The bayers of Read- ing are taking ©" otracts on time, and getting the bears short, If gesibie, to a large amount. It will be difficult | do this, for sellers are shy, and not disposed * 5 put themselves in such # position. There too much margin for arise in the stock, end t' 46 company will show such an augmentation of’ esources, that the market valueof shares must ‘ge evhanced. The last report of the Reading Rail- -woad company should be carefully analyzed before either buying or eelling the stock. Sellers, or those who may now be diepozed to sell the stock short, should see if there is not an intrinsic value to it, meat enough to overcome the general prejudice of the timid against ali railroads, and to place prices copelderably in advance of those now ruling. There is not another railroad company in the country, the reports of which are s0 clear and conclosive in their reeulte. The Dusiness of the company, as illustrated in its last report, exhibits a system of checks and balances in all its departments, with bookkeeping so minute and accurate that it may justly be considered asa model for all who desire perfection in registering the daily transactions of a large corporation. The report shows every dollar that has been received, from what sources, and for what services; and every dollar that has been expended, and for what pur- pose expended. In a word, every transaction of the company, from the largest to the most inconsidera- bie, is exhibited under the sppropriate head, and the result of the year’s business in each is contained in the tables published. These tables, most accu- rately kept, contain information of inestimable value to the great railroad interests of the coun- try. It is drawn from the daily transactions of the company, and can be relied upon as strictly ac- curate. We do not recollect to have seen avy report of a railroad company where every species of informa- tion connected with its business was so thoroughly classified, and so minutely and correctly registered, ‘The transactions in Cumberland to-day were some- what larger than usual. The dividend question has not yet been settled. The regular monthly meeting of the board of management will be held to morrow, ‘Wednesday, when the matter will probably be dis posed of. The probability is that a dividend will be declared. The debt maturing next year can be carried forward toa more remote period, and the seneta in hand appropriated to the payment of a dividend. The most important question for the oom pany to consider, is the possibility of continuing the payment of regular semi-annual or annual dividends. That the company have funds enough in hand to pay a fair dividend on ite capital imme diately, there is not the slightest doubt; but the stockholders have no guaranty that these payments will hereatter be regular, or that the stock can be considered @ permanent, dividend-paying invest ment. The debt should, in our opinion, be first dia- posed ot, and the best disposition to make of it isto Fay itand put it outof theway. It may be easily carried forward a year or two, butit may then be more troublesome than it is at present, and the company not as able to manage it, when dividends are looked for. Now the company is free. The pay- ment of dividends has no} bsen commenced, and founds are accumulating in the treasury. When dividends commence, it will be more difficult to ac- cumula‘e asurplus, and the debt cannot be so well provided for. The best policy to pursue is to pay debts first and dividends afterwards, unless the debt ia fanded at long dates. Nicaragua fransit was firm to-day. We understand that this compsny have reduced the fares to and from California, and will on the 20th of April become a competitor with the Panama line, and leave port on the same day. This will bring up all the old opposition, and give a great impetus to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific States and Territories. The Nicaragua Tran: sit Company have an advantage over the other line, by the cheapness of its equipment, the difference in the distance, and the speed with which the entire trip can be performed. There were large sales to- day of Hmois Central Bonds, at an advance. Most of the sales appear to be speculative. The bulls and bears are carrying ona spirited contest in this secu. rity, and considerable generalahip is exhibited on both sides, and both parties will be, without doubt, wuflerers from time to time, more or less. The pub- Tic mind has been considerably agitated by the ap- pearance of several pamphlets, reviewing the com. pany’s affairs, and pointing out their weakest points. These publications sre made, without a doubt, for stock-jobbing purposes, and, there. fore, lose much of their point and chara:ter. Those who contemplate purchasing bonds of the Tiinois Central or any other railroad company in the country, aré very apt to look into the matter for themselves, and act upon the information ob‘ainei. With all these precautions they make mistakes enough, bat have no one to blame but themselves. Western railroad stocks are daily sold in small hota. ‘They are all, with one exception, below par, and their dividends have dwindled down to the smallest Tate. Several companies which used to pay five per ‘cent or more semi-annually, have passed their rega- Jar dividend day and are nowhere. State stocks aro peddled out daily in small lots. Prices do not fluc- tuate more than a fraction from week to week. One of the finest and steadiest stocks on the list is Can- ton Company. There appears to be no speculation going on in it, and the transactions are pretty regu- Jar in amount. After the adjournment of the board the following sales of bonds and stocks were made at auction by Simeon Draper :— $2,000 Kenosha City Railroaa bonds, 7s,.int. added 45 7,000 Finshing Railroad Ist mortgage... do, 6914 4,000 Obio and Mississippi 2d mortgage. do. 54 80 shares Canandaigua and Elmira Railroad. 5 do. Granite Fire Insurance Company. 60 do. Third Avenue Railroad...... 2 do. Pacific Mail Steamship Company. At the second board the market opened weak, and closed at a decline. Cumberland Coal fell off 4 per cent; Erie Railroad,}; Reading Railroad, 4; Hudson Railroad, j; Cleveland and Toledo, 3; li- mois Central bonds, 4. Any advance in fancy stocks appears to be but temporary. The street has to carry the whole movement. Very moderate aid from outsiders would give a great impetus to prices and to speculation, and the brokers would be much strengthened. There are, however, no indicatiyns of such a favorable character, aod we must be con- tent with the usual flactnations. The transactions at the Avsistant Treasurer's Cffice to-day were as follows:— Received . Payments for Assay Office. OO esa seneeeee + The steamship Baltic, from this port for Liverpool to-morrow, will take out about eight hundred thou sand dollars in specie. The demand for foreign ex change to-day was only,to a moderate extent. Wo qucte bills on London at 94 a 93 per cent premiam; on Paris, 5f. 133 @ 5f. 114. Mr. A. H. Nicolay will sell to-morrow, Wednes- day, at 12} o'clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange, by order of John Orser, sheriff, one hundred and eighty- seven shares of the Third Avenue Railroad. The Miners’ Journal, at Potteville, sa: The rates of toll Sxed by the Reading Railroad Com- rays thirty cents higher than the opening rates of . They are the same rates charged after July 1, 1864, except deduction of ten per cent per ton to ig Mill, and the different points above on the line of brig Ag It in needless to state that these high rates, at the oj of the trade have causod a deep foeliag ot opponon rongbout this entire revion—and there is Py determination to submit quietly no longer, ‘The rates by canal we have not yet received: but pre- mame they W! $114,628 00 + 446,00 bee making the toll $1 to We rosy ‘he te Soi a ty oa fe wl are making arran, for the trans! it of veoal Trom ‘the bosts at Philadelphia, for distant markets, in order to increase the boat capacity on the lime of canal.

The Judiciary Committee of the New York State Ascembly have reported in favor of modifying the usury laws te the extent set forth in the following bill :— Section 1, The rate of interest upon the loan or for- bearance of any money, goots or things in action, shall continue to be seven dollars upon one hundred dollars for one year, and after that rate for a greater or less sum, or for & longer or shorter time; and it shall not bo lawful for any person or corporation directly or indi- rectly to take or receive in any manner, any greater sum or value for the loan or forbearance of any money, goods or things in action, than is above prescribed. Sec. 2. No promireory note, bill of exchange, or other contract or security, shall be void by reason of reserv- ing, or an agreement to pty or allow more than the rate of interest named in the first section of this act; but whenever in any action it shall appear by the pleadings and proofs that a greater rate of interest has been di- rectly or indirectly reserved, taken or received by or on account of the bill, bond, note or other subject matter ‘of the suit, the plaintiff may recover the principal and interest at the rate named in the last section of this act, ‘and no more; and the defendant shall recover his full costs against the plaintiff. Sec 3, Every person or corporation taking or receiving, directly or indirectly, any greater rate of interest than that named in the first section of this ast, hall be hable to an action for the excess of interest thua taken, by or in behalf of any person oF party paying the same; and the prevailing partyin such action sball be entitled to full coats, without reference to the amount of the re- covery. Seo. 4. Lo much of title third, chapter fourth, and part second of the Revised Statutes, and so much of the laws of 1837, chapter 430, as are inconsistent with the pro- visions of this act, are hereby repealed. Sec, 5. This act shall take effect immediately, The Wisconsin Banking Law was pagied by popular vote, and is therefore not so liable to legis- lative tinkering. In liou of State stocks, firat mortgage bonds issued by Wisconsin companies may be taken to the amount of fifty per cent of the circulating notes. Tnese bonds are receivable at not over eighty per cent, and not exceeding one- half of the cost of the road upon which they are a lien; United States and State stocks (including California) receivable at par, being equal to six per cent per annum interest—the rate being sustained by the market price in New York city six months previous. There are at present one hundred and fifty men employed on tne Saut St. Marie canal. Tnere about 2,500 yards more of rock excavation to do, some 8,000 yards being already completed, which is claimed as extra work. There remains about 5,000 yards of dredging, including two coffer dams, to complete. The contractors have taken off the slope on the outside of the canal for several hundred feet at the heod of the portage, thus affording a much easier access to vessely. It is expected that the whole work will be in order for the passage of ves eels by the opening of navigation. The Rairoad Record ssys that the Supreme Court of Tennessee has decided the bond cases in favor of the railroad companies. About a year sicce the county of Davidson (in which is N: ville,) subscribed liberally to various railway com- panies, as did several other counties. In the mean- time, the County Commissionersef some of these counties raised the question of legality, which had to be submitted to the Supreme Court. ‘The Supreme Court has decided the Davidson and 3um- ner County Bond cases in favor of the railroad compa- The Davideon county case involves million of jars, being the rubrcription of the county to the Nashville and Northwestera Kailroed, of $300,000; Lou- isville and Nashville Railroad, of $300,000; Kigefieldand Kentucky Railroad, $200,000; Tennessee and Alabal $200,000, The Sumner county case is a subscription o soe 268292,950 $300,000 to the Louisvilie and Nashville Railroad. This decision will, we presume, secure the success of the and the Louisville roads.

As the markets of this country are used for such vile liquors, the probability is that the con sumption of this mixture of g20d port and sour wine will take place on this side of the Atiant!c:— Some circumstances which came to light several weeks back regarding an adroit system of plunder carried en in one of wine vaults of the Londom Docks are yet ecca- pying the attention of the directors. Ihe details of the care are still involved in mystery; but, as f hi have been upravelled, they are represented to lows:—At the last rammage sale of the St. Katharine’s Docke a quantity of very bad sour wine, amounting to forty-one casks, was bought aod immediately removed by the purcbaser, under the usual regulations, to the London Docks, where it seems to have been bonded and warehoured in a perfectly Goel wanner. After it had remained in the London Decks for some time, iaforms- tion was given to the Customs that the whole of the sour wine had been taken out of the forty one casks, aad that port wine, of an exellent quality, had been substitued in its place. Upon anexamination being instituted, this singular statement was borne out, but us to the mioner n which the change had been effected, or the way in which the sour wine had been discharged, 00 evidence transpired. ‘The suggestion made by 'per- sons familiar with the dock system is, that the par- ties in the plot must have contrived’ to get them- selves locked into the vaults at night, and thea have taken small quantities from the various flae ports belonging tothe principal merchants, putting the sour wine to supply the place of the portions thus taken, or starting it through the drains of the vault. The east vault, where the transaction took place, is between four and five acres in extent, and contains upwarde of 20,000 pipes of wine; a very small pillage from each pipe would therefore suflice to fill several casks. The protit of the substitution ia reckoned to bout ten t mes the amount of the grt of the sour material originally vatted and a large outlay could therefore be afforéed to purshase the collusion on te part of subordinate servan's of the company. Whether such collusion has existed is not known, but the Dock Company, who have acted with spirit ‘and promptitude, have discharsed the whole of the men engeged about the spot at the period, and have also offered a reward of £100 for any evidence that may lead to a conviction. By what method the Customs’ informer came to a cognizance ot the affair, no ‘one knows, but the crown as well as the Dock Company, ngaged in the investigation, and there may pro ably have been imperfect supervision om both sides. In the present case, no loss has been sustained by the revenue the only sufferers being the merchants, but a differant result would ensue if the practice were attempted to be applied so a to substitute wine for brandy, the former being exported and the latter being taken into the Lome market, Stock Exchange. ‘Tvrspay, March 4, 1855. 138 ahs Penn Coat Co 101 50 Cum Coal Co. bi 400 do. . f 600 Louisiana 674. 1000Califormia?'s,’70 89 1000 Har 1st mrg bas 9034 8534 5000 Erie 4d mrg bds 9934 1000 do... 20. 99 1000 Erie bnds of 83 90%¢ 12000 Erie bds of °75 84 10000 do......83 8434 5000 do.....b20 8436 10000 CRRbds.060 75’ 8500 © do é & Rk 16 she Merch Banh 128 5 Bank ot America 110% 26 Bk of Commerce 108 65 do... 66 Nor Ind R&.. 84 Ner Ind Con,.., 60 Cl, C & Cin RR,, 102 80 74 50 Cl'& Tol RR. 00 do. . 60 do sesvveee 73K 5 Ch & Rook ial RR 86 t SEC BOARD. $1000 Ind State 5’s., 804g 200shCam(1Co.b60 3414 2000 do......., 80% 100 do b3 34 10000 Virginiaé’s.b30 953; 100 Ills Cen RR..#10 9614 30C0Frie Con bs ’71 793g 100 do.....810 97 2500 Cen RRbde 753; 25Gal& Chie RR., 99 1000 NY Cen RR bds 90 « 4 300 Erie RR.... 50 . do... 200 Reading 50 Hadson Rive 10 Michigan 8o RR 100 Cleve & Tol RR..
