Congressman Anderson, OF the com.
mittee to investigate the Reading rail-
ro,d strike, has prepared . bill designed
q brinr the railroads Of . state under the
ccatrol of Congress, a. we'll as those
which extend from one state into another,
end which fall under Its control as ma
tional highways. 1t seems that an act OF
Congress passed 10 1866 gives to all steam
railroads in the country the privilege Of
curying goods and passengers between
the states, and for that purpose TO cor
noct with all other .roads. Mr.. Ander-
sons proposition is to amend this law
90 - to confine its privileges to such
railroads ~ will agree to accept the re.
strictive legislation Of the United States
In the proposed bill, as binding on them,
though they are railroads within state,
and 10 not primarily subject to the
United States authority. He thinks that
The privilege of INSTRUMENTATION be-
tween the states will be so valuable to n
railroad that it will not hesitate to
accept the United States legis-
lation; and he is doubtless right
as 10 the great railroads that are the chief
offenders. They cannot afford to be
stopped on the borders Of state with
their traffic. Railroads, however, have q
habit OF going under divers names and
organizations ia different sections and OF
continuing their business over leased
lines, which might embarrass the United
States In undertaking to constrain them,
and there might perhaps be q question
raised % to whether the powers given
BY the act of 1866 could be summarily
taken from those who have assumed them.
II the state railroads can be brought
under the grasp Of Congress, Mr.. Ander
sons bill proposes to forbid their engag.
ing In mining or manufacturing products
which are to be carried over its lines as
freight; 1t forbids the pooling with other
railroads, and puts road that ceases op.
GRAFTON for period Of seven days, into
the hands of receiver. These regula.
ti0ns, we understand, are intended TO ap-
ply to all steam railroads doing business
In any way between the states, whether
by connection with other railroads, or by
their own lines.
The provision forbidding railroad com.
panies to be also mining and manufac-
turing companies is sound one, and Is
recognized in the Pennsylvania constitu-
tion. 1t is Ineffective here because there
y not vigor or virtue enough in the state
administration to enforce 1t. The legis
lature will not provide the needed penal
ties; and IL they did, the officers Of the
state would hardly enforce them. The
power Of Congress and the independence
Of the national executive officers is
greater and if Mr.. Anderson's bill bios.
SONS into law, Its influence may secure
the confinement OF railroads to their
legitimate business, WHICH is q consum'
nation to be greatly desired.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The interruption Of business by holiday of
general observance cannot be accurately measured
and il may fully account for the slaclIening re-
Gently observed. The bank exchanges at all
points last week. lacking one day, were about
as much below those of the corresponding week
last year as the clearings of the previous week
had been in excess of the corresponding week
last year. in which Thanksgiving fell The
changes for the month show slight increase out
side New-YoTll and decrease here of "a per
cent. which may be attributed to shrinkage in
speculation. On the whole, therefore, while
there has been much depression i'll speculative
markets, the evidence tends to prove that the
volume of other business has been quite as large
during the past month, in spite Of the Presidential
election and the consequent excitement, as it was
in the same month last year. The spectators
arc having reaction which is natural enough
in view of the activity prevailing for some pre-
vious months. But the current of legitimate
business flows with scarcely any diminuton in
its Nolume.
Similar evidence is given by railroad earnings
which, in spite of recent cutting of rates, come
quite close 10 those of last year for three weeks
of November. Exports from New York, notwith-
standing the great decrease in brcadstulTS. are
substantially largo for the past month as they
we're last year, and IN imports here the decrease
has been sc per cent for five weeks. The bread

small A ltte whca, went TO Portugal, but TO
all ports only $4,000 bushels in four weeks
against 40, 3l3 last year, and only 5C3, 900 bar
rcls of -four against 007, 746 last year, though
there an increase of Il 49, 900 bushels in corn.
The cotton movement has become large, exports
exceeding for November those Of last year by
about $4,000 bales IT. view of these facts the
total valnc of exports seems to indicate a marked
improvement IN the trade in less important ard
miscellaneous Products.
Gold has not stopped going out, sl,sj0, 900
having been shipped during the week. although
the merchandise movement is large, partly because
this is an easy market through which foreign
bankers supply South American demands but yet
more because foreign investors are not treasured
