when we shall come to silver mono-metallism, our entire currency in use then having the value and power of sOver and no
more, is only a question of time. As things stand, we shall
come to that whenever we shall have coined enough of standard
silver dollars to do all our coin work
when silver shall be tendered to the public creditor and for private debts, and our gold
shall have gone where it will have a higher value.

of gold continue to arrive and are sent into the Bank of Eng^land.
This week the Bank has gained a sum amounting to
^254,566, increasing the total supply to £33,770,805, which is an
^augmentation of £11,000,000 compared •with last year. There
has also been a contraction of the note circulation, and the
total reserve has been raised by £646,641, or to £19,738,155,
which compares with £10,050,547 in 1878. The proportion of
reserve to liabilities amounts to 50'19 per cent, against 49'41 per

The rates of discount are now so very low that the banks find
difficult to employ deposits profitably.
The bank rate will
not be reduced below 2 per cent, ai it is not customary to do so;
but it was quite clear that the rates of interest for deposits
could not be maintained. This course has been adopted very
frequently of late, and, having proved advantageous, the managers and directors of the various banks and discount houses
have decided to-day on allowing until further notice only

be entertained is fixed at £97 per cent. The money is required

also stated that the revenue of the Cape Colony has more than

This week, the Chilian Government has given notice that it is not in a position to continue the payment of the sinking fund on the public debt.
Chilian stock has, in consequence, experienced a heavy fall, and
other South Amencan securities have been adversely affected.
The Khedive of Egypt has also obtained some sort of triumph,
and Mr. Rivei-s Wilson has been instructed to return to his
duties in London. Having, in consequence of the interest which
the Western Powers of Europe have taken in the present and
future of Egypt, obtained a loan on easy terms through Messrs.
Rothschild, the Khedive casts his friends adrift, with what
result remains to be seen. One thing is certain that although
he may oppress the fellaheen, and possibly pay for a time the
full interest of his debts, he has materially damaged his credit.
Oppression cannot bring prosperity.
On the motion of Mr. Rylands, the question of the national
expenditure has been discussed in the House of Commons this
week, and the debate will be resumed by Mr. Goschen on. Monday, Mr. Gladstone being expected to take part in it. The
Right Hon. W. H. Smith spoke for the Government this week
and alluded to the fact that the outlay for the army and navy
had not increased in anything like the proportion to the ContiIt was contended that although a larger

military and naval expenditure had been necessary, the increased

There is only a trifling demand for gold for export, and the

Sheboyifnn & Fond Dn Lac. The President, Mr. A. G. Rnghas issued a circular to the bondholders, in which he says
that the only way out of the trouble is to extend the road first
to the Wisconsin Central road, a distance of 18 miles, and thence
to Camp Douglass, the point of divergence of the Chicago &
Northwestern, the Chicago St. Paul & Minneapolis, and the
Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul roads, a total of 58 miles from
the present terminus. To accomplish this, he proposes the sn rrender of one-half of the bonds and of all past due coupon-s on the
bonds retained, and to fund the next nine coupons, except three of
them to be paid in cash ; preferred stock to be given for the
aggregate of bonds and coupons so surrendered; the holders of
the old issue of 7 per cent bonds to exchange them for new.
This would leave a bonded indebtedness of $800,000—$425,000
at 8 per cent and $375,000 at 7 per cent. To raise the funds
necessary to put in the proposed hnk of 18 miles, it is proposed
to place $360,000 first mortgage 8 per cent bonds as collateral
for the $140,000 required ; notes to be given for that sum for
ten years at 7 per cent.

Our local money market remains quite easy, and an abundance of money is offered on call at 3 per cent on government collaterals, and at2J@4per cent en stock collaterals. Prime commercial paper is readily taken at 4@5 per cent, and there is but a
small supply offering. The failure of a well-known dry goods
firm this week had little effect on the market.
The Bank of England statement on Thursday showed a decline

" This reduction was accomplished notwithstanding the great,
increase 24 per cent in tonnage, requiring -an increaso ia
freight train mileage of 12 per cent. At the same time tho
property was not only fully maintained, but considerably
improved." A great part of the difference here shown i»
accounted for in the item of steel rails alone, as the expenditure
on this account was $708,281 in 1877 and $279,003 in 1878.
The report says in conclusion " The year 1879 opened with
the road practically blockaded by an unprecedented fall of
snow, covering New York and New England.
While thi.s
resulted in a neavy decrease in earnings in January, the first
quarter of the year shows a small increase in gross earnings,
.518,000, and a decrease in operating expenses of $12,000, making
an increase in net earnings of $30,000."

From
the balance for 1878, there was paid $200,000 for a
subscription for that amount of the stock of the Pittsburg &
l./ake trie Railroad Company and $80,000 for lands in Chicago.
The fonner was to aid in the construction of a line from Pittsburg by way of Youngstown, running over the Mahoning Coal
Railroad, leased by this company, and reaching the company's
line at Ashtabula and the water front and docks at Ashtabula
Harbor, which it is supposed will contribute largely to this
company's 'tiarffic.
The land at Chicago was considered

in the income balance is $101,201, being the amount of the
items of construction and surplus, less the item charged off, as
stated. As the surplus appearing above is just about equal to
the balance herein shown for the first half of the year, it may

The amount brought forward from the preceding half-year,

of £14,992, a total of £17,^90, out of which a dividend for the
half-year at the rate of £1 per cent per annum on the first
preference stock has been paid, absorbing £16,090 and leaving
£1,299 to be carried to the next half-yearns account. The gross
receipts for the half-year (after deduction of discount on
American currency) were less than in 1877 by £101,226, or 9-87
per cent. The working expenses, including renewals, amounted
to £708,757. or 76-70 per cent, against a total charge of £769,160.
or 75-02 per cent in 1877, showing a decrease of £60,402, or 7'85
per cent, against the above decrease in the receipts of 9-87 per
cent. The charges for maintenance and renewals of road and
rolling stock compare with 1877 as foUows:
"As the bonds of the companj-, and those assumed by it,
become due, a considerable reduction in the rate of interest can
be made. Except on its consolidated mortgage bonds, due in
1902, which are at seven per cent, all the bonds issued or

of the eight per cents wUl mature during the next five years."

result of the half-year's working is, therefore, less
than that of the corresponding half-year by £21,177, but compared with the half-year ended January 31, 1877, there is an
improvement of £62,075. The transfers to the various reserve
funds have this half-year been credited on a revised basis.
From the surplus of £29,199 the directors recommend the
declaration of a diridend on the preference stock for the entire

commenct^d the work of construction. Our posseiwion wa»
disputed for a time by the Denver & Rio Grande Itailwajr

work on the new line has steadily progressed. On the Ist

§>259,747, have been cancelled.
1,282,046 acres of Government land, tributary to the line of
our road, were taken up by settlers in 1878. Eighty per cent
of these were taken outside of the limits of the land grant, and
the balance within limits of grajit in western part of Ford and
in Foote counties. In addition to the Government land, there
were taken about 7.5,000 acres school lands and 267,282 acres
raih'oad land, making a total of 1,624,328 acres taken. This is
equal to 10,000 new farms, and a farming population of 50,000

LAND commissioner's REPORT.
Mr. A. 8. Johnson, the land commissioner, reports for the
year ending Dec. 31, 1878, as follows:
:
-
Total
$708,273 $775,821
The earnings show a total decrease of $25,268 in 1878, as
compared with 1877. It will be observed that the entire decrease
is in freight, while the passenger earnings increased $28,021.
The expenditures .show a total decrea.se in expenses of $67,547
in 1878, as compared with 1877.
Net earnings in 1878, $220,027, as against $177,748 in 1877.
Annual rent due to your company, $450,000.
The report says
" The Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad Comp.any, lessee of this portion of your road, defaulted iu ihe payment of the'montlily instalment
of rental, falling due for April, 1878. and subsequent to that time has
dcclineil to pay any rental, except as hereinafter stated. This was the
Hi-st default or di.^tiu'banee of our pleasant relations with the lessee company, and the only excuse assigned for the failure to pay Wiut the alleged
onerous terms of the lease, resulting from Increased^andsh.an) coMipetition, coniliinid with the general depression in business; so, in order to
force your i-omimny into a modiflcation of the lease, the lessee eompativ
refused to pay even the net earnings of your own road on their rental
account. The guarantor cfnupanies also declined to make any payment
under the contract of guaranty, ludesa your comp.any wotdd abate onethird of the annual rental, and accept from them, or the lessee comtwo-thirds

nunum. instead of $430,000 reserved in the lease. They
insisted
upon this redui;tion
upon the theory that of the
thr.ie guarantor parties one (the Indianapolis Cincinnati & Lafajettc
Kailroad Company) was insolvent, and therefore its co-obligors should
pay but one-third each of the leservcd rent. Every expedient was resorted to in order to avoid a legal conflict, until it became apparent that
the policy of the gimr,antor companies, managers and owners of the
lessee company, was to force a modifleation of the tenns of the lease, or
cancel the same, by driving yoiu- Company into b.ankruptcy, by wlthUoldlng the rental, upon wluch we mainly depended for the payment of
the interest on our bonded obligations. This accomplished, and controlling, as they do, the only links of I'O.ad between Terre Haute, the
eastern terminus of jour line, and Indianapolis, your road woidd b(v
come an easy prey. Not being able to defer our interest pfvynients any
longer, eminent counsel were consulted as to our legal rights under the
existing lease, and in accordance witli their joint opinion, a bill in Chancery was filed in the United States Circuit Court lor the District of
Indiana on Oct. 25, 1878, to compel a specifie performance of the lease,
and of the guaranty contracts by the obligors therein. The bill being
Hied, a motion was made bj- plaintiff to require the lessee company to
pay 30 per cent of the gro.ss earnings of your road into court, and'the
merits of the case were then fully argued by eminent counsel on both
sides. The suit was retained and the motion granted. Accordingly, a
rule was entered aad served upon the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad Company, requiring the pajment into court monthly of 30 per cent
of the gross eanungs of your leased road, under the lease, aud the same
luis been complied with, from the date of the order, to wit from the
2Bth day of October, 1 878. Bj' the same order, the guarantor com])anies

The above totals show that the old interior stocks have
decreased during the week 3,443 bales, and are to-night 3.883
bales more than at the same period last year.
1 Lt receipts at the
game towns have been 913 bales less i\\a.n the same week last
year.
Receipts from the Plantations.— The following table
is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the out ports 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 following:

the leading houses, and printed lawns, organdies, dress goods,
met with liberal sales. In foreign goods there was no
movement of importance, and selections were apparently governed by immediate wants. The most important event of the
week was the suspension of Messrs. Whittemore, Peet, Post &
Co., one of the largest woolen goods commission houses in the
Beceipts of Licadlng Articles ot Domestic Produce.
The following table, based upon daily reports made to the
New York Produce Exchange, shows the receipts of leading
articles of domestic produce in New York for the week ending
with Tuesday last (corresponding with the week for exports);
actual condition of the firm has not yet been ascertained, but their liabilities will probably exceed §500,000.

ruled very firm, with a tendency toward still higher figures.
Brown and bleached goods were in steady demand, and nearly
all the best corporation makes are largely sold ahead of production. Wide sheetings were also in fair request, and there

but at
cloths were quoted at 4c. cash, and 56x60s at 3'y^c. cash
the close of the week there were few sellers at these figures.
Prints ruled quiet and ginghams moved slowly, but there was a
satisfactory business in lawns and organdies.
l3oMESTic Woolen Goods. There was an increased inquiry
for heavy woolens by the clothing trade, which resulted in
considerable transactions, and prices were firmly maintained,
owing to the upward tendency of wool. Orders for low and
medium grade heavy fancy ea-ssimeres and suitings
were placed by clothiers to a fair aggregate amount, and
cheviot suitings were sought for in moderate parcels by the
same class of buyei-s. Worsted coatings were in irregular
demand, and on the whole less active than expected, but there
•was a steady movement in rough-faced and plaid-back overcoatings, and eotton-warp beavers were in fair request. Black
cloths and doeskins were lightly dealt in, but leading makes
are firmly held by agents. Kentucky jeans exhibited more
animation, and while low and medium grades were distributed
with some freedom, there was also an improved demand for
heavy doeskins. Satinets were taken in considerable parcels
by clothieis and cloak manufacturers, and the best makes are
more finnly held by agents. Worsted dress goods, plain and
lace buntings, and Shetland and lace shawls, were severally in
steady demand, but selections were mostly restricted to rela-
