FOREIGN COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STA TES.
The movements of foreign trade during the past three
years have been so remarkable as to engross the attention of all persons interested in the commercial and
financial condition
of the country.
The
subject has
been frequently alluded to in the Ciieoxicle, and
extended tables, compiled from the Bureau of Statistics, have been published, showing the course of exports
and imports, and the so-called balance of trade. Mr.
Joseph Nimmo, Jr., of the Bureau of Statistics, has just
issued a report, accompanied
by a series of tables, in
which the figures for the last fiscal year, ending June
30, 1878, are compared with previous years, with the

merchandise into the United States largely exceeded the value of
ihe exports of domestic merchandise from the United States, Ihe
excess of imports ranging from $-39,000,000 to $182,000,000.
During the years ending June 30, 1876, 1877 and 1878, however, the exports of domestic merchandise from the United States
greatly exceeded the net imports of merchandise into the United
States, the excess of exports increasing rapidly from year to vear.

Our imports of merchandise have fallen off each year since the

Our exports of domestic merchandise, on the other. hand, have
greatly increased since 1868. From this table it appears that the

The arrivals of gold during the week have been upon a very
moderate scale, but, owing to the advance in the Bank rate, there
has been less demand for export. The silver market has been
very dull, and the price of fine bars has fallen to 52 5-16d"
per ounce. The demand has been principally for the Continent,
the steamer for the East having taken out only £450,000. Mexican dollars are worth only 51id. per ounce. The Council bills on
India sold on Wedndeaday at reduced rates, only Is. 7 13-16d. per
rupee being obtained for drafts on Calcutta and Is. 7|d. for those
on Bombay. The following prices of bullion are from the circular of Messrs. Pixley

In addition to the Taif Vale dividend, a bonus of 3 per cent per
annum was paid on the ordinary and first preference stocks. The
dividend on the London Chatham & Dover Company's 4i per
cent arbitration preference stock was £3 5s. per cent for the year
ended June 30, against £3 14s. in the previous year. With
regard to the Great Eastern no dividend was announced, but the
amount carried forward viz., £11,400, was rather more than was
brought in, whereas last year a sum of £35,571 was included in
the accounts, while only £1,283 was carried forward.
The next series of public colonial-wool sales will commence
on Tuesday the 20th inst., and, as at present arranged, will terminate on October 10 next. The arrivals to date amount to 301,161

Phillips, 17,691 Adelaide, 668 Swan Eiver, 9,543 Van Diemens
Land, 89,059 New Zealand and 55,604 Cape.j Of these, about
7,000 bales Australia and 7,500 bales Cape wool have been forwarded direct to the Continent and Yorkshire.
The weather has been unsettled during the week and the work

exports from the United States, millers operate very cautiously,

countries, while preserving a courteous tone in
from
gates
speaking of the United States, do not respect her course in acting
without consultation or regard for other nations, in her important
silver legislation of the past year.
The delegates were quite
unwilling to admit that any international standard can, under
existing circumstances, be adopted; aud the American delegation,
representing a country which has made silver a full legal tender,
Lave been obliged to play before the world the humiliating part

stock collaterals. Time loans, for 30 to 60 days, on governments are
also frequently made at 1 per cent where parties have the privilege of using the bonds, as there is more or less short interest in
f:overnments by the foreign bankers, and these bonds are, thereore, in demand for present delivery.
On strictly prime commercial paper of short date the rate is about 4 per cent, but some
very choice paper could be sold still at 3J per cent.
The Bank of England statement on Thursday showed an increase
in bullion for the week of £260,000, and a reserve of 40| per
cent of liabilities, against 381 per cent last week. The Bank of
France showed an increase of 7,400,000 francs in specie.
The last statement of the New York City Clearing House banks.

" Very shortly after the completion of this great work the concern fell into difSculties. The various companies which it was
proposed to accommodate by the bridge undertook to supply a
certain amount ot traffic. They failed, however, to carry out
their contracts, and the Transit Company, which, as it the case
of so many American railways, grew up to the injury of the
original undertaking, secured for itself even the small share of
profit wh-ch should have belonged to the proprietors of the
bridge. This Transit Company had power to fix the rates and
charges for the work done, while the original undertaking was
altogether powerless in the management of its own affdirs. On
May 1, 1875, the third mortgage bonds went in delault in July
of the same year the second received no interest. With respect
to the first mortgatje holders, the sum required to provide for the
coupons as they fell due has only been provided by funds borroweil from Messrs. Morgan & Co. For this purpose the firm
referred to have advanced $485,840, in addition to the various
other moneys required for the Bridge and Tunnel Company, now
standing at a total of $657,879. Th^ properly has been in the

In the celebrated case of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Company against the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, which was
Teiy similar to this, the decision of the Supreme Court of Maryland appears to have been exactly opposite to that of Judges
Hallett and Dillon. Whether the Atchison Company will build
in the !ace of a possible reversal by the Supreme Court and consequent loss of their work remains to be seen.
The decree confines the Canon City & San Juan Company (the
A. T. & S. F. organization) to their actual filed centre line which
Is alleged to ha/e been a mere preliminary location made a year
ago, when nothing was in controversy. The evident theory of
the Court was that the paper title of the Canon City & San Juan

the prior grant ol 200. feet width of the Rio Grande Company,
onder the act of 1872, to the extent of the line actually shown on

has exercised a considerable effect in diminishing receipts. The
Administrator referred to the laws governing' the collection of
taxes, and seemed to think that as long as taxpayers who were
disposed to pay their taxes, but who desired to postpone the day
of settlement, could go inta court and obtain without difficulty an
injunction against the city, there would always be a deficiency
in the matter of receipts.
New York
City Del»t.— A special meeting of the commissioners of the sinaing fund was held recently, for the purpose of
taking action on thf funding bill which was passed by the last
Legislature. All the members of the board were in attendance,
and Controller Kelly called attention to the bill in question,
which author:z-«s the commissioners of the sinking fund to call
in, pay and redeem any portion of the bonded debt of this
city,
except revenue bonds. He presented a report stating that the
present time was advantageous for funding su'-h bonds at a lower
rate of interest than is now lieing paid, and thus reducing
the
city's expenses.
Assessment bonds are payable to the amount of
|300.0_00 in October next, and $7,33.5,500' in November; in all
$7,635,500. The titles and amounts of theie bonds are as follows;

The

It should be noted, however, thai although the grain movement has been earlier and
heavier this year tlian last, its action has been later and less iu
advancing canal rates, and lat<)r but about equal in degree iu advancing lake rates, while they seem not to have aifrcted ocean
rates at all.
A year ago the transportation chari^es by Ibke, canal
and sea on a bushel of corn from Chieajo to Liverpool amounted
to about 15 cents on the first ot July, and adviinced to 32 cents by
the end of August. This year the cost was about -il cents on the
flret of July, and is now about 23^ cents (exclusive of transfer
-charges).
But last year the ocean rate was down to 8^ cents on
the first of July and up to 23 cents by the end of August. The
difference in the effect of the heavy August grain movement is
remarkable.
Below we give the rate for the first of July and
the last week in August, both years, for corn, in cents per bushel

package bouses were enabled to effect a fair distribution of

undoubtedly checked business to some extent, and traoeactions
with some parts of the South and Southwest have fallen short of
expectations formed before the outbreak of the pestilence; but
accounts from all other pa; ts of the country are very encouraging,
and the jobbing trade has already opened brisk'y at such

Domestic Cotton Goods.— The exports of domestic cottons
from this port to markets abroad, daring the week ending August
37, were 2,48v packages, which were shipped as follows: Great
Britain, 1.520 packages
Danish West Indies, 287 United States
Mexico, 136
of Colombia, 165
Central America, 73
Brazil,
;
;
;
;
;
and the remainder, in relatively small
lots, to other countries. Prices of cotton goods remained firm, and
a slight advance was made in quotations of a few makes of brown
sheetings and low-grade cotton flannels. Brown and bleached
cottons were in fair request, and there was a steady demand for

British Australia, 40
;
moderate parcels of denims, ducks, cheviots, ticks, corset jeans
and grain bags at the hands of both agents and jobbers. Print
cloths were fairly active at a fractional decline in price sales of
64iiM3 having been made at 3|c., cash, and 56xG0s at SJc., cash.

Prints continued in fair request and there
was a steady movement
ginghams and cotton dress goods.
Domestic Woolen Goods. There was a sluggish demand
for men's-wear woolens, and sales were almost wholly confined
to small lots of fine fancy cassimeres, cheviot suitings and

Some
worsted coating?.
duplicate orders for low-grade fancy
cusimeres were placed by the clothing trade, but transactions
in these goods were not as large as expected, and contributed but
little toward the reduction of stocks, which are still heavy.
Cloakings were in fair demand, and tome sales of all-wool and
cottoE-warp beavers were made to cloak manufactu'ers. Black
cloths and doeskins we e lightly dealt in, and Kentucky jean",
satinets and repellents were only in limited request.
Flannels
were in moderate demand, and colored blankets received some
attention; but white bed blankets were almost neglected.
Worsted dress goods were a trifle less active, and skirts remained
quiet but woolen and beaver shawls met with moderate sales.
Foreign Dry Goods. There has been an irregular demand
for imported goods at first hands, but the jobbing trade was more
generally active. Cashmeres and fancy British and Continental
dress goods were distributed to a fair amount, and considerable
sales of black and colored dress silks were made by importers
and jobbers. Black silk velvets were fairly active, and millinery
goods were in better request. Linen and white goods moved
slowly, but there was a steady Inqury for Hamburg embroideries
and imitation laces. Woolen goods for men's-wear ruled quiet,
but cloakings were taken in small lots to a moderate amount.
The auction rooms presented no offerings of special importance,
but fair prices were obtained for most of the goods sold through
