Pacific and North Missouri Railroads, and the former road
was sold to the stockholders for $5,000,000. The full amount of
the lien was $13,000,000. Last month, as was reported at the

that it violated the Constitution. In order to settle the matter, it
was agreed by all the parties interested that Governor Woodson
should advertise the road for sale to satisfy the balance of State
lien, $8,000,000, and the railroad company would apply to the
Supreme Court for an injunction to restrain the sale, and a full
hearing of the case should be had.
Late dispatches from St.

seeking employment has somewhat increased, and as the period
of the year has now arrived when our importations of the precious
metals usually increase, and as the general condition of mercantile
and Gnancial business is inactive, there is a very general impression
that there will be no departure from a four per cent rate for some
time to come. In times, however, of rapid communications unex
pected changes take place, and it is therefore not desirable to
attempt to calculate too far into the future. The return of comparative ease in the money market is a surprise to many, as indeed

" To THE Editor
Sir. I have the honor to inform you that
in consequence of the breakage of the 1863 cable, belonging to
the Anglo- American Company, on the 11th March, and of the
breakage of the Prencu Atlantic Company's cable on the 20th

that it is necessary to raisa their tariff for messages between the
United Kingdom and New York, and all places easterly thereof,

The second locomotive was not built until 1834, daring which
were completed. The history of the works after this is but
five
the history of the growth and final development of the locomotive
engine of today.
The first building on the present site was erected in 1835,
which still stands, forming the office, drawing-room and principal
machine-shops of the present works. Since th^n they have been
enlarged from time to time until the works now cover about eight
and a half acres and employ 2,800 hands, turning out about forty
locomotives per month, or one and a halt each day for every
working day of the month. The total number that has been built
is 3,213.

With this plan carried out, it is confidently anticipated, that, at

says:
We should
have provided for this interest from the earnings of the road hu^
for the reduced rates on both freights and passengers since July Ist, 1872,
forced upon the company by adverse State legislation, and which has operated
greatly to the injury of our company. I am happy to say, however, that this
act has been within the last ten days so amended as to authorize an increase
of at least 25 per cent on present rates, and that this will, I am satisfied, so
largely increase the Income of the road as to put beyond all doubt the prompt
payment of future interest.
It is also proper to say that to strengthen the road, in view of projected
lines, which if carried out would be active competitors for the business which
the road should legitimately control, I some time since opened negotiations
for the lease of the road to most responsible parties, by the terms of which the
interest due May 1st and all future interest should be Inlly provided for. The
lease, however, could not be perfected without s{)ecial act of the Legislature
and although A proper bill was introduced early in January, it only became a
law on the 16th Inst. I at once cnme to New York to conclude the negotiations, but in the short time intervening before the 1st of May it was found
impracticable to consummate the lease, but I am assured It will be arranged
within less than sixty days, and the interest now maturing and all future
interest be thus amply provided for.
;
As to the Southern Minnesota Railroad, which was noticed in
the Chronicle of Nov. 16 and 23, 1873, on pages 657 and 691there is little to be added at present. The road is under fore"
closure proceedings in the U. S. Courts, and in due process of
time will be noticed for sale, in case no arrangements should bo
perfected to take the company out of litigation by nego*Jationg
with substantial parlies, of which soms hope is now entertained.

and will do whatever can be done to protect the property, though
he has had to contend against one of the worst winters ever
known at the West, which for a time cut off the earnings almost
entirely.
From all that can be ascertained it would appear to be
'11 advised for landholders to dispose of their securities for what
they can get just now.

any others that may not be registered or funded under the provisions of the

considered that out of more than ($1.3,000,000) thirteen millions retired since
the early part of 1870, no such bond has been detected, tho presumption is
very strong that uono such are in existence. The bonds and coupons presented will, however, be critically inspected, and if any arc found to have
been fraudulently issued, or not issued under laws existing at the time they
were issued, they will be rejected.

I believe
I see no necessity for an extra session of the General Assembly.
the assessment act now in force, will develop a largely increased amount of
taxable property— ample under the present law. to meet the necessities of the
Slate. Should I be mistaken in this, however, and should the assessment
returns disclose the fact that the revenues will not be suflicient to meet the
current wants of the State, after paying tho interest as provided for in the
fnndlng act, the General Assembly will certainly be ciilled together in ample
time to meet the emergency. No means within Ihe warrant of the Constitution
and laws, that may be necessary to protect the plighted faith and credit of the
State, will be neglected or omitted.
' The interest maturing July 1, ;874, can snd will be met out of the revennea
of 1873, even should theie be no improvement in the assessment returns, as a
very simple calculation (including the taxes on pi ivileges) will readily show.
And If any improvement in the levcuue laws should appear necessary to meet
the subsequent instalments of Interest, it can and should be made in tho
assessments and levies of 1874. In any aspect of the case, therefore, there

City Railroad.—
(Returns f&r the Fiscal Tear ended December 31, 1872.)
The Saint Paul and Sioux City Railroad, until October, 1872,
had no through business. At that date the Sioux City & St. Paul
Railroad, which connects with the St. P. & S. City RR. at St.
James, was so far completed as to form a through line between St.
Paul and Sioux City, 270 miles; connecting also at St. Paul \#ith
the Lake Superior & Mississippi Railroad 1.56 miles to Duluth,
and at Sioux City with the Sioux City & Pacific Railroad and tho
Dakota Southern R*llroad. The distance between Duluth and
Sioux City is 426 miles. These roads arc of course not operated
at a profit, and it was not expected that they would be at this early
period of their existence. Their existence promotes settlement
and development, and with these accessories and the through
business which will now come to them the prospect is rapidly
improving of their becoming paying establishments. The year
1872 has been a very severe one, and for four months this railroad
was snow-bound.

About 36 miles from La Mars to Sioux City is yet
under construction; but within the city the company have built
several miles of railroad and terminal sidings for the present
accommodation of their shops located therein. The road was
opened by sections, and as it progressed was operated under the
same management as the St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad, but at
the expense of the S. C. & St. P. contractors. The two companies, indeed, are on friendly terms, and apppreciate the
necessity of their continued unity of purpose, nor is it improbable
that a permanent consolidation may be effected at an early period.
In the construction of the road the counties traversed by it have
contributed liberally towards its cost, and the States of Minnesota

Tlie most conspicuous exception

delay in reto this statement relates to grain, the prolonged
opening the Erie Canal keeping back the needed and customary
supplies. In foreign merchandise there has been a fair distributing trade, but there is a want of speculative confidence and

following table, compiled from Custom House returns, shows
the exports of leading articles from the port of New York since
January 1, 1873, to all the principal foreign countiies, and also the
totals for the last week, and since January 1.
The last two lints
show totai values, including the value of all other articles besides

luarkat for SDOt otton the past week has been dull and
depressed, until today, when, with stronger axounts from Liverpool, there was more doing and a firmPr feeling. Quotations were
reduced ^c. on Monday, and have been since without recovery.
Buyers have appeared to hold off, very little being taken either
for home use or for export.
It may be noted, however, that while
spot quotations were only ^c. below those of two weeks ago,
futures had declined before the recovery of to-day i@|c. for the
later months.
In fact the market for fntures was quite broken
down, but there was sufficient interest to prevent a panic. The
influences tending to deprofS prices were dull accounts from
Liverpool, nlow sale of collon goods, the morn favorable weather
for the growing crop, and better accounts of its progress, together
with largo receipts at our ports and very large shipments from
India. These facts all tended to depress the market.
The lowest
point for futjuros was reached at the close of Wednesday's boslnesB. Yesterday there was some recovery, but with much less
activity.
Today, with Liverpool a shade firmer, there was at
the opening a smart advance, June selling at 18} later there was
a reaction, but towards the close the market again improved,
closing at an advance of 3-16@Jc. The prices for futures last
reported were (basis low middling) 18|c. for May, 18 ll-16c. for
June, 18 13-16c. for July, 18fc. for August, 17ic. for October, and
17 l-16c. for November. The total sales of this description for the
week are 125,100 bales, including
tree on board. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week 4,918 bales, including 2,.53C for export, 2,003 for consumption, 389 for speculation,
and
in transit. Of the above 282 bales were to arrive.

Just subsequent to our last review the market advanced He. on the strength
more active business, and at the Improvement a fair trade has continued
throughout the week. The transactions have not been on a very liberal scale,
though there is, perhaps, more than the usual business under weigh. Later
to the week the demand has become somcwliat slack, in consequence of
buyers having supplied themselves pretty well with stock for immediate use.
The arrivals during the week have run rather large, and this has a momentary
tendency to check operations, although the Bupply is still well under control.

The Inquiry for refining grades
of Cuba molasses Is said to be a little more
active toward the close of the week, but there is still a very limited sale for
these descriptione as the wants of reSners are far from becoming pressing.
Some
stock has changed hands, and the feeling at the close, with sugar somehigher, is more hopeful. The stock of Cuba, all grades, amounts to
3,628 hhds., and prices remain steady at our last quotations, the stock being
held by strong parties. The supply of grocery qualities is greatly diminished,

Trade has coutinaed moderate daring the past week, bat ha*
not shown any material improvement from oar last report, and
the result is something of a disappointment to holders. Retailers
are buying sparingly, the season being too late to warrant very
heavy purohasea on their part now. The distribution of (»]tton
goods has received a temporary check in the break in prices upon
some of the leading lines which has led buyers to look for a still
more unsettled condition of affairs, and gave them less confidence
in the stability of prices.
As soon as they become convinced that
there is to be no further decline there will, in all probability, be
a reaction in trade, and sales will be made upon a more lilieral
scale.
Still an active basiness cannot be expected from this time
forward, and the season will have to be entered as a disappointment. Our dealers report more freedom in the collections from
the interior, which is regarded as a very favorable feature, and
has been of considerable benefit to the trade. Now that money
has relaxed it is hoped that the trade have bridged over their
severest strt^n, and that there will be no serious failures. One
small jobbing house is reported as suspending during the past
week, but this has had no effect upon the general tone of the
led to a slight decline in values.
