Money has been in good supply this week mainly in
consequence of the liberal disbursements by the Treasury
for called bonds, one block of over four millions having
been sent in by the Nevada bank on Wednesday.
The
demand from the interior is somewhat larger but not
excessive, and our banks are steadily accumulating
reserve.
This extreme ease in the money market cannot
be expected to continue to the end of the year, for next
week preparations will begin to be made by the banks for
the usual semi-annual disbursements, and loans will have
to be called in,
which may possibly compel those
borrowers whose demands are most urgent to resort to
the Stock Exchange for funds.
The payments for bonds
by the Sub-Treasury this week have amounted to $5,468,*
250 and for interest to $51,319, making a total of
$5,519,566.
The actual loss of funds by the Treasury

fact, however, that on November 1, 1882, the people held
in their hands 2 (millions less of silver dollars than they
•held on the previous November (although 27 millions had
been coined during the year), and 19 millions less of legal
tenders, but of gold they held 40 millions mere. We do
not care to interpret that fact, we would rather some one
else would do it.
All we say now is that' the continuance of silver coinage is a very unsafe experiment, and
if not stopped will some day, unannounced, bring upon us
the result we have indicated. How long or how soon that
day may Ido in coming, is a question of no importance in
this discussion.

it is not unusuil to
hearths
remark, in connection
with the
growth of railroad bu uness, that though earn¬
ings continue to show large gains on previous years, the
ratio of increase in many esses does not keep pace with
the increase in mileage—*n other words, that earnings
per mile are falling off, notwithstanding all reports agree
that the business of the country is expanding.
In the early part of 1881, when for a time our monthly
-aggregates of earnings showed such a state of facts to
•exist on the roads as a whole, in comparison with the
previous year, the point received considerable attention,
auad we cautioned our readers not to accept it as a true or
reliable indication of
1
.
the amount of business
actually
*
doing at the periods in question. Now that our tables
record not only larger total earnings but also larger
mileage earnings than in the previous year, the question
is less frequently alluded to in the public prints; still,
scarcely a week elapses but what we have some particular
road cited to us as apparently an exception to the general
rule of progress, because of this very fact of smaller mile¬
age earnings than in some other recent year, and a3 the
point is an important one to ail interested in roads of this
class, especially at the present time when such a large
volume of business is being transacted in all sections, we
allude to the matter again to-day and present a few figures
on the subject.
; Where a road makes additions to its
mileage, the
addition comes either through the construction of new
lines or through the acquisition of feeders or branch lines
already in existence. If in the former way, it stands to
reason that the traffic on the added
mileage will be light
tor a tong time, and if in the latter way it is equally clear
that the traffic must be considerably smaller
relatively
than on the old lines, since the main stem of
any system
must always earn more than
any of the branches or
feeders.
In either case we have roads
earning a large
sum per mile united with
roads earning a comparatively
small sum per mile, and of necessity the
average per mile
must diminish under this process.
But the extent to
vrhicli this may reduce mileage earningsUs net
generally
-
sisting of 1,500 miles, earning say $7,000 per mile per
year.
This road, we will assume, is increased by 2,500
miles, to 4,000 miles, the additional mileage earning only
about $3,000 a mile.
The entire system of 4,000 miles
would then earn $18,000,000 a year, or an average of
only $4,500 a mile, as against the $7,000 on the original
system of 1,500 miles. There is nothing strange or mys¬
terious about this.
Yet by some such a decrease in the
average is viewed with alarm, simply because it is not
understood how it was brought about, Even if by the
addition of the new mileage the earnings on the old lines
were increased
from $7,000 to $8,000 a mile, the total
earnings on the whole system would be only $19,500,000, or an average of but $4,875 per mile, a decrease of
$2,125, or over 30 per cent from the former average of
$7,000. Thus while there had been a very substantial
gain in business on the old lines, the mileage earnings
on their face would
seem to tell quite a
different story,
demonstrating conclusively of now little use these are
for this purpose.
This is a hypothetical case, and possi¬
bly an extreme one, but there aro many real cases hardly
less striking.
A very conspicuous one would be the
Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul, which in 1877 on 1,403
miles of road earned an average of $5,784 per mile, but
in 1881 on 3,830 miles earned only $4,445 per mile, or
$1,339 less, a loss of 23 per cent.
If we had the earnings by divisions, it would no doubt
be shown that the smaller average was entirely due to
the new mileage added, with its light traffic, and that the
old mileage, had increased its business very materially.
Unfortunately there are only a few roads of this class
that give such an analysis of their receipts, and the St.
Paul does not happen to be one of them.
We cite it,
however, because of its prominence. Among the roads
that do give such details may be mentioned the Louis¬
ville & Nashville, and as this company has more than
doubled its mileage since 1878,-and as the figures for
the latest month yet to hand, viz. October, have this
week come into our possession, a comparison of its re¬
ceipts fora number of years past will be both useful and
interesting at this juncture. ? The following table ex¬
hibits the earnings and mileage of the Louisville & Nash¬
.
ville for October in the last five years.

The company has within recent years

tend to reduce its average earnings.

good reason can be given why France should not make
the experiment, or why she should not succeed. In earlier
times France disputed supremacy with Great Britain, both
on this continent and in India.
In new regions some of
her old success may attend her. It is a saying of Michelet
that France did periodically by blood-letting what Great

people. There seems to
be nothing, however, in the present state of things to jus¬
tify the fear of a popular uprising. The controlling power
•of France is in the hands of the electors, and the electors
who have the greatest power are the conservative property
holders.
If they want a change of government they have
but to indicate their wishes. It is for them to say whether
they will have M. Gambetta or M. Brisson. They are the
masters of the situation, and there is no good thing to be
effected by revolution and violence which may not be
effected peacefully.
There might be danger in the city
mobs; but the city mobs have a wholesome dread of the
^army. There might, in other circumstances, be reason to
fear the army; but the army for the present is safe,

THE CHRONICLE.
The Paris correspondent of the Economist states that the
trade in American salted pork has almost entirely ceased since
the decree of February, 1881, by which the importation of the
article
virtually prohibited by the restrictive measures of
inspection .with the microscope imposed. ' The port of Havre
has suffered especially by the exclusion, and has maintained a
constant agitation against the decree, in which it was joined by
was
the Chambers of Commerce of Bordeaux, Marseilles and other
ports and towns. A consequence of the measure was that the
imports of salted pork in 1881 fell nearly one-half compared
with 1880, and the price rose accordingly.
The Minister of
Commerce his now presented a bill to the Chamber to repeal
the decree and permit the free importation, provided that the
pork is accompanied by a certificate that it is of the class
“fully cured.”
The weather during the past week has been somewhat un¬
settled, but, although only a moderate quantity of rain has
fallen, the condition of the land has not had the opportunity of
improving, and consequently the progress of agricultural
work has been slow. Ploughing and sowing are, in fact, still
in a very backward state, and unless we should have a
lengthy
period of drying winds it is more than probable that the area
of laud under winter grain will be considerably below the
average. The low prices current for cereal produce, and the
unsatisfactory state of the weather, militate very seriously
against the farmers* interests, and it is doubtful if there is
much, if any, improvement in their position, more especially as
the prospect for next harvest is not, at present, an encouraging
one.
As cereals, however, are not paying
crops, there is still
reason for hope should the weather in the
early spring prove
to be favorable.
Farmers have not bean
threshing wheat freely of late, owing
prices current and to the damp state of the weather.
Barley however, superior qualities of which command
remunerative prices, is forwarded in rather considerable quanti¬
ties to the various markets of the kingdom, and the deliveries
of oates have, during the last few days, been in excess of last
year. As regards the state of the wheat tiade, there is not
much change to notice. The condition of the produce
coming
to market has, for some time past, been adversely affected
by
the weather, and good dry samples are therefore scarce. These
have commanded a steady sale, and, in some instances, prices
have ruled in favor of sellers, the best white samples being
worth 46s. per quarter.
Medium and inferior sorts have,
however, sold slowly at irregular prices. The condition of the
home supplies being far from satisfactory, foreign wheat,
suitable for mixing purposes, has attracted attention, and has
commanded rather more money. The position of the trade has
not, therefore, materially altered, and it is not probable that
there will be any special movement for some time to come. In
the east of Europe the wreather is reported to be milder, and some
additional shipments of produce have been made to the United
Kingdom. Our supnlies, therefore, actual and prospective, are
still ample, and millers are not likely to augment their pur¬
chases or to buy in excess of their actual requirements. The
quantity of wheat and flour afloat to the United Kingdom is
estimated at 2,047.000 quarters, against 2,550,000 quarters last
year. Stocks of foreign produce in granery here remain large
and have suffered little, if any, diminution
during the last two
to the low
mouths.

aud Yorkshire.
The future
ing
course
of the trade for butchers’ meat is becom¬
of serious importance, inasmuch as it is quite evident
that, unless there be a larger production and increased impor¬
tations, a further advance must take place in the quotations.
The butcher’s bill is already a very serious item of domestic
expenditure, and it i3 certainly by no means a pleasant pros¬
pect to consider that our future bills will be for still heavier
amounts.
Although the production of meat is remunerative to
the grazier, not much disposition is shown to embark capital in
that branch of agriculture. It has long been contended that
the correct policy for British farmers to adopt is to put as much
land as is possible to grass, and produce meat food for market.
But stock raising and stock feeding require a larger amount of
capital than arable farming, and farmers being, as a rule,
poor, are unable to depart from the existing system. Then
there is the risk of cattle disease, which, if it should make its
appearance in any herd, proves to be ruinous.
Farms, however, are now to be had at a low rent, and it is a
matter of surprise that more is not done in the way of produc¬
ing beef and mutton for market. As it is, our supplies of
stock are annually diminishing, and as far as sheep are con¬
cerned, at the present rate of consumption, we shall in a few
years be entirely wanting in them, as we have only 30,000,000
in the country, and the supply has been diminishing of late at
the rate of 1,000,000 per annum. Fortunately, last winter was
a very mild one, and the “ fall ” of Iambs was excellent; but the
position for the consumer shows little improvement.
The following table shows the extent of the imports of cattle
and dairy produce into the United Kingdom in October and in
the ten months ended October 31. Several articles, especially
bacon, show a large falling off, owing to diminished receipts

course, the street jumps at the couclusion that Omaha and
Northwestern are to be combined in some shape, by lease or
consolidation, but this is a matter entirely of the future, and
any present opinions about it are probably nothing better than
guess-work. The precise terms of the agreement among the
managers of the four railroads engaged in the recent war have
not been made public, but an immediate restoration of rates
and a good prospect of harmony in the future are the essen¬
tial points established, so far as the value of their stocks is
concerned. The question of “territorial rights” in building
new roads was'regarded from the first as rather a fanciful
question than any thing else, and its mere suggestion has given
rise to many humorous and ironical remarks—including the
title given to its author of the “ Duke of Omaha.”
In addition to the railroad settlement the market has taken
little interest in the testimony of Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt be¬
fore the Legislative Committee.

Company, of the same gauge, and with which it will be worked
in harmony, as required by sections 5 and 18 of the Act of
Congress, approved July 27, 1866. The point of departure from
the existing line is a few miles east of Tehachopa Pass Summit,
at Mojave Station, the northern terminus of the Los Angeles
Division of the existing road. The distance to the Colorado
River is about 240 miles; of this distance 100 miles eastward
from Mojave Station have been constructed and are now open
for traffic. The remainder is well under way ; a large force of
workmen is employed upon it, and it is expected that the track
will reach the Colorado River by or before the 1st of July next,
at which time it is expected that the track of the Atlantic &
Pacific will reach the river from the east; the gap between the

Oregon Improvement Company.—This companv has issued
a circular setting forth its plans for Meeting the indebtedness
incurred in the purchase of the Pacific Coast Steamship
property and the improvements and additions thereto. The
net earnings of the Improvement Company for twelve months
(the month of November being partly estimated) were $1,104, 613. Deducting interest on bonds and sinking fund charges,
there remained available $779,618.
This sum, added to the
cash resources on hand at the beginning of the year, made an
available total of $1,437,150. Of this sum, there was expended
for extending and improving the San Luis Obispo & Santa
Maria Valley Railway (owned by the company', for finishing
the new iron steamship Queen of the Pacific, and - for other
purposes chargeable to construction, the sum of $1,212,513,
leaving available resources at the present time $224,637.
Therefore, only a small reduction of the indebtedness incurred
by the Pacific Coast Steamship purchase was affected during
the year, and no dividends were paid, although the net earn¬
ings were much in excess of the anticipations of the manage¬
ment.
It is proposed now to issue $2,000,000 of new stock
at par, $1,500,000 of which will be used to pay off the
indebtedness mentioned, the remaining $500,000 to remain
unissued as an asset in the treasury. The right to subscribe
for this stock at par will be first offered to the holders of the
company’s bonds (according to the terms of the mortgage).
The stock not subscribed for by the bondholders will be offered to
the stockholders of record January 8. Bondholders will have
the right to pay their subscriptions in bonds at par and accrued
interest. The announcement is made that a dividend of 3%
per cent will be paid March 15 cut of earnings of the six
months preceding, and that the earnings of the company
appear to justify the continuance of dividends at the rate of 7
per cent par annum. The company’s bonded debt is $4,950,000,
and its present stock $5,000,000. The proposed addition will
increase the outstanding stock to $6,500,000, with $500,000
additional in the company’s treasury.

This company came into the control and operation of the At—
lanta & Charlotte Air-Line Railway April 1, 1881, and of the
Richmond York River & Chesapeake Railroad July 1, 1881.
The tonnage and passenger statistics of these roads, as kept
prior to the transfer to the company,
do not afford sufficient
accurate statement of their traffic for the
year 1881 in eompari-on with that of the entire year operated
by this company just closed. Such comparison, however^
would probably not be materially different from that which i&
shown by the full statistics of the other roads operated by this
material for any
company.
These are the Richmond & Danville and
Northwestern North Carolina road, and
Piedmont roads, the
the North Carotin*
road, on which there was an increase over last year of freight
traffic in mile-tons of 14,970,132, equal to 21’5 per cent, with,
an increase in earnings of nearly 7 per cent; also an increase in.
passenger mileage of 1,254,845, equal to 7 per cent, with an
increase of earnings of 2 2 per cent.
The entire gross tonnage
of these roads for the year 1882 amounts to 827,672 tons. On
all the roads operated’by the company during the year 1882,.
being 744 miles of main line, the number of gross tons trails^
ported was 1,210,267, the number of mile tons being 119,126,853.
The average rate received was 1*95 cents per ton per
mile; the average cost of transportation on same was T23 cents
per ton per mile.
The ratio of expenses to earnings is 64 4
per cent.
There has been expended during the year in new property
for the Richmond & Danville Railroad Company over and
above the amount charged to maintenance—which itself effects
a large betterment of the property as represented in the re¬
port of the General Manager—in construction and purchase of
real estate, $173,515 48, and in new equipment $372,910 69;
making an aggregate of $546,426 17.
On the Atlanta & Charlotte Air-Line road there has been :
expended, over and above a very full maintenance account and
some additions to equipment, $288,642, which is charged to
betterments under our contract with that company.
And on the Richmond York River & Chesapeake road $80,885
have been expended in permanent additions and improvements
to the property, chiefly"in the new work at West Point above
referred to.

Ascertained by the company, thus: In July corrected

tember corrected earnings to July 31, and so on ? This would
certainly have prevented the growth of an erroneous impression.
The company aid indeed publish a single statement of corrected
earnings to the end of August, but this was given for 1882 only,
and the Chronicle applied at the office for the
comparative
figures for 1881, and they were distinctly refused, and hence
the figures for 1882 alone were useless.
The Chronicle uses the utmost
diligence to get all the
railroad earnings which companies will
give out, and devotes
much
■-
space to their systematic tabulation in the best forms for
practical use. The Boston Transcript criticises the Chronicle's
publication of Union Pacific earnings, courteously in manner,
but unfairly in its declarations of fact.
The discussion
rests entirely on the
question as to what comparative state¬
ments for 1881 and 1882 the Union Pacific
Company has issued,
as any exhibit for 1882
alone, being partial ana unaccompanied
by comparative figures, was practically useless. Now the

Keceipts from the Plantations.—The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement eaolx
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the followiug. In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course*, do not include overland receipts ©r
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement oi the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the prop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.
