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.

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.

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.

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.

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 been opened for business. Heretofore the company has had no terminal facilities in Duluth, and was compelled to use the St. Paul & Duluth tracks. Cleveland & Canton. The earnings and expenses for July and the first seven months of the year, were as follows : — — 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 against wh;it he has sold or to sell against what he has bought. • » « » In the first cable he opens he may see New York Central quoted at llQi;^, the parity of which at the current rate of exchange would be 113'43 in sterling. The London price at the moment may be 114i^. If he can sell at lUig, he has a fair chance of being able to cover at New York that is, buy against the sale at the equivalent of IISJ^ in sterling. Should the New York market remain as it opened till his cable arrives and his agent can execute the order, he will come out wuh a Eroflt of =8 per cent, lees commission and cost of c ibling. But e takes the risk of the New York price rising in the interval, in which case his agent has to cover at a loss or keep the transaction open per contra. New York may have gone still weaker, and the covering purchase may be made so as tj — J^lu. . . — , — Jati. 1 (0 Jnli/3^. 188.5. li<8G.

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.
