On the other hand, our ability to ship bonds has supplied an element of elasticity in our foreign exchanges without which we might have incurred an exhaustive drain of gold, indefinitely post¬ poning the recovery of the specie basis and producing panic and a protracted prostration of business. It is very com¬ monly urged that the fact of such a large amount of our securities being held abroad exposes us to a sudden drain of gold, through their return upon the outbreak of panic or in Europe or at home. It is quite certain that such occurrences might for the time seriously affect the value of securities; but they would be returned here only in the event of prices being highest in the home market—a condi¬ tion of things which would not continue after the amount of bonds returned was such as to seriously endanger the equili¬ gance and inflation, These which tend to work out their own temporarily suspended. A fresh supply of natives having been recruited from the surrounding country, the work was once more started. To sustain the force, how¬ ever, it was necessary to procure laborers from every part of the world—Irishmen, Coolies, Chinese, English, French, Ger¬ mans and Austrians, amounting in all to over seveu thousand men. With this force it was supposed that the time required to complete the work would be in a ratio propotionate to the numerical increase of laborers, all of whom were believed to be able-bodied men. It was found, however, that many of these people, from previous habits and modes of life, were war totally unsuited to the woik for which they were engaged. The Chinese, one thousand of whom had been imported by our the company, were greatly depended on, and every arrange¬ ment was made for their health and comfort. But, notwith¬ standing the careful treatment they received, they became disaffected in less than a month, a large proportion of them brium of our foreign exchanges. ending their lives by suicide, and the remainder becoming of For the foregoing reasons we are inclined to regsrd our little use as workmen.

The reason for this is and with increased facilities on the Isthmus road and lower that vessels would not only have to be towed through the freights, the necessity fora canal wrould be greatly diminished. canal, but before they could he fairly started on their voyage the Pacific it would be necessary to tow them at least two hundred miles out to sea.

During the greater part of the year this is a region of perpetual calms, or light hafiling winds, that are too fitful and uncertain to be relied on by shipmasters. To avoid this it is necessary for vessels following the coast from Cape Horn to San Francisco to keep at least 200 miles at free from wind available for sea to avail themselves of the Northeast and winds.* This fact renders the Southeast trade port of Panama far better Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, which at the a working length of 770.60 miles, at the close of 1808 was running no less than 800.09 miles, an increase during the year of 30.09 milts.

The practical question arises, therefore will it pay for any company of private individuals, or for any single government to undertake the work. It ap¬ pears to us that it will not. Besides, we already have a rail¬ road across the Isthmus, and expect within a few months io see our own Pacific road completed, thus again uniting the two oceans. The building of the canal would certainly be a magnificent project, but with this grand highway across our own country, is it a plan upon which our government or peo¬ ple can look with very great interest as promising sufficient benefit to them to warrant the necessary outlay?

The neg<-t at ions on these points are now being cairied on in this city, but have not yet been definitely settled.

Fruits are doing a little bet¬ ter. Hops have been unchanged. Hay is more steady at the decline. Whiskey has ruled dull, notwithstanding the restrictions upon production.

Pork and Lard are the articles moving most freely ; but Meats, etc., finding little oi no favor with either the do¬ mestic or export trade, or as likely to afford any margin for speculative movements5. The supply of Beef is still accumu¬ lating, with no counteracting increase of the demand, and holders are disposed to offer pretty liberal terms to any buy¬ ers who will relieve them of a portion of the surplus stock. Prime grades are not plenty, however, and these continue to command pretty full figures. Butter and Cheese unchanged. Hid es and Leather have ruled very firm, with a good business. The decline in gold causes the “gold price” of Hides to tend upward. There have also been large sales of Goat Skins. The movement in liosin for export has been very large, stimulated by easier prices and lower freights ; the sales being mostly at 82 50 for good strained.
