The benefits you propose to exti>n(l to those selecting this class of policy are more VARIED I^f THEIR CHARACTERAND AHVANTAGES THAN AUK Al>"l<'(>ltDKD BY ANY PLAN OP INSUKANCE NOW IN USE BY ANY COMPANYWITHIN MY KNOWLEDGE, and are such as cannot fail to render the Tontine Investment Policy a popular, safe, and highly-remunerativo form of Insurance.

I have no heivitation in saying; that I think it more probable that the actual results will exceed than fall short of yourestimates.

WALL STREET TOPICS.

Apart from the eccentric gymnastics of fancy stocljs, twoor three other topiis are engrossing tlie chief attention in

Wall street. The first is as to the probable movements o(

gold inconsequence nf the paynunt of 40 millions of called

five-twentii's, hnlf of wliicli matured on Thursday and are

now being paid off. These bonds are so slow in finding

their way to the Trcasuiy for redemption Ihat to .ill ap-

pearance the process o( disbursing these 40 millions will

extend over a considerable liine; and the Treasury will not

be at all inconvenienced, as it holds 81 millions of gold

besides that which- represents gold certificates, and the re-

ceipts for customs during the seven weeks before the pay-

ment of the May interest will amount to 20 millions, Since

the call of 140 millions of the May and November FiveTwenties, the amount of the May interast is now but aboutIG millions, so that the Trcasuiy balance of gold will be

kept up. Still, in view of possible emergencies, Mr. Uout-well has decided to sell no gold this month, and the general

feeling approves the policy he has ad.ipted.

A8 to the probable exportation of gold, the prospects havesomewhat changed during this week, as the swift revival ofthe demand for Five-Twenties (or exportation after thecheck it received through the treaty troubles, is interpretedto indicate that we shall export bonds instead of gold to paymuch of our foreign indebtedness; while the brisk movement

of capital (his way will aid in checking the shipment of

gold. The inference is that the gold which comes out of the

Treasury will, to a fair extent, find i(s way into our banks,

and help in replenishing (heir Ifgal tender reserves. In

view of thcsi) and some oilier coiitiiigen<,ies the ]>rice o( gold

has not taken that upward turn which was generally expected

a few weeks ago.

Another topic of some interest is the reported settlement

of the financial troubles of the State of Virginia. It seems

there has been a compromise embracing the followiog

points : Fiist, the funding bill is to be enforced except that

the olfensive provision i§ rejicalud for receiving coupons for

taxes. Secondly, the three per cent, semi-annujil coupons on

the bonds are to be paid as follows : One-third in n certificate,

.ind two-thirJs in cash, 'flie certificates are to be paid in full

as soon as there is money in the Treasury suilicient to pay

them, which is expected to be at the close of this year when

the taxes are all collected. Hereafter the whole six per

cent, per annum stipulated on the bonds is to be paid in

cash. This arrangement appears to be the best settloment

which the Treasury of the State could bear, and it gives

genenil satisfaction, if we may judge from the pried of the

bonds which immediately n>se two per cent, when the

announcement of this compromise was made. The cred t

of the old S:ate of Virgini.i is so closely associated with

that of the whole of the Southern States that this s:itisfactory

adjustment has had much more influence upon public confi-

dence than its independent importance would have justified.

A third topic of interest is offered by the overstrained

movements of the loan market. The heavy demand for

money induced by the activity in the stock market had its

effect yesterday on the rates for loans ; and there was an ac-

tive demand, but without any extraordinary pressure.

Probably the impression would have been still obscure had

not some of the banks been contracting their operations this

week in ord'T to moke np their reserve which had fallen

below the legal minimum of 25 per cent., and was likely to

bring upon these institutions an official monition from the

Comntroller of (ho Currency. It is supposed that the ave -

sgcs to-day will be somewhat more satisfactory, and thf.t

by t!ie end of next week all the banks will be "in line" once

more. This delinquency in regard to reserve is the moteremarkable, as it has not for some years oc*cuired so gener-

ally or in so great a degree. A few days ago over one-third

of our city baaks were more or less short of reserve, the

State banks being the most deficient, as oyer them tie

Comptroller has no authority.

There haa been some appiehension that a lock-up of

greenbacks was preparing, and that the activity ye.sterday

was thus caused. The reasons .ibovo assigned, howcvc,

sudiciently account for it, and fin ihe present we seem

likely to be exempt from this source of trouble in the

moDe}.-market, The fear of it has had a tendency to cheek

the general movements of trade, and the volume of busi-

ness, foreign and home, is less than was expected. The

monetary uncertainty is not, however, alonn tu blame for

this. The impending charges in the tariff have retarded the

distribution of imported goods, while our exports have been

slightly checked by the movemenls of gold and foreign

exchange.

As to the future there is no abatement of confidence. Agood prosperous spring trade is looked for if the money

market should be favorable. Of this monetary tranquility

there is little doubt. For a few weeks we may probably

have no very excessive accumulations of capital pressing

for employment. But there will be an adequate sujply,

and if the spjculators should adopt means for creating arti-

ficial disturbance the effects will, as heretofore, be probably

small and brief.

COXCRESS AJiD THE CLEARING HOUSE.

The deserved failure of Mr. Sherman's Clearing HouseCertificate Contrac'.ion bill on Thursday in the House i3

significant as showing the determination of the popular

branoh ot Congress to do nothing likely to cause contraction

of the currency or general perturbation in business. Areliance on this disposition prompts some of our banks to

expMt the enactment of other new projects. One of themis the law permitting the banks to deposit greenbacks in

the Treasury repayable on demand, and to receive cheques

therefor of *5,000 and $10,000 each, suitable for makingthe daily exchanges which are now paid in greenbacks.

The purpose for which these new non interest-bearing

Clearing House cheques are contrived is to protectthe banks from the risk of robbery and loss in sending their

messengers through the streets with large sums of green-backs in tlieir possession. The new certificates being pay-able to the Clearing House would be utterly useless else-

where, and if stolen would be either returned by the thievesor replaced by the Treasury. So far as this purpose is con-cerned it is plain that the banks have no claim on thegovernment for any such insurance against risk. It is nota part of the proper work of the Sub-Treasury to guaranteethe banks from losses in doing their business. If theseinstitutions want cheques of the sort described, why canthey not deposit their gold in one of the larger banks, anduse the tokens of that bank in their daily clearings 1 ThereU a precedent for this in the gold token arrangement,which worked very satisfactorily prior to the issue of the'government gold notes in 1805. It was the bank of NewYork, we believe, which, under that arrangement, was thecustodian of th« gold for the whole Clearing House, and itstokens passed current among the banks as freely as the goldthey represented, and «ith much less risk. Now, what ist'lere to prevent this precedent from being followed in the-present c isc. A plan could easily be contrived and carriedout that would do as well for the conservation of greenbacks as the old one did for gold. It is true this planwould cost the banks something; but the cost would onlyrepresent the risk; and the proposed law would throw ihatcost and risk on the government, while all the benefit wouldaccrue to the banks.

Ofcourse,this argument goes on the assumption that thenew law the banks want is to allow them to seal up packages of $.^,000 and * 10,000 greenbacks, put lh«m into theTreasury for safe keepi.,g, and fetch them out in bulk asneeded. If the Government vaults are to be converted intoa safe-depository of valuable packages for the banks, why

credit institutions pr private citizens?not for other

Among the supporters of the new bill there are some whoadvocate the measure as a corrective of contraction. Theythink them a remedy the inconveniences of withdrawing the

present Clearing-House certificates under the law of July

1870. These men are in favor of giving elasticity to the

currency, and they would make the proposed Clearing-

Housn tickets identical with the present certificates in every

respect but that of bearing interest. There is some plausi-

bility in (his view. But if this be really the wish of the

banks,—if they desire to take out new Cleuring-House

certificates, bearing no interest, as fast as the old ones which

bear interest are withdrawn, and as a substitute therefor,

then it is a question whether there is a necessity for any

legislation whatever. The law of March 3, 18G7, in con-

nection with that of June 30, 1864, which has not been

repealed, seems to cnver the whole ground. In these

statutes the Secretary is prohibited from issuinr; certificates

bearing more than a given rate of interest; but he is not

prohibited from issuing certificates bearing no interest

whatever. If this view be sustained, then the new bill is

not needed at all, and the Secretary, if the public service

should demand it, can issue certificates to the banks on the

deposit of greenbacks, the Treasury getting in return the

use of the money free of interest.

Another project which is in favor just now, in somequarters, is that of establishing a new bank of at least 10

millions capital, in this city ; the stock to be held bythe country banks. The banks owning so powerful an

institution will of course keep their metropolitan deposits

in it and employ it to do their business here. It expects to

get 50 millions of deposits and it would thus hold a similar

control over our money market to tliat which the Bank of

England held for many years over the money market of

Lond.in.

In these days of opposition to every form of centralized

power, aid especially to centralized money-power, this

scheme has not very good prospects of success though it has

for two yeirs in succession been warmly urged in the

annual report of the Cmptroller of the Currency. Every

nationd bank is at present prohibited by the law from hold-

intj stock in any other bank. This disability would require

a new statute for its removal, and there is little danger that

Congress will so affront public opinion as to pass such a law

ia face of the storm of hostile discussion it would evoke.

Still the plan is being vigorously pushed forwurd, and half

a dozen names have already been mentioned as emulous or

as certain of appointment as its first oflicers. Among the

novel features which have been engrafted upon it is the

proposition to make this bank a Clearing House for our

city banks, through which all balances shall be paid in Na-

tional Bank notes, so as to supersede our present Clearing

House, which enforces the payment of its balances in green-

backs. Congress will probably let this, with the other

schemes we have mentioned, sleep»un(listurbed throughout

the present session. They nil seem to be unnecessary or

mischievous or unpopular.

THE NEW ERIE RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

" Reform legislatures," it has been said, " are extravagant

and corrupt." CalWd to power by a sudden revulsion in the

tide of public opinion, it is not strange that such assem-

blages should be reactionary in their policy, rash in the

application of remedies, and ro zealous iigainst a certain

set of evils that corrupt demagogues are apt to n.islead

them into opposite evils, as bad or worse. The rumor is,

that the dethroned chiefs of the "Ring" have long ag»counted on some such contingeRcv for the rfcoyery of their

lost power. If lo, they must by this time have found out

their inistuko. ,

In one iniportiint point at least it cannot be denied that

so far the reform legislature at Albany has vindicated the

good opinion of iU /riends, and refuted the prmiiction that

it would be the most ineflkient corrupt body which ever

sat in the State Capitol. For twenty years wo are assured

there have not been fewer indications o< corruption or

bribery. We know it will be said by the cynic that the

legislature are afraid, and that timidity rather than con-

Bcience keeps them out of temptaticn.

We are scarcely of this opinion, but be the causes what

they may we have nt present a Slate legislature which

appears anxious to do its duty in the existing crisis. Of

this many proofs might be cited. No stronger one need

be given than is afforded by the Erie bill, which was

reported on Thursday in the Senate and yesterday in

the House. This bill is very elaborate in its details, but

it has been drawn by men of great legal acumen and much

experience in Erie litigation. It is no doubt admirably

adapted (or the obj' ct in view. That object is simple.

It is to oust the present directors and elect new men. The

misdeeds of the present managers of Erie have been exposed

be wished.

Abroad it

Tb*has

often been a matter of surprise that the Gould dynasty*

with its (ligraiit crimes, could so long maintain itself in

fsce of outraged public opinion. The explanation is easy

An important part of it is found in two facts. First

'.lie fundamental principle of the astute management o'

Jay Gould was tn care fur the interests of the traveling

public. The local tniffic of the road was fostered. The

whole tier of counties traversed by this great highway waa

made to feel friendly, and numerous arrangements were

adopted to foster its interests, to enlarge its population, and

to increase its growth.

Besides this it was remembered that most of the enor-

mous abuses in connexion with the overissue of stock were

part of a long [course of worfare against the Vanderbilt

clique, which having got possession of the other great out-

lets from the great lakes to this city needed but Erie to

make their monopoly complete. To defeat this monopoly

was generally acknowledged^to be a great public necessity.

Behind this grave necessity Gould end his friends lurked

and bid for renewed lease of power, promising to carry out

numerous further reforms in management if the past waa

year after year in our columns, and much that they have condoned anS a fair trial given for the future. Moreover,

done is the deserved object of public opprobrium in "" ^'^er party appeared capable of kecpmg up the fight

Europe as well as here. Their bad faith toward their ^vith the monopolists and preventing this road from being »

stockholders has passed into a contemptuous proverb.

From present appearances public opinion seems to indi-

cile tliat these ""men will soon be driver, from power, and

that the magnificent property they control will pass into

other hands at the election of next July. It is to be hoped

that the repeal of the classification act and the other pro-

visions of the new law will not fail to cleanse this Augean

stable. That measure provides for a new election, and will

surround it with some extraordinary safeguards, especially

in the restriction of proxies and the appointment of inspec-

tors of election by the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals.

This is almost all that legislation can do in the matter. It

«ill put the control of the road as formerly in the hands of

those who own it. How they will exert this power remains

to be seen.

Of course, whoever may be elected a new policy will be

inaugurated. The new directors will seek to run the Erie

road so as to make a dividend for its stockholders, for to

them they are responsible. This is all right enough in its

way. But a great corporation like the Erie Railroad does

not wholly belong to its stockholders. It is in an important

sense public property. It has been chartered by the State,

and was in fpart built with money voted out of

the State taxes and paid by the people. Its duty

to the State is thus paramount to every other. If

commerce is the life-blood of the body politi», railroads

are the great arteries through which that blood cir.

culates and diffuses life through every part. The history

of the Vanderbilt roads proves that when a railroad

is run in the interest of the stockholders, and for the narrow,

selfish end of making large dividends, the public are some-

times made to suffer. W^hat we want in the case of the

Erie railroad is that both these legitimate objects should

have thtir proper claims under the new rer/ime. Let the

stockholders make honest dividends if they can. But the

object which should be paramo\mt to all others is that due

regard be poid to those great general interests and to that

development of the public wealth which the road was

chartered and endowed to secure.

We are the more particular in urging this point, not

part of the great Vanderbilt system of transportation.

Now, however, the patience of the public is exhausted and

Giuld is likely to be dismissed.

The new managers of Erie must show a wise judgment

in the reforms they may introduce. In sweeping away the

abuses, and extravaj'anee. and corruptions which have eaten

up the earnings of their business they must not sacrifice the

local interests of the State or of the belt of country tra-

versed by the road ; and in their anxiety to develop their

through traffic they must take care that Erie shall fall

neither into the hands of Commodore Vanderbilt nor Presi-

dent Thomas A. Snott, both of whom with the hungry pro-

clivity of great rai'road potentates are said to be anxiously

watching a favorable opportunity of seizing possession.

The Legislature at Albany and the people of the State are

prepared to do their duty to the Erie road, let its stock-

holders not fail to do theirs.

PROSPECTIVE CHANGES IN; THE ENGLISH BANKING SYSTEM.

The foreign demand for our securities is now reviving,

and the renewed activity in the flow of capital this way

from the plethoric money markets ot Europe, attract in-

creasing attention to the monetary movements abroad, and

cause more discussion than would otherwise take place

about the banking sys'.eoi of London, which, as we have

recently said, has undergone a rapid development and is

apparently on the eve of some important changes. The

fundamental idea of that system, as is well known, was to

have one large central bank surrounded by smaller satellites

The center of the system is the Bank of England with

£17,741,000 of capital and surplus, and some 26 millions

of circulation. Around this venerable establishment are

grouped a score of corporate institutions all but four of

which are less than 20 years old. The following tables

give a report of the condition of these institutions, eleven

of which are joint slock banks, while the rest are discount

companies. For the sake of compactness OOO's are omitted.

Thus €2,000 represents £2,000,000.

* Not known, but reported to have ranged as bifih a« 40 per 'cent in ene or

two instances,tBetlmated.

The London Economist, from -which we have ooropiled

these figures, is very emphatic in its testimony as to their

significance in several points of vieiv. For some six or

seven weeks last autumn, says our coteinporary, when the

Bank rate was kept up at a point considerably above the

market rate, the joint-stock banks lost very large amounls

by their adherence to the traditional rule of tnking the Bank

rate as a regulating index of the rate o{ interest allowed by

them on deposit and current accounts'. The tritditional rule

has been for the banks to allow 1 per cent, per annum less

than the minimum rate of the Bank of England ; but when,

OS was the fact in October and November last, tlin minimumrate was kept at 5 per cent,, while the market rate wasunder 4, or even 3J^, the consequences were most serious to

esfciblishments having large deposits, and still more to

establishments having not only deposits bearing interest,

but also balances of current Hccounts. The Economistevidently gives the opinion of the leading financial authori-

ties in London when it adds, that "Whether the Bank ofEngland keeps up the pr.ictice of fixing a minimum rate bypublic notificalion or not, it is tolerably plain that the timehas come for the London banks to agree among themselvesby means of a committee or confijrcnce, the rate to beallowed on deposits quite independently of the proceedingsof the Bank of England.''

Of course one objection to (his course is as to the termson which the Bank of England will allow il. This institution

holds the coin reserve, and almost the only coin reserve, onwhich these Loudon banks and credit institutions depend asa basis for their business. If the affiliated batiks adopt theplan they indicate then it will be for the Bank of England»Bd for its neighbors to take some new departure and todevise some measure of self-protection. How pressingwill be the emergency for such precautions it is not difficultto foresee. If thess banks act so far independently as to cutthemselves off in part from the control of the system ofwhich the Bank of England is the centre they will need alarger basis of capital. They must also prepare to be at theexpense of holding their own reserves of coin in.stead ofdepending so much upon the coin reserves of the Bank ofEngland ;>xccpt, indeed, that institution can bs induced orcoerced into the p..licy of keeping a mass of 4.5 or 50 mil-lions sto-ling of .oir. f.,r the sole pttrpos-, of maintaining thefinancial rqnilibrii.m and forming a counterpoise to the in-dependent movements of it.i satellites.

It has ofion been remarked that ihe Bank of France inthe panic of I.Sfifi never raised it. r.uo of discount above 4per cent. and still it increased iUcoin reserve from £18,«48

-

000 on the 7lh March of that year te £21),804,000 on the29th August. During those six months, to keep up her re-serve, France had to import over 20 millions sterling ofcoin showing that her original coin surplus of 18 millionshod been drawn out of her vault* during that unparalleledhalf year of financial excitement and convulsi.jn. How * as

the coin obtained? Probably by purchasing in foreign

markets. Certainly not by raising the nwte of interest. Forwhen the Bank of England on (he 25th of April raised its

rate to 7 per cent, and a week later to 8 tnd then to 9 percent, the Bank of France kept its rate steady at 3| and heldit there during (he 13 weeks in which the Bank of Englandrate was 10 per cent, and was struggling to attract by this

high rate the flow of gold to its coffers.

Since the j^aiiic of 18G6, and previously, tlio opinion hasbeen expressed that the Bank of ,England would sooner orlater be compelled to adopt some new expedient for replen-ishing its coin reserves. Till lately that opinion seems tohave had little support in Great Britain. Still the deviceof raising the rate of interest to stop the export of coin hasnever been without grave objcctionsj; and during everypanic it seemed to be productive of mischief, and to retardrather than to hasten the recuperation of business. Accord,ingly, we have often ventured to suggest that it would bewell for the bank to lose no time in contriving some newmethod of attracting gold to its vaults—a method whichwould be more direct in its operation, more immediate in

its effects, and more harmless in its results. Since the sus-pension of specie payments by the Bank of France, newreasons for such a change of policy have developed them-selves

; inasmuch as the large specie reserve of that insti-

tution has been tor stmie years laruer than the reserveof the Bank of England, and could be easily depleted bythis institution with a very slight turn in the forci"n ex-

changes. Specie payments being now suspended in Paris,

the coin in the Bank of France is no longer so easily accessi-

ble by the eld methods of manipulating I ho foreign ex-

changes, or so easily drawn out by the raising of the British

rate of interest.

In London just now, as we have seen, i4her reasons are

making themselves felt in the rapid growth and Increasing

the past year, show that from their heavy payments of

interest on deposits, th°ir business does not seein to be so

profitable, or their dividends so large, as they were at first

CURRENT TOPICS.

plates a sale or Ipaae of the canalK, and it in by no moan* certainthat au amendment to the State Conatltution providing for •neha change would not be ratified by the popular vote. To otirmind, however, there are very gerioun objeclionH to thin plan.Suppose either of the great railroad iiitercatu which now controlthe rai'.road system of tlie Slate should ac<|uirc the lease, is it notprobable that the management would not be in the interest of thepeople ? And does not this very question suggest another, andthat is, whether there is not a more important consideration in

the management of our canals than merely to make them pay all

the charges that are now brought against them 'I Cheap trans-

portation of freight is each year becoiiing of more and moreimportance in the development of our State and country. If, in

selling or leasing the canals, we should throw them into the

hands of a railroad monopoly, we do not think that a gain wouldhave been secured, even if the lessees or grantees enabled the

State to meet all present canal engagements. On the other hand>

some important points would be secured ;—first, our politics wouldbe relieved of that source of corruption ; and besides, in private

hands, the canals would probably be economically managed.

With proper legislative restrictions in the lease, therefore, it

might be possible to guard against the evils which that mode of

disposing of the canals would otherwise entail.

Our State Canals.—The questions relating to the management of our State canal system are the most serious now awaiting

the consideration of the Legislature. Notwithstanding the manyefforts which have been made during the past few years to secure

thorough and permanent reforms in their management, and to

make the system a profitable and productive property, we seemto have fallen far short of accomplishing these ends. It must beadmitted, therefore, that if the chief object is to make oujcanals seK-supporting, the system is a failure. It was necessarylast year to raise $3,880,035 in taxes to meet the deficiencies of

the canal fund; an amount more than three times as great as

was needed in 1868. During the fifteen months onding withDecember, the disbursements from the State Treasury on Auditor's

warrants an account of the canals were $7,110,236, and even this

large amount did not include many claims and certificates of

indebtedness outstanding at the end of the year. On the other

hand, it appears from the statistics published by the Auditor that

the receipts of tolls have fallen off from $4,418,308 in 1808 to

$'3314,9.53 last season, while the percentage of cost of maintenanceon the tolls has increased from 26.86 per cent, in 1808 to 79.94 per

cent, in 1871. In short, our State canal system, saddled with adebt of some ten millions, is falling beliindhand, and it appears to

nsj to be evident that either something must be done to relieve

the State from the burden, or else wtf must be satisfied to meetthese deficiencies in the canal fund by taxation. What, then,

shall be done ? The refasal of the people to ratify the Fundinglaw last year would indicate that either the plan proposed was not

understood, or else that the public could not see relief in that

direction. We think the idea is growing in favor which contem-

The New Movbmknt m Petroleum.—There has been

much excitement in the oil trade during the past two weeks, on

ac<x>uut of an organization said to include the leading refiners

in the country and the railroad companies engaged in the trans-

portation of oil. The corporate name of this organization is the" Southern Improvement Company," and it claims to represent a

powerful combination to control the oil trade, and by consolidat

ing all competition, secure the profits of producers, carriers andrefiners at the expense of consumers and exporters. The com-

pany is organized under a charter granted by the Legislature of

Pennsylvania on the 16th of April, 1870, which act among other

things vested the corporation formed under it with all the

powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the " Continental

Improvement Company," incorporated April 13, 1863, which,

granted the following important privileges :

To contract with any person, persone, flrra, corporation or any other party,howsoever formed, existing, or that may hereafter exist, to batid, conatruct,nmintain or manage any worlc, public or iirivate, and supply or furnish all

ueedful material, labor, implements, instruments and flxtarea of any andevery kind whatsoever, on such terms and conditions as may be agr*'ed upoulietwecn the parties respectively ; and shall have full power and authority tohold and own securities of any form, cither as collateral or otherwise, anddispose of the same at pleasure, and shall have power to hold, own anddispose of such other personal or real estate as a majority of the stock-holders of said corporation may at any lime approve, in writing or by resolu-tion, at any meeting: of the stoctcholders.

Under this comprehensive charter tlie company has been

organized for the ostensible purpose of protecting the refining

interests of the United States, and the railroad interests im-

mediately affected by the petroleum business. Those identified

with the movement claim that, within the past year, a very large

amount of crude oil has been shipped by the exporters, the

result of which has been the building up of refining interests

abroad, to the detriment of the refining interest at home ; that in

consequence of this scarcity of business for the domestic refiners,

there has been a ruinous competition among the refineries ; that

for these reasons the petroleum trade has been a losing one for

all engaged in it ; and that such losses can only be prevented in

future by the organization of a company able to handle all the

crude and refined oil in the country, and, by a proper mani

pulation of the markets, secure to both producers and refiners a

good profit the year round. The plan of the association pro-

vides that all refiners shall take stock to the amount

of these several refineries, and share in the earnings

of the company in proportion to the capacities of their respective

establishments. The railroads, including the New York Central,

Erie, Baltimore and Ohio, and Pennsylvania roads, are also to

share the profits of carrying on an equitable basis, and to maka

the combination successful are to charge a jiractically prohibitory

freight rate on oil and allow the refiners belonging to the associ-

ation a drawback of from 75c to $1 per barrel. As might be

expected, this movement is regarded by the producers aa an

attempt to organize a vast monopoly, the effect of which must be

to ruin the export trade, and, sooner or later, bankrupt the own-

ers of the wells. They claim that it is a desperate effort on the

part of the refiners to make a profit upon a refining opacity

vastly in excess of the requirements of the trade, and vigorous

measures of resistance are proposed to prevent the monopolists

from consummating their schemes, A plan to suspend operations

at the wells for a time and sell no crude oil to the company o

314 THE CHRONICLE [March 9,1871

tt8 agents is proposed, and excited meetings have been held m

the producing regions to devise means of breaking up the combin-

ation. Another scheme is that the producers, dealers and eastern

rePners unite in the immediate construction of a railroad from

TitusviUe to Buffalo, by way ol Jamestown, 106 miles, which

would give the producer an outlet to the Lakes and enable them to

export oil from this port or Montreal independent of any railroad

combination which may be formed. As for ourselves we doubt

whether the organization is as complete as is claimed, and whether

there is as muth to be feared from it. Combinations covering so

manv interests seldom hold together long or possess any great

pow^r in action, and we fancy in this case when the first excite-

ment has passed away it will be found that the interests affected

hftve been unnecessarily alarmed.

The FCT0RE of tub Buitish Ikon Interests.—A London

journal of high standing in the iron trade states that great in-

terest is now felt in the subject of new sources of supply for the

iron trade of that country. " At home or abroad, in foreign coun-

tries or in our own colonies, it is apparent tliat some additiona

sources of supply of iron must be found to enable our makers to

keep pace with the increasing requirements of the trade." That

the available supply of good ores in Great Britain is approaching

esliaustion would appear to be evident from the fact that for

some time it has been necessary to use large amounts of foreign

ore for manufacture in English furnaces. Since the application

of the Bessemer pi'ocejs of converting iron into steel, the con.

sumption of ores has very considerably increased, so that the

price of bo'-h ores and iron have advanced, until at present their

value is nearly one hundred per cent, greater than it was five

years ago. The only British ores which are said to be free from

deleterious substances, and which yield a good quality of iron

and steel, are those found in tlie carboniferous limestone of Cumberland and portions of Lancashire, and so great has been the

demand for them, that the supply is wholly inadequate to meet

the requirements of the furnaces now in operation. Companies

for the importation of ores from Spain and elsewhere have there-

fore been formed. These facts possess a considerable importance

} 1 their relation to tlie future of our own iron industries.

The Pbe-estption of Public Lands.—The House Commit-

tee on Public Lands reached a very sensible conclusion in agree-

ing to report a bill repealing the pre-emption laws. Theyhould have been repealed long ago. The homestead law makesample'provision for those who wish to make actual settlements

upon Government lands, and the pre-emption laws, which shouldhave been repealed when the homestead law was enacted, are

ugeful only to speculators who have made good use of them of

late. The bill to be reported further provides for a wholesomerestriction upon all future grants of public lands to railroads, if

any are made, obliging them to sell their lands to actual settlers

at a price not exceeding $2 50 per acre. Any regulations orlaws which may be effective in preserving what little remains ofthe public domain from speculators who have already succeededin acquiring possession of so large a part of it, are certainly de-Birable, and as this proposed legislation is designed to meet that•vil we hope it will be well considered, and result in the passageof iuch an act as will furnish an effectual remedy.

A Dblawabe and Chesapeake Bat Ship Canal Proposed.—A number of projects looking to the opening of water communi-cation between the Delaware and Chesapeake bays are now underdiecuMion

;and it is stated that a company has been organized

with a view to the opening of such a canal, if authority andasaistance can be obtained from the State of Maryland. Amongthe gchemes proposed is the route from Cabin Creek, on the Chop-tauk river, across the peninsula to the Delaware breakwater •

another plan i» a canal from the Sassafras river, on the Chesa-peake to the Delaware Bay, at or about Smyrna. It would seemhowever, that the easiest way in which to open water communi'.cation between tlie two bays would be to enlarge and deepen theDelaware and Chesapeake Canal, terminating at Delaware CityThlB canal has already an average depth of ten feet, which couldbe increased to twelve or fifteen feet, it desirable, at compara-tively small cost. Its length is but fourteen miles, and should itsenlargement be undertaken, it would, doubtless, prove of moregeneral utility than one dependent upon sea-going vessels only.In Its present form it completes the chain of direct water com-munication between New York and the Lake Ports on the northMd AlbeajATle and PmoUw sound* on the south,

They are secured by a first and only mortgage on the com-

pany's railroad (whicli will soon connect the Union Pacific road

at Fort Kearney with the City of St. Joseph, Mo., already an

important railroad centre), upon the franchises of the same—

upon the equipment and personal property of every description-

upon the Land Grant of the Company, granted by special act of

Congress, approved July 23, 1866, amounting to 1,700,000 acres

which has been officially certified to the company by the Com-

missioner of the General Land Office in his official report to

Congress, transmitted through the Secretary of the Interior,

January 10, 1872.

The bonds are issued only as they represent a completed and

equipped road ; all proceeds of bonds beyond this are held by the

Trustees in trust until the necessary completion entitle the com-

pany to these proceeds.

The road is built first-class in every paiticular, and has been so

received and accepted by tbe Department of the Interior.

The Mortgage Deed of Trust prohibits the sale of any of the

company's lands at less than four (4) dollars per acre, payable to

the Trustees, and applied to the payment of the bonds, through

the operation of the Sinking Fund. The payment of the bonds

before maturity is not compulsory upon the holders.

The bonds are therefore secured by two classes of property

combined in one mortgage, the value of either largely exceeding

the amount of bonds which can be issued under the mortgage.

Trustees—Farmers' Loan and Trust Company of New York.

The Bonds have thirty years to run, with both principal andinterest payable in gold. The principal payable in New York,the interest at eight (8 p. c.) per cent, payable in February andAugust either in New York, London or Frankfori-on-the-Main,

free of tax.

Price 97^ and accrued interest in currency. The bonds are

receivable at par and accrued interest in payment for the com-pany's land sales. Maps, circulars, documents and full informa-tion furnished on application.

The bonds of this company have always been received withfavor by investors and capitalists, have always commanded aready market, and we unhesitatingly recommend them—believingthis loan will rank equally with that of the Eastern Divisioniisues, which are now selling at a premium above par.

FnroAT Evening, March 8, 18'i2.

The Money Market.—The money market worked more easily

early this week, and the relaxation in rates confirmed the impres-

sion previously formed, that last week's stringency was due in

large part to speculative manipulation. The funds then withheld

having been restored to business channels, the market with stock

brokers has ruled during most of the week at 6@7 per cent, in

regular business hours, and at lower rates late in the day, for un-

employed balances. There was more activity in money on Thurs-

day, and as high as 7 per cent, gold, was sometimes paid, while

to-day, Friday, the demand was still sharper, and 7 gold was anordinary rate, with some exceptional transactions as high as 1-32

commission in addition to legal interest. The usual rate at bankhas been 7 per cent.

In the present condition of the banks, with their reserves

reduced to a low figure, the market is sensitive, as the very

knowledge that it is now comparatively easy for speculative com-

binations to make money stringent, engenders a cautious feeling

among brokers.

The U. S. Assistant Treasurer gives notice that the 3 per cent

^egal-tender certificates, dated August 1, 1868, of the denomination

of $5,000, from Nos. 3,415 to 3,519, inclusive, and of $10,000,

Nos. 3,349 to 3,495, inclusive, will be paid on presentation, andcease to draw interest after April 30, 1872.

The cable reports the specie in Bank of England reduced

£270,000 this week—bank rate unchanged. In the bank of

France si)ecie has increased 4,000,000 francs.

The last statement of our associated city banks showed a loss

of $123,575 in their excess above legal reserve ; the total liabili-

ties stood at $238,638,200, and the total reserve at $62,104,000.

being $2,444,450 in excess of 25 per cent of the liabilities.

The following statement shows the changes from previous weekand a comparison with 1871 and 1870 :

Commercial paper has not been very active ; the mercantile

demand for money is not pressing, and there is little inclination

to sell first-class names higher than 7 to 8 per cent. On the other

hand, these rates offer no great inducement to purchasers.

United States Bonds.—The market for government bonds

has been strong and active during all the week till to-day, whenthere was less business doing, and prices were not quite as firm.

The advance on 5-20s of 1867 and old 'C5s, which are the principal

issues in demand for the London market, has been about 1 per

cent., while the improvement on other issues, though not as large,

has been quite material. The most important feature in this mar-

ket has been the demand for London account, as the transactions

in American securities in that city have this week shown moreactivity, at higher quotations ; in fact, the present improve-

ment is the first real evidence of renewed life which has occurred

there since the depression consequent upon the treaty discussions.

Quotations to-day show a slight reaction from the highest figures

of the week. The Continental markets hardly show as muchfavor yet towards United States bonds ; their attention has been

more diverted to our railroad and municipal securities.

The Treasury programme this month includes the purchase of

$1,000,000 bonds on the 14th and 28th, but no sales of gold.

Closing prices dally and the range since Jan. 1 have been :

S»«te and Railroad Bondn.-Southorn Stato Bennrities havel>cen morfi active this weelc, and on several issues firmer. Ten-nessees. North Carolinas, Soutli Clarolinas and Virginias are allhigher. There seems to I)o a more hopeful feeling in regard to

!

the debt of North Carolina, and her bonds show a material ad-vance. In Soutli Carolina the tenor of legislation seems to be de-cidedly in favor of her bondholders. In Virginia tlie resolutionforbidding the receipt of coupons in payment of taxes, and pro-viding for the payment of 4 per cent, on the consol bonds, and ontwo-thirds of the unfunded debt, it is supposed will become a law.'Die bonds have advanced sharply, though it is probable tliat thiswas jiartly due to the " short" interest, which is known to havebeen largo in this marliot, particularly in the deferred certi-ficates.

The governing committee of the Stock Exchange has madethe following regulations

:

Railroad and IHIscellanconn Stocks. — The stock markethas been decidedly active, and prices are generally higher ; in fact,the list which we give below of the range of prices since January1 , shows that on a number of stocks the higliesf prices of the yearhave been made this week. The money market relaxed and wasreaeonably eaay during the early part of î week at 8@7 per

cent, though it baa been tighter yesterday and toJay, with 7 percent gold ag an ordinary rate at the close. In a<ldition to thegeneral strength of tlie market several prominent stocks Iibvbbeen advanced from special causes. Union Pacific is liigher inconsequence of the election of a new board of directors, and Mr.Horace F. Clarke as president, placing the road under control ofthe " Vanderbilt" party. Erie is active on the strength of pend-ing legislation at Albany. Northwestern and Rock Inland areboth influenced by the Union Pacific election. Pacific Mail, whichhas been the most prominent speculative feature of the market,is the subject of a sharp cont<:8t between opposing parties ; onThursday it touched 63}, but closed to-day at 01^. The " bears"have resorted to legal proceedings, and the officers have beensummoned to show cause why they should not be enjoined fromlending the funds of the company. The tone of the market,after some fluctuations during the (lay, closed tolerably firm.

fhe following were the highest and lowest prices of theacthelist ofrailroad and miscellaneous stocks on each day of the lastweek

Gold has been quite steady at 110 to llOf,

closing to-night at 1104<allOJ. There has been little or no specu-

lative interest in the market, and the price has been left to take anatural course. The most Important topic of discussion now, as

the course of gold, is in regard to the probable effect of the pay-

ment of $40,000,000 5-20 bonds by the Treasup- this month. It

seems impossible to obtain at present any definite information of

the amount of cash gold which will be thrown on our market.

Of the bonds " called" interest ceased on $20,000,000 the 7th inst.,

and on the other $20,000,000 will cease the 20th. On gold loans

the rates to-day for carrying were 3^, 3, 4, and 7 per cent. TheTreasury will sell no gold this month. Customs receipts amountto $2,725,000 for the week.The following table will show the course of the gold premium

each day of the past week :

IForelgn Excliange.—Exchange has been quiet, and without

much variation during the week. The influences upon the mar-

ket are much the same as when we last wrote. The improvementin tone noticeable in the London market, and the renewal of de-

mand for American securities by foreign bankers here, together

with the effect of some considerable amounts of borrowed bills

sold, have had an effect adverse to higher rates.eodaya.

Railroad Bondn-DclaiiltM III Interest.—HefKrence wanmnde Inst week in tliis rolunin to tlie relatively small amount of

rRilriind boiidH upon wliicli any default has recently occurred in

till) payment of interest, when taking into consideration the

enormous anion nts of these s' curilies which have been nego-

tiated at home and abroad, witliin the past six years, since the

clofo of onr civil war. In the following remarks, and in future

nnmhers of TiiE CiiKONici.E, we shall notice briefly the principal

bonds upon which default has bren made

:

North Mi»»onri Railroad second mort(raire 7 per cent bonds,dated October 1, 1868, nmountintr to 14,000,000. Interest was notpaid on these bonds in April, 1871. and on the 26th of Ausrustlast, the road was pold undir foreclosn re for ^2,000,000, subject to

the first mortpaKe of |0,000,000. The second mortBaKe bondswere originally issued to certain parlies in consideration of their

havinis; bought up the claim of the State against the road, andwere liy them marketed at 60 to 80. There is a prospect that onsettlement the holders will receive 50 per cent of the par value oftheir bonds. By the foreclosure sale $5,000,000 of third mortgagebonds and $8,;i57,550 of stuck were cancelled or "wiped out." Thestock sold at 35 a few years since, at 20 in January, 1871, and at 2in August last. There were numerous other complications in thecempany's aflairs, and j articularly in regard to the lien of theState, and the stock held by the City of St. Louis, which it is notpracticable to refer to herein detail; it is now stated, however,that the State lien, which was supposed to have been paid, hasbeen purcha-^ed by the parties referred to, and is now held bythem. The company has been entirely reorganized as the "St.l^mU, Kansas City & Northern, Itailrond."

D(t Moiuft Vnlley Railroad Vo. : This Company issuedtwo bonds, bearing each 8 ))er cent. The first issue Is dated in

1857. and is a first lien on the road from Keokuk to Des Moines,161 miles, and ainounls to |2,:U0.000, about $14,000 per mile.Ttie second issue, dated in 1868, is known as the Land Grantbond, and is a first Men on the road from Des Moines to FortDodge, 87 miles, also on lands granted by the United States

—

466,000 acres—and a secor.d lien on the line of road covered by thebonds of 1857. This issue amounted to $4,600,000.

Interest on both classes of bonds was i>aid until October, 1871,wlmn default w^as made on both. The officers of the Companywere then changed, and an effort was made to get the holders ofthe Land Grant bonds to take lands in payment for principal andinterest of their lK>nds. One million and a half have been soconverted, principally by the officers of the Company. On the 5thof Felirnary the new President of the Company, who is one ofthe Trustees on the Land Grant bonds, issued a circular, in whichhe says that the taxes are in arrears $30,000 : that the interestpaid April, 1871, was borrowed, and proposing that a new com-pany shall be organized. Thi:< proposition has not been accededto, and on Thursday, February 20, a meeting of holders of thebonds of 1857 was held to take into consideratio" tlie proprietyof instituting a foreclosuri^ suit. It seemed to be the o(iiniou ofthis meeting that if properly managed the road would earn morethan sufficient to pay the interest on these bonds. As points oflaw liad to be examined before action could be had, a co i iiiittee

was appointed with full power. The holders of the Land GrantIwnds have as yet taken no action towards foreclosure, and thesebonds are now selling at about 45, as they are still exchangeablefor land.

The last named bonds seem to have been issued at a large rateper mile, but only a small amount was sold in the ojien market,and those at 00. A meeting of the holders of land grant bondsis called for the 13lh of April proximo, to take sucU measuresas may seem advisable.BONn.s ON WHICH i«SMI-ANNITAL ISTBRBST IS PATABLB IN APRIL IN NEW TOHKFor the convenience of investors wo have compiled from our-

The foregoing report is supplemented with comments, which goon to say that the revenues for the company for the year havefallen considerably below the estimate, owing mainly to the de-tention caused liy the storms which have prevailed throughoutthe entire winter. The weather has been unprecedontedly severe,and precautions which, according to the experience of all previousyears, were ample, proved insufficient. Everything, however,that, in the opinion ot the Chief Engineer and general superin-tendents would expedite the traffic upon the line and secure thecomfort of those who were delayed was provided, and it isbelieved that no actual suffering resulted from the detention.By judicious management in the operation of the line the netearnings, it will be seen, show a handsome increase over tho«e oflast year and approximate the estimate made in the report sub-mitted at the last meeting.The bridge over the Missouri, at Omaha, has been pressed to

completion, and will be open in a few days for the passage oftrains.

OPERATIONS OF TIIE LAND DEPARTMENT.The operations of the Land Department during the year have been

satisfactory. The number of acres soldfrom March 1 to December31, 1871, to 1,182 purchasers has been 192,275 82-100, yielding incash $733,581 85, an average of $3 81 per acre. The cash receiptsof the Land Department from March 1 to December 31, 1871, hasbeen $319,(589 49, and out of these $'2'29,000 of land grant bondswere cancelled by that department and over $80,CKX) remitted tothe trustees under the mortgage securing the same. Tip to theclose of the year 1871 500,tK)0 acres have been sold in all, yielding;$2,102,123 !t6 ; an average of $4 20 9-100 per acre ; and the amountof land grant bonds cancelled has been, by the Department $035,-000; by Trustees, $251,000; and for the balance, the company landnotes, maturing in one, two and ihree years, with interest. Thereceipts have thus far been more than sufficient to take care ofthe interest upon the outstanding land bonds.

The percentage of increase was 13 per cent., being a gain of 6per cent, on the increase of tlie preceding year.The price received for moving one ton one mile in 1871 was

1 73-100 cents, being 17-100 of a cent less than in 1870.The operating expenses were 70 6 100 per cnt. of the receipts,

being 1 26-100 per cent, more than the previous year.The percentage of working expenses might be materially re-

duced by charging to capital or construction account variousitems of expenditure, which, under the system adopted by thecompany, are now charged in the regular working expenses.The operations of the leased lines have been satisfactory. All

of them show an increase in trade, whilst the Shamokin divisionhas increased largely in trade and profit.

Owing to the character of our leases and trackage contract forthe use of the line beyond Elmira, we have been somewhat em-barrassed in the operations of the Chemung and Canandaiguaroads. To get a more perfect control of those roads, we havebeen endeavoring to secure them, either by purchase or perpetuallease, and hope now to consummate some permanent arrange-ment.There has been added during the year $141,897.91 to the sink-

ing fund, making the total amount now in that fund $863,397.91.It having become desirable to get possession of the majority of

the stock of the Shamokin Valley & Pottsville Railroad Company,for the purpose of arranging for the bonded debt of that com-pany, amounting to $700,000, which matures on the 1st of Augustnext, and for the payment of which we are responsible under thelease, as authorized by you at your last annual meeting, we sold12,034 shares of the stock of this company, and purchased a likenumber of shares of that company. To meet the bonds referredto, and to pnrchafse additional coal lands, the Shamokin Valley &Pottsville Railroad Company issued a mortgage loan for $2,000,000,which bonds have been endorsed by this company and the Phila-delphia & Erie Riilroad Company.The Shamokin Valley & Pottsville Railroad Company now own

6,000 acres of coal land—sufficient to provide a large amount oftonnage for this line, independent of all other sources.Mr. Cameron was re-elected president of the company.

lows:—As the results of a co-npromise, the Senate today passedover the Governor's veto, the House bill repealing the recdiva-

bilily of coupons for taxes and other public dues, and bothbranches of the Assembly passed a bill to pay four per cent, in-

terest this year on two-thirds of the wliole State debt, providedthat those accepting this interest acquiesce in the repfâl of receiv-

Trade has boen generally dull during the past week, and

in most of the leading staples of domestio produce prices

have latterly shown a downward tendency. This miiy be

attributed in part no doubt to the unseasonably sfivere

weather and the accumulation of ico in our hirbor. Thes;^

circumstances hat-e impeded business in many ways, while

the approach of spring, and the season when business should

be good, has caused increased desire to reduce stocits in

store by sales to shippers or consumers ; hence more or less

decline in prices, accompanied with an unsettled feeling.

Cotton advanced %o. early in the week, but has since de-

clined and closed dull at 22|c. for Middling Uplands. Flour

has been dull and drooping; shipping extras, 16 fi5@7.

"Wheat lower and nominal; No. 2 spring, $1 48@1 53.

Corn in good demand at 70c. for prime mixed afloat. Of

groceries we notice a decline in coflTee and sugar, with somedepression in rice, and molasses dull.

In provisions there has been a decided decline in pork,

bacon, and lard, owing mainly to the retirement of specula-

tive and continental buyers, leaving the market without

other support than the English demand, which, thoughliberal, has taken advantage of the anxiety to realize to oIj-

tain lower prices. New mess pork decliried on Wednesdayto $13 25, spot and March; prime Western steam lard to

9 5-16c., and short clear bacon to 7;Jc. These prices called

out an active demand, especially for pork and lard, andprices showed some leaction yesterday, but to-day (he turnwas again downward, new mess pork sold at $13 30 for thelast half of March, and $13 50 for May

; prime nies^ nom-inal at $13 50@13 75; prime Western steam lard sold at

9^., on the spot, and 9|c. for April. The market for beefhas been depressed by the advices of large quantities beingoffered at auction in London, Paris and Marseilles

;prices,

however, remain about steady. Butter and cheese beingvery scarce, have further advanced.

Tallow has slightly improved;

prime Western city, 9J(29^0. Oloverseed has been quiet, thi principal businessbeing in prime Indiana at 10@ lOô. per lb. Whisky closesfirm and active at 90c. Hops firm, with some movementreported in the older growths for export. Hides firm ; dryMontevideo, 28c., gold, with a demand fully equal to thesupply. Leather very firm at the late advance. Petroleumfirm and moderately active; refined, 22fc., in bbls., and28^0., in cases, with crude in bulk held at 13|c. Rosin hasbeen depressed and unsettled, closing nomii.alat about U 50for strained. Spirits turpentine has recovered to 85@86.'.

1? reights have been dull, and although available roomlimitea,rate^ have declined

; the Liverpool steamers havetaken wheat at 5d.; provisions at 12s. Cd., and cotton at U-and the Glasgow steamers took corn to-day at 5U. Petro-leum charters have been very active, but at low and irregu-lar rates. °

Kentucky leaf tobacco has been dull; stocks of the oldcrop are nearly exhausted, and it is considered that the newcrop 18 held too high for exporters. The sales have conse-quently been limited to about 200 hhds., mostly fl.r homeusef; we quote lugs at 7f@8fc.; common medium leaf, 9@

Oar market the past week has fluctuated considerably. Opening on Saturday at 221c for middling uplands, prices gradually

improved until on Tuesday the closing quotation was 22|c. Since

then, however.there has been a steady decline, at the close to-night

low middling uplands being quoted at 22c, and middling at 22{c,

with the market heavy and prices nominal, buyers being unwilling

to operate even at the decline. Afterchange, however, there was a

somewhat better feeling. The cause of the dullness this week is

found in the high prices [ruling, shutting out as they do all ship

ping orders, while the stock is large and the spinning demandlight. Hence, although the receipts at our ports have been very

sma'l, favoring the smallest crop estimates, no effect of the small

receipts has been perceptible. The fluctuations of the weekhave been due to the movements at Liverpool, which took an

upward turn, the first half of the week advancing from J<®|d,

but has since been dull and heavy, having declined again to Hi@lli<i for middling uplands. For forward delivery the fluctuations

have, in the main, corresponded wilh tlie fluctuations for spot cot-

ton. The last quotations for futures were (basis low middling) 21

15-16c. for March, 22ic. for April, 22}c. for May, 23c. for June, 23c.

for .July, and 23c. for August. The total sales of this des.

cription for the 5veek are 103,600 bales, including free onboard. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week14,839 bales, including 3,696 for export, 3,983 for consumption,

119 for speculation, and 7,043 in transit. Of the above,

bales were to arrive. The following are the closing quotations

WEATHER REPORTS BY TELEGRAPn-From New Orleans our

telegrams report that there has been no rain durmff the week.

A Galveston the planting continues to progress -pidly they

have had no rain to interfere ;planters are sending m their cotton

freely and have now marketed about three-quarters of the crop.

The weather at Mobile has been warm, dry and pleasant. Cloudy

weather all week is reported at Memphis «.ith a fall of ram to-

day At Selma the weather has continued fine with the exception

of one rainy dav. There has beeu no rain at Columbus. Warm

weather is reported at Augusta. Early in the week at Charleston

there wasafall of raio, but later there has been continued pleasant

weather At Montgomery one day of rain with quite a severe

storm ;farmers there generally complain of being behind in their

planting. At Nashville there have been two rainy days. A clear

and pleasant week at Macon except one rainy day. The ther-

mometer at Memphis has averaged 46 ; at Charleston, 47

;

at Columbus, 56; at Montgomery, 64 ; at Macon, 48; at Selma,

60 ; at Galveston, 58.

Overland MovEME^^' to J.a.nuart 1.—We are at length able

to present our readers with a statement of the overland move-

ment of cotton up to the first of January. Our returns are now

full, and, we think, indicate a very close approximation to the

actual movement. We would refer our readers to our annual

report for an explanation of oar mode of making up these figures.

The statement is as follows :

Bales.

DcdURi receipts overland at New York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphiato January 1 82.038

Leaving total direct to mills from Sept. 1, '71, to Jan. 1, "R 98,555

We see from the foregoing table that up to January 1 the

movement direct to the mills had been only 98,555 bales. Last

year the total figures for the entire year were 228,933 bales ; the

above would indicate that for the twelve months ending Septem-

ber 1, 1872, the total cannot be much in excsss of, and perhaps

will fall below, 170,000 bales.

Bombay SniP.MENTS.—Our Bombay telegram received to-night

gives the shipments to Great Britain for the week at 37,000 bales,

and to the continent, 8,000 bales, while the receipts at Bombayduring the same time have been 40,000 bales. The movementsince the first of January is as follows. These are the figures ol

W. Nicol & Co., of Bombay, and are for the week endingMonday

:

.-Shipments this week to-, ^Shipments since Jan. 1 to-.Great Con- Great Con- Wepk'aBritain, tlncnt. Total. Britain. tlnent. Total reeekils

From the foregoing it would appear that compared with lastyear there is an increase this year in the week's shipments to GreatBritain of 18,000 bales, and that the; total movement since Jan. 1

shows an increase in shipments of 103,000 bales over the corresponding period of 1871 while the receipts at Bombay continueto be largely in excess of a year ago. Our dinpatch to-nighthas in it no information with r»gard to the crop.

GUKNY Bags. Bagging, &c.-The market for cloth has beendull the past week if we judge from actual transactions. Therehas been, however, a considerable demand from consumers anddealers, but buyers are not willing to meet the advanced views ofsellers. We hear of no business here, but in Boston 100 rolls do-mestic sold for prompt delivery at 16Jc., and 500 rolls at 18c thelatter for delivery May 1. The asking prices at the close arelOJc, gold in bond, for native, and 17@17ic., currency, for Domestlo. Bags have been in very limited request, and saltsconfined to about 12,000 empty linseed bags at 23Jc. each •

we quote standard at 17i@18c., currency. Hemp is dull, and forManila the market is a little easier ; 1,000 bales have been sold toarrive, but no terms are given

; the nominal asking price is still13c., gold. Jute butts are in light demand, but buyers generallybid a fraction below the price ruling last week. The sales are750 bales here at 3fc, currency

; 100 bales at 3|c., and 1,000 balesiu Boston at SJc., gold.

Visible Supply of Cotton Made up by Cable and Tble-pBAra.—By cable we have to-night the etocks at all the Earopean

ports, the India cotton afloat for all of Europe, and the American

afloat for each port as given below. From figures thus received,

we have prepared the following table, showing the quantity of

cotton in sight at this date (March 8) of each of the two past

seasons

BRE ADSTUPPB.FiuDAT P. M.. March 9, 18W.

The market this tvcek has been dull and depressed for flourand wheat

; but, in the coarser stofrs, the demand has been fairwith prices, in pome cases, showing a slight improvement.The flour market has come almost to a stand still ; tlie deelino

abroad has compelled shippers to retire, and the local trade haadone but the merest jobbing business. Heceipts have been onlymoderate, and some favorite styles of flour are (carce ; holders,consequently, have not been disposed to Bltmulate business by ac.

oepiing reduced price.1; Southern flour, especially, remains quitefirm. Kye flour and corn meal steady but quiet. To-day themarket was very dull and depressed, with prices unsettled.

Wheat has been dull, and since the decline in Liverpool, advisedby Cable early in the week, nominal quotations have been re-

duced li^.lc. per bushel, especially for spring growths. OnWednesday afternoon three boatloads of fair No. 1 spring sold at

f 1.57(11$!..17 J afloat, and yesterday the best bid for prime No. 2C!hicago spring in store was $1..50. A decline in ocean freights

partially offset the decline abroad, but receipts at all points at

the West begin to increase, and for last week compared favora-

bly with previous years. To-day the market was very dull, withXo. 1 spring reported offered at $1.5.5 in store, but in the ab-

sence of transactions our quotations must be regarded as quite

nominal.

Corn has been in diminished supply, and has ruled a shadefirmer, although the demand both for export and home use hasbeen very moderate. The business has been mainly at [email protected] Western mixed, and 71@71 \c. for Southern and Western yel-

low, afloat. The ice in the rivers and l)ay has been quite heavy,

and has caused the delivery of corn sold to be difficult and ex-

pensive. This has rendered holders as well as buyers indifferent

about operating, because it was believed that in a very few daysthe ice will disappear, or cease to be a serious obstacle to naviga-

tion. To-day there was a decline of Ic. under a pressure to sell,

and prime new Western mixed afloat was active at 70c.

Rye dull ; a load of Western sold early in the week at 94Jc.,

afloat, but quotations are now nominal. Burley has been salable.

mainly at 75@80c. for 2-rowed Stale, and |1 14@1 20 for CanadaWest. Oats have been more active and prices are slightly higher ;

.several boat loads of prime No. 3 Chicago have sold at 52ic. in

store, and 55c. afloat, with the usual business in car loads as theyarrive. To-day there was some further improvement, with sales

of prime No. 3 Chicago in store at 53c.

Trade Report.—The advices from Manchester are less favorable and cans.' adnlness In tne cotton market.

The Exports ok Cotton fkcnc (.'ALCirrTA.—According toofHcial returns just completed, it appears that the export of Bengalcotton from Calcutta during the past year has been much larger,with but one exception, than it has been during the previous nineyears. The following figures will show the quantity of cottonexported from Calcutta each year from 1883 to the close ef 1871.In 1802 the number of bales shipped was 103,:S38 ; 18G3, 130,736;1884. 182,014; 1865, 344,674: IWifl, 411,180; 1807, 371,390; 1808,360,903; 1869,210,479; 1^*70, 157,011 ; and 1871, 399,000—makingtlie total shipments for the ten years 2,478,581 bales. In connec-tion with the general exports from Calcutta, the only article that i

has really fallen off" to an appreciable extent is rice, "and it wouldappear that in this staple Bengal cannot compete with Saigon,Bankok, or Burmab.

GROCERIES.wui . . .

Fridat EyiNrao. March 8, 1872Without any great increase of the amount of business dînl orespecial buoyancy on prices, the general tone of the market hasimproved a trifle during the week, and a somewhat healthier feeling prevails. An idea, entertained in some quarters, that thepresent rates of import duties will not be disturbed at all and avery general impression that, even if changes are made, nothingw. go into effect before the 1st of July, has a tendency to partially restore confidence and induce the purchase of goods likely

to be wanted within a month or two. Still, bu.yers do jjj )t movewithout considerable caution, and the general incliLation is to

allow the importer to carry stocks, especially as the accumula-

tions are fair, there is nothing to indicate any decided increase of

cost, and by holding off there is a possibility, and, in some cases,

a probability of modified values. In short, buyers occupy some-

thing of an independent position, and know it.

The entries direct for consumption, and the withdrawals from

bond, showing together the total thrown on the market for the

week, were as follows :

TEA.While there has been no decided recovery of tone, and the movement of

goods so far as reported is not unusual, the market has shown a better

general condition than last weelc, and dealers were correspondingly encour -

aged The belief that the duty will not be meddled with for several months,

has had the effect to induce small dealers and some interior buyers to comeforward and look up supplies for early wants, and this improvement in the

tine trade has been felt on the wholesale market. Jobbers are by no meansinclined to handle large amounts, and nothing unless they are almost certain

of finding a re-sale at an early day ; but a good many are examining invoices

suited to their special wants. A few sales have been made, and the previous

almost prostrate condition of business sttems to have at least partially dis-

appeared. In some cases prices are a shade easier, and this helps trade a

little, but the reduction is unimportant, and the position has a generally steady

tone. The sales iuînvolces embrace 2,600 Greens, 1,900 Oolongs, and 500

Japans, beside a few other parcels not reported.

Imports this week have included 221,201 lbs. Black, per "Catharine,"

from Ilong Kong, and 631,551 lbs. Japan, per "Mikado," from Yokohama.

The receipts indirectly have been 133 pkgs. by steamer and 8,591 by rail

overland.

including San Francisco), from January 1 to date, in 1872 and lt>71

The indirect importations, including receipts by Pacific Mail steamers via

Aspinwall. have been 41,197 pkgs. since January], against 5,312 last year.

COFFEE.The volume of actual business has not greatly increased and the market

daring the pas* week again showed a pretty dull tone, but the feeling of

extreme prostration has in a measure become broken and the outlook is nowmore encouraging. There is an inclination on the part of the great majority

of buyers to postpone operations until after the argument on the tariff ques-

tion in Congress which is expected to take place on Monday next, the llth

inst.; but the assurance that if a change is made in the tariff it will not gointo effect before the first of July, and a growing belief that no change will

be made at all has a strong tendency to restore confidence, and those whoreally want goods iiave been looking and some have already opened negoti"

ations. The bids thus far as a rule have been low, indeed rather under the

views of the least sanguine of holders, but it is a decided relief to even find

bids current, and as matters became straightened out and understood anincreased movement is looked for. Jobbers commence to find their customers

more attentive, some through personal attendance and some through inquiries

by mail, and considering the previous apathy the distribution for the weekhas been very fair and included nearly all the leading grades. With a better

opportunity afforded to judge of values by the revival of interest amongoperators, it is at last possible to fix upon something like a fair quotation for

Brazils, and the revised figures show a considerable reduction from previous

nominal rates and are based on a few actual sales. The long period of dull-

ness was of itself almost sufficient to modify the cost, but additional depress-ing influences were to be found in large accumulation now on hand and rather

less encouraging accounts from Rio Janeiro. The offerings at the lower figures,

however, are in the main from outside and irregular parcels, the principal

holders rather resisting a decline, and some in fact stating a preference for

buying rather than selling at the present cost. Of the East and West Indiastyles there is a goodly amount here and a very fair assortment, but holdersthink much better of their stock than a week ago, and generally display apretty firm tone for all desirable parcels. Sales of 1,672 bags Rio. 1,600 bagsMaracaibo,i]50 bags Jamaica. 800 bags Costa Rica, and 4,409 bags LagnayraImports this week have included 4,857 bags Rio, per " Sidouian," and 2,960

bags of sundries.

Rawk h.ivc not shown mnny ni'w features worthy of sprrlal notice since onr

lastn^port, tlionKhna a rule, the i;<^ncral lone was a little more steaiiy, and

the sellini; interest at times found It possible to claim and hold the advantage

of thepositinu. This was duo maiidy to the slow arrivals, and a fallinKoff

instead of an Increase of the supply, which kept the stock well under con-

trol, and prevented any creat accomnlatloii on wharf. The demand, however,

has not improved to any percepllhlc extent, and all buyers still display a

most decidedly cautious manner In tlicir movements, in part, owinR lo con"

tinned expectations of larê amounts of snâr coming in together at any

moment ehonld a few days of favorable winds prevail, but mainly owinf; to

a small and iinremuncratlve outlet neither the trade or relluers flndin-; their

orders iucreasiiiK to any extent, and the latter class of operators flndin:; it

almost impossible to keep the production low cnoui;h to prevent an accuinu-

lalion except they cease work, and this would be even more expensive than to

sell at a small loss. We do not hear any complaints about importc'rs e.<vaeli>ip

too much for their goods, tluiUKh current rates are not called low, but the

main trouble is the uncertainty about re-sales, and the evident inclination of

the interior dealers to keep their movementa on a close basis of actual wants,

a course of action which is followed in turn by buyers here. The assortment

available thus far lias been very fair, though containing a somewhat larger

pro|>ortion of the higher Rrades llian usual, and Cenlrifu:,'als have in consc-

qnon4-i' proven a little the most seusitivc to depressing intlnencca. Kcfincd

have continued to sell mmtcrately, especially dnring the early portion of the

While not particularly buoyant or developing features calculated to lead

to the belief that a free outlet would be provided for stock, the general tone

of the market lias, if anylhing, been a little more encouraging. Old crop is

1 ess plenty, and as there is now and then a little call covering even the poorest

lotJ<, wlilch are wanted for distilliii;;, hoidera ask full rates and ofler with

moderation. The new crop has scarcely come forward with the freedom an-

ticipated, and as most of the unsold arrivals thus far have attracte<I enoughattention to keep tne market comparatively bare of stock, importers feel

greater confldence, and some talk rather llmier, though hardly inclined as yet

to ask a decided advance. Boiliu;; grades liavc attracted the most attention,

and as refiners gradually resume the prodtictioR the demand is likely to in-

crease. Domestic has increased in value and decreased in stocic, with wliat

remains on hand well under control and owners somewhat indilferent aboutselling, as there is thought to be nothing available at any other point to comeI nto competition. For 8yrupa the Inquiry has kept up well, and many of thesales ctTecled were at fully 8c. per gallon over the lowest point, with a firm

tone still preserved. The low grades of molasees stock and sugar stock fromabout good np, have been the favorite q ualities. Sugar-house molasses is

wanted, but the reduced stock checks bnsiness and makes values little betterthan nominal for the time being. We note galea of 1,615 bbla. New Orleansand 67 hhds. Dcmerara.

Indications favorable for a gradual growth of the call, esp<-clally when Interior

bnycra can be assured that the duty will not be meddled with.

FRIIITH. &c.There Is evidently a better feeling in the market for foreign dried trnlta,

without, however, leading to any great amount of activity. Malaga ralslna

show more etrengtli, and sellers have rather the advantage, with generally a

fair trade inquiry, Loose Muscatels have also been in good demand, with

sales at $2 82;i@$'. now held at the outside figure. Otln'r raisins rather

quiet. Currants remain steady at former prices. New Tnrklsh prunes are

selling miMlefately at unchanged prices. Olil Turkish prunes are firm, and

generally witiidrawii from the market, and held for biuher prices. Prunellca

are becoming scarce and holders very firm at 2«)c. in a jobbing way for prime.

Italian figs arc firm. Citron is quiet but strong. Sardines arc selling slowly

at about former figures, but the stock Is very light and higher prices looked

for. Almonds are quiet, and in fact most all kinds of foreign unta are doll.

All other descriptions rule quiet at unchanged quotations.

Foreign Green—The market continues quiet fur all kinds, but prices do not

show any material changes. We quote In a Jf)bbing way, Palermo lemons,

Domestic Green.—Tliere is very little if anything new to note in the market

for green apples; the demand continues slow, although there has been a few

more sales than heretofore owing to the concessions offered by holders on

parcels beginning to rot. Cranberries arc scarce and firm at full former

prices. We quote as follows: Apples, Michigan, &c., per bbi.,t2(g>3; do.

330 THE CHRONICLE. [Marcli 9, 1872.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.Fkiday. p. M.. March 8, 187S

• The business of the current week has been chiefly in the job-

bing houses, and is only moderate in the aggregate. There is

some improvement to note since our last report, many of the

buyers in the city having been free purchasers of full packages,

while there has also been a good Inquiry for piece goods.

Buyers are coming in from the interior in considerable numbers

in consequence of a more active demand from consumers for all

descriptions of goods. The crossroads trade are laying in their

assorted slocks for spring distribution. Prices have maintained a

good degree of steadiness on all classes of cotton goods, and are

without notable change since our last review. The retail trade

here and in the interior is fairly active, although the weather has

not been favorable for general demand from consumers. Col-

lections are reoorted easy in most sections of the West and

South, and the distribution during the remainder of the season

promises to be liberal, unless some unforseen drawback occurs.

Domestic Cotton Goods.—The market for the leading cotton

fabrics remains very firm, with no material variation in prices on

any line. Brown and bleached goods continue to be firmly held,

and prices have been generally revised to correspond with the

established rates in first hands. The stock in first hands con-

tinues light, but some makes, chiefly of the medium and lower

grades, are beginning to accumulate in small amounts. Colored

cottons are relatively low, but are still slow of sale, and are not

likely, apparently, to be much higher during the remainder of

the season.

Prints have sold very fairly in desirable light effects, and the

market is pretty well cleared of all leading brands. Prices are

held firmly at former quotations, and are likely to be advanced as

goon as trade gets well under way. Agents do not find the pres-

ent prices remunerative, but are not disposed, by an advance at

the opening of the season, to injure the prospects of the general

trade. Lawns and percales are firm and in fair request, notwith-

Btanding that the weather has been unfavorable. Prices are firm

and chiefly unchanged.

Domestic Woolen Goods.—The general trade in woolens is

not very animated this week, though the demand for some styles

of goods continues fairly active. There is a fair inquiry for fine

and medium light weight fancies for the spring trade, and theholders of these goods maintain prices firmly. Large buyers are

inquiring for faced goods, which are offering in limited amounts,but the prices asked are generally so far above buyers' views asto restrict sales. Flannels are strong but quiet. Plain reds arescarce and nothing under oOc. is available. There is some de-mand for repellants at old prices, which are well sustained.Spring shawls are selling moderately at very good prices, andthe assortments in first hands have already been considerablybroken.

FOKEIGN Goods.—The demand for imported fabrics of all de-criptions continues to show rather more activity. In dressfabrics, the same classes of goods which have been run uponduring the early season, met with an average inquiry, andletailers. as well as buyers from the South and West, boughtfreely in grenadines. Pongees, Japanese, imitation do., poplinsand Glasgow ginghams. A large lot of delaines of a mixture offlowered and striped patterns were sold for the West. In whiteimported goods, organdies were in demand for summer suitingsIn woolen goods of the highest class there has been more doingthan in the early part of the week, and both importers and job-bers did a considerable business. Fine Yorkshire and West ofEngland, as well as French, were in demand in solid colorsespecially browos and olives. Light suit cloths, in plains andBtripes, met with a fair inquiry, and cassimeres, in drabs andBtone colors, lavender, etc , at current rates.

Several of the importers are ordering next season's supply of•mt cloths chiefly in small plaids
