We thus see that all the commercial conditions are again
developing very favorably. There are, however, some
financial questions that are causing more or less anxiety
and preventing that return of full confidence which the
facts otherwise warrant.
Most prominent among these
is the continued coinage of the silver dollars.
The
Government ha3 issued this week the following brief but
graphic statement, showing at a glance the history of the
silver dollar in 1882.

principal features the trade return for November
appeared for nearly two years. We
referred last week to the wonderful change so quickly
brought about in the affairs of the trunk lines under the
influence of the splendid harvest of cereals raised this
season.
We may refer now to the equally swift revolu¬
tion that has taken place in the state of our foreign trade
under the same influence.
From February to September
inclusive we had a monthly merchandise balance against
us,
varying in amount from $19,171,061 in May to $593,760 in
September. In October there was a decided change and we
had a balance in our favor in the sum of $10,113,970.
Now, in November, with a free movement of only one of
our great export staples—cotton—the
excess of merchandise exports over merchandise imports rises to the
large
total of $25,819,180—a figure that has not been
equalled
since January, 1881.
To show the movement at each

active movement in plain cottons was stimulated by lower
prices. The decline was led by standard sheetings, which
were marked down £c. per yard, and other makes of cor¬
poration brown cot'oas were subsequently reduced from
5 to 7J per cent, as a result of which liberal sales were
effected by manufacturers’ agents. Fine bleached shirt¬
ings were reduced l^c. per yard, and stocks on hand were
closed out at the decline.
Colored cottons are nominally
unchanged, but prices favor the buyer in some cases.

RETROSPECT

The course

OF

1882.

It

porarily paralyzed by the appalling death of its chief
magistrate, there was a change in the spirit of advance,
and almost exaltation, which had taken possession of our
business world since 18/8. In 1880 the clearings of the
banks in 22 leading cities amounted in round millions to
$50,000,000,000; in 1881 to $04,000,000,000;.and in 1882;

$61,000,000,000/
But

careful retrospect

of 1S82 presents only the view
of a diminishing pressure in the force which had pushed
everything forward, and by no means a retrograde move¬
ment ; the gross amount of business was, in some depart,
ments at a maximum—th§ largest ever transacted in a
single year—but it was in the net proceeds, in the cash
profits realized, that the results were sometimes less satis¬
factory than in prior years.
The striking comparison between the years 1831 and
1882 in the extent of agricultural products stands out in
bold relief. It is estimated that the country produced
440,000,000 bushels more of corn, 130,000,000 bushels
more of wheat and
possibly 1,560,000 'bales more of
cotton in 1882 than in 1881.
The agricultural interests
of the United States are not only in themselves far
superior in importance to any others, but their supremacy
is thrown into prominence by the fact that they furnish a
great part of the exports of the country, and thus control
the statistics of foreign trade.
The products of - our
mills, factories and mines are mostly consumed at
home, and manufactured articles make a relatively small
proportion of the total value of the country’s exports.
For example, in the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1882,
the total value of exports of domestic merchandise
amounted to $733,000,000, of which $490,000,000 was
made up by cotton, breadstuffs and
provisions alone ; in
1880-81 the total value of domestic
exports was $384,.
000,000, of which $659,000,000 was made up by the
items mentioned.

In every

business office of the land, first the crop pros¬
pects, then the progress of the harvests, and finally the prob¬
able
out-tujn, are the subjects of constant discussion from
March till November. The widespread failure of
crops
from the drought of 1881 became
notorious, and on the
first of January, 1882, the fact was
apparent that the
country was entering upon a half year of small grain and
cotton tonnage,
small exports of produce, and consequently
smaller balances to fall due from
foreign consumers. The
expectations were not disappointed, and in the first ha’f
of 1882 the
exports of corn, wheat and cotton alone
amounted to $65,000,000 less than in the same
period of
1881. The comparison of these
exports Stood as .follows*.

corollary of these figures that in the first
$22,810,634 of gold and silver came into the
United States in excess of the exports of those
metals, and
in the first half o: 1832
$33,456,980 of gold ini silver
went out of the country in excess of the amounts
imported.
The foregoing statements present with sufficient clear¬
ness the
great difference between years of good and bad
crops, but as the export trade movement of the six months
ending with June 30 reflects most conspicuously the result
of the previous year’s crops, the full benefit of the
great
yield of 1882 had not been shown up to the close of that
year, and it remains for the first six months of 1883 to
exhibit a strong contrast with the
corresponding period of
IS82, in a very heavy export of domestic merchandise.

In

department of business enterprise was there such
astonishing activity developed as in the building of new

railroads.

In

new

as

early

as

August,

railroads projected, with

their construction

already undertaken by responsible parties,
large that the mileage to be finished (luring the next
eighteen morrhs would assuredly be very heavy. In the
Investors’ Supplements of August and
October, 1881,
elaborate articles ware published,
giving with much detail
an
account of the
railroads in progress and pro¬
jected, together with' the amount of bonds and stock
of
old
new
and
corporations definitely subscribed
for.
The totals
were
so
large that the public
was
somewhat surprised; and the figures were even
commented upon with severity and undue
feeling by
parties who thought that their interests might be preju¬
diced by this exhibit of the real facts of the situation.
But the result fully proved the general
correctness of those
statistics, and at the close of the year 1S82 it is found
that there has been constructed in that
year about 11,000
miles of new railroad, against 9,400 in
1881, and 7,379
miles in%>1871, which, prior to 1881, was the heaviest
year
on record.
On the common basis of $25,000
per mile in
bonds and $25,000 in stock, which is
by no means
an
exaggerated estimate of the average capital ac¬
count
on
new railroads,
including both road and
equipment, this mileage would furnish the basis for
$550,000,000 in new stocks and bonds at their par value.
Of this amount about one half, or $275,000,000, would
represent the amount actually expended on the prop¬
erties, and the balance would represent the bonus
distributed to the construction
companies or the projectors
and promoters of the several
enterprises. In reference to
this enormous activity in railroad
building the Chronicle
has remarked that it is highly probable the
year 1882 will
remain forever as the maximum
year in railroad building
in the United States, for, although there will be much
done hereafter in piecing out various systems by the con

or

progress, and when
of 1873 is compared

the period which preceded the crisis

r

with the present time, it is easily seen
that there is no close analogy between them.
The great
difference is noticed mainly in two important particulars—
first, that the roads now constructed have been built at a
much smaller interest charge, being usually bonded at a
•smaller amount per mile and with bonds carrying a rate
of interest 1-J- to 2 per cent less per annum than the bonds
of 1870-1873; secondly, that a very large part of the new
mileage constructed has been for the account of old and
strong corporations which have earned for years a large
annual surplus above interest and dividend charges.
These old companies may lose something of their profits
for a few years in operating the new lines of road, and
might in some cases be obliged to suspend dividends on
their stocks for a while, but defaults on their bonds are
without the limit of reasonable probabilities.
For-the purpose of showing at a glance the industrial
and financial statistics,, which present a sharp comparison
of the two years 1881 and 1882, the following table has
been compiled.

The depression, however, which really

iron and steel.

falling off in the construction of new railroads, and the
orders for future delivery *on Jan. 1, 1883, were very
much below the amount of similar contracts outstanding
at the beginning of 1883.
In speculative operations, not only at the Stock Ex¬
change, but also in breadstuffs, provisions, cotton,
the

petroleum, and other articles of merchandise, there was a
very widely extended interest on the part of the public at
large. Many of the failures in business could be traced
to outside speculative operations, and it could not be
regarded as a favorable circumstance that so many parties
in various kinds of business, and even professional men,
were engaged in carrying stocks, produce, cotton, petro¬
leum, &c., on margins.
Our usual interesting comparison is obtained by bring¬
ing forward the figures indicating the general financial
situation in New York at the opening of the present year

the bank returns in New York City during the
year were not particularly striking, and much less interesting
than the variations in the preceding year ^specially the rise in
deposits to $346,000,000 and loans and discounts to $350,000,000
in July, 1881. The circulation ran down about $2,500,000,
partly through the change of a few banks from the National to
the State system. The specie held was nearly the same at the
end as at the beginning of the year, and the legal tenders
increased nearly $3,000,000. The loans an d discounts aid the
deposits showed but very moderate fluctuations.

THE MONEY MARKET.

fairly easy money market soon after the
supply of funds became sufficient, with
call loans at 4@8 per cent. In the latter part of February and ■
early in March there was some stringency in the rates for money
on call, and borrowers on stock collaterals paid as high as 1-32
to % per day commission in addition to 6 per cent per annum.
It will be observed that there is often a wide range in the quo¬
tations of call loans, and the minimum prices of 3 or 4 per cent
are quoted even during the same weeks when stock brokers
were paying the high rates just mentioned.
This is accounted
for by the fact that bond dealers were offered money at low rates
on government bonds exclusively as collateral, by parties having
trust or other funds in hand, which they would lend on no other
security than government bonds, and with comparatively small
regard to the rate of interest received. These low rates, there¬
fore, famish no criterion of the current prices for loans on
ordinary stock collaterals.
.
One of the principal features of the year was the change in
the usury law of New York State so as to permit the rinding
of money on collateral securities in sums of $5,000 akd up¬
wards at any rate of interest agreed upon by the parties,
thus practically abolishing the restriction as to rates o

that the banks loaned their funds so extensively on stock col¬
laterals that they would not discount commercial paper, and
that accommodation, even on first-class notes, was difficult to
obtain. In October and November there was a period of strin.
gencv’ in the money market, partly attributed to manipulation
by the bears in stocks, but this was soon relieved by the heavy
disbursements of the Treasury on account of called bonds. In
December the money market was unusually easy.

ing gloominess, and

a large amount of stocks was thrown
overboard. On the latter day Mr. Gould made his famous
exhibit at his office, to a few of his influential
friends, of a

large amount of his stocks and bonds, to prove that he was in
no straits for
money, as some of the bear rumors had reported.
According to the accounts Mr. Gould produced a strong box

from which he took

large number of stock certificates, includ¬
ing $23,000,000 of Western Union, $12,000,000 of Missouri
Pacific, $6,000,000 of Manhattan Elevated, $2,000,000 of Wabash
common, and $10,000,000 of bonds of the New York and Metro¬
politan railways and Wabash preferred stock. The stock cer¬

He also offered to show some
$30,000,000 of railroad bonds, but
the gentlemen were satisfied.
This performance was backed
up by some very decided
expressions made by Mr. Vandetbilt to the newspaper
report¬
ers, on the side of higher prices, and the
railroad war was
announced to have been
positively settled. All these circum¬
stances drew in purchasers of stocks,
and for some time there
an active and
buoyant market, and much pressure was
exerted to push up prices
by all the customary rumors and
other means used on such occasions. But
early in April the
whole scene changed ; there was a
was

pretty strong tone on Satur¬
day, April 1, but on Monday morning some of the stocks that had
been steadily supported before, declined so
rapidly as to ca rry the
whole market with them. For

some

time the bears had referred

to the fact that certain

prominent stocks had been kept up to a>
specified price, as if a peg was driven in there, and that the
pegs were moved from one point to another at the will of the
manipulators, and now the pegs were withdrawn, particularly
in Lake Shore,' which sold
right down about 8 points. Under

exchanges during the year is
tolerably well indicated by the remarks above concerning the
foreign trade movement.

Boston Hoosac Tunnel & Western.—At Boston, Jan. 4, it
voted by the directors of this railway that all work west of

line, at a point about five miles west of Schenectady, should be
stopped, and that all ef their road’s interests west of that point
to Syracuse should be sold to the West Shore

efforts to developing and improving its present road from the

and the New York Central & West Shore roads a few miles

The average charge to locomotive repairs during the three
previous years (in the corresponding six months) has been
about $30,000; this year it has been $65,000, of which sum

was for rebuilding five engines, in addition to the usual
ordinary repairs. The increased operating expenses occasioned
by this extraordinary work on roadbed ana bridges, as shown by '
the books, amount to over $125,000. Deducting these extra¬
ordinary expenses from the operating account, the net earn¬
ings'would show over five per cent on the capital stock for the
six months, over and above the fixed charges.

crop and the declining foreign markets.
As a result there
was a
decline in futures to the extent of 13@15 points.
•Wednesday opened at a further decline, January dropping

was nominally unchanged, but weak, at 10*^c. for middling

India Cotton Movement from all Ports.—We have during

so as to make our
reports more detailed and at the same time
more accurate.
Hitherto we have found it impossible to keep
out of our figures,^ as cabled to us for the ports other than
Bombay, cargoes which proved only to be shipments from one
India port to another. The plan we have, now adopted, as we
have reason to believe, will relieve us from the danger of this

inaccuracy and keep the totals correct. We first give the
Bombay statement for the wreek and year, bringing the figures
down to January 4.

Market,

Prices have been weak, but

cially for the higher grades, and the supply of all kinds has
been liberal. JTo-day the market was quiet and steady.
Wheat has advanced 2c., owiDg to higher markets in Europe,
floods in Germany, fears of a drought in California, small re¬

activity until Thursday, when a large busi¬
place. To-day the market was very firm for cash,
but options, after an advance of
weakened somewhat;
No. 2 red sold at $1
11M„ for January, $1 13@$113^
for Februarjr, $1 15@$1 15)4 for March, §1
17/2 for April
and $1 17@|l 17% for May.
Indian corn has .been in better demand for export, owing
mainly to the fact that there has latterly been a paying mar¬
gin on the Liverpool market, and prices have advanced here
1c. to 2%c.
The floods in Germany have also contributed to
the advance.
The receipts at the West have been large at
times, but the inspection lias proved irregular and latterly un¬
favorable. The lower grades have been in good demand of late
for mixing with other grades. Options, within a day or two, have
sold quite freely under the stimulus of the European advices,
and have recovered an early decline. To-day the market was
%@/4c. higher, but options towards the close became weaker;
No. 2 mixed sold at 67c. for January, 65%c. for February, 65/2C.
for April and 643. for May.
ltye has been quiet and without marked change. Barley has
been moderately active and about steady.
Oats have been in
better demand at some advance; there is a large stook here,
but it is mostly held by two houses, and the receipts at the
West have latterly shown a marked decrease. To-day the
market was firm on the spot, but slightly lower for futures; No.
2 mixed sold at 45%-@.15%c. for January, 45/4@1654c.^ for Feb¬
ruary, 46/2@46%c. for March.
