The Soapstoiie (jiiarries, K.aolln mines and
Mica mines are situate about four miles from
the Copper mlues, on the way to the Magnetic
Iron ore beds.
The estate consists of over 1,000 acres of
fertile lauds, covered with a heavy growth of
limber, and also includes a water power of
about 800 horse power.
The addition of railroad transportation is
only rerjuircd to turn these Iron mines into a
b'jnanza of wealth.
fROF. iCerr, State Geologist of North Carolina, refers to this property in his report to the
State in 1875, on page 207. Vol. 1. He coneludes his r.maiks byaaylng: "This is manifestly an iron region and worthy of thorough
inve8ligati()n."
The value of these
Magnetic iron ore beds cannot be easil.v estimated. At the lowest calculation there is in si.itht suflicieiit ore to last for 100
years, with an onrput of 300.000 tons a year.
The company are preparing to build a line "f
railroad that will connect their iron mines with
the Ohio Valley, and at the same time be a
trunk line from the Northwest to the Southeast.
This road will be known as the Carolina ViRGiNii & Northwestern Railroau, and will
connect at the most feasible point with the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad iu West Virginia,
thus giving direct communication with the Ohio
Valley and the Northwest, and at the same
time the construction ot the railroad from JelTe."8on to Wadesboro will give an outlet south to
the Atlantic seaboard.
Judging from the present average of ore
from the Copper mine, it is estimated that
DIVIDENDS to the extent of TWO and one-hau'
($2 50) dollars per share can be paid during
1852. The completion of the company's railroad by 1883 will gi\e a market to their Viduable deposits of Magnetic Iron Ore. wThich
will enable them to pay dividends of at least
DOLLAHS per share.

Among" them a very
valuable Copper mine, carrying gold and silver,
which is a property of :t50 acres, covered with
heavy timber. Tills mine is fully equipped with
modern machinery, and has alrea'iy produced
a large quantity of rich and valuaijle ore.
Phofkssor Emmons, late State Geologist of
North Carolina PhofiiSSou Kbi'.k. State Geologist of North Caro ina; Profkssok J H. McCHESNET. Mining Geologist; Walter Hamilton, M. E.; Professor E. M. Eames, have made
most favorable reports about this mine. The.r
concur in the belief that it gives indication of
great commercial value, and that by the character and f^rade of the ore. it promises to be one
of the best-p.^ying Copper lodes iu this country.
When the smeltijg furnaces are finished, the
daily presen' yield or this mine is estimtvted as
fol'ows: Thirty tons of ore per day; average,
20 percent cojiper and >SI0 in gold and silver
per ton, will equal $3,000 per day. and average
300 days to the year, will equal $900,000 gross
earnings per year. When the new shaft is finished, and cioss-cuts are made to the vein, the
output can easily be doubled, and by the end of
the first year the mine will lie earning (ore averaging as at preseuil over $1,800,000 per year.

the best three months' bank bills are taken at 4 to 4 >i per cent, a
moderate percentage of business being reported at %'/% per cent.
The state of the Bank of England has also somewhat improved,
the proportion of reserve to liabilities having advanced to
nearly 38 per cent. The supply of bullion held by the Bank
does not, however, increase ; there being a decrease of dCl6,2U,
against a recorded influx of £94,000. The circulation of notes,
however, is diminishing, the falling off this week amounting to
£470,365, and the result is that the total reserve has been
augmented by £454,151. The Sink is transacting very little
discount business, the total of "other securities" having been
diminished by £451,442 ; and the government appears to have
repaid the Bank a further sum of £600,000 in reduction of the
loan granted for the purpose of paying the dividends. Although the process is a slow one, the Bank makes progress
towards improvement, but the opinion must still be entertained that the process must remain slow. Since the value of
money in the open market has declined to 4 per cent, the Continental exchanges have been less favorable to us, and not only

time to come, and although the state of the commercial demand
would seem to justify a lower official minimum, it is very

The traffic returns of British railway companies are still disappointing, but better results are anticipated shortly. The
trade of the country continues to improve, and an increasing
amount of busint-ss is being carried on with the United States.
It is expected that the October Board of Trade returns will, in
this respect, show very favorable results, especially as regards
our shipments of iron.
Our trade has undoubtedly much
improved this year, and it is very satisfactory to notice
that the business of the country is upon a sound basis. Very few
failures are recorded, and there is no reason to apprehend any
mercantile difficulties of importance.
The firm of Salberg
Brothers & Co., of London, has failed this week, with liabilities
estimated at f 180,000 to £200,000, and assets of about £80,000.
The
firm had branches at Luxembourg and Chaux de Fond.i,
Switzerland, and the suspension does not seem to be of much
importance to this country. It is attributed to the failure of a
Belgian bank.
The weather during the week has been winterly, but dry,
and the season for farmers is proving to be yery satisfactory.

wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to .54,329 quarters, against 41,531 quarters last year
and 35,617 quarters in 1879; and it is computed that they

money market has shown a hardening tendency
for
on stock collateral, and during the last few days stock
brokers have in exceptional cases paid as high as 6 per cent plus
a commission of 1-64 of 1 per cent. The bulk of business,
however, has been done at 5@6 per cent. On government bond
collateral the case has been different, and so scarce are the
bonds offered for loaas, and so considerable are the trust an i
call loans
other funds, &c., loanable only on such collateral, that the rates
have actually become easier on government bonds, and call loans
have been made to the large dealers as low as 3 per cent, while
3J6 to 4 per cent has been the ordinary rate.
The Bank of England weekly sta,tement on Thursday showed
a loss of £133,000 in specie, but the percentage of reserve to liabilities was 38?4, against 37 11-16 the previous week.
The dis-
count rate remains at 5 per cent. The Bank of France gained
10,675,000 francs gold and lost 3,525,000 francs silver.
The last statement of the New York City Clearing-Honse
banks, issued Nov. 5, showed a decrease in the surplus reserve of
11,606,125, the total surplus being $3,104,675, against $4,710,800
the previous week.

" The busini-ss of the year has beep satlsfactorr. It hvt
shown a fair increase over the very large bodiness of the preceding year, and has been the largest ever done over the lines
now operated by the Old Colony Uaiiroad Company. But this
increase in business has its burdens as well as its beneSts. Aa
appears from this report, it has entailed large expenditons
upon lands and eqitipment to enable its transaction with economy to the comp*y and satisfaction to the public. The
growth in business is still going on. It has been greater in the
past three months than in any part of the year, and the directors have felt obliged to devote a considerable part of the
income to provide for the fatare wants of the company. The
expenditure upon road-bed, rails, equipment and stations has
been greater than the average amount necessary to keep them
in good condition.
When the business becomes stationary, and
there is less pressing demand for increased accommodations, the
expenses can be greatly diminished but in the present condition of the business the directors have considered it the
better policy to meet this demand out of the income, so far as
possible, instead of increasing the capital invested.
For this
reason they have transferred |90,000 of income to the improvement account, to be applied to improvements of the road and
equipment which are necessary to meet immediate demands."

By the express provisions of the act, the State bonds were to
be given the company in exchange for its own bonds. The

between the State and the company, the State was to be
the guarantor of the company bonds and the company the
principal debtor. With the public, however, it was different.
There the State was the debtor, and the company was only
known through the statutes under which the bonds were put
out, and the certificates indorsed on the bends itself, which were
that the State held the first mortgage bonds of the railroad
company for a like amount as security to the holder thereof.'
Such bonds of the State with such indorsements the company
put on the market and sold. Under these circumstances the
certificate of the Governor as to the security held by the ttate
is in legal effect the certificate of the company itself, and
equivalent to an engagement on the part of the company that
the bond, so far as the security is concerned, is the valid obligation of the State. The ease is clearly within the reas'on of
the rule which makes every endorser of commercial papt-r the
guarantor of the genuineness and validity of the instrument he
indorses.
We cannot doubt that under the.se circumstances the
company is estopped so far as its own liabilities are concerned
from denying the validity of the bonds. Having negotiated
them on the faith of such a certiHeate, the company must be
held to have agreed, as part of its own contract, whatever that
was, that the bonds were obligatory. It is next contended that
as the bonds were fraudulently put out by the officers of the
companies, and are unconstitutional, the recovery must be conflned to the amount actually paid for the bonds to the agenta of
the companies. As we have endeavored to show, the bonds,
althougli void as to the State, are valid as to the company that
sold them. To this the Chief -Justice answers as follows
" Having been put on the market by the companies as valid
bonds, the companies are estopped from setting up this unconstitutionality.
As again.st the companies, they occupy in the
market the position of commercial securities, and may be dealt
with and enforced as such. The companies, through their
faithless agents, are in a position where they mn.st meet those
tliey have dealt with commercially and respond accordingly.
Fir commerce commercial paper means what on its face "it
lepresents, regardless of what its maker or promoter may have
got for it. The bonds of this State in the open market purported to be what they called for. The companies put them
out, and in legal effect, as we think, indorsed them. A bona
fide holder can now require the indorser to respond to his
indorsement commercially; that is to say, by paying what he
effect agreed the maker must pay.'
—The State Board of Finance on the 31st ult. made an order
directing the Treasurer of the State to call in for redemption,
on or before January 1. 1882, $80,000 of the 5-10 years 10 per
cent bonds of the State. These bonds were issued under the
acts of May, 1874, and March 4. 1875, and are commonly called
Baxter war bond.s. The condition of the sinking fund "justifies
such action. This order will make an annujQ saving to the
State of $8,000 in interest.

Baltimore Cincinnati & Western Centrnl.- Of this projected road the New York Times reports that it is the old p'an of
a railroad from Baltimore to Cincinnati to run parallel with the
Ime of the Baltimore and Ohio, which has been revived. A
prospectus of the new road has been issued, in which its projectors claim that they are acting in perfect good faith,
and
aver that the construction of this road is assured, more than
a
sufficient amount of capital having been subscribed.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Richard W. Thompson has accepted the
presidency of the company, and is to be associated in the manage-
ment with Henry

There are 208 towns and cities directly on the line of tha
road, of which 188 have no railroad connections whatever.
Forty-two counties, with an average population of 33,043, are
miles
'The estimated cost of construction given in
the prospectus places the maximum cost of a first-class, steellail, single track railway at |2.'5,000 per mile, or .115,000.000 for
the 600 mi'es. To this the cost of erecting depots, warehouses,
grain elevators, establishing repair .shops, providing side tracks
and rolling stock, and constructing telegraph lines, it is estimated will add not more than $10,000,000, thus providing a complete road in running order, fully equipped, for $25,000,000.
This sum, says the prospectus, is only about one-fourth of the
amounts expended in establishing the other lines from Cincinnati to the sea-board. The construction company which, it is
announced, will build and equip the road is to be r.nowin as the
Union Improvement Company, and will have a ready cash capital of $10,000,000.
The projectors of the new road will hold a
formal meeting next week, at which full plans for the future
will be determined upon.

Chicigo St. Pnnl 9Iinne»polis& Oiuahn.— In the Chroniolb
of Oct. 22, on page 441, was quoted an abstract of this company's report to the Wisconsin State (-Jommissijner. It appears
that the earnings were there given for the portion of the company's lines in Wisconsin only. There was also an extraordinary statement of " floating debt," which is explained below by
the Auditor of the company in a statement prepared for the
Chronicle. It is to be regretted that the officers of this company decided to make no annual report for the year ending
June
30, 1881.
The Auditor
writes " In preparing our report for the State
Commissioners we have followed, as nearly as possible, the requirements of the printed blanks, and have shown what is
called by them floating debt separately, instead of deducting, as we properly might have done, the material on hand
and cash assets on the opposite side of the balance sheet."

there has been no relit-f for this class of sufferers, as the Constitution of the United States prohibits the suing of a State by
an individual. The enabling act passed by the New York
Legislature last winter promises, however. Justice Flammer
said, some relief, as under it this State will, under certain conditions, maintain against another State the suit of an individual.
It was resolved at yesterday's meeting to test their
rights under this law, providing a sufficient number of the
bondholders could be interested in the project. Justice Flammer and Mr. Hendricks were appointed a committee to confer

Burlington & Qulncy, 90 miles from Fort Dodge. On the Pacific Division grading is about finished to Winthrop, 35 miles
beyond the present terminus at Arlington. Winthrop will
probably be the winter terminus, leaving 25 miles to build in
the spring to reach Redwood Falls. It is said that the com-
pany is considering the question of building a line of its own
from Taylor's Falls to Superior or Duluth. The distance is
about 90 miles.— Jlailro ad Gazette.
New York Central.—The Boston Advertiser reports •' The
Clarion Mahoning & Pittsburg Railroad is the title of the extension of the Dunkirk Allegheny Valley & Pittsburg road,
mnning from North Warren to Brooksville, Jefferson county.
The road crosses the Connewango Creek, just below Falconet's
Island, and runs thence east of the Connewango, and crosses the
:
Allegheny River on Butternut Island, at Glade Run thence
running to Stoneham, crossing under the Philadelphia & Erie
Kailroad at Dutchman's Summit. Then it rons down the
Tionesta Creek as far as Blue Jay, then up the Blue Jay to
Ward's Summit, then up Maple Creek to Brooksville, a distance
of sixty miles. The distance now by rail is 150 miles. The
main object of the road is to furnish the New York
Central with coal from the Jefferson County coal mines. The
preliminary survey has been made about two miles up the Blue
Jay, and the location has been made from North Warren to
Clarendon. The grading will begin soon. The work is under
the general management of Mr. C. Karr, managing director for
the company."

Pacific Mail— Pacific Railroads.— Representatives of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company and the Panama Railroad Company, held a conference
in New York this week looking to a modification, rather than to
the total abrogation, of the old contract, by which the Union
Pacific guaranteed to the Pacific Mail a freight patronage of
$110,000 per month. It is stated that, after deducting the actual
California business of the line, they have been compelled to pay
in money about $800,000 during the last year.
The payments
have ranged from $59,000 to $75,000 a month. The Union
Pacific recently gave notice of an abrogation of the contract,
which, under its terms, will expire January 1 next. A compromise coinmittee was appointed to settle upon an agreement,
as follows For Pacific Mail, President J. B. Houston and Henry
Hart for Union Pacific, President Sidney Dillon and C. P.
Huntington for Panama, President Trenor W. Park.

the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company for $30,000,000

deed was ^iven to the United States Trust Company of New
York, and is on the entire line of the road and its property, and
not only covers all present indebtedness of the road, tut all
future extensions and branches. The present debt of the road
is $15,000,000, for which new bonds will be issued at once,
and the remaining $15,000,000 will be issued as requirrd for
construction of the main line and branches. A copy of the
mortgage will be filed in each county in Missouri, Kansas and

cess of the "Keadjuster" or semi-repudiation party in Virginia,
and precisely how maoh this means is now quite uncertain.
Election day is a close holiday in this State, aad to that extent
interrupted business. Rainy weather during the first half of
the week also had an unfavorable effect. The general condition
of mercantile affairs is, however, good. Exports have been
increased by the abatement of speculative values, and the force
of legitimate influences is on the lncre.ise, thus promoting a
healthy and active trade. The close to-day showed a greatlyimproved tone to the general market.
Rio coffee has declined to lie, for fair cargoes, trade being
very dull and receipts accumulating; it has been found necessary to sell some 800 bags at auction; mild grades have been
moderately active at about steady prices; atrthe close the entire
market is dull and nominal. Rice has been moderately active
and steady. Foreign fruits have been in fair demand at firmer
prices.
Spices have been dull. Tea sold at some decline for
all kinds at an auction yesterday, but to-day at a sale of 9,000
packages, although greens were slightly lower, blacks were
generally steady, and common Amoy oolongs about Ic. higher.
Molasses has been very quiet; new crop New Orleans has been
quoted at C5@74e. Raw sugar has been quiet but firm at last
week's prices.

The above statement shows
1. That the total receipts from the plantations sinfse Sept. 1 In
1881 were 1,8.56,673 bales; in 1880 were 2,064,098 bales; in 1879
were 1,847.263 bales.
3. That, although the receipts at the out-ports the past week
were 224,420 bales, the actual movement from plantations was
254,890 bales, the balance going to increase the stocks at
the interior ports.
Last year the receipts from the plantations for the same week were 238,218 bales and for 1879 they
were 273.437 bales.

was in October 70,000 bales per week (which is the same as given

Hence it appears that the total for the whole of Europe

The reports are unaniraons that tho weather has been dry and warm

will probably be completed by Nov. 10 to 15, only three correspondents
saying that picking may extend into December. Four correspondents report a yield of 250 to 300 lbs. seed cotton per acre, ten 300,
seven -lOO, Ilvo 500, and one 050 lbs. One correspondent (Wilkes
Co.) reports the crop as somewhat better than last j'ear, three (Warren
(Co.) same, ten a decrease of 20 to 30 per cent, nine of 40 to 50 per cent,
^two of 60 to 05 percent. Tlie average indicates a decrease from last
'year of aliout 30 per ceut. Only in three counties is any material dam
age reported liy worms— say 10 per cent. They are reported in 10 other
counties, but without damage, except to foliage and tlie youngest fruit.
Rust and rot are reported as having done no damage at all. Very little
daisage is r.^'porte;t by storms, and tliat only to cpiality of cotton. It is
universally admitted that the past month was one of tlie best ever
known fi)r saving the crop. All damage to the crop was done by Sept.
1 or before by the continuous drouth. There is no doubt that in many
places a top crop was made, and that much late eotcou has turned out
much better than was expected two months aao. Part of the shortness
in production is due to the fact, too, that during the growing season, in
nany sections, there was not rain enough to dissolve well and to give
proiiereffect to fertilizers applied. Several corrojspondents state that two
or tliree weeks more of fairly warm weather, without killing frosts, will
add to the crop, and picking may not then be finished as soon as iadi;
eaated.
This being the last report of your committee for this season, they beg
to state that, with all due respect to our correspondents, they have reason to believe that late cotton and the lop crop have lurn<;d out and are
yielding much better than was expected six or eight weeks ago. Very
few of our local factors estimate a falling elf of 25 per cent, and the
majority 15 to 20 per cent.

The character of tho weather since Got. 1 has l»oen favoralde In lO
counties aad rainy and unfavorablo in 42. The weather compared
With last year has beoii more favorable for tho gal boring of crops in 4»
counties, the same in 10, less favorable in 20, and no damage froi»
frost. Eighty per cent of the crop is reported picked. Picking will
probably be finished by Nov. 15. The average yield is estimated at SCO
pounds, the seed cott(m indicating a decrease of 40 pec cent compared
with last ye.ar. Forty-three counties report serious damage by worms.
which have cut short the top crop; 14 report more or less damage from
storms and rust ; 25, mostly uortuoru oounties, report no damage troni
cither cause.
Jute Borre, Biaoiso, Etc.—The market for the past week
has not been active, and the inquiry noted in our last has
almost ceased. There has been a fair amount of business for
jobbing wants, but large lots are not wanted. Prices are easiec
and tend in buyers' favor. Bagging is now quoted at 9Mc. for
1)^ lbs., lO^c. for 2 lbs. and ll^e. for standard grades. Butt*
have not been taken except in small lots, and though no change
has been made in quotations, there is an easier tone to th»
market, and an offer at a shade under our figures might obtain
a lot. Paper grades are held at 2 9-16@2%e,, while bagging
qualities are quoted at 2%@3e.

compai^son of the port movement by weeks is not accurate
as the weeks in different years do not end on the same day of the
month. We have consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader may
constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relativemovement for the years named. The movement each month;
since September 1, 1881. has been as follows:

To-day there was a Brmer, though quiet, market; bat

trade.
The wheat market shows a further and material
decline in
on the spot bnt for future delivery. There has
been a moderate export demand, and receipts are still on a
greatly reduced scale as compared with last year; but the pressell and the loss of confidence in the future of value*,
under the present accumulation of supplies, have forced down
prices. The subsidence of the floods which interru])ted railway
and other transportation in the Northwest promises more
sure to
liberal supplies in the near future.
Still, the decline is not
important. To-day the market was better. The export demand
was more urgent, and there was a revival of speculation; No.
2 red winter sold at |1 45M for December and $1 48?4 for
January.
Indian corn has shown a downward tendency, and prices have
yielded more than in previous weeks. A report from Washington was published on Wednesday saying that the forthcoming
report of the Agricultural Bureau will be very unfavorable to
the corn crop, and this gave temporary strength to the market.
But there was renewed depression yesterday. To-day, however, more favorable foreign advices caused an advance, and

noted in our last, became very active, and there was some

Oats have been variable, but with le.ss activity to the specnlative or the local trade; and the aggregate changes ia prices
are not great. To-day the market wa."* firm. No. 2 graded on
the spot, 51^e. for white and 47^c. for mixed, and No. 2 mixed

Domestic Cotton Goods.— The exports of cotton goods from
this port
during the week ending Nov. 8 were 1,580 packages,
including 700 to Great Britain, 269 to U. S. of Colombia, 144 to
Argentine Republic, 128 to British Honduras, 87 to Hayti, 75 to
Central America, &c.
There was a fairly active demand at
fabrics, but business was
with jobbers. Prices ruled very firm, and
advanced quotations were made for additional makes of brovra
and bleached goods, wide sheetings, ducks, stripes, satteens,
grain bags, &c., without apparently checking the demand, buyers realizing the fact that the most desirable fabrics are really
scarce. Print cloths have been less active in demand, but prices
ruled firm at 4c..ea8h and 4c., plus a small percentage, for 64x64

Prints continued quiet, and there was only a moderate inquiry
for ginghams and cotton dress goods.
Domestic Woolen Goods.— The market for woolen goods has
been inactive as regards new business, but there was a good
steady movement in light-weight cassimeres, suitings, worsted
coatings, &c., in execution of orders previously placed by the
clothing trade. Heavy clothing woolens moved slowly, and the
demand for
cloakings was light and irregular. Spring woolens
have rarely, if ever, been so largely sold ahead at this stage of
the season, and all fabrics of a desirable character are firmly
held by manufacturers' agents. Kentucky jeans have lacked
animation, but there was rather more inquiry for satinets, which
resulted in a moderately increased business. Scarlet and blue
flannels, also dress flannels and sackiags, were distributed in
relatively small parcels to a fair amount; and such was the case
with blankets and shawls but worsted dress goods were slug;
