point in this plan is that even after these bounties are paid the

System. The order from the President
to Secretary Boutwell and Collector Arthur, directing them to
prepare some substitute for the General Order System, was
received with very general approval among merchants and
importers, and no little interest is felt as to the probable changes
which will be made. The ocean steamship companies have manifested especial interest in the contemplated reforms, and a
memorial signed by the agents and representatives of all the
companies has been forwarded to Washington, asking " that the
Secretary of the Treasury will not approve any reorganization
of the system other than one which makes the business completely free to all bonded warehouses of the third class." This
request seems to be entirely just and reasonable. As long as
the General Order business is allowed to remain a monopoly in
the hands of private individuals, whoever they may be, it will
always remain a source of "jobbing" and oppression. If the
owners of vessels, on the other hand, are allowed to designate
into what warehouses their unclaimed goods shall go, they will
be able to make reasonable bargains with responsible warehousemen. The merchants would thus be protected against overcharging for handling and'storage, for the reason that ship
owners would find it to their advantage, as carriers, to look after

Net receipts

This Statement shows a falling off in the toll receipts of the last
fiscal year as compared with those of 1870, of $264,588 96; but
included in the receipts for tolls in 1870 (which has reference to
the fiscal year from October 1, 1869, to September SO, 1870), and
the collection of tolls at the higher rates then in force, from and
including September to the close of navigation in 1869, it being
about three sevenths of a year's collections, which accounts for
the excess of tolls for 1870 over those received in 1871. There is
quite a gain in the net receipts owing to the large decrease in the
cost of maintaing and repairing the canals, viz.

Estimating the surplus earnings of the canals by the results of
the season of navigation just closed, they will suffice to discharge
the entire debt charged upon them by April 1, 1886. 'With a wise
management of the canal revenues, it is believed that there need
be no falling oti in the annual contribution to this object and if
the Legislature and the administrative and financial canal officers
cooperate to accomplish the payment of the debt, there can be but
little doubt it will be extinguished by the day named.
.•—The attention of our readers is called to the card of the City
of London, which appears in our advertising columns on
the second Saturday of each month. The annual meeting of
shareholders of this bank was held in London, January l?th
ultimo, and the following is an extract from the report then
" Herewith are submitted, for the half-year ending
submitted
31st December last, statements of Liabilities and Assets' and
Profit and Loss,' showing that, after providing for Interest on
current and deposit accounts and for bad and doubtful debts,
the gross profits, including £1,894 5s. 7d. brought forward from
preceding half-year, amount to £52,496 5s. 7d. Provision therefrom having been made for current expenses and rebate on discounted bills not yet due, the directors declare a dividend at the
rate of 9 per cent", per annum, free of income tax, add £5,000 to
the reserve fund, which now is £110,000, and carry forward
£1,837 7s. 5d. to the new account." American accounts are invited and travelers' credits issued.

There has been of late a continued demand for the six per
cent bonds of the older and well-established railroad lines, to
take the place of the government sixes which are being called in.
The Central Pacific bonds, now command a premium, and the
Chesapeake and Ohio sixes, negotiated by Messrs. Fisk and
I^atch, who originally placed the Central Pacific's, are prominent,
on account of the magnitude of the enterprise and the responsible
character of the parties engaged in it.

—

In our last issue the price of Logansport, Crawfordsville and
Southwestern railroad bonds was erroneously given in the advertisement as 92i, instead of 95, to which the price- had previously been advanced, as noticed in our editorial items. The
price on page 183 was correctly quoted at 95.

—

AttentMWl is directed to the card of " A Director," in our advertising columns, in regard to the recent action of the Board of
Directors of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad Company iu
issuing new stock. An act was passed in the Legislatuie of
Missouri, in 1869. authorizing the directors of the road to make
such an issue, to provide for indebtedness to the State, and put
the road in good working order, &c.

This interest account is made light for, and easily borne by, the
Company through the operation of the Sinking Fund created
from sales of the Company's land, Vfhich in many cases draw interest at the rate of ten (10) per cent, per annum. The security
behind them is ample in every particular, as they constitute a first

connect the city of St. Joseph, Mo., (au important railway centre),
with the Union Pacific Railroad at Fort Kearney, materially
shortening the distance between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Investment In Kallroad Bonds— Bonds not ;Sold at the
Stock Exclia«ge._lD our bond quotations on a previous page,
under the heading'
" Bonds not quoted at the Jf. T. Board," and by the uninitiated it
might be supposed that there was some inferiority in the character or standing of these bonds to prevent their being placed on
the Stock Exchange list. Such, however, is not generally the
case, and some of these bonds are, in point of fact, better invest"
ment than others which are called at the Board.
It frequently happens that after a loan has been negotiated,
it is some time before tlie bonds are placed on the stock board list,
either because no effort is made to have it placed there, or because
the Committee on Securities is cauiious, conservative, or critical,
and declines to place the new bond on the list unless it is
supported by some important influence, or until the road upon
which it is secured has been in operation for several years, and
The number of

quotations ot these are the more important from the fact that
there are no definite and offic al prices made, and the public are

fore enlarge our list of these miscellaneous securities, from week
to week, and give prices made by several leading brokers who
make a specialty ot dealing in such bonds, though it must be
remembered that these prices are in some cases necessarily
nominal, as there is no public call to regulate them, and in the
absence of recent transactions there is no fixed standard.
Of the leading bonds upon which the semi-annual interest is
will be found an extended list of securities

payable in March next in this city, we give a list below, as these
having nearly six months interest accrued are in reality worth
about 3 to 3^ per cent more than a bond sold "flat."

Chicago and Northwestern Railway

—The

completion of

the Chicago and Northwestern Extension to Menominee was
celebrated at Green Bay, Wis., on the 17th ult. The extension, as
it is called, stretches from Green Bay up the shore a distance of
fifty miles to Menominee, and opens up the great lumber regions
about Poshtigo, Penzaukce, Big and Little Suamico, and Menominee.

—

The Hoosac Tunnel The Ma8S.\chusetts Legislature is
again occupied wRh the Hoosac Tunnel on a petition from the
contractors tor a reduction of the securities held liy the State, in
order to give them greater means lor pushing the work. Work
was commenced by the contractors, December 2, 1808 the whole
sum to ue paid for the coinideted contracts was $4,600 000, and.
according to the terms which the Commonwealth had insisted
upon, the first $500,000 of earnings and 20 per cent thereafter was
to be held as security for the comuletion of the work, and to insure
solvent contractors at the outset. This fund has reached nearly
$1,000,000, which they ask to have reduced to $350,000. The
work is sure to go through and for every month that is saved
bv any assistance the State can afford, she will be a gainer by
$20,000, as $340,000 a year has been offered for the road. The
contractors say that they are crippled for means, on account of
unforeseen obstacles like the storm of October, 1869, which
stopped them for several months at the east end and for some
time at the west. The insufficiency of the water-power at the
east end has forced them to an expense of over $30,000 for the
putting up and workiug of steam machinery a water seam has
been struck at the central shaft, and the rock has grown harder
after penetrating only a little way.
Such a combination of circumstances has embarrassed them, and at the central shaft they
are now 2,180 feet behind, but 880 feet ahead at the east heading
and 60 feet at the west, reducing the total back'^ardness to 1,240
feet, which is much less than a month ago.
Their average progress 7>er month is 385 feet, but last month they overran that
figure by about 50 feet. Of the work upon which they began,
8,528 feet have been penetrated, leaving 7,165 yet to bore.
The
committee concluded that they could judge the matter better
after visiting the tunnel, and an order was introduced to that
effect in the Senate.

Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. I.onla Railroad. The
annual meeting of the stockholders was held at Steubenville,
Ohio, February 5. The report of the directors made a favorable
showing, indicating that the leased lines will all be self-supporting during 1872, and that the prospects of the stockholders are
becoming brighter.
A committee of three stockholders was
appointed to examine and report upon the pccounts and finances
of the company. An issue of three and a half millions of preferred
stock was authorized to pay off the floating debt. The lease of
the Chartiers road, and of the .leffersonville, Madison and Ind.
road, were ratified and approved by large majorities. The following
were elected directors: Thomas A. Scott, George B. Roberts,
Josiah Bacon, Samuel T. Canby, Henry H. Houston, Wm. Thaw,
Thomas L. Jewetr, Joseph Means, Thomas Mears, George W.

Columbia, S. C, February 11
have been introduced in the Legislature
declaring valid all State bonds of South Carolina included in the
treasurer's report of October 31st, 1871, and pledging anew the
faith and credit of the State tor their redemption, providing for
an immediate registry of all such bonds in New York or Columbia,
and prohibiting any further issue of bonds for any purpose whatever unle.ss sanctioned by a direct two-tliirds vote of the people of
the State also, to adjust and liquidate all loans heretofore effected
for t'je Slate by the financial agent in New York.
It is expected
that the passage of these measures will comnlete the work of the
session.
A most stringent enactment has passed the Senate, and
is pending in the House, enforcing the collection within ninety
days of overdue taxes amounting to $1,100,000, and a new tax of
$4,( 00,000 is to be levied, ostensibly to pay the interest on the

to continue it on the list the company must comply with article
3 of the by-laws, which prescribes that every active speculative
stock must be registered, and that no increase of their capital
shall be made except on thirty days notice. Third The company at once signifitd its willingness to comply with this request
of the Exchange, but while completing the necessary arrangements, and before actual registry, they increased tlie capital
511,000 shares, and wiihout'giving thirty days notice to the Board
claiming that such notice was not required until they had regisEourtli
tered.

so modify their views as to sell on a level with and probably, in a few cases,
even below the wholesale market. At the outporta the movement was also
stow, and prices generally quoted as merely nominal. Other descriptions,
both of East and West India growth, have ruled extremely dull, and have de-

veloped few features of general interest, though it is known that odd lots
from second hands were sold at somewliat lower figures, quite a number of
jobbers holding stocks on which there is margin enough to admit of moderate
concessions without actual loss. The general market closes withont much

FniDAT EvENiNa, Feb. 16, 1872.
The principal new feature of the week has been the movement
on the part ol Congress looking to the doing away entirely with
the import duty on tea and co8'ee. Our merchants generally seem

among

those best calculated to stand
a tax without materially affecting coosumers, and the effort to
reduce the revenue by abolishing the duty meets with little approbation. It is li'ped. liowever, that if the bill is to become a
law, it will be put through quickly, as pending the settlement of
the question buBine.ss is and mu.st continue very slow. On sweets
the tone has been rather dull and a lilllc tame, except (or domestic
molasses, the small stock of which gives owners mucli advantage.
Jobbers still appcarsomewhat dissatisfied with the call for distribution, but are, as a rule, hopeful, and think that interior dealers
and consumers cannot liold back much longer.
The eniries direct for consumption, and the withdrawals from
bond, showing topetlier the total thrown on the market for the
week, were as follows

On

what nominal and probably with the eiceptlon of greena the tone Is a little
weak. The line trade has been very dull and the call for invoices correspond
Ingly light, giving bnslncss a slow and rather discouraging aspect. Ths
proposition In the Ilonsc of Representatives to do away entirely with the
duty is the main cause of the Inactivity. While the removal of the duty
would unquestionably add to the value of goods in bond, the uncertainty of
any such law being enacted would induce buyers of small parcels duty paid
to exhibit much caution nntll (hey could form a positive opinion, and bring
the line trade down to a matter of the most imperative wants. No one, there.

There was some little business doing during the early portion of the week,
but the demand soon fell off, and the market subsequently became quite dull,
and not without some lameness, though the slack tone appeared to develop
itself more upon the stock in second hands than upon that held by importers
in bond. Foreign advices of latest date are not only encouraging, but in
some casos more so than at any time for months, and as they are not compelled to carry a very large stock holders are still disposed to insist upon ei"
treme rates and refrain from offering samples. The continued delay in the
opening of the distributive call, however, and fair amount of goods on hand
to meet the wants of buyers who do appear prevents jobbers from purchasing
with freedom. The caution and indifference of all classes of buyers has also
of late been greatly increased by the movement in the Ilouse of Representatives to entirely abolish the import duty, and, though serious doubts are expressed as to the bill developing into a law, it is very naturally supposed that
business will dsog along and all purchases be made from hand to mouth until
the matter is Anally settled. On Braziis holders have received additional advices from Rio Janeiro, calculated to strengthen their position, but the favorable accounts failed entirely to stimulate an increased demand either from the
trade or speculators, and if anything the tone was a little weak. No open
concessions on invoices were named, but it was very evident that sales could

molasses has met with a very good inquiry, and the tone of the market was
strong and buoyant, higher prices being established, especially on the upper
grades. The stock is considerably reduced, is well under control, and with
prospective small additions owners are quite indifferent operators. Syrups
are not plenty, but producers manage to keep a stock about equal to the outlet, and values rule as before.

chiefly to the fact

made their purchases earlier of about all the goods
required for present distribution or to meet their wants for some
time to come. The attendance of buyers from the interior ha,
increased somewhat during the week, and the demand comes
that jobbers

more from the smaller towns of the interior than for some weeks
previous. The retail movement here and in the other large
confined almost exclusively to winter fabrics, and
is not very heavy in the aggregate.
Retailers are getting pretty
well cleared of f stock, and are arranging for opening thelr'spring
assortments. Collections come forward with a fair degree of
freedom, and are generally pratty well up.

Goods.

—The

demand

bleachei cottons is fairly active, and prices are buoyant with a
strong upward turn. There has been an advance on several

makes of standard and fine brown sheetings, aud also on wide
sheetings, both brown and bleached. Colored cottons are strong
and looking toward a general advance. A rise has occurred this
week in several makes of ticks and denims in first hands, and in
some instances this has been followed by a corresponding rise in
the jobbing quotations, though as a rule jobbers are still selling
at the old figures. Prints are in good request, and leading makes
in light colors, suited to the current] distribution find

ready sale
The offerings of this class of work are limited, however, and
transactions are restricted in consequence. The samples shown
are generally very tasteful, and the assortment of styles was
never more complete than at present. Printing cloths are firm
and fairly active at 7i@8c for full 64'8 of standard and extra
grades.

—

Domestic Woolbn Goods. There is but little trade in any
class of woolens at the moment, excepting in a jobbing way, and
the piece goods demand lacks animation. There is a good speculative demand for most descriptions of heavy fabrics for the fall
and considerable transactions are reported. A large sale,
amounting to nearly $75,000 worth of shawls, was made during
the week to a leading jobbing firm at a slight advance on last
season's prices. These sales are indicative of a strong feeling Of
confidence on the part of the trade generally, who seem to expect a certain rise on thj opening of the fall demand.
The
offerings of fancy cassimeres are very well assorted and Include
a greater variety of styles in fine grades than are usually offered
at this season. Cloths are quiet but firm, with prices unchanged.
There is a tendency toward higher quotations on all grades of
woolens, and an early quotable advance is looked for.
Foreign Goods. The market for imported fabrics has been
fairly active throughout the past week, without the demand becoming very general. Large jbuyers from the loading interior
cities are purchasing with a fair degree of freedom.
Thin fabrics,
such as grenadines and suitings, are selling freely, and bid fair to
become more popularthan for several seasons past. Many entirely
new and novel effects in grenadines have been introduced this season, and most of them are tasteful and elegant. Millinery goods are
trade,

—

moderately active at full prices. I/inens are quiet but firm at about
former figures. Woolens are dull but steady.
We annex a few particulars of leading articles of domestic
manufacture, our prices quoted being those of leading Jobbers
