TIIU
NEXT COTTON CROP*
To the Editor of the Chronicle:
There are some considerations worth keeping (in view if we
would estimate rightly the probabilities as to the next cotton
crop.
deeply in debt; consequently the pressure en the part of the
merchant)* in forwarding the crop was not so great, and it
should be remembered that this is an important factor in determining the movement of any crop. When it is generally
believed to be large, and the estimates are continually being
increased, the merchants take it rather quietly, and the planters
devote all the time possible to picking and storing away in gin
houses, to be ginned at a more convenient season. But when
the crop is known to be short, every effort and device is used to
encourage and coerce the planters to gather, gin and deliver
their crops, and the cotton is hurried to market, where it can
be made available in paying the debts due the merchant. And
as the last crop has not been sufficient to nearly pay the debts
incurred by the planters, the efforts of creditors to get hold of
it have been unusually urgent.
The interruption in the movement of the small amount of
cotton still on the plantations by the excessive rains and overflow, is of shght importance compared to the serious drawback
to planters in getting ready for another crop. At this time last
year a great deal of land was in a forward state of preparation throughout the South, but up to this time little or nothing
has been done in any section, and generally the land is so saturated with water it will be weeks before any effective vvork can
be done, even should the unprecedentedly rainy season give
place to the most genial weather.
But this is not the worst feature of the prospect, for I do not
hesitate to say, and to emphasize it most positively, that for
years past the South has not beem ia a worse condition financially, into which it has been gradually led by the ease with
which credit was to be obtained. The crops of 1879-80,
1880-81 and 1881-82 were commenced, and the first two carried
through, with credit at high-tide. Merchants were not only
willing, but anxious, to furnish planters all they would buy, and
under the influence of greatly inflated credit the acreage was
largely increased, and all other influences combining favorably,
enormous crops were produced, going so far beyond the most
sanguine expectations that extravagant figures made at random, and often for effect, proved to be most accurate, and has
led to the adop tion of the most exaggerated ideas as to the
unbounded capacity of the South for the production of cotton;
and many people have jumped to the conclusion that the acreage will be increased every year 10 to 15 per cent, and hence
they predict with much confidence, before the crop is planted,
that it will be half a million to a million bales larger than the
preceding crop; and so generally has this idea been inculcated
that nothing but severe experience will correct it. To properly
comprehend the question it must be remembered that the cotton is made almost entirely on credit; therefore, when times
are flush and credit to be had not merely for the asking, but
absolutely pressed on the planters, as it has been for the past
three years, the crop (with reasonable weather) will be enormous ; but when the reaction is such that it is difficult for even
planters in good circumstances to get advances, the crop, under
the most favorable conditions as to weather, will be a small one.
The South at present is beginning to feel severely the effect of
a reaction, dUe mainly to the actual inability of a majority of
merchants to furnish the necessary supplies; while others who
have the ability are so discouraged by the results of the last crop
they will enter into ^engagements with unosual caution. The
First, in comparing this overflow with that of 1859 it must
be remembered that planting then was carried on by men of
large means and unlimited credit, who had 200 to 1,000 laborers
under personal control, perfectly disciplined and thoroughly
organized. Now each of those laborers must make arrangements for himself, and with most of them it would have been
a difficult matter before the overflow, and it will be impossible
for a large part now, as they have lost the stock upon which
they would have based their claim for credit. I of course do
not mean that no cotton will be raised in the overflowed section, for it 19 possible that a fair crop may yet be grown; but
the chances are very largely against it.
Another point in
regard to an overflow, it is well to know, is this: If it comes
before the land has been "bedded up" it is much worse than
when it occurs after that work has been completed. If before,
then planters have to wait about two weeks for the ground to
dry out sufficiently to admit of planting, but when it occurs
after the land has been "bedded up" cotton can be planted as
fast as the water recedes and will spring up quickly.
Then, again, the preparations for the last crop were begun
when the "boom" was in full blast, the future was bright, and
merchants, through whose assistance planting operations were
mainly carried on, were liberal in their offers of advances, and
planters were equally liberal in accepftngr, and exerted every
effort to put in all the cotton possible.
The agents of commercial fertilizers were also especially active, and pushed their position of the planter now is one of extreme embarrassment;

various comments on this original action, and many believed
that it was taken with some shrewd purpose; but however that
may be, there is little doubt that it has had a good deal of influence on the market, since it appeared as a virtual declaration
that Mr. Gould was a bull on stocks.

State and Railroad Bonds.—The transactions in State bonds
have been moderate, and the quotations are given on another
page. The Governor of Tennessee has called the Legislature
together to meet next month and consider the debt question.
Railroad bonds have been reasonably active at advancing
prices. The bonds of a speculative character have advanced the
most.with the large rise in stocks, but with regard to many of
the good bonds it is worth while for investors to observe that
their prioes are now low as compared with the range of the
whole year 1881, and when confidence is fully re-established in
the stock market, bonds are likely to advance. Off our Board
list the new 6 per cent first mortgage bonds of N. Y. Chic. &
St. Louis are quoted at 79@80 for $10,000 lots, and Mexican
Central first mortgage 7s at 77 in Boston.
Railroad and Miscellaneons Stocks.— This has been a week
of pretty steady recovery, the tone growing stronger in the
past two days and the market closing active to-day .with a feelIt is impossible to say how far
ing that was akin to buoyancy
the leading bears have covered their short sales, but while some
may stand out we are inclined to believe that there has been a
large buying for the short account in the past two days. Some
of the foreign banking houses report that there has recently
been a good demand for American stocks and bonds from
abroad, and this accounts for the better supply of bankers' bills
here. But it has wholly been the case that foreign buyers were
most active when securities were high here and not when our
markets were depressed, as the English have so much confidence
in Yankee shrewdness that they are inclined to take what is in
good demand among the home purchasers. Aside from the
points noticed in the introductory remarks above, there have
been few developments of fact this week having any important bearing on the actual value of stocks. The Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul statement for 1881 is very good, and the
dividend on both classes of stock is better than had been
rumored a short time ago. The railroads of the Northwest are
doing a remarkably good business, and, when compared with
the small earnings of the winter months in 1881, their reports
present a marvellous increase. The annual dividend paid to the
New York & Harlem stockholdsrs from the profits of the city
lines (Fourth Avenue horse cars), not leased to the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad, is this year 2 per cent. It
was 3 per cent annually in prior ysars.
The New York Lake' Erie & Western Road has given out no
report of earnings since September last, and this very circumstance enabled the parties makinj? evil reports of the company k
finances to gain credence more easily.

the main tracks of the company in operation (6(51% miles)
about 4ti0 miles are laid with stHt-1 rails.
The report says " Pursuant to the action of the stockholders at the last annual me«-ting (and subsequently of the
board of directors), the company has made and executed, under
date of July Ist, 1881, a general mortgage to the United States
Trust Company of New York, as trustee, to secure an issue of
not exceeding $30,000,000 of flfty-year five per cent gold bonds.
This amount was determined upon to provide for future requirements of the company, although, for the present, an issue of
bonds in excess of the amount of ihe capital stock of the company
is not authorized by law. By the terms of the mortgage a sufficient amount of the bonds to be i.ssued thereunder is first set aside
and appropriated to provide for all the bonded indebtedness for
vrhich the company is liable, and over and above that sum a
limited amount is devoted to pay for extensions now underway,
and the rest for future extensions, acquisitions and equipment.
Thus far an issue of $1,000,000 of bonds under this mortgage
has been made, in connection with and for the purpose of, the
«itension of the main line from Pacific to and into St. Louis
<34 miles), the accjuisition of property in that city for station
:
fiTonnds and termmal facilities, the construction of the line from
Fayetteville to Fort Smith, Arkansas (65 miles), and the construction of the line from Joplin, Missouri, to Galena, Kansas
(10 miles). Until the completion and operation of those lines,
the interest charge thereon forms a part of the construction
account."
The report of the CommLssioner of the Land Department
shows that the aggregate sales of lands for the year amounted
to 210,717 acres, for $382,141. The quantity of land remaining
on hand unsold at the close of the year was 708,460 acres.
The estimated value of these, at that date, together with contracts on hand for lands sold and the cash assets, was $2,51 7,509.

of 1881 could have been done at the same rate as in 1880, the
earnings from freight would have been |1,012,515 larger. TJie
business would have been done at the same cost, and tne cost of
operation, which was 70'35 per cent, would have been reduced
to 69-39 per cent. The decrease in the cost of hauling tonnage
was due largely to the new consolidation engines, wnich were
put upon the road in the latter part of 1880 and the early part
of 1881, such engines hauling a much larger tonnage at a slight
increase of cost. It was due also partly to the large increase
of tonnage, causing trains to run with a fall load. These advantages were offset in a degree by the increased price of labor
and material in 1881 as compared with 1880.
The 2.700 cars provided for in the car trust were delivered in
1881, mostly in the fall of the year, the last deliveries having
been made in December. The full effect of this increased
equipment upon the car mileage balances was not realized during the year.
The stock bonds outstanding, including the amount of first
mortgage bonds issued to the holders of those bonds for the
interest not paid in cash, are as follows:

mature deliberation and much inquiry, determined
that ic would be advisable to bond the road at not less than
$10,000 per mile, securing the bonds by the usual railroad
mortgage, with a trustee located in the city of New York.
The bonds of this new issue would enable the company to
retire all previous bonds and to pay the debt of the city above
referred to. The bonds of the City of Natchez, and those of
the $200,000 series, are payable at the option of the obligors.
The new mortgage would enable us to put upon the market,
amply secured, nearly $1,000,000 in bonds, when the road is
completed to Jackson, and would provide bon<ls for the Columbus extension, as provision would be trade in the mortgage, as
is usual, for their issuance at the above rate as sections of five
or more miles should be completed." * * "We had hoped to reach
Jackson in February, but the loss of time above alluded to has
delayed the work so that we cannot accomplish this until some
time during the spring.
know of no obstacles in the way
of doing this that cannot be easily overcome."

have been $57,469, against |41,855 in 1880. The operating
expenses were $28,680, against $21,401 in the previous year
an increase arising from the operation of a greater extent of
road. The net receipts were |29,788, against $20,454 in the
previous year." * * "The company has met the interest on its
funded debt and maintained its creciit.
It will be remembered
that the company executed two mortgages which are in part
unsatisfied. One was for $200,000, which has been reduced by
payments to $176,200 the other is for $600,000, but after
selling 127,500 only of the bonds secured thereby, it was deemed
best to sell no more. The balance, $572,500. is held by trustees, to be applied as far as may be required to the extinction
of the balance due on the $200,000 mortgage, and the bonds of
the City of Natchez, given in aid of the road by the City
of Natchez, amounting to $225,000. It was intended to use
the excess of these mortgage bonds, over what was required for the above-named purposes, in construction. Since
the last-mentioned mortgage was executed, it was discovered
that, by reason of rules recently adopted by the New York
Stock Exchange, and of the general usage which now obtains
in regard to railroad securities, it will be necessary to provide
new security and new bonds, in lieu of the old, as more in
accordance with the demands of capitalists. We have there-

The comand known aH the 'Arkansas Itailroad Aid Bonds.'
plaint is tiled in the name of William H. Thomkins, of New
Ycrk, and asks for the app<iintraent of a receiver to take piwaemion of the road until payment is made. It also asks that a
decree be made compelling the company to return to the State
Treasury all the State aia bonds now Leid and owned by the
company, and whicli were puroh»sed for that purpose. This is
a test case, and if successful is to be followe<) by suits against
other road.-" to which Inrnds were issaed at the came time, viz.:
the Little Kock Pine HlulT & New Orleans, Mis-iissippi Ouachita
& Ked River, Arkansas CenfTnl, and Memphis & Little liack.
All of these roads, with the exception of the Central, are in
good condition and worth many times the amount of the bonds
isgned. The companies have bought up and hold a large por-
BM
tion of the bonos, with the view of returning them to the
Treasurer if held liable. The complaint asks that a decree^be
made compelling this to be done, and that the companies be
held liable for the remainder of the outstanding bonds. The
case will be heard before Judges McCrary and Caldwell at the
April terra of the United States Court."
Topcka & Santa Fe— Sonora.— The .Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Company has purchased the
Atrhliion
Sonora Railroad and secured an independent line to the Pacific.
The Tiaiuicript says: " The Sonora Company was organized
by Thomas Nickerson mere than three years ago to build a
line of road from Guaymas, on the Gulf of California, through
the Mexican State of "Sonora to the American border, there to
meet the Atchison system. The line bnally determined upon,
and now within a lew m''nths of Its completion, went almost
due north through Hermosilla, towards Tucson, and was to
meet the Atchison at Calabassas, 270 miles from Guayma.s.
The company has a government subsidy of $11,270 per mile, or
18.042,900 in Mexican silver— equal to '§2,608,200 in American
gold. 01 this subsidy $610,000 in Mexican money has been
paid to date. The road stands capitalized at $20,000 per mile
of seven per cent gold bonds, of which only $15,000 per mile
are issued or contracted for, and $20,000 per mile of stock
issued or to be is-sued, a total of $.5,400,000 in stock and
$4,050,000 in bonds. The contract of sale to the Atchison Company provides that the Atchison shall guarantee the interest
upon the first-mortgag^ seven per cent bonds and i-ssue one
share of Atchison stock for two shares of Sonora stock. This
gives the Atchison Road a valuable property for a guarantee
upon the bonds, provided the snbsiay is fully paid; for the
subsidy paid and to be paid amounts to $2'',608,200 in gold.
while the Atchison Road gives but $2,700,000 in stock at par for
the Sonora stock. This is one of the most important movements
ever made by the Atchison Company. It gives the system an
independent.Paciflc-coast outlet, and completes the longsst continuous line of railway in the world."

South, the falling of the rivers in middle latitudes, and sales to
realize profits, caused a considerable decline, which was followed by a weak opening on Wednesday. But later in the day
tsjpecnlation was reneweaon the general position of supply and
demand, and especially the delay in carrying out the stop or
short-time projects in Lancashire, and prices continued to
advance down to near the close of Thursaay's business. The
highest prices for this crop, on Thursday, were 25@28 points
above the lowest figures of Wednesday. To-day, the opening
was at a smart decline, under a freer movement of the crop,
including overland shipments, better weather generally, and the
continued fall of the Missis.sippi River, north of Vicksburg
and although the market \va.s subsequently steadier, the close
was 6 points below Thursday, Cotton on the spot was less
active for export early in the week, but showed some improvement on Thursday. For home consumption there has been a
fair business in progress. Quotations were advanced J^c. on
Saturday, l-16c. on Wednesday and l-16c. on Thursday. Today the market was unchanged, middling uplands closinsr at
12 3-16C.

though fluctuating somewhat, has
been generally stronger, and prices show a material advance
during the week. The specalation in futures has been at times
quite active, and a full aggregate btisiness has been done.
The
advance on Saturday was based on the overflow of the Mississippi River, the reduced visible supply, and the continued
small movement of the crop. Tuesday, better weather at the
bales.

prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantation?. Receipts at the outports are sometimes misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another, at the expense of the interior stocks. "We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comj)arative statement
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
like the following.
'.hat these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

JfbiWc, .!/«.— The month of January was remarkable for the length of
time raiu fell, though not for the quantity of rain.
Greene Springs, Ala.— There were not more than;fl\'e clear days during
the mouth of January. Theie were but few frosts, the ground being
frozen not more than two or three days. During the month of February
we have had Ave slight frosts. Peach trees began blooming about
the 14th, and were in full bloom by the 20th. Yellow jesaamine in
bloom 17th. The mild temperature contiimes.
New Orleans, ia.— Frosts on February 1 and 5.
Shrcreporl, La.—T]ii', month of January was remalrkable for cloudinesi
and almost incessant light raius. The high stage of water in the river
(caused by rains) had broken tlie levees twenty miles below this etavioii
and flooded plantations, destroying considerable property. Two thunder
storms, accompanied by high winds and heavy rains, have occurred
during February. The very high stage ol water iu the Rod River hug
caused ovei-flow of plantations and retarded the planting of crops, eto.
Should the present stage of water coutiuue or increast^, great loss of
property, such as pin-houses, stock, Ac, will probably result.
Fayette, Jfis«.— Light frosts ou Jan. 2 and 23. No storms.
Columbus, ilUs.—UveaX logs ot stock (mules and cattle) caused from
sudden and rapid risiug of the Tombigliee River duriug Jauuai-3-. The
river rose seven feet in one night, which was unexpected, as the river
was already
out of its banks.
Viekshurg, J/iss.— Fi-osts on Januar.v 2, 22 and 23, and very heavy
rainfalls during the month. Frosts o«"Feb. 1, 22 and 23.
Broohhaven, Jf/'s*.— Raiu commenced falling on Jan. 6 ard contiuued
until the 22d of the mouth, and during this time there were about ten
hours of sunshine. The greatest rainfall on any of these days Wiis 2-30
inches, which occuri-ed on the 2l8t.
ilouni Ilia, Arlc.—'Sii snow during February. Thunder storms on tll6
11th, 20th, 27th and 2tith.
Nashville, Tend.— Very heavy rains during the month of January.
Eiver above danger liiie from the 11th to 31.st. Fclu-Eiary has been
milder than any February since the establishment of station.
Ashirood, Tenn. January was a very rainy month. I liave no record
for twenty years of so much rain iu any one month. On the ui>:ht of

The Misaissippi Overflow. We are aaked to gire oar opinion
with regard to the reports as to the extent and effect of the
Mississippi overflow. It is impossible for anyone to answer
such a double irqairy at present, fn the first place, althocgh
the situation is evidently very bad, no one seems to know just
bow bad
it is.
Governor McEnery, of Lcuisiana, for instance,
ander date of tiarcb 13 telegraphs to Washington that the
reports are exaggerated, although the suffering is very great.
Then again, until the flood has reached its limit and subsided,
it seems nseless to try to measure its effect.
It \» a favorable
feature, if It should subside now, that it came in March instead
of April. The disastrous flood of 1874 continued all through
April, the highest water being recorded at Vicksburg (45 feet 8
inches above low water mark) on April 30 and Slay J, and at
New Orleans (7 inches above high water mark) on April 15, the
next two weeks being but very little lower; in fac', on the 2d of
May Kew
Orleans was still reported only 1 foot 6 inches below
high water mark. That year the record shows that the tota)
" breaks in levees exceeded 12 miles," and the total "extent of
bottom lands overflowed exceeded 25,000 square miles." These
are official statements, and when the facts with regard to this
year a^re settled and procurable, wa will make comparisons
which if attempted now would be mere estimate, and poor
at that.
The Livhepool Cotton Exchasob, Limited.—So long as
transactions in future deliveries remained small in number, the
Liverpool Cotton Brokers' Association was found to work
to the satisfaction of the trade.
But since the "future"

practicable to that of the New York Exchange. It Is to be
that particular of sales telegraphed to New York will give the
quantity sold as well as the price.
The Liverpool Cotton Brnkers' Association has thus far
refused to join the new organization; but as the Exchange does
not begin business before June 1, some compromise will probably be arranged to enable the two bodies to wotk harmoniously.
CorroN FOB Califorria.— We take the following from the
Galveston Daily News of March 9
•• W. F.
L»dd A Co. of this city, shipped, on the 7th Instant, 100 balca
:
of hlxh-Kradc cotton to
Ban Francisco, the tlrat shipment of the kind
ever made from Galveston. The cotton was shlppeil vliiihe Oalvcston
Houston A Hendt-rcon Koad. connecting with the all-rail route of the
(tould systeni to El Paso, thence to Baa Francisco via the Ciilifornia
Southern Pacific. It Is understood that a sultlcieutly low fi eight rate
was given tojuslity the shininent und to encourage a reciiiroeal Inter-
change of coniniodltlrs. Tills cotton Is used. It Is learned, fn Ciilifomla
woolen mills, where nilxejl fabrloa to some extent are manufactured.
In course of time California mty come to take largely of the Texaa
cotton crop lu the development of ber manufacturing Industries, la
wlilch event Galveston will be able to load returning cars bringing
grain to the Gulf for shipment. There Is much lu the possilillitles outllued by the opening up of the Pacltic coast trade, which Galvcstoa
business men seem disposed to take hold of und push with vigor."
Jute Bcttts, Baooixo, &c. There has been a fair demand
for jobbing wants, but the inquiry for large parcels is still light,
and buyers are not disposed to operate. There have been sales
of several hundred rolls of various grades at market rates, bat
for any quantity it is probable that something less would buy.
At the close holders are quoting 8M@8>6c. for 1^ lbs., 8H®9c.
for Wi lbs., 9M@10c. for 2 lbs., and 10M®Uc. for sUndard
grades. Jute butts are doing fairly in a small way, but the
market is not active. The "Senator" has arrived with a small
quantity. There have been sales of about 1,500 bales part
pa^er quality at 25'6®2?4c., and these are still the quotations,
while bagging grades are still held at 2^@3c.

wheat at the great Western
moderate.
In addition to these
inllaences so favorable to holders, the advices of an advance in
London, the large gain in specie by the Bank of England and
the increasing easiness of money on the Continent, have not
failed to have a certain effect.
A false report of complications
between Germany and Russia had only a momentary effect. Today was fairly active at an advance of 3^ to %a.; a feature was
the sale of several loads of No. 2 New York spring for eiport
at $1 25(@$l 28 ; No. 2 red for April sold at ?1 36©$1 37, and
for May at f 1 35?4@fl 38MIndian com has advanced materially.
The statistical
position is favorably regarded by many, the movement eastward being small, and the supply here quite moderate. Others
again assert that the surplus in farmers' hands is larger than
has generally been supposed, and that the apparent decrea.se
in the visible supply at Chicago, latterly noticeable, was caused
by a trick of the clique there, which chartered vessels at the
lake ports, and took the corn of store so that the real state of
the case would not be known until navigation opened and the
increased supply at Buffalo told the story. To-day the market
was q liet, at a slight advante ; No. 2 mixed sold at 74%c.
for April, and 75%c. for May.
Rye ha.s been irregular, at one time weak, but latterly more
steady. Barley has been quiet at a slight declin •. but closes
firmer.
Oats have been in fair demand and higher; to-day
prices were lowerfor mixed, with a fair bn^ness on the basis
of 50)ac. for No. 2 ou the spot, while optiont of this grade sold
at 50^c. for March, 50Vic. for April, and 49M®-'>0c. for May.

remain quiet aside from a few of the most popular makes, in
which there was a fair business, and the outlook is so discouraging in this branch of the trade that a large curtailment of
production has already taken place. Ginghams were sluggish

dress goods, but white goods, quilts, hosiery and knit underwear continued to move with considerable freedom at steady
