The l^Bue of Bonds is limited to one-half ihe amount
of th«f same class of iionds ever itsued under a Uke
Guarantee.
The security of each Bond Is not confined a to single
MortgdKe. but extends over nil the Mortgages owned
by the Compa ^y. This Company receives no depocits,
Kuaraut es no other iecuntlea, and hai no other debts
than Its bonds, its Mortgagee are of like character to
those which h.ive bet-n bouRht In the last tweaty years
by IncMvidnals, Life Insurance Companies and other
Corporations, to the amount of more thun Fifty Millions of i)ollar«, proving a most secure aud satisfactory
invt stment. 1 he Loaus are all upon Improved Farms
in some of the most fertile Western states, near the
Railroads, with short and perfect titles, aud average
less than $650 each, upon property worth nearly four
times their amount. Kzpertence has prov<'d that wc'lsele ted Mortgages upon thli class of property are
Ealer than those upon city properly either lu the East
or West. They ate notaffected by Kirea, or by Buslneaa
revulsions; Principal and Interest »rc more promptly
paid; and upon the su cess of Agrlulture depeatui
that of almost every Induitrial inveatmeut.

utmost limit of that credit in order that a few acres
more may be cultivated, should be changed. Our motto

LlVEUPOOL AND LONDON AND GLOBE iNStTRANCE CO. The
annual meeting of the Liverpool and London and Globe
Insurance Company was held in Liverpool, on the 33d ot Feb.,
when a report was presented congratulating the stockholders on
the satisfactory state of the company's aflTairs. The report states
that the net fire premium income of the past year amounted to
fortieth
$5,723,124, tljp losses to $2,869,543, and after paying all charges
and expenses, the account shows a surplus from the fire business
alone of $1,196,734, and that they had carried from the surplus
of the year $825,0(X) to the general reserve and fire re-insurance
fund, which now amounts to $4,675,000. After other details of
the company's business, the report concludes by proposing to pay
a dividend for the year of 30 per cent. The profit on the whole
business of the company amounted to $1,817,078, and the invested
funds now amount to $38,425,160 thus showing that the present
financial position of the company is better, by a very considerable
amount, than during the best period of its existence before the
great American disasters (Chicago and Boston fires of 1371-1873.)
The business of the United States branch contributed to the
above results as follows Fire premiums, $3,328,140. Losses,

Tuesday morning. As a number of brokers and other business

accounts at this bank, the announcement of its failure at first

much excitement and caused a small panic in the stock
market, followed by a recovery in the latter part of tlie day. The
directory of the batik has since been reorganizsd, with an entirely
new board, cotnposed of exceptionally strong names, and with Mr.
Auf^ust tielmont as president, and it is intimated that it may
continue in business. In regard to the general effects of the
suspension two points are chiefly apparent. Firtt, that this is an
isolated case, fortunately disconnected with the transactions of
any other bank, and therefore indicates no general weakness;
created
HecoiuUy, that the failure occurred, so far as yet known, through
the mismanagement of the Vice-President of the bank, and
apparently with little knowledge on the part of the Board of
Directors.' Tliis latter fact is calculated to shake confidence
among bank customers and will naturally lead them to inquire

the week's events. Mr. Drew lias been among the most prominent
speculators known iu the history of Wall street, and has finally
succumbed to the games with which he had been accustomed to
" twist " his cotemporaries.
In our local money m;irket there has really been little change
to I'egiilar borrowers of good standing, although in the flurry on

On Thursday the Bank of England showed a gain of £395,000

Of the changes in bonded debt
" The question of suspending the payment of interest on the 7 per
cent income bonds of this company, as set forth in the treasurer's
report, until the company should be entirely free from all floating
debt, was considered but it was proposed by holders that the
conversion of these bonds into obligations secured by mortgage,
bearing a lower rate of interest, would benefit tbe company and

view to thus reducing the annual interest account of the company,
negotiations were opened by your general counsel, under direction of the board, during the past summer, with holders of a
large majority of the $3,000,000 of 7 per cent income bonds
due Jan. 1, 1922, resulting in their agreeing to accept in exchange
for tbe income bonds at par, 5 per 3ent carrency bonds at par,
having fifty yt-ars to run, secured by mortgage. To provide for
this exchang.', and to redeem $1,000,000 other income convertible
bonds, and to provide for future use of the company an additional
million of bonds, if required for its other purposes, a mortgage
for $5,000,000 was executed to the Fidelity Insurance, Trust and
Safe Deposit Company, of Philadelphia, as trustees, covering the
entire property of the company, subject to all existing mortgages,
and it has been duly recorded. It was also agreed that, to give
additional security to tbe bonds, all the stock held by this company in the lines north of Elnjira should be transferred to the
truttees of the new mortgage— the voting power and operating
facilities to remain with this company.
" The board also ask authority from the stockholders to use one
million of these bonds in exchange for the present one million
ooiiveriible incomes due in 1880, at a rate of interest not exceeding 6 per cent currency. This exchange, if effected, will reduoe
the mortgage liability for interest ten thousand dollars more per
annum— the remaining $1,000,000 to be reserved, and not issued
until required by the wants of the company, and under the
approval and authority of its stockholders,

Under the authority given at the general meeting of the stockhoWers, held Feb. 25, 1875, one million dollars of bonds, under

expenditures for terminal facilities, real estate and construction

We have credited to the lessees (Central BK. of N. J.) $871,787
for construction work since the lasi report.
Our lessees, with our approval, commenced in August last the
construction of a branch road from the mouth of Sandy Run, 4^
miles below White Haven, to Eckley and Drtfton, atotal distance
of 102-3 miles. This branch si expected to bring a large amount of
coal to the main line. As a part of the agreement with the Central Railroad Company, under which ihey commenced the work,
we contracted to pay them $150,000 on account of their advances
for construction work, and we made the payment during the fall.
The means for the payment referred to on construction account
were provided by the sale of 3,000 shares of stock obtained by
the conversion of part of the convertible loan of the company,
referred to in the last annual report as available for this and for
other purposes. The managers deemed it for the interest of the
company to issue slock rather than to increase our bonded debt.
They also sold 1,153 shares of stock to provide the means to make
payments on 175 acres of land in Panther Creek Valley, the purchase of which was reported at the last annual meeting. There
is still due on this purchase $63,528 12.

The sum of $98,600 paid to the Georges Creek Coal and Iron
Company was the last instalment due that company under the
agreement made in 1863 for the purchase of their railroad between
Frostburg and Piedmont, jiow constituting part of the Cumberlaud & Pennsylvania Railroad. This payment has been made out
of the surplus and working capital of the company.
To secure its liquidation at or before maturity, $100,000 in the

were carried through another half year. In July, of last year, as
the second suit approached its close, and a decision was daily
expected, the Central Pacific which had until then remained
passive contrary to expectation, offered the present proposition.
The Central Pacific offers two million 6 per cent, thirty year bonds
secured by a mortgage on the lines of the California Pacific, and
guaranteed by llie Central Pacific, for the three and a half
million of 7 per cent, extension bonds. Principal and interest of

its ability to accept the proposition, owing to the improbability of
getting the required number to assent, but has thought it advisable to get the opinion of the bondholders.
The chairman of the meeting, Mr. Sonnemann, stated that the
committee represented in round numbers $3,800,000 of the bonds.
There is a likelihood, he said, that this sum may be considerably
increased, though it was certainly doubtful whether the required amount could be obtained. As to the method of dividing
the $3,000,000 of 6 per cent, bonds, Mr. S. said that if the bondholders accepted the agreement, every $1,000 of bonds will
receive $500 in new bonds. The rest of the new bonds will be
sold by the committee, and the proceeds, after payment of the
expenses, which are quite large, will be divided among the
bondtiolders. The proposition was not, therefore, to be regarded
as giving four new bonds for every seven old bonds, hut that
more than $250,000 were to cover the expenses of the committee

—The Massachusetts Supreme Court has just
rendered a decision lor the Boston & Maine Railroad against the
Portland Saco & Portsmouth Railroad Company, in an action on
contract brought to recover the sum of $566,194 84, alleged to be
due from the defendant to the plaiotifi. At a hearing before
Judge Deveneg it was agreed that the case should be sent to the
full bencli on the question whether the plaintiff could alone
maintain an action for its share of any sum found lobe due under
the contract; and with an understanding that if the action could be
maintained then it should stand for trial, after having been sent
to an auditor.
The rescript of the full Court has been sent down
and is as follows: " Case referred to an auditor. The defendant
having settled with the Eastern Railroad Company, this action
may be maintained by the plaintiff alone."

six per cent gold bonds of the denomination of $500 and $1,000.
Having a large interest to pay on the bonded debt, in addition to
the current expenses of the Oovernment, and tlie protection of the
frontier, the present low rate of taxation may not be sufficient to
meet all demands promptly, and some deficiency may occur. To
guard against this, and to prevent the consequent depreciation of
i'reasury Warrants, I recommend that C per cent gold bonds of
the denomination of $500 and $1,000 be authorized not to exceed
$200,000— which may bo sold at not less than par, or exchanged
for Treasury Warrants, to meet such deficiency should it occur.
Messrs Foster, Ludlow & Co., Bankers and dealers in Texas
securities, at 7 Wall street, furnish a complete exhibit of the
State bonds and floating debt outstanding, from which our tables
of Texas State bonds in the " Investors' Supplement" will be
revised next week.

good authority, is that to-day it executed to Messrs. S. V. White
and B. F. Ham, trustees, a bill of sale (that was duly recorded today at the Custom House in this city) of the following ten
steamers, to wit City ol Peking, City of Tokio, City of San
Francisco, City of Sydney, City of New York, City of Panama,
Colon, Acapulco, Grenada and Colima, to secure the company's
bond given to said trustees for $4,009,000. The indenture provides that the bond shall be surrendered when the company shall
have duly signed, executed and delivered ten thousand registered
or coupon bonds for $1,000 each, or two millions of dollars such
bonds having ten years to run, with interest at 7 per cent per
annum, payable on ih« 18th of March and 13th of September in
each year. It further provides for the application of a sinking
fund, by requiring the company to pay to the trustees, on the

The wheat market was somewhat depressed early in the week,

would appear that weak holders have pretty well sold out,
