Portuguese loan for £10,360,000 has been introduced upon
the leading European money markets this week. It is in a 3
per cent stock and the price of issue in London is £50 IDs. per
£100 stock.
The brilliant weather and ample supplies have caused the
wheat trade to rule extremely quiet. Millers are naturally
purchasing with extreme caution, as harvest is rapidly approaching, and in the earlier districts of Europe is near at
hand. In the early districts of England the wheat plant has
passed through the critical step of blooming under unusually
favorable conditions. The weather has been almost cloudless and
breezeless, and only a continuance of such weather is necessary to insure an excellent and early crop. The grass crop is
short, but is being secured in fine condition. The second crop
is expected to be above an average.
The Economist has the following mformation from its Continental correspondent with regard to the crops:
Paris—A revised return of the wheat crop in France has
been issued by the Department of Agriculture. To show how
far the estimates differ from the reality, it may be mentioned
that the trade journals at the period of the harvest last year
fixed the probable yield at from 83 to 85 millions of hectolitres
of 2% English bushels. The reports read at the commercial
meeting held at Vienna, in August, put it at 93 and 94 millions; the first return of the French Department of Agriculture in October fixed it approximately at 103 millions; and the
definite return now gives it at 103,700,000.
Estimating the
stock on hand remaining from the crop of 1883 at 20 millions,
and the balance of imports at 12,000,000, the total supply for
1883 was 135,700,000. Deducting seed com and the consumption,
estimated at 116,000,000, the probable stock is now
18,000,000 hectolitres.

KEW YORK. FRinAY, JULY 11, 1884-5 P. M.
The Money Market and Financial Situation.— The city
banks on July 5 had a surplus reserve above the legal rec[uirement of |16,302,800. This, with the prevailing dull business,
would indicate easy money for some time.
The crop situation has improved during the week, and in the
Northern States, particularly at the West, the prospects are
most favorable; in the South there was too much rain in June
for the'cotton crop, but much will depend on the weather in July.
In general business there is hope of improvement in activity
this month, but June was undeniably dull, and there is complaint in the manufacturing districts, where mills are shutting
down till surplus stocks are out of the way.
There seems to have been quite a change in the foreign
trade.movement since the crisis of May, and imports of merchandise have fallen off sharply as compared with previous
have as yet only the returns for the port of New
years.
York, but as about 68 per cent of the imports of the whole
country come in here, the figures are significant. If this
decrease continues, as now seems probable, and our crops and
exports are large tliis fall, an importation of foreign gold
would be the result. The imports of merchandise at New
York for four successive weeks were as follows, but it is to be
remembered that in June, 1883, the imports were exceptionally

At the Stock Exchange the
tone
has
and
there has been a re-action from the extraordinary
which characterized the two days preceding the
Fourth of July.
On the other hand, there has been no return
of the great weakness and trepidation which was the prevail-
spurt
ing sentiment during most of June. After the earthquakes we
have recently had in the market, experience %vould teach us to
look for a quiet business for some time to come.
On the one
side, bears have had a rich harvest, which the low range of
prices makes it impossible to repeat on the other side, confidence has been broken, and the buying of stocks on margin by
the outside public can hardly be sufficient to create any boom.
Rates for call loans during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged at 1 to 23^ per cent, and to-day at 1 to 2
per cent. Prime commercial paper is quoted at 5J^@ 6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a loss in specie of £374,000, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 43
the discount rate remains at 2 per cent.

State and Railroad Bonds.— There has been nothing of
importance in State bonds.
Railroad bonds are getting into a much healthier position,
where the prices of good bonds are regulated more by their fair
value than by the tone of the stock market. The speculative
bonds, whose ultimate value is uncertain, will continue to
fluctuate with the prospects of their respective companies
thus, such bonds as Erie second consols, Denver & Rio Grande
consols, Texas & Pacific Rio Grande Division, Philadelphia &
Reading generals, and West Shore firsts, will vary each week
until their status is better determined, 'In our remarks last
week concerning six per cent bonds selling at 75 to 95 with
good security back of them, we referred mainly to the prior
issues of raili-oads having an established business, but which
are in financial difficulties, and in some cases defaulting on
junior securities.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.— The stock market
has followed a course which, in the absence of any strikin g
event, is just about wliat might have been expected. First
there came a decided re- action from the extraordinary rise of
last week, and on Monday prices declined sharply. On Tuesday
and Wednesday there was but little better feeling and with
the customary bear reports of special or general rottenness, the
market was depressed, Thursday saw an improvement on good
buying of leading stocks, and "this was continued on Friday,
when the market accepted Cleveland's nomination not unfavorably, and prices in the last hour were at or near the highest.
The stock market is now in a situation where, to get a fair
and long view of the condition of affairs, one should stand back

Exchange.— The market
for foreign bUls has been very
with a tendency to war. Is firmer prices in the past few
days. There are not manv bills making against securities bought
for foreign account, and commercial bills at this season
are
naturally in moderate supply; the maturing of loans of borrewed bills also adds to the present strength in prices. Francs
are reported a trifle firmer on account of the reduced shipmonts to French ports where cholera prevails.
To-day the rates for actual business were as follows viz
Sixty days, 4:m}i@iB'i%; demand, 4 85i.^(«)4 85?/.
Cables'
4 86@4 861^.
Commercial bills were 4 80i^'ai4 81.
Continental bills were quoted as fo1io~Ws, viz,: Francs
205^ and 5 \8%@^ 181^; reichsmarks, U}4@H% and
i?'}/^fJ'
94;^@95 guilders, 40(3401,^ and m4@40%.
The followmg were the rates of Domestic Exchange on New
York at the under-mentioned cities to-day: Savannah, buying
Jg premmm, selling 1^ premium; Charleston, buying par
seUing 3-16(3^^ premium; Boston, 17 to 30 cents
discountNew Orleans, commercial 12o premium, bank 200 premiumSt. Louis, 1-10 premium.
The posted rates of leading bankers on Friday are as follow

panic.
3. The condition of general trade, particularly in the manufacturing districts, is not good.
4. The crop prospects on grain and com are exceptionally
good, but on cotton only fair.
5. The railroads must be separated one from another, and
the value of each stock judged on its own merits; some stocks
will recover largely, while others may remain at about present
figures or go lower.
6. Railroad property, as judged by earnings, is not generally
in abad condition; comparison is made with 1883, th" heaviest
year on record; expenses are reduced, and net earnings thus
far make a very fair exhibit. There are several conspicuous
exceptions to this in roads that have already defaulted. With
large crops the traffic after Sept. 1 should be lieavy.
As to special stocks this week, the prominent Vanderbilts,
the Granger stocks, Lackawanna and Union Pacific, have
all been strong on good buying, assisted by the purchases to
cover shorts. The two Gould specialties have been s ipported
as usual, Louisville & Nashville has been stronger, but the
result of the directors' meeting on July 17 will be awaited with
interest.
Central Pacific weakened on Sir. Huntington's
announcement that he had advised against any dividend in
August, but was stronger to-day, closing at 37?^. The short
interest in stocks appears to be large still, and nearlv all the
actives are in demand for borrowing.
To-day New York Central lent at 3-32(^1^ per diem for use: Missouri Pacific at 1-16;
Lake Shore at l-33(iSl-16; Lackawanna at 3-32; Illinois Central
Manitoba and Burlington & Quinoy at 1-32; Jersev Central at
l-64@l-32; Union Pacific, St. Paul. Northern Pacifi'c preferred,
Reading and Central Pacific at 1-64; and Northwestern and
Western Union
flat to 1-64.

Railroad, said: "In my opinion it is for the best interests of
the stockholders of the Central Pacific that no dividend shall
be declared at this time, and I have so suggested to my associate directors in the California office. The last half-year's
business has been light on account of unprecedented floods."
It would be far better if more railroad managers had the
courage to pass dividends when they had not been fully and
fairly earned; and if they would accompany such action by a
frank statement of the income and expenses, the passing of
one or two dividends would not seriously damage a really
Taluable stock. Whatever may have been said of Mr. Huntington as a railroad monopolist and autocrat, the worst bears
have never charged him with speculating in his own stocks or
bonds, or doing anything to depreciate them.

connection for Dakota business and probably most of its east-

due north and south through a very good country, and may
expect a considerable local traffic, although it will meet with
competition at a number of points where it crosses the east and
west lines. A large part of the capital has been furnished by
parties who are stockholders in the Milwaukee & St. Paul, but

Chicago k Eastern Illinois. The Chicago Tribune says
" The foreclosure case of Fosdickand Fish against the Chicago
Danville
Vincennes Railroad Company, which has been in
the Federal courts for nearly ten years, was closed up
by a final decree entered before Judge Blodgett, which
disposes of all the questions involved, in accordance with the
decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. The
Court finds agamst all the defendants except the Chicago
Extern Illinois Railroad Company, which latter road gets a
decree on its cross bill establishing its title to the road it has
bought. The Chicago
Eastern Illinois is held to have a perfect title under the foreclosure sale and subsequent conveyances to the Illinois division of the Chicago Danville
Vincennes Railroad Company, free and clear of any
liens against the
latter
road.
The ijetition of the
National
City
Bank of Ottawa, holder of certain
mortgage bonds, for leave to intervene, was dismissed."
The new bonds, $6,000,000 consolidated 6s, are printed. Of
these $4,500,000 are set aside in trust to redeem outstanding
issues.
The remaining |1,.500, 000 will be sold, and the proceeds
used to retire the equipment notes and other floating debt to
the amount of about $1,000,000. The corrected earnings of
tlie road for 10 months of the fiscal year to April 30 were:

Lake Shore & Michigan Southern.—The Court has
re-
fused to continue the temporary injunction against the renewal of the lease of the Jamestown & PVanklin Railroad to
this company, but has appointed a master to examine the accounts between the two companies and to report to the Court.
At a recent meeting of the directors of the Jamestown
Franklin Co. the general counsel of the Lake Shore Co. was
present and submitted three propositions on behalf of the
Lake Shore: 1. That the Lake Shore should surrender the
road and that it should be operated as an independent line.
8. That the Lake Shore Co. should operate the roa(l as the
agent of the Jamestown & Franklin Co., reporting the earnings and the expenditures at the end of each month. 8. That
in view of the present complications and the beginning of a
suit to enjoin a new lease, the Lake Shore should consent to
operate the road under the terms of the present lease until
January, 1885. The third proposition was unanimously accepted by the Jamestown & Franklin board.
It is stated
that the trouble in connection with the renewing of the lease
has been made by some of the minority stockholders who want
the Lake Shore Co. to buy up their stock in order to prevent
trouble.— i?. R. Gazette.

the Oregon Companies, says the Northern Pacific and Oregon
Railroad & Navigation companies' boards of directors have
formally voted to lease the latter to the former on the basis of
six per cent for two years, seven per cent for three years and
eight per cent in perpetuity. President Harris, of Northern
Pacific, has gone to look over the property, and the lease will
be signed on liis return.

«st coupons on $1,000,000 of the bonds of the Spartanburg
Union & Columbia Railroad were due July 10, but were not
paid. About two-thirds of these bonds are said to be held by
a single firm in New York. The Spartanburg Union Columbia runs from Alston to Spartanburg, in South Carolina,
68 miles. It was sold under foreclosure June 7, 1880, and was
leased to the Columbia
Greenville Railroad for 99 years
from April J, 1881, at an annual rental of $50,000. The leased
company has applied this money to the payment of the inter«st on its bonds. The present default is due to the fact that
the directors of the Columbia & Greenville Road have refused
to par the rent on the ground that recent action of the South
Carofina Railroad Commissioners have so depreciated the value
of the leased road as to make it unprofitable. The Times reports that the Columbia & Greenville directors have raised a
point as to the legality of the lease, which will probably have to
be determined in the courts. The Columbia Greenville Road is
controlled by the Riclimond
Danville and West Point Terminal companies. At the Richmond
Danville otiices in this
city it was stated that this default was one that concerned the (I'olumbia

Presn of July 3. says: "Messrs. R. R. Cable, President of the
Chicago Rock Island & Pacific, H. H. Porter, formerly President of the Omaha, and A. B. Stickney, of the St. Paul, were
in Minneapolis yestTday, atten<ling a meeting of the directors
of the Wisconsin MiTne'sota & Pacific. The directors authorized the bonding of th^ road to the extent of $15,000 o mile
for construction purpo3!j as fast as completed. Work is being
rushed as fast as pt/jsi ble, 50 miles being already grade<l.
Track-laying will commence at Morton next Monday, and the
entire 120 miles will bo complete<l before October. The road
runs from Mortan, the present terminus of the Minneapolis &
St. Louis, to Watertown, Minn.
The country through which
the road passes embraces some of the best portions of D ikota,
and the opening up of this country will add to the finest
fnrming lands of the territory."
The President of the Wisconsin Minnesota & Pacific Road
denies the report that his line was an extension of the Minneapolis & .St. Louis Road, and states that it is the intention
of the company to extend its line east to Red Wing at a future
date, the idea being to build the west end first so as to tap the
most available and productive territory first.

The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
has been only moderately active in the past week, but prices
have varied widely and the tone of the market was quite unsetOn Monday, with no great pressure to sell, there was,
tled.
in the absence of any supporting demand, a decline of 14@20
points from the closing figures of the previous Thursday.
August was the most depressed. On Tuesday this decline was
about half recovered, owing to tlie publication of the crop
report for June, as comjnled by the National Cotton Exchange,
representing among other things tliat the crop is very late.
There was a slight decline on Wednesday, but a steadier closing on tlie reports of excessive heat in Texas burning up whatever of the crop that escaped the exce.ssive rains of May; and
on Thursday there was a firmer opening, but the close was
lower. To-day the Bureau report for June appeared, and is
given on another page. It was less favorable than was generLiveqjool was dearer and the opening with us
ally expected.
was at a general advance, most decided and best maiutained
months,
but the close was dull. As compared
for the distant
with last week's closing there is to-day a decline of 13@19
points for tills crop and 3@5 points for the next. Cotton on
the spot has been much less active than for some weeks past.
Notwithstanding the rapid reduction that has lieen going on
in our stocks, prices liave been weak. Quotations were
reduced l-16c. on Monda and again on Wednesday, wliile on
Thursday business came quite to a standstill. To-day there
was more doing for liome consumption, at steady prices, middling uplands closing at lie.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 393,900
For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
bales.
5,895 bales, including 2,013 for export, 3..S33 for consumption,
in transit. Of the above,

for speculation and
were to arrive. The following are the official quotations for

Receipts from the Plantations. The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are sometimes 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 outports.

First Bales of New Cotton and the National Cotton
Exchange. As the time when new first bales of cotton are
—
rapidly approaching, it is proper to call the attention of those interested to the action taken by the National
Cotton Exchange at their sixth convention, held at Old Point
received
is
The subject was
Comfort, Va., July 18th and 19th, 1883.
introduced by Mr. Seeligson, of Texas, who at the same time
submitted a sample of a reputed first bale of cotton of that
year's crop which might be called anything but cotton
and as he desired to condemn the practice of getting up bales
of that sort, presented the following resolution:
Whereas, A sample of the first new bale of cotton received
at the city of New York from Texas, July i2,has been exhibited
on the floor of this Exchange, showing conclusively that it
was picked when unmatured, and believing that cotton so
marketed is calculated to mislead the cotton interests of the
;
country, therefore be it
Resolved, That the National Cotton Exchange recommends
to the Cotton Exchanges of the United States, that a new bale
of cotton shall be so classed only when it is fully matured.
That any cotton found in such bales not fully matured shall
be considered good grounds for its rejection. All tiist new
bales received from any State shall be submitted for examination to the Committee on Classification at the Exchange
where received, and their decision of acceptance or rejection
shall be final.
No one will deny the wisdom and justice of the above resolution, and it should have the effect of putting an end to the
questionable practices which have obtained in former seasons.
The resolution is aimed both at " bogus " bales and also cotton
picked before maturity. The Georgia bale received at Savannah, July 6, 1883, was generally acknowledged to be a
and a bale that was received in this city from Houston,
Texas, was " gin cut " and quite wet, being picked before maturity.
These so called new bales do a deal of damage to the
fraud,
cotton interest and hereafter will, owing to their failure to
receive the approval of the Cotton Exchanges, have no standing as such.
National Cotton Exchange Crop Report for July 1.
The National Cotton Exchange issued its report for the month
of June on July 8, and it is summarized as follows:
The weather conditions during June have been exactly reversed from
those of May. The Atlantic and Eastern Gulf States now report an
excess of rainfall. * • « On the other liauu the district west of merldiau 13. emhracing the bottom lands of Slisaissipi, the States of Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, have bad a liclit fall, and that distributed
in timely showers. The Western half of the cotton belt 1ms. therefore.
Improved in condition very much. The dry weather has facilitated
the
fields
are
pretty
farm work, and, except in Texas,
clean
and the plant healthy and growing well, though late
by flfteen to thlity days. In Texas, work is nut so well
advanced, owing to the very foul condition previousl.v !\nd the
necessity for so mucli re-planting, and the crop there is about the latest
in many .years. In this section tlio condition is, therefore, much better
than in .May, but not much, if any, above last year; and the stands are
on the wliole rather inferior. In Alal)aina and the Atlantic States the
lands were well cultivated when the rains set in, the crops were clean
and the ground in a good condition to receive moiotuie. The rainfall,
while more than needed, has not seriously damaged the crops or jiut
them verj badly in grass, except in portions of Georgia; and while the
fields now need the plow and hoR, and the situatiim is sojnewhat critloal, the reports agree in stating that with a week or ten d.-iys' dry and
warm weather, they would be put in good trim The plant lias suffered
some from the continued low temperature, which lasted until the 15th
or 20th. the cold l)eing suflicieut for fires toward the North, with licht
frosts In Virainia and North Carolina; but the last ten days were
warmer and the growth more rapid. In this section the plant is. as a
rule, not so late as west of the river, but is still backward leu to twenty
days, but is looking well, though small, and the stands are generally
pretty good, much of the late planting Laving germinated and come up
during the e irly part of June. • * " Takmg tliB whole cotton belt
together, the eoudiiion ina.v be repi'oseuted as lietter than at the close of
May and a trifle superior to last year, with prospects, however, largely
dependent upon early cessation of rain in tlie Atlantic State,"*, and the
crop, owing to latenessand deficient growth, sulyect to serious loss from
an early frost or even one at average' date.
The Agricultural Depart.ment's July Report. —The
following statement, showing the condition of cotton, was
issued by the Department of Agriculture, July 10.
The report of the Department of Agriculture for July relative to cot
ton represents that raius have been excessive during June over th.
entire bieadth. the temi erature low. the plants too siuculent. and generally late for the season. In some plae.es almost daily raius have
ocomrcd for two or three weeks. The fields are necessarily grass.v. in
some cases the plants are smothered, and the aphis is l>ecuming al»uudant. There is some complilut of shodrtliig forms as the result of these
oonditicms.
A statement received from the Signal Service Office
shows that the mean temperature for June was about 3 deg.
below normal at WilmingKm. 5 deg. at Charleston, and (in
the interior) 4 dog. at Chailotte and 10 deg. at Atlanta. Beyond the Mississippi the depression was from 1 deg. to 2 degs. With
Bcasoualile weather hereafter the condition will improve. With drought
following exposure of such succulence by clean cultivation serious
Injury would result. There is nothing at present to render a fair crop
Impossible, but the next sixty days will be awaited with interest if not
anxiety. There has been some planting In June, especially in Louisiana,

Flour has been quiet as a rule and generally depressed,
though yesterday there was a good business and prices showed
more steadiness. The supply of grades quoted below .$4 is
only moderate, but that of the better descriptions is large.
To-day there was a light business at barely steady prices.

Domestic Woolen Goods.— Aside from men's-wear woolens,
which continued very quiet, there was a slightly improved
business in this department. Flannels and white bed blankets
met with a fair share of attention, and repellents were mor»
active in some quarters. Cloakiugs, tricots and Jersey cloths
were in moderate request, and there was more inquiry for
ladies' soft wool suitings and sackings.
Kentucky jeans were
pretty freely sold by leading jobbers, but the demand at first
hands was comparatively light.
Satinets were mostly quiet,
but fairly steady in price. There was a fair movement in
cassimeres and worsted suitings on account of old orders, but
current transactions were few and unimportant. Worsted
dress goods, such as cassimeres, beiges, &c., were in moderately good demand for the coming season, and a fair business
in carpets was done through the medium of salesmen on tho

The season has been favorable for planting and growth, except that
large districts have liad too much rain and growth has been slow from
low temperature. The cri»p is now Kcnerally healtliy in color and growing rapidly. The average of condition is 96. and has been excei-ded luit
twice in July In ton years— in 1879 and 1880. It was 90 In 1381. 84 in
1882 and 88 In 1SS3. The principal States' averages are Sew Yuik 96,

The conilitioii of spring wheat is up to Ihe norwial standard. 100. the
same as in July of last year. Wisconsin and Minnesota stand at 101

Winter wheat is harvested In the South, and will soon be cut in Its
Borthcrn belt. It sustains the promise of previous repoits; the average
of condition is 94, one point higlier than in Juno and the same as in
the May report.
The winter wheat covers an area of about twenty-seven million
