The total gross earnings
amounted in 1880 to 121 millions, and in 1881, despite all
the adverse influences at work, the total was raised to
about 126£ millions.
Net earnings were over 50£ mil¬
lions in 1880, and 2J millions less in 1881, or about
48^ millions. The earnings of all railroads in the United
States were last year $615,401,931 gross and $255,193^436 net, so that, making allowance for the Grand Trunk,
which lies outside our boundaries, the four trunk lines

In view of all the

more.
The percentage of operating expenses to earnings
has, of course, risen. The average on all the lines given
in the table was about 61 per cent in 1878-9, fell to 58 per
cent in 1879-80, and in 18S0-1 was nearer 62 per cent
than 61.
It is worthy of note that while in 1879-80 and
in 1878-9 three of the five roads—the Pennsylvania,
the.Baltimore & Ohio and the Central—were operated- at
less than 60 per cent, in 1SS0-1 the Pennsylvania was the
only one that fell below 60, and that came so near
the limit (59-88) as to be hardly worthy of being
called an exception. In 187S-9 the extremes were 54-IS

in the manage¬
property. Even these, however, would go
only a small way towards meeting the loss entailed by the
reduced rates.
For instance, the report tells us that had
the same rates prevailed on freight as in the
previous
year the freight traffic would have realized $1,125,548
more than it did, and this
may be taken as indicating very
nearly the loss on account of the war; yet notwithstanding
this, Erie’s total earnings increased over 2 million dollars.
The explanation is, that by augmenting the amount of its
general freight the loss on account of rates was about
neutralized, and that the road was enabled to so swell
ment of this
its coal business that this class of traffic alone contributed
increase of
$1,661,810 to gross receipts. Thus Erie’s
comparatively favorable exhibit is due to the gains in coal
traffic, and but for this gain that road, like the Central and
the Baltimore & Ohio, would have had to report a large loss
in net earnings. As to the Pennsylvania, we have no details
to enlighten us as to just how that road made its gain in
gross and net receipts, but having a through business
that is to a much smaller extent competitive than that of
the Central, it would naturally suffer less from a war. The

suggested in our pages by Mr. Atkinson
(July 3, 1880, page 25) it had a constant growth, soon
passing as far beyond the original intent in scope and pur¬
pose, as it has outstripped expectations in practical results.
In reviewing the work done, one is first of all surprised
to find that in matters of detail the management has been
so
efficient and satisfactory.

to note that these two roads appear to be the chief suffer¬
ers from the conflict.
But it will not do to accept the
figures as they stand, either in the case of these roads or
the other three, as indicating the relative amount of loss the
contest has entailed on each.
Thus, for instance, the Balti¬
more & Ohio, as a partial offset to its loss
elsewhere, had
augmented gross and net receipts on its Pittsburg &
Connellsville division, a large coal carrier. Except for
this, its gross earnings would exhibit a decrease, and net
earnings, would show an even heavier diminution than
they now do. On the other hand, as we pointed out last
Week, there were some exceptional and abnormal items in
the expense account of the New York Central this year,
amounting in the aggregate to almost a million dollars,
and to that extent swelling the loss in net on that line
beyond what it would otherwise have been. Allowing for
these circumstances, the loss on these two lines directly
attributable to the war would, it seems, in percentage at
least, approximate more nearly to each other.
Erie’s figures also are by no means a correct indication
of the effect on it of the war of rates. We have frequently

It is marvelous to see

exposition has been a great public notice,
words could be—pushing its
way into almost every cornerof the world—that an indus¬
trial revolution has actually been effected in the South,
and that the people are intent now only upon converting
the forces of nature to the service of man.
Together
with this notice, we have aho the demonstration, through
the reports of the exhibits made, of the wealth of
mine, of forest and of field which awaits the laborer, as
well as of the wonderful progress the South has already
made in organizing its industries and repairing the great
waste suffered by war.
These are facts, the evidences of
which the visitors from the North saw everywhere they
went, and they have brought home with them impressions
that will take them there again and their capital with them.
Even more important, however, than all this, is the
effect tho exposition will have upon Southern people and
upon Southern thought.
We have not space to-day to
enlarge upon these points, and it is not necessary. We
can refer only to the great industry of
cotton-raising and
handling, with regard to which so many improvements
were
suggested and their importance demonstrated.
First it was proved that trashy cotton, even the worst
samples left in the fields, can be profitably cleaned by
removing the sand and leaf before it is ginned, and
worked into fine goods—for this was actually done at At¬
lanta'.
Staple treated in this way will bring in the market
a considerably better
price than the ordinary production.
Again, it was shown that great advance can be made in
the mode of cultivation.
The single instance Mr.
Atkinson cites of Major Jones producing cotton at 3c.
and selling it at 16c., cannot be too often repeated.
But to realize what he experienced requires that plant¬
ing should be managed carefully and economically. One
cannot borrow money at a high rate of interest in any
occupation or expand his business to such an extent that he
must neglect it all, and yet produce the best results.
One
manufactory often nets -J cent a yard while its neighbor is
losing the same, and so we suppose it will always be with
planters ; but there is nothing like keeping before them
what can be done with care and economy as a point to
aim for, since then more will be continually reaching it.
The South has also seen what improvement in tools is
needed for best cultivation and preparation for market.
First of all is a cleaner referred to above which will remove
the sand and trash before cotton is ginned, and thus
advance the grade and therefore the price of the product.
Next is a gin which will combine the speed of the sawgin with the excellencies of the roller-gin. This has not
been secured, but it is evident that the saw-gin harms
greatly many descriptions of the staple, and that there is
a
pressing need for something better. A physician cannot

This, however, does not at all affect the
point we wished to make, and did make, which was that

quite a remarkable result. That is to say, while in 1880

between the years would have been a less important fact
had it not been for the late depreciation in the price of the
Central stock, and the greater desire existing, therefore,
to get at a correct idea of its true value. Hence, it was very
interesting to know that almost one million dollars had
been added to the expense account for articles not required
;he previous year, and which—if we may take the past as a
precedent—will not again be required until two years
ience.
This latter inference finds some support in the
fact that the stockholders have, according to these figures,

thought the balance sheet so readily and
satisfactorily furnished the explanation.
For a ;number of years prior to 1880 the Centrals
funded debt remained about stationary.
In 1880 this
debt was increased by about $1,700,000,* and in 1881 by
just two millions. But the increase is easily accounted for.
Notwithstanding its double and quadruple tracks, not¬
withstanding its excellent terminal accommodations, and
notwithstanding its splendid facilities in every way, the
Central finds that further additions to its property and
plant are an absolute necessity. Thus in 1881 (to confine
ourselves to the present year) $5,083,163 were expended
in additions to road and equipment.
How this money
was expended was shown in detail in the construction
account published last week in our news columns. Some of
the iarger items were as follows: $1,024,179 for land at
New York, Rochester, Buffalo, &c.; $1,743,970 for 3,070
new
freight cars; grading and superstructure for third
and fourth tracks between Rochester and Buffalo,
$1,063,445; stations, piers, yard improvements, &c., at
New York, Albany, and Buffalo, $790,287.
Certainly, these are all permanent additions to the
value of the property, and as such are chargeable to con¬
struction and equipment account, and not to earnings.
Of
the five millions added to property the funded debt
supplied only two millions ; the remainder of the neces¬
sary money was derived from an increase of about
$250,000 in floating debt, a reduction of about $1,750,000
in cash and cash assets, and an increase in general surplus,
representing the accumulated earnings, &c., invested in
property, of about $1,500,000 (in this amount is included
$778,151 premium realized from the sale of the two
million bonds). This makes a half a million more than the
five millions required, but there are other items that enter
into either side of the balance-sheet which, if included,
would make the accounts just balance.
Thus there is nothing extraordinary about the Central’s
increase
of indebtedness.

paying stocks must in the future average lower than they
have done, unless their earnings will warrant an advance
in the dividends.
In

earnings continue
this
connection it is to be
remem¬
large, and as
of winter compare with returns
during the heavy snows and blockades of last winter, it is
to be presumed that the Northwestern roads

will make a good showing.
Hence when the large specu¬
lators are ready for it, they may find plenty of reasons for.
giving the market a rapid upward turn.
It is not surprising that there should have been a
flurry
in London on Tuesday amounting to what has been
characterized as a “ panicky ” feeling.
The unsettled
tone at the close of our market on Saturday and the news
of the partial demoralization
existing here at the opening
on
Tuesday, doubtless contributed to an uneasy feeling in
London on that day and on Wednesday.
It is reported
that the foreign bankers here were liberal sellers of stocks
on Wednesday for
European account. This report may
have been only partially true and have been magnified for
speculative effect. There is no evidence in the tone of
the foreign exchange market of large sales for European
we

very
for the weeks
account, for if these sales had been made and the pro-;
ceeds immediately remitted there -would have been a
sharp demand for sterling. Still, it is possible that the
stock has been sold here, but that the brokers do not
intend to remit for it until the
arrival of the
certificates
and that meantime
they will borrow the stock for delivery.
This course is sometimes pursued by brokers in London
as well as here, and will in
part explain the oversold con¬
dition of
our
stock market.
In this
case we
should expect
demand for
exchange some ten days or a fortnight hence.
Money was stringent on Tuesday, when the rate on call
was advanced to
£ of one per cent commission and interest.
It was a little more abundant on Wednesday,when 1-16 was
the highest commission paid, and it was plentiful on Thursday, when the extremes were 6 per cent and 2 percent. This
abundance was due to the large disbursements
by the
Assistant Treasurer for January interest and also to the
payments for dividends and interest by the banks for
other corporations.
The oversold condition of the stock
market aided in lessening the demand.
The Treasury
operations for the week show a loss (which is a gain to the
banks) of $7,400,707 24. The rates of exchange on New
York at Chicago and St. Louis have risen to par, and

grandest financial operations, aside from the Gov¬
ernment funding in 3£ per cent bonds, were in railroad
consolidations, and in the organization and carrying for¬
ward of new projects upon a gigantic scale.
Early in the
year the absorption of the American Union Telegraph by
the Western Union, under the management of Mr. Jay
Gould and his associates, and the increase of the stock
of the last-named company to $80,000,000, was one of
the most successful stock operations ever accomplished.
In railroad construction, the actual mileage estimated
to have been built by no means shows the real activity
which was at work in this branch of industrial enterprise.
The new road completed is closely estimated at 9,000
miles, and on the basis of $25,000 per mile this would
call for an actual outlay of $225,000,000 in the year; but
this includes none of the capital raised for roads in
progress and to be pushed forward in 1882, nor does it
include anything for railroads building in Mexico with
American capital.
An interesting comparison is obtained by bringing
together the figures indicating the general financial situa¬
tion in New York at the opening of the present year and
at the same date in each of the two preceding years.

rate for money on call loans to 1 per cent a day on February

market continued very active for some days, but after the bill
was vetoed by President Hayes on March 3, there was a decided
relaxation. In the latter part of March and early in April
rates for call loans again advanced, and stock brokers paid a
commission for loans in addition to 6 per cent per annum; but
after that time money was quite easy till after the middle of
August. In August began the great speculation in wheat and

again put up the rates till a commission on call loans was paid

by th# Government to provide for the payment or

A bill passed both houses of Congress for the issue of a 3 per

adopted an ingenious plan, which resulted in one of the most
brilliant transactions ever known. He offered to the holders
of the bonds coming due the privilege of continuing them in
registered bonds payable any time at the option of the Gov¬
ernment, and bearing 3^ per cent interest.
The holders
availed themselves of this privilege, and the available surplus
funds then and afterwards in the Treasury were applied to the
purchase or payment of bonds, and the entire changes in the
interest-bearing debt, and the saving ot interest thereon, by
the continuance and payment of bonds during the yea* ending

Chicago Burlington & Quincy.—Concerning the Denver
extension, the Chicago Times, in its yearly review of western
roads, says : “ The movement by the management to extend the
Nebraska division, which came into the possion of the Burling¬
ton & Quincy a short time ago, is by no means ineigiific&nt.
While its through Pacific-ooast traffic will, at least for some time
to come, be carried over the Union Pacific and Central Pacific,
or via the more southern route, it will have more than equal
advantage for Denver and Colorado business. When the Denver
extension is
completed the Chicago Burlington & Quincy will
and absolutely control under one management, the
own,
only through line from Chicago, St. Louis and other mer¬
cantile centres east of the Missouri River, to Denver,
west
of
the
Missouri.
Therefore, by having asolute
control of a continuous line under one management, the
company will be in a position to dictate its own policy aa to
through freight and passenger traffic. Its commanding position
will be so prominent that the management may make such
rates as may be justifiable in order to secure business and do
justice to the capital invested in the company’s property. This
extension is being extraordinarily well constructed, and, too,
with moderate cost per mile, so that a reasonable sacrifice can
be made from present through rates without affecting the net
earnings that the capital invested should enjoy. When a,
railway company is in a position to command this advantage, it
is largely beneficial to the public. The Burlington & Quincy
will have a shorter line to Denver than any other, and it is
understood that between
Chicago and Denver the distance will
be made less than it is at present by shortening the Iowa
division. It may be justly called the ‘Denver Short Line/
The rails are now laid west of the Colorado State line, and the
grading is done 110 miles west of the line.

Long Island Railroad.—The annual report of the Long
Island Railroad Company for the year 1881 has been forwarded
to the State Engineer at Albany.
It shows that the funded
and floating debt has been reduced from $3,837,466 to $3,133,177. It also shows that the capital stock authorized by charter
was
$1,500,000, but that it has since raised to $10,000,000,
and that the stock subscribed and paid on is $9,960,070. Th*
total expenditures were $1,756,372, and the receipts $1,946,667.
The number of passengers carried was 6,512,270, or about
1,000,000 in
excess"of the number on any former pear. Not one
passenger was killed, and only one injured. During the year
the Montank extension from Patchogne to Eastport was opened.
The company
did not control the Rockaway Beach business or

Pennsylvania State Bonds.—At Harrisburg, Pa., January
4, the bids for the new ten-million dollar State loan were
opened in the presence of the Governor, Secretary of the Commonwealth, the State Treasurer and representatives of Drexel
' & Co., Townsend, Whelan & Co., and Theodore Walton, all of
whom had bid extensively. Of the loan, Drexel & Co. will get
about $6,300,000 thirty-year bonds at 4 per cent, at an average
premium cf 107. Townsend, Whelan & Co., of Philadelphia,
will receive about $200,000 of the thirty-year loan at 4 per cent
and $825,000 at 3^ per cent; B. K. Jamison, of Philadelphia,
will be awarded $600,000 at 3^£ per cent, Gilpin & Co. $276,COO
at 3per cent, and James T. Young, of Philadelphia, $600,000
at 3^6 per cent. About $5,000,000 of the long bonds brought
4 per cent and an average premium of 107, and $1,500,000 of
the long bonds brought 3% per cent and an average premium
of 102& One million dollars of the short bonds were disposed
of at 3^ per cent and $1,500,000 at 4 per cent. In the aggre¬
gate about $20,000,000 were bid; over $6,500,000 were with¬
drawn. The premiums amount to about $400,000, much larger

Pacific.—The New York World has the following: “The IronMountain system, which embraces the Iron Mountain, the Inter¬
national & Great Northern and Texas & Pacific, has added 897
miles of new road during the year.
There are two short
branches on the Iron Mountain of forty-six miles—the exten¬
sion of the Texas Pacific from Baird to Sierra Blanco, 370 miles;
Whitesboro to Fort Worth, 71 miles ; the completion of the
road from Shreveport-, La., to New Orleans, 226 miles, and the
extension of the International & Great Northern from New
Brannbels to Laredo on the Rio Grande, 84 miles. All these
lines run through rich cotton, sugar or timber country, and are
developing very fast. In addition to the above a line has been
surveyed from KDobel, on the Iron Mountain Railroad, to Alex¬
andria, La., which will be vigorously pushed next year, and
when completed will form au important line in a short route
from St. Louis to New Orleans
on
the west side of the Missis¬
sippi River. To operate the increased mileage of this system,
there have been added to its equipment 100 locomotives, 66
passenger
and baggage cars and 2,846 freight cars.
“
The Missouri Pacific, or what is known as the northwestern
division of the southwestern system, has added 570 miles of new
roads, as follows: Jefferson City to Russellville, 20 miles; Nevada
to Carthage, 47 miles; Sedalia to Warsaw, Mo., 42 miles; Logan
to Lenora, on the Central Branch Road, 25 miles; Hiawatha to
Falls City, Kan., 35 miles; Union Pacific Junction, Neb., 4
miles; on the Missouri Kansas & Texas Division, a branch
from Greenville to Mendota, 52 miles; branch from Whitesboro
to Waco, 184 miles; Greenville to Jefferson, 122 miles; Denton
to Dallas, 30 miles. The Waco branch is to be extended to
Tyler, 74 miles; the line from Falls City north will be pushed
rapidly, and quite a number of the branches of the Central
Branch Road will be built during the ensuing year. The
increased equipment of this system, which now embraces 2,466
miles of roaa in operation, is: locomotives, 40; passenger
coaches, 20; baggage and mail cars, 10; hotel cars, 8; sleepingcars, 2; freight cars, 3,000.”

JANUARY 6, lSS‘A-5 P.M.
Market and Financial Situation.—The year
opened with tight money and a very weak stock market. It was
to be expected that call loans would be quite stringent for a few
days about the first of January, but with the disbursement of
something like $70,000,000 in New York, Boston & Philadelphia,
for interest and dividends, it is anticipated, with good reason,
that the call loan market will soon be well supplied with funds.
The course of the stock market has probably been to many a
surprise and disappointment, as it was believed that the short
interest was pretty well covered at the close of the year, and
steadier prices, if not a positive advance, were looked for early
in January. For some reason the market has not met with
the usual support from large operators, and it is therefore
concluded that some of them are not unwilling to see a decline.
The Wabash affair unquestionably had a depressing influence
upon the whole list, as the passing of a dividend at so early a
period in its consolidated history, and at the same time having
a deficiency in the funds necessary to pay interest, was any¬
thing but a hopeful exhibit. From the facts so far known, it
appears as if the question presented was simply this: Can Mr.
Gould afford to let Wabash go to default in view of his other
large interests in the stock market ? This question was answered
—but not very promptly—in the negative, and Mr. Gould as¬
sumed the presidency and the necessary funds were imme¬
diately raisedi
We are now coming to the period of the year when the earn¬
ings of many of the Western railroads should make a handsome
showing, as compared with last year when they were blockaded
with snow. If they do not compare favorably, provided the
weather is reasonably good, it will be on account of the smaller
grain business, which may certainly make some impression on
the earnings reports during the next six months. The annual
reports of th3 leading companies for the year 1881 will be
looked for now with much interest, as a careful examination of
mileage, gross earnings, net earnings, and bonded and floating
debt, must be the test by which the stocks will ultimately be
judged.
The money market opened with high rates on call loans, and
in the early part of the week stock borrowers paid'as high as %
of 1 per cent in addition to legal interest. But latterly the
range has been easier, and much of the business had been done
at 5(2)6 per cent. On Government bonds call money remains
very easy, and plenty is offered at 3 per cent. Prime paper is
still quoted about 6@6% per cent.
The Bank of England statement on Thursday showed a de¬
crease for the week of £68,000 in specie, and the percentage
of reserve to liabilities was 31%, against 34% last week. The
discount rate remains at 5 per cent.

Bonds.—There have been moder ate
dealings in Southern State bonds, and to-day the Tennessees
at 74, Louisiana consols 67%, South Carolina 6s nonfundable at 11, North Carolina special tax, 3d class, at 8.
Railroad bonds have not yet met with a large demand, and
prices are easier for some of the very fair bonds. There is every
prospect of a large investment inquiry between this time and
the first of March, and it is well worth while for our readers to
ask themselves whether the current prices are not as low as they
are likely to be hereafter, and whether the present time of
depression in stocks is not a good time to purchase anything for
sold
investment.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—On Tuesday, the first
business day of the new year, stocks fell off, and general weak¬
prevailed throughout most of the list. It was a little curious
a year ago we noted the fact that on December 31,1880, a
number of stocks sold at the highest prices of that enlire year;
ness
that
and
now we
chronicle the fact that
on
December 31,1S81, some
prominent stocks—notably New York Central and Lake Shore—
pjints reached in that year. It is unques¬
tionably true that the war in rates among the trunk lines is one
of the prime causes for the decrease in net profits, and if that
was settled on anything like a permanent basis, the prospect
touched the lowest
on the Vanderbilt roads has
large that the superiority of the Erie and Pennsylvania
roads in having a coal traffic to help them out has been remark¬
ably demonstrated. To-day the worst reports come from Chicago,
namely, that all the trunk roads have reduced their rates to ten
cents per 100 pounds to New York, the rate to Philadelphia
being eight cents a ad to Baltimore seven cents; also that busi¬
ness from Chicago to the Missouri River has again been reduced.
The ways of the railroad magnates are past finding out, and
what is the ultimate purpose of this positive throwing away of
money in the railroad war, can not yet be determined, though
the first and last conclusion of the average operator will be that
it is for the purpose of depressing stocks.
After much weakness and occasional rallies since Tuesday, the
market to-day was stronger, though closing feverish and less,

REPORTS.
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad.
(For the year ending November 30, 1881.)
The President and managers have submitted their annual
report, at much length, from which the following is condensed.
The managers refer in detail to their proposed plan of readjust¬
ment, of which they give the following summary :
First. It proposes to cover, bv a general consolidated mort¬
gage, all the properties of both companies, in such manner as
to avoid all danger from a forced disintegration.
Second. It proposes to reduce the fixed charges for interest,
rentals and sinking funds, so as to bring them within the limit
of the earning capacity of the company.
Third. It proposes to give to unsecured junior creditors of
the company, and to junior creditors of some of the more bur¬
densome of the leased properties, a lien upon the property for
the principal amount of their indebtedness ; the interest upon
such new secured obligation to be fixed at the rate of 3 per
cent per annum—additional interest, not exceeding 3 per cent
in any one year to be paid from current net revenue only when

Company loans for 1881, in all $1,554,434 is not included. It is,
-however, an obligation that must be provided for under any plan of re-construction, the same as any other indebtedness.
About $10,000,000 of the floating indebtedness

of the company was
of $5,480,000 general
mortgage, and $6,976,000 income mortgage bonds of the company, and
$8,000,000 of Coal & Iron Company capital stock, with other stocks and
bonds owned by the two companies, including those by which twenty-one
affiliated corporations of the Railroad and Coal & Iron companies are con¬
trolled. The permanent control of these tributary corporations is vital
to the railroad company, and it is of primary importance that this indebt'edness shall be provided for in such manner as to protect these hypothe¬
cated securities from ever again being placed in a position where they

Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe.—The Boston Advertiser
reports : “ Duriug the past year this company has added mate¬
rially to its mileage, both by acquirements and extensions. An
important purchase was that of the Kansas City Lawrence &
Southern Kansas Railroad, with a mileage of 375 miles, con¬
necting Kansas City, via Lawrence, Cherryvale and Coffevvilla,
with the Indian Territory, and by another stem, via Cherryvale, Independence and Harper, with the southwestern part of
Kansas. Exclusive of the lines or branches in Mexico, the total
mileage at present of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe amounts,
to some 3,000 miles.
The Colorado line, from Kansay City to*
Pueblo, is 635 miles in length. The New Mexico line leaves the
main line at La Junta, Col., a distance of 571 miles from Kansas
City, and extends in a southwesterly direction to Deminer, New
Mexico, a distance of 1,149 miles. A branch, 77 miles in length,
extends from Rincon, a point on the New Mexico line about 50
miles from Doming, to El Paso. From El Paso to the City of
Mexico the connecting line will bear the name of Mexican Central
Railroad. The distance between these two points is 940 miles, of
which 200 miles are now graded, and about 75 miles of track laid.
“The additions made, to the rolling stock of the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe within the past twelvemonth include 2,700
freight
cars, 35 passenger care and 46 locomotives. The amount
of steel rails purchased during the year foots up the impressive
total of 42,000 tons, sufficient to build and relay 500 miles. The
earnings of the road have been enormous, showing that liberal and
progressive enterprise is sure to succeed, and that in return for
the common benefits conferred it will obtain a gratifying meas¬
ure of commercial reward.
It is safe to say that tne increase

“The percentage of expenses to earnings in 1881, according to
the foregoing figures, was 56‘79 per cent, an increase from
1880 of 5*98 per cent.
This is a very moderate increase, in
view of the fact that most of the railroads that have reported
recently have shown an increase in working expenses of about
10 to 15 per cent.
By applying this rate of expenses to the
gross earnings reported for the whele year of 1881, the

The new year opens with

and stock markets. Prices, which had been forced up so high
for domestic products as to materially check exports,-have de¬

in this movement. Credits are unimpaired, and labor seems to
be fully employed in all directions. The increased cost of
living is felt, and is causing demands for higher wages; but as
a rule there is very little disturbance of the labor market.

Plantations.—The
following table is
of indicating the actual movement each
wees from the plantations.
Receipts at the outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another, at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following. In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

Stocks
Cotton.—The great
accumulation of stocks is
attracting attention. It is accounted for by the notable falling
off of exports, which, compared with last year, amounts to
about 500.000 bales. Cotton offered from the South might be
placed here to advantage for future delivery, but few of our
operators care to increase their interest as our banks refuse
as make further advances, and warehouse room is becoming
of
scarce.

Rye has been dull and weak. Barley has been more active
pretty full figures; yet the firmness of holders checked the
demand. To-day No. 1 Canada sold at about $112. Oats have had
rather a slow trade in the regular way, and the speculation has
been less active. Prices, however, have been pretty well main¬
tained. To-day the market was steady; No. 2 graded 51%c. for
white and 50^c. for mixed, and No. 2 mixed 50%c. for March.
