There ban been rather mure demaod for money this week,
and the rateH of diHcoant have Homewbat improved, but the
quotation for three months' bank bills is not more than S\4, per
cent. The weekly Bank of England statement is very catisfactory, the proportion of reserve to liabilities having risen to
the somewhat high point of nearly 48 per cent. The note circulation has fallen off, while the supply of bnllion has been
augmented by |30S,341. The Bank rate remains at 4 per cent,
and there is certainly more prospect of its being lowered than
of an eady return to higher quotations.
The foreign exohanr;e3 keep favorable to ns, and the supply

to the present time the receipts into the Excheqaer show only
a small increase over last year, notwithstanding the looreased
income tax. The expendltare has, however, been augmented,
there being an increase of nearly £2,000,000 for the army tad
navy. The expenditure going on in those services, and espedally in the latter, is very heavy, bat it has probably been
justified by the recent events in nonneotion with Bgypt.
The weather continues nnpropitlous for the farming interests, and it is impossible to proceed with the nsual agricultural
work. It is said, however, that in spite of the fickle weather,
autumn-sown wheat looks well in certain localities. Farmers
have been threshing wheat rather more freely of late, bat the
operation is impeded by the weather, and the condition of the
produce is still far from satisfactory. Choice wheats are In

policy will be observed for some time to come. The situation
cannot be said to be one of complete confidence. Becent failures
Btill exercise some influence, notwithstanding that the tin plate
trade is one of small dimensions, or, rather, is carried on only by
a few firms.
The leading characteristic of last year's mercantile operations was that it was attended by small profits, though
the aggregate business done was larger than in 1881. The
extent of our trade will no dcubt suffer no diminution in the
current year ; but competition being keen, profits are not likely
to^be augmented. The period of large profits has evidently
passed away, and it is doubtful if it ever returns. Short
credits or cash payments are becoming more the rule
but
they should tend to promote a more healthy condition of
things, as heavy risks are less likely to be incurred.

with an extension of the St. Louis & San Francisco southward
through the Indian Territory, SO as to form one line from St.
Louis to Houston, Texas. The Morgan Compauj' also owns
almost the entire capital of the Gulf West Texas & Pacific
Railroad, extending from Indianola northwestward 70 miles;
also a. short road between Houston and Clinton, on Galveston
Bay; thus controlling altogether about 850 miles of road ia
Texas, or 1,100 miles in Louisiana and Texas.
It has been reported tliat Mr. Gould was asked to .ioia in the
purchase, but declined to do so, for the reason that his interest
extended to St. Louis rather than to New Orleans. The Texas
Central road has heretofore been in antagonism with the Gould
roads in Texas, but the transfer to the Southern Pacific syndicate is probably satisfactory to him, as the Atlantic & Pacific
and St. Louis & San Francisco are owned jointly by the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific managers, and the competitive through business of the Texas Pacific and Southern PaThere is every reason to supcific is pooled under agreement.
po.se, therefore, that the Texas Central and its feeders will be
worked in harmony with the rest of these two great Southwest
systems, which now divide between them that great triangular

and El Paso form the salient angles in the common Wall Street

In railroad bonds there has been a very fair business at prices
no stronger than heretofore, and sometimes at lower figures.
It seems probable that tho first revival of activity at the Stock
Exchange will be accompanied by an advance in the prices of
good bonds on those railroads having an established business
and tolerably certain income.
Railroad and MisccUaneons Stocks.— The week has been
broken by the occurrence of a holiday on Tluirsdav, and up
to the close on Wednesd.ij' the market showed but little
healthy animation. To-day there was a better tone and more
business, and, as all tilings go by comparison, it was one of the
strongest days that has been experienced in the dulnessof the
past fortnight. One failure of a respectable firm of stockbrokers was announced to-day, but it had no general significance, as the misfortune occurred through the embezzlementR
some time ago of a clerk. The annual reports now coming

Chicago & Alton Railroad.
(For the year ending December 31, 1882.)
In the statement of bonds outstanding Dec. 31, 1882, the in«ome bends amounting to $1 ,083,000, due Jan. 1,1883, are excluded,
having been nearly all paid by tl;e application of funds proTided for that purpose before the close of the year 1882. The
remainder of the mortgage bonds of the Joliet & Chicago Railload Company, assumed by the company under the terms of
the hase of the Joliet & Chicago Railroad— amounting to
^06,000, oa which the company has heretofore paid interest
«t the rate of 8 per cent per annum matured July 1, 1882, and
were redeemed and canceled. Sixty-nine thousand dollars of
the 6 per cent sinking fund gold bonds of the company have
been redeemed and canceled on account of sinking fund during
the year. The total amount of mortgage bonds redeemed and
canceled daring the year, including the income bonds above
referred to, is $1,458,000. The total amount of Chicago &
Alton common stock issued and sold to shareholders during the
—
jrear
is
$1,323,200.
report says " The replacement of iron rails with steel
rails of sixty and seventy pounds per yard on all our main lines,
including first, second, third and fourth main tracks, has been
completed. Our company has now only 129 miles of branch
lines tracks laid with iron rails.
" The construction of a new line of railway from Godfrey to
Hilton, passiug through Upper Alton, which was in progress at
the date of our last annual report, has been completed, and
was opened for traffic on the 15tli of July last. This is what is
«ommonly called a 'loop line,' 7 40-100" miles in length with
maximum grades of less than 32 feet per mile. The old line
between the same points is nine miles in length and embraces
« grade of 90 feet per mile for a distance of about 2J6 miles.
This exceptionally steep grade has for many years been the
floarce of increased cost in operating the Alton Division of our
road. The two lines are now operated as a double track, and
not only avoid the necessity for helping engines heretofore
meed, but also facilitate the prompt and safe passage of trains.
new iron bridge, 600 feet in length, upon stone abutments
and piers, has been built over the Kiinkakee River 01 the line
ttK. tie Illinois River Railroad, to i-eplace'ft structure of wood.
At other points on our lines twelve spans of iron have been
erected to replace wooden bridges."

"During the past year the extended debenture loan of
$106,197, the convertible debenture loan of $41,550, and the
Greenwood first mortgage loan of $140,000, amounting in all to
$287,740, were paid at maturity. These payments, and the
purchases and loans above recited necessitated some increase of
the floating debt, which, after deducting cash assets, no at

$740,000 of its consolidated seven per cent bonds, $306,000

"The control of additional freight-producing territory, by
the purchases and loans above recited, has so strengthened our
position with regard to the coal trade, which, on account of the
geographical position of our railroads, must always be our
chief source of revenue, that it is not thought necessary to
make further investments in that direction.
have reason
to look for a steady increase of business and of net earnings
from the region now tributary to our roads, and this should
enable us to fund our floating debt and refund such part of the
loans maturing this year and next as we may desire by the sale
of stock, or the issue of bonds at a lower rate of interest. The
(sonversion of these loans and of the stock of the Nesquehon-
We
ing Valley Hailroad Company will effect a great reduction in
our fixed charges, and will strengthen ver^ much the position
of our stock as a reliable dividend-paying investment."

The Spring Brook Railroad Company, owning about nine
miles of railroad which develops a large timber district near
Scranton, being unable to pay the principal or interest of a loan
made by this company in 1874 for the purpose of aiding them
to extend their railroad, have leased their property to us.
By
this agreement we can apply the net earnings of their road to
the payment of their indebtedness, and by having possession of
this feeder we can throw a large amount of business on our
main lines of railroad.
"During the year an opportunity occurred of purchasing a
coal property known as the Kentucky Bank Lands, situated
about five miles west of Tamaqna, containing coal of fiiie
quality, and of as great amount per acre as our Summit lands.
Estimating their prodnctive capacity at the same rate per aerrt
as that taken for adjoining tracts in Mr. Harris' report on the
Reading coal lands, made in 1880, they will more than replace
all the coal taken from our property since it was first opened.
The purchase covered 884 acres, which cost $22fi,089, about ihamount which our sinking fund receives in three and a half
years from the charge of ten cents per ton of coal mined. By
the operation of this charge the valuation of our coal land-",
which stood on our books January 1, 1873, at $5,874,196, being
at the rate of .f 816 per acre for 7,201 acres, has been redac-d,
so that, including the Kent and McLean purchase in 1874 of
175 acres, and the Kentucky Bank Lands, and deducting 207
acres as worked out, whieu is a full allowance for the lands exhausted by mining in the ia.st ten years we had January!,
1883, 8,0,',3 acres of equally valuable land charged at $5,810,058, or $722 per acre.
" In order to secure for the Lehigh ft Susquehanna Railroiid
the coal tonnage from the Lehigh Luzerne Coal Company's
lands, which was about to pass under the control of another
railroad company, a loan of $70,000 was made, secured by the
transfer of eleven thousand shares of stock, being 55 per cent
of the total issue. The loan is for three years, but the tonnsge
from these lands is perpetually bound by contract to pass to

market over our lines of railroad."

"In accordance with the announcement made in your last annual repcit, your board purchased at par the entire share capital of the Union Railroad Company, of Baltimore, costing
^600,0CO. Under the terms of the contract only a portion of
the amount was required to be paid in cash, but it was deemed
advisable to anticipate the payment of the notes given for the
balance of the purchase-money, all of which have now been
paid. To provide the means therefor, and in accordance with
the authority given at your last annual meeting, the share capital was increased during the past year from $5,842,000 to

It also owns the Barnwell Railway, nine

the 205 miles of main line, 125 are laid with steel rails, and the
remainder, excepting about 12 miles now beinj,' lelaid with steel
rails, is in excellent order.
The Camden Branch, 38 miles, and
the Barnwell Railway, are in satisfactory condition. Two thousand tons of steel rails have been bought and will be laid in
1883. This will leave lefs than 60 miles of iron rails in the maia
line, none more than slightly worn, aud thereafter purchases of
rails will be very light.

Iron and Steel Rail Prndnction. The Secretary of the
American Iron and Steel Association reports that returns have
been received from all the mills in the United States which
rolled iron and steel railway bars in 1882. The total production of iron and steel rails last year was 1,683,794 net tons,
being a filling off as compared with 1881 of 153,306 tons. Of
the entire out-put 1,438,155 tons were Be.'^semer steel rails,
227,874 tons iron rails, and 22.765 tons open hearth steel rails.
The five leading rail-making States were Pennsylvania, which
produced 850,908 tons; Illinois. 362,250 tons; Ohio, 113,806 tons;
155,021 tons;
and Missouri,

Mr. Farrington said the local government is ready to accept
the settlement and will be prepared to pay the obligations. "We
will create no other debt, and this old debt will not be a first
mortgai^e simply, but the only mortgage. There is a prosperous future bef>ire us which warrants us to say this. We cannot
ask you to take anything else than the Flippin compromise,
which you accepted in 1S77." He explained that the taxable
basis isabont $14,000,000. The debt under the settlement will
be less than !?3,000,000: The Baltimore creditors listened attentively to the siatem-n:s.
U was moved "tliJit it is the sense of
this meeting that the proposition be accepted."
This was
adopted unanimously.

regard to the new
loan for $3,000,000 negotiated on collateral trust bonds there
has been a claim made that some of the securities thus pHt in
trust were covered by the second consolidated mortgage. TheNew York Herald says: "The list of collateta'.s back of the
new loan is headed with the 10,000 shares constituting the
capital stock of the Blossburg Coal Company— $1,000,000, par.
In his last annual report President Jewett notes the pnrchasa
of this property on behalf of the Erie company, 'after considerable negotiation,' for the sum of $2,000,000. Of thisamount $1,285,000 was paid in cash, and the Grand Opera
House property was put in at a valuation of $713,000. Thii
Blossburg purchase is understood to have been made virtually
from Mr Gould, who owned all or nearly all the shares." * *
'Of the fifceen lo!sof recurities named as collateral for the new
loan eight are these of properties named in the second consolidated mortgage— namely. Hillside Coal & Iron Company (10,000
shares). Long Dock Company (8,000 shares), Buffalo New York
& Erie 5,759 shares). Northwestern Mining & Expre.ss Company
(5,000 shares), Paterson & Newark (499,000 shares , Newburg &
N. Y. R R. (169,000 shares), Newark & Hudson River ($250,000
bonds), Buffalo Bradford & Pittsburg ($185,000 bond3\"
Mr. Jewett stated that the company has a right to use these
stocks and bonds as collateral intrust for this loan, and that the
mortgage gives that right.

the three months October 1 to December 31:

MemphU City Debt. The Baltimore 8an reports that a
committee of gentlemen from Memphis, Tean , authorized to
offer to the creditors of that ciry terms for a compromise of its
debt, met Baltimore holders of those securities this week. The
Memphis committee were Hon. D. P. Hadden, President of that
taxing district: Judge H. T. Ellett, Wra. M Sneed and Wm. M.
Farrington. Mr. Sneed, ( n behalf of the Memphis committee,
explained the provisions of a bill pending in the Tennessee
Legislature "embodying the proposed Settlement of the debt
of the city of Memphis and taxing district of Shelby County."
The plan is substantially that of the Flippin compromise of
1877, which was to fund the debt at 50 per cent of the principal and 6 per cent interest. The interest for the first three
years shall be 3 Der cent, and for the next three years 4 per
cent, but the difference to make up 6 par cent is to bi capitalized and added to the principal debt, svhiuh will make each

offered to pay 42 and the interest from September last, when
Mr. Gould and his associates bougjit the stock, but to pay it in
the 4 per cent bonds of his road at par. Mr. Perkins declined
to give a bond at a higher rate of interest and the deal terminated. Mr. William iJowd, the Pre.sident of the Hannibal &
St. Joseph, said that the extension from Qaincy to Chicago, a
distance of 247 miles, would be built. He estimated the cost at
$20,000 a mile and with equipment, $25,000. He said that the
road, which is surveyed, could be built in a year.

7'55c. for October; mild grades have most of the time been
quiet, though Laguayra sold quite freely a few days ago, and
to-day there was more demand for Maracaibo. Rice has been

Cuba refining has sold at 30c. for 50 deg. test. Spices have been
quiet. Tea has been quiet but steady, foreign fruits have
been moderately active and steady. Raw sugar has been firmer
and to-day large sales of centrifugal were made; the Cuban

advance in refined, has given importers increased confidence ;

The downward tendency of

prices for cotton for future
noted at the close of our last report, continued
throughout Saturday and Monday. There was nothing to
support values. The receipts at the ports remained large, there
was letter weather for field work at the South, the floods in the
great tributaries to the Mississippi River had began to abate,
and foreign advicas were not encouraging. But on Tuesday
the approacli of a close holiday, together with the considerable
decline that had taken place from tlie highest figtire of the
previous week, prompted a demand to cover contracts upon
whicli there was a slight advance. But on Wednesday leading operators for the rise were reported to be selling to close
up accounts and offerings were materially increased, under
wnich the improvement of- Tuesday was more than lost. Yesterday was a holiday and our Cotton Excliange was closed.
To-day the opening was slightly lower, in sympathy with
Liverpool accounts, but this decline was recovered, and at the
close, in the absence of free offerings, there was some advance.
Cotton on the spot has met with very little demand except
from home spinners. Quotations were reduced l-16c. on Monday. To-day the market was dull. Middling uplands closing
at 10 3-16c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 375,800
Mies. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
2,243 bales, including
for export, 1,615 for consumption,
in transit. Of the above, 600 balt-s
6S8 for speculation and
were to arrive.
The following are the official quotations for
each day of the past week.

Receipts from the Plantations. The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are sometimes misleading, as they, are made up more largely one year
than 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 inquiriea we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
consumption;
Southern
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.
