Important news about
black velvets.--ln,portance
in black vclvets centers
around these two points:
first, the fabric; second, the
black.
There are a great many
makers. Those who make
all.silk arc in Lyons, France;
and those who make cotton
back are in Krefeld and Eber-
field, Germany. All-silk are
therefore commonly spoken
of as Lyons vclvets, and cot
ton.back as German.
We have seen about all,
possibly all the makes of both
in the wholesale market. We
do not buy abroad. Wed
rather let somebody else have
the job of getting them
through the Custom House.
We look them all over, and
buy what we consider the
best of the several grades.
This results in our having
these:

and wen get finer, if anybody
wants it.
Now in these few figures
we state almost the whole OF
what we presume is the most
carefully chosen and compre-
hensive stock in any one store
in the country. $50 broad a
statement as that calls for
your remembering that we
need just that. We have the
largest trade in the country
and til. most varied. What
should we do with a surDas-
sable stock?)
We have no objection to
telling how we choose, what
we look for, what we require.
German velvets from 81 to
the best that is made, and
Lyons from IS to the best
that is wanted. sBut wherein
does quality reside?
Quality Of silk, closeness
of pile, back to hold it, black.
The best of silk is not to
be expected in German vel.
vets. They are made OF
duller silks and worked-over
silk-wastes as many sorts
and mixtures as makers;
more. Lyons is famous for
quality Of silk.
Closeness of pile means
quantity of silk, yielding
solidity, soft resistance to
touch; what you expect of
velvet. The back is too
plain to more than speak of.
Black !, There's where nine
out Of ten are astray.
The black that is wanted
varies "a little around the
happy medium; neither blue
nor jet; between. Not all
alike, but as near as we can.
Mere color is more than
quality, quantity, purity OF
silk, more than all else,
Color first; then quality
then how will it wear? Or,
to put it another way, how
looks it for color? for gener-
Gus fullness? only then how
long will it hang together?
And this leads to a nice
detail Of color. We have
German velvets of a rusty
black to match old stuffs a
little faded. 20 inch; $3.50
to S2.OO. e.
Having guarded all these
points Of color, quality, guam
tity and putting together, we
hawaii the least hesitation in
believing that we have about
as thoroughly mastered the
black velvets that have come
into the country as we hope
to next year; and that is
saying great deal.

The Derby Railroad.

What the Treasurer Says About Its In-
 debtedness to the City. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 An article in your journal of January 1st, headed s'The Derby railroad-Its indebted ness to the city of New Haven-Facts and figures" purporting to be an official state ment from the books of the City Auditor, demands critical notice from the officials of the New Haven and Derby Railroad com pany The article in question is more pro- life in figures than in facts.
 In the first place there is an error of one hundred thousand dollars too much in the footings.
 In the second place the item of two hun dred thousand dollars city bonds is mot an indebtedness due from the railroad con- pany. On July IT, 1867, ct a city meeting called for the purpose, tho freemen of the city voted, by 8, 256 yeas to 473 nays, to suh- scribe for two thousand shares of stock of the railroad company, and in pursuance of that vote the city did subscribe for two thousand shares and issued the bonds to the amount of two hundred thousand dol lars to raise money to pay for the stock. Therefore the railroad company IS not re- sponsibIe for the payment of those bonds
  respect an indebtedness.
 The city holds it's stock in the company on the same terms and obligations as all other stockholders. In the third place. the "guar anteed bonds" amounting to 1925, 900 cannot be called an indebtedness to the city. The city is indemnifed for it's guaranty Of said lands by first mortgage on all the property of the railroad company outside of the lay out, and second mortgage upon the entire franchise of the company. These bonds are due in 1890, and cannot become an indebted ness until they become due and are unpaid. The liability of the city is the same as that of an endorser on a note, and of course an in debtedness cannot occur till the matur- ity of the obligation.
 I have thought 1t necessary to make this statement ''of facts and figures" ss the readers of the article referred to might be led into error and misconception as to the indebtedness of the Derby railroad to the city. The subtraction of $525, ,000 from the total as represented from ths Auditors books (S81O, 39O 25) is too large figure to be mis- represented.
 The total indebtedness to the city, as the Auditors books should show on the first of August, 1883, is accumulated interest, $21O,- 37O. .35; note to the city, $50, 900; note of the city town. Fitch, trustee, 1925, OOO;-$2S5, ,370.- 35, errors excepted, instead of $SlO, 39O.25 as printed. Very respectfully,

 Treasurer N. H. and Derby R. R. Go.

NEW YORK, Jan g.
 The market to-day was moderately active and the course of prices irregular During the first hours business the bears raided and especially de- voted their attention to Union Pacific, Oregon continental and Lackawanns. The they raided on the fear of trouble between the company and the other trunk lines growing out of Commissioner Finks order to connecting western roadg to ch .nge the Lackawa.na local rates after tomorrow. Oregon TrsnscontinentsI sold down on the generally unfavorable construction put on the report of the committee appointEd to investigate its afars while Union Pacific was depressed reports Of decreased earnings. About the lowest prices were reached at noor, when the lowest showed declins of 4 to k per cent, the latter in Union Pacific. Shortly after midday how ever, the selsrs of the morniCg entirely changed front and going to the bsar side began buying as vigorously they had unlosdsd. This was supplemented by numerous supporting orders from insiders and prices bega2 to The buy ng movement continued with but sligh. interrup- ion throughout the rest of the day and as a rule prices st the close showed a Fharp advance over Mondays quotations. The advancs was stimulated to no little degree by dispatch received from Gel onel Hayes of the Missouri Pacific stating that at the meeting of the Iowa pool to-day it was agreed to maintain rates for thirty days pending discussion of the adjustment with the Burlington and Quincy road in relation to contract. The advance in the active list compared with Mondays prices ranged from x to DIT cent and was most marked in Michigan Central, Northern Pacihcs, Northwest erns, Jersey and New York Centrals Oregon Eavi- gation, Oregon Trapscontinental. Omaha preferred and Wabashes. The appointment of 8 receiver for the New England road caused general surprise and led to decline from 1s1 Monday to 13. From this the stock recovered to 1873, which it closed Great confidence is expressed, however, in Nr Clark the present receiver of the road, and while everybody is surprised and chagrined at the new phaee in affairs much faith is put Mr. Clarks tact and ability and encourages the hope tn 1t he will pull the company out Of it's present trouble.
