The weather this week has been rather
unseasonable, but as winter wheat is back¬
ward, this has not been a positively harmful influence. The

prolongation of cold weather, however, has interfered
materially with spring business, and as a consequence
we And many
branches of trade complaining of dull¬
ness and
inactivity. The iron industry, too, continues
in an unsettled state, owing to a further decline in
some
of the manufactured articles.
Still, all these are regarded as mere temporary draw¬
backs, which will readily yield to the progress of time.
For instance, the iron industry must soon adjust itself to
changed condition of affairs in that branch of trade,
and a proper equilibrium between production and con¬
sumption be established, as well as a more nearly even
scale of wages for the different sections of the country be
the
devised.
Then
a
milder temperature can
hardly be much
longer delayed, and with more propitious growing weather
a decided improvement in the state of the crops will take
place. Indeed, already there are very encouraging signs
in the sections least affected by the past week’s cold
of very heavy damage to the wheatplant on account of winter killing, so prevalent a month
ago, have been considerably modified, and in many dis¬
tricts very pronounced progress for the better has been
made since the first of April, though of course the
plant is still backward, and has, therefore, as said at the
outset, been but little if any affected by the cold tempera¬
ture of the past week.
At the same time this cold weather
has not interfered with spring planting, and everywhere
in the farming districts the work has been actively prose¬
cuted during the last ten days. The outlook for the crops,,
therefore, is not unpromising at the moment, and as rail¬
road earnings, though not as heavy as they have been,
still continue large and above the corresponding period
last year, and as money is easy and flowing toward this
centre, and as there is a fair export movement in progress
accompanied by a smaller import movement, with foreign
exchange tending toward lower figures by reason of railroad
loans negotiated abroad, as there are all these fav¬
orable influences,
a
most hopeful feeling prevails,
though it is not to be denied that operations are con¬
ducted with extreme caution, and that there is a very
general disposition to await the outcome of the crops
before engaging upon ventures of a large or difficult char¬
acter.
And this disposition is well reflected in the trans¬
actions at the Stock Exchange, where prices fluctuate
within very narrow iimits, and speculation is halting,
timid, uncertain, and business insufferably dull.
As to the probable yield of wheat, it is manifestly too early
as yet to form any kind of judgment.
Under the most fav¬
orable conditions the out-turn of the winter variety cannot
ordinarily be determined before the latter part of May,
and this season,with the backwardness of the plant so patent,
definite information will probably not be possible until
well on in June.
So far as is known at present, California
and the Pacific States, which furnished about 47 million
bushels in 1882, have not suffered any very great amount
of loss, unless indeed the rumors now current of damage
weather.

The reports
by insects prove true ; and the deficiency in the States of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and
Nebraska, which supply but little less than one-half
production of wheat, will not, it is estimated,
amount to over 20 per cent, with the conditions favorable
the rest ©f the season.
If this should prove to be the
case, the loss in winter wheat may be in great part made
up by the increased acreage of spring grain, so that the
harvest of both kinds might not be a great deal less than
last year.
Still, so much depends upon the future, that it
is not well to place too great reliance upon early estimates.
Railroad earnings have latterly been somewhat less

rates were again marked up a fraction. The market, how¬
ever, is barely steady at the advance, and very quiet. Com¬
mercial bills are scarce and those that are offered are quickly
absorbed, as also are the bills drawn against loans negotiated
abroad. It is reported that part of the $3,000,000 collateral
trust loan of the Union Pacific has been placed in Europe,
and it is probable that the bills against it have already been
sold.
Still, the demand for sterling is quite irregu

There is some inquiry from importers who are
remitting for goods, but the principal demand comes from
bankers to settle credits. There is very little doing in secu'
rities between here and Europe, although there appears to
be a moderate inquiry for first-class investment properties.

it is scarcely necessary for us to
say that the State Railroad Commissioners’ report, on that
subject, pleases us. Yet it is not alone or chiefly because
we agree with
its conclusions that we are gratified; for
the judicious manner in which the Commissioners state
their opinions, as well as the actual results reached upon
the points covered by their investigations, are alike credit¬

cannot help being pleased with

With reference to many
of the
vexed
questions in controversy, the Commissioners are as
as most
persons to determine the relative merits
of opposing views of law, propriety and facts.
For
instance, on the important issue as to whether discount on
bonds sold should be counted as part of capital actually
expended in building the roads, they simply assume the
negative side of the controversy, without apparently either
advocating or rejecting that view, though they take pains
to state that it “is the most disadvantageous view possible
to the roads.”
Then again, on the question whether the
reduction in fare would produce less than ten per cent on
the capital expended, they frankly admit that they cannot
give any intelligent answer. While as to the item of
taxation—which is important as reducing net profits—
they pursue the same course adopted with reference to
little able
the discount
on
bonds.

But, further, this report is especially gratifying because
operation of the law under which the Commissioners
were
appointed caused general solicitude ; the anticipated
manner of its execution
being judged by the spirit in
which the law was passed.
Hence, the entrance of the
board upon its work might be, it was feared, the begin¬
ning of a policy of reckless interference with vested rights,
and of general antagonism to railroad management
scarcely less disturbing. The prevailing idea was, that as
the less conservative sentiment prevailed in the passage of
the act, fares would perhaps be heedlessly reduced, as a
consequence of recommendations by the Commissioners ;
that little regard would be paid to a company’s needs or
financial status or the effect upon it of a certain line of
action; and that, in a word, the railroads and their neces¬
sities and prosperity would be subordinated to what are
the
termed the “needs” and desires of “the

was,
consequently, as we have said, not a little
anxiety felt by the more conservative classes as to
the operation of the law.
It is needless to remark,
therefore, that the report of the Commissioners, following
so closely upon the veto of
the Five-Cent-Fare Bill by
Governor Cleveland, has strengthened confidence, showing,
these acts
as
do, that there is to be no absurd contest be-
capital and what are called “ the people’s rights,” but
attempt to reach a correct judgment on all points
which are or may be in dispute respecting railroad man¬
agement—the Commission apparently believing that there
are two sides to every question, not excepting those cases
where a railroad is a party.
In this case, the majority
report of the Commissioners is in favor of non action;
while even the minority report—signed by Mr. O’Donnell,

THE ATLANTIC A PACIFIC
When a-Commission
supposed indignation of the
people with railroad management is practically unanimous
against reducing fares at all hours, and the most pro¬
nounced anti monopolist on the Board can not see his
way
■clear to any recommendation stronger than a “ judicious
extension ” of the five-cent hours, lest the roads be
seriously
crippled in their operations, is it not evident that there is
nothing behind the cry about “ cheap ” fares except the use
it serves as a political catch-word.
If there was any real
grievance, any ground for supporting a uniform reduction,
Mr. O’Donnell, who is known to be especially zealous
in such matters—in fact is in the advance guard of
anti¬
monopolists—would certainly have discovered it and have
reported in favor of such a policy, instead of contenting
himself with a simple recommendation for the extension
of the commission hours.
In our estimation a plan has
never been adopted or devised by
any road that combined
so many advantages as that in force over the Elevated
system, more particularly in its giving cheap transporta¬
tion to the laboring classes during the hours when those
classes patronize the roads, and compelling the richer,
lazier and self-indulgent part of the population to bear the

The
junction of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad with the
Mojave extension of the Southern Pacific of California, soon to
be made at the Colorado River, will mark another
era
in the
construction of trans-continental lines in the United States.
The Atlantic & Pacific, sometimes called the
thirty-fifth
parallel road, was created by act of Congress approved July 27
1866, which provided for a line from Springfield, in Southwestern
Missouri, to the Pacific Coast, a distance of about 2,000 miles,
with a land grant amounting in all to some 42,000,000 of acres.
Soon after its incorporation, the projectors of the
enterprise
set vigorously to work.
They had the right to consolidate the
Atlantic & Pacific with other lines, and in pursuance of that
right acquired the South Pacific of Missouri, in operation from
Pacific, Mo., to Pierce City, Mo., a distance of 255 miles, and
extensions were subsequently made from Pierce
City, to
Seneca, the Western boundary, and in September, 1871, to
Vinita in the Indian Territory, 364 miles from St. Louis.
After the railroad crisis of 1873-5 the Atlantic & Pacific
was
reorganized (in 1876) under the name of the St. Louis & San
Francisco, retaining the right to build the uncompleted por¬
tion of the Atlantic & Pacific, according to the
original charter.
In 1880, the country being again blessed with
prosperity, and
the St. Louis & San Francisco sharing in it, the latter once
more entered
upon the work of building the thirty-fifth par¬
allel road, and strengthened itself
financially by an alliance
with the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe, each
company taking a
half interest in the new road and giving it an
important traffic
guarantee,
as
referred to below.
Work has thus far been confined mainly to what is called the
Western Division, from Albuquerque to the Colorado

Still, the interests of the State, no less than those of innocent
investors, required that there should be no departure from
strict justice and impartiality.
If the Commissioners deal with other questions
coming
before them, in the same spirit of fairness, .it will not be
long before their decisions will be respected by all classes
of the community.

between the Southern Pacific and the Atlantic & Pacific

For grazing purposes in a large way the country around
and beyond the San Francisco mountains cannot be excelled.
Cattle can range all the year without being housed. The aver¬
age annual increase of stock may be put at 33 per cent. The
rainfall may be stated as equal to 6 inches per year, both in
New Mexico and Arizona. The average rainfall at Santa Fe,
New Mexico, is 10 inches, and Fort Yuma 3 inches. The climate
is equal to the most favored portions of Europe. The winters
are mild, and stock roam the pastures the year round.
The
average winter temperature at Santa Fe, N. M., is 35 degrees,
and in other parts of New Mexico much milder. Ice is formed
but seldom during the winter. There are occasionally snow¬
falls on the Sierra Madre of 8 to 10 inches, which lies on the
ground but a few days. The average summer temperature in
the Rio Grande valley is about 65 degrees, with an occasional
maximum of 90 to 95 degrees, rarely higher than 100 degrees,
even in July or August; but the evenings and nights are always
cool and pleasant, and blankets are always used for comfort at
night. For Northern Arizona the same statement is applicable,

than in New Mexico. There is no region more healthful than

Gold.—The influx of £53,000 into tlio Bank consists of sovereigns,which
have been r ceived from the East and from the Continent.. There have
been orders for India and Spain which have absorbed all arrivals of bars,
and the demands for Holland, which have been rather considerable,
have been met by the withdrawal from the Bank of Dutch coin, to the
value of £477,000. We have received since our last £12,190 from the
East, £1,(580 from Alexandria, £74,000 from Australia, £10.000 from
the Wast Indies; total £100,870. The Clyde has taken £15,000 to In¬
dia.
Silver.—Prices have given way since our last circular, and the silver
by the Pacific steamer has been placed at 50%L; it is doubtful if that
price could to-day be realized, the exchanges from the East be coming
weaker, in consequence of the lower rates at which the India Council
yesterday sold their drafts and telegraphic transfers. The arrivals
comprise £35,000 from New York, £3o,000 from Chile, and £5.000
from the West Indies. The P. A O. steamer has taken £05,000 to India.
Mexican Dollars have also declined in value from 49%d. to 49%d. per
oz.
The amounts to hand have been £33,100 from New York. The
French steamer lias arrived at Sr. Nazaire with about £ 140,OOo on
board; these will not be deliverable for a day or two.
Our quotation
for to-day is 493sd. per oz. “nearest.” The P. A O. steamer has taken
to-day £123,100 to China and the Straits.

—The following office changes are noticed, which will take
place on May 1, among friends and subscribers of the Chronicle :
by flood, the State Legislature authorized this issue of
(limited to $200,000;, to repair levees in District No. 2,
composed of the counties of Bolivar, Washington, Issaquena
and Sharkey, payment secured* by taxon cotton and real and
personal property of said counties. The United States Govern¬
ment has expended about $300,000 in this district, which, with
the $200,(100 of the Home Board, has put the line of levees,
214 miles in length, in a condition ot reasonable security.
The
Board has no other bonds outstanding but these $200,000.
—The Manhattan Safe Deposit & Storage Company, 346 and
348 Broadway, corner of Leonard Street, occupy a central posi¬
tion which must prove very convenient to a large number of
merchants. The ample storage facilities for the safe-keeping of
bulky valuables is an attractive feature of the Manhattan
Company. Mr. Wm. II. Appleton of the publishing firm of D.
Appleton & Co., is the President of the company. See card in

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—The money
has become perceptibly easier, and every indication
market
now
points toward s
balance of this
an
abundant supply of funds during the
season.
supply of bankers’ bills from the negotiation of loans
abroad must amount to a considerable item in the foreign
exchanges, and more of such bills will probably be made from
time to time if the foreign markets will readily absorb the
loans. But the public seldom hears of the particulars of these
negotiations until the bills drawn against them have been
wholly or partly disposed of.
In the stock market stagnation has again set in, and oper¬
ators appear to be waiting for the crops to grow up before
they form a decided opinion as to the course of prices. It is
also observable that there is no strong support given by the
distinguished bulls who in former years have done so much to
promote the starting of a boom in stocks. And this leads to
the reflection that the large amount of stocks and bonds
created in the past three years is yet carried in large part by
the railroad kings, the managers and contractors, who were in
the original syndicates that constructed most of the 28,000
miles of railroad built in 1880, 1881 and 1882.
Collateral trust loans have become quite popular of late, and
now the Central of New Jersey has determined to put in trust
its various holdings of what lawyers call choses in action,
amounting to a nominal value of $5,000,000, and raise
$2,000,000 in money to get a discharge from the Receiver’s
hands. These collateral trust loans are too new, as yet, to
enable bankers to form a mature opinion of them, but good as
they may be, it is evident that so far they have been used
mostly by companies whose loa d of mortgage liens was pretty
full, and whose borrowing capacity on plain debenture bonds
at any price near par was questionable.
The money market has become easier, and stock brokers have
paid 4 to 6 per cent for call loans, while government bond
dealers have been supplied at 3@4 per cent. Prime commer¬
cial paper is quoted at 5@6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a decrease in specie of £73,000, and the percentage of reserve
to liabilities was 38 3-16, against 37 7-16 last week ; the dis¬
count rate remains at 3 per cent.
The Bank of France gained
3,025,000 francs gold and 425,000 francs silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of April 21 showed a net gain of $913,625 in their reserves,
making a surplus of $624,275 above the legal limit, against a
deficit of $289,350 April 14,

Railroad and Miscellaneous
Stocks.—The market has
weakness, particularly in special stocks, and the
volume of business has been small. It is unquestionably a dis¬
shown
some
appointment to many holders of stocks that after the market
had taken a fair start three weeks ago, and gave promise of a
healthy active movement, it should again sag off and relapse
into such a dull condition. It is possible that some of the
large operators availed themselves of the advance to realize on
a part of their holdings, but whether or not this was so to any
great extent, it seems obvious that they are doing little or
nothing to advance the general list.
Mr. Gould leases the Wabash to the Missouri Pacific (prac¬
tically), and if this was expected to advance the Wabash
stocks and remove them as a weak spot from the market, it
has not so far been successful, and the lease is not followed
by heavy buying in the Gould interest; on the contrary,
Wabash common sold to-day as low as 28% and preferred 46,
closing respectively at 29% and 46%. It is just announced that
the transfer of the control of the Han. & St. Jo. to the Bur.
& Quincy has been completed by the signing of the contract
for the transfer of $7,500,000 of the common stock.
The offer
of C. B. & Q. 5 per cent bonds at par to holders of pref. stock
will also probably be made.
Louisville & Nashville has been
particularly weak, but no fact has been stated against the com¬
pany, and the rumors made use of are so improbable as to give
the impression of stock-jobbing purposes. I'he Denver & Rio
Grande report for 1882 is out; and having obtained an early
copy, an abstract is given on another page.
Railroad earnings
continue to be very good, but scarcely show such an increase

of showing that after deducting all fixed and other

there is a surplus of $375,792. Interest necessarily forms part

board of trustees has considered it
advisable to show on the books

in accordance with the consolidated mortgage, on the average
mileage completed and in operation during the year, say 1,100
miles.. The income account, as stated in the Comptroller’s
report, shows the manner in which this is arrived at—the diference
between $1,277,010 interest and $932,925 ==$344,085,
being charged to cost of construction, leaving to the credit of
income account, as result of the year’s operations $719,877.
The principal of rolling stock trusts paid off during 1882
was $338,COO.
The payment for this account in 1883 will be
increased to $538,000—bv reason of the addition of two new
$1,000,000'each—which, owing to the lease of the
Denver & Rio Grande Western Railway by your company,
became a necessity. It will be seen from the general account
in the Comptroller’s report, that your company has already
paid off $805,455 of these rolling stock trusts.
The original cost of rolling stock acquired through trusts
was $4,518,455, of which, as above stated, $805,455 has already
been paid off, and $100,000 additional will be paid on March 1,

At the date of last

the gross earnings of your road for the year
have kept pace with the increased mileage. We regret
say
that this expectation was not realized, partly because
industries have received a severe check in Colorado by failure of
interested parties to advance new capital, and
both passenger and freight rates were

months of the year, which reduced the earnings of your lines
to much lower figures than was anticipated.” * * *
partly because

operating expenses were 59 66 per cent of the gross
receipts, but this included the re-building of eightv-one cars (at
a cost of over $50,000), which had been destroyed during this
and previous years, as also the substitution of steel for iron
rails on forty miles of road south of Pueblo.” * * *

the lease are, that
your company pay the lessor company 40 per cent of the gross
receipts of the leased line, if that sum is sufficient to pay the
interest on its bonds. If not sufficient to pay the interest, then
your company guarantees payment of a sum equal to six
per cent on $16,000 per mile of finished road which has been
transferred to and accepted by your company for operation.
The maximum amount of bonds guaranteed by the lease is
$7,500,000 at 6 per cent. On August 1, 1882, 155 miles of road
were transferred to your company for operation under the
terms of the lease.
Daring the five mouths it has been in
operation, the net profits to your company on 60 per cent of
gross receipts, which it receives, under the terms of the lease
for operating, was $36,771, which is ascertained as follows :

about $400,000 per annum, which would require $1,000,000
gross earnings. It is not unreasonable to expect from the
business done during the past five months on 155 miles of de¬
tached line that the gross earnings of the whole line when put
in operation will reach at least $1,500,000 per annum, which, if
realized, would give the Denver & Rio Grande Western Com¬
pany a surplus of $200,000 for distribution to its stockholders.
Gross earnings of $2,000,000 per annum would enable the
Western Company to pay nearly 6 percent on its capital stock.”

in exchange, said stock to have a voting power the same as the
present (common) stock. If the plan is matured, and it is likely
to be, it is probable that the amount of preferred stock issued
will be $11,000,000, ihe improvements made on the road since
the incomes were issued being considered a justifiable basis
for this increase. The balance of stock above that required to
retire the incomes would go into the treasury, to be used for
the benefit of the property. The idea is to stock the road to
the sum of $30,000,000, including the Cincinnati Northern,
which will become a part of the Toledo Cincinnati & St. Louis
in May.
The income bonds are a 6 per cent security and can
never earn more, whereas it is possible that the
preferred stock
might receive a larger income in comparatively few years and
sell at a premium.
On this ground it is thought that the
holders of the incomes will be willing to make the
exchange.
The impiovements on the road are being made as fast as the
unds of the company will allow.”

accompanied by heavy rains, occurred
early in the present week in several of the Southern, and
some of the Western, States, causing the loss of
many lives,
and the destruction of much property. These were followed
by bright but cold weather, reports of frost and ice being made
from middle latitudes, but to-day the temperature is again
spring-like. The Erie Canal will be open for navigation on

cessive. New State factory cheese is weak at 10@13^c., but
old stock is firm at 12@15c. for good to fancy.
Rio coffee has been very quiet on the spot and closes nomina 1
at 9%c. for fair cargoes; options have been fairly active and
after frequent fluctuations close higher for No. 7, compared
with a week ago, at 7'80@7*85c. for May, 8T0@8*15c. for June,
8‘30@8 35c. for July, 8'45@8'50c. for Aug., 8'G0@8*65c. for Sept*
and 8,65@8,75c. for Oct.; trade was dull to-day, however, and
the large receipts at Rio de Janeiro tend to depress prices; mild
grades have been less active and more or less depressed. Tea
has sold lower at auction. Spices have been dull.
Foreign
fruits have been quiet and without marked change. Refining
molasses has been quiet and a sale was made to-day at 31c. for
50 degrees test, though the closing was firmer and 31 ^c. gene¬
rally asked; grocery grades have sold fairly at steady prices.
Raw sugar has been somewhat more active; Muscavado is scarce
and firm at 6 15-16@7c.; centrifugal is plentiful and barely
steady at 7 ll-16c. for 96 degrees test from store; this grade
has sold ex-ship at 7%c. Refined closes firmer with a better
demand; powdered 8%@9c.; granulated 8%c.; crushed 9%c.;
standard “A” 8%@8%c.
The market for Kentucky tobacco has continued very quiet.
The export demands are particularly slow. While no changes
in prices can be noted, it cannot be said that holders are very
steady in their views; sales 39 hhds. for consumption and 50
hhds. for export; lugs quoted 5^@6%c.; leaf 7@10^c. Seed
leaf remains steady, although the movement was again very
moderate. Late sales include 300 cases 1882 crop Now England
seconds and fillers at private terms; 50 cases 1881 crop New Eng¬
land at 13@18c.; 200 cases 1880 crop Pennsylvania at 9@14c.;
350 cases 1880-81 crops Ohio at 4%@S/£c; 400 bales Havana at
88c. @$1 IS; and 200 bales Sumatra at$l 10@$1 40.
Naval stores have shown irregularity; while rosins have
remained steady at $1
75 for common to good strained,
spirits turpentine has dropped to 45c. for Southern and 45^c.
for New York barrels; at these figures a large export business
was done.
Refined petroleum for export has declined, in sym¬
pathy with the severe break in United Pipe .Line certificates;
110 test is now 8c. and 70 test 8i3c.
Crude certificates have had
a serious decline, and a very heavy speculation has been re¬
ported; to-day there was a recovery from 85c. to89%c„ with the
market closing at 88%c.
Ingot copper is more steady, owing
week
to smaller
stocks; Lake sold at 15%@16c., and other brands at
15@15^2C.
The decline in American and Scotch pig irons has
resulted in a better movement.
Steel rails have been more
active for future delivery at $3S at the mills.
Linseed oil sells
well at 56@57c. for city; prime lard oil is strong 92@94c.
Ocean freight-room in the matter of berth tonnage has been
weak and daily lower, with only a small business.

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 ado
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of tinweekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

weather farming operations were greatly interfered with, but
the farmers are beginning to catch up with th$ir work,and larger

Is is needless to
eav
that the condition of affairs

ported is not attributable to the indolence of our farmers, but
to the unusually bad and inclement weather for the past two
or
three months.”
Yorkville, York Co.—The Charleston News and Courier's
correspondent at Yorkville, on April 16, says : “ The farming
interests of this section have been considerably retarded this
spring by the continued rains, but the weather has been fine
for the past week, and if it continues a few days longer, thou¬
sands of acres of cotton and corn will be planted.”
Georgia—Rome, Floyd Co.—Mr. T. F. Howell’s circular of
April 20 has the following : “ ‘ Planting ’ has become general,
but interrupted more or less by the rains ; we think about 25
per cent of the lands intended for cotton have been planted, and
occasionally we hear of some ‘ coming up.’ The lands have
been well prepared and labor is abundant and efficient; the
only complaint is that we are a week or ten days later than the
average.”

that cotton is coming up. There is a good stand and the plant
has a healthy appearance.

April 17.—“ Farming operations are now
going on all over the county, with the usual vigor; some culti¬

few low places are overflowed or about to be overflowed ; and
others again, not overflowed, afraid to plant for fear the
present rise will come and sweep away the crop and seriously
injure the freshly plowed surface soil.”
