public is taught to draw the inference
that the Stock Exchange will soon be buried under a mass
of worthless securities, and every merchant who owes a
sixpence will be forced into liquidation. Such exaggerations and predictions are simply absurd
in the present condition of prices and credits.
We are
really at the end now of two years of contraction and
liquidation. Financial and commercial affairs are in such
a
state that speculation is scarcely observable, in any
department, and very seldojn in our history have we

THE
FINANCIAL
SITUATIONL
Farther
important failures in commercial circles have
during the past few days, and these, to¬
gether with the suspension of two banks at St. Albans,
also of runs by depositors on a bank in this State and two
in the West, besides rumors affecting several other finan¬
cial institutions, have served to keep the public mind in a
been announced
disturbed condition all the week.
On the surface the ap¬
is easily interpreted as indicating quite a general
disorder, and parties interested in depressing prices do not
hesitate to exaggerate this feature and predict the worst
of consequences.
Croakers have, therefore, increased in
number and in confidence, and the crowTd which always

prove that this is a period of general and greatly
inflated-credits.
One railroad manager has temporarily
succumbed, so they tell us all others are in a similar state
and will speedily follow; the disclosure in the leather
trade they interpret as only a sample of the overtrading
prevailing in all departments of commerce; the temporary
disturbance in three or more small banks (possible inci¬
dents of any period) they make sufficient to support a

The trouble in the Western banks
has
its-
origin probably in the wild and disastrous speculation in
provisions and breadstuffs which was so recently in
progress there.
Rut those movements are at an end, and
the losses incurred, though heavy, have in general borne
their fruit.
As to the St. Albans affair, it is a special
matter and has no general application.
There are very
few railroads to-day that could be embarrassed even in a
panic. They are in almost every case very strongly held,,
and where one can question the value of the stock the bonds
are safe.
Besides, nearly all the railroad extensions a
short time since in progress are finished, and to a large
extent were carried through and the securities issued by
old corporations whose credit is beyond suspicion.
Fur¬
thermore, during the last eighteen months the banks and
other loaning institutions have gradually thrown out the
poorer stuff while making the margin for all greater, sothat their collaterals to-day stand safer than has been the
case often.
Now, if to all this we add that last year and
this year the country raised magnificent crops and has
been accumulating wealth, and thus actually and visibly
recuperating during its time of depression, the reader will
be able to estimate at their true value these prophets and
prophecies of evil.
In the references made to the various
contributed to the

which have
existing state of affairs we think too
prominence has been given to the decline in railroad
building which affects so many departments of trade and
of general business.
The facts in relation to this change
are
perhaps not noticed by the general reader. Even dur¬
ing the summer and autumn of 1882 railroad construction
was carried on with wonderful
rapidity, but before the close
of the year the Chronicle stated, judging from the out¬
look at that time, that there must be a very large decrease
during the present year. Other journals predicted but a
moderate decline. Now, it is found from the approximate
running account of new construction kept by the Railroad
gazette, that from Jan. 1 to date 2,796 miles of new road

to depress prices,
for no story is too absurd not to
frighten the timid. The attacks of the speculators were,
however, first directed against the cliqued properties ;
but when it was seen that these did not yield, a diversion
was made, and the unprotected stocks were assailed.
The
Yfabashes yielded
readily, partly because of the
decreased earnings of the road—comparison being made
in the last week of July with a very large traffic for the
corresponding period in 1882—and partly in consequence
of a threatened passenger rate war between this road, the
Illinois Central and the Chicago & Alton. Texas & Pacific
and Missouri Kansas & Texas sympathized with this decline
in the Wabashes,
and the stocks of all the roads
in the Southwestern system were also more or less affected
by the issue of an order by the Telegraphers' Brother¬
hood directing the operators employed on these lines to
strike unless alleged grievances were redressed.
Indeed,
this movement of the Brotherhood exerted a depressing
influence upon stocks of all railroads, for it was feared
that the locomotive engineers would so far sympathize
with the striking telegraphers as to refuse to run trains
without the aid of telegraphic signals or orders.
Denver
& Rio Grande was later attacked, doubtless with the object
of demoralizing the resr. of the market, and on Wednesday

THE CHRONICLE.
Topeka & Santa Fe is over a million dollars ahead on
own net earnings
(wholly the result of a reduction in
expenses) and gains $135,000 besides on the Kansas City
Lawrence & Southern line.
The Chicago Burlington &
Quincy increased its June net in the large sum of $428,
565, but as to this it should be said that the company lost
heavily last June—no less than $604,891—so that the
present net figures are not quite up to those of June, 1881.
For the first six months, however, the gain is as much as
$1,491,035, while in 1882 the loss was only $267,931.
The road is having a larger supply of corn traffic this year.
The Reading figures this time embrace the Central of New
Jersey. Leaving these out, the result is slightly against
this year.
Utah Central continues to make an unfavor¬
able showing.
Northern Central does well, as usual.
Our table includes quite a number of Southern roads, and it
will be noticed that almost without exception these record
large gains. Among them may be mentioned the
Chesapeake & Ohio, with its Elizabethtown Lexington &
Big Sandy line, the Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis,

comparison of the present position of the Bank of Eng¬
with the year 1S79 shows some important changes.
In
that year the Bank was very strong, the supply of bullion
being £35,694,093, while the reserve was £21,372,218. The pro¬
portion of reserve to liabilities was 56% per cent; “ other
securities ” were under £ 8,000,000, and the Bank rate was only
2 per cent.
It must not be inferred from these figures that the
country was then in a state of prosperity; on the contrary, the
accummulation of unemployed money is indicative of the fact
at that time existing that enterprise had almost ceased to exist.
The complaints which are heard just now with regard to the
slackness of business are very numerous, but at the same time
a large amount of capital
is being ventured in new undertak¬
ings. Furthermore, the list of dividends which we give below
shows that although general business is disappointing, some
very satisfactory profits have been realized, and it may, in
some
measure, be concluded that the complaints regarding
trade have been exaggerated.
In reference to the state of the bullion market, Messrs. Pixley

seasons for the crops.
After their being parched and scorched by the
fiery sun, we are now having daily, or rather nightly, showers, which is
much better, as work can be accomplished in daytime without hindrance
by the rain. Of coirse the majority of early corn and cotton has been
greatly cut oil by the drought, and some cotton is beginning to show
si-ns of rust; but all the latest corn and cotton is now mending daily.”
Williamston, Anderson Co., August 2.—“The drought still c utilities in
this immediate section, although good rains have fallen in some, parts
of the county.
This is the sixth week of the drought, and yet no pros¬
pect for rain. The crops, both of corn and cotton, have been very se¬

Mr. Ellison further says that, assuming the Continental con¬
sumption for the year should be found to be 7^6 per cenfc
greater than last year, the stock would be 329,000 bales, which,
added to the spinners’ stock in Great Britain (82,000 bales) and
the port stocks, which are estimated at 1,118,000 bales, the total
stock October 1 would be 1,529,000 bales, against 922,000 bales
last year and 1,243,000 bales in 1881.

esent this morning tlie first of a series of special cotton crop
reports from various sootier s of Georgia and Florida, which we shall
iron; inue weekly during the season.
Tim replies are from 39 widelyscattered counties in Georgia. The general tenor of the replies is to the
rflecl. that the acreage, is aLout the same, with the exceptions of a few
count tea, as that of last year,
owing to the protracted drought, the
<?rop is, on the whole, in a considera- ly inferior condition to thatsxhibited at this tiire last season. Refreshing rains, however, have fallen in
.me sections, and ti e outlook is correspondingly improved.
Worms
and caterpillars have appear* d in some quarters, liut thus far but little
■damage has .resulted fr om these sources. Should the season prove pro¬
pitious henceforward, the chances for a pretty fair''crop wiil improve.
Otherwise, ihe yield will be considerably below the average. IMeking
fciis Ivegun in a limited number of counties, but will be general bet ween
the lf>th inst. and tile 1st prox.
Labor, though scarce and hard to eontrui in some sections, is in general in from fair to good supply. TiieoutfneS hu Florida, owing to more propit ious weal Her, is rather more
cheering. The replies are from intelligent at.<1 well-informed sources,

The transactions for August delivery have
been attended with no little excitement, and on Tuesday this
option advanced 4/£c., the rise in other deliveries being at the
same time >j@lc.
The sharp advance was due to a fright
among the shorts which was started by the unexpectedly low
grading of some of the receipts, and the fact that the supply of
No. 2 mixed, the contract grade, had become concentrated in
the hands of one or two holders.
As high as 66^c. was paid
for August, but tlie market has since gradually declined, as the
demand from the shorts subsided. The crop advices in general
p* int r<> a large yield, though it is stated that the harvest will
be someweat later than usual. The comparative scarcity of No.
2 mixed has latterly had the effect of restricting trade for
export. To-day the market was only mode rat ly active and
/O to 1 c. lowei; No. 2 mixed sold at 62Fi@62'qc. for August,
61/s(d62e both for September and October.
Bye has been more active at tinner prices; tlie demand has
still been mainly for Western; 70>j>o., cost and freight, has
been paid. Oats have been more active at times, in sympathy
with other cereals, but latterly the transactions have been
smaller. Prices, iu sympathy with a weaker inaiket in Chicago,
have been depressed here for several days. To-day prices were
lower, with trade slow, especially on tlie Vpot; No. 2 mixed sold
at 3f>>2c. in store at Brooklyn; No. 2 mixed sold at 3r*@3‘]^c\

Agricultural Bureau’s report, issued this afternoon after
sming wheat average 97, the
same as last year, and says that th * returns for August do not
essentially change the indicated aggregate of July for the
entire crop, but that the result of the harvest will be more
fully tested on the return of the threshers’ blanks. As to
corn tlie report says that the crop has improved slightly, the
condition being S3, against S3 last month.
Nights have been
too cool, and the crop is laie.
Frost may yet cause disaster.
The c.mditi >11 of oats is given as 109.
Barley averages 95,
potatoes 101 and buckwheat 90.

and to
a great extent nominal
for many descriptions, but within a
day or two the demand has improved and the market has
become tinner in tone, though no material advance has taken
place. The supply of choice .>'0. 2 and superfine lias been
light, and this fact has restricted trade in those descriptions.
Winter wheat patents are held firmly as a rule ; they are in a
better position than spring wheat brands. The receipts of new
flour have increased somewhat.
To-day the market was firm
with a good trade.
Wheat has latterly been more active, both for export and on
speculation, at an advance of 2>i@3j£c. Less favorable crop
advices from England and France have led to a better export
demand, and have likewise stimulated speculation.

reports from our own wheat belt have been in tlie main favor¬

trade has been mainly iu spring wheat and low grades of red,
The adulteration of No. 2 red is still a subject of complaint
Exporters in some instances claim that Baltimore is a better
.market at which to purchase No. 2 red wheat, the grading
there being, it is averred, far more strict than at New York.
No. 2 spring wheat has sold here on the spot at §1 12,l£@$l' 13.
White wheat has been scarce. To-day the market was >i@lc.
higher for red, with a good demand, while of spring wheat
fully 160,000 bushels were sold for export at £1 12>2@$113 ;
options were in good demand and slightly higher, though

TRADE.
Friday. P. M., Aug. 10, 1883.
In commission and
jobbing
week has been somewhat
circles the business of the past
disappointing, wholesale buyers hav¬
ing conducted their operations with a degree of caution border¬
ing upon timidity. There was no hesitation in
immediate wants, but there
was
an
obvious
supplying
indisposition to
anticipate future requirements to any material extent.
The
most
satisfactory feature of the week’s business was a further
improvement in the jobbiog branches of the trade.
