MERCANTILE FAILURES AND NATIONAL PROGRESS.
It has often been remarked that
we
have in this
country
larger proportion of failures in mercantile business than
occur in any other great commercial nation, and if this was
so before the war it might reasonably be
supposed that with
the legacy the war bequeathed to us of an irredeemable
currency, a defective financial system, and a heavy fiscal
burden, we have not reduced but rather multiplied the perils
which threaten with shipwreck the more venturesome of those
who navigate the troubled ocean of American industry .1

It is to be
regretted that this table gives us no hint as to
how much of these vast sums was lost in foreign commerce
and how much in our domestic industry, but in this point
of view it is certainly gratifying to see the limited extent
of the failures in this city.
The heavy fall in gold and the
derangements caused by the war in 'Europe must have put
a
heavy pressure at times on the resources of a large part
of our mercantile firms, whose business is connected more
or less directly with the foreign trade of this greatest sea¬
port of the United States. We have here a new illustration
of the strength and stability of our industrial system.
The
weaker members of that system must have been severely
shaken out, as is indicated by the number of industrial
failures, which is larger than those of 1868 or 1869, although
their magnitude is less than that of last year, and only
two-thirds as much as the aggregate of 1868.

THE GERMAN EMPIRE.

hereditary Emperor of Germany ; and his subjects are dis¬
cussing the question where and when he shall be crowned*
To us at a distance, who care to see chiefly the substantial
and permanent elements in European history, and not the
imposing trappings and varying forms of them, the interesting
inquiry just now is a very different one: it is, what is the
new Germany
of which this new Emperor is the head1

French statesmen already insist that the leadership of their
nation in Europe was imperiled by the growth of Prussia ?
For many reasons, chiefly these: that the growth of
popula¬
tion in Prussia was four times as rapid as in France, having

doubled, while that of France has increased less than onethird; that the military organization of the Prussians was
complete, enabling them to bring into active service a larger

possibly be equalled in France without unsettling all

principal centres of trade and finance, and of the
navigation of the Elbe and Weser, with a position on the
North Sea; and stood, at the end of 1866, the foremost mili¬
tary State in Europe, with France as its only rival. Its terri¬
tory was nearly as large as New York and the Middle States
together; its population was 23,590,543, or almost the same

of the
that of all the States which adhered to the Union when
our
Rebellion broke out in 1861.
Nor
was
this alone what
alarmed the
French; but the neighborihg divisions of Ger¬
many were brought almost as completely under Prussian con¬
trol as those actually annexed, while the perfection of the
military machinery of Prussia in calling her trained citizens
in a fortnight from their homes to the battlefield was found
so wonderful in the Bahemian campaign as
to leave no doubt
that, even alone, she would be a formidable antagonist to any
nation.
III. The annexations of 1866
followed at
by a
reorganization of North Germany, under the name of a Bund
or alliance, with Prussia at the head, which gave her, for all
military purposes, almost the same control of the other States
as of her own provinces.
Of these States, Saxony is the most
important, including an area of 5,776 square miles, and a
population in 1867 of 2,423,586. All the twenty smaller
States of the Bund together cover but 18,560 square miles
Of
land, and have a population of but 3,313,116; so that Prus¬
sia alone contains more than four-fifths of the entire people of
North Germany, and her influence with the whole is prepon_
derant and irresistible. In declaring war against Prussia last
July, France was well aware that the whole North German
Bund, at least, would be united against her, and that she was
attacking not Prussia, with her twenty three and a half mil¬
lions, but North Germany, with her population, in 1867, of
29,906,217, and amounting in 1870, at the average rate of
increase for many years past, to 31,200,000 souls; and,
by
their superior military system, fairly equal in the field, under
ordinary conditions, to the French nation of 58,000,000.
IV. But the war threatened to wrest German
territory
from Germans, and at once the whole
people of Germany
were united
by it. A secret treaty of alliance, offensive and
defensive, was three years ago concluded between Prussia
were
once
and the South German
States, and 1870 found them ready to
carry it out. In doing so they became irrevocably bound
together with North Germany, and they have now joined to¬
gether in re-establishing the empire. The extent of these
States is
as

territory almost equal to the State of New York, and a
population twice as large.
Thus the German
empire, as now reinstituted, possesses a
country about equal in extent to New England and the Mid¬
dle States to the
Potomac, including Ohio, and a population
which amounted in 1867 to
38,767,142, and is now about
40,300,000, or at least 1,500,000 more .than, the present
population of France, which,, according to the best lestimates,

population will enable
us to
understand
and position of the new empire in the
only when regarded in connection with
power. Thus, in numbers, as well as in
of territory, there is still little to choose
between Germany and France.
Alsace and Lorraine, it is
true, are now claimed as German conquests. They contain
together 12,520 square miles of territory, and had, in 1866,
2,720,450 inhabitants ; so that, if they be transferred to the
new
empire, Germany will contain 44,000,000, and France
not quite 36,000,000 of inhabitants
; a disproportion, howhowever, still far less, in this respect, than has often existed
between nations equally matched in the field. And when
the wealth, trade, and industrial resources of the two coun¬
tries are compared, it will be seen that the
disproportion in
population would be greatly qualified by these, and the two
countries might fairly stand as rivals in influence and
power,
were it not
for the one great peculiarity
of Germany, the
Prussian military system.
We have no means of forming even an
approximate esti¬
mate of the actual wealth and productiveness of the two na¬
tions, and have to rely upon general statements. But these
leave
no
doubt whatever that France is the richest
country
Europe, both in the aggregate and in
proportion to its numbers. The budgets of the governments
are not a final
proof of this, yet they are a strong confirma¬
tion of it; and when we find that the total revenues of

of all the German governments for the same years were,
upon
the average, but two-thirds as much, or
$217,000,000,
we
have.one test of the comparative financial resources of the
two.
In railroad mileage they are almost
exactly
equal,
having nine thousand miles in operation in
each company
1867; but the French railroads were more costly in con¬
struction, better equipped, and did a larger business; while
they were constructed wholly by French capital, which also
contributed largely to many of the German lines. The
aggre¬
gate receipts of the French railways in 1866 were $120,670,000; those of the German lines in 1864, $75,900,000.
In 1866 the telegraph lines of France exceeded in
length of
wire those of the StateB in the present German
Empire by
more than sixty per
cent, the official returns giving the two
nations, respectively, 61,700 and 37,000 English miles of
wires.
Id 1865 the post-offices of France distributed 275,285,920 newspapers ; those of all Germany, including Aus¬
tria, 212,458,399. The number of letters posted in France,
was, in 1865, 313,506,797; within the present Empire of
Germany, 301,005,712. The merchant tonnage of the two
nations upon the sea was, in 1866, almost the same, but the
steam tonnage of France was 108,328, and that of
Germany
but 53,881.
In 1865 the aggregate trade of France, includ¬
ing the whole of the exports and imports, was estimated at
$1,522,000,000; that of the entire German Zoll-Verein, in¬
cluding all of the States of the present empire, has never

necessarily falls, under any form of government,
to the eecond place; and Germany is the foremost of the
great Powers. It is for this reason, above all, that European
statesmen in general are inclined to believe that for a long
time to come the new nation just building will be as potential
in the affairs of Europe as France has ever been in the zenith
of her strength. But the continuance of her power, and
whether it will, on the whole, be a benefit to herself and to
the world, depends upon other considerations than its nature
and sources—upon the use she will make of it: and this can
not now be foreseen.
The spirit and purposes of the Hohenzollerns are not the most hopeful feature of the new Empire.
They are narrow; borrowed from the traditions of an abso¬
lutism characterized by a genius that is only military, and by
an ambition that is unscrupulous.
But Germany is a nation
that cannot be moulded, we may hope, by any such influ¬
ences; and the people may be willing to use the Pruasian
monarchy in order to work out their own unity, and yet unwill ling to be enslaved. There is reason to believe that the unity
of Germany is the accomplishment of great historical ten¬
dencies, and is henceforth an accomplished and permanent
fact; while the Empire and its military system are the crea¬

Company has executed a new consolidated mortgage of
$3U,000,000, the object of which is to provide a fund for taking up the several
existing mortgages as they mature, thus reducing the bonded debt of the road
to a uniform character.
The sum required for this purpose is $24,000,000,"
leaving a surplus of $6,000,000, which, it is suggested, may be applied to the
laying of a third rail between New York and Bnffiup, and the purcna6e of addi¬

would be sent away
in large quantities. It was soon ascertained,
security was wanting in France, it would be iin
possible for capital to be transferred to any extent; and that in
order to attract capital hence, France must make peace, and de¬
cide upon a form of Government which shall be suited to the
people and be looked upon as permanent by Europe at large. A11
this, we trust, will be accomplished in time, but until considerable
progress has been made, France cannot be a borrower on advant¬
ageous terms in this market. An anticipated rise in the price of
food in this country, caused by the waste and loss of production in
France, also contributed to the heaviness of the funds. That
France will require large supplies of food is evident; but so far
as cereal produce is concerned, the
war seems to be closing at an
opportune moment, for there will yet be time, if labor and the
necessary appliances can be obtained to sow largely the spring
crops.
With regard to animal food, however, the effects will be
serious and more permanent. In the invaded districts a large pro¬
portion of the breeding stock has been consumed.

London, Saturday, February 4.
agitation lias been witnessed this week owing to
the partial re-opening of Paris, the arrangement of an armistice
and tbe possibility of peace.
Great efforts have been made to
send provisions to the tarnished city, but as the routes open are
few, some delay has been occasioned. By this time, however, it
is probable that the worst has been overcome, and that food is
arriving sufficiently to meet the pressing wants of the popula¬
tion.
The French Government have given notice that the most
direct route to Paris from London is via Newliaven and
Dieppe,
and that supplies of flour and other edibles forwarded to that
port
will be immediately purchased by the authorities, and
paid for
either in French bank notes or in drafts payable in ten
days
Large quantities of provisions, especially of flour, have been sent
away on private account by the Lord Mayor’s Committee, and also
by Messrs. Rothschild, and, probably, if the truth were known,
the railway companies were fully employed..
As a matter of
course, the primary object is to relieve the starving city, and when
that has been accomplished, political affairs will
again assume a
supreme importance.
At the commencement of the week, the greatest
hope was

At the present time all is doubt and uncertainty, but in
year.
1870 commerce and general enterprise were rapidly
improving,
and money showed every indication of
advancing in value from
the legitimate demands of trade. It may be said that there is a
similar tendency now and the assertion is a true one. But the
causes affecting money at the present
time are different and far
less satisfactory. Last year it was in a large measure required to
develop what had been commenced and what was proving remu¬
nerative. This year it will become dearer by the borrowings of a
foreign nation repairing the losses of a disastrous war. It is
unquestioned that France will require large sums, both on gov¬
ernment and private account, but at the same time the resources of
France cannot have been exhausted in a war of seven months
duration. No doubt when confidence has returned there will be

announcement of the armistice between France and
Germany would have an immediate influence upon prices proved quite evanes¬
cent, and the market has been more than usually quiet and inanimate since
Tuesday. Both spinners and manufacturers advanced their prices on
Mqnday,
hut buyers did not respond, and the flatness of the
Liverpool cotton market
speedily induced producers to modify their demands. The advance in
prices
has consequently been abandoned in most
departments. Quotations show
some irregularity, and those
yarns and goods which are made from the
supe¬
rior qualities of cotton are steadier than those
composed of the inferior sorts.
Merchants appear resolutely to set their faces
against paying an advance ; hut
there is still a fair inquiry
going on, which indicates that there would be a
renewal of business were prices to
give way a little. Considerable uncertainty
still exists as to the immediate future of the continental
struggle. A resufnption of hostilities on a large scale is not
generally believed in, nevertheless the
alleged enormous demand*? of Germany have produced a very unpleasant feel¬
ing that peace may not be established without developing further
complica¬
tions. Yesterday some relief was felt on the

on account of each such stockholder in

Portland, and Kennebec.—The directors’
report presented at
the annual meeting of the Portland and Kennebec Railroad, on
the 13th instant, show's satisfactory results,
notwithstanding
severe losses by fire and flood the past year.
The freshet a year
ago on the Kennebec river was especially disastrous, carrying
away the Augusta bridge, which has been replaced with an ele¬
gant and durable iron one costing some $19,000. Extensive repairs
have been made along the whole line, and valuable additions have
been made to the roiling stock.
The total earnings of the road
were $64,506,405, and the total running expenses, $479,541 92.
The
city and town loans issued twenty years ago, in aid of the Ken¬
nebec and Portland Railroad Company, to the amount of $800,000,
matured on the first day of November last.
Six hundred and
fifteen thousand seven hundred dollars'of this loan have already
been paid and cancelled by this company, and the funds have
been provided to pay the balance on presentation.
This road,
which was leased last May to the Maine Central Railroad Com¬
pany has been operated since then by the latter company, for con¬
venience, to the old organization and separate accounts, however,
being kept up to the close of 1870. Since the 1st of January the
two companies have been operated practically as one, the Portland
and Kennebec, however, continuing its organization, for the pur¬
pose of preserving its corporate existence.
No change wTas made

account of
number of
a
small pamphlet giving a detailed
7, 8 and 10 per cent, bonds of various
railroads forming the connections of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Road, and to parties desiring information in regard to
these, a copy of the pamphlet will be found most valuable.
—The attention of capitalists is called to the first mortgage 7
per cent, bonds of the Peoria, Pekin and Jacksonville Railroad Co.,
secured by a mortgage for $1,000,000, upon the railroad, its fran¬
chises and all equipment, on the basis of about $12,000 per mile.
This road, of 83 miles, is completed and in successful operation
between the cities of Peoria and Jacksonville, Illinois.
The mort¬
gage is a first and only lien upon this property, w'hich has been

This temporary weakness in Gov¬

previous week, which
sudden to be steadily continued, and
the “ discounting ”
or anticipation of
events which must take some time to be fully
developed, as, for instance, the funding operations of Mr. Boutwell.
There have been no new influences to act upon the market, and
with the customary desire of some purchasers to realize the
advance, a tempora/y pause in the previous activity has been the
natural result, followed by a slight decline as above noticed.
Prices in London have been tolerably firm, but are still below our
own market.
At the Treasury purchase of $2,000,000 on Wednes¬
day the offerings were only $4,596,200, a comparatively small
amount on so large a purchase,
particularly as it had been
expected that Mr. Boutwell might direct the acceptance of a larger
amount of bonds than had been advertised for—an
expectation
which contributed to the support of prices, but was not fulfilled in
the result.
It has been noticed i hat the opposition of the Secre¬
tary of the Treasury has been shown very decidedly to the reduc¬
tion in taxation proposed by Congress, supposed to arise from his
desire to seethe credit of our Government improved abroad, so as to
enable him to negotiate a 5 per cent, loan at par,
in gold. While it is
possible to differ very widely with Mr. Boutwell in regard to the
policy of continuing heavy taxation, it is hardly possible to contro¬
vert his idea that the improvement of United States credit abroad
since our war has been largely due to the determination shown to
pay off the debt promptly, and to submit to heavy taxation for the
purpose of reducing it annually by a large amount.

16.—New York Central
Scrip Dividends.—The
question involving the payment of $1,151,000 by the New York Central Railroad Company as tax on
scrip dividends, came before the Commissioner of Internal Reve¬
nue, with the Solicitor of the Bureau present, this morning, ac¬
cording to prior arrangement. Mr. Elmore opened the argument
for the Company, whh-h he insisted was not liable for the tax,
because there are no scrip dividends hut, interest certificates, which
are not binding on the
Company, and which it is optional with the
Company to pay. Therefore it was not such an obligation as is
subject to taxation. And, further, that these certificates merely
represent the earnings of the Company which accrued prior to the
passage of the Internal Revenue law. He presented various papers
in support of these and other incidental
points. The case was
postponed until next Thursday, when Horace F. Clark will make
the closing argument.
Pacific Ralroad.—Mr. Thayer, of Nebraska, offered a resolu¬
tion instructing the Judiciary Committee to inquire and report as
to the right of the
Treasury Department to retain all compensation
for services rendered for the United States by the Union Pacific
Railroad and its branches, to apply on the interest of the bonds
issued by the United States to aid in the construction of said road

Bureau,” and Mr. McCullough General Manager.
Tennessee Debt.—The Nashville Union of February 12 has
the following in regard to the receipt of the overdue coupons on
the State Debt.
The holders of the bonds, upon which default of
interest was made two years ago and since continued,-are denied,
it seems, even the poor privilege of selling their overdue coupons
to pay taxes, which taxes should have been made sufficiently
ample to cover the whole expenses and interest'of the State :
On Friday last a report was quite extensively circulated in
the city that Attorney General Heiskell had given it as his opinion
that coupons on State bonds were receivable at the Treasurer’s
office in payment of taxes.
The report, as we understand, spread
rapidly, and quite a large number of persons sold their Tennessee
money at 74 cents, and bought coupons at 54 cents.
This had the
effect to some extent of depreciating Tennesseo money in the
market.
Dr. Morrow had been absent from the city, but returned
in time to correct the impression that prevailed.
We may state
that the whole excitement grew out of the fact that AttorneyGeneral Heiskell had stated that perhaps the time would come
when the law, which is somewhat ambiguous, would be thus con¬
strued.
But the Treasurer soon corrected the impression, and
stated that coupons were not received in payment of State taxes.”

EPITOME.
Friday Night,
There has been
during the past week
leading staples, which has led to some
out, in all cases, producing activity in
from
decline in prices, with¬
trade. Dull accounts
domestic products, while in foreign goods
many
conspire Reproduce dullness.
Cotton has further declined, and Middling Uplands close at
15-^, although receipts at the ports show a considerable falling
off. Flour has declined 10@25c per bbl., shipping extra
closing nearly nominal at $6 70@6 90, Of Grain, Wheat is
lower, New Spring closing at $1 50@1 54.
Corn also
lower, with fair Western mixed closing at 83c; but other
grains are firmer, Oats closing at 65}tg}66£c for Western and
Ohio in Store.
Groceries show little change.
Tobacco has rather favored buyers. The new crop, both
of Kentucky and Seed Leaf, is expected to come forward in
large quantities during the coming month. In Kentucky
Leaf, this week, there has been rather more doing, but at
decline. The sales of the week have been 600 hhds., of
which 200 hhds. for export and 400 for home use. The
some
export included new lugs at 6@7c, and for home
manufacturer’s of
plug Tobacco, new wrapping leaf at
9^@10^c. In Seed Leaf, we have no settled market to quote
pending tne arrival of the new crop, and but little has been
done.
The sales embrace 387 cases new Pennsylvania on
privateterms ; 57 cases new Connecticut 17-J-c ; and 150 cases
various lots, including seconds and common
wrappers at 25
@4Ce. Spanish Tobacco has moved fairly at full prices ; the
sales include 213 bales New Yara, one and two cut, at
95c;
and 250 bales Havana, at 87£c@$l.
Manufactured Tobacco
is in fair request, and at the reduced
prices rules firm.
Hides at some decline have been active,
large sales having
been made at 23c, gold, for Dry Montevideo, and at
24c, gold,
for Dry Buenos Ayres.
Skins and Leather have also
declined, and Tallow has been barely supported at 8f@9c.
Provisions, though not without activity, have been declin¬
ing for some days, and close dull, with a downward tendency.
The prodigious quantities which have been
shipped to
Europe do not fully represent the increased production, and
now, tne export demand having fallen off, or continued
only
at reduced limits,
the market is left without an adequate
trade to dispose of supplies.

foreign the market has remained very flat, buyers still refusing
negotiations of moment, indeed seldom condescending to make
a bid, and values continuing in a doubtful state, though most of the supply
could undoubtedly be bought very low. The new crop, however, has been
quite active, and most of the first arrivals closed out. This was not altogether
the result of an increased demand, as refiners have been willing from the out¬
set to take the parcels coming to hand on reasonable terms, but may be
attributed to the concessions granted by importers a very material modifica¬
tion of views in this quarter, from the prices originally asked, having taken
place. The position is not by any means a settled one as yet, as to values and
quotations are somewhat nominal, but as indication we may state that most of
the sales were of Cuba clayed at 33c., testing 44@46 degrees of polarization.
Domestic has been in fair supply but met with better and more general demand
prices becoming more steady on the low grades, and for prime to choice
qualities advancing decidedly, closing with a strong uniform tone and holders
inclined to withdraw their best parcels. Sales of 1.950 lihcls. Cuba; 325 hhds.

general market has been void of any unusual amount of activity, and
there is no doubt that this is largely due to the fact that the liberal distribu¬
tion of January has now reached consumers, and for the time being checks the
call upon jobbers, though the difficult and expensive transportation has a ten¬

the demand. Holders, however, remain confident
increase as the Spring advances, and the hopes of a
larger European outlet have not been abandoned. On Brazils the week opened
very quietly and void of interest, but with an increased and more desirable
offering in part by steamer, the trade were stimulated to operate with rather
greater freedom and a very fair demand prevailed, especially as a later telegram
at hand from Rio Janeiro was generally considered as of a favorable tenor.
Buyers were not over anxious, however, the very extreme views of holders in¬
ducing caution, and the actual amount of goods changing hands proved some¬
what moderate, purchases being based solely on positive necessity. The stock
available in first hands is still comparatively moderate, however, and importers
insist on full prices with much tenacity. At the outports the movement has
also been very fair, and the markets as a rule quite firm. Java has remained
dull in first hands and the sales by jobbers not very heavy, but all things con¬
sidered the movement was fair and former prices realized with prime brown
styles still the favorites. West India grades have developed no new features,
the business proving quite light and mostly in odd broken lots. Prices ruled
pretty steady, but the offerings of stock fair, and dealers, though refraining
from pressure or the exhibition of any desire to realize, seemed rather more
inclined to meet the outlet than heretofore. The sales during the week em¬
brace 17.100 bags Rio, 300 Costa Rico, 800 Maracaibo, and 1,200 St. Doming^

improved to any extent during the past week;
though prices were without decided
depression the tone was soft, and in
buyers’ favor. The wants of the trade required only a few odd l'ots from day
to day, and purchases were regulated accordingly; while refiners, with prices
on their product still shrinking and business quite dull, seemed rather inclined
to contract than to enlarge ‘ operations.
Some additions were made to the
stock, but nothing very large, and importers were rather inclined to assume an
air'of confidence, hut could hardly counteract the influence of the light pre¬
vailing demand, and the buyer gained most of the advantage, especially on
odd broken parcels offering from pier. Among the new crop there is the usual
parcels of wet heavy grades, hut as a rule the samples show a very fair average
of quality, and sales are made without much difficulty, both on the refining
and grocery styles.
The condition of the streets and the harbor has probably
interferedj\vith the movement of sugars more than any other goods, hut these
difficulties are being gradually overcome. Refined have sold to some extent,
though without any freedom, and the market has been in a pretty dull condi¬
tion. The production in the meantime continued, and the result was a slow
hut sure accumulation of stock, and finally an increased deBire to realize,
bringing prices down somewhat on all grades, though the depression was prob¬
ably most marked on soft qualities. The offerings of Clarified stigars still have
a
tendency to check the demand for Refined. The sales of Raw are 1,560 hhds.

Monday delayed trade somewhat, but
have been more buyers in the
market and the inquiry for
goods has been decidedly more ani¬
mated, while the movements have also shown a material improve¬
ment.
The WeBt and South are well represented by dealers here,
and those from the last named section are
buying freely. West¬
ern merchants
delay their purchases in consequence of the high
freights, but with the prospect of easier rates before many days,
they have been buying more heavily during the latter part of the
week, but are shipping ve>y small amounts.

Domestic Woolens.—The demand for fine,
fancy cassimeres is
moderate, but scarely equals the expectations of dealers. Dealers
from the West and Southwest, who
formerly made their
purchases
early in January, are enabled to get their goods home in from ten
days to two weeks now, and consequently delay their purchases
until as near the opening of
their own trade as possible. The
high freights have also kept back trade, and many dealers are said
to be only
waiting for lower rates, before making heavy purchases.
Cloths are in fair request for this season of the
year, and are selling
at better prices.
