week Las made but lit'le history, events of
public importance being levy and, with one or two excep¬
tions, not unexpected. Following the succession of dis¬
agreeable surprises which have of late so deeply disturbed
confidence, this condition has been peculiarly wholesome.
All business circles have felt its quieting influence, and
though there has been no striking change in commercial
or financial aff iirs, the better feeling
almost everywhere
prevailing, proves how iiifecdous the Wall street fever is.
Too much, however, must not be predicated on the changed
tone.
Any revival, to be permanent, will be of slow
growth, and until the evidences of health are more
assured it would be unsafe to anticipate events.
.In the meantime it is seen, and more and more clearly
each succeeding day, how much in the future depends
upon Congressional action.
The week has been conspicu¬
ous for the prominence which circumstances have given to
such agency.
For instance, Mr. Morrison's tariff bill has
suggested anew the qiestion of tax reduction, and its
urgency as a relief to the industrial situation has been
peculiarly enforced by the publication of the first of

CHRONICLE.
THE
only last year (when the Western roads, for
reasons stated, formed the
only exception to the rule),
but during every year since 1879—the total increasing
uninterruptedly.
In the light of such conditions, it will not, we think, be *
denied that the exhibit below is more satisfactory than
there was reason to suppose it would be.
The decrease is
small—hardly more than nominal in amount—the falling
off of course being largest on roads affected by poor crops,
either grain or cotton.
It is to be remembered that a
loss thus resulting is less serious than a falling off in other
items of freight, since it has no element of permanency, a
poor crop generally giving place to a better in a succeeding
season.
Great difficulty is experienced, however, in secur¬
ing particulars with regard to the sources of traffic, since
'full details are hardly ever funished by the railroads. Still,
it is reasonably clear that in many cases the secret of
decreased receipts is not explainable from any one cause.
Such roads, for instance, as the Grand Trunk of Canada,
the Flint
Pere Marquette, the Cincinnati Washington &
Baltimore, and the St. Louis & Cairo, show somewhat
smaller passenger earnings than in 1833.
Iti that fact
we have evidence that the prevailing-depression
in busi¬
ness
is not without its effect upon railroad receipts*

gains $108,000 this year, which is $33,000
more than its loss of a year ago.
The Chicago & North¬
western gains $105,000, but this falls far short of its loss
of 1883, which was $287,000.
The St. Paul & Omaha
records an increase of $31,000 ; the decrease in 1883 was
only half that amount. The Burlington Cedar Rapids &,
Northern suffered a pretty heavy diminution in 1883—
over $55,000.
This year it has lost $1,000 additional dur¬
ing the first three weeks. The St. Paul & Duluth has
receipts a trifle above those of January, 18b3, which
in turn were greater than those of 1882.
The St.
Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba, which for some time has
recorded a heavy falling off in earnings on account of the
opening of the Canadian Pacific and the diminished
immigration into Manitoba, this month suffers a loss
of
only $40,000 ; in January, 18? 3, the gain wa3

It will be noticed that the increase in receipts is almost
wholly at Cnicago, to which point Northwestern roads
carry the bulk of their grain traffic.

Turning to the roods between Chicago and the Ohio
River, the record shows quite generally lower earningsthis year.
The Chicago & Eistorn Illinois has a decrease
of about $13,000, iti addition to the decrease of $7,000 in
Januarjq 1883. The Illinois Central has a decrease for the
month of $187,000, but this includes the Southern line, on
which there is reason to believe, as we shall show further
bslow by the cotton movement, the greater part of the
decrease occurred.
On the main line last year there was
a decrease of
$32,058, while the Southern line gained
$151,105, making the* net increase $118,717, or nearly
$70,000 less than the loss 11is yea:*. Although, as stated,
ike decrease can be explained by reference to the cotton

failing off at New Orleans tells us where the Illinois
and why it is likely that the
Southern division, and not the Northern division, of this
road sustained the greater part of the decrease in
earnings shown above. This line delivered 60,914 bales of
cotton at New Orleans, in January, 1SS3, and only 24,258
bales, in January, 1884, or 00 per cent less. The New
Orleans & Northeastern (recently opened) delivered as
much as 1 G:517 bales, part of which may have been taken
from the Illinois Central line.
The diminished receipts
of cotton at Mobile account for the falling off in the
less favorable traffic con¬
ditions existing in Michigan, that S:ate having suffered a
reduction of its yield of cereals this year, and the depres¬
earnings of the Mobile & Ohio, but this falling off
sion in business operating against the lumber interests of amounts to only $30,(>Q0, while in 1SS3 there was a gain of
the peninsula.
We have three Michigan roads in our $50,000. Despite the contraction in the movement, the

All these lines had exceedingly monthly totals, the idea being to make the aggregate of

REVIEW OF THE
COTTON TRADE FOR THE YEAR 1883.
[CONDUCTED BY THOMAS ELLISON.]
Although during the past year a larger business was done
than in any previous year, the result was very far from being
satisfactory. Spinners did fairly well in the first few months,
but as the year advanced their profits gradually diminished,
until in some instances they altogether disappeared. Mann*
facturers have done badly throughout* and towards the close
the situation became so unbearable that many looms were
stopped—say some 50,000 to 60,000, out of a total of 550,000 In
the United Kingdom. The opening and closing prices of mid¬
dling upland, 32’s cop twist, and 8}4 lb. shirtings, were as fol¬

well stocked that the
production could only be sold by being
forced off at low, and mostly uriremunerative, prices.
There
were always more sellers than
buyers, and the latter had,
therefore, the greater voice in the fixing of prices.
In reference to the exceptionally unsatisfactory condition of
the manufacturing section of the industry, it is a matter of
common observation that this department of the trade is the
first to feel the approach of a period of depression ; in fact,
even when there is a large and apparently remunerative busi¬
ness going on, and when the spinning mills are declaring good
dividends, manufacturers frequently complain that their special
section is doing very badly.
For the -past two years, for
instance, the market reports have been continually telling us
that though the position of spinners was fairly satisfactory,
that of manufacturers was not only the reverse of this, but was
going from bad to worse. The explanation is very simple. In
the first place, it costs considerably less to put up an increased
number of looms than it does to bring into operation an equiva¬
lent number of spindles, while it ak'o requires a much smaller
amount of 11 >ating capital to work a weaving shed than it does
to conduct a spinning mill of corresponding dimension*. More¬
over, weaving can be profitably conducted on a much smaller
scale than is possible in the case of spinning.

Import.—Although the last American crop exceeded the pre¬
cue by over one and a half million bales, the import into
Great Britain in 1883 was 15.0,760 bales larger than in 1882.
This is in a great measure due to the fact t Lug a larger quantity
than usual of the last crop was received before the close of
1882 ;
the import in the last three months of that year being
862,050 bales against only 705,260 in 1S83. From Egypt there
came an increase of 37,450 bales, of which 28,210 came in the
last three mon-lis of the year:
The Brazils figure for a de¬
crease of 10,860 bales : and there is a reduction of 0,700 bales in
the an ivals from Peru, West Indies, &e.
The large speculative
business done in Surats in 1882 attracted superabundant sup-'
plies to Liverpool m that year at the, expense «.f the Continent*
to which a large part of the excess eventually .found its way.
In 1833 the trade fell back to its normal channels, and the import
of East Indian cotton accordingly showed a decrease of 363,760
bales compared with 18S2, against an increase of 514,510 bales
in the latter year over 18S1.

In
this way the total deliveries of all kinds in the first three

Prospects.
expressed in previous reports, we have hitherto regarded
iles as rather a minimum estimate of the probable
out-turn of the American crop.
At the moment it certainly
looks as if this figure would not be reached. For this reason
there has recently been an almost universal disposition, on the
part of those who believed in over six million bales, to reduce their
expectations to the neighborhood of five and three-quarter
million bales, or less. The consensus of opinion on this point is
altogether too important to be. entirely disregarded ; but at
the same time it should not be forgotten that on previous
was 429,850 bales.
Stocks.—The stocks in the ports at the close of the year, occasions the majority have often been wrong. The interior

so erratic that tli-y have not afforded any reliable due

2,310 West Indian, a id a decrease of 180 Egyptian and 1G,030 size of the crop. Down to the end of December they pointed
to a much larger yield than could possibly be calculated upon,

Deliveries.—The deliveries to consumers amounted to in view of the “ short crop’7 tenor of the advices received from
3,411,180 bales, against 3,032,080 bales in 188?, showing an every respectable house in the fc’oufh ; fdi.ee then they have

can be kept up for the remainder

this figure during the last few weeks of the old year, owing to
the diminished demand for yarn occasioned by the stoppage of
about 50,000 looms in Northeast Lancashire.

present it probably does not exceed 134,000 to 135,000 bales, as
the 50,000 looms stopped represent a week’s consumption of
about 5,000 bales of cotton. • This may be recovered later on,
but in the meantime 137,000 to 138,000 bales is a full estimate
of the
probable rate of consumption for the remainder of the
current
season.

merest
figures account for the unremunerative character of
manufacturing branches of the business during the past
two years, which has at last led to a forced curtailment in the
rate of production.
But for this circumstance the diminished
supply of the raw material would not be regarded with such
philosophical indifference as it is at present by thos^ imme¬
diately interested ; and although cotton looks strong statis¬
tically, its strength may be frittered away during the course of
the season by the action of other causes quite as potent, though
not so patent, as figures.
With an American crop of 6,000,000 bales, therefore, we might
not see any very important permanent change in prices, though,
of c >urse, we should witness numerous fluctuations arising out
of the varying moods of public opinion; but no d*>ubt more
buoyancy would be witnessed if it should become apparent that
the crop will not exceed 5,750,000 bales, though even in this
event a great deal will depend upon the extent and duration of
the present financial crisis in America, and upon the extent to
always more or less a matter of the
giv>ss work.
We estimated the imports for the first
nine months of last year at 238,000 bales, and they came to
279,000. This year we place them at 250,000, as some decrease
is expected. From Smyrna, &c., we may get 20,000 bales, as
against 19,000 last year, and from the West Indies, &c., 50,000
bales, against 52,000 bales.
A recapitulation of the foregoing figures affords the following
comparison with the particulars for the previous two years, in

CHRONICLE.
Business iu the wool trade
has been resumed in the manufac¬
the same lines which prevailed
during the latter period of 18S3, and in no quarter does the
turn-over appear to show symptoms indicating any restriction
in the rate of consumption.
Margins" of profit, however, still
remain exceedingly narrow, and the characteristics of the trade
generally exhibit those hand-to-mouth conditions which, if
likely to show promptly the effect of the pressure of any sur¬
plus supply of raw material, would probably equally readily
respond to the inllu-mce of an improving demand. In the
coarse-wool market there is reason to believe that I lie higher
scale of consumption lately prevailing—which would certainly
have been before this more easily recognizable iu the quotati ms for such produce but for the considerable accumulations
of Ikiglish staple of several previous clips—still holds, but it
will be borne in mind that the home production of the current
year will be to : me extent enlarged by the increase in the
number of lambs shown by the last agricultural returns, theproduce of which, will be available for the first time dining the
much
turing districts very
on
f-u’theoming spring.
Tire trade for wheat
remains in
a
most depressed state, owing
heavy supplies offering. Prices are weaker, and it is to
further reduction is probable, failures will
become numerous. Millers are buying very .strictly, indeed to
supply actual wants.

FRIDAY,
FEBRUARY S, 1SS1-5 P. M.
The Money Market and Financial Situation.—The re-ac¬
tion of sentiment noted a week ago in connection with the
markets for securities has been to a large extent local and tem¬
It has been confined mainly to the New York market
for railway stocks and bonds, and has not been altogether
sustained without break during the week. The most signifi¬
cant feature in finances is one of a more general character, in¬
dicating some derangement of the usual monetary conditions
of other countries. The advance in rates of interest in London
to relatively higher figures than in New York has finally
brought the price of sterling exchange up to about the specie¬
exporting point, though the more potent cause behind this was
the decrease of our exports of domestic products and the con¬
sequent scarcity of commercial bills against exports.

This company is out promptly with a preliminary report of

:

accounted for by the greater length of bridges and trestles

those that have been previously laid across the Atlantic, and
are known as “ light cables.”
They will be constructed differ¬
ently from those now in use, in that the outside wrappings of
hemp are to be twisted in such a manner as to prevent any in¬
jury in the paying out. The iron armor or covering of the
present cable will also be dispensed with in the deep sea, and
only used when the ocean currents are strong and near the
shore, where the wear and tear of tide and storm is liable to
injure the cables. The composition, with the hemp that forms
the outer covering, has been found to be
impervious to the
Action of the sea water. The two cables will cost
$6,000,000,
and they are to be constructed within a year. Over 85
per cent
of the cable business is said to emanate from this
city, and by
far the larger portion of this is of a business nature, of which
the new company hopes to obtain a
large portion, as its object
is to furnish a trustworthy business cable.—N. Y. Times.

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 some¬
times misleading, as they are mae'e 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 inquiries we will add
that these figures, of com se, do not include overland receipts op
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches ihe market through the out-ports.

Within a few=days, theref jre, the market here has become de¬

there have been charges of irregularities here in several cases
in connection with the withdrawal of wheat from the ware¬

avoided by peculiar methods on the part of the owners. The

The advance has been favored,
moreover, by a decrease in the visible supply of 1,102,079
bushels. A possibility of damage, to the winter wheat through
threatened floods in the Ohio Valley has also not been without
•some influence, while a higher temperature in other portions of
the wheat belt was another fact used to manipulate the mar¬

decidedly firmer, with an
upward tendency. Leading makes of fine brown sheetings
have appreciated
per yard; some brands of wide sheet¬
ings were marked up 2% per cent, and a small advance was
made upon certain popular brands of bleached %nd colored
cottons.
On the other hand, certain staple cottons that have
been relatively too high of late were slightly reduced in price
in order to meet the market, but the general tendency was
upward. Print cloths were unsettled by a strike at a number
of Fall River mills, and almost nominal on the basis of 3%c.

There

hopeful feeling in the dry goods
trade the past week, and a fairly satisfactory business was done
in some departments.
The situation in the cotton good- m irket
has steadily improved under the influence of lessened produc¬
tion, and a s ight advance on the most staple fabrics has been
was a
more
established and maintained.
The movement
in domestic wool¬
remained
sluggish, but this caused no disappointment, as
agents are not yet quite ready to show heavy fabrics adapted
to the wants of the clothing trade.
Foreign goods have met
with rather more attention, but buyers are cautious, in view of
the possibility of a change in t he present ta: iff.
The jobbing
trade of this city was a little more active, but business at some
of the Western distributing points was seriously checked by
disastrous floods, which interrupted travel and transportation
ens
to
some
extent.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—The exports of domestics for the
week were 2,320 packages, including 1,282 to Great Britain,
401 to
93 to
Hayti, 167 to Santo Domingo, 132 to U. S. of Colombia,
Venezuela, 83 to Mexico, &c.

goods of a desirable character. Carpets
were in steady request, and some pretty good orders were
placed for heavy shirts and drawers for future delivery.
Foreign Dry Goods were in irregular demand at first hands,
but there
are
all
on
freer movement in
descriptions. Low
prices enabled importers to effect some large sales of staple
and fancy silks, and cheap mixed dress goods were in fair re¬
quest. Men’s-wear woolens continued sluggish, though some
fair orders for heavy-weights were placed for later delivery.
White goods, laces and embroideries were in fair request, but
there was only a moderate call for housekeeping linens and
handkerchiefs. Hosiery and gloves were fairly active in some
quarters, and large lines of China mattings were distributed
through the auction rooms at tolerably satisfactory prices.

Ladies’ cloths, tricots, stockinettes and
