of the Missouri River towns.
With the
possession of a rival, the Burlington & Quincy
might have been all but shut off from the rich trade which
those towns afford.
The purchase of the Kansas City &
Council Bluffs was therefore a necessary and a wise step.
The Burlington & Quincy occupies an exceptionally
strong position with regard to local traffic, draining effect-

after branch, building one wherever and as soon as the
country seemed able to support one and required one. In
pursuance of this policy, 78 miles of new branches were
built in 1880, and the work is still going on.
So persist¬

there is

little room
anywhere in its territory for the construction of branches

posed extension of the Missouri Iowa & Nebraska to
Omaha by the Wabash, not only gave reason for fear to
the Burlington & Quincy because it would add another
competitor for the business between Omaha and Chicago,

operated
This does not include the Kansas
City St. Joseph &
Council Bluffs line, which is still operated separately. If
the mileage of that road is added on, we have a total of
over 3,000
miles now embraced in the Burlington &
Quincy system. At the beginning of 1880 the system
comprised only 1,857 miles. The Burlington & Missouri
River, the Kansas City & Council Bluffs, and the construetion of 78 miles of branches in Iowa, enlarged it to its
present proportions.
As regards the fiscal results of operation, we may say
that they were highly favorable.
The gross earnings
amounted to $20,492,046, against $17,544,345 in 1879.
The net earning3 were $10,687,553, against $8,869,824.
The percentage of expenses has been cut down from 49-4
to 47-8.
Deducting from the net earnings $4,049,109 for
interest on the debt, sinking funds, rent of track and
depots, there remains the sum of $6,638,444 applicable to
the stock, equivalent
to about 12£ per cent
on
the $52,772,700
stock outstanding January 1. This
is exclusive of $899,315, the
net receipts of the
Burlington & Missouri River in Nebraska land
department, which would swell the percentage to
over 14.
There was paid in cash 9J-. per cent, and in stock
20 per cent, altogether 29J.
The stock dividend was
based on the undivided surplus of previous years.
Above
the
per cent paid in cash, the year’s account shows a
surplus of $2,272,380, of whichi $1,250,000 was trans¬
ferred to “ Renewal Fund,” representing “a portion of the
amount applied during the year from surplus earnings
towards construction.” The surplus account is now given
at $14,573,708, represented by sinking funds, new con¬
struction, materials and supplies, and sundry investments,
feeders.
The building of the line
was accordingly
resisted, the Burlington & Quincy
claiming that that territory was pre-eminently its
own.
As is known, the matter was finally compromised.
The line will be built, but it will be owned jointly by both
companies, and in any benefit to be derived from it both
will share.
The controversy about this piece of road,
though no reference is made to it in the annual report, was
one of the events of the year, and serves to illustrate how
faithfully the company has protected its territory against
the aggression of other companies.
First, it has taken
care to build new lines as soon as needed, and thus fore¬
stalled the action of rivals; and secondly, it has resisted
any attempt at invasion.
Among the other events of the year was the consolidation
with the Burlington & Missouri River in Nebraska, which,
however, was nothing especially new, as the consolidation
had been previously determined upon.
That road occupies
much the same position in Nebraska that the Burlington
& Quincy does in Illinois and Iowa.
It runs through a
very fertile district and its lines pretty well cover the
district.

We have again to deplore the lack

All the information the report gives is that the number of

Naturally, at present, speculation is rife as to the pros¬

nationalities of the empire, under the auspices of the new
ruler, Alexander III. It is probably too soon as yet to
attempt to forecast what may be the effect of the sudden
and violent transfer of supreme authority.

Speculative stocks underwent some important fluctua¬

would be another fall after the rebound which took place
from the extreme depression of Feb. 25, and under this
influence a considerable short interest was created. There
were material fluctuations, and at times a decidedly weak
tone in the market, which was greatly promoted by the
reports of very bad weather in the Northwest, causing a
most serious decline in railroad earnings, and a heavier
-decline in net earnings, too, than in the gross earnings as
reported. The loss of business during the three months
(January, February and March) was something very
large; but finally the active support given to the market
by thelarge operators, and the idea that the Government
would certainly keep the money market easy during the
cummer, gave a stimulus to prices which caused a general

farming in the eastern parts of this country has already done—
to the new conditions, to the variety of products which will not
bear long carriage, and which more and more require individual
ownerships of small farms, free from onerous rents ? Yet, if this
proves to be so, may it not be that the apparent decadence of
British agriculture is but the beginning of its real progress?

seems
rather
far-fetched, for few
readers, probably, could tell that a “cambist” is a banker or
exchange dealer, without referring to the dictionary. The
sub-title sets forth the scope of the book. It is mainly a dic¬
tionary of weights, measures and moneys of all nations, but goes
further, giving rules for working exchange between different
countries, with copious examples, and a variety of information
relative to the practical working operations of the modern cam¬
bist or exchange dealer, who has to deal with all countries much
'more than the cambist of former times.

increase in the trade demand on this side of September.
The commerce of the country is decidedly very quiet, and there
will be
no
speculation of importance in any department. During
the summer months much inactivity is likely to prevail, as all
classes seem determined to adhere to the policy of trading and
spending with extreme reserve. The traffic receipts of our
principal railway companies are very disappointing, especially
in the matter of goods. The Northeastern RR. receipts, which are
regarded as a clue to the condition of the iron and coal trades,
show for last week a reduction of about £10,000, compared with
last year; and it is well known that, the failures which have
recently taken place in the iron trade have had a very unfavor¬
able effect upon business. AVe are now, however, enjoying
remarkably fine weather, and hopes naturally prevail that after
a series of bad crops there will be some improvement among the
agricultural interests. A good harvest always exercises a bene¬
ficial influence, notwithstanding that food remains cheap in this
country in spite of bad seasons ; but a larger production from
the soil adds wealth to the nation, and leaves money capital
available for the purchase of commodities other than food.
There are, indeed, two drawbacks of a political character which
tend to keep active business in check, viz., the Turko-Greek dis¬
pute and the difficulties which exist in Ireland. The assassination
of the Czar of Russia is not expected to open up any new fields of
controversy, and if the new monarch adheres to the statements
in his manifesto, domestic affairs and reforms will be quite
sufficient to occupy his thoughts for a long time to come. The
war at the Cape
seems to be on the verge of a settlement, which
it is to be hoped, but which some doubt, will be of a permanent
character; and should a peace with the Boer3 be honorably
arranged, Parliament will be more able to direct its attention to
domestic work, while the country will be afforded a better
opportunity of trading with confidence.
This week’s Bank return does not show changes of a very
important character. There has been some increase in the
demand for loans, owing to the financial arrangements which
have been in progress; but the falling off in the supply of
bullion is less than had been anticipated, and the reduction in

This is the price

Railroad traffic in the Northwest has met with one of the worst
months of March ever known, and there is no question but that
the loss of net earnings on many of the railroads in that section
has been so large during the first three months of the current
year that it will scarcely be possible to make up the decrease
(compared with 1880) during the remaining nine months of
1881. Unfortunately, there are few reports of net earnings
from railroads, but one report just at hand from the Burling¬
ton Cedar Rapids & Northern shows how large is the loss in net
profits as compared with the loss in gross receipts. This road
made gross earnings in January and February, 1881, of $292,259;
in 1880, $349,487 ; decrease, $57,238. Net earnings in 1881,
$54,182; in 1880, $140,775; decrease, $86,593. If tnis for two
months is a fair sample of the result of operations on railroads
of the Northwest during the first quarter of this year—and we
know of no reason why it should be worse than an average—it
is clear that the loss of net profits has been very heavy. So far
as the practical results of a bad winter have yet shown them¬
selves in the effect upon dividends, the reduction in- the Michi¬

likely to continue, is sufficient to turn the markets in favor of

State and Railroad Bonds.—All other transactions in South¬
State bonds have been overshadowed by the activity in Ten-

at the Board. The bondholders’ funding bill was up in
the Tennessee Senate yesterday and again to-day, when it was
defeated by a vote of 13 to 12. There was much excitement in
the bonds on this intelligence, and in the last hour of business
the sales of Tennessee 6s “ new ” went as follows, in the order

United States Bonds.—The price of four per
the olose is 113%-114 ex-interest—about the highest
cents at
price ever
reached. Secretary Windom was
bankers to-day at the New York
in consultation with leading
Sub-Treasury, where, in com¬
pany with Attorney-General MacVeagh and Comptroller Knox,
ho had a free and informal talk on the subject of the funding
operations of the Treasury. Opinions were expressed by dif¬
ferent bankers, but no conclusions were arrived at, nor were any
definite conclusions expected at this time. On his return to
Washington, the Treasury policy will probably be announced.
On one point the opinions seemed to be almost unanimous,
and that was in regard to the class of bonds which should be
8wl of those yet authorized to be issued, the preference for 4
per cents instead of 4)6 per cents being very decided.
The following circular to holders of called bonds was issued
by the Treasury Department March 30 :
Notice is hereby given that this Department
will redeem, on and after

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The prospect
money
during the period of the Treasury
of easy
funding operations
and the steady imports of gold from abroad have overcome all
other influences and turned the market in favor of the bulls.
These circumstances* however, would amount to little in them¬
selves, unless they were on the side which suits the purposes of
some, if not most, of the very heavy stock operators in New
York. It is almost too obvious to require comment that parties
carrying $50,000,000 of a highly-watered stock—and it seems
probable that as much or m>re than that amount of Western
Union Telegraph is held by a very few parties—are very deeply
interested in keeping up the market until their holdings can be
distributed. It must be the effort of these holders for a long
time to come to persuade the public by every possible means
that Western Union can earn 6 per cent per annum on its present'
capital, and thus induce purchases. A street rumor says that
plaintiff Williams has been offered $100,000 to stop his litiga¬
tion, and that the injunction suit will soon be dismissed. This is
given for whatever it may be worth.
As to railroad earnings, the latest reports at hand are for the
third week in March, and generally show a continued loss in the
Northwest, but increase in the Southwest. As to the loss in net
earnings as compared with gross, some remarks are made above,
though based only on the meagre information derived from
the report of one road.
There is no single point so much
needed now for legitimate stock speculation as regular monthly
reports of net earnings as well as the reports of gross receipts.
The Northern Pacific injunction case has been adjourned to
Thursday, April 7, although when such heavy interests were
involved it would appear that the question of continuing the
injunction should have been heard as speedily as possible. The
coal companies have agreed to another short suspension of work.
The general market nas been strong, with a slight reaction
towards the close, when the rates for money advanced this after¬
noon to 1-16 per day in addition to the legal rate.
The daily highest and lowest prices have been as follows:

Exchange.—The market for foreign exchange has been
days, and the leading drawers of
iterling advanced their rates again to-day. Specie is still mov¬
ing freely in this direction from Europe, and it is difficult to see
how we can expect to have exchange kept up to much higher
rates without a change in the trade movement. Possibly the
return of 6 per cent bonds from Europe, which is sure to take
place when the last coupon matures, may be an influence of some
importance. The rates for actual business to-day were about
4 80^ for bankers’ 60 days’ sterling and 4 82% for demand.
Cable transfers 4 83^. Prime commercial bills 4 79.

advance at the opening, which was partly lost at the close, with
an unsettled feeling.
Cotton on the spot has been more active
for export, holders having accepted more readily the bids of
shippers. There was a decline of l-16c. on Monday. Yester¬
day the low grades of white and the low and medium grades
of stained declined 1-160 %c.
The total sales for forward deli very Yor the week are 521,200
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
9,268 bales, including 5,954 for export, 3,314 for consumption,
for speculation, and
in transit. Of the above, —— bales

day and Wednesday were quiet and irregular, the late summer
and early autumn months advancing, while' March and April
declined, the latter month giving way under the expectation of
free deliveries of low grades on contracts. Yesterday a better

figures indicate an increase in the cotton in sight
to-night of 442,081 bales as compared with the same date of 1880,
an increase of 621,628 bales as compared with 1879 and an in¬
crease of 215,476 bales as compared with 1878.
In the preceding visible supply table we have heretofore only
included the interior stocks at the seven original interior towns.
As we did not have the record of the new interior towns for the
four years, we could not make a comparison in any other way.
That difficulty no longer exists, and we therefore make the fol¬
lowing comparison, which includes the stocks at the nineteen
towns given weekly in our table of interior stocks instead of only
the old seven towns. We shall continue this double statement for
a time, but
finally shall simply substitute the nineteen towns for
the seven towns in the preceding
table.

whole, the dry goods market has been quiet the past
light brown cottons, low and medium grade bleached
goods, &c., are generally lower than a short time ago, but not
so low as to stimulate speculation. Print cloths were quiet and
easier, extra 64x64s closing at 3 13-16c. and 56x60s at 3 5-16e.
Prints were sluggish as a rule, but a few large sales were made
to jobbers and exporters by means of lower prices.
Printed
lawns, wide prints and cotton dress goods ruled quiet in first
hands, but were jobbed in fair quantities, and ginghams con¬

exports of domestics from this
port during the week ending March 29 were 3,122 packages*
including 1,6S3 to China, 551 to Great Britain, 308 to United
States of Colombia, 241 to Argentine Republic, 52 to Mexico*
&c. From Boston the shipments of the week were 3,588 pack¬
ages, of which 3,440 were sent to Tamatave, Island of Mada¬
gascar. The demand at first hands was mostly of a hand-tomouth character, but a fair business (at somewhat irregular
prices) was reported by jobbers.
Heavy standard sheetings,
drills, fine bleached cottons and a few of the best makes of
colored cottons remain unchanged in price, but quotations for

important distributing points in the interior. Busi¬
ness was light and irregular with the package houses, and the
jobbing trade (though fairly satisfactory in the aggregate) was
less active than of late. There was, however, an unusually
large movement in cotton goods for export, the week’s ship¬
ments from this port and from Boston having reached tha
handsome total of 6,710 packages. About 250 packages of
Philadelphia cotton goods, &c., were peremptorily disposed of
by auction, but the prices obtained were comparatively low*
most of the goods having been of an inferior character, and
not adapted to the present requirements of consumers. Foreign
dress goods and silks were also offered in considerable quan¬
