MR. SUMNER ON FINANCE.

Yesterday Mr. Sumner created quite a Bensation in Wall
by the amendment to his specie payment bill. This
bill was introduced on Monday. It is designed, as its title
indicates, to accomplish two objects: first, “ to strengthen the
legal reserves of the banks, and secondly to provide for the
resumption of specie payments
To reach the first of these
ends it compels every one of our 1,600 banking institutions
to change the character of its reserve by the accumulation of
coin at the rate of one per cent a month, until the whole shall
be coin. When this point is reached, every bank shall be
required to keep its reserves in coin. The second grand ob¬
jective point—the resumption of specie payments—is to be
obtained by a combination of means which are set forth in
the third and following sections of the bill. First, the Secre¬
tary of the Treasury, upon the passage of the act, is to give
public notice of the intention of the Governnent to resume
payments in specie upon all its liabilities, not later than the
first of January next, thereafter payments by the Treasury to
be upon a coin basis. The Secretary is also required to re
street

this way from Canada under
the provision of the new law, which went into operation there
last Tuesday.
This is doubted, but even if it should turn out
to be in any degree correct, Mr. Sumner must remember that
the forty millions of fractional notes are a loan—a Govern¬
ment loan without interest—a loan cheaper to the Treasury
than the lowest of Mr. Sherman’s new bonds. In preparing
to pay off this forty millions loan, Mr. Sherman must raise
the capital somewhere. How are the funds to be had ? Will
he raise monej at four or five per cent to pay off this frac¬
tional currency loan which bears no interest. This he will
scarcely venture to do.
If he do not borrow the money he must raise it by taxa¬

For the two

months, from January 1 to March 1, the state¬
ment is not as strong as for
February alone; in the first
month of the year the principal roads did not make
very
favorable returns, and it was
naturally predicted by some that
the earnings would materially fall off from those of 1869.
The February reports, however, give a conclusive refutation to
those gloomy forebodings, and place the companies in a
much
better position than they stood a month ago. We see no
reason to change the
opinion previously expressed, that if the
earnings of 1870 shall equal those of 1869 the companies
will generally be in a prosperous condition, but where there
has been no increase in mileage, there would seem to be no
special reason to anticipate a general increase in traffic.

necessity for the immediate payment of the prin¬

the canals practically free, is most favorably regarded by the
business community. There are some differences of opinion
entertained as to the best mode of attaining this result, but
the conviction is general that some plan should be immedi¬
ately adopted by which a material reduction of tolls may be
effected. The bill lately introduced in the House of Repre¬
sentatives, by Mr. David L. Bennett, of Buffalo, “ to facilitate
commerce and
diminish the expense of exchanges between
the States,” has the same object in view, but proposes that the

the canal system of the State, including construction, repairs,
interest and “ perquisites,” has been $210,093,502 35 ; whilst
the offset to this amount, in tolls and interest,has been $202,619,515 08, leaving a debit of $7,473,987 27 to be charged
against the State as the amount not yet refunded. From this
showing it will be seen that, although our canals have not yet
quite paid for themselves, they are a very cheap and valuable
property. Of their importance, notwithstanding the‘rapid

That a material reduction of canal tolls is practicable at ficent water way from the lakes to the seaboard gives to New
York a natural monopoly of the vast and increasing trade of’

the Northwest, it is evident that high tolls and the neglectthe commerce, and add largely to the material wealth of the of
necessary repairs have resulted in diverting into other and*
State. Up to the present time many causes have combined cheaper channels, a considerable share of the traffic that should^

depreciate the credit of our canal system, the principal one
being that, while good in its conception, it has been worse than
bad in its management. The great difficulty, however, lay
not so much in the trunk canals themselves, as in the con¬
struction of too many unprofitable “ laterals,” and needless
feeders. A careful investigation of the subject shows that the
Erie, the Champlain, and the Oswego Canals, have fully paid
the cost of their construction and maintenance, and have also
developed resources of wealth, and a capacity to bear taxation
beyond all anticipation. Auxiliary to these, however, is a sys¬
tem of costly and practically worthless ‘‘ laterals,” the Gene¬
see, Crooked Lake, Chemung, Cayuga, Chenango, Oneida
Improvement, Black River and others. ' Some of these are
useful, it may be, as feeders for the upper levels, and others
have contributed more or less each year to the volume of
canal traffic ; but collectively they have proved a burden to
the State, and the cost of their maintenance, has been saddled
It is not impossible, however, to estimate
on the trunk lines.
with reasonable accuracy how much the State has gained from
her canal system, although it is difficult to separate the Erie
from the other trunks, each of which, though of lesser import¬
ance, is equally entitled to consideration.
In spite of fraud
and of the inevitable waste attending the management of pub*
lie works, both the Oswego and Champlain Canals have more
than refunded to the State Treasury the aggregate cost of
construction. The Erie Canal, according to the last report
of the State Engineer, has cost the State, for original construc¬
tion, over forty-three millions, for interest on construction
account sixty-five millions, and for the cost of maintenance
and interest theieon, over thirty-one millions; making its
whole cost, as accurately given, $140,430,953 40. As an offset
to this large amount, the Erie Canal has paid, in tolls, over
eighty-seven millions, and as interest on tolls over ninety four
millions—giving a total income of $181,828,603 83. Allow¬
ing the reduction of a liberal percentage for tolls on freights

St. Lawrence on the other, the many partially successful
schemes in New England and Canada to tap this trade ou its
way to the seaboard, all show how powerful is the competition
which New York must resist in order to retain the trade that

mainly contributed to her wealth and prosperity. If to
accomplish this, and prevent a still further decrease of canal
tonnage, a total abolition of tolls is necessary, the State can
well afford to lose the four or five millions annually collected
from this source, which is a trifle compared with the profits
gained from the handling, selling and transhipment of western
produce.
But aside from the benefits to be derived by both State and
city from the va6t commerce that would follow the canal if
opened as a free channel for the trade of the Ohio and the
Northwest; such a reform has an importance in the largest
sense national.
So heavy are the transportation taxes now
levied on this trade that, at the present lime, breadstuffs and

country would be more fully and profitably developed, the

Correspondent. J

London, Saturday, March 4, 1870.
A fair amount of business has been in progress

in commercial
during the present week, and very few real complaints are
heard from any quarter. On the whole, a sound and healthy trade
is being carried on, and, in most respects, prices rule firm.
A
circles

to

increase, the total amount at the credit of the GovernTent at the
being nearly £10,000,000. This sum will be retained there until

Rank

the dividends

paid in April, consequently, money will be compara¬
whole of the present month. But although
the credit of the Governmeut, the,Bank makes
the early part of the season, is cheaper, and the trade accounts
ready advances, on good securities, at 3 per cent, and so long as this is
from Lancashire are therefore somewhat
encouraging. The wool
the case, the mercantile body have no reason to complain, and, with
trade remains firm, and the position of that for iron is
very satis
nearly £70,000,000 of bullion in the Banks of England and France, there
factory.
Letters from India received this week state that the reports need be no fear that it will immediately rise in value. The following
are the present quotations :
respecting cotton from the Berar districts continue to be of th
favorable feature is that cotton, on the news from America stating
that opinions favor the larger estimates which were put forth in

most

gloomy character, and it is believed that no doubt exists but
that a great deal of cotton has been destroyed.
The receipts of
Oomrawuttee produce will, it is said, be much-below what was at
one time
anticipated. It must be borne in mind, however, that all
the estimates early in the season pointed to a
large increase in that
part of the country, and it is possible that the surplus which was
expected only has been lost. The quality of the cotton from this
part of the country is improving, although much irregularity still*
exists.

In

Guzerat, Dhollerali and Dharwar prospects continue
very favorable, and samples of the first pickings are expected at
an
early date. A few small parcels of Dharwar produce have
already been sold in the district.
The following relates to the trade of Manchester :
The

quiet feeling which characterized this market during the greater
part of last week has continued throughout the whole of the present. There
has not been what could be exactly described as any depression
apparent, but
the tone has been weak and languid, and in most departments
prices have
gradually been giving way. Nevertheless, some producers have hitherto had
so many
engagements on hand that* they have had little cause to alter their
quotations, even although they were doing little or no business. Such caseB,
however, are exceptional, and each day that passes without renewed business
diminishes their number. In shipping yams for China, the
supply of which is
large, the giving way in price is most apparent, and sales which were con¬
sidered low ana under the current market price last
Friday, could not be
repeated to-day. The position of spinners remains much the same, as rela¬
tively cotton has declined at about the same rate as yarn, but manufacturers
who are not spinners are not so -well off. as most
yarns suitable for shirtings
have not hitherto declined sufficiently to allow them to be used with
profit by
manufacturers. To-day, however, yarns for home consumption have shown
more
symptoms of giving way, and both twist and weft might have been bought
Xd. per lb below what spinners were prepared to accept on Tuesday.
The receipts of cotton at the American
ports begin to show some falling oft',
but this is only what has been
anticipated, and they still continue in excess of
those at the corresponding
period of last year. The prevalence of east winds
prevents a large quantity of over-due cotton from arriving in the Mersey, but
m the meantime
spinners keep trenching upon their stocks, and have latterly
bought less than their consumption. The stock in Liverpool consequently
does not decrease
rapidly, and a favorable change of wind would soon provide
a more
ample supply.

Washington for the purpose of explaining to members of Congress that Pitt?., Ft. Wayne & Chicago, gtnr
the eighth section of the
Funding bill, reported to the Senate by the
Friday Evening, March 18.
Finance Committee of that
body, would, if passed into a law, prove
highly injurious, if not disastrous, to the interests of national banks;
The Money Market.—The la-t baok statement shows that the
and a large portion of them, if not all,
would be forced to either late movement in favor of an easier condition of the banks was
aoandon their
only

organizations under the National laiw and wind up or
organize under Mate auihority, or as private banks.
The committee say : We plead the
injustice of making any distinc¬

tion between banks and others

ot

owners

bonds, and

we

maintain that

they, like others, should be left free to take the bonds or not. We
especially protested rgamst the injustice of compelling banks to surren¬
der or dispose of bonds which are not due, and the
right to hold which,
and to use lor the purpose that
they are now U9ed, we think they have
the plighted faith of the Government as a consideration for their
com¬
pliance with the terms of the National Banking law. With the present
enormous tuxes
imposed on banking capital by the General, State and
Municipal Governments, il is in our opinion impossible fora large por¬

tion ot the banks to maintain their existence and
pay reasonable divi¬
dends to their stockholders, without the benefit derived from circulation
whi.h they now enjoy, and which the section of the bill under con
sideration takes away entirely.
The following statement will show that there will be no
profit on
circulation if obtained on four and a half
per cent bonds paid for in
gold at par.
In making it we assume that money to be paid for the
bonds will be worth seven per cent.
If gold is above par, the result
will be more unfavorable than
appears in the statement.
It is to be
borne in mind that but
eighty per cent of the circulation can be

obtained

on

the par

value of the bonds:

temporary. The deposits showed a decrease ol $3/247,000, while
specie was down if2,500,000, and the legal tenders $764,000,
making a total reduction in lawful morey on hand of $3,264,000.
The surplus over legal reserve thus stands $2,400,000 lower than
the previous week.
During the last few deys there have been in¬
dications of a moderate outflow of currency to some of the sur¬
rounding districts—a movement which usually sets, in about this
period and continues until the beginning of April, to meet the
wants connected with annual settlements made about that period.
Some considerable amounts of currency have been sent to Phila¬
delphia.
y
Notwithstanding these movements looking to a more active con¬
dition of the market, there has beeu little change in the rates
beyond the discontinuance cf the exceptional transactions on dll
at 4 per cent.
Loans on. stock collaterals are generally made at
5@6 per cent, the higher rate being general at bank. The br'le¬
ers, in anticipation of a more active market, have in many cases
made arrangements for money at three months ahead. The large
reserve of specie in the banks, however, as it tends to keep up the
restr've at a full figure, is likely to prevent any marked activity in
the

the market.

The discount market shows

activity. A considerable
made on the spring trade is coming into the
market; but as there is a steady confidence among the banks and
other buyers, the supply is by no means superabundant, and rates
still rule at 7@9 per cent for prime names.

into another unprofitable speculation, it is well for us to weigh the
chances. The arrivals at New Orleans are just now small, but on
all sides we are told that this is due to the low condition of the

-

tributary rivers, and that there is “ plenty of Cotton on the banks
and at landings,” which consequently cannot be forwarded ; the
universal estimate of receipts at that port being “at least one
million bales, and perhaps more.” Taking that fact as the basis,
and adding the average local estimates of the other ports, we reach
the following result:

375

Shipping News.—The

exports of cotton from the United States the
latest mail returns, have reached 66,004 bales. So
far as the Southern ports are concerned, these are the same exportreported by telegraph, and published in the Chronicle last Fri¬
day, except Galveston, and the figures for that port are the exports for
two weeks back.
With regard to New York, we include the manifestonly up to Tuesday night, to make the figures correspond with the offi¬
cial week. ^Below we give a list of the vessels in which these ship¬

2,900,000 bales, and is likely to be more. Of this
Liverpool can have nearly 1,500,000 bales. Their spindles
are now working up 55,000 bales per week or more ; they cannot
exceed 60,000 bales, if every spindle in England is worked. With
these facts before us, and the certainty of large receipts from Bom¬
bay, through the Suez Canal, a speculative movement at present,
strikes us as a little dangerous.
The exports of cotton this week from New York show a decrease over
last week, the total reaching 12,161 bales, against 16,660 bales last
week.

^

Liverpool, March 5.—The Cotton Market has bten flat throughout
the week, with the tendency of prices in favor of buyers* Yesterday
the pressure to sell increased, particularly in cotton to arrive, and the
decline became mere decided, the quotations tc-day showing a reductioa of |d to £d from the rates of Thursday last.
For Sea Island the
demand continues limited, and the business has been chiefly in the
medium grades of Florida, at the reduced rates of last week.
Ameri¬
can has given way £d to
per pound, though the demand contiaues

comparatively good, chiefly by the Trade. In Brazil the sales have
been moderate, and prices are generally
per pound lower, Egyptian
continues to be pressed for sale, and with a limited demand, prices have
further declined fully £d per pound.
In East India the transactions
have been on a very moderate scale ; prices have given way £d in the
lower, and fully ud cn most of the better descriptions. In Cotton “ to
arrive” the transactions have been numerous, but at declining rates.

BREADSTUFFS.
Friday, March 18,1870. P. M.

The market for Breadstuffs the past week has, on the whole,
been inactive and
prices unsettled-—generally favoring the

buyer.

_

Flour has come to market
very freely, while the demand
has not been pressing from
any quarter.
Shippers have not
been able to meet the views of holders; the wants of the
Provinces and the West Indies seem to have been very

limited, and the local trade has been impeded by a heavy fall
which has rendered transportation difficult and

Brown Sheetings and Shirtings have been in fair demand
during the
week under review, although considerable activity has been occasioned

by the numerous reductions offered by jobbers. This action has been the
means of disposing of a large
proportion of the old stocks, and has lefu
dealers with supplies about equal to the demand. No speculative
demand appears to exist among buyers, who confine their
purchases
chiefly to the standard makes and to such quantities only as will satisfy
their immediate wants.
Latterly the market is a little more animated,
and goods are meeting a more general distribution, and
prices are
more steady.

Bleached Sheetings and Shirtings were dull during the week, but
have experienced more activity toward the close. As in brown
goods,
the movements sre restricted to small lots, at, in many
instances, lower
figures than our quotations. Trade, however, has been rather unsettled,
excepting in the most staple brands, which have moved with moderate
activity, and have formed the best feature of the market. Amoskeag

Print Cloths have been forced, by the fall iu the raw material and
in Prints, to yield to a decline, and the trade is
improved in
consequence. At Fall River the stock on hand has been reduced

nearly

one
half, and a proportionate increase is exhibited in
the sales. The market at Fall River to-day is reported as firmer and
more active. Prices have advanced, extras
selling at 7*c. for 64 square.
