any attempt has been made to augment the wealth of the

default has, of course, been a matter for discussion

during the week, but as yet nothing important has been done.
All the leading powers, except France, have made representations
to the Porte, but it is not possible to interfere in any other way.
It appears that France holds a very large supply of Turkish
bonds, perhaps as much as we do in this country. The higli rate
of interest has, of course, the great inducement to invest in them
but it is wearying to tell people that when they obtain large
returns the risk must in all cases be great. Of course, as long as
Turkey could raise fresh loans she could, in one sepse, pay her
way but it was plain that an end of borrowing must be even
tually reached, as the finances of the Empire could not possibly
bear the rapidly increasing strain. Undeveloped resource?, on
which the prospectuses of the Turkish loans have laid so much
stress, and on which persons interested in Turkish finance have
taken care to dilate, are not of much immediate value, more especially when it rested with indolent Turks to make them of any
actual value. If the government luid insuilicient energy lo carry
out a scheme of water works for Constantinople an undertaking
which possessed every element of success— it is not probable that
the numerous minor matters which, when combined, would add
materially to the revenue of the country, would engage much of

that their splendid steamers will
make weekly sailings between this port and Havre, on and after
the first Saturday in April, 1876. Heretofore the steamers of this
line have sailed semi monthly, but the popularity of the line during the past season has increased so greatly that weekly communication has become necessary. Should the splendid new pier,
now being built on the North River front, be completed before
next spring, the change will occur before the date announced. No
expense has been spared in rendering the steamships of this line
models of comfort and safety, and the high character and well
known ability of Mr. Louis De Bebian, the present efficient manager, who succeeds Mr. McKenzie as agent of the company, and
who was once himself the owner of a line of packets running
between New York and South American ports, is in itself a sufficient guaranty that the comfort of the patrons of the French line

that the faith of the United States is pledged to provide for the
of icteMst and principal of tlie 3.05 District bonds. If
tiie bonds have l>een sold to bona fide holders on the faith of the
U. S. Government, undur the provisions of a law which even
appeared to warrant the imposition of such a responsibility, the
fairest way now is for the government to assume the liability
squarely. The great fault is in paesinjj laws which admit of a
doubtful construction, and whic'i by a system of juggling can
first be made to mean one thing and then another, according to
the latest wishes and purposes of parties financially interested.
The Credit Mobilier and Pacific Mail transactions are jet fresh in
the public mind, as well as the dishonored guaranties of millions
of railroad bonds by Southern States, and the practice ot dona

carry over the company until another year, when, with an abundant harvest at the West and returning prosperity, they would be
able to make up for the falling off in earnings, for the past year,
and thereby carry out the terms of llieir lease, and meet all obligations.
The depreciation of their shares at the Exchange has
utterly destroyed their credit, and with their large floating debt,
the directors have been compelled to use all their net resources
for maturing bond interest and rentals.

St. Joscpll & Deurer City. In the agreements for purchasing

following

Manhattan Kailway (Rapid Transit).— Pursuant to a notice
given by the Commissiouers of liapid Transit, and in accordance
with chapter 006, laws of 1875, a book of subscription to the capital stock of the company to be incorporated and known as the
'• Manhattan Hallway Company" was opened Friday
morning in
the Corn Exchange Bank, No. 13 William street. The amount of
capital stock ia fixed at $3,0C0,000, divided in twenty thousand
shares of $100 each.
In a short time all the stock was subscribed for, and, as required
by the statute, five per cent of the whole amount, or $100,000, was
subscribed in cash. This sum was deposited in the Corn Exchange
Bank, to the credit of C. J. Canda, as treasurer of the commission.
The list of subscribers includes twenty-six names, among which
are those of David Dows, John F. Tracy, Wm. S. Scott, Jose F.
Navarro, Francis H. Tows, Milton Courtwrigbt, Alexander E. Orr
and Mr. Sotolongo.

" Tliat instead of a piv rata cash assessment npon the subscribing bondlioldcrs for the amount of said necessary expenses of foreclosure sale and re-organization, together with the ta.\e8 accrued, trustees' fees, expenses of purchasing
committee, and any other sum or amount provided for by the decree of sale,
to l)e paid in cash, such sum shall be made a preferred claim upon tlie jiroperty
of the rc-orgariizod company, if tlic same be purchased and re-organized under
the terms of the foregoing agreements, and this mudilication of the same, and
the Slid purchasing committee is liereby authorized to cause the new first
mortgage or deed of Irus' to provide for the securing the preference of so many
of the Ijonds, commencing with No. 1, to be issued thereunder, as will represent the aforesaid amount at not I'-ss than ninety per cent of the par value of
the said preferred bonds, and to issue the same to provide the money for the
said purposes, the promiit payment of said preference bonds to bo secured, it
deemed necessary, by a sinliing fund."

The agents of the European bondSt. Louis & Southeastern.
holders, Wertheim & Gompertz and J. W. Oewel, of Amsterdam,
in an address to the bondholders, express dissatisfaction with the
company's proposals, and think them unacceptable tor holders of
bonds secured on the Illinois and Indiana lines. They say
" The company offers as a maximum for a period of 6} years to
pay in cash $237 50 per $1,000, equal to half of the accruing interest, from May I, 1874, to November 1, 1880, in case it shall be
in position to earn this amount b-it should this not be the case,
however, then the bondholders must wait longer. This proposition of itself is already very disadvantageous to the holders of
first mortgage bonds of the Illinois and Indiana divisions, because
already, in very bad times, enough is earned to meet the above
payments, and it is further wholly unacceptable, because it is
coupled with the requirement that the bondholders shall convert
the unpaid half of their coupons for OJ years, or $237 50 per
$1,000 bond, into a kind of debenture of very doubtful value,
even in the distant futuie. This is a treatment of the rights and
demands of the first mortgage bondholders which cannot be suffered the chances of a better future belong first to them."
To show that the propositions were too favorable to the Kentucky and Tennessee sections, they submit the receiver's report of
receipts and expenses for the eight months ending with June
last, as follows:

Vermont Central.— The $700,000 equipment bonds issued by
the trustees in 1865 become due Nov. 1. The Chancery Court
some time ago made an order authorizing the exchange of these
bonds at par for those of the $3,500,000 income and extension
bonds of 1873, a sufficient amount of the latter being reserved to
make the exchange. Notice is now given by the Treasurer of the
Central Vermont Company that the bonds can be exchanged at the
Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Company's office in Boston, where
the npw bonds have been deposited.
