POLICY AND PRINCIPLE IN ACCORD.Following clostly upon the refusal of the Supreme

Court to advance the legal-tender test case on the calen-

dar, comes an adverse report of Mr. Bayard's resolution

for repeal of the legal-tender clause to ihe Senate, by a

tie vote in the Finance Committee. The cowardice—for

no milder word quite fits the occasion—which would

stifle all agitation of this subject will not be efftctual,

for the resolution comes before the Senate all the same

for action, the adverse vote having no legiflative weight.

That there are men in Congress who really believe in

advanced inflation doctrines we doubt no more than that

there are demented persons who imagine themselves

kings; there are probably some Congressmen who re-

gard the legal-tender question, in any aspect of it, as a

disturbing one, which it is best for the good of the

country to leave untouched. Such beliefs as these,

however invariably mistaken they may be considered,

are entitled to the sort of respect which sincerity always

commands ; the legislator who acts foolishly, in the

belief that he is furthering the public interests and in

that intention, may be sadly out of his proper place, but

he must be allowed to be doing his duty as he sees it.

But for those who put party expediency first and, out of

sheer time-serving, try to evade the issue on any partic-

ular subject, it is not possible to cherish the respect due

to those who are willing to stand by their opinions. Andsay what we will of the motives actuating this or that

Congressman in the stand he takes on the subject, con-

sidered either on its merits or in its possible bearing

upon the campaign, there can be no extenuation of the

conduct of those who wish to make no stand at all but

to fly before this most wise and harmless proposition, of

which their terrors make a bugaboo.

All this illustrates once more how terribly hard it is

to return to the right path in currency matters after

once having got on the wrong one. Providence has

most kindly saved us from the hitherto invariable last

chapter in revolutionary-paper experiences; ha" given a

succession of bountiful crops, and has otherwise so

arranged circumstances that, to the reverent eye of faith,

the country seems almost to have been led direct to a

promised land of safe prosperity. But there are thous-

ands yet who fight this good fortune; they demandself-deception again, and fluctuations, uncertainty, con-

fusion, and a new crash; and these persons, in Congress

at least, are the courageous and active ones. We thus

see the inexpediency of once getting off the right track,

as well as the present expediency of getting back to it.

But there is another Itsson, so plain that blindness to

it must be wilful, and it is this we have especially in

mind to-day. Assuming that the higher ground of the

public inteiests is of no consequence, and that the

ignoble rule of temporary party expediency is to govern

legislation, it is plain to observant people that ihe ex-

pedient thing and the ri^ht thing coincide. Timorous

politicians fear the Bayard resolution will explode ; in

other words, that it will divide their party, ot that it

will hurt their party with the people. Now, there is

no lack of examples in point. In the inflation

struggles of 1874, terminating with the ResumptionAct, Mr. Thurman stood for sound money, and we tup-

pose nobody doubts that he was and still is at heart afriend of sound finance from conviction; but since then

be has trimmed and bent in yielding to what he supposed

was the popular drift. The result is that he is politic-

ally ruined, and Mr. Garfield, who has never wavered in

52 THE CHRONKJLE. [Vol. rxx;

<he Bound-money faith, has his place as Senator. The

campaign of 1875 was fought in Ohio squarely on the

«arreocy question, and again last year, and inflation was

eoandly beaten both times. We appeal to the record,

fartherniore, in proof of the statement that everywhere

aod every time either of the two parties has stooped to

fondle the rag baby it has suffered at the polls in con-

•«eqaence. It will continue to be so. The conflict is

irrepressible between sound money and unsound, and

the clearest political fact to-day is that the strength of

4he party in power has been its generally firm allegiance

to the former—it has never failed to conquer on that

issue where the issue has been squarely raised.

Nevertheless, with what seems an incredible blindness,

as though those who once adopt inflation delusions were

incapacitated from seeing correctly again, timorous

4)oliticians are still afraid, after the popular verdict

has been given over and over. How can anybody

imagine that the people want this currency ques-

tion—parent and fertile root of uncertainties and dis-

turbances innumerable—to be kept open indefinitely ?

On the contrary, they do most decidedly want it settled

and out of the way of their industrial progress. They

are not likely to be in love with leaders who cannot lead

after the word of command has been given them. They

will admit a debt to the men or the party that performs

for them the signal service of putting this perennial

trouble at rest. There is not to-day, we observe with

regret, a party with a bold and united front on any

«Iear-cut public policy—but here is an opportunity to

make one. A policy and a service, combined, will make

a party, and the expedient thing is to cut loose from

Do-nothingism.

FAILURES IN 1879 AND THE MORAL THEYTEA CH.

A record of failures must always be a melancholy

kind of exhibit. If, however, such a showing could

ever be called satisfactory, the one prepared and madepublic this week by Messrs. Dun, Barlow & Co. wouldbe entitled to come under that head. For by compari-

flon it is made quite inspiriting. The figures in detail

as reported by this enterprising firm we give on anther

page; the totals, however, since the war closed have beenas follows. For convenience we divide them into three

periods—the first may be called the period when we madeour debts; the second the period when we paid them; andand the third (1879) the new start.

No man ever fails so long as he can get his debtor tocontinue to take his promises to pay. If he can devisea scheme by which he shall mark up the prices of hisassets monthly, he can always show property more thancovering his increasing indebtedness. This property canbe changed from hand to hand and ever be security fora constantly augmenting aggregate of obligations. Pre-cisely such a process was in operation from 1865 to1873. In the latter year the general public discovered

that this system mu'^t have an end, and when confidence,

which we may call the bottom brick, dropped out, the

immense cone-s-haped superstructure, built and so nicely

balanced upon it, tumbled, of course. During the next

period we were liquidating, either paying or erasing

debts by failure. This condition came as a necessary

result of the former condition, and any one who will re-

member the previous process as we have recalled it, will

acknowledge that it could not have been averted by anysystem or legislation.

Thus we see why it is that the foregoing statement

shows from 1866 to 1872 (seven years) a total numberof failures of only 20,222 (and if we had included the

years of war the contrast would have been even moremarked), with an aggregate of $583,747,054 liabilities,

averaging per year 2,889 failures and $83,392,436 liabil-

iiies ; while from 1873 to the close of 1878 (six years)

the total was 47,195 failures and $1,200,908,968 lia-

bilitiei",, averaging each year 7,866 in number and$200,151,494 liabilities. In fact there could not be a

more graphic description written than these few figures

give of the forces in operation during those years andtheir results. They bring before us the whole process

—

the persistent rise in values during the first period, car-

rying over from year to year almost all debts anddebtors, thus shifting the day of settlement to the latter

period, of course, however, with constantly and largely

accumulating liabilities; ending, as such a system al-

ways must, with a general liquidation. We simply at-

tempted to scale the heavens with Ossa on Pelion piled,

and failed. Some of the later disasters might have beenavoided by an earlier restoration of confidence, througha speedier return to a specie basis. During the period

of waiting, property and wages fell, until they retained

only a nominal value, no faith being felt in any prices,

however low. For this reason the process has the past

year been reversed, values rising constantly. Had wedebated less, and acted quicker, the extreme depression

might have been obviated, and many that gave out in the

last heat have gone through.

But we have finally turned over that leaf in our

history and begun the new reeord. The total amount of

liabilities reported for 1879 ($98,149,053) varies but

little from the average ($83,392,436) of the seven years

previous to the panic of 1873. This is a wonderfulchange from previous years, and a remarkably favorable

showing. More especially are we convinced of this

when we remember that the system of reporting is nowmore extended and more perfect than in the formerperiod, and, furthermore, that nearly half of the past

year's liabilities came within the first quarter of 1879,

and therefore before the monetary change had fully be-

gun its recuperative work. Below we give the state-

ment by quarters for four years.

There is one other feature of this report which has amoral worth considering. "We refer to the fact disclosed

by it that San Francisco is the only city separately

reported upon in the United States where there has notbeen this year a decided decrease in the failures ; there

the movement has been a retrograde one. To illustrate

this remark we have brought together the following,

which we have taken from the elaborate table given onsubsequent page.

This Btatemetit showB that in the six cities first named

the number of failures this year in the average decreased

to one half the total for 1878, with liabilities amounting

to only about one quarter of the previous year's total;

while in San Francisco there was only a decrease of one

in number, and the liabilities increased about 16 percent.

The nature of this exhibit and its teaching are more

sharply defined if we look back to 1876 and previous to

that year, for we shall thus find that the total failures

jn San Francisco averaged in that period only 80 to 90,

with less than 2:^ million liabilities. Another way of inter-

preting, and thus seeing the full meaning of the last two

years' record, is by the following comparative statement.

This shows that while in all the remainder of the

country only 1 in every 110 in business failed, there

was in California (we have not the figures to give San

Francisco by itself) 1 failure in every 36 in business, and

the Pacific States and Territories, which depend largely

upon California for their prosperity, 1 failure in every

61 in business.

It is scarcely necessary for us to state what moral is

to be drawn from these figures, for it seems to be suffi-

ciently evident. During the past two years California

has been attempting to put fetters around capital; being

in a state of depression, her people have been attempting

by legislation, which shall deprive capital of its natural

earnings, to force prosperity. Do we not, in these state-

ments of failures, plainly see written the results of this

movement ? Cannot our legislators heed the lesson thus

taught ?

PRODUCTION OF THE PRECIOUS MeTal^.The mail has brought us this week the annual circular

of Mr. Valentine, of Wells, Fargo & Co., the tele-

graphic summary of which we published in our last

issue. According to this circular the production of the

precious metals in the States and Territories west of the

Missouri River, including British Columbia, (and receipts

in San Francisco by express from the west coast of

Mexico) during the year 1879 has been as follows.

This shows a steadily-decreasing production of gold,

and abont the same yield as last year of silver. The-

oatlook for 1880 is reported to indicate no increase iik

prodaclion. The totals of Mr. Valentine for previous-

years have been as follows.

vious Mint statements issued since 1874, and gives the

following results of the domestic production of gold andsilver from 1874 to 1879.

In reaching these totals great care seems to have been

used, and the attempt also made to test the results by re-

turns showing the disposition made of the production.

Of course the exports and coinage are a matter of record.

The consumption in the United States is a more difScnlt

problem to determine. But Mr. Burchard has been very

painstaking in his efforts to reach the truth, not only

through public channels of information but also through

circular letters to the manufacturers. The replies to

his circular were of course incomplete, but they forma very fair basis for an estimate. His conclusion

after such examination is that the disposition of the

domestic production has been as follows for the years

named.

I From our own correspondent.|

LoNDOK, Saturday, January 3.

The pa.st week has been chiefly devoted to the balancing ofacconnts, and not much fresh business has been entered into.

The tone, however, is good, and a hopeful feeling with regaird

to the future has been indulged in. Speculation, however, is

not likely to be so active as it was in the autumn, owing to the

fact that prices having risen from a low and depressed to a

more healthy point, greater caution is necessary, more especially

as the country's power of consumption is not great. It is

hoped that with the commencement of a new decade agriculture

will become more prosperous, and that the agricultural classes

will have larger means at their command. For the next fix

months, their po.sition can scarcely improve, as they have to

depend upon last year's scanty crops, the bulk of which are

selling at low prices, while supplies are becoming rapidly

exhausted. It is expected, nevertheless, that the improvement

in our foreign trade will be maintained, and that commerce

with our colonies will assume larger proportions.

The monej- market, now that the annual balances hare been

arranged and the transitory demand has ceased, has become

easier, and the best three months' bills have been discounted at

2% and 254 per cent. In the early part of the week the quota-

tion was 3 per cent or Bank ra,te, but this is usually the case

during the closing days of the year. The Bank return shows

changes incidental to the period, and they possess therefore no

special signiflcance. The complaint still is that the supply of

bills in the discount market is small, and there is certainly no

prospect of any speedy or considerable increase in it. The

improvement in trade has, thus far, been chiefly confined to the

88,887,000 123,550,ioO 113,327,000There has been very little demand for gold for export during

the week, and business in silver has been very quiet, suppliesbeing much restricted. The quotations are : Bar gold, fine,

the same periods, are as follows:18"6. 1S77. 1878 1879

year the rate was very low, and for some time there was butlittle business doing with India; the Austrian demand helpedto support prices somewhat; the quotation, however, continuedgradually to decline until the middle of March, when an activeIndian inquiry set in, and prices steadily rose till May, whenthe German Government entirely withdrew from the market asa seller, and a rapid advance took place to 52Md. per oz. Spec-ulative purchases kept up this rate for a few days, but resalescaused the price to decline gradually to 51^d. in July. Ademand for India then arose; orders could not be filled here,and large amounts were sold in Vienna for shipment at Venice,about £500,000 in bars and florins having been placed, at pricesvarying from 53^d. to 53Md. per oz. This somewhat unex-pected supply coming on a rather sensitive market, caused adecline in values to 52?6d.; at this quotation Austria could sell

no more.

The supplies of silver have been from America, the Pacific,and Germany, but from the last-named the imports have beenonly about £750,000, and nothing has been received since May.The shipments of silver, &c., during the past year from San

Francisco to China and Japan amounted to £1,665,030, as against£2,243,000 in 1878, and £3,383,000 in 1877.The imports and exports of silver during the past four

years have been:

The revenue returns issued during the week for the pastyear are not satisfactory, and are especially disappointing forthe last quarter, there being a net decrease in the receipts of£453.005. Customs duties have fallen off to the extent of£128,000; excise do. £530,000; but there is an increase of £97,-000 in the receipts from stamps, £16,000 from property andincome tax, £76,000 Post Office, £ 10,000 telegraph service, and£9,626 from sundry sources. For the whole year there is anincrease of about £2,200,000, due to an augpiented revenuefrom income tax and stamps. The following is an abstract ofthe gross produce of the revenue of the United Kingdom, in theundermentioned periods, ended Dec. 31, 1879, compared withthe corresponding periods of the preceding year:

It appeai-8, however, that from additional returns the pay-ments to be made during the present or March quarter, beingthe last of the financial year, were £8,592,274, to meet whichthere was it the Treasury on December 31 last £1,883,933,showing a deficiency of £6,708,341. The income tax, however,was due on January 1, and, consequently. Sir Stafford North-cote will be receiving large sums during the quarter.

The directors of the London and Westminster Bank havedeclared a dividend for the past half year of 7/6 per cent, thepayment of which will leave the surplus fund at £1,008,000.The dividend shows an increase of ^ per cent.

The London joint-stock bank has resolved to declare theusual dividend at the rate of 15 per cent per annum. Theguarantee fund has had to supply £16,000 to enable thedirectors to pay the same amount of dividend as last year.

France has, for a long period, been regarded as a fortunate

country, inasmuch as she was supposed to produce everynecessity for existence, and was thus independent. Such, how-ever, is not the case now, as the returns for the first 11 monthsof the past year show a very remarkable increase In theimportation of articles of food and drink, the only articles

which have decreased being live-stock and sugar. The increase

The weather has been much milder, and the temperature is

now more that of spring than of winter. The wheat trade ha.s,

in consequence, been duU, and difficulty has been experienced in

obtaining former prices. Home deliveries continue very moder-

ate, but their are ample supplies of foreign produce. It is

expected that there will be a better demand in a few days, as

millers, according to their custom at the end of the year, pur-

chase sparingly, and about this time their stocks must bo rather

low.

During the week ended December 27, the sales of home-

grown wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales

amounted to 47,048 quarters, against 54,383 quarters last year ;

and it is estimated that in the whole kingdom they were 188,200

quarters, against 217,500 quarters in 1878. Since harvest the

sales in the 150 principal markets have been 544,364 quarters,

against 1,005,391 quarters ; while in the whole kingdom it

is computed that they have been 2,177,500 quarters, against

4,022,600 quarters in th^ corresponding period of last season.

Without reckoning the supplies furnished ex-granary at the

commencement of the season, it Ls estimated that the following

quantities of wheat and flour have been placed upon the British

markets since harvest:

LojJDOir, Saturday, December 27, 1879.

Owing to the holidaj's, business in every department has

t>een upon a very restricted scale, and a decidedly quiet feeling

has prevailed. The tone, however, is tolerably good, but, onthe other hand, doubts are entertained as to the permanenceor continuance of the recent improvement in general trade.

It is now seen that the recovery which has taken place hasbeen largely due to the purchases effected by American buy-ers, at low prices. Those purchases led to considerable specu-

lation, and the upward movement in the quotations was rapid ;

but speculators have been operating with the expectation thatthe American demand would be followed by new business fromother countries— an expectation which has thus far beenattended with disappointment. The state of afifairs in theEast and in Kussia is the chief political cause which haschecked any further improvement ; but there is no doubt ofthe fact that the serious depression in the condition of Britishand Continental agriculture has been largely instrumental inoontracting business. It is very frequently said in this countrythat an indifferent harvest is of but little consequence, asbread is always cheap ; but though one bad harvest may notbe attended by »ery unfortunate results, a series of them can-not but be impoverishing to a large section of the community.This year every crop has more or less failed, and it is the fifthyear of indifferent crops. The farmers are in a state of greatdistress

; many are thinking of emigrating, while landlords,in order to retain them to cultivate their properties, continueto diminish their rents. Naturally, the country is lookingforward to better times. The winter has commenced early, has

been very seasonable, and hopes are entertained that there will

be an early spring. The advantages to be gained from an

early and bounteous harvest would be great, though it would

be too much to expect that, after five years of adversity, weare to enter upon a career of uninterrupted prosperity. There

would certainly be a commencement of a better state of

things, but continuous and heavy losses have to be made good,

and the process of economy must therefore continue. Evi-

dently, the lessons which have been learnt from the recent

period of perplexity and loss, will be remembered for some

time to come, as many difficulties and anxieties have arisen,

and any repetition of them will be avoided. A pause in mer-

cantile business seems therefore inevitable ; but, no doubt, a

fresh start will be made, if there is any reason to believe and

hope that, say in May next, a better result will attend the

farmers' labors.

The money market is firm in tone, owing to the fact that the

requirements incidental to the close of the year ate heavy. These

have no permanent influence, but there are indications of re-

newed ease as soon as they have been satisfied, and especially

as soon as the dividends have been paid. The money market is

disappointing from the fact that there is no material increase in

the supply of mercantile paper—an improvement which has

been looked forward to for some time past, but which has not

been realized. The following are the present quotations for

The price of red spring wheat having risen in New York to

$1 60 per bushel, the trade for wheat in this country has been

very Ann, but business has been restricted in consequence of the

holidays. The weather continues severe, and supplies from

Eastern Europe are certain to be scanty for some time to come.

Hence, American wheat will continue in demand, both on English

and Continental account. American supplies are by no means

unsatisfactory, but European wants are very great, and as there

is no chance of any accumulation of supplies, there is equally

little chance of any depression or relapse in the trade. On the

contrary, the tendency is likely to be towards higher prices as

long as the weather remains severe.

During the week ended December 20 the sales of home-

grown wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales

amounted to 41,787 quarters, against 51,419 quarters last year;

and it is estimated that in the whole kingdom they were

167,250 quarters, against 206,000 quarters in 1878. Since

harvest the sales in the 150 principal markets have been

497,316 quarters, against 951,008 quarters last year, and it is

estimated that in the whole kingdom they have been 1,989,300

quarters, against 3,804,100 quarters in the corresponding period

of last season. Without reckoning the supplies furnished ex-

granary at the commencement of each season, it is estimated

that the following quantities of wheat and flour have been

placed upon the British markets since harvest

The stock markets have been devoid of any important feature

during the week. JIany dealers have closed their books in

anticipation of the end of the year, but the tone has been

scarcely so good. It is probable that when the dividends are

declared upon the capital of public aompanies in a few days,

there will be some, if not considerable, disappointment,

especially amongst the holders of shares in British railway

companies.

The following letter, which appears in the Timet this week,

relating to the state of trade, and in reference particularly tothe iron trade, will prove of interest. The remarks are en-dorsed by many, and describe, I think, a true condition ofthings.

I addressed a word of warning in October last when pig iron iu Scot-land was in a highly excited state, au<l some good, 1 believe, was doucby restraining the spirit of si>eculation which was then at work. May 1

again b<'g space for a further word or two to both employers and em-ployed in the iron trade!

It Is barely four months since we were in the very depths of depres-sion, with suspension of work or llnanctal ruin iu the face of thosewho hatl not already met one of these? alternr.tivcs. The outlook forthe winter was gloomy in the extreme, and not a speck of bluesky could be seen in the horizon by any one. What a clh-uiguslnoc then ! The inn>rovement, the progress, the prosperity, ofthe iron trade Is iu everybody's month, from the puddler'sboy to the Prime Minister. The newspapers struggle forevery scrap of new information which coni'crns it, and everybody feelsthat what was not less than a national misfortune has siuldenly becomea. sulijei'f of national benetit and congratulation. But is it all genuine !

Is the demand real! How much of it is an antieij)ation of wants byspeeuhitivc puicliasi'rsi How nmch is niorely a transfer of stock fromthe manufacturer's overstocked yard to the merchant's emptv store I

How far hii« actual consumption absorbed the production, and how faris it likely to reach the immense extension of production which is goingon on everj- sidel We hear daily of bhist furnaces, mills, forges, foun-dries, all going inio work as ipilckly as rcjiairs can be effected and fireslighted. We arc in a high state of excitement. One buyer is rushingafter another, e.ach advancing the price on him who preceded him ; con-tracts for future delivery are greedily entered Into by eager buyers, anda heated .and rash speculatiou as sndileu as it was unexpected hasfollowed a condition of things which, only four mouths ago, was asdeplorable an<l depressing as can be imagined.

I utterly fail to see Just and reasonable cause for all that Is occurring,and can only look forward with dread to the Inevitable d.ay of soberreckoning. The American demand has been the basis and superstruc-ture of the whole. It took us by surprise and has been an immense gaintons. It was only realized when we saw how nnich America was likelyto win by the bad harvest of Northern Europe; but our misfortune Isthe very reason why Europe cannot follow the American lead in pur-chasing power, although speculators s-em to think so. Our consumersare In no Ix'tter, but a worse, condition for absorbing increased manu-factures, still less Is a Continental demand likely to do so. Poor har-%-est8, with disturbed politics and armed camps full of the peril of war,are rather likely to curtail foreign consumption.At home we have got to pay for our domestic supplies, which will

gradually give ns dearer money.Ourrailway tratlic returns are scanned with impatient haste to m.ark

the signs of home improvement, but except such an Increase a.s cannearly be accounted for by a transference of goods from producers tomerchants, there is little to arouse either hope or speculation.The country may or not be ilisturbcd soon by a goucriil election, but

Bucli an event always disturbs and restrains busuiess.To show wh.at a eliange in prices there has been within four months I

will only give three or four articles as an illustration. Hematite pigiron in August was 198., to-day It is 9158.; tin plates were then 14s. Od.per bo.\ for coke, to-day they are 24s. per box ; bar iron was £i 5s. pertnn. It is to-<lay £7 per ton ; sliip-plates were £5 per ton, and are nowXH 5s.; Scotch pig iron was lOs. per ton, it is to-dav (iOs. per t<ui.

.1}'"."'"''.' '*' "*"'•*' ""*' ""*'*' "" a<'vauce Is without any precedent, and

that If a change of so sudden and vi.dent a character is maintained,much less extended, it will be as remarkable as the change Itself. WhileI can only hoiie in my own interest that it may ho so, I am sure we areall on the road to reaction and disappointment.

Tenders will be received at the Bank of England on the ."ithof January for £1,585,000 in Treasury bills, in the usualamounts, to replace those falling due.

The statement cf Dun, Barlow k Co. of the mercantile failures

in 1879, has just been issued, and it is certainly one of the mostremarkable exhibits of the sort ever made. The total numberof failures in the United States in 1879 was 6,058, with liabili-

ties of 198,149,033, against 10,4^8 failures in 1378 with liabilities

amounting to ^331,383,132. All the years in which failures ex-

ceeded f90,000,COO, from 1657 to date, have been as follows:

drawal of bonds and surrender of circulation by the NationalMetropolitan Bank of this city. This bank deposited $3,200,500in the Sub-Treasury for tlie retirement of the same amount of its

circulation, and wthdrew $3,450,000 in four per cent bonds.

President Seney said that tlie operation was merely a businessone, by which the bank clears a profit of over $90,000, besides re-

ducing materially the onerous tax (one per cent) which it has beenpaying on its note circulation.

The money market has shown decided relaxation, and duringthe past few days rates have been quoted at 3 per cent on gov-ernment bonds, and 4(33 on stock collaterals, a fair range of theweek is 3 36 percent. Prime paper is in demand at 3(g6 percent.The Bank of England statement on Thursday showed a gain

for the week of £119,000 in specie, and the percentage of reserveto liabilities, was 41 13-16 against 39 previous week ; the disjountrate remains at 3 per cent.

The last statement of the New Vork City Clearing-House

banks, issued January 10, showed an increase of $3,^88,575 in .

the ex'.ess above 25 per cent of tlieir deposits, the whole of

such excess being $3,833,400, against $483,823 the previous

week.

United States Bonds.—There has been a strong demand forCiovernment bonds on investment account, and there is but asmall supply of bonds in this market to meet the demand. Thelate reports from Washington indicate that the bill for refundingin 3J per rent bonds has a good chance of passing the House,and that there is a possibility of an ultimate compromise be-tween the different parties on a bond bearing 3'6o interest.

State and Railroad Bonds.—The strongest among the South-ern State bonds have been the Alabamas and the Virginia de-ferred. The first named bonds, as well as other good Southernbonds, are in demand at home, where there is more money for

investment now than there has been at any other periol since

the war.Kailroad bonds are very strong and active, and the investment

demand is pushing up the prices of all old bonds, while many ofthe securities of defaulted and reorganized roads are also in

sharp request.

Railroad and miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock markethas shown an increasing business, with i>rices generally stronger.

There have been some temporary re-actions in the course ofprices, occurring from sales to realize profits, but the undercurrentof the market appears to be strong. The latest report directly

bearing on the price of stocks is that concerning the consolida-

tion of Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific with a large stock divi-

dend on the first-named ; both stocks have advanced materially.

Nashville & Chattanooga is strong on its reci-nt acquisitions, asIt will form a leading trunk line from St. Louis to Savannah. TheWabash & Pacific stocks showed some weakness on Wednesdayand Thursday, but are firmer again to-day. The Missouri Kansas& Texas securities have been active and strong this year, butwho will eventually control the road, is not yet known to thepublic witli certainty. Erie has again come forward and shownsome activity at higher prices. The Western Union stock doesnot weaken much as yet from the threatened opposition of theAmerican Union, although this opposition seems to be gaining

ground to such an extent that it can nolonger be considered in-

significant. The coal stocks have shown some animation, but nogreat advance, and the annual report of the Reading Companyis only favorable in its rose-colored views of the future, and not

In its exhibit of last year's business.

The daily highest and lowest prices have been as follows:

The President's report says; " In view of the greatly im-proved condition of business, the managers have not hi-sitated

to increase the floating debt for the purchase, erection andcompletion of such facilities as seemed to them absolutely

neces.sary, and without which the company would have beenunable prolitably to move the very large tonnage expected in

the immediate future. Since the close of the fiscal year, how-ever, an agreement has been made for an advance for one yearof 70 per cent, or §'3,500,000 upon the $5,000,000 unissued gen-

eral mortgage bonds of the company, coujjled with an option

to take the bonds at a price which will yield considerably morethan a million dollars additional. A large proportion of this

$3,500,000 has already, been received since the close of the fiscal

year, and applied to the reduction of the floating debt, which,

at the close of business on January 10, 1880. amounts to

§6,730,543 of bills payable and call loans to which must be

added |635,015 for outstanding wages certificates, and §301,416

for outstanding certificates for materials. If the option of

taking the $5,000,000 bonds is exercised it will reduce thefloating debt to abo u t $4,500,000.

LE.VSED LINE.S.

Of the various leased lines of railway, the Catawissa Rail-

road shows an increase of earnings of $18,051 ; the Phila-

delphia Germantown & Norristown Branch an increase of

$18,882 as compared with the previous year. The workings of

the Reading & Columbia Railroad Company, including its

leased line to Quarryville, shows an increase of $26,522. ThePerkiomen lease was surrendered and all ownership or control

of that line given up at the time of the lease of the NorthPennsylvania Railroad.

The Express Department shows a net profit for the year of

$59,098 as against $52,335 for the prior year.

The Steam-colliers service show a profit of $3.')8,863 for the

year, as against $232,425 for the piievious year, an increase of

$126,437.The canals show a loss, after payment of rents, of $475,463,

as against a loss of $278,609 for the year 1878, the increased

loss being partly accounted for by the low rates of coal trans-

portation and partly by the extreme drouth during the autumn,which for many weeks seriously interfered with the economicalmovement of traffic.

The President says in his report: '* In the month of Maylast this company took possession, as lessees for 990 years, of

the railroads, properties and plant of the North Pennsylvania

Railroad Company and the Delaware & Bound Brook Railroad

Company, under leases which provide for the payment of anannual rental equal to the fixed charges of the lessors, andannual dividends to their shareholders of 6 per cent for the

first two yeai-s, 7 per cent for the next two years, and 8 per

cent for the remainder of the term. By these leases the com-pany not only secures to itself the future growth of the valu-

able local and suburban traffic of the North Pennsylvania

Railroad, which, in connection with improved terminal facili-

ties, in Philadelpliia, is capable of great expansion, but obtains,

by the Bound Brook Route, in connection with the Central

Railroad of New Jersey, an independent and valuable line for

the transportation of passengers, merchandise, and coal to the

city and harbor of New York, It was expected when the leases

were taken that the first year's business might show a loss of

from $60,000 to $100,000, and that after the coal traflic of the

company was turned upon the new line, all subsequent years

would show a profit. Instead of this loss, however, the actual

loss in working both lines for the first seven months of the

lease has been but $6,708 after payment of all rentals, andagainst this loss there is to be credited a profit of $91,796 rep-

resented by that amount of value of railway supplies andmaterials turned over to the company at the date of the lease

Jakcabt 17, U8C.J THE CHRONICLE. 65

vrithoat charge, bat included in the items of the cost of work-ing the roads as if paid for." In order to provide at once for the Bhipment of coal over

the new line, the wharves of the Delaware Lackawanna &Western Railroad Company at Elizabethport, formerly used bythat company for its coal shipments over the Central Itailroad

of New Jersey, have been leased for three years and put into

order, and the company is now prepared to transport direct,

by its own cars and engines, to the harbor of New York, thelarge amount of coal tonnage which heretofore, at a cash cost

of fully 85 cents per ton, had to be transported over the lines

of other companies. As the actual cost of moving this coal

from Philadelphia to New York over the new line (the entire

expenses of which are already provided for by its own business)

(rannot exceed 40 cents per ton, the difference of 45 cents perton on a yearly tonnage of about a million tons, amounting to

$450,001) per annum, will represent the saving to the companyby the acquisition of the new lines, in addition to the profit

which will undoubtedly be made upon them from traffic otherthan that of through coal to New York."

THE COAL TRADE.The report adverts to the course of affairs in the past year

as follows :

" The price of coal and the rates for carrying coal reached thelowest prices ever before known. In the face of a demand whichfreely took the entire production of the year, it is difficult toreconcile the continuance of low prices with any other hypothesisthan that of a deliberate intention on the part of one or two ofthe companies interested in the production of anthracite to main-tain low prices for the purpose of injuring the credit of theReading Railroad Company. * * *

" In addition to this cause, the low price of coal may also, in

some measure, be attributed to another cause even more repre-hensible, viz., that of stock gambling on the part of those whosopositions enabled them to control the prices of coal with a viewof aiding their operations on the Stock Exchange.* * * "It is

no wonder, therefore, that under such circumstances the priceof coal was kept low, and as it had not until late in the year beendemonstrated that the demand was equal to the supply, theprices of oce-quarter of the product effectually established theprices of the whole, and at one time during the year coal wassold on board vessels in Philadelphia as low as $2 per ton, andin the month of September an auction sale realized for brokencoal, in New Y'ork, a price as low as $1 97M per ton."" Now, however, that it is practically demonstrated that the

demand for the coming year will exceed the supply, the major-ity of the anthracite coal companies, who have been continu-ously striving to make money, can regard with indifference anyattempt on the part of the minority to keep prices below a ratewhich will yield a fair profit to all concerned in the trade.

•' The entire production of 1879 wa.s 26,100,000 tons. It is be-lieved that the lotal possible production of 1880 cannot be over28,500,000, with a strong probability that it will be much less.

As the increa.sed demand for iron works, and other kindred in-dustries, will ab.sorb from one-half to three-quarters of any pos-sible increase of production over that of 1879. it is quite safe todismiss all apprehension about the future of the trade. All thecoal that can be mined and exported will be wanted ; the pricesfixed by any one company need have no influence on those askedby others, and the advocates of low prices and restricted pro-duction can injure none but themselves by putting their theoriesinto practical operation."The bad result of the year's business just closed is due entirely

to the low pnce of coal and the low rates of transportation. Ascompared with the last few years of depression, the averagerates and price realized are shown in the following table :

Av. rate of trans- At. price of cosi\

Net profits $4,200,000

Of this estimate the report says :'• No account is taken in

the above of profits on steam colliers and barges, or of los« oacanals, as the former may be expected to cover the latter.With such an earning power properly established and demon-strated the Company will be able to command money ujion themost reasonable terms, and to extricate itself from all financialdifficulty by funding into some proper, pennanent security altof such indebtedness as must be removed before cash dividendsare resumed. Assuming that the option to take the $5,000,000of general mortgage bonds will be exercised during the nextfew months, there will then remain the following indebtedness,which must be paid or funded before cash dividends are made :

Floating debt, say. $4,500,000Income mortgage bonds 2,21 8,00O( ouiMjn scrip 5,305,733

Total $12,023,733

" To pay this out of net earnings would require from two tothree years of prosperous times, and the shareholdei-s wouldthen be entitled to a distribution of share capital to representthe earnings devoted to the payment of indebtedness, firstdeducting therefrom the present clebt balance of profit and Io.s.1

of $2,104,862. If, however, the improved credit of the companyenables the managers to pay off the entire $12,023,733 out of theproceeds of any new security, the issue of which would notincrease the fixed charges of the company, they would considerit their dut^ to do so, first giving to each shareholder thooption of taking his pro rata portion of such new issue, and, iathe event of the success of such a scheme (which may be con-sidered highly probable), reasonable cash dividends could beresumed."

i^niri • TvA' K •fo"ettling the riot claims, has all been sub-acnbed m Pitt-tburg and its neighborhood, and the amount L to

be increased as additional claims are compromised. The Pull-man Palace Car Company, which has a riot claim for about$80,000, has agreed to settle for $55,000 cash.

American Union Tole^raph.—The American Exchangereports that at the conferences held in Philadelphia betweenthe president and vice-president of the American Union Tele-grapn Company and the officers of the Pennsylvania RailroadCompany, all of the details of the contract "between the twocompanies were agreed upon and it only lacks formal signa-tures to take effect. By the contract the American UnionTelegraph Company acquires the privilege (not e.\clu8ive) ofusing the right of way, wires, poles, buildings and other tele-

graphic facilities of the Pennsylvania Hailroad for a long periodof years. The lines of the American Union Telegraph Companyare said to be in a condition ready for immediate operation,and a formal opening to the public will probably take placenext week."At the present time the American Union Company owns

12,000 miles of wire in the United States between Boston andOmaha, connecting all the principal cities of the north andwest, all of which has been erected since last May. Nothingbut first-class material has l)een used in any direction, and it is

believed that the lines are better than any that have ever beenbuilt. Nearly 40,000 miles of wire have been purchased, halfof which has already been received and paid for, the averageprice for the whole lot being 20 per cent less than the rulingprice to-day, and the same conditions apply to other material.

" In July last about $300,000 worth of stock, out of a capital of$1,000,000 of the Dominion Telegraph Company of Canada,was purchased by the American Union Companj', and in con-nection therewith a lease was taken of the lines and propertyof the Dominion Company for a term of ninety-nine years.This connection gives an additional 12,000 miles of wire to thecontrol of the American Union Company, and includes the con-tract of the Dominion Company for e.tcliange of business withthe Direct United States Cable Company, whose cable extendsfrom Tar Bay, Nova Scotia, to Ireland. The American UnionCompany has, in addition, concluded a twenty years' contractfor exclusive exchange of business with Le Compagnie Fran-caise du Telegraph de Paris a New York, whose new cable waslanded on November 17, upon the shores of Cape Cod, nearNorth Eastham, Mass. This cable extends from Cape Cod toSt. Pierre, Miguelon, and from thence to Brest, France, fromwhich point a cable connects with Penzance, on Land's End,England."

" The first mortgage bonds of this companyare now selling in New York at 104 and acrued interest, and asthese bonds are only issued to the amount of $12,000 per mileon the road and equipment, which has cost much more thanthat amount in cash, and as the local earnings of the road aresufficient to pay much more than the interest, there is no doubtthat this price will advance rather than decrease or even remainstationary.

For the eight years that wehave made up this record, which inclndes road on which trackwas laid during the year, whether opened for traffic or not, anddiffers materially from the figures in Poor's Manual (whichusually include only road open for busine-ss', the miles of newroad constructed have been :

Year. Mi lea.

1876 2,4601877 2,3011878 2,9161879 4,430

Compared with 1878, therefore, last year shows an increaseof more than 50 per cent. At the close of 1878, according toPoor's Manual, the length of railroad in the country was 81,-

841 miles. Adding the mileage constructed in 1879, we havethe grand total of 86,263 miles of railroad in the United Statesat the beginning of the current year, when the total of all

Europe is about 100,000 miles, and of all the rest of the worldprobably not 20,000 miles."

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.Fridat NioiiT. January IG, 1880.

The market* the past week have been dull, so far as relates

to regular trade; and in speculative circles, the operators for a

decline have been encouraged to make a sharp assault upon

Talues, e.speoially of wheat and lard, which have accumulated

in such vast stocks, that holders, with winter wearing away are

becoming anxious to reduce. The weather has been more

wintrj-, but not at all severe. The money market shows

increasing ease., , , ,. . •

The provision market has shown very marked decUnes during

the past week, in sympathy with the Western advices and a

general lack of confidence in the speculative situation. To-day

a somewhat steadier tone was noticeable and quite a heavy

movement in lard reported at 7-92>2@7-95c. for prime Western

on the spot and 8c. for choice ; old, for February, was sold at

7-87 )6c., and new 7-95c.; March, new, 8-07)^@8-05c.; April, new,

8-17>6@8-15c.; seller year, 7-92>6('J>7-87)^c.; refined to the

Continent was quoted at 8-30c. Pork sold on the spot at $12 60@

f12 75 for old mess ; new, for February, was quoted at $13 45@$13 55, and do. for March, $13 55@$13 65. Bacon was more

active at a decline to 7'25@7'30c. for long clear and T)ê. for

half and half.

The latest advices (Jan. 7) in reference to hog packing m the

West state the number of hogs packed at all points since Nov.

1 at 4,319,689, against 4,101,628 the previous week, and 4,901,205

this time last sea-son. The following is a comparative summaryof aggregate exports, from Nov. 1 to Jan. 10:

January 17, I'SO] THE (.^HRONJ(!LK 69There Las been less depression in the cotton market during

the past week, and yet a feverish and unsettled tone has pre-vailed. The statistical position caused, on Monday afternoonand Tuesday afternoon, a demand to cover contracts, whichcarried np prices, especially for spiots and for January deliv-<>ries, the latter selling at one time as high as February-.Much irregularity followed, prices varying widely, but thelater months gradually regained their position as regards tlioearly deliveries. The wide range, however, is caiwing a rapidaccumulation of stocks at this point against .sales for thespring months, there being a handsome profit in carryingcotton at the difference in values. Yesterday there was a dis-position to narrow the range, b^ purchasing the early raontlisand selling the later; and while January was 11 points andFebruary 8 points higher, July and August were only 5 pointshigher at the close. To-day, the close was at some decline, underthe comparatively free receipts at interior towns of th(! South.The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 712,300

bales, including — free on board. For immediate delivery thetotaj sales foot up this week 2,979 bales, including 641 for export,1,G.j8 for consumption, 680 for speculation, and in transit. (Jfthe above, aoO bales were to arrive. The following tables showthe official quotations and sales for each day of the past week:

70 THE (CHRONICLE. [Vol, XXXI

The above B(fure8 indicate an increase in the cotton in sight to-

night of 104,5t53 bales as comparedwith the same date of 1879,

de:reate of 140,833 bales as compared with the corresponding

data of 1878. and a deereoM of 449%99S bales as compared with 1877.

In the preceding visible snpply table we have heretofore only

Included the interior stacks at ihe 7 original interior towns.

As we did not have the record of the new interior towns for the

four years, we could not make a comparison in any other way.

That difficulty no longer exists, and we therefore make the fol-

lowing comparison, which includes the stocks at the 19 towns

given weekly in our table of interior stocks instead of only the

old 7 towns. We shall continue this double statement for a

time, but finally shall simply substitute the 19 towns for the 7

towns in the preceding table.

The above totals show that the old interior stocks haveincreased during the week 4,228 bales, and are to-night 5C,292bales more than at the same period last year. The receipts at theame towns have been 10,191 bales more than the same week lastyear.Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table is

prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each•week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are some-times misleading, as they are made up more largely one yearthan another, at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statementlike the following:

BRE ADSTU PPS.Friday, P. M., January 16, 1880.

There has been an important decline in prices of flour, amount-

ing in most cases to 25@50c. per bbl. The depres-sion has been

most in low grades, which have heretofore been best sup-

ported, maintaining a comparatively narrow range of values.

Production is not large, and at the decline there have been

large lines taken for export. To-day, the market was dull, but

without important decline.

The wheat market has materially declined. Prices gave way

Bharply on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning ;No.

3 spring sold at §1.33, in store ; No. 2 red Winter sold down

to fl.44®$1.44}6. spot and January ; $1.46^@$1.47 for Feb-

ruary, and $1.49 for March ; No. 1 white down to $1.44^ for

February and $1.47 for March. From these figures there was

some recovery last evening, but with some anxiety among

holders, owing to excessive stocks, increasing supplies, and

inadequate demand. To-day the market was steadier, though

quiet, No. 2 red winter closing at $1.47@$1.47?6 for February,

and $1.50@$1.50J6 for March. After 'Change No. 2 red Winter

sold at $1.49M for February and $1.52}^ for March.

Indian com has been rather firmer on the spot, with more

Steadiness in futures. No. 2 mixed sold yesterday at 59M@61c.

in store and afloat; 59Mc. for February and March; but offered

at 58c. for May. Supplies of new corn of near-by growth, are

increasing, causing some irregularity, and widening the range

of quotations. To-day there was no imporlant change. Futures

closed weak. No. 2 mixed selling at 58^c. for February, and 5-:c.

for March.

Rye has declined, leading to more activity, several boat-loads

of prime selling at 93@93>^c. afloat. Barley has been dull,

and prices are more or less unsettled. To-day, 4-rowed state

Bold at 77(g85c. Oats have materially declined, although the

demand is very fair. Yesterday, No. 2 mixed sold at 48Me.

The market to-day was dull and No. 2 graded closed at 47Mcfor mixed and 47^c. for white, with sales of No. 2 mixed for

February at 47)^@48c.

THE DRY GOOD3 TRADE.FiiiDAY, P. M., Jiinuary 16, 1880.

The market for dry goods has displayed a little more ani-

mation the past week, and while the package houses continued

to make liberal deliveries of cotton and woolen fabrics on

account of former orders, there was a material!}' increased

demand for Spring goods by Southern and Southwestern buy-

ers. Prints, printed piques, white goods, quilts, corded and

fancy piques, towels, &c., were severally in improved request,

and there was an active movement in cotton hosiery and knit

underwear, There wa| also a more frequent inquiry for heavy

Januaky 17, 1880.] THE CHRONICLE. 76

woolens by the clothing trade, and orders for heavy union and

all-wool cassimeres, suitings, cheviots, &e., were placed with

agents to an important aggregate. Prices remain very firm, and

some leading makes of brown and bleached cottons, prints,

Kentucky jeans, &e,, were farther advanced during the week.

Do.MESTic (irrroN Goods.—The exports of domestics from this

port to foreign markets during the week ending January 13

were 877 packages, of which 377 were sent to (Ireat Britain, 107

to Hayti, 122 to Brazil, 59 to Mexico, 50 to British Honduras,

&e. The demand for staple cotton goods was only moderate,

but white goods, piques, quilts, and other fancy fabrics were

fairly active. Brown cottons ruled very firm, and several

grades of Atlantic sheetings were advanced Me. per yard.

Bleached cottons were in fair request, and Lonsdale, "Fruit of

the Loom," and other popular makes of shirtings were markedup }^e. per yard by agents. Colored cottons, though inactive,

were firmly held, and several leading styles of cottonades, &c.,

were further advanced. Print cloths ruled quiet but steady, at

4%c. for 64x64's, and 4 7-16@4.^e. for 56!t60'8. Shirting prints

continued fairly active, and considerable transactions in mediumand light fancy prints were reported by such agents as are

prepared to show new Spring work. For ginghams and cotton

dress goods there was only a limited inquiry, and dealings were

light in the aggregate.

Domestic Woolen Good.s.—The demand for light-weight

clothing woolens was mostly restricted to small parcels re-

quired by clothiers for keeping up assortments, but consider-

able deliveries of Spring cas.siraeres, cheviots, worsted coat-

ings, &c., were made by agents in execution of back orders.

Clothiers have commenced operations in heavy union andall-wool cassimeres, suitings, cheviots, &c., for the Fall

trade, and in this connection some liberal orders wereplaced with agents, but transactions were limited bythe meagre supply offered as yet. Overcoatings werein moderate request, but cloakings and repellents lacked animation. Satinets were in fair demand, and many of the most pop_

ular makes continue sold in advance of production. For Ken-tucky jeans there was only a moderate demand, but prices ruled

firm, and some of the best doeskin makes were advanced byagents. Flannels and blankets were in steady request, but selec.

tions were almost wholly of a hand-to-mouth character. Shawlsand skirts remained sluggish in first hands and worsted dress

goods were lightly dealt in.

FoREWN Dry Goods.—The market for imported dry goodshas presented no new features, and business continued quietwith importers and jobbers alike. Hamburg embroideries andlinen goods have received some attention, but there was a verylight movement in dress goods, silks, woolens and other foreignfabrics, buyers awaiting the opening of new Spring importa-tions before beginning operations.

Importations of Orjr Good*.

The importations of dry goods at this port for the week endingJan. 15, 1880, and for the corresponding weeks of 1879 and1878, have been as follows:
