steady expansion which this traffic is sure to

especially if it is a competing line, can work harm to an old
road, it is also true that the measure of damage which it
can inflict is not to be
guaged by the mere building of the
line. To do any material
damage, several requisites are
necessary; the new road must not only be in prime
condition, but it must have facilities for doing business^
and, more important, it must be able to command the
business. Clearly, it can not secure the traffic if the old
road is able to

only—for that, with some exceptions, was
severe than it has been in previous seasons of comparative
abundance—but to a height of temperature together with
accompanying the drought that was unprecedented and
marvelous.
And what is especially noteworthy is that
both these features were so prolonged, beginning to de¬
velop themselves over a considerable section way back
into May, and not breaking everywhere until late in
October.
During all the summer months, however there
were severe local showers, more particularly along the
coast line, which gave an appearance of an average amount
rainfall and helped to mislead the observer.
For in¬
stance,—at Wilmington, North Carolina, the rainfall for
the four months beginning with June was 24*37 inches,
while over a large part of the interior of the State (an im¬
portant portion of the cotton-growing section) it only
averaged 5-90 inches for the same four months, and very
much less than that at some points in that district.
As to temperature, the higher range was almost universal
and uninterrupted.
To present this feature to the reader
at a glance, we have prepared the following averages for
each State for three years, but would refer to the detailed
tables which we shall give from month to month as the
safer guide, since this statement of averages cannot dis¬
close local differences which were sometimes quite decided.

age, our investigations disclose the same feature which has
been reported generally by all authorities through the
spring, and which distinguishes the season’s agricultural
industry in many of the States of the South—and. that is
a prevailing tendency this year, especially in what may be
called the grain-producing Southern States, to extend the
cultivation of food products.
There is, however, danger that too much importance may
be given to this fact, for the hasty conclusion of many is
that cotton acreage and cereal- acreage are all the time
changing, the one at the expense of the other. That is
to say, that if corn planting is enlarged, cotton planting is
diminished.

there is, as this year, such a special impulse to enlarge
cereal cultivation, because the impulse is not in the pres¬

Mississippi.—Except in the sections which suffered fiom the
flood, the early spring this year was more favorable for farm
work in this State than last year. In the flooded portions
planting was delayed, yet cotton acreage does not seem to have
been materially lessened on that account. The "seed came up
well almost everywhere, but its early growth was slow, and
greatly delayed by tlie low temperature, especially in tno more
northern sections.
The fields, however, were well worked
and the recent forcing weather has given the plant a good
start.
The Stand and condition now, though in some sec¬

presumption to say that any ordinary disposition to
extend cultivation in a special direction cannot do much
more than occupy the year’s new land put into production.
In other words, instead of the usual natural growth in both
directions, the tendency would be satisfied by a suspension
of development in the one and by an absorbtion of the
entire new area for both by the other.

could these figures show so large a development in each

The figures for 1831 and 1880 are from Corsicana.
There is
nothing to add with regard to the rainfall state¬
ment, except that it explains the reason for the report,
which is almost universal, that the fields are very clean,
and well worked.
We shall publish the figures for June
as soon as obtained, but the following brings the record
down to June 1.

decrease in acreage for the whole
South of 1-55 per cent.
In the opening of this report
we have given the
total production of each State since
1870.
With that table and the above acreage table, the
following becomes of use, indicating as it does the yield
per acre of each State, and enabling one intelligently to
estimate (as the season progresses, and comparison is
made with similar weather and production for other sea¬
sons) the possibilities of this year.
This shows

In the first place there has been this

The
position of the money market has not materially changed
since this day week. In fact, the market has been devoid of
any important feature, but a tendency to ease has been
apparent. For short loans, the rate of interest is only 2 per
cent per annum,
while the rate of discount for three and four
months’ bank bills is only 2]4 per cent, with somewhat frequent
indications of
any immediate change in the money market, though there is
still an impression in some quarters that before long higher
rates will be current. It is difficult, however, to perceive what
will be the cause of the upward movement, as the state of the
demand, present and prospective, appears to be such as to
a belief in a stationary market.

Foreign Exchange.—The market for foreign exchange was
strong enough to admit of the shipment of $1,420,000 gold by
the mid-week 'steamers, or at least not weak enough
to pre¬
vent it.
To-day there is little doing, and the tone is rather
weak, the actual rates on prime bankers’ 60 days sterling bills
being 4 85%@4 86 and for demand 4 88%@4 88%, with cable
transfers 4 89@4 89%, and prime commercial bills 4 84%@4

United States Bonds.—There has been rather more activity
government bonds and some movement in the 3% per cents,
owing to the passage of the amended bank charter bill in the
in
Senate.
The eleventh section
how
reads
as
follows:
Sec. 11. That the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to
receive at the Treasury any bonds of the United States
bearing; 34 per
centum interest, and to issue in
exchange therefor an equal amount of
registered bonds of the United States of the denominations of $50, $LOO,
$500, $1,000 and $10,000, of such form as he may prescribe, beariug
interest at the rate of 3 per centum per annum, payable
quarterly at the
Treasury of the United States. Such bonds shall be exempt from all
taxation by or under State authority, and be payable
at the pleasure of
the United States; provided that the bonds kereiu authorized shall not
must be paid
hence all the
named it was known that there was dissension in the board
of directors and that two members had resigned.
This led to
all sorts of damaging rumors, which, however, met with a
persistent denial at
the office, and an assertion that the
paid.
But even if it is paid,
suspicion that * it is like the
Wabash dividend of November, 1881.
The Denver & Rio
Grande stock, having
passed its dividends, is easily de¬
pressed, and the increased obligations are not known to be
balanced by a corresponding increase in net earnings. The
St. Paul-stock is stronger than last week, and it is reported on
good authority that Mr. Vanderbilt has recently bought quite
a block of it; it is also stated quite positively at the office that
the 10 per cent stock to be issued against undivided profits
will be distributed as a stock dividend. We regret to say that
last week we were misled by a very direct and positive state¬
ment published that a leading director had made quite a dif¬
ferent assertion.
The account even gave the report of a per¬
sonal interview and the very words used, but it has since been
flatly contradicted by the director in question.
The Philadelphia & Reading movement has been i mong the
great events of the week, and the stock has been exctptionally
strong and active, as well as the bonds. The prospectus for a
loan of $13,000,000 of the new five per cent consolidated mort¬
gage was issued Friday morning, but as to actual work ac¬
complished by Mr. Gowen the public yet has absolutely no
certain information, and amid the bushels of rumors the only
grain yet of solid hard fact consists in the cash now being
paid out on the over-due coupons, as above stated.
At the N. J. Central election to-day Mr. E. C. Knight voted
98,000 shares, and the following is the ticket elected:
Henry S. Little, John Kean, Edward Clark, Sidney Shepard,
Samuel Sloan, Robert Garrett, Franklin B. Gowen, Theodore
F. Randolph and Edward C. Knight.

line adopted of 142 miles. The

Mr. Milbank denies that he ever made any such statement.
The remarks upon the subject made in another department
of the Chronicle, last week, were based upon the assumption
that Mr. Milbank’s reported account was true, as there was
then no reason to disbelieve it.
As to the facts, Mr. Wadsworth now states that “the stock¬
holders at their annual meeting authorized the directors to
issue of the common stock 20 per cent pro rata to the common
and preferred stockholders—50 per cent to be paid for in cash
and the other 50 per cent on account of net undivided income.
The issue will probably be made in October.”

Manhattan Elevated Roads.—Governor Cornell has dis¬
approved the bill adjusting the taxes on the Elevated railroads
in New York and relieving them from a large amount charged
against them. The Governor filed the following memorandum,
giving his reasons for not approving the bill : “Objections to
the enactment of this measure have been made by the Mayor,
Comptroller and Corporation Counsel of the city of New York,
which appear to be well founded and sustained. The courts
are now dealing with the principal questions involved, and it
is far better that a solution should be reached by judicial
determination than by the arbitrary legislation proposed in
this bill.”

said : “The stockholders of the Memphis & Charleston

The weather has continued in general very favorable to the
the crops.
Storms, however, have done local dam¬
and rains in the Ohio Valley have been somewhat exces¬
sive. But there is little reason to complain of the situation
and prospects. The trade of this city is greatly embarrassed
by a strike of workingmen engaged in handling freight at the
railroad depots. The strikes of iron-workers at the West con¬
tinue, and there is much disturbance among operatives in other
branches of industry—quite unsettling what may be termed the
labor market.” S#me progress is made in lowering the cost
of living, and this, if continued, with the needs of both parties,'
will no, doubt soon lead to an adjustment of the disputes be¬
tween “ labor and capital.”
The provision market has been further advanced and a better
speculation iu pork and lard has taken place. Lard has been
particularly active and at the close a buoyant feeling prevails.
Pork sold on the spot at $20 for old and $21 25 for new mess ;
July options were quoted at $20 85@$21; August, $20 95@
$21 10 bid and asked. Lard sold on the spot very sparingly at

ot
Egypt and tlieir possible effect on early sup¬
plies to the West of Europe were the chief elements of
strength. Yesterday, with a decided improvement at Liver¬
pool, the opening was buoyant, but the early advance was not
maintained. To-day the advance of
yesterday was fully lost
under dull foreign advices and sales to
realize, but the close
was steady.
Cotton on the spot lias been fairly active for
export, with some speculation, but there has been less
doing
for home consumption.
Quotations were advanced l-16c. on
Wednesday and again on Thursday. To-day the market was
quiet and rather weak, middling uplands closing at 12 5-16c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the
week are 490,800
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot
up this week
14,811 bales, including 10,637 for export, 2,505 for
consumption,

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

constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the years named.

transactions noted last week have been
on a moderate scale as a
rule, though on one or two days they reached quite a fair
aggregate. The speculation a few days ago was active, but
latterly has been confined to comparatively moderate limits.
Prices show some advance for options during the week, as also
for elevator wheat on the spot, but boat-loads for export have
declined. To-day the market was l@l^c. higher and fairly
active; No. 2 red sold at $1 44@$145% for June, $1 27#$1 28%
for July, $119@$1 20 for August, $1 18@$1 19 for
September
and $1 19%@$1 20% for October ; “ cash" wheat in elevator
sold at $1 44@$l 45, but lots for export “free on board" could
have been obtained at much less.

depression and a decline, owing to improved crop
prospects; but as this led to some farther covering by the
shorts, there was a recovery, and prices again advanced, the
rise also being aided by the advance in wheat, with which the
corn market invariably sympathizes.
To-dav the market was

Kye has been quiet, and easier in price. Oats have been
quiet on the spot, but options have been fairly active, and the
moderate supply here and the scarcity at the West have
caused an advance. To-day the market was again higher ; No.
