For Adilitional City lntvKjtict tec F t (A ';,.
Board of Trade. The annual meeting
of tn Hour of Trade wss held last evening.
4tr. fi. C. Morton m called to the chair, and
Mr. Thorntos Brown appointed secretary. Tno
annual report of tne secretary of the Board was
then read. The industry of Pennsylvania has
lieen, on the whole, very bountifully rewarded
during the past twelve months.
In ooal, aPhoagh one of the anthracite fields,
in consequence of a prolriiote.d strike m the.
part ot the miners, has iallcn some half million
tons short of its expected yield, the production
of the1 State, of all kinds, baa reachod an excess
of 1,304,331 tons of 2000 lbs. over that of the pre
vious year. The figures are 14,002,723 tons
against 12,(i)8,412 In 18ti4, worth fully seven dol
lars per ton within the limits of the estate, or,
fairly estimated, it has dlslubuted throtigtt the
vailous branches of Industry engaged in its utl
lirslion fully $!ih,01!),0G1.
Kor the first time since petroleum became an
article of commerce, we can, throueh return
made to the internal Rcvcnuo Bureau, estimate,
with as much accuracy as the sub)ect is capable
of, the gross product of the wells, without tres
passing npon tho domain of speculation. The
product returned lor May and June was 323,645
barrels, or at tho rate of 114,272 barrels per
month. From July to November, inclusive;
809,936 burreln, or at the ratp of 101,947 barrels
per month. This audition is cioubtlcs3 ownn; to
the development of the Pitliolo region. Making
for ti e year 1,943,304 bcrrls. of 45 gallons, or
S7,460,8U gallons, wortu 35 ccnta per gallon,
$311,087,797.'
The i reduction of pic iron, which up to the
publication of our last report was fully up to
60,000 Ions per month, has not quite maintained
that rate, owing to the hrrh cost of coal and tbe
tincertainty as to future "prices, caused by the
cessation of active war. t'ome furnaces were
entirely closed lor a time, and others curtailed
their operations. The. total production, esti
mating the twelfth month at the rata of tho pre
ceding eleven, has been 55'j,ko tons, worth, ac
cording to the Name principle applied above to
coal, $50 per tou, or SP27,'J9:!,5.'0, if tho manufac
ture had stopped at that point.
Aegrefjating the three a tides, we have for
them in their rudest forms:
Coal f98 019,001
l"ctroieum 8')fi'J7 7it7
Pig iron 2.s)Jtf,600
Total $158,607,358
But of the pig iron full five eighths has teen,
in tLe forges and rolling mi'lj and bloonierie9 of
Pennsylvania, advanced to ti grade worth at
least $H0 per ton, or $30 per ton on 350,000 tons,
added value, $10,500,000. Of petroleum reiined,
12.177,622 gallons entering into domestic con
sumption bos been retined in Pennsylvania,
without taking account of that which has been
taken for export, which can readilv be dist'n
fu'shed from that retlued m other States; the
value added is fully 35 cjintt per gullou on the
quantity renned, or $1,202.1(17. Tue total of the
three products is $17l.:;0,625.
Mr. Giore N. Allen oilerc i a resolution that
the officers oi the board lie m.-tructed to pre
pare and send to the Legislature a petition that
the legal rate of interest be fixed at seven per
cent., because that is not more than an ade
quate hire tor money. The resolution was

TUB COMMJtRCE'OP TUB PLAINS, S. C.
The number of frcishtors engaged in trans
porting goods during tho past year was greater
than in any previous season, alchouch, of course,
the old firms did the larger part of the business.
First on tho list ol heavy shippers is the mam
moth Butterlield Overland Despatch Company,
whose business connections, extending to nesrly
every lurge city on the continent, are well de
fined anu innuentiai.
The total amount of goods shipped by these
freighters during the sca-on was 21,531,830
pounds of assorted merchandise, requiring tor
its fhipment 4!17 waeons, 6250 men, 71G4 mules,
27.085 oxen, and 1U0 uorses.
i Ol tnis amount ot goods 7,iuz,(iuu pounds was
shipped to Dsnver, Colorado; 4,950,667 pounds to
Central City and Black Hawk, Colorado; 2,715,282
to Salt Lake City, Utah; 1.482,123 to Santa Fe,
New Mexico; 8SD,U00 to Julesburg, Colorado;

Rib v. Kanoas: 759.000 to Camp Collins: 303.600
to Fort Union, New Mexico; 412,00'J to Virgin a
City. N. T; 107,048 to Montana; 102,310 to durer
ent points in Nevada; 46,oro to Fort Kearney,
N. T.; and 1,200,000 to diileiont point3 in West
ern Kansas, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho.
The capital invested in tins grsat commerce is
enormous. Oxen, mules, and wagons nave com
manded unusually high prices during the past
yenr. The cost ot the waaons employed would
average $306 apiece; mules $200; oxen $160 per
voke: harness S'JO toreacn six pieces, rne tune
occupied by each train in loading and making
tne trio tnroimn and duck, win average tnree
months, and the wages ot tno men employed $50
per montti. to sum up ine total capital invested
this season would be about as follows:
The total value of 4917 waeons, averaging

TUE OVERLAND STAUE LINB,
the longest stage route in tlu world, forms an
other great feature in tho business ot Atchison,
Its coaches leave here dmly for Denver and Cem
tral Citv, Coloiado, 653 miles; Great Salt Lake
City, Utah, 1255; and Placerville, California,
1013 miles, irom Matt Lake a nrnncn line runs
northward, traversing Northern Utah, Idaho and
Montana Ten itones, reaching Bannock and Vir
ginta cities. Anotuer biancn, 850 miles long,
runs Dortnwcst via tioise City, Idaho, to the
Dal Irs Falls of the Coluraoia, the head of
navigation on the river Irom the ocean. Be
tween this city and Salt Lake the company
has 450 men, 1230 horses, and 180 coaches in
vti employ, while on ail ot its connections
there are b35 m'n, 356 coaches and exprejs
wagons, and 8530 horses aud mules. The tare
through irom Atchison to Placet viile is $200.
Railroad tare irom Hew York to Atchison is $11.
arid from I'lacerville to San Francisco $10; thus
making the' lare tnroncti irom isew lork
city to San Francisco $251. The stations on the
route are about thiiteen miles apart, and meals
average sixty cents. Passengers are allowed
twenty-live pounds of baggage free. The coaches
make the trip through from Atchison to Denver
in lour to six days; to Salt Lake in about eleven
or twelve days, and to Placerville, California, in
irom seventeen to twenty days. Teiecraoh
stations are established all along the line. The
coaclus carry the great overland mail, and are

From Hugo Rtcherds, Esq., the gentlemanly
sceut of the line in this city, we have obtained
the above items. Mr. Richards a'so informs us
that duriner the oast vear the coaches carried
2007 passengers West, and brought 2281 from the

A COMPARISON WITH FOBMBR TEARS.
The statement of the business done this vear
shows a very gratifying increase over that of
any previous season. The trade has grown and
is growing witn wonuenui rapidity, we una
in our tiles statements of the business during
the vears 1858, 1851), 1860, 1803, and 1864, as
follows:
Waannt. M?n. Mur t. Oren. Lbs. Md..
W,9 777 1114 126 74H0 8,730,905
IHfp'J 054 lltW 627 3.'ij 4,0:'0 9J5
)W0 1578 2i2Y 627 96 8,220,883
1863 6 4'iiM5j
1SC4 lO.OSU'SO
For the vears 1861 and 18C2, no statement was
published, but during these years, just follow
ing the outbreak ot tne war, mere was a great
tailing off in private freighting, it was not till
1864 that the business resumed its wonted
activity, and exhibited again that greatness
which mutt soon render tho commerce ol the
Plains the uo?t wondortul development of the
West. Tho past year presents a most striking
example of this astonishine growth. It is hevea
tunes larger than thut of 1858; five times larger"
than thut of lHii); nearly three times as lare as
that of 1860; four limeB grea'er than that of lso:i;
tud exceeds the trade ot 1SU4 by 4,803,4 to pounds.
THE PICTURE.
It is estimated by the most competent judges
that the freighting buslnes during tno year lti'JO
will be at leatt as large asjain as during the just
kpr'oh. The ramd increase ol our western
Slates and Ternt irif'S iu population and wealth;
the woudertul development oi the mineral re
sources or those vast reirions; tiio face that lor
years hence their pop'iUUoii will be a caii
suiniug, und, except in the rich ores in wui.'li
they abound, not a pioJ'iri,.g one, all taesj
facts point like Indices to an Immenne expan
Mon and augmentation f our already gigan
tic comrrrree. lhe restless migrating instinct
ot mankind 1s tinning if westward with
a power and intensity never betor witnessed.
The close of the war has given it a Ire-h and
gicantio impetus, and the tide ot emigration to
ine emnryo commonwealths imonj tue itocny
Mountains, is nvericaoinir vast ' intervals of
space in Its grand march. From the Miisotirl
river tne.se great Btatcs and Terrtioncv witn
their already larpe and constantly lncreaaimr
population, must draw their supplies, and until
railroads reach then,, this commerce must necss
farily be carried on, as now.lby means of ox or
niule-wsRons. Crowitigs the West grows, and
developing as the vast reeions of $uld ure de
veloped, the Hcop.? and magnitude of thaoom
nierce of th Plmns, alreadvloolo'sal, will surely
continue to expand and extend until it becomes
us noimaicFS as tho marvellous country wnicn
it supplies with all the cpseutiais of life.
