change, the bank clearings atJNew York for the week ending
January 29th exhibit an increase over the preceding week. To
be sure, the gain is not heavy, reaching only $21,010,099, but
any gain under the circumstances is gratifying, and would
seem to denote that although the labor troubles cause some
uneasiness, the business public have become so accustomed to
these disturbances that their effect has been minimized. Out.
side of New York there is a decline from January 22d more
than sufficient to offset the excess at thi3 city, so that the net
result in the whole country is a decline of $7,079,079.
The comparison with the corresponding week of 1886 is a
very favorable one. Of the thirty-two cities included in our

THE CHKONIDLE.
TH ti F IN A N C IA L S ITU AT IO N .
Money has remained without any very material change
this week. As represented by bankers’ balances at the Stocx
Exchange, call loans have ranged between 5 and
per
rant, averaging 4 per cent, with renewals at 4£ per cent.
A feature of the market has been a good demand at 4£
|>er cent for loans at ninety days to four months on firstclass collateral and at 5 per cent for less desirable security*
Another peculiarity is that commercial paper rules high»
consider ing the state of call loans, the supply being abun
dant and the demand, though good, not at all urgent.
Endorsed bills receivable are quoted at 5 percent, commis*

Here we see that the debt reduction of $56,667,573 for
the seven months this year, compares with a similar reduction in the previous year of only $50,451,877, showing
that notwithstanding the heavier expenditures the surplus
this year was
million dollars greater than in 1885-6.
Looking at the figures of Government revenue, it will be
seen that for the seven months it foots up 209 million
dollars, against only 191-J- millions in 1885-6, being an
increase of 17^- million dollars. There was a gain in
every one of the seven months. It does not matter that
the increase is not in the internal revenue receipts, but in
customs and miscellaneous items. The important fact is>
that the Treasury officers find their total revenue growing
larger, and with it their surplus accumulations. In
this connection we would refer our readers to an article
in a subsequent column on a new proposal for relief of
the Treasury. The plan referred to is not however
intended as a substitute for tax reduction, but to make
provision for its failure.
The Delaware & Hudson has issued an even briefer
preliminary statement of ita operations than usual, but on
application we have obtained a few additional items,
enabling us to present our usual comparisons. As in the
case of the Delaware Lackawanna & Western, the unfa
vorable condition of the anthracite coal trade during a
good part of 1886, operated to reduce results, so the
balance remaining for dividends is a trifle smaller even than
in 1885, when it had been the smallest since 1879. The
balance is $1,175,486, which is almost exactly five per
cent on the $23,500,000 stock outstanding through the
year, and this is the rate of dividends that the company
is paying. The following contrasts the figures for 1886
with those for eight years preceding.

This shows that after the heavy falling off in the coal
receipts in 1885, the recovery in 1886 was comparatively
slight. On the other hand, the receipts from the opera
tion of the railroads increased in the sum of $784,297,
and are decidedly the largest ever made, the total now
standing at $8,239,747, against only $3,152,839 in 1879.
One result of the larger rail earnings, is that the company
is able to make a much better showing on the operations
of the leased roads— Albany & Susquehanna, Rensselaer
& Saratoga and the New Y ork & Canada. After paying
all charges and expenses, these netted the Delaware &
Hudson a loss of $313,330 in 1885; in 1886 the loss was
only $21,695. The following compares this item for a
series of years past. The results are all comprised in the
totals in the first table above, but it is interesting to see
how those totals were affected by the obligations on
account of the leased roads.

The tendency of the stock market this week has been
downward, the controlling features having been the war
rumors from Europe, the uncertainty about the InterState commerce bill, and the unsettled condition of trans
portation movements occasioned by the strikes. Whether
or not war is to ensue in Europe it is certain that there
has been heavy selling of American securities on European
account, and that this has caused a sharp decline in our
stock market, the fall being heaviest in those securities
presumably held most largely abroad.
A s for
the strikes, it is evident that the coal com
panies are becoming masters of the situation in
their particular difficulty, while as for the freight
handlers’ strike a similar result is to be anticipated.
These difficulties therefore have had a less adverse effect
on the market than might have been expected. The InterState Commerce bill is a much more important influence
in its bearing upon the present and future of prices, and
until either the President vetoes the measure (which had
not happened up to the close of business yesterday) or the
true meaning of its various provisions is more clearly de
termined, we may expect operators and the public to show
much hesitancy in undertaking dealings on the Stock Ex
change. One thing, however, this week’s events have de
termined, and that is, that there is a very strong under
tone to the market, for as compared with the enormous
sales on foreign account the fall in prices here has been
slight. One or two stocks like New Y ork & New England
and Consolidated Gas have followed an independent
course, and are higher than a week ago.
The following statement, made up from returns c o l
lected by us, shows the week’s receipts and shipments of
gold and currency by the New York banks.
Though the net result is thus not materially different
from that for 1885, there are one or two features of the
1886 operations that are quite encouraging. In the first
place, note that the total coal tonnage was larger than in
the year preceding and larger also than in any previous
year. It is true that as compared with 1885 there is
some falling off in the tonnage transported for others, but
this was more than made good by an increased tonnage
produced at the company’s own mines. Then it will also

not find the business profitable enough to make it ad

the Government imposes a burden which with great pro

abrupt and wilful foreclosure of all negotiation— as if in

It should also be remembered that the seizures of our
fishing vessels, of which complaint has been made, show,
if our facts cannot be controverted— whatever view of
the treaty is the right one— not only an utter lack of
proper courtesy, but in some cases actual brutality, in the
methods the Canadian customs officers adopted. If we
are to credit the received facts, the procedures have
been more like those between belligerents than between
friendly nations.
W e have not room to recite the cir

purpose we have in view make it necessary that we should
do so, as they are familiar to the public. Besides, the

of the facts, are sufficient to establish the state of the

why may not the proposal of the Treasurer with the

only meet a present need, but even with taxes greatly re
duced, we are always liable to have a surplus, and though
it may be small when the expected tax reduction has been
effected, an assured outlet for any possible accumulations
is quite essential. In adding the feature suggested by Mr.
Trenholm for banking purposes, and thus making the new
bonds more valuable, the success of the scheme would
seem to be placed beyond doubt, while the problem of bank

years surpass Great Britain. In the United States
the increase the late year, compared with the previous
year, reached 1,836,819 tons of 2,000 lbs., or full 40 per
cent. Nor does this measure the extent of the revival
that has taken place, for with this enlarged production
stocks in makers’ hands were diminished from 416,512
tons to 249,504 tons; furthermore, our imports of iron
of various kinds
reached 1,230,390 tons, against

THE CHRONICLE.
This shows interesting changes. The production in the
United States has been steadily extending, till in the late
year the make amounted to 6,366,688 tons, against only
1,865,000 tons in 1870, and against but 3,070,875 tons as
recently as 1879. There have been set-backs of course,
involving periods of declining totals, but after each decline
a higher level has been reached, and with the extraordi
nary development in the late year, the 1886 aggregate is
decidedly the heaviest on record. The increase since 1879
is over 100 per cent, and since 1870 nearly 250 per cent.
Great Britain also has enlarged its production, as com
pared with both 1870 and 1879, but in a more moderate
way, and during the last four years has been experiencing
a steady decline. About this decline, however, there is
nothing so very striking, since our production had also
been declining between 1882 and 1885, and only in the
late year did the recovery which subsequently became so
marked begin. Already the activity here has slightly
stimulated trade in Great Britain, and it may be that, the
state of European politics permitting, the current year
will again record a higher production for that country—
especially is this likely to be the case if prices here should
be so high as to admit of a large influx of the product. It
is significant of the controlling influence that the U nited
States has had in this respect in the past, that in the pre
vious era of falling totals, the United Kingdom made its
lowest total in 1879, and then steadily and largely in
creased till it reached its highest aggregate in the same
year that we did ours, namely, in 1882— the increase in
those three years being from 6,714,777 tons in 1879 to
9,617,081 tons in 1882, from which there has since been a
decline to 7,800,000 tons.
Bearing in mind that in using the results for 1886, we
are taking Great Britain at her worst, the comparison of
the figures of the two countries affords a good measure of
the great progress that the United States has made in this
industry. In 1870 the make of iron in the United States,
as already said, was only 1,865,000 tons, but in Great
Britain the make was 6,679,137 tons; that is, the product
of the British Isles was nearly 3£ times that of the
United States. In 1879 the United Kingdom still had
more than twice as much as the United States, the totals
being respectively 6,714,777 tons and 3,070,875 tons. In
1886, however, we find this country up to 6,366,688 tons,
and Great Britain at 7,800,000 tons, a difference in favor
of the latter of only about 1,400,000 tons or less than 25
per cent.
In the one particular of home consumption the United
States would appear already to be decidedly in advance
of Great Britain.
A considerable proportion of the
United Kingdom’s make of iron is exported in one form
or another. On the other hand the exports from the United
States are so small as to count practically for nothing. As
stated further above, in 1886 the shipments of iron and
steel from Great Britain to foreign countries amounted to
3,795,901 tons, not including hardware or cutlery. If
against this we allow for 132,630 tons of unwrought steel
and of iron imported in the shape of bar, angle, bolt and
rod, we have a net export of 3,663,271 tons. Deducting
this from the 7,800,000 tons produced in the year, there
remains say about 4,100,000 tons for domestic consump
tion, leaving out of consideration altogether the increase of
stocks during the year.
In the same period the
United States has apparently used up its production of
6,366,688 tons, imported besides 1,230,390 tons, and
reduced stocks in makers’ hands 167,008 tons, affording a
grand total of over 7£ million tons consumed at home.
Hence consumption in the United
States would
[V ol. XLIY,
seem to be 90 per cent greater than in the United King,
dom.
Our great development in the production of iron has
been possible only through the coincident extension of our
coal production, and more particularly soft coal. It will
be observed from the table above that while up to 1875
the make of iron with anthracite as fuel exceeded that
with bituminous, since then the latter has been steadily
running ahead, till in 1886 nearly twice as much iron was
manufactured with soft coal as with hard coal, the figures
being respectively 3,806,174 tons and 2,099,597 tons.
The reasons for this predominance are of course obvious.
It follows from the extension of production in fields where
anthracite is not found. That kind of fuel indeed is used
in iron making in only four States, Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey and Maryland; Pennsylvania being the
home of anthracite, uses it to greater extent than any
other, but even in that State almost as much bituminous
iron as anthracite iron is produced, the proportions being
for 1886 1,710,968 tons of anthracite, 1,565,594 tons of
bituminous and 16,727 tons of charcoal iron. Unlike anthra
cite, however, bituminous coal is found in almost every
section, and in many cases the coal and iron are found
side by side, making the conditions for the manufacture
of iron very favorable. Thus the growth of the iron
industry outside of the four States mentioned has really
been entirely on bituminous coal, and as the heaviest
increases in the future must be expected to occur in the
same sections, more particularly on account of the promi
nence to be assumed by the Southern States, it follows
that iron produced with anthracite as fuel must form a
smaller and smaller percentage of the whole. It should
be said that owing to the wide distribution of the bitumi
nous coal fields, and the proximity of iron ore to them in
many different sections, the possibilities of iron manufac
ture in the United States are virtually without limit.
With reference to the production of the Southern
States, the increase during 1886 has not been very marked.
In view of the great prominence these States have latterly
assumed in the public mind, this may seem surprising, but
as has been truthfully declared 1886 was a year of prepa
ration in the South rather than of realization. To indi
cate what a small proportion of the whole the Southern
States yet hold in the iron production, we have prepared
the following table showing first the output in those
States individually and collectively, and then the output
of all other large producing States.

We see here that notwithstanding the extension of iron
manufacture into so many new fields, Pennsylvania still
retains its pre-eminence. Not only has it gained abso
lutely but also relatively. In 1880, with a total produc

half^ or 2;083,121 tons. In 1886, with a total production
of 6,366,688 tons, it had more than one half, or 3,293,289
tons. It will also be noticed that Western States, like
Ohio and Illinois, have greatly added to their production
and that these rather than Southern States are to be men
tioned for their gains. Indeed, the nine Southern States
together produced only 876,539 tons, while Ohio alone
had 908,094 tons, and even Illinois had 501,795 tons. If
we compare with the 3,293,289 tons of Pennsylvania, the
876,000 total of the Southern States appears still more
diminutive. But the growth of the South has at least
been steady and continuous, only one year since 1880
having failed to record an improvement on its predecessor,
and the 1886 total being more than twice as great as that
of 1880, which was only 397,301 tons. Moreover, it must
always be borne in mind, that owing to the large number of
new furnaces recently erected or now in process of erec
tion, the past offers absolutely no guide to the future. W e
called attention a few weeks •ago to the estimate of
General Willard Warner (a good authority) that in 1888
the three States, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, would
produce no less than 1,500,000 gross tons of iron, equal
to nearly 1,700,000 net tons. The same States in 1886
produced 530,875 tons, so that this allows for an increase
of over a million tons. Even with that increase, however,
the States mentioned will be far behind Pennsylvania with

coal and wages are nearly all higher, and freight charges
are also in many cases greater; but nevertheless the pros
pect points to much larger gains from the business in
1887 than in 1886.
TH E W A R S C A R E I N BELGIU M .
During the last few weeks there have been various
rumors to the effect that the delicate and doubtful rela
tions known to exist between some of the Great Powers
had created a certain amount of uneasiness in Belgium.
While the debate on the German army bill was pending,
it was confidently asserted that the condition of the army
and the defences were exclusively occupying the attention
of the Belgium Government; and subsequently, the excite
ment having evidently somewhat subsided, the Government
was reported to have ordered the Military Department to try
the experiment of a general mobilization of the army instead
of the usual manoeuvres this year. This week it is stated on
authority that King Leopold will send a message to Par
liament showing the necessity of making personal military
service compulsory in Belgium, and of supplying the
means for such a state of defence for the country as the
present condition and future prospect of Continental
affairs make expedient.

There can be no doubt that the fear of Great Britain,
coupled with a dread of disturbing the general Euro
pean peace, had much to do in preventing the late
Emperor of the French from carrying out his purpose
and restoring Belgium to the empire.
It is not
unreasonable to take it for granted that similar reasons
had power with Bismarck. Much would therefore depend
upon the condition of things which might be found to
exist after the war. Sooner or later the smaller states
will be incorporated with their larger neighbours. It
may be the fate of Holland to find it necessary to unite
her destinies with Germany. It may also be the fate of
Belgium to find it necessary to unite her destinies with
France. It is desirable, however, that such unions be
made voluntarily; and that such should be the case, the
smaller Powers do well, for the present, to watch with
care the tendency of events and prepare to guard and
protect their rights.

* This total includes shipments to Canada b y rail, which since Sept. X
in 1886-7, amounted to 24,136 bales, in 1885-6 were 23,913 bales and
in 1884-5 w ere 11,969 bales.
RECEIPTS, EXPORTS AND SPINNERS’ TAKINGS.
Receipts at the ports during the month have been quite
libera], reaching 644,681 bales and exceeding the totals
for January of both 1886 and 1885— the former by
101,288 bales and the latter by 168,926 bales. The total re
ceipts for the five months exhibit an increase of 262,448
bales over the corresponding period of last season, and
262,517' bales over the same time in 1884-85. Exports to
foreign ports „have been of much heavier volume during
January than for the same month of either the two previ
ous years, the shipments for the month of this year being
740,887 bales, while in 1886 they reached 491,505 bales
and two years ago were 548,818 bales. The total for the
season, therefore, exhibits a large excess. Our usual table
of details is given below.

AMOUNT OF CROP NOW IN SIGHT.
In the foregoing we have the number of bales which
has already been marketed this year and the two previous
seasons. An additional fact of interest is the total of the
crop which was in sight on February 1, compared with
previous years. W e reach that point by adding to the
above the stock remaining at that date at the interior
towns, less stock held by them at the beginning of the
season. In this manner we find the result for three years
on February 1 to be as follows :

same time in 1885 and 480-23 lbs. in 1884.
THE COTTON GOODS TRADE IN JANUARY.
The market - for staple cotton goods opened quiet, but
there was a marked improvement in the demand towards
the middle of the month, from which timi until the close
a fairly satisfactory business was transacted by commission
merchants and leading jobbers. Prices of plain and colored
cottons remain very firm because of the limited stocks on
hand, and various makes of brown cottons, corset jeans,
wide sheetings, &c., have been slightly advanced by the
mill agents without materially checking their sale. Print
cloths were in liberal demand, and a substantial advance
in prices was established in the latter part of the month.

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—Between
the war rumors abroad and the Inter-State Commerce bill and
freight-handlers’ strike at home, our markets have still been
kept in a state of uncertainty.
To an on-looker from the American stand-point there really
seems to be so little cause for war in Europe that it is difficult
to get our business men to believe that fighting is at all
imminent. In fact, they are inclined to believe that the recent
war bluster has been almost entirely manufactured in order to
exert an influence on the elections in Germany and secure a
majority in favor of Bismarck’s military bill; some few brokers
whose views of men and things are limited to the market
horizon even venture to insinuate that the distinguished mag
nate above mentioned is short of stocks or long of wheat.
The suspense in regard to the passage of the Inter-State Com
merce bill will no longer hang over the market, and in all proba
bility the freight-handlers’ strike must terminate soon, as
their occupation is not one requiring highly skilled labor, nor
is mid-winter a period when work is abundant and laborers
generally scarce.
Railroad earnings are likely to vary from month to month
now in comparison with last year, and we cannot look for the
Bame uniform increase which was so notable in the compari
sons of 1886 with the preceding year. Railroad building in
the West and South is also progressing rapidly, and the
returns from many roads will include increased mileage as the
year goes on.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2$ to o per cent,
the usual rate to stock brokers being 8@4 per cent; to-day the
rates were 8@4 per cent. Prime commercial paper is quoted
at 4$@5 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a gain in specie of £599,000, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 47-70, against46'97 last week; the discount rate
was reduced from 5 to 4 per cent. The Bank of France gained
750,000 francs in gold and 4,025,000 francs in silver.
The New York Clearing House banks, in their statement of
January 29, showed an increase in surplus reserve of $3,502,075,
the total surplus being $22,298,450, against $18,796,375 the
previous week.
The following table shows the changes from the previous
week and a comparison with the two preceding years in the
averages of the New York Clearing House banks:

Exchange.—Sterling exchange has been rather quiet most of
the week, but rates have been very strong in consequence of
the foreign selling of our stocks and the scarcity of commercial
bills; the latter feature is largely the result of the strike of freight
handlers on the river front, retarding the shipment of mer
chandise on the steamers. The B ink of England rate was re
duced from 5 to 4 per cent, but this had very little effect on
the exchange market. Posted rates to-day are 4 85$ and 4 89
against 4 85 and 4 88$ last Friday.
To-day the rates on actual business were as follows, viz.:
Bankers’ 60 days’ sterling, 4 85 @4 85$; demand, 4 88$ @4 88$.
Cables, 4 89@4 89$
Commercial bills were 4 84 @4 84$;
Continental bills were: Francs, 5 21$@5 21$ and 5 19$@5 20;
reichmarks, 95$@95$ and 95$ @95$; guilders, 40$@40$ and 40$
@40$.

State and Railroad Bonds.—State bonds have had an
active and well-distributed business, though there has been no
special feature to the market, and no class has been conspicu
ous for activity. Virginia 6s deferred close to-day at 15;
Lousiana consol 43 at 8If bid; Tennessee settlement 3s at 78
bid; do. compromise bonds at 75 bid.
Railroad bonds sympathize with the stock market to a great
extent, and as a consequence have been rather unsettled and
irregular, with conspicuous weakness noticeable in a few,
while certain inactive classes remain quite firm. In volume
the business has been moderately active, and a few have shown
special activity, including Erie 2ds, Texas & Pacific Rios and
incomes, N. Y. City & Northern gen. mort. and, in a smaller
degree, Nickle Plate lsts, Denver 4s, Hocking Valley 5s, «fee.
Erie 2ds were quite weak in the early dealings and, after a
partial recovery, somewhat irregular. N. Y. City & Northern
bonds have advanced quite sharply on rumors of a deal in con
nection with New England.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
continues somewhat demoralized and during the past week has
been very much unsettled and lower. The selling has been
quite extensive at times and the market has shown consider
able activity during its weaker periods. The most important
unsettling news has been the foreign cable advices, accompa
nied by considerable selling for foreign account. The war
scare broke out afresh early in the week, causing a sharp fall
on all the Continental bourses, which was communicated to
the London market, and from there to ours. The most
important decline occurred on Tuesday, when the London
sales were large, causing a sharp fall here, and many leading
stocks declined to the lowest point of the year thus far. The
decline was too sharp to last, however, and a recovery took
place in the afternoon, which was continued more or less dur
ing the following day. Thursday saw another decline, but
prices did not go as low as on Tuesday, though the foreign
markets were worse.
The decline has also been assisted by the continuation and
spread of the strike among the different classes of freight
handlers, and tbe varying rumors in connection therewith have
been used to influence prices to some extent. In fact, during
the first two days of the week this was the principal influence
in the market, and caused an unsettled feeling though no
important decline. The Inter-State Commerce bill is still dis
cussed, though it. has been regarded as almost certain that the
President would sign it, and its effects have been largely dis
counted.
The weakest stocks have naturally been those that are the
most dealt in on the foreign markets, and most of these have
been quite active. Louisville & Nashville has been specially
prominent for activity and weakness, touching its lowest point
on Thursday. The weakest points in the market on Tuesday
were Lackawanna, Jersey Central, Reading, Richmond Ter
minal, Western Union and the Vanderbilts. A conspicuous
exception to the prevailing weakness has been furnished in
New England, which has steadily advanced, touching 61f to
day. The cause for this advance is probably to be found in
inside buying and manipulation, and there have been rumors
of some arrangement with New York City & Northern and
with Manhattan, the rise in the bonds of the Northern and the
dealings in Manhattan stock lending a certain probability to
this idea.
To-day, Friday, the foreign cables showed a better tone
abroad, and our stock market was generally firmer; Union
Pacific was an exception, as it sold down to 53$, closing at 54$.

The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
opened much depressed, and in the course of Saturday and
Monday there was a further decline of 6 @ 11 points for this
crop, the summer months showing the most depression, while
the next crop gave way 12@ 14 points. The weakness was due
to the free movement of the crop, strengthening belief in
the larger estimates of the total yield and to the unfavorable
foreign advices, together with sympathy with the depression
in financial circles. But at the lower prices on Monday there
was very heavy buying, not only to cover contracts, but for
the “ bull” account, in the belief that values had touched bottom
and the expectation that the crop movement would at once
compare less favorably with last year; and on Tuesday a
steadier report from Liverpool caused a stronger market
here, though the South continued depressed. On Wednesday
Liverpool was decidedly higher, and our market responded
with a smart advance, which was partly lost in the
later dealings. Yesterday prices sharply declined under the
war-like Continental advices. To-day a dull opening was fol
lowed by a decided advance, the foreign advices being some
what reassuring. Cotton on the spot was quoted l-16c. lower
on Monday, but the decline was recovered on Wednesday,
with a larger business for home consumption. To-day the
market was quiet and unchanged at 9)$c. for middling
uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 742,800
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
2,147 bales, including— for export, 2,147 for consumption,
— for speculation and — in transit. Of the above, — bales
were to arrive. The following are the official quotations for
each day of the past week.

The above statement shows—1. That the total receipts from
the plantations since September 1, 1886, were 4,774,934 bales;
in 1885-86 were 4,688,827 bales; in 1884-85 were 4,471,852 bales.
2. That, although the receipts at the outports the past week
were 130,753 bales, the actual movement from plantations was
only 116,004 bales, the balance being taken from the stocks at
the interior towns. Last year the receipts from the plantations
for the same week were 115,089 bales and for 1885 they were
80,703 bales.
A m o u n t o f C o t t o n i n S i g h t F e b . 4.—In the table below
we give the receipts from plantations in another form, and add
to them the net overland movement to Feb. 1, and also the
takings by Southern spinners to the same date, so as to give
substantially the amount of cotton now in sight.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.

ending Feb. 3,1887, and since Jan. 1, and the same facts for
Business in the wholesale branches of the dry goods trade the corresponding periods are as follows:
was only moderate the past week, the receipts of goods from
the manufacturing districts and from abroad having been
greatly impeded by strikes among the freight handlers
There was for the same reason considerable difficulty at times
in forwarding merchandise from this city to distributing
points in the West and'South, but this was overcome to some
extent by the domestic commission houses, who were enabled
to make liberal shipments direct from the mills. The demand
at first hands was somewhat spasmodic and irregular, buyers
on the spot having manifested a good deal of caution in their
operations, while re-orders were hardly up to expectations.
Owing in a measure to unfavorable weather conditions, the
jobbing trade in the regular way was more or less quiet, but
a satisfactory package business in staple cotton goods, prints,
and some kinds of department goods was accomplished by a
few of the principal jobbers. The most notable event of the
week was an auction sale of domestic silk handkerchiefs and
mufflers, which realized about $90,000. The goods sold low
in some cases, but many lines were so freely duplicated by
the owners that they were evidently satisfied with the prices
obtained.
D o m e s t i c C o t t o n G o o d s . —The exports of domestics from
this port for the week ending Feb. 1 were 5,955 packages, and
the principal shipments were as follows: China 3,555 packages,
British West Indies 400, H tyti 869, Aden 307, Hodeidah 250,
Santo Domingo 188, Venezuela 153, and Central America 120.
The demand for plain and colored cottons was steady, but lees
active than in preceding weeks, and stocks are so well in hand
that prices are uniformly firm all along the line.
Print
cloths were in fair demand and firm on the basis of 3^£c. for 64
x64s and 3@ 3 1-16 for 56x60s. Stocks last Saturday and for
the three previous years were as follows :

wmbiues the protective feature o f life insurance

e
¿d of the period o f taking the endowment in cash
.. of continuing one insurance for a much larger
