NEIV YORK MARKETS.

(Front the Correspondent of the Anglo- American Times.)
NEW YoRK, Feb. 1, 1868.

The reflux of money from the West to the East lias set
strongly in, and added to the glut caused by the dulness
of trade. The supply is, therefore, very large at 4to
5 per cent., and discounts are easy at 6 to 7 per cent. for
first class names, and 8 to 9 per cent for others. The
Banks have groat difficulty in employing profitably and
securely their heavy balances, and the large remittances
daily received from the country adds to the plethora. At
Boston 5 per cont. is the rate on call, and even in the West
the rates aro working easier, in spite of the drain to the
East. Gold has not much varied, and closed yesterday at
140.1. Early in the week it touched 1414, but the gold
room not being agitated by any exciting rumours, there
were nore of those violent fluctuations lately witnessed.
The exports of gold from New York for the week and year
were $1,069,300 and $6,979,831, and this week $157,000
have gone out. The total receipts, this year, from
California and Aspinwall are $978,615. Since July
1, 1867, the exports have been $34,367,517 against
$19,313,481, and the deliveries from California $17,413,017
against $26,559,318. The gold received at New York for
customs in the same time was $62,042,133 against
$70,421,505, and the gold interest paid in the same city
was $46,433,019 against $32,854,463. The exports (ex-
clusive of specie) from New York for the week and year
were $3,260,323 and $13,360,701 against $3,210,976 and
$13,908,549. Silver is 6 to 7 cents below gold, and
Mexican dollars are 1021 to 1034 in gold. Exchange is
firm, with more business doing, and a better demand for
bills, of which there is but a limited supply. I enclose
the report of Mr. Delmer, of the Bureau of Statistics,*
who gives a valuable table of the number of miles of rail-
road completed in the several States at the close of 1867,
and the cost of construction and equipment. Also a tablet of
the earnings of the principal railroads for 1867 as compared
with 1866. The earnings of the Central Pacific, of which
91 miles from the wharves of Sacramento to the top of
the Sierra Nevada have been opened for business during
1867 have amounted to $1,200,000 in gold. It is estimated
that the road will work this year an average of 200 miles,
and net $3,000,000. The inflation policy of Congress has
given a spur to speculation in stocks and shares. It is
expected that the President will veto the Anti-Contrac-
tion Bill, and that Congress will pass it over the veto. The
abundance of money, and the hope of more when the in-
flationists begin to work their will, has sent New York
Central, Erie, and Hudson River—the lines which are to
benefit by the consolidation—up to the highest point they
have touc' ed for a year. The movement upwards is some-
what checked, and a slight decline followed. But the New
York Central sold on Monday at 1321., Erie at 781, and
Hudson River at 147. They closed yesterday respectively
at 1311, 74, and 145 i, which represents a considerable fall
from the best point. The quarterly repoit of the New
York National Banks gives their condition on the first
Monday in January, and the following are the aggregates

coffee trade of the United States shows the largest im-
portation since duty was levied in 1859 ; 226,322,8111 b.
were imported during 1867, as compared with 165,392,983
lb in 1866. The figures of the statistical bureau prove
immense coal trade. The ant hracite coal of the United State s
during 1867 was 12,650,571 tons, which compared with
last year is an increase of 271,081 tons. The total pro-
duction during the year amounted to 25,800,000 tons. Of
this 5,000,000 tons were consumed in the interior. Of the
remainder, the Central Railroad of New Jersey alone car-
ried to tide-water in the vicinity of New York 1,367,903
tons of anthracite, or 27,654 tons more than in 1866. Of
this amount 206,391 tons of Lehigh and 843,667 of Lacka-
wanna were delivered at Elizabeth, New Jersey. For Thiston
and vicinity the larger portion of the supply of anthracite
coals comes by boat from Philadelphia. The arrivals from
that port last year were 435,061 tons, while Boston's total
consumption was 797,661 tons, including 13,991 from Great
Britain and 103,419 from the British provinces. At Pittston
in the Pennsylvania coal region coal for domestic con-
sumption costs only $2.75, or, including cartage,
$3.75. In New York it costs from $l7 to $l9, and the
difference is the allowance made for profits and freights.
On the whole, the trade has not been profitable, and
though better now than a year ago, prices are not good.
The dry goods market is in a better conditiop, and prices
have slightly advanced. Although the improvement is
not general the tone is firm, and as spring advances more
activity is. expected. Cotto❑ has improved 2 cents within
the fortnight ; the impression being that the crop in this
country will next season be very short. The estimate at
New York is 52,500 bales, and at all the ports of the
country 315,000, against 560,000 at this time last year;
618,000 bales have been exported since Sept. 1, and from.
Now York 173,800. New York has received during this
period 293,646 bales, and all ports 1,008,000.
