The securities of this road were selected by us tobe offered to our friends and investors generall^v
aftera careful examination of many difterent railway
enterprises, upon a conviction that the bonds of the
Logansport.. Crawfordsville and Southwestern Railway offer at once the utmost security, and the most
liberal leturns consistent with such safety.
These bonds are coupon and registered ; bearing
interest in gold at 8 per cent per annum, free of
Government tax, payable quarterly in New York.
A sinking fund is provided for the ultimate payment
of the principal.
At the present rate of Government Securities,
none of them pay the investor 6 per cent,
and some less thtin 5 per cent per annum, upon
the cost of investment. The bonds of the Logansport, Crawfordsville and Southwestern Railway, at

Interest and on account of the redemption of five-twenties furnished a large supply of cash gold and made it heavy for carrying. Towards the close of the month there was more firmness,

Railroad Officf.rs as STOCKHOLDEna and Specui.atobs.—
A
bill is now pending in the lower house of the State Legislature
which provides, in effect, that no director, trustee, or officer of any
corporation formed under tlie laws of the State of New York, or
having an office in that State, shall purchase or obtain any interest in, either directly or through an agent, any stock in the corporation of which he is an officer, under penalty of fine and imprisonment also forbidding any person to act as broker or agent
of such officer to make such purchase, under the same penalties.
It is understood that the object of this measure is to prevent the
officers of railroad and other companies from speculating in the
stocks of the companies with wliicli they are connected. If the
bill had proposed that the ollicers of corporations be prevented
from selling, or othernisa disposing of, instead of from buying or
otherwise obtaining stocks of the companies with which they are
intrusted, it would have seemed less like a pleasantry. As it ia
we suspect the originator of the measure of an attempt to perpe.
trate a joke upou his fellow members. There is certainly a pretty
general belief that the corporate officer most likely to discharge his
duties faithfully and well, is not the one who has the least interest
in the permanent prosperity of the'enterprise of which he is a manager, but the one whose whole wealth is invested in it, or whose
income is largely dependent upon it.
At tue same time there is
an evil existing which this legislation is in appearance aimed at^
although it clearly fails to meet it.
Directors and officers of
our large corporations have peculiar means for obtaining information with regard to the company with which they are connected. Many of them use this information in a way to unduly
depress or inflate the stock, and at the same time sell or buy
greatly to the detriment of permanent investors. This speculating upon information which all the stockholders are eqtjally entitled to is a very great evil. But there is a perfect remedy if our
Legislature wishes to apply it. Let our zealous friend who has intro
duced the bill in question introduce another requiring all railroad
corporations to make and publish a monthly report of their earnings and expenses under oath, and to give the same public notice
of every increase of stock or bonds, and of every lease they pro;
pose to
make
;
—in a word, requiring them to expose to the public
is now kept concealed simlet him do this and then
ply for the benefit of the knowing few
press the measure to a vote, and we shall soon learn what disposition there is to reform this great and growing evil.

in full our article of the 33d December, which was headed as
above, and accompanies the same with the following remarks
" It will be easily seen that this article which we luivo reproduced from the Commkbcial Chronicle of New York, is the inspiration or work of one of the old New York houses formerly

The Darien Ship
Can.*.i,.— The Houso Committee on Foreign
have decided to report adversely upon the resolution introduced by Mr. Lynch a few days ago, requesting the President
to ascertain the views of European governments in regard to inAffairs
ternational co-operatiou for the construction of an isthmian ship
canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Committee
are of the opinion that such an enterprise should be
in the
hands of American citizens only, to the end that when opened,
the proposed canal may be exclusively under American
control!
probable that the decision of the Committee was
influenced
by a letter from Mr. Secretary Fish to General Banks, to the
effect
that ' it has not been the policy of this Government
to complicate
the question of the construction of such a canal by
encouraging
discussion or negotiations with European governments
upon the
subject, but rather to foster the development
of the enterprise
when the most practical and economical route shall
have been
determined upon, as an undertaking which
it is peculiarly the
duty of the American nation to carry forward
to a successful completion."
This does not mean as some seem
to think that it is
the policy of the government to make
the construction of the
proposed canal, if it should ever be
undertaken, a public work to
be constructed at the expense of the
national treasury
When
such a canal shall have become a
commercial necessity, there will
we think, be enough private enterprise and capital
in this country
and Europe to undertake its construction

It
will be observed,
therefore, that, according to the telegram in question, both bor-
rower and lender are looking so far ahead as sixteen months. The
present price of French five per cent, stock is rather more than 87^
and my opinion for saying that the above statement is premature'
is derived partly from the fact that the French government may
expect to borrow on easier terms sixteen months hence, while,
on the other hand, English capitalists may assert that the
financial difficulties of France are of too grave a character to
admit of a recovery in the value of their stocks.

The Treasury sales in February will be only $2,000,000, which
is so far favorable to higher prices, and as there is little n ore to
come on the market before March, it is easy to perceive that parties favorable to a rise calculate upon a less abundant supply
than the market has had lor the past two months. The Assistant
"Treasurer has paid out to date 123,8^9,000 on account of FiveTwenties redeined, and $14,097,000 for January interest.

"egular in tone, have not fluctuated greatly in prices, the strongest
Reeling of the week having been developed to-day, when prices
c'osed on the general list at about the highest point of the week.
There has been some evidence lately, that parties were buying.
In preparation for an upward movement, and the strength shown
to-day seems to be easily accounted for by the fact that there is
this influence on the side of higher prices. Erie stock has been
weak under the influence of various reports in regard to the
floating liabilities of the company and the issue of more slock.
The tJoverning Committee of the Stock Exchange have ordered
that no stock of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Hoad shall be a
good delivery on contracts at the board, except on such certificates
as have been already issued and countersigned at tlie office of
Messrs. Duncan, Sherman Si Co. This order will be in force uijtil
the transfer-books are reopened, and the stock duly registered jn

firmer on Virginia consolidated bonds, and without very important fluctuations on most of the other Southern bonds. The joint
committee of the Virginia Legislature have reported substantially in favor ot reconverting the entire debt of the State into a
bond bearing 3 per cent, per annum interest for the first twelve
years, 6 per cent, for the succeeding ten years, and 9 per cent, for
the remaining ten years, and in like proportion for the 5 per cent,
sterling debt. They also recommend the repeal of the present
funding bill, under which about two-thirds of the old bonds have
been funded, and that the coupons on the consols be no longer
received in payment of taxes. They also decline to assume any
responsibility ior the one-third of the entire debt the State apportioned to \Ve.st Virginia beyond what that State shall assume.
This report is made by fifteen of the joint committee, nine dissenting. In the mean time, the funding of the old bonds into
the new consols goes on, the Legislature not having overruled
the Governor's veto of the bill repealing the funding act and a
mandamus has been issued to compel ihe State authorities to receive the coupons of the new consols in payment oftaxes, in accordance with the terms of the contract on the face of the new consol.i.
In the Missouri Legislature the Governor's veto of the bill to pay
the old bonds in legal-tenders has been under discussion, but not
yet decided. These bonds are payable in coin by their terms, and
the short-sighted financial policy, for a rich State like Missouri,
to endeavor to save a small amount of money by paying in currency, is almost beyond comprehension.
liailroad bonds have been in good demand as usual, and the
new loans are reported to be selling well.

INVESTMENT OF OTONEV

ANB BONDS.
January was probably the most active month in
ailroad bonds that has ever been known in Wall street. The
apid advance in prices of the
old
railroad mortgages
under a sharp demand has hardly been equalled before. The
result of this movement has been to send up the prices of firstclass bonds on old roads to such high figures, that they are not
nearly as desirable for purchase.
From the scarcity and high
of
figures of the old issues, the
demand
Foxcrolt.
& Ogdensburg.
for other bonds, not so well
known, has been largely stimulated, and the inquiry has been active for all the later issues of railioad mortgages which are considered safe and nrofitable. A large class of bonds at the present time which seem to deserve special attention, are the mortga.
gages of certain roads guaranteed or indorsed by another company. While these stand nominally on the same basis as " guar
anteed " or " endorsed " bonds, there are hardly two of them
which are precisely the same, so widely do their respective conguaranty or endorsement differ in terms. The best form
of such a contract, in point of law, seems to be a positive endorse-
tracts of
ment on the bonds themselves, as no other form places a
more absolute responsibility upon the guarantor, nor is there any
other which is so difficult to evade. In purchasing an endorsed

purchasing new bonds have been entirely

Connellsville road, now known as the Pittsburg, Washington and Baltimore railroad, was opened for business in May last. The developments of its trade are large, and
demand a rapid increase of plant. The road is being supplied
with additional locomotives and cars, and it is believed thai the
sanguine expectations entertained regarding the results of that
important line will be ultimately realized. Arrangements are
progressing for the extension of this road through Pittsburg to
the great Northwest. It is expected that the construction of the
Baltimore, Pittsburg and Chicago railroad, fraught as the enterprise will be with such vast advantages to all the extensive and
varied interests with which it is to be connected, will be rapidly

amount to $1,.547,565 02. Large forces are engaged, and the con
struction will be continuously pressed, so that this important and
commanding line will be completed, if rracticable, in April next.
Investments have been made in original capital, and continuously
lor arching the tunnels, perfecting the tracks and works of the
Parkersburg branch road, and in constructing the bridge for its
connection with the Marietta and Cincinnati railroad of more than
nine millions of dollars. Much assistance has also been extended
to the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad Company for the improvement of that line. Large as have been these expenditures, the wisdom of the policy pursued by the company has been shown not
only by a constantly expanding traffic, and its effect upon the
prosperity of the cities of Cincinnati and Baltimore and of the intermediate territory, but the singular directness and importance
of the line has commanded the legitimate fruit of securing its
practical extension from Cincinnati to Louisville and St. Louis.

'Wallhlil Valley Railroad.— The finest railroad bridge in the
State of Ne^ York is that which spans the west branch of the
Wallkill river (and at the same time the D. and H. Canal) at
Rosendale. This'bridge, put up by the Wallkill Valley Railroad
Company, cost $250,000. It is a most handsome and substantial
structure, 900 feet long and 150 feet high.
The portion of the Wallkill Valley railroad in operation is in
excellent order and paying well. The line traverses a magnificent section of country, noted for its picturesque scenery and its
agricultural and manufacturing resources.
The road is ready for the iron to Kingston, and the company
only await suitable weather to lay the rails. The company's
bond, 7 per cent gold first mortgage, 30 years to run, is sold in
;
On July 23d last, the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, which, including its Louisville brancli, is 393 miles in length, altered its
gauge from six feet to four feet nine inches, to correspond with our
line from Baltimore to Cincinnati.
Prior to that period, that important road having the same broad guage, maintained its chief
business by the Atlantic and Great Western and the New York
and Erie roads with the city of New York.

The market the
past week has been buoyant and excited. Prices
h*ve pretty steadily improved, and sales have been large. An
upward movement in gold, together with the continued activity
at advancing rates at Liverpool, has induced shippers to take
hold much more freely, while the eagerness of the shorts to cover
their contracts produced much exciiement in the market lor futures and helped the progress upward. The diminished receipts
at our ports (confirming as they are supposed to do) ihe short
crop views, have, ot course, been the basis for this renewed activity, while the ready response of
Liverpool to each advance has
strengthed the position of holders in the belief that consumption
is to go on at the same enlarged rate of the past six months, so
that the supply of the American staple is sure to prove deficient.
The more conservative of the trade, however, believe that the
effect of high prices on consumption cannot as yet be measured,
nor can their influence on the India supply be known hence all
such hold aloof from the present speculation, prefering to realize
present profits rather than to run the risk of a loss in the hope of
securing a greater gain. The close to-night was firm on account of
the small aggregate receipts for the week, although early in the
day the market showed some weakness. The last quotations
for futures were (basis low middling) 224c. for February,

BREADSTUFP8.
Friday
P, M., February 2. 1872.
There have been but slight fluctuations in the market for
breadstuff's during the past week, and the close is comparatively
quiet.
The demand for flour has fallen off both for export and
home use there has, however, been more inquiry for shipping
extras from Spring wheat, and bids for good lines of extra State
have been advanced to $6 60, but as they are not plenty this
price is still below the views of holders. Medium grades of
Western, ranging from $7@8, are very plenty and slow of sale,
and fair winter wheat extras have been sold for the West
Indies as low as $0 7.j. Family brands, though firm, have been

irregular prices. Spring wheat shows a slight improvement, white
Winter wheat has been depressed. The receipts at all points conlinue limited, but the stock in store at this point has experienced
but very small reduction. To-day, there was a moderate busi-

Business has been fair in a general way, and some very good sales are reported closed, but still the movement does not appear to come up to the calculations and expectations of many of the trade, and here and there some dissatisfaction Is expressed. Buyc rs are evidently working on a cautious principle, and not much inclined to handle stock in excess of known wants, and
though a few large Invoices go out, the demand lacks that snap and vim so
conducive to buoyancy on prices and a drawing in of hesitating operators.
Greens are in comparatively very small supply, not many to come, and more
generally sought aft(T than any other grade, and niitui-ally ruled llrmly, while
blacks and Jaiians are irregular, though the latter have sold fairly of late.
The line trade has been moderate, and has helped to keep the wholesale market
in a dull condition. Sales In .Invoices.of 7,160 Greens 8,600 Japans, and 2,300

position of the wholesale market shows no very important
variation for the period under review. Holders still feel, oral least assume,
full as much confidence as ever, offer with mnderalion, and make no pretense
of entering into negotiations where there is not a strong probability that
extreme prices can be obtained, and in fact exhibit no anxiety whatever to
force business. Buyers, on the other hand, rendered cautious by the full
prices rulitig. and finding the general call from smnll dealers and consumers
not up to predictions, and, in fact, only fair at the best, are indisposed to
operate unless actually compelled to, and in the majority of cases confine
their movements to a basis of imperative ne<eBeltie8. Of Brazils the sales at
this point were comparatively small from first bands, and during the greatci
jwrtion of the week the market had rother a stupid tone. Holders of the
well controlled stock were strong enough In their views, and made bnt a pooi
show of samples, some of the most desirable parcels still being entirely withdrawn, and in all cases outside rates were asked, but so far as the actual ont.
let at current figures was concerned the stock available proved ample. Jobbers were selling fair amounts to the interior, but nothing heavy, and found
their stocks in store snfllcient both as to quantity and assortment !o meet
their orders without trouble, and were in consequence rather offish abont
further purchases at importers views, especially as they were In a good many
instances enabled ;o secure a handsome profit on a basis of about the wholesale rates. AM were i)rotty firm, however, and not a few rather inclined to
lend their aid in supporting values on invoices in order to let them out on
recent high priced purchases. At the outports the cargo sales have been fair,
and at extreme rates in all cases. West India descriptions are moderately
active, owing, iu part, to want of a general stock, but firm, and, in some cases,
held higher. Java has gone out fairly from second hands but the wholesale
market rather slow and without specially interesting features beyond a continued asking of extreme rates. The Invoice transactions at this point embrace 2,933 b-igs Rio, 1,097 bags Maracaibo, 2.461 bags Porto Hico, I,7S0 bags
Jamaica, 228 bags Costa Rica, 400 bags St. Domingo, 500 bags (Government)

found in attendance occasionally looking for parcels to carry them through
present necessities, though, heyond this, they are unwilling to operate, in
view of direct importations in prospect. For domestic the market has been
irregular, some receivers asking full rates and storing goods rather than concede, and others offering with a fair show of freedom, and allowing comparatively easy terms. Taken altogether, however, the tendency was mainly in
buyers' favor, the supply proving rather too large to handle easily. Syrups
are firmer on a small supply. Sugar-house molasses is also scarce, and, with
an improving demand, the tone is firmer at 18®19c. in hhds.. and a2@23c. in

most grades, and holders quite willing to riMlize, though not resorting to any

Domestic Oreen.— The market continues in jnst about the same quiet position as noted for some time past. There does not appear to be any animation in the trade for apples or cranberries. False rumors are being continually put into circulation in regard to failures, which, as a rule, are entirely devoid of truth
California pears are in fair jobbing demand at full prices.
Domestic Dried.— New apples are in fair demand, but old are dull and
neglected. Peaches are quiet and rather difficult to sell. Peanuts have been
quite active, but toward the close have become quiet as most dealers pretty
well supplied themselves. Prices are rather weak owing to the large stock in
store, especially of old. Pecans are higher, and have been in good demand,
but close quiet at the improvement.

goods has been very fair this week, and the
market retains all of the firmness noted in previous reportsBrown sheetings and shirtings in the medium and lower grades
liave been undergoing some changes in prices; the alterations
bein;? mainly for the equalization of values to conform to the
advances made some time since on the better grades of goods.
Fine grades are unchanged and remain firm. Bleached sheetings
and shirtings sell fairly in a jobbing way at about former quotations.
Some makes of the finest qualities are sold to arrive, by
agents, and orders for future delivery are only taken at valueColored cottons are firm and the tendency of prices on some styles
\i toward an advance.
Denims are a shade higher on some
makes, but the rise has not become general as yet. Rolled jaconets
are up again, 13}c. being the current asking price for plain shades,
with little stock offering and a probability of a further rise. Prints
are firm and sell fairly in medium fancy styles and shirtings at

consumers in an easier financial condition, and enable<l them to
buy more liberally than for several seasons past. In the West
and North everything seems favorable for a good trade. Chicago
has recovered in a great measure from the effects of her disaster
last fall, but the demand from that city, thus far. has been more
for the necessaries than for the luxuries of life, and it is probable
that of the goods sold to that city this spring an unusually large
proportion will be of the medium and lower grades. Collections
