judging from the moro

frequent suspensions which have been recently announced, ara

then the public will be inclined to come forward and buy, even
if the terms obtainable are less favorable than they are to-day.
A very encouraging feature is that the return of the Bank
of England is more favorable than had t>een anticipated. Some
critics have asserted that the statement in a bad one ; but such
criticisms assume that the part of a month should, and can, be
crowded into a few days. If the rate of progre.<s during the
next few weeks is in proportion to that which has been made of
late, the Bank of England will soon be in a satisfactory condition.
It is quite true that the proportion of reserve to liabilities is only 3511 per cent, against 3233 per cent Ust week and
44% per cent last year. But the more favorable featore is the
evidence the.ie figures give that the influence of the 4 per cent
.

Gold—The dem.md for export has now ce.-isod and the

impoita, which

hiive been very small, have been sent Into the Bank,
tlie amount so disoosed of being £54,000.
Silver— The market has been verv steady since our last and the price
lias only varied l-16d. per oz. At the close of last w^ek the arrivals
from Buenos Avrcs and the West Indies -were sold at 50 l-16d.. and in
the early part of this. SO'sd. was obtained for the bars thateame by the
Paeitio steamer. The rate to-dav seems quiet, and tlie nearest quotation
"we can give is SO^ed. per oz.
have received since our last £28.000

for the past

week

We

from the Pacinc and £11,970 from New York. The Para has taken
.«33,000 to the West Indies, and the P. A- O. steamer £10,^,000 to India.
Mexican Dollarp— Without arrivals of any consequence, the market has
T)een without alteration in price. Tlie Pekia has taken £111,420 to the

period in the three previous years

we have had another week of brilliantly
warm weather, and vegetation has made further considerable
progress. The prospect is regarded as more than usually satisstated above,

has been Improved to-day, owing to the steady
rain which is falling. It is Impossible for the weather to be
more favorable to the crops than it is now; and although they
are backward they will not, in all probability, be much behind,
should the weather continue so genial as it is now. The trade
for cereal produce has, in consequence, been dull, and the
quotations have been with difficulty supported.
The sales of home-grown wheat, barley and oats in the 150
principal markets of England and Wales during the first thirty«ight weeks of the season, together with the average prices
realized, are

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—The improvement in the general mercantile and industrial situation
in the last week has been more in the subsiding of apprehenBions of the future than in any actual changes in business
conditions, or in the volume of trade. Ten days ago tliere
was a general feeling of distrust, on account of apprehensions
of disastrous strikes and important failures, and a disorganization of the iron induftry. The crisis, however, seems to have
been passed. Some furnaces have been blown out, the millowners declaring that they cannot afford to manufacture for
present prices, and at least one important failure the Graf
ton Iron Company— lias occurred but aside from these incidents tlie situation in this branch of trade is more hopefully
regarded. Ti)e diminished production of iron, both from the
mines and the mills, will probably soon permit the consumptive demand to overtake the supply, and thus at least main8,

situation has been passed,

in the line

tliat

any change

is

likely to be

The general crop prospect has certainly improved, notwithstanding that the latest reports from Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio confirm the damage to the winter wheat crop. But the
reports from the spring wheat region of the Northwest, and
from the further- west winter wheat States, are of the most
and there is scarcely room to doubt that
the general crop will be at least a good average. Speculation in
various lines has increased lately, and the transactions ingrain
and petroleum have been on a large scale in the last week. The
speculation in grain has maintained prices at figures which

flattering character,

etill operate against a free export movement, though wheat
has declined during the week in view of the improving crop

prospects.

In the general monetary situation the features are only
those usual at this season of the year. The domestic exchanges
are generally in favor of New York, and the accumulation of
funds liere had given the banks of New York a surplus
reserve of $9,071,650 onlast Saturday, against $3,951,100 on the
corresponding date of last year.
The accumulation of so
large a surplus reserve this year was, however, about a
later than last year, when it was $10,895,600 on April
and from that point declined to $3,951,100 by June 2d.
The cause of this more tardy accumulation of money in the
banks liere was believed to be due to the fact that the volume of
products in the country to be moved this year was larger than
last year, and therefore the money was retained in the interior

month
29th,

longer. With the increase of money here, speculation has been
revived last week the banks increased tlieir loans $1,394,300,
the larger part of wliich was probably for speculative purposes.
Following this was an advance in the stock market of from 2
to 4 per cent in the last week, and an increased activity in the
epeculation in grain and petroleum. Rates for money have
been nominally no lower than they were in the previous week,
but the supply of funds has bee,i abundant at 2 to 3 per cent
for call loans on stocks and 4 to 5 per cent per annum on the
eame collaterals for time loans i-unning from 4 to 8 months.
The sterling exchange market has been very quiet, the
amount of business being small for the reason that the transactions in American securities on foreign account, as also
the exports of our domestic products, have bt-en small.
Diminished imports of dry goods and general merchandise
have also made a light mercantile demand for exchange.
The following table shows the changea from tlie previous
week and a comparison with the two preceding ears in the
averages of the New York Clearing House banks."

State and Railroad Bonds. The railroad bond market has
been strong, but only moderately active, during the week. The
most business has been done in the West Shore bonds and the
Atlantic & Pacific incomes. The former have ranged pretty
steadily from 783^ to 79. The latter since last Friday have fluctuated between 36Sg and 34, and close at 3534.
Among the
other railroad issues, Canada Southern Ists have advanced 1%,
Chesapeake & Ohio 6s 1%, Fort Wortli & Denver City firsts
1%, Texas & Pacific (Rio Grande Division) 1}{, Iron Mountain
5s }g per cent, and Kansas & Texas general mortgages 1% per
There has been comparatively little done in railroad
cent.
bonds on foreign account.
State bonds have been very dull but firm.

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—There has been
an almost continuously advancing market for stocks during
the week. Several circumstances combined early in the week
to advance particular stocks, and these, together with improving crop reports and the settlement of tlie labor troubles
at the West, have imparted a stronger tone to the market.
The special features referred to were, the favorable decision
of Judge Lawrence, the First Comptroller of the U.S. Treasury,
in the matter of the ^Union Pacific Co.'s claim for payment
in cash for mail and military sei'vices on its non-subsidized
branch lines; also the expectations of profitable results from
the lease of the Jersey Central to the Reading, etc., etc. The
general advance in stocks has ranged from 1 to 6 per cent, the
most important being as follows, viz. Union Pacific 3}^,
Long Island 6, Alton & Terre Haute 8, C. C. C. & I. 5, Northwtstern 2:^3. St. Paul & Manitoba 3%, Reading 3%^,
Western Union 2%, Rock Island 2%, Lackawanna 3%^,

operating expenses. Freight equipment Kh"ws an
increa.se of thirty-one, being for two new stock and twenty-nine
new gondola cars, built in St. Thomas shops.
Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt, the President, says in his report
" The unfavorable conditions which so seriously affected the
business of 1881 continued, with little moditication, through the
first half of 1882 ; but the settlement of the trunk line difficulties was felt during the later months of the year in a larger
business and at better rates. This favorable condition still
continues with every prospect of permanency, and promises
very satisfactory results for the ensuing year.
"During the year covered by this report, two very important
measures have been adopted, which promise the most favorable
results to all interested in the property. First, it was decided
to make the principal western terminus of the road at Windsor,
opposite Detroit, and there to make direct connection, by ferry,
with the Michigan Central RR. j and, f-econdly, an agreement
was entered into with the Michigan Central RR Co. for a term
of twenty-one years, whereby that company is to operate this
company's lines in connection wiuh its own, making practically
one road or system of roads from the Niagara River to Chicago
and the other western points reached by the Michigan Central,
the srross earnings of the whole system to be applied first to
the payment of the operating expenses and the fixed charges
of both companies, and the net surplus to be then divided in
the proportion of two-thirds to the Michigan Central and onethird to the Canada Southern. In order to make the desired
connection at Detroit, it became necessary to build about fifteen
miles of main line, from E-sex Centre to Windsor, and to provide extensive terminal facilities at the latter point ; but in
view of the fact that the distance to Detr..it would thus be
reduced about fifteen miles, and that this connection would be
a necessity if the arrangement then contemplated with the
Michigan Central should be perfected, it was thought best to
undertake the work at once and to push it forward as rapidlv
as possible. The agreement with the Michigan Central Railroad (Company, to which the shareholders of this company
gave their consent at the special meeting in November last,
also requires that this company shall acquire the ontrol of a
bridge over the Niagara River, to give it an independent connection with the New York Central and other roads ou the
American side, and that it shall make oth-r exten.-'ive improvements and additions to its property, in order to accommodate
the largely increased volume of traflic which is expected to be
in

thrown upon

it."

own property. President Rhinelander rails attentioo to
the fact that since Jan. 1, 1883, the Milwaukee Lake Shore &
Western Railway Company has been consolidated with the
Vieux Desert & Lake Superior Railroad Compaov, a corporation organized under the laws of Michigan. Tni* was done
so that a road in Michigan could be constructed and operated
as an extension of the Wisconsin road by one and the same
corporation. The consolidated company bears the same name
as the old Wisconsin corporation, and its organixation and
powers are substantially the same, except that it is anthorixed
to construct and operate a road in Michigan, and its authorized
common capital stock is ^5,000,000.

Concord Railroad.
(For the year ending March 31, 1883.)
The annual report says that daring eleven months of the year
Lowell
the road was operated in connection with the Boston &
Kailroad, under a joint business contract, for which time a perapporcentage of certain joint receipts and expenditures was
tioned to each road, making the gross amount of each for this
road appear somewhat more than it otherwise would have been.
The net receipts of the Concord road were not, however, materthe
ially chanijed thereby, and the result of the operation of
road for the year has been favorable, as will appear by the followiPi; stattment of receipts and expenditures:

"There were included

in the receipts for the previous year
$48,455 for old rails sold, and the income of that year for earnings was apparently increased by this amount. There is in-

cluded in thff expenses herein the amount of $73,807, which has
been paid as this road's proportion of the new locomotives and
cars purchased during the last year.
"The business connection with the Boston & Lowell Railroad,
referred to in last year's report, has been annulled, this corporation having received notice from the Boston & Lowell Railroad that a continuance of the aame would be unsatisfactory to
that company."

Northern Railroad (N. H.)
(For the year ending March 81, 1883.)
The report siys : " A comparison of the results of the bnsinew) for the past year with that of the former year shows quite
an increase in the gross receipts, with a comparatively small
increase in the amount of expenses. The net income is consequently materially larger than that for the preceding year,
caused Friueipally by a reduction of expenses, which is largely
attributed to the laying of the main line of read with steel
rails, which not only reduces the expense of repairs of track,
but also that of rolling-stock generally. * » *
" The indebtedness of the corporation consists of coupon
notes amounting to $97,000, due Jan. 1, 1884, and the guaranty
by this corporation of bonds of the Concord & Claremont, N. H.,
liailrcjad to the amount of $500,000, of which this corporation
owns $200,.')00. It also continues to purcha.se the semi-annual
interest coupons on one hundred thousand dollars of bonds of

The report from the assistant superintendent shows that
there was a " decrease from the business of last year, caused
by the freight destined to Lawrence being transpDrted via the
Boston & Lowell Railroad under the contract for the joint operation of the Concord and Boston & Lowell roads. The termination of these contracts will restore the busiuess to the road and
probably increa.se the amount." « * *
" No change has occurred in the relations of this road with
the Concord Railroad. The negotiations for a final adjustment of the various matters growing out of their operations,
about which differences of opinion have atisen, have been practically suspended during the existence of the contract of the
Concord with the Boston & Lowell Railroad for the joint operation of those roads. The termination of that arrangement
has enabled the directors to resume their efforts for a full settlement, which they hope to see speedily accomplished."

Colorado Coal & Iron Company.
(For the year ending December 31, 1882.)
From the report of Gen. W. J. Palmer, President, the following is condensed
"The year 1882 has witnessed the progress and completion of
many works of great importance in Colorado which bear upon
the future prosperity of this Company. The Denver & Rio
Grande Railway system has been completed to Silverton, thus
opening up the riches of the San Juan country for the smelters; the extensions to the northwest have been pushed to Dillon
on the Blue River and to Red Cliff on the Eagle River, while
the Utah Extension has been built to points where the Lake
City and Ouray ores can be reached, and is now completed
*
*
*
»
through to Salt Lake."
" Daring the year the price of coke was reduced in the belief
that it would cause an increased consumption which would in
the end yield greater profit. The results have justified this
expectation. The total output of coal for the year 1882 was
512,363 tons, against 350,944 tons in 1881, an increase of over 45
per cent. The shipments of coke for the year were 90,256 tons,
:

against 47,640 tons in 1881, an increase of over 90 per cent. The
steel works at Bessemer were put in operation on April 12th,
1882, and the first steel rail made west of the Missouri River
was roll-d on that day. During last year 20,993 gross tons of
The

puddle mill and nail works were put in operation in August and
September respectively, and during the year produced 1,411
?ross tons of muck bar and 16,103 kegs of nails. The spike mill
was also put in operation during the year ani produced 5,720

has been kept in operation during the whole year, and yielded
I product of 23,719 net tons of pig iron, a very good showing
for that size furnace.
The foundry and machine shop were
kept busy on repair and construction work for the Company, no
outside work being done.
" The sales of real estate during the year amounted to $82,105.
While the volume of sales has fallen off somewhat, prices
have been well maintained and the prospect for the future is
encouraging. The Denver rolling mill has been kept in constant
operation during the year, though not run to its full capacity.

produced 3,934 net tons of merchant bar iron, mine rails and
bars during the year. The iron mines at Placer, Hot
Springs, Calumet and Grape Creek have been operated during
che year, and shipped a total of 53,065 net tons of ore.

It is claimed by purchasers of Jersey Central stock that
agreement is beneficial to them, as it provides for the development of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre coal lands, which will insure
a steady iocrease of receipts for the coal business of the road.
The different accounts of the arrangement agree that the 33
per cent guarantee is not to fall below the rental paid last year,
which was $1,445,190, and which, allowin«r for the increased net
profits on Lehigh coal, will be sufficient to pay fixed charges
and 8 per cent dividends hereafter. A maximum limit was also
agreed upon, the particulars of which have not yet transpired.

therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
like the following.
that thfse flgures, of course, do not include overland receipts 01
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement ot thiweekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop

There has been a disposition latterly to cover contracts, both

the reason that they are in moderate supply. Winter ground
ftour, as uxnal at this time of the year, is pressed for sale.
To-

day the market was quiet but about steady for the commoner
brands that are most available for export, thongh the higher
grades were to a great extent nominal.
Wheat has been fairly active on speculation and for export.
Prices have fallen about two cents per bushel, mainly owing to
a decline at the West, where improved crop prospects are
reported in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kaneas, Michigan, Iowa,
Nebraska and Dakota. There has been considerable covering of
shorts both here and in Chicago, at the lower prices. To-day
the market here declined ^A@?ie. at the opening, but later
recovered and advanced as much. No. 2 red sold at $1

DoMBHTic Cotton Oooua.— The exporta of domratlo* for the
week were 1,940 package*, incladiog 1,S(M to Oreal BriUin,
161 to Chili, 74 to Haytl, Ao. An a whole the mark»t haii been
very quiet, but some fair-aized " round loU" of pbtia and ooU
ored cottons were taken by interior jobber*, wbo are nwUng
shipments by cheap water ronte*, and converter* were rather
more liberal in their operations. Price* of the best brown and
bleached goods remain fairly steady, bat colored cottons are
unsettled; and so unprofitable baa been the mannfactnr« of
these fabrics that several milU have been compelled to paa*
their usual semi-annual dividends. Print cloths have been dnll,
and quotations have receded to 3?gC. for 64i64i and 3 l-lBc. for
56x60s, with more seller* than buyers at these flgnres. Prints
and ginghams were lightly dealt in by package buyers, and
the jobbing trade was only moderate.
Domestic Woolex Goods.— There was a slight tendeccy
towards improvement in the demand for men's-wear woolens in
the parly part of the week, which was subsequently checked by
the annouact>ment of the coining auction sale referred to above.

There was a fair movement in fancy cassimeres and worsteds
on account of back orders, and a moderate amount of new business was done in the former fabrics, although buyers exhibited
great caution in their operations. Overcoatings continued dull,
and sales of cloakings were comparaiively light. Kentucky
jeans were quiet as a' rule, but very fair transactions were
reported in exceptional cases. Satinets have shown very little
animation, but stocks are in pretty good shape, and prices'aro

usually the ease at this stage of the season, and a somewhat
better feeling has prevailed in regard to the fnture, becansa of
encouraging reports about the growing crops. Under the influence of warm weather, the retail trade has at length started
