Enough has been said, however, to
illustrate the chief present aspects of the monetary situ¬

have been somewhat more tardy than usual this year, but
which are suggestive of a favorable future; indeed, in
several extremely important respects, the general condi¬

justified in deducing similar inferences from the
facts.
Everyone knows that at certain critical periods
of the year the mischiefs produced in the money market
and in the general banking movements of the country
by contraction of the currency are attended with much
more danger than at other times.
Thus, as was said
above, the spring and fall of every year develop a
natural process of depletion, and lower the level in
New York and elsewhere of the deposits and reserves
of the banks which constitute the great centres of our
financial system. Each of these drains occurs at a time
of the year when, during the last ten years, contraction
of the currency has on various accounts been attempted
by the Treasury. And whenever at these critical times

debt, but also the ability and resources of the State, with
such other circumstances as fairly demand consideration.
This point was so clearly expounded by the Chairman
of the meeting, Mr. Taylor, of the firm of F. Butterfield
& Co., that it is somewhat surprising that so much
obscurity should have covered the subject in the public
mind.
The other mistake to which we refer is that of sup¬

representative of the Committee who is here
referred to has not yet completed his tour of negotia¬

anything with regard to the success or failure of
project. From the known capacity, however, of
this agent, and from the confidence with which, in wellinformed circles, success is looked for, there is a wide¬
spread belief that if the Committee, for a time, should
fail to accomplish all that they have proposed, they
have started a movement which will gradually spread
its beneficent influence, and will eventuate in the ad¬
justment of the defaulted bonds of a large proportion of

be overlooked. It is to be regretted that the movement
of which we have given this brief sketch was not com¬

One of the most
striking features of the year, and one which
experience in the field of prac¬
tical finance, was the silver movement. In London the price of
silver declined on the 8tli of July ..to 46$d. per oz., and from
that, as the lowest point, recovered gradually, and closed the
year at 56fd. per oz.
The large production of silver in this
country, the demonetization and sales of silver coin by Germany
and, above all, the heavy decline in the usual demand for silver
from India, contributed to produce this extraordinary movement.
The desire to resume specie payments (in silver) increased in

during the
year, it will hardly be agreeable to the average American to
contemplate the fact that the centennial year will probably show
a
larger amount than any previous years except 1857 and 1873,
which were notorious periods of financial disaster. The figures
of Messrs. Dun, Barlow & Co. for the full year are not yet pub¬
lished, but the statement for nine months fully warrants the
conclusion above drawn. The injury to business, arising from
the presidential election and the subsequent uncertainty, could
hardly fail to swell the amount of failures in the last quarter of
1876 far beyond what it would have been without this unfortu¬

“On the 24th of August, 1876, the Secretary entered into a

N. M. Rothschild & Sons, and associates, and Messrs. J. & W.
Seligman & Co., for themselves and associates, and Messrs. Drexel,

The terms provided in substance that the syndicate should

depression in values. The
events of the year which furnished the chief causes for the
decline in stocks were also of different origin, and applied to dif¬
ferent classes of stocks, carrying with them the discouraging
suggestion that no stock can be so strong as not to be liable to a
blow from some quarter.
In the first two or three months there
was considerable activity and, at times, buoyancy in tbe market,
and it was frequently remarked that a more healthy tone had set
in.
The first serious stroke against this improved condition of
affairs came in the shape of the railroad freight war, which
commenced in the latter part of April.
It was not known at first
who waa the responsible party for breaking up the then existing
arrangements among the trunk lines to the West, but it has since
appeared that it was a deliberate move on the part of Commodore
Vanderbilt, as President of the New York Central and Lake
Shore Companies, to secure the important principle of one uni¬
form rate for through freights from competitive points at tl e*
West over any of the four leading trunk lines to the Atlantic
Seaboard. The managers of «the Pennsylvania and Baltimore &
Ohio resisted this and stood out for rates based on mileage, which
would give them the advantage of lower prices to Philadelphia,
and Baltimore than to New York.

was followed by the sharpest competition for freight, and while

Southern Minnesota.—Under a decree made by the United
States Circuit Court for Minnesota, December 27, 1876, being in
modification of the decree of May 27, 1874, John Y. Page, Master
in Chancery, will sell this road at public sale in St. Paul, Minn.,
February 0, the sale including the entire road from the Missis¬
sippi River to Winnebago City, Minn., 167^ miles, with all the
shops, depots, and other property, the equipment and the unsold
portion of the land grant. The sale is in satisfaction of the equip¬
ment or second mortgage for $1,252,000, and will be made subject
to the lien of the mortgage of 1864 for $225,000, and without
prejudice to the rights of the holders of the $3,332,000 outstand¬
ing construction or first mortgage bonds. Under the decree, the
equipment bondholders have the right to buy in the property on
providing for the prior bonds.
Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Co , of No. 31 Nassau streefcradvertise for proposals for a loan of $2,800,000 7 3-10 per cent bonds of
the city of Cincinnati. This is the l?st of the issue authorised
for the construction of the Southern Railroad, owned by that
city. The bonds are to run until 1906, with interest payable in
May and November at the American Exchange Natiphal Bank in
this city.
The city of Cincinnati, aside from its Southern Rail¬
road loan, has been conspicuous for the small argount of its debt
as compared with other cities, and even including all the bonds
to be issued for the railroad, the total debt will still be of small
volume, as compared with Eastern cities.
—The National New Haven Bank, of New Haven, Conn., has
just declared a semi-annual dividend of six percent., the same
being the one hundred and sixty-second dividend. The bank w&8
incorporated in 1792, and the present venerable cashier, Mr.
Amos Townsend, entered the service of the bank in October, 1825,
and has consequently been with the institution over fifty years.
Wilbur F. Day, Esq., is President of this bank, and Henry Trow¬
bridge, Esq., Vice-President.
—The Union Trust Company is payiDg, on demand, a dividend
of five per cent, from the earnings of the past six months.

Market and Financial Situation .—The year
opens with a better feeling in financial
in our markets.
The depression at
circles, and a firmer tone
the close of last year has
given place to a more hopeful view of the politic.il situation,
and the low range of prices with which we start gives promise of
a gradual improvement rather than a depreciation in values here¬
after. Mr. Vanderbilt's death occurred on Thursday, and while
the loss of so prominent and wealthy a citizen could not be
other than an event of public importance in the community, it
appears that in the stock market it had been fully “ discounted,”
and the price of his particular stock, New York Central & Hud¬
son, advanced instead of declining.
The National Bank of Commerce, in this city, having $10,000,000 capital, is following the lead of some of the other banks
towards making a reduction in its capital stock, in consequence of
“
excessive and discriminating taxation,” and the Board of Direc¬
tors have adopted a resolution authorizing the President and
Cashier to take preliminary steps to enable the Board to make
such reduction.
As showing the relative importance of New
York City and State in banking capital and deposits, the follow¬
ing statement from figures compiled by Hon. John Jay Knox,
Comptroller of the Currency, are significant. They indicate the
amount of banking capital employed, and deposits held, by all
classes of banks and by private bankers :

quoted at 78£ bid, Tennessees, old, at 43£, Louisiana consols at
50, and North Carolina old bonds at 21. We understand that
the payment of coupons on Louisiana consols was begun in this
city, but there was some doubt as to whether all the coupons
would be met.
In Baltimore, the City Finance Commissioners
declined to accept any of the bids for the new $5,000,000 5 per
cent loan, as there were ten bids only, all from Baltimore, and
aggregating a sum less than $1,000,000.
In railroad bonds there is a trifle more of activity the past few
days, and prices are firmer. Interest on the first mortgage Ohio
& Miss, bonds, due on the 1st inst., remains unpaid, and no cir¬
cular or explanation of the default from the receivers has come
to our notice.
This road is the legitimate connecting line of the
Baltimore & Ohio, and if that company is willing to make any
reasonable terms for leasing or operating the road, it is difficult
to see bow the Ohio & Miss, stock and bondholders could do
better with their property. The past management of the Ohio &
Miss, has been such as to entirely shake confidence; and now,
after the company has gone to default, the bondholders will
want good assurance that the net earnings shall be applied to
unsecured debts.

day the lowest price yet made, viz., 106£. There is nothing new
in the market ; no one appears to want gold, and so it goes
down. The high rate.* for carrying are a check to purchases for
speculative account, though it seems more than probable that
any further decline will be likely to call out a speculative sup¬
port from some quarter. On loans the terms to-day were 1-32
per day to 6 per cent per annum for carrying.
Customs receipts
of the week were $13,62,000.
Silver was quoted to-day in Lon¬
don at 57^@57f.

THE
Shipments.—According to our cable despatch received
to-day, there have been 3,000 bales shipped from Bombay to Qreat
Britain the past week, and
bales to the Continent; while
the receipts at Bombay daring this week have been 9,000 bales.
The movement since the 1st of January is as follows. These are
the figures of W. Nicol & Co., of Bombay, and are brought
down to Thursday, Jan. 4:

it would appear that, compared with last
year, there is an increase of 2,000 bales this year in the week’s
shipments from Bombay to Europe, and that the total movement
since January 1 shows an increase in shipments of 2,000 bales,
compared witn the corresponding period of 1876.

stocks were found to be comparatively small, and holders exhib¬

The snow in our streets and
the ice in the harbor have, however, proved such serious
obstacles to local transportation that deliveries have been very
difficult, and there has been no disposition to make purchases
that could be postponed. Trade has naturally been dull in con¬
sequence, while prices have been rather hardening.
To day, the
market was dull, and prices scarcely so firm.
The wheat market has also been advancing, though it lias
been impossible to do much business.

There was*
however, a fair movement in the most staple cotton and woolen
goods, and fancy and shirting prints were distributed to the city
trade In considerable amounts. Despite the general quiet, which
has prevailed since last October, values are steadily maintained,
and cotton goods are not only held with firmness, but many makes
have an advancing tendency.
Mens’-wear woolens for the
spring trade have been opened by many of the commission
houses, and sales have already been made to the clothing trade

of each Bond is not confined a to single
Mortgage, but extends over all the Mortgages owned
by the Compa iy. '1 his company receives no deposits,
guaraut esno other securities, and has uo other debts
than its bonds. Its Mortgages are of like character to
those which have been bought in the last twenty years
by Individuals, Life Insurance Companies and other
Corporations, to the amount of mo e than Fifty Mil¬
lions of Collars, proving a most secure and satisfactory
Investment, 1 he Loans are all upon improved Farms
in some of the most fertile Western states, near the
Railroads, with short a*d perfect titles, and average
less than $650 each, upon property worth nearly four
times their amount. Experience has proved that we'lselected Mortgages upon tins class of property are
saler than those upon city property, either in the East
or West. They are notailectcd by h ires, or by Business
revulsions; Principal and Interest are more promptly
paid; and upon the su cess of Agri ulture depends
that of almost every industrial investment. *
