moment a supply anywhere near equaling the present
and prospective drain cannot be anticipated. To be sure,
the Treasury disbursements for called bonds may be
liberal, but the Treasury balance is now reduced to such a
point that we must not expect to receive any considerable
amount beyond what is paid into the Treasury, and that it
only returning to the market what is drawn from it. The
Treasury held on May 1, of gold, legal tenders and bank

Still the current is as yet largely this way, and if rates
harden here it would be likely to force the flow from the
interior until the markets should also rise everywhere else.
There are, however, some indications of increased permanent uses for funds throughout the country. We notice,

Then perhaps the Commissioners supposed the cost of
transportation has diminished.
But with the higher prices
of fuel and materials and the rise in wages during the last
two years, this supposition is too absurd to need arguing.
It is equally impossible also that the action was instigated
by the belief that the railroads were making inordinate profits.
A great many railroad returns from companies in Illinois have passed under our eye of late, and
yet we have still to see the first that shows an unreasonably
large distribution on capital.
But even if profits had been
too large, the effect upwn them of the 30 per cent reduction in rates of December last has not yet besn adequately

Moreover, never was there a time when there was
less need for a change in rates, for all articles are selling
at high figures and it is at just, such a period that freight

seems to be so slight a difference in that particular that
there is nothing satisfying in knowing who is in control.
The remedy for this evil is very simple; it is to enforce
pubhcity by law. Every road in the land should be required to publish a monthly report of its earnings and
expenses, made up on a certain uniform plan; and if
New York State would pass such a law making this
requirement, other States would quickly follow with similar action.
No commission is needed to secure this
reform, for there is no politics in it, and only a brief
statute describing what the report should be and making
the requirement.

For instance, the 22 per cent increase in March this year
was made on earnings of last year less than 9 per cent
above those of the year preceding, while the 15 J per cent
increase in April was made on earnings 25 per cent above
those of April in 1880, so that really the April statement
this year is more favorable than the March statement.
The roads in the West and Northwest do not exhibit
such heavy gains as in March when the St. Paul, the

encouraging aspect, and Stock Exchange business be benefitted ; but there can be no expectation of change during the
summer months.

Mr, Gladstone delivered hU financial Htatement on Monday.
There were no great anticipations on the part of the public
with regard to it, and it has been the subject of very little
discassion. Mr. Gladstone observed that there was a growing
expenditure against a sluggish revenue, and in order to make
op for a small detieiency, an increased duty will be levied upon
oarriages, which will add about £250,000 to the annual revenueLast year's revenue was estimated at £^5,100,000, and it
amounted actually to £35,822,000, being an increase of £722,000.
For the current financial year the taxes are expected to prodace £84,935,000, against an estimated expenditure of £S4,860,000.

In the commercial world the failure of Messrs. Armitage

wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to 36,138 quarters, against 28.466 quarters last yeai

22,333 quarters in 1880; while
estimated that they

several failures have been the result. Business in other metals

Tlrglnia State Finances. -At Richmond. Va., May 5, Mr. W.
L. Koyall, of New York, filed a bill in the Circuit Court, aa
counsel for certain holders of Virginia bonds in England, asking an injunction restraining the State from applying the proceeds of the sale of Virginia's interest in the Atlantic Mississippi & Ohio Railroad, amounting to half a million dollars, for
any other object than providra for in the Funding act of
18*. 1.
At the past session of the Legislature of this ^ate the
Readjusters enacted a law applyiiur $100,000 of this money to
the erection of a Normal College for the colored people, and
the surplus of 9400,000 to be turned over to the public schools
of the state. Mr. Royall contends that the Funding bill of
1871 provided that all money realized from the sale of the Commonwealth's interest in works of internal improvementii should
be covered into the sinking fund under that act.

our commercial exports are always small."

"In December last the Elizabethtown Lexington & Big Sandy
Railroad was turned over by the contractors, and an arrangement made to operate it as a division of the Cliesapeake & Ohio
Bailway an arrangement which secures economy
the operation of the joint line, while it devolves no pecuniary burden
upon this company, the lessor receiving as
rental
earnings
of
the
net
that
road.
The line from
Ashland to Mt. Sterling was opened late last autumn,
bat ia consequence of the unfavorable season, no through
bosiDeas of any magnitude was done over it before the close of
the year. Since then arrangements have been completed whereby
through cars are run between Huntington and Cincinnati, via
Lexington, over the Kentucky Central Uailroad ; and also for
ronning through trains to Louisville and the Southwtst over
the Louisville Cincinnati & Lexington Railroad." » * »
'•
On the subject of western connections it may be remarked
that from Louisville southwe-ftwardly to Memphis, the Chesapeake hio & Southwestern Railroad Companv will operate a line
of nearly 400 miles in length, which, during the coming summer,
vrill be changed to the standard gauge, and which will be
worked in harmony with, and as tributary to, the road of your
company, so as tj make an unbroken line of uniform gauge
from the MiKsissippi River at Memphis to your eastern seaboard terminus on the Atlantic. Some minor ctianeres are also
contemplated which will improve and shorten the Tine so as to
make it, in all respects, as direct to and from Memphis or
Cairo as any of the other lines. The extension of the Kentucky Central Railroad southward from Paris to an interstction with the line building northward from Knoxville, at Livingston, Ky., will afford a direct route to and from East Tennessee,
and will shorten materially tlie through route to and from
Cincinnati by way of the E. L. & B. S. Railroad." * • •
" The local traffic of the road continues to improve. The
coal tonnage for the fifteen months amounted to 716,464 tens
being an increase of 143,272 tons over the previous fifteen
months. The increase would have been greater but for unusual interruptions from strikes of miners, scarcity of vessels,
low water and ice, and other causes ; some of which can never
trouble us hereafter." • • *
" Although the mileage operated at the close of the period
was nominally larger than that included in my last report, yet
these revenues have been derived from virtually the same road;
as the new portions of the road had scarcely come into regular
nse, while tue current expenses were perhaps greater than the
normal ratio." • • *
" It is proposed, in order to provide additional equipment
which will be needed for the expected through business, and for
the increasing local traffic, to organize a Car Trust, under which
arrangements can be made for the purchase of engines and
cars as may be required, to be paid for by instalmenta covering
a period of ten years." • * •

" The grading on the Indiana & Michigan Railway, being the
southern extension alluded to in the last report of the directors
of the old company, is completed from New Buffalo, Mich.,
through to Laporte, Ind., a distance of fifteen miles, and the
track IS being laid and ballasted, and it is now hoped that trains
will be running through to Laporte by May 15.
Several preliminary surveys have been made between Laporte and La
Crosse, a distance of twenty-two miles, and the proposed terminus of the southern extension. The right of way is being
worked up, and the grading between these points will l>e commenced at once, and it is presumed that trains will be running
to La Crosse not later than August 15.
" The stock of the consolidated company shows an increase
ove- that of the Chicago & West Michigan Railroad Company
of $645,800, which was issued for consolidation purposes ; of
which 1582,760 is held in trust for the benefit of this company,
and the balance ($63,040) will be issued and held It the same
way, when the outstanding stock of the old companies ia
presented for exchange."

The general remarks state that "the damages caused by the
unfortunate accident occurring on the West Jersey & Atlantic
Railroad in August, 1880, at May's Landing, have been fully
settled, and the proportion of the same as.sumed by this company (!t'41,974) has been debited to profit and loss account. The
terminus of the Salem Railroad having been moved, the amount
expended on it (|21,570) has been charged oft in the income of
this year. The tost of theannex building to the Stockton Hotel,
with its furniture and equipment, was $19,189. This amount
has also been charged off in profit and loss account.
"The claims for fire damages alouff the line of the road have
been settled for $14,702, which has been charged off in profit
and loss Account. After charging off the various sums above
mentioned, aggregating $132,338, there is a balance to credit of
surplus earnings of your company of $145,582."

American Cable.— As to the American Cable subscriptions,
t is sta'ed that most of the holders have given their consent to
the acceptance of the la.st proposition made by the Western
Union Telegraph Company.
This proposition was that 140
shares of new stock, with 5 per cent guaranteed, should be
issued for each $7,000 paid in on the cable subscriptions. This
IS the most favorable offer that has been made to the
cable subscribers, and if the guaranteed stock should sell at 85, the
140
shares would be worth $11,900, against the $7,000 cash paid.

Chicago & Eastern Illinois.— The United States Supreme
Court has granted a re-hearing in the old foreclosure suit of
thd Chicago Danville & Vincennes Railroad. Of this the Chicago Tribune reports that Mr. Leslie Carter, of the firm of
Walker & Carter, attorneys for the stockholders of the Chicago
Danville & Vincennes Railroad, states that the decision of the
United States Supreme Court simply places the contest back
it was before the late decision in favor of the Danville
Vincennes was made. Mr. Carter says he has still good
hopes that after another hearing the court will afiirm its former
decision.
He says the decision in favor of the Danville & Vincennes was signed by five out of the seven judges. As he understands, a re-hearing is granted upon the request of any of
the judges who decided in favor of the Danville stockholders.
Now, suppose that one of the judges has changed his opinion,
that would leave still four of them in favor of the Danville
side of the ca.se, and three against.
Two new judges have
been added to the Supreme bench since that deci-sion was given,
where
&
and the opinion of those, of course, is not known. Therefore,
upon the vote of the two new judges the case will now depend.
Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha— Chicago Portage
& Superior— Minneapolis & St. Lonis.— The Chicago Tribune
reports that at a meeting of the Chicago Portage & Superior
Railroad directors, May 6, five of the directors of the Schofleld
board resigned, and in their place the following new directors,
all connected with the Rock Island and St. Paul & Omaha roads,
were elected: Thomas F. Withrow, W. G. Purdy, C. M. Osbom,
and M. A. Farr, Chicago; C. Lynde, Rock Island. Mr. Thomas
F. Withrow was elected President, and Mr. Farr Secretary and
Trea-surer. This result, of course, was to be expected, as the
Schofield party could have gained nothing by continuing the
contest any longer, for the reason that the Wisconsin Legislature declared the land grant to the old Portage Company forfeited, and gave it to the Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis &
Omaha Railroad Company. Mr. Cable informed a Tribune
reporter Saturday that it" is not the intention of the company
to build the Portage road through from Superior to Chicago
for the present. The Superior end of the line, to which the
land-grant is attached, would be completed by September, but
nothing would be done to complete the line north from Chicago,
as there was no use for such a road at present. There can be
no doubt, however, that the line from Chicago to a connection
with the St. Paul Minneapolis <i Omaha Road will ulrimately be
built.
At present the Rock Island has a tolerably good line to
St. Paul via the Albert Lea route.
As long as this line will accommodate the northwestern business of the Rock Island, the
direct connection with the St. Paul & Omaha Line will not be
built, as by doing so now there would be serious trouble with
the Chicago & Northwestern, which uses the St. Paul &
Omaha from Elroy to St. Paul, and if deprived of this connection would be compelled to build a competing line from Elroy
to St. Paul. It is not the intention at present to force the
Northwestern to take such a step.

Metropolitan Elevated.
—
It is the intention of the MetroElevated Railroad Company to have the judgment
entered against it in the Superior Court on Wedne.sday in favor
of Diego Caro and others set a.side. if possible, or amended in
form. As it now stands the judgment perpetually re.'trains the
Metropolitan Elevated Railroad Company from maintaining and
operating a steam railway in We.Ht Fifty-third Street, between
Sixth and Ninth Avenues. An order directinir the plaintiffs to
show cause on the 13th in.stant why the judgment should not
be vacated or resettled was procured from Judge Russell, in
Superior Court, Chambers, yesterday, by Messrs. Dorsheimer,
Bacon & Deyo, attorneys for the railroad company. The order
also contains a stay of all proceedings to enforce the judgment.
It is ba.<!ed upon an affidavit made by Mr. Robert E. Dv'^o, in
which it is averred that the judgment was entered without
notice to the railroad company's attorneys, and without a settlement of its terms by the court. Mr. Deyo avers that it does
not expre!^s the intention of the Qener&l Term of the Superior
Court, which, as he understands it, was that a perpetual injunction should issue against the railroad company only if it failed

Philadelphia & Reading. The most definite information
reported as to Mr. Gowen's progress in London was given in
the Philadelphia North American of May 12, which said that
it was reported on the Street on Wednesday " that as soon ai
Mr. Vanderbilt arrived in London, which woold be al)out M< nday next, he and Mr. Gowen would decide on the extent to which
the offers received for the consols were to be accepted. Hitherto
the Street had only heard allegations of cne offer, namely,
95 per cent, or $38,000,000 for $40,000,000 of the new b<ind8,
and knew that Mr. Gowen was disinclined to accept it, he having said in his Lmdon speech that he would rather wait a year
than sell them at so heavy a discount. The impression ot those
interested in New York seemed to be that enough of the consols would be sold to pay off the scrip and income mort>.'ago.
The use of the plural in the New York talk of " offers" caused
further inquiry, and finally it was met with the information
that Mr. Gowen had received a bid of 98, some say 98.)§ for
140,000,000 of the bonds, and that he accepted it. subject to the
approval of Mr. Vanderbilt, to whom, as the stockholder who
elected him, he felt bound to defer in the matter. Third Street
was eager to believe the news, but thought it almost too good
to be true." * * *
" The vagueness of the early reports was cleared up later in
the day by the announcement that Mr. G )wen had sold $10,000,000 of the bonds unconditionally, in order to insure the payment of the scrip income tmnds and receivers' certificates, and
would hold the offers for $30,000,000 more for the sanction of
Mr. Vanderbilt."

San Francisco Street Bonds.—In reply to inquiries regarding the Dupont Street and Montgomery Avenue bonds, the
following statement is given by a firm of brokers in San Francisco, under date of April 29
"In answer to your inquiries as to the present status of
Dupont and Montgomery Avenue bonds, we would beg to state
"First Dupont Street bonds, quotations nominal, can be
bought at 50c. No interest has been paid. The case has been
decided adversely to the bondholders in lower court, and hangs
in our Supreme Court, where it will probably be reached inside
of twelve months.
" jSecond- Montgomery Avenue bonds, 33^c. is bid and 40c.
is asked.
No interest has been paid. The case has been
decided against the bonds in our State Supreme Court, but the
court, in their judgment, expressly say that the constitutionality
of the Montgomery Avenue act, and the validity of the bonds,
had not come before them, and hence they do not express an
opinion in regard to either, leaving this an open question.
" Tft^rrf— Bondholders will undoubtedly press the matter,
and wilt probably commence proceedings in the Federal courts
" Fou7th—T}ie opinion of our best legal talent is to the point
that, in view of many decisions of the United States Supreme
Court covering the same or almost the same ground, there will
be a favorable result reached whenever the whole matter is
fairly brsught before our Federal courts."

this fact tends to keep-
domestic trade within moderate limits, though the increased
cost of living and labor troubles have also had considerable
influence in the same direction. Export transactions are likewise small, and foreign exchange being at the gold shipping
point, considerable specie has been sent to Europe, and only the
easy state of the European money markets prevented a more
important efflux of gold. The crops are in the main doing well,,
though from a few sections unfavorable reports respecting
wheat and corn have latterly been received.
A better business has been done in pork, at improved prices.
Lard, on the other hand, has had a poor speculation and prices
