Tie WDllAmepOrt hDo 1lmla hairoao was s'iu Nv
Philadelphia yeterday, as advertised by the first mort
gage bondkclders. 1t brought the nominal price OF
$780, Geo. the sale beipg merely pro forma in order to
carry out the decree of the Supreme Court the act Of
lie Legislature, and the agreement between the var-
our interests Of the Company.
We learn from Philadelphia that the prospects ars
that the tunnage of the Reading Railroad for the pre-
sent week will reach 10000 tuns, against q OCO tuns
for the corresponding week of 1859. Philadelphia
paper says;
1.-THE business of the road looks fattering in the
extreme. The coal tunnsge for the last hive weeks
hes ncreased TO the enormous item Of 900 tuns and
is s confidently expected that the average increase per
week will DOT be less than TO- 600 tuns from this time
forward to the end of the year, making over two
millions of tuna Of coal for the year 1861 This extra
Ordinary increase will be equal to 1896, when the
stock was selling at SAC per share. We anticipate
soon that it will require bung to put this stock to
much higher figures We have seen the circulars from
The New. York coal companies. They have opened
their Srpg busDess 80 cents per tun higher than
last ear ar raised their price 10 cents the let OF
June and 10 cents the LIST Of July, and the Aeadlns
Railroad TO correspond with these prices have agreed
70 put up their tolls Is cents in Jolly aud 10 cents IN
September, which will be Published, we learn in the
papers next week. This we think, will make large
demand for anthracite &C al Immediately and we would
not be surprised to zee the tunnage OF the keaong
Railroad Company reach $4,000 tuns per week 30 m"

in time.
We notice some Improvement in the Dry Goods mar
ket since our ls,t review. Ohio Michigan, and some
Of the far Western buyers are represented, and many
Of the obbers are doing more business than a; any
time during the season; but the extraordinary activity
in the Domestic Goods market which has prevailed
durir the pact few months has been succeeded by
corresponding dullpess. The market, however, Is
characterized by great degree Of frmness for m'st
sty of cotton goods and full prices are maintained
view of the small ,tock on hand, and the engage
ment of rpinners which we have hitherto rePoHea'
and the probable demand for consumption wnicn mV
exist during the year, see no reason ~ WY

w. have heretofore shown that the increase OF spin

Of American industry and equal TO the natural in
creased consumption Of the country aud IT, AT certain
n,,ods we notice surplus stock on hand Is has been
owing 70 the want Of liberalization Of fabric. But
that state Of facts viii no longer exist II all the pro-
