The practical (juestion before the country is not whether the
money shall consist of silver or of gold, but whether the dollar
or its representivtive shall continue of the pre.s<Mit standard
value, or shall sink to a relative value greatly diminished in
purcha-sing power. That the gold dollar and the silver dollar
are not e<iual, is confessetl by the daily operations of the Treasury, With five dollars of the one it purch.ises l)ullion enough
to coin six dollars of the other.

The operations of the Govenuuent are of such magnitiule'
that the kind of money used in its payment must at oncebecome the standard money of the nation, and to that standard all banks and business men must by necessity conform in
their dealings and exchange with each other.
The cheaper
coin, thus largely disbursoil. will at once exjiel the dearer one,
and tlie transition from the present gold to a single ailver
standard must be general, swift and certain.

j^anted as money, in exchange for silver necessarily imported
Jp fill the void thus created, until this nation becomes irrettievably and solely a silver nation.
The withdrawal of gold as money during this transition
will naturally be attended with contraction of the currency
that must prove seriously detrimental to the business of the
nation; and the consequent estabUsliment of a silver standard
here, and the opening of a special BUver market, will relieve
European nations of the embarrassment they have long felt
respecting the practical relation of the two metals to each
other as money, by transferring the subject to this country,
and will defer indefinitely ib* settlement as an international
question.
In view of consequences so serious and far-reaching, why
should Congress maintain a policy certain to derange every
Interest and disturb every industry in the land, and to become
an obstacle and hindrance to our commerce with all other
nations ?
The time has arrived when this long-impending evil, if not
Boon arrested, must reach its crisis and become a serious and
practical question of daUy business life. Before accepting the
situation as the unalterable policy of the nation, the undersigned, on behalf of the great interest they represent, most
earnestly appeal to every industrial and commercial association
in the land to unite in a solemn and vigorous remonstrance to
Congress against the continuance of a law whose evil results
are so inevitable and so momentous.

The Money Market and Financial Situ-ation.— Sonio
of the symptoms of " spring trade " are to be seen in tlie increase of the imports at the port of New York, which have
been from 10 to 12 per cent larger in the last two or three
weeks than previously, and though the distribution of goods
to the interior and country merchants is on a comparatively
small scale yet, there is reason to expect improvement before
long, from the fact that the stocks of goods throughout the
country are much smaller than usual. The chief obstacle,
however, to a pi-ompt improvement in the whole commercial
and financial situation is that the exportable products of the
country do not find a ready market. The visible supply of
grain in the United States is larger than ever before at this
season of the year. At Chicago alone -it is estimated that
there is $30,000,000 locked up in bank advances on grain
and provisions in store, and yet with tliis large stock of
grain in hand, which must find a mjirket abroad if at all, we
have exported in the last three weeks about $9,000,000 of
gold, which makes it evident that Europe prefers the latter to
our breadstuflfa at the present prices.
The export movement of specie seems to have about ceased,
at least for the present. The total exports since Friday, the
8th, have been insignificant, and there are no engagements
to-night for specie for the European steamer going out to-morrow, the 15th. The immediate causes of the cessation of gold
exports were the reduction of the Bank of England rate of discount on Thursday to 3 per cent from d>4, the consequent
decUne of 14, cent on the pound sterling on short bills, and the
marketing of about $1,500,000 of bankers' demand bills by the
Bank of Montreal and Messrs. Kennedy Tod& Co., on Friday,
In connection with the Canadian Pacific affairs.
The money market shows some faint symptoms of stiffening,
though it has not been made manifest in the quotations, except
for discounts on mercantile paper, which were advanced ten days
ago }4 cent to 5 and .53^ for single names, and the same this
week for double names to"4 and 5. Time loans on collateral of
dividend-paying stocks can still be had for any time less than
9 months at from 3}^ to 4 per cent, and on mixed collaterals
at 4 per cent. Call loans on stocks have continued at from 3
to lU per cent.
The last statement of the New York banks showed an increase of $3,841,300 in the loans, which is presumed to have
been largely upon railway stocks which have been withdrawn
from the stock loan market and used as collaterals for loans at
the present low rates, in anticipation of an increase in the rates
portion, however, is of course due to the usual
later on.
increase of accommodations to merchants incident to the
spring trade. The concurrent and nearly equal decrease of
deposits and of specie partly reflects the export movement of
gold that week, though this item counted only in part in the
last statement and may be expected to affect also this week's
return. The decrease of surplus in the week to March 8th
was $.5,879,300, though this still left it at $12,820,675, as
compared with a deficiency of $5,166,150 at the same date
last year.
On Thursday the Bank of England, as already stated, reduced its rate of (tiscount to 3 per cent from 3}^, owing to the
continued gain of specie on balance in the foreign movements
of gold. In the same time the reserve in the Bank was increased to 43 7-16 per cent of its liabilities, as compared with
38% per cent a week before. The gain in specie for the week
was £883,000. The, weekly statement of the Bank of France
showed a gain of 1,300,000 francs ii^ gold and ;a decrease of
1,100,000 francs in silver. The Bank of Germany showed a loss
of 8,207,000 marks in specie for the week.
I'he following table shows the changes from the previous
week and a comparison with the two preceding years iu the
averages of the New York Clearing House banks.

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.— The stock market
was adversely affected during the three days up to last
Wednesday by the exports of specie last week and the expectation that they would be large again before the close of this
week. There were also rumors of trouble in the Trunk-line
pool, which were practically acknowledged to be true by the
fact that on Thursday there was a general reduction of 10
cents per 100 pounds on all grain, provisions and meats in the
east-bound tonnage of the Trunk lines. On Wednesday, however. New York Central became a feature, owing to the
scarcity of the stock incident to the maturity of a large
amount of seller 60 sales. The stock for cash and immediate
to }4 P^^.F^
delivery commanded a premium of from
over " regular,'' though at the same time it was from iM.tf>
The ad2J^ below the regular on seller 5, 15 and CO day options.
vance in New York Central had the effect to strengthen the
whole market, which on Wednesday closed generally higher
and retained a part of this strength during the next day.
On Friday the reduction of freight rates ordered by the TruijK
marline managers had a temporary depressing effect, but the
a
ket quickly recovered, and during the afternoon raanife.stea
strong upward tendency on some of the leading special^M.
The result for the week is generally higher prices than on Fnday of the previous week, though there are a few proniinent_MThe
ceplions, like Central Pacific, Union Pacific and Erie.

Lonis & San Francisco Railway Company.
(For the year ending Dec. 31, 1883.)
At the annual meeting of the St. Louis & San Francisco
Company the following directors were elected for the current
year
C. P. Huntington, Leland Stanford, Jay Gould, Russell
Sage, Jesse Seligman, E. F. Winslow, J. D. Fish, W. S. Buclcley, Horace Porter and A. S. Hatch, of New York; W. L.
Frost, of Boston, and C. W. Rogers and R. S. Hayes, of St.
Louis. The number of .shares voted was 187,764.
The annual report states that " The crops for 1883, in the
regions traversed by the company's lines, were only moderately good. The wheat crop was considerably less in quantity
than that of the year before but the yield of com was quite
St.
:
:
;
satisfactory.
" Owing to the diminished activity in the iron industries of
the country at large, the customary and important ore traffic
of our lines has been during the year greatly curtailed.
" The live-stock traffic has been increased during the latter
months of the year by reason of the extension of the line of
Pacific Railroad in the
the Central Division of the Atlantic
Indian Territory, and which continues for the present to be
operated by this company. This extension, however, did not
reach Red Fork Station (on tlie west side of the Arkansas
River) sufficiently early in the year to afford the full measure
of advantage in this respect, and such as may be expected
hereafter.
" The through service to the Pacific Coast, created by the
completion of the Western Division of the Atlantic
Pacific
Railroad between the Rio Grande and the Colorado River, was
opened near the close of the year. This makes a most attractive and advantageous trans-continental line. Passengers to
and from St. Louis over, our road can now go between St.
Louis and San Francisco without change of cars, and, owing
to the location of the line along the 85th parallel of latitude,
will not suffer from the extremes of temperature and delays
from snow, as upon other routes." * * *
"It is gratifying to note the continued favorable showing in
respect to the ratio of operating expenses. The actual operating expenses for the year were only 40 86-100 per cent of the
gross earnings. The percentage of all expenses, improvements
and taxes was 46 79-100 per cent.
"As shown by the report of the Vice-President and General
Manager, $64,673 charged to improvement and paid out of
earnings were expended for property at Newburg, half way
between St. Louis and Springfield." * * *

the recent large advance in the stock of this ci)mpany was tho
rei>ort that the tniiik line arbitrators had awarded it 14 per
cent of the pooled west-bound busihess. After the clinvix was
reaclie<l in the upward movement c^f the stock, it tninspired
that the award wtis only 12'6 |>er cont. in8tea<l of 14 per cent
of the whole business. The first rejiort Wiis apjmrently untrue,
and this s<>ems to Ix- a case for the application of the new bvw
introduced in the New York Legislature f^ir punishing the dissemination of false reix)rt4 to influence the value of stocks.
In view of tho fact that the recent annual reijort showetl
earning which were .said to be equal to 14 per cent on the
stock, it is rather remarkable, if true, that miners' wagt's are
to be cut down.

Commissioners also recommended the passage of the supplemental act, which provides that the stockholders may, if they
choose, allow the preferred shai-eholders to elect a majority or
the whole of the board of directors until all dividends at any
time due on the preferred stock have been declared. This
would aUow those who advance money to say who shall manage the company imtil they have received interest upon their
advances. The sui)plemental bill also provides that preferred
stock, if issued, shall first be offered on equal terms to common

Mexican Central. — The main line of this railroad was
completed March 8 by the laying of the last rail at FresnUlo.
The line extends from the United States border at El Paso,
the City of Mexico, a total distance of 1,325 miles.
says: The funds to build the road have
been raised in the following manner: Subscription No. 1, of
March 27, 1880, realized the company in round numbers
^5,400,000, and for each cash subscription of .|4,250 a block of
$5,000 first mortgage 7 per cent bonds, $1,000 income bonds
and forty shares of capital stock of a par of $100 each was given
to each subscriber. The second subscription, January, 1881,
was for $11,367,000, for which a block of $5,000 first mortgage bonds, $1,000 income bonds and forty shares of stock
for each $4,500 paid over to the company was given.
April 12, 1882, circular No. 3 made its appearance,
calling for $6,032,000 upon the same terms as the second
subscription, and January 25, 1883, stUl another, circular No.
4, was issued, calling for the same amount as No. 3 and upon
the same terms, except that for a portion of the subscription
an additional bonus was given, and, remarkable as it appears
to|be, it is understood that of these large sums there has been
no failure in a single instance to meet the temis of subscription by the capitalists who have taken them.
In addition to the amounts mentioned above. President
Nickerson a few weeks since, finding that the road would require additional funds, secured a loan of a million dollars for
tn« term of one year, subscribers to have the option of taking
the bonds of the company at 65 per cent in payment instead of
cash.
Aggregating these subscriptions, we find that our capitaUsts have, up to the present time, invested the following
amounts in the Mexican Central

year.
This is mainly due to the large arrivals of Bengals, which are
nearly double last year's figures; but now that the crop is beginning to fall off, it is probable that we sliall soon see a
deficiency in tbe receipts this year as compared with last.
Cleai-ances are in excess of la-st ye.ar by al>oiit 10,0(X) bales, but
unless Dhollerali turns out a full crop, .is to which some doubts
are now being entertained, the exports to Europe for the current six months are not likely to reach a million bales, this
quantity being the most that the export is likely to total under
tne most favorable conditions of weather and market. Tbe
quality of the present Oomrawtittoe arrivals has not improved
muchi and continues to give dissatisfaction; but the Dhollerah
crop, judging from sample lots which have already come
down. i)roniise8 to be an excellent one so f.ar as quality is concerned. No samples of Broach have as yet been received, but
first pickings, it is expected, will be slightly stained, owing to
late rains."

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
FKIDAT, P. M., March
11, 1884.
spring-like the past week, and
a fair distribution of seasonable goods
was made by
leading
jobbers; but business in this connection was less active than
is usually witnessed at this time of year, retail buyers having
continued to operate with a degree of caution bordering upon
Some very fair orders for clothing woolens and
timidity.
cloakings were placed with agents representing domestic
manufacturers, and a fevy specialties in dress goods, wash
fabrics, &c.,were moderately active; but, taken as a whole, the
demand at first hands was light and disappointing. The
movement in foreign goods was strictly moderate, selections
by jobbers and retailers having been almost wholly of a handto-mouth character, and light in the aggregate. In spite of
the comparative quiet which has prevailed in the market of
late, prices are fairly maintained on the most desirable goods,
and few accumulations have thus far taken place because of
curtailed production in this country and diminished imports
from abroad.
Domestic Cotton Goods. The eaports of domestics for
the week were 2,004 packages, including 949 to Great Britain,
—
303 to Argentine Republic, 216 to Brazil, 147 to Venezuela,
138 to United States of Colombia, &c. It was a very quiet
week with the commission houses, but a fair business in all
seasonable fabrics was done by the principal jobbers. Brown
sheetings were slow of sale, and Southern brands are in such
large supply that a curtailment of production is under conBleached goods were in light demand at first

hands, but the finest and medium grades are well sold up and
steady in price, while low qualities are weak and unsettled.
Wide sheetings were in fair request, as were corset jeans, and
stocks are in good shape. Colored cottons were dull with
and the demand for white goods was .less active; but a
fair trade in the above fabrics was done by jobbers. Print
cloths were in light demand and easy at last quotations,
which are lower than at any time since March, 1879. Fancy
