The rolling stock is In good order, capable of trans

Considering the 'unsettled and depraved condition of :
the coal trade during the early part of the season, and
the utter stagnation produced by the distrust and MB
eultiesof the hut few months, the . managers feel that
this result of the year's business cannot, till to Move
attlefeetory to every one Interested In the Comrany. •
To the bondholders It gives assurance of the safety of

stratus the firm basis upon which Ow, value of their
property is founded.
A abort examination of the peculiar eireuinstancee
thathave governed the coal trade Awing the pest two
years will show that the falling off In tonnage and re
obits has proceed's:llmm eanses disconnected from the
operations of Railroad.
In the last annual report it was shown that the de
cline In the business of that year, arose from the fact
that the supply of coal from the net regions aridity new
avenues that came into operation in the 'piing of 1866,
had not been met by soy corresponding Increase cf eon
. =menu, and that the lutstety for badness had led to
*competition which resulted In the reduction of the
price of coal. in many instances. below the cost of pro-
Outten. and deranged thermal rates of transportation
by different router.
The trade closed ha • very depressed state; but as the
amaturption of coal has seldom remained stationary
during two consecutive 'years, It eau confidently moo
ted that this year there would be an increased demand
to compensate tor • the stagetathee of the previous one.--
The trade, however, opened In the spring as It closed In
the autumn—larger stocks rmairmd over than had been
calculated upon, and tt soon became appppaareeennt that the
coons of the trade would he se unsntlmetory as It bad
been during the previous year.
• Prices because unsettled, and the rates of faded and
toll were charged without much regard to the anal dif
ferences heretofore considered potential to secure a kir
equality between the different transporting companies.
Our rates for the year bad been pubUsbed,and It became
e question whether tt would be better to enter into the
competition for tonnage at reduced rates, or to risk some
diminution of it by continuing it uniform rate of freight
and tolls throughout the year.. It soon beams apparent
that thine would not be any great Increase of emetics p•
lion. and as the only chance for regularity in the trade
eau in the stability of the rates of transport, the latter
course was adopt ed .
Until the end of July, this policy was justified by the
amount of tonnage and profit derived from it : and there
appearedevery probability that the calculation of the
Anino would be malted before tbrend of the season.—
with the monetary crisis, however, this hope disappear- I
ed; as mills stopped work, and furnaces were blownout,
consumption rapidly decreased. and the genera! distress
that aims upon the community, caused a very sensible
diminution in the demand kr private purposes.
The business of the operators upon the road suffered
raverely in common with other mercantile latercets,aod
was almost prostrated by the general destruction of con
fidence' and credit These diftletiltles arising so sudden
ly and Unexpectedly, were met by the dealers with great
determinatiou. and no one branch of the commercial
istrna - runny has shown more cal strength than those
who an, engaged in a traffic so largely affecting the in
terests and prosperity of this city and State.

payable half yearly, sell convertible into the stock of
the Company at any time prior to tat July, 1885. TO al
curs these bonds, the managers have given to trustees a
mortgage upon all the property and nseehiaes of the
ComParly, which has been duly executed and recorded.
.errAs suggested In the last annual report, the loan
ed by the new mortgage Is for seven millions of dot
last Of this sum, It is propomd to Jesus, it prraent,
only a trallielent amount to fund the doting debt of the
Company, and to use the remainder only as opportunity
shall offer, for the settlement of the bonds maturing in
the year len
Thom new bonds have been offered by the managers
-in settlement of the liabilitiso of the Company, at 70 per
tent.. and a large amount has already been taken and
contracted for; some holders, however, have Preferred to
renew their notes until next summer ; suffleent pro.
Imes has been made by thew settlements and renewals
to remove the dangers of the licatlng debt, and every ere

poraryambarrasament which was produeed+neexam
pled eommercial distress. These renewed will be
paid one of the Imam. Ifboods cannot be sot or wets
realised in time to meet them.
The managers are of opinion that no dividend ,horrid
be paid while any destine debt is outstanding. Row
long it may remains ter this mimeo mustdepend upon
the sale of bonds and satiation of Outs; but there Is
no reeStrl to doubt the settlement of all the fkoting li
abilities of the Company In the course of thls year. •
It Is expected that the accruing income of the Com
pony will prevent the necesaity for the issue of any new
notes, except for materials, These are generally taken
by the banks from their customers. and they will be die
penned with altogether, as soon as practicable.
There will not, for some time to cone. be such ate. Is,
evens of busters u to require an extension of the pre
sent facilities of the, Company; and no nemesity toy
new outlays of money In thattempect will arise. The re-
laying Le, of roadway will be provided by an hemmed
appropriation for renewal purposes, and the new depoll
in the city and at Reeding can be postponed until lands
an be provided farthest In advance. • •
In accordance with the resolutions peened at the last
meeting by the stockholders, the managers have contin
ued to extend facilities to the Lebanon Talley Railroad,
in order to Insure It" early completion. It has been de
flayed by circumstances beyond the control of either
Company. Its completion Is now seeund,and the trains
will. by the end of January, be running to Harrisburg,
though the alteration of the Canal will not becompleted
until March, so as to permit a junction with 'the Rail
roadithat meet there. Upon 'consulting as to the best
mode of working that toad, It appeared that there would
be considerable difficulty In arranging terms of any
lease to meet the contingencies that might arise In a
new line, and it was at last concluded, after much dellte•
oration, that a consolidation of the two Companies would
be the beet arrangement for their mutual interest. This
Company owned already en much of , the stock and bad
such a heavy claim - upon the other, that the „only real
question fir discussion was the terms upon which the
Lebanon Valley stockholders should receive Reading
stock In exchange for what they bold. It was dually
agreed to give them Reading stock at per after the lot
ialle4f-4 8 . in exchange fir their Lebanon% Valley stock:
without participation in'dividends until January. 1859.
An agreement to that effect has been executed by the
managers of the two ern:epaulet:and In accordance with
. the law metherialne Abe consolidation, It will be pre
sented at this meeting for your approval and cones:na
tion— The managers recommend its adoption as the best
means for securing the control of a work which they 'be

,Traveling experience Is sometimes mou

sometimes unprofitable. At any rate, Mr Green,
a well-to-do resident of a "metropolitan" eitymt
cently traveled for his health. On his way to
,New Orleans, he found himself one day at St.
Loule.;While stepping on the steamboat "Sacker,"
a gentletianly stranger made his appearance ,at
the dock.; Gentlemanly stranger had a lady upon
MS urn, not so closely yelled, however, as to en.
lively conceal a pair of plum.oolored eyes, the
'sight of which Impelled-Mr Green to madjust his
dickey: Gentlemanly stranger approached Mr.
Green; "Going down the river, sir 1" "1 am,
sir," said Green. "Such being the Ca" will you
isbilipsuot by taking charge of this lady as far as

Mr. Green continues to woo. Green young lady

to cry a good deal in very conspicuous pirts , of
the vessel, and then, when, observed, to muffle up
her face and sob. Lady passengers, foil of pay,
conchae that young tidy Is a Helots., and Green
a wretch. , Ask young lady "if +nth Isn't the case?"
Young lady boo-boos. Gentlemen•• passengers
call O meeting in the saloon. High-toned looks
grimly sagacious ; then takes Mr. Green . aside,
.and bullies about young lady. Captain cells him
