Bory notes are received for discount or for sale. These taxes conone-tweuty-fourth of one per cent, each montii on the capital employed by these banks and bankers, beyond the average
amount invested in United States bonds of one-twelfth of one
per cent, each month upon the average amount of circulation issued by them, and an «Ldditional tax of one-sixth of one per cent,
each month upon the average araouut of such circulation issued
beyond the amount of ninety per cent, of the capital of the bank,
association, company or person.
" By the existing laws the deposits in savings banks made by
any one person are not liable to tax unless they exceed $2,000, and
this exemption, instead ot being confined to savings banks having
no capital stock and doing no banking business, is now, by recent
legislation, extended to classes of institutions bearing kindred
names, having capital stock and making dividends. The fruits of
this legislation are shown in a table appended to the report, from
which it appears that the average amount of capital held by these
banks and brokers (not National), in May, 1875, was |200,316,098
that the average amount of their deposits in the same month was
$1,346,014,813 that the total capital and deposits in the game
month were $1,546,330,911, while the amount of the taxable capital
aud deposits of these banks and bankers during said two months
was only $780,494 76, or little more than three-fourths of a
million of dollars, while the amount of actual capital and deposits
of these same institutions was, in round numbers, $1,548,000,000.
The table shows this taxation is distributed very unequally among
the States. The City of New York, possessing taxable capital and
deposits $50,000,000 less than Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, and Connecticut combined, pays a tax three times
as great as these States. If deposits in these so-called savings
institutions are thought a proper subject for exemption from
taxation where they are employed with such profitable resnlls, it
were better to return to the rule adopted by Congress in 1866,
where deposits made by any one person in excess of $500 were
subject to taxation."

RAILROADS OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN.

We published some months

since an abstract of the figures of

each railroad in the State of Michigan, as returned to the State

Commissioner, Hon. S. S. Cobb, for the year 1874. That summary was published exclusively in The Chronicle, and gay
the practical information much in advance of the Commissioi;
Mr. Cobb's report to the Gover's full report, which is just out.
ernor is dated October 30, 1875, and he says that, although the
year 1874 was noted for
tration of

business,

it

its financial

reverses and a general pros-

will be seen that the railroad companies

doing business in the State have so conducted their affairs that
the results for 1874 will bear a favorable comparison with those
of Ihe previous year.

The reported cost of roads and equipments is $383,106,775 36,

The cost of road exelunve of equipment, for the thirty companies by whom this item is reported
separately, is $325,124,608 30, or $46,715 13 per mile; and of
equipment, for the twenty-two roads reporting this item, $37,378,058 30, or $0,768 06 per mile of road operated. If, however, the
cost of equipment be charged wholly to the miles of road owned
by the companies owning the equipment, the cost per mile is
or $54,453 91 per mile.

THE EXPORT OF AMERICAN LEATHER TO EUROPE.
The leather export trade has been of slow growth, and
several

reasons.

In

the

first

place,

a prejudice existed

for
in

Europe up to within the last five years against all leather tanned
by our quick process. Then, again, the first experimental shipments made from here were not of a quality calculated to remove
the prejudice. But the great decrease in the supply of bark in
England and France, and the repeal of the law making it an
offence to use acids in the tanning of leather, again called atten-

tion to the American article. In order to more fully meet the real
wants of the trade on the other side, our tanners began to give
special attention to the sttidy of those wants, and the consequence
has been a rapidly growing export business in hemlock-tanned
leather, to which latterly Baltimore and Philadelphia oak sole
has been added.
The bulk of the business has hitherto been with Liverpool, but

gross earnings for the year of all the roads were $45,899,94 per mile of road operated. Of the above total

The

which $13,537,230 74 was for passengers, $1,093,484 54 from mail
service, and $850,374 83 from express. The earnings from freigLt
were $31,071,591 01, and from miscellaneous sources $346,318 52
The percentage which these various items bear to the total earnis as follows, viz.: passengers, 27 per cent.; mail, 2 per cent.;
express, 1 4-10 per cent.; freight, 69 per cent.; miscellaneous, 6 10

ings

per cent.

During the past four years American hemlock leather
has been quite extensively sold, even at Pesth, in Hungary, from
which point it passes into Turkey. In fact, its popularity is established, and a foothold has been gained for the trade in many

The

total earnings

show a

decrease, as

compared with those of

1878, of $2,359,073 94, or 4.69 per cent.
It may be noted in this connection that the above decrease in
is less

than the decrease of that item on the Lake

which amounted to $2,368,-

378 50; and of this amount $1,549,079 59 was due to the decrease
in freight rates.

The total expense of operating was $30,543,349 13, or $5,442 52
per mile. The expense of operating, as compared with 1873,
shows a decrease of $3,018,336 99, or 8.93 per cent.
That the roads have been carefully and economically operated
during the past year may be inferred from the fact that, while
there has been a decrease of $2,259,073 94 in the gross earnings,
the operating expenses have been lessened $3,018,336 99, thus
more than keeping pace with the decrease in earnings.
In 1873 the operating expenses of seven rnads exceeded their

The Monci' Market and Fliiaiiclal Situation. Among
the events of tlio week wliicli liavebeen of most interc&t iu liiiimcial circles was tlio call by Secretary Bristow for $17,785,000
of United States five-twonty bond.s, of which $.'(,000,0(X) wore for
the sinking fund and the balance on the Syndicate account. Thi.s
call exhausts all the five twenties of 1804 and takes $1,97.'),400 of
the old 18(!.")s, and also uses up the whole amount of f.lOO.OOO.OOO
5 per cent, bonds authorized to be issued, so that no further
funding can take place except into 4J per cent, bonds, unless Congress authorizes a further issue of 5 per cents to 1)0 made.
The rumors of possible war with Spain and the reduction of
the Bank of England rate a full 1 per cent., are also events
worthy of notice as bearing upon tlie financial situation.
Money continues in abundant supply at easy rates, and the
range of quotations on call loans has been S(iM per cent., while
the bulk of business has been done at ;}'34 per cent. On jjovernnient collateral money has been off(>red at 3 per cent, for the balance of the year. There is little change in commercial paper, of
which the strictly prime grades are sold readily at' ()(ffi7 par cent.
The Bank of England statement on 'I'hursday showed a gain of
£136,000 in bullion for the week, and the minimum discount ratr!
was reduced to 3 per cent from 4 the previous figuie. The Bank
of France rejwrted an increase of 3,001,000 francs iu specie for the
\
week.
The last weekly statement of the New York City Clearing
House Banks, issued Nov. 13, phowed a decrease of $ 340,13.5, iu
the excess above their 25 per cent, legal reserve, the whole, of
Buch excess being f 8,737,07.5, against $9,077,300 the previous

United States Bonds. — The market for governments has
been active and strong. The final successful negotiation of the
whole $500,000,000 of new live per cents, at par in gold, and most
them in the foreign markets too, in spile of the depressing influence exercised by our defaulted railroad securities, has been such
an evidence of the high standing of United States securities as to

Railroad aud Miscellaneous Stocks. The stock market
has not shown a large volume of business, though prices of the
leading speculative stocks have generally been well maintained,
and icsoine cases an advance has been established. Much interest has centred in the contest between the Pacitic Mail and
Panama Hailroad comijanies, in which the railroad having resolved to start an opposition line of steamers, the Pacific ^ U
Company, or parties iu their interest, have sued out au injuncf'.jn
The respective stocks have fluctuated, aud probto prevent it.
ably will continue to do so, with each changing yihase of the
contest, though Pacific Mail appears to bo more steadily held
than the other stock. There are few stocks dealt iu at the Stock
Exchange whose actual value at any given time it is more difficult
for au outside operator to estimate, and in the continual negotiations and disagreements which take place between these companies, the public is often at a loss to know whether they are
actually hostile to each other or not. The leading East and West
trunk railroads continue to work harmoniously, and will probably
make another advance in freight rates on the close of navigation.
While it is clear that an advance will be advantageous to the
earnings of all the roads, the question is asked as to several of
them whether they will probalily be able to pay dividends out. of
the earnings of the last half of the current year 1875. As to Lake
Shore, Michigan Central, and Cleveland Col. Cin. & Indianapolis,

business, there are many who suppose that a surplus of 3@4 per
cent of net income, above interest and all other payments, cannot
be shown for the period named. Ohio & Miss, has been weaker
during the past few days.
Western Union Telegraph has been
steady, and the rumors which were circulated that the company

would probably reduce its dividend and apply its surplus earnings
new construction, have received no confirmation and have lately
met with little credence. No further information can be had
regarding the probable decision of the l^. S. Supreme Court on
the Union Pacific Railroad suit, and the Granger railroad cases,
