THE CENTAL SYSTEM.
would appear that experience has developed certain difficulties in the working of the cental system which were not
foreseen by the merchants, or which, if foreseen, were not
deemed of importance while yet only in prospect. It was expected that the new system would be in full working order on
the first day of October last. Such was the recommendation of
the New York Produce Exchange to the different trade organizations throughout the States. It was found, however, that
some of the Western trade organizations could not fall into
and it was, in consequence, agreed that joint and
line in time
decisive action be deferred until the first day of January, 1880.
Meantime, although not compulsory under the rules of the
Exchange, the new system has come into practical operation in
New York and, as we said above, experience has developed
certain difficulties which, in the opinion of eome dealers, render
the change undesirable. The opponents are all, or almost all,
connected with the grain trade. It is to be remarked here
that few, if any, are opposed to the cental system in itself considered. What they claim is that its introduction at present is
inopportune, and that until Congress shall pass a law enforcing
it generally throughout the country, its enforcement here is
ruinous to their interests, It is claimed that in some of the
It
is, to the members of the grain trade, it has been
developed by experience, and mainly because they feel that
they are acting alone, without either the sympathy or the
co-operation of other kindred societies. This, however, is not
all.
The new system does not find favor with outside dealers,

times and everywhere else it is the bushel." Business is, therefore, conducted under all the inconveniences of a double system.
Although the members of the grain trade are almost a unit
in their opposition to the new system, they are in a minority in
the Exchange and their irritation is all the greater that they
have been voted down by petroleum dealers, grocers, and others,
to whom the new system brings really very little change. The
meeting which was held on Saturday last by the members of
the grain trade, and at which a report of a special committee
of that body was read, denouncing the cental system, is not
likely to lead to any practical result, as it was informal; but it
leaves us in no uncertainty as to the feelings of the grain dealers.
We have no doubt at all that the cental system, if properly
introduced all over the country, would be a benefit. We have
as little doubt that a vigorous example is all that is necessary
to ensure success, and that if New York will only persevere she
will soon be followed by all the other leading Exchanges.
Willing, however, as we would be to see the cental system
generally adopted, we should regret to see it introduced and
maintained at the cost of breaking up the peace and harmony
of the various interests represented in the Produce Exchange of

State and Railroad Bonds. There is no better feeling in
regard to financial matters in Virginia or Louisiana. In South
Carolina it is understood that the consolidated bonds held to be
valid by the Supreme Court will be exchanged for new bonds,
and the interest will be paid on them in cash the coming year
this throws out about $1,000,000 of tho consolidated bonds. The
House of Representatives has passed a bill to admit the deferred
claims upon the District of Columbia to the amount of $1,100,000 for payment in the 3-05 bonds. This fills out the original
;
maximum
of $15,000,000.
Railroad bonds are without new feature, and are firmly held
for all the investment bonds.
The speculatives have been dealt
In to a moderate extent, without much fluctuation in prices.

Railroad and miscellaneous stock*. The stock market
has been dull, with prices tolerablv steady. The feeling in the
market is generally strong, so far as the future of the market is
concerned after the first ten days of January, but as to the intermediate time there is some apprehension of a tight money market which may depress prices.
The Bank surplus reserve is low,
and the last statement showed it to be about $7,000,000 telow the
year,
corresponding week last
so that the temporary withdrawal of
funds for the payment of interest and dividends on the first of
January should naturally make a very close market during next
week. It has often occurred, however, that the prices of stocks
have been stubbornly upheld during a period of temporary
stringency in money, and after the pressure was over prices fell

situation, as the year draws to a close, is characterized by
a steady and confident tone in the markets, with a moderate
volume of business. There is little inclination to load up with
stocks at this period, in view of the close working of the money
market and the prospect that money will be comparatively scarce
until after the first week of January
and even those parties
who profess to believe in a " January rise," are reluctant to
purchase just now, and seem to prefer the risk of being obliged
to pay two or three per cent more for their stocks if they wait
till a few weeks later.

may be next year, it is well for our readers to renumber that

the year ending Sept. 30, 1879.)
The complete annual report of this company for the fiscal
year ending Sept. 30, has just been issued, and the statement
of operations is presented below in comparison with two previous
years. This road, like New York Central & Hudson, shows a
slight decrease in net earnings as compared with 1877-8, and
the key to the situation is found in the low freight rates which
prevailed. The freight carried, as compared with 1878, shows
an increase of 28 per cent, while the increase in the earnings
therefrom was but 2 7-10 per cent. The ratio of expenses to
earnings increased from 68 per cent in 1878 to 70 per cent in
1879. The cost per ton per mile for moving freight was but
56-100 of a cent, being less than ever before known in the
history of the road. Notwithstanding the fact that the road
did a largely increased business, the gross earnings were but
slightly augmented. These remarks apply, says president
Jewett, to the general freight business of the company. " But
the carrying of coal is so large an item in our transportation
that the disorganization in that business, and the extremely
low rates at which we had to handle it, operated very unfavorably upon our earnings, and was one of the leading factors in
producing the results of the year." The gross earnings, operating expenses and net earnings of the road, branches, and
leased lines, were as follows in the past three years:

term of forty years, reducing the rate of interest to & per cent
per annum, which proposition has been acceded to by holders
to the extent of $2,109,000.
It is anticipated that the few
outstanding will accept the same arrangement, in which
event the reduction in interest will amount to $43,480 per
annum. Such holders as do not assent to the proposed extension will be paid the principal of their bonds, and to that extent
the lien of this mortgage will be reduced.
The total funded debt, as now ascertained, (npon the supposition that the entire issue of the second mortgage bonds will be
extended) is shown in the tables of the Investors' Supplement
of December 27.

"There have been laid sixty-five additional miles of second

Jersey City to Burns, a distance of 339% miles. Forty additional miles of track will be speedily laid, and with this done,
the road will be entirely double tracked from Jersey City to
Buffalo, with the exception of seven miles on the Buffalo Division, the grading for which will be completed and the track
laid early in the spring."

"The agreement with the Car Trust of New York and others
for equipment, provides that the title to the cars vests in the
respective companies until the final payment. The amount
which has been paid on this account up to September 30, 1879,
is $160,645.
In addition to the cars which have been heretofore purchased through the agency of the Car Trust, arrangements have been made to purchase 3,000 additional cars, they
being greatly needed to accommodate the constantly increasing
demands of the traffic of the road.
" The wisdom of owning our equipment and of procuring
it through the medium of the Car Trust is amply vindicated
by the important fact that although we have had the benefit of
these cars for but a comparatively short period, yet the debit
balance against us on account of car mileage due to other
companies has been greatly reduced, and this reduction will
continue in the ratio in which we further add to the nnmber
af our own car equipment. The saving in this particular item
of mileage will go largely toward paying for the cars pur-

company, awarding about $2,600,000 as due from
the Pennsylvania Railroad, lessee. The latter company will
probably appeal from the decision to the U. S. Supreme Court.

the Columbus Chicago & Indiana Central Company was for the
amount of the guaranteed rental from January 1, 1875, to
December 31, 1879, which, with the net earnings paid over to
the company during that period being deducted, amounts to
$3,212,367. The Pennsylvania Railroad claimed tbe folbwlng

THE CHRONICLE.
27, 1S79.|
Of course the majority of the trade
think receipts are going to fall off now very rapidly. In fao t
that has been the prevailing opinion for two months. If they
do, the foregoing will be a convenient total from which to make
'-deductions. In considering the future movement however, it
•would not be wise to ignore the Bayou or River region in the
Southwest. The Fall has been a splendid one for carting long
'distances, and we have no doubt that all the planters that could
reach a railroad, have done so. But if our information is correct, the yield in that section has been remarkably satisfactory,
and there is a very considerable amount to come out when
the rivers rise. Late advices show higher water, and some por•
tion and perhaps a large portion— may arrive at the ports the
friends to figure upon.

Plasters' Estimates of the Crop. In an article on the Cotton
Exchange Reports, two weeks since, we expressed the opinion
we have often expressed before, that obtaining percentages of
increased or decreased yield in the fall, was a very defective
method
-
of determining the extent of the crop, even granting
the planters intended in each case to state the exact truth.
The New Orleans Picayune takes exception to that statement.
We have not room to add anything, to what we said before on
the subject, in reply to the Picayune, but introduce the matter
again because we have just received a letter from a Georgia
friend (a sample only of what we frequently receive), which
illustrates the inaccuracy of such estimates. This friend writes,
under date of December 23 "I wrote you that my overseer
" was here a month ago. He had then gathered forty-nine
" bales and thought he would get four or five more. He ha s
" since delivered six and will have ten."
Consumption in Europe. It seems to be very difficult to determine in times of speculative excitement like the present what are
:
—
the real facts as to consumption, With high prices for breadand short crops all over Europe and especially in Great
Britain, and with silver rapidly declining, how it is possible for
Europe to consume increased supplies of cotton at high prices
we cannot understand. That there has been, however, increased
activity with English spinners during November is certainly
true, for Mr. Ellison raises their consumption for the 4 weeks
ending Dec. 1 to 60,000 bales (of 400 lbs. per bale) per week
from 50,000 bales of the same weight the previous month. He
states, however (and perhaps that accounts for the whole increase), that " a large part of the business has been exceptional,
" anticipatory and speculative. Purchases for Germany have
" been temporarily increased in order to escape the new duties^
" which come into operation on the first of January, while
" buyers for other markets have given out large orders in antic" ipation of a further rise in the price of cotton." In the same
connection the following, cut from the Liverpool Post of December 10 and December 11, may help our readers to understand
the situation.
Manchester, Tuesday Evening. Producers find themselves
again compelled to raise rates in harmony with the sustained
upward movement in Liverpool, but in nearly all directions
with the exception, perhaps, of same special makes of printing
cloth and some descriptions of home trade yarns the advance
is nominal only, and prices often show a disparity of no less than
5 per cent between sellers and buyers. Yarns are fully %d. per
lb. dearer to buy than on Friday.
It is not followed by cloth here,
ttill less by cloth or yarn abroad, where prices are declining, owing
to overwhelming importations, while the exchanges are falling.
In short, goods are almost as much below to-day's Manchester
cost price in some Eastern markets as cotton is cheaper in
Liverpool than in New York. This is obviously a position
which calls for prudence on the part of all concerned, and merchants here are holding aloof carefully.
Manchester, Wednesday Evening. A quieter tone pervades
the market to-day, as the advance of cotton seems to pause.
There is even less buying than there was. All the leading
staple departments are more or less stagnant, and even some
very cheap lots of goods (comparatively so to cost) are neglected by buyers. Re-sales of yarns are being offered, and also
some of cloth. There is nothing from abroad to stimulate the
market, and the general appearance is that a firm check has
been given to the upward movement, which has at no time

was stimulated by the resumption of full time at Oldham, by
exceptional activity in Manchester, and by stimulating advices
from New York. Middling Upland advanced to u 15-ltkl. on the
spot and to 7d. for distant delivery. These prices led to reflection.
The demand fell off, and between the 14th and 17th
there was a decline of 3-10d. to Vfd. per pound. The fall led to
an improved inquiry, and a recovery of %d. on the spot and
7-32d. to 5-16d. in futures between the 17th and 27th. During
the interval there had been several fluctuations of 1-lSd. to %fi.
in futures, but a very small decline always brought out buyers.
The main support of the market was the large business
going on in Manchester and the continued liberal operations of
spinners both on the spot and for forward delivery. This state
of things more than neutralized the continued heavy receipts
at the American ports, especially as the American markets kept
strong, although their prices were much above the parity of
the rates ruling on this side.
Between the 27th November and
the 1st December there was a distinctly quieter feeling, and
prices gave way %d. on the spot and about the same in
futures. But the fall again brought in buyers, especially as
a strong upward movement was going on at New York.
There was not much change on the 2d, but on the 3d there
was a ruse of fully l-16d., and on the 4th a further advance of
%d. On the last-named day the market was at times quite
excited, and an extensive amount of business was done both on
the spot and for forward delivery. The spot price did not go
beyond 6 15-16d. for Middling Upland, but 7 5-16d. was paid
for June-July delivery.
A quieter feeling ruled on Friday
morning, and prices gave way l-16d., but the fall was recovered
later in the day, and on Saturday there was a further advance
of %d. An extensive business was done, including large buying
on American account, and the market was quite excited, owing
to the rise of 5-16c. to 7-16c. at New York on Friday.
On
Monday the demand subsided, owing to large American receipts
and a re-action at New York, and prices receded %d., but the
fall was recovered before the close of the day, and a further
advance was established on Tuesday in response to a renewed
upward movement at New York. To-day the tone is weaker,
and part of yesterday's advance is lost.
The following are the principal fluctuations in Middling
Uplands on the spot and for forward delivery during the month
compared with the low prises current on October 4.

COURSE OF THE MANCHESTER MARKET, NOVEMBER. 10 TO DEC. 10.
The improvement which commenced in October has since
made further progress, and during the past month a very
eitensive business has been done in yarns and goods at gradually-advancing prices, ending in a total rise of %d. in 32's twist
and 3d. to 6d. per piece in 8% lbs. shirtings, and a corresponding advance in other articles. The demand has been good from
Latterly the business for the East has been less
than it was a few weeks ago but this falling off has
been more than counterbalanced by increased buying for other
markets, and by revived animation in the home trade. Surplus
stocks are exhausted, and producers are largely under contract
for forward delivery, mostly for several months into next year.
A large part of the business has been exceptional, anticipatory
and speculative. Purchases for Germany have been temporarily increased in order to escape the new duties which come
into operation on the 1st January, while buyers for other
markets have given out large orders in anticipation of a further

The holiday season and the bad weather have been drawbacks to trade in flour of all grades, and yet there has been a
fafr export demand, while prices, sympathizing with the upward
ourse of wheat, have ruled in favor of holders. Production
has continued to be reduced, partly from the disparity between
the cost of wheat at speculative values and the prices to be
obtained for flour with only the legitimate demands, and these
on the reduced scale incident to the closing of the year. The
severe weather in the Northwest has frozen mill streams, and
production h reduced by thfe can"" also. Rye flour and corn

declined. To-day the market was very quiet.
The wheat market has been gaining strength. "Winter growths
have been mainly under the control of speculative influences ;
but in spring growths holders have|experienced the reEef arising
from a large export demand, shipping taking in the course of
Tuejday and Wednesday nearly half a million bushels at $ 1 40

sold for Feb. at $2 51 per cental. No. 1 white sold on Wednesday at f 2 62 per cental for June and $2 66% for Feb. ; and No.
2 Red Winter $2 68 for Jan. and $2 ;3>6 for Feb. To-day the
"calls" were suspended, and business was small, but prices
were firmly maintained.
Indian Corn has been more freely offered, under increasing
supplies from the new crop, and prices have been a little
weak, yet showing no important decline, and supplies, except
of Western mixed, continue light. The speculation in futures
has been checked by the controversy concerning the cental
system. To-day the market was somewhat depressed.
Rye has been quiet but about steady, prime cargoes selling
at 97c. Barley was only moderately active and prices somewhat
unsettled. Oats have been variable, but generally firmer, with
sales of No. 2 mixed for January at 50@50%c. To-day the
market was dull, No. 2 graded closing at 50c. for mixed and 51c.
for White.

Domestic Cotton Goods.— The exports of domestics from this
port to foreign markets during the week ending December 23,
were only 618 packages, of which 208 were sent to Hayti, 193
to Great Britain, 85 to Venezuela, and the remainder to other
markets. As compared with previous weeks the demand for
cotton goods at both first and second hands was comparatively

satinets (though in fair demand; were a triflle less active than
of late. For flannels and blankets there was a steady inquiry,

there was only a limited demand for worsted dress fabrics.
