On
the contrary, the necessities of the government in
manning the navy
and providing munitions of war, became augmented beyond all former precedent. To meet the emergency,
the banks in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, at the
urgent request of Mr. Secretary Chase, formed a syndicate, and lent to the government one hundred and fifty
millions of dollars, of which 8105,000,000 were contributed by the Clearing-House banks of New York. To

passed a law on the 5 th of August, 1861, a fortnight
after Bull Run, modifying the Sub-treasury law of 1846,
so as to preclude the necessity of crippling the banks, or
of compelling
them
to
pay
into the Treasury in coin the
installments of the government loan.
At
that time, in-
deed, the banks had abundance of specie reserve, but
this specie needed to be kept in bank, and its amount
was believed ample, if so kept, to sustain specie payment both by the banks and by the Treasury, To ac-
complish this end, the act above referred to provided,
in its sixth section, that the Secretary of the Treasury
might deposit any of the moneys obtained on loans in
such solvent specie-paying banks as he might select,
and might check out his funds for the disbursements
of the government. The syndicate of banks were thus
intended to perform to the United States Treasury a
similar function to that of the Bank of England and the
Bank of France to their several governments in war
times.

need not dwell upon the result. Mr.
We
Chase was induced to refuse both conditions. He insisted that the banks should pay their installments of the
150 millions into the Treasury in gold. He thus dispersed and scattered the specie reserves of the banking
system and rendered inevitable the suspension of specie
payments, which occurred 28th December, 1861, two
days after which the Legal-Tender Act was introduced
into the House of Representatives at Washington. Notwithstanding the implicit condition set forth in the law
of August, 1861, which led the banks to hope that
they would be allowed to pay their installments on the
loan in the Clearing-House method which was adopted
for all other payments, Mr. Chase persistently called
upon the banks for payment in gold or Treasury notes,
and most of the amount was actually so paid, when the
transaction was finally closed up 3d February, 1 862.
With regard to the other recommendation from the
syndicate, it was violated at & much earlier period.
Mr.
Chase began to issue the demand notes in August, 1861,
and continued to do so until the meeting of Congress in
December. At that date his issues of demand notes
amounted to $24,560,325. In his report then presented to
Congress he speaks disparagingly of paper money, and
urged the creation of the national banking system. It
was sufficiently evident by that time, however, that the
suspension of the banks was imminent, in consequence

It is believed, in many quarters, that the lowest prices have now
been reached, and a partial recovery has, in consequence, taken
place but the belief is by no means general, as the process ot
recovery has, thus far, been so very slow. Were the belief at all

1st April, 1877
and the board executed six notes to meet this
loan, all due and payable 30th June, 1877, at the office of Latham,
Alexander & Co., New York, and as a security for this loan there
were deposited with said firm five hundred of the six psr cent,

Arkansas State Finances. Tbe State Board of Finance has
issued a statement under date of Aug. 4, 1S76, from which the
following is taken: The loan negotiated by the board under the
act of November 16, 1875, entitled " An act to authorize the State
Board of Finance to borrow money to pay expenses of the State
government, and to pledge bonds of the State as secuiity," was
paid off and discharged some days before it fell due, and the notes
given for the same have been returned to the board. The terms
of that loan are as follows Three gentlemf u of the city of New
York, together with the banking-house of Latham, Alexander &
:
one mill.
" The total amount of taxable property in the State is abont

were collected, would yield $240,000. The expenses of the State
government, including the sums appropriated by the legislature
for the support of the Arkansas Industrial University, and for
the maintenance of the institute for the education of the blind
and deaf mutes, if paid in currency, amount, annually, to more
than $300,000. For this reason, the recommendation was made of
an increase of two mills in the tax for general revenue. All of
the tax for this account is payable in State s-'rip, which, at the
time this recommendation was made, was selling at a discount of
more than fifty per centum of its par value. It is so manifestly
to the interest of the State and of the counties that this scrip
should be retired at the earliest possible day, that it is still
thought the addition to tbe rate was expedient and politic.

$60,000 for interest and sinking fund on tbe funding bonds under the act of the 2od of December, 1874, $183,000— making a
total of $248,000, or $8,000 more than the three-mill tax will prob ably produce. This deficiency, the members of the board think,
will be made up by collections on the delinquent list for preceding years. In their opinion it was unsafe to risk a less rate on

;
this account, in view of the unsettled condition of the finances
of the State, and the members of the legislature, who were con-
versant with the facts, almost unanimously concurred in the
recommendations of the board.
'•
The two-mill tax for school purposes was in the law of last
winter, there having been no increase made in it.
" la conclusion, the board state positively that it is not intended
to pay, in whole or in part, any interest or principal on any bonds
of the State issued prior to May 29, 1874, until special authority
therefor be given by law."
The revenue collected in currency is scarcely sufficient to re-imburse the money borrowed to defray the expenses of the government and to meet the interest on the bonds of the State that have
been issued since May, 1874, it being the sum of $294,485.
The collection in scrip is $827,923, of which |174,.325 U to be
paid out of the school fund, leaving $053,599 actually re-
deemed.
The amount of scrip outstanding on the 39th day of June last,
exclusive of interest, is $1,393,512 63. The present assessed
value of the taxable property in the State is $94,095,243, and the
bonded debt, principal and interest, up to June 30, 1876, as
claimed, is $15,908,810.

Board, under the joint resolution of January 18, 1875, have had
considerable correspondence with the parties claiming to hold the
bonds of the State, and almost invariably they have replied they
have no proposition to make, and would not expect the State to
offer any, as by her taxation and reported assets she could not
hope to piy the first interest on any new bonds she might issue,
and, until the scrip was either retired or brought to a standard
near par, it was useless to enter into any adjustment of the debt.
Hence the creditors are not pressing for payment or settlement,
but are waiting for the time to arrive when it can be seen exactly
what can be done. For these reasons the Board have made no

by any of their castomers for whom loans hare been
feature of their business which is first noticeable,
compared with that of many other loan agents at the West, is in
the fact that they negotiate loans secured by mortgage on
property in the city of Chicago, and while the rates of interest
are naturally a little lower than on farm property in Illinois or
States farther West, the character of the security lias all the
usual advantages pertaining to mortgage loans in a large and
prosperous city. As to their methods of businesi, the following

a decision as above, wliicU bearg local'y on the iasueg of county
bonds in Missouri, which have been repudiated liy the county
authorities of several counties, and more particularly on the Normal School bonds of Jolinson County, issued under an act which
conforms to the requirements of tlie State Constitution. The
bonds recite this law, and the Chief Justice of the County Court,
as well as the County .Clerk, certifies over the county seal that
more than two-thirds of the logal voters of the county gave their
consent for the bonds to issue, yet the County Court of Johnson
County, on the 18th ultimo, ordered the Treasurer not to pay the
coupons due August 1, 1870. The decision referred to is as follows:
"In the case of Evans ajjainst the town of Coloma, as reported
in the Central Law Journal,' the Supreme Court of the United
States said that where the act of Legislature incorporated a rail
road company with power to build and operate its road, and
authorized the executive officers of towns {or counties) to subscribe for its capital stock in the name of the town (or county),
and issue in payment its bonds to the company, provided a majority of all the voters of the town (or county) shall at an election
favor such subscription, which fact shall appear by the sworn
statement of the clerk of the town (or county), showing the vote,
amount voted, etc.: Held, that in a suit brought by a honafide
holder of bonds so issued (the bonds reciting the act), that it is not
an open question whether all the pre-requisites to tlie issue of the
bonds have been complied with. The persons appointed to decide, having decided and certified to their decision, the matter has
passed |into judgment. Their recitals are a decision declaring
the contingency to have happened, on the occurrence of which
the authority to issue the bonds was complete. The bonajide
purchaser is not bound to look beyond these recitals for evidence
of the existence in pais."
A despatch from St. Joseph, Aug. 10, said " The County
Court of Buchanan connty to-day decided finally not to pay the
interest on $400,000 bonds issued by the county in 1863 and 1839

the decision ot the United States courts. The money to pay the
interest is in the county treasury.
The ability of the county to
pay is ample. The quesaon is purely one of law. The Board
of Trade of the city urged' the payment with great earnestness."
The St. lioms Republican a&y a: " A meetins of citizens of
Morgan county was held at the court house in Versailles, on the
7th inst., to consider the question of continuing to pay interest on
flOO.OOO county bonds uolawfully issued, as the citizens declare,
to the Osage Valley & Southern Kansas Railroad.
After
speeches explaining the situation, the meeting adopted resolutions, with only one dissenting vote, demanding ot the county
:ourt that it revoke all orders for levying and collecting taxes to
pay interest on the bonds and to purchase them, pledging the
citizdns to hold the court harmless."
The Lafayette County Court iias compromised and funded
its 10 per cent bonds, issued to the St. Louis & Lexington road to
the amount of §27,810. They havo been compromised at eighty
cents on the dollar, at six per cent interest.

Surplus or Safety Fund Insurance Law.— We see from the

Law
:
entitled "An Act to provide securitv i^ainet extraordinary corflaand for tUe creation of safety funds hy fire InMirance companies" is
the important, laws passed by the Minnesota legislature at its xession
of laet winter. This is the same law, enbEtanli'illy. in its terms and provisions, as was enacted, undei- the same 'title, by the New Yorlc le^islatllte
in
1814, and has since been known as the New York snrplns law.
It Is the outgrowth of a necessity, eftabllshed by the destrnctive fires of Chicago and
Boston, for greater protection to the insured in cases of extraordinary conflagrations. It is designed to make companies as goed as they can be made, and
to afford to policy holders the fullest possible protection. Limiting the dividends to be pad stockholders to a reasonable rate, it reijuires ail surplus
earnings to be carried to reserve funds nntii said reserve funds equal the capital stock of the company, and provides that these leserve^ may be still further
Increased out of subicquent profits. This law was so fully discussed in the
last annual report of this department that it is unnecessary to speak of
it in
detail here.
It has. In fact, been under public review ever since lis enactment
by the New York legislature In 1874. Noinsurance law upon 'he statute books
of any State has ever been subject lo one- half the discussion this has, andihc
result is that it has not been svccessfully assailed yet. The very bet writciB
and thinkers on insurance matters, including very nearly all of them, give it
their nnqaulifled approval. That feature of the law, which provides that submission to its restrictions is, in the first instance, optional with the companies, Is perhaps its principal defect. If all companies could be compelled to
come under its provisions, it would beof froater va ue. Butthe time is coming, in my opinion, when all leading companies will work under this or similar

3. On improved premises, policies of insurance are

3. With each mortgage there is a full abstract of title,
which is held by Messrs. Baldwin, Walker k Co., as are the insurance policies, in trust for the several holders of the notes secured by mortgage on the respective pieces of property. These
notes are transferrable by simple endorsement and delivery,
without formal assignment.
The firm expresses much confidence in loans carefully made in
Chicago, based upon their past experience and upon the present
outlook there, and they invite correspondence from parties having;
money to lend, offering to furnish entirely satisfactory references
to parties who may desire such.
The rates of interest now
offered being 8 to 9 per cent. are quite high enough on good
city property, and on these teru.s many capitalists, and particularly corporations, would much prefer to lend in Cbicago, rather
than seek a higher rate of interest in more remote places.

greater or less extent, that portion now being harvested.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Produce Bank,
and
—
on the 1.5th insi., Mr. Samuel Conover was elected President and
Mr. N. O. Suydam was appointed cashier. Both gentlemen have
been connected with the institution since its organization, and
are presumed to be well fitted for ;h9 positions they will hold. Mr.
Conover is an old banker, having been lor twelve years connected
with the Merchants' National Bank, and six years paying teller of
the Fourth National.
We call the attention of investors to the card of Mr. J. SEverett, of Mount Ayr, Iowa, in to day's Chronicle. Mr. Everett is an attorneyat law and loan agent, and offers first mortgages on Iowa farms, on which he guarantees ten per cent on the
investment, and which he claims to be as safe as Government

bonds.

The Chicago & Alton Railroad Company has declared a

Paton & Co., in New York, on and after September 13 next.
Transfer books close August 19, and re-open September 13.
Mr. Daniel A. Moran offers, as per advertisement in another

are due in 1901, and are the only debt existing against the City of
Lockport. The assessed valuation of the city is ^7,000,000
the
actual valuation is $15,000,000; and tbe population is 15,000.

have been
sligbtly irregular in tone and prices, in consequence of the reported negotiations for the placing of 4J per cent, bonds by
Secretary Morrill. These are the bonds authorized under the old
law by which the present fives of 1881 were created, but the
reports have not yet taken such definite shape as to give any
A Washington press despatch to-day,
terms of negotiation.
however, says there is no doubt that the Secretary entertains
proposals for these bonds from an American-English Syndicate.
The market, as usual, " discounts" all the effect* of a completed
negotiation, and the prices of five-twenties of 1865 which would
be liable to be called in, have fallen off. At tbe Treasury sale of
the $2,160,000 five per cents last Saturday, there were nine separate
bids for the whole amount, and the bonds were awarded to Fisk
Hatch

State and Railroad Bonds. The most active bonds Tennessees, Virginias, and Louisiana consols have all been strong
compared with last week. Tennessees are stronger on tbe report
from Nashville of a feeling opposed to repudiation, although
this is coupled with a sentiment opposed to any increase in
taxes ; there is also some discussion as to paying the July, 1875,
coupons. Virginias are firmer on a home demand. Louisianas
have recovered a good deal in tone, but transactions are few
here, as buyers and sellers are wide apart in their price?.
Comptroller Green awarded New York City 20 50-year 5 per
cent currency bonds at 100.08.
Railroad bonds, on a moderate business, are generally higher,
and on many of the popular issues, particularly those having interest falling due soon, the prices steadily advance.

national legislators have adjourned for the season, and are quietly
settled in their own homes.
It Is not necessary to account for
this by supposing a dishonest intention, or even an indifference
to sound finances, as existing in the minds of any particular set
of men the great number of measures introduced at every ses
sion of Congress affecting a variety of subjects of surpassing
importance, from the regulation of the currency down to the
minor tariff duties, is sufficient to keep the buMness world in a
perpetual state of uncertainty, that Is prohibitory of transactions
based on a calculation ot future events.
Our local money market continues in the same easy condition,
with abundance of funds offering on government collateral at 1
per cent., and the rates on miscellaneous stock collaterals 1@3
per cent. Strictly prime paper sells at 3@4 per cent.
On Thursday the Bank of England weekly report showed a
gain in gpecie of £801,000, and the discount rate remains at 2 per
cent., while in the open market short bills are discounted as low
as I of 1 per cent.
'Ihe last statement of the New York City Clearlng-House banks,
Issued August 12, allowed a decrease of $683,935 in the excess
above their 25 per cent, legal reserve, the whole of sucli excess
being $23,146,435, against $23,839,350 the previous week.

Lake Shore, Michigan Central, and the leading western specialties—Northwest, St. Paul and Rock Island— have been the principal features. There are few new facts bearing upon the actual

supplemented in the market by rumors, and by hypothetical
statements in the newspapers. The Northwestern report published last week, seems to be accepted as generally favorable,

partly in consequence of the reported negotiations for the
gale of 4i per cent U. S. bonds, and also due, in some meaBure, to
the adjournment of Congress, and the end of anymore Bilver bills
for the present.
On Wednesday the Treasury sold $2J200,080
gold, realized from the sale of the Alabama-claims bonds last

Presidenl's report says
This exhibit is highly satisfactory and encouraging to the
directors, and they trust it may be so to the stockholdera. These
results have been accomplished by material redaclion in the
aalarie^ of all officers, clerks and agents, and cljse attention to
details, and seeing that all material and supplies were furnished
at the lowest market price for cash.
Expectations indulged in, in last report, have been more than
realized. The usual semiannual dividends of 1| per cent, on the
capital stock were paid to the stockholders for the fiscal year on
the first days ol October and April. About $95,000 of tbe floating
debt was paid off during the fiecal year, besides paying interest
on the bonded debt and dividends to the stockholders. Tbe
directors expect to be able to pay off the small balance of floating
debt without interfering with dividends; and, with this end in
view, a resolution was passed by your directors last September,
ordering that at least 10 per cent, of the net earnings, each month,
should he applied to reducing the floating debt before any dividends were paid to the stockholders. Last year more than this
amount was appropriated for that purpose, without interfering
with tbe regular semi-annual dividends, as the foregoing state-

It is the purpose of the management of your road to make all
Improvements of tbe most approved and substantial character
hence, in tbe last two or three years, a large amount of iron
bridging has been done on the line, and it is our intention to
continue this improvement by adding iron bridges whenever
-wooden ones, of any considerable importance, need re-building.
Last spring, we adopted the use of steel rails entirely on the
Chattanooga division, and laid down 12} miles in March, April
and May, and are now receiving, at Johnsonville, twelve hundred
tons more of steel rails for the same division, which will lay
about fourteen miles more, and to which we expect to add
enough to make twenty-five miles during the fiscal year just
entered upon in all, by tbe Isi of July next, say 37^ miles.
This improvement may be continued until that division of your
line is entirely laid with steel railp, without making any debt or

are laid continuously, and the good iron taken up is used to repair iron track on both the Chattanooga and St. Louis divisions ;
and the damaged iroj is disposed of, or re-rolled, for the St.
Louis division. The saving in the use of steel over iron rails is
very great, and when the Chattanooga division is entirely laid
with tiiem, it will add considerably to the net earn logs of the road
and to the dividends to the ttockbo'ders.
The local freight business of your line increased last year,
over the preceding year, f 104,030, which is a very encouraging
feature, and there are interests on the line of your roads being
enlarged and new ones being built up, which promise to add
largely to the local business.
During the month of March, 1876; your directors made a contract
with the Southern States Coal, Iron and Land Company (of England), limited, by which it is expected that the coal and iron interest
will be developed in Soquatchie Valley and iron and steel works
established at Battle Creek (South Pittsburg), on tbe line of the
Jasper branch. The company referred to are now industriously
at work, laying the foundation for works at Battle Creek and
opening coal mines in Sequatchie Valley.
Your company
undertake to extend the Jasper branch up the Sequatchie
Valley for a distance not exceeding fourteen miles. At present, only seven and three-quarter miles will be built to their

The market opened the week rather qaiet for cotton on the
Monday there was a revival ot demand, for export as
well as for consumption, and on Tuesday the current quotations
were advanced l-lOc, to 12fc. for middling uplands, at which
price there was a large business done for export, both on that
day and on Wednesday. Yesterday the market relapsed into
quietude, under the combined influence of tamer accounts from
Liverpool and the decline in gold. To-day, it continued quiet, but
quotations were fully maintained, and ordinary was advanced Jc.
For future delivery there was on Monday a sharp decline,
from precisely what causa did not fully appear. The Bureau
report, which appeared late on Tuesday, was regarded as giving
a more favorable view of the crop than had been anticipated, and
it is understood that its loadinjf features were cabled to Liver
pool oa Sunday. Perhaps this explains the weakness of the
markets on Monday. Tuesday, part of the decline was mcovered,to be followed by weakness on Weilnesday, and a decline yesterday to the lowest prices for the later months that have been
quoted in some time; The weather, according to the Associated
Press reports, though better than last week, especially in the
ToMisjissippi Valley, has not been quite such as is needed.
day, under continued adverse accounts from Liverpool, and a further decline in gold, futures again fell off l-llic, with a feverish
and unsettled tone.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 131,300
bales, including
free on board. For immediate delivery the
total sales foot up this week 10,781 bales, including 4,477 for exin
port, 5,132 for consumption, 1,173 for speculation, and
transit.

to-night that the caterpillars have now webbed up. If we can

GarrcU Parish, Floyd, La. The weather has been very dry

there have been showers. Corn will be poor, but generally the
cotton is good. The plant is small and stunted here, but in the
bottom lands it looks better than for many a year. It has grown

Morehouse Parish, Bastrop, La. The crops in my parish (or
county) have been quite diversified
in my own immediate
vicinity the cotton crops are good, and are growing well; the late
corn not very good; old corn matured and pretty good.
In some
parts of the parish the corn crop is almost a total failure, and
cotton won't make exceeding a half crop (that is mostly land that
was overflowed by the unusual high water from the Mississippi^;
in other parts both corn and cotton are good.
In my immediate
vicinity cotton has fruited well, and is generally healthy and
strong, but in others it is not so heavily fruited, and is shedding
some in consequence of dry weather. The rains have been very
partial.
There has been rain in some parts of the parish every
week, while there are places that there has been none for two
months. Picking will be general gome time between the 1st and

Bossier Parish, Btlletue, La. The growth since July 1st has
been rapid. Overflow of Red River did not do any harm in this
parish.
The promise now is excellent; particularly is this so in
the bottom lands. On the high land there is some shedding:, and
rain is needed.
Union Parish, DonnsviUe, La. The progress of the cotton
crop has been very rapid during the whole month of July, and now
looks very fine fine looking considering the age; fruiting well:
prospects favorhble. Weatber has been very good, though the
showers are somewhat partial rained about one day every week
heavy rains between the 8th and 15tli of July. Picking will'
begin this year Sept. Ist., and will be general about the 13th.
ValdveU Palish, Columbia, La. The cotton plant has made
good progress the past few weeks. Since August Ist we have
had fine rains, which were much needed. Generally (that is with
a few exceptions) the condition at present is favorable. Picking
will be general about the middle of September.
Concordia Parish., Vldalia, Li. The weather has been too
dry; corn is very poor; cotton is doing better, but is small, except
that ydaated after the oveiflow, which has made an excellent
growth, but will require a fine fall to prndnccj much.

PidaskiCo., Campbell, Ark. The growth of the cotton plant
during this mouth has been unusually rapid. It is much heavier
than usual that is, as regards the plant itself ^being at least
one-sixth taller than for a score of years at this date.
The number of bolls falls far short of what should be expected from such
a rank growth, the plants being unusually long. The crop is at
least twenty days later than last year.

Memphis, I'ennessee. It rained the first three days this week,
the rainfall reaching fifty nine hundredths of an inch. Since
then the weather has been very hot. Crop accounts are more
favorable. The weather on the uplands has been warm, sultiy
and wet. The reported damage to the crop here is much exaggerated. On the river bottoms they have had good weather, and
hence the promise is an abundant crop. Average thermometer
during the week S3, highest 91 and lowest 75.
Mobile, Alabama.
It has been showery two days, and it has
rained severely two days and also this evening. The rest of the
week has been pleasant. Accounts from the interior are conflicting. Worms and caterpillars are reported everywhere, and great
injury is undoubtedly being done in the cane-brake seciion of
Alabama. Rust is developing badly in some localities, and there
is a general complaint of weedy :;rowth.
We are having too

since July 1st has been quite rapid, but at the present time,
Aug. 11, the condition is less favorable, owing to the excessive
rains of the last five days.
Many of the bottom lands have been
overflowed, a thing unheard of heretofore at this season, and
while the injury to the lowland crop is very great, the upland
crop has also been damaged from the protracted wet and cloudy
weather. Picking, owing to the rains and the backwardness of
the crop, will not begin before September 10, nor be general
until the 20th or 25th.
Pontotoc Co., Cherry Creek, Miss. The progress since July
1st has been good
growth very rapid. The condition now i»
good, with few exceptions. The plant was never more healthy.
It has fruited tolerably well.
The weather in some sections has
been rather too wet, causing the growth to be so rapid in some
lands that the cotton has gone to weed without fruiting so well.
The nature of the weather has been very seasonable can't give

it was favorable.

indication as to future months, though the present outlook woold
at least indicate injury from caterpillars over a considerable mctlon.
Still, there would seem to be sufiicient In what we hare
given above, added to our knowledge of what the season was last
year after August 1st, to make one cautions, and not jump to the
high.

see that even in 1370 the condition for
more than one point above the present
comparison of that kind does not, however,
furnish an accurate conclusion, as it is obtained by adding up
the condition of each State, and dividing that result by the number of States; hencj, whether large or smill, productive or
unproductive, each State has in such an average an equal standing. It is more satisfactory therefore to adopt the plan pursued
by the Bureau last year in its final figurjs, (see the matter explained in Chronicle Jan. 15, 1876, pages 67-63) for we thus
obtain a result which correctly represents the promise of the
present crop August Ist, according to the Bureau's information

The weather durinc the monih of July was "unfavorable," being extremely
hot and dry. and much less favorable than during the same period last year.
The "stand" of cotton is a "good average," bu: not equal to last year. Extreme drouth during June and Ju'y c'-.ccked the growth of the plant, which is
comparatively small and has caused it to mature too rapidly and too early ; In
some places it is " blooming to the top."
While it has fruited well, the drouth has caused it to "shed" badly, and
much of the frui,t has dropped off. The p.esent condition is very unfavorable
when compared with last year.
In the northwestern corner of the State, along the Arkansia line, light
showers have fallen, and there the prospects are bettor. From the parishes

Georgia. 103 replies from 57 counties under dates ranging
from July 28 to Aug. 3.
The weather has been very warm and dry the past month, which, for cotton
may be construed as favorable. In some localities there are complaints of too
mnch rain. The seasons, so far. have been more favorable than the last. The
Btands of cotton have generally been good better than last year. The plant is
forming, blooming and boiling well, with some comp'aints of too much weed.
The condition of the crop is good it is a week to ten days later than last
year, bat clearer of grass and generally in a more satisfactory condition. In
Southern and Soathweet Georgia there are complaints of rust and caterpillar,
and we may expect some damage therefrom. From Upper Georgia the reports
of the arasf hupper are general. So far, these pests, except in a few instances,
have not attacked the cotton fields; still, fanners are in uread tliat they will
turn in upon these fields at any moment.

coupled with a heavy advance in some descriptions of silk goods,
have tended to inspire buyers with confidence in values, and less
making purchases has been witnessed than for a
long time past. There has not, however, been % trace of speculation, and investments were made in accordance with the probable requirements of the early fall business, which promises fair
results.
The jobbing trade has shown some improvement, owing
to the arrival in the market of buyers from distant parts of th&
South (who have commenced stoc'iing up with a iair degree of
hesitancy in
liberality),

Domestic Cotton Goods. There has been a moderate movement in cotton goods for export, the shipments for the week
having been 713 packages, the most important lots of which
were sent as follows
Brazil, 373 packages Venezuela, 91 do.;
Cuba, 73 do,; British Poeseesions in Africa, 49 do.; Havre, 29 do.;
Canary Islands, 17 do,, &c. The export trade to Great Britain
was very light, having only reached 13 packages. Brown cotton*
were in moderate demand and fairly steady. Bleached shirtings
continued in steady request, and the best corporation makes
were firmly held, with the exception of wide sheetings, which
were a little off. Cheviots weie in good demand, but othermakes of colored cottons moved slowly, and corset jeans were quiet

offered to 4c. asked for the beet extra standard cloths, with a light
supply offering. Prints were in very good demand, and have aa
upward tendency. The supply is unusually small for the tim&
of year, and is likely to continue so, as the Sprague, Ancona and
Arnold print works are entirely closed. Allen's, Garner's, and
Freeman's prints were severally advanced Jc, and the stocks of
Merrimack, Oritntal, Freeman's, Allen's, and Southbridge prints
Lave been eold up to production. Ginghams were in steady
request, ard there was more inquiry for cotton dress gocdB>
which are in limited supply. Heavy cotton hosiery was in good
demand, and there was an increased distribution of grain bags,
carpet warps, twines, batts, and waddings, by both agents and
:
;
jobbers.
—
Domestic Woolen Goods. The demand for men'swear
woolens has been irregular, but on the whole fairly satisfactory.
Overcoatings were in steady request, and a few heavy transactions
occurred. Cloths were lightly dealt in, and doeskins were not
^active.
Alden's stock of doeskins was sold to a leading jobbing
bouse at a considerable reduction from nominal holding rates^
Cassimeres of new and attractive styles were taken with some
freedom by jobbers, but goods not strictly in accordance with the
present taste dragged and were not unfrequently offered at prices
less than the cost of manufacture, without exciting much enthusiasm on the part of buyers. Worsted coatings were a trifle less
active, but tho supply of leading makes is in good shape and
prices rule steady.

Foreign Dry Goods. The demand for imported goods has
been sluggish and in marked contrast t3 the activity displayed io
domestic fabrics. Silks were quiet but decidedly strong (because
of the late advance in raw silk), and some holders have advanced
prices of piece silks, velvets and ribbons from 10 to 15 per cent,
while an advance of 35 per cent on twists and sewing silks is
said to be contemplated by domeiitic manufacturers. Dress goods
moved slowly, and linen and white goods were quiet. Woolen
goods for men's wear remained dull, and prices are unsatisfactory
Trimmings, hosiery, gloves and small wares were
to importers.
At auction, moderate lines of ribbons, silks and
