———$S——— FINANCIAL AND COWMEROL. | te i ee A Plethora of Capital With- out Use. i RAILROAD INVESTMENTS AND DEFAULTS. —-——— e-_——- State Bonds---A Review of the Closing Prices of the Market. WALL STREET, } MONDAY, Feb, 22, 1875. f Ivisa@ fact which bears siguificantly upon the Anancial situation that on both sides of the Atlan- si¢ and in ail the large money centres may be witnessed the anomalous condition resulting [rom am abundance of capital yet unemployed and a prevailing depression in trade, Whether the cause for this peculiar state of affairs exists alone im America or Europe, or ts common to both coun- ties, 18 a comprelensive question that need not be here discussed; but the ablest political economists agree that while the commercial world is under the influence of such vast monetary changes as &re observable in France and Germany capital will continue to reflect more or leas of the fever- \Ishness thus engendered. When France recuros tospecie payments and its bank can give to the | world @ portion ol its present immense hoard; when Germany suspends its withdrawal o! gold for coinage purposes aud completes its new sys- tem of circulation, capital may enter upon anew Career, and, in suffering less from RAPID FLUCTUATIONS, tnduce greater confidence among vhose who In- | vest either in speculation or legitimate trade. America, however, bas contributed nota little to the unsettlement of the financial situation. We have “gone to protest” on an immense amount of Promissory notes, In the single item of raliroad bonds the sum in default since January, 1874, reported on high authority at the extraordinary Ogure of $567,028,639, and the number of com- Panies in default at 122, On the American bonds held abroad the amount said to be ‘in default is $148,000,000! Is it not natural that, under such a condition of affairs, distrust shoul@é be excited and the capitalist shrink from incurring further Tesponsibility? From a statementin the Econo- miste Francais of the 23d January we find that the total investments of capital in 1874 for rail- roads are reported at $466,000,000 against $964,000,000 1a 1873. a decline of more than one- half, In England the railway, enterprises were otfered capital during the year 1874 to the amount 01 £21,194,000, of which sum the new railroads at- tracted only £4,010,000, while the older companies received £17,184,300, These FIGURES SPEAK VOLUMES iu illustration of the thought that everywhere in civilized Christendom the speculative mind has undergone a change with reierence to values, and ls guided by greater caution than ever in the se- lection of investment schemes, Bee the etfect in the gradual “ary rot’ of certain active speculative shares, and still another phase ofitin the strength with which reaily good se- curities like government and the old dividend paying bonds are upheld. Yet the same general uncertainty, the same locking of capital that is ubservable in Europe, will continue to exist here, until, in the grand round of events, stagnation is succeeded by business activity and the opening of the monetary reservoir, Gradually the country is moving to this point; but it is everywhere evi- dent that when we start afresn it will be upon a lower pressure. Asan inflated currency and the mad use of it have produced depression, so will a return to sound financial principles and the re- demption of the pledges of the public taitn produce strength. Millions of workers are in the field Waiting upon this process of change, and when at last sometbing like real values have been reached Caplial will move hand in hand with growth, and we shallenter upon @ new cycle of financial and commercial prosperity.

Jacob’s first great | failure, according to Mr. Varley, was when he conspired with his mother to deceive his father. And then see, gaid Mr. Varley, how this reacted upon him during the subsequent tweuty years. He Kever saw bis Mother again; he jell into the hands of bis grasping uncle Laban, of Padan @wife,and then excused the deception by the most biting sarcasm that the speaker ever read :— “Lt must not be so done in our country; it may be | done in your country; and you, Jacuv, have had | something to do with aecepticn, whereby you rob- | bed your vrother of bis birthright.” But some one | says the promise was made to Jacob, Very well; the time and manner of its fulfilment should be | leit to God, who made the promise. Jacob was rightly named—supplanter, or deceiver. He Kept up this spirit o: deception during his twenty years’ residence In Nis uucle’s house, and 8o little religious influence did be exert over tne betoved Racnel at ner departure stole away her father’s gods, The same s/1rit of deception is ap- parent in the separation of his flocks tuto nine divisions, and his present to vis brother Esau; and the ridicuiouspess of the latter's 400 armed men When they saw the two brotuers weeping on | eacn otuer’s Leck Was vividly pictured by Mr. Varley. Jucob’s wrestle with the angel was, ac- cording to the speaker, rather a wrestle of God With tim to subdue bis will and to induce him to coniess Nis sin, He had offered a very nice | Prayer, but there was no confession of his decep- uon in it. One link Was missing. ‘What is thy name?” asked the angel. His auswer supplied the missing liunk—‘Jacov, the deceiver, toe sUj- planter.” Contession having now been made tue Lord answered him, called Jacob, bat Israel shail be thy name.” No Jonger the deceiver, but the prince. If oue nignt Wita God can produce such results, Mr. Varle: wondered why Cuoristians, and especially wiuis- ters, were not oltener alove with Him. It was decided to bold a memorial service next Monday morning ior Dr. Brown. The preacaers subsequentiy went to tae Central church, where they heid a conference and tovk action 10 regara tothe death aud funeral of their brother, win whose remains a commitiee went to Vermont With the family.

It is not expected, however, that the trouble is altogether over, for the im- mense mass of ice (which has obtained extraor- dinary thickness) in the Hudsou at and above Yonkers will, when it breaks up, as it must, under the warm rays of the sun, within a few days, cause @ great deal of inconvenience, if it does not result in serious damage to the sbipping.
