NOVEMBER.

Autumn month, the demand for investments
in November was rather active.
The result of the gen¬
eral elections held on the 5th of the
month was
unques¬

tionably wholesome—and this may be said without any
leaning to one political party or the other, but simply as
regards the financial issues involved, and on these it is
well known that neither
party is a unit, for hard money

against it.
ally accepted

But the result of the elections was
gener¬
as a defeat of the greenback and silver

inflationist element, and just so far as the
prospects for a
genuine return to specie payments vras increased, to that
extent the

standing of American investments, whether

railroads that they
have made their
earnings of the past three years on a
low basis of charges, for if that were not
the case and a

large decline in freight and passenger rates was still to
be looked for, the recent
prosperity of railroads would
be hollow and unsubstantial.

The decision of
Secretary Schurz in the Dudymont

lands, has
necessarily put a check, not only on the sales of those
lands, but of all railroad and public lands at the West.
This results from the fact that
parties intending to pur¬
chase lands in
any locality will not buy at a much
higher price when there is a possibility that all the
lands of the Pacific railtoads
may be thrown open to
purchase at $1 25 per acre. It is exceedingly desirable

pending on appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States, should be passed

The Mayor in his message, May, 1S78. says that the
floating debt, Jan. 1, 1818. was $1,038,654, lese

$161,^*02 of available tax bills. He says a so: “I
deem it entirely appropriate to state here that the
bonded debt is re diy $315,000 less than the amount
above quoted, as the sinking fund has purchased to
date 297 6 per cent and 18 7 per cent bonds, in all
315 bonds of $1,030 each, which they hold as au inves ment.
This would in reality reduce the bonded
debt to $7,867,000. As assets agaiust this
liability
the city owns every share, except two, of the water¬

works; nearly $1,000,000 of gas st^cv. $1,003,000 of

Memphis, Tenn.—The city has been in default for

and there

nominal assets
to balance this of $2,113,690.
were

(unpaid taxes, &c.)
The circular of July,
1877, urging the city cred¬
itors to accept the
proposition
had the follow¬
ing: “These new bonds are especially valuable,
1st, bee-use they and the coupons are made

receivable in payment of all taxes and
demands
of the city,
aud this feature is expressly made
a ’part
of the contract with the
bondholders;
2d It is part of the
contract, and irrepealable,
that the city shall not issue
any more bonds.
The animal levy of taxes for all
purposes will of
course exceed the amount cf the annual
interest
coupons on these bonds.
Hence the interest is
as>ured at all events, even if
by inevitable misfor¬
tune the city should fail to
pay the interest in
money. The proposition is to issue the new com¬

promise bonds in exchange for the present indebt¬
edness (including interest on
past due indebted¬
