prices too frequently unremunerative. Besides, there is
quite a change in the readiness with which mercantile
paper, is discounted, more especially single name paper.
Not long since the latter was greatly sought after and
passed at the lowest market rates. Now it is in decreased
demand and is scrutinized closely, the numerous and
large failures having served to discredit such notes. These
facts-taken together are believed to indicate that importa¬
tions will keep within moderate limits this summer, even
if the crops do promise well; and hence, as there seems
to be a good prospect of Europe's wanting all our food
products, low rates for exchange and a considerable import
of gold are anticipated for the first half of the next fiscal
year.
The stock market, as
in tone and tendency
already stated, has been irregular
during the past week.
It is
claimed now that the leading speculators for an advance
succeeded in marketing a large portion of their stocks
during the rise of a week ago. With this view, on Mon¬
day the operators for a decline attacked the market, but it
was so quickly turned upward again that further efforts to
break it, were for the time being abandoned.
Wednes¬
day advantage was taken of the announcement that the
Chicago & Northwestern instead of making the antici¬
pated extra dividend had issued ten millions new bonds ;

bought it up. About the same time it also bought the St.
Joseph & lies Moines narrow guage, because it would
afford an outlet to St. Joseph.
Then it bought the Bur
lington & Southwestern, because there was a possibility
that in unfriendly hands it might be extended to Kansas
City. It also acquired the St. Louis Keokuk & North¬
western, for what reason we have never been quite able to
find out.
And now it has finally shouldered the Hannibal
& St. Joseph.
As this latter was indispensable to it, it
seems as if it ought
to have been acquired in the first
place, and some of the other cumbersome pieces left
severely alone. Still, the inside reasons for some of these
movements may have been better in all respects than
reported ; and the fact that the road is doing so well, and
is fully able to bear the burdens it has assumed, shows
at least that the policy has not hitherto worked such
harm to it as the same policy has brought upon so
many
other companies in the past.
Money has continued in good supply on call, and the im¬
provement in the reserves of the banks enables these institu¬
tions to be more liberal in the purchases of paper.

CHRONICLE.
It is
perfectly natural that an earnest anti-Irish, feeling
has been aroused in both England and Scotland.
Recent
legislation has shown that the feeling of sentiment is no
longer powerful in the Houses of Parliament. Nor is this
much to be wondered at.
Whatever may have been the
wrongs of Ireland, it is undeniable that of late years an
honest attempt has been made by the British Parliament
to do justice to the sister island.
In view of this legisla¬
tion of the last two years, and in view also of the work
done in the same direction during Mr. Gladstone’s former
term of office, it would have been natural to
expect that
the Irish people would have been filled with gratitude
towards the Government and legislators of the
day.
Ire¬
land complained of an alien Church; the Government
removed it.
Ireland complained of her land-laws; the
Government made an honest attempt to amend them.
Ireland complained of her facilities for what is called the
higher education; the Government again came to the rescue.
After the lapse of six years, Parliament was once more called
upon to give its attention to Ireland and the Irish; and in,
face of a powerful opposition the land laws were further
amended; rents were reduced; debts were canceled; and
facilities of various kinds were given to the peasant
farmer to help him to begin anew.
It was apparently the
desire and
determination of

a
is
hardly necessary to say that the measures which
the Irish conspirators have latterly adopted are suicidal,
or, as Michael Davitt very forcibly expressed it, “ insane,
idiotic, criminal.” They cannot work for Ireland’s good
but must work to her harm ; and the misfortune is thatall
Ireland
suffers, and is bound to suffer because'of the
few.
It is probable that Ireland may have
remaining grievances of which to complain ; it is probable
that further legislation is needed even to perfect the
reforms already granted ; but what hope is there that the
British Parliament, while the cause of Ireland is cham¬
pioned as it now is, will be induced to listen to any further
stories of Irish wrongs ?
This fact only illustrates how
“idiotic” a policy is which attempts to frighten Great
Britain into submission by blowing up a few buildings
and taking a few valuable lives.
It can only exasperate
and destroy the hopes of all Ireland for a

as easy in tone, and as the

in operating either financially or
commercially. New com¬
panies continue to be introduced to public notice, and a very
steady and legitimate business seems to be in progress in
mercantile circles ; but speculative operations are conducted
upon a very moderate scale, and, although such a process must
be regarded as safe, many, who have for
years past lived as
it were, upon accidental profits, find their means reduced to
very modest proportions. The failures which are taking place
(rail for no special remark, and there is reason for
believing
that, on the whole, our trade is in a sound condition ; but it is
not expected that business will assume
any active form until
we are fairly assured of a

is undoubtedly in a favorable direction, and

may be anticipated.
The
Bank of England return shows changes incidental
chieily to the close of the quarter, and of the financial year.
The proportion of reserve to liabilities is now only 34 33
per
cent, against 38’27 per cent last week; but an improvement
may be looked forward to next week. The demand for loans has
been very considerable, the total of “other securities” haviag
been augmented to the extent of £1,429,039.
The total reserve
has been diminished by £1,285,827. The supply of bullion held
by the Bank of Eogland is now £21,941,131, against £23,317,427,
and the total reserve is £11,679,510, against £12,729,717 last
year. The Bank rate is 3 per cent, and the open market rates

Exchequer, Mr. Childers, delivered liis
financial statement to the House of Commons on
Thursday
evening, and there being some important remissions of taxa¬
tion, the effect'produced has been very satisfactory.
During
the
closing weeks of last year the public were taking a gloomy
view of the
future, and it was apprehended that the
Finance Minister would find it difficult to
lighten any of the
burdens which have, of late
years, been imposed upon the
people. It was even thought that the addition to the income
tax of l/£d. in the
pound, caused by the Egyptian war, would
have to be retained
; but this year the additions to the revenue
considerable that the Government find them¬
selves in the
possession of a handsome surplus. The revenue

however
by no means in an advanced state, and
vegetable food is still very scarce. Meat also is very dear, and
is above the price at which the working classes can consume it
freely. The consumption of bread is, therefore, upon a large
scale ; but supplies arrive freely, and our markets are amply
supplied.
The trade for wheat is therefore slow', with a
tendency, as regards prices, in favor of buyers.
The imports of wheat into the United Kingdom" last week
amounted to 1,261,420 cwt., and of flour to 379,874 cwfc., the
total of the former since harvest being 37,956,956 cwt., and of
the latter as mnch as 10,476,347 cwt.
Of home-grown wheat,
the deliveries were also large, viz : 61,804 quarters in the 150
principal markets, and, according to the usual reckoning,
nearly 250,000 quarters for the kingdom. The additional
supply of wheat and flour placed upon the British markets last
week is estimated at 2,712,500 cwt., the total for 31 weeks of the
current season being now 75,464,000 cwt., against 65,586,700
cwi. last season.
The following figures show the extent of the
deliveries by British farmers of home-grown wheat, barley and
oats in the 150 principal markets of the Kingdom, and the
average prices obtained in each of the four last seasons :

OM Colony.—At
a special meeting of the stockholders of the
Colony Railroad in Boston, it was voted to issue $500,000 in
notes or bonds to meet
matuiing indebtedness ; also to increase
the capital stock of the
company to $12,000,000.
Old
St. Louis & San Franc isco.—This
company has just com¬
pleted negotiations for the sale to a
syndicate of bankers of
2,500,000 of its general mortgage 6 per cent bonds. The same
parties some time since also took a like amount of these
bonds,
and a large portion of the same was
disposed
of in Europe.
The bonds run for
fifty years, and are payable in gold. They
are issued under the
company’s general mortgage, which pro¬
vides for an ultimate issue of not
exceeding $30,000,000 of
bonds, of which sufficient amounts are set aside and

—For several
years that enterprising corporation, the Maverick
National Bank of Boston, has published, for distribution
among
its patrons, an annual
containing important information upon va¬
rious financial matters. That for 1883 is a
volume of one hundred
and twenty-six pages, and a fine
specimen of the printer’s art.
About one-third of the volume is devoted to masters
pertaining
to United States bonds, in which the
Maverick Bank has been,
and is, an extensive dealer. An answer is
given to many ques¬
tions which are frequently
asked. ,For instance, we are told
how many private individuals own
registered bonds; the num¬
ber of holders of large amounts and of small
amounts; the
number of bondholders in each State; the number of
bondhold¬
ers in the
principal cities; the number of coupon bonds held in
this country and in
foreign countries, etc., etc. A similar space
is given to State and local indebtedness.
Other chapters and
tables show the amount of precious metals
mined, the growth of
manufacturing interests in the several States for the last
years, &c., &c.

The recent changes of various sorts among the leading rail¬
road companies have led to the creation of new bonds, carry¬
ing obligations for annual interest payments, which are made
use of
by the bears in stocks as an argument against the

Canada Southern and Michigan Central issue $6,000,000 0 per
cents for improvements, &c.; interest charge $360,000.
Union Pacific issues $5,000,000 new 5 per cent collateral
trust bonds for floating debt, &c.; interest charge $250,000.
Lake Shore some time ago issued its $6,500,000 7 per cents
for the Nickel Plate stock ; interest charge $435,000 per
Nickel Plate issues its $3,000,000 and upwards of
second mortgage bonds for floating debt, &c.
There is nothing particularly significant in these several
issues of bonds, but they again call attention to the circum¬
stance that old and strong corporations are absorbing the
stocks and shouldering the debts of new, or non-dividend
paying, companies.
The money market has been easy, and a temporary advance
in rates to stock brokers on Monday is hardly worth mention¬
ing ; the fair rates on call loans have been 4@6 per cent on
stock collaterals, and 3^@4 per cent on government bonds.
Prime commercial paper is quoted at 51£@6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a decrease of £240,000 in specie, and the percentage of reserve
to liabilities was 37 7-16, against 36 15-16 last week ; the dis¬
count rate remains at 3 per cent.
The Bank of France gained
4,325,000 francs gold and 2,800,000 francs silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of April 14 showed a decrease of $3,411,650 in the amount
of deficiency in their reserves below the legal limit, the total
deficiency being $289,350, against $3,701,000 April 7.

State and Railroad Bonds.—State bonds have been very
sluggish and there have hardly been transactions enough to
make live quotations.
To-dyy old Tennessee 6s sold at 42.
In railroad bonds there is a fair business and prices keep up
well, in spite of the dull stock market. There are many
anomalies in the relative prices of railroad bonds, and it is
often found that the bonds on unfinished roads or roads with¬
out an established business will sell almost as high as others
of the same rate per cent issued by companies having a wellestablished and paying traffic. Where purchases are made for
investment and not for the purpose of realizing a speedy

recently advanced the most rapidly, and this had more or
less influence on the whole market, while at the same time
the old bear party that has operated so heavily in the past six,
months, again renewed its attacks with the customary crop
of rumors and assumptions.
There were also matters of fact
which had something to do with the weakness in certain
stocks, and the most notable of these was the termination of
the Chicago & Northwestern deliberations which resulted in
the issue of $10,000,000 bonds instead of the anticipated stock
the Northwest stocks fell

were also weak, but closed bi tter on Mr. Gould’s circular ex¬
plaining the issue of collateral trust bonds.
There was probably a heavier short interest in the market
during the past few days than there had been for a month
past, and to-day prices took a sharp upward turn in the last
hour, helped, no doubt, by the covering of shorts. The annual
reports coming out for 1882 generally make a good.exhibit of
earnings, but some of them show a large increase in bonded
obligations, and many of these bonds have been issued for

Canadian Pacific—Grand Trunk.—In regard to the failure
of these companies to agree upon a consolidation of interests, a
cable dispatch to the Toronto Globe says : President Stephens’
letter, stating his inability to carry out the tentative agreement,
fully confirms the agreement in the cable dispatch, and justi¬
fies the surmise that fatal objection was raised in America, and
that the difficulty lay in the proposed surrender of the contract
of the Ontario & Quebec Railway by the Canada Pacific Rail¬
way to the Grand Trunk.
Mr. Srephens assures Sir Henry
Tyler that his endeavor will be constant to maintain the most
friendly relations with the Grand Trunk Railway Company.
Chicago & .Alton.—Officials of the company say that the
proposed purchase of the St. Louis Jacksonville & Chicago
Railroad will probably be effected, and that the common and
preferred stock of the latter company will be exchanged for
that of Chicago & Alton share for share. The common stock of
the St. Louis Jacksonville & Chicago is $1,448,600 and preferred
$1,054,100, upon which the Chicago & Alton since 1868 has
paid from $240,000 to $424,000 rent per annum. The lease of
the St. Louis Jacksonville & Chicago was made to the Chicago
& Alton April 30, 186S, in perpetuity.
Chicago & Northwestern.—The Executive Committee of the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company decided to issue
$10,000,000 debenture bonds with which to pay for the control
of the Omaha line. The new bonds are to run
fifty years, and
bear 5 per cent interest, and they have been taken by Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., representing a syndicate of prominent American
and European bankers. The price which the company will
receive for the bonds was not made public. The new bonds are
debenture bonds, but a clause in the agreement provides that if
the company shall afterward place a mortgage on its
property
the issue shall acquire all the qualities of a legitimate mort¬
gage. A sinking fund of 2 per cent a year is also provided for.
Chicago St. Louis & Pittsburg.—This company, successor
to the Columbus Chicago & Indiana Central, has made
ap¬
plication to the Stock Exchange to have its new stock and
’Bonds listed; the stock is $10,000,000 common and $20,000,010
preferred, and the new mortgage bonds outstanding will be

depends upon the allowance or disallowance of items for new
equipment and new construction for the three and a half years
ended December 31,1881, amounting to $2,381,439, twenty-five
per cent of which is claimed to be due the Government and has
been demanded from the company.
After giving the gist of
several judicial decisions as to'what constitute “net earnings,”
which decisions, however, were not based upon the act of 1878,
the Commissioner says he has insisted that expenses for “new
equipment and new construction” are not “ necessary expenses
paid within the year in operating the same ’and keeping the
same in a state of repair.”
The Commissioner says that the Central Pacffic Railroad
Company, reserving whatever rights it may possess under the
law, has paid 25 per cent of its net earnings as computed
by the Department without such deductions as the Union Pacific
Company claims ought to be allowed. The amount claimed by
the Commissioner to be due the
United States from the latter
company to December 31, 1881, is $901,837.
The company
claims credits on account of new equipment and new construc¬
tion which if allowed would reduce its indebtedness to the Gov¬
ernment on the disputed account to $306,477.
The company,
in accordance with its own mode of computation, tendered a
check for $69,358 83 in payment of the balance of its indebted¬
ness to December 31, 1880, which tender was refused by the
Government. The settlement for the year 1882 has not yet
made, but the Commissioner estimates that it will in¬
the total balance claimed by the Government and denied
by the company to at least $1,500,000. In computing the claim
of the Government the Commissioner has given the Union
Pacific Railroad Company credit for $939,074 due from the
Government to the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company (which
became the Kansas division of the Union Pacific Railroad by
consolidation therewith in January, 1880,) for the same period,
after deducting the 5 per cent of its net earnings upon 394
miles—the subsidized portion of the road. The Commissioner
recommends that suit be brought with a view to obtaining
judgment for whatever amount may be found due to the Gov¬
been

The
yesterday, and values here were drooping during the morning
hours, with a dull business. Later there was some recovery,
but the close was dull.
Cotton on the spot has been quite
variable. There was an Jadvance of L£c. on Saturday last, a
decline of l-16c. on Tuesday and an advance of l-16c. on
Thursday. There has been more activity in the business re¬
ported for export, and the comparatively small stocks give
holders much confidence.
To-day the market was quiet and
unchanged, middling uplands closing at 10l4c.

some recovery took place.
On Thursday a buoyant market
at’ Liverpool and small receipts at the principal interior towns
gave impetus to a demand to cover contracts, on which prices
rose again 9(510 points for this crop and 6(57 points for the
next crop.
To-day Liverpool did not respond to our advices of

Keceipts from the Plantations,—The
following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantatious. Receipts at the
outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made
up more largely one year
Ghau 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.

Jute Butts, Bagging, &c.—Bagging has been in fair jobbing
demand, but the market is not active iu a large way. Buyers
are only filling their actual requirements, as the prices are too
high to admit of any large transactions. Prices are steady,
however, and holders continue to quote 9c. for 1/2 lbs, 9/2c.
for 1/i lbs, 10/£c. for 2 lbs and 11c. for standard grades. Butts
have been iu some demand and we hear of 5,1)00 bales in lots of

comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate
as the weeks iu different years do not end on the same day of

We have consequently added to our other standing

2. The fellaheen are very ignorant, and perhaps

Incapable of selecting suitable seed for sowing. There are European
proprietors of ginning factories who wisely iu their own interest take
care to provide good seed to the growers in their
district; but there are
others who supply poor seed at a high price, looking only to “to-day
and probably there are growers who will not
pay the price of good
seed. Hence the growth of poor stuff aud mixture of qualities, which
bring so much trouble and loss upon the consumers These things want

3,. The evils indicated above will lie increased if tlio Domain lands

prietors. It may become necessary to impose stringent regulations
regarding the supply of seed, aud to restrict it to a central depot by
imperial enactment1. Much depends upon the ginning of
cotton—good cotton can bo and

Egypt is precarious, the cultivation of
similar quality should be attempted elsewhere.
Surely there are soils
in some of our colonies or

fairly active at gradually rising quotations.
Patents have been plentiful but have sold more freely. The
lower grades have been in the most demand as a rule, however,
and the supply being quite moderate, they have been held with
the most confidence. To-day the market was fiiin but less
Flour has been
active.
Wheat has risen from two to three cents per bushel, owing
-
partly to an advance at the West and in Europe, partfy to
unfavorable reports respecting the winter wheat, and partly to
covering by the shorts. Some days ago the outlook at the
appeared
favorable.
It
stated that with good
weather in the future, much of the damage done within the
last few months would be repaired, and that a full average crop,
counting the yield of both winter and spring wheat, might yet
be realized, especially as an extensive area of virgin soil is an¬
nually bring devoted to the latter crop in the newer States and
Territories of the far Northwest. Yesterday, however, the
crop reports from California were less favorable, and the re¬
ports from Ohio, Indiana, Jllinois and Kansas, while conflicting,
were sufficient to cause considerable covering both here and
at Chicago and an advance in both markets.
It is claimed, on
the other hand, that the prospective yield is at yet wholly
problematical, and that large crops have been raised in the
past even when the season has been as backward as the present
one.
The speculation here has been brisk, and though early in
the week the foreign demand was moderate, it has improved
within the last few days. To-day cash wheat was firm, but
options declined /2C. to l%c. No. 2 red sold at $1 20@$i 20%
for April, $1 20%@$1 21% for May. $1 22>£@$1 23% for June,
$1 23/4@$i 24/2 for July, $1 23@$i 24% for August, and $1 24
@$1 24% for September. The Department of Agriculture’s last
estimate of the wheat acreage in this country was one per cent
more than that of last year, with the condition of the
