has not yet been removed. Evidently the Continental nations,
except Italy, are not too well disposed towards us at the
present moment. The detention of the Guards at Alexandria
may be on account of doubts as to the position of affairs in
Egypt, but it is generally attributed to the prospect of more
acute complications on the Afghan frontier. Of course all
these conjectures may prove to be utterly groundless, but if
an adverse construction be put upon these movements, the
continued reticence on the part of the Government must be
held responsible. The re-appearance of the Bosjihore-Egyvtien
in its old form, before time has been given to allow the newPress laws in Egypt to be discussed and formulated, cannot be
described otherwise than as an unfriendly act on the part of
France; and at the same time the opposition by Russia, Germany, Austria and France to the imposition of the .5 per cent
tax on the coupons of the Egyptian debt until the proposals for
the new £9,000,000 loan have received the acceptance of all the
PowerSj'shows the widespread desire prevalent just now to
harass England as much as possible. Only a few days ago the
prospect was considered peaceful now we are again in the
midst of uncertainty. Commercial affairs do not have a
chance of reviving. With each gleam of hope we hear ot
inquiries in the leading centres which might result in some
good business orders bsing placed, but anticipations of an
improved status are almost immediately destroyed by some
fresh threatened political trouble. Willi such a state of affairs
confidence cannot ba restored, and without it there cannot be
any real revival of trade. That a disposition on the part of
the home trade to improve exists, there can be no question,
but export operations are too hazardous, and we must therefore wait for a solution of present troubles before we Cin

were influenced in their decision by the fears of
further political troubles. Otherwise there is no reason why
the rate should not have been lowered to 3 per cent. For the
moment no demand whatever prevails for money, and the real
state of the market can be seen by the liberal response to the invitation for tenders to the Metropolitan Board of Works loan.
Borrowers can obtain as much money as they desire at merely
nominal charges, so long as the security is good, end in spite

is no reason why the Bank rate should nothave been reduced

arisen for the consideration of tlie directors, and
whidi is still engaging their attention, whetlier it will be more
desirable to apply whatever balance may be found of any income 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 :{;»!, ik)0,(M)(),
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 |6.000,000 instead of 17,000,000 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 Central and the Consolidated companies insures its permanent

"In accordance with a vote of the stockholders, at a special
meeting duly notified and held at Concord, N. H., on the 18th
day of June, 1881, a lease of the road of this corporation wa-t
executed on the same day to the Boston & Lowell Railroad
corporation, on terms agreed upon by the directors and
approved by the stockholders of both corporations, for the
term of ninety-nine years from the 3lst day of llay, 1884."
* * * '-Under the lease, the Boston & Lowell Railroad corporation purchased of this company, at the appraisil therein
provided for, its stock and materials on hand, for use in the
repair and operation of the road." * * » "The balance of
the improvement account, which amounted on May 31, 1884, to
$100,169, has been charged off to income account, the balance
of which now stands at ^183,532. On the 16lh day of February an extra dividend of $7 \wt share was declared from the
surplus funds of the company, payable on the Ist day of May,
to stockholders of record on the 1st day of April. The claims
of the Ogdensburg & Lake Champlam Railroad Company,
which have been in litigation against this company, and the
claim-< of the receivers and managers of the Vermont Central
and Vermont & Canada railroad compinies, mentioned in the
last annual report, are still pending and unsettled.
"Immediately after the execution of the lease to the Boston
& Lowell Railroad, and the transfer of the property under it,
a suit was begun in the Supreme Court of New Hampshire by
stockholders in this company, who are more largely interested
in the Concord Railroad corporation, to break up the lease.
Subsequently another suit was instituted against the company
and its directors by the same stockholders and other large
stockholders in the Concord Railroad, seeking to compel the

the United States Express Company began suit in the U. S.
Court against the Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company
after the latter had made default on the payment of interest
on $3,500,000 bonds. The complaint is brought in the name
of Thomas C. Piatt, President of the Express Company, and
the defendants are the Lafayette Muncie & Bloomington, the
Lake Erie & Western, the Central Trust Company of New
York, and George J. McGourkey. The complaint alleges that
the Central Trust Company is disqualified from bringing the
suit as trustee for the bondholders, because it is also trustee
of mortgages on other parts of the consolidated road, and
these confiicting interests are so hostile that the Trust Company cannot perform its duty.
At Toledo, O., June 4, in the United States Court, Judge
Welker ordered tlie sale of tlie Lake Erie & Western Railroad
to satisfy a'judgment of $830,000 in favor of G. J. McGourkey.
The order cites that the sale must be made within sixty days,
and fixes $200,000 as the minimum amount, the sale to be subject to prior mortgages.

"The condition of the road has steadily been improved, as
well in its road-bed as in its bridges and superstructure. During 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 Passaic and Pequanoc rivers. During the present year the remain

of tho present bonds but this only on the idea that tho 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 §0,500,000 in its 7 per cent bonds. There ha'
never been a day since the purchase was made when a broad
view of Lake Shore's finances and prosiiects would not lead
one to conclude that the control of Nickel-Plate, even at the
price paid, was a gooil 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 3S, or of its earnings given in another paragraph, for the (juarter ending March 31 (less two days), does not
fead 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

Bate, that when bonds are hereafter presented for funding the

1885, be incorporated in the face of the new or settlement
bond, instead of being paid, has not been well received
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 was that the State is
liable for their payment, would exhaust the funds in the
Treasury.
he Finance Committee of the Legislature have
introduced a bill, which was passed on its first reading. The
Funding Board is wuihorized to borrow an amount sufficient to
supplement the funds in the Treasury for the pu'pose of
promptly liquidating the interest whnn due. The Funding
Board is empowered to execute notes to the lender, bearing
interest not exceeding the legal rate. The bUl will become a
law, as the Governor has expressed his willingness to approve
such a measure.

but a freejeelling movement set in, espedally
which closed at a sharp decline, and the next
;

for this crop,

crop weaker with October options largely dealt in. Yesterday
there was a heavy selling movement in this oroo, in sympathy
with Liverpool, under which prices gave way rapidly; but
there was a quick rally in the last hoar, the dcchne in the next
crop being fully recovered. To day there was renewed depreoBion following a steady opening; Liverpool and ManchMter
advices were unsatisfactory, and crop accounts very favorable.
But the last hour the decline was mostly recovered oa
the better business for export. Cotton on the spot was doil
early in the week, but on Wednesday at I-I60. decline ther«
was a fair business for export as well as home consumption.
Yesterday a further decline of l-18c. was recorded. To-day
prices again declined I-I60. and the close was at lO^^'e. for middling uplands. The decline led to much better business for
export, which was understood to include 1,500 bales not
oiScially reported.
The total sales for

forward delivery for the week are 199,400
For Immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
3,231 bales, including 2,170 for export, 1,064 for consumptiOD,
for speculation and
in transit. Of the above,
ba'es
were to arrive. The following are the official quotations for
each day of the past week.

Texas Crop. Messrs. Martin, Wise & Fitzhugh's report to
us of date Paris, Texas, May 30, is as follows
:

Since our last report to you we hive made a careful investigationof

way we linow of (jetlina at the real facts in regard to tlie crop. Takings
ilie i?riind result, we find that our previous prognostications were in
tlie main correct.
From all directions we have the nio.st flattering
reports iif the conditiou of the c-op and stand. Everywhere farmers
are well up with tlieir work, and tlie fields are clear of gra«8 and weeds,

cotton days during the past ten days. As yet tlieae unfavoi able conditions have not 11 ifavoribly afT^cted th-i plant, and we hope the
advance of tlie seasoo will bring us continued warm weather. Wo find
ail lucrease of cottim acreage as leported to us as follows: Bowie
Comity 15 per cent. Ked Rivir County 5 per cent, Lamar County 2*

making an average increase througlio it ihe ten counties of 17 i»er

Indian corn for future delivery has for the most part sympathized with wheat but on Wednesday, when wheat showed
some depression, com made a further advance. The weather
for the past week has been very favorable for the growing
crop. Corn on the spot met with a fair home demand. White
continues very scarce and yellow is not plenty. To-day there
was a good export demand, with a fair speculation, and prices
of mixed further improved.

malt is hold decidedly higher, on reduced stocks.
Oats have shown some recovery of speculative interest
prices advancing materially on Wednesday and Thursday'
and with reduced offerings spot values improved. The
prospects for the next crop, so far as they have been devel^
oped, are generally very good. To-day there was a further
improvement. No. 2 closing at 38J^c. for June, 38^c. for

FoREioN Dky Goods have subsided into the quiet condition
usually witnessed at this time of year, selections having been
mainly restricted to such small parcels of novelties as were
required for freshening assortments, and to job lots of siUcs,
dress goods, &c. The auction season is nearing its dose, and
the sales for the week presented no new features of note

the market for staple cotton goods was quiet, but some considerable sales of bleached goods, wide sheetings, etc., were
effected by means of slight price concessions, and a few goodsized orders for special styles of cheviots, fancy shirtings, etc,
were placed by the shirt trade. Brown cottons were in very

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 3i^c. less 1 i)er cent for 64x(M
