Again, we fail to discover the ground for the Repub¬

progress for the three years ending with the first of last

and during the final twelve months more than double

forming an estimate of the road’s present and prospective
worth, they are entitled to any such importance as has,
been given them.
This is a very material point, and all
those interested in the property should take pains to weigh
the facts of the case carefully, and with due consideration,
in order to determine just what bearing, present or remote,
they are likely to have upon the road’s prosperity.
Of all the rumors that have been put in circulation,
enumerated above, to our mind the only one deserving of
serious consideration, and the one that has had the most
effect upon the stock, is that about the company’s floating

Concerning the future, an element of uncertainty is the
charges. The mileage directly
operated by the company has undergone great enlarge¬
ment during the last few years, and as a matter of course

RUSSIA AND GENERAL SKOBELEFFS SPEECH.
During the last week European politics have been some¬
by the unexpected speech of the Russian
General Skobeleff.
The importance attached to his
words arose out of the knowledge that Russia was irri¬
tated by the attitude of Austria in Bosnia and Herzego¬
vina, and by the encouragement and promise of support
which Austria was receiving from Germany.
The PanSclavists of Russia have always looked upon the Balkan
peninsula, peopled as it is by men of their own race, as an
outlying portion of what was destined to be the great PanSclavic empire of the future.

treatment which the Jews have been receiving and. the
comparative impotence of the law to give the unfortunate
people protection, reveal a condition of anarchy which
implies weakness on the part of the central government.
So distrustful is the Czar of his own people that he is
afraid to expose himself to the dangers of a coronation.
He is really a prisoner in his own palace.

the Bourse must naturally be expected to exercise a some¬
what permanent influence, and consequently the coarse of
affairs is watched with much anxiety. * It is, however, by no
means necessary to conclude that there is any probability of a
revival of the recent panic; but it is a well-defined axiom that
confidence, when once lost, is difficult to regain. It has always
been so in this country, and the same rule must obviously
apply to other communities. For some time to come the condi¬
tion of things in Paris must be expected to be sensitive, and
business will certainly be conducted with great caution, not
only at that financial centre, but also in Berlin, Frankfort and
Brussels. The inactivity of those markets will also naturally
have some influence here, and consequently any revival of ac¬

During the last few days they have presented a
firmer appearance, but there is no belief at present in any
progressive rise in prices.
The maintenance of the Bank rate of discount at six per
cent., and reluctance on the part of the banks to lend freely,
naturally check active speculation. Gold ha3 been

the whole kingdom being 4,331,480 quarters, against 3,682,240

quarters in 1879-80. Without reckoning the supplies of produce
furnished ex-granary at the commencement of the season, it
is estimated that the following quantities of wheat and flour
have been placed on the British markets since harvest. The

Judge Doyle, of the Common Fleas Court, at Toledo, Ohio, ren¬

suit was on equipment bonds to the amount of $600,000, which
were issu-d in 1862 by the old ToFdo A Wabash Railway Co.,
bearing interest at 7 per cent. In the subsequent consolidation
in 1865 with several other roads, forming the Toledo Wabash

original companies should be protected by the consolidated
company. -In foreclosure proceedings afterwards, under a

Market and Financial Situation.—This week
tlie attention of the whole country has been concentrated on
Wall Street. The decline in stocks has been more general and
more severe than at any time since the memorable 25th of
February, 1881, when the pressure in money was so great that
brokers paid over 1 per cent, a day, and stocks fell off precipi¬
tately. Tut that stock panic of 1SS1 was wholly artificial and
produced by the threatening legislation in Congress,

outside causes, but directly to the bearish influences operating

The report of the directors says: “Early in the year the
board determined to extend the line from Paris to a junction
with the Knoxville extension of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad, seventy miles, the estimated cost being $1,915,000.
The right of way was donated by Bourbon County, and exemp¬
tion from taxation for twenty years was guaranteed by Clark
County, and what was equivalent to $125,000 voted by Madison
County in aid of same. The grading, masonry and bridging of
this extension has been let at very fair prices. The work is
now in progress, and the board hope to have the line in opera¬
tion by July 1, 1883. At the same time the extension was
resolved on it was decided to at once rebuild the main line and
equipment, so as to be ready for the increase of business that
was expected from the new line.
For this purpose 9,000 tons of
steel rails were purchased, 12 locomotives and 250 freight cars.
Nearly one-lialf of the steel and fifty of the cars have been
delivered. The increase in gross earnings has been very satis¬
factory. The net, all we could expect in the condition of the
property and the ‘extensive improvements we were making.
After this current year the property will be in shell fine con¬
dition it can easily be operated for less than GO per cent, of its
gross earnings.
In addition to the business to be expected
from the extension we have a connection with the Chesapeake
& Ohio system, and may hope for a large traffic from that
source this current year
To provide funds for the extension,
for rebuilding the road and equipment, and for retiring the
preferred stock and the outstanding bonds, a new consolidated
mortgage for $0,600,000, or $30,000 per mile, was made, secur¬
ing that amount of 6 per cent, bonds.
“An amount was offered the stockholders of record July 31,
1881, equal to their respective holdings at 66 2-3 per cent.;
$4,131,000 were sold in this way for $2,889,333. This money is

Canadian Pacific.—The Toronto Jfail says: The report of
the Minister of Railways, laid on the table of Parliament
lately, contains a very compact statement of the present con¬
.
dition of the Pacific
Railway,
as
follows
:
Eastern Section—From Callcmlar Station the first,'fifty miles of the
lino westward has been located and the work of const ruction com¬
menced.
Central Section—Wi-st of Winnipeg the line has been located
far as Moose Jaw Creek, a distance of 404 miles from Winnipeg. Tho
company having been permitted to abandon the old location fr om Stone¬
wall to Portage la Prairie, has constructed a new line, about fifty-three
miles in length, running direct from Winnipeg to Portage la Pr airie. Oil
this central section the company has completed the grading for about 218
miles of the line and laid 103 miles of track westward out of Winnipeg,the
line from Winnipeg to Stonewall, about twenty miles, being retained by
the company as a branch. The road is open for traffic to a point on the
main line 101 miles west of Winnipeg.
From Winnipeg, southwesterly,
as
passing to the vicinity of Turtle Mountain, a braucli of about 220 miles
in length has been located. On this branch consl ruction is far advanced
for 89 miles. From Bran Ion another branch passing in a southwesterly
direction lias been located for a distance of about 195 miles. Tho com¬
pany has had a staff of engineer s employed examining the various
passes of the Rocky Mountains south of the Yellow Head Pass to ascer¬
tain if any more favorable point of passage exists than that already
determined. On the 9th of June, 1881, the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company acquired all the rights of'the Canada Central Railway, and
incorporated its works with those of the Canadian Pacific Railway sys¬
tem: Ottawa to Carleton Place, 29 miles; Carleton Place to Pembroke,
7Ob’ miles; Pembroke to Callendar Station (C. P. R. junction), 130
miles; total, 235b? miles; Carleton Place to Broekville * (branch), 45ba
miles; total, 281 miles. By this arrangement t lie main line of the Cana¬
dian Pacific Railway has been extended eastward from Callcndar Sta¬
tion to Ottawa, and its total length from Port Moody increased to about
2,804 miles.

following review of the course of the market
previous circular.
•
The market closed quietly at the end of December, but an
improvement was expected after the holidays. This anticipa¬
tion, however, was not realized. New York was feeble, and
spinners operated sparingly. The tone, therefore, was weak,
and on the 5th January the rates current showed a decline of
l-16d. on the spot and 3-32d to %d. for futures compared with
the prices quoted on the 31st December. During the subse¬
quent fortuight confidence revived, owing to the support given
by the reduced scale of receipts to the smaller crop estimates,
and to an increased demand from spinners in consequence of a
little'more activity in Manchester
The result was a good
business, accompanied by an advance of 3-16d. on the spot and
/|d. to 9-32d. for futures, near positions touching 6%d. and
distant 7d. These prices brought out sell ars and drove away
buyers, and between the 19th and 23rd January there was a
fall of l-16d. on the spot and hsd. to 5-32d. in futures. The
greater part of this fall was recovered between the 23rd and
28th of the month on the strength of the continued small
receipts at the American ports; but there was no response
from Manchester, and with liberal supplies from India and
other countries, the opinion was growing that, even with a
small American crop, there would be no scarcity of cotton.
Moreover, the absolutely stagnant, not to say* depressed,
condition of the Eastern markets created an impression

changes have taken place in
respect of both supply and consumption. The current esti¬
mates of the probable out-turn of the American crop are con¬
siderably reduced ; but the extent of the yield is still a matter
of guess-work. The result is that prices, instead of sinking to
a lower average than 6%d., have risen considerably above that
figure, while an important premium has been paid for distant
futures. The advance in price has checked business through¬
out the world ; the working up of old contracts has kept up an
appearance of activity, but the slow giving out of new con¬
tracts has made it impossible for producers to get an advance
in prices equivalent to the rise in cotton ; and already stocks
are beginning to accumulate.
The advance in prices has dis¬
closed the fact that the enormous production of the past two
seasons has not yet gone into consumption ; whereas, if prices
had remained at a low level, this circumstance would have
remained out of sight until much later in the season. In this
respect, therefore, the outlook to-day is distinctly different
from that which presented itself in October.
Moreover, while the supply of American cotton promises to
be smaller than appeared probable in October, that from India
and miscellaneous sources promises to be much larger. This
accounts for the revised estimates given in our January Annual,
which compare as follows with the figures put f Drth in October :

may safely be trenched upon to the extent of 376,000 bales, as
the quantity left will still be over 200,000 bales larger than in
September, 1881, and nearly 500,000 bales larger than in Sep¬
tember, 1880. In October we estimated the probable require¬
ments of Europe at 128,400 bales per week, but as activity
reigned in every manufacturing centre, and as prices promised
to be rather lower than in the previous season, we thought it
possible that the actual consumption might reach 129,000 bales
per week. Now, however, with the changed aspect of affairs
brought about by higher prices, and by the discovery that the
leading markets are full of stocks, it is doubtful if the rate
will exceed 128,000 bales per week, while it may be slightly

a material reduction in the rates of ocean
freights from those current last week. The Continent has
also purchased fairly.
Receipts at the West are on a more
liberal scale, and the temper of speculation appears to have
weakened ia the past few days. To-day there was a decided
decline, No. 2 red winter closing at $1 32^ for April and

'Indian corn lias shown but moderate fluctuations from day to
day, and the changes for the week are but slight. The home
demand is large. Sections of the country that usually have
corn to sell are now buyers, and it is probable that we can spare
little, if any, more for foreign export. To-day the market was
weak, with No. 2 mixed closing at 63c. for April and 6S%c. for
May.
Bye has been dull and drooping, and prime boat-loads sold
to-day at 91c. Barley has ruled pretty firm, .the stocks being
quite small, but the demand is not in any degree urgent, and at
the close the tendency is downwards.
Oats have been under
speculative control, and yesterday advanced materially when
the general market was weak.
