THE FINAXCIAL SITUATION.
Two
important events have this week unsettled the
markets.
The one of paramount importance, of course,
was the change in the condition of the President. The
unfavorable news from his bedside on Saturday had a
depressing effect upon stocks, and although the intelligence
was a little more assuring on ilonday the impression prevailed that the suspense must soon be ended and that the
President had not long to live.
This shock was especially
severe, coming, as it did, after so much progress had been
made toward recovery. The speculators for a decline
seized the opportunity to press prices down, and the market yielded, to react on the receipt of more favorable
news
in the afternoon,
and to fall off again on Tuesday
Washington dispatches were less hopeful.
On Wednesday came the other complication. The advices about the President were encouraging, but this was
counteracted by active money, the result largely of

money market on Wednesday gives evidence of this.
That there was no good cause for the excessive stringency in loanable funds is shown by the fact that at the
time money was bid up to 1-16 of 1 percent commission
on Wednesday and ^-16 on Thursday, call loans could be
obtained from the banks, on acceptable collateral, at the
legal rate, and lenders were glad to make time loans on
Government bonds for six months at 4 per cent and on
good stock collateral at from 5 to G.
Active money in August is unusual. Last year the rate
on call was low all through this month, ranging from 1 to
in
in September the range was from 1^ to 4
4 per cent
October from 1^ to C, and not until the last of November
did money loan for a commission. We had a steady flow
of gold from Europe, commencing early in August, but
at the same time we had a drain to the interior which
reduced the surplus reserve of the banks from $18,471,275, the maximum for the year, on the week ended July
17, to $1,732,125 for the week ended November Cth, and

Railroads in Mexico.— The Philadelphia Ledger haa given
a sketch of the three great railroads in progress in Mexico under
management of citizens of the United States. The material
was furnished mainly by Mr. W. W. Nevin, Secretary of the
Mexican National Road, to which the most space is devoted.
Extracts are made as follows
"The large American investments in Mexican railways are
attracting great attention. There are three great American companies engaged in these enterprises the Mexican Central Railway, the Mexican National Railway and the Mexican Southern
Railway. Territorially the three companies divide the republic
thus: The Mexican Central Railway has the northern belt, with
an entrance into the City of Mexico ; the Mexican National
Railway has the central belt, it.tmain trunk lines .starting east,
west and north from the City of Mexico the Mexican Southern
Railway has the south belt of the republic, connecting it with

making surveys, and in a
short time will begin field construction. Besides these
three strong companies, there are several organizations or
parties who have secured concessions from the President of the
Mexican Republic since the adjournment of Congress. The
holders of these concessions claim that they are absolute;
other authorities in Mexico pronounce them only provisional,
and subject to the action of Congress when it convenes next
winter. Some of these concessions claim to have companies
behind them; others are po.ssibly only secured with the end of
Belling them. The Mexican Central Railway may be called the
outgrowth of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company of the United States. It is controlled by the same men
and has the same capital behind it. It represents the ordinary
gauge in Mexico. The Mexican National Railway Company is
the outgrowth and supplement of the Denver & Rio Grande
Railway Company. It is controlled by the same men as that
company and has the same capital behind it. Popularly these
roads are distinguished as follows: The Southern is known in
common parlance as ' General Grant's road;' the National as
the Palmer-Sullivan Concession,' Geneiul William J. Palmer
himself being President of this road; and the Central as the
' Boston Road.'
" The Palmer-Sullivan enterprise is probably the oldest of
all.
It was begun in 1872, when a couple of million dollars
were raised, thorough surveys made of all Mexico, and a concession secured. The crash of 1873 and a question of interpretation on the concession suspended operations for the time; but
the Palmer party have been hard at work ever since, securing
at last, September 13, 1880, their new and well-matured concession.
Under this concession they are empowered to build two
great trunk lines— one from the City of Mexico northward to
Laredo, the other from the City of Mexico westward to the
Pacific cca.st, at Manzanillo— with a number of branches, the
most important of which are two lines from Zacatecas to San
Luis Potosi and from Zacatecas to Lagos, and a fine route
from Monterey to Matamoras via the Rio Grande River. On
the northward, or international line, this company has a
concession from the Federal Government of Mexico of t6,500
per kilometer. On the inter-oceanic line, from the City of
Mexico to the Manzanillo, a subsidy of $7,000 per kilometer.
Under these conce.'isions the mileage by divisions has been
determined by the engineers of the company, as follows:

is estimated at about 274 miles ; the length of the other divisions at about 1,461 miles. On the.Central many thoasands of
native laborers are also at work. A division of 50 miles, from
the City_ of Mexico to Tula, is in operation. Another short
division is running from Guaymas northward. Active construction is going on from El Paso southward. In all 15,000 or moremen are said to be at work on the Central lines.
" The Mexican Southern Railway was chartered by the Legislature of New York in March last, with the following list of
incorporators and directors : Ulysses 8. Grant, Edwin D.
Morgan, Mafias Romero, Porflrio Diaz, Francisco Meijniro,
Miguel Castro, Ignacio Pombo, Ignacio Mejia, Fidencio Hernandez, Francisco de Landero y Cos, Jose Maria Mala, Sidney
Dillon, Russell Sage, Jesse Seligman, Frederick L. Ames, Frank
Work, Jay Gould, Henry G. Marquand, Amos L. Hopkins,
Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., Collis P. Huntington, James H. Work,
James B. Houston, Solon Humphreys, Stephen B. Musgrave,
John B. Frisbie, Edward Washburn, T'homas Nickerson, William S. Warnei and Greenville M, Dodge.
The President is
General U. S. Grant and the Vice-President General G. M.
Dodge. The Executive Committee is composed of Jay Gould,
Frank Work and Russell Sage, the latter being also the Treasurer.
The total length of the road and branches will be
about eight hundred miles, the larger part of which is to be
pushed to completion without delay. The main line of the
Mexican Southern Railroad is to start from the City of Mexico,
where it will connect with the Mexican National and Mexican
Central roads, and with any other lines which may run from
that point northward to the Rio Grande. It is designed especially to connect with the Southwestern system of railroads in
the United States. From the city of Mexico it will run southwesterly through Pueblo and Tehuacan to the city of Oaxaca,
the capital of the State of the same name. The road is also to
run from the Gulf of Mexico into the city of Oaxaca, or to &
point on the line running south from the city of Mexico to that
plase.

stringency in money, advance in tlie Bank of England rate,
decline in stocks, and rampant speculation in wheat and corn,
have been the important features of the week.
It appears that the payments on account of the five per cent
coupon bonds, called in and payable August 12, have been small,
and the bonds, for some reason, come in very slowly. This has

" What may be called the ordin.ary disbursements of the Treasury between now au<l the early part of Xovember are (1) about $2,800,000 on
September 1. being quarterly interest on 412's; (2) about $7,400,000
October 1, being quarterly interest on the 4's; (3) about .$3,500,000
November 1, being quarterly Intersst on the extended o's, and (4)
about $15,000,000 September 4, being quarterly p.avments ior pensions.
This makes a total of about $28,700,000 cash to come out of the Treasury in the ordinary way between now and sav the middle of November.
Added to the amount before named, which may be drawn on account of
Doud redemptions, and we have a total of about $70,000,000, which
can be got f roui the Treasury in the next ten or eleven weeks, and the
greater part of it within the first half of that time.
" On the other hand, what must be deducted for payments into the
Treasury for customs and internal taxes 1 Of late the customs payments
have been very heavy. In the first seventeen days of this mouth ti.e
cash at the SuD-Treasury here was iucieased from $80,228,000 to $90,562.000, but this included some e.'sceptional or extraordinary receipts.
Ills to be assumed that while there is some doubt as to the amount of
bonds which will be presented to the Treasury for cash payment, or, in
other words, about the amount of money which will come out of the
Treasury for extraordinary payments, there is none about the money
winch will go mto the Treasury for customs .lud taxes, except that the
amount may vary from the best estimates. The customs receipts at

" These disbursements in rougli may be put down at not less tban
$40,000,000, tbe estimates being that $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 are
due on account of coupon 5 per cents, which became matured obligations on August 12, and $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 on account of registered 5 per cents due October 1, but payable anytime befi)re that day,,
with interest at 5 per cent to date of presentation. Of course if these bonds
are Qot presented for payment, the money to discharge them will lie in
the TreasHiy: but it has been calculated, and apparently with reasou,
that the bonds on which interest has ceased would be promptly presented, and that those which carry only 5 per cent interest would be promptly presented the moment that money could be lent at a higher rate in
the market; and the fact that $30,000,000 or more cash was waiting
to come out of the Treasury would be sufficient to keep the market rate
for loans a little below 6 per cent. This, we "say, was the calculation;
but thus far it has been a disappointing one as respects the coupon Ds
which matured on the 12th insr.; so far as it relates to the .$30,000,000
or more registered 5s, there has not been time to decide whether that,

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.— In the stock market
rather an unexpected pressure was exerted by the stringency in
money. The bank reserves had been declining heavily for two
weeks, but such a scarcity of money as to make brokers pay
3-16 of 1 per cent a day was not looked for in August, and prices
naturally yielded. The pressure in money was freely cliarged
and it has also been a common report of late
that the heaviest operator in the New York market has been a
large seller of stocks during a month or more past, and has no
longer the same interest which he had in supporting prices.
Without vouching for the truth of this report, we give it for whatever it may be worth, as a part of the current street talk. The
railroad war in rates, which bears mostheavily on such trunk-line
to manipulation,
—
stocks as depend on through traffic Michican Central, for example — has had a depressing influence for some time past, and
added to this have been the exaggerated reports of bad crops,
and this week the stringency in money, so that everything at
the moment favors the b"ear side. On the other hand, railroad
earnings are generally large, and the active business throughout
the country should go far to balance the loss of earnings on grain
transportation.

{For the year ending May 31, 1831.)
The annaal report of this company has juflt been iwaed. The
report now refers to the property and alfairs of the Chicago it
Northwestern Baiiway Compaty and its proprietary roada as *
unit, and abandons what has recently appeared to be a nsnleas
distinction between the road puper ana the so-called proprietary lines. The result of the jfXr's operations is qaite farorable, and shows a surplus of income over all pavments (incladinpr dividendn) of $1,3.")7,229.
The net income, however, bef->r*
paying dividends, was ;P302,666 less than in 1879-80, owing to
the large increase in operating expenses.
The earnings from the whole property were as follows

The amount of bonds issued during the year was $7,054,000,

State, so far as the same could conveniently be effected, independently of the organization of the Chicago

Denver Longmont & Northwestern.
This company is
reported to have made a favorable contract with the Denver
Utah & Pacific Railroad Company, by which it saves the building of fifteen miles of road, it having the use of the Denver
Utah & Pacific line to that extent into Denver for the intere.st
upon one-half the actual construction cost of the line. The
Longmont road is now railed to Canfleld, some ten miles out of
Longmont, and will open this section for traiflo on the 26th.
The whole line to Denver, thirty-two miles from Longmont, will
be completed October 1.

& Qnincy.—
dispatch from Denver. Col., Aug. 14, says: " This morning's
newspapers contain a report that the Denver <& Rio Grande and
the Chicago Burlington & Quincy railroad companies have
agreed to build together the Burlington & Missouri Road to
Denver. The end of the Burlington & Missouri Road is now
about 200 miles from this city. It is also stated that the two
companies have formed a close and permanent alliance and will
make the Utah extension in common to Ogden, there connectiag with the Central Pacific Road, thus making another
through line from Chicago to San Francisco via Denver."
Georgia Pacific— The construction contract for building the
Georgia Pacific Railroad from Atlanta, Ga., to the Missis.sippi
Eiver was signed Saturday last by the Georgia Pacific Railroad
Company, of Georgia, and the connecting railroad companies
which are to be consolidated, making one comoany from Atlanta,
Ga., to the Mississippi River. The construction company which
takes the contract for building this line of from 450 to 500 miles
IS the Richmond & Danville Extension Co., which was chartered
and organized for this pnrpo.se. Its subscription list has been
completed for a capital of $5,000,000. The board of directors,
having approved the list which had been signed for that
amount, made the first call of 20 per cent upon the stock, payable September 1.
The construction company thus has a subscribed capital of 15,000,000.
This, it is said, means the early
construction of the road from Atlanta to the Mi.ssi.ssippi River

Mntual Union Telegraph Company.—Under date
13, Messrs.
George William Ballon
&
of August
Co. have issued a circular
from which we quote the following:
In response to numerous inquiries from tbc holders of the securities of
the Mutual Union Telegraph CompaDy, we talce pleasure iu submitting a
statement of the progress of the company up to date, together witn a
general idea of what tUe officers hope to accomplish within the next
sixty days.
The old line between Boston, Mass., and Washington, D. C, has been
fully equipped, passing through the cities of Proviilencc. ilanford, New
York, Philadelphia and lialtimore, with connections from tlio main line
to Newport and Spriugfield, Mass., Newark, N. J., and Wilmington, Del.,
a small link of the Newark line being not quite tlnished.
The extension of the company's lines which was contemplated four
mouths ago, and tor the building of which bonds were suliscribed, is
under construction, .and the rapidity with which the work is being prosecuted bids fair to promise that the entire line between New York and
Cliicago. by way of Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo and Detroit, will
be open for business by the early part of October ; auotUer line will connect Boston with Albany, by way of Springfleld.
>
A contract has been made with the Chicago & Milwaukee Telegraph
Company for the use of their poles between Cliieaeo and .Milwaukee,
and it is expected that the uew lines which are being built between Milwaukee and St. Paul, and Chicago and St. Louis, by tlie Mutual Union Telegraph Company will be fluished simultaneously with the line from New
York to CbieaMO.
A southerly line has also been surveyed between Washington <$: Chicago, by way of Cumberland, Wheeling & Pittsburg, including Cincinnati. ZaneSvillcColuiulius, Indianapolis, Torre Haute and Vandalia, and
is being rapidly pushed towards completion, so that it is contidently
expected that the company will have two independent routes to the
West ready for service within the next ninety d.ay8.
A contract has also been made to extend tiie company's lines from St.
Louis to Kansas City, and it Is thought that they will be built before the
approach of winter.
A counectiou has also been made from Boston to Bangor via Portland,
and that line is to be comjileted by the llrst of November.
With a view to opening, for public business, the telegraph lines which
have been fully equippeil, the company is now seeking suiiablc locations
in the different cities for offices, and souie very favorable sites have
already been secured in New Y'ork. Boston, Philadilphia and Baltimore.
Ill conformity with the provisions relative to the purchase of Mutual
Union Telegraph Company's sccm-lties, there have been distributed to
purchasers up to date about a miUiou of
per cent bonds, aud it is very
gratifying to be able to assure you that the revenue from private wirea
now in operation, aiid from other sources, is amply tiullidcnt to pay the
interest on these l)oii(l3 outstanding, and, with the opening of regular
business to all the important telegraphic centres, we are convinced that
the company will be able from the start to cam a large surplus over ito
interest charges, and can therefore heartily recommend these securities
to the attenliou or investors. At the same time there is a great future
for the stock of the company, and we believe that the assured increase
of business will warrant its soon being placed upon a divideud-paTlng
basis.

There were, however, on Tuesday, many sales to
reolize, under which there was some depression, especially for
the early deliveries. There was renewed buoyancy on Wednesday, and it was said, on the Cotton Exchange, that " outsiders"
and notably Chicago spectilators, had become free buyers for the
rise, putting more faith in the bad crop accounts than was generally entertained on the Cotton Exchange. Prices were dearer
for all positions, and yesterday the excitement was increased by
the very strong accounts from Liverpool. There was a further
advance of 13@17 points for the early months, and 18@20 for
the later deliveries, but August receded 12 points, and the next
crop 6@9 points from top prices, the market closing barely
steady. Large quantities of " long " cotton, it wa.s a.sserted, had
been unloaded upon the " outside " bulls. To day there was an
early advance, wnich was afterwards lost, and the final close was
10@11 points lower for September and October, and 4@7 points
lower for the distant deliveries. Cotton on the spot advanced
%e. on Monday, and again on Thursday, and there ha.s been a
better demand for home consumption. To-day the market was
quiet at 12Mc. for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 616,400
bales.

figures indicate an increase in the cotton in sight
to-night of 366,927 bales as compared with the same date of 1880,
an increase of 646,089 bales a.s compared with 1879 and an increase of 5<I0,853 bales as compared with 1878.
In the preceding visible supply table we have heretofore only
included the interior stocks at the seven original interior towna.
As we did not have the record of the new interior towns for the
four years, we could not make a comparLson in any other way.
difficulty no longer exists, and we therefore make the following comparison, which includes the stocks at the nineteen
towns given weekly in our table of interior stocks instead of only
the old seven towns. We shall continue this double statement for
a time, but finally shall simply^ substitute the nineteen towns for
the seven towns in the precedmg table.

RBCKiPTa FROM THB PL\NT\Tio>r.s. The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicatiiisr the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Reueipt.s at the outports are sometimes misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another, at the expense of tlm interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following. In reply to friviiient inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not melude overland receipts or
Southern consumption! they are simply a statement ot the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

been quite liberal; still, in sympathy with wheat, prices have
made rapid advances. Prime extras and good double extrasfrom winter wheat have been comparatively scarce, and, being
in much request for export., have improved most. Eye flour
and corn meal are also dearer, the latter making an unusual
advance. To-day the market further advanced, but the clos&
was quiet.
The wheat market has been much excited by speculativeaction here and at the West, and prices have advanced rapidly.
The advance has beetl most decided for winter wheat for
August delivery, something of a "corner" on contracts for this
month being apprehended; and on Tuesday a phase of th&
speculation was buying for September and selling for October.
Exporters were liberal buyers down to the close of Wednesday'sbusiness, paying cash |1 36?6@1 31% for No. 2 red winter^
$1 32?2@1 33}6 for No. 3 do., $1 34@1 34 >i for No. 1 whiteand f 1 30>^@1 31 for No. 2 spring. The latest crop accountsgive good promise of a full yield of spring wheat, which will
go far to make good the deflciency in winter wheat. To-day
the opening was excited and buoyant, with some revival of export demand; but the close was quiet and easier. No. 2 red
winter, $1 45/4 for September and $1 47M for October.
Indian corn has also advanced materially. The regular tradehas not been active, but the speculation has frequently beea
quite excited. As in wheat, the improvement has been most
decided in early deliveries, the 'parties having out contracts
having become active buyers to cover them. The current
movement of com is very fair, but there cannot be any longer
a doubt that a prolonged drought in the Ohio Valley has cut
the next crop short. Corn needs abundant moisture, and a
drought affects it disastrously. To-day the opening was quite
buoyant, and further advances were paid, but the close was
dull. No. 2 mixed, 743^c. for September and 77 Mc for October.
Rye has been more firmly held, but is without activity. Barley continues quite nominal, selling slowly at 90c. @fl 10 for
State.
Oats have followed wheat and corn in an active speculation.
Yesterday the excitement was great, the business very
large, and the advance an important one. The " shorts " have
apparently again allowed themselves to be " cornered " on
early deliveries. To-day there was an excited opening, but the
close was flat ; No. 2 mixed 47?6@48Me. for September and

The demand at first hands has been restricted in volume the
past week (many package buyers having temporarily retired
from the market), but there was a good steady movement on
account of former orders, in which most descriptions of fall
and winter goods participated. There was a still further improvement in the jobbing trade, and a satisfactory business
was reported in nearly all departments by jobbers doing
business with retailers in the West, Southwest and South. The
general market retains the firmness of tone noted of late, and
prices have slightly advanced on print cloths, and on a few
makes
of cotton goods which are largely oversold.

export has been more active, but agents heve been compelled
to decline orders in some'cases owing to their inability to guarantee deliveries within the next few months. The exports of
domestics for the week ending August 16 were 3,106 packages,
of which 2,050 were sent to China, 324 to Great Britain, 301 to
United States of Colombia, 172 to Argentine Eepublic, 62 to
Mexico, and the remainder to other markets. The demand by
jobbers was chiefly confined to Rmall reassortments, but there
was a liberal movement in plain and colored cottons in execution of back orders, and an increased distribution was made by
jobbers. Stocks are in excellent shape and prices remain very

more activity and prices have advanced in the face of considerable sales to 3 15-16c. for extra 64x64's and 3%c. for 56x60*8 respectively. Prints were in fair demand and steady, and there
was a large movement in dress ginghams, and a fair business
