For if there Is one thing more than another which la furclng the currency question to the front, it is the flnanolal prospect not ouly of the servants of tUe Oov" emment of India, but of the Indian Government Itself. Tbe loss of In. oome, amunntlne to over 2S per cent In all moneys remittrt from India to England, to which Englishmen dependent upon the Indian revenue are at preaent exposed, ha* long been a sulOeot of Increasing complaint, and only the other day found very forcible expression In our columns from a correspondent signing himself " Anglo-Indian." But the losa to private lodlviduals, aerloua a* It la, la aa nothing compared with the emborraaament ihroatenlng the Government of India if the amount which It has to remit to England la to be Inoreaaed a further ten, twenty or thirty per cent by tbe continued fall In tbe Indian standard of oarreary compared with the English.

The combination of these demands has visibly contracted the floating supply, so much so, indeed, that the discount establishments have found themselves in a position to give }4 por cent more for deposits, and are now allowing 1 per cent for money at call and 13^ per cent if with 7 or 14 days' notice of withdrawal. Although the influences now bearing upon the market are in some measure of a transient character, signs are not wanting that the market is being gradually brought into a healthier condition.

Some rather conflicting evidences as to the real state of trade have been observed during the week. are prepared for a certain amount of quietness at this season, owing to the holi- We days; that business, therefore, should have been on a restricted no surprise. But the improvement in the demand for money, the hardening of the discount quotations, and the advance of }4 per cent in the rates of allowance on deposits by the discount establishments should indicate a healthier condition of commercial affairs, and possibly such is the case. At all events there is no reason to apprehend that we are again retrogradmg. On the other hand the question of short time is being much debated in Manchester, and in the hardware districts agitation against the current railway charges is being revived. With these facts to contemplate it will not answer to indulge in too sanguine anticipations merely because there has been a slight infusion of life into the money market. From a closer examination of the position of affairs we may, however, fairly assume that the progress towards commercial rehabilitation, though very slow, is still proceeding, and from the absence of speculation, the footing secured is all the better established. It will certainly necessitate the employment of a considerable amount of energy to extricate the hardware industries from the slough of depression in which they have been so long engulfed; but it will be a move in the right direction to stimulate business by reducing the cost of carriage as much as possible. small profit is better than no profit, and if any signs of improvement in the iron trade are to be stifled by scale has created A This is at all decided, a a loss in the reserve of £450,065, the proportion to liabilities being 40-68 per cent, against 41-99 per cent last week.

If the railway companies consult their own interests and examine the Other senurltles Reserve of notes and coin Coin and bnllion Reserve to liabilities matter from an impartial point of view they could not be long in detecting the wisdom of suj porting the manufacturers to the full extent of their power, though of course with due regard to the interests of their shareholders. Business in Manchester has naturally been affected by the state of the silver market. The continued depreciation in the value of bar silver is naturally creating considerable anxiety respecting the position of our trade with the East. India has not of late been supplying us with so much wheat, whilst we have been sending her large quantities of cotton piece goods Sec., thus causing the balance of trade to be more than usually in our favor hence the fall in the exchange, which has been intensified and accelerated by the freedom with which the Indian Council have disposed of their drafts. That silver should decline Id. per ounce between the arrangement of two operations is possibly almost unique in the history of the market, and is unchallengeable evidence as to its weakness. Were there any assured prospect of a recovery we might regard the present depression with equanimity, but unfortunately it remains quite an open question whether the full extent of the fall has been reached. Whilst this uncertainty prevails the developmer.t of our Eastern trade must be hindered. How ever, the silver difficulty, notwithstanding the general trade outlook, is considered to be brightening, and hopeful views of the future continue to be entertained.

FRIDAY, Aasaal -iO. lMM«-3 P. n. Honey Market and Financial Sitnation.—The priDcipal topic of the week bu beea the reaction in stocks, ariuDg from ibe anusoal itriogency in money. The rate of 1 per cent had so long prevailed that stock operators of the present day bad almost forgotten there ever was a 6@7 per cent money market, and the recent advance quite took tht-m by surprise. The highest rates this week were reached on Tuesday, when 15@26 per cent per annum waa paid in exceptional cases; but since then rates have been easier, and to-day the maximum was 7; it should b« understood that the low rates of l@li per cent quoted at some time each day sigoiticaiice, as thcM prices merely indiDO have cate thai when brokers were nearly all supplied, the money lenders took anything they could set for one day. Looking beyond the present moment, it is aifficult to predict the prrwpects of the money market during the autumn, as there are at lea»t three important points to be coiuidered 6nt, the extent to which funds will be drawn to this centre by a 6 per cent rate for rail loans, and this includes the matter of gold imports; secondly, the efiFect likely to be produced by the large bond calls of the Treasury, and how far the surrender of bonds held b; the thanks may lead to the contraction of their outstanding notes; thirdly, th« effect of the recent silver certificate law, which authorixea the iaaue of small certificate*, and may enable the Treasury to get out and keep in circulation a large amount of this clasa of currency. In view of all the circuniataaces, it is impoasible to forecast the future with certainty ; but it aeems highly probable that rates for money will at least range at 4®8 per cent, even if there ia no troublesome stringency in the market. The open markc. r«tes for call loans during the week on toek and bond collaterals have ranged from 1 to 13 per cent, bat aa high as 10^90 per cent was bid on Tueadav, and to-day the raica were 4^7 per cent.

The tone of the market has been decidedly weak, and most classes have declined, some of them quite sharply. The may be attributed to the same causes which have affected tlie stock market. The Texas & Pacifies have relapsed into dulneaa, and have declined a little, while Erie bonds have been weak on a large business. West Shore 4s have also further declined.

Everybody seemed to have turned bear for the time, and there was a rush to sell, which carried all stocks down considerably, though the greatest declines were in Lackawanna and the grangers, and of the latter class the Omahas led. This weakneM;*a]>iae from its being so marked, was all the more noticeable from the lack of sufficient cause for it in the condition of affiurs, there being nothing new, beyond the money stringency, to affect the market so seriouily. It was l'<rgely due to bear pressure, and was speculative in its character, a Kood part of the sales being reported for tbe short account. The influences brought to bear against the market were the continued pressure the money market and the speculative rumors in connection with pool affairs, more especially thore growing out of the trouble between the Baltimore Ohio and Pennsylvania roads. Cutting of rates has been charged as usual, but nothing serious of this nature seems to be definitely placed, and the meetings of the different pool committees this week were har- m & monious, and agreements were made to maintain rates. On Thursday a reaction from the decline took place, and nearly all stocks recovered a part of their previnuj loss, the recovery being attributed to the natural reaction from the sharp decline, together with an easier money mnrket, and the reports of shipments of gold to this cotutry from abroad. This improvement continued to-day, and with a good deal of covering prices advanced quickly, and closed at or near the best figures of the day.

The following statistics of companies which have issued noannual reports for the year 1885 are taken from the volume of Poor's Mamial just issued to make a more complete record in the files of the Chronicle: Atlantic k Faciflc.

The decrease in net income for the past year is $829,086. The increase in interest and rentals of |56.964 is caused by the non-payment by the Kentucky C< ntral RR. Co. of $60,000 for annual rent of the joint use of the track of the Knoxville branch from LivingBton to Jellico, which is now in litigation. The decrease in earnings is accounted for as follows: 1. The Selma division, from Montgomery to Selma, a distance of fifty miles, was operated under lease which expired on April 30, 1885. The earning*i of this division for the ten months, Julv, 1884, to April, 1885, were $91,631. 2. In ] 884-85 the Exposition travel to New Orleans was very large, the decrease in passenger earnings is principally due to — this. 3. The short wheat crop in the States of Kentucky, Tenand Southern Illinois affected the nessee, Southern Indiana revenue, 4. The heavy floods during the month of March, 1886, in Alabama and Tennessee caused the suspension of through business to New Orleans for a period of nearly a month, not only decreasing the earnings, but largely increasing the expenses. These floods were unprecedented, the Alabama River having been five feet higher than it was ever known before. 6. The strikes at East St. Louis and the strike of the switchmen at Evansville also caused a decrease in the earnings and an increase in the expenses. 6. The change in gauge also caused a loss in revenue and an interruption of regular business. On the 29th, 30th and 31st of May, the days the change was made, business was almost entirely suspended. About half of the rolling was changed from five feet to the standard four feet nine inch gauge, between the 15th and the 30th of Ma,y. This left the company short of rolling stock for this period, and after the tracks were changed on May 29th to 31st, the other half of the rolling stock had to be sent to the shops to be changed. This left the companv with insufllcient rolling stock to do its business for a period of from twenty to thirty days. The construction on the entire line amounted to $618,159, of which amount there will be returned to the company by North Alabama. Mobile Decatur, South the Nashville Montgomery and Southern Division Cumberland Ohio $115,041, making a balance of $503,117, which has been charged co capital account or cost of road. The construction account includes. changing the guage of the track from five feet to standard four feet nine inches as follows: Maintiacks, 1,583 miles; sidetracks, 185; total, 1,769, costing $91,997. Also changing the gauge of 384 locomotives at a cost of $53,480 and 8,537 passenger and freight cars at a cost of $49,577: making the total cost of change of track and & & & & rolling stock, $195,055.

THE CHRONICLE. 224 ivoi. XT.ni. Forityth, Oa. — Wlille there are some fleldB of good ootton. on a large proportion of the acreaeo In cotton the weed is email and uniiromlslng. Tho weather during the mouth has been generally fuvoruble and the progpeta has improved, expeclally the last week or ten daye. Cellar Keyi, Fla.—Ex<xi»lve r{tlu8 have damaged crops considerably throughout the Stat^. Archer^ /'to.— ('rop** very graesy. Tallahattte, Fla.— Two or three showers almost daily during July. Setma, Ala. —Vroy prospects briirhter. The weather has been very favorable during tlie latter part of the month, and lie'ds are generally clean. Shreveport, Louisiana.— Therti has been a suRloient quantity of rain, and the cotton and corn crops give promise of a large yield. Orand Ooteau, Louisiana.— Cutum vrov rather poor in this neighborhood, in consequence of the abundant rain. LitUe Rock Ark.—.1a\y has been very favorable for crops in Arkansas, and planters have made the most of it. During the early pitrt of the month there was a good deal said about labor troubles on plantations in this vicinity. The matter was greatly mugntfled by certain St Louis There was never any feeling of papers, and also by local papers. trouble on but one pliice, and that soon passed away. In fact was a question only of two or three days duration. Mount Ida, Ark- Fine seasonable weather for growth of crops all tllO month. Corn and cotton never better. Ileiena, Ark.—Thv rainfall has been very partial. During the first part of the month many places had too much while others had none. I believe this entire section has had plenty, aad tha crops are growing finely. At this writing (Aug. 2), we had rain yesterday and last niiiht (light) and this morning the clouds are very heavy and dark, and imlioate more rain. I am 63 years old, raised on a o itton plantation in the bottom, and my experience is that a wet .August makes a short crop in the bottoms. But it requires more rain on the uplands. Crops planted since the overflow are growing nicely, and, as some of them say, "If we do not have frost before Christmas will make good crops." Austin, Tenn. Cotton doing well. Indianola, Texas.— l.ong drought in Southwest Texas. Hundreds of cattle and thousands of sheep have died. The-drought continues. Cleburne, Texas.—The drought as a general thing has continued, but several places In the county have been blessed with good rains timely for corn and cotton. There cau be no question as to the damage done to the prospects for a fair crop as a whole, but the general impression prevails that there will be a very light average of both corn and cotton. Nothii g else has occurred to interfere with planting interests. — — European Cotton Consumption to Aug. 1.— We have received to-day, by cable, Mr. Ellison's cotton figures, brought down to Aug. 1.

There will not be a full crop by any means. FayettevUle, N. O.— First of month very wet, then turned off dry, and erops began fixing some, hut they seem to be recovering under light We had but one light rain after July 15, and xalns we are now having. weather the hottest we have had this year so far. Stateburg, S. O.-Rain fell very lightly, quantity Inappreciable, on six other days however, at no great distance from this place, more or less heavy rains fell on these six davs in some one or more directions, so that thei-e were actually fifteen days of rain over this section of country. On the ITth only a litht rain fell here, nine hundredths; but a few miles to the southward it was very heavy— the heaviest of tho season— Bomelhtng of a clouii-burst at Wedgelleld Depit. Cotton differs a ; (tood deal in condition about here on dilTt^rent plantations. On some the proi-iwct is good, while on others the weed is small and has little fruit on it as yet. I suspect that imperfect work has as much to do with tile TM'Oiness of Mime of these crops as excess of rain. KAiken, S. Early part of month evcesslvely wet.
