GENERAL REVIEW, 
New York, Saturday, March 30,1873. 
Since our last Wall Street report the excitement in 
Erie Stock tia» been intensified by Increased orders 
from Europe to buy, and by purchases to close out 
Bliort contracts at. home. The New Vork speculators 
arc understood to hare sold the stock heavily for fu¬ 
ture delivery at from 33 to 40 per cent., and ventures 
of the sutne sort were taken by speculators in the 
neighboring cities. When the price mounted on Mon¬ 
day and Tuesday last up to *&«.«) per cent., tunny of 
these parties took alarm, and hastened to close out at 
a severe Joss. The sales run up subsequently to <17* 
percent, on Tuesday, returning to 58* per cent, un 
Wednesday night and Thursday. 
Aside from Erie Stock there Is a strong improve¬ 
ment in the market, backed up by the changed feel¬ 
ing in England and on the Continent in regard to the 
Integrit y and protection of American Rallroud prop¬ 
erty since the overthrow of the Eric Ring. 
In gen cm) Trade the business of the week Is active. 
The Import? are large, and the sales of Foreign Dry 
Goods from storo and through the Auction Rooms 
are active and at satisfactory price?. The Export?of 
Products partially Improved, both from Now York and 
the Southern Cotton porta. Our Import trade through¬ 
out llic country continues to gain on last year, and 
while the Export movement of Domestic Produce 
also shows a gain. It is not in correspondence with flic 
excess of Foreign Merchandise consumed and which 
has to bo accounted for by Gn|<| or Che further em¬ 
ployment of American Stocks. The Bureau of sta¬ 
tistics in the Treasury Department, has Just completed 
the returns for the sixth mouth Of the current fiscal 
yeur, mid we here present a summary of the Foreign 
Trade movement of the half year ending December

The changes in our table since last week are all In 
favor of the market. Most of tlie railroads tire 2 per 
cent, higher, and Mtmeof them 3(5,4 percent, up Erie

cUihteen per cent, above our previous quotation, fell 
to 58®58)4 per cenl. The gold market Is *4 per cent, 
higher, and IT. 8. bond* y/$% per cent, higher. The 
market, near the close of the week, is buoyant in the 
spirit, of speculation, and active in the amount of bus¬ 
iness doing. 
The Northern Pacific Railroad. In whatever 
way the Northern Pacific Railroad is regarded, 
whether aa to executive management, route, 
resources or business, it is a great enterprise of 
universal interest. The northern portion of the 
American Continent is rapidly becoming the 
bond of union between the trade of Asia and ol' 
Europe. Its railways, and especially tlie North¬ 
ern Pacific Railway, will naturally command u 
groat through IraiTie; and Hie local business will 
increase year by year with t he development of 
the country. The line parses through one of the 
best wheat-growing regions in the world, and 
through districts teeming with many kinds of 
mineral wealth. These are the elements that 
attract population, and population implies in¬ 
dustry, by which wealth is accumulated and dis¬ 
tributed.—Loudon Muncy Market Review. 
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS, 
Reanimating the Hair.—When the hair ceases 
to draw from the scalp the natural lubricant 
which is itesustenance, its vitality is, as ir were, 
suspended and if not promptly attended to, 
baldness will be the certain result. The one 
sure method of avoiding such an unpleasant 
catastrophe is to use Lyon’s Kathairon, which, 
when well rubbed into the scalp, will speedlly 
reanimate the hair and prevent it from falling 
out.
