a movement in no way traceable to any increase in the commercial demand for money the week has been entirely destitute of events likely to influence trade. Tlie political position,
both at home and abroad, has differed very slightly.
Progress towards the settlement of the Eastern question is
extremely slow; but it is at least comforting to recognize
that both combatants are evincing a healthy desire for the
re-establishment of peace, and it is to be earnestly wished
that such a satisfactory result will soon be attained and the
negotiations will not be allowed to be dragged out to an
inordinate length for that would not only increase the
chances of a re-commencement of hostilities, but would also
carry with it the danger of involving other and more im"'
portant parties in the dispute. It is essentially necessary for
the future of trade that as the spring draws nigh the political
horizon should be unclouded and confidence thereby become
more firmly established.

an export on balance of £176,000. Government securities have
fallen off £750,000, from which it would appear that the Bank
has been borrowing money on consols, whilst an increase of

some concession. Tliere are good supplies of grain offering.

Prime commercial
day of the year 1885 a comparison with the close of 1884
highly satisfactory. At that time there was a deep gloom in
the market and prices of stocks were very low, New York
Central selling at 85J, Lake Shore 60J, Michigan Central 55,
Northwestern 83t, St. Paul 70^, Lackawanna 86|, Erie at 14,
Northern Pacific preferred at 38|, Union Pacific at 45, and
other stocks at proportionately low prices. But not only was
the situation bad enough as it existed, the outlook was also
discouraging, and the most sanguine persons could find little
in the future to make them hope for a speedy improvement.
Now all is different, and the recovery at the Stock Exchange
since the West Shore settlement has been something almost
phenomenal. The commercial prospects have also improved,
and, except for the low prices in Europe of some of our principal export products, the immediate future would be full of
promise.
A slight " cloud with a silver lining " is also thrown
over the financial situation by the erroneous views of some of
our Congressmen, but it is possible that this cloud may be dispelled within the next month or two.
The finale of the great West Shore-Central railroad fight is
seen to-day in the declaration of a quarterly dividend of 1 per
cent on Central & Hudson stock, the passing of the dividend
on Lake Shore, giving that stock nothing for the year 1885, and
the sales at the Boaid of the new guaranteed West Shore bonds
{representing one-half the old bonds) at 104}, the highest

say the finale of that struggle, as it is in all
j*-obability the end of the low profits and diminished dividends
on the Vandcrbilt roads, which came directly from the West
Shore complication.
The annual circular of the Mercantile Agency of R. G. Dun
<& Co. has just been issued, and from it we have the comparative statement of failures in 1885 as shown below.
It is
remarked that the total number of concerns reported in business in the United States was 919,990, and one out of every
«6 failed; in 1878 only 074,000 were reported
business and
one out of every 64 then failed. Since 1875 the failures have

Railroad bonds in the early part of the week were quiet and
irregular without feature, but afterward they became quite
active and generally strong ana advancing.
The change is
due in part to the demand incidental to the re-investment of
interest money usually noticed at this time of the year, and
an increased confidence in railroad bonds generally. The

Itailroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.— The apprehension
regard to gold shipments having subsided, and other features
being favorable, the market opened strong on last Saturday
and continued to advance throughout the day, and in fact it
has been generally strong all the week, with only a temporary
reaction on Monday.
There have been no important influences
brought to bear on the market, though the general drift of
sentiment has been bullish, and the strength of prices has
been further assisted by the rumors of a considerable covering
of short contracts by some of the larger bear o[)erators
Bullish talk has been directed principally to the Vanderbilts
and grangers, and both these classes have been conspicuously
strong.
In regard to the former, a relatively good exhibit of
earnings is expected for the current quarter, and it was at one
time rumored that a dividend would be paid on Lake Shore
the grangers are also showing improved earnings.
St. Paul
preferred has been especially strong and has advanced six
points for the week.
To-day, Friday, the market showed a healthy tone, though
closing prices were not up to the best of the day.
The business in stocks was rather overshadowed by the bond dealings,
which were very large at a remarkably strong range of prices.

134,549 bales of cotton, against 105,695 bales the preceding
year, or an excess of 28,854 bales. Our business in naval
stores shows a diminution of 48,815 barrels, the movement of
this year having been confined to 85,655 bbls., as against 130,470
barrels the previous year. This is to be accounted for by the
gradual exhaustion of the pine forests directly upon the line
of this road and others tributary to it, and the removal of the
labor heretofore employed in this industry to newer and more
remote territory, where it can be used to much greater advantage." * » » "The passenger service of the company has

dispatch from the
West reports that the Nortliwestern has let contracts for the
extension of the Fremont Missouri Valley & Elkhorn road
from Chadron west to Fort Felterman, a distance of about
ninety miles, calling for its completion by Sept. 1, 1886. This
is the first direct move towards the construction of the main
line in the direction of Ogden.
The Black Hills line turns
northward from Chadron and is already completed to Buffalo
Gap, and will be at Rapid City early in the spring, the grading
beyond Buffalo Gap being well under way. The extension to
the west from Chadron to Fort Felterman will run through
the heart of the northern Wyoming cattle ranges, and will
open up a section rich in agricultural resources.

ToiiawiiiMln Valley & Cuhit— liradford Kldred & Culm.—
This week Judge Donahue rendered decisions in favor of the
New York Lake Erie& Western Railroad in two suits brought
against it by the Bradford Eldred & Cuba Railroad Company
and Thomas C. Piatt as receiver, and theTonawanda Valley
(;uba Railroad Company and Bird W. Spencer as receiver.
The two last-named roads are narrow-gauge roads runnins
through the western part of New York and Pennsylvania ana
connecting with the Erie system at various points. In the autumn of 1884 they each made default in the payment of interest
on their bonded indebtedness, and thereupon foreclosure suits
were begun by the bondholders, and the two roads were
placed in the hands of receivers. Before these suits were
brought to a conclusion, however, the receivers each began
suit against the Erie Company, claiming that under certain
contracts between the Erie and the narrow-gauge roads the
Erie had agreed to make up any deficiency in the earnings of
the narrow-gauge roads to pay their bonded indebtedness. "The
Erie Company refused to pay the deficiencies and defended
the actions on the ground that the contracts referred to were
illegal and unjust, and imposed on it a heavy burden without
any corresponding benefit. The cases came up for trial before
Judge Uonohue in the Supreme Court in October.
The counsel for the Erie road made a motion to dismiss the complaint
in each case on the grounds above stated.
The case was argued at considerable length, and Judge Donohue has now
rendered his decision, granting the motion and directing judgment for the Erie Company in each case.

report from Liverpool caused a renewal of buying from the
" Shorts,'' but did not to any extent bring forward purchasers
for the rise, and the dealings relapsed into dulness. To-day,
on the eve of a new year, with the exchange to be closed till

The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 338,600

For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
1,638 bales, including

East India Exports.— We have received this week from
Lyon & Co., Bombay, a detailed statement of the exports of cotton from East India ports for the firtt ten months
of the year 1885 (January 1 to October 31), showing the total
shipments to Europe during that period to have been 893,000

These figures confirm the correctness of our weekly
statements made up from cable returns. In the Chroniclr
of Octiiber 31 we gave the exports for the season to October 29
as 890,000 bales, and now (two months late'r) we have the mail
returns, which cover two days more than our figures and give

extinguished. Considerable damage was done by water, some of

Indian corn shows a material recovery from the recent low
The speculation has continued brisk, but the transacprices.
tions in the regular way for export and home use were on a
greatly increased scale, the more conspicuous because they
were done in a holidsy week. Confidence in the atability of
values seems to have been fully established. The quality of
the new corn coming forward to the seaboard is more satisfactory, and there is a narrowing of the range between "steamer"
grades and the dryer samples. Supplies of new white corn
have been ample, but not much yellow is shown. To-day the
advance of yesterday was not fully sustained at the close.

Thuiwdat. p. M., DesemberSl, 1885.
The market for all grades of flour and meal have shown
more steadiness in the pist week, but, as ia usually the case
during the holidays, the home demand has been very dull,
while the business for export has not materially improved.
The wheat market has been doing better for both spots and
futures. The regular trade has bsen more active, the purchases embracing some lots for export. The absence of snow
at the West exposes the fall-sown crop to many dangers, the
time has arrived for the closing of the Black Sea and for the
cessation of shipments from India, and there is no longer any
doubt that our own supplies, available before another harvest
shall be gathered, are not excessive.
Hence, we have had
some revival of speculative confidence and action, which
developed strength toward the close of yesterday's business.
To-day futures further advanced, with considerable spirit to
the speculation, and wheat on the spot was very firm.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
TuuRSDAT,
P, M.,
December
31, 1885.
There was a comparatively small representation of out-oftown package buyers in the market the past week, and local
jobbers were so busily engaged in taking account of stock
that their purchases were confined withia very narrow limits.
Business was consequently quiet in commission and importing
circles, as usual at this stage of the season, but the
December
trade as a whole has been very satisfactory and largely in
excess of the corresponding time in any previous year, owing
in a measure to the fact that exceptionally liberal shipments
of spring and summer goods have been m»de by Western jobbers in advance of the customary time, ia order to economize
upon freights. The movement on account of former transactions reached an important aggregate amount, although
it is
probable that fewer goods were shipped in this connection
than in immediately preceding weeks. The jobbing trade in
the regular
way was
quite molerate, as generally expected,
but a large distribution of domestics, prints, ginghams, dress
goods, &c,, was made by leading jobbers, who offer tempting
price inducements before "stock-taking" in order
to close
out
theur open lines.
There is a much better feeling in the trade
than existed at the close of 1834, and the outlook is regarded
favorably by manufacturers, mill agents, importers and
jobbers alike, the general situation having greatly
improved during the past six months.
Domestic Cotton aooDS.—The exports of cotton goods
for
week ending Dec. 29 were 4,371 packages, including
