At present what do we see? Everywhere there is a

In these figures there is a notable
improvement, which becomes even more conspicuous in
February, and this gratifyirg increase was still going

Turning to the other side of the account, Mr. Roberts
compared the expenditures for the same period for the last
three years. He showed that the disbursements for 1874
were less than those of the
previous year by $2,440,634.
From these data he deduced two conclusions. First, that the
four millions increase of the navy expenses on account of
the Cuban trouble would not force up the whole of the
government disbursements of the year beyond the level of
those of 1872-73.
Next he contended

has given to this general purpose which Mr. Dawes had in
view.
If, as is argued, the remedial measures advocated by
Mr. Dawes are actually on their way through the several
committees, let the members of these bodies show which of
their number are most in earnest. Let them bring forth
the fruit of those anxious labors from which so little has
emerged, though so much is hoped. They may accept and
apply here without hesitancy and without fear the memor¬
able injunction “'That thou doest do quickly.”
In the second part of his speech some admirable princi¬

us that Yale College, of which Mr. Roberts is a distinguished

surprised oh Monday
by the announcement from Washington that the government
would sell $3,000,000 of gold during the month of March—
$1,000,000 on the first and third Thursday each, and $500,000 on
the second and fourth Thursday each.
This announcement, and
the sale of $1,000,000 this week in pursuance thereof, together
with the reports that Secretary Richardson intended to issue no
more of the extra legal tenders at present, had the effect of caus¬
ing a weaker feeling in gold and a decline to-day to 111 J- as the
the lowest point touched. It was also stated to-day that Senator
Sumner would soon introduce a bill to issue $50,000,000 of U. S.
bonds, with the proceeds of which the additional legal tenders
already issued "would be retired. So far, too, as speculation is
concerned, it is probable that those who favor an upward move¬
ment are not unwilling to see lower prices just now, as this may
he the means of creating a short interest.
At the sale of $1,000,000 on Thursday the total bids amounted
to $4,197,500.
On gold loans the rates to-day were 3, 3^ and 2
per cent for carrying.
Customs receipts for the week were
$2,579,000.

Foreign Exchange —All the wants of
were
supplied last week by the sale of bills against the negotiation of
railroad bonds, as noticed in our last report. In consequence of
this, and the fact that there is but little demand for bills, while
the supply of exchange from cotton is drawn against 80,000 to
100,000 bales exported weekly, the market has been very quiet,
and the tendency to-day was toward easier rates.
We have not
heard of any further large amount of bills drawn against rail¬
road loans, but the same firm which placed the Baltimore & Ohio
Bonds has also placed $5,000,000 in London for the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, the proposals being about eight times larger than
the amount of bonds offered for sale.
There was scarcely any
demand for exchange this afternoon, and it would have been
difficult to sell £50,000 at anything Llike full rates.

holders and creditors of this company contains the proposal of the
company, which was somewhat iucorrectly stated in dispatches
published a short time since. The holders of the $3,000,000 first
mortgage bonds are asked to fund the coupons due January 1 and
July 1, 1874, and January 1 and July 1, 1875, and the holders of
the second mortgage bonds to fund the coupons due April 1 and
October 1, 1874, and April 1 aud October 1, 1875, in the consoli¬
dated mortgage bonds of the company, at the rate of 85 and
accrued interest; interest on the matured coupons, at 7 per cent,
to be deducted.! The coupons shall be placed in the hands of
trustees, to be held as security ; and in case of default on the new
bonds'the holders can get back-the coupons with their rights
unimpaired. The floating debt creditors are requested to fund their claims in
the company’s bonds at the rate of 85 and accrued interest for the
consolidated bonds, and 90 and accrued interest for the second
mortgage and Shelby Cut-ofFbonds.
More than one-fourth of the bondholders and a large part of

of that time amounted to something more than $450,000.
The plan of reorganization which was submitted to a meeting

resumption of sales of gold by the Federal Government
was, through the decline which resulted in gold, a disturbing
influence in trade circles early in the week, producing some de¬
pression in prices of domestic products, and a disposition to
operate for a further decline. But this was followed by an early
reaction ; and, with some improvement in the demand for foreign
goods, there is now a better tone generally. There is good
prospect of the entire resumption of inland navigation at the
North and West, at an earlier date than usual.

Coffee has
materially advanced, with much activity in Rio»
quoted at a recovery of 2c. gold per lb. from the lowest
point, with sales of about a dozen cargoes and invoices at 244^
26c. gold, and the whole range quoted at 234@274c. gold. Other
coffees are lc. higher, with Java at 29@31c. gold. In rice the
most important business has been about 10,000 bags Rangoon and
Patua, part for arrival, but mainly for export, the Rangoon going
$3 50@$3 55 gold, per 100 lbs. Molasses has been in good de¬
mand, with sales of several cargoes of boiling grades of new crop
Cuba Muscavado: at 331c., and good to choice New Orleans at
66@74c. Sugars have been fairly active, with an upward ten¬
dency, owing to the stock on the 1st inst. proving to be 3,000
libds. less than the current account; fair to good refining 74@7fc.;
common to choice Centrifugal, 8@8|c.
There has been some re¬
vival of speculation in-hog products, mainly for the future on
Western account, and at the same time shippers have entered the
market and paid higher prices for current supplies. Yesterday
new mess pork sold to the extent of several thousand
bbls. at
$15 90@$1G for spot and early delivery, and $10@$16 10 for
May, prices which in„the former case show a recovery of 50@75c.
per bbl. Lard was in demand on the spot at 9|$9 7-lGc. for prime
Western steam, and sold largely for May at 9|c.
Bacon also
advanced, with sales of some 4,000 bxs. at and on the basis of 8|c.
which is
for short clear.
Pickled meats
were
also
firmer.

Beef has been
tending upward, being in light stock. Butter and cheese very
strong, but closing less active. To-day new mess pork was
quoted at $16 for all deliveries. Lard was a shade firmer, and
prime Western brought 9 7-16@9£c. on the spot, and 9$c. for June,
but closed quiet.
Bacon was held at 9c. for long clear. Cheese
was dull at 15@17c, for fair to prime factories.
Freights have been dull. The speculations in domestic mer¬
chandise of a bulky character have restricted the movement for
export. Still, with only a moderate extent of room available,
rates have been well supported.
Late business embraces wheat
to Liverpool, by steam, 8,000 bush, at 10£d.; bacon at
45s.; to
London, by sail, grain at 10J., and flour at 2s. 9d.; to Cork for
orders, grain at 7s, Od. short lay days; petroleum at 7s, to
Gibraltar for orders, and 7s. 6d. to a Swedish port.
To-day busi¬
ness was dull, owing to the higher prices demanded for
grain.
Fruits have been dull and prices drooping, Metals have been
very quiet, and prices without essential change.
Hides are
steady. Tallow has declined to 7^@7|o. for prime. Clover seed
has sold at 8£(a>10c. for common to choice,
closing at 9Jc. for
prime Western. Whisky deolinad to 96c., with “considerable
activity, There has been a good business in wools at full prices,
and stocks are now quite reduced. Petroleum has declined to
I4$c. tor refined in bbls., and 6£c. for crude in bulk. Strained
rosin has declined to $2 40, and spirits turpentine to
47£c., lead¬
ing to more business. Oils have been without essential change
Kentucky tobacco has been dull, and the sales of the week are
only 100 hhds.; prices are weak, with lugs quoted at 5@64c., and
leaf at 8@12£c, Seed leaf, on the contrary, has been quite active
aud the sales (all crop of 1872) have been 561 cases Pennsylvania
atfl£@16c., 206 do. Connecticut at 5J@lQ^o., 1,237 do. Ohio*at 640

Superintendent Of the Savannah Cotton Exchange, received this

2. Our readers are aware of the usual movement of cotton
overland from Mobile, for which, in making up our annual crop
report the last two years, we have had to make allowance. This
season the amount moving in that direction
appears to be larger
than ever before. Over 40,000 bales have been thus shipped from
Mobile north up to this date.
A letter from Mr. Cunningham,

been made, especially
late, to attract attention to and develop the capabilities of Port
Royal as a shipping port. It is very interesting to notice the
first results of these efforts in the export of cotton to Liverpool
this season. We have given in our shipping news on a previous
occasion the facts as to previous shipment, an 1 in our telegraphic
figures of exports to-night we include 2,300 bales from Port
Royal to Liverpool. We are also informed that there is another
vessel loading.

Gunny Bags, Bagging, &c.—The market for India cloth rules
quiet, at 10c. currency. There has been some speculative inquiry
for cheap lots, but buyers are not disposed to advance over 94c.;
300 bales have been sold at this figure. Borneo is held at 12f $13c.
The stock in New York at present is estimated at 10,500 bales,
and in Boston 4,700 bales, making a total of 15,200 bales against
a stock of 26,400 bales last year.
Gunny bags rule steady, with
no transactions reported.
We quote 13c. cash. Domestic bag¬
ging is held firmly, at 12?c. cash for present deliveries, and
13£c. for April and May. We hear of no extensive transactions.
Sales of jute butts in February were quite large, aggregating
some 38,000 bales on spot and to arrive.
At the close we note
mere
willingness on the part of holders to meet the views of
buyers, which is attributable, no doubt, to tiie February ship¬
ments proving larger than anticipated. The March shipments are
estimated at 20,000 bales, and should they not exceed this we
look for a return of the late firm feeling among holders.

a
northern port; to reach such port
some lots
go through Savannah, and the most of the balance
through Charleston and Norfolk.
Receipts and Crop.—A feature of the receipts this week is
that the arrivals for the seven days at the interior ports are 622
bales less than for the same week of last year.
This has been
construed by some as evidence of the exhaustion of the supply,
and indicating that the receipts at the ports from this time will
not equal the movement for the corresponding
weeks of 1873.
We cannot egree with this conclusion. Our information is quite
positive that there is more cottou in the interior than there was a
year ago, and though it may for a time be held back on account
of the low price, we do not see how, during the balance of the
season, the present excess in the port receipts can be diminished ;
we think it is much more
likely that there will be a still further

DRY GOODS TRADE.
Friday, P. M., March 4, 1874.
The general dry goods trade has exhibited much the same
features as we last reported. The increase of business consequent
the advance of the season has been restricted entirely to the
jobbing department of the trade. The movement from first
hands has been light, and the market for some lines of cotton
fabrics has softened a little, although the accumulation of most
makes has not yet become so excessive as to cause a serious depres¬
sion. The arguments that we advanced some weeks ago, how¬
ever,’regarding the unwarrantedly high range of values current
upon all cotton fabrics are shown to have been well founded, and
the gradual shrinkage of values seems to be inevitable. It is
manifestly an unhealthy state of affairs when goods are so far
above their relative value as compared with the cost of the raw
material, the price of labor, etc., as to deter buyers from operating
beyond the meagre necessities of their current trade. Yet this
has been the condition of our market throughout the present
season, and until buyers are met on a fair basis we cannot look
for much activity in the trade. There has been a good attend¬
ance of Western, Southern,
Southwestern, and near-by buyers
during the past week, and jobbers have been kept fairly busy
though the aggregate movements were not as liberal as might
have been expected from so numerous an attendance.
Collections are reported easy throughout, and nothing is beard
regarding financial difficulties, the only cause for complaint being
upon
,
the undue backwardness of the trade.
