he has impoverished the fellaheen and paralyzed their
energies.
In place of giving his whole attention to the
affairs of government, of which he persisted in keeping
entire and absolute control, he complicated his affairs by
extensively augmenting his private estate, which now
comprises about a million of acres, by multiplying his
sugar mills, and by other speculations equally foolish
and absurd. Under such circumstances, book-keeping

condition of things which the commission of inquiry
has discovered and exposed; and their recommendation
has been that the bondholders, if they would save themselves, must come to the rescue and save Egypt.
The new government, of which Nubar Pasha is President of the Council, Mr. Rivers Wilson is Finance
Minister, and M. de Blignieres is Minister of Public
Works, is the result of this recommendation. Ismai

such failure as followed the Goschen-Joubert scheme;
for Mr. Wilson is to be in possession of all the power
which belongs to the Chancellor of the Exchequer in
England. His position is well defined. The commission demanded of the Khedive as preliminary to any
final arrangement, not only control of the government,
but the cession (1) of all the lands of the Dairas Sanieh
and Khassa; (2) of all the property which the Viceroy
proposed to give, as well as that which he proposed to
keep; (3) of all the buildings which he possessed; (4) of
any other properties which may have been omitted.
"As for your conclusions, I accept them," was the answer
of the Khedive. Of all this property the new Finance
Minister has absolute control. His task is not an easy
one. He has to provide for an expenditure which at
the present rate is about ten millions sterling a year;
and he has to raise the money by imposing taxes upon
an already impoverished peasantry. Mr. Wilson's first
duty is to that class. His first thoughts are to be given,
not to the bondholder or to the Khedive, but to the
means and cultivation of the soil. The peasants are to be

over the records of the firm's importations. In so doing
they discovered that by an error made about six months

On being notified of this, the firm at once tendered payment, but the officials refused, on the ground
that this " would make a precedent of which persons

The sureties upon the bond, who happen to be a wellknown banking firm, were then notified that a suit would

aggregate value of the importations upon which not

Since then they have been very depressed, and, with the slightest

with regard to the improvements effected in the electric light,

prices, but have, in fact, rendered some issues almost unsalable.
Thus, within the short space cf less than two years, there have
been three succeesive panics, during each of which prices have
fallen from 15 to 20 per cent, so that, compared with the highest

be regretted that the collapse was so long delayed. For
some years past, there has been a process of weeding out of firms
whose speculative fancies have received strong encouragement
from some of the banks and it is to bs hoped that a long time

the banks, by unwise management, assist a crisis by indiscriminate lending, they should, when the crisis arrives, do their utmost

Their policy is, however, to rush from one extreme
to another, which is to their own injury, as it is likely to produce
troubltt in quarters comparatively free from difficulty.
It also
tends very strongly to restrict our already diminished trade.

prepared by the actuary. Prof. W. H. C. Bartlett, L. L. D. Thi»!
book contains a series of valuable interest and bond tables, the|
former showing the present value of $1 due at any future date
from one to fifty years, at all rates of interest from J per cent to
10 per cent, the value and the auionnt of $1 at the end of each
year, from one to fifty years, and the snnual payment which will
discharte a debt of $1 due at any lutuie time, 'from one to fifty'
years, with interest.
The bond tablei show the rate of interest;
realized on bonds bearing fiom o-65 to 8 per cent, per annum
interest, when purchased at. various prices from 00 to 125 and
held till maturity. The-e tables ate of great ute to investors,,

faltement on Tliur.sday showed a gain of £1,20,1,000 in specie for
the week, and the percentage of reserve to liabilities advanced
to c'ii per cent, against 3'Ji^ per cent last week.
The Bank of
France also gained B. 500,000 francs in si)ecio, which showed that
the gain in England had not been drawn from that quarter.
Today (All-Saints' day) is a legal holiday in London, and no further
dispatches are at hand, but bankers hero who have branch
houses in London regard the situation as materially improved,
and feel hopeful as to the future.
In our local money market 4(36 per cent has been the rate for
call loans most of the week, but some little shifting in loans may
bo anticijiated in consequence of the changes making on tho first
of November.
Comptroller Kelly begins to-day the payment for
New York city of about |10,000,000 in the principal aiid interest
of bonds.
This money will be received chiefly by savings banks
and large capitalists, which amount they will have for re-investment, and a good part of it wUl probably go into Government securities and into the recent issue of Now York sinking fund five per
cent 30 to 50-year bonds, principal and interest payable in United
States gold coin. The latter are specifically payable in gold coin;
a fact which secures to the investor an exemption from all risks,
which makes the bonds payable only " in coin."
The last statement of the New York City Clearing-House banks,
issued October 36, showed an increase of $3,808,075 in the excess
above their 25 per cent legal reserve, the whole of such excess
being $7,048,825, against $4,340,750 the previous week.

which has been sustained ly the Supreme Court of the United

"The recent r.ulii'g of the Secretary of ihf Ititerior in n liiion to
the riglit of settlers to preempt the landu granted to the comany, if legal, would bear with much hardship upon the
ntereats of the company ; but we are advised by counsel tliat.
under the law, illustrated by a ncent decision of the StjpremjCourt of the United States, hi.s ruliiijr is not It-gal, and that tiio
interests of your company can not be seriously jeopatdiz -d thereby.
Thefquilies are clearly with the company. I^ has always been
ready to dispose of its lands at rtasoi able rates, ad< pting, as a

nation about twenty-five percent below what similar
held by private jarlii's. Ii has been
impossible for the company to n^-M all it:< lanrs and more
particularly the very large portion that was wiihheld fioni the
compat.y by the Government until Ocioter. 1874, as security for
the completion of the road according to contract.
" U «R8 deemed advisable by jour b^ard of directors, in view
of tie pustage of tbe Thurman Bil', not to declare the u-ual
April dividend.
In this action the hoaid was nlfo influenced by
a desire to extingnish the floating di bt of the company, represented by addiiioi.M and incieasen betterments to thn company's
rule, a val

This shows a decrease in gross earnings ol f 5,804, an increase
of $4,240 in expenses, and a decrease in net earnings ol $10,044.
Included in the above-named expenses are the cost of 1,000 tons
new steel rails and 70.987 new ties for re-laying the track
re-building three bridges over the Scioto, Olentangy and Mad
rivers at Kenton, Columbus and West Liberty, and of narrowing
the entire track to a uniform gauge of four feet nine inches.
The floating debt shows an increase of $52,213, which is more
apparent than real, as past due maturing coupons are included,
and these are n
to be paid in cash, but funded, in all covering
a period of three years' interest on the same mortgage bonds;
and the funding of the coupons and the issue ol scrip certificates

Th*^ LouitviHefCoaner VournaZ says
of this company: "Mr. H. Victor Nowcomb, Vice-President
of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company, returned home'
Saturday, from a visit to London, England, where he has been
engaged in very important financial transaction.s connected with
the corporation he represents. The particulars of Mr. Newcomb's
negotiations have not transpired, but it is understood that he
succeeded in making such arrangements with Messrs. Baring
Bros. & Co. as will enable his company to liquidate the greater
part of its floating debt, and thus place it'in an eusier and stronjrer
financial condition than it probably h«s ever i.efore enjoyed.
The result of the negotiations can not be otherwise than most
advantageous to the interests of the stockholders of the company
and the market value of all its securities, and, in connection with
the nnprecedentedly large tratSc now being thrown upon every
part of the road, will not fail to greatly enhance ihe credit and
prestige of Lou'sville's great corporatii)o,"jn whose profperity the

directors was ^lected: Abram S. Hewitt, Piesidenf; Cvrus
Field, Smith Ely, Jr., Samuel J. Tilden, E. D. Morgan, George J.

he -would not serve. The capital stock of the new comoany was
fixed at $1,000,000, in shares of |50 each.
After the announcement of the result of the election, and just
SB the meeting was about to adjourn, the following protest was
presented
" The undersigned, bondholders of the Montciair & Greenwood
Lake Railway Company, for and on whose account the property

New York City Bndget,— The Board nf Eitimate and Apportionment have adopted the provisional estimates of ih« various
departments of the city government for 1879. Tl e estimates
show but a trifling reduction as compared with 1878 on the great
majority of items, and only on the Department of Public Works
and interest on the city debt is tliere any material saving to be
made. The judicial salaries paid in the city of New York are
simply enormous, and these are kept up to the highest figure of
the Tweed regime— $15,000 to $17,000 per year— when the cost of
living and business incomes in general have fallen off oi,e-third.
Real estate in New York is groaning undt-r the enormous burden
of taxation, and there is hardly a sane busineps man who do s not
believe that one-tiiird of the gross amount of taxation could be
cut off, and the city nffairs still be administered with quite as
much efficiency, and with fully a |?rtat benefits to the citizens, if
it were only possible to in'rodnce the executive mauxgeiiient
which business men ordinarily exercise in the direc'ion of their
own affair-'. The following communication was submit «d to the

New York
City Elevated Railroad.— Bids for 6,750 shares ol
the capital stock of the New York Elevated lioad and .$67.'),000
of its first mortgaee bonds were opened at the company's otfices
yetterday. Under the charter of tlie company, none of the stock
can be sold under par, and it was all taken at that figure. The
mortgage bonds were sold at from 45 to 85 per cent.
N. Y.
& Oswego Midland.— The
committee of seven appointed
at a recent meetinpr of the holders of receiver's certificates of
New York & Oswego
tht.
Midland Kailway met and organized. A
resolution was passed inviting a conierence with the holders of
first mortgage bonds of the road for Friday next.
According to
a plau of re-organization proposed, the receiver's certificates are
to be made a prior lien, and the road will not be passed into the
hands of the first mortgage bondholders until the interest on
these certificates has been paid for three successive years. Bj
this plan common stock will be issued to the holders of first
mortgage bonds, and all others will be wiped out. There will be
a mortgage of $300,000 to pay the foreclosure expenses, which
will be raised by subscription, and which will have to be paid
out of the first earnings of the road. The amount of preferred
stock or income bonds to be issued to the holders of receiver's
certificate"! will be $2,000,000 at five to seven per cent interest,
and common stock amounting to $13,000,000 will be given to the
holders of first mortgage bonds.
Ohio & Mis-sissippi.— The Am,eriean ExcJiange says: " Th«i
reconstruction committee of the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad
Company has recently held a number of consultations relative to
devisiaj; some plan for the re-organization of their property.
They have finally adjourned, and Mr. Scarborough, the only
member of the committee residing out of the city of New York,
has returned home. It is stated that the committee concluded
that it would be useless to attempt to assess the stockholders of
the corapiny, or, rather, to ask them to make any contributions
towards its reconstruction, and that, therefore, they have
decided to recommend to the directors the commencement of the
foreclosure proceedings under the second mortgage.
W^e are
informed that it is the wish of the committee that it shall be
understood that the foreclosure proceedings are to be of an amicaljb nature, and tha the stockholders will be called upon to
pay only a very triUing sum upon thfir shares, fiiuply to
provide for the local expenses of the proceedings. Bat from
another source it is intimated that the procedure will be likely
to convey the entire property into the hands of the Baltimore &.
Ohio Company, and tliat the stockholders, when too late, will
find that they have been left out in the cold.''

of the telegraphic figures, because in preparing them it is always
necessary to incorporate every correction made at the ports.
Cotton on the spot has, until to-day, continued to decline. On
Wednesday quotations were reduced to 9|c for middling uplands,
the lowest figure since late in the autumn of 1860, and there
were in the morning sales at 9ic. There has been a moderate
demand
for consumption, and something has been done in transit;
but transactions for export were limited, and in the aggregate
the volume of business in spots for the week is small. To-day,
however, there was a marked improvement, middling uplands
being quoted at 9 7-16c., or l-16c. better, with liberal sales for
export and in transitu. Futures declined rapidly until Wednesday morning, when were made the lowest figures of the week, of
the season, and since the organization of our Cotton Exchange,
as follows: October O'OG, Nov. 9-06, Dec. 9-15, Jan. 9-35, Feb.
9-34, March 9-44, April 9-.54, May 9-65, June 974 and July 984.
There was but one cause for this decline, and that was the unfavorable financial and mercantile intelligence from Europe. Other
circumstances seemed to favor a recovery; the movement of the
crop was considerably smaller than last year, and wet weather
was reported on Change, calculated to delay picking and injure
cotton in th« fields.
Besides, the extreme low range of values
was calculated to stimulate speculative action. On Wednesday,
therefore, with less discouraging accounts from Liverpool, there
was a complete recovery from the early decline, and on Thursday
a buoyant opening, the advance on the second call from the lowest figures of Wednesday being from 36 to 30 points.
Then,
under sales to realize a portion of the advance was lost. But
to-day there was renewed activity and buoyancy, with a further
advance of|23@37 points, and but slightly lower than last Friday,
except for November.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 530,400
bales, including
free on board.
For immediate delivery the
total sales foot up this week 7,718 bales, including 3.313 for export,
3,081 for consumption, 374 for speculation and 3,050 in transit.
Of
the above, 350 bales were to arrive. The following tables show
the official quotations and sales for each dav of the past week:

satinets continued in light request, aside from printed [ styles,
for which there was rather more inquiry by the clothing trade.
For flannels there was a steady thouijli moderate demand at un-
changed prices, but blankets remained quiet. Worsted dress
goods were distributed in relatively small parcels to a considerable
aggregate, but shawls aud lelt skirts were devoid of animation,
and there was a lack of spirit in the demand for woolen hosiery,

FouKiQN Dry Goods. Business has been very light with
importers, and the jobbing trade in foreign goods was only
moderate. Such staple dress fabrics as cashmeres, merinos and
drap d'ete were taken in small parcels for the renewal of assortmentb; but fancy dress goods ruled quiet, aside from Scotch
plaids, lor which there was a well-sustained demand. Silks were
inactive; and silk velvets were less buoyant than of late, thongh
fairly steady in price.
Linen and white goods, laces and
embroideries were lightly dealt in, and men's-wear woolens
continued glow of sale.
