Planting began about ten days later tliis year than last,
scarcely anywhere before tlie 35th of April, and was not completed in the latest districts until about the first of June. All
that was planted early came up soon and very well, but much
of tlie later-planted was kept back by the lack of rain during
May. Begiiming w-ith the early part of June the weather

Florida. The planting commenced in this State about the
first of March, but was not finished in all sections until about
the 15th of April. Seed planted came up well, but the cold
weather made the growth very slow. Stands, however, aro
now excellent and the fields the middle of June are clean with
the plants looking healthy and promising. Acreage. There
has been a small increase in the planting of both Ssa
Islands and Uplands. The average for the State is probably
about 3 per cent more than last year. Fertilizers. In homo,
made manures there is a very decided increase reported, but a
falling off in the use of commercial fertilizers.
Alabama. The planters in this State, like those in the
States previously reviewed, were most of them delaj-ed somewhat in getting in their seed. Tlie first jilantings were at
about the same date as in 1882 — say the last of March, but a year
ago by the middle of April the work was very nearly finished
up, while this j-ear it was the first of 'May when the same point
was reached. The seed came up fairly well, and the start
would have been a very good one had not tlie temperature
been so low that the development was delayed, though since
the latter part of May the weatlier has been warmer and tlie
growth more rapid and satisfactory. Uj) to the 10th of June
the fields were in fine condition, clean and well cultivated, but
since then there have been in some sections complaints of loo
much rain. The Stand secured was very good, except on some
of the poorer lands, where it is reported to be uneven but tlie
plants are now vigorous, healthy and well rooted, giving excel
lent promise, if the fields are kept clean and the rains are not
too abundant. Acreage. Reports as. to acreage show a quite
general increase, and we estimate the average for the State at
fully 5 per cent. Fertilizers. There has been a marked
increase in the takings of commercial fertilizers, and a decided
growth this year in the use of home-made manures.

The money market during the past week has presented no
very special feature. For a very brief period there was rather
more firmness in the loan market, owing to the re-payment of
exchequer bills; but beyond this fact the tendency has been
decidedly in favor of ease. The low rate of interest at which

exchequer bills were allotted viz only 3 per cent per aunum
for six months' bills— caused some surprise, and hence it was
concluded that there was no apprehension in high quarters of

Arrivals from abroad have been large,
6d. to Is. per quarter.
and there having been fair deliveries of home-grown wheat, the

markets have been abundantly supplied. Jlillers have therefore been buying very cautiously and only to supply their
immediate wants. This is in fact the only course they can with
reason pursue, as there is certainly no prospect of improvement,
supplies, actual and prospective, being more than equivalent
to the demand.
The weather during the early part of the week continued
very biiliiant, but there has been an easterly wind and the
Eight temperature has been low. Latterly, it has had an
unsettled appearance with some rain. This will benefit the
spring-sown crops, which are decidedly in want of moisture.
Should the weather be as forcing daring the nexu few weeks as
it has been of late the harvest which promised to be so much
behindhand will be, if anything, earlier than usual. In early
districts in Sussex
one of our f jrwaid counties— wheat was
commencing to bloom towards the close of last week, and in a
few days the process will no doubt be general in the South of
England. Hops are growing so fast that the tyers have to
work hard to keep pace with the plant.

shows a large increase— viz., of £3,650,000, owing to very large
import chiifly from the United States. As regards spriug corn
the increase

is

also

somewhat important.

Toledo Cincinnati k St. Lonts. This compan.v has issued •
circular in relation to an exchange of its income bonds for preferred stock, which will be entitled to vote at stockholdewP
meetings equally with the common stock, and which will be
issued in shares of $50 each. Twenty shares of the preferred
stock will be exchanged for an income bond of ^l.OUO, orpar

income bonds for the new preferred stock is going on rapidly;

during the past week it is presumed the banks have increased their loans, as it is understood some pretty large jireparations have been made for can-ying stocks. It is also safe
to assume that in view of the unsettled feeling at Chicago tlic
banks at that point have drawn on us for some currency: but

YOItli, FltlDAY, JU.NE 2i, 1SS3-.? P. .11.
The Money Jliirket and. Financial Sitnation.— Tlie failures of five or .si.x large speculative firms in the grain and
provision trade.s doing business in Chicago, during tlio last
week, were not wholly unexpected, as it had been public gossip for nearly a month that certain hoiLses were carrying a
load of those products which was evidently straining their resources but it was considered possible that a spell of bad
weather, either here or in Europe, might strengthen the
markets enougli to caiTy them through, and therefore
could
it
not
be
positively
assumed
that
thev
must
fail,
and any
statement
to
that
effect
iii
print would not liave been wananted by the circumstances.
But it is to be said that now the failures
have occurred, they turn out to be for larger amounts
than was thought likely to be the case, and this fact alone did
at one time in the lti.st few days cause a very decided uusettlement of confidence in financial affairs at the'West,— somuch
so that on Tuesday a good many of the country banks tributary to Chicago began to draw their balances on deposit with
the Chicago banks. The scare, however, was of short duration and that phase of it disappeared on Wednesday.
As to the influence of the failures upon the ti-ades particularly
affected, the important fact may be kept in mind that
there h.as been very little loss to any merchant in legitimate
trade, for the reason that exporters, millers and consumers,
knowing that the.':e prices were artijBcial, have kept out, and
have been carrying scarcely anj-thing. In fact, that is the
reason why the speculators failed, viz., because the legitimate
trade, neither here nor in Europe, would take hold.
At least one good effect has followed these failures, and the
resultmg large fall in the prices of some of our chief staples
of ex port— it has ])laced these staples on a legitimate trade
basis
and the expectation that as soon as the foreign markets recover
from the first effects of the decline on this side, there will be
an increased export movement, is shown in the declinuig tendency of foreign exchange in the last few days.
Advices from several points in New England say that there
has boon an increased demand for dry goods, that many
mills
now have larger orders ahead, and that orders of two weeks
ago could not be duplicated at the same prices.
From some quarters there are reports of an improved condition in the iron trade, and No. 1 pig, which
vvas
a
month ago at |20, cannot be bought now for much offered
less than
;

f22 per ton.

The money markets of this country not only continue abundantly supnlicd at low rates of interest, but
also show the
effects of the expeetation of large interest
and dividend disbursements after the first of next month. Call loans
on stock
collaterals on the Stock Exchange have ruled
at 2 and 2i^ ner
cent. Time loans on tlie same collaterals have
been freelv
offered for six and seven months, at 5 per cent
per annum
Kates of discount for mercantile paper remain nominallv
\mchangedat4and5per cent for first-class double names and
5 .-uid 6 for first-class single names.

— The market

for sterling has continued weak,
and on Tuesday the posted rates were reduced from 4 86 and
4 891^ to 4 85J^ and 4 89. It is noted that in the last few days,
there have been freer offerings of commercial bills; also that
within the same time there have been some security bills in
the market, which it is jiresumed were made against purcha.'-eK
of stocks, and upon inquiry it is learned that some considerable amounts of Illinois Central, Pennsylvania, and several
other stocks of that class, are being steadily absorbed by foreign purchasers. On Friday the rates for actual business'wero

State and Railroad Bunds.— The railroad bond market has
been dull throughout the week, and the tendency in prices has
been downward, though only in the speculative class, the better class having reiiiaiiud about steady.
The niost business
has been in the "West Shore bonds, which have remained
firm.
Texas & Pacific (Rio Grande Division), Atlantic
Pacific and East Tennessee income bonds have eacli had a

& \

moderate amount of business, the two first of wliich are 1 i)er
cent lower and the last 1!|. Aside from these there have
only been straggling sales in oth.er bonds at lowpr
prices,
viz.:
Richmond & Allegheny firsts are 5 per
cent lower; Texas & Pacific
2,'.,';
incomes,
Virginia
Midland incomes, It^'; Kansas & Texas second's, l^, Ohio
Central firsts, l-'4; Denver & Rio Grande consols, ^g'; R'ehmond & Danville debentures, Ipj; and Wabash general mortgages 1 per cent.
Among those which are higher are
Northern Pacific firsts, }.{, which have been exceptionally
strong during tlie week.
In State bonds tliere has been an unusually small business
and prices have changed but little.

Railroad and Miscellanoftiis Stock*.— As mentioned in
last week, there had been an advancing market
for stocks up to Friday evening, the 1.5th; buf on Saturday,
the 16th, the market was depressed from the effects of heavy
failures in the grain and i>rovision trades at the West, notably
that of McGeoch, who was trying to effect a corner in lard ;
and while these failures had but little direct connection with
our article of

the stock market, they disturbed confidence in financial
affairs at the West, and started a decline in stocks which continued until there was a turn for the better on Thursday, the

which time some improvement in i)rices took,
The extreme decline up to Wednesday was about 1 to
per cent, the greatest fall being on New Jersey Central, to
84.
The improvement since Wednesday leaves" the market
generally lower for the week, viz.: on the active stocks from
1 to 89s.
Illinois Central was quoted ex-dividend of 17 per
21st,

after

place.

cent, being the

amount

the Chicago

Louis

"*

of the scrip dividend in the stock
Orleans Railroad.
At to-day's meeting of the Vanderbilt lines, the Lake Shoreffl
declared a dividend of 2 per cent quarterlv. and the Canada
Southern and Michigan Central 2 and 3 per 'cent, respectively,
semi-annually. The statements submitted at the meeting wiU

during the year on the $6,110,000 colisolidated bonds hela by
the Central' Railroad Co. of New Jersey, as, after providing for
the sinking funds and paying the interest on the other obligations of the company, including the income bctds issued for
funding coupons, it was deemed judicious by the board of
directors to "devote a large part of the <arnings to the new

default they were subject to be placed in the hands of a
receiver and their incomes and revenues sequestrated. All of
them defaulted in the payment if interest in 1873. and were
handed over to receivers appointed at the request of the State
Treasurer. They were in this attitude when, in Jlaj', 1874, the legislature repealed the law authorizing the roads to be put into
the hands of a receiver, and they drifted back into the hands of
their owners. Soon after this the Supreme Court of Arkansas
declared the bonds illegal and void, because the act under
which they were issued never became a law as provided by the
State Constitution.
Thusmatteis rested until something over
a year ago, when the bondholders filed a complaint in the
Uhi*ed States Circuit Court for the Eistern District of Arkansas
against the Little Rock & Fort Smith Railroad, praying .judgment against that road for the amount of the coupons overdue
on the State bonds issued to it, and the appointment of a
receiver.
To tliis the defendant demurred, claiming that the
bonds were invalid that the road had pa.s.sed into the hands of
a new coiporation, and conld not be made chargeable with that
indebtedness. Argument in the ease was heard by Hon. Geo.
W. McCrary. Circuit Judge, and Hou. Henry C, Caldwell,
District Judge.
The demurrer was overruled, the Court
holding that the r. ad was liable for the bonds.
At
the late term of the United States Court, held at Little
liock, suir, was
also commenced against the Little Rock
Mississippi River
& Texas Railway Company, a new
corporation which had absorbed the Little Rock
Pine
Bluffs & New
Orleans and the Mississippi Ouachita &
Red River roads, similar to that against the Fort Smith road.

Uoston, April 4, has made a report to the effect that the
managers of the road have been using the whole net earnings
or profits of the road in extensively improving it, by putting
down steel rails and in many other ways, according to their
best jadgmeut, in view of the increasing business of the road
and its future posijibilities, and the committee is disposed to conced^ honesty of intention in the management of the road, while
it charges gross carelessness of the rights guaranteed to
preferred stockholders by the charter. In regard to the present
year (I883i, the committee have the assurance of the Pref-ident
that a dividend will be paid to some or all the preferred security holders of the road out of the surplus net earnings. In view
of tlie.se facts, the committee recommends that the claims of
the junior preferred stocks be h^^ld in abeyance, and that the
holders of debt certificates and of preferred stocks should
accept (if voted them by the directors) dividend scrip for 7 per

of N.

from Trenton, N.

J.— Pennsylvania.—The Times' dispatch
June 21, says: "A few weeks ago the

Company filed a bill in the United Slates
Circuit Court, in this city, setting forth that an agreement had
been entered into between it and the Central Railroad of New
Jersey by which the Pennsylvania was permitted to run trains
over the New York & Long Branch road to the sea-shore.
in this agreement, it is alleged, it was also stipulated that no
Superintend^-nt for that division of tne Central Railroad should
be appointed without the concurrence of the Pennsylvania
Riilroad. The bill further stated that the complainants had
received notice that the Central Railroad Company would no
longer abide by the contract, and concluded by praying for an
injunction ord^r restraining fhj Central Railroad Company
from abrogating the said contract or taking any action whatsoever in the matter. The court istued a temporary order to
that effect, and fixed June 25'as the day on which to hear the
arguments in the case
By consent of counsel the hearing has
been postponed until Jaly 9.
"Lite last evening Mr. Edward T. Green, counsel for the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, filed a petition asking for a
rule to show cau^e why the Court should not appoint a proper
person to act as Superintendent of the New Y'oik & Umg
Branch Railroad, and that the said road be managed ani operated under the direction of the Court. Judge Nixon granted
th-- rule and made it returnable on June 23.
In the meantime
alliJavits ma.y be taken preliminarily for the argument.
The
petition sets forth the stipulation above recited, concerning (he
appointment of a Superintendent with the consent of'both
partie.'; ani further, that upon the resignation of Mr. Ranolph,
the late Superintendent of the New York & Long Branch
Rjiilroad Company, the President of the Central Railroad Company filled the place by the appointment of f.nother without
lonsulting the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. This act, the
petition claims, is a violation of the injunction i-ssued by the
(J'>urt in the suit still pending af^inst the Central Railroad
(^•mpan.T, and also that the President of the Central Railroad

Company is in contempt of court."

India Cotton Movkxbnt from all Ports. We have during
the past year been endeavoiing to rearrange our India service
8o as to make our reports more detailed and at the same time
more accurate. Hitherto we have found it impossible to keep
out of our figures, as cabled to us for the ports other than
Bombay, cargoes which proved only to be shipments frcm one
India port to another. The plan we have now adopted, as we
have reason to believe, will relieve us from the danger of this
We first give the
inaccuracy and keep the totals correct.

rather more firmness. W.^rsted coatings
are pretty well sold up as a rule, and prices, though low, are
fairly steady.
Kentucky jeans have met with moderate sales,
and stocks are iu better shape than for some 'ime pa-st many
accumulations having been closed out daring the past f«w
weeks. Satinets were mostly quiet, bat repellent.-* were a trifle
more active, and a fairly good ba.siuess was reported in J-rsey
White flannels continued in good request, but colored
cloths.
and shirting flannels were relatively quiet, and there was only
a limited demand for blankets. Summer dres.s g(H>d« Were
lightly dealt in, but fair orders were placed for such fall
fabrics as all-wool cashmeres, snitinfrs, sacRings, \c.
for future
delivery.
For hosiery and underwear there was an increased
inquiry, resulting in a fair a^rgregate basines.s.
Foreign Dey Goods have ruled verv quiet iu first hands, and
the jobbing trade was of strictly moderate proportions. Staple
goods, as low.grade cashmeres, &c., remain firm in price, but
low figures are found necessary in order to move suctj fabrics
as are subject to the vagaries of fashion.
