step in the direction of a sound, redeemable currency, imparting
stability to our financial system, and confidence to the people,

should enter upon an export trade in our fabrics such as we have
not dreamed of in the past. The time is ripe for it, outward
circumstances are all propitious, and it only remains for Congress
to give to the country a steady currency, and the abounding energy
and enterprise of our people will do the rest. There is not a
cotton plantation

a manufactory in New England, not a ship-yard on the Atlantic
coast, not a lumber camp from the Penobscot to the Columbia,
not a mile of railway between the two oceans, that would not
feel the quickening, gainful influence of a final and general
acquiescence in measures looking to specie payment. If the people of the United States were fully awake and aroused to their
interests, and could see things as they are, instead of increasing
the power o( Congress over the currency, they would by the

A few some-
what ominous
failures, to which I shall presently allude, have
taken place, and they have naturally had the effect of checking
any tendency to improvement in business. It is not, it may be
added, at all clear that any such tendency was apparent, but, in
any case, the effect of further embarrassments cannot be good.
These are general complaints about the condition ot both the
wholesale and retail trades. A very general opinion prevails that
there lias been but little gayety this season, the absence of whicli
must interfere sadly with certain branches of trade. But when
we consider that Peru and Spain have paid no dividends, and
that Turkey is only about to distribute a moiety of what she
owes in the way ot interest, it cannot be at all a matter of
if a very conviderable section of the community
is
compelled to enforce rigid economies.
The losses sustained
cannot be surmounted in a brief period. They have only been
just felt, for the dividends were only due at the commencement
of this month and, should Peru become a permanent defaulter,
many must suffer very seriously. Although, however, failures
are taking place, it is not believed there is anything disastrous
to apprehend.
Trade, though quiet, is being conducted, even if
with small profit, at least with but few losses, as a very cautious
policy is still pursued but as long aa the majority of the people
are exercising strict eonomies, and as long as failures of some
importance continue to be made public, a decided revival of

There was a little surprise at the bank statement last week,
which showed a decline in the surplus reserve, chiefly in consequence of a considerable increase in deposits; but this was not

3@4 per cent on government collaterals, and 4@.5 per cent on miscellaneous stocks. Prime commercial paper is in sharp demand,

money to enlarge or push their business, and those having money

Railroad and miseellaneoas Stocks. The Htock market
lina
been somewhat irre(?ular, and priceB variable.
Pacific
Mail, after tlie decline of last week, has remained comparatively Bteady, and
to day reached 3(!i.
Nothing now ha.s
been developed in regard to it. Lake Shore fell off on We<lnesday, in amseqncnce of the report from Chicago that there
had been a new disagreement among the trunk lines as
to
East-bound freights, and that their recent pooling nrriingonionts would be broken uu.
Michigan Central was also
influenced by the same report.
Uannlbal Si St. Joseph fell off to
on unfavorable rumors as to the company's
I8J-, yesterday,
linancial condition, with a recovery to 30 at the close to-day.
Inited States Express has been the most notable stock on the
hull side, and sold to-day up to 71}.
This Is said to be on the
expectation of the resumption of dividends.
The strongest of the
leading speculative stocks have been Northwest and St. Paul—
ilie.se on the prospect, which is reported to
be good, that the
Potter law in Wisconsin will soon be repealed.
Ohio & Misnif.sippi lias been steady, and its earnings for January show
a
conHiderable increase over the same mouth of 1875, the friends
of the road also claiming that, with the present freight rates, the
company can show much larger net earnings throughout the
year.
St. Louis & Iron Mountain stock has advanced to 25 on its
large earnings.
New Jersey Central declined sharply in conae(liK'iice of the unfavorable aspect of th*e anthracite coal trade,
and some large failures among dealers. At the close, prices were
generally strong.
'I'otal transactions of the week in leading stocks were
as fol-
lows:

REPORTS.
Lehigh Talley Railroad.
(For the year ending Nov. 30, 1875.)
The report says: The almost universal suspension of labor in
the coal regions tributary to our road, which began about Jan. 1,
and continued for mor» than six months, had the effect of
reducing to a considerable extent the business for the past year.
Of our total anthracite coal tonnage, 1,939,296 tons were carried
during the last four months, showing a capacity for a yearly tonnage of nearly six million tons with our present equipment. Our
toral anthracite coal tonnape for the past fiscal year was 3,277,527 tons; that for 1874 was 4,150, ^.60 tons being a decrease of
873,088 tons.
While the gross income (from all sources, including investments) has fallen off $18,899 42 from that for 1874, the operating
expenses have been reduced $208,556 44.
After charging all our expenses, interest on bonds, and dividends, the business of the year sliows a loss of $93,053 56, which
has been taken from our reserve fund.

compared with those of 1874, show an
increase of $104,475 83, or about
3i per cent, and the operating
expenses, taxes included, show an increase over those of 1874 by
receipts,
$28,861 50, or about 1-6 per cent. The passenger receipts were
than those of 1874 by $24,037 88. and tlie increased "receipts
from other sources were $128,513 71. The report says
Tlie
freight derived fpm the peninsula of Delaware and Maryland,
in
the form of fruit and other perishable commodities, was very
much larger than that of any preceding year. The quantity of
peaches alone moved by this company amounted to 9,077 car
loads, or 4,538,611 baskets, or about 72,000 tons, while of
other
perishable freight we moved 12,282 tons, of which 7,314 Ions were
berries alone.
The strawberry crop, which prior to 1871 never
exceeded five car loads per day, in 1875, at limes, amounted to
over 720 tons per day, requiring more than ninety cars to move it.
The earnings of the road from business other than local were
much reduced by the sharp competition carried on between the
trunk lines during much of the year, and the importance of fostering the local traffic of our own road and its immediate feeders,
to which your board has fcir many years been keenly alive, was
never before more plainly manifested.
The work of rebuilding the Sasquehamia Bridge in Iron has
been prosecuted as rapidly as was deemeJ necessary by our consulting and resident engineers.

In view of similar work to be done in 1876 of a character not
properly chargeable to the current operating expenses of the
road, there has been re»erved frjm the net earnings of 1875 the
sum of $175,000, which has been added to the reiievral fund,
which now amounts to $177,716 22.

JacIiSOnvillePensacoIa & Mobile.— A Tallahassee telegram to
the Florida Union announces that the Supreme Court of Florida
has decided the four million State bonds, issued by the State in
aid of the Jacksonville Pen3acola& Mobile Railroad, to be invalid.
The following are given as the leading points of the decision
"The State, under the act of the Legislature, occupied two relaThai as primary

debtor, the State is not bound, but that as trustee site has tUe right
to seize and sell the road and apply the proceeds to the payment of
the State bondholders, they having advanced their money to the
railroad company, and the State holding the mortgage bonds of
the company for their benefit. The Court decided, further, that
the State could not become the purchaser at the sale, as that por
tion of the law which authorized this had been repealed by i
recent amendment to the constitution. The Court also held that
the franchise of a corporation could not be sold under execution.
The State, as trustee, can enforce its lien on the road and satisfy
the claim of the foreign bondholders, so far as the proceeds of the
sale go. The State is not liable further, nor can the people be
taxed for the bonds. The status of the case in the United States
Supreme Court is not changed. Holland bought nothing when
he bought the equity of redemption. Judgment ot the court below

Railroads of Massachusetts. The seventh annual report of
the Board of Railroad Commissioners has ju»t been presented to
the Massachusetts Legislature. The report is, as usual, a document of great ability and of general interest to all persons
studying the subject of railroads.
Among other matters of
importance discussed is that of the failure of the Eastern Riilroad, and the history of its decline will be read very carefully,
both here and abroad. The opening paragraph states that the
general and continued business depression incident to the financial
September, 1873, has made itself felt much more perceptibly on the Massachusetts railroad system during the last, or
second, year following the crisis, than it did during the first. The
following abstract is from the Boston Post :

COST OP ROADS.
The average cost of the roads of the standard gauge is returned
at $57,307 64 per mile, exclusive of equipment, which has
amounted to an additional sum per mile of $7,774 47. The narrow
gauge roads are returned at $10,640 07 per mile, and $3,593 33
for equipment.
The average cost of an equipped road, irrespective of gauge, is returned at $64,057 06 per mile, but varies from
$98,600 19 (or the Boston and Albany, to $9,316 30 for the
Martha's Vineyard.
STOCK AND DEUT.
The 63 corporations included in the returns are represented by
$171,616,338 82 of securities, of which $118,361,285 90 are in the
shape of stock and $53,355,052 92 in different forms of indebtedness.
The amount of stock has been increased $1,194,487 83 during the year, and the indebtedness $4,797,714 37. Most of the
increased indebtedness has been incurred by tlie corporations
operating roads which terminate in Boston the Boston & Albany
having increased its debt over $400,000, the Boston & Lowell
$230,000, the Boston & Maine $274,000, the Eastern over $3,000,000. the Fitchburg $153,000, and the Old Colony $800,000. On

the very low rate at which merchandise waa cirried for long distances, contracts being frequently male which did not bring to
the companies more than 3 mills per ton per mile, particularly on
Western-bound freights. On its through tonnage, accordingly,
the average charge of the Eastern road during the year was 1'93
cents per mile that of the Cheshire was 1'81 while that of the
Albany was as low as 1-17. Indeed, so low were the ratea, and so

Pott says :" In reply to a
correspondent who asks for explanation of the rise in the stock
from 44, which was the price early in November last, we can only
say that there have been quietly-made purchases on the expectation that the company would resume dividends February 1. This
has not been done, but the time of resumption has been put
forward to May 1st; at least, the same people who expected
dividends February 1st are now confident that they will be begun
May lat. The depression in the stock was caused by the suspension of dividends about a year ago, the management, as we are
told, having concluded thatdividendsshouid not be paid until the
company had fully settled all its differenc'-b with the Erie Railway
Co., these differences having arisen under the old (lould-Fisk
management of the Erie. We are told that these are in process
of adjustment, and that the United States is to have a contract
with the Erie for its line, which will be advantageous to if. and
will enable it to earn as large dlvldeodsas it formerly paid."

Imporis of cotton both into Uoiiand and Belirium consist largely of transit
lots en route for Germany aud Switzerland; the apparent deliveries, therefore, are considerably in excess of the actual consumption, and the increase
this year arises from the fact of more cotton having found its way Into the

The Exports of Cotton

direction, for each of the last four weeks; also the total exports

both in the details and the total. In Sweden, sUhough the number of spindles
has increased during the past yenr, yet, owing to the heavy stocks l-.c:d by
spinners at the commencement of the year, and along contiuueddroughtwhicli
stopped many of the mills worked by water power, the import decreased from
about 190,000 cwts. of raw cotton in 1974 to about 117,00) cwls. in 1875. Trade
generally has been fairly remunerative for spinners, but the prospects lately
are not quite so promising, on account of the general stagnation of business.
In RiTs.^iA, the spinning business has been better than the weaving; the
former has done fairly well, but not the latter. The olllcial retunis of the

FRIDAY,
P. M.,
February
11, 1876.
There has been a hardening market for flour throughout the
past week, but it has been more in sympathy with the upward
tendency of wheat than from any activity in the demand. Shippers took a few thousand barrels early in the week, mainly at
$4 40 for superfine, $5 10(35 25 for common extras, and $5 75(g
$6 for good do., but latterly there has been little inquiry from
any quarter; lience no important advance in prices can be quoted.
Production is still limited at all points, and in the past few weeks
a material reduction of stocks on hand has been effected. A
notable feature of the week's business has been free buying of
extras from Winter Wheat, which were at the opening of the
season classed as unsound and sent to store, in preference to
selling at the low prices then bid.
They have now been taken at
$5(a6 per bbl. Today there was a better export demand, with
common
sales of 4,000 bbla.

hands has been lessened by Inrite public silea of allka, dreaa
goods, linens, &c. Large quantities of woolen gonde, tailors'
trimmings and clothing were destroyed by a fire in Broadway,
and the loss of woolens and clothing will probably exceed one
million dollars. The flannel commission house of Dale, Brothers
& Co., Boston, with a branch in this city, has suspended payment*
and gone into liquidation. One of the most interesting features
of the week was a peremptory auction sale of 2,000 pieoea
worsted suitings, being the production to date of Thomaa Dolan
&t'o Philadelphia. The sale was made by Towuaend, Monlant
& Co., and brought together an unusually large ctjmpany of
buyers, but the prices realized were very lew and unremuneratlve

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.

Merrimack, Cocheco, Hamilton, Anchor and Knickerbocker shirtings were reduced to 6Jc. Garner's fancy prima were opened at
Ginghams were in fair desand.as
6ic., and shirtings at G^c.
were fancy cotton dress goods, and cotton hosiery was distributed
in liberal amounts.
Domestic Woolen Goods. The market (or men's wear
woolens was comparatively quiet, despite the large number of
buyers present from all the leading interior cities. Cassiijieres
moved blowly and in small lots, aud the sale of worsted coatings
was interrupted by an auction sale referred to above, which had
the effect of depressing values. Cloths aud doeskius remained
sluggish, but satinets were a trifle more active. Kentucky jeans
were in moderate request, but, as a rule, selections were made in
small parcels of the most popular makes. Low grade fancy overcoatings were ordered by the clothing trade to a fair aggregate
amount for future delivery. Worsted dress goois showed some
improvement, and fancy worsted shawls were placed in fair
parcels with country jobbers.
Foreign Dry Goods. The demand for imported fabrics from
first hands has continued strictly moderate, and activity has been
lacking in all departments of the trade. The auction rooms have
Leeu remarkably well patronized by city aud out-of-town buyers,
and several important lines of goods have been distributed
through their medium, although, in many cases, at very low
prices. Messrs. C. A. AufFmordt & Co. sold a line of about 1,500
pieces black, colored and fancy silks through Townsend, Montant
& Co., at fair prices, and large offerings were made of housekeeping linens and Hamburg embroideries with indifierent results.
Woolen goods for men's wear have been very much depressed,
and even thus early in the season some lines of worsted coatings,
&c., hive appeared at auction.
