representing the condition in this respect as very
unfavorable. We can however discover
nothing in the
figures justifying the conclusion that the downward move¬
ment had any such
origin. That the prices and movement
of India produce have
recently declined is an undoubted
fact; but if we take the value of the shipments to Great
Britain since January 1, it will be found that there ha3

accumulated largely so that increased amounts had to be
pressed upon the market. And as we understand it, just
that and only that is the part these India Council bills are
at present playing in this movement.
England’s fiscal year begins with the 1st of April. Ever
since that date the allotments have been accumulating;
that is to say, the offerings have almost every week been
in excess of the takings, so that on the 13th of December
the total offerings in excess of allotments had reached about
414 lacs.
During the summer the offerings were only
25 lacs (a lac is 100,000 rupees, or about
£10,000).
Later the offerings were increased to 30 lacs, then to
35 lacs, then 40, and now to 50 lacs.

therefore that although
of these bills could not cause this

large balance still remaining unsold and which must
put on the market during the coming three months is
a very depressing influence.
The question naturally arises then, why have not these
bills sold during past months as readily as during the
same months of last year if the India trade has not only been
as good but better than a year ago.
The answer is found
in the fact that merchants have been making their remit,

Probably no railroad report issued in recent years has
so marked an impression on the public mind as that
of the New York Central, to which we adverted last
week.
That a road which during the trying times
succeeding the panic of 1873, paid and earned 8 per cent
dividends" regularly, should now, in a year of quite
general prosperity, fall 1 £ million dollars short of earning that percentage—such a fact causes more or less
uneasiness even among the firmest believers, in railroad
property, and among small investors has been very dis¬
turbing indeed. Central stock had become such a favorite,
being ranked by^many almost on a par with Governments
for the certainty of its dividends, that the disclosure that
it too is vulnerable, has come to many like a revelation,
and on every side we hear the inquiry whether this stock
has ceased to be a stable investment, and is now to be
forced to a lower level of dividends, like so many other
railroad stocks in years gone by.
Of course, such an inquiry involves many contingencies.
And first among these is the question whether the manage¬
ment of the Central or of any other trunk line will force a
new
railroad war for personal benefit.

Chicago Burlington & Quincy, caused by the statement
that the annual report for the current year showed an
addition of about 26 millions to the stock and bond ac¬
count, probably representing the Denver extension, and also
that the business of the road had fallen off about $250,000
compared with last year.

nothing new in these facts, as they were all known
before, but speculators made the most of them, and
also assumed that the other Illinois and Iowa roads

As few except the traders in the
market are for the moment inclined to buy, and as the
leaders are disposed simply to protect their own special¬
ties, speculators for a decline easily meet with moderate
success whenever they see fit to attack any special class of
stocks. In the meantime holders are looking forward
with hope to purchases for investment immediately after
the holidays, expecting that this demand will aid in
giving the market that upward movement for which all
have been so long looking.

A feature of
importance during the week is that the rate of
India Council bills has been redaeed to the extent of
%d. the
rupee, the present quotation being only Is. 7 3-16d. The India
Council are offering £400,003 and £500,000 each
week, and the
uncertainty of the exchanges embarrass considerably the trade
of the country, though chiefly that of Manchester. The silver
market has been much disorganized, and the
price of fine bars
has fallen to 50%d. per ounce. Continental
buyers have taken
considerable advantage of the low rate
current, and have
assisted in checking any further decline in
prices. The arrivals
of Mexican dollars have been
large, and the market is weak at
only 49‘78d. per ounce. The following prices of bullion are

Maryland State Loan.—A conference of holders of Mary¬
land defense loan bonds was held at the banking house of
John
S. Gittings & Co. in this city. The redemption of the 6
per
cent loan by the 3*65 per cent loan was discussed, but no
action
was taken, as the object was only to have an
interchange of

The
Selma City (Ala).—At the request of some
leading citizens
of Selma, the Alabama Legislature has revoked the charter of
the City of Selma, to give an opportunity of
arranging and
settling the indebtedness of that city. Col. R. H. Abercrombie,
in compliance with a recent act of Alabama’s
Legislature, was
appointed commissioner by the Governor and established an
office in Montgomery, Ala., to provide for the
adjustment,
compromise and settlement of the debts of the following
counties: Randolph, Lee, Tallapoosa, Pickens and Chambers/
Said indebtedness arose from bonds endorsed and issued
by said
counties in payment of stock subscribed to aid railroads.
Commissioner Abercrombie gives notice to holders of such
bonds to report them until January 20, 18S3.
—On the outside cover of the Investors’ Supplement, issued
with this number of the Chronicle, will be found a
very good
exposition of some of the main features regarding the Chesa¬
peake & Ohio Railway system. The railroads constructed
under the direction of Mr. C. P. Huntington and his associates
have been among the most remarkable of the country, and the
great length of lines completed on their Southern Pacific route
and its connecting lines towards San Antonio, without the
marketing of a dollar of stock or bonds, is hardly paralleled
by other companies. The earnings of the Chesapeake & Ohio
road are showing a large increase over previous years. The
new 6 per cent
gold bonds of 1911 have an authorized issue of
$2,000,000, secured, in connection with the bonds of series A, by
a deed of trust dated
January, 1881, on all the railroad line of
the company, commencing at a
point where it leaves the main
line of the railroad at or near Richmond, Va., and running
thence down the Peninsula to Newport News, Va., together
with all franchises, rights and privileges acquired under the
Act of Assembly authorizing the construction of this branch;
together with two wharves at Newport News and the land on
which they stand, and the tracks thereto; and also all lands,
tracks, shops and fixtures at and between the junction with the
main line and the terminus at Newport News, and all locomo¬
tives and rolling stock and other moveable property acquired
for the use of the company iu
operating the railroad on the
Peninsula between the points named.
The mortgage provides
that the holder of any of the bonds of series A is to have no
preference over any holder of any of the bonds of 1911 by any
reason of any
priority in date, or in the time of issuing the
same or otherwise; but the bonds of both series are to nave
entire equality of lien on the property above described. The
present quotation of these bonds is about 100.
—Messrs. J. S. Kennedy & Co., 63 William Street, will pay the
January coupons on Cedar Falls & Minnesota bonds and on the
St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba first mortgage bonds.
—We call attention to the large list of bonds and other securi¬
ties, elsewhere in this paper, on which Messrs. Winslow, Lanier
& Co. will pay interest on and after January 2.

In cotton
'
receipts the difference was also very marked. The
cotton crop came forward so
rapidly in 1881 that up to the 1st
of January, 1882, the
deficiency in the crop was hardly appar¬
ent, but with January the receipts began to fall
off, and from
January 1 to April 1 the crop receipts were, in round figures,
600,000 bales less than for the same quarter of
1881,—and this as
a difference
only between two successive years was something
remarkable.
On the other hand, what are the
unfavorable prospects for
the coining year? There will
undoubtedly be some difficulties
for the railroads to contend
with, and some hindrances to per¬
petual strength in the prices of stocks. It is
hardly worth
while to prophesy any evils,
but we are inclined to the opinion
that whatever difficulties
may arise are likely to be the out¬
growth of that kite-flying in railroad affairs which has taken
place since 1879 in the financial management of a few
corpor¬
It must be the rule rather than the
exception that
extravagance, unwarranted spreading out by the acquisition of
non-paying lines, constructed or purchased, and the payment
of large dividends for a
while, merely because there is a tem¬
porary surplus of funds, will lead in the end to some sort of
disaster. Whenever it is noticed that this kind
of manage¬
ment obtains control of a railroad

with great caution.
In
the past year or
two, whenever there has been a violent attack
on the stock

State and Railroad Bonds.—In State bonds the chief fea¬
ture has been the weakness in Tennessees, owing to the
mination of the State authorities not to pay the January
est on the new compromise bonds, ana the latter
deter¬
inter¬
closed, in
consequence, at 43%, and the Tennessee 6s at 42. Anew adjust¬
ment is talked of in Tennessee, and we venture to
suggest that
the State offer to her creditors a bond
bearing 10 per cent per
annum, as this will give an appearance of magnanimity, and
as she does not pay the interest
anyhow, it will not cost a bit
more than to offer them a
meagre 3 per cent.
Railroad bonds have been more active than last week, and
there is a very fair investment demand for all the better class
of bonds, while the bonds of lower rank do not
improve so
readily.
The latter sympathize more closely with the stock
market, and vary with its fluctuations.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
has been quite variable, and
sometimes.decidedly weak in tone.
There is not an active support from outside buyers, and the
professional trading only results in a fluctuation of 1 or 2 per
cent in either direction, and so the market
goes on from day
to day, waiting for the turn of the year.
In such notable
investment stocks as Chicago Burlington & Quincy, Illinois
Central and New York Central, there has been
conspicuous
weakness, which naturally has some influence on the rest of
the list.
The trunk lines are earning handsomely now, and if
they go on without another railroad war they will have a
profitable year. The railroads carrying grain and cotton
ought to have a much heavier tonnage in the first half of 1883
than they had in 1882, as mentioned above.
Various reports are circulated that there is to be another
great combination of Gould roads, embracing the Wabash and
the South westerns all the way
through to Galveston; and
although there is some probability about it, there are no facts
yet known.
To-day there was much strength shown in the early dealings,
but in the afternoon prices became weak, and the Vanderbilt
stocks, including Central & Hudson, fell off sharply.

ordered to carry into effect the provisions of the thirty-seventh
section of the act of the 23d February, 1852, and the fifth sec
tion of the supplementary act approved the same day and
embraced in Nos. 71 and 72 of the acts of that year, as contain¬
ing a valid contract between the City ot New Orleans and its
creditors, holding the bonds issued according to those acts, and
commanded forthwith, and annually hereafter, to levy and col¬
lect a tax of $650,000 commanded by the acts aforesaid, for the
purpose of applying the same to the payment of the current
interest of the year; secondly, to the arrears of interest of
former years, until all the arrears are satisfied; and, thirdly, to
the purchase of bonds having the shortest period to run. The
intervention of James B. Woods and others was dismissed at
their cost. The defendant was ordered to pay all the costs. This
decision, with other and outstanding
purposes
of taxation, will
increase the rate of the city tax to forty-three mills upon the
dollar annually. The State Constitution limits the tax to six
mills for State purposes and prohibits any municipality from
imposing
a

Railroad Construction (New).—The latest information of
the completion of track on new railroads is as follows:
Chicago Iowa «fc Dakota.—Track laid from Eldora Junction, la., west
to Eldora, 5^ miles.
Connotton Valley.—The
Straitsville Branch is extended from Justice,
O., southwest to Coshocton, 26 miles. Gauge, 3 ft.

east by south to Jonesboro, 25 miles.
Wabash St. Louis dc Pacific.—The Des Moines Division is extended
from Eads, la., northwest to Fonda, 28 miles.
This is a total of 122*2 miles of new railroad, making 9,922 miles thus
far this year, against 7,870 miles reported at the correspouding time in
1881, 6,139 miles in 1880, 3,801 miles in 1879, 2,263 miles in 1878,

by any means the total track laid last year, as information yet to be re¬

the income bonds that the board of directors have decided
that a sufficient number in amount of the income bondholders
of the company have assented to the proposition to accept con¬
solidated first mortgage bonds in exchange for their income
bonds to justify them in authorizing the exchange on the pro¬
posed terms of two income bonds for one consolidated. The
consolidated mortgage bonds will be ready to deliver in ex¬
change for the income bonds February 1, 1883.
Tehuantepec.—A press dispatch from the City ©f Mexico,

Railroad Company, New York, has formally agreed to the for¬
feiture of the CDncession by the Mexican Government. The
Government pays the company $1,625,000 for the road con¬

twenty-five thousand dollars in Mexican silver are already paid,
and of the balance $400,000 will be paid in April and $100,000

the Toledo Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad was
subscribed,
and it is expected that E. B.
Phillips, the former Presi¬
dent of the Eastern Railroad, will at once
take the
presi¬
dency of this company. The subscription was completed
at a meeting of the
security holders. When the meeting
was opened about
$500,000 had been subscribed. John Felt
Osgood, chairman of the meeting, stated at the outset that
no less a sum than
$800,000 would bridge the company over its
difficulties or secure a competent head for it.
A failure was
inevitable, he declared, unless the security holders came
promptly to the rescue. Mr. Darling of the firm of George
Wm. Ballou & Co., proposed that if those
present would sub¬
scribe here and now the $100,000 needed to
bring the entire
subscriptions up to $600,000 he would undertake to raise the
remainiBg $200,000. Indeed, he already had assurance that
this sum would be forthcoming within 24 hours
after $600,000
was subscribed.
This offer started
subscriptions at once, and
the $100,000 was finally subscribed.
Vermont Central.—The success of the Vermont
Central and
Vermont & Canada reorganization scheme is
considered pretty
well assured, as about $1,500,090 of the
indorsed the plan, and only $2,200,000 is $4,300,000 bonds have

In beginning his opinion in the

the above facts, and then
says: “ The court is not advised and

Telegraph Company have acted
in a lawful and

spirit, and will determiue this ques¬
tion submitted to it upon

thereto.” After
referring to the terms of the agreement be¬
tween the Western Union, American
Union and Atlantic & Pa¬
cific telegraph companies, and to the
distribution of $15,526,590 of new Western Union stock to
its stockholders in accord¬
ance with that
agreement, Judge Arnoux says: “This stock has
been held by this court to have been
illegally issued, leaving
the question of its
legal creation to be hereafter decided, for,
whether this is legal stock
illegally issued, or void stock, has
not been decided.
While this decision stands it must
be as¬
sumed to be the law. There is no
presumption that it will be
reversed, and upon this basis this decision must
proceed. * * *

Domestic Woolen Goods have not show'n much
animation,
bnt prices are without quotable change, popular makes of
clothing woolens being pretty w'ell sold
and generally
steady. Kentucky jeans remain quiet, and prices are low and
unremunerative to manufacturers. For satinets the demand
has been light and ii regular, and prices favor the
buyer in
some instances.
Cloakings wrere in light request, and the de¬
mand for repellents wras confined to small lots necessary for
the
up
reijAwal of assortments. Fiannels and blankets ruled quiet
and steady, and shawls and skirts were sluggish in first hands.
Dress goods lacked animation, but a few orders were
placed for
specialties adapted to the spring trade.

were in moderate demand at the
lately reduced prices; but
bleached and colored cottons ruled quiet in agents’ hands; wide
sheetings were less active, and such fabrics as cottonades and
cheviots continued slow'of sale. Prices are
fairly steady on
leading makes of plain cottons, but some concessions are likely
to be made shortly on certain colored cottons, in order to reduce
stocks on hand. Print clothes wTere quiet at 3 11-16c. for 64x64s
