the losses by failure for the same year were reported at
202 millions of dollars. Of this sum, 130 millions were

system been exposed for a scries of years to the intoxication of irredeemable paper-money without the production of a multitude of bank failures of the most disastrous character. If we compare that part of the Comptroller's report devoted to this subject with similar
returns in former reports, it will be seen how very small,
comparatively, have been the bank failures which have
occHrred in this country since the national bank
system was founded in 1803. It would be an interesting task to explain the various causes which have
produced so conservative an influence in the midst of so
much danger. Prominent among these causes, as has
been suggested, is the appointment of the inspectors,

charging off their bad debts they will lighten the burdens of taxation upon their stockholders, and will no

The

table of " Comparative Prices in London, March, 1873,

the three years. Two or three suggestions will be sufficient to

Iron: In 1873 and previous years it had been impossible
for the furnaces and rolling-mills, though working day
and night, to supply the demand for railway bars and
other iron, and prices were sustained by both the excessive demand and (in many cases) the poor or doubtful
character of the means of payment. In 1876 the ironmasters are unable, most of them, to run without loss,

the rate of rather more than one million sterling per month. In
the early part of last season our imports of wheat were upon an
unprecedentedly large scale but, if we extend the comparisou to
the year 1874, the diminution is still very considerable.

Baltimore City Lo.*.n. The advertisement asking for proposals for the sale of the new Ave million dollar loan will appear
shortly in tbe Baltimore papers. The proposals will be opened
about the first week in January. The American says: The interest of the four million Gunpowder water loan has been placed at
five per cent., bat the Finance Commissioners hope to be able,
from time to time, to purchase this loan out of their sinking fund
without placing it on the market, so that the interest, instead of
being paid to outside parties, will be handed over to the Finance
Commissioners, and, with the other funds now in their possession,
be applied for the redemption of city stock.
The Finance Commissioners now hold $400,000 in issues of this loan, delivered over
to them, by the Water Board, during the present month. The latter
board was indebted to the Finance Commissioners to the amount
of $207,000, and, in addition to pajing this debt in these bonds,
it has now over $130,000 to its credit on the b^oks of the Finance
Board. As heretofore, the Finance Commissioners will pay out of
their sinking fund the expenses of the construction of the water
works, charging the Water Board interest on the funds so
loaned.

Congrees assembles and

set-

tles down to nork, there is some unfinished business that deserves
to be taken up and finally disposed of, among which is the matter

of the proposed adjustment of accounts between the Government
and the Pacific railroads.
The Qoverniuent mortguge on the
subeidi/.pd roads, originally a first lien, was afterward subordinated in favor of the first mortgage bonds taken by private capitalistH, and the advance or loan by the United States (ilovernment
is to be repaid, with interest, partly by transportation services,
partly by a percentage of the net earnings of tlie companies since
completion of the roads, and the reinaind<;r in money, or its
equivalent, at the expiration of the term ot the bonds. The
companies have established, by decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court, the important point that they are not bound ts keep down
the interest account as it accrues, but, with the exceptions just
noted, have the whole thirty years in which to meet the balance.
Notwithstanding the decision of the Supreme Court, the amounts
due the companies are withheld to await '.he determination of
fresh suits, raised on some minor points particularly as to the
time when the five per cent of net earnings should commence,

—

and whether the term "net earnings" means the gross earnings,
lem the nperating expenses only, or net income after payment of
si; king funds, &c.
The Kansas Pacific Hallway and the Atchison Branch have been
compelled to default upon their bonds, and allege, as a main
reason, that the (Jovernment withholds money due them for
transportation. A circular Just issued by the Kansas Pacific
managers names among its troubles the
" Inahilitjr t» collect from the Juted States GoTcrnmcnt the amounts now
interest,

fine the corcpaiiy for transportation of mails, troops and snpplies, notwithstandio;;, iindcr the decision of the Unite 1 Stales Supreme Court, there is now
due the company, in CMh, for such service, over $5011,000, for which no appropriation by Congress has been made.
The insti ution, by loformers, of
maliciooa suiu aiirainst the company, and which we are advised could not be
brought except by the authority and wl'h the consent of the AitorneyC^eneral of the L'niied titatcs. A heavy suit of this kind, lately brought at the
instigation of an irresponsible party in Kansas, has had the effect to utterly
destroy the remaining credit of the company; and the directors, dismayed at
the lll-c»B8idered atl of the Government, whereby BU:^h an action was

brought, declined to contlnne the use of their individual credit to sustaiu the

company."

And now, by

foreclosure sale under the prior mortgages, the
flovernment is in danger of having its lien on the road entirely
extinguished. A business like settlement with the yet solvent
companies is certainly desirable.
The twi> great companies Central Pacific and Union Pacific
while holding to their i ights as granted by the laws of Congress and
interpreted hy the Supreme Court, are anxious to have a settlement
compliance with which shall be within their power, and in which
the equities on both sides shall be duly regarded. For this
reason, they have offered either to transfer back the lands
grantedalong the line of road, in, part payment of the United
States claim, due some twenty years hence, the remainder to be
paid by cash instalments, or to create a sinking fund of halfyearly payments, which shall accumulate until the whole debt is
liquidated, say in about thirty years. These companies have
always urged that, inasmuch as the nation is gettinjt its mails,
etc., carried at extremely low rates, compared with wUat it

—

and other ways, an immense gainer
enterprise, though but little of the gain appears on the

Treasury Udgers.
It is important
that some agreement should promptly be
reached between the Government and the Pacific railroads, and,
as the matter remains among the pieces of unfinished business of
the last session of Congress, it is to ba hoped it will be taken up
soon after the opening of the next session and be carried through
on some terms that will be satisfactory to both parties. We do
not urge the granting of any extraordinary favors to the Pacific
roads, but the Government owes it to the companies and to the
numerous holders of their securities that a speedy settlement
should be made on the basis of the laws and decisions by which
the companies exist, and from which all their rights and powers

The

IHenei' IHarltet and Pluanclal Bltuatlon. The past
week has developed nothing particularly new in our financial
markets. It is evident that the excit"ment prevailing immediately
after ths elections has measurably subsided, but it is equally
true that there is still a deep undercurrent of anxiety in regard
to the political situation, which seriously interferes with a
healthy activity in business.
The present condition of affairs has various aspects for parties who take different views of the probable result of the elections and the pending anccrtaioty.
For thoje who predict evil
and can see only a gloomy prospect in the future, there Is, of
course, nothing to do at the present moment but to lie by and
enter into no new business engagements. But for those who
regard the present situation as oiuy one of the inevitable phases
of American politics, and who have unbounded confidence that a
satisfactory result is sure to be reached through the justice, good
faith and sound common sense of the people, the outlook is quite
different.
To the latter class the present time is a favorable one
to purchase such investment stocks and bonds as are apparently
selling below their real value, and are kept from advancing only
by the depression now existing.
Our local money market remains easy, and the bulk of transactions on call are done at 3@4 per cent.
Prime commercial paper
is in demand at 5@6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly report on Thursday showed a
decrease of £451,000 in bullion, for the week, and the disconnt
rate is unchanged at 2 per cent.
'Ihe last statementof the New York City Clearing-House banks,
issued November 18, showed an increase of $048,050 in the excess
above their 35 per cent, legal reserve, the whole of such exceao
being $9,345,025, against $8,096,375 the previous week.
The following table shows the changes from the jireviouH
week and a comparison with 1875 and 1874

United State* Bond»._There has been a better distrib a
ted business in government bonds this week than for some time
previously.
The purchasers have been more numerous, and
although the gross amount of sales is not heavy as compared
with the active weeks of last Spring or Summer, there has still
been a perceptible improvement on the past month. It is believed
that savings banks and insurance companies are among the principal buyers, with a view to strengthen themselves preparatory
to their official statements required in January.
The earlier fivetwenties, those of 1865, both old and new issues, have grown in
favor, as at present prices they are very little above par in gold

Closing prices daily have been as follows:

In railroad bonds one of the principal events affecting the
market was the announcement on the 18th inst. that Ohio &
Mississippi had gone into the hands of receivers. The bonds
had already declined so far that they did not go much lower, and
both first and second mortgages have since advanced materially
the seconds making the largest rise, under purchases reported to
be for Baltimore account. It is supposed now that the road will
probably be foreclosed or re-orgauized under the second mortgage, and pass into the hands of the Baltimore & Ohio. It is
difficult to see how any default can be made on the first mortgage
and if this
bonds, which seem to be abundantly secured
view ia correct, they are a good purchase at present prices.
Another announcement of importance is the notice of the
Toledo Wabash & Western siockholdera' committee that an
amicable adjustment of all differences between the shareholders
and the holders of the gold mortgage bonds has been effected.
The sale recently made at Toledo has been confirmed l)y mutual
consent, and a new corporation is to be organized in which the
old stockholders have the privilege of participating. The net
income of the company for the year ending June 30, 1876, was

Railroad and miscellaneona StocliB.— The stock market
has not shown any general and decided movement in either direction.
The tone has for the most part been one of depression,
under the influence of the dveihanging political uncertainty, and
the bad effects of such a matter aa the Ohio and Mississippi
insolvency, together with the yet unsettled railroad war. The
trunk-line stocks. Lake Shore and Michigan Central, depend from
week to week on the varying prospects of a settlement on the
freight question.
Western Union Telegraph has not fluctuated
widely, though the Atlantic and Pacific notices a new reduction
on rates after December 1. The coal stocks have been unfavorably influenced by the auction sales of coal this week, which
went off slowly, and showed a decline in prices as compared with
last month.
Illinois Central stock was one of the moat conspicuous for weakness, falling off sharply to 67i on Tuesday, but
recovering almost as quickly, and sell:ng to-day at 72. This
Block and Bock Island are attracting some attention now (or their

THE BONDED DEBT.
for the payment of the loan of the City of
Baltimore, which was originally $5,000,000, increased during the
year $101,904 68, making the payment in advance on account and
in reduction of that loan, which will mature in 1890, $1 818,878 10.
The payments oh account of the sinking funds for the redemption of the sterling loans, due in 1895, 1902 and 1910, during the
year amounted to $105,000, which, at $4 84 per pound stierliiig,
make £83,781.
The principles upon which the sinking funds of the Baltimore
& Ohio Bailroid Company are based will cause the entire indebtedness with which they are ccnntcted to be paid by the period of
the maturity of the respective loans from the annual appropriations made for these funds, together with the interest accruing
from their accumulations.
Forty thousand dollars of the principal of the bond for
$1,000,000, given to the City of Baltimore for the purchase of
its interest in the Pittsburg & Connellsville Railroad Company,
have been paid, thus reduciner this •bligation to $960,000.
Of the mortgage loan payable in 1880, .$130,500 have been
anticipated, leaving $579,500 to be paid $790,000 have been paid
in anticipation of the loan redeemable in 1885, which was origiJially $2,500,000, leaving the remainder of this loan $1,710,000.
Of the bonds for $500,000, endorsed by the Baltimore & Ohio
Kailroad Company, under the contract of July 18, 1864, of the
Northwestern Virginia Railroad Company, due in 1685, $360,000
have been anticipated, reducing the sum unpaid to $140, COO.
The surplus fund of the company on September 30, 1876, was
$36,022,305 88. The entire mortgage indebtedne-^s in currency
and sterling is $28,168,929 90. It is thus shown that the surplus
fund representing capital derived from net earnings invested in
its branch and connecting roads, and in the great improvements
that Lave been continually constructed on the Main Stem, exceeds
the entire mortgage indebtedness of the company by $7,853,430 93.

The opening of the extension to Chicago excited much jealousy

was alleged that the traffic relations of the previously existing
railway system in the Northwest were very seriously disturbed
by this new competing' element. It is certainly true that the
construction of this line gave a direct route between Baltimore
ar-d Chicago under one proprietorship and one management,
and that it broadly opened to consumers and producers a more
economical and advantageous channel for trade, and a more
economical and advantageous port on the seaboard than had
before existed, for the vast regions which it reached.
Those hostilities by competing companies assumed various

from those immense regions which have natural relations to that

Fourth That the earnings of the New Jersey Ountral for the.
ten mouths of this year, ending October 31, had been $400,000 in
excess of all its expenses and interest payments, Azclusiva of the
last quarterly dividend
and that, instead of the coal earnings
of the road being forty per cent less than last year, they were at
least as great, owing to the fact that this year there had been no'
interruption at the mines, except onder the coal combination to
prevent over-production while last year their coal trafflo was
greatly reduced by the six months' strike at the mines, which em-;
braced all the other mines except those of the Delaware and
Hudson, Delaware Lackawanna and Western and the Pennsylvania Company. Had it not been for this strike, it is admitted by
coal men that forty per cent, reduction in its earnings would have.
been fair. The coal traillc of the road, however, is now fully seUsustaining,iind will prove so for the whole year, with the late reductions in its operating expenses while the admitted superiority of
its coal has enabled it to keep all its miners in operation since the
break iu the combination, with the prospect of keeping them,
running all winter to supply their trade. So far there has boeS'
no accumulation of coal, the demand having been fully up to
production, while they have contracts ahead with blast furnaces.
There has been a new and very considerable source of rey-'
enuetothe Central, which has been entirely overlooked by writers
on the subject that is, the businessof the new Philadelphia and
New York line, from which about a quarter of a million has been
received in the last six months.
This amount, Mr. Knight
claims, has been very largely clear profit to the Central, as it Las
cost it no addiiional outlay, excepting costs of transportation and'
wear of tracks.
Fifth: The contract between the Central and the Lehigh &
Wilkesbarre Coal Company gives the road about one-half the
price of the coal at tidewater for carrying.
Hence Mr. Knight
maintains that, with the increased coal tonnage of this year over
last, on account of the strike last year, the comparison oi the coal
business of this year over this road is not unfavorable as compared with last year.
Sixth: Next, as to the relations of the Central to Lehigh'
Navigation and its liability on account of the latter, this, he said,
had been little understood. The Central pays the Navigation
onethird of the gross earnings of the latter, together with its
leased lines and $200,000 per annum for rent of the canal. With.
these, the liability of the Central to the Navigation Company
ceases, except for repairs while all improvements are charged ta
the Navigation Company.

The Hamilton County

Court has decided to grant
an injunction restraining the Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton Company from allowing the construction of a telegraph line by this
company along the line oi the Cin. Hamilton & Indianapolis road
from Hamilton to Indianapolis. The injunction is based upon a
contract whereby the Junction Railroad Company ngreed to give
the Western Union Company the exclusive right to build a telegraph along its line and on its right of way. The Court holds
that this contract was valid aud tliat it was not abrogated by the
sale of the Junction Railroad under foreclosure and its transfer
to the present company. The Cin. Hamilton & Dayton Co. is also
enjoined from delivering material along its line to the Atlantic &

paymentwereacts of bankruotcy. The sinkins; fund bad not been provided
for, and some interest on bonds was iu default.
"The suits in foreclosure were brought in the United States courts at
Indianapolis and at Springfield, by Judge Hoadley and Wm. T. .McClintick,
of Cincmnati. and H. Crawford, of Chicago, as counsel, and will doubtless
be heard before the Hon.- Thomas Drummoud, juige of the United States
Circuit Court, who concurred In the appointment of Daniel Torrance and
John King, Jr as receiver?. Except for such a receivership to reorganii-j
the service of the road and prot-^ct Its property fr im daily levy and attachment, all interests would liave saflered most miterially. As it is, the receivers,
acting as impartial officers of the United States courts, will adequately protect and administer their trust for the good of all concerned,"

Oswego Midland Railroad.— The decree

of foreclosN. Y.
ure rendered io October last, after directing the sale of the road
by CoiDmissioner K. G. White, as master, ordered that out of the
proceeds of the sales $1,500,000 should be appropriated to the
payment of the Receiver's checks, and about $300,000 to the psylaent of preferred coupons. The matter now comes before the
United States Circuit Court, Judjre Blatchford presiding, under
the title of John G. Stevens «s. The New Tork & Oswego Mid-

land Railroad Company, and bondholders to the amount of
$6,000 000 apply to the Court for leave to appeal to the United
States Supreme Court. Argument was heard, and Judge Blatchford reserved decision,

Ohio & Mississippi Railway.— On the 18th instant many were
surprised to read in the morning papers the following telegram
" iNDiANArous, Not. 17,— Daniel Torrance and John King, Jr., have been
aiipointed receivers of the Ohio Jt Miesiseippi Riilroad, by Judge Gresham.
The conrt orders the payment of the employees out of the first earnings of the
road, and gives the receivers the asaal authority to operate and maintain it,'*
Similar action was also taken in the U. S. Circuit Courts in
Illinois and Ohio, and the receivers have given bonds and entered
into possession. The first news of this proceeding occasioned
surprise, becauee'no information of any litigation in progress had
been received, and inquiries at the Ohio and Mississippi office in
this city as to the cause for so great a decline in the company's
stocks and bonds, elicited only the reply that no cause was known.
The last statement of the company's affairs was the annual report
of the President, Mr. Daniel Torrance, dated so late as October 5,
1876, in which lie stated, among other things
" We have, however, been able te pay ont of earnings the yearly fixed
ebarpes of interest on our bonded debt, and the purchases for its sinking
fwnds, while at the same time the roadway, the equipment, and other properties of the company have been maintained in their usually efficient condition.
The operating expenses, inclnding taxes, of the whole road, werj 15 per cent
:

:

—

of gross efirnines under adverse circumstances a favorable result largely
owing to the substitution of steel for iron rails, as renewals were needed."
* * * " The company's funded debt has been decreased in the past year
$100.COO, by the nsnal purchases for the feveral sinking funds. The local
trtifllc of the whole road— now over one-baif of our total earuiogs
continues
•teadliy to increase in passengers and freight, both in volume and amount,
and the evident improvement in thrift and prosperity along the line of the
road gives, we think, well-founded cause for hopefulness
the future. It
is certain that the growth of this the most progressive country on the eirth
—goes on steadily in an inct easing ratio in population, and in agricultural
and in material productions. The constrnction of new railroads and the
extension of (Od ones being greatly cliec'^ed, it seems to be a sure inference
that ere long the traflic requirements of the country will be fully up to if

No statement whatever has yet been issued by the officers of
the company to stock and bondholders, and this, together with
the fact that the road has steadily run down in the face of a considerable increase reported in earnings this year amounting to
no less than $278,357 up to Nov, 7 has greatly tended to shake
confidence in the late managers of the road. It is also to be
observed that in the last fiscal year ths "operating expenses"
increased $198,757 over the previous year, while gross earnings
increased only $177,553 and this was a time when nearly every
leading road was making a large saving in expenses.
So far as the matter now stands, it appears that the road may
probably be foreclosed under the second mortgage, and purchased
in the interest of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and that the
second mortgage bondholders will be partly or wholly secured,
while the first mortgage bonds should be safe beyond a doubt. Id
the worst year known the road has earned nearly $400,000 over
its first mortgage interest, and, in the bands of the Baltimore &
Ohio, its net earnings could probably be increased very largely.
The Ohio & Mississippi first mortgages are in much the same
position as the old Erie mortgages and the first of Pacitic of
Missouri, on which foreclosure proceedings have caused no suspen-

against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The first mortgage
bonds amounted to $1,200,000, and the cash in hand will pay the

The wheat market hu latterly beeu more active shippers and
millers were in want of moderate supplies, and holders took
advantage of their needs to obtain rather more money, especially
for straight grades of new No. 2 spring.
Some advance in ocean
freights and lower currency rates for exchange have, however,
put more check upon the export movement. Hsceipts at the
Western markets are still small, but an early increase is still
Zooked for. The quality and condition of the supplies now com.

active.

There has been a continued quiet movement in nearly all

Domestic Cotton Goods. The exports of cotton goods to foreign markets reached 713 packages, the most important lots of
which were shipped as follows: 260 packages to Great Britain,
95 to Hayti, 85 to Venezuela, 86 to Germany, 83 to New Granada,
60 to the British North American colonies, 33 to the British West
Prices for cotton goods were steadily mainIndies, etc., etc.
tained by agents, and an advance of from 7i to 10 per cent was
made upon tickings and denims produced by the Amoakeag Manafacturing Company. Heavy standard brown sheetings and four-

yard browns were quietly distributed to a considerable amount,
and goods of this class are firm because of an increased export
demand. Bleached cottons ruled quiet, and there was very little
animation in tickings, denims, dyed ducks, stripes, cheviots or
checks. Cotton flannels moved steadily in low grades, but fine

Domestic Woolen Goods. There was a fair demand by the
Western trade for heavy woolens for men's- wear, and these fabrics
were distributed in small parcels to a lair aggregate amount.
The clothing trade have commenced their purchases of light-weight woolens for spring, and considerable sales were effected
by agents having new goods to offtr. Overcoatings and cloakings
and doeskins
moved slowly. Ileavy-wmght cassimeres of desirable styles were
taken with some freedom by jobbers, and spring weights, in both
all-wool and union makes, were distributed in considerable lots
to clothiers. Worsted coatings dragged a little, owing to the
announcement of a large public sale of 10,000 pieces which will be
made next week for account of the manufacturers. Tweeds were
Satinets were a little

more active, but Kentucky jeans remained sluggish. Flannels
and blankets were in light demand, and carpets moved slowly.
Worsted dress gcods, shawls and skirts were severally in limited
lequett, and hosiery was fairly active.
Foreign Dry Goods. Imported goods have been quiet in the
hands of both importers and jobbers, but prices are without
material change. There was some inquiry for goods adapted to
the coming holiday trade, but transactions were light. Dress
silks were a shade easier, but cashmeres, merinos, drap d'ete, &c,,
remained unchanged. Woolen goods for men's wear were dull,
and there was no movement of importance in linen or white

demand
