THE TREASURY GOLD SALES.
The news from Paris yesterday tended to increase the
incertitude and hesitancy of the movements in Wall Street,
developed by the recent unauthorized report that Mr. Bout-
well has determined to adopt a new financial policy, whichwill unsettle the money market, put down gold, and cause a
rise in government bonds. What this policy might be, wasvariously reported. The most common report is, that hewill sell at once about one-third of the 80 millions of gold,
which is in the Treasury, the property of the government.
The premium will thus, it is argued, decline. An immedi-ate purchase of five-twenties is to follow, and is expected to
cause them to advance. The success of the new loan is bythis two-fold manoeuvre to be assured, for the obstacles
will be removed which now make the ten-forties and the
five-twenties more attractive to investors than the newfives. The rumor is wholly without confirmation, andits discredit ought to have been secured*by the fact that
such a piece of financial strategy would be suicidal. It
would be equally injurious to Mr. Boutwell's popularity,
and to his prospects for completing his proposed ne-
gotiations. The sudden and violent forces which It
would evoke for the alternate rise and fall of gold andforeign exchange would unsettle values, awaken eeneral
distrust and inflict severe losses on our oommerce and trade.
If the gold premium is to be violently put down, it will' be
apt to recoil as violently, and Mr. Boutwell's power^over
the market is limited by his available coin surplus, which
is the product of taxation, and ought to be sold for as high
a price as it is worth in the market, rather than to b« used
as a means of depressing values and throwing business into
confusion. In May, 1866, this expedient of controlling the
gold premium was tried for the last time ; for its failure pre-
vented Mr. McCulloch from ever venturing upon a repeti-
tion of such a cosily and futile experiment. If the success
of the funding scheme can be gained by no other means, the
people will elect to wait until a more auspicious time.
It awakens some surprise that the five-twenties should
have declined since the new loan was announced. But
stability is one of the elements of financial strength. Thegeneral effect on public confidence is always unfavorable for
a time when there is any unsettling of loans or any reor-
ganization and expensive refunding of outstanding bonds.
These movements are, however, only temporary. And they
have been in part due to the injudicious rumors put forth
that the five-twenties may, if not refunded, be paid in green-
backs at maturity. As our currency is rapidly advancing
to par, greenbacks may soon be worth their face in coin.
If hereafter, when the five-twenties shall be paid off, the
greenbacks are at par, who will be injured if the five-
twenties should be paid in greenbacks 1 And if our cur-
rency is not at par then, the law of 1866 forbids payment
otherwise than in coin. And this law, which was the first
act of Congress signed by President Grant, cannot be
repealed. Congress has no power over it, as it forms a
part of the contract between the Government and its
creditors, and to this contract the public faith is pledged.
The discussion of such a question, however, at this moment,
is unfortunate, and has had in the sensitive condition of the
public mind an unhappy tendency to disorganize and dUcourage the movements of the money market.
This is the more pronounced because of the approaching
drain of currency and of deposits for the first of April. This
is the period of one of those periodic depletions of the
money market which, under our inelastic currency system,
seldom fail to cause trouble. These drains occur quartorly
in England. Here they are more irregular ; but in each
case they originate in the necessity for making heavy pay-
ments at certain seasons in the country. The pecuniary
settlemenU of April are not very large, and the currency
they attract from this centre returns in a fortnight or three
weeks. After this we have no similar movement of any
importance till the fall. About the month of October the
grain crop r«<jui'"es *o be moved, and the currency thus
withdrawn irom us does not usually find its way back till
358 THE CHRONICLE. [M«rcli2i{,1871.
December. In this month the pork crop makes its claim
for funds which do not return till February, Meanwhile
the cotton crop demands its quota of rgoney from us in
November, December and January, and the funds seldom
return till April and May. When the influx of these funds
is early the April drain usually fiiils to produce much incon-
yenienoe. It was, however, with a view to avoid increasing
the trouble from this April drain that Mr. Hulburd has
called for, his quarterly report from the banks to be madeup for last Saturday.
, ) f. Xf p 'v ryy
Another reason why Mr. Boutwell's rumored new policy
has caused disquiet, is the dubious position of our foreign
exchange market in face of possible demands from our
transatlantic creditors. This is a contingency to which, as
a debtor nation, we are of necessity exposed, in presence of
extraordinary financial movements in Europe. How far
any apprehensions thus arising may be verified is uncer-
tain. Hence Mr. Boutwell will, it is hoped, lose no lime in
reassuring the public mind as to what he intends to do in
i<egard to the selling of gold.
The coin reserve in the Treasury has functions to perform
of the very highest concern to the public credit, to the va-
lidity of greenbacks, to the government securities, and to
the whole currency and credit system of the country. If
any new policy is to be adopted in the management of the
coin balance, therefore the people wish to be warned of it
in time.
IMMieRATION.
One of the most fruitful sources of the rapid material pro
gress of ^this country has long been recognized in the in-
creasing tide of immigration, which has, during the last hallf
century, brought no less than seven millions and a half of
emigrants of kindred races, who have left their foreign homes,
attracted by the certainty that with honest labor they could
better their condition by settling permanently amongus. It is impossible to compute in money the amount
these immigrants have added to the national wealth. But
those who are curious in such matters have made estimates,
founded on the capitalized value of unskilled labor as rep-
resented by the price of slaves before the war, As free
labor is certainly worth more than forced labor, and as one-
tenth ot the immigrants are workmen of more or less skill,
it has been argued that on a fair capitalization of earnings,
the average value added by each immigrant landing on our
shores must be at least 500 dollars. Taking this low aver
age [as a basis, it appears that the immigration movementadds every year to the national wealth a value averaging 190
million of dollars, and that since 1848 the immigration has
swelled the resources of the country] by 3,000 millions of
dollars, or more than the aggregate of the national debt,
with the debts of the various States and municipalities com-bined. This aspect of the immigration movement is sug-
gestive, but of course such calculations are conjectural, andoffer but one of the multitude of elements for estimating the
value of an orderly, law-abiding, skilful and ingenious popu-
lation, pouting itself yearly into a popular govern-
ment like ours, whose rich lands invite settlers, and whose
inrivalled climate, vast resources and free institutions, stimu-
late and give full scope to inventive, genius and industrial
energy. The influx of a million laborious, gopd citizens
added to a progressive civilization like ours, diffuses energy
throughout the whola boJv poi'itic, and gives a new efficiency
to all the productive forces Cf tii.°-country. For modern
economical science finds that to enlargt.' *°^ concentrate popu
lation, gives one of the essential conditiok'^'"''''^®™^'"®'^°^-
plete division of labor, and for the ealar^eiu'^"*^and combi-
nation of those stupendous forces which initfeast''"^'** ^"^^^
rapidity the wealth of nations. Well directed imm'^''*'°''
then does cot merely add a fixed capital of so many dead
miUioDs of dollars to our national resources, but it confers on
the country advantages of far higher worth in enlarging
the organization of labor and aooeierating the movements of
that productive machinery which is a permanent creator of
new sources of material prosperity. The following table
shows the extent of the immigration movement during the
past fifly-one years. By the courtesy of Mr. Young, of the
Statistical Bureau at Washington, we are enabled to present
the figures to ovr readerg ia adranoe of their official publi-
cation.

It hBa been anticipated that the finonoial troubles in' France
ooiwequent on the ravaijes of war and the burdens of now
taxation will cnuse a large emigration this way. Hereto-
fore the emigration morement from France has been
rather sluegish. The aggregate of French emigrants was
only 3,580 last year, and 4,118 In 1869. These were fair
average years, the numbers rising to 0,885 in 1866.
The French aggregate of emigration for 51 years was
245,812, against 100,372 from Prussia, 2,268,1 1 1 from the
rest of Germany, and 3,857,793 from Great Britain and
Ireland. In the census of 1860 it appeared that of the 27
millions of white population, 4,131,812 were of foreign
birth. Of these the Grermans numbered 1,301,136, the
Irish 1,611,304, the English 477,445, the Scote 108,518, and
the other Europeans 307^88. Of British Americans there
were 249,970.
One of the most interesting aspects of immigration is the
steady flow with which this efHux of the surplus population
sets this way in preference to Australia or other parts of
this continent. The preference was temporarily checked by
the war, but soon set in again with new force. This will be
evident from the subjoined table. The figures are derived
chiefly from the English ofHcial returns, and differ but little
from our figures. Tfiey give the number of native anJ
foreign emigrants who embarked from Great Britain during
the 55 years from 1815 to the end of 1869 at 6,756,097.
Of this toUl 4,270,597 came to this country, while 1,356,476
went to British North America, 971,358 to Australia andNew Zealand, and 152,266 to other parts. The subjoined
table shows the number and destination of emigrants fromthe various British ports. A comparison of the figures with
those of the previous table will show that a considerable
minority of these emigrants were not English subjects

It would much increase the value of Mr. Young's tables
of immigrants if he could give us their destinations as well
as their nativities. Hitherto there has been little attempt
to direct the stream of new immigrants into any special sec-
tion of the country. Of late, however, several schemes havebeen projected for this purpose. One of them was lately
before Congress, and failed because it was supposed to be in
the interest of land agents in certain regions, and contem-plated the offering of special facilities for certain routes anddestinations, and a difcrimination against very eligible parts
of the country. These allegations were never proved, webelieve ; and the bill will doubtless bo brought up again in
Congress next winter. Another movement of a more pri-
vate character has regard to the French emigrants, of whoma large number it is supposed will desire to leave Alsaceand Lorraine and some of the agricultural and vine-growingdistricts which have suffered by the war. Georgia, Virgi-
nia, North Carolina and some other States have been spokenof as the direction which this new organization wishes to
give to the French emigration. The raanufaoturing popu-lation, however, will probably prefer to emigrate, if at all,
to the Northern or Middle States, and as for the farmersand viniculturists, if they could only overcome their love ofhome, there are several of our Pacific States in which thou-sands of acres of the finest vine lands await industrious,frugal citizens to enter in and possess them. California, for
example, has an ate^ almost as grsal as the whole of the
French territory. Its climate, for more than a century, hai
proved its adaptation to the culture of the vine. Its foot-
hills rival in soil and equal in extent the best wine regions of
France. In Europe one good full crop, safely harvested in
five years, is said to be a fair average, but very rarely has
the crop been a fiiilure in California. " Xowhere," says a
practical vine-grower of much experience from Continental
Europe, "nowhere in France, the Netherlands, libenish
Prussia, Spain, Italy, or any other country, can be found
vines more noble and generous than in the young State on
the Pacific. Nor has she ever been equalled in the amount
of her vintage per acre, or the annual certainty of her crop."
We have been assured that there is no exaggeration here.
But in any case this part of our territory is so worthy to
attract the stream of expected emigration from France,
that we shall not be surprised if before long the far-sighted,
shrewd, successful managers of some of the Pacific Kail-
roads should take steps to promote a movement which
would introduce a new stimulus, and give a more intelligert
and useful direction to the emigration not only from France,
but from other European countries.
DEBT AND flSANCES OF GEORGIA.
In 1860 the debt of Georgia was $3,670,750, and the principal
was not materially increased from these Sguree till the year
1860. In that year it was increased by $134,000 Issued to the
Atlantic and Galf Railroad; $1,.')00,000 issued for repair* andequipments of the Western and Atlantic Railroad owned by .the
State;$100,000- in BubBtitution of a Bimilar amount of bonds
authorized the previous year; $600,000 for the payment of the
United States Land tax appropriation to Georgia ; and $8i)0,650
for the renewal of past due bonds, and the funding of coupons.
These' bonds were secured by a mortgage on tlie Western andAtlantic Railroad. The total debt, therefore, on October 15, 1866,
was $5,706,500. On the first of January, 1870, the total debt was$0,014,.'5OO, showing a very small increase from the figures of 1866as given above.During the year 1870 there was some increase of the direct
indebtednesi of the State by the issue of 7 per cent gold bonds,and a larger amount of contingent liability, by the endorsementof railroad bonds authorized by special acts of the last Legisla-ture. It is somewhat difficult to obtain full and satisfactory infor-
mation in regard to the financial affairs of the State on account ofthe open hostility which prevails between the Treasurer and theGovernor. The report of the former for the year ending Dec. 31,1870, is so manifestly a prejudiced document, as not to be fully
relied upon ; while on the other hand, it is undoubtedly true thatthe Legislature has not been governed by a spirit of economyand has authorized a very large amount of railroad endorsements,although upon terms which may not involve the State to anyconsiderable amount. The facts at the present time seem to bemainly as follows : That only $2,000,000 of bonds have beenissued since January 1, 1870, and those under the act of September15, 1870, which authorized the issue of seven per cent gold bondsfor the payment of bonds due or to become due and for other pur-poses, &c.
;$500,000 of which have been used for retiring other
bonds, thus making the actual increase only $1,500,000. and thetotal debt at present $7,.514,500 ; this is according to the state-
ment of Messrs. Henry Clews & Co., the bankers in New Yorkwho have acted as financial agents of the State and negotiatedthe new bonds. In addition to this amount of direct indebtednessa special act of the Legislature authorizes the State to issue its
own bonds to the extent of $8,000 per mile to the Brunswick andAlbany Railroad in exchange for the second mortgage bonds ofthe road, at the rate of $10,000 per mile, thus leaving the Statea margin of twenty percent on the exchange. The whole amountof this issue, when the road is completed, will bo $1,880,000.
RAILKOAD SHOORSEXRirTB.During the session of 1870 a large number of special acts
were passed, granting the aid of the State, in the shape of endorse-ments, to particular railroads by name, the several roads and theamount of endorsement granted to each, being stated in the Trea-surer's report as follows :

:

If the full amount of endorsements here authorized were made,and upon the the full length of all roads named, the Treasurerstates the whole amount would be about $30,000,000. The factis, however, that the State aid was granted upon such termsthat only a limited number of the companies have accepted theindorsements ; the financial agents state that many roads to whichState aid is granted have voluntarily surrendered the privilegesince, while the State grants aid only to the extent, in someinstances, of $10,000 to $12,000 per mile, thus restricting the first
mortgage issue, and companies find it to their advantage toincrease the amount of their first mortgage to $20,000 per mile,and surrender the State guarantee to enable them to do so.
In a telegram to Messrs. Clews & Co., dated March 16, theGovernor states that the total railroad endorsements to date amountto $5,923.000 ; of which $400,000 were made bv Governor Jen-kins
; $2,723,000 by Governor Bullock, prior to October 25, 1870,and certified by the Secretary of the Executive Department
;
$1,500,000 by the Treasurer, and $1,300,000 by Governor Bullocksince October 25, 1870, and certified by the Secretary of State. TheGovernor states ;
"All these roads pay their Interest promptly except the Alabama and Chat-tanooga Road—the January interest upon which was paid by the State. Noother roads except those in rapid process of constrnction and nearly com-pleted have made or are likely to make application for State endorsement. Nocompany is authorized under our laws to have State endorsement for more thanone-half the actual cost of the road, and the endorsement cannot be made untilthe road is completed in ten (10) or twenty (20) mile sectipns."
The following law passed in 1870, and approved September30, contains some terms and limitations in regard to railroadendorsements
:
Section 1 The General Assembly enacts as follows ; That from anfl after thepissa^e of this act, that neither his Excellency the Governor, nor any otherofBcer of this State, shall indorse the guaranty of the State upon the bonds ofany railroad to which this or any other Legislature of this State has loanedthe credit of the State, until an amount equal to the amount of bonds forwhich the guaranty or indorsement of the State is applied for, has in goodfaith been first invested, and actually paid in and expended by the owners orstockholders of the road, upon the bonds which the indorsement or guarantyis asked ; and the Governor shall in every case require satisfactory evidencethat such investment has been made.Section 2. Be it further enacted. That in the event any interest that has
accrued upon any bonds of any railroad company, indorsed by the State inpursuance of any law of this State, shall not be paid when said interest becomesdue, it shall be the duty of the Governor, upon information of such default byany person to whom snch interest may be due. to provide in such manner ashe may deem most to the interest of the State for the payment of, and to paysaid interest ; and it shall be his duty to seize and take possession of all theproperty of said railroad company and apply the earnings of the road to theextinguishment of said unpaid interest, and he may at his discretion sell theroad so in default, and its equipments and other property belonging to saidcompany, or any portion thereof, at public sale, in such manner and at suchtime as in his judgment may best subserve the interest of the State.
Sbction 3. Be it further enacted, That all laws and parts of laws militatingagainst this act are hereby repealed.
WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD.The Western and Atlantic Railroad, the property of the State,
has been leased to a highly responsible company, with abundantsecurity, for a term of twenty years, at the ratb of $25,000 permonth or $300,000 per year, the road to be returned to the Stateat the end of that period in as good condition as when leased.
REVENUE AND TAXATION.The assessed valuation of all property in the State, exclusive of
corporations, is stated by the Treasurer at $200,000,000, whichwould produce on a tax of 4 mills $800,000, and this with theamount received from poll tax, corporation tax, &c., say $75,000,and $300,000 income from the Western and Atlantic Railroad,would make a total revenue of $1,175,000, out of which $500,000ought to be sufficient to pay the ordinary State Governmentexpenses, leaving $675,000 balance to meet the interest on thedebt, amounting now to about $526,000 annually, exclusive ofany interest on endorsed railroad bonds. The receipts and dis-
bursements of the year ending Dec. 31, 1870, are given by theTreasurer as follows: Receipts, $1,635,767 57; Disbursements,$1,470,031 02 ; Cash on hand, Jan. 1, 1871, to balance, $165,744 65.
CONCLUSION.
The State of Georgia was known previous to the war as theEmpire State of the South, and exceeded all the others in theamount of her manufacturing interest, railroads and the generaldevelopment of her internal resources. The property of the Stateis unquestionably abundant to furnish means for meeting all herpositive liabilities by a reasonably moderate tax, and even shoulddefault be made by railroads whose bonds have been endorsed,the lien which the State holds npon those roads should beadequate when foreclosed to reimburse the State for all advancesmade by her.
DEBT AND FIMNCHS OF VIRGINI.4.
The debt of "Virginia was chiefly contracted for internal improve-ments, and a limited portion of it also for banks. At the close ofthe war the debt amouuted|to^aboat $41,000,000, including iuterest
accrued to that date, against which liabilities, the State held assetsof the nominal value of $22,700,000, a consicerable part of whichamount was in stocks and bonds having practically no value.Previous to the war the financial standing of Virginia was veryhigh and her credit excellent, as her debt, though large, had beenwell managed, and every liability for principal and interest hadbeen faithfully and promptly met.
Since the war the State has also been much more fortunate thanmost of the other Southern States, as her debt has not been in-
creased except by the accumulation of unpaid interest, and a pro-
vision of the State Constitution now prohibits the increase of debtexcept by a law to be submitted to a vote of the people. Onthe first of January, 1871, the debt, according to the Auditor'sreport, amounted to $47,390,839. The assets of the State at thesame time, either available, or which will in all probability beavailable in a few years for the reduction of State debt, amountedto about $13,000,000—assuming that the value of these assets hadnot materially changed since March, 1870, when an official state-
ment of them was made—thus making the actual liabilities of theState on the first of January, 1871, about $34,000,000.
DEBT JANUARY 1, 1871.The total amount of the debt, including interest, on the first
of January 1871, was $47,390,839 96. In this, the stocks andbonds of the State held by the Board of the Literary Fund,amounting to $1,543,669 95, are not included, nor certain Statebonds surrendered by railroad companies in exchange for a likeamount of their stock held by the State, amounting altogether to
about $840,000. The statement is as follows
:
Debts issued under acts prior to the 17thofJApril, 1861 $31,938,144 69Interest due and unpaid thereon 5,312,165 43Debt issued and that may be issued under the act of March the 2d,
1866, authorizing the funding of intereet 7,692.310 38Interest due and unpaid thereon 2,018,208 59Debt on old James River Company stock 95.000 00Interest due and unpaid thereon 19,800 00Debt on James River and Kanawha Company bonds 201,130 97Interest due and unpaid thereon 114,060 97
Amount of principal and Interest on the Ist of January, 1871 $47,390,839 96
ASSETS.The Governor, in his message of March 8, 1870, after reviewing
in detail the various assets held by the State, amounting nominallyto $33,963,276, remarks as follows:
"From this brief review of the assets and securities held bytheState.ltwill be observed that $2,612,776 37 are considered of equal or greater valuethan State bonds at present quotations, consisting of the following items, viz
:
Bonds Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad Comiiany... $50,862 40Bonds Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, with intereet, andincluding use of Blue Ridge Railroad 460,147 24
Bonds of Norfolk and Petersbur Railroad Co., with interest 141,271 82Bonds Orange, Alexandria and Manassas Railroad Company, with
interest 276,207 89Bonds Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, with interest .. 658,987 02Stock Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad Company 275,200 00Amount to be realized from claim vs. Chesaiieake and Ohio CanalCompany, less expenses, and claim vs. Selden, Withers & Co 750,000 00
$2,612,776 37
"It will also be observed that of the assets $10,048,267 91, it is hoped in a fewyears will be equal in value to State bonds, and will be available for the re-
demotion of the State debt, as follows
;
Stock Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company $2,013,987 60Stock Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad Company 1,199,970 00Stock Orange, Alexandria and Manassas Railroad Company 874,000 00Stock Richmond and Danville Railroad Company 1,188.598 60Stock Richmond and Petersburg Railroad Company 385,600 00Stock South Side Railroad Company 803,500 OOStock Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Company 2.500,000 00Stock Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad Company 202,611 91
Bonds South Side Railroad Company, Incladlne interest 1,080,000 00
$10,048,267 91Deducting the amount of solvent assets which are immediately available for
the redemption of the State debt, viz : $2,612,776 37. together with those whichit is hoped and believed will become available for that purpose in a few years,viz: $10,048,267 HI, from the gross amount of assets first above mentioned,leaves a balance of $21,302,233 62, which is not now and probably never will
become of much value to the State. But, in addition to this large amount, theState has lost, abandoned, or surrendered and released $9,739,092 88, which,added to the amount above stated as comparatively value less,makes the enor-mous sum of $31,011,326 50, or nearly the amount of the old State debt."
Subsequent events have been such as to confirm the views hereexpressed, and it seems probable from the action recently taken byseveral prominentrailroad companies for the purchase of their
stock held by the State and the payment for the same in Virginia
bonds at par, that the amount liltimately realized from the assets
above named will fully equal the sum estimated by the Governor,
viz.: $12,661,043.
SETTLEMENT WITH WEST VIRGINIA.
The State of West Virginia has never yet assumed any portion
of the debt of the old State, although her conatitution provides
that an adjustment of the same should be made. We understand
that CommissionerB have now been appointed by both States andit is to be hoped that an amicable settlement will be made of the
question in controversy between them. Should the Commissioners
ultimately fail to agree, resort may be had to the Supreme Court
of the United States.
FUNDING THE DEBT AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST.Governor Walker has repeatedly urged upon'the Legislature the
necessity of^unding the whole debt and commencing the paymentof interest at the earliest day practicable. In accordiance with
his suggestions a funding bill has been introduced and is nowpending in the Virginia Legislature which will probably be passed
at the present session. The general provisions of this bill are
:
1. That the holders of all bonds, stocks, &c., of the State, except
the five per cent, dollar bonds and what are known as sterling
bonds, may fund two-thirds of the amount of the same, together
with two-thirds of the interest due or to become due to July 1,
1871, in six per cent, coupon, or registered bonds payable thirty
four years after date, or at the pleasure of the SlAte after ten

RBTXKUB VALUATION AMD TAXATION.
The Auditor of the State has prepared a statement showing the
value of real and personal property subject to tnxation in the State,
the eatimated amount that will bu rai8t.-d by taxation from licenses
and all other sources, upon the basis of the Tax Bill of 1870,together with an estimate of the amount that will be requiredfor the support of the (iovernmont for the next fiscal year, andthe amount that will bo required to pay tliu iuturrat on the publicdebt for one year, from,which we make the following extracts

BBCEIFTB AHD DI8BUR8EMENT8 FOR LAST TEAK.
The receipts and disbursements iu tho fiscal year ending Sep-tember 30, 1870, were: Receipts, $1,6S0,043; Disbursements,$1,504,931. These receipts were still under tho old valuation andlaws, and the effect of the new system of taxation put in forceat the last session can not here be seen. The new assessmentof real property has only recently been completed.
OOKCLUBION.
From this review of the State finances, it would appear thatthere is no Southern State in which the prospect of an ultimatesettlemeut of all liabilities, both principal and interest, is betterthan in Virginia.
An illustrious exception, compared with other States, is seenhere, in regard to the non-increase of debt since he war, a featurewhich will inspire great confidence in her creditors that the spirit
of the legislature and people is one of integrity, and that theyintend to pay us soon as a better organization of their Governmentwill enable them to collect the required revenue.

[From oar own correspondent.]
London, Saturday, March 11.
There has been an interesting debate in the House of Commonsthat met on the question of the National Debt. It was brought
on by Mr. Candlish, the member for Sunderland, by calling atten
tion to the expediency of making early provision in the estimates
for reducing the debt annually not less than £10,000,000. During
the last 40 years he argued, we have literally done nothing in
the way of paying off the debt. On the accession of William the
Fourth in 1830, it amounted to £784,000,000 ; on the accession of
the preaent sovereign, to £787,000,000, and it was now £801.000,000.
Between 1832 and 1868, the debt had apparently been increased by
£27,000,000, but if the discharge of certain terminable annuities
were taken into accoimt, the debt would be about the same as it
was 36 years ago. It was further contended that we were able to
carry out what our fathers had accomplished. Between 1816 and
1820, our fathers paid for interest £81,500,000 and as principal
£5,100,000—making a total of £36,600,000. Between 1820 and
1830 the average annual payment was £29,440,000 as interest and
£4,800,000 as priacipal—making a total of £33,740,000 per annum.
Yet in 1870 we only paid for interest and on account of termin-
able annuities £27,000,000 and as principal £4,000,000. Now, while
we had been thus diminishing our payments on account of the
National Debt, the population of the country had been increasing.
Our population was 18,000,000 in 1811, 21,000,000 in 1821, 24,000.-
000 in 1831, 27,000,000 in 1841, 29,000,000 in 1861, and last year It
was estimated at 30,830,000. During all this period the wealth of
the nation had likewise gone on increasing. According to ee-
timates made by Professor Levi the wealth of the country in 1811
was £3,100,000,000, or £118 per head of the population ; in 1841,
£4,000,000,000, or £150 per head ; in 1861, £6,000,000,000, or £206
per head ; and in 1870, £7,000,000,000, or £230 per head. With
increase of capital we had become richer relatively to our debt
and it had become less relatively to our means. In 1801 our debt
was 26 per cent, of our capital; in 1841 it was 19 percent.; in
1861, 13i per cent. ; and now, our capital being 7,000 millions and
our debt 800 millions, it was only 11 per cent, of our capital. Re-
latively to the population our debt in 1821 was £39 10s. per head;
in 1831, £33 lOs. ; in 1870, £.J5 lOs. As our property had In-
creased our annual income had increased from £14 7s. per head In
1801 to £23 per head in 1870 ; and now our total income in one
year was very nearly equal to our National Debt. Of course, as
we had got richer we had been living better ; and this was shown
by the increased consumption per head of sugar, tea, tobacco and
wine, which might be regarded as luxtiries rather than necer
saries. Simultaneously, we bad been diminishing onr contribu-
tions to the National debt. For Interest alone we paid per head,
in 1831, 29b.; in 1831, 33s.: and in 1870, 17s. 6d. While the
amount of interest paid liad been diminishing, and while our
means had been increasing, we had been reducing taxation, which
was from 1811 to 1821, £8 14s. per head, and in 1870 £i 6<. p«head, being now, he believed, under £2 per head. The propar.
tions of annual income which we paid for intereat had been, in
1801, 8S per cent ; in 1841, »i per cent, and in 1870, 8.8a per cent.
Five per cent of our income, or U per cent less than we paid for
I
intereat alone in 1841, would realize £84.000.000 a year, and that
i would be sufficient to pay oflf the debt In forty yeaza.
362 THE CHRONICLE. [March 25, 1871.
This proposal was seconded by Sir Jolin Lubbock, who observed
that moBt European nations had immensely increased their debts
during the last fifty years. Thus, North Germany in 1815 owed
£100,000.000, in 1870, £150,000,000 ;France in 1815 owed £70,000,-
000, in 1870, £518,000,000; Austria in 1815 owed £99,000,000, in
1870, £300,000,000; Russia in 1815 owed £80,000,000, in 1870,
£300,000,000 ; Spain in 1815 owed £100,000,000, in 1870, 325,000,-
000 ; Italy in 1815 owed £50.000,000, in 1870, £257,000,000, and
the United States in 1815 owed £35,000,000, and in 1870 £477,000,-
000 ; making a total of £524,000,000 in 1815 and £2,237,000,000 in
1870 ; and if they included other countries the grand total,
according to Mr. Dudley Baxter, was no less than £3,845,000,000
in 1870, against £1,530,000,000 in 1815, showing an increase of no
less than £3,300,000,000, of which the great part had been incurred
during the last twenty years. He was in favor of insolated taxa-
tion, and argued that a wealthy country like this ought not to be
satisfied with accidental surpluses for the redjiction of its debt.
Several other members addressed the House, when the Chancellor
of the Exchequer rose and said if he ventured to criticise the
speech of the lionorable member for Sunderland, he should say
that he felt more certain of the general conclusion at which he
arrived than he did of many of the premisses by which he sup-
ported it, for he did not place the most implicit confidence in all
those estimates by which he calculated to a million the income
and property of the country. He disputed some of the figures
and estimates which had been furnished to the House. Heventured to point out that the time of the peace (1815) our debt,
instead of being £800,000,000 was nearly £900,000,000. Since that
time we have added £80,000.000 to it—£30,000,008 for the emancipa-
tion of the slaves, £30,000,000 for the Crimean war, £10,000,000 for
the Irish loan, and £19,000,000 for the Abyssinian war. The funded
debt is now £738,000,000, and the unfunded £4,000,000. The ter-
minable annuities, estimated at 11 years' purchase, amount to £50,-
000,000, making a total of £793,000,000. It follows, therefore,
that since the close of the war, and adding the £80,000,000 referred
to, the debt has been reduced from £980,000,000 to £793,000,000,
or to the extent of nearly £200,000,000. It is not fair, therefore,
to accuse those who have gone before us of having done nothing
for the reduction of the debt. In the course of this financial year
also we have paid off nearly £6,000,000. Mr. Lowe, however,
agreed with Mr. Candlish and Sir John Lubbock on the expe-
diency of reducing the debt, but when the hon. member for Sun-
derland stated that it was the duty of the Government to place
£10,000,000 a year on the estimates for that purpose, he stopped
short of the difficult task of demonstrating how that amount was
to be raised. Nor was he much moved by the example of Amer.
ica. It was certainly not .the duty of the Finance Minister of this
country to indulge in criticisms on the finance of pur neighbors,
but he ventured to submit to those who are struck with the bold-
ness and vigor of American finances that it may be a question
whether it would not have been wiser for the Americans first to
restore the metallic basis, and then endeavor to lower the interest
on the debt. Mr. Lowe concluded by observing that
—
My hon. friend said, also, wc lost the opportunity—if I understood him—ofBhowlng that energy that would be displayed by having a Parliamentary fightover the question every session. That, sir, is quite true ; but I am quite surethat he is too good a political economist not to know that energy is not a goodthing in itself, but only good when you cannot get a good thing without it
Bo, my hon. friend the member for Sunderland also thought we might lose themoral effect of a great effort and noble spectacle in paying off all our debtsNo doubt it is a very fine thing to give a great moral spectacle. When peopleget into distress and misery they nave the opportunity of showing a greatmoral spectacle, and the results no doubt are great. But, for my own part. Iprefer giving no such spectacle, simply because the calamities wnich give theopportunity of developing those high qualities "lo not exist. I shall continueto think we do not unwisely by paying off our debt in a moderate way by ter-minable annuities. The truth is, that of all economical and financial authori-ties the worst are those who, ignoring the existence of any alternative, striveto make out a splendid case for themselves ; but it appears to me that the rightmanagement of financial affairs consists not in this adoption of a certain ar-ticular theory or view, but of that sort of tolerant moderation that tries toaccommodate them all, carrying none to any excess or violent extremes I amtherefore, in moderation, for the reduction of taxes ; I am, in moderation forthe reduction of debt. The problem of the reduction of debt is really ttiis—how to get into the hands of the Grovernment a large quantity of stock whichthey can cancel and pay off. That may be done in various ways and if mvhon. friend the member for Sunderland content with the discussion he hasraised, will give me his confidence for about six weeks longer, I will undertaketo show him, when the proper time arrives, that I have had the opportunity of
" ng some slight impression on the debt of the country.
The prospectus of the United States loan has been advertised
this week. Messrs. Baring Brothers, Clews, Habicht & Co., JayCooke, McCulloch & Co., J. S. Morgan & Co., Morton, Rose & Co.and Messrs. Rothschild, are authorized to receive subscriptions!The introduction of this loan is considered to be quite premature.The quotation is li to IJ discount.
Messrs. Rothschild & Son have introduced this week the newRussian loan of £12,000,000. The price of issue is 81i, and thebonds wUl bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum.Th«re has been a great deal of excitement in the Stock Exchange
in connection with this loan, and the first operation on the ap-
pearance of it was a wholesale destruction of the prospectuses.
Any attempt to deal in the scrip proved fruitless, and so greatly
was the loan discouraged that the impression became general that
that it would be withdrawn. The contractors, however, have not
adopted that course, and it is now probable that the subscription
list will remain open until the date fixed in the prospectus. Thecank of all this indigestion is traceable, as a matter of course,
to the act of Russia in withdrawing from an important clause in
the Treaty of Paris, without submitting the grievance under
which she alleged she suffered to the co-signataries. The loan,
however, is offered at the principal German markets, and will, in
all probabihty, be fully subscribed.
The money market has been quieter, and the rates of discount
are somewhat easier. Both for short and long, dated bills, the

Vnlon Pacific Iiand Bondn.—The action of Congress in re-
voking the decision of the Secretary of the Treasury in referenceto withholding one-half of the Government bills for transporta-tion, due the Pacific Railroads, has naturally placed the companiesin a much better financial position. The Union Pacific Securitiesare being more critically examined and their real advantages for
investment at present rates, more fully inquired into. That theattitude of the Secretary of the Treasury should have had a de-pressing effect, was inevitable, but now that Congress has revokedthat judgment, there is no further cause of apprehension, on thisscale. The Union Pacific Land Grant Bonds are among the mostattractive securities now offered, on account of the great interest
which attaches to the road as a National enterprise, and the securityfurnished by the lands of the Company upon which the bonds areissued. These bonds are now being received by the Company at
par and interest, in exchange for their lands and many actual set-
tlers are adoping this mode of negotiation. This proffered exchangeevinces'the Company's confidence in their rapid appreciation, andthey claim that they should and will soon rule at 90 in the market,irom the fact that they pay an interest of 8 per cent, per annumon tha' figure, while the stability and safety of the securities aredeemed unquestioned. The cost of mail and other transportationto the Government, prior to the opening of tliis road to the Pacific
coast, was three-quarters of a million dollars per month. Thisenormous expenditure has been diminished by the Pacific roadsso that not less than fifty thousand dollars per week is now beingsaved to the tax paying p -ople of the nation. Such facts as these,furnished from the records at Washington, evince both the valueand necessity of their successful progress and development.

THE FIRST MORTGAGE SIX PER CENT. GOLD BONDSOF THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY—of which about $6,000,000 have already been marketed—ar»
secured upon an East and West Trunk Line of Road 437 miles in
length, the greater part of which (237 miles) is in earning opera-
tion, and the remainder rapidly building. When completed it will
establish a short, economical, and favorite route between tide-
water navigation and the chief railroad and river cities of the
West.
Besides the immense volume ot through traffic between the East
and West which this road can command by its unapproachable
advantages in distance, grades, fuel, and unfailing navigable con-
nections, this road must convey enormous q.iautities of the supe-
rior splint, cannal, and bituminous coals of the Kanawha Valley
and the iron ores of Virginia and West Virginia, which are in
demand at both ends of the line.
The value of the property, the certainty of a large and profitable
business, the established reputation and credit of the Company,and its able and honorable management, give to these securities
an assurance of superior value and safety.
They may be had in Coupon or Registered form, and in denomi-
nations of
$1,000, $500 and $100.
We have prepared pamphlets, showing the agricultural, mine*ral and manufacturing advantages of the adjacent territory, and
the traffic, facilities, and financial prospects of the Road, whichwill be furnished on application.

DNION PACIFIC LAND-GBANT BONDS.
Ommi OF Morton, Buea & Co., Biiniiite. i
Nirw ToBK, March SO, 1871. f
The undersigned oITer for sale the balance of the Land-Grant Bonds of the
Cnlon Pacific Railroad Company. The road baa 1 een in operation aboat
twenty months. It Is completed in all respect*, and its earnings have aver-
aged $8,000,000 per annum. These bonda bear 7 per cent interest, couponspayat>le April and October.
They are receivable at par In payment for the Company's lands.
The following siunmary of the financial condition of tho Company Is fromthe address of Colonel Thomas A. Scott to the stockholders, npon his accept-
ing the ptesideucy, at the annual meeting In Boston, March 8
:
" Land Department.—Bonds, 7 per cent currency, (10,400,000.
" Land Sale*.—29S,I)00 acres;proceeds, $1,806,666 ; avenge price per acre
$4 48.
On aceonnt of these sales the company has received and redeemedland-grant bonds to the extent of $786,000
For the remainder the Companv holds land-notes maturing In one,two and three years wlui accruing interest 576,680
ToUl $1,813,650" The condition of the land department may, therefore, be itated thus
:
Bonds... $10,400,000
Principal reduced by bonds redeemed $788,000Land Note* on band 576,660
Showing an absolute reduction $1,818,660The Company la entitled, under the grants from Qovemment,
after deuncting total lands preempted before passage oftheactto 1»,080,000 acree.
From which deduct the amount heretofore sold. 1M,883 acre*.
Leaving on band as an asset 11,787,117 acres.
—which at an average value of tMo dollars per acre, being twenty per cent
below the minimum OoTcmment price for adjoining Unds owned by it, should
yield the gross sum of $S3,574,334, so much thereof as may be required to beapplied to the payment on redemption of the land-grant bonds, and the bal-
ance to go Into the Treunry. The average land salea amount to about $76,000per month.
Prom present indlcaliona it wonld seem reasonable to eatimate thegross r.eti ts nf tli coming year at a minimum of $9,000,000
With a eobt of maliiiaining and operating the line on thla increasedeanihii; of nut exceeding say 4,600,000
Leaving as net receipts to tie applied to interest ^nd dlTldend, ex-cloalve of the operations of the land department 4,600,000
"The operations of the line for the first twenty months of iu existence asa completed road show net earnings solBclent to meet the interest upon its
entire bonded debt.
" This result cannot but be deemed, by all practically vsrsed In the hl»toryof new railway lines, as indicating a suoccssful future. The yearly increaseof trafflc^ costing but little additional to transport, and tlierefore yielding alarge percentage of net revenne, must soon give a value to your property notaadily appreciated at pnuent

that the customary demand for money at the opening of >prinB
buslnesa miKht produca somn liBhtneBS in the market, aince the
banks are nlrcady.well expihtwi .in their loans nnd discounts.
The call madeby the (.'omptroller of the Currency for the state-
ment of the nationiil bankti, »ho>v<ng their condition at the cloee
of business on the 18th inst., ha."! removed on- element of uncer-
tainty, and will enable the banks to use their funds freely.
For the purposes of stock operations the demand has hardly
been equal to that of the two previous weeks, as the general
stock market has not been as active, and the larjte transactions
have been chiefly limited to a few specialties. Some of the
largest operators have also made time contracts extendinjr over
thirty or sixty days, to provide against the possibilities of stringent
money. Time loans have been made at 6 per cent for thirty
days and 7 per cent, for sixty ("lays on approved collateral :the
banks, however, are generally averse to making time engage-
ments.The bank statement of Saturday last showed a material decrease
in the legal-tender reserve, and an Increase in liabilities ;the
loans also were increased $3,223,010, the other changes beinz as
follows: Specie, $1,105,431 decrease, circulation $49,850 decreasQ,
deposits $1,021,059 increase, and legal tenders $1,432,239 decrease.
The net result of this statement showed the banks to be $2,770,-
471 weaker in their excess over the 25 per cent legal requiiement,
the whole of that excess being $12,649,676.
The following statement shows the present condition of the
associated banks, compared with tbe same date in the last two years :

For first-class commeircial paper the demand has continued
good, and rates are not qnotably changed, although the tendenCT
has been towards firmer prices. Banks are not as ready pur-
chasers as they were a few weeks ago, on account of tho several
influences bearing upon the money market, as noticed above ; they
ar" not disposed to discount paper lower than 7 per cent, and as
the best names can be negotiated with outside parties at 6<g6i,

Dnlted State* Bonds.—Government securities have been dull»
as a general rule, throughout the week, and 5-20s of 1867 close
to-day at llOi, against 111 last week ; 10408 at 108i, against 109.
There has been very little speculative interest in the market, andthe attention of dealers has been largely occupied in discussing
tbe prospects of the new loan, and the probable operations of Mr.Bontwell in regard to the purchase of bonds and sale of gold in
April. Subscriptions to the loan may now perhaps amount to
$25,000,000, but it has been rumored, and is believed by many of our
leading bankers, that Secretary Boutwell will take extraordinary
measures to stimulate subscriptions in April, either by selling avery large amount of gold, and purchasing a like amount of
bonds, or by giving notice of the redemption of a certain amountof 5 2()s in gold, at the expiration of three months. 'I he probable
amount of these transactions on the part of the Secretary havebeen variously estimated, some parties placing their figures as
high as $100,000,000, but without any apparent basis for their
suppositions; Indeed the whole disrussion in regard to the
April programme of the government, although it has been the en-
grossing theme of the market, appears to have been carried onwithout any definite intimation of the courae which will actually
be pursued. It is stated, witli much show of probability, that
tliere is a party largely interested in bonds and short ol gold,
who are endeavoring to get Mr. Bontwell to carry out the plan
indicated above, and which they are now deeply interested in, andurge npon the Secretary that such a course is the oni- mostclearly prompted by patriotic motives. It is quite possible, how-ever, "that Mr. Boutwell may disappoint those who have been
speculating upon his iirolMible action, by not pursuing any of
the several courses which have been laid out for him.
In regard to paying ofi°5-20'8 in trold, it has been claimed that
the public credit act of March 18, 1869, would prevent that from
being done until greenbacks are at par in gold, or unt 1 the newloan can be negotiated at par in gold ; the text ot the act is as lol-
lows: "But none of the said interest bearing obligations not
already due shall be redeemed or paid before maturity, unleaa at
iuch time as United States notes Sliall be convertible into coin at
tha option of the bolder, or tinleM at loch tima ai bonda of the
366 THE CHRONICLE. [March 25, 1871.
Unltod States bearing a lower rate of interest than~tlie'' bonds"to
be redeemed can be sold at par in coin." How far the action of
the Secretary will be impeded by this law, it does not appear, and
the subject will be of greater interest when his plans for April
have been annoanced.Much criticism has been made by some of the leading bankers
in London, upon the manner in which the loan was placed uponthe foreign markets, and from the comments of experienced finan-
ciers both at home and abroad, there seems to be reason for think-
ing that too little attention has, from the first, been given to thebusiness details for introducing the bonds, as these details require
to be arranged with ttie utmost care and forethought, even in
case of the most attractive loans. At the Treasury purchase of
$2,000,000 on Wednesday, bids amounted to $8,004,900, and hada depressing effect upon prices.
The following were the highest and lowest prices of leadinggovernment securities at the Board on each day of the past week .

Railroad and niscellaneons Stocks.—The Stock markethas, upon the whole, been less active with the heavier transactionsgenerally limited to specialties. Prices have, with a few exceptions, been well maintained and in some cases largely advanced,the most conspicuous rise being noticed in Northwest Commonand St. Paul Common, the former closing to-day at 85f and thelatter at 60J. The principal weakness among the speculativestocks was shown in Union Pacific, which closed to-day at 23^
;
Ohio and Mississippi has also been weak and closed at 46i, areaction from the high prices to which the stock has recently beenrun up on its prospective value as the connecting line betweenCincinnati and St. Louis, for several of the prominent routes be-tween the seaboard and the former city.
Stocks are now held in large blocks by the cliques which wereformed early in the year to advance prices, and will probably beunloaded gradually upon the market as the stock can be taken byoutsiders without depressing prices. It is said that a considerableamount of stock from the country has already been thrown uponthe street, which has been taken by the combinations to preventany break in prices. A feature of this week's business has beenthe increased demand for the dividend paying shares, the North-west stocks being bow considered as belonging to this class, andalso Milwaukee and St. Paul Preferred. Coal stocks have beenvery firm and more active. Express stocks and the miscellaneouslist comparatively dull with a downward tendency.The following were the highest and lowest prices of the active
list ofrailroad and miscellaneous stocks on each day of the last week.

State and RaUroad Bond«.-Southem State bonds have beentolerably active at prices generally well maintained. Virginiashave advanced, the new bonds touching 70f and the old bonds68i. with some reaction afterwards. The funding bill before theVirginia Legislature has passed one house, and is confidentlyexpected to pass the other house and become a law within a fewdays. South Carolina bonds have declined on the reports ofiwlitical disturbances in the State. North Carolrnas special taxare also lower. Pacific Railroad bonds have been a trifle lessfirm, without any apparent cause, and close as follows : CentralPadficB 96t(?i95i ; Union Pacifies 83@83J ; Land Grants 74JKa75Incomes 68i@69. The gross earnings of theUnion Pacific in Feb-niary were $373,924, and net income $136,457. The CentralPacific gross earnings were about $495,000.
The Stock Exchange Committee has this week admitted to thecall the bonds of the Nashville and Decatur Railroad, and the•ecuriues of the Atlantic and Pacific RaUroad. — —

The Gold Market.—The general tone of the gold market haibeen " bearish," and the speculative interest on that side has beenconsiderably increased. The chief topic of discussion in the market has been the probable action of Government in regard to its
sales of gold in April, and under the impression that Mr. Bout-well may throw a very large amount upon the market, the shortinterest above referred to lias been created. Less important influ-
ences have also had a certain effect, as for instance the increase ofbullion in the Bank of England, the disturbed condition of affairs
in France depressing the prospects of the French loan, and theslightly easier rates of exchange here for to-morrow's steamer.
On the other hand, the large demand for customs and the prospectof further exports, together with the short interest, have been thechief supports of the market.
It is possible that if the Treasury programme for April shouldbe materially different from what it is expected to be by the par-
ties operating for a decline, the effect produced might be a sharpupward turn, as the " shorts " would come in as purchasers to
cover their contracts. Shipments this week will probably beabout $650,000, of which $450,000 will probably be shipped to-
morrow. At the Treasury sale of $2,000,000 on Thursday thebids amounted to $5,960,000. Customs receipts for the weekamount to $3,838,000.

Foreign Excbange,—Rates have fluctuated slightly duringthe week, and close about the same as last Friday. During thefirst few days there was much firmness shown, and all the lead-
ing drawers were on Tuesday asking 110 less the usual commis-sion ; since that, however, rates have been easier, and best bank-ers 60 day sterling was quoted to-day at 109|, and short sight llOJ.There has been a comparatively small business, as the high
rates have the usual effect of checking such purchases as can bepostponed till a future day. The bankers most intimately con-
nected with the South report a smaller amount of cotton exchangemaking in that section during the past few days, and anticipate
no supply of cotton bills sufficient to make rates easier. Theshipments of specie have not been very large, and will probablynot exceed $600,000 for the week, including the shipments of to-
morrow.Exports of cotton from all ports amount to 97,032 bales, pro-
ducing $6,040,242 in gold, against 73,562 bales in the same weekof 1870 producing then $6,397,065 gold, with Middling Uplandsat 23c., and gold at 112.

The cost to yonr company of the eighty miles of railway ac-
qnired, as above stated, will not exceed the estimate of (15,000per mile, made at the time the question of its acquisition was sub-mitted to the stockholders for their approval. The present statfof that account with the road In operation, but not in all respectsfully completed, shows the cost to be |1,108,747 26, or $18,859 34per mile.
The operation of the Jacksonville Division during the past year,sbowt< in direct returns from traffic, as well as in many otherways, the great advantage of controlling that line nnder the ex-isting lease.
The operating ixpenses upon yonr lines for the year (exclusiveof taxes), amount to 54.11 per cent, of gross receipts ; includini;taxes, 57'4 per cent. In 1809 the operating expenses were 64'63and 5717 per cent, respectively.
The number of passengers carried daring the year was 782,581,being an increase of only 978 over the preceding year ; 04 3 percent, of the number of passengers were local, only ,'5-7 passing the•ntixe distanoe between Chicago and St. Louis.

Increase in 1870 $953,84
The operating expenses of the road have been about 73 per cent
of the gross earnings, an increase of 11 per cent over the preceding
year.In view of the completion of the road to Denver, the prospective
growth of trade with Colorado and the Pacific coast, the active
settlement being made on the lands along and tributary to theroad, and the assurance of a cheap and abundant supply of goodfuel, we believe that with economical management, the operatingexpenses of the road will not hereafter exceed 60 per cent, of thegross earnings. The earnings in 1870 exceeded the estimate madeIn the annual report, published at the beginning of the year, byover $300,000, and we are satisfied that the estimate then made of$4,00u,000 of gross earnings for 1871 will be fully realized. Weestimat"! the tiet earnings from the transportation department for1871 at $1,600,0000.The total land grant of the company aggregates about 6 000,000
acres, of which about 5,300,000 acres were unsold December 81,1870.
3,000,000 acres, lying between the 380th mile post and Denver,are included in the mortgage for $6,500,000, dated June 20, 1869,known as the " Denver Extension Mortgage," and the remainderof the lands unsold July 1st, 1870, are covered by the land grantmortgage of that date for $2,000,000.
1,503.565 acres of these lands have been appraised and placed inthe market at an average price of $3 10 per acre.The total sales of lands and lots in 1870 were 124,163 acres for
$389,105 68 or an average of $3 13 per acre. Cash collectionsfrom land sales during 1870 were $317,520 31, and bills receivableoutstanding December 81st $1,120,905 86.By the terms of the mortgage of July 1st, 1870, the proceeds of
all sales of lands made after that date are placed in the hands ofthe trustees for the purchase and redemption of the bonds issuedthereunder. Sales oi lots and lands under this trust from JulyIst to December 31st, aggregate 27,246 acres and 139 town lots, for
the gross sum of $111,234 16, of which $41,472 86 was cash, and$69,761 30 was bills receivable. The 2,000,000 acres of land cov-ered by this trust, estimating from sales already made, and theappraisements placed upon the unsold tracts, will probably yieldto the company, after the payment of the $2,000,000 of bondsissued theieon, a net amount of from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000,which will in time inure to the capital stock. A portion of the3,000,000 acres of land, chiefly in Colorado, which are included in
the mortgage of June 20th, 1869, for $6,500,000, have been ap-
praised and placed in the market, and it is believed that fromthese lands a sum will ultimately be realized sufficient to take upthe bonds long before maturity.*

874 THE CHRONICLE. . [March 25, 1871.
COMMERCIAL EPITOME.Friday Nioht, March 34, 1871.
General trade the past week has been only fair. There
appears to have been some over-trading in January and Feb-
ruary, for it would appear that of many staples, dealers still
have an ample stock, and the recent reduction in railway
freights has not been attended with the improved busines*
that was expected. The civil disorders in Paris have had the
effect to check the export movement in our great domestic
staples, and th's is a peculiarly disappointing circumstanc3.
Cotton, after some fluctuations, closes unchanged—Mid-
dling TJplands, 15^c. Breadstuffs have been unsettled, and
close weak ; Flour, 86 60@6 75 for shipping extras ; "Wheat,
$1 57@1 61 for new Spring; and Corn 84c. for prime new
mixed. Groceries have been quiet, except Sugars, which are
strong at 8f{g9^c. for fair to good refining,
In Provisions we have to note a marked decline for
hog products, with a dull closin:^. New Mess Pork, $21@21 12^; Prime Mess, $20 ; Prime Steam Lard, I2|@13c.;
and Short clear Bacon, lie. Statistics for the packing sea-
son show that 3,015,110 hogs have been slaughtered the past
season, against 2,592,301 hogs for the previous season, but
taking the greater weight into the account, the increiise is fully
sixty per cent. Beef has remained steady, but Cheese and
Butter have shown weakness mainly from a desire to clear off
old stocks.
Naval Stores and Petroleum have been decidedly more
active in the past day or two. Strained Rosin advanced to
$2 65, but refined Petroleum declined to 23^@24c. for im-
mediate and early delivery at t!)is market. Oils have been
without new feature.
Tobacco has been dull and prices close a little weak,
especially for Kentucky Leaf, of which stocks accumulate.
The sales of the week are about 500 hhds. almost equally
divided, shippers anJ home trade. Buyers hold off and it is
probable that with careful scrutiny, orders might be executed
at some concession from last week. At the same time, vihh
an easy money market, there is not much pressure to sell.
Quotations are 6@6^o. for Lugs and 7@9c. for common to
good Leaf. Seed Leaf Tobacco has moved off freely
but prices are almost invariably kept private es-
pecially for new crop, and we cannot afford a very
clear idea of the state of the market. The sales have been
325 cases old crop Connecticut in five dift'rireut parcels, all on
private terms ; 152 cases new crop Ohio en private terms,
SOO cases new crop Peni;sylvania on private terms, and 100
cases old Connecticut and Massachusetts wrappers at [email protected] tobacco has been in fair request, with sales of 42
bales new crop Yara to arrive, on private terms, and 600
bales Havana at 85@100c. Manufactured Tobaccj is steady.
Hides have been fairly active and firm. Leather in
steady demand. There was a large export movement in
Tallow to day at 8l@9c, mostly the higher figure for prime.Hops have been doinaf better for the finer sorts. Whiskeyhas ruled weak under large receipts. Fruits have been dull.
Cloverseod h^is declined. East India goods have been with-
out important feature. M-tals are dull. Wool rules very
firm. Domestic fleece and pulled are quite scarce, and the
business has been principiUy in California common andmedium qualities at 23i@27c.
Freights have been more active in the shipment of grainto Great Britain, and rates have slightly improved, closing
to-day at 5^@0d by sail and steam to Liverpool, but cotton
rates are lower at ^iSo-16d by steam, with the same rate bysail. The shipments of Breadstuffs and Provisions to theContinent appear to have almost entirely ceased. Cottoncharters have been active, and general business very fair, butthere are a large number of vessels in port seeking employ-oiant.

There has been a fair business doing tbe past week. For the
first two days prices were heavy and lower on all grades. Mid-dling Uplands closing Monday night at 14ic., and Ordinary at
lie, against ll^c. for Ordinary, and 15ic. for JSliddlings on Fri-
day. At this point, however, tliero was a reaction. On Tue8<lay
the Liverpool quotations becoming firmer, and tlie market moraactive, prices here, in sympathy with this improved tone, werestronger, and for the better grades, which are in comparativelylight supply, an advance of ic. was established. Wednesday,Liverpool was ^d. higher, the official quotation being 7|@7l4l.,against 7i'37|d., the previous day ; thereupon our market took afurther step forward, closing that day at 15id. for Middling Up-lands, 14c. for Low Middling, and 12ic. for Good Ordinary.Thursday, Middling Uplands closed at Liverpool at 17id., andhere at ISJc. But to day, with Liverpool a little less favorable,
the better grades are off in this market -Jc., but the other gradesare steady. The basis of the improvement here this week hasIjeen as noted above, the firmness and improvement at Liverpool,
which have much encouraged holders, especially as now the re-
ceipts are beginning to show a marked decline. Just at the close
of the month, too, the purchases to meet maturing contracts helpto sustain prices. For forward delivery prices have, in the main,followed the rates for Spot Cotton. There has been more inquiry for
March, and quotations are relatively higher. To<lay prices closed
for March, 14ic.; for April, 13 15-16; for May, 14c; for June, 14c.;
for July, 14ic.; and for August, 14ic. The total sales of this
description for the week have been 78,400 bales, including 100free on board. For immediate delivery the total sales f jot upthis week 22,110 bales, including 2,242 bales to arrive, of which4,817 bales were taken by spinners 1,808 bales on si>ecuIation,
15,885 bales for export, and 600 bales in transit. The followingare the closing quotations

week throughout the South. At Mobile, Charleston, Augusta,
Selma, Columbus, Galveston and Memphis they have had no rain
all the week, but the weather has been warm and dry, or as the
Augusta telegram describes it, delightful. At Nashville and
Montgomery it has rained one day, and at Macon two days ; with
those exceptions, the reports state it has been pleasant. Thethermometer at Mobile averaged G3 ; at Charleston, 68 ; at Mont-gomery, 65 ; at Macon, 04 ; at Selma, 70 ; at Galveston, 69 ; at
Columbus, 63 ; and at Memphis, 60.
The Next Crop.—The prevailing opinions as to the extent
of the planting for the next crop appear to be quite diverse.
The New Oi leans Price Current, for instance, in its , issue of
March 18, states that " low prices cannot stop cotton produc-
tion ; they viUl possibly increase it." The planter " will plant
g;or crop enough, to bring him as much income at six cents
a pound as ho receives for cotton at twelve cents." On the
other hand, a correspondent in the same paper. In speakingof Mississippi says, that the situation in tJiat State is peculiar.
"1. The cotton crop has increase- 1 about thirty per cent ; 3. Thefactors cannot collect their advances ; 3. The planters are unable
to command supplies ; 4. The laborers are, in many instances,
without food." The information this correspondent gives
only confirms what we are receiving from divers other sections of
the South. Now, it strikes us that this condition of things, if cor-
rectly stated, is incompatible with the idea of another planting
equal to the last. For if an increase of the crop this year 30 per
cent., with a decline on the plantation to 11 cents, results in so
great a loss that the " factor is unable to collect his advances,"
while the credit of the planter is wholly need up, so that he can-
not even command food for his laborers, howmuch betteroff wouldthe planter be if he were to raise a larger crop and sell it at " 6
cents per pound," as proposed by the first writer. This is thequestion that must present itself to the Southern farmer, and if hehas the wisdom we give him credit for, ho will (unless he canhire his labor at lower rates) turn his chief attention to fatteninghogs, and raising corn and wheat to satisfy the hunger of thoseempty stomachs. Wo have not as yet any definite informationwith regard to the extent of cotton cultivation. From the abovefacts, however, one would naturally conclude that the planter willhave no desire to produce a large crop, or if he have the desire,that he will find it diiBcult to obtain the necessary fiinds. Whe-ther this conclusion will prove to be correct, we dare not under-take to say. Only one tiling is as yet assured and that is, as westated two weeks ago, very much legs money will be spentfor fertilizers.
Gunny Bags, Bagging, &c.—Cloth has ruled very quiet sincethe date of our last report, but much confidence is exhibited byholders, and prices are firm at 12ic., gold, in bond, for East India,
at which figure 150 bales are reported sold on the spot. We also
note the sale of 100 bales Bjrueo at 12fc., and 100 bales Native,deliverable in Boston the fi'rst of June, on private terms. Bagshave ruVed dull, and sales are confined to jobbing lots at 16c.,
currency, duty paid. Hemp is dull ; we only hear of 300 balessisal sold on private terms. Jute has met with a fair demand, andrules firm; sales are 750 bales on spot here at 7c., currency, 1,000bales " M. C." to arrive in Boston per " Nonantum" at 6|c., gold,and 300 common on spot at OJc, currency. Jut^ Butts are insteady moderate demand at full former prices ; sales are 600 balesto arrive at 4c., currency, 500 bales at 8Jc., currency, and 1,000bales on spot at 4o., currencj.

nearly ceased, except at redaced prlcM, the local trade haa takra
only totDpply immediate wants, and the demand for the Weat la-
dies has been less actlTe. There has been, howerer, a pretty good
inquiry for the British Provinces, and low grades of State andWestern brands,—thoae selling under $0 70—hare moved off
pretty freely, and not being very plenty, have brought fall prices,
especially good lines of superfine. For n^gular lines of shipping
extras, holders. In view of the relatively higher prices now ob-
tained for wheat, have not been disposed to make any concession,
but have not been able to realize more than $6 (i^>@%9 70, at which
sales were made to-day. Corn meal has declined, leading to free
sales. •
Wheat has entirely lost the excitement and activity noted in
our last, but prices are generally about as last Friday. Anadvance in ocean freights, and the fact that floor was doll
were the main causes of the depression, but the absence of ship-
ping orders, notwithstanding an advance reported from Liver-
pool, has made holders anxioas to realize. The shipping orders
In the last few days have been almost entirely from London andGlasgow. Receipts at the Lake ports are smaller than last year,
but this Is owing to a diversion in favor ot St. Louis. At to-day's
market there was a fair degree of activity at $1 67@1 61 for newSpring
; $1 68(31 60 for old red Winter, and $1 70@1 72 for newamber winter. No. 1 Spring sold early in the week at $1 63^and amber Winter $1 74 afloat.
Com has been in fall sapply, and the shipments eastward from
Chicago have been large, nnder which prime new mixed has
declined to 84(@84ic., and yellow to 85@86c., at which there werefew sales to-day. Rye has been dull, but about steady. Barley
and Barley Malt remain in the unsettled state previously noticed.
Oats have been dull, and prices, though without decided
decline, are weak and unsettled. The stock is large and the
trade slow.

There were afloat at Chicago 194,740 bushels of wheat, and 754,668 bushels ofcorn, about two-thirds of which are included in the stocks as representedabove. The stock of wheat in Milwaukee shows a reduction from the preTioueweek, caused by transfer from warehouse to vessels. In the total stock visiblein 1870 at the corresponding date, St. Lonis, Oswego, Boston, Toronto,Montreal, Philadelphia and Baltimore were not included.
GROCBRIES.Fridat Evenikg, March 24. 1871.
The most decided changes in this market for the week are a
loss of tone on Coffees, and an increased demand and higher
prices for Sugar, other goods remaining nominally steady. Theamount of business doing has not been very large, in fact appar-
ently somewhat disappointing to a portion of the trade, but
holders are reasonably confident and look for an increased move-
ment of goods at an early day, in view of the gradual develop-
ment of facilities for inland transportation, and a reduction in
freight charges. New York operators are still of the opinion that
the tariff on Tea and Coffee will not be disturbed this session of
Congress, but the country dealers think or affect to think quite
differently, and this tends to retard business considerably.
The entries direct lor consumption, and the withdrawals from
bond, showing together the total thrown on the market for the
week, were as follows :
Tea, black.... 2,791 pkg:s.<ireen 7,^193 pkgs.Japan 2,164 p'igs.Various Jt58 pkjfs.

Imports this week at this port have included 26,116 bags Rio
Coffee, 200 do St. Domingo and 644 do of other kinds, mostly from
Mexico. The receipts of Sugar and Molasses have been rather
light. The arrivals of Tea embrace 1,055,117 lbs. of Japan tea,
and 13,800 do of Black.

additional quieting inference of the agitated repeal of duty; and though there
is probably only a very few if any of the Trade here who imagine such a lawwill be enacted, cotmtry dealers generally consider the matter as sure, andhold ofl' accordingly. As to the supply hero it is not only very large but well
assorted, the new crop having come in much more freely than for the corre-
sponding period last year. Rumors have been circulated to the efl'ect that one
or two very large sales had taken place, but there appears to be no foundation
for such a report. We note 6,034 Greens, 7,100 Oolongs, and 1,800 Japans.
Imports this week have included 375,406 lbs. of Japan Tea per "AbbyBacon," from Yokohama ; 480,784 lbs. do per " Horatio," from the same port,and 12,800 lbs. of Black Tea per "John Wooster," from Whampoa.The following taole shows the Imports of Tea Into the United States (not

COFFEE.We have again to note an extremely dull general market, and some los* of
the pre\ious firm and confident tone. The wants of jobbers are light, in fact
much less than anticipated, as is usual at this season, a s the distribution to
small dealers and consumers seems to fall off rather than increase, and the
prospects of improvement are poor, interior buyers having great faith in the
repeal of import duties, and refusing to operate until the question is settled.
The advices from Europe are a!60 of a nature to reduce the probabilities of
any unusual call from that direction; and wiih all the outlets thus more or lesa
contracted, importers in many instances begin to lose courage; and though not
yet willing to grant concessions to any extent, will quickly enter into negotia-
tions at former flgnres, and arc placing their supplies on sale with greater
freedom. Of BraziU the accumulation not only here but along the entire sea-
board has increased, and the arrivals generally are of a quality to improve tho
assortment considerably. Owners in consequence have kept a fair amonnt
available, but were unable to attract the attention of buyers beyond a few
small lots wanted for the most urgent necessitlee, all movements being con-
ducted with great caution, and jobbers evidently were unwilling to take snp.
plies unless the same could be turned over immediately to advantage. Nopositive change in prices has been quoted, but while good to prime qualities
are ouly steady, the common sorts have a weak undertone, and would succumb
at once to any pressure to realize. Other descriptions continue to draj; along
slowly and without features of interest. About former prices arc asked and
obtained on the small lots changing hands, but in reality there is not enough
busiuess doing to form a good basis for quotations. The 'Stocks, as a rule, are
small . Sales of 5,236 bags Rio, 800 bags Maracaibo, 200 bags Government
.Tava, 325 bags Costa Rica, 200 bags Jamaica, and 200 bags St. Domingo. AtNew Orleans, 5,000 bags Rio on spot and 7,771 to arrive.
Imports this week have included 7.012bags of Rio per " Johan ; " 14.104 do.do . per " Merrimack," and 5,000 do. Santos per "Eliza and Maria." Of otherkinds the imports have Included 200 bags St. Domingo, per "Naonta," and640 do. mostly from Mexico.
The stock of Rio March 23, and^the Imports since Jan^ 1, 1871 , are as followe:
TEA.Some little business has been reported, but nothing of magnitude, and a
portion back sales of several days standing, the market, as a whole, remainingm an extremely dull condition, and the tone very weak. Holders of the•locks .do not urge business, but are quite willing if not a little anxious to
operate, and quick buyers would be treated with much consideration. Theamounts sent out to consninerBthuir far -this year have been very large, andtbii alone tends.to.kcep the jobbing movement low, but just now there is tlie

ST7GAR.Raws have continued to sell to a very fair extent, and the market, to gain
strength with prices on most grades, further advanced, and the selling interest
generally quite firm and confident in their views. The unusually early open-
ing of navigation, and the falling off in cost of transportation, very materially
increases the probability of a larger interior distribution, which alone has a
strengthening tendency ; but in addition to the above, importers are stimulated
by the moderate arrivals, and some falling off in the accumulation, and growing
rumors of a reduction in the crop of Cuba. The latter idea has been mooted
for some time, and flgurcs are now being produced to show the truth of the
report, but even those most interested in higher prices are not inclined to
depart from a cautions policy, and prefer waiting further advices before
operating with any great amount of freedom, either in the way of placing their
stocks in a position to be withheld for a decided improvement in value, or
indulging in speculative movements. The general offerings, however, are
small, and unless extreme market quotations are realized, cnrrent receipts are
at once placed in store. A few purchases have been made by the trade, out
the demand was in the main from refiners, who now have an unusually liberal
margin, and in many instances have shown an Inclination to purchase some-
what in excess of early wants . Muscovado cured have rather had the prefer-
ence over clayed and centrifugal . The immense stock of Manila which has so
long been considered as a sort of drag, has been much reduced by two or three
liberal sales. Refined has sold well at full prices throughout, and in some
cases the range was increased. Tho call in the main was on home account,
though exporters took a fair amount, and probably would have handled more
had the Government officials decided upon the amount of drawback at an
earlier date. Sales of 3,396 hhds. Cuba, 1,112 hhds. Porto Rice, 206 hhds . NewOrleans, 2,932 boxes Havana, 89,695 bags Manila and 14 hhds. Mclado.

Wo have again to report a very dull general market and few really new fea-
tures. On all styles, as they are now selling in small job lots, the tone is a lit-
tle slack and holders ivlU close out odd parcels frequently at some concession.
The large lines of goods, however, in first hands—what there Is of them—arcnotavailableexccpt at full former figures, and in some cases the feeling Is
firmer. This has been cBpeclally noticeable on Pepper, as late advices from
abroad were of the most encouraging character. Nutmegs and Mace a little
buoyant also but no higher.
FB17ITS. &C.
The market since the date of our last has been extremely qnlet, most of our
city Jobbbers having purchased previously to arrive, and these goods nowcoming in freely supply all their wants, which are, however, small. Layer
Raisins are very slow of sale, bnt the larger holders are generally firm, and
prefer buying lots at $3 to allowing the market to fall below that price. Cur-
rants and Turkish Pranes have both been dealt in rather sparingly and are easier
in price, favoring tho buyer. Sardines are In moderate demand for quarter
boxes, and former prices rule about steady. Almonds are again rather quiet,
but the late advance is fairly sustained. Brazil Nuts are in light demand at
the decline. Citron is not plenty, and held at higher prices. Walnuts are
steady, but in only moderate demand.
Tho supply of Foreign Green box fmlt has been large, the sales average
about 18,000 boxes a day since onr last ; prices have been well sustained byshipping largely to the West, bnt at tbe close easier prices are ruling, though
the general Impression is, that they will do better again next week. WestIndia fruii has not been in large supply, but tbe abundance of Mediterranean
hascansed a, decline in prices of Oranges, the best now selling at $10 per bbl.
Cocoanuts sell moderately well at $38®40 per thousand for Baracoa ; small lota
^jct Bananas have sold at $1 50®J 80 per hunch. At auction to-day Palermo•''Oianges sold at (2 00@S 80 ; Messina at $3 00®3 80 ; Falormo Lemons at
$3 80@3 83, and Messina at {.1 70®3 90.
Domestic Dried have ruled rather qolet for Apples^ bnt former prices havebeen sustained. Peaches arc still scarce, hut the comparative high prices cur-
rant. Blackberries are again quiet, bnt arc held pretty steady. Pitted Cherriesore in fair demand at former prices. Flnma are also ftrm. Raspberries arc In
fair supply at last quotations.
Domestic Oreen are slow of sale and cheap compared with last fall. Dealersore making very little, as tbey lose a great deal by rotting. Sales of best at
$3 SOQS 75. Cranberries are slow exceptvery eboice, which sell at (8 60®3 T5

380 THE CHKONICLK [March 25, 1871.
THE DRY aOODS TRADE.Fmdat. P.m.. March 84, 1871.
There has been a better jobbing trade, this week, and the tone
of the 'market is decidedly improved, though the prices on
domestic cotton fabrics are decidedly unsettled, and trade is re-
stricted in consequence. The movements from first-hnnds are
Bomewhat heavier than at the time of our last report, jobber's
stocks having become broken and this class of dealers being forced
into the market for second purchases The market is well filled
with buyers from the interior, representing the Western, Southern
and near-by trade, and the mild weather has developed a greatly
improved demand from consumers, and retailers are forced to pur-
chase, though many would doubtless prefer holding ofiT a week or
two longer until the market becomes more settled. The usual
revision of prices is now in progress, and is already more general
than at the corresponding date last year. The movements, too,
appear to be somewhat in excess of that period, which is due, no
doubt, to the fact that the weather during the current month has
been such as leads dealers as well as consumers to look for no
return of cold weather, and induces more liberal purchases from
consumers, of light spring and summer fabrics than has been
usual at this season ot the year. The retail trade here is good,
and is reported satisfactory in nearly all other cities. Collection^
are made with fair freedom and the condition of the trade gene-
rally is healthy, and favorable for a prosperous season.
Domestic Cotton (Joodb.—There is a fair jobbing trade doing
in all cotton fabrics suited to the requirements of dealers at this
season of the year, and the tone of the market is rather morefavorable than at the time of our last report. There has been a
reduction of ^c. on all standard sheetings during the week,
the agents lor several brands having marked down their goods,
while jobbers have made the prices on other brands to correspond
though the quotations are nominally unchanged in first handsMedium and lower counts of brown goods are also declining, andseveral brands are already down. Bleached goods have met noimportant reduction as yet, but it is expected that the decline in
brown cottons will have the effect to bring about a decline beforemany weeks. The agents for all prominent makes state thatthey are sold close to the production, however, and apparentlycontemplate making no change. Colored cottons have experi-enced a reduction of Ic. on several brands of ticks, stripes anddenims, and a complete revision of quotations is likely to occur.Prints remain as previously reported, with the exception of Simp-son's, which have been reduced to lOc. The demand for all of
the best makes is fair, and prices are apparently steadily main-tained. Desirable styles of light work are well cleared out of themarket, and the remaining stock is by no means excessive.Lawns and percales have sold freely, and the stock of popularmakes is well closed out. Prices are firm, but no advance is pro-bable.Domestic Woolen Goods.—The sales of woolen fabrics from
first hands continue fairly active, and the stocks of light weightsare as well reduced as is usual at this season. The production ofthese goods has about ceased, manufacturers having already begunrunning on heavy weights, and the amount of spring goods car-ried into the next season will be small. Fancy cassimeres ofdesirable styles in medium grades have sold freely, while fine
foods have been in moderate request for the better class of trade,'aced goods are in fair demand, the sal^s of popular makes being
reported as satisfactory. Spring flannels in the best grades arehigher, and quotations are well maintained at the recent advance.Shawls are in good request, as previously noted, and desirablestyles of nearly all makes are well sold up.
Foreign Goods.—The demand for all dress fabrics continuesgood with importers and jobbers, and the market presents no newfeature of interest. Linens are in about the same condition as atthe time of our last review, the market remaining firm, with afairly active jobbing trade, while the movements from first handsare only moderate at the moment. Dress linens are in betterdemand, at full prices. Silks are selling well, and prices are wellmaintained, the importations being comparatively light. Foreignshawls are in good demand, and desirable styles of perfect goodsremain scarce. The hosiery trade is a trifle less active than wasreported a few weeks earlier, heavy buyers having generallystocked up and returned to their homes. Prices aie unchanged,and are so low as to admit of but small profits to importers, inconsequence of the excessive competition on these goods in thismarket. This is especially the case with German goods, and thelow prices have induced so liberal sales that the stock is now verylight, and the tone of the market firmer.
The exports of dry goods for the past week, and since January1, 1871, and the total for the same time in several previous yearsare shown in the following table :
