our mines, will directly benefit all branches of manufacture by
ultimately securing cheaper and more abundant coal, and while
we are not driven to it by a necessity similar to that which com
pels our British neighbors, our mine owners will not long neglect
to avail themselves of the best results reached by the experiments
now in progress in the English, Scotch and Welsh mines.
Another important result of the " famine" is that it has iaught

with a view to securing more perfect combustion, and obtaining from a given amount of coal, a greater amount of heat or

have shown that a pound of coal, entirely consumed, can be made
&c.,

much water as is evaporated in ordinary steam boilers to the pound of fuel consumed in the furnaces beneath them, and to attain these experimental results in
actual practice is, at present, the object of much careful research
A new stimulus has also been given to the efTorts always making
to economise fuel employed for domestic purposes by the improveto evaporate nearly twice as

for improvement in this respect in this country.

The market for commercial paper has been much unsettled,
and rates can hardly be quoted in any classified list the best
short date paper has sold from 7@!) per cent. The banks decline
to make any discounts except as a favor to their regular customers
and with the hardening tendency of the call loan market paper is
slow of sale. As an illustration of the irregularity of tlie market
we have heard of some first-class paper going as low as per
cent, wliich one month ago would have found ready sale at 6i@7
per cent. We omit quotations.
ITnlted States Bonds. Oovernment bonds have fallen off
with the decline in gold, and although prices this afternoon were
a little Iiigher than yesterday, and the general tone also firmer,
the decline of the week is fully 1 per cent on 1867s, and about 1^
on 10-40s. London prices remain nearly unchanged. During the
early part of the week, and before the decline in gold took place,
some of the German bankers were purchasing freely, and had
difficulty in obtaining round lots of the popular bonds, such as
five-twenties of 180?. At the Treasury purchase on Wednesday
offerings amounted to $3,236,6.50, but only $34,300 were taken
below par in gold. In the present state of the money market
t is hoped that the Treasury will purchase enough next week to
make up the deficiency.

OF THE

NOKTIIERN PACIFIC RAILROAD CO.MPANY.
On the completion of this season's contracts, there will be five
jiUNDUED AND SBVKNTEKN miles of the main lino of tlio road in
operation, uniting Lake Superior with the Missouri River, and
securing tlie largo traffic of tlie North west. This amount of road
also entitles the company to ten million lour hundred thousand
acres ol land, located in Central Minnesota, Eastern Dakota, and
ill
the Columbia Valley on the Pacific Coast. The bonds are
secured by a first mortgage on the road, its traffic and franchise,
and on the entire land grant received from the Government.
Tlie rate of interest is seven and three-tentlis gold Bcjuivalent to
about eight and a quarter per cent currency. Believing the
security to be ample and the rate of interest satisfactory, we
recommeud these bonds as a desirable investment. Holders of

change until Tuesday, when the demand for money increased,
and the tendency has ever since been towards decidedly higher
rates.
Several influences have combined to produce this result
in the first place there has been a considerable demand for currency from the West, particularly from Chicago, were the break
in the great wheat " corner," wliich was hastened in some measure by the calling in of loans by the Chicago banks, has led to
an unusually early demand for currency from this city. A second
influence is found in the operations of the gold clique, whose
purcliases and sales have been on a large scale, and who are
known to be carrying a heavy amount of gold the effect of this
being somewhat similar to that of au active stock speculation, in

Railroad bonds are steady on a moderate demand several new

our remarks of last week in regard to the present
prices of soine of the more prominent of the old railroad bonds
sold at the New York Stock Exchange, we may observe that the
greater number of these bonds belong to separate systems of
lailroad.
Each of these systems embraces in its conso.idated
Puraiiinfjf

number of roads whose mortgage
bonds are still known under the name of the company originally
issuing them
thus the Great Western Railroad Company ol

had no lejral existence for some years, the first being now a part
of the Toledo Wabash & Western, and the ]atl;er a part of the
lines, or branches,

known on the Stock Board List tiil the date of their maturity.
In regard to the valu
of such bonds, secured on lines of road
which have been consolidated into or become branches of a larger
system, there are two elements to be considered first, the
security furnished ii^ the mortgage on the road itself; and

The Chicago RalIroad».-The Railroad Gazette has the following article under the almve title:
"All the Cliicago rail roads having issued reports since the beginning of the year, covering from five to twelve months of the year
1870, including the period a/Tecttd by the Chicago fire, we may
find it profitable to compare their operations, and ascertain the
work of the lines as a whole— something we are not likely to consider when we deal with each separately. This study will perhaps be more valuable to Cliicago and its merchants than to the
railroad men, but is worth the attention of the latter, as bv it they
may obtain a broader view of the general field in which they
work than otherwise.
In what tvo have to say, we consider only the lines from
Chicago northward, westward and southward, excluding the lines
to the east, which have a different office to perform and form a
system by themselves. Wo therefore present side by side the results of the operations of Illinois Central, the Chicago & Alton,
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific, and the Chicago & Northwestern roads, which are the
only lines which bring considerable quantities of agricultural
produce to the citv, and carry lumber and merchandise from it.
The Chicago, Danville & Vincennes properly belongs to this system but as it has been open but a few months and Imf but lately

and stock that finds a market in that city, with the exception of
some millions of bushels, chiefly of corn, which arrive by canal.
In the first place, let us know the extent of the systems whose
operations we chronicle. The aggregate length of the five roads
—or system of roads, rather— was 4,397 miles in 1871-73, and 3.972
miles in 1870-71; the increase being 335 miles, or 8 percent.

five companies report a decrease.

of the relative productiveness of the roads, can be had from the

Here we see that every company shows a decrease in earnings
per mile, varying from 11 per cent in the case of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy (which has recently acquired a number of
new branches, with moderate traffic, which bring down the average from the former very large amount) to 3 per cent on the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific. The increase in the average mileage worked is very large on three lines and nil on the others

With an

increase of 8 per cent in
mileage, we have, it is true, a decrease of nearly 1 per cent in the
number of passengers carried (tUe minor traffic), but an increase
of !2i per cent in the tons of freight hauled. If we count a passenger as equivalent to a ton of freight, as is customary, we have an
increase of 7 per cent very nearly equal to the increase in mileage, which is exceedingly favorable, considering that the new
lines naturally have less favorable locations (the best having
been taken first), and can have only begun to develop a traffic.
The chanijes in passengers carried are not very great on any
line, the Illinois Central losing about one-sixteenth and the
Chicago, Bur)ington & Qnincy gaining about one-twentieth.
It is evident, therefore, that the ratts and the traffic are not
quite uniform and the following table will bring to light the
discrepancies

The market the past week has been variaile. The last few
days it has shown considerable firmness, and prices have, in fact,
advance ic 88 compared with last Friday, low middling uplands
closinsr to-night at 31c. on the sp,-}!, and 30 .5-16 to 18f for September >o Dcember. During the first half of the week, however, the
ra'irket ruled very dull, the sales of cotton on the spot the three
days ending Tuesday night aggregating only 3,628 bales, mainly
for consumption, and 16,300 bales for future delivery.
But on
Wednesday, with stronger accounts from Liverpool, there was a
fair degree ot activity lor export, and prices improved ^c, the de
mand for future delivery still continuing small, and prices were
without general advance. On Thursday the market for spot cotton was again better, middling uplands closing at 32c., with a
large buf-iness for export and consumption, but for future delivery
there was less buoyancy while cotton on the spot had advanced

Weather Reports by Telegraph.— There

is increased complaint in our telegrams to-night ot the prevalence of rust and the
shedding of bolls, while the reports of the presence of and injury
done by the army worm in Alabama are more emphatic. On the
other hand, they have had rain in Texas, whici), it it has been
exieniive enough, may help to improve the prospects in that
Stale, which had begun to be less favorable on account of the
drought. Our Ualveston correspondent states that it has rained
on t" o days there picking is progressing finely, and the planters
are marketting their cotton freely. There was an error last week
in our statement ot the weather at New Orleans.
As the telegram reached us, it said that there had been rain on every day
but one. Our correspondent telegraphs us this week that he

reports of injury from caterpillars our correspondent believes to

week tlie complaints ot rust are becoming more extensive, an
our correspondent believes it is spreading. At Memphis it has
been warm and dry all the week they are needing rain now ; the
plant is stated to bo shedding, and the reports ot the condition of
the plant are less favorable. FroLi Nashville our correspondents
telegraph that the crop is developiiig very promisingly that i'

has been some depression.
Flour has arrived more freely, though the receipts have not
been excessive. There has been a great pressure to sell the new
flour arriving, and in old flour much irregularity has prevailed.
The decline, however, has been more in sympathy with wheat
than from any other cause, and as compared with last Friday
prices are 50@75c per bbl lower. Some favorite brands from old
wheat are, however, not offered at the reduction, in the belief
that the limited supply now on hand will all be wanted at high
prices for mixing with the new stock. Hence much of the irregularity which buyers encounter on atiempting to operate. Today the market was only moderately active, bat prices ruled about
steady.

Wheat

took a sharp turn downward, selling pretty freely on
Tuesday and Wednesday at $1 47@1 50 for No. 3 Spring and
new red Winter yesterday, however, the market was firmer,
especially for sound old Spring, with a good demand both for
;

export and milling at $1 50 for No. 3 Chicago. But the chief
event of the past week has been the '• break" in the speculative

shipments eastward from Chicago were on a scale of almost unexampled magnitude thus the market was left without any
adequate support, as speculators were not inclined to operate.
Yesterday, with a more active and very general demand, there
was a recovery to 6U@61ic. for prime mixed. To-day the market
was again a shade firmer, and moderately active at 61i(a63c. for
prime mixed afloat.
Bye has been dull and unsettled. The new crop is much supeBarley remains nominal, but a boatrior in quality to the old.
load of Canada malt sold to-day at $L 35, cash.
Oats have been very unsettled. The receipts from the new
crop have been increased, and they have embraced every variety
of quality and condition, selling from 32 to 43e. per'bush. Prime
old Western have ruled firm and active at or about 44c. afloat.
To day the market was quiet and unchanged.

from the trade and a reduction of stocks in refiners' bands. Softs showed
more tone early In the week, and advanced a shade on all grades. Later
there was more steadiness in hards, and Ihe range of quotations has been
shortened by advancing the inside rate, and sales are mostly at better prices
than were realized last week. The market closes steady at this improvcmont.

TEA.
heat has interfered with the distribution of goods daring the
week, and beyond a limited call for lines the busiuois in teas has been almost
neglected. Aside from a general indli^position to do business during such
weather, the tea movement is further affeclid by the apparent softening tendency of prices on nearly ail grades. The new teas arriving sre at a price
that gives very little margin at Ihe current rates; but slock.« ore piling up. and
holders, witli a view to getting the market down to a point where buyers will
take hold with some eagerness, there has been a fair demand for the lower
grades, and the trade in second hands is mainly in these descriptions. The
receipts of

the week, and foot up only 8,500 half chests Oolongs, 2,000 do Greens, and
about 1,000 do Japans, with small lots of other marks, all on private terms.

an active trade demand holders of Rio Coffees have weakened a trifle, but our
quotations show no decline on invoice lots or jobbing. In other descriptions the movement has not been very free and the tendency of stocks has
been to accumulate. The:e has been a reduction in the supply of Javas, which
arc held steady at full former values. Maracaibo and Lagiiayra grades are in
considerably Increased supply, and these with Porto Rico, Costa Rica and St.
Domingos, the stocks of which are not materially altered, show a bsrely steady
tone. The market on ihe whole, while only quotably lower on Brazils, is
rather in buyer's favor, and is likely to be shaded unless the demand improves
somewhat. The sales since our last have been 5,000 bags Rio ei " North
America: 4,339 bags ex '• Smiling Morn;" 4,000 bags Santos ex "John Walters," at Hampton Roads to come here
1,148 bags Rio ex " Paladin" at Baltimore 862 bags Maracuibo ex sundry vessels, and 1,800 bags St. Domingo

concentrated in strong hands, there has been no apparent weakening on the
part of holders, and to obtain any lots refiners have had to meet holders' views
pretty fuily. The demand continues fair at the close, with a steady business

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Fridat. p. M.. Aug. 23. 187J
There has been a moderate increase in the business from first

handu durini; the past week, but trade has undoubtedly been
restricted by tlie excessive heat, which not only prevents buyers
who are here from canvassing the market freely, but also has
the e§ect of keepinjr back dealers in the interior who see little in
the present temperature of the atmosphere to warrant them in
laying in stocks tor the tall distribution. The larger houses in
the interior are purchasing with some freedom, and some ot our
local jobbers

is no apparent indication of a poor season's business, there
every reason for believing that the trade will be of a hand-tomouth nature, and that the purchases of retails will drag throughout the season. This is usually the case when a season opens
late, and there is certainly every indication that the opening of
the coming Autumn trade will be unusually late.
The
finances of the trade are in a healthy condition, and should the
agricultural products be as successfully marketed as is now
promised by every apparent indication, the aggregate business of

Canton flannels are selling moderately, but
the market is without notable feature. Printing cloths are strong
and unchanged, with a fair demand from printers. Prints are
selling liberally at lljc. for standard dark fancies, and the
market shows a good degree of firmness at this quotation. Other
cottons are in moderate demand at unchanged prices.
Domestic Woolen Goods. The demand for woolens has been
light during the past week, and prices have to be sustained by
holders in the face of a dull and depressing general tone. There
is some inquiry for fine fancy cassimeres, with~sale8 making at
fair prices, but in the medium and lower grades the absence of a
general demand has left the market somewhat unsettled, and
while holders quote about former figures, prices are to a great
extent nominal. Faced goods and coatings ara selling fairly, with
a good degree of firmness prevailing, and the market wholly unchanged. Flannels have sold fairly since our last, but are droop,

ago. Domestic shawls have sold well, and are fully sustained.
Foreign Goods. The market was quiet during the first part
of the weet, but later there has been rather more inquiry, and
