THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
There is very little change to note in the situation this
week. The stock market continues depressed.
General
trade is not
quite so buoyant as it has been, but seems to
improving, railroad earnings are comparing very favor¬
ably with those of a year ago, money is easy not only at
home but abroad, and there is really little that is dis¬
couraging in the outlook. The great central and con¬
trolling fact is that the leaders’ “ pegs ” have been pulled

put away. Perhaps the moral
might be drawn that when operators in stocks learn to
have a judgment of their own and not follow like a

leaders, the stock market will right itself, the wheat and

“peg” left the Vanderbilt properties open to assault, and
the opportunity was not neglected.
On Wednesday the
report that one of the directors of the Central of New Jersey
had been a free seller of that stock, revived the story that
there was a large floating debt, and accordingly the prop¬
erty fell off sharply, but partially recovered on Thursday
on the announcement that an application would be made
to the Chancellor for permission to close the books for the
election.
A report on Thursday that the Colorado freight
pool had broken up also started a decline in the Wabashes
and other Southwesterns, and the market was kept
unsettled nearly all day.
But yesterday the Street
realized that the Colorado pool had nothing to do with
ths Southwestern Association, so there was a recovering
in those stocks and in the general market also.
Money has been in ample supply during the week, and
it promises to be abundant, for the tendency is very
strongly toward this centre from the interior, as the April
settlements are now over, and the funds which were sent
away for those purposes are coming back.
The Treasury
operations for the week, excluding the receipt of $2,000,000 gold from Philadelphia, have resulted in a loss, which
is a gain to the banks, of $7,639,997 71.

QUINCY'S NEW
ACQUISITIONS.
THE BURLINGTON

Chicago Burlington & Quincy report for the year
1881, in pamphlet form, has reached us this week. The
report of course contains much useful matter, and is an
interesting record of work accomplished ; but it cannot
be said that there is in it anything new or striking—any¬

Chicago from Kansas City, which the road secured, it
would have had to give to the Burlington k Quincy at
Viele, its northern terminus, in order to get the haul the
length of its road. It is not likely that it would
tender the business to the Hannibal & St. Joseph at La
Clede, because in that case its own line would get only the
haul over the extension from Kansas City to that point—in
other words, the extension proposed, instead of becoming a
feeder to itself, would have become a feeder to the Hannibal
k St. Joseph.
And as for the business bound to Kansas
City, there was no reason why the Burlington k Quincy
should not carry it over its own line, as now ; there was
nothing to force it to transfer it to the Burlington k

only fact we have attempted to enforce during the season,
and attempted to enforce in the article in question, was,
not that our crop would reach any certain figure, but
simply that the total supply from all sources would, with
the old stocks left over last October, provide for the consumption. This was the controlling circumstance in the
situation then, and the whole burden of the last half of the
article of the 14th of January.
Furthermore, that con¬

now equally true whether our

In Illinois and Iowa during the year 75% miles of single main
track have been laid with steel rails in place of iron, and 19
miles of steel rails have been laid in new second track, and 25%
miles in new side tracks.
The total number of miles of steel
rails in all tracks east of the Missouri River on December 31,
1881,
was
1,160.
This includes the whole main line in Illinois
and Iowa.
NEW BRANCHES.
branch roads have been built in Illinois, Iowa
Missouri, in whole or in part, as follows :
During the
and
year
1st. The Leon Mt. Ayr & Southwestern Railroad was extended from
Bethany to Albany, Missouri, 17 hi miles.
2d. The Clarinda College Springs & Southwestern Railroad, from
GlariuJa to the Missouri Slate line, 16 miles.
Valley Railroad have been built
as follows :
1st. From Hubbell east to Endicott, 23-6 miles.
2d. From Beatrice southwest to Wymote, 12*3 miles.
3d. From Wymore west to Endicott, 27’1 miles.
4th. From Nemaha west to Calvert, .9*6 miles.
5th. From Indianola west to Culbertson, 22d» miles.
6th. Fr<un Table Rock west to Wymore, 38'2 miles.
7tli. There was under construction December 31, 1881, the Denver
extension, from Culberison to Denver, 246 miles, of which 77 miles
were completed on that date, but not opened for business. It is expected
that the line will be opened to Denver by September 1, 1882.
8th. There was under consruettion on December 31, 1881. a part of
the eastern division of the Republican Valley Railroad, from Tecumseh
to Calvert, 22 miles.
“The average length of road operated in 1SS0 was 2,653 miles;
while in 1881 the average length was 2,822 miles. It will be
observed that, notwithstanding the increased mileage in 1881,
the net earnings
have decreased $429,917. The gross earnings,
however, show an increase of $832,103, and the increase of
expenses has been $1,262,020. Of this, about $400,000 may be
said to be due to the increase of business, leaving about
$850,000 of extraordinary increase in the cost of operation and
maintenance for the year, or about $305 per mile of road
operated. This is due to increased prices of labor and material,
and also largely to the snow blockade of February and March,
1881, and to the extraordinary floods in the Mississippi and
Missouri Rivers in both the spring and autumn.” * * *
‘‘Land sales have-not been so large as in previous years,
partly owing to the diminishing quantity of land which we have
had to offer.
Payments on account of land sold have been as
we
had
to
expect.
“It became apparent
in the latter part of the summer that
the interests of the
company would be promoted by an exten¬
sion of its line to the base of the
Rocky Mountains, at Denver,
and an addition to the
Republican Valley system, in the eastern

progressing, and it is expected to be
open for business by the 1st of July, 1882.
Allusion was made in the last report to negotiations, then
pending, for the control by this company of certain lines of road
connecting with our own. Among these was the Burlington
& Southwestern, the lease or purchase of which was authorized
at
the
stockholders’
meeting of September 23
This
road was built some years ago, from a point on our
Keokuk line, about twenty-five miles south of Burling¬
ton, to Laclede, on the line of the Hannibal & St. Joseph
Railroad, 109 miles west of the Mississippi River, at Quincy.
In 1880, the parties controlling this property had perfected
arrangements for reorganization under the name of the Chicago
Burlington & Kansas City Railroad Company, and to extend
it about 100 miles to Kansas City
; while, at the same time the
Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad Company was engaged in pro¬
moting the construction of a, new railroad from Qujncy to
Chicago. With the object of stopping for the present the con¬
struction of both these lines, and of strengthening our own
position relative to Kansas City and the Southwest, it seemed
to your directors desirable to get control of this Burlington &
Southwestern Railroad.
This has cow been practically
effected upon satisfactory terms, although no formal transfer
has yet taken place.
“Arrangements have also been perfected during the year for
the control by this company of the St. Joseph & Des* Moines
Railroad, a narrow-gauge railroad fifty miles in length, ex¬
tending from St. Joseph, Mo., to Albany, in the same State,
where connection is made with our Leon Mount Ayr and South¬
western branch.
Ultimately the gauge of the St. Joseph &
Des Moines Road will be changed, giving us a new through line
to St. Joseph.
We have also to report an agreement for the lease to this
company, subject to the approval of ourst' ckholders, of the St.
Louis Keokuk & Northwestern Road, extending from Mount
Pleasant, Iowa, on the north, through Keokuk Hannibal &
Louisiana, on the Mississippi River, to Dardenne, where it joins
the Wabash Railway, about 30 miles from St. Louis, using the
Wabash track thence into the city. We have bought most of

“The three last-named roaas and the Kansas City St. Joseph &,
Council Bluffs Road continue for the present to be operated as
separate organizations, and their earnings, expenses and mileage
are not included in this report.
The results of their opera'ion
would not materially affect the figures given herein.”
The report of the Land Commissioner shows that the net
result of sales in Iowa was 23,084 acres for $279,902, and in
Nebraska, 96,467 acies, for $440,856.

upon the
injunction asked for by E. C. Knight and others to restrain this
company from increasing its capital stock. The court denied
the application, and said that the Court in Chancery of the
Central of New Jersey.—Argument was
the United States Circuit Court at
Philadelphia,
Jersey had already issued a permanent injunction
restraining the directors from any further issue of stock with¬
out the consent of the Chancellor.
In the opinion of both
State of New
judges the stook could not legally be issued under the act of
the Legislature, but as the officers of the Jersey Central Com¬
pany made affidavit that they would not issue the stock, the
Court held that there was no* such immediate danger of this
issue as made a continuance of the injunction necessary. The
application of Mr. Knight was left open, however, to be con¬
sidered at any time that peril might arise.
Receiver Little said that the new stock was not likely to be
issued. He said also that his report was all ready and would be
submitted to the Chancellor before being filed. The report
would not be extensive, giving merely the valuation of the
property, amount of assets and liabilities, and a brief mention of
the condition of branch lines. E. C. Knight and other members
of the Gowen party applied to the Chancellor for an election
of directors on May 5, the regular day for the annual meeting,
The press dispatch says the Chancellor has granted an order per¬
mitting the directors of the Central Railroad of New Jersey to
take the necessary steps for an election of directors by the stock¬
holders of the company. The application was not contested by
the counsel for the railroad, but the order was made by a mu¬
tual agreement between counsel.
The following circular has been issued to the stockholders
“To the Stockholders of the Central Railroad Company of

believed that efforts have been made to secure a management
which would interfere with the friendly relations now existing
■between the company and the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad
Company and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, which
of all corporations are likely in the future to throw the great¬
est traffic upon the lines of the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
The Philadelphia & Reading Railroad connects with the Central
Railroad of New Jersey at four several points, and the former
■company is not the owner of any rival lines whatever, whereas
almost all of the other companies which have been spoken of
as likely to be identified with the management of the Central
Railroad Company of New Jersey are owners of rival or opposi¬
tion lines. The gross earnings derived in cash by the Central
Railroad Company of New Jersey from the interchange of local

The official circular says :
This result was attained notwithstanding the unusually short cotton
and tobacco crops along the entire lmes.in the- system, and iu spite of
“
new
rolling-stock in time to provide for the largely-increased business of the
roads during the fall months. New equipment is now, however, arriv¬
ing freely, the company having added to its equipment (nearly all
received since December 1) as follows: Say, 656 freight cars and 27
locomotives. The effect was at once shown in increased earnings.
“
In addition to the surplus from the earnings of tho company’s roads,
large profit has been derived from the sale of its Virginia Midland
rights, amounting to over $285,009, equivalent to seven per cent on the
capital stock, out of which was added to the usual quarterly dividend of
two per cent, paid February the 15th, an extra cash dividend for the
quarter of one per cent. In addition to the cash dividends, there haa
been issued to stockholders tho right to subscribe for six per cent
debenture bonds of tho Richmond <fc Danville Company in the same
amount as the amount of the capital stock held by each stockholder at
the price of 45 cents on the dollar.
The full subscription has been
taken, aud ten per cent already paid, fhe first semi-annual interest
payment of three per cent, say $120,000, being payable October 1 next.
The present surplus earnings would warrant a larger annual dividend
than eight per cent, but the policy of the company has been to expend
a large portion of the surplus earnings iu acquiring additional equip¬
ment and in improving the properties, as well as strengthening tha
sinking fund of the company.
“The control by this company of roads aggregating over two thousand
and fifty (2,050) miles is represented by a stock capital of but $1,000,000'*
A trust fund of shares, aggregating over 51 per cent of the capital, haq
been placed with the Central Trust Company to insure control under
the present management for a term of years. The stock so deposited
with the Central Trust Company is subject only to an agreement
touching vot ng power, and is liable to no claim or lieu whatever, nor
has the the said trust company loaned any money or credit on account
of this agreement or trust. The number of shares of the stock thus as
above left in the hands of the public for purchases aud sales in the mar¬
ket is less than 20,000, that is, less than $2,000,000. A statement

Friday, P, M.,
EPITOME.
April 14,1882.
The weather has been unseasonably cold during the past
^ej^—indeed, quite wintry, severe frosts having injured fruits
in middle latitudes, snow having fallen throughout the
Northern and Western States, doing some damage, it was re¬
ported, to winter wheat, and giving fresh impulse to the specu¬
lation for higher prices in breadstulfs. Trade is improving, but
has suffered during the week from bad weather, and the feeling
in commercial circles shows an absence of that buoyancy which
has so long been apparent. The conviction is gaining ground
that the full effects of the drought of last season upon crops,
and through them upon values and general business, are but
just beginning to be revealed.
Lard has shown marked advances during the past week, the
result of a general covering of the large “short” interest and
heavier speculative buyings for “ long ” account in Chicago.
Other provisions have sympathized, though trade has been
only moderate. Old mess pork on the spot was quoted to-day
at $17 and new at $18 ; April options quoted at $17 40@17 65 ;
May, $17 60@17 80 ; June, $17 75@$18. Bacon was strong at
10^c. for long and 10'Mc. for short clear. Lard was easier
early to-day, but closed better at ll,52^^11‘55c. for prime
Western on the spot; May options realized ll,52^@ll,55c ;
June, ll-57^@ll-65c.; July, ll-67^@ll-72;h2C.; August, 11*7736
-@ll*80c.; September, 11 •85@11,87/2C.; seller the year, lT40c.;

marked change. Rice has been steady, but Southern now sells
rather slowly, buyers being more inclined to purchase Rangoon
at the difference in cost.
Molasses has been firm and refining
stock very active on the basis of 30c. for 50-degrees test, to
arrive, cost and freight, or 40c. on the spot.
Spices have been
dull. Tea has been steady or strong for most kinds, but Japan
has declined. Foreign dried fruits have been quiet as a rule,
but large speculative transactions in Turkish prunes have
taken place at an advance to 7c., the movement being based on

The tone of the Liverpool market for spots and futures each day of the
Indian
has sold
corn
freely at steadily-advancing prices,
owing to the improved trade and the continued smallness of
the receipts.
Speculative manipulation, as usual, has not been
lacking to assist the rise. To-day the market was fairly active
at a further advance; No. 2 mixed for
May and June was held
at 84c. and for July there were sales at
83%c.
Rye has been quiet but steady. Barley has been dull. Oats
have been irregular, declining heavily at one
time, but latterly
taking an upward turn again in response to an excited market
in Chicago, where the supply is
reported very small. To-day
oats were fairly active and firm, with sales at
59%c. for April
57%c. for May and 56%c. for June.

BREADSTUFF S.
Friday, P. M.. April 14, 1882.
The flour market has been
very firm as a rule, the lower
grades especially, and some advance has taken
place, though
the export trade has
been but moderate and
mainly with the
Provinces, while the home demand has been fair. To-day trade
was in about the
same state with
prices, however, very firm.
%e flour and corn meal are dearer, and the advance in the
tatter increases the demand for low
grades of flour.
The wheat market has been
advancing of late, owing to cold,
unseasonable weather at the West.
Heavy rains have latterly
interfered with
seeding in many sections, and heavy snow¬
storms in Minnesota,
Dakota and in the Red River Valley, have
Added to the drawbacks. Floods
have also caused some damStill, while there is
likely to be a decrease in the springwheat yield in some
sections, it seems quite as certain that the
e
ciency will be made good elsewhere, though the season will
undoubtedly be later than was expected. Winter wheat has

gate, sales of dress goods, prints, ginghams, lawns, &c., having
been interrupted by the low temperature that prevailed during
the greater part of the week.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—-The exports of cotton goods for the
week ending April 11 were 2,597 packages, including 1,563 to
Great Britain, 396 to Argentine Republic, 252 to Brazil, 113 to
British North American Colonies, 60 to Mexico, 60 to Uruguay,
etc.
Brown cottons continued in fair demand and prices
remain firm because of the light supply on hand. Bleached
goods were slow of sale except fine shirtings and wide sheetings,
in which there was a steady business at unchanged prices.
Colored cottons were in steady request,, and fair deliveries of
dyed ducks, denims, tickings, corset jeans, etc., were made by
agents on account of back orders. Cheviots were generally
sluggish, but some large transactions in cottonades were
effected by means of price concessions. Print cloths were more
active and prices ruled firm at 3Me. plus % per cent for 64x64s,
and 3 ll-32@3%c. for 5ox60s. Prints were mostly quiet and
ginghams were in light demand.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—The demand for heavy clothkg
woolens was only moderate, but there was a good steady move¬
ment on account of back orders, and leading makes of
cassimeres, sui'ings, cheviots, worsted coatings, &c., are so
closely sold up that prices are firmly maintained. Overcoatings
were in fair request, and there was a steady call for re-assort¬
ments of both light and heavy cloakings, Spring cassimeres
and worsteds were mostly quiet, but a few large purchases were
stimulated by means of lower prices. Satinets have not shown
much animation, and there was a sluggish demand for Kentucky
jeans ; but the best makes are held at unchanged prices. Dress
flannels were fairly active, but other descriptions ruled quiet as
usual at this stage of the season. Toules, nuns’ veilings and-,
specialties in worsted dress goods met with moderate sales, and
there was a fair movement in carpets at steady prices.
Foreign Dry Goods.—The main feature C4f the market for
imported goods has been that fine fabrics of nearly all descrip¬
tions have been relatively more active than the lower grades.
Medium to fine silks were in fair demand and steady, and nuns
veilings, satines and specialties in fancy dress goods were
distributed with some freedom. Housekeeping and fronting
linens were in moderate request, and Hamburg embroideries,
laces, hosiery and gloves, met with fair sales at steady prices.
