mistaking the nature of the demand, have tried to put
up the rates of interest.
Their attempts, however, have
not been attended with much success.
The position of
the money market prior to the April payments has not
for many years shown as much tranquillity'as now. The
causes of this steady quietude have often been discussed,
with the view to ascertain whether it promises to last.
The opinions on the subject are very conflicting.
The
tight money men attribute it to changes growing out of
the approach of specie payments.
The demand for mon¬
etary accommodation, they say, very truly, has rapidly

that we are now considering. The reviewer showed that
the money market, in certain crises, is liable to alternate
fits of careless ease and severe discrimination. It will lend
sometimes with the utmost rashness, and at other times
wholly refuses to lend to the same class of borrowers at
any rate they can offer, while to other borrowers capital
offers itself at rates extremely inviting and low.
Such are, in brief, some of the arguments by which
those who believe in the probability of higher rates for
money defend their expectation.
Although the process
may be slow, but the tourniquet, they say, has been ap¬
plied, and except the country recedes from the policy it has
avowed of preparing for tpecie payments, a series of
financial spasms and monetary fits of stringency must,
they contend, be the inevitable result. If they are

WILL THE PRESENT EASE IN THE MONEY MARKET CONTINUE ?

in connection with a
pointed to the existing quietude of the money market,
these men tell us that it is but the preliminary step which
is leading to future trouble.
The ease, they say, is
caused by the fact that capital is timid and will not
trust itself to any but approved borrowers, who are
fewer than they were, so that the demand for loanable
funds is less than the supply, while the latter is increas¬
ing and accumulating.
There is no doubt much of truth in this view, but it is
mingled with some errors, and, in effect, it is practically
false. It fails to take into account the complexity of circum¬
stances onjwhich the money market and itsjehanges depend.
It assumes that the mechanism of the money market
is much more simple than it is.
Even their own argu¬
ments do not bear out their theory, for they admit that
capital is accumulating in the money market, and uni¬
versal experience shows that when such a process of ac¬
cumulation is specially active, the discrimination gradu¬
ally disappears before it. Without disputing, therefore,
the facts which are adduced, we may fairly deny that
they warrant any such concl usions as have been drawn
from them.

paper currency has been contracted by the withdrawal
within a year of more than 100 millions of dollars ; this
vast work
of paper-money contraction was carried
forward thus vigorously with a view to the resumption
of specie payments ; and yet during the whole process
there was no stringency in the money market, nor any
disturbance of the ordinary course of business ; but, on
the contrary, all departments of commerce and trade
have been very active, and so continue.
From the whole argument, then, we may conclude
that the tight money clique have misinterpreted the
facts of the situation.
If during this week they have
been disappointed in their desire to mark up the rates of
interest, the disappointment arose, not because they were
premature in their efforts and expectations, but because
those expectations are radically wrong, and because the in¬
ductions are based upon too narrow a basis of facts.

In my judgment a far more important improvement of the Erie
Canal would be effected by a thorough system of ordinary repairs,
which should give the water-way its proper and lawful dimen¬
sions ; and by progressively deepening it, wherever reasonably
.
practicable, from seven to eight feet. As the object would be
merely to enable the submerged section of the boat to move in a
larger area of water, so that the displaced fluid could pass the
boat in a larger space, it would not be necessary to alter the cul¬
verts or other structures, or to carry the walls of the canal below
the present bottom, and the benefit would be realized in each
portion of the canal improved, without reference to any other
part of the channel which should remain unchanged. In facili¬
tating the movement of the boat, and quickening its speed, it
would increase the amount of service rendered in a given time,
and would thereby diminish every element of the cost of trans¬
portation. It would benefit the boatmen and carriers more, even,
than one cent a bushel remission of tolls. It would be of more
real utility to navigation than five or ten times its cost expended
in the average manner of so called improvements on the public
works. But it is too simple, too practically useful, to enlist the
imagination of projectors who seek the fame of magnificent con¬
structions and of engineers who build monuments for exhibition
to their rivals,or to awaken the rapacity of cormorants who fatten
on jobs.
Ei
discussion, however, at Albany, and the bad spirit
exhibited there the past week, have not at all served to
.quiet the distrust the public necessarily feel in the aver¬
age legislator and contractor since this exposure.
And
if there is any self-respect left among our law-makers,
haste will be made not only to pass the necessary- statutes
for reaching the criminals, but also to authorize the
Governor
appoint a commission which shall most
searchingly investigate this whole subject. To show
anger now, to attribute low motives to the Governor, or
to make light of the whole matter, will avail nothing ;
for, outside of the Legislative halls, the people of the

receipts into the exchequer have amounted to £78,480,008, against
£84,503,930 in the previous year. Customs’ duties have produced

while the income tax has yielded £4,000,000, against £5,0G5,000.
Compared with the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s estimate, there
is a deficiency in the excise duties of nearly £3,000,000, but as the
Customs' duties are now only about £700,000 below the estimate,

against three pence last year. The expenditure of the country
during the same period lias amounted to £72,GG8,076, against
£77,158,531, which is so far below the estimate. The Chancellor
of the Exchequer is not likely to have much of a surplus, if auy.
It is stated that the North-German Lloyds, the Hamburg-American, and the Adler Steam Packet Companies have combined to
urge the Imperial Government of Germany to endeavor to subject
indirect emigration from Hamburg via Hull and Liverpool to New
York to the regulations and official supervision which are already
applied to direct emigration. The National Zeitung remarks
that such an arrangement is not only very desirable for the emi¬
grants’sakes, but would be advantageous to the through German
companies. At present the agents of the indirect routes are able to
offer lower rates of passage in consequence of their freedom from
the restrictions and requirements to which their rivals are sub¬
jected.

According to the official returns, the imports of wheat into the
Kingdom during the two past mouths of the current year
amounted to 5,02G,437 cwt., of which the United States con¬
tributed 2,828,743 cwt. and Russia 1,303,846 cwt. During the
corresponding period of 1874 they were 7,208,729 cwt., aud of
1873,7,136,910 cwt. Of flour the receipts were 1,027,682 cwt.,
against 1,424,646 cwt. and 1,358,562 cwt. The importations of
barley exhibit an increase of 677,000 cwt., and of Indian corn of

prevailed. A report from Man¬
of the cotton market is so
problematical that it appears most satisfactory to take any con¬
tract with caution, as, although free arrivals’ of cotton may be
expected for the next fortnight in Liverpool, the very small scale
of present receipts in America may counteract their influence.
Though for some years the tendency of cotton has at this period
been slightly downward, prices for the raw material are now at so
low a point that it is very unlikely that, under any circumstances,
any serious decline can occur.
But, on the other hand, the
present time is critical, and upon the weather in the cotton States
in America largely depends the future course of prices.
All re¬
liable advices on this point will largely influence us, and the
Liverpool market is likely to rise or fall with the tenor of accounts
from the cotton States.
At Leeds, though business is by no
means active, a firm tone prevails, and full
prices are obtained ;
but, at Huddersfield, transactions have been restricted, although
prices have not varied to any important extent. It is stated that
it is only with difficulty that manufacturers can keep their mills
fairly employed, profits being just uow d:lficult to make. At
Nottingham, a quieter feeling has been apparent in the lace trade,
but former prices have been steadily supported.
At Dundee,
business has been quiet in almost every department, and there
seemed to be little prospect of any alleviation from the depression
existing in the depart ment for jute and jute goods.

Market.—The gold market has hardly shown as
much excitement and activity as last week, and rates on
gold
loans have been lower.
After ruling firmly in the early part,
price of gold dropped off on Wednesday to il-W, but stifagain yesterday to 110 and closed strong at that figure.
It4|was staled that a broker representing the gold clique bid 116
in,the Gold Boom, just at the close on Thursday, for any part of
$0,000,000, which was possibly done as a good basis on which to
start business to-morrow, the Gold Board
having adjourned over
to-day. Among the things suggested as helping the bull party
at this time is the
expiration ot considerable amounts of time
loans on gold, which the lenders will be inclined to call in unless
a
higher rate is paid for renewals. On gold loans the rates had
been easier till Thursday afternoon, when there was a
sharp
turn; in the morning loans were made “flat,” 1 per cent, for
cany ing, 1-04 for use till Saturday, but later, after ClearingHouse hours, rates advanced, and as high as 4 por cent, was paid
for use till
Saturday.
Time loans of gold were previously
quoted as follows for use: Thirty days, £ ; sixty days, 1 ; ninety
days, 14; four months, 1}; all year, 2Cd2}.
Customs receipts for the week have been $2,741,000.

gold and

pointed to consider the proposition in regard to funding the past,

The committee, consisting of David

which we take the following, as printed in the iV. T. Tribune:
First—That the first mortgage land grants are secured in addition to the

Pacific Railroad.— A W ashington despatch says that the
Att’ydirected the proper District Attorneys to institute suits
against several of the Pacific, railroads for the amount due the
Government, as 5 pi r cent, of their respective net earniDgs. The
General
pects under the change of management since the default in paying interest of
January 1, they find the fact to be that the portion of road alluded to is,
mainlv. if not entirely, dependent upon its connections at. either end, and
upon which its business as a paying road must mainly rely for its income;
other interests might, if not in harmony and cooperating with the land-grant
bondholders, put themselves in antagonism, and thereby the first mortgage
land-grant bondholders, incase of foreclosure, would own a road with only
local Business on whic^ to depend, and with no certain connections at either
end of it; therefore, in the language of the President’s statement as pre¬
sented—“the enforce "• nt of the lieu of either would not only be ruinous to
those so seeKiug to enforce it, but would be disastrous to the others.”
Third They find that the original amount of land-grant mortgage ’ onds
issued was $4,000,000, of which $181,500 have been retired and cancelled, ac¬
cording to the deed of trust, by the sale of lands and roce pts therefor: tha:
the sum of $1:33,000 has been also received from sales of land and used in the
general funds of the Company, and this amountmust be refunded and ap.Iie i
t.tm spec al trust.
Fourth—Your Committee find that the floating debt has hi eu contracted for,
and the moneys p lid for interest not earned, and for engines, cars., mid im¬
provements in common with the original line of roau, from Tomah i> Hudson,
and there ore a fore Insure of either bonds would involve interminable legal
questions as to the equity of each interest iu rolling stock, etc.
Fifth—So far as the first land grant mortgage is concerned, the fact that,
until 1884, if the property remains in the hands of the present Company, the
lands by law are exempt from taxation but in atse of foreclosure this exemp¬
tion would he forfeited.
Sixth—That in view of the foregoing your Committee wou'd recommen ! the
plan proposed by the Company of funding mill coupons: as presented by t ie
President in his statement of March 17, and regard it, if carried out, as the
best for ah parties intereste i, as it d ies not, in any way change the securities
of the various bondhold* rs.
to
~
After considerable debate, in which some of the bondholders
desired the postponement of the consideration of the report, it
was finally adopted, and a number of the bondholders subscribed
to the scheme lor funding;.

parts of the North and West, and another fall of snow having
taken place. Obstructions to transportation) caused by the recent
floods, have also been only partially removed. Hence the revival
of spring trade continues to be delayed, and the apprehension begins
to be expressed that the delay will prove disastrous to many
branches of business. As we write, accumulations of ice, suffi¬
cient to greatly obstruct the passage of loaded vehicles, remain
in many of our streets, and the ground is covered with snow all
The course of exchange has been more favorable to

'shippers, and ocean freights remain low ; there is, besides, con¬
siderable speculative feeling in leading staples.
There has been a renewal of speculation in hog products, with
mess pork for May up to $21, and lard for the same delivery at
14 7 10c.
Bacon and cut meats have also continued to show au
upward tendency, and the business has been large in pickled
hams and bellies.
There was, however, some reaction in pork
and lard from the above prices, but the close was pretty firm,
with good export demand at $20 65(3)$20 75 for mess pork, and
14!@14fc. for lard, Apiil and May delivery. Beef has been more
active, but at some decline. Tallow has been active, and prime

These New Orleans exports are ouly for six days.
t The exports this week under the head of “other ports” include from Boston
to Liverpool; from Philadelphia 15 bales to Liverpool.
2,197 bales
Our
telegram from New Orleans to-night shows that
the amount of cotton on shipboard, aud
engaged for shipment at that port, is as follows: For Liverpool,
29,000 bales; for Havre, 33,000 bales ; for Continent, 9,500 bales ’»
for coastwise ports, 3,000 bales; total, 74,500 bales ; which, if de¬
ducted from the stock, would leave 134,500 bales
representing the
quantity at the landing and in presses unsold or awaiting orders.]
From the foregoing statement, it will be seen that, compared
with the corresponding week of last season, there is a decrease
in the exports this week of 29,419 bales, while the stocks to¬
night are 13,347 bales less than they were at this time a year
ago. The following is our usual table showing the movement
of cotton at all the ports from Sept. 1 to March 19, the latest mail

but bsrely marked.
Magpie Brown, bark (Br.), Swan, which arrived at Liverpool March 15 from
Charleston, before reported, has been damaged by collision.
Narragansrtt, bark, Hamlin, from Charleston Feb. 22 .for Liverpool, put

gate March 8, with loss of fore and main topsails and leaky, and reports :
On Feb. 15 carried away mainyard, maintopsailyard and foretopsailyard.
On March 5, being in Mount’s Bay, with thick weather, had lo carry a
heavy press of canvas to get off a lee shore, and in doing so sprung fare

weather, the vessel was found to be in a dangerous position among the
Goodwin Sands, and took assistance from a boat to get into safety.

especially in the low grades, the supply of which has been mate¬
rially increased.
Arrivals of common extras are also freer, and,
although generally well held, sales are made at irregular prices.
High grades of family brands have also sold lower. Wood baker’s
and trade brands have met with a steady demand at firm prices,
in the range of $5 75@6 50.
Rye flour and. corn meal have been
without decided change, but rather more firmly held towards the
close. The receipts of flour at the West continue much smaller
than last year. The increase here is due to the arrival of lots that
had been detained. Foreign advices are dull, but the market for
exchange is more favorable to shippers, and ocean freights have
continued to rule comparatively low.
Yesterday, there was a
fair business in the better shipping grades at full prices, but low
grades dull, and the market generally quiet.
The wheat market has been variable, but latterly active and
On Wednesday, there were large sales of No. 2 Chicago

Winter at $1 28@1 30, and white has brought £s high as $1 40.
There is much speculation at the West, based on the very late
season—the ground being frozen to a great depth and covered
with snow, which Das fallen in the past week.
This threatens a

particulars of leading articles of domestic
manufacture,our pricos quoted being those of leading jobbers:
package trade. Reports from local and out of town jobbers
indicate a gradual reduction of their stocks, but there are still
enough goods left from their early purchases to supply their cur¬
rent wants, and they are buying very sparingly.
The few days we
have had, which really approached to anything like spring weather
the past two weeks, have been the means of developing a little
more trade in second
bands, as they have caused an influx of
buyers from near-by cities and towns ; but the country roads are
still too much blockaded to admit of a very rapid improvement
in distribution in the interior.
The weather, too, is so variable
that this influence, as far as it goes, is fitful, and the aggregate
sales of the week do not foot up so satisfactorily as has been
expected at this period. The production is increased somewhat
in some sections of New England, and this fact gives a more
regular tone to prices on such goods as have heretofore been sell¬
ing on orders at values to be established when the deliveries were
