It is well understood, among capitalists interested in our large State roads, that a great scheme of consolidation has been definitely determined upon by the parties controlling the Central, Hudson River, and Harlem properties, the details Hudson settled and consent to which has been of which have been given by the principal parties interested in the several companies concerned. The amalgamation is to comprise the Harlem, or the Hudson River, the New York Central, the Buffalo and Erie and the Lake Shore Roads, the latter now embracing the Michigan Southern. The proposed combination includes about 1,500 miles of road, with a total capital of 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 resentatives upon a matter of such determine the consideration for which their acceptance of the scheme shall be accorded. To this project we think there is decided objection in that its adoption will establish an overpowering transportation monopoly. It is true, the bill a very forbids the consolidation of competing lines, and so far has of a purpose to avoid the odium of abolishing healthy competition. But of what avail will this exclusion be, provided the parallel or competing lines should be virtually under the control of the parties who run the combination ?

The introduction of this measure has been apparently conducted with secresy, for little has been publicly known of its details beyond that it provides for the consolidation of connecting roads, but excepts from that privilege competing or parallel lines. The bill is generally | A bill is success so powerful Would it not rather so a corpo¬ shape its 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. hand, may C0MISS10NER DELANO’S DECISION UPON BORROWED CAPITAL.

This decision affords a new illustration of the proneness of revenue officials to interpret all doubtful cases of claim aris¬ ing under the law, in favor of the Government and against the people. This policy "is impolitic and mischievous. It ered an its interests as against competing roads ? when New York must have other and enlarged lines of transportation provided. Not very many years hence we may see the trade of this port doubled ; and, in that event, we should need double our present carrying facilities.

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. It will be noticed that the Solicitor here his construction to be absolutely assumes correct, without one citation from analogy or usage to support it. He simply affirms—he does not argue—which is tantamount to an acknowledgment that his case does not admit of proof. He might be very safely challenged to produce a single instance from the phraseology : 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 The THE CHRONICLE. 584 (May 8, 1869. energetically moving with reference to making charges.

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.

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.

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.

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 : ing. 134* 135* 136* 135* 135* 136 136 136 est, est. ing. clearings.

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.

The improved tone and movement in trade circles which we have noticed in the past two or three weeks are n )t sus¬ tained. Various causes have operated to produce a reaction, • a> s prominent of which are the limited demand for consumption and the absence of speculative confidence—deal erskeeping their stocks as low as possible.
