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.

These considerations, so far as there is force in them, tend to mark the proposed act as negative in character and influence. Yet for one reason, if for no other, it is far from being so. The real fact is that the silver covering which has been provided for Mr. Sherman's gold protects the gold something as the wolf does the lambWhen the silver bill was passed we were told that the price of that metal would soon appreciate under ECONOMY As [Vol. IN PRINTING the session of Congress XXVI.

This is just as certain as that account of rent, because it occupies a part of the Treasury no man will pay a dollar for what he can buy at ninety building, driving other work to other buildings; or of It may be urged that the gold cannot be obtained gas, which it takes from the Treasury; or of waste in cents. as the silver will be first issued.

Senator Morrill, of Vermont, who has this bill in charge, said that " there is no sort of doubt about the " Government's saving money by doing this engraving " and printing itself, besides saving on account of repair" ing machinery for other departments."

A wool broker told me this week that he is buying a class of wool suitable to the French manufacturers. The produce is forwarded to Roubaix, in the Bouth of France, and is retransmitted in the shape of yarn to Huddersfield and other manufacturing towns in Yorkshire.

Last year, during the first four months, our exports amounted to 7,723,500 lbs., but our imports were 5,036,510 This year the movement has been more favorable to this country, the exports having been U,306,100 lbs. and the imports of yarn lbs. 3,411,504 lbs.

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.

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. Messrs. A.

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 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 Pour-fifihs of yarn, leaving (our-fifths for conversio.i into cloth. 58,000 bales are 45,400 bales. These represent the consumption consumption The of the looms. 130,000 looms now of 470,000 stopped would therefore be nearly 13,000 bales, so that the present rate of the consump'ioa of cotton is posa bly not over 45,000 bales per week. There are about 39,500,000 spindles 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 looms now standing will entail Ihe stoppage of over 8,700,000 spindles, or the partial stoppage of a greater number. The number of operatives idle is stated to be 70,000, or, including So extensive a strike has not their families, about 200,000. taken place in the previous history of the trade. The previous At that time largest one was in Augus' and September, 1842. 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., per week. The Easter holidays and the "strike" would probably 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 62,350 bales of 400 lbs. There were probably 20,000 bales, or 8,000,000 lbs., eaved by the holidays, which we deduct to make the comparison with this year correct, leaving 740,200,000 lbs.

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: Sundries. Total. 280,000 47,000 145.000 1,131,0C0 330,000 238,000 103.00 E. U. 8.

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. As already ' ; Bombay Shipments. — According to our cable despatch received there have been 5,000 bales shipped from Bombay to to day, Great Britain the past week and 4,000 bales to the Continent; while the receipts at Bombay during this week have been 27,000 bales.
