The returns of exchanges for the five days, as received by
telegraph ihis evening, exhibit a decline from the aggregate
for the corresponding period of last week, but compared with
the Hvrt days in 1888 there is a gain of 20'4 per cent. Our
estimate for the full week ending February 16 indicates an
inctease over a year ago of about 25 per cent. Messrs. R,
Dun & Co. report the number of failures for the week ended
to-night at 289 (243 in the United States and 48 in Canada),

In the light of the

we wrote an article (Chkonicle, Aug. 29, 1885, page
231) entitled " The latest manifestation of the paralleling mania," there can be no room at all for question.
It was at that time that the Burlington announced its
determination (theretofore merely a rumor) to aid in
the construction of the Northern road to St. Paul. Say

The improvement in trade is going on steadily. There is,
however, no speculation accompanying it, and neither prices
nor wages have risen as was expected. Towards the end of
1837 there was a marked rise in freights, and in the me?als
generally. But since then, with the exception of freights,
prices have rather fallen than advanced, and with the exception of the coal disputJ a few months ago, there has been no
great movement for a rise in wages. There .ere symptoms,
however, that we are on the eve of a sharp advance in both
prices and wages. Orders for coinage at the Mint are exceptionally large, which seems to indicate that preparations are
being made for a speculative movement in trade, which will
bring with it a rise in price', and that must b3 followed by a
rise in wagep.

Last week some small

largely in copper shares. And in consequence of the inability of their customers to fulfil their obligations, they were

your readers may probably be aware, are bonds issued by the
Hypothecary Bank of the province of Buenos Ayres and by
the National Mortgage Bank. The business of these banks is
to lend to owners of houses and lands, and the way in which
they do so is to issue their own bonds to the borrowers. The
immediate security for the bonds is ths mortgages taken by
the two banks, and over and above this, there is a guarantee
from the provincial and from the national governments. But

For a population of about four millions, this is

from 1 to 2 per cent. Together the annual charge is, in round

than 15,000,000 of these bonds. This amount will be sufficient to retire the floating debt which was incurred by the

Mr. Mayer remarks " The steam coal trade of the Atlantic
seaboard has been generally in a healthr condition for the
year 1888, The exceptions, it is hoped, will be remedied for
the coming season. The extensions and improvements in the
mining department heretofore referred to have been successfully continued, and are accomplishing fully the economies
and enlarged facilities anticipated therefrom. Wherever
steam power can be substituted for horse or man power it is
being gradually done with excellent results. The revision of
the system of ventilation in the mines has been completed in
the past year by the erection of a rotary fan at Ocean Mine.
The company's mines are now furnished throughout with the
most approved system of ventilation. * * The mines of the company are now capable of a daily output of 4,50U tons; this has
the past year, under pressure, been carried up to 4,800 tons
per day. * * The railroads of the company have been improved
during the past year by a large amount of effective work,
including two hundred tons of heavy steel rail, the erection
of a commodious station bouse at Barton, a smaller structure
at Batrelville and a new water station and pipe line at Mount
Savage."

Charleston
Cincinnati St Chicago.— Kieman's news
agency reports that a contract has bsen let and signed for the
^d
construction of 250 miles of the Charleston Cincinnati
Chicago Railway, running from Charleston, S. C, via Ratnerfordton, N. C, to the Ohio River at Ashland, Ky. The company has already under operation 400 miles of road, 200 miles
of which are of its own construction. The portion to be built
under the contract referred to is from Rutherford ton, N. C,
to the new town of Minneapolis, in southwestern Virginia, at
the crossing of the Clinch River, where the line will make a
junction with the Norfolk & Western Railroad, and probably
with a proposed eastern extension of the Louisville
Nashville, which is to come through Big Stone Gap.
The projectors of the scheme claim that this line will make a direct route
of 800 miles from Charleston, S. C, to Chicago, or 100 miles
shorter than any other line from Lake Michigan to the Atlantic coast; that it opens up the richest mineral, timber and coal
country on the continent, not excepting Pennsylvania. The
coal includes anthracite, bituminous and coking. A. B. Harris, of Boston; Frank Coxe, of Philadelphia; Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia; R. A. Johnson, of Boston; General
Thos, L. Rosser, and other well-known men are interested in
the road. The contractors are McDonald & Shea, the wellknown railroad builders, of Knoxville, Tenn., and they are
required to complete the contract awarded to them within ten

The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
showed on Saturday last some degree of firmness, but opened
quite depressed on Monday under an increase in the crop
movement, not only over last year but over the preceding week;
the bulls, -while expecting the former, were not prepared ,'ar tlie
latter, and values continued, from this cause and its depressing effect upon Liverpool, to slowly give way on Tuesday
and Wednesday. A report from the Agricultural Bureau
(printed in another column) appeared on Monday, althoush
vat it ualy interpreted as pointing to a crop aa low as 6,700,000
bales and as high as 7,400,000 bales; its immediate effect was
to cause a partial recovery of the early dfcline on that day.
Yesterday some points of Ellison's circular were reported;
these, together with smaller receipts at the ports and firmness
at Liverpool, caueed a quick advance to about the prices of
Monday. The buying on Wednesday and Thureday was
largely for June, and on Thursday was largely for Jure and
August. To-day an unsettled opening was followed by a
sharp advance, when receipts at the ports were estimated at no
more than 20,000 bales; but there was some decline when the
receipts at interior towns began to come In at pretty full
figures, and the close, though steady in tone, was at about
the lowest figures of the day. Cotton on the spot declined
l-16c. on Monday and again on Wednesday.
Yesterday there
was a fair demand for home consumption at revised quotations; low grades advanced ^@?8C., the high grades J^tg'iC
dearer, the medium grades partially l-16c. dearer; low grades
of stained i^Qo-lGc. dearer. To-day the market was steady

Indian corn futures opened the week depressed and unsettled, and a feature in the regular trade was the almost total
suspension of the export demand. The market became quite
unsettled, with the different deliveries varying; somewhat irregularly.
But yesterday the export demand was active,
and to-day futures developed renewed speculative interest,
but prices are still irregular. Prime qualities of Western
mixed and white have brought full prices when offered, and
the sales latterly include a considerable parcel of choice

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
New
Tohk. Friday
P. M.,
February 15, 1889.
The week under review has developed a much more active
business in all departments of the jobbing trade, and while
very low and unremunerative prices were occasionally named
by local jobbers in order to meet the "cut rates" of their
Western competitors, the general results of the week's traffic
were fairly satisfactory, and the outlook for a good healthy
ppring trade has materially improved within the past few days.
At first hands the demand for staple cotton goods and prints
was comparatively light, but a fairly good business was done
in printed and woven fancy cotton dress faoricn, anl there
was a liberal movement in white goods, quilts, cotton underwear, etc., on account of former transactions. The market
for domestic woolens adapted to men's wear has shown more
animation, and vtry fair orders for heavy descriptions were
placed by manufaciuring clothiers. Foreign goods were distributed in liberal quantities by importers, and the jobbing
trade in some descriptions was decidedly more active than of
late.
DoMBSTic Cotton Goods.— The exports of cotton goods from
week ending Feb. 12 were 2,440 packages,
this port for the
valued at |157,.576.
These shipments include 918 to China,
870 to South America, 151 to Central America, 149 to the West
Indies, 83 to Mexico, 65 to Smyrna, 49 to Antwerp, 28 to Great
Britain, 28 to British North America, 36 to British Guiana, 23
to Trieste, 15 to Germany, 15 to Africa, and 33 to all other
countries. Since January 1 the exports aggregate 17,633p>ckages, valued at $1,016,687. Of this total South America has
nad 5,652 packages, covering a value of $369,091, and to China
the shipments have been 4,972 packages, valued at $314,007.
For the similar period of 1888 the exports to all ports reacied
33,637 packages, valued at |1,.S14,193, China taking 10,536
packages of the value of $491,495, while South America ha 1
3,457 packages, valued at *336,096, The shipments for the
corresponding time in 1877 ware 23 845 package's and in 1886
reached 26,936 packages. The jobbing trade in staple co^.ton
goods was irregular, but a large business was done in some
descriptions of bleached cottons, ticks, &o., by means of low
" cut prices," wbile a very fair distribution of other fabric^
was made in the regular way. The demand for plain and
colored cottons by wholesale buyers was only moderate, but
stocks are so well in hand aa a rule that prices are steadily
maintained by the mill agents. Print cloths have relapsed
into a quiet condition after a period of exceptional activity,
and prices have slightly declined at the manufacturing centres, extra 64x64 spots and near futures closing at 4c.,
and 56x60 spots at 3 9-16c.. while contracts for later delivery
were made at still lower figures. Stocks last Saturday, and
for the three previous years, were as follows :

Fancy prints continued dull in first hands, but there was a
good steady business in printed sateens, chall es, lawns,
foulards, &c. and fine ginghams, seersuckers, &c. were freely
distributed, while there was an active movement in white
goods and quilts on account of back orders.
Domestic Woolen Goods.— There wan a fairly active underline in the market for men'd-wear woolens, the presence in
the market of a large foroe of out-of-town clothiers having
contributed to this result. The demand for heavy clothing
woolens was somewhat irregular, but prices ruled firm on
nfarly all descriptions. Fancy worsted suitings and trouserings, also piece-dyed and undressed worsteds were in good request, but there was an irregular demand for wool, uniju ind
cotton- warp cassimerts.
Overcoatings were less activv".han
of late, but agents continued to make liberal deliveries on
account of back orders. Satinets and doeskin jeans were iu
light demand and fairly active in movement, and there was a
,
,
moderate hand-to-month business in flannels and blankets,
while soft-wool and worsted dress fabrics were distributed
with considerable freedom by agents and jobbers.
Foreign Dry Goods.— Che market for foreign goods
has displayed more activity and a very fair busintss in staple
goods, and fancy fabVics adapted to the spring trade was done
by importers and leading jobbers. Prices for moat kinds of
impartial goods are firmly maintained here and at the sources
of supply abroad, and some descriptions of silks, linen goo 1b,
ribbons, hosiery, etc., are held at a slight advance upon last
yeai'g quotations.

he Directors are prepared to purchase, for cash
assete of Insolvent estates, and to make advances
on approved securities.
Bankers, Lawyers, Executors and Trustees will
find the Company an advantageous medium for the
prompt disposal of assets of every description.
The Directors are also ready to undertake the
dividends tn London, and combines the English
voting power. The original American shares will
be delivered with transfers duly endorsed.
The Association also issues its Bearer Certificates, free of cost, countersigned by the London
& Westminster Bauli, l^iiiiited, against any shares
registered in the Association's name and lodged
with the Banfe. These certiHcates are exchangeable for the negotiable shares and are a great safeguard against fraud, as they are only issued
against veritied shares, and against theft, as they
are only good to the real owner, when he has attached his signature to the Certificate, as no other
person can obtain the surrender of the original
of estates or properties for minors,
non-residents or others, and to close and wind up
