complete and so pervading is the power wielded by the
Treasury over the financial system of the country that every
new order, with its
probable effects and indications of future
policy, is earnestly canvassed among our business men; and
it is claimed by some persons that this policy of calling in
and cancelling the compound legal tenders offers at first sight
some promise of advantage.
This opinion cannot be gain¬

the Government if the notes are received at par; and al¬

B—To the Inland Carrier : 1st. On all river steamers,coal should be
used on the downward trip. The greatest danger is in calm weather,
or with a
light, following wind. With much wind the sparks are mostly
tarried so far as to fall in the water, and at such times there is more

danger from other boats, unlese they pass to the leeward. A good watch
sparks should at all times be kept.
2d, Lard, lard oil, bacon, and other oily matters should not be stowed

for

in contact with cotton.
3d* All passengers will smoke ; the only remedy is in watchfulnc s,
and the use of tarpaulins to cover the cotton ou the guards.
C—To the Cotton Press: 1st. It is well known, that in the busy sea¬
son, there is not sufficient shelter for cotton in New
cotton shipping ports.
Cotton which has lain under

Orleans, and other

2d. A strict regulation, prohibiting smoking in every form, should be
enforced at each press, and conspicuous notices to this effect should be
exhibited. This should particularly extend to the draymen who take
the cotton from the
press to the ship.
3d. At some presses much care has been judiciously bestowed in
providing hydrants and bos?, to use in case of tire. There should be
no
exceptions.
Experience, has s mwn that a full supply of common
bu kits, always filled and conspicuously placed, would prove of very
gre^t value, for even the time necessary to attach a hose and open a

There is very little doubt but that sparks from the galleyhave caused the destruction of many vessels. Their vicinity to
the open hatchway makes them peculiarly dangerous.

It enables the planter to put his cotton in market in better
order, with less waste, and, in case of tire, enables much cotton to be
saved which would be destroyed with rope.
Its persistence keeps the
bale to a smaller size, and insures a greater degree of uniformity, en¬
abling the vessel to stow more, and to better advantage.

The first edition of this book was published in 1851. It had an

extraordinary
brevity, its accuracy, and the great variety of information which it
contained. It seemed to omit nothing that was indispensable. The
compiler, Mr. Parke Godwin, now of the Evening Post, was ad¬

habits of accuracy, his great discretion and thoroughness! to pre¬
pare such a manual; and the enterprise, as was to have been ex¬

supplied additional material, which Mr. Sheppard has elaborated
and appended; and we have now a new edition which will for many

The Money Market.—There has been

change of mo¬
during the week.
The withdrawal of a large amount of
legal tenders into the
Sub-Treasury, through the sales of gold, has had no apprecia¬
ble effect upon the supply.
Brokers have been able to gef
all they required at 7 per cent on
call, and the discount mar¬
ket has been well supplied.
The receipts of currency from
outside are merely nominal,
exchange on Cincinnati & Chicago
being at par. At New Orleans, exchange on this city is at
a
discount; and the balance between New York and Boston
is still against us.
So that no dependence can be placed
upon outside supplies of money.
The openings of the port
trade is likely to produce an
early increase of bills at the
West, and a remittance in that direction may occur at any
no

time.

To-day the Sub-Treasury commenced the

opening of the

Exchange building, and the holding of several

daily sessions by the old board, has also tended to foster ac¬
tivity of business. The week opened with a brisk bear move¬
ment, supported by strong parties; an attack was made
up¬
on some of the
leading shares, with temporary success; but
the large current
purchases to cover outstanding “ short ”
contracts checked the downward
tendency, and prices close
to-day generally higher than a week ago. The annua]/report
of the New York Central
road, presented at a meeting of
stockholders this week, had the effect of
depressing the price
of the stock, the exhibit
being less favorable than was antici¬
pated, and the market generally sympathized. It has since
being explained, with what truth we know not, that the re¬
port was made up with a glowing aspect to influence future
legislation at Albany.
To-day, Ohio and Mississippi Certificates have taken an
upward leap of 1^, on the strength of the annual report pre¬
sented at the
meeting of the Company held on Wednesday.
The earnings of the road show an increase of
$448,062 over
those of 1864, with a decrease in the
expenses of $149,096;
making the net earnings $597,159 larger than those of last
.

The report estimates that the business for the year
ending December 31, 1865, will show a balance of earnings
over
expenditures amounting to $1,016,622. Cleveland and
Pittsburg has been sold heavily, as is supposed, by parties

who had

bought up largely to control the election of directors,
price, however, has been well sustained.
Large purchases have been made of Cleveland & Toledo,
upon the understanding that a new feeder will be early added
to the road,
materially increasing its traffic. The price has
advanced 7£ during the week.
Beneath the present buoyant tone of the
market, there is
a
feeling of mistrust in the continuance of the current large
earnings of the roads. The present inactivity of the older
houses is very much attributable to an
apprehension that the
competition of the Mississippi route will largely reduce both
the rates and the freights of the
principal roads ; and hence
they are willing to unload into other hands.

closing prices for leading shares on

The stoppage of the Treasury sales has been followed by a
steady rise in the premium. The lowest price touched, dur¬

that took

period last

place early in the week, and close firm.

The interest which centres in the Provision market is

now

The speculative demand has been very active,—favored at
the middle of the week,
by a material failing off in the receipts of
hogs at this and the western markets; but it is found difficult to
infuse confidence into the market—and
prices have on the whole
been without important advance.
All accounts from the West

that the packing season is very much behind former years ;
but, as the English orders for Bacon are very cautiously executed,
at moderate prices, no
apprehension of a short supply is felt. It
seem6 to be
expected that the packing will be active when it is
once commenced, and that the
hogs will make up in weight what
they lack in number. Lard having declined moves off rapidly.
Hogs are now arriving more freely at all points with favorable
weather for packing.
Beef, Butter and Cheese are inactive, aud
prices irregular.
Groceries of all kinds have been
very dull; coffees and sugars
have declined, and in other
particulars the tendency downward.
To-day, however, there was renewal of demand in coffee and rice.
Agree

Metals ehow much firmness.

Copper declined subsequent to our
last, but on the news by the Java, reacted and closed buoyant. It
is now thought the difficulties between
Spain and Chili are not
likely to be easily settled. Pig tin has latterly been more active,
at very full
prices in gold. Other metals show no important change.
Naval stores have had a downward
tendency, especially tar, of
'rthich the supply has
materially increased. Oils are quiet and un¬
changed.
Hides have experienced a slight
relapse in gold prices. Leather
quiet and unchanged. Fruits and fish tending downward. Petro¬
fair

export business.

Several thousand
barrels are being loaded at
Philadelphia for European markets.
There is an improved demand for wool at the decline which has
been acceded to
during the past month. Prices are now relatively
very low, and manufacturers seem disposed to purchase somewhat
beyond their immediate wants. There is no advance to notice—in
fact, some yielding in coarse wools is reported, but only from

prices we have had more movement, partly
speculative, in Cotton goods, a speculative feeling in the raw material
and favorable foreign news by the Java leading to a slight export
demand. On the contrary, to depress prices, we have had continued
heavy receipts at this market, as well as at the Southern ports,
scarcity of freight room to Europe, and, most potent of all, the ad¬
vance in the rate of assurance to five per cent.
The severe losses by
fire in our cotton warehouses have compelled an advance of premium in self-protection.
Probably, the improved prospects of the
next planting season (American energy and tact overcoming the
formidable difficulties that were presenting the»selves) were not
without a depressing influence.

Wheat has improved

within the past two days from seven to
bushel. The greater improvement is in the low
grades of spring, which have been most depressed. They are taken
for export to Great Britain.
In the finer grades of Red the advance is nearly nominal, as there is only a limited milling
demand
for them, and choice Springs do not briDg their relative value.
A
decline in freight has favored the export movement. The deliveries
at this market are now suspended for the season.
They may be
resumed to a limited extent by rail and the southern steamers.
The wheat market may be said to be in some danger from the ex¬
cess of flour, and sales at such low prices as will compel our local
millers to stop grinding. Some of them*have already done so, in
which case, the present considerable stock—say about four mil¬
lion bushels—could only find a maiket through exportation.
Corn has moved freely for export, and with a decline in freights
prices have advanced one cent. The receipts of Western corn have
now ceased, and but
very small quantities of corn grown on the
Atlantic coast is reaching the market. The stock, however, is
large. Oats have improved.
