Some of their

them were thrown upon the market, it would prove very
disastrous to the values of all the late Villard properties. In
this emergency, which was well known on the Street and
had led to the large short sales, negotiations were unexpect,

operators to take from that company at prices agreed

On the other hand, a most

In December, 1882, the
tonnage of merchandise amounted to 524,529 tons, while
in December, 1883, it amounted to but little less, viz.,
512,993 tons, which is really a very good exhibit,
considering the universal depression prevailing in all
company’s stock, thus very largely reducing the floating branches of trade and industry, in view of which fact the

during 1884 thus far, which must be taken into considera¬
tion.
These are §800,000 Chicago & Pacific 5s and
§120,000 Wisconsin .& Minnesota 5s, calling together for
§40,000 interest. These latter of course cannot come in
for more thau a half year’s interest in the accounts for
18S4; but assuming that they, as well as all the new bonds
issued during 1883, will come in for their full amount,we
would have a total interest charge on the new debt of
§206,800. On the debt outstanding a year ago the charge
was, as stated, §5,598.578. Adding the additional amount,
we get $5,80 1,878 as the maximum of interest required on
the debt now outstanding, or §490,953 more than was
actually paid in 1883. And against this the company has
(assuming as a basis last year's operations) a balance of net
earnings of §1,180,098, or §095.740 beyond the amount
required for the additional interest. Even if the §112,000
called for on the land grant bonds has to be taken into
account, there would remain a balance of §583,000 (the
dividend requirement counted in full in the 1883 state¬
ment), or only a trifle less than in 1882,

particular the statement is favorable, but this balance
though large is pretty nearly 12 millions smaller than for
the corresponding month of 1882, and, besides, the decline

export movement, which is of course a feature that does
not inspire confidence.

As to the
provisions exports there was, as already stated,
falling off in December. This, however, is ascribable
more
largely to the lower prices prevailing than to any
decided falling off in the quantity exported.
For the
full twelve months we have a gain of over
17| million
dollars,.notwithstanding the lower prices ruling. Every
item shows a gain in quantity, but owing to the decline in
price pork records a decrease in value. This will be seen
from the subjoined figures.

Stock Exchange than prevailed about the middle of
The

together with the appointment of a receiver for
the North River Construction
Company. From the effects

when another
break took place in the Northern Pacifies, and the
price of
the preferred stock fell to

the whole list, and the downward turn \va3
brought
to a close
on
January 26, • when a syndicate com-posed of Messrs. Gould, Field, Drexei, and others, pur¬
chased of the 0. T. Company 30.000 shares of N. Pacific
preferred stock at 36 and 30,000 shares of common at
16, with 30,000 shares of Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company at 75. This was followed by a very sharp twist

general results, however, were not satis¬
factory to the average speculator, while the reports in
regard to commercial affairs gave indications of an
improvement in tone in several particulars. The tendency
among merchants was all towards conservatism, and in
the dry goods trade a
very large quantity of cotton goods
was
disposed of at low prices, including a decided increase
in the goods taken for
export.

ought to be considered a fairly favorable showing, and would
be, were it not for the three facts, (1) that the depression in
business is not confined to Great Britain, and hence the export
demand is falling <41’; [2; that production of iron elsewhere has
increased very decidedly, adding to the competition.. iu con¬
suming markets; and (3) that our ship-building trade the
coming year is likely to be comparatively poor. On the latter
point we may add ’that the steamer and ship tonnage built
during late years has been swelling rapidly until it has
reached remarkable proportions. A report of that trade by
€. Muller of London states that in 1883 no less than 720 steamers,
with a total of 1,102,801 tons, were added to the mercantile fleet
in the United Kingdom alone; and if to this be added 074 steamers,
of 982,961 tons, built in 1882, and 630 steamers, of 925,000 tons,
in 1881, we obtain a total of 2,024 steamers and 3,010,762 tons
Besides, with this must be included the ships
Germany which form a not
inconsiderable fleet. It is not surprising, therefore, that freights
should as a consequence be greatly reduced through competi¬
tion, and the prospects as regards steamship-building be
pronounced gloomy. Altogether, therefore, there seems to be
no present cure for the iron industry except by reducing produc¬
tion.

to believe the
representations of manufacturers, is even less favorably situ¬
ated. It is two years or more, it is claimed, since a good portion
of the mills have made much money, and they have long been
hoping for better times. Still, in spite of this adverse outlook,
they have gone on increasing spindles and the consumption of
cotton as rapidly as if they were in the nrdst of prosperity, the
weekly consumption this year being 73,000 bales of 400 pounds
each, agaiust 72,000 bales last year, 70,000 bales in 1881 and
69,000 bales iu 1880. Furthermore, now, in Lancashire they are
in the midst of a strike which very few quite understand, it
being ostensibly an effort to reduce wages 5 per cent; but under
the color of it production is also being reduced, so the result
may be better prices for goods at. the same time t hat a lower cost
of production is secured. This may all be neeessary, but the

against 6^sd. in 1882. That certainly does not make a bad
comparative showing. Of course whether there is any money
in goods at either price depends upon the average quantity
exported, which the official figures do not disclose.
As to the yield of agricultural produce during the season, it
has been satisfactory.
In consequence of the wet autumn
of 1882, the area of land under cultivation was much
smaller than in the previous year, but, taken as a whole,
the result has been fairly good.
The weather was a little un¬
settled during the ingathering of the crops, and the condition
of the wheat coming to market has been disappointing.
Barley
was p’anted extensively, and there has been a large production;
but, the weather being unsettled, really fine produce is scarce.
The yield of other crops was quite up to an average, and the
farmers’ position would have improved to a greater extent were
it nut for the fact that with foreign produce we have been super¬
abundantly supplied. The “prophets” foretold so great a scarcity
of wheat that a remunerative market was sure to be found here,
while there was a belief that the supplies available of foreign
produce were not excessive. The expectation, however, of remu¬
nerative prices soon brought to light the fact that there was a
large quantity abroad left over from previous seasons, especially
in Russia, and that country has been making every effort to real¬
ize on as much of her produce as possible during the season,
so that our imports have been
very large.
America, however,
has been dealing very cautiously in wheat, but has exported
freely of flour. The trade in American flour has become one of
great and substantial proportions. It has fur some time past
interfered with the Irish milling tiade, and has now almost

wheat and flour has been that the accumulation at our outports
has been unusual, and has reached the heavy total of 3,000,000 quarters.
As we have bejn importing far above our
requirements, buyers have all along obtained great advantages,
and to-day wheat is ruling very low in price.
Any chance of
improvement it is difficult to discern, as supplies, actual and
prospective, are very abundant. We may be certainly sure of
cheap bread in future, and this is always regarded as an im¬
portant aid to prosperity.. This is not encouraging to our
farmers.
But at the same time, with good crops they should
secure satisfactory returns.
Competition is keen and profits
are small, yet their sufferings of late years have
not been so
much on account of competition ad because of consecutively
bad seasons. Great Britain must have supplies from abroad and
of considerable abundance, and if there has been a super¬
abundance of imports of late, a recuperation will take place in
the usual way under the law of supply and demand.
Numerous new companies and loans have been introduced to
public nolice during the year, and ir is estimated that the total
capital required will.be about £84,000,000, against about £142,000,000. The falling off has therefore been very considerable, and
this might reasonably be the case, as the issues of late years have
been excessive.
These figures do 11 of, however, lead to the
conclusion that the public have committed themselves to such
heavy payments, as-every company is not successful. It is
nevertheless the fact that loans of acknowledged soundness
have been eagerly subscribed, which undoubtedly indicates
that capital in abundance is seeking employment. Very little
money has been applied for by foreign governments, but the
successfully floating loans,
especially during the last few months. Ic was said long ago
that much caution was necessary as the Colonial governments
were piling up debt very freely ; but as they have large avail¬
able resources, which augment as population increases and as
lands are opened up, the public were of opinion that the
security offered was a satisfactory and reliable one. These
loans are a great benefit to' this country.
They create a de¬
mand for iron goods, especially railroad iron, and for oilier
articles of manufacture necessary for the construction of public
works. The Aus tralasian governments obtained all they ^sked

Boston Land Company.—The
report of the Boston Land
Company for the year ended December 31, 1S83, shows sales
during the year of 45 lots, comprising 231,6'2 square feet, at
average price of 10-14c , an increase of T89c. over the
average price in 18S2.
The sales of the past six years have
an
been 1,114,404 feet at an average
price of 6‘45c. Thirty-six
buildings have been erected on the property,
including business
structures and a schoolhouse.
Negotiations are pending for
the sale of other business lots at
Winthrop Junction. Various
street and other improvements have been
made. The income
from interest, sales of gra=>s, rents, &c., has exceeded
the current
expense by the sum of $2,758, and, with amount of land sales,
results in an addition to the cash or available assets of
$19,732.

Marquette Houghton & Ontonagon.—The reports in relation
a forfeiture of the
Marquette Houghton & Ontonagon land
grant are in relation to a “right’' to a land grant, which land
grant the Marquette Houghton & Ontonagon Railroad
Company
can have if it bnilds to
Ontonagon. The Marquette Houghton
& Ontonagon earned first
by construction some years since its
original land grant, which it. sold to the Brasseys of England
for $2,500,000 in 1881.
The railroad has just earned another
land grant of 80,000 acres by the construction of its
Houghton
branch. It lias the right to earn a third land
grant by build¬
ing to Ontonagon. This land grant is estimated to be worth
$1,500,000, but the construction of the road would cost nearly a
million, and its operation, it is figured, would be a continuous
loss. Therefore the railroad company has accounted this as of
only contingent future value, worth about the amount of effort
taken
now
and then to
secure an
extension of time for the build¬
ing of the road. The grant is from the United States, but the
State^of Michigan is trustee for it, and has extended the time
for the building of the road, but another extension
may be
asked. —Boston Transcript.

and caused apprehensions which have since given
place to greater confidence, because there were no resulting
failures. The effect has been to revive at least the investment
of capital in railroad bonds, which had been checked.
The prices of commodities, on the other hand, show no
indications of advancing. But the recent reduction of wages
in the various prominent lines of manufacture, like the Fall
River print factories, shows that manufacturers and middle
men are accommodating themselves, temporarily at least, to
the prices prevailing. The decline, however, seems to have
spent its effects in causing mercantile failures, which have
greatly diminished in the last two weeks. On the whole, the
general situation, though unsatisfactory in view of diminish¬
ing exports, low prices, and the dulness of interior trade, is a
much more re-assuring one than that of two weeks ago.
The advance of 3 cents on the pound sterling in the quotations
for demand sterling bills since the beginning of the year, brings
the rate up close to the specie-exporting point, and this, in
the present light export movement of breadstuff's and pro¬
visions, is a rather unfavorable feature in the situation.
There seems to be no decrease in the supply of loanable
funds in the market, and nothing to indicate any speedy
improvement in the abnormally low rates for money. Call
loans on stock' collaterals have ruled at 1% to 2 per cent per
annum during
the whole week. Time loans on similar
collaterals are to be had at 4@4% per cent for three or six
months. Mercantile discounts remain unchanged at 4 and
4% per cent for the best double-name paper for 60 days and 4
months, and 5 and 5% for single-name paper for the same
for years,
time.
The domestic exchanges in almost every quarter are in
favor of New York, and the tendency of money is still to
concentrate here.
The last weekly statement of the New York banks, like that
of each of the three preceding weeks, showed a large increase
of deposits and a corresponding increase of legal tenders
.
and
specie, the surplus reserve having risen to $19,478,775, against
$10,007,575 at the corresponding date last year.
The Bank of England weekly statement shows a loss of
£56,000 in specie and a reduction in the reserve to 41 9-16 from
41% in the previous week. The rate of discount remains un¬
changed at 3 per cent. The Bank of France exhibits a gain
of 1,863,000 francs in gold and a loss of 1,056,000 francs in
silver.
The following table shows the changes from the previous
week and a comparison with the two preceding years in the
averages of the New York Clearing House banks.

upward tendency. The West Shore 5s were less active: the
range of their prices from Saturday morning, the 26th, to
last night, was as follows, viz.: 51%, 51, 55, 52, 53, 52%.
The
Northern Pacific and Texas Pacific issues were among the

Stocks.—There has been a
general advance in the stock market during the last week,
caused chiefly by the covering of shorts, who had largely over¬
sold the majority of the leading active stocks during the pre¬
ceding weeks. The efforts to depress prices had been aided to
a large degree by the apprehensions of failures, etc., which pre¬
vailed.
But with the recovery of confidence prices rapidly
advanced, and the shorts were obliged to cover their outstand¬
ing contracts. Oregon Navigation and the Northern Pacifies
were
particularly conspicuous in this respect early in
the week,
the former scoring an advance of 30 points
on
comparatively small sales (with a premium of
9 per cent paid for cash stock),
and Northern Pacific
rising
8 points. On Tuesday Manitoba also jumped
up some 9 points on covering; and later on, Union Pacific,
Louisville & Nashville and Delaware Lackawanna & Western
were made leaders
in a very pronounced upward move¬
ment.
The effect on the general market was to estab¬
lish a higher range of prices pretty nearly all around.
The
following are the principal net changes for tho week:
advanced—Burlington & Quincy. 2%: Canada Southern, 2%;
Delaware Lackawanna & Western, 5%; Lake Shore, 4%;

22,765 net tons of open-hearth steel rails rolled,
making a total
production in 1882 of 1,460,920 net tons of steel rails. In lbS3
we rolled
very few tons of Bessemer steel rails in iron rolling
mills, either from imported or domestic blooms, and we. proba¬
bly made fewer open-hearth steel rails in 1883 than in 1882; in
the absence as yet of complete statistical

the total production from tli*-se two sources at

Adding, say, 46,075 tons from these
the 1,253,925 net tons of Bessemer steel rails ascer¬

At Boston, January 31, the

appeared before the railroad
committee and asked for a bill that will allow the
issue of
$5,000,000 of preferred stock. This is to be paid for

cash or $50 in cash and two shares of
common stock.
The
second mortgage bonds may also be
exchanged for preferred
stock.
Receiver Clarke said that while ihe fixed
charges of tne
road cannot perhaps be earned at
present, he believed that in
the course of several
years this desirable object could be
realized.
New York Ontario Sc Western.—It is stated that the direct¬
of this railroad
company have under discussion a plan to
issue a four-million-dollar 5 per cent
ors
mortgage bond. The
proposed plan necessarily requires the consent of the stock¬
holders, and it provides that the preferred stock
may be
exchanged into the new bonds or the preferred holders may
take its bonds at a price.
—The argument on the motion for a
receivership of the
Ontaiio & Western Road has-been
postponed to the 5th of

the committee, viz : Judge

—West Shore bonds have been
strong at rimes, on a rumor
which was at least plausible. It was stated that
agents of Mr.
Vanderbilt made a proposition for the purchase of the control
of West Shore.
The proposition is said to be that the bonded
debt of West Shore, now' $50,000,000, shall be cut down
to
$25,000,000, on which amount New York Central will either
guarantee interest at 5 per cent or issue its own 5

is, under the proposition, to be converted into

company $1,200,000 fornix

margin to be called for. This gives the
Oregon & Traas-Continental Company ab >ut $3,500,000, which
will pay off all pressing obligations and leave a
good cash

This will probably lead to a revision
of the Northern Pacitic directory and place in the Board one
or more of the parties who

Philadelphia Sc Reading.—At Philadelohia, Jan. 28, the
special meeting of stockholders of the Philadelphia &
Reading
Railroad Company to vote upon the question of a dividend
was
held at the company’s general office.
After the meeting
called to order ex-President Gowers stated that it had
been
or done now with regard
to the collateral trust loan; but that the sole
object of the meet¬
ing was to vote upon the desirability of declaring a dividend after
certain obligations had been disposed of. He said that the
loan
had not been offered to anybody; that it,was not wise to
attempt
to place it in the present
disturbed condition of the stock mar¬
ket; that he had no doubt of the ability of the company to
get
the money.
The papers for the loan have not even been
drawn, ana the matter will not be acted upon by the directors
for two or three weeks.
It was the object, at present to know
whether or not the stockholders desire to have a dividend

the loan shall be negotiated.

Cotton Movement from all Ports.—We have re-arranged
our India service so as to make our reports more detailed and
at the same-time more accurate.
We had found it impossible
to keep out of our figures, as cabled to us for the ports other
than Bombay, cargoes which proved only to be shipments from
one India port to another.
The plan now followed relieves us
from the danger of this inaccuracy and keeps the totals correct.
We first give the Bombay statement for the week and year,
bringing the figures down to January 31.

New York Cotton Exchange.—The meeting of
Jin. 30 for the purpose of discussing a
of the commission law lias been postponed to Tues¬
appointed to be held
change
on
day, Feb. 5.
It, is announced that the R-al Estate and Traders’ Exchange
has arranged to take up the cotton business under the title of
Cotton Bureau, the tariff of commissions to be satisfactory both
principal and broker and Mr. Daniel \V. Talcott of long ex¬
to
perience in the cotton trade to be chairman. Perhaps this will
help to pass the proposed reduction of the terms of the com¬
mission law at present existing in the Cotton Exchange.

the weeks in different years do not end on the same day of
the month.

tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader may
constantly have before him the data for seeiug the exact relative
movement tor rhj years "named.

characterized by a good deal of
irregularity. Fabrics
adapted to the coming season, as dress goods, ginghams, wash
fabrics, lawns, piques, &c., were distributed with considerable
freedom, and printed calicoes were in fair request.
Clothing
woolens ruled very quiet, and there was only a
slight improve¬
imported fabrics. Lower prices en¬
abled agents representing certain well known makes of domestic
cotton goods to effect liberal sales; but little if
any profit from
these transactions was derived by manufacturers, and the
gen¬
eral demand for cotton goods was
comparatively light. The
jobbing trade has been sluggish as a rule, comparatively few
retail buyers having thus far appeared in the market.
Toward
the close of the week there was a somewhat improved under¬
tone, caused by the determination of cotton goods manufac¬
turers to curtail production; and if this course is
persisted in, it
will greatly tend to restore confidence in values and lead to a
more
satisfactory business in the near future.
