STEM TOWER FOR THE A bill is so CANALS. 391 capitalists who may be invited to assist in organizing a com¬ pany for its practical application to the movement of the canal traffic. There are, however, several objections to it in its present form, the chief among which is found in the fact that it proceeds upon a total misconception of the conditions which are really indispensable to the successful application of mechanical power to the movement of the tonnage of the canals. From a long study of, and a somewhat intimate acquaintance with the subject, we are convinced that what is needed is not steam propulsion but steam traction; in other words, not some ingenious device by which each boat can be made self-propelling, but some form of tug which can draw a train of boats, say five or six, at an average speed of from three to five miles an hour. This is the problem which must be solved, and until its solution is reached it will not be possi¬ ble to dispense with those relics of antiquity, the tow-path, the mule team and the driver. The condition under which steam is to be applied to the movement of canal freights are, and must ever remain, the same as those under which it is applied to the movement of railroad freights—namely, the largest possible traction power with the smallest possible consumption of fuel. It will be readily understood by any one even superficially acquainted with the subject of railroad transportation, that if it were ne¬ cessary to apply power to the movement of each freight car separately, the cost of carrying freights would be increased ten, and in some instances twenty-fold. Not only would each car have a reduced capacity in proportion to the space occu¬ pied by its machinery, but each would require a skilled en¬ gineer to manage it; and the wages of the engineer, together with the consumption of fuel and oil, and the wear and tear of machinery, would necessitate so great a charge per ton per mile on the freights carried in it, that cartage over common roads would be found cheaper, even for long distances. Much pending in the Legislature at Albany which accomplishment of important practical results, and' which, with the modification of certain objectionable features, should become a law without unnecessary delay. Its ol ject is to encourage the invention of some piaetical means of the same results would attend an experiment with propelling applying steam power to the movement of canal tonnage, machinery on the canals, if each boat were to be made to run and to this end it authorizes the State Treasurer to pay the by a power of its own, however ingenious the method of its sum of one hundred thousand dollars to the owner of any application. patented plan by which canal-boats may be propelled by Again, the canal is now fully equipped with tonnage.

But even sisting of Messrs. George B. McClellan, E. S. Prossner, Van supposing this original obstacle overcome, is it probable that R. Richmond, George Geddes, W. S.

Felt & Co., Pub¬ lishers, No. 445 Broome street. This code is the invention of Major Frank Bolton, late instructor of army signalling at the school of engineering in England, and is very elaborate and claimed to be quite simple and easily understood, and so perfectly arranged as to save from 50 to 400 per cent of the regular cost of telegraphing by ordinary messages, Messrs. C. F. Varley, Cyrus W. Field and William Thompson state in regard to this code, that they have witnessed several trials of Bolton’s system of cod¬ ing messages, transmitted through the Atlantic cable, first by the Morse Alphabet in full, and then codified. The messages have been correctly transmitted, and the time occupied in doing so through the cable has shown a saving in favor of Bolton’s Code, for messages of ordinary character, varying from 50 to 400 per cent according to the nature of the message. —A new AGENTS OF NATIONAL HANES, CHANGES IN THE REDEEMING National The following are the changes in the Redeeming Agents of Banka since the 23d of March, 1871.

An amendment had proposed, but at a late hour last night the leader of the opposition suggested that it should be withdrawn. Mr. Glad, stone, however, insisted that it should be negatived without a division ; and although Col. Loyd Lindsay offered to withdraw it the Premier carried his point. The discussion, protracted as it hag already been, has ap to the present time been confined chiefly to the advantages and disadvantages of purchase. The advocates o^ the system contend that as the British army has done great things been [April 1, 1871. purchase, matters should remain as they are. The opponents system, while admitting that in the past the British officer has fought bravely, argue that he will be more efficient and equally brave with its abolition. So great bas become the neces sity of rendering these islands secure and proof against surprise with of the that it has been found imperative to remodel our whole military system, and in undertaking this, the Ministers of the Crown have found out that the system of purchase which prevails in nearly regiment of the British army blocks the way to reform The sanction of Parliament has therefore been found necessary to remove what the Ministers, and it must be added the majority every of consider to be an abuse. The British army, indeed can scarcely be called, at the present moment, the army of the nation, although paid for by it. It is more the army of the officers who retire and change about almost as they please, and traffic in commissions with a desire for gain. If purchase is abolished, as it most certainly will be, (for if the Ministers are defeated in Par¬ liament, they will make an appeal to the country, and will, in all probability, return with a large majority), the British army will be open to all young men who desire to make war a study, and to make themselves as proficient as a time of peace will allow in all the details of a campaign. There may be fewer of the monied class in it, but it is not money that is wanted, but brains and in¬ dustry, for the wars of modern times are carried on by scientific rules, and not alone by bravery. The weapons of destruction now in use have altered materially the tactics of warfare, and it is with a desire of modernizing our system, and of keeping pace with the times, that the Ministers are urging upon the Crown the aboli. tion of purchase. There can, indeed, be little doubt of the fact that the present Parliament will authorize the change. The lead¬ er of the opposition in the House of Commons, if leader he may now be called, has not opposed the proposed change, and only objects to the bill on the ground that it does not make enough soldiers. That, however, is a portion of the bill which can be amended in committee, and the number of our soldiers can be easily augmented if Parliament desires it. The object of the Gov¬ ernment is to render our army both efficient and economical, and augment year by year the number of men trained to bear arms. One would think that after the slaughter of last year, we should remain at peace for the next few years, and if there should be any elements of success in the new bill, a marked change in our mili¬ tary position would by’ that time have been effected. The whole of our armaments are now being very largely increased and per fected, and our dock-yards and arsenals have not shown so much activity* since the Crimean war. The tax-payer will he anxious to know how much all this will cost, and what will be his share of the burden. We shall know what the next income tax will be in the course of a few days. The trade of the country is quiet, there being but little specula' tion in any department. Taken altogether, however, a firmer tone is apparent, and as the winter has almost, if not quite, passed away, an active trade in spring goods will soon be carried on. There have been large arrivals of cotton at Liverpool this week, but the market has improved and prices are higher. The export demand has considerably improved of late, and this year the ship¬ ments from Liverpool have been 153,848 bales, being double the quantity sent away in the corresponding period last year. Large quantities of cotton were sent here from Havre whilst the war was in progress, and as the mills in France are now being re-opened as quickly as circumstances will admit, a decided increase in the export movement must naturally be expected to take place. A telegram received from Havre, this week, mentions that a small supply—1,337 bales—of cotton was afloat from the United States to that port. This is a feature which one is glad to see, and it is to be hoped that it will be backed up by larger quantities, and be the means of giving employment to a large proportion of the French people. The following relates to the trade of Manchester : Within the last two days this market has assumed a firmer tone, and buyers have found the tendency of prices going against them. ' Several circumstances have contributed to bring about this result. In the first place, confidence wo pretty general that prices last week were upon the whole moderate, wnic caused producers to adhere rather firmly to their quotations, even in in absence of business. Then the large arrivals of cotton were counteracteoiu great measure by spinners being tempted to buy cotton .freely, owing Jr 1 choice afforded them by the large stock offered for sale; and again, so lar information has reached us this week, the receipts of cotton at tne Amer ports have shown at last a decided falling off, which has given n?.orecP^f^ .,n the country, satisfaction felt a combined to give a and the ai p have been arresteu^ last week s .rat said m favor y improvement which has taken place, and the tone of the market to- y certainly not been any better than it was yesterday. Buyers see no argu in the future to warrant them in paying any decided advance on „n(j scale of prices. Almost all foreign markets are well supplied with go , an advance in prices would place a serious obstacle iu the way of sett g to holders. These causes, in conjunction with the increase being made in the bank rate of interest, have ter tone to the market. The downward tendency of last week tion which then prevailed to anticipate lower prices in some departments of the market even an advance on been obtainable.

As soon as the Government obtains large subscrip¬ tions in the United States, the scheme is likely to be followed up more readily here.

In Virginia the funding bill has become a law, authorizing tlie funding of two-thirds of all the bonds and interest due up to July 1, 1871, in six and five per cent bonds respectively, and the issuing of certificates of indebted* uess for the other one-tliird, which will be settled when the ques¬ tion of dividing the debt is decided between Virginia and West Virginia ; the old bonds have advanced on this to 73|, and the new to ,714, although the latter have more coupons to be funded than the others. Tennessees have also been strong on the im¬ proved prospects in that State. New South Carolinas have sold down to 59£@59-$ on the reports of threatened resistance to the collection of taxes in the State in consequence of the oppressive rates to which they have been raised. One of the rumors of the inarket, however, states that some of these proceedings in the State have been designedly organized for effect on the price of bonds, and tlie treasurer of Richland County, now in this city, states that the taxes are coming in well and are already threequarters or seven-eights paid. From New Orleans we hear of a meeting of prominent citizens to protest against any increase in the State debt beyond its present figures, viz.: $25,000,000, to which it is limited by an amendment to the State constitution.

The Gold Market.—Gold has been lower the prospect of negotiation of the Government loan and the possibility that a large amount may be thrown on the market in April by Secretary Boutwell. Upon this idea a large short interest was created which -was partially covered by some con¬ siderable purchases at the recent decline. There is, however, a pretty large short interest still outstanding, and if the Treasury programme for April should be no different from that of March, as there are some indications that it may not be, an upward turn in the market would not be improbable. 4 The mercantile demand continues to be large, customs receipts for tlie week amounting to $3,621,000. Exports have not been considerable compared with last/week’s, which exceeded $1,500,000. At the Treasury sale of $1,000,000 on Thursday, bids reached the largo sum of $4,122,000. Rates for carrying gold have ranged from “ flat” to 3 per cent, and to-day 1 and 2 per cent for carrying and “ fiat” for borrowing. 4 Tlie following table will show the course of the gold premium each day of the week past: on the successful —Quotations.— LowClosHigh- N Opening.

The slight falling off above referred to was hardly an indication of any tendency toward easier prices, but was merely a fluctuation induced by the high range in rates which had naturally checked the demand for bills. Some of the leading drawers purchased freely of the better class of outside bills offering, and tlie supply being thus taken up, they again advanced their own rates to 109£. The good borrowing demand for gold lias also prevented holders from purchasing exchange with their gold, when it could be Foreign loaned to advantage. From £50,000 to £75,000 loan of the Pennsylvania has been drawn against the sterling Railroad Company, whose bonds are negotiated in London from time to time as the money is required. Apart from the considerations above mentioned the tone of the market has been one of hesitation, and buyers are waiting to see the course of gold and of the United States Loan. The exports of cotton from all ports amount to 111,000 bales, worth about $0,961,929 in gold, at current prices, against 72,525 bales in same week of 1870, producing then $6,850,711 in gold, with Middling Uplands at 23c., and gold at 112.

The Wheat market has been fairly active for export, with some milling demand. A better supply of the finer grades of amber Winter Wheat, received by rail, has weakened prices for that variety ; but Spring and white Wheats have ruled very firm. A considerable eastward movement by rail has commenced from the West, but with light stocks on the seaboard prices are not affected thereby. To-day Spring Wheats were higher, with large sales at $1 56@1 61 in store and afloat, mainly for export, but Winter Wheats were lower, with sales of choice amber at $1 68 afloat We also notice the sale of 30,000 bushels No. 2 Spring to arrive by rail at $1 53 afloat. Corn has come forward freely by rail, and prime new mixed sold in the first half of the week as low as 82c., but with a revival of export demand, and the Liverpool quotation advanced 3d ; the close is very active at 83@83^c. for new mixed, afloat. Oats have been active and higher, but to-day the market was dull, and part of the late advance was lost. Rye remains quiet and unchanged Barley has sold quite freely, but at the close the demand seemed to have subsided fpr the present. Canada Peas are unsettled and nominal.

Jobbers, very naturally, will not commence handling stock with any freedom until they can see some chance of selling it again, and this chance, just at the moment, appears remote, as interior buyers are extremely chary of their orders, both personal and by mail.

The small receipts and scarcely any parcels offering from wharf, and the goods in store displayed with moderation have given holders a great advantage iu maintaining their position, and some have assumed quite an indifferent tone about operating, especially as refiners were securing a good margin between the price of the raw and manufactured Sugar. There could not, however, be said to prevail any decided buoyancy, and at no time did we hear complaints from buyers of their inability to secure about all the goods required, while evidences were not wanting that many sellers con¬ sidered the safest plan to accept all full aids as soon as made. The receipts now certainly are small, but a change of wind '-for a few days may make a great difference in this respect, while nearly all the refiners have not only bought freely but some to the full extent of their storage room, and finding the refined article already selling with less freedom, are inclined to move with greater caution in making purchases. Old and new crops now sell closely together, with fined cured lots of the latter frequently commanding the higher figure. Refined have sold irregularly, but without much activity in the aggre • gate, and values rather favored the buyer, the production of some grades ex¬ ceeding the outlet and stocks accumulating.

The cause is to be traced to the continued delay in the development of the interior demand and consequent indifference on the part of job¬ bers about stocking up until they can see an outlet for their goods. Speculation does not appear to be thought of and movements are now based entirely upon the legitimate law of supply and demand^ every day showing an extreme spirit of caution among all opera¬ tors.

THE 412 CHRONICLE. Beown Sheetings THE DRY GOODS TRADE. 81. 1871 There has been no important change in the trade since our last as at that time. much the same nearly all cotton Prices have been declining on complete the revision begun earlier in the month, and more settled at the close, though there are still sev¬ eral makes of different goods which are yet to be marked down. The trade has been more evenly distributed among the large and small jobbing houses, and the latter are doing a more satisfactory business. The aggregate distribution continues considerably in excess of that of the same period last year, and jobbers generally express satisfaction with the season’s business, thus far. The Western and near-by trade are well represented in the market* and are buying with fair freedom, though purchasers, as the rule, display marked caution, and few large lots are placed. There are very few small Southern buyers in the market, as these dealers are purchasing comparatively small amounts, and are buying mostly on mail orders. Large Southern dealers are also limiting fabrics to the market is their purchases to such amounts as will meet their requirements during the early part of the season, but the aggregate movements to this section are fair, and the cautiousness displayed by buyers is considered a very favorable feature by dealers here. Collections are easy in most sections, and the trade appears to be in a healthy condition, with the prospects favorable for a satisfactory season’s business and comparatively few losses. Domestic Cotton Goods.—The demand for all classes of cot¬ goods suited to the current wants of the trade has been fair, although individual purchases have been small, the aggregate movement is very satisfactory. Prices have been reduced in a few makes of medium count brown and bleached goods, and Lonsdales have also been marked down $c. This will, it is thought, cause a decline in other makes of similar grades, which are now held at 15$@16c., but as yet no other changes have been made. Prints are fairly firm, and are selling well, the supply of desirable patterns in light work being unusually smalhfor this season of the year. Colored cottons are unsettled, but the list of prices so far asjrevised is firm, while other quotations are chiefly ton and nominal. Domestic Woolen Goods.—The trade with agents has not spirited since our last report, as jobbers generally^ been very though doing fair trade, do not find it necessary to canvas the yet for. second purchases. Light weight fancy cassi" meres are selling well, while jobbers and agents hold unusually light stocks of all grades. Cloths sell fairly, but are not in very active request either with agents or jobbers. Quotations are stiffly maintained, however, and there is no apparent prospect of a break this season. Heavy weight woolens are in better demand, but the transactions remain light in consequence of the high prices at which the limited stock is held. Shawls and other light wooolen fabrics are selling freely, and prices are well sustained. market a as Foreign Goods—This department of the market is without notable change in any particular. Trade is fair, and in the aggre* gate is considerably in excess of a corresponding period last year. Dress goods of British and Continental makes in good demand, and desirable effects are well sold up. Prices are fully maintained, and are advancing in the European markets, but no change is likely to occur here before the close of the season. The firm tone is favorable for trade, however, as buyers have more confidence in the stability of the market and purchases are liberal, though but little in excess of the current requirments of the trade. Prices are too low to admit of much profit to importers, in consequence of the competition among them, but in view of the increased sales it is thought that the result of the season’s business will be fairly profitable. The same complaints of competition and low prices are made in all departments of the foreign market, but with this exception trade is in a very satisfactory condition.
