equal to 10 per cent on the preferred and about 8f
p.ercent on the common. This bears on the past. As to
the future, there are certain facts that should be borne in
mind.
In the first place, the leased lines in Iowa and
Nebraska having been absorbed, the charge for these will
hereafter go to swell the interest and dividend account of
the Northwest, and not count any more as rentals.
Then
the interest account must be expected to increase indepen¬
dently of this fact; for. as stated, it seems likely that in the
past year interest on a part of the debt did not count in
full, and, besides, the company is still adding to its debt,
’having only recently authorized a new issue of G millions
bonds, to be used 2 millions on account of the leased roads
and the rest as the exigencies of the occasion may demand.
The surplus of §701.258 which remained on the late
year's operations went to swell further the company's bal¬
ance of income, which now amounts to $0,187,120.
As
we have been asked why with such a large undivided bal¬
ance as this, the company should find it necessary to issue
new bonds, it may be necessary to say that this balance,
as in the case of other companies, is largely nominal,
and
is not at all cash immediately available.
It is represented
by improvements, extensions, additions to road and equip¬
ment, .&c. But this nine millions is not the full extent of
the company's accumulated-surplus.
"We have previously
called attention to the Northwest’s curious system of book¬
keeping, by which 22 or 23 millions of stocks of proprietary
roads (all held by the company) were counted as a liability
and treated as if they were actually outstanding. As a lia¬
bility, they had no existence at all, and to count them such
was merely a bookkeeping fiction that served to befog and
bewilder the investigator.
We took pains, to point this
out a year ago, and to show that gradually these proprie¬
tary lines were being consolidated with the parent com.
pany and their stock exchanged for Northwest stock,
which then remained in the Northwest treasury ready for

Net
earnings for .June are, as a rule, unsatisfactory.
About the only prominent exception for the month is the
Chicago Burlington k Quincy, whose return we discuss at
length in another column. The Atchison loses heavily, but
for a special reason, also alluded to in another column.
Denver & Rio Grande, though it still runs behind last
year, makes a better showing than in any other month this
year. New York & New England is a trifle ahead of 1883.
The Pennsylvania, tliQ Northern Central, the Philadelphia
& Reading, the West Jersey, all have decreased totals.
Southern roads, which heretofore have proved exceptions
to the generally unfavorable returns* made by other lines,
also report losses in both gross and net now.
The Erie
exhibit has tiny merit of being more prompt than usual,
but records a heavy decrease in gross and net alike.
Following are the figures of all roads that will furnish
returns for publication.

quietness. There
very prominent feature, but some disappointment
is felt as regards the dividends declared by the railway com¬
panies which embrace our manufacturing districts. Bad
trade, it is said, is the cause of this, and there is no doubt o f
the fact that the decrease in the earnings has been produced
by the want of enterprise which exists. The reports, how¬
ever, from the manufacturing districts are not altogether dis¬
couraging, and there seems to be a fair amount of business in
progress, more especially as regards the trade in wool. As
no
regard to other branches of
complaints, both on the Stock Ex¬
change, as well as in mercantile circles, that business is very
dull and unprofitable.
The position, nevertheless, must be
regarded as an improving one, and that the future can be
looked forward to with increasing confidence. Any imme¬
diate change is not expected to take place, but the results of
injudicious enterprise are being corrected, aud the general po¬
sition is regarded as more satisfactory.
The demand for money daring the past week has been upon
the most moderate scale, and the rate charged is only about
i< per cent per annum. The discount market has also been
very quiet, and the quotation for three months’ bills does not
exceed 1 to 113 per cent. The money market is, in fact, in a
condition of extreme ease, and there are no indications of
change. The Continental markets are, however, dearer than
our own, but there is no perceptible effect.
The following are the quotations for money and the interest
allowed by the discount houses to-day and same day of the
previous five weeks:

have been of incalculable benefit to the
country, inasmuch as
the later-sown crops and the
pastures have improved im¬
mensely. Unless the weather should become very unpropitious, the yield of the soil this season will exceed the average,
and this must necessarily be a source of wealth.
In very early
districts, wheat-cutting has been already commenced, but a
general movement is not expected until the first week in
August. The wheat trade during the week has been rather
firm, but there has been no appreciable change in values.

publishes reports from every parish
importance in tlie hop-growing districts of Fast Kent, MidKent, the Weald and Sussex. The reports are unfavorable
respecting a large proportion of the acreage, particularly in
Mid-Kent, the Weald and Sussex. ThO serious character of
the aphis blight is seen in the state of the vine and
foliage,
much of which has gone
completely black; and in such
grounds, of course, there can be no hops grown worth the
name. The afflicted
plantations, however, are not all bad alike
—some may not be
too far gone to produce a crop that may he
just remunerative and nothing more; whilst others must inevi¬
tably be a complete failure. With regard to tlie best grounds,
whether in Kent, Sussex, Farnham or
Worcestershire, com¬
plaints are general of the spread of mould, and in many places
the sulphurator is again in use.
In the following return is shown the extent of the sales of
home-grown wheat, barley and oats in the 187 principal mar¬
kets of England and Wales

season, together with the average prices realized, compared
with 150 markets in previous

Gold continues in good demand for India and
Spain. The exchange on
Paris during the week lias touched and is now
only a little above the
rate at which gold would leave this
country. The Bank of England has
sold £28,000.
Silver, which we quoted in our last at f>0i-'Vd , owing to lower rates
from India fell off

Mexican dollars, in the absence of any to hand
during tho week, have
remained at the nominal quotation of 50^1.
The
prospect in France is everywhere good, and a wheat
of 100 to 110 millions of hectolitres is looked forward to.
far as Russian shipments are
concerned, tlie leading
feature is the large proportion of wheat and oats sent to the
Continent. Nearly 30,000 chetwerts of wheat were sent last
week to this country, and 41,471 chetwerts to the
Continent.
About 105,000 chetwerts of oats were
exported to U. K.

New York West Shore
buffalo. —Bondholders of this
railroad company held a meeting at the oilice of Messrs.
Stewart & Boardman, No. 49 Wail Street.
There was a very
good attendance and a large amount of the bonds were repre¬
sented.
President Stewart, of the United States Trust Com¬
pany, presided.
Resolutions were adopted without dissent
requesting, the United States Trust Company, as trustee under
the first mortgage of the West Shore Railroad, to proceed with
the foreclosure as speedily as possible and to take the neces¬
sary steps to procure the sale of the property covered by the
mortgage at the earliest possible date, provided that at the sale
the property is bought in in the interest of the bondholders.
Provision was made for the appointment of a committee of
live to ascertain the condition of the property, to advise with
and assist the trustee in foreclosing, and to submit a plan for
future management and reorganization.
No member of the
committee can he either a stockholder or an officer in either
the West Shore Railroad or the North River Construction Co.
The chairman appointed the following committee: J. B.
Colgate, II. F. Spaulding, President Central Trust Co.: J. D.
Probst, George M. Pullman and H. W. Bartol of Philadelphia.
Wabash St. Louis tfc Pacific.—At the meeting of directors
this week Jay Gould resigned the presidency of the company.
He stated that his many engagements would make it impossi¬
ble for him to give the necessary time to the business of reor¬
ganization, and for this reason he asked that some one who
could give it the requisite attention should be appointed in his
place. The resignation was accepted and James F. Joy of
Detroit was chosen as his successor.
The plan of reorganiza¬
tion proposed by the sub-committee was modified by the direc¬
tors only in the amount of the assessment on the stocks.
It
was voted to make this assessment $8 instead of $6 a share.
The following official statement was made :

The outlines <>f the plan are the amicable foreclosure of the general
ami collateral trust mortgages anti the issue of new seen: ities. as follows :

invited to subscribe at the rate of not exceeding $8 a. share for tin; first
preferred stock. And this subscription, amounting to $1,0 <>,OoO, will
produce that sum in money. The money will be up died to the nay men t
of the secured debt.
The. result of the plan, successfully carried out, will
be to exchange a 'mortgage and secured debt of about $25,000,000 for a
debenture mortgage bond dependent upon in-mmeof $20,(*00.000 and a
reduction of the compulsory fixed charges to the amount of about
$1.500.099 a year; that-is to say, this amount of interest mud depend

shipments from London cannot now be made at any profit.
The time is approaching when commercial bills should be more
abundant, and while exchange is not likely to advance, the

depend very much on the
transactions in securities between the home and foreign
markets.

conspicuous for activity, the first named declining to 58!£ this
morning and closing at 60, while West Shores have advanced
t his week and close at 43.
There is
and
prices
a
pretty well distributed business in other bonds,
are
generally steady
or
firmer.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Slocks.—The stock market
has been quite irregular during the past week, and there is an
evident change in tone from the almost continuous buoyancy
which prevailed in July.
The common talk has been that the
market had advanced about far enough for the present, and
that a halt should be called until there was time to distribute
and digest some of the stocks which must necessarily be sold
at such a period by parties who are satisfied to realize their
profits already accrued.
The absence of Mr. Gould on his yacht was made an excuse
for the assertion that lie had sold a good deal of stock, and
would do nothing more for the present in supporting prices.
T1 le Vanderbilts were also reported as bearish in feeling, on
account of the bad exhibit of earnings on their roads.
There
is no “exhibit’’ of earnings, though the public would be glad
to see one: but for June and July it is highly probable that the
net earnings were low, while in later months they may be
much hotter.
There was also a report from Chicago that the
Grand Trunk would get control of the West Shore road, and
this received more attention from the strength of West Shore
bonds.
Also, the Grand Trunk officials are dissatisfied with
their percentage in the trunk line pool.
After an uncertain market on Monday, there was an advance
in prices on Tuesday, and again on. Wednesday morning, when
the opening was unnaturally strong, and prices afterward fell off
sharply
on
free selling.
The weakness continued with
more
less variation through Thursday and until noon to-day, after
which time the tone was much better, and prices generally
recovered 1@2 per cent.
A principal cause for weakness was
the uncertainty iti regard to the Western trunk line pools, in¬
or
cluding the famous tripartite agreement, dependent on the
action of the managers in session at Chicago.
According to
the latest reports, the settlement of all matters is referivd to
a committee of five
leading officers, who are to submit a plan
of adjustment on Sept. 23.
Early in the week Western Union Telegraph and Pacific Mail
led the market in strength, the first being reported as oversold
by shorts and the latter as making large earnings.
The Manhattan Elevated stock, consolidated, is finally
listed, and the elevated road troubles are supposed to be ended.
The coal situation does not look promising, as it is now
believed that there will necessarily be a suspension of coal pro¬
duction for several weeks some time this fall to prevent the
supply from breaking prices. It is also understood that the
Reading will have to borrow the money to pay the Jersey Cen¬
tral dividend, and also the August interest on the first mort¬
gage bonds and the consolidated mortgage 5s; and an applica¬
tion for $3,000,000 more of receivers’ certificates is spoken of.
The short interest has been somewhat increased.

.
No feature in the reports of this company has been so much
discussed as the surplus balance in the general account of
assets and liabilities.
It is the usual custom in railroad reports
present a condensed balance sheet at the close of the fiscal
year showing on one side the assets and on the other side the
liabilities, and making the two sides balance by an item
“Surplus Income Account" or something of equivalent mean¬
ing, which indicates the real surplus balance to the credit of
shareholders. Not so with the Chicago & Northwestern balance
sheet, which has for years shown fictitious liabilities in the
stocks of proprietary roads, none of which were actually out¬
standing. ‘Suffice it to say that the actual surplus balance
when sifted out appeal’s to be about $33,009,000, as fully
explained on another page of the Chronicle in the editorial
to
columns.
The disposition of the land receipts is also rather obscure,
and it is not clear as to just how the money is used in retiring
bonds.
No details of the matter are given.
The annual report opens, as usual, with a summary of the
income account for the year, substantially as follows:

namely, the statement of the receipts and expenses for the
half-year ending June 30. This was always given in the
reports prior to 1886, and was the only live thing in them, the
rest of the matter being merely historical.
The President’s report says of the year 1883: ‘* The business
of the company for the year fell short of the usual favorable
showing. The anticipation of a general drouth in the earlier
months of the year cut down the revenues, which were not
wholly made good by the earnings of the later months.
Nevertheless tin* net earnings were sufficient rto meet the'
ordinary expenses of operation, interest and sinking fund re¬

Oregon Trans-Continental.—The directors of the Oregon
Trans-Continental Company have decided to issue a collateral
trust bond for $12,000,600, bearing 7 per cent interest, and
running for ten years, with a sinking fund. These bonds are
i;o be used in taking up the company’s
floating debt, which
aggregates about $11,200,000. The issue is contingent upon
the company's ability to get back its securities, which were
Maced in trust against the option on the $S-.0O<),0u() loan.
These securities, with others held by the company, will make
up the collateral which secures the bond.
This proposition
will be submitted to stockholders soon.
Oregon Trans¬
continental people are now endeavoring to obtain the consent
of holders of tlie opt;on loan to accept this bond, and it is
doubtful whether the consent will be

There is as yet no provision for the

Pittsburg Fort Wayne k Chicago.—A press dispatch from
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 5* said that the answer of this company
admits the expenditure of certain sums of money by plaintiff
for various improvements, but denies these expenditures date
from the time the lease was made, or that they aggregate so
large a sum as $10,668,413 15, and states that an agreement was
made that the defendant should issue certain guaranteed special
stock in payment for improvements, and that they had complied with the requirements. In conclusion defendant claims
that the plaintiff is not entitled to the relief, &c., prayed for.
for various reasons ; the principal of which is that if granted it
would enable the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to establish
a monopoly contrary to the rights of the public.
Rochester & Pittsburg.—At Rochester, Aug. 4„ notice of
pendency of action and complaint were tiled in the suit of the
Union Trust Company of New York against the Rochester &
Pittsburg Railway Company on $2,015,000 issued out of
$4,000,000 second mortgage bonds, covering the entire property
of the company.
Of this sum $1,132,500 is alleged .to have
been sold ati<l $1,IS?,000 pledged by the railway company to
secure the floating debt.
The suit is brought to foreclose the
second moitgage and sell the road, as default lias been made in
the payment of the interest due Aug. 1.
—A meeting of stockholders of the Rochester & Pittsburg
Railroad is soon to be called for the purpose of considering a
plan of re-organization.
A plan has been prepared which
provides for a change of the name of the road to the Buffalo
Rochester & Pittsburg. The re-organized company will have a
capital of $10,000,000 common and $5,000,000 preferred stock, if
this plan is carried out.

Picayune says the cotton was of good style and staple, but
had evidently been ginned before ripe, and contained a mod¬

further disposition of the bale has not yet been determined
upon.
Last year the first bale reached New Orleans July 10,

of Albany to Messrs. Butler & Stevens, Savannah.
It was
disposed of by auction at the Cotton Exchange at 10 cents per
pound. We pointed out some weeks ago the recommendation
of the National Cotton Exchange, that all first new bales
should be passed upon bv the Committee on Classification at
the Exchange where such bales are received, and the Savannah
committee, acting in harmony with the recommendation,
reported in substance that, while the bale was composed of
new cotton, it was much cut and discolored from
being picked

en route for the markets there, that prices are too
high, espe¬
cially as the advices concur in the opinion that the late cold
wave and rainy weather had no injurious effect on the crop.
Futures to-day dropped off, and the final figures showed easi¬
ness, owing to the universal desire to unload.

Oats have latterly been in better demand from the shorts the
available supply of contract grade being moderate. The de¬
mand has been mainly for immediate delivery though the
trading in options has been rather larger than recently. The

on the market, especially the better grades.
City mills have
also been weak, with little trade and a more than ampje
supply.
Wheat lias been quiet, both for export and on speculation,
and has shown some depression, notwithstanding the rainy
weather at the West.
It is claimed that there is still a large
short interest in wheat in this country on foreign account, but
with better weather at the West and Northwest, and an
important increase in the visible supply in the United States*
the tendency of prices has been in buyers* favor.
Some com.
plaints of the quality of the wheat are being heard at Western
markets; very little of it reaches the highest grade at the
moment, according to ill) statements of some, while others
aver that its quality is sufficiently good to commend it to
foreign buyers, especially at the present low prices.
The
stringency of money doubtless causes some farmers to send
their wheat to market before it is thoroughly dry, but as a rule
the quality of the new crop received at the distributing mar.
kets in the interior and on the seaboard is satisfactory.
The
reports in regard to the weather have a marked influence on
prices. Of late the clearing weather at the West has given
hopes of a higher temperature, and it has therefore been
difficult to keep options steady.
Exporters* limits have been
reduced, moreover, partly owing, it is understood, to the
favorable progress of the harvest in Great Britian, and thus
another element of weakness lias been introduced.
The condi¬
tion of the crop in the United States and the outlook for the
year are still alike promising.
To-day another realizing move¬
ment was noticed, and August closed weak at tUqc., Septein"
her 9,21gC., October 94c. and November 9-VUc.
Indian corn has been dull and depressed.
The transaction8
both for export and speculation have been quite light.
The
visible supply, it is true, has decreased 331,615 bushels, or
1.081,976 bushels within a fortnight, but on the other hand
the outlook for the crop is very promising, business is dull, and
the supply 011 the seaboard is ample for tiie requirements of
the trade at the present time.
The weather at the West has
at times been cold and wet, but the effect 011 prices has not
been at all marked; the general opinion' seems to favor the
idea of a large crop this season.
It is surmised that a more
decided decline might have taken place, of late but for the
smallness of the supply in Chicago, where it is averred that
•the later options have been manipulated to some extent in
the interest of stronger prices; the situation is not deemed
wholly favorable for making short sales. On the other band,
there are those who contend in the light of the increasing
