change has taken place in the value of wheat
during the week. The trade closes with a somewhat steadier
appearance, but with no activity. We may expect the trade to
rule quiet during the remainder of the year. The following

com, 234,000 quarters. The weather is remarkably mild, and
;
green food is very abundant. The consumption of bread is,
therefore, below the average, and there is some probability
that, owing in some measure to the mildness of the season, and
to the delay in closing Black Sea and Baltic ports, our stocks
of produce at the close of the year will show a decided increase
compared with the last return. The weather has been very
favorable for autumn sowing, but colder weather is desirable
in order to keep vegetation in check.
During the week ended Nov. 26, the sales of home-grown
wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to 52,490 quarters, against 46,010 quarters last year
and 38,580 quarters in 1879; while it is computed that they
were in the whole kingdom 210,000 quarters, against 264,000
quarters and 154,320 quarters. Since harvest the sales in
the
150 principal markets have been 636,061 quarters, against 569,-

good demand during the week, and the
open market rates of discount show a moderate improvement,
the quotation for three months' bank bills being i% to 4^ per
cent. Gold continues in demand for export, but the supply
held by the Bank of England has increased, owing to the return
of coin from provincial circulation. The position of the Bank
in
an improving one, the proportion of reserve to liabilities
39^ per cent. That ratio, however, of assets to liabilities does not by any means justify a lower rate of discount
than five per cent, and it fully accounts for the increased
firmness of the open money market. The Board of Trad*
returns issued this week confirm the general belief in an improved condition of our commerce. Our export trade in November was very satisfactory, and the tctal for the eleven months
compares very favorably with last year. Our home trade has
also improved, and has been more active than for some years
past.
The year has also been fruitul in new undertakings, and
these have caused money to move about somewhat freely
during the year. Business is still believed to be very sound,
though profits are said to be small, and the present interest
rate is calculated to keep injudicious speculation in check.

wanted. Some are of opinion that there will be a decline in
the Bank quotation early in 1882. but the probability seems to
be against such an expectation, as a year of activity is very
generally looked forward to.
The present year is closing
with many indications of life, and during the past week
several new schemes have been introduced to public notice.
The more important is a new railway share trust company
with a capital of £6,000,000, which has lor its object the purchase of sound British railway shares to the extent of the support afforded to the committee by the public. Many schemes
of this description have been introduced of late years, and
they have met with a fair measure of success. The present
undertaking is expected to be well supported, though the
public are not so enthusiastic respecting an equalization of
interest as they were. Many investors prefer to lay out their
surplus capital in the same manner as is proposed by these
trust companies, but they do not care to entrust to others what

inaugurating the trust have speculated largely upon it, and
such a course as that can scarcely pnimote confidence. The
control of so large an

of capital as
some of these trust
undertakings obtain gives an enormous advantage to the few,
but a large section of the public appreciate the idea, and diffl-

There has been a little more animation in the trade for wheat
week, but the amount of business in progress has been far
from extensive. Prices have not materially varied. The
weather has been \ery mild until to-day, and there are now
some indications of winter. The quantity of wheat afloat to

and bonds.
break of importance occurred on Friday la.st, 16th
inst., in Denver & Rio Grande stock, and it has since been reported that Mr. Jay Gould made a raid against the stock for the
pnqxjso of buying it. However this may be, it is certain that
the rumor of difHcnlty in regard to the payments of the subBcriptions to the Mexican National
Construction Company
(Palmer & Sullivan road) was used to depress the Rio Grande
stock. This company is building from Laredo on the Rio Grande
to Mexico City, under a concession from the Mexican Government; and almost cotemporaneously with these reports of diflicnlty in collecting the subscriptions to their stock, appeared the
circular of Mr. Gould, as President of the Missouri Pacific Railway, calling for subscriptions to the stock of the new con.struction company to build " The Mexican Oriental Interoceanio &
International Railroad," to cover the same main route as the
Palmer-Sulliran road from Laredo to Mexico City.
It is worthy of notice that this little shaking up which has
taken place in the stock market began with these reports of
backwardue.ss on the part of subscribers to a construction company in coming forward with their money. The consequences
suggested by this action, or non-action, may have a more genet al
bearing on the financial situation than at first appears. The
construction companies now occupy a most prominent place on
the financial horizon, and many of them have been profitable
beyond all ordinary limits. It is plain, however, that before the
enterprises undertaken can reach a point where they make earnings, the support to their liecurities must come entirely from the
confidence of holders in their ultimate success. It is necessarily a
case where faith precedes works, and if faith at any time should
become weak and a number of holders, however foolishly, begin
to doubt the wisdom of their subscriptions and "lie down" on
them, as the Wall Street saying is, it ia impossible to say how
much harm they might do.
The money market has again been stringent for stock-borrowers, while the supply offering on government bonds has been
larger than before, and some of the dealers have actually taken
money in large blocks at 3@3}6 per cent. On ordinary stock
collaterals the rate for money has osnally been C®ti per cent,
with commissions frequently paid of 1-16 of 1 per cent; but today 6 was the highest rate. Prime commercial paper is quoted
at 6@D>6 per cent.
The Hank of England on Thursday showed a loss for the week
of £41,500 in specie, and the percentage of reserve to liabilities
was 38^, against 3d% last weeek. The discount rate remains at
The Rank of France during the week gained
6 per cent.
4,300,000 francs in gold and loet 700,000 francs in silver.
The last statement of the New York City Clearing-Honse
banks, is-sued Dee. 17, showed a decrease of J690,775 in the
deficiency below the legal limit., the whole deficiency being
$271,200, against $961.97!) the previous week.

The Money Miirkct nnd Fiiciticial SItnntion. There ba.s
beeo more excitement thi.s week at the Stock Exchange than in
any previous week for some months pa-st. The decliutj in prices
has) been considerable, but at no time has there been anythin<^ like
a panic in etock.s, and the aapport given to the market in these
periods of weakness confirms the opinion we have so frequently
expressed, that a large majority of the heaviest operators are
greatly interested in preventing any such decline in prices a.s
would break public confidence and put a check on the distribunew

State and Knilrond nond.s. The hnslneiit
;j inds haa
been compiratively limited as the transactions in the 8to<;k market have absorbed much attention. The Tennessee bond case ia
to come up for hearing at Nashville on January 17.
Railroad br)nds have generally been easier, particatarly tha
lower cla.ss bonds of those companies wh'.se stocks have weakened in the recent flurry. If the market doeii not speedilj
r<>cover, it may offer buyers for cash a good opportunity to purchase bonds for investment. *
Railroad and Hisrcllflneoas Stocks.— Tbe stock market has
been pretty thoroughly shaken up, and a considerable amoant
of stock held on slender margins has been thrown overboard. A
reference to the Denver & Rio Grande is made above, bat th«
precise nature of the contest between Mr. Gould and the Rio
Grande parties, and the Palmer-Sullivan syndicate*, is not yet
known. Next to Rio Grande the Wabash sto<;kH have been for
some time among the weakest of the list, and the Iwlief is prettr
general that the company's heavy liabilities for road.^ puroliaiM
and leased are pressing on it rather severely. Whether Mr.
Gould has been a large seller, does not appear, but it is strongly
suspected that he has been within the pa.it few months, "nia
annual statements of the Vanderbilt roads were published to:
day, and the loss of net earnings, owing to the disastrous effects
of the war in rates, is unexpectedly heavy.
With each decline of 2(93 per c»nt, the market has generally
met with a strong support from large buyers, and at the close
there was a sharj) rally in prices.
The following is a statement of the operations of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company for the

gain of 24'3 per cent. The impaired and inadequate condition
of its equipment at the time of its transfer has rendered its
working expense a large one for tl^ time being, which, however, is being gradually remedied. The betterments required
under the contract have been fully made for the current year,
this company being well indemnified, therefore, in the valuable
securities, amounting to about $260,000, transferred to this

" In accordance with authority conferred by the stockholders
at their meetings in December and October last, the board of
directors have caused subscriptions to the capital stock of the
above-named company to be made on behalf of this company
to the aggregate amount of $1,510,000, that being a majority
of the whole capital as at present authorized. Under the
action and direction of the board these subscriptions have been
paid and proper certificates delivered therefor. The Terminal
Company, by recent purchase of the controlling stock of the
Virginia Midland Railway Company, has secured the direction
of that important line, which brings it into satisfactory
co-operation with your main lines South, thus developing an
all-rail line of reduced mileage to Alexandria and Washington,
and thence north to all points reached by the extensive systems
of railway emanating from those points. This removes etfectuallj the only material cause of apprehended conflict with your
principal interests, and supplies a needed auxiliary line of great
positive strejigth, offering connections and a new traffic both
important and inviting. Under recent action of the board of
directors of the Terminal Company an option to take $750,000
of 6 per cent income bonds of the Virginia Midland Railroad
Company, with $325,000 of its common stock, has been offered
to this company, being its proportion of the same with other
•tockholders of the Terminal Company."
" Through the agency of the Terminal Company the connected and auxiliary lines now constituting important and
Taluable portions of your general system are being successfully
completed and improved, and brought into harmonious and useful relations with your main lines."
" In July last the board of directors, as authorized by law,
entered into a contract for the lease of the Richmond York
River & Chesapeake Railroad, extending from Richmond to
West Point, upon the terms and stipulations set forth in the
copy herewith submitted for the information and action of
the stockholders. Under this contract this C(jmpany acquires
also a controlling ownership of the steamship lines between
West Point and Baltimore, and between Richmond & Baltimore

condition, and regarded as a valuable and productive prop^

(For the year ending Septeinher
30, 1881.)
This important trunk line has much the largest earnings of
any railroad in New England. The annual report for the year
ending f'eptember 30 shows a considerable increase in traffic
and an increase in gross earnings, but a decrease in net earnings, owing to the lower rates for freight and passengers.
The
President's report says:
"
The increase in number of tons of freight and passengers
moved one mile over last year is 13 09-100 per cent, while the
gain in receipts is but 1 05-100 per cent. This greatly-increased volume of traffic has not been carried without large
additions to the expense account. The increase of gross
expenses during the year is $439,911, or 8 4-10 per cent, and is
owing in part to the extremely severe weather of the past

" It will be noticed that th8 receipts for freight have fallen
off about $200,000, while the tonnage has increased 283,000.
The loss in receipts is partly owing to the fierce competition

competition between the existing lines, during which both pa.ssenger and freight rates were reduced to the minimum, and
after frequent and prolonged conferences on the subject, we
are pleased to report that in January last an agreement was
entered into by all the lines between New York and Boston,
under which the rates were restored to a fair and equitable
basis, with, as we believe, equal advantage to the lines and to
the public. At the same time a special agreement was made
between the Stonington and the Fall River lines for a division
of the through pa.ssenger business accruing to both, which is

of capital represented, and the following brief account has
been obtained from brokers who deal more or less in these
stocks, Mr. A. E. Hachfield, of 17 Nassau Street, having furnished to the Chronicle many of the facts here staled. From
the difficulty of obtaining official information, it is evident that

would esteem it a favor if any of the Chronicle readers would
inform them promptly of errors coming under their notice.

Dallas & Wichita.— At the annual meeting in Dallas, Tex.,
December 16, it was resolved to transfer the road to the Missouri Kansas & Texas Company, and to authorize the issue of
bonds at the rate of $20,000 per mile, to provide for all the
present debt and for the extension of the road. It is in operation from Dallas to Denton, 39 miles.
Denver & Rio Grande.— The Gunnison News reports that
" every mile of the main line of the Denver & Rio Grande from
Gunnison through to Salt Lake Cit}' is now under contract; and
the camps of the contractors are strung alongthe route like
beads on a string. The main object of the company now is to
get this line to Salt Lake finished by the time the Chicago
Burlington & Quinoy road reaches Denver, which will be some
time in August or September next, and every energy is being
bent to the consummation of that purpose. The road will then
have a direct eastern and western outlet over the C. B. & Q. and
the Central Pacific. So important is this move considered by
the officers of the company that they have decided to suspend
all work on the various branches of the road until it is accomplished. The grading from Salt Lake City this way is nearly
completed to the Colorado line, and the track-layers are laying
the rails as fast as they can be procured."
Grand Ilapids & Indiana.— This road is to be extended
northward from its present terminui, Petoskey, to the Straits
of Mackinac. The contract for the extension has been let to L.
A. Ro.se, of Bronson, and McDonald Brothers, of Grand liapids.
The terms of the contract are that the road is to be completed

Judge Blatchford rendered a decision Wednesday in the
United States Circuit Court, in the suit of George S. Fl»gg
and others against the three elevated railway companies for a
preliminary injunction against carrying out the tripartite
agreement. The injunction was refused, and Judge Blatchford
said in his opinion:
" The prlnoi|)al Krounds nrired In support of the motion am that the
»)?roemcnt of Oct. 22 impairs vested rliifits of stockholders of the Metropolitan; tliat oacli stockholder has for liimself sinli vested rights, and
that tlioso rights cannot bo Impaired as to him without bin consent. It
is urged that after the Metropolitan lease was executed there was no property left to it upon which anything in the naturoot a dividcnd-payinu
stock conld bo based, except the revenun to be derived from the tenns
of the lease; that the value of the capital stock consisteil wliollv in such
revenue; that the $Iti2.!S00to be paid quarterly to the Metropolitan was
the only prolit which inveatore in tlie stock could hope to realizo from
their investment; that tbo stock is stock of a special cliararter, eiititied
to au dRfCcd portion of a rental to ho paid by the Manhattan ; that tlio
agreement of the Manhattan is truly expressea in tlio inemoranduni on
the ('crtitii'ates; that by ttio wliotc transaction tho Mrtroiuilltan nKrces
to distribute such portion of tlie rental as a dividend atntm;; its stockholricrs; that the Metropolitan, therefore, cannot surrender tlio nuarantrc
of the Manliattaii; tliatsuchf;iiaraiitee must berenanieJ as a promise to
the Metropolitan for the tieneflt of its stoeklioldcrs. ami that they are
entitled to prevent the .Metropolitan from diverting the fund or impalrlog the contract out of which the ri);ht to it comes.
" It is undoubtedly true that tho oliject of tho provisions of tho lease
in regard to the 10 per cent per anuum on $6,500,000 to be paid by tho
Manhattan to the Metropolttnu was to enable the hto<*klintderH f>f tho
Metro]K>Utan to liave. if possililo. d:ii-ing tlie continuance of the lease, a
quarterly dividend of ii** per cent on their stock. Hut I fall t<» see any
contract to that cfTect lietween the Mantiittan and tlie jndivlduai Htoeklioldcrs of the Metropolitan, or between eiicli stockholders and tho
Metropolitan Company. There is no ak-reemcnt. either by the Manhattan
or the .Metropolitan, that these sums shall be paid to tlie stockhulrlers of
the Metropolitan. The cjisc, therefore, is not one of any vested rlRhta in
tbe stoekliolderg of tlie Metropolitan to the 10 per cent Iiaymeiits. Imt It
depends upon the eoueral jiowor of tlie directors of a coriioratiou to
make and modify its contracts. That power is well c^talillahed In this
Btate. No statute or authority is referred to whi.'h makes it necessary
to the validity of tlie axreementa of Oct. 22 that they should have been
approTed by an.v one or more stockholders. Tlie biases of tho tripartite
agreement and the .aitreeincnt of Oct. 22 were made iindir tlio authority
oftheactsof Aiiril 23, 1839. There is nothina to imiieaeh the validity
of that statute. Tho instrument-* referred to are contracts liy tho Manhattan and by tlie other companies for the use by the former of tho roids
of tho latter, on terms satisfactory to each of the latter, as delenuiuod
by the votes of their lioards of directors. The evidence satisfactorily
•hows that the roacis of tho Metropolitan Company were not earning
anouRli net money over expenses, rejiairs and taxes to pay tho interest
on its inorttcaKo bonds, and that tiie New York (Jompany'i road was
earninK at least |icr rent net and enoUKh more to make reasonable tho
over tho Metropolitan O'liiiinny in tho new
arrangement. By that arrangement the claims of tho .Vfanhattan Comjpany for the $13,000,000 are released. But whatever conclusion now a
udlcial li'ibunal,wonlil coino to on proofs as to whether the now arrauKcment was a wise and proper one for tho Metropolitan Company to make.
It Is Bufflcient to siiy that in tho evidence aa presented as to what was
before tho directors of the .Metropolian Company and as to fhelrnction.
they had the rieht, and thought In cood faith tliat they were dointf what
was most judicious for their atuukhuiders, aud they did what they did in
good
faith.
It is claimed that
a flctitions neoeesltr was created and tbat the
stockboldors of tho Manhattan would have como forward to extricate it
from Its diiliculties. I pee no evidence of this. The .directors of tho
Metroiiiditan Comoany had this question before them ncoessarUy, and
passed uihhi it and acted In view of it.

Sfexicnn Niitional.— In conoecHon with the decline in Dsnvor & Uio Grande stock on Saturday. 19th last., it was rumored
that there was some delay In the payment of subscriptiona
made to the stock of tho Mexican National Railway Company,
which is controlled to some extent by the Denver & Rio Grand*
parties. The New York Sun reportetl the following facta la
regard to this rumor.
"The fact that Mexican
National Railway subseriptiona
declined to 16 discount and Mexican National Railway consfruction stock was offered at 13 discount and 20 discount bid
gave strength to the rumor. Tho two are on-^ enterprisa,
which is practically an eiten.sion of the Denver & Rio Oranda
Railway from Laredo, on the Rio Grande, to the City of Mexico,
and from there westward to Manzanillo, on the Pacific Coaat,
and Vera Craz, on the Gulf. The Mexican National lUilwa/
Company was organized about a year ago under the aasplcea
of the capitalists most largely interested in the Denver & Rio
Grande Railway. Its capital stock was fixed at 17,600,000, and
bonds for a like amount were to be issued. Every Babscribat
of $1,050 in cash, to be paid in installments as called for, waa
to receive $1,000 in stock and a bond of $1,000. The eonatmetion company was formed for the p'lrpoae of building the roadL
Its capital was $a,000,000, of whicb $1,000,000 was commoa
stock, and was issned to Messrs. Palmer and Sullivan for the
conces-sion from the Mexican Government bearing their names.
Gen. William J. Palmfr is President of the Denver ft Bio
Grande Company, and be and Mr. Sullivan eonstitnte one of
the largest railroad-building firms iu the United States. Tha
other $4,000,000 was preferred stock, to be fnlly paid and
entitled to a dividend of 7 per cent before an^ shonld be paid
on the common stock. There bare been eight instalmentn
of 10 per cent each called en both the snbseriptioaa
to the railway company and to the eonstmction companx.
These instalments amount as follows : Oo the railway company about $6,000,0(X), and on the construction company
t3,200,000, a total of $9,200,000. As the .securities of both haTa
sold at a discount almost from the inception of the enterpriaa,
the instalments have not been paid promptly. It is nnderstood
that the arrears of the instalments due the eonstmction company amount to $850,000, while those due the railway company
amount to about $800,000. It was reported several days ago
that suits had been instituted to reco^ er these arrears of instalments. Oflicers of the company deny that this is the ease, bat
say that notices have been sent to the subscribers reqaeatlng
•
•
•
them to pay up."
"For the $8,000,000 of instalments paid in, the Mexieaa
National has forty miles of completed road running soath from
Laredo about 150 miles (graded from Mexico City north on tha
main line; the road from Corpus Christi to Laredo, a narrnwguage road of about ItSO miles, purchased for the pnrpoaa of
transporting material for constructioa; the grading of a naall
fiortion of the line between Mexico City and Hanianillo, aad ».
arge quantity of supplies and materials and some roUiag atoek.
"At the Windsor Hotel last evening it waa aagratad that »
large operator interested in the enterprise meattoaed had li*>

Domestic C>tto» Ooodo.—There was a comparatively light
bnsineia in cotton goods, and the main featarea of the
market
are unchanged. Some fair ordew for white goods, piques,
&c were placed with agenU (for future deand considerable aalea of clothing ducks and denims
quilts, ikirtings,
livery),
,
were made to maniafactnrew; bat otherwise the demand for
plain and colored cottons was strictly moderate, buyen having
paused in their operations because of the near approach of the
"stock-taking" period. Prices, however, are firm and without
quotable change. Print cloths were in moderate demand and
steady at 4c. less a small discount for 64ie4 "spots" and
3 7-lO03.^c. for SGiGOs. There was a fair movem.ent in shirting
print*, but other printed calicoes ruled quiet, and cotton dresa
goods were neglected. Staple ginghams met with fair sales, and
some orders were placed for dress ginghams, although agents
are not yet prepared to show their new spring styles.
Domestic VToolem Goods.—There was a steady movement in
spring cassimeres, suitings and worsted coatings in execution of
back orders, but the amount of new business in these fabri •
was strictly moderate. Heavy cassimeres were mostly quiet
but fair sales of both all-wool and cotton-warp makes were
made
in eic-eptional cases.
Stocks of men's-wear woolens (both
and heavy) are very well in hand, and values are firmly
maintained as a rule. Cloakings were generally quiet, and
there was a small business in satinets and Kentucky jeans. For
flannvls and blankets the demand was chiefly of a hand-tomouth chaiacter, and such was the case with worsted dress
goods, shawls, skirts, hosiery and knit underwear. Carpets
were mostly quiet, but firm at the late advance.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.

December 23. 1««1
The dry goods trade has been veiy quiet the past week, but
not more so than is asaally wiMies.sed at this advanced period
of the season. There were very few package bayers in the
market, and the mildness of the weather has had a depressing
effect npon the jobbing trade as reflected in the limited
demand for heavy winter goods. Manafactarers' agents repre
senting such spring fabrics as shirting prmts, white goods,
plain and printed piques, dres-s ginghams, &c., have, however,
