Mr. Allport has been asked by the voting
trustees of the New
& Ohio Railway Company to join their

cannot be regarded as iu a depressed
condition. The railway
traffics have been fairly

redeemable January 1, 1884, but the money not being in the
sinking fund to redeem it, the last Legislature, by chapter 289,
authorized the new loan to redeem the old one. The new law
makes it compulsory to put into the sinking fund as much of
the proceeds of the 5}^ per cent per $100 tax as is left after
paying interest, so that the bonds may be redeemed at maturity.
The new bonds, which are limited to $3,000,000. will bear two
semi-annual 6 per cent interest payments up to January 1, 1884,
and then 3 65 per cent for fifteen years. Balthnore Sun.

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 Pacifle 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

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 locomotives and rolling stock and other moveable property acquired

'i"he 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 securities, elsewhere in this paper, on which Messrs. Winslow, Lanier
& Co. will pay interest on and after January 2.

Railroads earnings are judged each year by comUnited States Bonds.- There has been very active trading

of the first half of 1883 ouglit to exceed largely those for the in government bonds, and large purchases have still been made

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, 1883, tlie deficiency in the crop was hardly apparent, 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 yeat« 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 perpetual strength in the prices of stocks. It is hardly worth
wliile to prophesy any evils, but we are inclined to the opinion
that whatever difficulties may arise are likely to be the outgrowth of that kite-flying in railroad affairs which has taken
place since 1870 in the financial management of a few corporations.
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 temporary surplus of funds, will lead in the end to some sort of
disaster.
Wlienever it is noticed that this kind of management obtains control of a railroad company, tlie public will
learn to handle its stocks and bonds with great caution. In
the past year or two, whenever there has been a violent attack
on the stock market, it has usually happened that one or two
particularly weak or assailable stocks have been singled out
and hammered down, and through the break in these the
wliole market has been weakened.
The money market has been a little firmer to borrowers on
stock collaterals, and they have paid in exceptional cases as
high as 8 per cent for money on call, though 5@6 has been
the range for most of the business.
Money on governments
has been strangely easy, and large amounts have been offered
down to 3 per cent and lower, apparently by parties who
wished to hold the bonds over the first of January.

the week of £503,0t)0 in specie, and the percentage of reserve

State and Railroad Bonds. In State bonds the chief feature has been tlie weakness in Tennesseos, owing to the determination of the State authorities not to pay the January interest on the new compromise bonds, and the latter closed, in

as she does not pay the interest anyhow, it will not cost a bit

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.

Kansas City Springfleld & Memphis.— Charles Merriam,
Treasurer of this company, has issued a circular to the holders
of receipts for blocks of that road's secutities, calling for 15
per cent additional subscription towards the construcion of the
line to Memphis.
The causes necessitating these additional
subscriptions are mainly the changes of location for the better
alignment of the road, which have increased its length six
miles, making a total of 281 miles from Springfleld, Mo., to the
Mississippi River, instead of 275 miles included in the first estimate, and the great flood in the Mississippi River and its tributaries, which in 1881 overspread to an unprecedented depth
much of the low country in Arkansas, which have led the
company to raise the grade originally adopted in that State,
and to enlarge the bridges and ciilverts. The character of the
work in Missouri and Northern Arkansas has al.so proved more
difficult and expensive than wa.s anticipated.

Missouri State Debt.— A.
di.spateh to the St. Louis GlobeJefferson City, December 23, said: " The State
debt on the 1st of January, 1883, will be $10,815,000. less the
f3,000,000 of the Hannibal & St. Joseph debt. The debt has
been_ reduced during the year 1882 over $650,000. * * At a
meeting held by the Fund Commissioners yesterday it was
decided to defer payment of the coming January interest on the
Missouri State bonds not having the requisite coupons attached.
The matter will be referred to the Legislature. There is about
$190,000 of this class of bonds outstanding."
New Orleans City Debt.— A press dispatch from New
Orleans, Dec. 28, said that: " In the suit of the State of Louisiana ex rel. Henry Shepherd'against the Ciij of New Orleans,
before Judge Bil'lings.^in the United States Circuit Court, a verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff, and in accordance
therewith the alternative writ of mandamus was made peremptory, and the City of New Orleans, its Mayor and Council,
ordered to carry into effect the provisions of the thirty-seventh
section of the act of the 23d February, 1852, and the fifth section of the supplementary act approved the same day and
embraced in Nos. 71 and 72 of the acts of that year, as containing a valid contract between the City ot New "Orleans and its
creditors, holding the bonds issued according to those acta, and
commanded forthwith, and annually hereafter, to levy and collect 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 greater tax than is levied by the State."

Reobifts from thb Plahtatioss. The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actnal movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the ontporta are sometimes misleading, as they are made np more largely one year
than another at the expen.se 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
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

Jute Butts, Bagginq, &c. Bagging has been in fair demand for present wants, but buyers continue indiiferent as to
large parcels, and it is only when a very low price is named
that any quantity can be placed. Holders are still quoting
previous figures, and at the close are asking 6%c, for 1)^ lbs,,
7Mc. for 1% lbs., 8c. for 2 lbs. and 8Mc- for standard grades.
Butts are not wanted except for jobbing orders, but in this way
a fair trade is being transacted.
A few inquiries are reported
for round lots, but we hear of no business.
Prices are steady,

was issued on the 10th all. The market wai
qniet, bat with a good 8pot buainess the tone became firmer,
aad during the Rubsequent ten day.i prices advanced l-16d. on
the spot and 5-61d. to 7-C4d. for fature.i. Then came a spell of
weakness, produced partly by the heavy receipts at the American ports, which brouglit the larger crop estimates to the front
and partly by a suddisn fallincr off in the spot demand, the sales
sinking to 8,000 bales on Wodne-sday the 29th ult., after a recent average of 12,000. The collapse in Novembere (which
sank to 5-56d.) had also a demoralizing effect. The result was a
fall (between the 20th and 30th ult.) of ^d. per lb. in spot
prices and 11 to 17 sixty-fourths in futures. Spot cotton was
selling at 5 15-16d. and in some instances at 6%d. Near futures were worth only 5 l:j-16d and everj'one talked of 5?4d.
as a certainty and of 5)^i. as a probability in the immediate
future. M-'anwhile "c. i. f." quotations had rather hardened.
This fact, together witii the near approacli made to 5/4d, which
most people considered a safe figure, brought in more buyers,
and led to a recovery of l-32d. to 3-64d. on the Ist and 2u instant but the improvement was lost on the subsequent two
days in consequence of the weak tenor of the Manchester advices, and of renewed large receipts at the American ports.
The fluctuations during the subsequent week (2d to 9th instant)
were unimportant. The tone at the close is steady, at an advance of 1-lOd. upon the previous lowest prices.
Compared with the quotations of a month since, the final
rates sliow a decline of %i. to 3-lGd. in the rae(iium and lower
and 5-lUd. in the higher grades of Uplands %d. to 3-16d. in
the lower, and Vid. to 5-liid. in the middling and bi'tter grades
of Texas and Orleans; 1-lGd. to /fid. in Brazils, with an exceptional fall of ^d. in pood fair Pernam; /id. to %d. in brown
and ^^d. to %d. in white E^ryptian; 3-16d. to 5-16d. in Broach,
1-lCd. in Comptah, and a partial advance of l-16d. in Dhollera

of the raw material, the outlook ih by uo mettDS so elear, owisg:
to the uncertainty which stilt exists respecting the size of the
American crop. It is yet too early to offer a couQdeot opinion
on the point, out the already ascertained facts, namely, the are*
planted and the movements from the plantations, do not warrant the expectation of so large & yield a.i 7,000,000 to 7,100,000; and at the moment the prevalent disposition in to wait
further developments before entering into operations based on
the expectation of a continued decline in prices, particularly as
not a few people think that even if the crop should reach seven
millions, prices will not sink much below the rates accepted for

This statement shows that up to Nov. 80 the reoeipta at the
ports this year were 141,923 bales more than in 1831 and
31,300 bales less than at the same time in 18S0. By adding
to the above totals to Nov. 30 the daily receipts since that time
we shall be able to reach an ez.tct comparison of the movement
for the different years.

Indian corn has been quiet, as a rule, on the spot, while quite
a brisk business has taken place in option^. Prices declined
four cents for cash and December, while later deliveries fell off
to Ic. but part of this was afterward recovered. Receipts at
the "West have increased, and this fact has naturally had some
influence here, especially on the later options; but what most
affected casih and December corn was the unexpectedly small
%
;
to cover contracts for this month, which it was anticipated would prove larcfe enough to render another corner comparatively easy. To-day the market was irregular, cash corn
being dull and weak, wtiile options were J6@lc. higher, and
fairly active; No. 2 mixed sold at 663^@6C>^c. for December,
65%@CGc. for January and 64%c. for February; 63^c. was bid
and 63 ^c. asked for May.
Rye and barley have shown little change and have sold to
only a moderate extent. Oats have been declining and not
until ye.sterday was there much business. To-day the market
was a shade higher, with a liberal bosine-ss on speculation; No.
2 mixed S'lld at 45@45^c. for January, 45?4@46c. for February
and 4Gc. for March.

Domestic Cotton Goods.—The exports of domestics for the

to Pern, 24G to China, 206 to U. S. of Colombia, 153 to Brazil,
126 to Venezuela, 95 to Central America, &c. Brown sheetings
were in moderate demand at the ktt-ly reduced prices; but
bleached aud colored cottons ruled quiet in acjents' hands; wide
sheetings were less active, and such fabrics as cottonades
and
cheviots continued slow of sale. Prices are fairly
steady on
leading m.ikes 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 were quiet at 3 ll-16c.
