on raw sugar, it was not an easy matter to ascerwhat drawback should be allowed on hard sugar.
This could only be got at by the average returns of a number of refineries from a variety
of descriptions of raw sugars.
The test of the
refiner is made by percentages
he draws about fifty
per cent, hard sugar from raw, and the remaining 50 per cent, he works into soft refined. To foster

amount of monthly exports under the enhanced drawback reached something like five million pounds, thus
largely affecting not only sugar refiners, but also the

raw sugar. All were engaged in transactions
by this change of rate. The re.
finersand merchants expect no more than an equitable
apportionment of what is due to the government and to
importers of

more or

less influenced

the manufacturer.
What they object to is, we repeat,
the instability and changeableness of revenue measures.
Establish a duty on sound principles, and then leave it

government, as the American refiner always requires
fresh raw sugar, and therein he differs from the Euro- untouched till some imperative necessity demands a
pean manufacturer, who again draws hard from second change ; and if a change has become unavoidable, do not
let it break upon the industrial and commercial commuproduce.
After investigation made and consultation had between nity with a suddenness which destroys all calculation, to
the Secretary of the Treasury and the refiners, it was the benefit of the few who by some means or other have
determined that 3fc. gold, less 1 per cent., would be a the intelligence a little ahead of their neighbors, and reap
fair drawback, and to this that official acceded early in a fortune thereby.
Instability is the life of speculation,

Thereupon a trade of considerable magnitude wMle it is a serious hindrance to the carrying on of all
sprang up. The change in net drawback gave our refin- honest trade.

Sis— In view

of statements made to the Department from
responsible sources, alleging an excess in the present rate of

statements are in great degree supported by reports received
from ofiBcers of the Department, the existing rate of drawback
on such Hard Sugars is hereby annulled, and the provisional rate
of |3 'il per 100 lb., subject to the legal retention of one per
centym, is established from and after the receipt of this order.
This rate will be subject to revision when the invesrigation,

which the Department will immediately institute, shall nave been
concluded, and if the rate of drawback then established shall be
greater than that now provisionally made, all parties interested
will be entitled to receive the surplus, to be collected on the
intermediate shipments. If, on the contrary, the rate fixed shall
be smaller than that now allowed, the deficiency will, in the cases
of persons engaged in the trade, be retained trom their subse

Now

there

is,

of course, no objection to the change of

rate if the old one

is

wrong. In

fact, it is the Secretary's

duty to make the drawback correspond to the intent of
the law. But the hardship consists in the suddenness of
the reversion of what was presumed to be an established
policy of the government
and further (and this is especially obnoxious), making the change applicable to shipments already made, where the accounts had not yet
been finally adjusted at the Custom House. A notice of
30 or 60 days would seem to be absolutely essential
in consideration of the magnitude of the interests involved, with which in divers ways so many of our merchants are connected, and who, since April, have been
able to compete with European refiners, not only in
Spanish America, Brazil, Hayti, etc., but even to a slight

Foreisn KxelianKe. During the early part of the week the
pxclian^e market remnine<l unnaturally ilepresged as a result of
the continued manipulation of gold and the high figures on loans.
The rates of leading bankers were reduced at one time on Thursday to 4761 to' 00 days sterling and 4.81 for short sight, but with
the easier feeling in gold, exchange rebounded, and the leading
drawers made succesalTe advances in their asking rates to-day
until thur reached 4.70 and 4.83^ for long and short sterling
respectively. These terms were above the views of buyers and had
the effect of checking business, as is usually the case on a sudden
adTtnce of so considerable an amount. The coarse of the market
mil Bow depend almost eutirely on the question whether the gold

Should it ue found possible under the management of
Mr
Jewett to work the Erie undertaking at the rate of even
70 per
cent, of outlay, an additional net profit, without
any increase of

the quantity of traffic and income obtained or
of the rates of
charge, equal to some $1,600,000 per annum would
result, and we
shall all watch with anxiety the changes of
managetn nt already
hopefully commenced.
The exceptional gauge of the railway is a source of exceptional
cost in working, and in more prosperous times it
must be gradually converted into the national aauge of
the country.
The ledger entries necessary for constructing a balance sheet
taken out at my request will demand your consideration
and
they will speak for themselves. They cannot, however,
include
estimates of the probable results of pending or proposed
litigationa, such as those with Commodore
Vanderbilt. the London
Banking Association, Mr. McHenry, and Mr. Jay Gould.
In the present state of the credit of the Erie undertaking it
seems
to me as impossible as it would be unwise, even
were it possible,
to endeavor to raise and remit more capital from England.
I can
recommend to yju no policy but that of self-redemption the railway must pay its debts by the use of that part of its current net
earnings which the courts may permit to be so appropriated.
If
the difficulty had been fairly looked in the face in
1872, many
unhappy persons would have been saved from loss, and before

—London despatches of October 18 stated that Mr. John Morris

discipline and economy would have been fully established.
Let It be hoped that the bond and stockholders will
have the
courage now to submit to a period of self denial, and will consent
to pay their debts and complete essential obligations
out of available net profits, the bondholders receiving in place
of cash such
equitable obligations realizable out of surplus revenue
in the
future as each according to right and priority may
justly claim.
A receivership is the alternative of the time; a foreclosure has
been threatened. If the latter is to be avoided there
must be
co-operation and control in the working of the former.
A receivership worked in cordial concert with all the honest
interests in
the company will give a strong hand where it is
so much wanted
and will enable prompt action to resist intrigues, as well
as to
solve, on rigid principles, many doubtful obligations.
Satisfied with Mr. Jewett's explanation upon this
question of
confidence or no confidence, discussions between us have
pro
ceeded, and I h«ve been able (more recently aided by the
sound
and mature advice of Mr. Morris, your legal adviser, who, accompanied by Sir Joseph Heron, landed in New York about ten days
after my own arrival) to ome to a general understanding
and
agreement with the receiver in terms which, I hope, may meet
with general approval. Mr. Jewett cordially adopts the
principle
thai those who really own the property should
practically manage
It through their own
representatives, he himself being one of
those representatives, a trustee, but not a master.

This line consists of four wooden side wheel steamers the
Nevada, Qolden Age, Oregoniau and Costa Rica. These are old
boats, and were run last y< ar in opposition to a Japanese line at a
loss to the company. The steamers were purchased by the Miltza
Bitshe Company, which is under the patronage of the Japanese
Government, and receives a subsidy from the same. This company
will run steamers in connection with the Pacific Mail line from
San Francisco to Japan, and pro rate on equitable terms. The
price realized by the Pacific Mail Company for these steamers is
700,000 Mexican silver dollars, which will realize in American
currency about $800,000. It is reported that some of the Pacific
Mail Company's real estate was included in the sale.
The new iron steamship City of New York has reached this
city.
Her keel was laid Nov. 10, 1874, and she would have beeo
ready for service two months ago, if it had not been for alterations
ordered during ronstruction. She is 353 feet long by 40i feet
wide, with a depth of 39i leet from the hurricane deck and 31 feet
from the spar deck. Except in the designs ot the forward cabin,
she is exactly like the City of San Francisco. Her capacity is

Paciflc of Missotiri. The investigatioj^of the committee of
Missouri Pacific stockholders into the Bfrai^L>f the company and
its relations to the Atlantic & Pacific Ra^nad is not finished.
The Atlantic & Pacific officers state that The earnings of the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company and leased lines in 1875, up
to Oct. 14, have been $3,230,394 78 for the corresp6nding period
in 1874 they were $3 907,025 43
the decrease is $676,630 65, the
Missouri Pacific decrease being $603,996 53.
The Treasurer of the Atlantic & Pacific Company states that the
cause of the decrease was the repeated destruction ot the crops by
the grasshoppers and in other ways. He deprecated the statements
rrttecting upon the officers of the company, and declared that they
had more at stake in the enterprise than any one else, the President of the Atlantic & Pacific Compa,ny having not only the bulk
of his piivate fortune invested in it, but being also responsible for
$ 1 ,000,000 of the company's paper, li; is stated by one of the
officers of the company that the original cause of the depreciation
in the Missouri Pacific stock was that the priucipul holders were
erroneously informed that an important tax suit in the State of
Missouri had gone against the company and they rushed to sell,
throwing more than 10,000 shares on the market. N. Y. Tribune.

In evidence of the substantial correctness of this
to compare the classifications quoted then
and now. At present the highest grade of American cotton
quoted in the weekly circular of the Cotton Brokers' Association
is 'middling fair,' whereas then four higher grades were quoted,
namely, fair,' good fair,' good,' and fine,' just as it is now in
quotations for Brazils. Tnis change in the classification ot
American cotton, as near as we can make out, represents about
|d. per pound.
" The misapprehension on this subject has been further increased by many old publications, and notably by recent annual
circulars of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers' Association. For instance, in the biokers' last annual circular the average price of
Uplands for the years ISjG-'GO inclusive are given as follows
In 1856 6d., in 1857 7id., in 185S 6Jd., in 1859 6id., and in 1810
5ii. an avsrage for the five years of 6id. Now, these figures
are generally understood to represent the average value of what
was then classed as 'middling;' but such is not the fact. They
only represent the average value of American Uplands of all
grades, ranging from the lowest to the highest, as originally
compiled in the annual circulars of the old and well-known firm
of Messrs. George Holt & Co., then and now prominent br9kers in
this town.

W. C. Watts & Co. of Liverpool write as follows in a late report
" We have lately repeatedly heard the remarks, in explanation of
the present depression, that cotton has been too high, and must
go back to ante-bellum prices, &c.' But, in order to determine
what ante-bellum prices were, it should be borne in mind that
the classification of American cotton is very different now from
what it was before the American war. We have been assured by
several of the oldest and most respectable brokers here that what
was fifteen or twenty years ago classed as fair was no better
than our present 'good middling,' and what was then classed as
middling' would now class about "strict good ordinary to low

market has been without important change the past
week. There was, at the opening, some improvement, bat it has
hardly been maintained since. Several thousand barrels of common extra State and Western sold for export at $5 75@$5 85, but
latterly sUippers appear to have retired from the market.
The
demand from the West Indies and South America has been only
moderate, but the local trade were free buyers. Rye flour has
been qniet. Com meal, at some decline, has been quite active.
To-day, tbe whole market was dull and weak.
The wheat market has been unsettled, and latterly drooping.
Foreign advices were favorable till within the last day or two
but receipts have been pretty free, here as well as at the Westem markets. Ocean freights have been Arm, while gold and
exchange have been declining. There was on Tuesday a verv
fair business at |1 38<<r$l 40 for No. 1 spring, $1 33<<i$l 34 fo'
No. 2 Mllwankee, |1 36^1 2S for No. 3 Chicago and Northwes^
$1 16^1 Sa for No. 3 spring, and |1 07(<£$1 10 for rejected
do., with new winter red and amber, inferior to good, at $1 13@
|1 38, aod white $1 SStcf^l 47i. But tince that date the \ietitt
grades oi red have declined 2(aSe.,and the whole market has
bown weakness. To-day, the market was dull, and to sell lower
prices were necessary, with the close quite unsettled.
Indian eom declined on Tuesday to 70@7(Hc for good to prime
aail mixed, with a good bnainess, and has since been rather
Brmer, but with the demand mainly for home nse, tbe shipment
having subsided. Receipts and stocks are quite moderoe kt al^
points, bat holders seem to apprehend that the new crop will be
fit lor market at an early day, and are diapoaed to press salesi
when thin can be done at about current prices. To-day, there wa^
a good JsMsnrl for sail mixed at 70i@71e.
Rya kao bean In iCettar demand at alxiut late prices. Barley
haa bosB in bettor damand, and the offerings have latterly been a
good doal rsdaead, as holders are inclined to insist upon better
Canada peas have been dull,
prices. Barley malt is unsettled.
aod altbongh nearly nominal have closed lower at $1@|1 03 in
bond, afloat. Oats have baea variable, but on the whole doing
rather batter. They ara recarded aa pretty cheap, and attract the
