Kefunding the City Debt.

Mr.. EDITOR see by the refunding committees
report that they recommend that the city council
should place the ctys interest in the railroad into
the hands OF trustees security for the proposed
new four per cent. city bonds. Such action would
give the trustees the power to control the city rail
road interests for forty years, and the city would
have no right to represent her stock in the stock
holders meetings. The trustees might then vote to
declare six per cent. dividend on the preferred
stock and place the balance of the rental in sink
ing fund to pay debts and interest thereon of the
railroad company, thereby compelling the city's
non preferred stock to pay all of the note and in
tcrest thereon, held by the city against the railroad
company and to pay the mortgage on the road with
its interest. Can the tax payers of Belfast afford
to jeopardize their property in this manner? Can
not the city's stock be placed as collateral for these
bonds, reserving the city's right to represent and
control her interests. 1t seems to me that this uues
ton, now before the city council, is very import
ant one for the tax payers of this city, and they
should see to it that their rights are maintained.

The monthly financial circular of Hew-
rey Clews q Co., New York, while eX-
pressing some apprehensions as to the
future, presents a very encouraging view
OF our monetary and industrial affairs
For example at has perhaps never hap
pened in the history of a country that
such a remarkable series of circum-
stances has combined to elevate it's cred
it and enhance the value OF it's invest
ments." And further: "The general state
of business throughout the country is all
that could be desired fer the creation of
confidence. Every industry is unusually
active, and generally at high rates of
profit. In most branches of manufacture
it is found difficult to keep up with the
current demand for goods: and the means
of production are being increased III every
directon.' The really weak spot in the
future of the market is thought to lie on
the crop prospectus from present nd-
cations the wheat harvest cannot equal
that of last year. The circular says
Taking the situation as a whole it would at

ant percentage of our late exportable surplus 1t
is also to be taken into account that foreign ad
vices indicate, on the whole good crop prospects,
and clam for Russia, our chiet competitor. the
largest yield OF wheat known for twenty years, so
that the European demand for American wheat
may show an important decrease. The bearings
OF such harvest prospect are not to be overlook
