FlNANCyi REVIEW OF THE MONTH OF APRIL.
The month opened with one of the closest money markets
annum. The banks, as in the previous month, were extreinely poor in their legal tender reserves
and held at the first of the month about $3,000,000 in excess of the
25 per cent legal requirement, and this excess was subsequently
reduced to the insignificant sum of $892,675, as appeared by their
statement of the 13th of the month.
This low condition of ihe bank reserves was taken advantage
of by parties operating for a decline in stocks, to withdraw from
channels about five millions of greenbacks, and

How THK Bank
op Francr Gets Oold.— An
intelligent oor-
respondenl referring to the article on " the Price of Gold and
the
Bank of England rate of Discount," quotes our observation that
"the Bank of France must have some better method than the
Bank of England to replenish its gold reaeives, and that it may
be some simple but effective methnd, such as the buying of gold
from
foreign markets."
In coiifirraation of this* remark be observes that Mr. R. U. Patterson, from whom we quoted, the
author of the " Science of Finance," and a high authority in
EuKland, gives sub.stantially the same explanation in his work
The Economy
of Capital.
On page 242, in Bhickwood's Loopublished in 18(15, Mr. Patterson says " It is worthy
of notice that in times of crises the Bank of France adopts a different system from that pursued by the Bank of England. The
Bank of England seeks to obtain gold by raising its rate of discount, whereby our whole industry is checked and employment

Messrs. Bischofl'sheim and Goldschmidt have announced the
issue of the balance of £340,000 seven per cent rental bonds of
the Atlantic and Great AVestern Railway Company. The total
amount of these bonds is now £1,100,000. They are issued in
sums of £300 each, at the price of 88 per cent.
The prospectus of the Atlantic and Great Western Telegraph
Company continues to be advertised, so that it may be inferred
that the subscription list has not yet been filled. An effort has
been made to drive this company out of the field but the directors seem determined to carry the scheme through.
We have had a week of very dry weather, and of cold northerly
and easterly winds. Last night there was a sharp frost, but the
days arc brilliant, and, although the wind is cold, the sun shows
its power, and the lifTect of the wind is greatly mitigated. The contrast, however, between the day and night temperature is very
great. The wheat plant looks remarkably strong and vigorous.
1'he late dry weather has, in fact, had an excellent eSect, and so
far as wheat is concerned, there is a most encouraging prospect.
On light soils, however, and on those especially which have been
sown extensively with spring corn, a gentle fall of rain would be

extremely beneficial. The grass has not made much progress of
late, but as there is a good bottom to it, a great change is likely
as soon as growing weather has fairly set in. The prospect with
regard to fruit is, with the exception of wall fruit, encouraging.

Morgan & Co., have issued the prospectus of the
United States Mortgage Company, with a capital of |1, 000,000.
The bonds of the company are to bear interest at the rate of
six per cent per annum, and the price of issue is 05J per £100.
This is the second issue of capital, the first having been privately
subscribed in New York, principally by the parties who have
been the means of making the Credit Foncier Companies of
France and Austria successful.
The bonds, it is stated, are
secured by real estate, advances on which, on the part of the

o'clock, the inauguration of the new Cotton Exchange takes
place, and hereafter the meetings of the Exchange will be held
on the main floor of its own building, on Hanover Square. Soon
after the organization it became evident to the members that the
premises 143 Pearl street, which they then occupied, were too
contracted and otherwise unsuited for the purposes of the business transacted there. Consequently they began to look about
for new quarters, and, not quite a year since, purchased the property known as the Hanover Building, covering the entire

throughout the country, are a combination of a first-class Railroad
Security with a Real Estate Mortgage upon property worth treble
the issue of the Bonds. Their large and rapid sale, both at home
and abroad, and their absorption by Savings Banks and other conservative moneyed institutions, show at once their popularity
with the people and their high credit among financial men.
The Bonds are offered by the agents at par and interest in currency. They are exempt from United States tax, and bear 7.30
per cent, interest in gold. All marketable securities are received
in exchange for Northern Pacifies by Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co.,

small, so that it is difficult to make a purchase of any large
amount in round lots. The Treasury schedule for Mav calls for
the purchase of $2,000,000 each Wednesday, or $10,000,000 in the
month, but it seems extremely doubtful whether any considerable
amount can be obtained at or below par in gold. At the first purchase on Wednesday last, only $983,630 were offered, and $691,650 were purchased.

The latter stock had been almost unnoticed for a long time

To-day the market was rather heav^y towards the close, and
showed, on some stocks, the lowest prices of the week.
There has been some little excitement in Northwest in view of
the approaching election, but it seems doubtful whether any
change of importance will take place in the management of the
comjiany.

have been maintained, but a concession has sometimes been
made on transactions of considerable amount. The subject of the
export of United States bonds or other American securities to
supply the deficiency in our trade balance is considerably discussed, and if the experience of the past few years may lie taken
as a guide, it would be concluded that the export of bonds of one
class or another is likely to be large. Nominal rates remain as

The Gold OTarket.-Gold, after selling at 113 on Saturday last
declined early in the week to 112^, but has since been stronger,
and sold to-day at 113i, closing at 112J. The market has still
been sulijoct to speculative control, and in addition to the influences noticed in our last report, the rumors of possible hostilities
between the United States and Spain has been used to advance
the premium. In regard to an export demand for specie it should
be remembered that the .shipments of last year had no speedy and
remarkable effect upon the price of gold, as the highest price
made in May was 113i, in June 113^, and in July 113}. At the
Treasury sale of $3,000,000 on Thursday, bids amounted to
Customs receipts of the week have been $2,976,000.
$6,430,000.

INVESTMENTS-PRICES OF NEIV RAILROAD BONDS.
an exceedingly interesting subject for the observation of
investors to notice tbe large difference between the prices at
which new loans are brought forward in our market. It might
be supposed that there would be a certain price at or near which
t'very legitimate enterprise would enter the market with its
demands for capital, and that those which fell below the usual
rate would fail to attract investors, while those which exceeded
it would excite suspicions of their unsoundness.
But such does
not appear to be precisely the fact and there are numerous railroad enterprises always competing for loans in this city at
very difTerent rates of interest, all of them claiming to have
good prospects of becoming prosperous and Bubstantial companies. Taking, for instance, the list of new loans, as puolished on
page 550 of The Chronicle of April 27th, we find that among

It is not an altogether fair conclusion to assume that the soundness and prospect
of ultimate succees of each company is exactly proportionate
which they pay for money, though such is
unquestionably the general view taken by capitalists and financiers.
There are, however, some other elements to be considered
to the rate of interest

Under this act the Governor recently ^ugbt in the Alabama A
Chattanooga Railroad at the sale in bankruptcy. His action,
however, seems to bo very differently regarded, for while it is
approved by some it is severely criticised by others, as an unfavorable move for the State. We find the following in an Alabama
paper
" Regarding the State now as the purchaser of the road,
tbe
estimated liabilities of the State on account of the company may
be roughly stated in round numbers, as follows

the Governor had not bought the property for the State yeshad allowed the bidder who bid $311,000 for the

held the property subject to every lien of the State, and would
also have relieved the State of very heavy items."

From the above, a decrease of $10,099 15, or five per cent, will
be noticed in our receipts a result which is to be explained by
tbe prevalence of a severe epidemic in our city during the past
summer the general reduction of the cotton crop and other
untoward circumstances, a recurrence or continuance of which, it
is hoped, will not bo experienced the ensuing season.
Our operating expenses show a decrease of $.'6,948 31, or

general condition of the Company's property is as favorable, as
was then reported. ±<o reduction in these can be expected the

Extensive additions have been made to your road and equipment during the jiast year, amounting to $1,311,793 92. This
amount appears in the accounts as part of the "Cost of Road and
Equipment." The means whereby this outlay was met, were
derived mainly from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and
with similar expenditures previous to 1871, form the greater part
of the indebtedness to that Company, which as stated above is
$3,049,893 31. Of the whole amount of this debt $3,122,571 28
was incurred prior to January 1, 1871, as certified by your late

$300,000,01 which $115,000 were sold; the remaining $155,000
were subsequently pledged and deposited with trustees, as a
security for a corresponding amount of preferred stock. This
preferred stock is then, virtually, a substitute for and representative of that amount of second mortgage bonds.
Upcn their maturity the new issue of bonds for their redenip
tion was increased to ,$330,000 (to cover accrued interest thereon),
and as the bonds and the preferred stock then bore the same rate
of interest, the conversion of the one into the other, as might be

preferred stock has the single atlvantage of being registered and
transferable on the Company's books, but many prefer foregoing
this, for the convenience of collecting their interest by coujions,
and the greater facilities of transfer, &c., afforded by the bonds.
The total interest for which the Company is annually responsible on its bonded and other obligations is about $100,000.
The prospects of the Company are much involved in the extensions of its communications northward from Cheraw to Salisbury

The general tone
of this market has improved considerably
during the week, and all goods are now held with much firmness
confidence.
The most
noticeable
feature
has been the
bill abolishing the duty on teas and coftee, and a
revival of interest in these articles, an increased trade call prevailing, and some inquiry for speculation. It is as yet somewhat

TEA.
The movement
to
early in the week was a little slow and uncertain, influenced
some extent by the continued delay in the settlement of the duty question,
still holding their orders close down to a basis of actual necessities.
Holders, however, as a rule, were disposed to look upon the position as
generally favorable, and while none were urging sales, a few had entirely
withdrawn their stocks of desirable grades and looked for a higher range of
values. Fine and choice greens were undoubtedly the best sustained, and
indeed had somewhat advanced of late, but other qualities could only be
buyers
bought at full former figures, and in a general way ruled steady. The somewhat sudden announcement of the removal of the duty however, at once put
an entire new face upon the position of affairs, and in place of the previous
apathy, buyers not only became .anxious but excited, and the call for goods
in bond was quite liberal with advanced rates bid, and sellers in many cases
very materially increased. Oolongs met with the greatest amount of attention, with extensive sales effected in part to the trade and partly for speculation, and desirable parcels are now quite scarce. Other styes, however,
sympathise, and are thought likely to move soon, the general market for
invoices showing quite a healthy tone.
The line trade has not improved,
and It is thought will continue slow until after July Ist when the new law
goes into eftect. Sales of about 20,00J pkgs. Oolongs, 5,600 pkgs. greens, and
4,800 pkgs. Japans.
There have been no direct imports this week. The receipts indirectly have
been 224 pkgs. by steamer and 1,011 by rail overland.

COFFEE.
The opening
week was again
quite a dull one on the wholesale
market, and importers generally were obliged to carry the large and accumulating stocks and make still further additions to their expenses, simply because there was a fixed determination on the part of buyers to handle just as
of the past
coflees as possible, until the
store were low,
duty question became solved.
Stocks in
some jobbers
in fact almost bare of supplies, but they held to
the idea that their safety lay In purchasing merely enough to carry them
known and urgent needs, and hence the very light general call.
continued nominal to a great extent, but the recent declines noted in
our tables seems to have reached about sellers' limits, for the present at least,
and further concessions of importance were not allowed, though now and
then a slight shading was made in order to hurry negotiations. Late on
Wednesday afternoon, however, the trade were agreeably surprised by the
announcement that the tariff question had at last been settled, and since that
time the market has shown a material improvement, aud the tone as compared with last week is healthy and encouraging. As the duty is not
removed until July 1, it is thought that purchases by small jobbers, consumers, &c., will drag somewhat until that time, but there is every probability of more liberal sales in bond, and knowing now just where they stand,
an immense relief is afforded the trade generally, and they can work understandingly. A great many operators, under the excitement of the change
from complete prostration to a good prospect of doing a fair business, are
inclined to talk very buoyantly, and call prices decidedly higher, but as yet we
do not see any warrant for quoting much of an advance
Buyers now simply
name a price, something above what forced sales could have been effected at a
short time ago, and in many cases are not yet up to the quotations for some
time given as nominal values, and these would, in fact, have to be reduced
rather than advanced to show the actual position of the market. Still as the
new order of things has scarcely had time to fully develop as yet, all figures
had best be looked upon as nominal, with the understanding that probably
within a week or ten days matters will assume a somewhat more definite
shape. The greatest attention has been given to Brazils, and several sales
have been effected, both here and at the outports, but as the market is somethrough

The
specnlatlve movement in layer raisins noticed at the close of onr laat
has entirely subsided, but a moderate amount has been taken by the trade
during the week, for the purpose of replenishing their depleted stocks. The
supply in first hands Is small and well under conlrol.so that the advance haa
been firmly maintained. Currants do not show any material change. Turklab
prunes have been moderately active but prices continue weak and buyert hare
the advantage. Citron is a shade lower, but steady at the decline. Dates have

The market
for foreign descriptions has developed no new features of geneour last report, the volume of business proving fair, but not
and prices about as before, with probably a slight shading on some of
the poorer qualities. From grocers the call is more or less restricted by the
absence of interior buyers and orders, and the purchases for trade use have
been simply of such parcels as were required by the most absolute necessity,
while refiners though handling a few cargoes were by no means anxious, and
seemed to be quite particular as to quality, and their wants as to quantity
easily met.
Importers, however, finding only a small accumulation to carry
and the prospect that arrivals are not likely to run verj- large, have refrained
displaying any unusual anxiety, and ask comparatively full figures for all
the upper grades.
Domestic has ruled very firm and buoyant, the stock being
under complete control, and owners naming pretty much their own terms.
The demand was not active, but still a fair number of buyers were in attendance every day, and appeared to accept the position quite willingly. Syrups
were dull early in the week, but have since met with a little better demand and
arc firmer, especially the fine grades, which are Influenced by the advance in
sugar. Sugar house moliisscs fairly active, but prices a shade easier, except
for small lots of choice. Sales of 1,866 hhds. Cuba Muscovado, 54 hhds.

The more encouraglnj tone on raws noted In onr last has greatly increased
and the general market during the period under review has developed much
strength, with probably a healtlilor feeling extant than at any time since the
appearance of the new crop. The arrivals have been fair. Indeed rather
exceeded the outlet, and stocks accumnloted on all grades, but receivers were
quite willing to store, and only odd lots of common from pier were offered
with any show of freedom whatever. The recent upward turn of gold was o'
,ome advantage to the selling Interest, but Importers look much further than
this, and seem to consider the prospect as very encouraging
The supplies
are by no means marketed yet, of course, but the first general rush is over
and future receipts are likely to come along In such a steady, uniform manner
as to be controlled with comparative ease and an undue accumulation afloat
prerented thi! accounts from Cuba are very firm as to values, and In many
cases show no profit at rnllng rates here, while advices from Europe Indicate
thit the market* In that direction are Improving, and will In all probability
attract considerable supplies. There Is also a better outlook on the domestic
distribntion, as reports again come to hand of small accumulations in the
interior, and a probability that buyers will soon commence to re-stock with
the opening of navigation. The demand during the period under review has
been a cautious one. buyers rather objecting to and resisting the advance, but
still the wants of refiners liavc increased, and they were compelled
to handle
very fair amounts of stock, while there has also been some speculative inquiry
and a few onrchases for export, the latter mainly from the very choice grades
of centrifugal goods. Refined goods have been in pretty quick demand, and
the production disposed of about as fast as ready, with prices still on the
upward turn and a further advance established on most grades. The sales of

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
which had become somewhat de.
pleted by the improved demand from consumers which has sprung
up within^ the week. The weather hasbe^n very mild throughout
the country, and the retail demand coming somewhat later than
usual has been more than ordinarily active. lu the large cities a
liberal trade has been aone, and second orders liave come in by
mail for large amounts of staple and fancy goods. Resident buyers
lor out of town houses are in the markat to some extent mainly
for some of the less staple qualities of goods, as their large purchases of staples made earlier in the season have not become exliausted as yet. The general business of the season thus far has
been fully up to expectations and in the aggregate a considerable
for goods to replenish stocks
reported, notwithstanding
the fact the trade began unusually late. Collections have been
fairly prompt, and the finances of the trade are in a reatonably
healthy condition. Long credits have been granted in many cases,
but outstanding
bills are
met
at maturity.
Domestic Cotton Goods.— The features of the trade in do
mestic cotton fabrics have not been particularly marked, and
there is but little to note beyond a continued steadiness in the
tone, with, perhaps,
some improvement in the aggregate movedemand from the interior.
in consequence of the increased
Prints have sold well in light effects, with the choice continuing
and fresh colors. Prices are stifT, but without improvement. Brown and bleached cottons are moving with
some freedoi^. in assorted lots, and continue fairly firm at previous quotations. Colored cottons are quiet and firm at full figures.
