There has been no commercial markets change this week in the or in crop tone of our prospects, and yet extreme sensitiveness has developed in Wall Street, disturbing speculative plans by depressing values. Would it not be well to use this check as a reminder that large railroad earnings and even easy money, large do not unlimited advance in the prices of securities. The truth is, the crops, mean an present condition in Wall Street, well capitalists at the moment. For although we have as a general rule the promise of good crops this year and of a good, healthy, active business, there is no speculative confidence among investing classes. This may perhaps be the result in good part of the very large shortage in our old crops which is just now showing itself in a very marked manner, not only in gross reflects the temper of What does this show ? Does it not show in the first place that we have a large back debt to pay arising out of the adverse balance our trade has exhibited for months? Then in addition to this must it forcibly that although this great not also remind us very of wheat is running, out faster than any crop ever did before, yet we are now send¬ ing and shall for months send so little corn and provisions that the wheat movement cannot have the effect anticipated on the exchange market. The Buieauof Statistics has this week issued advance statements of our exports of breadstuffs and provisions for July. The former shows that al¬ though our wheat and flour shipments during that month were $2,162,000 more than in the same month last year, the total of breadstuffs figures up $3,682,000 kss, and the total of provisions $2,792,000 less than the total values in July, 1881. Soon we shall begin to send cotton, and our trade will for a time at least crop assume a more favorable as¬ pect, but we cannot anticipate any improvement in the feature of it we have been referring to, until November or December, when the new crop of corn will begin to arrive in sufficient amounts for shipment. foregoing facts, and of the advance in the Bank of England rate last week and the policy which shipments from the West, but also in our foreign that advance indicates, the expected movement of gold trade figures.

For the week ended August 12 (the latest for which the tonnage both through and from Chicago has been reported) the total east-bound shipments were 22,921 tons, against 56/291 tons in 1881, be in 1880. The causes of this decline are in the main well under¬ stood, but they are not always kept in mind in interpreting The consideration of paramount importance is the oft-mentioned but still potent crop deficiency of last year. While everybody i3 now cognizant of the extent of this shortage in the yield of our agricultural products in 1881, the almost undivided • attention given to the present year’s crop3, now being raised and harvested, and the propitious outlook for them, lead many to suppose that the diminished outturn of 18S1 is a past influence, no longer having a bearing upon present traffic returns. the CHICAGO HAH. 8HIPMBNT8 BA8TWARD somewhat larger, but and 38,646 tons figures. This belief has been further encouraged by the excep¬ tionally favorable yield of winter wheat this year, and early and large movement to market. To a certain extent, no doubt, this latter has tended to offset tho loss from the diminished movement of other cereals; but the force of the influence of last year’s crop shortage has not by any means spent itself. On the contrary, its effects are more keenly and more severely felt at the preseut moment than at any previous time during the progress of the crop its year. This is so for obvious reasons. At the beginning the full extent of the devastation done by the drought was not known even to the farmers, and, besides, the movement to market is always large and free just after tho crops have been harvested, for many pro¬ ducers send their supplies forward as soon as secured, whatever the yield and the ruling price. But as the year advanced the smaller and constantly diminishing receipts at the ports, in the face of very high prices, plainly told the story of an extraordinary reduction. Now with the granaries completely bare, and new sup¬ plies (barring the sections where winter wheat is largely raised) not yet coming in, the grain movement has been reduced to infinitesimal proportions. Chicago, to which the statistics above relate, is not a of the crop year winter*wheat market.

During January and part of February the low rates that prevailed just before the close of the railroad war stimulated shipments to an unusual degree, and for a time the movement was larger even than in 1881. But this could not last any length of time, and soon the shipments fell off very decidedly and have continued very small ever since. Indeed, the Rail¬ road Gazette, which has been keeping a record of the move¬ ment from Chicago for some time, states that the total for the last week in July was the smallest noted since reports of ihe shipments have been made—about four years. Furthermore, as compared with 1 S31, the decrease this year is especially heavy, because, during the progress of the railroad war which began in June last year, rates touched such low figures as to enable the railroads to compete with the canals and take avvay a good part of their traffic. Much of this traffic is this year again seeking tho canal route, and the railroads of course lose in a corresponding degree. It is satisfactory to note, however, that though the total ship¬ ments from the first of tho year to date are 500,000 tons less than in 1881, they are but 180,000 tons smaller than in 1880, which was a prosperous year for the railroads. But though tho shipments at present are very small, while last season they were very heavy, there is one point the railroads now have in their favor namely, paying rates. Last year the nominal rate on grain was 15 cents per 100 lbs. from Chicago to New York, but the actual rate was probably nearer 10 than 15; this year the tariff rate is 25 cents, and crops, the stated two shared in the movement of this kind of wheat to a greater extent than ever before, because of the it is well maintained. Thus there is realized twice as great demand for wheat at the moment; but it is too much this year as last, and to produce a given amount of far north to command a very large proportion of the gross revenue'would require only half as much traffic. winter grades of wheat. St. Louis is better situated in This shows that the earning3 this year cannot be gauged this respect, and is at present feeling the influence of the by the volume of traffic alone. Further, it is to be re¬ free movement of that cereal very perceptibly.

On the part of nations, as pose. What she has done must have been done by any other Power in the circumstances. The temporary suspen¬ of individuals there is such a thing as jealousy ; and it is the characteristic of this passion that while it aims at con¬ sion of the business of the Canal—a suspension which tell* It would have been cealment, it rarely fails to find expression in crooked and indirect ways. It now begins to be tolerably certain that as England assumed all the responsibility for the restora¬ tion of order in Egypt, she will also bear away all the glory. A little jealousy on the part of the other nations, in such circumstances, is perhaps natural enough. Good taste, however, demanded its concealment ; and on the whole it has to be admitted that with one qualified excep¬ tion the feeling referred to has not found any open expression. To be sure, there have been grumblings of discontent from the very commencement, from Russia, from Italy, from Spain. Latterly, however, they have been heard most loudly in France. Two French papers, the Siecle and La France, describe the seizure of the Canal as the act of a thief ; the Telegraphe urges the Canal Company to sue England for damages ; and one of the recognized organs of Gambetta takes the trouble to inform the French public that if the policy of Gambetta had been followed the country would have been spared the humiliation of seeing the Canal made a branch of St. George’s Channel. But the most singular manifestation of this feeling of discontent is that made by La France and echoed by some of our own journals, to the effect that England’s action with regard to the Canal may one day be us ad against her by the United States in support of their claims to the exclusive control of the Panama Canal. In this change there is first of all a vicious begging of the question. It is taken for granted that England has violently and of her own accord seized the Canal, and that she is holding it and means to hold it for her own use. Than this noth¬ more injuriously against herself than against any other Power—is one of the unavoidable necessities of war, a* explain. As Sir Garnet Wolseley Lesseps, the presumption is that in a few day* she has been careful to stated to It is thus made the Canal will be restored to commerce. and that there has not been from the commencement, the slightest ground for the charge that England is aiming at obtaining exclusive con¬ apparent that there is not now, trol of the Canal. complaint is all the more unreasonable that it It is notorious that the scheme of joint intervention—a scheme which culminated in the delivery of the ultimatum to the Khedive’s rebellious ministry—had Gambetta for its author. It is morally certain that if Gambetta had remained in power France would have acted with England in maintaining the Khedive ; and we may rest assured that France would hardly have been contented with an inferior share of the responsibility for the naval and military operations. But France made an inglorious retreat from her obligations ; and England was left alone to face all the difficulties of a situation which her former ally had helped to create. A French squadron had actually been sent to Alexandria. But the sentiment which in various ways found expression in the French Chambers, and the refusal of the Chamber* to vote the paltry sum requisite for a joint occupation of the Canal, had the effect of inducing M. de Freycinet to refrain from taking part in the bombardment of Alex¬ andria and finally to back out of the whole affair. The comes from France. e tho world that France had made up her mind that neither injury to her interests nor insults to her dignity, nor respect for her own pledges, could induce her to fight. In view of this course of conduct the fussy and impertinent interference of Lesseps, and the screamings of the French journalists, seem exceedingly ridiculous. If the Frenck people now see the mistake which was made in their name, they ought to vent their spleen on the men wh* The refusal to vote a war credit seemed to say to be farther from the real fact. The truth is the very opposite. Mr. Gladstone has again and again stated the case, and with a clearness and emphasis which should have been sufficient to make mistake or misapprehension impossible.

At the conclusion of the meeting Mr. Fink said that he desired to con¬ tradict the statements relative to the probability of a break in the entire pooling arrangement on account of an alleged feel¬ ing of antagonism on the part of several of the roads co the percentages in the pool allotted to them by the Commissioner. Mr. Fink said that there was nothing to communicate in regard to the day’s session except, that, there had been a discussion in regard to differential rates and progress had been made. The rates to Chicago had been adopted, but might be changed. At the conclusion of the meeting of the committee he said that he would announce the result reached and the rates fixed upon. Any announcement of rates before the final adjournment would be misleading to the public, inasmuch as they might be changed at the next day’s meeting. Mr. Fink said that the qnes ion of the percentages of the different roads composing the Western passenger pool had not been taken up. A passenger agent and member of the committee informed ft World reporter that there was little likelihood of the pool per¬ centages being fixed at, this meeting of the committee, as so maeh time had been taken up in the discussion of the differ¬ ential rates that by the time those were ail determined the agents would desire to leave for their different roads, and the probability was that the percentages would be postponed for settlement at another meeting of the Executive Committee. —The N.

If there was only complete confidence that Tennessee finances would never again be unsettled, the new bonds might sell much higher. Rail¬ road bonds show a tendency towards lower prices, in sympathy with stocks, and also because the great majority of investors are absent from the market, and will give no orders for buy¬ ing bonds till their return next month. Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market has shown less strength this week, in the absence of many brokers and operators from the city, and to-day, with a raid on Denver & Rio Grande, the general list closed rather weak, and prices in many cases were near the lowest point. It is the same now that it has often been before, when the whole mar¬ ket was influenced by a few leading stocks, and the decline in those was used to depress all the ot hers. Three weeks ago there was much talk of extra dividends or privileges, or benefits of some sort, to be realized soon on Northern Pacific, Chicago & Northwestern, Delaware Lackawanna & Western, Rochester & Pittsburg, Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha, St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba, and possibly on other-stocks, and the market was forced up on the prospect of these extraordinary good things yet to come. But in no case has anything hap¬ pened, and some of the stocks have declined considerably, so much so that the reports of extra dividends, &c., now appear as if they had been given out to make a market for unloading. But whether or not the insiders having knowledge of the real prospects have unloaded, the effect of so much expectation and so little realization has been rather demoralizing, and a slight decline has been natural under the circumstances.

Bedford Springvillc Owensburg& Bloomfield.—A dispatch from Indianapolis reports the sale, Aug. 22, of the Bedford Springville Owensburg & Bloomfield Railroad, running from Bedford to Switz City. The purchaser was Mr. Aquilla Jones, of the Indianapolis Rolling Mill Company, and the price paid was $1,200,000, viz , $350,000 for first mortgage bonds and $850,000 for stock. Boston & Albany.—A press dispatch from Boston, Aug. 22, reports: “At the last session of the Legislature the privilege was given to the Boston & Albany Railroad Company of ex•hanging its five per cent bonds, with twenty years to ran, for the Commonwealth’s holding in the capital stock of the rail¬ road of 24,115 shares, the price to be paid for the stock to be $160 per share. At a special meeting of the stockholders of the railroad this privilege was accepted, but not, however, without considerable opposition. Within a few days the ex¬ change of the State’s stock for the Boston & Albany’s bonds has been completed, the railroad company handing over to the treasury of the Commonwealth $3,858,000 in face value of its $ per cent twenty-year bonds, and receiving in exchange 24,115 shares of the company’s capital stock. The railroad company also paid the -State $400 in money, to equalize the exchange. The interest on the bonds is payable on October 1 and April 1. By this exchange the interest which the State has always held In the directory of the railroad ceases and the five State directors lose their positions. This leaves the board with only eight directors, and as it is not proposed to fill the vacancies until the annual meeting in February, the present board will necessarily have to act unanimously upon any questions sub¬ mitted to them, since the by-laws of the company provide that tight directors shall constitute a quorum.

The board ordered the immediate issue of $500,000 of the $1,000,000 of preferred stock authorized lasr. week, and appointed President Hugh J. Jewett a committee of one to negotiate the sale of the same, arid to report to the directory for ratification by a vote of a majority of that body. The board further ordered the manager of the construction department to immediately complete a double track to Hamil¬ ton, and that contracts for the same be concluded at once; ah# that 300 box-cars, 150 gondolas and fifty fiat cars be built at once. Hugh J. Jewett, on behalf of the Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton Railroad served notice on M.

By this pool the Indiana branch received twenty-three per cent of the proceeds. It does not fol¬ low that another pool will not be formed.

Missouri Stale Finances.—The following is a statement of the assessed property in this State for the years 1881 and 1882: Reading’s deferred income bond issue, received a telegram yes¬ terday afternoon from the New York house mentioned, s-ating in positive language that Mr. Gowen had placed the $13,500,000 of the 5 per cent loan, and concluded with the words, * This is reliable.’ It w-as purchasing for the long accouht by customer* of the Third Street house referred to, on the strength of this dispatch, that advanced the stock to 30%. The report was* also telegraphed to a number of houses by the firm of F. M. Lockwood & Co and appeared to gain altogether a little more credence than has recently been accorded to the numerous bull rumors to the same effect, none of which lived over night The report of the company’s earnings for July had a good effect, and the increase in profits over those of last year tended to strengthen the expectation that the receivership will be dis¬ solved in any event before many more months. There is every indication that a gain of $1,000,000 in net earnings will be made up by the profits of the four months still to be heard from, which are usually the best months of the fiscal year for the anthracite coal trade, and it is quite probable that the entire year will improve even more than $1,000,000 in net earnings. Very few operators are to be found who will admit that the company is in a very bad way, even if Mr. Gowen’s reported success is imaginary, for the rate at which the floating debt has been reduced, item by item, with the $7,009,000 or $s,000,000 already received from the deferred bond subscriptions, has so considerably diminished the company’s interest account that much needed repairs to roads and equipment have been ren¬ dered possible, and business facilities will no longer be per¬ 1S82. $601,722,882 luc..

Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table ia prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual 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. We reach therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement like the following. In reply to frequent inquiries we will add 240 THE CHRONICLE. that these Southern figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or 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 out-ports.

Our last report was issued on the 10th ult. At that time the market was very firm with a hardening tendency, caused by a Course of the Manchester Market, July 10 to August 20. For about a week after the publication of our last report the market was very quiet; only a trifling business was done, and in some instances prices gave way a little. Fears as to the security of the Canal route to the East caused operators to hold aloof. Later on these fears subsided, and a little more business resulted. Last Friday week the market was quite un¬ settled by the reported submission of Arabi, and for several days Eastern bayers merely looked on ; other buyers ga7e out only small orders. This week the tone is quiet but firm. The sales during the month have fallen short of the rate of pro¬ duction, and the position of producers, especially manufac¬ sharp upward movement at New York, and by the expectation turers, is worse than ever.

The new flour now selling here is being disposed of at unprofitable figures—so the millers state^ and some mills have stopped running for the time being. To¬ day the market was quiet but generally steady. Wheat has fluctuated frequently within a narrow range, but the prices latterly current are higher than those of a week ago. The export demand has been only fair, and though the trans¬ actions in options have latterly shown some increase, the busi¬ ness in the early part of the week was quite moderate. The fluctuations in this market are regulated wholly by the varia¬ tions in prices at Chicago. That market, in turn, is governed by the daily receipts there and the reports concerning the crop. The receipts at Chicago in the middle of the week were suffi¬ ciently large to encourage the belief that much larger receipts were impending, but as a matter of fact the arrivals have latterly been small enough to frighten shorts both here and at the West into covering, the alarm here being perhaps quite as noticeable as at Chicago, owing to the report that August had have been firm, owing to The foreign markets have had a some¬ of the time, but latterly have been 9 The steadier.

Cloak ings continued to receive a fair share of attention, and repellants met with moderate sales. Kentucky jeans were in limited request, and satinets were in irregular demand. Flannels ruled quiet in demand, and blankets were inactive; but prices are firmly maintained. Soft dress fabrics continued fairly active, and there was a steady call for worsted dress goods, allwool cashmeres, &c. Shawls and skirts were in steady request, and a fair business was done in carpets, hosiery and knit under¬ wear; but fancy knit woolene were a trifle slow. Foreign Dry Goods.—There was a further improvement in the general demand for imported goods, and in some fabrics— notably dress goods and silks—there was a very fair movement the past week. Millinery goods were also in good request, and fair sales of linen t*oods, laces and embroideries were reported. Gloves were more active, but hosiery was somewhat quiet. Cloakings and raen’s-wear woolens were in moderate request. Imports continue heavy as compared with last year, but the demand for fine goods is so steadily increasing that the supply is not likely to prove redundant, and in the meantime prices are firmly maintained.
