by Messrs. Hays, Pierson & Du Puy, the committee having in
charge the scheme for the reorganization of this company, from
which we learn that the carrying out of the Scheme is temporarily delayed by the opposition of bondholders represented by
Messrs. Moras Bros. In order to show the comparative weight of
each party in the pending litigation, the circular gives the total
amount of bonds outstanding under the first mortgage, $7,919,920;
of these the committee hold $7,035,540, or 8884 per cent.
The
contestants, who have.carried the case on appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, represent holders of $176,000, or 2'22 per
cent. While the balance belonging to parties who have not
joined in the scheme nor in the litigation is $708,380, or 8'94 p. c.

Exchange has been near a minimum,
and curing the balance of the year an active market is hardly
expected. Money grows perceptibly easier, and to the heavy
government bond dealers the banks and other prominent lenders
have voluntarily reduced their rate for call loans to 4 per cent,
and at this rate have plenty to offer. On stock collaterals the
ordinary rates have been 5@8 per cent, with exceptional transactions at 1 and 7 per cent.

Exchnnsc Foreign exchange has been somewhat irregular,
and rates of leading drawers are more than usually in advance of
the pricrs on actual business. The bond importers have done
very little this week, and thus the demand from an important
quarter has been lacking. To-day, the nominal rate for demand
sterling was reduced by the prime drawers to 4.85.
The Bank of
Montreal has its rate for 60-day bills at 4.8H, while the other
prime drawers are asking 4.S2. Actual transactions are made
at 4.81@J, and for demand at 4.84@i.
In domestic exchange the following were the rates on New
York at the undermentioned cities to-day: Savannah, buying
3-10 off, selling J
Cincinnati, quiet and firm, 100 discount,
selling par; Charleston easy, buying l-5@3-16 discount;
St.
Louis, 1-10 discount; New Orleans, commercial f, bank f discount; Chicago, 25 to 75 premium, and Milwaukee par.

that as the notes fell duo they could probably b« renewed at

The new bridge over the Hlackstone River at Central Falls*
has been completed and subjected to severe tests. The entire
cost will not exceed $65,000, about equally divided between,
masonry and iron, while six years ago the estimated cost of th«
iron alone was $60,000.
The line of larger boats from Providence to New York, which
started in June last, proved to be very attractive -and popular,
and took its lair share of travel. It was closed for the season a
month earlier than was intended, owing to the disaster which,
befell the Massachusetts. This powerful steamboat Is being most-.

staunch than when first launched. The Boston & ProvidenceRailroad corporation has no ownership of any description oi
nature in any steamboat, nor in the stock or bonds of any steamboat company; but it naturally takes a great interest in all such,
connecting lines. It is proper to state that the greater efficiency
of this, the original steamboat route between Boston and New
York, was construed as a hostile attack by one of the competing lines; consequently, an agreement for the sustaining;
of freights at remunerative rates was broken up in April \mttr
thirty days' notice to that effect having been previously served
upon us, and much of the business between Boston and New York
is at present done at little profit, if not at a positive loss.
A direct competing line to Providence, four miles longer that*
this road, was opened in September last, over the Massachusetts)
& Rhode Island and Rhode Island & Massachusetts roads, leased
to the New England corporation, to which attention was called
last year.
he effects of this competition are not yet fully
developed, and cannot be definitely estimated.
The President commented upon several portions of the report.
Regarding the $227,000 in notes, which mature this year, ho
stated that this amount would be paid on Monday next, substantially from the fund accumulated for that purpose, only a
very slight borrowing being necessary. Regarding the policy-.which the board had pursued, the President said there was no
doubt that they could have paid from the earnings of the road
seven per cent dividends besides the interest, but in view of th©
condition of things about them they had thought it judicious-,

ur market was rather more active for export early in the
flo
week, several thousand barrels of low extras selling'at $5 45@
$5 55, but the demand was not sustained, and the local trade
continued quite dull.
The relatively low prices of flour, as compared with wheat, have caused production to be curtailed in a
measure, but supplies are still quite large, and the feeling regarding prices of the future is such that there is no buying beyond immediate wants. To-day, business was dull, and prices
weak and unsettled.
The wheat market was""active and rather firmer early in the
week, with large sales of No. 2 spring at $1 31@$1 32J on the
spot, $1 32@$1 83 for December, and $1 833$1 31 for January,
but the demand has latterly fallen off, and prices declined. Red
winter wheat has been neglected throughout, bat there was a
fair business in the better qualities of white wheat at $ 1 50@
•4$1 50. To-day, the market was lower, with sales of No. 2 spring,
New York grade, at $1 30 for December and $t 32 for January,
and No. 2 red winter nominal at §1 42 on the spot.
Indian corn was very active and buoyant early in tin week,
prime No. 2 mixed advancing to 64§c. oa the Bpot and 65c. for
December, but the demand was not sustained; at the close
there was only a moderate demand at 63J@64c. on the spot
and for all December. Supplies coming forward are very fair
for the season and in excess of the corresponding period last
year, while the low value of swine will no doubt cause a
larger proportion than usual of the crop to be sent promptly to
market.
Rye has been quiet, and closes unsettled and depressed. Barley
•has been active, with choice Canada sold at $ 1 02@1 05, and the
export demand continues, but business was to-day quite limited.
Canaia peas have been fairly active at 83@85Jc, in bond.
Oits have been less active, and part of the recent advance is
lost, the market closing quiet, with No. 2 graded quoted at SOJc.

the large manufacturing corp >rations, being about closing their
annual accounts with the mills, made some liberal sales of bleached
cottons, Ac, by means of price concessions and extended terms of
credit, and heavy cassimeres and cotton-warp worsted coatings

more pressure to sell certain styles of cotton dress goods

8,807 packages. Brown sheetings were in steady demand by
jobbers and converters and ruled firm in price, and brown drills
were fairly active lor export. Bleached cottons were more freely
distributed in certain makes through the medium of reduced
