ECONOMY ASJ) PDRITY VS. THE I.\DIAN BUREAU.

Mr. Cox has given us a very interesting speech in

opposition to the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the

war department; but we are not able to feel that tlie

argumonts advanced are conclusive. His chief, if not

only, point appears to be that the transfer means war

•with the Indians; an abandonment of all attempts to

pacify, enlighten, civilize, Christianize them; and the

adoption of a brutal exterminating policy instead. If

this is what the change implies, the united voice of the

community would be raised in opposition. It is unfor-

tunately, at times, necessary to do what seems cruel, iu

punishment of worse cruelty; but, aside from that, the

" peace policy" has very few opposcrs.

What proof then is offered that this change means

war? Certainly, the heads of the "U'ar Department and of

the Indian Bureau are, and always will be, civilians; so

in that particular the transfer can make no difference.

Back of them both would be the same Congress and the

same President; and hence one authority would neces-

sarily govern and control them. If the legislative

branch of the government and its head intended warand extermination, a separate Indian Bureau would be

as pliant a tool as the War Department; or, if peace

and conciliation were the policy adopted, either would

find it necessary to be in accord with, and to execute

the will of, the administration. Certainly, then, there is

nothing in the Department itself to justify or encourage

the idea which seems to pervade the speech of Mr. Cox.

Nor can we see the force of the objection urged whenwe go one step further,—to the army. Certainly, if the

Presidfint and the Department are in accord as to the

policy to be pursued, a subordinate officer will not so far

forget his duty as to go counter to his instructions. Wehave always been led to suppose that no bod^' of menwould execute orders more implicitly than' the army.

And if they were inclined to do otherwise, they have

every opportunity now. In fact, the change would place

them no nearer the Indians than they now are. Theywould hold the same military positions and no others.

The only difference would be that officers detailed for

'the duty would act in the place of the present agents at

the agencies. The army, as a military force, would do

nothing that it does not already do. We cannot see,

therefore, how, even on Mr. Cox's theory, there would

be any greater probability than at present of severe or

cruel measures being used, while the superior education

of the West Point graduate, and the greater refinement

and delicacy which are natural accompaniments of

culture, ought especially to fit them for all the arts of

diplomacy.

Then, again, we do not see the force of the illustrations

used; in fact, they seem to be a little unfortunate. Forinstance, much is made of the Piegan and also of the

Black Kettle campaigns. Suppose we grant that they

were precisely as unjustifiable and cruel as is claimed

—

what does that prove ? Remember, those acts were all

done while the Indian Bureau exists, and consequently

under its jurisdiction and, probably, with its approval and

direction; as Mr. Cox says, we hear of " no remonstance" against these outrages on the part of the board of

" Indian peace commissioners, or of the mission boards

" of the various churches to whom the selection of agents

" was remitted, or even the Indian Bureau itself." It

would seem, therefore, that these cases furnish as no

S62 THE CHRONICLK [Apiil 15, 18:6.

proof of what is to happen when the War Department is

in control, but simply, if his version of them is true, of the

inefficiency of the Indian Bureau. We cannot understand

how a system not yet tried is to be blamed for the short-

comings of the existing system which it is proposed to

displace. And even less fair is it to charge on the

whole army the shortcomings (if such they be) of a

leading officer of that army. The facts stated, if accur-

ately stated, would be a very good argument to show that

some other officer should be put in command; but they

come very far short of proving that every graduate of

West Point is cruel, heartless, bnitish. In fact, the

country has not the highest opinion of the discretion of

the officer in charge of that department. His course at

New Orleans and his "banditti" proclamation were

enough to convince any one that he would not be a wise

or prudent person for any delicate mission. This does not

establish a rule, however, but is simply an exception.

And at a lime like the present, when so many civil

officials are proving untrue and untrustworthy, it will

hardly do for us to say of the whole body of army officers,

stand oflF, for we are holier than thou.

But this is all preliminary to the real questions, and

they are, first, how can we decrease government expenses

and, second, how can we arrange it so that politics will

have no influence in appointing officials. The care of the

Indians is a far more expensive business now than it was be-

fore the war, and the whole system has become offensively

corrupt. Our people are weighed down and oppressed by

the excessivfjtaxation and heartily ashamed of the roguery

being exposed. Here is a place for a partial relief. It

if, of all othcrp, the most eensible way of reaching econ-

omy and honesty of administration. This multiplying

of Bureaus has been one prominent cause for increased

expenses. We want the Government simplified in every

way it can be. But in this case there is a still greater

recommendation for the step, and that is that politics

will have nothing to do with the disbursing of the moneyor the appointing of the agents. An officer can be

detailed for that duty because he is fitted for it, not

because he has votes at his command. We think there

is, therefore, in the proposed transfer, promise of a purer

administration of this service than we have bad, and

also of a considerable decrease of onr burdensome

taxation.

MERCASTILE FAILURES.

The cause of failures in commercial enterprises can

in all cases be traced either to the fault of the individual

or to the financial system of the country in which they

occur. A man who disregards every teaching of expe.

rience and sails his craft with only the prudence andappliances needed in fair weather is sure to come to

grief. Nor can he charge his disaster upon any cause

other than his own heedlessness. But it calls for merethan ordinary sagacity to have been able to foresee and to

prepare for such a prolonged stagnation in all industrial

enterprises as that which our country is now passing

through. This paralysis is the result of no ordinary

cause, but may be traced back to our false financial sys-

tem. The panic we could, under ordinary circumstances,

have soon recovered from. But in this case there wasno true basis to build upon, no startiag point; and hence

we have drifted and are still drifting, with a result which

is marked by the many wrecks left along the shore.

Messrs. Dun, Barlow & Co. give us this week their

usual quarterly statement, which illustrates how these

present surroundings are affecting individuals.

According to the last annual returns, the total numberof persons engaged in industrial enterprises, as reported

by this firm, was 080,072. We have here, therefore, a

little more than four-tenths of one per cent.who have failed

during the first three months of 1876, against about twoand one-half tenths per cent, during the same three

months of 1875. The total liabilities also show a corre-

sponding increase, so that the average liabilities to each

individual are a little over 123,000 this year, and a little

less than that amount last year. We have a more com-

plete comparison in the following statement of returns

for each quarter of 1875 :

It will be noticed that, during the six months ending

(the number for the last quarter of 1875 being 2,405,

and for the first quarter of 1876 being 2,806), while the-

gross liabilities for the same period were $134,000,000.

This is a surprising result, the full force of which may be

better seen with the help of the annual figures for a

> Six monthe, from October 1, 18TS. to Harch ^1, 1873.

We .are sorry net to be able to give, in the above, some

of the cities, other than New York, separately; but, as

Messrs. Dun, Barlow & Co., with this year, have begun

again to return several of the larger cities by themselves,

we shall hereafter be able to make a more useful com.

parison. It appears from the foregoing that, during the

last six months, the total failures are in excess of any

previous tweli>e months in our record, except the years

1857, 1S61 and 1875.

Such a record as this challenges the attention of our

law makers. Of course, to some extent, failures must

always occur, for many men will ever be reckless. But,

clearly, the facts here presented prove that our monetary

system is all wrong. A large class will, of course, tell us

to repeal the resumption act, and that will right it.

They have studied the disease and its progress to no

purpose who fancy relief is to come by a little more

indulgence. We would say, first of all, stop corruption;

next, decrease immediately and materially all govern-

ment expenses, by every conceivable economy; and,

finally, with largely reduced taxation made possible

through these savings, let us bring ourselves up to

specie payments with all the speed the circumstances

will permit. A revival of enterprise while hampered

with our present uncertainties seems out of the question.

THE POSITION OP THE WHEAT AND CORN MARKETS.

A critical period has been reached in the principal

grain markets of the world, and the contingencies or

circumstances which may affect the future of prices, are

scrutinized with more than the usual anxiety and interest.

The influences which now and for some time past have

been at work, are of the most contradictory nature; and,

yielding in turn to each other, have produced frequent

and apparently causeless fluctuations. Speculation has

become exceedingly precarious, making the position of

commission houses and dealers quite unsatisfactory.

Wheat, very naturally, is the chief object of interest,

as it is indeed the centre of speculative action. Its

future, however, is a problem by no means admitting of

an easy solution. Stocks now are much in excess of the

corresponding date last year, but they were compara-

tively small at the principal European markets last

April. In the United States, alone, were any consider-

able supplies then available. Still, stocks now are, in

the aggregate, considerably in excess of any recent year,

at this stage of the season ; and, besides the great quantity

5n store—the burdensome accumulations at New Yorkand Liverpool—the condition of much of it is such as to

expose it to serious damage from the warm weather

•which is rapidly approaching. Prices are not high, but

•they are higher than last April, when stocks were much.smaller, and when the condition of the wheat in store

was more satisfactory to holders.

With regard to the present Boason for spring sowingand the early development of the plant, the surroundings

have been unfavorable. The whole of the West of

Europe was visited by storms and floods of ex-

traordinary severity. Farm work was rendered im-

posisible at a time when it sJiould have been prose-

cuted with the utmost activity. The Northwestern

section of the United States—where our groat

crops of spring wheat are grown—has also suffered

much from bad weather. The temperature has been

low, and as late aa the 4th inst. a severe snow storm

prevailed over a large portion of it. Winter wheat in

many parts of the United States has suffered from ex-

posure to severe cold, being uncovered by snow the

most of the winter; but for some days past the weather

has been good, and it is suflioiently early for all the

injury done during the fortnight following the 2l8t of

March to be fully recovered.

We have already noted the fact that prices are nowliigher than last April, but it is also true that they are

much below the average of the past five years. Theprice of English wheat at Mark Lane at a recent date

was 43s. per quarter, while the average for five years

was 51s. It is possible, however, that the present rela-

tively low price may be caused, to some extent, by tbo

comparatively poor condition of the samples offering.

The large stocks in the English markets are deprived of

a portion of their significance by the fact that at a late

date the quantity at sea for British ports was only about

two-thirds as large as last year. With reference more

directly to American wheat, it is asserted, with manycircumstances in corroboration, that the inferior quali-

ties are pretty well closed out, and that present stocks

are made up largely of prime qualities and regular

grades. This, with cheap money, is encouraging to

holders.

Much depends, however, upon the weather in the

West of Eurape, and in the Northwestern section of the

United States, during the next two or three weeks. Arepetition, even in a modified degree, of what was ex-

perienced in March, could hardly fail to impair seriously

the prospects for the next crop, and stimulate the re-

newal of active speculation, while good weather will no

doubt so far improve crop prospects as to make very

difficult the support of prices for some time following

the general resumption of inland navigation. Tiie situ-

ation must, therefore, be regarded as surrounded with

many uncertainties, which time alone can remove. It

may be added, as supplementary to the above, that warrumors from Europe have latterly exerted some influence

upon prices.

Indian corn has been growing in speculative interest.

The recent advance which has taken place in parcels

immediately available arose from a temporary scarcity,

and did not give much strength to the market for

futures. The stocks are small in Great Britain, and

the orders for shipments, though moderate in extent,

are of that steady character which is the best

assurance that prices will be supported. It is to

be noted, that while the stock in this market and

the visible supply at the principal points of accumulation

are much smaller than last April, prices are at the same

time much lower. This discrepancy is caused by the

general impression that the quantity remaining in the

hands of farmers is greatly in excess of last year, which,

when brought out, will over-burden the market; and

the disastrous decline which took place last June has

not been forgotten. It is also believed that much of

the present crop will come forward ia such poor coa

361 TOR OHUONICLR April 15, 1876.

dttion that forced sales will be necessary, with the usual

effect upon prices. But, on the other hand, it must be

borne in mind that farmers have now, in the high prices

of swine, an inducement to use corn largely for feeding

purposes, by which that not in shipping condition maybe wholly absorbed. The renewal of the export of

highwines will also cause some increase in the c«nsump-

tioa of corn for distilling. Nor can the present price of

corn be called high ; and yet it is the result of two tem-

porary influences—an unusual scarcity and extremely

low ocean freights. Within a short time the advance

has been, for leading qualities, about ten cents a bushel;

and it is reasonable to conclude that, with fuller supplies

and the higher ocean freights which may be expected at

BO distant day, this advance may be lost. Still, there is

danger that the market may be over-sold, and specula-

tive operations for a decline exposed to the dangers of a

"corner." Nothing can be said, as yet, of crop pros-

pects, except that some injury has been done in the

extreme South by frost, but not to an extent giving it

any commercial importance.

ALEXANDER T. STEWART.

In the death of Mr. Stewart, our city has lost a mer-

chant of pre-eminent sagacity and enterprise and

unimpeaehable integrity, whose career is one of the most

remarkable that is recorded in the history of trade. His

undertakings have been so numerous and extensive, and

are even now bo unfinished, that some years must elapse

before his life can be effectively written, and then only

in the light of results. The lines of demarkation which

bounded the various grades of business with which he

had relations, and which until his time bad been faith-

fully respected, were as nothing to him. lie combined

the pursuits of manufacturing, importing, wholesaling,

retailing and " custom work" in one grand system,

remorselessly attacking and overthrowing old business

ideas and practices. It remains to be seen whether he

effected a reform, or whether, at his death, his enter-

prises shall be found impracticable in other hands, and

his grand combinations shall fall in pieces.

In some important respects, Mr. Stewart was a worthy|

example for others possessed of large fortunes. He was

classically educated, and always maintained his early love

for literature and the arts, being happy in the possession

of a fine library, and one of the most extensive and

valuable galleries of paintings to be found in the whole

world. His great wealth became in this direction a

positive good. Mr. Stewart was not one of those menwho wholly forget the . maxim that " wealth has its

duties as well as its rights."

It is much to be regretted, however, that he did not

retire from active business ten years ago, and that the

accession of General Grant to the Presidency in 1869

did not find him in position to accept the office of the

Treasury, which was then tendered him. It would havegiven him a wider fame, with opportunities for

using his talents in a new field where he could

have rendered services to his country, of whichit has stood in the greatest need. His thorough knowl-edge of affairs, his capacity as an organizer, and his

invincible integrity would have prevented much that has

occurred to humiliate and iinpovcish the Americanpeople. The mistake which he made, in ceutinuing in

the active participation in the details of business lo the

elose of life, should not be lost upon his contemporaries.

An especial need of our country at this time is a class

of retired business men, upoc whose time and expe-

rience the whole community may rely in guiding public

affairs.

Mr. Stewart desired to be of service to his fellow-

creatures, and contributed liberally to public and private

charities. But his two conspicuous efforts in that direc-

tion, it is feared, are not likely to be attended with a

degree of success commensurate with their cost, because

they partake too much in their nature of his own exact

and somewhat arbitrary character. We refer to his hotel

for women on F'ourth avenue, and his Garden City on

Long Island. " You may lead a horse to water, but you

cannot make him drink." These enterprises may be of

the very best sort, to afford relief to the classes they

were designed to aid-, and yet, such is the perversity of

human n.iture, may repel instead of attract them. Wetrust tl'is may not prove to be the case, for, if it sliould,

these monuments to his liberality will disappear.

RAILROAD EARNINGS IN MARCH AND FROM JANUARY 1 TO

APRIL 1.

The growing sentiment in favor of more light on the subject

of current railroad earnings, together with the fact that the

receipts of the past three months compare favorably with the

same period of last year, have operated to induce more companieB^

than usual to furnish reports of their earnings. There has seldom

or never been a time when our list embraced a larger number of

companies than at present; and still a majority of those whose

stocks are most prominent at the Board are not yet included.

There are several points to he kept in mind in considering the

current reports of earnings. In the first place, the latest returns

are all of r/ross earnings, and the net receipts of the respective

roads can only bo estimated by assuming a certain percentage of

operating expenses, and calculating the balance as net profits.

In assuming a percentage of operating expenses for the current

year, it would seem to be on the safe side to take the percentage

as shown in the last annual report of each company, as the cost of

materia), wages, (Sic, is, if anything, lower than at any previous

time. A number of companies have wisely furnished a statement '

of their operating expenses and not earnings up to the first of

March, and those will be found in a table below. A second

point of importance is the circumstance that all the current

reports of earnings are compared with the "same time last year,"

and are'deemed favorable or otherwise, as the comparison shows

an increase or decrease. This practice, though the best that can

be adopted, is evidently liable at times to represent the earnings

of any given road quite unfairly, as the increase or decrease mayoccur from an exceptionally good or bad month last year, and

not from an improvement or deficiency in the present. Thus,

in the month just parsed, we find that at least two ol the leading

roads—the Michigan Central and the Ohio & Mississippi—madethe largest earnings in March, 1875, of any month in the first

half of that year, and their comparison for March, 1876, appears,

therefore, in a less advantageous light than it otherwise would.

In the case of the last-named road there was also a payment from

the Government of some §28,000 in March, 1875, which made the

earnings appear large. Pursuing the same inquiry as to other

companies in the same or different months, we should find results

of a similar character on one tide or the other. These excep-

tional influences governing the traffic of a single month, however,

are to a great extent leveled down in the comparison from Janu-

ary 1 to latest dates.

The mileage of road operated is frequently made more of than

is really woith while, from a financial point of view; although it

is undoubtedly a matter of interest to those who have to do with

the practical operation of railroads. The earnings on new and

old lines of the same road are often so widely different hs to make

II comparison of mileage this year with last, rather misleading

than otherwise to the average reader. Nearly all the roads

in our list arc working the same mileage as last year. TheAtchison Topeka & Santa Fe has increased 202 miles, Cairo & St.

Louis 80 miles. Chic. Bur. & Quincy 33 miles; the Ohio & Missis-

sippi took possession of its Springfield line in March, 1875, and

therefore worked the same number of miles this year as last. It

seems to be necessary to refer to these changes in mileage, as a

statement recently published gave the mileage of the Ohio & Miss,

as 222 miles more this year than last, and the mileage of Kansas

Pacific as 88 miles more, and Central Pacific 103 miles more than

April 15, 1876.] THE CHRONi ?JL 3B5

they should be. But tho key to the financial situation of a rail-

road is not in the amount of grota or net earnings per milo, but

In the actual excess of net earnings per month above the interest

charges, rentals, &c.

As to present and prospective earnings, we should classify tho

roads named below into four principal groups. 1. The Central

Pacific and ITnion Pacific on tho main lino to the Pacific. 2. Thegranger roads—chiefly the Chicago & Northwest and Chicago Mil.

& St. Paul. 8. Tho other western and southwestern roads.

4. The ro.ids forming piirts of trunk lines from the Atlantic Coastwestward.

Tho earnings of the Pacific roads are well maintained, butthey would do a good business if only up to that of last year.

The Union Pacific reports for the first three weeks in March unincrease of $:J0,000 over the same weeks in 1875. The "granger"roads expect to be benefitted materially by tho advance in rates

which took place on their lines in Wisconsin, early in tho present

month. The gain from this advance is variously estimated, andmay perhaps be placed at an average of 13 to lo per cent on local

business within that State, a good part of whicli ought to be not

profit. Tho third class named above embraces all the otherroads except those mentioned just below, and their businewsdepends mainly on the prosjierity of the country and the main-tenance of fair rates among competing roads. In the fourthclass only three roads can properly bo placed—these are thoMichigan Central, Canada Southern and Ohio & Mississippi.

Their earnings depend largely upon the maintenance of rates

among the rival trqnk lines, and so far this year they have beenfavored by harmony. The opening rates on Lake freights arevery low, being 4i cents per bushel on wheat from Chicago to

Baffalo, and eastward bound freights have just been reduced asfollowj, on the " pool" railroad lines from Chicago, viz: liateson grain to New York to 35 cents, on flour to 70 cents perbarrel, and on fourth class freight to 40 cents—a reduction of 5cents per cwt. The rates to other Eastern points are correspond-ingly reduced. But it is to be remarked that this class of busi-ness is one that the railroads do not look to for profit in summerThe Baltimore & Ohio does not publish its earning.^ regularly, buta statement is made that in February there was an increase of$228,871 over the same month of 1875.

The Houston & Texas Central shows the following, for sixmonths ending February: Oross earnings 1874-75, $1,047,008;1875-70, $3,080,080; erpenses, $941,003, against $971,133; netearnings, |708,003. against $1,108,833 in 1875-70.

Railrond Tax Snits in Hi».soarI.—In the tax eases of theseveral railroads which resiated taxation in 1873 under theTa'iuations of the State Board of Equaiization, Judge Dillon of the

U. S. Circuit Court has decided in favor of the companies. Heholds that the Board of Equalization was not authorized to act

as a Board of Assessors and increase the valuation of railroad

properly, but that the railroads are liable to taxation on thecounty valuation, and orders the taxes on that basis to be paidwith ten per cent, interest on what haS not been paid. Most of

the compaiiies have already paid 03 per cent., and the amountdue from them is not very large.

London, Saturday, April 1. 187G.

There has been a slightly increased demand for money this

week, In connection with the settlement in the Stock Exchange.

but the actual commercial inquiry has been upon a restricted

scale. The supply seeking employment has been moderate, and,

in the open market, the rates of discount have had a drooping

tendency. The impression is very general that even the present

very moderate charges for accommodation cannot be maintained,

as neither commercial nor financial enterprise is calculated to

absorb our supplies of unemployed money. There is just nowscarcely any demand for gold for export. On the contrary, during

the last few days, the accumulation at the Bank has been

considerable, and there appear to be indications that the supply

held will be further augmented. The number of commercial

bills In circulation is very moderate, and as trade remains

eitremely quiet, there is no prospect of any increase. The spring

trade is remarkably inactive. The heavy losses which the public

have sustained, are producing great, if not increasing, economies.

and it will, no doubt, be long before the position of affairs has

been completely rectified. A few failures continue to take place,

but there appear to be no serious apprehensions, while there ij

reason to believe that the more judicious system of trading will

eventually establish our commerce upon a sound basis. Thequotations for money are now as follows :

The demand for gold for e-^part has been upon a very moderate

scale, and a moderate supply has recently been sent into the

Bank. The silver market is decidedly firmer, and the price of fine

bars is now u3id. to 53Jd. per ounce. The steamer for the Eas

took out this week £U2,000. The prices of bullion are as fol-

lows :

The supply of bullion held by the Bank of France nowamounts to as much as £75,435,000.

Another fortnightly account in shares and fortign stocks has

been completed this week, but only one failure has been made

public. The fluctuations in foreign stocks had been severe, but

the weaker operators had been weeded out during the previous

account, and the difficulties which had then arisen had produced

much caution. In foreign stocks the public are operating to a

very limited extent. They are certainly not buyers, and hence,

with Ihe large suiiplies ot stock in existence, the market is very

sensitive to speculative influences. The delay in the publicatiou

of Mr. Cave's report regarding Egyptian finance, has produced a

certain amount of distrust in Egyptian securities, and the resul*

has been that f peculators have forced down their value to a

considerable extent. The Chancellor of the Exchequer assured

the country that, with judicious management, there is much hope

for Egypt, but the refusal to publish the report, and allow

bondholders to judge for Ihemselves, naturally had an adverse

tflect, and enabled speculators for the fall to take advantage of

the distrust which prevails. The fall in foreign stocks extended

10 Kussian, Brazilian, Argentine, Chilian, Uruguay, Entre Rios

and Santa Fe ; but French and Italian government bonds

have been steady, and the value of United States descriptions has

had an upward tendency. American railroad first mortgage

bonds have slightly improved in value ; but in other respects the

stock markets have beea quiet and dull in tone.

Since writing the above I have learned that the Chancellor of

the Exchequer made the announcement at the close of yesterday's

Bitting in Parliament that the Khedive of Egypt had consented

to the publication of Mr. Cave's report upon Egyptian Finance.

The report was, therefore, laid upon the table of the House, and

will be printed forthwith.

The closing prices of consols and the principal American securi^

ties at to-day's market, compared with those of last week, are

subjoined :

Tbe public sales of colonial wool were commenced on Tuegdaylast. The arrivals amount to 331,171 bales, compriaisff 33,155

bales from Sj'dney ; ll.'5,153 Port Phillip ; 51,901 Adelaide ; 1,585

Swan River ; 304 Van Diemen's Land ; 13,330 New Zealand ; and

17,003 bales from the Cape of Good Hope. There has been a large

attendance, both of home and foreign buyers. The biddings havebeen spirited, and prices show no material change from those

current in February.

There has been" no important movement in the wheat trade

during the past week. A firm tone, however, has continued to

prevail, and higher prices have been demanded. Millers, how-ever, have been buying with caution, and no general improve-

ment has taken place. The ample stocks of foreign wheat here,

the large visible eupply in the United States, and the prospect of

an early reopening of the navigation of ice-bound ports and canals,

naturally induce millers to buy largely from hand-to-mouth.

The weather has lately been more favorable tor spring sowing,

which is decidedly backward.

The return for the week ending March 25 shows that in the

150 principal markets of England and Wales the deliveries of

English wheat were only 41 ,445 quarters, against 57,479 quarters

last year. In the whole Kingdom it is estimated that they were165,780 quarters, against 329,200 quarters in 1375. e harvest,

the sales in the 150 principal markets have amounted to 1,5G9,019

quarters, against 1,815,544 quarters, while in the whole Kingdomit Is computed that they have been 5,476,100 quarter.^, against

7,263,200 quarters in 1874-5. The following quantities of wheatand flour have been placed upon the British markets since the

commencement of last September

the markets of London and Continental cities, have been the prin-cipal features worthy of mention. A statement of bu.sinessfailures for the first quarter of 187G, just issued by the Mercan-tile Agency of Dun, IJarlow & Co., shows that the number andamount was considerably larger than in the corresponding quarterof 1875, but a little below the quarter immediately preceding,which embraced the last three months of 1875. It is hoped fromthis that the tendency is toward a gradual improvement, and thatthe maximum of failures was reached in the last part oflast year.

The Silver bill, which has passed both houses of Congress, re-

ceived the President's signature, and becomes a law, is as follows :

Be II tn(ictfil, <{;. That there be and hereby is appropriated out of anymoney in the Treasury, not otherwi.-je appropriated, the sum of SHi'.OJO. t.i

United States notes, and the further sum of $i8,no to provide for ensravin;;and priutlnf; National bank notes, to be disbursed under the Secretary of theTreasury.Section 2. That the Secretary of tlie Treasury is hereby directed to issue

silver coins of the United Sta es of the deiiomination of In, 8 i, 85 and 5!) centsof standard value, in redenipUou of an equal amount of fractional currency,whether the same be now in the Treasury awaitin" redemption or wherever it

may be presented for redemption; and the b'eci'otary of the Treasury mav,noder regalations of the Treasury Department,

in consequence of the decline in stocks and the unfavorable toneof foreign advices, but rates have not actually changed much,and the quotations for call loans are SRo per cent., and primecommercial paper 5(20 per cent.

The Bank of England report on Thursday showed a decreasein bullion of £4,500, and tho discount rate remained unchangedat 3 per cent. The Bank of Prance gained 2,5S3,000 francs inspecie.

The last statement of the New York City Clearing Housebanks, Lssued April 8, showed a decrease of .$2,90IJ,4J0 in theexcess above their 35 per cent, lejral reserve, the whole of suchexcess being $7 038,875, against §0,909,335 the previous week.The following table shows the changes from the previous

"

By report of the Manager of the Boston Clearing House, it ap-pears that the exchanges for the past year have been $3,447,279.-420. The balances for the same time have been $335,300,055.The average monthly exchanges have been $304,100,019. Theaverage monthly balances have been $27,100,838. The aggregatecapital of the associated banks in that city is §51,350,000.As the Fourth of July falls on Tuesday, the Stock Exchange

has resolved that when the Board adjourns on Saturday, July 1,it will hold no Bession until the following Wednesday, July 5.

Vnltea Slates Bonds. — In government bonds the weekshows a very moderate business, but with prices fairly main-tained. The apprehension of trouble in the London and Uernianmarkets, together with the fact that Good Friday is a blankday hero, and both Friday and Easter Monday in London, havebeen among the principal reasons for a slow business just at thepresent time. If the experience of previous years furnishes aprecedent that may be taken as a guide at all, we may look formore activity in all classes of stocks and bands after Easter.

Closing prices of securities in London have been as follows:

State and Railroad Bonds.—There has been very little

doing in State bonds. The last pales of Tennessees at the Boardwere $35,000 old bonds at 43, and $5,001J new series at 41,showing prices about the same as those of last week. Tho trus-

tees of the Cincinnati Southern Railway have awarded $3,000,000of the City per cent. 30 year gold bonds to a banking firm thereat 100.13 and accrijod interest.

Railroad bonds, on a slow business, have shown a tendencytoward lower prices, in sympathy with stocks. It is observedthat the speculative business in bonds, which is often largo andmarked by the sales of round lots of §10,000 and upwards at theBoard, has recently been quite limited. It is still difficult to find

really first-class 7 per cent, bonds below pur, and where priceshave yielded at all it is generally on the less substantial securities,

which hold a position among bonds analagous to the " fancies"on tho speculative list of stocks.

Railroad and miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market,after considerable irregularity and a geui^ral declining tendencyduring the previous days, showed a decided weakness on Thurs-day, %Tith a fall in prices to the lowest point yet reached in thepresent movement. In connection with the bear influence

exerted in the market, the reports of a disagreement at themeeting of railroad managers in Chicago, had much to do withthe weakness in Lake Shore and Michigan Central, which wereespecially conspicuous.As to the facts of the railroad negotiations at Cliicago over

freight and pa.ssenger rates, it is known that a moderate reduc-tion on grain and flour was made a few days ago, as usual aboutthe time Lake navigation opens, but no break has yet taken place

between the managers of the " pool " lines, although the tele-

grams indicate that Mr. Joy of the Michigan Central is dissatis-

fied. Apainst the Western Union Telegraph were urged therecent reduction of the A. & P. Hue on night messages, and the

temporary injunction again.st the company's use of the duplexand quadruplcx system until the right to it is settled. Pacific

Mail declines in the absence of any hopelul development respect-

ing the company's affairs, though there are undoubtedly many

3'/0 JFHE CHRONICLE ^ [April 15, 1876. ^l

who suspsct that the stock will presently be picked up bj someatrong party—possibly "the leading: operator"—and bulledagain. The report of the Dundee committee on Erie affairs hasbeen made in England, and they favor the funding of couponsand a foreclosure on the Watkin plan. The stock sold downhere to 16^.

Aside from the market influences, and the continued depressionin mercantile business, including the coal trade and mining,there seems to bf- nothing to cause a large decline in values.Kailroad earnings, as fully reported on another page, are, uponthe whole, quite satisfactory; the express companies claim alarger business than usual; while telegraphing is not likely todecline, nor the receipts of Western Union to be largely dimin-ished.

Tlie granger stocks are also expected to reap the benefit of thehigher rates in Wisconsin, ivhich went into effect about the first

of this month. The market, at present prices, offers inducementsfor clique purchases to start an upward movement, though noevidences of such a purpose have yet come to our notice.

STATE, CITY AND CORPORATION FINANCES.

The " iDvestors' Supplement" )a published on the last Saturday

of ekch month, and furnished to all regular subHcribers of the

CffRONiCLB. No single copies of the Supplement are sold at the

office, as only a sufficient number is printed to supply regular

snbacribers.

ANNUAI. REPORTS.~"~

Atlantic & Great Western.

(Beport from Dee. 10, 1874, to Dec. 31, 1875.)

The report of tlie Receiver, Mr. J. H. Devereui, la an elaboratedocument giving the operations from 10th December, 1874, to

3l8t December, 1875, from which we obtain the following:la brieflj commenting upon the financial results of this period,

it is remarked that the low rates on freight, and the miners'strike in the Mahoning Valley, were causes for small receipts.

Prom December 10, 1874, to June 3«, 1875, the Cleveland &Mahoning Valley road showed an actual loss in operation of

$12,807 38. But, the miners resuming work during the latter

part of June, the result of the following month (July) upon theMahoning Division was a surplus earning over and above all

expenses and rental, of |43,878 92.

During 1874 the rate upon local freight traffic was 1.636 centsper ton per mile, and upon through Ireight but .837 cents perton per mile. And yet. mainly from the efFects of a disastroustrunk line rivalry, the rate for 1875 upon through freight is seento be .694 cents per ton per mile, and the average rate of all freighthas fallen to 1'015 cents per ton per mile.

If but the exceedingly low freight rates of 1874 had prevailed,the net earnings would have been increased by $615,132 39.

It would seem fair, therefore, to regard the net revenue of theyear's operations as exceptional, whilst in the thorough and faith-

lol maintenance of the road, its equipment and appurtenancee,jiidicious care has been given, and no needed expenditure hasbeen withheld.The largest portion of the equipment used on the lines is under

lease, paying a rental equivalent to 15 per cent of the value ofsuch cars and locomotive engines at their cost of some years ajro,(much higher than the current value of to-day), and with suchequipment maintained to standard at the expense of the lessee.

fiuron, was appointed receiver of the Chicago and Lake HuronRaiiroad by the United States Circuit Cnurt at Datroit, April 3,

Erie Railway.—A Press despatch from London, April 13. ha.i

"the following: "Messrs. Fleming and Miller, the members of

the Dundee Committee, who were sent to the United States to

Investigate the Erie Railway, have submitted their report. TheyBay the essential conditions of a successful reorganization are,

first, effective control of the management of the road by the real

owners—the bondholders; second, the restoratioa of the equili-

brium between the compulsory interest charge on the mortgage4ebt and the minimum net earnings; third, a provision for" narrow gauging" the line. Tne net floating debt is |2,903,000.

If a Bart of the net revenue for a sufficient period c«uld beapplied to paying off the floating debt and " narrow gauging"*he line, there could, with capable management, be no question

as to the capability of the property to earn interest on all

its mortgage debt, without the necessity for foreclosure andassessment on the shares. With certain not very importantmodifications, Messrs. Fleming and Miller see no reason lo doubtthat the committee's scheme of reorganizition by foreclosure maybe successfully carried out, and result in placing the road in athoroughly sound financial position. The scheme referred to is

that published heretofore by the committee, of which Sir EdwardWatkin was chairman, and Messrs. Fleming and Miller recom-mend its re-i(sue, with modifications, and urge all interested to

give it support. ' We must content ourselves,' they say, witheuggesting that the committee proceed with vigor in the direction

of foreclosure, at the same time inviting the stockholders to

signify their willingness to vest their shares in trustees, as abovementioned. Whenever enough ol them have done so, it will LeTight for us to consult our constituents as to the choice of plan,'

The line is beingpushed forward, and is now within 43 miles of the city of SanAntonio. The earnings since the close of the fiscal year havebeen as follows: November, net, about $45,000 ; December, net,

«bout $38,000; January, two weeks, $23,000—this latter beingupon 168 miles, as against 158 last year. The land grant to thisToad amounts to 1,300,000 acres or upwards, not reckoning town«ites aiid stations.

Indianapolis Bloomlngton & Western.—Receiver Wrighthas made a report for the three months ending March 1. In that

time improvements were made at a cost of $37,01*8 03. Mr Wrightsays :

" We have had scarcely one week of steady cold weather

and frozen ground, so open and mild has been the season. It is

believed that not one-fifth of the crops of the last season have yet

been moved. Notwithstanding this, the inci"ease of earninf^ for

the three months over the corresponding period of 1875 was$83,730 73. Hiid the weather been cold and the country roads

S'->lid, the increase would undoubtedly have been more than double

this. The amount disbursed on back pay-rolls, up to the first of

March, was $24,319 60. Since that time the weather has been so

unf«vorable for business that the receiver has not been able to

continue the payment of a monthly dividend as was expected.

The entire issue of receiver's certificates thus far is $203,200.

The total amoun; maturing since their Issue, $77,400 38, werepromptly met as they fell due. The remainder ot the issue will

mature through this year and until March, 1877.

Mobile & Ohio.—In the United StatesCircuit Court, at Mobile,

Ala., April 8th, Judge Woods denied the application to removethe present trustees and receivers, holding that the applicant,

Morris Ketchum, is not now, as he claimed to be, a trustee underthe mortgage, but that his removal from the trusteeship in 1803

was valid. On April 10th, however. Judge Woods granted anorder for the renewal of the motion,

Oregon & California.—Notice is given that the FrankfortCommittee, for the Protection of the Bondholders, have declared adividend of 1.45 per cent., or £i 18s. per $1,000, on account of the

Rockford Rock Island & St. Louis.—The roai was sold in

August last and purchased bj Herman Osterberg, for $1,320,000,

in behalf of the German bondholders. There was a balance dueon the payment of the purchase money of $223,347 48, and Mr.Osterberg has just paid into the hands of the master thatamount due, which virtually closes this litigation.

Southern PacIBCj Cal.—Work on the Southern Pacific Rail-

road continues to be pushed with an undiminished force. Theunusual and long continued rains rendered progress difficult,

except in the tunnels, nine of which are now complete, and workin all the others is going on well. The long tunnel, under theSan Fernando mountain, is finished for 4 408 feet, leaving 3,543feet to be taken out. At the rate of 24 feet per day (being 4 f«et

on each of the 6 faces), it will require until about the first ofJuly to complete the work. This being the measure of progress

on the line ijetween San Francisco and Los Angeles, communica-tion by rail between the two cities may reasonably.be expectedin July next. On the line from and south of Los Angeles, to thecrossing of the Colorado river at Fort Yuma, the grade is completefor 150 miles ; the track is laid 134 miles, and is in regular opera-

tion to " Seven Palms," where a daily lour-horse etaee connectsto Prescott, Tucso::, and all points in Arizona.

Toledo Wabash & Western.-An informal meeting of stock-holders was held this week in the office of Mr. O. D. Ashlej,Chairman of the Protective Committee. The object was to secure,if possible, a full representation of the stockholders at the meet-ing to be lield in Toledo next month. Mr. Ashley said that therewere 140,000 shares of stock, on which nothing had been paid;there were 60,000 in the hands of brokers and bankers, held for

other parties; and he urged the propriety of having thtse sharestransferred to the names of the owners, and that payment bemade upon them. It was necessary that measures should betaken to protect their interests, and this could not ba done with-

out pecuniary means. The following resolution was adopted:

Resolved. That a committee of ten stockholders be appointed by the Chair-man to confer and adviee with the Protective Committee, and take such step*as may neem to them advUable to insure a full repre8cn-.ation ot (he atocfc atthe special meeiini; caiied at Toledo on the :il8t May, and assist the Protec-tive Committee in meauurea deaigued to save the gtockholdera from thethreatened extinction.

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.Bridat NionT. April 14, 1870.

Today, being Gnod Friday, business is almost wholly bus-

pendod. Tlie weallier lias become more spring like during tUo

(laet weelt, au<i tbia has given some impulae to trade, but com-

plaints of dulness continue to be heard on every side. Not only

is business limited in volume, but results are unsatisfactory;

profits fre very small, and collections diilleult. Congress has

passed a bill designed to substitute silver for fractional cur-

rency; and the tariff bill, somewhat modified, and with the

provisions for an import duty on tea and coffee striclsen out, has

l)i>en ordered reported to the House of Representatives by the

Committee of Ways and iMeans. These measures, especially the

tariff, may have some inftuence upon business, and yet probably

very little for the reason that there is no expectation that the

tariff will ever become a law.

Provisions have been almost uniformly declining during the

past week. Mess pork has receded to $33 75(ffif33 85, and there

have been free sales of Western prime uiess at $31 37A@J31 50.

On Wednesday, there were large speculative purchases of mess

on Western account for August delivery at $33, but the closing

bids of yesterday were !|32'30 for April, $33 45 for May, $23 05

for June, ?33 5.1 for July, and $33 90 for August. But the most

importaut fact has been the rapid decline in lard, for both spot

and future, the closing prices for prime Western steam being

$13 75((ii$13 80 for spot and May, $13 90 for June, $14 05 for

.July, and $14 10 bid for August. Bucon is lower and unsettled,

and cut meats have declined i(i!)\c. per pound. Beef and beef

hams have been without esseutial change. Butter and cheese

have been dull and drooping, but are not essentially lower. Tal-

low baa been salable at 8|c. for prime. In stearine the principal

movement has been 2.50 tierces May at 14ic.

liio coffee has been only moderately active, and closes a Ittle

weak, though still quoted at 17}@l9c., gold, for fair to primei-argoes. The stock here is 133,00tf bags, and the visible supplylor the United States is 330,000 bags. Mild grades have been(lull, with stocks aggregating 37,443 bags and 187,009 mats, the

latter mostly Java. Rice has been selling fairly, and prices are

steady. Molasses has been in better request, tlie sales of theweek aggregating several thousand hhds., on the basis of 33cents for 50 test. Teas have been in mor^ active request, andprices are rather firmer. Foreign fruits are selling more freely,

wl'.h large transactions in raisins and prunes .at higher prices.

Sugars have been selling very fairly at full and improving figures,

but Btii] quoted at 7i@7Jc. for fair to prime refiuiug, and lOJc. for

standard crushed.nhds. Boxps. Bafts. Melado.

There are no particular changes to note in the ocean freight

market ; the business, in the aggregate, has been moderaie, stim-

ulated Ijy the present low rates; the individual demands for

room, however, continue small ; it is thought that the action of

several of the steamship companies, in withdrawing some of theregular steamers, will have a tendency toward higher rates. Lateengagements and charters include : Grain to Liverpool, by steam,

4d. per standard bushel ; provisions, 3.5((i30j. per ton ; cotton, Jd.;

oil cake, ISs. per ton;grain to Loudon, by steam, 01.; beef. 78.

do. same voyage, regular, 53. Od.; case oil to Vigo, 35c., gold ; do.

from Philadelphia to Genoa, at 4s. 9.1. for bbls. and 34c. for cases.

To-day, there were no changes; business was small, but late rates

•were retained. Grain to Liverpool, by steam, 41.; tallow, 22fl. 6d.

per ton;grain to London, by sail, Od.; refined petroleum to Cork

for orders, 43. 3J.; 3d off if direct port ; crude do. to Dunkirk,at 4s. IJd.

Naval stores have been generally quiet ; spirits turpentine hasgradually declined until 37c. was the closing price ; rosins,

howevtr, have remained steady ; common to good strained quotedat $1 8031 85. In petroleum little or nothing has been done,

and figures at the close were more noraiiial than real; crude, in

bulk, 8ic., and refined, in bbls., at 14io. logol copper closes

firmer at22ff<133c. cash for Lake, with previous sales of 250,000lbs at 22i<a2->lc.

The market for hides has been dull, and prices have shownweakness ; dry Buenos Ayres sold at 19e. cash, less 3 per cent.,

gold, and city slaughter ox at 8Jc. currency. Linseed oil hasbeen in fair demand and steady at .58c.@Si)c. Other oils havebeen quiet and unchanced. Codfish have ruled lower and moreactive at $1 for Grand Bank, $j 25 for new Georges, and .$4 50 for

old do. Clover seed has been dull at lCi^c.@lGlc. Whiskey hasbeen fluctuating, and closed at $1 12.

There has been a fair demand for Kentucky tobacco daring thepast week, and quotations are unchanged at 5@7ic. for lugs and8i@1.5c. for leaf ; the sales embraced 050 hhds , of which 500 werefor export and 150 were for consumption. Seed leaf has beenfairly active at former prices : the sales embraced ; Crop of 1S73,80 cases New England, at 40c., 54 cafes Ohio, at Sic. 86 casesPennsylvania, at IGc. ; crop of 1874, 100 cases New York, at 9ic ,

and 180 cases New England, on private terms ; crop of 1874 and1875, 43 cases Ohio, and crop of 1875, 280 cases Pennsylvania,both on private terms. Spanish tobacco baa remained steadywith a fair business ; the Bales were 700 bales Havana at 88c.@$1 15.

378 THE CHRONICLE [Ap il 15, 1876.

The market this week has been quiet for cotton on the spot,

and quotations have been reduced Jc. as compared with last

Friday, namely, l-16c. on Monday and l-16c. on Tuesday. Anadvance in exchange, and slightly easier ocean freights, have

enabled shippers to do a little business at this decline, but the

close yesterday was without demand, except from home spinners

who, in anticipation of a holiday, purchased rather more freely.

Today, being Good Friday, the Cotton Exchange is closed. For

future delivery prices show a decline of unusual severity. The

annoanceaient that the waters of the Mississippi had begun to

recede at Cairo, was regarded as putting an end to all dangers of

a disastrous flood, and there was a steady decline for the first

three days. On Wednesday some reaction at Liverpool was

reported, with an advance for " arrivals;" the Mississippi was

reported above the danger line between Vicksburg and Memphis;

gold was higher; and there was the natural demand to cover

contracts and secure the profits which the recent decline afforded

But yesterday there was again a decline of 3-16c. for the most

active months. Rumors of impending hostilities in Southeastern

Europe, and the confirmation which they were supposed to

receive from the depression in Egyptian and Turkish securities

at London, together with dull reports from Liverpool and Man-

chester, were the most conspicuous influences at work. Thelower prices stimulated the demand, and the close was steady at

the decline.

The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 120,600

bales, including free on board. For Immediate delivery the

total sales foot up this week 4,375 bales, Including 1,248 for ex-

I)ort, 2,963 for consumption, 164 for speculation, and ;in

transit. Of the above, 100 bales were to arrive. The following

Weather Reports by Tklhgraph.—There lias been a

decided fall in the Mississippi Kiver the past week, so that for

the present, at least, the anticipated damage from the overflow

has been averted. The weather has been quite dissimilar at

different points. In Texas, for instance, it has been too cold,

and in all the Gulf States it has been wet, while in Arkansas the

conditions have, as a general thing, been favorable. We sup-

pose, on the average, that farm work in the South is not as well

advanced as usual at this season, though in some States this is

not true. Still, a short period of warm, dry weather now would

make a great change.

Oalveston, Texas.—We have had rain on three days of the

week, and on one day an unusually severe storm of both rain ond

wind, the rainfall for the week aggregating two inches and three

linndredths. We are having too much rain, and it is too cold.

Planting is very backward. Average thermometer 68, highest

77 and lowest 56.

Indianola, Texas.—There has been rain on two days, the rain-

fall reaching fifty hundredths of an inch. Average thermometer'or the week 68, highest 80 and lowest 55. Planting is pro-

gressing slowly. The weather is so unfavorable that much seed

planted has failed to come up.

Vorsicana, Texas.—It rained hard three days of this week, the

rainfall reaching two and thirty hundredths inches. The ther-

mometer has averaged 03, ranging from 44 to 82. Planting is

hindered by the rain.

NeiB Orleans, Louisiana.—We have had three rainy days here

this week, the rainfall reaching seven inches and fifteen hun-dredths. The thermometer has averaged 70.

Shreveport, Louisiana.—In this vicinity high water and rains

are delaying farm work. The rainfall for the week is two inches

and sixty-eight hundredths. The average thermometer is 65, the

highest 82 and the lowest 51.

Vieksburg, Mississippi.—There have been five rainy days hereduring the week, the rainfall reaching four inches and five

hundredths. The thermometer has averaged 04, the extrejies

being 53 and 77. Plowing and planting are delayed by theincessant rains.

Columbus, Mississippi. — We have had warm, sultry, wetweather this week. Planting is much delayed by the recent

rains. Total raiafall this week two inches and sixty-two hun-dredths. A'-eraee thermometer 59, highest 69 and lowest 58.

The tributary rivers are lower.

BRE ADSTUFFS.Friday. P. M., April 14, 1876

The flour market, in some features, is the reverse of last week.

Then the low grades were dull and depressed and the mediumand better grades were in demand at full prices; while thU weekthe high grades have been neglected, the medium qualities de-

pressed, and the low grades have met with a very good demandaad been so scarce as to readily bring full prices. This is

especially true of common extras, in the range of $5 10@5 30.

Production of flour is quite moderate at points, and shippers are

often under the necessity of giving orders for Hour to be made,to secure lines suitable to their trade. Rye flour has been doing

rather better, and com meal is held for a material advance. Theclose yesterday was without new feature.

The wheat market has been variable from day to day, and yet

in the aggregate shows very little change for the week. Therehas, however, been more improvement in tone. The advance in

gold and exchange, and the decline in ocean freights to minimumrates, have caused some increase in the export demand, and a little

strengthening of prices of regular grades. But the most notable

occurrence has been the sale of choice white whe.at of the crop ol

1874 at H 00®$! 70, to a considerable extent. Yesterday themarket opened buoyant, on foreign advices of storms, and threat-ened hostilities on the Continent, but it was soon reported that

recent buyers for the Continent desired to resell their stock, andthe demand proved limited. Full prices were maintained, how-ever, and Wealern markets were higher, with very bad weatherreported.

Indian corn has continued to advance, but not go actively a*last week. Old Western baa been more freely oSerad from store,

and sold quite freely at 03J@70c., as in quality. Now Westemand Southern, mixed and yellow descriptions, have told in tli»

past two days at 71@74e. For future delivery there has been m.

hardening tendency, and 25,000 bushels new Western mixed solAfor all April at Cfli(a«7o.

liye has met with a mnch more active demand ; Western solSat 80@87c, in store ; and for arrival by canal, Canada at 02}c. inbond, and State at 07^0. The nature of the demand has not.

transpired. Harley has been fairly active at the late declinft

Canada peas are scarce and higher.

Oats have been in better demand, and in the course ot th»week prices have advanced about Ic. a bushel for all grades.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.Fbidat. p. M., April 14, 1876.

The past week has shown a slight Improvemeat in the package

trade, and the jobbing branches have been ratlier more active.

This is due to several causes. In the first place, the weather has

fceen more favorable for the distribution of spring goods, and in

ome sections of the country a fair consumptive demand has been

developed. Then, again, the condition of the roads in the West

has much improved, and orders for liberal amounts of merchandise

have been received from jobbers in that section, while the near-by

trade have also been freer buyers, and moderate sales have been

made to Southern jobbers. Retail buyers have been cautious in

their operations, taking smaller amounts than would probably

have been the case with a steadier market for leading domestic

productions. Au important circular has been issued by a number

of prominent commission houses, representing many of the

principal New England manufacturing corporations, in which

jobbers are politely requested to abandon the system of sending

out postal cards, etc., giving quotations for leading makes of

cotton poods, etc., at much less than their real market value—

a

system which has been fraught with mischief to the entire trade.

Very large quantities of foreign goods were pressed to sale

through the auction rooms, where they met with ready sale at

>ow prices. The death of Mr. A. T. Stewart created a profound

sensation in the trade, and on the day of his funeral business wassuspended during the obsequies.

Domestic Cotton Goods.—The export trade in cotton goods

presents a steady improvement, and 1,580 packages wereshipped in course of the week to different countries, Great

Britain taking 1,095 packages, British Honduras 244 pack-

ages, Brazil 135 packages, and various other markets the

lemainder. The home demand was sluggish apart from the mostpopular makes of four-yard brown slieetings and fine bleached

•birtinga, which were placed in considerable amounts by agests

»nd jobbers. Colored cottons moved slowly—especially cotton

-

»des, which were very dull—and Conestogo tickings wereubjscted to a reduction of about |c., aside from which quotations

were fairly maintained. Corset jeans were in steady demand,and there was rather more animation in quilts, piques, etc.

Soiled jacconets and glazed cambrics changed hands in moderatetots, and were steady in price. Grain bags, carpet warps andtwines were a trifle more active in jobbers' hands. Print cloths

were quiet, although some lots were bought by speculators at 31c.

easb and 3J, 60 days'—for standard 64s., at which prices themarket closed. The print market continued in an unsettled andunsatisfactory condition, and further standard makes wereleduced, viz. Merrimack D fancies to 6, Arnold's and Hartel's

fancies to 6J, and Mallory pinks, etc., to 6^. Jobbers continued to

•ffer job lots of fancy and shirting standard prints of certain

*tyles at 54@5i, and made very heavy sales at these figures.

Cotton dress goods were dull and weak, and ginghams werslightly dealt in.

DoMBSTic WoOLBN GOODS.—The package trade in men's wearwoolens has been very quiet, and some failures occurred amongdoth jobbers in this city and at Boston. The jobbing trade haskeen a little more active, but by no means up to expectations.

Cloths continued dull and doeskins were only taken in small

lots. Cassimeres, suitings and trouserings moved slowly fromIrst hands, and selections were mainly restricted to moder-ate parcels of the newest and most desirable styles. Worsted

coatings were quiet, and low grades showed symptoms of weak-

ness. Overcoatings were delivered in fair amounts in execution

of orders, but few new transactions occurred. Low grade Ken>

tucky jeans were in moderate request, but fine qualities ruled

quiet. Satinets were in limited demand, with most relative

activity in low grades for printing and fine mixtures. Flannels

were rather more active, but selections were confined to small

lots of white and scarlet all-wool makes and domets. Carpets

were distributed in considerable parcels by J9bbers at low prices.

Plain plaid and self colored fancy dress goods were in better de-

mand, and prices are firmly maintained. Worsted shawls moved

slowly, and there was some pressure on the part of agents to sell

at a concession from former holding rates.

Foreign Dry Good-S.—There was a sluggish movement in im-

ported goods from first hands, and values have barely i>een main-

tained, because importers are obliged to meet the low rates which

have been establislied in the auction rooms. The auction sales of

the week were large and important. Messrs. Richard, Iselin &

Co. sold through Field, Morris, Fenner & Co. a line of silks and

dress goods which amounted to $325,000, and a very large sale cf

the same class of fabrics was made for Messrs. A. Person, Harri-

man & Co. by Townsead, Montant & Co. Staple dress goods

realized fair auction prices, but silks—especially fancies—sold

very low. Housekeeping, shirting and dress linens were in steady

demand, and there was a more active movement in plain and

fancy white goods. Embroideries were sold publicly and at pri'

vate sale in large amounts at low prices. Woolen gnods for

men's wear remained very quiet in first hands, and prices aie

unsatisfactory to importers. Ribbons and millinery silks were in

steady but moderate demand.
