depends upon the current and
prospective wheat supply and crop prospects, that every
succeeding report or suggestion bearing upon either
point finds believers. The truth is that just at this period
the surplus of last
year’s yield and the starting of the
new winter
wheat, are both of them problems of more or
less uncertainty, and so the market fluctuates at every
new rumor.
Now, however, each successive day is serv.
ing to clear up some of the doubt which has hitherto pre¬
given at 85 against 80 now. But such a conclusion
by any means warranted, for, as already stated, the
main fact and almost the only one reflected by the report for
this year is that the crop is unusually backward.
Com¬
paring with a year ago, the month of March affords a
striking contrast; then the weather was mild and forcing,
this season it has been cold and wintry.

April, 1882, the D ipartme it state! that in th3 We3t a
“condition of forwardness, luxuriant growth and good
“color characterize the status of the growing crop.”
At the same date now the plant had absolutely made no
growth, even where it was not covered with snow. The
well known facts should be added however, that since
the date of this report, California has had satisfactory
rains, and as may be seen in our breadstuffs report to-day,
the prospect is now favorable for a crop in that section
larger than the last one; while in the West the weather has
become much more seasonable, and under this change,
the plant is already showing that the injury done has at

we said on the 24th of February in our article, pages
205-6, on that subject. The conclusions reached by our
investigations at that time were (1) that farmers held at
that date more wheat than at the same date of 1881; (2)
that our surplus for export for the fiscal year ending
July 1, 1883, would equal the total for 1880-81, when it
was about 180 million bushels of wheat and flour; and (3)

There has been very little change in the general outlook clearly indicated to-day in our article on railroad earn¬

throughout the country during the past week. In this

It mods but a glance at this statement to see that in

Yet we find west have again resumed—as indeed appears only natural

the -ain of $014,397 and $494,130 respectively that was

selected five of the leading roads in that section, and give
below their earnings for four years past. The comparison,
is extended to 1880, in order to avoid any objections that
may exist to using 1881 alone on account of the bad

of the

earnings this year than in 1881. The diminished cotton
movement at Mobile, which shows a further decrease this
year (after having sustained quite a heavy decrease in
IS82), while all other ports show an increase, probably
accounts for the reduced earnings of the Mobile & Ohio ;
and as to Southern roads in general it may be said that
being so largely dependent upon this one class of traffic,
the fact that the cotton movement in 1883, though very
much heavier than in 1882, was only a trifle large# than
in 1881, would preclude any great progress in earnings
between the latter year and the present.
Below we give
our usual
table, showing the receipts of cotton at the
Southern outports this year and last.
We may preface
it with
the
remark that the total of 427,9G1 bales this
with 410,4G1 bales in 1SS1, and that Mobile’s

The gain in percentage on the sixty-seven
roads reporting is only about half as great as during
March, but considering that in many sections of the West,
Northwest, and Southwest, railroads suffered severely
in the early months from snows and floods, which seri¬
ously interrupted traffic operations, the exhibit is quite
satisfactory. There are not a few roads that fail to come
up to last year, but under the large increase now being
made the number is steadily diminishing.
The statement
would no doubt make a much larger aggregate increase
than it does were the trunk-lines embraced in it, as it is
known that they did a heavy business at paying rates

From
our own
correspondent.]
London, Saturday, March 31, 1883.
A moderate
supply of money has been seeking employment
during the week, and the demand having been rather limited,
the quotation for the best three month*’ bank bills has been
2% per cent. For short loans, owing to the approaching close
of the month, and of the financial year, there has been a good
demand, and the Bank rate—3 per cent—has been charged. A
Stock Exchange settlement has also exercised some influence
on the loan market; but as the
dividends on the public funds
will be distributed towards the close of next week, a return of
ease is looked forward to.
It is quite true, indeed, that the
payment of the dividends has been largely anticipated, and that
it is made, important loans will have to be repaid to
the Bank of England; but three per cent is a rate of discount
below the average, and cannot therefore be an indication of
stringency.
The present quotations for money seem likely to be main¬
tained, and there appears to be no probability of change iu
either direction. The state of the New York money market, as
well as of the exchange, continues to produce anxiety amongst
those who are specially interested in money, and this at present
is the only disturbing element.
It is not expected that the
trade demand during the spring and summer months will show
any increased proportions, so that should there be no important
inquiry for gold on American account, a quiet and easy market
as soon as
should be the result.
The
following are the quotations for money and the interest
allowed by the discount houses to-day and same day of the
previous five weeks :

State and city
England return for this week shows changes
generally expected. The circulation of notes
has been augmented to the extent of £328,865, while the stock
of bullion shows a falling off of £301,Sol. The reduction in the
total reserve amounts therefore to £630,716, the proportion of
reserve to liabilities being 38% per cent, against 40% per cent
last week.
The larger demand for loans is indicated by the
fact that the total of “other securities” has been increased by
£1,212,651, it being now £25,910,332. The Treasury balance

REPORTS.

S3
.Missouri Pacific and the “ Southwestern System” of Rail¬
ways.
{For the year ending December 31, 18S2.)
has just issued an annual report, in pamphlet
form, for the year 1882. It is a change in policy to issue such
a report, and all persons interested in the stocks and bonds of
the several companies embraced in the Southwestern System,
will certainly be gratified at this new departure. In many
respects, however, the reports are very meagre in details, and
particularly as to the large items in the assets of stocks
and bonds of other companies held aud owned.
The
report of Mr. Jay Gould, President, says of the Missouri
Pacific and St. Louis & Iron Mountain roads that, “as compared
with 1881, the gross earnings of the year show an increase of
$1,551,118, and a decrease of $262,707 in operating expenses,
making a net increase of $1,813,826, on an additional length of
368 miles of railway.
The net profits of the company were as

General
expenditure of sle .der resources on the part of the
Manager Mr. Kimball), the property was saved from
complete loss. H >w great the danger of that loss was is best
shown in th*' traffic figures of the
year 1877.
In that year,
operating 210 mib s of r<>ad, the gross earnings of the
company
were only $488,000, or less than
$2,000 per mile. The revival
of
no
to
business in 1879 at last made it clear that the
property was
longer in danger of proving a total loss. It then remained
secure or develop new business. ' That which
already existed
was not
enough.
This could be done in either
or
both of two
The road might be extended inlo new lumber districts
through the construction of branch r ads or feeders, or renewed
effort could be made to secure for it a
portion at least of the
shipments from Lake point,8. The animat of the last was
enormous.”
*
*
*
“Carefully m;mired efforts are now
being made to secure a share of the lumber shipments from
Muskegon and Grand Haven to interior points ; and in conse¬
quence of the measures a ready taken, these shipments have
been increased from ten ini I i ion feet in 1877 to
over seventytwo million in 1882. Meanwhile it is
proper further to say that
all improvement hereaf er to be seen in
the value of the
Chicago & West Michigan road must, in theg>pinion of your
directors, avise from an increase in its earnings; it cannot
reasonably be expected to c >m- from any decrease in the cost of
operation, or in the outlay for renewals. The
& West
Michigan is not a cheap roa l to operate.” * *Chicago
*
“The pro¬
spective value of tme property is, therefore, a
simple question of
gross earning'*. As the gross earnings
per mile inc ease, the per¬
centage of net earnings should also increase. On
$2,00* per mile, for instance, there would, for theearnings of
Chicago &
West Michigwi r ad, bs no
margin of profit at all. The whole
would be coLsurtied in
operating expenses. From gross earn¬
ings of $3,500 per mile, skilful' management and
severe
economy might exact twenty per cent of net profit.

The annual report for 18S2 states that “the
increase in the
business and ea. nings of the road was made
possible by the
replacements and renewals of the track, and the additional
rolling stock we have been able to secure. The renewal* of
track by steel rail up to Dec. 31,
1881, amounted to seventyseven (77) miles, leaving
seventy-seven (77) miles of old iron to
be relaid wirh steei.
Of this we have only been able
during the
current year to provide for
relaying thirty-eight (38) miles,
leaving about thirty-nine (39) miles yet to be provided for.” * *
An arrangement has been
agreed upon, which will doubtless
be consummated, by which our
company acquires a lea>e of
the Minneapolis <Sz Duiutli RR
extending 4'roni White Bear
Junction to East. Minneapolis, a distance of tw-ive (12

Panama Railroad Company.
(For the year ending December %1,1882.)
The annual report says : “ The results of our operations for
the year 1NS2 show an increase both in freight and passenger
traffic that is quite satisfactory. Our operating expenses, how¬
ever,
have been increased in
proportion to tli^ freight handled
and bv the increase in the price of labor fully 25 per cent. The
outlook for tlie present year is encouraging.
The operations
of the (’ompagnie Universelle du Canal Interoceanique have
given
us
a
large increase in both local freight,
and
during the past year, while for January and
February of this year we have transported for that company
more
than double the amount of freight and passengers that
we did during the same months of 1S82.”
*

l
“ The shipments of colfee, indigo and rubber, and so also as
to sugar, except for the yeir 1880, were in excess of any pre¬
vious year.
The falling off in shipments of bark, cotton and
cocoa is due to the troubles between the republics on the west
coast of South America, which has greatly reduced our business
from that source. Their industrial condition is deplorable at
present. There lias also been a decrease in the freight trans¬
ported fo Central America of 1,303 tons, but the exports from
these republics via the Isthmus route exceed those of 1881 by
3,142 tons. Freight from South Pacific ports has decreased,
being 2,042 tons less than in 1881 and 9,180 tons bel >w that of
1880.
There has been a slight increase of freight from Europe
and the United States to these ports, amounting to 1,303 tons;
but from the present outlook we need not expect any immediate
increase in our business with these ports on the West Coast.”

Boston Advertiser of April 4
“The title of the new railway corporation which is to
succeed the Vermont Central and the Vermont & Canada is to be
the Consolidated Railroad Co. of Vermont.
Under the decree
of foreclosure it will probably acquire title to the property one
week from to-day, and will no doubt be organized at once. It
is probable that the ne«v company will lease tlie lines to the
present Central*Vermont Co. to operate, thus availing of the
complete organization of the last-named company, and retain¬
ing possession of the several roads leased to that company.”
Cincinnati Indianapolis St. Louis & Chicago—There was
a mistake made in regard to the recent item published regard¬
ing this company, that the directors decided to make a dividend
because there was a credit to the profit and loss account of
$32,000. It should have read $320,000.
Cincinnati WaslUngton & BaUiftiore—Marietta & Cin¬
cinnati.—A circular from Gen. Orland Smith, President of this
company, dated Cincinnati, says: “The organization of the
Cincinnati Washington & Baltimore Railroad Co. has been
completed by its acceptance of the deed conveying to.it the
railroad and other property of the Marietta & Cincinnati Rail¬
road Co. as reorganized. The liabilities of the purchasing

is intended to reduce the rate of interest from 7 to 4 per cent.

Plantations.—The
following table is
repared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. • Receipts at the outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made up more largely one
year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reaeh
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following.
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

Hitherto we have found it
impossible to keep
out of our figures, as cabled to us for the

ports other than
which proved only to be shipments from one
India port to another. The plan we have now adopted, as we
have reason to believe, will relieve us from the
danger of this
inaccuracy and keep the totals correct.

May, $120% for June and $1 19@$1 20 for July.
Indian com has been fairly active at some advance,- mainly
owing to a firmer wheat market. It is gathered from the
report of the Agricultaral Bureau, however, that the stock in
first hands in the country is only 409,000,000 bushels, a circum¬
stance which holders interpret favorably, in view of the liberal
consumption and of the fact that no further supply can be
obtained till next winter. The receipts at Chicago have been
moderate, and there has been, it is stated, no little covering
done by shorts there as well as here. To-day there was a
decline of J£(Sle early in the session, but prices rallied later
and sales were made before the close at some advance. No. 2

done toward the close of the
Department’s Report.—The
Department of
Agriculture reports the condition of the wiuter grain crop on
April 1 over its entire breadth. In Michigan and other northern
territory wheat was still covered with snow.
In the Ohio
Valley winter protection had been partial for a term, locally
varying from three to ten weeks, after which loss from freez¬
ing* was quite general. The average depreciation is greater in
the upper part of the Ohio Valley and in Kansas than else¬
where.
East of the Aileghanies the condition is good in
the northern belt, declining slightly in lower latitudes.
It is
not up to the average in any part of the South.
The average
for the crop is 80.
Last April it was 104; in 1881, 85. The
most observing reporters have examined the roots, and in
many cases found them health}7, while the plants are brown.
There is good reason for believing that the real condition of
wheat is, therefore, less unpromising than it seems.
The averages'of condition in the States of large production
arr: New York, 101; Pennsylvania, 95; .Ohio, 70;
Kentucky, 80;
Indiana, 75; Michigan, 93; Illinois, SO; Missouri, 83; Kansas,
70; California, 62. The average of winter wheat varies little
from last year’s breadth.
The returns indicate an increase of
1 per cent:—Illinois returns 2 per cent increase; Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and Missouri, 1 per cent decrease; California, 10 per
cent increase.
A slight decrease appears in the Gulf States.
The acreage of winter rye is 99 per cent of last year’s breadth.
'Average condition, 94.
Agricultural
The Crop in California.—The Daily Examiner of SanFrancisco, under date of April 4, states: “ A renewed rainfall
in various c mnties of the State raise sanguine hopes of a much
larger crop of grain than is harvested in average seasons.”
The San Francisco Journal of Commerce of April 5 says:
“The event of the week was the rain storm, which, beginning
on Easter
Sunday night, c mtinued with m >re or less violence
over the coast until
Saturday morning.
The total rainfall in
San Francisco was about 3 inches—the average over the State
3j.2 inches—in the San Joaquin Valley and the south 2%
inches. It has revived the hopes of the fanners and traders all
over the State, and we now
confidently predict seventy million
bushels of wheat and eleven million bushels of barley.”
In another column, on the same day, the same paper states :
The acreage of grain is greater in California this season than
ever before, and the
prospects for a corresponding increase in
the harvest are very battering.”

The
demand for
spring
clothing has not, however, realized expectations, and until this
brauch of the trade becomes
active, it is

Business has been
the
sluggish in all the wholesale branches of
dry goods trade during the past week, owing in a measure
to the
backwardness of the season, which
has unfavorably
influenced the demand for consumption.
The demand for
foreign and domestic goods at first hands was strictly mod¬
erate, and while actual wants were supplied without hesitancy,
there was not the least disposition on the part of jobbers to
anticipate future requirements. The jobbing trade was most)
ly quiet, in spite of efforts made by some of the leading firm-
to stimulate business
atively low figures.
