This is evident when we remember that the cost of carrying freight is made up of (1) the cost of the boat, (2) the cost of towing, and (3) the cost of other If, therefore, you can quicken the labor employed. transit, you lessen all these expenses. Much of the water-way is now not more than six feet. Extravagant, wasteful repairs have been in progress, this vital point has been neglected. It was too but simple a thing for the large ideas of the modern con- Our tractor. locks and our boats are expectation of seven feet at least. made on the Experience has all taught us that to get the most speed a certain proportion has to be observed between the cross section of the boat and the cross section of the water-way. If channel or lessen its you narrow the depth, without decreasing the size his life. In the early days of gold-getting in California, go was abundant in the hands of every able-bodied indi trious man; but labor and all the products of lab except gold, were exceedingly dear. Why ? Becai labor was so richly rewarded. Labor was scarce; the fore dear. The objects of labor or employment ma times exceeded the labor obtainable. Here was capi taken from the ground and accumulating rapidly, I not well distributed until the social law had time work its inequalities. There was very little coin money, grains of gold furnishing a ready substitu The agent in making labor dear was excessive capital the form of gold not readily convertible into other forr nor reproductive until the appliances of modern civiliz life could be brought to its aid; and with them camet required labor drawn by the power of that capital.

It would not be necessary to alter the culverts or other structures, or to carry the walls ot the canal beiow the present bottom, and tbe benefit would be realized in each portion ot the canal improved, without reference to any other part of the channel which should remain unchanged, in facilitating the movement of the beat and quickening its speed. It would increase the amount of service rendered in a given time, and wou'd thereby diminish every element of the cost of transportation. It would benefit the boatmen and carriers more, even, than one cent a bushel remission of tolls. It would be of more real utility to navigation than five or ten times its cost expended in the average manner of ac-called impiovements on the public works. These opinions are deduce! from the best engineerinjf science as applied to canal navigation, and are confirmed bv practical experience, la the present depressed sta'e of business is found an increased necessity and a favorable oppor unity for going oa with this measure. The interests of the coneuiufrs in cheap navigation, of the boatmen and forwarders for every facility in their business, the low prices of material, and the scanty employment of labor, are all circumstances which conspire to demand attention to this subject, and tr> make the present a fit and advantageous time in which to begin the work.

The Richmond Dispatch explains tb reported deficiency in the State Treasury and says: Genen Johnson has made an investigation and an explanation as to tli report of the Auditor of Public Accounts, concerning a deficienc of $409,000, collected Irom direct taxes for the years 1871, '72, '7! '74, and which ought to have been paid to the bchool fund, bi which has been used for other purposes of government. Tb impression made by this report was that this money had bee spent in such a manner in the general expenditure, that, in poic of fact, our expenses had actually exceeded our receipts, durin, the time named by the sum of $409,004. On examining tbe matter, it is said that this is not so. It true that $409,000 is due the school fund for the years 1871-'7'! but it is also the fact that every dollar of this money, and more too, is still in tbe possession and control of ihe State in the sink ing fund, or is due the State in solvent debts. In other wordi while we have failed to pay $409,000 to the school fund, we ha] paid that money into the sinking fund, or it is still due i State. Peoria & Rock — Island. J. R.

There were $750,000 of short bonds sold by the city of Brooklyn this week, and Cincinnati invites proposals for $8,000,000 more of her Southern railroad bonds, either 6 per cent, in gold or 7 in currency.

Railroad and niscellaneoaa StocH»._The stock market has been inactive most of the week, with prices generally lower, though to-day there was rather more doing and a recovery in tone. The extreme weakness in Pacific Mail has been the most notable feature, and the company's affairs appear to be in so bad a condition, and its prospects for continued business so poor, that the public have lost all confidence in it. There is very little new iu other stocks affecting their actual value railroad earnings were not relatively as good in the last two weeks of March as in the early part of that month, though the statements for the whole four weeks compare favorably with the same period last year. The agreements among railroad officials, so far as known, have been well maintained, and any renewal of the war in rates has been avoided. The fact is apparent that the tone of the market for the past few weeks has been decidedly bearish, and there has not yet been a recovery from the movement whick commenced with the break in Pacific Mail from 39, and the attack on Western Union Telegraph at 76 to 80. Whether there will be a change in tone soon, it is impossible now to say; to-day, there was more firmness in prices and a better tone of feeling. Total gales of the week in leading stocks were as follows : ; Lake West'n Pacific ArrU Mail. 8 200 8 1»,80:, 4 23,600 20,700 32,600 85,700 ..140,600 ..100,000 235.300 494.665 Total.. ., Whole stack. 6,;M0 2,10J 2,200 800 400 11,000 21,.300 16,600 20,200 3.700 1,20J 131.400 13,000 78,400 21,900 837,874 149.930 780,000 200.000 total number of shares of stock outstanding the last line, for the purpose of comparison.

Maine Central Railroad. {For the year ending December 31, 1875.) The report has the following: The total earnings for the year 1875 have been $1,780,076 47. Operating expenses, $1,147,000 83. Net earnings, $039,009 05 sufficient to pay all operating expenses, interest, coupons and rente, and leave a small balance. In 1874 the total receipts were $2,094,080 oti, and operating expenses Showing a diminution this $1,281,081 25. Net, $813,899 30. year, as compared with last, in gross receipts, $308,004 08 in operating txpenses of $134,014 43; and in net receipts of $173389 65. Of this reduction in onr gross receipts the past year, $77,322 50 was occasioned by the modification of former contracts, for the purpose of producing uniform and harmonious action between the Eastern and Boston Maine roads, which will result, as we trust, to the benefit and in the general convenience of our patrons who have occasion to do business over the railroads west of Portland. The balance of the diminution in our gross receipts, $230,081 63, must be attributed to tbe general depression of the business of the country, and " reduction of tariff ijy special rates." Receipts, operating expenses, interest, rentals, &c., in the past two years were as follows — ; Balaace from 1874 $367,512 Less dividend of Feb. 12, 1875, oa account of business 148,416 , forl8;4 Leaving net balance from 1S74 219,u«6 Add net earnings for 18 15 358,376 30 00 30 98 Totalcredit Dividend No. 6 (payable Aug.

THE CHRONICLR The market we«k for cotton on the apot has been quiet not sharing to any appreciable extent in the '•harp fluctuations which have occurred io futurag. Offerings ftiat-e been limited, and there has been very little inquiry from 'moy quarter. Deliveries on contracts have to a large extent supiplied current wants. The close to-day was quiet and prices 'nearly nominal. For future delivery there have been wide flue'taations, the effect, to a considerable extent, of speculative • laanipalation. On Saturday last there was a small advance; >but on Monday prices took a sharp downward turn, and at the •close of Wednesday's business the decline from Saturday amounted to i@3-16c. All this time Liverpool yrna reporteJ dull -and weak, and the depression was assisted by a decline in gold, flwd a disposition in some speculative circles to " let go to get a "better hold." Much interest was felt in the flood accounts from Tthe Miflsissippi River, but they had little effect. The irregularity "between the course of prices for this and the next crop also disappeared. But yesterday there was a sharp reaction. Accounts ^rere received tbat the water in the Mississippi was one inch higln>r than the high water of the almost unprecedented flood of 18(57, and still rising, giving strength to the fears that the most extenrflive flood of recent years is ioeviiable, thus endangering the aprospect of a favorable planting season in a vast cotton region. T&e -decline of the previous tbree days was fully recovered, the iailvance being stimulated to some extent by slightly improved advices from Liverpool, small receipts at the ports and at interior 't»wns, and by some recovery in the premium on gold. To day, *he opening was at ^c. decline, as Liverpool failed to respond to Ahis market, but the close was rather less depressed. The total gales for forward delivery for the week are lGt,800 %ales, including free on board. For immediate delivery the sales foot up this week .3,915 bales, including 631 for export, 2,553 for consumption, 723 for speculation, and in transit. Of the above, bales were to arrive.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE. Pbiday, P. M.. April . Hfpnaw atiDg staple; dom8eties,,printg, &c., have been more actively than: for some time ipast, and their transactions have 1876. to be wondered at in the present unsettled condiiion of the market, when gjods which are apparently cheap to-day may be otherwise within a week. Jobbing prices have been very irregular, and the keen competition of Western jobbers (who are making vigorous efforts to secure the Western trade) has necessitated extremely low prices on many descriptions of both domestic and foreign goods, which are selling below ante-war pricfs. The print market continued makes in a demoralized condition, of standard prints were offered by jobbers at and several lower rates than ever before known. Domestic Cotton Goods.— The export trade in staple cotton goods, print cloths, &c., continues to improve, and during the week 1,813 packages were shipped to foreign ports from this city of which 1,439 packages were sent to Liverpool and London. Brown sheetings were in steady demand, but not very strong, and some makes of Atlantics were reduced ^c. by agents. Fine bleached shirtings were taken freely by the trade, and because of their comparative scarcity are firmly held. Dyed ducka were in demand, but denims, tickings, checks and slowly and in small stripes moved Cheviots lacked animation, and cotton- lots. when offered at a concession from previous holding rates, which induced gome fair transactions. Corset jeans were in steady request and firm, Rolled jacconets were more ades were quiet, except on account of a reduction in price on Masonvllle, Manwhich are now jobbing at the low figure of S^c. Print cloths were dull, with a weakening tendency, closing at 3i@3Je. cash for extra 64's. Prints were quiet and weak in the regular way, but heavy sales were made by several agents at prices which active, ville, &c., enabled jobbers to offor standard prints in fair styles at 5i@5fc. Bristol and Richmond fancy prints were reduced by agents to and Amoskeag and Freeman's prints declined to 5ic. The was purchased by a large jobbing house, and sold at Sfc. Ginghams were in steady demand, but cotton dress goods were less active. Domestic Woolen Goods.— There has been & rery light demand for men's-wear woolens from agents' hands, and jobbers* sales have not been tip to expectations. Fair deliveries of overcoatings have been made to the early clothing trade on account of previous orders, but few new transactions occurred. Cloths and doeskins were taken in small lots for keeping up assortments, but sales were light In the aggregate. Cassimeres and suitings moved slowly and at unsatisfactory prices, and worsted coatings were comparatively quiet. Satinets were dull apart from low printing grades, which changed hands in moderate amounts, and Kentucky jeans ruled quiet. Low grade ingrain carpets were in moderate request, but all-wool ttakes dragged heavily. Flannels were taken in single package lots for keeping up assortments, but sales were small in the aggregate. Worsted dress goods were in steady demand, and the beat makes are firmly held by agents at current quotations. Foreign Dry Goods, There has been a sluggish movement in imported goods, and prices have been less firm on fabrics of some descriptions. Black silks were in steady demand and tolerablj firm, as were the most fashionable colors, but fancy silks, which are in excessive supply, were pressed to sale privateiy and through the auction rooms at a material concession from opening rates. Ca,shmere.i, drap d'ete and other staple dress fabrics were in moderate demand, but fancy dress goods moved slowly and at lower prices. Linen goods were less active, but some makes of white goods showed a slight Improvement in the demand. Hamburg embroideries continued to sell at low and unremunerative prices. The auction rooms distributed large quantities of silks, dress goods, linens, ribbons and millinery goods, embroideries, etc., at prices which in some cases showed a decline from those obtainable earlier in the season, and which left no margin of profit to importers. vVe annex prices of a few articles of domestic manufacture 6ic., entire stock of Conestoga prints — 7, 1876. "Business-was very qniet in the early part of the week, owing '*» tnfavoTable weather, tut has since then shown a gradual im, r^TOvement in nearly all departments. Manufacturers' agents ^iplpyed [April 8 reached a fair aggregate amount. The woolen goods houses have not shared in the general improvement, nor has much animation been noticed in foreign goods outside of the auction rooms, where very heavy sales were made. The jobbing trade has been spasmodic, but better, on thi> whole, and the outlook is less discouraging than was the case a few weeks ago. Buyers are still pursuing the same cautious hand-to-mouth policy which has marked their course of action for some time past, but this is not better Estimited.
