from India have been upon a large scale. The quality
and condition of Indian wheat have improved considerably of
late years, and the produce is now very valuable for mixing
purposes. Indian growers and merchants have been holding
the crop gathered in this year, in the expectation that by so
doing it could be marketed to better advantage in this country,
or on the Continent but the progressive and almost uninterrupted decline in values in the British markets during the past
autumn has thus far frustrated their plans, and large supplies
of produce are now coming forward, and are arriving freely at
our ports. Russia has, for some weeks past, been supplying
some of the Continental markets freely, and our own receipts
from that country have been upon a larger scale. The bulk of
the Indian supplies has been forwarded therefore to this country,
and has helped temporarily to raise the supply above the
demand. The lower range of prices current, however, and the
prospect which now exists of severer weather, are calculated
to restrict supplies, and it would occasion no surprise if the
wheat had assumed a firmer tone early in the new year.
Russian ports are now clssed to navigation for the season, and
prices are not sufficiently tempting to lead to any active movement by rail.
During the week ended Dec. 17, the sales of home-grown
wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to 43,655 quarters, against 42,589 quarters last year
and 41,787 quarters in 1879; while it is computed that they
were in the whole kingdom 174,620 quarters, against 170,500
quarters and 167,150 quarters. Since harvest the sales in the 150
principal markets have amounted to 773,155 quarters, against
698,315 quarters and 488,016 quarters; the estimate for the whole
kingdom being 3,092,620 quarters, against 2,793,260 quarters in
1880 and 1,953,350 quarters in 1879. Without reckoning the

The Money Market and Financial Sitnation,—There has
been a decided change in the tone of the stock market, and the
depre.s.sion which was so marked in the early days of the new
year lias given place to firmness, and in some cases almost to
buoyancy. The money market has relaxed, and this has helped
the improvement in stocks ; bat there is also a more cheerful
feeling in regard to railroad properties, based in part on the
constant rumors of a settlement of the railroad war, and partly
on the large earnings of some of the western roads in the month
of December. The general transportation business is so large,
mercantile activity, railroad construction,
immigration, movement of passengers for business or pleasure,
and from various other causes, that less is thought of the decreased tonnage of grain freights from the West which is likely
to occnr in the present half-year.
On another page will be found the statement of railroad
earnings for December and the full year 1881, in comparison with
1880. The reports are very promising in showing a heavy gross
in consequence of
but to understand the true condition of the several roads
we must see their net earnings and their interest and rental
accounts in the forthcoming annual reports, as the latter have
increased heavily with some of the companies. It is to be
regretted that as roads pass under a new management their
annual reports are sometimes withheld from publication thus
we have had no annual report of Missouri Kansas & Texas for
1880; no report of Texas & Pacific for the fiscal year ending May
31, 1881 ; no report of East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia for
the year ending June 30, 1881. All these companies had issued
their reports regularly in previous years.
The money market has come down to easy rates, and stock
borrowers have been well supplied with money on cal l at 4@ 6
per cent, while the Government bond dealers are paying 2@3
per cent. Prime commercial paper of 2 to 4 months is quoted at
5^®6 per cent.

thought that the State of Missouri had no right to default on
the bonds issued to the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad, whatever was the controversy between the State and the company.
In railroad bonds there has been more activity, and prices
are becoming firmer on many of the investment securities.
Default was made this month on the coupons of the first mortgage bonds of the Memphis & Little Rock Railroad.

Denver & Kio Grande. The Denver & Rio Grande Railway
has completed its third track from Pueblo to Denver, and the
Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway commenced yesterday to
run its freight cars through to Denver over that line. It is the
intention to have the passenger cars of the Atchison Topeka &
Santa Fe also run through to Denver by the first of next week.
The laying of a third rail between Pueblo and Denver by the
Denver & Rio Grande Company, thus allowing the broad-guage
oars of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe to run through to
Denver without change, will no doubt prove of great benefit to
both roads, as it establishes another direct standard-gauge line
from the Missouri River to Denver to compete with the Kansas
Pacific and Union Pacific roads. The new line, although a
little longer than the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific routes,
expects to make the same time, both with freight and passenger
trains, which it can easily do on account of its easy grades and
the fine condition of its road-bed. The Denver business of the
Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe has been heretofore greatly
embarrassed because freight and passengers for Denver had to
be transferred from broad-gauge into narrow-gauge cars at
Pueblo, which caused considerable delay and annoyance. Now
that these troubles have been overcome the Atchison Topeka &
Santa Fe and the Denver & Rio Grande route to Denver will no
doubt become as popular as any of its competitors.
The Denver & Rio Grande built a greater number of different lines during the past year than any other company in
the country narrow gauge though they are. The additions,
as reported by Mr. R. P. Weitbrec, Manager of Construction,
aggregate 370"miles, as follows
—
$210,089,924
* These figures are not Included in the additii ns, for tlie reason that
the amount appears on the Railroad Company's books as a charge

a credit for m.iuey received, and bringing the two baUune-sheets
together it wouhl naturally disappear, but it is retained in present form
to show the actual cash advances of the Railroad Company for account
of the Coal &, Iron Company.

Flint & Pere Marquette.— A dispatch from East Saginaw,
Mich., Jan. 8. reports that the business of the Flint & Pere
Marquette Railway for 1881 shows a handsome increase over the
previous year. Tide approximate earnings for the years named
were- 1881, 11,858,356, and for 1880, $1,596,950, an increase the
past year of $261,306. The construction expenses of the road

added to the equipment. Over sixty miles of steel rails have
been laid, and over thirty miles of new line constrneted, including the Otter Lake extension, six miles, and the Manistee
Branch, twenty-six miles. Considerably over $100,000 was expended during the year for improvements at East Saginaw, including a new macliine shop and passenger depot. Two new

The report of the Second Vice-President and General Manager,
Henry Fink, states that $,W2,038 has been spent on improvement and construction. The work done includes graduation,
masonry, bridge structure, new steel rails, ballast and ties for
improvements in stations and important additions to
terminal facilities at Norfolk, where the company bought and
destroyed a toll bridge which obstructed the approach to their
deep-water front. The company received for passengers 3"18
cents for local and 2 54 cents for through travel ; 1-95 cents a
ton for local and 1"17 cents a ton for through freight. Compared with the previous year, the passenger bu.siness shows an
increase of 34,867 passengers, equal to 25 6-10 per cent ; of
180,971 passenger miles, equal to 21 1-10 per cent, and of
$36,116, equal to 14 1-10 per cent revenue derived from the
passenger business. The freight business has increased as follows 41,335 tons, equal to 13 per cent ; 6,800,614 mile tons,
equal to 10 per cent, and f 103,757, equal to 10 per cent of
revenue from freights. About 97 per cent of the net increase
in the revenue was from local traffic.
The revenue from the
through freight traffic shows a desrease, owing to the war of
rates between the trunk lines. In conclusion Mr. Fink says :
'•
During the year ending September 30, 1881, there were
passed over the road to Norfolk 325,862 bales of cotton, an
increase of 40,305 bales as compared with the movement of
cotton during the previous year. But for the want of adequate
shipping facilities from Norfolk the increase would have oeen
much greater. A regular line of steamships between Norfolk
and Liverpool has become a necessity, and efforts are beiDf
made to establish such a line in time for the next cotton season.
The tables appended to the report show that of the 129,79S
tons transported between February 10 and September 30, 30,334
tons were cotton, 15,793 lumber, 12*^25 leaf tobacco, 10,043 logs,
7,306 wheat, 6,555 cattle, 5,058 manufactured tobacco, 4.338
staves, 4,191 corn and meal and 3,628 tons iron ore ; 8,985 tons
were pig iron, 3,300 limestone, 4,423 peanuts and 1,154 coal.

Falliuan Palace Car Co.—The Chicago Tribune says " It
may be regarded as certain that the suit of the Pullman Palace Car Company against the Missouri Pacific Railroad, the
main stem of Gould's Southwestern system, is an actual basis
of consolidation which will give Messrs. Vanderbilt and Gould
control of the sleeping-car system of the United States. It
will be known as the Pullman Car Company, and managed in
accordance with the plans conceived and followed out by Mr.
Pullman sixteen years ago. It is thought by those whose relations with the Pullmans are very intimate that the car shops
at the town of Pullman will form no part of the consolidation,
thoHgh this is by no means certain. The reason for this belief
is the fact that the Wagner Company tas no shops
and is
dependent for its cars upon large car-manufacturing companies

have been permanently relieved. Export business in staples of
agriculture has increased, and at the same time they are marketed more freely, preventing any undue or speculative

Pork, bacon and cut meats have been quiet in this market for
the week under review, but it is understood that a large busineMS has been done at the West for through .shipment to
Europe. Lard has been less active, but closed about steady on
the spot at ll'25c. for prime Western, and ll'SOc. for refined.
For future delivery there is some decline, and the close this
evening was at ll'27^c. for February, il'42>^c. for March,
ll'uac. for April, and ll'62%c. for Mav. Beef is firmer for
India mes.s, owing, it is said, to large purchases for account of
the British Admiralty, and the close is at f 26@28 per tierce.
Butter and cheese are without decided change, but tallow has
advanced to 8J^@85&c. Pork-packing at the West continues to

Rio coffee has been quiet, and latterly rather irregular, the
'lower grades being much more 'firmly sustained than the
higher fair cargoes have declined to lO^^c, while ordinary
close at 9c. mild grades have been quiet, partly owing to the
refusal by importers to continue the allowance to buyers for
lightering the coffee from Brooklyn. A coffee board has been
organized during the past week. Rice has been steady, with a
pretty good trade. Tea has shown no marked change at the
.auction sales. Spices have sold freely, especially pepper,
which has ruled firmer cloves have, however, declined to

which has latterly been quoted at "D^e. for fair refining,
while centrifugal has r^lnained firm at SJ^c. for 96-degrees test.
Refined has been active and higher, owing to the burning of

Prices and Supply cf Cotton. ^We have frequent inquiries
with regard our opinion as tj the future of prices. It would
give us great pleasure to furnish the information, if we had it
to impart. That is one of those subjects about which we know
There are plenty of brokers who have the

whole thing at their fingers ends, and any one of them would
be glad to tell our correspondents all about it, especially if after
so doing the applicants leave an order to buy or sell with a
broad margin. That too, by the way, is an excellent test for
any enquirer as to the correctness of the information, for after
such a little transaction one is sure to know and to remember
well whether prices went up or down.
Our knowledge about cotton is wholly confined to a few facts
bearing upon supply and consumption. When we see sufficient
cotton has been raised to satisfy the year's demands, we are apt
to say so, as we have said this year. But the meaning of such a
statement is not that prices are going down, for the market rates
are the result, ni't only of that fact, but of many other considerations. For instance, at the present time, one important
is that values are not high.
Look at the following
statement of quotations on the 8d of January for a series
of years. We take that date because we had prepared th&
back years for another purpose, and the eleven days which
have passed since, have not materially changed the situation.

piling up stock here until it has got to be very burthensome, and the question of price seems to be largely
reduced to a question of endurance between New York and
Liverpool, with the hot end of the poker in our hands. It was
just this situation we sought to guard against when way back
in October (Chronicle, October 29, page 456), at the close of an
article on Mr. Ellison's annual figures received by cable, we
stated that there was going to be no dearth of cetton this year
and that it would be wise to let Europe have all the cotton she
wanted at the then present prices. On that very Friday (Oct.
29) when we wrote those words the quotations were precisely a.^
they are given above for the 3d of January. Had th«u:ourse
we suggested been adopted— instead of running away frtnt
Liverpool at every advance that market has made
we
would have rid ourselves of this extra surplus and at present
been in a good strong position for even higher rates. On the
contrary now, if by any accident prices should hreak, is ther»
not cacsiderable danger that these heavy stosks will carry
values far below where they ought to be, and we be compelled to
market the great body of our crop at less than it is really worth.
On the •question of supply we ought always to ke»p in mind
three points CI) our own crop ; (2) the crops of other countries,
and (3) h«w much spinnent can entrench on old stocks. As to

those figures Hhow the possibilities, under certain conditions,
and every man who wants to know the whole truth will keep
them in mind just now, while our holdings are so large. Then
as to supply from other countries, it is clear there is to be a
considerable addition to last year's shipments, both from Bgypt
and India. As we write we have received the following from
Messrs. Wallace & Co., of Bombay, under date of December 8:
"Altogether, the exports of Snrats to Europe this season may
b« expected to be considerably larger than last, uotwithstand" Ing increased local consumption." This has been the tenor
of the reports from India for a long time. Egypt also gives the
same promise. They had an excellent Nile, and the report is
that it has resulted in their having an excellent yield, though
during late weeks the receipts have been running smaller. And
as to our crop— well, we will not finish that sentence, because it
makes some of our Southern friends billious. But it is signifl-cant of the situation now, that believers in 4.9 and 5.2 have
retired, and that there are very few believers in less than 5.5
left ; pretty soon they, too, will all be gone, and then the estimates will creep up slowly, until the whole chorus will join us
in saying, there is no dearth of cotton this year.
Now, we do cot pretend to know anything about the effect
of all these facts on the cotton market, but most certainly we
think if we had the crop under our control and wanted to make
the most out of it, we should try to roll off on Liverpool at
-current prices a good big bunch of our present burden.

The wheat market has been dull, and although very little
change in values can be quoted the tendency has been downward.
There has been something doing for export, and the
visible supply is not excessive; but receipts at the West again
compare very favorably with one year ago so much so that
all apprehensions of a scarcity during the current crop year
are at an end. The new crop of spring wheat is yet held back

stocks are small iu view of the largo demand in sight. White
good.s, pique > and Marseilles and cnxrhet quilts were fairly
active, and further large deliveries were made by agents on
account of former ordiru. Print cloths were quiet, and CIx64'h
were a fraction lower at 4c. less 1 per cent for "s(Mits," and 4c.
less one half percent for "futures to April." but 56xt>0'rt were

fancy prints and shirtings were rather m'>re active in demand,
and there was a very good business in dr<-ss gingham^*, leading
makes of which are hravily sold ahead. Print-^d piques and
lawns were lightly dealt in, as were cotton dress gjods, but
fancy skin ings met with considerable sale.s.
^ Domestic Wooi.es Goods. ^There was a aomewhat butter
demand for small parcels of light-weight casMimeres and
suitings by the clothing trade, and some fair sales of worsted
and cofton-warp worsted coatings were mad-; t> the sanii clas.4
of buyers. Heavy ras-iimeres are only in moderate supply as
yet, but some fair orders (forfuture delivery) havealready been
placed, and there wa-< an increased busine.ss iu overconiingj',
several makes of which have lately been opened by agents.
Prices of clothing woolens are firmly maintained owing to the
npward tendency of the staple and the limited stocks of goods
on hand. iSuiting flannels continued in steady request, bn^
other flannels and blankets were in light demand, as were
shawls, skirts and worsted dress good-i. Ke itucky j-'ans and
satinets nled quiet and steady. Carpets were fairly active is
jobbers' hands, and prices remain firm. Knit underwear and
hosiery were in moderate demand, and large d-liveries were
made by agents in execution of back orders.

goods has continoed light, but thwre was a fair buiine.ss in a
