BANKS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. The following table represents the condition of the New Hampshire banks immediately before and immediately following the revulsion of 1857, compared with September, 1860 :— There are fifty-one banks in the State of New Hampshire, with an aggregate capital of nearly $5,000.000. Three of them have a capital of $200.000 each, viz. :-The Amoskeag Bank, Manchester, and the Piscataqua, Exchange, and Rockingham banks, of Portsmouth. Six have a capital of $150,000 each, and the remainder range from $50,000 to $100,000--no one having a capital exceeding $300,000. The bank circulation is only two-thirds of the capital in amount. Only three of the banks have a circulation exceeding $100,000 each, viz. :— Amoskeag, at Manchester, Manchester Bank, and State Capitol Bank, Concord. Twelve of these banks (out of fifty-one) have loans from $67,000 to $90,000 only. Of course they must be managed on a very narrow policy. DEBT OF TENNESSEE. The State of Tennessee is increasing its liabilities in support of railroads. The entire railroad schedule of Tennessee embraces 1,550 miles. The average cost per mile is $27,000. The State takes a first mortgage on the road, and as fast as it is ready for the iron, advances $10,000 per mile in bonds-1.220 miles are completed, and State aid granted; 280 miles to be completed within two years. For the building of several large bridges the State advances, in addition to the $10,000 per mile, a stipulated portion of the cost of such structures. About $50,000 will cover this advance. The debt of Tennessee in now in round numbers The future increase will be ... $13,500.000 2,500,000 $16,000,000 Total, when the roads are all complete....... To wit, State 6 per cent bonds, $13,800,000; State indorsement on 6 per cent railway bonds, $2.200,000. Each road is bound to provide the interest on its amount of State aid, and when completed, to pay into the sinking fund 24 per cent per annum on the amount of State aid. Two of the roads are now paying dividends to the stockholders-one 6 and the other 8 per cent, and are also paying 24 per cent to the sinking fund. In a few years the contributions to the sinking fund will be $400,000 per annum. This will be used in purchasing their own bonds. STATISTICS OF TRADE AND COMMERCE GRAIN PORTS OF THE LAKES. It will be interesting to many readers of this Magazine, to see the exact figures showing the receipts of flour and grain at the primary receiving ports of the great lakes, from which come the bulk of imported breadstuffs to feed the Northeastern States and the hungry of Western Europe. First on the list, and far before any other, is Chicago, the receipts and shipments of which have been kept before the public, in most of the leading commercial journals, and need not be repeated. Next to Chicago stands Toledo, the large business of which has, hitherto, failed to attract much public notice. We give them here, in some detail, as published in the Toledo Blade of 1st November : Milwaukee comes next, as reported by the Milwaukee Sentinel:— Detroit follows Milwaukee, and for the same three months, received in flour and wheat, counted in bushels, as reported in the Detroit Advertiser, as follows: Cleveland, according to the Cleveland Herald, received for the same three months, as follows:- Detroit receives very little corn, and of other grains probably about the same as Toledo. Reduced to the measure of bushels, Detroit and Cleveland, which are, in some degree, rivals of Toledo in this business, the aggregate of the two compare with Toledo as follows:- The receipts of October, at Toledo, it will be seen, were considerably less than in September. This is attributable to the want of store room at Toledo, and the lack of shipping to take it away. It is probable that the same causes operated to keep back receipts at the other lake ports. WEST INDIA EXPORTS. J. W. S. EXPORTS OF SUGAR AND RUM FROM ALL THE BRITISH WEST INDIES AND THE COFFEE ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE RICHMOND TOBACCO MARKET. In accordance with our annual custom, we present our readers with a review of the Richmond tobacco market for the year just ended. The average value of the tobacco and stems exported each year, during the past four "tobacco was as follows: years In 1859-60 In 1858-59 $101 $134 163 The following table will show, at a glance, the receipts, inspections, exports, and stocks for five years past-details of which will be found under the appropriate heads. The stock now on hand in this city is unprecedented :— Lugs.... The figures showing the exports in '56 and '57 do not include coastwise shipments, no available record of them having been kept for those years. We will insert here a comparison of the highest quotations of the past three years: Leaf, C to G.. 5 a 8 7 a 94 Fine shipping... 9 a 12 10 a 14 Fine manufacturing... The following is a statement of the receipts of tobacco at Richmond, by canal and railroads, each year during the past five years: There were also received last season, 54 hhds. in the dock, and 20 by the York River Railroad since July 1st, this year, when our record commences. The excess of receipts over inspections is 6,835 hhds., against 5,617 hhds. for the previous year. This difference arises from the receipt of iuspected tobacco (termed "Upland,") sent here for re-sale or transhipment. The receipts of stems, last season, by canal and railroads, amounted to 4,491 hhds.; in 1858-9 to 2,875 hhds. COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF INSPECTIONS OF TOBACCO IN VIRGINIA, FOR THE YEARS ENDING SEPT. 30тH, 1856-7-8-9 AND '60. Although a large quantity of the tobacco brought to market in crates, boxes, or in bulk, (termed "loose,") is prized in hhds., re-inspected, and thus re-sold, by far the largest portion is purchased and used by the manufacturers. Estimating 1,400 lbs. to the hhd. we have the following comparative recapitulation of weights, and their equivalents in hhds. : Foreign.
