opinion is becoming very general that a 2 per cent Bank rate is
more than probable. Business throughout the country during
the remainder of the spring and during the earlier summer
months is Ukely to remain stagnant, and it is just as difficult
to foresee the future as it was months ago. Cheap money and
reasonable prices for food fail at the present time to give a
stimulus to activity quite as distinctly as they did last year,
and calculations and opinions regarding the future possess but

harm has probably been done. It is when late frosts
are accompanied by much rain that anxiety becomes reasonable.
For the cereal and other crops the weather has been satisfactory, and it cannot now be said that vegetation is in a

forward state. Some warm and genial rains will, in fact, soon
be welcome, especially in those districts where the soil is light.
The wheat trade has remained in a very dull and inactive
state.
Where sales are pressed, lower pricef have to be
accepted but there is no actual change. The course of the
wheat trade in the United States is being closely watched, and
buyers operate here with great, and no doubt judicious, caution.
It will be seen by the figures given below that although
the stocks of wheat in the United Kingdom are considerably
less than at the commencement of the year, they are largely

The Money Mai-ket and Finnnci.al Sitnation. A week
ago we referred to the general movement on the part of
manufacturers in all parts of the country, and in almost every
2,

—

line of industry, to reduce the cost of producing their goods by
reducing the wages of operatives, thus accepting the current
low prices of commodities as comparatively permanent, and
thus also requiring tlie railroads to prepare to accept tlie lower
rates of transportation that the changed conditions have forced
upon them, making a corresponding reduction in the cost of
operating. This latter reduction is now in progress on many
railroads, some of which are making contracts for the year for
coal at prices wliich will reduce the cost of fuel 10 per cent.
The Union Pacific Railroad also gives notice to its employes
of a reduction in wages and salaries on May 1st, which will
average probably 1 1 per cent of all salaries and wages paid,
and of course salaries constitute one of the main items in the
cost of operating a road. If, now, allowance be made for
the lower cost of all materials, supplies, &c., it will be seen

that we have here the means of very materially decreasing
the ratio of expenses to earnings, wliich later on may make
itself apparent in more favorable returns of not earnings.
Tlie movement of grain from the producers' hands to the
primary markets in the principal Western cities is steadily
diminishing, and the eastward movement of products also
diminished during the latter part of tlie past month. Tlie exports for the week to April 36 had not yet begun to show the
effects of the speculative rise in the isrices of wheat in
this country, and showed a slight increase over the preceding
week. But the fact that tlie price of wheat has been advanced
10 cents per busliel here, and has been met by little or no advance ill the foreign markets, shows that the American
markets liave got so far away from the foreign that exports
must again be expected to decline.
The advancing tendency of rates of interest in the New York
market, though not manifest in any very important change in
the quotations, lias still had a decided effect on the foreign
exchanges. Money is now so superabundant in London and
on tlie Continent that the slight hardening tendency here lias
been sufficient to cause a reduction of J2C. on the £ on sterling exchange, which brings it to figures where there is
scarcely any jirofit in making shipments. The total exports of
fold in the week from Friday the 2.5th to Friday, May 3, were
3,836,144, and about !J700,000 more has been engaged for sliipment to-morit)w.
Money on call on stock collaterals in the last week has
ranged from 1}/^ to 5 per cent, the great bulk of the transactions, however, being made at 2}^ to 3.
This is an advance
averaging about 1 xier cent over the range of tlie several
previous weeks, but it has been made more by an increasing
disposition of lenders to advance the rates, in view of the
possibility of a diminished supply later on, than from any
immediate decrease or any increase of demand. Money is
also still moving to this city from the interior, the domestic
exchanges in all the Western and Southern cities being in
favor of New York, and the prospect is fair of a contmued good
supply. Nevertheless there is less disposition to make time
loans at low rates. There is no more 'S}{ per cent time money,
though loans on dividend stocks can yet be had at 4 per cent.
Discount rates for mercantile paper remain uneJianged at 4
and 41^ for endorsed iiaper for 2 and 4 months and 5 and 5^
for single names.

The weekly statement

Bank of England showed a
and a reduction in tlie reserve to

of the

loss of £1,838 in specie

48J^ per cent from 49 per cent last week. Tlie Bank of France
gained 4,439,000 francs in gold and 1,439,000 francs in
silver.
The Bank of Germany gained 13,943,000 marks in
specie.

Kailroad and Miscellaneous Stock.s. Tlie general course
tlie stock market in the last week, like that of the several
previous weeks, has been toward lower prices, and many of
of

the leading speculative stocks touched lower figures in the
last few days tlian they have touched before for many years.
Tlie main causes for this decline are the competition, and consequent reduction in rates of freights and fares on railways,
and of tlie charges for messages on telegrajih lines. Among
the railroads in the Trunk Line Pool, competition has reduced
freights between Chicago and St. Louis and Now York to
where there is no profit in doing the work. The straggle
between the Union Pacific and its tripartite allies
and the Burlington & Quincy remains undecided yet. The
association of Trans-Continental roads for the maintenance of
rates appears also to be in danger of dissolution, and some of
the features of the market in the last week have indicated the
probability of a struggle between various Trans-Continental
interests for the control of the Oregon Railway & Navigation
The decline in prices has been increased and proCo.'s lines.
longed by the temper of some of the most prominent operators
who have been on the bear side of the market, and Mr, Gould
has the reputation of having been a heavy seller of stocks. An
incident of the continued decline was the susi)ensiiin on Wednesday of Mr. James R. Keene, who was unable to take the stocks
tendered to him on his outstanding puts. Pretty nearly the
whole market is lower than a week ago, but Union Pacific,
Central Pacific and Western Union Telegi-ajih have sustained
the largest dejireciation, amounting for the week to 6{(f)9 points.
About the only stocks that have advanced are tliose of the
Northern Pacific system, whicli are higher on large e.irnings.
Delaware Lackawaii^a & Western has been very firmly held,
higher than last Friday.

The increase of earnings from freight was the result of tetter rates obtained during the year on this class of business, the
tonnage and ton mileage having both decreased. The decrease
in the tonnage was mainly owing to reduced crops of cereals
during the past jear, and to the fact that a large amount of
business which formerly p.i.ssed over the line to and from the
New York Lake Erie Western Railway was transferred to
Atlantic Railway upon the opening of that line
tlie Chicago
to Chicago. "The ratio of expenses to earnings was 81 90-100
per cent, as .against 8{> 27-100 per cent in 1882; but this wiis
partly due to the policy adopted of charging to construction
account the cost of improvements and a<l(litions made since
your company assumed control of the property and whicli,

The amount of interest on bonded debt appearing in the
statem'^nt b3low does not show the proper proportion for the
nine months of the year, as but one interest paj-ment matured
during that perioil on the 5 per cent bonds of the company,
and on some of the sectional bonds. Assuming that all the
fier cent bonds of the comimny had been issued which it was
iable to issue under the terms of the purcha.se of the property,
the total interest for one year on the funded debt, including
the outstanding sectional bonds, would have been f 1,003,.'>81.
Three-fourtlLs of this sum, being the amount appertaining to
the business from April 2 to Dec. 31, 1883, would have been
$7.53,685; deducting this amount from net income for the nine
month.s would leave a surplus of $111,6.)3.
" Of the sectional bonds, subject to which your company
purchased the road, the outstanding prefcrrod'first mortgage
bonds of the Columbus

amounting to $1.57,000, the common fii-st mortgage bonds of
the same company, amounting to $1.53,000, and the second
mortgage bonds of the same company, amounting to $3,500,
all bearing 7 per cent interest, matured Dec. 1, 1883.
Up to
Dec. 31, 1883, there had been paid of the first issue $146,000, of
the second $141,000, and of the last $3,000, leaving still outstanding at that date, of the former issue $11,000. of the second

Pittsburg Fort Wayne & Chicago— Pennsylvania.— According to di-spatches from Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania R. R.
is making arrangements to acquire the Pitts. Ft. W. & C. R. R.
absolutely. It has been decided to issue $33,000,000 of bonds,
the jMiyment of the principal and interest of which will be
guaranteed by the Penn.sylvania Railroad Company; to exchange these bonds for the original .stock of the P. V. W. & Ch.
companv, and so transfer the road to the Pennsylvania R. R.
Co., which will bo the only stockholder of the Fort W.iyne Co.
after the bonds are all Issued. The matter will be definitely
settled at a meeting to be held on May 31. The bonds to be
issued in exchange for stock will run until the year 2868, or
ndarly 1,000 years. They will bear interest at the rate of 7
per cent. Tliia is the same compt>nsation received by the
original stockholders under the lease, and it will be paid in the
same manner, viz., in quarterly instalments. Mr. Halev, the
Secretary of the Ft. \v. Co., saj-s that while the Pennsylvania
R. R. Co. will own the Ft. W. road, the company will continue to exist as at present. This is required by the charter.
About a year will he required to complete the transfer.
Port Royal. In 1869 the Port Royal Railroad Company
made a mortgage on its property to secure 2.500 bonds of the
par value of f2.500,(X)0. Three years later the Georgia Hailroad & Banking Company guarantee*! the payment of 500 of
these bonds. Both corporations defaulted on the intert?st
1873, and suit ha.s lx.'en brought for the recovery from the
Georgia Railroad & Banking Company of the face value of the
coupons, with interest from May, 1873. Judge Donahue, of

bondholders of this division next Tuesday in this city to formulate a plan for reorganization. These bonds are worth in
the market not far from 13 per cent of their face value.
" Where the stock and the income bonds are coming in under
the various foreclosures is not yet apparent, but it is nearly
impossible, under Ohio laws, to wipe out a railroad stock
equity."
Trunk Line Pool.—The ,meeting of trunk line presidents
this week resulted in the abrogation of the rule by which the
Pool Commissioner wjis bound to order a re<luction of rates on
the demand of any one of the pool ro.ids. Erie and New York
Central representatives were said to have been most active in
getting the rule removed. The meeting resolved that future
complaints of cutting should be submitted to Commissioner
Fink, who should make examination and submit his conclusions to the pool Executive Committee, which alone has power
to take action in such an emergency.

been noine dulness from the apprelieusion of free deliveries on
May eontract.s Init on Suturday it was seen that Jfay notices
were generally stoppoel in tlio interest of a le.ading s!iipi)er,
ami this crop advanced. The weather at the South, however,
showed a great im|)roveaient, and the next crop closed lower.
During Monday and Tuesday there was a shai'p decline, under
sales to realize, in whicli many weak holders were "shaken
out." There were no new features operating to put down prices,
but simply a withdrawal of buyera, and the market, being left
without support, developed the weaknes.s that naturally followed an important advance. On Wednesday the market was
variiible antl unsettled, showing no decided change.
But on
Thursilay there was renewed activity and biuSyancy, on
favorable news from Liver|)ool, though part of the early advance was lost in the later dealings. To-day the market was
variable, closing slightly dearer, but as compared with last Friday l.i(iiil7 points lower for this crop, 13 points lower for
September and C(ji: .S points lower for the next crop. Cotton on
the spot has been dull and quotations were reduced '^c. on
Montlay. There baa been no change since, and the close on
Friday was quiet at 11 -'^c. for middling u)>lands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are G17,.500
bales.
For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
1,917 bales, including 2.~> for export, 1,.')72 for consumption,
320 for speculation and
in transit.

The following table is
prepared for the pnrixise of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are scmietimes misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than anotlier at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
like the following.
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumjition; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that pai't of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the outports.

Foreign Dry Goods,— The situation in the market for imported dry goods was unchanged. The demand at first hands
was chiefly confined to a few specialties, and the jobbing trade
was not up to expectations. Prices are without quotable
change, but concessions on fancy fabrics were occasionally
offered in order to stimulate their sale,

cotton goods has subsided into a quiet condition, and little if
any improvement was developed in the demard for foreign
fabrics, or domestic woolens, at first hands.
The jobbing
trade was spasmodic and irregular, moderately active
days
having alternated with others of conspicuous dulness, and the
movement as a whole was light and disappointing. There
was no great pressure upon the part of agents for domestic
manufacturers to force goods upon unwilling buyers, and the
tone of the market was generally steady. Some large
