This adjustment of the recent difflcully will be welcomed with

is already perci ptible a our Stock Exchange, and an increase of
foreign orders for Government securities made their appearance
yesterday.
The recent agitation in England has disturbed
business to a much greater extent there than is generally supposed
here, as will be evident from the subjoined extract from a recent
circalar Issued from the London Stock Exchange:
"Considering the growing magnitude of the operations between
the two countries, it may sately be as.serted that the interruption to business caused by the Alabama question has been the
greatest of all the consequential damages. Whether the Alabama
contributed to prolonging the war in the surprising way attributed to her in the American " case," or exercised no more influence or eU'ect in that direction than the Flying Dutchman, as Mr.
Uorse (himself an American) ssys, she has undoubtedly exercised
a most pernicious influence on internittional operations and on the
securities of the United States.
A large volume of emigration
was setting from the United Kingdom towards the republic, of a class, too,
strongly influenced by national sentiment. Young gentlemen, with £1,000 to £2,000, were making

were in formation along the great trunk railway lines in
process of construction. These parties generally are organized during the winter, and proceed early in the spring, so the
ditScnIty arose in time to derange many ilans, and to deprive
the United States of much capital and many valuable settlers.
A glance at the companies lately launched will satisfy all that
the attraction of the United States as a field for investment has
been steadily on the increase. The sum lately directed to America has been enormous, but the first breath of the coming trouble
stopped it iostantly, and it will be found much easier to stop ic
than to renew the desire for American investment. Without
grave reason, no statesman should interfere with operations so
important and beneficial but the statesmen of both countries
are, in truth, ignorant of what is going on in this way among the
people, and at Washington they know nothing of the harm done

in question
to
a (oot-way, and a horse railway, for the movement of both passengers and freights. The rates of toll which the company is allowed,
to collect are certainly very moderate
:
1
cent for foot passengers,
3 cents for cattle and horses, 6 cents lor horse and light wagon^
12 cents lor double wagons, 18 cents for loaded carts and drays
and 24 cents for loaded double wagons. With regard to the
approaches on either side, of which the grades are not to exceed
five leet to the hundred, the bill provides that the company shall
have power to purchase and hold lands on either side of the river,
and in case of any disagreement between the company and the
owners of such lands as to the price to be paid for them, their
value shall be appraised by a commission appointed by the
Judges ot the United States District Courts. The location of the
proposed tube ani its approaches are to be determined upon
within six months after the passage of the bill, and the work of
construction is to be begun within a year thereafter, and finished
within 3 years the plan and location to be decided upon subject
to the approval of the United States Englneerat this port.
Thus
far the scheme is a plain one, and though objectionable in some
particulars, would not excite any great opposition.
But at this
point the bill takes a wider scope, and boldly proposes that the
company _shall be wholly iudepenr'ent of State or local authority,
(that is, we suppose shall not be taxed,) and that neither the
Legislature nor the Common Councils of New York and Brooklyn
shall have any right to alter or impair the powers and privileges
conferred upon the company by the act ot incorporation. Of course
there is no real danger of any such scheme getting through Congress. It has no right to pass such a measure or even if it" had, it
would be manifestly improper to place the companies which it might
see fit to incorporate beyond the reach of State or local control. The
proposed tunnel is in all respects a local improvement, and the
approval or rejection of the scheme will of coarse be left where
it

In these expensis are included many iit-m« prope ly belongii.g
to " Extraordinary Renewals" or " Keconstructinn," wliich, on
account of the difficulty of accurate adjustment in the iucompiete
condition of the road, have been charged to " Repairs."
THE CINCINNATI & BALTIMOBE RAILWAT.
The work upon this lino has piogressed sati.Kfaet.irily during
the year, and the road will be completed in the spring of 1872.
The Marietta & Cincinnati Company has subscribed and paid
for $253,400, being over one half of tlie capital s'or.k of the Company. The remainder ol the stock has been disposed of at par.
A perpetual contract with the Cincinnati & Springfiel Cotnpany
was made on May 6, 1871, and subsequently ratified hy the stockholders of the Cincinnati & Baltimore and Viarietta & Cincinnati
Companies, which prov)des th»t the Ci cinnati & Springfield
Company is to pay for the privilesre ot usinir the Cincinnati &
Baltimore road, Iroiu the point of intprsection. about seven miles
from Ciiicinnat', into the city, at the rate of $:3.5,000 per annum,
until the Cincinnati & Baltimore ro»d shall b« double tracked.
After the double tra.jk is 1 lid, $40,000 per annum for five years,
and thereafter $45,000 per annum.
In view of this desirable arrangement, and the consequent
improved value of the bonds of the Company, the price has been
advanced to 90 per cent and accrued interest."
Two hundred and twenty-six thousand dollars of the bonds
remain unsold, l)ut, in order that the work should not be d laved,
the Marietta & Cincinnati Company have advanced $142,008 45,'
in cash, which will be reimbursed as the b(ind> are disposed of.
It has been determined, in view of the inciear-ed tralHt of the
Marietta & Cincinnati road, and the necessity of uroviding amply
for the business of the Cincinnati & Springfield Company, lo construct the double track
and, to furnish means for this expenditure, an additional amount of stock, as provided under the laws
of Ohio, will be issued.
i
;
FINANCES.
Of third tnortwage bonds ^oio.ouj were sold during the year.
The remainder, $400 000, will probably be disposed ot during 1872.
The real estate belonjiiug to the Conii)any, not required for
railroad purposes, valued at about $400,000, has been placed upon
ihe market for sale.
GENEBAL REMARKS.
ratio of increase, established in 1871 over tlie preceding year, continue in 1872, the groris receipts will resell
$2,000,000. Such an estimate may be dee:::ed not unreasonable
in view of the reg .lar increase of every description ot tiafBc, and
as the increase of expenditures will be relatively diminished, it
may be anticipated that the results for 1872 will be better than in
any previous year.
The Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio road, extending from Point of Bocks to Washintrton, by which the distaiica
from the West to the National Capital will l)e reduced forty-nine
miles, will be completed in the spring of 1872.

In view of the great importance of the commerce between this

new bank with pleasure, as affording additional facilities for the
further enlargement ot the business between New York and
Bremen in particular, as well as between tlie United States and
Germany in general. Judging by the gentlemen, composing the
Board of Directors of the Deutsche National Bank and its
Managers in Bremen, as well as the correspondents selected here,
we feel assured that its usefulness and success will bo great.

—
are requested to call the attention of iron merchants and
railroad contractors and builders to a new and seemingly .advantageous arrangement of Mr. J. A. Cottingham, whose card will be
found in our columns. He having had many years experience in
the business has now made arrangements for shipping and forwarding rails to any and all parts of the States at extremely reasonable rates, and he states that the large contracts he has recently
made and the large amount of rails shipped by him gives him
facilities that few can successfully compete with.

has continued very active on specialties, and the volume of trans- Spanish

actions has been of enormous extent. Erie has still been the
great feature of the market, and the purchases here upon foreign
orders have been immense. The stock has fluctuated each day as
shown below in the list of highest and lowest prices. There w%s
for a time a wide difference betw(?en the price here and in LiOndon,
but this has lately declined to about 1^ per cent.; the certificates
sold here are not yet made a " good delivery" by the London Stock

INVESTMENT OF mONEY-WESTERN MORTGAGES.
While Itallrnad Bonds are now about the most popular security
with investors in this market, on account o( the good rates of in.

advertised, than Western mortgages on city and country real estate

THmes, dated Richmond, Va., March 20, states that the Slato
Senate to-day, passed the bill instructing the State Treasurer not
to receive West Virginia certificates as any part of the dejiosits
required of insurance companies of other countries and States
doing business in this State. The billj had already passed the
House of Delegates. The preamble to the bill utterly repudiates
the third of the old State debt, which the certificates represent,
declaring that Virginia is not responsible for, and will not pay
any portion of the thira thus adjudged as West Virginia's share
of the debt.

Jersey and the
New
Western Railroad.— No
rerent
event in railroad matters has caused a, more complete surprise in
Kew Jerhcy than the union of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western Railroad and the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The
netrotiations leading to it were quietly conducted, and the first
intimation that even the stockholders had received of the movement was the announcement made Monday morning in a telegraphic dispatch from Scrant.m, Pa., that the thing had been
done. The magniiule of the interests involved in this great
bargain is threo-fold larger than that involved in the transfer of
the United Railroids, which excited attention in all parts of the
world, and was regarded as one of the most important jonsolidations that had ever been effected in the country. In round
numbers the property placed by this consolidation under one
management is worth nearly, if not quite, $120,000,000.
The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Company
corporation that has risen from comparative obscurity, within
four years, to the position of one of the richest a'ld most powerful
concerns in the country puts into the p'lol a property that has
cost $72,000,000 of actual investment, while the Central Railroad
Company, itself a short local road, but one doing a great and
paying business, puts iu its own and leased lines, worth nearly

Rutland Railroad.— The adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Rutland Railroad Company was held on thelSihinst.,
for the purpose of hearing the report of the Advisory Committee,
appointed at the annual meeting iu January to co-operate with
the Directors in devising a plan to extricate the road from its
embarrassments, and also to see whcfther the vote autliorizing an
issue of bonds not exceeding $1,300,000 should be modified or
rescinded.
The
Treasurer's balance sheet, December 30, 1871, was as
The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad consists of a
double-tracked road, running from "The Junction" near Washington, N. J., through Scranton. Pa., to Binghamton, and includes
the roads formerly known as the Warren Railroad and the Valley
Road. Its length is 143 miles its capital, $30,000,000 its outstanding bonds, $11,000,000. It owns the nowly-built Boonton
Branch, thirty -two miles in length the Syracuse & Binghamton
Railroad, eiglity miles long; and the Lackawanna & Bloomsburg,
also eighty miles in length.
It controls by lease the Morris & Essex
Riilroad from HoboKen to Easton, eighty-four miles, seventy-one
of which is double tracked, with the Newark & Bloomfield and
Chester Railroads. The Utica Division, leased and purchased

should b« added that the money invested in the De1aware<
Lackawanna and Western Railroad is not represented entirely by
its 14.5 miles of road.
The company owns about 35,000 acres o
valuable coal lands, from the product of which a large amount of
the business of the road is derived.
The New Jersey Central Railroad is a double-tracked road extending from Communipaw to Phillipsburg, New Jersey, branching out to Flemington on the south, through Newark on the north,
and connected at its western terminus with the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad. Tlie latter road, which was leased last year
by the Central Railroad, is 105 miles in length, extending from
Philli .sburg through tUe Lehigh Valley across the mountains
into the great Wyoming Valley coal region. The road, with its
branches, consists of 2o2 miles of track. The Central Railroad is
of about equal length, counting its Flemington
and Newark
branches.
The two companies have joined their fortunes together upon
equal terms. The capital stock of each being the same,
$20 COO 000, each shares alike in the profits. By carrying through pasBengers over one line instead of two, by avoiding as far
as posBible the delays mcident to passing the Bergen
Tunnel, and by

of a small sum" for the inaintenai;ceof their organization, amount
ing in all to $350,000 per annum. Although the business done
this year owing to the stoppcge of shipments, consequent upon
the s'trike at the mines will fail to produce an income equal to
the rent, yet the board are satisfied that the lease will result ad

line, without material increase of rolling stock, in conseciuence of
our beinf able to discharge the cars into boats at the end of our
road and return them at once to the mines.
In pursuance of the same policy this company has also obtained
an interest in the New Jersey West L'ne Railroad Company, whose
road is now open from Sunimit Station on the Morris ani Essex
Railroad to Bernardsville, about 14 miles, and of which 13 miles
more are expected to be opened to Newark during the coming
spring. The charter of this company reaches to tlie Delaware

There has been some newspaper comment on this issue of now
stock as a " wate ing" process but there is no similarity between
this issue and what is usually called "watered" stock, as stnckholders obtain it only by paying its full par value, and the addition to capital is made tor the purpose ot adding to the capacity
of the road by permanent improvements, and is entirely legiti;

the rest of the week having been warm and dry, and at the latter
point it has also rained on two days, but our telegram states that
in each case it was slight. Passing over into Aiaba la we find
that at Mob le they have had rain on each day, but one, of the
week. At Selma it was clear the early part of the week, but
it

weather is too cold." Coming up into Georgia the unfavorable
conditions appear to increase
at Macon it has rained on two

and Augusta our ti'legraras state in one case that the " weather
has been extremely unfavorable," and in the other, " weather
bad;" at Charleston it has rained on two days, and yesterlayit
was so cold that ice formed at Savannah it has rained on two
days the latti-r part of the week, but our telegram does not say
anything about its being unusually cold. From the Southwestern
States our reports indicate the presence of unusual cold and snow
in that section also.
Our correspondents at Memphis state that
it rained Saturday last, and to day four inches of snow have
lallen, while from Nashville our telegram says that it has also
rainea there on one day of the week, and to-day there is a heavy

PLANTtNa FOB THE NEXT CROP. In our issue of the 2d of
March was an item with the above heading, the intent of which
appears in some quarters to have been entirely misapprehended.
The object we had in view was simply to induce planters not to
put down all their land to cotton, but to give up a proper portion
to food products.
In always following out this idea consists,
think, the prosperity of the South. The meaning of our
words, however, seem to have been construed by some into an
extiressiou of a belief on our part that the next crop would reach
five million bales or over.
think it can hardly be necessary
for us to say that any such inference from our item is wholly
unwarranted. The crop has not been planted yet, and we think,
therefore, it would be a little premature to determine its
result.
In tha first place, we are not without hope that
the South will conclude to plant their own lood instead
of buying it. Again, it is beginning to look now as if they
were not going to rush so blindly into fertilizers as was at
first indicated.
Finally the capacity of the South to rai.se cotton
with their present labor supply has a limit, though tliere is a tendency to doubt it on account of the wonderful crop of 1870.
Whether they have the labor to raise and save five million bales
we do not care to decide— it is at present such a remote contin
gency, considering that the planting even is very far from being
completed, and in some sections scarcely begun. In writing the
item in question we only had one desire, and that was that the
Mouth would look at and decide the cotton question so as best to
serve their own interest. To our mind the whole problem resolves
itself into two or three simple propositions, and may be stated
somewhat as follows.
are prices so high now? Because
the crop is so short. Suppose we raise as mucii this season as in
what
would
be
1870,
the natural result ? With the same crop
elsewhere, prices would fall considerably and with more raised
elsewhere than in 1870, they might reach a very low point. Now
if any one cares to dispute these propositions we cannot
argue with
them, lor to our minds they are clear and indisputable. Sucli then
being the case, is it not the part of wisdom lor the South
to first
plant all the food the South needs, and then put in all
the cotton
which can be raised economically?

downward tendency of prices, but in some cases a slight advance
has been obtained. The local trade has been much more active,

floating trade also points to lower prices both for wheat and
maize.
On Tuesday we liad a dull trade, and sales of wlieat were only
practicable at a decline. Flour slow, at barelj' former prices,
even Euglish sacks being dilHcult of sale. Indian corn receded
3d. per quarter.
To day we had again a very dull market with scarcely enough
business passing in wheat^to test prices, but even at 2d, per
cental decline sellers could only make slow progress.

increase of business in
some styles of goods,
but only of a spasmodic character, and due mainly to the
arrival of larger assortments from which an accumulation of
back orders could be filled. In fact, it seems, just as difficult as at
any time since the commencement of the year to infuse general
the market, and buyers evidently have a sort of fear
about handling goods beyond their most positive wants. The
accumulation and variety of goods available are now fair, and in
no case are values complained of as unreasonable, but still they

CUFFEB.
There is very little if anything really new or Interesting to advise »n this
market since our last review, business still dragging along at a i-nail's space,
and values with few exceptions having only a nominal basis. All classes o'
the trade are more or less injured by this stagnant and uncertain condition of
affairs, but the lawmakers at Washington seem to think very little of the
interests of the mercantile community, and as long as the duty question re"
mains doubtful just so long may the market be expected dull and unsatisfac.
tory. Stocks have increased largely within a month or so, expenses have
accumulated and values have fallen off considerably, but all this Is complained
of less than the vexatious delay in the argument of the tariff bill, which
intimidates buyers and prevents the movement of goods even at the comparatively liberal terms at which many parcels are available. Some few negotiations have been opened on Brazils, but none to amount to anything, and the
sales completed were unihiportant, while the general range of prices remains
much the same as last quoted and may be said to be fairly balanced. That is,
should any attempt be made to realize It is more than probable that a further
decline would result, while on the other hand it is thought that only a slight
increase of the demand would be necessary to infuse much strength and possibly admit of an advance. The principal holders Interpret the recent advices
from Brazil as fairly encouraging, and are s'ill inclined to assimie an ail of
confidence, believing that time and patience will reward them fully. Weit
India grades of desirable quality have been about the only kind of coffee
distributed from jobbora' hands with any show of freedom, and the result has
been continued negotiations on cargoes. As buyers were not inclined to pay
more than last week, however, and sellers wanted an advance the volume of
business was rather small. East India qualities have been dull and somewhat
nominal, with apparently a want of strength. The stock on hand, already
quite fair, received further additions, and the advices from points of production if not exactly depressing were by no means slimulatiug, and there has
undoubtedly been a better inclination to sell than to purchase. We note 2,100

The anticipations of Importers have In a great measure been realized on
foreign grades, and ihe market generally during the past weiA was in a
healthy and encouraging position, with much life to business, as compai cd
with pa«t few months. The long delayed arrivals began to make their
a« e« effected,
and acceptable prices obtained, affording a better basis for
quotations, and the position now showing a steady tone. Of old crop foreign
there is now little if any in first hands, and the market moy be considered as
over for the season.
The current demand during the week has be.en in the
main for boiling cargoes, and though refiners are not much inclined to handle
more goods than they know they can consume at an early day, their stocks
have become so much reduced that eveu temponiry wauts make a pretty full
outlet. Grocery grades, however, are not neglected, and somo new crop Porto

There has bees a more active but somewhat Irregular market, a few grades
show ng weakness, and others firmness and buoyancy. Some fair sales of
Cassia were msde, but to effect them It was necessary to modify values a trifle
owing to pretty good supplies available and rather discouraging news from
abroad. Kntmegi and mace have also favored Ihe buyer, and can be bought
lower, though It la fair to stole that some of the leading parcels are held above
