had hardly stopped to consider how large was the amount of
the banking capital represented here by foreign agencies,
and still less to inquire into the cause of its presence.
Probably the nominal total now equals the whole home
banking capital of the city, and its standing here is largely
due to the oppressive and illegal taxes which for so many
years have been enforced against our own banks, keeping
them from all natural growth and actually putting many
out of existence.
There was, consequently, a necessity for
more banking facilities, and fortunately foreign capital
came in to supply the place thus made vacant by our tax
laws.
But the work of extinguishing banks by taxation
was, as we have stated, comparatively a slow process when

The money market has presented a steady appearance duriner
the week, and there has not been much variation in the rates of
discount. The fortnightly settlement on the Stock Exchange
has caused a little more animation in the demand for accommodation, and the payment of a large sum of money into the
£ank of England by Messrs. Rothschild in connection with
Egyptian finance has restricted the supply in the open market
and has given the Bank of England more control over it. It is
unquestionably the fa«t that there are no present indications
of a return to very easy rates of money. Some are, indeed,
looking forward to a higher range in the quotations at an early
date, and most persons are confident that there will be no decline
from the rates now current. There is a very general demand
for money, and although the summer months are usually characterized by a certain degree of inactivity, the probability is
that the steady development of onr commerce, and of general
enterprise, will continue to eieri; its influence in monetary
circles, and will enable capitalists to obtain better terms.
The
additional inquiry for money is undoubtedly of a very healthy

Messrs. Hambro & Sons have introduced a Norwegian loan
for £1,156,000, of which £381,000 are now offered for public subscription. The price of subscription is £97 10s. for each £100
stock, the rate of interest being 4 per cent per
object of the loan
is
to
redeem the
4^
annum.
The
per cent loans issued in
1858 and 1863, and partly for other State requirements, including a further contribution to the Norwegian Mortgage Bank.
The next series of sales of colonial wool are announced to
commence on the 20th inst. The arrivals amount to about
320,000 bales, and it is expected that about 350,000 bales will be
brought forward.
The weather has been very favorable for the young crops
during the week. There has been a copious fall of rain, which
was much needed, and the last two days have been warm and
genial. Vegetation is making, therefore, good progress, and
there is an increasing belief in an improved agricultural future.
Very scanty supplies of home-grown produce have been oa
but there is a fair show of foroffer throughout the country
eign produce. Buyers operate with caution, and as prices continue to give way in New York the tendency is downwards on
this side. The movement is, however, a very slow one, owing
to the small quantities of English wheat offering.
On the Stock Exchange, during the week, business has been
somewhat irregular, but, on the whole, firm. This was especially the case early in the week ; but the uncertainty of the
money market has lately induced operators to be more cautions.
Egyptian bonds have attracted considerable attention, it having
been officially announced that all points of difficulty between
Messrs. Rothschild and the Egyptian Government have been

Only a few elections have now to be held in the more dislant
parts of the country, and these will have no effect upon theg(Mi(>ral result. The Liberal party has undoubtedly succeeded beyond
its own anticipations.
It has a substantial majority, without
reckoning upon the support fif the Home Rulei-s, and tliis f.i<;t
has had the etfect of promoting confidence amongst most
classes of the community. The reason for such a change in
the opinions of the electoral body is now the subject of much
discussion, and the more general conclusion arrived at is that
years of depression in trade have led the woi'king classes,
whose votes have, a great preponderating influence, to desire a
change, hoping it may bring about some advantage to them.
The change would probably therefore have occurred, whether
the Government had been Whig or Tory. Those who, though
Liberals, have given their support to the Government policy will
now be desirous of knowing what is the process by which the
end sought by the present Government could have been
attained by the Liberals". The opposition has been on several
occasions hardly pressed for an answer to this question but,
excepting the trite reply of an eminent member of the House
" that's tellings," no re.sppnse has been given. Mr. Gladstone
and several other leading statesmen are anxions now that the
past should be forgotten, and are desirous of convincing their
supporters of the need of legislation for the future. We are

passed at Albany proposing to tax such capital employed in

The
immigrants landed at the port of New York in the month of
April have numbered about 50,000, the largest of any month in
the history of the port. The Bureau of Statistics at Washington has just issued the figures showing the commerce of the
United States for the month of March, and for the nine months
ending March 31, 1880. During March the imports of merchandise amounted to $70,992,000, against $41,856,000 for the
corresponding month of 1879. The exports were also very large,
the total of merchandise being $77,350,000, compared with $66,«
154,000 in March, 1879. The imports (not including specie) from
July 1, 1879, to March 31, 1880, amount to $468,200,000, against

Leaving a surplus of net revenue for the year of
$52,81 X
This surplus, together with other cash assets, has beea
absorbed by payment for new equipment.
The report of twelve months' business of the road is given
for convenience in making comparison. In reality, the present
Kansas City Fort Scott & Gulf Railroad Company has had but
a nine- months' existence, commencing with April 1, 1879. The
net revenue of the land department during the nine months of
1879 was $33,545, and, as none of it was required for pavment of
interest on the first mortgage bonds, this amount lias been
turned over to the trustees in conformity with the terms of the
mortgage, and enough cash advanced to them from the land
receipts of 1880 to enable them to make their first advertisement for the purchase of bonds under the sinking fund provision of the mortgage. As to the bonds and stock of other

In the halfyear to £11,831, against £15,462, showing an improvement
of £3,630. The working of the Detroit Grand Haven & Milwaukee Railway Company has been satisfactory. From Nov.
15, 1878, when the interest on the bonds of the Detroit Grand
Haven & Milwaukee Company commenced, to December 31,
1879, a period of thirteen and a half months, the revenue, after
providing for interest on all of the bonds guaranteed by this
company, and funds for renewal of permanent way and rollingstock, exhibits a surplus of $50,557. This amount, from which
a dividend will be payable in respect of the share capital held
by this company, is not available for the past half-year.

from the Receiver, certificates for $25,197 were issued. It is a

between the city of Boston; the Boston Water Power Company

the trustees accomplwhed a very important work in releasing the underlying mortgages held by the Boston Five
Cents Savings Bank. In June last the city took the deed of an
additional parcel for the park, containing 77,987 feet, which
was paid to the bank for the mortgages. There yet remain
other lands within the park which will bo conveyed to the city.
The event of the greatest importance during the year was the'
settlement in full of all differences between Mr. Matthews and
others. The jjapei's were signed January 22, these parties receiving $200,000 in bonds of the company and $30,000 in cash.
A full and complete release was given of all matters of difference in litigation or otherwise. By this settlement the bonded
debt was fixed at $2,148,000, and limited to that sum by the
cancellation of ,*427,000 of bonds, and an agreement was made
to destroy $225,000 in 1880.
The $30,000'paid in cash is in
addition to the floating debt, and steps should be taken for its
payment. It will be impossible to meet it by sales, and it is
recommended that 3,000 new shares be issued, which the parties to the agreement are ready to take in payment at the rate
of $Vi per share: $5,000,000 can be realized on the company's
property, enabling it to pay its bonds and leave an equity on

this, the ordinary stock po8.se8ses the entire reversion to the
Cleveland

The revenue of the company is secure beyond the po.s^ibility
of failure. It Is a rent charge upon the best-paying portion of
the Atlantic
Great Western system, and it w a charge which
comes before the prior lien bonds, which are now about par.
At the present time the ordinary shares, carrying a dividend,
secared on a rent-charge, of 2>i per cent, with a certainty of
increasmg to 4 per cent in 1885, can now be purcha-sed at 48.

Atlantic & Great Western.— The London Rnlway News
gives the following editorial comments on the Atlantic & Great
Western First Leased Lines Rental Trust (Limited) " A scheme
of reorganization of what has hitherto been known as ' The
Leased Lines Rental Trust, 1872,' has been completed by the
formation of a. limited liability company with the above" title.
There are some advantages resulting from this change which
do not appear to be very generally appreciated. The Trust, as
originally formed, consisted of £1,100,000 bonds, bearing 7 per
cent interest, secured npon the rent payable by the Atlantic &
Great Western in respect of the Cleveland & Mahoning Railway's portion of that system. The coupons thus secured have
been duly paid up to July, 1876. Consequent upon the reorganization of the Atlantic & Great Western Company, it has
been deemed desirable to enter into new leases, and the rentals
to be paid under these are to be collected and distributed by
the company which has recently been formed. The rent to be
paid for the six years ending 1884 is £55,000, after which it is
to be increased to £66,000. The bonds of the original Trust at
resent outstanding amount to £1,074,000. The new company
E
as been formed with a nominal capital of £1,611,000, which
consists of £805,500 of debentures and an equal amount of
ordinary stock. In exchange for each bond of $1,000, or £200,
the holder has received £150 of debentures and £150 of ordinary stock. The debentures bear 4 per cent interest. Tlie
rent to be paid for the next five years is £55,000, and this will
provide 4 per cent on the debentures and leave available a sum
of £22,780 for the ordinary shares, which is equal to 2^ per
cent.
With the increase to £66,000, the revenue will be sufficient to give 4 per cent to the ordinary as well as to the debentures. There are some other sources of revenue which will
also come in aid of the dividends on the ordinary stock. Among
others, a saving which may be effected by the issue of four per
cent debentures to pay off the present seven per cent bonds of
the Cleveland & Mahoning Company, and which would be equal

Georgia State Bonds. The State Treasurer of Georgia has
issued a notice to holders of 4 per cent bonds of the State that
will redeem $250,000 of them at par, upon presentation at
the State Treasury, or at the National Park Bank in this city.
Of this the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph and Neica says
" It seems that Mr. Konfroe. tlnding that tlie assets in ready money of
tlie State would exceed l>v at Irast $J50,000 tlif sums whioli hud lieen
appropriated l)y tlic Legislature, iu a note to tlie Goveruur said
"

now outstanding can at oiv>c be redeemed at par, and, iierhiips, some

tho 4 per cents will save the State if6,000 per unnnui until tfieir maturity, flvo years henep, thus saving to the St«te $30,000.'
'•
In accordance with this suggestion, Governor Colquitt issued the following notice

cities, like those of other States, rushed headlong into local
improvement regardless of expense. From 1872 to 1876 inclusive the indebtedness of cities of the first and second classes
increased several million dollars annually, and the reports for
the latter year show the aggregate to have reached $30,518,503.

Orleans City Bonds.— At
New
Orleans, April 27,
Judge
Billings, of the United States Circuit Court, granted an injunction restraining the City Council from modifying the budget
so as to strike out the $300,000 set aside in the December
budget for redeeming premium bonds and paying the interest
on them ; also from refusing premium bonds drawn in payment
of all dues.
—The Publie says editorially
:
"
New
.
Orleans
is
in difflcultjy.
The rapid and sudden fall in the price of its premium bonds,
which had been growing in favor for some months prior to the
adjournment of the Legislature, gave warning that there was
some serious mischief afoot, and the explanation now appears
in the New Orleans journals. The Legislature, it is stated,
passed an act prohibiting the city from collecting during the
year 1880 a tax of more than ten mills for any purpose whatever. But the premium bond act of 1876 obliged the city to
in cities of $36,036,069. In the incorporated villages the indebtedness yearly increased about $300,000 from 1872 to 1879, while
the debts of townships during the same period fell from $447,238 to $161,321. This moderation, however, only prevailed in
the small villages and townships of the State. In the largest
cities debts were accumulated with such supreme indifference
that the total local indebtedness of the State in 1879 amounted
to 141,490,574. The great bulk of this increase was in the
large cities, chiefly in Cincinnati, where the Southern Railroad
was built, involving an expenditure of about $17,000,000 in round
numbers. The construction of this road by bonds issued by the
city of Cincinnati was the first great step taken on the road to
municipal indebtedness. Before that tlie Legislature seldom
granted to a municipality the power to tax itself to construct a
railroad. But the Cincinnati Southern opened the way, and
lobbies thronged the State Capital at every session, asking
authority to levy special taxes for some local purpose. The
session which just closed passed a number of such bills. The
first was to enable Lima, Ohio, to levy a tax and issue bonds to
build machine shops. Then the Cincinnati Southern appeared
in the Legislature again, asking permission to levy a tax of
1300,000 for terminal facilities. This petition was granted, and
and was immediately followed by a grist of bills enabling cities
and villages «to levy a tax to build a railroad and leaseor operate
the same.' In nearly every bill an amendment was incorporated requiring that the question be submitted to a vote of
the people, and that no tax should be levied unless two-thirds
of the people favored it. It now rests with the people to
determine whether they will tax themselves or not. It is to be
hoped that many of the propositions will be voted down."
levy a tax of fifteen mills, of which five mills were to be applied
to the interest and the ultimate redemption of the bonded debt.
Such a tax was devised by the city councU in December, in the
assumption that its right to do so would not be disturbed or

suffice to carry on the city government, and that a revision of
the budget will be made in compliance with the ten-mill act,
leaving the public creditors without any provision whatever for

of the new act is disputed, and is to be tested in the courts.
Some assert that the Legislature must have intended to limit
only the tax in excess of that required by the contracts with
public creditors, and that a tax of ten mills besides the interest
and redemption tax of five mills can lawfully and should be

adhere to its position, and will refuse to levy a tax of more

dends which occurred up to the time of the sale. The defendants demurred to the complaint, contending that each stockholder, when he sold his stock, relinquished all claim to dividends by not especiallv reserving them, and that no present
stockholders were entitled to the entire amount of dividends.
The demurrer was sustained. Justice Barrett, in his opinion,says:
"The case is not at all like ordinary or even preferred stock transferred after the declaration of a dividend, nor is it analogeus to
those cases where the contract itself is ef^nivalent to such a
declaration. One reason why declared dividends do not pass
with a transfer of the shares is that the act of the trustees in
declaring the dividend implies the taking out of the a-ssets of
the company, and the setting apart of tlie required amount.
A severance is thus effected, and the right to share in the
Amount thus set apart vests. Bat here there was no such setting apart ; in fact no act of the company, and consequently no
severance.
The right to demand the interest may have
a,ttached, but only as an incident and in the sense to which we
have referred, farther, there cannot be the slightest doubt as
to the intentions of the parties where, as here, an unconditional transfer of the preferred stock has been made. No one
would probably be more surprised than the transferrer to
learn that he had reserved these semi-annual interest payExpression should be given to this intention as
ments.
evidenced by the instrument whereby the transfer was effected.
Here there was no reservation upon the face of the instrument,
and certainly there was no such reservation dehort. The conclusion is irresistible, both from the certificate Itself, the nature
of the original transaction, and the understanding as to subsequent transfers. The interest in question has never been
detached or severed in any manner. It therefore, under all
the special circumstances of this particular case, passed to the
present holders as an incident to the shares. There must be
judgment for the defendants on the demurrer, with costs'."

Tennessee State Railroad Bonds. Argument in the test
case on the lien of the bonds issued by the State of Tennessee
on the railroads built in part by the proceeds of those bonds,
•was begun in the United States Circuit Court in NashvUle,
April 27.
Township Bonds. The Missouri Republican, reviewing the
United States Supreme Court decisions, recently said
an
editorial that the third decision by the United States Supreme
Court on the subject of Missouri township bonds, somewhat impatiently awaited for two years, was rendered in a case taken up
from Pike County, and it affirms the Court's second decision, holding that township bonds are valid and binding, and must be paid.
All the township railroad bonds in the State of Missouri were
issued under the " Township Aid Act," authorizing such issues.
This act appeared to be in violation of the State constitution,
and in the Mount Pleasant (Bates County) case, which
went up to the United States Supreme Court, about five years
ago, it was so declared. The holders of township bonds, not
satisfied with this, took up another ca.se from Cass County, and
asked for a rehearing. It was granted, and on the second
trial the Court reversed its Bates County decision, and declared
that the "Township Aid Act" was not invalid, fortifying its new
•decision with what it claimed were the rulings of the State Supreme Court on the same question. Subsequently, the State
Supreme Court positively denied that its rulings possessed
such a meaning, and, in a case brought bafore it, decided plainly
and emphatically that the "Township Aid Act" wai unconstitutional. As the United States Court has avowed the rule of being
g:ovemed by the decisions of a State Supreme Court on all questions arising under its constitution, a third case, that of Cuivre
Township, from Pike County, was taken up, in the expectation
that the United States Supreme Court would adopt the last decision made by the Supreme Court of the State and thus put the
question at rest forever. But the United States Court declined to
do this. It recognizes its general obligation to follow the constitutional decisions of the Missouri Supreme Court, but declares
—
—
m
that the rights of parties in the present litigation are to
be determined by the law as it was judicially construed
by the State Court at the time when the bonds in question were
§ut on the market. " At that time," say the Court, " the State
upreme Court held, and had repeatedly held, that the 'Township Aid Act' was constitutional. It now thinks that act is un-
constitutional. This Court is of the opinion that it is not bound
to adopt the latest ruling of the Supreme Court of Missouri, if,
by such adoption, the rights which have become reeled nnder
an earlier ruling are to b« injuriously affected."

The Maverick National Bank of Boston, whose card will be
found on the first page of the Chkonicle, has been one of the
most prominent of Eastern institutions in the large operations
attending the funding of Government bonds. Or the regnlar
business of this bank the Boston Olobe remarks " One strong
feature of the conservative management of the Maverick is
shown by the fact that the larger part of its business has been
the loaning of money on solid securities and discounting for
out-of-town banks, taking business paper endorsed by the
banks.
The wisdom and success of this policy' has been
particularly demonstrated during the five or sir years of
the late depression, which thoroughly tested all business mlea
and the strong or weak points of all financial institutions. During this trying period the surplus of the Maverick has increased
from a little over $100,000 to more than its present capital, and
the stock has risen from $120 to $200 per share."
One of the most conservative and at the same time most promising of railroad enterprises, among th'ase on a moderate scale, is
the Houston East & West Texas Rll. The road runs in a northeasterly direction from Houston, and has already over 60 milea
in operation, on which the earnings are $8,500 per month and
the operating expenses only 30 per cent of gross earnings. The
authorized issue of 20-year 7 per cent gold bonds on this narrow
gauge road is only $7,000 per mile, and much less than the f uU
amount has yet been issued, as the surplus net earnings build
about 25 miles per year. Mr. A. E. Hachfield, 17 Nas.sau Street,
has a limited amount of these bonds for sale, and will give fuU
information in regard to the enterprise.
—The firm of Sand Brothers & Co., bankers and brokers, of
54 Wall Street, have the following partners, viz.: Mr. Theodore
V. Sand, late of Sand, Hamilton & Co., Mr. Max E. Sand, for
the past ten years well known in the tea bnsine&s, and Mr.
Edward A. Petit, a member of the New I'ork Stock Exchange.
The members of this house have a high standing both in business and social circles, and have every prospect of a large and
growing business.
We present in our advertising columns of this issue the statement of several of our most prominent and strongest national
banks, among which will be found the names of the Metropolitan.
American Exchange, Continental, Bank of New Y'ork and Third
National Bank. These institutions are, as a rule, increasing their
gold reserves, and the better business of the present year
will enable them, we believe, to increase their dividends.
Messrs. J. H. Latham & Co., 52 William Street.^are offering
to investors a limited amount of the Cook County (Illinois) 4^
per cent twenty-year bonds. These bonds are Lssued in place
of seven per cent bonds, which are falling due. The success of
the negotiation of the five per cent bonds last year now selling
at 106— indicates the high credit of the county, and bespeaks
an early sale of the bonds offered.
Special attention is called to the card of Mr. Robert Murdoch, commission merchant, found in another column. This

strength, the next being weakened by accounts of the planting of
a greatly-increased acreage for the next crop, and favorable
weather for germinating the seed and giving the young plant a

Yesterday the opening was lower, but the decline was
soon recovered and finally there was some advance on the closing
figures of Wednesday, leading holders having again come forward in support of the market. To-day the opening was lower,
but the close was at some further advance. Cotton on the spot
has been moderately active for export, with a fair spinning demand. Quotations were advanced 1-lOc. on Monday; on Thursday an early decline of l-16c. was recovered. To-day white
cotton was unchanged, but stained l-lGc.@ic. lower.

Rbckipts from the Plantations.— The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are sometimes misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another, at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the foUowing.
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of tb at part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the outports.

advanced to unreasonably high figures some time ago. Print
cloths continued dull at a further decline, and the market
closed nominal at 4M@5c. for 64x64s and i%@4)4:C. for 56x60s.
Prints were very quiet in first hands, and while agents' prices
were unchanged, some standard and 56x60 makes (controlled
by jobbers)- were reduced to 6^e. and 5Mc., respectively,without giving the desired impetus to their distribution. Lawns,
jaconets, wide prints, ginghams and cotton dress goods were
in moderate request and steady in price.
Domestic Woolen Goods. There was an irregular and, on the
whole, sluggish demand for men's-wear woolens, and transactions were light in the aggregate. There was, however, a fair
movement in fancy cassimeres, cheviot suitings, worsted coatings, overcoatings, &c., in execution of former orders, and
stocks are so well in hand that prices ruled firm on all fabrics
of a strictly desirable' character. Kentucky jeans were veryquiet, and satinets were in limited request; but leading makes
ruled fairly steady in price. For flannels and blankets the
demand was of strictly moderate proportions, but the supply is
in such good shape that prices are firmly maintained. Worsted
dress goods were in light request, and shawls remained quiet.
Transactions in carpets were chiefly confined to making deliveries on account of old orders, but prices ruled firm and
unchanged.
FoEEioN Dry Goods. There was a very moderate inquiry for
imported goods at first hands, and the jobbing trade was less
active than of late.
Silks were quiet, but there was a steady
demand for black and colored satins. Dress goods moved
