The division of traflBc appears to have been arranged in a somewhat indefinite manner, for it is to be revised at stated periods, and it is possible that these revisions may be made the pretext for a fresh outbreak, inasmuch as the thirty-days' war now ended has proven such a profitable venture for those who fomented the strife.

On Monday when some progress was reported in the negotiations the tone of those who had been most belligerent was materially changed, and this was reflected in a further advance, in which the other Granger stocks participated and, by sympathy, the whole list was more or less favorAbly influenced. On Tuesday it was rumored that the Omaha road had fallen under the control of the Chicago & Northwestern and Mr. Vanderbilt, and it was authoritatively stated that the war was nearing its end. This news stimulated a still further rise in the Grangers, and speculators for a decline began to cover their short conlian usual concentrated tracts in the general list. _ On Wednesday history. So far as is known at the moment, nothing appears to have been settled by the conference which could not have been adjusted in a brief interview by the executive officers of the warring railroads.

Of these letters we laid aside at the time of their receipt twq or three for comment, in as much as they covered popular errors of considerable interest. Our overloaded columns have prevented the noticing of them before, but we take up one to-day, and if opportunity offers may reply to others on a subsequent occasion. There is a marvelous confusion of ideas prevailing respecting the difference between the intrinsic and current value of the silver dollar. Both the fact itself and the influence of the fact are more widely misunderstood than one conceives to be possible, until an occasion gives rise Several weeks since, of gold the to certificates expression of opinion.

No, we answer most decidedly, it is not it is worth just about 12 cents less. The error has ; arisen by taking the silver bullion quotation of 113 p)er ounce at a wrong relative valuation. That quotation is iik the first place the price of pure silver, and in the second place it is a price based upon or stated in gold dollars which are nine-tenths fine. Hence to reach a correct result the writer of the above letter must work out his problem ou this revised basis after he has done that, he ; deduct about nine cents from hi» bullion value of silver dollars, as he states it, and will then conclude with us that the phrase " eighty -eight cent will find it necessary to paper as the Louisville Courier-Journal writes as follows dollar " is not a " hollow political catch," bat the literal in reply to our remark (in the article referred to), that expression of a most unfortunate fact.

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. average There is nothing strange or mys- Yet by some such a decrease terious about this.

Dbcbmbbk THE CHRONICLE. 16, 1883 j [From our own oorreapondent.l ; are some indications that the upward movement in the rates of discount, which was decided in the early part of the week, will be followed by a return to easier quotations. The Bank rate remains at 5 per cent, and for a brief period the banks and discount houses were unwilling to take even the best bills under 4 per cent. The discount market is now easier, and the open market rate of discount does not exceed 3% to 3% per cent. A feature in the money market during the week has been an advance in the rates of interest allowed by the discount houses for deposits to the extent of one-quarter per cent, the quotation being 3M per cent for money left at call and S^ per cent if with notice of withdrawal. These rates of interest, it may be observed, are no longer regulated entirely by the Bank rate. Had it been so they would be 4 and i)i per cent for money at call and with notice, respectively ; but it is evident that it would be impossible for the banks and discount houses to allow so high a rate when they cin obtain no more than 3% to 3% per cent for discounting the best bills. Profits in the discount market have, for some time past, been reduced to very narrow limits, but this is cipable of almost general application, as competition is very keen, and all branches of business suffer. There are, however, reports that the general condition of our commerce is not very sound, and some are of opinion that failures are likely to take place before long ; but there is not sufficient evidence existing to justify such a belief. The uncertainties about the future are evidently grave, political affairs in France and apprehensions regarding the future course of the gold and money markets necessitating much caution ; but such a policy is calculated to bring abaut a sounder and more healthy condition of things in the mercantile world. At the same time the agitation on the principal stock exchanges of the world is likely to weed out weak operators, and ultimately to promote more confidence. Any great renewal of animation, however, is scarcely likely to take place this year, as the termination of it is not far distant. The Bank return, as already stated, is decidedly more favorable, but it is rather disappointing as regards bullion, the increase in the supply not being more than £128,312. A sum of £32,000 had, on balance, been withdrawn from the establishment during the week embraced in the return, so that the return of coin from the provinces has been about £160,000. Notes, however, have been returned from circulation to the extent of £543,435, making the increase in the total seserve iE671,747. The Treasury balance has been augmented by f 1,057,245, and the total now reaches £3,603,070, being about X600,000 less than at this period last year. The supply of bullion amounts to £20,436,269, against £20,610,746, while the reserve of notes and coin is £10,520,694, against £10,809,471 at this date is 1881. The proportion of reserve to liabilities has from 38% per cent to 40% per cent, being almost pecisely the same as at this period last year. The money market, which was decidedly firm in the early part of the week, has become much qneiter since the publication of the Bank return, and the rates of discount are now as under: risen JPer cent.

There has been some agitation in London daring the week owing to the political and financial difflcalties with which the f atare is involred. The news from Paris has been a cause for great anxiety, and the decline in the New York exchange on London to 4*79^ has led to the belief that before long we shall be making shipments of gold to New York. The excitement prevailing on the New York Stock Exchange has also had considerable influence here, and American, as well Canadian, securities have been greatly depressed but as the week closes a better feeling prevails, which is partly attributable to a renewal of confidence respecting the course of American affairs and partly to a more favorable Bank return. In fact, since the publication of the weekly statement, the money market has assumed an easier appearance, and there Open-market rates— 30 aud 60 days' bills 697 average quotation for English wheat, the price of mid- scription at the 40 years from July, 1882, and no tenders will be accepted under £96 10s per £100.

Tke Facia wrrespnndeDt of the Economist states IhAt the. trade in American salted pork has almost entirely ceased since the decree of Febraary, 1881, by which the importation of the corn estimated to be afloat to the United Kingdom at the under!^ mentioned dates .^^y arUele wms virtaalljr prohibited by the restrictive measures of inqteetionwith the microscope imposed. The port of Havre has soffered especially by the exclusion, and has maintained a Wlieat «eii8taDt agitation against the decree, in of barley afloat 181,000 quarters last year which it was joined by the Chambers of Commerce of Bord'^aux, Marseilles and other ports and towns. A consequence of the mea.sure was (hat the Importa of salted pork in 1881 fell nearly one-half compared with 1880, and the price rose accordingly. The Minister of Commerce h IS 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 cored." The weather during the past week has been somewhat unsettled, bat, 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 bia been slow. PJoughing and sowing are, in fact, still in a Tery backward state, and unless we should have a lengthy period of drying winds it is more than probable that the area of land under winter grain will be considerably below the average. The low prices current for cereal produce, and the unsatisfactory state of tie weather, militate very seriously against the farmers' interests, and it is doubtful if there i's much, if any, improvement in their po.-ition, more especially as ^ Atpreaent.

At the Baltic porta prices are high and there is little, if any, room for profit on shipments to this country. The fourth and last series of public sales of Colonial wool were commenced on Tuesday last. Australian wools have been selling at prices rather in favor of buyers, but Cape produce has sold well at the closing rates of last sales. new arrivals to date are 104.419 bale.s. consisting of The 20- 167 bales Sydney, 22,957 Victoria, 11,732 Adelaide 40 Swan River, 974 Tasmania, 15,599 New Zealand, 31,194 Caoe and 1,766 Falkland Islands. 39,000 bales were held over from previous imports, includicg 9,000 bales Sydney, 13,000 Victoria 1,400 Adelaide, 100 Tasmania, 5.500 New Zealand and 10,000 Cape. Of the above new arrivals about 3,000 bales Australasian and 8,000 Cape were forwarded direct to the Continent and Yorkshire. The future course of the trade for butchers' meat is becomthe prospect for next harvest is not, at present, an eacouraging ing one of serious importance, inasmuch as it is quite evident one. As certals, however, are not paying crops, there is still that, unless there be a larger production and increased importations, a further advance must take place in reason for hope should the weather in the early spring the quotations. prove The butcher's bill is already a very serious item of domestic to be favorable. Farmers have not bean threshing wheat freely of late, owing expenditure, and it is certainly by no means a pleasant prosto the low prices current and to the damp state of the weather. pect to consider that our future bills will be for still heavier amounts. Although the production of meat is remunerative Barley however, superior qualities of which to command the grazier, not much disposition is shown to embark remunerative prices, is forwarded in rather considerable capital in quantithat branch of agriculture. It has long been contended ties to the various markets of the kingdom, that and the deliveries the correct policy for British farmers to adopt is to put as much land as is po.ssible to grass, and produce meat food for market. Bat 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 sy,stem. Then scarce. These there is the risk of cattle disease, which, if it should make have commanded a steady sale, and. in some instances, its prices have ruled in favor of sellers, the be.st white appearance in any herd, proves to be ruinous. samples being Farms, however, are now to be hid at a low rent, and it is a worth 463. per quarter. Medium and inferior sorts have, however, sold slowly at irregular prices.

As it is, our supplies of wheat, suitable for mixing purposes, has attracted stock are annually diminishing, and as far as sheep are conattention, and has commanded rather more money. The position of the cerned, at the present rate of consumption, we shall in a few trade has not, therefore, materially altered, and it is not probable that years be entirely wanting in them, as we have only 30,000,000 there will be any special movement for some time to come.

The tonnage and passenger statistics of these roads, as kept prior to the transfer to the company, do not afford cuflicient material for any accurate statement of their traffic for the year 1881 in compari-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 ia shown by the full statistics of the other roads operated by thia company. These are the Richmond & Dinville and Piedmont roads. ih» Northwestern North Carolina road, and the North Caroline road, on which there was an increase over last year of freight traiBc 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 The entire gross tonna^tt increase of earnings of 2 2 per cent. of these roads for the year 1882 amounts to 827,672 tons.

The average rate received was 1-95 cents per ton per mile; the average cost of transportation on same was 1-23 cents per ton per mile. The ratio of expenses to earnings is 64-4. percent.

In the Chronicle of December 11 comments were made upon the large discrepancy between the estimated earnings of this company, as reported monthly, and the revised statement of actual earnings as published for the nine months ending September 30. It appears that the remarks then made were misapprehended in some particulars, and in response to requests made by officers and friends of the company, the publishers of the Cheonisle take pleasure in explaining the facts cf the case. It must first be understood that any earnings published during the year 1881, or in the annual report for that year, are useless for comparison in 1882, as the mileage is constantly changing, and therefore the monthly comparative figures issued by the company during 1882 are the only authority for both years. The Union Pacific shortly after the close of each month gives out its estimated or approximate figures, showing the gross earnings for that month both in 1882 and 1881. From January 1 to September 30, a period of nine months, the total estimated gross earnings thus obtained were $21,111,219 in 1882, against ^^The . . XXXV. [Vol. reports and additions of approximate earnings that it mightr: have discarded many months ago, if it had glanced at th» actual earnings published from time to time." In reply to this^ the Chronicle says, as a matter of fact, that the actual earnings were not obtainable from time to time at the company's office in New York, but were withheld from publication. " Upon August 23 the TranAgain the Transcript says script published the official figures for the first half-year, from which this fact that the actual was not showing the gain of the approximate earnings might have been seen by any one" The Chronicle respectfully claims that this isolated publication of actual earnings to the end of June, if made in the Transcript, never came to the notice of the Chronicle, and was not followed up in the Transcript by the publication of the later earnings for July and August. Jloreover, those corrected earnings, if so published, were definitely abandoned by the Transcript afterward, for did it not as late as September publish the following statement (all estimated figures) for the first eight months of the year, showing an increase of over 1J4 millions, whereas nsiufr the actual figures for the first half year the increase would have been a full million less, or only $751,000 ?

In the same vein the Transcript says, the "reports of actual earnings, which we are bound to say are as freely published as are the approximate reports," &c. This can only be met by courteous but positive denial, for it is conceded by all that estimated reports have been published every month, but no one claims that actual earnings have been similarly issued. The only full report of actual earnings in both years issued in New York was published in Nov., and that covered the nine months ending Sept. 30, althongh the Chronicle has urgently sought for every exhibit of gross and net earnings which the Union Pacific would give out. The Daily Stockholder and the Wall Street Bally News of Dec. 12 each contain a criticism on the Chronicle figures, discovering the enormous discrepancy of $3,158,338. 'They begin by saying the Chronicle published gross earnings "for ten months ending Nov. 30," &e. The Chronicle respectfully suggests that they consent to call the period from Jan. 1 to Nov. |l8,973,016 in 1881, an increase this year of $2,138,203. Some 30, eleven months, instead of ten, as all the rest of the world six weeks after the close of September the company issued its so calls it, and they will find the figures just right. This is a figures showing the actual gross earnings for the same nine fair sample of much of the criticism on the Chronicle's months, which were $21,972,764 in 1882, against $21,550,164 in statistics. 1881, an increase of only $422,600. Put in tabular form the The Octobbr statement of the actual earnings of the Union two sets of figures show as follows:. Pacific road and for the ten months from Jan. 1, 1882, as 1882. 1881. Inc. in 1882. compared with the same period of 1881, is as follows: Actual earnings, 9 months... $21,972,764 $21,550,164 $422,600 10 monlha to Oct. 31. -October. Estimated earnings, 9 moe... 21.111,219 18,973,010 2,138,203 * Decrease, t — . $861,545 $2,577,148 $1,715,603 Thus it appeared that the gain over 1881, which had been f2,138,203 on the estimated figures, was reduced to $422,600 when the actual figures were published, and it was this large difference of $1,715,603 on nine months' earnings which was remarked upon rather sharply by the Chronicle. The officers of the company desire that notice should be particularly called to the fact that the estimated earnings for the current year, 1882, were not reported larger than the actual earnings turned out to be, but that the latter, when ascertained, were in fact $861,545 heavier than the estimated, and the discrenancy of $1,715,603 above noticed, arose mainly from the very large excess of $2,577,148 in the actual ea'rnings in 1881 over the estimated figures of that year. As to the facts, it is hoped that the foregoing statements will be plain enough. But why was no revised statement of actual earnings supplied until the end of nine months, when the Immense difference above noticed had accrued ? When each statement of estimated monthly earnings was issued, why was not another also given out, showing the actual corrected earnings for both 1882 and 1881 up to the close of the latest month ascertained by the company, thus In July corrected earnings to May 31 ; in August corrected earnings to June 30 ; in September corrected earnings to July 31, and so on ? This would certainly have prevented the growth of an erroneous impression. The company did indeed publish a single statement of corrected earnings to the end of August, but this was given for 1883 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 1 he Boston Transcript criticises the Chronicle's publication of Umoa Pacific earning.s, courteously in manner, but unfairly in .^;t, ^clarations of fact.

JteeeiplM o(- Prices of leading staples of agriculture have, however, been better supported than in recent weeks, and a more confident, •cheerful tone pervades mercantile circles.

Rio coffee has advanced on the spot to So. for fair cargoes, on a better demand, but tht) higher prices have checked business to a great extent. Options have been fairly active at higher prices, closing weaker, however, owing to an increase in the receipts at Rio de Janeiro ; No. 7 sold to-day at 590c. for January, 6-Ooc. for March, 6-15@6-20c. for April and 615@B'25c. for May ; Maracaibo has been very active within the range of 7@ 11?!2C. or 8>^@8?ic. for good Cocnta; nearly 15,000 bags of Maracaibo have been sold within a week, but owing to the large supply the market has shown little improvement. Kice has been steady, and to-day was more active and rather firmer. Spices have been quiet as a rule, and nutmegs have been weak, though pepper has advanced to 18^@18Mc. for Singapore. Foreign fruits have sold more freely at some advance, layer raisins now being at $2. Molasses has advanced to 62c. for choice New Orleans, with a fair business. The supply here is not excessive, and the market is firm. The receipts have been pretty liberal, but have not, thus far this season, been as large as dealers here had been led to expect j foreign has been quiet.

To-day the market was dull for the dearer brands in but fairly active for the lower grades ; prices showed no Jnarked change. Wheat has been only moderately active as a rule, and prices Jhave fallen several cents tor the later deliveries, though cash and December have latterly advinced M@>2C. Ocean freights have declined somewhat, but the fact has had little effect on the foreign trade, and the speculationhas shown little life as a rule, though within a day or two it has been a little more active. The arrivals at Chicago have increased somewhat, but -the receipts of all kinds of grain there thus far this year are nevertheless reported as twenty-five million bushels less than those of 1881. The supply of wheat, however, on both sides of the Atlantic, is considered large for the present state of years: Com Class Barley Kye 1880-81. 8,266,856 5,613,240 1878-79 7,140,455 52.875.062 04,561,754 34,830,253 5,063.060 3,102,962 47,115.930 107,674,840 32,643,758 4.575,079 2,251,486 67,989,809 121,nOi,939 3,093,353 4,045,035 3,001,932 77,114,075 83.513,501 20,999,072 5,441,118 3,095,078 194.261,093 230,533,063 199,062,844 ..160,436.093 Total grain Rail shipments •reeks 1881-82. 8,304,280 from Western lake and Week Week Dec. 10.

Domestic Corro.i Goods —The exports of domestioi for the week comprised 2,599 packages, of which 1,929 were mtat to Great liritain, and the remainder (in relatively small lotii) to other dt'stinations. There was an irregular demand for brown and colored cottons at first hands, and purchases were mostlygoverned by actual requirements. Wamsutta and New York were reduced to ll^^c— the lowest which these goods have been sold since 1878 -and the stocks on hand were readily disposed of at these figares. Wide sheetings of the above makes were also reduced 2^c. per yard;, and there was a marked decline in snch low-grade bleached goods as Greene G, &c. In view of the above changes the market closed weak and unsettled, and some further price revisions will probably be found necessary for the equalization of values. Print cloths ruled quiet and steady at previous quotations, and prints were slow of sale, with the exception of shirting styles, in which there was a fair business. Domestic Wwjlen Goods. There was a steady, though strictlymoderate demand for fancy cassimeres and worsted coatings by the clothing trade, and a fair distribution of snch fabrics waft made by ag«nts on account of orders on lecord.
