increased. One manufacturer of knit goods has informed
us this very week that his machinery is running to its
full capacity, night as well as day, and that he has sold

impulse is manifest on all sides, and finds outward ex¬

COMPTROLLER KNOX'S REPORT.
The sixteenth annual report
of the Comptroller of the
Currency exhibits the clearness and painstaking fullness
which distinguish all the work of Mr. Knox, the pres¬
ent incumbent of the office.
We expect to give the
whole report to our readers next week.
During the past year there appear to have been organ¬
ized 28 banks, with $2,775,000 capital; to these, $1,598,800
in notes were issued ; during the year, 15 failed, with
$2,712,500 capital. In the same time,41 voluntarily retired,
with $5,200,000 capital. Since the beginning, February
25th,1863, 2,400 have been organized; 74 have been placed
in receivership, and 273 have gone into voluntary liqui¬
dation, leaving 2,053 in existence. These figures—par¬
ticularly those covering the past year—show that if there
was ever any extraordinary
profit in the national bank
system such profit no longer exists. At least since the
allotment and redistribution idea of the original act was
abandoned, and banking was made free, there has been
no resemblance
in the system to monopoly; five or
more
persons, anywhere in the country, who can get
together $50,000 or more, are at liberty to or anize a
bank and receive 90 per cent of this capital in notes up
to a maximum of $500,000, with the privilege of
going
ahead
and
making all they can.
But since
the passage of the act of June 20, 1874,
facili¬
tating the retirement of notes, the banks have vol¬
untarily sacrificed $66,237,323, or $29,463,467 more
notes than have been issued since that date, and the 144
institutions which have since gone into voluntary liqui¬
dation have caused a further withdrawal of $^>,180,718.
Nor does the charge of monopoly fiud any support in

the Government to that end at¬
tracts special attention.
In this view the meeting, early
in the week, between Mr. Sherman and the Baltimore
bankers is an incident of interest, furnishing as it does

fidence, and well-matured plans. "Working with Con¬

In the United Kingdom the capital

their capital and reserve is 23*07 per cent. The City of

requires every liquidating bank to deposit in the Treasury
the amount of its outstanding circulation, and the law
also provides that full provision must be made for

When such an effort is made, it is with a view to preserve the
equilibrium; and that nation which finds itself strong enough to
prevent or to produce a radical change—a permanent disturbance
of the equilibrium—is said to hold the balance of power. .
The earliest evidence which we have of the existence of any
such condition among States or nations, is to be found in the
history of Greece. Hume, in his essay on the “Balance of Power,”
instances—as illustrating the principle—the conduct of the
Athenians when they fought with the Thebans against the Spar¬
tans, until the latter were crippled at Leuctra, and then again
their conduct when they fought on the side of the Spartans to
hold the Thebans in check.
Hume in this pi ce has been
approvingly quoted by Wheaton, in his great work on Interna¬
tional Law.

sections do not always save the vessels—probably for the

ON TIIE BALANCE OF POWER IN EUROPE.
,In the November number of the Princeton Iieveiw, which is
more than ordinarily interesting, there is a timely article from
ex-President of Yale, on the Balance of
he calls it, the European Equilibrium.
Dr. Woolsey, after explaining what he understands by the balance
of power, leads us step by step from the earliest times up
through the great crises which have disturbed or threatened to
disturb Europe, on to the present time, touching towards the
close, with gentle hand, some of the questions which are still
largely occupying the public mind. The paper is intended to be
instructive rather than polemic; and hence there is an evident
disposition to avoid what might seem partiality in the yet

ments which were finally made, both Guizot and his master
Louis Philippe violated faith with England; and it is more than
probable that the disasters which befell the House of Orleans in
1848, would have been averted but for that breach of confidence.
The history of Europe for the last hundred years is full of
examples illustrative of the importance attached to the mainte¬
nance of the equilibrium among the different States and nations.
The wars and conquests of the First Napoleon had altered the
face of Europe and seriouslyhisturbed the equilibrium.
When,
after his fall, it became necessary jto reconstruct the map of
Europe, the reconstruction was conducted on the principle of the
balance of power.
A desire to restore the equilibrium is
conspicuously revealed in the treaties both of Vienna"and of
Paris.
When in 1823, with consent of the Holy Alliance, France
entered Spain, reduced the rebellion and restored Ferdinand to
his throne, tlie British government entered a vigorous protest;
and as that protest was unheeded Canning recognized the indepen¬
dence of the Spanish American States.

if France should have Spain, It would not be Spain with the
Indies.

our political assemblies. When the power is almost
equally divided between two great parties, an equilibrium is said
to exist.
When, however, from some cause or other, a third
party springs into existence the equilibrium is said to be
disturbed. This third party, which, although it may be numeri¬
cally weaker than either of the other two, is yet able, by flinging
its weight on this side or that, to determine the victory, is said
to hold the balance of power.
Such a condition of things has

THE CHRONICLE
effectively at certain critical conjunctures the same old principle
has asserted itself. During the Franco-Italian war against
Austria, great violence was done to the established order of
things; and the treaties of Vienna and Paris were flung to the
Austria was driven out of Italy; and there
winds of heaven.
was effectually initiated that great movement which has since
resulted in the complete unification of Italy. The same may be
said of the Prusso-Austrian war in 1866. The victory at Sadowa
led to the expulsion of Austria from the German Confederation,
and paved the way for the restoration of the German Empire
under the leadership of Prussia.
The Franco-German war of a
still later date threatened for a time to completely change the
face of Europe; and it certainly had a mighty influence in chang¬
ing the centres of power. It was not felt, however, that the
changes brought about by any of those wars—changes which
were for the most part in the line of progress, and in the interests
of nationalities—were sufficient, radical and dangerous though
some of these were, to justify on the part of the outside powers
a policy of armed interference.
It might have bsen different, if
those wars had assumed more the character of wars of conquest—
if France and Italy had sought to humiliate the Hapsburgs in
their own capital; if Prussia had persisted in the prosecution of
the struggle after Sadowa; or if Emperor William, after Sedan,
had gone further than he did go, in humiliating "and mutilating”
France.
The French Emperor was glad to make peace at Villabecause
he dreaded the interference of Prussia. The
franca
German Chancellor was the less unwilling to make peace with

the interference of France.
And
Emperor William was probably, in no small degree, i duced to
moderate his demands upon France, by his knowledge of the
sentiments which prevailed in London, at
Vienna and at
St. Petersburg. Regard for the balance of power might not be
in any of those cases the controlling motive throughout, but in
every one of them it was probably the controlling principle in the
end.
It checked the conqueror in his career of victory. Of these
later troubles in the East it is hardly m cessary to write a line. S)
long as Russia respected what was regarded as the equilibrium
she was permitted to proceed unchecked.
It was only when she
disturbed the status quo and trenched on the rights of the outside
powers, that she was called to halt; and the treaty of Berl n,
whatever may be its ultimate fate, is the latest embodiment of
the diplomatic wisdom of Europe in regard to the balance of
power.
It is
probable that the British Government has at times been
regard; and it is hardly to be wondered at
that it provoked the enmity and contempt of the Manchester
school of politicians. Mr. Cobden described the balance of power
as
“ a phantom without definite form or tangible existence.”
According to the same authority, British history “during the
last century may be called the tragedy of British intervention
in the politics of Europe, in which princes, diplomatists, peers
and generals have been the a .thors and actors, the people the
victims; and the moral will be exhibited to the latest posterity,
in eight hundred millions of debt.”
It is abundantly evident,
however, that these are not the sentiments of the majority of the
British people, who have ever shown a willingness to maintain,
at any cost, the place to which they think they are entitled in
the body politic of Europe.
Nor are the British the only
people, as many recent events have shown, who are sensitive on
the subject. It is evidently Dr. Woolsey’s opinion—and it will, we
think, be the opinion of every painstaking and impartial thinker
who fairly considers t’ e subject—that con titu*ed as Europe n)w
is, with so many rival States and nations, and with so many con¬
flicting interests, the preservation of the equilibrium is probably
the best safeguard for the general4 welfare of the commonwealth
or community which unitedly they constitute.
President Woolsey concludes his very interesting and instruc¬
tive paper by felicitating his fellow countrymen because of .he
favored position they occupy compared with that of any of the.
nations of Europe.
With us, considering our form of Govern¬
ment, our position in the world, and our aims, the question of
the balance of power can never he other than a mere historical
speculation. What might have happened, is a problem already
satisfactorily solved. What may happen, we know not. The
vast fabric may or may not survive the blows of time.
If the
worst should happen, the President thinks we should have a
cluster of republics; and a cluster of republics, in his opinion,
would be fr^er from jealousy than a cluster of monarchies.
On
both of these latter points, we fear, the doctors will be found to
differ. Meanwhile we have reason to be grateful. “ A balance
of power means danger from abroad, from a neighbor; and there
are no
neighbors for us to fear.”

Bank of
correspondent !
London, Saturday, November 16, 1878.
surprise has been occasioned this week, owing to the fact
England have decided on making
no change in their nominal rate of
discount, which remains at 6
per cent.
It is understood, however, that the directors are work¬
ing for customers at 5 per cent, and are granting advances on the
best securities at 6 per cent, being a reduction of two
per cent
from the late highest point.
The value of money has declined
in the open market to about 4£ per cent, and it is difficult to see,
therefore, what can be the motive in retaining a nominal quota¬
tion of G per cent. Judging from the Bank return, the
only
reason for delaying a
change is the small increase in the total of
private deposits.
The total of these is still as much as
£26,884,127, being nearly £6,500,000 in excess of the nominal
amount; and as there has been no tendency for it to diminish of
late, it is evident that merchants and bankers are still unwilling
to depart from the cautious policy so
long pursued. Nearly
£27,000,000 under the head of private deposits is a heavy liability,
and the fact that the banks hold such large balances
may be
construed into a continued want of confidence; but, at the same
time, confidence is not to be increased by upholding a high rate
of discount when a no higher rate than 5 per cent is
justified
On the contrary, six per cent under existing circumstances is
calculated to lead to injudicious criticism
respecting the state of
affairs, and to produce an impression that a condition of things
prevails which does not exist. We have here at the present time
a large supply of gold, viz., as much as
£25,824,603, while the
total reserve is £11,4G8,753. It is true that the
proportion of
reserve to liabilities at the Bank is
only 38*42 per cent, but this i3
due to the fact that the liabilities of the
establishment, in conse
quence of the large amount of private deposits, are unusually
heavy. A time will come when there will be more readiness to
lend. The outlets for our idle money will be
comparatively few,
and should there be no active demand for
gold for export, the
rates of discount must certainly rule low.
It is quite probable
that although one trade is so very quiet and restricted, it is
sounder than it has been for some time past.
The crisis of the
failure of the City of Glasgow Bank, and the absence of
any
commercial panic seem to be confirmatory of this.
The failures
which have taken place have disclosed a state of
things which it
is by all means desirable to eliminate; but they have, in conse¬
quence of their comparatively limited number, led the country to
believe that rottenness in business is by no means
general. The
directors of banks have experienced of late some
sharp and
instructive lessons, and, at more than one
establishment,
managers have been at tlieir wits’ end to procure the means to
provide

upon
them.
Fortunately for them, as well as for the country, the public,
though anxious, has exhibited great discretion, and it may now
be snid that the elements exist of a steady return of confidence.
Not only is the financial position more satisfactory,
but we have
had the assurance of the Emperor of Russia that he intends to
carry out the stipulations of the treaty of Berlin, and that nothing
will be done to provoke a conflict.
The Treaty affects, of course,
large interests, and the changes and modifications suggested in it
are so considerable that much time
will be taken in
carrying it
out.
There must naturally be some disagreement
occasionally;
but, thus far, it has not exceeded what might have been expected.
The Turks are losers by the process, and they are not

The demand for money in the
market has also been upon a very moderate scale. Bills are
scarce and are more
sought after, while the supply of floating
capital is increasing. The rates of discount have, in consequence,
a downward
tendency, and are now quoted as follows:

The Manchester Guardian is informed that the statement to be
presented to the statutory meeting of the creditors of Messrs.
Ileugh, Balfour & Co. on Tuesday next will show the following
results : Amount owing to unsecured creditors, £246,033; creditors
partly secured, £145,895; making a total of £391,928.
The
amount of unclosed shipments is placed at over £900,000, on
which there may yet be a deficiency, a surplus being hardly
likely. The liabilities on bills reckoned good are stated to be £976,261. On deficiencies in shipments the claims of two creditors are
estimated at £92,000. The assets are as follows: Stock in trade,
£18,398 ; book debts, £5,400 ; furniture, £1,300 ; shares in Mid¬
land Lace Company, £2,500; profit on above shares for next eight
years, £5,000; value of trade marks, £1,500; surplus from con¬
signments, £24,435; making a total of £58,583.
From this
amount, however, has to be deducted £533 for rent, &c., leaving
a sum of £58.000.
The separate estate of Mr. H. Heugb is esti¬
mated at £1,000, and of Mr. N. S. Simmonds at £2,000.
The
,estate of Mr. John Heugh is uncertain, but is probably nil. These
figures make a total of £61,000 ; and, deducting £5,000 for possi¬
ble claims, the net assets amount to £56,000, showing a dividend
of about
2s. 9d. in the pound.
Out of this dividend,
however, the cost of the liquidation will have to be provided. It
will, we believe, appear that in 1861 the total capital in the con¬
cern was about £1,000,000.
When Mr. Balfour died, in 1869, his
personal estate was sworn under £450,000, of which sum £300,000
wae in the concern, and is
understood to have been paid out to
his executors.
In 1870, it appears that the capital amounted to
about £40,760.
In 1871, the profits were £J4,000, and in 1872
£30,000. In 1873 there was a loss of £2,900, and the capital was
reduced to the small sum of £252.
The working of 1874 showed
a loss of £40,000, and a deficiency in capital of £62,700; 1875, a
profit of £1,800, and a deficiency of £87,000 ; 1876, a loss of
£24 000, and a deficiency of £139,000; 1877, a profit of £3,800, and a
1
deficiency of £149,000; and 1878, a loss of £43,000, and a deficiency
of £205,000.
The total profit thus shown is £59,600, and loss
£109,900; leaving a net loss of £50,300. Mr. Hugh Heugh’s
drawings.in the preceding eight years are placed at £21,400, and
the drawings of Mr. Simmonds at £21,500.
The drawings of Mr#
John Heugh appear as follows: 1871, £41,500; 1872, £31,300;
1873, £27,800 ; 1874, £14,000; 1875, £18,700; 1876, £19,700; 1877,
£2,800; 1878, £300; making a total in the eight years of £156,100.
The failure is announced of Messrs. C. Darner & Co., East
India merchants, of Great St. Helen’s, India, with liabilities
estimated at about £100,000.
The failure of remittances from
China is .-aid to be the cause of the stoppage..

the
depositors to accept 15s. on the pound. If the creditors wait until
they are paid in full with interest, they will have to wait for
many years before they receive the last instalment.
The stock markets have been firm during the week, and the
tendency of prices has been favorable. The increasing rate of
the money market and the more favorable political news have
had a good effect, and a moderate rise in values has taken
place.

improvement. Money being cheaper, and confidence by no means
general, a rise in the value of consols is expected to take place.

There has, however, been no material
change in values. The quantity of wheat afloat is about 1,500,000
quarters. The quantity of Indian corn on passage is 447,600
quarters, against 140,600 quarters last year.
During the week ended Nov. 9, the sales of home grown wheat
in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales amounted
to 52,867 quarters, against 46,202 quarters last year; and it is
estimated that in the whole Kingdom they were 211,500
quarters, against 185,000 quarters in 1877. Since harvest the
sales in the 150 principal markets have been 624,130 quarters >
against 537,473 quarters; and it is estimated that in the whole
Kingdom they Lave been 2,496,520 quarters, against 2,150,000
quarters in the corresponding period of last season. Without
reckoning the supplies furnished ex-granary at the commence¬
ment of the season, it is estimated that the following quantities
of wheat and flour have been placed upon the British market* •

The Jloney Market and Financial
Situation.—The busi¬
week has teen broken
by the occurrence of Thanksgiving
Day, which is observed quite generally as a legal holiday. The
financial situation remains substantially unchanged since our last
report; and there is a tone of much cheerfulness and confidence
in business circles.
Prices at the Stock Exchange are, as a rule,
quite strong, and only in the case of speculative stocks which
are affected by special circumstances, is there
any depression in
values—the coal-carrying railroad stocks being at present the
most conspicuous among the latter sort.
The latest report of the
exports and imports of the United States is for the month of
October, and the totals continue to show the same extraordinary
excess in the amount of
exports over imports—the total excess of
exports of merchandise alone being $47,743,464, as compared
with $17,731,155 in October, 1877, and the excess of exports
of
merchandise and specie included being $25,G46,657, against $18,ness
024,324 in the
same
month of 1877.
cp. 10548 Feb. 25 11034 June 27
The total
excess
of
per cent, the bulk of transactions being
done at 3@4 per cent.
1'liere is a good demand for prime com¬
mercial paper at 4@54 per cent.
The Bank of England statement on Thursday showed an in¬
crease for the week of £170,000 in
specie, and the reserves were
41 11-16 per cent of liabilities, against 40-| per cent last week.
The Bank of France showed an increase in specie of 10,100,000
francs.
The last statement of the New York
City Clearing-House
issued November 23, showed a decrease of $699,175 in the

An ad¬

week has recently been an occurrence by no means
extraordinary.

RECEIPTS AND EXPENSES
(For the year ending September 30, 1878.)
The forty-third annual report of the directors of the Boston &
Providence Railroad says: “The falling off in receipts noticed
for the past five years has been larger in comparison than ever
before; meanwhile the decrease in expenses has equaled the
expectations of your directors, and has more than kept pace with
the diminished gross returns, showing, in part, that the road is
reaping the benefit of the permanent improvements of the last
ten years.
With the uncertainties of the future, and the
continued and increasing rivalry of other lines, it has been
considered judicious and prudent not to divide the entirs revenue
of the year, but to devote the surplus over six per cent on the
capital stock to the reduction of your debt. The interest-paying
debt is now one million of dollars, divided equally between bonds
due in 1893 and notes payable* and has been brought within the
limit originally contemplated by the vote of the stockholders at
a
special meeting held March 4, 1873. The road has no floating

The President, Mr. Robt. Ould, remarks:—“The
stockholders,
at their meeting in July of this
year, directed that there should
be an arrangement with the Potomac Steamboat
Company to run
by steamboat, to and from the wharf at Quantico, that part of a
day line between Washington and Richmond, upon the terms
that the receipts derived from
passengers, the mail and freights
by said day liLe from Washington to Richmond, and rice versa,
were to be divided between this
Company and such Steamboat
Company in the ratio in which such receipts have been divided
between this Company and the Alexandria &
Fredericksburg
Railroad Company. It has been deemed advisable that the boat
so to be provided should be
capable of carrying postal, sleeping
and other cars, and inquiries are now
being prosecuted looking to
the employment of a boat on the Potomac
which, in addition to
the requisites named in the resolution
adopted by the stockhold¬
ers, should have proper appointments and accommodations for
cars.

Decline in Gas Stocks.—'The New York Tribune, in com
menting upon this subject, reports a broker in gas stocks as say¬
ing that “ the decline in the prices of gas stocks has been so
rap:d of late that these stocks have been almost driven out of
the market. Any one who wishes to buy them can get all he
wants with very little trouble, but there is no demand for them,
and holders are afraid to otFer them for public sale.
The cause
of this is found in the uneasiness which speculators feel in re¬
gard to the electric light. The heaviest holders of gas stocks
profess to feel no alarm. They say that the electric light can
never take the place of gaslight except in the lighting of large
public squares and streets, and that this loss will be made up to
the gas companies through the use of gas stoves.”
Another
broker said he did not believe that the popular apprehensions in
regard to the electric light were the only causes of the decline in
gas stocks.
The gas companies, he said, had become so numer
ous that the rivalry between them was ruinous.
The stocks of
some of some of the companies had been watered too much, and
the companies had been unable to pay good dividends in con
sequence.
At the offices of several gaslight companies it was
said that the scare over the threatened supplanting of gaslight
by the electric light would die out as soon as any extensive trial
of the latter light was made.
In the meantime, it was said, the
gaslight companies were making their usual earnings, and the
largest stockholders were not disposed to sell out their interests.
The most marked decline, however, has been in the stocks of the
Harlem Gaslight Company, which were sold in January at 97.
A few shares were sold on May 29 at 83, and the stocks went
down to 44 on September 18. On November 13 they were bid off
at 34£.
The cause of this unusual depression has been stated to
be an alarm among the stockholders at the prospect of a mort¬
gage on the company’s property. The following circular was
sent to the stockholders last month :
“
It is necessary to execute a mortgage on our property and franchises to
secure or obtain money for the extension of our business aud other purposes.
Will you please call at the office, No. 61 Liberty street, and see our President,
on or before the 30th November, 1678, who has the necessary papers which we
wish you to sign ?
R. W. Rodman, Vice-President.”
The statement made at the company’s office was that it had
been thought advisable to give a mortgage of $500,000, in order
to extend the company’s business, to take in $170,000 of sub¬
scription bonds now outstanding, and to pay a floating debt of
$80,000. The company, it was said, needed a new retort and
new gas pipes for districts which the company has not
supplied
hitherto.
A rival company,
the Knickerbocker, has been laying
pipes in Harlem, and the company has therefore been obliged to
lower its price from $2 75 to $2.

Rates.—The new tariff which went into
the following rates from Chicago to
100 lbs.: First class, $1 20; 2d class. 90c.; 3d
class, 70c.; 4th class, 40c.; grain, 35c.; bulk meats, 45c; fresh
meats, 90c.; dressed hogs, 75c.
The principal changes are an advance of five cents per 100 lbs.
on grain and fourth-class freight.
To Boston rates are 10 cents
higher with first and second classes, and five cents higher
on all other freight.
To Baltimore the rates are three cents
lower,and to Philadelphia two cents lower,on all classes whatever.
Although the pooling arrangements have not been finally set¬
tled, it is thought probable that they will be adjusted on the
basis of the former pool on roads East from Chicago, viz. ;
Michigan Central, 32 per cent; Lake Shore, 27 per cent; Fort
Wayne, 24 per cent; Pan Handle, 7 per cent; Baltimore & Ohio,
effect November 25 gives
New York per
10 per cent.
From Cincinnati,
the following percentages have been agreed
to take effect December 1, viz. : Pittsburg Cincinnati &
St. Louis, 24 per cent; Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati & Indian¬
apolis, 24 per cent; Marietta & Cincinnati, 22 per cent ; Atlantic &
Great Western, 18 per cent; Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton,
upon,
12 per cent.
The Chicago Tribune states that
that city from points further west
the recent advance in rates to
amounts to an embargo. The
Tribune says :
“The Chicago & Northwestern, the Chicago Rock Island &
Pacific and the Chicago Burlington & Quincy railroad companies
have unired in a pooling arrangement, and have established
Chicago which are positively prohibitory of all traffic
this city over these lines.
On all freights from
the East to the Missouri River the rate is 30 cents per hundred
That is to say, merchants
less on all routes that avoid Chicago.
in Omaha and elsewhere on the Missouri River and in Iowa who
purchase goods iu Chicago have to pay a large advance for
freights to all of these roads on what the freight on the same
goods would be if moved from-some other point than Chicago.
Nor is the discrimination against Chicago confined to Westernbound freights.
It is even more astounding in the case of
freights from Iowa and the Missouri River to Chicago. For
some time past, the rate on wheat
from Omaha to Chicago has
been 35 cents per 100 pounds, and to-day (November 25) it is to
be advanced to 40 cents ; the rate from Chicago East is 35 cents
per 100 pounds, making 70 cents from the Missouri River to the
Atlantic.
Considering the present price of grain, this is even
* * * *
more than confiscation.”
The rates from all points in the Northwest are discretionary,
except *o Chicago. Through grain by way of Chicago is to pay
70 to 75 cents per hundred from the Missouri River to New York,
and from Chicago to New Yorx 35 cents ; while from Omaha to
St. Louis or Peoria the rate is nominal, and from St. Louis to
New Orleacs the rate is 8 cents per bushel, or 14 cents a

report of the meeting says that Mr. J.
W. Hickock of Burlington, Vt., appeared on behalf of the
corporation, and said that the company found that from an
examination of their income the railroad would be unable to
continue the interest on the 7 and 8 per cent bonds maturing in
1830, and decided to make a proposition to the holders of them to
substitute a 5 per cent bond instead.
The floating debt was
$363,000, and there was a balance of $40,000 due on the original
first mortgage. The former was secured by collateral—first mort¬
gage bonds and 3,000 shares of Atchison stock.
Then the
company owed a $300,000 divideud to preferred stockholders; in
all, the corporation owed $1,700,000. The $163,000 of the 8 per
cent bonds were secured by the property of four locomotives,

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.
Friday Nigiit, November 29.
The intervention of
holiday so universally observed as the
Thanksgiving would be an important obstacle to business
of itself, but is especially so as it is accompanied with the
approaching close of inland navigation at the North and West
and of the end of the year, which is always the dull season. The
exports of breadstuff's have also continued to be more or less
embarrassed by speculations; while the low stage of water in
many rivers of the Southwest delays the movement of bulky
merchandise. There is, besides, seme little anxiety regarding the
approaching resumption of specie payments, and some disposition
to delay action until the success of the measures of the Treasury
Department are assured. For all these reasons, the past week
las
very naturally been a quiet one in mercantile circles.
There has been some further decline in “liog products,” under
excessive receipts of swine at the Western packing centres. The
number of swine slaughtered at the West from Nov. 1 to Nov.
20 was 1,225,600, against 726,500 for the corresponding period last
season.
Pork declined to $7 20 for old mess for December, and
$8 70 for new mess for February, but the cl se to-day was more
steady, with $8 80 bid for new for February. Lard declined to
$6 07^ for prime Western, spot and December ; $0 12J for Janu¬
ary, $6 20 for February, and $6 27-J for February, and closed to¬
day at these figures. Bacon has sold freely at 4£c. for Western
long and short clear, together, for December delivery. Cut meats
met with only a moderate demand.
Beef and beef hams were
quiet and unchanged. Tallow is a little firmer at 6 9-16@6fc. for

-Texas & Pacific.—The Shreveport, La., Times reports Major
S. L. James, the contractor for grading the branch of the Texas &
Pacific road to that city, as saying that a construction company
has been formed, composed of David Urqubart and associates, in
New York and New Orleans, with ample capital to push the
work on to completion. A portion of the laborers are now
engaged on the line from Alexandria, and a portion are grad¬
ing the road west near the line of the De Soto and Natchitoches
parishes. The road between Alexandria and the Mississippi
River, a distance of 100 miles, is mainly graded. Iron has been
purchased, and track laying will begin at Alexandria and be
extended east.

Mississippi River is completed the iron will be laid from Alexan¬

Major
James states that the road will be running between New Orleans
and Shreveport within eighteen months.
Wabasll.—The office of the company will be removed from
Piue street to No. 5 Bowling Green, the headquarters of Mr. C.
K. Garrison, the new President. As to the Chicago connection,
it is understood that the Wabash will acquire control of the
Chicago & Paducah road, and of the Decatur & State Line proj¬
ected railroad, paying therefor 5 per cent bonds, running thirty
years.
The total estimated cost of the new extension is about
$3,200,OCO. The main cause for this action is the determination of
this company

Comparative Port Receipts and Daily Crop Movement.—
A
comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate,
the weeks in different years do not end on the same day of the
month.
We have consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader may con¬
stantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the years named.
First we give the receipts at
each port each day of the week epding to-night.

From the
foregoing it would appear that, compared with last
there has been an increase of 1,000 bales in the week’s ship¬
ments from Bombay to Europe, and that the total movement
since January 1 shows a decrease in shipments of 84,000 bales,
compared with the corresponding period of 1877.
Gunny Bags, Bagging, &c.—Bagging continues to rule very
quiet, and the feeling as to price is less confident. There is no
inquiry for parcels and only a moderate jobbing trade to be
noted.
Prices are now 9£, 10(cfcl0£c. for the various weights, and
for a round lot holders are willing to sell at a lower figure. Butts
are in moderate request, the lots moving
being small, and the
aggregate foots up only a few hundred bales at 2%@2$c., cash and
time. At the close the feeling is steady with holders asking above
figures.

The clothing trade
was fairly represented by buyers from some of the principal
manufacturing centies, but their operations in spring woolens
were not marked by much liberality, and orders for future deliv¬
placed wi h a good deal of caution. Jobbers bought
sparingly of fall and winter goods, and they manifested no dispo¬
sition to anticipate future wants, but, on the contrary, evinced
a determination to reduce their stocks to the lowest
possible
point before closing up the business of the year; and in further¬
ance of this object many descriptions of staple and department

and woolen goods were fairly steady in agents" hands, but there
was a pressure to sell certain makes of prints, ginghams and >
dre?s goods, by means of price concessions.
Foreign silks, dress goods, velvets, &t\, were weak and unsettled.
Domestic Cotton Goods,—The exports of co ton goods from
this port during the week ending N jvember 26 were 1,710 pack¬
ages, of which 607 were shipped to Great Britain, 240 to British
Erst Indies, 145 to C'splatine Republic, 139 to United States of
Colombia, 110 to Venezuela, 86 to Hayti, 65 to British West In¬
dies, 55 to British Australia, 53 to Brazil, 47 to Danish West In¬
dies, 43 to Cuba, &c. There was a very light movement in cot¬
ton goods
from agent*/ bands, but prices were nominally
uncharged and fairly steady on the h^st makes of brown and
bleached goods, cotton flannels, &c.
Cottonades were in some
request by the clothing trade, but transactions were not as liberal
as expected, and
selections were mostly restricted to a few lead¬
ing makes. Dyed ducks, d^nimp, ticks, and stripes were only in
moderate demand, and cheviots were lightly dealt in, but fair
purchases of corset jeans were stimulated by slight price concessions. Warps remained quiet, but there was a steady demand
for fine cotton yarns, which continue in light supply.
Print
cloths continued in fair demand and steady, on the basis of 3£c.,
39 days, to 3fc., cash, for 64x64s, spots and futures, and 3c., cash,
for 56x60?.
Prints ruled quiet, and ginghams were weak and

unsettled, as were many manes of cotton areas goods.

demand for heavy woolens for men’s wear, and transactions were
