It has been checked by the that gigantic pressure strong arm of necessity. Gt-rmany could not hoard much money if she would.

We cannot thinlc, however, that shippers would be wise in trusting too much to the liberality of the companies. Witli the close of canal navigation, if not sooner, the rates will surely be advanced, and a further advance may be expected early in the winter.

One movement in this direction has been to send a planter of large experience to the Dutch East Indies to procure a new stock of cane for planting. That which is now grown has become " hard shelled," deficient in juice and difficult to treat in the mill, owing to the fact that very heavy machinery is required to compress it enough to extract the saccharine matter from it. The cane, being a tropical plant, deteriorates in a semi-tropical climate, the sap becoming thinner and the proportion of hard, woody fibre increasing each year. It has therefore been determined to reset the plantations, so far as may be possible, with cane fresh from tho East Indies, and it is belisved that with the increased i)roduction and improved quality of sugar thus secured the business can be firmly re-established on a profitable basis. The deterioration of the cane has not been the only cause which has contributed to depress the industry. The lack of capital and the Inefficiency and increased cost of labor have had much to do with it, but tho planters are now in a position, we think, to adopt better and more effective methods of culture, and to make whatever improvements are desirable in the macliinery of their sugar houses. There is also a noticeable improvement In the dispoei. tion of the blacks to who all work steadily for fair wages and planters hands have no difficulty in procuring We certainly hope the sanguine expec; deal justly with their the labor they want. engaged in this important industry will be realand that the sugar plantations mey again become a soaica tations of those ized, of wealth to the State.

Saturday, July to a large extent, been kept in check 27. by the new French loan of £140,000,000 sterling. The terms of the loan were published in last Sunday's Moniteur, and are as follows: Subscription price, Sii, of which 14| per cent, is payable on application, and the remainder in 20 monthly instalments. The product of the country can be looked for, except at an increase in the cost of mining it. The opportunity is, therefore, favorable to the advance agreed upon by the operators, especially as the consumptive demand is greater now than ever before, and steadily increasing. Nearly all branches of industry, especially coal operation will be spread, therefore, over a long period, but at the same time, each instalment will represent a heavy total. There certainly less enthusiasm about the loan, and some doubts are the supply does not appear to have kept pace with the demand^ now entertained regarding its tremendous success. In fact, the and no immediate material increase of production can be effected, French Government are now being blamed for delaying its introiron manufacture, are in a highly stimulated condition, and large quantities of coal must be had, at almost any price ; and as is prices for the present at least are likely to be very firmly main- duction, as the last tained. This is week has given thoughtful people time think seriously over the transaction. the greater misfortune, since the scarcity of coal In the first to place, they call mind the fact that the loan is one of unprecedented magnitude, and has been only just preceeded by one in itself though much less— appalling in amount. They think of the great addition which has been made, and will be made, to the already considerable debt of France by the disasters of 1870, and the fact that French commerce must suffer greatly from the large increase of taxation. The ability of France to meet her liabilities, great as they will be, is not, however, doubted. On the contrary, one never believes that France will allow for one instant her financial reputation to be discredited or impugned but speculators and in- has already placed a serious check npon the increased manufacturing activity which the state of general trade at the present time would justify, and is preventing further progress in the develop- to — ment of the manufacturing capacities of the country. We do not, however, share the opinion which some of our exchanges have expressed that Great Britain is from this cause on the eve of losing her position as the greatest manufacturing nation of the world or that she will have to procure supplies of coal abroad, as iron ores are now procured in Spain and elsewhere to supplement the failing production of the British mines. There is a great abundance of coal in Great Britain, and it is not at all improbable that long before it is exhausted some other and cheaper source of heat will have been discovered. Still very likely prices of coal will in the meantime settle upon a somewhat higher level. There are two reasons for this belief first, the new mines which must be opened will probably cost more to work at least for a considerable time the beet and most easily productive veins were undoubtedly first opened, and if a more extensive production has become necessary, it is to be cresumed that it must be at an increased cost. Another reason for a permanent level of values for coal higher than the past, arises out ; ; vestors begin to think that may be when the scrip is issued, purchases minimum, which has been fixed by below the scrip which has been dealt in at 2 premium, has declined to 1 premium, and other French stocks are also lower. Even in London, however, there are firms having connections in Paris, who advertise that they are prepared to give one per cent, for the amount of one's allotment a considerable percentage considering that the loan is only at one premium. The loan will now, it is thought, be less largely subscribed to here than was expected, and this is the more likely to be the case if the Paris Bourse continues weak. In fact, it can scarcely be expected effected authority. — The — ; of the fact that there has been of late years a general rise In Europe in the prices of commodities, and wages now are on the upward turn. This we are inclined to believe is, in part, a result of the largely increased supply of gold, which the world has that received during the past fifteen years. Whjt benefit we shall derive from the changes that are thus at work, it is not necessary for us at present to discuss. Still we do not see in these facts ing the loan is the result partly of the loan and partly of the unsettled weather, both of which have given tightness to tho money market, if tightness it may be called, when discount is obtainable at 3i|p per cent. The weather during the week hag any reason trade is so active, it, and requires so much additional the British mercantile classes will subscribe largely unless they perceive an immediate profit.

In fact, it has been somewhat of a tropical character, for the sky has been suddenly overcast, a violent storm has ensued, to be followed by great brightness and intense heat nearly So rapidly, indeed, has the rain fallen that even London, with its superior drainage, has been temporarily inconvenienced with water. London, Liverpool, Manchester, and, in fact, nearly every town in England, reports several severe storms this week, and the community, therefore, feels anxious about crops. The damage done, however, is not serious, and will probably bo remedied by the payment of an extra charge for reaping.

The financial houses here, as money is so cheap, may, as favorable opportunities occur, render their aid, and some large amounts of gold may be sent away, to be represented eventually by French securities or to be returned by France.

This will give a total of 517 miles of road put in operation in a little more than 24 months from the date of beginning work, notwithstanding the necessary delays of the first year attendant upon the prosecution of thorough preliminary surveys and the selection of the best line through a densely wooded region. A better idea of the real magnitude of the work accomplished will be conveyed by stating that the portion of the Northern Pacific Road, now ajiproaching completion, is considerably longer *han the New York Central Railroad and its connecting lines, extending from Albany, New York to Cleveland, Ohio nearly as long as the combined roads reaching from Portland, Maine, through Boston, Providence, New Haven, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore to Washington and almo.^t one-and-a-half times the length of an air line from London to Glasgow.

The action of the Georgia Bodn Committee does not appear to have exerted much influence upon prices in this city, probably because it has been generally believed that the Legislature would not adopt the course suggested and repudiate any part of the debt. For a rich State like Georgia, it would be a far wiser policy to acknowledge and shoulder the responsibility of any reasonable amount of debt, even though it were issued by dishonest officials, rather than have the reputation of repudiating a single dollar of her bonds which have gone into the hands of bona fide purchasers, either in this country or abroad. No action has been taken by any of the States which showed a more judicious and far-sighted financial policy than that of voluntarily paying ofl' in coin their old debts We the past When IP' ABLE. week BooKB Closed. are glad to observe that contracted previous to the war. New Y'ork is numbered among those which have pursued this honorable course with their creditors. With States most decidedly not only honesty but honor is the best policy. Railroad bonds have not been very active transactions have been quite numerous, but not of large amounts. A list of railroad and other loans recently placed abroad, which is given below under " Foreign Exchange," will be read with much interest. There is still the prospect of a good demand from London and Germany for our first-class railroad securities, and the experience which they have had in taking some of our very best securities, such as Central Pacific bonds, Illinois Central stock, and many others, will ultimately be felt in turning their attention to our market, notwithstanding the prejudicial effects of a few rotten securities which liave unfortunately been foisted upon the foreign markets.

There have been more frequent transactions during the past few days at the exceptionally low prices, say 2 per cent, and the rangf for all ordinary business has been from 3 to 4 per cent. There seems to bo no general anticipation of a material hardening in the rates for money just at present, although th^ irregularities in the gold and exchange markets, the comparatively moderate amount OT legal reserves held by our banks, and the possibility of speculative niaui))ulation, are all n^garded as influences which might lead to a sharp upward turn under certain contingencies. There is some activity in the demand for time loans, although the banks are usually averse to sucli engagements.

It does not appear to have been the result of a determined attack on the market, but rather the weakness pertaininR to this period of the season, together with the fact that there has been no important " short " interest to support price8,and that there is a willingness on the part of many leading operators to have stocks decline now, in order to form a good basis for an upward movement at a later period. Erie has attracted much attention as usual, it being re)>i)rted that Mr. Drew is now in harmony with the London Biscliott'sheim party, (having settled his famous contract to deliver 55,000 shares before Jan. 1, 1873, at a profit of about $.500,000), and that they are all now in favor of an upward turn.

Arkansas State Lovco Bondholders.— A meeting of Arkansas State Levee bondholders has been held for the purpose of taking action for th'3 protection of their intentsts. The State of Arkansas has issued over $;j,000,000 of levee bonds, $1,000,000 of which has been entered for land, leaviuL' the |".000,000 outstanding, and taxes are levied for the purpose of paying the interest on these $3,000,000. An injunction has been issued for the purpose of restraining the collection of taxes for this purpose, and therefore a portion of the interest was not paid on the Ist of July. Messrs. Day & Lord were apjiointed attorneys to represent the bondholders in application for the removal of the injunction, the immediate collection of the taxes, and the payment of the delayed interest. In the Memphis Appeal, ot July 20, the question whether the Arkansas State Levee Bonds are a constitutional debt, is ably discussed by Gen. Charles W. Adams, who takes the ground that the bonds are unaffected by the constitutional provision which prohibits the State from lending its credit, inasmuch as they were issued in payment of work done in accordance with the law and tor the use of the State, and are in no sense loaned— neither are they bills of credit, but simply an acknowledgment of debt, in- curred entirely in tlie interest of the State.

August 9, 1872. trade has been fairly active during the current week, and in some lines of groceries the business from first hands has been very large. There is a good jobbing inquiry, but transactions are restricted to some extent by the high rate of the gold premium which is making goods cost a shade more. The markets for the most part rule strong. The only perceptible weakness being in teas which are still gradually settling down, and as a consequence buyers hold off until the market becomes established on a permanent basis of prices. Quotations have undergone very Blight variations, and the particulars are given under the different headings below. TEA. The general business of the lea market since onr last report has been rather quiet. The demand for lines has been fairly active, hut the ciill has been supplied without any liberal transactions in invoices and the sales of the foot np a small amount. The stock is pretty liberal and the arrivals of new crop are increasing.

This movement lias had the effect of strengthening prices somewhat, and the last Rio telegram has also had a hardening influence. The latest advices from Rio arc np to July 17th, and show a further improvement there since the pre- vious telegram of July 8th, with everything tending toward a stronger market Holders of Rios liere have shown a disposition to still higher rates. harden prices a little, and the sales are mainly at extreme rates, though the market is without quotable improvement as yet. In.Java the position is about and A few small parcels have changed hands at full the same as last noted. but with a good stock the market is only steady. Lagnayra has been in more liberal request, and the transactions are on a larger scale than for some time previous. Fair transactions have been closed in Maracaibo and Costa Rica, and Savanillas show increased activity. The sales of all grades into consumption foot up heavy, and are all within the range of our quota- ions, which are without notable change in extremes. The sales of Rio have been 4,034 bags ex " Stockton," 8,544 ex " Nora," 1,056 Rio, and 3.366 Santos ex "Foreningen," 2,100 ex " C.

There has been a very good demand for raws throughout the week, which has been met, for the most part, freely by holders at the former range of quotations. Early in the week holders of stock, in store, showed an inclination to get a shade better prices on their good to prime refining grades, and the offerings were mainly at a shade better prices. Buyers, however, held back, and importers were forced to meet their views to effect sales. The lower qualities of refining have been freely offered at old prices and have met ready The stock of refininggrades is well under control, bnt the lack of press, sale. ing necessities has made refiners less eager to operate, and prevented holders from realizing the improvement that seemed probable at the date of our last report. The stock has been materially reduced within the week, and the receipts continue light. There has been some movement in grocery grades with Our range is said to liberal sales reported late in the week on private terms. cover the prices obtained, and is quoted at the close with a fair degree of firmness. The market for refined sugars ig languid, though the demand continues to be on a fairly liberal scale.

Domestic Woolen Goods. The movement in heavy woolens has been a little better this week, although the market still lacks animation. Prices have not been changed and the market remains without new feature. The feature of the week in woolens has been the opening of fall styles of shawls by the leading manufacturers of these goods. Messrs. Martin, Landenberger & Co are now offering the " Saratogas," greatly improved over the goods the " Brightselling under the same name last season, at f 4 25 ons," entirely new, at $4 75, and the " Ristoris," which bid fair These three are already sold to have their usual run, at $3 75. ahead. They show also the " Niagaras" at $4 75, and the "Ottomans" at $9@10 and $11. Messrs. Tilliughast, Wight & Co. show a line of Mr. F. Steffan's makes. The " Ottoman" at $7, and the " Florence" styles are sold ahead, and the " Diana" at $4 50, which will probably also bo much sought after. The improvements in the machinery is readily noticed in the favorable appearance of the fabrics, and the increasing demand is compelling the manu; facturers to greatly enlarge their mills. Mr. Elias Birchall's shawls are offered through Messrs. Deniiy, Poor & Co. The " Spring Queens" at $5 50, the " Augustas" at $4 50, both stripes the ; and the " Germantown," which is a staple and always sells, at $3 50 all of these do great credit to the manufacturer. There is some inquiry for flannels, with the tone of the market weaker and prices favoring buyers a shade. Foreign Goods. Very liberal offerings have been made by importers and jobbers, and retailers have canvassed the market more freely without, however, making any extensive purchases. " West Point" plaids at $4, — Buyers looked for lower rates to follow the reduction in the duty, but this has been offset by tho rise in the gold premium, and prices are higher on some fabrics than they were before the 1st The result of this is naturally to cheek trade, and until instant. gold declines, or the reijuirements ot the trade force buyers to purchase, there is little prospect of an active trade doing.
