point to the many failures, low wages, lack of work, and
-Dow prices for wheat, kc., as very discouraging and even
hopeless circumstances. Fo far as enforced idleness is
concerned, it is a hard experience for those suffering it,
and calls loudly for the sympathy of all, as well as aid from
those better situated; yet in an industrial way, it is but a
temporary expedient, attendant upon every time of depres¬
sion and quickly cured on a change for the better in the
demand for goods.
Never before in our history was there

derful as that which began with 1879.
As to low-priced
wheat, that harms the farmer to an extent, but he is ben
efited by the low wages and cheaper goods that the loss in
wages permits ; while the multitude who have food to buy
find the purchasing power of their incomes increased by
this very decline which the farmer suffers from.
These
familiar

it not that the circumstances mentioned are being so
widely and loudly proclaimed as insuperable hindrances
to recovery.
They are nothing of the kind, being, with

In the line of favorable circumstan ces, it should not be for¬
gotten—and especially by those who base so much that is
discouraging on the low price of wheat—that during late
weeks cotton has been netting somewhat higher values than
a
year ago, and as we sell to foreign countries about two
thirds of that crop, the higher price has a certain import¬
ance
in this discussion.
Then another circumstance not to
be overlooked is the
improvement which is taking place in
railroad earnings.
During the two weeks of December, so
far as reported, they show better than anticipated.
Jt is
of
course
to be
remembered that December

smaller figures.
But even when

comparing now with
that fact is given its
proper weight, the latest statements show well.
Besides,
there continues to be a fair business doing in almost all
branches of trade, a decided improvement on the conditions
of six weeks ago. Many br. nclies of manufacture report im.
provement and ilie feeling everywhere is a decidedly more
hopeful one. Furthermore, the World's Fair in New
Orleans ought to give at least a temporary impulse to in¬
dustries, especially in the South. With all these signs of
promise, with capital abundant, and knowing that there is
natural tendency in the direction of a full
recovery from commercial depression, it seems but reason¬
able to expect a speedy revival of business unless our cur.
rency arrangements prevent it.
As already stated, the course of the stock market has
been decidedly downwards, though more or less of strength
was
developed on Thursday, and yesterday some recovery in
prices took place. The selling movement in Lacka-.
wanna and
the other coal shares was accompanied by
that the arrangements for a combination of the
rumors
coal operators next year, on the allotment plan, were not
satisfactory to some of the New York companies. These
reports were followed by a statement that in bidding for
supplies for the Elevated railroads the Lehigh Valiev had
offered coal far below tho_ schedule price.
This was
promptly denied by the officers of that company. Then
came a rumor
that an attempt would be made by the
bituminous operators to combine for the purpose of forcing
their product into the anthracite markets ; and also that
iron manufacturers were demanding that the price of
anthracite be reduced so that they might compete with
Southern and Western foundries. But on Thursday it was
announced that the Beading had notified the New York
companies of its readiness to agree to the allotment plan,
on the basis of 80 million tons, and at a
meeting yesterday
of representatives of the different companies progress
towards an arrangement of that kind was reported.
With regard to the stocks of the Granger roads they
were unfavorably
influenced by reports that the farmers
in the West were generally uniting in efforts to induce the
railroad comnvssioners or the legislatures of their States
to force a reduction or an equalization of the tariff on
grain. One of the Chicago -papers^ devoted much space
early in the week to reports from various sections reciting
the complaints of farmers, and editorially demanded that
concessions be made by the railroads.
These publications
doubtless influenced Western holders of the Granger
stocks to some extent and induced them to sell, while others
deterred from purchasing the
were for the same reason
properties. Western Union was affected by the formation
by the telegraph operators of a brotherhood for the pur¬
pose of resisting regulations adopted for the government
of the force, more particularly with reference to extra work,
and that stock sympathized with the movement in other
stocks.
The Eastern passenger rate war has ceased to have
any direct influence upon the Vanderbilt stocks,but an attack
was made upon Lake Shore, accompanied by the report
that the dividend had been passed, whereas the directors
have not yet met to act upon this question, though the
belief is quite general that it will not be paid.

that the new management is carrying out. It is
claimed that as a result of the reduction of expenses, an
increased amount of net income can confidently be counted
on.
We presume that this is intended to refer to the
showing for coming months, rather than to the exhibit for
the months recently passed, for the company has this week
issued its statement of gross and net earnings for
October—the first month of the current fiscal year—
which does not make a favorable comparison with the
figures of a year ago.
There is a loss in gross earn,
ings in the large sum of $4 72,000 and in net in the
sum of $208,000.
In addition, there is a decrease of
$7,000 in the profit derived from operating the Pennsyl¬
vania & Ohio leased line—October being a favorable
period on this line and therefore showing a profit to the
Erie rather than a loss as in many other months of the
year—and this makes the total falling oil' in net income
$215,520. As a partial explanation of this large decrease,
it may be said that we are comparing with an exception¬
ally good October in the previous year, and that if we
compared with either 1S82 or 1S81 the showing would be
much more satisfactory.
To illustrate this point, we have
brought together the October figures for live years.
The comparison of earnings relates to the Erie proper, but

.owing to the demoralization of rates
and the intense competition for business, the Erie
may be
said to have done quite well.
Central Pacific has attracted some attention the last few
days by reason of its position in the trans-continental
pool. It appears that the managers of the Western lines
had perfected a schedule of rates on California business
from Eastern points, and expected to have no
difficulty in
getting the Eastern Trunk lines to confirm it. Put on
submitting the schedule they found that the trunk lines
had
an
old
score
to
'settle with
the
Central
Pacific and
would
not agree to the action of the
Western roads unless
the Central Pacific consented to
pool the business from
hew York, both rail and water, and
accept a certain fixed
percentage of the same, to be determined by arbitra¬
tion.
'Idle difficulty is that the Central Pacific has
been taking a
large proportion of this business, via
Xew Orleans and Galveston,
using steamer lines between
hew York and those points and its own rail route for
the remainder of the
distance; and the trunk lines claim
that the company has made such reductions in rates that
shippers in the interior of New York and Pennsylvania
have foum l it to their
advantage to ship their
goods to
hew York by rail and
thence over the Central Pacific
Wer-and-rail route to San Francisco, rather than directly
west over the
Eastern trunk lines.

week, Mr. Huntington stated that there was no like¬
lihood of any war, that the
difficulty was simply a little
friction between the roads, and this was confirmed
appar¬
ently on Thursday, when a temporary arrangement was
effected by which the life of the trans-continental
pool,
which would have expired
January 1, was extended to
January 31, it being understood that the new rates were
to be adopted with the
beginning of the year, and the
Central Pacific to try to bring about an
adjustment of its
dispute with the trunk lines in the interval before the
next meeting—January 12.
Though the Central Pacific is taking away a good deal
of through business from the trunk
systems, the road is nev¬
ertheless still losing heavily in income as
compared with
other recent years.
The company yesterday issued its
exhibit for the month of October, and both in
gross and
net it is about the worst of the
year, there being only one

decrease
was

()f course,
in addition to
general business depression, sharp competi¬
through business produced by the opening of new
lines, and the low prices for wheat—in California, the same
as in the East—influences that have all
along been at work,
there was in ()ctober the special cause of election excite¬
ment, which retarded business very materially, as is known.
Put it is not so difficult to understand
earnings as it is

These latter, notwithstanding a heavy decrease
in earnings, actually show an increase, and the
consequence
is that the loss in net is even greater than in

It is so easy to apply cause and effect to any two

But it is by no means a fact. Our

prevent a decline in business, it is certainly within their
power—and their province too—to keep the proprietors
fully informed as to the state of business, and thus enable
each according to his own best judgment to decide what
disposition to make of his holdings.
Mr. Adams presents, first of all, an exhibit of the opera¬
tions for the quarter ended September 30,—the first three
months under his management,—which is quite interestingThe earnings and expenses are the same as those furnished
in the monthly statements—that is, they give us the same
result—but the important items of sinking funds, gov•ernment requirement, &c., are of course new.
After
allowing in full for all charges and taxes, there is a sur¬
plus of income on the quarters operations of $1,002,398,
equivalent to 2-6 per cent on the company’s stock of $60,868,500. And this apparently is independent of any in¬
come from sales of Kansas Pacific
lands, which has always
heretofore figured in income accounts.
There is a pur¬
pose in this exclusion of land income, to which we shall
allude further below.
But taking the surplus just as
given—$1,602,398—we find that it compares with
$1,472,84 0 in the corresponding period a year ago, made
up on the same basis, an increase of $129,558.
This in•crease is
particularly gratifying that it occurs notwith¬
standing heavier charges this year and in the face of
•declining gross receipts.
It is therefore wholly economy
in operations that has
brought about the improved result. Gross earnings in
the quarter fell off $532,306, but net
earnings actually
increased $165,139, owing to the large reduction of $697,445 in expenses.
If a similar ratio of reduction can be
effected in future months, the promise of the road would
certainly appear to be very hopeful, even if earnings
should continue to fall off, as in past months,
though the
company has now its Oregon Short Line in full opera¬
tion and should
get considerable
business in that
way.
If it be deemed that the reduction thus

compatible with keep¬
ing the road in good condition and full repair, it is to be
said that the present decrease occurs after an even heavier
increase in the previous year, augmented expenses contem¬
poraneously with diminished receipts having been the
•characteristic of that year.
In other words, in the matter
of expenses the road would seem
merely to have been put
back to the basis of 1882.
As to the 2*6 per cent remain¬

in each of the other three quarters is out of the

Though the present statement is only up to the end of

and expenses for October, one month later, and with the
above analysis of the charges, we can determine how much

$1,474,013 in 1883, the improved showing being, as in
previous months, the result of a very heavy reduction of
expenses.
Allowing for $810,638 charges against the
$1,484,677 net earnings, and we have remaining a surplus
of $674,000, equivalent to over 1
per cent on the stock of
the company.
Hence in the four months to the end of
October, constituting, however, the best period of the year,
the road earned nearly 3f per cent on its stock.
This

AVith regard to the income from without the

connection with the New York West Shore & Buffalo Railroad.
Our various freight lines, running in connection with the three
roads named, are becoming well end favorably known, and are
sure to secure to us a proper share of the traffic.
We have lines
of Pullman cars, with new and first-class equipment, running
*.
Buffalo, Chicago and St. Louis through the West Shore
Railroad, and to Chicago by the Eiie. These lines are increas¬
ing in popularity, and we are happy to report that our pros¬
pects for the maintenance of an efficient through route be¬
tween the East and the West are far better than at any time
in the previous history of the road.
Notwithstanding the
embarrassments under which we have labored, the volume of
our business has largel)’’ increased ; and but for the unfortunate
war in rates, which has waged for a large part of the year just
closed, we should have shown much more favorable results.”

may be satisfied at or before maturity, also the furided coupons
on same, amounting to $657,100, so the $147,426 of annual
interest now being paid on these mortgages and funded cou¬
pons, capitalized at 3*65 per cent, would produce $4,039,068,
from which deducting $2,457,100, principal of mortgages and
funded coupons, and $339,481, the difference between sinking
fund and accrued and unpaid interest on second mortgage,
there would be left, after satisfying mortgages, &c., with
money borrowed at 3*65 per cent, a balance of $1,242,484 as
additional capital without any increase in the amount of inter¬
paid.
Assuming that $1,750,000 will be required for a second
track, Baltimore to Hagerstown, or say $507,516 in addition
to the gain of $1,242,484 from capitalizing the interest now
paid at 3*65 per cent, then if this $507,516 can also be obtained
at 3*65 per cent, provision will have been made for the addi¬
tional track at an annual cost to the company of but $18,524.
Now’, as the road is virtually the property of the city, and
as the city can readily borrow the desired amount at 3‘65 per
cent, it is believed that it will be wise and judicious for it to
place the company in funds to satisfy these mortgages, and to
pay over to the company, as the work progresses, $1,242,484,
the gain from capitalization.” * * * “ Should these mortgages
be satisfied, and the second track provided for as suggested, a
new’ mortgage should
be made in favor of the city for
$4,546,584, made up of the following amounts : First, $2,457,100, principal of the first three mortgages and funded coupons;
second, $1,212,484, the difference in capitalizing the present
interest thereon ($147,426) at 6 and at 3‘65 per cent, less
$339,484; third, $507,516, the proposed new 3’65 per cent loan:
fourth, $339,484, the accrued and unpaid interest on second
mortgage, less sinking fund. With steel rails under $30 per
ton, and other supplies and labor at equally low prices, the
present would seem to be a most favorable time for doing this

The report says : “It is a cause of congratulation that the
day seems at hand in which the five feet gauges of the various
Southern roads will be changed to four feet eight and a half
inches, so as to-make a uniform gauge throughout the United
States.
This alteration, together with change of rolling stock,
will require, it is estimated, an outlay of about fifty thousand
dollars. It is important, as this sum w’ill be required in cash,
that it should be accumulated from the earnings and be set
aside for the emergency. There is no similar amount this com¬
pany could be called upon to invest from which it

The total increase in the
expenses for betterments was $17,079.
The track and machinery have not only been fully main¬
tained during the year, but have been very greatly improved.
The steel track was extended across the mountain and through
Washington County to within one mile of Hagerstown, the
distance covered being about
miles ; a number of iron
bridges were substituted for wood.
The report says : “Notwithstanding the general depression
in business which lias existed throughout the year, the falling
off in the traffic of nearly every railroad in the country, and
the fact that the earnings of the year with which comparison
is made were $114,015 in excess of any previous year, the
Western Maryland has not only held its own, but has slightly
increased both its gross and net earnings, which it is believed
augurs well for the results which must attend its operations

favorable conditions.
“
On account of the steady increase in business and in the
number of trains required for its accommodation, which is
much greater than would be necessary upon other roads with
lighter grades, it is generally felt by all who have given the
matter attention that a second track upon the Western Mary¬
land is fast becoming a prime necessity for efficient and satis¬
factory operation."’ *
*

How this can be accomplished is not apparent at first sight.
It so happens, however, that the present mortgages were
created w hen a higher rate of interest was current than at
present; also, that the first three mortgages of $600,000 each

GENERAL INVESTMENT NEWS.
Buffalo New York & Philadelphia.—The President has
issued a circular to stockholders of this company in which he
says:
“The financial condition of your conipauy compelled the management
to issue its circular dated July 30, 1881, askiug the holders of its junior
securities to accept a reduction of interest for three years, beginning
August 1,1834, on the bonds which they held. The circular (copy
enclosed) set forth fully .the condition of your company; and the fund¬
ing proposition therein made to the bondholders has been generally
accepted. In order to further relieve the financial pressure it became
necessary to extend the payment of principal due on car trusts, which
extension has been practically arranged. The iloating debt of your
company lias not materially changed since the circular of July 30, aud
is about $1,500,000, which has been carried over but must bo paid on
or before February 1, 1885.
If it is provided for, the company will suc¬
ceed. If not provided for, disaster may occur. To raise this money
and save the property intact, as also to insure its future, the manage¬
ment urgently requests that the stockholders, as a measure of self pro¬
tection, subscribe and pay $2 50 pe r share on account of their holdings,
to help liquidate the floating debt.
In consideration of such payments
they will receive general mortgage bonds of the company at par.
Upon payment of tlieir subscriptions their certificates of stock will be
stamped ‘ Assenting Stock,’ and quoted as such. It is understood that
the majority of the bondholders will assent to an equitable representa¬
tion for assenting stockholders in any new company which may be
formed, should there be any failure or foreclosure from auy cause here¬
after. The increase in value of stock will doubtless repay the subscrip¬
tion.
“The share capital of the company amounts, in round numbers, to
$20,000,000, live per cent of which, or $2 50 per share, is about $1,000,000. The holders of the general mortgage bonds now outstanding have
accepted the funding plan, and the bonds which it Is now proposed to
sell to the stockholders will come under the same arrangement, placing
the assenting stockholders upon equal terms as bondholders. The
Union terminal bonds which the company own will be made available
in settling the balance of floating debt.”

Mr. Adams recommends that the proceeds of Kansas Pacific
land sales be applied as a sinking fund to the purchase and
retirement of the Kansas Pacific consolidated mortgage bonds,
instead of to the payment of interest on those bonds. He says
that “the Executive Committee have therefore caused a suit¬
able supplementary contract to be prepared.
Should it
receive the approval of the directors, it will practically con¬
vert the bonds issued under the C insolidated Kansas Pacific
mortgage into land grant sinking fund bonds: and as therenow remain some four million acres of the Kansas Pacific land

the
first half of the week under review, a good deal of activity
and excitement, attended by a marked advance in prices.
There was some improvement on Saturday, owing to the
fact that Liverpool yielded less than had been anticipted it
would do in sympathy with our decline, and from the effect of
the heavy failure at Vienna; and on Monday a movement
having the appearance of an effort to “corner" early deliv¬
eries, with January the objective month, caused an irregular
advance, followed on Tuesday by an excited and buoyant mar¬
ket. Wednesday was variable, closing lower under sales to
realize.
Thursday was variable and unsettled, closing slightly
lower. To-day there was a renewal of speculative activity
and buoyancy. The “bull” party again talked of a small crop
and reduced stocks, and the buying for the rise extended to
the distant months.
As compared with last Friday, there is
an advance of 20^29 points.
The falling off in the receipts
at the ports this week has been largely due to less arrivals at
Galveston. Cotton on the spot has continued quiet, with quo¬
tations for the most part nominal.
Figures were on Monday
reduced l-16c., followed by advances of }%c. on Tuesday and
l-16c. on Monday.
Yesterday there was a decline of l-16c.
To-day there was a fresh advance of 1-lGc., middling up¬

following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
.veek from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
chan 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 include overland receipts
or Southern consumption; 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 outports.

THE
1884.]
CHRONICLE.
Cotton Exchange.—Hitherto all persons
21
of age, resident or non-resident, of good character and
commercial standing, were eligible for election as members of
the Cotton Exchange.
This rule lias been changed so far as
to substitute the word “financial” for the word “commercial,”
and the change has been confirmed by a vote of 56 ayes against
11 nays.
Section 29. page 35, of the laws of the Exchange, provides
that if complaint be made by not less than three members of
the Exchange, either jointly or severally, against a member
for any misconduct in relation to the Exchange, or for any
disreputable
fraudulent transaction with any person not a
member of the Exchange, the Supervisory Committee shall
investigate the charges, and if substantiated shall so report to
the Board of Managers.
In pursuance of a complaint thus made, The Supervisory
Committee has been engaged for several days in examining
into the particulars of a charge against John M. Ewen, a
member of the Exchange, and partner of Ewen Brothers,
with regard to alleged irregularities in dealings in future
deliveries for account of Mrs. Laura Hough. However, the
or
documents relative to the matter are said to be so voluminous
that the Committee has not as yet been able to arrive at a
decision.
The result of the investigation, as well as the eon-
sequent action of the Board of Managers, is looked for With
much interest by the members.
It is reported that beside this
particular case before the Board of Supervisors, other women
speculators through Ewen Brothers have come forward with
similar complaints, but the above-mentioned matter of Mrs.
Hough is tiie only
one
before said Board.

heavy stocks complained of last spring and summer are sold ; our fac¬ direction, for each of the last four weeks; also the total exports
tories are refusing big orders ahead, and yet some people don’t seem to
and directions since September 1, 1881, and iti the last colu mn
know that tin* tide has turned and that good tiinrs are coming. ‘Cotton
goods are following the raw cotton,’ said a prominent factory president the total for the same period of the previous year.
Tuesday morning, ‘and prices arc advancing in response to the active
demand and because of the low price of goods maintained all summer
auil until now.’ A meeting of factory presidents was held on the 8th in¬
stant, comprising Mr. Ilickmuu, of the Graniteville Factory; Mr. Sib ey,
of the Sibley As Langley Mills;Mr. Phiuizy, of the Augusta Factory,
and Mr. Fate's, of the King Mdl, and it was unanimously determined to
advance the pi ices of goods one quart *r to a half cent, and the prices <m
live-hale lots mow range about as follows: 4-4 sheetinsr, 54ic.; 7-8
sheeting, 4 tic.; 3-1 shirting, 33ac.; dribs, 6c. and 6!4e. to G^j a
One of
our mills had already advanced its prices and sold its goods at these
on
figures, and all of the mill prv-idents have now instructed their agents
price of goods. All the mills re¬
port that they are bare of goods, aud they are running on full time to
£ry and keep up with rlie demand.
“President H. II. Iliekman of the Graniteville Manufacturing Co.,
said the demand for cotton goods growing out of the low prices had
been so extraordinary that the over-supply at the mills had been
here and in New York to advance the
exhausted.
He thought it probable a farther advance would be made
in ten days. Advices have been received, Mr. Hickman continued,
from the Boston agent of one, of our mills to the effect that he was going
to New York this week to advise the agents there to place Southern goods
at 4,5 and G cents, or *4 of a cent more than the advance agreed upon by
us. He said the competition from Northern goods would riot, prevent these
figures, and he thought those mills in the South that led off with low
prices had enough of it. I would not he surprised if the prices sug¬
gested are adopted in New York this week. These facts mean, said Afr.
Hickman, that cotton will be scarce and high in the South, and not only
will the present prices be maintained, but there will be other advances.
Mr. C. H. Phinizy of the Augusta Factory, said: ‘For the first time in
twelve months I believe the outlook promises better fines.
I have not
thought so all along, but I believe now a brighter era is opening up
“
ahead of us.’ ”
Jute
Butts, Bagging, &c.—There has been a good demand
bagging since our last, and parcels are moving quite freely.
Price3 are steadily maintained, and sellers are not accepting
anything below our quotations, preferring to hold their stocks.
There have been sales of 1,000 rolls various grades at fcFqc. for
lb., Oj.^c. f°r 1 4 Ifi 10c. for 2 lb. and UFqc. for standard
grades. The market for butts has been mo lerately active,
though mostly for parcels to arrive, and there have been sales
of some 8,000 bales, mostly paper grades, though a few lots of
bagging qualities are reported. For spit parcels sellers are
quoting l oo. for paper, and 2 L $*3}£c. for bagging, grades.

Rye has remained dull, but for barley the demand has
improved, and the bulk of the stock in store is held for higher
prices, checking business at the moment.
Oats have shown an increase of speculative interest, with
prices on an upward scale, while the regular trade has been
very good.
To-day mixed further improved, but white were
no dearer, and the close was quiet at

exports of domestics com¬
pared unfavorably with the preceding week, only 890 pack¬
ages having been shipped from this port, which were distrib¬
uted as follows: Chili 188, Great Britain 11G, Mexico 107, Uru¬
guay 92, Hamburg 90, &c.
The general demand at first
hands was comparatively small, but a fair business was done
in brown sheetings and drills, with jobbers, exporters and
converters, and prices are firmer, some brands of Southern
sheetings and drills having been advanced ]^q. per yard.
Bleached gcods were in fair, though lessened demand, and
prices of leading makes, as Wamsutta, New York Mills, &c.,
were advanced to 10t£c., while low and medium grades are
more firmly
held. Cottonades were more sought for by
Southern and Southwestern jobbers, but denims, tickings,
cheviots and other colored cottons, were mostly quiet, as were
cotton flannels and corset jeans.
Print cloths were in mod¬
erate demand and a trifle easier, closing at 3 3-lGc. plu3 1 per
cent for 64x64
“contracts,’’ and 2 13 16c. for 56xC0s. Frints
in
were
irregular demand at first hands, but mostly quiet, and
there was a very fair business in ginghams, seersuckers,
chambrays, lawns, piques and white goods for January
