A
little reflection shows that this could not be otherwise;
for if nobody fulfilled any obligation which he could
evade, or respected any undertaking which could not be
proved upon him in a court, and if no creditor could
get bis pay until he took it at law out of the debtor's
property, the social system would be disrupted.
This trust is sometimes mistaken, but rarely; even
among the stock speculators who are reckoned a loose
and conscienceless class by the general public to be
unfaithful to an obligation, even to hasty and unrecorded
ones, is a rare occurrence. Trust is too easy in some
•way it ought to be made slower, more restricted and
safer; all this we have often urged.
But it is neither
just nor wise, when a mishap occurs and trust is
betrayed, to sweepingly condemn as especially careless
what ordinarily meets general acquiescence.

a receiver's hands since November 17 last, Mr. Daniel
Torrance, its former President, and Mr. John King,
Vice-President of the Baltimore & Ohio, being then
appointed receivers; and as the former was afterwards

[From oar own correspondentl
London. Saturday, Oct. 13, 1877.
The more prominent feature to be referred to this week is the
advance in the Bank rate of discount to 5 per cent. The change)

that he is giving to the Baltimore & Ohio a disproportionate share of the earnings, and others only fearing
that he will or may do so hereafter.
But the question
of management is not the one at issue and may be
waived. The New York men say that they desire and
demand a representation on the Board, to which their
possession of voting power entitled them, and went to
Cincinnati to get it, but were cheated out of it. If

was delusive, and thart the increase was due to the investments of the idle money held by the
Bank in, say, the preference and debenture stocks of British and
Indian railway companies, and which are now being realized.
Ouly in this way can this week's decrease in "other securities" be>
accounted for, and we are led to the conclusion that the state of
item of "other securities" at the Bank of England cannot be
relied upon as a guide to the state of our commerce.
The Bank has lost this week a sum in gold amounting to £692,882, but as there has been a falling off of £403,984 in the circulation of notes and bank post bills, the total reduction in the

The proportion
however, amounts to only 35'49 per cent, against 3711
per cent last week, and 54'51 per cent last year. It is evident
that the position of the Bank has receded to a point which requires careful observation ; but as we may be sure that the
directors of the Bank will advance their rates of discount rapidly
in order to protect their position, the buyers of gold for exportation may be expected to exercise some additional caution, and
limit their purchases materially.
In addition to this renewal of
a cautious policy, the present rate of discount should attract
supplies of gold from several quarters, and it is hoped, therefore, that before long a steady improvement in the position of the

quarters, against 253,500 quarters.

markets reach a total of 287,093 quarters,
against 349,022 quarters, while In the whole Kingdom it is computed that they have been 1,148,500 quarters, against 1,390,100

mortgage lien upon 75 miles of completed and equipped road,
and are issued at the extremely low rate of $4,200 per mile.
Tne branch roads upon which these bonds are secured are re-

ported to earn net over all expenses nearly twice the amount required to pay the interest. The Messrs. Brown have sold during the
past three months upwards of three-quarters of the entire issue.
At the issue price the bonds pay 8 per cent interest.

entitled " The Best Measure of Value," which is a re-

United States Bonds
The principal feature in government
bond dealings this week was the considerable demand for small
denominations from investors who have apparently been depositors in savings banks.
The, inquiry for these bonds has recently
been so marked as to cause quite a scarcity in the small $50 and
issues.
In
view
of
the fact that government securities are
$100
already issued in sizes as small as $50, it seems unnecessary in
this respect for the government to create a new issue of bonds,
in $25 pieces and upwards, for popular investment.
There has
been quite an amount of bonds coming back from London this
week, among wliich were a good many of the 4J per cents.

Orleans that the proposal of a foreign syndicate to loan the State
5 per cent bonds, with the proceeds of which the outstanding 7
per cent consols should be paid off, cannot be accepted, as there
is no constitutional authority for doing so. Virginia bonds are dull
and will be so until after the State election is over. Alabama

stated the Delaware & Hudson Canal new mortgage bonds had
been taken by a few gentlemen who were friends of the company,
and it is now said that the Delaware Lackawanna & Western mortgage bonds will shortly be issued. As the latter company will
have only this $10,000,000 of mortgage debt outstanding on its

through freight cannot fail to have a good effect on them all.

essentially new feature in the market, and notwithstanding the
recent fluctuations and apparent retrogade steps last week in the
bull movement, there seems to be a pretty strong undertone based
on the support of the heavy operators who have carried prices
up to their present figures. As we remarked in our last, the
earnings of dividends by the leading trunk-line roads would
seem to be a foregone conclusion, if we may assume that the
present or higher rates for transportation will be maintained.
But on this latter point there is naturally a good deal of uncertainty, and the outside public is somewhat incredulous as to a
lasting agreement among railroad managers, after the numerous
" wars" and difficulties of the past few years.

assembled and met the commission at the council chamber.
Mayor Kemper presided, and made a statement to the effect that
the assessed value of the real property, public and private, in
the city was little in excess of $4,000,000. The taxeB in a considerable part of the town were in excess of the rents, and under
these circumstances the city had determined to ask a compromise
of the debt at fifty cents on the dollar, giving ample security for
regular and prompt payment of interest on the scaled debt. The
bondholders, by a vote of 89 to 57, declined 50 cents, but offered
to compromise at 66 2 3 cents, which the city commissioners declined.
Auditor Brockett anneunced that $300,000 of stock had

been negotiated by placing the bonds of the road as collateral
security in the proportion of five to seven. That is, for every
five thousand dollars borrowed, seven thousand dollars' worth of
bonds at the par value are to be given.
Cincinnati Sandusky & Cleveland. A meeting of the second
mortgage bondholders of this much-fought-over road was held in
BoBton last week. Receiver Farlow explained the condition of
the property.
The mortgages which they were then considering
amounted to $1,100,000. Under the capitalization scheme, the
first mortgage bondholders cut off the coupons from their 7 per cent
bonds, and accepted a new issue of 6 per cent bonds running
until the year 1900.
The second mortgage bondholders relinquished 60 per cent of their claims and the back coupons, and
accepted therefor 40 per cent in preferred stock. The floating
debt of the company now amounts to $400,000, to the payment of
which they have all the real estate which they recovered from

An " ex-director" publishes a statement in favor of the Garrett
party, in which he makes in substance the following points:
THE CHRONICLE.
408
Messrs. Garrett are the largest holders of the second mort& Mississippi Railroad, and also by far
the largest stockholders in the company.
2. It is well known in Wall street that transfers of non-dividend-paying stocks are infrequent, and in cases similar to the
present, in which the transfer-books have been closed for upwards of thirteen months, the registry affords no clue whatever
as to who the bona fide holders may be.
3. Prior to his departure for Cincinnati, Mr. Robert Garrett had
full assurance from the authorized representative of the bondholders of the Springfield division of his support, which com
prised the proxies on bonds and stock to the amount of $5,000,000. In addition to this Mr. Garrett and his immediate friends
controlled proxies to a like extent, and, being informed that the
opposition party possessed only $11,000,000 of proxies, he also
On
took certificates for about 27,000 shares of common stock.
arriving at Cincinnati, Mr. Garrett was informed by the aforesaid
representative that his votes would be cast for the opposition,
and Mr. Garrett was compelled to have recourse to those legal
rights.to which by virtue of the possession of his certificates of
stock he was entitled. It would be interesting to know how
much money has been collected under the resolution authorizing
an assessment of 15 cents on each 100 shares of stock represented
at this meeting, and also what disposition has been made of such
funds but it is reasonable to assert that the entire board of opposition directors, barring Mr. Bloodgood. do not own or represent $1,000,000 of the stock and bonds of the company, while on
the other hand, Mr Garrett asserts his ability to produce upwards
of $10,000,000 of its securities, should an event similar to the late
election require it. The absurdity of the accusation that he is
" robbing" a property in which he is so largely interested is too
manifest to require demonstration, and it will readily be seen
that the so-called " representation" of $11,000,000 of the capital
of the road by the opposition is a misnomer, and calculated only
to deceive, these proxies having been obtained in a large majority
of instances from holders of record but not of fact.

there. The movement of Western and Southern crops is now
very large, at fair prices, and the money paid for them has
Already begun to find its way back to monetary centres.
The chief feature in t'ae market for provisions in the past week
is the improved demand for mess pork, several hundred barrels

convention "That it is desirable some mode of inspection or
supervision should be established of cotton on arrival at Liverpool, a small impost being levied upon each bale to defray the
cost of such an arrangement, and that a committee be appointed
to further this proposal, and to consider the proper jerking of
ships, the weighing of cotton on the wharves, and other kindred
"That the different exchanges represented in this
subjects."
convention be requested to obtain legislation in their respective
countries, so far as it does not already exist, to hold masters of
vessels liable for delivery of cargoes in a different condition from
that acknowledged by their signatures on the bills of lading,
accompanied by the inspector's certificate of condition."
The consideration of the recommendation that cotton be sold
at net cash price, without the present deduction of li per cent,
was postponed by the conference, in deference to the wishes of
buyers of cotton, who demanded the discount as an old usage,
and stated that its abolition would be considered a grievance,
particularly in the present bad state of trade in Manchester.
The recommendation that when cotton is sold on the spot, payment shall be by cash, before delivery, if required, was not confirmed by the conference it was represented that the practical
working of such an option would be to introduce cash payments
before delivery this would cause considerable inconvenience to
buyers, and would necessitate a large increase in the working
capital of the trade, which its present condition would not afford.
The failures among trade buyers of cotton being very few, compared with the magnitude of the business, it was felt that it was
not at present necessary to introduce such a great change in the
terms of payment.
The committee of the Cotton Brokers' Association, which is
considering the system of dealing in " futures," not having
yet made its report, the conference was unable to enter upou the
consideration of this Bubject.
The recommendation of the convention " That contracts for
cotton bought and sold for shipment or delivery should be for
the delivery of one hundred bales of 43,200 pounds weight, this
weight to be made up to the nearest bale," was confirmed by the
conference, and the committee of the Cotton Brokers' Association
was requested to give effect to it this season.
The arguments in favor of an alteration in the existing rule
were briefly as follows: 1, That under it sellers could deliver
bales of any weight, and frequently regulated their deliveries
according as their contract was a profitable or a losing one. 2.
Thtt buyers, having no certainty what weight of cotton may be
tendered to them, are unable to arrange their finances. 3. That
in a filling market buyers are almost sure of receiving a large
excess in weight, which they can only resell at a considerable
PHILADELP'lA
:
;
;
sacrifice.
The adoption
of the recommendation of the convention was
advocated, because (a; it defines the contract between the buyer
and seller, and limits the possible variation from the quantity
contracted for to half a bale, or i per cent; (6) it will facilitate
the operations of the merchant and enable the spinner to cover
his sales of yarn, which are made in pounds weight, by the purchase of the exact weight of cotton required for that purpose;
(e) it will prevent contracts being manipulated.
The Cotton Brokers' Association have not yet given effect to
this resolution, but I feel confident that they will very shortly
do so, as it appears to be the unanimous wish of importers of
cotton, and it is obviously to the advantage of the trade, that the
proposed change should be carried out.
The Cotton Brokers' Association have adopted the recommendation of the convention that the official quotation of low middling
and good ordinary be given daily.
I have received a communication from the President of the
National Cotton Exchange of America, stating that the recommendations of the convention in reference to country damage,
and the inspection of cotton before shipment, have been duly forwarded to the various constituent exchanges.
The Exports of Cotton from New
York, this week, show an

Cloakings continued fairly active, but repellents moved slowly.
Jeans and satinets were lightly dealt in. Black clo;hs and doeBkins were taken in small lots to a limited amount. Flannels met
with a fair distribution, by means of numerous small transactions,
but blankets remained sluggish. Woolen and worsted dress
goods were less active, and there was only a moderate movement
in felt and Balmoral skirls, shawls and woolen hosiery.
Foreign Dry Goods have been quiet in first hands and the
jobbing trade waB light and unimportant. Messrs. Opdycke,
Terry & Steele (who are about retiring from buaines) disposed
of their entire stock of white goods and notions to one of the
large Broadway jobbers.
Black cashmeres were in good demand
and ruled steady in price, but other descriptions of dress goods
moved slowly. Silks were quiet, but trimming velvets were in
steady request and firm. Linen goods continued quiet, and white
goods, laces and embroideries were only in limited demand.
Men'a-wear woolens remained quiet with importers and jobbers.

Domestic Woolen Goods. Men's- wear woolens have been
quiet in first hands, and jobber's sales were not so large as could
he desired, owing, perhaps, to the continuance of unseasonably
warm weather. Heavy cassimeres and suitings were taken in
small lots, and heavy worsteds were in less active demand.
Elysians and rough makes of overcoatings were in limited request by jobbers and cloak manufacturers, and all-wool heavers
were in moderate demand, but cotton-warp-beavers ruled quiet.

be carrying exceptionally light stocks of cloths. Prints were

Values of cotton goods were steadily maintained,
except on outside makes of bleached shirtings, which were somewhat irregular. Brown sheetings were in fair request by jobbers
and converters, and the supply of leading makes is by no means
excessive. Colored cottons were in moderate request and steady,
and grain bags continued in good demand. Print cloths were
