Ihc whole so deeply engaged that
a few days cessation from business fails to make any impression upon them,
further than that they are more disposed to go on selling, provided they can
get sufficient time allowed them for delivery. The demand continues to be
chiefly for China and India, and for these markets a very large business has
been done latterly, so large, indeed, as to give rise to some apprehensions lest
they should be over done and become glutted with goods. Spinners have
bought fully up to their consumption this week, but continue to act with caution.
The imports have been good but not excessive, and a large amount of
cotton must still he at hand.
Good staple qualities remain comparatively
scarce, but there is now on the whole a good available stock in Liverpool, and
spinners are not alarmed about any scarcity for some time forward. This
market is. therefore,' liable to fewer fluctuations than has been the case for the
last few previous years, and this fact probably encourages shippers to go on
sending out goods, and take, their chance of foreign markets. Spinners and

The gradation and masonry of the Portland and Ogdensburg
Railroad have been vigorously pushed through the Winter all the way
between Portland and Fryeburg. The Winter was favorable for the
heavier parts of the work, and there is but little doubt that another
six months will find the entire road bed ready for the superstructure.
The track is to be laid for one-third of the above fifty miles by the
middle of July next, as per contract.

Louis, Alton & Terre Haute Railroad. — In an article

in the last number of the Chronicle, the

The Belleville and Southern Illinois Railroad, of which the
earnings
are now included in the
monthly statement, adds about 12 miles to the

previous length.
Panama

Road.-The New York

Times says:

“The changes
of trade between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the Orient have not seriously affected
the stock and prospects of Pacific Mail, but they touch very
nearly, if
not vitally, the Panama Company, whose shares have fallen from 280
per cent below 140 per cent, and whose dividends are reduced from 24
per cent per annum in gold to 16 per cent in currency.
In our long
experience in this column, which dates from the early progress of the
Panama Railroad, we have recorded the most astonishing fluctuations
in the stock.
In 1862 it was predicted that the completion of the

wrought by the Pacific Railroad ia the

difficulty with Eng¬

Stocks,

comprises all Companies of which the stock is sold in any of the
principal cities (except merely local corporations), or upon which dividends are paid.
Quotations are always given of the per cent value, whatever the par of the stock may
be.
The figures just after the name of the company indicate the No. of the CHRON¬
ICLE in wrhich a report ol the Company was last published.
A star (*) indicates
ou

make the stock worth more than 160 per cent. Two
years thereafter one or more of its leading promoters were compelled
to sell at 60 or 66
per cent.
The stock subsequently advanced to
more than 160
percent. In 1861, on the Trent

TABLES.

Other

529

course

land, it fell to 90@95 per cent. Since then it reached 330 per cent.
And now, since the
completion of the Pacific It dir,.a t, it has steadily

fallen from 226 to 140 per cent. In the meantime a renewal
charter from the New Grana liau Government, which
by

of the

tlie original
concession was to terminate in
twenty years after tbe completion of
the work, has been obtained for
r*inui) -nine >ears perpetuating a clause
in tbe contract that if the Darien
Ship Canal should be undertaken and
successfully prosecuted, the Panama Company wo uld be infilled fo
ample compensation for their exclusive privileg s of tran-it across the
Isthmus. The end of this remarkably history is yet to be written.
—1The following notices of our American
railway negotiations
appear in the London Economist: “ Messrs. Turner Brothers, of
Threadneedle street and New York, in conjunction with Messrs.
Hug¬
gins & B swell, of Threadneedle street, have issued a piospectus
inviting subscriptions to the first mortgage bonds fjr $5,000, 00 of the
Indianapolis, Bloomington and Western Railway of Imi ana and Illi¬
nois. The bonds are offered at tbe
price of £163 per $1,000. It is
stated that the road is completed with the exception "f about 35 rr
iles,
which is being proceeded with under contract, to be finished ou the
1st of June, and th it the present
earnings of the line are in e .cees of
the whole amount of interest on the
mortgage bonds, which is calcu¬
late 1 to earn the fitst year 1H per cent on tl.e
capital invested.
Messrs. Joshua Hutchinson Jr Son, of I hrogmorlcn s'reet, are author¬
ized by the President and Directors of the East Tennessee, v
irginii
and Georgia Railroad, and in virtue rf an ac‘ of tin* Legislature of
Tennessee, United States of America, to negotiate the sale of $3,900,000
in bon s to bearer of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Rail¬
road Company; secured by fir:l
mortgage on the complt ted line, 292
miles in length, and on the entire property and franchises of the Com¬
The number of bonds is 3,900, or $1,0(0, or £'00 each, issued
pany.
at £82 10s. per £100, and
bearing interest ut the into of t-ix per cent
per annum, payable in New York and London on the 1st of July and
the 1st of January in each year.
Redeemable at par in 1900, with
option to the Company to reepcem at the expiration of ten years.
Principal and interest payable in gold." And the following in the
London Times: “ Messrs. J. H. Schro ler & Co have invited subscrip¬
tions for £460,000 eight per cent gold bonds cf the State of Alabama
at 94£ (or 93f, reckoning allowances),
payable in instalments extend¬
in'? to the 15th of June.
The list is to close on Saturday fo- London
and on Monday for the country.
The existing ditect debt of Alabama
is only about £875,000, and as she meets her obligations with punctu¬
ality, and contrived to surmount honorably all the financial difficulties
occasioned by the war, her .-ecurities are regar led on this side without
disfavor.
The present issue represents the subscription i f the State
to the Alabama and Chattanooga Railway, which n to form a link in
the long line of communication between New York and New Orleans.”
—The subscription lists opened in London by J. S. Morgan & Co.,
for the first mortgage bonds ot the Illinois and St. Louis Bridge Com¬
pany, have been closed, the amount asked for having been successfully
negotiated. The bonds are for $4,000,000, beaiing interest at seven
per cent in gold, and are a first lien upon the bridge connecting St.
Louis with the various railroad lineB concentrating on the Mississippi
River opposite the city.

By the foregoing we see that the consumption per month thus
far has been 227,120 bales, which if continued at the same aver¬
age rate for the year would require 2,725,440 bales* or out of a
crop of 3,000,000 bales would leave 275,000 hales in increased
Consumed from Sept
Consumed per

stocks of American,at the end of the year.
There is one fact which we have not taken into consideration iff
the above calculation, and that is the difference in stocks held by
the mills at the two periods (Sept. 1 and April 14), because of the

uncertainty which exists on that point. English spinners are sup¬
posed to have diminished their stocks about-75,000 balers, while
American spinners claim that they have increased tlieir’s about
150,000 hales. On the continent, manufacturers probably hold
about the same they held Sept. 1.
Of course, if there is in the
aggregate any increase in stocks held by spinners, to that amount
the year’s consumption in the above calculation must be decreased,
and the surplus at the end of the season increased.
Still it should
he remembered that the average consumption for the past 74
months is not by any means, and for obvious reasons, an absolute
test of what it is to be

during the remaining 4j months.

appear to be that the movement in

the present
deficiency. The monsoon sets in about the 10th of
June, and lasts until about the middle of
July. Arrivals after the
monsoon at the
outports may still reach Europe
through the canal
before October 1st, so that
by the latter date it is not impossible
that this deficiency

MOLASSES.

The accumulation of the

distilling and inferior grades of foreign
goods has farther increased, and with no evidences of a demand
present or prospective, owners are at a loss as to what will be the
tiual disposition of their stocks.
Very low prices would be ac¬
cepted in order to effect rapid and free sales, but with much diffi¬
culty experienced in even drawing out a bid, values are somewhat
problematical. Refining grades of prime and choice quality have
sold to some extent, and at fair prices, but boilers evi ien'ly calcu¬

SPICES.

From first hands the sales have amounted to nothing, but the

jobbing dealers, who still control the bulk of the supplies, report
a
good steady demand, principally from interior millers and dis¬
tributors, and a strong uniform market for all goods. Cassia,
Prime Nutmegs, and Pepper are especially well sustained, and, on
the latter, some slight advance ha9 been obtained for desirable par¬
cels. Receipts only fair, and a goodly portion sold before arrival.

FRUITS.

The market, since the date of our last report, has been more
active, though prices, in many instances, show a furtLer slight
decline. Citron is the exception, being scarce, and, consequently,
held at firm rates. At the close, there U an increased demand
for all descriptions, but

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Friday, P. M.,

The

April 22, 1S70.

improvement in the general Dry Goods trade noticed
report has continued during this week, and more
evidently doing in the jobbing houses. There is
a good number of merchants in the city from the North,
West and Southwest, and they are beginning now to take
those go.ods which are actually needed to supply the demand
at their stores in the country.
Prices have not fluctuated
materially, and this has been favorable to business, as a steady
market is always encouraging to a healthy trade. The tone
of the market, both in foreign and domestic goods, is firm,
and the aspects before noted by us are not much altered, so
that there is more confidence among buyers, induced by the
opinion which they entertain that there is a good prospect
of firm prices for some time to come.
The cotton market continues to maintain its firmness, but
-as to the future
of cotton opinions are greatly divided, and
there seems to be little certainty about the course of prices,
■Gold has been pretty steady.

Brown Sheetings and Shirtings
improved with the general trade
during the week past, and sales have been made with more freedom,

though confined chiefly to small lots. The aggregate sales, however,
especially from jobbers’ hands, have been heavier than during any
previous week for some time. Thpse Bales have not been sufficiently
large to materially influence the t**ade in first hands, which is still
limited to the immediate
requirements. The standards remain firm,
and generally
unchanged, while the lower grades are in light demand,
and some
reductions

have

Prints have moved
steadily, the latest styles of nearly all makes
being in better request. The competition among manufacturers, for
the excellence of the
designs and execution of their respective goods,
has been instrumental in
placing upon the market some of the finest
styles of Prints over produced here. These

goods

being freely
placed by both jobbers and agents, and
prices for them are generally
fully sustained. The poorer grades are not in good request and, although
well cleared out of the
market, are still, in most cases, offered at con¬
cessions. Albion ruby 111, Aliens 11, do

Woolen Goods continue languid.
Agents have light supplies only
of spring goods, their receipts now being entirely of heavy
goods for
the Autumn trade. The season is not sufficiently a ivanced to create a

heavy tailoring demand, though jobbers report a better trade in pro¬
gress.
There may be a fair trade, but the prospect seems at present
to favor a dull, inactive season throughout.
Prices for all woolen
fabrics remain without important change, and in most cases firm.
Carpets are moving comparatively well, and the aggregate amount
of sales is apparently quiet satisfactory.
Prices are a trifle off for
eome makes, and the lower
grades are not in inquiry, except at lower
figures. Tap Brussels,$1 45 ; English Brussels, $2 05712 25 ; Roxbury

Foreign Goods have moved fairly throughout the week, there having
been a decided improvement in all imported fabrics.
This is more
especially the case with Dress Goods, for which there is a liberal inquiry,
and this, together with the limited stocks of many styles in the market,
has strengthened prices throughout, while some dress fabrics have been
advanced by importers fully 16 per cent.
This naturally serves to
stimulate traffic, and outmf-town dealers are stocking themselves more
liberally. Linens are improving in first hands toward the close of the
week, and the sales for the seven days are reported as fully up to ex¬
pectations.
