By the act of 1844, the latter has
15 millions sterling of notes which rest upon the public

average at that date, and for every additional note must
hold an equivalent in coin. The difference is that there

except by fault of the Comptroller of the Currency, there

hand, there seems to be no restriction upon loans,
and no system of visitation or accountability; although
it is customary in Great Britain to make half-yearly re¬
ports, those are meagre, permitting items to be so lumped
together that banking may be extended to farming in the
Antipodes without the shareholders’ knowledge. In
respect to personal liability, however, the difference is very
wide between the Scotch banks and our own. Here, the
holder of $100 of stock, besides having no claim upon the
assets, until the general creditors are paid in full, is liable
to be called upon to pay $100 more, but his liability is
several and not joint, each being liable only for his pro¬
portion of the deficit, and not for another’s; but in Scot¬
land, except in case of the three oldest banks, the liability
has no restriction, every holder of shares being exposed
to calls as long as the deficit and his
property hold out.
The superiority appears to lie with the American
system in respect to security. Here, the idea of an
unlimited and indefinite liability—one which is utterly
uncertain both

personal demands in ease of
general habit in Great Britain,
the word “ limited” being ordinarily used as a part of
the title of corporations. It may seem strange that peo‘
pie should be willing to buy shares that practically made
them general partners in a business, with the manage¬
ment of which they had no personal share; but famili¬
arity with the idea of any danger breeds indifference.
Men endorse for the accommodation of friends, with the
feeling that it is a matter of form only, and the confi¬
dence in Scotch banks was almost as perfect as in the
government itself. It was a confidence justified by sev¬
eral centuries of almost unbroken success.
The solidity
of their banks was a matter of Scotch pride.
They had
won a reputation
the world over; they represented
wealth, thrift, and all the best characteristics of the
Scotch character; the shares meant plump dividends,
and the purchaser probably no more supposed that his
shares could cost him an assessment in this way than
that the paper certificate itself could explode
in
his pocket.
Probably many holders did not so
much as know that any legal liability existed, even as
a matter of form;
they never thought about trouble
at all, but took the shares and dividends gladly, and
trusted the managers implicitly. To call this trust
heedless is easy now, but instances of almost equal
trust, with less apparent foundation, have been plenty
in our own country.
Out of the long course of success
grew hankering for still larger profits, and then, the
managers needing money for their own business in dull
times, the, bold mismanagement which destroyed the
bank. Success has its dangers.
Perhaps the calamity will produce, as a result of the
thorough examination and discussion of banking which
must certainly follow, some important amendment of
the banking system in respect to legal accountability;
for, while this failure proves nothing against banking, it
must ba evident that further legal restriction—particu¬
larly examinations and publicity—will be safer than
confidence alone. This can never disturb good banking,
and bad banking ought to be disturbed. The Scotch
are not a volatile
people and will not forget their lesson
immediately. Even if they do not devise any precau
tionary measures, the effect will doubtless be to induce
an

the old-time conservatism which gave

banking the strength and success out of which,

through acceptances, and next to the practices that
destroyed the Glasgow Bank.
THE ACCURACY OF COTTON CROP REPORTS.

The

Liverpool Post of October 9th, in an article
commenting upon the irreconcilable differences in the
cotton statistics issued by the British Board of Trade
and the Liverpool Cotton Brokers’ Association, refers
also at some length to certain differences between our
Cotton Crop figures of September 1st and the crop
statement issued subsequently at New Orleans, closing
its criticism with the following remark—“ there may be
variations of opinion as to estimates, but there ought
to be no discrepancies as to facts.”
Before

noticing the questions raised by the Post9 we
it that a difference of 3 7,000 bales out of
nearly 5 millions, is not so very surprising, when we con¬
sider the difficulty of obtaining the facts, and the many
sources of those facts, which enter into and make up an
American crop statement. Very little of the informa¬
tion is really official,—that is, very little is obtained from

For instance, the Post in

naturally led into the error of supposing there is a disa¬

none, ours being 148,000 bales, and its 147,747

it is again wrong in making 22,000

he has mastered the difficulties which have hitherto marred the
effective use of electricity for lighting purposes. And now while
we

await the results of the

experiments which are being made
are further surprised
by the
marvellous discoveries of Mr. Salisbury.
The exhibition made
at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard on Saturday, promises to completely
revolutionize the iron, steel and glass trades.
By using
petroleum for fuel, not only is coal superseded, but, at a
comparatively trifling cost, there is acquired a heating power
which surpasses anything hitherto known. In the
experiments,
the heat registered 5,000
degrees, melted pig iron in ten minutes
instead of two hours, and made
liquid glass in two hours insteac
of sixteen.
The invention consists of the
liquid fuel and the
means of
using it. The fuel is made of the residuum of petroleum
and coal tar—a mixture of about the
consistency of molasses.
It is conducted from the barrel to the furnace
by means of a
small pipe.
At the end of this pipe, as it extends into the door
of the furnace, is a funnel-shaped
apparatus. When the fue.
enters this funnel, it comes in contact with a current of
highly
Buper-heated steam, which atomizes the liquid, and thus admits a
sufficient amount of oxygen
at the point of ignition.
The
atomized fuel then shoots in a fierce but delicate
.spray into the
blazing furnace, the brick arches of which are kept at a white
heat. Mr. Salisbury hopes by his invention to revolutionize the
ocean steamship trade; and he is about to
proceed to Pittsburg to
reconstruct her three hundred blast
furnaces, and make that city
the greatest
manufacturing centre in the world. If the appara¬
tus proves to be as safe as it is
undoubtedly effective, Mr.
Salisbury’s discovery will lead to great and radical changes in
many branches of industry.

seriously the process of recovery. The princi¬
pal failure this week is that of Messrs. Heugh, Balfour & Co., of
Manchester, a firm well-known throughout the United States. The
liabilities are not yet known with
any degree of accuracy, as the
suspension only took place actually last night; but the Manches¬
ter Guardian of
to-day says that the direct liabilities owing in
that city amount to about
£200,000 and that any sums owing to
Manchester banks are amply covered. The
suspension has, it is
understood, Jbeen caused by the stoppage of the firm’s
ordinary
discount facilities in London. The firm of
Heugh, Dunlop & Co.,
of Bradford, is a
separate establishment, and its position is not
affected by the stoppage of
Heugh, Balfour & Co.’
This failure in Manchester caused a
gloomier feeling to pre¬
vail. For some days past there has been
increasing uneasiness

It is

days since the City of Glasgow Bank
stopped payment, and yet there has been no panic, which is so
far satisfactory ; but the
opinion is widely held that the process
of failing may be so
frequently repeated that, without any panic
taking place, there will be a prolonged period of restricted con¬
fidence. Many persons desire to go
through a short and decisive
process; but the object of those more tangibly
interested is to
afford support wherever
practicable, and, at all events, to miti¬

Fine English
samples continue scarce, and sell at about previous rates; but
inferior produce is still very dull. The markets are well
supplied
with foreign wheat.
During the week ended Oct. 5, the sales of home-grown
wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to 71,441 quarters, against 61,436 quarters last
year;
and it is estimated that in the whole Kingdom
they were
285,764 quarters, against 245,744 quarters in 1877. Since harvest
the sales in the 150 principal markets have been 344,140
quarters,
against 287,095 quarters, and it is computed that in the whole
Kingdom they have been 1,376,560 quarters, against 1,148,500
quarters in the corresponding period of last season. Without
reckoning the supplies furnished ex-granary at the commence¬
ment of the season, it is estimated that the
following quantities
of wheat and flour have been placed upon the British markets
since harvest:

East-Bound Freight Pool.—The meeting of
managers and
general freight agents of the various Western railroads, for the
purpose of forming an east-bound pool from
Chicago, St. Louis,
Peoria, Cincinnati,' Indianapolis and Louisville, assembled at
Chicago last week. At a meeting held in the same city Sept. 5th
and 6th, the
preliminary steps were taken for the formation of
the pool.
The roads leading from St. Louis reported that
they
had agreed to allow each of the lines 20
per cent of the business
from that place.
It was agreed by the roads running east from
Peoria that the following should be the
percentages of the busi¬
ness allotted to each line:
Indianapolis Bloomington & Western,
29; Toledo Peoria & Warsaw, 29; Chicago Pekin & Southwestern,
20 ; Chicago Rock Island & Pacific,
12; Illinois Midland, 5; and
Pekin Lincoln & Decatur, 5; A commissioner is to be
appointed
to make the division.
The Louisville and
Indianapolis roads
reported to the meeting that they had agreed upon percentages;
but the figures are not known.
Subsequently the railroad managers succeeded in forming a
pool for east-bound freight from Chicago, which is to go into
effect Nov. 1.
All the roads are
pledged to give ten days' notice
of any raise or reduction in its rates.
These pools are formed on the general basis
adopted at the Sep¬
tember meeting, which embraced the
following points: 1. That
Chicago, St. Louis, Peoria, Indianapolis, Louisville and Cincin¬
nati shall be pooled points.
2. That all tonnage (live stock
excepted) originating beyond the pooled point shall be included
in the tonnage from such nearest
pooled points. 3. That the
tonnage, for five years, or such less period of time as may
be
agreed upon, prior to July 1st, 1878., be taken as the basis for
determining the proportion due to each road.
—The card of Messrs. B. F. Babcock &
Co., commission mer¬
chants in Liverpool, will be found on the last
page of the Chron¬
icle.
This firm is represented in New York
by the strong and
conservative house of Messrs. Babcock Brothers &
Co., 50 Wall
street, and for any transactions in cotton or other
produce between
the New York and Liverpool
markets, these firms have every

facility which capital and experience furnish.

Gas Stocks and Electric Eight.—A lecture was delivered
Morton at the Stevens Institute, Hoboken,
on
the electric light.
Mr. Morton said but little of the
practicability of bringing the light into common use in place of
gas and oil, and his remarks on that point may be condensed
from the Tribune report as follows
:
“Everybody knows many of the uses to which this has been
already put. The illuminatiou of large workshops, of public
buildings, places of amusement,gardens, and the like, is undoubt¬
edly an accomplished fact, and this use of the electric light we
feel confident will
largely extend. But it has been suggested
that more than this will soon be
reached, and that the electric
light will take the place of other sources of
illumination—gas,
for example—in
private houses. It would be very foolish for any
one to
attempt to predict what may or may not be accomplished
in the future, but in such a case as this we
may at least look back
at the past and see what has been the
history
of the same thing,
and judge
something of future probabilities from past experi¬

lately by Prof.

Illinois & St. Louis Bridge.—In the U. S. Circuit Court at
Judge Treat has made a decree foreclosing the first
and second
mortgages and the supplementary mortgage on the
Illinois & St. Louis Bridge, and all its
property and franchises,
on the 20th of December
next, unless the judgments heretofore
rendered, amounting to over $7,000,000, shall be paid within ten
days from the date of decree.
The suit, the St. Louis Globe Democrat
reports, was in the
names of John
Pierpont Morgan and others, against the Illinois &
St. Louis Bridge Company, and there is a cross-bill of John
A.
Stewart and Solon Humphreys, trustees of the first
mortgage,
and a cross-bill of Solon
Humphreys and John A. Stewart,
trustees under the second
mortgage. All the parties in interest
were represented in the trial, all desire the sale of
the bridge,
and the sale will
convey a full and clear title to all the property,
franchises, etc., including a number of valuable lots and parcels
of land in this city and East St. Louis.

the Boston

& Woonsocket Road, 34 miles, and the
Stockbridge
Branch, 18 miles, making 260 miles in all. It leases, besides,

the Norwich & Worcester and the Rhode
Island & Mass. Roads.
The corporation lias out
$3,400,000 of bonds,

covering all

its possessions, including
the uncompleted portion of the road
between Waterbury & Fishkill. Mr.
Clark, the manager, says
that no more bonds will be
issued, except for the development
of the line
westerly, and that it will require only about 60 days
to put the road in
running order to the Hudson River. It is not

probable, however, that anything will be done before spring.
The amount of bonds the
company has the right to issue is $10,000,000. Old Berdell bonds are now convertible into stock of the
new
company, and were selling to-day at 311 in Boston and 33 in
New York. Six months ago bonds sold for 11. The
managers
expect in a few days to put on through trains from Boston to
Hartford, and connect here with the New York New Haven &

The plan approved by the Committee of Three, Messrs.

things that
will exist in 1896, and aims so to arrange the
re-organization of
the new company that its future credit and
prosperity will be
now placed upon a secure basis.

and also to at
once place the new issue of 6
per cent bonds in high credit,
it is essential that a strong
sinking fund be established
as soon as possible,
in order that the company may profit
by the advantage of compounding interest for a long

rather than a short one.
It is proposed, therefore, to
apply the first surplus available, after paying all interest
charges and putting the road in good order, to the extent of
$600,000, to the purchase of the new consolidated 6 per cent
bonds, the same to be placed in the sinking fund, and the
interest thereon to accumulate and be
constantly invested in the
same bonds.
Also, after the payment of $600,000 shall have
been made, a payment of $50,000 shall be made

Co., $80,000; W. C. Sheldon, $20,000; Abram S. Hewitt, $70,000. This brought the total cost up to $450,000 and
gave the
Erie Company the majoritv not only of the old bonds but also of
the proposed new issue.
There is considerable ill-feeling among
the bondholders who were not admitted into the
arrangement, and
they are outspoken in accusing the members of the Purchasing
Committee of having taken
advantage of their position to unload
their bonds without notice to their fellow-bondholders,
in whose
interest they were supposed to be
acting.”

‘‘To understand the situation more
fully, it is necessary to know
that the Montclair Railroad only ran to Penhorn
Creek, on the
other side of Bergen Hill. The Midland Railroad also terminated
near the same point.
Mr. Tilden and the other officers of the
two roads

were the
fortunate owners of about a mile and a half
of traca known as the Hudson
Extension, and they were the
Hudson Extension Company.” *
* * “ It is supposed that the
Erie Company will extend the Montclair track in a
southerly
direction across the marshes to its main line, and thence

through
Bergen tunnel to the Erie depot at Jersey City. This will
rtquire only a quarter of a mile of track, and will destroy the
usefulness of the Hudson Extension
Company's line, except so
far

as

the Midland Railroad is concerned.

It. is estimated that

fully one-third of the expenses of the Montclair Road were for
terminal facilities, and this will, of
course, be saved under the
new
management.
The Erie Company also provide by the pur¬
chase against any development
antagonistic to their interests

The reduction of receipts is due to the restriction of coil pro.
duction, the mines having been worked but nine days in Sep.

Railroad Rates in England and the United States.—At
the half-yearly meeting of the Great Western Railway
Company,
of England, recently held in London, a reference was made to
the passenger rates on a portion of the lines of that
company,
which shows that charges on many American railways are lower
than the corresponding charges on English lines, or, indeed, on
the lines of any other extensive railway system in the world.
The circular of Messrs. Satterthwa’te & Co. comments as
follows: -*• The rates on the Great Western are, therefore, in
American currency, about $15 for first-class accommodations, or

appointed: W. H. Wickham, at the rate of about
cents per mile; for second-class service
O. H. Williams, of Clinton, N. $10, or at the rate of about 4 1-3 cents per mile; and for third-class
Y., John Davepport, W. O. McDowell and W. C. Whitney. The accommodations, $7 25, or a little more than 3£ cents
per mile.
meeting then adjourned until Friday.
These charges are much higher than those commonly imposed
According to the decree of the United States Circuit Qourt for upon the railroads of the New England, Middle and Western
the Southern District of New York, the receivers’ certificates are
States, which have a considerable passenger traffic. The contrast

especially striking between the cost ot travelling in American

superior to those obtained by

Oregon & California.—A meeting of parties interested in

this concern took place at Frankfort recently, at which $2,811,100 of bonds were represented.
After some explanations
furnished by Mr. R. Koehler, the first resolution of the committee,

authorizing the purchase of the Oregon Central Railway by
means of the option they dispose of, was adopted by 2,750 votes
against 234. The second resolution, respecting means and ways,
was adopted

foreclosure of the United Slates Court. Charles Ridgley was the
purchaser, for the sum of $301,000. It is understood the Wabash

be seen, are much lower than the charge for the

Soon after August 8, how¬

In most sections rains

the more forward districts, and where

Guzerat, it was stated (Sept. 13), promised not over 75

of a full crop.
With these .exceptions the outlook to
September
20 was very favorable.

Total entered at the port.

Friday, P. M., Oct. 25, 1878.

The past week has developed no improvement in the demand
for fall and winter goods, and the volume of business was com¬

paratively small. Early in the week the suspension of the large
St. Louis jobbing house of Dodd, Brown & Co. was announced,
causing some excitement in the trade, as the firm had latterly
been in good credit.
Particulars in regard to the suspension
have not yet transpired, hut it is believed that the liabilities wilj
reach $1,500,000, a great portion of which is due to commission
merchants and importers in this city.
The chief feature of the
week’s business in foreign goods was a large, peremptory auction
sale of Lupin’s fabrics, which proved a marked success—the
entire line having been distributed at satisfactory average prices.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—There

steady demand for
domestics for export, and 3,466 packages were shipped from this
port to foreign markets during the week ending October 22d,
including 1,001 packages to Bremen, 1,303 to Havre, 428 to Great
Britain, 200 to Antwerp, 163 to Hayti, 64 to Cuba, 82 to British
Australia, 54 to Mexico, &c. The home demand for cotton goods
was chiefly of a hand-to-mouth character, and no animation was
observed in any particular class of fabrics, though heavy fine
brown sheetings and low-grade cotton flannels were relatively
