Money Market and Financial
Situation.—The markets
have been without a
disturbing
feature,
and speculative transac¬
tions are of small volume.
There is an improvement in the
London money market and a
tendency towards easier rates on
loans, although the nominal 5 per cent discount rate is
maintained
at the Bank.
T he
Monetary Conference at Paris has adjourned
without
accomplishing anything, and it is evident that tiie dele¬
gates from other countries, while
preserving a courteous tone in

acting
without consultation or
regard for other nations, in her important
silver legislation of the
past year. The delegates were quite
unwilling to admit that any international standard

Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock

without animation

The general
tendency
towards lower figures,

of prices during the past few days has been
and on a small business the market showed
this afternoon the lowest
prices of the week on several of the
leading stocks—mainly on the trunk lines and granger stocks.
The absence of many
brokers and operators from the city
undoubtedly has something to do with the drooping and
sluggish
market, as the situation for business is thus far
remarkably good
and the grain movement has
lately been of immense volume—
and on the trunk lines at advanced
prices. When business men
return to the city, after
September 1, a more active campaign is
looked for.
The Farmers’ Loan and Trust
Company gives notice
to the Erie stockholders that the
assessment upon the common
and preferred stock of said'
company must be paid on or before
the 31st day of October next.

15,695 bales. This decrease in number of bales hauled is more
apparent than leal, and is accounted for in the shipments from
Shreveport, from which point there were forwarded last year, by
rail, 9,245 bales. During the previous year, because of the low*
stage of water in Red riv r, there were shipped by rail from
Shreveport 42,072 bales of cotton, showing a deficit of 33,727
bales in the rail shipments from that station. This
forced ship¬
ment by rail was made at
very low rates, and was, most of it, a
second handling of cotton that had been hauled into
Shreveport
over your road.
The number of original bales handled
during
the year undoubtedly exceeded that of the
previous year.

The suit was triec^ before Judge D. P. Barnard, in the Supreme

Court at Poughkeepsie, and the Judge has now rendered a deci¬
sion declaring that “ the contract of preference authorised by the

amended by-laws and resolutions adopted on Feb 24, 1870, was
within the corporate powers of the Quicksilver Mining Company,
and that the adoption of the said by-laws and resolutions was a

and legitimate exercise of the

under its charter. The contract of preference is presumptively
valid, and, not having been objected to within a reasonable time

and in a proper manner by any stockholder, is
binding upon
the company and its stockholders, in favor of the plaintiff and all
holders of such preferred stock. The stockholders of the Quick¬

difference in the effect of the heavy August grain
movement is
remarkable.

Just now, it appears, the farmer gets his grain
Liverpool for nine cents a bushel less than the cost a
year ago, the difference being almost entirely in the ocean rat9.
The current rate by lake and canal from
Chicago to Buffalo is
now about
9£ cents a bushel, which the elevator charges at
Buffalo (just raised) will make 10£ cents. The
present rail rate is
equivalent to 10 8 cents, and it is not likely that business can be
had at a higher one until there is a further advance in lake and
carried to

canal rates.”

Of the live-stock pooling business on the trunk lines, the World
of August 29th said : “ There has been for some time past
a ais*’
satisfaction among the railroadmen over the system of ‘ even¬

ing’ in the live-stock traffic.

This embraces the mode of giving
the business in live stock and seeing
shares. The roads have been pay¬
ing the three * eveners/ Eastman, Allerton and Morris, $15 per
car for
attending to this business. Several of the roads complain
to each road its proportion of
that each road has its proper

that this is too much.

“Representatives of the twelve lines have held a meeting at the
Depot this week and reached a settlement of this
vexed questio \
There were preseut at this meeting J. H. Rutter
and J. B. Dutcber, of the New York Central; Mr. Vilas and Mr.
Blanchard, of the Erie, and S. P. Kingston, General Freight
Agent of the Pennsylvania Central. They have,in effect, agreed
upon the selection of a Live Stock Pool Commissioner, who is to
Grand Central

take

charge of the business for all the roads
a live-stock business.
It is

Chicago who do

east of

St. Louis and

to be the business of

this Commissioner to see that each road gets its proportion of the
business as allotted by the pool, the cost of the Commisioner to
be paid pro rata by all the roads sharing in the pool
in propor¬
tion to the amount of business done.
The papers embracing the
terms in detail of this agreement have all been drawn
up, and
were

being signed by the representatives of the different roads.

This settlement applies to the live-stock business of
twenty-two
railroads east of St. Louis and Chicago, including the Canada and
New England roads, and removes another vexed
question which
stood in the way of harmony.”
This statement, however, is since contradicted, and it is said
that the managers of the trunk lines will not abolish the
“eveners.”

Union Pacific-Pacific Mail.--Of the proposed contract between
these companies the Tribune says: “ The new contract calls for a
uniform San Francisco passenger rate, by rail or steam, at $137,
in consideration of which the Pacific Mail is to receive $10 headmoney for every through passenger carried by Union Pacific to
and from San Francisco.
This* is an increase of $5 head-money
over the Clyde contract of
1876, ard it is estimated will yield to
the Pacific Mail treasury a monthly sum of $22,030.
It is also
understood that both companies are to acl

matter of freights, regardless of each other or of

orders, but there was no spirit in the demand
for any particular class of
fabrics, and it has become evident that
jobbers intend to pause in their operations until
they have
unloaded part of their

jobbing trade has already opened briskly at such
