At Manchester, business has been very quiet
owing to the dullness of the Liverpool cotton market, in wi ich produce
has been freely offered at a reduction in price.
At Leeds, and in the woolen districts generally, ttade has been firm,
although the demand for certain epiiog styles has been checked by the
coldness of the weather. A fair amount of business has, however, been
carried on, and prices generally have been well supported.
The money market, this week, has ruled active, and scarcely any
accommodation has been obtained under the bank rate of 3,per cent*

much noticed in

wools, which were in very good supply; but yellow wools, which in
nearly all descriptions were proportionately scarce, were well competed for, and
brought almost invariably better prices, whilst grey and fawn wools partici¬
pated more or less in the general advance. The few'native wools offered were
eagerly taken, but on Persian wools, although in pretty good demand, no ad¬
vance was established.
The selection, on the whole, was better than
usual, aud
though the result in face of the small quantity to be brought forward scarcely
came up to the
anticipations of holders, of the 10,373 bales offered in all, only
517 bales were taken in. and these consisted of part of the second hand
parcels
ofi’ered, the total of which was about 2,700 bales. Prospects appear good, and
any change to be looked for at our next series will, we venture to believe, be
towards an improvement in prices for all really useful
qualities.

large amount of business has
been transacted, at an advance of 1b. to 2s. per quarter.
The weather
has been cold, and by some fears have been entertained that the fruit
trees, which are now luxuriant with blossom, wouli suffer injury, and
that the crop of fruit, instead of being heavy, as was expected, would
be deficient.
At present, however, I believe tl-at there is no cause of
anxiety, for although the night temperature is low, there i3 no rain,and
it is chiefly when cold rains and frostR succeed each other that injury to
the crops results.
Duiiug the last six weeks scarcely any rain has
fallen, and to-day the weather is fine and brilliant, although the wind
blows cold.
With regard to the crop of grass, the impression seems t0 (
be that it will tie light.

plethora
of national currency also i3
steadily augmented. The receipts of
money from the interior are chiefly in that form of
currency, in ad¬

Treasury has paid for 82,000,000 of bonds,
bought this week, in the proportion of two-thirds in bank notes.
This large accumulation is of no value to the
banks, but rather a
loss, as they would readily exchange the notes for

The lo m is convertible into the stock of the Company until 1879.
The Board entertained the hope that the business ot the year woui 1
show such satisfactory results to the stockholders as to create a de¬
mand for the new bonds by reason of this privilege of conversion. The
freshet iu October not only reduced our receipts, and rendered neces¬
sary heavy expenditures iu repairs, but delayed the negotiation of the
loan. The loss of receipts and increased expenditures amount* i to
fully $500,000, which sum and the proceeds of the loan would have
relieved the Company of fl tating liabilities.
I he Board Iook forward
with confidence to the funding of this indebtedness at an early period.
In October, 1867, the stockholders were invited to subscribe to a 6
per cent ten year convertible loan of tlie C unpaoy, to the aggregate
amount of $3,300,000.
The subscriptions receive I amounted to about
$1,200,000. During 186? a small portion ot the remainder was issued
in payment for equipment and purchase of coal lands, and there r mains of the amount originally authorized about $1,300, 00 available

Among Provisions, we notice in the past two days a
marked decline in Pork and Lard. The late
advance seemed
to have
materially curtailed the regular demand for consump¬
tion and shipment,
especially of Lird. Beef has been doing
better, for all kinds, favored by advancing foreign markets
and a light stock.

The
stated
of

663

of increased
shipments from Bombay which we
in circulation and
depressing the market at the close
last week’s report,
proved to be

rumors
were

our

true, and the next

day
buyers generally withdrew, and holders were more inclined to sell.
This feeling of depression was increased
on
Monday by heavy
receipts at our ports, prices yielding about 4c.
Tuesday the same
causes operated
unfavorably, and prices took another tumble, mid¬
dling uplands reaching 23c. again. On
AArednesday tlie closing
Liverpool advices were rather better, and this fact,
together with
the falling off in the receipts at our
ports, gave an ’improved tone
to our market, and the close was
stronger. Thursday, the earlier
dispatches by cable showed a steadier feeling, and prices here
advanced $c., and most of the transactions of the
day were, done at
the advance, but later the market was
weak, and has so continued
to-day, with, however, hut slight change in quotations, tlie advance
of yesterday being
mostly maintained. At the close there is a
general disposition to suspend operations until reliable information
as to the
Bombay movement for tlie week is received, and tlie effect
of our large
receipts on Liverpool is seen. For forward delivery
there has been much less excitement than
there was last week,
and prices at one time yielded about
lc., though at the close there
is some recovery. AVe notice sales of
1,400 hales for next October
at 19£@l9£c.
Total sales of the week for forward
delivery reach
22,350 hales (all low middling or on the basis of low
middling),
of which 3,550 hales were for
May, 100 at 22$, 300 at 22* 250*at

The New Crop.—The reports we have
received this week with
regard to the new crop are on the whole favorable, though from
some sections we hear that the weather has
continued so cold as
to

prevent the healthy development of the plant. Too much
promi
nence is, we think,
being given in many quarters to tlie extent of
land put under cotton this year.
No importance whatever should
he placed upon the increased cultivation as
yet, since if we have a
rainy time during the next six weeks it would he simply
impos¬
sible for the labor in the South to
keep the present area free from
grass, and a good portion would have to he abandoned.
It is much
as if the
planters had plowed more land than they were able to

seed down.

telegrams

received by us tonight from tlie
Southern ports we are in possession of the returns
showing the
receipts,-exports, &c., of cotton lor the week ending this evening
May 20. From the figures thus obtained it appears that the
total receipts for the seven
days have reached 44,005 bales (against
58,286 bales last week, 57,806 bales the previous week, and 50,564
bales three weeks since), making the aggregate since
September 1.
1860, up to this date, 2,710,026 bales, against 2,020,252 bales for the
same period in
1808-0, being an increase this season over last season
of 698,771 bales.
The details of the receipts for this week (as per
telegraph) and the corresponding week of 1869 are as follows:

And yet we do not wish to he understood as

to be the fact.
But there is an evident disposition to
look at tlie
area planted and then
pass directly over to the autumn, and with
fine weather at that period to
expect a large yield ; whereas,
unless we have a favorable summer, so that the cotton
may come
up and develope “ even,” and chopping out and first and second

plowing and cleaning he timely, the labor supply would find it
impossible to handle the crop, and it would be short, notwith¬
standing the autumn was splendid anil no frost till January.
Hence we say the first question must be, what is the amount of
land under cotton taken into the middle of
July in good condition.
Settle that point, and then one very
important step in the progress
of the crop has been secured.
But the planting of more or less
land is, with our presents upply of labor, of little
significance until
that point is reached.
Receipts—The receipts this week have continued on a
very
liberal scale, and confirm very strikingly our remarks on “ Re¬
ceipts, Ac.,” in our issue of February 19, when we stated “that
there were still piles of cotton at all the
landings on the south¬
western rivers which were
being replenished so

rapidly from the
plantations that all the boats actively employed in freighting cot¬

ton to New

Orleans could

not reduce

them.”

ports during each period of five weeks, and intimated that tlie
weekly totals would probably equal “ 70,000 hales per week for the
next five weeks, and 50,000 hales for tlie five weeks
following.”
This latter statement was at tlie time considered
by some of our
friends excessive, and as tlie Southern rivers became
unnavigable
during the next three weeks, its fulfillment was delayed; hut i t‘

GROCERIES.
Friday Evening. May 20, 1870.

Taking the aggregate bu3ine3s for the week, we again find that
a very fair amount of
goods has changed hands, without, however
making any great impression upon the accumulation, as in nearly
all cases the arrivals have fully offset sales. Values have fluctu
ated to some extent, but no
permanent advantage appears to have
accrued to either buyer or seller, and in ihe
leading markets a
feverish, undecided tone is noticeable. Inland navigation is now
restored, and a slight increase of orders has resulted therefrom, but
buyers are not operating with the freedom anticipated, and many
holders

are

less confident of

an immediate outlet for their
supplies,
though all refrain from forcing trade, os such a course wou’d, under
the existing state of affairs, necessitate much lower rates. Coffee
is held steadily, but at too high figures to meet a free
response from
consumers.
Teas more active and fine
qualities firmer. Sugars
have sold fairly at a shade better
rates, but buyers continue to cal-

Holders of the stock of Brazils do not appear to have lost confidence to any
extent since

our

few invoices

or

last, not enough at least to induce a modification of view, and
be bought upon terms easier than those current one
week ago. The demand, however, has proved far from active or encouraging,
and it is becoming evident that the interior is either better supplied with goods
than was anticipated, or that the consumption is greatly curtailed by the higher
cost.
Jobbers all report a small distributive trade, and a very cautious spirit
on the part of buyers.
The stocks now here in first hands cannot be called
large and the arrivals are slow, but enough to add somewhat to the accumula¬
tion. At the auction sale of Santos fair prices were obtained, but only abou^
one-half of the offering sold.
West India styles remain comparatively quiet,
as most of the trade are fairly stocked, but the general range of values is well
supported and holders are indifferent operators. Java is firmer at an advance
of
per lb. and selling quite freely, thoughjobbers are doing the bulk of
the business from the liberal purchases recently made in neighboring cities.

tive movement, and the business doing appears to be simply the result of the
legitimate wants of the trade. On the general range of quotations no altera¬
tions are called for, but for really fine chops of Green there is a,stronger feel¬
ing, as these qualities are particularly sought after, and though not exactly
scarce, form the smallest proportion of the assortment, which otherwise is fully
up to the wants of the hour, and liberal in quantity: Invoices have sold to the
extent, of 5,742 Greens, 6,697 Japans, and 4,950 Oolongs.
Imports of tea have included 320,700 lbs. Japans per V' Westbury,” from

SUGAR.

.

Importers and holders generally of raw sugars have continued to express a
feeling of confidence in the future, and a large proportion of the receipts have
again been placed in store to await the anticipated reaction- Enough stock has
been available, however, to meet all outlet, and in one or two cases odd par¬
cels on pier were rather forced for sale.
Early in the week the demand was
quite slack, but subsequently improved both on local account and to supply
orders from Philadelphia refiners, imparting for the time being a more steady
feeling, but prices have lacked a healthy and uniform tone, as a rule, and it was
very evident that all purchases were based largely if not solely upon immediate
necessities. In fact, buyers claim that the distributive call docs not warrant
them in laying in any larger supplies than months ago, and that notwithstanding
prices are comparatively low and sellers resisting a decline with great tenacity,
the immense and constantly increasing stocks make it quite a safe matter to
postpone operations until consumers manifest a desire to handle more goods
than at present. Refiners continue to show a decided predilection for fair grades,
and “fair refining” has ruled relatively stronger than other qualities. Grocery
grades have sold to some extent, hut not freely. At the close the general mar¬
ket shows a more steady tone, and is quite active. Refined goods bave sold
with comparative freedom and ruled steady, particularly Hards, of which tne
snpply was small. The movement in raws embraces 8,259 hhds. Cuba, 1,213 hbds

“Sugar.—Clayed.—The quo¬
tations per cable from London and New York were the
same as last
week, and
our planters have continued to exact
previous prices. In spite of this, the
market has exhibited more
activity for all grades, and since last issue about
35,000 boxes have changed hands.
Notwithstanding that the siocks at this date
are in excess of those at same time

to some extent, and holders are so firm year, the scarcity of fine goods is felt
in their pretensions that

have to be granted in some instances in

particularly interesting to present in
this market, no
goods being available except at very full
figures, and as the
stocks are evidently under
thorough control, holders are indifferent about
operating except upon their ow’n terms. Jobbers are the
principal holders and
are
evidently seeking to concentrate as much as possible the desirable
cargoes
en route for this
country. No large invoice sales are reported.
FRUITS.

During the first

three days

immediately following

last, report, the market,
for foreign dried was
heavy, and importers w’ere disposed to accept lower
prices. Since, however, there has been an
improved feeling caused by small
receipts and prospects of an entire falling off, if
prices remained as at
present, below cost, of importation. Dealers buying heretofore
only enough
for immediate
wants, on realizing this have come in and
bought quite
largely, consequently there has been an improvement in
prices, New
Layers advancing from $3.87h to 3.95@4.00, and most other articles
on our list
proportionately. A lot of 2,000 boxes old Layers (said to lie the last lot of
prime) sold to-day at $3.00 per box. The new

THE DRV GOODS TRADE.
Friday, P. M., May 20, 1870.

The market has

presented

slight increase in the volume of busi¬
ness this week.
The storm of the previous week served to
keep
back the country trade, and at the time of our last
report tLere
were but few
buyers in town. Many of the buyers from the near
South appear in the city for the second time, and some are even
maki g their third visit.
With the more remote sections of the
South business has been done largely by orders. The
current
trade is only moderate in extent, and is confined to such styles and
fabrics

as

are

a

most seasonable.

The chief call is for

staple cotton

goods and thin dress fibrics.
The woolen trade

improves slowly,

the business of clothiers
jobbers for light weights,
both in fac'd goods and cassimeres, to
supply the wants of the
tailors, the most active iuquiry being for cheviots, both plain and
in colors, and plain and fancy trowserings.
The gene al market is without notable
change in any particular.
The prices of some heavy cotton fabrics have been shaded a
trifle,
with the hope of stimulating sales. The
greater portion of our
list, however, remains unchanged, and quotations are apparent
increases.

There is

some
