variation in the value of legal tenders begins, and the
slightest difference is established between them and

be kept out at the present figures, $340,681,016, may
be mentioned as among the unsatisfactory features.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES.
United States bonds were remarkably active, in consequence of the Syndicate transactions; and the success in
entire $50,000,000 of 4^ per
cent bonds, on which their options extended up to the end
closing out so rapidly the
December, was the theme of general comment.
of
of 4 per cents were also freely
made by
Sales
the Treasury, and
against these five-twenty bonds were ca led
in.
Eailroad bonds met with a large demand, both for
investment and speculation, and the movement was very
buoyant and active. Prices advanced sharply and nearly
all the well-known bonds on the Stock Exchange list
participated in the upward movement.

of these bonds was $000,000, of which $42,000 had been canceled
by the sinking fund; the remainder, $.558,000, sold by this firm,

In consequence of the result of the ballot taken on Thursday, the meeting of the Central Committee of the Employers'
AssocialioB, which was to have been held yesterday, was indefinitely postponed.
It yet remains to be seen whether Mr.
Alderman Pickop's mediation is absolutely to fall through; but
it is asserted on the part of the employers that every outside
effort to bring the parties to terms only renders a sbttlemeat
more difficult. It is widely, but erroneously, believed among the
operatives that Mr. Pickop's action has been stimulated by thn
employers; and it is said that this feeling should be taken into
account in estimating the Importance of Thursday's ballot. The
employers are quite resolved not to trouble themselves further in
the matter until some application is made to them by the operatives, or, in other words, until .their terms are accepted.
They
feel that tbere is something more than a trade dispute now resting on their shoulders, and that it would be a sacrificing of the
public interest, if they made concessions in tlie present state of
fteliog in the district. It follows by the postponement of the
meetioir of the Central Committee that the appeal made by the

whilst the goods made from the same kind of cotton in this

Mirfield, of that towp.
It

it
has
caused the utmost surprise and consternation in the wool trade.
It is probably not too much to say that the amounts owing to
Bradford traders under this failure are greater than under any
previous failure in the history of the trade, and the circumstances
under which it has occurred, and the suddenness with which it
has become known, have contributed to the startling effect it
has produced. Mr. Mirfield's business was that of a top maker,
and as a top maker pure and simple we believe hia was the
largest business in the trade. Few men, if indeed any, were
larger buyers of wool in the Bradford market. The firm was an
old one, and for many years had been prosperously and honorably
conducted; consequently, Mr. Mirfield was in the very best credit,
and up to the moment of his suspension might have operated
largely without causing any misgiving. No breath of rumor had
diminished the general feeling of trust in his commercial stability
np to the afternoon of Tuesday; and, indeed, even now, some of
his creditors believe that no ultimate loss will result to them.
The liabilities have not, of course, been ascertained, and we can
get no authentic information on this point; but from the best
surmises that

Messrs. Fisk & Hatch, of 5 Nassau street, have been conspicuous for many years past for their heavy busiuess in Government bonds. I*, may fairly be paid that no other prominent firm
of bankers in New York gives such exclusive attention to the
dealings in Government securities. Now that the sales of 4^ per
cent bonds by the Syndicate have ceased, and bonds must be
purchased through dealers, Messrs. Fisk & Hatch are able to
offer every facility to buyers, both large and small, in this city
For the purpose of giving full Information about
or elsewhere.
all the issues of United States bonds, and enabling investors to
form an opinion of the best class of bonds to take, the firm has
issued an interesting pamphlet, which is very complete in its
details.
In addition to the standard facts about each issue of
bonds, this little pamphlet assists buyers by a clear and comprehensive calculation of the rate of interest each bond will pay, on
the assumption that it will rema'n outstanding for a certain number of years as specified. This table we quote as follows:
" As the bonds are quoted and sold flat, that is to say, with the
accrued interest in each case included in the price, and as the
value of the accrued interest on the different issues at any given
time varies according to the rate of interest which the bonds
carry, and the time that has elapsed since the last payment ot
interest on each respectively, it is necessary, in making a correct
comparison, tu allow for the accrued interest, and to give the Bet
prices for the principal."

attention also to mortgage loans, and now ofi'er to invfstors

great care, never exceeding one third the presentcash value of the

prosperou-* State, and has a much better lecord on municipal
loans than some of her Western sisters.

Atchison Topeka
& Santa Fe.— Topeka,
Janunry
Kan., June
special dispatch to the Commonwealth says that the great railroad war that has been raging in Colorado for the past two
months has been brought to a practical termination by a concurrent decision rendered Saturday by Judges Dillon and Hollett.
The controversy has been between the Denver & Rio Grande
Company and the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Company, over
the posession of the grand canyon of the Arkansas River for the
purpose of connecting their res ective lines. The canyon is very
narrow and its walls very high, so that practically but one roadbed can be built through. Judges Dillon and Hollett decide the
prior right of occupation is with tlie A. T. & S. Fe Co., and that the
D. & R. G. Co. acquired no particular way through the canyon.
The former company is now in possession of the disputed ground,
with a large force ol workmen grading an extension of its line to
Leadville.
The D. & R. G. have quietly withdrawn their forces.

This statement shows us that although the receipts at the ports
the past week were 12,380 bales, the actual from plantations
were only 7,509 bales, the balance being drawn from stocks at
the interior ports. Last year the receipts from the plantations
for the same week were
bales, and for 1876 they were 5,314
bales.
Weather Reports by Telegraph. — In
most sections the
weather has continued very favorable during the past week, but
at some important points it has been too rainy.
Very heavy rain
has fallen at Dallas, Texas, and more than desirable at Corsicana,
in the same State but our correspondents think the harm done is
mainly confined to the wheat crop. At Shreveport, also, the rains
have been quite heavy. Dry weather in those sections is needed?Galveston, Texas.
The weather during the week has been
warm and dry. Crops are magnificent and fully three weeks
earlier than last year.
The thermometer has averaged 86, the
extremes having been 77 and 90.
Indianola, Texas. We have had no rainfall during the week
just closed.
The thermometer has ranged from 76 to 92, averaging 84. Prospects are as good as can be, but there are rumors of

damage has been done, but dry weather is wanted. Average
thermometer 78, highest 93 and lowest 65.
Dallas, Texas.
Rain has fallen on three days, enormously, to
a depth of six inches and fifteen hundredths, and much damage

COMP.ARATIVB PORT RECEIPTS AND DAILY CROP MOVEMENT.
comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate,
as the weeks in different years do not end on the same day of the
month.
We have consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader may coaatantly have baforo him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the years named. First we give the receipts at
each port each day of the week ending to-night.

Bags, B.aooino, &c
Bagging has been in better
demand during the past week, and a good inquiry is to be noted
from consumers, with holders showing rather more firmness as
to i)rices.
There have been no lots taken as yet, but an active
demand is now looked for, and higher prices may be anticipated
with the expected trade. Prices are now 9i'Dii3c. for 2 lb. quality, and for standard grades I 'iitlOJc. isdemanded.
Butts have
been in fair demand, though no large sales are reported. Prices
ontinuesttiady in tone, with sales of parcels to the extent of 5o0
iiales, paper quality, at J ll-lOc, cash, and a few parcels of better
quality at 'i 13- lie, time. The feeling at the close is steady, with
holders quoting 2l;d-.'|c., cash and time.

Tug tOxpuKTs or CorroN from New Vork this week show an
increase, as compared with last week, the total reaching 3,,539
bales, against 2.631 bales last week.
