THE TENTH AVENUE SEW Nene eens vestigation of the Charges made by Mr MGraveg agninet she Oomamton Oowueahe’ ‘Con- tinued: Srxrn_ Day—Faivay, Jung 25. Charles H. Wheeler examined—Was the contrac- tor for the sewer in Thirty-seventh street; about sixty feet of it was rejected by the Inspector, and taken up, because it had been laid after the Ist of December; the expense of rebuilding was about $120; had had no conversation with the officers of the department about getting the money back; had said he ought to have been paid for extra work on the ‘Tenth avenue sewer; had had such a conversation with Mr. Flenders. Cross-examined—Knew of nothing but the 60 foet being built before the 17th March; laid about 250 feet after that time; in the part of the sewer taken up there was a drain from which the water flowed on the green work, causing a settlement of about 6 inches of sewer for about ten feet—the rost of the work was gress the person who did so had no per- mit to make that drain; it was done while the work was suspended; Mr. Smith, the Inspector General, pronounced the work good, as did Mr. Shute, the Inspector Of the sewer, appointed by the Croton Aquoduct Department. Direct resumed—Thought it was a brick drain; had no knowledge but from statements of othe: was there when they dug it up; Mr. Pomeroy ha charge of taking ve this part of the work; he was witness’ partner; had made no claim, but had thought if others had a right he had a right; he was opposed to it at the time he took it up; had two or three conversations with Alderman Den- man, who asked him how he was getting along with the sewer; Mr. Denman was in the brick, lime, and cement business; and the witness had procured the brick, and all such materials, from bim for the last eighteen months; all the conversa- tion was with respect to finishing the sewer; Mr. Denman did not know he was laying brickwork ; stated nothing to him about it; Mr. D. never told him he ought not to do it; never saw the Alder- man after he was directed to stop the work, until he went to see him about thefbrick ; it was the duty of Mr. Craven to stop the work, and witness re- ceived a notice from him, on the 28th or 29th of November, directing him to stop on the first of December ; after the sewer was rebuilt, it was ac- cepted by the department ; it had not been paid for, as it had not been confirmed by the Common Coun- *. ci Juliua W. Adams, examined.—Was an engineer, engaged 20 years on public works; and had b grert deal todo with bydraulie masonry; wa: guged onthe Dry Dock, at Brooklyn; had never seen hyrdraulie masonry laid in the winter; the latest he had known it go on was the 10th Novem- ber—oxcept in a peculiar case, involving some mil- lions ot profit to the Erie Railroad Company, so as to enable the road to be opened in the fall instead of the spring; the parapet walls were laid at that time; wonld not have laid them had it caused in- jury to any part of the work ; had charge of forty miles of the Erie Railroad line at that time; was editor of the Mechanic's Magazine, and a pupil of Major Whistler ; the work spoken of on the Erie road had stood well since ; it was done ia the mid- dle of the day; it was in Susquehanna county, Penn ; had never been engaged in building sewers in cities, but had elsewhere ; none so far down as 10 or 12 feet ; had built them as deep to the bottom of the sewer; the atmosphere was very little different in the bottom of the sewer from the surface ; did not believe a sewer could be built 10 feot below ground in winter without being injured; witness would prohibit the building of sewers in the winter season. John P. Flender, Water Surveyor, of the Croton Aquaduct Department, ined.—Was consulted with regard to sewers; was not so with regard to the one in the Tenth avenue Crosz-examined —Was not consulted with respect to the construction of sewers; was brought up a blacksmith and wheelwright; had been connected with the building ef sewers for three years; only visited the Tenth avenue sewer three times. (The instructions to surveyors and inspectors put in evi- dence and read b Craven.) To Mr. Craven.—These instructions never received the sanction of the Common Council. Mr. Craven’s case here elosed. John O’Connor called and examined by Mr. Til- lou —Was forty-one years of age, and a practical mason for twenty-seven years past; was perfectly acquainted with sewer work; was inspector on the Tenth avenue sewer throughout: was appointed by the Board onthe 11th August, 1851, and Mr. Craven signed he trench of that sewer had to be blasted out efrock; the length of the sewer was about 1,050 or 1,080 feet; in the first part there was no blasting, but in about three-fourths of it it was blasted; the Avenue wag not graded, and the rocks had to be blasted to grade the avenue, and this blasting de layed the work of the sewer: there remained about two hundred and sixty feet to be finished on Dec. The engineer instructed witness to re- main while the bla as to he done; could not tell when the 260 feet was tinished; thought it was some time in January; saw all the work upto its com- pletion ; it was good, in his opinion—first rate ; the Is were as good as he had ever seen used on milar Work—as good as the specification called the workmen were the best_he ever saw on simi- Mr. Pollock a certificate; o the Chief Dngineer, aven declined to produce the paper given by witness): the Eighth avenue was passable as far.as Forty-fourth or Forty-fifth street, ut that time; the Ninth avenue was impassable from Thirty-eighth to Forty-second street; the place was not graded, although there was a con- tract for so doing; there was a paasage from Forty- second street to Tenth av there were drains built from dwellings t enue sewer, which ed for the purpose of er being inspected, was open ten to fourteen ys; it was freezing and thawing at times; as_ in- spector of the grading, witness gave notice the hole was dangerous; water got in, and he had it bailed out on several occasions; believed the hole being open solong was injurious to the cement; was at the meeting of the Committee on Sewers, at the of- fice of the Engineer; was examined before the committee on the Tenth avenue sewer, and answered as now; thonght Alderman Denman was rather ex- act at that time; he was more so than Alderman Barr; Mr. Edwin Smith was examined there; thought the Street Commissioner was there; saw Mr. Craven there; Mr. James Pollock (the con- tractor) did not know Mr. Craven, and witness pointed him out to bh Mr. Efwin Smith, City Had been engaged in the ess of surveyor and civil engineer, in the city 1831; was Well ac- quainted with building ‘sewers and hydraulic ma- sonry; had known them to be built in the winter time, and well built; the one in Roosevelt street, from the bulkhead to Chatham street—through Chatbam and Pearl streets to Elm street—one of the largest sewers in the city—was built in 1846-7, was still in good repair, portions of it were built all thro menced in September; with pro but not sworn to; day eyor, examined.— no danger in building sewers in winter; was surve art built b the Tenth avenue sewer; the Pollock extended from Fort line of For ixth si grade of that sewe sionally; it wae built in conformity with the surve: noticed the work and materials were very good; the trench was thirteen feet ¢ inches from the sur- face of the street to the side of the sewer; thought that the brick might be dipped at the bot- tom of the trench, and laid, without freezing; did not see the sewer after it was completed; there was a contract existing between the Street Commissioner and My, James Pollock for grading that part of the that contract could not have been peaform- ewer was built and finished; the av of rock to be blasted to bring the was about the avenue would not have been passable that winter if the sewer had not been finished; the Th enue was almost ble; the Fourth, above Thirty-eighth street ied by the railroad; venue at all, but ¢ the Fifth avenue was ir ndition, though | passable; the Sixth was rather in good order as tar as Vifty-seventh street, where it terminates; Broad- able; the building a sewer ne! Thirty eighth stre th was in very bad condition on account of sewer building there; the Second avenue as far as Twenty-eighth street was passable; the rest is not a road 5 witness thought it was important that the Tenth avenue should be passable; it was now the only decent outlet from the city; when before the Committee on Sewers, he knew & messenger was sent to look for Mr. Craven, and be could not find him » far as he knew the examination was conducted with an apparent desire to get at the truth; thought it was Alderman Den- ven.

Examination of Mr. Smith continued—Did not reco! whether he left the office with the com- mittee; his impression was they all came out at the same time; there Waeno other business transacted but that of the Tenth avenue sewer during his pre- sence; Mr. O'Connor, the Inspector, was the only poreon of whom questions were asked; Mr. Pollock made same re marks the Street. Commissioner wa examined before witness; did not recollect’ whether Mr. Craven’s inner office was open during the time witners was engaged at present in constructing the iunne! at Murray Hill, on the Harlem Railroad; had built t of the largest sewers that were built in thiseity; bad also had charge of a many minor ones; portions of rome of these were built in the winter season; the sewer, of which a Portion was built inthe winter season was in Chatham ttom with dydraulic cement, th believed thes ptrect, th part with up sewers had begr ont—Alderman {Tiemann (in the chair), and | | not d order since; never hoard to the con- ead, the atmosphere in Fg ey ae warmer than the air above; the current of air coming out is more like steam; had seen s box of mortar pushod into the mouth of the sewer over night, and not fro- zen in the morning, and this when it was vig) outside; but not a hard frost; if bricks wore wol in water kept at the mouth of the sewer, and immediately laid and covered, it might bo safely done as a matter of necessity, but he would rather not have brick wet at that season; would rather have them sprinkled, not soaked; it would be a ays difficult matter to tell what the effect of open- ing the sewer in the freezing weather of April would be, unless they knew how it had been treated dur- ing ita construction; had not built any of the Mar- ray Hill tunnelling in the cold woather; that was ‘al éxrecod to the weather. Cross-examined by Mr. Willard—The effect of frost on green cement would be to make it crumble, to destroy the life of it; it. was necessary, in order to secure the best hydraulic masonry, to exclude the frost altogether; ifthe temperature of the brick was below freezing point he should think the cement would not adhere; in the best hydraulic cement work, or masonry, it was not possible to knock off the cement without injuring the surface of the brick, though he had taken up a piece of what was said to be the best in New York, and had dono so; it was work built by the Croton Aqueduct Depart- ment, from distributing basin through Forty-se- cond street, from westerly side of Tenth to be- yond centre of Ninth avenue—about 950 feot; it was very difficult to get the best hydraulic masonry in these sewers; the cotractors for that were Thomp- son & §Price, I believe; it was a difficult matter to get the best cement, and difficult to get laborers to mix it properly; some contractors pay all atten- tion and some scarcely any; there were several classes of contractors in this city; as a general thing the contractors he had had under him paid a great deal of attention; the sewer in Bonerele street was built in 1848-9; bad seen a portion of it takenapart; there was a sewer running up from Chatham street into the Bowery, and that was broken into it; that part was laid in the winter season—one object being that the streets, which were narrow, might be made peenis anoeae that a part was sevonteon feet elow the surface, and the frozen ground was taken advantage of te hold up the bank, as there was a heavy building on the corner; the lower half of it | was laid in hydraulic cement; the cement was mixed | in small quantities in the bottom, the upper arch | put on and covered immediately; the top of the cut was open; most of it was laid between ten and three o'clock, straight on, without regard to the cold; the bricks were sprinkled; they were handed down from the surface as dry as a bone; did not think they were at any time ‘below freezing point, | on account of their extreme dryness; these bos | were piled up, and a large majority of them shielded from the atmesphere—and they took the inner ones down, saving the surface ones for the spring; the sewer had subsequently been opened at two points, in Chatham street and City Hall place, and ex- amined by witness, and all the work was found good; that in Chatham street was built in the win- ter; thought there was no danger in building sewers in the winter, as, with proper care, the frost might be excluded; he had seen little of the sewers since the | Croton Aqueduct Department had the management; had seen a portion of the Tenth avenue sewer, and the work was good; had not seen the portion built aftor the Ist December; there was a high bank which sheltered a part of it; the cold west wind would | sweep with much greater violence down the streets than the avenue. (Tne witness was cross-examined, in an argumentative manner, at some length.) He considered the rule to lay aside work on the lat | December, as a general one, good, *but there were cases in the city of New York, where it must often be departedfroi; was employed as surveyor of the | Tenth avenue, regulating by Mr. Pollock, and by | the Street Commissioner's direction, ordered him to | continue the regulating, irrespective of the sewer; but he could not do this, as he was bound to put a bed of macadamized stone, twenty feet wide and twelve inches thick, through the avenue, and he | could not put that on till the sewer was finished, as | it was through the centre of the avenue; there was a pressing necessity to get that avenue graded, as almost all the other avenues were broken’ up and impassable; all the macadamising had been laid from Forty second to Forty-sixth street; below Forty-second street it was very bad—that wasto say, about Fortieth street; at the north end, at Forty-sixth street, it was about two feet above grade, but it was sloped off in about ten feet, so as to be travelled; there was macadamizing out as far as Fifty-third street, and the avenue was gravelled, and good travelling as far as tee Gp street; there was a new grade established last June, to which the portion from Forty-second street to For- ty-sixth street had been regulated; did not new re- member how much was macadamized beyond Forty- sixth street; the ordinance for the grading was passed before that for the sewer, and it was found necessary to build the sewer, and the Street Com- missioner, on the 8th October, 1850, presented a re- solution for building the sewer, and the contract for the Beanie was held back, (one was entered into, it appeared, on the (ith August, and the other on the 24th, or ten days after,) and the Street Commis- sioner said a great deal about it, and wished him | (witness) to go a-head, and get the avenue in tra- velling order: witness did not represent to him that this particular one should be proceeded with more than the others he was engaged on; his (the Commis- sioner’s) orders applied to this one alone: witness did not receive any of the compensation usually paid till the work was finished, and the assessmont list confirmed and lodged in the office; had told Mr. Craven it was very desirable that that sewer should be completed, tbat the regulating aight go on; the sewer was all staked out and his work done before that portion of the sewer was put down; it was then the business of the inspector to see that the sewer was laid to the proper grade; it wasnow thatof the surveyor; there was some blasting went on after the stakes were put down; was on the work more thanonce a week before the Ist December, but was not there afterwards; at the time he put down the stakes there were about eight working days under the contract; they were put in for the joint purpose of the sewer and the grading. Q.—Were they not put there with a direct view of enabling the contractor to go on after the Ist December ? A.—-No, not on my part; I should have put them there if I had thought or known he was cing to stop on the Ist December; that was no Bust of mine; I should have compelled him to go on with the grading, and they were necessary for that; the contractor might have gone on and com- pleted his macadamizing and grading, but then the effect would have been, that inatead of having it on the lst of April or May, we should not have had it in travelling condition now; it would not have been worse than the avenue between Fortieth and Forty- second streets; but then Broadway, and the Seventh, Kightb, and Ninth avenues were in good travelling order to Forty-second street, which is a broad lead- ing street; hence the necessity of having this avenue, above Forty-second street, graded as soon as pos- sible; had mentioned the matter to Mr. Craven; knew nothing about it being laid before the Board of the Croton Aqueduct Department; had orders from the Street Commissioner to have all the blast- ing done during the winter, and to get on as quickly as possible; they were not ready to receive the ma- e duimisiog until Ist April; if the trench had been all open and ready, the 200 feet of masonry might have béen laid, with men enongh,in a week: after | the Ist January, he had ridden over the trench of | the sewer; it was notpaved; it was notreally fit for travel in the winter; it was pretty goed travelling in April, and the contract was finished in the latter end of May: beginning on 17th March, the day when the contract allowed the work to proceed, it would have been done in three or four weeks; the masonry could have been completed in a week, if all were the contractor could, by commencing the gon the 24th March, have completed it by the middle of Apr it would, however, have required some thirty or forty good laborers, and he | doubted if they could be procured without’ paying enormoutly high, but they could have been pro- | cured; by extraordinary exertions the contract | might have been finished at the time it actually | was finished, without laying masonry between the | Ist December and the 17th March ; Mr. Denman remarked to witness that he was very anxious to get at the facts—that was, hefore the meeting of the committee ; very few words had passed be- tween them on the subject ; the alderman mention- ed it first; might have intimated that he was fa- yorable to the acceptance of the work, as he had always been so, and thought the rule was too arbi- trary a one; had been notified to attend the com- mittee, by a messenger from the Croton Aqueduct Department ; on recollection, he said before, that he came out with the committee—he now remembered they were left in session. é , by Mr. Craven.—Do you recollect talking to me about the first December, and my asking you, if you were in my place, would you let it go on? A.—T ave no recollection of any such question, or my answer . Q.—Do you recollect saying, you need not give him any permission, but I ‘can tell him him he can take the risk, or to that effect ? A.—I think I did use some such expression, andMr. Craven said he could o on, because if he did he must allow others to do the same. Adjourned till the following day, Tuesday, at four o'clock, P. M.

Torepar, June 29—6 P. M. ‘There was considerable speculative excitement in the stock market to-day, and prices for severai of the fancies advanced one and two per cent. Some of the smaller class of stocks have recently taken curious turns, and ap- pear tobe feverish and unsettled. North American Trust bas beon particularly changeabie, lately. A few days since it went up to 17, then down to 15, and to-day it closed at 18, Reading Railroad advanced, this morning, 34 per cent; New Jersey Zino, +4; Stoningten, 44; Nor- wich and Worcester, 34; Reading Railroad, 15, gan Central Railroad, 1; Pennsylvania Coal, 13, Tagua Transit, {; Portamouth, 1s; Long Island, {; Erie Income Bonds, +{. At the second board there was anac- tive demand for Erie Railroad at a farther improvement of 1 per cent ; Reading Railroad went up 34, with large wales; New Jersey Zine, 44; Mortis Canal, 34; Canton Company, 1; Nicaragua, 44. The market closed firm, with a better speculative feeling than we have noticed for many weeks. Great discrimination is exercised in pur- chasing stocks. Wer see none of that headless, reckless disposition, so frequently exhibited among operators, The advance is confined principally to the really good stocks, and it is the result of the abundance of money, and the reduced rate of interest ruling in Wall street, in connection with the comparatively high dividends paid by moat of the leading securities onjthe market. The rapid rise in the market value of the stock of the Pennaylvania Coal Company has created a great deal of inquiry regarding the present position of the company's affairs, and the prospects of its coal business. The first production of coal by this company was in 1850, when 115,000 tons were brought to market. In 1851, 315,000 were mined and marketed. At that time the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company acted as agents for the Peun- sylvania Company. The Pennsylvania Company now transacts its own business, but the Dalaware and Hudson Canal Company continues to transport the coal to msr- ket, there being, we believe, no other outlet for the coa, mined on the property of the Pennsylvania Company. The: net profits of this company, from the sale of coal, during the past two years, amounted to $200,000, which would have given the stockholders a dividend last Feb- Tuary, but. the management having determined to sell its own coal and to go more extensively into the produc- tion, it was deemed expedient to postpone the payment of a dividend until greater progress hag been made in the sales and delivery of their coal. The probable cause of the recent rapid rise in the price of stock is the fact that the coal known as the Pittston coal, having proved to be of a most superior quality, the demand has been so great that the company have had great difficulty in sup- plying the demand. The business this year is, therefore, likely to be very large, which, with the surplus in hand at the commencement of the season, will, it is supposed, warrant the payment of a handsome dividend. Since writing the above, we learn that the company have concluded to pay out part of its surplus earnings, in the shape of a dividend, and have given notice that three anda half per cent will be paid on the 12th of | July. The capital upon which a dividend will be paid amounts to two millions four hundred thousand dollars, This dividend is paidfrom the net earnings of 1850 and | 1851, leaving the profite of this year, 1852, untouched. ‘The semi-annual interest on the bonds of the Rock River Valley Railroad Company. of Wisconsin, due the first of July, will be paid at the company’s office, No. 16 Exchange place. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port. to day, amounted to $110.185; payments, $24.- 175 92—balance. $4.445.696 98. ‘The demand for foreign exchange for remittance by the steamship Europa, for Liverpool, to-morrow (Wednes- day), has been moderately active. In consequence of a more limited supply of bills on the market. rates have been maintained with a great deal of firmness. We quote bills on London at 1044.2 101¢ per cent premium; on Paris, Of. 1744 @ 5f. 15; Amsterdam, 40%{ a 41; Bre- men, 781479; Hamburg, 364 a 363g. The Europa will take out a large amount of specie. Engagements have already been made for more than halfa million of dollars, principally gold. The Seventh Ward Bank has declared a semi- dividend of four and a half per cent. The Stoughton Branch Railroad Company have de- clared a dividend of three dollars per share ; the Boston and Lowell Railroad, 334 per cent; the Boston and Providence Railroad, 3}, percent; the Franklin Insu- rance Company 4 percent; the Norton Copper Company, located in Taunton and Norton, divide 15 per cent for the past year; the Old Colony Iron Comyany, a divi- dend of 10 per cent. The Dean Cotton and Machine Company, Taunton, have divided 1234 per cent, and the lust three annual dividends of this company have amounted to 6234 per cent. The Michigan and Southern Railroad Company have resolved to increase their capital stock to $1,230,000, the new shares to be distributed among the present share- holders, pro vata, according to the amount paid at the time of closing the subscription books on the 23d June, but not exceeding ten per cent on such amount; such shares to be paid for on the 10th of July, at par, which as the stock ia at over twenty per cent premium. gives the fortunate stockholders a handsome bonus. This is done to divide all the surplus assets of the company previous toits approaching junction with the Northern Indiana Company, which two will become one and indivisible. A special meeting of the stockholderrs of the Boston and Providence Railroad was held on Saturday, at which the vote passed at the late annual meeting, rejecting the report in regard to rendering aid to the Providence and Bristol road, was reconsidered, and the whole matter left to the discretion of the directors. The quartz crushing mining companies ot California have very generally proved failures, the best of them doing nothing more than paying expenses, and most of them actually falling daily in debt, This is pretty nearly the result we anticipated; and any new companies formed will prove no more profitable than the old ones, There has been so much misrepresentation, so much deception practiced in this, as in nearly every other mining compa- ay in the country. that people have been shy, and not easily drawn into the numerous schemes which have re- cently been put upon the market. This has been for- tunate for the public. There is probably nothing so un- certain and hazardous as mining operations of all kinds, no matter what the metal extracted may be, Ignorance, bad management, extravagance, and frequently the failure of ore in the mines, are the causes of most of the losses which generally attend this species of enterprise, The companies formed usually commence with enor- mous capitals, and then run rapidly into debt for mining operations, which throws the entire concern into the hands of its creditors. Capitalists must bear in mind that this is the last day for receiving bids for the twe hundred thousand dollars ofeight per cent first mortgage bonds of the Milwaukie and Mississippi Railroad Company. Until 3 o'clock this (Wednerday) afternoon, bids will be received at the office of Delano, Punlevy & Co., 89 Wall street, for sums of not less than $1,000 each, These bonds are convertible nto the stock of the company at the will of the holder any time within five years from the first of May, 1952 They have coupons attached, payable January Ist and July Ist, each year, at the banking house of Duncan, Sherman & Co., and the principal redeemable at the same place in 1862, The general banking law of Wisconsin authorizes the deposit of railroad bonds issued by rail- road companies of that State, for banking purposes. for one-half the capital of any bank established under that law. The security offered for this investment is ample, and the high rate of interest they draw must attract the attention of capitalists. These bonds are a part of an issue of $600,000, secured by mortgage on the road from Milwaukie to Rock River, in Wisconsin, a distance of seventy miles, and covers depot grounds, depots. car and machine shop, and the road equipments, They are ia. sued to meet the expenses incurred, and to be incurred, in the construction and equipment of the road. Thirty: six and one-half miles are completed, and now opened. and the whole is under contfact to be completed by the first of November next. Thirteen and one-half miles more, from Eagle to Whitewater, will be opened’ by the first of Aug xt, and twelve miles more, from White. water to Milton, in September. The iron and ties are purchased for the whole distance, and a considerable por- tion of the grading done, The estimated cost of the road to Rock River is $1,250,000, about eight hundred thou- sand dollars of which has already been expended in its construction and equipment. ‘The mi-annual interest falling due in this city, o the Ist day of July, 1852, on the following named securi- ties, will be paidon and after that date. at the office of Winslow.

The cost of the road, it is expected, will ultimately reach st $5,250,000. The recent annual report of the Chesapeake and Dela- ware Canal Company, is thus referred to by the Philadel- phia Ledger :— “From it we learn that the revenue during the past year is less by the sum of $25,788 than that of the previous ear. and $8.000 less than the year ending two ago. is the report accounts for by the severity of tl fe winter, i—three or As this sum is less than the amount of the , and hence the decline im the price of the stock. This decline in revenue, occurring when a steady annual increase of $15 000 to $20,000 was looked for. and « dividend expected by many within the present year. has caused much disappointment, Besides the se- verity of the winter, the long drought of autumn prevented a part of the Susquehannah trade from passing. through the Chee © and Delaware Canal, and the long continued frost of the past winter has kept this trade back, and closed. 4 the canal longer this spring than usual. Another cause of the falling off of the canal trade and tolls, is the use of steam in place of sail vessels in - the coarting trade. particularly that between Philadelphia and Norfolk. Richmond and other ports on or near the peake Bay But still more, to the operations of the Central Railroad. in attracting to that more rapid route a considerable portion of the light and valuable mer. cbandire, which had formerly been carried by way of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, and the Baltimore and Ohio Road, to and from the West and Southwestern States. The trade lost from these causes, the report ex- esses the hope, may be made up by increased trade the Baltimore and Ohio Rail , when that “Work shall be completed. The Teport very lainly points out ‘ition for the trade hitherto enjoyed by the canal. while it does not very conclusively bring to view new sources.”’ Stock Exchange. 94 326 shs Penn Coal Co.. lt OL” 100d 360 114 0 5000 HL Imp. ‘47... 8) Dahs Del Hud Canal 50 State Bank... 1063 100 do 0 IIL State Bank 66 Ocean Bank. 100 do. 0 {4 Hudson Riv RR. b00 25 Mion Cent RR 4 50 do 125 do. @ do ng 75 N India is BOARD. 100 ahs Erie 90 0 5 9035 : 30 90% 125 Penna Goai Co Py 210 Nic Transit Co ve 5 do. ig 100 do ; 50 Nor& WorRR. 18%, 1650 do... .. 100 Hndaon River RR. 100 Stonington RR.
