traffic to sustain it, an equitable decision of the arbitrator?
would in all probability allow damages to its full value. It
will be seen that the company
has the right to oppose the
construction of a canal through the pass in which the rail
road is situated, and it would undoubtedly
avail itself of the
privilege. Considering therefore the money required to
build the canal even at the most available
point, the cheapest
and best course for those proposing to undertake the work
would be to buy up the railroad. The market value ot
the stock is nowr three hundred and forty, and if an effort was
made to purchase it, its value would probably rise to four
hundred. This would make the road worth twenty-eight million
dollars to the purchasers.
As soon as the canal company con¬
trolled its affairs, however, it would be able to avail itself of the
advantages offered by the pass through the mountains which
that road now monopolizes. The price it would cost would be
well invested, since in building the canal on the line of the
road, the company would save from fifty to one hundred
million dollars, at least in making surveys and in moving the
material necessary lor the woik. The pretended surveys of
another route by Lacbarme—an account of which is published
in the March number of Putnam’s Magazine—are
deserving of
but little credence. Many of the calculations, particularly those

$20,000,000 have been shipped this month, and advices of the ship*
ments have been sent by cable, get prices at London and Frankfort
have been maintained, to-day’s clo-ing quotations for five twenties
at London being 78f. the highest point ever touched.
This move¬
ment naturally induced a very stro g feeling on the market, and
prices at one time were 1@2 per cent above our last quotations
I he market, however, was largely oversold, and certain firms arc
supposed to have locked up money in co-op ration with a combina¬
tion <o depress all the markets, as a means of arresting the upward
movement.
For one day the market was singularly deprived of
cable quotations, which had the effect of checking foreign pur¬
chases ; and this occurring concurrently with strong attacks upon
the market, prices Ceil in one diy f@l per cent.
It is regarded as
a singular coincidence that while these operations have been going
forward, Mr. Hooper’s bill p o dding for the closing of existing
authorizations to issue bon is, has been detained in the Senate Fi¬
nance
Committee, although unanimously approved iu the Hous1,
and also by a majority of the Finance Committee.
Nor is it less
singular that every effort of Senator Elmunls to get a hearing for
his declaratory resolution is repressed by the manoeuvring of one or
two Senators.
If all that is said fere, in well informed circles, be
true, there is good reason f r supposing that this blocking of bil’s
calculated to improve public credit is done in the interest of parties
here, and of their Wa hington confrere?;, who for some time past
have stood in a position to profit by the fall of Government secu¬
Grant’s administration, and

considerable amount of loans
were
called in and the money
tempora¬
rily held ofl’ the market. For two or three days the market was
consequently very stringent, and in some instances 7 per cent in
gold was paid on stock loans. Later there was an ample supply of
money, and this afternoon loans were made at G per cent on govern,
ment
collaterals.
In banking circles some disappointment is felt at the non return
of currency from the South aud West.
At New Orleans exchange
on
New York is now at par, andj shipments of currency to that
point have consequently ceased. At Chicago, however, there is a
great abundance of drafts on this city and some remittances to that
point have been made this week. In view of the usual April wants
of the near-by banks in connection with settlements, and of the near
approach of the openiug of navigation, when currency is wanted for
orwarding Western produce, it is not probable that the banks of
the interior will feud here their surplus funds on deposit to the same
as
usual; in which event the money market could not be expected
to show any great ease between now and summer.
The discount market is steady. There is a good
supply of paper,
and rates for prime paper range at
per cent.

Miscellaneous Stocks.—The chief feature of
the
operations of a combination of
private speculators to break down the market. The
stocks embraced in the programme of the Erie parly were the more
especial objects of attack. Pacific Mail and Reading were aso
strongly, assailed, one of the parties to the combination being known
to have large outstanding “ short ” contracts on these stocks.
The
market yielded 2@4 percent under these operations; when the
clique commenced to b iy for covering their sales, causing a return
to near the prices at which the movement commenced. To-day the
market opened quite strong, but on its becoming known that the
trunk roads had reduced the rate on freights between New York
and Chicago to 25 cents per cwt., there was a weaker feeling and
prices fell off, the market closing barely steady. The condition of
the market does not appear inviting to outside speculators, who
consequently are doing little. The cliques holding large amounts of
stocks for higher prices, however, show considerable confidence, and
appear to ba operating for an ultimate rather than an immediate

dull, except in Groceries, which have
'special causes. In other leading staples,
such speculation as prevails is fora decline from the advanced

erally declined. Groceries have been active and buoyant.
For all descriptions of the hog product we still find a dull
unsatisfactory market, and further modifications in the values
of the leading grades.
The absence of any general desire to
realize is as apparent now as heretofore, but a few holders in
need of funds are thinking it best to secure whatever profit
mAy have accrued are offering their goods, and finding a de¬
cided scarcity of buyers, concessions are necessary in order to
effect sales. The operations are almost entirely of specula¬
tive nature, settling contracts, etc., jobbers calling lor only a
few retail parcels, and shippers doing absolutely nothing. The
beef product is also very much neglected, and to sell with
any freedom at the moment lower rates would have to be
accepted. The English markets have received a very fair
supply from here, as well as considerable quantities direct
from the new packing depots at the South, beside which
some of last
year’s stock still remains unsold, and shippers in
consequence are unwilling to operate except upon positive
orders, or when something unusually fine and pretty sure of
a
quick sale abroad presents itself. The stock, of both bbls.
and tcs. increases.
Butter aud Cheese are firmer.
Hides and Leather continue relatively scarce, with prices
somewhat better. Petroleum has been without essential
change, and closes quiet. Naval Stores have slightly de¬
clined, in sympathy with a depression in foreign markets, and
close dull.
Oils have been quiet, without essential change.
East India Goods have shown considerable activity, in
Hemp, Linseed, and Gunnies, at improving prices, but close
quiet. Metals have been dull and unsettled ; it is probable
that the President will veto the Copper Tariff Bill, but
equally probable that it will be passed over the veto by both
houses of Congress. Iron shows more strength, with an in¬
creasing inquiry.
Hops have been active. I lay is declining. Whiskey is
lower, although the distillation has entirely ceased in this
city. The revenue oflicers assert that large quantities of
contraband Whiskey come upon the market from Philadel¬
phia, where a large number of distilleries are in operation.
Building Materials show a material advance in common hard
biick and in Eastern lumber, but lime and cement are lower.
Fish are very scarce and firm.
Fruits are without import¬
ant movement,
in raisins, which close firmer.
except
Wool has been fairly active at full prices for all grades.
Freights have been dull at declining rates to nearly all

THE CHRONICLE

The exports of cotton this week from New York slow a small
lating stock—looking doubly large when so closely following the small
total of last summer.
The effect on consumption both here and abroad increase, the total reaching 7,526 bales, against 6,026 bales last
week.
Below we give our table showing the exports of cotton from
of this feeling of uncertainty as to the future of cotton (if 1 ng con¬
New York, and their direction for eacli of the last th ee weeks; also
tinued) cannot be doubtful. Were there, however, in the Liverpool
market a renewal of the excitement in cotton this feeling would be the total exports and direction since September 1, 1S68 ; and in the
Let column the total for the same period of the previous year:
likely to change, but if we are to have continued dull re ports by cable
with small sales, the influence musb be very unfavorable.
For active KxporlsofCotton (bales) from New York since Sept# 1* 1868 Sam a

movement. Most certainly, if the result of our figures is
consuming 24,00 ) bales per week, the statement
would neei to be well supported.
But what, we would ask, doea the
writer prop )se t) do with the amount which was at the tine in transit
from the Southern ports to the North ? Certainly it was no part of the
stick at the porti, n>r had it been consumed by the mi Is, and yet no
accouut is made of it.
Then, agiin, our mills on January 1st, had a
largely increa3ed’st'ck. A cireful and detailed count of this stock wa9
made for us by the Manufacturers’ Association before we issued our
state nent; and yet the writ ;r of the circular is apparently ign :rant of
the fact that there was any such slock, for hi9 estimate is made on the
supposition that the mills have consumed all they have received. Mak¬

sales. Molasses has sympath'sed to a great extent with sugar,
and stocks being nearly sold out prices have largely advanced.
Rio coffee has been merely steady, and of other kinds the
principal dealings have been in Maracaibo. Tea baa been
quite active in greens, but other sorts were neglected.
Imports of the week have included several cargoes of tea,
mostly greens, limited quantities of llio, but large receipts of
Maracaibo and St. Domingo coffees, and of sugar and mo¬

previous weeks*

unusual animation in Sugars aie

to restrict business

have taken at rates 5 per cent higher.
The whole condition
of the market depends now so largely upon the' course ol
cotton that we commend to the careful attention of our
readers in the dry goods trade, to the report on cotton given
on a previous page; this report prepared with the utmost care
and labor should be read every week in connection with this
review of the dry goods market.
The number of country merchants now in the city is large,
the South especially being well represented, and if trade is
not checked by the unsettled state of prices a good business
should be expected with jobbers.
The following is a comparison of prices on this date (Feb¬
ruary 19), for six years past:

implies, the
w> rk is only a secondary part of our busl ess ; and
useful as it m*y be, is only an indication ol the facili¬
ties we can afford our subsc ibers in aiding them to
salely dispense credit.
The Reference Book la
merely an outgrowth of a large and comprehensive
system inaugurated and tested by us and our immedi¬
ate predecessors years before any sucli publication
was dreamed of—a system which has for its basis a
statement of all the facts and details gleaned from the
best sources of information, which, year by year, as
they accumulate, make
up tne history of every busi¬
ness man in the country.
The accuracy of these de¬
tails is alike tested and vouched for by their constant
use as a basis for credit by the large number oi sub¬
scribers whose confidence we have enjoyed loraperiod now extending over a quarter oi a century, it
is obvious, that with these current histories of all ap.
plicants for credit accessible, the merchant who neg¬
lects to avail himself of them, and contents himself m
the granting ol even a single credit with the mere
Riling oi a Book’, does him ef very great ii jusiica.
He doubles the ordinary risks of credit by leaning
upon a meagre and at tire best incomplete guide.
We have referred to the matter in .he above man¬
ner because we notice a dangerous tendon y
among
dispensers ot credit (even among our more recent
subscribers) to rely purely on the Kefeience Book.
We urge upon them them the desirability—nay, tha
absolute necessity, i they seek to trace safely—to
consult tire detailed Reports on Record at our various
offices. We are cet tain, from Jong experience, that
they will be amply repaij for tne slight labor which
and convinced that by neg¬
lecting to do so they are constantly doing themselves
an injustice, increasing the already greutrisks of cre¬
diting, and rendering inoperative the extended facili¬
ties wuieh we pos^e.-s to serve them.
The New Book, issued January 1, is the largest and
most complete ever issued; is cori ected up to within
a very shout date of publication, and we are sure will
meet with the approval of our patrons.

Our arrangements will
require a
plied, especially to the increseof considerable amount of money to be ap¬
roilug stock, to render hem productive.
This it is
proposed to raise by giving to the stokhoMets
registered upon the
book of the
company on the 18th day of April next, tlm
privilege of subscrib¬
ing to 25 per cent ot their holdings at that time
in new shares at
the p -oposed increase of
par.
With
capital, the Board entertain no fear of
dividends of 10 per cent per
difficulty in
annum, even f this a r ngeinent should
not, as
anticipated, increase our net profits to a greater extent 'ban
the interest upon
the outlays to be incurred.
It will appear' that tin
biisine-s of the past year
would have justified dividends of
live per ce»*t semi
atrmally upon our whole
authorized capital, and 8tili leave a
surplusool lia fa mi lion dollars. The
posed increase will make the
