A circumstance o f interest has been the advent of some
o f the Seney people this week into the directory o f the
Toledo Cincinnati & St. Louis.
This road is a compara
tively new concern, but during its short existence o f three
years has had quite a varied and checkered experience. It
has seen frequent changes o f management, and the money
so necessary to a new enterprise has not always been
forthcom ing. It has only recently made an urgent appeal
to some of its delinquent subscribers to respond more
promptly to the calls upon them, and it is understood that
the Seney. people will render material financial assistance,
though as the road has recently been completed to St.
Louis, and is now running trains into that city, it has
probably passed the most serious crisis in its career. It is
not known what end the new direction has in view
with the
road. Being a narrow guage,
it has
not so many_ supporters as it otherwise would have,
but
by reason of- its location in an important
section o f the country, it is possible that its gauge will not
prevent its successful operation, and certainly it can, if it
chooses, cause some annoyance to existing lines. In this
latter particular, it is supposed that the W abash has as
much to fear as any road, for the new line parallels the
W abash from Toledo to St. Louis— indeed, in conjunction
with the Texas & St. Louis and the Cairo & St. Louis, it
will form a competing system to the Gould lines all the
w ay down into Texas. But we may be sure that certain
other roads will not escape the effects o f its competition.

Railroad earnings have as yet suffered no interruption
in the progress so steadily making towards larger totals..
The June figures indicate a very general and quite satis
factory growth in pretty nearly all sections o f the country
— some roads, indeed, recording quite heavy gains; b u t
tUe improvement loses some o f' its significance when w o
remember that June last year was not as a rule a favorable
month for railroad traffic, the small crops o f the preceding:
season and a general quietude in trade having operated to
diminish railroad tonnage, so that our table for the first
time in three years showed a decrease as compared with

the year before. Still, the gain this year is pretty large
almost two million dollars, equivalent to about 8 per cent—
and though there are some roads that exhibit a decrease
this June in addition to the decrease o f last June, the
statement must be denominated satisfactory, considering
that there were no special favoring influences and that
general business remains quiet and small. The follow ing

Northwestern’s loss o f mineral traffic from the northern
peninsula o f Michigan, we may refer in this connection to
the exhibit made b y the Marquette H oughton & Onton
agon— a small road, but almost entirely dependent for its
prosperity upon the ore shipments from the Michigan
mines. This road reports earnings o f only $104,936 last
month, against $185,780 in 1882, a loss o f over 40 per
cent. The earnings are smaller even than in June, 1881,
when the total was $139,688. W h ile the St. Paul, the
Northwest, the Omaha, all have larger earnings than in
1882, the St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba, on the other
hand, shows a decrease. The decrease is not as large as
in May, being $92,000, but the explanation is the same as
then. The road enjoyed last year an exceptionally
active business, by reason o f the free im migration
into Minnesota and Manitoba, and other favoring causes;
now the im migration movement has fallen off, and
receipts are beginning to fe e ! the effect. W e would again
remark, however, that the present earnings, notwithstand
ing the decrease in them, are yet very satisfactory, for
though there is a diminution of $92,000 compared with
June, 1882, when compared with June of the year before
there is a gain of no less than $359,000. A m on g other
Northwestern roads, the St. Paul & Duluth makes a very
good showing. Its earnings of $125,517 this year com
pare with earnings of $89,605 in 1882 and $74,159 in
1881. During these two years mileage has increased only
25 miles. The Burlington Cedar Rapids & Northern has
a small gain, follow ing a similar gain the previous year.
The Central Iowa records a decrease o f $7,000, but this
is on a gain last year o f pretty nearly $11,000. It will be
interesting here to note the effect of the grain movement
this year upon railroad earnings. The follow ing table

Northwestern roads again lead in point o f increase, but
Southwestern roads also make exceptionally good exhibits.
The Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul continues to report par
ticularly large gains, and fo r the reason given b y us in
previous reviews. The Northwestern, also, has a gain of
fully $132,000, but this gain does not wipe out the loss o f
$263,000 recorded in Jpne, 1882, so that the present
June’s earnings are $131,000 behind those o f June two
years ago. The St. Paul’s decrease o f a year ago was
only $110,000, while the present increase is over $403,000.
The St. Paul & Omaha, another road in the same section,
makes a gain this year of $54,000. Its loss in June, 1882,
was about $30,000. A s bearing upon the Chicago &
[V o l XXXVII.
This table shows that while the grain movement was
larger than in June, 1882, almost the whole of the gain
was at what may be termed the two Northwestern points
__ namely, Chicago and Milwaukee. It is not surprising,
therefore, that the grain carriers o f the Northwest a f
fected by this movement report larger earnings than in
1882. A t the, same time it must not be supposed that the
grain receipts at Chicago and Milwaukee, though heavier
than in 1882, were really large. The gain this year is on
a total last year which was reduced to very small figures.
Take wheat, for instance, in which there is now apparently
a very large increase at Chicago, since this year’s aggregate
of 892 147 bushels compares with only 340,805 bushels in
J o ly
14, 1883.]
THE (CHRONICLE,
1882; going back to 1881, however, we find that the receipts
then were no less than 2,284,615 bushels. So with corn.
This year’s aggregate o f 6,648,0^0 bushels exhibits a de
cided improvement on the 3,696,361 bushels o f 1882, but a
hardly less decided retrogression on the 10,577,221 bushels
o f 1881. A t Milwaukee the wheat receipts o f this June
(954,997 bushels) compare with only 506,212 bushels in
1382, but with 1,560,735 bushels in 1881. These figures
explain why the earnings o f a leading grain-carrying road
like the Northwest, though showing a larger total than
a year ago, fail to make as good an exhibit as in 1881, this
loss being in addition to'th e loss o f mineral traffic already
referred to.
Francisco does not make so good an exhibit, the increase
this year just about balancing the loss in 1882, but further
down— in Texas— the G ulf Colorado & Santa F e shows
great progress, as indeed all Southern roads may be said
to show this time. These gains on the Southwestern roads
reflect the rapid development of that section and betoken
an active general business, for the. cotton movement was
quite small in June. The follow ing will show the receipts
o f cotton at all the principal Southern outports during the
month this year and last.
RECEIPTS OF COTTON AT SOUTHERN PORTS IN JUNE, 1883 AND 1882
One other fact about these grain figures is worthy of
Galveston............. .bales
remark, viz., that while Chicago and Milwaukee make
Indianola, & c................
very decided ga irs on the very low totals *of 1882, the
other points given in the table make scarcely any. Some
indeed touch a still low er aggregate. The wheat receipts
at St. Louis, for example, amount to no more than 356,979 bushels, against 486,412 bushels in 1882 and 894,686
in 1881. The corn receipts o f 1,158,320 bushels at the
same point, though 300,000 bushels greater than in 1882,
are
than half those o f 1881, when the total was
2,651,025 bushels. W ith smaller receipts at this point,
we may suppose that the shipments east were also
smaller, so that the decrease o f $13;533 this vear in the
main line earnings o f the St. Louis A lton & Terre Haute,
after a decrease o f $22,913 last year, is very likely attributable in great part to that cause. It is to be remarked
that this road has a partial offset to the loss on the main
line in the increased earnings of its branches, w h ich.it
w ill be noticed show a small gain. Toledo is another
point where the grain receipts fall much behind
1881, the total o f wheat and corn being no more
than 1,196,081 bushels this year, against 2,223,354 two
years ago. This, taken in conjunction with other draw
backs, such as rain and floods, no doubt accounts fo r the
fact that the W abash’s earnings are not only $1,265 below
1882, but $182,000 below 1881. The Peoria Decatur &
Evansville’s earnings, too, can not be expected to improve
so long as the grain receipts at Peoria remain as small
as at present.
The roads that connect Chicago with
Kansas City, St. Louis, and with the Southwest and the
South, make as a rule v ery good exhibits this month,
though pretty nearly all suffered a decrease in 1882, and
are therefore merely regaining in whole or in part what
they lost then. Such roads are the Chicago & A lton, the

Taking the movement as a whole, it will be observed
there is a small gain over a year ago ; but the aggregate
is more than one-third less than in 1881, when the
receipts were 95,776 bales. Most o f the decrease between
1881 and 1883 is at N ew Orleans, where the 22,353 bales
this year compare with 45,772 bales in 1881. N orfolk
also loses heavily as compared with 1881— its receipts in
the latter year having been 17,486 bales, and being this
year 9,945 bales— but the effects o f this falling off are
not apparent in the earnings o f the roads running to that
port. There is the Chesapeake & Ohio, which makes a
handsome continuous increase, and there are the N orfolk
& W estern and the East Tennessee with moderate gains,
both o f which showed a similar result last year. The
Mobile & Ohio is about the only Southern road in our list
that reports a decrease o f any consequence, and we note
quite a large falling off in the cotton receipts this year at
Mobile, after only a small falling off in 1882. The M obile
& Montgomery division o f the Louisville & N ashville'
suffered more than the M obile & Ohio from this decline
in the cotton receipts, having carried scarcely any cotton
this June against over 1,800 bales in June, 1882 ; but the
Louisville & Nashville is enabled to report a large increase
.in earnings notwithstanding.
The Pacific roads make, perhaps, the least favorable
Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the Hannibal & St. Joseph,
exhibit o f any in our list. The Canadian Pacific, on a
and the Illinois Central.
The latter road, however,
largely increased mileage and a new and fertile territory,
recovers only a small portion o f its last year’s loss (on the
does well enough, but the Northern Pacific has a com main line), for the gain now is no more than $30,000,
paratively small increase in earnings on mileage enlarged,
while the loss was $125,000.
almost one-third, though it goes without saying that
Southwestern roads, almost without exception, make
the new mileage does not contribute much to the
^excellent exhibits, and so do Southern roads. The Gould
company’s business at present. The Central Pacific, on a
Southwestern system appears to have been especially
slightly smaller mileage than a year ago (having relin~

French Government has decided to act, and the world Shanarhai___
must abide the issue of events.
It would now appear, however, that France has been
much more combative than was generally imagined.
The announcement o f Mr. Gladstone on W ednesday o f
the doings o f the French in Madagascar fell upon the
House of Commons as a very great surprise. It seems a
more uncalled-for insult has scarcely ever been offered
b y one nation to another. The death o f the British Con
sul in the peculiar and painful circumstances, the arrest
o f his secretary in the sick and dying man’s presence, the
stopping o f all communications between the British war
ship Dryad and the shore, make up a case which France
will find it peculiarly hard to explain, and which the
British people will be exceedingly slow to forgive. W h at
adds to the gravity o f the situation is that, although Great
Britain was the principal sufferer, hostility was not shown
towards her alone. The flags o f all the foreign consuls,
according to Mr. Gladstone’s statement, were hauled
down. In ordinary circumstances, we should be disposed
to view such conduct in connection, not with the nation at
all, but in connection with the blundering official alone.
But in this case it appears difficult to take such a view.
The Madagascar situation is not new. It is not a case in
which France was suddenly and unexpectedly called upon
to act. Adm iral Pierre is a trusted commander in the
confidence of his governm ent; and he was sent to Madagasiar to attend to the so-called interests of France,
after the M alagasy envoys had made the tour of the
European Courts, and had stated their case even at W ash
ington. It almost seems, therefore, as if he had not
exceeded his instructions. Still, a way out o f the difficulty
w ill doubtless be found, though the act was peculiarly
inexcusable and possibly premeditated.
In this connection it is encouraging to learn that France
and England have come to an understanding regarding
the Suez Canal. O f course, in this case M. de Lesseps is
France; but the arrangement seems to be specially grati
fy in g to the French people as a whole. M. de Lesseps
has made satisfactory concessions to England, and England
lends the company $40,000,000, redeemable in fifty years.
A new canal is to be cut alongside o f the present one,
English influence being promised to obtain a fresh conces
sion of land, with an extension o f the original concession
fo r ninety-nine years. It is reasonable to take it for
granted that this arrangement was arrived at before i

Saturday, June 30, 1883.
Notwithstanding this is the closing week of the half-year, ancfc
“ settlement” has been in progress on the Stock Exchange, the
demand for loans and for discount aecommodatio'n has been
upon the most moderate scale, and the position of affairs leadsto a very general conclusion that, in the course of a few days,
the money market will assume a very easy appearance. The
dividends on the public funds will be shortly distributed, th u »
adding considerably to the supply of floating capital, and in
the absence of any revival in the demand it is tolerably certain
that the rates will decline. The period of anxiety through
which the community has recently passed has obviously exer
cised its natural effect. From nearly every industrial centre
the complaint arrives that business is being conducted on th e
most economical principles, and with the greatest caution; and
the money market is now feeling the effects of this enforcect
restriction.
At this period of the year, it is not usual for business toundergo any new process of development. We have received
the bulk of our supplies of raw materials, and to a consider
able extent.
Merchants and manufacturers are waiting to
obtain definite information as regards the approaching crops,
both of manufacturing materials and of cereals and other
food. At the present time the prospect is satisfactory. Should
the month of July be true to its traditions, the crops, which,
have been greatly benefitted by the rains that have fallen
during June, will make rapid progress towards maturity, and
a fair average yield of agricultural produce is anticipated. In
fact, unless the weather should become unpropitious, farmer»
will have a better season than for some years past, but there
is naturally no little anxiety, as the weather is just now some
what unsettled, while the experiences of the last few summer»
suggest the possibility that it may become once more as fickle
as has been the case in seasons past. The rains which hav efallen this month have, however, been scarcely indicative o f
protracted unsettled weather. Storms and showers have been
traveling over the country and have been followed by summer'
sunshine. The result has been more than usually beneficial, a»
the crops two months ago were very backward, while there i»
now no reason for believing that the harvest will be late.
But even with this good prospect, and with an easy condition
of the money market, there is no spirit in business; nor doe»
there seem to be the prospect of any immediate revival. The
disposition on the part of the community is to continue th e
policy of operating to comply with necessitous requirements,
and probably there will not be any very great change—not,
perhaps, as much as is expected—even when the autumn trade
assumes its largest proportions. Hence the past week has been.
THE CHRONICLE,

much like its predecessors, conspicuous for inactivity in every
branch of business. The Stock Exchange has been unusually
quiet, the transactions having been even more restricted than
for many weeks past. The principal movements were in
Egyptian stocks, the value of which has declined 5 to 6 per
•cent, owing to the outbreak of cholera at Damietta and to a
lesser extent in other towns. Turkish (especially the Egyptian
tribute) loans, have been also weak; but there has been a some
what improved feeling during the last few days. There is
naturally much anxiety with regard to the position of affairs
in Egypt; but last night the Government, in reply to a question,
stated that every precaution had been taken to prevent the
disease spreading, and that every medical appliance was at
hand which is relied upon to stamp it out.
Under the
best of
circumstances, the outbreak is a drawback,
to Egypt, as many who aid the most in bringing trade and
prosperity to the country have left, and will be loath to return
for an indefinite' time. The season in Egypt, and, indeed,
throughout Europe, is one of the hottest known for some years
past, and the difficulties of checking the spread of such a
disease as cholera are considerably augmented; but more
numerous means are known for the proper treatment of the
disease, and the Government holds out the hope that it will be
localized.
The Bank of England return is satisfactory—more so, in
fact, than had been anticipated. It was thought that the close
of the half-year would have the effect of raising the total of
* other securities;” but there is a decrease, which has occa
sioned some surprise. Since the Bank return was published,
the demand for loans to augment the half-yearly balances of
the banks and of private individ&als may have, and no doubt
has, increased; but this is only a temporary matter, and the
extent of it may never be made public, as the loans may be
paid off during the first three days o f next week. The supply
o f bullion has been augmented to the extent of £345,561, but,
as usual during the closing days of the half-year, there has
been an increase in the note circulation, viz., of £377,920.
The reserve of the banking department shows, therefore, only
the trifling increase of £32,359; but as there is a falling off in
the liabilities of the establishment, the proportion of reserve
to liabilities has slighty increased—viz., from 40 99 per cent
to 41’30 per cent.
As the week has advanced the discount market has become
increasingly easy, and the demand for loans has been very
moderate, notwithstanding the “ settlement” on the Stock Ex
change and the approaching close of the half-year. For short
loans only 3/é per cent has been charged, and the following are
the quotations for money and the interest allowed by the dis
count houses to-day and samé day o f the previous five weeks:

There has been less stringency in the Indian money markets,
and the Bank of Bengal has reduced its rate of discount from
8 to 7 per cent.
The-value of wheat during the past week has scarcely
altered. Supplies are abundant, but the shipments from St.
Petersburg have fallen off.- The accumulation of supplies in
London has induced Russian merchants to pursue that judicious
course. The crops in Russia are very favorably spoken of.
The feature in the trade in this country is that, although
millers are operating with great caution, there is no pressure
shown to sell, and consequently prices are maintained. In
France, it is said, the crop of wheat will be deficient. Feeding
barley and Indian corn are quoted at rather lower prices.
The following statement shows the extent of the imports of
cereal produce into the United Kingdom during the first fortythree weeks of the present season, compared with the corres

great success. It has alreadybeen visited oy many thousands
of people and its exhibits are still objects of very great inter. est. But its greatest success has been the attention which has
been drawn to our fish supplies, and the partial, if not permanent,
extinction of a great monopoly. The dearness of meat, as well
as of fish, has brought about an agitation for more commo
dious markets, and for greater facilities for buying food in the
large centres of consumption at as low a charge as is practic
able. For a great number -of years London, with its vast and
increasing population, has been supplied by one market, and
the efforts which have been made to provide additional accom
modation has until very lately proved unsuccessful. Fortunes
have been made in the fish trade, and hitherto the clique con
trolling it have been able to master all opposition. Recently
several new fish markets have been ejected, and are being satis
factorily conducted. The supplies offering in them have been
considerable, and the result is that the public are procuring
food at a greatly reduced cost. Turbot, which was regarded as
its reasonable value at Is. per pound has been selling retail of
late at 6d. per pound, salmon is only Is. per pound, and cod 4d.
In fact a cheap meal can now be made off fish and the boon to
the community cannot be overestimated. Meat, however, is not
lower in price, but the consumption has been much cur
tailed, and if there is no probability of meat falling in
price, yet it. is quite certain that the upward move
ment which manifested itself a few months ago has been,
checked, and there i3 still a hope that by greater economies
and with favorable seasons our flocks and herds wid increase in
size. This will be a very desirable result to attain, as the pros
pect as regards our meat supplies has for some time past been
full of anxiety.
Messrs, J. S. Morgan & Co. invite subscriptions to an issue of

The Money M arket and F in a n c ia l S itu ation .— The gen
eral commercial situation has not changed much in the last
[VOL. X X X V II.
of specie by the Bank of England, however, the reserve in the
banking department has increased to 42 5-16 per cent of the
liabilities, as compared with 35 3-16 per cent last week.
Exchange.— The sterling exchange market has been very dull
during the week, and the tendency of rates has been downward.
The mercantile demand has been light compared to the volum e
of imports of goods. In view of the expectation of increased
exports there have been more sixty-day bills on the market,
and the posted rates were reduced on Wednesday from 4 85%
and 4 89 to to 4 85 and 4 88% . On Thursday also the rates for
all Continental bills were reduced. On Friday the actual rates
for sterling were as follows, viz.: Sixty days 4 84@4 84% , de

in its construction by a loan of United States bonds, is $792,920.

“ The receipts of the Land Department on account of trust
lands, for the past year, from cash payments on lands sold,
leased, etc., amounted to $738,726. This amount has been
placed in charge of the trustees of the land grant mortgage,
who have redeemed during the year with the funds in their
possession 711 bonds, of the par value of $1,000 each, thus
reducing the debt of the company $711,000, and the annual
interest charge $42,660. The trustees report on Dec. 31,1882,
available funds for the further redemption of bonds to the
amount of $584,770.”
By reference to the table below, showing earnings and
expenses of the various lines leased by this company, it will be
seen “ that the extension of the Galveston Harrisburg & San
Antonio Railway eastward frbm El Paso, Texas, was operated
during the year at a loss to this company of $320,507. This
road was operated under a provisional lease during the process
of construction, and upon the connection of this portion of the
road with the remainder of the Galveston Harrisburg & San
Antonio Railway system, oh February 1,1883, the lease was
canceled. The \opening of this new route to Galveston and
New Orleans, it is anticipated, will add to the earnings of the
lines leased by this company, without impairing the earnings
of the lines owned, the increase being largely new business
from new territories. In the month of May, 1883, a junction
was made at Ogden, Utah, with the Denver & Rio Grande Rail
way, thus making a new and important connection, and bring
ing new business to the road owned by this company.”
The report thus speaks of the competition of new lines of
railroad r

v
“ The apprehension which seems to have been felt by some
stockholders that the completion o f other trans-continental lines
may in time seriously affect the earnings of the lines owned by
this company, does not appear to your directors to be well
founded. The permanent strength possessed by this com
pany’s lines from their local resources, without the additional
strength which they receive from their position as through
lines across the continent, is shown by the large Droportion of

fairly active for the week under review, and the fluctuations
in prices have been much wider than for some time past. _Cii
Saturday a weak opening was followed by a firmer closing,
which on Monday developed into a considerable movement for
the rise, and the best prices showed an advance of lb@2/5
points from the lowest figures of Saturday. The improvement
was caused by the reports of too much wet weather, and byrumors of the rapid growth of weeds and grass in certain States.
Monday closed with the loss of part of the early advance, an
Tuesday closed lower under the influence of the Bureau
report, the tenor of which'had somehow transpired, although
the document itself was not published until Wednesday, when
it contributed to a further decline. Thursday was buoyant,
on a demand to cover contracts, promoted by the opinion that
the influences operating to depress prices had been
Y
fully “ discounted.” B ut to-day there was a fresh decline
under weak Manchester advices and the possibility of diplo
matic troubles between France and Great Britain. The close,
as compared with last Friday, shows but slight changes, ex - .
cept in the decline of a few points for July and August.
Cotton on the spot has been more active for home consump
tion, with a small business for export. Quotations were re
duced Up. on Saturday, advanced l-16c. on Monday, reduced

A comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate
as the weeks in different years do not end on the same day of
the month. We have consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader may
constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the years named. The movement each month
since September 1,1882, has been as follows.

bales, and an increase in shipments of 5,000 bales, and the
shipments since January 1 show a decrease of 82,000 bales.

Flour is in fair demand for export, but only the lower grades
are wanted. These are in only fair supply and are compara
tively steady. The higher grades sell very slowly, and, thoughholders are reluctant to make further concessions, some sales
during the week have been reported at low prices. The foresga
demand is mainly from the West Indies and South Ameriea,
the European markets being in an unfavorable state. To-daj
the market here was quiet as a rule, and most grades were to
a great~extent nominal in value.
. ^ ’i
Wheat has sold but moderately for export, especially oa
British orders, that market being reported as well supplied,
while the Continental markets, thohgh in a more favorable
position, are not purchasing at all largely. Spring wheat has
sold more freely, and No. 2 has brought $1 08. Small lots of
new wheat have arrived, but no very important receipts are ex
pected before the 1st proximo. The speculation has beea
fairly active, but the fluctuations, though frequent, have aofc
been very marked; to-day the quotations are a fraction above

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
F r i d a y , P. M., J u ly 13, 1883.
The past week has developed a moderately increased move
ment in both domestic and foreign dry goods from first hands,
and the jobbing trade—though quiet—was fu lly up to the
average of former years at a like period. The bulk of the
business transacted by agents representing domestic manufac
turers was in goods adapted to the coming season, but there
was also a fair demand for certain summer fabrics, indicative
of very light stocks in the hands o f distributers.
Foreign
goods ruled quiet as regards new business, but importers con
tinued to make liberal deliveries of
certain fabrics (upon
which the duty has been changed by the new tariff) in execu
tion of former orders. The event of the week was a peremp
