As relates to the volume of agricultural produce, the
of
railroads had, as a rule, a large tonnage pretty nearly the
whole year through. The crop of wheat in the States of
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, was very short, while in 1882
it had been quite large, so it happens that on the railroads
traversing this territory earnings have heavily fallen oS
since the harvest, and nearly all the lines that show a
decrease for the year in the table below are in that district.
There was also a reduction in the yield of corn in
certain districts, but this had comparatively little effect
upon railroad earnings, since only a small amount of the

This has been quite a broken week, and nothing has transThe

more prominent feature seems to be that the money market is
closing with a very easy appearance, and that there are, in
consequence, strong indications of low rates of discount early

have not, up to the present time, been in any way pressing.

Tenders were opened on Tuesday at the L mdon & WestminBank for £4.837,500 Cape 5 per cents, and the applications
amounted to £6.500,000. Tenders at £98 Is. received in full,
and those at £98 Os. 6,d.. about 25 per cent. The minimum
price fixed was 98.
The loan for New South Wales was for £3,000.000, and was a
very complete success, the applications reaching a total of
Tenders at £100 13j. received in full, and those at
£7,593,100.
£100 12s. 6d 96 per cent. The minimum price was par.
The money market has been comparatively quiet, and the
rate for short loans is not more than 3 per cent. Time bills
have been in some demand for he Continent, and, consequently,
the market has lost a little of its firmness.
The wheat trade is in a very inactive condition, and the only
business doing is to supply actual wants. Stocks are large, and
importations fully equal to our wants. There is no material
change in prices.
The Board of Trade returns for November and the eleven

show any distinct change in the position of our trade but
there is an increase of about £1,600,000 in the value of our importations for the month, and of £25,200,000 for the year.
This is evidently an indication of the great wealth of the
country, more especially as there is a large increase in raw materials, such as wool, jute and hemp.
There is, however, a
large falling off in the imports of cotton. As far as our export
trade in British and Irish produce and manufactures is concerned, there is a small falling off, both for the month and year
but our re-exports have, in many cases, been large, especially of

The Treasury balance at the Bank of England now reaches
the prominent total of £3,420,000, which is larger than in any
previous recent year, A large amount of imperial tax is due on
January 1, and the annual financial statement is being looked

Iron and Steel Production In 18S3.— Secretary Svrank of
the American Iron & Steel Assnoiation, estimates last year's
production of pig-iron at 4,623,323 tons. The consumption of
pig-iron has been about 4,948,323 tons. The year was commenced with 383.635 gross tons of domestic pig-iron unsold.
There were imported during the year 325,000 gross tons, all of
which has gone into consumption. Adding the estimated production of 4,623,323 gross tons to the estimated importation,
and taking no acoouot of the balanced stock at the baginning
ind end of the year, the total, 4,948,323— the year's consumption is found to be the result. The production of steel rails
in 1883 has fallen oflf below that of 1882. There were also made,

entitled to subscribe for additional stock at par in the proportion of one share for every five shares standing to their credit
at the closing of the books on January 8, payable ir. five installments of ten dollars each, the first payment to be made between
the 16th day of January and the 15th day of February, 1884,
after which date no subscriptions will be received. The subsequent installments will be due and payable during the months
of April, July and October, 1884, and January, 1885, but
they may be anticipated at any installment period. The
object of this increase of capital, which amounts in all to
$5,526,639, is to pay for important construction that has taken
place, to complete other work that is in progress, and to provide better terminal facilities in Buffalo, as well as to reimburse
the company for about $1,300,000 of consolidated mortgage

Recently a number of the largest creditors came in under the
provisions of the Funding Act, of whom two were plaintiffs in
test case.s which were appealed to the United States Supreme
Court, and the funding by the.se parties dismisses their suits
and forces otheis who do not fund prior to January 31 to seven
years' litigation to reach the same position before the courts
now abandoned by these parties. Two payments of interest on
the new bonds have already been made, and provisioa for
future interest has been made by the State Legislature,
Mexican Central.— The directors of the Mexican Central
Railroad Company have called the last 10 per cent upon the
No. 4 subscription, payable January 15, at which time the flr.st
two bonds upon the No. 4 blocks will be delivered. At the
game time the bond premium promised subscribers will be
delivered.
The No. 4 subscription was for $7,600,000 in bonds.
The Boston Herald says "Fiiends of the property figure the

New Yorli & New England.— A meeting of the directors of
the New York & New England Railroad was held at the company's office in Boston on January 7, and twelve members were
present.
Mr. C. P. Clark, receiver, presented his resignation as
president, and Mr. Eustace C. Fitz was chosen in his stead.
The following resolutions were unanimously adopted

of the board that immediate .anplication be made te the legisl.atures ot

was also voted that Messrs. Fitz, Higginson, French, Metcalf and Kingsbury be a committee of the board to present and
urge the needful measures before the legislatures of the several
It
States.
It was also voted that in the opinion of the board the welfare
of the property demanded the immediate -completion of the
double track to Willimantic, and measuies to insure its completion early in the spiing should be taken.
It was also the opinion of the board that the floating debt
should be paid at once through the receivership, if the consent
of the court can be obtained, and pending legislative consent
to the use of the second mortgage bonds for the purpose. It is
said that arrangements are in progress which will result in th&
money being forthcoming.

Hard times forced the abandonment of the Hartford & Harlem

Gould sent Mr. Connor to Boston, and while Mr. Connor's
paper in Boston was attacking New York & New England, Connor was buying for Mr. Gould to average. Upon the recent
boom to 37, Mr. Gould sold out entirely, and then resigned

people remain in the New York & New Eigland directory, and
assisted in the raising of the $330,000 to buy the January

Southern Pacific Land Grant.— A special meeting of the
House Committee on Public Lands was held Jan. 10, that the
members might hear the arguments of the attorneys of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company on the question of forfeiting the Texas Pacific territorial land grant now claimed by the
Southern Pacific Company as assignees. John T. Harris appeared for the company:, and asked for an extension of time,
and the time for hearing the attorneys was postponed until
Monday next.
Trunk Line Fool Iowa Pool — iStc. —There is unusual commotion among the railroad companies east and west over the adjustment of rates, and great irregularity seemh to prevail. The
—
situation is not calculated to inspire confidence. At the meeting of the Joint Executive CommHtee at Mr. Fink's office in New
York, on Jan. 10, the result of a long discussion of the situation
between the managers was an order to restore east-bound freight
rates to the basis from which they were lowered a week ago,
viz.: From Chicago to New York, 35 cents per 300 pounds on
provisions, 30 cents on grain, 40 cents on bulkraeats, and 35
cents on live hogs. The reduction had been 10 cents from these
figures.
The restored rates are to go into effect on next Monday, but it is a part of the order that if the cutting continues
the Commissioner shall order another immediate reduction.
The New York Central Railroad reduced its local eastbound freight rates about 25 per cent. Similar reductions have
been made by the West Shore & Buffalo road.

West and North have been detained by deep
snow, and with a return of milder weather as the week cloaef
serious Hoods are threatened in the Ohio Valley. 8 me important failures have occurred, yet it is very generally agreed
that the new year opens promisingly for general business. An
unexpected improvement is reported from nearly all directions-
Large disbursements for interest this month undoubtedly
had a favorable influence, but much is also due to low prices of
staples and reduced expense accounts. The severe winter is a
promise of an early spring and a good growing season.
The speculation here in provisions has been quite moderate
during all the week, but the market has been sustained until
to-day by tife strength of the Western advices. In Chicago
there have been heavy purchases for a rise, which to-day were
realized upon; this occasioned a break there and exerted a simLard futures declined 10 points here and

Dulness and depression have been the leading features of the
spECulation in cotton for future delivery at this market for the
week under review, with not alittle playing at cross purposes.
The movement of the crop has continued to be very small, not
only at the ports, but at the interior towns of the South. Late
telegrams and letters from the various sections of the cottongrowing region, liowever, speak of very bad roads, the effect

Kboeipts from thb Plantatiohs.— 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 wgely one year
Chan 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 course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; 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 ont-porta.

NEW
—The attention of
cotton mantitacturera is invited to the
card, on the last page of the Chronicle, of Messrs. Payne,
Viley_& Co., cotton commission merchants, at Louisville, Ky.
This fli'iii has been in business for a number of years, receiving'
cotton from the South on consignment, and they have just now
determined to change in a measure the character of their business by giving special attention to the requirements of Northern
manufacturers. For this purpose they will have on hand or
under their control at Louisville and other Southern points,
from which they vfill ship direct, a supply of all grades
of cotton adapted for spinners' wants, and, immediately on
the receipt of orders can ship to any point indicated.
The firm has secured the services of Mr. H. V. Sanders,
late of Cincinnati, who will give special attention to this
Department. They will do nothing in futures and do not
seek consignments of cotton from producers, but will specially
consult the wants of spinners and endeavor to fill orders to
their entire satisfaction.
The house is well known in Louisville
and has for its New York correspondents the United States
National Bank and Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co.
Jute Binrs, BAtKiiNo, &c.— The market has been rather «iuiet
since our last, no inquiry being reported beyond jobbing orders
and these are light at the moment. Prices are unchanged,
dealers not bein^ willing to accept less than quoted figures for
the parcels moving, and the prices at the close are 9Mc. for 1^
lbs , 9Mc. for IM lbs. , 10%@lO>6c. for 2 lbs. and Ili^c. for standard grades. Butts are not active, only a few jobbing transactions
being reported. The feeling is rather firm, however, and sellers
are quoting 2 5-16@2%c. for paper grades and 2 9-16®2'4c. for
bagging quality.
OOMPAKATIVB PoRT RSOBIPTS AUD DaILT CBOP MoVBMBNT.—
comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate
as the weeks in different years do not end on the same day of
the month. We have consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader may
constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
