The exchanges for the month of May show a slight improve¬
ment in the Fggregate over those for April, but as they com¬
pare vith a hea\ier to!al in 1884 the percentage of
"decline
from that year is somewhat greater. This brings the loss for
the five months up to 29’4 per cent, against a decrease at the
close of April of 28 1 per cent.

SITUATION.
ostensible change in either the business or
the agricultural situation, the stock market has, with
repeated lapses and weaknesses, appeared to gain some
strength during the past ten days. Probably the rumored
developments in West Shore affairs had as much as any
one thing to do with the activity during the first half of
this week.
Every one understands what an incubus and
fomenter of discord that enterprise in its present con¬
dition is.
So the public only requires very little support
for a rumor of settlement to give it currency, and set all
who are short of the market to covering.
In this instance
the actual advance at one time of more than four points
in the bonds of that road, appeared strongly confirmatory
of the report, while the apparent prompt rejection of the
last Hewitt plan of re-organization (between which and
the original bondholders’ or Lent plan, it would almost
require a microscope to discover the difference) was inter¬
preted as being a suggestion of confidence in something

foregoing makes the exact loss of gold in May
$2,116,861, and as this loss was only kept down to these
figures by allowing the surplus revenue of the month to
accumulate, the future of this balance must obviously
depend somewhat upon the continuance of a similar rela¬
tion between the government receipts and expenditures.
Of course, if business were active, this accumulation might
cause a serious disturbance in the money market; under
The
existing circumstances it is a harmless expedient which
the issue of silver certificates has forced upon the Government.
In the same connection it is instructive to note
how rapidly the Treasury accumulations are running into

it not for the very conservative and commendable course
pursued by Mr. D. C. Hays, the President, in announc¬
ing, as soon as the results of the examination were
known to him, all the facts of'the case.
A less wise man¬
agement would have concealed and covered up the truth
and let it leak out by driblets, in which case rumor would
have produced any number of spooks for parade on the
street.
The latter part of the week the market lost
the buoyancy which was apparent earlier, but that cir¬
cumstance has very little significance.
Chicago Burlington & Quincy, while so many other roads
in different parts of the country are presenting unfavor¬
able exhibits of earnings, affords a welcome relief in the
publication of a very good return covering the month of
April. The Burlington & Quincy is not exempt from the
influence of depression in operation on other lines, but it is
so much more dependent
upon the movement of corn, which
this year as a result of last season’s excellent crop is quite
large, that the first-mentioned circumstance is a mere minor
influence just now.
Thus for the four weeks ended April
25 the receipts of corn at Chicago (by all roads) were
4,422,559 bushels this year, against only 2,246,055 bushels
last year, an increase of 2,176,504 bushels, or nearly 100
per cent, and of this increase the Burlington & Quincy, since
it is the principal corn carrier of the Northwest, must have
had the major proportion. Hence it is not surprising to find
a
gain of $233,000 in the gross for April—to a larger total
than ever before in that month. The most satisfactory fea¬
ture about the return, however, is the fact that this increased
business was done at an increase of less than $9,000 in
expenses, so that almost the whole of the gain in gross
has been added to the net, making the total $869,461,
against only $645,203 in 1884, and an average of less
than $700,000 per month in the three years preceding,
while in 1880 the total was only $549,928, and in 1879 only
$400,748. The following is a comparison for five years,
not only for the month of April, but for the four months
ended with April.

The trade there, in fact, has been rather inclined
weakness, and at the close the tendency
was against the buyer. Actual operations were, however, light
buyers purchasing merely from hand to mouth. The trade is
now feeling the effects of the holidays, and continued quiet¬
ness may be looked for.
It is, however, not impossible that
the markets may gradually become stronger. What is weigh¬
ing upon values just at present is the liberality of foreign
receipts and the prospect of fresh arrivals being largely sup¬
plemented in the immediate future. But for that circum¬
stance more firmness might have been witnessed.
As it is, a
very appreciable advance here is the signal for increased ship¬
ments to us, and unless the agricultural outlook becomes so
unfavorable as to render the holding-back of wheat a possibly
profitable speculative operation, we see little prospect of an
advance. The average price of home-grown wheat for the
past week was 37s. 5d. or 8d. per.qr. less than in the preced¬
ing week, the difference in the average price for tie season
being 4s. lOd. per qr. against 1884-5.
The Revenue and Agricultural Department of the Govern¬
ment of India has issued the following memorandum (dated
April 24, 1885), on the prospects of the Indian wheat crop :
Speaking generally, tlie prospects 'of the wheat crop, as previously
reported, remained unchanged lip to the end of March. Complete
statistics for the Punjaub are not yet available, the wheat harvest of
that province being, as explained in the last summary, later in ripening

the weather during March has led to au improvement in the estimated
outturn. The area under wheat is said to be 5.284,400 acres, which is
iu excess of the normal wheat area by 318,721 acres. Of this area
about 1‘06 per cent is expected to bear a full average crop.
A crop
estimated at 90 per cent of au average crop is expected ou about
per cent of the area, an 84 per cent crop on about 53 per
area, a three-quarters crop on about 32 9 per cent, and a 66 per

is expected to bo about 82 per cent of an average crop, and the
outturn anticipated is 2,040,000 tons The stooks in hand are
to amount to about 60.000 tons.

Among the best features in railroad news are the favorable
reports of net earnings by Louisville & Nashville and Chicago
Burlington & Quincy, and the declaration of the usual divi¬

a
Chicago & Northwestern,
with a reported surplus for the year of about $500,000, or
$1,000,000 including the receipts from land sales.
In such exceptionally bad years as 1885, it is desirable for
the holders of stocks to take long views, and not limit their
estimate of the value of properties to the immediate prospects
of the market.
On such stocks as Northwest, St. Paul, Lake
Shore, Michigan Central, Pennsylvania, and others, that have
been dividend-payers, they should ask in each case, what is a
fair value for this stock on its history for three years past and
on its prospects
for three years to come, after the railroad
wars have been settled, as they.most assuredly will be settled
when the magnates are ready.
Rates for call loans during the week on stock and bond
collaterals have ranged at 1@2 per cent, and to-day at 1@1$ per
cent.
Prime commercial paper is quoted at 3$@4 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a
gain in specie of £230,169, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 50$, against 51| last week; the discount
rate remains at 2 per cent.
The Bank of France gained
12,910,000 francs in gold and 4,769,000 francs in silver.
The New York Clearing Nouse banks, in their statement of
May 29, showed an increase in surplus reserve of $956,850,
the total surplus being $60,768,925, against $59,812,075 the

past week, and a reduction in posted rates of $ cent was made
on Tuesday
and also a further reduction of £ cent for demand

ence between 69-day and sight bills to one ce it, and further
diminishing the prospect of any gold export in the near

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The week opened
on Monday, June 1, with a dull and weak stock market, various
rumors and reports being in circulation which had a depres¬
sing effect on prices, and the bears were not slow to take
advantage of them. The continued quarrelling among the
made
or some
roads both East
rates, the loss
and West in
regard to freight and passenger
in earnings reported by
Pennsylvania, and the
decline in the stock of that road, and the extensive and gen¬
eral strike of iron-workers, were the principal causes for the
depression.
But on Tuesday a
reaction took place when it
of these reports were exaggerated,
and that the iron-workers’ strike was not as bad as at first
was
discovered that
some
reported. Until Thursday the market continued generally
strong in tone, but at no time was there any animation appar¬
ent in the dealings, the market continuing in the same dull and
lifeless condition which has prevailed for so long a time past.
Lackawanna broke below par on Monday, the depression
being accompanied by a rumor of lower prices for coal; but it
subsequently reacted, in sympathy with the rest of the market,
and declined again to-day.
The Grangers have been something of a feature in a dull
market, being alternately weak and strong, the fact that the
usual dividends on Northwest were declared on Thursday not
having any particular influence.
To-day, Fri.lay, the tone was weak on a very dull business,
and after moderate fluctuations prices closed near the lowest of
the day.

“The gross earnings of 1884 were 13
per cent less than
those of 1883, while the total expenses decreased but 7
per

The principal reductions of expenses were in the co3t
of motive power ($53,004) and in general
expenses ($24,741).
The principal increase of expenses was in maintenance of
way ($23,486).
The outlay for repairs of trestles and bridges,
which increased to $21,385 in 1884, is a serious item of
expense.”

In the early part of 1884, unusually severe and
long-con¬ advances, however, did not enable the company to meet its

year to year it will
be still further strengthened.
In February, 1884, it was apparent from unforeseen diffi¬
culties in the way of construction, and delay in
prosecuting
the work from unfavorable weather, that more
money would
be required to complete the road and pay its interest
during
construction. To meet this exigency the board issued and
sold $500,000 of the plain bonds of the
company, dated May 1,
1884, bearing interest at six per cent per annum, and having
ten years to run. These bonds were guaranteed,

The directois say in their report: “ In the plan for settle¬
ment of the claims above referred to, $1,000,000 was set apart
for the floating debt of the old receivers and managers.
The
question has arisen for the consideration of the directors, and
which is still engaging their attention, whether it will be more
desirable to apply whatever balance may be found of any in¬
come after payment of rents and interest on mortgages to the
reduction of the floating debt, and thus admit of applying
this $1,000,000 to the reduction of the mortgage to $6,000,000,
or to hold the $1,000,000 as an available asset for improve¬
ments that may be in future required.
The reduction of the
mortgage to $6,OCP,000 instead of $7,000,000 would not only
tend to strengthen the bonds themselves, but would also tend
to enhance the value of both of the Consolidated and the
Central Vermont companies.” * * * “ The relations of the
Central Vermont with the Grand Trunk Railway Co. have
been improved and extended, and the interest which that
company has taken in the financial arrangements of the Cen¬
tral and the Consolidated companies insures its permanent

profit of $5,670. But against this is to be charged the loss in
operating the Watchung Railroad, amounting to $8,556; paid
for interest, $11,459; claims which accrued prior to January
1, 1884, but weie paid in the year 1884, $7,318; leaving a deficit
for the year of $21,604.
“The deficit at the close of the year 1883 was $164,711,
which, adding the delicit of the year 1881. leaves the total
deficit on the first of January, 1885, $187,375. This amount
(about one-fourth of which consists of taxes paid to the State
of New Jersey) represents the loss in running the railroad,
gince it came into the possession of this company six years ago,
for tbe benefit of the public, without any advantage whatever
either to the stockholders or bondholders.” * * *
“The condition of the road has steadily been improved, as
well in its road-bed as in its bridges and superstructure. Dur¬
ing the last year an unusually large expense was incurred in
consequence of replacing two wooden bridges at Bloomfield
with iron structures and rebuilding the bridges over the Paslaic and Pequanoc rivers. During the present year the remain ¬
ing bridges on the upper part of the road ought to be rebuilt.
Every effort consistent with safety, however, will be made to
keep the outlay within the receipts.”

Louis (Nickel-Plate).—This com¬
pany made default on its first mortgage interest due June.1.
The bondholders have acted wisely and promptly in having
already appointed a committee before the default was made,
Mr. J. C. Re iff at 35 Broad Street being the Secretary. The
bondholders have a property that is abundantly sufficient to
protect the face of their bonds, and they will press mat¬
ters to a conclusion and get the property unless their rights are
respected. It might be a fair concession to take a 5 per cent first
mortgage bond, absolutely guaranteed by Lake Shore, in place
of the present bonds—but this only on the idea that the new
security would be fully equal in market value to the old.
There is very little probability that Lake Shore is going to
abandon this property and lose its investment in the stock, for
which it paid $6,500,000 in its 7 per cent bonds. There has
never been a day since the purchase was made when a broad
view of Lake Shore's finances and prospects would not lead
one to conclude that the control of Nickel-Plate, even at the
price paid, was a good thing for Lake Shore. An effort is
usually made to present the Nickel-plate affairs in the worst
light possible, whereas an examination of its balance-sheet
below on March 28, or of its earnings given in another para¬
graph, for the quarter ending March 31 (less two days), does not
lead to a hopeless view of the company's affairs.
Of all
the trunk lines, this was the only one that actually showed an
improvement in gross and net earnings for the first quarter of

Philadelphia & Reading.—The Boston Transcript (prob¬
ably taking it from some Philadelphia paper) says that Drexel &
Co. will again come to the relief of the Reading Railroad Com¬
pany on the 1st of June, and pay the interest on the 7 per
cent consolidated mortgage bonds maturing at that date. The
company still owes the bankers for a corresponding payment
made last September, for which the latter hold perfectly good
collateral.
The amount of money which the Drexels will
have to pay out on this account is $617,000, which, with the
September advance, will make the total indebtedness of the
company to the banking firm $1,234,000.
Portland & Ogdensburg.—A decree has been entered in
the Circuit Court of the United States for New Hampshire,
foreclosing at the expiration of six months from May 12, 1885,
the mortgage given by the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad
Company, under date of Nov. 1, 1871, securing $1,330,000
worth of bonds held by the city of Portland.
Postal Telegraph—Bankers’ A Merchants’—American
Rapid.—In regard to the dispatch from Baltimore, that a
consolidation of the Postal and Bankers’ & Merchants’ tele¬

It is stated at the Postal Telegraph Company's office that
a f riendly arrangement has been entered into with the Bank¬
ers’ & Merchants’, whereby the Postal Telegraph Company
from June 1 takes the active management of the Bankers’ &
Merchants’. The offices of the two companies will be consoli¬
dated, but the separate organizations will be maintained.”
The plan of reorganization of the Bankers’ & Merchants’
Company, it is said, will provide for the issuing of $1,200,000
first mortgage bonds to pay the floating debt and of a second
mortgage in place of the present first mortgage, the exchange
to be made at the rate of one new second-mortgage bond for

Valley.—Mr. James Robinson, Treasurer and Assist¬

"appointed receiver of the Scioto Valley Railroad, in a
suit brought by Mr. C. P. Huntington, President of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, who obtained a judgment against
the Scioto Valley for $639,305 for money which Mr. Huntington is said to have advanced for improvements.
In pursuance
of this judgment levies have been made by the Sheriffs of the
various counties through which the road runs.

The strike of the iron workers at the West, and the conse¬
quent closing of many mills is the most important event of the
week. There is danger that a long and bitter struggle between
the employers and the employed will follow. A cessation of
excessive rains in the Southwest has improved crop prospects in
that section, and in all quarters the season may now be regarded
as a promising one.

n financial circles.
The recommendation was based upon
the fact that the presentation of bonds by the holders
who kept them back to await the late decision of the
United States Supreme Court, which M as that the State is
liable for their payment, would exhaust the funds in the
Treasury.
The Finance Committee of the Legislature have
introduced a bill, which was passed on its first reading.
The
Funding Board is authorized to borrow an amount sufficient to
supplement the funds in the Treasury for the pu'pose of
promptly liquidating the interest wh* n due. The Funding
Board is empowered to execute notes to the lender, bearing
interest not exceeding the legal rate. The bill will become a
law, as the Governor has expressed his willingness to approve
such
a measure.

India Cotton Movement from all Ports.— We have
re-arranged our India service so as to make our reports more
detailed and at the same time more accurate. We had found
impossible to keep out of our figures, as cabled to us for the
ports other than Bombay, cargoes which proved only to be
shipments from one India port to another. The plan now
followed relieves us from the danger of this inaccuracy and
keeps the totals correct. We first give the Bombay statement
for the week and year, bringing the figures down to June 4.

the grand result, we And that our previous prognostications were in
the main correct. From all directions we have the most flattering
reports of the condition of the crop and stand. Everywhere fannersare well up with their work, and the fields are clear of grass and weeds,
notwithstanding there has been rain nearly every day since we last ad¬
vised you. All reports indicate a sufficiency of labor for the cultivation and.
gathering of a full crop. The only drawback that we can now perceive
to the plant is the excess of moisture it has been receiving, and the con¬
tinued cool days as well as nights, we having had but three real hot
cotton days during the past ten days. As yet the<e unfavoiable con¬
ditions have not unfavorably affected the plant, and we hope the
advance of the season will bring us continued warm weather.

making an average increase throughout the ten counties of 17 per

Domestic Woolen Goods.—Clothing woolens were more
active in movement than demand, liberal deliveries having
been made by agents in execution of orders on record, while
new business was confined within somewhat narrow limits.
The most popular makes of heavy cassimeres and worsted
suitings
pretty well sold up as a rule, because manu¬
are
facturers have
adopted the wise policy of running on orders
possible, instead of making goods for a market, as
has heretofore been the case.
Rough-faced overcoatings were
in fair request, and some considerable orders were placed for
fancy cloakings, heavy Jersey cloths and stockinettes, but
cloth-faced beavers ruled quiet. Kentucky jeans and doeskins
were in irregular demand, and satinets were lightly dealt in.
Flannels and blankets were in light request, and a fair
business was done in fall styles of soft wool suitings, sackingscashmeres, ladies cloths, etc., for future delivery. Hosiery
far
as
as
and knit underwear have shown more animation, owing to
the arrival of a good many out-of-town buyers of these goods,
and a fair business was done in this connection by the
principal agents.
Foreign Dry Goods have subsided into the quiet condition

witnessed at this time of year, selections having been

goods adapted to the present season were noticeably quiet
in first hands, and sluggish in jobbing circles.
Toward the
close of the week there was a somewhat unsettled feeling in
of
S

auction sale of domestic wool flannels and wide cotton
sheetings. The coming sale will be held next Wednesday, the
10th instant, and it will embrace 10,000 packages wool flannels
and 1,500 cases Monadnock, Lowell and Lancaster brown and
bleached cotton sheetings, the entire production to date of
the many prominent mills represented in this market by
Messrs. Parker, Wilder & Co. The terms of sale are liberal—
four months’ credit from July 1—and there will no doubt be a
large influx of out-of-town buyers next week ; but the near
approach of the “ stock-taking” period renders it more than
probable that their operations will be mainly confined to the
tory
room.
of domestics for
the week ending June 2 were 2,521 packages, and the prin¬
cipal shipments comprised 1,748 packages to Great Britain,
116 to Brazil, 109 to Hamburg and 99 to Hayti.
The tone of
the market for staple cotton goods was quiet, but some con¬
siderable sales of bleached goods, wide sheetings, etc., were
effected by means of slight price concessions, and a f6w goodsized orders for special styles of cheviots, fancy shirtings, etc.,
were placed by the shirt trade.
Brown cottons were in very
light request by jobbers, but some good-sized round lots were
taken for conversion purposes. Colored cottons and cotton
flannels were less active than of late, and there was only a
moderate business in white goods and table damasks, but
scrim curtains continued to move freely on account of back
orders. Print cloths ruled quiet and easier, sales having
been made on the basis of 3%c. less 1 per cent for 64x64
“spots” and contracts to July 1 and 2%c. for 56x60s. Prints,
ginghams, lawns and cotton-wash fabrics were severally
quiet in first hands, and the jobbing trade was only moderate,
making due allowance for the advanced stage of the sesaon.
