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 sidered heavy trucks by ice and snow, by which the difficulty and expense of transportation is greatly increased, and under the most favorable conditions of good weather and abundance of truckage accommodation, the cost of moving freights across the for city IB nearly, if not quite as great cai^al Irom Buffalo. as the cost By what system \ by entire rail or the transpojtatiou of local — — February 8, 1873.

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 There is, besides, iu connection with the Post Otllco Department. a very respectable minority in tha House that will oppose all forma of Government interference with the telegraph on prin- M CoMMERCtAi. Enterpibb IN BOSTON.— The opinloni «oa would stimulate rather than check the commercial progress of Boston, give promise of being fntly realized. Daring the past few months the work of cleariog awa/ the debris and rul^bish from the burnt district has be«n progressing rapidly, plans. and H|>ecincation8 have been made of new buildings, contracts have been concluded for many handsome and costly structures, and bood as the weather will permit building operations will be undertaken on an esteniive scale. No lack of 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, ginal freight railroad, aObrding greatly improved faciUlle* for the transfer of merchandise, without warehousing, between the ter. mini of the railroad lines and all points along tha water front. had just been completed, and the advantage ^thus secured was attended with an important economy in cost of handling both imports and exports. With this, and the advantage of direct communication with the West through the Hoosac Tunnel, now rapidly approaching completion, the trade of Boston must continue in the future to improve, and even more rapidly than fidently expreaaed that the fire m during the past year.

It is quite certain, therefore, that no plan will have an easy victory, and between the conflicting influences there la ground for hope that they may all fall to the ground men of the city.

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 skill in designing and adapting it to serve so great a variety of interests, and all at least as well as any competitors can. Messrs.

This new enterprise forms the coa necting link between the Ithaca & Athens and the Susquehanna branch of the Delaware Si Lackawanna Railroad and the New York Central Railroad.

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 80,273 6,3ii7 15,889 17.88 increast'-d difficult, and helped check the demand from spinners. to future delivery there has been but were about prices -fc. below the : appears that tlie total receipts for the seven days liave reached bales ajiainst 114,616 bales last week, 135,493 bales the previous week and 13C,22.5 bales three weeks since, making the total receipts since the first of September, 1873, 2,379,836 baies against 3,003,0.53 bales for the same period of 1871-72, showing an increase since September 1, 1872, of 876,773 bales.

THE CHEONICLK i'ebruary 8, 1873,] 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 position and influence of the factors who hold the stock of actual which r.rs cotton in the market are always against thera. demand 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 arrayed in resistance to thera. In tlie long course, the odds for tliey are greater than the odds this reason alone are heavy the is artificial ; against the mau who plays against tho bank at laro or rouge-et- noir. 2. - Year ending Dee. 191 Import. halo. 73«' 81.

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. — Hamburg Cotton Movement for 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 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^ : : . THE CHRONICLE. 194 the close of last week.

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 in considerable variety, not only in solid checks but in fancies, with gray and chene effects, some of which are very desirable There was a sustained demand for some descriptions of French and Eni^jlish cassimeres and suitings, but there was no noticeable degree of activity in these goods.
