Currency Act requires would call for a
legal tender reserve of about $47,000,000. But the banks
really hold $53,801,622. That is, they are stronger in reserve
than the law requires. They hold an excess of legal tenders
amounting to no less a sum than $7,051,501 which is cer¬
tainly a very handsome exhibit. The question arises, how¬
ever, how it has happened that with so much strength the
banks were in such distress as to be obliged to charge usuri¬
ous rates for money throughout the recent period of financial
stringency. Perhaps a partial answer to this question may
be suggested by an analysis of the elements of which the

about $150,000,000. This then is the scheme for which
authorization is now being bargained at Albany, and which
we expect each morning to learn has been passed with a few
hours consideration, the press having had no opportunity to
discuss it, and the people no chance to confer with their rep-

vital consequence.
Indeed, it would appear, from the manner in which this
and other important projects are handled at Albany, that the
business of our legislators is not to discuss the merits of measures or their
bearing upon the public good, but rather to

compete in the food markets of Europe, and to feed our own
seaboard population cheaply enough to place our manufactures upon a favorable basis for competing with those of other
countries. Upon our whole line of railroad, from the Hudson
to the far West, we need the stimulus to invention, expedition
and economy which a close competition alone can supply,

Without this, the trade of the East and the agriculture of the
repression, and the progress of
our national wealth must be retarded. Indeed, it is impossible to attach too much importance to this matter of economizing the cost of carrying. Just in proportion as we can reduce
the prices of our agricultural products to trans-Atlantic consumers, can .we command the markets of the Old World;
and in proportion as we can accomplish that, shall we be able
to attract foreign capital and foreign labor to our shores, and
build up cur industry and commerce.
What, then, is to be said of a scheme which aims at controlling the main line of transportation between New York
West must suffer a constant

and Chicago, and

which, by its great power and

be able to control all present or future lines upon
the same route and to dictate the canal policy of the State ?
We cannot but think that it is to the advantage of the mercantile interest of this city, the grain interest of Chicago, and
the agricultural interest of the whole West to prevent this pro ¬
j-ct going forward. So far as respects our own State, the
bargain is probably so far consummated as to render remonstrance useless. The consolidation of the roads of this State
is, however, only a part of the scheme which is to place the
main roads between New York and (Chicago under one monopoly. It will still remain within the power of the Legislatures
of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and ILinois to determine whether
certain roads of their States shall be comprised within this
same control.
We might also enlarge upon the corrupting influence of this
proposed monopoly upon the politics, the government,the Legis- •
lature, the officials and the general public morals of the State;
but we refrain from doing so, as our desire was especially to
call the attention of the commercial community to the
jnjurious results to their interests which are likely to follow •
from the creation of this extensive and wealthy corporation.

It seems to me that the term
includes all the money employed and used ia the business, no matter
from what source it is derived.
It is immaterial whether it is borrowed
or is the
separate or joint property of the members of the partnership.

Is it used in the business and does it contribute to the

profits or supposad profits of the business ? If it does, then it is capital within the
meaning of section 110, and is liable to taxation. The manifest spirit
of that section is to tax all the sources from which profits can arise. It
is the use that is made of the money and the privilege of using it that
is taxed, rather than the
money itself. Thus private bankers are taxed
upon capital and deposits.
These are their only sources of profit.
Banks are taxed upon capital, deposits and circulation, where they have
circulation. These are their only sources of profit.

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.

subject of cheaper transportation from the West to the
East has attracted much attention of late. The report of the
Hon. Israel T. Hatch, of Buffalo, to the -. Secretary of the
Treasury ; the speech of the same gentleman before the New
York Produce ^Exchange ; the mission of representatives of
New York grain interests to the shippers and dealers of the
lake cities; the action of the Board of Trade in these cities ;
and, finally, the convention of delegates from boards of trade
in the lake cities at Chicago during the last week, attest the
interest that is felt in this matter by shippers and commercial
men.
This action and agitation has been stimulated by the
conviction that the cost of transportation of grain and breadstuffs is higher than is necessary, that the transfer charges at
Chicago, Buffalo, Oswego and New York are too great, and
to the further fact that the merchants, of St. laouis and New

work could be done for by hand power. Two cases are
cited at Buffalo. In oue instance a cargo of 87,000 bushels
of oats was transferred by an elevator in fifteen hours. The
elevator fees were $1,740, the cost of shovelling $435 ; total,
$2,175, or 2-J cents a bushel. In another case, two vessels
were unloaded
by hand, and the cargo transferred to cars, at
a cost of
1£ cents a bushel. An inspection and comparison
of these figures indicate that in order to cheapen transporta¬
tion, it i& not necessary merely to reduce canal tolls and freight!

We are requested by the Committee of the Blackburn Master Cot¬

the meeting we had with the Operatives’ Committee on the 13th
January last, when they impressed upon your Committee the necessity
of reducing wages.
In deference to the views then expressed by you,
arid in hopes of improving trade, the matter has been deferred till now.
The masters, however, regret that after three months further considera¬
tion on the subject, the pressure by the trade is still so great that they
are bound
to act at ,once.
We forward copy of resolution passed

The

following relates to the state of trade at Manchester:
The present has been one of the dullest weeks since the
beginning of
the year, and the sales have been much under the
production. The flat¬
in

Liverpool has communicated itself to this market, aod although
prices of both yarn and cloth have given way, buyers have shown the
greatest indifference about giving out orders. To-day the tone of the
market has been no worse, and a few more
inquiries have been made.
Producers have consequently been induced to
hope that a little more
business may be forthcoming, but those transactions which have
occurred
have been almost invariably at prices lower than either
spinners or man¬
ufacturers would submit to on
Tuesday. The position of trade is most
disheartening to producers, as, notwithstanding the great decrease in the
production, the demaod seems to fall off in much the same proportion.
In Blackburn alone, exclusive of the
outlying mills in the neighbor¬
hood, there are at least twenty manufactories entirely closed, besides
others with
machinery partially stopped, and yet manufacturers experi¬
ence no sensible relief.
Neither
ness

in cotton nor in yarn is the decline
equal to what has taken place in cloth, if makers are necessitated to
sell.
So far (hey have not forced sales, but in the absence of
business
stocks have a
tendency to increase, and busines* may only be brought
about by holders
being obliged to give way and accept prices which
involve them in serious losses, in addition to those which
they have
already borne. No doubt in the coarse of time th8 decrease in ship

Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market has

and

by

active speculative movement. The
cdque3 controlling some of the leading stocks have fairly inaugur¬
ated the spring campaign, and with considerable
activity. There
has been, however, a
singular irregularity of movem.nt, some
stocks being manipulated for a rise and others for a
decline, while
all have successively advanced and
declined, within a wide range
with much rapidity.
This vacillating condition of the market has
considerably perplexed outside operators as to the purposes of the
cliques, but at the same time has fostered speculation. The excite¬
ment of the week culminated this
evening in a general break down of
the market, under the apprehensions excited
by the condition of affairs
at London, prices falling 3@6
per cent within an hour; at the
close, however, news was received of the adoption by the Legisla¬
ture of the New York Central Certificate
bill, which caused that
a very

stock to advance 4 per cent, with the result of
the decline, a paitial recovery and a steadier

general check on
fueling at the close.
New York Central has fluctuated
widely during the wsek, under
the diverse reports as to the
prospect of the adoption of the Con¬
solidation and the Certificate .bills by the
Legislature, the highest
price touched being 179£, this A.M. Rock Island has been very
active, under the manipulations of a combination seeking the con¬
trol ol the road, with a view to
important changes in its condition ;
the price has ranged between 138£ and 124J. Michigan Southern
has been one of the speculative
specialties, selling up to 10.^ and
closing at 104. Fort Wayne has been bought up very freely, with
an advance to 150
to-day, against 140 over last quotation. The
Northwestern shares have fluctuated within a range of 3
per cent*
Erie has been more active, at from 25 to 28£.
The following were the
closing quotations of the regular board
compared with those of the six preceding weeks;

United States Bon^s.—For the
greater part of the week the
bond market has been
quiet, the speculative movement being
nominal and the transactions on

foreign trade. The advance of the Bank of Eng¬
land rate of discount to 4| per cent, and the subsequent small panic in
the London money market, accompanied with a fall in Five-Twenties
to 78, certain'y, and according to some reports to 77—these events,
occurring yesterday and to-day, have caused a wild speculation,
with immense transactions, resulting this evening in an advance to
139J ; the market, however, clo-ed steadier at 138£. The supply of
g' Id on the market has been considerably increased during the week
by the payment of May interest on the debt, and the sale yesterday
of $1,000,000 of Government gold.
The imports and the exports
of specie have been respectively light, and about balance each other.
Loans have ranged at 5@1() per cent “for carrying.”
The fluctuations in the gold market, and the business at the Gold
Board during the week closing with Friday, are shown in the foL
lowing table :

Foreign Exchange has been firm and rather more active under

purchases of bankers for remittance against coupons. The advance
of ihe Bank of England rate was followed by a difference of £
between sight and 60 days bills.
Commercial bills are scarce.

To meet, the requirements*of funds for the important works in pro¬
gress, the Baltimore and Ohio company is now furnishing its six per cent
preferred stoc'r at par.
Among the works which the Company has prosecuted to completion
is the Washington County road.
The results, however, ha\e not been
satisfactory, financially. The road lias been in operation from Decem¬
ber 1, 1867, an 1 up to Match 31, 1869—fifteen months —the earirngs
from passengers amounted to but $39,503 67, and from tonnage to
$29,336 12, making an aggregate revenue for that entire period of
$68,839 78. The actual expenses for to pairs, irrespective of construc¬
tion during these fifteen months, were $75,225 03, leaving a deficit of
$6,385 24. This deficit exists in addition to the expenses incident to
the completion.of the roal during the same
period, viz.: $52,503 69,
which were charge i to construction.
Besides this loss, the further los3
of upwards of $70,000 has been sustained, being the interest for that
time at six per cent on the capital exp nded in th* construction of the

traffic.

steady and moderatively
Saturday last, with a quiet market, prices for the
higher grades were a shade better, being scarce, but the low
grades were in good supply and less firm. Liverpool was
without change, middling uplands being still quoted at ll|d.
Monday, with an advance in gold of about l£c, and no change
in the quotations by cable, prices were brought within the
limits of some export orders, and there was-an increased
inquiry on the part of shippers, while spinners also operated
more
freely. Offerings were fair, but firmly held, though
there was no change in quotations. Tuesday the foreign news
was not favorable, middling
uplands closing at Liverpool £d.
oft’; but our own market was firm and more active. On Wed¬
nesday and Thursday there was no change in prices here, but
at Liverpool middling uplands closed on Thursday at 11 d.
To-day, with a further advance in gold of about lie, the mar¬
ket remains steady, and the quotation by cable is a shade
better—middling uplands being quoted at ll|@llfd. Hold¬
ers show and
feel great confidence in the maintenance of
prices, especially for the higher grades, which are now very
scarce here.
For forward delivery the sales only riach 400
bales low middling, of which 300 were for June, at 27fc,
and 100 for July, at 27ic.
The total_ sales for immediate
delivery this week foot up 17,884 bales (including 263 bales
to arrive), of which 7,736 bales were taken by spinners, 1,638
bales on speculation, 7,108 bales for export, 1,402 bales in
transit, and the following are the closing quotations :

The sales have been continuous and fair in

prices have become entirely irregular.
Imports have not been equal to those of the previous week,
which were very large.
Included in them are one cargo of
Tea, 17,305 bags of Rio Coffee, 14,077 of other sorts, and of
Sugar and Molasses, rather less than an average quantity.
The imports at New York and the other
leading ports now
exceed those of last year iu nearly every article.
Molasses is
almost exactly the same, and Tea very
nearly the same, though
the shipments made from China up to the latest dates show
an excess over last
year of 2,000,000 lbs, which is yet to be
received here. The imports at New York for the week, and
at the several ports since
January 1, are given below under

principal busiuess of the week has been with the trade, who fiud
increasing outlets for their good?, as the advance of the season opens
up the routes of cheap transportation.
Refiners have also been pur¬
chasing to a fair extent, but not largely. Within the last two days the
market Las drawn strength from the advance in gold, and all classes of
purchasers have been operating more freely and at firmer prices. Quo¬
tations are {(a± higher to-day than one week a go, and are still bearing
in the directi'.n of better rates. Holders have not at aDy time during
the week pressed their stocks upon the market, and are now holding
more firmly than before.
Sales include 6,087 hhds of Cabas and
Forto Ricos, and 2,270 boxes Havana, with 1,176 hhds of sundry kinds.
