1. They are a first mortgage upon the longest and most important railroad in the country.

always represent a real value.
3. Their amount is limited by act of Congress to fifty million dollars on the entire Pacific
line, or an average of less than $30,000 per mile \

adaptation to the
style of warfare resorted to by the opposition. The com¬

agement previous to its passing into the control of the
present incumbents, which not only illustrates the piratical
fortunes of Erie, but also
helps us to judge of the real
object of the present proceedings against the management.
Among other things, it is alleged that two of the supporters
of the opposition suit,
having, in the Spring of this year
suffered from speculations in Erie, instituted
proceedings
against the Company, which were compromised upon a basis
that transferred to them $429,450 of the Erie
funds, enabled
them to sell to the Erie

of interest, or by exchange, with the consent of holders, for
to place funds presumed to be illegally procured beyond the
control of the party having acquired them; aud there are other bonds, upon a coin basis, on more favorable terms. In
our judgment it will be expedient for Congress to authorize a

This is sufficient to demonstrate that the “Hudson

their track, and have it in working order long before the bridge

--Outstanding Jane 30,

our

charter, accepted

by the stockholder*
the 31st of March, 1888, the board of
directors have made
prepar¬
ation for the issuance and sale of
the bonds
contemplated by the
amendment, and have caused to be executed a
mortgage upon
property of the company to secure the payment of the bonds the
interest, and are now offering for sale a limited amount of the and
bonds
in New York and Louisville.
It was the purpose of the

retiring board to sell the bonds only as the
proceeds were needed, for the preservation of the
objects contemplated by the amendment, and with thisproperty, and the
purpose steadilyadhered to by our successors ihe wisdom of
the amendment will
very
shortly be made practically obvious. The

property cost the company
certainly over $ 15,000,000,
with a mortgage debt
upon it less than two millions and a
half; and by
the proper use of the proceeds of the bonds
issued under the amend¬
ment in the
acquisition of additional property, the debt of the*
company
will not certainly increase more
rapidly than will the property increase
in amount and value, and it is believed that
much better than this
more

than

$18,000,000, and is

now

worth

may
be done for the company.
We have made
arrangements for the registration of our bonds, and
in such manner as will
protect the holders against loss by fire, theft, or
other casualty, and all
persons who may desire a safe
security for
themselves or others dependent
upon them, may accomplish this pur¬
pose by a purchase and proper registration of our bonds.
Our
company
is a home institution of
growing prosperity and undoubted solvency
and permanency, and will continue to increase in
value as the
country
continues to develop and
prosper.

confident feeling in stocks. There
appears to have been a freer
participation of outside operators in current speculations, and
although transactions have not been large, prices range very
gene¬
rally 2@4 per cent above our last quotations. The unsettled posi¬
tion of Erie affairs,
arising from the confused state of the curren*
litigation, has discouraged transactions in that stock, and with
nominal purchases the
price, at one time, touched 37$; to-day,
however, there has been some indication of a clique movement for
advancing the price, and the stock closes strong at 39@3ff§.‘ A
proposal has been raised in both boards of brokers to suspend calls
on Erie until the stock
register is placed in the hands of some res¬
ponsible institution for the free reference of stockholders; the
matter was referred to committee
by each board, and as yet no con¬
clusion has been reached ; opinion among brokers
appears to incline
to the conclusion that the
proposed rule should not be enforced on
Erie unless applied to all other stocks. Pacific Mail has
been
bought up freely, on an anticipation that the stock will return to
its former level, now that the
opposition line has been withdrawn.

provisions is almost entirely devoid of inter¬
Buyers for immediate delivery have largely

emptory wants require, while sellers, though not overstocked,
find it rather difficult to prevent some accumulation of
supplies.
With one or two unimportant exceptions,
prices have rather
a weak tone on
good, for immediate delivery, though there is
scarcely enough business doing to fully determine upon actual
values. Operations for future
delivery, at the moment, are
greatly restricted, owing in a great measure to the continued
light offerings; but, were desirable stock to be had, it is prob¬
able that a fair trade
might be consumated at full previous
rates at least, an advance
being generally asked. New
western prime mess pork, for immediate
delivery, may be
quoted at $22 50, and for future $21. Prime steam lard,
for January, 14fc. Bacon, for
January, ll^c. for Cumberland,
and 12£c. for short ribbed.
Beef has been more active.
Butter is dull; but cheese,^on the belief that
supplies are
only equal to the home demand, is held for a decided advance.
Hops are steady. Fish have advanced and are not plenty.
Tallow more active, at some decline.
Whiskey is steady.
Wool very quiet. Building materials'dull and
prices drooping.
Freights have been moderately active, and rates are without
essential change, except an advance for cotton to
Liverpool;
the steamers were
paid td.@fd. per lb. to-day,awd room taken
up for several days ahead. Vessels for charter are scarce, and
?s. per quarter has been
paid for grain to Cork, for orders.

Metals are without important movement, except an advance

Friday Evening,

in Rio coffee, of

The best business of the week has been

which sales of about 21,600 bags have been made from first
hands. In new crop green teas a skirmishing business

has

been done in the small lots thus

far received, via the Isthmus.

Sugar has continued to decline and closes with a dull prospect.
In molasses, the sales of New Orleans are the princial feature.
Imports of the week have included two cargoes of tea,

principally of Japans, besides 2,572 packages of European
importation. The receipts of Rio Coffee amount to 39,163
bags, chiefly at New York, but of other sorts of coffee imports
have been quite limited.
Cuba Box Sugar has not come in
as freely; shipments to the United States from Havana and
Matanzas, for the week ending November 21, were 5,847
boxes. Full details of the imports at the several ports for the
week, and since Jan. 1, are given below under the respective
heads.

prices for all the upper grades have been firmly held. The stock
of these descriptions is light, and this gives au additional steadiness to
the views of holders.
For the poorer qualities sratcely any inquiry has

reduced to bags.

al

Receipts from the interior, taking season
into consideration, have been quite moderate in the interval, say about
6,000 bags per day, which, however, is not attributable to any want of
the beau, but to planters keeping back supplies in view of the decline
in prices lately submitted to. The quality of this crop seems, to turn
out by no means satisfactory,the Coffees are in general of small uneven
beau and unclean.
Choice qualities are wanting almost entirely and
prices for same must be considered as nominal.
Our stock is now re¬
duced to 180,000 bags, and holders, in spite of the lasting unfavorable
news about the staple from abroad, persevere in their firmness in the
expectation that the suoplies will continue on a moderate scale. We

throughout the week past an unbroken decline in the
prices for raw sugars ; and the dulness of the market has kept
even
pace with its weakness.
Our quotations are
lower, and can
not be considered as very rigidly maintained at that.
Refiners
speak discouragingly of their ability to manufacture without loss at
even the reduced rates, and the trade are hardly in the market at all.
Altogether, the week closes, leaving the market with rather a clouded
prospect. Refined sugars are dull and lower. Sales comprise 954
hhds. Cuba, 344- do. Demerara, 175 do Porto Rico, and 1,195 boxes.
The imports of the week show a decrease from the previous week
in boxes, but a slight increase in hogsheads.
At all the ports the
receipts foot up 6 465 boxes,against 10,893—and 2 296 hhds., against
1,930 last week, making the total receipts to date 455,491 boxes and

. The principal cause for this favorable
change is found in the condition of the cotton market, which,
from a gradual yielding in prices, continued for several weeks
previously, has taken a sudden turn, and wiihin the past seven
days materially advanced. Stocks of goods in the country are
gaid to be generally small, and this fact also gives con¬
fidence to holders.
It is evident that the future prices
of cotton goods depend very much now upon the turn in the
market for the raw material, and we would, therefore, com¬
mend to the particular attention of our dry goods readers the
extended and thorough review of the cotton trade which is
given on a previous page. Woolen goods, with a few excep
tions, are very dull, and a disposition is shown on the part of

Some have been obliged t > ask for time, but others appear to be
holding off in hopes of being relieved by Congress, or in some other
way from the just debt, for which thej' have pledged their faith and
given bonds to the United States. Nearly two'thirds of the total
