With the
present number of the Chronicle is issued the
usual
of 100 pages of closely printed matter.
This number of the
Supplement also contains the yearly article upon railroad
dividends, with a table showing the dividends paid in each of
the past seven years on all railroad stocks sold at the Ex¬
changes in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The railroad maps in the Supplement continue to grow in
favor, and the officers of the great railroad “systems” are
realizing more and more, how useful it is to give in this way a
clear view of the territory occupied by their extended lines.
A general railroad map does not answer the purpose, as it is
simply impossible for bankers or investors to pick out on a
general map the complicated lines of such systems as the Chi¬
cago Burlington & Quincy, Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul or
Chicago & Northwestern.
In the present issue, twenty important railroad maps will be
found, including new maps of the Baltimore A Ohio, the
Indianapolis St. Louis &

London, Saturday, Deo. 13, 1884,
might be expected, now that the close of the year is so
hand, business, with scarcely an exception, is very
quiet, and the events of the past week have been few, unin¬
teresting, and not very encouraging. The trade of the coun¬
try continues not only depressed but very unprofitable. The
railway traffic returns also show a considerable diminution
compared with last year, and itaeems to be tolerably certain that
the dividends for the current half-year will compare adversely
with those for the corresponding period in 1883.
It is, how¬
ever, satisfactory to notice that the important failures which
have taken place during the last two months have been few,
and this fact naturally produces encouragement.
That a
sounder condition of things exists is admitted by many, and
the hope is in consequence entertained that early in the new
year the improvement will become more distinct.
To what
extent this hope will be realized time alone can show, but the
somewhat steadier tone which has recently been apparent
seems to justify the greater confidence which prevails in re¬
gard to the future course of things. It would, however, be
premature to anticipate any real activity in business, either
on the Stock Exchange or in commercial circles.
The state of the money market and the condition of
the Bank of England are two of the prominent reasons
for greater confidence.
The apprehensions which were felt
regarding the future course of the value of money have re¬
cently been dispelled to a considerable extent and it is not
regarded as probable that the present Bank rate of 5

per cent will be exceeded.
year and during the early part of 1885 money will, as usual, be
much wanted, and full rates will be obtained ; but this demand
will be of a temporary character and not attract much atten¬
tion.
The inquiry has already been assuming increasing pro¬
portions and the open market rates of discount have had an
upward tendency.
A feature in the money market during the week lias been an
advance in the rates of interest for deposits allowed by the dis¬
count houses of '4 per cent, the quotations being 4 per cent at
call and 41q per cent if with notice of withdrawal.
Some few
years ago this would have been regarded as unusual and there¬
fore serious, but no such views are entertained now'. The
discount houses raise or lower their allowance of interest for dedosits according to the state of the supply of floating capital
and the extent of the demand for loans.

Sliver—The price lias continued to decline since onr last, under tlie
influence of an unsettled feeling here and in India, caused by the intro¬
duction of a bill in the States for the suspension of silver coinage for a
period of three years. Congress, however, adjourns in about a fortnight,
until March next, and we are inclined to think that such an
important
subject will not be so speedily settled. Our last quotation was 497sd.,
but the rate lias gradually fallen, and now
per oz. is the nearest
price we can give, with a quiet market. We have received £43,200
from New York, £47,000 from River Plate, and £65,000 from Chili.
The P. and O. steamer has taken £103,000 to Bombay.
Mexican Dollars—The only arrivals during tlie week reached us from
New York, and, owing to the unsettled condition of affairs in China, the
price gave way to 49d., and is now perhaps a shade lower ; but with
none on the market, and
awaiting the arrival of those by tlie St. Nazaire, we are at present unable to give a firm quotation.

following statement of Mr. E. D. Worcester, Treas¬
accompanies the figures: “ In the statement issued upon
the declaration of the dividend payable on the first of August
last, the belief was expressed that although the first half of
the year showed a deficiency, the second half would make it
good, such having been the case in preceding years. But it
was, nevertheless, deemed judicious to reduce the rate of divi¬
dend to 6 per cent.
“The conditions that affected the first half of the year have
continued, however, and with increased intensity during the
second, so that, even with the reduced dividend, the lookedfor effect for the year lias not been realized.

Under the circumstances the directors have decided not to

The

increasing business of the company will soon render necessary

To take up all the unfunded
indebtedness and for the general pur¬
poses of the company, the directors have decided to offer a
subscription,
as specified below,
to the stockholders; each stockholder of record Dec.
22,1884, having the unassignable right to subscribe for
one
block, and
assignable rights to subscribe for one additional block under this circu¬
lar for each 100 shares
standing in his name.
The company will issue debentures of $1,000 each, dated
January 1,
1885, bearing interest from and after April 1, 1885, at 10 per
cent per
annum, payable semi-annually October 1 and April 1 of each year, as
per coupons annexed. These debentures will be
payable April 1, 1895,
cut redeemable at
par and accrued interest on aud after April 1,1890,
at the
company’s option, upon 30 days’ notice by public advertisement.
The debentures will be secured by
deposit with the Boston Safe Deposit
and Trust Company, trustee, under an indenture made for
the purpose
of the
following collateral:
For each $l,0i'0 debenture, $1,000 first
mortgage bonds, with all
unpaid coupons, 2,000 subsidy certificates.
The directors expect to raise $2,700,000 under this

their expectations are met, all floating indebtedness will
be paid, and
the
company will have in its treasury over $500,000 cash, $3,000,000

understand the Erie Railroad Company
intends to default on series G on January 1 and probably on
the earlier issues as the interest matures. We propose to put
the matter in the hands of our attorney, Mr. John C. Bullitt,
for the purpose of enforcing promptly the rights of the certifi¬
cate holders.
We understand that the company proposes to
offer long bonds, with interest not exceeding 4 per cent
per
annum.
The large holders whom we have consulted are will¬
ing to accept this settlement, and
we should be pleased to learn
the matter and have you join with us in the
legal proceedings we are about to commence.” The holders
are also asked to agree to the
appointment of a committee to
take the necessary measures in their behalf, to consist of Mr.

views
on
New York & New England.—The Boston Journal says :
The
new finance committee of the New York & New
Eng¬
land Railroad appear to have set to work in a business-like
way to arrange the financial affairs of the company.
It is un¬
derstood that the January interest upon the first
mortgage
bonds will be provided for, and as regards the coupons on the
second mortgage bonds, the Commonwealth and
parties in
New York owning several hundred thousand of them have
consented to take a year’s interest in second mortgage bonds.
This lea ves the bonds here in control of Col. French and others,
several hundred thousand dollars in amount,to be provided for,
but there is no doubt they will be magnanimous with the other
holders of these bonds.” Assuming these arrangements com¬
pleted the Transcript remarks: “This practically dispels
danger of a foreclosure for a year at least, as the first mortgage
interest can be readily taken care of. The remaining problems
to be grappled with are the car trust, high rental of leased lines
and miscellaneous floating debt.
If some temporary or per¬
manent arrangement can be made for these, so as to reduce
net charges, the question before the management will resolve
itself into the development of the road’s earning capacity. The
earnings are increasing, and to increase, if popular management
can compass that end.”

speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
has been fairly active, but the tone has been feverish and un¬
settled, with wide fluctuations.
Saturday closed slightly
dearer, after an early decline, and Monday, after a struggle
with the “bear” party, closed at a smart advance.
Tuesday
opened at a further improvement; but then some of the “bull”
party became sellers to realize profits, and it began to be as¬
serted that the forthcoming deliveries on January contracts
are to be very heavy, which checked the d isposition to pur¬
chase until the effect of these deliveries slial have been, tested
—influences which caused a decline of 13@15 points from the
morning figures, and the advance of Monday was fully lost at
the close.
On Wednesday the course of the market for Tues¬
day was repeated in a modified degree, with the execution
that the interest in January contracts, which had been a lead¬
ing feature, almost wholly disappeared, and February became
a prominent month.
To-day business was very slow, and the
changes in prices quite unimportant until near thd close,
when there was a sharp advance, and, as compared with last
Friday, December is 10 points dearer and other deliveries
3@6 points dearer. Cotton on the spot has been dull and
unsettled. Quotations were advanced 1-16c. on Monday and
again on Tuesday; but were reduced 1-1 Cc. on Wednesday.
To-day the market was quiet and nearly nominal, middling
uplands closing at 11 l-16c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 447,500
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
1,392 bales, including
for export, 1,372 for consumption,
20 for speculation and — in transit.
Of the above, — bales
were to arrive.
The following are the official quotations for
each day of the past week.

prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
,veek from the plantations.
Receipts at the out port 8 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

December 26, 1884.-
temporarily withdrawn from the
anticipation of better values after the holidays, but
the offerings at late prices have been quite equal to all de¬
mands.
Rye flour, corn meal and buckwheat Hour have
slightly declined. To-day wheat Hour was quiet but firmer.
The wheat market has shown some strength, speculation has
been comparatively slow, and -there is no considerable “short
interest” to- give rise to an irregular demand; but there has
been a very fair export movement from this port and from
Baltimore.
The Western farmers
seem
inclined to hold back
prices. Yet these in¬
confidence in an im¬
portant advance, proving adequate only to the prevention of
a decline to still
lower Jigures.
The export purchases have
included large lines of spring wheat for early arrival. To-day
there was a firmer but very quiet market.

been chiefly confined to filling such small re-orders as were
daily jeceived by mail and telegraph. The auction rooms pre¬
sented no important features, a d the leading auction houses
have discontinued their regular sales until the
opening of the

displayed very little animation, transactions in
both heavy and spring w-ighfcs having failed to realize the ex¬
pectations of holders. Fancy cassimerts ruled quiet, aside
from a few of the most popular spring goods, for which some
fair orders were placed by clothiers and the fine tailoring
trade.
Worsted suitings were relatively more active than,
other clothing woolens, and tnere was a stealv movement in
leading makes on account of back orders. Beavers and over¬
coatings continued quiet, and there was a limited business in
printed satinets. Some good-siz^d parcels of Kentucky j *ans
and doeskins were closed out by means of low prices, bur the
demand in the regular way was very light.
Ladies’ cloths,
tricots and sackings were mostly qui> t; hue a few pretty good
orders were placed for Jersey cloths bv cloak manufacturersFlannels and blankets were lightly dealt in, and shawls, skirts
and all-wool and worsted dress goods were
generally quiet,
while the demand for hodery and knit underwear continued
