The ignorant presumption of the critic, whom we have
quoted, upon our article of February 27, 1875, is
sufficiently rebuked by the facts which so wonderfully
correspond to our expectation. The supply of cotton
was not "cut short;" the stock of cotton held by
spinners was increased and not diminished; consumption
was not checked by high prices, which did not go to

Tal mage's Sons, under date of Feb. 15, 1876,
" With limited receipts and liberal
the rice market
demand, prices continue firm, and all the probabilities favor
higher rates at no distant date. Prices are now lower by nearly
one cent per pound than at any time since before the war. except
for a few days in 1873, during the panic, and then, although
general depression prevailed in other lines, prices almost immediately re-acted.
The consumption of the present crop (Carolina
and Louisiana) has been over fifty per cent in excess of that of
last year up to eqnal date, showing plainly that, although not the
rice season, the demand has enlarged greatly with the cheapening
of prices. Tliere is now on hand of the crop about the same as
at equal period last year.

The

finan-

markets this week have been characterized by extremely
easy money, much strengtli in government.? and other prime
Investment securities, irregularity in the movement of speculative
The greater constocks, and firmness in gold and exchange.
fidence in values of stocks and bonds seems to continue, and bo;h
the high-priced investment bonds and the lower grades of railroad
cial

mortgages, as well as many of the railroad stocks, share in the
advantage, and have been marked up to decidedly higher figures.
The more buoyant feeling has thus far been sustained by better
reports of railroad earnings the increase in receipts over the
corresponding periods of last year being pretty general on the
Western and Southwestern roads, and the percentage of increase
showing more than a mere nominal improvement.
We liave, by the latest English mails, the statement from
Messrs. Spackman & Sons' Circular, in Loudon, showing the
capital proposed to be raised by new companies brought out in
that city during 1875, new issues by previously existing com
panies, and foreign lor.ns introduced during the .same period.
They remark upon the small amount of the total as compared
with previous years.

All classes of bonds have shared in the general firmness, from
the high-priced first mortgage bonds of leading roads down to the

to some of the latter, it is to be observed that the condition of

The exchange market has been

Steady prlct^s, ruling for aclual business a little bel»w
the specie

irold
market above. It is bulioved that tho movement of Uoltod
States bonds towards this »)untry his latterly been
of less
amount, but as there will probably ba very few railroad or other
Ixinds placed abroad this year, it is anticipated that
exchange
will rule firm unWss disturbed again by scarcity
of cash gold
here or some other speculative influence.
To day business was
dull on a basis of abrout 4.Wi for sixty dayg, and

For the adjustment of the debt of the city, I recommend the
appointment of a board of five persons, who should be clothed, by
legislative enactment, with full power to negotiate with the
creditors of the city, to any equitable plan of compromise, either
by the premium bond pl^n or any other mode that may be determined upon, after a full conference with the representatives of
the bondholder.i, which agreement, when ratiKed by the City

Controller requires that none of these shall be disposed of
at a lower premium than was received in the former transaction,
19 per cent., and will pay for the bounty debt received in
exchange at the r.ite of 4 per cent, premium until the 1st of
April, and after that date at a premium of 3 per cent, only, inasmuch as the stock will then have only one year to run at 7 per
cent., and the deduction of 3 per cent, premium will leave only 4
per cent, interest on the investment, as low a rate as the State
can afford to receive. In case the negotiation is as as successful,
as in the present state of the market it seems very likely to be,
the premiums will probably reach the total of $1,300,000, which
will then reduce the debt, according to the figures of the last report of the ilontroller, to $700,000.
It ought to bo said here, however, that the Governor in his
message and the present Controller differ from Controller Hopkins on this point, holding that a certain share of the resources
he includes in his statement is not actually available for the purpose of reducing the debt, and believing thit a tax of one half of
a mill will be necessary to extinguish the debt, instead of onethird, as Mr. Hopkins stated.

Friday Night, Feb.

18. 1876.

Trade has been dull and disappointing; the past week. Reducwhiuh have been made in prices of foreign inerchaudise and
domestic manufactures have not stimulated business and the
speculation, wliicli was ho ge neral in staples of domestic produce,
has been restricted to one or two articles. The slow progress
which Congress makes witli measures of finance anJ taxation,
upon which important intercs's turn, begins to excite some complaint, and altogether an unsettled feeling prevails. The weather
much of the time has been cold and blustering, in marked contrast with the spring-like temperature of last week.
Speculation in pork and lard has progressed with much activity,
and a ixaterial advance in prices has been realized. The packing
season at the West seems to have come to a premature end, from
the scarcity and high prices of swine. The loading grades of
pork are SOc^gf 1 per bbl higher, but for future delivery the close
is not much higher than last Friday

high as |13 50 spot and March $13 C0@13 62J for April $13 82 J
for May, and $13 90 for June, closing quiet. The speculation
has been aided by an active demand from refiners, and there has
been, also, an active demand from Germany. Bacon and cut
meats are higher, but not active. Beef is without further improvement. Butter and cheese have ruled steady but less active.

In OUT last annual report we pointed oat a feature in the
figures relating to the comparative consumption of Great Britain
and the Continent "worth the serious attention of those who
have been and are still directly or indirectly seeking to increase
the cost of production in this country," and for the benefit of the
same people we append the following account of the consuming
power of Great Britain, Continental Europe, the United States,

In Frunce consumption again increased, and the year's results
were satisfactory, especially to manufacturers, though the profits

on spinning were very meagre, especially to those spinners who
held large stocks of the raw material at the opening of the year;
weaving was more remunerative. During the last three or four

PROSPECTS OF SUPPLY FOR 1876.
Twelve months ago we estimated the import into Europe from
all sources for 1875 at 5,470,000 bales; the actual arrivals were
5,.525,000 bales, or only .55,000 bales more than our estimate.
There was a material deficiency in the imports from the Brazils,
West Indies, &c., but this was more than counterbalanced by the
excess in the arrivals Irom America, Egypt and India, owing
mainly to the extraordinary rapidity with which the new crops
of America and Esrypt were marketed the imports in the last
three months of the year being 680,600 American, against only
493,360 in 1874, and 213,900 Egyptian, &c., against 186,650 bales.

—

In our October report

we

estimated fthe probable import of

American for the season 1875-6 at 2,750,000 bales. This computation was based on the supposition that the crop would range
from 4,000,000 to 4,100,000 bales, or an average of 4,0-50,000
bales, and that American spinners would take 1,.300, 000 bales.
In the same report we stated that with an open winter the crop
might roach 4 250,000 bales. In some measure the winter has
approached the character of openness contemplated in our
October circular. Picking has been serioujly interfered with by
frequent, and at times, continuous rains, bun a large quantity of
cotton has been gathered that would not have been grown if the
frosts of October and November had been as severe and as widespread as in the corresponding months of the previous season.
This circumstance has naturally led to a general increase in crop

The crop controversy of to-day presents almost precisely the
same features as twelve months ago. Again we hear of large
stocks in the plantations, which are to swell the receipts at the
ports in February; and again the reports of the Washington
Bureau and the Southern Cotton Exchanges are pooh-poohed as
pedantic and absurd. Again, therefore, estimates of yield are
wide apart; strict adherents to the last Bureau report confining
tlieir expectations to 4,100,000 bales, and strong believers in the
greater trustworthiness of private advices confidently looking for

readers to draw their own conclusions from the facts which we

have placed before them merely premising that the recei])t8
during the coming four or five weeks will settle the questioi
whether the crop is to exceed or fall short of 4^ million bales.
Aside from the size of the crop, it is worthy of notice that it is
much lower in quality than the last, owing to tlie picking season,
though longer, having been much loss favorable than the last, in
consequence of the prevalence of rainy weather; and, whatever

To—

comparative statement of the movements of cotton in Rurope
and the United SUtes for the years 1875, 1874, 1873, and 18G0:

I

This prospective supply is slightly less than the estimated
requirements. Tlie important feature is that an American crop
of 4,250,000 bales is required to meet the wants of the world.
Such being the case, it may be taken for eranted that even
4,850,000 bales would not be too much to handle.
PROBABLE COURSE OP PRICES IN 1870.
With supply and demand at about an equilibrium, one would
not, under ordinary circumstances, look for any material variabut, as pointed out
tion in prices from the rates now current
in our October report, the market for two or three years past has
been under the control of extraordinary (last year very extraordinary) circumstances.
Even yet cotton is not on its own merits.
A protracted series of internal misfortunes, brought about by
over-production, aggravated by adverse external influences in the
shape of bad trade and 6nancial crisec in every important centre
of monetary and commercial activity throughout the world, have
so demoralized the business community that pessimism is everywhere rampant and we do not remember a new year which
opened so lifelessly or so utterly devoid of clieerfulness as has
;

;

upon which we are now entering. Look which way we will,
is not visible a single gleam of hearty hopefulness, and a
thoroughgoing optimist is quite a curiosity. Some day a great
ciiange will come, but when, it is impossible to say. So far as cotton
concerned, all that we have to say for the present is, that prices

Last year the average price of middling
upland from January to April was 7|d. per pound, and the most
prevalent opinion as to the future was that SJd. would be witnessed in the autumn, and yet only 1^^ per cent more land was
sown than in 1874, in which season 10^^ per cent less land was
sown than in 1873, although the average price of uolands from

The average cost of producing cotton, for the entire South, is
probably less now than it was half a dozen years ago, owing
partly to the fall in the value of labor and partly to the increased
proportion of land sown in the more fertile and therefore less
expensively cultivated region in the Southwest (especially in
Texas, in which State l,iU4.000 acres were sown this season,
against only 713,000 in 1871, and 900,000 in 1870), but that preparation for a large crop will be mnde throughout the cotton region
at 6Jd. is, to say the least, highly improbable.
The following are the exports of piece goods and yarn to the
chief districts of the world, during 1875, and the corresponding
totals for the four previoiig yearii.

Bags, Bagging, &c. During the past week the market for bagging has ruled very (juiet, and no sales of any consequence have been consummated. Prices are nominally quoted at
13@13ic. At the close there are rumors of a sale of 2,500 rolls,
but we cannot vouch for its correctness. Bales are quiet and
nominal at 9(a9ic. lor India, and 12J@12}c. for Borneo. Bags
neglected and quoted at ISJc. for 440s. Butts have coiue to hand
in sufficient parcels to fully supply the wants of buyers, and
orders are scarce at the moment. Sales here and in Boston for
the week are 3,500 bales at 3i@3ic., cash and time, and at tlie
close holders are asking these figures.
