This road was only operated under lease to tlie International

gross earnings were f 327,6.")3 and operating expenses f;3|0,6A.5.
It is but .50 miles long, and forms the only outlet of the fiould
system to the city of Galveston; but the road was in poor condition when foreolose<l, and large expenilitures have probably
been made on the proi)erty. In 1879 the gross eaminga were

For the week ending
as indicated
from the South to-night, is given below.
this evening (March 31), the total receipts have reached ia^BM
Presidential succession.
The speculation in lard has been quite without spirit in the
past week, and prices have materially declined, a slight rally
yesterday being followed by renewed depression to-day, prime
Western closing at 9'70c. on the spot and for March and April
delivery, 974@9-76c. for May, 9-82(i:<9-84c. for June and 9-86@

9'88c. for July.

meats have had some inquiry at SJ^gSJ-gC, for bellies,
8M@8J^c. for shoulders and lljj^® 1314c. for hams, and
smoked are quoted at 13}4(a!l33^c. for hams and 9V|^@9J^c.

8,867,485 hogs, against 4,450,940 last year, a decrease of 583,455
hogs. This is a decrease of 18'37 pounds in the aveVage gross
weight, making a deficiency in the manufactured product
equivalent to 848,000 hogs, or 19 per cent. The decrease in the
yield of lard is 2 4-10 pounds per hog, which is equivalent to
91,000 tierces. The reports of the stocks of provisions show a
decrease of 53,.500,000 pounds of meats and 108,000 barrels of
pork. The stock of lard is about 6,000 tierces greater.
Rio coffee has been dull and declining, and fair cargoes at
options have been active,
the close are nominally 1134c,
excited and panicky at a decline of Ic. to IJ^c closing at
9'lOc. for March, 9c. for April, 8'95c. for May and June and
the stocks are largely in excess of

those held here at this time last year, while prices are
materially higher than then the failure of three firms has
added to the demoralization ; mild grades have latterly sold
more freely, notably Padang and Caracas, but at lower prices.
Tea has beien fairly active, but at lower prices; Japan sold today at cOc. for April, 31l^c,@31j8C. for May and 333^f(ii33c. for
June, Rice has been quiet and steady. Refining molasses has
declined to 23c, for 50 degrees test Cuba New Orleans has not
changed materially and has been quiet. Spices have been
quiet, with ginger and cassia lower. Foreign fruits have been
generally steady, and raisins have advanced. Raw sugar has
been fairly active at declining prices, fair refining closing
nominally at SJj'cffio 7-16c., with centrifugal 96 degrees test
not over O^gc; fair refining has sold freely for July at 5'773^c.
refined has been quiet at lfs@'!/i^- for powdered, 754@7J8C.
for crushed and 7 5-16@7j8C. for gr^ulated.
There has been a steady tmt quiet market in all grades and
descriptions of tobacco. Kentucky has sold to the extent of
874 hhds., of which 125 hhds. .were for export on the Tobacco
Exchange 550 hhds. have been sold. Lugs are quoted 7i|^@8c.
and leaf at 8)^@llc. Seed leaf ruled steady though by no
means active. Sales for the week embrace 1,050 cases, including 500 cases crop 1881, Pennsylvania, 6@10c,; 250 oases crop

quoted at 34i4(a34}^c., and strained to good strained rosins
In [metals nothing of interest occurred,
|1 473^@$1 523^.
the feeling being almost uniformly easy. Refined petroleum
has ruled steady at 83^c. for 70 Abel test, and the sales have
aggregated 30,000 bbls. on that basis. Crude oil certificates
have been irregular and inclined to weakness, but to-day renewed buying on the "long" side brought out a higher
range of values
the opening price was $1 OOJg, highest
f 1 00;^, lowest I 1 003^, and closing |1 OOXIn ocean freight-room berth rates have been irregular and
inclined to easiness. Charters, particularly petroleum tonnage, have been; well maintained. To-day grain to Liverpool

BREADSTUFFS.
Flour his been quiet and depressed, owing partly to the
slowness of trade, and partly to the reduction in freight rates
hither from the West. Winter wlieat flour of high grade has
continued in moderate supply, but some of the lower grades
ample supply. The receipts, however, have been
mainly of spring wheat flour. City mills and Southern flour
sell rather the most readily, though the dulnesj of all grades
differs only in degree.
To-day the market was dull and
generally weak.

has been only moderately active on speculation
for export.
Prices fabve fallen in
sympathy
with the decline in wheat, but corn has not followed tbe latter
cereal so closely as at times in the past. Still, the speculativ»
trading, both here and at Chicago, has been without aniui».
tion, and only a better demand at the latter market for the
lower grades, which are becoming scarce, prevented a more
marked
decline there though somewhat smaller receipts have
Ukewise served to break tbe force of the downward movement in wheat. To-day there was a moderate trade here at a
slight decline. White and yellow descriptions are neglected
and to a great extent nominal. No. 3 mixed closed weak at
6I0. for March, 61=gc. for April, 62^c. for May, 68^0. for
June and 65c. for July, These prices are ^o, to Ic. lower than
those of a week ago.
Rye and barley have sold moderately at prices showing no
marked change. Oats have been fairly active only, and have
declined slightly; No. 2 mixed closed at 40c. for April, 40^c.
for May and 40^^c. for June, showing a decline of ){o. for the
week.
The trading toward the close was more active.

strictly desirable stylos of all-wool
cotton-warp cassimeres, but inHilTerent makes were almost
neglected. Worsted coatings and siritings were taken in
moderate quantities to a fair aggregutu amount, as were
choice makes of overcoatings ; but there was less spirit in the
demand by clothiers than is usually seen at this stage of the
season. Stocki of the above goods are not excessive, and the
best makes are steadily held at opening quotations. Satinets
(though in fair demand were less active than of late, and a
limited business iu Kentucky jeans was reported by agents.
Cloakings were fairly active in somo quarters (owing to exceptionally low prices), but the general demand was moderate,
and there was only a limited call for Indies cloths, Jersey
cloths and stockinettes, while all wool and worsted drees
fabrics were in fair request, as were shawls and carpets.
FoREi(.iN Dry Oo(3DS have ruled quiet in importers' hands,
and only moderate sales were effected by jobbers. Fancy summer silks and line black and colored silks were in fair request,
as were a few specialties in fancy dress goods ; but low-grade
1
and staple dress fabrics were lightly dealt in. White
goods, lac(» and embroideries met with considerable attention,
but linen goods were slow of sale, as were most kinds of men's,

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
FaiDAT. p. M., March 21, 1881.
little change in the
The pa«t week hna developed very
general cjonilition of the diy goods trade. Wholesale buyers
continued to operate lif^htly, and in accordance with positive
wants, and a comparatively small but^ineaa was consequently
done by domestic cominisdion faou.ses and importers. There
was at times a moderately good trade in jobbiiu: circles, btit
the weather was capricious, and there were so many quiet
intervals that a much smuller aggroKate distribution of seasonable goods was made by jobbers tlian bus usually been the
case at the corres]K)n(ling period in former year?. It has
become apparent that the outlook for a really good spring
trade is not encouraging among distributers and thoy are
therefore making their early purchases with unusual caution,
but it is l^' no means improbable that the 8ituati(jn will change
for the better within the next few weeks, if the demand for
consumption should
start up briskly. Values are without
material chnnge, but a steady advance in cotton has imparted
more firmne.-s to pom» kinds of manufactured goods in first
hands, and a few Uescriptioas have slightly :i
