This question is
nice and difficult, and, so far as I know, has never been directly

in this case, the only question is as to the power and legal duty

Court denied the mandamus on the ground th.at the
city had no right to borrow under the constitution,
inasmuch as the funded debt of the city was already up
to the extreme limit allowed by the organic law of the
State.
The Court distinctly held, however, that in all
cases where an appropriation was made for a specific
purpose, the city authorities were at liberty, as soon as
the proper tax was levied, and before it was actually
collected, to borrow temporarily any sum not exceeding
the amount of the levy, and to repay these temporary

Stocks Held bt Spinners.— In our Annual Review for the
season ended 30th September last, we showed that English spinners held a surplus stock of 8,000,000 pounds, or 20,000 bales of
400 pounds, on the 30th of September, 1873, against about
34,000,000 pounds, or 85,000 bales, on the 30th of September,
1874; and that Continental spinners held no surplus stock last
September, against 28,000,000 pounds, or 70,000 bales, the year
before.
The consumption for the current season we estimated at
1,265.000,000 pounds for Great Britain, and 937,000,000 pounds
for the Continent.
The actual consumption last season was about

The importance of this tnviaible stock in forecasting
the future, increases in force upon examining the expending or yarn-producing value of this year's supply
of cotton compared with that of last year.
It is probable that supply from India will fall off, say, 250,000
bales ; but that from the United States to Europe can
be increased some 000,000 bales, and from Egypt about
50,000 bales beyond all deficit from other countries.
Egyptian bales average 574 lbs., those of Brazil only
158.
We do not know the average weights of the
American crop of 1875-0, but from partial returns received it looks as if the average would be 15 lbs. per bale,
or more than 3 per cent, more than the crop of 1874-5.
The crop
of 1874-5
was cleaner and of better grade than
—
charactcrbtics of a dry
maturing season. The crop of 1875-6 has a larger portion of low grades and dusty cotton, quite too many
bales described as " dirty ;" but few crops have ever
had such average excellence of staple, the great point of
value in spinning. This, when "waste" in spinning from
all causes is made up at the mills, more than compensates for the greater portion of trash and dust in the crop
of 1875-0, leaving the increased weights a net gain in
expending value equal to 150,000 bales of the average
of 1S74-5. These facts are presented in explanation of
the great difference found by spinners in the average
weights of cotton in the supply of 1876 as compared
with that of 1875, in the statistics above quoted, 7^ per
cent in Great Britain and about 5 per cent on the Continent, and to show that computations of supply and consumption, based on the number of bales only, and not of
usual, but of very poor staple

pounds, will be delusive.
With these explanations, we give the following as our
minimum estimate of supply for the year ending October

supply of bullion is as much as £26,258,087, against £31,623,290
last year; while the reserve of notes and coin amounts to
£13,800,027, against £9,180,760.
At the commencement of the
year the proportion of reserve to liabilities was somewhat under

The large visible supply in the
United States, and the belief that Russia has still a large stock ol
grain available (or exportation, induce millers to operate with
extreme caution, and principally from hand to mouth. The stocks
here are considerable, though they are less than they were.
The return for the week ending April 22, shows that in the 150
principal markets of England and Wales the sales of English
wheat amounted to 37,390 quarters, against 68,744 quarters, the
deficiency being partly due to the fact that in the current year the
holidays had interrupted supplies. In the whole Kingdom it is

Valley (Va.) Railroad. Negotiations have been pending
lately for a lease of the Virginia Valley Railroad to the Shenandoah Valley Koad, or to any one else that wanted it. At a
meeting of the stockholders, held in Alesaudria some months
ago, it was voted to withdraw from the BaKimore & Ohio Railroad Company, and since that time efforts have been made to
lease to anybody, at $30,000 per year, for two years. The Shenandoah Company offered $20,000 a year for fif:een years, but the

Situation. — Quiet
markets, vfith an improved tone in speculative stocks, liave been
the features of the week which has witnessed the opening of the
long-expected Centennial Exposition. There is a rather better
feeling in trade circles, and a hope among railroad stockholders
that the competition between the different trunk lines will not
lead to any additional reductions in the passenger or freight
tariffs.
On another page, in the article on railroad earnings,
reference is made to some of the main points involved in the
Tbe
freight question, and to the present situation of affairs.
Centennial Exhibition has opened auspiciously, and there is
every reason to suppose that it will accomplish all the good in
business circles which has been anticipated for it, by those who
took a rational view of the matter. Receipts for admission on
the first day were $38,066.
The m'oney market has worked easily at 3 to 4 per cent, with
some exceptional transactions at 2i per cent., and the prospect is
considered good for ea^y money during the summer months.
The only disturbing element seen in the future and this is not
imminent is the large amount of greenbacks temporarily
locked up by the deposits of National Banks to withdraw their
own notes from circulation. The legal tenders paid into the
Sub-Treasury on the recent gold sale come out gradually, and in
—
—
week's bank statement the effect of their withdrawal was
shown very clearly. Strictly prime commercial paper is in
demand at 4} to 6 per cent.

With the prospect of easy money ahead, and the necessary demand
for governments from corporations, the leading dealers do not

of the friends of the State anticipate that the finances will be put
in a better condition by the next Legislature, and believe that a
sentiment is growing in the State against repudiation. Missouri
bonds are well held for the longdate issues, and are now selling
at about the best prices of the current year.
Proposals for
$500,000 20-year Georgia 7's will be received at the State
Treasury till June 10, and no bid will be received under par.
Railroad bonds continue to
show a little more activity,
and prices are about steady. The St. Paul and Northwest bonds
are strong, and the Pacifies about steady at their late range.
The wide fluctuations in values of the best stocks known to the
market, and the possibilities of a large increase in the stock and
debt of railroads, wittrotrt corresponding increase in their property such as that which took place iu the case of the Erie
Railway and some other less prominent companies will lead
careful investors to look for the mortgage bonds of companies
having an established traffic and an amount of bonded debt
which their earnings will provide for under any probable contingency. The Erie first five mortgages are strong illustrations of
the soundness of first mortgane bonds, of limited amount,
under the worst misfortunes that can happen to a railroadJL

Railroad and iTEUcellineouii Stoclis. The stock inarket
lias been somewhat variable in tone, but, upon the whole, much
better than last week.
There was a sharp rally iu Michigan
Central from the decline noticed in our last report, and with this
an improvement iu Lake Shore. Western Union Telegraph has
sol-i up to G7|, and closes at a re-action of about 1 per cent
there
have been confident reports that a quarterly dividend of li per
cent woitld be declared in July.
Had the Western Union never
paid more than 1^ per cent quarterly, and carried a large surplus,
there would have been no need of passing any dividend, anil
the company would have had larger resources to keep up its
property and fi.ght opposition. The terms on which control of
the Southern & Atlantic line has been obtained, ha%-e not
yet transpired.
There are no new facts in regard to the
railroad
freight
war,
though
rumors innumerable of
some new reduction have been circulated daily.
The
coal-carrying railroad stocks are stronger to-day, in consequence
of the statement that a meeting of officers yesterday, at
Pottsville, resulted in harmonious action, which will probably
keep up the combination. Railroad earnings for April turu out
to have been good, and the few reports yet received for the first
week iu May are also favorable the Ohio & Mise. just received
reporting an increase of $16,837 over the same week last year.
As this company now shows an increase of $172,3o9 in gross
earnings from Jan. 1 to date, and as it requires but $140,000 to
pay a semi annual dividend on the preferred stock, it is probable
that such payment would be looked for in September, if there
was any assurance that the company had made a saving in expenses similar to that of nearly all other railroads. There is a
decidedly better feeling in stocks, but the diverse interests in the
market, and the opportunity for spreading unfavorable rumor8»

The Junction Urancli, which gives the road for the firtt tioM
a direct connection with the Savannah & Charleston road, and
opens to the trains of that road an entrance into Savannah,
begun in October and opened for the passage of trains Dec. 1.

1875.

South Ge»r£la
In the reported operations of railroads in the last two or three
years, especially nt the South and West, there is one feature very
common to all: reduced business by the poverty of the people, or
reduced receipts from a ruinous competition. The net profits of
railroad property are not uufrequently affected by a combination
of both these causes.
The Board has no wish to speak despondingly, or to discourage
stockholders with a gloomy prospect in the future, but it cannot
be ignored, and need not be denied, tha', the present and early
future of the railroad interest, especially South and West, is very
discouraging.
This is everywhere seen and everywhere felt and
as it is occasioned by one general cause, and extends to all industrial
interests, the truth of the sentiments expressed in a late report of
one of our neighboring institutions will be generally acknowledged "It has been a year of unusual hardship upon the railroad interests of the country ever responding'.in quick sympathy
to unfavorable conditions of other industries."
It will be recollected that it has been the policy of the company,
since the war, to charge all expenditures for, and on account
of, the road, ani
especially expenditures for restoration of
property, to profit and loss, so that nothing should appear as an
asset which could not be separated from the road and outfit, and
made available for payment of debts or dividends.
The Superintendent's report says:

The expenses are 53f per ceat of the gross earnings.
The future prospects of your road are not gloomy, and with
<!lose and economical management we can see nothing that will

regular divideiids to
its
stockholders.

Of the freight earnings, 73 per cent was from local business, 14
per cent from Florida through and the rest from other through
business. Of passenger earnings, 58 per cent was from local, 81
per cent from Florida and 11 per cent from other through travel.
The Florida business increases steadily in importance, and more
than balances the loss by the diversion of the Chattahoochee Kiver
trade to Eufaula and Columbus. The decrease in freight earnings
was caused by short cotton and other crops, but was nearly mada
up by increase in naval stores and by fruit and vegistable afcipments. The latter business promises well, and pains are being
taken to foster it by giving every possible advantage in rates and
accommodations.
Expenditures for improvements and additions to property were
$11,457 31. The cost of the Junction branch was $38,783 05.

The decrease in incidental earnings results from the fact that

—
Fovrth No injunction, preliminary or final, can be granted to
Btay collection of taxes, until it is sliown tbat all llie taxes really
due have been paid or tendered without demanding a receipt in
iull.
Fifth— lYio Constitution of Illinois declares in express terms
that certain persons and corporations engaged in special pursuits
may be taxed by a general law, uniform as to tlie class upon
•which it operates, and under this provision a statute is not
unconstitutional which prefcribes a different rule of taxntion for
railroad companies from that for individuals.
Sixth— 'Hot does it violate any provision of the Constitution of
the United States.
Seventh— "Vhe capital stock, franchises, and all the real and
personal property of corporations, are justly liable to taxation,
and a rule tha^ ascertains the value of all this by ascertaining
the cash value of the funded debt and of the shares of the capital
stock, as the basis of assessment, is probably as fair as any
other.
—
Eighth Deducting from this the assessed value of all the
tangible real and personal properly, which is also taxed, leaves
the real value of the capital stock and franchise subject to taxation as justly as any other mode, all modes being more or less
imperfect.
Ninth It is neither in conflict with the Constitution of Illinois
nor unequitable that the entire taxable property of the railroad
should be ascertained by the Slate Board of Equalization, and
that the State, county and city taxes should be collected within
each municipality on this assessment in the proportion which the
length of the road within such municipality bears to the whole
length of the road within the State.
Tenth Tlie courts cannot substitute their j udgment as to valuation for that of the Board.
Eleventh— Th.& Supreme Court of Illinois having decided that
the law complained of in these cages is valid, this Court adopts
that decision as a rule to be followed in the Federal courts.
Twelfth Does it follow that in cases where the proceedings are
faulty or illegal, that a court of equity will enjoin the collection
of the whole tax, when it is obvious that a large part should be
paid, and, if not paid, the complainaut would escape taxation
altogether? The question is important because the immense
weight of taxation rendered necessary by the debts of the
United States, of the several States, and of the counties, cities
and towns, has resulted very naturally in a resort to every possible expedient to evade its force. It has been repeatedly decided that neither the mere illegality of the tax complained of,
nor its injustice nor irregularity, of themselves give the right to
—
—
—
an Injunction.
The United States has a complete system for the correction of
injustice to tax-payers, but there ia no place in it for application
to the courts uutil after the tax is paid. An act of 1867 covers
this point particularly. This is a wise policy. It is founded on
the si mple_ philosophy, derived from the experience of ages, that
the payment of taxes has to be enforced by summary and.stringent means against a reluctant and often advised sentiment. -No
court of equity will, therefore, allow its injunction to issue to
lestra'n their action, except where it appears that the enforcement of the tax would lead to a multiplicity of suits or produce
irreparal^le injury, or, when the property is real estate, throw a
cloud upon the title of the complainant before the aid of a -court
of equity can be invoked.
The Court will always incline to
require a clear case of equitable reliel before it will sustain an
injunction against the collection of a tax, which is part of the
revenue of a State.
But there is another principle of equitable jurisprudence
which forbids in these cases the interference of a court of chancery in favor of complainants. It is that universal rule which
requires that he who seeks equity at the hands of the Court must
first do equity.
It is clear that the road-bed within each county
is liable to be taxed at the same rate that other property is
taxed.
have not complainants paid this tax?
Before complainants seek the aid of the court to be relieved of
the excessive tax, they should pay what is due. Before they ask
equitable relief, they should do that justice which is necessary to
enable the court to hear them.
It is a satitfactiou that our judgment concurs with that of the
State court, and leads us to the same conclusions. The decrees
ill all these cases are reversed.
The cases are remanded to the
Circuit Court, with directions to dissolve the injunction granted
in each case and to dismiss the bills.

Tennessee Finances.— Colonel James E. Bailey recently made
a strong speech, at Clarksville, in favor of paying interest on the
State debt. He gave the following summary Total debt upon

per
Now observe, fellow-citizens, that in this estimate no mentioa
is made of other methods of supplementing the aggregate, as by
taxing litigation before justices of peace, but still we have a
fund sufficient to pay the expenses of the State Government, and
to pay the interest on the public debt.
It may not be inappropriate in this connection to refer to the
suggestion lately made by some of our creditors in Maryland, to
the effect that the State shall tax the bonds themselves wherever
held, and collect the assessment by retaining ths money in the
hands of the Treasurer. If the tax shall be levied it will yield, at
the same rate per cent, of six mills, about §150,228, and give us
a surplus of about $200,000 per annum.
It may admit of doubt whether we can constitutionally levy
this tax.
The question was presented, in substance, to the Supreme
Court of the United Sates in tlie Pennsylvania tax cases, 15th
Wallace's reports, and the decision was adverse to the right
claimed, but the court was divided in opinion, five to four, and,
inasmuch as it reversed a decision of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, we may regard the question as open for reargument. If the tax shall be assessed without the consent o£
the non-resident bondholder, the courts should be opened

Union PaciBc— A letter from the President of the Unioi
Pacific Railroad Company was received by the Housei Judiciar;
Committee, in response to its recent request for the subinissio:
within ten days of some proposition for the creation of a sinkiuL
fund, which should not include an offer to re-convey to the goT.
ernment any portion of the laud grants. It seems to be an im.
portant omission that the letter does not refer at all to the fai
that the lands of the company are now covered by two mortgages,
amounting together
to upwards of $20,000,000.
Of course, it il
impossible to ignore these mortgages, and the presumption ii
that the lands would be recouveyed to the government, subjei
to the lien of these mortgages.
The following extracts embra*
the important parts of the letter:
Sib: After as much consultation with my associate directors o;
this company as has been practicable in the brief time allowi
by your letter of the 25th of April, I find myself unable at thli
time to submit, as requested therein, n, new money proposition foi
tho creation of a sinking fund to meet the eventual liabilities ol
the company to the goveruaient under the second mortgage, but
should any such proposition proceed from your committee, or ia
any way from the government, the company will give it immediate and careful consideration, with a view to its acceptance, if
found to be fair and just to the other creditors and to the stockholders of the company. * * *
The ojjinion of your committee that it would he inexpedient ti
accept, on account of the company's future indebtedoes?, a re
conveyance of any of the lands granted by the United States i
aid of the construction of the road, we trust will, on a funhe:
examination of the subject, be reconsidered and a different coniclusion reached. The amount to become due from the company
y
to the government on the maturity of the bonds. about the year
r
1S97 is so large that annual sinking fund payments in money
y
sufficient to cancel it at that date would be beyond the reason-]
able means of the company. There must, therefore, in any;
settlement, be either an extension of time for payment, or somi
wise and legitimate method must be found for reducing, by
substantial credit, the indebtedness, or for in some way augmenting the sinking fund. A fair and reasonable method of
accomplishing this latter object, is by the re transfer to the
government of the whole, or a part, of the lands granted to the
company, which, although valuable and sure to be ultimately
largely profitable, do not produce ca«h returns with the rapidity
which was first expected. It by more rapid settlement of the
country along the line, and by speedier sale of lands, large cash,
returns were secured, the company would be better able to make
larger annual sinking fund payments to the government but, in
the absence of such rat^id sales, such payments cannot safely be
attempted. The land grant to this company was about 13,000,000'
acres; the total sales to December 31, 1875, were about 1,200,000
acres, leaving nearly 11,000,000 acres unsold.
The averaare price
realized has been $4 47 per acre; manifestly, the land grant to
the company has not been so immediately productive as was
expected. Why, then, should not the lands constituting the only
gift from the government to the company, and which it must
have been intended should be largely relied on to enable tha
company to repay the loan of the government to the company, bd
*,
*
*
*
utilized in any agreement with the company.
Although a credit of 8,000,000 acres of land at the Government
price of $3 50 per acre amounts to $30,000,000, yet, as this latter
will be thus discharged twenty-one years before it is due, its
present value is only $5,883,100, and the above quantity of lands
valued at less than $1 per acre is sufficient to meet it.
As the company is thus willing to convey to the United States
6.000,000 or 8,000,000 acres, or more, if desired, of its lands, at the
price of $3 50 per acre, and to make in addition to such annual
sinking fund, money payments, as will cancel the whole debt at
maturity in 1897, or if this settlement is not agreeable to Congress, is willing to consider any proposition which may be made
by the Government, with a disposition to accept it, if its means
and its other obligations will permit. I have to express the hope
that in no case will Congrfss lend itself to the passage of harsh,
forcible, or hostile measures against the company.
The Government has only a second mortgage any blow at the company'*
credit is an injury to the Government, and diminishes its chance*
of collecting its debt, while whatever strengthens the company
increases the Government's security and its prospect of ultimate

doing a comparatively light basiness. Wentern, southwestern

California jobbers bought a fair quantity of assoited mer-
renewal of assortments, but the demand from
Southern and near-by States vrag comparatively unimportant.
3lMie were a few large transactions in cotton goods and calicoes,
•wliieh were closed out by manufacturers' agents at low figures, in
4iTder to dose their half-yearly accounts with the mills, and a
more active demand fer heavy woolens was developed. The event
of the week was an auction sale of the Bates Manufacturing
•Oompany's crochet and honeycomb quilts, which was held by
Townsend, Montant & Co., by order of Messrs. Wright, Bliss &
Fabyan, the selling agents in this market. The sale was a great

Dress goods of a fancy character continued dull, and
many makes are selling at less than the ost of importation.
Staple dress goods are fairly steady, but are paying a very small
profit.
Silks were sluggish, except millinery makes, which wen
freely distributed through the auction rooms. Liuen goods wer
quiet in first hand.", but values are well maintained, and whit
goods moved slowly. Embroideries were in rather better de

goods for men's wear were a little more active, but prices ar
