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. Wednesday advantage was taken of the announcement that the
Chicago & Northwestern instead of making the anticipated extra dividend had issued ten millions new bonds
so that property was first attacked, and in the afternoon the
whole market became irregular and so continued Thursday
and yesterday.
The omission of the Northwestern management to issue
the anticipated dividend in new stock at par, and the
emission instead of 10 millions debenture bonds with
which to pay for the Omaha, was a great disappointment
to the street.
There was a confident expectation that the
stock would be issued, and all the operations of outsiders
were governed by that belief the shorts covered and
the speculating crowd bought.
Of course when it was
found that nothing of the kind had been done, it was easy
to use that property to weaken the whole market. Another

should feel itself compelled to enter so largely upon the
policy of absorption and expansion.
There can certainly
be no fault found with its latest move, but for over two
years now the management have been engaged in similar
work.
Besides the Hannibal & St. Joseph outlet to
Kansas City, the Burlington & Quincy has another

period, the quotation for three months' Bank bills was as low as

money improved, and the discount quotation was 2% per cent.
Money for short periods has been iu demand, and the rate on
the best security has been 2J^@3 per cent, closing at about 2
per cent. Taken as a whole, the money market may be regarded
as eaEy in tone, and as the quotations are low, any reduction in
them can scarcely be desirable.
Notwithstanding the favorable character of the Budget, the
unexpected improvement in the condition of the national
finances during the last tliree months, the easy condition of
the money market, and the very favorable weather, the condition of
things
on the Stock Exchange, as well as in
mercantile circles, is somewhat disappointing
Theie ia
no depression ; on the contrary a firm tone prevails,
and the value of British railway securities has im
proved,
owing to a partial remission— which by-the-bye,
does not coma into operation until the fist of October
next of the passenger duty. There is, however, no eagerness
in operating either financially or commercially.
New companies 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
call 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 satisfactory harvest. The tendency
is undoubtedly in a favorable direction, and satisfactory results
may be anticipated.
The Bank of England return shows changes incidental
chiefly 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" having
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 England is now £21,941,131, against £23,317,427,

of one commerce, and there is reason for believing that
the revenue for the year his been rather under than over
estimated. The prospects at the present time are more satisfactory than they have been for some time past, and If we shonid

have a fair averag(? yield of agricultural produce a revival of
commercial prosperity may be looked forward to.
The revenue returns for the past quarter and for the financial year were issued on Monday, and from these it appears that
the net increase for the year was £3,182,174, the largest increase
being under the head of Income tax, viz.: £1,955,000. The
post office and telegraph service receipts have been augmented
by £380,000, customs by £370,000, stamps by £457,483, and
sundry items by £330,108. There has, however, been a falling

The Chancellor
of the Exchequer, Mr. Childers, delivered his
statement to the House of Commons on Thursday
eTening, and there being some important remissions of taxation, the effect produced has been very satisfactory.
During
the closing weeks of last year the public were taking a gloomy
Tiew 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
have been so considerable that the Government find themelres in the possession of a handsome surplus. The revenue
of the new financial year, based on existing taxation, is
estimated at £88,480,000, and the expenditure at £85,789,000,
showing an excess of £3,691,000. This is to be disposed of

01<1 Colony.— At a special meeting of the stockholders of the

notes or bonds to meet matnring indebtedness also to increase

the capital stock of the company to $12,000,000.

St. Lonis & San Francisco. This company has ja.st completed 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 ia Europe.
The bonds run for fifty years, and are payable in gold. They
are issued under the company's general mortgage, which provides for an ultimate issue of not exceeding $30,000,000 of
bonds, of which sufficient amounts are set aside and appropriated to provide for, by exchange or otherwise, the previous
bonded indebtedness of the company. All the residue of the
authorized issue of bonds, over and above an amount sufficient
for the old indebtedness, can be used only to pay for new lines,
extensi.jns and acquisitions, and the mortgage constitutes a first
lien on all such properties built or acquired with the proceeds
At present these consist of the extension of the
of the bonds
company's main line from Pacific, Mo., to St. Lonis, including
the purchase of a large amount of valuable real estate in the
latter city for depots, stations and terminal facilities ; the extension of its Arkansas division from Fayetteville to Fort Smith ;
(he construction of a line from Joplin, Mo., to Galena, Kansas,
and also of a line from Springfield, Mo., in a southerly direction (all forming a part of a general and connected system of
roads), together with a large amount of rolling stock equipment pnrcha.sed in connection with this construction, upon which
the mortgage securing these bonds is a first lien. When the
prior bonded indebtedness of the company is retired and canceled, the general mortgage becomes the first lien on all of the
company's
lines
and properties.

City. Mayor Bartlett, of San Francisco,
recently vetoed a bill which authorized the issue of bonds to
the amount of .?500,000 to meet a deficiency in current municipal expensr-s of $250,000. The Mayor thinks bonds should not
be issued to meet current expenses, and that there is no necessity for issuing $500,000 for a deficiency of $250,000.
According
to a recent statement in the S(in Francisco Bulletin, it costs
that city about $5,300,000 a year to carry on its municipal
San Francisco
government.

to sell any part thereof whenever it may be deemwl lid^isable. the
proceeds to lie applied to the re<lemption of the collateral trust bunds.
•'The bonds are. therefore, amply secured, first by the deposit of
securities valued at nearly double the amount of the entire collateral
trust loan, and second by the guarantee of the St. Louis Iron Mountain

For several years that enterprising corporation, the Maveriek
National Bank of Boston, has published, for distribution among
its patrons, an annual containing important information upon various financial matters. That for 1883 is a volume of one hundred

About one-third of the volume is devoted to matters pertaining
to United States bonds, in which the Maverick Bank has been,
and is, an extensive dealer. An answer ts given to many questions which are frequently asked. For instance, we are told
how many private individuals own registered bonds; the number of holders of large amounts and of small amounts; the
number of bondholders in each State; the number of bondholders in the principal cities; the number of coupon bonds held in
this country and in foreign countries, etc., etc. A similar space

State and Railroad Bonds. State bonds have been very
sluggish and there have hardly been transactions enough to
make live quotations. To- day old Tennessee Os 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 niany
anomalies in the relative prices of railroad bonds, and it is
often found that the bonds on unfinished roads or roads without 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
profit, the selection should be carefully made.
—
Railroad and Miscellaneons Stocks. The stock market
has been irregular, and prices have at times shown much
weakness. There was a re-action in some stocks which had
recently advanced the most rapidly, and this had more or
less influence on the whole market, while at the same time
tlie old bear party that has operated so heavily in the past six
montlis, again renewed its attacks witli the customary crop
of rumors and assumptions. There were also matters of fact
which had sometliing to do witli the weakness in certain
stocks, and tlie 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
dividend. In consequence of tliis the Northwest stocks fell
off sharplj', though recovering a good part of the decline
prior to the close to-day. Wabash common and preferred
were also weak, but closed better on Mr. Gould's circular explaining 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 exliibit of
earnings, but some of them show a large increase in bonded
obligations, and many of these bonds have been issued for
properties which probably cannot pay well for some years to
come. It would therefore not be surprising if income should
be reduced somewhat for a few years, while such new properties are progressing in their development.

practicable line, 488 miles in length, from Chicago to a connection with the Union Pacific and other railroads at the Missouri
Biver. On the Iowa & Dakota divisi jn a branch has been constructed from Spencer to Lake Okoboji, 17 miles ; and the
Emmetsburg branch has been extended 7 miles to Eatherville."
Altogether there has been 119 miles added to the company's

"In Wisconsin, a branch has been constructed
from Brandon on the northern division, to Markesan, 12 milesj
and the railway of the Chippewa Valley & Superior Railway

a branch 3 miles in length, from Galewood, on the Chicago &

In Minnesota a branch has been
constructed from a point on the river division, near Hastings,

on the Running Water branch of the Iowa & Dakota division,
27 miles, and one from Mitchell, on the main line of the Iowa
& Dakota divisioa, north to Letcher, 14 miles. These increase
the mileage in Dakota 41 miles; and make a total increase of

Kansas City Fort Scott & Gulf Railroad.
{Fo7- the year ending Dec. 31, 1882.)
The report for 1882 gives the net revenue as $765,369, out of
which was paid interest and sinking funds and 8 pe^' cent on
preferred and 3 per cent on common stock paid Feb., 1883, and
some other small items, leaving $24,713 surplus income for the
year. The assets held for the equipment and speoiaUmprovement fund, January 1, 1883, were valued on the books at
$245,343. The expenditures in 1882 for construction and equipment were $182,066, which has been provided for from this
special fund, leaving on hand Januarjr i, 1883, assets valued at
£63,277 applicable to future construction or equipment charges.
The bonded debt of this company was reduced during the
year by the purchase of $124,400 bonds from cash received
from the land department. The net amount to be realized
from the land assets still remaining for the purchase of bonds
is estimated at about $400,000, after $50,000 paid March, 1883.
The bonded debt of the leased lines (principal and interest of
which is guaranteed by this company) has been increased during the year 1882 by the sale of $232,000 Fort Scott Southeastern & Memphis Railroad Company 7 per cent bonds $103,000
Short Creek & Joplin Railroad Company 7 per cent bonds
$212,000 Kansas & Mis.souri Railroad Company 5 percent bonds.
;
;
The proceeds
Fort Scott Southeastern & Memphis Railroad Company's bonds were used for the further construction
and equipment of that road. The proceeds of the Short Creek
& Joplin Railroad Company's bonds were used for the extension
of that company's road frjm Joplin to Webb City
The proceeds of the Kansas & Missouri Railroad Comoany's bonds were
used on account of the cost of the road (26-18 miles) from Coalvale to a connection with the Memphis Kansas & Colorado Railway near Cherokee. There remained January 1, 1883, $178,000
more of the Kansas & Missouri Railroad Company's 5 per cent
bonds received for constructing the 26'18 miles of road, and
they will be issued during the year 1883.
The following statement, prepared for the Chronicle, gives
the operations and fiscal results, not including the 50 miles of
narrow-gauge road (which during the year was widened to
standard gauge). The income account, however, includes all
lines, the difference in net earnings as stated being due to a
deficit of $6,000 in 1880 and $9,000 iu 1881, and a profit of
$50,745 in 1882 on the narrow-gauge road

Pacific Railway Company has made application to
have its above collateral trust 5 per cent bonds placed on the
regular list of the Stock Exchange.
It is known that for a year or more there has been a difference cf opinion between the officers of the Interior Department
and the offlcrs of the Pacific Railroads as to what constitutes
the net earnings of the railroads according to the Thurman
Act.
The Washington dispatch to the Tribune, April 16, said
that no suit has yet been instituted by the Department of Justice
against the Union Pacific Railway Company, as requested by
the Secretary of the Interior in his letter of February 2, trans-
The Union
—
mitting the letter and recommendations of the Commissioner of
Railroads. In that letter Commissioner Armstrong says that
the controversy involves the question " What are ' net earnings' under the first section of the act of May 7, 1878 ?" and
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 con.stitute " net earnings,"
which decisions, however, were not based upon the act of 1878,
the Commissioner says he has in.sisted that expen.ses 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 PaciJc Railroad
Company, reserving whatever rights it may po.sse.«s 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 construction which if allowed would reduce its indebtedness to the Government 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 indebtedness to December 31, 1880, which tender was refused by the
Government. The settlement fur the year 1882 has not yet
been made, but the Commissioner estimates that it will increase the total balance claimrd 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 Government, and also to obtain a judicial construction of the act of

The weather has greatly improved the past week, bat the
naTigatiuD of the great lakes on our northern frontier is not yet
resumed, and there is general complaint of dull trade. Speoalation in the principal domrstio staples has been quite active,
but \alues are uofettled, and the tone of the markets fitful and
uncertain, under conflicting and somewhat uncertain iufluenoea.
The provision market has shown a very favorable state of
affairs.
The advauces have not been sharp, nor the reactions
important, but the general tone is quite satisfactory. A good
feature has been the steady sales of pork for consumption and
«iport; to-day mess pork sold on the spot at |19 25((J$19 50; extra prime, $15 75@.fl6i family, $20@f21 123^( clear back, $22 215.

Rio coffee has been dull and closed at a dec'ine to 9Jlc. for
fair cargoes on the spot; options have steadily declined, owing
to liberal receipts at Rio de Janeiro, and to-day there were sales
of No. 7 at 7 7.')@7'85c. for May; 7 95@8-05c. for June; 8-25®
8-30C. for July; 8-35@8 40c. for August, and 8-55®8-65c. for October; mild grades have continued to sell freely, anj in the fore
part of the week brought firm prices, but latterly in sympathy
with Rio the tone has weakened; ihe supply of Maracaibo is
considerably reduced, and Java is not at all plentiful; much of
the Central American coffee is being sent to Europe, and 2,000
bags of Caracas were shipped to-day. Rice has been fairly
active and firm at last week's prices.
Bonded spices are firm
pending the abolition of the duty, while spices on which the
tariff has been paid are weak, there being little d-'raand.
Foreign fruits have been quiet and without marked change. Tea
has declined slightly at auction. Refining mohsses has sold
fairly at 31)6e. for Cuba 50-deg. test, and a moderate trade in
grocery grades has taken place at steady prices; 57c. is usually
the highest price obtainable for New Orleans. Raw sugar has

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

holders much confidence. To-day the market was quiet and
unchanged, middling uplands closing at lOJ^c.

India Cotton Movexrnt from all Ports. We have darinj
the past year been endeavoring to rearrange oar India servic j
so as to make oar reports more detailed and at th^ same tim*
more accurate. Hitherto we have found it impossible to keep
out of our figures, as cabled to us for the ports other thaa
Bombay, cargoes which proved only to be shipm-^nts fr.)m one
India port to another. The plan we have now adopted, as we
have reason to believe, will relieve us from the danger of this
inaccuracy and keep the totals correct.
We first give the
Bombay statement for the week and year, bringing the figures
down to April 19.

" With exception of cold, March
has been remarkably favorable. There have been no heavy
^maginif rains. Corn has been planted in fine condition, and
the same will be true of cotton unless we have heavy rains
8ooa."
Ifacon, Bibb Co. Oar oorre.spondent at this point writes
"Most of the month of March has been too cold, with
light frost.
Farm work is progres-sing favorably. Corn is
coming np, and planters are now preparing their land for
vottou. Ab'int the same amount of fertilizer is being sold as
last year.
Area in c )tton will be fully as large as last year."
Rome, Floful Co.— Mr. T. F. Howel in his circular of April
" The weather is warm and favorable for farm work
13, says
but we have not yet heard of any cotton planting in this section ; on 14th of last April we noted ' the early plantings were
coming np,' and in the spring of 1881 we reported first planting
on lltn of April. Active preparations are going on, and with
good weather we will have some increase in acreage and aboat
the same quantity of fertilizers as was used in 1881, except
that much more of it has been made at home."

Our correspondent
at this point writes " Farmers are briskly preparing their
cotton lands."
Tbxas—Correspondents of the Galveston News write as follows:
Oiddingf, Zee Co , April U. " Farming interests are on
a boom. Never snch prospects at this stage of the season
before known in this part of the State. Two thirds of the
cotton crop of this county is up and a good stand put in. Grood
stands of corn are reported from every part of the county."
Navasota, Crimes Co., April 11.—" The weather is dry,
clear and warm, and farmers are so busy that very few come
in town except on Saturday.
The roads are much better and
cotton is brought in every day. sent in mostly by Anderson
merchants or country merchants."

Egvptias Cottos.— Mr. Fritz Andres of Liverpool writes as
follows in a letter to the Manchester Guardian, of April 2,
urging the importance of forming an association for increasing
the supply of Egyptian cotton. He claims that though Egypt
is
capable of supplying all England wants of the particular
cotton that country produces, yet at present the
styles of
snpply from Egypt is too precarious to be depended upon by
the spinning interest* of Great Britain. Hence he urges the
formation of an association interested in the production of that
particular staple, and suggests the following points as those
which should engage its attention
:

Impertiil enactment.

Wheat has
from two to three cents per bashel, owing
partly to an advance at the West and in Earope, partly to
unfavorable reports respectlncr the winter wheat, and partly to
covering by the shorts. Some days ago the outlook at the
West appeared more favorable. It was stated that with good
weather in the fatare, much <if 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 annually being 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 reports from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kansas, while conflicting,
were sufficient to cause considerable covering both here and
at Chicago and an advance in both marketit. It is claimed, on
risen
the other baud, 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 %c. to l)6e. No. 2 red sold at $1 2U@$1 20%
for April, .f 1 20%®?! 3IM for Mav. *1 22J2@$1 23M for June,

Oil 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 wheat
less favorable.
Indian corn has been fairly active at an advance of nearly
3 cents for No. 2 mixed and 6 cents for No. 3 mixed, the latter
