HOW WILL THE

JULY DIVIDENDS

BE

INVESTED?

One hundred and

fifty millions of dollars will in a few
days be paid out on account of the July dividends, and the
prominent topic of discussion in the financial circles is what
direction this large sum will take, and in what securities it
will invest itself.
In former years a large part of the aggre¬
gate was regarded as certain to seek investment in Govern¬
ment bonds, because these securities were regarded as both
the safest and the

most

It is the experience of several years, and this catastrophe
adds another illustration to the long previous list, that no

board of apportionment, instead of being distributed as
formerly among a score of independent officials who acted
without much concert and devolved much of their responsi¬

change in the method of fixing the municipal expenditure
has some advantages, the most prominent of which is that it
places the responsibility clearly and without doubt.
If
there be extravagance and corruption we know whom to
call to account and whom to blame.
There is, however, the
plain objection that too much power is likely to be concen¬
trated in the four members of the new Board, who hold the
purse of the city ; and who are the Mayor, the Comptroller,
the Commissioner of Public Works, and the President of

created was enormous, and that the contracts for future delivery
amounted to 50,000 to 100,000 shares more than the whole capital
stock of the company, so that if the clique had not failed, their
“corner'’ of the market would have been complete, and the price

might have been advanced to almost any figure. The precise de¬
operation, however, are not so important as its con¬
sequences, the immediate result being seen in the failure of a
number of respectable firms of stock brokers, and immense
losses to all parties interested in Rock Island, while the general
market has received a shock, of which the effect will be felt
throughout the season. A fall of 20 per cent on $17,000,000
of Rock Island stock amounts to just $3,400,000, though it must
be remembered that a large part of the previous advance was as
fictitious as the decline. The general list was not so much de¬
pressed on the day of the panic as on Thursday, when a decline
of several points was made on many of the leading stocks with a
sharp rally at the close. To-day the market was unsettled and
fluctuating, with a weak feeling at the close and prices near the
lowest point of the day.
Hannibal and St. Joseph common sold
down to 82 and preferred to 80.
The coal stocks have declined
in consequence of the failure of negotiations in
regard to con¬
solidating the Maryland companies. As to the future, the pros¬
pect of any general advance in stocks is greatly injured by the
break in Rock Island, which will shake the confidence of out¬
siders most severely, and cause them to leave the market to the
cliques who control most of the leading stocks. On the other
hand, there seems to be no good reason for anticipating a general
downward movement, so long as money is easy and the interest
of cliques is all on the side of
high prices until their stocks are

generally

The market has been devoid of

speculative interest and without any sensational reports from the
Southern States, so that there is little to notice of these securities
beyond the record of prices given below. Railroad bonds are
generally firm, and there is a fair demand for nearly all the first
mortgages of good character. From various reasons, noticed by
us from time to
time, this class of investment has grown very
Diuch in favor, and each successive disturbance in the stock mar¬

ket has the effect of
directing the funds employed in speculation,
jato the safer channel of bond investments,

These results surpass those of any previous
year, and evidence
the solidity of the foundation on which the business of
this road
is based and the wise policy under which it has been
conducted.
The expenses of the road department
afford the most gratifying
evidence of the value of the improvements
made. For the year
1869-70 these have been $117,859 58 as against $139,922 80
for
the previous year, showing a decrease in the
very respectable
sum of $22,063 22, or 15.8
per cent., and when considered with re¬
ference to the units of measure, stand for the

From a comparison of these statements it will be seen that
there has been an increase in this class of indebtedness, of $70,629 98, of which, however, $36,659 60 is for interest, which had
accumulated on tlie past due coupons, heretofore reported as out

standing, mainly at tlie outset of the present administration, and
then unfunded, of which no account has been taken, because of
the impossibility of estimating at that date the amount thus due.
The floating debt is given gross at $688,891 22, of which $506,201 34 is by notes and acceptances and $182,689 94 by open ac¬
counts.

The resources of the company as an offset to this
consist of $154,000 eight per cent, bonds rated at

and in other respects the terms of agreement heretofore

road from Decatur, Ala., to Montgomery there will be a new and
most important line of railway opened from the Ohio river at

management, can hardly fail to do a very large business.
By the terms of the lease the L. & N. road guarantee and assume

than 0 per cent, on the capital stock of the company.

that they are Secured by a first mortgage of less chan $17,000 per

obtained.

Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad Company (of which this
company owns one-half of the capital stock), opened its railroad
for business July 11, 1870, and its earnings for the remainder of
the year were very satisfactory, being at the rate of over $8,000
per mile per annum, with the local traffic almost entirely unde¬
veloped.
The necessity having arisen for this company to have an inde¬
pendent connection with the city of Cincinnati under its own con¬
trol, to enable it, at all times, to furnish its eastern railroad con¬
nections a through route satisfactory to them, your Board of
Directors concluded a contract which will secure that result 'at. an
early day, and submitted tbe same to a special meeting of the
stockholders, on the 25th day of January, 1871, at which meeting
it received their unanimous approval.

Metals have been generally quiet; prices, however, are

following exchanges have been made during
%c. paid to exchange 100 July for ICO

the week:

August.

Telegraph.—Although there has been
during the week in some portions of
the South, still we should judge from our telegrams that the con¬
dition of the crop has everywhere improved somewhat during the
seven days.
At Galveston the weather has continued warm and
dry, and cotton in Texas is progressing finely. But at New Or,
leans it has rained on two days with the weather all the week
warm and sultry.
The same description of weather appears tg

it has rained portions of three days, and
our Macon dispatch states that it is raining now, and that the crop
is still grassy. Passing farther North, we have no mention o*
storms severe enough to interfere materially with crop work, and
from Charleston we learn that the plant in that vicinity is now
developing promisingly. At Nashville it has rained on two days
and at Memphis one day, but our reports from both places state
that cotton looks strong and healthy, and farm work is pro¬
gressing very favorably. The thermometer during the week has
averaged at Galveston, 84 ; Montgomery, 83 ; Macon and Coluinbus, 82; Mobile, 84; and Charleston and Memphis, 82.

Our

Weather Reports by

Telegraph.—Wo referred last

criticisms which had been made upon our telegraphic
weather report for the week ending June 0, (to the effect that it
did not agree with the Signal Service report), and showed, as far as
our space would allow, that they were unjust.
A further similar
attack made from another quarter upon the same report has
induced us to return to the subject, giving it a further examina

proposed to give affidavits of citizens at the various points in the
South, but on reflection we felt that the best of all evidence is the
newspapers published at the points where the question has arisen.
If, for instance, a newspaper published at Augusta states that it
rained at that point one or more days during the week ending
June 9 it is pretty good evidence that it did; and if we find that
other newspapers in the vicinity assert the same fact, may we not
rely with entire confidence upon the information obtained—at
,

gomery

Vicksburg states that
it rained there Wednesday, Thursday and to-day. Passing over
to Selma, two days rain are reported, with the crop at the close of
the week in a somewhat more favorable condition than last week.
From Mobile our telegram states that it rained the latter part of
have

least until some better evidence than the Signal Service reports
(which do not pretend to state the weather except at the moment
the telegraph is sent) is brought to oppose it. With this explana¬

the facts a moment, (See Chronicle of June
10, “ Weather Reports by Telegraph.”)
New Orleans.—The Chronicle stated that two rainy days
tion let us look into

reported for the week, with the prevailing temperature
and sultry. The Signal Service report, for the week, no¬
ticed rain only once and that slight on Saturday.
The New Or¬
leans Price Current, of June 10, states that “the weather has
been warm, cloudy and unsettled, with showers on Wednesday
and yesterday. A heavy rain on Thursday in the upper part of
the parish, &c.”
The previous Wednesday’s paper also states
that there was a heavy storm on Saturday.
The Picayune, in
referring to the latter (Sunday’s paper, June 4), states that “ for
forty-eight hours or more the rain lias been almost incessant, the
streets are flooded, and the atmosphere is dense and damp.” Again
the Picayune of the 18th says : '“ The rainfall at New Orleans
during tiie last four weeks has been 11.868 inches. There have
been only nine fair days during that time.
For the corresponding
four weeks of last year the rainfall was 3.385 inches, and there
were seventeen fair days.
The rainfall this year has therefore
been over three times as great as last year.
The New York
Bulletin compares the statement of the Chronicle with the
Signal Service reports for the week ending the lOtli, concerning
the weather at this point.
* * There was rainfall during four
days of that week. * * It is very common to see the clear
weather card over New Orleans on the weather map at the Cotton
Exchange when it is pouring down rain.” The New Orleans
Times of June 8th says that “ a flying visit to the country, gives a
very unfavorable idea of the growing crops, both of cane and
cotton.
Such continuous, drenching rains have not been known
for many years, and the plants, both of cotton and cane, have a
sickly hue.” Notwithstanding all this the Signal Service report
only gives us a slight jrain on Saturday.
Our correspondent
reported two rainy days, the showers on the other days referred
to by the Picayune probably being slight.
Missmi])pi.—The Chronicle, in its report, next stated that
the storms “ passing through the lower half of Mississippi appear
to have increased in violence and extent.”
The Meridan Gazette,
of the 13th of June, says: “It is useless to say anything about
rain. We have had so much this year and slept so sweetly by the
music of falling waters that the subject is quite threadbare.
And
still it comes in profusion.” The West Point Citizen of June 11
states, that “ the rains have been so frequent and in such quanti¬
ties that the crops could not be cultivated.” In the same paper
a farmer writes, that he has been
farming thirty yearsfin that coun
tyand he never saw such unfavorable weather. “The rain is
now
falling in torrents and it has been raining every two or three
days for months.” The Natchez Courier of the 7th and the Nat¬
chez Democrat of the 6th speak of the excessive rains continuing
at that
point, “seriously injuring the growing crop ;” while the
Vicksburg Herald, of the same date, also speaks of the rains
being continous and heavy. We could multiply these extracts
indefinitely, but, we think, all will admit that our report is much
more than
justified by the above.
Alabama.—The Chronicle further stated that three days rain
were reported at Mobile. Selma and Montgomery.
The Mobile
Register, of the 10th June, says: “Rains continue and as yet
planters have been unable to work out the grass,” &c. The Mont¬

that averaging all the days together, there has not been three

Want of space compels us to omit numerous other
extracts to precisely the same import.
If our critics want any
more on the same
subject we will give them the balance next
successive

week.

"

Georgia.—As to this State our report affirmed that the storms
were even more severe, rain falling six days at Macon, five days
at Columbus, Ac.
A correspondent of the New York Times, dated
Macon, June 10, vrrites as follows : “ Rain, rain, pittiless, ceaseless
rain, says Washington Irving, describing a ‘ wet spell.’ * * *
If the cotton planters of Georgia were asked to describe the rains
which for weeks have deluged their crops
* * * they would
certainly call them pittiless and ceaseless.”
The Albany News of
the 9th states : “We have had rains every day since the 1st inst.
On Monday the heaviest ever witnessed here deluged a vast ex¬
tent of country.”
The Augusta.Chronicle of the 9th says : “For
the past two weeks there lias been no scarcity of rain.
Nearly
every day there has been long and heavy rain, sometimes two or
three of them.”
The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 9tli inst.
says that “ the traditional personage ‘ the oldest inhabitant’
scarcely remembers so long a period of wet weather at this season
of the year.”
This is the very week that the signal service reports
Augusta “ clear and fair each day except one, which was cloudy, and
one light rain.”
A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph at
Wooten's Station (on the S. W. Railroad about ninety miles from
Macon) writing under date of the 12th of June, says : “ The pros¬
pect for the cotton planter is extremely gloomy. *****
We have had nearly an average of two showers a day for more
than two weeks, and now the windows of the heavens are open
and we have every prospect of the continuation of rain for two
weeks longer.”
South Carolina.—The Chronicle report with regard to South
Carolina was as follows:—“Leaving Georgia the storms passed
into South Carolina, it having rained every day at Charleston,but
we should judge less severely.”
We had intended to give extracts
from newspapers in the S;ate to confirm the above, but a letter re¬
ceived to-day from our correspondent at Charleston is so entirely
to the point that we think our critics will be satisfied without
anything further. Our correspondent writes under date of June
19th : “ I now reiterate what I telegraphed you under date of 9th
I do not mean,
inst., that it did rain every day during the week.
of course, that it rained continuously, but there was not a day, or
twenty-four hours, from the 2d to the 9tli of June that more or less
rain did not fall, sometimes very heavy showers, and at other
times light showers, sufficiently hard, however, to inconvenience
and delay
considerably, workmen engaged on out-door work.
What made me more particular in my observations in respect to
the weather during the week in dispute was the fact that some
workmen were engaged in repairing a house in a measure under
my direction, the work of which was delayed by the daily rains or
showers.” What more exact description of the weather for the week
at Charleston could have been given than the very words in our re¬
port quoted above f
We think it is hardly necessary to pursue this matter further.
It must be evident to every reader that our weather report of
June 10 was less than the truth rather than an exaggeration as
has been charged, and that the Signal Service report is no indica¬
tion of the weather through the week, and we suppose does not
pretend to be. We congratulate ourselves and our friends upon
this new proof of the reliability of the information which the
Chronicle always furnishes the Cotton trade.
.

Gunny Cloth.—The Cloth market has been remarkably quiet
since our last. We attribute the present dullness in the article to
the absence of a consumptive demand, and to the unfavorable re¬

ports in circulation as to the cotton crop. The improving accounts
current with regard to the crop during the past ten days have re¬

some

demand

for invoices

during the week, but nothing

moderately active. Buyers
market and operate closely
to their wants, and the transactions embrace a great many small chops, from
which jobbers can obtain a sufficient quantity to meet the distribution for a
week or two at least, as the movement of lines is also quite moderate. This
condition of the market, however, appears to have been expected by the
trade generally, and there is no great loss of confidence. A dull slow move¬
ment always brings with it something of a tame feeling on values, where odd
and irregular lots of goods are to be disposed of, but the majority of holders
are now quite as firm as early in the month, and have largely withdrawn their
supplies to await the revival of a demand. Choice grades in particular—either
Green, Black, or Japan—are looked upon with confidence, though all qualities
are thought likely to warrant holding, as the aggregate imports are but a
trifle in excess of last year.
Sales of 3,800 Greens, 1,100 Oolongs, 950 Sou¬
chongs, and 1,400 Japans.
There have been no imports of Tea this week.

There is no very decided change to note on the general position for the past
week, buyers still operating with moderation and caution, and holders of the
stocks finding nothing to induce them either to further concede or to ask an
advance for the present. There i^no doubt, however, of a firmer and more
confident, feeling on Brazils grades, and a belief not only in an ultimate full
recover}' from the preseut stagnation, but a considerable reaction in values,
which are now very much below the cost of importation. The late telegrams

were all of a very stimulating character,
announcing extremely moderate shipments to the United States and prices
strong, with almost a certainty of a decided falling oft' in the crop raised, and
holders here carry their supplies more hopefully. The general accumulation
here and along the seaboard just at the moment is large, and tends to increase
rather than diminish; and this, with a very slow distribution, has the effect to
counteract stimulating influences to a certain extent; but with hopes centered
more in the future than the present, sellers really seem to feel greater indiffer¬
ence than for many weeks.
The outports show a dull tone also, but prices
generally are reported as firm. Java has been quiet beyond a moderate

amount distributed from second hands.

Hlgliei.

There does not appear to be any special change to advise on the market for
foreign grades during the past week. The call from the interior is extremely
moderate, and this keeps the purchases of grocers confined to a few small odd
lots, just enough to show a fair assortment in store, while refiners, meeting
with no outlet for their oroduction, are quite indifferent, especially as nearly
all are well stocked on previous receipts, largely from a direct importation.
A first-class, high testing boiling cargo attracts some attention when offered,
but even this class of stock fails to move with the ordinary freedom, and as
■with the lower grades of refining goods must be parted with on corresponding
easy terms, if sold at all. Distilling qualities are not at present even men¬
tioned by either buyer or seller, and values are simply nominal. Domestic
has continued dull and nominal, though in reality the advantage is with the
buyer. The stocks are immense and cost pretty full rates, and holders'are of
course interested in keeping values up to the highest possible point, but with
the very small outlet and the continually increasing expenses, to say nothing
of an occasional additional arrival, the necessity for realizing frequently in¬
duces a concession in order to draw out business. Syrups are dull, but with¬
out further decided change in value, a portion of the stock in speculator’s
hands helping to sustain the position. Sugar House Molasses plenty, not very
active, and somewhat heavy at 18c. in hhds., and 22c. in bbls. Sales of 300

buyers have very little to say upon the position, contenting themselves with
meeting momentary necess’ties and quietly awaiting an increase of the distri¬
