the year, when business is invariably more or less interrupted,

well into the new year. Favorable reports of improving trade
are still not wanting, although they have not so far resulted
in any material gain to the welfare of the manufacturing districts.
More animation is noticed in the produce m irkets, but
this possibly is in tome measure attributable to holiday
requirements, and the question of its being sustained has yet
to be decided.
Beyond an extension of the demand for
money, accompanied by a quotable enhancement of discount
quotations, nothing has transpired during the week to suggest
that any real change for the better has taken place in trade.
The Board of Trade returns for November repeat the
familiar dolorous features of contraction on contraction, and
are as hopelessly unpromising as the immediately preceding
publications. Still, sanguine news as to the future are entertained in many quarters, and, if only the improvement reported in America be borne out, will probably be realized.

The sudden death of Mr. Vftodarbilt nAtoraUy orMttod conuntil the close of the year. The feature of the Bank of England's weekly return is the decrease of £1,017,141 in other siderable excitement in the American ntilwk/ market. Th«

evidence of improving trade, for which we turn in vain to
the reilway traffics, Bankers' Clearing House returns and the
official returns of the Board of Trade.
The present totol is
only £378,000 larger than a year ago, and we miy infer that
balances are at length being brought within more manageable
limits.
The reserve has gained on the week £80,497, and the
proportion to liabilities stands at 45-9, against 44-63 per cent
last week.
The loss in bullion is only £346,338, notwithstanding that upon balance £410,000 was exported. The reserve ia

evidently becoming anxious, and if on the one hand the publie do not come in to relieve them of their stock, or on th«
other the market be well supported from New York, it ia not
improbable that some trouble may ensue.

THE CHRONICLE.

A
quiet business has been passing in the grain trade during
the week. There has been no particular feature. Wheat is
rather steadier, and without being actually higher has certainly been better held. The sharp change in the weather has
•zercised a strengthening influence upon the market, but has
not resulted in any display of animation. Dealings still retain
their hand-to-mouth character and it is hardly likely that any
particular change will occur during the closing days of the
year. The imports into the United Kingdom are still liberal
and above the average of this time last year. America is
sending us much less than last year, but from Russia and the
Continental ports, British India and Australasia, grain is coming forward much more freely, so much so that the aggregate importations from all ports for November were about 50

per cent more than in November, 1884.

passage remain liberal, and stocks here must have been aug-

mented, badly supplied markets are hardly probable under
existing conditions. Farmers' deliveries have not been large of
late, the weather having been unfavorable for threshing and
the elections also having in some measure interfered with

was better than in the preceding, but the average for the
season is still Is. 3d. per quarter lower than in 1884, A closer
assimilation may, no doubt, soon be noticed, but it will be as
much due to the growing weakness in values which
occurred at this time last year as to any advance which may
immediately take place.

close of the year, when everything is at a turning point. While

at much length, in comparison with the corresponding figures
for three previous years. The details of operating expenses
are not obtainable till the pamphlet report is issued. The
annual statistics of the New York Central are always interesting, but they are rendered still more so this year by the
events attending the famous West Shore Railroad war, arid
also by the circumstance that certain changes of detail in
bookkeeping demand that a closer inspection should be given
to the figures. The result of the railroad war is briefly told in
the following statement

This reduction was heavy and caused a severe loss in net in
come, notwithstanding the remarkable fact that in the year
1884r-5, which was one of such notable depression, the freighttonnage was larger than in the previous year, and the
passenger mileage was the largest ever made.
As to the methods of bookkeeping, it will be noticed that
the deficit of the year is placed at $953,8-11, but this does not
include the dividend paid Oct. 15, 1884, which, added to the
other item, makes the total cash deficit of the year $3,295,072,
and this is the amount actually charged oil the profit surplus
on the previous year's balance shfet, Sept. 30, 1884. In the
detailed items of floating liabilities it will also be noticed that
the dividend payable in October is this year included in the
statement, but last year it was not so included, and the whole
statement of floating debt on Sept. 30, compares as follows in
the three years 1885, 1884 and 1883 :

Grand Trunk of Canada— Termont Central.—The Grand
Trunk bought last summer $457,000 of Central Vermont stock,
or just one-half of the whole amount, and the two roads
entered into a 30 years' contract for joint operation as to
passenger and freight rates, through trains, &c. thereby making practically a consolidated line between Bellows Falls and
White River Junction on the east and Detroit and Chicago on
the west. The price paid for the stock is not known, but it is
understood that the arrangement was made to settle traffic
balances that had accumulated in favor of the Grand Trunk.

Our readers to-day another letter from our Alexandria corre-
spondent.
Alexandria, Dec.
Messrs.
Wm.
K,
Dana

1,
1883.
Co.
8IR.S I have intentionally delayed writing you in order to give a more
precise view of the eimatlon.
There is no longer any self-deception possible; since the disastrons fogs tho temperature has steadily
:
remained cold, and thefow promising grabots whioh it was hoped would
develop and open have, on the contrary, been blighted. The result Is
that the dcticit is much greater than the tlgure generally admitted in
the beginning.
To-day there are veiry tew people who believe that we shall secure a
yield in excess of 3,000,000 of cantars there are, on the contrary, many
%vho say that we shall not reach the 3,000,000 of cantars. And yet,
after all, even that is an average good harvest, though certainly a
gievt fall from the extreme estimates current in August.
Tho prefent season in Egypt shows once for all the value of premature
estimates ht re, even If based upou facts, a!»d will teach foreign coun
tiles in the future to appreciate! them at their true worth.
As already stated in one of my former letters, the other articles, wheat
and barley, have completely f.iiled tuis season, so that even for local
coiisumpti<m Esypt his been obliged to import from foreign countries.
We ha\e had 20,000 ardebs of wheat from Syria and about 10,000
ardebs of barley from Odessa, Kussia, up to this time, which have
been readily disposed of at good prices.
Beans have succeeded pretty well—that is to say, there is an average
good harvest.
Maize, the harvest of which has Just begun, has gucceeded very well
this season, and shippers count on an important tlgure for exportation;
this, however, will not begin before next January.

wheat for future delivery has been quite
active, but under heavy selling by the bear party a further
decline in prices must be recorded. Foreign advices have
been unfavorable, and the accumulations of supplies
continue excessive. These conditions, with an almost total
suspension of the export movement, have promoted the belief
that a lower range of prices must be accepted. But on Wednesday afternoon there was some recovery from the morning
prices, on reports that the weather at the West had become
uch as to threaten injury to the fall-sown crop, and on indications that the supplies to Western Europe from Russia and
the East Indies must be greatly reduced at once and for a considerable period. Wheat on the spot has been very dull, witb
prices unsettled and nominal. Neither shippers nor home
millers were buyers, except for small and irregular parcels.

and
For overcoatings there was a
liglit ress^orting demand, and
selections of satinets averaged small. K- ntucky jeans continued quiet and stealy in price. Ladico* cloths, tricots and
cloakings were sluggish, but very fair orders were placed for
light-weight Jersey cloths for next seison, and a moderate
business was done in spring and summer dress goods, in which
both all-wool and worsted fabrics participated.
FoREiax Dky Good5 were generally quiet in importing
and the jobbing trade was strictly moderate. The
recent advance in raw silk has imparted a somewhat firmer
tone to silk goods, but prices have not responded as yet. Dress
goods were quiet, and transactions in men's-wear woolens
were mainly confined to making deliveries on account of former orders. Embroideries, laces, lace cut tains and other
holiday goods were less active, but some pretty good orders
were placed for spring hosiery and gloves.
