THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

The

Secretary of the Treasury has announced his inten¬

tions with reference to the
surplus revenues accumulating
in the
Treasury. The programme laid down suits neither
operators for a fall in stock values nor
operators for a
rise.
The former contend that the

urgent, and as there have already been

signs of stringency in the market, the
Treasury should come to the relief of borrowers by doing

establish, as nearly as may be, an equality between
receipts and disbursements. This duty the Secre¬
tary appears to recognize, and it is reassuring to know that
he has resisted the pressure that has been
brought to bear
upon him to go further than that and flood the market
with large supplies of Treasury funds, even at the
expense
of exhausting or impairing his reserves.
Twenty millions of the extended sixes have been called.
In
addition, the Secretary will, for five weeks,
redeem at par and accrued interest $2,000,000

of extended bonds, either called or uncalled.

bonds—there would thus be released from the

Treasury

within the next three months about 30 million

dollars,
which, assuming that the Treasury accumulates say 16
million dollars a month, would be equal to about twothirds of the sum taken out of the market
during that
time.
But there are other payments to be made.
Two
weeks ago we compiled a statement showing
the moneys
held by the Treasury September 1 as
compared with the
amount held at the
beginning of the year. From this
statement it appeared that after making allowance for
gold, silver and other certificates, and for the redemption
funds, there remained in the Treasury on September 1
the sum of $190,267,700, or almost 21 millions more than
on
January 1. Out of this, large sums were to come in
the immediate future, so that the balance sheet to be
Sgued next week will doubtless show a diminished total.

held by Secretary Sherman on January 1, 1881. Amount
to be paid on account of pensions is not included in pay¬
ments here given, because the probable monthly surplus
has been estimated on the basis of what would remain
after allowing for pensions.
It should also be remem.
bered that in arriving at the sum of money held, full
deductions have been made on account of gold and silver
certificates, certificates of deposit, and the various redemp¬
tion funds against national bank notes, &c.
It would appear accordingly that Mr. Windom’s money
balance at the end of the year is likely to stand not very
much higher than that of Secretary Sherman at the end of
1880, and that business men have little reason to fear that
the Treasury, by its operations, will contribute to bring
about a scarcity of loanable funds.
If we have a period
of tight money it will be because of other circumstances,
and not on account of any failure on the part of the
Treasury to do all that is incumbent upon it and proper
and wise.

If this shall be the

present creditors and debtors alike are subjected to much
uncertainty and a great deal of inconvenience.
A bankrupt law has two functions.
It takes a debtor’s
estate into custody of court, and aims at
making distribu¬
tion of it among creditors more economically,
expeditiously
and fairly, than can be done as the result of rival attach¬
ments and executions issued
in behalf of
competing
creditors.
If creditors are left to sue each for himself,

A bankrupt act seeks to make proportional distribution of
all assets among all claimants.
But this is also the aim of
a State insolvent law.
State legislatures can provide for
equal distribution of a debtor’s means. Whether there
are to be preferences in
assignments or priority among
creditors is a question on which State law may speak if

Congress. To grant a discharge is the peculiar
a national
bankrupt law.
Let it be remembered that the question now before the
country is whether there shall be a permanent bankrupt
law.
Just after the revolution a bankrupt law was
enacted ; it endured for a short time only; it was, no
doubt, needed and useful. Following the,general ruin of
commercial enterprises which culminated in 1836 and
1837, another was passed ; it continued about three years;
there was special reason for it in the troubles which pre¬
ceded.
After the civil war a third was created ; it was in
operation about twelve years. Each of these temporary
laws was suited to a special emergency.
There is reason
and justice in saying, after a season of general disaster
which individuals could not foresee, and against which
they could not provide:—All those who have failed in
business, under the stress of this exigency, shall be per¬
mitted, on surrendering their assets, to recommence free

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF SEPTEMBER,

1881.

September has been eventful in manf
respects. The death of President Garfield on the 19th
was the occurrence of
deepest interest - to all sections of
the country, and seldom has there been a death of any
man in high position which so moved the public at home
and abroad.
In business circles the possibility of his
decease had long been contemplated, and when it occurred
there was scarcely any effect produced on the markets.
Yice-President 'Arthur quietly succeeded to the presi¬
dential office without a ripple of excitement.
The monetary situation attracted much attention, but
notwithstanding the low condition of the bank reserves
there was generally a fair supply of money, and for a
short time only did stock borrowers 'pay over 5@6 per

arrangement with the New National Bank for the
It is understood that

against
cent of the old 3 per cent bonds, amounting in the aggre¬
gate to £10,241,650, fresh bonds will be issued bearing interest
at the rate of 5 per cent. The
remaining half of the 1851 debt
will be disposed of by the creation of bonds not
bearing interest,
but redeemable by large annual drawings. As
security for the
necessary advances to be made by the Bank in carrying out the
above conditions, an assignment will be made to it of the Cus¬
toms revenues of Vera Cruz.
Against the 3 per cent bonds of
1864, amounting to £4,864,800, in payment of the then arrear of
nterest on the foregoing debt, it is intended to issue new bonds
not bearing interest, but redeemable
by annual drawing at a
reduction to about one-third. The security assigned to the
Bank in the latter instance is a railway belonging to the Govern¬
ment which has been used hitherto pricipally
for the convey¬
ance of troops.
As might be expected, the Maximilian loan
has been completely ignored in these negotiations.
We have now arrived at the conclusion that we shall require
a very large supply of foreign wheat
during the current sea¬
son—more, in fact, than had been anticipated. /The weather
has been fine during the week, and a large quantity of wheat
has been stacked ; but the injury had been already done, and
the bulk of the produce arriving at market is in poor condition.
The trade for wheat has been quieter, but there has been a
steady demand for choice qualities, and full prices have been

cided to keep the rate at 4 per cent. There is just now less
expectation of any advance in the Bank rate being made, and
the improvement in the New York exchange makes it less certain
that a further advance in the quotation will be necessary ; but
at the same time, the supply of gold held by the Bank is
decreasing, though by slow degrees, and it is very evident that
a revival of the export demand for gold will necessitate an
upward movement, notwithstanding that the trade inquiry is,
and promises to continue, upon a very moderate scale. This
week’s Bank return show3 a decrease of £145,644 in the supply
of bullion, but the circulation of notes has been diminished by
£293,045, and; consequently the total reserve has been aug¬
mented by £147,401. The proportion of reserve to liabilities is
now 40*65 per cent, against 39*96
per cent last week. The Bank
is experiencing a very moderate inquiry for money, the total of
“other securities” having been reduced by £307,228. The fol¬
lowing are the present quotations for money :

Adirondack.—At Saratoga, September 29, the Adirondack
was sold on a mortgage foreclosure for $350,000.
The

Railroad

purchasers were Messrs. W. W. Durant and William Sutphen,
the Trustees of the road. The Adirondack Railroad .is com¬
pleted to North Creek, and has been running for several years.
The mortgage was for $6,000,000, and there was accrued interest
amounting to $3,600,000 m^re. The mortgage covered a large
amount of lands in Warren, Essex, Franklin, Herkimer, Hamil¬
ton and St. Lawrence counties, besides the railroad.
Company.—The details of the agreement
Jersey Central and Reading railroad com¬
panies and the Alliance Ccal Company were made public a short
time since. The lands of the original coal company, consisting
of 4.000 acres, costing originally $300,000, have been sold for
$1,100,000 to a party of New York capitalists, who will begin
their development.
The purchasers retain the title of the
Alliance Coal Company, with Rossiter W. Raymond as Presi¬
dent, Frederic A. Potts of New Jersey as Vice-President,
Ex-Judge Low of New York as Secretary, and Abram
S. Hewitt of New York as Treasurer. Jos-ph S. Harris of
Pottsville, Pa., represents the New Jersey Central Railroad in
the board of directors. Hewitt & Co. of the original Alliance
Coal Company retain $300,000 of stock, while the Central Rail¬
road Company gets $100,000. The capital stock is placed at
$2,000,000, of whicli three-fourths are paid in.
Atlantic & Pacific.—The securities of this road (Western
Division) have been placed on the Board list as follows : First

capital stock has been reduced by the cancellation of
amounting to $178,568. This stock was acquired by
purchase at various times, and was canceled in pursuance of a,
resolution adopted by the Board of Directors on Feb. 11, 1881.
The report concludes: “ In the face of many circumstances
of embarrassment the net earnings of your load for this year
are greater than they have ever been;
deducting operating
expenses, interest and taxes, the earnings for main line amount
to 5 43-100 per cent upon the capital stock.
For the past five
years the earnings were as follows: 1875-76, 3 97-100 per cent;
1876-77, 3 32-100 per cent; 1877-78, 3 87-100 per cent; 1878-79, |
2 84-100 per cent; 1879-80; 3 82-100 per cent.
For the year
1879-80 the earnings were apparently equal to those of the

Boston & Lowell—Concord.—The memorandum of agree¬
ment between the Boston & Lowell and the Concord corpora¬
tions, which is to continue in force for five years, the Lowell
Courier reports, is construed as a business contract only, and in
no sense as a lease of one road to the other or as a union of
their corporate powers or privileges. All leases of either road

existing are assumed by the joint management, and from
joint earnings there are to be allowed the rentals of roads
so long as the same shall be operated and managed by the
parties during the continuance of this agreement. The equip¬
ment is to be kept by the joint management in good repair,
and be at. all times during the continuance of this agreement at
the risk, from all causes, of the the joint management; and
upon the termination of this contract the joint roads are to
make a proper allowance for any depreciation from use. The
net income of the joint roads after payment of all expenses
incident to their operation, including rentals, is to be divided
between said corporations in the proportion of 60 per cent to
the Boston & Lowell Railroad, and 40 per cent to the Concord
Railroad. All matters of disagreement under the contract are
to be referred to the arbitration of three persons—Francis B.
Hayes on the part of the Concord Railroad and T. Jefferson
Coolidge on the part of the Boston & Lowell Railroad, these
two to choose a third, the decision of a majority of whom shall
in all cases be final and conclusive. If a vacancy shall occur on
the part of either party, it shall be filled by the board of

Carolina Central.—The first mortgage 6 per cent bonds due
July 1, 1920, have been placed on the Board list, to the amount
of $2,000,000, of which $1,800,000 were issued under the agree¬
ment of reorganization, and the remainder ($200,000) retained
for construction of new road, additional equipment, or other
income-producing property. The transfer office is at No. 71
Broadway. The road of this company extends from Wilming¬
ton, N. C., by way of Charlotte, to Shelby, N. C., 242 miles.
The road was sold in foreclosure in April, 1880, and reorganized
with the following mortgage liens : $2,000,000 first mortgage
bonds, now listed as above ; $1,500,000 second mortgage 6 per
cent bonds, interest payable only out of earned income and noncumulative, and $1,500,000 third mortgage 6 per cent bonds,
interest payable only out of income and non-cumulative.

Chicago Rock Island & Pacific.—Track is now all laid on the
loop line” of the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific from Daven¬
port, la., via Buffalo to Wilton. It is 26/£ miles long and
gives the southwestern division and the Oskaloosa branch a
connection with the main at Davenport 10/£ miles shorter than
the old line by Wilton. In connection with the Oskaloosa
branch and the Keokuk & Des Moines division the new loop
completes a second line from Davenport to Des Moines only six
miles longer than the present main line, which can be used as a
loop or second track for through business. The new line will
be open for business about October 1; when the ballasting will

be finished.

the bondholders, and to restrain all other parties from recog¬
as such.
A temporary injunction in the case was
obtained from Judge Donohue on August 17. Argument upon
amotion to continue the injunction was finished Thursday,
29th inst., before Judge Potter, in Supreme Court, Chambers.
The Times report states that it was asserted for the plaintiffs
that the meeting at which Messrs. Osborn, Scott and Dinsmore

nizing them

appointed was irregular, notice not having been
all the bondholders ; that Messrs. Scott and Osborn
were

given to
were

in¬

tent upon

assisting the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to the
prejudice of the bondholders; and that they proposed to
make a compromise with that company, although the power of
a bondholders’ committee to make such a compromise
expired
when the court determined the liability of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company as guarantor. For the defense, affidavits
were presented averring that the certificates in the name of
Mr. C. J. Osborn are the property of Mr. William L. Scott, and
that neither of these gentlemen is an agent of the Pennsylva¬
nia Railroad Company. It was asserted that the meeting at
which Messrs. Scott, Osborn and Dinsmore were appointed was
regular in every respect, and that these gentlemen were un¬
likely to make a compromise disadvantageous to the bondhold¬
for the reason that one of their number owned about twothirds of the bonds. At the close of the argument Mr. Stetson
withdrew the application for an injunction upon the under¬
ers

standing that his clients should receive five full days* notice of
meeting called to ratify any agreement made by the com¬
mittee with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and they
might then, if they chose, renew the application. It was also
understood, but not definitely agreed, that the committee
should give Mr. Stetson’s clients information respecting the
terms of the agreement in advance of the meeting.
East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia—Norfolk & Western—
Shenandoah Valley.—A contract for the consolidation of the
business of the Norfolk & Western and Shenandoah Valley
railroads with the East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia Companie has been signed by the Presidents of the respective
roads under the name of the Virginia Tennessee & Georgia Air
Line. They have appointed Henry Fink General Manager.
This is not an absolute consolidation of the companies, but rather
a working agreement, and President Cole said to a Tribune
reporter that its importance can be best understood by the
any

statement that it forms a new trunk line under one manage¬
ment from Memphis to Norfolk, Va., and from Chattanooga
via. Atlanta and Macon to Brunswick, and via. Knoxville and

Kentucky Central to Cincinnati. By this combination, about
2,138 miles of Southern railroads come into line as a systematic
organization reaching every point of importance in the South
and by direct lines. The consolidation of securities was under
consideration, and the advisability of taking such action would
be decided in the future.

Evansville & Terre Haute.—The following were placed on
the Stock Exchange list, viz.: Capital stock, $3,000,000, in $50
shares. First consolidated mortgage 6 per cent gold bonds,
due on July 1,1921, to the amount of $3,500,000. The amount

is $2,078,000, the remainder being disposed of as

Paul Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad Company has decided to
build a new line from Eau Claire to Superior City, which is to be
the new termination of the Northern Pacific Road. The road will
be 135 miles

long.

The Northern Pacific Company originally

intended to build a road down through Wisconsin, but the

Kentucky Central.—The stock and bonds have been placed
on the New York Board list, as follows : Capital stock, $5,500,000 in $100 shares, the authorized amount being $6,600,000, but
$1,100,000 stock being retained in the treasury for extensions
and new equipment. Mortgage 6 per cent bonds, due on July

five years, to the amount of $4,500,000. The total authorized
amount is $6,600,000, or at the rate of $30,000 per mile as the

Lake Erie

& Western.—At

Springfield, Ill., Sept. 27, the
bill was filed in the United States
Court by Judd & Whitehouse against the Lafayette Blooming¬
ton & Muncie and the Lake Erie & Western Railways, which
were consolidated in 1879 into the present road—the Lake Erie
& Western. Before the consolidation the Lafayette Blooming¬
press

dispatches report that

ton & Muncie had issued

a

a

million dollars income bonds, secured

by second mortgage

on its property and its earnings, and by
their terms convertible into capital stock at par value, each

$1,000 bond being entitled to ten shares of Lafayette Bloom¬
ington & Muncie stock. Counsel represent half a million of
these bonds, and charge that the consolidation resulted disas¬
trously to the interests of their clients, and was a fraud on their

rights; that after the consolidation
stock

was

some

$3,000,000 of watered

isssued, and the consolidated company now seeks to

compel the complainant to accept the depreciated stock for
bonds at par. The bill asks the appointment
for an injunction restraining any transfer of

of a Receiver and

the $3,000,000 of
stock, and a determination of the complainant’s rights.
Louisville & Nashville.—This company has placed the fol¬
lowing on the New York Board list: Six per cent bonds, issued

with the terms of the mortgages of September 19, 1876, and

May 21, 1879. The road extends from Greenfield, N. H., to
Keene, thirty miles. Lately it has been worked by the Connec¬
ticut River Company, under a temporary contract with the
trustees. Its reported liabilities are $500,000 bonds and $800,000 floating debt.
Manhattan Elevated.—The direstors of the Manhattan Ele¬
vated Railway Company met Wednesday morning at their

offices, No. 71 Broadway, all the members of the board being
present. Default in payment of the rentals of the Elevated
roads occurred on July 1. The time allowed by the leases for the
redemption of a default was ninety days, and on September 29
this expired* After a brief discussion of the general situation,
the

following preamble and resolutions were adopted :
Whereas, The Manhattan Company has not been able to pay the
interest on the bonds of the lessor companies, or the guaranteed divi¬
dends and rentals provided by the terms of the leases, owing to the
increased cost of labor and materials in the operation of the road, and
the onerous taxes imposed, from which the company has appealed, and
the disappointment in the receipts resulting from the reduction of the
fares below the rates allowed by law, and
Whereas, The receipts are now rapidly increasing, and
Whereas, The company is unable to issue additional securities pro¬
viding for such indebtedness, owing to the company being in the hands
of Receivers; now, therefore, for the purpose of protecting the interests
of the stockholders of the company, it is
Resolved, That the Receivers be and are hereby requested to issue
Receivers’ certificates, or provide such other means as tlie\T may deem
proper, for the purpose of paying off the present indebtedness of this
company, and for meeting any deficiency that may arise in the amounts
due to the two lessor companies, until such time as the net receipts shall
be sufficient to provide for such payment and for the retiring of such
certificates.

Counsel for the New York company said that if the Man¬

New York West Shore & Buffalo—New York Ontario & West¬
ern.—The Chicago Tribune says: “ The New York Ontario &
Western and the New York West Shore & Buffalo roads have
made a trade that will be advantageous to both. The Ontario &
Western have turned over to the other company $10,000,000 of
cash and all the rights they had in the route on the west
bank of the Hudson River, between Hoboken and Cornwall, and
in the terminal grounds opposite New York. In return for this
cash and concessions the West Sh ore Co. agrees to build the road
between the points named and to give the Ontario & Western

perpetual right-of-way

over it and perpetual use of the ter¬
minal facilities at Weehawken, and also hands over to the On¬

The above totals show that the old interior stocks have in¬
creased during the week 18,143 bales, and are to-night 26,599
bales more than at the same per:< d last year. The receipts at
the same towns have been 1,111 bales less than the same week

last year.

exports than another, at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,
from the United States,
including in it the exports of Friday only:
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement

cotton

goods, point cloths, &c.

Domestic Cotton Goods.—The exports of cotton

goods dur¬
ing the week ending September 27 were 2,215 packages, of
which 887 were shipped to Great Britain, 628 to China, 368 to
United States of Colombia, 124 to Brazil, 46 to Mexico, &c.,

making the total exports from this port since January 1 105,938
packages, against 80,966 for the same period in 1880. There
wi8 only a moderate demand for cotton goods at first hands,
and the jobbing trade was less active, but prices ruled firm
along the whole line, and stocks remain very light as a rule.
Cotton flannels are very scarce in low and medium grades, and
an advance of %e. per yard has been made on leading makes.
Print cloths were active and higher, closing at 3 15-16c. plus 1
per cent tto 4c. for 64x64s and 3/£c. for 56x60s. Prints were
quieter, but prices are fully maintained and stocks are in good
shape Dress ginghams were fairly active, and leading makes
continue sold in advance of productions.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—There has been a fairly satisfac¬
tory demand for spring woolens by the wholesale clothing
trade, and orders for cotton-warp and all-wool fancy
cassimeres, suitings and worsted coatings were placed with
manufacturers* agents co a liberal aggregate amount. In heavy
woolens there was no movement of importance, the demand
having been mostly for small parcels of such fabrics as were
required for keeping up assortments. Beavers were in light
request, and the demand for cloakings was irregular, and
chiefly of a hand-to-mouth character. For repellents there
was a light demand at unchanged prices, and Kentucky jeans
and satinets ruled quiet and steady in first hands. Flannels
continued to move in fair qantities, and prices remained firm on
all the most desirable makes of scarlets, blues, &c. Blankets
were in fair demand, and stocks are so light that prices are
stffly maintained. Worsted dress goods, shawls and skirts were
taken in small lots to a fair amount, and there was a large
movement in shirts and drawers on account of back orders.
Foreign Dry Goods were jobbed in considerable quantities,

but the demand at first hands

was only moderate.
Black silks,
Lyon and Rhadames were in steady request, and there
was a fair inquiry for satins, plushes and velvets at unchanged
prices. Cashmeres were in fair demand but fancy dress goods
were rather slow.
Linen goods ruled quiet and steady, and
there was a fair business in hosi ery ana gloves. The auction

Friday, P, M., Sept. 30, 1881.

dry goods trade has not shown much animation the past

demand for fall and winter} goods having been
by

oppressively warm and unseasohable weather,
however, a steady movement in cotton goods, knit
underwear, &c., on account of back orders, and the demand for
spring cassimeres, suitings, &e., was stimulated by the appear¬
