THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
Wall street the past week has enjoyed first a heavy,
then a hesitating, and finally an active and strong market.
During all that time
home influence has been favor¬
fact, the country’s condition at present is not in
accord with long-continued depression anywhere.
An
overflowing public treasury, rapid decrease of our public
debt as the monthly statement shows, great industrial
activity as reflected in railroad earnings, testify to a
general prosperity and buoyancy which is infectious and
exhilarating. Finally, our railroad officials, not only in
the East but now in the West also, who were so lately
bristling all over for fight, seem, for the moment at
least, developing such lamb-like proclivities as to give
promise of a complete railroad millennium. Some fear the

reports of Saturday and Monday. The first actual fact

hanging over the market.
Tuesday the news was less disquieting. Perhaps the
circumstance which did most to reassure the public was
the course of the Bank of England governors in not
raising further the Bank rate, although £142,000 were
withdrawn for Paris.
This action, or rather non-action,
was interpreted as an expression of opinion that the worst
had probably passed.
On Wednesday, although the Bank
of England lost a further sum of £209,000 to Paris, and
the Bank of Germany advanced its rate of discount to 6
per cent, and of interest on advances to 7, the other news
from abroad continued rather encouraging.
Besides, the
shipment of gold to Europe, instead of being a large and
unknown quantity, turned out to be only $1,550,000
American coin and $275,000 British sovereigns and fine
bars, the sovereigns coming from Canada for that purpose.
The collapse of the Union Generale is a severe blow to
France.
Unfortunately the sufferers, as a class, are not
professional speculators.
The institution appealed to
Catholics for support ; they freely responded, not only
depositing their money to the extent of over 140,000,000
francs, but investing in the shares of the bank. The
stock was manipulated ' by reckless and unprincipled
operators in such a manner as long ago to excite appre¬
hensions of speedy collapse ; but by bold maneuvering it

While this review

in comparing with the previous year we are comparing with
an exceptionally favorable period.
Probably never before
was the merchandise excess of exports so heavy as in
December, 1880. Certain it is that the exports in that
month—$98,890,214, or at the rate of almost 1,200
record, and the
imports were smaller than they had been in any month
since October, 1879, with the single exception of Novem¬
ber, 1880, when they were only a trifle less. A fairer
comparison, therefore, would be with December, 1879,
when the balance in our favor was $21,277,042, differing
from that of December, 1881, by only about 1 £ millions.

For the year the value of our exports exhibits a falling

the falling off in the breadstuffs and provisions exports.

the year were a
little less than 27 millions smaller than in
1880, when they were very large by reason of the heavy
importations in the early part of the year. The move¬
ment in imports was just the reverse of that in exports—
the first six months recording a decrease and the last six
an increase, this being due to
the unequal distribution
between the two periods of the imports in 1880.
Though
smaller than in the previous year, the imports in 1881 were
yet very much larger than in 1879, the figures standing
thus: In 1881, $670,117,903; in 1880, $696,807,176 ; in
1879, $513,602,796. The exports also were much larger
than in 1879.
In that year their value was $765,159,825;
in the next, $889,683,422; and in 1881, $833,514,129. The

made entirely in the last
year, when the exports dwindled from
$1,042,383, in December, 1880, to only $81,293 in
December, 1881. Perhaps the railroad war may have had
something to do with this extraordinary diminution.
Boston and Philadelphia were enabled to increase their
exports of provisions, the former—which stands next to
New York in this business—by almost a million dollars.
In the breadstuffs exports every port shows a decrease
with the exception of San Francisco, and the reasons for
the gain there we have repeatedly referred to.
It may be
well, however, to call attention to the increasing import¬
ance that San Francisco at present holds in this respect.
Tn 1880, its exports of breadstuffs were only $18,585,331,
and it occupied fourth place, being preceded by New York,
Baltimore and Philadelphia.
In 1881 its exports had
risen to $33,869,281, and it was a very good third and
less than one and a-half millions behind the second, Balti¬
more.
But it is in the December figures that we see the
full importance of San Francisco at the moment.
In that
month its breadstuffs exports were of the aggregate value
of $5,100,589, while those of New York were only about
$40,000 more, and those of Baltimore only $1,582,591 alto¬
gether. But prices being so much higher in New York
than in San Francisco, these figures do not afford a cor¬
rect indication of the relative standing of these two ports
as respects the quantity exported.
Turning to the detailed statement we find that while
New York shipped to foreign ports in December only a
little more than two million bushels of wheat, the ship-,

FOREIGN INSURANCE CAPITAL.
The retiiement of four of the
weaker class of insurance
companies in this city, since 1882 opened, naturally directs
attention to the gradual increase in the number of
foreign companies openly doing business here. At the
close of
1871, there were six foreign companies,
with $8,640,224 assets reported as held here, authorize:
to do business in this State, while at the close of 1881
there were twenty-five companies with assets held here of
$30,032,716. In 1870, the business of the five foreign
companies (the Royal’s business here not being reported)
did not quite amount to 489 millions, against 2,814 millions
by 101 New York State, and 1,696 by 62 other States
companies operating in this State; in 1880, the twentytwo foreign companies did 2,181 millions of business,

Comparing the business done here by the foreign com¬
panies with that of the American, in 1880, we find that 41
of the 78 companies of this State expended more than
their income, as did 19 of the 52 Other-States companies
operating here, but only two of the 22 foreign companies
did this; the excess in case of these was but $22,316, less
than one per cent of the excess of income, while the excess
of
expenditures was about one-third and

forcibly illustrated in the case of lard.

ume there is here a diminution of over one hundred million

other two classes of companies
respectively. The New York companies averaged 0*75
per cent of premiums to risks, and the Other-States com¬
panies 1*01 per cent; the foreign ones. 0 84 per cent.
There were only two of the 78 New York companies
which averaged as much as one per cent, and one of those,
which obtained the highest rate (1-19), has since retired
from the field; 24 of the Other-States companies averaged
the highest being 1*39; 7 of the 22
foreign ones averaged one or over, and 0*65 was the
lowest, while 17 companies in tnis State averaged less
than 0*50, 0*24 being the minimum, against 0*50 in the
other-States companies.
Of course such a comparison as
this is only conclusive in a very general way, for the
average premium is determined by the average class of
risks as well as by the average obtained on each class; but
these contrasts serve to illustrate the admitted fact that
the foreign companies have been doing not only the
relatively largest part of the total business bat also the
one

successful part.

advantage to them in competition, just as
there is a preference for the larger home companies; experi¬
ence has shown clearly—what the principle of average dec]ares that a large line of risks, well distributed, is essential
to the best success.
Foreign capital has been greatly
attracted by “ underground ” business, which consists in
obtaining insurance (in foreign companies not directly rep¬

and by home companies in the division of large risks

Of course,
premiums thus paid have been sufficiently high to stimu¬
late the entry of foreign companies, because the companies
doing such business would naturally compete sharply in
rates, relying upon their non-responsibility at law in case
they should get into a corner. Hence the underground
business probably did more to attract companies hither by
simply advertising the existence of an unsatisfied demand
than by tempting in rates.
Unwise
legislation at home, shaped by the usual “pro¬
tective ” pattern, is more reasonably chargeable with
having attracted the outsiders. The root of the matter is
the insufficiency of insurance capital here to cover the
enormously concentrated values in our large cities. For¬
merly, companies of this State met that difficulty by
taking large lines and reinsuring where they could, and
regard for their own safety would obviously be a bond
that they would he reasonably careful to select substantial
companies ; but the law of June 7, 1879, forbade rein¬
surance in
companies not authorized to do business
within the State, thus greatly stimulating
underground
insurance.
At the same time, another law prohibited
any entry of
foreign companies unless they had
at least as much capital as was
required of home com
panies, $200,000, and also unless their capital was fully paid
in in cash. This was a direct thrust at the
foreign companies
whose custom is known to be to leave a
large capital on
call, and it naturally suggested to foreigners that a field
so carefully barred must be
very desirable.
But a later
law (May 27, 1880,) abandoned this restriction,
by permit¬
ting a paid-in capital of £100,000, or $500,000, to pass as
sufficient.

the Mexican officials frankly acknowledged that
the proposed line was of the utmost importance to Mexico,
from the fact of its being a coast road, as it would largely
facilitate the exporting trade of the country. Mr. De Castro
says the subvention was signed last Sunday, and he left the
same day for Vera Cruz, arriving there on the steamer Whit¬
ney.
The securing of this subvention gives the New York
Texas & Mexican Railway a continuous line from Rosenberg
Junotion to Tampico, Mexico, where it will connect with the
line to San Luis Potosi and the City of Mexico, and penetrate
one of the most productive sections of Mexico.

ample capital and labor can accomplish it, and will be com¬

prices of Government bonds have shown a decided falling off.
In consequence of the very gloomy foreign outlook in the early
part of the week, Government bonds declined about 1 per cent,
under free offerings without ready buyers, but yesterday and
to-day there has been much improvement, and prices have
sharply recovered.

regard to the Paris Bourse settlements of Saturday,
specie shipments from New York have been less this
week than was anticipated. The advance in passenger rates on
the trunk lines is another step towards increasing the earnings
of those roads and their connections, and it is therefore a good
point for the stocks.
There have been no farther developments of importance in re¬
gard to the St. Louis & Sail Francisco purchase reported, last
week, and all thus far, is supposed to be harmonious. We hear
rumors, however, of some other large operations pending, and
we should not be at all surprised if it turned out that the Union
and Central Pacific are npg dinting for consolidation, or if the
former should take the latter by purchase or lease. The rail¬
road interests of Mr. Huntington are growing immensely in the
South, and just as Mr. Gould sold out Union Pacific and went to
the Southwest, would it be strange if Mr. Huntington should go
out of Central Pacific and concentrate his capital on the Southern
roads? This maybe all premature now, but it is a suggestion

“The three items in operation expenses which show the ad¬

of way,’ ‘maintenance of equipment,’ and ‘claims and dam¬

“In 1877 the earnings from all sources fell to $6,639,845.
This was the turning point of the Illinois Central Railroad Co.
The net earnings in 1876 and 1877 averaged $2,345,000 per
annum.
For the last two years, 1880 and 1881, the average
has been $3,353,000 per annum net, the largest average for any
two consecutive years in the company’s history.
“The improvements to the line have told with great effect
since 1878.
The maximum expense for maintenance of equip¬

The minimum in 1879 was $490,923. The maximum expens* for maintenance of way (937 miles)
was $1,314,028.

Central of New Jersey.—A report from Philadelphia says
that Messrs. Gowen and Garrett have secured control of
the New Jersey Central Railroad and arranged to work it
with
their
roads.
Mr.
John
Taylor Johnston, when
asked by a Times reporter about the rumor, said he knew
nothing positively on the subject, except that certain persons
have been endeavoring for some time to get control of the
road. Who they are he did not know, nor was it known at the
company’s office. He said it could not be positively known
until the transfers of stocks
are
recorded.

Judge Shelby Hammond delivering the opinion. The plaintiff
recovered a judgment for $28,000 on bonds issued on and of the
old Memphis & Paducah Railroad, which was affirmed

pay it, and the justices all resigned to evade obeyance to the
writ.

The Savannah, Florida & Western
Savannah News says :
Railway Company is now
prosecuting the work of two important extensions on its lines,
which, when completed, ^ome time during the present year,
will greatly increase the business of the
company, and con¬
tribute immensely to the development of Southern
Georgia and
Florida.
One of these extensions is from Live Oak,
Florida, to
Rowland’s Bluff on the Suwannee River,
pointing in the direc¬
tion of Tampa Bay, and crossing, or
connecting by rail with
Cedar Keys on the route, thus opening up
a~very large and
valuable section of the State now practically without communi¬
cation with the commercial world.
The other is an extension
of the road from Bainbridge to Chattahooche, on the
Apalachi¬
cola River, where it will connect with the Pensacola & Atlantic
Railroad—now in course of construction—and complete
a con¬
tinuous line of railway from Savannah to Pensacola,

Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table ig
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each

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

in men’s-wear woolens, as the result of new business and in exe¬
cution of former orders, and the tone of the market has ex¬
hibited much firmness.
Light-weight cassimeres were taken
in sm£ll parcels for the renewal of assortments, and some ad¬
ditional orders were placed by clothiers for new
heavy cassi¬
meres and suitings; but the
supply of the latter is so limited as
yet that transactions were confined to
relatively few makes.
Plaid-back and rough-faced overcoatings were in fair demand,
but Moscow and cotton-warp beavers continued
sluggish, and
there was an irregular call for cloakings. Heavy satinets met
with considerable sales, but Kentucky jeans ruled
quiet. Dress
flannels were fairly active, but other flannels were in
light
re¬
quest, and blankets moved slowly as usual at this time of year.
Worsted dress goods were in better demand, and some
very
fair sales of staple and fancy makes were made to out-of-town
jobbers.
