These
figures show how elastic our revenue is, the totals
being this year only about a million dollars
short of last year, notwithstanding the large reductions in
taxes and the very decided falling off in imports and there¬
fore of customs duties by reason oC the present business
depression. But October results are not of course a fair
test for subsequent months, nor can the total for the four
months be used in that way since the revenue from July
to September was, for special reasons, more unfavorable
than the average is likely to be.
Still, accepting the
loss during that period as one third of the loss for the
year, there would even then remain (on account of the
largely decreased appropriations and pension expenditures)
a
surplus of at least 120 millions to be applied to bond
purchases.

relieved of a part of their load.
Wherein, then, consists
the wisdom of running
away from the European markets
at every advance there.
Let us rid ourselves of some of
our accumulated
stocks, and then we shall at least be in
better shape to control prices.
Notwithstanding the Elections and the approaching ses.
sion of Congress, the stock
market, and commercial
affairs also, are gradually
assuming a more promising
shape. There is, however, considerable anxiety felt with
regard to the discussions at Washington affecting the
tariff, internal taxes and currency changes. At a time of
speculation and high prices this fear would be wholly
reasonable.
In fact, there never is
anything exhilarating
in a session of
Congress. The whole country looks upon
the event as an evil to be
endured, and a safe deliverance
as cause for devout thankfulness.
But this year there is
such positive need for
legislation on the points we have
above referred to, and such a low level of
prices both for
goods and securities, with an almost entire absence of
speculation, that it seems quite possible that Congressional
action may bring relief rather than the
contrary.
In the meantime very few look for
great buoyancy
anywhere, but a moderate movement, or at least a steadier
tone than has of late prevailed.
That about indicates the
position of the Wall Street markets this week. On Thurs¬
day afternoon, however, with the announcement that the

Bankers also are discriminating against al,
offerings except first-class, and this of course tends to
diminish the available supply.
Furthermore and in addi¬
tion to the usual inquiry for exchange, there has been a
demand from bankers who are remitting for securities

other issues, the foreign holders

other circumstance which has helped to stiffen the rates has
been the sensitiveness of the London money market.
On Monday, before sterling advanced,

market at London was in demand at 2^

Imports continue

The
truth is, that at the present low rates for wheat the cost of
transportation is a bar to its export in a considerable sec.

SHOVING IN MORTGAGES AHEAD OF STOCK.
A
correspondent writes to us saying that he has been
getting out of his stocks for some time past, and been
buying bonds instead, because as he puts it, “too many
mortgages are being shoved in ahead of stocks.” Our
correspondent undoubtedly touches upon one of the points
of objection to stocks in
general, but we think the infer,
ence which may fairly be drawn from his
remark—namely,
that the putting of additional mortgage^ or debt on a road
is
necessarily a move against stockholders’ interests—is
not warranted by the facts,
As, however, at the present
time all sorts of theories are being evolved to account for
the long-continued depression in the
prices of even the
best of shares, it may not be amiss to dwell for a moment
or two
upon our correspondent’s suggestion.
,

moderate ratio of
gain, as the business of the contiguous sections grows,
without any great effort on their part. - And if the road
is complete and was originally placed in first-class condi.
tion, the demands for new outlays are comparatively
insignificant, and the stock and debt, therefore, once
fixed
and outstanding, may remain
practically un¬
changed.
Not so in this country.
Even the best-equipped and
most-perfectly conducted road, though it may at any given
time appear to have discounted to the fullest extent the
possibility of futur^growth, soon finds its capacity taxed
beyond measure, and an enlargement of its existing
facilities imperative.
This augmented demand must be
met.
It is impossible to stand still.
To fail to respond to
the need is to invite decay, and to hand over not only the
additional traffic, but a part of the original traffic as well,
to a new line, quickly undertaken and
speedily completed.
With a road extending to the borders of a new and
unopened territory, the case is even stronger at times.
There it frequently becomes necessary for an existing
company to build into the new territory in advance of the
needs of that territory, simply that the field may be
occupied and rival companies debarred from entering the
same.
Railroads are the pioneers of progress, and in the
event mentioned the new line,must literally create its own
business.

of
self-protection to the projecting company. The purchase
of feeders or branch lines frequently belongs in the same
category. They may have existed for a long time as
independent concerns, giving their traffic regularly to the
trunk road with which
they connect, because they had no
option but to do so. Suddenly a new trunk line appears
on the scene,
and it is no longer obligatory upon the
branch road to deliver its traffic to one particular line; it
has the choice of two, and can turn its business, if it likes,
entirely over to the new route.
It is then that the

of the old company find themselves compelled
to step in and acquire the feeder of which the rival com¬
pany threatens to deprive their road.
We have dwelt thus at length upon these features,
because, if there is one fact conspicuous, above all
others in the development of our railroad system, it
is the fact that almost every leading company has
of late years made enormous additions, in precisely
the way mentioned, to both its debt account and
its capital stock.
We might cite hosts of instances in
support of our remark, but will mention only a few prom¬
inent cases.
There
is the Chicago Burlington
&
Quincy. This road has always had the reputation of being
conservatively managed. Yet, by means of consolidation
with some lines and the acquisition of others, the com¬
pany’s debt had increased from about 30 millions on
January 1, 18S0, to over GS millions on January 1, 1883,
(without including the direct debt of the Kansas City St#
Joseph & Council Bluffs and some other lines still operated
their own account) and has since been further in.
on
creased by the purchase of the Hannibal & St. Joseph
road, while during the same time the stock has risen from
:31 millions to nearly 70 millions.
In view of the recent
acquisition of the Hannibal & St. Joseph, it may be
-questioned whether some of the earlier purchases like the
Burlington & Southwestern were necessary, and yet, thus
far, the policy of the management seems fully justified by
expansion of business necessitating enlarged facilities
handling it, the case of the New York Central offers
a
conspicuous illustration.
Here is a road which in
appointment is second to none, in the country. Its four
tracks, its large equipment and motive power, its com¬
modious facilities, all impress one with the idea that if
any road could be exempt from heavy new outlays in
order to carry on its business, it would be that one.
Yet
even
it had to invest 5 millions during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1882, for improvement?, betterments,

for
&c.
Perhaps we should also mention the Illinois Central as
typifying the class of roads that had to assume new
obligations in the acquisition of branches or feeders.
This company some years ago found itself compelled to
take hold of the Chicago St. Louis & New Orleans (then
in bankruptcy), that road forming an extension of its main
line to New Orleans
For quite a while this Southern
road was operated independently, but at the beginning of
the present year it was merged into the Illinois Central)
and the latter assumed its 13 millions debt and

guaranteed
its 10 millions stock. To be sure, it is
the new line will always be able to
the increased annual
charge out of its own net
earnings, but the important point is that whether it does
or not, that debt and stock, which under the new
arrange¬
ment comes in ahead of Illinois Central stock, was by the
management thought to be a wise purchase, and at present
is proving to be so.
ft is scarcely fair therefore to inveigh against new mort¬

step prejudicial to stockholders’ interests. On the con¬
trary, we see that quite frequently they are a step in pro.
tection of, and of permanent benefit to, their property.
From this it is not to be inferred that every railroad com¬
pany that has increased its debt in this way was justified
in doing so.
We could easily point out cases where the
policy of expansion, for the sake of expansion alone and
with unlimited recklessness, has brought companies to
the verge of bankruptcy, but then in such cases the objec¬
tion is not so much to the policy as to the way it was car¬
ried out.
In this as in other respects, every property and
every company and every management must stand on
of very
large dimensions, and 8 per cent dividends on the
augmented stock are being regularly paid. In a similiar
way we might refer to the Chicago & Northwestern and
the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul.
Both these com.
panies have largely increased their stock and debt of late
years, yet this was necessitated under the policy of ex¬
panding the respective systems so as to make them equaj
to the enlarged demands upon them, under which policy

[CONDUCTED
BY THOMAS ELLISON.]
As respects the trade of Great Britain, the past season,
although a period of low prices for the raw material, and one
which has witnessed an unprecedentedly large turnover of
yams and goods, has not been altogether satisfactory in its
results. Spite of the circumstance that the season opened with
large stocks of goods in the whole of the great distributing
markets of the world, people thought that they could not have
too much on the basis of 6d. per pound for cotton.
In the first
three months, therefore, an enormous speculative and antici¬
patory business was done in Manchester, accompanied by cor¬
respondingly large transactions in Liverpool, the confidence of
buyers increasing with every fractional decline in values. This
was all well enough so long
as it lasted, and the contracts made
by spinners and manufacturers, but especially the former,
showed fair profits. While these were maturing there were
few complaints, except from shippers, who found that what was
ihere considered to be a cheap price was not abroad regarded as
a very tempting figure. It was discovered that markets
already
full were now surfeited. As the year advanced, therefore,
manufacturers found that as their orders ran out they could
not be replaced except at unprofitable rates, and finally at
prices showing a very serious loss. So long, however, as the
looms were kept at work yarns did not follow the decline in
cloth, and spinners continued to make a profit—the manufact¬
urer, in fact, had to sell his cloth in a weak and overloaded
market, but to buy his yarn in a market firm and without stock.
By and by looms began to be stopped, either voluntarily, or
through bankruptcy, or in consequence of .strikes against re¬
duced wages. In this way the demand for yarn was diminished,
and the margins of spinners began to shrink. Producers found
it no longer easy to sell the out-turn of tlieir mills, and although
there was no systematic resort to “short-time,” spinners in
most instances extended the usual autumn holidays', and in
August and September the consumption of cotton was probably !
reduced by about 2,000" bales per week. The rise in cottonf
which took place between the middle of July and the end of
September, was only partially participated in by yarn, and the
season closed unsatisfactorily to every department of the cotton
industry, but especially to manufacturers.
On the Continent the business results of the
season are re¬

regard to the goods trade in the United States, says the
Chronicle, the results have proved unsatisfactory. The depres¬
sion in all branches of the trade and the slackened consumption
developed an excessive supply. Buying throughout the season
has been of a sluggish hand-to-mouth character, very damaging
to values, sellers being all the time more willing than pur¬

From almost every

most instances distinctly worse, than it opened, owing to over¬

3% per cent in 1882-3 over 1881-2,
against an increase of barely 2 per cent in 1SS1-2 over 1880-1.
We confess that, in the face of the decrease in the weight of
yarns and goods exported, we are surprised at this result. No
explanation occurs to us; but some light may be thrown on the
subject during the course of the coming season.
A feature of the past season has been the large quantity of
CGtton-taken by consumers direct from the quay, or in the shape
of deliveries, all returned under the head of “forwarded.” Sub¬
joined are the particulars of the quantities “ forwarded ” and
sold over the counter this season and last.
This shows an
increase of
we have never thought of less than six millions, for the
simple reason that we considered a Joss of one million bales
from last season, or a million and a half from what might have
been witnessed this season, quite sufficient to meet the damage

doubtful if any great
change takes place this year. The
period for active business is now passing away, and there is
every reason for believing that the course pursued b}r our
merchants and manufacturers has been very judicious. Cheap
money, cheap food, and the absence of actual political trouble,
ought, it is true, to produce activity, but they do not facilitate
an unnecessary
consumption of goods. From all the leading
colonial and foreign markets the report has been for a long
time past that there is a full
over-supply of goods and that
difficulty is experienced in obtaining a profitable sale. Rapid
production is the cause of the dulness which prevails, and
there seems to be no prospect of any early improvement.
The Bank return published this week is satisfactory, there
being a slight increase of strength since the last statement was
issued. The supply of bullion shows a falling off of £40S,03G,
owing to the foreign demand for bar gold and to the Scotch
requirements for coin. There has, however, been a decrease of
£530,0S0 in the note circulation, and the improvement in the
reserve amounts to £122,044.
The supply of bullion is now
£22,544,549, against £20,992,379 last year; while the reserve is
-
£12,710,479, against £10,419,954. The proportion of reserve to
liabilities, which was last week 43*77 per cent, has improved to
43% per cent, comparing with only 36 40 per cent last year.
Considering how small are our requirements, and how limited
is the prospect of auy increase in them, the position of the
Bank is very strong, and there can be no other opinion than that
the money market will remain very easy during the remainder
of the year.

The traffic receipts of
railways in the United Kingdom, dur¬
ing the week ended October 21, amounted on 14,293% miles to
£1,241,798, against £1,214,858 last year on 14,121 miles, show¬
ing an increase of 171% miles and of £26,94Q.
The stock markets have shown a little more steadiness
during
the last few days; but there is still a great want of business,
and" complaints are very general.
The American market has
slightly improved, but, considering that prices are low, there is
less doing than might have been expected.
During the fort¬
night composing the last account, there has been some recov¬
ery, especially New York Central, $100, the “ making up ”
price being 120 against 118% at the previous settlement. Illi¬
nois Central $100 shares also show a slight
improvement, the
making up ” price being 133 against 132%. Grand Trunk
Railwray securities are weaker on the fortnight, though a better
tendency is now apparent, while British and Indian railroad
securities have advanced.in price.
The more prominent change
is in Mexican railroad bonds,the ordinary shares
having advanced
16, the first preference 7% and the second preference 5%.
That market has been full of speculation for some time
past.
The value of foreign government securities has had a
slight
upward tendency. United States have advanced %, and Peru¬
vian bonds have risen, owing to the termination of the war
“
between Chili and Peru.
Wheat continues to arrive
freely from abroad, and there are
supplies of home-grown produce ofFering. The latter is
however, for the most part in poor condition. The trade is still
very dull, and difficulty is experienced in obtaining former
prices. The weather during the past wreek has been very mild,
and agricultural work has made fair progress.
Large ship¬
fair
ments of wheat and oats continue to be made to Great Britain
and the Continent from St.
Petersburg.

including Baltic supplies, which are still very con¬
siderable, it is estimated that the following quantities of wheat,

CHRONICLE.
The extraordinary
rains in early spring caused the displacement of many miles
of track and of several bridges, and the destruction of many
culverts, leaving the road in a precarious condition for its suc¬
cessful and profitable operation as a commercial highway, and
careful examination and estimates made by the General Manager
discloses the fact, already in proof before
will require the expenditure of exceeding
$675,000 to place the same in proper repair and running order,
not including maintenance of way. To meet its matured and
maturing indebtedness and the extraordinary expenses necessary
as aforesaid, the company has no resources except from its cur¬
rent earnings, and the continued operation of said line, under
the rates as fixed by your honorable body, must inevitably result
in bankruptcy and ruiu. The earnings of the company after
liquidating the current expenses must be applied to the pay¬
ment of interest on its bonded indebtedness, and can not be
applied to the betterment of the properties, and each year of
its operation upon the foregoing basis would show an annual
deficiency of nearly $200,000, with no resources whatever with
which to* better and keep up the property of the company.
Your petitioner would respectfully and earnestly request that
the decision made in this matter on September 27,1883, shall be
re-opened and a re-hearing granted, &c., &c.”

Colorado Land Titles.—A decision
was
rendered last week
by Judge Me Crary, in the United States Circuit Court at Den¬
ver, Colorado, which involved the titles to a large amount of
land in Colorado.
The United States brought suit to cancel
sixty-one patents ;.to lands held by the Colorado Coal & Iron
Company and others in Las Animas County. The patents were
obtained through the pre-emption law between 1870 and 1874,
and were issued from the Pueblo land office. It was afterward
discovered that the patents had been irregularly obtained, the
patentees being fictitious persons. Testimony was introduced
to show that the register and receiver of the land office'were
parties to the fraud. The defense claimed that the deeds were
now
good, granting that they were fraudulently obtained,
because now they are in the hands of innocent parties. The
judge held adversely and rendered a decision in favor of the
complainant, which cancels the title to 2,560 acres of valuable
land.—JV. Ir. Public.

The business of the week has been
that Mr. Jewett had to leave because he was not feeling well,
and in the subsequent discussions the managers of the Chicago
connections of the trunk lines were present.
“There was a warm discussion of the railroad situation by
the president’s committee. The charges of cutting off freight
considered, and all the
evidence secured by its opponents was laid before the meeting.
Before the production of the proofs had led to a feeling which
might have Interrupted the proceedings, the subject was laid
aside for the purpose of taking up the main question at issue.
This was, whether or not the trunk line east-bound pool ques¬

quently revised, if rendered necessary by the awards of the
arbitrators to which the roads have appealed.
Since early last
spring the Erie has been carrying east-bound freight largely in
excess of its percentage, and the Pennsylvania Railroad also is
ahead of its allotment. The heavy loss which the New York
Central has suffered has been occasioned,, it is claimed, by the
cutting of rates by the Erie and the Grand Trunk. After the
repeated failures of past, meetings to secure the maintenance
of rates the New Yoik. Central insisted upon the turning.over
of Erie’s surplus in accordance with the contract. The Penn¬
sylvania, while ahead itself, has supported the Central for the
purpose of gaining its support on the dressed meats question.
“It was voted yesterday that the contract be carried out,
settlements of all balances to be made at once. Commissioner
Fink pos esses the authority to make drafts upon Hie roads
which are ahead, for the purpose of making payments to those
which are behindhand on the percentages.

S. CAROLINA
Charleston—
7i]e
petition has been addressed
to the Board of Managers, requesting an amendment of the ByLaws, so as to increase the price-difference in trading in future
deliveries, either from one-hundredth part of one cent to two
and-a-half-hundred parts, which would be for 100 bales of
45,000 pounds $11 25 instead of $4 50 at present, or to one
thirty-second of one cent, which for 100 bales would result in
$14. * Experience has shown that the present system stands
much in the way of fluctuations large enough to leave solid
profits to speculators after payment of commissions, and that it
consequently restricts business. The proposed change com¬
mends itself for adoption, especially if it can be carried out
without prejudice to holders of contracts entered into at the
present price difference.
Another petition is in course of signature, for the purpose of
making Evacuation Day, which falls on Monday, November 26,
& holiday, as recommended by the Chamber of Commerce.
The admission of three candidates for membership is to be
voted on next Monday, November 12, and two new applications
or membership are posted.
Jute Butts, Baoging, &c.—There has been a good demand for
bagging since our last report, aud parcels are moving freely
Prices have not changed, holders continuing firm in their ideas,
and we do not hear of anything to be had below 9]^c. for
lbs., 9%c. for 1% lbs., 10%e. for 2 lbs. and ll@ll%c. for stand¬
ard grades. Butts have not changed, and the firm tone of
prices has continued. The advices from abroad quote high
figures, and this keeps holders from accepting lower figures.
There have been sales of 5,000 bales paper grades at 2 7-16@2^c.
on spot, while bagging quality is quoted at
2}{@2%(i., with
final! parcels held for more money.

East India Crop.—From Messrs.
Wallace & Co.’s
Cotton
Report, dated Bombay, October 5, we take the following on the
crop:
“Complaints have just come in of damage to the
Oomrawuttee crop by the late heavy rains, and it is reported
that the crop will not be more than three fourths of an average
yield. It is, however, too early yet to say what the damage
may really amount to, and, as fine weather has set in, the crop
may yet recover from the bad effects of the rain.
Hingenghat
also has suffered, but not much of this growth is likely ro come
d
.a to market for export.
Iu addition to the crop being a
small one this year, a larger quantity of it than before will be
required for the mills in that neighborhood, which are increas¬
ing yearly. Dhollerah has benefitted by the late rains, and the
crops on the Guzerat side will, it is expected, be quite as large
as, if not larger than, last year.”
Weather Record for September.—We publish to-day the
weather record for September t nd previous months.
Its publi¬
cation has been delayed owing to the non-receipt until this week
of the reports from some of the more important points; in
fact, for a few of them, we had to send many times. We intend
another week to editorially analyze these reports.
day of the month in 1882 and 156,804 bales more than they were
day of the month in 1881. We add to the table
the percentages of total port receipts which had been received to
November 9 in each of the years named.
October.—We have re¬
ceived to-day (Friday), by cable, Mr. Ellison’s figures for
October, the first month of the new cotton season. We have
also received the revised totals for last year, and give them
for comparison.

Foreign Dry Goods.—Aside frcm velvets,
and a few specialties adapted to the coming
plushes, velveteens,
holiday trade, there
was a very light movement in foreign goods from first hands,
and the jobbing trade was only moderate. The auction rooms
presented few features of interest, and most of the sales were
more favorable to buyers than sellers.
Staple goods are fairly
steady in price, and stocks of such fabrics are pretty well in
hand here and at the centres of production abroad.
