South has been going on with some rapidity. As to
the former circumstance, the movement of Centennial
travel has, no doubt, seme influence in stimulating the
demand for currency, many millions being now probably
locked up in the pockets of the people over and above
the aggregate of three or four months ago. Allowance
must also be made for the fact, that at this period of the
year there is always a demand upon the great centres of
our banking system for currency and deposits, which are
the flow of currency from this city to the

month by this rapid flow of greenbacks to the interior,
and by the consequent fall in the greenback averages
reported weekly by the Clearing House. It is well
known that the greenback aggregates reach their highest
point in the Summer, while about the beginning of September the tide sets OHtward, and the greenback level
sinks until November, when a reverse current sets in,
which is in its turn arrested for a brief period at the end
of the year.
This drain is now going on in our banks,

this large sum is accumulated and held partly because of
the uncertainty which hangs over the monetary future
of the great commercial nations of the world. Although
some of the causes for apprehension which exist in
Europe are happily absent here, yet we have in our
financial system fruitful sources of possible trouble, and
each of them gives new force to the arguments which

Tbe money market and Financial Situation. The week
has been quiet in financial matters, and the approaching elections
and diminished prospects of an immediate war in Europe have
furnished the main topics for discussion. The Cotton and Produce Exchanges adjourned over one day, to allow their members
to go to the Centennial, and this contributed in some degree to
make a quiet business week in other department!!. The absorb
Ing question of tlie moment is in regard to the probable result
of the Presidential election which takes place on Tuesday, Nov,
7, and taking a strictly non-partisan view of the matter, it maybe fairly said that the majority of conservative and rational
business men have much confidence that either of the Presidential candidates, if elected, will do his utmost to protect the fiivaa-

—The

stock market
lias been strong for the trunk railroads. Western Union Tele-

graph and Hannibal & St. Joseph. St. Paul has been notably
weak, and Northwest also weak, but to a less degree. The coal
stocks close considerably below last week's prices, though above
tke lowest point of this week. The principal operations have
centred around the confidently asserted reports that an advance
be made in east-bound freights over'the trunk-line railroads.
A meeting of the representatives of Canada lines, Michigan Central and Lake Shore was held on Thursday, at which, as reported, it was agreed "that an advance should be made at an
early day." To day, a conference of railroad managers was in
session at the Grand Central depot, at which there were present
William H. Vanderbilt, Mr. Bliss of the Boston & Albany, Mr.
Hickson of the Grank Trunk, and Mr. Newell of the Lake Shore.
These represent only the connections of the New York Central
road, and neither the Erie, the Baliiiiiore & Ohio nor the Pennsylvania lines were repre.sented. This is ihe only information
about the matter, ns reported in the last edition of the Post. Ilis to

Hence, while the gross earnings for the year are £62,483 less

been reduced by £131,433 and instead of a cash deficit on the
year of £61,415, there is a surplus ot £37,175, showing an im

impairing the efHtieucy of the railway, or Its equipment, which
have never been in better condition than at the prsseut time.

LKASED LINES.
The working of the leased lines during the half-year has
involved a loss (including a net transfer of £1,633 to the rail and
bridge renewal fund) of £8,366. This is £11,623 less than in the
corresponding half-year of 1875, when the loss amounted to
£19,988. The loss in working the Wellington, Grey, and Bruce
alone amounts to £11,260, the charge for maintaining the line
being still excessive but as the defects in its original construction are remedied, better results are anticipated. The traffic ot
the London, Huron, and Bruce railway, the construction of which
was undertaken by the present board under special circumstances,
is being gradually developed.

Under the provisions of the "Great Western Railway Act,
1876" (which was printed in extenso with the last half-year's
report) and in conformity with the resolution of the general meeting on April 28, 1876, tue revenue overdraft to July Slst last, and
the amount at which the revenue assets are estimated to be over
valued, will, in the current half-year, be written ofT to capital
account. The revenue overdraft stands at £209,433 and the over
valuation of assets will be about £65,000. The Act and the Resolution of the Shareholders empower, if necessary, a further sum
of about £25,000 (making £300,000 in all) beinir written off on
account of any deficiency during the current half-year but the

Central of Iowa. The receiver, Mr. J. B. Orinnell.has filed
his report of the Central Railroad of Iowa, for the eight montba
ending Sept. 30, 1S76. He found the road-bed in a uilapidated
and dangerbus condition, and at once proceeded to repair the
same. The expenses have been reduced, and a saving secarMi
for the year of over $40,000.
Over 100,000 ties have been parchased and placed in the track. There has been an increase of
business of $18,992 over the corresponding eight months of laat
year.
Freight tonnage has increased 3,000 cars ; yet the conformity to the tariff law of the East-and-West roads compelled
an adjustment of rates, by which the earnings on this road were
lessened more than $30,000, and the gross freight receipts reduced
$9,000 below those of the same period last year. The Chief
Engineer expended $182,574 during the eight months.
Simultaneously almost with this
The Chicago Tribune a&ys
report came a petition to the Court from certain bondholders,
setting forth that they had, at a meeting, selected a new trustee
in place of the Loan & Trust Company, appointed by the Court ;
and also setting forth charges against the Receiver, Mr. Qrinnell,
charging him with mismanagement and squandering the funda of
the road, and asking his removal. The matter was presented by
able counsel. The Court, Judge Dillon, emphatically informed
the bondholders that they had bo authority to select a trustee,
and that their acts were void, unless by authority of the Court.
As to the Receiver, he refused to ask him to make answer, as the
Court was fully satisfied with his management of the road. Mr.
Grinnell, however, being present in court, asked the privilege to
explain, which the Court granted and, in a very concise statement, he showed that the road was in much better condition than
when he took it. When a Receiver was appointed there was a
strife among the bondholders to secure the appointment of a man
of their choice. Judge Dillon took the matter in his own bands,
and, without the knowledge of anybody, appointed Mr. Grinnell
and that's what's the matter with the bondholders.

Logansport CrawfordsTille & Sontliwestcrii. Mr. C. W.

by the great number of small claims presented, all of which have
to be examined. Mr. Hassler has deposited with lae Court $762,000 out of $1,500,000 bonds, and controls $200,000 more, but is
opposed by a small party among the bondholders.
Pacific of HisSOliri.— In the United States Circuit Court, at
St. Louis, an application was made by a stockholder of the Pacific
load to be permitted to delay a consummation of the recent sale,
by filing an application for a bill ordering the Master in Chancery to review the entire proceedings which resulted in the decree
ordering the sale. After argument. Judge Treat overruled the
application. In doing so, he said that this was only another
attempt on the part of the stockholders to intervene and disturb
the judgment of the court. The petition, as presented, was in its
main features similar to that of a bill on which Judge Dillon had
passed judgment while the case was in progress. Finally, on
the 23d, the court made an order that upon the payment of $50,000 cash, and the execution of a property secured by bond for
$550,000, the Missouri Pacific Railroad will be turned over to
James Baker, trustees for Cornelius E. Qarrison, and that a deed
lor the property be given to him by L. D. Thompson, Master Jn
Cliancery.
Articles of association have been filed in the office of the Secretary of State by the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company. The
capital stock is $3,000,000. The incorporators are
Commodore
C. K. Qarrison. X>. R. Mangum and W. R. Garrison, of New York
City, and Web. M. Samuel, and D. K. Ferguson, of St. Louis. The
directors are C, K. Garrison, D. R. Mangam, Mortimer Ward, W.
R. Garrison, Russell Sage, A. B. Stout and John P. Kennedy, of
New York City; A. M. Billings, of Chicago; Daniel R. Garrison,
Oliver Garrison, Web. M.' Samuel, D. K. Ferguson, St. Louis, and
Joseph W. Stephens, Boonville. The St. Louis Republican says,
after the order was made turning over the property to the purchasers, " a meeting of the stockholders of the Missourf Pacific
Railroad was held in the afternoon. The first action was to
change the name from the Pacific Railroad, the deoignation under
which it is legally known, to the Missouri Pacific Railroad, The
subscription books were opened, and all the stock amounting to
$800,000 was subscribed, and the subscription book was then
closed. The stock will be paid in full at 100 cents on the dollar.
Bonds for four and a half million dollars were ordsre d to be
issued, to be called the third mortgage bonds, the proceeds of
which are to be applied to taking up of the bonds under which
the road was sold and to use in making settlements. The stockholders then ordered the President, in behalf of and for the new
corporation, to purchase the road from James Raker, the purchaser at the late public sale.
" The new board of directors then met, a quorum being present,
»nd, after forming a legal corporate body, they unanimously
elected Commodore C. K. Garrison, of New York, President."
" By-laws of both the stockholders and board of directors were
adopted.
" The property of the road to a very great extent will be
turned over to ihe new corporation in a few days, the recivers
remaining in char,a;e till the fiscal business of the old board is
closed under the order of the court, which will take from sixty to
ninety days. Oliver Garrison and Col. J. L. Stephens, the
receivers, being among the directors, the pol cy of the road in all
probability will be continued to some extent under the new
management. There will additions bo made of locomotives and
cars to meet the increase of business, and the sum of $90,000 will
be expended for new steel rails within the next three months to
repair the track.

has given general interest to the question. What debts

eighth federal circuit, acted upon the principle that debts contracted by railway companies in such cases within six months of
the commencement of foreclosure proceedings should be paid, in

that no such principle has been adopted. Indeed, it is difficult
to see how it coald be adopted, ia view of the principles laid down
in the case of the Galveston Railroad vi. Cowdrey, 11 Wallace,
In that case, thu Supreme Court of the United Statea, in
459.
the absence of a statutory lien law applicable to the contract
in question, denied prior payment to a contractor who had furnished iron which actually went into the road, and distinctly
enunciated the principle that the rule qui prior est in tempore,
potior est in ure is applicable to such cases.
It is true that in
the case of Kutchum ts. the Pacific Railroad and Littlefield xii.
the Atlantic & Pacific Railroid, now pending in the United
States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, and
also, as we are informed, in other suits to foreclose railway mortgages which have arisen in the eighth federal
circuit, claims for supplies and for wages have been allowed
priority of payment but this has only been done by consent of
all the parties in interest.
It is easy to see that the establishment of a rule giving priority to such claims, as a matter of law,
would seriously impair the security of railway mortgages. This
novel species of lien has been called by some an " equitable
lien," and by others it has been facetiously denominated an
" admiralty lien on wheels." Such a lien or priority was declared to exist by a 7it>jpn«« judge at Richmond, Va.. in the case
of Duncan et al. v. Trustees, etc. Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
and also by the Court of Appeals of Kentucky in
ante, p. 579
the case of Douglas et al. v. Cline. In the latter case Cofer, J.,
dissented in an opinion of great length. These cases both
related to the wages due the regular employees of the defendant
railway company. In the former case, these wages accrued
entirely after default of the railway company in paying the interest due on its bDnded indebtedness and in the latter case, most
of the wages accrued after a similar default had been made.

demands to be obliterated by the foreclosure proceedings. The
Virginia court placed its decision upon the ground that the
employees, in continuing in service after such default, and after
the beneficiaries under the mortgage had acquired the right to
enter and take possession of the property and operate it for themselves, became, in effect, tenants at will of the bondholders. The
Kentucky court declared that the case was one within the operation of the rule that he who seeks equity must do equity. The
mortgagees had the power under the mortgage to enter upon the
property after default by their trustees, and use, operate, or sell
But instead of
it for the purpose ot satisfying their demands.
doing this, they had asked a court of equity to exercise the extraordinary power of taking the mortgaged property, pendente lite,
out of the hands of its owners, and operating it for their benefit.
In doing this they submitted to the power of the court to do
equity by ordering payment to be made out of net earnings which
had accrued in the hands of the receivers to the officers and employees of the defaulting corporation.
In the case ot Ketchum vs. The Pacific Railroad, above referred
to, an attempt was recently made to mafee an interesting applicaThe Atlantic & Pacific

and •' through " tickets. This company intervened in the suit
named, and asked payment in preference to the bondholders, on
the ground that the claim was similar in its nature to the claims
of employees for their wages, and also on the ground that the
proportion of freight and passage money earned by the petitioning railway company under the contracts in question had been
collected in advance by the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company,
and was in the nature of a trust fund held by the latter company
for the benefit of the former, which fund, on the appointment of
the receivers, passed into their hands charged with the trust. The
case was argued before a master by the Hon. Willard P. Hall on

State of Minnesota and the company.

The market for cotton on the spot opened the week quite dull,
and on Saturday quotations for low middling grades and below
were reduced l-16c.. ts 8 15-lGc. for ordinary, while the better
grades remained uochanged at lOJc. for middling uplands. It
was not until Wednesday that any considerable activity was

when

reported,

the business, including that of the previous

evening, amounted to 4,551 bales, of which 3,303 were for export,
1,416 for speculation, and the remainder for consumption, with a
a general advance of 1-lOc. in qnotations. To-day, there was a

good business

and prices were further advanced

for export,

l-16c.,

to lie. for middling uplands.

For future

delivery, the speculation

opened slow, but there

was

a gradual hardening of prices from Monday till the close of
Wednesday's business. The smaller receipts at the ports (compared with last year), reported on Monday and Tuesday, the more
peaceful reports from the Continent, the stronger and more active
market at Liverpool, all contributed to an advance and a larger
business. There was no market on Thursday, the Exchange
being closed. Today, the opening was weak, in sympathy with
the close at Liverpool, and liirge receipts at the ports contributed
to the depression, but prices fully recovered to Wednesday's
figures at the close, with a general, though not active, business.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Fbidat. F. M.. Oct.

27, 1876.

Business during the past week has been quiet with manufacturers' agents, importers,

and jobbers

alike.

There were com-

paratively few buyers on the market and their operations were in

accordarce with the limited wants of current trade. The
weather has not been cold enough to beget a consumptive
demand for winter fabrics, and neither jobbers nor retailers have
yet distributed their early purchases, which combined with the
strict

—

—

impending Prefidential election accounts for the present lull in
business. There has been a break in the print and print cloth
markets, but lower prices failed to stimulate the demand to any
great extent, and had a disturbing influence upon other goods.
Foreign goods have been very quiet, and when offered at public
sale even the most staple dress fabrics brought low and unremunerative prices, and fancy textures sold for much less than
the cost of importation.

—

Domestic Cotton Goods The export demand for domestics
has been comparatively light, especially from Great Britain, to
which country only 23 packages were shipped during the week.
The total shipments were 911 packages, of which 209 packages
were sent to Mexico, 196 to New Grenada, 189 to Ilayti, 1.54 to
Germany, 46 to British West IndieB, and the remainder in smaller

have advanced considerably new Western going at 78@83c., aud

Cashmeres were less active, and merinos are to some extent taking
their place in colored goods. Black cashmeres and drap d'ete
were sold in considerable amounts at auction, but realized low
prices. Linen goods were dull and steady, and white goods,
laces and embroideries moved slowly.
Men's wear woolens continued inactive and are selling low. Millinery silks, velvets and
ribbons were freely offered at public sale and prices were barely
maintained.

the season. Cassimeres were taken in small lots, and some fair
orders were received for cotton warp worsteds from the clothing
trade. Overcoatings ruled quiet in flrst hands, but were jobbed
in fair quantities. Cloths and doeskins ruled very quiet and
satinets were in light request.
Kentucky jeans were a shade
moie active in medium and fine grades, but low qualities were
almost neglected. Worsted dress goods were in steady demand,
and staple fabrics are firmly held and in light supply. Woolen
shawls were quiet, but beaver and velvet makes continued in fair
request.
Felt skirts were moderately active, but Balmoral
makes were rather quiet. Fancy hosiery and Germantown knit
