Nothing very important has transpired during the week in
connection with the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank but
there is an uneasy feeling, and further suspensions are regarded
as inevitable.
Those recorded during the week have not
attracted much attention, and there is a belief that the severity
of any crisis will be mitigated by the fresh arrangements which,
it is understood, some firms have been able to make for discount
accommodation and advances. For the time, a decided lull in
general business is apparent, and some fancy that it is only
preceding a storm of trouble; but there seems to be no reason to
depart from the belief entertained at the close of last week, that
the difficulties will be comparatively local.
The provincial and
Scotch banks have been making great preparations to provide
against contingencies, and large amounts of coin have been withdrawn from the Bank of England during the week. About two
millions in sovereigns have bten sent away, there being an
increase of only £384,070 in the supply of gold held by the Bank,
against a recorded influx of £1,532,000. it is very satisfactory to

much more quiet tone iu financial circles, both in this market

The cable dispatches lately received from London indicate

a material improvement in the feeling there, based upon, or
connected with, the much better condition of the Bank of
England. Not the least striking of the fluctuations attending the
recent disturbances in monetary affairs has been the rapid decline
and still more sharji recovery in the rates for foreign exchange.

REPORTS.
Mobile & (rirard Railroad.
{For the year ending May 31, 1S78.)
The president's annual report has the following: The earnings
of your road for the year ending on tlie 31st Mav have been
$175,572, and the expenses |113,274, leaving net $63",398.
This is a considerable improvement over the previous year,
espf-cially if we take into account the fact that the renewal of
rails has been considerably more than for any previous year
The rolling stock and bridges
since the existence o( the road.
have also been very much improved all ot which has been
charged to expenses.
lo the last annual report a vry full statement was made of a
scheme for reducing the interest upon the indebtedness of the
company. This plan has ben carried out so far as to exchange
$800,000 of the company's 4 per cent bonds, with the Central
& Banking Company
amrunt
of Georgia, for a like
of
company's first mortgage bond.i, and the coupons which had
been taken up by that company. Of the $33,500 plain 8 per cent
bonds outstanding at the date of the last report, $33,000 have
been taken up and canceled by exchange for a like amount of 6
per cent bonds thus reducing our interest account from $9t,202
to 157,980 per annum, leaving one plain bond of $500, yet
this
;
outstanding, to be adjusted whenever it is presfnted.
The 1300,000 8 per cent bonds will mature January 1st, 1839,
and, with reasonable prosperity, it is believed that the company
will bo able to meet them at maturity, with the use only of the
H. Epping,
$167,000 6 per cent bonds now in the hands of
Eaq., Trustee. If this can be done, the annual interest will then
amount to only $44,000 per annum, and it is not unreasonable
to expect that small dividends can thereafter be paid from the
earnings of the road.

considered that we have placed 6^ miles of new raila in the

company, all of which has been chartred to current expenses, it
will be seen tbat the cost of running the road has been even less
than that of the previous year.

holders of Atlantic Mississippi & Ohio consolidated bonds. The

The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Company is to take possession
of the D. & R. G. Railroad, now 337 miles, and operate it
exclusively for the period of thirty years, beginning December 1
next, paying all the taxes, insurance and general expenses.
The
rental to be paid the Denver & Rio Grande Company is 43 per
cent of the gross earnings for the first year with a reduction of 1
per cent each succeeding year until the seventh is reached. From
the seventh to the fourteenth year, both inclusive, the rental is
to be 37 per cent per annum, of the gross earnings and for the
remaining sixteen years of the lease 36 per cent is to be paid
annually- In determining the amount of gross earnings from
which the rent is to be computed, the gross earnings from all
business interchanged between the two roads, or by the Pueblo
& Arkansas Valley Railioad, shall be divided on a basis of crediting each mile of transportation over the Denver & Rio Grande
road as one and a quarter mile?, except where such business
shall be interchanged between the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
connecting Pueblo with Canon City, and the road which may
connect Canon City with Leadville, in which case the gross
earnings shall be divided jyro rata according to the number of
miles hauled over the respective roads.
Santa Fe Company agrees not to build,
The Atchison Topeka
operate, or encourage any road, directly or indirectly, not already
constructed, that is parallel to or competing with the Denver & Rio
Grande's present constructed lines. The lease also provides that
the Atchison Company shall not change the guage of its road or
lay a third rail, without widening the guage
or laying an
additional rail, over all the Denver & Rio Grande lines", except
those betwesn Pueblo and the coal mines east of Canon City.
Any lines that may be built from any terminus ot the Denver &
Rio Grande road, or in extension thereof, shall be of three feet
guage. The Atchison Company also binds itself not to discriminate in freight or other charges, in any manner, to tbo injury of
the Denver & Rio Grande Company, and, where traffic can be
carried at the election of the lessee, it shall be transported by
the shortest line.
The rental is to be paid by the month. When the Atchison
Topeka & 8anta Pe takes possession of the leased road, it is to
pav the Denver & Rio Grande, for the fuel, material and other
railway supplies on hand, a sum to be agreed upon by two persons, one to be appointed by the president of each road,
'This
sum is to be applied by the Denver Company to the paymtntof
any of its debts, exclusive of stock, in excess of $33,664 per mile.
The Denver & Rio Grande engages to deposit the money received
for rent with the U. S. Trust Co., or other trust compauy, in trust,
for the payment of interest on its debts, exclusive of stock, going
to make up the sum of $33,664 per mile.
If any surplus remains,
it is to be applied to the i>ayment of such debts and liabilities in
excess of the sum of $32,6(54 per mile, until fully satisfied, after
which the money may be used in the redemption ami cancelation
of the D.'nver & Rio Grande first mortgage bonds.
No provision
of the lease is to be abrogated or modified unless with the formal
written cocsent of the trustees of the present mortgages of the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, or of holders, duly evidenced as
such, owning or representing at least $3,000,000 bonds.
All the litigation between the two companies is to be abandoned, and the Denver & Rio Grande Road is to ba extended to

and a cross bill of Solon Humphreya and John A. Stewart,
trustees under the second mortgage.
AH the parties In Intereat
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,
franclilaes, etc., inclading a number of valuable lots and parcels
of land in this city and East St. Louis.
The decree sets forth that on the 17th of October there waa
due to John A. Stewart and Solon Humphreys, truateea under
the first mortgage, the sum of $4,006,571, In gold coin of the
United Slates, which sum la ordered to be paid within ten daya

" This idea of dividing the electric light in the sense I havejust
it is ordered and decreeil that the bridge, its approacbea
noticed is no new notion.
At least twenty years ago it was not days,
and appurtenances, franchises and other property included in the
only thought of, but believed to have been
accomplished.
"For example, a paper read before the French Academy by M.
Jobart, a member of the Academy and a man of high scientific
reputation, on the 37th of February, 1858, stated as follows
"'I ha.>iten to announce to the Academy the important discovery
of the dividing of an electric current for lighting purposes.
The
current from a single source traverses as many wires as may be
desired, and gives a series of lights ranging from a night lamp to
lighthouse lamp.'
'He then goes into many minute details, describing how as
ny as six lamps were operated in his presence from a battery
ot cue dozen poles and cells."
» » * "Here we have no predictions as to what was to be done in the future such as we have
lately been favored with, but statements of what had been
accomplished and we may even say that in this case the final
itest of the pocket had been applied.
This light seems not to
have been extinguished, but we fear that some electric lights that
go into pockets may never come out again. This was twenty
years ago, and these promising experiments, as we all know,
reached no successful result.
I would by no means, however,
have it inferred that better success can never be attained. On
"the contrary, there are several very promising directions for
experiment, on one of which, no doubt, Mr. Edifon is at present
embarked; but the difierence between a promising line of experiment and a successful result all the world's history teaches us is
often a distance of many years, to say the least.

suit of the

made a
final decree, granting immediate possession.
The
Trustees of the Hartford Providence & Fishkill mortgage of
$2,000,000 accordingly transferred the property to the New York
& New England Road, and it is now operated by the company.
The 1500,000 mortgage bonds held by the City of Providence
have been paid by a payment into the city treasury; but it is said
that the bonds will not be surrendered till tlie pending suits as
first and second mortgages, and the lots mentioned in the supplemental deed of trust, shall be sold by Ezeklel W. Woodward,
Commissioner, as an entirety, at the east fr-mt door of the Court
House, in the city of Si. Louis, on the 20th December, 1878,
between the hoars of 12 and d o'clock. The purchaser to pay
down $30,000, gold, on striking off the same, and if not paid
within an hour the property to be put up and sold again.
TERMS OF SALE.
On confirmation of the sale by the Court, the purchaser is to
pay, first, the costs of the suit and the expenses of the sale; alio,
the outstanding debts, etc., as certified by the commissioner, that

in cash at tue confirmation of the sale; but if the purchaser la a
bondholder, he may turn in his first mortgage bonds at such rate
as their face value bears to the entire debt due on the first
mortgage, and pay the balance of the first mortgage bonda in
cash, at a similar rate. And if the purchaser be a bondholder
under the first mortgage, other bondholders may come in as Joint
purchasers on the same terms. If the bid amounts to more than
enough to pay the first mortgage, the balance goes toward the
payment of the second mortgage, and the purchaser may turn in
second mortgage bonds after paying the first mortgage bonds.
The Commissioner is to advertise the sale in a St. Louis paper,
and also in a New York paper, and is to report the proceedings
to the Court; and whatever he does is to be subject to the
approval of the Court.

that time will bring only 95 per cent, this would require
7. Such auiount as may be required to furnish the means for redemption of the Eistern and Middle Division bonds, maturing

and balance of interest, perhaps amounting to
assuming that the consolidated bonds will then

sell at par.
It will be observed that this scheme does not propose the issus
of a single bond for any purpose but to provide for the Denver
Extension bonds and liens prior thereto, with the exception of
the small amount that may be required in case of liability upon
the unstamped income bonds, and in exchange for the Leavenworth Branch bonds, if satisfactory terms shall be arrived at, and
for procurement of funds for the expenses of forecloeure and ro^
organization ; and that the greater part of the issue will have no
existence until 1896.
To insure a standing that will enable the company to
the large amount necessary in 1896, and also to at
sell
once place the new issue of 6 per cent bonds in high credit,
is
essential that a strong sinking fund be established
it
as soon as possible, in order that the company may profit
advantage of compounding interest for a long
by
the
term 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 therton to accumulate and be constantly invested in the
same bonds. Also, after the payment of $600,000 shall have
been made, a payment of f 50,000 shall be made every six months
to the sinking fund, if the earnings of the road are sufficient,
after paying interest upon the first mortgage debt, to be invested
in like manner.
The following estimate will show the probable accumulation
of this sinking fund
:
$600,000, with, say, an average of 15 years' compound interest
$100,000 annually for 13 years compound interest

sappcelng the bonds to be bought at par.
Whenever the sinking fund shall be sufBcient, with the subsequent accumulations of interest, to discharge the whole debt at
or before maturity, then no further payments shall be made to
the sinking fund.
The interest cherge upon the company will be no larger than
at present until 1896, being as follows

upon the Denver Extension bonds, now amounting to $1,795,178 18, and which will be increased by any furtlier delay in
payment of interrst, it is proposed to give Mortgage Income
Bonds, having forty years to run, entitle4 to 6 per cent per
annum, such interest '.o be cumulative, and no dividend to be
paid upon the stock until all arrearages of interest are paid upon
the income bonds. To create a sinSing fund, for the retirement
of income bonds, tlie Deliver Extension lands, with all contracts
of sale for the same, and all sums of money hereafter received
for account of sales of said lands, shall be mortgaged to trustees,

To compensate the Denver Extension bondholders for
the reduction in the rate of interest from 7 per cent to 6 per cent
per annum, and for the delay in the payment of interest upon
the income bonds, a suitable allotment of stock in the new company should be made to them.
Resolutions were adopted approving of the plan and continuing
the committee of three witli full powers to act in all matters
pertaining to the purchase and re-organization.

Montclalr & Greenwood Lake.--Thia road was finally sold
in foreclosure Oct. 12, and bought, as reported, in the interest of
New York Lake
Erie & Western Railway. The N. Y.
?Yw»e« gives the following version as furnished by a gentleman
"
familiar with the facts
The bargain was consummated at the
last moment, late on the afternoon previous to the sale.
No formal action had been taken by the officers of the Erie Company,
but it wag regarded as exceedingly important that the propertv
should not go into the hands of any rival corportation, as an
extension of the Montclair Road to Goshen would be several
miles shorter than the Erie route, and would seriously interfere
with the latter's local business to that point. Formalities were
therefore waived. The check of the company was given for the
:
[Vol XXVIl.
road in lieu of one that had previously been prepared by Mr Cyrusi
W. Field. The amount was $156,000. By the terms of the!
bargain, the company also purchased the following first mort-1
gage bonds at 50 per cent of their par value, with the 5 per cent*
paid-up assessment added: Cyrus SV. Field and his nephews
$175,000 Arthur W. Benson, $100,000
M. K. Jesup Paton &i
Co., $80,000; W. C. Sheldon, $20,000; Abram S. Hewitt, $70-1
This brought the total cost up to $450,000 and gave thel
000.
Erie Company the majority not only of the old bonds but also ol'
the proposed new issue. There is considerable ill-feeling amonj
the bondholders who were not admitted into the arrangement, anc'
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 whosp
*
*
*
«
interest they were supposed to be acting."
"To understand the situation more fully, it is necessary to know

Railroad
that the
only ran to Penhorn Creek, on thi'
other side of Bergen Hill. The Midland Railroad also terminatei
the
same
point.
Mr.
Tilden
near
and the other officers of thi
two roads were the fortunate owners of about a mile and a hal
of tracic known as the Hudson Extension, and they were the
Hudson Extension Company." * * * •' It is supposed that thi
Erie Company will extend the Montclalr track in a southerl'
direction across the marshes to its main line, and thence througi
Bergen tunnel to the Erie depot at Jersey City. This wil
require only a quarter of a mile of track, and will destroy thi
usefulness of tha Hudson Extension Company's line, except ei
far as the Midland Railroad is concerned.
It is estimated tba
fully one-third of the expenses of the Montclalr Road were fo
terminal iacilities, and this will, of course, be saved under thi
new management. The Erie Company also provide by the par
chase against any development antagonistic to their interest!
on t' e west. It is generally considered a good thing for then

"There is a question as to the value of the old second mortgag
bonds now. M'. Field thinks them good, and has paid tb
assesjiment on those he holds.
Mr. Hewitt, on the couTrary, sav
they are valueless. Mr. Tilden seems to be of a similar opiniot
to
lie has not paid the aesessment on his holdings.
The purchaf
ing committee have issued a circular to the bondholders
notifying them that the road has been bought in 'in thei
interest for $156,000; that re organization can be effected insid
that the new fecurities are being prepared to
of ihree weeks
delivery, and that the road has been paid for and the deed passe

N. T. & Oswego Midland. A meeting of representatives o
the holders of receiver's certificates and first mortgage bond
holders of the New York & Oswego Midland Railway Compan
was held this week. Out of the $1,352,555 of receiver's certif
cates issued, about $850,000 were represented at the meetinj
The first mortgage bondholders were represented by Mr. C. ^
Jordan and Mr. N. A. Cowdrey. The object of the meeting was
come to some arrangement between the holders of these respei
live liens.
Mr. Stevens suggested that the road should be put
thorough repair, and steel rails put down instead of the iron onei
Part of this expense could be met by the sale of a number (
engines that were unfit for service on the road. He submitted
condensed statement of earnings aud expenditures for the thre
years of his receivership. From this statement it appears tha
the excess of expenditures ovsr receipts in 1876 was $91,303 21
in 18J7, $12,026 21; and in 1878 (estimating for September
$2,071 13. Mr. Stevens also submitted a report showing th
total amount of certificates issued by the receivers to dat
as follows
$1.11,1'

In addition to the above, there are outstanding receivers' not''
given for supplies amounting to $120,000, and bills due whic
amount to about $50,000. The receiver also submitted a detaile
statement and analysis of the earnings and expenses of the roa
for 1877.
He estimated the gross earnings from January 1 t
Septeaiber 30, 1878, at $558,000, and the operating expenses fc
the same period at $518,000, leaving a surplus of about $40,00(
He stated that all surplus earnings had been expended
improvements on the property, wiiich, he said, was now in
much better condition than at any previous period of its existena
Mr. Stevens said that he thought that the future of the road di
not depend upon through business, which might be obtained b
connections or extensions, but upon the development of loa
i
traffic.
Mr. McDonald said the total indebtedness for rolling-stock an
was $1,767,892. Mr. Cowdrey said the first mortgac
bondholders were willing to concede to the holders of receiver
certificates a priority on the property of the road to the amoun
of its income to give them preferred stock that will entitle tbet
to the entire income of the road up to say 5 per cent.
Mr. Job
Davenport, of the First National Bank of Richmond, wh
represents perhaps the largest Interest of the certificate holder!
said tliat he was willing to effect a compromise on the basis of
per cent the first year, 3 per cent the second year, and so on unt
7 per cent was reached. Finally, the following resolution wa

Railroad Kates In Kngland knil (he Unltnd RIaUw.— At
the half. yearly meetlog of tbe (treat Weetero Killwar Company,
of England, receotly held in London, a reference was loede to
the passenger rate< on a portion of the lloea of that cnropany.
which shows that charges on many Amrrlcao railways are lower
than the corresponding charges oo Kngllsh linen, or, Indnwl, oa
tbe lines of any other exteoaive railway lyatmn In Ibe world.
The circular of Messrs. Satterlbwa'te Si Co. ouaameota ••
'* The
rates on the Great Western arn, therefore, Io
follows
American cnrrenCT, about ^\li for Brat. class aecommodatloDS, or
at tbe rate of about 'U^ cents per mile; for eeeoud-elaaa *rr)e*
$10, or at the rate of about 4 1-8 cents permile; and for ibird-elaM
accommodations, $7 35, or a llttld more than 3^ ceoM per mtla.
These charges are much hieher than those commonly impoeed
upon tbe railroads of the New Englan'l, Middle and Western
States, which h&ve a considerable paseenger tralHc. The conlraat
is especially striking Iwtween tbe cost ol travelling in AmericMt
sleeping or parlor cars, which undoubtedly furnish accommodations that are, in many respects, superior to those obtained by
the passengers who travel in the first-class English cars, at leas
than one-half the money demanded for travel in the flrtt-clasa
carriages of the Great Western but even the rates charged for
third-class passengers, of whom there were sixteen millions during the last half-year, are far above tbe average rates prevailing;
for the best accommndallons Am, railways a0brd. Thi Erie
Railway, for instance, iu Its last report to the New York State
Engineer, stated that the rate of tare for pasaengers charged for
the respective classes per mile Is as fo lows : For Brst-claa*
throun^h passengers, 1 49-100 cents; for first-class way passengers, 3 2-100 cents lor commutation passengers, 75-100 cents; for
emigrant through passengers, 1 71-100 cents,
" Tbe New York Central returns were as follows: For finitfor flratclasi way pascla=s through passengers, 1 87100 cents
sengers, 2 and 2 50 100 cents; for second-class through paasengers, 1 58100 cents for secoud-class way passengers, 2 cants; for
emigrant through passengers, 1 l'.2-100 cents ; for emigrant way
passengers, 1 25100c«nt«.
"The report of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, made to
tbe State of Pennsylvania for the year 1S78, gives the following
returns For first-class through passengers, 3 5-10 cents for firstclass way passengers. 3 cents; for second-class through passengers. 2 cents
for emigrant way passengers, 1 6 10 cents.
"The charges for carrying freight, per ton, between Philadelphia and Harrisburgb, a distance of 112 miles, nearly as great as
between Derby and London, are as follows: First class, $6;
second class, $5; ihird class, $4; fourth class, $3; which, it will
be seen, are much lower than the charge for the corresponding
service on tbe Midland road between London and Derby, even if
the •' small wares " spoken of are rated as first-class freight.
The contrast for carrying freight between competitive piints is
The rate per ton between Manchester
still more marked.
and I>ondon, a distance of 190 miles, allows the English
company a trifle more than 3i cents per ton per mile, and it is
only a very small proportion of the through or competitive business of American railways on which such rates are imposed.
The rates on first class freight from Pbiladelpbia to Pittsburg,
a distance of 385 miles, or nearly twice as great as the distance
between London and Manchester, are only $7 40 per ton, or less
than 20 per cent higher than the charge referred to as one which
makes an injurious discrimination against the town of Derby, for
transporting freight for 190 miles. In the west-bound competitive freight ssnt over the long distances between the Atlantic
seaboard cities and important western points, many instances
doubtless occur in which first-class gioJs are carri>d ten times
the distance between Derby and London for not more than double
the charge per ton made for conveying goods between these points.
The east-bound freight tarifl's, generally speakmg, are infinitely
lower than the charges fur west-bound services."

week more seasonable weather, frosts having
extended to Southern latitudes, and the air is clear and bracing,
yellow fever is consequently near an end in the Southwest, at
least so far as it has any commercial significance.
The disturbed condition of the money markets, at home and abroad, is
also much abated.
Thus most of the obstacles to mercantile
activity, which have been felt more or less, are removed.
But
prices of staples of agriculture have declined to such low figures
that the profits of growers are largely swept away, leaving them
without means to purchase goods to the extent they otherwise
would. Therefore the early promises of the autumn season are
not likely to be fully realized, and the prospects of the immediate future are less flattering.

Bacon has ruled dull, and Western long cl«ar sold to-day for
