FORMER ACREAGE AND PBODDCTION. On him Still anoth'er point, the observer will need facts before as the season progresses ; we refer to the statements of 1870 and 1830, should be kept in mind. It will be remembered that we then showed from the reports for the two dates mentioned that there had been during the ten years, in all the Southern States, an average increase in cotton acreage of G 47 per cent, and yearly in cereal and production for previous years. As to acre, acreage of 4 34 per cent.

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 changed wholl}', becoming warm and showery, so that tlie plant since then has everywhere grown rapidly.

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.

Since that date, however, there has been a decided change Still, and the plant is and growth has been rapid. backward, and almost everywhere rainfall, smaller than at this date a year ago. (2.) The Cultivation up to the first of June was thorough and uninterrupted, rains not being so frequent as to delay farm work. Hence the general report was that the fields were then clean and free from weeds. Since early in June there has been more rain than needful, complaints are coming up from and quite decided various districts that becoming troublesome. This in many cases is greatly exaggerated, and may all speedily change by a return of dry weather, checking the growth of weeds and giving opportunity for a renewal of farm work. We should not, therefore, on this occasion have referred to it, were it not for the small and slow developnient of later plantings in the more northern latitudes, which leaves such sections more easily injured in this way, than is usual at this s3ason. A very young cotton plaut is no match for crab-grass; besides, such a plant cannot during wet weather grow the root it will so much need later on. (3.) The coKdition of the crop now is therefore in general good, and if the rains slop we should say that with the exception of being backward (which in itself is of grass very is little importance) the condition is very good. looked very promising indeed at the latest mail dates.

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.

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.

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.

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 St. & New be found on another iiage. 1 Jl-nb 2a, V ' V V V 1 THE CHRONICLE. lUi-8. SKW YOKK SrOCK EXCHANGE PRICES FOR WEEK 701 ENI.INU Ji;.>fK 9J.

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. ; • : .

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.
