There has meanwhile been an
increase in the importations, but even if we allow 250,000
net tons for this (the Bureau of Statistics has not yet
issued the figures for the full half year), a falling off of
nearly 100.000 tons remains. Some persons may prefer
to compare the production of the first half of 1887 with
the first half of 1886, showing an addition of 463,694.

Still it seems almost impossible to galvanize
the market into life, and, what is more important, in¬

The division (between cold and silver) given in our table of coin and
bullion in the llank of Germany a id the Bank of Belgium is made from
the best estimate we are, able to o .tain; in neither case is it claimed to be

accurate, as those banks make no distinction in their weekly report,
merely reporting the total gold and silver; but we believe the division
we make is a close approximation.
Note.—We receive the above results weekly by cable, and while

small, doing but little business, and yet where there
are banks there are
deposits, and where there are deposits
there are checks actively at work filling tho office and

affording the facilities for which, if they did not exist,,
other currency would have to be provided.
A moments consideration is at this point important,
respecting the feature that checks can be made of any
amount and at the very hour needed.
Wo have already
said that that power enables them to be peculiarly effective
as instruments of
exchange, and if currency was required
to fill their place, that is do their work, many times the
amount of the ordinary exchanges would have to be kept
in circulation to have the required aggregate ready at
every place where a wTaut may arise.
Even though a
town or city may not have use for twenty live thousand
dollars in one item more than once a week throughout the
year, yet that amount of currency would have to* lie
there, though the ordinary wants did not call for over
half or perhaps a quarter of that amount.
Consequently
in making use of a per capita comparison to test the cur¬
rency needs of a country wo must not only include ail

Some seem to think that they are no substitute for the
ordinary forms of currency, while many claim that we
assigned them a far too important place. The subject is
an interesting one on many accounts, and a fuller develop,
ment than we were able to give it a week ago, will be of
advantage.
It is hardly worth while to spend much time proving
that checks perform the functions of currency ; that when
they have an actual deposit back of them there is no better
or safer vehicle for the
interchange or transfer of property. estimate of the total of the checks issued, but increase

interest, and this week the
figures for the month of June have b8en made up,
enabling us to aggregate the results for the half year.
We have given the totals from month to month, but of
course the results for the half year possess increased
value.

the comparison may be supposed to be influenced only
slightly by circumstances of a temporary or transient

For June circumstances invest the results with

special importance,

The

collapse of the wheat corner in Chicago tended to
receipts here unusually large during the latter
part of June, and even while the corner was .in progress
the tendency was somewhat in the same direction, for the
energies of the parties manipulating it were bent to keep
of Chicago as possible, and thus no
as much wheat out
doubt some of the supplies found their way to New York.
It is not surprising therefore to-find that the total of the
grain receipts of all kinds during the month reached
1,683,002 bushel^ more than in the same month last year,
and that the whole of this increase, and more, is found in
the item of wheat, the deliveries of which aggregated
6,785,260 bushels, against only 4,932,212 bushels last year.
The flour receipts fell off, the equivalent of only 1,755,540
bushelshaving been received, against2,280,955 bushels. At
the other Atlantic ports—Boston, Philadelphia and Balti¬
more—not only the wheat receipts, but the flour receipts
also, increased; but, on the other hand, there was a heavy
contraction in oats and corn, leaving the total grain move¬
ment at the three ports almost precisely the same as in
June, 1886, while at New York corn and oats show gains,
as do most of the minor cereals also.
It is significant of
the prominent part , layed by the wheat shipments in the
total, that out of 14,140,784 bushels altogether received
at New York, 8,540,800 bushels should have been com¬
posed of flour and wheat. But let us see how much of
this total of fourteen million bushels was contributed by
the canal and each of the five trunk lines,

West Shore on the other hand increased its total from

against 11-62 per cent or

3.115,819 bushels to 5,590,943 bushels, and its ratio from
5-93 per cent to 10 37 per cent.
The inference from these
results is, that the West Saore is greatly strengthened by
its alliance with the New York Central, while on the
other hand the Lickawamia in an even competition with
the other lines can not do as w’ell as in a period of unset-

general demoralization. It is noteworthy,
too, that while the West Snore has gained so largely, the
Central itself has lost but slightly, its proportion standing
at 23-37 per cent in 1887 and 24 97
per cent in 1886.
With regard to the various roads, the Lehigh Valley having continued very active, these have increased their ratio
from 6-04 per cent to S-43 per cent.
Extending the companson further back to some of the earlier year3, we find
that the Pennsylvania has suffered a considerable reduc¬

The changes in the Bank of England return are what
are usually looked for at this time of the
year, when payments
are heavy.
An increase of £580,150 in note circulation and a
decrease of £746,697 in bullion have diminished the* reserve by

has been exceptionally
placed. It lias of course participated pari passu with other
companies in the bona fide development of trade and the
increased demand for Stock Exchange loans, but it must be
remembered that it also made a handsome profit out of the
transformation of Samuel Allsopp & Co. into a
public com¬
pany. .The Alliance, which does a good Stock Exchange busi¬
ness, has also done well, paying % per cent more than last
year, and the London Joint Stock shows a similar increase.
Whilst the results so far disclosed are fairly good, it is clear
that profits must have been cut very fine.
The competition
for bills has, we know, been very keen, but then
during the
earlier months of the year full rates were
charged for Stock
Exchange loans. The statistics of the Bankers’ Clearing House
show that a much larger amount was turned over
during the
six months just concluded than was the case in
1880, but
apparently profits did not increase in proportion, or the balance
sheets of the joint stock banks would have come out better
than they have done. Shortly we shall be able to judge of the
results of the half-year's working on the
leading English rail¬
ways.
It is significant that the course of speculation in these
securities just now is of a “ bearish ” character, from which it
may be inferred that the dividend prospect is not regarded at

Wheat has remained

weak, the advantage continuing with
buyers. The slight hardening at New York, the reduction of
some four million bushels in the American visible supply and
the contraction in the quantity of wheat and flour on passage
have failed to steady the trade, which is now solely regulated
by the weather. Whilst the tone is weak, there is no apparent
reason why much depreciation in values should occur prior to
the receipt of the new crop.
Compared with a year ago the
supply of wheat in London has decreased nearly 200,000 qrs.,
and the stock of flour is 17,000 sacks less, and this notwith¬
standing that the imports of wheat and flour during the season
have exceeded those for 1885-86 by 4,200,000 cwts. It may
however be presumed that the stocks of home-grown wheat in
farmers’ hands now are materially in excess of what they
were a year ago, considering that the sales so far in the
leading
markets have been some 600,000 qrs. less than that season.

States.—The bulletin

the United

Iron and Steel

Association says:
The American Iron and Steel Association has received from
the manufacturers complete statistics of tbe production of pig
iron in the United States in the first six months of the present

also complete statistics of the stocks of unsold pig iron
of manufacturers or their agents on the 30th day
of June Inst. These statistics are not only complete, but they
are accurate.
The total production of pig iron in the United
States in the first six months of 1887 amounted to 3,051,699
gross tons of 2.240 pounds.
Our produciion in the last six
year;

in the hands

months of 1886 was 3,045,612 gross tons.

production of pig iron in the first six months of 1887
been much greater than it was if a
general strike had not taken place in the Connellsville coke
district on May 7. The reduction in the make of bituminous
pig iron was almost exactly balanced by the increase in the
make of mixed anthracite and cose pig iron, and the slightly
increased production of anthracite pig iron alone, indicating
the substitution in the first six months of 1887 of anthracite
for coke in the production of about 115,000 net tons of pig iron.
The production of Bessemer pig iron for the first half of
1887 was 1,445,674 net tons, or about 42 per cent of our total
production of pig iron. Eleven States made Bessemer pig
iron.
Of these three are classed as Southern States, namely,
Maryland, West Virginia and Tennessee. Their uuited pro¬
duction was 44,184 tons, the most of which was produced by
West Virginia for use iu the manufacture of steel mils.
Contrary to the general expectation, the production of pig
iron in tbe Southern States during the first six months of 1887
did not advance, but v as a little less than in the last six
months of 1886. The figures are as follows:

explanation of the failure of the South to make as much
progress in the manufacture of pig iron in the first half of
1887 as has been expected of her is twofold.
First, several of
her furnaces have been handicapped by a lack of coke.
Second, none of the new furnaces in the South which were
under contract last winter or la^t spring have yet been com¬
pleted. Most of th 86 new furnaces will not be ready to go
into operation until the latter part of this year or the early
part of next y ear.
The stocks'of pig iron which were unsold in the hands of
manufactuiers or ilieir agents on the 30th of June last, and
which were not intended tor the consumption of the manufac¬
turers, amounted to 264,717 net tons, against 252,704 net tons
on the 31st of December last.
The general impression has
been that stocks were greatly reduced at the close of June,
but the figures show that they were as large then as at the
beginning of the y-ar. The aggregate was, however, very
small compared with the immense consumption of pig iron
that is now in progress in this country.
The production of B ssenvr steel ingots in the first half of
1887 amounted to 1,637,572 i.et tons, agaimt 1,467,830 tons in
the last half of 1886, and 1,073,663 tons in the fir-t half of
1886. Inclu ed in >he pro oction of the first half of 1887 were
31,043 net tons of Ciapp-Griffiths ingots, against 21,561 torts in
the last half of 1886, and 24 810 tors in the first hi If of 1886.
The prod« etion ot Bessemer steel rails in the first half of
1887 amounted to 1,030,530 gross tons, indicaiing a total pro¬
duction of 2,100,000 gross tons for the whole year.
It cannot
materially exceed tue.'e figures. The production of lb86 was
1,574,703 gross tuns, including steel rai s roilel in iron rolling

The production of open-hearth steel ingots
of 1887 amounted to 174,400 net ton12, against 152,710
the second half of 1886, and 93,540 tons in the first

it is safe to outline a part of a moat important
plan that Mr. Inman and his fellow capitalists are proposing
to carry out, as it is learned from high authority.
Ten of the
largest and strongest holders of the Tennessee Coal & Iron

for voting purposes, and to take sd much of the srock out of
Wall Street entirely. These 10 holders own considerably more

CHRONICLE,

Lehigh Navigation—Central of New Jersey.—The Phila¬
delphia Ledger, referring to the L. & N. lease to the Central
of N. J. R-itlroad in 1871, as modified by the agreement with
Reading in 1883, says :
“This agreement guaranteed to. the Lehigh Navigation
Company a minimum annual rental for its railroads of $1,414.400, and gave it other substantial advantages which it did not
enjoy under the original lease of 1871. In view of the ap¬
proaching rupture of the tripirtite agreement, it became nec¬
essary to decide whether the Lehigh Navigation Company’s
railroads reverted to their owner, or whether, if the New
Jersey Central resumed possession, it should do so under the
original lease of 1871, or whether it would assume the obliga¬
tions to cue Lehigh Navigation Company which had been
assumed by the Reading Company under the
agreement of
1883. After several months of negotiation the Lehigh Navi¬
gation Company and the New Jersey Central have ex c.uted
an agreement which establishes the relations between the two
companies, providing chat wherever the agreement of 1871
and 1883 differ in th^ir terms, the latter agreement shall be the
governing one. This agreement fixes as before the minimum
annual rental of the Lehigh &
Susquehanna Railroad at
$1,414,400, provides that the New Jersey Central shall
cause
the anthracite lands controlled
by it to be devel¬
oped so that they shall continue to produce about as
large a percentage of the total annual output of anthrac te as
they do now, and have done in the last few years ; and that
their product shall be sent to market over the
Lehigh & Sus¬
quehanna Railroad ; and, further, that not more than onequarter of the anthracite product of lands owned or con¬
trolled by the Lehigh Navigation
Company shall be sent to
market over railroads other than the
Lehigh & Susquehanna.
These provisions insure a very large and
increasing coal busi¬
ness to the Leh'gh &
Susquehanna Railroad, and make it easy
for the New Jersey Central to earn the
stipulated rental.
The New Jersey Central further agrees, to lease the railroad
now being built
connecting the Lehigh & Susquehanna Rail¬
road with the city of Scranton, and to
pay therefor an annual
rental of 6 per cent on the cost of the railroad free of ail
taxes.
At the time of the original lease, in 1871, the New
Jersey Central purchased from the Lehigh Navigation Com¬
pany the tquiprnent of locomotives, cars and tools of the
Lehigh & fcusqu hanna Railroad at the appraised value of
$2,310,000, and assumed the payment of the interest and of
the principal at maturity of $2,310,000 of the Lehigh
Naviga¬
tion Company’s gold loan of 1897.
It now agrees to deposit
with the trus'ees of that loan $2,310,000 of its new
general
mortgage bonds, which, with the equipment, shall be held as
security for the stipulated payments of principal and interest ”
Mexican Central.—The Boston Journal reports of

the
company’s new lines: “The con-truction work
on the Guadalajara branch is now going forward
v*-ry rapidly.
About 17 miles of track are laid, and the grading for 30 miles
work

on

this

is about completed.
All the rails on hand have been
used up, but a cargo of 556 tons is now on the way from Eng¬

more

land, and is expected to arrive about August 8. Another
cargo of 1,700 or 1.800 tons has been started and will arrive
some time during the latter
part of next month.
The work
on the Tampico division is also
going ahead as fast as is prac¬
ticable. The grading to the MetasOpa canyon is well advanced,

but a rock cut, about 25 miles from that
point, will delay
track laying for three or four weeks.
The rails are already
down ckxse up to this cut, and as soon as the work is done
there they will be laid to the canyon, where it is probable a

delay of three

or

four months will be encountered.”

—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 since
Beptemher 1, 188(5. and in previous years, has been as follows.

ginghams, cotton dress goods, table damasks and cotton
hosiery were distributed in liberal quantities by agents.
Domestic Woolen Goods,—The market for clothing woolens
has not shown much animation and its main features are
unchanged. Some additional orders for light weight cheviots,
caesimeres and suitings were booked for later delivery, and
there was a moderate movement in heavy goods in execution
of back orders, but transactions aggregated light. Cloakings
were in limited request, but Jersey cloths and stockinets con¬
tinued in fair demand and firm in price. Satinets ruled quiet,
and transactions in Kentucky jeans and doeskins were only
moderate, but piices remain steady. All-wool and worsted
dress goods were freely delivered by agents on account of
foimer orders, and a very fair amount of new business was
done in these fabrics. Flsnnels and blankets were in steady
though moderate request, and desirable makes are firmly held
by the mill agents. Carpets were in fair demand, as were
fihawls, skirts, wool hosiery and underwear, and fancy knit
woolens.

business in silks, velvets and plushes. Men’s-wear woolens
were more or less quiet, and there was a comparativly light
busines in linen goods, white goods, laces and embroideries,
but hosiery and fabric gloves were in fair request by package
buyers.
