the current week, or within
So sudden a change was by no means expected to take place,
but rapid communications necessarily lead to surprises, and
these will probably be as frequent in the future as they hive
been in the past. The market closes with a somewhat quieter
appearance, the demand for money having subsided since the
publication of the Bank return ; but the quotation for three
months' bills is 4% to 4^ per cent, and there seems to be some
expectation that that quotation will be fairly maintained.
Next week the money accumulated by the Indian Government
to pay off the 4 per cent loan will be released, and that operation should produce some degree of ease in the market; but the
recent improvement has been by no means entirely due to the
requirements of the Indian Government, the movements in
gold and the improved trade demand for money having had a
more decided and more permanent influence. During the
present week the movements in gold have been somewhat
important. Some surprise was occasioned by the withdrawal
of a moderate supply on Canadian and American account, bat
Tthe operation is understood to have been quite exceptional,
notwithstanding that the New York exchange on London has
.become less favorable to this country. Some additional withdrawals of gold have also been made, chiefly for South America,
and on its foreign and Colonial operations the Bank of England
has been a decided loser during the last few days. Coin is,
however, returning from provincial circulation, and the last
Bank return shows that, notwithstanding there had been an
«filux on balance, according to the daily returns, of £288,000,
the falling off in the total supply of bullion was not more thaoi
£70,273. About £218.000 in coin had been returned, therefore,
from proviacial legislation. That return may have been hastened by the increase in the value of money in the London
market, there having been much more demand for deposits
among the discount houses. Oa Monday those establishments
increased their rates for deposits to the extent of one-quarter
per cent, thus retracing the step they took a few weeks previous when the money market assumed so very easy an
appearance. The Bank return also shows a falling off in the
-note circulation of £434,295, and the result is that the total
reserve has been augmented by £364,022. The proportion of
reserve to liabilities shows a moderate improvement, it having
increased from 39'17 to 40'44 per cent. The probability seems
to be that the demand for money will remain upon a fair scale,
and that present rates will be very satisfactorily maintained.
.Some are, indeed, of opinion that there will be a slight relapse
in the course of a few days, but the close of the year is
approaching, and the commercial inquiry for money is still
increasing. The gold movements are also uncertain, and our
importations cannot be large. There are, therefore, reasons
for believing in a firm money market and in the maintenance
of the present very satisfactory quotations. The following are
the present rates for money

The increased firmness of the money market and renewed
indisposition on the part of the banks to lend freely to the
Stock Exchange have caused the stock markets to rule dull,
and prices have had a downward tendency. The American
market has been weak and a want of activity has been apparentin it.
New York advices have not been favorable, and sales
have, in consequence, predominated.
British railway securihowever, though lower in value, can scarcely recede much
in price, as the traffic receipts are very satisfactory and the
balance sheets for the current half-year must be gratifying to
ties,
the shareholders. The earnings of the 14 principal railways of
England since July 1 have amounted to £21,637.339, against
£20,949,086, being an increase of £688,253 while on the three
Scotch lines since August 1 they have been £3,105,033, against
;
£2,004,429, or an increase of £100,604.
During the next session of Parliament, power will be sought
many works of public utility. There
for the construction of
be many applications to extend the existing railway system, and it is stated that Parliamentary agents have not been
so bu.sy as they are now for many years past. Many are of
opinion, in fact, that we must go back to the year 1845 before
we reach a period of similar animatioa. There will, undoubtedly, be much employmjut for the workin.g classes, not only
next year, but also in future years, unless serious political
complications should arise.
The weather during the past week has been mild but boisterous. Shipping disasters have been numerous but agricultural work has made satisfactory, progress. Those farmers who
commenced autumn work early .say that the season has been
unusually favorable, and that autumn sowing is being completed under very satisfactory conditions. Our imports of
wheat are liberal, and British farmers have delivered moderate
supplies. The trade has, in consequence, been dull, and sales
have only been practicable by submitting to lower prices. The
quantity of wheat afloat to the United Kingdom is estimated at
2,444,000 quarters ; flour, 106,000 quarter.s, and Indian corn,
will
;
164,000 quarters.
During the week ended November 19, the sales of home-grown
wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to 41,911 quarters, against 40,982 quarters last year
and 49,065 quarters in 1879; while it is computed that they
were in the whole kingdom 167,700 quarters, against 164,000
quarters and 160,260 quarters in the two previous years respecSince harvest the sales in the 150 principal markets
tively.
have been 583,571 quarters, against 523,662 quarters and 327,553
quarters; the estimate for the whole kingdom being 2,334,300
quarters, against 2,094,640 quarters in the corresponding period
of last season and 1,347,000 quarters in 1879. Without reckoning the supplies of produce furnished ex-granary at the
commencement of the season, it is estimated that the following quantities of wheat and flour have been placed on the
British markets since harvest. The visible supply in the
United States is also given :

derbilt has agreed to submit the matter to the arbitration of
a distinguished gentleman named by himself, Mr. Oiarles
!PraEcis Adams; but if Mr. Vanderbilt is willing in good faith to
submit to arbitration, it is obvious that the arbitrators must be
chosen by the several parties to the dispute, and not by one of
them alone. The decreased net earnings caused by the recent low
freight rates recall forcibly to mind the effects of the former
war, when, partly in consequence of its disastrous effects, the
Erie Road went into the hands of a receiver,and the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio suspended for some time the payment of
cash dividends, while the New York Central & Hudson in one
year at least failed to earn its 8 per cent dividend,, except by
reducing the expenditures on its roadway, etc., to an abnormally
Ibw figure. With the great changes which have since taken
place in the business of the country and the growth of local
trafSc, it is doubtful if any war now could be attended by equally
flerions results.

State and Railroad Bonds.— The transactions in Tenneasees
have been large at rising prices, and the renewed confidence is
based on the fact that the bond ease has been advanced on the
Supreme Court calendar at Nashville, and a decision is expected

The Bank of England statement on Thursday showed a gain of
£7,800 in bullion, and the percentage of reserve to liabilities was
39%, against 39 9-16 last week. The discount rate remains at 5
per cent. The Bank of Prance gained 1,350,000 francs gold and
week:
lost 470,000 francs silver.
Railroad and Misccllaneons Stocks.— The Stock Exchange
markets have not shown any general activity, but in special stocks
there have been, as usual, some exceptional movements. It is

" An engineer of water power has been appointed, and nnder
a careful supervision it is believed that this department of the
property will become an important one. Measures are nnder
con.sideration for the material improvement of the power at
Richmond. The power owned by the City of Manchester liaa
been acquired by this company. The differences between the
authorities of Lynchburg and the Canal Company liave be«i
happily adjusted.

First, the contract entered into with the Ohio Central Railroad
Company of Ohio, the Atlantic & Northwestern Railroad Company of "West Virginia and this company, for the consolidatioB
of the thres companies; the subscription of $5,000,000 secared
for the completion of existing lines; extension of Ohio Central
to the Ohio River, bridging the Ohio and construction of railroad to Charleston, SVest Virginia. The projected route of the
extension is from Ragle Rock, 17 miles west of Buchanan, following the valley of Craig's Creek, and by tunnel of one mile to
the valley of Sinking Creek, a tributary of New River. Thia
route admits of a line with a maximum grade of 30 feet. The
length of the entire lines, consolidated and to be constructed, i»
stated at 800 miles."
The following statement of earnings and expenses was pre-
$164,599
of 3 per cent for the past half-year. They took the position
that the present condition of affairs is only temporary, and
that they were juatitied in taking from their surplus sufiieient
to make up the next dividend. The past year's operations of
the Fitchburg Railroad have been marked by several uni)recedented occurrences, which, more than anything else, have interfered with a successful return. Beginning with October last
year there was a serious blockade, owing to a lack of terminal
In
facilities at this end of the road, extending into December.
January, February and March there was a disastrous snow
blockade upon the New York Central, followed by a strike of
brakemen lasting about three weeks. Soon after this the
ruinous warfare in through rates began and is still being
furiously fought. Add to these drawbacks the want of terminals in the shape of elevators and wharves, which are now
nearly ready for business in the Charlestown District, and the
condition of the Vermont & Massachusetts Division, a large
portion of which is being doable-tracked, and it is surprising
that the road makes as good a showing as it has for the past
year's work."

"Since date of balance sheet and upon completion of 3S0
miles, satisfying contract of March 5, 1830, all the United
States bonds have been delivered to the company by the Board

been completed at a cost of $20,331.
" The business at Groldsboro has improved so much that it was
found necessary to build a new warehouse and cotton platform
there; and, possessing no suitable location, real estate had to be
purchased. The warehouse and platform are now nearly completed. The road and equipment has never been in better
condition." * * *
" It is submitted whether it would not be good policy to
mike moderate dividends and complete the works, and renew
temporary with permanent structures, so as to be in condition
to Day dividends, even in such business depressions as followed
the panic of 1873. It is further submitted that branch roads
'Could be coustructed at coinjiarafively little cost that would add
greatly to the net profits." * * *
"For the past three years 3 per cent annual dividends have
^been paid. It is believed that a dividend of 6 per cent per
annum can hereafter be paid to the stockholders, and the property, as far as necessary, be improved ; any excess of earnings
beyond that to be applii^d to the improvement of the road,
Teplacing the old irou rail, as it wears out, with steel. With this
policy it is thought that the stock can be relied on for permajueut dividends."

be seen that the gross
receipts have increased $93,510.
The net receipts are apparently $9,506 less than last year, which is more than balanced
by the payment of $42,900 for new locomotives, which has been
•charged to operating expenses. At the reorganization of the
road, it will be remembered that the board of directors authorized the use of the profits for a certain time in making renewals
of track and other repairs for the permanent improvement of
the property. While the full quantity of steel rail has been
purchased, it has not yet been put in the track, owing to delays
in delivery. When this rail is laid, the track will be in excellent
oondition and require only the usual quantity for renewals.
While seventy-five new cars have been added to our car equipment.'during the year, the receipts of the road could have been
materially increased with a greater number, which the comfiany ought to build as taon as po.ssible. They can build in
heir shops an average of about ten cars per month. To
meet the requirements cf the passenger traffic four passenger
-cars ought to be built."

"It is recommended tk»t a dividend of 3 per cent to the
Central of New Jersey. At a meeting of the income bond
holders, the Times reports it was claimed that, according
to the agreement under which the bonds were taken by them,
in 1878,' it was stipulated that they should be payable in thirty
years from their date, but that in the bonds themselves the
words, "or before," were wrongfully or by mistake interpolated, making a serious discrepancy in the two documents.
The committee previously appointed reported progress, and
asked that they be continued over until another meeting, which
was done. By the middle of January, they said, the road would
be out of the hands of the Receiver, and everything looked
promising for a .satisfactory and favorable termination of the
present controversy. Mr. "William Alexander Smith, of the
committee, recommended that the bondholders should not push
matters too strenuously, but that they shoujd insist by all
means upon the correction of the error on the face of the bonds

—The Supreme Court of Missouri has
denied the application of this Company for a writ to compel State Secretary Chappell to give the company a receipt
relea-sing them from all indebtedness to the State, inasmuch as
they have paid if3,090,000 into the State Treasury. The Slate
holds that this money was received on account. The railroad
company claims it covers their entire indebtedness to the State,
and they ought to receive a receipt in full for it.

Long Islimd. On Dec. 10 a consolidated first mortgage for
J5.000,000 was filed in Queens County covering the road, its
effects and franchises, including the branch ana leas»d lines,
Hempsteid. Locust Valley, Norlhport, Port Jefferwii, Sa^ Harbor, Valley Stream & Far Rockaway, Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
Smithtown, Flushing & North Shore and Montauk roads. This
mortgage, which is to take np all prior mortgasjes when they
mature, is eiecated to the Central Trust Comoany of New
York as trustee. The principal is payable in gold in 1931, and
the rate of interest is 5 per cent, payable quarterly. The
mortgage will cover all franchises that may nereafter come
into possession of the Long Island Railroad.

New Albany & Chicago.—-The Louisville
Courier-Journal reports the present mileage of this road as

as the earnings of that division are not included in the reports.
The business of the company has been large this fall, and the
rolling stock has been inadequate. The returns for September
and October are accurate ; those for November are estimated,
but are under rather than above what they will be when all
are in. The expenditures for the maintenance of the roadway
have been larger than will be necessary this month and next.

weight is about the same as last season. The exports, however, show a reduction of about 40 per cent. To-day the

following
statement, showing the extent of the cotton crop, was issued by
the Department of Affriculture, December 15:
The condition of the cotton crop, as reported to the Department of Agriculture, is lower than in any season since 1866. The
general average of condition in October, which, with certain
limitations, atfords the best Indication of ultimate product, was
The nearest approach to this figure in fifleen'years was in
66.
the short-crop year 1874, when the average was 72.
In June and July the crop was withm five points of the
standard of last year, when severe and general drouth set in,
reducing heavily the prospect, causing premature development
of bolls and arrest of growth. Blight and rust naturally resulted. When rains came the second growth was too late to
produce much fruit. In addition to drouth there was some loss
from boll worms and much more from caterpillars. The latter
were reported in southern and middle counties of South
Carolina, many of the western and southwestern counties of
Georgia, eastern and middle of Alabama, the river district of
Mississippi, a few scattered tracts in Louisiana and Arkansas
and eastern and southern Texas. No reports were received
from Tennessee and North Carolina.
The December returns of product compared with last year are
as follows: North Carolina, 71; South Carolina, 77; Georgia,
80; Florida, 92; Alabama, 83; Mississippi, 73; Louisiana, 83;
Texas, 66; Arkansas, 50, and Tennessee 53.
The returns of condition in October and the yield per acre
estimated in November are more favorable than the December
returns of comparative product, which *re usually conservative
and somewhat lower than the outcome warrants. Taking the
reports of the season together, up to December 1 the indications point to a crop of about 4,900,000 bales, and a somewhat
higher product appears to be possible.
and Thermometer
Recoeds and Cotton Crop
Estimates. The writer of this was not in the United States
from the middle of July until about the first of October. For
that reason we have felt greater hesitancy than usual in expressing opinions with regard to the yield. Since our return
we have been attempting more carefully than ever before to
put ourselves in possession of the facts which mark the season.
To-day we give our friends some of the results, and in doing it
the reader will notice that we have been able to extend very
considerably our records. We have added two stations in
North Carolina, three in Georgia, one in Alabama, one in Mississippi, one in Arkansas, two in Tennessee, and one in TexasAnother month we expect to have still more.
But from what we now give it is easy to see that the yield
must be quite uneven. Take North Carolina as an illustration.
The rainfall in July and August this summer at Greensboro,
North Carolina, was only forty hundredths of one inch each of
those months, while the thermometer averaged two degrees
higher than for the same months of 1880. On the other hand,
at Wilmington, of the same State, there was plenty of rain.
Again, in Tennessee, in the same months, the rain was very short
everywhere and the temperature was high while at Mount
Ida, Arkansas, in August and July together, only one inch and
five hundredths fell, although at Little Rock there was rain
enough apparently to keep cotton alive.
With such conditions existing, had not the plant been very
well started in the spring, it must have died absolutely at the
points of least rainfall and lost substantially all its fruit. One
can readily understand, therefore, and fully believe, the reports
from such sections of largely-decreased yield and of no top
crop, although we never had a better season for growing one.
Furthermore, it is also presumable from the records and confirmed by outside reports that the rains of the past summer
were everywhere remarkably local in their nature, while the
temperature was high; and hence that in each State the crop
is short in spots, in some cases
even adjoining plantations
showing quite different results. On the other hand, bottom
lands have as a general rule produced well many instances
are reported where growth has never stopped through the
season; and in a very considerable portion of the South there
has been a good top crop, as it is called, secured.

mate of the steamer Rochdale has arrived at Sherbrooke, Guysborough County, Nova Scotia, from Indian Harbor Bay. and
reports that the Rochdale ran ashore, during thick, rainy weather,
at the latter place on the morning of the 14th. The vessel's cargo
consists of 3,920 bales Upland cotton. She will probably prove a
total wreck, as she lies in a bad position. No lives were lost.

but they were not well sustained, and proved to have but
momentary results, giving a feverish, unsettled tone to the
market. The impression gains ground that farmers are holding back supplies to an extent seldom before known in this
country, and that receipts must eventually increase at the
Western markets after the holidays. Foreign advices have been
dull, and the West of Europe is evidently under no apprehension of any deficiency in the supply of wheat, even if there
should be no increase of shipments from the Atlantic Coast of
North America. To-day the market was easier— No. 2 red winter, $1 42M for January, |1 45>i for February and $1 4714 for
