Call loans are freely offered at six per cent, and the banks are much in want of short business paper. The accumulation of specie bas become burdensome to the banks, and it will be reduced to a more moderate amount. We do not think the banks wil! have much trouble in so doing. ‘The demand for shipment is likely to be very large before the middle of March. The banks can spare three or four millions without feeling it much; but they mey not beable to stop the drain at the de sired point, and may be compelled to contract again, to renew their supply of specie. At present, money is abundant in Wall street, and the brokers are full of fancy stovks. They find it easy enough to carry the entire load, but they have no particular desire to do to for any length of time. The security is of such a precarious charscter that a few days may extin- guiah, a wide margin, and leave holders with a large balance sgainst them. The brokers are disposed to accommodate and let outsiders have all they want of the fancies, at the merket price, bat they do not seem disposed to take many on these favorable terms. The probability is that they have not forgotten late losses, and upon the principle thata bornt child dreads the fire, will keep clear of Wall themselves, and must be content with operating with each other. The news from Europe is not so favorable as speculators tor a rise expected, and the market receded under its influence. The great aim of the brokers is to bring in buyers from outside of ‘Wall street, and put upon them the bulk of the weight which high prices has made particularly bur- densome. The accumulation of money in the hands of those prone to speculation, may bring in pur- chasere to 5 moderate extent, but the community at large have not the abihty or disposition to take the riek, and the movement must, therefore, for the want of materisl, be limited. When the recent enormous decline in fancy stocks commenced, there were very few fancy stocks in the street. They were in the bands of outside speculators, and the loss fell on that class of operators. At the lowest dip of the market, the brokers became purchasers, and they ate now striving to get outsiders to take them again at high prices. Tney may attract a few, but not enough to materially relieve the market. ‘The exportation of specie from this port last week, ‘was as annexed:— Surpats oF SPecTE yROM THE Port or New York.

The returns for Saturday, the 10th inst., will show a cecrease of neariy that amount. It is re- ported that the Conard steamer from Boston, on ‘Weeneaday next, will take out nearly half a million of specie. It is possible that orders for part of this may be countermapded. One of the most important measures to be dis cussed ia our Legislature is the increase of the rates of freight and fare on railroads, by which business ‘will be proportionably diminished, anda turned into ebannels out of the State of New York. Various eonventions, reports, appointments of committees of imvestigation, and other plausible preliminary Movements, have been made by persons largely imteresied in New York Central Railroad stock, for the purpose of boistering the price of the same. A meeting of the stockhoide1s was, ® short time ago, held at the Capitol in Albany, at which a commit- tee of investigation was appointed, which is to make a report next June; out in the meantime the Legislature will,if possible, be prevailed ppon to increase the above rates. Why is not this report made early enough to be laid betore the Legialatare at ite present session, to aid them in the considera- tion of the matter? This question should be governed by section 33 of the act passed inthe year 1850, to authorize the formation of railroad companies, by which the Legislature may from time to time alter or reduce the rate of freight, fare, or other profits, upon such road, when, on an examination of the amounts received and expended, to be made by the State Engineer and Surveyor and the Comptroller, they shall ascertain that the Bet income derived by the company from ali sourses, for the year then last past, shall have ex:ceded an annual income of ten per cent upon the capital of the corporation actually expended. On the 22d dsy of July last, the directors of this company made a report, which was farnished to them by the Superintendent, as to its basiness for the fifteen months ending tha 31st day of July last, by which it appears that the actual and estimated receipts from passengers and freight and miscel- laneous receipts, during the above period, were $6,809,506 33. ‘The disbarsments for transportation expenses, during the same period, were $3,555,094 29; leaving a balance of $3,254,412 04. Betore any advance of charges on freights and passengers is permitted, it should be ascertained whether more than ten per cent dividends have not been made by the company on the amount actually expended in constructing the road. In the year 1845, the fare Sor passengers was rednced to two cents per mile, epen the application of many people who petitioned the Legislature for taat purpose; and a remon- wrance of the several railroad companies on the line of reilway from Albaay to Buffalo, made to the Legia- iatare against those petitions for a reduction of their fare, which was then four cents per mile, contained the following facts and words :— ‘The whole line of railway from Buffalo to the Hudson river has cost about nine millions of dollars. This in- clades the Troy and Schenectady Maliroad. The want of tal .m our State induced the nesessity of a perishable m of structure upon this line of railway. fe have, the whole distance west of Schenectady, a wood track, on which flat iron bare are laid. tof strength in this structure, the constantly caiure of ite material, the manifest advai of the iroo tracks in New England, and the pulse that | u lating in the public mind to compel us to higher speed, show that we must calealate, also, upon an iron ‘rack on this line, and that it must be laid 4own as quick a practicable. A wood structure will endure but avout #.« years, when the process of renewal must commence. The roads, by reason of their wood structure, are entirely incompetent to sustain the busi- nese which, at reduced rates of fare, would be necessary to remunerate the stockholders. To relay my = with a aye] rad would, at the present cost of tron, re- about ¢ * million of doilars. It will be found it none cf the companies east of Attica have been able to divide over right per cent for the last year. The Attica and Halfsic Railroad Company have mace about fourteen per cent, which results from the very small cost of that road. it bar cost about ten thousand dollars per mile, while the cont of all the others, exept the Tona- wan’. considerably exeveds twenty thousand dollars perm ‘The Albacy acd Schenectady Railroad cost about torty thousand collars per mile, and the Utica and sebenectady, inclading the cost of the locomotive power, cost about eighteen thousand dollars per mie, and paid twelve per cent dividend in 1840, with yearly increasing eurplas. An act passed April 2, 1853, in the Legislature of the State of New York, authorized the consolidation of the and Schenectady, and = Troy, Utica and Schenectady, Syracaseand Utica, Roches- ter and Syracuse, Baffalo and Lockport, Mohawk Valley, Syracuse and Utica direct, Buffalo and Ro obester, Rochester, Lockport, and Niagara Falls, or apy two or more of them. On the first day of May, 1853, they were consoli- dated, and the valus‘of exch road estimated sccor- ding to the price its stock was selling at in Wall st. ‘The following prices were then given for some of these stocks in the Board of Brokers: Albany and SGebenectady, 140; Ution and Schenectady, 190; NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, FEB ait Syracuse and Utica, 183; Syracuse and Rochester, 164; Baffalo and Rochester, 184; and Mobawk Val- — ® road never made, or intended to be made, The total cost of the whole road is repreeented to be $33,859,423, of which smount $10,773,823 is debt, and the balance, $23,085,600, capital paid in, The length of the road between Albany and Baffalo is only 298 miles, and the entire length of the waole line of the roads above menticned, now called the New York Central Railroad, is 504 miles open. The part of this debt which was created to repre- sent the prices these stocks were selling at when the consolidation was made, above the amount of capital actually paid in, which is supposed to be about the whele debt of $10,773,823, and perhaps a greater amount, is entirely fictitious, The law Hmiting the dividends to ten per cent annually up- on the amount of capital actually, fairly, and bo- nestly expended, will not justify the payment of the principal and interest upon bonds made and issued in consideration of the fictitious prices paid at the [Board of Brokers for the stocks, These bonds, to the amount created to represent the prices the stocks were selling at above the cap- ital actually paid in and used in constructing and equipping the roads, should be extinguished or de- clared void by our Legislature, or at least the rates of freight and fare should be redaced for the benefit of trade and business facilities, to such a degree as to produce no more than ten pet cent annual divi- dend on the amount of money actually paid in and expended in the manner contemplated in the law. It will be very difficult, unless an appraisement is made, to ascertain the actual legal capital of this road, ea large amount of the capital of the respec- tive roads was injudiciously expended in the con- struction of them, and paid back to the stockhold- ers in the name of dividends, commencing from the organization of the roads, long before the same were completed or had earned any money. It is certain, however, that the whole 504 miles open is not now worth, and probably did and surely should not have cost, more than $15,000,000, which is $30,000 per mile, and that the same can now be built and equipped for that sum. This estimate is made by a comparison with the cost of other roads which were recently bullt. The,Brooklyn city rail- roads, which were built last summer, with the best of materials, and fully equipped, only cost, includ- ing the taking up and repaiting of the streeta, $30,000 per mile; and the I!inois Central Railroad, which is 731 milea long, including equipments, about $17,000,000, which is $23,000 a mile, when the labor and materials of every description were extremely high. The Central Railroad has lately declared two semi-annual dividends of four per cent each; but the interest on the $10,773,823 is also paid out of the earnings, which, added together, will equal divi. dends of at least sixteen per cent, indirectly made in violation of the above mentioned act of 1850, which restricts all dividend to not more than ten Per cent annually on the amount actually expended in constructing the road. The above roads were appraised at double the actual cost of them when they were consolidated—some of them having re- peatedly increased their capital to pay off the cost of repairs and expenses, which should have boen paid out of the income, and for the purpose of indi- rectly making dividends above the amount suthor- ized by lew. Many commenced psytng divi- dends to the stockholders soon after the sub. scription was made for the stock, before the comple- tion, of the same or anything had been earned. This course was pursued by the Utica and Schenestady Railroad, which is supposed to bave been admira- bly managed from the time of the distribution of ite stock. in the year 1840 it paid a dividend of twelve per cent, with a yearly increasing surplus, end afterwards made several extra dividends; but at different times increased its capital, which re- duced the cost of this stock to sixty per cent to the original stockholders. With the three millions of bonds lately issued, the capital stock and unpaid bonds now amount to $36,859,423. The stock was sold at 122 in the Board of Brokers, on the 27th day of June, 1854, and has since been sold as low as 76; but the latter price is fifty per cent above its value. No charter is now required to authorize any person or person: to build railroads. Any number of persons, no. lees than twenty-five, may form a company for the purpose of constructing, maintaining and operating 4 railroad for public use, in the conveyance of per- sove and property,and make and file articles of association in the offize of the Secretary of State. A direct route from the Hudson river at Albany to Baffalo, may be made much less than two hundred and ninety <ight miles, and, at the rate of $30,000a mile, it would cost less than $9,000,000, which is about one fourth of the capital stock and debts of the New York Central Railroad. The business and income of this road durmg the past year have far exceeded the amount of the same in all preced- ing years, and, indeed, all expectations, and greatly diminished the revenue of the the consolidation, which after year, from the day of their or; } Dai dividsods’of 10, 12, extra dividends. ala from warebouss, during the week ending aad in- clading Thursday, Feb. 8, 1855:— Movemests of Formax Dar Geops, Sor Consumption.

Brown sheetings and shirtings are rather brisker, but not firmer; while bleached sheetings and shirt- ings and cotton flannels rule quiet and depressed in price. Denims and drills are selling more freely, and sre steady. Duck is as last noticed. Ging- hams are inactive and languid. Since the auction sales reported in our last, there has been a ratier quiet yet steady feeling in the markst for lawns. Osnaburgs are du!l aud heavy. Printing cloths and prints are in demand at former quotations. Stripes and ticks are unchanged. Woolen goods are attracting very little attention in a wholesale way. Blankets are quiet and languid. There is something doing in fancy cassimeres, at old rates. Most other articles are partially unnoticed, and qaotations therefor are nominal. In this respect the trade has not been so backward for some sea, sons, and there are no very encouraging symptoms of an improving tendency, which is the worst fea- ture of all. Foreign productions are beginning to be more frae- ly dealt in, especialiy some choice and standard articles in the dress goods line, which are seemingly the most needed. Cottons are doing better. Deal- ers anticipate a retrenchment in personal expenses among the working classes throughout the country, who, after all, are the most profitable customers; and as it is presumed that they will not want very expensive fabrics, there is a stroog inclination to Provide supplies of substantial and yet cheap com- medities, to meet their wants, which, it 1s believed, will be kept within the narrowest possibie limits: This occasions the increasing animation in the better styles ot cotton goods. Silks are generally in fair supply, but there is no great inquiry for such as are here. A few patterns of dreas silks, not common in the market, are alone much inquired for. Prices are without essential change. Woollens are quite dull, and are quoted mostly nominal in value. Tae imports are still moderate, and factors are not ad- ding much to their supplies. wet Fob. 10, 1855, ‘87...
