rnlted Stales Bond*. There has been some movement of
Government bonds from the country to this market, attracted by
the recent advance in prices, precisely such as we suggested in
our report of la.st week, would probably take place and this, with
the lower range of gold has had a tendency to depress prices.
The inherent strength of the market is well shown, however, in
the fact that the decline has been slight, and the closing prices of
to-day are generally but a small fraction hiwer than those of last
week. The demand from foreign buyers is still active, and there
is also more inquiry from domestic purchasers in this vicinity.
Closing prices daily have been as follows

Fbidat Evening, May 2, W8.
The Money Market. The week has been attended with
excitement,
chiefly
in
consequence
some
of the failure on Saturday last, April 26, of. the Atlantic National Bank, and the subsequent rumors which have been put afloat in regard to the solvency
of various otliet banks. As to the latter, however, their efTect
has been only temporary, as they arose from the excitement of
the moment. The failure of the Atlantic Bank was a bad one, as
it occurred tlirough the defalcations of its cashier to the extent
of over $400,000, which he alleges that he has lost through stock
speculations. The Clearing House Committee report substantially that the bank has available assets of $550,000 lo meet
liabilities of $615,000, and that there is also a liability of $163,000
for securities belonging to country correspondents, which the
cashier has appropriated, thus leaving a deficit of $327,000. The
stockholders are liable, to assessments to the extent of their
sto".k, being $300,000, and these, if paid, will protect the deposi-
—
and other creditors.
Three important subjects, although not new, aro prominently
brought before the public by this failure. First, as to tlie respon-
tors
sibility for certified checks deposited before the failure of the
bank making tho certification ; secondly, as to the extent to whicll
the Preeient and Directors of such a bank aro morally responsible for the defalcation
and, thirdly, the risk attached to the
holding of stock in a national bank.
During the early days of the week the money market continued
to show a gradual relaxation, with loans made from 7 per cent
currency up to 1 33 and interest, the highest rates being generally
made in the afternoon, wlien those parties who had not taken the
precaution to make up their accounts wore obliged to bid up the
market. On Thursday there was quite a sharp pre.«8ure on the
market, with an advance to J per lent, which was the result of
calling in loans to pay May interest by various corjiorations,
assisted perhaps by some speculative manipulation. To-day the
market continued very stringent in tho morning, but was easier
in the a'ternoon, when rates declined before three o'clock to 7 per
cent per annum. The express companies continue to report free
receipta of currency this week, and without artificial manoeuvering
to keep money up, there is every prospect of a better market
soon. Business in commercial papt r has been considerabls on a
basis of 0@12 per cent forprime names.

Railroad and Mlseella neona Slocks. The stock market
showed a weak tone in the first part of this week under the
depression which came from tlie failure of the Atlantic Bankand
consequent rumors put afloat in rejrard to other banks. There
was afterwards a rather firmer feeling which was again lost on
Thursday when the rates for money advanced to i per cent, a day,
and the failure was also announced of a Wall street liouae of
respectable standing though not heavily interested in stocks. Tlie
quick J-eaciion which has followed each turn towards firmer
prices seems to indicate that the market at present is lacking in
any strong and hearty support from the bull party. If the money
market settles down to a condition which seems to encourage the
idea of a continuance of fairly easy rates, it is possible that more
and higher prices will be seen.
activity
To day there was no special feature, and the general market
was dull, with a tendency to weakness.

" It
will be
perceived that the net
earnings lor the year 1872 (amounting to $960,083 51) are amjly
sufficient to pay the annual interest on the entire bonded debt ot
the Allegheny Valley and Low Grade roadS, without having as
yet received any income from the latter road.
" The expenses of working the road have been 57 1-10 per cent,
of the grops earnings, being an increase on last year, caused principally by the unusual severity of the winter.
" The bonded debt of your company remains without material
change.
" The increasing tonnage upon your road demanding greater
facilities than it is possible to provide over a single track, your
manager thought proper that another track should be conslructed
from Pittsburg to the mouth of Ked Bank, there connecting with
the Low Grade road.
" The additional track thus authorized has already been completed from Pittsburg to Hulton, a distance of twelve miles, and
that portion of tbe S'cond track extending from Hulton to Red
Bank, has been put under contract, and will be built as rapidly
as the means of your company will permit.
" The location of the Plum Creek branch was commenced late
in the summer of 1871, and completed in December of that year.
" During the summer of 1872 it became known to your Board
that the Philadelphia, & Erie Railroad Company were willing to
dispose of a controlling interest which it held in the stock of the
Oil Creek & Allegheny River Railroad Company. Your President
immediately opened negotiations for its purchase, and on the 8th
day of August, 1873, a contract was closed by which the Allegheny Valley Railroad Company became owner of a sufficient
amount of this stock to give your company control of the Oil
Creek & Allegheny Kiver Railway, and it is now operated by
:
•
,
route selected for the Low Grade starts from the Phila& Erie Railroad at Driftwood, and connects with the
Allegheny Valley at the junction of tho Red Bank creek with the
Allegheny river, a distauce of 1 10 miles from Driftwood.
" The prospective advantages and value of the line known as
the Low Grade Road, are spoken of in high terms. Your managers
tbink that tbey will be ready to open that portion of your road
extending from the mouth of Red Bank to New Bethelem, a distance of twenty-one miles, by the middle of April. They expect to
reach Brookville, a further distance of about twenty miles, by
the first of June, and the Summit tunnel, a further distance of
twenty-four miles, by the 1st of July, and they hope to complete
the line through to Driftwood, where it connects with tho Philadelphia & Erie Railroad, by the middle of September or the 1st of
October, 1873."

The ordinary general meeting of shareholders will be made

purposes.
The directors report continued unanimity existing with the
American railways in connection with this company, and it has
been mutually agreed with the Michigan Central that an adequate supply of rolling stock is to be provided by both coicpanirs,
in order more efficiently to carry out the one-pnrso system for the
division of through traffic under the ten years' agreement.
The directors of this company invite tenders till May 13 for
the grading, bridging, &c., required for doubling the track of the
main line from Windsor to Glencoe (78 miles), the junction of
their new air line from Glencoe to Buffalo. Plans are on exhibition at the office of Mr. John Kennedy, Chief-Engineer of the
Great Western Railroad, Hamilton, from whom forms of tender,
specifications, and all necessary information can be obtained on
application.

Piedmont Railroad. Legal proceedings have for some time
past been pending in the courts against the Piedmont Railroad
in Virginia on a mortgage.
Application was made to the Attorney
General to seize the railroad under the act of 1801, ou the ground
that it was confiscated to the government, having been constructed and used in the interests of the rebellion. The AttoroeyGeneial ban decided that the President's proclamation of pardon
of 18C8 operated so as to restore to the corporators or stockholders all their rights, and therefore the right of the government to
seize the road is barred. All proceedings against the road will
be dro])ped. The interests at issue were about a million and a
half of dollars.

Delaware, with power to consolidate and amalgamate with other
railroads in the States of Now Jersey, Maryland and Delaware, as
may be requisite to make a coutinuoua line to Baltimore, Maryland, and Norfolk, Virginia.
The road owns and controls the ferry from Bayeide, N. J., to
Bombay Hook, Del., and the steamers between its terminus at
Port Monmouth and Siindy Hook and New York. For the purpose of facilitating its business the company is now having constructed a number of large boats, one of which wiil be completed
by the m'ddJe of June.
The officers of the roarj say that it will bo completed about July
1 (the contracts specifying that date as the limit), and that it will
be a trunk line extending from New York to St. Louis by means
of a connection which will bo made with the Haiti iv«>re & Ohio
Railroad near Baltimore. The new line, they claim, will be 75
miles shorter than the Erie Railway and will run throusfh the
most fruitful regions of Now Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia. The capital stock of the road will bo !JT,000,OUO, and
the bonded debt |6,000,000.

Memphis & Charleston. The Memphis (Tenn.) Avlanr/ie
says that Mr. R. T. Wilson of New York has agreed to place the
new income bonds of the company, on certain conditions,
which have been accepted by the company. In the first place the
maturity of the bonds, originally fixed at one to ten years, is to
be changed to six months to live years, and secondly the Trustee
is to be vested with more power, looking to the security of the
holders of the bonds. By the terms of the lease of the road to
the Southern Security Company, the Memjihis & Charleston Bailroad (;ompany is empowered, in the event of default nf payment of renal, to dispossess the lessees within ninety days
after such default. It is stipulated that the Trustee sliall have
equal power. Under this arrangement the amount of bonds will
be $600,000, bearing 10 per cent interest. Of this amount $50,000 at each date will become due Sepieiuber I'). 1S7;5, March 15,

and the balance,
$70,000, March 15 and September 15, 1877
$75,0C0, March 15, 1878. The proceeds are to be used to pay off
the floating debt and to provide for notes which have lately been
protested. The rental of the road, which, with its franchise, is
the basis of security for the above bonds, is 3 per cent annually
for the next four years frofn July 1, 1873, and 6 per cent per
annum tliereafter, on the capital ftocu, which, is $5,250,000 or
thereabouts. The amount of rental, therefore, against the bonds
and interest as above, will by the time of the last maturity
amount to |945,000, receivable aemi-anniially.

East Alabama & Cincinnati.— This Alabama Railroad is to
be sold at auction at the Artesian Basin, in Montgomery, Ala.,
at noon on May 1, to satisfy the mortgage made to Henry Clews
and Wm. H. Barnes, July 1, 1870, subject to the lien of (ho Staie
of Alabama on its indorsements of its first mortgage bonds, and
to the lien of the holders of these indorsed bo.ds, amounting to
$400,000, and to the further lien of the holders of the unindorsed
first mortgage bonds, amounting to $3,500.
The line is described in the aiinouncetnent of the sale as "all
the continuous railroad of said company from its terminus at
Eufala. in the State of Alabama, to its terminus at Guntersvillo,
in the State of Alabama."
The road is intended to run from Eufala to Oiintersvillc, 2'.'0
miles, and two sections of it are in operation, one from Opelika
north to Buffalo Wallow, 22 miles, and a short section of five and
one-half miles from Attala, on the Alabama & Cnttanooga road,
west to Gadsden. Considerable grading, we believe, lias beeu
done on the northern end of the line, between Attala and Gnntersville.

$7,000,000 will be devoted to c.->rapleting tlie road from Waterbury to Fishkill, a distance of 77 miles. Tha total length of the
line will then be about 400 miles. Tho administration of the
Erie Railway is deiirous of having the line completed, as it is a
valuable connection, and can be made the medium of supplying
New England with millions of dollars worth of coal. For this
reason the Erie Directors have pushed their claims as far as possible.— i\r. Y. Tribune.

increased activity, one line of 3,000 bales being taken for export
but to-day, with tiie Liverpool advices quiet, little was done, and
the close here was also quiet at the quotations of last Friday.
For future delivery there has been considerable doing, but the
market has lacked spirit. Early in the week there were many
exchanges of maturing contracts for those running to the later
months. Prices gradually weakened until the opening of Thursday's business, when Liverpool came in with an unexpectedly
favorable report, with l-16d. advance for early deliveries, and in
the course of that day prices were J@.3-16c. higher. But today
the Liverpool report was disappointing to op.?rator8 for a rise,
and most of the improvement of yesterday 3va8 lost. Alter 'change,
the first sale for November was made, 200 bales at 17Jc. The
prices for futures last reported were (basis low middling) 18 9 16c.
for May, ISic. for Juue, 18 15-100. for July, and 18 13-1 Oc. for
August. The total sales of this description for the week are

and yet it has luled
quite firm. Quotations for spot cotton were at our last considerably bilow early futures, and this circumstance, tojrether with
small receipts at our ports aud a little steadier feeling at Liverpool, resulted in an advance on Monday of \c., which was

steady tone and purchnsc with more apparent confidence. The supply U kept
down pretty well, and neither the available stock nor the afloats are of sufficient

Woolen
Goods.
—The
more staple varieties of
woolens of medium and fine grades have sold to a moderate
extent, and the supply is pretty well reduced, while prices show
a fair degree of steadiness but cannot be considered especially
buoyant. The poorer grades of cassimeres and faced goods have
been dull, and the market for these descriptions is very irregular,
prices being barely quotable in the absence of sales. The decline
in wool has depressed values of goods to some extent, altliough
(roods have been relatively lower than the raw material for some
time past,
and should not be affected by any decline in that comr
„
, ,
,
modity. Flannels remain flat and heavy, with no important sales.
Other woolen goods are selling moderately, but in no branch ia
there a very satisfactory degree of activity, and prices on all lines
are rather heavy.
Foreign Goods. Tlie distribution of foreign goods through
the jobbing houses has been more active this week than for some
time before. The sales from first hands have not been liberal,
and the market fails to show many more favorable signs than it
did at the time of our last report. The arrivals of foreign fabrics
have fallen o£F materially, but the season is so far advanced that
there is but a small prospect of holders being able to clear out
their goods except at prices which will afford no remunerative
margin above the cost of landing. The auction sales do not
realize very satisfactory pricts, but a great many good s have been
disposed of through these channels during the season, and the
offerings are still liberal.
Staple fabrics are firmly held at the
current rates, but strictly Spring and Summer goods are easier.
