United States securities, and the evidence they all give is,
that they are having very limited offerings of four per

ten-dollar certificates in large amounts, and must continue
to do so until July, when the calls mature and the certificates are convertible; but the bonds they are not carrying,
and there are but few on the street. In a word, it is a
remarkable circumstance of this very remarkable negotiation that the four per cents as issued have gone
directly into the hands of investors; and in all the discussions with regard to the future standing of these
securities, that, at least, will have to be admitted.

The question which now forces itself upon the mercantile community of New York, is, cannot this concentration of interests and growth of influence receive a
new impulse. That something of the sort is necessary,
must be admitted, even by those who take the most
cursory view of the subject. New York is exposed to
sharp rivalry on all sides. Efforts are made to the north
and the south of us to divert our export trade to other
channels, with some degree of success. These efforts

London, Saturday, May 17, 1879.
There has been a fair demand for money daring the week
and the rates of discoant have shown a hardening tendency;
bat the Bank return does not indicate that any increased inquiry
has been experienced.
There is, in fact, a falling oflF of
£261,719 in the total of '• other securities," and it is anticipated,
therefore, that the prevailing firmness is altogether temporary.
The supply of mercantile bills is still very limited, and at the
present time of the year any addition to it is improbable. The
recent improvement in trade is, however, fairly maintained, and
the reports regarding the progress of the wool sales are still

cross-bred wools have risen in value about Id. per lb. Wool
being very low in price, this is a very satisfactory feature; but,
unfortunately, it is the chief of the favorable symptoms which
present themselves. After working with great caution for some
months, Yorkshire manufacturers find themselves very short of
the raw material, and it also appears that the heavy stocks of
goods have been considerably reduced. The present activity
at the wool sales is chiefly due to the fact that home buyers are
making largely increased purchases. There is also a fair
demand for wool for export to Germany, but, owing to the
slackness of trade in France, French buyei-s are operating to a

China the spring is reported to be cold, and from sunny Italy
there are serious complaints about the backwardness of the
season and the scarcity of mulberry leaves. Unless there be a

Western Union Railroad.— In the foreclosure case of the
Fanners' Loan & Trust Company vs. The Western Union Railroad Company, a large number of affidavits were filed on a
motion for injunction before Judge Drummond, and some of
them contained matters of a good deal of interest. The first
one was by John S. Kennedy, attomev for John Cameron,
George A. Jamison, and James Holdone, Uquidators of the City
of Glasgow Bank. These liquidators, as reported in the Milwaukee SeiitihH, are the owners of 2,926 bonds of the Western
Union Railroad Company for $1,000 each. In February last the
coupons on these bonds were presented for payment in New
York, but default was made. For ten years before that time
the Western Union road had been in the hands of the Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul road, which owned one-half its stock and
ten shares over, making $2,100,000 out of the whole $4,000,000
of capital stock. Of the remaining $1,999,000 of stock, all but
$7,000 is held by the liquidators of the Glasgow Bank. Previous
to February last Mr. Kennedy conferred with Alexander
Mitchell, President of the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad
and of the .Western Union road, concerning the investments
of the Gla-sgow
Bank in the bonds and stock of the
Western Union road, and Mr. Mitchell represented that
the stock was worthless, and the bonds not worth more than 60
to 65 cents on the dollar, as the road could then be constructed
for much le.ss than when it was built. He also intimated that
he would buy the bonds held by the bank at GO per cent of the
par value, provided the whole $1,999,000 of capital stock should
be thrown in. On Mr. Kennedy declining this offer, Mr. Mitchell
offered 65 per cent for the bonds. This, too, was declined, and
Mr. Mitchell then said default would probably be made in the
Total

Besides these operating expenses, there have been paid for
taxes and interest on bonds, $1,786,997, and to the Racine Warehouse & Dock Company on its contract, $161,527, leaving a
balance to the credit of the income account, April 30, 1879, of
$474,142. The building of the road and branches, right of way,
engines,
and
cars,
&c.,
was

which

were
provided from the earnings. The remainder was paid by the
issue of $4,000,000 of stock and $3,500,000 of bonds.

Attention is called to the 6 per cent gold dollar and sterling bonds of the Province of Quebec, due 1908. The principal
and interest is payable in New York or London. These Ininds
are now offered by Messrs. Blake Bros. & Co., .'V4 Wall street,

Railroad and Rllscellaneoua StocHs. The stock market
has been fairly active, without any particular feature of special
or unusual interest. The market is awaiting further developments as to the low-priced Western stocks, the coal stocks, the
trunk lines, and so on throughout each class or group of stocks
which rise or fall together, as affected by the same influences.
The very high priced stocks are held with firmness, and as fast
as any stock becomes settled as a dividend-paying security with
a good prospect of remaining such, it may be expected to pass
out of the speculative class into the hands of permanent holders.
he possibility of a coal combination seems now to be better,
and the advance of 25 cents per ton by some of the anthracite
companies, in their schedules for Jane, is regarded as a hopeful
circumstance. It is hardly possible to take a very favorable
view of the present aspects of trunk line business, and with the
establishment of Wabash on the baais of a new route for through
greatly to
traffic it seems probable that low rates will continue,

State and Railroad Bonds. The advices from New Orleans
are quite discouraging as to the Louisiana debt question, but
possibly the convention may fail to agree upon the injurious
measures proposed.
Railroad bonds have been active and strong as usual, there
being some exceptions as to steadiness of price in those bonds
whicli are sold heavily on speculation, and which vary in price
according to the temper of the market.

Thursday, as Friday (Decoration Day) is a legal 01 "bank" holiday.
There has been a trifle less of buoyancy in the financial markets, owing partly to the decline in government bonds which
took place in the middle of the week, and put a check, for the
moment, on the activity in that department of business. The
decline is attributed mainly to the accumulation of the funding
certificates which have been taken so freely in the large cities,
and in good part on speculative account, for the purpose of realizing the premium on 4 per cent bonds into which they are
fundable. Secretary Sherman stopped the further sale of these
certificates in large cities, and the Syndicate virtually withdrew
from the market as sellers of 4 per cents, so that there was a
sharp recovery in prices on Thursday, when bonds closed at 103^
bid, against lOSf on Wednesday. The called bonds yet outstanding and the dates when they mature are as follows

" The cause of this disaster has never been definitely ascertainHer commander was a man of large experience on ths coast,
and was universally admitted to be a skillful and scientific
navigator. It is probable that the .ship's course was afifeeted by
currents, which on that coast are often swift and changeable.
f9" The steamship Alaska left San Francisco, on March 6th, for
Japan and China. She encountered heavy weather from the
start, and, on the 23rd, a severe hurricane, causing her to put
into Honolulu, where she repaired, and sailed for Yokohama,
April 12th, arriving there April 30th. With these exceptions,
there has been no loss or damage to Any of the company's
steamers, while much money has been expended in repairs and
improvements; they are now in better condition than at the
commencement of the year."

The report says " The operations of the road during the
year have not met the hopes of increased business. The actual
result has been a falling off of $37,157 in the gross receipts, with
a reduction of $27,389 in the expenses
thus makmg a diminution of $9,767 in the net earnings, as compared witn last year.
This result has arisen, to a great extent, from the extremely
low rates on Western freight, and reduced rates on the business of connecting roads."

The Board has not yet taken any active mea.°ure8 to extend
the road to the Ohio River under the authority given by the
City Council of Covington last year, unexpected obstacles having been encountered. The company has three yeara from
date of grant within which to make the extension. Neither
are they prepared to submit to the stockholders any recommendations for an extension of the road southwardly.
Notwithstanding the fact that the business of the road during the year failed to realize fully our expectations, we are
gratified: with being able to report that out of the earnings of
the road two dividends have been declared, one in November

lad chartered. The leading men of the Metropolitan and New
York Elevated Roads, however, stepped in, and, purchasing a
majority of the stock, put the llanhattan charter in their
pockets, and formed themselves into rival corporations. The
gentlemen forming the original Manhattan Company, all of
whom are interested in one or the other of the two roads, continued to hold meetings, and therefore they now claim that the
charter originally granted them is still good."
The Tribune says: "The original stock of the Manhattan
Company was subscribed for by prominent members of the two
companies. It is said that the organization of the Manhattan
Company has been maintained, and that its building rights
under its charter have not expired. By the terms of the agreement with the Manhattan Company, the funded debts of the
New York and Metropolitan Companies will be equalized. On
both roads the funded indebtedness is limited to $600,000 a
mile. When the extension shall have been completed, it is said
that the lines of the two roads will nearly be equal in length.
The funded debt of the entire line is restricted to $17,000,000
for both companies. In regard to the terms of the lease, H. R.
Bishop, a director, on the part of the New York Road, of the
Manhattan Company, said yesterday
" The Manhattan Company guarantees to the companies the payment
of the interest on the funded debts and an annual dividend of 10 per
cent on the capital stock of both companies. In addition it will issue to
each of the two companies $0,500,000 of its own stock. On this stock it
will pay dividends wheu earned. The issue of .iilS, 000,000 ef its stock
tothc two corairanies is partly at least on account of the payment to it
of about $9,000,000 or $10,000,000. This sum Will be paid in c(iual
parts by the two companies, aud is to be devoted by the Manhattan
Company to the completion of the liues. The payment is not, therefore,
a bonus to the companies. The New York Company has its share of this
Bum ready for iuimediate-pfvymeut. The stock of the Manhattan Company, which it will receive then, is therefore clear of any expense to the
company.'
J
The Tribune of May 30 also reports the lease ratified by a
Tote of the Metropolitan Company, and says " In the meeting
of the Metropolitan stockholders yesterday, every share of
stock issued was represented, General Porter and U. M. Pullman, who were absent, having sent on proxies. After ratifying
the action of the ofScers and directors in executing the lease, it
"was unanimously voted to increase the capital stock of the
company from 13,000,000 to $6,500,000. After this meeting
the Manhattan Company met. After confirming the acts of the
officers in executing the lease of the elevated roads, it was
lesolved to increase the capital stock from .$3,500,000 to $13,000,000, for issue to the two elevated companies.

of E. Ellery Anderson, trustee, &c., wUl be denied, except as to

Connecting Company to the Midland Company, but is not

It is probable that the case will be appealed.
Northern Paciflc—The directors of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company have decided to place under contract for
construction the 200 miles of road )ying between the head
waters of the Columbia River and Lake Pend Oreille. Several
cargoes of rails hare been shipped for the work already. The
building of this line, it is said, will be pushed forward to speedy
completion. The stockholders have consented to the issue of
the securities to be placed on this division. Work on the
Missouri Division, lying between the Missouri and Y'ellowstone
Rivers, is progressing rapidly. In consequence of the advanced
price of the land grant stock, the company has made a reduction of from $1 to $2 an acre in the price of its lands east of the
Missouri River. The vacancy in the office of president of the
company, caused by the resignation of C. B. Wright, was filled
by the election of Frederick Billings, of Woodstock, Vt., for a

weak, but the quotation remained at 13c. for middling uplands,
with a better business for home consumption. Thursday the
market was quiet and unchanged. To-day being a general holiday the Exchange was closed. The speculation in cotton for
future delivery has been active, but at fluctuating and irregular
prices, and the net result to the close on Wednesday evening was
a decline of 30®33 hundredths for this crop and September, and
an advance of 2@4 hundredths for the next crop. The disparity
between August and December, amounting to 2 04-100, was thus
reduced to 1 81100. The speculation in the later months seemed
to be for the purpose of checking as much as possible the decline
in this crop; it had no basis in crop accounts, because they continued to be exceptionally favorable. Yesterday, the opening was
lower, but the close firmer, by 15@20 points'for this crop, and
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 801,900
bales, including
free on board.
For immediate delivery the
total sales foot up this week 2,571 bales, including 145 for export,
2.388 for consumption, 38 for speculation, and
in transit. Of
the above,
bales were to arrive.

Tlieae figures indicate a Aferetue in the cotton in sight to-ntght
of 2(1,560 bales as compared with the same date of 1878, a deoreiue of 973,377 bales as comparrxl with the corresponding dattt
of 1877, and a decrease of t!59,355 bales as compared with 187(i.
Ggf" The very decided decrease in the comparison with last
year in the visible supply for the last two weeks is du»
to a change which t(X)k place in May last year, spinners
having taken cotton out of the market during that month
very rapidly. Ellison gave the invinble supply or spinners' utock
in all Europe, May 1, 1878, at 238.000 bales, and on June 1,
1878, at 443,000 bales; this shows a gain in invimble supply and a
consequent loss in visible supply of 203,000 bales, about all of
which was secured during the last half of the month tho
Continental increased spinners' stocks was mainly in Russia.
At the Interior Pouts the movement— that is the receipts
and shipments for the week, and stocks to-night, and for the
—
corresponding week of 1878— la set out in detail in the following

Qdnny Bags, Baooino, &c. Bagging has been In better
request since our last, and there is a firmer feeling am^ng
bolders, who are not disposed to sell, except at full figures.
There have been sales, since our last, of 1,800 rolls in Boston at
10^"2O. for standard quality, while here sales of 1,200 rolls are
reported, of various weights, at 9i@10jc.
with 94@10Jc. tho
best figures at the close, according to quality.
Butts are also
ruling firmer, and there Is a fair demand rejjorted by dealers.
heard of sales of 3.000 bales at 8Jc. for prime quality on spot,
aiid holders are now asking 2i(a2Jc., according to quality, the
latter for prime bagging descriptions.
To arrive parcels are
reported placed to the extent of 1,500 bales at 2i@3ic.

A contract ha.? been made with Svltzors to save the cargo (cotton)
and land It at Fredrlcksliiiven at 20 per cent for dry and 30 per
cent for wet, and the lii|> with the reiiiamliig-balM at 30 pir w^nt
at Elsiiiorc. On the Hth about 250 bales were taken out and laiuled
at Fredrlckshaven. but W(irk was stopped, owing to bad weather.

FRIDAY, P. M., May 30. 1879.
There has been only a moderate demand for flour, and prices
have weakened, especially for high grades so much so that in
—
is a pretty general reduction of 10@
with only favorite and special brands bringing
outside figures ; others strictly prime going 25@50c. under
them. Common extras and extreme low grades, not being very
plenty, have been best supported. There has been no important change in rye flour and com meal. Yesterday, there was no
decided change, but prices favored buyers.
The wheat market has been moderately active, and prices are
without much change, except for winter growths, which are
lower. Spring growths have received some support from the
detention of supplies by canal and the fact that owing to a
speculative " comer" we are much below the parity of prices
at the Western markets. Besides, the ocean steamers have
accepted grain shipments very readily owing to the strike of the
'longshoremen embarrassing the loading of other descriptions
of freight. On Wednesday, the transactions were large, embracing No. 2 Spring, ?1 04@1 05 on the spot and $1 03 for
June ; No. 2 red winter, $1 16@1 16^ on the spot and $1 15 for
July, and No. 1 white, $1 13@1 133^ on the spot and $1 13^@
1 14 for June ; also, extra white, on the spot, at |1 15^, and
rejected spring 74c. Yesterday, spring growths and white wheats
were firm, but red and amber winter a little weak.
Indian com materially declined early in the week under review, followed by some recovery in values ; and on Wednesday,
with the non-arrival of supplies due from the Erie Canal, the
sales were at 44^@44%c. for No. 2 mixed afloat, and 46M@
46%c. for Aug., with June deliveries held at 44Mc. and July
45c.; steamer mixed sold at 43?4c. spot and May, 43Mc. for
June, and 43 /^c. for July. White com continues comparatively
scarce. Yesterday, the market was weak, with sales of No 2
