controlling .the speculation in

Wall Street have favored values this week, and the operat¬
ors for a rise, have had no
difficulty in sustaining and even
in

advancing prices.

It is not likely that the holders of
stocks have been able or have’ attempted to market their
securities; in fact, among outsiders there is little financial
strength and no groat speculative courage, while investors
are nort to any extent in the market at present.
Still the
weather has been warm and probably very favorable for
the crops, the banks are full of funds and extremely de¬
sirous of putting them out safely, a renewal of gold im¬
ports seems likely in the course of coming months insur¬
ing in that event a continuance of ease in money and
for the time being immunity from the silver danger, while
general business though contracted appears at least .to
wear a
hopeful look.
Altogether then there has been nothing in any of these
particulars to interrupt or interfere with the plans of the
operators for a rise. They started their movement from
unnaturally low values on good properties, and have had
that circumstance favoring them all the time.

through the winter wheat section, and only two of the lot
show any considerable increase. This may be corrected later
on when the yield of corn and cotton have also been fully
determined, and they begin to be marketed freely; per¬
haps then money will move faster, the traveling public
feel richer and the distribution of goods be more active.
But should not the outlook, as so far developed, incline
the speculator in stocks to make haste slowly ?

disposition to examine critically the company’s
affairs, is further stimulated by a dispatch from Boston,
purporting to come from the Treasurer’s office, stating that
the May and June earnings of the company are •* at the
“rate of $1,000,000 surplus per annum, after paying all
“fixed charges and a dividend of 7 per cent on the stock.v'
That would be very interesting, if true.
But the details
which accompany the dispatch show that the author of the
statement has used merely the figures of charges given in
the last report, without making any allowance for increase
in them in the present year; .and, moreover, these charges
cover only the main system of 1.821 miles of road, while
the. earnings on which the calculation is based cover the
'branches as well, and the interest on this.branch system is
omitted.
Besides, it strikes one as being rather singular to'
pick out one or two good months, and by the simple
process of multiplication determine the result for the year.
Evidently this recital of facts was intended to be as favor¬
able as ingenuity could make it.
Another statement we
have seen was as markedly inclined towards the opposite
side, for the author, among other errors, committed that of
making tin* government requirement 25 per cent of all

River. It would also have appeared that while the average
capital stock of all the banks reporting to the Comptroller
in November, 1882, was $208,750, the average capital of
these new banks was barely more than one half as great—
$109,350. These facts emphasize two changes which are

Arkansas Bonds.—The German Bank of Little Rock, which
for some time past has been the holder of twenty State bonds
of $1,000 each, applied to Governor Berry asking permission
to take the benefit of the funding act, approved in 1869.
The
bonds bear 5 per cent interest, payable semi-annually.
No
interest has been paid since 1841.
Governor Berry declined to
issue new bonds, and wrote the bank officials as follows;
“Without deciding the question, I will state that it has been

quite generally charged that the evidence taken by a legisla¬
strongly tended to prove that the
passage of the act of the General Assembly of 1869, referred
to in your letter, was procured by fraud and bribery.
Cer¬
tainly, some of its provisions are in direct contravention of
the plainest principle of justice.
For these reasons, and for,
the further reason that but a short time will elapse before the
meeting of the General Assembly, when the settlement of the
legitimate debt of the State will doubtless be fully considered,
I decline to fund the bonds presented or to issue any new
bonds under the funding act of 1869.*’

Troy k Boston—Boston Hoosac Tunnel & Western—
Troy (N. Y.) dispatch says that rumors have been afloat for
some time that the Troy A Boston Railroad would lie purchased
by the-Boston Hoosac Tunnel & Western Railroad: also that
the former would purchase the latter, and again that both would
be consolidated. President Robinson of the former company and
President Kountze of the latter,, took a trip in a special car
over the Troy A Boston road.
Subsequently. President Robin¬
son said: “ On the
trip no mention was made of a sale. It istrue, however, that the Boston Hoosac Tunnel A Western
Company some time ago made overtures for the purchase of
the Troy & Boston road, and a figure was named, but nothing

Atlantic A Pacific.—The latest
report concerning the nego¬
tiations of this
company for a through line to San Francisco
states that it has just
completed the purchase of 212 miles of
the Southern Pacific
Railroad, extending from the present
western terminus of the Atlantic & Pacific
Road, at Colorado
River, near The Needles, to a junction with the Southern
Pacific, 382 miles from the city of San Francisco. Connection
is also made at this
point for Los Angeles and all Southern
California points. A traffic
arrangement will be perfected
extending from St. Louis, over the St. Louis A San Francisco
Railway, f rom Atchison and Kansas City, over the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, by way of the Atlantic A Pacific
route, to San Francisco and all points in California.
The agreement just entered into
permits the Atlantic A
Pacific Company to run its cars to San
Francisco and other
places over the existing lines of the Southern Pacific and Cen¬
tral Pacific roads.
The Atlantic & Pacific
Company may run
trains direct to San Francisco at
any time after giving notice.
Until this is done a fair and
equitable division of rates upon
the traffic passing over the line will
apply to all business of the
Atlantic-& Pacific.
The price paid by the Atlantic & Pacific
for the 242 miles
of Southern Pacific is
stated at about $7,000,000.

respectively
limited to one half each of
such portion of this sum as
may not be earned by the section

Two-thirds of the grading of the

Elmira, is also progressing
finely, and
tracklaying commenced.
This extension will afford the

Burlington a more direct line from Chicago

Another new branch from

this branch may be extended still
further north this season.
On the new branch from

Postvilie. Iowa, to Decorah, traekaying is also progressing, and the work will soon be com¬
pleted. Altogether the Burlington Cedar

Massachusetts Central.—The committee of bondholders
report that a careful examination of the railroad has been

made, and, with few exceptions, all the work already done is
in excellent condition; and it is estimated that
only $1,500,000
will be required to
complete and equip the road to Northamp¬
ton, and to pay the interest on the bonds until the road shall
be capable of taking care of the same from its
earnings, being
about $15,000 per mile.
It is proposed to issue bonds of $1,000
each for this amount, secured
by a first mortgage, and bearing
interest at G per cent, and payable in 20
years, the company
reserving the right to redeem the same at any time at 5 per
cent premium.
The agreement under which the old bonds
were exchanged for
preferred stock provides that the holders
of the latter shall have the
right to subscribe for the new
bonds, and this right will now be offered to them.

It is reported on the Street to-day

EPITOME."

Friday Night, Aug. 22, 1S84.
Progress in the opening of autumn trade has been made
this week, but the severely hot weather has interfered to
some extent.
The change from the cold and wet of the pre¬
vious fortnight has been most fay irable to the crops, except
in limited districts in the Ohio Valley, whence complaints of
drought are received. The financial situation is quite easy,
and the position of mercantile affairs seems slowly to improve;
but the temper of business circles is very cautious, merchants
taking no steps that have not been well considered. 31 tnuf.ictures continue depressed, and farm products are very low;
and these great interests, themselves depressed, have a dis¬
piriting influence upon each other.
The speculation in lard futures was quite active early in the
week, and prices advanced rapidly on account of drought in
the Ohio Valley, which threaten- d serious injury to the grow¬
ing corn crop: but yesterday there was a sharp re-action
towards lower figures, and to-day the clo-.e was dull; 7\84e.
for September, 7,S9c. for October, 7‘75c. for November and
7'71c. for December.
Spot lard was scarce and also dearer,
selling at 8c. for prime City and SToc. for prime Western, but
the ciose is at 7*85c. for prime City, and 8@8'05c. for prime

Liverpool and Manchester and the shutting-down of our j
own mills do not tend to encoui age speculation for the rise. •
The market was weak on Saturday, dull on Monday, and on ;
Tuesday a considerable decline took place. On Wednesday i
there was in early dealings a sharp decline, August yielding j
15 points, the lowest figure being 27 points below the close on j
Friday last; but in the last hour there was a brisk and very
general recovery on the demand to cover contracts, and yes¬
terday prices further recovered, in sympathy with a stronger
Liverpool report, with October showing exceptionally large ,
dealings: but the close was less buoyant. To-day Liverpool
was dull and weak, and there was a slight decline, with a very
dull speculation.
As compared with last Friday, the close
was at a decline of 110 10 points.
Cotton on the spot was dull
until Wednesday, when a decline of f8c. caused a brisk busi¬
ness for home consumption, which was continued yesterday"
Special grades are now very difficult to procure, and buyers
generally find that they must put up with .“Hobson’s choice.'5
To-day the market was quiet and unchanged, middling uplands
closing at 10:qc.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 411,-100
bales.
For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
9,242 bales, including 2,050 for export, 7,192 for consumption,

Plantations.—The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicatingtheactnal movement each
week from the plantations.
Receipts at the outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made
up more largely one year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks.
AVe 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.

that
there is a large short interest in Chicago lor account of the
Continent, hut there has been no very I srgo demand to cover
contracts of late.
As regards the pr.»sp dive receipts' of
spring wheat, it may be stated that there h is of Cite keen a
lager demand in Chicago for money from St. Paul and other
points in the Northwest, a fact which is regarded as an in¬
dication that there will shortly be an increased niovenn ni of
wheat in that section. To-day the market was rnodt rately active
at a decline of }4 to lc.
The. foreign advices are still unfavor¬
able.
Australian wheat is being offered in the Eugli.-h mar¬
kets at low ligurts. No. 2 red closed firm, however, at iKPdc.
allcat, 89jy\ for Sept;, 911 Vr. fm* October,
g'b for November
and 95c. for December.
This shows a recovery,, and only
tgC. decline for the week.
In lian corn has been rather more active for sp dilation, the
shoits here, like those at the West, showing more di-p isition
to cover their contracts, owing to the c unparative scaivity of
contract grade.
It is claimed that the short interest, particu¬
larly at Chicago, is out of all proportion to the supply, actually
available, an I.at the West especially, the b airs have unqm-sshown

The prospects for the crop, however, are favorable, and yes¬

business was done in this connection; but the demand at first

Ladies’ cloths,
sackings, tricots, Jersey cloths, stockinettes and cloakings
were in steady but limited request, and a fair business was
done in staple and fancy worsted dress goods.
Shawls were
