These deposits, instead of being held sacred as a floating
fund for legitimate work, were lent at high rates to railroads and to other borrowers, so that the floating capital
of the country was tco rapidly converted into fixed capital,
and mercantile industry had to suffer in consequence.
There were thus two chief reasons of stringency developed
in the autumn of every year. First, the banks were short
of reserves, or at least their accumulations during the
idle months of the summer had been dispersed and had
become inadequate
and secondly, their deposits had
been used to an unsafe extent in loans to railroads and to
speculative enterprises requiring fixed capital. The consequence was that a very curious and unwholesome
state of
the money market was developed, and
some keen speculators soon discovered that, with
a little combination on the part of a small clique of
money lenders, the rates of interest could be easily
marked up at certain periods of special activity. Our
usury laws, bad as they are and great as is the mischief
which they worked in other respects, had at least the
good effect of protecting our banks against the temptation of openly joining this clique of " tight-money men,"

these cliques came to grief, and the conditions under
which their existence was possible were swept away^
How soon they may return and what new forms they
may assume, it is needless to inquire. We have at present no immediate cause of apprehension from their manipulation, as is evident from the ease of money, both^
here and in Europe. There is, therefore, an assurance
among our merchants, manufacturers and bankers that
whatever other causes may tend to check the revival of
business, there will be no mischievous influences proceeding from any stringency of money. On the contrary, the influences which we have several times of late
discussed, and which make the money market favorable

are not in this country exposed to the complications
which so often arise in European finance. In many
points of view, our financial system is separate and shut
off from the financial systems of European nations, and
with the exception of the silver troubles, scarcely any of
the great monetary perturbations of Europe have of late
years produced any notable effect here. This principle
is the more important in regard to the subject before us
because it removes from the monetary horizon the fear
that the war in the East, which is creating so much
anxiety in England and on the continent, may be hostile
to the recovery of industrial health in this country.
This fear has prevailed in some quarters, especially in
connection with the price of gold, in which some spas-

his views as follows
:
"The
conclusion seems to bs irresistible that there is no constant or even general relation of prioaa to the amount of currency
in issue, whether redeemable or depreciated, and that no rul«! of
proportion br-t ween them can ba stated. What is tlie practical
bearing of this conclusion 1 Nearly all arguments for and against
contraction of the currency, as a means to specie payment, have
carried the admission or assertion thit contraction must of necessity depress prices.
Its advocates urge the sacrifice for the sake
of the benefits to follow.
Its opponents, even of the class who
desire a return to specie payments, are in dread of further
depression and of further disability of debtors to meet their
liabilities.
It becomes, then, of the highest importance to show
that stagnation in business, continued downward tendency of
prices, and increased disability for both consumption and payment of debts, may consist with redundant currency, and because
of its redundancy; also, that industry may be quickened, consuming power be increased, capital and labor find better employment,
average prices be advanced, and the ability of debtors increased,
not only in coincidence with a contraction of the currency, but
as a consequence of it.
Under cprtaiu circumstances ihese propositions are true and those circumstances now exist. The quantity
of currency has by its excess reversed the ordinary effect to
enhance prices, because of its subjection to the superior consideration of quality in the command of confidence."

We have no space to recapitulate the arguments by

less inducement to offer the greenbacks at the Treasury,
or to produce that monetary perturbation which would be
inevitable if any large and general movement were to
be set on foot to demand gold for greenbacks at the
Treasury. Of course, if any such funding scheme as we
have suggested is to be crowned with success, one of the
essential features of it must be that it must not be
started when the money market is in a sensitive state of
unrest; and, as Mr. Nourse observed, the financial situation at present offers several conditions which are singularly favorable to the hope that, with due care and skill,
greenback contraction, to the extent which may be needful, can be achieved with less of peril and mischief than

[Sept<?mb3r 16, 1876.
Deduct—
Very few words are necessary in explanation of our overland
movement. In studying these figures, however, and, in fact, every
other portion of our crop statement, it must be remembered that it
always been our plan to count each bale of cotton at the Southern outport where ii first appears. This is a simple rule, applying
to every part of our annual cotton crop report. We in this way
not only preserve the unity of the report, and therefore simplify
it, but, as H consequence, also make it more intelligible, and less
liable to error.
Hence, in the overland statement, the reader vi ill
find three classes of deductions from the grosa amount carried
lias

shipped by rail from Southern outports to the
North. For instance, from New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, &c.,
frequent shipments are thus made, an account of which la kept,
fcut it is all included in the crop of New Orleans, or Mobile, or
Savannah, &c., as the case may be, when it first appears there,
and therefore when the same cotton appears again in the overIS first, all cotton
must of course bo deducted, or it will be twice counted.
Second, we deduct from overland likewise the small amounts
taken from the Southern outporta for Southern consumption.
They also, for the sake of unity and simplicity, are counted at
the outports where they first appear. But, as is well known, the
entire Southern consumption is made up in an item by itself, and
added to the crop. Hence, unless these small lots which thus go
into Southern consumption from the Southern outports, are deducted somewhere, they will be twice counted.
Third, we also deduct the arrivals, during the year, by railroad
from the West and South, at New York, Boston, Baltimore, Phila
delphia and Portland. Those receipts reached these ports by
coming across the country, and appear in our weekly totals
becoming a part of the receipts at the ports, under the heads of
"New York" and "Other Ports," bat now have been divided up
and included under each separate city, according to the amount
thus received by it during the year, as indicated in the first table
of this report. All this cotton, then, having been counted during the year, must now be deducted as has been done.

movement, we have followed the plan which was first suggested
and acted upon by ourselves eleven years since. Up to that time,
this item had only been a crude estimate, based upon the
Memphis and Nashville statements. Now we have made it as
exact a record as any other portion of the crop total. Balow is

shipments from M jbi'e and Texas to New Orleans are
taken from the Mobile and Galveston statements. We use them, as heretofore,
instead of the record of arrivals from those points kept at New Orleans,
because we fee no other way of reconciling the various port figures. If
figures of
Ga veston, for instance, has received so much cotton, she must give ns a record
of the shipments, and if we do not accept her recoid of shipments entire, no
part of it can be correct. With the receipts there is room for reconciliation, tn
the surplus found on count of stock and in other obvious ways. Our crop
made up (not ou!y for New Orleans, but for all the other
ports) on thj supposition and basis that every port keeps and gives a correct
report, therefore, is
record of its shipments.
tThe "Ailsa" was sunk prior to September 1, 1574, and its cargo was included
in the year's crop ending that day; the amount here given was recovered in
W75, and, therefore, was deducted from the crop of 1874-75.

This condition In Qreat Britain
see iittributed, by a writer in a Liverpool paper, to a revolution.
which he
states is going on in the system of trade with the East.
Formerly, it was customary for India firms to hold large stocks
of goods and yarns in Bombay and other import towns, and th»
route around the Cape necessitated a further considerable stock
at sea also.
Now, however, by means of the Suez Canal and
telegraph, all this is changed, very small stocks being held by
first hands in India, since any ordinary goods can be ordered
shipped and arrive in six weeks to two months from the date of
the order. Consequently, the old distributing stocks are held
nowhere, except in very small amounts, and the manufacturer
himself is compelled to carry the surplus. The pressure of thia
surplus in a " fresh place" (that is in the hands of mannfacturerst
rather than in the hands of merchants at Bombay and elsewhere)
this Liverpool writer says, is what has given an appearance of
over-production in Great Britain, whereas, in truth, he claims
there
is
no over-production.
Without wholly accepting this conclusion, the gnggestion that
a change is going on in Europe, as well as ia this country, induced
by steam and telegraph, in the matter of carrying stocks of goods,
is true, and is of considerable importance in interpreting the present
conditions and future prospects of the trade.
Our own manufacturers have had to .jontend against similar facta; that is, the
rapidity with which orders can be executed has led to a disposi.
tion among our merchants to carry very small stocks, and this
disposition the panic intensified, until in July, 1874, the mills and
their agents found themselves with a large surplus of manufactured goods on their hands. The first and natural conclusion,
was that this phowed a very decided over-production. Subsequent developments, however, have proved that position to be tufalse one, at least in degree.
This is evident from the fact that
on the first of July, 1875, although the mills used as much cotton
for the year ending that day as during the previous year, they
found themselves with decreased stocks of goods; in other words,
more than taken the entire production of the
twelve months. The year just ended is nearly a repetition of
1874-75 the mills having distributed more than they manufactured.
And yet prices have been constantly unsatisfactory, sales
being forced under this same idea of over-production. When they
saw the surplus piled up at the mills or with agents, they forgot it
was nearly the whole surplus, formerly held everywhere, and that
three months' production now, therefore, makes more show as
surplus than six months' production did in 1860.
But the turn has come. Low prices at last compelled many

goods, amounting, for a short time, to 15 per cent of the entire
production. At the same time the requirements for export of
our best fabrics have been slowly but steadily increasiog, as the
quality of the first ventures has become known to the consumers.
Of course, under such circumstances, there could be but oneWe pointed it out on the 5th of August (before the late
result.
movement in the goods market) and asked the question then,
which may well be repeated now: "Do not these facts seem to" promise some improvement, in the early future, in the position
" of our cotton spinners ?" That improvement has been realized,
and with the promise of better prices the most of the mills have-
up again.
For the coming year the prospect is extremely encouraging.
This is a necessary conclusion from the proof given above asto the actual consumption of goods the past two yearn.
It ha»
been clearly shown that during those years the country hasabsorbed more than the production. The temporary stoppage of
the mills tended to reveal more quickly the true situation in this
respect.
Of course, the mills may overdo the matter, under the
present exhilaration, and force their spindles until the result is an
accumulation of goods. But. as the case now stands, ihe above
facts indicate that the country will need, and can be made to take
started
at remunerative prices, a production equal to either of the lag*

railroad, in the North, during the past year, we have investigated, and where
there was cotton lost, have sought, and in almost every case obtained, a full
return of the loss. This enables us to give the actual consumj,tion in the
North with greater accuracy.

exceedingly moderate scile, and the market has presented no
new or encouraging feature. There is still a super-abundant
supply of lloating capital, and the rates of discount remain, in
consequence, extremely easy at f to 1 per cent. The official
minimum is without change at 2 per cent. From nearly every
centre of industry reports have been received indicating no
improvement in the geneial condition of business, and this is »
matter to be regretted, an the autumn trade should have been EOmewhat of a guarantee that business would sssume more extended

Situation.
Tliere
Lave been no events of special importance tlie past week, and the
operations of the Syndicate and fluctuations of the stock market
have still been tlie piincipal topics of interest. The reports from
trade circles continue to be good, and the material improvement
which has taken placo in tbe dry goods and merchandise markets within a few weeks past has become the subject of common
15,
The KIoneT Market aad Financial
observation.
In our local money market tbe rate for call loans is scarcely
affected as yet by the advance in the season, and the common
quotation is 1^02^ per cent, according to the collaterals. The
choicest short-date commercial paper sells at 435 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly report on Thursday showed a
gain of £677,000, specie, the reserve being 03| per cent of the
liabilities, and the discount rate unchanged at 3 per cent.
The
Bank of France gained in the week 1,186,000 francs in specie.
The last statement of the New York City Clearing-House banks,
issued September 9, jhowed a decrease of $234,.525 in the excess
above their 25 per cent, legal reserve, the whole of such excess
being $22,540,025, against |22,774,550 the previous week.

United States Bondn.—There has been rather more firmness in government securities this week, in consequence of an
inclination on the part of holders not to sell out too hastily their
five-twenties of 1865 (new) and the later issues, and to wait for
further developments in the Syndicate negotiations. The first
move of tbe Syndicate appears to have been fairly successful, in
disposing of the $40,000,000 4i per cent, bonds taken by them
from the government, but whether or not the members of the
Syndicate took, directly or indirectly, any considerable amount
of the bonds for their own account is not yet precisely known.
But even those who look for success in the Syndicate negotiation
of the whole $300,000,000 of 4| per cents, anticipate that it will
take some time to place them, and, after that shall be done, the
sale of 4 per cent, bonds of the sort authorized by the existing
is, at least, quite uncertain.
For this reason the holders of
all the five-twenty bondf not to be reached by the present $300,000,000 of 4J per cents, have become somewhat firmer in their
views, and less inclined to throw iheir bonds on the market. The
following letter refers to the question of the deposit of 4J per
cent, bonds for national bank circulation in place of 5 and 6 per

State and Railroad Bonds—AmoDg State bonds the Tennessees have been scarcely as firm, on the payment of the
coupons, which began today.
Louisiana consols are about
steady. Virginia consols are firm.
The new funded bonds of
Alabama have sold at 33, and it is understood that some
$2,000,000 have now been issued in exchange for old bonds.
Railroad bonds, where they are not affected by the stock
market, continue stroag. The New Jersey Centralbonds have
declined still further, and even the old issue, quoted as "first
mortgHge new", sold to-day at 103J, although the amount of this
issue is only $5,000,000. It does not appear to be universally
known that the consolidated mortgage of this company includes
the convertible bonds in its provisions, as these have been Bellin^r
much below the consolidated.
The decline in stocks heretofore held as unqueslionably safe
investments, and the previous ehaking in railroad bonds, will
induce careful investors to select such bonds for purchase as are
secured by mortgage on property that would bo considered good
at any time, even under forced sale, for more than the face of the
bond.'".
The past few years have so severely tried the strength of
our leading railroads that, knowing the financial operations of
any given road during that time, it may not be a bad time at
present to form a tolerably correct estimate of its future capacity
to earn interest under the most adverse circunntancas.
Messrs. Adrian H. Muller & Son sold at auction:
28 shares Mercantile Fire Ins Co., 92.
50 shares National Broadway Bank, $23 each, 201.
30 shares Safe Deposit Co of New York, J25 each, 120.

Ballroad and Miscellaneous Stocks. — The
has been feverish and irregular.
stock market
After the continued depreswas quite a
sion prevailing in the earl.v part of the week, tbere
sharp upward turn on Wednesday and Thursday, which was
shared by nearly the whole list, and this has been followed again
to-day by weakness, in which New Jersey Central was most conspicuous, and Slid down lo 20|, recovering to 22| at the close.
The figures from the Lake Shore report, which we quoted last
week, appear to be generally construed as favorable to the
company, and this stock has been about the strongest of the list.
To-day, the decline in New Jersey Central was assisted by various
rumors against the company among others, that it could not
negotiate the new bonds for $5,000,000, and that a receiver was
to be applied for
all of which was denied by the president.
The reaction in stocks on Thursday was partly accounted for by
a twist on the short interest, which, in all times of depression
like the present, is generally large, and is liable, at any time, to
be forced into a covering movement, with the result of a sharp
advance iu price?. The Western Union Telegraph statement for
the quarter ending Sept. 30 is a favorable ex'iibit, and on the
declaration of the 1| per cent quarterly dividend the stock has
—
—
been firmly held.
At the close to-day prices were generally strong,
of J to 1 per cent.

Atlantic Mississippi & Oliio. In the United States Circuit
Court, at Uichniond, Va., Sept. 13, an order was entered instructing the receivers of the Atlantic Mississippi & Obio Railroad to
exercise their best judgment in relation to redeeming certain
securities of the company, hvpothecated as collaterals for loans
advanced prior to the appointment of receivers provided, however,
they shall not increase the debts in question, or change the character thereof.
Tlie receivers were also authorized for the extension or continuance of the loans for which the bonds stand
pledged.

—The sale of this road, in foreclosure, took
St. l^'uis, Sept. 8.
The
sale included 293 miles of road
from Pacific City, Mo., 37 miles west of St. Louis, southwest to
the boundary line, wiih all the equipment and appurtenances of
the road. The land grant was sold as a separate parcel. The
foreclosure was of the second mortgage, and the sale was made
subject to the first mortgage, executed by the South Pacific Com
p*ny, under which bonds to the amount of $7,197,500 are outBtauding, also to certain claims, either passed upon by the court or
now in litigation, to meet which the purchasers are required to
of the purchase money with the court. The road
F. Buckley for $450,000, and the land grant to
the same parly for $50,000. Mr. Buckley represents the paity
which has heretofore controlled the road.
The purchasers met in St. Louis, Sept. 11, and organized a new
company under the name of the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company, and it is said that they will purchase the Atlantic
& Pacific Railroad, and construct 37 miles of track between Pacific
City and St. Louis, so as to give the company a continuous line
between the termini of the road. The directors for the ensuing
year are Andrew Pierce, Jr., Joseph Seligman, James D. Fisk,
J. P. Robinson, W. H. Coffin, James Baker, Samuel Hayes, C. B.
Fisk, W. F. Buckley, Thomas A. Pierce, C. W. Rogers, and
Henry F. Verhuven.
The sale did not include the 28 miles of the road in the Indian
Territory, from Seneca to Viuita, known at the Central Divi=ioD,
which is covered by a separate mortgage for $1,190,000. It is
understood, however, that the new company has arranged for the
use of this section of the line with the holders of the bonds.

As compared with the first eight months of 187o, the receipts

very dull and depressed.
During the past 12 months the Long Branch Riilroid has been
opened to the public, and there has been a gradual and most gratifying increase in its business. It extends also 17 miles south of
Long Branch to Sea Girt, through a fine country which is be'ng
rapidly' developed.
It is evident that this road will take care of
itself.
I' is leased at sevea per cent by this company, and the
interest paid on the stock held by the public (1,800 shares) Is
$33,600. There is no mortgag:) on the road.
fbe " new line" between Philadelphia and New York, of which
this road between Bound Brook and New York is a part, is also
in succe.ssful operation and growing in cublie favor.
The Higti Bridge & Longwood Valley Railroad has been
recently built by this compaay mainlf as an ore road, extending
from High Bridge through German Valley. All the stock is held
by this company. This road also is without mortgiga.
Many inquiries have been made about the terms ot the lease of
the Lohigli & Sufquehannah Riilroad and branches. The conhas been eminently satisfactory to both companies, and is
very valuable to this company. Th^owneri of the road receive
one-third of the gross receipts, while the Central receives the
remaining two-thirds for maintaining the road (other than construction), and for furnishing the equipment. The rent, therefore,
varies with the amount of business done.
The $3,310,000 bonds
assumed ara for oars and engines bought of that company.
The L'ihigh Canal and Ddlawara Division Canal are operated
at a fixed rate aiuouating to $3^3,103 per annum, and arj so
operated in order to prevent the complications which be'ore
arose.
This year, so far, there has baen a loss ot $117,000. This
is not likely to occur in the future.
The South Branch Riilroad is a valuable spur running from
Somerville to Flemington, leased at six per cent. Annual rental,
$30,298.
The Newark & New York Railroad is a portion of the Central,
and included in its cos'. Its business is included in the general
tract
return.
The Newark & Elizvbeth Branch
is also a portion of the
included as above.
Tlie roa
between Elizabeth
and Penh Amboy. terminating at the Ririt&n River Bridge, Is
also included ds above.
The equipment of the road and branclies is large and complete,
and in excellent condition. * * *
Under the charter of the American Dock and Improvement
Company, the stock of which is entirely owned by the Central,
the lands, and lands under water, south of Jersey City are held.
They comprise the lands surrounding the North Bisin, between
Jersey City and the station grounds of the company, and also
the lands, and lands under water, lying south of the station
grounds and extending to Cavan Point. The total area belonging
to the Dock Company is 1.000 acres, and the water-front belonging to the two companies is about two miles and a half in extent.
The coitpany has issued bonds to the amount of $3,000,000,
guaranteed by the Central, and entitled to the security of any
mortgage given on the property. The capital stock is now
$3,000,000, as $1,500,000 of advances for improvements have been
recently capitaliz'sd. There is a balance of $400,000 due the
Central on open account. There is no other indebtednoes. The
amount expended by the Central upon this property, including
wharves, bulkheads, filling, &c,, will probably amount to $6,000,000.
It is difficult to estimate the value of the property, but it is
very creat and it is the cnly unoccupied water-front near Jersey City. Though much of the property may remain unimproved for some time, its value in the future is assured.
All the coal interests of the Central Railroad Company are
united iu the Lehigh and Wilksbarre Coal Company, of which
they hold a controlling interest. The coai properties of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company also passed entirely, by
purchase or pel petual lease, into the possession of the Wilkesbirre Compiny, which became thereby one of the largest coal
owners and producers in the anthracite region.
The laud?, united as above in the bauds of the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Company form, perhaps, the finest body of
coal lands under one control in the anthracite region.
They
have been carefully selected with a view to compactness, and lie
together in solid bodies, requiring the least amount of lateral
roads and the minimum of transportation to a market. Care has
been taken to select first-class properties for purchase in prefer-

The item
of 11,353,971 53 being the losses in business of the
L. & W. Coal Co , during the last three years, has, in a great degree, been occasioned by the necessity the Company was under ot
keeping the miners ready to resume work at the termination of
the strike that continued for six months, and also the expenditure
of $400,000 in the extingaishraent of a fire in the mines.
The Wilkesbarre Company have wharves, coal pockets and
dumping grounds at several important places in the East, and
from these places their coal is distributed through the Baslern
markets. Some of these are owned in fee, while others are
leased. The cost, when owned, is included in the exhibit already
made
Tbe indebtedness
leased lines were operated at a loss aggregating about
$1,400,000 for the past three years. The profits on coal for that
period were about $3,200,000, showing a net gain of $800,000.
The directors claim that the stock is worth considerably over par
on their books, placing the coal lands at a fair valuation. The
officers insist that there is nothing to warrant the late decliae in
the stock, and that the company i> in a position to do a very prosperous business as soon as there shall be a general revival of
trade.
With respect to the New York & Canada line It appears
that the road cost $9,000,000, and there were issued by th» N. T.
& C. Co. $4,000,000 of per cent bonds and $4,000,000 of stock,
and all of the latter has been taken and is held by the Delaware
& Hudson. The latter pay $240,000 interest on the bonds of the
New York & Canada road, and this year they will receive from
tbe net earnings of the line about half this amount, or $120,000.

The above
report shows that while there has been a corataot
decrease in gross earnings down to 1875, there has been a steady
increase in the net earnings.
In comparing the years 1872-3 with
1875-0 we find the net earnings to be nearly $5()0 000 more, and
the gross earnings nearly $1,200,000 less, and this result is more
remarkable when the fact is mentioned that the rates upon the
company's traffic in 1875 7C averaged 25 per cent less than they
did in 1872-3.
New York anil New England.— In Barnard antT others, assignees, against Hart and others, trustees, the United States Circuit Court has decided that the mortgage known as the Berdell
mortgage of the Boston Hirtford & Erie Railroad covered tbe
lease and all^leasehold interest in the Norwich & Worcester road
which the Bjston Hartford & Erie Company acquired by its lease
of that road.
Both the trustees under the mortgage and the
assignees in bauKruptcy claim to hold the lease, although, by
agreement between the parties, the trustees operated the road
until the
New York & New England Company wa«
served, a-nounts to
and accounts receivable, $1,680,814 10, leaves $4,928,195 05.
The Central is liable as iodorser for about $3,030,000 ot this
amount, and has also loanrd large amounts of its Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre bouds, to be used as collateral for other portions
ot it.
In order to afford relief from this indebtedness, the Central
Railroad Company have made a mortgage for $5,000,000, covering
their entire property, subject to tbe lien of the existing mortgages,
amounting to $25,000,000; and further to secure the said $5,000,000
have hypothecated $1,500,000 of the stock of the Long Branch
K.R. Co. $SOO,OJO of the stock of the High Bridge R.R. Co.
$200,000 of the stock of the Longwood Valley RR. Co. (on these
roads there are no incumbrances, and stock has only been issued
to represent the money actuilly paid in the construction of the
roads); and as further security have hypothecated $3,0C'0,000 of
the stock of the American Djck and Improvement Company
which property, it is estimated, has cost the Central RR. Co.
$6,000,000, and is subject to a lien of $3,000,000; also $6,600,000
of the stock of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Co., subject to the
liens hereinbefore stated.
As security that the value of the saiJ
stock will not be impaired by the creation of indebtedness or by
liens being placed on the property, the stock will be delivered to
the trustees named in the mortgage, simultaneously with the
mortgage and as a still further security for the siid loan the
mortgage covers seven ferry-boats, subject to the lien of tbe first
mortgage, which boats are estimated worth, in the aggregate,
$500,000. The bonds representing this loan of $5,000,000 the

A few facts and figures and a little reflection may help many
to estimate more correctly the lelative values of the various

:
THE CHRONICLR
280
It will be seen that ^150,000,000 of the fouranda-half per cent
bonds must be sold before the old sixty-fives can be all called in,
and before any of the now sixty fives can be disturbed; and that
the sale of the entire amount of the four anda-half percent bonds
authorized by law will still leave f53, 000,000 of the new
sixty-fives outstanding, and all the five-twentiss of 18G7 and 1863
undisturbed. The six per cent, bonds of 1881 are not payable
absolutely in 1831, as is (generally supposed, but are reduemable
at the option of the Government after June 30, 18S1, except one
issue of $18,415,000, under the act of February 8, 1861, which are
payable December 31, 1880. They cannot be called in for redemption before the date above mentioned, and may run several years
longer.
The
per cent, bonds of 1881 are also not absolutely payable
in 1881, but redeemable at the option of the Government after
that date. These bonds and the ten-forties, being five per cent,
bonds, will not be disturbed until all the six per cent, bonds have
beon redeemed or funded, except, perhaps, the currency sixes,
^vhich are not redeemable until 1895 to 18&9; and as there are
now outstanding; $981,999,650 in six per cent, bonds, exclupive of
the currency sixes, it is hardly worthwhile, in estimating the
value of the five per cent, issues for investment, to assume any
possibility of their redemption in less than fifteen to twenty
years, while it is not unlikely that the ten-forties may run to
their full maturity in 1904.
The amount of jfour-and-a-balf per cent, bonds actually purchased by the syndicate in their recent negotiation with the
Secretary of the Treasury was $40,000,000, witli an option to take
the remiinder, or any part, at any time prior to March 1, 1877.
This will involve the calling in of only $40,000,000 of the Old
five
eSs (including the two Cills for $10,000,000 each, made September
1 and September 6), until the Syndicate are prepared to actually
purchase a further amount of the four-and-a-half per cent
bonds. * * *
THE PR0BABILITIE8.
In view of the fores;oing, it is probable that the negotiation of
the first $150,000,000 of the four-and-a half per cent bonds,
and the calling in and redemption of the first $150,000,000 of
the old sixty-fives, supposing the negotiation to be fairly successful, may be accomplished in from a year to a year and a half.
It is probable that the negotiation of the remaining $150,000,000
of four-and-a-half per cent bonds, and the calling in of a
like amount of the new 65s, commencing, say, some time in 1878,
will occupy from one to two years thereafter. » » *
It may, therefore, be assumed as probable, that the old sixtyfives will draw interest for from three months (the time for
which those already called in must be allowed to run) to eighteen
months. That the new sixty-fives will run for from one and
a half to three and a half years. That the sixty-sevens and
sixty-eights, which cannot be called in until a negotiation of
bonds bearing four per cent interest can be made, will run for
from five to seven years. That the sixes of 1881 will run for a
like period.
That the fives of ISSl will run for from fifteen to
twenty years. That the ten-forties will run for from twenty to
twenty-eight years. The currency sixes cannot be called in until
maturity, as they are payable at fixed periods from 1895 to 1899.
SOME FIGURES IN ILLUSTRATION.
The subscription price at which the Syndicate are now ofTeriug

interest in gold the bonds to be delivered on or after September
10th, and to draw interest from September 1.
At the present
price of gold (110) the bonds will cost, on the lOth of September,
about 111 in currency.

special has been done, but refiners hcve no difficulty in maintainjng the late firm figures of 14}315c. for crude, in bulk, and 26c.
for refined, in bbls. The hide market has latterly been more
active, and quotations show considerable strength. The wool
market has not been quite as active as of late, owing to the extreme views of holders, caused by the very moderate supplies,

Ouachita Co., Camden Ark. On the 1st if August the prospects were better than at the same time for the past ten years.
Owing to dry wea'her since, except partial showers, many forms
and young bolls have fallen off, damaging prospects of the crop,
say one-fourth to one third in Calhoun, Ouachita, Union, Columbia and Nevada counties. The falling off was rapid, but checked
when showers occurred. The condition is still favorable
for a good yield from late blooms, fruited for a fair average crop.
Much rain in September would cause mildew and prevent cotton
from opening well with moderate rains and continued warm
weather prospects would still indicate more than an average
«rop. The weather has been generally dry until about the close
at the month ; cannot give days when rain fell, but showers were
generally heavy. Picking began about August 15, owing to dry.

in any year except 1870, and shows us the more important fact how
almost invariably the plant is injured in August but, to arriT*
at the true present condition compared with last year, the previous month's average should be added (according to the
Bureau's custom), as we have done in the following:

The advance on manufactured silks in Lyons, France, has been from 25 to 4-> per cent
within the last few weeks, owing to the scarcity and high cost of
raw silk. Black and colored cashmeres, drap d'ete, alpacas and
pure mohairs were in good demand. Linen goods continued
rather quiet, but laces and embroideries were in steady request.
Woolen goods for men's wear moved slowly and in very small
parcels.
Hosiery was fairly active, and there was a moderate inquiry for leather and fabric gloves. An important auction sale
of 50,000 dozen bosiery and gloves was held by order of Messrs,
Wm. Lottimer & Co and the goods were very freely taken at
fair average prices, although leather gloves sold low.
