January the spinners started off
famously, taking almost 100,000 bales more than in
1876; but in February and March, under the threats of
which
were
becoming from
week to week increas-
ingly alarming, spinners bought about 340,000 bales less
than during the same month of
1876.
In April, similar
influences continued, and the
takings were only slightly
increased; but as the comparison was, as stated above,
with a very dull month in
1876, there is no essential dif¬
ference in the
April aggregate for the two years.
Altogether, we find the net import, since 1877 began,
has been about the same
as
for the corresponding
months of 1876, and the
spinners’ takings 244,810 bales
less. The movement since
the first of October (seven
months) has been as follows:

price of money has induced bankers to with¬
preference shares of the principal
British railway companies, and the value of these has been
steadily declining of late. It is evidently believed that a more
remunerative means of employing capital can now be found.
Banking profits being somewhat larger, tbe value of bank shares
has been improving of late.
The Portuguese Government are in the market arranging a
loan which shall yield them about £3,000,000 net.
The public sales of colonial wool were commenced on Tuesday
evening. The arrivals since last sales have amounted to 307,598
bales, viz.: Sydney, 54,489 bales,Port Phillip, 102,797, Van Diemen’s
Land, 9,706, Adelaide, 38,620, Swan River, 3,670, New Zealand,
68,414, Cape, 29,902 bales, of which about 12,000 bales (8,000
Australian and 4,000 Cape) have been forwarded to the country
and the Continent. There has been a good attendance of buyers,
but prices have receded from 8 to 10 per cent compared with
February last. There has been a disposition shown to speculate
in wool at present quotations, and this feeling baa prevented the
reduction in prices being greater than it has been. The stocks of
goods and of the raw material in various stages of manufacture,
both here and on the Continent, continue very large.
The Board ot Trade returns issued this week, for April and the
four months ended April 30, are more favorable, and have had a
good effect. They seem to point to the conclusion that had it no*1
been for the war, our commerce would have been assuming a fair
degree of activity. The following are the totals:

Owing to the large importations in September and October,
1875, the value of this season's importations is still considerably
less than in 1875-6. It is well to point out at this critical period
that when the supplies
remaining uncousutned at the close of last
season are
added to this season's imports,
there is no deficiency
apparent. Up to the present time supply has kept pace with
demand, but obviously at the expense of our granaried stocks,
which have been very largely diminished.

the 150 principal markets of
England and Wales, amounted to

Savannah City Bonds.—The Express to-day says: A meeting
of the bondholders of the city of Savannah was held to-day at
J. B. Manning’s, No. 14 Wall street. About $100,000 worth of
bonds was represented at the meeting. Judge Schley presided.
Mayor Wheaton, of Savannah, was introduced. He said the
funded and contingent debt of the city of ‘Savannah amounts to
$4, 185,000, and by scaling the interest, the whole amount can be
paid off in twenty-five years—-the interest to be 3 per cent for ten.
years, 4 per cent for five years, and 6 per cent for ten years.
The
annual resources of the city amount to $350,000, and the expenses
of the city government are $180,000.
A proposition that the bondholders accept eighty cents on the
dollar in new 6 per cent bonds, was carried by a vote of 8 to 3.
This action is not considered as binding except on those acceding
to it, but is regarded as an initiative for further action by the
bondholders.
—Mr. W. M. Kuhlow, who has recently come to this city from
London, has obtained a reputation among statisticians by his
system of giving a series of complicated figures (finance, trade,
or
commerce) in the form of striking and trustworthy diagrams.
These are known as “grapho statistics/’and are practically useful
and valuable to business men who are interested in the subjects
which they represent.
Mr. Kuhlow has done some very hand¬
some work of this sort in England, and offers his services here
either for the ordinary charts, showing ranges of prices, &c., or
for more elaborate work in different colors.
—A

Railroad and Miscellaneous Slocks.—Stocks
have
been
irregular and, during the past two days, rather weak than other¬
wise—the
principal exceptions to this being the coal stocks,
Telegraph, Northwest and Rock Island. The
events having most influence on the stock market were the
reports of a disagreement between the trunk line freight agents
as
to the pooling of
earnings under the recent arrangement
made by the officers, which was afterwards denied, and the
controversy between the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York
Central as to fast passenger trains. The action of the coal com¬
panies’ officers was also important, as they finally adopted the
following resolution:
Western Union
“
It is hereby resolved that from June 15 to July 15 theie shall be a total
suspension of mining, on condition that the Reading Company approve the
same.”
^
,
Mr. Keim, the representative of the Reading
Company, voted
for the resolution with the
understanding that he did so subject
to the concurrence of President Gowen, who
is now in Europe.
Western Union Telegraph has made a point or two in
maintaining
injunctions granted against the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company in Missouri and Indiana, whereas the latter company is
rejoicing over the completion of its lines t® Nashville, Tenn.

United States Bonds. -There has been a
very fair business
doing in governments at steady prices. A large part of the demand
comes from the holders of five-twenties called
in, and in addition
to this there is a considerable
inquiry stimulated by the large
amount of idle
money seeking employment.
Many purchasers
of governments last
year made a loss by the decline in prices
which followed the active
lunding operations, but at the present
prices of 4£ per cent bonds there seems to be little reason to
anticipate any decline of importance, unless it should be from
some
political convulsion, or other matters affecting the credit of'
the United States
Government, which, it is hardly necessary to
remark, are not within the scope of ordinary expectations.
The forty-seventh call for the
redemption of 5-20 bonds, being ’
the first call for the
1865s, new, January and July, 1865, has
been issued by Secretary
Sherman, and is for $6,000,000 coupon,
and $4,000,000
registered bonds, on which interest will cease

foreign trade in the last month reported (March) showed a
decided change from previous mouths, and if an excess of import**
should continue to any important degree, the price of gold would
probably be affected. Then the extent of Secretary Sherman’s
movements in selling bonds and hoarding gold remains to be fur¬
ther developed.
The export of coin in payment for called bonds
is also an element of much immediate influence, although this is
balanced when the whole transaction of selling new bonds and
paying off the old is finally completed. Another consideration of
importance is the European war and the uncertainty as to what
other Powers may become engaged in it.
The export of cfln by
to-morrow’s steamers is estimated at about $750,000.
Oil gold

The different portions of the road are covered by
distinct mortgages, which, as we are advised, in
some cases partially overlap each other.
The property can, how¬
ever, hardly be made of value except as a whole, nor would the
present net earnings of any portion of it suffice to pay interest on
any new mortgage debt.
It only remains, therefore, to foreclose
all the mortgages at once, excepting the small first mortgage of
$477,000, which is sufficiently secured, and to convert them into
one equal non interest-bearing security.
This can be effected
with little trouble and delay through the usual process of fore¬
closure and sale, followed by a subsequent reorganization and the
issue of stock to represent the old bonded indebtedness with the
arrears of interest thereon. Upon this, dividends (however small)
can be paid whenever they are earned.

May 25, 1877
Friday, P. M..
There has been a lurtber and important decline in flour the
past week. The low and medium grades have given way most.
The reduction from the highest figures early in the month is
from $1 to $1 50 per barrel.
Some of the favorite trade and
family brands are comparatively scarce, and the production is
much smaller than last year;
holders are consequently less
inclined to press sales at the reduction, though complaining
much of the dulness of trade. Rye flour is also decidedly lower.
Corn meal is depressed. To-day, shipping extras were dull and
drooping at $7@$7 25.
The wheat market has been dull and prices drooping, until
recent sales show a reduction from the highest figures of the
month of 20@30c. per bush.
The speculation at the Western
markets has also quite broken down.
Besides dull foreign
accounts, an element of weakness was developed in the free offer¬
ing of new winter wheat for July delivery. In the meantime,
however, the arrivals of wheat at the principal Western markets
are scarcely more than a third as large as
last year, and stocks, not.
withstanding the almost total cessation of exports, are rapidly
reduced by home consumption. Amber winter sold yesterday at
$1 95, and to-day No. 2 Milwaukee at $1 75 in store.
Indian corn has declined 7@10c. a bushel for parcels on the
spot, under free receipts by canal and the delivery of large
quantities on contracts, which were in turn thrown upon the
_
market.

decline to 57£@58c. for steamer mixed on the spot, and 59@60c. for
