HOstOn Dry Goods Market.
FRIDAY, March IL.

FRIDAY, March Ii.
There has been a steady but gradual increase in
trade tle past week, and for some descriptions Of
domestic fabrics there has been something like &C
'lyity. The difficulty of e1ecting speedy transpor
tation to Western sections has had depres sin
effect upon trade and the heavy body in he interior
mand from that quarter The city retail trade has
vastly improved the past week, and there has been
good call for goods to keep up assortments
There is cheerful feeling among obbers, and
first hands. Prices all descriptions of cottons
are firm, and there is an upward tendency on
bleached and brown goods.
The sales OF Brown Cotons have been quite
large, and jobDers have been buying in fair stock
OF these goods. Bleached Coitons remain firm and
With limited supply all grades are strongly held.
There is no falling of in the demand for DENNIS,
alu the production is aiken as fast as received
and the stock of goods in first hands Is small.
Fancy Shir ing otripe5 continue to be taken in
moderate quantities, and recent quotations are full
ly sustained.
Corset Jeans are in good supply, and with but a
moderate demand there is some accumulation of
stocks. Cambrics are firm and in steady request at
recent quotations.
In Prints the market is less active than agents
desire, and with the exception of one two makes,
where reduction in prices has led 10 larger sales,
the market is quiet and the transactions of slight
importance.
Ginghams firm, but the market is inactive
and the sales are mostly n small quantities The
sales of Dress Goods exhibit Improvement in the
demand, althot Oh there Is not so much activity as
would exist with better facilities for reaching the
interior.
The demand for Woolens is mostly to niece up
broken stocks, and is confined largely to the cloth.
iers, as iobbers are purchasing but few goods.
the production has fallen OF largely and this i'm
parts better fe"ling to the "ade.
Carpets are selling to a limited extent, but Inc
market Is not brisk nor is the aggregate OF sales

Statement carrying its own Comment.

The business report for 1872 Of the Eauit-
able Life Assurance Society, furnishes abun.
dant materials for the public interest. New
business during l872-l2, 49l policies issued,
insuring 5l,9ll ,079; or, a daily average of
40 policies and Sl61 900 of insurance! This,
of course, in addition to the renewals of poll
cies already on its registers.
| We have been accustomed to see this par
tcular company report progress at remark
able rate, year by year, from the date of its
organization in 1859; and, at times, during
these past thirteen years there have been
many surprises of this sort, until the name
| of the Equitable has come to pass current as
the synonym of everything progressive and
successful in life insurance administration.
But this last business statement surpasscs all
preceding statements. And this is all the
more remarkable when it is remembered that,
for at least three years, the business world
has not been generally prosperous.
The growth of the Equitable in financial
strength is worthy of special remsSk. Last
year its assets were increased by some So
100000 The Equitable's accumulatons have
now grown to nearly $40 900, 600, after only
thirteen years of active effort on the part OF
its managers. And, at the present rate Of in
crease, we may soon expect to see them
reach $50, 900, 600. Nor has this wonderful
piOBiSso Dceli iIlduc dl t!c tApGHse Oh any
correct principle. The managers of the So
ciety, whether an officer or director, are men
who understand their special duties. The in
surance record of the Society attests the
industry and ability of those who exercise the
executive control in that department. But
as the business of life insurance is one that
deals as directly with money as with lives, it
is necessary that the financial administration
of a life company should be in experienced
hands. The Equitable is fortunate in having
a Board of Directors, comprising merchants,
bankers, and capitalists, who are second to
none in sagacity, prudence and ability. TAX
ing, as these gentlemen d. personal pride
in the upbuilding of their institution, it is af-
ter all no wonder that the Society has accom-
plished such results.
Last year the Equitable's income was S.
420,045. For interest and rents alone, the
company received almost Sl,000,000. To
the families of deceased policy holders there
was paid in 1872 the sum of s. ,Gj3, 9SS, and
cash dividends and surrender values were
paid to the living members, amounting to
Sl,9G3, COS. And better than all, as some will
think, the desirable surplus now on hand is
50, 900, after full provision for the secur-
ity of every policy. Such statement is its
own best commentary.

4 Good Rule well carried out.

All the newspaper offices in this city, with
the exception of one, recently established,
| pay off their hands regularly every fortnight,
although we apprehend that no one engaged
in the offices and receiving the benefits of the
| system, is aware of its origin. More than
twenty five years ago, Hon. w. T. johnson,
| then publisher OF the Age, had an interview
with the editor of the Philadelphia North
American, and TIE conversation naturally
turning on matters pertaining to running a
printing office, the editor of the North Amer
lean remarked that no bill was good against
that office after it was fourteen days old
Every employee Of the establishment was paid
regularly once a fortnight. 1t occurred to
Mr.. johnson that it would be well to try the
system here, and so he introduced it into
his efiice, and from thence it spread, and
was adopted by all the other offices in
town, and for the last twenty-f years the
custom has been kept up, to the mutual ad-
vantage Of publishers and employees. Be-
fore the introduction Of the system, hands
were paid in driblets, without any regular
pay day. printer would then be likely to
'spend as he went, and not lay aside "nest
egg for rainy day" Now printers save con-
siderable oftheir earnings, or ought to- Girls
working in printing Offices lay up money
enough to get a good start in housekeeping
against the time of getting married. We
mention this to show that good customs are
sometimes perpetuated.

Nallomrll loral Nems.

The subject Of an iron fence in front of the
north section of our cemetery, to correspond
with the southern part, is now agitated by
some Of our enterprsing ladies and gentle
men; and we trust some plan and means may
be inaugurated to secure the greatly desired
and much needed Improvement. We have
now one of the most beautiful cemeteries in
the state, and with fence such as suggested,
two gateways on the street side, and drive
way for carriages to correspond, the arrange
ment would seem to be as perfect as it can be
made for the present, and until the SNAIL lot
in the centre, so unfortunately disposed of
several years ago, can again come into posses
sion OF the city; when a straight or curved
iron fence can be erected to join the two wing
sections, thus enclosing the entire front with
a permanent and elegant structure that will
challenge the admiration of every citizen and
passer-by. The city would undoubtedly
make a liberal appropriation for the object,
and the balance OF funds might be raised by
private contributions fairs, concerts, or some
other way that would meet the views of those
|
front fence on the southern section of the
grounds was erected by funds largely contrib
uted by our citizens in patronizing fairs and
concerts; and We see no good reason why the
same result may not be anticipated in the
present case. All that is needed to ensure
success is the cordial cooperation of all our
citizens in pushing some well digested plan
to a final issue.
About the only exciting local on Saturday
was the runaway freak of a very slow team
down Winthrop street. Nobody hurt
| Our new city council will meet this Monday
evening, when it is expected the various sub
ordinate city officers will be chosen. Tn
doubtedly the selection will be such as the best
interests of the city demand. There is moth
ing more important to insure business pros
perity and high moral standing than to have
for officers the right men in the right places
Our citizens confidently expect such result.
