The Commercial List says there has
been fair business in domestic for ac-
count of manufacturers, and the mar
ket show more tone. This is because
of the refusal of some of the Western
holders TO sell at the extreme low figures
that have been ruling for some time
past. coupled with indications of re-
action in the market for desirable styles
of WOODEN goods. Several commission
houses have received instructions to hold
Wool till further orders, many western
consigners being of opinion that, as
soon as the Fall trade fairly sets in,
prices must go higher, which seems plan
ssible enough, since it is impossible
to import foreign descriptions under
present conditions without loss; so that,
in the event of u revival of trade, manu-
facturers will be compelled to rely more
than ever upon the native product.
Late productions of wooden goods, 1t is
understood, are netting fair profit,
and upon this basis manufacturers
would not, probably, be very reluctant
to accede to the enhanced pretenslons
of holders, were il not for the heavy
burden they are carrying in the shape
of old, and in the main, unsaleable
stocks. They are naturally very, anx-
ious to dispose of their undesirable &C,
foundations with as little delay and
loss as possible: but should the West
ern men infexibly adhere to the policy
of withholding their wool, higher prices
would TO DO inevitable.

The amount of border State bonds be-
longing to the Federal Government, ao-
stracted from the Interior Department
before the war, is as follows: Missouri
bonds. $3.50, 900; North Carolina bonds
1857 900; and Tennessee bonds, sl43'ooV'
Present olders of these bonds are re-
auired to show they acquired the oonte
in good faith, or honestly; and on 'hIs
showing. under oath, they VIII pe per

II is stated that the interest due on
bonds of the Chesapeake and ONO
Canal to the 1st of April, 1867, on the
certificates of coupons funded, dated
October |. 1868, will be paid at the of
6ce of the clerk and treasurer, i'll Wash

the bonds of the company issued for the
completion of the canal, commonly
known as preferred bonds" due on the

The largest amount of wheat export
ed from the United States to England
in the last ten years was i'll 1861, when
it amounted to 10, SOC, 59l cwt., and the
smallest was in 1866, when it amounted
to only four and quarter millions cwt'
These figures show that though our
wheat export is matter of great impor,
lance as determining price, it is not OF
so much consequence III paying our
debts. While our cotton export ire
auently exceeds two hundred million OF
dollars in value, our wheat supplies
rarely net more than twenty million
dollars.
The first issue of 30 notes now out
standing, is about Sl0,0OO,OOO; $780,
OgO. 900 have been redeemed. or converted
INTO bonds. We have the authority OF
the New York Tribune for saying, that
in the conversion of the first series OF
go notes, holders will not be allowed
interest after August 10, and will be re-
quired to pay interest 1T the rate OF > OF
six per cent. in currency upon the 5-2U
bonds up to the date of exchange. The
exclusion of thirty days time allowed,
was probably for the convenience OF the
Treasury Department. which Is unable
to furnish small bonds.
