despite a smaller cotton
movement, a diminished grain movement (the gain in wheat
was not sufficient to offset the loss in other
cereals) and a
somewhat less active business generally.
In special sec¬
tions, however, the unusually abundant yield of winter
wheat, with the great demand for it because of the pre¬
vious season’s short supply and the low stocks on hand,
was a positive influence of a
very favorable character.
Thus the receipts of winter wheat at Chicago are reported
was
August

tf^bT^itho^rp^cedent for this period of the year
Indeed, Chicago has not hitherto been considered much
f market fo°r this species of wheat, and its situation in
that respect would therefore appear to be changing.
The
effect of this movement is seen in all the roads that con¬
nect Chicago with the winter-wheat district. The Chicago
& Eastern Illinois, the Evansville & Terre Haute, and the
main line of the Illinois Central all show large gains in
earnings for this very reason. Not only did Illinois and
the adjoining States known as large producers of winter
grain contribute to this movement, but the South also
furnished liberal supplies to swell the aggregate. The
Illinois Central people, for instance, inform us that their
road received large quantities of wheat from points in
Kentucky and Tennessee on their St. Louis & New Orleans
line the comparatively high prices ruling being
great inducement to a speedy marketing of the cropand of course the Illinois Central got the full haul on this
traffic, all the way to Chicago.
Other roads similarly
situated were no doubt benefitted in the same way. The
Peoria Decatur & Evansville, which does not run as far
Chicago, had, besides a full movement of grain all
along its line, a further favoring influence in an agree¬

and the Wabash
Cincinnati from
Chicago, using their joint lines for
South as respects cereals has this
gain of over $165,000 in earnings, equivalent to
an increase of pretty nearly 30 per cent.
The Wabash, on
870 more miles of road, gains $287,085, but it was only
in the latter part of the month that this road began to feel
records
a
augmented volume of grain traffic. For
fourth week of July the increase was $107,987, or
the effects of the
the
33£ per cent—this on a largely increased mileage, of
but even with the same mileage in both years the
increase in earnings is heavy, over $76,000.
On the other hand, roads that do not traverse the winter
wheat belt make a less favorable return.
This is particu¬
over
course ;
larly true of roads like the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul
and the St. Paul & Omaha, which have a decrease, and
the Chicago & Northwestern, which has only a very small
increase.
But the statements of these roads are very
encouraging nevertheless, for with the new crops not yet
moving and scarcely any remnant left of the old crops, a
much more unfavorable showing was anticipated.
It
will
be
observed, too, that these roads cover a
very
wide extent of territory and are there¬
fore
experiencing the full effects of last year’s
crop shortage, which effects are naturally more pronounced
at the end of the season than they were at the beginning.
Among other roads in the same territory the Burlington
Cedar Rapids & Northern does quite well.
The Central
Iowa has a small increase, while the Des Moines & Fort
Dodge has a heavy decrease. The St. Paul Minneapolis
& Manitoba still heads the list of roads having an increase
and its traffic is expanding at a marvellous rate, superin¬
duced by the large immigration into the section of country
which it drains.
To show the influence of the grain
movement upon the traffic of Western roads we give the
undergone complete change.
Hitherto she has
import largely to meet home wants, and
last year, on account of the severe drought, she had to
depend to a greater extent than ever upon the West and
subjoined table of the receipts of flour and grain at the
Northwest for supplies of this character. Not only South¬
leading lake and river ports. It will be seen that while
ern roads but Western roads like the Peoria (running to
wheat exhibits a heavy gain, corn exhibits a much heavier
Evansville), were thus in part compensated for the loss
from diminished crops.
Now, the movement is com¬ loss, leaving the total movement of grain considerably
smaller this year than last ; also that Chicago appears to
pletely reversed, and instead of Western roads moving have been the chief sufferer from this diminished move¬
Western grain South, they are moving Southern grain
north and west.
From all sections of the South come the ment, which, as already remarked-, lends significance to

But let it be known and pro¬
claimed from this spot, which affords a channel of com¬
munication with the world not inferior to the Senate
itself, that those interests are not ours alone, but interests
we have in common with every State in
Europe. Nay,
with the whole civilized world.”
Mr. Gladstone,
always felicitious in speech, was
never more fortunate in his choice
of words. It was
necessary clearly to put the position of England ; but
it was also necessary so to put it as to satisfy the
British people, and to command the approval of the
outside Powers.
Equally happy was his allusion to the
Suez Canal.
It is essential for mankind that that gate
should be open, and that the country in which it is
situated should be peaceful, orderly, and under legal gov¬
ernment.
Not otherwise can it continue to be the great
gateway of commerce. It is, as Mr. Gladstone said, the
duty of every one of the Powers to work
for the canal such conditions of safety;
so as to secure
but England
unwilling to do the work alone; and it is impossible
to deny what Mr. Gladstone affirms, that the performance
of such a work, if associated with high and disinterested
objects, will redound to the honor of those upon whom
the burden is cast.

speaking to a feeling which he knew existed in
Egypt. The frank utterances of Mr. Gladstone have
been made at an opportune moment, and they can hardly
fail to produce a happy effect all round.
Mr. Gladstone’s hope that the expedition will have a
speedy and successful issue/ will be shared by many. The
prospect is certainly more encouraging than it was two
weeks ago.
It is something that England has taken the
matter up in earnest, and that she is making an effort in
some degree commensurate with her strength and her
•resources.
It is something also that Germany and Austria
fully endorse England’s measures and that the fertile
genius of Bismarck is with her. With Bismarck on his
side, Mr. Gladstone can afford to be indifferent to the luke¬
warmness of France, to the jealousy of
Italy, and to the
ill-concealed displeasure of Russia.
Nor is the changed
attitude of the Porte at all discouraging.
If Turkish
troops go to Egypt, they go as the allies of England and to
act subordinate to English plans.

the Egyptian difficulty is a question of considerable uncer¬
tainty and anxiety. This Egyptian question is undoubtedly
exercising a very important influence of an adverse character
over our commerce, and business on the Stock Exchange is
conducted with much caution. There is an impression gaining
ground that the war will not be of long duration; but it is
nevertheless admitted that there are many difficulties against
which we have, and shall have, to contend, and consequently
some development of events is necessary before any reasonable
conclusion can be arrived at. The British Government have
been showing some determination of late, and it is to be hoped
that their energies will not be relaxed. The correct policy, no
doubt, is to take complete measures to subdue Arabi Pasha and
his followers, and to establish a government in Egypt which
shall be satisfactory to ourselves as well as to the Continental
Powers. Mr. Gladstone, if he is still of the same opinion as he
was when in opposition, is by no means friendly to Turkish rule
in Europe, and if success should attend the military expedition

the future is looked
forward to with a fair degree of confidence.
The Bank return published this week is rather unfavorable,
there being a decrease of £320,689 in the supply of bullion, and'
of £368,332 in the total reserve.
The proportion of reserve to

We have had
week of fine weather, but it has not been
a
quite of a July character. The crops have been maturing
satisfactorily, and in the south of England a fair quantity of
produce will, should the weather continue propitious, be cut
down. The trade during the week has been very quiet for
wheat, and sales have been only practicable at lower prices.
The supplies of produce afloat have increased and are now as
follows : Wheat, 1,943,000 quarters; flour, 152,000 quarters, and
Indian corn, 225,000 quarters.
During the week ended July 22 the sales of home-grown
wheat in the 150, principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to 12,182 quarters, against 13,683 quarters last year
and 17,701 quarters in 1880; while it is computed that they
were in the whole kingdom 48,730
quarters, against 54,730
quarters and 70,800 quarters. Since harvest the sales in the
principal markets have been 1,787,641 quarters, against
and 1,351,051 quarters, the estimate for the
whole kingdom being 7,150,600 quarters, against 6,308,200
quarters in the corresponding period of last season and 5,429,500
quarters in 1879-S0. 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
visible supply of wheat in the United States is also given:

Market and Financial Situation.—A Stock

reported having been for $27,000. This is a good thermometer

The question of railroad traffic now engrosses much of the
attention of those who are interested in financial matters, and
the returns from different roads are watched with great
interest from week to week and month to month. So great is
the desire by different parties to have the returns suit their
own interests, that the influence of the reports for a single
week or month is often greatly exaggerated, and the advance
or decline of a stock on such a temporary exhibit sometimes
becomes an absurdity. But in the long run the outside opera¬
tors and investors have learned that nothing else is so sure a
foundation to rely upon with a railroad stock as a good income
account, established on a tolerably certain basis from year to

REPORTS.
Chicago & Noithwestern Railway.
(For the year ending May 31, 1882.)
The annual report of this company for the fiscal year ending
May 31 1882, has just been published, and seldom has a rail¬
road report been looked for with greater interest. The sudden
rise in the common and preferred stocks last week on rumors of
\ stock distribution soon to be made, to represent the advances
3,278
—of which amount 500 miles were in
sin, 224 in Michigan, 913 in Iowa, 414
Illinois, 896 in Wiscon¬
in Minnesota and 331 in
Dakota. The miles of new railroad added during the year were
504, consisting of Toledo & Northwestern Railway, 207 miles ;
>
Chicago Milwaukee & Northwestern Railway, 141 miles
;
Iowa
Southwestern Railway, 52 miles; Menominee River Railroad,
17 miles ; and Dakota Central Railway, 87 miles.
The increase in capital stock during the fiscal year was
$505,000, arising from $500,000 of preferred stock mentioned
in former reports, issued for La Crosse Trempealeau & Pres¬
cott stock pursuant to the terms of consolidation with that
company on June 6,1877, and representing the cost of its prop¬
erty, and from $2,500 of preferred stock and $2,500 of common
stock issued for conversion of Peninsula Railroad bonds.
The net increase in bonded debt during the fiscal year
amounted to $7,242,000, and consisted of Chicago & North¬
western Railway Company 5 per cent sinking fund bonds, issued
$15,000 per mile, on account of 345 miles of new railroad of

The report states that
“ the surplus, which has gone into the
property, is represented in part by certain
balances, standing as assets on the books, which have accumu¬
lated for several years against the proprietary roads on account
of their construction, cost of their stocks, and stock of the Con¬
solidation Coal Company, and similar investments, that form a
permanent part of the company’s property. A sum of these

The average
number of miles
operated during the whole

number of miles in use at the end of the year was 3,278, an
increase of 18 per cent, classified as follows :
The
more
important line of the Toledo & Northwestern Railway In
Central and Northwestern Iowa is rapidly approaching completion.
Ibis road, now in the third year of its construction, connects with the
main line of the Chicago & Northwestern Company at Tama, 270 miles
west of Chicago, and runs northwesterly and northerly to Elmore, at tho
Minnesota State line, 164*2 miles, with a westerly branch from Jewell
Junction to Lake City, 58*1 miles, and another branch running westerly
from Eagle Grove to Caliope, on the
Southeastern Dakota, a distance of
boundary line between Iowa and
144 miles.
The whole length of
road is 366*6 miles, of which 290*6 miles are finished, and the residue,
76 miles, will lie completed by the 1st of October next.
“
The Des Moines & Minneapolis Railway, formerly a narrow gauge
line running north from Des Moines to Callanan, 58 miles, acquired
perpetual lease, and since by ownership of its stock, has been
entirely reconstructed to standard gauge and laid with steel rails. A
connecting link of 2*4 miles ha3 been built from Callanan to a connec¬
tion with the Toledo & Northwestern Railway at Jewell Junction, thus
under
forming a continuous north and south line between Des Moines and
Elmore, at the north line of the State, a distance of 155 miles.” * * *
In Dakota, the Sioux Valley branch of the Dakota Central Road
was mostly graded before the close of the year, and at the date of issu¬
ing this report all the track-laying but about four miles is completed.

programme was commenced last summer as soon as the con¬

careful examination, appear indispensable for the protection
and development of its traffic and the enhancement of the
ever, to confine
lines to the main
value of its land grant.
Reference is made to the lines put under construction and to
the circular issued to stockholders, as pudished in the Chron¬

As a result of the subscriptions made under that circular,
Mr. Villard says:
We are pleased to inform you that
entire amount of bonds offered, to wit, $6,000,000, has been
taken, thus placing the company in ample funds to meet
entire construction
expenditures during the present year.
Your board take particular satisfaction in announcing to you,
in conclusion—

proceeds of $6,000,000 of bonds will free the company abso¬

2. That out of income and gain from every source there is
already assured a total profit of about $2,000,000.
“3. That we expect the distribution of dividends to com¬

Friday, P. M.,
EPITOME.
COMMERCIAL
Friday Night,
Aug. 11, 1882.
Good progress continues to be made in opening trade for the
autumn season, and the prospects are regarded as excellent.
There have been violent storms in many sections, doing some
damage to crops and interrupting railway transportation, but
nothing serious has occurred, and the general position of affairs
is very promising. Congress has adjourned without passing
any laws providing for the reduction of taxation, but the active
agitation of the subject may possibly lead to good results at its
next session.
The temperature was very oppressive early in
the week, but is now quite agreeable. Yellow fever has made
its appearance in Southwestern Texas, but is nowhere epidemic.
Provisions have latterly had a better speculative movement,
and prices have been advanced. The export inquiries have also
improved. New mess pork was sold on the spot to-day at $22 25;
old quoted $21 37^6@$21 50; August options quoted $21 65@
$2175; September $21 70@$21 85; October $21 90@$22. Lard
was again higher, with prime Western sold on the spot at 12*80
@12*85c.; refined to the Continent 12*95c.; August ^options
realized 12*72^c.; September 12*80@12*85c.; October 12*90@
12 95c.; December
12*72^c.; seller year 12*70c.; January
August 11, 1882.
The Movement of the Crop, as indicated by our
telegrams
from the South to-night, is given below. For the week ending
this evening (Aug. 11), the total receipts have reached 4
8U
bales, against 4,815 bales last week, 6,126 bales the previous
week and 9,150 bales three weeks since; making the total
reoeipts since tiie 1st of September, 1881, 4,665,635 bales, against
5,788,585 bales for the same period of 1880-81, showing a decrease
since September 1,1881, of 1,122,750 bales.

declined. The absence of demand has left the bull party with¬
out support.
Liverpool showed a feverish and unsettled
market, and latterly crop accounts have much improved.
There was on Wednesday an effort to check the decline, but
it had only a temporary success. Yesterday, however, the
bull party seemed to recover confidence, and, aided by a
demand to cover contracts, prices advanced 6@8 points. To¬
day the market was dull and weak. Perhaps the most impor¬
tant feature of the market this week is the decline of “ no
notice for August,” from 13*04c. on Saturday to 12*83c. on
Wednesday, followed by a partial recovery. Cotton on the
spot declined l-16c. on Wednesday, leading to more activity.
To-day the market was quiet and easy, middling uplands
closing at 13c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 229,500
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
5,3S8 bales, including 1,857 for export, 3,497 for consumption,
34 for speculation and
in transit. Of the above, — bales
were to arrive.

Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table i8
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 yearthan 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.

Department issued on the 10th inst. its cotton condition
report for the first of August.

The full text of the report, as
:
August crop returns of the Department of
Agriculture
the work of about 6,000 correspondents, give estimates covering
the entire producing area of over 1,500 of the principal agricul¬
tural counties of the United States upon the condition of most
of the crops now growing.
Cotton.—The condition of cotton has improved during
the past month. The general aveiage has advanced from 92 to
94. This is higher by three points than in August of 1879 and
lower by eight than the August average of 1880. It is also two
points lower than at this date in 1875 and one lower than in
1878, but is higher than in the five other years since 1872.
The average condition of each State is as follows: Virginia,
84; North Carolina, 84; South Carolina, 98; Georgia, 94; Florida,
87; Alabama, 99; Mississippi, 91; Louisiana, 93; Texas, 100;
Arkansas, 96; Tennessee, 86. Only North Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana show decline. Virginia has gained 4, Georgia 2,
Alabama 6, Mississippi 4, Texas 3, Arkansas 6, and Tennessee 8.
South Carolina has tne same average as in July.
There is no injury from drought except in slight degree in a
few districts in Texas. In the northern and eastern divisions of
that State there has beei^excess of rain, causing too vigorous
growth of stalk, delay in fruiting and sometimes shedding of
bolls. In the entire cotton belt there is reported excess of
moisture, injurious in proportion to retentiveness of soils. This
cause accounts for the comparative low condition in North
Carolina, where it is now deemed too late for entire recupera¬
tion.
Rust begins to appear in the districts where rains have
been in excess, but without damage as yet.
The caterpillar has made its appearance in all the States of
the Gulf coast, and, though no injury has resulted, many appre¬
hensions of future loss are expressed. The boll worm is also
mentioned in several States.
large number of the returns are highly favorable, prophe¬
sying a crop “ as large as the land can produce,” or “ better

the new cotton crop, consisting of a number of large bolls, some of which
have opened and snow the fleecy staple in luxuriant abundance while
others are well developed and will soon be ready to give up their valu

The weather was quite favorable during July. There has been a

Alabama.—The Mobile Price Current of the 5th inst. says:
Crop advices from this district continue favorable on the whole
and, although showery weather prevails generally, and exceptionally
heavy rains have fallen in a few localities, there is as yet no report of
actual injury to the cottou plant therefrom.
Caterpillars have been
seen occasionally in various sections but they are what is called the
‘first crop,’ and have, of course, done no damage. Many farmers are
providing themselves with ‘worm poisons’ of various kinds to combat
the next crop of the destructive pests, which may be expected to appear

a trifle more active.
Linen goods were only in moderate de¬

buyers in the market the past week, and business was moder¬
ately active in all branches of the trade. The demand for staple
cotton and woolen goods was less active than a short time
ago
—many buyers having completed their early purchases—but
there was a good, steady movement in such
fancy fall fabrics as
dress goods, prints, ginghams, flannel
suitings and sackings,
lmseys, shawls, hosiery, &c. The depleted condition of stocks
at the South was reflected in the
liberality with which selections
were made
by jobbers from that section, and Western and
Southwestern buyers continued to operate with considerable
freedom, but without the least tendency toward speculation.
The local and
near-by trade have bought sparingly as yet, save
mthe case of a few
specialties required for freshening assort¬
ments on hand. The jobbing trade has been very fair for the
time of year, a
large distribution of domestics, prints, flannels,
