FIRST MORTGAGES05f IMPKOVED FARMS,

Drawing^ 1 and 8 Per Cent Interest,

NEGOTIATED BY

The Corbin Banking Co.No. lis BROADWAY,

NEW YORK.

All Interest and Principal Payablein New TorJi City.

From 1851 to 1366 Mr. Austiu Corbiu resided

in tlio State of Iowa, and, In connection withtlie Danklng I)U8incs8, made a Bpeeialty of ueso-

tiating First inoi-tgago Iioans npon Im-proved Farms in tliat and other Nortli-

western Sta'.es. In 1866 he transferred tlie

business to the City of New York, with im-

mensely successful results. In 1874 the CorbinBanking; Company was orRanized to succeed

him in this business, and has continued it ever

since. From moderate beginnings this special

business has grown to very large proprirtion.s,

and now shows a Continuous and Com-plete Record or Result Covering tlie

Entire Period of 33 Years, The numberof current loans upon our books at this date

exceeds 33,500, and the amount of money out-

standing and due to individuals, savings banksand other corporations is upward of $12,000,-

000. The business has grown to its incsent

magnitude because its results, as shown by this

loug record, have been eminently satlsfactorj-.

During the periods of depression and general

depreciation of nearly all classes of investmentsecurities, which succeeded the panics of 1855,

1857, 18iil and 1873, these llrst mortgagefarm loans negotiated by us, baseil upou a 40-

per-cent cash valuation of the farms, returned

high rates of Interest to the lenders, withalmost the promptitude of Government bonds,

and from the beginning of the business to the

present time have absolutely proved them-selves to be the Safest and Best PayingInvestment in this Country. Fromyear to year during this period of 33 years wehave been perfecting the details. Our corres-

pondents in the various States are picked men,skilled in this branch of business, of superior

judgment, unquestioned integriti^ and honor,

and thoroughly conversant with the Uws, pro-

cedure and practice of their several States. In

addition to this, all the farms are examined andour correspondents' statements concemiugthem revised by independent agents of our company, paid bj- us a liberal salary, who reportdirectly to us in New York; and in a multitude of

minor details which have been perfected at

great expense through the e.xperieuce of this

TBE FINANCIAL SITUATION.The features of tlic week }iave been an easier market fox

foreign e.xcliango checking in a measure the outflow of

gold, a slight downward turn in the speculations in

grain and cotton (the latter affecting prices of goods and

giving a further impulse to the short-time movement), a

variable market with a tendency to still lower prices on

Wall Street, and the failure of a large operator in stocks

here and of a large operator in grain in Chicago and St.

Louis. With the exception of the variation in foreign

exchange, these occurrences have had no effect on the

general situation, which has continued spiritless and do-

pressed, more under the influence of fear than of actual

loss. For in mercantile circles although profits are small

and goods are in some departments accumulating, there

is undoubtedly a very fair amount of business in progress

while labor is in general very well employed.

It should bo kept in mind tliat, under existing condi.

tions, the present volume of our domestic trade can by no

means be measured by our foreign trade movement. The

latter is unnatural, thoroughly deranged through the in-

fluence of currency conditions which we have so often ex-

plained. We would call the attention of our readers to

an analysis, in a subsequent column, of the March figures

of imports and exports, issued this week by the Bureau of

Statistics. That statement gives the exports at only .50^

millions, but the imports are nearly 61 1 millions. There has

been no March since the resumption of specie paymentswith so small a record of exports, while the imports

during that month have reached a similar total only two

years during the same period. That is to say, after along season of depression in our industries, with consump-

tion evidently restricted, prices here compared with prices

at European markets rule so high, as not only to prevent

our own products from leaving us to the extent of even the

worst of above years, but also to attract foreign products

in greater amount than in most former years. Some will

claim that our exports are small because our crops were

small. That is only in part true. Crops were Hot so largo

last sum'mer as they were the previous year, but were very

much larger than in 1881-2, and in fact, taken together,

probably larger than any other year except 1880. Besides,

as business is depressed, products other than food ought to

go out in greater volume than during more active yeare

—

that is, values ought to and would, if the influences were

wholly natural, conform to the conditions of trade so as to

produce that result. Furthermore, and for the same rea"

sons, our imports should be running low. But instead of

such results, we are importing freely and exporting spar-

ingly.

In this connection the Government revenue figures for

April, which we have received through the kindness of !Mr.

Folger, Secretary of the Treasury,*are interesting, giving

us as they do something of a guide for estimating the for-

eign imports for April, while at the same time further

showing the opportunity there is for relieving the industrial

situation by largo tax reduction. It seems that the customs

duties last month reached a total of nearly 1')-^ million dol-

lars, against 13 million dollars a year ago, and the intei'nal

revenue receipts were over 10 millions, against 9.J- millions.

The monthly figures for tliis and last fiscal year are as

follows.

520 THE CHEONICLE. (Vol. XXXVUl.

It should be said, in explanation of the above, that in

1883 a larger portion than usual of our imports went into

warehouse to await the tariff reductions which took effect,

some of them the first of June and others the first of July.

Hence the customs duties paid that month did not probably

bear the same relation to the total imports that they do

this year. We may consequently estimate the imports this

April at say 59 millions, against 57 miUions in 1883. The

internal revenue receipts were also smaller last year than

they otherwise would have been, some payments having

been held back until after May 1st, at^ which date the

changes in the internal i-evenue taxes went into effect. The

foregoing figures, however, go to confirm our estimates and

suggestions made April 5 (page 400) with reference to our

surplus for the next fiscal year and the pressing need there

is for tax reduction. To further illustrate the same truths,

we give for two years the following, showing first the total

merchandise imports during each of the ten months, sec-

ond a similar statement of the customs receipts, and third

the percentage the customs receipts have borne to the total

merchandise imports for the same months.

• Estimated.

For the reason we have stated, no conclusion can be

drawn from the April percentages. The final or total per-

centages are a more correct indication. According to

them the customs receipts for the ten months under the

new tariff have averaged 29-40 per cent on the total

imports, against 29-79 per cent for the same months last

year under the old tariff. Such figures, taken in connec-

tion with the remarks made above, afford a pretty clear

indication of what the country needs. In fact, we believe

that any Congr&ssman who will study the present situation

carefully, with a sole desire to take such action as will

quickest relieve; the existing industrial depression, cannot

fail to conclude that, first of all, we need to have our cur-

rency reformed throughout, until it is made strictly respon-

sive to our varying trade requirements; and second, weneed to lessen at once the tax exactions which our indus-

tries are now burdened with. If we could secure legisla-

tiop in these two directions there would be little cause for

further anxiety.

The first of May Treasury statements also lielp us to fol-

low th« gold shipments of the last two months and to note

the sources of supply. During March we shipped, accord-

ing to thy. Bureau of Statistics, $11,323,334 net, andduring April, as nearly as we can figure it from the NewYork totals, the net outward movement reached about

18^ miUion d<jllars, or a total of nearly SO milUons in the

two months. The change that has taken place in the

Treasury stock in this period is indicated in the following

table, showing separately the holdings of coin and bullion,

the amount of certificates issued against the same, and thetotal of certilieiite.s actually outstanding.

Here we see that the actual loss by the Treasury duringthese two months was only about 4^- miUion dollars, so it

is evident that the banks have met the greater part of the

demand. It is interesting to observe, however, how the

different items of the_ Treasury's holdings have beenaffected .under the drain. It has been cheaper to ship

bai-s, so the demand has been mainly for these, andthe Treasury has been the source of supply. This is seen

ill the fact that while on the 1st of March the Treasury

stock of bullion counted for $67,017,657, on the Ist of

May it counted for only $45,686,932, or nearly 21^millions less. But while this movement of bars out of

the Treasury has been in progress, the movement of certifi-

cates in, has been equally large, and this of course has offset

the loss on that account. The gold certificates outstand-

ing have been diminished in two ways: first by a reduction

of the amount issued from $108,443,500 to $101,116,200,

and secondly by an increase of the Treasury holdings of

the same from $30,600,070 to $44,415,395, the two togeth-

er involving a decrease in the amount outstanding of

$21,142,625, or only a little less than the whole decrease in

bullion. The falling- off in the stock of coin has been

about $4,200,000, which is nearly the same as the net loss

of all kinds of gold by the Treasury in the two months.

Turning to the bank figures, we find tliat whereas the asso-

ciated banks of New York held $76,848,200 specie on the

1st of March, on last Saturday, April 26, this had been

reduced to $58,215,300, a decrease of §18,632,900. Add-

ing this to the Treasury loss, we get a total loss of about 23

millions, against the 30 millions sent out, leaving 7 million

apparently unaccounted for. But last week's bank state-

ment, on account of the system of averages, did not

reflect in full the loss of the previous seven days, while

the exports of gold on Saturday, and again on Wednes-

day of this week, did not of coui-se count at all in that

statement. Further, as the movement of currency has all

along been in favor of this centre, it is to be presumed that

by an inflow from the banks of other sections our banks

have been able in part to replenish the loss on account of

the export movement.

But this outflow of gold has, as already stated, teui

porarily received a check this week, rates for sterling ex-

change having been reduced on Thursday so that nowactual business is being done at figures which afford

little or no profit for shipments. The reasons assigned for

the reduction are, the little better request for money here,

the glut of money in London, and some addition to the

supply of bankers' drafts. On the latter point we hear of

bills of over .£300,000 drawn against investments by

British capitahsts in ' Southwestern lands. Another addi-

tion to the offerings came from bills drawn on South

American accounts. These, together with drafts

against a variety of shipments, have made for the

week a fdirly good supply. Those bankers whohave been fortunate enough to secure these bills have had

no occasion to send gold. Others whose engagements at

the other side have been more urgent have continued to

ship and are still shipping, although the profits in making

exports have been fractionally reduced by the inability to'

obtain from the Assay Office bars of a degree of fineness

greater thail 900, or to get from the Sub-Treasury any

more double eagles. This fact of itself would tend to re-

Mat », 1884.] THE CHRONICLR 621

tard shipinunts; but it would bo no bar to exports in case

there was any groat urgency in the demand for remit,

tanoe. If foreign bankers find tliat tliey can employ any

largo amouuLs of capital on safe loans running for

periods long enough to make it an object,

they may draw liberally and thus keep the

rates of exchange at or a little below current

figures until such time as bQls made in anticipation

of the movement of " the \ next crop of cotton

become available, which will be towards the end of June.

But at least so long as our imports continue large, wecannot exj>ect that the condition of our trade will justify

any material reduction in the rates for sterling. The

exports of gold this week amounted to $1,777,654 77 on

Wednesday, and $302,366 92 ou Thursday. It is expected

that the steamore saihng to-day will take $700,000.

In the stock market the transactions have been large

fhis week, but, as already stated, the tendency of prices

has been toward lower figures. There has also bccu

evidence of the throwing over of large blocks of stocks,

some of which have been held for a long time by parties

abimdantly able to carry their holdings, but who have

doubtless sold becnu=c dissatisfied with the representations

of those by whom tliby wdre fll-st induced to buy. Last

wbek and previously Union Pacific was manipulated in the

directiou of higher prices. Tliis week the same stock has

bSen poured upon the market under circumstances which

seem to give some weight to the report that the pool whobought it nearly ten per cent higher have been forced to

unload. Large blocks have also come from individual

holders, and the bears have been able to cover their short

contracts fi-ora the abundance of long stock.

On Monday Reading, the coal shares and the grangers

were raided, the latter on a rumor, subsequently denied, of

the rupture of the tripartite pool. The denial of this rumor

was accompanied by the statement that the conference be-

tween the Quincy and the Union Pacific had resulted in

the appointment of commissioners to examine and report

upon percentages for eight separate pools at as many differ-

ent "Western points, and it was stated that the prospects

were good for an amicable adjustment of all the

differences between the roads- in that section. On Tues.

day morning a calling in of Lake Shore started a covering

movement in the other oversold stocks, and the market was

generally strong until the afternoon, when it became

unsettled by liberal sales of Western Union, Union Pacific

and Central Pacific. The decline was arrested by a sharp

advance in Central New Jersey and Reading, but

the effect of this movement was only temporary

and the tone was weak at the close. In the afternoon of

this day an injunction was obtained in one of the State

courts against the New Yoi-k "West Shore & Buffalo, but

the papers were imperfect and the writ was annulled the

next nioming, causing a sharp recovery in the bonds

early on Wednesday. There was also at the same time a

manipulated rise in the stocks which were weakest the day

before, and after a raid upon Lake Shore and Louisville &Nashville, the market was generally strong until the late

trade, when news that Mr. James R. Keene was unable to

meet his engagements on privilege contracts caused an

unsettled feeling for the remainder of the day. On Thurs-

day the market was again manipulated in the direction

of higher prices, the smaller beai"s covered their short con-

tracts, and with the exception of occasional re-actions, the

movement was upward until the last hour of business.

Then disquieting rumors aided the bears in a demonstration

upon Western Union, L'nion Pacific, Denver, and the

Gould specialties, and the market was weak at the close,

Western Union selling at 60A, against 56 in 1877, the

lowest price, previously recorded, and Union Pacific aX

61, against 57^ in 187U. The fall in Western Union wmin part due to the reduction of rates on mesaagee, wliich

went into effect Thursday. On Friday there was a frac-

tional advance at tlie opening, but under renewed depre*.

sion in Union Pacific and Western Union (the former

dropping to 57J and the latter to 59}), the whole marketbecame weak ; later, a rise in the Northern Pacific stocka

(on reports of large earnings) was one of the features of

the day, but the close was quite irregular, though gener-

ally somewhat better.

, Central Pacific has not yet issued a report of itaoperfttions

for the year 1883, though we have just entered upon the

fifth month of the year 1884. But this week there comee,

by way of ('ahfornia, a statement of the company'sincome during 1883, which, in the absence of tlie detailed

report, will repay a few moments' study. It shows (what

was known before) that the company's gross income durin]g

tlie year fell off in amount of nearly a million dollars, but

it also shows that expenses were reduced over $400,000 at

the same time, so tliat the loss in net is only $563,000.

Stillj'as the balance remaining in 1882 was hardly more than

nominal, this farther loss in 1883 makes the company show

As compared with either 1881 or 1882—and especially

the former year—the exhibit is unsatisfactory ; but taken

by itself, the result for 1883 is really more favorable than

appears on the face. It should be remembered that the

Central Pacific has large annual payments to make on

account of its debt to the Government, on account of the

sinking funds on its own debt, and on account of the

redemption (out of land sales) of its land grant bonds. In-

this way, no less than $2,337,625 was paid out duiing

1883, and the deficit of $430,235 occurs because of that

fact. Except for these payments there would be a large

sui'plus, instead of a deficit, on the year's operations. It

is only fair to say that payments of this kind can hardly

'

be called a legitimate charge against income—certainly

not when they reach any such amount as in the present

instance. The less favorable result in 1883 than in 1882

and 1881 is to be ascribed largely to- the continued reduction

in rates as a result of increased competition, and also by

the scaling down of charges on local business by the

California Railroad Commissioners. Thus far in the

present year the same influences have been at work, and

the company also suffered an interruption of traffic byreason of the floods in Southern CaUfomia, so that its

gross receipts for the first three months fall $647,166

below those of the first three months in 1 883.

Philadelphia db Reading's exhibit for March presents the

same general characteristics as in the months immediately

preceding—namely, a continued reduction in coal tonnage,

under the restriction of production that has 1)oon in

522 THE CHRONICLE. [Vol. XXXVm-

progress, and a further large loss in gross and net earnings,

with also an additional loss on account of the lease of the

Central of Now Jersey. As the Reading is such a large

producer of coal (together with the Central New Jersey, it

now controls about one-third of the entire production of

anthracite in the country), and is so dependent upon this

item of traffic for its prosperity, the contraction in the

output of that article of coiirse affects its income

and revenues to a very great extent. How the re-

striction worked in reducing tonnage during March

is seen in the fact that the coal traflSc of the

road (allowing for the Central of New Jersey) reached only

376,773 tons the present year, agftinst 660,903 tons in the.

same month of 1883, a decline of 284,130 tons, or over 40

per cent. That is the one unfavorable feature in the Read-

ing's present position—the diminished demand, necessi-

tating a reduced output of coal. Its merchandise and pas-

senger traffic not only keep up well, but actually show

an increase on the preceding year. Thiis without counting

those on the Central of New Jersey there were carried in

March, 1884, 1,013,443 passengers, against only 970,332 in

March, 1883, and the movement of general merchandise

was 599,478 tons, against 589,828 tons in 1883. But of

course the gain here could only in very small meas-

ure offset the loss on coal. Furthermore, the

same fact that, causes the Reading to make such a poor

showing on its own line.?, has also operated to reduce the

results on the Central of New Jersey, so that there is this

month another heavy loss in operating that road under the

lease. As the figures of gross and net earnings in the

company's monthly statement do not afford a correct com-

pari.son with 1883, by reason of the inclusion the present

year of the operations of the Central New Jersey (not so

included in 1S83) we have prepared the following table in

OTir usual form to obviate that difficulty.

Here we see (1) tliat under the restriction in coal pro-

duction the Reading and Central of New Jersey combined

earned $602,875 net this year, while in March last year

the Reading alone earned $702,502; (2) that taking out

$199,738 for the Central New Jersey, the Reading's ownnet reach $403,137, against the $702,502 actually earned

in March, 1883; (3) that the $199,738 net taken out for the

Central of New Jersey fall $272,311 short of meeting the

monthly rental wliich the Reading assumed on account of

the lease, so that there is this additional amount to he

deducted from the Reading's net earnings of $403,137, in

order to bring the comparison back to the basis of a year

ago, before the lease was made; allowing for this, we have

net earnings remaining of $130,826 this year, against the

$702,502 which remained in March, 1883" For the four

months of the company's fiscal year—December 1 to April1—after making in full the allowances necessary onaccount of the Central of New Jersey lease and rental, wefind that the Reading had left $699,445 to ajjply to its

own charges for interest, rentals, &c., against $2,841,244in the corresponding four months of the previous fiscal

year.

Money on call has been a little more active this week,

and the majority of the loans at the Stock Exchange have

been at 2@2^ per cent. The demand appears to be

entirely legitimate, and it is probably caused by the shift-

ing of loans resulting from the sharp fluctuations and the

tlecline in stocks. The movement of currency at interior

l)oints is still in this direction, and it is therefore probable

that the supply of loanable funds will continue for the

present at least fully to equal the demand. An important

export movement in whiskey from Louisville and other

distilling centres tends to relieve apprehensions which have

been felt lest the banks in those localities might be called

upon to make further advances in order to enable the

manufacturers of the whiskey to pay the tax and with-

draw it from bond. Arrangements have been made for

the export of about 2,000,000 gallons of the manufacture

of 1881, tax on which would have to be paid on May 5,

This product is being sent to Bermuda and Germany,

where it will be held at the pleasure of .the owners, and

the banks now loaning on the domestic warehouse receipts

will accept instead those given by the foreign warehouses.

The movement has already commenced, and it will jjrobably

continue until nearly all the whiskey distilled in 1881 is

exported. The following statement, made up from returns

collected by us, exhibits the week's receipts and shipments

of gold and currency by the New York banks.

The above shows the actual changes in the bank holdings

of gold and currency caused by this movement to and from

the interior. In addition to that movement, the banks

have gained $750,000 through the operations of the Sub-

Treasury and lost $3,800,000 by exports of gold. Add-

ing these items, therefore, to the above, we have the

following, which should indicate the total gain to the N.Y.

Clearing House banks of gold and currency for the week

covered by the bank statement to be issued to-day. It

should be said that last week's statement was made up on

declining averages, while the payments yesterday by the

Treasury for interest can count only in part in this week's

averages, so the statement to-daymay not bo as favorable

as here indicated.

OUH DIMINISHING FOItEION TRADE.Tlie course of our foreign trade during March, which

was reflected by the early statements of broadstuffs

and provisions exports and by the outflow of gold, is more

clearly shown in the report issued this week by the

Bureau of .Statistics, of our total trade movement for the

month. Ever since last autumn the merchandise balance

has been running in our favor; but now it has been

revci-sed. and instead of an e.xces.s of exports, we have for

March an e.xcess of imports in the sum of over 5 million dol-

lars. In the corresponding month of 1883, tlio balance was

nearly 17 million dollars in our favor, so that on this one

muntli we are about 22 million dollars behind 18.H3.

With our foreign trade in such a condition and with a

further large balance duo from us for interest, ocean

freight, &c., it is not surprising that the movement of gold

out of the country should have assumed large propor-

tions. In the following table we give the merchandise im-

ports and exports from each leading port this and last year,

from which it will be seen that every port specified shows

smaller exports in March 1884 than in March 1883.

It ^yW be noted that almost the entire difference between

tliia and last year is duo to the heavy contraction of 21.V

millions in our merchandise export.*, but it will also be

observed that the total of the imports has been maintained

at a very high figure, an^ is even half a million above tho

large movement of March 1883. The total is C>\\ millions,

and is G.J millions greater than in the month of Febiiiary

preceding. It.is true that the March imports arc almost

invariably heavier than those of cither January or February,

but in view of the fact that these latter months exhibited a

falling off from 1883, it was supposed that tho same woiddprove tnie of March, and to discover now that there has

"actually been an increase, is, to say the least, occasion for siu--

pn.v. I'tir no one cuuKl anticipiit<- in a tiiiu; i>f !>

prOHstion wlien our ex|»<)rtH are fniling to the Hiiinl.. ^

biruition of unfavorable circumstances, there should Iw nocheck or int<>rrui)tion to the imports, a diminution of wWcli

wouhl afford such a natural, ready nioanit of improving tho

situation. Tho only explanation that can be marto

is that wo have through our unfortunate currency

arrangements prevented tho laws of trmle from aoserting

themselves, so that we keep on importing goods as if in

the midst of the prosperous times of 1880 and 1881. If

gold occupied the prop(!r place in our currency, instead of

tho inferior position which it is really made to hold, tho

outflow in progress would sjieedily ajiply its own correc-

tive, and a proix.-r equilibrium bo establi.she<J. As it i.s, arecovery is delayed and for that reason more trying,

since it can come only through such a depression in

business as shall make prices reflect tho tendency of

the times. At present, it looks an if wo were approacli-

ing such a condition, and as if our imports wouldhenceforth make progress toward that lower level whichthey are bound to reach, before a permanent recovery can

bo looked for. An evidence that the large imports during

March did not go into consumption is found in the fact

that while at the beginning of the month tlio stock of

goods in the warehouses was only $30,907,627, at the end

of tho month it had reached .$33,330,212—an increase of

nearly 2^ million dollars. ""At the same date in 1883 the

amount was §3.5,469,127, but thou tho total was being

constantly added to, by reason of a disposition to keep

goods in bond to get the benefit of tlie new tariff law.

As to the exports, tlie statement that the movement i.s

21^ millions below the figure of a year ago in March, con-

veys only an inadequate idea of how small it really is. Not^ince the year 1877 have wo had in that month a total sodiminutive as tho present. To make this plain, we give

below the movement each year in March since 1877.

1877 $45,791,2861878 71,529.4981879 OC, 134,7451880 77,350,547

1881 $85,068,7941883 62,613,8721883 77.631.8201884 56,218,703

Thus the total is smaller even than in 1878 by 15 million

dollars, and as compared with the best year that March has

seen—namely, 1881—there is a falling off of nearly 20millions. Tho decrease from la^ year is, as already said,

21^ millions, and turning to see how so gi-eat a loss occurred,

we find that there has been a falling off in all the leading

staples of domestic exports—breadstuffs, provisions, cotton,

petroleum, the reduction being in breadstuffs .'j;7,3»S,416,

and in provisions $4,823,420, or together $12,206,836. Ofcotton, we have not the values, but our own statistics as to

quantity show that we only shipped 379,528 bales of the

staple this year, against 503,290 bales in March, 1883, adiminution of 123,762 bales. Prices, however, are con-

siderably higher, low middling uplands being quoted at

10^ and 11 1-16 cents respectively at the beginning andend of the month in 1884, while in 1883 the quotation was9 11-16 and 9 9-16 cents. Tho petroleum shipments also

tmderwent a diminution, if tho figures of tho movementat New York are any criterion of tho total movementfrom tho United .States, though here, too, tho average

of prices was probably a little higher than in 1883. Buttho falling off in cotton, petroleum, breadstuffs and pro-

visions does not apparently account for the whole of tho 2 1 ^millions loss in tho total exjwrt.8, so the conclusion is, that

general and miscellaneous items of exports must also have

been of smaller amount this year. The breadstuffs and

provisions movement from each leailing port ia shownbelow.

But it is not only our merchandise staples of export which

show a smaller movement. There is one other commodity

which we produce in abundance here and for which we ought

to find a foreign market in increasing amounts, but which

also records a falling off. We refer to silver. Remembering

that the merchandise balance was against us this year,

while it was largely in our favor a year ago, and that we

have plenty of silver and no gold to spare, one would

naturally suppose that a greater amount of silver had gone

out this March in liquidation of our indebtedness than in

188,'?. Such is not the case. "We actually exported more

silver in March, 1883,'when our trade balance did not require

any shipment of the precious metals in settlement, than we

did this year, when such shipment was imperative. In

1883 the silver exports for the month aggregatod

$2,957,474; tliis year the amount was only $2,088,103,

though we also imported about $300,000 less. Of gold, on

the other hand, we shipped $12,224,13.5 this year, against

which $900,801 imports were received, making the net ship-

ments $11,323,334; while in 1883 only $284,180 was sent

out and $3,244,859 was received, making the net ingo

then nearly 3 million dollars. What liotter illustration

could possibly be given of the effect of our over-valuation

of silver and undervaluation of gold. We hold on to the

poorer and get rid of the better in making settlements

for merchandise debts.

Returning to the breadstuffs exports, it is of course

unnecessary for us to say that wheat and flour are mainly

responsible for the falling off. But corn is hardly less

conspicuous in this respect, and in partial explanation

it should be said that the shipments of this cereal

last year were unusually large by reason of tho

fact .that there was a heavy demand just at that

time, the crop of the season of 1881 having left a

large shortage which could not be met out of that of tho

season of 1882 until the early months of 1883. The

decrease in the shipments of wheat continues to be more

marked tlian of flour, and we have again to note that in

value the two very closely approximate each other. Thus

the value of flour exported was $3,618,617, while of wheat

it was $4,387,514, or but about $700,000 more. Rye, as

in previous months, is noteworthy for its gains. Follow-

ing are the figures.

We bring down our overland statements to-day to May1. The figures now cover tho first eight months of the

crop season.

0\T!HT.AXr> MOVEMENT TO JIAY 1, 1884.

The gross rail shipments during April record a decrease

from the figures for the same month of the two previous

years, the month's movement being 80,276 bales, against

89,155 bales last year and 80,683 bales in 1882-; for tho

eight months the total now reaches 953,946 bales, against

1,078,811 bales and 997,768 bales respectively for the same

period of the two preceding seasons. In the net movement

tho falling off is equally decided, the April figures being

only 20,398 bales, while in 1883 they were 27,538 bales,

and in 1882 reached 35, 157 bales. The total for the season

up to date is 546,726 bales, against 599,862 bales last season

and 429,630 bales in 1881-82. Our usual table, giving in

detail the movement for tho eight montlis of this year and

KECEIPT8, EXrOKTS AND BPINNERS' TAKINGS.

The falling off from previous seasons in the receipts at

the ports, noted last month, has continued during April.

The month's movement has been only 111,755 bales,

against 284,519 bales in 1883 and 147,595 bales in 1882,

making the total for the eight months 4,706,873 bales,

•gainst 5,630,189 bales for the same period last season

Mid 4,438,235 bales in 1881-82. Exports during the

montli exhibit a marked dechne fi-om the two preceding

years, reaching the small total of 186,098 bales; for the

same time last year the figures were 388,058 bales and in

1882 reached 352,348 bales. For the eight months of the

season the total exports reach 3,509,981 bales, against

4,106,241 bales in 1882-83 and 3,038,206 bales in 1881-82-

Port stocks are now about 103,389 bales below those at the

same time in 1883, and the stocks at the interior towns

are fully 80,000 bales* less than on April 30 last yeai-.

The amount of cotton marketed since September 1 in

83 and 439,734 bales more than in 1881-82. To deter-

mine the portion which has gone into the hands of North-

em spinners during the same period, we give the following.

The above indicates that Northern spinners had up to

responding period of 1882-83 of 147,190 bales and from

the same months of 1881-82 of 1,109 bales.

AMOUNT OF CROP NOW IN SIGHT.

In the foregoing we have the number of bales which

has already been marketed this year and the two previous

seasons. An additional fact of interest is the total of the

crop which was in sight on May 1, compared with previous

years. We reach that point by adding to the above the

stock remaining at that date at the interior towns, less

stock held by them at the beginning of the season. In

this manner we find the result for three years on May 1 to

be as follows.

THE COTTON GOODS THADE IX APHIL.

There lias been a fairly active demand for plain and

colored cottons in the leading markets during the first two

weeks of the month, owing to the iipward tendency of the

raw material; but buyers supplied their immediate and

near praspective wants, and the market again relapsed

into a quiet condition. Exceptionally loV prices stimulated

large dealings in cotton flannels, and there was an active

demand for these goods throughout the month. Brown,

bleached and colored cottons have ruled steady in price,

and Atlantic sheetings were advanced :^c. per yard on the

'2')th inst. Print cloths were in fair demand, and a trifle

dearer at times, but closed weak and lower. The stock of

print cloths in the hands of manufacturers and speculators

at the close of the month reached about 775,000 pieces,

against 689,000 pieces on April 1, 1884, 602,000 pieces on

May 1, 1883, and 1,276,000 pieces on May 1, 1882. The

proposition to restrict production by partial shutting downof the cotton mills in New England, and by reducing the

hours of labor, has met with much favor among manymanufacturers. Some of the mills, however, are bound by

foreign contracts, while still others have on hand a full

supply of the raw material, so that the short-time move-

ment will not be uniform; but it is expected that there

will be a considerable reduction in running time. It is

now stated that the Lowell companies will shut down on6

FINANCIAL BE VIEW OF APRIL.

The two events in April which excited more attention

than, any others were the continued large export of gold

and the extreme depression in stocks in the latter part of

the month.

The export of gold, in view of the trade situation as to

foreign commerce, seemed perfectly natural; and except

for the silver question and the piling up of silver dollars by

the continued coinage of $28,000,000 annually, the export

of $50,000,000 gold in the present half-year might not be

regarded with any particular apprehension in the plethoric

condition which our money market has been in for a long

time past. The .shipments of gold from New York i"

April were about I8|- million dollars, and the shiijmeiii

since January 1 about 31f million dollars, these bi^ins' tli

net amounts in excess of imports.

To regular readers of the Chronicle who had been wel I

informed that the cotton crop of 1883 was 1,000,000 bales

short of 1882, and the wheat crop was about 80,000,000

bushels .short, it could hardly be surprising that the trade

movement of the first-half of the ]>resent year did not com-

pare well with its predecessors.

The money market was affected only 'to a slight degree

by the decrease in gold, and the city banks did not fall be-

low the legal limit in their reserves.

At the Stock Exchange the latter half of the month was

marked by an extreme depression in prices throughout

nearly the whole list, and the lowest points reached by

many stocks were the lowest they had touched in several

years. While the immediate cause for this decline was to

be found, as usual, in the action of prominent operators,

the movement was based on the decline iu railroad earn-

ings on a number of leading roads—rnotably tlie Union

Pacific, Pennsylvania Railroad, Erie, and ijresumably

the other trunk lines not reported, also the Philadelphia &

Reading, and, as supposed, the Wabash and Southwest-

ern Gould roads, the earnings of these latter in 1884 having

been suppressed. The Gould stocks were among the

weakest, and the Stock E.xchange rumors gave to Mr.

Gould the credit of being the chief operator for a decline

in the present movement. At the close of the month the

tone was a little better; but prices—(Specially of Western

Union and Union Pacific—showed but little recovei-y as

compared with the heavy declime that had previously taken

place.

Foreign Exchange was necessarily firm to permit of

the export of so much gold, and the depression in stocks

probably had the effect of checking any large purchases

here for foreign account.

The following summary shows the condition of the NewYork City Clearing-House banks, rate of foreign exchonge

and prices of leading securities and articles of merchandise,

London. Saturday, April 19, 1831.

Bu-siness during the past week has presented much of a holi-

day appearance; but the features which have manifested themselves may, on the wliole, be regarded as favorable. If verycheap money is a sign significant of prosperity, the trade andfinancial business of the future should be very remunerative;but, unfortunately, tlie want of confidence which has beenprevailing for so protracted a period lias restricted generabusiness to such an extent that the financial requirements ofthe community are now unusually limite<l. Gold continues toarrive from the United States in large quantities, and a consitl-

eralile amount has now been piled up at the Bank of England.The supply of bills in the discount m.arket is very limited, andas there is but little inquiry for money for financi.1l purposesthe rates of interest for loans, as well as the rates of discount,have declined during the week to a considerable extent, moreespecially when it is borne in mind how low the quotations

'previously were. The position of the Bank of England must

528 THE CHRONICLE. [Vol. XXXVm.

continue to improve during the next few weeks, and theopinion is becoming very general that a 2 per cent Bank rate is

more than probable. Business throughout the country duringthe remainder of the spring and during the earlier summermonths is Ukely to remain stagnant, and it is just as difficult

to foresee the future as it was months ago. Cheap money andreasonable prices for food fail at the present time to give astimulus to activity quite as distinctly as they did last year,

and calculations and opinions regarding the future possess butlittle value. Merchants will undoubtedly puraue the sameinert policy that has so long been the characteristic of the com-mercial world, and it is evidently the better course at present.

The Bank of England return issued this week is favorable,and the proportion of reserve to liabilities has risen from i5% to

47% per cent, an improvement of 2 per cent. The increase in

the supply of bullion, notwithstanding that £321,000 was sentinto the estabhshment during the week, does not exceed £90,694;but this may be accounted for by the fact that the holidayshave caused a large increase in the circulation of gold coin.The supply of gold held by the Bank now amounts to£25,136,242, against £21,258,805, while the total reserve is

£15,373,022, against £11,302,765 last year. " Other securities "

amount to £23,032,307, contrasting with £22,182,340 in 1883.The demand for money has fallen away considerably, and

the rate for short loans is now IJ^ to 2 per cent. The discountmarket has been very quiet, and the rates have had a down-ward tendency. A still further increase of ease is anticipated.The following are the quotations for money and the interest

allowed by the discount houses to-day and same day of theprevious five weeks

Advices from Berlin state that a new Russian 5 per centloan has been arranged, the price of issue being 86 per cent.It is understood that it is already a success, as the PrussianGovernment has lent it its moral support. The total amountof the loan is £15,000,000, and the object is, as usual, toconstruct railways in those districts which need them,Russian securities are still held in favor by Continentalcapitalists, but they are less souglit after in this country. TheRussian Government, however, is too astute to fail in its

obligations, and there is no doubt many here will makeinvestments even at a premium. Even supposing the quota-tion to advance to 90, a good and comparatively safe rate ofinterest is obtainable.

It is a satisfactory feature in commercial circles that thecreditors of Messrs. im Thurn & Co., who failed in 1875 withgross liabilities amounting to £3,000,000, have been paid 20s'

in the £.

The weather during the week has been bitterly cold, withstrong easterly winds and with some sliglit showers of rain.Vegetation has been kept seriously in check, and some are ofopinion that the fruit crop, which promised well, will beinjured. Tiie little rain which has fallen is not, however, cal-culated to do much harm, and tlie frosts being dry ones, notmuch harm has probably been done. It is when late frosts

are accompanied by much rain that anxiety becomes reason-able. For the cereal and other crops the weather has been sat-

isfactory, and it cannot now be said that vegetation is in aforward state. Some warm and genial rains will, in fact, soonbe welcome, especially in those districts where the soil is light.

The wheat trade has remained in a very dull and inactivestate. Where sales are pressed, lower pricef have to beaccepted ; but there is no actual change. The course of thewheat trade in the United States is being closely watched, andbuyers operate here with great, and no doubt judicious, cau-tion. It will be seen by the figures given below that althoughthe stocks of wheat in the United Kingdom are considerablyless than at the commencement of the year, they are largelyin excess of last year. The stocks of flour have not varied toany important extent.

The quantities of wheat, flour and Indian corn afloat tothe United Kingdom, not including those from the Baltic, areas follows :

In the following statement is shown the extent of the sales ofhome-grown wheat, barley and oats in the 187 principal mar-kets of England and Wales during the first 33 weeks of theseason, together with the average prices realized, comparedwith those m 150 markets in the previous seasons :

KKW YORK. FRIDAY, MAY 2, 18S4-3 P.M.

The Money Mai-ket and Finnnci.al Sitnation.—A weekago we referred to the general movement on the part ofmanufacturers in all parts of the country, and in almost everyline of industry, to reduce the cost of producing their goods byreducing the wages of operatives, thus accepting the currentlow prices of commodities as comparatively permanent, andthus also requiring tlie railroads to prepare to accept tlie lowerrates of transportation that the changed conditions have forcedupon them, making a corresponding reduction in the cost ofoperating. This latter reduction is now in progress on manyrailroads, some of which are making contracts for the year for

coal at prices wliich will reduce the cost of fuel 10 per cent.

The Union Pacific Railroad also gives notice to its employesof a reduction in wages and salaries on May 1st, which will

average probably 1 1 per cent of all salaries and wages paid,

and of course salaries constitute one of the main items in thecost of operating a road. If, now, allowance be made for

the lower cost of all materials, supplies, &c., it will be seenthat we have here the means of very materially decreasingthe ratio of expenses to earnings, wliich later on may makeitself apparent in more favorable returns of not earnings.

Tlie movement of grain from the producers' hands to theprimary markets in the principal Western cities is steadilydiminishing, and the eastward movement of products also

diminished during the latter part of tlie past month. Tlie ex-ports for the week to April 36 had not yet begun to show theeffects of the speculative rise in the isrices of wheat in

this country, and showed a slight increase over the precedingweek. But the fact that tlie price of wheat has been advanced10 cents per busliel here, and has been met by little or no ad-vance ill the foreign markets, shows that the Americanmarkets liave got so far away from the foreign that exportsmust again be expected to decline.

The advancing tendency of rates of interest in the New Yorkmarket, though not manifest in any very important change in

the quotations, lias still had a decided effect on the foreignexchanges. Money is now so superabundant in London andon tlie Continent that the slight hardening tendency here lias

been sufficient to cause a reduction of J2C. on the £ on ster-

ling exchange, which brings it to figures where there is

scarcely any jirofit in making shipments. The total exports of

fold in the week from Friday the 2.5th to Friday, May 3, were3,836,144, and about !J700,000 more has been engaged for sliip-

ment to-morit)w.Money on call on stock collaterals in the last week has

ranged from 1}/^ to 5 per cent, the great bulk of the transac-tions, however, being made at 2}^ to 3. This is an advanceaveraging about 1 xier cent over the range of tlie severalprevious weeks, but it has been made more by an increasingdisposition of lenders to advance the rates, in view of thepossibility of a diminished supply later on, than from anyimmediate decrease or any increase of demand. Money is

also still moving to this city from the interior, the domesticexchanges in all the Western and Southern cities being infavor of New York, and the prospect is fair of a contmued goodsupply. Nevertheless there is less disposition to make timeloans at low rates. There is no more 'S}{ per cent time money,though loans on dividend stocks can yet be had at 4 per cent.Discount rates for mercantile paper remain uneJianged at 4and 41^ for endorsed iiaper for 2 and 4 months and 5 and 5^for single names.The weekly statement of the Bank of England showed a

loss of £1,838 in specie and a reduction in tlie reserve to

48J^ per cent from 49 per cent last week. Tlie Bank of Francegained 4,439,000 francs in gold and 1,439,000 francs insilver. The Bank of Germany gained 13,943,000 marks inspecie.

The following table shows the changes from the previousweek and a comparison with the two preceding years in theaverages of the New York Clearing House banks.

State and Railroad Bonds.—There was more businessin the market for railroad bonds in the last week than in anyof the three preceding weeks, and the fluctuations of prices

have been greater, with the result a general decline, whichin some cases in the early part of the week was very large,

tliougli partly recovered within the last day or two. Tlie widerange of tlie fluctuations for the week is shown below, viz.

State issues were extremely dull throughout the week andprices were sliglitly lower. Sales included Louisiana Consolsat 77, Tennessee mixed at 43. do Compromise at 47-^4', 473^, andArkansas Os funded at I534, 14.

Kailroad and Miscellaneous Stock.s.—Tlie general courseof tlie stock market in the last week, like that of the severalprevious weeks, has been toward lower prices, and many ofthe leading speculative stocks touched lower figures in thelast few days tlian they have touched before for many years.Tlie main causes for this decline are the competition, and con-sequent reduction in rates of freights and fares on railways,and of tlie charges for messages on telegrajih lines. Amongthe railroads in the Trunk Line Pool, competition has reducedfreights between Chicago and St. Louis and Now York towhere there is no profit in doing the work. The stragglebetween the Union Pacific and its tripartite allies

and the Burlington & Quincy remains undecided yet. Theassociation of Trans-Continental roads for the maintenance ofrates appears also to be in danger of dissolution, and some ofthe features of the market in the last week have indicated theprobability of a struggle between various Trans-Continentalinterests for the control of the Oregon Railway & NavigationCo.'s lines. The decline in prices has been increased and pro-longed by the temper of some of the most prominent operatorswho have been on the bear side of the market, and Mr, Gouldhas the reputation of having been a heavy seller of stocks. Anincident of the continued decline was the susi)ensiiin on Wednes-day of Mr. James R. Keene, who was unable to take the stockstendered to him on his outstanding puts. Pretty nearly thewhole market is lower than a week ago, but Union Pacific,

Central Pacific and Western Union Telegi-ajih have sustainedthe largest dejireciation, amounting for the week to 6{(f)9 points.

About the only stocks that have advanced are tliose of theNorthern Pacific system, whicli are higher on large e.irnings.

Delaware Lackawaii^a & Western has been very firmly held,

and closes % higher than last Friday.

ANNUAL REPORTS.Cliicna^o St. Louis & I'ittsltiirgr Ruilroail Compnii}'.

(For the i/cir ending Dec. iil, 18S3.)

The tirst annual report of tliU railnmd company, formerly theI'd. t'liio. & Irul. Control, has just l)oen issuwl, and after recit-

ing tlio facts relating to the foreclosure and reorganization,says

:

" Your company having completed its orpranization March20, 1883, took possession of your property April 3, 1883, andthe portion of the road in Illinois having been operated in con-nection with the residue of the property tlie figures hereinaftersubmitted cover the working of the entire line.

•' U nder the i>rnvisions of the agreement entered into betweenthe creditors and stockholders of the C. C. & I. C. RailwayCompany, the consideration to be paid by the C. St. L. & Pitts.Railroad Co. for the proin-rty in question was :

"First. The a.ssumptii>n of the mortgage debts of tlic origin.alcompanies consolidated into the C. C. & I. C. Railway (lo.,

amounting to $5.!J;J4,8;M, of wliich there have been paid to Dec.31, 1883, ^3M,600: outstanding Dec. 31, 1883, $5,010.2.34.

•' Second. The delivery to the purcliasing committee of thefollowing securities of your comitany. to Ix' by them deliveredto the holders of the securities of the C. C. & I. C. RailwayCompany, in accordance with the plan of reorganization, viz.":

|;23,000,()00 five per cent consolidated first mortgage bonds,;J30,000.000 preferred stock and $10,000,000 common stock :

but with the agreement that such of the securities a.s shouldnot be needed for the above purpose should be returned to yourcompany.

" There have been issued to Dec. 31, 1883, of these securities:

Common stock • $6, 570,142Amoitiu to be used in exohans*^ for stuck of the C. C. & I.

Balance in treasury of the company 3,881,000

The amount of interest on bonded debt appearing in thestatem'^nt b3low does not show the proper proportion for thenine months of the year, as but one interest paj-ment maturedduring that perioil on the 5 per cent bonds of the company,and on some of the sectional bonds. Assuming that all the .'5

fier cent bonds of the comimny had been issued which it wasiable to issue under the terms of the purcha.se of the property,the total interest for one year on the funded debt, includingthe outstanding sectional bonds, would have been f1,003,.'>81.

Three-fourtlLs of this sum, being the amount appertaining tothe business from April 2 to Dec. 31, 1883, would have been$7.53,685; deducting this amount from net income for the ninemonth.s would leave a surplus of $111,6.)3.

" Of the sectional bonds, subject to which your companypurchased the road, the outstanding prefcrrod'first mortgagebonds of the Columbus & Indianapolis Railway Comi)any,amounting to $1.57,000, the common fii-st mortgage bonds ofthe same company, amounting to $1.53,000, and the secondmortgage bonds of the same company, amounting to $3,500,all bearing 7 per cent interest, matured Dec. 1, 1883. Up toDec. 31, 1883, there had been paid of the first issue $146,000, ofthe second $141,000, and of the last $3,000, leaving still out-standing at that date, of the former issue $11,000. of the second$13,000, and of the last $500. There also matured, on Feb. 1,

1884, the fu-st mortgage 7 ])er cent 1 ondsof the Toledo Logans-port & Burlington Railway Coiiipimy, amounting to $510,500,for the paj'tnent of which provision has been made. Nofurther is;ue of these sectional bonds matures until Nov. 1,

188«.

The increase of earnings from freight was the result of tet-ter rates obtained during the year on this class of business, thetonnage and ton mileage having both decreased. The decreasein the tonnage was mainly owing to reduced crops of cerealsduring the past jear, and to the fact that a large amount ofbusiness which formerly p.i.ssed over the line to and from theNew York Lake Erie & Western Railway was transferred totlie Chicago & Atlantic Railway upon the opening of that lineto Chicago. "The ratio of expenses to earnings was 81 90-100per cent, as .against 8{> 27-100 per cent in 1882; but this wiispartly due to the policy adopted of charging to constructionaccount the cost of improvements and a<l(litions made sinceyour company assumed control of the property and whicli,under the administration of the receivers of the C. C. & I. C.Railway, had been charged to exp >nses."

The condition of the car equip uent has also been bett jred,

and additions made thereto. T.ie condition of the tr.ick,

ewpeclnlly on the Wnstem Divlfiion, I.

proved. The briilges and biiildinx' >• i • . .

There were laid additional Hide Irack.n to the cxtcni .. ,1,

the tratllc of the road that extensive iMitterincnts and adilitiontshouM \m promptly made upon the line ; and the sum of$(175.00(1 was cxpeiiiled U|M)n a connection with thel'ittsbiirg Ft.Wayne & Chicago Railway at Chl<-;igo, and in the extension ofsidings and other improvenientH. A further ex|M'n<liture forsimilar puriioses will have to U- made during the current \>-.\r,

in order to bring the property and its appurtenances toa higherstate of ellhiency. Under a contract authorized by the Ixwrd,and executed April 20. 1883, the company acquired the right toUSD the track of the Ind. Peru & Chic. Railway, Ix.twet'mIndianapolis and Kokomo, at a rental of (( per cent on one-halfof its appraised value, together with a proportionate share ofthe cost of maintaining the sani<', \y.\Mtt\ npim wheelage. " Bythe sjime contract, the Wabash Ht. Liuis & Pacific Railway-Company was granted the use of that portion of your roadlying l)etween Logansport and the .State line of Indiana andIllinois, upon the same tertris. This contract gives your com-pany, practically, an unbroken line between Chitiago Indian-apolis & Loui.sville, and enables it to better control and man-age its share of the traffic to and from those cities."The several projirietary companies now owning what, is

known as the Union Railway and Depot in Indianapolis enteredinto a new agreement, under the date of Sept. 20, 1883. for theconstruction of a new Union Passenprer Depot, and such addi-tional tracks and appurtenances as nu'ght be necessary, and alsofor the actiuisition of the Indi.anapolis Belt Railw.ay. •' Underthis agreement, the whole property thus acquired, includingthe Union Railway and Depot, is to be appraised, ami interestat the r.ate of 7 per cent ))er annum paid thereon in equ^shares by the companies that may use the same, the cost ofoperating and maintaining the proprty, including taxes, to bepaid by such companies on the basis of their use thereof. Theuse of these improved facilities by all the railway lines con-verging jit Indianapolis will effect a satisfactory and prompthandling of the large traffic concentrated at that point.

The balance available for divi-dends on the business of 1883 amounts to SJ^ per cent on thecapital stock. The rates for freights and fares charged by thecompany have been steadily decreased, as experience hasshown they must continue to do in the future to meet therequirements of competition and to encourage the develop-ment of traffic. The average rate charged on the whole sys-tem, from the Rio Grande to the Great Salt Lake per passen-rsr per mile was for 1881 3-06 cents, for 1883 2-93 cents, for 188373 cents. Had the average charged for the whole system in

1881 been maintained in 1883, the passenger receipts for thelatter year would have been $960,661 more than they actuallywere. The freight statistics not being fully compiled as yetfor the year, no comparison is made.

Connotton VaUey.—The plan for reorganization (the mainjiomts of which have already been published in the Chron-icle) has been finally agreed upon, with the following modi-fications : 1. Dividends on preferred stock are made cumula-tive. 3. Seven of the pref . stock directors and one of thecommon stock directors are to be citizens of Ohio. 3. Thetrustees are to fill any vacancy in their own number.

Indiana Bloomin^ton & Western.—Mr. Austin Corbin,President, says the road has been placed in a good workingcondition, without the increase of a dollar to its floating orfunded debt. There have been expended in imjirovenents fromnet earnings $900,000, and the road is in a Jcondition to workwith considerable activity. An understanding has been cometo with President Rutter, of Cleveland & IndianapoUs, whichwill enable the Indiana Bloomington & Western to ojjerate its850 miles of road in harmony with the Vanderbilt lines.

Lehigh Coal & Navigation—Nescinehoiiing Valley.—Theoption of extending the stock of the Nes(iuehoning Valley Rail-road Company, operated by the Lehigh Coal&Nav. Co. expiredMay 1. The lease gave the Lehigh Navigation Company theright to pay the par value of the stock on Sept. 1, and stock-holders were given the option to extend their stock upon aguarantee of 5 per cent. About 18,000 shares have been soextended.

Louisiana State.—A dispatch from New Orleans, April 36says it is regarded as certain the first amendment to the StateConstitution, fixing the rate of interest on the debt, has beencarried.

The Old Colony Railroad will issue 4}^ per cent bonds inexchange for the Framingham & Lowell bonds, and will giveone share of its stock for four shares of the preferred stock ofthe Lowell & Framingham, and one share for 20 shares of thecommon stock. On the basis of par for everything, the$500,000 Lowell & Framingham bonds will cost the" Old Colony$500,000 ; the $450,000 Lowell & Framingham preferred wiUcost $112,500; the $300,000 LoweU & Frammgham commonwai cost $15,000,—$627,500 for 26 miles of road, or $24,000, inround numbers, per mile, the purchase carrying with it anentrance into the second largest city in the State. TheLowell & Framingham RaUroad was opened in 1871, is 36miles long, from Lowell to Framingham, and has been leasedto the Boston Clinton Fitchburg & New Bedford Railroad andlatterly to the Old Colony Railroad.—The late sale of 3,000 shares of Old Colony stock was to

provide in pArt for the $400,000 Agricultural Branch 6s matur-ing in July, and inhei-ited as a legacy from the Boston ConcordFitchburg & New Bedford road at the time of consoUdation.These bonds will be redeemed.

Memphis & Little Bock.—At Little Rock, Ark., April 34,in tJie United States Chancery Court, a decree was renderedagainst the Memphis & Little Rock, compelling the railroadto issue certificates of deferred stock to all holders of secondmortgage bonds issued to holders of Arkansas bonds and forits floatmg debt, and to holders of income bonds of the com-pany subsisting February 15, 1879, who shall surrender thesecurities and file them in the Master's hands " within ninetydays from this date," and tlie Master shall receive any suchsecurities tendered him and cancel them.

Pittsburg Fort Wayne & Chicago—Pennsylvania.—Ac-cording to di-spatches from Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania R. R.is making arrangements to acquire the Pitts. Ft. W. & C. R. R.

absolutely. It has been decided to issue $33,000,000 of bonds,the jMiyment of the principal and interest of which will beguaranteed by the Penn.sylvania Railroad Company; to ex-change these bonds for the original .stock of the P. V. W. & Ch.companv, and so transfer the road to the Pennsylvania R. R.

Co., which will bo the only stockholder of the Fort W.iyne Co.after the bonds are all Issued. The matter will be definitely

settled at a meeting to be held on May 31. The bonds to beissued in exchange for stock will run until the year 2868, orndarly 1,000 years. They will bear interest at the rate of 7

per cent. Tliia is the same compt>nsation received by theoriginal stockholders under the lease, and it will be paid in thesame manner, viz., in quarterly instalments. Mr. Halev, theSecretary of the Ft. \v. Co., saj-s that while the PennsylvaniaR. R. Co. will own the Ft. W. road, the company will con-tinue to exist as at present. This is required by the charter.

About a year will he required to complete the transfer.

Port Royal.—In 1869 the Port Royal Railroad Companymade a mortgage on its property to secure 2.500 bonds of thepar value of f2.500,(X)0. Three years later the Georgia Hail-

road & Banking Company guarantee*! the payment of 500 of

these bonds. Both corporations defaulted on the intert?st m1873, and suit ha.s lx.'en brought for the recovery from theGeorgia Railroad & Banking Company of the face value of thecoupons, with interest from May, 1873. Judge Donahue, of

Now York, hat* fpnntotl nn atta(]hment ngninHt thn p'opnrtyof the defen<lant corporation on the ground that it is thacrentliro of a foreign Slat<<. It apiioars from the aflldavit thatafter the (h'orgia ('ompany hiul guaranteed the payment of

Toledo Clncin. & St Lonls.-The Boston Transcript says :

"The Tol. Cin. & St. L. is now in a fair way for piecemealreorganization. Every one of the five hundred bonils uponthe Iron division has gone into trust to purchase the property

at the foreclosure sale on the 28th of June, and 50 is refused

for any of these securities. This is a broad gauge (not standard)

line of 23 miles, and though bonded at $22,000 i>er mile, is be-

lieved to be able to earn the interest thereon independently of

the system. Of the $2,350,000 bonds in the Southeasterndivision of 185 miles ($13,000 per mile), about $1,450,000 havecome into the trust agreement to purcha.se the property at the

sale on the 28th. The time for coming into this agreement hasbeen extended to May 10, after which 1 per cent will be chargedfor entering the scheme. These bon<ls are now about 30 per

cent bid. and the road is regarded as capable of earning some-thing for its bondholders.

" The St. Louis division of 368 miles has $3,000,000 first-

mortgage bonds ($11,200 per mile) and cannot earn its operat-

ing exjienses at present. Mr. Austin Corbin will meet the

bondholders of this division next Tuesday in this city to for-

mulate a plan for reorganization. These bonds are worth in

the market not far from 13 per cent of their face value." Where the stock and the income bonds are coming in under

all the various foreclosures is not yet apparent, but it is nearlyimpossible, under Ohio laws, to wipe out a railroad stock

equity."

Trunk Line Pool.—The ,meeting of trunk line presidents

this week resulted in the abrogation of the rule by which thePool Commissioner wjis bound to order a re<luction of rates onthe demand of any one of the pool ro.ids. Erie and New YorkCentral representatives were said to have been most active in

getting the rule removed. The meeting resolved that future

complaints of cutting should be submitted to CommissionerFink, who should make examination and submit his conclu-

sions to the pool Executive Committee, which alone has powerto take action in such an emergency.

Wabash St Louis & Paclflc—A suit has been begun at

Peoria, III., against the Toledo Peoria & Warsaw, the ToledoPeoria & Western and the Wabash St. Louis & Pacific

railway companies, to compel the last company to issue certi-

ficates of stock in the Wabash St. Louis & Pacific Companyto the amount of $35,000, in exchange for $100,000 in the Tol-

edo Peoria & Warsaw road given by the city to aid in the

construction of the latter road. It has been held that the

lionds held by the city were valueless l^ecause the agreementstipulated that the b^ds should be transferred in thirty daysafter a specilied time, but legal publication of that fact wasnever made and the discovery of a vital document in the case

wasmade by accident.—i\^. Y. Tiibune.

Western North Carolina.—President A. B. Andrews of the

Western. North Carolina Railroad Company, on May 1 paid

$600,000 to the State under its contract for the purchase of the

State's interest in the line.

Union Paclflc—At Boston. Mass., April 29., in the United

States Circuit Court, Judge Lowell rendered a decision in the

suit of the United States against the Union Pacific Railroa<l

Company to recover $1,180,619, being 5 per cent of the net

earnings of the road for the five years preceding 1875, as

providetl by the contract. The court has now allowed the

defendant to plea<l in its favor the judgment of the Court of

Claims. The question now at issue is only one of costs.

—Omaha, Neb., .April .30.—General Manager Clark of the

Union Pacific Railroad, acting under instnictions from the

board of directors, has issued an order which goes into effect

to-morrow, reducing salaries as follows : Those over $8,600 per

annum, 15 per cent; lietween $1,000 and $:l.600, 12^ per cent;

less than $1,(H)0, 1 per cent. These reductions apply to all

employes except locomotive engineers and firemen.

The pjvst woRk has been oiio of iiauch interest to tlie specu-lators in cottoa for future <lelivery at tliis market. Thei-e ha<l

been noine dulness from the apprelieusion of free deliveries onMay eontract.s : Init on Suturday it was seen that Jfay noticeswere generally stoppoel in tlio interest of a le.ading s!iipi)er,

ami this crop advanced. The weather at the South, however,showed a great im|)roveaient, and the next crop closed lower.During Monday and Tuesday there was a shai'p decline, undersales to realize, in whicli many weak holders were "shakenout." There were no new features operating to put down prices,

but simply a withdrawal of buyera, and the market, being left

without support, developed the weaknes.s that naturally fol-

lowed an important advance. On Wednesday the market wasvariiible antl unsettled, showing no decided change. But onThursilay there was renewed activity and biuSyancy, onfavorable news from Liver|)ool, though part of the early ad-vance was lost in the later dealings. To-day the market wasvariable, closing slightly dearer, but as compared with last Fri-

day l.i(iiil7 points lower for this crop, 13 points lower forSeptember and C(ji: .S points lower for the next crop. Cotton onthe spot has been dull and quotations were reduced '^c. onMontlay. There baa been no change since, and the close onFriday was quiet at 11 -'^c. for middling u)>lands.The total sales for forward delivery for the week are G17,.500

bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week1,917 bales, including 2.~> for export, 1,.')72 for consumption,320 for speculation and— in transit. Of the above, 400 baleswere to arrive. The following are the official quotations foreach day of the past week.

The above figures indicate a decrease in the cotton in sight

to-night of 227,884 bales as compared with the same date of

1883, a decrease of 3,955 bales as compared vrith the corres-

ponding date of 1882 and a decrease of 176,636 bales as

compared with 1881.

At the Interior Towns the movement—that is the receipts

for the week and since Sept. 1, the shipments for the week, andthe stocks to-night, and the same items for the corresponding

period of 1882-83—is set out in detail in the following statement:

Keceipts from the Plantations.—The following table is

prepared for the pnrixise of indicating the actual movement eachweek from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are scmie-times misleading, as they are made up more largely one yearthan anotlier at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statementlike the following. In reply to frequent inquiries we will addthat these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts orSouthern consumjition; they are simply a statement of theweekly movement from the plantations of that pai't of the cropwhich finally reaches the market through the outports.

India Cotton Movement fkom all Ports. — We havere-arranged our India service so as to make our reports moredetailed and at the same time more accurate. We had foundit impossible to keep out of our figures, as cabled to us for theports other than Bombay, cargoes which proved only to beshipments from one India port to another. The plan nowfollowed relieves us from the danger of this inaccuracy andkeeps the totals correct. We first give the Bombay statementfor the week and year, bringing the figures down to May 1.

Overland Cotton Movement for April.—In our editorial

columns we give the statement of the overland movement for

Ai>ril.

New York Cotton Exchange.—The price of seats hasbeen further advanced. There was a sale this week at §3,500,

another at $3,600 and still anotlier at $3,700, and more is nowdcniandef'. Tl"e rules respecting contracts of print cloth are

neauly completed, and it will now rest with tlie Board of Mana-gers to sanction tiie addition of sales and purchases of this im-

Eortaut article to the regular business of the Exchange, whicli

as hitherto been solely confined to cotton. There can be nodoubt as to the Committee's recommendation being adopted.

Jdte Butts, Bagging, &c.—There has been a moderate de-

mand for bagging ^ince our last, i nd prices are steady. Theorders are for small parcels, but in t!ie aggregate considerable

stock is being worked off. For large lots the demand con-tinues absent, buyers not caring to lay in future supplies. Themarket closes with sellers quoting 9i^c. for 1% lbs., 10c. for

1% lbs., lO^^'c. for 2 lbs. and 11 lie. for standard grades. Buttshave been taken to some extent, and prices are steady. Forpaper grades the figures are 2i4@2i^c., and 3?s'@2%c. for bag-ging qualities. The transactions for the past month aggregate'2.5,010 bales spot an'l ti arrive at 2)4'@2^c., and the supplyhtre 2nd iiflo.it is 228,211 bales.

Comparative Port Receipts and Daily Crop Movement.—A comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate,aa the weeks in different years do not end on the same day ofthe month. We have consequently added to our other standingtables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader mayconstantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative

movement for tlie years named. The movement each monthsince September 1, 1883, has been as follows.

Flour at one timo showed more activity and ooniiidcrabl*firmness, in Byinpathy with a strong market for wheat, butlatterly tho trade has decreased materially and prices havebecome more or leas depressed. The better gr<vie8 of shippingbrands liave not been at all plentiful, and tho same ia true ofNo. 3 and superfine, but of most descriptions of flour tiie

supply has continued ample. To-day the market was dull andweak.

Wheat has been dull for export, and though at one timothere was a pretty liberal business on speculation, the transac-tions of this nature have latterly shown a falling off. Thoughthere have been occasional rallies, the general coarse of thomarket has been downward. Yesterday, owing to the numberof notices issued for delivery on May contracts, that optiondeclined 2}4<'- There has been less anxiety among the shortsboth here and at the West, and though the quotations herohave latterly shown rather more depression than tliose atChicago, there have been no new failures ; but the financial

irregularities in the case of one bankrupt are alleged to havoreached very grave proportions. Tho weather in the wheatregion is fine, and the foreign markets have within a few daysbecome depressed. To-day there was only a moderate businesseither for export or on speculation, and prices declined afraction.

Indian corn has been dull and declining, in sympathy withthe depression in wheat. There is less than the usual specula-tive inter3st in this market At this time of the year. Thegreat drawback is the dulness of the foreign trade. To-daythe market on the spot was steady but quiet; options weredull and slightly lower. No. 3 mixed closed at 6IJ4C. in ele-

vator, 611,^0. for May and June, 62;:£c. for July and 63%c. forAugust, showing a decline for the week of 1 to IJ^c.

Rye and barley have been very quiet. Oats have been onlymoderately active, and prices have followed other cerealsdownward. To-day there was a decline of J^c, attended withsmall transactions. No. 8 mixed closed at 38i^c. for May and37c. for June.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.Fkidat. p. M„ May 2, 1684.

Business was dull and featureless in the wholesale branchesof the trade the past week, but large quantities of seasonablegoods were doubtless placed in ihe channels of consumptionby retailers throughout the country. The market for staplecotton goods has subsided into a quiet condition, and little if

any improvement was developed in the demard for foreignfabrics, or domestic woolens, at first hands. The jobbingtrade was spasmodic and irregular, moderately active dayshaving alternated with others of conspicuous dulness, and themovement as a whole was light and disappointing. Therewas no great pressure upon the part of agents for domesticmanufacturers to force goods upon unwilling buyers, and thetone of the market was generally steady. Some large lines offoreign hosiery and gloves were however pressed to salethrough the auction rooms, with fairly satisfactory results.Do-iESTic Cotton Goods,—The exports of domestics from

this port for the week were 3,331 packages, including 1,055 toGreat Britain, 419 to Argentine Republic, 377 to Hayti, 370 toBritish East Indies, 236 to United States of Colombia, 228 to

China, 181 to Venezuela, 98 to Brazil, &c. There was a largebusiness in certain makes of cotton flannels for future deliv-ery, but other descriptions of cotton goods were comparativelyquitt in agents' hands and sluggish with jobbers. Prices ruledsteady on all the most desirable plain and cjlored cottons, butthe tfndency toward a general advance has sremingly beenchecked for the present, owing partly to the less buovant con-dition of the staple, but mainly because of the apathy displayedby buyers and their determination to await further develop-ments before beginning operations for the coming season.Fall River manufacturers have voted to curtail production, inthe event of other New England mills doing so, as suggest-ed by the Arkwriglit Club of Boston, but this decision has notimproved print cloths, which ruled quiet and easier, closing at3^c. for 64x64s and 3 1-lCc, for 56x603,. Prints, lawns, ging-hams, &c., were in light and irregular demand, but fairlysteady in price.

Domestic Woolen Goods.—There was a limited call forheavy caasimeres, worsteds and overcoatings by the clothingtrade, and considerable deliveries of these goods were made byagents on account of early orders. Light-weight cassimeresand worsteds were taken in moderate lots by cloth and dry-goods jobbers, but the demand was by no means active, andprices favored the buyers in some instances, Cloakings werein irregular demand, as were ladies' cloths, jersey cloths andstockinettes, but fair sales of popular makes were reported.Satinets continued in steady request, and a fairly active tradewas done in Kentucky jeans and doeskins. Worsteds and all-wool dress goods adapted to the present season ruled quiet infirst hands, but some good orders for cashmeres, beiges, &c,,in fall shades, were placed for future delivery. White flannelswere in fair request, but other descriptions ruled quiet, andbut little inquiry was made for blankets. Hosiery and knitunderwear were lightly dealt in, and carpets were quiet withagents.

Foreign Dry Goods,—The situation in the market for im-ported dry goods was unchanged. The demand at first handswas chiefly confined to a few specialties, and the jobbing tradewas not up to expectations. Prices are without quotablechange, but concessions on fancy fabrics were occasionallyoffered in order to stimulate their sale,

Iinportations of Dry Goods.The importations of dry goods at this port for the week

ending May 1 , 1884, and since January 1, and the same factsfor the corresponding periods of 1883, are as follows:
