Our readers will remember it well. It was in 1874 and following years. The panic was-a thing of the past, but our wretched currency system had- cast its blighting influence over all industries, leaving us without enterprise and at length without hope. How almost uni¬ versal was the verdict then; that railroad building in this country had been pressed in advance of its wants fully half a century. Our wisest judges believed this so abso¬ lutely, that it was a matter of common daily discussion, what form investments would take in the future. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

No account is yet taken in the statement of the 3J continued bonds, but it shows that of the 25 million 5s of 1881, called February 21, all have been surrendered except $5,741,150. The amount to be disbursed for interest on the 4Js and extended 5s, and for pensions, will doubtless exceed 12 millions by the middle of the month.

The value of the breadthe largest imports ever made in any one month in the stuffs exports at this port in April this year was $1,910,history of the country. This year imports were on a nor¬ 228 less than in April last year, and on account of provi¬ mal scale, though yet large—reflecting in this the natural sions there was a loss of $3,468,987, making together growth in our demand, consequent upon the increased $5,379,215. The decrease in these items being more than activity in trade and our enlarged purchasing power. a million dollars greater than the total decrease, it follows Nevertheless, the total was over 15 millions smaller in that there must have been quite an increase in other April, 1881, than in April, 1880. The exports were articles of export; and, in point of fact, we observe that about the same in both years ($70,560,538 and $70,881,- the shipments of cotton show a gain of more than 20,000 160 in April, 1880 and 1881, respectively), so that to the bales, though prices of course were much lower. At Balti¬ diminished imports is to be attributed the change to a more the value of the exports drops from $6,958,163 to favorable balance this year, in the amount already given. $4,340,018, or $2,618,145. Breadstuffs and provisions The movement of gold this way during the month was account for $1,864,093 of this diminution. Cotton entailed heavy. The imports were $15,330,980, and the exports a further decrease, as aside from the decline in price there only $88,693, leaving a balance of imports of $15,242,- was a contraction of one-half (about 6,700 bales) in the 287. Of silver we imported $854,711, and exported quantity shipped at that point. Philadelphia shows a loss of $2,033,497, an excess of exports of $1,178,786. Taking about one million dollars in its total exports, to be gold and silver together there is an excess of imports of attributed entirely to the decline in the value of its bread$14,063,501. This wipes out the merchandise balance of stuffs and provisions shipments. The exports at Boston have risen from $5,622,400 to $11,727,546, and leaves an excess of imports on mer¬ chandise and specie of $2,335,955. Possibly some one $6,439,194. In the breadstuffs exports at that port there may infer from this that we have been receiving more was a gain of $392,903 and in the provisions exports a gold than the state of our trade warranted. That does loss of $302,901, leaving a net gain'of only $90,000 on not necessarily follow. The figures given cover only one these two items. But there must have been a very decided month, and one month by itself can hardly be taken as a gain in the value of the cotton exports, as there was an guide. If we refer to the figures for the ten months increase of almost 10,000 bales on April, 1880, or more ended April 30 we find that the merchandise balance of than 100 per cent. New Orleans has increased its exports from exports amounts to $246,606,423, of which only $92,687,. $8,174,377 to $11,275,782. It might be supposed 271 has been that the paid for in specie. On the other hand, these greater part of this increase was in the item of matter figures are to be taken only as indicating that the breadstuffs, in view of the large amounts of grain going April exhibit is an exceptional one. They do not en¬ down the Mississippi in barges from St. Louis. This is lighten us as to the actual state of things. To be sure, not the case. Of the total increase of $3,101,405, only there remains a large apparent balance in our favor, but how $685,692 was in breadstuffs. The provisions exports at much of it, if any, is real, can not be determined, even this port are so small they are not worth mentioning. approximately. There are a great many factors that have Referring to cotton, we find there was a very heavy to taken into the account.

York will be shown to have had a larger proportion of the Com still shows a large decrease in both quantity and whole than it had in April, because the movement of value, while wheat and wheat flour are again increased, cotton was lighter, about 270,000 bales having been exported although wheat not in value, on account of the lower in May, against more than 430,000 in April, the shipments prices ruling this year. The total value of the breadstuffs of cotton of course being mostly from ports other than exports was $20,426,014 in April, 1881, and $22,705,074 New York.

' So says the Court of Appeals Persons specially interested in. this subject should also in the case just decided, of Platt vs. Munson. examine the recent act of February 5, 1880, (Laws, chap. The case arose out of the foreclosure of a mortgage of 5.) It purports to authorize the fiscal officers of a railroad the Sodus Bay & Corning Railroad Company. This was company to issue, after a foreclosure sale, certificates of a small enterprise organized in 1870, upon a capital of stock to persons who were previously entitled to, but had about a million and a half, to run a road from Sodus Bay, never received them. The act, as' printed in the statute a point of not very great geographical i-inportance on the book, seems wholly obscure and unmeaning ; though it Lake Ontario, southerly to Corning, a may perhaps be rendered operative by striking out the notable station on the Erie Railway. It must not be word “provided” or the word “when,” from the middle confounded with the Sodus Point & Southern road, since of section one. Apparently some draughtsman intended merged in the Lake Ontario Southern. Apparently some to substitute one of these words for the other, and independent line to New York city was contemplated, for neglected to strike out the one to be rejected; or the error the company was formed as the Sodus Bay Corning & may have occurred in type-setting. Irrespective of this, New York Railroad; but, in 1872, the Legislature allowed the law has this bearing on the subject, that it is a legisla¬ it to change its name so as to read the Sodus Bay & tive recognition, subsequent to 1874, of continued rights Corning Railroad. As so frequently happened in those of shareholders in companies whose property and franchises days, the plan and expenditure was commenced on an have been sold on foreclosure; to be secured, apparently, over sanguine scale; a large loan was obtained on a in some winding-up of the old corporation. mortgage of the road and franchises; this mortgage was south shore of foreclosed. But when road is sold COTTON under foreclosure, what becomes of the interests of stockholders of the original company ? Mr. Platt, one of the old Sodus Bay & Corning corporators, thought he had a right to come in as member of any new organization. An act of 1853 (Laws of New York, chap. 502, sec. 2) declared that any stock¬ holder of a railroad foreclosed upon, should have the right, for six months after sa1^, to redeem proportion ably; that is, he might offer to pay to the purchaser such proportion of the price paid on the foreclosure sale as his; shares might bear to the whole capital stock, and might demand the same relative interests in the property. In practice this has been found very inconvenient. Upon the fore¬ closure of the old Oswego Midland it became an embar¬ rassing issue, and it was reported that $300,000 was paid to extinguish the supposed right to redeem. Mr. Platt demanded this right in the Sodus Bay case. The pur- ■ chaser refused to recognize it. And the Court of Appeals has sustained the purchaser’s position. There has not been, indeed, an}^ distinct repeal of the law of 1853, but the Court holds that it must be deemed repealed by implication, because laws passed in 1854 and 1874 are inconsistent with it, and provide a new and different way for proceeding after these foreclosures (Laws 1854, chap. 282; laws 1874, chap. 4 30). . The leading feature of the plan they indicate is, that a new corporation shall be formed to own and operate the road; and the Court holds that this is inconsistent with, and therefore supersedes, the former rule by which the title to the property must be a held open for six months to allow old shareholders to decide whether they will come in. This is the view we took of the question when it was under discussion in the Oswego Midland case. Judge Danforth ing one.

THE LAND LEAGUE\ regarding the situation in Ireland indi¬ ; and the peasantry, backed up by the Land League, are not only setting the law at defiance, but setting up a law of their own. Collisions between the peasantry and the police are of constant occurrence ; and the Government, it is said, is contem¬ plating the complete suppression of the League. Mr. Gladstone and his associates in the ministry know well that they will not be readily forgiven, if as the result of excessive leniency, they allow Ireland to drift into a condition of anarchy. The presumption, therefore, is, that the rumor is well founded that that portion of her Majes¬ ty’s dominions will, if the collisions continue, be placed under military rule.

Mr. Parnell and his Land League are alone responsible. The League has been from the first the fruitful parent of resistance and obstruction ; and, if now, at this late hour, it should be suppressed and the country placed under military rule, Mr. Parnell and his associates can blame no one but themselves. They demand reform in the land laws ; and they make it impossible for the Government to accede in any reasonable way to their request. Mx.

In a word, there wras the immediate prospect of such heavy disbursements by the Treasury up to August 12 as would throw on the market a superabundance of loanable funds, and after that date the gradual disburse¬ ment of perhaps $65,000,000 more during the autumn, in payment for bonds to be called or purchased for the sink¬ ing fund. The support lent to the Stock Exchange markets by the monetary prospect was well backed up by the great body of railroad capitalists and operators who were heavily interested in the floating of new bonds and stocks—whether of watered stocks or income bonds representing clear profits to the holders, or new bonds on railroads in process of construction, sold in the open market for cash. The money market was easier and easier as the month progressed, and on call loans the rates on the different classes of collaterals were 2@4 per cent. Time loans for two to four months were made at 2£@3£ per cent, and prime commercial paper sold at 3@4 per cent. Investment securities of all sorts were in great demand, and many of them rose to the highest prices ever made ; United States fours of 1907 sold up to 11SJ. Railroad bonds advanced materially wherever their prices were not already so high as to leave no margin for a further rise. In speculative stocks and bonds the business was mod¬ erately active, but the volume of transactions was not up ‘ periods of stock speculation. There were great combinations, negotia¬ tions and law-suits in progress, which engaged the atten¬ tion of many of the heaviest operators. Also, the floating of new stocks and bonds was the favorite game of the day, as an easy source of large profits, rather than the oldfashioned method of heavy bull or bear movements at the Stock Exchange. The bears in stocks were temporarily disheartened, too, as the plethera of money had given a strength to prices which more than overbalanced in the market the well-known loss of earnings on the western railroads from January to April inclusive. The general tone of the stock market in the latter part of May was one of great strength. Foreign exchange made a considerable advance up to the middle of the month, and the bankers even talked of a possible export of specie; but, from the 15th, rates fell off, to the standard of the most rampant and the outward movement of railroad market to Europe was so securities from this large that it more than balanced cent government bonds sent the return of five and six per home for redemption.

Mich [VOL. XXXII. England' have not seen their to making a further reduction in the Bank rate this week, consequently the minimum quotation remains at 2/£ per There has been a somewhat increased demand for money, chiefly in connection with the new Hungarian loan, which has been largely applied for, and the Bank of England return shows a considerable improvement under the head of “ other securities.” This increase cannot be due to improved trade, as the general business of the country remains much in the same condition, and hence it is inferred that the directors of the Bank of England have been granting greater facilities to the Stock Exchange. The supply of floating capital in the Lon¬ don market, taken in conjunction with the limited trade de¬ mand for accommodation, justifies, no doubt,.a reduction of the Bank rate to 2 per cent; but on the other hand the Conti¬ nental money markets are in advance of ours, and already have a large number of bills been remitted to this market for dis¬ count. This fact has, no doubt, induced the Bank authorities to hesitate before making a change, and the course they have adopted is obviously judicious. At the same time, the New York money market presents an easy appearance, and the sup¬ ply of gold on passage to this country is larger than for a long time past, being about £800,000. With the usual limited trade demand for money during the summer months, the con¬ tinuance of an easy money market seems to be assured; but should the directors of the Bank of England decide on lower¬ ing their rate of discount to 2 per cent, it will be largely with the object of affording to merchants all the facilities available. General trade is by no means active, and the recent failures in Amsterdam and Mincing Lane lead to the belief that some un¬ soundness exists. The iron trade is by no means in a satisfac¬ tory state, but the weather has been more favorable for the crops, and some stimulus is expected to be given to general trade. Foreign politics have, however, produced some distrust, the Tunis affair and the state of Russia having been the causes of some anxiety. Should, however, the political events which have recently manifested themselves cease to induce politicians to believe that there is anything perilous in them, we may hope, if we should have a good harvest and reasonably cheap food, for more activity in commerce.

The case, arose out of a difference of opinion as to the construction of the charter of the Union Pacific Railroad Com¬ pany. The government has maintained that it has the right to fix the rate at which the road shall carry the mails under gen¬ eral powers and has declined to pay more than'a certain sum. The road has maintained that by its charter it has the right to charge the government the same as it does private parties for namely, for express cars.

The tone of confidence now prevalent at the Stock Exchanges has seldom been equaled, and this is in striking con¬ trast with the first of June last year, when we were in the midst of one of the worst, and at the same time one of the most senseless, depressions in the stock market tha thad ever been experienced.

There is nothing fictitious in sold so high as in other words, when first-class borrowers were able to obtain money at such low rates. Yesterday the State of Ohio borrowed $2,800,000 on bonds the average length of time of which is less than four years, at a rate little above 3 per cent per annum ; the bonds nominally bear 4 per cent annual interest, but the premium at which they sold brings the rate which the money costs the State down to a little over 3 percent.

As to any bearish tendency on the market, perhaps it position of those who are inclined that that they feel it is a dangerous time to fjell short, rather than admit that prices, in their opinion, are not too high. There are times when the possibility of working prices up ten or fifteen points on particular stocks is such an easy task that short sales become dangerous, whatever the range of prices may be. As to the other side, the bulls, they claim that there is no reason for any decline in the market before August anyhow, as the usual influences of monetary ease, active support, &c., are all against it, and by August, if the crop returns are very good, there will be tlie basis for a new upward turn. In particular stocks there have been less important movements than usual. The elevated stocks are all comparatively strong, on rumors of a pool in the stocks and also on the prospect of a sharp fight against the Attorney-General in his suit for a receivership of the Manhattan Company. The plan of a Chicago line for the Erie Road appears to be well matured, and the financial measures already perfected. The parallel opposition line of Lake Shore from Buffalo to Chicago is also under con¬ struction, and the trunk line facilities to the West are certainly destined to be increased. The Reading litigation, it is hoped, will be terminated with the present refusal of the Supreme Court to grant Mr. Gowen a re-argument. The market to-day was fairly aetive, and prices at the close would better define the way, to say showed a little weakness. 602 LHE CHRONICLE. [VOL. XXXII. RANGE IN PRICES AT THE N. Y.

Chicago & Pacific.—Over a year since Robert Law filed a bill in the Superior Court against the Chicago & Pacific-Rail¬ road Company to restrain it from mortgaging or leasing its road to the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. At a stockholder’s meeting it was voted to give the mortgage lease in defiance of the injunction. A supplemental bill was then filed making the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Company a co-defendant. A demurrer was then filed to the supplemental bill by the Chicago & Pacific upon which the validity of the mortgage and lease was argued. On May 28, Judge Jameson overruled the demurrer, holding in substance that the Chicago & Pacific Company had no power to execute the mortgage and lease because a domestic corporation had no authority under the statutes of this State to lease its road to a foreign corpora¬ tion. The question as to the validity of the stockholders’ acts was not passed upon. The defendants were given time in which to decide whether they would stand by their demurrer or pro¬ ceed to the trial of the case.— Chicago Inter-Ocean.

The lease of the Mo. Kansas & Texas to the Mo. Pacific Rail¬ road Company for 09 years was ratified by the M. K. & T. stockholders at their late meeting, as reported at the time in the Chronicle. The Missouri Kansas & Texas already had a lease of the International & Great Northern Road, and in ad¬ dition to that lease holds nearly all of the International stock, which it purchased by the issue of its own stock, two shares for one. No copy of the M. K. & T. lease to the Mo. Pacific has been published, but from official sources we learn that the lease is for 99 years; the Mo. Pacific is to operate the M. K. & T. road and keep it in repair; the lessee assumes no liability for mortgage interest, but is to apply the net earnings of the road, after all the expenses of operating and maintenance, to the payment of interest on the general consolidated mortgage bonds and all prior liens, and pay over the balance, if any, to the M. K. & T. Company, to be applied to the payment of interest on the second mortgage income, or ether bonds, or for such other purposes as the board of directors may deem proper. If there is any deficit in the income, so that it is insufficient to pay the obligatory interest on the mortgage bonds, the Missouri Pacific may, at its option, advance the necessary amount to pay such interest, and such advances will be a charge against the M. K. & T. Company; or in case of failure to make such advance for a period of .six months after interest becomes due, the M. K. & T. Com¬ pany is to be entitled to possession of the railway and cancel¬ lation of lease. Although this lease is for 99 years, it is understood that it is likely to be a temporary arrangement, reliminary to a consolidation of the Gould properties of the outhwest. The foregoing sufficiently explains the press dis¬ 613 fiven foraccount the company for the $291,117. The suit was for money of carrying mails. United States ue on Pennsylvania Railroad.—The Philadelphia Press reports Pennsylvania Railroad Company has made arrange¬ that the ments for the issue of a new four per cent loan to the amount of $10,000,000, the proceeds of which will be used to. pay for the Philadelphia Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad stock. The directors had power to issue stock for the full amount of the purchase money—some $1.8,000,000—but they chose to raise more than half that amount by loan. The promoters of the loan will be Messrs. Drexel & Co., and Messrs. Kidder, Peabody & Co., who take it, it was privately rumored, at 95. The form of the loan is a four per cent registered bond, running forty years from July 1,1881. Every year $260,000 of the bonds will be drawn by lot, paid and cancelled. The Pennsylvania Rail¬ road Company will deposit as collateral for the loan 200,000 shares of Philadelphia Wilmington & Baltimore stock. Petersburg Railroad.—Messrs. R. H. Maury & Co., of Rich¬ mond, Va., say in their circular that “the Court has directed that the road, instead of being sold, should be returned to the stock¬ holders. The election of Major Myers as President assures con¬ tinued good and careful management.” * * “ The earnings for the twelve months just ended were $307,000, against $222,000 for last year and $196,000 for the year before. In April, 1881, they were $53,000, against 21,979 for April, 1880, and the cash Receiver’s hands on the 1st of the present month was As the line is well located, with easy curves and grades, it is operated at a minimum rate of expense, say about 50 per cent of its earnings.

COTTON. Qlxt (JTcmxmcrcial jinxes. COMMERCIAL EPITOME. Friday Night, June 3,1881. Trade, for this 3tage of the season, is exceptionally good; in fact, it would seem that in some staples the autumn season has already opened. Needed rains over a wide area have improved the prospects for cereal crops, though in sections it is claimed that they have injured cotton somewhat. There appears to be no apprehension of disaster to mercantile circles from any source, and the prospects of business for the remainder of 1881 are as favorable as could be reasonably expected.

The speculation in cotton for future delivery has been more acj-ive__and at times quite excited—during the week under review, and there has been an important advance in prices. The reports of excessive rains in the Southwest contained in the last Chronicle were supplemented on Tuesday by accounts of severe hailstorms in Texas and rain in the valley of the Mississippi River. Liverpool accounts were tame until Wednesday, when an upward tendency began to be shown, and the advance here was shared more fully by the next crop.

The above figures indicate an increase in the cotton in sight to-night of 377,265 bales as compared with the same date of 1880, an increase of 899,535 bales as compared with 1879 and an in¬ crease of 577,229 bales as compared with 1878. In the preceding visible supply table we have heretofore only included the interior stocks at the seven original interior towns. As we did not have the record of the new interior towns for the four years, we could not make a comparison in any other way. That difficulty no longer exists, and we therefore make the fol¬ lowing comparison, which includes the stocks at the nineteen towns given weekly in our table of interior stocks instead of only the old seven towns.

Thus he has been getting the equivalent of 2d. more for his crop this year than what he used to get teu or twelve years ago; and, with a full crop, 3hid. on an average would pay him sufficiently well to make- him sow a full crop, and even 3d. would not make much difference, as it is one of his rotation crops. v The question is, then, whether it would pay your American planters, were rates to go down to 8e. or thereabouts—a question which you will be better able to answer than your obedient servant, years ago C.

Cost of Raising Cotton in India.—The following we are very glad to give because of the information it contains, althoug we do not remember publishing the quotation cited. Akola Berar, East India, April 23,1881. To the Editor of the Xew York Commercial and Fin ancial Chronicle. Sir:—The Manchester Examiner and Times bad sometime ago an abstract from your paper quoting a passage from the Vicksburg Herald regarding the present and next American crop. The said paper says: “ Now, let us firmly resolve to raise a 13-million orop. The world can only stand such a crop once, and other countries will have to give up growing cotton,” or words to that effect. The Vieksburg paper makes one mistake there, seemingly. Omitting tho question of price, and assuming that it interests you to know down to what rate it will pay the Indian ryot, or peasant, to grow cotton, I address this letter to you. Practically, it matters little what the price is; for, as I am assured by intelligent agriculturists, the ryot will sow cotton in rotation, no matter what he gets for it. His expenses are very small, and if he only covers them he would be content. However, he would if others paid him better, and the question is. therefore, what would pay him sufficiently to induce him to sow a full share of cotton 1 Now, since I came here into the Berar or Oomraotee districts, thirteen years ago, cotton has paid the grower better and better year by year, in measure as the profits of the buyer up country, the exporter, the shipper, tho agent at home, etc., were more and more cut down, and this is a fact that you should bear in mind when calculating upon driving Indian cotton out of the market. Thus, thirteen of course reduce the crop 1881. 3^’80. Feet. Inch. 5 7 15 11 10 5 9 5 3 23 1880. 1879. 1878. 1877. 1876.
