New Yobk, January 4, 1873.
At a meeting of the Committee of " American Stockholders of
the Erie Railway," held on Wednesday, the 3d inst.. the recent
movement set on foot by Messrs. Bischoffsheira and McHenry in the
interest of the Atlantic and Grent Western stockholders was discuB^ed, and the following resolution wag passed
Whereas. The Commit ee of American Stockholders in the Erie
Railway have had their attention directed to the recent combination on the part of the stockholders in the Atlantic and Great
Weftern Railway Company, represented by Messrs, Bischoffsheim
and McHenry of London, and have reason to believe that any
management of the Erie Railway in the interest of the Atlantic
and Great Western Road, or any compromise with the present
managers of the Erie Railway, would be seriously detrimental to
the prosperity of the main line.
Reso ved, Tha' the Committee recommend the American stockholders to withhold their confidence from the above-named
Atlantic and Great Western combination, and from all movements
having for their object the benefit of outside railways, or the
maintenance in office of any part of the present management of
the Erie Railway, or any movement whatsoever proposing to effect

The late advance of prime Buenos Ay res hides to 38 Jc. gold, duly
paid, has called special attention to this trade. Leather manufacture has for a long time been one of our pet industries
a moist,
changeable climate has always made us large consumers, so much
so that even as far back as 1815 the manufactures of leather in the
United States reached a value of $24,000,000. Until recently we
have drawn our supplies largely from our own cattle-yards all
over the country since the commencement of the war, however,
the reproduction of cattle has been radically disturbed in all the
States but Texas first, hy the waste and ravages of the war
itself, and since then by the great increase of consumption, considerably outrunning, and therefore for a time continually
diminishing production. The consequence has been not only
high prices for beef, but also a large reduction in the available stork of domestic hides, so that now wo can rely upon only
a very moderate annual home supply, and are therefore compelled
to import hides from every nook and corner of the earth, until the
aggregate is four times the extent of our importation at New
York twenty-three years ago, reaching 972,6,i4 hides in 1848
af^inst 3,330,9(55 hides last year- Unfortunately Europe is to a
certain extent in a similar position, and sines September last, has
begun to draw large amounts of leather from the United States,
the quantity thus withdrawn from our own available resources
figuring up precisely a half a million sides, and of these about
one-half since January 1 of this year. In other words, instead of
there being an increased stock at home and abroad to supply the
increased demand, we find our supply from every direction is,
thus far. falling below last year, as is indicated in the following

not so dry as could be wished. Agricultural operations, however,
have not been seriously impeded, but vegetation continues to

Chapters of Erie and Other Esaaya.— This is the title of an
interesting volume issued by Messrs J. K. Osgood i Co.,ot Boston,
comprising a number of valuable essays by Messrs. Charles Francis
Adams, Jr., and Henry Adams. These essays are upon sulijocts
most highly interesting to all persons who care, even in the
slightest degree, to observe the history or progress of railroads
and finance in this country. Most of them have previously appeared
in the North American Review, and the several titles are as
follows "
Chapter of Erie," " The New York Gold Consiiirncv,"
" An Erie Raid," " Captaine John Smith," " The Banli of England
Restriction," " British Finance in lol6," " The Legal-tender Act,"
A
:
"
The Railroad System."
The Northern Pacific In Great Britain.—The people
of
Great Britain are taking an interest in the Northern Pacific Railway not only as a field for investment, but as a powerful asjency
tor the consolidation and development of their colonial possessions
HXtending from Halilax to the Pacific Ocean, and for the maintenance of their trade with the far East. Below we give an extract from the London Pout on this subject
" The whole area oT England and Scotland is about fifty-seven
million acres, and tliat of England, Scotland and Ireland is about
seventy five millions so that the territory given by the American
Government to the Northern Pacific Railway Company exceeds
that of Great Britain by three millions of acres, and is only fiiteen
millions of acres less than the whole area of the United Kingdom.
*
* Our interest in this particular American enterpritie arises
from the circumstance that it appears to open up to us a portion
of our own dominions which have hitherto been almost inaccessi* * lu short, from the Eastern to the Western terminus
ble.
')f the line the route ol this road traverses a region most desirable
lor settlement and rich in resources, whose development will be
almost as profitable to British as to American interests."
;
Tontine Investment Policies,— The union of the Tontine
annuity system with life and endowment insurance, as effected in
the system adopted by the New Y'ork Life Insurance Company,
commends itself at once to the intelligent judgment as combining
many new and excellent features calculated to make lite insurance
more perfectly adapted t6 the requirement of all classes. Tontine
investment and life insurance are both excellent, but widely different in there aims and purposes. In the former a number of
persons associate to form a fund for Investment, the income of
which is divided at stated periods among the members of the
issociation the shares of such as may die passing to their desijendanta, and on the death of the heirs, reverting to the survivois,
until those who share in the final division receive enormous profits.
Life Insurance, on the other hand, is a purely unselfish act; the
applicant seeking only the benefit of those dependent on hm,
who. in the event of his death, would be deprived of this suppnrt.
tn the former the greatest benefit comes to those who live the
longest in the latter the greatest benefit accrues to the heirs of
those who die the earliest
By the Tontine system of life insurance it is sought to combine the advantages of both, and, while
making insurance a profitable investment to the insured, secures
to the heirs and dependants all the advantages which the old system of life insurance w^as designed to give them.
Under the liberal rules of the New York Life Insurance Company, this system is made applicable to all policies, of whatever
lorra, the benefits of which do not mature within the Tontine
period, without increasing the premium rates.
Where the division is made to survivors, the share of each
may either be drawn in cash, converted into an annuity, or
applied to the payment of premiums on the life policy an
option of which the advantages to the insured are very great.
This system, in its carefully adjusted details, has been adopted
exclusively by the New Y'ork Life Insurance Company, and
m^rks the beginning of a new era in life insurance, and while
completely meeting all the objections raised against the old
system of long term and whole life policies, offers inducements
to many who have hitherto had no motive for availing themselves
of the benefits of the system.

The value ol" the stock for speculative purposes is entirely
another matter. To the Atlantic and Great Western it is of supreme importance that they should control the ne.\t election. Two weeks ago, and before
it wa« known whether the project of i^ct'ing control of the board, whicli was
carried out so successfnlly on Mondav. would be a success, the .\tlftntic and
(ireat Woetern or McUenry party held, it is said on good authority, less tlian
$10,000,000 of the stuck, while tlie London Erie Protection CVminnttec (Heath
and Rjtphaeli. with their allies here, held about $50,000,000 of the stock. The
McHcnry, or Atlantic and (Ireat Western party have, since last Monday, been
buying freely both here and in London, and it is very likely that the stock is
now more equally divided between the two English parties."

Rates were firmer on Saturday last and
early this week, and the best bankers' bills were quoted i to J
higher. To-day, however, there was a decline of about the same
extent. The actual variation in the tone of the market has, in
fact, been slight, and with the exception of the tight money market and sale of some borrowed bills, there have been few outside influences to affect rates. Quotations close nominally \ higher
than last week.

the express stocks have all advanced. The attention of the market has been greatly absorbed by the operations in Erie, the comiiion stock having ijcen advanced to 43 and the preferred to 77J.
Il is unnecessary to refer in detail to the circumstances attending
the " revolution" in the Erie Kailway Company's management, by
which Genera! Dix has become its President, as these are already
matters of public notoriety, but the actual situation of the parties
desiring to control the Company is now of immediate interest.
Upon this subject the financial article of the Eoeiiing Pott to-day

The liockford. Rock Island <fc St. Louis Railroad Company
issued first inortgaKO seven per cent jrold bonds for 19,000,000,
dated August 1. 1868. These bonds were oBered, and soon placed
here and in Cierniany, but mainly in the latter market. The
bonds were sold without reference to prottress made in building
the road and the proceeds were expended very ft eely, probably
extravagantly, and when only a jioition of the total length was
completed, the Company had to borrow money to pay the Interest
due February, 18T1. It bt!came evident that the road was not

The Company has lately been reorganized, and a statement
has l)een ippued to show that the earnings for the past few months
are largely iiicrtaffd. A circular has recently bi^en is.-^ued requesting the bondholders to agree to a plan lor funding the six

that the injurious eftecta of this one failure, will be sjicedily lost

investments in hundreds of other sound companies in the United
States.

between St. Ijouis and St. Josejih the bonds were soon placed, and
afliiirs seemed to be working well until the trouble.-! of the North
Missouri Kailroad occurred as stated in our last and that road
having leaseti the St. Louis and St. Joseph, default wa.s made May 1,
1871, in the payment of tbe six' months' interest due on that date.
The President'issued a circular stating that the road cost f2,000,000, that there was no ground for fears as to the swurity aflbrded
for the bonds, nnd that it was expected the interest would be
shortly paid. But the bonds fell to GO. Just before the next six
months' interest was due, Nov. 1st, 1871, that due on the 1st May,
1871, was paid, and it is now stated that the interest due 1st November will be paid in April. By postponing the payments f«r
a few months the Company say they will he able before long to
pay in full all arrears. The bondt< are now (juoted 70@75, and it
is hoped that the difficulties are mostly over.

Within the short period since Ihe opening of the Pacific Railroad, an important Asiatic trade has already l>een developed,

orders of consigneeB or the payment of duties, at a cost of about
two dollars per ton, which is a most onerous tax. Right ahead
of the company's wharves, and about midway between them and
the city, lies (Joat Island or " Yerba Buena," a rocky islet of
about isO acres in extent, having on its southern side 30 feet of
water, sufficient to allow the large steamers and sailing vessels
plying the Pacific Ocean to be mooted alongside in safety. This is
the only spot of ground approachable from the eastern shore which
commands this depth of water, and the only jiiece of land within
many miles, to which vessels of this class can be hafely ra(X)red
it is the natural and proper place for the actual Pacific Railroad
terminus, and it can be put to no oilier pur|Kj8e in time of peace,
and will be rendered far more efficient Viy the road in case of
war. The government and the railroad company are the only
parties who can, or ought to, negotiate lor its occupancy. On the
northerly end the government propose to erect a fortification

million bushels— occujiied by the Central Pacific read and branches,

Business prudence, national polity and common sense, point to
this little spot as the most useful one to American commerce in
the world.
It is stated on bchall of the company that to extend their wharf
by bridging the bay so as lo reach the island will, according to
the estimiile of co"m])etent engineers, require an expenditure of
two million dollars. To hew down the necessary roadway, space
for depot, warehouses, &c., from the abrupt and rocky surface of
the i.sland will cost over a million more. This expenditure the
com|)any, in the hope of an enlarged carrying trade, ofl'er to bear;
and it is all they can afford to pay, all, in fact, the privilege is
worth to them. So that instead of being a gratuity to the railroad company, as is sometimes supposed, it involves a large outlay of money in advance on their part, while the benefits therefrom are contingent upon the increase of through traffic. The
case, then, stands thus: The government has reserved Yerba
Buena as a military post it does not wish lo sell it, but lo retain
it as nati nal defense, and for that piirpose it would be greatly
strengthened by having railroad communication with the main
land. The railroad company are willing to make this heavy
expenditure if piermission is given to make their terminus on the

As compared with the earnings of the previous year, the earnings for 1871, show an increase of $12,696 97. This increase is
small in itself, but in view of all the conspicuous causes, which
have impaired the value and the volume of railway transportation
during the last six months of the year, it should be a subject of
congratulation that any increase has been obtained at all.

true position of the Company in its most important aspect
seems not to be understood. Its road is commonly regarded as a
finished work. In previous reports this impression has been
carefully sought to be removed. The Atlantic & Gulf Railroad is
an unfinished enterprise. It has not been completed to the terminus designed to be reached by the originators of its scheme, as
specifically indicated by its charter from the State, and on which
the subscriptifms of the State and of all the original stockholders
of the Company were predicated. The charter declares that the
route of the road shall be selected " with dist net reference to a
speedy connection with tlie filulf of Mexico, at Pensacola or
Mobile ;" and again, that it was " the intention of the State of
Georgia, by this act, to ijrovide a main trunk railway across her
territory, connecting the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico."
It
was not until the close of 1870 that any pause in the progiess of
the main line was entertained, and the experience of the year 1871
is sufficient to show that the Company should not rely exclusively
on its temporary local establishment.
The Board of Directors have determined that the line should
be extended so soon as the necessary means can be obtained.
Active measures have been taken to secure a restoration of the
public lands in the State of Alabama granted to the Company,
and of which it was deprived by limitation in 1867, and other
measures will be adopted as soon as they may be authorized by
^he proper occasion.

rent has been paid giUisfactorilyand the permanent way somewhat

cent dividends on capital stock, interest on bonds, snndry small
expenses and cash for the redemption of |108.500 of bonds, leaving on hand a balance of $57,015. The president makes the following statement of the offer of Ur. James McIIenry, presumal>ly
as the afrent of the Atlantic & Great WesterB, to purchase the
stock of the
company
:
Mr. James McHenry, of London, made overtures for the purchase of a controlling interest in the stock of this
conipanv; and after considerable correspondence and exhibits furnished "him of our financial condition and prospects, a proposition
was made to Mr. McIIenry, by me, providing for the sale to him
of tlie entire stock of the coinpany, so far as the several shareholders should elect to accept the same and the 20th of the
present month was fixed as the date on or before which notice of
lull acceptance on his part of the provision of the proposition
should reach me here.
This proposition has been duly accepted on the part of Mr.
McIIenry, and it is now open for the acceptance of such of our
In

;
stoci*holders as shall so elect.
The arranireraent, as it now stands, is as follows:
Mr. McHonry has agreed to purchase all of the stock of this
company which shall be presented and transferred to him on
the ISth day of April next, provided it shall incliuie a majority
of the stock. Messrs. Duncan, Sherman & Co., of New York,
have agreed to act as his agent and receive and pay for the stock,
according to the provisions of the proposition. The price of the
stock to be, for every two shares or $100 of the same, |120 in currency, witli interest thereon at the rate of 7 per cent per annum
froni the date of the last dividend to the day on which the stock
shall be delivered.
The proposition is, I think, too plain to require any explanation
or comment.
E ich shareholder will, of course decide for himself whether he
will accept or decline the proposition thus open to all on equal
terms.
The directors personally expect to accept the proposition, and
offer their own sto. k on the terms proposed.
And they have concluded to suggest for the benefit of the entire list of" stockholders the following plan for carrying out the
arrangement.
The plan they deem convenient, and also sate, as it retains the
entire control of the stock in our own hands until its entire consummation.
The plan is as follows
Each stockholder who desires to sail his stock on the terms
proposed, to send his certificates of stock to this office, accompanied witli a power of attorney authorizing Joseph Perkins,
1 rustee, to transfer the same.
The liustee will return a receipt for the certificates of stock,
stating the conditions upon which they are received and held, and
the price at which the stock is to be sold. And if, for any reason,
the sale shall fail to be consummated, the power of attorney is to
be cancelled and the certificate returned to the owner.
These certificates should all reach this office on or before the
1st day of April next, to give the trustee time sufficient to perfect his arrangements for the final transfer, and for receiving payments for the stock on the 18th of the same month. If on that
date the sale should be consummated, as proposed, the trustee
will immediately mail to each stockholder a check for the amount
which he may be entitled to receive for his stock sold.
The transfer books will be closed from the 1st of February to

trost $48,000. estimated at $iW.400, making a toUl of
»-ja8,442 01, leaving an apparent deficiency of
$67920 17. exclusive of any dividend to the stockholders.
Tiia dcficlencT
arose from the insufficiency ot the means provided for the settlement of the pending debts, and other lial-illties of the company,
as thev stood on June 1, 1870. a part of the assets which are relied
upon for the payment of such debts, being claimed by the Phila2i;r.o''.^?*i?
delphia and Reading Railrosd Company as their pro|.erty. nnder
the agreement of June 14, 1870. In order to settle this difference
of 0|Linion, and to provide a fund for the complete extinguishment
of the indebtedness of the company, and the payment of the
stockholders of the above named dividend, it hnd been agreed to
modify the lease and agreement with the Philadelphia and lieading Railroad Comnany, subject to the approval of the stockholders. The dividend of July 31st had been ordered, bnt if the
stockholders should not ratify it, then the future income from rent
of last year, as well as the means now on hand, would be required
for tlie payment of the debts and dividends.
The proposed ar-
rangement was
1st. That the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company
should guarantee the payment of principal and interest of $150,
000 debenture coupon bonds of the Navigation Company, payable
:
annum clear of t^xes, the proceeds of said bonds, with the present means of the company, to be
applied to the payment of tlie debts.
2d. The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad should pay the full
rent for 1873, to be applied for interest, dividend and current expenses, on the basis of the agreement of July 12lh, 1870.
3d. That on January 1st, 1873, and thereafter during the continuance of the lease, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company shouW provide office room and furnish all supplies for con
ducting the business of the Navigation Company, and also make
an allowance of $1 000 per annum for the compensation of a president of the Navigation Company wliose duty it shall be to verify
the transfers and the issues of all certificates of loans, &c.
4th. That out of any surplus that might remain upon the settlement of the Navigation Company's affairs, a compensation might
continue to bo allowed to its oflicers for 1873, while tUey were
seeking other offices.
On the motion of Mr. W. D. Whitney it was resolved that a
committee of three stockholders bo appointed to examine the plan
of a supplement for any agreement with the Philadeliihia and
Reading Railroad Company therein suggested, and report to an
adjourned meeting of the stockholders.
Nangatuck Railroad. The annual report of the President
and directors of the Naugatuck Railroad Company states that the
Income for the year ending December 31,1371, was $624,761 80;
and the net gain, after deducting all expenditures, taxes, interest,
&c., $202,978 21, which is nearly 11 per cent on the capital stock.
The entire capital account is $1,984,900, of which $1,872,400
is stock and the remainder mortgage bonds.
This is at the rate
of $32,015 per mile of road.
This road runs from Bridgeport, Conn., following the line of
the Naugatuck River most of the way, to Winsted, Conn., a distance of 63 miles. Buildings and shop, at the former tdace, are
located on docks and piers bui't for its use, from which steamboats bound for New York arrive and depart daily, and where
800 tons of coal can be discharged from vessels daily. The roadbed is reported in first-class order, having over twenty miles of
steel rails already laid and more to put down the coming summer.

future delivery, say about 50.000 bales, and will run down their
stock (if next crop should in the summer promise well), perhaps,
60.000 bales more. Bringing these items into the statement and
putting the Northern consumption at 950,000 bales (the estimate
given by the best authorities), and the account would stand as
follows

From the above it would appear that our spinners (if their conumption reaches 950,00 bales) will require to purchase from the
ports only 136,000 bales to run them into the next crop, or 180,000
f we leave out of the count the forward delivery purchases, which
are of couriie a very uncertain item. If, by reason of the high
prices, consumption should fail to reach the figure given above,
heir requirements would be just so much less.

The markets {for flour and grain have been dull, and somewhat irregular during the past week, the leading feature being a
decline in corn, followed by a speculative action, which resulted
closing prices show a pretty uniform dein a partial recovery

cline from last Friday.
Receipts of flour have been quite moderate, but the market haa
been almost unprecedentedly dull. Scarcity of freight room baa
embarrassed shippers to the West Indies, the continued cold
weather has delayed the demand from the Provinces, and a decline in Liverpool has been added to the other adverse inflneocea.

good lines of extra State close nominal, with buyers at f6 50@
The higher grades have re60, and sellers at |0 75@8 85.
mained comparatively steady, but with a very slow trade. Today, the market was quiet, but prices without further decline.
The wheat market has been quiet, and until towards the close
comparatively firm. The business was mainly in spring growths,'
as they were relatively cheaper than winter wheats. There was
some milling demand, with sales as high as $1 58 for choice No,

load of No. 3 Chicago was taken for export at $1 50, afloat; but
this was an exceptional transaction, and tlio general market was
very dull and depressed. To day, winter wheats were lower under
a pressure to sell, and amber Michigan sold at $1 70, in storeswhile prime No. 3 spring was offered at f 1 50, afloat, with bid»
at
$1 40, in store.

The general market has lacked
a long time, with scarcely enough business doing to admit of
a margin for current expenses. The articles likely to be influenced
by a change of duties have continued somewhat prostrate awaiting the slow motion of the Senate on the Tariff question, but
sweets generally have gained tone and met with rather an improved demand. The stock of both sugar and molasses is unusually low for the seaaon, though a considerable fleet is thought
to be over due, and detained by adverse winds.
The entries direct for consumption, and the withdrawals from
bond, showing together the total thrown on the market for the
week, were as follows

were oF short duration, and business has again fallen back into a dull and
Blnggish state.
Holders had become somewhat hopeful in view of the
especlation that the tariff" argnraent would be reached in the Senate during
the early portion of the present week, but in this they were disappointed, and
the continued delay in the settlement of the duty qnestiou has a very prostrating efl'ect upon trade. There are many evidences that a considerable
amount of stock is wanted, but buyers are expressing a determination not to
move except through actual necessity until they can obtain some idea of the
probable action of Congress. The call is mainly for Greens and Japans, it
is said, and an occasional intimation is thrown out that sales of some magnitude
have been quietly made in bond, but the amounts reported are very small. The
Line trade slow generally. On values no quotable change can be made, though
the tone is irregular, and buyers in some cases are said to have the advantage.
Sales of 4,600 Greens, 1,100 Japans, and 480 Oolongs, mostly in small Invoices.
Imports this week have included 364,367 lbs. Black, per "Emperor,"
from Amoy. The receipts indirectly have been 29 pkgs. by steamer and
4,163 by rail overland.

good many of the trade are
still more or less hopeful, but they have been
disappointed in their calculations upon an increased volume of the general
movement, and the market, as f whole, has again shown a Blow and somewhat
discouraging tone. The apparently needless delay of Congress in settling the
duty question has been the great drawback, as interior buyers hold back
until they can be assured as to what changes the tarift' will be subject, and our
jobbers naturally refrain from nurchaslng large invoices while there is no
distributive outlet, preferring to leave the cost of carrying with the Importer.

accept last week. Lagnayra and Maracalbo were most sought after with most

Bnsiness has been very dull, but the condition of the market is pretty
strong and the ontlook encouraging. Pretty much everything on hand worth
buying has been taken up, and, with extremely light arrivals, there has been
•carcely anything to offer of either the old or new crop. In the meantime the
wants of buyers have slightly increased, and there Is every probability that a
very fair outlet would he provided for desirable cargoes. The trade are unable
to obtain any more cheap domestic stock, and must fall back on foreign to
some extent, and refiners who do not receive direct are getting their stocks on
hand down to a pretty low aggregate. Values, in the absence of leading
sales, are somewhat doubtful, but indications are favorable for pretty
full figures.
Domestic has been somewhat dull, as there is not much stock
&c.
Foreign dried continue along in abfiut the same position; no great
amount of activity ill any partimlar article, and the Iransactlons of tho week
mosUy of a jobbing character but values arc held very aleadily, while some
descriplions show considerable strength, principal of which la Turkish
prunes, the stock of both old and new crop has become materially reduced
and holders are asking an advance. Raisins are in moderate demand, and
with an ample stock prices are steady. Currants and citron rather quiet and
without material alteration. Sardines rather slow. Nuts of ail kinds dull.
Other descrlptious quiet but atcady.
Foreign Green— There is a good Jobbing inquiry for most kinda, and price*
are held pretty firmly

BBOWN
THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
[March
has been fairly active throughout the week. There is not much
trade doing in first hands exceptinpr a few of the most active cotton
ne.
fabrics which have been so well sold out of jobbers hands as to
howcessitate cons'derable purchases to replenish stocks. There is,
houses,
ever, no more than the usual dullness with commission
would follow. The small trade has not begun to buy much as
yet, and the larger jobbing houses are doing about all of the
buBlness. The retail trade is active, and retailers stocks both
here and in the interior are pretty well cleared out.
Domestic Cotton Goods.— The market for cottons has not been
very active excepting in a jobbing way. Brown and bleached
goods are selling fairly at about previous quotations the only
change being an advance of Ic. on Wanisutta 4-4 shirtings.

Domestic Wooi.kn Goods.— The demand
woolen fabrics
has not been very active this week, but the market rules strong
on all classes of goods, and holders continue to ask a moderate
advance. Heavy weight cassimeres are in good request, and are
for
25@50c. higher, while light weights are comparatively neglected,
but are still held firmly. There is a limited demand for cloths,
but the trade lacks activity. There is a good deal of activity in
the flannel trade in first hands, and all grades of these goods are
held with renewed firmntss. The demand for immediate distri
bution is, of course, not important, but buyers who are in a posi.
tion to carry stocks are prepared to clear the market of anything
offering a margin for a rise before fall.
Shawls are fairly active
at full quotations, with particularly desirable styles held
a shade
higher by some manufacturers.
Foreign Goods.— There is a decided improvement in the
4emand for foreign goods, both in first and jobbing hands.
Popular styles of dress fabrics are active and stocks are well
reduced, though the importations continue heavy. It is said
that
part, at least, of the increase in the importations is
due to the
ntroduction into the dry goods market of this country
of job
goods, especially those which have been left over
from previous
easons, and which now so materially help to
swell the stock of
foreign goods. Speculation of this kind may,
in the present

trade, and as
their removal from the continental
markets must contribute to
