The mercantile embarrassments were also increased
by the uncertainty in regard to financial affairs, caused by
the action of Congress above alluded to, which put a
check upon healthy activity in the markets. The changes
proposed in the tariff and kept under discussion for months
were also the direct cause of the failure of some houses
and of serious losses to others.
The foreign trade movement of the United States presented an excess in the exports over imports which was
far beyond the anticipations of the most sanguine.
For
the ten months ending with October 31 the excess of
exports over imports, taking merchandise and specie
together, was $234,653,751, against an excess of $97,191,438 in the same period of 1877. This large balance
enabled the country to take back from abroad some

which had been derived from farming operations in 1877,

enabled those engaged in agricultural pursuits to show
larger net profits than they had obtained in many years.
The yellow fever raged in the South in August, September, and the first half of October to an extent which
went far beyond anything in previous experiences of thai
malignant epidemic. The principal cities and villages of

comparatively small crops of 1870 furnished a light business to
the railroads in the first six months of 1877, and a decrease in
earnings from this cause and from the loss of passenger traffic,
as compared with the centennial year 1876,- made them show
a large decline in earnings. But with July, 1877, a recovery in
railroad securities set in, which was maintained with only temporary interruptiocs during the balance of that year and through
out 1878. There were no such general speculative movements in
the year under review as those which occurred in the previous

place more in respect to particular stocks or groups of the same
class of stocks than in quick bear or bull movements of ihe

and Railroad Bonds.— In State bonds the principal
transactions have been in Louisiana consols, which sold as low as
68 to-day, in consequence of the default on January interest. The
funding association of the United S ates invites the holders of
Virginia bonds to join in urging upon the Ixigislature of that
State the issue on certain terms of 4 per cent bonds in place of
the old bonds outstanding.

The money market and Financial Situation There is
but one topic of engrossing interest this weelt, and that is the
resumption of specie payments.
he United States Government
after seventeen years of suspension now redeems the promise
carried on the face of its legal-tender notes and pays them in
gold.
As the premium on gold lias been only nominal for some
time past the practical changes in the channels of business are
bnt slight, but all parties having gold accounts can now discontinne them, as the banks have done away with their special
gold deposits.
The opinion is quite generally held that the
resumption of specie payments by the Government under existing
circumstances is a practicable and legitimate measure. There is
no prospect of any speedy demand for coin which can drain the
supply ot the '1 reasury, and as to the remote future, it is far
better to trust in the ability to maintain specie payments under
a
careful and judicious administration of the government finances,
and resume at once, rather than delay the day of resumption and
offer encouragement for all sorts of financial nostrums calculated
to prolong the uncertainty which has already been so baneful
to
the country's best interests, A buoyant tone has been noticed at
the Stock Exchange, and the prices of bonds and all classes
of
investment securities have been very strong.
The money market has worked more easily than is usual at the
opening of the year, and on call loans the rates have been
4@>6
per cent. Prime paper is in moderate supply and moves

Railroad bonds have been very active, and the Stock Exchange
show heavy sales throughout. Prices are held with great
firmness, and it is not unusual to observe an advance of 1(3.5 per
cent in opular bonds within the past few days.

on large sales, have advanced to 103J, ex-interest.

Boston Hoosac Tunnel & Western.— Some years ago, when
the completion of the Hoosac tunnel was supposed to be near,
two companies the Troy & Boston Railroad and the Albany &
Northern Railroad were formed to connect with the tunnel
road.
The Albany road failed, and in 1803 the Troy & Boston
Company leased its road-bed, and other property, in perpetuity,
after the tunnel was opened for traffic. Three years ago the
Erie railway endeavored to obtain permission from the Troy &
Boston railroad to reach Boston by the use of the latter's road,
but as the Troy & Boston road was under the Vanderbilt influence, the effort failed.
The Erie Company and the Delaware &
Hudson Canal Company, with Boston capitalists, last year commenced the cona'.ruction of a road parallel for several m*les with
the Troy & Boston Railroad, using the roadbed of the Albany ie
Northern Railroad. Suit was commenced by the Troy & Boston
road, which claimed possession under the lease. Tbe case haa
been in court for several months, until lately, when Judge
Oaborn decided that the Troy & Boston road was entitled to possession.
The opposition road has laid rails the whole distance,
built bridges, and had begun running trains.
General Burt, President of the Boston Hoosac Tunnel &
WeFtern Railroad, says that an appeal will be taken from the
decision aeainst his road. Security will be given, pending the
final decision, and trains will be run in the meantime.

annual report states, in substance,
that the additions duriug the year to the road-bed, track and
equipment have placed them in a bettur condition than they
were ever in before. This company has been obliged, from the
nature of a business seeking an outlet by way of the Hiosac tunnel, to change radically the standard of its road from one doicg

improvements upon tbe whole road. The company has leased in
Boston Constitution wharf, and purchased the Shawmut elevator.
The lease was made for a term of five years, with the privilege
of purchasing within that time, or of leasing for a second term of
five years and a thiid term of ten years.
Notwithstanding the considerable increase in business, the
additional income derived therefrom was insutflcient to equal the
increased payments on account of rent of roads and interest, and
the net earnings of tbe year, including all receipts and expenditures, have decreased $33,937.

Court of this State, in the decision just rendered, did not declare
any State bonds whatever to be valid. On the contrary, they
confirm the report of the Bond Commission. This commission
reported that $1,577,835 of bonds and stock issued under the
Consolidation act were valid, and that $2,818,454 were invalid, as
having been issued in exchange for invalid bonds, coupons and
certificates of stock.
But this $2,818,454 is only invalid, bond
by bond, to the extent of the invalid vouchers that each bond
represents, the percentage of invalidity ranging down from 100
to a trifle.
The Bond Court confirm this view, and the whole
recognized public debt of South Carolina on Nov. 1 was, therefore, the total issue of consolidation securities

Tbe plan takes in the third mortgage debt of $800,000. The

active, but at variable prices, and yet the fluctuations
been so wide as last week, although the course of values has
been much the same. There was some depression on Saturday and a slight decline on Monday, especially in the spring and
summer months. The weather report of last week and the other
indications that severe storms had interfered with the movement of th« crop, together with tamer foreign advices, not only
checked the enthusiasm of the operators for a rise, but caused
gome selling to realize. The bears, however, were very chary of
putting out contracts. On Tuesday, however, there was renewed
buoyancy, the decline of Monday being recovered. A disposition
existed to anticipate better foreign accounts after the holidays,
for as the weather continued bad, it was believed that there
would be no immediate increase in the movement of the crop.
There was also a disinclination to leave contracts standing out till
the re-opening of the Liverpool market. Yesterday, the very
small receipts at the ports on Wednesday (less than ten thousand
bales, as reported to our Cotton Exchange), gave a great impetus
to the speculation which the comparatively full figures for the
day had little effect in checking. To-day, Liverpool at first
responded freely to our advance of yesterday, but soon developed
weakness, under which, inconjunction with slightly freer receipts,
yesterday's advance with us was wholly lost, nearly the lowest
figures of the week being reached.
