There is certainly no activity in the demand for money for commercial purposes, but there appears to have been no retrograde movement in trade. Business is being carried on with The judicious caution, and failures are comparatively few. complaints on the Stock Exchange are, however, very serious, the number of daily transactions being fewer than for some time past.

Tirard, the French cents has Finance Minister, in his address on the subject, said that theState was about to effect the conversion, not because the moneywas wanted, but becau.se the operation was desirable. It seemed, however, to him that no better ground could be urged for the Government than that the conversion was necessary to secure the equilibrium of the Budget, which was actually the case. Of late years they had been going on a little too fast, the receipts not having grown in the same prjportion as the expenses, and hence the Budget of 1882 was in deficit. Tho Budget of 1883 would be in the same situation. The financial situation was, however, not bad, providing expenses were cut down. As to treasury bonds, the Government had the right toissue up to four hundred millions, and at the present time there action of the were but two hundred millions' worth in circulation. That proved that the situation was not as gloomy as was pretended. Instead of making some thought it new impost, the Government had economy by a conversion better to effect a desirable of the debt. 2 2« 2 The imports of wheat continue large, but the supplies of homegrown produce arriving at the various markets are only moderate.

Suit was brought some years ago in the Western courts on behalf of the holders of the $4,300,000 of preferred stock to have it given priority to the second mortgage bonds as a lien upon the road. This was denied, and the decision is afflrmad by the Supreme Court; but the status of the seven years' accumulated dividends on the preferred stock as against the common stock was not brought into question. —Attention is Read & Stafford The gentlemen composing this firm called to the card of Messrs. in to-day's Chp.onicle. have had a large commercial and financial experience, and, with their fine suite of offices in the Mills Baildiag, possess every facility for dealing in stocks and bonds to the satisfaction of cnstomeis. —•Stern's U.

Hence, If tho crop Is snc^essfnl an n In a very ordloanr a«grse, the Increase of tho already vast mun annnally realized by the farmers of Texas upon the sale of their eott«o ean not hut be a decided one.

In Indiaiuv the condition averages 75. and New Jirsey reports 101, both the same as in April. All the reuiainiug northern Stales show an Improvement since the April reiwrt, as well as the Faeiflo Coast, and nearly all of the Southern States. The averages are Connecticut, 90 Pennsylvania, 95 Delaware, 85 Maryland, 99 Virginia, 97; North C.irdiua, 96; South Carolina, 93; Georgia, 97; Alabara.i, 9s Mississippi. 92; Tex,i«, 87; Arkar.8as, HO; Tennessee, 88; West Virginia, 90; Kentucky, 81; Kansas, 91; California, 77; : ; ; ; [Vol. ciused rather more inquiry for some descriptions of fall goods, for which jobbers in remote sections of the country are desirous of securing cheap transportation, but transactions in this connection have been only moderate as yet. The weather has become more f.ivorable for the retail tiade, and large quantities of summer goods are at length pa'^sing into consumption; but retailers are amply stocked for the present, andsome time must neces.«arily elapse ere much improvement in the demand can be expected by the wholesale houses. Domestic Cotton Goods. The exports of cotton goods for the week reached the handsome aggregate of 5,204 packages, of which 1,523 were shipped to China, 1,247 to Africa, 1,160 to Madagascar, 883 to Great Britain, 111 to U. S of Colombia, 105 to Brazil, &c. There was a better demand for brown sheetings and drills at first hands, and some large sales were made to exporters at a slight advance upon prices of a fortnight ago. Bleached goods were in irregular demand but steadier, because of the upward tendency of the cotton market, and colored cottons, especially cheviots and cnttonades, ruled quiet. Cotton Hannels and wide sheetings continued in fair request, and considerable deliveries were made by agents on account of back orders. Print cloths were fairly active and dearer, closing at 3 11-iec. for 64x64 "spots," 3%c. for 64x64 "futures" and 3]4@ 3 3-16c. for 56x60s. Prints were quiet in the regular way, but some fair-sized lots of "off" styles were disposed of by means of low prices', and stocks are well in hand as a rale. Domestic Woolen Goods. There was a slight improvement in the demand for men's-wear woolens, the Western and nearby clothing trade having been fairly represented in the market. Oper.tio.is were, however, conducted with more than usual caution, and selections, though footing up a fair aggregate amount, were chit-fly of a hand-to-mouth character. Fancy cassimeres and suitings were more sought for, but purchases were individually light and mostly restricted to a few specialties. Worsted coatings ruled quiet, but stocks are in good shape and prices remain s'eady. Satinets were less active, but there was a freer movement in heavy doeskin jeans at the low prices lately established for leading makes. White flannels have received more attention, but other flannels and blankets were mostly quiet, and there was only a limited business in blankets. Dress Goods continued in modeiate request, and some fair orders for w.j 'jq hosiery and knit underwear were — — placed for future deliv» /. FoKEiQN Dkt Goods - -Importers have experienced a very light demand for forei .-n goods during the week, but a fair busine.Hs was done by some of the leading jobbers. Silks and satins were only in modeiate request, and operations in dress goods were confined to a few specialties, as nun's veilings, grenadines, light cotton fabrics, &c. Linens, white goods, laces and embroideries ruled quiet, and men's-wear woolens were .slow of sale; but there was a steady business in hosiery and fabric gloves. Importatlona of Dry Goods. of dry goods at this port for the week 1833, and since January 1, and the same facts The importations ending M^y 10. for the corresponding periods of 1882. are as follows: S D ; This is an improvement of 15 points in California and 17 in Oregon. The average condition of the winter wheat is 83ia, against 80 in April. t he lo.«8 in area from re-planting in other crops may be assumed to reduce the prospect Lo that of April 1. In 1879 and 1880 the general average was 99. in 1331 it was 88, iu 1882 it was 102 iu M»y of last A 1 1^ o ; Oret'on. 72. cr 1: "3 o a, ' a •« a fiifif • ;'.••• c • ! : i i i 3ii c mil *s ','.',','> . rt T £ 1 In former years there were uo .May returns. Two years ago the averajre declined to 80 iu July. Last year it Increased to 104 at the time of cutiin.g. It should be'uuderstood that in Di>p»rtineni; reports of condition, 100 means a medium growth, with a fall stand and a healthy plant. Ohio and Illinois State rei)ort8 compare with last year's crop. Thus. Ohio reports for May 56 compared with last year, aad 02 compared With an average crop. The spring wheat area will not be complete till May 15 and will be reported .luue 1 The statistical agent for Dakota makes the probable increase 30 per cent. The agent for Minnesota reported 80 per cent of last year's area already planted. An increase of 15 per cent is reported in Washington Territory. It la not probable that iuerease iu spring wheat area will more than make good the loss of winter wheat aci-i age. Witliout regard to the sprlug wheat breadth, the present prospect for the winter wheat area, in consideration of reduced condition and acreage, Is 20 per cent less than in May last, representing a loss of about 77,000. . 000 w pU — '- zp aj n t— 'lO CO -J ^ z M »— -qw CCCXh-W 00 *^it» CtiCtOO — Fhidat, p.

The seventy of .March was followed by three weeks of dry weather, which was succeeded by one week of invigorating rain. The season is still backward and higher temperature is needed. The small area or auritig sown wheat lu iinglaud is thiu, and much of It will be displaced by barley. In France and Uermauy rain is needed and higher temperature necessary. With reduced acreago in Western Europe and some injury from Ireezing in March, a reduced crop appears to be Inevitable. Iu AustilaHuugary the prospect is favorable for at least a medium crop. n ^ ; year 100. XXXVl.
