ADVANCE TOWARDS SPECIE PAYMENTS.
Wide as is the diversity of opinion in regard to other
fundamental questions about the resumption of specie
payment, there is a general unanimity in regard to two
points which are the most important. The first is the
necessity of lowering the level of the circulating current
of paper money, and the second is the obligation of
accumulating a reserve of coin by the Treasury before
we offer to pay coin on demand for our outstanding notes.
To Mr. Knox, the Comptroller of the Currency, we are
indebted for some figures which illustrate the progress
of the country in the former of these great preliminary
movements towards the goal of resumption.
He reports that during the year ending June 30, 1817,
national bank notes have been withdrawn to the amount
of $25,021,698. During the same time, new bank notes
were issued under the Act of January 14, 1875, amount-

of necessity operate to the repression of business.
Not-
withstanding the activity with which our currency has
been contracting its limits under the wholesome operation of the resumption law, the business of the country is
gradually recuperating, and shows as much, if not more,
of vitality and elastic strength as is exhibited in the
most favored countries of Europe.
Turning once more to Mr. Secretary Sherman's statement of the public debt, we find that the aggregate of
greenbacks outstanding is $359,828,294. We thus see
that the greenbacks are now reduced nearly to their old
level of 356 millions, at which they were left by Secretary McCulloch in 1869. The official tables show the
following changes of volume which the greenbacks have
sustained between that time and the present.
Up to the
time of the panic in September, 1873, the greenbacks
were reported at $356,079,742; on December 31, 1871,
at $378,481,339; on January 31, 1874, at $381,794,029,
and on February 28, 1874, at $382,078,592. Since that
period there has been a decline of over 22 millions, the
bank notes during the year amounts to
$12,558,198.

the rest. We could fill a column with a statement of
these contradictions, inconsistencies, and absurdities;
suffice it to say that the whole is arbitrary, without
unity or connecting link, there being no relation between
the different kinds of measurements, and everything
being exception and not by rule.
Of course, in a sense, all measures are arbitrary, since
they .are only an artificial system of reckoning. What
is essential in them is unity, simplicity and convenience;
but these are precisely the qualities which the existing
method lacks, it having been framed" without study
and adhered to because of the lack of anything better
and the difficulty of changing.
Probably the chief
reason of the defects of the present measures is their
lack of a definite unit-base, and with supplying such a
base the metric system begins. Its unit the meter is

London. Saturday, June 23, 1877.
The money market has continued to rule extremely quiet, and
the rates of discount have had a downward tendency. It was
expected in a few quarters that the directors of the Bank of
England might possibly reduce their minimum rate of discount,
and the Bank return published this week would certainly have
justified a fall of one half perct., but no alteration has been made.
The statement is very satisfactory the total reserve has been
;
augmented by as much as £1,177,738, the circulation of notes and
Bank post-bills having been diminished by £336,096, while
the supply of bullion has been augmented by £854,368. In the
total of "other securities" there has been a decrease of
£318,822.
showing that the demand for money has been very moderate,
though it may be mentioned that the item still figures for
£18,444,770, against £16,901,002 last year, being an increase
of
about £1,500,000. Although the demand for money is at a low
some improvement apparent compared with twelve
months since. Last summer, owing to the fact that enterprise and
trade had fallen to the almost lowest ebb, there was scarcely
any
demand. The rate was only fifteen shillings to one pound
per

difficulty, but there can be no peace or prosperity in Europe as
long as the present unfortunate state of things lasts.

at tbe
Board
—
tallroad and miscellaneous Stocks. The stock market
has experienced some little animation for a holiday week, and
prices have at times shown a good deal of firmness.
On Monday
the coal stocks were the principal feature and advanced quite
sharply, though subsequently falling off from the highest prices
reached. At the opening to-day there was also a strong feeling
and a general advance in prices at the first Board, but a pressure
to realize afterwards set in, and much of the advance was lost.
The Lake Shore statement for the six months and the failure to
declare any dividend appears to have had little effect on the
stock, which is believed to be more Btrongly held than most of
the other speculative favorites.
A redaction of 10 per cent in
salaries and wages has been made among the employes of many
leading railroads, and the reduction seems to be acquiesced in as
reasonable and necessary. The brief report of Michigan Central
earnings, telegraphed at the time of the annual meeting, gave
the approximate figures for the fiscal year ending May 31, as
follows
Gross earnings, $0,483,000
operating expenses and
taxes, $4,706,000
floating debt, $400,000, of which $150,000 has
been paid since.
Total sales of the week in leading; stocks were as follows ;

1'tie Gold market.
Gold shows no point of special interest,
and the price fluctuates within a very limited range, the figure
yesterday and to-day being 105J. On gold loans the terms were
A San Frani, 1, 2, 1^ and 3 per cent for borrowing, and flat.
" The Nevada Bank has sold $400,cisco report of Jane 28 says
000 in trade dollars for shioment to China by the steamer on the
3d proximo, and $1,000,000 in fine silver for the same and follow
ing steamer. This clears out the supply of trade dollars, and no
more can be had until the re-opening of the mint in July. The
market for fine silver is also pretty well cleared."

the payment of the principal and interest of the Atchison Branch
bonds." Issues were joined, evidence taken, and the cause was
tried in August, 1875, when a decree was entered which fully
sustained the position of this company, holding that there was
no liability upon its part for either the principal or interest of the
Atchison branch bonds, ordering a foreclosure of the mortgage as
to, and a sale of, the main line, and cutting off all lien thereon
under the Atchison Branch mortgage. It also found that the
Southwestern Company was a general debtor to this company on
an .accounting in which it was debited with all Bums paid to
that date, for the operation and improvement of its lines, and
credited with all sums received for the transportation of persons
and property over them. From this decree an appeal was taken
to the Supreme Court of the United States by the Atchison Branch
bondholders, and the latter court affirmed the decree of the circuit court in every essential particular.
In 1871, the Des Moines Indianola & Missouri Railroad Company commenced the construction of its> railroad, from a point on
the main line of this company's road in the city of Des Moines to
Indianola, a distance of about twenty-two miles. For the purpose
of raising money to be used in this construction, it issued its
bonds for the sum of $300,060, secured by first mortgage upon
its entire property.
This company became the owner of these
bonds, and commenced the operation of the road as completed,
upon an agreement to apply net earnings in payment of interest
on the bonds. The net earnings of the line were not sufficient to
pay in full the interest accruing, and proceedings for foreclosure
have been commenced, and are now pending in the Circuit Court
of the United States for the District of Iowa.
In 1872, the Des Moines Winterset & Southwestern Railway
Company constructed a railroad from Summerset, on the line of
the railroad laBt mentioned, to Winterset in Madison county, a
distance of about 26 miles. While the construction was in progress, it issued its bonds for the sum of $500,000, secured by
mortgage upon its entire property. These bonds became the
property of this company, and proceedings having been instituted
in the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Iowa,
for a foreclosure, a decree has been entered in accordance with
the prayer of the petition. A sale of the property under the
decree will be made in a few months.
The two last-named
branches have proved quite valuable as feeders to the main line.
In August, 1876, the Iowa Southern & Missouri Northern Railroad Company was duly incorporated, with full power to purchase the main line of the Chicago & Southwestern, the Des
Moines Indianola & Missouri, and the Des Moines Winterset &
Southwestern railroads. In September, it made an arrangement
by which it received from the Southwestern Company a conveyance of its main line, sub'ject to the above-mentioned decree, and
the rights of the holders of the outstanding bonds. The consideration paid to the Southwestern Company for the transfer was
an entry of satisfaction of the amount of the judgment for the
general debt to the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Company, before mentioned, the Iowa Southern & Missouri Northern
having completed arrangements with this company for such
application of that indebtedness; On the 1st of November of the
same year, a sale was made under the decree of foreclosure of the
same property, and the same company became the purchaser.
Payment therefor was made, mainly, with the coupons which
had been paid by the Chicago Rock Island 6 Pacific Railroad
Company in the performance of its contract of guaranty, and covered by the decree of foreclosure. The same company has also
purchased of the Des Moines Indianola & Missouri Railroad Company its railroad, extending from Des Moines to Indianola, using
in payment therefor certain assets which had been transferred to
it by the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Company.
It
has also completed arrangements for the purchase of the Des
Moines Winterset & Southwestern Railroad, when the same
shall be sold at judicial sale. The capital stock of the Iowa
Southern and Missouri Northern Railroad Company now amounts
to $3,200,600, and all but a few shares are under the absolute
control of this company. This places the property of that corporation under the control of this, and it will hereafter be operated as a part of the property of this company.
From the foregoing statement, it will be seen that the property
owned, leased or controlled by this company, at the date of this
report, is as follows:

Mr. George Hague, the General Manager, says in his report
"With regard to the dividend-earning power of the bank in
future, there is no reason tojdoubt that, with the number of valuable accouats on its books and the many friends and stockholders
who will doubtless continue to assist it with their influence, its
profits may admit of a dividend of seven and a half or eight'per
cent being paid, and a moderate amount in addition regularly set
aside for the Rest.
This is on the supposition that the difficult
times through which we are passing maybe prolonged somewhat
further. But should Providence favor the country with a bountiful harvest, and a revival take place in other branches
of
industry, it is probable better results than this may be reached
and that the seventy-five dollar shares may be worth a hundred
'dollars, and that before the lapse of many years.

Mobile & Ohio. The decree entered at Mobile, on June 15
1877, in the Circuit Court of the United States, appoints James
Gillette and Thomas H. Herndon special masters to sell the road
under the first mortgage, provided the amounts due are not paid
prior to August 1.
The sale is to be advertised eight weeks. If
the property is bought for the parties joining in the agreement
of October 1, 1876, they shall permit other bondholders to join
until September 1, 1877. The decree further provides that

of this « It is
understood that the decrease in the valuation of personal property
is owing to the distribution of the surplus
and the decrease in
the capital in the banks of this city. There is also a
decrease of
$156,000iu residentjand personal valuations, owing to the failures
during the year. The decrease in the valuation of property
owned by non-residents is $910,000. This decrease is said to be
owing to the fact that many non-residents have withdrawn their
capital. from the city, and also to the judicial decision exempting
certain personal property from taxation.
The increase in the
valuation of real estate is owing to the erection of new buildings.
The total amount to be raised by taxation is $28,434,269 48. This
indicates that the rate of taxation on the assessed valuation
of
the property will be $2 65 on $100."

year, there is a decrease of 4,000 bales this year in the week's
shipments from Bombay to Europe, and that the total movement
since January 1 shows a decrease in shipments of 106,000 bales,
compared witn the corresponding period of 1876.

Gunny Bags, Bagging, Etc. The transactions in bagging
have been light the past week, but the market is strong, with
considerable inquiry and indications of an increase in Fales in the
near future. The transactions foot up 500 to 600 rolls, at 12fc.
for standard brands.
India bales are nominal at 10c. Bags are
held at 12c. for 440s, but there is nothing doing in them. Butts
have sold to only a moderate extent, but prices are very firm,
particularly for the better grades. The sales reported are 1,500
bales to arrive at 8f@3ic, gold, and 500 bales on spot, in lots, at
3i@3fc. currency, as to quality and terms.
