been so severe as to involve the manufacturers in embarrassing
losses and not unfrequently even in bankruptcy. This ine¬

The

In monetary circles, also, there has been a
general improvement. The extreme sensitiveness of credit, and the

have disappeared, and call loan3 have ranged steady at 6@7 per

Foieign exchange has been unexpectedly firm. For the greater
part of the month rates have ruled over the specie shipping point;
but at the (dose there was a
slight yielding in quotations. The low
price realised upon our exports of cotton, and the check upon our
shipments of produce through the premature closiug of the canals,
with several million bushels of grain in the
boats, have caused the
supply of bills to fall below the wants of remitters, which have been
upou quite a liberal scale.

of the pre?ent week commenced with the publi¬
cation of a report from the directors of the Midland Railway Company,,
in which they stated that, in order to complete the various lines in which'
culations.

The panic

engaged, the sum of £5,000,000 would eventually be
required. The directors further observed that they had made a great
miscalculation as regards the cost of bringing their lines into Loudon,
and that to complete it the sum of £3,750,000 must be raised.
This
report caused much uneasiness to prevail, and as the “ bears” operated
to a very large extent, the fall in pricee was very heavy.
This depres¬
sion at once extended to all discretions of railway shares, and on Thurs¬
1 day eveniDg, under the influf nee of the announcement that the London
and Brighlou directors had issued a report that they would require
£1,000,000 addilional share capital, and that the Caledonian railway
!
was in want of nearly £2,000,000, the maximum point of depression
seemed to have been attained, and since then,owing to the circumstance
that the “ bears” have he«n closing their accounts previously to their tier
parture for the Christmus holidays, there has been a alight reaction..

considerable. Your readeis are well aware that ever since the failure
of Overend, Gurney & Co., the position of the various railway companies
has been extremely perplexing. The faculties given prior to the great
crisis for raising money had led man7 directors, who appear to have
teen urged on, partly in their own interests, but chiefly by contractors
and engineers, to construct fresh lines, as branches of the main andorig
inal undertaking. These new lines have, in many cases, proved a bur.
den, and have involved the shareholders in enormous sacrifices. The
London, Chatham and Dover (in which Sir Morton Pato was one of the
chief moving spirits), the London and Brighton, the Southeastern, the
Midland, the Northeastern, and the Caledonian have all been reckless
in the construction of new lines, and the directors of these companies

the shareholders becomes manifest) how erroneous have been their cal¬

any previous period this season.
New Mess selling for
February at $22 25. Bacon is also very unsettled—the de¬
demand for shipment has improved, but holders have advanced
their prices so much as to restrict business. Cumberland

much dispute about the Liverpool quotation ; holders assert¬

the execution of orders here. Lard is doing rather better.
At the West, the markets are reported in a very unsatisfac¬
tory state, and it is remarked that the decline in gold, the
continued large receipts of hogs at the leading packing places,
and the total absence of demand of importance for the pro¬
duct, have pretty much blocked the business, and the regular
packers have generally withdrawn. Having invested their
capital and their credit in pork, they now find that they are
compelled to hold almost the entire stock cured, there being
demand for the product, so that the question of a long or
short supply is but a secondary consideration, because in

in weighing each cargo, by the substitution of a single span towingpath bridge in place of the present one, so that boats could be towed in

Havana, Dec. 28tli—Sugar (Clayed).—The Christmas festivities,

together with the

causes

referred to iu

our

previous issues have kept

the market in a very dull condition, and for the few sales which have
been effected this week 7f@8rs. per arrobe for No. 12 as a basis, has
been the price paid for good.or new sugar.
No further engagements for future delivery of this class have been

reported since our last. The receipts from the country are steadily
increasing as the continuance of dry weather keeps the roads in a pro¬
pitious condition, and we may therefore have a sufficient stock at mar
ket for operations on a larger scale than presently, after the New Year

holidays




are over.
