judgment, a far more important improvement of the

repairs, which should give the water-way its proper and lawful

larger area of water, so that the displaced fluid could pass tbe boat
in a larger space.
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.

Virginia Finances. 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.

Vnlted Slates Bonds. Government securities were exceedingly dull in the early part of the week, and prices yielded from
the very inactivity of business
Yesterday and to-day there was
a decided improvement in the demand, and a recovery in prices.
The most active transactions have been in old 65s, on which 3
per cent gold interest falls due in May, and which are therefore
a good purchase even if they should be called in within the
year; we heard of the sale of about $750,000 of these by a foreign banking house. Today, there was quite a sharp inquiry for
governments, both from city and country purchasers.

$750,000 of short bonds sold by the city of Brooklyn this week,
and Cincinnati invites proposals for $8,000,000 more of her

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.

the long-coatemplated Columbus & ToleUo Railroad is now under
contract. Witii nothing special preventing, it will be completed
by November, 1876. The Columbus & loledo Railroad being,
practically, an extension of this road to the lakes, will greatly

ANNUAL

REPORTS.

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

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

Within a very short time after the exchange of the contract

Tbe«e transactions relieved the company of the embarrassing
debt that wa?t then pressing on it for payment, and prevented a
foreclosure of the mortgages, and consequent expensive litigation and possible sacrifice of your interests.
No change has occurred as to the state of the work on the

The report of the receiver and general manager haa the
Burlington Cedar Rapids

following

....

:

the statements cover the period during which the
property has been in my charge, they aie correct; but when
relating to the time prior to July 21, are made up from such data
as could be obtained, and in all respects may not be accarata,
though I doubt not they Are approximately so. At ihe date of a
former report (Oct. 1, 1875), I estimated that the gross earnings,
from July 21 to December 31, 1875, would be $815,000, and tba
net earnings, without deducting certain extraordinary expense*,
necessary to prooarly conduct the business of the railway, would
The' actual gross earnings were $055,092 t!3, and
be *267,000.
the net result upon the foregoing basis is $323,703 04. I hope to
make good the estimates then made for the present year, and to
have the property, should I remain in charge of it, so great]/
improved in condition that its value will be coi:siderabl7 enDuring the past five months a large quantity of work,
hanced.
required by the depreciated condition of the railway and its
equipment, has been done and charged in the accounts to operating expenses for that period, although it does not attach to the
months in which it was performed and paid for. The same condition of affairs will exist for the current year.

Provisiong have been almost uniformly depressed, and in some
particulars the decline is important. The quantity ((oiog out of
market recently, whether for consumption or export, has been
ditappointing to holders, with the natural consequence of an increased anxiety to sell and a disposition to stimulate business by
namlnft lower prices. The decline in pork has been in most part
nominal, and business has not increased materially. For future
delivery, the closing bids for mess to-day were
for April,
$22 80; for May, |22 90 for June, !|23 10; and for July, |23 20.
Lard kas receded 15c. on the spot and 20(§25c. per 100 lbs. for
future delivery, and even this decline has not stimulated to any

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,

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.

Hfpnaw atiDg staple; dom8eties,,printg, &c., have been more actively

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.

'*» 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
