MUSSELMAN, President.

There is no railroad Corporation in America whose
bonds should more fully command the entire confi¬
dence of capitalists than this, which has never faltered
in the payment of its obligations, of
every description.
The net earnings of the road are more than fourfold
the interest on its present bonded indebtedness, and
the stockholders have received eight per cent cash
dividends.
°
It is the purpose of the Company to issue at present
only a small portion of their Bonds secured under this
mortgage, which we are now authorized to sell, in
lots to suit purchasers, at ninety^uul accrued iuterest.
Personal knowledge of this property, and its manage¬
ment, fully warrant us in unhesitatingly recommend¬
ing these Bonds, as in all respects, a first class

security.

responsible t ’ the country for the management of its affairs.
6. Three United States Commissioners must certify that the road is well built and equip¬
ped, and in all respects a first-class railway, before any bonds can be issued upon it.
7. The United States Government lends the company its own bonds to the same amount
that the company issues, for which it takes a second mortgage as security.
8. As additional aid, it makes an absolute donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile
lying upon each side of the road.
9. The bonds pay six per cent in gold, and the principal is also payable in gold.
10. The earnings from the local or way business were over four million dollars last year,
which, after paying operating expenses, was much more than sufficient to pay the interest.
These earnings will be vastly increased on the completion of the entire line in 1869.
12. No political action can reduce the rate of interest.
It must remain for thirty years—
six per cent per annum in gold, now equal to between eight and nine per cent in currency.
The'principal is then papable in gold. If a bond, with such guarantees, were issued by the
Government, its market price would not be les3 than from 20 to 25 per cent premium. As
these bonds are issued under Government authority and supervision, upon what is very' largely
a Government work,
they must ultimately approach Government prices.

the market,
except at a large advance. The Lng time, the high gold interest, and the perfect
security, must make these bonds very valuable for export.
All the

predictions which the officers of this Company have made in relation to the pro
success of their enterprise, or the value and advance in the price of their
securities, have been more than confirmed, and they therefore suggest that parties who desire

accomplished under the pressure of a war necessit}7, and we are inclined to the opinion that some political
convulsion will be required to obtain any sufficient pretext for
dividing the State of New York.
There has never been any general agitation of the subject,
or discussion, to enable the people and the Legislature to ma¬
ture their judgment in regard to its expediency.
In 1857,
the Mayor of this city, having been defeated in his opposi¬
tion to the Metropolitan Police Law, started the idea of a
division of the State and procured the calling of a public meetingffor the purpose of agitating the subject. But the move¬
ment. perished, still born.
A second attempt, in 1861, had
no.better success. The alleged grievance then was the legis-1
lation for this city and the counties nearest to it, by the State I
Legislature ; certainly a questionable policy, but clearly I
within the province of that body as much as local legislation I
for any other county.

It appears

that the 643 mills here reported upon consume
400,927,783 pounds of cotton per annum, or 890,000 bales.
Allowing 85,000 bales for the consumption of the mills not
heard from, and say 25,000 bales for
consumption otherwise
than in the mills, we have
upon this basis of estimate a total
consumption in the country of about 1,000,000 bales. Re¬
turns of this
character, however, are subject to a certain
degree of over statement, owing to a very natural trade
motive in the manufacturer to
give an appearance of import¬
ance to his works.
It is not easy to
say what allowance
should be made on this
account; but a moderate deduction
would bring down the figures to a
very close approximation
to our annual statement, which shows the
consumption of the

Before the war, the data were

easily obtained, and estimate -reached sufficiently accurate
for all practical purposes.
But, within the last four years^
the routes of transportation have so
materially changed that
former methods of estimating the consumption are no
longer
reliable. Very large amounts of cotton now
pass up the
Mississippi and over the railroads to the East, instead of, as
formerly, reaching that destination through ocean transpor¬
tation. This important change
has not been sufficiently taken
into account in late crop statistics, and the result has been
that until this year a large amount of cotton has not been
counted, and that the estimates of consumption at the North
and the South have been
very inaccurately proportioned, too
little being allowed to the North and too much to the South.
In fact, no wholly complete system of
reporting the cotton
transported inland has been established; so that the move¬
ment in that direction has had to
be, to a certain extent, made
up from quite uncertain data. In our last annual cotton
statement, however, we gave a result more nearly accurate
than has ever before been obtained; and as other statements
were deficient in this
particular branch of the movement, our
results varied from the figures of some who have been recogn’zed as authorities on cotton statistics. Taking into

placed the Southern consumption nt near 200,figures of 60,000 bales for the South, or 6f
per cent of the whole home consumption, were received with
much incredulity, even by those in the trade who have been
regarded as authorities ; we find, however, that returns from
the mills of both sections give the
proportion consumed in
the South as only 7£ per cent of the whole home con¬
sumption.
Upon the foregoing estimates it may be fairly concluded
that, for last year, the consumption at home averaged 17,500
bales per week.
Some Eastern authorities hold that

Taking
figures, and estimating the prob¬
able consumption for the current
year at 950,000 bales,
it would result,
assuming the crop .to be 2,700,000
bales, that we shall have for export about 1,750,000
bales, or abuot 90,000 bales more than the exports of
last year. For the years 1858-9 and
1859-60, the home
consumption averaged 950,000 bales; so that the cotton trade
has now recovered to an extent which
places it upon an
equality with the most active of former years. The increase
in the population of the
country of course requires a larger
supply of cotton goods than was needed in 1860; but, on
the other hand, a much larger
proportion of our cotton manu¬
factures is now kept at home, the exports being quite nomi¬
nal ; and this consideration is the more material from the
fact that the fabrics we formerly shipped were
chiefly of a
heavy character.

market

during the first half of the month was
excited and panicky, in sympathy with the condition of the money
market and the eccentric movements in Erie shares. A very sharp
li
corner ” in Erie was developed, under which the price advanced
to 54.
During this process it is supposed the Erie combination
succeeded in placing a large amount of stock upon the street. The
subsequent litigation caused the stock to be wholly neglected, and
the price declined to 35£, closing at 40. The. pressure in money
caused the failure of a large operator in the Milwaukee and St.
Paul’s stocks, with the result of a break in the common shares
from 97£ to 61. New York Central declined from 129£ to 115 ,

with the derangements in the money market, and with the efforts of

Early in the month FiveTwenties of 1862 fell to 106f, but subsequently recovered to 113§ ;

very heavily; but upon the return of the “ tied up ” currency into
recovered to 111-J, and closed at lit f.
Excepting Sixty-Twos, circulation there was a
rapid upward movement in prices, and at
the range of fluctuations has been 2£@3 per cent.

States, the war between Brazil aDd Paraguay, the armaments of France
and Prussia, the revolution n Spain, the poveity of Italy, the alarming
position of the Eastern question, the loss on tea, and the heavy fall in
the p ice of woo, are all calculated to produce great caution in the
minds of commercial men, and for that reason it may be urged that,
although trade may coutinue to develop itself, any rapid expansion of
it must not yet be expected to take place. The fine wheat crop has,
no doubt, given encouragement, but the hope that might

As those causes are in operation now,
quietness in trade must still be expected to prevail. The tendency to
improvement, so long apparent, mud still remain a tendency, and more
than a hand to m< uth business, until the Spring trade is
recommenced,
must not be anticipated.
Rather than being caused by an improvement in trade, the advance

without doubt, less satisfactory.
An increase in the trade demand for
money, and a rise in the quotations n consequence, would have denoted
a better state of things

Market.—The'^last bank statement was, on the
whole, unfavorable to ease. The loans
increased, during the week,
$>3,284,000, while in the deposits there was an increase of $3,308,000, and a decrease of $1,159,000 in
legal tenders; the result beiDg
a reduction of
$3,500,000 of the surplus reserve. The banks, not¬
withstanding, are in a position of unusual ease, for this season, and
the loan market has
consequently shown no hardening of rates.
There has been a
steady influx of currency from some of the West¬
ern cities
; but to others there has been an outflow
perhaps fully
equal. At most of the Southern ports,
exchange rules against New
York, owing to the large amounts of cotton bills
coining from that
section, and money is consequently going in that direction at the
rate of
probably not les3 than $3,000,000 per week. The SubTreasury a’so is steadily augmenting its currency balance by sales
of coin. From these
causes, the, banks are still losing legal ten¬

sharp attack from speculative sellers, and prices have
consequently yielded, at the lowest point, about ^ per cent from our
last quotatior s. Sixty.Two’s have been the
special object of assault,
aud at one time touched
110^-; under the apparent weakness of
the bonds considerable “ short ” sales were
made, producing a
scarcity of stock for delivery, under which the price reacted this
morning to 111-J-, tie bonds being at the same time low and “ flat.”
The old Sixty-Fives also have been
oversold, and to day were in
very active borrowing demand.
The list generally closes a fraction
below our last quotations. The speculative sales
appear to have
been made under a misapprehension of the
tendency of the market,
for the demand from the iuterior exceeds the
supply, and the same
may be said of the local trade, while the prospects of the money
market for the next few weeks favor ease, and the
approach of the
payment of the January interest may be expected to produce au
advance in prices. Upon these considerations, the
larger dealers
are accepting all bonds offered
by speculative sellers, and apparently
with a hope of being able to “ corner ” them.
As usual about this
season, there is a steady demand from banks and financial institu¬
tions for the employment of funds during the ease id
money which
usually sets in during January and continues until Spring.

grades of Rio Coffee are in abundant supply, and the
demand for these has been very light and prices weak, a decline of -£■
cent having resulted.
Prime Rio has been in good demand throughout
the week. Prices have been very firm, and holders are exceedingly tena¬
cious in their views for coffee of this description. The latest telegraphic
advices from Rio, received here early in the week, have not perceptibly
affected the market. The other kinds of coffee have been very quiet
with the exception of Maracaibo, in which a fair trade has been none.
Sales include 13,505 bags of Rio, 5,097 do of Maracaibo and 2,813 do

Scarcely anything has been done in foreign, sales having been con¬
mostly to New Orleans, at auction. Prices have been unsettled

coming forward more freely, purchases on still more favorable terms
