that Europe,
aside from the purchases of securities, which we are per¬
suaded have not been large, is in a condition to take gold
in considerable amounts from us at any moment, and the
only reason why it has not been taken to a greater
extent is because money is at present a drug in Europe,
and there is nothing to be done with it when it gets there.
While this uncertain condition lasts, the feeling among con¬
servative classes cannot fail to be one of quiet waiting.
Tn the meantime foreign exchange remains just below
the danger line, not justifying shipments, but permitting
them.
Public attention has been mainly directed to the
rates for sterling, and Continental exchanges have, as it
were, escaped notice.
The latter are, however, now closer
to the gold-exporting point than they have been for months.
It is not impossible that some of the foreign bankers may
be compelled shortly to resort to shipments direct to the
Continent, being unable to procure bills for remittance at

Continent and hence the demand for remittance in settle¬

There is very little commercial sterling making,
the supply of bankers’ bills is very light, and easy money
in London has stimulated the demand for long sterling to
such an extent that the market is quite bare of almost
everything of this character.
Thus, the condition of the market being so near the
gold-shipping point, it requires only a very slight demand
to advance it. The rates for sterling have been kept down
only by considerable exertion.

harmful. We are not arguing now
injustice of such interference with
vested rights, but simply of the
delicacy of the work the
State is undertaking, and hence the need for extreme
carefulness and unquestioned integrity in execution.
Then, again, we all know how intimately our entire
commerce
and railroad
system—one
being the life of the
other—are connected,
and what nice questions would,
therefore, await the decision of a railroad commission
affecting all our material interests. New York Stato in¬

respect, presenting
very complex problems for adjustment; the State pro¬

How can these problems be met and

unbiased judgment.
And if they are not so treated,
what confusion might not our whole commerce be thrown
into.
This danger is not overdrawn.

There are, however, many sincere believers in the
policy
of the State taking charge of railroads—of such we would
ask, do not these discussions and revelations at Albany
help to put this question in'a clearer light ? We have heard
much about the power of railroads in
politics, but, by
confession, here is to be a new arrangement to simply
concentrate that power and thus make it more obedient
to the will of the
party organizer. For working the
machine, it is not necessary that there. should be any
actual corrupt bargain that can be disclosed or traced back
to any officer.
All that is neoessary is for the party col¬
lector to go around among the railroads
pretty much in the
same manner as he does now
through the Custom House.
The employee there, knows the
brevity of his official life
in case he should fail to respond with his
proportion. So
we suppose
the invitation to the railroads would have its
alternative, well understood though not expressed. Our
insurance companies can explain the process more
clearly
perhaps or at least more feelingly than we can. Is any
sincere
advocate of civil service reform willing to
have this new machine put in

single year, show a rise of $1,185 on every mile of road

earnings were $8,556,976, in 1881 $12,584,508, an increase of $4,027,532, or more than 47 per
cent. This illustrates how rapidly the traffic of the system
is developing.
It represents, however, only gross results.
Of course, net results are not equally exhilarating. They are
satisfactory, however, though not what one would be led to
expect fromf the character of the gross exhibit. Includ¬
ing taxes and insurance, in 1880 the road was operated
at 50| per cent of the gross earnings ; in 1881 the percent¬
age was increased to 63-87.
Total expenses rose from
$4,343,205 in 1880 to $8,037,S26 in 1881, or $3,694,621,
leaving net only $332,911 greater ihan in the previous year
The explanation of this large increase in expenses is
found in the fact that a considerable part of the road was
originally constructed with the idea that traffic for some
time to come would be light.
The company was entirely
unprepared for any such business as it is now doing. As
a consequence, portions of the structure have been sub
jected to a greater strain than they were meant to stand/
Rails proved to be too light, ties insufficient, ballast not
strong enough nor deep enough. Cars also and motive

During 1880 alone $22,271,700 was added, $15,720,900 on account of the stock divi¬

The increase is still going
on. At the time the shareholders were paid the stock divi¬
dend they were also allowed the privilege of subscribing
for new stock for cash to the extent of 15 per cent of their
holdings. The first payment on this 15 per cent increase
was not due until January 9 in the

additional amount does not appear in the table above,

also necessitated by the purchase of the Sonora Railway of
Mexico, made since the close of the fiscal year.

During the past week there has
been a fair demand for

inquiry has been largely in connection with the holidays, which
has led to a considerable circulation of notes and

real position of the market has not
materially changed, and

naturally been much in¬

higher than they are now’, and as regards
wheat there seems to be some
probability of quotations re¬

During the week ended April 8 the sales of home-grown
in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to 34,325 quarters, against 30,433 quarters last year
and 24,643 quarters in 1880; while it is computed that they
were iu the whole kingdom 137,300
quarters, against 121,750
quarters and 98,600 quarters. Since harvest the sales in the
150 principal markets have been 1,412,072 quarters,
against
1,288,570 quarters and 4S£,207 quarters; the estimate for the
whole kingdom being 5,648,300 quarters, against 4,798,300
quarters in the corresponding period of last season and 3,990,250
quarters in 1879-80. Without reckoning the supplies of produce
furnished ex-granary at the commencement of the season, it
is estimated that the following quantities of wheat and flour
have been placed on the British markets since harvest. The

them. The railroad was sold
in the interest of certain first
mortgage bondholders, and Gen. R. T. Wilson, of Georgia, was
the purchaser for $1,500,000. Subsequently he sold it at an
advance of $1,000,000 to the East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia
Railroad Company, by which it is still operated. A judgment
has been obtained by the second mortgage bond owners, and the
question of entering a decree for setting aside the sale of two
years ago is to come up at an early date.
A hard fight will be
made in the courts by both parties in interest. George P. West,
of this city, attorney for the holders of the second mortgage
bonds, has just returned from Georgia and addressed the meetr
ing held yesterday. At his suggestion a special committee,
consisting of F. K. Hain, Joseph Rodrigues, G. B. Scranton, C.
W. Kohlsaat and W. C. Noyes, was appointed to confer with
other holders of the company’s bonds and seek concerted
what they claim as rightfully due
two years ago by a foreclosure
action.”

State and Railroad Bonds.—The Tennessee bonds have been
pretty strong while the coquetting between the bondholders
committee, the Governor and the Legislature in regard to the
new
scaling compromise hasjbeen in progress. Virginias have
been depressed by the action of the State Court in
failing to
issue a mandamus to compel the receipt
of coupons for taxes;
the case now goes to the United States
Supreme Court on ap¬
peal. It is said that the cases recently argued in that court
involving the question'of one State’s suing another on its
bonds will be decided very soon, and some of the
low-priced
bonds, such as North Carolina special tax and South Carolina
non-fundable, have shown a little activity on the possibility of
favorable decision.
Railroad bonds are more active on a general investment de¬
mand, but not on speculation. The business is well distributed,
and prices are inclined to be stronger.

in the local and 29,422 tons in the
foreign or competitive tonnage, the gain being mainly in the
movement of coal.
The revenue from the local tonnage
increased $6,413, while that from foreign tonnage decreased
$339,450, owing to the low rates received thereon during the
latter half of the year. The average rate received per ton per
mile was 7 2-10 mills, against 8 4-10 mills in the previous year,
while the average cost shows a slight increase. In the expenses,
however, are included over $200,0C0 disbursed during the year
for permanent improvements to the property.
There were carried 1,017,431 passengers, against 902,454 in
1880, an increase of 114,977, of which 110,110 was in the local
and 4,867 in the through travel. The increased revenue from
passengers, $44,676, was derived entirely from the local travel*

tons,
against
2,484,321
tons in 1880, an increase of 482,828 tons, of which
178,065 tons
was in the local and 304,763 tons in the

slight improvement, the rates being much reduced below the
figures of the preceding year.
There were 909,694 passengers carried,
against 814,980 in the
previous year, an increase of 94,714; all in the local travel.
The increase in the local passenger

Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha Railway.
(For the year ending December 31,1881.)
The first annual report has just been published of this con¬
solidated
railroad. It is stated that for a portion of the
the St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad was operated as a
separate company, but in May, 1881, it was deeded to the
Chicago St Paul Minneapolis & Omaha Railway Company, and
the operation of the two roads consolidated. For convenience
of future comparisons this
report is made as if this consolida¬
tion had taken effect Jan. 1, 1881, and the
operations of both
roads are included for the whole year 1881. The railroad
year
under construction Dec. 31, 1881, or undertaken to be con¬
structed during 1882, embraced the following: In Wisconsin—
Extension North Wisconsin line to-Lake
Superior, 40 miles;
from Chippewa Falls to Superior City, 141 miles ; total, 181
miles.
In Nebraska—From Emerson to Norfolk^ 47 miles;
grand total, 228 miles. For the construction of the Wisconsin
lines, this company will be entitled to receive under their land
grants 553,600 acres of lands in the counties of Burnett, Ash¬

understand it rightly, refers to the
Continent solely ; and the intent of it is, we
suppose, to show
that the Continent has consumed
280,000 bales more than it has
received. But before we can
explain the figures we would be
pleased if Mr. Donnell would give us a little information with
regard to the preparation of them.
1. We would like to know how he
makes up the shipments
of American cotton to the Continent?
The Chronicle tables
cannot show it, because
(first) a portion of the shipments to
Great Britain never lands in Great
Britain, but are ordered to
the Continent, and (second) because the
indirect shipments to
we
the Continent do not
appear in the Chronicle table at all. As
the Continent had received on the first
of April 842,050 bales of
American cotton, against 1,044,940 bales at the
same date last
year—or a decrease of
only about 200,000 bales, we should be
pleased to have Mr. Donnell explain to us what his
442,000
bales decrease has to do with the
subject ? or, in other words,
what it
means

Indian corn has materially declined owing1] to an important
increase in the receipts at Chicago. The decline has been quite
as marked in the West.
The export sales here have neverthe¬
less reached only a moderate aggregate. It is stated that specu¬
lators in the West have been covering their contracts at the
decline while it is also averred that leading operators have
begun to sell the market short in anticipation of a steady
increase in the receipts. To-day the market was dull and

Wheat has advanced several cents

where the receipts have continued very small. The business
