ground for a reasonable presumption, that the outflow is
going to be large enough to produce the result. We
think the Secretary may be taken as a good judge on that
point, and that we may rest with confidence on the belief
that he will watch the effect and
regulate the supply so as
to prevent the evil.
There is a demand for these dollars,
and for the certificates they are
changed into, for payment
of duties. There is also,
although disliked, a capacity for
the absorption throughout the
country of a consider¬
able portion of them for
change; and this is a growing
necessity as the small bills diminish in number. These
being facts, what may we suppose the Secretary’s action
means ?
Congress has left him with a law that requires
the making of an addition of two millions a month to his
hoard. He is losing interest on his silver
accumulations,
and, as we showed some weeks since, his power to
carry a dead reserve is limited. Besides, in this case, its
balk is troublesome—534 cubic feet or

rule, and hence the slackness of the demand
From all parts of the country, the state of trade is
reported as very unsatisfactory, and additional failures have
taken place. Some of these are rather
important, and they
have, consequently, exercised a depressing effect. The weather,
also, has been very unsettled; the crop reports are bad, and the
prices of wheat'have been rising throughout the country, though
by no means rapidly. The best authorities begin to despair
about the agricultural prospect, and all
hopes of an average
crop of cereals have been abandoned. The barley harvest
promises to be exceedingly poor; but it is said that wheat, on
well-farmed and well-drained land, is better than
might have
been expected. During the last few
days, much less rain has
fallen, but the temperature is low and the night air chilly.
Vegetation, therefore, makes slow progress, and although we
are nearly
half-way through July, which has the reputation of
being the hottest month of the year, the crops show no indica¬
tions of approaching
maturity. To-day the weather is again
unsettled, and showeis are falling in various parts of the
country.

Secretary of State for
India has given notice of his
intention to pay off the five
per cent loan at the specified time,
viz., in July next year. The present price is 103 and the
price
of redemption 100.
Notwithstanding that the finances of India
are by no means in. a
flourishing condition, the Government of
India is capable of
borrowing money at a rate of interest not
exceeding 4 per cent. In fact, the four per cent loan is quoted
at 104 to
104^.

Tenders were received at the Bank of
England on Wednesday
for £300,000 in India Council bills. Tenders on

mortgage its road and property. The directors of the
corporation were authorized to issue such bonds as are provided
for by those acts, all bonds to be
approved by the Hon. Alex¬
ander H. Bullock.
It was also voted that the directors be authorized to
mortgage
the'property of the company, and to guarantee such bonds of the
Nashua & Rochester Railroad as
may be issued in lieu of the
bonds of the Nashua & Rochester Railroad, heretofore
guaran¬
teed. The directors held a
meeting directly after the adjourn¬
ment of the stockholders’
meeting, and the preliminary steps
were taken to carry out the
provisions of the votes adopted.
—The stockholders of the Nashua & Rochester road
have
accepted the recent act of the New Hampshire legislature,
authorizing the cancellation of the present bonds and the issue
of new ones, to be secured under the former
mortgage.
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company.—In answer
to some of the criticisms which haye
appeared in print as to the
investments of life insurance companies, Mr. Jacob L.
Greene,
president of this company, has addressed an open letter to
Philip S. Miller, Esq., general agent, in New York. Of the
official reports of this company, Mr. Greene
says :
“
Tlie statements of this
company are absolutely truthful exhibits of
its accounts and of its condition. They show the actual
amount of real
estate it has taken, at its actual cost at date of
title, aud the aotual
amount of uncollected interest; and
everything is called by its true
name.
There are no secret accounts,-no transpositions, no
distributions
of items under various accounts, and no
charging over to nominal hold¬
ers.
To these facts we have the witness of three
auditors, every one an
expert of long standing and well known in this
community as both
capable and honest, -who are elected by the members themselves for the
purpose, and not by the officers or directors, and who work
entirely inde¬
pendent of our control, and continuously during the year. The commis¬
of
sioners
this State, past and present, who are
by law compelled to
make thorough examination of our acounts and condition
once in every
three years, who have already made two such
examinations,
and must,
under the law, make another this year, and the
special commission
appointed by the Legislature two years ago to make examination of all
companies, are all witnesses to these same facts.”
In regard to the matter of foreclosures and real estatepur¬
chased the letter says:
“
In our statement for January
1,1879, the interest ‘ due and accrued’
is stated at $1,751,803 46. Of this
$820,809 34 was interest past due
on real estate loans.
Much of this has been and will be collected in cash
during the year; some will be collected only by foreclosure. In the
same statement is included, at its actual cost
to the company, real estate
owned at various places, taken under
foreclosure, as follows:
Chicago,
$2,694,664 43; St. Louis, $2,221,499 20; Indianapolis, $1,040,834
23;
Detroit, $278,518 13; Kansas City, $83,807 16 ; and a few
scattering
pieces. Some of this
property has since been sold either at or for more
than cost, so that on saies made the company is more than
whole. The
demand for real estate, however, has not
fairly begun since the panic,
and is yet small and weak; and other foreclosures are in
progress, so
that the amount of real estate held will be increased
during the year.
All this is the result of the protracted
depression by which all financial
institutions have been alike affected.
“
The question is, is the company in
danger of losing money on the
real estate which it does now or may hereafter hold ? The first
practical
question
regarding it is its price.
“
The invariable rule of the company lias been to loan not more
than
per cent of the value of property offered as security, as determined
by its own appraisers; in many cases only fifty per cent of the value of
the ground ana forty per cent of the improvements has been loaned.
Carefully selected insurance against fire is taken as collateral. In each
of the cities where loans are made the
company has a financial corres¬
pondent,
assisted by competent persons, to appraise property.
“
2. Our loans are made, and our
property is held at the great centers
of production and commerce of the most fertile, productive
country in
the world; one which is growing constantly and
rapidly in population,
production from soil and mines, manufactures and diversified industries,
in wealth and commercial importance. These
places are the centers of
fifty
great and firmly established railways and waterways.
to the vast
Their relations
country that surrounds them, and their control of its
busi¬
and permanent; and they feel to the full every step in the
development which goes steadily on about them.
“Nor does the experience of these places differ
unfavorably in kind or
degree from that of places east, as Boston or New York, and the terri¬
tory lying around New York, within which the companies of that city
are compelled by law to invest their
money. Every one of these latter
places has suffered by a shrinkage of from 25 to 75 per cent from former
prices. Their debtor class has been very large, the business failures
very numerous, the pressure very severe, the defaults of interest and
sales under foreclosure unprecedented, and the market no better than
ness, are fixed
elsewhere.”

Railroad and
Miscellaneous Stocks.—The
stock market
has been, upon the whole,
decidedly strong. The weight of
speculative influence remains, so far as all appearances go, almost
entirely on the bull side. The money market is extremely easy,
with a good prospect of remaining so for some time to come ; and
whatever may have been the opinions earlier in the
year of a
probable downward move in stocks to begin after the mid-sum¬
mer period, there are
certainly no signs of such a movement as
yet. On the contrary, the railroad stocks most directly affected
by the result of the grain harvest—the Northwests and St.
Pauls—are now among the strongest of the list, and have re¬
cently been further pushed upward, expressly on the strength of
the Western crop reports. The trunk-line stocks have been most
conspicuous of late for the advance in Lake Shore and Michigan
Central here, and in Baltimore & Ohio stock in Baltimore.
These roads have in their favor the undoubted fact of an enor¬
and increasing freight traffic, and their profits depend

It was resolved by more than the
necessary vote to relieve
the Trust Company from the
custody of the securities, the con¬
ditions of the re-oiganization scheme
having been fulfilled by
the Kansas Pacific Railway
Company.
Louisiana State Debt.—The Constitutional Convention at
"New Orleans adopted an ordinance,
July 19, recognizing the
indebtedness of the State to the Mechanics’

recognizing the
ordinance
State’s indebtedness to the Fiscal
Agent as $187,077.
The State debt ordinance was
finally
passed July 21 by a vote
of 72 yeas to 41 nays. It
recognizes the validity of the consoli¬
dated bonds and provides for 2 per cent interest for five

Railroads of the United States.—From the introduction to
the twelfth annual number of the “ Manual of the
Railroads of
the United States,” published
by Messrs. H. V. & H. W. Poor,
of this city, we take the
following :
“
In our present number we are
able, for the first time for
several years, to report a very
decided recovery of the railway
interest of the country from its recent
exceedingly depressed
condition. During the year
ending
December 31, 1878, 2,694
miles of new line were opened, the total
mileage in operation
in the United States at that date
81,841 miles. The con¬
being
struction of these routes has
again been entered upon with
renewed activity and spirit, and is
likely to continue.
“A remarkable feature in the railroad
operations of the
000, in place of $19,045,830, the amount received. The
experi¬
ence and
example of this road may serve as an illustration for
those of the whole
country.
“ The gross earnings of all the roads whose
operations have
been reported have equalled
$490,103,361,
against $472,909,272
for 1877, $497,257,959 for
1876, and $503,065,505 for 1875.
The
general result of the operations of our railroads for the last
eight years is shown in the following statement:”

Friday, P. M., July 25, 1879.
The Movement of the Crop, as indicated
by our telegrams
from the South to-night, is
given below. For the week ending
this evening (July 25), the total

Friday Night,
receipts have reached 3,272
bales, against 2,809 bales last week, 3,032 bales the previous
week, and 3,637 bales three weeks since; making the total
receipts since the 1st of September, 1878, 4,433,653 bales, against
July 25, 1879.
The
opening of trade for tlie autumn season makes fair progress. For some reason the epidemic of yellow fever at Memphis d083 not excite so much alarm as last summer. It seems
f
to be expected that the vigorous measures that are resorted to
will prevent the spread of the disease. All the seaboard towns
continue healthy. The weather has remained [excellent for
harvest work, but in this latitude it is becoming too dry for
vegetation. We have had nothing but light showers for many
weeks, and many water courses are dried up. Still, no great
injury has been done as yet.
In provisions a very good movement in the
aggregate has
been noted; further declines took place, attributed more or
less to the advices regarding yellow fever at the South and to
the burdensome supplies throughout the country.
To-day,
there was an improvement, due to the development of' a specu¬
lative interest; new mess pork was quoted at $9 12}£@$9 25 on
the spot; sales were reported of
August at $9; September at
$9 05@$9 10; and October at $9 15. Lard was^rather quiet at

A
comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate,
as the weeks in different years do not end on the same
day of the

We have consequently added to our other
standing

may con¬

movement for the years named.

English spinners, therefore, hold 25,\000 bales less, and Conti¬
spinners 61,000 bales more, than at this time last year,,
being a net excess of 36,000 bales. The deficit in the visible
supply, as shown by our tables, is 232,000 bales. Deducting
36,000 bales from this figure leaves a net deficit of 196,000 bales.
In the above computations we have taken the
average
weight of American at 450 lbs. per bale for both seasons; but
several of our Continental and American
correspondents give it
as their
experience that the bales are much lighter this season
than last. A similar belief is also current here. It is
agreed,,
however, that the present crop is much cleaner than the
previous one. It is probable, therefore, that the gain in this
respect may be sufficient to counterbalance the loss occasioned
by whatever reduction there may be iiwne average weight of
the
nental
bales.
A short time back there
was a
tendency towards the adoption
exaggerated estimates of consumption for this country; at
present the bias is in exactly the opposite direction. Our
impression is that the rate has never at any time exceeded
of
58,000 bales of 400 lbs. each, and that it is not now less than
52,000 bales per week. In bales of 441 lbs., the average weight
of cotton delivered so far this season, the
present rate of con¬
sumption is about 47,000 bales, against a previous maximum oJT
about 53,000 bales.
PROSPECTS.
Statistically, the position of the market has rather gained
than lost strength during the past month. The deficit in the
visible supply has been considerably reduced ; but this move¬
ment has been entirely at the expense of the stocks held
by
spinners and at the interior depots. For the remaining thirteen
receipt weeks of the season we estimate the movement for Liverpool as
July 9, and make follows.
The receipts at the American ports between the end of June

the same as last year. There will therefore remain
85,000
bales for shipment to Liverpool, against 53,000 last
season,
making, with the cotton afloat (51,000 bales), a
supply of 136,000‘bales.
Last year the cotton afloat at the end of June was
84,000 bales, the subsequent shipments to the end of
August
53,000 bales, making a total of 137,000 bales. The

was 151,000 bales; the arrivals this
year will therefore be about
the same, let us
say 150,000 bales. The cotton afloat from
India for Liverpool at the end of June last
year was 114,000
bales; the import thence to the end of
September
was 98,000
bales. The cotton afloat this
year is 106,000 bales; the

is, therefore, not likely to exceed 90,000 bales. The
import from
sundry sources last year was 36,000 bales ; it will not exceed
40,000 bales this year.

making no allowance for any discrepancy of this kind this
year,
there is a deficit of 145,000
bales, besides the reduction of 25,000
bales in stocks held by
spinners, making a total deficit of 170,000
bales. To leave the stocks at the end of
September the same as
last year, the deliveries to
spinners must be reduced from
error
an
average of 48,100 bales per week to one of 35,100 bales
per
week.
Supposing the error in stock to be only 26,000 bales,
then the deliveries will have to be cut
down to 33,100 bales, to
leave the stock the same as last
year.
We leave these figures
to speak for
themselves, merely observing that any violent
upward movement will be checked by the
approach of the new
crop, especially if the accounts continue favorable.

The articles we shall quote at present will be
