uniformly maintained that there was no
real danger that the American
people, who have twice paid
off their public
debt, would dishonor themselves and make
the American name a
by-word throughout the world by
attempting to repudiate the war debt of the nation. This
declaration has been well sustained.

that Mr. Secretary Boutwell in his recent Treasury report is

large amount by capitalists of standing. The financial public

instructive, as an indication of the extent to which
they have been encumbered with debts and their growth and
prosperity naturally Impeded, by the increased taxation requi
site to meet the interest and maturing principal of such debts.
Considering the statement in this view, it must be acknowl
edged that oqr cities, as a general rule, are in a sound and
healthy financial condition, their debts bearing but a very
sn^%ll proportion to the amount of their taxable properly, and
within such lwnits as to be easily manageable with judicious
legislation. It will be noticed also that the sinking fund
.principle has been extensively applied in the government of
their finances, and the amounts held in this way are in
many
cases equal to a
very large proportion of the whole debt.
The, table which follows contains a summary of the total in¬
debtedness of each city, the amount of its sinking fund, the

From another Western city we have the following
pertinent reply : “Our city is now in an.utterly insolvent
condition, and the aggregate of her debt is so large that the
publication of it in your valuable journal would give our city
undue notoriety, the details of which could be no possible
service to others than the creditors of our city, with whom we
have to communicate personally to make settlements.” And

ing : “ So great is the disorder in which we find the affairs of
the city handed over by those who for several years have con¬

These instances, however, are quite exceptional, and indeed
the only ones out of some sixty cities, in which the financial
condition was positively bad.
Investments in city lands and city bonds are among the
most favored of any in the country, as experience has shown
that the rapid and steady increase in wealth and population
renders these investments probably more safe and profitable
than any other one class which can be named. As to their

There has been

week, and the
sales have been very large, the result of which has been that prices
have risen about £d. per pound. The following relates to the trade
of Manchester:
Since this

day week this market has been active and animated up to yesterday,
but, although to day it has been quiet and almost dull in comparison with the early
days of the week, prices remain very firm, and the advance which was obtained
on Tuesday is maintained.
So large a business has been done during the last two
or three weeks that a
temporary suspension has very little effect upon prices. On
Tuesday and Wednesday, owing to the excitement in the cotton market, spinners
and manufacturers appeared to be rather alarmed lest a speculative movement
should set in, which might involve them in difficulties, owing to the engagements
which they had incurred.
Yesterday, however, the cotton market became much

quieter, Jbuyers here made few offers, and declined to give the prices asked, conse¬
quently producers became easier again, and to-day they have been more ready
sellers. Owing to the lightness of stocks and the contracts which producers have
on hand, the tendency
of prices is rather easily influenced upwards. In the first
instance the impetus to the price of cotton came from this market a few weeks
since, but during the present week prices have been influenced by the animation
in Liverpool which \tas caused on
Tuesday by reports of small receipts of cotton.
The estimates formed of the weekly receipts, from those of the first three days,
now promise to be
fallacious, and later telegrams hold ont a promise that the total
reoeipts will be large.
Spinners have bought cotton heavily during the week, having taken 82,003 bales.
The total sales exceed the estimated sales by 26 000 bales, and the stock cf Ameri¬
can cotton,
according to the estimate, is only 18.600 bales. Some, however, are
dubious about this estimate being correct,
but imports are now due, and there will
be a better choice shortly.

From the iron districts the accounts continue very

regard to the amount of business #>ing, and an increased
demand has sprung up in connection with India, about 20,000 tons
of rails and proportionate quantities of cast-iron sleepers being
about to be given out on account of Indian railways. The exports
of railroad iron in October were 96,644 tons, being nearly 33,000
tons more tlian they were in the corresponding month of 1868, and

a great extent subsided; but at the same time
there is no activity in the demand either for English or foreign
produce. That any important rise can take place in prices seems
very doubtful, for the stocks of foreign wheat here are large, and
about 1,500,000 quarters of wheat are still estimated to be afloat, so
that our importations are likely to be well kept up during tbe win¬

Of course,

during the last fifteen months heavy losses have been
by the importers of cereal produce, but it is well known
that much wealth had been acquired in 1867 and in some preceding
years, owing to which only protracted losses could lead to a
general collapse. It is probable that in the course of a short period
our importations will begin to diminish.
The rapidity with which
the producing countries can now be communicated with, changes, in
some respects, the aspect of the trade, and as the firmness which
characterised the British markets in August last had the effect of
rapidly increasing the supply of wheat afloat, so the depression
which is now prevailing has the contrary effect of rapidly diminish¬
ing the quantity of produce on passage to our ports.
Last week the import of wheat was very large, and was nearly
double the quantity received in the corresponding week of last
year.
There was also a good importation of flour. The following
are the particulars of imports and exports:—

large amount of funds
tl rown upon the market for investment by the heavy purchases of fivetwenties on the part of Secretary Boutwell, must find new chambers
into which they can be safely and profitably directed.
A great part
of these funds are undoubtedly re-invested in fir.-t-class railroad bonds
at such rates as to pay a very large difference to the holders in the
way of interest.
Take for instance, the Kansas Pacific Railway gold
bonds, row offered by Dabney, Morgan & Co. and M. K. Jesup & Co.,
two eminent banking houses in New York.
This loan is secured by a
railroad in successful operation for 437 miles, and earning more than
enough to pay the interest on the new loan. It has also 3,€00,000 of
acres in Kansas, which are being soi l for its development, together
with an additional 3,000,000 acres in Kansas and Colorado, which have
been set apart as a sinking fund for the payment of the loan.
The
agents estimate the value of the road to-day at $22,300,000, and this
property is offered as security for $6,51:0,000. The price of the
Kansas Pacific Railway bond is 96, with accrued interest in currency,
five twenties of ’65 sell at 115, and as both securities bear 6 per cent,
gold interest, the difference in the railroad bonds is apparent. Already
$2,500,000 of the bonds have been sold. The agents reserve the right
to increase the rate, and it will be well for our friends to send to them
for pamphlets, maps and circulars, and investigate the matter for them¬

Its total

length is exactly one mile—5,280 feet—?nd it has
twenty-seven spans, two of which are longer- than any others now
in existence in America.
The spans over the channels are 350

In the Indiana channel there wi 1

water, and 67£ feet at low water, which will permit ibe pa.-sage of
most Ohio boats without op ning the draw.
The plan of the
bridge is the Fisk suspension truss. Although so la-go and so
satisfactory tin every way, its cost will not exceed $1,500,000,
including the approaches at each end, which are 2 7 miles long.
The bridge was designed and superintended by Albert Fink of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad, its Chief Engineer, and F. W.
Vaughan, Assistant Enjin er. It has been ;buiit by a company,
which was organized by the iate James Guthrie, but of which Mr.
W. B. Hamilton is President. It was commenced in July, LC67.

certainly a large number of well informed men
living in every part of the South who claim that it will reach that

Such has been the case during the last two seasons, and it
now appears that this
year is likely to furnish a similar experience.
A report received this week, dated the latter
part of November,
states “that the yield of our
crop is proving far short of the antici¬
pations formed at the commencement of the season upon what
then appeared to be a
thoroughly secure basis. Owing, as it
would seem, to the plants
having imbibed too much moisture, due,
in a great measure, to the
extraordinary high Nile, a considerable
proportion of the bolls have not reached maturity. Accounts
vary
rather widely as to the extent of the
injury done, and it becomes
difficult to form even a moderately correct
opinion. The present
estimates are about equivalent to the result of last
year’s crop.”
The exports of cotton this week from New York show a
decrease
fromlast week, the total reaching 11,104 bales,
against 14,604 bales last
week. Below we give our table
showing the exports of cotton from
New York, and their direction for each of the last four
weeks; also
the total exports and direction since
September 1, 1869 ; and in the
last column the total for the same period of the
previous year:

The market for Tobacco, the
past week, has been very quiet?
and is likely to continue so till after the
holidays, when
prices may be adjusted, so that business can be resumed.
In Kentucky Leaf the sales of the week amount
to only
about 275 hhds., nearly all to manufacturers and dealers
Prices remain nominally the same, and the transactions have
been mainly in the
range of 9@14c.
Seed Leaf Tobacco also
very quiet, and prices wholly un¬
settled. We have

SUGAR.

GROCERIES.
Friday Evening, December 17, 1869.

The week has been

of

generally dull markets in the line
With the exception of domestic molasses and
new
crop teas, the course of the trade has been sluggish, and
prices have been weak at former figures, or have shown an
actual decline. This state of affairs, was to have been
expected
to a certain extent at this season of the
year—a period when

leave but a small outlet in this direction. The stocks ot the
various kinds show no increase, however, except in bag3, which
have accumulated somewhat during the week. A move was made
a few days since on the part of the government, which, as at first

announced, threatened

a serious interruption of the trade.

the

action has been

so

modified, however, that there has been

no

serious

impediment placed in the way of business, importers removing
their goods, as usual when satisfying the authorities of the fair

valuation of each lot. A serious obstacle to the accurate deter¬
mination of a false valuation, in the case of sugars which have laid
in warehouses for any length of time, as much of the stock here has

done, would seem to arise from the fact that the character of 3ome
distrust occasioned by these is
sympathised in, to a greater or grades is materially changed by drainage and crystallization as time

FRUITS.

In

foreign fruits the arrivals since

our last report have been large,
prices have very generally settled. New
Layer and Valencia raisins are £c©lc lower; new currants and
citron, £c off; Turkish prunes, l®l£c lower, and the other changes
made in our quotations are in the same direction.
Several invoices
of these have been sold at public sale
Domestic dried fruits are
very quiet, except in Southern dried apples—the extreme grades of
these are in good demand—the lower for export to Germany at
on previous
prices, and the fine sliced for home use at steady rates.
Blackberries are dull. Peaches, pared and uupared, quiet and without
improvement Green foreign fruit has beeu freely sold at auction,
and is jobbing at former prices—Valencia oranges at $2 50@$3 00
per box, Palermo lemons at $4 O0@$4 50 per box, and Messina
do. about the same.
Havanna oranges have advanced, and command
$10 00@$12 00 per bbl. Bananas have sold at $4 00@$6 50
per
bunch. Carthagena cocoanuts bring about $60
per M. In domestic
green fruit apples are selling rather slowly at $3 50@$4 50, accord
ing to quality. Cranberries bring $11 00@$13 00. Pears am
quinces have passed out of the market.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Friday, P. M., December 10, 1869.

The tone of the market for domestic cotton

goods has
decidedly improved. The advance in sheetings noticed last
week was firmly maintained for several days, and was so
easily held that agents have again raised prices on standard
brown goods £ esnt per yard. This action is
undoubtedly
based upon the tone of the cotton market, which has been
quite steady, and notwithstanding the large receipts of the
past two weeks and the low price of gold, has even advanced
from the lowest prices made a few weeks ago. .Manufacturers
have apparently concluded that cotton has “ touched bottom,”
and as the stock of goods on hand is not large, they consider
the advance to be warranted by the situation.
An important influence in the print market is said to be the
introduction of a certain new process in the manufacture of
these goods, (lately patented by a gentleman connected with
the trade in this city,) and which it is said will effect a large
saving in the cost of manufacture. This process, we under¬
stand, is to be immediately adopted in the extensive works of
the Messrs. Sprague of Rhode Island. Prices of prints have
been weak and in some cases are lower.
In imported goods the heavy decline in gold has naturally
borne very heavily on those houses which paid duties on
their stock when the premium was 10 or 15 per cent, higher,

and under this influence, we regret to notice that a few firms
have been obliged to suspend. As a rule, however, we
believe that the number of failures throughout the whole

Dry Goods Trade in this city is less than usually
December.
