The Suoar Interests op Loitisiana.—The efforts now
making by tlie Louisiana planters to give a new and healthy
impetus to the sugar-growing and manufacturing interests of
that State givo promise of accomplishing important results.
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.

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

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-

would justify, and is preventing further progress in the develop-

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

percentage considering that the loan is only at one premium. The

So rapidly, indeed, has the rain fallen that even London,

held at Hopkinsville, Ky., last week, at which the Kvangvilie,
Henderson and Nashville Railroad Company vote<l to oonaolidate
with the present St. Ix)ui8 and Soutlienstern road, thereliy forming what will hereafter bo known as the St. Louis and Southnastern Railway (consolidated). The consolidation is to go into effect
on the first day of October, when a new directory will be chosen.
The system will then consist of 358 miles of completed road,
between St. Louis and Nashville, with a branch to Shawneetown.
It is contemplated to build sixty miles more, which will complete
the system with its connecting branches, making altogether 418
miles under the control and management of one company.

a considerable distance westward across Dakota; three-fourths of
the 300 miles, l)etween the Red River and the crossing of the Missouri, is graded; track-laying is progressing at the rate of nearly
two miles a day, and about the middle of October the road is to be

On the Pacific coast, in Washington Territory, a finished section of 2.5 miles lias been in regular operation for some months,
and an additional extent of 40 miles is now approaching completion mali ing Oo miles at the western end that will be in running
order the present season. 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.

not strange that the subscriptions were so large, as it was rightly
supposed there would be an advance in the market price of the
new loan after the allottments were made a calculation which
speculators all over Europe were not slow to act on."
'i'hc last statement of our associated city banks on the 3d inst.
showed a decrease in specie and deposits, and an increase, though
of less amount, in legal tenders, the result being a decrease of
$2,386,125 in the excess above legal reserve. In the last statement of our associated city banks the total liabilities stood at
$268,865,200, and the total reserves at $78,077,0tK», being $11,761,300 in excess of 25 per cent of the liabilities, a decrease o?

and Railroad Bonds. — Southern State bonds have been

rather mure active than last week, Tennessees, South Carolinas,
North Carolinas and Virginias being most largely dealt in. 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

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.

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.

Railroad and ffltlacellaneona Stocks.— The feature of the
Btock market hiiH bijen the general lack of strength which haB
resulted in a docline of more or less importance on the whole list.
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. The annual report of the Chicago and Xorthwestei n road
has been issued, showing net earnings of |4,593,135, and net
income above interest account of $2,618,323, out of which
two dividends of 3^^ per cent each were paid on the preferred
stock, and the balance, $1,132,135, is carried to surplus.
The
Milwaukee and St. Paul Company has declared a cash dividend
of 3i per cent ou the preferred stock.

pressed by the continuedsale of borrowed bills, as a consequence
of the high rates paid ou gold loans. The bills are borrowed of
the bankers, sold in this market for gold, which is in turn loaned
out at the high rates quoted in the gold marki^t above. Under
the influence of this operation the nominal quotations of prime
60 days' sterling have been reduced to 108 J and short sight to
109J, while outside transactions have in some cases been made as
low as lOSi. The natural result of borrowing so large an amount
o| sterling bills at present will be to stiffen the market again

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.

GENEHAI. REMARKS.
The President remarks: Compared with the previous year,
these items show a decrease of $293,753, or 03 56-100 per cent of
the gross receipts. The extent of the loss occasioned by the

stoppage of business and temporary diversion of traffic from
Chicago to other points, during the depression caused by the
great fire in that city in October last, cannot be measured by this

week, and $379,454 49, or nearly the entire amount, to the four
weeks immediately subsequent to the fire.
The total losses of the company by the Chicago fire were estimated at $494,000, against which there was partial insurance in
good companies. The amount of insurance realized up to the
present time is $68,400. The total loss will probably be something more than the original estimate, and will by a little exceed

During the last year there has been expended on the Madison
extension the sum of $3,175,007 44, which includes payments lor
large <iuantities of iron, ties and materials for the completion of
the entire track to the junction with the La Crosse, Trempealeau
and Prescoit Railroad. The grading is far advanced north of
Wonowoc, to which point the track is now laid, and as soon as tho
tunnels can be finished, the whole line will be put in operation
The sura of $1,503,560 52 has been expended during the year
in the construction of the Menominee extension, between Fort
Howard and Escanaba, and about fifty miles were completed,
including the bridge across the Menominee River, and put in
operation in February last. The balance of the work is in progress, and will be completed to a connection with the Peflinsala
Division, by the closa of the present year.
Other Important expenditures for construction have been made

GROCERIES.
The general

Friday Evbnins. 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.
Even at the current figures here there is very
little profit for the Importer, and with a weak tone prevailing and prices

the stock has been considerably diminished since our last report. 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

vious telegram of July 8th, with everything tending toward a stronger market

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. Leeds," 475 ex "Hipparchus," 3,187 ex "Frances

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

gate of the distribution is very limited. Refiners have been inquiring for
stock during the week, but their demands have not, so far as we can leiirn,
developed into any business of note. The stock is down to a point that
makes it easy to control, and as there is no pressure to sell prices arc maintaiued with a good degree of steadiness. Grocery grades have sold to some
extent during the week, nndat the close are held with a little more steadiness,
tliough the quotations remain as before. The stock of domestic molasses
remains light, and there is no pressure to sell on the jjart of holders. There
has been a moderate outlet for those grades daring the week, so that tlic
sales more than balance the arrivals, and keep down stocks.

first hands, and the aggregate of the distribution is not heavy for
this period of the season. The fluctuations in values on brown

and prices are chiefly nominal.
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

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.

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
