* Our cable, as it reaches us, states that the takings in Great Britain
for the three inontliu of this season arc 1,070,000 bales of ordinary
weights, and the consumption 936,0fi0 biilos of 400 lbs. each. This
lust is, we presume, a luis-tako of 50,000 bales, since the total for the
thirteen weeks at 72.000 bales per week is Oae.OiO bales. Heuco we
have taken this latter Uguro and reduced the takings to conform to it.
Mr. Ellison has revised his estimate of consumption on
the Continent during October and November in both years,
400 lbs. each per weekshows that the weekly consumption in

Notwithstanding the above, the complaints among farmers
are certainly very serious, and to an extent are reasonable.
There is only one remedy apparent; wheat cannot bo raised in
England, except on the best lands, so as to compete with
foreign producers, and probable prices furnish little encouragement for its production even there; moreover, co-npetition in

Hence
farmers are beginning to look to their landlords as ths only
possible source of relief, and the demand for lower rents is
becoming universal and very peremptory. The change made
in Ireland, and now in progress in the highlands of Scotland,
encourages a movement in the same direction elsewhere.
Should the times improve speedily the agitation would very

therefore, for the coming year is far from bright. Until the
activities of the world recover from the repression which is
now universal, there can be no demand for more tonnage.
Of course vessels are all the time being lost, and there are
deductions from the aggregate on that account; but the additions, of steam vessels (and one steam ton is estimated at three

the outlook for the coming year is, we regret to say, also

go far towards producing that result, for woDd has practically gone out of existence as a ship-building material, iron
and steel having taken its place. For instance, in the additions to the register of Great Britain in 1883 there were 769
iron vessels, representing a tonnage of 1,033,373, while of
wood there were only 383 in number with a tonnage of 28,280
tons. But aside from that our exports of all kinds of iron
have been small and decreasing. Almost every country
except Russia has lessened its requiremsnts, and the United
States, which last year reduced its takings nearly one half, has
in 1884 decreased them very considerably again. The total

With regard to the stock market little need be said. It has
been as in 1883, only worse.
An unfavorable and irregular money market discourages
activity in stocks. It is no surprise, therefore, in view of the
arbitrary changes in the Bank minimum during the last two
years in obedience to gold and not trade requirements, that
Stock Exchange business should be exceedingly disappointing.
Of course this has been aggravated by the long continuance of
heavy losses the general public have
by the decreased capacity of the investing classes for
making investments, and by the difficulty in procuring from
the banks the " sinews " for operating. This latter ii included
in the abnormal condition of the money market, for the first
effect of such an uncertain, spasmodic condition of the interest
rate is to discourage speculation of all kinds, and make the
banks more cautious.
And the banks have protected themselves in most cases very
carefully and successfully, being watchful and guarded; probthese conditions, by the
suffered,
amount of worthless paper in existence is much less
than for some time. Yet it is true, with all their care and
facilities for obtaining information and for forming a sound
judgment, they have not in all instances been prepared for the
heavy fall which has taken place. This is notably the case in
many descriptions of produce in which the "cover " made on
advances has proved quite inadequate, resulting in considerable loss. This has led to increased distrust but perhaps
as prices have now fallen to a point so low that they seem
scarcely to admit of further reduction, the banking community will show greater confidence. Besides there has been a
ably the
;
general weeding out of reckless operators and also of mercantile firms that were dangerously expanded, so that in more
ways than one the financial condition tends to encourage
greater latitude in making advances. Still caution will undoubtedly continue to prevail, and it should prevail until there

fact is, the present is a very trying time. There certainly is

Anthracite Coal
Combination.
—The
representatives of
the anthracite coal companies met at
the office of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company to consider the polthe
of
icy to he pursued in view of
the report
special committee, that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
had declined to join the combination. The I'ailroad company
was not represented at the meeting, but sent in a communication expressive of its desire to work In harmony with the
other interests, but not binding itself in any way. After a
discussion extending over an hour the following was passed
:
Resolted, That, exchicliuK tlie.iuterests of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, we will carry oat tlie plan oii'-'iaally ncliipted for the arrangement of the trade, anil tliat witli the view of recovering the market for
steam and luanufaclunni: purposes from bituminous coal by the sale, at
piic( 8 ot a sufflclect quantity of anthracite coal, t. '00,000
tons are to be added to the assumfd total output for the year 1885 provided, however, that none of the said 1,000,000 tons ho added to the
quotas tor February, March, April or May.
reduced
The companies will act as a combination, and the extra
million tons will be sold at a reduced price to large consumers
now using bituminous coal, the consumption of which has
largely increased, seriously cutting into tlie anthracite trade.
No change in percentages will be made, as it is assumed by the
companies that the production of the Pennsylvania will be 8
per cent of the 30,000,000 originally fixed as the total output,
the percentage intended to be allotted to it in case it entered
the combination. '1 his interest, however, received last year
10'4 per cent of the total output, and has announced its readiness to bring up its production this year to 13 per cent.
Pacific Kailroads.^The Senate Judiciary Committee has
the CO-year funding bill, but it seems rather
improbable that the bill will pass both Houses and become a
law at this session of Congress. No estimate has been issued
of the amount of money which would be calletl for yearly
from the two great companies vinder the provisions of this law.
The essential features of the bill are as follows: The subsidy
debt of the Pacific roads, including principal and interest
accrued and to accrue, the latter to be figured at 3 per cent, is
to be determined as of April 1, 1885. This gross sum is to be
divided into 120 equal parts, one part to be paid with interest
from April 1, 1885, at 3 jjer cent per annum, on the first day
of April and Octoter respectively in each year, the first payment to be made on Octob-r 1 next, until the entire debt lias
been paid. It is provided that no money shall be paid by tlie
Government to the companies for services until the bond next
maturing has been provided for. The statutory lien created
under previous act shall remain a« security for the payment of
these bonds. The companies may anticipate their payment ami
issue other bonds for the purpose. The companies must not dispose of assets other than in the ordinary course of business
without the consent of the President of the United States, and
must not pay dividends unless earned, and unless maturing
indebtedness to the Government has been provided for. The
bonds may be declared due in case of s x months default on
any redumption bond. The companies have three months in
which to accept the act. If ihey fail to accept it, the amount
to be collected under tlie Tliurman act is to bs increased from
25 to 35 per cent of annual gross earnings. In ca-e the companies do not accept ths aot, the Tliurunn act is to be amended
to allow the investment of the Government sinking fund in
first mortgitge bonds of the companies or in securities of the
United State-, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States.
recommended
Fliiladclphia & Reading.— The board of managers liave
approved their report of the finance committee which was
appointed to consider the report of the committee on reorganization, which was submitted to the stockholders at the annual
meeting held Jan. 13, 1885. The committee's repoit is
too long to quote entire, but the following extracts contain
salient points. The committee say:
agree with the three
principles laid down at the beginning of that report, to wit
1. Tliat the fixed charges must be brought within the limit of
net earnings, and that no higher estimate of those earnings
should be made than the earnings of last year.
2. That the existing order of priorities must be maintained.
3. That the floating debt must be funded, and that meantime it must be dealt with in detail at the best discretion of
the receivers.
Proceedins: to details, we agree to the full payment of all
those obligations which the committee's plan proposes to pay
in full. Concerning the divisional coal land mortgages, we
agree with the committee's report. * * *
The same acquiescence applies generally to the rentals and
guarantees specifically named in the report, and we agree to
all its suggestions in respect to leases and guarantees.
We
At this point we encounter a question deserving separate
consideration, to wit, the lease of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, as to which we are led to believe that even though no
fixed obligations should rest upon our company beyond the fixe J
charges and the net earnings of the Central up to six per cent
per annum upon its stock, those net earnings will within a
short time, if the union of the two systems continues, amount
to such bix per cent.
consider it, however, indispensable
that the lease be so modified as to make the rental beyond
fixed charges equal to the net earnings of the Central up to a
maximum of six per cent per annum for a period not exceed-
We
ing five
yeai-s.
General Mortgaqe.—-We are fully aware of the policy, as
well as the obi igation, of meetmg the general mortgage coupons
in full as they mature, and in a normal condition of the coal
trade we should recommend that this be done. At present
we recommend that the general mortgage coupon due Jan. 1,
[Vol. XL.
be paid in cash, even at the cost of an unusual effort, and that
thereafter the January coupon be paid in full, while for the
July coupon for three years there be given scrip secured by
the coupon, one series of scrip for each year, redeemable with
interest at six per cent from maturity of coupon until payment, out of the first surplus earnings, before any subsequent
interest not embraced in the proposed fixed charges be paid;
the surplus earnings of any one year to be applied in all cases
to the series of a past year if any is left unpaid.
Under this
plan, if sufficient earnings are made, the scrip given for the
July coupons will be paid at the date of the maturity of the
coupon. Provided, however, ihaX &\\ conditions of the gener.)l mortgage which establish or call for a sinking fund to
extinguish the bonds issued under it shall be suspended until
the company shall give due notice of its readiness to resume
the sinking fund stipulations. '* *
We recommend further that, if it shall Jje found practicable and expedient, $1,000,000 of the future collateral trust
loan shall be set apart as a specific pledge for the redemption
of all unpaid general mortgage coupons.
Income Mortgage Bond.s.-t- * * * It will be understood that the new income mortgage bonds will hold the same
independent security upon property not covered by the general
mortgaae as do the existing income mortgage bonds.
The Floating Debt.—This we agree should be treated substantially as proposed in the report, yet though no definite
arrangement for funding that debt can be made while the
question of foreclosure remains as a present menace, we recommend that in view of the hope that foreclosure may be
prevented by amicable arrangement, detailed plans for such
funding should be studied and prepared for putting into operation as soon as practicable.
The volume of securities, other than its own obligations,
which are owned by the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad
Company is so large, and their independent earning power so
great, as probably to justify a sound collateral trust loan of
amount approximating that of the floating debt. We do not,
however, feel called upon at the present time to append a
statement or valuation of those securities, or to indicate, even
in general terms, a plan for making them available.
The committee's report is obviously right in pointing out
that the duty of providing the funds for retiring the floating
debt and other liabilities, including several millions of receivers' obligations and overdue coupons, must largely devolve
upon the junior security holders, the floating debt holders,
the stockholders, and the deferred income bondholders, all of
whose interests are necessarily in jeopardy so long as the floating dfbt remains unpaid.
In order to provide for the contingency that so many junior
security holders may refuse or neglect to accept within the
stipulated time the modifications proposed for their several
classes as to defeat the carrying out ot an amicable arrangement, thus rendering foreclosure inevitable, we recommend a
prompt and careful study of the best method of reorganization
under foreclosure, with due j fotection of the interests of those
junior creditors who shall wiihin that lime have assented to
the terms proposed.
We recommend that the written assent of all parties interestel be asked, upon the condition that the assent so given
shall become binding only when, in the judgment of the
Board of Managers, a suflScient proportion shall have given
such assent.
We recommend that the time for giving assent to the settlement proposed be fixed to end on March 31st, 1885.
The thirty-fifth annual report of the Manhattan Life
Insurance Co., wluch appears in another column of this paper,
illustrates the steady growth in times of depression of the
sound, well-managed institutions in which the public have
confidence; also the dispoeitian to abandon speculative and
doubtful enterprises in favor of the conservative and prudent
investment in insurance for the benefit of families and friends.
Despite the universal dulness of business, the new insurance
of tne Manhattan during the past year has been large, and a
great part of the increase has come from persons of moderate
means, who make insurance a permanent investment. The
company invites the attention of business men to its annual
statement.

The Mutual Life Ins. Company of New York publishes its
annual statement for the year 1884, and shows assets now of
$103,876,178, and a surplus on the Massachusetts basis of
$1,743,771, or on the New York basis of 4)^ per cent interest,
a surplus of over $12,000,000. The progress of the Mutual
under the strong and conservative management of Mr. F. S.
Winston, its President, has been of the most substantial
character.

fore its cffe.-^t, if passed at all, will probably be good.
The
Pacific railroads bill, if it becomes a law, will settle the whole
status of affairs b(^twccn the Government and the companies,
and will do good in thus defining the position of the companies, and rendering their obligation certain.
No estimate has
yet been given out as to what tho annual cash requirements from
the respective compaiues would be under this law.
At the Stock EJxchange the prices of several stocks have
been strongly sustained or pushed upward, indicating a good
deal of vitality among the bulls in those stock.s, and there is
little doubt that the whole market would greatly improve if
the railroad wars were settled.
The business of the country
ha.s not gone.
There is enough tonnage, and likely to be
enough, between East and West, to pay the railroads a fair
profit ; and tho tonnage being there and certain, it only remains
for the railroads to make fair rates and maintain them, to reap
the benefit of their operations. If stockholders sec and appreciate these points fully, it may lead to an earlier settlement of
the difficulties.
Rates for call loans during tho week on stock and bond colterals have ranged at |@l^per cent and to-day at J@l per
cent.
Prime commercial paper is quoted at 4@.5 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
again in specie of $630,000, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 45 J, against 43J last week
the discount rate
was reduced from 5 to 4 per cent. The Bank of France gained
1,613,000 francs in gold and 1,697,000 francs in silver.
The New York Clearing House banks, in their statement of
Jan. 34, showed an increase in surplus reserve of $964,230,
the total suqilas being $53,113,035, against $51,148,775 the
previous week.

week and a comparison with tho two preceding years in the

—There has been less demand for sterling exchange
the past week, and on Monday po.sted rates were reduced 1

incrciiscd demand, however, caused tho restoration of former
ratos, but on tho announcement of the reduction in tho Bank of

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks. The stock market
has been dull the past week, the sjieculation being confined to
a few leading shares.
Lackawanna was the mo.st active, and
generally led the fluctuations of the market.
The course of
prices has been somewhat irregulai', the early dealings being
marked by weakness, but latterly more strength has been maniaccompanied by a little more activity.
of weakness in the early part of the week was the
reduction of West-bound freight rates, but this was followed
later by an advance in East-bound rates to schedule prices
fested,
One cause
owing
to the inability of the roads to carry all the freight
offered on account of snow blocka es ; this had a good effect
on the trunk-line stocks and grangers. St. Paul, however, has
been weaker than other grangfir stocks, which
may be accounted
of hostilities between that road and its new
competitor, Wisconsin Central.
The agreement of the coal companies independent of the
Pennsylvania K. R. (notwithstanding that it is construed as
necessitating lower prices for coal) had a good effect on the coal
stocks, and they have been stronger than the general market,
for
by the
fear
Lackawanna having advanced .sharply on Thursday, although
this was due in large part to manipulation against the shorts.
Much weakness has been developed in Central Pacific, the
Oregons, and Northern Pacifies, and various rumors have been
afloat in regard to these properties.
Free selling was reported
from Boston of Oregon Navigation, prompted by the heavy loss
in earningson account of snow blockades on the company's lines.
To-day, Friday, the market started off well, with Lackawanna
rising to 90i, Northwest to 90i^, and other stocks following in
strength but in the afternoon prices weakened, and there was
a decline of more or less importance throughout the list.
The
withdrawal of Grand Trunk of Canada from the trunk lino
pool, ruoiors of Mr. Gould's illness, and selling by the Lackawanna pool, were the principal causes assigned for the weakness.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
Louis Yandalia & Terre Hante Railroad.
(For the year ending October 31, 1884.)
The annual report just issued shows that the rental received
St.
in the last fiscal year was $447,092, and the total charges
$862,083, leaving a surplus for the year of |'^5,009. To the
lessee the loss on operating the road was $71,549, against
$115,399 in 1883. The report says that the decrease in the
freight business is accounted for in the facts that a smaller
amount of freight was carried, and at a less rate than that
received during the previous year. This state of things was
occasioned by the short grain crop along the line, and further
by the general business depression prevaiUng during the
CTeater portion of the year 1884, during wliioh the St. Louis Iron
Steel Company's works and other iron furnaces and mills at
St. Louis were closed.
Another element in the case was the
effect produced by the operations of the coke pool at Pittsburg, under which tlie coke, heretofore carried over the Vandalia road, was diverted and reached St. Louis by other lines,
resulting in reducing the quantitv of coke hauled during tlie
year from 92,181 tons in 1883 to 41,598 tons in 1884, or 50,583
tons. The above reasons will also account for the falling off
in tonnage of miscellaneous articles of manufacture, from
198,912 tons in 1883 to 164,901 tons in 1884, a decreaseof 34,011
&
tons.
While tlie coal tonnage increased from 378,118 tons in 1883
to 409,678 tons in 1884, or 81,560 tons, the revenue from that
class of business decreased from $186,159 in 1883 to $133,931 in
1884, or $52,227.
This large reduction in the coal earnings is
explained by the disruption of the pool in bituminous coal
mined on roads terminating in East St. Louis and hauled to
that point, through wliicli pool the rates obtained were two
and one half cents per bushel.
The following are statistics of traffic and earnings for four
years past, prepared for the Chronicle

Central & South American Telegraph Co.
{For the year ending Oat. 31, 18S4.)
The report of Mr. Jas. A. Scrymser. President of this company, is dated Jan. 14, 1885, and contains the following "The
last published report was issued Jan. 12, 1884.
It exhibited
the net earnings of the company, ascertained and estimated,
to Dec. 31, 1883,1175,643. The Treasurer's report, annexed,
shows additional net receipts to Jan. i3, 1885, $195,318, making
the total net earnings of the company to this date $370,963.
This realizes, substantially, our anticipations at the date of
the last r^-port. It has suflfiaed to pay the d-^bt of the company, and leaves an nnexi)ended surplus of net earnings
amounting to about $30,000. There also lemains in the treasury, unimpaired, 9,934 shares of its capital stock, representing a par value of $993,400.
"It will be observed that the net profits since December 31,
1883, exceed those of a corresponding period embraced in the
last report by $19,674: notwithstanding the fact that the
unusual receipts of October, November and December, 1883,
exceeded the average monthly receipts by some $50,000—
owing to a prolonged interruption of the cable between Europe
and Brazil; the extraordinary receipts in 1883 being considerably surpassed by a steady growlli in the ordinary earnings of
the last year. A comparison of the gross receipts of 1884 with
those of 1883, after allowing for extraordinary receipts in
both years, shows a normal growth in traffic of over 33 per
cent.
This was mainly due to the improved commercial condition of the countries reached by tlie lines of your company,
notwithstanding the general dulness of trade, and although
both the through and local tariffs have been reduced from 15
to 50 per cent.
It is evident, therefore, that with a continued
improvement in commercial intercourse, there is every reason
to expect that your company will soon be firmly established as
*
*
*
a dividend-paying concern.
" The company's cables are in excellent condition, and have
not occasioned the outlay of a dollar for the past nineteen
months. Nor have the cables of the Mexican Telegraph Company in four years "

GENERAL INVESTMENT NEWS.
Bnffalo New York & Philadelphia.— A report in the
Boston Advertiser January 24 said " The funding scheme of
the Buffalo New York & Philadelphia recjuired the consent of
three-quarters of the stock to make it binding, otherwise the
money subscribed was to be returned. So far, about half of
the foreign stock lias assented. Co,sh has been received from
holders representing about 100,000 shares and promises from
as many more. Out of $16,500,000 of bonds affected by the
funding scheme, the holders of $13,500,000 have agreed, so
that has gone through. It is believed by the officers of the
companj^ that the stockholders will yet come forward in
numbers sufficient to take care of tlie floating debt. The
earnings for the first quarter of the fiscal year show a handsome increase over the business for the same period of last
year, and the increase for January was greater than was
expected. The company is getting a great deal of through
business from its new connection with the Baltimore & Ohio
and the West Shore. Now that the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore & Ohio have come together on the question of
bituminous tonnage, and the price is fixed at $3 25 at tidewater, it is thought that r,ites can he held up so as to afford a
fair profit for all the companies.
The joint committees of the
Erie, Rochester & Pittsburg and the Buffalo New York &
Philadelphia have referred the matter of the distribution to
the individual operators, and hope they will agree, so that rates
may be advanced on competitive coal going into Buffalo.
—It is reported from Philadelphia that the final details of
the bituminous coal pool of the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Pennsylvania Railroad companies were arr.-mged on Thursday
The Pennsylvania is allotted
at a meeting held in that city.
55 per cent of the total output and the Baltimore & Ohio 45

Burlington Cedar Rapids & Northern.— This company
has applied to the Stock Exchange to have $1,649,000 additional
per cent consolidated first mortgage and collateral trust
5
bonds issued on 110 miles of new road.
Canadian Pacific- Contrary to the reports which had been
current in the stock market, the Canadian Pacific directors
declared a dividend of 1 j)er cent payable February 1. Thia is
in addition to the guaranteed semi-annual dividend of 1% per
cent, and makes the total dividend at the rate of 5 per cent
per annum.

in Boston, has forwarded his report for tho year 1834, from
which tho following items are condensed. The mileage was

ro:vd and wholly dependent upon local traffto. The main items
of traffic are coal and passengers, and in the latter department
the miinagement has opened a suburban business between
Cleveland and Bedford and intermediate points, whicli is
becoming gnulually of mutual benefit to the public and the
railway. The road has been flnanoially embarrassed since its
completion and on January 20, 1881, passed into the hands of
a Receiver, under whose management it has since been operated. Tho line has suffered a diminution in its earnings the
past year by reason of a protracted strike among the coal
miners in the Carroll County district, which decreased the tonnage of coal from one mine in that locality 100,000 tons, besiiies
materially affecting the other revenues of the line during the
period of the strike, which continued six months, February to
July inclusive.
The eoal tonnage was 193,400, a loss of 63,400 tons. The tonnage of general freight was 41,t>6S, a gain of 13,518. The passengers carried were 456,627, a gain of 132,547.

A resolution was adopted appointing A. Foster Higgins,
William Laimbeer, C. I. Hudson, James Middledith, Cyrus J.
Lawrence, Albert Kelly and John 8. Barnes a committee to
represent the first mortgage bondholders and to take such
action as they might deem proper to protect their rights and
advance their interests. In case of continued default in the
interest beyond the stipulated 60 days the committee was
authorized to institute such measures, legal and otherwise, as
they might think necessary.
The meeting unanimously resolved that the committee
should request the resignations of the trustees of the first mortgages, and should seek to have other responsible trustees
appointed.
The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the committee.In reply to inquiries by the oommittf e, Mr. C. P. Huntington
had sent to the chairman the following letter:

also that the roiul has not earned the intorojit on itJ bondf* for
five years, although in that time $.1,200,(X)() wa« expended on
betterments and renewals. Tlio committee reported that by
the terms of tho first mortgages the Iwndholders are entitled
to have conveyed to the trustees for their Iwneflt 6,4(X) iicrcs of
land per mile of completed road, which on the main and divisional lines amount to 8,282,730 at^res. If this land should be
sold lit an average of only $1 50 an acre, an amount would be
realized equal to about one half of tho whole first mortgage
debt, and would leave only one half to be provided for by tho
sale or reorganization of the r.ailroad.
The chairman of the committee, acting upon legal advice,
addressed formal demands to the trustees of the different mortgages, Messrs. Easton and Rintoul, and the Farmers' Loan
Trust Company, calling their attention to the language of tho
mortgages, which requires the railroad company to pay to the
trustees on or before Dec. 15, 1873, and each succeeding year
thereafter, a sum equal to 3 per cent of the amount of such
bonils as shall then be outstanding and unpaid. The language
of the mortgages is so strong on this point that it amounts, in
the judgment of the committee, to a covenant to pay this sinking fund requirement out of the gross earnings, and the breach
of this covenant and continued default in interest makes the
conveyance absolute of all the property described in the various deeds of trust, the effect of which would be to constitute
the bondholders owners of all the property and franchises
enumerated in the dee's. The triustees were requested by the
committee to demand from the company tho annual pay

finances will be a settlement with the floating debt holders
and the release of the company from the receivership."
& Western.— In
a preliminary statement issued by
the company showing the business of the year 1884, the following comments are made: "It will be seen that in 1884 the
through passenger and freight business of the Norfolk & Westem Railroad suffered, as was generally the case throughout
the country. There was, however, a heavy increase of local
business; so -that in the aggregate the number of passengers
and of tons of freight carried was largely in excess of tliat
in 1883. The average rates received were less in 1884 than in
1883, owing to the fact that the increase of business was in
the lower classes carried in large volume, and at low rates.
The decrease in gross earnings occurred in the six months
from June to November inclusive; in each of the remaining
Bix months the gross earnings were about equal to or in excess
of those of the previous year.
December, 1884, shows a considerable increase of earnings over December, 1883, and indications are that the earnings of January, 1885, will similarly
exceed those of January, 1834.
The statement of earnings and expenses for December and
the year 1884 were as follows.
Norfolk
Treasurer of the Oregon & California Railroad Company, was
presented by counsel for the company. The affidavit stated
that bonds "to the amount of $10,000 for each mile of road
constructed or to be constructed are authorized, that
451 miles have been constructed, and that the trust
company was therefore asked to issue a proportionate
amount of bonds. Mr. Spofford denies that there was any
default on the coupons last April, and says that under a construction contract and lease the Oregon & Trans-Continental
Company was obliged to pay the coupons or furnish the money
to pay them. This contract was canceled in August last.
Mr. Peckham argued that unless there was something in the
trust deed which would bs violated by issuing more bonds, the

of the Supreme Court a bill in
equity on behalf of John E. Robertson, and other stockholders, against the Northern Railroad, praying for a division
among all stockholders of the surplus property of the corporation, which, it is alleged, amounts to nearly $1,500,000.

irregular advance, but with less activity in the dealings. Today there was some depression, under freer receipts at the
ports and the belief that, with the return of better weather and
improved roads, a more favorable comparison with last year
may be anticipated. The close, as compared with last Friday,
is slightly irregular, without important variation, except a
decline in the distant months. Cotton on the spot has continued very dull. There was a nominal decline of l-16c. on Tuesday, which wa.s recovered on Wednesday. To-day quotations
were reduced l-16c., middling uplands closing at li 3-16c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 589,500
bales.
For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
983 bales, including 55 for export, 937 for consumption,

than another at the expenae of the interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement

or Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the outports.

of business has not materially increased.
Overcoatings have
met with more attention, and some inquiry was made for allwool and cotton- warp beavers, but actual transactions in these
goods were neither frequent nor important in the aggregate,
partly because opening prices have not yet been determined
upon by agents. Cassimeres were in light and irregular demand,
but some fair sales of both light and heavy weights were
by means of low prices. Worsted coatings and suitings
move steadily on account of back orders, but new
busines was confined within narrow limits. In Kentucky jeans
and satinets there was no movement of importance, and selections of flannels and blankets were almost wholly of a hand-tomouth character. Wool suitings, sackings and tricots (for
ladies' wear) have shown more animation in first hands, and
a fairly good business was done in worsted dress goods, though
selections were made with more than ordinary caution.
Carpets were in irregular demand, and purchases of wool
hosiery and knit underwear were comparatively small.
Foreign Dry Goods were more sought after by out-oftown jobbers who have nearly completed their first purchases of
domestics, and are about returning home, and a moderately
increased business was therefore done in certain lines by imBritish and Continental dress goods were a little
