for years maintained that the time will come and may be
nearer than .some
people suppose, when our five per cent
bonds will sell above par in gold. This result, however, will
be reached, not by any direct legislation of Congress, but by
forces operating on the value of our bonds and elevating that
value to a higher standard. How far these forces would be
likely to be stimulated or repressed by the new Funding
Bill may be inferred from the following abstract ot its sev¬

It adds to the complicated and

Since, therefore, this bill multiplies the number.of
descriptions of bonds, it violates the prime canon of funding
that all changes should be with a view to simplify the debt
and to make it more completely a unit.
The bill appropriates
12 millions of dollars for the work of funding.
Before this
vast expenditure is authorized, we should agree upon some
method of funding the debt which will be permanent, and no
scheme can be permanent which does not consolidate the debt

is the evidence of that intent, where the^kind of payment
required by the terms of the bond or note is simply dollars.
These two decisions were enough for all business purposes and
prevented any violent change in the currency. The whole
country is engaged in business on the greenback basis.
Innumerable contracts are made every day to be discharged

favorable to spring wheat, and at the time of harvesting and

injury, even if the crop ripeued a full one. It is improbable,

The Gold

premium has been remarkably steady, the price having
ranged chiefly between 120-J. and 121£, although momeu arily the
extremes of 119f and 123J were touched.
The large supply on the
market (the amount of private gold deposited ii the Treasury being
about $50,000,000) has held in check speculative attempts to force
up the premium; whi’e the price being so exceptionally low, there
has beeu no disposition to speculate fora decline. The distribution
of the January interest upon Government and gold bonds, toge¬
ther with sales; of $-1,000,000 coin by the Treasury, have more than
equalled the withdrawals from the market for customs payments
Upon the whole, the course of the premium has perhaps been a
disappointment of the expectations of a majority of dealers and
operators ; and at the close of the month, there was a disposition

activity, tlm natural result of an ea?ier condition of the money
market.
We still observe, however, an absence of active partici¬
pation by outside operators. Merchants who formerly were wont
to take an occasional ‘‘flyer n in stocks are now rarely seen in the
market, the losses of firms upon - such operations within late years
having served as a wholesome warning. The ordinary habitues of
Wall street have lost so heavily for some time past that their oper¬
ations are limited by lack of means. The transactions, therefore,
though large, have been very much coulin d to the cliques and to a to leave the market to take its course until the diminution of the
few wealthy speculators. Prices have not been so buoyant as was present extraordinary supply renders it more sensitive to specula¬
anticipated, the reduced earnings of the roads and the uncertainty tive manipulation. There has been uo export of specie of any
as to whether Congress may authorize
any further inflation of the moment, the rate of exchange having ruled
per cent below
the figures at which treasure could be shipped to advantage.

; and Petroleum to Bre¬

In Provisions we have had an excited
market for Pork and
Lard, with wide fluctuations in prices; but in other
particu¬
lars the
changes have not been important. On Wednesday,
Mess Pork sold down to 825 50 on the
spot, and 825 75,
seller March. But
yesterday the market opened excited at
nearly one dollar advance, both for spot and future delivery,
with very
large sales, closing to-day at 827 for Mv-s^ on the
spot, and 827 50 for April delivery ; prime Mens nominal at
at 823
50@24. Lard touched 15^c for prime Steam on
Wednesday, but sympathized with the rise in Pork on Thurs¬
day, and sold at I5fc on the spot, and 10c for March and
April, but closed dull at 15^@15fc on the spot. Butter
continues dull, but Cheese is rather more active for
export.
Metals have shown more
activity. No. 2 American Pig
Iron has been
freely bid for at 832, and we notice sales of
4,000 slabs Straits Tin at some improvement.

free, especially of the better grades suita¬
ble for spinners use.
This tendency to continued firmness among
holders was increased by tbe more favorable Liverpool advices the
middle of the week.
The only change in prices was on Monday,
when all grades fell off -£c, until to-day, when under the prospect
that the weeks receipts to lie made up to-night would show a lib¬
eral total, ordinary and good ordinary fell off ^c, and the close was
heavy although the sales are larger than any day this week. For
forward delivery there has been mucb less doing than for the previ¬
ous week, and prices have continued to give way. To-day, however,
there was more activity at a slight improvement in rates.
The
total sales of this description are 12,350 bales (all low middling,
or on the basis of low middling except as in hereinafter stated),
of which 1,100 bales were for February, 750 at 24$, 150 at 24.1,
100 at 24, and 100 on private terms]; 3,900 bales for March, 1,900
at 24|, 80r0 at 24|, 000 on private terms, 100 at 24.13-10, and 100

300 at 24.15-10, 500 at 24f, 000 at 24.13-10, and 1,000 on private

50 at 25, 200 at 25|, 100 at 25f, and 200 on private terms; 100 bales
for July, at 25f ; also 050 bales free on board at New Orleans, on
private terms; 500 bales free on board at Galveston, on private
terms, and 200 bales free on board at Mobile, at 24. The total sales
for immediate^delivery this week foot up 11,155 bales (including
430 bales to arrive), of which 4,558 bales were taken by spinners,
2,039 bales on speculation, 4,007 bales for export, 550 bales in
transit, and tbe following are tbe closing quotations :

1,933,834 bales, against 1,520,003 bales for the
same period in 1808-9, being an increase this season over last season
of 407,231 bales.

1869-70.—We published a few
weeks since from a Savannah correspondent an item indicating a
decrease in the size of the bales of cotton shipped this year at that
port. The importance of this ^subject led us to desire additional
information upon it, andj through the kindness of Mr. B. F.
Nourse, of tbe Statistical Committee of the Cotton Manufacturers’
Association, we are able to furnish our^readers with the following
important facts. It willj be remembered that in the last annual
report of the Association was given the average .weight of bales
of the several localities for last season, derivecNrom the invoiced
weights obtained from manufacturers and merchants. The preWeights

remarkably dry weather, in which the early portion was gathered.
As a consequence of that fact, the plantation
weights of bales
hold out at the mills, in many places even
showing a gain;
probably owing to some absorption of moisture into such perfectly
dry Cotton, while in transit. The reverse of this was the fact
last season, there being an unconmfortable loss
by evaporation,
owing to the undue moisture with which the cotton was charged
when picked and packed, the prevailing weather of that season
being wet. The gain to consumers, from this saving, is much
larger than the apparent diminution in weight. Besides, it is
very likely that the later portion of this crop, maturing and
picked since the autumn rains, will weigh more per bale than the
early portion if packed in the same boxes and of the same size,
and hence the average of the whole crop may be found to be
larger than that of 18G8-9. The falling off it will be noticed is
largest at Savannah and New Orleans ; at Savannah and Charles¬
ton, evidently from the fcause above stated ; at New Orleans more
from the increased proportion received from the lower
parishes
and districts, which have always packed lighter bales than those
more remote, and which for the two
previous crops were discouragingly small in number.

day, except Galveston, and the figures for that port are the exports for
two weeks back.
With regard to New York, we include the manifestonly up to Tuesday night, to make the figures correspond with the offi¬

The above statement for 18G8-9 requires an addition to embrace
the whole commercial crop of last
year.
Still these figures for
our purposes are
sufficiently accurate showing in the present aver¬
age 461.4GG against 466.425 lbs. per bale last yc^ar, a diminution
of a little more than one per cent.
If therefore this year’s crop
should happen to be just 2,900,000 bales,
weighing as above, it will
exceed that of 18G9 by about 25 per cent, in
pounds, and 2G per
cent, in bales.
Of necessity the weights this season have been taken from the
first half of the crop ; last year they were an
average of the
whole.
This season’s early crop matured after
many weeks of

Applying then the several averages, as found, to quantities
which for this purpose are assumed as those receivable at
the

subject to abatement

February 11, 1870.

The tone of the market continues to be strong and healthy,
with an increasing volume of business transacted. The late
advance in Cottons has been well

sustained, and has rather
had the effect of stimulating than of checking the operations
of buyers. Further advances on some goods are talked of,

hardly think that such action would be well
a-ivised at the present moment. The season is beginning to
open, more buyers are now appearing in our jobbing bouses, and
no
steps should be taken which would have the effect of
discouraging these buyers from taking goods freely. It is by
no means certain
that any material advance beyond present
rates could be maintained throughout the season, and if the
market should give way again, just at the time when the
demand for goods was the best, the effect would surely be
damaging to trade.
If goods can be made and sold with a fair profit, at the
current prices of raw cotton and of manufacturers’ products,
it would seem to be the best policy to encourage business to the
utmost at steady prices, at least, until a firmer tone in the
Cotton market, or an extraordinary demand from the country
should warrant higher rates.
