some recovery

during the past

week, both in values and in the tone of the Wall Street mar¬
kets, the feeling which prevails is far from settled or satis¬
factory. The very fact that the railroad war can continue
so
long, threatening so great harm over so wide a field, in
a season when merchandise is
moving so freely, is a dis¬
turbing feature. Besides this, the variances and disagree¬
ments between other
prominent operators in the market;
the peculiar condition of
important properties such as Tele¬
graph and Elevated Railroad stocks ; the railroad commis*ion bill which
goes into operation with the first of
January ; the interference of the Attorney-General of the
State in stock speculations; and the
increasing frequency
of failures in commercial
circles;—each of these has added
its portion towards
preventing the return of that confidence
which so many have anticipated.
The truth is, the influence of the present railroad war
reaches beyond the stocks
directly affected, and really
beyond the settlement which may be soon made. It

The other unfavorable features mentioned above would

disposed the public to take an adverse view of the
prospects. Still there is, as stated, an irritable feeling
among operators and a less profitable 6tafee of commercial
business, which do not encourage speculative movements,
and, for the moment at least, help to prevent the more
propitious circumstances from having their due influence.
The action, also, of the Attorney General in the Mutual
Union matter is unfortunate and not reassuring.
Had he
simply stated that there was, in his opinion, sufficient
grounds for asking leave of the court to bring the action
his course would not be so open to criticism.
But when
he decides that the act in question is a “
usurpation of
“•power in direct hostility to the letter of the statute,”
and that “it would' be a mere evasion to
deny the
application,” he puts himself in a very false position—
one that will make'him
appear much like a paid counsel
should the courts of higher resort decide that his view is
an incorrect one.
Besides, the conclusion from his action
is that any company which misinterprets a statute—and
therefore, through a mistaken idea of the law, makes an
illegal issue of stock, however small or large—forfeits its
charter, which is in itself an absurd proposition, and
might in its consequences, upon many other stock hold¬
ings and stock properties, be very disturbing and

disastrous if sustained.

CHRONICLE.

Monday it was understood that negotia¬
opened for a reference of the disputed
points to arbitration between the belligerent roads in the
West, it was an easy matter to turn prices upwards while
the shorts were covering.
In the evening, however, of
that day the announcement was made at the up-town
hotels, where brokers and speculators assemble for the pur¬
pose of trading upon whatever fact or gossip they can
gather, that Mr. Porter, President of the Chicago St. Paul
Minneapolis & Omaha, had positively refused to negotiate.
The reason given for the interruption in the nego*
tiations was the discovery of the fact that the
Chicago Mil¬
waukee & St. Paul had bought the Chippewa Valley
&
Superior road, thus encroaching upon the territory
of the Omaha, and threatening competition with that
company in its efforts to secure a title to the North Wiscon
sin land grant, which embraces some of the most valuable
timber land in that State.
It was alleged by Mr. Porter
that this was an act of treachery on the part of the
St#
Paul managers, and that in consequence of it he declared
that he would continue the fight.
Under this new aspect
of the contest, speculation was very unfavorably influenced
at the opening on Tuesday, but the decline was subse¬
quently arrested, mainly by an unfounded report of the
resignation of Mr. Porter. When this rumor was denied,
the speculators for an advance selected two or three
spe.
cialties and, by carrying them upward, succeeded in
keep,
ing the market generally strong for the remainder' of the
day. On Wednesday afternoon the news that $4,600,000
bonds embraced in the order for redemption ipsued on
Saturday had been presented for payment, had a favor,

If any gold has already been sent
out from London, the
shippers and consignees have not

regard Wednesday’s advance in the rates for sterling as
merely temporary, and likely to have the effect

against

About the oniy thing which can

in London.
Until Tuesday the rate in the

was less than 4 per cent, but
Wednesday morning’s cable
reported an advance to 4£ and the movement appeared to
have caused a temporary decline in consols.
This fall in

involuntarily associates it with the idea of a bankrupt con¬
cern.
Yet to entertain such a thought of the present
Erie Company and its managers, is not only to make a
grievous mistake as to its real condition but to represent
that condition as the exact contrary of what it most
assuredly and truly is; for the company is not an insol¬
vent body, but a concern standing on solid ground and
paying its own way.
For three years now it has earned the full interest
charge on its entire debt, and in two of these three years
has made a 6 per cent dividend upon its preferred stock,
that out of this year’s earnings having been declared this
week, while carrying in each case a handsome surplus to
the credit of profit and loss account.
The detailed report
juBt received confirms the figures of the abstract state¬
ment used by us last week, but we
may repeat that the
net surplus on the year’s operations for three
years past
stands as follows: In 1880, $1,790,621; in
1881, $1,887,
418; in 1882, $1,166,642. Thus the company is able to
show a surplus over all
charges of every description
(excepting of course the dividend upon the preferred
stock, calling for $457,932), of more .than 1^ million
dollars in a year when it was
powerfully affected by a
great railroad war and an extraordinary deficiency in the
agricultural yield of the country. We stated last week
that gross
earnings showed a falling off from the previous
year of $739,831, but this does not represent
fully the
effect of these two

unfavorable influences.
Turning to
traffic earnings we find that on
merchandise freight there is a decrease of
$1,423,394, the
combined result of lower rates and a
diminished
volume of business. This was offset
by an increase of
individual items

of

$343,243 in passenger earnings—which on this, as on
other roads, continue to make
gratifying gains—by an
increase of
$85,946 in coal earnings, and by an increase
of $254,374 in
miscellaneous other items, leaving the
net decrease
$739,831, or total gross earnings of $19,.
975,774, against $20,715,605 in 1880-1.
The
company managed to reduce expenses $168,136—
freight expenses decreased $221,809, and'passenger ex¬
penses increased
only $53,673, though the company car¬
ried 640,037 more
passengers, (traveling a distance of
21,647,093 miles), than in the previous year—and this left
net
earnings only $571,695 below the year 1880-1, or
$6,887,680, against $7,459,375. The decrease in passenger expenses is to be
ascribed, in large measure, to the
greater number of
passengers carried per train, which
averaged 63 in 1881-2, against 58 in
1880-1, but also,
no
doubt, to its being handled with increasing economy.

year 66£ million tons one
lions in the coal mileage cuts

down to 30 million tons the
freight mileage. The decrease in the mer¬
chandise mileage occurs in the face of a
gain in the actual
number of tons handled.
Knowing that the volume of
through traffic must have fallen off because of the deficient
crops, and seeing that the average number of miles that
loss in the total

hauled has fallen from 179 to 164, the con¬
clusion would seem to be that the

but the present figure certainly looks
exceptional. On the
Central the load in 1879-80 was 218 tons and in 1880-81
217 tons.
Probably the Erie’s traffic is more

nearly bal¬

anced in the two directions—that

is, there is

not

a"disparity between that carried east and that carried west,
diminishing the number of cars hauled empty one way.
The Erie could never have reached this
present high
average except for the improvements that have been made
in track, guage, grades, &c., and the heavier
engines
brought into service. This has also reduced the cost to it
of moving freight, and we find that
during the late fiscal
year a further decrease was established in the expense per
mile of three thousandths of a cent, from 529 thousandths
in 1880-1 to 526 in 1881-2,
though the former figure was
already below that of the Central for that year. The
reduction in expense, however, does not meet the decrease
in the earnings, which amounts to 37 thousandths of a
cent per ton per mile on coal and 67 thousandths on mer¬
chandise, or 56 thousandths on all freight, leaving the
net earnings per ton per mile only 223 thousandths of a
cent against 276 thousandths in 1880-1, a decrease of over
19 per cent in one year.
The falling off in the merchan¬
dise earnings per ton mile is of course the result of the
rate war; and the smallness of the net
earnings on all
freight—less than nine-fortieths of a cent a ton a mile—
shows on what a narrow margin of profit the trunk lines

In

assumption of the telegraph business, these begin
step. If Government acquires the existing
lines, it must seize them or buy them. If it buys, it must buy
at tneir nominal value.
Conceding that such purchase
would carry with it the almost indispensable
patents
owned by the lines, this would involve paying 100 millions
or so for
property which those who oppose the telegraphs
when they are anti-monopolists, assert could be
duplicated
for say one-quarter of that amount.
Hence this anti¬
monopolist organization virtually makes the proposition,
that Government shall buy telegraphs for three or four times
what they cost to build and would cost to duplicate now.

connect
this Bradford
branch with the Allegheny Valley road, and that, when
completed, will give the Erie not only a line to its coal
lands, but all the way to the great manufacturing city of
Pittsburg. This should certainly prove a very valuable
connection.
Then by a contract made the first of last
May, the Lehigh Valley, a heavy coal producer, agrees for
10 years to give the Erie all its traffic—which the Erie
formerly received only in part—for points west. An agree¬
ment has also been entered into with the Pennsylvania
Coal Company, insuring to the Erie the entire production
of that company’s collieries in Eastern Pennsylvania,
whether bound east or west,
Another of the year’s
achievements was the purchase of the control of the Blossburg Coal Company, by which the Erie secures 66 miles of
railroad and 28,000 acres of coal lands, producing, it is
•tated, 400,000 tons of coal annually. With its,position
thus greatly extended and strengthened on coal traffic,
with a prospective outlet to Pittsburg, with its Chicago
k; Atlantic road to Chicago (nearing completion), and
with lines to Cincinnati and Indianapolis over the Cincin¬
nati Hamilton & Dayton, the outlook for the Erie would

being considered but left for development.
Passing, however, the question as to the mode of proce¬
dure, let us suppose the Government in possessien of a
telegraph system, with the old companies out of the way
by fair or foul means, and a law passed prohibiting all
private competition under severe penalties, such as now
exist against private mail carrying, for evidently eves
the Government could not afford to leave itself exposed
to renewed competition.
Having then the telegraphs bow
would it use them ?
Would it, for example, maintain the
inviolability of messages ? All the operators would be
of one political party, or at least it would be necessary
that the messages sent should be transmitted to the higher
officers, who would be a part of and in accord with the
general administration.
Thus for political communica¬
tions the party in power would virtually control the
wires. It could decipher or detain its opponents’ messages
so as to
plot against or thwart their purposes, and another
power in addition to the new patronage the telegraph
bureau would afford, would be put into the
of the
Government for perpetuating itself.

perhaps the most of us know that
great strides forward are being made in that section; but
there are few probably even among those well informed who
appreciate fully the extent of the new areas thus opened
up.
Some idea of the development going on is afforded
by examining the sales of lands by the different railroad
lines; but unfortunately the information here is very mea¬
gre, only a few of the companies apparently being willing to
furnish intelligence on this point. Still, those we have suffice
to give an indication as to what at least the railroads are
doing in this direction. For the year ended June 30,
1881, the St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba company sold
only 97,863 acres of its lands, but in the late fiscal year—that
ended June 30, 1882—iPsold no less that 203,143, realiz
ing therefrom over a million dollars—$1,108,312. During
the nine months of the calendar year to September 30 the
St. Paul & Duluth Company received as net income from
sales of lands $208,514; during the whole of the calendar
year 1881 the sales amounted to only $81,798. Coming
now to the Northern Pacific, we find that during the four
months that have elapsed since the close of its fiscal year
(July, August, September and October) the company sold
175,772 acres of land on its Minnesota and Dakota divisions
In

closely into the matter we find that the falling off in the
land really taken up is only about eight hundred

and that the remaining three millions decrease in
that
year is due to the fact that in 1879-80 3,757,889 acres
of swamp lands were approved to the States, while
in
1880-1 only 569,001 acres were so approved.
As these
swamp lands have merely changed hands, they play no
part in the total placed,under cultivation and should not
be included in it.
The same may be said of the lands
certified to railroads ; these, too, in most cases have
only
changed hands. Recognizing that the usefulness of the
statement depended upon
separating these latter from
the rest, and feeling assured that the published com¬
parisons were full of inaccuracies—some of them used
total disposals, and disposals for settlement and cultivation,
indiscriminately—we made early application at the Land
Office for a correct tabulation, which we have recently,
through the kindness of the Commissioner, received. This
we present
below. It includes, as said, only land disposed

laws, and as it gives the details for each State and terri¬
tory for five years past, should prove very valuable and
—which is the section we are at present considering— interesting.

A statement went the rounds of the press

which embraced other items—such as
swamp lands patented to the different States and also
lands certified to railroads, &c., &c.—and which was mis¬
leading in showing the quantity actually entered for
settlement and cultivation.
An examination of the fig¬
ures for the years
1879-80 and 1880*81 will make it
clear how unreliable such a comparison would be.
In the former year the total disposals of lands by
the Government amounted to 14,792,372 acres, in the
latter year to 10,893.397 acres, a decrease of 3,898,975
acres.
Not having the details, one might be inclined to
suppose that here was a tremendous falling off in the
demand for public lands.

railroad lands as showing the extent of the new areas being
entered upon, for so long as the former can be had at a
merely nominal sum, intending settlers will not purchase
the latter at $4@$6 an acre.

gold imports in the future was better than in this month.
Some large railroad negotiations, including the sale of
some $12,000,000 worth of land
by Northern Pacific, and
the sale of some $15,000,000 bonds by the New York West

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF NOVEMBER, 1882.
In November the money market became very stringent

in the latter

part of the month, and borrowers on stocks
sometimes had to pay as high as 20 to 35 per cent for call
loans. The banks were below their 25 per cent limit,
and the

declining stock market and necessary shifting of
an activity in
money which aggravated
the ordinary closeness of a November market.
Secretary
Folger offered to redeem on presentation, without rebate
of interest, the bonds embraced in
outstanding calls to
the amount .of $5,000,000 per week, and finally he offered
to redeem $10,000,000 bonds with interest to Feb.
28, not
embraced in any of the calls.
During the last five days
collaterals caused

of the month

$9,000,000 bonds were redeemed
under these various offers, and the supply of loanable
funds was largely increased, relaxing the rates for
money.
The business in investment securities was quite
moderate,
but in speculative stocks there was
great depression in prices,
culminating on the 25th of the month, when lower figures
were reached on
many stocks than had been made in one or
two years before.
There was a heavy bear influence in the
market, and the decline was partly owing to this; but, ex¬
cept for the stringency in money and the cutting of rates
among the railroads of the Northwest, it would have been
impossible to effect so large a decline by purely speculative
hammering. The railroad earnings were remarkably large
and the prospect for future months was
excellent; but in the
absence of a strong support from
large operators this was
uot sufficient to
keep prices steady. The depression in the
steel industries and the
shutting down of certain steel rail
manufactories

only incidental to the decrease

put out for the year 1883, Large orders were placed

favorable for the railroads. After the relaxation

25th, and with some prospects of an adjustment of

market recovered materially.
Foreign exchange ruled at low figures during Novemwr, and there was a moderate
importation of foreign gold.

§ Ex dividend.

London, Saturday, November 18, 1882.
The supply of mercantile paper continues very limited, and,
although there has been a settlement on the Stock Exchange
daring the week, the money market generally has presented*
very quiet appearance, and the rates of discount have had a
downward tendency. The official minimum remains, however,
at 5 per cent, but in the open market the quotation for the
best three months’bank bills does not exceed 3% to 3/^ per
cent, while the rate for short loans, after being about 3,^ to 4
per cent, is now 3 per cent.
This week’s Bank return is of a
more satisfactory character, the proportion of
reserve to lia¬
bilities having risen to 3S% per cent from 37/4 Per cen^ ^
week. There has been some slight demand for bar gold and
sovereigns—the former for Germany—but coin has been return¬
ing from provincial circulation, and the result is that the sup*
ply of bullion held by the Bank has slightly increased, but
only to the extent of £50,745.
The total supply of gold held by the Bank now amounts to
£20,307,957, which corresponds with £20,681,019 last year; while
the total reserve is £9,848,947, against £10,445,449 at this date in
18S1. The position of the Bank is not, therefore, quite equal
to that which existed twelve months ago, but the rate is the
same, and there is a larger discrepancy between the official and

The liabilities of the Bank are, how
ever, much less; the total of public deposits (the Government
account) being only £2,545,S24, against £3,122,601, and of other
deposits, £22,593,159, against £23,323,220 in 1881. The position
of the money market is evidently one of some embarrassmen ,
and is likely to remain in that condition for some time to com®*
It is not regarded as probable that any special demands will be
made upon us this year, but the American and German ex
open

and prices are very high, the quotation for the best sort*
being as much as £23 to £39 per cwt. The brewers are, there¬
fore, at their wits’ end to find substitutes, and “ Mincing Lane”
is being searched for them. A correspondent writes as follows:

ure,

Owing to the partial failure of this season's English hops, together
with a large demand to supply the American market, values have ad¬
vanced t > such au extent that substitutes are eagerly sought after in
the Mincing Laue Market, and drug3 which can, on aooouutof their
bitter qualities, be used in the manufacture of boor, have been in
speculative demand to such au extent that in some cases the vaiqe*
have advanced 300 to 40 J per cent.
It has generally boon supposed
that beer could only bo made “bitter” through the medium of the hop
plant; but this innocent delusion must he given up, the laws of supply
and demand having taught us that there are other plants not familiar
to Kent or Surrey which can be used lor the same purpose.

miles from 40s. to 120s.; quassia from £5 to £ 10 per ton; Guinea grain*,
which have always been more or less in use for brewing purposes, from
32s. to 60s. per cwt.; and the most surprising of all, ohorotta, a drug
which a month since was almost unsalable at 3d. per pound, has act¬
ually been sold at 3s. to 3s. 6d. per pound.

The weather has become

quite wintry, and snow has fallen in
The “northern lights” have been
very distinctly visible throughout these islands, and even on
the Continent, and a severe winter is in many quarters pre¬
dicted. The wheat trade has in consequence become firmer in
t»ne, but an increased visible supply in the United States and
targe stocks in this country induces millers to operate with
great eaution, and
only to supply actual wants.

decrease in both dry goods and general merchandise.
The total imports were $7,540,880, against $9,660,842 the Pr®*

just published some statistics
relating to the European harvests. Assuming these figures, for the week ended Nov. 28 amounted to $6,506,431,
which are necessarily conjectural, to be
fairly correct, this $8,109,476 last week and $6,953,823 two weeks previous. The

Danville, Va., to MooresviUe, Iredell County. The North Caro¬
lina Midland Company propose to issue $2,000,000 of mortgage
bonds to complete the road, and the rental is expected to pay
the interest on this sum. The payment of the principal of these
bonds at the end of 20 years is guaranteed by the Virginia
Company. The contract also binds the lessees to build the road
to MooresviUe in three years.
The Richmond & Danville Com¬
pany own a controlling interest in the Virginia Midland, and
control by lease the road from Charlotte to Statesville. Mooresville is on this road, between Statesville and Charlotte, and the
completion of the road from Danville to MooresviUe will £ive
the Richmond & Danville another line through North Carolina.
The road is

of $174,378; expenses, $117,881; net receipts, $56,596y interest on

$39,642. The usual semi-annual
cent was paid on the first of January last;
$25,000 of the old 8 per cent bonds, maturing on the first of
April last, were paid off. No dividend was paid on the first of
July last, and the earnings were used in repairing and roofing
the James River bridge. This structure was burned the 26th of
last March, and the present trestle bridge, nearly three-fourths
of a mile long, was ready for use two months after. Credit is
given to Mr. J. R. Kenly, the Superintendent, formerly of the
Union Railroad, Baltimore, for the prompt manner in which the
work was done. The direct loss to the company from the fire
was about $60,000.

Whatever the truth may

be in the

it is hardly avoid¬
companies engaged in
the railroad war should be charged with being short of their
own stocks.
The possibilities of the thing are too great; the
opportunity of making a quick turn by precipitating a cut in
rates is too enticing for human integrity
always to resist it.
And then it is rarely that the
public can ascertain just
who is the real party at fault in the
controversy. The spec¬
tacle of a railroad officer or director heavily
short of the stock
of his own company is not an agreeable one to
contemplate.
He is then in a position where all his personal interests urge
him to decry and put down, by one means or
another, the
value of that very property of which he is the avowed
trustee and protector.
But in a railroad quarrel it is possible
for any one line to make a cut in rates which the others must
follow, and hence the mere fact of being in such a light does
not imply a responsibility for it on the part of all those en¬
able that

These negotiations have resulted in a contract by which this
company will secure, east and west, tlie entire product of the
collieries of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, and by which it
can

probably

secure

the transportation of ’a large amount of;'

other coal from the same region, provided the Delaware &
Hudson Canal Company will unite in a similar contract.
The Blossburg Coal Company was represented by a capital of

$1,000,000 ; but subsequent to its organization, in addition to
its own property, it liad acquired largely of the property of

other coal and railroad

companies. The property of the com¬
pany is situated in the State of Pennsylvania, about fifty miles
south of the New York Lake Erie & Western Railroad, con¬
nected therewith at Elmira by its own road, and at Corning by

thirty miles of its own road, in connection with fifteen miles
which it trackage rights.
After considerable negotiation,
the stock of this company was purchased for $2,000,000.
Of
this amount $1,285,000 was paid in cash and the Grand Opera
House property was put in at a valuation of $715,000. By this|
purchase they take the ownership and control of about sixty-six
land Columbus Cincinnati & Indianapolis Railway Company miles of railroad and of about
2S,000 acres of coal lands, which

{For the

ending Sept 30, 1882.)

year

The report of this railroad has just been received. The Pres¬
ident states that the equipment has been fully kept
up and the
road maintained in first-class condition,
many improvements

having been made during the

year,

including the building of

nine miles of new side track, etc. The net balance for the
year, as
will be seen by the tables below, was $37,921 less than in the pre¬

ceding year, which is more than accounted for by the increased
expenditures for steel rails, ties, taxes and personal injuries,
amounting to $114,875 more than in the preceding year. The
tables below, compiled in the usual form for the
Chronicle,
give a complete resume of the company’s operations and finan¬
cial condition.

Northern Pacific. - The great sale of lands by this company
is said to have been completed. The English capitalists are to

take 3,000,000 acres of land east of the Missouri River, and pay
for it in preferred stock at par. The price of the land is $4 per

that $12,000,000 of the preferred stock will be retired,
paid in to the company’s treasury. The whole amount of
l^ads owned by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company east of
the Missouri River is 3,350,000 acres, and the purchasing syndi¬
cate i?ave the right to select their land from them.
The syndi¬
cate if composed of Bariug Brothers, of London; Lee,Higginson & Co\. of Boston; M. Endicott, of Boston, and other promi¬
acre, so
or

nent capitalists of Boston, New York and London. The pre¬
ferred Btocxt on July 1, 1882, was about $42,000,000, and this
Bale would retire #12,000,000. The syndicate will desire to se¬
cure the dividend already declared on the preferred stock,
which amounts to H 1*10 per cent in scrip, to stockholders of Dejwtiobt* 9, and |t is understood their contract with the gv’.mpany

have resolved to

first mortgage bonds of the Buffalo & Pittsburg Division, upon the con¬
ditions following: That holders of more than three-fourtlis of the in¬

quite wintry. Inland navigation at
and West has been obstructed to some extent by ice,
and sufficient snow has fallen to impede railroad transportation.
The money market has become much easier, but is still fever¬
ishly unsettled. The intervention of a close holiday has had
its usual effect upon general trade, and business has been quiet.
The “ corners” in cotton, Indian corn and lard, for November
delivery, did not cause serious disturbance of the\aluesof
those staples, and these influences are now at an end. The
Federal Congress meets on Monday, when it is expected that
measures for the reduction of taxation will be proposed.
A good speculation in lard has taken place, arid manipula¬
tion here and at Chicago has forced prices up until the close,
when a break took place.
A selling movement was introduced
which, in a measure, was stimulated by large arrivals of hogs
at the West.
The export demands for all provisions are nota¬
bly small. Pork on the spot to-day sold at $19 for new mess;
December options quoted $19 50; January $19 75. Bacon was
quoted at lCc. for long clear. Lard to-day opened better, but

Rio coffee has been dull

on

the spot at a decline to 7Mc. for

fair; options have beeij very active, and to-day alone 27,000

bags were sold, though at a marked decline, owing partly to
the reduction of the export duty from Brazil, partly to a deuline in both Rio and London, and partly to the large receipts
at the former market; December (No. 7) last sold at 5'45c., Jan¬
uary and February at 5 40c., March at 5*45c., April at 5'50c.,
May at 5‘70c. and June at 5'85c., while fair sold at 7*20e. for
January, 7'35c. for February and 7*40c. for March; mild has
been dull and more or less depressed, owing to the slowness of
trade and the large supply here. Rice has been moderately
active at unchanged prices. New Orleans molasses has been
selling at 40@59c. to a fair extent in jobbing lots, while foreign
has been dull. Fruits and spices have been quiet and without
marked change. Raw sugar has been dull and nominal at 7%@
7 3-16c. for fair; refined has been quiet at some decline; crushed
has sold at 9}£e.f grauulated at 8 13-16@9c. and standard “A”
ai 8 7-16@834c.
The trade in sugar here is being much injured
by an unusually active competition from New Orleans for the
Mississippi River business, in which that city is greatly assisted
by the lower freight rates granted to refiners there, who also
sell at New York prices.

Kentucky tobacco has been quiet and prices are nominally
Seedleaf has been quiet, except for old crop

have declined, and the absence of export interest exerts an un¬
favorable influence on prices. Spirits turpentine is now quoted
at 50/£@51c. asked, with sales on the wharf at 50c. Common

speculation in cotton for future delivery has been fairly
active the past week, but at variable prices, and the tone some
what unsettled. The opening on Saturday last was dealer, on
a fresh movement toward a “corner” on November contracts,
which carried up deliveries for the month to 10*58c. and
strengthened the whole market. But on Monday a slight fur¬
ther advance was followed by depression, and on Tuesday
November declined to 10‘41c., with the whole market lower.
On Wednesday there was a further and material decline, De¬
cember going nearly down to the lowest figure of the season.
There has been some buying on Southern orders on each de¬
cline, “following the market down,” as the phrase is; neverthe¬
less the close on Wednesday was at the lowest figures of the
day.' Yesterday was a close holiday, and the Exchange was
closed. To-day there was a variable market, closing slightly
dearer. Cotton on the spot declined l-16c. on Tuesday and
again on Wednesday. The demand has been small, whether
for export or home consumption.
In fact, we have no stock
to attract buyers.
To-day the market was quiet and un¬
changed.

Comparative Port Receipts and Daily Crop Movement.—
A comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate
as the weeks in dilferent years do not end on the same
day of
the month.
We have consequently added to our other
standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader
may

constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative

movement for the years named.
The movement each month
since September 1, 1882, has been as follows

BREADSTUFF S.
Friday, P. M.. December 1, 1882.

Flour has advanced for the lower

grades, for which a fair de¬
prevailed, while the supply, though ample, has been
by no means burdensome. It is noticeable that the proportion
of the higher grades in the receipts is much larger than has
been the case for some years, this fact being due to improve¬
ments in the methods of manufacture.
The scarcity of ocean
freight room and the high rates current have interfered with
xport trade. The higher grades have been plentiful, duli and
rather weak. To- day the market was dull for all grades.
Wheat has been rather quiet as a rule, the export trade
being quite moderate most of the time, owing to the continued
scarcity of ocean freight room, as well as some further ad¬
vance in the rates;
while the transactions in options have
likewise been limited to a moderate aggregate. There are
comparatively few grain vessels in port, and so scarce is room
in the regular ocean steamers that outside steamers are being
mand has

the berth.

Quite a number of grain vessels to arrive
at Philadelphia and Baltimore have already been chartered,
but few or none have been thus engaged at this port. Prices
showed some advance at one time, largely owing to a rise in
Chicago, where the receipts have been moderate, but latterly
the course of this market has been downward, notwithstand¬
