At Ne<v York
« alight inoreeae in tha Tolam? of specolatire tr»naaetions led
to a unall gain in clearing*, and at Boaton the ezoeas over
Aug. U ia principallj due to the aame canae. Altogether sixteen cities recMNtl some incraaae orar laat week, among which
Minneapolia, Omalia, Milwaukee and Woroeater are most Saarnacuoo
T«M4^i..
prominent, while Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Loaia and Kanea^
rerieir the

City lead in proportion of loas exhibited. The result in the
for all the cl<>aring hotuea is a falling oiT from the
total for Aug.
of a little in excess of three million dollars.
There seems to ba an improrement taking place in general
boaineas, in dry good* branches in particuliir, and the oat look
for the fall appears quite promising.
decided increaae in the Tolame of speculation at New
York during the week of 1885, with which the present retama compare, teaalted in a pretty considerable addition to
the exchanges at this city. Notwithstanding this fact the cur •
rent figure* make a very favorable contrast with those for last
year, the gain in the aggregate reaching 13-9 par cent. All of
the cities except Hartford. Detroit, Indianapolis and Peoria
in the incraaae, Minneapolia leading with 670 per cent,
Cotnaba* M-«, Omaha SO ^, followed by Lowell, St. Joaeph,
Memphis, Worcester, Springfield and Sin Francisco. Compared with 18S1 there is now an excess of about 21 per cent.
Pursuing our usual method of deducting double the market
value of tbe share sales at the New York Stock Exchange,
(which were #9 1, 018.000 and $134,700,000 respectively in the
two year*/ from the total clearings at New York, we arrive at
tke exchangca aaotUiabla to other baiioesa, which are $131,-

decline in the toul reaching 193,494,840
an even greater lou during the corresponding tlve days a year

was last week. At New York the considerable falling o£t

understood to have been made in the open market. The
genuineness of the fall in the exchange on your side is called
in question, seeing that though our imports from America
last month were about £700,000 heavier than in July last year,
the exports thither were also about £218,000 heavier. It is
believed, however, that large parcels of Stock Exchange securities have al so been sent here. But whatever may have been the
cause the money market has become distinctly strorger. Balances are less freely offered, and a permanent enhancement of
the value of money is clearly anticipated. Whereas a short time
per cent, the charge
ago day-to-day loans could be had at }4 to
is now 1 to \% per cent, and the discount rate for three
months' bills is firm at 1% P^r cent. In the weekly Bank of
England return no particular change has taken place. The
reserve has increased £264,500, and the'proportion to liabilities
has risen to 43 01 per cent from 40-68 per cent.

already intimated above, we have no reason to complain
o( the Board of Trade returns jn«t issued for July as far as
concerns America. We have taken a larger quantity of cot-

ton than in the corresponding month of lost year, a fact
explained by the greater activity in cotton-manufacturing
dJatricta, but our Indebtedness for food is not up to last year's
total. In the aggregate the value of our imports from America
during July was about £700.000 more than in July, 1885.
In the exports the increase reaches £318,000.
An ex.
amination of the tables further below will show we are
doing more with America in iron and steel, wool and woolen
manufactures, and in linen goods, than was the case last year
and it is a satisfaction to know that inquiries for iron and
steel, and other articles, on American aoooant in this country
are increasing, thus promising a yet more extended businesi.
The totals of the imports anl exports to and from all countries have been as follows:

A very quiet business has been passing in wheat. Blillers axe
just now holding their hands and doing as little as passible,
awaiting the result of the harvest. In spite, hoivever, of the
somewhat nominal character of the markets and the limited
extent of dnalings, there is still a firm tone apparent. Sellers
continue to have the advantage, certainly not a very
decisive one, but sufficiently so to turn values against
the buyer, even
in
the small amount of
business
now doing. A steady trade under such circumstan'^es
speaks we)l for the future of the market, and gives some
support Co the belief that permanent iniprovtment in
values will set in so soon as tne harvest has been secured.

yield 1 per cent or more. Having tlie first cable from Wall
Street of an afternoon is better than hiving a "moral certainty" for the Derby. The cecond cable is worth a good deal
lesf, as the jobbers are quick enough to see how the wind
blows from the west. If the "arbitrageurs" are buyinsf, they
put up prices, and if ehey are telling thev put them down.
It is only the early bird that catches the arbitrage worm, and
the late birds are more likely to be caught thennelves.

who are not familiar with its ways
a good many scenes which puzzle them. If

Visitors to the city

must observe

they chance to be loitering about Bartholomew Lane or Throgmorton Street between three and f>,uro'clock in thn afternoon,
they may see telegraph boys racing along at a breakneck pace.
They dash across streets, shoot around corners like greased
lightning— often into the unexpected stomachs of elderly and
unstable citizens dodge past hansoms, and rusli upstairs into
demure-looking offices in the most unceremonious fashion. As
soon as they reach the door they shout "cable !"
The afternon cable race is one of the recent developments
of Stock Exchange enterprise. It is carried on iu the interest
of the " arbitrageurs," who buy and sell on the small margins

Chicago St. Pan! Minneapolis & Omalia. The Duluth
branch of the Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha has

of difference there may happen to be between the London and
New York markets. Art)itrage is alto practised between
Londt n and the chief Continental Bourses, but on a smaller
fcale and with less fcit-ntific methods. Oa the Continent it is
done largely between one Bourse and another; in fact, it iB
of foreign origin, and foreigners take the lead in it even here.
The market which offers the finest scope for it is American
railways, the daily fluctuations in these stocks being active,
and the deviations from parity between the New York and the
London prices being often considerable.
The New York Stock Exchansre opens at ten o'clock, which
in London means about three o'clock in the afternoon. From
a quarter past three o'clock onward the cables come pouring
in.
They have to be sent out from the cable offices to the
offices of the arbitrage houses.
There they have to be turned
into sterling prices, and these compared with the London
prices at the moment. Like a flash of lightning the "arbitrageur" has to decide what he will buy and what he will sell.
He ru>hes to the House and has his business done for him by
brokers as smart and as keen as himself,' Then he cibles back
to New York to "cover" his transactions, that is, to buy

Denver & Rio Grande Western.—The President of

this

company, Mr. Wm. J. Palmer, has issued the following circular under date of August 20:
To the liondholders:—
On July 29 orders were made in the suit between this company and the Denver & Rio Grande Railway Company for the
discharge of the receiver and the turning over of the railway
and property to the Western Company. These orders have
ijeen carried into effect. They were consequent upon the settlement of all controversies between the companies, and also
upon the fact that a majority of the bondholders in amount
had deposited the matured coupons and those maturing to
and including March 1, 1889, with the funding trustees, and
received funding certificates tiierefor.
This perfects the funding plan, which is now, by the terms
of the mortgage, obligatory on all bondholders. The bonds
thus funded, with the certificates representing the deposited
coupons, have been listed by the New York Stock Exchange,
and are designated as "Assented B»nds."
On Sept. 1, $17 81 per bond will l>e paid, making, with the
$12 already paid, the sum of $39 81 per bond to assenting
bondholders.
Thus this property has been reorganized under the funding
plan without expense of committees or of foreclosure proceedings, and avoiding the dangers and hazards involved in
litigation between bondholders and their company.
For the year ending July 1, 1886
The gross earnings were

Weather Reports by Teleqrafh. — The heavy storm on
Friday last in Texas did considerable damage to property at
Galveston, while the town of Indianola was practiially swept
away and Cuero nearly ruined. The damage at Galveston is
estimated at about $150,000. Crops were also injured at some
points, but a few of our correspondents state that although
fences and houses were blown down by tlie high wind, the rain
was of benefit to cotton. In other sections of the cotton belt
the weather has been fairly favorable. Picking is now making

impaired confiaeece in a further improvement, and caused
barely steady.

dealers to limit their purchases to their actual requirements,

the higher figures, causing a rapid increase in the visible
supply, while the outturn of the new crop proved more and
more satisfactory, a decline set in which yesterday and to-day
made rapid progress, and the close is about three cents per
bushel below the beat figures of the week, under the more
peaceful advices from Europe, which are received by cable
to-day. At the lower prices there was more doing for export.

The wheat market opened the week quite buoyantly. The
adverse reports from the crop on the Continent, the free shipments that had been made, and finally the warlike advices
from Roumelia, gave great confidence to the bull party but

Indian corn has been without active influence of its own,
but has fluctuated to some extent from sympathy with
wheat. The higher prices checked exports, but at the reduced
values of the past day or two shipments are more liberal
and the home trade improves; but after a em^irt decline
to-day the tendency is still downward, but at the reduction
the export business was more active, mainly at 51c. for No. 2

Oats show a very marked decline, especially for wliite^
which have been held firmly, in anticipation of a scircity; but
the freer tupplies, and sympathy with the other features of
the grain market, exerted to-day a very depressing influence.
Rye has arrived sparingly, and is not salable except in
small parcels.

July 2( (or each of the last three rears:
caused a large movement in the most staple cotton fabrics
from tbe hands of both agents and jobbers. The domestio
commission houses were the recipients of a good many dupli>
cate orders for fall and winter goods, but there were compar*
atively few wholesale buyers in the market, and personal
selections were confined within narrow limits. Accounts from
nearly all distributing points in the West and Southwest are
quite encouraging, more than an average business for the
time of year being reported by jobbers in those sections.
Southern jobbers are also doing a fairly good trade, and
merchants in the near-by States are seemingly well satisfied
with the situation. The event of the week was a peremptory
auction sale of about 5,000 pieces 5-4 and 6^4 all-wool dress
goods, the msDufscture of Messrs. James Roy & Co. Ths
•ale attracted a large company of buyers, and all the goods
were sold in one hour, but Ht prices which favored the buyers.
