FOREIGN CAPITAL AND THIS SPRING TRADE.
The peace rumors

from Europe have some influence in
cheeking the movements towards monetary ease which have
been developing of late.
The argument is that we have a
vast amount of foreign capital which, on the return of peace
in Europe, would be attracted thither; and as this capital is
now in active use in our monetary transactions, its
sudden
withdrawal would deplete the reservoir of the loan market,
and could scarcely fail to occasion temporary disturbance.
There is some plausibility in this reasoning.
But its chief
force depends on the suddenness of the anticipated draw
upon us.
If peace could be established without delay, and
if the immediate result

during and since the war, the conver¬
sion of floating capital into fixed capital has gone on so rap-.
i^!v as to bring us at several critical conjunctures to the
very verge of a great financial convulsion.
Thirdly, so
great has been our recuperative strength, so rapid our mate¬
rial growth, go active our wealth-producing forces, and so
rich our sources of industrial and commercial prosperity,
that, notwithstanding our defective financial system, we
have always passed each crisis with less of disaster than the
most sanguine observer might reasonably have looked for.
Fourthly, it has often been pointed out that the disastrous
European conflict whigh has destroyed the work of centuries
and kindled among kindred nations the fires of hate and
terror and fury, which may be quenched in the blood of
peoples yet unborn, there has been for us a compensative
advantage. Transatlantic wars have not seldom been of use
to this country.
And now, as heretofore, one of these benefits has been that capital has flowed this way, and has come
to us seeking safe investment at the very time when floating
capital was to us the most urgent demand, the
most
imperative want, ; the
resistless, dominating
condition of our prosperity and solvency and progress.
The vast accumulation of foreign capital w hich has invested
itself here during the last six months has of course produced
some evil as well as much good.
To it wre owe in part that
derangement of the foreign exchanges w hich, in combination
with other forces, has tended to depress inordinately the
price of gold ; and to it is due the apprehension w hich is

It is

objected to the dividend thus declared that it is not in con¬
formity with the terms of the indenture or deed of trust creating
preferred stock, the wrords of. which are as follows :

And said Corporation covenants and agrees that said preferred stock shall he
entitled to a dividend of seven per cent, from the net earnings of said road, in
each year, whenever a dividend of said net earnings shall he made, before any
dividend shall be declared upon oilier unpreferred shares of the said Corpora¬
tion. And to an equal dividend with said other shares, in the net earnings of
said Corporation, beyond said seven per cent., but shall at no
to an accumulated dividend (in case a dividend shall fail to be made in any one
years, or. if made, be insufficient to pay said seven per cent) in any
subsequent division of said net earnings, but shall be entitled only, in that
event, to said seven per cent and to share in the surplus earnings as aforesaid;
and furthur said Corporation covenants and agrees that dividends of said net
earnings shall he made at least annually, if the profits of the Corporation will
permit, after applying such sums as shall he found proper to maintain the road
and provide for working the same to the best advantage:

of the year is important.
A third objection is made that while the dividend, amounting
to $552,489, was declared out of earnings for the six months ending
July 1st, 1870, the net earnings for the whole year ending August
31st, 1870, as shown by the annual report were only $268,398.
Second—In the second place, Mr. Bailey criticises the manage¬
ment of the company’s affairs, and charges, substantially, that the
directors have not shown integrity in their official position, but
have really been working the road for the benefit of other con- ,
necting lines in which they have a greater interest. In support of
this position it is alleged that five directors, constituting a con¬
trolling majority of the board, held altogether (as shown by the.
stock registers at the election) only 121 shares of stock out of
92,031 shares, the total capital; that the building of the Kansas
City and Cameron branch and the Quincy and Palmyra
were bad investments for the Hannibal and St. Joseph company >

that dividends must be
declared in accordance with the indenture or trust deed creating
the stock.
The Directors on the other hand refer to a circular
containing a plan of re-organization, &c., which was circulated
among stockholders and signed by a majority of them beiore the
indenture was made, and intimate that the terms of this circular
should govern the declaration of dividends, as the indenture was
intended to contain the same provisions. Whether the proposals
thus circulated and signed, or the trust deed subsequently exe¬
cuted, shall control, is a question for the courts to.decide. There
is however, one curious point to be noticed here, namely, that
both parties claim that the words in the certificates of preferred
stock favor their construction. Those words are that their hold¬

upon the placing of a comma.
Second: In regard to the general assertions made against the man¬

years past is the proper answer to be made by a board of directors ;

has not been, in months, a more

stagnant market, so far as the volume of business is concerned,

some transactions have been made with the anticipation of a rise
in the price on the surrender of Paris, in consequence of a demand
for export. On Tuesday there was hut one price made during the

day_110j—an event which it is said has only occurred once before
since the formation of the Board. At the Treasury sale of
$1,000,000 on Thursday, bids were made to the large amount of
$8,120,500, which is accounted for by the desire of the banks to

running 23 years, was terminated last week by the pay
$200,000 by the first named road to the two others—the
forfeiting of that sum being the terms upon which either party,
according to the contract, could end the lease. The lessees have
paid 6 per cent, in gold for the property, and at that rate have
netted a half million dollars from the property leased.
They de¬
sire a new lease, but the Portland, Saco & Portsmouth Company
will demand as rental 10 or 12 per cent, on their capital of $lr
500,000. Ex Gov. Goodwin, of Portsmouth, has been the President

in the chair. Over 80.000
The report of the Committee upon the
history and management of the road, says the books of the Com¬
pany had been loosely kept, but the condition for four years is
about as follows : Receipts from the main line, from $1,500,000 to
$1,600,000 per annum ; expenses, $1,000,000; the lease lines cause
a loss of $100,000 a year.
Total liabilities, $15,200,000. The Com¬
mittee made a comparison with the condition four years ago, un
favorable to the late management. The leased lines are found to
be quite unfortunate ventures, as they require much of the equip,
that was required on
ment
the main line,^ and some of
them were built on the credit of the company.
The Directors
recommend cancelling of these leases by negotiation or by
legal means. The report was ordered to be printed and sent to the
stockholders.

Receipts and Crop.—The receipts continue to come in so
freely, both at the out ports and the interior ports, that the smaller
estimates of the crop have been pretty generally abandoned, and
very few now could be found who would put the total below

We have estimated the

weight of bales at 400 pounds against
,386 pounds, the average during 1870, because of the larger pro¬
portion of American to be used this year. In the above then, we
have an increased consumption during the year of 286,050 bales,
arising simply from changing the average size of yarn spun from
No. 36 to No. 34.
These figures are of no little interest as illus¬
trating one point in the problem of Great Britain’s capacity of
consumption when prices are low enough to make a demand’for
the clothes spun. Of course the lower the price of cotton the
coarser the average clotji produced, as the new demand comes
from the poorer classes.

heading has been quiet since the date of our last, and prices,

Our telegram from Selma again states that the warehouses are overcrowded,
and the receipts, stocks and exports have not been made up to-night, and the
figures we give, therefore, for that port are only an approximation.
These totals show that the interior stocks have increased during
the week 11,064 bales (being now 30,203 bales more than for the
same period of last year), while the aggregate receipts are 28,211
bales more, and the shipments 14,142 bales more than for die
corresponding period of 1869.

To-day there was a partial re¬
covery of tone, and some 90,000 bushels new No. 2 Spring were
taken on speculation for Western account at $1 54@$1 55 in store
and afloat.
The West has been excited, and No. 2 Spring at Chi¬
cago has touched $1 30, receding yesterday to $1 24, and recover¬
ing to-day to $1 28, but closing weak. There are some operators
wrho buy here and sell there, because Chicago is so far above us.
Corn has advanced.
There has been a fair amount of export
orders, but they have been mostly filled writh Southern white,
here and to arrive, at 92 a93c.
Receipts of Western continue
small, but the obstructions to transportation caused by snow in the
streets and ice in the harbor, limits the demand for home use.
Oats have been in speculative request, but with no export demand,
and the local trade reduced to smallest quantities ; the close is
dull.
Rye, barley and barley malt, though firm, have ruled com¬
paratively quiet.

changes in the general position of the market. Invoices sell
slowly, not because there is an absence of demand, but in view of the fact that
everything deliverable here or to arrive has already found a market, or is held
so high as to exceed all present limits, and owners assert the utmost confidence
in the future ignoring all bids failing to approximate within a slight fraction
of their views. The distributive dealers are not quite so busy, but still find
trade pretty sharp and buyers willing to pay full prices, though the good quali¬
ties are in all cases called for. The increased supply of Cassia noted last week
modified extreme figures somewhat, but brought about no positive decline, and
this is about the only case where buyers may be said to have gained the slightest
advantage. At Boston business is very good at full prices. We learn of recent

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Friday, P. M., January 27, 1S71.

The inclement weather which has prevailed
during the week
has prevented the few buyers who are in the city from
canvassing
the market to any extent, and transactions have been limited in
consequence.
The market is becoming more active, however, in a
general way, and as the supply of all classes of goods has been
greatly increased an increase in the movements duringthe ensuing
week is likely, should tlie weather
prove more favorable.
The
number of out-of-town buyers in the market is still
small, but re
ports from various localities in the interior are to tlie effect that
dealers are preparing to stock up for the ensuing season’s
trade
and many are already en route to this and other Eastern markets

probable that the general trade from first hands will improve
greatly after the 1st prox., and jobbers will, it is thought, be doing
a fair business by the middle of the month.
The prospects for an
active demand from retailers before the latter part of February are
not considered very encouraging, and a majority of our dealers
seem to be ot the opinion that this trade will begin this season
two or three weeks later than usual.
The retail trade in the city and elsewhere is said to be fair for
this season of the year, but is, of course, not very active.
The
financial condition of the trade generally remains very satisfac¬
tory and collections are coming forward promptly. No notewor¬

Goods.—The market for all classes of cotton
fabrics is buoyant, though the movements during the past week
have not been very heavy. The excitement in brown and bleached
goods, consequent upon the rumors of an inadequate supply has
stimulated the inquiry for these goods, and many buyers, who are
not ready to visit the market for their spring stocks have sent in
orders for staple goods, in anticipation of their future wants.
Prices seem rather more settled, except in a few makes of fine 4-4
bleached goods, and there are fewer rumors of an advance. There
is, however, much firmness, and prices on the entire list are with,
out quotable change with the exception of Allendale wide goods
which are off about lc.

prices remain as heretofore. Colored cottons are without especial
animation, though denims are moving rather more freely, and the
general trade is fully equal to that usual at this period. Prints
are in good request, with 1 *rger sales as the assortments ot me¬
dium and light work are increased.
