THE PROSPECTS OP RECDPEBATION.

The

recent meeting of the National Board of Trade

in this city brings before us,

among other

things,

two or

three practical questions relative to the panic of 1873,

and

on the present and prospective condition
of business. It seems to be taken for granted that tlie
depression, which pervades all departments of productive industry, has been in some unexplained way produced by the panic; and that the Jay Cooke failure,
with the other disasters of three years ago, must be
regarded as the efficient causes of that series of financial and mercantile troubles which have since occurred.
Now, we have several times demonstrated the necessity
that our merchants and bankers should take a broader
and more comprehensive view of the financial situation,
if they would forecast with any certainty its future

for it much more important, and that the existing paraly

contemporary, a series of stagee, beginning with overtrading, high prices, extravagance and debt, and culminating in revulsion, bankruptcies and disaster. After
applying his principles to former panics, he discusses the

-Connected with those earlier

troubles of the last few years, as follows:
" The United States, since 1867, had been constructing railways at a pace never before reached, either in that or any otlier
region; and not railways only, but canals, docks, wharves, warehouses, and every sort of fixed investment directed to the extenIn Europe tliere

had been, since about 1862, the regular appearance as large
borrowers of a group of half-barbarous states never before heard
of in the money market Turkey, Egypt, Honduras, Peru, Roumania, Venezuela, obtained year by year tens of millions sterling,
and applied at least some portion of the money to the purchase
of English materials and labor. The effect of the war of 1870-1
in' stopping nearly all reproductive labor and enterprise in France
and Germany the waste, in short, of gigantic hostilities carried
pB for a twelve month and the delirium of peace and its accompanying ransom in the conquering nation, threw upon England,
in 1871-3, the task of supplying the urgent demands of no small
part of Europe. To the fortunate persons who happened to be in
popsession of the means of supply notably the owners of coal
mines and iron works the results were fabulous. As we all
well remember, nothing was talked about but colossal fortunes
male in a few months, and an advance in wages and piices beyond all example. The whole industrial and commercial machine
vras being driven with a velocity and subjected to twists and
alterations it could not long endure. A pause came in the summer
of 1873. The pause in New York in September of that year told
very plainly that in the United States the tension had become
insapportable, that floating capital was exhausted for a time,
and that cost of production had destroyed consumption. Exactly
the same phenomena repeated themselves in Germany, Austria,
Kusaia, Holland aed Bulgium.
In all these countries, since the
autumn of 1873, there has been a process of relapse and retreat
from a state of things in which expenditure of all kinds had
outran, first, income, and then floating capital, in which wages
had long exceeded the intrinsic value of tlie work performed in
exchange for them; and in which the market prict-s ot securities
had been raised excts.-ively by a belief in future profits very far
larger than the community could furnish or support."

Floating capital increases in any country by the savings
of its peeople or by importation from other countries. We
hall hereafter be able to suggest reasons for the belief
that in both these ways our floating capital is augmented.
We have thus one of the conditions for recuperation.
But there is another of equal importance, namely,
confidence. We not only need abundance of floating
capital, but also that its owners should have confidence
to lend it to the right men, and that the right men
should have confidence to borrow it and to use it in productive industry. Here we find the weak point of the
finaHcial situation.
There is a lack of confidence, both
on the part of capital and of good borrowers of that
capital.

The following table is a summary for the years 1875

railroads lor the year 1875 as compared with 1874. The following
is the summary given of the results:
The table contains very few New England roads, those mostly
reporting for the year ending with September, as do most of the
New York roads. Of lines east of Ohio and north of the Putoirao
there are about 4,200 miles; of those further west, north of the
Ohio and not further south than Missouri and Kansas, there are
about lu,500 miles; of Southern roads the mileage is about 1,900
miles.
Tbe roads reporting had 491 miles, or abont 3^ per cent. more
road in 1875 than in 1874. Their gross earnings were less by
nearly nine millions of dollars, or about 5 per cent.; their net

Per mile of road tbere was a reduction of $675, or 7 3 per cent, in
gross earnings, and of $317, or 9 per cent., in net earnings. Summarized, the aggregate results may be stated as follows:

Differenee.

It Will be seen that the increase of freight
earnings

has been nearly three times as great as that of
passenger
receipts.
But the amount of earnings measures only a
portion of the increase in business, on
account of the
great reduction which has been made in the
charges of
transportation. In 1864, the year after
the formation of
the New York Central Railroad by the
consolidation of
various companies, 549,805 tons of freight were
carried,
at rates yielding 3.49 cents per ton per mile; in
1875^

over the same

line,

were carried 6,001,954 tons of

freight,'

Last year we published a similar table including 58 rai'roada
with 17,684 miles of road, for the years 1874 and 1873. The
result then shown was remarkable, for while earnings had
decreased nearly as much as they did the following year, the decrease in working expenses was so much greater tbat there was
absolutely an increase in net earnings, amounting to no less than
7^ per ceiit. This year, on the other band, we have a decrease of
9 per cent.

The most unfavorable feature in our export trade is the heavy
decline in the shipments of British manufactures to the United

An unusually large
number of holders of government bonds seem to be placing
their interest again in the same securities, and among these we
may mention the shipping and banking firms having connections
with Cuba and the West Indies, who have been free purchasers
of registered bonds for their customers and correspondents in
those places. The German bankers here seem to think that a war
in Europe would not depress the price of United States bonds
in the Continental markets, but would possibly stimulate them.

date of oar present report brings to mind the fact that we are
just now at the close of the first half year of 187(5. While there
are many gratifying and hopeful features in the financial outlook
at tbe present moment, it is useless to deny that the past six
months have been in many respects quite unsatisfactory, and the
business interests of the country have not shown that progress
towards recuperation which was generally anticipated at the
opening of the year. In the Government finances nothing has
been definitely accomplished towards a bona-Jide resumption of
specie payments at a reasonable future date, nor towards futther
progress in funding tlie 6 per cent debt. In mercantile business
there have been numerous suspensions among firms and manufacturing corporations, whose business was at length " dried up"
by the continued low prices and diminishing profits.
In
financial circles the first two months of the year were tolerably
Batisfactory to bankers and stock brokers, but the period since
hag shown a considerable re action, and during much of the time
the volume of transactions has been very moderate.
In taking a general view of the situation at this time, we find
that tJhere is encouragepent in the fact that both political
parties
have nominated candidates for the Presidency who are decided
advocates of a sound currency and a faithful performance by
the
Oovemment of all its obligations to creditors; thit the oftrepeated story of the prices of merchandise having " touched
bottom 'still has some force in it, for the decrease in production
of manufactured goods must eventually leave a better
market for
those parties who continue in business. And,
again, there is
always reason for taking increased confidenca in iJoticing
the
unbounded resources of the country and the unquenchable buoyancy and vitality of its people. However meagre and
disappointing may have been the profits of business,
it must be
admitted by all that we have none of the
features usually
preceding a period of panic, and during the hard
times ex
perienced since September, 1873, we have
undoubtedly made
progreps towards a substantial recovery.
In our local money market the tone is perceptibly
firmer for call
loans, in consequence of the preparations by
banks and others for
the July disbursements. The rates are 3 to 4 per cent.
according
to the character of borrowers and collaterals.

State and Railroad Bond«._AmoDg the active State bonds
Tennessees have been the strongest, on a demand which is supposed to come from parties interested in some of the railroads
there is also some talk of the State Treasury having a considerable surplus on hand, and the possible payment of one coupon
but this has little weight. Louisiana consols have fallen oft
considerably, since this market has recently taken a pretty large
supply of these b^nds; the July interest is noticed for payment
here and in New Orleans. It ii now generally understood that
no interest will be paid in July on South Carolina consols; the
coupons are receivable in the State for taxes, but as to cash the
Treasury has been further embarrassed by being obliged to
receive a large amount of South Carolina bank notes instead of
;

money.
Railroad bonds have continued strong and moderately active,
the largest business being done in the first mortga;?es of the
Paul aiad Northwest consolidated
Pacifies and in the
St.
bonds. The interest on the California Pacific bonds, guaranteed
by Central Pacific, will be paid at the Park Bank. There was
quite a sharp decline in the Lehigh and Wilkesljarre Coal Co.
consolidated bonds guaranteed by Central of New Jersey, which
sold at 81 yester Jay, and back to 83@84i to-day.

and all sorts of rumors and opinions were expressed as to the

to furnish money to the Atlantic & Pacific to build the proposed

moderate business. Bankers are not drawing freely, aa they
can not buy enough commercial bills at a profit to famish them
inducement to sell their own, and thu« on a small demand the
rates remain steady at about 4.87} for bankers' sixty-days' sterling,
and 4.89} for short sight. Purchasesof blHs to remit for coupons
have done fomething to sustain prices, and except for thia the
tone might have been less firm.

The stockholders, at their annual meeting in Jane, 1875, voted
to extend the Oskaloosa Branch of the Chicago Rock Island and
Pacific Railroad, from Sigourney, Keokuk Co., Iowa, to Knoxville,
Marion Co., a distance of about fifty miles. The road was open
for traffic the latter part of February. The remaining twenty-five
miles to Knoxville were put under contract in December, and it is
expected will be finished and in operation about the first of September next.
A further extension of 31 miles west from Knoxville will connect with the Indianola Branch Railroad, and thus give a western
connection with your main line, via Des Moines.
With this connection complete, your company would have two
parallel roads from Wilton to Des Moines, passing centrally
throush two adjacent tiers of counties, and they could be used to
give the relief usually obtained by building a second track.

passenger train commenced to run over the bridge on the 13th of
June, 1875.
The total number of railway passengers carried during; the 10^

The.T were carried in 43,153 coaclies, averaging for each trip llj

UNION BAn^WAT A«D TRANSIT COMPANY.
This company is under contract to furnish all the motive power,
real estate, yard room, warehounes. &e., and to operate the three
miles or more of railway between St. Louis and East St. LouiB
and the National Stock Yards, and to furnish all clerical work,
and to assume all the risks as public carriers to persons and
property and to rolling stock, for a compensation to be paid in
certain schedule rates for hauling cars and for terminal labor,
which rates, however, must share rataMy in such reductions of
bridge rates as competition may necessitate.
The operations of this company during the current year were
an follows: They have hauled 43,153 passenger and 17,558 baggage, mail and express care total 59,711 cars ior passenger
Bervice, for which they were entitled under the contract to receive
f2 per car. The total amount paid them was $96,681, or an
average of f 1 01 per car. This rateis now reduced to $1 50, and
will, ai we have every reason to expect, bo shortly reduced to $1.
Of freight cars, the.y have moved 45,037 loaded and 34,347
empty cars. Total, 79 374. They have received for hauling that
number of cars $79,086, or a fraction over $1 per car. For terminal charges, labor and d ravages we have paid them during the
whole year $13,994, or about 3 1-10 (3.1) cents per ton of freight
handled in the yards.
The Bridge Company has the right to call upon the Transit
Company for the purchase of any real estate, for any extension of
track.'?, for any increase of rolling stock, plant or terminal facilities, for erection of warehouses
in fact, for everything which is
thought to be necessary for the accommodation and enlargement
of its business, until the cash outlay (now about $700,000) reaches
one million dollars. We have availed ourselves of this right to
a very full extent during the current y^ar. Large coal yards,
with ample track room, covering several city blocks, and with
ground enough to accommodate, besides coal,, all the heavy carload freight, such aa lumber, stone, Band,&e., have been provided.

July Interest and Dividend Payments in Boston.— The
following is from the statement compiled by Mr. Joeeph G.
Martin, Stock BroKer, No. 10 State street, Boston:
The City of Chicago has made provision for the payment of
the first time
interest on its bonds attheTremont National Bank
it has been paid in Boston.
It is impossible to say exactly the
amount to be disbursed here, but all coupons presented will be
cashed. We have placed the sum nominally at $100,000. which
is more likely to be exceeded.
There is also $95,000 of principal
(6 per cents.) due July 1, numbers I to 100 letter G, payable at
same place. The total debt of Chicago is $13,457,000, and tho
coupons are, we believe, all payable January and July.
The record of manufacturing companies is one of the poorest
for many years, and is remarkable both for the small payments
and the large number left out altogether. The changes are as

Tennessee Fiiiancesi— Mr. J. F. Wheless, of Nashville, writes

We extract the following

debt.

:

is not now saxiously
entertained, there seems to be but two prominent proposiifttiB aB
to the course that should be adopted. One of the plans advocated
is to
scale ' the debt twenty-five, forty or fifty per cent, (most
probably the latter, if they scalerat all) and guarantee the pun,ctual
payment of the interest on the remainder.
" The other plan recognizes the necessity of levying a tax
sufficient to pay the interest in full as it falls due.
The first
plan is not wanting in advocates, and among them are some of
our best and ablest citizens, men conspicuous for their integrity,and
esteemed as eminent citizens, but who, I fear, have failed to realise
the calamitous efl'ects of the policy they favor. They seem to
think the debt can be ' sealed ' with the same propriety that they
as individuals (if their assets were insafficent to pay in full) could
propose a compromise with their creditors ; but the cases are very
difierent.
The analysis fails in many respects, and though 1
would not question their sincerity, it is difficult to comprehend
how they reach their conclusions. If the creditors of the State
were to suggest their willingness to compromise, and were to
make an offer to that effect, it is very plain that the State could
accept the offer without discredit in any way attaching to her
action.
But if the State says to her creditors she can't pay and
has determined to scale the debt 50 per cent, the charge of repudiation with all its humiliating and blighting effects will cload
her reputation, and that for ail time to come lor the adoption of
any plan which dictates to t!;e creditor, or that operates to coerce
him into accepting less than the face of the bond, is absolutely and necessarily repudiation.
The simplest and most
feasible plan in this connection, and the one likely to be most
equitable in its immediate and ultimate results, imposing upon
the taxpayer the lightest burden possible and doing the least
injustice to the creditor, is to levy a tax of six mills and increasing the privilege tax in same proportion, and making the coupons
receivable to the extent of two thirds of all the dues arising to the
State therefrom.
This would place them upon a footing, as
regards the State, similar to that upon which the government
has placed its notes ; in no respect would it be inferior. This
would give them a market value of 70 to 80 per cent on the dollar, and from that they would gradually appreciate to par.
The
rate of taxation would be higher, but the market value of the
coupons (in which two-thirds of the tax would be payable),
would for the next two years be such that it would be about as
easy to pay six mills as it is now to pay four. There would benothing of a coercive nature in this plan. No creditor would be
required to accept lets than the lace value of his coupons. His
doing BO would be a matter of choice, for the longer he held
the more nearly they would appreciate to par, as in the case of
Bank of Tennessee money."

Toledo Wabash

&

TVcstern.— The bondholders' committee,

Messrs. Ellis, White, Martin, Seeny, Post, and Messrs. Winslow,
Lanier & Co., have issued a notice to bondholders stating
that, " under the decree of sale made in Ohio on the 14th

December last and subsequently concurred in by the
Courts in Indiana and Illinois, the road, equipment, &a., were
sold on the 10th instant, at Toledo, O'uio, and bought in by
the PurchaMng Co:nmittee in trust tor the gold bondholders,
subject to all previous mortgages. The sale has been confirmed
by the Court in Ohio, but cannot be confirmed for some weeks in
the ether States, as the Courts have adjourned for the summer.
As soon as the confirmation of the sale it complete, and the deed
delivered, immediate steps will be taken for the formation of a
new company to take the management of the property. It is our
present expectation and intentiun that the new company shall
resume payment, on the first of February next,of the coupons then
due on the first mortgages on the main line, between Toledo and
the Illinois Hiver, and the Illinois and Southern Iowa Branch,
with such further arrangement for the over-due coupons as shall
prove satisfactory to the holders. It is intended to resume payment on the 1st of August, 1877, of the coupons of the Decatur
and East St. Louis Branch, and on the 1st of November, 1877, on
the first mortgages of the Quincy and Toledo Branch, and on all
the first morigages on the main line.

from mercantile affairs and it has been a common remark in bnsiness circles that it were useless to expect that anything of
importance will be done daring this week or the next.
The market for provisions has generally had a hardening
tendency, and it is stated with reference to what is termed summer packing that the receipts of swine at the West " continue
quite liberal, and packers are doing quite an extensive business

The packing to date does not vary much from 650,000
hogs since the close of the season, and it ia estimated that the
aggregate packing at Chicago during the summer season will reach
1,000,000 hogs. The quality so far has been excellent for the
season of tbe year excelling that of last year." But stocks of

heen dull and depressed. The announcement that our market
is to be closed from this evening to Wednesday morning, has
induced receivers to offer lota arriving with rather more freedom.
The more belligerent aspect of Continental politics, latterly, has
been counterbalanced in some degree by the advance in gold, and
the reduced movement at Bombay. To-day, the market was dull
and easier. For future delivery there has been a quiet market,
with slight fluctuations, but in "the aggregate very little change.
Weather reports have been generally very favorable to the
crop, and "arrivals " at Liverpool have exhibited weakness: but
there was an unwillingness to press or to remain "short" for
any considerable period, which caused buyers to appear whenever the decline exceeded l-16c. With reference to the next crop,
the prevailing opinion on our cotton exchange seem^ to be, that
a full acreage has been planted, and a good stand secured, but
that the plant is " weedy," develops too much stalk and leaves,
and too few bolls; that the latter are shaded so much by the
leaves as not to make good progress; that grass has obtained an
injurious growth, and that an unusual effort, favored by a prolonged period of dry weather, is necessary to overcome these
drawbacks. The weather for the past week, as reported to the
Cotton Exchange, has beeii generally hot and dry; local storms,

There has been a fair movement iu heavy woolen gooda for
mens' wear the past week, aside from which business has been
generally liffht with manufacturers' agents and importers. The
jobbing trade has relapsed into that condition of quiet which is
characteristic of the close of the season, but -was on the whole
fully up to expeetaliong. The California trade have commenced

buying a few goods for the coming season, but jobbers in other
sections of the country have not yet begun operations. Converters
have already placed some fair orders for cotton-flannels, etc.,
which will be charged up as soon as manufacturers have
determined upon prices, which will be in course of two or three
weeks.
