inland paper falls due), there will be many suspensions. The
stoppage of Mrssrs. Pawson, of St. Paul's Churchyard, with liabilities amounting to between £700,000 and £800,000, has naturally excited much comment. The firm conducted an extensive
business, and being the support of several linen drapers, &c., in

State and Railroad Bonds. Southern state bonds have no t
shown a large business, if we except some considerable transactions in Tennessees. The period of the year when the various
Legislatures are in session is not favorable for dealings in Southern State bonds, as the uncertainties in regard to possible legislation are so great as to discourage purchasers.
Railroad bonds have been in much favor. The prospect of a
further negotiation of U. S. bonds, and the calling in of
$300,000,000 more of five-twenties fuinishes a stimulus to the
market, and suggests to the holders of government securities the
necessity of looking for other substantial investments. Pacific
Railroad bonds have been particularly active on account of the
proceedings at Washington, Central Pacifics have advanced over
3 per cent, and Union Pacific bonds are also higher to-day than
last Friday, though the incomes have been much depressed in the
meantime. These latter bonds apijear to be the only ones which
can, in any event, be materially affected by the proposed legisla-

general tendency of gold has been
towards lower prices, the closing rate to day being 113J. The
largo shipment of last week, amounting to over $2,000,000, appears to have had more influence before than after it was made
or, in the language of Wall sticef, the effect was discounted.
It
is possible that the Syndicate operations have checked a further
rise in gold, or that lower exchange has had peme influence on it
The rates paid for carrying to-day were3|, 5, G, and 3 per cent,
and Hat for borrowing. Time loans were| quoted on Wednesday as
follow.^
30 to CO days, flat 90 days, ^@i for u e 4 to 6 months,

At the Treasury sale of $1,000,000 on Thursday the tottil bids

Senate, pas.sed both Houses January 3 J, requesting the Governor
to notify the creditors of the State of the action of the General
Assembly in regard to tlie propo.sed conference between said
creditors and a special committee of the General Assembly in
regard to the public debt, to be held in Richmond on the 15th of
February, and to invite tue attendance of the creditors.
Col. Joseph Mayo, Jr., State Treasurer of Virginia, in response
to a resolution of the House of Delegates of that State, has made
a report on the value of the securities held by the State, from
which is taken the following summary:

is
probable, however, that any loss which

detailed statement of the obligations of the State, sums up as
follows
" Thus the total of the actual indebtedness of Texas amounts to
the small sum of $1,663,998 78, an amount which could be paid
off by a tax for a single year ot less than a half of one per cent on
the taxable value of property within the State. On the otlier

The new consolidated trunk line, under thn name of the New
York, Boston and Montreal Railway, is 3.50 miles in length, extending from this city to Rutland, Vt. It was pecvssnry for the
company to build only 10"J miles of new road— .53 miles from
New York to Catmel, 33} miles from Carmel to Hopewell, and 30
miles from Pino Plains to Chatham. 'I'lie roads entering into this
consolidation are the New York and Boston, the Putnam and
Dutchess, the Putohess and Colnmbia, the Pine Plain* and
Albany, and the Harlem Extension. The combinatiMi was mm)o
under the laws of New York, and the line to Rutland is now
controlled by a corporate organization. At Rutland connection ia

and at the lattei point with the Ogdensburg and I.,ake Champlaln

Nisiit. Jan. 31, 1873.
Trude in a wholesale way haa fallen off materially daring the
pa&t week, and the markets for many leadinj; staplea ol domestic
productiou.as well as of foreign importation, Uuvu become 'dull,"
with some depression if not decline in prices. The most important exceptions to this statement have been in cotton und s|iirita
turpentine two important Southern staples. Mora snow has
fallen, and in despair of seeing' the accumulations removed from
the streets, people have resorted to a more general use of sloiglis,
so that the facilities for transportation are no worse, though still
very expensive, being two or three lold the regular charges.
Accounts from the interior, and especially the Northwest, slate
that the railroads are much obstructed with snow, and travel and
transportation in ordinary vehicles greatly impeded by the
intense cold as well as by the impassable condition of the roads.
No doubt these facts in a measure account for the prevailing
dulness in what is termed the "jobbing trade."

Provisions have been only moderately active, and in some particulars
short clear bacon being the most notable prices have
not been fully sustained. There has been a pretty general decline in hog products at the Western markets, which is partly
the result of the delay and expense of getting merchandize to
the seaboard. But there has been also a considerable increase in
production, of which the following are the latebl statistics:

For Memphis cotton we applied to Messrs. Gates, Wood & Co.'
of that city, and they state the average thus far to be 403 pounds.
We have no doubt tliat they have obtained this result after considerable investigation, as they are always very careful in their
statements. Applying then the foregoing averages to the total
receipts at the port* up to Jan. 17, and we have the following:

According to this statement the average weight of the bales
marketed up to January 17, is 401 lbs. Of course this does not
necessarily determine what the weight of the crop is to be for
two reasons
1. The bales early marketed frequently differ in
weight from the later marketings, 3. Some of the ports have
:
probably received a much larger proDortion than otht-r ports, of
what will be their total receipts. For instance. Mobile will only
receive during the remaining mouths about one-sixth of the
amount of the arrivals at New Orleans during the same time
as this will change the proportion between heavy and light bales,
;
course it would citange the result.
Last year we gave tiie average weight of bales (obtained in
the same manner) at New Orleans 458 lb.. Mobile 500 lbs., Texas
494 lbs.. Savannah 478 lbs., and the total average was probably
about 408 lbs.
thus see that there is undoubtedly, up to the
present time, a small falling off, say on an average 7 lbs. per bale,
or a little over fifty thousand bales in a crop of 8A million bales.
A reason for this decrease iu. weight may be found iu the fact

she was on her way down from New Orleans. The aid of a steamer's
engine had to be employed to put out the fire, and several bales of cotton
were thrown overt>oard. The vessel was detained when the letter left,
there being a heavy claim against her, and the captain being sick.

The market has baen generally quiet the past week, and prices
have shown very little fluctuation.
Flour has arrived more freely and the ofierings of some grades
have somewhat increased. The demand at the same time has

difficulty and expense of the movement of freight In the city.
Shippers have not been inclined to operate except at inside prices,
and some business has been done at easier rates, including lines of
good extra State and Western at $7 60, in store. The delivery
of flour previously sold on contract, and long delayed, has also
tended to reduce the demand. Today there was rather more
inquiry and prices firm, partly from sympathy with wheat.
The wheat market has been almost at a stand-still, but prices,
though unsettled, have latterly had an upward tendency. The
principal demand has been from local and Southern millers.

TEA.
The line
movement
trade lo teas has quieted down somewhat during the week, and tb*
for a few days toward tlie close has besn on s not viry liberal seal*.
Jobbers continue to buy to a moderate extent, their pnrchasa* belnf stlmalatcd more by Ihe buoyancy of oar market than by the actoal reqnlromcot* of
their trade. Holders of teas In this market are very flno, and on sooM (radcs
the tendency of the market la rather In favor of sellers. New crop Oolongs
are held with etpecial firmness at a shade *<ett«r prices Ibruugb the qnolsble
range shows no alteration. Greens are selling lo the better grade*, ai.d bring
full rates.
Japans are rather quiet at the moment, but rule firm at full pre.
vlous rJites. The general poiitlon of the market as regards stocks and sAoata
is fairly favorable, and holders show a determination to mainlaln the current
rates which pa^ a moderate profit on the cast. We note sales of 'J,00b half
chests greens, 4.500 do. Oolongs, 1,000 do Japans, and several lots al suction.

The business
market since our last report has been In marked
contrast to that of several preceding weeka, and has been somstblog of a surprise to holders of the berry. The liberal movement of all gnules from tUs
market and the other porta Into the Inierior. which tass been going on for
some time past, was sufli'-ient to supply retailers freely, and with their sales
restricted for the past few weeks by unusual weather, the requirement* of
distributors have not been very pressing for some days. This fact, coopled
with the high range of vnlnes, explains the dulncss which hss prevailed both
on the Brazil and India grades. The market has ruled very steady, ss there la
comparatively little coffee of any description hero to sell, and the pr^fssare
would not induce holders to accept any lower rates than are now asked snd
(luotod, even if a positive offer on a good-sized lot were made. The Rio tele"
gram which was received on Wednesday quoted no further advance, ba
reported very light loadings, shipments and iiurchascs for the I'nlted States,
and would have been regarded as very favorable had there been any basinees
doing. As it was, however, its effect was lost. The tales for Ihe week so far
as reiiorted have been, op a basis of last quotations, which we repeat Tbs
transactions iBclnde 3,588 bags Rio, ex "lona." 3,000 bags, the balance ez

beea a fair demand for full packages of dry goods
during the week, but heavy shipments have been prevented by
the almost impassible condition of the streets. Orders from
buyers in the more remote localities who have not yet visited the
market in person are coming in to a fair extent, but these are
