not aware that it has done so. On the contrary I
think it has essentially benefitted a large class of borrowers, by
enabling them to compete with the favored class who formerly
monopolized the six per cent loans at the banks and elsewhere
as well as by increasing the amount of available capital in the
market.

Reply. I do not think they did, and for a long time after the
passage of the law. I think its effect was hardly to be noticed.
But its ultimate effect has been to substitute seven per cent for
six in mortgages and bank loans.
4. If so, have the free movements of supply and demand counteracted that temporary rise and developed a subsequent decline ?
Reply. With the exception of the above-named advance from
six to seven per cent, which I think was gradual, there has been,
in my opinion, neither advance nor reaction, but a constant tendency in the direction of ease and steadiness.

In the bullion market the chief feature haa been a withdrawal
from the Bank of £385,000 in bar gold for Qermany, and of
£200,000 in sovereigns for Japan. Silver is in short supply and
is firmer in price, and old Mexican dollars are scarce and dear.
The following prices of bullion are from the circular of Measra,

In the Stock Exchange there bas been a dull tone. British
railway shares have declined heavily, it being apprehended that
the high price of coal will materially diminish the net profits,
and consequently the dividends. Some, however, are of opinion
that the companies will be compelled to meet the diflBculty by
raising their fares, and it is certainly difficult to see how such a

cause of this is the high price of coal. There is no doubt that
our industries are being serion.sly interfered with, and by many
the future is viewed with grave anxiety. Tliere is, indeed, too

many of us, and especially to those branches of trade in which
steam power on an extensive scale is indispensable.

money pressure, are well maintained, and close at nearly the
same figures as last week. It is expected that the Secretary of
the Treasury will call in $50,000,000 of 5-20s next week, instead
of the $100,000,000 for which he was about to issue a call two

acting on the financial questions. The Alabama Legislature has
authorized |1,500,000 of new bonds. The business in lailroad

first mortgages and land grants are attructing some attention at
the present figures. In other good 7 per cent., or 6 per cent, gold

coupons of 1873, which the propoaitioo lubmlttad doea not provid*
for at all, will not only prove of great embarraaament to the 8taUt
treasury of themselves, but the fact that they are unprovided for
will disincline many bondholders to come tuto any arrangement
which may be agreed uiw)ii here as ti the interests of 1W8.
The committee stated that this scheme, which merely embraeea
the interest of 1H73, Is an experiment which they can undertake
with some prospect of success. They do not mtkts any proposition
as to the past, leaving that to lake care of Itaell, and only teekloir
to reach an accommtKlatlon of the present.
Tliey could not andertake anything which may entail an lucreaoi of taxea, which

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.
Friday Night, Feb. 38—5 p. m.
There is no change in the' condition of business affairs. The
weather has been inclement. The state of the streets has not
much improved, and heavy ice has appeared in the harbor hence
the semi-embargo upon trade, resulting from tlie repeated heavy
snow-falls which has existed since Christmas, continues. The
money market has also been a disturbing inflaence. Advices
from the North and West represent that the farming community
complain bitterly of the " hard times," of the low prices of what
they have to sell, and the high cost,of what they must buy. Col-
table,
returns,
of
articles
of
Bince
January 1, 1878, to all the principal foreign countries, and also the
totals for the last week, and since January 1. The last two lints
show total values, including tlie value of all other articles besidts
those mentioned in the table.

The movement since the first of January is as follows.
These are the figures of W. Nicol & Co., of Bombay, and are

the medium qualities, which have moved well. There is no lack of firmness
in the market for Japans, although a fair movement has been in progress in
the way of small invoices. The market is more favorable for importers now,
but there is still very little margin in any teas over the cost of importation.

steamer " Ontario" on the day following our last report
with 20,000 bags of Rio increased our stock by fully 10,000 bags more than
dealers here had calculated upon, but this excess was not unfavorable in its
effect upon the market, and prices were rather strengthened than other^vi8e.
Previous to this arrival, the ofl'erings were restricted to the few lots held by
speculators, and there was no opportunity for liberal selections from first
hands. Buyers were willing to operate, as the supplies in second hands had
been pretty well run down by the liberal distribution from first hands, but the
stock has been too small to admit of operations on a large scale. The receivers of coffee ex " Ontario" have advanced their pretehsions fully J^c, and
although the movement is not very active, the market is fully sustained at
that improvement. There has been a limited movement in the India grades,
but sales are prevented by the absence of stock in first hands. Maracaibo has
been advanced, and is in good request, with some lots afloat under treaty.

The week opened with a rather soft feeling on Muscovado sugars, and the
market has tended in buyers favor ever since. Reflners have operated to a
fair extent, and their purchases have prevented any material accumulation of
stock, but holders have been forced to concede considerably, and the market

As the season wears on refiners arc feeling more the necessity of laying In
and their operations arc becoming rather more liberal. There is still
an absence of marked activity, but two full cargoes of Muscovado have been
placed during the week, and with liberal offerings made up from recent arrivals there is more diapositiou to make selections. Prices are very strong, and
the sales of this week indicate an improvement, the price realized lelng 86c.
The movement in grocery qualities has not become very liberal as yet, but

Several brands of shirtings
are largely sold ahead, and in
some cases are advanced. Colored
cottons are selling freely, and the market is strong on all of the
leading brands of ticks, denims, and stripes. Prints are in good
request, and novelties are moved as fast as received. The offerings comprise many choice styles this spring, and the trade thus
far has been all that dealers could desire. Other cotton fabrics
are in fair request, with no noteworthy alterations in prices.
Domestic Woolen Fadrics.— The business is without especial
animation, and the market rules only moderately active, sale*
being restricted for the most part to small selections of the better

immediate distribution. Clothiers are still
moderate buyers, and the bulk of the sales are to them. Jobbers
are buying moderately, but their customers have not b<>gan to
operate with any freedom as yet, and they restrict purchases in
consequence, as the outlook is not favorable for any marked im.
provement in values during the remainder of the season. There
are few goods in the country, and it Is thought that the distribution cannot fail to exhaust the stocks in first and second bands,
which will be light, as manufacturers have turned upon winter
goods anusnally early. Dress fabrics sell freely, and the offerings of all our principal mills are held with much firmness,

Ribbons have not
been very active, and have been forced in the auction rooms on
several occasions at rates greatly in buyers' favor. White goods
were in fair request, and are realizing a moderate profit. Nainsooks, jacconets, Swiss mulls, checks, &c.,are moving more freely,
and some houses report an improved demand for piques, although
they are still comparatively inactive. Embroideries are also
more inquired for, especially Hambure edgings and insertions.
