It should be remembsred as an important fact for the advocates of a forced silver coinage that the panic of 1884 came upon the coui.try when it was glutted with a superabundance of coin and currency for circulation, and the continued coinage of depreciated silver, instead of helping the country with easy money, did much to bring on the bad condition of business, by shaliing confidence in the stability of our circulating medium. In the May panic rates advanced to abnormal prices, aid at one time mon y could hardly he obtained at any figure, and in some cases stockbrokers paid 5 per cent per annum plus 3 per cent a day for loans. Rates soon relaxed when the timidity following the panic had passed away, and in the last half of the j ear rales were excessively low, seldom ruling above 3 per cent as the maximum rate on st^ck collaterals. Mercantile paper was naturally higher, owing to the great uncertainty as to the standing of business houses, and the best double-name paper went at 4}^ca0 per cent. I^te in the year the leading New York Clearing House banks agreed to pay only 2 per cent interest chandise began to decline and there was a better feeling in American securities; also in the autumn months a large export movement of cotton. Rates of exchange fell oflF July, and there was a moderate Rates in August and September were firmer, and when they declined again and gold imports were beginning, the advance in the Bank of England rate to 5 iier cent in October checked the movement. During the balance of the year the rates fluctuated, but kept slightly above tlie specie importing point. siiai'ply in June and importation of gold. RAILROAD AND MISCELLAN"EOUS STOCK.S. The stock market opened in January with depression which was brought over from December. On the first of the year a receiver was appointeJ for the New York & New England Railroad, and a break in West Shore bonds and appointment of a receiver for the North River Construction Company, together with a new break in Oregon & Trans-Continental und the Northern Pacifies, caused a gloomy feeling in the market. On the 38th of the month a turn was given by the formation of a syndicate which made a loan to the Oregon & Ti'ans-Continental on the pledge of its stocks, and thereafter a quick move against the shorts was made which caused a sharp advance in prices and a firm tone during the balance of the month and tliroughout most of February, when the speculative support kept up prices till near the end of that month. On tlie first of March the corner in Delaware Lakawanna & Western took place, on deposits. which carried the price up to 133'^ regular and 139i^ for cash. The following table shows the rates for call loans secured This was demoralizing to the bears, and about tlie middle by collaterals and the rates for prime commercial paper of two of the month another squeeze in N. Y. Central to 133 increased the feeling. Under the influence of these corners there was to four months' time during each week of the year 1884: a chance for the large Week endtnc Friday. Jan.

There were no special feature? in government bonds during the year, except the precipitate decline of 5 |)er cent in the May panic, which w«b ocuasioaed partly by the suspension of a prominent firm of government bond dealers and partly by the general pre-ssuro to realize. The calls for 3 per cent bonds by theTre:isuryam)unte<i to $70,000,000 in caUs at different dates up to St-pt. 20, after which the decreasing revenues and large demand for pensions and decrease of gold in the Treasury, prevented furtlier calls The following shows the dates apd amounts of the calls er cent bonds made during the year: '•This was the culminating point in a period of eleven years, during which time had occurred the slow recoverv 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 neariy three years from July, 1881, and ending in May, 1884, with what came near to being a serious fin incial crisis. At the end of throe years of unpiralleled shrinUa.ge in Stock Exchange values, the crash was at last precipitated by the turning up of a line of frauds in financial operations which had hardly been matchi'd before— and the woi-st and heaviest of thesu frauds was perpetrated under ih-' influence of the name (though not with the pe sonal connivance) of that distiuguished soldier and Presiden% G iieral U, S. Grant. The names of Fish of the Mirine Bank, Grant & Ward, John C. Erio, and a few others, must be woven into the history ' of May, 1884. "Theidetailsof the month's operations have been uiven from week to week in the Chronicle, and need not be repeated The Mirme Bank and Grant & Ward suspended on luesday, May 5, and the following week the Motroiwlitan Bank suspended, followed by a number of banker and broker firms, and ihe height of tiie excitement was reached. The Ue^irmg House banks joined together 1 support each other by issuing "Clearing House certifictttes," by which means the 1 .Metropolitan Bank was enal)led 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 1 resident, John C. Eno, but this deficiency wa.s immediately made good by the father of the defaulter and other directors.'^' 1 he greatest depression in i one and in the prices of many stocks was reached about Friday, June 27, when the unmitigated bear market led to hucli an overselling that there was a very quick rally the next day and a semi-panic among for 3 the bears. After the first of July and Cue occurrence of very few defaults by railroads, there was a wonderful recovery in attacks on the January 8, THE CHRONICLE. 1885.J in prices, from whicli tliere was never afterwanls a relajwe to tno panicky feeling of May ami June.

Y. Central & Hudson over passenger rates. From the termination of the I'resiilential election excitement, late in November, till the end of the year, there never was a iioarty buU movement in stocks. It hail been generally accepted for some months that Mr. Vanderbilt was practically a bear on the situation, and had sold a large amount of his stocks, and on December 12th the I.,ackawanna pool close<Iout their holdings 80 that there was no strong supjiort left to the market, and prices closed at the end of the year with great depression. In the last four condition by the first of September. months of the year the benotlt of the large crop movement was greatly counteracted by the diaagreement among the railroads and cutting of rates, and by the bad condition of the anthracite coal trade, the default of Keadmg, and especially by .aJOTATIONS OF STERLING EXCHA.N(iE FOR [Compiled from 11 tlio (iTiotiitlons EVERY DAY TFIK 4 S3 4 ai 4 a?

This will arise from the absence of competition for freight and passengers, which has, in spite of agreements for pooling, &c., cost both roads large sums; also from discontinuance of trains not needed for the bueiness, and from a reduction of a number of salaried officers and agents. It is estimated that this item will amount to fSOO.OOO a year. Then there will be permanent improvements, to b© 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 Eastprn under the lease, |855,C54 91, the payment to the sinking fund of |100,000, and the balance of rental stipulated, $336,000, there is an aggregate of $1,291,554 91, which is more than the total of interest on the Eastern's debt and 6 per cent on its preferred and common New York & New England. At a meeting of the New England representatives the New York of Railroad and of the car trust bondholders, a proposition of the Finance Committee to scale the floating debt and It was car trust bonds and fund them was received. proposed to offer to the car trust bondholders 6 per cent second mortgage bonds, which are claimed to be better security than their present bonds, provided they will waive one-half the interest for ten years; that is, surrender their bonds and the & equipment and take second mortgage bonds at par, stamped to 3 per cent for ten years. Mr. CI rk eslimated the net earnings for the last three months of 1884 at $159,000. The road earned $104,000 net in October, and it is understood that the net earnings for November are over $80,000. December will also show net earnings in contrast with a deficit of $100,000 in 1883.

The board at present represents a very large interest in the of the value of its securities greatly aggravated the evil, and want of sufficient means has prevented the completion of bonds of which it is proposed to fund coupons, but the comnecessary work on the new and old roads. This work can no mittee recommended that additional representation should be Ab will be seen by the foregoing Tbe Interest clmrgcs proper for tlie caleLdar j-car 1885, S — : if ' longer l>p provided for deferred. The oflicers of the company estimate that in order to enable them to operate the road econpmically there must be expended, in the years 1885 and 1886, for construction and betterments, including steel rails, iron bridges, terminals, &c.. the of 11,117,217. obvious that the present net revenues of the company are wholly inadequate to the company's requiremenis in retpect to the necessary expenditures for construction, equip- sum It is ment and betterments. To meet the charges shown above the Company has. no re- sources but the net earnings of its property. These amounted, during ihe fiscal year ending June 30th, 1884, to about $1,700,000 00 but the Committee preferred to bafse the plan which it presented upon the gross earnings as ascertained up to this date, and as estimated for the future. The gross earnings for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1884. were $4,173,263 30 but as it is reasonable to suppose that this property will share in the decline in tonnage and rates now affecting all other railroad properties, the Committee thought it prudent to deduct ten per cent from tlie gross earnings for the last fiscal year, and estimate the gross earnings for each of the calendar years of ISai and 1886 at $3,750,000. This rate of decrease is somewhat greater than the falling oiT in the last half of 1884 as compared with the last half of 1883. and while the Committee felt sanguine that this rate of decrease will not continue, r-btit that, on tlie other hand, the earnings will show a mate,-rial increase in the last half of 1885 and 1886, they did not feel it safe to lui.se their calculations upon any such in) -crease, nor upon any less rate of decline. The road can be operated and maintained in good condition for less than 60 per cent of this gross revenue, which would leave, at 40 per «ent, net earnings for each of the calendar years of 1885 and 1886 of $1,400,000, As tlie total payments duiing said years *^ 'mit $1,7.50,000, there will be a deficit in each year it or, including the pre-ifnt deficit, a total of aboiil ; ; ' y anf «n'=l"'''ng January 1st,- 1887. To this must fl added ij . be about $1,000,000. renmred by the General Manager for .steel rails, iron bridges, finances upon a sound basis. that no additional u^ortgage can be created on account of the mortgage securing the income bonds. The committee th^refore recommended that the comnanv secure the $2,250,000 necessary to cover such deficit and its And make such improvpmenls by asking the forbearance of the holders of all obligations except the divisional bonds, which are for small amounts and on separate portions of the property. THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED , desired. believed it to be for the best interests of all the parties concerned to adopt this proposed plan, thus relieving the Company permanently of its financial embarrassments, and enabling it in the future to meet all of its obligations. The money which it is proposed to borrow frem the bondliolders will be exp-jnded in improving and in making additions to thfir property, thus enhancing the value of their security. The contemplated improvement of tlie 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 nt the gross revenues. It is proper to call attention to the fact, that, owing to delay in completing important connecting roads, and the inability on the part of this Company from want of sufficient means to put its road in proper condition, it has so far failed to derive full benefit from the construction of its new lines and the extension of its old ones.- These connections have now been perfected, proper traffic arrangements have been made, and it is reasonable to expect that with the renewal of the industries of the country the Company's system of roads will enjoy that measure of prosperity to which it is entitled by reason of its favorable geographical location and inherent strength.

The Agricultural Department at Washington issued on Dec. 30 its report on the yield of cotton as follows : Department of Agriculture indicates a smaller yield of cott >n than the returns of condition in Ootobsr. The October avera;?e was 74, against 6iiin 1833, H-j in the great harvest of t-iS'J, and 66 in the disastrous season of 1881. The returns of condition in October and of product in December have been unusually divergent this year. The first indicated a larger crop than last year; the latter a product slightly less, or about 98 per cent. The comparative decline is The comparison with 1 ist in thi States West of Alabirai.

This makes an aggregate of .5,.i30,000 bales. These figures are provisional and may be slightly modified by future returns It is possible that the general disappointment at tlie outcom<? of tho middle and top crop have made the December returns unusually conservative, but it is cert.ain that the rate of yield will l)e much below the average.

The demand early in the week was very active, but as prices improved there was less doing, but this was in part due to the New Year holiday. It is believed that the severe cold in the Northwest has restricted production to some extent. Rye flour and corn meal, though firmer, have not recovered the recent decline, but buckwheit flour has done rather better. The wheat market has attracted much speculative interest^ causing a sharp advance in prices. Foreign advices and Western, accounts have alike been regarded as more favorable, and the general situation, as it is in the for likely to affect the future of values, isi believed to have improved.

DoMBSTic Woolen Goods. — .Although there was a fair movement in certain makes of worsted suitings and coatings makes through the (»lso choice all-wool cassimeres and trouserings), in extcution 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. The results of the past year's business have been unsatisfactory to most manufacturers of men's wear woolens, but a few of the best appointed and most ably directed worsted mills have probably returned a fair profit on the capital invested. Jersey cloths ccntinued in 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, skirlx, etc., continued in very light demand at first hands, but fairly steady in pri('«.
