Mr.. Chamberlain, whose judgment against the La
Crosse Road for some 5000 900 was broken by the re-
cent decision of Judge Miller has appealed to the Sd
preme Court at Washington. 1t will probably be three
years before decision can be had. Meantime, the
road, We presume, will remain in the hands of the
trustee under the third mortgage. meeting Of the
bondhoders creditors and stockholders Of this Com
pany will be held at the office Of the Company, No. II
Wall street, on Thursday, 18th inst, at II o'clock to
consider plans for the adjustment of It's affairs and the
completion of its line between GAINESVILLE and La Crosse
Junction. The movement in money was without
change Rates are well sustained. The Banks are not
disposed to lend freely demand, bu.tske all the good
paper offered at 6Q7 y cent. 10 the discount houses
there s no pressure of paper Of rstcass quality and
il passes freely at Cal q cent. Call Loans are say
~ cent. At these rates money is abundant enough on
acceptable cOllaterals.
The Bank Statement Of to-day shows continuance
of the general contraction in the movement Every
item shows decrease. The loans as was Anticipated
are down over million and quarter, the banks in
the endeavor to advance the rate of interest having
called in loans freely. The deposit line, however,
shows that private capitalists have to some extent
taken the place Of the banks Much of the decrease Of
deposits has, however, from the payments into
the Sub-Treasury on the loan. The decrease in the
specie line lie no than was generally looked fer
the California gold going in on Saturday after the
statement was made up. On the whole the statement
is satisfactory inssmuch it shows that bank mana
gers have adopted more conservative course than
the reckless expansion which has been going on for
the past six months, which was rapidly drifting them
toward the rocks of another suspension. The step
they have taken is of true policy, and should be
persisted in. 1t will place them in stronger position,
while under the advanced rates Of interest their profits
will not DO reduced.
