[From our own correspondent. J

London, Saturday, July 19, 1890.
The money market has not been quite so stringent this week.
It is true that the outside market has had to renew previous
loans obtained from the Bank of England, but it has not bad
to obtain fresh loans to any amount worth speaking of. In
the outside market the rate of interest has not been higher
than i}4 per cent, sometimes being about 4 per cent. Tb«

has given way. It opened on Monday at 4J^
per cent, then fell to 4ig per cent, and at one time on Thursday was as low as Slg per cent. But after the issue of the
Bank return on Thursday afternoon it rose once more to 4 per
cent. The Bunk of England, however, persisted in charging

will take place to the
River Plate.
The passage of the silver bill has caused, as was to be expected, a sharp rise in the price of silver. But the amount of
business doing here is very small. This market so completely
follows the lead of New York that brokers do not venture to
make a quotation until the opening price in New York is telegraphed For the time being India is not buying, and the Indian
«zcbanges, though they are advancing, are not advancing as
rapidly as the price of silver. The price of the silver is now
60d. per ounce. In May of last year the price was as low as
41 15-16d. per ounce. Shortly afterwards the British mint
began buying on an unusually large scale, and there was also

in fresh business. On one side is the fact that the speculative
accounts for the rise in all markets have been reduced, and
that a bear account in several cases has been opened. Money
also is somewhat easier, and the shipments of gold from New
York inspire the hope that the worst of the stringency is over.
But on the other hand the banks are not yet inclined to lend
liberally, and are warning their customers that it will be well
not to commit themselves heavily. Moreover, on the River
Plate, the situation there is very critical, and at any moment
accidents may occur which may have a serious influence upon
our market. Further, the Egyptian Daira Conversion, which
is announced this week, has given much dissatisfaction to
holders and, lastly, the state of the Balkan Peninsula continues to inspire apprehension. All markets, therefore, are
exceedingly inactive, and none more so than the American.
Brokers, iadeed, report that the purchase or sale of a few hundred shares materially aflfects quotations.
At Montevideo this week gold has risen to a premium, and
in Buenos Ayres the premium is still 200 per cent. When the
negotiations for a loan between the Argentine Government
and the London Syndicate failed the Argentine Government
asked authority from Congress to issue notes to the extent of
100 million dollars, and the authori'.y has been given.
According to the newspaper telegrams the notes are to be
employed to pay off cedulas, but according to private advices
received by bankers here that is a mistake. They are to be
secured by a mortgage on the public lands of the Republic,
and though they are not legal tender are to be really issued to
supply currency. Fearing a run, the banks in the Republic
have been hoarding notes, though they are so greatly depreciated, and in consequence currency is exceedingly scarce.
Therefore the Government thinks it is necessary to issue further
notes. The best informed, however, doubt whether the notes
will be received, and indeed they are skeptical whether they
will be issued. According to them the object of the Government is to prove to the great London Syndicate that it can do
without their help by issuing more paper, hoping thereby to
induce the Syndicate to accept its own terms. And this
opinion appears to be corroborated by the fact that negotiations for a loan have again begun.

per cent for loans. At the Stock Exchange settlement, which
began on Monday and ended on Wednesday, the rate charged
by bankers was 5 per cent Within the Stock Exchange the
carrying-over rates were stiflfer than last time.
There is much speculation in the city as to whether an arrangement has not been arrived at between the Bank of England and the six great banks to keep up the value of money.
"Other deposits" at the Bank of England, in which are included the bankers' balances, now exceed 29 millions sterling,
rery nearly as large as they were at this time last year. But
-at this time last year day-to-day money could be obtained in
any amount at from J^ to 1 percent, whereas now 4 and sometimes 4}4 per cent has to be paid.' The inference of the city is
that there is a combination of some kind between the Bank of
England and the six other great banks, in accordance with
which the latter keep unusually large balances at the Bank,
but whether they are paid anything for doing so, or what kind
of consideration they receive, cannot be discovered. Indeed,
it is not admitted at all by the Bank of England or by the
other banks that an understanding exists. Meantime the

—The Old Colony Trust Company of Boston, which was
incorporated under Massachusetts laws this year, is modeled
closeb' after the great New York trust companies. A surplus
of $500,000 was paid in, in addition to the capital of
$1,000,000, and the stockholders are personally liable for
$1,000,000 more, making this the strongest trust company in
Boston. The list of directors and of stockholders is one of
the best ever obtained for any Massachusetts corporation.
The company has begun operations under auspicious circum-

exi)ects to do a large New York business, as its
will make it especially desirable as agent in all
financial transactions for companies having business to be
done in Boston. The card of tlie Old Colony may be found in
OUT advertising columns among the trust companies.

excellent one.

In our railroad events the chief things this week have been
the passing of the dividend on St. Louis & San Francisco first
preferred and thefailure of the New England directors to even
notice the subject of any alliance with the New Haven &
Hartford Company; the late rumors on this latter subject
appear to have been groundless, as heretofore. The wuole
Western situation has greatly improved, as a matter of fact,
by the steady advance in wheat, corn and oats during the past
few months. The clamor for lower rates on grain has less and
less foundation with each cent advance in the market prices.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
Btock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2 to 6 per cent,
with 4 per cent as a fair average. Prime commercial paper
is quoted at 5(a5J.< p. c.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a gain in specie of £76,000, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 38'-57, against 38'90 last week; tlie discount rate
was advanced to 5 per cent. The Bank of Fiance lost

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—Tlie week
has continued very dull iu Stock Exchange circles, and the
chief interest has centred in foreign affairs, including our
own exchange market and the large export of gold. Silver
also ha.s corae into prominence on speculative dealings, and
has risen sharply in the price of bullion certificates. It is generally accepted that the gold exports are owing mainly to the
financial troubles in South America and the consequent advance in the Bank of England rate to 5 per cent, which causes
London to be a seller rather than buyer of American securiTil is is a situation which we must always be prepared
ties.
t J face, and the more our securities are held abroad the more
cosmopolitan we will become in being more deeply interested
in financial peace and prosperity in every quarter of the globe.
The silver movement is something new and not easily understood by outsiders, nor its prol)able future course estimated.
The United States Government having been forced by the new
law into the position of a large buyer every month, the silver
speculators here and abroad will probably try to effect a
species of temporary corner on the market supply; as a mere
guess at the course of affairs, we may prognosticate that there
will be a further rise of more or less importance, and after
considerable unloading, a final collapse in the price to

of railroad bonds, with the exception of Atchison
Prices
incomes, have been pretty well maintained, and some issues
show a slight improvement. The Atchison incomes, however, have fallen gradually on sales occasioned by a fear (perhaps groundless) that the expected interest will not be declared
at the meeting on the 5th inst, though to-day a director says it
wiU be 2|^ p. c. They close at 64}2i as against 66 last Friday.

Railroad and Miscellaneons Storkii. Several unfavorable
circumstances have combined to disturb prices for stocks.
Early in the week came reports of the Argentine insurrection,
of the heavy fall in Argentine securities in London and the
consequent selling of American stocks by foreign holders, and

week; it closes at 72. Atchison stock was also affected by
this, as well as by crop rumors and bear attacks, and closes
at 42}^, or 2J^ points lower than last week. The fall of seven
points in Edison General Electric is said to be due to the selling out by some of the members of the former pool or syndi-

in cotton for future delivery at this market
exhibited decided buoyancy in values at the opening of the
week under review. The weather reports were regarded as
confirming the advices of severe drought in the extreme west
of the cotton-growing region; the rains in Georgia and the
Carolinas were regarded as excessive; the manipulation of the
dealings in July options in the nature of a "comer" continued
with much vigor; also, advices were stronger from Liverpool
and Manchester, and silver was advancing. Against all these
influences the bears had little i o ©ffer. Prices were already very
high and there was a reasonable prospect of a full crop next
season, was about all they could say. On Tuesday afternoon
and in the course of Wednesday slight declines were made.
There was some selling to realize. The belief gained ground
that the drought in Texas had not injured the crop except in
a limited area; the excessive rains ceased on the
Atlantic coast, the spot market became dull here and at Liverpool, and the manipulation of July options came to an end.
But values gave way very slowly, and at the close on Thursday
the speculation in silver became again an element of strength,
making sellers very timid in offering the autumn and winter
montlis.
To-day, the closing of Liverpool this afternoon
till next Wednesday for the bank holiday made business
rather slow. Prices were very firm, however, especially for
the early months, with October taking a lead in the volume
of business that it has not shown in some time. Cotton on
the spot has been unsettled and quieter. Quotations were

The above statement shows: 1. That the total receipts from
the plantations since September 1, 1889, are 5,788,125 bales: in
1888-89 were 5,501,804 bales; in 1887-88 were 5,497,451 bales.
2.
That, although the receipts at the outports the past week
were 2,596 bales, the actual movement from plantations was
only 213 bales, the balance being taken from the stocks at
the interior towns. Last year the receipts from the plantations
tor the game week were 412 bales and for 1888 they were

—

1,906 bales.

Amount or Cotton in Sight Aug. 1.—In the table below
we give the receipts from plantations in another form, and add
to them the net overland movement to July 1, and also the
takings by Southern spinners to the same date, so as to givlB
substantially the amount of cotton now in sight.

The speculation in wheat for future delivery attained great
oroDortions early in the week and prices made a smart advance It was rpported that the prospects for the springsown crop in the Northwest had been greatly impaired by a
prolonged drought, culminating in a period of scorching heat.
But the prospects of the crop in Europe were said to have improved and there was free selling for foreign account, which
values, and a return
soon gave a check to the upward turn in
natural selling to realize
of fairly good weather, with the
course to prices,
after a smart advance, gave a downward
which had not been fully checked at the close of to day's
business was rebusiness. On Tuesday a pretty fair ppot
ported including choice spring at |1 05^@|1 06, and choice
red winter at $1 01}^, but to-day the latter sold at 97^<a93c.
for local milling, there being little or no export demand.

Indian corn was the object of a speculation early in the
week which it is no exaggeration to describe as furious. It
was predicated upon the prolonged drought which has been
felt over a large portion of the corn- growing region, and particularly in the far West— Kansas, Nebraska and the neighboring States and territories. The 8f>eculation was a tended by
an advance in prices, which was aided by a demand from the
" shortb" to cover contracts.
But the rise in prices was
checked by a marked falling ofif in the export demand and
extreme dulness in the local trade, which induced free selling to realize, and to-day the close was weaker under rumors
that some rain had fallen where it was much needed.*

up so freely
May and June that their

that distributers stocked

and winter fabrics in
stocks on hand are ample for the pursuance of current trade.
It is, however, certain that stocks in the hands of local and
near-by jobbers are nearing the replenishing point, because an
unusually good trade has been done by them the past two
months. There was a good steady movement in heavy clothing woolf-ns, fall ginghams and dress fabrics, &c.,on account
of back orders, and an improved busiress in light-weight
woolens for men's wear was reported by some of the commission houses. The jobbing trade continued to improve, and
more than an average businfss (for this early stage of the
season) was done by the leading houses.
Domestic Woolkn Goods.— There was an improved de
mand for men's-wear woolens, in which both heavy and light
fall

desTiptions participated.

Spring cassimeres, worsted suitinKs. overcoatings, indigo-blue flannels and blacK and colored
serges were in fair request by buyers on the spot, and goodsized orders for leading

makes were received by the mill
agents through traveling Kalesmen. Heavy clothing woolens
continued to move steadily on account of former transactions, and there wa-s an unusuallv good supplementary de-

mand

for

The value of the New York exports since January 1 hare
been $4,05,').168 in 1890, against $.5,064,419 in 1889.
Staple cotton goods were only in moderate demand at first
han<l8, but there was a fair movement in some descrptionson
account of back orders. Brown sheetings were in light demand by jobbers, but prices ruled stealy save in the case of
low grades, which were a trifle easier. Bleiched goods were
in moderate request, and leading makes are firmly held by
agents. CJolored cottons were in better demand by jobbers
and the manufacturing trade, and prices ruled firm all along
the line. Dark ginghams continued active, and a fair, though
irregular, business was done in dark prints. Print cloths
were in moderate demand, and a proposed curtailment of
production has imparted steadiness to prices, which closed at
8 6-16c. for 64x64b and i^c. for 56x60s.

Foreign Dry Goods.— The demand for imported goods at
first hands was by ro means active, the impending tariff
legislation having rendered holders and intending buyers very
cautious in their operations. The jobbing trade was more
active at times, some of the large bouses having determined
to dispose of their recent importations on a slight margin of
profit, without regard to the outcome of the proposed McKinley tariff bill now under discussion in Congress. Prices
are without quotable change, but for the most part very firm,
