The title of the ST. LOUIS AND IRON MOUNTAIN
RAILROAD having been confirmed by act of the Gen¬
eral Assembly of tne State of Missouri, and the bonds
declared valid, the work of extending the same to a
connection with the Southern system of roads at Co¬
lumbus, Kentucky, is now going rapidly forward;
91 miles being in profitable operation, 45 miles of new
work graded with rails enough on hand for 47 miles ;
it is expected that the wrhole line from St. Louis to
Belmont, 192 miles, will be opened for business early
next year, so that there will be a continuous line from
St. Louis to Mobile, New Orleans and other Southern
cities. A very large traffic is anticipated. The old
part of the road (91 miles) already earns enough to se¬
cure ah the interest on the whole mortgage debt, and
the extension completed will vastly increase the earn¬
ings. The proceeds of these bonds going into the ex¬
tension of the road adds to the security, and a pro¬
jected branch siuthwestwardly from Pilot Knob for

foregoing table shows an increase in the receipts for
the week, this year, compared with the same period of 1867,
of 3,133 bales. Our telegraphic advices to-night indicate
a further considerable falling off in
the receipts, so that our
total for next week will be still less than that given to-day. For
the remainder of the season the arrivals will without doubt
be small, the present high prices having resulted in drawing
down the interior stocks to a low figures, the aggregate now
The
leading inland points being not much more than
one-third the total for the same period last year. The exports
also show a further decrease this week, the total at all the ports
reaching 41,427 bales, against 44,402 bales last week, and
60,148 bales the previous week. The following table furnishes

quiet, but since
Wednesday prices have taken a sharp upward turn; Middling
Uplands to-day touching 32^c., the highest point of the crop
this year.
During the whole week the speculative feelinghas
been very strong, and holders have been firm, but the apathy
at Liverpool until yesterday and to day has prevented any
activity. The belief on the part of some in even higher prices
has been strengthened within the last few days by the very
small receipts which are now coming in at the ports of
the United States, as reported by telegraph, and by the rise
in gold, while the prolonged non-receipt of telegrams from Bom¬
bay, and the continued large consumption at Manchester indi¬
cate that all the surplus we shall have will be required at even
higher rates. The question of supplies at Liverpool and de¬
mand at Manchester is fully discussed this week in the letter of
our foreign correspondent, to which we would reler our readers.
Sales of the week foot up 27,471 bales, of which 3,321 bales
were taken by spinners, 15,316 bales on speculation, 8,384
bales for export, and 450 bales in transit. The following are

Print Cloths were reported firmer at the close. The sales at Provi¬

Prints are firm, and there is a greatly improved feeling at the close.
Prices were umettled for a day or two in the middle of the week, but
holders are now very firm in their views. We place two prices to
many brands ; the highest represents the rate demanded for the newest
designs, and the lowest is sometimes accepted in small lines of passable
styles, mixed with imperfect work or unsuccesful patterns. Allens 1814, do pk & pu 14b Amoskeag 18-14, Arnolds 11 *-12, Cockeco 14*-15,

but jobbers, in case of a reduction in

prices, could not possibly replace their goods at the same
rates, and objected to make such a useless sacrifice, the decline
in prices, therefore, has been much less than was anticipated.
Business remained inactive at unchanged quotations until
Wednesday, when there was a break in many makes of
Brown goods.
Prints became also unsettled through the
action of a large jobbing firm who reduced their prices on the
entire list; other influential firms, while acceding to the reduc¬

or
Third.—To make and use a common seal, and alter the same at
pleasure.
Fourth.—To hold, purchase, and
convey such reai and personal estate as the
purposes of the corporation shall require, not exceeding the amount limited in
the articles of association.Fifth.—To appoint subordinate officers and
agents as the business of the
corporation shall require, and to allow them a suitable compensation.
Sixth.—To make by-laws not inconsistent with
any existing law for the
management oi its property and regulation of its affairs, and for the transfer of
its stock.
By this they are authorised to carry into effect the objects named in
their prospectus, as fully as
any corporation created by special act of
the Legislature; and such co
vpanies are entitled to all the rights and
privileges, and are subjected to all the restrictions and liabi ities granted
or imposed in the old railroad law of
February 19, 1849. Thus char¬
tered, the companies are required to complete and open the first
fifty
miles of the road within five
years ; six months more being allowed for
each additional twenty five miles.
Branch roads, connecting with the
main
line, are also authorized under this act ; and when the directors
companies canno agree on mutually satisfactoty terms respect¬
ing the junction of the roads, the Court of Common Pleas of the district
cf two
iu which the connection is to be made shall have the
final arbitration
of the question.
Unrestricted competition is always better than fav¬
ored monopolies, and it would be well if
every State in the Union
would follow the example of New York and
Pennsylvania.
