BAILltOAD NEWS,
Statistics just published in Paris for
1876 give the total railway mileage in
the world as 181,864, divided as follows:
Europe, 89,129 miles; Asia, 7628; Afri-
ca, 1450; America, North and South,
81,909; Australasia, 1748. Poor's man-
ual for the same year, however, gives
the grand total at 194,836, or 12,972
more than the French authority, made
up thus: Europe, 93,415; Asia, 8266;
Africa,1708; America, North and South,
88,949; Australasia, 2498. Poor's figures
are thus considerably larger than the
others, in eachcase, and are probably
more nearly correct.
The X.ate Chas. IU. Conrad.
(From the New Orleans Picayune. 1
After a long life of usefulness and
honorable service to the State, Charles
Magill Conrad slumbers in death, and
his name and virtues are now cherished
memories. Born in Winchester, Va.,
in 1804, he was brought to New Orleans
when a child, and here he grew to man-
hood, developing those intellectual,
moral and social qualities which com-
manded the esteem of friends, the
warm attachment of relatives, and the
respect and regard of the community.
His politicil aspirations were met
by proofs of popular confidence
at once flattering to his pride and
conclusive of the high estimation
in which his abilities and personal
worth were held by his fellow-citizens.
Within the State, he was prominent as
a legislator, a member of various con-
ventions and the incumbent of other
distinctly responsible offices, including
that of attorney general. In
Federal politics, Mr. Conrad filled
the honorable sta^.ons of mem-
ber of the Houso of Repre-
sentatives and United States sena
tor, and held the portfolio of secretary
of war under President Fillmore. He
also served in the Confederate Congress.
Mr. Conrad married M. E. Angela
Lewis, daughter of Lawrence Lewis,
son of Gen. Washington's only sister.
He leaves two sons—Chas. M. Conrad,
of this city, and Lawrence Lewis Con-
rad, of Baltimore.
Circular have been addressed by
the supervising inspector general of
steamboats to local inspectors of steam
vessels, boiler plate manufacturers,
boilor makers and others, giving the
rules and regulations as amended by
the board of supervising inspectors and
approved by the secretary of the trea-
sury. Every iron or steel plate intend-
ed for the construction of boilers to bo
used on steam vessels is required to be
stamped by the manufacturer in the man-
ner prescribed. The inspector is required
to visit places where boilers are being
constructed as often as possible for
the purpose of ascertaining and mak-
ing a record of the stamp upon the
material, its thickness, and other
qualities; inspectors shall not allow
the use of vertical tubular boilers
on waters flowing into the Gulf of Mex-
ico unless the water line of the boiler
is the lawful distance above the upper
end of tubes and fire line. All steam-
ers hereafter constructed, navigating
the ocean, sounds, lakes, bays and riv-
ers, and subject to the jurisdiction of
the board, shall have a clear space of
not less than sixteen inches on all sides
of the boilers, and at the back end of
all such heaters there shall be a clear
space of two feet. Ship joints in steam
pipes shall in their working parts, when
the steamer is to be employed in navi
gating salt water, be made of copper or
composition. All boilers hereafter
built shall have a plate or plates of suf
ficient size fastened on the boiler on
which shall be the name of the manu-
facturer, the place where manufac
tured, and the textile strength of the
iron, and also the name of the
builder of the boiler, where built,
and the year. The main pipes,
and their branches required by
law on steamers to convey steam from
the boilers to the hold and separate
apartments of the same, except the
cibins, shall not be less than one and
one-half inches in diameter, except on
steamers employed on Western rivers,
which steamers may use branch pipes
not less than three-quarters of an inch
in diameter. All branch pipes leading
into the several compartments of the
hold of the vessels shall be supplied
with valve3, the handles marked so as
to indicate the compartments or parts
of the vessel to which they lead. These
valves or their handles' shall be placed
ia the most accessible parts of the main
deck of the vessel, and so arranged,
when practicable, that all can be in
c ised in a box or casing, the door of
which shall be plainly marked with the
words: "Steam fire apparatus."
Rev. John W. Chadwick, of New
York, preached a sermon on "Future
Punishment," which was afterwards
printed in pamphlet, in which the fol-
lowing sly but effective thrust is made
at the pastor of Plymouth church,
Brooklyn, and his recent new departure
from the old dogmas of the church:
I went to hear the Boanerges of this
doctrine, here in Brooklyn, set it forth,
And he did set it forth, without the
least equivocation. But did he believe
what he said? He thought, or thought
he thought, he did; but did he? Ni
or he would have been a thousand
times more earnest and more eloquent,
He would not have cracked his little
jokes and heaped up his incongruous
metaphors with conscious pride. And
did his hearers, any of them, believe
what he was saying? I think not one,
They sat there as serene and smiling as
if they were listening to the absurdities
of " The Crushed" Tragedian." The
whole performance, involving preacher
and congregation, was a atupendo«s
piece of make-believe—unconscious for
the most part, but still make-believe.
COMMERCIAL.
NEWS OFFICE, I
Thursday Evekiso. Feb. 14,18? 8.f
There has been a better trade doing during
the last couple of days, but without any im-
portant fluctuations in prices of provisions.
The flutter caused in the market by the threat-
ening attitude of affairs in the East has not
■ ubeided, and it still imparts a strorg under-
tone to the values of wheat and flour. As yet
the speculative feeling has not developed into
any general movement.
The hide market has ruled active and strong,
and, despite the receipt of some very discour-
aging telegrams from New York by buyers,
the prices paid have been fully equal to any
conceded since the recent reaction. In one inj
stance fully lSJ^c. was paid for a choice so®
lection of heavy dry flint stock.
The wool market is depressed and prices
are lower. Buyers are only offering inside
figures for the small parcels offering, 18@20c-
being deemed full prices for medium to fine
fall clip free of burs.
In the cotton market a steady feeling has
prevailed, and no act af open hostility having
occurred botween the English government
and the Turkish or Russian powers, the hope
is indu'ged in that war may be averted. In
the meantime, unsettled markets are reported
everywhere, and the fact that active prepara.
tlons ;for any emergency still progress in
England does not tend to allay apprehension.
English consols ruled steady to-day at 95
7-16. Silver is lower, and closed in London at
54d.
The Bank of England repoits a further
increase of specie, and its proportion of re-
serve to liabilities on weekly balance to-day
had increased from 46>£ per cent, last week,
to 46 13-16 per cent, to-day.
Gold closed in New York at 103J^.
THE LOUISIANA SU»AK AND RICE CROPS-
Returns recently received by the New Or-
leans Piice Current from its correspondents
indicate that the yield of molasses is greatly
in excess of any former year, owing to the
immature state of the cane at the commence-
ment of the grinding season, and the freeze
and subsequent warm weather souring the
cane later on; a large portion of the latter
grinding being made into molasses, as the
juice would not granulate. In many instances
considerable amounts of cane were so com-
pletely spoiled that they were not worth the
expense of passiDg them through the mill,
and were, consequently, left in the field, a few
planters losing the whole of their crop in this
way. The yield of rice also was much cur-
tailed in several parishes, in some instances
owing to local causes, such as drouth, floods,
etc., but as a general thing the decraase is at-
tributed to the very low prices of the prsce-
ding year, which, together with the losses
sustained in harvesting the crop of 1876-77,
deterred many and financially incapacitated
others from seeding as large an acreage as
In previous years.
With the better outlook for the rice inter-
est, which at present prevails, and a favora-
ble season for the next crop, the Piict Cur-
rent confidently expects an increased acre-
age, and a consequent larger yield the com-
ing year. The disastrous failure of the sugar
crop the pist year has^not at all disheartened
planters, and they have energetically gone
into the preliminary preparations for the
next crop. With more favorable weather dur
ing the coming growing season, they hope to
make up for at least a part of the losses of
the past year. There are also quite a num-
ber of small planters, mere correctly speak-
ing "sugar farmers," ia many of the par-
ishes, preparing to go into the cane growing
business during the next year, relying upon
their neighbors' mills to have tbeir cane
ground.
DRY GOODS DULL.
New York advices report l«st week's busi-
ness as dull and in woolen and foreign goods
as disappointing. In the domestic cotton
goods market, brown sheetings and drills
were in steady request for moderate selec-
tions, but bleached cottons remained quiet
and elight price concessions were made on
some low grade shirtings. Denims, tickings,
dyed ducki and corset jeans were severally
steady, but in comparatively light demand;
and cheviots—which were in large supply-
moved slowly. Cottonades received some at-
tention from intending buyers, but sales were
few and unimportant. Grain bags rulad
quiet, but cotton yarns were in fair request
by home buyers and fer export. Print cloth*
continued dull, but fairly steady, at 3 9-16c.,
cash, to 3%c., Je3s 1 per cent., cash, for extra
64j.b4s, and 3^c.. cash to 3J4c., thirty days, for
56x60s. Prints were lightly dealt in, but ging
hems met with liberal sales.
SHORT CROPS OF BRAZIL COTTON.
W. C. Watts & Co., in their annual report,
estimated that Great Britain would this year
receive from that source 800,000 bales, against
300,000 last year. In consequence of the con-
tinued bad crop reports, they now reduce
their estimate of imports this year to 150,100
bales. So far this year the imports have
amounted to only 11,526 bales, agiinst 30,167
last year, and there are at sea for Liverpool
"000 bales, egainst 30,000 last year.
COTTON.
The market has recovered somewhat from
the depression wbich prevailed on yesterday
and the day before. The demand has been
moderate, however, and sales only amount to
74!) bales, including 300 sold last evening.
Quotations remain unchanged.
The Liverpool market wa3 quiet but steady
for spot, and arrivals closed steady at 1 33 J.
advance.
The New Yo k market rec vered from the
irregularity of yesterday and closed steady
and unchanged for spot. Futures closed five
to six points higher than last evening. The
New Orleans market is unchanged.
The receipts at the ports were small and
brought the "thus far this week" below the
figures for the corresponding period of last
year. The Cotton Exchange Committee re-
ported this market as closing " quiet."
