While this year’s exhibit appears particularly favor
able as compared with the three preceding years, when
losses were sustained, or with 1891, when a merely
nominal profit was secured, it loses its favorable char
acter largely when contrasted with either 1890, 1889
or 1888. The exports of yarns and goods from Great
Britain were 23,660,000 lbs. less in 1895 than in the
preceding year but greater than in either of the three
previous years. The details of these exports by months
and quarters for 1895 and 1894 were given in the
C hronicle of January 18, page 144.
We have also received by cable the figures for the
three months of the season since October 1. The spin
ners’ takings, weight of bales, &c., are given as

year. The total spinners’ stocks in Great Britain and
on the Continent have increased 41,000 bales during
the month but are now 107,000 bales less than at the
same date last season.
The cable also brings us Mr. Ellison’ s estimate of
imports, consumption, etc., for the remaining n in e
months of the season 1895-96. So far as American
cotton is concerned, the results are based on a yield of
7,000,000 bales.
The aggregate imports from all
countries during these nine months are placed at
4.415.000 bales, which is a decrease of 888,000 bales
from the amount received in the like period of the pre
vious season. This 4,415,000 bales is made up o f
2.804.000 bales from the United States, 1,070,000 bales
from East India, 361,000 bales from Egypt, 30,000
bales from Smyrna, etc., and 150,000 bales from Brazil,
West Indies, etc. Presented in tabular form , the esti
mate is as follows, comparison being made with the re vised results for 1895 and 1894 :

tint set-back. During that period, though there was a good
deal of wild gambling, most of the purchases were carefully
made. The l>est properties were as a rule chosen, and the
issues of new comjsinies were not excessive. The buying
spread from this country to France and from France to
Germany and Austria. In June the speculation broke all
bounds and became utterly reckless, the greatest reckless
ness being shown upon the Continent. London sold im
mense quantities to France, Germany, Austria. Holland and
Belgium. Tie- worst business in London was the bringing
out of new comimnies. In many cases the capital asked
for was extravagantly large. In many other cases
hardly any information was given to subscribers. And in
not a few instances companies were formed privately. The
public was not told who the directors were, where the proper
ties were situated, or what prospects there were of
Success. Tire capital was subscribed privately; members
of the Stock Exchange were then employed to deal
in it quietly; and in this way multitudes of bad concerns
were passed on to the public.
A break-down in so wild a speculation was inevitable; but
it was precipitated in October by the refusal of the London
hanks to take the acceptances of certain foreign banks doing
business in London. The London branches of these foreign
hanks have always been in the habit of accepting on a con
siderable scale. While this was done for legitimate purposes
no objection u’as made. When, however, the speculation in
mining shares became rampant on the Continent these
foreign banks financed the operations by means of the ac
ceptances of their London branches. Very naturally the
London banks objected that they themselves refused to find
means for the wild speculation that was going on, and yet
that they were asked to enable the foreign banks to do what
they themselves considered too dangerous. And they further
pointed out that while the European public was induced to
believe that the speculation was being conducted to a very
large extent by means of Continental capital, in reality the
capital was found in London.
The argument of the London banks was undoubtedly
right. The speculation was extravagantly great and very
dangerous. But they acted too precipitately. They would
have done more wisely if they had not been quite so prompt
and quite so decisive in their mode of stopping the specula
tion. When the foreign banks in question found that their
acceptances would no longer be taken here they had to call
in very large sums from the great Continental markets to
take up those acceptances, and that at once precipitated the
crisis. Unfortunately the anarchy in Turkey readied a head
just at the same time. The Armenians, even in Constan
tinople, made a demonstration in the streets, and they were
shot down and massacred unmercifully.
It is said that the Armenians, in the hope of paralyzing
the Turkish Government, organized a run upon the Imperial
Ottoman Bank—the Turkish state bank. The run took
place and lasted for a couple of weeks, but the bank was
able to came triumphantly out of the trial. It is exceed
ingly well managed, and its credit has risen because of the
promptitude and ability with which the crisis was met.
The Turkish Government granted a moratorium to the pub
lic, and that aggravated the troubles both in' Paris and
Vienna. A moratorium may have been necessary, but it is
certain that multitudes of great operators took advantage of
It to refuse to pay their differences, both in Paris and
Vienna, where they had speculated largely. As those dif
ferences were not received, the brokers through whom they
dealt were unable to meet their engagements, and there
were very numerous failures in both capitals. And the fail
ures would have been more numerous were it not that the
Messrs. Rothschild and their friends came to the relief of all
•who were in a position to deserve support.
The crisis was not so severe in Berlin as in Paris and Vi
enna, and it was less severe still in London. The London
Stock Exchange, though certain members had acted rashly,
as a whole undoubtedly made money by the spec
ulation, as London was the great centre where
all purchases and sales for
the Continent were

London was completed and everyone was looking for an
early recovery. About the end of December the liquidation
was completed in Paris and probably it would have been com
pleted elsewhere also if political troubles had not occurred.
fVoL. LX 1I.
President Cleveland’s Venezeula message created so much
alarm that there was a heavy fall, attended by further losses,
and thus protracting liquidation; and Dr. Jameson’s raid in
the Transvaal has caused another scare, another heavy fall
and more losses, so that the movement will be still further
protracted. In spite of all, however, the London market is
thoroughly sound, and if political apprehension dies out
there will be an almost immediate recovery.
An interesting event during the year was the receipt by
the Bank of England early in January, 1895, of the final in
stalment in repayment of advances made to Baring Brothers
at the time of the failure of that firm in 1890. The transac
tion was thus closed up without loss to either the Bank or
any of the guarantors. A change of ministry occurred in
England during the year, Lord Salisbury succeeding Lord
Rosebery, but this was without effect outside of political
circles.
The complete trade figures of imports and exports to and
from Great Britain for three years are as follows :

THE

YORK
MONEY
M ARKET
[Y ol . LX1I.

YEARS.
We have compiled in a convenient form, from our own journal and from the books of money brokers, and
give on the pages which follow, a comprehensive record of all departments of the New Y ork money market for
the last six years. This is the first attempt ever made to preserve that department of business affairs in a shape
fitted for ready reference. The little table we have heretofore published annually was so incomplete as to be
of scanty use.
We have often had calls on us for a work of this kind. Every one will readily see how important it is to
the student of economic subjects. In connection with the international conferences held respecting silver the
demand for a record covering the years since 1873 was very pressing, but we could not supply it, and indeed the
details for those years would be beyond any one’ s reach now. A m ong bankers, and less often, but at times,
among merchants, this compilation will have a more practical value. Even lawyers in the conduct of their
litigations in relation to mercantile and banking affairs often need the record. But aside from these special calls
for the data here given, there are many other purposes for which a knowledge of the money market in past years
is frequently desired. It is well enough to add that the monthly summaries of the money market to be found in
the “ Retrospect,” published in the number of our journal issued the first Saturday of each year, should b9 con
sulted. These tables used in connection with those recitals of each month’ s events affecting money present the
loan market and the influences affecting it in most complete form.
The tables require but little explanation. As will be noticed, we first give the call loan branch of the
market— that is the range at the Stock Exchange for each week, the week’s average rate, and the minimum
rate at banks and trust companies ; by the range of course we mean the highest and lowest extremes for the
week; it may happen that in any given week the transactions at either extreme may have been very small. It is
for this reason that we show in addition to the range the average for the week. This average cannot of course
be determined with absolute accuracy, but we have sought to furnish as close an approximation as possible.
Following call loans we give time money; under that head we report separately transactions at 30 days, 60 days,
9> days and four, five, six and seven months— all representing choice collateral. Finally, the rates for commer
cial paper are presented. First among these are double-name paper divided into choice 60 to 90-day contracts
ordinarily known as bills receivable, and choice 4 months paper, known as commission house acceptances.
Following the double-name are single-name paper; here it will be noted that in 1894 two new classes are en
tered, making three classes of single-name paper as against only one class in previous years. This change grew
out of a new practice by commission houses in dealing with acceptances of consignors. Theretofore commission
houses had issued acceptances covering drafts made by consignors which are classed choice 4 months doublenamed paper, a3 noted above ; but in 1894 the same houses began to give cash to consignors and issue their
single-name notes, upon which they received cash in the market, and these are termed prime 4 months and prime
6 months commission house names.
A few of the older houses still continue to issue double-name acceptances.

fFrotn our own oorrespoodentd
L ondon, Saturday . Jan, 11,1896,
The German Emperor's telegram to President Kruger has
excited a very angry feeling in this country, and all classes
and parties are unanimous in support o f the Government in
its active naval and military preparations. The best opinion
is that the German Emperor acted contrary to the advice o f
his responsible Ministers, and that he did not take full ac
count o f the probable consequences of what ho was doing.
It is hoped that no serious quarrel will ensue, though o f
course there is always the danger that a sovereign o f the
Emperor William’s character may be carried away by his

One result o f the political apprehensions that are now
aroused will be a very large expenditure upon our defenses
It seems reasonably certain at present that there will he a
surplus for the current financial year, which ends with
March, of at 1*a t 5 millions sterling. Under the existing
law this surplus would be applied to the redemption o f debt;
but the general impression now fa that as soon as Parliament
meets a short act will be passed for spending the money

the intentions of Germany; and of pour.se there were grave
The Bank rate of discount and open market rates at the
fears respecting Johannesburg. On Wednesday, however,
there was a very marked recovery, and though the highest chief Continental cities have been as follows:
prices have not been maintained, quotations are still better
than on Monday and Tuesday morning, and there is likewise
a better feeling. To a large extent the firmness of the mar
ket is due to the existence of a large “ bear” account.
‘ Bears ” naturally sold heavily in the belief that the action
of the German Emperor and the unfortunate occurences in
South Africa would frighten investors. As a matter of fact,
investors liave not sold to any considerable extent. Some
timid people, of course, have sold, as they always do, but the
great body of investors have remained calm. When it was
announced that the Boer Government had agreed to hand
over Dr. Jameson and his followers to the British Govern
ment and that generally President Kruger was acting with
great magnanimity, the “ bears” rushed in to buy back and
the natural consequence was a sharp rise.
Even American securities shared in the advance, although
the impression made here by the new loan is unfavorable.
London of course is not in a position to judge properly; but
the impression amongst the bankers undoubtedly is that it
would have been a wiser course to have arranged with the
Morgan Syndicate. The fears that the popular loan may be
a failure and that there may be large gold shipments are
deterring all investors from buying American securities.
And of course the strained relations between the two coun
tries are acting in the same way. The rise in Americans
here, therefore, was mainly due to buying back by bears.
As long as political apprehension continues there cannot be
active business on the Stock Exchange, and the probability,
therefore, is that quotations will remain pretty much as they
are for some time to come. But if the negotiations between
the British and the Transvaal governments for concessions
to the Uitlanders end satisfactorily, and if there is a clearing
up of the misunderstandings with the United States and
Germany there will, no doubt, be a sharp rise,

THE CHRONICLE.
Choctaw O klahom a & G u lf R a ilro a d .
{Report f o r thirteen months ending Oct. 31, 1895.)
President Fran cis 1. Gowen in the report says in part:
General Remarks .—The lin e between South Me -Hester and
Oklahom a C ity was so fa r completed on the 1st of October last
as to enable a through service of freight and m ixed trains to
be put into effect, but through passenger service has not yet
been established. The total amount expended in the con
struction of this lin e up to the end of the fiscal year
was $1,463,151. The business of the company since " the
new lin e was opened has been satisfactory, and justifies the
expectation that the estimates of the earning capacity of the
com pany, w hich formed the basis for the reorganization plan,
w ill be realized. The net earnings of both departments for
October amounted to upwards of $39,000. T h is result was
attained under conditions which added m aterially to the cost
of operation and w ith an incomplete service of trains. B u s i
ness during the past year w aste a considerable extent affected
by the loss of crops in a large section of Oklahom a Territo ry,
tlirough a portion of w hich the line of the company extends.
Coal Business.—The output of coal was reasonably satisfac
tory, considering that during the preceding year the company
shipped during June, J u ly and August upwards of 103.000
tons, due to the long strike in the other mines in the In d ia n
Territo ry, w hile during the corresponding months of 1895
there were shipped but a little over 60,000 tons. Th is com
pany is now the largest producer of ooal in the In d ian T e rri
tory, and every effort w ill b? made to retain that position.
T h is may require the opening of an additional mine.
Equipment .—The equipment comprises: Equipment owned:
locomotives. 13; coal cars, 98; other cars, 25. Equipm ent
leased: coal cars, 892; box cars. 50; stock cars, 250. A ll this
equipment has been kept in good order, and the amount now
controlled by the company is reasonably sufficient for its re
quirements.
Financial,—The obligation^ which are now outstanding,
or w hich have yet to be i« u e d in settlement for work done in
connection w ith the construction of the 130 m iles of railroad
w hich were built daring the past year, are as follows: $1,000.000 prior lien bonds, interest. $60,000; $1,175,000 general m ort
gage bonds, interest, $908,750; $1,090,000 income mortgage
Bonds, interest (payable if earned), $5-1,9*)5; total interest, in
cluding incomes, $323,650; payments on car trusts, etc , for
1895 96, $52,781,
Eaminqtb —White the report is for the thirteen months
ending October 31, it c a n u in - the follow ing com parative
statements for the y e a n ending September 3). The n ew lin e ,
it w ill be remembered, was not opened t ill after September

(Report fo r the year ending December 31,1895,)
A t the annual meeting the old board of directors was re
elected.
la his a o n u il repor; President Yerkes said:
General Results .—Compared w ith the year 1891 the net
earnings amount to $997,137, which is $314,483 more than last
year. There waa during the year 1895 about 58 m iles of track
changed fro n horse to electric track, so that at the present
time the trackage consists of 17 m iles of cable, 66 miles of
electric and 3 miles of horse-car track.
The bu-iif. -s of the com pany was very much interfered with
and the expenses of the lines changed to electricity augmented
by the fact that the changes were being made. It was not
uotO the year was more t'ian half spent that we were running
the electric lint s under fa ir conditions, and since the com
mencement the im provement has been rapid. The change
from horsepower to electric, even under the disadvantages
which surrounded the change, has reduced the perc mtage of
expenses to (tie grots receipts to 48 71 par cent, against 54-33
last fyear. W ithout question the stockholders w ill get 12
per cent in dividends during the present year, and perhaps
something in the way of an extra dividend,
j
F in a n c ia l, —After reading the report Mr. Yerkes said: In
j addition to the surplus there is yet due the com pany from the
North Chicago C ity R ailw a y. w hich is leased by the North
‘ Chicago Street Railroad, $850,000 in hoods, to pay for im j provesjeot* upon the line#. T h is would belong to the stockI holder#. The original i«Htu» waa $2,500,000, (Jf that amount
j $1,850,000has been issued for improvements, *
‘ Mr. Yerkes was asked regarding the guaranties which the
; company had given the bonds and stocks of other companies,
l He said the bonds of the North Chicago Electric had been
guaranteed so far as pertained to Lincoln Avenue, and the
North Chicago Electric had a lease from the North Shore
Electric, under which the latter carried alt its down-town
passengers to the lim its barn.
S ta tis tic s —The mileage of the cable cars for the re ar was
‘ 5,233,000, of the electric lines 3,727.000 and of the horse-car
line* 1,727,000. The cost of operating the cable lines was 12-55
cents a m ile; the electric lines 11 cents a m ile, and the horsecar lines 20 cents a mite. Of the gross earnings in 1895
$1,082,793 were from cable. $870,285 from electric and §391,Chicago C ity R a ilw a y ,
277 from horse-car lines. Operating expenses per passenger
for entire system 3 "8 cents.

—At Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday, Jau. 8, Judge Hawkins,
in the United States Circuit Court, graate 1 the motion made
on the part of the second mortgage bondholders to consoli
date the first mortgage bondholders’ action with the proceed
ings already begun by the seconds. The Court held that all
equities and priorities could be better taken care of in the
original proceedings, avoiding large complications.
The
United States Trust Company, trustee under the first mort
gage, was seeking to obtain possession of the property and a
separate receiver for the benefit of tlie firsts. Of the
$5,500,000 second mortgage bonds outstanding, the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe owns $2,750,000 (deposited under the gen
eral mortgage of 1889), and the St. Louis & San Francisco
owns $2,297,000 (pledged under its consolidated mortgage of
1890), leaving $153,000 in the hands of the public. Because
of their interest in the seconds the Atchison and St. Louis &
San Francisco oppose the separation of the foreclosure suits.
The Circ .it Court for New Mexico, however, two weeks ago
refused to consolidate the two suits and appointed Charles
W. Smith receiver. The hearing on the resignation of the
old receivers will come up in the Arizona circuit next Tues

The “ fixed charges” include rentals, taxes and interest on
priority loan and floating debt. Interest on debenture stock,
whi~h was payable in scrip, amouuted to $74,783 in the 6 months
of 1895. against $75,316 in 1894.
Regarding these figures, the official circu la r says:
From sneti a report as that for 1391-5 it Is pleasant to turn to the
aeoouuts for the la-t six month*. But for the extra outlay on main
tenance of w >r and eanlpm-nt, th* surplus would of o rarse have been
larger, hut this expenditure was necessary In the p-rm m ent interest
at the stockholders. I should have been glad to tell the holders of
preferred stock A that they were about to receive a dividend, however
small, but to face of the preceding year’ s deficit, and tile necessity the
company was under to borrow money, this o f course is impossible.
The prospects for the present half-year, though not equal to those of
the last, are fair. We m >v reasonably expect to sorer our debenture
stock interest, but you will remember that railway earnings are always
hoi slier in the ilr-t thin in the second half of the calendar year.
Financial Needs .—To place the road in position for
economical operation, the circu la r says various improvements
are proposed, w hich i: is -stim ite d w ill cost $632,358 as follows:
Bridges and ties, $118,258; additional term inal accommo
dation, side tracks, w idening of embankment, & c.. $120,100;
improvements and additions to ro llin g stock, $162,000; reduc

$526,680 for existing liab ilities as follows: Loan of £70,000,
$340,090. an ! equipment warrants m aturing from Ju re , 1896,

the scrip dividend for 12 months, J u ly l , 1890, to June 39,
1897, $150,(W0, leaving $t,029,088.
The company would have no d ifficu lty in arran gin g the

needs fresh money, say about £135,000, and this the board
desires to obtain on promissory notes “ running for not less

on the entire property. The property is to be sold as an entiretv, at a date to be fixed by the Master Commis
sioner. All bidders must deposit $100,000 as a guarantee of
good faith. Th* bonds of the Safe Deposit Co. of Baltimore,
amounting to $5,000,000, are ordered to be delivered up for
cancellation, being invalid. The Canadian Pacific road, it is
expected, will control the property when reorganized — \ . (50,

the following statement of earniDgs:

Netearninga.. $6,999,057 $7,383,113 $10,295,620 $9,682,872
The application further states:
These figures must be varied each year according to the results of
the operations of the coal companies operated by the Erie, anu also
according to revenue derived from one or two other sources. The
ascertainment of exact results is therefore very difficult; hut it is
believed that the following statement of real net earnings, from all
sources, is conservative, viz.:
1895.......... $7,100,000 I 1892......... $9,450,000 I 1889......... $9,550,000
1894.......... 7,400,000 ! 1891......... 9,850,000 1888......... 9,350,000
1893 ......... 10,050,000 |1890......... 9,650,000 |1887......... 9,350,000
The net earnings for 1895 might properly be stated at a larger sum,
but owing to the lack of other funds the receivers have had to treat
certain payments for now equipment and other like items as a part of
operating expenses. The net earnings from 1887-1892, inclusive, in
clude an average of perhaps $750,000, derived from Lehigh Valley
trackage and other sources now discontinued, but the growth of bus
iness in other directions is now largely, if not entirely, oflfsttting this
item. The fixed charges for the next two years will be approximately,
in all. $7,560,000. Thereafter, the interest on the general lien bonds
will be increased $300,000, to which, of course, must be added interest
on such moderate expenditures for capital account as may he made
from year to year, for which bonds are reserved as stated below. In
cluded in the new fixed charges is interest on some $5,000,000 in
tended to be spent in improving and adding to the property. This ex
penditure is expected to enable the company to increase its business
and also to transact it with greater economy than heretofore.
The company’s first balance sheet is now in course of preparation,
and will be furnished in the course of a few weeks.—V. 62, p. 84, 86.

New Britain Trolley— Decision.—The decision of the Su

involving the right of the city to tax this company’s entire
gross receipts, is of more than local interest and is worth
recording. The company built an extension and the city,
instead of merely imposing a 2 per cent tax upon the earn
ings of such extension, undertook to collect a 2 per cent tax
on the entire gross receipts of the road. This, the Court holds,
the city had no right to do under the law of 1893.

R eo rg a n iza tion .—The Chairman of the House Committee
on Pacific Railways has received a letter from Louis Fitz
gerald, the Chairman of the Union Pacific Reorganization
Committee, in which he says that his committee now embraces
a substantially single representation of all Union Pacific first
mortgage bonds in circulation, as well as of all issues secured
by liens junior to the lien which secures the debt to the
United States. Mr. Fitzgerald adds:
Tills union of seeurity holders relieves the matter of voluntary reor
ganization from every difficulty except that of defining the relatively
fair provi-ion which should be made for the claim of the Government.
While the neces-lty is pressed upon the Reorganization Committee to
enforce the rights nf the first mortgage bondholders in pending fore
closure proceedings, the committee believes that it will be its best
office to aid in carrying into effect snob proposal for the ere iitable
and just «. ttlement of the Government claim whloh may be approved
or made by the Committee on Pacific Railroads and maybe carried
into the form of proper legislation of Congress.—V. 62, p. 139.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market has
made little progress during the week. The ru lin g values are
considered too low for “short'’ selling, and m a n y previous
ventures were covered; but there was an absence of sufficient
confidence to induce much inves ing demand. The Saturday's
deal was sm all and unim portant, with slig h tly fluctuating
rates, closing w ith no special advantage to either buyer or
seller, Monday opened with a slightly weak tone and 2 points
loss, but with some spot sales to exporters and s lig h ly firmer
news from abroad there came reaction, w ith 5-36 points
net gain for the day. Tu esd ays m arket opened strong,
and fin ally closed at a net advance of 10 pointsThe demand was p rin cip a lly for covering and stim ulated by
bullish reports from England regarding prospective consum p
tion. On Wednesday theeable advices proved disappointing,
under w hich our market reacted 5t§8 points, but yesterday
the shorts again became nervous in view of lig h t offerings I
for near positions and in covering raised prices 9 -10 points. !
To-day the tone has been unsettled, fin a lly closing at a
decline under unfavorable advices from abroad, Cotton on ;
the spot ha* sold with more freedom and closes at S3- 18c. for j
m iddlin g uplands.

of a oleariug house for balances. The plan differs but little from tliat
submitted about two years ago, except that provision is made for
Saturday clearings.
Under the plan proposed by the managers the Corn Exchange Bank
is named as the Clearing House Bank, and the entire oleiring machin
ery is to be placed under the control of that hank. The batik, if the
plan be adopted by the members, will make a eharg i of 2 cents on
each item cleared and will be given an office in the Cot
ton Exchange Building, iu which the various conveniences
to do the business expeditiously will be placed. The plan
of clearing will be in priue pie the same as that cirried on
by the Clearing House Associatian for the New York banks. In the
Cotton Exchange office there will be erected a box for every member
of the Exchange who needs one. The annual rental for each of these
boxes will be $3, which will be in addition to the charge of 2 cents for
each item cleared. The proposed change in the by-laws to provide for
a committee on clearings is as follows. Ic is proposed to add ifc as a
final paragraph to Article If of Chapter 2, Title I, of the by-laws.
Section 58C.—The Committee on Clearings shalL consist of the Presi
dent e x - o f f i c i o and two members of the Exchange, whos^ duty shall be
to arrange with and designate some bank to clear payments arising on
settled contracts for future delivery of cottou, as provided iu Ruie 4 ;
said bank to be approver! by the Board of Managers and to be known
as the “ Clearing House Bauk.” Tt sha’l also he 'he dutv of this com
mittee to arrange with said bank the rates of its cli irges for such
clearances, and generally to have in charge all details pertainiug to
the matter of the relation of the bauk. as a cleari ng h mse, with the
members of the Exchange. Tney shall also have power to arrange
with said bauk for fines and penalties requisite for the carrying out of
Rule 4, which said fees and fines shall be paid to the bauk as compen
sation for its services. Disputes between the bank and members of
the Exchange in relation to such charges and fines shall be referred to
the Committee, whose decision shaU be final.

A. considerable portion of the Sea Island cotton shipped 'o
foreign ports goes via New York, and some small amounts \ia

East India Crop.—The following is Messrs. Gaddum, By

Wo have no change to chronicle this week in the positiou here. Re
ceipts oi Beugnls and Oomras continue on a T e e scile, and holders
are quite ready to meet buyers whenevor reas mable odors are put
forward. Ibis desiie to sell is no doubt accentuated by the fact that
cotton is already coming into the Dhollera and B<*oach markets, and
by the knowledge that cotton from both these districts will be arriv
ing iu Bombay in fair quantities by the end o f ibis month and quite
freely during I?ebruary. All the cotton crops seem to have, done ex
ceedingly w**ll in India this season, the plants haviug matured under
most favorable c o n d i t io n s , with the insult that the yield everywhere
is early, large and of satisfactory q u a lit y .

The value of the New York exports for the year has
been $612,003 in 1896 against $510,882 in 1895.
There have been numerous inquries after brown goods, but
actual business has again been on a limited scale in both
sheetings and drills. Sellers are not pressing stocks on buyers
to any extent, nevertheless the market by its own weight
still tends downwards, and prices are very irregular. In other
brown goods the demand isj slow and prices weak. Cjarse
colored cottons are inactive throughout, with weakness in
blue denims a feature. There has been little business in
bleached cottons at first hands, buyers holding off for lower
prices. White sheetings are slow and barely steady.
White goods dull and irregular; cotton flannels and
blankets fairly steady, but new orders light. Kid-finished
cambrics in favor of buyers. Fancy calicoes have sold indif

The market at first hands has disclosed no new feature in
cotton goods during the past week, the actual demand again
proving a disappointment, with prices of staple cottons weak
and occasionally lower than a week ago. Chief interest has
been centred in the outbreak of a jobbers’ fight in bleached
cottons. On Tuesday New York jobbers made the price of
’ “Lonsdale” and “ Fruit of the Loom” 7^o. net, and this has
been met by a 7c. price by Chicago houses. The agents’
prices are still maintained at 8j^c. usual discount, but a
revision is now momentarily expected. Manufacturing inter
ests are complaining of low prices and slow sales of staple
cottons and of increasing embarrassment from financial
stringency, and as Btocks are undoubtedly accumulating it
is not surprising that there are frequent reports of impending
cuitailment of production. The advance in cotton this week
is something in the market’s favor, but it is not strong
enough to offset other influences. Outside of staple goods a
moderate business is reported, towards which novelties rather
than regular lines contribute. Business in the woolen goods
department has lacked spirit, but the further opening of new
lines has helped sales.
W oolen Goods.—There has been a fair attendance of
wholesale clothiers and cloth jobbers in the market this week,
attracted by the new lines of high-grade men’s-wear goods re
cently put out. A considerable number of orders have been
taken tor these, but buyers have operated conservatively, in
dividual purchases being lighter than usual. Prices are with
few exceptions the same as last season. In low and medium
grade staples and fancies the demand has been indifferent
and in qualities between 75c. and §1 00. Prices show an oc
casional tendency to favor buyers. Business in low-priced
goods, such as satinets and cotton warps, is quiet throughout
with prices generally unchanged. The demand for overcoat
ings has again been disappointing, and the tendency of prices
in some grades of smooth-faced fabrics favors buyers. Dress
goods are in quiet reorder demand and generally steady.
Flannels and nlankets remain quietly firm. Carpets in fair
demand and tending upwards in tapestries.
P w -iT ir c it t a , O now —Tho exports of cotton goods
from this port for the week ending January 20 were 3,46^
1896.
