each one of the latter redeemed. To effect this end was
the object of the originators of the bill in the House,
consequently the measure has been called an inflation
measure. One can readily see that if such were its
operation there would be in progress a constant increase
in the currency, and the Secretary's specie accumulations
being rapidly drawn out, would have to be replenished
from time to time by the sale of more of the 4^ per cents.
A difficulty, however, at once arises as to the working
of the pi in according to this intent. For instance, how
are the legal tenders, after being releemed, to be
re-issued ?
That is, for what are they to be re-issued ?
The only disbursements the Treasurer makes are on
account of (1) government expenses, and (2) the retire-
ment of government bonds for the former, of course the
receipts from taxes supply the needed funds, and for the
latter the money is obtained from the special subscrip;
made for the 4 per cents. In no way can the government
use its funds other than in the two we have

These considerations, so far as there is force in them,

A wool broker told me this

assured that the saving, owing to the reduced price of labor,
varies between 5 and 10 per cent, and a more satisfactory article
is produced.
Last year, during the first four months, our exports
amounted to 7,723,500 lbs., but our imports were 5,036,510

In tho
^n-
t-ral focliiiff iircvalinit in fnmneial circles, tlio ])re8i>nt week is
conspicuouH for tlio most buoyant and hopeful tone wliich has
been witnessed this year. The complete success of tlio 4} per
cent bonds in the hands of the Syndicate their books having
now been closed In this country on the whole loan tho approximate disappearance of gold fluctuations; the enonnous produce
movement consequent upon the abundant harvests of last year,
and the business furnished by the transporfjjtion and handling
of such a crop the favorable outlook for the growing crops and
the increased acreage planted at tho West and South; tlie unparalleled sales of Government and railroad lands to a great tide of
settlers from the more Eastern States and from abroad
all these
arc among the general influences accepted by the public as
furnishing substantial encouragement to the idea of more prosperous times in the near future.
The money market has grown easier, and on Government bonds
call loans are offered freely at 2@3 per cent; on miscellaneous
stock collaterals the bulk of business is done at 3@4 per cent.
In commercial paper there is also a perceptible shade of difference in the ideas of purchasers, and some grades of paper are now
current at fair rates, which, a few weeks ago, it would have been
difficult to place at any price.
On strictly prime paper the range
of quotations is 3| to 5 per cent.
The Bank of England statement on Thursday showed a decline
of £149,000 in specie for the week, and the Bank of France
exhibits an increase of 10,700,000 francs.
The last statement of the Xew York City Clearing House banks,
issued May 18, showed a decrease of $1,693,225 in the excess alK)ve
their 25 per cent legal reserve, the whole of such excess being
114,128,775, against $15,822,000 the previous week.

Vnlted States Bond»._Although the Syndicate may not have
made a technical call on the Treasury Department for the delivery
of the remaining $15,000,000 of 4J per cent bonds, it is announced
to-day that they have no more bonds to sell, and the loan is practically closed out.
What remains in London of the $10,000,000
sent over will be sold there.
The price was advanced here to
102J this week, and, taken altogether, the rapid sale of the bonds
and the change of sentiment since the negotiation was first entered upon, entitle this operation to be considered one of the most
remarkable financial transactions which has yet been witnessed in
this country.
The demand for lK>nds comes from all quarters,
and during the past few weeks more of the heavy buyers, including the savings banks and other financial corporations, have added
their demand to the large takings of the people.
The Secretary of the Treasury issued the fifty-eighth call for
the redemption of 5-20 bonds. The call is for $5,000,«00, to be
paid off August 22, and the interest will cease on that day.

District of Columbia 3-05 bonds have been
quite act've to-day at 81 to 81^.
Virginia bonds have met with a
—
demand from liome customers.
Kailroad bonds have been active and buoyant beyond anything
seen this year. Nearly all the issues of bonds have shared in the
advance movement, except such as are directly under a cloud on
account of pending litigations.
The list of Southern railroad
bonds is exceedingly strong; the l>ond» of the Western graincarrying roads, down to the last consolidated i8sue(u8ually known,
however, as the " first consolidated"), have shared in the general
buoyancy the branch line gold bonds of the Central Pacific have
made a sharp advance and uie land grant bonds have also met
;
with some inquiry.
Denver & Kio Grande mortgage bonds
jumped up to 70@72}. It is evident that railroad property has
taken a new lease of life in the estimation of investors, and they
have suddenly become impressed with the idea that tlie wide
difference between the interest paid by Government securities
and by railroad bonds, offers an inducement to take the latter,
even at a slightly greater risk on tlie investment. The Invebtobs'
Supplement to-day gives quite an extended list of railroad bonds
approved by one or more brokers, which pay at current rates 7
per cent or better, on their purchase price.

Batlroad and IHIaeallaneoua Stocks. The stock market
has been decidedly strong on a relatively moderate volume of
business.
The large earnings of llie Western railroads, the agreement of the trunk lines on freight rates, and the continued harSt.
;
—
monious working of the coal combination, are the principal elements which form the basis for the present strength of the
market. A less substantial point also, though one not less spoken
of, is the coming crop of cereals, which promises to be very large.
This
is less substantial only in so far as it is impossible yet to estimate with any degree of accuracy the probable out-turn of the
grain crops of 1878, and only on the question of acreage planted
can the crop reports yet form much of a basis for calculations as
to the general results next fall.
It had been reported in a Philadel))hia newspaper that the " trust-fund " scheme of the Pennsylvania liailrotul had virtually been abandoned, but we have official
assurances to tlie contrary, and that the consideration of a plan
for its execution is now under advisement by the counsel of tho
company; the stock in Philadelphia is 8tr»)ng, and the two prominent guaranteiHl stocks in this market have advance<l materially.
the close, jirices are strong and near the highest jKjint of the
week, and St. Paul, common and preferred, and Illinois Central
at the highest of the year.

The working expenses were largely reduced by cutting down
train service and by close economy in management, assisted by
the reduced cost of materials. In this way the company was
enabled to maintain the usual dividends, notwithstanding the
redaction in gross earnings. The lease of the Nashua Acton &
Boston has proved profitable, chiefly by enabling the company to
keep control of its connections, and consequently, in a great
measure, of rates.

Executive Committee of the Board of Directors reported this fact
to the stockholders, explained the necessity of raising more
money, and proposed that the stockholders ehould either Ijuy the
second mortgage bonds of the Bridge Company, of which an issue
of $2,000,000 had been made, or pay up further calls on their
stock.
It seems that, instead of taking either course, a resolution was passed at a general meeting of the stockholders in New
York City, providing that the Board of Directors should make
calls on the stock from time to time for the remaining 60 per cent
unpaid, and that as the stockholders paid up these calls the officers
of the Company should deliver to them second mortgage bonds to
an amount equal to what they should pay on these calls. The credthat while the
itors now suing claim this plan was carried out
stockholders paid up the balance due on their stock with one
hand they at the same time, and as part of the same transaction,
took back from the Bridge Company its second mortgage bonds
with the other hand; and that, in point of fact, gome 948 bonds
were thus given to stockholders, which Mr. Britton afterwards,

STRIKE.
There are about 470,000 looms employed in the cotton industry
of the United Kinjfdom. Allowing f-jr those running four or five
days per week, there are equal to about 130,000 looms now
standing. The average weekly consumption of cotton for s me
months prior to the strike was about 58,000 bales. During 1870
and 1877 about one-fifth of the yarn produced was exported in

the United Kingdom. Of these, 7,900,000, or one-filth, are
employed in spinning for export, leaving 31,600,000 to supply
yarn for the 470,000 looms at home. Therefore, the 130 000

the average weekly consumption of cotton was about 22,000 bales
per week. During the eight weeks of August and September
the consumption was reduced on average about 5,600 bales per
wet k, or nearly 45,000 bales in all; but a strike of eight weeks
this year, at 13,000 bales per week, would represent 104,009 bales.

The average rate of consumption in Great Britain during the
first six months of the season was about 58,000 biles, of 400 lbs.,

economize about half a week's consumption, say 29,000 bales, or
11,600,000 lbs. The consumption for the seven months, "r thirty
weeks, would, therefore, be 696,000,000 lbs., minus 11,600,000, or
a net total of 684,400,000 lbs. List year tbe consumption up to
the end of April was at the rate of 24,940,000 lbs. per week, or

The
total su plui for Europe is 238,000 bales, against 204,000
bales last year; an excess of 34,000 bales. Against this tliere is
a reduction of 445,000 bales in the visible supply; so that the
q lantity of cjtton in the ports, at the mills or afloat, at the end
of April, was about 411,001 bales less than a year previously.
PROSPECTS.
Respecting the prospects of supply, we see no need to make
any material change in the figures put forth in our last report.
We may get a little more than our estimate from Araer'ca, but
we shall get less from India and other places. If from the
estimates of a month since we deduct the imports in April, we
get the following results:

stated, we may get more from America than 465,000
bales, but we shall get much less than 233,000 from India ; many
Bombay houses doubting now if the sl.ipments for the half-year
will exceed 625.000 to 650,000 biles, whereas, our estimate was
based on 700 000 bales.
As to consumption, we stated that "the figu es might be
modified by an extension of short time in the manufacturing
districts, or by the realization of the threatened strike in Northare in full
tast Lancashire." Both short time and the " strike
operation, and it is doubtful whether the present rate of consumption exceeds 45,000 bales per week. The strike may last
six weeks or two months, or it may come to an end at any
moment. The longer it lasts, however, the better it will be for
the trade in the end. At the close of the strike, the tendency
will be to return to full time, but the small supply of cotton will
prevent this, if bad trade does not.
If to the stock in Liverpool at the end of April (862,000 bales)
we add the above estimated import to September 30, we get a
supply of 1,663,000 bales. Suppose the strike to continue seven
weeks, and consumption afterwards to be only at the rate of
55,000 bales per week, or 10 to 12 per cent below the producing
power of the machinery in existence, and suppose exporters to
take an average of 5,000 per week, the deliveries would be 50,000
bales for seven weeks and 60,000 for fifteen weeks, or a total of
1,250,000 bales for home consumption and export for twenty.two
wteks. At this rate, the stock at the end of September would
be reduced to 413,000 bales, against 598,000 last year, and 721,000
in 1876. As the minimum stock is not touched until later in the
year, being 306,000 in December last year and 482,000 in
December, 1876, it is manifest that eo small a stock as 413,000
bales will not be witnessed in September, and that the struggle
to prevent this will lead to some advance in prices. Of course,
as we said last month, war would make a great change in the
figures but there are now good grounds for expecting that w»r
will be avoided.

Gunny Bags, Bagging, Etc. Bagging has continued to rule
quiet during the week, though rather more inquiry is to be noted,
and holders are rather firmer as to price. There have been a few
sales of small parcels, in all a few hundred rolls of 2 lbs., at 9ic.,
and also a fewparcelsof standard quality at 10@10ic., with rather
more disposition to hold for a higher figure at the close. Butts
have not changed since our last, but the market is ruling steady,
with only a light demand. Sales are reported of several hun-.
dred bales. At the close the market is steady, with holdersj
quoting 2 ll-16@2Jc., cash and time, according to quality.

There was an important decline in flour early in the week,
prices giving way from day to day, until $1 55®4 60 was
accepted for considerable lines of extra State. The medium and
better grades were also dull and depressed, but did not experience BO great a decline as the lower grades. The depression was
partly in sympathy with wheat, but there was also a marked
absence of demand, and supplies were large. Kye flour was
steadier and corn meal more active. To-day, the market was
quiet and unchanged.
