specie payments are resumed. This assurance is re¬
garded with the liveliest satisfaction; and the various
methods which have been proposed for
calling in our super¬
fluous paper money are everywhere canvassed with a warmth
and earnestness which shew that the
public mind is alive to
the delicacy of the work of contraction and to the mischiefs
which will ensue if it be unwisely done.
We have now arrived, therefore, at a critical point
in the
history of our paper money inflation, and it may be of use
to glance back at the Course of
legislation in reference to it.
After the suspension of specie payments by
the banks in
this State, and throughout the
country, at the close of 1861,
it became evident that

THE CHRONICLE.

But it is well known that

perturbations in the price of
gold arise in some degree from the foreign exchanges. The
changes from this cause are not, however, very large except
in certain great political or financial crises when
public con¬
fidence and public credit are prostrated.
In such cases too
speculation comes in and exaggerates the evil. And on this
account the speculators have often been accused
among us
of depreciating the currency, when
really it was the price
of gold itself that was temporarily raised, and the
only per¬
sons responsible for
depreciating the currency were those
who had authorized and necessitated its issue in excess. It
is for the controlling of these minor anomalous fluctua¬
tions in

market are attempted to be justified.

Hence emancipation must tend to a
large increase of the
productive power of the country. The millions of black

lacked the usual incentive to
exertion, and, therefore, ac¬
complished comparatively little.

As soon as it becomes respectable as well as neces¬

With this change in their ideas and
habits will come also a
corresponding alteration in their
mode of living. Comfortable
clothing and commodious houses
will be regarded as
important auxiliaries of domestic life.
In this way the effective industrial

prosperity of the entire nation.

Thursday

morn¬

ing, December 14, says ;
The members of the American Irou and
ciation of the United States assembled at

Steel Manufacturers’Asso¬
the Board of Trade room

yesterday morning, for the purpose of holding their second annual
meeting.
It is shown by the report of the secretary pro tem. that the pro¬
duct of the blast furnaces ia 1864 was 1,149,913 net tuns.
Of this
684,319 tuns were anthracite pigs, 210,108 of raw coal make, and the
balance of charcoal make. The product of Pennsylvania and Ohio
exceeded one million tuns.
In 1856, the whole number of charcoal furnaces in the United States
was 156.
The product of new iron for 1864 was 974,876 tuns.
The amount of pig iron, scrap iron, etc., worked up in 1864 was

1,400,000 tuns. It is evident that this important interest is to
largely developed here in the next few years, and it is the duty of
the Government to extend to it every encouragement.
In 1849 there were 79 chare al furnaces in Pennsylvania east of the
mountains, which produced in that year 65,617.tuns. By the year
1860 32 of these had finally ceased operations.
To the remaining 47
at least 7 new furnaces had been added ; the production in that year
was 36,576 tuns.
In 1864, 42,953 tuns were made. West of the
Alleghany Mountains in Pennsylvania, there has been, since 1849, a
very marked and rapid decrease in the production of charcoal iron.
This region, in 1849, produced 65,494 tuns of charcoal iron, 86 furna¬
ces being in operation.
In 1864 9 furnaces only were in blast, pro¬

THE CHRONICLE
The

®l)c Commercial ®itnes.
COMMERCIAL

imports from foreign ports of a few leading articles for the
for the same time last year, have

week and since Jan. 1,1865, and
been as follows:

EPITOME.

For
the

Friday Night, Dec. 22.

With the

approach of the New Year holidays, trade usually as¬
quiet aspect, and is therefore deprived of any feature
of importance that it might otherwise present.
The fear of con¬
traction has ceased to deter buyers, or to precipitate sales; and,
on the whole, the tone of trade
may be regarded as considerably
improved ; for it is evident that but for the unwillingness to incur
bosh obligations at this peculiar season, speculative put chases, to
some extent, would take
place.
Cotton has been buoyant and active.
BreadstutTi have in some
particulars improved, but buyers, before taking hold freely, will
wait the effect of u large amount of
speculative bills maturing in
January.
Groceries having declined very materially from the highest point
of the past season, have shown some
recovery from the lowest fig¬
ures
early in the week. Trade, however, is still on a moderate
sumes a most

scale.

We have had a very brisk demand for
hoop iron of most kinds during the whole month. T and Angle iron,
(the latter of the best quality) have likewise been in steady request.
We have witnessed over the same period a steady demand for bars,
both marked and second class. The latter we must quote about ‘2» 6d
per ton dearer as the month drew to a close.
No doubt the trade in
this kind of iron has improved during the month under review to this
extent.
Nail rods are in demand, and a good business has been done
for district consumption.
Nail sheets have advanced in price 2s 6d per
ton since our last monthly circular, but the market price is still very far
below the list rate. In the early part of the month the demand for Gal¬
vanising sheets for Glasgow was good. As the month closed tbs Scotch
trade became less active, and aejthegreatjgalvanieing houses at Wolver¬

of formation with the intention of buying

tbe Southwestern branch of the Pacific Railroad, and extending
it to the northern boundary of Texas, where it will be met by the
ont

Texas Central Railroad, a part

of which is now under construction
northerly direction from Galveston. The whole, line, when
laid, will be nine hundred miles long, and will place St. Louis and

Railroad.—Work upon

right quarters to do something towards the completion of this
was very apparent among the stock hold¬
ers at their annual
meeting last month. It has been estimated that
it will cost $4,000,000 to complete it to Greensburg and a connec¬
tion with the Pennsylvania Central Railroad ; about $2,000,000 to
complete it to Pittsburg, and between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000
to complete it to Unioutown and comieet it with the Pittsburg and
Connellsville Railroad. Should the road be completed to any one
of these points it will be one of the most direct south and west
routes of travel, and contribute largely to the facilities between
Philadelphia and tbe Ohio valley.
