The recent ad vance in the Six Per Cent Gold Bonds of the
Central Pacific Railroad Co. to a premium above par, affords
an illustration of the popular demand both in this country and
Europe for reliable six per cent securities having a long and fixed
time to run, and paying a fair rate of interest on their cost; and
it further shows that the first mortgage bonds of honorably
managed railroads, when known and appreciated, will command
public confidence, and must to a large extent take the place of the
Government Five-Twenties (as the latter are purchased or called
in by the Government), and thus command higher prices than

There is, however, a
considerable short interest, as indicated by the rates for gold

as high as 1-64 per day for borrowing and
flat ” to 3 per cent for carrying. To-day, rates were 1 per. cent
for carrying and flat, 2, 3, and 1-64 per day for borrowing.
The customs receipts of the week have been $2,951,000. Pay¬

irregular and excited, and after a decline of more or less
importance on nearly the whole list, was again rallied, and closed
at prices generally a little below those quoted in our last report.
On Saturday 22d, and early on Monday, prices reached the highest
point, but under the influence of large sales, a break occurred, and
was further assisted the next day by a
large decline in Northwest
Common, which sold down then to 83$. Subsequently there was
new
strength developed on the “ hull” side, with a recovery in
prices, which was again followed by a marked decline and almost
panicky tone on Thursday, but another material improvement
to-day.
It will thus be seen that the market has been very irregular,
seeming to be alternately on the point of a rapid decline, or an
equally sudden advance. The fluctuations of the week on some

The

principal point of discussion in regard to these irregularities
in the market has
been as to their cause, it being doubtful whether
the break which occurred was the
beginning of an important down

w£rcl movement produced by the “ unloading” of cliques, or
r ^ Wa8and
a determined attempt to shake out the stocks of
weak holders,

Exchange.—During tlie early part of the week
slightly easier feeling, and although rates were

a

quoted as previously at 109£@110, bills could be

obtained more frequently at tlie lower price.
To-day tlie market
■was firmer and some leading drawers advanced tlieir rate to 110-fc
for 60 days sterling, and 110$ for short sight.
There have been very few outside bills, and we have beard of
the best class of these drawn by a Southern bank selling up to

109f.

Some irregularity in tlie cotton market, and an advance in

several grades has bad an unsettling effect, and prevented in some
cases the execution of orders for shipping, and decreased to that
extent the supply of cotton bills.
As a natural result of the high rates of exchange, the volume
of business transacted lias been limited and the specie exports
have been large, amounting up to date this week to $1,341,000,
with the prospect of an export of $1,500,000 more to-morrow,

The entire issue of our new First

Mortgage Bonds, bearing 8
interest, and payable 1st September, 1899, was 1,640 of
$500 each, or $820,000, of which 1,546, or $773,000, have been
issued in redemption of the past due bonds and coupons, and
interest thereon, leaving on hand 94 bonds, or $47,000, to* take
up those which were then outstanding.
In determining the
amount of this issue, no provision was made in it for the interest
which had accrued on our outstanding coupons (as no such
demand was anticipated), and hence the charge to profit and loss
of this liability, amounting to $23,637 50.
On the 28th February,
1871, there were unexchanged 63 old bonds, but the number has
since been reduced to 40, or $20,000, leaving on band at this date
71 bonds, or $35,000, applicable to the retirement of those still
out, say $40,000, and our Real Estate Bonds, say $28,000. In the
liquidation of this interest upon interest, we have been compelled
to use a portion of the bonds intended to have been substituted
for the latter, which deficiency, when required, must be supplied

per cent

from other sources.
The entire issue of our new second

mortgage bonds, also bearing eight per cent interest and payable 1st September, 1899, was
644, of $500 each, or $322,000, of which 195, or $97,500, have been
issued in redemption of the past due bonds, coupons and interest
thereon; 88 of them, or $44,000 in exchange for preferred stock;
222 of them, or $111,000, have been deposited with the trustees of
the latter, and the balance, 139, or $69,500, are on hand for the
redemption of that number which are still outstanding.
The amount of second mortgage bonds originally issued was

$300,000, of* which $145,000 were sold; the remaining $155,000
subsequently pledged and deposited with trustees, as a
security for a corresponding amount of preferred stock. This
preferred stock is then virtually a substitute for that amount of
second mortgage bonds.
As the bonds of which it is the representative now bear the
same rate of interest, there was no valid objection to the reconver¬
sion of this stock into bonds when so desired by its holders; and,
accordingly, we have always complied with such requests. The
preferred stock has the single advantage over the bonds of being
registered and transferable on the company’s books; but many
prefer to forego this, for the convenience of collecting their inter-#
est by coupons, and the greater facilities of sale, transfer, etc.
Of the general prospects of the company, we have only to
remark that they are in a great degree dependent upon the com¬
pletion of projected roads and such other improvements in our
connections as have been alluded to in the foregoing reports; and
not until the field of our operations can be extended by them
may we expect the remunerative results which should then be

tendency to increase the shipping inquiry while the demand to
supply maturing contracts has been sufficiently active to absorb
i,he offerings.
For future delivery there has been great activity,
and the same influence operating to advance the quotations lor
spot cotton has carried up the price for April to 15c. for Low Mid¬
dling, while for all the later months there has been a decidedly
cautious tendency manifested, induced by the losses which
the short interest has incurred during the week.
Low Mid¬
dling closed to-night at 14£c. for April; 14$c. for May; 14ic. for
June; and 14£c. for August.
The total sales of this de¬
scription for the week are 68,900 bales including 000 free on
board.
For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
19,964 bales including 6,553 for export; 2,519 for consumption
8,440 for speculation; and 2,452 in transit. Of the above 1,225

feeling noted in this market at the date of our last review, appears
slowly gaining ground and the trade generally now speak quite hopefully
of the position and seem to think Teas have seen their worst for this season.
Buyers certainly are not. quick or even remarkably free operators, but the call
is large enough to keep a considerable amount of stock moving, and present
indications point to an increase rather than a falling oft’of the demand. There
is sonic little difficulty experienced in getting Japans into uniform shape again
and these show rather an unsettled tone, but. Oolongs are steady, as a rule,
while Greens are well sustained throughout, with a slight approach to buoyan¬
cy on the prime grades.
The auction sale on Wednesday was well attended
and the prices realized were close up to expectations, the result proving gene¬
rally satisfactory. The following is the range of figures: Gunpowder, 06V
$1 20; Imperial, 37Xc@$l 02; Young Hyson, 41@93.hjC; Hyson, 4P@08o;
Hyson Twankay, 33@34><c, and uncolored Japan 60@79Vc. At private sale the
business includes 11,850 pkgs. Green; 10,200 pkgs. Oolong; 800 pkgs. Sou¬
chong, and 1,500 pkgs. Japans, part of the above sold previous to our last.
The imports this week are embraced n a single arrival—that of the “Ada,"
with 788,225 lbs. of black tea from Foochow.

yet become generally active, and dealers continue to
express some dissatisfaction with the current position of affairs, yet on the
whole there is a slight improvement over last week, and a growing hope of an
early setting in of call from consumers. Values as a rule have not greatly
varied beyond the natural modifications allowed on any dull market, and the
situation is such both as regards cost at place of growth and the amount o*
stock in first hands here, that it is probable that anything like a steady demand
for a few days would impart a somewhat buoyant tone. Brazils early in tlie
week were very dull, and the tone a little soft, with some slight concessions
made on the least desirable grades, partly in order to get odd lots out of he
way.
The reduced cost, however, appeared to attract the attention of buyers,
as

subsequently improved materially, swelling the business to
proportions than for some time previous, and imparting a stronger
feeling throughout the market. Buyers, however, were not void of caution in
their movements, and handled few goods unless re-sales at an early day were
pretty certain. The ordinary qualities continue to form a very small propor.
tion of the accumulation, and are relatively higher than the upper grades.
Java, though not quick, has sold very well from second hands, and the recent
purchases are understood to have already become fairly distributed to con¬
sumers.
West India grades are still to some extent neglected, and values
without much strength, though in the absence of leading sales quotations at
the best are nominal.
Sales of 11,703 bags Rio and Santos, 200 bags Costa
Rica, 150 bags Laguayra, 100 bags Jamaica, 400 bags St. Domingo, and 4,202
bags St. Domingo shipped direct from first hands to Hamburg. Sales at
Baltimore of 3,000 bags Rio, and at Hampton Roads to go to Baltimore 4,200

moderate cost of transportation now available by the opening of

exact values a matter of some speculation. Jobbers continue to report a fair

April 28, 1871.

comparatively little business transacted in the
drygoods market during the present week, and, in the entire
absence of any important changes, we have little of importance
to record.
The bulk of the business for the season is doubtless
over, but the usual sorting up trade will soon begin, and its
continuance well into the summer months is looked for. Retailers
generally do not appear to have purchased very heavily, although
the sales during the season aggregate an amount considerably in

class, of cotton fabrics, the market remaining firm at pre¬
quotations, with an advancing tendency in some lines. ' The
lower grades of brown cottons appear to be sold unusually close
to the production, and agents are in some instances sold ahead,
while orders are only taken at an advance on the current jobbing
quotations. The medium grades are held with a good degree of
firmness, and are not in excessive supply, although stocks are
rather heavier than of the low counts. Fine goods sell freely at
full [prices, and quotations are fully sustained.
Colored cottons
are in fair request, in small assorted lots, and there is a good
degree of steadiness in prices, though a moderate accumulation of

is reported. Prints are very firm in consequence
comparatively small supply of desirable work in first
hands, and the high prices current on cloths. All good styles of
light work find a ready market, and several brands are largely
sold to arrive. No changes in prices are reported.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—The extravagant prices which
holders are asking for wool gives continued firmness tcTThe mar¬
ket for goods/ and an advance in prices is anticipated later in the
year. The current trade is not very spirited in any line of woolen
goods, though the demand is active for this period of the season.
Light weight cassimeres are well sold out, the only remaining
stock being small lots of undesirable styles,
On these some lib¬
eral inducements might possibly be offered to effect sales, but on
regular lines no concessions could be obtained, the market
remaining steady at the opening quotations. Heavy weights are
held in small supply, and transactions are necessarily limited,
although the demand is good. Cloths are in moderate request to
replenish assortments, but the sales from first hands are chiefly of
castors, which are taken freely by early buyers. Flannels in the
lower grades are in fair demand for the far Western trade, and
sales are reported at an advance of 2@3c. per yard on last year’s
stripes and ticks
of the

prices.
Foreign Goods.—There is but

little inquiry for goods beyond

fair demand for this
stage of the season, and the stock in first hands is well reduced.
Millinery goods sell fairly, though the demand for goods in first

perhaps, rather less spirited than was noted a few weeks
earlier. Woolens are selling on orders for goods to be imported
at full prices.
Linens are not in very spirited demand, but sell
moderately in small lots as required to replenish stocks. The
auction houses are obtaining better stocks of goods, but find less
ready sale than they did a few weeks earlier.
