healthy competition is always desirable and should
be encouraged. It prevents monopolies which are destructive to the
general prosperity. We know that the water route Is practically cheaper
than any other, and during the season of navigation at least assures
cheap transportation without discrimination, and compels reasonable
rates by rail to those who employ it. The consolidated capital of the
railroads is enormous, and the control thereof vested in few hands. The
equipments of the water routes are owned by Individuals among whom
there is no consolidation of interests, and it is easy to see they are
entirely at the ineroy of the railroads. A competition which renders
the employment of these equipments unprofitable tends only to one result
—their absolute abandonment and destruction. Such a result, all must
concede, would be a national misfortune. The necessity for some remedy
for existing evils is apparent. The active support of the canals would
be a notice to the railways that the State was in earnest in the interests
of cheap transportation and might have an Influence on their policy.
If, however, they are determined to break down the water route, and
thus remove the only obstacle to higher freights, they will continue the
•war until the canals cease to be used for want of boats and equipments.
Other State legislation with a view of protection might embarrass our
own roads to the benefit of others. Congress might interfere and protect the water route in the interests of commerce should the facilitl es
which It affords be considered of national Importance and worthy of
national protection and care."

was to be chargeable, restricted in rate and rates on
the road direct were to be restricted. Figuratively
speaking, the idea was to tow boats by strong horses,
and also to put loads on the horses' backs. The engine,
which in the boat must usurp the space of freight,
would thus itself carry freight ; there would be no

for £3,000,000 in four per cent bonds, to be repaid on the 1st of
British IndiaNovember, 1908. The objects of the loan are: The repayment

Bengal
which the greater part fall due in the course of the current

The Government

Trunk Railway, which was authorized by Parliament in its last
session; and the prosecution and completion of other public
works of the Dominion now in progress. The principal of the
fiscal year,

tion;

loan now offered is to be repaid in London in 29 years. A
cumulative sinking fund of not less than % per cent per annum
will be employed in the purchase of Dominion four per cent
bonds or stock at below par, the Government reserving the
right to invest the sinking fund in other securities, should the
price be above par.
The Secretary of State for India has given notice of his
intention to pay off the Ave 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 cen*-. In fact, the four per cent loan is quoted
at 104 to 104^.
The Colonial Bank of New Zealand invites tenders for 500
debentures of £100 each, which are to bear interest at six per cent
per annum from the 30th of June last. They are to be redeemed
at the expiration of 35 years. The minimum price at which
tenders will be received is 95. The money is required by the
Bluff Harbor Board, Invergargill District.
Tenders were received at the Bank of England on Wednesday
for £300,000 in India Council bills. Tenders on Calcutta and
Bombay at Is. 7 13-16d. received about 7 per cent. A falling
off in the demand for the means of remittance to the East is
therefore apparent.

immediate construction of the road. The proposed route has
been surveyed, and work will be begun at once. The road will
be built at the joint expense of the three companies, and will be
operated under a management selected by them. Two directors will be chosen by each company, and these will select a
seventh member, completing the organization of the board.
Worcester & Nashua. The stockholders have voted to accept
the acts of the legislatures of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, authorizing the Worcester ^& Nashua Railroad Company
to 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. Alexander H. Bullock.
It was also voted that the directors be authorized to mortgage
thejproperty 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 guaranteed. 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 have 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
" The statements of this company are absolutely truthful exhibits Of
its accounts and of its condition. They show the aotual amount of real
estate it has taken, at its actual cost at date of title, and the actual
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 holders. 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 independent of our control, and continuously during the year. The commissioners of 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 those sanio facts/'

In regard to the matter of foreclosures and real estate purchased the letter says
" In our statement for January 1, 1879, the interest due and accrued'
Of this $820,809 34 was interest past due
is stated at $1,751,803 46.
on real estate loans. Much of this has been and will be collected in cash
during the year; some will bo collected only by foreclosure. In tho
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 sales 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 J The first practical
question regarding it is its price.
" The invariable rule of the company has been to loan not more than
fifty 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 and 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 correspondent, 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 tho 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
great and firmly established railways and waterways. Their relations
to the vast country that surrounds them, and their control of its business, are fixed 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 territory lying around New York, within which the companies of that city
arc 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

Wabash.—Negotiations had been pending for some time
between representatives of the Great Western and Grand Trunk
Railroads of Canada, the Wabash Railroad and Wm. H. Vanderbilt, in regard to the joint and independent use of the
Detroit Monroe & Toledo road, owned by the Lake Shore Company. On Wednesday, July 16, an agreement was submitted
to Mr. Vanderbilt for his approval. The Tribune reports that
it provided for the independent use by the four companies
of
the road between Toledo and Detroit. For this use the companies were to pay to the Lake Shore road a rental of 7 per cent
on an appraised valuation of the road. On Thursday, 24th
instant, the parties failed to agree, as Mr. Vanderbilt insisted
on a valuation much above what the others would accept. It
is understood that the Great Western, Wabash and
Grand
Trunk Companies have agreed to build an independent line
from Toledo to Detroit, and that an agreement has been signed

Every policy-holder in the Connecticut Mutual should read

—The attention of the cotton interest is called to the card of
Messrs. Dennis Perkins & Co., 117 Pearl street, New York. This
firm is one of the oldest add best-known houses in the trade,
having been established for about a quarter of a century,
besides being the successors of a firm in the dry goods and cotton
trade established in 1825, when Pearl street was the great dry
goods mart of this city. The firm has recently taken up large
and commodious quarters, and are amply prepared to execute
promptly orders for spot cotton and futures.
—The attention of investors is called to the 7 per cent 30-year
Railway
first mortgage bonds of the Jersey City & Albany
Company. These bonds cover the part of the road from Jersey
City to Haverstraw, at the rate of $4,000 per mile, and are
offered at par and accrued interest by Messrs. Wm. B. Hatch &
Co., bankers, 25 Pine street, New York.
Parties desiring to purchase railroad bonds as an investment will find a special list in the card of Mr. Charles T. Wing,

money market and Financial Situation. — The
.">

current of financial affairs is unruffled by any important disturbing influence, and the country rejoices that the Qovernment
funding operations have come to a successful termination. Ever
since the commencement of those negotiations the possible action
of the Secretary of the Treasury has been from time to time a
most powerful influence to be considered in forming any opinion
of the future course of the money mark«t or the prices of securities
and yet it has been impossible to predict what course the
Secretary would pursue, as even he himself has not known
beforehand, but has necessarily been guided by the course of
events as they transpired. In a word, the Government operations have kept an element of uncertainty hanging over the
markets, which has now been removed to their no small advan;

tage.

The money market is abundantly supplied with loanable
funds, which are placed with difficulty at the low rates prevailing.
On call loans the rates have generally been 1^@3 per cent,
according to the collaterals, and on prime paper 3@4} per cent,
according to the time to run, from two to four months.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a loss for the week of £45,000 in specie, and the percentage of
reserve to liabilities was 55$ per cent, against 55J last week.
The discount rate remains at 2 per cent.
The last statement of the New York City Clearing-House banks,
Issued July 19, showed a decrease of $459,175 in the excess
above their 25 per cent legal reserve, the whole of such excess
being $10,492,025, against $10,941,200 the previous week.

and a comparison with the two preceding years.

— The

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-summer 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 recently 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;

State and Railroad Bond*.— In State bonds the Louisianas
have declined below 37 on the unfavorable outlook in the State,
but recovered slightly and closed 10-day at 38. The new North
Carolina bonds sell moderately and are purchased by parties
within the State. On the 7th of August the people of Tennessee
will vote on the debt compromise question.
Kailroad bonds are generally strong and active. The prices of
all Investment bonds keep up to the highest point, and there
has also been renewed activity in some of the bonds dealt In more
heavily, and presumably on speculative account.
Among the
latter, Rome Watertown & Ogdensburg consols have been most
conspicuous, selling to-day up to 64}; Lehigh & Wilkesbarre

the interest tax at three mills, with limitation to six mills for all
State purposes; gives bondholders the option of exchanging
consolidated bonds at seventy-five cents on the dollar for new

remitted to the State, and that all interest fund money then on
hand shall go to a general fund for defraying the expenses of
the State. These articles and provisions shall not go into the
constitution unless voted for by a majority at an election to be
held for the ratification or rejection of the constitution.

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 being 81,841 miles. The construction 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
country for several years past has been the enormously-increased
tonnage in the face of a large falling off of earnings. The
decline in earnings has been due to very great reductions in
charges for transportation. Within the last decade the tonnage
traffic of our railroads longest in operation has been fully
doubled, while there has been only an inconsiderable increase in
earnings from this source. Since 1873, the year in which the
earnings of our railroads reached their maximum, the increase
of their tonnage has equalled fifty per cent, although the
period has been one of unexampled business depression. A
reference to the statements of the several roads will show that
at the very time at which there has been the greatest complaint
of hard times the movement of merchandise has steadily and
largely increased. The tonnage of the New York Central & Hudson River R. R. in 1867 equalled 3,190,840 tons ; «in 1873, 4,393,955 tons, and in 1878, 8,175,535 tons. The earnings from freight
on this road in 1867 equalled $14,066,386, in 1873, $19,616,017
and in 1878, $19,045,830. The tonnage for the past five years
increased over eighty-six per cent, while the earnings were
slightly reduced. The rate for the transportation of freight
in
1873 equalled 1-572 cents per ton ; in 1878, 0-910 of a cent per
ton per mile. The vast increase of tonnage on this and other
roads for the past five years is a most encouraging feature as
with a revival of general prosperity which is showing itself on
every hand, the railroads will themselves start upon a new
career, with an ample tonnage traffic, the rates on which
are
only to be slightly increased to add enormously to their net
earnings. Had the rates of 1873 on the New York
Central &
Hudson River Railroad been maintained, the earnings of that
road, the past year, from freight, would have equalled
$31,000 -

St. Louis & Southeastern.— Pursuant to an order of the
United States Court, entered June 7, in the case of Opdyke &
Calhoun and others against the St. Louis & Southeastern Railroad Company, the Kentucky division of that road was sold at
Louisville, July 19, by St. John Boyle, Commissioner.
After
disposing of the rolling stock, lands, &c, to the Louisville
Nashville & Great Southern Railroad Company, the road was

sold to the same company for $1,000,000. The total amount
paid for the property was $1,056,630. Nineteen-twentieths of
the bonds of the road are said to be held by the Louisville

&

Nashville

Company.

Southern of Long Island— The Southern Railroad of Long
Island was sold in June under foreclosure of the second mortgage, (the sale did not include the branch lines of the road),,
and this week another sale of the road in Jamaica, L. I.,.
was made on the first mortgage of $500,000, with interest from
March, 1877. The purchaser was Egisto P. Fabbri, of the fiim
of Drexel, Morgan & Co., the price being $125,000. This purchase, it is understood, is in the interest of the holders of the
two issues of the bonds, under the arrangement which was
agreed upon last winter.

Utah Northern. This road was finished July 3 to Camas,
Idaho, 38 miles north of Eagle Rock and 244 miles north of

and mineral region is now easy of access in northern Idaho,
while the groat Salmon river district is only from 125 to 150
miles distant on the west. Virginia City, Butt, Deer Lodge,

Receipts from the Plantations.— The following table

than another, at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following:

The above statement shows
1. That the total receipts from the plantations since Sept. 1 in
1878-9 were 4,444,765 bales; in 1877-8 were 4,252,464 bales: in
1876-7 were 3,939,000 bales.
2. That although the receipts at the out ports the past week
were 3,272 bales, the actual movement from plantations was
only 2,154 bales, the balance being drawn from stocks at the
interior ports.
Last year the receipts from the plantations for
the same week were 1,119 bales, and for 1877 they were 681 bales.

English spinners, therefore, hold 25,000 bales less, and Continental spinners 01,000 bales more, than at this time last year,
being a net excess of 30,000 bales. The deficit in the visible
supply, as shown by our tables, is 232,000 bales. Deducting
30,000 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 in the average weight of
the bales.
A short time back there was a tendency towards the adoption
of 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
58,000 bales «-f 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 consumption is about 47,000 bales, against a previous maximum of
about 53,000 bales.
PROSPECTS.

than lost strength during the past month. The deficit in the

The error in stock the year before last was 35,000 bales, But
making no allowance for any discrepancy of this kind this Mar,
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 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

India for Liverpool at the end of June last year was 114,000

is, therefore, not likely to exceed 90,000 bales. The import from

Indian corn was quite depressed early in the week, No. 2

yesterday to 45/£c. on the spot, and 47c. for September. Other
grades of corn are more or less nominal. Receipts continue
liberal, but crop prospects are only fair. The drought has done
much damage in many sections. To-day, there was an easier
market, No. 2 mixed selling for September at 46%c.
Rye has been rather quiet; No. 2 Western sold at 64c. on

Oats declined sharply, but there was some recovery for
white, mixed further declining, leading to a good business.
To-day, the market was again irregular, No. 2 graded quoted
at 37c. for mixed, and 41@41^c. for white; No. 2 mixed sold
