SOUTHIVESTERN RAILTTAT,a road iu Western Indiana, extending from: Logans-port to Rockville, adi^tance of niut-iy-two mile;).Two conditions are essential toagoodiuve8tment

— safety and profit.

Tiie paramount co' sideration on the part of anyone having money to invest should be the safety ofthe proDosed investment.The security on which these bonds are based con-

sists of the very valuable franchises of i he Company—a new and well-built railroad, of which the greaterpart is already in actual operation, suitable real es-tate in the growing cities on the line of the road,with subBtiiutiai freight and passenger depots, andother buildings, and a full equipment of completepassenger and (reight trains.

The total amount of bonds issued is limited to-$1,500,000 (being hut $16,3u0 per niiie\ constitutingthe first and only lien upon the entire property of theCompany, and being but a small proponion of thaintrinsic worth of the property mortgaged.The location of the Logansport, Cruwfordsville,

and Southwestern Railway is singularly fortunatefor securing to it a latge business. The road passesthrough a thickly populated and rich agriculturalportion of Indiana, at presentwlthoutrailroad facil-

ities, where abundant surplus products seekingNorthern and Eastern markets, a large local passen-ger traffic, and connections with at least tun differ-

ent railroads which supply both through and wayfreight, should amply provide for the prompt pay-ment of interest on its bonds, and certainly insureits success.The transportation of flonr, grain, staves, lumber,

and live stock must yield a large revenue. Animportant business will also be done in carryingbuilding-stone from extensive quarries opened onthe line of the road. A special demand for this stonearises from the fact that it is fireproof, and not sur-

passed by any in respect to beauty and durability.To all this there is lo be added the h.avy coal

traffic, mainly with reference to which this road wasprojected, that must arii^e from penetrating for 13miles the celebrated Block Coal field. This husine^Balone should provide sufficient revenue for the en-tire interest on the bonded debt, and its paymentmay thus be considered doubly secured.The road passes centrally through five of the

wealthiest counties in the State In each case throughthe county seat. Statistics show that every "rail-road constructed, adds five limes its value to theproperty of the country " With the growth of thesecommunities the traffic of the Logansport, Craw-fordsville and Southwestern Ifaihvay will keep,pace. Thus the safety of an investment iu its

securities will be day by day Increasing, and theymust continually advance in value.

Next in importance lo the safety of the invest-ment is its remuneration to the iuvestor.

The securities of this road were selected by us to-

be offered to our friends and investors generall^vaftera careful examination of many difterent railwayenterprises, upon a conviction that the bonds of theLogansport.. Crawfordsville and Southwestern Rail-way offer at once the utmost security, and the mostliberal leturns consistent with such safety.

These bonds are coupon and registered ; bearinginterest in gold at 8 per cent per annum, free ofGovernment tax, payable quarterly in New York.A sinking fund is provided for the ultimate paymentof the principal.At the present rate of Government Securities,

none of them pay the investor 6 per cent,

and some less thtin 5 per cent per annum, uponthe cost of investment. The bonds of the Logans-port, Crawfordsville and Southwestern Railway, at

their present offering price, pay almost twice a»much interest to the investors as those of the UnitedStates.For the present we offer these bonds at 95 and

accrued interest in currency, or will exchange themfor United States bonds, or other markelalve secu-

rities at the ra es of the day ; rescrvii g the right to

advance the price at any time without further notire.

THE Itt'iVEiUENT IN CULl).

It is one of the evils attaching to the irredeemable paper

money system fastened on this country by the war that

in important crises like the present, our merchants and busi-

ness men who are obliged to transact their affairs on a gold

basis, and whose operations reach a vast aggregate in this

city every week, have no certain rule to guide them as to

the future tendency of the gold premium, and the conse-

quence is that to the legitimate risks of their business are

added m.iny of ths most demoralizing elements of gamb-ling. For the l- st week an apprehension has sprung upthat gold was going higher, s.nd the merch mts consequently

fcave been buying so as to cover past engagements and to

provide to some extent for the future. Tbe grounds onwhich rests this anticipation of a higher premium are

various. First, we are at a period of the year whet) such

a rije has generally occurred, and there seem to be nospecial forces in operation to counteract the usual movem.ent.Secondly, there is such a state of the foreign exchanges as

might fayor a rise. Money, it is true, is extremely ea.sy,

not only in London, but all over Europe ; and the Bank of

England has refused to r»is9 lis rate of discoupt, notwith-

itanding the declipq of i(g »pt»pie rescrvea, Still that initi,

tution mu»t keep \jp H% goltj ftvprajje, and «s it hai failed

fporo it»8n onq« of }a^ tp »t(r»o( go)4 by (h* old »>ij»«t

dient of raising its rate of interest, it will probably be

driven by force of circumstances to buy gold abroad. This

policy has been adopted both by the Bank of France and form -

erly by the Bank of England also. Indeed, some indications

appear occasionally of an export movement here, which are

by same persons interpreted as confirmatory of this belief

in foreign purchases in expectation of some such demand

from London. However this may be, our foreign exchanges

are not very unfavorable to a rise in gold.

Other arguments are based on a recoil from the re-

cent depression of gold by Government sales and other

negotiations, and on the fact that tliis month there are but

two millions of gold to be sold by Mr. Boutwell, while 12

millions will go into tha Treasury from customs duties. It

must be remembered, however, that the interest is now due

on the new fives, which will take 2 millions out of the

Treasury. Moreover, in the month of March 40 millions of

gold will be disbursed on account of called five-twenties, 20

millions of which are called for the 7th, and the rest for the

20th. Besides, there is the interest on the ten-forties which

is payable on the Ist Marcii, and amounts to 4^ millions.

To this it is replied that the natural consequence of the

prospective payments of coin will compel the Secretary to

stop his regular sales of gold after this month, and that the

moral effect of this cessation will be to give an impulse to

the advancing tide of prices, if they can b^ fairly started be-

fore-hand. This theory is disputed, however, on the

"•round after 20th March there will be no further heavy

gold payments from the government till those for interest in

May, July, and August ; so that the Treasury, withits heavy

customs receipts, will have abundant opportunity to re-

plenish its coin reserves even if it keep up its regular sales

at the present standard.

From what has been said it will be seen that now, as in

almost every similar uncertainty which has arisen for

several years past, the whole argument turns on the move-

ments of the Treasury, and the Secretary naturally holds

the key of the position, and, within certain li nits, can put

gold up or down at his will. It is also not to be wondered

at that, in face of the generel belief in an advanci-, there are

some of the shrewdest men in Wall street who are not con-

vinced, and hold strongly the opposite opinion. A lively

speculation on both sides has been predicted. Among the

parties to the struggle rumor mentions some of the leaders

in the disastrous gold " corner" of September, 1809. One

of these men is said to have made a million dollars in stocks

since the Chicago fire, and having pow realized on the 16 or

18 millions of gepHrities he hus been carrying, he is tempt-

ing Nemesis by /essaying to manipulate im equivrtlent

142 THE CHRONICLE. [Februarj 3, 1872.

of a rise. Indeed it is not unlikely to have been put in cir

culation for that purpose.

Turning, however, from these conflioling forces, which are

of a temporary and subordinate characier, the great con-

trolling question is whether the market price of gold is not

below its normal value, as measured by our paper currency.

If not, then it is beyond the power of any such influences as

we have oUed to act on the price of gold, so as to advance it,

except for a time, and as a preliminary to a fubsequent re-

coil. If, however, the present price o( gold is really too

low, then, without these auxiliaries, the price would inevit-

ably rise by its own force, because in finance there are laws

as sure in operation and as constant in force as the great

law of gravitation, which rules the tides of the ocean. But

why, if it be really governed by such permanent forces

and natural laws, does gold vary so much in price ? If goHis now too low, and if it has a tendency to rise, till the

equilibrium of prices is reached, why are the fluctuations so

frequent, an 1 how is the equilibrium so easily disturbed ?

We might as well ask how it is that as water al-

ways tends to a dead level, tlie phenomena of tides are pos-

sible, and why these tides rise so high in the Bay of Fundy.The answer is the same in both cases. The rise andfall of the tides are possible only in an unstable mediumwhose equilibrium is easily disturbed, and the tidal move-ments of rising and falling value will remain in the over-flowing current of our paper money so long as its volumeand its course are not controlled and made stable by thesolid, impassable barrier of specie payments.

But although it is impossible to forecast the future of goldeith?r now or at any time with exact accuracy, we mayforesee the probable causes of perturbation which are likely

to arise; and it is in the swift ability to discover these dip.

turbing forces, and to measure their force beforehand, ar.dto take advantage of each varying breeze as it springs up,that the safety and success of the navigators on the troubled'waters of our gold commerce depends. Most of the causesof that prosperity which has stimulated the commercial lifo

of the country during the past two or three years take theirpower from the steady equilibrium which has on the wholebeen preserved in the gold premium. Exhibiting a gentletendency downwards, due to the gradual process by which thecountry is growing up to the level of its excessive volume r fcurrency, the price of gold has been more firm and steadydurm,^ the last two years than in any similar interval in thehistory of our paper money. Judging from the past, th.nand keeping in view the facts we have discussed, we maysaiely s,y in answer to the question whether gold will »ohigher or lower, that so far .is depends on the Treasurynothing will be done to excite an advance, while from thesmall coin balance and large coin engagements of the gov-ernment, nothing can be done, or in any case would be doneto precipitate such a sudden fall as might cause a speedvupward reaction.

•'

PUfiiClPLEm PRACTICE IS THE LiaDIDlTION OP THE DEBTMr. Boutwell's first debt statement for the new year

exhibits some unexpected points of interest. In spite ofthe vast extent of the disbursements to he made at thissaason, he is enabled to show a decrease in the principal of$5,633,401, with a corresponding reduction of the interestai most of the securities paid off were at gold interest'Tne gold-hearinpdebt has been reduced frnm «;

1 ,853,85«,7o6to 81,852,150,200 during the month, and the currency-bear-ing debt from $86,703,000 to 834,978,000. There is aslight increase in the coin certificates, but much less thanwould have occurred if they had been more available for

p.ayJDg coupons, and if the low price^f gold had pot caused

much of the foreign interest paid last month to be exported.

This drain of gold abroad has contributed with other cau'^es

to lower tha Treasury coin balance eight millions, notwith-

standing that the cuatoma receipts for .January have beenunusually large. Since the recovery of the price of gold the

export coin movement has indeed been somewhat checked,

but its future course is doubtful.

The aggregate of the debt is now 2,338 millions against

about 2,344 millions at the close of December. Duringthe past 12 months the decrease is about 100 millions, andsinc9 the 1st March, 1869, the liquidation has been 287millions ; nearly all ot which has consisted of our high

est interest-bearing bonds. Two important criticisms

have been made from the beginning of this Adnfiinistration

and earlier, upon the management ot the debt; and both are

gaining favor with the people. The first is that, in its

bond purchases, the Treasury ought to prefer interest,

bearing obligations, and, if possible, should withdraw

them rather than such as bear no interest. Secondly,

that, other things being equal, we should buy up the

bonds having a higher rate of interest rather than those

which stand at easier rates. Both these principles Mr^

Boutwell has embodied in his policy, and they are not only

pjpulir, but they are in accordance with the strict

economy and vigilant retrenchment which form one of his

chief claims to the public approval. He has of late been

urged, for example, to buy ten-forties for the sinking-fund

instead of five-twenties. The law allows it. He might

purchase ten-forties or any other gold bonds at his dis-

cretion. But to do this would violate the second of the two.

principles cited above, and the Secretary has steadily refused.

In vain he was told that five-twenties would never be down

to par in gold. He preferred to diminish his purchases for

a season and await events.

The result has thoroughly justified Mr. Boutwell's caution.

Notwithstanding free purchases of five-twenties to a large

aggregate have been made this week for foreign account,

the abnormal excitement of the market has passed ofl^, and

on Thursday the oflferings of bonds for the Sinking Fund

were $.",943,200, or nearly four times as many as could be

accepted. The consequence was that the million purchased

were taken at 10908 to 109-27. This is the more note

worthy as it is the first time for over two months that the

Treasury has been able to buy bonds so far below the ruling

price of gold. It heralds a return to a more normal con-

dition of the gold market, and indicates the partial cessation

of such of its perturbations as have been ascribed tc the

recent attempts of the Syndicate to put gold down, so fc/iat

they might at a cheaper rate buy the amounts required to

close up their payments to the government.

An apparent violation of these two pri'iiciples appears in

the redemption of the 3 per cent. CertifioBtes, which ar« at

a lower rate of interest than any other securities on the

schedule. Ten millions of these Certificates have been

paid off in the last six months, and their a mount is now but

20 millions. It is believed that the agg^-egate of these 3

per cents, could be increased, in case of .need, to 100 mil-

lions or more, without their being available for bank re.

serves. But the objection to them is thaJi they are payable

at short notice, and experience has abuvi/lantly proved that

these and other forms of temporary loan s are unmanagea-

ble and mischievous. Still they did wod .Tervice during the

turmoil of the civil war, and in the diflioult transition

of cur finances from the war period! o f sh )rt credits and

financial makeshifts to the soinidor basis of h'lijr b .nds, and

a consolidated debt. By the l.»w of Jam ; 1870, the death,

blow was given to the Certifientes, an4 Mr. Boutwell is

the new nuiional bank currency is issued in accordance with ,respondents on this subject is the veteran financial reformer,

that law thi'SP three per cents are to be withdrawn, iind

although they may be reissued, it is not very probable the

necessity will arise.

Another apparent violation of these principles illustrated

in the dpbt statement is the dei;rease of the currency balance

lo la.SW.ari, against «il5,8«l,4!)3 at the close of Decem-

ber. But the reasons for th's are well known, and we have

recently urged the movement as conservative and needful.

We suppose ihe average has ranged evea lower during the

last fortnight, and to this judicious lelting-out of currency

is due in part the relaxation of the monetary stringency

which had been so injurious to s ime of our industrious com-

mercial interests, and by consequence to tlie public revenue,

while conferring benefit on nobody except a few speculators.

\n common with other discriminating friends of Mr. Bout-

well we have expressed our regret, that he did not make this

diminution of the Treasury currency balance in Decem.ber, instead of hoarding greenbacks during the busy season,

when the money market and its mechanism were stiained

to their utmost tension. The swift recovery of the moneymarket under the influence of what he has done justifies all

that was said in recommendation of this policy. It is hoped

that for the next few weeks at least, the Treasury will keep

it» currency balance down to 8 or 10 millions, and it wouldbe a service to the whole community if Mr. Boutwcll would

cause the exact fluctuations in this balance to be regularly

published so that the facts may be made generally knownfor the impartial bennfic of the whole people instead of

being without his knowledge accessible as secret information

to a few privileged frequenters of the Treasury building at

Washington and their enterprisng' speculative associates.

A few scattered rays of doubtful light are thrown fromthe document before us on the much abused Syndicateoperations. New fives appear to have been auiited andpassed during the month of January to the extent of twenty-eight millions. We were curious to know how many have

passed since August, when the bargain was made with JayCooke & Co., and we find on comparing the various debtschedules that new bonds have been issued altogether, to

nearly one-half of the amount passed to the credit of the

Syndicate months ago, on which they have ever since beenreceiving interest. An inquiry into this discrepancy has

elicited the lu'id and conclusive information that the re-

mainder of the Syndicate bonds over and above what appearin the debt schedule have not been " put through" the De-partment, which can only mannge the business at the rateof two millions a day. Meanwhile it appears thatwhile the fives of all descriptions, amount now accord-ing to the Treasury statement before us to $3.'J9,441,-

6.50, the aggregate was |275,.307,300, when the Syndicateagreed to take their 1,30 milliins in August. It is inter,esting to kno<w that the actual amount of the new fives re-

corded in thel books of the Department as having beenissued up to the 31st January, was precisely $124,874,350.Hence it is evident that there are remaining 75 millionstaken by the Syndicate which have still to be accounted forbefore the whole of the 200 million loan can be closed up.

REFORM IN THE SAVIXGS BANKS.

From the frKjuent communications recently sent to usfrom various quarters it would appear that the necessity ofamending the laws controlling savings institutions and enlarg-ing the guarantees for their safo and efficient management is

commanding more attention among all classes of the finan-

cial community, and that the public anxiety will not beellayed without some connprelipnsive and adequate reforms.

Mr. Amasa Walker. His proposition is lo improve the

safeguards of the depositors in savings banks by ttringent

legislation comprising the loUowing particulars:

1. That no loans be permitted to be made by these insti-

tutions on call or otherwise, upon persunnl s-.cuiities.

2. That all competition between savings banks be pre-

vented by forbidding them to pay over six per cent, divi-

dends per annum until the restoration of specie payments.

This will secure such a reserve as will give confidence to

depositors in case of a general panic, and prevent a run,

otherwise certain to be made.

3. That restrictions be laid upon the investment of funds

in State and other stocks having a fluctuating and uncertain

character, and the forced sale of which, in case of an emer-

genc}, must certainly be attended with heavy loss.

4. That the oflicers be made personally responsible for

the proper management of the banks with which they are

connected, and liable for any deficiencies or delinquencies

arising from their own misconduct or negligence.

Lastly, that the banks be required to furnish quarterly

returns of their condition, and be subjected to an annual

inspection by competent persons employed by the govern-

ment for that purpose.

These and several other reforms whicji have been pro-

posed in our columns cannot be too often urged or too vig-

orously defended. It is to be hoped that in other States

besides New York the agitation recently stirred up

will not be abortive. At Albany a promising effort has

been begun, and a bill has been introduced to enforce indi-

vidual responsibility on the managers of savings banks, and

otherwise to protect the depositors against less from embez-

zlement, bad banking, and financial panic. This measure

is good as far as it goes, but it is not sufficiently compre-

hensive. The savings bank system in this country has

grown so rapidly, is managed by men of such various de-

grees of fitness, and includes so prodigious an aggregate of

deposits, that it is capable of inducing a powerful and

dangerous disturbance in the movements of the National

banks, especially in time of revulsion or crisis. If the

savings institutions should become insecure, their insecurity

would, in a general panic, shake the foundations of the gen-

eral banking system of the nation. For these institutions

hold some 400 millions of deposits belonging to % c\ass of

persons whose want of knowledge and eagerness x hold

fast the precious fruits of their labor and pinching frugality

make them susceptible to the wildest excesses of irrational

panic in the face ofdanger. They show less nerve, less self-

control, less patience than any other class of depositors in

financial institutions.

For this and other reasons a savings bank is governed by

difl!erent conditions, must be managed according to differ-

ent rules, and should control i',s investments under different

laws from those which obtain in either a national bank or

trust company, or any other corporation entrusted with de-

posits of money by the public. It is the duty of all these

different classes of moneyed institutions to conserve and to

mobilize all their funds, but the duty of swift mobilization

in the case of a savings bank is subordinate to that of safe

conservation.

The law has made the duty of safe keeping so prominent

in the case of savings banks trusted with the money of the

poor, that these banks alone, of all our financial bodies, are

shielded from the dangerous obligation of demand pay-

ment. If a run is started on a national bank every depositor

must be paid on the instant. But in the case of a savings

institution, the case is otherwise. Such a bank can fall

back on the privilege {o exact SO or 60 days' notioe. A

144 THE CHRONICLE. (February 3. 1872.

memorable instance in which this was done successfully and

without injury to the credit of tho bank occurred in the

crisis of 1857, when the Bowery Savings Institution

boldly closed its doors against the clamorous crowd besieg-

ing the bank, declaring that it would protect its depositors

and would pay them in full in 30 days, but not before.

From the old reputation of the bank, its excellent manage-

ment, its known stability, iind especially from the large

surplus ivith which all possible claims on it were protected)

the clamor on it soon subsided, and ihe course of the trus-

tees was approved by public opinion, as it might not have

been in the ease of a bank of less established character.

There is no doubt that in most cases it is imperative in a

savings bank to have some speedy means of converting a

proper proportion of its assets into cash, so that it shall be

able to tide over the interval of a month or two, which is

allowed in savings bank charters and forms the sulject of a

special contract with each depositor. Thus the Third Avenue

RKVIEW OF THE MO.\TH.

The extreme scarcity of money which characterized the latterpart of December continued to be felt for a number of days in theearly part of January, and a fair abundance of loanable fundswas not really experienced till near the fifteenth of the monthThis tardy improvement, though generally foreseen by some ofthe older heads of the street, was a disappointment to many whowere carrying stocks or bonds, and who had hoped that themoney market would relax immediately after the first of theyear. After the middle of the month there was a good supply ofmoney at 6@7 per cent, on call, while some transactions weredone at 5 per cent. The great stringency in the early part of themonth, as above noticed, had the effect of checking business incommercial paper, and the best endorsed notes could not then benegotiated better than 9 to 13 per cent., but before the close therewas a good demand lor such paper at 7 per cent. The Treasuryoperations had no appreciable influence on the money market.Government bonds were pretty firm until the report wag cir-

culated that the Government was negotiating for the gale of|6(X),000,f 00 of new 5 ond 4^ per cent bonds in Europe, and thenprices took a downward turn, which was. as the result proved.

Savings Bank, four or five weeks ago, when the run upon it |..£ntirely unwarranted by the actual status of the negotiation. It

was first started, judged it best to decline to claim its GO

days' grace, and evidently thought to quiet the public dis-

trust by prompt payment during all the usual bank hours>

both of the day and evening. In any future run en a

sound savings institution, the same plan will doubtless be

adopted, unless in exceptional case?, and this is just the

reason why such disasters are so dangafous to the general

banking interests of the public.

For to whom can a savings bank so assaulted apply in its

distress? Idle cash it dots not keep in its vaults, except

just enough for ordinary purposes. Cash in vault earns no

interest, and is regarded as a dead weight, a profitless bur-

den, by the shrewd savings bank manager. He is driven,

therefore, to resort, in his extremity, to some of the

national banks for the means of meeting his engagements.

But these institutions are just as av, rse to holding idle

greenbacks. They keep no more than is required by thei^

circulation and deposits, by the nature of their business, bythe average demands of their dealers, and by the law regu-

lating 1 heir reser res. For greenbacks suddenly demandedto this vast extent by a single dealer, no national bank is

Oidinarily prepared; and still the demand, in case of a

savings bank in trouble, mu«t be met, or the whole fabric of

its credit would be demolished.

For such reasons it is thai the accounts of certain savings

banks are looked upon with more oisfavor than formerly byour conservative National banks. We refer to such savingsbanks as aspire to do a general banking business, to havetheir checks pass through the Clearing House, to receive

deposits from business men subject to deck at sight. Suchbusiness is obviously foreign to the intention and duty of a

savings bank, and deservedly impairs its standing in thebest financial circles. And still this business is soughtevery day by tome of our savings banks, especially those of

recent origin and less-eslablished position. Deposits aresolicited by them, and in the eager competition promisesare freely given of higher rates of interest on daily balances,

subject to check at sight, than could be earned at certain

periods of the year on any sound and unexceptionable loans.

No wonder, then, that these savings institutions, thus per-

verted from their proper functions, and competing with the

regulw banks of deposit and discount, are becoming unpop.ular at the barks where they keep their accounts ; for if asavings bank uses Clearing House facilities it should obvi-

ously be subject to Clearing House safeguards. It shouldbe compelled to keep its own reserve, to prepare weeklystatements, to render reciprocally to otber banks the samebenefits it receives, and to be subject to the same constantpublicity or superviaion {^ regard to its QqncJitiQ^i ^pdiolveucy,

. ^ .

has seldom occurred that the mere report of a possible futureevent has had so marked an effect upon prices. After the real factsconcerning the proposal made to Mr. Boutwell became known,prices recovered materially and generally ruled pretty steady till

the close. It was also supposed that parties who had knowlodgeof the transaction prior to its being made public helped price*down by large speculative sales.

Several prominent stocks were subject to clique manipulation,

as noticed from time to time In our weekly review of the market.

Gold was excedingly quiet during most of January, and the

market was unusually free from important speculative opera-

tions. The heavy disbursements by the Treasury for January

Interest and on account of the redemption of five-twenties fur-

nished a large supply of cash gold and made it heavy for carry-

ing. Towards the close of the month there was more firmness,

and evidences that some prominent operators were looking for an

advance.

The negotiation of railroad loans in the London and conti-

nental markets seems to be effected with greater facility thanever before, and shows a rapid increase in the confidence placed

in American financial enterprises.

CURRENT TOPICS.Railroad Officf.rs as STOCKHOLDEna and Specui.atobs.—

A bill is now pending in the lower house of the State Legislature

which provides, in effect, that no director, trustee, or officer of anycorporation formed under tlie laws of the State of New York, or

having an office in that State, shall purchase or obtain any inter-

est in, either directly or through an agent, any stock in the cor-

poration of which he is an officer, under penalty of fine and im-

prisonment ; also forbidding any person to act as broker or agent

of such officer to make such purchase, under the same penalties.

It is understood that the object of this measure is to prevent the

officers of railroad and other companies from speculating in the

stocks of the companies with wliicli they are connected. If the

bill had proposed that the ollicers of corporations be prevented

from selling, or othernisa disposing of, instead of from buying or

otherwise obtaining stocks of the companies with which they are

intrusted, it would have seemed less like a pleasantry. As it ia

we suspect the originator of the measure of an attempt to perpe.

trate a joke upou his fellow members. There is certainly a pretty

general belief that the corporate officer most likely to discharge his

duties faithfully and well, is not the one who has the least interest

in the permanent prosperity of the'enterprise of which he is a man-ager, but the one whose whole wealth is invested in it, or whoseincome is largely dependent upon it. At tue same time there is

an evil existing which this legislation is in appearance aimed at^

although it clearly fails to meet it. Directors and officers ofour large corporations have peculiar means for obtaining infor-

mation with regard to the company with which they are con-

nected. Many of them use this information in a way to undulydepress or inflate the stock, and at the same time sell or buygreatly to the detriment of permanent investors. This specula-ting upon information which all the stockholders are eqtjally en-

titled to is a very great evil. But there is a perfect remedy if ourLegislature wishes to apply it. Let our zealous friend who has intro

duced the bill in question introduce another requiring all railroad

corporations to make and publish a monthly report of their earn-

ings and expenses under oath, and to give the same public notice

of every increase of stock or bonds, and of every lease they pro-

pose to make ;—in a word, requiring them to expose to the public

view all the inside machinery which is now kept concealed sim-

ply for the benefit of the knowing few ;—let him do this and then

press the measure to a vote, and we shall soon learn what dispo-

sition there is to reform this great and growing evil.

Kite Fltinq in the Sugar Busixess.—The Diario de la

Marina, the leading commercial newspaper of Havana publishes

in full our article of the 33d December, which was headed as

above, and accompanies the same with the following remarks;

" It will be easily seen that this article which we luivo repro-

duced from the Commkbcial Chronicle of New York, is the in-

spiration or work of one of the old New York houses formerlyclearing handsome commissions on consignments received fromthis Island. Tbo snjrar business between Cuba and the UnitedStates has duiiui; the past few years considerably increased ; it

has also underj^oue changes, and to a great extent been trans-

ferred to other hands. Should wo be sorry for this, if from the

change benefit has been derived by our planters and our trade,

which is all we care for ?

" Neverthffless, we concede that a forced sale, as a rule, de-

presses prices to the iujurybothof the producer and consignor.

It is our duty, thiTufore, to investigate the matter and sfe

whether remedies can not be found to protect the bona fide

dealers, affording them all reasonable and prudent facilities for

preventinj; the New York sugar market from being subjected, an

it of late has been, to influences entirely foreign to the staple, to

ttuctuatlons ruinous to lU value, which not unlrequently ar«

]i6 THE CHRONICLE. [February 8, 1872.

wholly due to the pressinff necessity for realizing in which posi-

tion desperate holders of sugar find themselves placed. This ne-

cessity, arises in most cases, from the pressure of engagementswhich brook no delay, and are the more urgent in times whenfunds cannot be raised in the ordinary commercial ways appli-

cable to a normal condition of the money market ; in a word, whenthe obtaining of cash entails such sacrifices as to absorb amountslargely in excess of the probable profits of the business.

" The question here involved is of such interest that wedeem it worthy of special attention and of profound study, and in

order that we may fulfill our duty in the matter, we intend pub-

lishing one or more articles on this subject which is of so great

practical importance."

It will be seen that the Diario in its first paragraph of the

above extract, which we have translated, ventures upon a sort of

apology in favor of the change which we complained of in our

article, and says that this change is the legitimate result of a na-

tural increase of the business. Subsequently, however, we think

it fully concedes the correctness of our position and statements,

and proposes hereafter to throw more light upon the subject, so

that some practical remedy may be applied to cure the evils of

the present sys',em. In pointing out the evil, we think we namedthe remedy, but we shall be glad to have the Diario's opinion

upon the same point.

Since our article of December 23 was written, the sugar season

has opened in the same unfortunate manner as during previous

seasons;great activity is displayed at Havana with rising prices,

notwithstanding a slowly receding London market and a stagnr-

tion here, which holds out little prospect for an advance, such as

is predicted here before the West India sugars begin to arrive in

force at the end of the month. Unless something not now antici-

pated occurs to altogether change the aspect, we see no reason

for the buoyancy and excitement at present observable at Cuba.Certainly the probabilities are that somebody will again lose

money, for values must be regulated by those current at the twoleading distributive centres, London and New York. But howcan these high rates at Cuba be prevented, as long as certainparties are known to be under the necessity of buying sugarsat any price there so that they may have them to be slaughteredon our docks for purposes foreign to the sugar business.

The Darien Ship Can.*.i,.—The Houso Committee on ForeignAffairs have decided to report adversely upon the resolution in-

troduced by Mr. Lynch a few days ago, requesting the Presidentto ascertain the views of European governments in regard to in-

ternational co-operatiou for the construction of an isthmian shipcanal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Committeeare of the opinion that such an enterprise should be in thehands of American citizens only, to the end that when opened,the proposed canal may be exclusively under American control!It is probable that the decision of the Committee was influencedby a letter from Mr. Secretary Fish to General Banks, to the effectthat ' it has not been the policy of this Government to complicatethe question of the construction of such a canal by encouragingdiscussion or negotiations with European governments upon thesubject, but rather to foster the development of the enterprisewhen the most practical and economical route shall have beendetermined upon, as an undertaking which it is peculiarly theduty of the American nation to carry forward to a successful com-pletion." This does not mean as some seem to think that it isthe policy of the government to make the construction of theproposed canal, if it should ever be undertaken, a public work tobe constructed at the expense of the national treasury Whensuch a canal shall have become a commercial necessity, there willwe think, be enough private enterprise and capital in this countryand Europe to undertake its construction without any considerable pecuniary aid from the United States Government

tylZt^Trt"^"'""^ ™ C;HINA.-It is a curious fact thathe root of the Amencan ginseng should be so much esteemed bythe Chinese for certain supposed beneficial efTects upon the nervesand for other presumed virtues. It is really held in such esti.'mation by them that they sometimes wear the roots as charms

"sTuraf^t'^t,'^^ '1"^"«'-P«'i «P«<=--B are particularlysought after, as they carve them into unsightly household godsand dragons like l.ttle monsters. But notwithstanding theChinese thus find m this root so many hidden merits, none of ourown or European physicians have discovered any proofs of itsefficacy or med.cnal power. The plant is found in this count^

particu arly in Virginia, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania. Its rootIS about three or four inches in length, and one inch in thicknessU resembles a small carrot, but not so taper at the end, sometimesbeing single, but often divided into two branches. The stem of

the plant, which is renewed every year, leaves, as it falls off, an

impression upon the neck of the root, so that the number of these

rings or marks indicates the age of the plant, and the value of

the root increases accordingly. The Chinese governments were

formerly in the habit of sending out annually 30,000 Tartar

soldiers to search for the plant, and each was obliged to briu/

home two ounces of root gr.iti8, and for all above that quantity he

was paid its weight in silver. The following is a statement of

the export of ginseng from the United States for tho years

named :

In consequence of the eager pursuit of this plant of late years

its growth has been checked, and the exceptionally large speci-

, mens of roots have become quite scarce. As China, however, musthave the article at any price for the higher classes, a short crop

will command a correspondingly high price in the Chinese ports

till the supply becomes ample again. The average Americancrop is valued at 400,000 pounds; last year not more than half

that amount, it is estimated, was gathered. It has been a source

of great profit to a few houses. As far as we have been able to

ascertain, there are but three firms in this city who deal in it to

any considerable extent.

London, Saturday, Jan. 20.

There are already indicationa of a reviving demand for gold for

export in connection with the French Indemnity. You are, of

course, aware that the payments were recommended on Mondaylast, and it appears that a large number of bills on London havebeen handed over to the Imperial Chancellor. Some anxiety•xistg with regard to the effect of the mat rity of these bilZs on

ns, tnd the withdrawals from the bank this week, which onContinental account, have amounted to iS.'iO.OOO, have lndiie«'d

many to believe that in the course of the Indemnity paymentsthis year our money market will bo frequently dinturbed. Solong as there is a hope that the French will re Instate themselr«(politically niid financially, the position of France cannot be lookedupon as so desperate that her government will be unable to bor-

'

row. J^ending is an important and lucrative portion of our for-

eign basinesH, and thus it may be presumed that there will ba

ma y English capitalists willing to extend aid to France.

A telegram has been received from Paris this week mentioningthat negotiations are in progress, and nearly completed, for the

introduction of a loan of £120,000,000 sterling, in a five per cent-

stock at 87J^. It is stated in the same telegram that tbe

operation will be delayed until May 1, 1873. It will be observed,

therefore, that, according to the telegram in question, both bor-

rower and lender are looking so far ahead as sixteen months. Thepresent price of French five per cent, stock is rather more than 87^and my opinion for saying that the above statement is premature'

is derived partly from the fact that the French government mayexpect to borrow on easier terms sixteen months hence, while,

on the other hand, English capitalists may assert that the

financial difficulties of France are of too grave a character to

admit of a recovery in the value of their stocks.

M. Thiers' protectionist views are meeting with considerable

opposition in the manufacturing districts ot Franco, and demon,stratious in favor of free trade have been made. At Marseilles,

there has been consider iblo agitation in consequence of the pro-

posal of the Government to tax the raw material. The manufac.

turers of Lyocs plainly see tliat much ot their trade will be lost,

if they are compelled to work with materials on which a tax has

been levied, and which will in consequence be dearer to buy themin other manufacturing countries. M. Thiers seema to be working

against the commercial interest' of his country by driving their

trade into foreign hands, for it is not likely that the lorejgn

buyer will effect his purchases In France when he can make themat Manchester or Leeds at a much cheaper rate. Delegates, it ap

pears, have arrived at Verseilles from the commercial towns o'

France, and have decided to induce some deputies to bring for-

ward an order of the uay rejecting the tax on the raw material

and appointing a special committee Instructed to seek a means of

raising 250,000,000 frauc-i, without damaging the interests of com-

merce and agriculture. An important debate on this question is

likely, therefore, to take place, and it is '.o be hoped that there

will be a full and free discussion upon it, as a false conclusion

would be very injurious to French prosperity. The last telegram

to hand on the question is that M. Thiers has been defeate '.

When it is asserted that our trade during the last twelve

months has been very active, and very remunerative, no one canfeel surprised at the large number of applications which are

made in the provinces for most of the new loans which are intro.

duced. The manufacturing and agricultural interests are in so

prosperous a state that large sums of money are forwarded to

London for investment week by week, and it is often in conse-

quence of these applications that new loans are successfully

floated.

There has been a better demand for money this week, and prices

are firmer. The inquiry increased as the close of the weekapproached, and the probability exists of a steady improvement

There has been a good demand for foreign bills ot exchange,

and the rates are lower. Gold is in better demand for export, and

the silver market is very firm. The following prices of bullion are

In the Stock Exchange prices are less firm. Numerous realiza.

tions have taken place, and speculative holders of British railway

shares have realized, as it is expected that prices have now reached

tjieir highest point. The demand for United States Government

securities has been good, and prices are firmer.

Numerous new companies have been introduced this week.

There is a loan for the Republic of Bolivia for £1.700,009, the

price of issue being 68, and the rate of interest six per cent, per

annum. The principal object of the loan is to subsidise the

National Bolivian Navigation Company, formed under concession

from Bolivia for the purpose of opening communication between

the Republic and the Atlantic Ocean. Its natural outlet via the

River Amazon will thereby be secured to Bolivia, a country con-

taining upwards of 3,500,000 inhabitants, of great fertility and

vast mineral wealth, but hitherto, by its geographical position,

practically shut out from the world's commerce. In view of the

international importance of the operations of that company, the

Congress of the United States of America has granted to it a

charter, and its board is composed of gentlemen of the highest

standing in the United States.

It is rumored that a loan of considerable amount will be intro-

duced for the City of New York at an early date.

, The quality of wheat sent to market this week has been veryinferior, owing to the continued damp weather. All dry parcels

have sold readily at fully late rates.

The trade of the country continues good, and no diminution in

the extent of our commercial operators is apparent. The follow,

ing relates to the trade of Manchester

:

A firm feeling has prevailed in this market to-day, and producers have beenrather less easy to deal with than thev were two days since.

The attractive features of these Securities are recognized in the

fact, that, although they have been but a short time on the market,

they are nearly all absorbed, and but a small amount are now for

sale.

They combine a perfect security with a liberal rate of interest.

This interest account is made light for, and easily borne by, the

Company through the operation of the Sinking Fund created

from sales of the Company's land, which in many cases draw in-

terest at the rate of ten (10) per cent, per annum. The security

behind them is ample in every particular, as they constitute a first

and only mortgage on a trunk line of railroad which will soon

connect the city of St. Joseph, Mo., (an important railway centre),

with the Union Pacific Railroad at Fort Kearney, materially

shortening the distance between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

In addition to this, the bonds have a further security in the fact

that there is included in the Mortgage the Company's magnificent

Lands, amounting to 1,500 000 acres, known to be among the best

in the United States. The Mortgage indenture prohibits the sale

of these lands at less than Four (4) Dollars per acre, and payable

to the Trustees under the Mortgage, for the clear ajid express

purpose of retiring these Bonds. The amount thus realized ex-

ceeds the entire amount of Bonds which can be issued, and leaves

the road, property and franchises free.

The Bonds have thirty years to run, with interest at Eight Per

Cent., free of tax, payable February and August in each year.

Both principal and interest are payable in gold.

The principal in New York. The interest in either New York,

London or Frankfor^on-the-Main, at the option of the holder,

without notice, and in the gold currency of the cotintry in which

they are presented. They are coupons or registered.

Trustees—Farmers' Loan and Trust Company.

The present price of these bonds is 97i and accrued interest in

currency, from August 15, 1871. But they are receivable at par

and accrued interest in payment for lands sold by the Company.

The right is reserved to advance the present selling price without

notice.

THE SIX PER CENT BONDSOF THE

CHESAPEAKE AND <mO RAILROAD COMPANY,

having still twenty-eight years to run, with interest payable May

1 and November 1, both principal and interest payable in gold

coin in the City of New York, are recommended by us for safe

and permanent investment, for the following reasons, viz.:

1. They are thoroughly secured.

2. Like tlie Central Pacific* they will be iMdely known, wrypopular

and always marketable.

8. They will be dealt in at all the prominent Stock Exchanges in

this country and Europe, and have the advantage of both a

home and a European market.

4 They should largely advance from the present price of 94 and

accrued interest, when all sold by the Company, at Central

NOW HEMAIN UNSOLD.

They are in denominations of |100, $500 and $1,000 Coupon or

Registered.

The Central Pacific Bonds are now, and have b-en for a long

time, above par, and as they are constantly growing in popular-

ity, both in this country and Europe, and becoming scarce in the

market, and as they have a long and definite time to run (now

about twenty-four years), we expect to see them still advance in

price, especially as Government Bonds, having a comparatively

short and uncertain time to run, do not at present market rates

pay over four per cent, interest on the investment.

The Chesapeake and Ohio being under able and honorable

management, partly identical with that of the Central Pacific,

their seciirities should take equal rank in popularity and market

value.

For exchange of Five-Twenties or for new investments, we cor-

dially recommend either the Central Pacific or Cliesapeake and

Ohio Six Per Cent. Gold Bonds.

The money market.—The rates for money have been slightly

irregular, and ranged at different times through the week from

5 to 7 per cent, on call loans. There has apparently been a goodsupply of money, and Government bond dealers have had little

difficulty in getting all they required at 6 per cent., as a maximumbut the variation in the demand from stock broker."*, has led to

some sharpness in the activity at late hours on the street, and onThursday particularly, as high as 7 per cent, gold ivas paid in

some instances

It has also been reported, that there was some manipulation

of the market in order to make money artificially stringent,

though such a movement, if in T^^rogress, has been conducted with

more caution than usua'i, to prevent its early detection. Thenatural flow of currency is now towards this centre, and it would

appear that an attempt to create stringent money here, at this

period, must be more than usually difficult. The Treasury pro-

gramme for February includes the sale of $1,000,000 gold on the

8th and 21st, and the purchase of $1,000,000 bonds on the 1st,

15th and 29th.

The last bank statement showed a decrease of $1,705,900 in theexcess above legal reserve, and a considerable decrease in specie.

The liabilities stood at $349,363,100 ; the legal tender reserves,

$71,500,500, being 9,325,725 in excess of 25 per cent, of theliabilities.

The following statement shows the changes from previous

week, and a comparison with 1871 and 1870

State and Railroad Bonds.-State bonds have been rather

firmer on Virginia consolidated bonds, and without very import-

ant fluctuations on most of the other Southern bonds. The joint

committee of the Virginia Legislature have reported substan-

tially in favor ot reconverting the entire debt of the State into a

bond bearing 3 per cent, per annum interest for the first twelveyears, 6 per cent, for the succeeding ten years, and 9 per cent, for

the remaining ten years, and in like proportion for the 5 per cent,

sterling debt. They also recommend the repeal of the present

funding bill, under which about two-thirds of the old bonds havebeen funded, and that the coupons on the consols be no longerreceived in payment of taxes. They also decline to assume anyresponsibility ior the one-third of the entire debt the State appor-

tioned to \Ve.st Virginia beyond what that State shall assume.This report is made by fifteen of the joint committee, nine dis-

senting. In the mean time, the funding of the old bonds into

the new consols goes on, the Legislature not having overruled

the Governor's veto of the bill repealing the funding act ; and a

mandamus has been issued to compel ihe State authorities to re-

ceive the coupons of the new consols in payment oftaxes, in accord-

ance with the terms of the contract on the face of the new consol.i.

In the Missouri Legislature the Governor's veto of the bill to paythe old bonds in legal-tenders has been under discussion, but not

yet decided. These bonds are payable in coin by their terms, andthe short-sighted financial policy, for a rich State like Missouri,

to endeavor to save a small amount of money by paying in cur-

rency, is almost beyond comprehension.liailroad bonds have been in good demand as usual, and the

new loans are reported to be selling well.

The Gold Market.—In our last report we referred to themovement in gold, which was just then beginning to show itself,

and can now confirm the statements then made of a decidedly

firmer tone in the market. The price has ranged between 109^

and llOi, closing tolerably firm to-day at lOOKalOOfThe Treasury sales in February will be only $2,000,000, which

is so far favorable to higher prices, and as there is little n ore to

come on the market before March, it is easy to perceive that par-

ties favorable to a rise calculate upon a less abundant supply

than the market has had lor the past two months. The Assistant

"Treasurer has paid out to date 123,8^9,000 on account of Five-

Twenties redeined, and $14,097,000 for January interest.

Customs receipts this week amount to $3,()18.0CO.

this influence on the side of higher prices. Erie stock has beenweak under the influence of various reports in regard to thefloating liabilities of the company and the issue of more slock.The tJoverning Committee of the Stock Exchange have ordered

Foreign ExcUange.—Tlie exchange market has been dull

and fell olf to 108| for prime 60 days' sterling, and 109^ for short

QLi)t Baiiu)ay Jilouitor.I.ATEST INXEI^IilGBNCE OF STATE, CITY AND

MAILUOAD FINANCES.

t^ EXPLANATION OK STOCK AND BOND TABLES.1. Prices or the most Active Stocks and Bonds are given

In the "Bankers' Gazette," previonsly. Full quotations of liU other securi-ties will be fonad ou the two precediug pages.

2. Government Securities, with full information in regard to eachiBsae, the periods of interest payment, size or denomination of bonds, andnumerous other details, are given in the U. S. Debt statement published inThe Cheonicle on the flrst of each mouth

,

3. Tables of Bank Stocks, Insurance Stocks, City Rail-road Securities, Gas Stocks, and City Bonds, with quotations,will be published the first three weeks of each month.

4. The Complete Tables of State Securllles, CUy Securi-ties, and Railroad and miscellaneous Stocks and Bondswill be regularly published on the last Saturday in eich mouth, with an intro-ductorjr article relating to investments in the several different classes ofsecurities embraced in these lists. The publication of these tables, occupyingfourteen pages, requires the issue of a supplement, rt-hich will be neatlyBtitched in with the regular edition ; The Chbonicle containing this sup-plement win be printed in Bufficient numbers to supply regular Bubscribereonly.

INVESTMENT OF OTONEV IN STOCKS ANB BONDS.The month of January was probably the most active month in

ailroad bonds that has ever been known in Wall street. Theapid advance in prices of the old railroad mortgagesunder a sharp demand has hardly been equalled before. Theresult of this movement has been to send up the prices of first-

class bonds on old roads to such high figures, that they are not

nearly as desirable for purchase. From the scarcity and highfigures of the old issues, the demand for other bonds, not so wellknown, has been largely stimulated, and the inquiry has been ac-

tive for all the later issues of railioad mortgages which are con-

sidered safe and nrofitable. A large class of bonds at the pres-

ent time which seem to deserve special attention, are the mortga.gages of certain roads guaranteed or indorsed by another com-pany. While these stand nominally on the same basis as " guaranteed " or " endorsed " bonds, there are hardly two of themwhich are precisely the same, so widely do their respective con-tracts of guaranty or endorsement differ in terms. The best formof such a contract, in point of law, seems to be a positive endorse-ment on the bonds themselves, as no other form places amore absolute responsibility upon the guarantor, nor is there anyother which is so difficult to evade. In purchasing an endorsedorguaranteedbondit should be ascertained, 1. That the companymaking the endorsement or guaranty had a clear legal ri'ht todo so. 2. That the contract, whatever its form may be, is madein such legal and definite terms that it makes the endorser orguarantor absolutely responsible, and cannot be evaded. An ex-amination of our regular stock and bond tables published lastweek,January27, will show that > large number of the mostprominent companies known on our stock exchange have ex-tended the benefit of their credit to branch roads, in the shape ofperpetual leases, or by guarantee or endorsement of their bondsand in many cases these bonds can be bought at satisfactory prices'

NE\r I.OANS.

_

The several bankers who are offering new loans report a con-tinued active demand, and seem to be generally well satisfiedwith the sales made last month. We find that some of our re-marks in regard to purchasing new bonds have been entirely mis-construed. We have stated at different times that bonds of a newloan could be purchased at the same price through any stockbroker as if they were bought directly from the financial agentsthemselves. Our only object in making this statement wasteinform those parlies who have brokers, through whom they in-variably deal, or those who reside at a distance, that they will losenothing by purchasing through brokers, if such is their desire-far from impeding the sale of new loans, we wished to inform ournumerous subscribers in dilTerent parts of the country that the saleof new bonds, which they see advertised, is not limited to one officein New York, but can be made through any bankers or brokers ofregular standing throughout the United States without loss to thebuyer.

' Railroad Construction In the United States In 1871-The following is an extended statement of the number of milesnew track (not including side or second track) laid on every rail-road in the United States that constructed any new road duringthe year 1871.

PITTSBURG AND OONNKLLSVILLE BRANCH.

The Pittsburg and Connellsville road, now known as the Pitts-

burg, Washington and Baltimore railroad, was opened for busi-

ness in May last. The developments of its trade are large, anddemand a rapid increase of plant. The road is being supplied

with additional locomotives and cars, and it is believed thai the

sanguine expectations entertained regarding the results of that

important line will be ultimately realized. Arrangements are

progressing for the extension of this road through Pittsburg to

the great Northwest. It is expected that the construction of the

Baltimore, Pittsburg and Chicago railroad, fraught as the enter-

prise will be with such vast advantages to all the extensive andvaried interests with which it is to be connected, will be rapidly

effected.

OTHER BRANCH ROADS.

The heavy and difficult work upon the Metropolitan branchrailroad has been vigorously prosecuted. The expendituresamount to $1,.547,565 02. Large forces are engaged, and the construction will be continuously pressed, so that this important andcommanding line will be completed, if rracticable, in April next.Investments have been made in original capital, and continuouslylor arching the tunnels, perfecting the tracks and works of theParkersburg branch road, and in constructing the bridge for its

connection with the Marietta and Cincinnati railroad of more thannine millions of dollars. Much assistance has also been extendedto the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad Company for the improve-ment of that line. Large as have been these expenditures, the wis-dom of the policy pursued by the company has been shown notonly by a constantly expanding traffic, and its effect upon theprosperity of the cities of Cincinnati and Baltimore and of the in-termediate territory, but the singular directness and importanceof the line has commanded the legitimate fruit of securing itspractical extension from Cincinnati to Louisville and St. Louis.

OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RAILROAD.

On July 23d last, the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, which, in-cluding its Louisville brancli, is 393 miles in length, altered itsgauge from six feet to four feet nine inches, to correspond with ourline from Baltimore to Cincinnati. Prior to that period, that im-portant road having the same broad guage, maintained its chiefbusiness by the Atlantic and Great Western and the New Yorkand Erie roads with the city of New York.

—In the bankruptcy case against the Indianapolis, Cincinnatiand Lafayette Ilailroad. a schedule of the liabilities and assets ofthe road was filed in the United States Circuit Court at Indianap-olis on Saturday. Among the liabilities are the following : Ameri-can Exchange Nationa' Bank of NewYork, $92,000; Bank of Commerce. New York, $30 OOO ; Barney & Smith Manufacturing Com-pany, Dayton, Ohio, S?48,560; Robert Garrett & Son, Baltimore,$120,000; Globe National Bank, Boston, $80,000 ; Post & Co.,Cincinnati, $63,585; Perkins, Livingston & Post, Cincinnati, -$58,-

Pur-ceTl, $21,881 57 ; Post & Co.. $15,827 66 ; Dodge, Lord & Co., $10,-990 80; .J. F, Richardson, $721 23. The schedule is accom-panied by certificate from Register Major of Lawrenceburg, to theeffect that it is incorrect in form, in that it fails to state the debt.sand property of the bankrupt under the dilFerent divisions pre-scribed by the forms. . The schedule will be returned to be madeoat in proper form.

The market the past week has been buoyant and excited. Pricesh*ve pretty steadily improved, and sales have been large. Anupward movement in gold, together with the continued activity

at advancing rates at Liverpool, has induced shippers to takehold much more freely, while the eagerness of the shorts to covertheir contracts produced much exciiement in the market lor fu-

tures and helped the progress upward. The diminished receipts

at our ports (confirming as they are supposed to do) ihe shortcrop views, have, ot course, been the basis for this renewed activ-

ity, while the ready response of Liverpool to each advance hasstrengthed the position of holders in the belief that consumptionis to go on at the same enlarged rate of the past six months, so

that the supply of the American staple is sure to prove deficient.

The more conservative of the trade, however, believe that theeffect of high prices on consumption cannot as yet be measured,nor can their influence on the India supply be known ; hence all

such hold aloof from the present speculation, prefering to realize

present profits rather than to run the risk of a loss in the hope of

securing a greater gain. The close to-night was firm on account ofthe small aggregate receipts for the week, although early in theday the market showed some weakness. The last quotationsfor futures were (basis low middling) 224c. for February,22|c. for March, 23ic. for April, 23ic. for May, and 23|c. for June,The total sales of this description for the week are 108,400 bales,

including free on board. For immediate delivery the total

sales foot up this week 22,715 bales, including 12,231 for export,

3.809 for consumption, 765 for speculation, and 5,910 in transit.

Of the above, 1,048 bales were to arrive. The following are theclosing quotations

February 3, 18'i2.J THE CHRONICLE. 159

Wkathkb Reports.—The past week has been very cold

throuKhout the South. Our weathnr tolegrnm a week ago from

OalTeston did not reach us until after wo had gono to press. Wo•tato, therefore, here, that on Thursday of that week it snowed

at Qalvegtoa. And again this week they have been visited for

several days witli sleet and snow and rain, tliu thermometer

averaging for the week 88. At Now Orleans it has rained two

days and been showery one day. At Mobile, Montgomery, Selma,

Columbus, Charleston, &c.,they have hadsover.il days of snow and

•leet, weather very cold. Thermometer at Mobile and Columbus

has averaged 37, at Selma, 34; at Montgomery, 42; and at Charleg-

toD, 41. At Memphis it haa snowed on two days, and the rest of

week has been alternately pleasant and cloudy, so cold as to per-

mit of very little picking, the thermometer averaging 28. At

Nashville also it has been unusually cold.

India Cotton Crop—Mail Accounts.—We have this weekreceived detailed reports of H. Rivett-Carnac, Cotton Commis-sioner for the Berars and Central Provinces, from which it appears

that in the Central Provinces the area under cotton cultivation is

estimated at 70,000 acres less than last year, but owing to the

very favorable appearance of the Ilinaiunghaut crop, which is em.

braced in this return, there is expected to be little or no deficiency

in the quantity available for transmission to Bombay. In East Berar

here are about 30,000 acres more under cultivation this year than

last, but the weather has been bo unfavorable that no correspond-

ing increase in the out-turn is looked for. From West Be rar the

reports are decidedly unfavorable, the area of land under cotton

being set down at 100,000 acres less than last year, while the short

rain-fall renders it improbable that there will be any increase of

yield to make up this deficiency. In reviewing the wholeposition

of these districts, the Cotton Commissioner estimates thai the out-

run of the Berars will be from 200,000 to 210.000 bales, against anaverage of 250,000 bales, while the Hingunghaut crop, which fur-

nishes about 3O,CO0 bales for shipment, will probably be a full

one. Messrs. Finlay, Muir & Co. state in their circular of Decem-ber 23d, that the accounts from all the other large growing dis-

tricts (always excepting Khandeish) continue satisfactory. Somedamage appears to have been done by rain in a portion of the

Dhollera districts, lut the area affected is not extensive. Putting

all these statements together, however, it would seem that at the

dale in question the country which is drained by Bombay did not

promise any increase in the yield, but rather a falling off of about

seventy to one hundred thousand bales. With regard to the dis-

tricts which seek a market throngh Calcutta and Madras our ad.

vices are more favorable, and would indicate something of an in-

crease. The average export from Calcutta is about 200,000 bales,

and from Madras 240,000 bales.

BoMB.w Shipments.—Our Bombay telegram received to-night

gives the shipments to Great Britain for the week at 22,750 bales,

and to the continent, 1,250 bales, while the receipts at Bombayduring the same time have been 39,000 bales. The movementsince the firtt of January is as follows. These are tUe figures of

BREADSTUFP8.Friday P, M., February 2. 1872.

There have been but slight fluctuations in the market for

breadstuff's during the past week, and the close is comparatively

quiet. The demand for flour has fallen off both for export and

home use ; there has, however, been more inquiry for shipping

extras from Spring wheat, and bids for good lines of extra State

have been advanced to $6 60, but as they are not plenty this

price is still below the views of holders. Medium grades of

Western, ranging from $7@8, are very plenty and slow of sale,

and fair winter wheat extras have been sold for the WestIndies as low as $0 7.j. Family brands, though firm, have been

dull.

Rye flour and corn meal have remained quiet. Buckwheat

flour has slightly improved. To-day, there was B«me Inquiry for

extra State, but the market generally though firm was very

dull.

Wheat has been dull, and the limited business has been done at

irregular prices. Spring wheat shows a slight improvement, white

Winter wheat has been depressed. The receipts at all points con-

linue limited, but the stock in store at this point has experienced

but very small reduction. To-day, there was a moderate busi-

ness reported at $1 57 for No. 1 Spring in store, and $1 70i for

prime wliite Michigan in store.

The supply of Indian corn by rail has been less liberal, while

the demand has at times been quite active, both for export and

home use, and prices have improved—prime new Western mixed

afloat selling quite freely at 74@74ic., with very little doing in

other descriptions and the offerings quite small. To-day, the

market was scarcely bo firm—prime new mixed sold mainly at

74c., afloat - old mixed nominal at 78c., in store.

Rye remains dull and unsettled. Barley has been less activ*

and prices barely sustained at the advance quoted in our last

Canada peas remain dull and nominal

Oats have been var able, and but moderately active. The sup-

ply is less liberal by rail, bu; the demand does not much improve,

and the stock in store is quite la-rge. Yesterday, prime mixed

Western sold at 53ic., in store, and 5.'5@5oJc., afloat, with a pretty

brisk trade. To-day, 40,000 bush, prime No. 3 Western in store,

were closed out at 53c.

[We should state that the cost of shipping grain Is just nowgreatly increased by the quantity of ice in our harbor, which

renders its navigation difficult and risky.]

GROCERIES. -

Fridat EvBNiNa, Feb. 2. 1872.

^The general market has shown no very stirring features, iu fact

on many of the leading articles ; business was only temporarily

active at the best, and the tone for the week has been a dull one.

Buyers still cling to the policy of taking just enough for immedi.ate wants and no more, and goods move out slowly. Most of thestocks, however, appear to be in strong hands and owners, by nomeans, anxious to force matters ; full former prices generallyremaining current aiid, as a rule, quite firm. The apparenttendency toward a higher range on the gold premium has actedas a supporting influence though without directly stimulatingany decided increase of cost on goods. The general interior de-

mand develupes slowly, but it is generally tUought must ulti

mately prove large.

The entries direct for consumption, and the ^ithdrawftl frombond, showing tojfetUer tU? toW Xlaovf^ on tli? jnnrket for th«week, were m loUowt

TBA.Business has been fair in a general way, and some very good sales are re-

ported closed, but still the movement does not appear to come up to the cal-

culations and expectations of many of the trade, and here and there some dis-

satisfaction Is expressed. Buyc rs are evidently working on a cautious prin-

ciple, and not much inclined to handle stock in excess of known wants, and

though a few large Invoices go out, the demand lacks that snap and vim so

conducive to buoyancy on prices and a drawing in of hesitating operators.

Greens are in comparatively very small supply, not many to come, and more

generally sought aft(T than any other grade, and niitui-ally ruled llrmly, while

blacks and Jaiians are irregular, though the latter have sold fairly of late.

The line trade has been moderate, and has helped to keep the wholesale market

in a dull condition. Sales In .Invoices.of 7,160 Greens ; 8,600 Japans, and 2,300

Oolongs.

Imports this week have included 525..54'1 lbs Black, per '

indirectly have been 1.279 pkgs, by steamer and 2.023 by rail overland.

COFFEE.The general position of the wholesale market shows no very important

variation for the period under review. Holders still feel, oral least assume,

full as much confidence as ever, offer with mnderalion, and make no pretense

of entering into negotiations where there is not a strong probability that

extreme prices can be obtained, and in fact exhibit no anxiety whatever to

force business. Buyers, on the other hand, rendered cautious by the full

prices rulitig. and finding the general call from smnll dealers and consumers

not up to predictions, and, in fact, only fair at the best, are indisposed to

operate unless actually compelled to, and in the majority of cases confine

their movements to a basis of imperative ne<eBeltie8. Of Brazils the sales at

this point were comparatively small from first bands, and during the greatci

jwrtion of the week the market had rother a stupid tone. Holders of the

well controlled stock were strong enough In their views, and made bnt a pooi

show of samples, some of the most desirable parcels still being entirely with-

drawn, and in all cases outside rates were asked, but so far as the actual ont.

let at current figures was concerned the stock available proved ample. Job-

bers were selling fair amounts to the interior, but nothing heavy, and found

their stocks in store snfllcient both as to quantity and assortment !o meet

their orders without trouble, and were in consequence rather offish abont

further purchases at importers views, especially as they were In a good manyinstances enabled ;o secure a handsome profit on a basis of about the whole-

sale rates. AM were i)rotty firm, however, and not a few rather inclined to

lend their aid in supporting values on invoices in order to let them out onrecent high priced purchases. At the outports the cargo sales have been fair,

and at extreme rates in all cases. West India descriptions are moderately

active, owing, iu part, to want of a general stock, but firm, and, in some cases,

held higher. Java has gone out fairly from second hands but the wholesale

market rather slow and without specially interesting features beyond a con-

tinued asking of extreme rates. The Invoice transactions at this point em-

brace 2,933 b-igs Rio, 1,097 bags Maracaibo, 2.461 bags Porto Hico, I,7S0 bags

Jamaica, 228 bags Costa Rica, 400 bags St. Domingo, 500 bags (Government)Java, and before arrival, 15 565 mats Java. At Baltimore, 19,030 bags Hio, andat Gulf ports. 4,750 bags Rio.

interior call, to be snre, continues slow and nncertaln, and there is no sign

of an immediate increase, l>at it is claimed that the Buppliea held by email

country dealer** and conBumers, generally, are already greatly rednced, and

must soon, in a great many cases, become entirely exhausted, and that when

the demand does set in it will be active and reqnire a large amount of stock

to satisfy it. The new crop too ie slow in coming to hand, and it is claimed

will have to accumulate pretty freely before dry old sugars can be seriously

influenced. Buyers, however, can not be persuaded to depart from the very

cautious policy of the past mouth or two and though, now and then, there ii<

a day of very fair activity few goods are tak<?n beyond Icnown early wants, and

operators having secui'ed the parcels necessary to carry them throngh present

emergencies, do not again appear until absolutely forced to. Advices from

Cuba continue steady for most of the principal engar districts, but not parti

cularly buoj-aut, aiid there appears a very fair amount of stock available con.

sidering the means of transportation at present offering Advices from the

South indicate a firm market for the domestic crop, with a very good dlstri.

bution West and through the Southern States, but not much coming in this

direction. Refined have been in a dull and drooping condition generally, andsome of the leading grades are again off in price, with even the current smal]

MOLASSES.Foreign goods continue to meet with a slow and Bomcwhat uncertain de-

mand, and the market has shown a dull tone thronghout, with weak prices formost grades, and holders quite willing to riMlize, though not resorting to anypressure. Distillery stock, though undoubtedly to be reached at an eitremelylow figure, ts so utterly neglected that there may be said to exist no nattiral

market for it, and values are simply nominal. Buyers can he found for gro-cery styles at pretty full figures, provided only small lots are ofl'erod, hut thereis little or no inclination to negotiate nn full parcels. neSners are also to befound in attendance occasionally looking for parcels to carry them throughpresent necessities, though, heyond this, they are unwilling to operate, inview of direct importations in prospect. For domestic the market has beenirregular, some receivers asking full rates and storing goods rather than con-cede, and others offering with a fair show of freedom, and allowing compara-tively easy terms. Taken altogether, however, the tendency was mainly in

buyers' favor, the supply proving rather too large to handle easily. Syrupsare firmer on a small supply. Sugar-house molasses is also scarce, and, withan improving demand, the tone is firmer at 18®19c. in hhds.. and a2@23c. inhbls. We note sales of 313 hhds. Porto Rico, 340 hhds. Trlndad P. S., fghhds.

void of truth . California pears are in fair jobbing demand at full prices.

Domestic Dried.—New apples are in fair demand, but old are dull and

neglected. Peaches are quiet and rather difficult to sell. Peanuts have been

quite active, but toward the close have become quiet as most dealers pretty

well supplied themselves. Prices are rather weak owing to the large stock in

store, especially of old. Pecans are higher, and have been in good demand,but close quiet at the improvement.

The foreign dried market is but little changed in tone from last week- Thedemand continues light, and prices of most descriptions have a droopingtendency, excepting sardines, which are not plenty and held firmly. Trans-actions were interfered with during the greater part of the week by the post-ponement of several large auction sales on account of the extreme coldweather. Layers arc in hut light demand, but prices are a trifle more steadyat the late decline. Loose Muscatel and Valencia are In moderate demand atsteady prices.

In foreign green the market has been rather quiet, and prices without ma.terlal change. But they cannot be called strong, as Ihcie are several vesselsnow overdue. Malaga lemons are jobbing at $1 75@S; Palermo, {2 75, andMenins it $«. Palermo Oranges at $i 76@S ]8X, Rnd Messina at fs 20 ; V«-

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.FniDAT. P.M.. Fob. a. IP'S

The buslnegs of the past wefk has been mainly from jobbers

hnndo, and the aggregate is fully up to the R\emge. Merchants

from the more remote districts arp coming in daily, and are

liberal bnyora, although some time will, of course, be spent in

canvassing the market before heavy purchases are actually made.

Southern buyers are making fair bills, and salesmen who have

recently returned from tours through the South, report the pros-

pects very encouraging for the spring business, the remunerative

pricea obtained by planters for cotton this season having placed

consumers in an easier financial condition, and enable<l them to

buy more liberally than for several seasons past. In the Westand North everything seems favorable for a good trade. Chicago

has recovered in a great measure from the effects of her disaster

last fall, but the demand from that city, thus far. has been morefor the necessaries than for the luxuries of life, and it is probable

that of the goods sold to that city this spring an unusually large

proportion will be of the medium and lower grades. Collections

are coming in witli fair freedom, and no imj)ortftnt suspensions

are reported.

DojfESTro Cotton Ooods.—Tlie jobbing movement in all of

the leading styles of goods has been very fair this week, and the

market retains all of the firmness noted in previous reports-

Brown sheetings and shirtings in the medium and lower grades

liave been undergoing some changes in prices; the alterations

bein;? mainly for the equalization of values to conform to the

advances made some time since on the better grades of goods.

Fine grades are unchanged and remain firm. Bleached sheetings

and shirtings sell fairly in a jobbing way at about former quo-

tations. Some makes of the finest qualities are sold to arrive, byagents, and orders for future delivery are only taken at value-

Colored cottons are firm and the tendency of prices on some styles

\i toward an advance. Denims are a shade higher on somemakes, but the rise has not become general as yet. Rolled jaconets

are up again, 13}c. being the current asking price for plain shades,

with little stock offering and a probability of a further rise. Prints

are firm and sell fairly in medium fancy styles and shirtings at

our quotations.

Domestic Wooles Goods.—The demand is confined to the

limited wants of interior distributors, and is only moderate in the

aggregate. Local jobbers are making selections of fine fancy

cassimeres and purchase limited amounts, but no class of buyersseem disposed to operate freely at the current rates, believing, nodoubt, that by holding off they will be able to obtain a further

|

concession. Holders are pretty firm, however, and seem morelikely to establish an advance than a. declini. CUoths are in fair

request, and firm at full prices. Flannels sell fairly forthig season

of the year at good prices.

FoREroN Goods.—Buyers have been canvassing the marketfreely during the past week, and the sales of desirable fabrlc.-s

f/om first hands have been very satisfactory. Dress goods ar^

especially active, and large amounts have already been placed

from the liberal offerings made by importers. Stocks are wellassorted, and Include many new and tasteful eflfects which arelikely to become popular throughout the country. Prices con.

tinae relatively low, although a trifle above those of last Spring.

Lioens are in good request at a fair advance, and holders are veryfirm on the strength of continued favorable advices from theother side. There has been some demand for millinery goods,but the transactions are not large, and buyers are not likely to

take hold with much spirit until after an aaction sale has beenmade.

We annex a few particulars of leading articles of domesticmanufacture, our prices quoted being those of leading Jobbers :
