above statement wiU be given next Saturday. We cannot, of

usually gathered in
large quantities, efforts were made to
overcome the
deficiency by getting supplies from new

The

consequence was that ice was shipped from
most unexpected quarters, coming in some instances
long distances by rail from extreme northern
latitudes, where
alone it was found possible to obtain
it.
The present

There has been a further advance in rates this week, the
rate of discount in the open market rising to 2J^ per cent
while short loans have ranged from 2^ to 3>^ per cent. The
supply of money in the outside market has not been equal to
the demand, and the Bank of England in consequence has done
a large business. In the first place, the advance is due to a revival of alarmist rumors respecting the houses most deeply

One of the anomalies of the present period is the relatively
low prices of the bonds of various companies in comparison
with their stocks. Reading third incomes soTd at 23i^ while
the stock was at 29>i; Northern Pacific consol. 5 per cent
mortgage bonds sold at 83J!^ while the preferred stock was
«t 71 Jj; Richmond Terminal .5 per cent collateral trusts sold at
67?^ while the preferred stock was at 71; Rio Grande Western 4 per cent mortgage bonds sell at T6!4^ and the preferred
stock at li/^- Some of these prices have changed within a
few days, but it is usually one of the features of the market
that active stocks have more support in dull times than the
lower classes of bonds.
The adjournment soon of the Western legislatures, particularly that of Kansas for two years, is a subject for congratulation among railroad men, and with good crops this year the
xAilroad situation at the West will be greatly improved.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2 to 4 p. c, the
average being 2)^ p. c.

shows a loss of 925.000 francs in gold and 300,000 in silver.

been only a very moderate busine-ia in stocks and bonds, and
on some days there was scarcely enough doing to make live
quotations in certain securities which are usually prominent.
The reports and rimiors from abroad have done much to
keep our market unsettled, although it was apparent that the
London money market was not disturbed, as the Bank rate
wa.s kept at 3 per cent, and there seemed to be no trouble or
apprehension. The Argentine difficulties do not clear up in a
.satisfactory manner, and the embarrassments in that quarter,
considering the immense expenditure of European capital, have
served to show up by comparison the greater safety of American railroads as an investment. If the rajwrts concerning
the affairs of the Messrs. Baring were true, it was their holdings of Atchison bonds and stock which were more easily
dispoeed of than other assets when it was found necessary to
realize on something.

Railroad bonds have not been particularly active, but have
generally gained a little in strength of tone during the last
few days. Several bonds have touched this week the lowest
prices ever reached, notably the Atchison 43 at 75%, incomes
Paat 38% and Reading 1st pref. incomes at 473^. Texas
cific 2a mort. incomes sold quite freely at times and touched
29^, closing at SIJ^. Atchison4s close at 77J^, incomes at 40^
and Reading 1st pref. incomes at 49. Dealings have been very
dull and the tone has latterly been better, the low prices failing to bring out bonds. The Louisville N. A. & Chic, consols
jumped from 84 last Friday to 91 on Tuesday and close at 86}^,
and it is presumed the April interest has been arranged for.
&
—
and Miscellaneons Stocks. There has been
animation in the market, and the active dealings have been limited to a few stocks. The situation of
affairs abroad has been watched with much interest, and the
disturbing rumors have served to keep our market unsettled.
On Thursday the trouble of the bank in Paris which was involved with the Argentine difficulties was the bete noir of the
day, and prevented any advance in stocks. The Western
stocks and Louisville & Nashville have still been the most
active of the list, and they are showing a steadier tone, with
the appearances of having been Sold down about as far as practicable, under present circumstances.
There was a healthier
tone and more lite in the general list after twelve o'clock today than we have seen for some time, and there was an advance of 1^ to 1 per cent in many stocks. In the last hour
the coal stocks were notably weak and fell off 1 per cent on
Reading, about 2 per cent on Lackawanna and Delaware &
Hudson and 3J4 on Jersey Central.
Louisville & Nashville has been favorably influenced this
week by the election of Mr. M. H. Smith as President and
M!r.
August Belmont as Chairman of the Board. St.
Paul shows a surplus of $1,269,399 for the six months
ending Decemljer 31, 1890, over and above its charges and
the dividend on preferred stock, and the stock sold up to

over 1888; oi)erating expenses increased 15'9 per cent over
1889 and 1 3-5 per cent over 1888; net earnings decreased 7'4
increased 16'2 per cent over
fer cent compiired with 1889 and
S88. The tonnage mileage, or tons hauled one mile, increased
in 1890 no less than 21 '95 per cent, and the passengers carried
one mile increased 19'46 per cent over 1889, and these two
items account for the large increase of $1,003,031 in expenses
of conducting transportation. The increase of $501,710 for
maintenance of way was due chiefly to the laying of 55 miles
of steel in the tracks and to the maintenance of an average
of 90 miles more of road, and increased expenses in the bridge
and building departments. The maintenance of cars increa8e<i
$396,476, owing to increased renewals and repairs. In 1890
the average rate per ton per mile was 1*03 cents, against 1'13
in 1889, 1-15 in 1888, 1-33 in 1887, 1-38 in 1886, 1'38 in 1885,
1-46 in 1884, 1-57 in 1883 and 1-63
1883.
This decrease is
partly due to a reduction in rat«s, but also due in part to an increase in low-class tonnage carried, such as grain and coal.
The oiierations, grass earnings, operating expenses and surplus earnings of all lines operated for the years 1889 and 1890

and a weak report from Liverpool
at the South
some "long" orders
caused a further decline; but
came upon the market, and these, with buying to cover, led
to the recovery of most of the early decline. On Wednesday
a larger spot business at Liverpool gave a moderate degree of
steadiness to our prices, but dealings were slow until New
Orleans reported a smart advance in futures, when our market became active and buoyant. It was said that buying
orders to a moderate extent were received from the South.
Yesterday the market was active and excited, prices varying widely. There was some speculative manipulation in the
bull interest, said to be for Liverpool account. To-day the
opening was slightly dearer in response to much better prices
for futures at Liverpool and an active spot market there, but
selling to realize caused our values to decline sharply, and
they lost yesterday's advance. Cotton on the spot advanced
i^c. on Monday, declined l-16c. on Tuesday and advanced
i-16c. on Thursday. The market to-day was dull at 9c, for
middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 661,000

Cbaigsidk, steamer (Br.), from Galveston for Liverpool, ashore at
Ocracoke Inlet, N. C. Fourteen hnnrtred bales of cotton have been
landed from steamer Craigslde. The vessel is leaking freely, and
a donkey engine Is employed eight hours every day te pump her
out. Her stern post Is gone. It i^ thought that when eome more
of her cargo Is discharged the steamer will float; probably this
week if the weather continues good. Her stern is four points off
the beach, and she Is lying head on.
Gbantstwyth, steamer (Bi-.), at Amsterdam, from Savannah. A barge
laden with cotton from steamer Glanystwytb took lire March 9.

Indian corn was advanced early in the week by speculative
manipulation, the shorts being forced to cover contracts, and
on Wednesday an estimate from the Department of Agriculture that only 540,000,000 bushels remained in the hands of
growers, against 970,000,000 last March, gave renewed buoyancy to the market. There seems to be reason to apprehend
an absolute scarcity. It is within the memory of people in
the trade that com brought more than whsat. Yesterday the
market was buoyant, a scarcity before the next crop can be
made available being generally conceded. To-day the spot
market was firmer, but the later futures declined.

AOBICOLTURAL DEPARTMENT'S REPORT FOR MARCH.— The
Department of Agriculture for March,
issued oD the 10th inst., relates to the distribution of wheat
and corn as follows
The rfsults of the estimates makes the farmers' referve of com 36 4
p^r cent of the crop, in comparison with 45"y per cent last year; in
bushels 542,000,000, against 970,000,000 last year. This is the lowest
recent resen-e, eiccpi tuat from the smaller crop of 1887 and that from
he crop of 1883. The poree itage retaliud In the seven corn-surplus
SUV es Is less than In other States. The proportion estimated for consumption where grown la relatively large, 87-4 per cent, against 81'8
per cent last year. The (luautity shipped or to be shipped from the
farms Is therefore only 188,000,000 bushels, or leas than half the sur:
plus of last y^ar.
The proportion ot the merchantable crop Is 79'5 per cent, against
85-7 per cent la«t year. The pioduotlon is therefore slightly under the
average in (luality. The average price of merchantable com Is 55*8
cents per bushel ot unmerohautanle a2-9 cents. The aggrouate value
of the crop, on this basis, is $761,000,000, ueaily $7,000,000 mure
than the December valuutlon. an advance of about 1 per cent, Obtabllshlng the oubstantial aciuracy of the December estimate.
The proportion of wheat still in the hands of farmers is lower tnan
an average of the last ten years, the lange being from 26 to 33 per
cent. It is i8-2 per cent, or 112,000,000 busliels. It has been lower In
only two years of the last ten— after the meagre oiops of 1881 and 1885,
wh oh wore smaller than tliat of 1890. Including the visible stocks the
supply Is 13.n,000,000 bushels. The consumption of the last twelve
nonths is estimated at 2t(».o00,000. seed ueed 53,000,000, and exports
about 98.000,000 from March 1, 1^90.
The low percentages of the spring-wheat States are esi)eclally noticeable. Halt oi the present st icks will bo required for spring seeding.
The proportion of the crop estimated lor consumption within the countrj is .521 per cent, against 481 last year.
The average weight per measured bus tiel Is 57'2 pounds. The average of 1889 was 57-7 pounds, which was the precise average of seven
erops from 1883. In bushels 1 1 60 pounds the aggregate is 381,000,000,
or 90,000,000 less by weight than the preceding crop.

The value of the New York exports since January 1 hare
been $3,210,032 in 1891, against $1,360,354 in 1890.
Staple cottons were in irregular demand, by turns light
and fair in their movement. Nothing like real animation
was apparent in any quarter, but plain and colored cottons
did moderately well, in reaponse to the demands of jobbers
and manufacturers. Brown sheetings fouad a light outlet to
exporters, and drills, bleached sheetings, cambrics and
white sheetings were all in light request and precisely as last
reported. Ticks, denims and woven shirtings were distributed in small quantities by agents. Corset jeans, dyed duck,
stripe, plaids, checks and flat- fold cambrics were very quiet.
Quilts were in fair demand, and fancy white good scrims,
curtain drapery and table damasks of the fancy kind moved
out quite strongly on account of back orders. Prices were

FOBEION Dry Goods.—This market had a decidedly commonplace week of it. Visiting buyers were numerous but
conservative, and few large transactioos are reported in any
department. Dress goods continue the most active feature of
the market, and are selling well in all classen, plain and
fancy, save mohairs. Black lustres are in moderate request,
but in colors and fancies the fabric is neglected. Prices are
steady in all departments. Jobs are virtually non-existent,
and stocks are not seriously plethoric in any quarter. Printed
Indias and pongees are the only things favored in dress silks.
Ribbons, velvets, woolens and worsteds, hosiery, linens, laces
and embroideries are all quiet.

dress cottons, woven wash dress fabrics, challies and scrims.
In brief, the market may be summarized as fairly steady, free
from positively weak spots. Buyers have been securing concessions here and there, but only on goods that have palpably failed to suit the public taste. The week has been devoid
of sensational or even specially interesting features. The
market needs a period of clear weather and spring tempera-

DoMESTio WooLESS.—This department has had a quiet,
featureless week. A comparatively small company of package buyers have supplied about all the business. The clothing manufacturers had their representatives in the field, but
they did little aside from an inspection of goods. Agents are
hopeful and expect a fairly good re-order movement later on.
Cheviots, kerseys and fancy cassimeres (cotton-warp) have
led the demand.
Cheap wool cassimeres and suitings in the
worsted classes have been sluggish. Both cloakings and
overcoatings of all classes were quiet, as also were satinets
aud thj whole range of miscellaneous woolens.

The movement of trade in this market has been rather
tame and altogether featureless during the past week. The
only apparent reason for the prevailing quietness is the
weather. It has been persistently disagreeable, and nicely
calculated to discourage buyers of spring and summer fabrics.
The attendance of out-of-town buyers has been only fair,
and by no means as large as usual at this season of the year.
Buyers representing houses at near-by points have naturally
refrained from visiting the market on rainy days, and conseSuently the bulk of the week's spot demand has come from
lie more distant buyers now in the city on their semi-annual
