CURRENT TOPICS.
Our State Canals. — The
questions relating to the manage
ment of our State canal system are the most serious now awaiting
the consideration of the Legislature. Notwithstanding the many
which have been made during the past few years to secure
thorough and permanent reforms in their management, and to
make the system a profitable and productive property, we seem
to have fallen far short of accomplishing these ends. It must be
efforts
admitted, therefore, that if the chief object is to make ouj
canals seK-supporting, the system is a failure. It was necessary
last year to raise $3,880,035 in taxes to meet the deficiencies of
the canal fund
an amount more than three times as great as
;
was needed
1868. During the fifteen months onding with
December, the disbursements from the State Treasury on Auditor's
warrants an account of the canals were $7,110,236, and even this
large
in
amount did not include many claims and
certificates of
indebtedness outstanding at the end of the year. On the other
hand, it appears from the statistics published by the Auditor that
the receipts of tolls have fallen off from $4,418,308 in 1808 to
while the percentage of cost of maintenance
on the tolls has increased from 26.86 per cent, in 1808 to 79.94 per
cent, in 1871. In short, our State canal system, saddled with a
debt of some ten millions, is falling beliindhand, and it appears to
$'3314,9.53 last season,
certain
the rai'.road system of tlie Slate should ac<|uirc the lease, is it not
probable that the management would not be in the interest of the
people ? And does not this very question suggest another, and
that is, whether there is not a more important consideration in
management of our canals than merely to make them pay all
the charges that are now brought against them
Cheap transportation of freight is each year becoiiing of more and more
the
'I
importance in the development of our State and country. If, in
selling or leasing the canals, we should throw them into the
hands of a railroad monopoly, we do not think that a gain would
have been secured, even if the lessees or grantees enabled the
State to meet all present canal engagements. On the other hand>
some important points would be secured
first, our politics would
be relieved of that source of corruption and besides, in private
hands, the canals would probably be economically managed.
With proper legislative restrictions in the lease, therefore, it
might be possible to guard against the evils which that mode of
disposing of the canals would otherwise entail.

during the past two weeks, on
an organization said to include the leading refiners
in the country and the railroad companies engaged in the transportation of oil. The corporate name of this organization is the
" Southern Improvement Company," and it claims to represent a
powerful combination to control the oil trade, and by consolidat

Under this comprehensive charter tlie company has been
organized for the ostensible purpose of protecting the refining
interests of the United States, and the railroad interests immediately affected by the petroleum business. Those identified
with the movement claim that, within the past year, a very large
of crude oil has been shipped by the exporters, the
result of which has been the building up of refining interests
abroad, to the detriment of the refining interest at home that in
consequence of this scarcity of business for the domestic refiners,
there has been a ruinous competition among the refineries that
for these reasons the petroleum trade has been a losing one for
and that such losses can only be prevented in
all engaged in it
future by the organization of a company able to handle all the
crude and refined oil in the country, and, by a proper mani
pulation of the markets, secure to both producers and refiners a
good profit the year round. The plan of the association proshall take

having been restored to business channels, the market with stock
brokers has ruled during most of the week at 6@7 per cent, in
regular business hours, and at lower rates late in the day, for unemployed balances. There was more activity in money on Thursday, and as high as 7 per cent, gold, was sometimes paid, while
to-day, Friday, the demand was still sharper, and 7 gold was an
ordinary rate, with some exceptional transactions as high as 1-32
commission in addition to legal interest. The usual rate at bank
has been 7 per cent.
In the present condition of the banks, with their reserves
reduced to a low figure, the market is sensitive, as the very
knowledge that it is now comparatively easy for speculative combinations to make money stringent, engenders a cautious feeling
among brokers.

IForelgn Excliange.— Exchange has been quiet, and without
much variation during the week. The influences upon the market are much the same as when we last wrote. The improvement
in tone noticeable in the London market, and the renewal of demand for American securities by foreign bankers here, together
with the effect of some considerable amounts of borrowed bills
sold, have had an effect adverse to higher rates.

closing to-night at 1104<allOJ. There has been little or no speculative interest in the market, and the price has been left to take a
natural course. The most Important topic of discussion now, as
the course of gold, is in regard to the probable effect of the payment of $40,000,000 5-20 bonds by the Treasup- this month. It
seems impossible to obtain at present any definite information of
the amount of cash gold which will be thrown on our market.
Of the bonds " called" interest ceased on $20,000,000 the 7th inst.,
and on the other $20,000,000 will cease the 20th. On gold loans
the rates to-day for carrying were 3^, 3, 4, and 7 per cent. The
Treasury will sell no gold this month. Customs receipts amount
to $2,725,000 for the week.
The following table will show the course of the gold premium
each day of the past week

North Mi»»onri Railroad second mort(raire 7 per cent bonds,
dated October 1, 1868, nmountintr to 14,000,000. Interest was not
paid on these bonds in April, 1871. and on the 26th of Ausrust
last, the road was pold undir foreclosn re for ^2,000,000, subject to
the first mortpaKe of |0,000,000.
The second mortBaKe bonds
were originally issued to certain parlies in consideration of their
havinis; bought up the claim of the State against the road, and
were liy them marketed at 60 to 80. There is a prospect that on
settlement the holders will receive 50 per cent of the par value of
their bonds. By the foreclosure sale $5,000,000 of third mortgage
bonds and $8,;i57,550 of stuck were cancelled or "wiped out." The
stock sold at 35 a few years since, at 20 in January, 1871, and at 2
in August last.
There were numerous other complications in the
cempany's aflairs, and j articularly in regard to the lien of the
State, and the stock held by the City of St. Louis, which it is not
practicable to refer to herein detail; it is now stated, however,
that the State lien, which was supposed to have been paid, has
been purcha-^ed by the parties referred to, and is now held by
them. The company has been entirely reorganized as the "St.
l^mU, Kansas City & Northern, Itailrond."
D(t Moiuft Vnlley Railroad Vo. : This Company issued
two bonds, bearing each 8 ))er cent. The first issue Is dated in
1857. and is a first lien on the road from Keokuk to Des Moines,
161 miles, and ainounls to |2,:U0.000, about $14,000 per mile.
Ttie second issue, dated in 1868, is known as the Land Grant
bond, and is a first Men on the road from Des Moines to Fort
Dodge, 87 miles, also on lands granted by the United States
466,000 acres and a secor.d lien on the line of road covered by the
—
sha res.

bonds of 1857. This issue amounted to $4,600,000.
Interest on both classes of bonds was i>aid until October, 1871,
wlmn default w^as made on both. The officers of the Company
were then changed, and an effort was made to get the holders of
the Land Grant bonds to take lands in payment for principal and
interest of their lK>nds.
One million and a half have been so
converted, principally by the officers of the Company. On the 5th
of Felirnary the new President of the Company, who is one of
the Trustees on the Land Grant bonds, issued a circular, in which
he says that the taxes are in arrears $30,000 that the interest
paid April, 1871, was borrowed, and proposing that a new company shall be organized. Thi:< proposition has not been acceded
to, and on Thursday, February 20, a meeting of holders of the
bonds of 1857 was held to take into consideratio" tlie propriety
of instituting a foreclosuri^ suit. It seemed to be the o(iiniou of
this meeting that if properly managed the road would earn more
than sufficient to pay the interest on these bonds. As points of
law liad to be examined before action could be had, a co iiiittee
was appointed with full power. The holders of the Land Grant
Iwnds have as yet taken no action towards foreclosure, and these
bonds are now selling at about 45, as they are still exchangeable
report is supplemented with comments, which go
on to say that the revenues for the company for the year have
fallen considerably below the estimate, owing mainly to the detention caused liy the storms which have prevailed throughout
the entire winter. The weather has been unprecedontedly severe,
and precautions which, according to the experience of all previous
years, were ample, proved insufficient.
Everything, however,
that, in the opinion ot the Chief Engineer and general superintendents would expedite the traffic upon the line and secure the
comfort of those who were delayed was provided, and it is
believed that no actual suffering resulted from the detention.
By judicious management in the operation of the line the net
earnings, it will be seen, show a handsome increase over tho«e of
last year and approximate the estimate made in the report submitted at the last meeting.
The bridge over the Missouri, at Omaha, has been pressed to
completion, and will be open in a few days for the passage of
for land.
trains.
:
i
The
named bonds seem to have been issued at a large rate
but only a small amount was sold in the ojien market,
last
per mile,
and those at 00. A meeting of the holders of land grant bonds
is called for the 13lh of April proximo, to take sucU measures
as
may seem
advisable.

THE HECENT 'sNOW BLOCKADE.
OPERATIONS OF TIIE LAND DEPARTMENT.
The operations of the Land Department during the year have been
satisfactory.
The number of acres soldfrom March 1 to December
purchasers has been 192,275 82-100, yielding in
cash $733,581 85, an average of $3 81 per acre. The cash receipts
of the Land Department from March 1 to December 31, 1871, has
been $319,(589 49, and out of these $'2'29,000 of land grant bonds
were cancelled by that department and over $80,CKX) remitted to
the trustees under the mortgage securing the same. Tip to the
close of the year 1871 500,tK)0 acres have been sold in all, yielding;
$2,102,123 !t6 an average of $4 20 9-100 per acre and the amount
of land grant bonds cancelled has been, by the Department $035,000; by Trustees, $251,000; and for the balance, the company land
notes, maturing in one, two and ihree years, with interest. The
receipts have thus far been more than sufficient to take care of
the interest upon the outstanding land bonds.

The percentage
of increase was 13 per cent., being a gain of 6
per cent, on the increase of tlie preceding year.
The price received for moving one ton one mile in 1871 was
1 73-100 cents, being 17-100 of a cent less than in 1870.
The operating expenses were 70 6 100 per cnt. of the receipts,
being 1 26-100 per cent, more than the previous year.
The percentage of working expenses might be materially reduced by charging to capital or construction account various
items of expenditure, which, under the system adopted by the
company, are now charged in the regular working expenses.
The operations of the leased lines have been satisfactory. All
of them show an increase in trade, whilst the Shamokin division
has increased largely in trade and profit.
Owing to the character of our leases and trackage contract for
the use of the line beyond Elmira, we have been somewhat embarrassed in the operations of the Chemung and Canandaigua
roads. To get a more perfect control of those roads, we have
been endeavoring to secure them, either by purchase or perpetual
lease, and hope now to consummate some permanent arrange-
ment.

for the purpose of arranging for the bonded debt of that company, amounting to $700,000, which matures on the 1st of August
next, and for the payment of which we are responsible under the
lease, as authorized by you at your last annual meeting, we sold
12,034 shares of the stock of this company, and purchased a like
number of shares of that company. To meet the bonds referred
to, and to pnrchafse additional coal lands, the Shamokin Valley
&
Pottsville Railroad Company issued a mortgage loan for $2,000,000,
which bonds have been endorsed by this company and the Philadelphia & Erie Riilroad Company.
The Shamokin Valley & Pottsville Railroad Company now own
6,000 acres of coal land— sufficient to provide a large amount of
tonnage for this line, independent of all other sources.

without considerable caution, and the general incliLation is to
allow the importer to carry stocks, especially as the accumulations are fair, there is nothing to indicate any decided increase of
cost, and by holding off there is a possibility, and, in some cases,
a probability of modified values. In short, buyers occupy something of an independent position, and know it.

Without. any great. increase of the amount of
business d^inl or
especial buoyancy on prices, the general
tone of the market
has
improved a trifle during the week, and a
somewhat healthier feel
ing prevails. An idea, entertained in
some quarters, that the
present rates of import duties will not
be disturbed at all and
a
very general impression that, even if
changes are made, nothing
w.
go into effect before the 1st of July, has
a tendency to par
tially restore confidence and
induce the purchase of goods likely

TEA.
While there has been no decided recovery of tone, and the movement of
goods so far as reported is not unusual, the market has shown a better
general condition than last weelc, and dealers were correspondingly encour aged The belief that the duty will not be meddled with for several months,
has had the effect to induce small dealers and some interior buyers to come
forward and look up supplies for early wants, and this improvement in the
tine trade has been felt on the wholesale market. Jobbers are by no means
inclined to handle large amounts, and nothing unless they are almost certain
of finding a re-sale at an early day but a good many are examining invoices
suited to their special wants. A few sales have been made, and the previous
;
almost prostrate condition of business sttems to have at least partially disappeared. In some cases prices are a shade easier, and this helps trade a
little, but the reduction is unimportant, and the position has a generally steady
tone. The sales iu^involces embrace 2,600 Greens, 1,900 Oolongs, and 500
Japans, beside a few other parcels not reported.
Imports this week have included 221,201 lbs. Black, per "Catharine,"
from Ilong Kong, and 631,551 lbs. Japan, per "Mikado," from Yokohama.

COFFEE.
The volume
of actual business has not greatly increased
and the market
daring the pas* week again showed a pretty dull tone, but the feeling of
extreme prostration has in a measure become broken and the outlook is now
more encouraging. There is an inclination on the part of the great majority
of buyers to postpone operations until after the argument on the tariff question in Congress which is expected to take place on Monday next, the llth
inst.; but the assurance that if a change is made in the tariff it will not go
into effect before the first of July, and a growing belief that no change will
be made at all has a strong tendency to restore confidence, and those who
really want goods iiave been looking and some have already opened negoti"
ations. The bids thus far as a rule have been low, indeed rather under the
views of the least sanguine of holders, but it is a decided relief to even find
bids current, and as matters became straightened out and understood an
increased movement is looked for. Jobbers commence to find their customers
more attentive, some through personal attendance and some through inquiries
by mail, and considering the previous apathy the distribution for the week
has been very fair and included nearly all the leading grades. With a better
opportunity afforded to judge of values by the revival of interest among
operators, it is at last possible to fix upon something like a fair quotation for
Brazils, and the revised figures show a considerable reduction from previous
nominal rates and are based on a few actual sales. The long period of dullness was of itself almost sufficient to modify the cost, but additional depressing influences were to be found in large accumulation now on hand and rather
less encouraging accounts from Rio Janeiro. The offerings at the lower figures,
however, are in the main from outside and irregular parcels, the principal
holders rather resisting a decline, and some in fact stating a preference for
buying rather than selling at the present cost. Of the East and West India
styles there is a goodly amount here and a very fair assortment, but holders
think much better of their stock than a week ago, and generally display a
pretty firm tone for all desirable parcels. Sales of 1,672 bags Rio. 1,600 bags
Maracaibo,i]50 bags Jamaica. 800 bags Costa Rica, and 4,409 bags Lagnayra
Imports this week have included 4,857 bags Rio, per " Sidouian," and 2,960

ehonld a few days of favorable winds prevail, but mainly owinf; to
a small and iinremuncratlve outlet neither the trade or relluers flndin-; their
orders iucreasiiiK to any extent, and the latter class of operators flndin:; it
almost impossible to keep the production low cnoui;h to prevent an accuinulalion except they cease work, and this would be even more expensive than to

We do not hear any complaints about importc'rs e.<vaeli>ip
too much for their goods, tluiUKh current rates are not called low, but the
main trouble is the uncertainty about re-sales, and the evident inclination of
the interior dealers to keep their movementa on a close basis of actual wants,
a course of action which is followed in turn by buyers here. The assortment
available thus far lias been very fair, though containing a somewhat larger
pro|>ortion of the higher Rrades llian usual, and Cenlrifu:,'als have in conscqnon4-i' proven a little the most seusitivc to depressing intlnencca. Kcfincd

While not particularly buoyant or developing features calculated to lead
to the belief that a free outlet would be provided for stock, the general tone
of the market lias, if anylhing, been a little more encouraging.
Old crop is
ess plenty, and as there is now and then a little call covering even the poorest
lotJ<, wlilch are wanted for distilliii;;, hoidera ask full rates and ofler with
moderation. The new crop has scarcely come forward with the freedom anticipated, and as most of the unsold arrivals thus far have attracte<I enough
attention to keep tne market comparatively bare of stock, importers feel
greater confldence, and some talk rather llmier, though hardly inclined as yet
to ask a decided advance. Boiliu;; grades liavc attracted the most attention,
and as refiners gradually resume the prodtictioR the demand is likely to increase. Domestic has increased in value and decreased in stocic, with wliat
remains on hand well under control and owners somewhat indilferent about
selling, as there is thought to be nothing available at any other point to come
I nto competition.
For 8yrupa the Inquiry has kept up well, and many of the
sales ctTecled were at fully 8c. per gallon over the lowest point, with a firm
tone still preserved. The low grades of molasees stock and sugar stock from
about good np, have been the favorite q ualities. Sugar-house molasses is
wanted, but the reduced stock checks bnsiness and makes values little better
Ciiha,
t4(!i)4 50.
Domestic Dried.— Apples have been in light demand and prime lots are
somewhat scarce and rule firm. Peeled peaches quiet. Un|>o«led aeilliig
moderately, but all other kinds of fruit very quiet. Nuts of all descriptions
in scarcely any demand, and stock gradually accumulating.

no material variation in prices on
any line. Brown and bleached goods continue to be firmly held,
and prices have been generally revised to correspond with the
established rates in first hands. The stock in first hands continues light, but some makes, chiefly of the medium and lower
grades, are beginning to accumulate in small amounts. Colored
cottons are relatively low, but are still slow of sale, and are not
likely, apparently, to be much higher during the remainder of
