This has been another dull week with no special sensa¬

business is
dragging, stocks of goois in first hands are
accumulating, gc-1 i i3 flowing out like a river, and about
the only straws the street has had to tickle its fancies with,
have hern the hourly settlement and resettlement of the
Union Pacific difficulty with the Caicago Buibngton &
Qiincy, and the reorganization of the Trunk line po'fi
fibowirg a similar vacillating perversity. These two un¬
certainties are being talked about and made much of,
every one professing to believe that with them out of the
wav, stocks would boom, though every one at the same time
knows that they are mere trifles on the surface, possessing
very little real healing power, whatever the event be.
This by no means indicates that stock values are high.
As now
ruling, the prices of the better class of stocks cer¬
tainly 6eem to be low. There are others for which perhaps
fio much cannot be
said, especially under the Elevated Railroad decision of this week, which very properly widens the
application of the good old wholesome rule that no agent
can act for both
parties to a contract. This appears to be

affect reorganizations and leases where the same party ha3

because other tin boxes hold certificates

The
question which cannot

directors can bind stockholders.
Tuis of course is a point
that has many sides to it, differing with each varying fact.
But the practice grown so common during late years of
directors shoving in bonds ahead of stock, or effecting leases
and assuming rentals which prove unprofitable, has done
much to discourage investments in share property.
Still
we admit that these
latter are powers the possession of
which may be necessary for a progressive vitality in the
organization; but even if so, it would be well to know how
far the practice is Bgal and what kind of an endorsement
of stockholders is sufficient; also, if they have any voice
in the matter, whether a majority vote can foreclose the
minority.
The very large and continuing gold exports have
probably contributed more than any other one thing to
produce the renewed dullness now prevailing, not only in
Wall Street, but in trade circles as well.

Experience shows that Congress does not
pass ilie laws that are necessary, or even a
large proportion of tlnm. We say this, not in a spirit of
fault-finding and criticism, but in recognition of an
undeniable fact.
The statement does not apply peculiarly
to the present Congress any further than this : that the
incapacity to legislate ha3 been growing steadily more
pronounced for many years, and the chances are that the
next Congress will be less capable than i9 the present.
Nor is the difficulty peculiar to Congress.
As a result of
very different causes, legislation has come to almost as
complete a stand in the British Parliament as it has in the
American CoDgress.
“The one thing Parliament cannot
do,” it was recently said, with wit because with truth,
is
legislate.” There is a certain similarity in the problems
presented for the solution of each country, and yet they
are not sufficiently alike to make the experiments and the
experience of the one useful in the other.
It is most necessary for the present and future well¬
being of the nation that the problem be faced, attacked
and solved.
No help, however, can be obtained from
political recrimination. The evil does not come from the
ascendancy of one party or the other, but from a fault
in the Bystem.

Chicago & West Michigan Railway.
(For the year ending Dec. 81, 1883.)
The annual report* states that during the year 1883 there waa
charged for extension from West Troy to Baldwin, and other
construction items, $210,361, and for equipment, $105,033, the
funds for which have been provided from the sale of the 5 par
cent bonds of the company.
“
The unusually large percentage of operating expenses for
the year is due to damage to track and bridges (including the
loss of the long bridge at Grand Rapids) caused by severe
storms in Michigan.
It should be borne in mind, however, as
stated in last report, that so long as the gross earnings continue
at their present low rate of $3,755 per mile, that no large
increase can be expected in net earnings, and that the percent¬
of operating expenses will therefore be large.

ency towards consolidation of telephone companies noticed in
our last report lias continued, and is for the most part in the
interest of economical and covenient handling of the business.
The connection of many towns together, causing large terri¬
tories to assume the character of great telephone exchanges,
made it of importance to bring as large areas as possible under
one management, to ensure simple and convenient arrange¬
ments for furnishing rapid inter-communication. As methods
are devised for making the telephone commercially useful over
long lines, the advantages of this centralization of manage¬
ment will be still more apparent, as well as the importance to
the public of having the business done in large territories under
one responsible bead, with far-reaching connections throughout
the whole country. To make this service of the highest value
to the people will be complicated enough under one control.”

GENERAL INVESTMENT NEWS.
Anthracite Coal Companies.—The anthracite coal
compa¬
nies have agreed to continue for the rest of the present year
the policy of restricting production. The supply will be
regu¬
lated to the demand by stopping work at the mines whenever
•necessary.
No specific times for suspending production have
been fixed beyond May, but it is agreed that the
periods of
restriction shall be a full week and three days alternately. The
first suspension shall be May 5 to 10 inclusive and then
May 23,
24 and 25. The limit of restriction for May will be nine
days. A
new and important feature of the agreement is to leave
the
decision as to future restriction to the companies
having the
majority of tonnage, instead of giving to each company an
equal voice. The vote under the present arrangement will be
according to the amount of coal mined by the companies. It
will be possible now for two companies to order a
restriction.
The Philadelphia & Reading, including Central of New
Jersey,
controls nearly one-half of the anthracite coal
business, and by
a combination with the Lackawanna or
the Delaware & Hudson
Canal Company can determine the
policy of the trade, accord¬
ing to the new agreement, during the rest of the year.

Alabama Great Southern
Railway.—The report for 1883
shows that the gross earnings of the line were
$1,058,768, as
compared with $856,757 in 1882, showing an increase of
$202,005. The receipts per mile per annum in 1883 were

cent.
The directors regret that the
expenses
amounted to 71*14 per cent, as against 70-08 operating
in 1882. It is hoped
that this figure may be
considerably reduced in the current
year. Of the 25,000 additional “A’’ preference shares, the
issue of which was authorized in
1883, 6,000 were placed during
the year. The accounts of the American
corporation show a
balance to the credit of net revenue of

or £40,798
4s. 8d., which includes the sum of
$2,959, or £608 18s. 9d.,
brought forward on the 31st of December, 1882. After
viding for the dividend on the “ A” preference shares andpro¬
for
the payment of the
subsidy to the Alabama Texas Company
to the 31st of
December, 1883, there remains a balance of
£4,831 17s., which the directors recommend should be

the prospect for a settlement is

is believed, will be
speedily agreed upon, the Chicago Burling¬

two points that could be named which
have a wider and more

2. What contracts
may trustees and directors make between
themselves as individuals and the

Judge Van Brunt, in considering the question whether the
Metropoli¬
tan r.irectors had the power to
modify the original leases and tripartite
agreement of May 20, 1379, without the consent of the
stockholders,
says that lie is little aided in his decision by
any of the authorities.'in

agreements on the ground that they were

Toledo Cincinnati & St. Louis.—The proxy committees
representing the main line and St. Louis divisions finally
agreed upon a plan of reorganization. It recommends the or¬
ganization of a new company and the conversion of the nar¬
row into a standard gauge track.
The financial plan is sub¬
stantially as follows : The first mortgage will be for $0,750,000
($15,000 per mile), the bonds to run for forty years and bear 0
per cent interest. The second mortgage will be for $7,000,000,
to run fifty years, and bear interest at 4 per cent from
January 1, 1888, to January 1, 1893, and 6 per cent there¬
after, said bonds and mortgage to contain a provision
that the said mortgage shall
not be foreclosed be¬
fore 1890, unless in case of default in the payment
of interest on the first mortgage bonds, and in the
event of such default the principal and interest of the second
mortgage bonds shall at once, and by virtue of such default,
become due and payable. Holders of first mortgage bonds of
the Toledo Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad Company, who
become parties to this agreement and .pay $10 for every bond
of $1,000 held, shall receive new second mortgage bonds to an
amount equal to the amount of such first mortgage bonds held
by them, including interest thereon, to be computed front last
payment to the 1st day of January, 1888, at 6 per cent per
annum.
Holders of first mortgage bonds of the Toledo Delphos & Burlington Railroad Company, who become parties to
this agreement and pay $10 for each bond for $1,000 held by
them, shall receive new second mortgage bonds to an amount
equal to the amount of such first mortgage bonds held by
them including interest to be computed’from last payment to
the Lt day of January, 18^8, at 0 per cent per annum, to
which amount shall be added a sum equal to 50 per cent of
the principal of such first mortgage bonds, excluding interest.
The subscribers to the $000,000 debenture subscription of De¬
cember* 1882, shall receive second mortgage bonds for fiveeighths of their holdings—say $400,000, “ such being the esti¬
mated amount actually paid.”
Preferred 0 percent non-cumulative stock shall be created
to theamount of $12,000,000, and holders of Toledo Cincinnati&
St. Louis income bonds may exchange for this at par on pay¬
ing $5 for each share of $100; holders of Toledo Delphos & Bur¬
lington income bonds may exchange for preferred stock at par
on paying $5 for each $100 share, and may also take 50 per
cent more of the said preferred stock on payment of $1 for each

this fact by stating that since Jan. 1 the Union
Pacific has sold more than half a million acres of land situated
more than 350 miles from the Missouri River, chiefly in Keith
and Cheyenne counties, Neb. Since Oet. 25 last, when the
Keith County lands were thrown upon the market, over 400

In Lincoln
County, Neb., the Union Pacific lias about half a million acres
of land suitable for cattle and sheep raising, which is being
Bold rapidly, both in small lots and in tracts of 5,000 to 15,000
acres.
As the company has left some 8,000,000 acres of its

Pacific Division, it still has an abundant supply of land for
future settlers and land purchasers. ”

this, •“ that the land grant balance is
drawing interest, and that it seems wiser to the trustee to con¬
tinue this policy than to pay current prices for any large
amount of the bonds for whose redemption the fund is appli¬
cable. The land grant 7s mature in 1887, 1888 and 1889, at
which several periods they can be bought ex premium. Seven
per cent bonds having three years to run pay at 107*67 about
^percent; having four years to run, they pay about 5 per
cent, and having five years to run, pay about 5^ per cent. From
the standpoint of the trustee it is easy to see why there should
be no hurry to redeem the bonds in question before
maturity
when the asking price is as at present. This subject
suggests
a point on which there is some
misconception, the statement
having gone abroad that, whatever the earnings of the oper¬
ating department of Union Pacific, the land sales would pro¬
vide for the dividend.
The Kansas Pacific lands may be sold
to help out on dividends, but not Union Pacific lands
proper.
Proceeds from these are applicable to the land grant bonds,
and after that to the sinking fund bonds.”
—The Union Pacific land sales in March were
36-1,000 acres;
receipts, $1,061,000. Increase in acres, 279,075; in receipts,
$778,486. • Jan. 1 to March 31, acres sold, 647,112; receipts,

Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table is
prepared 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 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

constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the years n.lined.
The movement each month

improved demand for memberships ; but more especially
is the increasing
inquiry to be attributed to the almost
certainty of having the purchase and sales of print cloths
added to the business of the

requisite rules. When the introduction of that important
article shall have been actually
accomplished, a still greater
accession of members may be

lowest point, and a further
improvement is almost certain to

Cotcau, La — Communications with New Orleans broken but
day; during former overflows interruptions or
somtimes lor two or three weeks. No overllowin irregularities lasted

though the bayous are high in consequence of late rains.
The season
for planting has been
comp iratively favorable.
Brook haven, Miss.—Farmers
\e)y busy planting. No cotton planted
yet. Very disagreeable, rainy weather.
Greenville, Miss.—Extraordinarily high winds

Mount Ida. Arlc —Corn planting
going on lively.
Helena, .1 rk.—The river during March rose within two inches of
high
watermark and on April 1st is 3 feet 9 inches
below high water, and

April
14. The present stage overflows anout
one third of the area that

water mark does, ami the
present rise will probablyoveiflow about two
thirds of the Yazoo basin and below Helena.There is no prospect for
the water to get oil the land below
Vicksburg for six weeks or two

planting preparations are
very backward, as the ground lias bfeeii too wet.
The rain was more in
quantity than for the months of August. September, October and

The weather is now dry and
very high winds prevail.
Sales of fertilizers have been
very heavy and farmers will put in a
heavy crop of cotton, and thus require the usual amount of
help.
