The due to this cause has no doubt aug¬ produced this week by the suspension of the New York Warehouse and Security Company. This moneyed corporation has always stood well here. It was established some years ago to make advances on grain and produce shipped to this port. Its notes were in the highest credit. As long us its managers were content to make money slowly by their legitimate business they did well. But in an evil hour they were tempted. Large com¬ The pressure mented the excitement stability of our financial machinery has again been tested by a very severe strain.

We do not refer, however, to this failure just now except afforded by the shipment of greenbacks to the interior. If general movements of the money market. But for the general sensitiveness, this cause would have produced but little impression. The same may be said of another failure, that of the gold clique, who have been losing ground for several weeks past. They were befleved to have 30 millions of gold, of which they have probably sold 20 millions during the last fortnight. The remain ing ten millions they probably still retain in hopes to retrieve therewith their fallen fortunes. The losses sus tained by these speculators must have been very great.

First, the value of gold must be at par in the market; and secondly, the complicated machinery of ojr banking and financial system must bo adjusted to this new arrangement of values.

Here resumption must inevitably change to suit a real or supposed public necessity as soon as it became sufficiently imperative and galling to the popular will. as From the course of public opinion to which we are adverting several deductions may safely be inferred.

Thirdly, all predictions as to the time at which resumption will be possible are futile, except we have some guarantee against further dilution of the currency. As the first decline of our currency from the level of specie started from the law of February 18G2, and grew with the excessive issues of irredeemable paper money introduced by that statute, so every returning movement of our currency toward that level requires as its fundamental condition a contraction of the surplus volume of redundant issues. Lasily, we must infer-that the recent fall in gold, gratifying as it may be in other aspects, offers less evidence than has been supposed of the early approach of specie payments. gap between currency RAILROAD EARNINGS IN AUG,, AND the grain traffic of the West, and the trans¬ portation of goods preparatory to Fall trade, and the earnings being the an therefore, observed with some interest, as indication not only of railroad prosperity, but of are, relatively as Autumn months as In the tables which follow there 93,420 1,258,500 1,271,629 . 748,634 Indianapolis, Bloomingt’n & W.. 156,973 328,188 Kansas Pacific Lake Shore & Mich.

In the figures which follow, the total delivered overland will be found to have been 402,296 seen bales, against a total last year of 342,186 bales; but there has larger movement to New York this year, and there is also a considerable deduction for railroad shipments North from Mobile and New Orleans, which had been once counted at those ports. Hence the direct receipts by the mills are only 19,435 bales in excess of the statement of last September. Each year the making up of the overland movement calls for increased labor and care. This arises from the multiplication of the avenues, and changes in them, by which the crop is dis¬ tributed. During late years it seems as if but a few months only elapsed between the conception of a new railroad and its completion, while new connections are being constantly formed been a which affect the’-movement of cotton. Not in all cases, of do these roads become cotton avenues, and yet with most them, even where we believe they have carried no cotton, we are required to obtain a return so as to be sure that nothing escapes us. We take this occasion to express our thanks for the course, of kind assistance which we have received from all the companies, enabling us to present our work with so much confidence in its completeness. For the satisfaction of our readers we may also mention that, as an additional precaution against error this year, we have had made up for us returns from a weekly record of shipments over these roads kept at the place of shipment, in addition to the return at the end of the year from the road itself. To indicato^liis overland movement, we have found it necessary to prepare a new diagram of the Mississippi, Ohio and Potomac Rivers, for the purpose of adding the railroads running north and east, which have been completed during the year : A B C D E F G H Mo., Kan & Texas RR. connection.

THE 344 To attain this end, therefore, we have used the simplest method possible, plain to everyone, based upon the obvious fact that no cotton can reach the North by railroad from the South except by passing up or across the Mississippi, Ohio, or Potomac Rivers. If we follow those rivers along their entire course, and count every bale as it crosses or leaves any one of them, we shall have included beyond a doubt the entire overland movement. Beginning, then, at Cairo, we find that the Illinois Central Railroad may take cotton from that point and from Mound City, and also from the Mississippi, over its branch at Carbondale and its new branch -at Chester. A return from that company shows that it has this year thus carried North (including some small lots shipped at way stations in Southern Illinois, probably tlie growth of that section,) 23,640 hales. From the same point the Cairo & Vincennes (a new road completed this year) is likely in a short time to build up a cotton business ; thus far, however, it has only carried 34 bales. by these routes no cotton leaves or passes up tlie Mississippi (not including local consumption) except what is ship, ped from St. Louis, or what crosses the Mississippi at Hannibal, brought to that point from the Missouri,Kansas and Texas Railroad, The shipments at St. Louis during the year have reached 51,795 bales, and the movement across the river at Hannibal has been only 2,213 bales. Returning, then, to the Ohio, and following up the north hank, the first railroads we meet with are the two roads at Shawneetown, one the Springfield and Illinois Southeastern, and the other the St. Louis and Southeastern, which latter road Other than also has a connection with the Ohio at Evansville. of these roads while the other road no Over the first 10,221 bales have been carried from Shawneetown, (the St. Louis and Southeastern) has carried (and away from the market) cotton, its course being westerly rather than easterlv. At Evansville we have the Evansville and Crawfordsville road, which has carried north from Evansville 12,048 bales. The next lines of road are opposite Louisville the first of which is the Louisville New Albany and Chicago. This road has carried only 40 bales of cotton the past year. Next we meet the Jeffersonville Madison and Indianapolis Rail oad, includ¬ ing the Madison Branch, a full return from which shows that they have carried 75,957 bales. The Ohio and Mississippi Branch, the road next in order, is given at 95,299 bales. From these lines of road up to Cincinnati there are no railroads running north from the Ohio taking cotton. At Cincinnati the receipts by the river direct from the South have been 77,291 hales. The Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington Railroad has also at this point delivered 31,658 hales, which have been resliipped, over the roads entering Above Cincinnati no rail¬ Cincinnati, to the north and east. road has taken any cotton from the Ohio River. There is, how¬ ever, a small amount of cotton coming up the river which is not taken by any of these railroads, nor does it stop at Cincinnati, but goes direct to mills either above or below that city. We have estimated this movement from such returns as we have been able to obtain at 22,000 bales. Turning now to the east of the Alleghanies, it will be found that transported overland—none whatever crossing apolis RIi. and Madison Branch. j Railroad. I Ohio & Miss. RR.. Louisville Branch.

To avoid misun¬ portant road from Richmond to Washington, via Acquia Creek, derstanding, it must be remembered that a large part of the crop reports no cotton carried ; and further, the road from Washington which thus reaches the market appears in our weekly totals and to Baltimore (the Washington Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio We thus see that the figures becomes a part of the receipts at the ports, under the heads of Railroad) has carried no cotton. given every of cotton which has come above must include bale New York, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Portland, as overland to the North, and hence we reach the following as the indicated in the first table given in this report.

The case put forward is not difficult to dispute, for the war indemnity has been paid, while Germany has ceased to beu large buyer of gold. The Ger¬ mans are certainly sufficiently shrewd to perceive that if they will require gold for coinage purposes before the close of the year, the present is a very convenient time to purchase it, while two months hence the case may be different. But at present there is no German demand, and hence the accumulation at the bank or in the country is great. There is just now quite the usual amount of notes and coin iu circulation for harvest and traveling purposes ; but this may soon be expected to return, more espe¬ cially if the weather continue unsettled and pleasure-seekers bring their tours to a close. We must nevertheless expect an increasing demand for money. With the advent of September, it is only natural to expect it, more especially as money being cheap capitalists are not likely to allow it to remain unemployed, but are likely to adopt means to obtain a larger return. Hence we find that sound foreign stocks have of late been largely absorbed, the fortnightly settlement arranged this week having disclosed a great scarcity in the market. Even Egyptian stocks, notwith¬ standing the recent loan, were very scarce, and to “carry over” the Khedive loan the rates of interest charged were so high that money and bullion this that 1873 will not he unlike 1872 , several operators were induced to close their accounts. been to a fair extent, and To-day the demand for money has the rates of discount are as follows ; Per cent.

Many persons thought that the cable was rotten, but as that is far from being the case, still greater stability is given to telegraph property. It is thought that telegraph property will soon become as popular aud as sound an investment as railways—perhaps, sounder, when the “ duplex” system of working, by which the capacity of the existing lines is doubled, is generally adopted.

This method of putting funds together in a company—as in the Scot¬ tish American Investment Trust—and employing suitable parties to make investments, at a reasonable commission, is one which commends itself as wise and practicable. The company, and its report just rendered to the first general meeting of certificate holders, show that the company is to pay regular dividends of 0 per cent per annum, and at the end of ten years the whole of the investments will be realized and the profits divided. Thus far the Trust has invested about $1,750,000, chiefly in first class railroad bonds, and the average rate of interest realized amounts to 7 GO per cent per anuum. —One of cial our exchanges states that “ Messrs. Fairbanks, finan¬ agents, report an increasing demand for the bonds of the Vermont division of the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad, which is stimulated by the prospects of the early completion of the road.

THE 1873.] September 13, Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market was variable during the early part of the week, and frequently depressed, as the bears made the most of the advantage which accrued to them from the unfavorable bank statement and the Railroad and of the N. Y. Warehouse and Security Com¬ pany. Fluctuations were frequent, ancl the market was for a time quite sensitive, and prices easily knocked off a fraction by rumors having little or no foundation. About the lowest prices were reached on Wednesday, but on Thursday there was a partial recovery in tone, which has been more marked to-day, with a fur¬ ther advance in prices. It is still believed by many that the party lately trying to depress the market have done «o for the purpose of buying in, and that when sufficiently loaded up they will be on the other side, liailroad earnings for the month of August, and for the eight months from January 1 to September 1, areltully reported on another page, and will generally be found quite favorable.

The salient points of the decision are understood, in consequence of the numerous by virtue of vaiious acts of the General We will first the old and new Constitution. not generally issues of securities Assembly, passed under state the classes of the pale of and wholly unaffected by these decisions. They consist of registered stocks and coupon bonds, viz.: Three per cent stock, act 1704; six per cent, acts 1838, ’50, ’57, ’58, ’50, ’61, ’03,’GO and T>0; bonds, acts 1838,’53,’54,’00; bonds for funding hills of the Bank of the State, (the State own¬ ing the hank and liable for its issue,) act of 1808 ; and bonds for the conversion of State securities, act of 1809. These stocks and bonds are not affected by this decision. The unfortunate holders have still to rely upon the faith and credit of the State for pay¬ ment, because they were issued under the old Constitution, or to change the form of an indebtedness pre-existing when the new Constitution was adopted. These stocks and bonds amount to $12,851,327. The new Constitution provides, article 9, section 7, For the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract public debts, but such debts shall be author¬ ized bylaw lor some single object, to be distinctly,’specified therein, and no such law shall take effect until it shall have been passed securities without “ by the vote ot two-tliirds of the members General Assembly, to be recorded by yeas of accomplishing a consolidation of these securities the Comptroller thus sums up : ' , 1. There is a large amount of the debt held in trust, and by executors and administrators who may not have the power to convert the securities held by them even if they wished to do so. The consolidation must be entirely optional on the part of the holders of existing bonds. 2. The provisions of the sinking fund for the payment of principal as at present constituted, which apply in different degrees to certain portions of the debt, cannot be changed without new legislation protecting the original holders as now secured. 3. The bonds, fall due at different periods. 4. They bear different rates of interest. 5. There are different provisions of law for the security of the various classes of bonds. 0. There is now existing an issue of what is called consolidated stock, coupon and registered, due in 1901. 7. Stocks payable from the existing sinking bind can only be paid as they mature out of the revenues of this fund. The comptroller thinks thiit it is possible to fix upon a standard bond payable in fort}” years, at 5 per cent interest, payable semi¬ annually, principal and interest payable-in gold; while the general features of these bonds should be the same, thav might lie made to mature at different dates if found indispensable to m>et the. existing conditions of stocks and bonds now outstanding. A table of equalizations of values, taking time of payment of prin¬ cipal, gold and currency, and rate of interest into consideration should be publicly presented, by the rule of which any holder <4 existing stock could exchange his bonds for the new consolidated bonds. Adequate provisions of law must he secured so as to render the bond per i cily ch ar and unmistakable as to the suffi¬ ciency of legal authorization, and so that any stocks or bonds hereafter to be issued for any purpose, except short hoods-pay¬ able out of taxes or ass •ssim nt.s, shall be issued as of tlie consoli¬ the way of each branch of the dated class.

Molasses is steady, with sales restricted by the illiberal offeringsTea is in fair demand, and rules firm without change in quota¬ tions.

Comparing the rate sugar now with the same date last year, and we find sugar still relatively lower than it was then, although since our last there has been a decline of hut while gold is off 5 per cent.

Tlie city continues to be well tilled with buyers, the arrivals being fully equal to the departures, and a brisk trade is in progress throughout the market. The trade during August and thus far in the current month has been greatly iu excess of the same period in former years, and compensates in a gr.-at measure for the comparative dullness during the,earlier months. The transactions at present are largely of a jobbing character, and the sales in this department have shown a mo e decided improve¬ ment this week than those from first hands. Indeed there has activity with commission houses in the way of are still busily 'mgaged iu filling previous orders. The business continues to be of a very sat¬ isfactory character, and sales are effected without the pressure of been rather less orders, though nearlv all long credits or extra discounts. Domestic Cotton Goods.—The strong market for small propor. of refiners, and a continued absence of those grades still restricts business to a small scale. The stock of Cuba is somewhat larger than at the time we last wrote, but even now numbers hut 779 hhds., very little of which is adapted to boilers’ uses. The supply of Porto Rico, largely grocery stock, foots tip 1,114 hlids., from which moderate sales are making in lots for trade distribution. A limited business is doing in English Islands to the trade, and the stock is reduced to 187 hhds. We have 200 bbls of New Orleans in stock according to late counts, and small sales are making at decidedly better prices for fine grades. Good qualities of syrups are scarce on the mar¬ ket anil prices are stiffly maintained, with a moderate business. The sales of molasses are 65 hhds. Porto Rico in trade lots, at 58@»66c.; 100 bbls. New Orleans, 93c.@$l. tion suitable to the wants cotton is beneficial to the the raw steady maintenance of values of fabrics, although this influence is not necessary, in view of staple fabrics, and the reduced condition of stocks at present. The figures iu our cotton statement for the crop year of 1872-3 will be found inter¬ esting as showing not only the general movement of the heavy crop, but the increased consumption of both’ Northern and South¬ ern mills. The transactions in brown sheetings and shirtings have been active, and a liberal distribution lias been effected by jobbers. From first hands sales were also liberal, although the already reduced state of stocks prevents commission houses from operating largely beyond the filling of previous orders.
