any departure from that situation. Still, failures throughout the country have not been numerous ; on the contrary,
they show a diminution compared with last year, and the number of bills of sale given, even allowing for the altered state of
the law in regard to them, have been much fewer. From this
fact it might be contended that in spite of some drawbacks, the
business, wholesale and retail, of the country, has been carried
on with a fair degree of profit.

there are some departments which have developed growing
weakness as the year has progressed. For instance, in
the tin plate trade heavy failures have occurred recently which
have led to the stoppage of many honses and a very considerable decrease in production. It is believed, or at least hoped,
that this will exercise a good influence by enabling holders to
get rid of the surplus stock and current make, at remunerative prices. It seems that the United States is our chief
customer, taking several times the total takings of all other
countries, the export up to December 1, the last two years,

every circle has now become very keen, with little prospect of

increased decidedly in 1882. This has, however, been done at
gradaally weakening prices, and latterly at a considerable loss.
Some little anxiety has also been felt at the condition of the
iron trade, a few suspensions being reported and the market
closing weak, with a very slack demand, prices being almost
nominal. The qaotations for Scotch pig warrants, at the end
of the year, were reported at 488. lid., against 49s. 8d. at the

buoyancy of 188?, yet as stocks are not large, it is hoped that
prices may not only be maintained bnt that later on they
may be raised to a more remunerative level. Depression and
failures in the iron trade are, however, frequently regarded as
ominous, since they often precede failures in other departments; for that reason more importance has been attached

Bnt the country quickly recovered from the worst features
or effects of the disturbance in Paris, and the first half of the
year was on the whole fairly favorable. Bat by the last of
June the situation in Egypt gave cause for great anxiety, and
subsequently the Egyptian war, though brief, affected the
trade generally, especially with the Levant and the East. For
a time, owing to apprehensions that the passage of the Suez
Canal would be seriously impeded (for a short time it being
actually closed), many vessels were taken to the East by the
old route. Fortunately the war did not last long, and closed so

Chronicle of Dec. 30 gives a table of 69 spinning companies in

think that a part at least of the grumbling one hears must
be a constitutional failing with the English spinner rather than
the result of actual losses. In general, however, the table
shows that the dividends paid were less in the last half than in
the first half of the year.
As far as the yield of agricultural produce is concerned the
season has been one affording encouragement, though, owing
to adverse weather during the progress of harvest work, there
was in some districts disappointment. Ck)nsidering the heavy
losses sustained of late years, and the low prices which have
been current in the markets, notwithstanding the shortness of
the crops, it is perhaps remarkable that the difficulties existing
amongst the agricultural claHses have not been more serious.

period of the present season, that is to say, in September, the
American shipments of wheat alone to Europe were between
400,000 and 500,000 quarters weekly, the result being that the
stocks of foreign produce at our ontports increased rapidly,
and caused much depression to prevail in the trade. In fact,
owing to fairly liberal deliveries by the British farmers, our
markets were overburdened, and farmers and merchants were
compelled to accept very low prices, even for sound qualities of
grain. The effect, however, soon corrected itself. American
shipments declined from 400,000 quarters to under 200,000
quarters, and British farmers, having an excellent crop of
barley, turned their attention to marketing that

The cause for the nervousness here at every unfavorable
turn in the rate of exchange on New York is due, as is well
known, to the small re.serve held by the Bank of England. On
the 5th of January, 1881, the supply of gold in the Bank was

increase was only 1'7 per cent, the excess over the flrst six

roads.
How
far the irregular condition of the
money market
is
chargeable with the depression in business circles, it is impossible to say ; but undoubtedly it has, as already stated, been
an adverse influence and of considerable importance. "With the
financial difficulties in France early in the year, the Bank rate
advanced on Jan. 20 to six per cent, a large sum of money havign been borrowed from the London market to assist French firms
as well as to give confidence in Paris with a view to preventing
a serious panic, which might have had a depressing, if not un.
pleasant, effect here. The^market, however, soon assumed an
easier appearance, for on the 23d of February the rate was
reduced to 5 per cent, on March 9 to 4 per cent, and on March
'23 to 3 per cent.
Daring the summer month's the market
remained in a very quiet and easy condition, and not until
there were some apprehensions of a drain of gold in the autumn
from this country and^the Continent, on American account, was
there any important movement. On August 17 the official rate
was advanced to 4 per cent, and on September 14 to 5 per cent.
At one period during the autumn there was a belief in a six
•per cent Bank rate being necessary, as the American exchange
on London had fallen to the gold-shipping point; but the possibility of money becoming dear in this country speedily checked
the speculation which was in progress between this country and
America, and which was the primary cause of a fluctuating
and adverse exchange. It was said that America had a large
-wheat crop and would ship it freely but Europe did not
require so abundant a supply as in former seasons, owing to
her more abundant harvests. As already stated, America did

But while the Bank of England has been
losing gold the
of France has been increasing its holdings. In January,
1S81, its bullion in bank and branches was reported at
£22.000,000 gold and £48,000,000 silver; on January 6 1882, the
gold had increased to £35,943,000 and the silver had fallen to
£46,000,000; but at the c" )se of the year (December 28) totals
reached £38,579,000 gold and £43,310,000 silver. Thus in the
two years while the Bank of England has lost £3,871,031 of
gold the Bank of Frar ce has gair ed £18,000,000, and hence the
aggregate visible supply at London aud Paris is now la j'er by
£16,000,000 than it was two years f ;o, wljioh affords reasonable
Tlie situaassur?. ice of an abundant supply in case of need.

NEW YORK, FRIDAY,
of
England has
reduced
discount rate to 4 per cent
its
at 5 per cent since Sept. 14, 1883. This indi.-ation of greater monetary ease in the foreign markets has a
considerable influence in New York, since the reduction of
the Bank rate in this case is even more significant as showing
what they expect in the future than what the status is at
the present moment. The dealings in stocks and bonds for
foreign account have been perceptibly larger, and leavUig
out of the case the so-called "scalping" operations of buy iag
in one market and selling in the other to make a fraction of 1
per cent, it is evident that this proclamation of easy money by
the Bank of England is decidedly favorable to an improvement in the steady and legitimate demand for American seouafter keeping

United States Bonds.— There has been an active business in government bonds and the principal demand seems to
run on the 3 and 3J^ per cents instead of the long bonds at
their higher prices. This is based on the general idea that
henceforth the reduction of the debt will be less rapid, in
consequence of the probable reduction in internal revenue
and customs
duties.

upon the excellent situation, so far as it depended upon the
abundant crops of 1883, and the large volume yet to be
brought to market, placing the first six months of 1883 in a
strong position compared with the same period in 1883. But,
on the other hand, prices of merchandise are lower, and
producers, having plenty of money, are able to hold back their
while as to the railroads, the
crops, and for a time may do so
winter of 1883 was so exceptionally mild that the weather and
the temporary blockades from snow this year seem to be more
severe by the comparison.
The money market has been quite easy, and stock brokers
have no difficulty in getting call loans at 83^@5 per cent,
while government bond dealers pay 2@3 per cent. Prime
commercial paper sells at 5@53>^ per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a gain of £553,000 in specie, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 44 J^, against 40^^ per cent last week the discount
rate was reduced to 4 per cent from 5, at which figure it had
remained since Sept. 14. The Bank of France gained 4,875,000
francs gold and 38,000 francs silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of Jan. 30 showed an increase of .$804,075 in their surplus
reserve, the total surplus being |8,674,775, against $7,870,700
the previous week.

week, except in
the decline of about i^c. in the rates for 60 days' sterling bills,
equalizing the price with demand bills after the reduction of
1 per cent in the Bank of England discount rate. The supply
of commercial bills in this market is barely equal to the
demand, and we must look for an outward movement in
stocks and bonds, or an increase in produce shipments, before
any imports of gold can be expected. To-day the actual rates
for prime bankers' 60 days' sterling bills were 4 82@4 83i^demand 4 85i^@4 86; cables 4 863404 86?^. Continental bills

State and Railroad Bonds. There has been some activity
Southern State bonds, arising mainly from the Arkansas
decision and its incidental influence on other bonds. At this
morning's Board the following sales were made $16,000 Arkansas 7s L. R. P. B. & N. O. issue, 38; $5,000 do L. R. & Fort
Smith, 48; $5,000 do, 491^; $3,000 Alabama Class A, 83%; $1,000

Tennessee compromise, iQjiThere is nothing definite from Nashville as to what the Legislature will positively do in regard to the debt legislation,
but some private reports state tliat the effect of Polk's default
and the discussion aroused by it may have a good effect in
inducing the adjusters to cease in their efforts to overthrow
the recent compromise.
For railroad bonds there has been a good investment demand, and dealers in bonds report a better inquiry since January 1 than at any time in the last six months of 1883.
Railroad and Miscellaueous Stocks.— The stock market
has been moderately active on declining prices. There is
apparently some lack of confidence on the part of those who
purchased for a rise, and the semi-buoyant tone of ten days
ago has been followed by a comparatively dull market, with
prices showing a tendency towards weakness.
Tliere have
been reports that among the operators who started in for a
bull pool a few weeks ago, there has been some treachery and
one or more of them sold out privately but this is merely
one of the Street rumors and is given as one of the straws indicating the direction of the breeze this week. It is concluded
that there was some difference of opinion among the Lake
Shore directors about the control of the Nickel-Plate road, or
at least in regard to issuing Lake Shore bonds to pay for the
stock of that road, and the weakness in Lake Shore and in the
N. Y. Ch. & St, L. stocks is partly attributed to this. The Union
Pacific stock has recently been one of the weakest of the list,
and there is a pretty strong bear influence against it, which
may have a greater effect from the fact that the public know
little about the whole condition of Union Pacific, including its
immense mileage of branches and roads controlled. Notliing
has been done to take the control of Jersey Central out of the
receiver's hands.
In the Northwest the extreme cold and
snow blockades in some quarters have made the earnings of
railroads in that section show a decrease compared with last
year. The rumors of an alliance between Chicago Burlington
& Quincy and Denver & Rio Grande have taken no definite
shape, and as to the Hannibal & St. Joseph it is stated that
there is no prospect of a lease, but a traffic arrangement may
be made which will prevent the building of a new line to
Chicago. At the close to-day the tone was generally weak, and
on some stocks prices were at or near the lowest point reached.

The snrplns of (344,671, and other items $35,969, in all
f 380,640, have been expended on right of way, real estate, conBtniction, equiprat-nt, and redaction of bills payable.
The report says " It will be seen from the foregoing statement of the general condition of the affairs of the company,
that while the expenses of operating our road during the pa-st
year have been 59 8-10 per cent of the gross earnings, the net
earnings have been 16 8-10 per cent upon the capital stock,
which is a very satisfactory showing." * » *
"Believing
the policy heretofore adopted of declaring a dividend to our
8* ickhulders in scrip certificates, payable at the will of the
company and bearing six percent interest, to be wise and judicious, and the net earnings of our company warrants it, we
would recommend that a similar dividend of 10 per cent be
declared out of the net earnings of the year 1883. The earnings of the road have, as we believe, been most judiciously
exoended in additi'^ns and betterments of the company's property, its value thereby greatly enhanced, and its future'eaming
power increased. The issuing of a scrip dividend as recommended is therefore just to the stockholders, and although it
will be a d^bt to be paid hereafter, it is one for which the company have received full consideration."
The capital stock of the company is $2,050,000, all paid in.
The first mortgage bonds of the company amount to $2,000,000; real estate mortgages, $195,843 ; total mortgage indebtedness, $2,195,843.
A scrip dividend of ten per cent has been
declared from the earnings of 1881, making the total scrip
indebtedness $410,000. The balance due on equipment in the
shape of bills payable, on which interest is incluaed, is as follows Payable in 18«3, $68,488 ; 1884, $31,588 ; 1885, $18,426

& PiiciBc.—The Boston Advertiser remarks that
the progress of the construction corps that " it is expected the Atlantic & Pacific will reach the Needles by tb«
middle of April. As is well known to persons familiar with/
railroad matters, the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe and the St.
Lonis & San Francisco are equally interested in the completion
of the line under the 'tripartite agreement' of January 31.
» * * It is extremely probable that the future policy1880.
of the road will be determined after the track is completed to
the Needles. Should a satisfactory trafilc arrangement beoffered by the Southern Pacific, no extension of the Atlantic ft
Pacific is probable at present. Fears have been expressed by sumftEersons who feel an interest in the Atlantic & Pacific as at least
alf a Boston institution, but who have only a slight familiarity
with the terras of the Atchiaon-'Friaco protectorate,' that a
majority of the $3,300,000 in stock to be issued during the
coming spring to the subscribers to the latest series of ' blocks^'
may be secured by the Huntington interest, and thus a preponderance in the ownership be secured by an adverse party.
Such apprehen.sions are devoid of foundation, as will be seen
by a reference to the terms of the ' tripartite agreement' under
which the road is being built. When this agreement was.
made, and as a con.sideration thereof, $19,500,000 of the common stock of the Atlantic & Pacific was issued to the Atchison
and the ' 'Frisco,' jointly, in equal shares, and placed in the
hands of Henry P. Kidder and Warren Sawyer of Boston, and
John A. Stewart of New York, as trustees, for thirty yeant..
Subsequently, $31,750,000 more was put into the samebox,'
under the
same restrictions, which are that
this stock shall be voted as a unit by the trnsteett for
thirteen directors of the Atlantic & Pacific, six to be chosen by
the Atchison, six by the 'Frisco' and the other by agreement of
the two interests if posssble, or, failing in that, by the tmstees.
In the case of the present board. Col. Henry C. Nutt.thir
President, was agreed upon by both the Atchison and 'Frisco-"
interests.'
Thus it will be seen that over $5I,00O,CO0 of thi-capital of the Atlantic & Pacific must be voted as a unit by
the trustees, and this is far more than a controliiog interest of
the stock, there being only $4,950,000 at present outside the
trustees' 'box,' and $3,300,000 to be issued this spring, the whole
making up an aggregate of fifty-nine millions of stock ontstandmg. This preponderating interest of fifty-one millions moiit
^o in a block, and cannot for thirty years b3 broken up, so th.it
It is of no .special importance who owns the outside stock
The.only two ways in which this block can be divided are
First, n
vote of three-quarters of the directors of the three companies;
Second, the bankruptcy and foreclosure of the AUaatic &
neither of which contingencies is probable."

$25,000,000, charged exclusively on the land grant and not
upon the railway. 0£ these bonds $5,000,000 are deposited
with the Government, to be surrendered after completion and
ten years operation of the railway. In the meantime they bear
no interest. Up to Dec. 1, 1882, the company have sold 6,452,000 acres of the lands, on account of which payments have
been made in cash and bonds, by means of which, after payment of all expenses, bonds have been redeemed to the amount
of $3,771,500. The balance of cash on hand amounts to
$82,673, and the balance of price of land sold remaining unpaid
to $14,796,727, payable by instalments, both of which amounts
are applicable exclusively to the redemption of the bonds. The
company still hold unsold 18,548,000 acres of land, all fit for
settlement. The capital stock of the company is $100,000,000,
divided into shares of $100 each, of which $25,000,000 are outstanding. It is now proposed to issue a further amount of

office
:
Circular No. 4.
V
Boston, Jan. 25, 18S3. )
This company has constructed its mainline from the City of Mexico
north 321 miles, from Paso del Norte south 265 miles, and on tlieTampico line 60 miles, making the total amount of road constructed, up to
our last reports from Mexico, 646 miles.
The survey made by our late chief engineer, Mr. Morley. shows that
the length of the main line Is only 1,231 miles, instead of 1,300 miles,
as before estimated. This will reduce the cost about $1,311,000.
This survey further shows that we can Sivfely reduce the estimated
cost of the line from Chihuahua to Zaeatecas, 561 miles, from $19,000
per mile, as estimated in our circular note dated Feb. 23, 1882, to
$i7,000pcr mile, amounting to $1,122,000, and making a total reduction in cost of $2,433,000.
With this redu-jtion I am satisfied that the call under this circular
will be suflioieut to complete the main lino, with sulHcient rolling stock
to operate the same for one year from the date of completion.
The board consider it of the highest importance to complete the main
line at the earliest date possible, and Messrs. Fink and Roliiusou express
the opinion that this work can be accomplished in the first quarter of
1884.
To insure this result, the board have resolved to raise the sum of
$6,032,500 at this time, and the.v now offer to sub.scribers under circular
No. 1, or their assigns, who hold subscription rights, the first right to
subscribe for that amount, each right holder under said circular being
entitled to subscribe for a number of blocks equal to the rights held by
him under circular No. 1.
After payment of the first ten per cent, no further calls will be made
until the subscription under circular No. 3 is exhausted, which will
probably be about June, 1383.
proposal.
For $1,750 in cash, payable ten per cent in ten davs from date of acceptance, and the balance as the same maybe called, but not more
than 1 5 per cent in any one month, the company will deliver to the
subscribers forty shares of the capital stock at its par value of $100 per
share, $5,000 in its thirty -year seven per cent first-mortgage bonds
and $1,000 in its income bonds.
All subscriptions must be made in sums of $1,750. or multiples thereof,
and mu.st be received at this offloo on or hsforo Mondiiy, Feb. 5, IS83,
at 2 o'clock P. M., atwhich time all rights hereuuder will cease.
Any amount rcraaiuiuguntaken at that date will be disposed of as the
directors may thLnk for the interest of the company,
Thomas Nk;ker.son, President.
Mobile & Ohio.— At Mobile, Jan. 24, William Butler Duncan,
on his own application, was relieved by the United States Circuit
Court of the receivership of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, held
since 1875, and the road was turned over to the original company, of which Mr. Duncan is President. Mr. Duncan said in
regard to the termination of the receivership: " This action of
the court in no way changes the management of the road. I
asked to be discharged as receiver, and now as president I take
possession of it. The officers who have had charge of the road
under the receivership will be continued in their former positions.
Although the litigation has been closed finally now, it
was virtually ended in 1879 when the reorganization scheme was
accepted by the holders of the company's stock and bonds.
During my receivership three-fifths of the track have been
relaid with steel rails, its rolling stock has been rebuilt and its
equipment largely increased."

Oregon Short Line. With the exception of a thirtymiles eiteneion of the Utah Northern, which it is constructing
jointly with the Northern Paolflc. the Oregon Short Line is the
principal new connection which the Union Pacific is constractmg at the present time. The line has its beginning at Granger,
Wyoming, a station on the main line of the Union Pacific, 820
miles wt'st of Omaha, or l,3iiO miles west of Chicago, leading
directly to the Northwest through a fine errazing region, and at
Hontpelier (114 miles) reaches the heart of the Bear Lake
country. Here some 12,000 Mormons hare appropriated a land
almost entirely "flowing with milk and honey." Westward for
fifty miles the track follows the Bear and Portnenf Hirers.
Bridges are used by dozens in the Portnenf canyon. At McCammon Junction, 183 miles from Granger, the Ime joins the
Utah & Northern track, and at Pocatello, 204 miles from
Granger, it leaves the Utah & Northern for the West. Pursuing its way over a fine farming country to the Northwest, the
Oregon Short Line, when 230 miles from Granger, crosses the
Great Snake River immediately over American Falls, and
thence fairly enters the lava beds, which have for so many
Tears blocked the development of Idaho. These lava becfe
nave proved the worst obstacle ever encountered in railway
construction. To make this road, in fact as well as in name,
' The
Oregon Short Line,' the locating engineers were instructed to make it perfectly straight wherever practicable.
Hence, from American Falls to Boise V'alley, a distance of
about 240 miles, it is practically an air line. The grade is now
virtually finished to Shoshone, 8.5 miles west of American
Falls, or 315 miles from Granger, and iron is laid to within fiO
miles of the same point (Shoshone). By January 10 the track
will have reached Kelton Crossing, 10 miles from Shoshone and
50 from Hailey. Shoshone will be reached by January 25.
Shoshone, located in Little Wood River Valley, in the miast of
a fine farming and grazing region, will be a division terminus,
and the inception of the Wood River branch, which runs north
69 miles to Hailey. The Wood River branch of the Oregon
Short Line (broad gauge) is almost graded from Shoshone to
Hailey, 59 miles, and track-laying will commence as c^uickly as
the rails reach Shoshone from the East. The track will be laid
to Hailey this winter, unless the snow-fall should be heavy, in
which case it will not reach that Wood River metropolis until
about June 1. From Hailey an important system of narrowgauge branches is projected to develop the camps above-named.
"Ketdrning to the main line at Shoshone, several thousand
men are scattered along the grade between Shoshone and Boise
Valley, near Boise City. The first 150 miles of grade west of
Shoshone will be ready for the iron by July 1, and as tracklayers will closely follow the graders this 150 miles will doubtless be ironed by September 1, 1883.
This will carry the line
into Boise Valley at a point about 465 miles northwest of
Granger, or 110 miles southeast of Baker City, Oregon.
" This 110 miles between Boise Valley and Baker City will be
through the largest body of farming lands between Salt Lake
Valley and the great wheat fields oi the Columbia, near Walla
Walla. And besides furnishing much the shortest route between the East and Oregon, it is claimed that 50,000,000 acres
of wheat land will be reached and a miner^ belt as extensive
and rich as all Colorado." Boston Journal.

Richmond & West Point Terminal—The Richmond &
West Point Terminal Railway & Warehouse Company negotiated last week a loan of $2,000,C00 for two years, giving its
notes in sums of $5,000, bearing 6 per cent interest. These
notes are secured by collaterals deposited with the Central
Trust Company, having a face value of $17,704,600, the actual
value being estimated at $3,888,090. Of this transaction the
circular of Messrs. Hambleton & Co., bankers, in Baltimore,
" A portion of these securities, having been already
says
pledged as security for debts against the company, must be
released before the trust deed can be perfected; 50 per cent
of the subscription is made payable on or before January 20,
within a week of which time the trust is to be executed. The
company reserves the right to withdraw the Danville Extension
stocks from the trust at any time upon the payment of the
amount at which it is valued therein, $200,000
" The notes of the company, secured by these collaterals,
were subscribed for at ttO per cent of their face value, and as
they are to be redeemed in two years at 100 cents on the dollar
the loan will cast 11 per cent per annum, which is probably as
low a rate as could be expected on the security oifered."
:
"The money received by the Terminal Company from tha
sale of it« notes at 90 cents on the dollar will relieve it anyhow
temporarily from its financial difficulties, but whether the relief
will be permanent remains to be seen.
In order to get possession of the Virginia Midland stock te deposit as collateral in
the Trust Company the Terminal Company will be obliged t*
pay the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company the balance due
on the purchase of the Virginia Midland stock. When this is
done it will be an interesting qruestion as to whether Mr. Garrett will give up the control of the Virginia Midland Railroad,
or whether he will hold on to it after the Danville Company
has paid for the purchase."
Rochester & Pittsburg. The time within which the income
bonds of the Rochester & Pittsbnrg Railroad could be exchanged for consolidated first mortgage bonds has expired, and
nearly all of the former bonds are reported to have been
presented for exchange. The company cow issues its consolidated bonds.

of 1878 will be redeemed in cash on Feb. 6. Upon all the remaining
issues of scrip an interest dividend of 6 per cent is payable on
Feb. 6. The excellent management of the Atlantic is too well
known to require any editorial comment. In fact the Atlantiti
Mutual is one of those corporations that form its own best advertisement, and all that shippers need is to look at its figures.
The return of the Mutual Life Insurance Company for the
year 1882 will be found in our advertising columns to-day. Th&
exhibit of this, the largest of the life companies, is certainly in
the highest degree encouraging, and shows that the confidence
with which the company is regarded by the public is deserved,
and rests upon a sure foundation excellent management,ample reserves, and financial resources of great strength.

The Washington Life Insurance Company publishes ita
twenty-third annual statement, showing that the bo.siness of the
year just closed has been large, and the net assets are increasing. The gross as.sets are $6,574,020, and the surplus as regards
policy holders, $930,192. In order to lessen losses by forfeiture
of policies for non-payment of premiums the company applies
the cash value of the dividends to the credit of each policy,
and continues it until the dividend is exhausted. The company
is well known in New York and throughout the country.
The Manhattan Life In.surance Company publishes its
thirty-third annual report and invites the examination of its
policy-holders, and of business men who are inclined to take
out new policies on their lives. Its income during the last year
was over $2,000,000, while its total disbursements were less
than $1,350,000. The gro.ss assets now amount to over $10..500,000, and the net surplus is about two and a quarter million
dollars.

1st Vice-President; Mr. H. B. Stokes, 2d Vice-President; Jlr.
H. Y. Wemple, Secretary and Mr. S. N. Stebbins, Actuary; and
under the management of these officers the company has made
the progress noted in recent years.
The Royal (Fire) Insurance Company of Liverpool. Eng., is
one of the large and ably managed English companies doing
business in the United States. Its annual statement in the advertising columns of the Chronicle shows that the total assets

On Wednesday, with
Liverpool still weak, the decline of Tuesday afternoon was recovered; but on Thursday there was a
fresh decline of 4@5 points for the active months. To-day
there was a firmer but variable market, with an unsettled
closing.
Cotton on the spot advanced l-16c. on Wednesday.
The demand continued to be mainly for home consumption,
but more was done than recently for speculation and export.
To-day the market was steady at 10 3-16c. for middling

The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
has been more active the past week, and prices, though variable as usual, have shown an upward tendency. From Satur.

points, owing to the prevalence of unfavorable weather at the
South, bad roads and local floods threatening a check upon
the crop movement, and putting a total stop to such work of

Rbobifts from thb Plahtatioss. ^The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the ontports are sometimes misleading, as they are made 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 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
wtuch finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

JuTB BuTTO. BAoaina, Brc. The market for bagging has
l>een rather quiet since our last report, and f«w parcels are
being- taken.
Buyers continue indifferent about laying in any
lari^e supplies, and are only taking small parcels to till present
requirements. Prices are unchanged, though the feeling is
ea.sy; bat holders will not shade quotations for the lots moving,
and at the close the asking figures were (3J4c- for l)^ lbs., "iMo.
for I'A lbs., 8c. for 2 lbs. and S%^9a. for standard grades
Butts are also quiet, and beyond a few transiotions for sm\ll
orders we hear of no busineds. Holders are steady as to price
close, though the present quotations are lower than when
last wrote, and paper grades are now quoted at2J^@2/io.,

Fkidat. p. M., January 23, 18S3.
Flour has sold pretty freely this week, and at one time was
very firm in price, owing to an advance in wheat; but latterly
some irregularity in the cereal prices for its product have been
somewhat weaker. The supply however, is much less burdensome than formerly, and indeed that of some of the winter
grades is quite moderate, and it is slated that within a month
the production has been somewhat reduced.
To-day the
market was quiet and lower in some cases.
Wheat has been active on speculation at times, owing to a
demand from shorts to cover their contracts, and the same has
been the case at Chicago; prices, however, have shown no wide
fluctuations. The export demand has been in a measure
restricted by some advance, but latterly exporters' limits have
been increased, and this fact and somewhat easier rates for
ocean freight room have caused some increase in the foreign
trade. The

to

at

West and consequent obstructions to railroad
transportation. Foreign markets
have
been firm, and the visible supply in the United States has
shown some reduction, though it may be added that the
heavy snows in the great winter wheat belt of this country
have provided a gpod covering for that crop and dispelled fears
of harm that were entertai ned in many sections a month ago.
Options have latterly been alternately firm and weak, accordina as the shorts have covered their contracts or holders at^

Indian corn has been quiet for export, and, though strong
early in the week, cash has within a day or two shown depression.
Options have advanced in response to a steady rise in
Chicago, where it is stated a large amount of shorts have been
settled, the marked decrease in the receipts favoring the attempt to corner that market. The excitement at the West has,
moreover, at times been reflected to some extent in the upward
course of prices here. Within a few days the Chicago market
|1
has shown weakness, however, and prices here have also been
more or less depressed, this fact being attributed, not only as
regards this market but Chicago, to sales to realize the profits
that have lately accrued. To-day the market was irregular,
