April, 1867, the company doubled their capital stock, and in*
payment therefor allowed 46 per cent., in addition to the 4 per cent*
cash dividend then paid. This plan was adopted as
compensation
to the stockholders for
earnings applied to construction since 1851
The other 50 per cent, of the new capital goes to the purchase, &c.
of the station property in St. John’s Park and the
improvement of
the road generally.
When the payments and purchase are com¬
pleted, the share capital will be about $14,000,000.

regards all good and fine qualities of wheat, much firmness has
prevailed, and in home grown produce an advance of Is. per quarter
has been established.
Millers, however, have operated with much cau.
tion, and as we are so near to tLe re-opening of the navigation in the
Baltic and elsewhere, it seems clear that the trade will c ntinue to pur¬
sue a cautious policy for some weeks to come.
In the present position
of affairs any abatement in price cannot be expected ; but the future
looks more satisfactory than for some time past. The period for winter,
sowing was, as I have mentioned before/extremely fav ruble, and at the

London, Saturday, February

The high price naturally encourages production, while
greatly reduced, they necessarily grow as much
as
they can, in order to replenish their barns. We are now approach,
ing the period for Spring sowing. In a changeable climate like this, the
future cannot be spoken of with the slightest degree of certainty.
Suffice it to say, then, that the winter has been a mild one, and, although
during the last two weeks the days have been bright and warm, the
nights have been sufficiently cold to check the growth of wheat and of
other plants. This is a favorable circumstance, and it is to be hoped
that the weather will be sufficiently severe so a9 to prevent vegetation
from getting too forward. The farmers in Essex and Kiut, two of our
leading wheat growing counties, speak favorably of the growing crops.
There is no doubt that a good wheat crop, and also a good potato crop
are required to set commercial affairs
in motion, for the progress
towards recovery is, even after two years from the failure of Overend’s*
slow in the extreme.
Our imports contiuue good for the time of year
and will now increase. Annexed is the weekly statement of ship"
ments since the 1st of September, 1867, compared with 1866-7.

As

farmers stocks

are

22,1868.

important feature of the present week is the excitement in
the cotton market, resulting in an advance in prices amounting to Id
to l^d. per lb.
The diminished stocks here, and the apprehension that
our future
supplies will be insufficient to meet the demand, are the chief
causes of the animation which has prevailed ; but, at the same time,
many are of opinion that the advance which has been established is too
great. Hence, there ha9 been some anxiety respecting this branch of
our commerce.
So long as prices were falling, and the market was de.
pressed, we did not hope for a revival of business. The extraordinary
excitement of the Liverpool market has now, to some extent, had a
similar effect, business having been conducted on cautious principles i n
most other departments of trade.
It is clear, however, that cotton
must continue to rule firm.
The stock in Liverpool aud London is

^Although there has been a slight tendency to improvement, the tone
and position of the money market remain extremely quiet. That the
rates have reached their lowest point is clear, but that money is to be¬
come dear in consequence of the prevailing active demand for goldand of improving trade, is not so certain as some would suppose. As
regards the export of bullion the movement in this department cannot,
in reason, be looked upon as a matter of surprise, or as a cause for
alarm. For many months our supply has been very largely in excess
of our requirements, and hence any diminution which may take place
in that over abundant supply is necessarily a relief to our money
market. The incubus is removed, the tone of the money market
becomes more healthy, and prices rise. A tising money market is
looked i pon by many as unsatisfactory. When the advance is above
five per cent., it may, with more reason, be thought so ; but at present
higher quotations charged for accommodation indicate simply an improv¬
ing condition of affairs, and, to some extent, recovering trade, For
maDy months bankers have been unable to employ their surplus balan¬
ces, and have even discounted bills at 1 and 1^ per cent.
Latterly»
however, the rates have improved about f per cent, yet the open mar¬
ket maximum is still £ per cent beneath that of the Bank of England
It follows, therefore, that an improvement equal to 25 per cent must
take place in the open market rates of discount before we can expect
the Bank rate to be advanced to a higher point. Improving trade and
an export of gold are calculated to enhance the value of money, but
with tbe exception of cotton, in which there has been continued excite¬
ment, trade improves at a very gradual, and almost imperceptible pace^
while the export of gold has, during the last few days, subsided to an
extent which will only absorb our imports from Australia, the United
States and from other quarters, as they are received.
The rates for
money, so far as the best descriptions of paper are concerned are sub¬
joined *.

—There has been, daring the last few

days, a partial relaxation of the stringent tendencies in money
developed last week ; and although rates on call loans continue at
5@6 per ceut. Ih re is more done at the lower figure.
The last statement of the A sociated Banks showed a loss of
$2,3l5,0o0 in legal tenders and a decrease ot $525,000 in loans
and of $443,000 in deposits. The loss of legal tenders appears to
have been largely due to the Sub-Treasury having paid out largely
in Bank currency instead of greenbacks. The loss of a1"out six
millions of legal lenders in February, a period when money is about
to accumulate here, apoears to be due to the exceptional movement
in breadstuff's at the West.

Increase this year

foregoing table shows an increase in the receipts for the
week of 33,962 bales this year compared with the same period
of 1867. Our telegraphic advices to night indicate a falling
off in the receipts, so that our total for next week will be about
ten or twelve thousand bales less than that given to-day
Complaint is made, we see, of low water in the Red River
region and elsewhere, which is affecting unfavorably the
arrivals at New Orleans. Late rains are reported however,
but whether to the extent necessary to make all the rivers
navigable we do not learn. The exports continue large, and

In this table, as well as in our general table of receipts. &c., we deduct
from the receipts at each port for the week all received at such port fr om other
Southern ports. For *nstancel each week there is a certain amount shipped
from Flor da to Savannah, which in estimating the total receipts must be de¬
ducted as the same shipment appears in the Florida return. We are thus par¬
ticular in the statement of this lact as some of our readers fail to understand it*

excited and unsettled mar
ket, and so closes to-day. On Saturday last, late in the day^
a
large speculative movement set in, and the price of middling
Uplands was quoted at an advance from 22 to 23c. On
Monday the legitimacy of this advance was disputed, 9ome
quoting at 22@22£c., and others adhering to 23c. But on
Wednesday the accounts from Liverpool of an improvement
in that market to the extent of a half penny determined the
contest in favor of the operators for a rise, and the market at
once advanced to 25c., but the close was weak last night, and
to-day, under a pressure to sell, there were some transactions
at 24£c.; but the ruling quotations this evening remain tbe
same as yesterday.
The market has been almost entirely in
the hands of speculators, spinners buying sparingly, and ship¬
pers confining their attention largely to lots in transit. The
sales of the week foot up 48,503 bales, of which 3,646 bales
were taken by spinners, 25,049
bales on speculation, 19,808
bales for export, and of which 9,09t> bales were in transit
The following are the closing quotations:

TEA.

The market has been

pretty steady for the several kinds, with the
exception of Japans, which have been sold at rather easier prices, and
induced by that circumstance, considerable transactions have taken
place. New crop Greens, first quality, have been most wanted, and
are
quite firm in price. Sales of thf week have embraced about 5,820
i&lf-cbests Oolong, 12,888 do. Japans, and 5,210 do. Greens.
The imports of tne week have included five
cargoes by the following
vessels—“ Burnside,” “ OusnriJ” and “ Resolute” from
Shanghae ; “ War¬
ren Hastings” from Foochow, and “ N. B. Palmer” from
Amoy. The

(St. Anthony’s Nose) near Peekskill to the opposite shore, we give
the following official figures: cl-ar
span 1,600 feet, length between
tow*ers 1,665 feet, total
length including approaches 2,499 feet;
elevation above high water 155
feet; working safe load 2.400 tons,
total safe load 5,280 tons, load that would break the
bridge 25,161
tons; bridge will carry at one time 32 passenger cars; bridge would
safely carry 34,060 people, and a train of 60 cars if they could bn on
it at one time; 53 locomotives and
18,000 people would fill it; there
are to be 20 cables in

total suspended weight 9,651 tons;

The Michigan Southern guar
preferred are the only stocks so

provided that we now call to mind. Usually preferred stocks de¬
pend on the results of tne year’s earnings, and if dividends are once
passed there is no further claim for ultenor payment. They can
only recover if a surplus, after paying operating expenses, interest,
etc., remains, and they simply have a priority of the common stock.
In so far, therefore, these cumulative dividends are in
favor of the
holder, but, on tne other hand, they may create difficulties in the
administration of companies, and become a material drawback in
the value of the
ordinary stocks, as instanced in Michigan Southern
guaranteed, the deferred dividends on which have hung like an incu¬
bus around the necks of the
general stockholders, and more than
once prevented their
receiving a legitimate share of the profits made
on their road.
