on the expected activity of business this spring; indeed,
it might be plausibly argued that the disappointment
extends far beyond the causes which have produced it.
Waiving this pohit, hawever, we shall confine ourselves
to the quietude which prevails, and endeavor to discover
what it forebodes in the immediate future.
At the outset, we must remember that the present
monetary depression is peculiar in its symptoms.

TBE SPRING MONEY MARRBT AND ITS.PROSPEjDTS.
We are now drawiiig near to
that season of the year
which has usually been regarded as critical to the money
market. For some months our hankers and mercantile
men ha\c been looking forward to this period in anticipation that the usual elasticity of business would be
developed; and that for a brief space, if not throughout
the spring, the rate of interest would rule at six or seven
per cent.
This expectation accounts in part for the
attempts to precipitate trouble last week* in the money
market, and for their complete failure. As we have
often been reminded,
two things are needful to make
money tight: the demand must be urgent and large, and
the supply of idle funds must be inferior t» the effective
demand. Unfortunately for the tight-money men, both
of these conditions were absent. There was, in the loan
market, an abundant supply of available funds seeking

no worse among us than in most countries of the Old
World.
From this view of the forces at work in the monetary
arena, what is the conclusion we should deduce as to the
prospects for the future ? The answer is, that, until
trade revives, it is useless to fear, and vain to attempt,
that the rates of money may be forced up by manipulation in Wall street. There is enough in the political horizon to operate adversely to trade and to check confidence in business, even were there not the general
agitation caused by the cardinal fact that the country is
approaching the penumb'-a of a Presidential election.
Moreover, in attempting to forecast the future of the
money market, we must not fail to give due weight to
the circumstance that, from a multitude of well-known
causes, our Western cities are suffering much less
severely than those of the Atlantic seaboard; and the
earnings of our railroads, with other obvious circumstances, tend to suggest reasons for a gradual reaction

in some official circles seems to make right, this may be

leave to object to such ruling. There exists a higher
sense of honor among our people than the late developments at Washington and elsewhere would indicate, and
it is becoming increasingly sensitive and pronounced.
In this case, it demands that the question be met in the
same spirit and manner as if the Government could be
forced to give this money where it of right belongs.
Now we do not propose to enter with much detail into
this portion of our inquiry, except as may be necessary
to supplement the remarks we made upon the same
point on a recent occasion (Feb. 5, 1876, page 123). We

The money Market and Financial
Situation.
There has
been little to disturb the quiet current of Wall street affairs
since the bank failure of last week, and business during the past
six days has been, upon the whole, decidedly dull.
The large money lenders have made use of the recent flurry,
and of the early approach of April, as a basis on which to mark
up the prices of time loans, but during the past two days there
have been large amounts of money offering on government collaterals at easy rates, and we have heard of |1, 000,000 so offered
till January 1, 1877, at 4 per cent., and an abundance on call at 3
per cent. On miscellaneous stock collaterals the range of quotations is 3@5 per cent.
The tone seems to show that the banks
and other heavy lenders now anticipate with a good deal of confidence that money is likely to be abundant during tlie next six
months. For commercial paper of the best sort there is an active
demand at 5@6 per cent., with some exceptional transactions on
very choice paper at 4^ per cent, There is a good deal of discrimination as to names, as might be expected.
On Thursday the Bank of England report showed a gain of
£737,000 for ihe week, and its reserve stood at 46 per cent, of the
liabilities.
Thediscount rate was reduced to 3J per cent, from 4,
the previous figure. The Bank of France gained 38,998,000
francs in specie.
The weekly statement of the New York City Clearing-House
Banks, issued March 18, showed a decrease of $1,163,335 in
the excess above their 25 per cent legal reserve, the whole of such
exccHS being $13,831,275, against $13,993,600, the previous week.
The following table shows the changes from the previous week
and a comparison with 1875 and 1874:

early part of the
week there
in governments, and dealers
have liardly experienced so dull a time since the first
of January
During the past day or two, however, there has been
a marked
improvement, and among the heaviest purchasers have
been
some of our large corporations. From the present outlook
it
appears as if there would probably be a renewed
demand for
governments after the first of April, as some parties
undoubtedly
wait for that period, in the hopes that a possible
tightening of
the money market may cause a slight decline in
prices

8s, and Northern Louisiana & Texas Railroad bonds, and
expected that the Board will commence to fund them at their
next meeting. The Stock Exchange last week admitted as a
good delivery the latest issue of District of Columbia 3-65s,
authorized by Congress.
Railroad bonds have been reasonably active, and in some of
the issues unusually large amounts changed hands at the Board.
Prices are generally well maintained, and nearly all the really
first-class mortgage bonds have advanced near to or above par.
The second-class mortgage bonds, selling a few months ago at
much lower prices, are also firmly held at the large advance
recently made.
Some of the Pacific issues have not been as firm,
possibly on account of the lower prices of American railroad
bonds in London, or because holders here are afraid of litigation
or hostile legislation by Congress.
The directors of the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
Company, at a meeting on Thursday, decided to begin paying
the 14 per cent bond dividend to-day, and a large part of it has
already been paid.

Railroad and lUlscellaneoua Stock*. The stock market
has been more quiet than for some weeks previously, and the
volume of business foots up a comparatively small total. There
have been no events to disturb the equilibrium of affairs, and in
the absence of " points" on which to operate, there lias been little
activity between the opposing interests.
In Pacific Mail there is no change of importance in the situation, except that the Panama Railroad claims $395,000 in addition
to its 1500,000 loan, and protests against the creation of the new
bonds of Pacific Mail. Lake Shore has ranged lower than last
week, but of its earnings, on which the value of the stock depends, the public has no information. Western Union Telegraph
matters remain in statu quo, and nothing more is heard of the
opposition except occasional threats of " further reductions."
Erie, after frequent fluctuations of 1@2 per cent during the week,
closes pretty strong at 21|, on the report to-day that the English
committee sails to-morrow, and that they will submit the proposal 10 fund alternate coupons on the first consolidated bonds
for five years, the other coupons being paid in cash the whole of
the coupons on second consolidated bonds for the same time

year emliny December 31, 1875).
The report shows the following
During the year there lias been produced 13,618 flaaksof quieksilver, as against 0,08t flasks during the year 1874, a golu of
more tlian fifty per cent, over the production of last year. This
large increase in production has involved but a small absolute
increase in expenses. The increase in production is due both to
the greater volume of ore developed in the inino and to its
gradual increase in riclinef>s. Tbe receipts of the company from
quicksilver produced this year, including value of amount on
hand at current prices, and other sources, were $726,160 03.
The stockholders are aware of the great and rapid fall in the
price of quicksilver during the early part of the year, and that
there has been no recovery from the lowest point. In view of
this fact the President thinks tlie company can be fairly congratulated upon the result of the year's operations.
Tbe improvements during the past year have all biien of the mo:<t substantial
character; no deterioration whatever has been allowed to take

The earnings
of the year are $474,388 80 less than those of
1874. or 11 16 100 per cent. Tbe operating expenses of tbe year
are |4.55,378 57 lees than those of 1874, or 14 3-10 per cent.
The decrease of earnings is largely due to the unprecedented
low rates of freight prevailing throughout the greater portion of
the year, arising from a struggle ot extraordinary severity and
long continuance between rival trunk lines, coupled witb the
unsettled and feverish condition of tbe business of the country.
The average freight rate obtained in 1H74 was but 1 1931000
cents per ton per mile, the through freight rate eastward being
but 9211000 cents per ton per mile. But in 1875 the through
eastward rate was ooly 751 1000 cents per ton per mile, and tli«
average rate of all freight having fallen to 1 5-1000 cents per ton
per mile.

accrued interest. This option was duly declared, and the additional one and one half million of bonds taken by Messrs. Drexel,

In the market for flour there waa a further advance early in
the week, with sales of large lines of common shipping extras
from spring wheat at fo 30(ffi5 30, bat these prices, with some
disposition among holders to obtain more money, checked the de-
mand, and finally caused some dulness in the course of Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. There was, however, no decline, nor
any pressure to sell. The choice family brands shared in the
upward tendency. Rye fiour was firm and there was a large

The advance in spring growths
caused rather more attention to be given to winter wheat, but
witliout important transactions being effected. A decline of 2@3o.

shippers. Receipts have been moderate at all points, and a considerable reduction has been efifected in stocks on hand. Last

recovery of prices. To day, there was a partial decline of Ic.

THE CHRONICLK
25, 1876.]
Pbidat. p. M.. March U,
1878.
Operations In dry goods this week have been comparatively
small In voluma and unsatis/actory in cLaracter with the domes,
commission bouseo. The Western trade, from which so much
is expected at this time of the year, have bought very few goods,
owing to unfayorable reports concerning business In their section
of country, attributed to the still impassable condition of the
roads, preventing the distribution of early purchases.
The demoralized state of the print market, and incipient weakness in
some descriptions of both cotton and woolen goods, also deterred
jobbers from other sections of the country from operating with
their customary freedom in domestic productions, and n mere
hand-to-mouth demand was experienced. Foreign goods were
also devoid of animation in private hands, but some very heavy
sales were made at auction, including a line of gold medal dress
fabrics and silks of the importation of Messrs. Passavant & Co.,
which realized the handsome sum of $203,000.
Tho jobbing
tio
was stimulated to some extent by the exceptionally low
figures at which some descriptions of domestic goods were offered,
but on the whole was sluggish when compared with former
trade

been supplied, prices for extra standard 64x64 cloths receded to
31c. cash @ thirty days. Prints were dull in first hands, and
although nominally unchanged in price, several styles were sold
at a concession from holding rates.
The leading jobbers offiered
various lines of fancy standard prints, in fair styles, at 5J@6c., and
shirtings at 5Jc., which low figures induced large sales. Ginghams and cotton dress goods were in fair request.
Domestic Woolen Goods. The main features of the traffic
In men's-wear woolens general quiet and unsatisfactory prices
remained unchanged. Tho few clothiers in the market commenced operations in heavy woolens for the early fall trade, but
their traniactions were generally small. For spring-weight cassimeres, suitings and worsteds, there was a limited, hand-to-mouth
demand from cloth and dry goods jobbers. Cloths and doeskins
of the most popular makes were in moderate request for small
lots.
Satinets in low grades for printing purposes were in lair
request, and mixtures of the better qualities were taken in
moderate amounts by clothiers. Kentucky jeans were quiet, with
the exception of low grades which met with fair sales. Flannels
were taken in small lots for keeping up ae.sortments, and carpets
were fairly active in jobbers' brands. There was a less active
movement in worsted dress goods, and shawls were so quiet that
manufacturers have begun to curtail production.
Foreign Dut Goods.— There has been a fair demand for black
cashmeres and fancy British and Continental dress goods, but
alpacas and pure mohairs have been quiet. Ijow and medium
black dress silks were fairly active, but colors and fancies ruled
quiet.
Millinery silks and ribbons found an outlet through the
auction rooms in liberal amounts. liinen goods were in moderate
demand, with most inquiry for leading housekeeping makes.
White goods and embroideries moved slowly, and laces were not
very active. Woolen (roods for mens' wear' dragged, and eflforts
will be made to close out some important lines at auction next
week. Hosiery and kid gloves were in steady demand.
