the non-issuing banks are 1Y8.
Of the latter, 43 are
situated in London and 135 in the country. These figures
possess a special interest, in view of the fact that the
226 private banks do not publish their reports in the
newspapers, and only 19 of the 118 joint stock banks
have given full statements of their condition to the public.

and if, as is affirmed. Sir Robert Peel intended to follow
up his laws of 1844 and 1845, for the regulation of bank
notes, by further legislation touching the other functions
of the British banking system, the intention was never
put in execution. The consequence is that the banking
statistics of England have never been officially published
in the same detail as is common in the United States
and in some other countries. The subjoined table is
compiled from the report of the Committee, and, taken
together with the estimated statistics we published a

of our future banking conventions,
one which has been attracting a good deal
of public attention, both here and abroad. We refer to
the heavy expense of reserves. Of course they are
worth all they cost, and the burden of keeping them, if
it is an indispensable condition of safe banking, must be
submitted to. Still it is only fair that a hearing should
be given to the objections, and they are very clearly set
forth by a recent committee of the New York ClearingHouse. They say:

currency while money-getting was easy, namely, that it
will answer to leave the governing to a self-chosen class,
and that the cheapest course is to stick closely to business and pay whatever taxes are exacted, is gradually
becoming unlearned under the hard tuition of financial
distress.

RAILROAD EARNINGS IN JUNE, AND FROM JAN.

1

TO JONE

30.

Railroad earnings for llio month of June generally compare
well with those for the same month of 1875. It is well known
that the opening of Lake and canal navigation, and the competition

among

ou freights eastward from Chicago, reduced
the priceg of grain tranoportatiou to figures unprecedented ly low,
and stimulated a large grain movement at the West. This had
rai.'roads

the effect of increasing the freight business of the principal
grain carrying reads and adding considerably to their earnings.

The most important
fluences of the grain

feature of the month, aside from the in-

movement

just noticed,

was the continu-

ance of the railroad " war" between the trunk lines to the West,
with remarkably low figures on both freights and passenger
fares.
Mr. Jewett, Receiver of the Erie Railway, sailed for
Europe to negotiate in regard to the company's financial affairs,
and, BO far as known, there is yet no immediate prospect of a restoration of fair rates on through business,
In view of the reduction in rates,

which

affected

June and part of May, the Lake

Shore statement of its six months' business is certainly one of the
most remarkable railroad exUibits ever issued.
The gross
earnings for six months are given as $81,000 more than the same
time in 1875, and the operating expenses as $873,000 less than
1875. Now as the year 1875 was a period of stringent economy, if
this enormous saving in exypnses has actually been made in the
•ost of operating, and does not arise from a reduction in supplies
on hand or other outside matter, it is entitled to be considered as
the development of a power of economy in railroad management
surpassing anything that has hitherto been witnessed.
The
statement is too brief in details for any intelligent comment to be
made upon it, but taken aa it stands, the remarks just made
appear to be merited.
The improved railroad traffic for the first
half of the year 1870, in which net earnings also have generally
shown a proportionally larger increase than gross, ha3 been one
of the most encouraging features of business.
While it is much
to be hoped and there are many reasons to encourage the hope
that the last half of the current year will also show good railroad
receipts, we are unable to anticipate that in the volume of produce

1870 will show a correspondingly large
increase over the same period of 1875, as has been shown in the

Under Ottoman rule the Christian population of the Turkish

iuprovement of £3,535,000. The position
of the Bank is a strong one, and the probability still is that there
will be a continuance of ease, unless the difficulties which exist
between Turkey and Sarrla should lead to more serious complications. The Foreign Secretary has already admitted that he
fails to perceive how war between Turkey and her Christian
subjects is to be averted, and it is natural to conclude that the
public mind will remain in an uneasy state as long as there are
80 many jealousies respecting the acquisition of Turkey, and as
long as there is discontent in that piirt of the European Oontlnent. It is well known that England has been making vast
preparations. Har citadels in the Mediterranean have of lata
received large supplies of war material and provisions. The
fleet has baen strengthened to a vary important extent, and great
exertions are being made to complete several of our most formidable ironclads. The present Government, undoubtedly, are
somewhat uneasy as to the resuli: of the perplexing condition of
affairs in the " Eist ;" and, judging from the preparations which
have been made, are not forgetful of the fact that even the difficulty between the Ottoman Government and Servia may lead to
one of the most serious wars if not the most serious war of

market and Financial Sltnatlon. The

week bos presented the characteriatic dulaess of a midsuraraer
period.
A large number of business men are usually absent from
the city at this time of year, and tlie number has been considera- the
bly increaso-I of late by the extreme heat of tlie weather. Tlie
prevailing quiet of tixe financial markets has been unbroken by a
single event of more tlian ordinary interest, and the volume of
transactions at the Stock Exchange has been moderate. Tliere
is little talk now of any important financial measures being
passed l)y the present Congress, as tlie appropriation bills and
other pressing matters will engross their attention during the
balance of the session, and the two Houses are so little in harmony that their agreement upon any financial bill is liighly
improbable as an element alTecting the markets, therefore,
prospective legislation has little present influence.
Our local money market has returned to its condition of extreme ease with the disbursements following the first of the
montli, and the rates for call loans are freely quoted at U(a2J
per cent, while strictly prime commercial paper has sold as low
as 3 per cent, and a fair quotation for really prime paper of short
date is 3i@4i per cent. In Chicago we notice a Cook County
loan for four months taken at d.SSJ. a low rate for that locality.
On Thursday, the Bank of England weekly report showed a
gain of i'780,000 in specie, and tlio discount rate remained
unchanged at 2 per cent. The Bank of France showed a decline
for tlic week of 11,011,003 franca in specie.
The last statement of the New York City Clearing-House banks,
issued July 8, jhowed an increase of $3,049,375 in the excess
above their 25 per cent legal reserve, the whole of bucJi excesB
being 121,105,775, against $19,056,400 the previous week.

week and a comparison with 1875 and 1874

Cnlted States Bond»._There has been a

brisk

demand

for

governments tliis week, and except for the weakness in gold,
prices would probal)ly l)e higher than they are.
Among the
purchasers have been many private investors and parties who
have balances which have been for boiub time lying in b»nk
withont interest.
Some of tlie largecorporations have also been
noticed as purchasers of one or two lieavy lots of bonds, and there
is considerable scarcity in the floating supply on the market, so
that it is difficult to get together a lot of $500,003 or upwards to
fill an order.

— The

stock market

has been dull in the absence of many operators from the city.
Prices have generally been tolerably steady, as there has been
little of importance to affect their movement, either in the way of
speculative transactions or of matters relaiiog to the actual value
of the stocks. The injunction restraining the payment of the
dividend on Western Union stock was to day modified by Judeo

stock was influenced but little liy the injunction, os such proceedings against companies ivhose stocks are active at the Board have
become so frequent as to bo looked upon with contempt in " the
street," where they are almost always regarded with distrust.
Railroad earnings, as reported on another page for the month of
June and first s:x months of present year, present a favorable
exhibit. Central of N'ew Jersey has lately been rather stronger,
and it iti announced that the company has negotiated the balance

Alabama & Chattanooga.— Hassler'a Financial Report of July
7 says "Bondholdars of this road were allowed to participate in
its purchase up to tlie 15th cf June.
A statement from the trustees informs us that bonds amounting, with the overdue interest
upon them, to about $5,500,000, have united.
" The trustees have made a caref al inventory of the property
and find the total value to be $3,108,990 04.
" Under the orJer of the United States Circuit Court, the forecloEure of this road has been a little out of the usual course, and
:

embraces an immense amount of litigation.
" The State guarantee was an important factor, and one which
for, if
it was very difHcult to place in its exact proper position
by uniting in the purchase the bondholders did release the State
(worth
probably
from its obligation

will be for many years to come), some might hesita;e as to what
they should do for their best interest.
" The Council of Foreign Bondholders, of London, represented
a large constituency, and it was Pnally agreed lliat the State
should be released from its guaranty upon its issuing $1,000,000
new bonds to be distributed to all the holders of the guaranteed

bonds.
" The question

standing bonds

,

however, as to whether all the $5,330,000 outbeen legally issued, or whether only

had

$4,700,000 were so outstanding, complicates the distribution of
these $1,000,000 new State bonds, and it will delay, in all probability, their distribution for

some time

to come.

" But, as these $1,000,000 are to go equally to all the holders
of the State guaranteed bonds, it is evident that those uniting
for the ownership of the property will get, in addition to their
share of these bonds, also some new securities to represent their
interest in the re- organized company.
What these will be must
depend largely upon the action of the Council ot Foreign Bondholders and the Frankfort Committee of Bondholders, who together represent over $3,000,000 of the bonds."

Atlantic Mississippi
Ohio. The receivers have made application to the Court lor leave to borrow money to buy or pay,
as may be deemed best, the coupons on the old divisional bonds
and certain other overdue interest, amounting in all to about
$185,000; the object being to protect the interest of the consolidated bondholders. The Court ordered a hearing on the application to be held July 18, and directed testimony bearing thereon
to be taken by a master meantime.
Bnrlington
Northwestern.— In order to secure the immediate completion of the road to Winfield, the stockholders have
authorized the issue of bonds to an amount not to exceed $5,000
per mile. These bonds are not to be a permanent issue, but are
to be re-paid from the siock subscriptions as fast as they are collected, and no more are to be issued tlinu are absolutely needed.
San Francisco dispatch, dated July 11,
California Pacilic.
says: " Two of the German bondholders of the California Pacific
Railroad, and the directors of the Central Pacific Railroad, have
submitted an agreed case to the Nineteenth Diatrict Court, asking
for a decision, without consideration, as to the validity of the endorsement of the bonds of the California Pacific by the Central
Pacific, to enable the parties to at once take the case on appeal to
the Supreme Court. The Judge rendered a pro forma decision,
holding that the endorsement is valid. The case will at once go
up on appeal. The ol-ject of the procedure is evidently, by a
favorable decision of the Supreme Court, to override tbe decision
of the Fourth District Court in the case of the stockholders
against the directors of tbe Central Paci He, declaring the endorsement invalid, and enjoining payment of interest on the

—A press despatch from London, July 13, gives

the following
At a meeting of the Erie Railway bond and stock holders at the
Cannon Street Hotel, today, Mr. Jewett, receiver of the road,
made a statement ot its condition. He said that the plan of reorganiration submitted by Sir Edward Watkin at the meeting of
the stockholders on June 23 was approved but he asked that one
more coupon be funded, and a few other concessions. He proposed to lay a third rail from New York to BuiTalo, to gradually
wear out the old equipment, and to replace it with a narrow
Cnage equipment. He felt sanguine of the prosperity of the road.
Many speeches followed. Mr. Jewett's statement was well received. Sir Edward Watkin offered a resolution assuring Mr.
Jewett support, and approving the scheme with the modihcationa
desired by the committee.
Sir Edward Watkin's plan, above
mentioned, is as follows: "That without reducing the rate of
interest, bee inning next September, they should fund for a period
of four and a half years the alternate coupons of the first bonds,
paying alteinate coupons in gold, and that they should fund, of
the second bonds, nine half-yearly coupons in a lump."

Western Union Telegraph— President Orion's Affidavit
Dowley Suit.— In the suit of Levi A. Dowley against tbo
Western Union Telegraph Compiny, to prevent payment of Ao
in the

H

quarterly dividend of
per cent, on the loth instant, the motioa
for the injunction was argued on Saturday last in Sapremo
Court, Chambers, before Judge Donohue.
President Orton's afBdavit, presented by the defense, slated that
the dividend is declared out of net earnings. He says that tlio
Western Union Telegraph Company is now in possession of
$506,720, wliich remains after the payment of all expenses of the
business, r.nd after payment of the proportionate share for tkm
period covered by said dividend of all accruing indebtedaeat.
The indebtedness is represented by bonds for $6,499,160, payaUo
at long periods.
Except tbe bonded indebtedness, the compan
Is wholly free from indebtedness, having no floating Indeb t ew
ness. He suggests a doubt whether Dowley is a stockholder ia
law, as no stock apoears in his name on the company's books. It
is not true that there was a deficit oa the 31st December, 1875, ol
the sum of $851,589 93. But it is true, as set forth in the statement, published by the directors at the meeting held Marcb 8,
1870. that there was on the Slst day of December, 18T5, a nominal deficit of 1549,387 93. This nominal deficit was made goo4
cut of the net earnings of January, February and March, 187^
and besides this, and alter providing for interest and sinking fua4
accruing during the same period, there remained a surplus of
$102,49'2 at the commencement of tho quarter embracing April,
Mav and June, for which the dividend of li per cent, waadeNo part of the sum of $302,202, derive*
clafed June 7, 1876.
from the sale of bonds in 1875, has entered into the accounts lac
the months of April, May and June, 1876.
It is not true, the affidavit alleges, that the sum of $125,00i
stated in the report, published by order of the Board of DIraeten
at the meeting held on the 7th day of June, 1878, as a dividead
received on the shares of the International Ocean Telegrapk
Company, belonging to the Western Union Company, was tho
proceeds of the sale or exchange of $499,900 of preferred stock
In said International Ocean Telegraph Company, nor that aa
annual dividend of $75,000, or any other sum, was guarantee*
on said stock, nor that said preferred stock was exchanged for aa
equal amount of common stock, upon which no dividends aio
payable or likely to be paid, and it is not true that there waa »
parting with any assets of the defendant's Company.

can
now (jive a synopsis of the new bond bill. The State will issue
$1,676,000 six per cent, gold bonds, running thirty years, interest
and principal payable in New York, the bonds not to be sold for
less than par, except to meet bonds falling due, and which nearly
all bear ten per cent, interest
but the State is also authorized to
sell the U. S. bonds, consisting of U. S. 5'a $357,550 and U. S.
6's $117,300, and to invest the amount in the new 6's, as well
as $384,280 In cash, all belonging to her permanent school fund.
There is aUo in the treasury, belonging to State University Fund,
$106,C00, which is recommended to be invested also in the new
6'b; therefore, there remains of the new loan of $1,675,000 of C
per cent, gold bonds but about $622,000 to be placed, the State
taking the balance herself.
Under the circumstances, we do
not consider the price of the new O's too high at par yet, in
order that par can be reached, the other bonds have to advance,
and this would make the 7'b worth 116 2 3, which they do not
bring as yet.
Houston & Texas Central R. R. bonds kept on advancing, and
the market closed firm at 9oc. asked.
Galveston Hous'on & Henderson R. R. 7'8 1st are dull at 82 bid and 85 asked. The International Railroad is rapidly advancing towards Austin a large
number of hands and teams are at work all along the line of the
lo&d. The Texas Western Narrow Gauge Railroad is making
steady progress towards the Brazos; this road runs through
Bonr.e of the richest and best settled counties of the Stale
the
prospects for a profitable trofBc are very good indeed.

The reports show generally favorable weathe-, but less so than at the same
time last year. In the lowlands, a laige proportion of the area which was
overflowed has been replanted, while in the uplands, in some places portions
of the crops have been abandoned, owing to sickness among laborers and
mules. The stand is a good avoiago, and the early crop, or first planting, is
forming and blooming well. The late crop, or that planted after the overflow,
is too young for forms and blooms.
The present condition is good, but less
favorable than at this time last year. The hulk of the crop is fully two weeks
late, while that planted on overflowed lands is fully a month behind. The
crop is clean, and with favorable rains, which are much needed, will grow fast.

The weather during the first fortnght of June was unseasonably cold and
generaPy rather wet since the loth, h*jwever, it has been dry and warm, and
on the whole it is reported as favorable to the crop, thongh not to be compared
with the weather of the same time last year. Since the last reports there has
been no increase or decrease in the <iuantity of land planted in cott>n. The
stands are represented as being good. The plant is generally forming well,
and is yni commencing to bloom, its present condition being good, but it is
about ten days Titer compared with last year, as cold nights have checked its
growth and heavy rains have prevented planters from working their crops as
steadily as required. We therefore have more complaints of grass; the plant,
though small and backward, is healthy, aod promises well.

submitted to public competition next week, when sueh a large
influx of buyers may be expected that a stimulus will probably
be given to general trade. The stock of dress goods manufactured by Scheppers Brothers, Philadelphia, was offiered at auction

the leading cities were in the market, whose joint purchase*
of caliooes, bleached cottons, &c., reached a considerable aggregate
amount. With the exception of an advance in print cloths, there
was no material change in values of either domestics or woolens,
