It Is not powible yet to state exactly the amount of the expenditure, for we have no return of the actual charge for the debt, of the naval defense outlay, and of the other consolidated fund charges. Usually, however, they are estimated so cloeely that we may practically conclude the actual results were the same as the estimates. If so, they amounted to £38,768,000, and the total expenditure was a little over 87^ millions sterling, giving an actual surplus of somewhat under 1^ million sterling. Compared with the budget estimates, there is only a small increase in the expenditure; but the revenue exceeds the estimates by nearly £1,880,000. In the first half of the year the growth of the receipts was very great; it was much less in the second half, owing to the Baring crisis; yet the results are upon the whole very satisfactory, especially the excise and customs revenue shows that the expenditure of the working classes has been on an extraordinary 'i.-rn.

Of course it is too early yet to form any opinion but the probability is that in the United ; Kingdom, France, Italy, and Spain, the harvest will be late, if not bad, and consequently that the demand will be larger than usual. In the trade itself it is expected that prices will continue to rise. Last week the Gazette average price of wheat in the leading markets of England and Wales was 35-3 per quarter, a rise compared with the corresponding week of last year of 5*6 per quarter, or not far short of 18J^ per cent. More serious, so far as the general economic condition of this country is concerned, is the backward state of the green crops and more particularly of grass. In many districts it is reported that cattle are being hurried to market owing to the scarcity of food. Unless there is an early improvement in the weather, the position of our farmers, already far from satisfactory, will become still worse. The rates for money have been ^ as follows: [VOU L>1.

The outlook for the wheat crop remains excellent in the Southwestern States, and this week the price had another bull point in the report that the French Government was consider•ering the (juestion of repealing the duties this year, owing to the scarcity of wheat in France. As Texas and Southern Kansas can harvest in June and July, it is to be presumed the farmers would press forward their wheat as early as possible to get the beneiit of the high prices, and this ought to mean good freights on the Southwestern roads. The falhng off in activity of the iron trade is not regarded as a good indication for general business, and some roads in the Lake Superior region report a heavy decline in iron ore freights. It is possible that with the opening of navigation and spring business the Western city booms will take on new life, and iron will again be in large demand.

" While it is not to be expected that the business of the company will continue to increase in the future as rapidly as in the past, the almost universal prosperity and rapid growth of the local companies organized to use the Thomson-Houston system is a guaranty of tlie permanent prosperity of its business. In view of the present widespread depression of all business interests, it is a source of congratulation that the orders received by your company for the last 90 days are considerably in excess of those for the same period for any previous year." The report says that the entire sum of all stocks of electric lighting and railway companies held by this company is less than 2 per cent of its assets, and the first mortgage bonds of such companies are less than 10 per cent of its assets. The liabilities do not include $500,000 Thomson-Houston collateral trust bonds issued in 1889 as an accomodation to the Manhattan Electric Company of New York, since the ThomsonHouston Company is amply secured and only gave the use of its name.

Missouri Kansas & Texas.- The enabling act in favor of the Missouri Kansas & Texas Railway Company, recently passed by the Legislature of Texas, authorizing the reorganization of the several corporations in that State into one new corporation under the general laws, has been signed by Gov. Hogg. The enabling act is an important measure, and will relieve the Missouri Kansas & Texas Road of the litigation to which it has for a long time been subjected under the laws of the State. This law strictly forbids the joint ownership or operation of parallel or competing lines, and the statute, as construed by the Texas Supreme Court, applies to most of the railroad lines traversing its territory. The policy of the State is also to prevent the operation of Texas lines by any foreign corporation, and in fact to treat every company that owns a mile of road in the State as a Texas corporation, which is compelled to have its general offices therein and its officers residents. In August, 1870, the Texas Legislature passed a special act authorizing the Missouri Kansas & Texas to build lines in Texas, to extend its lines to the Red River and Rio Grande, and also to purchase or sell, lease, merge stocks, and unite or consolidate with connecting roads. Pursuant to that statute the M. K. & T. directly and indirectly acquired title to some 800 miles of road in Texas, and also leased the International & Great Northern Road. The last-named corporation also leased the Galveston Houston Henderson, a most important connec- & tion. Kiemari's on Thursday said of the recent litigations " In 1875 laws began to be passed under the Texas Constitution, taking away many of the various privileges granted the roads is?'??! under statutes as that of 1870.

On Thursday a steadier report from Liverpool and smaller receipts at Bombay greatly reduced the oflferings on sale, and a moderate demand to cover contracts was sufficient to cause a slight advance; but as prices improved business was brought almost to a stand-still. To-day the market opened easier and further declined, under weak accounts from LiverEool, a full interior movement and good weather at the South, ut a demand to cover contracts, with a little manipulation, caused a partial recovery. The close was quiet, however, cotton on the spot was dull, and prices were easier and unsettled but there was no quotable decline, and the close was nearly nominal at 8 15-f6c. for middling uplands total sales for forward delivery for the week are 897,100 The For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week ba1^s. for export, 1,598 for consumption, 1,598 bales, including for speculation, and in transit. Of the above bales were to arrive. The following are the official quotations for each day of the past week April 11 to April 17. —— i cxtn CDUt « I The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market was more active, but at drooping prices, for the lirst half of the week under review. The report in the last Chronicle of the imfuvorable state of trade in Manchester was the chief depressing influence on Saturday. A decline at Liverpool and war-like rumors from the Continent were the principal elements of weakness on Monday. The large crop movement and very favorable weather throughout the South contributed actively to the decline on Tuesday. There was a steadier opening on Wednesday, due to dearer consols at London and more peaceful rumors from the Continent, but a pressure to sell (many of the " bulls" having become discouraged Jand "un- Ordinary 1 11,110 8,000 None. 7,400 ..

M., April closes the week A 17, 1891. firmly imder the Impression that the long-waited-for change in the weather has come at last. This is sufficient to impart a general air of The retail branch is the cheerfulness to all concerned. only one which has so far come fairly under the influence of the bright, warm days experienced this week, and in it a welcome activity has been easily noticeable. LocaUy, at least, this was so; but reports from leading near-by and outlying reLate in thei tailers were also more encouraging than of late. week jobbers were under the belief that they had come in for their first share of the improvement, as there were more buyers in evidence and a greater diversity in the demand than for some time past. Agents and commission houses will havo t» wait a little longer, however, before they find much increase in the business doing at first hands. During the past week there was little or no change in the character of trade doing with them, personal selections by package buyers continuing In light, and orders by mail and wire below an average. other respects also there was practically no alteration. Agents, with one exception referred to later on have made no new prices, and in that exception it was simply making public prices at which business Cad been doing for some time past. There was continued irregularity, it is true, in many directions, but desirable styles of standard goods were not affected. Agents and others report collections fair, but not 80 regular as could be desired, and some have noted a rather disagreeable increase in the number of cancellations during the week, woolen goods apparently being most affected in Considerable comfort was, however, drawn this respect. from the tenor of the last Agricultural Bureau report, and the prospect of an unusually large winter-wheat crop indicated by it. Even with a large yield good prices seem assured, and the combination is considered very promising for an active fall trade in dry goods. Domestic Cotton Goods.—The exports of cotton goods from this port for the week ending April 14, were 8,554 packages, valued at $405,020, their destination being to the points specified in the table below: & 1891.

This departure is generally considered to have removed a disturbing factor from the print situation. Ginghams and woven wash fabrics were steady throughout the week, with a quiet movement. The market for printing cloths, after ruling dull but steady, has given way slightly, the closing quotations being 3c. less one per cent for 64x64's and 2 9-16c. for 55x60's. — 11 1890. AprU 1889.

The spot demand from day to day has never risen above retail dimensions, and duplicating orders for fall goods have been disappointingly small. Agents also reported an increase in the number of cancellations, but during a period of prolonged dulness this is always looked for. The demand for men's wear woolens, such as it was, ran almost entirely upon heavy piece-dyed woolens and worsteds, union, cotton warp caasimeres and low and medium all wool grades, there being nothing done in light weight woolens, worsteds or cassi meres. There was no demand from the clothing trade for overcoatings and cloakings. Stockinets and jersey cloths were neglected. Fine doeskins were in quiet re-order request, but Kentucky jeans and satinets had a hand-to-mouth call only. Agents in all branches report unchanged prices, but there are evidences of weakness in certain low grade goods. Flannels were slow, as usual at this time of the year, and the distribution of blankets was mainly confined to specialties. — FoEEiQN Det Goods. Importers have experienced something of a revival in business this week, as under the influence of fine weather there was a perceptible increase in the demand for specialties. Staple goods were not so much af fected, but were moving better than a week ago. Prices are reported generally firm, but there is inside evidence to show that buyers in many instances found sellers pretty easy to deal with. Importations of Drv Goods.
