the commercial world generally a more confident tone is
apparent. There are still numerous complaints of want of

distinctly more favorable than those recently published. The
gain in the exports amounts to the satisfactory total of £1,105,442, principally in yams and textile fabrics, but metals and

last year is now only £516,194. The imports show an increase

£148,000, and the reserve has increased £394,997, the propor.

in Congress of the Inter-State Commerce
considered favorable, inasmuch as it gives time for the
probable effects of the bill to be more carefully considered, and

The enormous volume of the retail Christmas trade in New
York this year has probably never been equaled, and although
this is one degree removed from the business of the Exchanges
and the wholesale houses, still it is an indication of no small
importance that the past year has been a prosperous one, and
that the pocket of the p/iter /amilias is generally pretty well
lined with money or rather that it waj so lined before the
Christmas season commenced.
The open market rates lor call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2 to 8 per cent,
the usual rate to stockbrokers being 5@3 per cent ; to-day
the rates were 4@5 per cent.
Prime commercial paper is
quoted at 6®6i per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a loss in specie of £78i,000, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 40 3 16, against 43i last week; the discount
rate remains unchanged at 5 per cent.
The Bank of France lost
18,250,000 francs in gold and gained 1,650,000 francs in silver.

The annual report of this railroad has just been issued, and
Mississippi
owing to the interest which attaches to the financial affairs of
the company' the President's report is published at length on a
subsequent page.
It is remarked that the report of previous years has been
misleading in some respects, since the general expenses and
taxes have not been included in operating expenses, thereby
making the net earnings appear larger than they really were.
Thus in 1884-5 the net earnings appeared as $153,413, when
the taxes and general expenses were $37,571 and the true net
earnings $125,843, leaving a deficit for that year of $33,557
after payment of interest. Adding the item of taxes and
general expenses in each year, the gross and net earnings the
past two years were as follows

was not charged up in the balance sheet of September 30,
1885), and including the coupon due on said bonds OoLober 1,
^^^^^ latter is properly chargeable to the fiscal year
^S^'
188*6, amounts to fl97,480, although the actual interfst accmioK on your outstanding bonds for twelve months, is but
$158,400. Tn is increased charge of $39,080 in the present
year is occasioned by the fact tbat it is has heretofore been the
custom of the company not to charge up the October coupon
until after the accounts for the year were closed, notwith8tandini{ thatth'' interest rep-esent«J by said coupon had fully
accrued on S.-ptember 80; where^ns it is now determined to
amend this custom and charge said coupon in the year during
which the interest actually accrues, thereby presenting a more
correct showing of the company's financial status at the close
of the fiscal year. Hence the year 1885-6 is charged with both
the coupons of October 1, 1885, and October 1, 1886.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the year's earnings
show o d'-Z/c/emyc/ *100,123 25of the amount necessary to
meet its operating expenses and accruing interest.
By reference to your Treasurer's report, it is seen that your

In this connection, it is proper to oil attention to the fact
that it has been necessary, for several years past, to borrow
money to meet the requirements of the company for coupon
interest, et<'., which loans have been repaid out of subsequent
earnings. For ezaoiple, at the close of the fiscal year 1884-5,
the deficit of availat'le assets was $81,416 37, and it became
BeceHary to borrow $15,000 cash, and to issue notes in payment
for material fumishel, to the amount of $o2,466 93. At the
close of the year 1883 4, the deficit of available assets was
$90,704 77, and the company borrowed $40,000. So also at the
oloae of the year 1882-3 it was necessary to borrow .f 75,000 to
meet interest and other accrued obligations. Your board has
hoped by careful economy, to overcome these deficits, and to
place your pro()erty in thoroughly sound financial coniJition.
But unfortunately the opening of competitive lines of railway, the gradual but steady tendency to lower rates, the
action of the Mississippi Railroad Commission in reducing
?'our pafsenger tariff an average of nine (9) per cent and your
reight tariff an average of eighteen (18) per cent, the imperative necessitv of re-laying the greater portion of your line
with steel rail*, of purchasing additional mo'ive power, and
reducing the heavier grades, in order to enable the company
to handle iis traflSc with safety and reasonable economy,
together wiih the payment of the high rate of interest on
your bonds, have combined to prevent the realization of that
hope, and the d. Ucit has increated rather than diminished.
Haling been ai yet unable to repay the sums borrowed to m- et the inu rest maturing July 1, 1880, and to purchaM nececssry materials and supplies for the maintenance
and preset vat ion of >our property, the board has not deemed
It wfae to strain the comp»n\ « credit i-till furtlier by attempting to borrow ninney to pay the coupon due Oct. 1, 1886.
Accordingly we have beea compelled to ask the bondholders
to permit us to defer the payment of said coupon. In this
connecilOD it may be well to call at ention to the fact that
the two class* B of binds (series "A" and " B') are covered
by one and the same mortgage, and that while series " A" is
preferred to the extent of priority in the payment of principal and intereet, it will not be possible for the compiny to
keep alive the bonds of that Series to the exclusion of
eriea " B.'

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.
Friday Nioht, Dec. 24, 1886.
The story of trade in holiday week has in it nothing new
and we have only to repeat that regular business has been
sluggish, and that speculation has generally been characterized
by a disposition to close accounts for a time this has unfavorably affected values, even when there were no decidedly adverse influences at work.
An effort to bring the tariff up for
;
review was made in the lower House of Congress this week,
but failed; yet the agitation of the subject continues, with
little prospect, however, of immediate results.
The recent
stringency in the money market has completely disippeared.
Strikes have occurred again among railway operatives, but
there seems to be no apprehension that serious inconvenience
will be caused by them.
Lard for future delivery showed much strength, with a fair
degree of speculative activity for the first half of the week
under review, but on Wednesday and Thursday there was
slight depression, the result, it was said, of manipulation by
the packing interest, to affect the value of swine at interior
points. To-day the speculation was fairly active and th^ close
slightly dearer. T.ard on the spot has been dull and drooping,
but to-day was fairly active and rather firmer at O'SOct for

meet with considerable attention. Flannels and blanket!
were quiet And steady in price, and there was a light demand
for shawls, skirts, wool hosiery, and heavy shirts and drawers,
but carpets were fairly active in some quarters, because of
the prevailing low prices.
Foreign Dry Goods have ruled quiet in first hands, and
the jobbing trade was light and irregular. Dress goods,
silks, velvets and plushes were severally in light request, but
a fair business was done in certain in a kes of hosiery, white
goods and embroideries. For men's-wear woolens there wa»
some inquiry by the jobbing and fine tailoring trade, but;
transactions averaged light. Prices of foreign goods remain
steady, and wool dress goods in particular are very firm at
all-wool
