paid in New York for May were about 4 millions (or

If we can continue thus to
keep the import movement
down, there can be little doubt, with good crops, of an
influx of gold in the early fall, which
may derer a silver

prevent it altogether.
The only really disquieting feature at the moment is
the strong tone for foreign
exchange, which is, however,
due to the scarcity of bills and not to
any such exceptional
demand for sterling as characterized the market a week
ago.
So long as money rules so extremely easy here, and
so
high at London, this condition cannot fill to excite
caution and impart a
feeling of peculiar sensitiveness in
financial circles.
The private statement by cable Thurs¬

the Continental bourses were

The great obstacle to
free shipments of breadstuffs at the moment is the
existing speculation, based upon an assumed scarcity
of grain for delivery within the next two months.
Con.
eequently, prices of these staples are maintained at figures
which effectually bar out exports.
If, as now appears
probable, the crop of wheat should prove to be abundant
the movement to market of that portion which is earliest
harvested must break down prices at least of wheat, and
thus bring the produce within the reach of exporters.
This line of reasoning will doubtless be adopted by foreign
bankers who may be disposed to make speculative sales
of sterling, and therefore we may reasonably look for a

gradual decline in the rates of exchange. Still, under the
existing condition of the money markets of London and
New York, and in view of the possibilities referred to
speedy demand for even the best American
securities can be expected sufficient in amount to make
any appreciable impression upon exchange,

During the three months

expenses were reduced no les3 than $782,988, leaving net
earnings for the quarter actually $587,902 greater than in
1882.
The truth is, the company’s reports thus far have
been very satisfactory, and the only uncertain point is
with reference to the success of its efforts to fund, its
floating debt, which, however, wo showed early in the year
was not very large
for a company of its size. There
appears to be some doubt as to just what the company has
accomplished with its collateral trust, loan, and if the
officials would enlighten the public on this matter it would
certainly tend to clear up much confusion.
A point of some interest to investors and speculators in
bonds is the fact that with the 1st of June the distinction

MEXICO AND HER OBLIGATIONS.
Our

people, being so largely interested in Mexican
railroads, follow closely the efforts which have lately been
at

London to settle tho old Mexican debt and restore

Mexico’s credit.

This debt is

an

ancient matter, the in¬

present republican government was organized.

Govern¬

ment feels for

improving its credit.
hopeful feature of this settlement is that it seems
to bo satisfactory to both parties ; for while its terms are
far from onerous to the Mexican Government they are
regarded by the bondholders as more favorable to them
than their own proposition, submitted as recently as last
October.
The bondholders at that time were prepared to
fund their coupons at full face value, and with this done
accept a sliding rate of interest, beginning at a very low
figure, upon the debt thus enlarged. In the first year
only one per cent was to be paid, in the second year 2
per cent, and in the succeeding seven years the same
figure ; after that 3 per cent, if the resources of the coun¬
try should prove sufficient.
The proposition now
submitted, and which is supposed to have the sanction of
the Mexican Government or rather to emanate directly
from it, oilers only £12 for the coupons unpaid from
January 1, 1867, to date—in other words, £112 in new
bonds for every £100 of tho principal of the old bonds
with.all coupons attached—but offers to pay full three per
cent interest at once upon the new debt instead of 1@2@3

On the so-called debt of

par value represents unpaid coupons of tho former, new
bonds are offered to the extent of this 60 per cent, with

Mexican Government, and what portion, if any, is to be
reserved for the uses of the republic.
The total issue of
bonds is to be for £20,000,000, and of this £15,300,000 is
to be appropriated for the exchange of the old debt above
referred to, and the remainder, £4,700,000, is to be at the
disposal of the Government “for the arrangement of
certain obligations of certain of the internal debts of the
republic,” and for various expenses attending refund¬
ing, &c. Out of this £4,700,000, the English papers say,
there will first have to be paid the British Convention
debt of between £800,000 and £900,000 ; this is a loan
that was guaranteed by the British Government, and as
the rate of interest on it is 6 per cent, it is calculated that
the whole amount to be settled for—that is, the original
principal, plus 16 years’ interest—aggregates as much a?
£1,800,000. This would leave only £2,900,000 out of thi
original £4,700,000, and from thatthero is to be paid the

in the United States, and this might
prove practicable, but it is, evident that it would still
further increase the annual charges.
Altogether, then, it is clear that Mexico’s financial affairs
need
most careful handling.
But it is equally clear that
circumstances therefore be expected to bring more than

all
other necessary work to complete the same.
Allowing
for these items, and remembering that the new bonds

It is not known just which “ certain obl¬
igations of the internal debts” the Government wishes
to arrange for with this money, but it is presumed that
one of them is the payment of the sum which it has agreed
to give the Tehuantepec road people for their property—
somewhat over 1£ million dollars.
As to the ability of the Mexican republic to meet
promptly the interest on this 20 million loan, there is this
to be said, the burden does not appear heavy in view of
the country’s resources and revenue.
If subsequent loans
—and it is not denied that another may be attempted
when the- present is successfully completed—do not by
,their increased requirements for interest interfere, there
would seem strong reason for believing that the £600,000
required annually on this 20 million debt can be found
without any greaj difficulty.
Mexico has undergone great
development within recent years, and under the stimulus
of the railroads now being built there, she has every
prospect for continued progress in the future. There'is

support of this statement. The returns for April, issued
this week by the Bureau of Statistics, not only fully confirm
the opinion then expressed, *but in the result which
they disclose will no doubt appear a great surprise to
many persons who have not watched the movement very

closely.

The large balances in our favor which almost all recent
months had recorded—such as March with 17 millions,
January with 23£ millions, December with 33£ millions,
and November with 25|- millions—had encouraged the
belief that an equally favorable showing might be expected
in the months just past, but the figures for April make it
clear that it was only through the circumstance of lower
imports that any balance at all was left to us in that
month. The total of the exports reached only $60,860,588,

that the

import movement for the four
months to the 1st of May shows an aggregate lower than
in either 1882 or 1880, but somewhat above 1881, and of
course considerably above
1879. The conservative ten¬
dency of these figures is most marked in the last month
of the four—April—which shows a less total than the
Bame month in any other recent year
except 187u. It is
to be observed, too, that a much smaller proportion
of
the goods imported this year than last was entered for
consumption. That of course is due presumably to the
enactment of the new tariff law,
fixing lower rates of
duty on many articles, to go into effect June 1 and July
1. It is a significant fact all the same,
however, for if
with materially smaller imports, we can
keep an in¬
creasing amount in the warehouses, we have strong evi¬
dence of a slackening in the demand, otherwise such a
itate of
things would not be possible. The increase in
the amount of goods in bond
during April was very
decided, for while the total on the 31st of March was
$35,471,813, on the 30th of April it was $42,023,011, an
enlargement of over 6} million dollars. The total of 42

exports was $2,557,129, to which should be added an
increase of $1,123,805 in the provisions exports,
making
together $3,680,934. Taking this in connection with the
remark above that the cotton shipments were also heavier
than a year ago, encourages the idea that there should be
quite a large difference in favor of this year’s exports. But
the fact is that while it is true that

quantity, it is not true that the value was greater. Last
April about 352,000 bales of cotton went out, and this
year about 36,000 bales more than that, but the price wag
fully two cents per pound lower in 1883, so that value#
must

have been at least

a

million dollars loss.

With this

explanation, the increase shown in the following table of
the breadstufifs and provisions movement at each
port will
no
longer appear to be in conflict with that shown in total
exports above.

reports were not nearly as good as in 18S2, and in addition
to this circumstance was the extreme depression in the
iron trade, w7ith the prospect of a strike of large pro¬
portions among the iron workers to take place on

It appears that

safe and lucrative business, and were known to be large
dealers in unspeculative securities, such as railway debentures,
debenture stocks and preference shares. Speculation, how¬
ever, which has entrapped and ruined so many, tempted them,
or rather the senior partner, to incur great risks, and the result
has been a serious collapse which will involve many firms on
the Stock Exchange in heavy loss.
The immediate effect of this failure on Stock Exchange prices
was a serious decline in home railway securities, followed by a
severe collapse in American properties.
Of the latter the more
prominent instance was the "Wabash stocks and bonds, the
bonds being also affected by rumors, subsequently contradicted,
that the first of June interest would not be paid. A meeting of
the creditors of the failed firm was held on Thursday, when the
liabilities—that is to say differences—were computed at
£230,000, with assets amounting to only £7,000 to £8,000. The
firm enjoyed so high a reputation that within the last few days,
on its failing to obtain further assistance
from the banks, as
much as £20,000 was obtained on the security of I. 0. U’s.
This failure, as well as that of L. B. Mozley, which was referred
to last week, is of much significance, inasmuch as it indicates to
what a dangerous extent speculation has been carried, and
how hopelessly insolvent many members of
the Stock
Exchange are. Nothing, it is believed, but a great revi¬
val of business can save many from being compelled to
meet their creditors, but the hopes of revival * are at
present very indistinct, and the prospect is not, therefore, an
encouraging one. It is undoubtedly the opinion of many that
a severe weeding out of dangerous and insolvent firms will have
to be effected before the public will have confidence and give
their support to the markets. Although, however, British rail¬
way shares have experienced a heavy fall of late, it is not to be
inferred that there is anything really unsound with regard to
railway property. Owing to bad weather since January, and to
somewhat indifferent trade movements, the traffic returns do
not come up to expectations; but the fading off in that respect
does not justify so important a reduction in values.
The
downward movement is, in truth, due chiefly to the fact that
the quotations had been forced up to too high a point in

Hartford.—A
special
meeting
New York
Haven &
of
the stockholders of this railroad was held in New Haven on May
26.
President Wafrous said of the proposed loan of $5,000,000
on first mortgage bonds (as reported by the New Haven Pallet,(Hum), that part of the money would be used to meet obliga¬
tions
already incurred, amounting to $1,000,000.
Only
$2,000,000 more would be expended at the present time.
Should the two additional tracks be extended to New Haven
the entire amount would be needed.
Increased facilities were
not required on the Hartford division nor at the New Haven
end of rhe New York division ; the necessity was between Stam¬
ford and Harlem River. Another difficulty was in rhe constant
demand for an increase of trains ; they must be trains of light¬
ning speed, and yet every town must be accommodated. The
bonds could probably be sold at 4 per cent interest and a
premium. The vote authorizing an Lsueof §5.000,000 of bonds
was unanimous ; 68,386 shares of the 15b,000 were represented.
Only fifty of the 3,000 stockholders were prevSent.

ordinary principles of usage plainly refute and forbid

It is a high state of efficiency
that will insure regular dividends on the preferred issues.”
Pursuant to the plan of building extensions referred to in
the report of 1S80, over 300 miles of track have been laid, and
Peoria, Illinois, reached. “ These extensions are in the oldestsettled, most populous and thriving, sections of Iowa and Illin¬
ois, with supposed and manifest coal deposits underlying much
of the distance, giving to the company the first eastern outlet
of its own into a flourishing commercial centre and distribut¬
ing point in importance to the Central’s surroundings, second
alone to Chicago ; make $15,000 per mile the average funded
debt on the old and new line together, and level to $1,000 per
mile the annual interest charge, in lieu of $1,365 a* it stood
upon the old line alone ; with arrangements whereby the Cen¬
tral is released from payment of interest during the present
year upon bonds issued on the last 125 miles of road built in
Iowa, known as Eastern Division, and from interest obligations
on the Peoria line denominated Illinois Division, until April 1,
1885.
To join the Iowa with the Illinois Division until the
Mississippi is permanently bridged, a contract has been made
to establish ferry facilities with a capacity to transfer 200 cars

greatly increasing its value. The extension has been
completed from Tara, near Fort Dodge, running in a north¬
westerly direction across the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad
at Rolf, and intersecting the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railroad at Rutliven, a distance of 56 3-10 miles, together with
the necessary bridges, depots, grain-houses and cattle yards.
This work has been done slowlv during the last two years, but it
has been well done and economically.*’ * * “There has been
purchased for the extension the following tquipment: Five 30-ton
freight engines, one 30-ton switch engine, one hundred coal
cars, thirty-six hat cars, nine hand cars, nine rubble cars.
To
meet the expense of this extension 672 six per cent bonds of
this company have been issued, secured by a first mortgage
upon the 56 3-10 miles of extension, and upon the above equip¬
ment, the ad iiiional cost beiug paid by the company from the
proceeds of the sales of its lands, and from other sources. •
A coal track has been built of six and a quarter miles in
length, commencing at Angus, on the main line of the road,
and extending into the extensive coal lands adjoining. This
track enables the company to reach tour mines now open, and
others will probably be opened on its line, the business from
which materially aids the company. This track v.as laid with
second-hand iron and cost $41,286.
* * *
“There have been sold by the company during the year 6,735
acres of land, at an ee'vragi price of £9 45, being an aggregate
price of $63,but, eaving on hand unsold 14,764 acies.” * *
“The
^ earnings of the road fall short by $54,000what, they
were during the previous year, caused by tlie competition of
two new roads crossing the Hue and the general reduction of
rates.
The corn crop is of greatly diminished amount also,
but this we have reason to expect will be better during the
next year.
The* increased rate of the operating expenses is due
iu a degree to the work on the extension and the hauling of
construction materials, which will be omitted the coming year.”

Allegheny Valley Railroad Company.
(For the year .ending Dec. 31, 1882.)
The annual report states that during the year the issue of
income bonds was increased as follows :
Issued to individuals
in settlement of floating debt, $6,500; issued to individuals in
part payment of interest, $154,500 ; issued to contributing com¬
panies for interest on income bonds held, and for contributions
under contract of October 2, 1S74, $42*8,000 ; total increase,
$5S9,000.
.
The total amount of income bonds issued to Dec. 31, 18S2, on
account of suspended debt and interest, and interest thereon, is
as follows:
To individuals, wbh contribution memorandum,
$3,352,700 ; to contributing companies, without contribution
memorandum, $5,408,000 ; total, $8,760,700.
The contributions by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company, and Northern Cen¬
tral Railway Company, under the traffic contract of October 2,
1874, pertaining to the settlement and funding of the floating
debt, which were applied to the payment of interest on income
bonds having the contribution memorandum, amounted in 1882
to $71,593, against. $66,247 in 1881.
“During the year no charges have been made to
acc unt.
In the operating expenses are included x>ne new
engine, three new passenger coaches, the annual
payment of ear trust on 259 freight cars, the re-building
engine house at South Oil City, and other permanent improve¬
ments, aggregating $113,965.
The increase, in operating

ings would, without, doubt, have shown a mateiial increase over
those of the preceding year.”
Of the sinking-fund bonds due in 1SS9, there are outstanding
in the hands of other parties. $292,000, on which interest, is
paid, the trustees holding $306,000, and the corporation holding
$116,000 on which no interest is paid.
The Peinigewasset Valley Railroad has been substantially
completed from Plymouth to North Woodstock, and the lease
of the same to this road has been execured, and the directors

Washington, May 29, in

Secretary of the Interior to-dav decided the question whioh
the application of the Central Pacific R tilroad Company for
patents to certain lands lying opposite to a construe! od and accepted
p ut of the road. As the Central Pacific Company has not completed its
entire line within the time prescribed by the granting act, the qu-stioii
thus presented to the Secretary is similar to that decided bv the United
States Supremo Court in the ease of Schulenberg against Il.trriiuan, in
which the court held that tile provision for the completion of the road
within a certain time was a condition subsequent; that, although tha
time for building the road had expired, the gr.t it remained unimpaired,
and the land did not and could not revert without, the intervention of
legislative or judicial action, and without such acti n no effect what¬
ever could he given to the forfeit u o clause.
The Secretary says that, in
view of this decision, which was made more than eigi t years
ago. and
lias been often re-ailinned, anti or the further fact that, although the
attention of Congress has been repeatedly called to the effect of the de¬
cision and no action has been taken by that body, it must be presumed
that Congress intends that the land grant companies shall have tho
benefit <>f the decision ; that at all events his tic ion as an executive
ollicer must be controlled by tno deeUious of the Supreme Court, which
has declared that under such circumstances the grant must not bo
treated as forfeited; that ho is without d scrctio i or power in the mat¬
ter, and that there is no eo rse left for tlie Land Do;-artmeat except to
issue patents f,»r lands lying opposite, tho completed portion of the road.
This decision sustains tho recent appeal of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company from the refusal of the Commissioner of the Gcueivl Laud
Office to proceed with tho patenting of lauds to the Central Pacific Com¬
pany as the successor of the California as Oregon Railroad Company,

EPITOME,

Friday Night, June 1. 1883.

Business

during the past week has been interrupted by Deco¬

close holiday. The weather has become warmer,
but is still much of the time rather cool for the season, and in
many sections the crops need rain.
The threatened strike of
the iron-workers at Pittsburg and other points West seems to
hare been avoided by a settlement. General business assumes
between-season aspects, and yet the tone of mercantile circles
has undoubtedly improved during the month just closed, and
the coming autumn season is looked forward to with much con¬

the downward path during the
week. The speculation has been small.
To-day there was a
recovery, as the recent declines brought out liberal purchases
for an advance. Pork sells on the spot, but is very slow for
the options ; to-day mess sold on the spot at $20 ; family mess
$21 50 ; clear back at $22 50@$22 75. Lard advanced early in
the day ; then an irregular feeling set in, but later the tone
became quite steady ; prime western was quoted on the spot
at ll*50@ll*55e.; refined to the Continent 11 50c.; South Amer¬
ica 12c.; for future delivery a larger speculation was reported ;

Beef hams were dull. Butter
and cheese have declined, and the tone is weak. Tallow sold
at 7 15-16(gSe. for prime.
Stearine steady at 13^c. for prime.
An active speculation in coffee has been noted during the
week, with prices generally in favor of the “short” interest.
Sugars have been quiet and to-day, when the new tariff laws
went into effect, the position was very dull and prices entirely
nominal; fair refining Cuba under the revised tariff was quoted
at 6%c.; fair to good 6%@7c.
Refined has declined in sympa¬

Foreign accounts have been dull, and

crop accounts

much better; but the relative cheapness of options for the

them to show

next crop cause

There has been no great pressure to

sell options for this crop,
but the “bull” party having apparently left matters to them¬
selves, there is no speculative support to prices.
To-day there
was a slight recovery, but a dull market.
In the last hour,
however, the market became active and buoyant, all three
summer months selling at about the same figures, and the
next crop recovered Thursday’s decline.
Cotton on the spot
has been very dull.
Little has been reported except an unim¬
portant demand for home consumption. Quotations were
weak on Saturday, and were reduced l-16c. on Monday and
again on Thursday.
To-day the market was quiet and
unchanged, middling uplands closing at 10^c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 3G6.500
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week

1,740 bales, including 105 for export, 1,522 for consumption,
113 for speculation and
in transit. Of the above, — babs

The unprecedented large yield of the cotton crop of 1882-3, coupled
with the inactivity which has more or h sa prevailed during the past
year in almost every branch of trade and linance, have undeniab.y
exerted their depressing influence on the cos ton trade.
While, also, tin* said causes have contributed to a reduced volume of
business, particularly m transactions for future deliv* ry, the Hoard of
Managers find ample cause of congratulate n in so far as by du- caution

injurious convulsions inseparable from unrestrained speculation and
violent fluctuations, the disasters, as compared with previous >ears,

§onstantly 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.
