ENTERPRISE.
We showed by the foreign trade statistics two weeks
since that this country already has a commerce with the
countries south of us on the American continent by no
means inconsiderable, and not contemptible in comparison
with that of England and France. It is quite equal to that
of our rivals in point of variety, and, excepting a few great
classes of''articles like textiles, iron manufactures, boots,
hats and clothing, it is equal also in amount.
But these
are very important exceptions.
Indeed, they constitute
the great bulk of goods which any people like those of
Central and South America buy of countries wherein the
arts are carried to the highest point of perfection.
Yet two
facts which are highly significant are these : that we do
soil some of each class of these goods in every one of the
southern republics ; and that in those countries is to be
found not only our best present, but our best prospective

in a

practical and useful way by improving the consular
system; that is to say, chiefly by improving the quality of
foreign consuls. Of late years the State Department has
indicated a useful service to American commerce which
consuls can perforin, by requiring trade reports.
Those
reports have been remarkably good, considering the
manner in which consuls, as well
as foreign ministers, are
selected.
Were the service to be made permanent in a
measure, with promotion to more important posts as an
incentive to good work in subordinate positions, and with
a total
abandonment of the idea of using consulates to
reward party zeal or to console defeated candidates for
the los3 of offices, the effect would be most happy.
To say that the qualities which, in the opinion of ia local

Money Market and

thoroughly confidence has been restored and how little import¬
ance i3 now attached to an isolated disaster of that sort.
In
June the same failure might have created a temporary panic,
causeless as the fright would have been.
We have to record another week of negatives in the way of
bad reports, excepting the failure just referred to, and this, as
remarked last week, is practically a good account. Each week
now recorded without bad failures, unfavorable crop news or
other obstacles to improvement, is one week gained towards
the near period when the large crops of 1884 will begin to move
and commercial transactions mud be on the increase.
There is little analogy between the present situation of
defaulting railroads and that existing after 1873. Then all was
doubt and distrust, and there was no confidence that the aver¬
age Western railroad could ever be brought up to the basis of
paying even a moderate interest charge. Now all this is
changed, and aside from the timid feeling caused by a panic
right-at-hand, such as we had two months ago. the general
feeling about railroads is one of confidence—perhaps too much
confidence—and this fact will greatly assist the re-organization
of defaulting companies and will assist the managers in raisingnew capital with which to rehabilitate their companies.
The
prodigious amounts realized as profits from securities of re-or¬
ganized roads in the United States during the booming period
from 1870 to 1881 probably equaled, if they did not exceed in
amount, the profits made in any great speculative era, in any
country or at any time.
Rates for call loans during the week on stock and bond col¬
laterals have ranged at
to 2 per cent, and to-day at 1 cvp 2
per cent.

should be matured soon, and it is commonly reported that
such a plan is under advisement bv the officers in consultation
with Mr. W. II. Vanderbilt.
Erie has been one of the strongest stocks, and to-day ad¬
vanced sharply on some strong buying.
There is a little sus¬
picion of this.’Erie movement since the company yet needs
much money and is losing heavily in earnings, and the
advance hardly appears to be warranted; but the current
rumors place Mr. John King in the presidency, with a reor¬
ganized bo ml of directors, and all money required to be fur¬
nished by the English shareholders on debenture bonds; this
appears very hopefub, to say the least.
To-day the market was steady to firm on most of the list,
and very strong in Erie. The short interest appears to be
smaller of late, and only a few stocks command a premium for

arriving on Wednesday from Liverpool brought irr$1,250,000

sum of $1,750,000 recently imported.

ANNUAL

REPORTS.

Southern Pacific Railroad (of California).
{For the year ending December 31, 1883.)

of this company for the year 1883 has
just been issued. The President, Mr. Chas. Crocker, says in
his report : “ That portion of the old line under lease to
the
Central Pacific Railroad
Company is being profitably operated,
and we also look for a fair profit to the lessees on that
portion
of the road known as the Colorado division—from
Mojave
to
the Needles—now that it is in full
operation, and, by its
junction with the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, has so lessened
the distance over the route
formerly followed in reaching the
Eastern connections; as also from the
development of new
business in the mining regions traversed
by the new lines.
Respecting the operations of the new line, or the Colorado
division, I would refer to the net deficit after paying rental,
as shown by letter from the lessees on
page 10 of this report,
and state that a claim was made
by said lessees for a re¬

imbursement of the amount of said loss—$234,211—the
lease
having been made with the expectation that connection would

be made and the road

opened for through traffic early in the
The equity of the claim having been recognized, the
same has been
adjusted by paying to the Central Pacific Rail¬
road Company the said amount.”
The land report states : “As shown
by former reports, the
lands granted by Congress to the
company amount in the
aggregate to about 10,445,227 acres, all within the State of
California, which, at the Government price ($2 50 per acre) for
adjoining lands, would be worth $20,113,067 50. Of this land
there have been sold 640,000 acres, at an
average price of $4 39
per acre, leaving still to the company 9,805,227 acres, com¬
prising grazing, timber and good arable lands. Of the main
lines of the railroad to which the lands are
granted, 579’20
miles were constructed, and the Government has
accepted
them. The 242’51 miles recently built from
Mojave
Station
to
the Needles, on the Colorado River,
connecting with the
Atlantic & Pacific, are now awaiting examination and
accept¬
ance by the Government commissioners.”
Up to this time the company has applied for and received
patents for i, 192,785 24 acres of its land, and it has now
applications in the Land Department in Washington for
145,479*80 acres more, for which patents will soon issue.
The sales in 1883 were 83,565 acres for
$353,028 ; the total
receipts for the year in cash were $361,278.

Anthracite Coal.—The

Philadelphia Press says: “ The coal
combination has agreed not to
suspend work
this
month, but a stoppage is ordered for the first weekduring
in Septem¬
ber. In this, Reading
& Lackawanna have carried their point

against the other companies. The matter was decidedhau
moniously; the most important effect will be that cCcll
month's work just now will give
Reading an opportutit$t&
earn the dividend on
Jersey Central. It is hoped a idcx^
pected by the friends of Reading that the
company willcam
this month as much as last
year, $2,000,000. In this"
tlieiamay
be some disappointment.
The policy of postponing the
stop¬
page at the mines is simply putting off the evil
day until later
in the year. There should be at least
two weeks’ suspension
between this time and

December 1st and the usual two weeks
in December, if the enormous
production now going on is con¬
tinued. The statement is
true, even if the market takes as
much coal as last year.
Such a supposition in the present
state of the trade is ridiculous. The
situation is

plain.
Up to August 1 the production was 16,000,000perfectly
tons. " At the
production during the week ending August 2, the last

rate of

in, there will be 18,000,000 tons produced between that
time

and January 1, or 34,000,000 tons for the
year! This is 3,000,000 more than the
highest estimate of the d mands of the

market, or about four weeks’ product. There is
always two
suspension in December, and the other two weeks’
stoppage will have to occur before that time."
Central Pacific.—The statement of
gross earnings for June
is accompanied
by the operating expenses and net earnings.
This is a departure of vast
importance for stockholders, and it
is to be hoped that the
monthly statements hereafter will al¬
ways be in this shape.
The 'floods in June, 1884, greatly
reduced net
weeks'

earnings.

Among all Mr.
Gould’s* railroad operations none have been more striking than
those in connection with ."Wabash.
How the company was
raised from deep insolvency; how Mr. Cyrus W. Field allowed
himself to be made President for a time; how the stock was

bought up at almost nothing and sold out at fabulous prices;
how the leases of numerous lateral roads were made at im¬
mense rentals; how the stock
was
listed in London; how the
general

or

blanket mortgage bonds

were

created and widely

furnishing the re¬
quired cash for a season; how the famous dividend of Novem¬
ber, 1881, was declared on the preferred stock, when the com¬
pany was already known to have a large delicit ; the un¬
loading of insiders on the strength of that dividend;
the

ownership of a share of stock; the advance of money by direc¬
tors; the collateral trust loan—the dernier rcssort of modern
railroad financiers; the final insolvency in June, 1884, and the
appointment of one of the most prominent directors a re¬
ceiver; the issue of receivers’ certificates to pay off notes en¬
dorsed by directors; the recent meeting, in the nature of a
funeral, at which Mr. Goa Id as President showed his resigna¬
tion (controlling, with Iron Mountain, the chief assets of the
deceased', and the managers’ committee, submitted their plan
for the future resurrection, in which the unprofitable leases
made by them are to be shaken, off, the lien of the general
mortgage extinguished, the stockholders heavily assessed, and
the directors are to he paid off in cash,—all the above circum¬
stances contribute to make tHe
history of Wabash since Mr.
Gould took it one of tlie most remarkable and interesting
that has ever occurred in American railroading.
It is even
phenomenal, embracing in a comparatively short period nearly
every phase of kite-flying, watering, stock-jobbing, bankruptcy
of the company and assessment of stockholders, which are

The low prices

nearly all staples of agriculture also affect the demand

from other sections.

The excitement of the

political canvass
is hardly felt as yet.
The weather, which had been too cold
and wet in nearly all parts, has become dry and quite warm, a
chaDge which must prove most beneficial. The financial sitution appears to be steadily improving, although failures of
importance continue to be reported.
The speculation in lard futures the past week has been quite
brisk at advancing prices, except on Wednesday, when there
was a sharp re-action.
The market to-day was quite buoyant,
with large dealings, closing firm at 8c. for September, 7'87c.

Spot lard is also dearer, and quoted at the close at 7‘75c. for

Pork is also dearer, at $18 for mess

;

throughout the South was reported too cool for the
season, tending to the development of vermin on the cotton
plant; and that an important reduction in already small
stocks was revealed on Tuesday. The opening on Wednesday
was at some further advance, but the demand was not sus¬
tained; and the improvement of Tuesday was more than lost
at the close under a free selling movement and a general
absence of speculative interest.
Yesterday the opening was
slightly better on a stronger report from Manchester, but
depression followed, and the close was very dull, it being
reported that selling orders had gone forward from here to
Liverpool. To-day, however, Liverpool was dearer, and this
market improved; but the demand was not sustained. The
close, as compared with last Friday, was at 8(oill points
advance.
Cotton on the spot has been in very fair demand
for home consumption, with some business for export, and
quotations were on Tuesday advanced l-16c. To-day there
was a steady, quiet market, middling uplands closing firm at
IOJ3C., with some sales reported at better prices.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 317,000
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
8,466 bales, including 2,295 for export, 6,171 for consumption,
for speculation and — in transit.
Of the above, — bales
were to arrive.
The following are the official quotations for
each day of the past week.

Receipts at the outports are some¬
times misleading, as thoy*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 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 outports.

following remarks accompany the month's weather
reports for July, 1884 :
Weldon, N. C— Cotton is backward.
Cape Fear, N. (7.—Crops, I fear, will be much injured
by tho
great amount of water on
them; all our ditches sire full to over flowing,
but hope the water will um off in a few
days unless tho Cape Fear River
rises.

Spartanburg. S. C.—A remarkably cool and pleasant July.

The ther¬
days, the ‘24th, 91, and tho 25th,
very timely, and no severe storms. Tho
heaviest rainfall was the afternoon of
,July 31, being 0-33 of an inch.
This is the most abundant year for
fruit, especially peaches, l remem¬
ber to have seen.
The mean thermometer for
July, 1833, was 81. Crop
prospects reported favorable.
Statcburg. S. C —Cotton suffered somewhat by a two week’s drought,
after a few weeks of very light
rains, but about the middle of the mouth
mometer reached the 90s
only on two

The rains have been

very oportuue and refreshing rains came.
Columbus, (iu.—We have had too much rain

140,000 bales more than at the same time in 1381-82. By adding
to the above totals to July 81 the daily receipts since that time,
we shall be able to reach an exact comparison of the movement

Drouth has prevailed in

The report for wheat includes onlv thespring wheat region. The aver¬
age is 98, one point higher than in the last two good spring-wheat years,
and higher than iu any year since 1877.
The average for condition of oats is 94, one point lower than in 1883.
Tlie crop has been harvested in the lower latitudes, aud promises a tine
yield in most of the Northern States.
The condition of rye averages 97, the same as last month, as harvested
aud ripening. Barley also maintains its high condition, and buckwheat
promises a full crop, on an area of about the same as last year.
The prospect is favorable for another large crop of potatoes, not so
full as that of last year, on an area three percent smaller. The present
indications point to a crop of about ten per cent less than that of 1883,
with a larger difference it future conditions should be less favorable.
Tobacco promises a large crop. The averages for principal States are:

Domestic Cotton

Goods.—The exports of cotton goods for

the week were 2,090

packages, including 1,582 to Great Britain

(probably for trans-shipment to other markets), 190 to Uruguay,
103 to U. S. of Colombia, etc.
The demand at first hands was
steady but moderate, and a more active business in package
and assorted lots was done by leading jobbers. The tempo*
rary stoppage of nearly one-third of the cotton machinery! a
the country has checked the downward course of prices, and
some improvement in values may reasonably be expected unless
the mills should unwisely resume running on full time before
surplus stocks can be placed in the channels of consumption*

improved but slightly. Some fair orders were
placed for light-weight worsted coatings and union cassimeres, but such cases were exceptional, and heavy woolens
ruled quiet. Flannels were in fair request, but the demand
for blankets was checked by large auction sales of these goods,
which enabled buyers to supply their immediate wants on
favorable terms.
Fine white blankets brought very good
prices in the auction rooms, but the lower grades were sold at
about 15 per cent below agents’ quotations, and grey blankets
brought very low prices.
Ladies’ cloths, tricots, sackings,
cloakings, Jersey cloths and stockinettes were severally in fair
request, and a moderately good business was done in worsted
dress fabrics, as cashmeres, mohair lustres, &c. Shawls contin¬
ued in fair request, but skirts were sluggish, and the trade in
hosiery and knit underwear was light and irregular. *
Foreign Dry Goods have dragged more or less in first
hands, but the jobbing trade was a trifle more active. Silks
were lightly dealt in, but
there was a fair call for velvets and
velveteens, and staple and fancy dress goods were in steady
request. Linen and white goods ruled quiet, and men’s-wear
