ALEXANDRIA CANAL is the sincere ue-
s;ra Of every friend of our good old town that
measures be at once instituted having tor their
oh;ect fine immediate resumption OF navigation
IN the Alexandria Canal. -Four years ago,
when the government took possession Of o. THIS
arm Of the States internal Improvement sys.
ten # was in excellent condition; fleets OF
boats arriving and departing daily, the canal
uharyes. at The northern end OF the city, were
lined with vessels, and the many coal yards iE
presented a scene of busy animation; but now,
owing to long disuse and exposure TO sunshine
and wind, the banks Of the canal have become
cracked and the aqueduct Delayed; the coal
boats have rotted or been used for other pur-
Noses, the vessels have long since gone from the
wharyes, the coal agents have moved their
depots to other cities, and an occasinal cart,
hauling a load of Philadelphia coal, is the only
evidence of life about the once active coal yards
We learn from gentleman-an agent OF one OF
the coal companies that previous to the
war. he disbursed, daily at bis office, be
tween three and four thousand dollars to
employees about his premises alone. What
a large amount then must have been discussed
by the agents Of. all the companies whose
Office were located in this city; and all this
money too went into active circulation because
it was the price of home labor. We feel con-
fdent that if correct representations are made
to the proper authorities, by suitable persons,
no difficulty will be experienced in inducing
the Government to Immediately commence
repairing this-to our town, important work
The debt Of the Canal is SO large that but little
benefit is expected ever to accrue to the stock
holders, but the city can be Immediately al
fected, by resumption Of trade on this work,

SUNDAY, Feb n, 1885.
Quotations ON the Stock Exchange have experienced
Improvement during the past week, although unsup-
6orted by outside speculation any considerable extent
Tho market Is inherently weak, but the low prices at
which leading railway shares were selling short
time ago afforded opportunity for engineering
q moderate rise Speculative feeling is, how
over, on the whole tame, and there IL pros
pect OF its continuing SO unless public attention
should be directed from government securities and
petroleum TO the railway list, foreign demand
should Spring up; but American railway stocks have
not been regarded with much favor in the money
kes of Europe hitherto the latter cannot be relied upon
however low in price they may be- The efforts Of brokers
and professional spectators manipulate stocks will
nevertheless keep the market from stagnaton and just
the disposition is advance prices This would be
greatly strengthened by steady rise in gold with which
the Stock Exchange would sympathize whereas dull
and dropping gold market would exercise ON opposite
influence.
There has been revival Of activity In national gold
bearing bonds arising from both home and foreign
mand The purchases Of vetwenties and for
shipment TO Europe larger than usual which is
attributable to their improving value there and their low
price here. Attention has been drawn TO the enfores
by their relative cheapness and they have recovered
about two per cent from the point at which they stood
ton days ago Tho effect OF this advance has been to
stimulate subscriptions 10 the thirty loan the
