W K DN KM i) ay kvknino. Oct. 27, 1876.
There was a fair trade done to-day,
bat it wag go nearly divided between the
various branches of business, and the
distribution was so equal, that f«w firms
were willing to pronounce it a good day's
work. The average was fair, however,
and orders were as numerous as they can
be expected to prove during the last
three or four days of the mobth.
In the provisionjmarketjthe movement
has been trivial, and with stocks of bacon,
lard, flour, etc., ample—jobbers call it
dull. One car load of bulk bacon, from
St. Louis, changed hands to-day, on terms
not to be given to the public. The salt!
of cask and box bacon were small, and a
further decline appears inevitable. Po-
tatoes are in good supply with some pre-
ference manifested for the Northern
Peachblows, Early Rose, Jackson Whites,
which command $2 75@3 00 per bar
rel, against $2 50 for other brands.
Oats are firmer, but quotations stand.
Hay is dull with a downward tendency ;
stocks of Western are accumulating.
New rec ipts of Texas syrup are on the
market, but no sales have been reported.
HiJes are dull and lower, with a further
downward tendency apparent. The de-
mand to-day was confined to one buyer,
and all offerings were taken up at lGfc,
A further drop of Jc. will probably take
place to-morrow, as buyers at the close
would only offer 1G Jc. for dry selected.
The demand for wool has slackened,
but prices are maintained. Advices
from Eastern markets report a steady
feeling, but are uniform in the expres-
sion of the belief that an advance in
prices would check the demand. The
recent failures have exercised a depress-
ing influence upon the hide and wool
markets, and although manufactured
goods have been selling mere freely, it
has been at very low prices, and while
manufacturers are disposed to purchase
raw material more freely, any advance in
prices would have a tendency to put a
stop to business. Manufacturers, in fact,
are purchasing cautiously, and holders of
wool are indifferent about selling except
to most responsible buyers.
COTTON FUTURES.
The weekly circular of Mr. Charles A.
Easton gives the following rap at " fu-
tures
It is one of the misfortunes of the day
that the speculative character of busi-
ness, since inflation made money abund-
ant, and men anxious for Bpeedy wealth,
has introduced, into nearly all lines of
trade, the element of " futures." Not
only in dealing in stocks and other secu-
rities, many of which have no intrinsic
value whatsver, but depend for their
market rate solely upon the tactics of
speculative operators, but also in trans-
actions in cotton, petroleum, and all other
products do "futures" obtain. And a
wonderfully demoraliz'ng element it is,
and for this reason, mainly: The man
who to-day offers to buy or sell cotton
next March or April at a given price,
while he may use the shrewdest judg-
ment, and base his figures upon what
may seem unanswerable arguments, is as
truly gambling as he who bets " while
the little joker is going round." There
may be, as it looks to-day, excellent rea-
sons why cotton should go up or down
within the next eight months, but no hu-
man being can forecast the future, no one
can tell what circumstances may arise to
Biimulate or lessen European or American
consumptions, and no one can say for
anything approaching a certainty that
complications in other lines of business
may not seriously affect the cotton mar-
ket. Apart from the injury which this
speculative business does to those who
engage in it directly, it is to be remem-
bered that it introduces a speculative ele-
ment into the business of the most tho-
rough going believer in "legitimate"
trade. He may figure his crops, his stock,
his consumption abroad and at home ;
his percentages of waste and loss ; his
weather reports and probabilities, and
his returns from planters as to the acre-
age laid down and the condition of the
plant, as much as he can. Were trade
legitimate, these data would be sufficient,
and would justify prompt action accord-
ing to results. But when there is a con-
stant " long" interest on the one side,
and a " short " interest on the other, and
when it is impossible to determine with
any approach to accuracy the relative
strength of the opposing forces ; when
an important crop item, which ought to
have weight, may be more than off-set by
a bold move on the part of some one
heavily interested, and having " futures "
to protect; all this figuring, while per-
fectly correct and reliable in itself, goes
for but little.
TIIE LOUISIANA SUGAR TARE QUESTION.
The St. Louis Democrat, commenting
on the recent sugar tare question, (which
fiually resulted in the recommendation of
12 per cent, on actual tare,) says:
It is a sign for the better to notice that
the New Orleans papers are beginning to
be aware of the feeling excited by the
action of the sugar producers. The very
excessive tare in packages of Louisiana
sugar has for some lime caused great in-
dignation, partlcurarly among Western
sugar dealers, who have often complained
and asked an abatement by the pro-
ducers, but in vain. The Louisiana men
were not only ungrateful for the sugges-
tion of an abatement, but were even an-
gered by the request. Several times
prominent dealers have signified their
intention to purchase elsewhere unless
their reqaests were complied with, but
as yet nothing haB been done by the Lou-
isiana people, who appear to regard all
interference as an impertinent invasion
of their rights, to be at once resisted.
This policy wore well for awhile, but is
finally wearing out ; sensible men in that
part of the houth perceive the fact, and
are endeavoring to bring about a better
state of things.
The New Orleans papers take up the
subject very cautiously, for it seems to be
a rather B ire topic, but they deal with it
very sensibly, aud in a plain way endea-
vor to show the people of Louisiana what
will be the result if they continue fixed
in their demands for the heavy tare now
in vogue. These results are heavier im-
portations of foreign sugar, a reduction
of the tariff on it, a gradual driving of
the Louisiana sugar from the market,
and the consequent decline of the sugar
culture in that State. These things are
by no means so problematical as they
might be supposed. A heavy tariff is
now levied by the government on imports
of sugar for the protection of Louisiana,
and this while the Louisiana crop does
not form one-fifteenth of the sugar used
in this country.
The foreign nations that are anxious
to supply us with this necessary article
are neither few nor far distant. The
greatest antagonist Louisiana might ex-
pect is Mexico. Eminent scientific men
have declared Mexico remarkably well
sui'ed in climate and soil for the cultiva-
tion of sugar, and it is a striking con
firuiation of their views to find that the
production of sugar in that country is
increasing, and bids fair to become one
of the most important industries. With
Mexico a sugar-raising country, and the
International Railroad completed, thou
sands of hogsheads of Mexican sugar
will come past Louisiana in transitu to
the West and North, and she will be
able to do nothing to prevent it.
UalveBton is already handling Mexican
Bugars, and a good portion of the receipts
of ljouisiana sugars come to thiB market
direct from the plantations by way of
Brashear City. St. l<oui8 will eventu-
ally look upon Galveston as a base of
supplies for sugar, coffee and all the pro
ducta of the tropica, especially such a;
require rapid transportation.
FINANCE AND TRADE.
T e following on the above subjects is
from the New York ,Shipping f.itt, and
merits thoughtful perusal by every
business man:
The course of trade is indicative of the
practice of greater economy among the
misses than at any period within a dozen
ytars. The number of buyers of mer-
chandise for distribution in all parts of
the country la not materially less than
before the advent of hard times, bat
there is a very great difference in the
amount of their bills and in the caution
they exercise in their business negotia-
tions. They have found, from daily con
tact with the consumers, that there is a
disposition to save—to purchase only
bo much as is absolutely needed, to neg-
lect costly luxuries, and to go along on a
safe, prudent basis. This feeling on the
part of consumers takes everything in
the way of speculation out of trade, and
causes buyers from distributing points to
purchase in email quantities and carry
light stocks. It is not so much the fear
of a further material shrinkage in values
as it is a feeling that this is a time, if
ever, when business ought to be kept
Bnug. There is a feeling, moreover, that
a hard winter for the masseB is before
us; that the ranks of the unem-
ployed will be uncommonly large,
and that the sum total of purchases
will be smaller, simply because of the
inability of many to buy. Some branches
of trade are affected by other causes than
the perplexities we speak of. Manufac-
turers are steadily growing in the West,
and are making a promising, though as
yet small, beginning in the South. The
West especially becomes every year more
and more independent of the older
States in the East for its Bupply of man-
ufactured goods, and in some lines
already buys much lees than formerly,
notwithstanding its rapid growth and
the presumable corresponding increase
of consumption. And then, too, the di-
rect importations of many kinds of for-
eign goods at the West have caused a
considerable change in the currents
of trade. All tlieBe influences, steadily
working, can not fail to have a decided
effect upon the grand total of the annual
purchases of the West from the East.
The export trade continues to be more cr
less hampered by the depression of ex-
change, arising from the scarcity and
high loaning rates for cash gold; yet the
outward tide of produce appears to be
rising a little, and that too with prices
of the leading staples higher relatively
at home than abroad. Indeed, a very
large per centage of the export business
partakes of a speculative character, and
it is a common thing now-a-days to Bhip
grain, petroleum, and other products, in
the face of adverse shipping margins.
This is, doubtless, one of the fruits of
daily and hourly communication with the
Old World by cable.
COTTON*
The demand to-day was light, and
sales only amounted to 1472 bales, in-
cluding 324 bales sold last evening. Of-
ferings have been liberal, but the de-
mand was deficient. The Exchange re-
ports the market quiet and figures un-
changed.
