The departure from this port means tha'

STATE Of the Market.

The advance proofs Of the Weekly Financial
Review issued by Henry Clews 4 Co. today
saws: The financial markets continue disturbed
and excited So far as respects money there
has been some improvement. but it has been
rather in the spirit prevailing among the banks
than in any increase in the funds available for
loans or discounts.
The stock market has been unsettled and
widely fuctusting. The ''bears' have sum-
moned their whole force Of attack. employing
every resource of rumor and canard and assail-
ing almost every important stock on the list in
detail. Purchases for investment, however, are
certainly on the increase and boarded money is
gradually being turned into the dividend-pay-
ing stocks.
The silver question has now but partial in
fuence upon the course Of affairs, for the
reason that it is taken for granted that all
danger from that source will be eliminated by
the early action Of Congress upon the Sherman
act. 1t begins, however, to be more clearly ap-
preciated that following that action. something
should be promptly done to give greater elias
ITCHY to our bank circulation. With view to
that end recently suggested to the controller
of the currency that the national banking laws
should be SO amended as to admit Of notes being
issued up to the full par amount Of the bonds
deposited. and that also the banks should be
permitted to issue a further amount Of circula-
ton up to IS per cent of their surplus The
surplus funds over capital Of all the national
banks find now amount to about S230, 00O,
900. which would admit OF issues Of notes az
gregating S172. 000, 900, which. added to the in
crease that would come from the other sug-
gested source. would permit an increase Of
close upon $500 ,000. 600 in our national bank
circulation. The backing of these notes in
cash or its equivalents would constitute the
most solid kind Of security, especially as the
funds would be placed under the custody Of the
controller Of the currency.

THE READING RAILROAD
It 10 Announced Will Lose the New Eng

- Announced VIII Lose the new Eng

HARTFORD, CoSx.. July pam apparently
authentic rumor prevails that tho Philadelphia
and Reading railroad is to lose the Philadel-
phis, Reading aud New England railroad (old
New England and Connecticut Westerly August
l. 1t Is stated that the engines Of the Phila-
delphia and Reading have been ordered of
the Philadelphia, Reading and New England
railroad on that date. The Phi ladelphia and
Reading acquired control OF the other road by
guaranteeing the interest on the bonds II de-
faulted payment OF the May coupons, and the
bondholders have apparently taken steps to
Gust 1t from control. The road will probably
pass into the control Of the Central railroad OF
New Jersey. which controls by lease the Lehigh
Valley anu Hudson River railroad. the connecting
link between the Central railroad Of New Jer-
sew and the Connecticut road. This fact gains
credence from the fact that W. E. Bailey, the
now superintendent Of the Philadelphia, Read
ing and New England road continues to hold
his old position Of master Of transportation Of
the Lehigh Valley and Hudson River road.
