Taking these figures as a guide, the present outlook for
winter wheat would be pronounced the worst in the record;
for even in 1881 the average start for the whole ceuntry
was given at 85 against 80 now. But such a conclusion
not by any means warranted, for, as already stated, the
main fact and almost the only one reflected by the repiort for

As to the condition of winter wheat, we have this week

before the rainfall in California, and cannot be taken as
establishing much, except that the crop is unusually backward.
The Department states, however, with regard
to the Western

The diminished cotton
which shows a further decrease this
year (after having sustained quite a heavy decrease in
1882), 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 larger 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 thatthe total of 427,961 bales this
year compares with 410,461 bales in 1881, and that Mobile's
receipts in that year were 28,318 bales, against only 12,985

LoNDOs, Satnrday, 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 months' bank bills has been
2% per cent. For short loans, owing to the approaching clos*

will be distributed towards the close of next week, a retam of
ease is looked forward to. It is qnite tme, indeed, that the
payment of the dividends has been largely anticipated, and that
as soon as it is made, important loans will have to be repaid to

below the average, and cannot therefore be an, indication of

The weather has continued very favorable, and it may be
safely concluded that the remarkably dry March has don«
much to repair the losses which seemed inevitable during the
earlier winter months.
The floods have quickly disappeared,
and spring sowing and planting have been carried on, especially daring the last two weeks, with great facility.
The cold,
frosty, dry weather of the last three or four weeks has kept
vegetation in check, and if the succeeding months of the season
should be equally propitious, satisfactory crops may be antic-

sell has been evinced.
Prices
have not varied, therefore, to any important extent. It may,
however, be expected that, during the next few weeks, thsre
will be an increased consumption of bread, as the severity of
the weather in March has produced a temporary scarcity.
The following figures .show the extent of the imports of cereal
produce into the United Kingdom during the first thirty
weeks of the season, compared with the corresponding period
in the three previous years

At a meeting held this week at Liverpool of the bondh(jlders
of the New York Pennsylvania & Ohio Railroad Company, a
resolution was passed in favor of confirming the lease to the
Erie Company. About 300 bondholders were present, and
there was only one dissentient.
Efforts are being made to compel the Government to adopt
sii-pence as a minimum charge for inland telegraphic messages. In the present condition of the finances the Government contend that they are unable to sacrifice any sources of
revenue, more especially as the results of the parcels post ei-
peiiment have yet to be ascertained. The minimum charge
for messages is now one shilling for twenty words, the address
being free; bnt It is reasonably contended that a shorter message
at six-pence would be a great boon to the public. The Government having been beaten by 68 votes to 50, the proposal is to

Railroad and Miscellaueons Stocks.— The stock market
has kept up its improvement as to tlie volume of business, and
prices are also in
week.
As
most instances considerably higher
usual,
when
a
new movement
is started,
tlian last
we
find
by a striking upward turn in some of
the prominent specialties, based on the expectation of large
profits to be realized from new combinations or other causes.
In the introductory remarks above, we refer to some of these
important matters now pending, and in those negotiations,
and in the statement of railroad earnings nn anotlier page,
will be found the principal matters of fact upon which the
that the advance
is
led
stock operations are now based.
As to the immediate phases of the market, the. weight of
interest appears to be on the bull side, and the bears, if there
are bears, make very little noise. Wliile many stocks have
been pushed up for the reasons above referred to, others, such
as the Vanderbilts, St. Paul, Lackawanna, &c,, have sj'mpathized with the general list, and have also advanced on the
promise of larger earnings.
To-day there was activity and confidence in the morning,
but an easier tone in the afternoon, and money was then
quoted on some loans as high as 7 per cent.

This company 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, howeyer, the reports are very meagre in details, and

" The principal extensions were completed since the beginning
of the year the Taylor extension of the M. K. & T. Ry., and
the Forrest City extension of the St. L. I. M. & S. Ry., during
the past spring; the Omaha extension of the Mo. Pac. R'y
during the past summer, and the N. O. division of the Texas
Pac. was only opened during the last three months of the year,
the crossing of the Atehafalaya on the N. O. division being
still operated by steamboat transfer pending completion of the
bridge. The companies did not, therefore, have the benefit of
their earnings during the entire year, while the securities were
issued at various times as required during construction, causing
the interest and expenses to accrue before the benefits of the
final completion could increase the earnings.
The companies
are practically without fioating debt, their promissory notes, aa

in the Vice-President's report, and which have been completed
since January Ist, are represented in the financial exhibit under
the head of Advances to roads under construction,' for which
securities are to be issued. The financial condition of the company should be considered satisfactory. It owes, practically,
no rioatirjg debt, and has ample cash resources to meet maturing

ings in 1882, including taxes, was 524 against 52-3 in 1881. That
the year 18S2 shows any increase ol earnings is due to our lines
west of the Missouri River. Tliere has been a large falling off of
gross earnings east of the Missouri Rivar, due somewhat to
increasing competition, but mainly to the bad crop of 1881, npt
only giving us less grain to carry but affecting more or less
bu.siness of all kinds.
In 1880 we carried into Chieaaro over
forty million bushels of corn ; in 18S1 twenty-six million ; and
This is of course exceptional, and
in 1882, only fifteen million.

"It is worthy of remark, that,
although the great tide of emigration from the east seemed to
be towards the New Northwest during the whole of the year
1882, our land sales in Nebraska, nevertheless, show an increase
of over 100,000 acres, at an average price of $i 09 per acre", aa

addition to this mileage, the company controls, and practically

them consists, up to the present time, in the traffic they give

That these

their own earnings, there can be no good reason to doubt.

" The shipments of coffee, indigo and rubber, and so also as

to sugar, except for the ye ir 1880, were in excess of any previous 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 has also been a decrease in the freight transported to 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 Eu^-ope
and the United States to these ports, amounting to 1,303 tons;

increase in our business with these ports on the West Coast."

Central Vermont. The Boston Advertiser of April 4
says "The title of the new railway corporation which is to
succeed the Vermont Central and the Vermont & Canadi 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 new company will lease the lines to the
present Central Vermont Co. to operate, thus availing of the
complete organization of the last-named company, and retaining possession of the several roads leased to that company."

N. T. Pcnn. & Ohio— N. T. Lake Eric & Western.— In London, April 6, at the meeting of the bondholders of the New

York Lake ISrie & Western Hailroad Company had not secured
a single proxy. Mr. Lewis's motion approving the lease was
carried with only four dissenting votes. The Erie will take
possession under this lease May 1. The terms of the contract provide that the New York Lake Erie & Western, as
le^ee, shall pay the minimum sum of $1,757,055 yearly (the net
earnings of 1882); the actual rental will be 32 per cent of all
!oHs earnings up to $6,000,000, and 50 per cent of all gross

above $6,000,000, until
the
whole rental is raised to 35 per cent, or until the gross earnings
are $7,20(1,000, and then 35 per cent of all earnings. But if
32 per cent of the gross earnings should ever be less than the
$1,757,0.55 to be paid yearly, then the deficit is to be made up
without interest out of the excess in any subsequent year. Out
of the reaial paid, the New York Pennsylvania & Ohio has
to pay the interest on the prior-lien bonds, the rents of its leased
lines and the expenses of maintaining its organization in Europe

years a payment of $2iib,000 a year to the car trust, which is a
payment partly on capital account, as by the operation of the.se
Saymects the cars will be paid for at the expiration of the trust.

Wabash St. Louis & Paelflc—The lease of the Wabash to
the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad in the interest
of Missouri Pacific was approved at an adjourned meeting of
the stockholders of the Wabash and the Iron Mountain companies held at St. Louis on Tuesday. This ratification is said
by officers of the Wabash Company to be simply formal. The
laws of Missouri require that the written consent of a majority
of the stockholders of both companies should be filed in the
Secretary of State's office before the lease can be legal, and
this will probably be obtained.
The lease is for 99 years, and
gives the Missouri Pacific practically the control of the Wabash
system for the net earnings.

Receipts prom the Plantations. The following table is
repared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are sometimes misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach
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.

BREADSTUFFS.
The comparative shipments
FRIDAY. P. M.. April 13, 1883.
Flour has been in rather better demand of late, and, in re-
sponse to some advance in wheat, firmer. The lower grades
have been held with the most confidence, the supply being still
moderate, and, though the better grades have continued plentiful, some reduction in the production at the West and South
has combined with the somewhat higher prices for wheat to
place them in a rather better position. To-day there was a
fair business at steady prices.
Wheat has been irregular in price,

sirable styles are fairly steady in prices.
Domestic "Woolbs Goods.— The woolen goods market opened
very quiet, but the arrival of a good many Weslem clothiers
gave a slight impulse to the demand for men's-wear woolens,
and a fair business in ca-ssimeres, worsteds and satinets was
done toward the close of the week. The demand for spring
clothing has not, however, realized expectations, and until this
branch of the trade becomes more active, it is more than probable that clothiers will continue to pursue the cautious policy
that has thns far characterized their operations in heavy
woolens. Kentucky jeans and doeskins were mostly qniet in
first hands, but a better demand for satinets was a feature of
the week's business. Dress goods were in irregular request, but
colored cashmeres and low grade colored alpacas were fairly
active, and prices have a stiffening tendency as regards fabrics
