Alabama & Ciiattanooga. In the United States Supreme
Court a decree of affirmance was made of the decree below foreclosing the mortgage of the bondholders and removing the cloud
from the title caused by the bankruptcy of the company, the
seizure of Its property by the government of the State of
Alabama, and tlie sale therof by the assignees in bankruptcy.
The Court is satisfied from an examination of the grounds upon
which the objections to the decree rest that they show no error
therein.
Justice Bradley delivered the opinion.
Philadelphia & Readin?. The committee elected by the
stockholders of the Reading Railroad Company at the late annual
meeting, to investigate the accounts and affairs of the same, in
view of the charges made by Mr. C. E. Smith, have resigned,
and, it is said, the meeting of stockholders having adjourned sine
die, their places cannot be filled by new appointments.
The
reason for declining is want of time for the performance of the
requisite labor involved without any compensation.

The present meeting

and a committee was appointed to inquire into the affairs of the
Vermont division of the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad, the
relative riifhts of the different bondholders, &c., &c and to re

At an adjourned meeting of the P. & 0. Company, held in
Portland, Jan. 25, a committee reported a plan to reduce the second mortgage to $800,000 and issue preferred stock for the balance and for the unsecured debt. As the city holds $1,350,000
of second mortgage bonds, it will hold the controlling interest in
the management. The necessary legislation will be asked.

cussion in Congress keeps the country in a state of uncertainty,
and the prosp' ct of an early vote on the question is regarded with
satisfaction by both sides. The money market works more easily
as the year advances, and a majority of bankers look forward to
another period of very easy money during the coming spring and
summer.
In our local money market the large increase in the bank
reserves, as shown by their last statement, had the effect of stimulating the easier feeling which had already commenced, and
money is offered this week on government bonds as low as 4 per

bonds have held meetings in Baltimore, and it is i-tatu.l that they
have decided to ask the city of Baltimore "that some form of
aettlemeni be reached, or that proceediDgs for foreclosure be
taken." The city has endorsed $200,000 of bonds issued under
the first mortgage, and it therefore has a prior claim on the
company.
Attention is directed to the annual statement of the Atlantic
Mutual (Marine) Insurance Company. Amid all the vicissitudes
in business affairs the Atlantic maintains its position unshaken
and declares its customary dividend of 40 per cent in scrip on
the net-earned premiums of 1877, while paying 6 pT cent on outstanding scrip and redeeming the issue of 1374. Merchants have
come to looa upon the Atlantic scrip as one of their most certain
profits, and there can be little complaint of high rates for insurance when the return dividends are made so regularly and of so
large a percentage. The statement, which will be found in our
advertising columns, shows that in 1877 the total amount of
marine premiums received was $8,751,028, and loss- s paid during
the saaie time $2,u65 890. The company now holds in assets

as to all the issues except new four per cents, the scarcity of

has a right to anticipate a large popular subscription to his four

them, induces depositors to seek government securities. In

The Orient Mutual Insurance Compnny publishes its annual
statement in another column. The premiums received during
1877 were $9.50,995, and the losses and expenses $53(5,539. The
assets of the company December 31, 1877, were $1,561,951.
The

Mr. Eugene Dutilh. President; Mr. Alfred Ogden, Vice-President; and Mr. Charles Irving, Secretary.
The Mutual Lite Insurance Companv, of which Mr. F. S.
Winston is the well-known President, is'lhe first of the three
great life companies of this city to appear with its annual statement. The ciimpany is apparently in a highly prosperous condition, and under the careful and able management of Mr. Winston
we believe that the assets of the company have been invested in
the soundest securities, and will be.ir the most careful inspection.
In 1877 the company received from premiums $14,030,1.53 and
from interest nod rents $4,882,307. It paid death claims of
$6,109 533, $4,239,426 for surrendered policies and additions,
$3,.568,161 in dividends to policy-holders, and carries forward a
balance to new account of $33,355,678. Tht- assets of the company now amount to $85,033,318, and its surplus on the New

Of the 63 corporations making returns, 28 paid dividends varying from 1 to 10 per cent, and averaging on the entire stock of
all the dividend-paying roads 717 per cent, or one-third of one
per cent less than last year. The sum paid in dividends
(15,429,183) amounted to 4 6 per cent on the entire stock capital
of all the carporations, dividend paying and non-diviienri paving.
The Bura paid in dividends in 1872-73 ($7,230,4.)0)
amounted to 634 per cent on the entire stock capital of the
railroads of the State at that time. It would hence appear that
since 1872-73 the average rate of dividend on the stock of the
Massachusetts railroads ha^ been reduced 29 per cent,

Railroad bonds are quite firmly held, although the investment

we notice that some of the lower-priced first mortgages have
advanced 1@3 per cent, and with anything like a good inquiry
for bonds we look for higher prices.

established rates, and to circulate reports of a break In the combination among tbe trunk lines.

exchange has been rather more active

and rates have recently advanced. This, so far as we can learu
the real causes for it, is more due to a speculative movement
than to anything else. Seeing a rather moderate supply of bills
at hand, brokers stepped in and bought ffeely wliat banktTS
were offering, and rates were subsequently advanced. The bond
importers have been, as usual, the main purchasers, and some
bills have also been taken by parties who wished thus to buy
gold at lOlf.
In domestic hills the following were rates on New York at the
undermentioned cities to-day: Savannah, buying par, selling i
premium; Cincinnati, quiet, 100 discount
par; St. Louis, 50
off.; Charleston, scarce,
5-333i, selling at par; New Orleans,
commercial |@i^ aiscouut, bank par; Chicago, 80 discount, and

In view of the debt of the company, contracted for the general

the debt by an issue of $2,000,000 of six per cent twenty-year
bonds. $500,000 of said bonds have been deposited with the
Rhode Island Hospital Trust Company, to retire the previous

Fitclibni^ Railroad.
{Fw the year ending September 30, 1877.)
From the annual report we have the following: During the
year the company's property has betn very much improved.
Seven and one quarter miles of the addiiional track between
Fitcbburg and Ashburnham have been laid with steel, and the
remaining portion of the work required to finish the entire
distance is rapidly approaching completion, and without doubt
will be entirely finished this season, adding grtatly to the safety,
convenience an'! economical working of the road.
have partially completed a commodious and convenient
structure at Fitchburg, which we intend to use in conjunction
with the Boston Clinton Fitchburg & New Bedford Railroad Company, as a union depot, they paying ua a fair rental for the portion occupied by them.
The gross earnings from passengers, freight. United Stales
mails, express business and rent of property, compared with the
similar earnings of 1876, show an increase of $70,483, while the
total gross earnings are $60,958 in excess of last year.
The
operating expenses, exclusive of rents and interest, are $33,837
more than last year. Rents and interest paid have increased
$24,606, and the net earnings are $3,513 larger than last year
but our last year's earnings included the sum of $12,486 received
for premiums on stock, etc., so that our actual net earnings are
$15,000 in advance of last year.
In the past we have made large expenditures and pursued a
liberal policy to secure and provide for the traffic which we
believe will inevitably come to this road via the Hoosac Tunnel.
These additions and improvements have considerably enlarged
onr debt, but our expenditures have been made with great
caution, and recently in such directions as would yield an imme
diate return, as is already shown in an increased income from

The report says: "On the first of August last, the Vermont

The facilities for the shortest and most direct rail communication

summoned to appear before the S. J. Court to answer to the
trustees under the mortgage of November 1, 1870, in a bill in
equity brought by them for the purpose of foreclosing the said
mortgage, on account of non-payment of the interest due January 1, 1877, and also praying that in the meantime a board of

petition, but before the public announcement of the decision of
the Court, a proposition was made by this company to the
trustees of the mortgage for enlargement of the time in which
the company migUt pay the overdue interest coupons, v:z., those
of January 1 and July 1, 1877, and also those that would becomedue January 1 snd July 1, 1878.
" Tbe proposition which was made, andfinally accepted by the
trustees, was that the proceedings in equity should be discontinued, and that the trustees, instead thereof, should commence
foreclosure of the mortgage in the manner provided by the
Revised Statutes of the State of Maine, and that the company
should provide for the payment of said interest coupons of
January and July, 1877, and January and July, 1878, by giving
their company notes for the same, p lyable in twelve equal semi'annual payments, the first payment to be due October 1, 1877,and that if the company should punctually pay, as they should

provisions for the mutual protection of the bondholders and the

We do not know how his estimate of 800,000 bales additional
shipments was made up that is, what portion he gave to Bombay and what to other ports. The Bombay authorities have for

staple goods, however, and more attention was
bestowed on spring styles of dress gcods, cambrics, prints,
hosiery, &c., by jobbers from the larger interior cities, who are
about making up their assortments for the coming season. Ihe
system of " pooling'' freights which was adopted by the trunk
lines of railroad last July is working badly for this city, and
Western merchants are now shipping many of their low-priced
bulky cotton goods, &o., by means of cheap, but circuitous, routes
from Boston, Baltimore, &c. Moreover, the prospect of obtaining
lower freights from this market in the early future has doubtlesg
retarded business during the last few weeks to a very considerable
extent. There was no important change in values of either
domestic or foreign goods, and prices generally ruled steady.
Domestic Cotton Goods. The exports of cotton goods
from this port, for the week ending January 33, reached 4,043
packages, including 8,530 packages to China, 340 to British East
Indies, 340 to Smyrna, 325 to United States of Colombia, 198 to
Argentine Republic, 88 to British Honduras, 78 to Mexico, 56 to
Brazil, 58 to Hayti, 40 to Great Britain, 33 to Venezuela, &c.
Brown and colored cottons continued in fair demand and generally firm at current quotations, but bleached cottons were
unsettled, and while some makes of wiJe sheetings were slightly
advanced, Lonsdale shirtings were reduced to 9c., the lowest price
ever quoted by agents for these goods. Cheviots were sold to a
fair aggregate by means of low prices, but cottonades moved
slowly. Print cloths were more active, but prices continued
low on the basis of 3 9-16(a3|c., cash, for extra 64x61s, and 3ic.
offered for 5Gx608. Prints were lightly dealt in, but ginghama
were a shade more active than when last reported upon, and firm

irregular, but changes not important.
Rye has been quiet, and prices were somewhat unsettled.
Malting barley has been dull, but feeding barley met with a fair
demand at 53@53c. for Western. Oats materially declined, No. 2

Cloths and doeskins ruled quiet and steady, and meltona
were in limited request. Faced coatin^^s were taken in small
lots to a moderate amount, and clothing flannels were fairly

Cotton warp worsted coatings met with conaiderabla
but at prices which left only a slight margin of profit to
manufacturers. Kentucky jeans were less active than expected,
and satinets were only in limited demand. Worsted dress goods
have been opened by all the principal agents on a lower basis
than last year, but sales were comparatively light.
Foreign Dry Goods.— There waa a little more animation in
imported goods, but business was by no means active. Dreaa
