OUR COMMERCE.

Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, by invitation of
Colonel John W. Forney, the Collector of the
Port a number of merchants and distinguished
citizens of Philadelphia met at Augustln's, on
Walnut street, above Eleventh, for the purpose
of having an informal conversation as to the
best method of advancing the Interests of this
city as a commercial centre, and of taking some
action in reference to the operations of the new
law of July 14, 1870, with special reference to
the importation of goods into this city.
-rr-.-..a for the meeting was one
o clock, and at that hour we found assembled in
the parlors Colonel John W. Forney, Collector
of the Port; J. E Kingsley, of the Continental
Hotel; G. B. Lobdell, special agent of the United
States Treasuiy Department; Hons. Leonard
Myers, AYilliam D. Kelley, and Alfred C.

John Price Wetherill, Henry C. Carey, the
distinguished writer on "Political Economy;"

8. Close, Superintendent of Appraisers' Stores;
J. L. Ringwalt, A. Fieish, General George Cad
walader, Captain Huston, Deputy Collector,
and many others whose names we could not
ascertain.
A short time was spent in social converse as
to the business which had led the Collector to
call them together, after which the company was
escorted to the dining room, where a bounteous
collation had been spread for the delectation of
the guests, and at which Colonel John W. Forney
presided. Full justice mas done to the viands
provided, and upon the removal of the cloth the
regular business ot the day was introduced by
Colonel John W. Forney.
The Collector referred to a statute intended
to facilitate the transportation of imported goods
between Nrw York and Philadelphia, whlcb, on
coming into office he had found practically a
nullity. Merchants of this city were exposed to
great inconveniences, resulting from delay in
the delivery of tbeir goods. Aided by Messrs.
Kelley, Myers, and O'Neill, he had been laboring
to re'medy the evil. The beginning of refarm
promised well, and he hoped that Philadelphia
would resume her commercial supremacy.
He then introduced Mr. Lobdell, the special
agent of the United States Treasury Depart
ment, who, after referring to the complaints
made by merchants and echoed by the press of
Philadelphia, concluded by saying:
"And now, in respect to all Intimations and
charges, from whatever source, that the Trea
sury Department either is or has been throwing
obstacles or impediments unnecessarily In the
way of business under the transportation laws,
with intent to embarrass or prevent fair, honest
business transactions with the Government
under those laws, I have to say, and I speak
that which I know when I do say, that all such
Insinuations, imputations, and charges are
wrong and entirely unfounded, being based only
on misapprehension ot the facts of the case.
"I should certainly be glad to see the foreign
commerce of this city increased to such extent
as to require the use of that entire building for
its accommodation. 1 do expect to see it
largely increased from the trade the merchants
in this city are opening with Europe via New
York, under the new law authorizing transit In
bond, notwithstanding the present seeming diffi
culties, which are regarded by many as lions in
tbe path or by the wayeide. My official duties
have been such as to afford perhaps as correct
a knowledge of the operations under the law
and 'regulations tor the transportation of mer
chandise without appraisement, as the nature
of the case will permit.
i "Thanking you one and all for your kind at
tention to what I have felt myself called on to
av. I will only add my best wishes for the suc
cess of all well-directed efforts to increase the
business prosperity of the port of Philadelphia
As a further elucidation of the subject. Colo
nel Forney presented the following statistics:
The following duties were paid by Philadel
phia merchants at New York during the year
1870:
McCallum. Crease & Sloan t55,000
Vonr other carpet firms 155,000
Cohen & Son 13,500
VsMmates on laces, jewelry, etc 500,000
Estimate on silk goods 12 firms 800,000
Etimateon woollen goods 15 firms. 2,200,000
PsMmate on drugs H firms 850,000
Estimate on lanc-y goods 12 firms 300,000
Estimate on cotton andlinens 12 firms 450,000
Total 14,823.000
Tbe next extract read by tbe Collector was a
communication addressed to him by Reuben
W'under Inspector of Bonded Goods, dated
May 18 1871, which, after referring to the fa
cility of despatch under the operation of the act
Oierh1a4nd6e0WoyBPhadelphia was first re
rived by car, via Camden and Amboy Railroad,
viv Shipments have been received daily
without unavoidable delays; whereas under the
worktop of the old svstem goods were detained
Jn New York M long as a month before they
ere received r tbeir owners, ,ln consequence '
of the multiplicity of business and difficulty that
were Involved in passing them through the New
York custom-house. I respectfully invite your
attention to tbe following exhibit: ' .
Consignment to Lippincott, Johnson & Co., ol
this city, was placed in the hands of oae of our
best custom-house brokers May 5, and mauea
to New York at 5 o'clock of that day. The
manifest being incorrect, the Collector at New
York refused to check the papers on theetn
(the 7th being Sunday). lie (the Collector),
however, on Monday, the 8th, after 10 o clock
A. M., consented to check the papers-did so,
and upon that same day they were shipped to this
city, arriving upon the next day, the tb, were
entered in this custom-house, duty paid, ex
amined by the appraiser, and the whole con
signment delivered before 12 o'clock M., really
making tbe whole delivery Inside of forty-three
hours from hour of mailing papers to agent in
New York
The Camden and Amboy Railroad has done all
in its power to aid the furtherance of the re
quirements of tbe law, and the Custom House
ofllcers in charge are always ready and anxious
to render the enactment effective and success
ful for the commercial and business interests of,
this city and Government.
Tbe next paper read by the Collector was the
following, which comprised one month's ac
count of invoices received at Philadelphia in
regular consular remittances, with the number
taken respectively at New York and Philadel
phia, and which shows that of 827 invoices 503
were entered at this port:

Tni.l fcrto on. uef
t .x.IiHr'ii'he invoices actually received
here (but entered and paying duties at New
York), an equal number arrive at New York and
are entered there in the name of our merchants,
duplicates of which are never sent here; and the
aggregate of duties paid at New York for im
ports coming here is larger than the aggregate
paid here as duties on goods entered direct. The
whole number of Invoices belonging here is
about one thousand per month.
Speeches were also made by Messrs. John D.
Watson, John Price Wetherill. and J. C. Grubb;
by tbe Hon. Leonard Myers, General Patterson,
and Judge Kelley.
Mr. J. J. Buchey proposed the following
resolution:
Pesolved, That a committee of ten be ap-
Sointed by the chairman of this meeting (Colonel
. W. Forney), to be composed mostly of those
who are interested in tbe operation of the law
of July 14, 1870, who shall be instructed to con
fer with G. a. .Lobdell, special agent of tbe Trea
sury, before he leaves the city, and with the
Secretary of the Treasury, in order to secure
such a modification or change in the regula
tions that they can be made practicable for the
advancement of the interests of the merchants
and importers of Philadelphia.
ine question was put by tne Chair and unani
mously agreed to. . .
uoionel J)orney desired to Know if the com
mittee should be appointed at once or within a
day or two.
Un motion, it was agreed that tne committee
should be appointed at the leisure of the Chair,
and announced through the columns of the
newspapers.
Ine meetlne was then resolved into a social
gathering, and shortly after adjourned.
