element of uncertainty to the market, and un¬
certainty is notoriously the field in which speculation loves to
sport. The perturbation of the market had scarcely begun
from this cause when an announcement was published from
Washington that the balance of trade was heavily,in our
favor,‘so that within sixty days gold ought to come this way
from Europe. This audacious statement was founded on the
official report of the Bureau of Statistics that during the first
six months of the present fiscal year our imports have exceed¬
ed our exports by less than two millions of dollars. Wall
street was astounded for the moment by this unexpected an¬
nouncement, it being also confidently affirmed that as forty
millions or more of government bonds and railway securities
had during that period been shipped abroad gold could not
for a long time be in demand for export to Europe. The ad¬
vocates of this view of the case supported their arguments by
pointing to the market for foreign exchange, which is now
more and more depressed.
Indeed, for several weeks sterling
bills have steadily declined in rates, so that the bankers can¬
not sell bills except at prices which must compete with the
quotations for the large supply of bills drawn against the
shipments of cotton, produce, and other exports.
As to this trade statement it should be remarked, however,
in passing, that although in any view it is extremely favor¬
able, yet there is added a credit item on account of freights

held abroad, or say $35,000,000 of interest, and the total
balance against us will be about forty millions of dollars.
Yet even this is extremely favorable, and especially when we
remember that we began the new year with about 150,000
bales more of cotton at the ports than in January 1869, while
the receipts each week since have been largely in excess of
last year, furnishing us the prospect of increased exports
during the present six months.
There is also another point which the more shrewd specu¬
lators are beginning to realize as increasing the temporary
glut of gold in the market. We refer to the recent action of
the Canadian Government in regard to American coin

superfluous coin. But this drain has received
check; and if the proposed greenbacks of Canada
are not soon put in circulation, the
people of the Dominion
will begin to suffer from the scarcity of currency. The report
is, that the Canada banks have been largely interested,
together with influential Canadian capitalists, in the gold
speculations going on recently in Wall street. Whether this
be so or not, it is a singular coincidence that, at this critical
juncture, the action of the Government of he Dominion has
been so directed as to give a more troubled aspect to the
financial horizon. As regards ourselves, the only important

by the contending speculators on each side of the

of all is the controlling dictatorship which is universally
ascribed to Mr. Boutwell in regard to the gold premium.
This power is
vested in the hands of the Secretary of the
Treasury by virtue of his being the chief if not the only
seller of gold in the market.

having an unlimited aggregateof gold locked up in his vaults,
he has less than $20,000,000 all told. The remainder of the
$102,000,000 he reports in the Treasury is the property either
of the holders of gold certificates or of the public creditors
to whom it has accrued as interest on the public debt.
We offer no opinion as to the vexed question whether gold
is going lower or higher.
No human foresight can with abso¬
lute accuracy solve a problem so complicated.
What is cer¬
tain is, that a singular concentration of temporary circum¬
stances are just at present acting with depressing force upon
the gold market.
What permanent effects may survive them,
and how far the depreciation of gold itself, to which we
referred last week, may come into activity—all these are
questions for the solution of which we have no trustworthy
precedents to guide our decision. However we may be
inclined to argue as to the future, there are few of us who
will deny that now, as heretofore, the Treasury has far too
much power over the gold market, that that power has too
often been used neither wisely nor well, and that it should
be sheltered from abuse by being disconnected from so much
of discretionary uncertainty.
REVIEW OF THE
So far

MONTH.

regards general business, February can scarcely be said
a satisfactory month.
The indications connected
with the opening of the Spring business have not been
altogether
what could be desired. The probabilities have appeared to favor
a good business, taking the season as a whole
; but the commence¬
ment has not been characterized by a keen, active demand.
In
every department of business there is a cautious holding back ; not
so much from
aDy distrust of the ultimate demand for goods, as
from a feeling of uncertainty respecting the future course of values.
An impression appears to prevail, derived from the general aspect
of affairs, that we are drifting rapidly intoja sounder condition of
things, and toward a lower range of prices. This impression is
strengthened by the tone of feeling at Washington. As discussion
develops the sentiment of Congress, the chances for any further in¬
flation of the currency appear to diminish, and the probability
strengthens that some plan for re-funding the debt at a lower rate
of interest will be adopted. As these probabilities strengthen,
confidence diminishes in the maintenance of the gold
premium; and
as each successive decline in gold calls for a reduction in
prices {

London, Saturday, Feb. 19, 1870.

Throughout the country busiuess has been very quiet during tho
present week. The return of severe weather has delayed the trade in
spring goods, and the operations of the mercantile classes have also,
been checked by the disorder existing in the telegraph arrangements
and by the non-arrival of the mails.
Up to the present time the Post.

northeasterly winds which
of the authorities to have made no change in now prevail, and consequently the trade cannot be characterized as
the charges until the whole system had become under thorough and

period of the winter, and to the

The state of trade is somewhat difficult to describe.

If

fore, the demand for spring goods is checked by the coldness of the
weather; and at this advanced period of the winter the trade are by
wi

ling to purchase heavy goods, except to u.cet pressing
requirements. We arc now, as it were, between the seasons, and untiwurmer weather sets in trade is not
likely to be active. The f Bowing
no means

relates to the trade of Manchester

:

.

The market is inanimate, and prices are generally more in favor of the
buyer,
but buyers are indisposed to act unless still greater concessions are made, amt
the result is that little business is done.
Both Cloth and Varus are quiet.
For
home Yarns a reduction is made from Tuesday's rates ; for export-Yarns tlm
reduction is not so decided.

The

public sales of Colonial Wool was commenced on Thursday.
ate much smaller than usual,
owing to the prevalent east¬
erly winds, the total being 72,OuO bale*, against 131,00 * bales at the
corresponding sales of last year, which were only a week later. The
sales have opened with spirit, an! althrugh no quotable change is
noticed, the tendency is decidedly in favor of importers. The actual
arrivals are: From Sydney, 9,400 ; bom Port Philip, 29 364 ; fiom*
Van Dieman’s Land, 447 ; Irorn Adelaide, 8,85b ; fro u N.,av Zealand,
1,748 ; and from the Cape of Good Hop**, 22,(558 biles, making a total
of 72,538 bales.
In reference to the Iron trade, it ia stated that since tho close of last
week there has scarcely anything transpired worthy of
reporting.
Buyers continue studiously to refrain fio.n giving out any but the least
important contracts, their object being, it is believed, to influence the
market in their favor by turther depression.
Iu regard to foreign
requirements, makers entertain pretty sanguine expectations of son e
extensive engagements forthcoming, thinking it evident that the im¬
mense lengths of railways in
progress, and about to he comnenced in
the United States, Canada, and other British colon’es, must necessitate
very large supplies of rails and other railway material.
The Russian
loan, and the piobability of its leading to an early accession of ex¬
tracts from that country, is now beginning to show signs of verifica¬
tion, Russian agents having commenced to make inquiries. There is
only b moJerate export demand for bars, occasional cargoes being
The arrivals

few of the continental markets.

The home trade has yet
shown but little improvement.. The railway companies have
begun to
enter into light engagements, which will propably become more exten¬

Dining the greater pait of the week the money market has been
and bills having one month to run have been discounted at 2$
per cent.
During the last two day?, however, the demand has percep¬
tibly increased, owing, it is believed, to the collection of the taxes,
which i t now making rapid progress. The
position ol the Bank of
England, however, is still ve-*y strong, and a further considerable
increase has taken place in the supply of bullion held

In the bullion market the most

important feature is an active inquiry
dollars, for shipment to China. The ariivals have recently
been large, but they hive all been taken eff the market.
Silver ia
dull, aud there is no demand for gold for export. The following prices
of bullion are from the circular of Messrs. Pixley &, Co :
for Mexican

advances, and the necessary renewals will inenr large
requirements. Iq the Tin-plate trade there ia increasing firmness, and
makers are in a fair way to secure enhanced prices.
What turn the
gold *
Ameiican spring demand will take is anxiously looked forward to, as

upon this mainly depends the future prosperity of the trade.

applications have been invited
for $ 1,00 '/ 00 six per cent mortgage bonds of the Georgia, Brunswick
and Albany Railway at 77, with interest and reimbursement guaran¬
teed by the S ate.
This it is thought, may be entertained ; but
nothing would be looked at withrut a State guarantee, and even ic
such case the chance is greatly affected, “as the new Erie abomination,
the refusing of the tr nsfer of fharee, must extinguish the last spark
of confidence.”
It is now sought, it is said, “to get a market for such"
bonds at Berlin and Hamburg, where they have not yet acquired such
sad experience as at Frankfort.”
In United States’ bonds very little
is doing, but whatever comes to market is taken readily by capitalists,
and the price has not varied more than £ per cent during the whole
week.
The 1874 bonds have been particularly in request.
A new company, called Hooper’s Telegraph Works Company, has
been started, for the purpose of constructing telegraph cabbs.
Messrs. Huggins and Roweell have announced that they are pre¬
pared to receive applications for the first mortgage bonds of the Den¬
ver
Pacific Railway Company, to the amount of $1,500,0; 0. The

Tlie Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, which inincludes among its directors some of the most influential capitalists of
this city and Virginia, have begun, in good earnest, the completion of
their line of road from the White Sulphur Springs, Va., to the Ohio
River. Contracts are now letting for the construction of the weste d-

seventy-five miles of the line, extending from the Falls of KaDOhio, at the mouth of Quyandotte River. This will
enable the company to take advantage of the demand for Kanahwa
coal on the part of the Ohio iron furnaces, which are especially intermost

corporation which has recently been introduced on
the market byMessra. Fiek & Hatch, has appaiently been received
with much favor, as the agents report that no lees than a million and a
half the bouds were taken within the first, ten days.
The importance
of the road, the responsible character of its promoters, as well as the
large amount of road now built, are leading features of this enterprise,
which will merit the attention of investors.
It is to be presumed that
such gentlemen as W. H. AspinwalJ, A. A. Low, David Stewart, C. P.
Huntington, and others, who are in the Directory, would not connect
their names with any enterprise which they did not consider intrinsically
sound, and at the same time profitable Lr the use of their purplus
capital.
lu regatd to Messrs. Fisk ds Hatch, the well known binkers, who are
negotiating the bonds, it is hardly necessary to speak to our readers ;
we would
only remark, in this connection, that there is probably no
firm in the country whose name stands higher at the present m uient,
as negotiators of loans, than
that of Messrs. Fisk Hatch. The high
character of the two important rai’r- ad loans—the Ceutral Pacific and J
the Western Pacific—which have recently been placed by them, and j
the rapid and successful manner in which the business was completed
have been such as to secure for the house a high reputation in this
department or financial oper..lions.

mostly for export, yesterday, at
for prime city and
Texas. Shipping Ilay is firmer.
Hops have declined 2c.,
the advices from London reporting a decline in that market.
Whiskey has declined 2c.
Naval Stoles gave way early7 in the week, but dose with
some recovery.
Oils have been dull, except for Linseed Oil,
of which we notice free sales at a slight decline. Petroleum
in this market is very unsettled.
The principal feature of
to day’s business was large sales (about 10,000 bbls.) of
refined, for April to August delivery in Philadelphia, at 29c.
Provisions have varied somewhat, Lard closing lower, but
Pork, Hams and Bacon show firmness, the two latter not
giving way to any extent to-day under the decline in gold; a
large sale of pickled Hams was made at 14Jc. Cumberland
Bacon 13jc; Western prime Mess Pork $28, with heavy
Mess $26. Beef is very firm w ith a good demand ; it will be
seen that the stock is only Lalf as large as it was last MarchButter and Cheese are decidedly lower.
Wool has become quiet.
Freights show more activity', but at low' rates. However,
Cotton to Liverpool, by steam, was shipped to day at 5-16d
(d;fd, which is an advance; the rate last Friday was £d, not
^d as printed.

The foregoing shows the interior stocks have increased during
the week about 1,700 bales, and that they are now 14,004 bales in
excess of the same period of last year.
Our last week’s total we
have had to change, having received to-night the correct figures
in

place of the estimates given for two

of the ports last Friday.

THE CHRONICLE.

year was in 1860, when it reached 2,523,000 bales, weighing1,079,321,000 pounds. It will be remembered, however, that the
production from it glutted the markets throughout the world with
British goods, even at the low prices then current, so that the
scarcity produced by [our war was the salvation of that trade,
changing impending ruin into wealth. The largest consumption
since the war was that of 1868, when it reached 2.801,940 bales,
weighing 996,197,100 pounds. This was the result of the extreme
low price prevailing—7^@8d. being the ruling rate during Decem¬
ber, 1867, and January, 1868; but this enlarged consumption so
glutted the goods market, that on the higher prices of the succeed¬
ing months of that year the stopping of many of the mills became
a necessity.
Now let us suppose that Great Britain receives from the
American crop an increased supply this year of 400,000 bales, which,
if next autumn’s movement is similar to the last is, as all we
think will admit, an understatement :
Last year’s consumption was

Lancashire “comfortable.”
We may add that the present

number of cotton spindles in
England is computed at 9£ (nine and one-half) per cent more than
in I860-—the greater part of those since built only replacing others
discarded. Counting the increased fineness of yarns produced and
the greater economies of the present
day, it is not probable that
the consuming capacity of the whole now exceeds
by 5 per cent, if
at all, that of 1860.
The exports of cotton this week from New York show an increaee over
last week, the total reaching 9,353 bales,

Friday, P. M., Feb uary 25, 1870.

The market has been completely
commenced ten days ago by Messrs.

unsettled by the action
A. T. Stewart & Co., in

offering Prints at great reductions from tbe ruling market price.
It is useless to speculate as to tbe object of Mr. Stewart in
taking the Trade by surprise with bis extraordinary “ flank”
movement; the fact of the movement and its results are of
more
importance to our readers. It seems to be quite evi¬
dent that the effect will be, and it was intended to be, some¬
thing much more permanent than merely to draw the attention
of buyers to the Dry Goods Palace on the coi ner of Broad¬
way and Chambers street.
The result has already been shown
in a general reduction of prices in prints, in many brands of
bleached and brown goods, and also in imported dress goods.
It may be fairly said that the movement was inaugurated by
the most prominent dry goods merchant in tbe United States,
and his deliberate opinion as to the course of business in the
immediate future, as shown bv this important reduction in
goods, is entitled to much weight. The range of cotton and
gold have recently been such as to warrant lower prices, and
since the first rush at Stewart’s store the tendency of these
has been downwards, confirming in a remarkable manner the
anticipations which be probably held of such a course of
affairs.
The market closes in

During the earlier part of the week there was on ini: roved de¬
mand for tte grades suitable for refining, and the market showed
more activity, with an increased steadiness in prices ; towards the
close, however, the wants of refiners having beeD met, without losing
tl r acquired strength in rates, the aciivPy has subsided and the
market is again quiet.
Amorg the importations of the week some
1,000 hhds. have been re vived directly by refiners. The stock of
n olos.ies shows a decrease from the amount reported at the date of

Bleached Sheetings and Shirtings have been rather more animated
the past week, with sales
slightly in excess of other cotton goods.
Trade in these goods is equally
backward, with other fabrics, in

corn-

pirison with previous seasons, a noticeable activity being forced by the
reduction of prices from
to 2c per yard below standard rates, by a fe^
of the leading jobbers on
special brands. In first hands the market has
ruled quiet, with moderate demand for standard
makes, (hough prices
at the close are weak.

Cloths.—The trade in this line has been rather inactive,
buyers apparently waitirg for lower rates consequent upon the decline
in the raw material, while manufacturers are
exerting themselves to
maintain their figures. The Fall River market is
reported to-day a9
nominal at 7i@7fc.
Prints have experienced some forced
activity, the effect of the
reductions in some of the
leading brands of from ^ to 2}c per yard by
many of the prominent jobbing houses. The trade having i een confined
bo entirely to the
goods offered by dift-rent jobbers at reductions below
rates, it may be said that there has been no regular market for these
goods, and it would seem to be probable that the heavy ‘ drives” offered
by jobbers are an indication of the course of the market for the season.

Woolen Goods are dull and
quiet; with sales only moderate and
far behind those of last season.
Rates remain about as last week.
Dealers complain of the unparalleled backwardness ot the
season, and
many say that without an early improvement in the market a break
will result.
Commission men are now loaded with
goods, and the
demand in any of the departments is without animation.

immediate wants.

Foreign Goods.—The

market in first

hands shows

an

increase in

activity since the opening of the week. Dealers are sanguine that the
Spring trade will be in all respects up to former seasons. The supply

of

goods is limited, and the invoices to arrive light* A good trade,
therefore, is likely to produce a scarcity in the market of all
staple
fabrics, more especially in the Spring style of dress goods. “Drives”
have been offered by some
Lading jobbers. Trade in first hands for the
past month has been from 25 to 50 per cent in advance of former seasons,
notwithstanding the market has apparently ruled so quiet. In white
and lace goods trade has been more animated than
at auy former period
for some years, and prices are firm, without
important change. Linens
have ruled firm at an advance of
nearly 10 per c-nt on fine goods, while
lower grades are 6 per cent above the
previous week’s figures. These
advances correspond with the
upward movement in the European
rnarLets.
Dress Goods are firm in first
hands, with an upward move¬
ment in prices, the more marked in
Alpacas aud Mohairs. In theie
g ods orders have been freely placed at 6 per cent advance.
Jobbers

have realized a fair trade in
light dress goods on account of the
“drives” offered in Lawns, Grenadines and
Poplins, but outside of
these lines business is very light.
