THE CLE,iRI.NG-HOU>E CEKTIFICAIES AND THE MONETARY

SITIATIII.V.

la the midst of the excitement of the past week the mone-

tary situation has preserved a singular quietude, although

there is an expectation of a slight movement towards a

closer supply of loanable fun'ls. This is founded on several

reasons. First, there is a drain of currency from the banks,

as is frequent at this time of the year. It usually begins

about the 1st of February, and continues until the middle

of April, after which the reflux sets in and continues through

the summer. For this loss of their greenbacks the banks

are not quite so well prepared as they generally have been.

It appears from apublished annlysis of their position during

several successive years, that in comparison with their

liabilities the reserve of the banks is less adequate now, andthe inference sought to be established is, that with a fiir

demand in our local money market, and the prospective

drain of greenbacks to the interior, thsre may be someinterruption of the unbroken fase which has been confidently

calculated upon in some quarters.

Another argument in the same direction is based on the

redemption of the certificates, two millions more of whichnave jusi been called in by the Secretary, pursuant to the

law of July, 1870. The redemption of these Clearing IIous.

certificates will, of course, absorb so much of the bank re-

serves, and occurring at the time when the greenbapks are

also going out from the city, will tend to produce a scarcity

of reserves, and thus to force the banks to contract the ac-

commodations to their dealers.

A similar effect is also expected from Mr. Sherman's bill,

which passed the Senate on Thursday. This measure gives

the Secretary permission to withdraw the certificates at the

rate of 3 millions a month. If it become a law, its opera-

tion would need to' be very cirefully regulated, or trouble

in the money market might be to no small extent accelera-

ted by it.

Such are some of the reasons urged by those who are

expecting a dearer money market. Besides these there is

the possibility of foreign capital being withdrawn from this

side in view of the possible complications in regard to

the Washington treaty. This point does not seem, however,

to be much relied upon, and the opinion seems to be grow-

ing in favor that the utmost evil that can be expected from

the new phases of the Alabama negotiations is the delay

of the amicable settlement which it is the highest interest

and the sincere desire of both nations to arrive at as soon

and as satisfactorily as possible.

A more formidable argument against continued monetary

ease is founded on the position of the savings banks. Four

of these institutions have failed, and in nearly

every case the violations of trust on the part of

the officers have been so gross that the public seem to be

withdrawing in part their confidence from the system. This

result is the more encouraged by the fact that all attempts

are for the present baffled to bring any of the delinquent

officials to account, either by civil or criminal procedure.

The consequence is that the deposits in several of the

younger and less firmly established, though sound and well

managed institutions are gradually diminishing. The oldtr

and better known savings banks do not wholly escape th's

movement, and the result is tbata larger amount of green-

backs than has heretofore been needful has lately been kept

in their vaults to provide against emergencies. It is easy

to see how these savings institutions, connected as they are

with the National banks, and anxiously makmg every effort

to convert their means into a mobilized form, will aid us in

augmenting the pressure on the monetary machinery. Tie

influence is also enhanced by the fact that in a season of dis-

turbed confidence, especially among'the masses of the people

a much larger amount of currency is required to do the

business of the country, and a considerable increase is made

to the amount which is usually dormant in hoards, and in

the pockets of the people all over the country.

These are the chief arguments urged as to a more acf'«

money market. It is an obvious inference from llviil the

money will, at any rate, not ru!e at very low nercial men

n:)id41e of April, so that those of our

174 THE CHRONICLE. [February 10, 1872.

whom engagements require to be provided for prior to that

time will do well to govern themselves accordingly. On

the other hand, there is not much apparent indication of

any spasms in the loan market, unless Mr. Boutwell, which

is very unlikely, should act with undue haste in withdraw-

ing the Clearing-House certificates, which, for some time to

come, will form so useful and indispensable a part of our

bank reserve. ^y'

THE SCARE ABOUT THE TREATY.

In the absence of any other well defined topic capable of

throwing into confusion the Stock Exchange here and in

London, the speculators on both sides of the Atlantic have

adroitly seized the opportunity to get up a short-lived ex-

citement about the Alabama treaty. Sensible men hoped

the old claims therein provided for had long ago been

placed in a fair way for amicable and final adjustment.

Since the Treaty was concluded last May and ratified and

exchangeil on the 17th of June there has not been a dis-

cordant whisper to disturb the harmonious relations between

this country and Great Britain, We had inaugurated as

was thought a new era in the diplomacy of ihe 19th cen-

tury. We were congratulating ourselves that we had dis-

covered a novel method of adjustment by which not only

this particular grievance but all future differences could be

set at rest, and war rendered impossible for ages to come

between the two greatest commercial nations of modern

Christendom who are so closely allied by blood, by

free institutions, by high spirit, by national honor, by

the mutual intercourse of commerce and trade, carry-

ing the flags of the two countries side by side over the

whole world. Never has a treaty been made with a more

general and honest belief that it would be carried out in

good faith, and that no possible question could be raised

which its tribunals would not be found competent to

solve. When the Geneva conference meets next June wchold that by the terms of the trenty our claims against

which England objects should be fairly presented, and the

arguments against them fully heard. If the objections in

regard to jurisdiction which are now put forth with such

unseemly violence by high authority in Great Britain

are valid, these claims for construction and interential dam.ages will be there and then ruled out, and both our Govern-ment as complainants, and the Government at St. James'sas defendants, will gracefully acquiesce. Meanwhile the

discussion of the question ought to cease, as an altercation

coram non judice.

It must be remembered that international tribunals like

those convoked by this treaty have no Eettled code of prac-tice like the courts of municipal justice. In the absence ofany rule to forbid, our representatives in the conferencehave therefore done right to make their case as strong asthey could

; and public opinion in this country would nothave been satisfied, if the statement of our case had excludedthese claims for consequential damages for the losses in-

flicted on us by the Alabama and other ships similarly

equipped against us.

Claiming the right to give ? place to these damages be-fore the Geneva Commission, we must concede to Englandthe right to oppose us either by the persuasion of friendly

remonstrance prior to the convention, or by the force of ar-

gument and proof in face of that tribunal. Every rule ofoternational law and common justice justifies either of these

rignaqrses. England at present has used her undoubtedcede frorr.fprmer, and as we are bound in honor not to re-

•econd plan n^osition, she will undoubtedly adopt the

and is ready to deal authoritatively with the questions to

be raised.

Now, we submit, that there is nothing in all this to jus-

tify the foolish reports which for sensational purposes, po

litical and financial, have filled the newspapers for some

days past. What are the facts? The Queen of Great

Britain tells her Parliament that " in the case submitted by

the United States large claims are included which are un-

derstood, on my part, not to be within the province of the

arbitrators." She added that she had caused a friendly

communication to be made to our government relative to

these claims. This document is on its way. Its con-

tents are friendly, and no doubt when it arrives we shall

give its arguments the respectful consideration due from one

high contracting party to every formal representation of the

other. Of course, our case will be left substantially

as it stands for the adjustment of the Geneva tribunal.

But, saving this essential point, there may be moans found

to simplify and shorten the proceedings ; and for conveni-

ence in the discussion, some minor matters of difference

may admit of preliminary adjustment. To find out whether

or not this is posdble is no doubt competent for either party ;

and if, as was announced on Thursday, Mr. Adams has

sailed for New York, his visit to President Grant may have

this special object in view. Should this prove a fair view of

the situation there is no such danger to our international peace

and friendsliip, nor even to the success of the treaty, as is

pretended. And a significant confirmation may b«i derived

from the fact that at Washington there is no such excite-

ment as the cable reports to exist in London ;and that all

the efforts of the gold operators have not succeeded in put-

ting up gold on this side to a higher point than on other

grounds cited last week it might fairly have been expected

to reich. On the other side of the water the speculations for

a fall in our government bonds have met with even less suc-

cess, and will probably entail heavy ksses before the short

sales are covered.

If, in view of these facts, it is asked why Mr. Glad-

tone made so intemperate a speech oo the subject m

Commons on Tuesdaj, and why both

in Parliament de-

gLuiic iiittuo so

the House of

the Ministry and the Opposition

nounce in terms equally violent with those of the

English newspapers, the claims of the United States for

consequential damages, the reply has been given that so

long as these matters do not cause more serious disturb-

ance at the Stock Exchanges where millions of property are

at stake and where vast sums are paid for the earliest

and best information, which is being searched for continually

by the keenest intellects in Europe and in this country, we

may safely infer tliat secret causes are well known for

what has happened, and that the intemperate and undig-

nified ebullitions in nnd out of Parliament on this question

have some unknown purpose or satisfactory explanation, or

some casual origin not at all at variance with the evident

and direct friendliness of the attitude of the two govern-

ments. How far this interpretation may be from the

truth we shall learn a few days hence when the " friendly

message" of Great Britain is received at Washington and

is published, as it doubtless will be, for the information of

all classes of our people. Meanwhile, it is believed in

quarters entitled to credit that the two governments have

an understanding that the damage, direct, indirect, and

constructive, shall not exceed a limited sum which is rea-

sonably stated at from 20 to 30 millions of dollars.

VIRGINIA m IIER CREDITORS.

Since our recent, discussion of the debt of Virginia, that

n^er when the tribunal reassembles 1 State has shown sttjme sensitiveness about the charge q( re-

February 10, 1872.J THE CHRONICLR 176

pudiatlon which has been very freely biou^ht again't her.

She has placed her finances in the hands of a special com.

mittee of the Legislature, who have just made their report.

It seems that of the $47,0i)0,000 which make up the public

debt, 12 millions are held in Virginia, 23 millions here and

in other States, and about 12 millions in Europe. No part

of the debt has been created since the war. Every dollar

of it is represented by some of those magnificent public

works in which lies the promise of so much prosperity to

Virginia in the future. No State in this Union has a debt

more creditsble to the honor and capacity of her financial

officers, or more free from the taint of extravagance, fraud,

or douht. It is this debt with which the committee had to

deal, and what they propose is briefly comprehended in these

two propositions. First, they would cancel thirty millions

of bonds issued under the funding bill of last year, and

compel the creditors to give them up for new bonds. These

bonds are to run 34 years, and to bear three per cent interest

for the first 12 years, six per cent for. the next 11 years, and

9 per cent for the final 11 years. Secondly, all contracts

recently made under the solemn sanction of the State in ac

cordance with the funding bill are revoked, and the creditor

is to have no security that the present contract will not be

similarly disallowed and renounced hereafter. And as to

the one-third of the debt which under the funding bill was

in suspense until West Virginia should assume her equit-

able share, this sum is thrown out, and all responsibility for

its future adjustment denied.

It is somewhat noteworthy that in the face of this docu-

ment which represents the prevailing views of those

entrusted with the management of the State finances, these

persons, one and all, deny any intention to repudiate the

just claims of the bondholders, and profess a sincere

desirr to keep good faith and pay all that is honestly due,

principal and interest, as soon as they can. They argue,

however, that they are dissatisfied with the Funding bill,

that they can exact better terms, and save money for the

State Treasury, and that they aie compelled to do this

because the people are too poor to pay the sums imposed

upon them. Let us briefly examine these statements. And

in the first place we freely concede that if the State should

carry out this purpose, their creditors would have no legal

redress. The State cannot be sued, and it holds, therefore,

absolute power over its creditor.', and may pay them one-

half or one-quarter, or any other fragment of their just

claims. In the s'^me secse the State has the power to re-

pudiate or refuse the claims altogether. At least there is

no remedy provided by Jaw or in equity for any such

enormity.

Secondly, the funding arrangement of April, 1871, is

confessedly open to objection by the State, as well as by

her creditors in some minor points ; and although when the

bill was under discussion, and on its passage through the

Legislature, most of its faults were corrected, it was capable

of further improvement. Still on the whole it dij sub-

stantial justice, and the creditors were satisfied. This law

funded two-thirds of the debt, giving for the remaining

one-third certificates payable with interest afler the settle-

ment with West Virginia. The proposition was solemnly

ratified by law, and was accepted and acted upon by all

parties concerned. Thirty millions of bonds had been

funded under this statute, when in December, 1871, a

resolution was passed, stopping all f\irther action.

This resolution repealed the funding law underwhich three-fourths of the outstanding debt had already

changed its form, and declared what had been done invalid.

The resolution passed both houses, and was vetoed by the

body is unable as yet to pass it over the veto. But vehe-

ment efforts are making to command the needful votes, and

yet with these efforts making, Virginia claims that she Is not

really branding herself with the shame, and the burning

disgrace of repudiation.

It is not our wish to repeat this word as it is so offensive

and irritating; we will therefore piss totheother arguments

in behalf of it, which are that the State is too poor to pay

the amount promised in its name last year. Is this so ? Weconcede that Virginia was impoverished by the war. But

she is fast recuperating. Scarce y a single State in the

South offers such an attractive field to farmers, miners, man-

ufacturers, tradesmen and every class of persons with capi-

tal and brains. Still Virginia with all her rich and glow-

ing possibilities is too poor to do what she contemplates.

If she were the richest State in the Union such a breach of

f«ith as is comprised in her repeal of an engagement in-

volving 40 millions of her public debt would prostrate her

credit in all the Bourses and money mirtj of Europe and of

this Continent, Virginia is indeed too poor to brave these

risks.

Moreover Virginia cannot afford to drive capital from her

by bad faith. If she is discouraged and disheartened it

is for want of capital. Nature has richly endowed her. Her

mines of coal and iron are of incalculable value. Her na-

tural resources are not inferior to those of Pennsylvania

where land within the memory of men now living sold for

a dollar an acre which is now worth five hundred to one thou-

sand dollars. Her splendid climate, her rich and unde-

veloped minerals, her unrivalled ports where all the navies of

the world could ride at anchor, point her out as a great com-

mercial State, but most of these local advantages are dormant

and undeveloped for want of capital. Her great systems of

communication with the interior were planned by the

enterprising genius of Washington ; they were advocated by

the eloquence and far-seeing patriotism of Henry and

Marshall, of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe; they were

constructed by the very bonds which she is now trifling with

in so reckless a spirit. In these great public highways this

money has been invested. They must be completed. The

glorious future which solicits Virginia awaits the finishing

of these roads. It will not be consummated without them.

But they cannot be finished and their connections extended

so as to tap the richest centers of the Mississippi valley for

want of capital. It is because Virginia is so poor, then,

because she is in such pressing need of capital to enable

her to develop her resources, that we say she had better

lose no time in retracing her steps, revoking her suicidal

assault on the funding bill, and withdrawing her rash hand

from the sacred fane of her public credit.

Though poor, however, Virginia, as we have said, is recu-

perating. Exclusive of West Virginia, she has a population

of 1,200,000. Her area contains 61,000 square miles of

land unequalled by any similar tract on the Atlantic sea-

board in some of its prospective advantages. Her real

esUte was valued in 1870 at 280 millions and her personal

estate at 86 millions. What, in comparison, is the charge

imposed by the funding bill. The interest to be paid is

less than 2 millions. The assessed valuation of property is

366 millions. Three dollars a year per capita will pay the

interest on the bonds and all the other expenses of her gov-

ernment, with the sinking fund besides. And what is

this sum"? It is just about two thirds of the

sum spent every year for whiskey in the very State

which is contriving the ruin of her credit and the destruc-

tion of her prosperity, which was developing ^under such

happy auspices. But even this is not all. Her personal

this moment is full. Last October there was in vault

more than a million of dollars, and now the ag.,'regate is

said to be a million and a half. If her credit is not sacri-

ficed she can always command for an emergency a tem-

porary loan. Hence there was no reasonable ground for

fear when the Legislature refused to make the appropriation

to pay the January interest, so as to carry out her stipula-

tions with her creditors. With ordinary care her finances

need never show a deficit. What will happen, if she con-

summates the present scheme, every true friend of old

Virginia shrinks from contemplating.

COMMERCIAL FAILURES LAST YEAR.

Bankruptcies, like shipwrecks, may be caused either by

bad seamanship or periU of the ocean. And if, on this

continent, we have an unnecessarily large number of mer-

cantile failures it is an interesting question of practical

statesmanship how far such disasters are due to those

general causes and to what extent the proclivities thereto

may be reached and corrected by the timely application of

judicious remedies. From the beginning of the commercial

life of this country we seem to have had an excessive pro-

portion of insolvencies ; and, in recent years, an oppressive

fiscal burden, a prodigious debt, an irredeemable currency, a

defective financial system, and a spasmodic money market

have not tended much to lessen the perils incurred by the

navigators who venture too far on the tempestuous billows

of American industry.

Buckle, Draper, and other writers on political philosophy

have collected numerous instances of the regular return of

social phenomena which are casual, but are seemincly under

the control not of chance but of a law of recurrence which

seldom varies beyond fixed bounds. Commercial failures

have claimed a place among these " law-governed cas-

ualties." But we can hardly grant the claim without

demur. Much may be said, however, in its favor. For,

although there is a considerable variation in the numberand extent of failures among different nations, England

having fewer than ourselves and Continental Europe fewer

than England, still it must be conceded that in the same

country the insolvencies occur in a pretty even ratio with

the changing contingencies which render business from year

to year more or less hazardous.

In the absence of complete statistics of the commer-cial growth of the country, the figures annually published

by the Mercantile Agencies, showing the number and value

of the commercial failures, have a certain interest, as they

are compiled with much care, and are believed to be trust-

worthy as far as they go. The tables for the past year havejust been made up; and as compared with previous years

it appears, on the whole, as was anticipated, that -our busi-

ness men have not suffered any unusual pressure of disaster.

Still the ugly fact is once more brought to view, that in theUnited States alone of all learning commercial countries in theworld, the failures extend in the most prosperous years toone per cent of the persons engaged in active business, andannually engulf on the average one per cent or more of thecapital embarked in trade. At certain less favorable times,as in 1857, the year of the great panic ; and in 1801, thefirst year of the civil war ; the usual limits of commercialfailures are very much exceeded, as will be seen from thesubjoined (able, which shows the aggregate failures in thewhole country, with their number and total liabilities for

each of the past fifteen years

It will be observed that last year the failures were indi-

vidually larger than for two or three previous years. Thetotal liabilities are a little below those of 1870 ; but exceed

the aggregate of any previous year since the outbreak of

the war, except 1867 ; when Mr. McCiilloch's ill-timed

efforts at contracting the currency, although they failed of

the'r ostensible purpose, the depressing of the gold premium^

had at least this result, that by the monetary spasms they

induced, an effectual check was given to an incipient infla-

tion of credit, and a multitude of over-expanded firms were

precipitated into bankruptcy. Some of our shrewdest finan-

cial observers believe that we are now threatened with a

similar inflation from the excessive credits of some of

our banks, business firms, and credit institutions. In con-

firmation of this view, it is regarded as an unfavorable sign

that the failures all over the country are increasing in the

average liabilities of each insolvent.

As to the actual losses by these failures, thoy find no

place in the list. Its compilers would greatly enhance the

v,alue of ttieir work if they could give from the abundant

evidence at their command a fair estimate as to the

unpaid losses actually accruing to the creditors after the

estates of their bankrupt debtois were exhausted ; and also

as to the aggregate capital destroyed by these commercial

shipwrecks. A loose notion prevails in some quarters

that except the individual creditors nobody loses by a

bankruptcy but the ruined firm itself. Tiiis is a mistake.

Every insolvency annihilates capital ; and so far tends to im-

poverish the community, to check the growth of productive

industry, and to destroy some of the most precious seeds of

the wealth of the country. Forgetful of this elementary

truth, some pretenders to political knowledge argue that to

the nation at large no loss whatever accrues from the worst

panics and failures, inasmuch as what one set of traders loses

another gains; and, like a fertile orairie desolated by a

flood, the fields of commerce and industi^y soon regain all

they had lost, and more. This specious argument has even

been applied to the public debt by repudiators, both in

England and in this country. If the debt could be got rid

of, say these far-seeing statesmen, who would be the losers ?

Who but a few bondholders ? And why should the inter-

ests of this small minority of rich people be made so much

of? What they might lose, would not twenty or thirty mil-

lions of poor people gain 1 How, then, would there be any

general loss, or any other evil but an individual loss by the

minority to the advantage of the majority, from this sum

mary destruction of thousands of millions of national obli-

gations. These Mephi.=tophilcan principles have never failed

to plunge any people that has adopted them into the gulf of

bankruptcy, dishonor and commercial ruin, and they have

long ago received their quietus both here and in England,

and wherever else the national honor is held sacred. In

regard to commercial failures the argument is equally at

fault. A nation suffers harm in its organic life whenever a

just debt is not justly paid. The demoralization of distion

esty, like a cancer, spreads far and wide, eating its way into

the vitals of the body politic. The 60 or 80 millions

of capital in this cjuntry annihilated and destroyed by

bankruptcies every year is so much dead loss. It diminishes

the aggregate wealth, and paralyzes the productive power

of the nation. It abstracts ffom our means of growth and

commercial progress a sum equivalent, in all probability, to

double the liabilities which are not pftid in the bankruptcy

liquidations.

February 10, 1872.] THE CHRONICLE 177

It has, indeed, been contended that much us the

creditors of a bankrupt may losa by his fsilures, he himself

loses twice aa much, unless in a few exceptional cases of

fraud ; for in wrecking his business he loses all the capital

he put into it, together with the whole mass of skill and

effort and labor which he has for years devoted to building

up the edifice which insolvency has laid in ruins. How-ever this may be, what is certain is that the collective

nation loses more than both parties together ; for every

failure strikes a blow at the industrial vigor and commercial

life of the nation, and is far more destructive to its pro-

ductive energies than any mere loss of a given sum in

dollars and cents. On thisground then, as well as for other

reasons, the causes of mercantile failures have a claim to

investigation ; and it behoves us to find out, if we can, whytherd are in this country so much larger a proportion of

thene catastrophes than in other countries, and whether

legislative or other precautions can interpose any safe-

guards against this formidable evil. These questions wemust waive for the present, and we close with a table,

compiled from various reports, showing how the failures

have been distributed through the various States during the

past three years :

CURRENT TOPICS,

All trustees of savinga iMtnlca ahall be peraonally liable for the,nk and deposits held by them, and on the refusal of the bank,

through any of Its officers, to pay any depositor, they shall have the right andpower to sue and collect tlie amount of such deposit from any trustee in thesame manner as now provided by law for the collection of debta.Sec. 2.—No person nhall be n trustee of any savings bank nnlesa he 1« the

located, free and clear from all encumbrance, and shall file in the CountyClcrk^s office in the county where the bank is sitiiatoil a ccrtiflcAte of owner-ship of such property duly acknowledged in the same manner as a deed,within thirty days from the passage of tlie act.

Every one must approve of the proposition to make the man-agers of savings banks responsible to the depositors. But this

object cannot be accomplished in the way proposed in either of

these two specimens of Albany legislation.

Sayinob Bank liEGiSLATiON at Albany.—The popular ex.

citement evoked by the recent savings bank frauds and embezzle-

ments in tliis city is likely to cause some important changes in

the laws regulating such institutions in this State. Sucli changes

for a long period have usually tended toward greater relaxation ;

for tlie savings banks of this State have been for over a quarter

of a century so well managed that ^they enjoyed the almost un-

limited confidence of the people. Now, however, the tide of

public feeling has turned, and the course of legislation will be

likely to turn also. As an indication of what may be expected wemay cite one of the most recent proposed laws on the subject. It

was introduced by Mr. John Foley on Wednesday. It provides

that no savings bank shall receive more than $5,000 on deposit

from any person, nor shall be allowed to pay more than 6 per

cent, interest except there be a surplus, when the extra dividend

shall be paid out of the surplus ; no loan is to be made on anysecurities wliich sell below par unless by the vote of two-thirds

of the trustees ; no trustee except the President is to receive anysalary ; in case of any trustee accepting a salaried office in the

bank his trusteeship is to cease at once. The act contains some

Government Gas Monopolies.—An association, claiming to

represent the gas consumers of tlie west side districts of the city,

are agitating the question of a transfer of the business of gas

manufacture from the hands of private companies to those of the

city authorities ; the gas thus made at public expense to be sold

to consumers at cost. It is a curious fact that there is in this

country a class of sufferers from the extortions of monopolies, andit is not a small'class, who immediately[run to the Oovernment for

assistance. They appear to forget that according to the experi-

ence of the world enterprises of any kind conducted at public ex-

pense are much more costly and much less satisfactory than

those conducted by private corporations, and that no monopoly is

BO odious or oppressive as a Government monopoly, being a very

fruitful source of corruption and oppression. The work of reform

in our city is not yet so thorough or effective that we can safely

ask the Legislature to give our public officers this further aid to

corruption. Such a remedy would, it is evident, give rise to evils

far greater than those which it is designed to correct. All that

we need of the Legislature in this matter is that it shall, so far as

the case will admit, open tlie question of supplying gas to the

city to competition among all who may choose to engage in it.

If this could be done on some proper system, private and indi-

vidual competition would soon settle the question of monopolyin the best and most permanently satisfactory manner.

A Ne-w Steam Line to Naples Proposed.—We understand

that a company has been organized in Naples for the purpose of

establishing a new line of steamers to this port, the steamers to

be running before the close of another year. The vessels are to

be built on the Clyde ; they are to be of iron, of 3,000 tons each,

and fully as good, it is stated, as any steamers afloat. On each

voyage they will touch at Gibraltar, and either Marseilles, Paler-

mo, or Messina. The projectors of the enterprise expect to do a

good business in the transportation of Mediterranean fruit, and

to this end the most approved apparatus will be employed for the

ventilation of the cargo, a precaution which Is necessarily ne-

glected on most vessels of the smaller class engaged in this trade.

Besides fruit, it is also expected that the establishment of direct

steam communication with the Mediterranean ports will have the

effect of building up a large and profitable general trade, as well

as a passenger movement extensive enough to aid materially in

making the line profitable. It is reported that the capital stock

of the company has already been fully subscribed, chiefly in Na-ples, and tliat contracts for the construction of the ships are to be

given out at once.

The Rdsso-Qerman Alliance.—The visit of Von Moltke

and Prince Frederick Charles to the Czar of Russia to receive the

cross of the Order of St. George in acknowledgment of their dis-

tinguished military talents has given rise to renewed reports of

an alliance between Russia and Germany. The ostensible pur-

pose of such an alliance is said to be to maintain peace through-

out Europe, even if it be necessary to goto war to secure that

result ; what its actual purpose is, if such a treaty has really been

entered into, can, we think, be easily imagined. Separate, Russia

and Germany, the two great military powers of Europe, act as a

constant check upon each other, either being able to defeat, or at

least to hinder, the successful execution of any policy calculated

to extend their boundaries or disturb the balance of power;

other less practical provisions, for example, any trustee gviilty of|together, however, they can dictate terms to almost any govern-

m TflE OHUOKiCLB. [februaty lO, l872.

mentof "E.S^, and materially aid each other in carrying out

any Bchemes which either may have in view. Hence we think

it highly improbable that this treaty is designed to se-

cure and perpetuate peace and good will among nations, by

holding in check the belligerent tendencies of such of

'the smaller powers as might otherwise choose to go to

war among themselves. "Peace alliances" of this kind

have always done more to disturb than to assure the peace of

Europe. Besides, governments which want peace do not busy

themselves with vast and costly preparations for war, and neither

Russia nor Germany have so fully achieved the end and aim of

their respective policies as to render it probable that they will

emplov their vast armies merely as an international police to

keep other nations from quarrelling. We cannot, therefore

think such an alliance would be in the interest of peace, or tha

it is, from any point of view desirable.

Wabming APPAR.'i.TUS FOR PASSENGER CARS.—Within the

short space of two weeks three railway accidents have happened

in which the horrors necessarily attending the destruction of

rapidly running trains were aggravated and intensified by the fact

that the shattered cars were set on fire before the dead and

wounded could be removed from the trains. Year after year

these same shocking scenes have been repeated, and each season

they appear to become more and more frequent. Is it not time,

therefore, that our raih'oad companies should be required by

State laws to devise some other means of warming passenger

cars than by the use of stoves, which are liable at any moment

to be torn from their fastenings and overturned, spilling their

contents over the highly inflammable'woodwork and upholstery ?

There are many ways of heating passenger cars at once better

and safer, and when applii>d, no more costly. The best of these

is, perhaps, the distribution by means of pipes laid along the

floors of the cars, of steam generated in boilers, so placed that

the overturning or destruction of a car or train would not scatter

burning coals. This system has been successfully introduced in

the palace cars running upon several of our roads, and what is

practicable in cars of one class is practicable in cars of all classes.

In Europe several other systems have been employed, generally

with satisfactory results. There is, therefore, no reason why our

railrotid companies should not make the desired change, and not,

as under the present system, add so much to the ordinary dangers

of travel ty rail.

Subsidies to Steamship Lines—The China Line.—Ageneral policy of granting subsidies to lines of steamships, wehave never defended ; but the action on Thursday of the Senate

Committee en Post Offices and Post Koads, agreeing to report

favorably the bill doubling the mail service and subsidy for the

line between the United States and China, we heartily approve of,

and think it will meet with quite general favor. The importance

of that service is readily appreciated, opening to this country, as

it already hds, the eastern trade, which not only is a benefit in

itself, but is also furnishing business for our Pacific roads, in

which onr Government is so largely interested. At present the

infrequency of the communication with China serves as a checkupon the development of that trade ; doubling the service will

thus largely tend to give it the impetus needed. The questionalso of paying this line an additional subsidy is very different

from offering it to a line not yet established. These Chinasteamers are already doing a successful business, and thisassistance granted by the Government will not therefore be lost

or be of doubtful effect, but will actually enlarge the service andensure the more rapid acquisition of the trade desired. And inthis connection the attitude of the Chinese and Japanese towardthe United States is quite an interesting feature. They appear tolook upon us as the coming nation, and are ripe for the changewhich, we think, with proper encouragement from ourselves is

sure to come.

Crvii, Service Keform.—A large number of merchants ofthis and other States have signed a memorial to Congress askingthe early attention of Congress to three subjects : First, appoint-ments to and removals from public office, both of which, as thepetitioners claim, should be made with reference to the honestyefficiency, and capability of the applicant or incumbent. Second'the salaries of jublic officers, which the petitioners claim shouldbe commensurate to the responsibilitieB of the office and thecapacity of those appointed to fill them. Third, the siezure andRTamination of private books and accounts, which is now done in

A mannei which .i« a direct violatioa of private rights nad & dis-

grace to a free country. The petition bears the signatures of four

hundred and fifty of our best houses and responsible business

firms, and we are satisfied it asks for nothing but such reforms as

are universally admitted to be necessary to secure a pure and

efficient civil service,and further that it represents the views of the

best and most influential classes of the business community, not

in New York alone, but in all parts of the country, for the signers

reside in twenty-one different States. Congress has repeatedly

discussed, though without reaching the point of definite action,

these very reforms, and we hope it will regard the petition

referred to as entitled to serious and immediate consideration.

BANKING AND FINANCIAL.

ST. JOSEPH AND DENVER CITT RAILROAD COMPANY'S

FIRST raOBTOAGK SINKING FITNB I-ANI> CHANTBONDS,

BEARING EiaHT PER CENT. (8 p. C.) INTEREST PATABLB IN GOLD,

FREE OF TAX,

AND IN Denominations op $1,000, f500 and $100,

can be obtained from the undersigned, or through the principal

banks and bankers throughout the United States.

The attractive features of these Securities are recognized in the

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

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

sale.

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

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

Company through the operation of the Sinking Fund created

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

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

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

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

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

with the Union Pacific Railroad at Fort Kearney, materially

shortening the distance between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

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

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

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

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

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

The Money market.—There has been an abundant supply of

loanable funds during most of the week, and business has gener-

ally been done on a basis of 6@7 per cent, with exceptions at 5,

and sometimes at 4 per cent. There have been some periods of

temporary disturbance, however, and on Tuesday afternoon and

early Wednesday, money was stringent among stock brokers,

with rates up to 7 per cent gold, and in some cases a commission

also paid, in addition. The market subsequently relaxed, and the

temporary stringency was attributed to manipulation for specula-

tive purposes.

The sharp discussion which has occurred in regard to the Ala-

bama claims and the possibility of trouble with England, followed

by -a depression in the London market, has given rise to a

Blight feeling of anxiety here, but not sufficient to aflfect our

money market. There is no such attitude of hostility on the part

of the Government in either country as to warrant any excitement

or talk of probable war ; and it is in the highest degree probable

that all the questions of difference will be easily adjusted by nego-

tiation within a short tune.

The last bank statement showed a decrease of $955,225 in the

excess above legal reserve, and a further decrease in specie. Theliabilities stood at $249,125,400, and the total reserve at $70,.551,-

900, being $8,270,500 in excess of 35 per cent of the liabilities.

The following statement shows the changes from previous

week, and a comparison with 1871 and 1870

The demand for commercial paper has not been as active as last

week, in consequence of the slight irregularity in the moneymarket. The supply of paper offering is not large, however, andthe demand for accommodation seems to be unusually light fromthe mercantile community.

United States Bonds,_Govemment bonds were steady early

in the week, but have [since been depressed by the discussions in

regard to the Alabama claims, and the consequent weakness of

pnces in London. In this connection it may be remarked that the

quotntiona received from London in the present period of dis-

turbance, ns often before at sucli timos, are not altogether reliable.

There are nhvaj-H parties who are IntcreHted in depressing |)ric<a,

and siioli parties by creating firtilious quotations by offering

small lots of securities after business hours, or in some othersimilar method, and then procuring such prices to be telegraphe<las " the market," frwinently succeed in making a temporary de-jireflsion to suit their own purposes. The cable reix)rts should bewatched, at these times, with the utmost care. The (closing pricesin London to-day at .'» P. M., were as follows: Consols i)l| formonev and 1)1^03 for the account.

The market here has declined about } to 1 per cent, on the oldbonds, in syniinUliy with London, and some of the foreign l)anker8hav<! been selling pretty freely, apparently in anticipation of thereturn of bonds from abroad. The sales, however, have beenpretty well met by a good demand from home buyers, and par-ticularly banks in the interior, who have been glad of the oppor-tunity to get bonds at lower prices.

At the close, there was a decidedly firmer tone, the largerholders of bonds were stiff, and parties who had been sellingwere making inquiries to repurchase.Prices bid daily, and the range since January 1, have been

has been unsettled, and, upon the whole, weak, though prices atthe close showed more steadiness and were ^1 per cent, betterthan at the lowest point of the week. On Saturday, the 3d inst.,the day following that upon which our last report was written,stocks were firm and gave the appparance of much strength thisweek

;but with some uncertainty in regard to the position of lead-

ing operators, and a threatening at times of artificial stringency inthe money market, and also the disturbed condition of foreignaffairs, prices have been feverish and irregular, working downfrom 1 to 2 per cent., and touching about the lowest point onThursday, since which there has been a reaction as above noticed.It IS not certain that the general position of the market haschanged, and the decline which has taken flace may be used as abasis for higher prices hereafter.

Railroad earnings, so far as reported for the month of Januaryare favorable, as vnW be seen in the following table :

The Gold inarket.—The gold market, which we have noticed

recently as having a firmer tone, under the influence of the move-ments of some leading operators, has received a further impetusin the discussion of our treaty relations with England. With this

source of strength, assisted by a slight scarcity of cash gold for

borrowing, the price has been up to 110}, though reacting to-day,

and closing at llOJ. It is hardly too much to say that war withEngland is generally considered by our leading financial men ashighly improbable ; and the influence npon gold may have alreadybeen fully discounted. Rates for carrying have ranged from" flat " to 7 gold, and to-day were 6, 7, (H. 5. '"^^ 3 per cent.

The Assistant Treasurer sold $1,000,000 on Wednesday, bids

amounting to $3,695,000. He has now paid out on account of

5-30s redeemed, a total of $34,395,000, and on account of Januaryinterest, $16,751,000.Customs receipts this week amount to $3,373,000.The following table will show the course of the gold premium

Foreign Exchange.—During the early days of the week exchange was dull and business done at \@i concession on the nom-inal rates. But on Thursday the market became decidedly firmer,

and some very large purchases were made by a foreign bankinghouse, probably in anticipation of a return of bonds to this marketfrom abroad. The negotiation of bonds abroad, and the large

purchases of railroad and other securities here for foreign account,which have been made since the first of January, have heretofore

depressed prices. As to the cotton crop, it must be rememberedthat there is much yet to go forward, and if present prices are

paid for it, much exchange will be produced. ,,,

prices for each month have been published, will be found in theintroduction to the table given below.Railroad EarnlnKs.—Reports of railroad earnings for January

come in rather slowly, but so far as yet received they are quitefavorable, and will be found in our regular table of comparativemonthly earnings, on a subsequent page. In consequence of thesnow-blockade, there is no definite report of Union Pacific earn-ings, but from the Central Pacific the remarkable statement ofan increase of $97,982 over the earnings of January, 1871, notwith-standing the fact that through traffic was interrupted nearly thewhole month by the blockade on the Union Pacific. The CentralPacific has shown a large increase in earnings from year to year,but this exhibit (or January, 1872, evinces more positive strengthin the position of the company than anything heretofore pub-lished. There has probably been an impression that thisroad was largely dependent upon through business, while thisdevelopment of earnings from local traffic (which is by far thebest business a railroad can have) shows that the company mightlive and flourish without any through traffic at all. The com-parative figures are as follows

:

For the month of .January, 1872 $634,480For the month of January, 1871 536,498For the month of January, 1870 418,104Increa-se this year over 1871 97,982Increase this year over 1870 221,376

Illlnola Railroad and Warebonae Commlsalonera Re-port ror 1870-71.—We regret that lack of space has preventedus from giving earlier attention to this report, which we havereceived with much satisfaction, as another step made towardsobtaining full and reliable information in regard to railroadafihirs. The railroads of Illinois have become famous for theirprosperity—at least this may be said in regard to a number of theleading lines—and the success of these roads has probably donemore to stimulate railroad building throughout the West, thanany other influence. The Commissioners—Messrs. GustavusKoerner, Richard P. Morgan, Jr., and David S. Hammond—havelabored assiduously to prepare a valuable report, though meetingwith numerous ditiflculties, the chief of which was the reluctanceof many companies to make returns, in consequence of theirclaim that the law requiring such returns is not constitutional.There has been much criticism upon the action of the Commis-sioners, a large part of it undoubtedly without foundation, but it

is possible that the board, in some minor points, may haveaddressed the companies too arbitrarily.

The true relations and obligations of a corporation, to the Stategovernment under which it exists, should become more definitelyand thoroughly understood. It would be a wretched policy forany State to persecute, or impede the legitimate business of its

large railroad companies, which add so immensely to the State'spro8j)erity. On the other hand, there .seems to be no reason whythe most complete and detailed information in regard to theafiairs of railroad, financial, insurance and trust corporations,should not be made at specified periods to the State authorities.These corporations hold franchises which are immensely valua-ble, and make all their profits out of the people, so that it seemseminently proper that they should be duly accountable to theLegislatures of their respective States. The work of obtainingreports from railroads is making good progress in various States,which have not until recently required any returns, and, we trust,the day is not distant, when a full report of the condition of everyrailroad in the United States will be made quarterly, or at leastsemi-annually, to the State authorities.

nichlBan Town Railroad Bonda.—In the United StatesCircuit C'ourt yesterday morning, the cases of (Jeorge II. Taylorvs. The City of Battle Creek, and Edward B. Talcott vs. TheTownship of Pine Grove were decided. These cases involved thequestion of the validity of municipal bonds issued in aid of rail-

roads under the general railroad aid laws of Michigan. The for-

mer case arose In the Eastern district of Michigan and the latter

In the Western district. Both were argued together, a few daysago, in this city, before Judges Emmons of the Circuit Court,Withey of Ihe Western District Court, and Longyear of the East-ern District Court. All these judges participated in the decision,and all concurred.The opinion of the court was read by Judge Emmons, and was

a very learned and exhaustive discussion of all the points raised.He reviewed the decisions upon the question of the authority of

the Federal courts to go behind the decisions of the State courtsupon the construction of State constitutions and statutes Hediscussed at considerable length the public character of railroadcorporators, and dissected the decision of the Michigan SupremeCourt in the case of The People vs. Salem, in which they held theRailroad Aid law unconstitutional.He held that the bonds issued by municipalities in aid of rail-

roads, having been issued in good faith and transferred to thehands of innocent purchasers, are valid contracts as between thecitizens of Michigan and other States, which the Federal courtswill enforce. But this only applies to bonds issued before thelaw was declared uncpnstitutional by the State court. Contractsmade subsequent to that decision will not be enforced by this court.

Judges Withey and Longyear read concurring opinions.

The result of this decision, if it is confirmed, as it will doubtlessbe, in the United States Supreme Court, is that the railroad aidbonds are valid in tiie hands of non-residents of Michigan, andcan be collected through the United States courts. It will notthen take long to transfer every bond from the hands of Michi-gan holders to those of non-residents, when their collection can beenforced. As this can only be done by a process of the courts,

which process would have to be invoked to collect any instalmentof interest, it will be seen that some trouble and considerable ex-

pense will still accrue to municipalities before these bonds can begot rid of. But by this decision they are saved from repudiation,

and innocent bondholders are made whole. Doubtless it wovUd bebetter for the municipalities to confess judgment at onje on thewhole amount of their bonds, and thus save the costs of goingthrough litigation iu each case.

It is estimated that the amount of bonds isstied by cities andtownships in Michigan in aid of railroads, and which are coveredby this decision, is $1,500,000. Very many of these are now heldoutside the State, and the balance will soon find their way out.

February 10, 1872.] THE CHRONICLE. 187

Ratland Railroad.—The annual meeting of the Rtock-

holders of tho Rutland milroad was rewntly held. It maybe well to promisH that recent developnicnts havo phowuthat tho company was moro deeply Involved than had been

auppoaed; that a year previous a lease of the Rutland road,

together with all tho lines under its control, was madeto the Vermont Central railroad ; that at the time of the

lease it was believed by the Board of Directors that there wagon hand a sulBcicni amount of assets to meet the custo I'ary lia-

bilities of tho road ; that the directors have recently found that

tho road was in debt over a million and a quarter dollars ; andthat this debt was thrown upon them by the lormer trustees of

tho road, no moans of ascertaining the exact indebtedness of thecompany beinjr in tho directors' hands, as no statement had beenmade by the trustees for seven years. The questions before the

meeting; were the best method of paying the debt, and tho mostexpedient manner of meeting the interest due on the preferred

stock February 1. Mr. Sliillings, in behalf of the di ectora, read

a report, from which the following extracts are made :

" Tho Board,after the cousummation of tho \ense, which was a work'of groallabor, havi' given Iheir attention to pettlin^r up and rellevinc the corporationof the various trust* under wiiieh the road has been worlieu and controlled,known as the trustees of the first and second bondholders, and the results ofour eiibrts are that Ihc first mortgage bonds have been liquidated and becomethe property of the corporation, with the excci)tion of $:i5,(X)0, of which notmore than '$^7,000 ran be traced as yet. and the remainder may never come toli(,'ht. T!ie second mortgafre bonds also have all been liquidated except abouttl5,(H)0, and the trustees have rendered their iiiiount to the court, which hasallowed it to be correct; and the understundin),' of the directors Is that thetrustees under that niorlgaf^e have no further duty or power than to protectthe interest of the outstandint; $15,000 of Ixjuds. II is from the rendering ofthis account of these trustees under the second bonds, and over which thedirectors have had no control whatever, that th(! corporation finds, to its sur-prise, that a lar^e debt was created under that trust, and by them bequeathedto this corporation, and which debt demands the serious consideration of thismeeliug. The following Is an abstract from the treasurer's report, by whiciiwin be seen tlje fioatlng debt of the corporation:

The floating debt, including dividend on the preferred stock. Is. .$1,708,623 56Quick assets 4*4,687 'J2

$1,383,935 64Of this sum it seems the greater part is chargeable mainly to

the expenses incurred by the trnstees, \iz.:

It is not to be understood that the assets herein stated are all the assets thecorporation have, but that the rest are all tied up under the lease and are con-eequcntly not available. The property of every description transferred to thelessees has been most carefully approved and is to be returned in kind at thetermination of lease and of equal value. The board recommend that fullauttiorixy be given to the directors, to be based upon the income of the road,to fund the debt and meet its obligations.

After considerable debate, in which much feeling was mani-fested respecting the heavy debt for which the company wasresponsible, the following resolution was adopted:

Saolvtd, That the directors bo authorized and are hereby instructed to pre-pare and to issue to the holders of tha preferred stock a scrip dividend ofthree and one-batf per cent to date February 1, 1872, upon forty-three thousandabaros of preferred stock, and also, that the directors are hereby instructed

to Iwne aa the nece««ltlei of the road, the payment of arcruInK dividend! andthe debts of llie corporation may re(iulre, a seven per cent bond not exceed-liiK $1,300-000 in amount, such bonds to l>car date February 1, lft'<3. payabletwenty yearn from date, with Interest jmyablc aonii-annnallV on tiic first dtyeof February and AiiKUst of eacii vear, received u|)<in the Income of the corporation ; to be disposed of in liquidation of the licbt at not less than iheir parvalue, provided the scrip dividend on the preferred slock shall be In sums notless than $100, to be at all times convertible into such seven per cent bimds,dollar for dollar of principal and interest, until such times as the corporationshall resume dividends, payoblo In cash, upon the preferred stock.—Z>ai^ll'i/lelin.

Raatern Railroad Election.—BOSTON, Feb. 5.—The annualmeeting of the ITastern Railroad Corporation was held today In

the ladies' room in the depot, but, owing to the crowded attend-

ance, was adjourned to tho Meiondon. The president, (ieorge M.Browne, declined re-election to any office, 'fho following resolu-

tion was passetl :" Menolecd, That the directors of the road be

authorized to issue bonds, not to exceed in amount the sumot |1,-

500,000, for the use of the corporation, in accordance with existing

statutes." A proposition to postpone the election of a board of

directors to an adjourned meeting to be held on Fehruarjr 15,

was carried, and a committee of seven wag appointed to nominatea li.st of directors to be then presented.

Soiitheru Central of New York.—A correspondent of the

New York 'Jhiien says :" Tlie Erie Railway Company has leased

the newly completed Southern Central Railroad, running fromOwego to Fairhaven, on Lake Ontario, via Auburn. The Erie

Railway assumes all bonds, stock and debts of the Southern Cen-

tral ; agrees to ballast and furnish the road, and placo upon it

several hundred coal cars, a large number of passenger andfreight cars, and pay three nnd one-half percent dividends on the

stock of the road for the fir.-it three years. At the end of that

time the dividends will be increased, by a sliding scale of rates

to seven per cent, which percentage will bo made permanent.

The Southern Central is a narrow-gauge, and a third rail will be

put down to allow direct sliipraents of freiglit from New York to

Lake Ontario without reshipment."

H^AHhtabuIa, Youngatown and Pittsburg Railroad.—This

railroad is being pushed towari completion. The grading be-

tween Youngstown and Ashtabula, Ohio, is now well advanced,

and in a few days the track-layers will push forward the laying

of the track. Thus, in a very short time, Pittsburg will be in

direct connection with the City of Ashtabula, and one of the

finest harbors on Lake Erie, via tiie Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and

Chicago, Beaver Valley and Lawrence roads. The comparative

distances stand thus

:

From Pittsburg to Erie H* '"!!'''•

From Pittsburg to Cleveland i5? ""!, '

'

From Pittsburg to Ashtabula ''" miles.

Taxing Coupons and Dividends.— The Commissioner of

Internal Revenue is reported to say that his decision that

dividends declared on tlie first day of January, 1872, shall pay

income tax, if they were based on earnings of 1871, holds good

with regard to dividends and coupons until all dividends and

coupons from earnings of 1871 shall he taxed. He does not

intend to give another ruling, but holds that dividends of earn-

ings are taxable when earned, and the tax must be deducted if

earned in 1871, no matter when payable.

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.Friday Night, Febinary 9, 1872.

There was no new feature in the markets for general

merchandise until yesterday (Thursday), when the excite-

ment in London respecting the diplomatic troubles between

the United States and Great Britain, growing out of the

Alabama claims, began to be shared in our business cir-

cles, and excited an inflaence upon prices of leading staples.

The sentiment was almost universally opposed lo extreme

pretensions and violent measures, and few seemed to have

any apprehension that a rupture is to tai<e place;yet the

inclination in mercantile action was toward the suggestions

of prudence.

Cotton, after an excited advance, closing with some reac-

tion at 23c. for middling uplands. Flour has advanced to

$6 60@6 90 for shipping extras. Wheat firmer at II 55®1 60 for No. 2 spring. Corn 73@74c. for new Western

mixed afloat. Groceries have been dull, with some depres.

sion in cofrees.

In provisions, the principal demand has been for bacon

and lard, on spot and future delivery, here and at the

West. Early in the week, all ho.f products werehigher, but since Tuesday some weakness has been percep-

tible, and a slight decline his taken place. The following

is a comparative exhibit of our exports of provisions for

three years, commencing Nov. 1 :

The increase in the exports ot hrd and bacon is really

remarkable; yet supplies are ample, and yesterday themarket was [uniformly weak for liog products, withdepression in beef and butter, and very little doing inobeese. To-day pork was depressed, and new mess sold at114 12^, for February and March. Lard was steady, butnot active, at 9|@9 11-1 6c. for prime steam, on the spot,and 10c. for April. Bacon was firm, and sold pretty freelyat 7fc. for short clear.

Freights have been fairly active, but with a better supplyof room on the berth, rates have been weak. Yesterday theLiverpool and Glasgow steamers took corn at 5|d. Therehave been also grain charters to Cork, for orders, at 5dTo-day there was more activity; the Liverpool steamerstook 170,000 bush, grain, closing at 5fd. for corn, and 6dfor wheat.

There has been rather more doing in tobacco, but with-out new feature, and prices are without essencial changeThe sales of Kentucky leaf aggregate 500 hhds., nearly allto the general export tra.le

; lugs are quoted at 7i@8+c •

common to medium leaf, 9@12c.

Up to Thursday of the past week the market exhibited a con

tinuance of the same speculative excitement referred to in our

last. The small receipts at our ports reported daily, were, as

before, the basis of the buoyancy and upward movement, but the

quick response at Liverpool at each advance, served to give to the

position its chief strength. Still the sales of spot cotton were not

large, although both shippers and spinners did something. Forthe last two days, however, the excitement about the Alabamaclaims and the treaty at Washington has decidedly checked this

buoyancy. Liverpool has been very tame, and the feeling here

has been correspondingly drooping. Prices are now so high thatthe quotations at Liverpool are watched very closely, even moreclosely than the receipts at our own ports, and the flatness

reported by cable to-day has therefore frightened weak holders

and, with a very light demand, prices have further given way,closing to-night at 23c. for middling uphinds, against 23ic. onWednesday, or a loss of |c. to-day, and Jc. yesterday. For for-

ward delivery the sales have been large, and the fluctuations

frequent. The last quotations for futures were (basis lowmiddling) 33ic. for February, 22fc. for March, 23ic. for April,

33ic. for May, and 23ic. for June. The total sales of this des-

cription for the week are 115,300 bales, including free onboard. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week20,525 bales, including 5,374 for export, 5,837 for consumption,1,160 for speculation, and 8,154 in transit. Of the above, 404bales were to arrive. The following are the closing quotations :

Weather Reports by Telegraph.—Considerable rain has

fallen throughout the South during the past week, accompanied

with cold weather. At Galveston it has rained on two days. At

New Orleans they have had two days of rain, and one day dur-

ing which it was showery. In Mississippi, Alabama, and up

through Georgia and Soutli Carolina they have had from two to

four days of cold rain, the lower States reporting a favorable

change at the close, but at Charleston it continued cold and wet_

At Memphis it has rained on two days, end during the remainder

of the week has been the most of the time cloudy. Our cor-

respondents at Memphis state that about two-thirds of the crop

in that district has now been marketed, which would leave only

about 130,000 bales more to be received at Memphis, bringing tlie

total receipts at that point for the j-ear up to 400,000 bales, andshowing a falling oft" of about 100,000 bales compared with last

year. The thermometer at Memphis has averaged 37 ; at Galves-

ton 47 ; at Macon 42 ; at Columbus 49, and at Charleston 47'

Import, Stock and Consumption of Cotton in Europe.—We take the following figures from the annual circular of Messrs,

Stolterfoht, Sons & Co., showing the stock, import and consump-

tion of cotton in Europe for the years ending December 31, 1870

and 1871. The statement for 1809 will be found in the CmiONiCl-B

(vol. xii.), Feb. 18, 1871, page 216. These figures are expressed in

thousands of bales

Trade Report-The market for yarns and fabrics at Manchester i« Insfavorable.

BREADSTUFFS.Fridat p. M., Febrnary 9, 1872.

There has been but a moderate degree of activity daring the

past week, and flour and wheat have shown a slight improvement,

but corn barely steady, and oats, barley, &c., have been depressed.

Flour shows a materia! falling off in the receipts, while the

demand has slightly improved for home use, and for shipment to

the West Indies and South America. There has, consequently,

been a slight improvement in flour; worth $7 and upward.

Flours from spring wheat have rempined comparatively quiet

but have nevertheless sliown a firmer feeling. To-day, the mar-

ket was generally quoted 10c. higher, in sympathy with wheat,

but trade vpas dull.

The wheat market has been quiet, although the demand has

slightly improved, especially for spring wheat. Millers have

been buying moderately, and shippers have occasionally taken

one or two loads. Receipts by rail have been nearly suspended,

but this is probably only temporary. Receipts at the Western

markets show a great falling off, but the movement has been so

large that the business visibly shows no important diminution.

To-day, with an advance in Liverpool, the sales of spring wheat

were about 130,000 bushels, mainly at |l.50i for Xo, 2 Chicago

and |1.C0 for No. 1 Chicago, in store.

Corn has arrived freely by rail, but prices were well maintained

until yesterday, when, under a decline abroad, the market gaveway one cent a bushel—prime new Western mixed selling at 73J@73c. per bushel afl.oat. In other qualities of corn there has beenhardly enough done to establish prices, and quotations are some-

what nominal. To-day, yesterday's decline was recovered, withdecided activity, at 73(a74c. for prime new Western mixed.)

Rye sold early in the week at 92c. per boat-load of prime West-ern, in store, but has since ruled quiet. Barley has arrived pretty

freely by rail, and has sold at some decline—common State andWestern selling at 8o@88c. and good Canada West at f 1.05.

Oats ruled firm but dull till yesterday, when, at a decline, there

was more activity—prime Western selling at 51c. afloat, andquoted nominally at 53ic. To-day the market was stronger, but

quiet.

aROOERIES.Fkiday EvENuse, Feb. 9, 1872.

The movement of goods still continues a little slow andwithal somewhat disappointing, as many holders had calculated

upon working down their stocks pretty well by this time. ThetamenesB of the demand is in part attributed to the diflScult andsomewhat costly transportation to many points of the interior,

though there is no doubt that country dealers are holding off,

working up old stocks, etc., in hopes that the continued smalloutlet may finally bring importers and the large wholesale

jobbers to better terms and result in modified values. As a rule

however, holders seem to feel just about as much confidence as

ever, and though here and there making the natural modifica-

tions consequent upon a dull trade, are by no means free

operators, and refrain from all pressure to realize. About the

only new feature of the week has been the strengthening of

holders of coffee by the confirmation of the previous rumors in

regard to a short crop of Brazils.

week, were as follows

XEA.The demaud has been somewhat irregular, but, on the whole, fair, and

holders claim to feel a little more encouraged, though not sanguine, andliardly prepared to name and insist upon extreme terms. Jobbers do not seemto lay in stocks with freedom and confidence, as they evidently are unable to

obtain auy definite indication of the probable increase of the Line trade ; anduntil the distribution shows greater and more general life the movement of

invoices can hardly be depended upon. Taken altogether, values appear to be

very well supported, and the market may be called steady, at least. Greens,

as before, exhibit the greatest firmness, and are thought likely to advance, if

judiciously liandled. All desirable parcels of Oolongs are valued at full mar-

ket rates, and during a week or two past Japans have gained tone considera

bly, though not in a buoyant state as yet. The sales in invoices since on r

last embrace 8,100 half cheats Greens, 3,600 half chests Souchongs, 1,400 half

chests Oolongs, 800 iialf chests Japans.

Imports this week have included 16,795 lbs. Black, 915,358 lbs. Green and27,584 lbs. Japan, per "Tai-Tsing," from Shanghai, and 791,022 lbs. Japan, per"Black Prince," from Yokohama. The receipts indirectly have been 687pkgs. by steamer and 5,608 by rail overland.

The indirect importations, Indndiug reeelpts by Pacific Mail steamers viaAspinwall, have been 21,061 pkgs. since January 1, against 4,283 last year.

COFFEE.There is very little If anything new to report in this branch of trade, except-

ing may be even more firmness on the part of holders than heretofore. Thenews to hand via the Sonth America from Rio, Jan. 14, confirm the previous,

rumors of a short crop, and qnote a very strong market at that place at an ad-

vance of 300rei3. The sales from Dec. 23 to Jan. 12 were 58,890 bags, of

which 46,177 were to the United States. The shipments from Rio to the

United States for December, 1871, were 81,413 bags, against 216,538 in Decem-ber, 1870. The shipments from Jan. 1 to Jan. 12, 1872, were 28,400 bags, in-

cluding the cargo of 9,872 just arrived per South America. The dally receipts

averaged but 2,944 bags, against 5,452 same time last year. Stock, 145,000 bags.

Exchange, 24K@243id. These advices are decidedly favorable to holdci s of

Brazils, who now feel confident of higher prices and ©e'er very sparingly, in

some instances withdrawing desirable parcels from the market and not show-ing samples. Early in the week some of the smaller holders appeared rather

more anxious to realize, and were, it is said, willing to make concessions In

order to induce actual buyers to take hold, but since the receipt of the abovenews, all hands are strong in their views . Buyers, however, will not takehold at the moment, the out of town dealers' demand being restricted by theobstructions to transportation, and the local parties appearing well suppliedand rathei more anxions to sell than to buy. The sales efTected thereforefrom first hands have been limited. The demand at the outports has beengood, as wUlbo seen by reference to the sales at the end of this article.

as conHdent as ever thatall the stock of the old crop now here wi I be wantedbi'foro tho new comes forward in any quantity, and are, therefore, offeringb;lt^parin^;ly, and only at full prices, claiming that stocks in the interiormustbeprelty lowand must necessarily soon become entirely exhausted, sothat they will have to come in the market to replenish. The crop of oldIs not larne, and the new Is very slow in coming forward, and holders saythat new will have to accumulate pretty freely before dry old stock prices canhe influenced thereby to any eitent. Buyers, on the other hand, cannot beinduced to lake hold in the face of the present low prices for their product'which docs not leave a margin of profit in refining The market, therefore,presents a dull and very nnintcrcsting appearance. The reports fromthe South still qnote a firm market for the domestic crop, with a fair inquiryfrom the \Viv,t iiul Southern States, and a llirht demand from here, but theniajorlty of the stock thot hax come forward has been sent direct to refiners.There has been rather more demand from the trade for Vacuum, Pan, andClarified sugars, bnt the transactions arc not largo at the moment, and arc notexpected to assume any proportions before the opening of navigation andconsequent resumption of a free trade between here and the West. Refinedsugars remain very dull, and. although the production is light, it is fullyequal to the call, and, in some cases, rather exceeds it. Prices are not de-cidedly chan.ed from last week, but must be considered weak and in favor ofbuyers. The transactions in raws embrace 2,528 hhds.

FItlJITH. Ac.The foreign dried marked remains in just about the aamednU and laognld

condition as has characterized it for some weeks past. Holders have graduallrreduced their value, on mo.-t descriptions without however Impartingany life to trade, and buyers are apparently only taking enough from weekto week to 8U|)ply tlicir most pressing wants. Malaga raisins have againfallen off, as in fact mo-t other doscriptious of foreign have also done, andclose weak iu favor of the buyer. Sardines are an exception to the aboveremarks, and continue to be held firmly for both quarter and half boxes atfully former prices.

In foreign green fruit the fcatnrc of the week has been the sole of 80,000cocoanutsatt.'JO,ond the doling of a contract for tho entire importation ofone for the current year at the tamo price for sound as they run. Otherwisethe market has been quiet and jirices a trifle lower. Malaga lemons are job-bing at $1 5fl@l 75; Palermo $2 75, and Messina at $.1.

Domestic CJREEN.^There is literally no change to notice In this branch ofthe fruit trade. The market is exceedingly dull for all descriptions. Wequote nominally as follows: Apples, Michigan, &c., per bbl., t3@$1 ; doState, good, $3 25@$3 75 ; do. selections, $I@,<14 50 ; common, $'l@'8.

exhibit any matcriol changes. All kinds of peanuts ar,' accumulating, asholders consider present prices too low, and rather than sell are placing thein Instore. The recent large sales in pecans have reduced the stock materially,and prices in consequence are very firmly held at a slight advance on previousfigures. Blackberries arc dull. Cherries and raspberries are held a shadehigher, but business is quiet. State plums are scarce and held firmly, bathere Is very little inquiry for this description.

nOLASSES.So far as foreign stock is concerned, any of our reports for the past few

weeks would describe the position just as well as to write a fresh review fothis edition. There is no positive demand whatever, and buyers, without ex-ception, are in the most indifferent mood imaginable, bidding very low, if atall, and negotiating upon nothing unless through stress of actual necessityGrocers now and then appear, but a very few hogsheads satisfy them, auditrefiners purchase they take just enough to carry them through some specialorder. The latter class of bcycrs are expecting to receive their direct pur.chasea by the time they are ready to hurry the production, and neglect the•lock on hand very naturally. Domestic molasses has been in fair demand,and the better grades show rather more firmness, as the bulk of this class issupposed to be now here, but the lower grades continue dull and neglected.Sugar-house is In improved demand, and, as the stock is light, prices are firm.We note small sales within the range of 18@19c. for hhds. and 22@.2.3c. forbids. Syrups have a good demand, part from New Orleans, but the supply isstill small and the demand taking about all the daily product. We nols saleso 3.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.Fbidat, p.m., Feb. 9, 1872.

There has been an active trade doing this week in all domestic

fabrics, both with agents and jobbers. The large jobbing houses

have been especially active, with heavy buyers from nearly all

the interior cities, and the market assumes more of its wonted

appearance of animation. For this period of the year the busi-

ness is unusually spirited and the season opens most favorably.

The strong tone of prices on nearly all descriptions of goods has

the effect of stimulating trade to a certain extent, though, in

some descriptions of cotton goods, a further advance would

undoubtedly be met by a lack of confidence on the part of buyers

.

There seems to be no actual reason wliy cotton goods should go

higher than they now are, and agents will not be likely to find a

further rise conducive to a healthy business. Cotton is high, but

the advance has been more than discounted on goods, and if

prices are again put up it will be simply a speculative move.

The retail business here and in other cities is progressing fairly,

although there is never much doing just at this season. Collec-

tions are generally easy, and buyers are not, as the rule, asking

for long time.

Domestic Cotton Goods.—There has been a heavy jobbing

trade this week in all descriptions of brown and bleached fabrics,

at full prices, and, in some instances, at a higher range than was

quoted in our last. A few makes of standards have been put up,

but there are some houses that object to an advance, who still

adhere to the previous quotations. Prints are in very good

demand, in first hands, but it is early for largo assortments

of spring colors, and the offerings are restricted. Mourningprints have been very active, in all of the better makes, and are

selling by agents "to arrive." Prices are firm, and entirely

unchanged, with, however, some talk of an early advance.

Colored cottons are meeting more liberal sale at our quotations,

with prices firm and buoyant. Cottonades are selling freely, andsome makes are hhiger than last quoted.

Domestic Woolen Goods.—There is a good call for materials

suited to the spring distribution, such as flannels, repellants, &c.,

and also some inquiry for light weight cloths and cassimeres,

though the demand for the latter fabrics lacks animation. Woolhas advanced materially since Jan. 1, but goods only " hold their

own," and even at the current prices, which are actually low,buyers hold off. The supply of goods in the market is not abovethe average, and there is no apparent reason why full pricesshould not be obtained on all classes of woolens. Shawls areBelling fairly at full prices, with many attractive offerings ofspring weights.

Foreign Goods.—The market is active with importers, theliberal offerings from the recent heavy arrivals having helped tostimulate a good demand from distributors. Dress goods havebeen brought out in very large assortments, and all of the lead-ing styles find a ready market at a fair advance on last season'squotations. Linens are in good request, and find a ready sale atfull prices. Ribbons have been placed in fair amounts, and heldfirmly .by importers, the stock being well under their control.Woolen fabrics are quiet, the demand being mainly for lightweight coatings and cassimere.

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