Our usual telegraphio returns of exchanges for the five daya

directors present statements of the financial condition
of the company on the thirty-first day of May, 1886; also
of the earnings for the first nine months of its operation. It
appears that the net earnings have been sufficient to pay the
interest charges.
It will be observed that the statement of operating expenses
does not include the items of taxes and insurance. The taxes,
under the charter, are two per cent of the gross earnings,
equal for the nine months to |5,741, and the insurance
amounts to about f 500 more. They are omitted, although it is
much better, according to the custom of many railroad companies, to include them in their published statement of operatexpenses. If these items had been included, the statement would show for the first nine months a small deficiency
of f4,434, though this deficiency it is expected will be more
than made good in the month of July.
The company has now completed and in operation 130 miles
of railway, from St. Paul, Minn., to Manly Junction, Iowa,
where it connects with the Central Railway of Iowa. At the
town of Lyle, 109 miles from St. Paul, it also connects with
the Iowa lines of the Illinois Central Railroad Company. With
both of these companies it interchanges traffic. The line from
St. Paul to Lyle (109 miles) was completed and put in operation Oct. 2, 1885, and has since been operated by the company.
The line from Lyle to Manly Junction (20 miles) was comfileted Dec. 1, 1885, and is operated by the Central Railway of
owa, under a lease coupled with a traffic contract for ninetynine years.
The report of the President, Mr. A. B. Stickney, of St. Paul,

The

mg

says
" The Chicago St. Paul & Kansas City Railway Company,
owning a line from Waterloo, in the State of Iowa, to Des
Moines, the capital of the State, a distance of 115 miles, having
entered into a contract to extend its line northwesterly from
Waterloo to a junction with the line now under construction
by this company, and also from-Des Moines southwesterly to
St. Joseph and Kansas City, in the State of Missouri, the
directors have entered into a traffic contract with it similar to
the contract now existing between this company and the
Central Railway of Iowa. It is estimated that the revenue
derived from traffic interchanged with it, taking into consideration the
longer haul,' will be much larger and the business more profitable than the business with either the Central
of Iowa or the lUinois Central.'" The relative positions of the
four companies, namely, the Minnesota & Northwestern Railroad Company, the Illinois Central Railroad Company, the
Central Railway of Iowa, and the Chicago St. Paul & Kansas
City Railway Company, will be more clearly understood if a
map of the Minnesota & Northwestern is hereafter published in
the Investors' Supplement.
" The company has now under construction a line from a
junction with its present line at the town of Hayfield, 81
miles from St. Paul, to Dubuque, Iowa, a distance of 'iTi
miles. The work has so far progressed that the directors are
assured it will be ready for operation by the first of October
next. It will connect St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota,
with Dubu<iue, Iowa, where a connection is made with the
Illinois C+-ntral Railroad for Chicago.
The latter company
has heretofore used the lines of the Chicago Burlington*
Quincy for a portion of the distance, namely from Forreston
to Chicago. This arrangement terminates with the end of
this year, and the comjiany has commenced the construction
of an independent line from the city of Chicago to a junction
with the Illinois Central Railroad, 'near Freeport, 111., a distance of 10!) miles, which it hopes to have ready for operation
bv the first of January, 1887. When these lines are completed, the company will own a continuous line of railway
from St. Paul to (Chicago, 430 miles, except a section between
Dubucjue und Freeport, 68 mUee, owned by the Illinois Central, which it intends to use under an arrangement

President Clement's report is brief. He mentions the decision in the company's suit declaring valid the certificates for
3,970 shares of preferred stock issued to Mr. Clement in December, 1882, and January, 1863; the discontinuance of the
Company vs. Page, and the statement that up to date about
$69,412 of the rent reserved in the lease of the road has been
withheld by the lessees on the ground of the amount of taxes
apportioned by them to the Rutland Company, under the
present statute for taxing the gross earnings of railroads.
The company^ claims that such retention is without right, and
that it is entitled to receive the full amount of rent stipulated
in the contract.

Bxprew

(For the year ending April 80, 1886.)
The annual report states that every effort has been made
during the year just closed to accomplish two results, to wit
" to maintain as nearly as possible our average production of
Quicksilver, while at the same time prospecting in every
direction of promise for new ore bodies. The former of these
results has been substantially reached in regard to the latter,
we can say that in some directions the indications are very
hopeful indeed, but that in most we have not yet reached
objective points at which profitable results are looked for.
These explorations are now being carried vigorously forward.
In this connection it is proper to say that while we have made
explorations covering more than a full square mile in surface,
and nearly half a mile in depth, still we have opened but a
very small portion of the property of your Company which is
supposed to be charged with the ores of quicksilver. We
have produced during the year 20,000 fiasks of Quicksilver.
The price, as we last year hoped it would do, has ruled slowly
but steadily higher, and there is stiU reason to expect a considerably greater advance." The production of the year was
;

20,000 flasks.

understood that at a meeting of the dir^tors of the Richmond ft DanTille road to-day the long and heated diBcussions
regarding the debenture bonds have been concludetTby a resolution to allow the debenture bondholders to exchange their
debenture bonds at 118 for a new general mortgage bond
bearing five per cent interest from April 1, 1886, thus
exchangmg a doubtful six per cent income bond for a fixed intonet general mortgage bearing five per cent interest. The
now mortgage is to be at the rate of $23,500 ner mile on the
property of the Richmond & Danville road. The contest has
bemi in regard to the rate of interest. Many of the directors
betaered tliat the ciroumstanoes attending the issue ot the dehonture bonds jostifiod an exchange of the bonds at a rate not
feeding four per oent, but considerable influence has been
brought to bear by large holders of the debentures, with the
Ksult •tated,-*the ezctiange of bonds must have the consent of
at least two-thirds of the debenture holders on or before
Sept. 1 next. Circulars giving details are to be prepared

The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
has shown leas spirit for the week under review, and a material
d-cline in prices. The adverse reports from the AgricuUural
Bureau and from the National Cotton Exchange regarding the
condition of prospects of the g^wing crop on the 1st of July
were regarded as somewhat exagg:erated, or at least modified
by tha recent brftter weather, and proved to have been wholly
" discounted " in the views of speculative operators. A heavy
selling movement followed, promoted by lees favorable reports
from Liverpool and Manchester.
Under these influences the
advance of last week wss fully lost. Yesterday, in tbe later
dealing*, there was a sharp reaction toward better prices.
To-day the Liverpool report, though stronicer, was disappointing to tite " bulls," and yesterdav'a late advance wai lost; but
there was a partial recovery ana a feverish closing. Cotton
on the sp jt was active for home consumption, with a moderate
export early in the week, but became quieter, with prices
favoring bayers. until yesterday, when at a declme of 1-lGc.
then was a revival of activity for export. To-day the market was steady but quiet at 9^c. for intddliog uplands. Low
gradea ato becoming scarce.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 459,000
bales.
For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week

almost entirely suspended for all practical purposes,
causing the grass to grow luxuriantly and rendering necessary
the abandonment of some lands. In these States— embracing
the Cirolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Misi-sippi the bottom
lands pariicularly have suffered severely, and the fertile black
lands have lost much of the prospect thpy had. Over most of
these States the early spring was cold and a bad start was
made. May conditions were not good, and June bas again
lowered them a little and rendered the outcome more critical.
Still, over this area, embracing as it does so large a percentage of upland, with favoratile conditions in July and subsequently that is, seasonable showers, allowing (arm work in
clearing out grass, and the absence of hot, dry weather to
bake the saturated soil and Bco:ch the plants, which have been
rendered unhealthy by extreme moisture, there is room for
improvement. It is to be noted that the insect ravages usually
accompanying these meteorological conditions have beea
slight, and stwnds, which were not very good to start on, have
not been impaired on that account. Over all this district the
crop IS late, and therefore exposed to the vicissitudes of the
fall season.
In the noithern portion of the belt, however,
Tennessee had a good start, and has held her own pretty
well, and North Carolina is better than the coast disirict below
her.
Going west of the Missi>sippi the situation is levtrsed.

with the exception of several thunder storms, which did considerable
damage to^iorn, fruit trees and houses, nothing has occurred to mar the
prospects of a full average yield. Cotton has suffered no backsets, and
the prospect for a good crop is exceellent throughout the county.

the reverse. Crops are looking flue, although but little work could be
done en account of the wet weather. Missing cotton came up on the
advent of rain, and the stand is now good and the plant growing finely.
Belena, Ark.— The amount of rain falling on my g.auge has been much

Reports have been received from 190 correspondents throughout the State as to the condition of the crops on July 1, and
they show that in the last month the rain has been almost
unprecedented, producing a vigorous growth of grass, and the
continuous downpour of water has prevented the crops from
being worked. A large part of the cotton planted in bottom
lands has been washed away by the floods. RuBt, shedding
and lice have attacked the cotton in some regions, and in
others the incessant rain has turned it yellow, and it is dying.
The condition of the cotton in upper Carolina, with 100 as an
average, is reported at 73, in Middle Carolina at 76 and lower
Carolina at 85, making an average for the State of 78, against

Indian corn has been somewhat irreRular. An urgent desharp advance for prime grades on the spot
and for July, but it was not maintained. Prospects for the next
crop continue favorable, but the supply of sound quality from
the present crop for delivery in the summer and autumn
months is probably not large, and gives much strength to
September and October options. To-day prime mixed, arriving from the Erie Canal, had a quick sale at 47s^@48c.

Domestic Woolkn Goods. Agents have experinnced a fair
supplementary demand for heavy clothing woolens, and there
was a good steady movement in some descriptions on account
of former traosactions. Stocks of heavy woolens are, for the
most V*^< i" ^ry good shape, and all desirable makes are
firmly held at current quotations. Light weight men's-wear
woolens (for next spriog) are in a forward state of preparation
at tb« mills, and some orders for worsted coatings, &c., have
already be«n aecured by agents; but such cases are ex< eptional.
Satinets ruled quiet, but there was a fair business in Kentucky
jeans and dotskias at firm prices. Soft wool dress goods,
tricots, ladies olotba, &o., were in good demand, and there
was a steady btiaincaa in all-wool cashmeres, sergce. diagonals
and worsted dreaa goods. Cloakinga and Jersey cloths con.
tinued in fair request, and there was a fairly active movement
in thawls and wool skirts. Flannels and blankets were in
steady demand, and prices remain firm all along the line.
Carpets continued to move in fair quantities, and prices are
