It will be observed
that the
gain in net earnings is
almost as great as in gross.
In other words, an increased
business was done at but little additional outlay in
expense.
The twenty-five roads increased their gross
earnings $4,053,950, or only about 8 per cent, but increased
their net earnings $4,013, 895, or pretty nearly 25 per
cent.
What is most noteworthy, however, is that the
improvement is so general all over the country. Out of the
twenty-five roads given there are only six that do not
record larger net earnings than in the previous year, and
the falling off shown by these six is almost in all cases
traceable to some special circumstance, such as bad
weather or some other unfavorable meteorological influ¬
ence.

The

that figure, and the result is that the Bank is now transacting
a large business.
This fact is borne out by the important in¬

The
following particulars relating to the movements in bullion
during the week are from Messrs. Pixley & Abell’s circular :
.

The Queensland National Bank announces that it is pre¬
pared to receive subscriptions to £2,500,000 in four per cent
debentures of the Queensland Government, the present issue
being part of an authorized total of £3,733,000. The loan is
secured upon the consolidated revenues of the colony, and is re¬
quired partly for public works and partly for the redemption of
£707,500 six per cent debentures maturing next January. The
price of issue is £97 per £100 bond, and the principal is repay¬
able in 1915. The existing indebtedness of the colony is £13,125,000, while the population is only 227,000.
Tenders for the Tasmania Government four per cent loan
for £500,000 were opened on Wednesday at the Bank of New
South Wales. The amount tendered was £500,200 at prices
ranging from the minimum up to £101 13s. 6d. per £100 bond,
the average price being £98 10s.
The production of wheat in India is increasing upon a some¬
what rapid scale, and, now that the means of transportation are
obtainable at a reduced cost, there is every probability of
farther increase. The subject is one of great importance both
to producers and consumers, and, as America is largely inter¬
ested in it, the United States Consul-General at Calcutta has
been asked to report upon it.
He states that the quantity of
wheat exported during the past five years has been as follows :
Iu 1877-78, 12,175,853 bushels ; in 1878-79, 2,170,631 bushels ;
in 1879-SO, 4,312,418 bushels ; in 1880-81, 14,012,291 bushels,
and in 1881-82,37,185,481 bushels. He also considers that India
possesses “ facilities for increasing the supply to an" almost
CHUONlCLE
1HE
552
unlimited extent, owing to the great elasticity of the home con¬
sumption and the vast amount of land awaiting cultivation ;
and, finally, that with a fair average crop throughout the world
the American farmer will have to prepare himself to reduce the
cost of production to the lowest minimum, and be content with
small profits, or else wheat-growing in India will be stimulated
to such an extent that subsequent competition may become
extremely formidable.”
Advices from Egypt state that the state of the crops is excel¬
lent, thanks to the ample irrigation of the various canals. The
wheat crop is large in quantity, and good in quality.
The weather has been unsettled and variable during the past
week, and vegetation, though making some progress, has to
some extent been kept in check.
The indications of a late

demand except for the pur¬
pose of supplying actual wants. A steady business for consump¬
tion only is in progress, and the quotations have scarcely
varied since last week. Supplies are fully adequate to our
requirements, and, as we shall soon be receiving wheat from Bal¬
tic ports, the prospects of late harvests in the northern hemis-:
phere excite no apprehension. A liberal exportation of wheat, of
gocd quality, from Russian ports, is regarded as certain, not¬
withstanding the low prices current in this country. Indian
corn and oats have realized somewhat higher quotations, and
the value of barley, beans and peas has been well supported.
The following are the quantities of wheat, flour and Indian
corn estimated to be afloat to the United Kingdom:

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—There has
been
further progress towards
past week.
ease
on stock collaterals have several times
been as low as 2 per cent, which is the lowest figure this year.
Sixty-day money on the same collaterals has been freely offered
in the last day or two at 4 per cent.
Rates for discount of
mercantile paper have remained nominally unchanged, but
discounts for all desirable paper have been easier, and judging
from the fact that the domestic exchanges (except Boston)
have been in favor of New York for
weeks past, a
further
supply of loanable funds in New York is to be
some
expected.
The accumulation of money
in this market has been more
tardy than at the corresponding season of last year. This was
largely owing to tlie fact that the grain movement at the West
kept up in greater volume and up to a later date than last year.
It is also believed that collections'in the interior
were
slower.
The
redemption of between $7,000,000 and $8,000,000 of called
bonds by the U. S. Treasury on and after
May 1, threw a largo
amount of money into the market in the first two weeks
of
May, and this was accompanied by a very heavy return flow
of currency from the interior, which latter movement still
continues actively in progress.
The general mercantile and industrial situation, while it is
not satisfactory for the immediate present, owing to the con¬
tinuance of failures among tradesmen in excess of last
year,
and in view of the recent strikes among coal miners at the
West, and the pending strike among the iron workers in the
Western mills on June 1st, has some very
encouraging features
in the prospect of good crops. There has been a marked im¬
provement in the condition of the winter wheat crop, and the
prospects of the spring wheat crop were never so good at this
season of the year.
On the other hand, speculation in the
grain market, and especially in wheat, lias advanced the price
until it has materially checked the export movement from
this country.
The Bank of England at its
weekly meeting on Thursday
made no change in the rate of discount.
The Bank lost
£691,000 in specie during the week, reducing its reserve to
82% per cent from 33 7-1G per cent the previous week. The
Bank of France gained 3,230,000 francs in the same
time, of
which 2,100,000 francs were gold.
There is still a moderate investment demand in the
foreign
markets for American railroad bonds, but not
nearly so large
as a month or so
ago, while stocks are coming this way in
considerable amounts.

very
decided
falling off in the past week in the business in railroad bonds,
and a general decline of prices in the latter part of the week,
though to-day the tendency on the active issues was again
upward. Early in the week the decline was small, but later the
market for raikoad bonds sympathized with the decline in the
stock market.
the week of
The West Shore bonds show a decline for
about 1 per cent,
Wabash general mort¬
gage 6 s, 4 per cent, Boston Hartford & Fries, G per cent,
Atlantic & Pacific incomes, less than one per cent, Kansas &
Texas 2ds, 2% per cent, Richmond & Danville debentures, 2 per
cent, East Tennessee
Virginia & Georgia incomes, 1
per cent.
The dealings in other railroad bonds were smaller than in those
above mentioned and the declines usually less.
On Thursday
the decline was in many cases larger than here
given, a part
of the loss having been recovered
to-day.
Last week it was said of the Atlantic & Pacific that
reports
had been current of the-sale to foreign
capitalists of a large
amount of the company’s bonds.
This should have read lands
instead of bonds, as it was changed by a
typographical error.
State bonds were dull during the early
part of the week and
lower in the last few days. Notice was given on
Thursday
that upon the arrival of State Treasurer Thomas of Tennessee
in New York the process of
refunding the State debt will be
resumed.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
lias been a good deal demoralized, and there was an almost
continuous decline each day until Friday, and even at the
opening
Friday the market was very feverish and uncer¬
afternoon, however, there was some improve¬
ment in prices, and the tone of the market much better.
It is
difficult to assign any one general cause for the distrust in
regard to the future of stocks which prevailed in the earlier
part of the week. Apprehensions of rate-cutting at the West
had some influence ; diminished earnings for
April as compared
with March may have also had some effect; but
probably the
features which had most effect were the damaging
reports cir¬
culated about Louisville & Nashville, Wabash, and several
others, all of which are believed to have had but little, if any,
foundation in fact. Many persons, also, who had carried
stocks for a month or two past, in hopes of an advance, were
tired out and threw their holdings over. The bears took ad¬
vantage of the situation and helped to increase the decline.
In the general situation, however, as far as the crops are con¬
cerned and the prospect of good earnings in the fuiure, there
would seem to be nothing to warrant an important decline.

speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
week. The Liverpool
market was closed on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, for the
Whitsuntide holidays, and we naturally felt the absence of its
reports. Th ere was with us a smart advance on Saturday, a
moderate one on Monday, and some further improvement on
Tuesday morning, caused,it was asserted, by speculative manip“
illation for the purpose of affecting values at Liverpool when
that market should re-open on Wednesday; but Tuesday
closed slightly lower than Monday. Liverpool did re-open
buoyantly, and reported a material improvement on the figures
of the previous Friday, but we made no response, and Wed¬
nesday closed at a decline from Tuesday of 11@13 points for
this crop, and 6@7 for the next. Thursday opened slightly
dearer, but soon became dull and depressed, though late in the
day there was a sharp advance for May and June, which closed
11@12 points dearer,while the other months advanced only 3@
6 points. To-day prices fell off rapidly soon after the opening,
but partially recovered, closing 10(a) 13 points lower for this crop
and without material change for the next. Cotton on the
spot has been quiet. Quotations were advanced l-16c. on Sat¬
urday and %c. on Monday, and reduced l-16c. on Tuesday and
1-16c. on Wednesday.
To-day.the market was easy at 11c. for
middling upland, with more doing for export.

Lincoln, steamer (Bi\), from New Orleans for Havre, before
ported recently ashore at South Pass, had re-loaded the Un¬
charged portion of cargo, and proceeded for destination May 10.
Cu'bano, steamer (Span.), Borica, from New Orleans, April 18, for Liver¬
pool, put into Queenstown May 10 with machinery out of order.
Main, steamer (Ger.), from New York, at Brcmerhaveu. About 200
bales of cotton, discharged from steamer Main, and destined for
Hamburg, were badly damaged by tire and water on April 29,
while lying on tho quay.
Murciano, steamer (Span.), from New Orleans. May 10, for Liverpool.
The reported tire in tho hold of the steamship ;viureiaua
(Spaa.), at
New Orleans on May 8, was erroneous. The tire was in the cotton
on the wharf, 13 b lies of which were

freights the past week have been

Flour has sold but moderately, and has shown more or less
weakness.

grades have been the most difficult to sell,
and the commoner brands have shown the least depression.
Most of the Minnesota mills are now, it is said, in operation;
clears are in limited supply and have been in fair demand for
foreign markets. As the heated term approaches buyers as a
rule are, however, cautious in their purchases of all kinds, for
fear of their supplies spoiling on their hands. To-day grades
worth more than $0 were dull; those under that price sold
pretty well and ruled about steady.
Wheat has been, quiet for export, but fairly active on specu¬
lation. Prices have declined 2 to 3 cents per bushel. The de¬
pression has been due to a declining market in Chicago and also
t) some weakness in the foreign quotations. The cro£ advic33

advance in options for the week, owing to
stronger Western markets, particularly at Chicago, where the
receipts of late have been small and the shipments larger.
Here the quantity ofFered has been moderate, while the export
demand has been liberal at tim^s. The slowness in the Western
crop movement has stimulated speculation, and the backward
spring has also had some effect in the same direction. To-day
the market was irregular, opening
lower, with the de¬
cline recovered later and a slight advance then established; No.

been fairly active at some decline. To-day, however, the mar¬
ket was firmer; No. 2 mixed sold at 481%e. for May, 48%@4S?4e.

Britain, 814 to China, 177 to U. S. of Colombia, 119 to Venezu¬
ela, 74 to British West Indies, etc. The demand at first hands
has been quite moderate, save in the case of a few specialties,
as cotton flannels, four-yard brown
sheetings, denims and dyed
ducks, in which a fairly gcod business was done with jobbers
and converters. The market continues steady as far as the best
makes of plain cottons, wide sheetings, satteens, flat-fold cam¬
brics, etc., are concerned, but colored cottons are more or less
unsettled, and plaid osnaburgs have been reduced by agents.
Print cloths have been less active, but prices are nominally un¬
changed at last week’s quotations. Prints continued dull in
first hands, except such styles of light fancies as were offered
at very low figures, and in these there was a fair movement
toward the close of the week.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—The demand for meu’s-wear wool¬
ens
has been
light aud somewhat disappointing to manufactur¬
ers’ agents. Cassimeres, suitings and worsted coatings continued
to move in fair quantities on account of orders
placed early in

result of the auction sale alluded to above before continuing
their j u :*chases. Kentucky jeans and doeakms have been rather
more active, some fair-sized lots
having been taken by local and
out-of-town jobbers. Satinets were relatively quiet, but prices
are steady on such makes as
govern the market.
White flan¬

early buyers, but transactions were only moderate in the aggre¬
