The leading feature of the 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 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 now says: 282; laws 1874, chap. 430), plan they indicate is, that a " The statute of 1853 does not contemplate the formation of a new company.

Again, the Act of 1874 secures to the stockholders in the old company a right to participate in the benetUs of reorganization in one event only— when the title is acquired to the railroad property and franchises pursuant to some plan or agreement for the readjustment of the respective interests therein of mortgage creditors and stockholders in the ohi company. This provision also is inconsistent witli the rigiit embraced in the second section of the Act of 1853. It seems to us that these acts were inteaded by the legislature to iug'one. ; 1.

From our own correspondent. 4-85 I LoifDON. Saturday, May 21, 1881. The directors of the Bank of England have not seen their way to making a further reduction in the Bank rate this week, and consequently the minimum quotation remains at 2/^ per cent. 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 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 securities."

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 supply 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 continuance of an easy money market seems to be assured; but should the directors of the Bank of England decide on lowering their rate of discount to 2 per cent, it will be largely with 60,5 18,273 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 unsoundness exists.

Foreign politics have, however, produced some distrust, the Tunis affair and the state of Russia having been the causes of some anxiety.

There has been a slight fall of rain, but although it has been insufficient, it has done a vast amount of good. The weather has again become brilliant and the temperature is higher. The crops are making satisfactory progress, but those newly sown still require more moisture. On the whole, however, the prospect is regarded as satisfactory. The trade for all kinds of grain has been exceedingly slow, and holders have had to submit to a slight redaction in prices in order to effect sales. During the week ended May 14, the sales of home-grown wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales amounted to a4,110 quarters, against 26,793 quarters last year, and 57,209 quarters in 1879 ; while it is computed that they were in thfi whole kingdom 136,440 quarters, against 107,200 quarters and 228,850 quarters. Since harvest the sales in the 150, principal markets have been 1,360,135 quarters, against 1,121,895 quarters in the previous season and 2,031,487 quarters in 1878-9 ; the estimate for the whole kingdom being 5,440,540 quarters, against 4,527,700 quarters and 8,130,000 quarters in the two previous seasons respectively. Without reckoning the supplies of produce furnished ex-granary at the commenceseason, it is estimated that the following quantities of wheat and flour have been placed upon the British markets since harvest.

British railway exports of cereal produce into, and the exports from, the United shares, which were rather unsettled in the early part of the Kingdom during the first thirty-eight weeks of the season, compared with the corresponding period in the three previous week, are now firm. j The new Hungarian of 75^ per cent, is not 4 per cent loan of £16,000.000, at the price an addition to the Hungarian debt. It has been issued for the purpose of redeeming the six per cents, and the operation having been placed in powerful hands, it has been a complete success. The financial position of the AustroHungarian Empire has undoubtedly improved of late years.

The court held that the company is entitled to no more compensation for that service than is paid to any other railroads, and that its charter confers upon it no special rights to demand a higher May 31 against the The case arose out of a difference of opinion as to the construction of the charter of fha Union Pacific Railroad Company. The government has maintained that it has the right to nx the rate at which the road shall carry the mails under general 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 similar services, namely, for express cars. In that way the charter only gives the government the right to priority in transmission. The company recently sued the government for some $1,200,000 which it is claimed the Treasury Department has wrongfully withheld in violation of its charter. Messrs.

We say one of the most senseless depressions, because the stock panic of May and June, 1880, was bi ought about almost entirely by influences exerted directly on the market for speculative purposes while the railroad earnings were large beyond precedent, and the condition of the country was one of undoubted prosperity. But the truth is that we had not then grown up to a realizing sense of the developments which were actually in progress, and it would have been almost impossible to force the stock decline of May, 1880, could the market have then had before it, chalked up on its blackboard, the actual figures for 1880 as they were known at the end of the year the production of wheat, corn and cotton, the railroad earnings, the returns of immigration, land sales, &o. These general influences may not affect the stock fluctuations of a single day, but in the long run they tell, and not a railroad stock or bond is floated in New York or London which is not in truth marketed by the assistance of ; — these material considerations. There is nothing flctitions in the talk of a rapid and wondergrowth in the country, which must have a favorable bearing ful upon railroad and other property but as upon stock prices, the great danger arises ; and discounting it it to its direct bearing in over-estimating the enormously, so that the price is put to be in 1895 or 1900, if every- ought prosperous and happy in the meantime. of England statement on Thursday showed a decrease of £33,000 in specie for the week, and the reserve was 45% per cent of liabilities, against 45 15-16 per cent last week ; the discount rate remains at 2;!^ per cent. The Bank of France showed an increase for the week of 500,000 francs gold and thing is The Bank 1,650,000 francs silver. The last statement of the New York City Clearing-House banks, Lssued May 28, showed a decrease in the surplus above legal reserve of !:!2,015,675, the total surplus being $14,722,900, against $16,738,575 the previous week.

State bonds have been onlr moderately active. The Tennessees are awaiting further developments in the suit against the State authorities, and one report said that the officers would disregard the injunction, claiming that they were not legally bound by it. In Virginia the meeting of a reaajusters' convention is not calculated to exert a favorable influence for the moment, but it is possible that their movements may develope so much of weakness as to fortify the position of the bondholders. Railroad bonds show a large business, distributed throughout the list. Boston Hartford & Erie bonds, which are merely the equivalent of 'New York and New England stock, have led[ the list in activity, closing at 85. Erie second consols have also been active and higher, selling ex-coupon at 106. The Ecening Post money article, to-day, says " We neve r remember the time when flrst-class investments sold so high a s now, or, 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 per cent. The telegraph reports that the State of Missouri recently made a short temporary loan at plain 3 per cent. The New York New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company recently borrowed $1,200,000 on its Portchester & Harlem RR. branch at 4 per cent ; the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad also recently sold $5,000,000 4 per cent bonds, which are now ruling at about par. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have also recently issued a $10,000,000 collateral trust loan, secured by their recent purchase of a controlling interest in the Philadelphia Baltimore & Wilmington Railroad Company's stock, which bears 4 per cent, and which will doubtless be sought by investors at par as soon as : ; offered.''

The stock market has been somewhat variable in tone, but, upon the whole, prices have been well sustained, and the prevalent feeling is one of confidence. As to any bearish tendency on the market, perhaps it would better define the position of those who are inclined that way, to say that they feel it is a dangerous time to sell 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 the basis for a new upward turn. In particular stociks 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 receiv^rship 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 construction, and the trunk line facilities to the West are certainJT destined to be increased. The Reading litigation, it is hoped, will be terminated with the present refusju of the Supreme Court to grant Mr. G-owen a re-argument. The market to-day was fairly active, and prices at the close showed a little weakness. — . . . - ... THE CHRONICLE. 602 IN PRICES AT RANGE THE [Vol, XXXIl. STOCK EXCHANGE FOR THE WEEK, AND SINCE JAN.

A demurrer was then filed to the supplemental bill by the Chicago & Pacific upon which the validity of the mortgage and lease was aiguea. 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: — The question tion. as to the validity of the stockholders' acts was not passed upon.

Missouri Kansas & Texas— Mlssonrl Prtclflc, Etc.— Western newspaper, deeply impressed by the magnitnde of Mr. Gould's railroad combinations in the Southwest, entitles its d." This Western style is article on the subject, " Gbbat G brief but forcible, and at the present motnent it probably expresses with tolerable correctness the prevailing sentiment in Missouri &c The' lease of the Mo. Kansas & Texas to the Mo. Pacific Railroad Company for 99 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 addition 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, bnt from official sources we learn that the lease is for 90 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 other bonds, or for such other parpcses 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. Company is to be entitled to possession of the railway and cancelAlthough this lease is for 99 years, it lation of lease. is understood that it is likely to be a temporary arrangement, preliminary to a consolidation of the Gould properties of the Southv»est. The foregoing suffic-iently explains the press dis?atch of June 2 from Palestine, Texas, saying that the Missouri acific Railroad had leased the International & Great Northern line for 99 years. This news was about two weaks old, as the lease of the M. K. & T. carried this road with it. The consolidation of the New Orleans Pacific with the Texas Pacific, voted this week in New Orleans, is another important TftYJis given for the company for |f291,117. The suit was for due on account of carrying the United States mails. — — — Petersburg Railroad. Messrs. R. H. Maury & Co., of Richmond, Va., say in their circular that "the Court has directed that the road, instead of being sold, should be returned to the stockholders. The election of Major Myers as President assures continued good and careful manag^-ment." * * "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 in the Receiver's hands on the 1st of tue present month was $27,016. 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. The debts upon the road, including the preferred stock and accrued interest, are something over 1/2 millions, requiring aa interest account of about Without e.stimating for the large increase of $120,000. traffic business, which each year is sure to bring, and taking the earnings as they are. we would have, after dedncting one-half for operating expenses and $120,000 for interest account. $33,000 applicable as dividends upon the $1,000,000 of common stock or, if business increases only next year as it did last, there would bfi" $118,000 for dividends— over 11 per cent." ; Philadelphia & Rea ling.— .\fc Harrisburg, June 2, the Pennsylvania Supreme Cjurt refused to grant the application of Franklin B.

A deed from the Richmond & Alleghany Railroad Company, conveying all their property, rights and franchises to Green and Bocock, trustees, to secure $4,000,000 of second-mortgage bond-", was recorded in the Wednesclerk's office of the Chancery Court at Richmond, Va day. It is said that this deed was ordered two or three months ago, pending negotiations with the Pittsburg Southern Railroad people, to enable the Richmond & Alleghany Railroad Company to build their road to the junction at the West Virginia State These negotiations are still pending, and will be reopened line. Erie & Western.—The New York Lake Erie Western Railway Company have acquired control of the franchise of the Chicago & Atlantic Railway, extending from Marion, Ohio, on the line of the New York Pennsylvania & Ohio Railway, nearly to Chicago, and it is reported that the company will at once complete the line to Chicago. By an arrangement with the New York Pennsylvania & Ohio Company, the New York Lake Erie & Western will control the entire line to Chicago, thus securing a through route between New Y^ork and that city. Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. confirmed the correctness of this report, and said that on behalf of a syndicate composed of themselves, Winslow, Lanier & Co., L. von Hoffman & Co., Woerishoffer & Co., Messrs. Ten Have & Van Essen, of Amsterdam, and others, they have purchased from the New York Lake Erie & Western Company an issue of $6,500,000 of new mortgage bonds on the Chicago line, interest on them being guaranteed by the New York Lake Erie & Western Company, and being additionally secured by a pledge of the gross earnings of that company and of those of the New York Pennsylvania & Ohio Company, on business derived from New York Lake , & by the consolidated companies. It is un'lerstt>od that it is not intended to put the bonds upon the market unless the Pittsburg connection ir ordered, but that it was necessary to record the deed before the consolidation takes effect, and becomes absolute on the 23d of Jaae.— Baltimore Su7i. Texas Pacific— New Orleans Pacific- At New Orleans, 30, the directors of the New Orleans Pacific Railroad held a meeting and voted a consolidation between that road and the Texas Pacific. The New Orleans Pacific is now being built, and it is expected that it will be completed and in running order by the first of September. The telegraphic report states that the stock is to be exchanged for Texas Pacific stock, share for share, and thus another important step will be taken in the May Gould consolidation. Texas & Pacific Railway Company have accepted forty miles additional of track. Their operated line now extends 260 miles west of Fort Worth. —The line. New York Pittsburg & Chicago.—A dispatch of June 1 to the NeTT York Herald says that the Pittsburg' Newcastle & Lake Erie Road, controlled by Mr. Delos E. Culver, of New York, and General James S. Negley,-of Pittsburg, and the Pittsburg & Western Road, controlled by Mr. Callery and others, have been merged into one, forming a direct line to Youngstown from Pittsburg, A new company has just been formed to combine and extend these two narrow-gauge roads. It is called the New York Pittsburg'& Chicago Railroad Company, and its line will extend from Pittsburg to Marion, Ohio, 200 miles. This company embraces virtually the Pittsburg Newcastle & Lake Brie and the Pittsburg & Western, although the two latter will form an independent company under a new name. The officers of the New York Pittsburg & Chicago Company are President, James S. Negley; Vice-President, Delos E. Culver; Toledo Delphos Treasurer, Wm. N. Riddle, of Pittsburg; Secretary, James S.

Trade, for tlya stage 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 prospecte for cereal crops, though in sections it is claimed that they have injured cotton somewhat.

Akola BEiLiR, East India, April 23, 1981. To,the Editor of (he yew Torlc Co.m.mercial and Financial Chronicle. Sir; The Matichester Examiner and Times had sometime ago an — abstract from yoitr paper quoting a passage from the Vicktburg Herald regarding the present and next Ajueiican crop. The said paper savs " Now, let-us flrmly resolve to raise a 13-mlUioa : crop. The world can only stand fttioli a crop once, and other countries will have to give up giowing cotton," or words to that effect. The Vleksburg paper makes one mistake there, seemingly. Omitting the question of i>rice, and assuming that it interests you to know down to what rate it will pay the Indian ryot, or peasant, to grow cotton, 1 address this letter to you. Practically, it matters little what the price Is for. as I am assured by Intelligent agriculturists, tlie ryot will sow cotton in rotation, no matter what he gets for it. His expenses are very small, and if he only covers them ho would be content. ifowover, he would of course reduce the crop if others paid him better, and the question is. therefore, what would pay him sufflciently to iudnce lUm to sow a full share of cotton t Now, slnc« I came here into the Berar or Oomraoteo districts, thirtccu yeai s ago, cotton lias paid the grower better and better year by year, in measure as the profits of the buyer up country, the cxiwrter, the shipper, the agent at home, etc., were more and more cut down, and this is a fact that you should bear in mind when calculatiLg upon driving Indian cotton out of the market.
