prevented the usual discussion of-the debt state¬
ment, which offers several points of suggestive interest.
In the first place, the decrease of the debt is smaller than in
any previous month since Mr. Boutwell took office. This
is a concession to the popular demand that our tax-paying
citizens should not be weighed down by the pressure of
needless fiscal burdens, but that the policy should cease of
taking active money out of the pockets of the people, with the
view to pay a government debt which will not mature for
many years to come, and which the creditors do not want
paid. The old argument is exploded that we are to cripple

pleaded by Mr. McCulloch, when his
spasmodic, ill-timed efforts at contraction threw the money

Mr. Boutwell says he has heavy
claims to meet before long, and must keep his cash locked
up ready to pay them. We believe the Treasury had just
as
heavy claims at this time last year. Every one of these
claims was paid.
And yet the currency balance then in
the Treasury was but 12 millions, while now it has just
been swelled, mischievously and without reason, to 30
millions. Three weeks ago Mr. Boutwell could have safely
let out 20 millions of this currency.

recent occasion some of the ways in which this could have
been done, lie has not wanted the currency, for it is still

industrial growth—all were suffering from the ill timed
contraction.

It is, indeed, one of the redeeming features
of the erratic manoeuvres the “ Erie men,” that they check¬
mated the Commodore in 1868, when he seemed surest of
success in his scheme of amalgamating the Erie and Central
roads, and that these victorious Erie champions have ever
since kept tho baffled Commodore at bay.
Much of the
popularity, which, in spite of their misdoings, the Erie
clique have undoubtedly enjoyed, was founded on this fact,
that the public regarded their fight as made for the destruc¬
tion of a scheme by which Mr. Vanderbilt would have stopped
healthy competition in transportation, and raised up a gigan¬
tic railroad monopoly, hostile to the public, destructive to
commerce, and interested only in getting the greatest pos¬
sible gains and rendering the least possible service in return.

equity, should not be as free to put its own nominal valua¬
tion on its road as is the owner of a house to set upon it

valuation without let or hinderance. If a railroad
company water its stock beyond its power to pay dividends
then the price will fall in the market, and like the Erie
shares three years ago, it may sink to an almost nominal
price. The fear of such a catastrophe is one of the best
preventives which is possible in a free country like our own.
Another check on this over-abundant enlargement of the

raging in France, and when the larger portion
withdrawn from industry, the country whose pro¬
ductive power in manufactured goods is the greatest, and which,
besides enjoying peace, has an unprecedented abundance of unem¬
ployed money, should derive very considerable benefit. The
nts
of France and Germany, sitting aside those for war material, required,
in many cases, to be supplied immediately, and consequently the mo¬
ment a deficiency of manufactured goo , such as blankets, and
material for tents, &c., is experienced, our market is resorted to supply
it. But this is the least important part, for if France and Germany
are unable to supply all their own wants, it is obvious that their export
trade in manufactures must leak, and that the portion of foreign trade
which could in times of peace be undertaken by them would be
diverted to this country. Hence, buyers from many foreign countries,
such as the United States, India, China and other countries, have been
more numerous of late, and a somewhat rapid demunition of stocks
has, in several instances, taken place.
It is, perhaps, difficult to form
opinion about the future, for dear food, which is almost a moral cer¬
tainty, must tend to diminish the inquiry for manufactured goods ; tut
at the same time, the wants of the belligerent powers, after peace is
concluded, will be so great that those who will be able to meet them
must be largely engaged.
Then there is the uncertainty about the

Owing to the approaching close of the year, the continuance of the
war, and the superabundance of wet, which has naturally affected the
samples, combined with the circumstances that foreign produce is com
ing freely to market, the trade in wheat has been very slow, and even
for dry samples prices have slightly receded. Feeding stuffs, how¬
ever, continue firm in value, and the recent rise iu the value of meat
and provisions has been fully maintained.

produce into and from the United Kingdom during last week and since

come before them, aud prices to-day have lost some of the irregu¬
larity which prevailed since Tuesday. The tendency, compared with the prices
current last Friday, is still in favor of buyers, but compared with the rates of
Wednesday and yesterday prices are no lower. Producers, upon the whole, are
very well sold, having anticipated a decline in the value of cotton, and con¬
tracted for both yarn and cloth for delivery well into January. Hitherto antici¬
pations of peace have induced them to go on buying cotton freely in Liverpool,
but the cotton market is so freely supplied that prices are barely maintained in
the face of a large business going on daily. The prevailing impression is that
cotton must inevitably decline, but that the demand for yarn and cloth is suffi¬
ciently good to prevent a decline in manufactures in the same proportion. In
fact, to give producers any chance of doing good yarn and cloth ought to main¬
tain their present prices, and the raw material go down %d. to Id. per pound.
There has been a fair demand for export yains during the week, and spinners
have had no difficulty in selling at a slight decline when they could deliver

U. S. Bonds.—The Bond market has not maintained the firmer
feeling noted last week. The Treasury purchases of bonds for
the month of January, although $6,000,000 against $4,000,000 in.
December, are not so large as some recent speculative buyers had
expected, and this disappointment has caused the sale of some
round amounts. There has been a good counter demand, and the
amounts coming from investors have not been large ; nor was the
amount offered at the Treasury purchases, being only $3,237,850
against proposals to purchase $2,000,000, so that it is difficult to
explain the workings except from the disappointment as to the
months’ purchases by the Government. The highest quotations
were made on Tuesday, from wrhicli there has been a decline sub¬
sequently of

Later, however,

there being no symptoms of artificial manipulation, and the money
disbursed in the payment of dividends having begun to return
into the banks, and there has been an easier feeling. To-day, at the
close of business, there was no difficulty in borrowing on good

collaterals at 6@7 per cent; from which it is concluded that the
pressure has passed its climax. The Treasury has partially con
tribnted to this improved feeling by purchasing this week $2,000,000 of Five Twentieg, in lieu of $1,000,000, the late weekly amount,
and by making its purchase of bonds before selling its gold;
the reverse course, hitherto adopted, having had the inconve¬
nience of depriving the banks of so much currency for one day,
which this order of the operations obviates. It is ascertained that
the money lately locked up by street operators has been again put
in circulation, from which it is inferred that their interference with
the money market has been permanently abandoned.
There has been less demand for currency from the West and

the South, and

although the Western receipts of hogs are large,

yet there is little probability that any further important amounts
of currency will be called for in connection with that movement.

will be seen from
the subjoined quotations.
There is little disposition at present to
either buy or sell, as the prospects of the market and opinion
differs considerably as to the future course of the premium, though
perhaps the feeing predominates in favor of an ultimate rise. We
hear of some considerable transactions in the way of “ puts” and
calls,” which will lay the basis fer an ultimate active state of
the market. The payments of interest by the Treasury have no
perceptible effect on the premium, having been previously calcu¬
lated upon.
The Treasury programme for the month includes
sales of $4,000,000 of coin, same as in December.
For carry
ing gold, the rates to-day have been 6@7 per cent.
The following table will show the course of the gold premium
each day of the past week:

also the total

opening week of a New Year is usually a quiet one, and
the past has been no exception to the rule. Trade has been
only fair, and yet for many leading staples we notice an
advance in prices. A return of ease in the money market
seems to be anticipated, and stocks on hand are
not of any
article so large as to be oppressive.

Groceries have been quiet, except a considerable movement
in Rio Coffee.
Tobacco has been fairly active, and very firm ; Kentucky
Leaf has sold to the extent of 400 hhds., almost all for home

being taken by cutters and dealers, prices ranging from
for low to fine leaf; lugs have become compara¬

Pennsylvania, at 16c., 16 do. Ohio, at 19c., and 100 cases
Connecticut and Massachusetts wrappers, at 30@60c. Span¬
ish tobacco has been very quiet at 85@105c. for Havana.
Manufactured tobacco has been in demand for export, and

terms ;

the improved tone of crude tobacco
but no particulars of business done are reported.
’
In Provisions we notice a material recovery of tone and
prices for hog products. The vastly increased export in
December, and the continued large European demand have
revived the confidence of holders. New Mess Pork closed at
$20 on the spot and for future delivery; prime mess $20 50
Lard 12J@12fc. for prime steam on the spot and for future
delivery. Bacon 10£c. for Western long clear. Beef quiet
and unchanged. Butter and Cheese dull and rather weak.
Naval Stores have been fairly active, but Rosin closes
quiet at $2 30 for strained, but Spirits Turpentine had
a
pretty brisk sale to-day at 49@49£c. Oils have been quiet.
Petroleum has been working upward, especially refined^
which has been relatively lower than crude, and closes at 24c.
Whiskey declined to 91c. Hops are dull. Hay scarce and
firm. Hides at a slight decline are more active; late sales
include dry Buenos Ayres, 25fc., gold; dry Texas, 2l£c.,
currency and city slaughter 10@10£c., currency. Leather
is doing fairly. Tallow has been more active, nearly half a
million pounds selling to-day at 8£@9c. Metals and East
India Goods are without important feature. Wool has been
in fair request and firm. Freights closed dull; many vessels
are over due; the speculation in Breadstuffs checks shiDments, and export orders for Cotton are reduced.

Gunny Bags, Bagging, &c.—Cloth continues very dull and
heavy, and without a bottom to prices. The nominal quotation is
20c., but no sales can be made even at that figure ; holders are
becoming tired waiting for the long-talked of demand, and we
have no doubt but that an order for a round lot at 18c., could be
filled. Bags have not sold except in a jobbing way, but they are
firmly held at l8£c., currency, d. p., and ll|c„ gold, in bond.
Hemp has ruled quiet since onr last report, the last sales of Manila
were at 12c., gold, which is nominally the present price ; a lot of
850 bales Italian sold on private terms. Sisol is quoted at 10£@
11c., gold, and Tampico, 7£c., gold, in bond. Jute is rather quiet,
the supply in the hands of manufacturers is said to be small, and
holders ask full and firm prices; we quote at 51@6£c., gold. Jute

falling off of 4,777,900 bushels, but in opposition to the natural
figures, it is urged that prices are much higher
now than then, and that the superior quality of the wheat now in
store causes it to yield more flour than the wheat of last season.
It is also true, that the quantity of wheat afloat for British
markets, is much larger than a year ago. To-day the market was
strong at $1 43@1 44 for New No. 2 Spring against $1 45 on
Wednesday. The West has been excited over the reduced stocks^
and No. 2 Spring advanced in Chicago to $1 13 for the last half
of January, but receding to-day to $1 09£.
Corn has met with a slow sale for home use, mainly at 77@78c.
for Western Mixed, and it is only at to-day’s market that there
was a little done for export.

past week has generally shown

strength without activity. The receipts of flour are materially
reduced, and although re-inforced by the increased production of
local millers, are considerably lees than the current wants of the
market.
The sto^k in store is, however, 122,000 bbls. greater
than last year, being reported on the 1st of January at 565,000
bbls., against 448,000 bbls. at the same date in 1870, with the gold
price about 80 per cent higher.
Still in view of the reduced
stocks of wheat (noted below), the speculative firmness with which
wheat is held, and the fact that flour is relatively lower than
wheat, holders of flour have been disposed to advance prices. For
some days, however, accounts from abroad have been dull, and
freight room has been scarce ; the export demand has conse¬
quently been limited, with the local trade purchasing only moder¬
ately, and prices show no decided improvement. To-day, with no
cable advices, and a steady rain falling, the market was very
quiet; good lines of extra State ruling nearly nominal at $6 25Corn Meal has been more active at $4 50 for Brandywine.
Wheat has been dull; freight room has been scarce, with rates
latterly showing a slight advance, and shippers have not been
able to operate freely at the prices demanded; while the wants of
millers have been filled by broken and irregular parcels.

following is given as an approximate statement of stocks on hand

Imports this week have included three cargoes tea;

and 15,497 bags of other kinds of coffee.
Receipts of sugar have been fair, including 7,500 bags of Brazil,
and 9,837 bags of Manila sugar.
Receipts of molasses have been

ticipated, owing in part to the fact that quite a number of refiners who had
previously purchased in bond to carry over were enabled to withdraw parcels
sufficient for urgent wants, and the result was a slight weakening of values.

parties, and although the trade have been reluctant in paying any advance,
holders have raised the price 2*®5c. per box since the date of our last, with
moderate sales at the advance. Valencias have shown considerable trade to
arrive, but the terms are kept private. Currants continue to move freely and
sales this week have been still larger than last; prices are unchanged, however

sales are about 150 casks at 5*c. gold and 12c. currency. Citron is quiet no
sales of any moment having taken place, but no further decline in price can be
quoted, as holders do not urge sales. Sardines continue dull and no business
has been done since our last; prices are nominally steady as before quoted.
Nuts have been less active this week, but quotations are quite steady. There
has been an arrival of Fire Crackers which are lower; there is no market at
present for them ; holders ask $3 50 per box.

during the week under review has been confined to the
filling of a few small orders from retailers in distant sections, and
to supplying the wants of a small number of near-by dealers, who
