has happily never had much influence in this country.
Free banking in this sense has always been in disfavor.
The free banking which our people have preferred has
been such as would not be incompatible with the most

banks was the Bond Street institution. It now appears
that since September, 1875, no less than ife921,962 of
the deposits were drawn out, while only $363,658 were
paid in. The aggregate deposits were thus reduced to
$1,310,409, September 1st, 1876. The assets were valued
at $1,413,019, leaving a nominal surplus of $122,610.
Had this surplus been available, the bank would never
have lost the confidence of the public. But, unfortunately, a very large proportion of the assets of the bank
were unavailable, and no less than $395,000 were locked
up in real estate. A meeting was held 5th September,
at which the trustees determined that the bank should be
wound up, and the following resolutions were passed:

•complete operation of the safeguards of publicity.

very proper one for the banks to unite in agitating.

repeat this proposal, and we would simply add to it

in regard to the repeal of oppressive taxation, the more
galling and oppressive of these fiscal burdens will in all

As to railroad reports, which are now required to be
made once a year to State authorities in the different
States, the greatest difficulties now experience.! are in
the lack of uniformity in the returns required by different States, and the different periods to which they are
made; and, secondly, in the great delay before they are
given to the public. Several of these State reports,

which contain most valuable information, are not published until a year or so after the date to which they are
made, and thus, for the practical purposes of current
information, are useless.

During the past season our importations of cereal produce cost
nearly £7,510,000 more than in the preceding season.
The
increased cost of wheat was £5,658,350, and of Indian corn £4,348,90O.
The value of the barley imported was less, however, by
£2,186,919. In 1873-4 we paid rather more for our supplies of
foreign wheat and flour than in the past season, for, although we
importe'l less, we had to pay a higher price.
The countries whence we derived our supplies of foreign wheat
and flour in each of the last three seasons, were the following:

St. Lodis Kansas Citt & Northern.— A dispatch from
Louis, September 21, says: In the United States Circuit
Court, to-day, Judge Dillon decided the case of Henry E. Eakia
against the St. Louis Kansas City & Northern Railroad, to recover
tlie interest upon coupons attached to $937,000 worth of bond*
issued by the St. Louis Council Bluffs & Omaha Railroad Company. The latter company leased their road to the former for
rental equal to the interest on these bonds, and said interest was
to be paid as the rental of the road.
This lease was made with
the consent of the stockholders of the St. Louis Council Blufls &
Omaba Road, but tbe stockholders of the St. Louis Kacsas City &
Northern Road took no formal action on It until March, 1876,
St.

when they voted it down, although the company had made three
semi-annual payments of interest on the bonds without objection
from any of the stockholders. Judge Dillon decided that, notwithstanding the informality of the leaae, as the latter company
had operated the road of the former and made three payments of
interest on the couoone, the lease ia valid, and judgment was
entered for the plaintiff.
Mevrs. Blake Bros. & Co., the well-known bankers, offer the
City of Bdston 5 per cent gold Water Loan bonds, due in 1906, to
the amount of $2,000,000. Interest is payable on those bonds in
April and October, and the bonds are either coupon or registered.
The present price is 113J and interest, and even at these fignreB
the well known standing of the city will be likely to cause a
ready market, and a strong point is also made of the fact that the
private estates of the citizens of Boston are liable for debta law-

—

fully contracted

by the

city,

— The well-known housa of Chase & Atkins are offering for the
favorable attention of investors a limited amount of the first mortgage bonds of the Detroit Munroe & Toledo Railroad Company.
These bonds run till 1901, bear seven per cent, interest, and the
total issue is $924,000, on sixty-two miles of road, " with no other
debt of any description." The principal and interest are guaranteed by the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway Company.
This issue of bonds ia in place of the same amount paid off August

1-8

Indebtedness existing or subsequently created, due or to beBy these Beciions the Legislature mauifestly contemplated a lawful acquisition by the city of interests in" railroad*
leading from or toward it, snd authorized municipal legislation in
their favor for the promotion of trade and commerce.
Thft
thirty-seventh section expressly conferred the power to give a,
railroad company a right of way into or through the city, authorized the expenditure of money to enable the city thus to aid the
company, and for the purpose of such aid empowered the city to
make use of the State's right of eminent domain. Nothing can b*
clearer, it appears to us, than that the power to make the donation
of a right of way, or of a site for station-houses, machine-shops,
and other like conveniences was thus vested ia the Mayor and
City Council. It is held that the issue of the bonds was within
the authority conferred upoa the city, and that the Mayor and
Council had the power to agree to donate upon conditions. Th»
bonds were issued and registered in the office of the State Auditor,
who certified upon eacli that it liad been regularly issued, that
the signature to it was genuine, and that it had been registered
in accordance with the statute.
The plaintiff thereupon purchased them before maturity, and without notice of the defense
se', up, which is without foundation.
Keaerved. Mr. Juitiea

City Bonds in Kansas.— In the United States Supreme
Conrt
the following decision has been rendered in the
case of Joshua

Converse, plaintiff in error, t)». the city of Port Scott: In
error to
the Circuit Court for the District of Kansas.— The
general legigJation of Kansas confers unusual power upon
municipal corporations
that State. Not only are they authorized to
subscribe
for and take stock in any railroad company duly
organized under
any law of the Slate or Territory, and to loan their credit to
such
corporations upon such conditions as they may prescribe
(acts of
1869, ch 29), but the act of February 2.9, 1868 (Gen. Statutes.,
cb
1»), confers upon some of them much more extended
powers It
enlarges the range of municipal authority and
duty far beyond
the hm.ts within which such corporations are
commonly underStood to be confined.
That was an act providing for
the incorporations of cities of the second
class, of which

than that no money shall be borrowed

The Bonds offered are a first and only lien upon the property of the Company, and are offtxed with a full conviction tJhat no better pecjrity has ever

general situation has changed little since last week. Trade circles continue to give a favorable report, and there is little doubt
that businefs is stimulated to some extent by the purchases of a

good many buyers who have been brought to this part of the
country by the Centennial Exposition. Merchants report that
old cnstoraers have put in an appearance this year who have not
been in the city for several previous seasons, having made all
their purchases during those years in Western or Southern cities.
The stock market is less excited, and the feeling of aemi-panic,
which attended the break in the coal-road shares, has given place
to a more settled tone, even where there has not been a decided
recovery in prices.

Our

money market

is still very easy at l|@2i per cent for
prime short-date commercial paper sells at 4@6
per cent, with 5 per cent as the average on the bulk of transactions. There is a larger supply of paper offering as trade becomes
more active, but with the present low rates for money all good
paper is readily disposed of.
On Thursday the weekly report of the Bank of England
showed a jjain of £173,000 in specie for the week and the minimum discount rate remains at 3 per cent. The Bank of France

United Slates Bonds. Government securities have shown
a pretty large business during the past week, whicli has been
made up in good part by the changes made by the banks in their
bonds held in Washington as security for circulation. To replace
the old five-twenties of 1865 called in, the banks must substitute
other bonds, and as some banks have also voluntarily withdrawn
fives or sixes and replaced them with the new 4^ per cents, these
transactions have led to a considerable activity in the market.
deposited other issues of bonds than the new
4i per cents, deeming their purchase at ruling prices more profit"^i"
able.
It is evident, however, that this shifting is not like an
original demand for increased supply of bonds, and consequently
we observe that prices have not advanced, but have in some
cases declined in the face of this activity. Washington teleframs this afternoon state that the total amount of 4^^ per cents
eposited to date to secure circulation is $5,518,000, all of which
were for previous issues, except $688,000 deposited for new circulation.
To-day there is a firmer tone in the old bonds, and
8ome of the principal government dealers think that the lowest
prices have been reached in the movement lately started by the
syndicate transactions.
The Secretary of the Treasury has called in for redemption
$10,000,000 of five-twenty bonds of 1865, May and November,
upon which the interest will cease on the twenty-first day of
December next. They are as follows:

In advance of the publication of the annual report, we have obtained the figures below, showing the operations of this company
for the year ending June 30, 187G, and its financial condition at
the latter date. The comparative figures for the corresponding
year, 1874-5, have been added, and altogether the report is one
of more than usual importance in view of the wide fluctuations in
the prices of the gtocks and bonds of the company in ihis market,
and the uncertainty which has at times prevailed concerning the
company's financial condition. It will be remembered that the
Springfield division of 222 miles was operated for four months of
the fiscal year 1874-3 and for the whole year 1875-6. The bonds
issued for tlxis division appear now for the first time in the balance sheet. Some details of this statement will undoubtedly be
explained by the President's report, soon to be issued.

Arkansas Central.— Dr. de Klerck writes that at Amsterdam
a meeting of the bondholders was held September 5, notice having been received that there would be a foreclosure sale at the
end of September. At this meeting a Mr. Ziegelaar, one of the
Dutch members of the recently dissolved London Committee,
proposed that a Mr. Huntington, of London, who was to sail on the

— At the meeting of

the board of

directors, on the 13th Instant, President Garrett stated, as reported in the Baltimore Sun, that notwithstanding the extremely
low rates at which a portion of the business of the company had
been done the revenue for the month of August shows $1,35^,143 13, against the revenue for the same month of the preceding
year of $1,216,121 70, being an increase of $43,031 43. While a
portion of this business has been done at unremunerative rates,
it has been deemed, under the general policy of the company,
judicious to maintain the business of Baltimore in the competition that hag been forced upon it, and thus to continue the employment of our people as fully aa practicable. The company
has effected all proper economies as was deemed for the interest
of all, so that it will have the satisfaction, he j udged, from a careful examination of the accounts up to this time, of not only
making the regular semi-annual dividend of five per cent, but of
adding a large sum to the surplus fund at the close of the fiscal

It la remarkable in this, which is known as a " great railroad
war," that up to this period not one word of correspondence or
intercourse on the subject has taken place between the New York
Central and the Baltimore and Ohio authorities. The New York
Central Company decided to make very Iot rates, the theory
being, as stated by the New York Presa, that that sompany determined that the charges for freight, &c., shall be the same between New York and the Western centres of trade aa between
Baltimore and those cities, regardless of the great differences in
the respective distances. Does it not seem that water can be as
easily made to run up hill, by natural law, as that the laws of
trade and of all experience can be thus ignored? If this is the
proper principle, for freight, it must of course, be equally correct

The New York

Central and Hudson River Company states that it has a road
with leas grades and less curves, and that it has 232 miles of its
443 miles between New York and Buffalo with four tracks but
it overlooks the fact that on the Baltimore and Ohio line for
tfiree hundred miles coal literally cropa out immediately on our
roada, and thus this comnany has in the comparative economy of
fuel alone a difference which more than compensates for the difference in grades and curves and the limited portion of extra
tracks. The Baltimore and Ohio Company has also double tracks
and third and fourth tracks, where needed, for facilitating its
business, and terminal facilities and arrangements for shipping
grain and every description of traffic much more economical and
much superior to those of the New York Central Company. Unless, therefore, that company can carry freight between Albany
and Buffalo/or nothing for the 308 miles between these cities, is

This result fully justifies the policy of securing these lines, and
the managers have every reason to believe that it will tell in increased gains in the future.
The New York & Canada Bailroad was opened for basioets Itr
December, 1875, the coat of the line being $8,000,000, |4/)00,000
of which was realized from the sale of morigagu six per oentam
gold bonds, and the balance was subscribed and paid lor by this
company, of which they hold the stock so that the fixed innaal
charges which the Canal Company must provide for is $240,040,
gold and, in this first year of its opening, it is safe to say that
one-half that amount will be realized from the net earnings,
without taking into account the incidental advantages to the Saratoga and the Susquehanna divisions, and we venture to predict
that when the coal and iron trades regain their activity and prosperity this line will produce very satisfactory results.
While there has been a falling off in the gross receipts of the
leased lines for the current year, the expenses have been reduced
in still greater ratio, and the improvements made in the sabstitation of steel for iron rails, and of iron for wooden bridges, are
having their legitimate effect upon the economies ; and it is safe
to say that the loss upon the leases, including the New York te
Canada, will not exceed those of 1S7S.
By the terms of the leases, stock or bonds ere issued by the
lessors for improvements made by this company, and it is a sufficient warrant that no improper charges are made to construction,
that the property of the lessor is encumbered by the new issues,
which they are not likely to permit for other than permanent
additions to the property.
The Canal Company is essentially a coal company, and upon
the prosperity of the coal trade its ability to remunerate its
stockholders largely depends. It has a productive capacity of at
least 4,000'000 tons per annum.
It owns its coal lands and owns
and controls lines for the transportation and distribution of its
product, which sufficiently demonstrate the fact that a moderate
profit npon its tonnage will yield a handsome return to its stock;

the office of the Secretary of State. The sale was made
for the following reasons In October, 1889, the Chicago & Southwestern Railway Company issued a serifs of bonds amounting to
$5,000,000, the payment of which, and interest, was guaranteed
by the Cbicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Company, and secured by a first mortgage or deed of trust conveying certain property to David Dows, Fred. S. Winston and Calvin F. Burnes, the
terms of which provided that the guarantor should be subrogated
to all the rights ot the holders of the coupons and bonds which
it should be compelled to pay in performance of the contract
of guaranty.
" Prior to the 3d of August the guarantor advanced money in
payment of matured coupons to the amount of $1,369,301, and the
trustees in the mortgage obtained In the Circuit Court of the
United Sthtes, District ol Iowa, a final decree against the Chicago
& Souihwestern Railway Company for $1,571,638, as a firet lien
on said road (subject to rights of holders of outstanding bonds
and coupons of said series uni^er the mortgage), and also the
further sum of $1,340,223 expended by the Chicago Rock Island
& Pacific in the operation of the line over and above amount
received for transportation, &c., the latter being a junior lien.
This judgment and the further sum of $171,828 due for money

hut the market showed a hardening tendency during Tuesday
and Wednesday and yesterday a decided advance was established.
There was an eager, tliough not active, demand to cover contracts,
stimulated by the yellow fever accounts, above alluded to, and
higher prices at Liverpool for arrivals. There was also a growing confidence in the future of the market, "on its merits." The
large home consumption, as revealed by the annual statement of

crop to four million bales, were regarded as likely to reduce our
export to Great Britain from the present crop to much below two
million bales, unless they compete actively with us by means of
higher prices. To-day, there was a general advance of about
1-160., but not much activity.

out most of the past week, and for tlie low end medium grades
there is a further Hnd important advance in prices. The demand
has been moat active for flours from spring wheat, and this,
coupled with their comparative scarcity in sound condition, has
caused the advancj. Rejected extras and low flours have swelled
the aggregate of business, going at a wide range of prices. Flours
from winter wheat have been more salable, but,being in full supply
have advanced but little. Towards the close, however, their
relative cheapness attracted attention, and the liberal deliveries
of spring wheat flour on contracts checked the demand. Rye flour
and corn meal show a'slight improvement. To-day, there was a

kept a large and important class of burers out of the market tor
two days. There was a very brisk movement in prints, and many
makes were advanced in price on aocountof thehigh flgores ruling
for print cloths.
There was a break in ginghams, which labrica
have been sluggish throughout the season, and very heavy sales
were made by means of liberal price concessions. Stagile domestic
cotton and woolen goods were in moderate demand by jobbers for
the renewal oF stocks, which have become broken by the brisk
distribution of the last few weeks, and prices are steadily maintained. The jobbicg trade has been active in all departmentp, bat
especially so in prints, ginghams, worsted dress fabrics, and leading makes of cotton goods, which were freely distributed to
buyers from the Wes', and South, who were largely represented
iu the market.
Foreign goods have been in steady demand and
firm, because of the comparatively light supply. Contracts for
supplying the Government with dry goods for the Indian Bureau
were made in this City, and will require in their execution large
quantities of blankets,
hosiery, &c.

Januiry were made. Prints were in very brisk demand, and
many makes were subjected to an advance of ^c. witliout checking sales, which have been so heavy that agents have no goods
on hand. Gin^^hams were dull until the middle of the week,
when such makes as Lancaster, Amoskeag, Renfrew, Bates, &c.,
were marked down by agents to 9c., which stimulated liberal
transactions. Lower grades of ginghams were also reduced correspondingly, and were freely distributed.
Domestic Woolen Goods. There has been a fair movement
in men's-wear woolens, and, while no large transactions were
reported, there were so many small buyers in the market that
tbeir joint purchases reached a considerable aggregate amount.
Plain beavers and fancy overcoatings were in steady request, and
