocks. One would
think that the scare which the directors of most banking institutions have lately had would have left a lasting impression behind
it; but even now, such is the desire to pay high dividends, and
to compete for business, it is quite possible that Stock Exchange
speculation will be fostered by the aid of the banks. It is to be
hoped, however, that the directors of those institutions will be
judicious in the advances they make, as bad banking is the forerunner and instigator of serious evils.

December 31, 1878, the total revenue was £80,484,039, against
£78,680,554 in 1877, showing an increase of £1,803,485. A large
amount of taxation was due ou the Ist of January, and heavy
payments will now be made into the Treasury but, at the same
time, the next financial statement is awaited with considerable
interest, as the floating debt is large, and will have to be dealt

Business on the Stock Exchange showed at one period, as we
have stated above, indications of returning animation, but a quieter
feeling has since prevailed. The tone, however, has been good,
and it is hoped by the majority that no facilities for wide and
reckless speculation will be afforded by the banks. Investment
businees will probably be more active, as, owing to heavy losses,
the pablic have been very economical in their expenditure, and
the thrifty have money to invest. This fit of economy is very
frequently, with nations as with individuals, protracted.
There
are many advantages to be gained from it, though, as a matter
of course, the producers and retailers of luxuries are much
affected by it. It is to be hoped, however, that if the savings of the

statement

Insurance companies has a large interest in obtiining a fair
award of the money paid to the United States lor the Alabama
claims, and a re-imbursement of the moneys paid by the company for losses during the war. If Congress could once appreciate the fact that the company is mutual and its profits when
made are divided among the merchants who pay the premiums,
there might be hope of getting a fair arijustmpnt. But many
of the discussions in Congress are carried on, virtually ignoring
this essential fact, and apparently assuming that the profits arising f 'oxn high premiums paid during the war were distributed to stockholders in dividends. Toe meriihanis who paid
the high premiums Wi-re in truth the very parties who paid
owners for their lost vessels; the premiums could never be
returned to them in full on account ot ttioae loss^^s and they or
their succefsirs now insuring are entitled, through ttieir mutual
company as agent, to receive back the money which England has
really paid f jr their benefit.

State and Railroad Bonds— The transactions in State bonds
have not been large, but in some classes of t^outhern State issues
there has beGn more done than usual —the Inquiry for North
Carolina bonds Issued to the North Carolina Itallroad having
been noticeable among the dealings in North Carolina bonds.
Louisiana consols close at 64J.
Hall road bonds have still been very strong and active, and
prices gen(>rally hold all their previous advance and still tend
upward. Part of the speculative business, however, lias been
diverted to stocks, which have been much more active than last
week. Since the first of January there has been much Inquiry
for the bonds of defaulting and re-organlzed railroads, under the
belief that some of these bonds offered a chance for large profits.

(For thefiteal year eroding Notember 80, 1878.)
At the annual meeting of the Lehigh Valley ICallroad CompaoT,
io I'hiladelpbia, a brief annual report wa« made, of which
t6«
following is an abi^tract:
The I'resldent, Mr. Asa Packer, remark* " The past year baa
been an exceptional one in the history of this company. Etrlr
in the season the shippers of anthracite coal over our railroad
united with all the other coal carrying coiipaniea and individual
operators in an arrangement intended to regulate tlie production
and appir'.ion the tonnage among tbe several lines. Althoagh
;

not in anyway a party to this association, yet the efiect was tbe
same, as the several coal compaoiei in which we are inlereated
acted with the others. The result is shown, not only in tbe
greatly reduced total tonnage of anthracite coal carried by as,
but also in the disproportionately great decrease of through coal
carried to Perth Amb<iy. Tbe whole amount aa:<igned to us beiof

of income account.
The present is an opportane time to sift and reduce to an
absolute cash valuation the company's assets, and thus $313,403
hare been deducted from the surplus account. The Board has
alio directed that $1,000,000 more be deducted, on the one side,
from tbe surplus account, and, ou the other, from the valuation
of the property.
A spurroad, 37 miles in length, running southwesterly from
Otto, on the Chicago Division, has been built.
In replacing iron
rails in main track with steel, the best of the old rails were
selected and turned over to the new road at their market value.
The track is laid and partly fenced; ballasting will be completed this spring. This spur will cost
bo it $2-50,000, and
will, without doubt, be profitable.
Low lolls upon the Erie Canal and cheap freight by lake have
drawn an immense volume of business to the lines of water
transportation during the months of open navigation. Th»
receipts of grain at Chicago in 1878 were $35,000,000 bushels in
excei-s of th-seof aoy previous year.
The early completion ot
the Welland Canal will further verify the expectations heretofore ext>ressed in several of the reports of your Board.
» * »
The New Orleans line is greatly improved. Its bridges and
•tructures have been thoroughly repaired ten engines and 375
freight cars added to the plant, 16,000 tons of steel rails laid,
and 4,000 tons more purchased. The line has been extenoed
3f
miles to East Cairo, and a new Incline built opposite the Illinois
Central Freight Depot. The traffic of the line was impeded for
(everal months by the yellow fever, which also interrupted construction work.
Before this occurred, 50 miles of road had been
ballasted this, with the new rails, placed the track in good condition for the winter traffic.
The sum of $1,199,000, due the
Slate of Tennessee, was paid, the State lien being preserved for
the benefit of new bonds in tlie pame amount, of which $038,000
bonds were used to refund the money advanced to pay the State.
The new company has applied the balance of Tennessee lien
i

;

;

bonds to sub.ftantial impmvements, at the same lime paying
from its net earnings the coupons on the prior mortgages, including the new first mortgage bonds. It has no floating debt.
When the traflic again reaches the average of the four years
immediately preceding 1878, the net income should provide for
interest payments on the second-mortgage income bonds.
Of
these tbe Illinois Central Cojipany owns $4,983,000, besides
62,793 of the 86,030 shares issued by the Southern company.

chiefly of additional investments in tiie connecting lines.
During

Concerning increased traffic tbe report says : " The grain trade
from the West, over our line, has largely increased during the
past pt-ar, and is only limited by the want of proper facilities in
this city for its reception and distribution."
The report of Mr- Sayre, superintendent and engineer of the

The President remarks, in bis report: " The mortgnge authorized by the stockholders on the 30tb July, 1877, wan for the purpose of retirinif tbe existing obligations of the company then
covered by the first mortgage, being more than a year overdue,
and to provide the means required for an extension to the river
front and for coiistructiog a union depot there. The debt due the
State of Tennessee, being some three hundred thousand dollars
($300,000), has been settled, at an advantage to the company of
over one-half that sum. All the first mortgage bonds have been
exchanged except thirty-four thousand dollars ($34,00)), withheld from no objection to the new bonds, but because the owners
of the old bonds cannot just now control them.
This, it is expected, they can soon do, and then the exchanges will b^ made.
Every bond of tbe second mortgage has been exchanged"

number of through passenger?, 17,000 in number of local passengers, $132,000 in freight receipts, $50,000 in passenger receipts,
and $1,600 in miscellaneous receipts ard that an improvement in
the rates of freight, a slight increase in the amount of tonnage, and
the addiiion to through passenger business which may reasonably be expected, should soon restore the receipts of 1874 and 1875.
