Speculators in fancy stocks have no 3 suse to find feult with the money market, There is an sban- Gence of capital seeking employment, bu in su'h a shape thet no one will touch it but the brokers, and they caunct find use for all that offers. The bonks find it difficult to make all the loans they desire up- en their own terms. They do not ask anything sbove the ordinary rate of interest, but they do not wish to lock up their fads by discounting long bu- siness paper, and that of short date of the right quality is scarce, The discount line, by this week’s returne, wil] show s moderate increase. Notwith- standing this plethora in the money market, fancy stocks hang at about the old points. There are no ‘buyers in the street and the msrket is exbausted The brokers have now @ great many more fancies than they want, and it is hard work for them to in. crease their line. They can get money enough of the banke to carry any quantity of the trash, but they want sith, without which it will not do to touch railroad stocks. Their position is already precarious enough, without endangering it stilimore. If they let up the demand, down goes prices, and if they continue to buy, outsiders will realize on all in their bande, instead of coming forward as pur chasers. Our foreign import trade continues light. The total value of importations into this port last week ‘was under two million of dollars. Tae trade unforturately is equally limited. This for the season is extreordinary, Last week the sbipments of specie from Boston were large, and they are likely to be large from this port this week. Sterling ex- change rules at 93 a 9} per cent premium. This is sbove a shipp! it, and bars can be remitted at Sprefit, Two leave this port this week for EBurope—one on Wednesday for Liverpool, and one @p Saturday for Southampton and Bremen. Both ‘will take out a large amount of gold. We may have @ Canfornia steamer in this week, but hardly in time to make up for the drain for export. Mr. Albert H. Nicolay’s regular semi-weekly suction sale of stocks and bonds will take place on Monday, the 18th inst., at 124 o’clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange.

The gross income of the company this year, Compared with last, has been much jerger than ap- pears by the above transportation of coal. The Reading Railroad Company have now other impor- tamt rourcen of revenue besides ite coal: business. After long years of delay, the great line of road to the North and West, via the Little Schuylkill, Catewissa, Willismsport and Erie, Sunbury and Erie, and Wilismsport and Elmira roads, was pened on the 18th of December last. These works, costing at least $8,000,000, are immediate feeders to tke Reading road, from which a very Jarge increase iu ite passenger and merchandise traffic may with ee, i tence be looked for. The business from thi sou.ce cannot be computed at less than from taree ‘to five hundred thousand dollars per annum. Thi fa considered a reasonable estimate. The distance from Eimira to Philadelphia, by way of New York is 363 miles, passing over several grades from 40 to €0 feet to the mile; while the distance by the Cata ‘wissa route is but 262 miles—making 2 difference in favor of the latter of 101 miles over a road having but one grade of 35 feet to the mile. Besides the into the Mahanoy region, and thence through the ultimate connection with the Sunbary and Erie to the great trade of the West, the Dauphin and Susquehanna Railroad forms a direct communi- cation between the valleys of the Schuylkill and the Susquehanna, and connects the works of the Reading Company with the Pennsy!vania Central Railroad ex- tending to Pitteburg. The trade by the Dauphin and Susquehanna will bea valuable one. A portion of the coal which will thus reach the market is peculiar, being semi-bitumixous, and sdapted as a substi‘ute for the bituminous coal, rather than competing with the anthracite. From these various sources—the chanzels designed by nature for reaching the trade of these regions—the Reading Railroad Company have ultimate prospects beyond any estimate which has hitherto been made. The travel and traf; from these sources account for the great increase im re- ceipts, in the face of @ moderate increase in the coal business of the road, which is of a local character entirely. The ecal business must continue to be the great source of revenue. During the year 1853, 1,582,244 tons of coal pass- ed over the road. During the year 1854, notwith. @tanding extraordinary drawbacks, 1,987,854 tons were transported; which, at an average of $1 634 per ton, gives an aggregate sum of $3,253,822 78. From passengers, merchandiee, mails, &c., the far- ther sum of $527,453 13 was received—making to- getber a gross income of $3,871,639, equal to $40,- 666 per mile. From this sum deduct the expenses, extraordipary charges, interest on loans, renewal fund, &c., amounting to $2,346,428 70, and the net income amounts to $1,435,210 30--which, on the capital stock of 1853 ($,656,332), is equal to a divi- dend of upwards of twenty-one and a half per cent, If,the coa! transportation this year (1855) shall bs Bo greater than that of 1664, the amount of business derived from new scurces, by the extensive conne>tion made with other railroads, will swell the gross income to sbout four and s half millions of dollars, without much sdditional expense in operating the line. This immensee revenue from ninety-three miles of road is unprecedented in the history of railroads in this country, and we do not believe it is equalled in any part of the world. It averages & gross receipt of upwards of $48,000 per mile. The average receipt per mile on all the railroads of the State of New York, for the year 1854, according to the report of the State Engineer, were but $8,278. It therefore ap- pears that the average receipts of the Reading Rail road per mile are about $40,000 more than the average in this State. We annex a comparative table showing the cost, gross receipts, length, and gross increase in cost of the three great railroads in this country.

Holders and operators in the stocks of these companies know actually very little about them, what their value is based on, or any- thing else. We Lave added to the cost of the Erie the cost of the roads it bases, es the income from all is reported in a lump. To carry out this compa. rison, we anrex a statement showing the real pro- éuctivenese of each of these roads:— Rasinoad eine tals Nar’ axp Nev Ixcome, 42s sotioe Seamer ikn's. ees NY& Tris * 40,000,000 5, erie eee Resding 18,506,000 8,800,000 211 ‘We row come to the division of this net per centon “the cont between capital and debt, This is a wetter acre, (aboot one-quarter ~ 16 Bk Commerce... 105 AMUSEMENTS. value of each stock in the market :— part of the estimated value of the inude, ce security | oto Amir ce ia 25/8 ROADWAY THEATRE —E A MASE ATT, @0Lk Rannoa Fuxancue—Pan Cant Income on CarrraL. for the bonds,) the lands thus sold must eicter have | 200 do ., Bq nday evening, Fevruary 19, wil! be performed 25,600,000. 12,006,000 2 far" too | been taken trom the 345,000 scres remaining with ite HAMLED, : 300/000 2'100,000 | the company, or eles the bondholders have been de- ‘amie, iit yDeyenpert 7,500, 11,000,009 1,618,750 | frgnded of @ portion of their security.

Ponis' In making up these tables we have taken the offi- cial returns of the three companies for the capital, debt and grose ‘income, and there we have dropped them. The results are reached by a process of oar owr. The per cent gross income on c:st can easily be figured up from officia! statements, but in arriving at the net income on cost, we,have allowed sixty per cent for running expenses, believing that such a rate is within, rather than over, the actual current operating expenditures. The net income of the New York Central, on this calculation, is 6} per cert on thecost. The debt of the Central Com- Fapy bears 7 per cent interest, and being about half as much as the stock, leaves for the stock barely 6 percent. The net income of the Evie is 5} per cent on the coat. The debt of the Erie company beara 7 per cent, and being,about three times aslarge as the capital, it absorbs nearly the whole of the net eam. ings, and leaves but one third of one per cent for the stock. The net income of the Reading is 83 per cent on the cost. The debt of the Reading company bears 6 per cent interest, which is 2} per cent below the net income on cost. The debt being $11,000.00, the 23 per cent saved om that amount is so much added to the 8} per cent to go to the stock, which, on $7,500,000, increases the per cent to 12j. It would be well enough for these interested to Icok at at these results which cannot be controverted, and compare the mar- ket value of the stocks representing the different companies. Fer the purpose of enabling the public to do so, and to see the comparative position of each, we annex a table givirg the necessary pointa:— RaiRoaD Revenve—Pxx Cent GRoas anv Ner Lycome, &c.

If New York Central is worth 933 per cent, with a netincome on capital of 6 per cent, it can easily be figured out what Reading is worth with a net income on capital of 123 per cent—more than double that of the Central. The difference does notend here. About one haif of the business of the New York Central road is affected more or less by competition, and the charges for transportation are therefore reduced to the lowest point. It is restristed by legislative acts, on charges for its local business. The Reading Reilroad hasa perfect monopoly of every dollar of its traffic. No other road in the coun try has it to the same extent. It cannot, therefore, be affected by any outside pressure, or by any com. petitor route, These things should be weighed and well considered by capitalists, previous to embark- ing in spy investment, or in relation to any they may now have in railroad stocks, The dates we have given above is the surest and safest guide to go by- The New York State Eagincer, in his railroad re_ port for 1854, anys thas the average curreat operat. ing expenses of all the roads in the State was 57 percent. We have adopted 60 per cenias the stan. dard, and believe thst both the Central and Exie exceed that rate. Thehigh grades and carves of the Erie and Central, with the speed required t> keep up with rival routes, are very expensive. Tae Reading Company psys no regard to high speed, and ite grade being ail in favor of its freighted cars, one engine can do the work of four on the Exie, at lees cost. Our estimate of sixty per cent for current opersting expenses on the Reading, may, therefore, beexceasive. The company reports the cost of ope rating at 474 per cent. At a ca culation of ff:y per ceat, the net income on capita! would be17 per cent, instead of 123 per cent, as shown in the above table The receipts of the Terra Haute and Indianapoli; road for the year ending ‘lat December, 1854 were as follows:— 45,923 45 81.515 06 12,654 65 $239,992 96 80,680 57 trecee ee $159,323 39 67 00 00 823 17-135,645 84 Balance. vee e9$23,077 65 The road is thirty-seven miles in length.

By the report publish- ed last month, 102,577 acres of lands had been dispored of, and the financial statement (C) of the company’s it fund, $242,372 23 were ited for cash received prior to the 1st January. A few days since it was semi-officially stated that the lands sold had been taken from the 2,000,000 acres mortgaged, and therefore the company had still remaining 345,000 acres of free lands. We have now, ins more recent semi-official statement, an admission that the Iands sold were taken from the free lands and credited to the company’s interest fund. We have not got at the point yet. The question is: Has tae [!tinois Central Railroad Com- pany 345,000 acces of unincumbered lands which it is at liberty to mortgage to ec.ure $3,000,0007 It never had but 2,595,859 acres; but we will call the amount 2,595,000 acces. 2,000,000 acres were mort- gaged to secure ths paymont of $17,000,000 of bonds. In that sane mortgago 250,000 acres, fa addition to the 2,000,000 acres, were set aside, and declared to be held by the trustees free from incam- brance, and irrevocably appropriated to secure the payment of the semi-annual inverest on ths $17,000,000 bonds. The 250,000 acres were precisely as much appropriated to necare the $17,000,000 of bonds as the 2,000,000 acres. They were declared to be held free from all other encumbrance. Of course, then, the lands to which pre emption rights attached at $2 50 per acre, were necessarily ex- cluded, as well from the 250,000 acres appropriated to secure the interest, as from the 2,000,000 acres appro- prigted to secure the principal of the $17,000,000 o, bonds; for the right of a preemption claimant to purchace the land at $2 50 per acre is an encum brance upon the land to which it attaches, to th extent of nearly three-quarters of the average esti mated value placed upon the lands by the company. ‘The estimated value of the 250,000 acres appzopri at dto secure the interest on the $17,000,000 o bonds, was at least $2,500,000. If encumbered b preemption rights, their value would be but $625 000. It follows, therefore, most conclusively, tha 2,260,000 acrea of the company’s lands are set apart held and appropriated to secare the payment o principal snd interest of the $17,000,000 constra» tion bonds, and that ‘these lands are in no part, or in apy monrer, affected by any other right, or sub- Ject to avy other lien, claim or encumbrance, This, indeed, is very clearly stated in the last re port of the directors, in the following terms :— “There are three classes of lands: 2,000,000 acres held to secure the $17,000,000 construction bonds; 250,000 acres held to secure the payment of interest on the construction bonds, and 345,000 acres held upincumbered, for the purposes of the company.’ The 345,000 acres, then, properly speaking, are the only free lands which the company ever had ; for every acre excepting these, waa encumbered to so visions of the act of incorporation the company was obliged 10 sell # portion of ite lande to early eyttiers received for these lande. The amount eold at $2 50 per acre, vp to Janusry 1, 1855, was 102,577 scree ‘The sum credited (for “preemption and free lands,”) was $242,372 23, ($13,321 37 lees than was received from preemption purchasers.) The averago esti mated value of these lands, when set apart and ap propristed to se ure the bondholders, was about $1,025,770. We therefore say that the explanation furnished to the Post is altogether unsatisfactory. Either the company has dedacted the land sold ua. der the incumbrance of the rights of the preemp tion claimants, at $250 per acre, from the 345,000 a res which the company was at liberty to dispose of, being unappropriated to secure the creditors of the company, and which was the only honest course to be pursued—and in which case, the company has not remsining the 345,000 acres to mortgage as security for the additional $3,000,000—or else tnese lands thus sold have been deducted from the bond holders’ securities, involving an sbsraction to no Jess an amount than $783,308. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the quantity aud value of certain articles, other than foreign dry goods, imported into this port during the week end- ing and including Friday, Feb. 16, 1855:— COMMERCE OF THE “bg New Aer ae Imports. as Musical inste. 24 Mathemat.do 3 1,165 602 Nautical do 1 — '386 Jewelry,..... 8 6,962 M seve, 300 1,096 Oil paintings. 1 2,420 iquors— Tin,. 3, Anc. & cables },600 41 79 Value of merchandise put on the market dur- ing the week $720,387 Lo, dry goods do. 1,276,776 Total ....csseeeees Pe ecervcsccocsvssssvesee $1,997,163 The principal items of import during the week were as follows:——Segers, $40,168; furs, $45,827; un- dressed sking, $45,670; steel, $30,132; tin, $26,921; tea, $33,061; watches, $49,849; champagne, $28,390. ‘There has been very littie doing in dry goods since cur last, the weather baving been quite unpropi- tious, but there is reason to belicve that we a:e on the eve of something like active movements, as more buyers have made their appearance; aud these are understood to be ready to operate with some de gree of freedom, which cannot bat lead toa little animetion, that will be most serviceable and agree- able to factors, who have experienced nothing very cheering for months peat. There is no considerable accumulation of stock, but the assortment in mar- ket is a good one, and will greatly facilitate the exe cation of orderse—a matter of decided importance ata period when trade is backward. Prices mani- feat no special changes since our last. The inquiry is moderate for brown and bleached abeotings and shirtings of desirable kinds, and tiese are firm. Cotton flannels have attracted s little more attention, at old prices. Duck is generally 1c. per yard lower, but is inactive. Denims and drills are essentially unchanged. Ginghams are in lighter stock, but are not much needed, and are hsavy in price. Lawns and osnaburgs are sa last noticed. Printing clotns are in fair demand, and on the ad- vance. Prints and stripes are saleable and steady. Ticks are, in a measure, neglected. We understand that the shipments of domestic cottons are now very limited, but that they are likely to increase within a few weeks. Woollen goods contiaue as quiet as pemible, not. withstanding the restricted production, and the im- probability of any farther change in prices, exvepting such se would be favorable to seliers. Blankets are scarcely noticed by jobbers. Fancy cassimeres are plenty, and in moderate request at unaltered rates. Cioths, flannels, jeans acd linsey remain generally doll and heavy, with a fsir amount of each article offering. Mouselin de laines are in improving dem ind at full quotations, Nothing new can be notived in eatinets or tweeds. Foreign productiour ere being #0 lightly dealt in that we can get no important material to forma re. port more special than what may be expressed by saying that the trade is dull and heavy, and that in most all the current movements any existing ad vantage is secured by purchasers. This is the cass both in private trade and at public sale; and so far a8 it is #0, it forms no new feature in the busines, The receipts of goods are limited, and there are good reasons to believe that they will continue #9, unless foreign manufacturers should take it into their heads to send os supplies, which we cannot need, on their own account.
