Remittances should Office Money Orders, invariably be made by drafts or Post MR. SUMNER ON FINANCE. Yesterday Mr. Sumner created quite a Bensation in Wall by the amendment to his specie payment bill. This bill was introduced on Monday. It is designed, as its title indicates, to accomplish two objects: first, “ to strengthen the legal reserves of the banks, and secondly to provide for the resumption of specie payments To reach the first of these ends it compels every one of our 1,600 banking institutions to change the character of its reserve by the accumulation of coin at the rate of one per cent a month, until the whole shall be coin. When this point is reached, every bank shall be required to keep its reserves in coin. The second grand ob¬ jective point—the resumption of specie payments—is to be obtained by a combination of means which are set forth in the third and following sections of the bill. First, the Secre¬ tary of the Treasury, upon the passage of the act, is to give public notice of the intention of the Governnent to resume payments in specie upon all its liabilities, not later than the first of January next, thereafter payments by the Treasury to be upon a coin basis. The Secretary is also required to re street this way from Canada under the provision of the new law, which went into operation there last Tuesday. This is doubted, but even if it should turn out to be in any degree correct, Mr. Sumner must remember that the forty millions of fractional notes are a loan—a Govern¬ ment loan without interest—a loan cheaper to the Treasury than the lowest of Mr. Sherman’s new bonds. In preparing to pay off this forty millions loan, Mr. Sherman must raise the capital somewhere. How are the funds to be had ? Will he raise monej at four or five per cent to pay off this frac¬ tional currency loan which bears no interest. This he will scarcely venture to do. If he do not borrow the money he must raise it by taxa¬ that our American silver will pour Mr. Sumner’s proposition amounts to this, that Mr. Sumner wishes our people to themselves down still more heavily with taxes, that they tion.

But these are fairly with any other employment of capital in the country.” It must be admitted that this language presents a plain the two great forces on which depend the intrinsic value of greenbacks. Mr. Sumner has overlooked this fact, aud he issue before the country. It is perfectly proper for the banks thinks that all that is wanting now is a small contraction of to say, and to prove, if they can, that this proposed reduction forty millions. This being effected, we shall safely land, he of interest on their bonds is excessive ; that they cannot, in connection with their other taxes, continue to make a fair imagines, in the safe harbor of specie payments.

The February reports, however, give a conclusive refutation to those gloomy forebodings, and place the companies in a much better position than they stood a month ago. We see no reason to change the opinion previously expressed, that if the earnings of 1870 shall equal those of 1869 the companies will generally be in a prosperous condition, but where there has been no increase in mileage, there would seem to be no special reason to anticipate a general increase in traffic. \ EARNINGS FROM JANUARY 1 1870. $617,808 1,486,687 761,000 I. 420,100 1,317,978 1,938,733 ...

The second and equally important object sought by the reform movement still remains to be attained. The plan of funding the canal debt,; suggested by Hon. Israel T. Hatch, of Buffalo, relieving the fit to do [Match 19, 1870: THE CHRONICLE. 360 so ; State of the but it is to be hoped that this body, necessity for the immediate payment of the prin¬ cipal, and permitting such a reduction of tolls as would make the canals practically free, is most favorably regarded by the business community. There are some differences of opinion entertained as to the best mode of attaining this result, but the conviction is general that some plan should be immedi¬ ately adopted by which a material reduction of tolls may be effected. The bill lately introduced in the House of Repre¬ sentatives, by Mr. David L. Bennett, of Buffalo, “ to facilitate commerce and diminish the expense of exchanges between the States,” has the same object in view, but proposes that the general Government shall do xhat the reform movement sagacity of the far-sighted and practical statesmen t*V origin is attributable. The original canal was • “Clinton’s Ditch,” and the enlargement “ Ruggles’Folly,”' on the whom their has been fulfilled, and every Grouping altogether, the three trunks, and the several tributaries with whose insolvency they they are saddled, official figures show that the total cost of the canal system of the State, including construction, repairs, interest and “ perquisites,” has been $210,093,502 35 ; whilst the offset to this amount, in tolls and interest,has been $202,619,515 08, leaving a debit of $7,473,987 27 to be charged against the State as the amount not yet refunded. From this showing it will be seen that, although our canals have not yet quite paid for themselves, they are a very cheap and valuable property. Of their importance, notwithstanding the‘rapid growth of the railroad system of the State, as a source of but every promise of the one dream of the other realized. wealth and an element of commercial prosperity, we can best statistics of the State Engineer’s report, which shows that, during the seven months of naviga” tion, in 1869, the canals moved more freight than carried by judge from the tonnage all the railroads together during the year. In the adoption of a wise and manded by the intelligent public, the State are necessarily a primary consideration. liberal canal policy now de¬ the commercial interests of In whatever way the small remaining indebtednes of the canals is disposed? of, it is of the utmost importance that a material reduction ofi tolls should be effected.

That a material reduction of canal tolls is practicable at ficent water way from the lakes to the seaboard gives to New York a natural monopoly of the vast and increasing trade of’ the present time is as evident as that it would greatly benefit the Northwest, it is evident that high tolls and the neglectthe commerce, and add largely to the material wealth of the of necessary repairs have resulted in diverting into other and* State. Up to the present time many causes have combined cheaper channels, a considerable share of the traffic that should^ depreciate the credit of our canal system, the principal one being that, while good in its conception, it has been worse than bad in its management. The great difficulty, however, lay not so much in the trunk canals themselves, as in the con¬ struction of too many unprofitable “ laterals,” and needless feeders. A careful investigation of the subject shows that the Erie, the Champlain, and the Oswego Canals, have fully paid the cost of their construction and maintenance, and have also developed resources of wealth, and a capacity to bear taxation beyond all anticipation. Auxiliary to these, however, is a sys¬ tem of costly and practically worthless ‘‘ laterals,” the Gene¬ see, Crooked Lake, Chemung, Cayuga, Chenango, Oneida Improvement, Black River and others. ' Some of these are useful, it may be, as feeders for the upper levels, and others have contributed more or less each year to the volume of canal traffic ; but collectively they have proved a burden to the State, and the cost of their maintenance, has been saddled It is not impossible, however, to estimate on the trunk lines. with reasonable accuracy how much the State has gained from her canal system, although it is difficult to separate the Erie from the other trunks, each of which, though of lesser import¬ ance, is equally entitled to consideration. In spite of fraud and of the inevitable waste attending the management of pub* lie works, both the Oswego and Champlain Canals have more than refunded to the State Treasury the aggregate cost of construction. The Erie Canal, according to the last report of the State Engineer, has cost the State, for original construc¬ tion, over forty-three millions, for interest on construction account sixty-five millions, and for the cost of maintenance and interest theieon, over thirty-one millions; making its whole cost, as accurately given, $140,430,953 40. As an offset to this large amount, the Erie Canal has paid, in tolls, over eighty-seven millions, and as interest on tolls over ninety four millions—giving a total income of $181,828,603 83. Allow¬ ing the reduction of a liberal percentage for tolls on freights contributed by the lateral canals, there remains a net profit to, to the State from the Erie Canal of Powerful and dangerous rival' routes, both of land and water transportation, are springing have followed the canal. monopoly of the trade of up on every side, competing for a the interior. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and canal, and the railroads and canals of Pennsylvania ; the Cheasa- peake and Ohio Road, now building, the vast commerce which is designed to tap of the western rivers at the bend of the Ohio; the projects to'make Norfolk the outlet of western commerce; the efforts to turn the volume of trade down the Mississippi to New Orleans on the one hand, and down the St. Lawrence on the other, the many partially successful schemes in New England and Canada to tap this trade ou its way to the seaboard, all show how powerful is the competition which New York must resist in order to retain the trade that mainly contributed to her wealth and prosperity. If to accomplish this, and prevent a still further decrease of canal tonnage, a total abolition of tolls is necessary, the State can well afford to lose the four or five millions annually collected from this source, which is a trifle compared with the profits gained from the handling, selling and transhipment of western produce. But aside from the benefits to be derived by both State and city from the va6t commerce that would follow the canal if opened as a free channel for the trade of the Ohio and the Northwest; such a reform has an importance in the largest sense national. So heavy are the transportation taxes now levied on this trade that, at the present lime, breadstuffs and produce to the value of hundreds of millions is perishing in the West, for the reason that it would cost more to move it to the seaboard than it would bring when it reached there. This fact, and the consequent discouragement of production, has is a cause for serious alarm when we consider that Western produce that we must, in a great measure, to make up the balance of our foreign trade. it is depend Without cheaper transportation, however, we cannot compete with Russia and other grain producing countries in the foreign markets ; but with free navigation from the Missiusippi, via the Wisconsin and Fox Rivers, the lakes and the Erie Canal, to the seaboard at this poiut, the agricultural resources of the country would be more fully and profitably developed, the volume of our export trade largely increased, and the prosperity of our State permanently assured. We commend, therefore the movement to fuud the canal debt and abolish tolls, and hope that before the close of the present Legislative session, twenty-one millions.

Correspondent. J London, Saturday, March 4, 1870. A fair amount of business has been in progress in commercial during the present week, and very few real complaints are heard from any quarter. On the whole, a sound and healthy trade is being carried on, and, in most respects, prices rule firm. A circles to increase, the total amount at the credit of the GovernTent at the being nearly £10,000,000. This sum will be retained there until Rank the dividends paid in April, consequently, money will be compara¬ whole of the present month. But although the credit of the Governmeut, the,Bank makes the early part of the season, is cheaper, and the trade accounts ready advances, on good securities, at 3 per cent, and so long as this is from Lancashire are therefore somewhat encouraging. The wool the case, the mercantile body have no reason to complain, and, with trade remains firm, and the position of that for iron is very satis nearly £70,000,000 of bullion in the Banks of England and France, there factory. Letters from India received this week state that the reports need be no fear that it will immediately rise in value. The following are the present quotations : respecting cotton from the Berar districts continue to be of th favorable feature is that cotton, on the news from America stating that opinions favor the larger estimates which were put forth in most gloomy character, and it is believed that no doubt exists but that a great deal of cotton has been destroyed. The receipts of Oomrawuttee produce will, it is said, be much-below what was at one time anticipated. It must be borne in mind, however, that all the estimates early in the season pointed to a large increase in that part of the country, and it is possible that the surplus which was expected only has been lost. The quality of the cotton from this part of the country is improving, although much irregularity still* exists. In Guzerat, Dhollerali and Dharwar prospects continue very favorable, and samples of the first pickings are expected at an early date. A few small parcels of Dharwar produce have already been sold in the district. The following relates to the trade of Manchester : The quiet feeling which characterized this market during the greater part of last week has continued throughout the whole of the present. There has not been what could be exactly described as any depression apparent, but the tone has been weak and languid, and in most departments prices have gradually been giving way. Nevertheless, some producers have hitherto had so many engagements on hand that* they have had little cause to alter their quotations, even although they were doing little or no business. Such caseB, however, are exceptional, and each day that passes without renewed business diminishes their number. In shipping yams for China, the supply of which is large, the giving way in price is most apparent, and sales which were con¬ sidered low ana under the current market price last Friday, could not be repeated to-day. The position of spinners remains much the same, as rela¬ tively cotton has declined at about the same rate as yarn, but manufacturers who are not spinners are not so -well off. as most yarns suitable for shirtings have not hitherto declined sufficiently to allow them to be used with profit by manufacturers. To-day, however, yarns for home consumption have shown more symptoms of giving way, and both twist and weft might have been bought Xd. per lb below what spinners were prepared to accept on Tuesday. The receipts of cotton at the American ports begin to show some falling oft', but this is only what has been anticipated, and they still continue in excess of those at the corresponding period of last year. The prevalence of east winds prevents a large quantity of over-due cotton from arriving in the Mersey, but m the meantime spinners keep trenching upon their stocks, and have latterly bought less than their consumption. The stock in Liverpool consequently does not decrease rapidly, and a favorable change of wind would soon provide a more ample supply. 1 The following statement shows the tively scarce during the there is this large sum at 1869. 1870.

The committee say : We plead the injustice of making any distinc¬ tion between banks and others ot owners bonds, and we maintain that they, like others, should be left free to take the bonds or not. We especially protested rgamst the injustice of compelling banks to surren¬ der or dispose of bonds which are not due, and the right to hold which, and to use lor the purpose that they are now U9ed, we think they have the plighted faith of the Government as a consideration for their com¬ pliance with the terms of the National Banking law. With the present enormous tuxes imposed on banking capital by the General, State and Municipal Governments, il is in our opinion impossible fora large por¬ tion ot the banks to maintain their existence and pay reasonable divi¬ dends to their stockholders, without the benefit derived from circulation whi.h they now enjoy, and which the section of the bill under con sideration takes away entirely. The following statement will show that there will be no profit on circulation if obtained on four and a half per cent bonds paid for in gold at par. In making it we assume that money to be paid for the bonds will be worth seven per cent. If gold is above par, the result will be more unfavorable than appears in the statement.

The surplus over legal reserve thus stands $2,400,000 lower than the previous week. During the last few deys there have been in¬ dications of a moderate outflow of currency to some of the sur¬ rounding districts—a movement which usually sets, in about this period and continues until the beginning of April, to meet the wants connected with annual settlements made about that period. Some considerable amounts of currency have been sent to Phila¬ delphia. y Notwithstanding these movements looking to a more active con¬ dition of the market, there has beeu little change in the rates beyond the discontinuance cf the exceptional transactions on dll at 4 per cent.

From the foregoing statement March THE CHRONICLE 19, 1870.] !i into another unprofitable speculation, it is well for us to weigh the chances. The arrivals at New Orleans are just now small, but on all sides we are told that this is due to the low condition of the - tributary rivers, and that there is “ plenty of Cotton on the banks and at landings,” which consequently cannot be forwarded ; the universal estimate of receipts at that port being “at least one million bales, and perhaps more.” Taking that fact as the basis, and adding the average local estimates of the other ports, we reach the following result: 375 Shipping News.—The exports of cotton from the United States the latest mail returns, have reached 66,004 bales. So far as the Southern ports are concerned, these are the same exportreported by telegraph, and published in the Chronicle last Fri¬ day, except Galveston, and the figures for that port are the exports for two weeks back. With regard to New York, we include the manifestonly up to Tuesday night, to make the figures correspond with the offi¬ cial week. ^Below we give a list of the vessels in which these ship¬ ments from all ports, both North and South, have been made: past week, a« per Total hales Liverpool, per steamers Nevada, 3,143 ...Russia, 750 Citv of London, 673....per Marathon, 752....

Of this Liverpool can have nearly 1,500,000 bales. Their spindles are now working up 55,000 bales per week or more ; they cannot exceed 60,000 bales, if every spindle in England is worked. With these facts before us, and the certainty of large receipts from Bom¬ bay, through the Suez Canal, a speculative movement at present, strikes us as a little dangerous.

This action has been the means of disposing of a large proportion of the old stocks, and has lefu dealers with supplies about equal to the demand. No speculative demand appears to exist among buyers, who confine their purchases chiefly to the standard makes and to such quantities only as will satisfy their immediate wants. Latterly the market is a little more animated, and goods are meeting a more general distribution, and prices are more steady.

Doeskins are usually inactive at this season, and the transactions compare favorably with former years. The recent auction sales have affected trade considerably, and prices are weak at the close.

Towards market has the dose, however, a better feeling is apparent among dealers, and, with the influx of buyers from the interior, a good trade seems probable. In no department is the market heavily stocked, and the present low prices are fully maintained. Buyers appear to realize the fact that nearly all imported goods are held at prices which could l ardly be influenced by any further decline in gold, and show more eagerness to stock up. There is but little animation in any style of Dress goods, although Grenadines are moving quite freely. Staple goods and new handsome styles are the most in demand.
