but in regard to the general stock market, the fact that prices
were high in December, and that the leading stock operators
were not decidedly interested in an advance, were very important
influences against an active upward movement.

Foreign exchange was tolerably active in January, and ranged
between 109J and 109f for prime 60 days' sterling. There were
some borrowed bills placed on the market, at times, bj' stock
operators, and on the other hand some considerable amounts of
borrowed 60 days' bills fell due, creating a demand for short
sight.

It is to

be

hoped that our merchants and forwarders who have suffered such
a serious interruption during the past few weeks from the almost
impassable condition of our streets, will recognize the importance
of organizing a movement looking to the adoption of some

system that shall insure cheaper and better facilities for the handof merchandise within the city limits.
Several years ago we pointed out in these columns the important
benefits that would result to our commerce from the construction
of a tunnel around, and several tunnels across the city, with
brancbea connecting with the principal freight depots built, or to
be built, in the upper part of the island, and urged that the con.
struction of a belt tunnel just inside the new bulkhead line be
made a part of the plan for the improvement of our water fronts
but those who were most interested did not move in the matter,
and an opportunity for undertaking such a work, better than any
which will again offer, was lost. The necessity for some such
improvement, however, becomes each year more apparent to those
who deal in heavy and bulky merchandise, and it is not yet too
late for our merchants to take tlie initiative in some well conling and transportation

;

movement in the direction we have indicated During a
part of every winter our streets are rendered almost impassable

heavy trucks by ice and snow, by which the difficulty and
expense of transportation is greatly increased, and under the

Postal Temwraphy in CoNonESR. The fact that the State
Senate of Pennsylvania has adopted, by a vote of 25 to 1, a resolution instructing the United Stales Senators from that State to
vote agaiuBt any legislaiioa looking to the purchase or control of
the telegraph by the Government, may be regarded as a fair indication of the tone of public opinion regarding tbe several schemes
of that kind now before ('ongress. It would be well if other
States should follow this good example, and declare immediately
against all forms of Federal interference with private enterprise.
But in the absence of any such action, it is gratifying to hear that
in this case the lobby influence io likely to so divide the House of
Representatives that there is but little chance of passing any of
the bills now awaiting consideration. Each scheme has some
friends who will labor zealously to secure its adoption, but whichever meets with most favor will bo sure to encounter a powerful
and united opposition. It is also understood that there is a wide
difference of opinion between the Post Office Department and tlie
committee having the matter in charge— the Postmaster General
wanting the Government to buy the lines and turn them over to
the Department to manage and operate iu conuectlou with the
Post OfBce, while the committee are in favor of what is known as
the Hubbard scheme, which incorporates a new company and
gives it a monopoly of the telegraph business, under a nominal
supervision from the Postmaster General. In the one case the
change would enormously increase the patronage of the Government, and create a great many lucrative offices to be filled by
in the other it
those for whom places cannot now be found
would be a great private "job," the only patronage attaching to
which would be the creation of a small and unimportant bureau

Daring the past few months the work of cleariog awa/

buildings, contracts have been concluded for many handsome and
costly structures, and
bood as the weather will permit building

capital ia complained of, and it la thought that abundant work
and high wages will attract from other points all the skilled labor
that may be needed. Daring the paat few years the people tt
Boston have mnnifested a great deal of well directed commercial
enterprise, and at no time in the history of that city were they lo
well able to compete for trade as just before the fire. A mar,

St. Louis & Southeastern. This company has its bonds in the
market to obtain money to make ceefain improvements, additions
to equipment and a short new line, which may reasonably be expected to very much increase the earning capacity and the traffic
Tlie position of
of a line now doing better than most new roads.
the line is somewhat peculiar, inasmuch as. being a through and
very direct line (the shortest) between St. liOuis and Nashville,
that is a northwest and southeast line, nearly one half of the road
forms a section of the shortest line (almost an air line) between
Chicago and Nashville, that is, due north and south and, at the
same time, a large part of the existing line east of St. Louis will
make part of a Btraigjvt east and west line between Louisville
and St, Louis. The impro»;ements whicli the new loan will enable the company to make will put the road in condition to do
this business with great convenience to shippers and economy to
itself.
The line has exceptionally good prospects, due largely to

The market ha» been very dull and depressed tlie past week,
and although closing with a steadier tone, and in fact showing
some reaction, there is a decline for the week of Jc. for cotton on
the spot, and l-16@ic. for future delivery, the greatest decline being
for the early and the smallest for the later months.
The causes
of the downward turn have been various but most conspicuous
among them has been the dullness and depression at Liverpool
aud Manchester. This has been a great disappointment to shipper?, who seoin to have believed that the comparatively small
stocks of American cotton in foreign markets and the lirninesa of
prices in this and other home markets would at least have the effect
of holding Liverpool steady, even if thdt market did not advance.
The liberal receipts at our ports, however, especially the early
part of the week, was probably the immediate ciuse of tho
depression at Liverpool, aud the downward turn there reacted upi:n
;

market, rfsulting in a loss of speculative confidence and
offerings of lots held on speculation. Snow in the
streets andjice in the harbor and sound have rendered shipments

THE CHEONICLK

FuTCTRB Delivery Contbacts.— It strikes as that a word of
caution to buyers of future cotton will not be out of i)lacn at tho
present time, for evidently there are laws of thia now trade
not reirarded by very many of this class of operators.
1. They seem to forgot, or they disreifard the fact, that the

Wlivn trade

about equal to the existing supply of cotton in hand,
demand in the latter part of a month to cover contracts, gives to factors an opportunity by which they profit, and
their whole interest is on tlieside of tho bulls.
Should it happen,
as it has not yet this season, thai a subsidence of trade demand
concurring wiih large arrivals of cotton, puts an excessive supply
on tho market in any month, that would bo tho opportunity for
deprassion sought by tlio bears ; but then, the factors are all

Bombay Bhipmbnth. — According
.

to ourcabI« diiip«tcb received
there have been 19,000 bales shipped from Bombay to Qroat
Britain the past week and 5,000 bales to the continent, while tba
receipts at Bombay, during the same time have been 31,(»0
bales.
The movement since the first of January it
follom.
These are the figures of W. Nicol & Co., of Bombay, and are
to-t^ay,

The bears seem

—that

it

is

thoy

to ignore

who

another fact of greater importance
sti':k with whicli they are

furnish the

beaten, tlio strengtli of their adversaries. In any current month,
without their necessity to cover " shorts," the local market would
be subject to the ordinary infiuonces of the trade for fixing the
Adding that necessity to the extent perhaps of twice
prices.
tho stock in market, puts it in tho power of the bulls and the
co-operating factors to fix their own prices for settlement. That
power has no limit otlierthan tho interest of those who hold it,
which interest forbids the bulls to carry the price so higli as to
make them owners of '-he cotton stock. Month after mouth the
same thing is repeated with the same result. Even if the bears
have crop advices, weekly receipts, the statistics of consutnption,
and every otlisr theoretical point in their favor all the early part
of the month, as settling day approaches, all those must go for
nothing against the immediate fact that there is not and cannot
be in the market enough cotton to meet this artificially doubled
and quadrupled demand.
3. Now, we suggest as a relief to tlia situation, that the.>!e
bearisli people, while indulging in tUeir speculative propensity,
and following their own view of future prices, continue to make
contract8|if they so desire, but none to mature witliin two montbs
and as tlie progress of time shall carry them one month nearer to
the maturity of a contract, proceed at once to cover it with the
purchase of another of even maturity or of actual cotton. It
would, indeed, reduce tbo speculative chances, especially the
bears' chances of loss, for it would divest tho market in each
current month of all uncovered shorts, leaving the prices to be
adjusted as in old times by trade proper, yet giving to each
operator tlie full benefit of hjssupurior forecast of coming months.
It would kill the heavy odds that run against the bears and in
favor of the bulls now, and the influence of crop prospects, consumption, money market, &c., would be felt again on current
prices, no longer under the effect of the simple folly of the bears.
Manufacturers, exporters, and regular dealers in cotton would be
pleased to have restored the normal condition of markets, and to
escape the capricious changes of one oversold or overbought.
Solomon said something of the result of braying a fool in a
mortar, and of both answering and of not answering a fool according to his folly. It may be vain to reason with men who con-

tinually set a trap for themselves. Yet, possibly, not all tho
bears are so inlatuated as to persist in being gor«d every month
when they see how almost inevitably they must fail to squeeze
the bulls without iirst accumulating an overloading stock of
cotton.

From the foregoing it would appear that compared with last
fear there is an increase this year in the week's ibipmeDbi to ') reat
Britain of 13,000 bales, and that the total movement aince Jnn. 1
shows a decrease in shipments of 63,000 bales over the eorresoonding period of 1872.

The market

opening of the week was extremely quiet, and there was
a natural disposition among buyers to look for easier rates. Brokers were
Inclined to regard the market as a shade off. although the quotable range
was not altered. Toward the bitter part of the week a slightly improved call
from Invoice purchasers developed the fact that holders were Arm at prevloai
rates, and that no concessions could be obtained. The Rio telegram, which
was received on Wednesday, was of a very firm tenor, and had a strengthening effect upon our market. The quotations were chiefly 9$8O0, though two of
the telegrams quoted 10(200. The latter price, however. Is thought to refer to
a grade of coffee rather above the average classlflcatlon of " American lota."
The purchases reported for the United States were rather heavy, but as they
were made chiefly by heavy American houses their effect Is rather beneficial
to our market, since they are taken as Indicating a feeling among boyers In
Rio thatt the market there will go higher. The India grades sre nearly sold
out of first bauds, and the small supplies remaining are held with firmness. Some large transactions have been closed In West India grades from
first bands, and prices are
unchanged and fully sustained. The sales

The week opened with a limited

call

from refiners, but tranractlons were
and by the middle of the week

too light to give firmness to the market,

holders of refining sugars had conceded fully another eighth In bnyer's favor.
This reduction iu rates had a tendency to Increase the dcmaud from reisers

and a few of the heaviest users of centrifugals became fairly liberal operaAt the new baals of quotations—8<[^@9c. for fslr to good Caba—the
tors.
market shows more steadiness, and doses with a moderate call. The Uansactious are mainly of centrifugal sugars only a few small lots of other descriptions having been moved. The new arrivals have been nearly all tahen
up by the refining demand, and the week clo'es with reduced stocks. At the
same time refluera are poorly supplied either with refined grades or raws, and
with the Improvement in the trade demand which Is looked for at an early day
there would be a necessary Improvement In the demand for refining. These
Acts combine to strengthen the swrket, and the tone Is rather better than s^

Cuba has run down to 1,801 hhds. including no Muscovado grocery, quotations
for which we omit. The trade demand has been fair, and some, small lots of
Porto Eico and English Islands have been placed. The call is mainly, however,
for domestic qualities and the better grades of these have taken an upward tnrn.
Choice New Orleans has been sold as high as 77 cts. in lots, and a sale at auction, brought 76 cts.
Syrups continue in good request with liberal sales lo the
south. The low grades are now well sold out, and there is very little stock offering under 40 cts. Sugar house molasses is held in reduced supply and the
sales here are necessarily small. The prices remain 18® 39c. for hhds., and
23c. for bbls.

Manufacturers are endeavoring to reduce the production
woolen fabrics, but have not succeeded in effecting any concerted movement. There is some demand for faced woolens
at steady prices. American dress fabrics have opened with a
good degree of activity, and these goods are selling more satisfactorily than any other class of woolens.
Foreign Goods. Jobbing sales are small in imported goods
the selections being restricted to a few staple lines. From fiist
hands the trade has been more liberal, and the market rules
buoyant throughout. The distribution of dress fabrics, alpacas
and mohairs from first hands was somewliat better, and there was
some inquiry for 1,400 and 1,600 Scotch ginghams, which appear

There was a sustained demand for some descriptions of French

degree of activity in these goods. Linens were generally quieti
