the condition of European countries.
We have often pre¬
sented the figures, but bring them down to the present
date as they show that the situation in that particular is
constantly becoming less satisfactory.

reached from nine to eleven millions, and at present they are
to
still from
eight and a half to nine millions per week; whereas
imports which had swollen to nearly fourteen millions
the first week in March have now dropped to about nine
millions.
Our purpose in reciting these facts and the
influences producing them, has been to show that with
trade in a healthy state (that is when - prices are not
unduly inflated) we have so many productions to export,
that the export movement must be large, while the demand
for imports under the same circumstances is much below
the high figures reached in the early months of the year.
"We do not think in either particular the period prior to
the panic of 1873 can be a guide.
The very economies we
were forced to practice after that event taught
us lessons
of thrift in production which are now bearing their fruit.
We shall never hereafter return to old figures of exports;
and if w^e are prudent it will be long before the volume of
imports will again reach the proportions of the early
months of this year.
To bring before the reader in this
connection the evidence of the complete and (under
healthy conditions) permanent change which has taken
place in our foreign trade, we repeat the five-year totals

The
July trade statement for the whole country, judg¬
ing from the foregoing weekly figures for New York, is
likely to show a more favorable balance than last month
(June), when the excess of exports was about twelve million
dollars. Furthermore, as our stocks of most foreign goods
are still excessive, there seems little reason, in the ordi¬
nary course of events,
for expecting any increase in
imports during the balance of the year. There can be no
repetition of the general merchandise speculation prevail¬
ing a year ago. And yet all business is active, and con.
sumption is large, so that before the coming in of the new
year there ought to be a full, healthy movement in foreign
goods in progress. It is, however, fair to conclude, from
all we have stated, that the balance of trade, wdien unin¬
fluenced by special causes, must continue to rule in favor
of this

The Bank of
England has increased its reserve of gold
but the above shows that the increase has
not only all been drawn from the interior, but a further
amount of about eighteen million dollars has also come
from interior reserves instead of those reserves being added
to by an annual average gain, as formerly, of 22 million
dollars, which its commerce has absorbed, and therefore
appeared to need. Every reader knows, likewise, the
condition of the Bank of France on this point.

at the company’s office, however, in this
city, we find
that the parties in charge know hardly more than
any¬
one else.
One thing seems certain, though, and that
is, that enough of the $20,000,(00 is to be reserved to
redeem all the company’s own mortgage bonds that
mature before 1900.
These aggregate $9,776,000, and
are embraced in the first six lines of the table
given
further below. This still leaves over $10,000,000, of
the intended disposition of which we know
nothing defi¬
nitely. The statement in the Courier-Journal estimates
the total liabilities now at 41^ millions and the interest
on the same at $2,562,000.
These figures are obtained in
a very simple manner.
Starting with last year’s totals as
a basis, the
$9,776,000 bonds mentioned above are de¬
ducted, and the $20,000,000 new mortgage and $5,000,000

When the announcement
was
made that the Louisville &
Nashville had
acquired a controlling interest in the Nash¬
Chattanooga & St. Louis, it was reported that in
payment for the stock it had given $2,800,000 of 6 per
cent debenture bonds, and had turned over
$1,400,000
in cash.
The cash could only have been obtained
by the
sale of the company’s notes or bonds, and it is not
likely that these were negotiated at less than 6 per
cent interest.
So it is safe to say that the purchase of the
Nashville & Chattanooga entailed an outlay of $4,200,000 at 6 per cent interest.
From the interest thus to be
paid should be deducted any dividends likely to be re¬
ceived on Nashville &
Chattanooga stock. In 1878-9
that company paid 2£ per cent, and in the fiscal
year just
closed its net earnings exceeded those of 1878-9
by about
$220,000, equivalent to 3 per cent additional. It is
assumed that 5 per cent per annum will be
paid, although
the last semi-annual dividend (April,
1880,) was for only
2 per cent.
Therefore, in calculating the interest on the
$4,200,000 in the table below, only 1 per cent has been
charged against the Louisville & Nashville.

still. Anyway, it is reasonable to assume that 6 per

the
quality is good, and the result is much more satisfactory than,
had been anticipated. There has been a large quantity of fruit
sent to market, and the later crops will also be abundant.
Vegetables of all kinds in season are sent forward in large
quantities, and the accounts from the hop plantations are still
of a very favorable character. The prospects of the wheat
crop are not, however, so satisfactory as they were in the
spring, the rainfall of the last six weeks, while benefiting to a
very important extent the pastures and the crops of roots and
green food, having been productive of some injury by prevent¬
development of the grain. It is a very genera
opinion that the ears are not so well filled as they should

is anticipated, and this leads to the conelusion that the wheat crop will be the cause of some disap¬
pointment. Should the weather, however, continue as favorable
as it has been during the present week, the crop will be vastly
superior to that of last year, though it cannot be a large one
as the area of land under wheat is decidedly below the average.
Although the Bank of England return is favorable to a con¬
tinuance of easy rates for money, the discount market has
lately assumed a firmer appearance, and little disposition is
shown to discount bills under 2 per cent. The increase of
business is due to the fact that the New York exchange points to a
probable export of gold and that the supply of gold in the Bank
of France is small. Easy as the money market now is, a speedy
change is regarded as by no means improbable, as trade will
soon be absorbing more capital, while there is also more demand
for general purposes. Beyond the increased reluctance to lend
except at higher rates, there has been no important feature in
the market; but the rates may be quoted firm as follows :

FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1880-5 P. HI.
Tlie Money Market and Financial Situation.—The temper
of the markets has changed little since our last report. The
undertone is strong and apparently based on the idea that
everything in the commercial situation is favorable for a large
and "profitable autumn business.
There has seldom been a
Presidential election—certainly not one since the war—when
there was so little apprehension of an excitement which
would be unsettling to trade and prejudicial to financial opera¬
tions in general. In fact, the customary croaking about “ Pres¬
year ” seems to be reduced to a minimum.
The stock market maintains its strength with very little arti¬
ficial support, and tne railroad traffic returns, as they come in,
idential election
give color to the sanguine predictions of a higher
of prices. It is difficult, however, with the best analysis
possible, to form a very decided conclusion as to the earnings
of such consolidated roads as Union Pacific, Wabash St. Louis
& Pacific, Chic. Mil. & St. Paul, &c., for the simple reason that
their entire circumstances are changed since last year; and it
will only be at the end of the year, when a particular state¬
ment of their mileage, debt, earnings, and both sides of the
income account, for 1880 can be seen, that we will be able to
estimate the real benefit derived from the present large in¬
crease in gross earnings.
The money market remains very easy at 2@3 per cent, and
some loans on large] blocks of Government collateral are made,
as heretofore, at 1 Yz per cent.
Prime commercial paper^.is
quoted at 4@5 per cent.
The Bank of England statement, on Thursday, showed
a decrease of £391,000 in specie for the week, and the reserve
was 50 15-16 per cent against 52% per cent last week.
The dis¬
count rate remains at 2% per cent.
In the Bank of France
specie declined 1,134,000 francs.
The' last statement of the New York City Clearing House
Danks, issued July 31, showed a decrease of $750,225 in the
legal reserve, the total surplus being $15,842,375, against
$16,592,600 the previous week.
The following table shows the changes from the previous week
and a comparison with the two preceding years.

stock
market
closes pretty strong, both in New York.Land Philadelphia.
There is no party that appears to be much inclined to sell
stocks under the present outlook, and the result is a gradual
upward movement from week to week. The advance may,
perhaps, be more likely to last from the fact that it is not very
rapid, and some stocks are to-day lower than last week, al¬
though considerably above the prices of three weeks ago. The
stocks of Western grain-carrying railroads are among the
strongest now, and Northwest, St. Paul, Alton, Illinois Central,
&c., are all higher.
Among the coal stocks Reading has been
the strongest, the advance being based on various rumors of a
more speedy adjustment of the company’s difficulties than had
been anticipated. But if that speedy"adjustment means fore¬
closure, or an assessment of the stock, it is not easy to account
for the rise.
The
enormous
amount of debt
standing between
Reading stock and future dividends is the great obstacle to be
dealt
with, and it would appear that any settlement must in¬
clude the adjustment of that debt in the shape of income bonds
or preferred stock, or else the payment of it by assessments on
the present stockholders. The arbitrators for the elevated rail¬
roads met first on Thursday, and it will yet be several days
before any decision can be rendered. Pennsylvania Railroad
stock continues to rise steadily, on the increased earnings of the
whole system of roads under its control. It is supposed that
the directors cannot make the next semi-annual dividend less
than 4 per cent, and there will also be due the stockholders at
the close of 1880 about 2 per cent in the scrip bearing 4 per
cent yearly interest, which was to be issued to represent the
applied to the purchase of the stocks and bonds of
leased roads, provided there has been no change of plan as to
issuing that scrip. Erie is a little below last week’s prices, and
from the rumors put out there appeared to be a small bear

weather in the Mississippi Valley and Texas.
But on Tuesday
and Wednesday the tendency was improved, owing to the general
rains at the South and the increased reports and apprehensions of
vermin.
On Wednesday afternoon the following report came
from Washington, and caused a portion of the advance of that
day to be lost: “
Reports received here from the cotton regions
that there lias been rain
of the South state
enough to keep the
generally in a fine growing condition, but considerable
damage has been done in some localities by rust and caterpillars.
In many sections the rust is worse than the worm.
The general
condition of the crop throughout the South is good, and it is not
believed that the damage by rust and worms will materially affect
the yield, which is estimated to equal that of any year since the
war. The average condition in the different States is about equal
to that reporter! by the Department of Agriculture for the month
of July.” On Thursday there was a firmer opening, in sympathy
with the Liverpool report, but the cessation of rains in the Mis¬
sissippi Valley and the non-confirmation of vermin reports
'prompted free sales by the bulls to realize, and the result was a
decline in the later dealings.
To day there was very little
change, but rather more steadiness on a limited business. Spots
have met with but a limited demand, whether for export or
home consumption, and prices were nominally unchanged.
The
close was quiet at 11 9-10c. for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 217,200
free on board. For immediate delivery the
sales foot up this week 3,888 hales, including 1,312 for
export, 2,676 for consumption,
for speculation, and
in
transit.
Of the above,
bales were to arrive.

The above figures indicate an increase in the cotton in sight to¬
night of 294,762 bales as compared with the same date of 1879,
an increase of 242,069 bales as compared with the correspondingdate of 1878. and a decrease of 428,291 bales as compared with 1877.
In the preceding visible supply table we have heretofore only
included the interior stocks at the 7 original interior towns.
As we did not have the record of, the new interior towns for thefour years, we could not make a comparison in any other way.
That difficulty no longer exists, aDd we therefore make the fol¬
lowing comparison, which includes the stocks at the 19 townsgiven weekly in our table of interior stocks instead of only theold 7 towns.
We shall continue this double statement for a.
time but finally shall simply substitute the 19 towns for the 7
towns in the preceding table.

Friday, P. M., Aug. 6, 1880.
The flour market has continued very
irregular. Choice “clear”
brands from old wheat have become very scarce,

The wheat market has been active for immediate and future
delivery, and prices, though varying somewhat from day to
day, have not made
important change from last Friday’s
any
The snles have included large lines of No. 2
spring, and yesterday increased favor was shown to No. 1 white
for prompt delivery, with sales for August at $1 09, against
$1 08 early in the week. Supplies of winter wheat are free at
all points, and there is little disposition anywhere to pile up
stocks at advancing prices; but any material decline will be
stoutly resisted. High rates of ocean freights embarrassed
shippers early in the week, but latterly rates are easier. To¬
day the opening was stronger but the close flat, with $1 09%
quotations.
the latest bid for No. 2 red for
September.
active demand for export and
home consumption, and speculation has been brisker, causing
some advance Jn prices, though with little buoyancy of tone.
No. 2 mixed sold yesterday morning at 48%c. on the spot and
49%c. for September, but closed a fraction under these figures.
Yellow and white have been firm, No. 2 white selling at 54%@
55c.
To-day the market was weak, No. 2 mixed closing with
49%c. the best bid for September.
Rye has been quiet, and yesterday sold at some concession,
40,000 bushels selling for September at 80c. Oats have been
scarce, and dearer on the spot, and finally there was some im¬
provement in futures. Free sales of No. 2 mixed were made
yesterday at 34@34^c. for August and 33/£c. for September.
To-day spot prices were nearly nominal and futures sold only
in a small way ; No. 2 mixed 34%c. for October.
