at
the Assay Oflice for
the necessary examination of foreign bullion are eninadeqaate, and the deposits of sueh large
amounts of gold as those which were sent in on Saturday and Monday, test these facilities to the utmost.

Consequently, consignees of gold bullion
must await the completion of the process of examination by the assayers before their consignment can be
made available by the banks.
Since Friday the purchases of 6 per cent bonds by
the Assistant Treasurer have amounted to $919,000, and
since tbe 1st iflst. the purchases have been $2,867,000.

before money can be expected to be raised permanently
It is evident that, in order to conduct our trade, only
a comparatively small portion of our capital is required, and
consequently there is a large amou nt available for investment
in other directions. All sound securities have risen in value to
a high point, and speculators and the public are now becoming

in value.
sufficiently bold to operate or invest in securities of a secondrate or even indifferent character. Mexican, Honduras, Costa
Rica, Paraguay, and Turkish bonds have been rising in price,
and it is stated that some of the new companies recently introduced have met with fair success. Probably, however, we have
only just entered upon a period of speculative activity, and probably in the coming year there will be a great revival, calculated,
possibly, to end in ultimate trouble. So far, the speculation
which has been in progress has not had mnch perceptible
influence over the money market; it has led to some movements
in bullion, but it has failed as yet to add materially to the current rate for money. How soon an impression will be made
upon the money market is a question which it is impossible to
answer; but if the value of money should be forced up, it will
be due to speculative and not to commer-jial action, and it is not
likely that the improvement could long be maintained.
Although no change has been made by the directors of the
of England in their rate of discount, the money market
has been firm during the week, and especially during the
earlier portion of it. At one period, the rate for three
month.s'
bOls was nearly equal to that current at the Bank of England
but since the improvement which has taken place in the New
York exchange, a somewhat easier tone has prevailed. Mercantile paper has continued scarce, and the
money market conse

is less

fruitful in financial operations, but, excepting a Portuguese
loan, it does not appear that any foreign loans are

contemplated. Possibly, however, Russia will make an attempt
to obtain a loan in the new year.
The wheat trade during the week has been decidedly quiet,
and a very moderate amount of business has been in progress.
Prices are, however, scarcely so firm, but there has been no
material variation compared with the close of last week. Good
wheats are held with some firmness, and inferior sorts are
difficult of disposal.
During the week ended November 27 the sales of home-grown
wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to 46,010 quarters against 35,580 quarters last year,
and 51,323 quarters in 1878 ; while it is computed that in the
whole kingdom they were 184,000 quarters, against 142,320
quarters in 1879 and 205,300 quarters in 1878. Since harvest the
sales in the 150 principal
markets have been 569,672 quarters,
against 306,433 quarters in 1879 and 779,773 quarters in 1878
;
the estimate for the whole kingdom, for the current year,
being 2,278,700 quarters; for 1879, 1,501,750 quarters, and
for 1878, 3,119,000 quarters.
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 upon the British markets
since harvest. The visible supply of wheat in the United
States is also given:

them an excellent investment.
Considering tlic great improvement in this property, and the prosperity opening before it in the immediate future, there is no doubt that
the holders of the " B" bonds, now selling at 77is, and of the currency
bonds, now selling at the very low price of 46, will receive their interest
(now being paid in preferred stock) in money, in strict accoi-dance with
the terms made when tlie company was reorganized, while the preferred

The report
says, of the old Erie stock and the assessments, that
there are still outstanding 9,162 shares of common and 3,801%
shares of preferred stock of the Erie Railway Company, the
holders of which have failed to pay the assessment provided
for in the plan of reorganization.
Two suits are now pending against this company which have
been instituted by the holders of some of this outstanding
stock, to compel the company to issue its stock therefore in
exchange, notwithstanding the failure of such holders to com-
ply with the plan of reorganization within the time therein
prescribed. The board have no means of forming any opinion
as to what the result of such suits may be.

(For the year ending September 30, 1880.)
The report of this company for the late fiscal year has just
been issued in pamphlet form. A review of the eompany's
operations, based oa the brief statistics issued in advance of the
report, was published in the Chkonicle of December 4, on pa^es
573 and 587, but the figures presented below in much detail give
a more comprehensive view of the workings of this great
corporation. President Jewett devotes several pages of his
report to an argument on the question of the company's obligation to declare dividends on the preferred stock when earned
ui any fiscal year. He arrives at the conclusion that there is no
obligation to declare such dividends, and that the only preference of this stock is the right to have 6 per cent in any year
before dividends are declared on the common stock.
The lease of the Lockport & Buffalo Railroad, from Lockport
to Tonawanda, w%8 made in the year, and the Buflfalo Southwestern Railroad, from Buifalo to Jamestown, 68 miles, was
leased and worked the last two months August and September.
There were at the end of the year 438 miles of road with three
rails, of which 404 miles are double track and 34 miles single
track; 260'5 miles of road broad gauge only, and 311 miles of
road standard gauge only. Total length of road, including
branches and leased roads, 1,009 '6 miles.

D. Babcock, the President, says in his report
increase in gross receipts over the previous jrear is
the net earning being in$69,446, and of expenses ji39,007
creased $30,439, or about 10 per cent. Deducting in both years
the revenue derived from dividends of the Providence & Stonington Steamship Company, the increase in net earnings would
be $.')0,.^62, or about 21 per cent, although there has been no
diminution in the fierce competition, and, with trifling exceptions, the 'rates,' both for passengers and freight, have been as
low as ever. The loss of tne Narragansett, of the Stonington
Line, in June last, not only prevented the Steamship Company
from paying its usual dividend in July, but caused a virtual
suspension of the through passenger business via Stonington
for nearly a month, and when it was resumed by the substitution of a much inferior boat, the falling off in travel caused
thereby involved a large loss of revenue, which it is impossible
to compute. * * *
"The extensions of the Pawtuxet Valley Road to Pontiac and
the Pontiac Branch Road, both of which were alluded to in the
last report, were completed and opened for traffic on the first
of January last, and have since been operated by this company.
The business of the line between Providence and Hope has
been fairly remunerative, and a lease of the above roads for a
number of years will probably be taken. » » *
"The Rhode Island Central Railroad, better known as the
Warwick and Oakland Beach Railroad, having been sold under
foreclosure, was offered to us at a price out little greater
than the value of the rails, and it was deemed judicious to
purchase it, which was done in June last, and on the first nf
July it was opened for traflJc. The travel during the summer
was larger than was anticipated and will doubtless constantly
increase.
It is believed that it will prove a valuable feeder to
the main line, and your authorization of the purchase will now
be asked, and that it be regularly recorded as the property of
this company."

The President remarks in his report that this gratifying
increase of ii'58,626 in our gross receipts is mainly attribatable to the general prosperity of the conn'ry, and the healthier
conditions of trade. "During the past year we hare moved
91,436 bales of cotton, against 62,153 bales the preceding year—
the excess being 29,283 bales. Of these, but 16,207 were fnrnished along the line of our own road the remainder, 75.239

bales, having reached us from points beyond Florence."
" Our up tlirough freights have exceeded those of the lait
year by $16,571, and our way freights those of the previons
year by $7,628." • * * "In our passenger service, a like
improvement is noticeable the receipts of this year having
been $100,309, as against $86,007,_the larger proportion of this
;
—
increase being in our way travel."

Friday Night, December
Friday. P. M., December 17, 1880.
The MoTEMisHT of the Crop, as indicated by our telegrams
from the South to-night, is given below. For the week ending
this evening (Dec. 17), the total receipts have reached 238,490
17, 1880.
Trade has become comparatively dull. The speculative
values at which many staples of agriculture are held check
exports; recent failures have disturbed the markets for such
important imports as tea and coffee; and the approaching holiday season is felt in general business. The high rates current
for money on the Stock Exchange are not felt to any material
extent in commercial circles, and yet attract attention and comment, contributing to some extent, in conjunction with the high
values put upon railway securities, to a feeling of uneasiness
not favoiable to active trade. The weather is seasonably good,
and the general condition of the country is regarded as eminently prosperous.
In provisions a generally quiet state of affairs has prevailed,
Lard toward the close has been

advanced, in sympathy with the Western markets, but for other
articles the course of prices has been downward, and much
irregularity has prevailed, occasioned by the heavy stocks.
Old rness pork was sold on the spot today at $13@$13 25, and

for December, quoted at f 12 55@n2 90; January, |13 75@$14 40,

extremely dull, and closed only about steady at 7Mc. for long
clear and 7/^c. for long and short clear together. Lard was
higher to-day, due to speculative support; the export demands
at the moment are meagre; prime Western sold on the spot at
week, 218,341 bales the previous

and Liverpool show a decline at the close ; strained to good
strained rosins are still dull at $1 80@$1 85. Alcohol in bond
is quoted at 38^c for January.
Refined petroleum early in the
week sold at 10c for export, owing to a snarp advance (fully 2c
per gallon) in London, owing to the presence of a large "short"
mterest which the " long " party most effectually pressed. At
the close there was a decline of Ic. per gallon there and this
market reached to 9Mc. from refiners and 9^c. for re-sales.
Crude certificates closed irregular and quiteactive at the new
figures ; mixed pipe line opened 9lMc, sold up to 91%c., and
closed 9l%c. bid. Ingot copper quiet .at 18%@19c. for Lake.
Wool has been in some sale at rather easier figures. Clover
seed, 7;J^@8^c., and dull.
The business in ocean freight room has been limited, owing
te the exceedingly reduced supplies of tonnage; and grain
being held above export prices, rates at the close were higher

To-day the market opened dull and
wreak, the early months declining materially. The improved
market of Saturday was due to the better advices from Liverpool, and that of Tuesday was stimulated by the better public
and private reports from Manchester. The Bureau report was
made public on Wednesday, and, though differently interpreted, was generally regarded as favorable to a yield fully up
TO current estimates, and caused temporary depression. The adTance maintained for a time yesterday was caused by rumors of
bad weather at the South, and to smaller receipts at interior

The above totals show that the old interior stocks have increased during the week 14,226 balas, and are to-night 29,005
bales less than at the same period last year. The receipts at
the same towns have been 2.252 bales less than the same week
last year
Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indioatingthe actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are sometimes misleading, as they are made up more Urgely one vear
than another, at the expense of the interior .stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following.
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not mclude overland receipts or
Southern oonsumptien; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

GrUNNY Bags, Bagging, &c. Bagging continues to move only
in small parcels, for consumers' wants, and even this demand is
slacking up. This is only to be looked for at this season, and
but little increase can be expected before the new year. Prices
are rather easy, and a round lot could be obtained at a low
figure.
For small parcels buyers are paying 9^c. for 1/4 lbs.,
10@10%c. for 2 lbs., and llM@ll/2c. for standard qualities.
Butts are also in the same position, and l)eyoud a light jobbing
inquiry there is little of interest to note. Holders are not
pressing goods, and are quoting 2%@2/4c according to grade,
but there are some sellers who are willing to accept a shade

market has been dull, and prices were drooping
throoghout most of the past week. Supplies were very liberal
at all points, and there was very little demand except far the
extreme low grades (No. 2 and superfine) and the choice
" patents" from spring wheat. These were in some request,
but the low grades finally developed weakness, and to-day the
whole market was much depressed, involving a general reduction of figures, and not much inquiry at the decline.
The wheat market has been variable. The export demand
has latterly been quite small, and at the close the English
shippers generally reduced bids to $1 18 for No. 2 red winter
on the spot, with options for February selling at $1 23, and No.
1 white, same delivery, §1 20. The chief support to the market
has been speculative, but this has weakened under liberal receipts at the West, accumulating stocks and dull foreign advices, and to-day a firm opening was followed by a decline.
Indian corn has had a fair sale at slightly varying prices, and
the close is without important change, though showing to-day
a downward tendency; and boat-loads of No. 2 mixed were not
flour
salable at over 58«.
The movement is free for the season.
The receipts of new Southern corn continue in small parcels,
which sell at very irregular prices. Rye is more firmly held.
Barley has met with a fair demand at generally firm prices. No.
2 Canada selling to-day at $1 15; but some revision is made in
quotations for State barley.
Oats have been fairly active for speculation, and No. 2 mixed
sold today at 4-t^c. for January and 45Mc. for February; but
lots on the spot and prices easier.
The following are closing quotations

as soon as merchants have taken account of stock and closed up
the business of the year. The demand for staple cotton and
woolen goods has been comparatively light at first hands, but
there was a further inquiry on the part of package buyers for
white goods, quilts, printed lawns, piques, cambrics, and some
other spring fabrics, resulting in a fair business. The jobbing
trade has ruled quiet, selections having been almost wholly
restricted to light re-assortments for immediate distribution, and
there was not the least tendency toward speculation (by retailers) as was the case at the corresponding time last year.
Domestic Cotton Goods. The exports of cotton goods during
the week ending December 14 were 3,690 packages, including
1,654 to Chica, 643 to U. S. of Colombia, 414 to Great Britain,
—
326 to Hayti, 222 to Brazil, 133 to Mexico, 104 to Hamburg, 55
to Venezuela, Sic. There was a lessened demand for nearly all
and the volume of new business was comparatively light; but agents continued to make
large deliveries on account of back orders, and prices ruled very
staple cotton fabrics at first hand.s,
all such makes as govern the market.
Cottonades
were more active, and there was a satisfactory movement in
plain and fancy white goods, quilts and piques. Print cloths
were exceedingly quiet, and prices were again lower, sales of
