Dear Sia— I have been interested by j-our analysis of the Cliieago &

priispeots of future earnings and the probable rate of future dividends are, of course, the points of interest to iuyestora and speculators
alike. At present the tituation is somewliat complicated by tlie purobase of tbe Blair system of roads. I tbiuk a fair idea of future pi oi"pects may be obtained by submitting last year's actual earnings— tbe

London, Saturday, Aug. 2, 1884.
There seems to be a larger amount of business in pTo;reai,
which is a satisfactory feature at the present time of ths year.
Holiday-making chiefly engages attention, and it will be in
active operation during the next few weeks. The weather,
after the recent fall of rain, is very brilliant, the haat being
almost tropical. We are having, in fact, gloriom ha -vest
weather, and may expect that a large quantity of grain will
be cut next week. There is every prospect of the present
weather continuing, and it is in consequence reaaonable t'.iat
we should look forward to a good avetige production.

As is usual at this period of the year, the grain trade is much
occupied with the harvest prospects both here and abroad.
As far as the wheat trade is concerned the proepect in Euro[>e
has been excellent ever since the commencement of the season,
the prin(;ipal drawback being that the winter was much too
mild. Notwithstanding its mildness, there was a remarkable
freedom from exce.i8ive moisture, and it was also looked upon
as an encouraging feature that at no period was the plant in
so advanced a stage of growth. It appears also to be generally
a<lmitted that the plant was well rooted, and fully capable of
resisting any ordinary adverse conditions.
It has not had,
however, to encounter difficulties, the most serious having
been
the
heavy rains which we have had of late,
and which have beaten down the crofja in several
districts. The fall of rain, which seems to have been unequally
distributed, has nevertheless been of substantial benefit.
Had
no such event occurred our pastures would have been bare,
and great difficulty would have been experienced in providing
a sufficient amount of food for our flocks and herds. The
later-sown crops, which at one period promised to be quite
indifferent, have much improved, and if, as seems to be probable, we have now returnetl to settled weather, there is no
reason why we should not secure a good general harvest. On
the Continent the weather has been almost precisely what it
has been here. Harvest work is now very general in the
central districts of Europe, but there is, as usual, uncertainty
with regard to the result.
It is nevertheless pretty generally admitted that the result is likely to be far from
disappointing, and that the yield of cereal pro Juce will exhibit
an increase over last season. The fact that this season's production cannot be otherwise than large, keeps the trade in a
very quiet condition. The tone is not actually dull, but during
the last few days millers have operated with great caution, as
they are beginning to feel convinced that there is no prospect
of any rise in prices. To inaintain their stocks at a satisfactory
working point is considered to be a judicious course to pursue
under existing circumstances. The shipments of grain to the
ports of western Europe from the United States and Russia
are considerable, but it is expected that they will fall off as
soon as farmers find themselves in a position to thresh freely
and to forward more liberal supplies.
The quantity of wheat and flour afloat to the United Kingdom has increased to the extent of about 100,000 quarters, the
total being 1,827,000 quarters, against 1,633,000 quarters last
year. The quantity of Indian com afloat is 2.>4,O0O quarters,

The Money Market and Financial Silantion.— It freciiu'iitly haiii)enH that the oociirrenoe (if a single event will
tlirou' niucli light on the attiial tone of current feelinj^ as to
financial affairs.
It has Iwon so this week, and the failure of
the 'Wull Street Hank on Jlonday has well serve«l to show how
thoroughly confiUonce has been restoiod and how little importance is 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 tho failure just referred to, and this, as
remarked last week, is practically a good account. Each week
now recordeil without bad failures, unfavorable crop news or
other obstacles to improvement, is one week gained towards
1
the near period when the large crops of 1884 will begin to move
and commercial transactions must he on the increase.
analogy between tho present situation of
defaulting railroads and that existing after 187:5. Then all was
'doubt and distrust, and there was no confidence that the average 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 confiilence perhaps too much
There

confidence and this fact will greatly assist the re-organization
of defaulting companies and will assist the managers in raising
new capital with which to rehabilitate their companies. The
prodigious amounts realized as profits from securities of re-organizetl roads in the United States during the booming [leriod
from 1879 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 collaterals have ranged at }^ to 3 per cent, and to-day at 1@2
per cent.
Prime commercial paper is quoted at 5@6 per
cent.

Railroad bonds have been firm for the list in general, and
two leading speculative i.ssues Erie seconds and
West Shore firsts. The Erie seconds were rjuite weak on Monday last and declined to 38'^, but recently have been very
strong and active on large sales, touching 06i^ to-day and closing at 6.5^4. The movement is in sympathy with the stock, on
reports of improvement in the company's finances, and also
partly on the covering of shorts. The AVest Shore bonds were
strong early in the week on reported contracts for through
business with Grand Trunk of Canada, and reported buying
by parties in that interest, and to-day they opened at ^%,
sold up to 45i8> and closed at 45^8.

Street Bank had a depressing influence for a time, but this was
(juickl y over and the market recovered again speedily.
In particular groups of stocks the feeling has varied. The
Northwe.-stern roads have been affected more or less by the
uncertain status of affairs in regard to the tripartite agreement
and the Western trunk line pool, and until the meeting of
Sept. 23 it would appear that this matter mtzst remjiin unsettled.
The Vanderbilt stocks have shown much strength at times,
but the ruraor has been persistently circulated that New York
Central & Hudson is about to is.^ue some sort of debenture liond
to pay off floating debt ana furnish additional means for fighting West Shore. &c. No facts are positively known j^et, and the
issue of bonds has been denied. The Nickel Plate road,
though showing a deficit in net Income for the payment of interest in the first six month of 1884, is yet compa.ring very
favorably with the other trunk lines in the same period. The
Grand Trunk of Canada is threatening trouble to-day on the
tnink-line percentages.

pany unquestionably needs much money, and cannot rely on
perpetual issues of receivers' certificates. Some financial plan
should be matured soon, and it is commonly reported that
such a plan is under advisement by the officers in consultation
with Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt.
Erie has Ix-en one of the strongest stocks, and to-day advanced sharply on some strong buying. There is a little suspicion of this Erie movement since the company yet needs
much money and is Iceing heavily in earnings, and the
advance h.ardly appears to be warranted; but the current
rumors place Jtr. John King in the presidency, with a reorganized Iwrird of directors, and all money required to lie furnished by the English shareholders on debenture bonds; this
appears very hojieful, to say the least.
To-d.ay 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
&
borrowing.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
Tlie
iust been issutni. Tlie President, Mr. Chas. Crocker, says in
his reiiort : " That jwrtion of tlie old line under lease to the
C-entnil Pacific Itjiilrond 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
Pacific Railroad, has so lessened
junction with the Atlantic
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.
&
Re8i)ecting the ojxTations 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 reimbursement of the amount of said loss 1234,211 the lease
having been made with the expectation that connection would
be made and the road opened for through traffic early in the
year. The equity of the claim having been recognized, the
same has lieen adjusted by paying to the Central Pacific Railroad 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 10,44'),227 acres, all within the State of
California, which, at the Government price {^2 50 per acre) for
adjoining lands, would be worth f 26, 113,067 50. Of this land
there have been sold 640,000 acres, at an average price of pi 39
per acre, leaving still to the company 9,805,227 acres, comprising 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 'SI miles recently built from Mojave Station to
the Needles, on the Colorado River, connecting with the
Pacific, are now awaiting examination and acceptAtlantic
ance by the Government commissioners."
Up to this time the company has applied for and received
patents for 1,192,785 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.

—The
statement for these roads issued for the month of June
includes the operating expenses and net earnings as well as
the gross receipts. This is a new departure, the net earnings
of several of Mr. Huntington's roads not having previously
been given out monthly. Nothing could do more to inspire
confidence in the immense railroad properties under Mr.
Huntington's control than a fuU and prompt exhibit in this
way of tlieir current gross and net income, and security
holders will observe that the Central Pacific statement of
earnings for June is also made in the same way.

month as much as last year, |2, 000,000. In this thei^may
be some disappointment. The policy of postponing the stoppage at the mines is simply putting off the evil day until later
the year. There should be at feast two weeks' suspension
between this time and December 1st and the usual two weeks
in December, if the enormous production now going on is continued. The statement is true, even if the market takes as
much coal as last j-ear. Such a supposition in the present
state of the trade is ridiculous. The situation is i>erfectly plain.
Up to August 1 the production was 16,000,0(M) tons. At the
rate of production during the week ending August 2, the last
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
weeks" suspension in December, and the other two weeks'
stoppage will have to occur before that time."
Central Paciflc. 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 wiU always be in this shape. The floods in June, 1884, greatly
reduced net earnings.

Pittsltiirg & Lake Erie. At Pittsburg, Aug. 13, there was
a meeting of the directors and stockholders of the Pittsburg &
Lake Erie Railroad Company to take action in re^^ard to
guaranteeing the adihtional issue of bonds of the Pittsburg
JIcKeesport & Yoiighiogheny Railroad Company. The debt of
the road is at present iJlOO.OOO. and the meeting was to formally
ratify an additional debt of $2,000,000 which ha(T already been
agreed to by the parties interested. The incre.ase decided upon
gives tlie company a balance with which to make improvements and extensions from time to time. A portion of this
fund will be sjient in making extensions and improvements in
the coke regions. The proposition to guarantee the indebtedness in conjunction witli the Lake Shore road was .agreed to.

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(i<!ll 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
lOJgC, with some sales reported at better prices.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 317,000

Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table ^'
prepared for the pur[)ose of indicating tlie actu.al movement each
week from the ])lantatioiis. Receipts at tlie outports are sometimes misleading, as they are maiie up more largely one year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion tlirough a comparative statement
like the following.
In reply to frequent inquiries we will a(id
Chat these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simjily a statement of the
weekly movement from tlie plantations of that p.art of the crop
which finally reaches tlie market through the outports.

Wheat has declined in sympathy with drooping prices at
the West and in Europe and at times has sold very well for
export as well as on speculation, though as a rule the trading
both on the spot and for future delivery has been on a comparatively moderate scale. The advices from the West indicate that harvesting is now quite general, and in Great Britain
it is said to be progressing satisfactorily.
At the West the
feeling has latterly been weak, owing to the impression that
the receipts must shortly show a marked increase at the Lake
ports. The only sustaining influence of late has been

The movement of breadstuffs to matket is indicated in the
statements below, prepared by us from the figures of the New
York Produce Exchange. We first give the receipts at Western
lake and river ports, arranged so as to present the comparative movement for the week ending Aug. 9 and since Aug. 1
for each of the last three years:
....
Flour has been dull and as a rule weak. The best sustained
flour on the list is good grade from old spring wheat. This
description is in light supply. In fact, the stock here of all
descriptions would not in ordinary times be considered more
than moderate, but in the present stagnation of business it is
eufficiently large to be burdensome.
The better descriptions
of both new and old flour are most plentiful, and though the
receipts of the new product are small, there is no demand
€xcept for export, and even the foreign trade is comparatively
demand from

cloakings, Jersey cloths and stockinettes were severally in fair
