All these statements are only cumulative evidence of
the fact that Europe has no more gold to spare, and
that the raising of the Bank rates in England and on the
Continent was a necessity none too soon adopted.
Furthermore, is it not probable that the rates for money
must again advance, and, in fact, continue to advance,
until foreign exchange here rules at a point that will
make specie shipments from Europe no longer profit¬

thoughts which these facts suggest. The banker will
look at the whole matter as a question of exchange, and
will anticipate with satisfaction better rates in the

regard the elections as having recorded the deliberate
people in favor of sound money, and in
respect to that two steps are necessary: a positive one,
providing for the withdrawal of greenbacks as already
explained in these columns ; and a negative one, the
passage of a joint resolution receding from the present
attitude of the country on silver by
suspending the
dollar coinage.
It is either superfluous of hopeless to
expend any argument now upon this point, for all who
do not already perceive the logic and
danger of the
situation are impervious to argument. As the situation
at present stands, the Treasurer of the United States has
just expressed the opinion that the Treasury balance will
become Ci first exclusively metallic and then
exclusively
silver.” The case is also shown in a pungent little
cartoon in the current number of Harpers’
Weekly, where
Uncle Sam, standing on one healthy

condition of frightful and daily-increasing swelling, with

Returning to the question raised above, whether it is
not practicable to
quicken Congressional appreciation of
the superior claims of business to consideration, it seems
to us that there is a practicable method of
influencing
Congress and one within easy reach. The press can
hardly be left alone to effect this, for men commonly read
only what pleases them, or what they fear, and
it is considered a thing of course, a
necessity of their
profession, that newspaper writers will be dinging at

London, Saturday, November 8, 1879.
The feature of the week is an increase in the Bank
rate to 3
per cent. The change was regarded as
probable, but was not
generally expected, it being thought likely that the directors
of the Bank of England would be desirous
of acquiring a larger

Some
of
opinion that, in order to retain
business, an advance in the Bank rate would be
postponed, as the commercial demand for
money, though
improving, cannot yet be regarded as in any degree active.
The continued exportation of
gold to the United States and
the low New York
exchange have, however, induced the Bank
authorities to decide otherwise, and there is
no doubt of the
fact that the course
they have adopted is both judicious and
expedient. During the last three months there has been a
reduction of about £5.000,000 in the
supply of gold, the total at
the present time having fallen to
£30,188,600. The process of
depletion has been very rapid of late, and were it to
continue,
our stock of gold would soon
be reduced to a small amount. It

“It appears that while the first five years averaged 29 bush¬

yield, the last five years averaged only 24 bushels; the mean
yield for the 14 years being thus lowered to 26/£ instead of 29^

New
York.—The
following extracts are
given from the report of General Hillhouse, Assistant Treasurer
at New York, which accompanied a report from Treasurer
Gilfillan to Secretary Sherman:
Fractional silver coin for redemption under the Act of June
9,1879, was presented in large sums, necessitating the detail¬
ing of extra clerks to count it. After redeeming $3,644,002,
the pressure measurably ceased, and the coin is now more read¬
ily handled. The presentation of fractional silver coin for
redemption, heretofore very heavy, is but a few thousands of
dollars each day. On the other hand, quite a demand for it
has recently sprung up, amounting to very nearly as much as
that redeemed each day, with the probability that the demand
will soon be equal to, or greater than, the redemption. The
amount in hand is $5,118,865.
In consequence of the large shipments of bullion and
foreign
coin from Europe, the transactions with the
assay office have
been quite heavy, and still continue to be. The credits made to
the bullion fund of that office in August were about
$5,000,000;
debits, $4,300,000. In September the credits were $35,400,000;
the debits $23,700,000. Large amounts of American coin from
Europe have also been received.
Your attention is respectfully called to a branch of our busi¬
ness which is of considerable
magnitude, but, from its nature,
makes no part of the general statement of business: that
is,
the exchanging of one denomination of notes for
another, to
meet the needs of bankers and the business
community, which
exchanges have amounted since January 1 to $36,796,000, aris¬
ing principally from the receipts of large bills and the giving
out of smaller denominations, therefore
covering a great many
transactions and the actual handling of just double the amount
stated. The great part of these exchanges of
money are made
for the banks of this city for their own use, and to
supply their
correspondents and dealers, and were largest in September,
aggregating in that month $11,240,000. Similar exchanges of
silver certificates are made constantly,
aggregating a very large
at
“
“
“
amount for the time named, of which
it has been found
529
closed, so far as this office was concerned, on the 30th of Sep¬
tember ult. without loss or dispute, and it is believed to the
satisfaction of the Department and the subscribers to the loan..

lowing statement will show the receipt and delivery of United
States bonds and cash in depository account with the following

Our Postal Service.—The
annual
report of Postmaster.
General Key is made public this week.
The Postmaster-General renews the recommendation con¬
tained in his last report for the enactment of a law re-adjusting
the compensation of railroads for carrying the mail upon the
basis of space,
speed and frequency, supplemented by the
weight of mails carried. He says :
This would enable the Department to designate every rail
road in the country by name as a railway post-office line,
which they all are now in fact. The only reason why they are

not all so-called is because Section 4,004
of the Revised Statutes
allows additional pay for post-office cars, and to so designate
all railroads would increase the annual expenditure, under the
present basis of compensation, by over $1,000,000, and hence
the anomaly is presented of railway post-office lines which fur¬
nish apartments in cars only 10 feet 2 inches long by 6 feet 6
inches in width, and of route agent lines upon which entire
cars are furnished 55 feet long and 8 feet 5 inches wide, in
both of which
is carried
precisely the
same
work of distributing the mails
on.
“
The appropriation of $150,000, to enable the PostmasterGeneral to obtain proper facilities for the prompt transmission of
the mails by railroad companies, has enabled the Department to
prevent injury to the service
upon the most important lines by
allaying the dissatisfaction of railroad companies at the general
reduction of ten per cent and five per cent, additional upon
their compensation, and has in several instances enabled the
Department to secure the running of special trains of great value
to the business interests of the country.
I would therefore
recommend that this appropriation be renewed for the next
fiscal year, and that
the amount be increased to $400,000,
according to the estimates submitted by the Second Assistant
Postmaster-General.”
COST OF MAIL TRANSPORTATION.

‘
“The cost of railway service on the 30th of June, 1879, was at
the rate of $9,692,590 per annum, an increase over the cost of
the service during the preceding fiscal year of $125,995. This
increase does not, however, represent the actual rate of increase
in the service, as account must be taken of the reduction of five

accept the terms offered him, whatever they may have been. In
this transaction, and in the formerly
reported negotiation for an
exchange of traffic between Wabasli and Lake Shore at Toledo, the
old dealers in stocks will
recognize the working of a new hand—
probably that of Mr. Cyrus W. Field—for it has never been the
method of either Mr. Gould or the Vanderbilts to
carry out their
railroad plans by an alliance with each
other, or with any other
rival ; and, as for Commodore
Vauderbilt, it is impossible to con¬
ceive of his entertaining for a moment
any plan of railroad oper¬
ations which would have involved him in
joint working arrange¬
ments with those railroad parties whom he
considered it the
business of his life to fight.
Money has been quite abundant this week to good borrowers,
and the leading Government bond-dealers have
paid 4@5 per

Railroad and Miscellaneous
Stocks.—The possibility of
serious break in the stock market, which has been
spoken of
for some time past, has this week been
verified, to the extent of
a decline which in some cases was about
20
a
per cent
highest prices of the
from the
current month.
An analysis of the situa¬
tion seems to show that the market
having reached a point where
there was an immense volume of stocks carried bn small
margins,
and an unprecedented number of outside
parties interested in
stocks to the extent of one or two hundred shares
each, the
opportunity was presented to leading speculators fora bear attack
with every prospect of success.
It is also well known that pro¬
fessional operators have sold out their stocks more than once
in
the rise of the past two months, and have been
surprised to see
them readily absorbed at
rising prices. Seeing the unlimited
confidence in higher prices under the
ness
affairs, the theory is that
true
or
improved condition of busi¬
of the leading manipulators
have combined to hammer tie market down, and then
buy in
for another “boom,” which shall culminate in
higher
prices
than hare yet been seen.
In our remarks above on the moneymarket, &c., we refer to the extraordinary report of a negotia¬
tion between Messrs. Gould, Vanderbilt, and
others,
whether

but
not, the report certainly did not have the effect of stop¬
ping the panic in stocks, as the lowest prices of the day were
made in the lass hour, with a sharp
upward re action at the
dose.

(For the
year
ending Sept. 30, 1879.)
At the annual
535
capital for the purpose of arching the tunnels of the ParkersT
burg Branch road and completing the numerous important
structures required for its heavy traffic, it was arranged that arr
mortgage
should be placed on that line, and that through this
means the
company should be reimbursed for those advances.
In order to accomplish this result, the Parkersburg Branchs
Company issued, on the 1st of July, 1879, $3,000,000 of its :
bonds, secured by mortgage on that road, which were purchased^
by the Baltimore & Ohio Company. The Baltimore & Ohio
Company issued its bonds on July 10th, 1879, for $3,000,000,.
bearing 6 per cent interest, and pledged the said $3,000,000 of
six per cent bonds of the Parkersburg Branch Railroad Com¬
pany with Messrs. T. Harrison Garrett, William F. Burns, and
John Gregg, as trustees therefor. These bonds of the Baltimore
& Ohio Company were promptly and successfully negotiated
The changes to conform with these transactions have been
made in the table showing the assets and liabilities of the
company. The principal of these bonds has been made payable
forty years after date, namely, in 1919. The remainder of the

The working expenses of the whole system were 54*18 per
cent of gross earnings in 1878-9 and 56*44 per cent in 1877-8.
The net earnings of the Chicago Division and of the Wheel¬
ing Pittsburg & Baltimore Railroad Company have been credited
companies. The rental of
the Sandusky Mansfield & Newark RR. (Lake Erie Division)
is $174,350 per year. The excess of net earnings over the
rental, $14,764, has been credited on account of interest on
advances made for the permanent improvement of that road.
The net earnings of the Central Ohio Division were $272,700.
Under the lease of the Central Ohio Railroad, thirty-five per
cent of the gross earnings is paid annually to that company.
The working expenses, in consequence of the very low rates for
transportation during a portion of this year, were 67*78 per
cent. The loss on this division for the year, under the agree¬
ment, was $23,579, which has been charged in the profit and
to the accounts for interest of those
loss account.
Six hundred and seventy-three miles of track of the Main
Stem and branches east of the Ohio river are now laid with
steel rails. The increased cost of steel thus continuously sub¬
stituted for iron rails has been charged to the repair account.
The economy and advantage of the general substitution of steel
for iron rails eontinue to be shown by the further important
redaction, which is mainly due to this change, in the cost of
repairs of railway”—$66,193. The condition of the entire
line, its road-bed, track and structures, has not only been fully
maintained, but improved.

In order to effect increased
economy in the cost and use of
wheels, and to promote improved
results in
the road
through the safe and convenient interchangeworking
of all descrip¬

company determined to change the
gauge of its trans-Ohio divisions from 4 feet

standard gauge of its Main Stem and
branches east of the Ohio
River, namely, to 4 feet 8/6 inches.
During the year this
important and desirable change has been
effected on the

The report says : “ In March
last, the North German Lloyd
liquidated the capital account of the
steamship company (Let¬
ter B), in which the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad
Company was
interested. In this final
adjustment, a loss of $295,102 was
incurred. This loss arose from the
protracted
depression in
imports and the falling
business, and especially the reduction of
off of immigration
during the past five years.
“In thus
closing the remainder of interest of the Baltimore &
Ohio Company in
steamship lines, it is proper to state that
whilst $758,275 were lost in the
establishment of the Baltimore
& Liverpool line, the
only trans-Atlantic line which was main¬
tained under the American
fiag during four years, from 1865 to
1869, and $295,102 in the Nortli German
Lloyd, making $1,053,377 of losses, charged to the
profit and loss account,
yet the
managers of this company have to congratulate the
citizens o:
Baltimore and the
country that these original and effective
enterprises made conspicuous to the commercial world
the
value, economy and advantages of the
port
of
Baltimore
anc
the
ramifications of the great
system o:
railroads established by the Baltimore &
Ohio Company. This
knowledge has resulted in the establishment and success o:
great, permanent lines of steamships, which now
ply constantly
between the cities of the old world and
Baltimore.”

interest of Cincinnati
being considered. The Cincinnati Southerii railway, which traverses
the States of
Tennessee, Kentucky
and Ohio, opens up a new and most
promising
route from the
■South to the West. The
people
of Cincinnati have spent their
millions for the purpose of
bringing the trade of the South to
their city, and deserve to
profit by their enterprise. The com¬
pletion and operation of this road will have a most
important
effect upon the future of the

Cincinnati,
all freight, especially
grain and cotton, must come over the

Supreme Court has rendered a decision in the following suit:
No. 23.—Charles W. Kirtland,
plaintiff in error, vs. Leonard L.
Hotchkiss, in error to the Supreme Court of Errors, Litchfield
County, Conn.—The question presented by this
the
case
is whether
plaintiff in error, a citizen of Connecticut, can be rightly
taxed by that State, under its laws,
upon certain bonds owned
by him but held in the city of Chicago, and secured by deeds
of trust on real estate in that
city. The Supreme Court of
Errors of Connecticut held that the assessments of which the
plaintiff in error complained were in conformity to the State
laws, and that that law did not infringe
any of the complain¬
ant’s constitutional rights. This Court sustains
the view taken
by the lower tribunal, and holds that the locality of the debt
for purposes of taxation is not affected
by the fact that it is
secured by mortgage upon real estate situated in Illinois
(“State
Tax on Foreign Held Bonds,” 15 Wall,
323); that the debt had
its situs at the creditor’s
residence, and it is for the State to
determine whether or not it shall be taxed. The discretion of
the State in this respect is not, in the
opinion of this Court, sub¬
ject to supervision or control by the Federal Government in
