Review of the Portland HRarhets

Review of the Portland Markets,
FOR THE WEEK ENDING MARCH 14TH.
The markets generally speaking are steady and I'M
changed this week. The demand for goods the pres
ent month is rather smaller than for corresponding
length of time in former years. The demand NAV
improve however the latter part of the month. The
peaceful settlement of political questions promises to
give an early revival of business of all kinds. The
money market shows little or no change and gold
closed Wednesday, March l4th, at $1O4s.
There is still good demand for apples and prices
show no change Beans show slight reduction in
prices, as will be seen elsewhere. The cheese mar
ket is very firm and the demand is excellent at un
changed prices. Coffee is dull and low grades NAV
be quoted rather easier Copper and cordage show
no change. few unimportant changes are noted
in drugs and dyes this week. Fish show 10 change
Flour is firm and better feeling prevails. The de-
mand is rather more active. The advance on wheat
together with the short supply, it is thought will
make prices very much higher. There is no quotable
change to note in fruit this week. Corn is un-
changed, but as there is soon to be an advance in
freights rise may be expected. Norway iron is
rather lower this week. Lard is decidedly lower and
all grades are very dull Leather is quite active and
without change. Lumber is unchanged. Moassess
is firm and in tair demand. The arrival is very light
for this season OF the year. Oils are firm and IN
changed. Beef is dull and unchanged. Pork is dull
and is quoted about so cts per barrel lower Seeds
are unchanged Spices are unchanged. Sugars are
rather lower this week. Teas are unchanged and
sales are quite goodat the quoted prices Tobacco is
quiet aud at the quotations of last week.

son DAVIS and his cabinet, while retreating
from Richmond, held their last meeting and
voted to disband. Mr.. Benjamin, secretary of

mode of dsposing of the great seal, and pro-
posed to burn it, Col Perrin suggested that a
better mode would be to commit it to the Sa-

Annual Meeting of the KNOX and

Board Of Directors and Abstract
Of Annual Reports.
Especial to the Press.l

ROCKLAND, Mar 14.-The stockholders of the
Knox and Lincoln Railroad held their annual
meeting here today and chose as a Board of
Directors f. Cobb and John 7. Berry of Rock
land, Edward Wilson of Thomaston, Augustus
Welt of Wa'doboro, D. w. Chapman of Dam
ariscotta, E Flye of Newcastle, Henry Ingalls,
of Wiscasset, Edward Sewall and G. NJ Patten
of Bath.
The Directors report shows that the city and
town bonds have been issued in aid of the con-
structon and equipment of the road as follows:
Bath $780,, 5000, Wiscasset S16O 300, Newcas-
tie $4,000. Damanscotta $4,000, Nobleboro
$37, 100, Waldoboro' S132, 100, Thomaston $1SS,
6OO Rock land 1856, 800. Total amount of bouds
issued s., $4,000
Payment of interest has been made by the
several cities and towns as follows: Bath $780,,
1876, Wiscasset $16063 Al, Newcastle SILL
1923 81, Damariscotta 1l,323.57, Nobeboro'

10000.
ALI these sums were paid by the cities and
towns to the First National Bank of Bath, and
form no parts of the acco UNITS of the Treasurer.
The net earnings of the road DUNG the last
year have u66u pr CcLt VI VIC iutcItSb.
The reasons for the decrease in the earnings of
the road may be found in the general depres.
sion of business. 1t is believed that the lowest
point has been reached and that an increase of
earnings to moderate amount may be antic-
pated during the ensuing year.
The cities and towns have paid on previous
calls $50 900 on account of interest for the en-
suing year, and the Directors are of the opinion
that the further sum of $50, 600 will be required
for the payment of interest for the year 1877,
and that for tine payment of interest which will
become due January 1, February L. and March
l, 1873, the additional sum of $4,000 will be
required.
The following is a comparison of the earnings
Of the road for 1867 with 1876:

Included in the operating expenses are $4,000

the ferry boat. The rolling stock is represent
ed in good condition, and amply sufficient for
the business of the road.
By the report Of the Superintendent it ap-
pears that trains have run during the year
$40 miles. The average cost per mile run
was 6S cents. The earnings per mile of the
road were 1,476.2S. The trains have run with
g-eat regularity and free from accidents.
Fifty tons of new iron and 2, 5l1 sleepers have
been laid, and about 300 rails have been repair
