The stooks of raw sugar in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore were as follows, at
onmparative dates: November 18, 1877, 76.451
tons. November 16. 1870, 22,s95 tons; November
28, 1875, 65,5(0K tons.
The orange crop of Florida for the year 1877
Ss estima'ed at 17.0'(0,00) oranges, of which In
sean river produced 1,536,n0), Humpter county
1,000,000o, Orange 1,000,0), Liberty 20oo,00. Frank
lin 200,000, and Calhoun and Jackson 400,000o.
We are glad to learn that the negro hands on
the sugar, ric and cotton plantations through
out the State are working remarkably well. The
eente~l cordials between them has been perfectly
restored, and the agricultural machinery runs
along smoothly and without ajar.
The protection organs are proclaiming that
the finanoial depression in Germany is due en
tirely to the absence of a protective tariff. This
is not true. It is due, as the Louisville o,,'irier
Journal correctly asserts, to the failure of hun
dreds of irresponsible co-operative companies.
and to the indiscriminate speculation in which
the Germans indulged after the French war and
the payment of the $1,09,000,000n Indemnity. Im
nse sums of money were deposited and all
kinds of wild-cat speculations were the rage.
Many banks have failed, notably that of Stfetin.
whose failure involved the royal family in large
Secuniary losses.
In France in which tempoernce, or.. at any
rate. freedom from Intoxication, was once so
noteworthy, there Is a most lamentable Increase
in the Consumption of aleoholi beIverages. In
late about as,ooo eases of drunkenness were tried
in the courts, but In 1576; there were no less than
,000. The greatest number of the trials are in g
rttany Normand(ly and around Paris; the i
t n the outh. in seventy-two depart- '
meats wine ls the general drink, In seven clder, d
and In four booer. There are many Instances o0
eath from the Intemperate use of spirits dis
tilled from corn, potatoes and beet-root, and
the white wine of La Vendee and the ChareLte
Inferleure seem almost equally Pernilious.
Our Banking Capital. fs
Yedterday, in another department of this pa- t
per,'there was presented the particulars of an s
Interview held by a reporter with the president t
of one of the best known and staunchest of our b
banks. In this report this oIlieer is represented I
as saying that the capital now employed in the n
banks is amply sufficient to mist all the re
quirementsof trade. This assertion, we must ,
confess, strikes us with amazement. According ti
to the Clearing-House statements, the hundreds a
of millions of dollars' worth of business which r
this eityoommands is being carried on upon a
basis of less than 3,0.e,oo0ol In stating y
this startling fact our correspondent,
"The Reason Why." as we understood b
him, did not intend to reflect upon the s
ability of our bank financinrs; bt., on the
contrary, to show how much their talents and ti
tact have enabled them to accomplish upon a t'
small and comparat vely insignificant basis. But u
suppose the publication of this fact should in
duce capitalists of the great cities of the East
or West, or, mayhap, of Europe, to come down d
here and invest several millions of dollars, at
good paying rates, in the banking business, we I
opine there would be none of our business men
who would object to this sort of competition. It
is true that such a contingency might result in
a reduction in the rate of interest on money.
curtail the dividends of some of our bunking I
institutions, but it would inevitably inure to the t
general good.
Now, if our banks have a sufflciency of
money wherewith to do the business that is of
fered, let us know why there was such a keenly
felt and really oppressive stringency in the
money market some weeks ago. and why the
rate of interest ran between to and 15 per cent
per annum, on the street, for mortgage paper.
paper fortified with stocks and bonds as col- 1
laterals, exceptional and other commercial pa
per? If the banks of New Orleans have money
enough wherewith to meet the requirements of
the trade, why is it that our people have to suf
for from periodical attacks of stringency ?
The Clearing-House is responsible (not our
correspondent) for the publication of the fact
that the banks of our city are carrying less than
$3,000,000 in their vaults; and also responsible
for the publication of our nominal banking cap
ital, ($7,700,000). Every tyro in flinance knows
that the capital of a bank is the excess of its
real assests over and ab ,va its liabilities. andt
that the capital stock of a bank is not its capital,
though in some instances a stockholder may be
held liable.
We would not, for the world, write or utter a
word to impair the prestige or weaken the in
fluence of our local banking institutions; but
we cannot conscientiously let the assertion pass
uneontradicted that we have ample banking
capital to meet the requiremqnts of trade.
The Coffee War.
The war between tile coffee jobbers of New
York and the Western buyers is still going on,
with no apparent signs of an early abatement.
The following ext ract from the New York (Com
mercial Advertiser gives very succinctly the
latest relative positions of the belligerents:
The trouble's in the coeffee businless have as
sumned a phase that is very likely to be of se
rious injury to the New York trade. The strong
determinattion of the Western bIuyers. espeewia.l
ly those of Cincinnati. Louisville, St. Louis
and Pittsluerg, not to deal with t lhe associated
New York jobbers while their circular regard
ing the hlgging andishipping remains in force,
lias to som1e 'extent c;lause(l a large, deerealsl. in
the usual orders sent to New York. A number
of the Baitimore houses hai\ve already
withdrawn from the complact, and ares
shipping the coffee according to the wishles
of dealers, and some of the Western houses
have transferred their orders to that city, espe
cially those of Chicago. The grocers of Cincin
nati, Louisville and St. Louis will soon visit
New Orleans for the purchase of sugars, and as
there is at present stored in that city a large
quantity of coffee, it is more than likely that if
the trouble is not soon settled the coffee trade of
the West will be transferred to that city-the
cost of freight being about the same from New
Orleans to Cincinnati as from New York to that
city while it is cheaper to St. Louis. Many of
the jobbers who had joined in the signing of the
circular appear to-day to be somewhat inclined
to withdraw from it. though no one wishes to be
first to break the compa, t.
A representative of the Comunercial conversed
with one of the signers to-day. and he admitted
it to have been unforturnate that the circular
was ever issued: but having been sent abroad
it was not, in his opinion, wise to withdraw
from the position taken. He admlitted that
there was a large decrease in the orders, but
ascribed this to the shrinkage in trade. The
withdrawal of the Baltimore houses from the
compact he thought might cause the N w York
jobbers to take an earlier action th would
otherwise have been the caase; especially as ftli
importers here had expressed themselves
somewhat in opposition to the course taken by
the jobbers. He s'nuld nst tell when the next
meetings o jobblers would be held to consider
this subject.
New Orleans and the Grain Trade.
In an article. published in yesterday's DEMO
CRAT, we gave fa'ts and flgulr-s to show that the
ocean tonnage at this ,ort is more than ade
quate for the shipment to IDErope of all grain
that can be sent here from the West. In cor
roboration of this statmlelnt, and to show the
life and activity which have teen rec ntly given
to this trade, we will mention the additional
fact that on Monday last one dealer in this city
had flifteen sea-going vessels under charter to
carry grain to Europe. One of these ships has
since cleared. Here in Netw Orleans. as we have
said before, there is an abundant supply of
ocean tonnage; all that is wanted at the present
time is more barge room on the river for this
class of freight. The impossibility of one com
pany supplying this demand is patent to every
one engaged in the trade, though ifforts are,
seemingly, being made in some quarters to
convey a different impression. We know ,f one
ease where no transportation by the regular
barge line could be obtained for 40.000 bushels
of grain from Cairo to this port, and a steam
boat and barges, which had been laid up
at Paducah, were chartered for the purpose.
In this connection we take the following
ex'ract from p 19a adtdle in the St. L:uis
Imnes, some of the Statements of which will
strike our readers with surprise. tspeeially
do we refer to the declaration that a St. Louis
firm "applied to the barge company for tonnage
and were informed that they could get all they
wanted to New Orleans, but from there out ton
nagecannot be had any price; that it is all en
gaged three months ahead." Now, was there
ever a more absurd Idea or statement ? It is so
ridiculous that we will not expend time or use
space in controvertitk it. But here is the article
teferred to:
Larger quantities of corn are now being
shipped to Now Orleans than usual, even at this
season of the year. This is undoubtedly attrib
utable, to some oxtant, to the fact that the
northern water routes eastwardly are closed,
but as that naturally occurs every winter it
does not account for the unusual movement of
grain to the South.
Immediately upon the close of the lakes and
canals the railroads leading east Increased their
freight tariff on corn and other produce to such
figures as amount practically to prohibition.
Minee these increased freight tariffs went into
effect all movement of corn eastwardly has
ceased, because the freight from any Western
point to New York eats up all the margin bo
tween Western and Eastern prices. With theli
suns ension of the movement, eastwardly comes
aI increased demand for corn from England.
Commission merchants in St. Louis are daily
in receipt of orders from London, Liverpool,
Bristol and other English markets for large
quanititles of corn, and with the embargo
laid on shipments to New York there
is no possioility of shipping the corn
except by the way of New Orleans
But upon inquiry the merchants have learned
that even this route is closed to them. Rowland
& Co. received an order from London recently
for 4o.o0o bushels of corn. They applied to the
barge company for tonnage, and wero In
formed they could get all they wanted to New
Orleans, but from there out tonnage cannot be
had at any price; that it is all engaged three
months ahead. While the commission and
grain merchants are in this dilemma and can
not get the.ir grain across t.ho ocean, somtbotly
is loatding vessels at New Orleans with tornr and
dis patching them to Europe on ait very extensive
scale.
Inquiri.s among the commission merc'hants
showed that they are not informed as to who
those parties arel. hut it is believed that
a strong combination haeu been formed
for the purpose of gettinz large quan
tities of corn to Europe. in anticipation
of an increased de mand for the grain. nind con
sequently an increased price. All te fracts go
to prove the existence of such a c(ombination.
but if anybody in St. Louis knows who cotn
pose it, they keep very silent on the subject.
I'he barge comupany is loading corn day and
night and transporting it to N~w Orleans as
fast as it can be loaded. Yesterday a merchant
applied to the barge company for tonnage for
corn and was told he t'could e accommodln atedl
to New Orleans. lint could not get his grain
away from there. lie inquired who had engaged
all the tonnage out. The barge company's
representative replied that he didn't know.
'But you know who is shipping so mtuch by
your line to New Orleans." remarked thel mer
chant." and perhaps they are interested in this
movement." This indire('t question got noth
Ing but an indirect answer the barge repro
sentative replying that the shippers comprised
many different men. The merchants are of the
opinion that the barge company is interested in
I the combination engaged in forwarding grain
to Europe, and, in turthiraneo of that interest,
use their influence to engage tonnage ahead
from New Orleans.
In conversation with D. P. Rowland. a Thine::
reporter asked if any steps had been taken
t 'wards providing ships enough to supply the
demand at New Orleans. Mr. tlowland replied
t that he was not aware of any such movemetnnt at
present, but offered the prediction tlat plenty
of ships will be on hand within a short time'.
The channel through the jtettles, he says. hat
plenty of water for all practical opurposes, and
as soon as it becomes generally known that
there is a large demand for tonnage out which
cannot be supplied. owners of vessels now lying
idle will take them to Now Orleans and put
them in the trade.
Mr. Rowland of London. agent of the Na
tional Steamship Line from New York to Lon
tdon, who was in ~t. Louis recently, came to
America to examine tlhwettles and inform him
self in regard to the products and tratie of the
Mississippi valley with the view of putting in a
0 line of vessels direct from New Orlians to Lon
a don. He spent several weeks In an examina
t tion of the jetties and then calme up the river to
collect trade statistics. Hie returned to London
several weeks ago thoroughly convinced that a
line of vessels plying between New Orleans and
London would yield a good profit anrd has so
reported to his company. D.P. Rowland thinks
y there is no doubt but that this line of ves, ols
will be established as soon as the depth of water
now in the jetties is officially proclaimed. All
that is necessary, he says, to give commerce all
the tonnage it wants from New Orleans out. i
r for the government engineers to omffially re
t port the depth of water in the jetties, and foi
the government to recognize that report anc
a the existence of the channel by paying Capt
SEaids the installment he is now entitled to.
From the interior of the 8tate c'omes informa
tlion that men aretravelingthrough the countri
buying corn, and that they are keeping thiel
s transactions as secret as possible. In connel
I tion with this is the fact that the railroads ar
now bringing more corn to St. Louis than eve
. before. This is true of the Missouri. Kansa
e and Texas. notwithstanding the complaint the
their tariff is too high.
All these facts go to prove the existence of
a well organized movement to forward corn to Eu
t- rope, and the grain is being moved rapidly.

Wednesday Evening. Nov. 21, 1877. I
GENERA L REMARKH.-There was somewhat
of an indication of a "fitel da y" yiesterday at
the Cotton Exchange. and the cotton market
was strongy. with an active demand from the
opening. The news fronl Liverpool and New
York was enci iraging. The demand was
prin.ipally ror good I',tton. , and they. rela
tively, comianm leid higher prices than other
grades.
In flour ithe' market was dull, unchanged in
prices, and sales limited. Home holders, being
under limits. are kept from selling.
In the product of the hog, the great porcine
geod of Western idolatry, there was but little I
activity, except. in dry salt meats, which were in
great demand, and met with ready and larmge
sal's.
At the sugar sheds there was quite a falrbusl
ness, though the price of sugar was a shadeUl
easier, and molasses suffered a slight decline.
If there was freight room to NowYork, molasses
would undoubtedly sell 3 to 5 cents higher.
The weather yesterday was clear and cool.
Should it continue so for a week or ten days'
our sugar planters would laugh and sing for
joy.
COTTON-The day was lively o04 the cotton
sile of town. Tmue strong and upward tendency
of the market 'alled out both buyers and sell
ors, causing an unusually large attendance at
the Exchange,. Thl demand run on good cot.
tons chiefly, and they commanded relatively
higher prices than other grades. Liverpool
was reported advancing on spots, but at the
'lose arrivals showed wenkness. At New York
futures advanced 1 to 5 points.
