RETURNS.
of this week's statement of clearings
which arrests attention is the decided falling off in the total
at New York.
A decline of 346 per cent compared with last
r
The
first
feature
large loss, but if we go one step further we find
that this loss may have been, and probably was, wholly caused
by the decline in speculation and not by any check in ordi¬
nary business transactions.
Thus, for instance, sales of stocks
fell off 36*4 per cent, sales of cotton 12T per cent, sales of grain
26’4 per cent and sales of petroleum 10*3 per cent. Tak¬
ing Stock Exchange transactions alone, they represent a
market value of only $53,273,000, against $109,006,000 for the
corresponding days of 1883, and if we made the usual deduc¬
tion of double these amounts from the total clearings, the
exchanges otherwise arising are seen to be $283,815,833 and
$406,781,739 for the two years respectively. Now if from
these totals we were also to deduct the values of the sales of
produce, &c., given above, we should, as stated, probably find
little difft rence for the two years in the ordinary business

Lowell figures are also better, but their
reported exchanges have been more variable.
Still another feature of these clearings which needs explana¬
tion is the large decrease in the total in both years from the
previous week’s figures. This is due in the first place to the
fact that the returns, on account of the Christmas holiday,
cover only five days, and in the second place to the circum¬
stance that business transactions during the closing we k of
the year are always restricted.

The directors of the road have issued a circular to the such a narrow margin as this, how do the earnings thus

the previous year ?
The company’s circular discusses this

this will help to remove many erroneous impressions with point only in a general way, but from the monthly figures
furnished us we have made up the following statement.

through the era of depression any the more readily than
most other roads operating a large amount of new mile¬
age, but simply that the action of the managers in pro¬
viding, under circumstances of great difficulty, the money
needful to meet the last coupon, had infused (and justly)
an unusual degree of faith in both them and their enter¬
prise.
It will be remembered that in the critical period suc¬
ceeding the crisis of last May, when it was almost an
impossibility to raise money on any kind of security,
and when many railroad companies had to succumb as
a consequence, the
East Tennessee found itself encum¬
bered with a troublesome floating debt, with large inter¬
est payments maturing the 1st of July, and with the
chief friend and promoter of the enterprise, as well as the
banking institution which he represented and which had
many
times aided it, involved in bankruptcy.
In
this dilemma certain influential members of the board
came
to
the rescue
of the read, subscribed for
$1,200,000 plain debenture bonds, unsecured, pay¬
ing for the same 100 or full par value, though the
company’s consolidated bonds then commanded only
about fifty cents on the dollar, and thus relieved the
management of a pressing necessity and at the same time
made it possible for it to meet the July interest payments.
The action of the directors was so unique in this respect—it
happening so seldom that members will apply their own
resources to sustain the property with which they are
identified—that we deemed it worthy of special comment
and praise.
Now, however, that the next coupon has
been defaulted, this action to many appears to wear a
different look, and, as is natural under the circumstances,
there is a disposition to question its disinterestedness, and
even to charge bad faith.
But we are free to say that' to
us there appears nothing to justify such a charge.
In
fact, we think that their latest action, in the absence of
self-preference that it displays, is on a par with their
former action, for the plan submitted proposes not only to
defer cash payment of interest on the consolidated mort¬
gage bonds, but also on the very debenture bonds that the
directors took at par only six months ago.
In view of
this evidence of good faith and considerate treatment, it is
only fair to seek in the condition of the property itself a

full interest in the current fiscal year, unless indeed the
earnings of subsequent months should show an increase
over the previous year, which, however, the indications at
the moment do not favor. Moreover, the directors state in
the circular that they do not think it wise to estimate
either the 1885 or 1886 net earnings at above $1,400,000,
or $300,000 less
than in the year ended June 30, 1884.
With this prospect of successive annual deficiencies, the
question of paying the January coupons it is clear was a
matter of expediency, and all things considered we think
it best that the directors finally decided to state the case
plainly to the bondholders and ask their indulgence. It is not
good policy to increase liabilities in times like these, either
for the purpose of paying interest or dividends.
It must
be remembered that when the money was borrowed last

be asked how the statement that the company
only $50,000 cash on hand that could have been applied
to the January interest, harmonizes with the statement made
last July that the taking of the debenture bonds had virtu¬
ally extinguished the floating debt. If at the beginning of
the fiscal year, it will be argued, the company had no floating
debt, why are not the full net earnings that have since
accrued on hand and available for this purpose ? In five
months the company earned net $725,000, and if the Decem¬

$135,000 we should judge—and that would cut down
the $825,000 net earnings correspondingly; but apart from
this, that sort of reasoning is defective, because it assumes

$120,000, or $925,700 together. Thus the company
could apply that amount of net earnings for two years

Now, however, a change has come,
the December exhibit for the whole country is made up
and in a very pronounced way, too. Instead of import totals
at Washington, it will present another very large balance in
up to 55 and 80 millions, we have this month an aggregate
of only a little above 45 millions.

superinduced, of course, by the

the exports and by the
general industrial depression everywhere prevailing. But
perhaps even more influential to this end was and is the
fear about our gold basis engendered by the continued
coinage of silver. Wi ll our currency in a natural state,
and its operations unimpaired by legislative restrictions,
there would be no great cause for uneasiness, even if

silver and gold in effect undervalued (thus tend¬
ing to drive the latter ultimately out of the country), with
the trade movement against us, and with a stock of gold
by no means in excess of our needs,—in this condition of
things the situation was precarious, and the need for
retrenchment in the imports imperative. Of course, in the
sense that the smaller imports defer the
danger dreaded
and swell the balance in our favor, they are a favorable
feature.
But in so far as they reflect complete and utter
stagnation of all business interests, they can not so be
regarded. If this industrial distress, however, leads to a
removal of the main cause that promotes its existence it
will not have been in vain.
As it may be thought, per¬
haps, that imports have diminished at the expense of
stocks in the warehouses, we will say that though the
amount in bond has been decreasing, as usual at this sea¬
son, the total on December 1 was still $32,364,095, while
a year ago it had been only. $28,270,924,
in 1882 $28,029,3,30, and.in 1 SSI only $23,830,703.

When compared with 1SS1, the-year of short crops, there
is quite an increase—7-j million dollars.
The large total is
somewhat a surprise, since the preliminary figures of the
breadstuff's exports for the month had shown a decrease of
$3,675,585. and the provisions exports a further decrease
of $2,007,740. or $5,743,331 toge her.

which, however, is offset by a contraction of 98,000 barrels
of Hour (equal to about 440,000 bushels of wheat).
On
the whole, therefore, it may be said the contraction in the
value of the breadstuffs exports is almost entirely due to
the lower prices realized on the shipments.
On wheat, for
instance, the average per bushel is a little less than 79
cents, while in November, 1883, it was close to $1 08.

the imports of merchandise did not begin to fall off largely

a prominent firm of government bond dealers and partly by
the general pressure to realize.
The calls for 3 per cent bonds

was the culminating point in a period of eleven years,
during which time had occurred the slow recovery from the
crash of 1873, the rise and development of the most gigantic
speculation in railroads that any country had ever seen, and
finally th? inevitable downward movement continued during
nearly three years from July, 1881, and ending in May, 1884,
with what came near to being a serious fhuncial crisis.
At
the end of three years of unparalleled shrinkage in Stock
Exchange values, the crash was at last precipitated by the
turning lip of aline of frauds in financial operations which
had hardly been matched before—and the worst and heaviest
of these frauds was perpetrated under ilu* influence of the
name (though not with the personal connivance) of that dis¬
tinguished soldier and President G neral U. S. Grant. The
names of Fish of the Marine Bank, Grant & Ward, John C.
Eno, and a few others, must be woven into the history of
May, 1884.

“The detailsof the month’s operations have been given from
week to week in the Chronicle, and need not be repeated
here. The Marine Bank and Grant & Ward suspended on
Tuesday, May 5, and the following week the Metropolitan
Bank suspended, followed by a number of banker and broker
firms, and she height of ti'o excitement was reached.

by issuing “ Clearing House certificates,‘‘ by which means’ the
Metropolitan Bank was enabled to resume on Thursday, May
15, the day after its suspension. The Second National Bank
was robbed of about $3,000,000 by th-* stock speculations of its
President, John C. E110, but this deficiency was immediately
made good by the father of the defaulter and other directors.’7
The greatest depression in.1 one and in the prices of many stocks
was reached about Friday, June 27, when the an mitigated bear
attacks on the market led to such an overselling that there
was a very quick rally the.next day and a semi-panic among
the bears.

year
comparatively gloomy feeling at the Stock Ex¬
change, hut it was quite evident that a strong effort to depress
values was added to the natural effect produced by the unsatis¬
factory business outlook. When many false rumors are circu¬
lating in the air without any person willing to be responsible for
them, and at the same time the loaning rates for leading stocks
are
high, it is pretty good evidence of a determined purpose to
drive down prices.
"With the opening of the new year there was a decided change
in tone, and the Stock Exchange showed immediately the effect
of the better feeling. There were very few defaults which had not
been fully discounted beforehand in their effect on the
market,
and there wars also a belief that as the depression in December
was in a measure forced, it was done for the
purpose of getting
stocks down where they would be a good purchase.
With the disbursement in January of
something like
$100,000,000 for interest and dividends in the several Atlantic
cities, there will come a demand for stocks and bonds for in¬
vestment.
Among the securities which will naturally attract
attention are many of the low-priced railroad
mortgage bonds,
which, although they may be temporarily in default, have the im¬
portant quality of being cumulative, inasmuch as the accrued
und overdue interest is secured by the mortgage
lien equally
with the principal.
Thus avc tind that to-day such mortgage
bonds as the Philadelphia & Reading generals carry 3
per cent
unpaid interest and Erie 2nd consols 0 per cent, which are
included in the prices of the bonds as quoted.
Rates for call loans during the wreek on stock and bond col¬
laterals have ranged at 1@1} per cent and
to-day at the same
figures. Prime commercial paper is quoted at 4}@5} per cent.
The Bank of England w eekly statement on
Thursday showed
a
gain in specie of £192,822, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 33$, against 87 13-10 last week; the discount rate
remains at 5 per cent.
The Bank of France lost 13,030,000
francs in gold and 0,003,000 francs in silver.
The New York Clearing House banks, in their statement of
Dec. 27, showed an increase in surplus reserve of
$258,150, the
surplus being $40,944,775, against $40,080,025 the previous

United States Bonds.—The dealings in government bonds
have been unusually brisk the past week,
many large transact¬

preparing to make their
January 1. Prices, in consequence, have
stiffened, and part of last week’s depression has been recovered.
The closing prices at the N. Y. Board have been as follows:

State and Railroad Bonds.—State bonds have sold a
trifle more actively, the sales embracing $20,000 Tennessee com¬
promise bonds at 484; $13,000 Virginia 6s deferred at 5-6 ;
$2,000 Alabama, class A, at 834.
Railroad bonds have been moderately active, and the specula¬
tive classes irregular in tone.
East Tennessee 5s and incomes
have been the most active and broke severely early in the week
in consequence of the inability of the company
to meet the
interest on the former and the resignation of Mr. Seney from
the directory.
Erie seconds have been less active than usual,
but strong.
West Shore 5s were heavily sold to-day and de¬
clined to 371, the reason for this movement not being
apparent.
East Tennessee 5s close at 44, against 48 last Friday; do.
incomes at 10, against 11}; West Shore os at 37}, against
40}; Erie 2ds at 58}, against 56}; Chesapeake & Ohio series B

Denver & Rio Grande lsts at 80, against 81}.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The last week of
the year was controlled by bear influences in the stock
market,
and the price of nearly every stock on the list was wxak and
declining. There were many depressing rumors afloat affect¬

Atlantic & Pacific.—This company’s sale of
1,000,000 acres
grazing land to the Aztec- Land & Cattle Co. is rumored
to be at 50 cents per acre.
The land transferred is located in
Central Arizona, and extends along the south side of the rail¬
road for about 150 miles.
Its sale will give the company such
funds as it requires for its immediate needs, and the January
interest on its first mortgage bonds, amounting to $480,000,
will be promptly paid.
The Boston Advertiser says: “The Aztec Land and Cattle
Company is composed of: New York and Boston capitalists,
who have not yet formally organized, but will do so next
Saturday. One-half of the proposed $1,000,000 of capital has
been paid in.
The land which they have secured is said to be
well watered, and in all respects as well adapted to grazing as
any in the Southwest.

“
The result of the year’s operations is a loss of $74,084, but
the condition of the property has been improved by new steel

Mr. Cl rk estimated the net

$100,000 in 1883.
The managers of the New England car trust afterwards
voted not to accept the proposition above stated.
—A comparative statement of earnings and operating ex-
also from discontinuance of trains not needed for the
business, and from a reduction of a number of salaried officers

It is estimated that this item will amount to
$200,000 a year. Then there will be permanent improvements,
to be paid for with the proceeds of improvement bonds. Based
upon the cost of such work last year, this item will add to the
value of the property not less than $200,000 a year. Adding
to these items the interest accruing to the Eastern under the

extended option on $3,000,000 at the same price and commis¬
sion.
It is understood that the syndicate has taken these
bonds, and that $1,500,000 of them were sold to the Berlin
Bank. This, says the Dow & Jones News Letter, leaves the
syndicate with $1,650,000 of the bonds and the company with
$993,000 of the bonds. The Transcript says : “This negotia¬
tion frees Northern Pacific from all floating indebtedness,
and leaves it with $300,000 worth of supplies and materials on
hand, $1,200,000 2nd mortgage bonds and $500,000 1st mort¬
gage bonds to come from completion next month of Ashland
Division.”
The company has ordered the contractors to push the work
on the line between Ashland and Superior.
Six miles of iron
remain to be laid and two bridges to be completed before the
link of the two ends of the track can be connected. The entire
line between Ashland and Superior was to be completed and
in running order by January 1.
The three United States Railroad Commissioners, Messrs.
Wheeler, McDonald and Langdon, who were appointed by
President Arthur to inspect the completed section on the Cas¬
cade Division, have examined and accepted that portion of the
road.
In a few days a section will be completed on the

CONSTRUCTION, EQUIPMENT AND BET
The actual cost of the 190 miles of the
new
roads constructed
by the company lias largely exceeded the estimated cost. The
physical condition of the roads purchased by the company
necessitated the expenditure of large sums in the improve¬
ment of roadway and track; the construction and reconstruc¬
tion of bridge masonry and bridge superstructure.
Tiie
facilities for the conduct of the company's business were
entirely inadequate to the requirements of its increasing
traffic.-, and had to be enlarged. Unfortunately the company
did not fully provide for these expenditures, and the shrinkage
of the value of its securities greatly aggravated the evil, and
want of sufficient means lias prevented the completion of

The officers of the company estimate that in order to enable
them to operate the road economically there must be expended,
in the years 1885 and 1886, for construction and better¬
ments, including steel rails, iron bridges, terminals, &o., the
of $1,117,217.

The i cmmittec reported that there are various amounts of
the divisional bonds maturing during the years 1835, 1886 and
1387, but that provision was made for the issue of sufficient
1880, known as the divisional os, to pay the same at
5s of
maturity.
The board at present represents a very large interest in the
bonds of which it is proposed to fund coupons, but the com¬
mittee recommended that additional representation should be
provided for if desired.
The Committee believed it to be for the best interests of all
the parties concerned to adopt this proposed plan, thus re¬
lieving the Company permanently of its financial embarrass¬
ments, and enabling it in the future to meet all of its obliga¬
tions. The money which it is proposed to borrow from the
bondholders will be expanded in improving and in making
additions to thrir property, thus enhancing the value of their
security.
The contemplated improvement of tbe condition of
the Company's road will enable it to make large reductions in
the operating expenses, and additional facilities for conducting
its business will result in an increase of the gross revenues.
It is proper to call attention to the fact, that, owing to delay
in completing important connecting roads, and the inability
the part of this Company from want of sufficient means to
put its road in proper condition, it has so far failed to derive
on
gross earnings for
full benefit from the construction of its new lines and the ex¬
$4,173,263 30 ; but
tension of its old ones.
These connections have now been per¬
as it is reasonable to suppose that this
property will share in
fected, proper traffic arrangements have been made, and it! is
the decline in
tonnage and rates now affecting all other rail¬
road properties, the Committee thought it prudent to deduct reasonable to expect that with the renewal of the industries
of the country the Company’s system of roads will enjoy that
ten per cent from the gross earnings for the last fiscal year,
and estimate the gross earnings for each of the calendar years measure of prosperity to which it is entitled by reason of its
of 1885 and 1886 at $3,750,000.
This rate of decrease is some¬ favorable geographical location and inherent strength.
The report of the Committee has been approved by the
what greater than the falling off in the last half of 1884, as
Board and the Executive Officers of the Company, and a
compared with the last half of 1883. and while the Committee
felt sanguine that this rate of decrease will not continue, Funding Committee of the Board instructed to take the neces¬
but that, on the other hand, the earnings will show a mate¬ sary steps to carry the proposed plan into execution.
As it is desired to conclude the funding by February 10th,

feel it safe to base their calculations upon any such in¬ 1885, bondholders who assent to the proposed plan are requested
to sign the enclosed form of assent, and mail it to the East

Brazil coffees have been quiet on the spot, but are quoted
firm at the close at 9%c. for fair cargoes of Rio. The speculation
has been sluggish and prices were drooping and unsettled,
until to-day, when there was some recovery, and the close

Spelter neglected.
Ocean freights show a considerable decline in rates to
British ports, the speculation in wheat and corn checking
shipments of these staples, except at reduced rates. On
Wednesday the engagements embraced 176,000 bushels grain
to London by steam at 5)^d. for corn and 5t£d. for wheat;
and to-day to Liverpool the current rate for wheat was 5t£d ,
with shipments to Glasgow at 64.
To Cork for orders a
number of charters for grain have been recently reported at
4s. 9d. hence, and 43. 61.@ 4s. 7%d. from Baltimore.
Petro¬
leum charters have continued quiet, but we notice a small

bark, 2s. 3d.; to Hull, another, 2s. 2d. Crude to Cefcle 2s. 9d, ;

early advance on Saturday, but it was not sustained ; and on

following table ia
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement eachr
veek from the plantations.
Receipts at the out ports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
chan another at the expense of the interior stocks.
We reach,,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following.
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipt*
or Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of tho
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop*
which finally reaches the market through the outports.

MIDDLING COTTON ON-
154,075 bales, the actual movement from plantations was
140,043 bales, the balance being taken from the stocks at
the interior towns.
Last year the receipts from the plantation*
for the same week were 126,27G bales and for 1883 they were
228,789 bales.
Amount of Cotton in Sight Jan. 2.—In the table below*
we give the receipts from plantations in another form, and add
to them the net overland movement to Dec. 1, and also the
takings by Southern spinners to the same date, so as to give
substantially the amount of cotton now in sight.

it impossible to keep out of our figures, as cabled to us for the

Comparative Port Receipts and Daily Crop
Movement
comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate ’
as the weeks in different years do not end on the same day of
the month. We have consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader may
constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement
for
the years named.

September 1, 1884, and in previous years, has been as follows:

THE
DRY GOODS
TRADE.
Friday, P M.,
The market
for dry goods
January 2, 1883.
has been characterized by
the
general features usually witnessed at the close of the
year.
But little new business was done by the commission
houses, local jobbers being too busily engaged in taking
account of stock and making up their semi-annual balance
sheets to bestow much attention upon merchandise, and out-

as a preliminary to “ stock-taking,” some of the leading job¬
bers effected liberal sales of domestics, prints, ginghams*
dress goods, etc., by means of low prices; but the jobbing
trade in the regular way was of limited dimensions.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—There was a meagre demand for
plain and colored-cottons at agents’ hands, both jobbere
the manufacturing trade having seemingly resolved to defer
operations until later on. Some large blocks of goods were
charged up by agents, and delivered to local and interior
jobbers on account of former transactions, but new

“futures’’ remained steady at 3%c., and 56x60’s were unchanged
at 2 1316c. Prints were mostly quiet as regards new business,
but large deliveries of shirting styles were made in execution
of back orders, and such was the case with printed lawns and
piques. Ginghams and wash fabrics were in fair demand in
this market, and considerable orders were placed for desirable
makes through the medium of salesmen on the road.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—Although there was a fair
movement in certain makes of worsted suitings and coatings
(also choice all-wool cassimeres and trouserings), in execution
of former orders, the general demand for clothing woolens
was conspicuously light and discouraging to both manufac¬
turers and their agents.
The clothing trade are not only
cautious, but apathetic, and jobbers are placing orders for
spring woolens in the most conservative manner. Tne results
of the past year’s business have been unsatisfactory to most
and

a
appointed and most ably directed worsted mills have probably
returned a fair profit on the capital invested. Jersey cloths
continued ih pretty good demand by the manufacturing trade
but there was a comparatively small business in cloakings’
tricots and sackings, while other woolens adapted to the
wants of dry goods jobbers, as flannels, blankets, worsted
dress goods, shawls, skirts, etc., continued in very light de¬
mand at first hands, but fairly steady in price.
Foreign Dry Goods ruled very quiet in the hands of im¬
porters as regards personal selections, and the order demand
was
almost wholly restricted to small lots of specialties
actually needed for the renewal of assortments. Importa¬
tions are coming forward slowly, and there is ample reason
for the belief tnat orders for the spring trade have been
placed in the European markets with a much greater degree Of
caution than in former years.
The jobbing trade was mostly
quiet, but a fair distribution of assor ted goods was made (at
low f gures) by a few leading firms, who make a point of
offering extra inducements at the close of the year in order to
get rid of their surplus stocks.
