Up to this time the tonnage of that road has been insignificant
owing, possibly, to some extent to the want of rolling stock, but'
mainly because of the great length of haul so that the Maryland lines have been the cheapest, and possibly no serious competition could for any great length of time be maintained by

now operated.
But the Pennsylvania Railroad Company owns and controls the
canals leading up the Juniata, and have for some years been
making extensive improvements by enlarging them, and it is now
proposed and recommended by their accomplislied engineer to
spend only one million dollars more, which would complete their
enlarged canal and slack water up the Juniata river to some point
within 80 miles of our mines.
Then with a railroad of only SO.miles, and a canal of sufficient
capacity for section boats of 300 tons passing through to Philadelphia and New York, they claim that a large portion of the
tonnage of this canal, as well as the Baltimore and Ohio Railri^ad,
must be diverted.
The report suggests the following improvements as necessary
to retain the trade of the canal
First To restore gradually the water-way of the canal to its
original dimensions, so that with the present locks, the tonnage
of boats should be increased from 109 to 120 tons.
Second To control the amount of terminal charges.
Third And if poscible, secure such a control as would enable
us to fix and maintain a uniform rate of freight charges.
Fourth Enlarge tlie locks of the canal so as to increase the
capacity of the boats to two hundred and fifty tons.
The estimated cost of this last mentioned improvement is
$81,200, and the report recommends that it be begun during the
suspension of navigation next winter.

In addition to these shipments tnere was transported on the

for the year, 836,392 tons, being an actual increase as compared
with 1873, of 38,787 tons.
THE BONDED DEBT
of the company, represented by the " preferred construction
bonds," which, under the decision of the Court of Appeals, have
priority over the State loan, amounts to $1,699,500

total, principal and interest, $3,070,095.
Which amount of overdue interest, togetlier with the accruing interest of $104,970 each
year, must he paid before the State of Maryland can receive any
direct benefit froiu her investment, in this work.

COMPETITION.
The
report discusses the railroad cotnpetition for the transportation of coal, and informs the stockholders that they must
consent to the making of such improvements in the canal as will
reduce the cost of running the boats to a minimum. On this
subject it says
When this canal was completed in 1850, it was not supposed
that a ton of coal could be profitably moved by rail for less than
two cents per ton per mile, whereas it is now transported from
Cumberland to Baltimore for a fraction over one cent per ton per
mile.
It is true that during the same time reductions have been made
in tolls and wharf charges by the canal, so that a proper difference has always been maintained iu its favor. But further im
provements are being rapidly pushed forward by other transportation companies, which, when completed, may, and probably will,
require further reductions on our part. Up to this timrt the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad has been our only formidable competitor.
1875;
At
St.
Paul, in the State of Minnesota,
shipping to Northern ports, will make it absolutely necessary
that a corresponding reduction in cost and improved facilities
shall be furnished by this Company.
Within tlie past four years another competing line has been
constructed to the coal fields, which is owned and controlled by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the very able and astute
managers of which recognize the great value and importance of
securing the transportation of a large portion of the uroducts of
the Maryland mines, and thus divert it from Baltimore and
for
Georgetown
to Philadelphia and Amboy.
end they have constructed a railroad, via Broad Top, to
the Maryland State line, at which point they connect with the
Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad, which passes through
our entire coal basin, thus affording an all-rail route to Philadelphia, South Amboy and Jersey City,

a further important
decline, having touched 111} today as the lowest point 'of the
week, closing at 113f The principal feature in gold appears to
be the absence of speculative support, and it is possible that the
decline in price has also been assisted by sales on short account,
f'ertaiuly, the purchases to cover short sales have been one principal cause of the temporary reactions in price, and the spasmodic
advances of a fraction which have taken place from day to day.
It is generally thouglit that the dtcline in gold has been too
rapid, as the extreme decline- has reached about 5i per cent., and
it is also seen more clearly than heretofore, that the influences
which carried the premium up to 117^ were more largely speculative tlian had generally been supposed.
At the Treasury sale of |1,(X)0,000 on Thursday the total bids
amounted to $3,625j000. On gold loans the rates to-day were 1,
2 and 3 per cent, for borrowing, flat, and 3 per cent, for carrying.
Custom receipts of the week have been $3,147,000.

Forelsn Excbanse. For the first time in several weeks
there has been a reduction in the banker.'*' rates for foreign
exchange. Tlie better supply of commercial bills arisinsj from
grain Bliipments, and the very easy condition of monetary
affairs in London, have both contributed to make rates easier.
It
is remarked among exchange deiilers that a supply of grain bills
generally seems to have more effect on our market than would
the same amount of exchange coming from any other source,
tliough the particular reason for this is not definitely accounted
To-day the rates on actual business were about 4.86j*4.86i
for.
for 60 days' sterling and 4.89 for short sight.

CAPACITY OF THE ERIE CANAL.
The capacity is measured by the number of lockages that can
be made in any given time. The average time c.iusumed at each
lock during the season of 1874 by the Baxter steamboat was five
minutes. This would give 288 lockages each way every 24 bours
or for the season (310 days), 60,430 lockages each way, which, at
200 tons (minimum) each, gives a tonnage capacity each way of
This may be considered its maximum capacity.
each lock, with same cargo, makes its tonnage
capacity each way for the season 6,048,000 tons, which may be
taken as its minimum capacity.
The tonnage arriving at tide-water by way of the Erie Canal
has been as follows

Lonis.— At a meeting uf the
Nev Albany &
LonlsTille
St.
directors recently, it was resolved to oppose tlie foreclosure proceediogs, but to ofier no resistance to the appoiutment of a receiver,
or to any action of the lx>ndliolderB looking towards the completion
o( tho roaJ.
Missouri Kansas & Texas.— The Railroad Oaeette says Our
Amsterdam corrcspondunt writes, under date of June 27:
% " The ini)8t important fact of tlie week was the advertisement
of the committee of the Missouri Kansas & Texas railway company
:
that a meetin^r will be held, July 36, for considering the proposals for an af^reement to obviate a foreclosure. The proposals
are not yet published by the committee, but I can tell you what
the principal conditions are. The hypothecated Boonville Bridge
and Fort Smith bonds to be accepted by the bondholders in payment of their dues. Thus the first mort^jage bonds will be
increased by this amount, and the floating debt diminished in
proportion to the price at which they are accepted in payment.
For the balance, income bonds will be given to the floating debt
creditors.
The wndilions of the management will be embraced
in the second mortgage instrument. The first mortgage bonds
(the committee means the Missouri Kansas & Texas bonds, though
they are a subordinate lien so far as there are outstanding bonds of
the Union Pacific Southern Branch), will have their coupons, due
in 1S74 and 1873, paid in second mortgage income bonds, bearing
6 per cent currency interest, after the payment of the first mortgage coupons, or such smaller interest as the surplus will be
sufficient to make up
from 1876 to 1878 the company promises 4
per cent gold, and 3 per cent in these income bond-s from 187S to
1881, 5 per cent gold, and 2 per cent income bonds in 1882, and
;
;
;
thereafter, full gold interest. Three-fourths of both the Union
Texas loans
Pacific Southern Branch and the Missouri Kansas
were sold here, and nearly all the former, so we have the right to
look sharp and make our own conditions. The company failed to
&
carry out the former arrangement, and now, when the earnings
are decreasing, the company promises more. * * * What we
want is Holland trustees, Holland directors, or since the Americans oppose this as long as possible, a Hollander as agent or
commissioner, appointed and paid by the Holland bondholdors,
and not removable by the company."
Mew
Jersey Midland.— The plan of reorganization recently
proposed provided for the formation of a
new company which
shall issue securities as follows
1. First mortgage bonds to the amount of $800,000, to be used
to pay off arrears of wages and loans ; to pay rentals due and receiver's certificates to buy new equipment aud to complete the
road to the Hudson River.
2. Genera! mortgage bonds to the amount of $4,500,000, of
which $.3,700,000 sliall be exchanged for the present first mortgage bonds and unpaid coupons, and $800,000 to exchange hereafter for the first mortgage bonds provided for in Section 1.

Seven per cent, currency, 1870, due June, 1875.
Consolidated gold, general series, due January, 1875.
Carrollton, due November, 1874.
The report and the ordinance were both adopted unanimously.
The Picayune says of this " The proposition that the present
city administration has reduced the bonded debt of the city
$618,599, means, strictly interpreted, that the revenues of the
wharves for five years have been exchanged for that sum. The
average yearly income from the wharves may safely be estimated
at $275,000.
For five years it would agrgregate $1,375,000.
City
Surveyor Hardee has shown that $100,000 only w^re required to
complete the repairs of the wharves but suppose we double that
amount, in order to be quite sure. Then, with allowance of ten
per cent, for the expense of collecting the revenues, which is just
twice as much as it ought to cost, we have the following exhibit
:
;
Five years' revenues

4. Second preferred 7 per cent, stock to be exchanged for the
consolidated bonds and unpaid coupons.
5. Common stock (not to exceed $1,400,000) to be exchanged
for the present stock.
6. Holders of mortgage bonds to have one vote for each $100
until interest has been paid in cash for three years.
7. Parlies receiving new stock to pay an assessment of $2 per
$1,0(X), *o meet expenses of reorganization.
Objections have been urged against this plan, and some of the
first mortgage bondholders, at a meeting last week, directed their
chairman to appoint a committee to prepare a plan for foreclosure
and reorganization. Mr. Ely announces the following crenttemen
as such committee
D. B. Halstead, President New York Rxchange Bank F. Leland, President New York County Bank J.
Wyman Jones, President Bondholders' Association; John J.

retrenchment displayed on paper at the last meeting of the
Council were of a kind with this $618,599 diminution of the
bonded debt, the public might have reason to pray for protection
against further economy. We do not, however, pretend that
such'isthe case. There has been undoubtedly a saving in the current expenses and some contraction of the floating indebtedness."
New York City Yalnation and Tax Rate.— The Board of
Supervisors met this week for the purpose of fixing the rate of
taxation for the ensuing year. The Committee on Finance made
a report from which we extract
The assessed value of real estate was, in 1874, $881,547,995 in
1875, $383,643,545. The assessed value of personal estate was, in
1874, $272,481,181; in 1875, $217,300,154— in other words, the
assessments on real estate are $2,095,550 higher, and the assessments on personal estate $55,181,027 lower in 1875 than in the
preceding year, making the total valuation for 1875 $1,100,993,699,
against $1,154,029,176 in 1874. The falling off in valuation to the
amount given was caused by purging the rolls of all assessments
which were found by the Commissioners of Taxes and Assessments
uncollected, and to all appearances, uncollectible. Thus by a
recurrence to said rolls, it will be fo«nd that in 1872 the uncollected tax was $1,487,706 49, representing $51,283,523 in 1873,
$1,099,634 14, representing $43,985,360 and in 1874, $1,041,560,
representing $37,198,557 of the total assessed value. For this
assessed value, representing the uncollected city taxes, the City,
during the last ten years, from 1865 to 1874 inclusive, has had to
pay to the State in taxes $1,900,000. This unreasonable burden
caused by the retention on the rolls of unproductive values, the
Tax Commissioners have very properly wiped out to an
extent warranted by past experience. An additional amount of
personal property heretofore assessed has likewise been stricken
from the roll, in consequence of judicial decisions. From the late
report of the Tax Commissioners the specified cases can be learned.
Owing to this large amount of uncollected taxes an annual
deficiency has been caused, for which provision in the next following tax levy had to be made, adding in that proportion to the
For the last five years this

were at all liberal. Tbe necessary amoaot of money was offered
to the Comptroller at seven and a quarter per cent, per annum,
bat la making a loan of $600,000 he was reauired 10 deposit aa
ediaieral security the sum of $850,000 in the bonds ot tlie Suto.
Be eonld not cmmpiy with tliis requirement for tbe reason that he
waa not provided with tbe secnritiea demanded. It is true, aa
you aujrgcat, that tbe power to negotlato a loan has been granted
to the MmptruHer, but be cannot exercise it ro long as banks and

The
Agricultural Bureau has published a very favorable report
of the growing crop, but it has latterly been neutralized by damage from floods and storms.
The past week has been one of considerable activity in ocean
freights, and grain room has shown a material advance, charter
room especially vessels suitable to the petroleum trade also
have been held at decidedly higher rates, the main stimulants
being higher breadstuffs abroad and the reduced supply of tonnage in port. Late engagements and charters include: Grain to
Liverpool by steam, 7f@8d., provisions at 35@453., cotton at id.;
flour by sail, 2s. 3il.; grain to London by sail, lOd., and^flour at

In refined petroleum only a small business has been done, but as
exporters show some disposition to take hold, quotations remain

week opened with rather moro stsadlneas for spot
ceUoa, b«t the demand proved limited, and on Tnesday and
WedaMday qnolaiioaa Were reduced ^. each day. This decline,
paat
altbeagh aeeonpanied by a reduction in the prifrium on gold,
a more active spinning demand and a fair bus!aeaa ft>r etport.
Yeatorday, there waa a steadier fooling, but the
shippers wlthdrrw from the market, and the business rmbraeed
only a few hundred bales for home consumption. Tu-day, the
market waa Armor, bat not quotably higher, with a fair buainess
for eoasaaiptlon. For future delivery the feeling has been fever.
During
lab, the flaetuationa frequent, and the tone variable.
8atBrday, and early oa Monday, there was a persistent attempt
on the part of local operators, not only to check the decline, but
to yiiwinia a rise ia the next wintrr and spring months. This
acw Borsoeat waa based on the danger of a flood in the Missia'
Ippt, report of vermin and exoeeslva rains frim various quar*
tors and prolonged drought in others, aad the belief that the
wont bad been witaeaaed in Uverponl and Mssehester. But on
Tusaday, Liverpool reported a partial decline, aad the premium
on gold took a downward tarn, which, with good reports from
the etop. quite demorali/>^l the market for the oiouiont. On
Wedaeaday, however, tlinre was a renewed movement for a rise,
bat the aioat a<nive baying, which swelled the busincKs of the
il'T tlJMIIi^l"" 58^800 balee, was not sntHclent to establish an
advaoee ; on the eoatiarr. a decline waa recorded. Vesterday,
with gold more steadr,and moreassuring advices from Liverpool,
this, however, was not fully mainthere was a small advanre
tained at the close. The irregalarity of th« market will be seen
by tho eomparison o< the closing prices of Wednesdar with those
of the Saturday. The early months were |<47-l(to. lower, while
the later months had l«ll.-o off only 3-16taic. Tho speculation
for a riae his derived confidence froai the belief that any change
in the state ot trade muft bf< for the l>elter, and in crop accounts
for the worse perhaps we shall have both tn^^ther, and In that
caseaome teeoverr in prir>^. it Is tliou^bt. will pretty surely take
place. To-day. the market again op.ined buoyant on stronger
Uverpool advices, but, aa on yesterday, developed weakness as
the day advanord, and only a slight Improvement waa esUbllahed.

market baa continued active, excited and buoyant,
and last night prices had advanced over the quotations of the
previous Friday fully 50@78c, per bbl., with large sales of the
regular shipping extras, State and Western at $6, $6 25 and $6 50
per bbl. on the spot and for August arrival, but an advance yesterday to $6 75 checked the demand. The movement has been
mainly speculative, stimulated by the wet weather in England.
But to-day the improvement of yesterday was almost wholly lost,
and the close was flat.
The wheat market has also. been the scene of great excitement
and activity. The business of the week may be set down at fully
three million bushels. The prolonged rains in England have
stimulated an active export and speculation, and at the close last
evening prices bad advanced 10@12c. over the previous Friday,
although on Saturday prices fell off 2@3c. The higher prices have
stimulated the deliveries at the Western markets, and the new
crap continues to make a satisfactory progress. The break in the
canal at Palmyra has been repaired, and boats began moving eastward^on Wednesday. It was estimated officially, yesterday, that
there are 4,000,000 bushels of wheat afloat on the lakes and
canals destined for this market, nearly or quite all of which will
arrive in August. To-day, there was a decline of 2@3c per bushel,
with sales for the first half of August at |1 36@1 36i for No. 3
Chicago, and |1 40@1 41 for Ko. 2 Milwaukee, with amber winter
going at |1 48,
