Notwithstanding the week under review has been broken
into by the Presidential election with all its depressing influences particularly aggravated this year in consequence of the
uncertainty which attached to the result for some days the
exchanges make the most favorable comparison with last year
of any week since the beginning of our record. In fact, Portland, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Columbus and Kansas
City report clearings in excess of 1883, this being especially
noticeable at Columbus, where the increase reaches 26'6 per
cent. Kansas City, which all along has made a better exliibit
tlian last year, fall-j somewhat behind preceding weeks, recording an increase of 31 '5 per cent, against 87 '8 per cent November 1 and 33-7 per cent October 2.5.
At New York the speculation on the Stock Exchange,
although still far from active, has been of larger proportions,
and to this is due, to a great extent, the improvement shown.
The falling oft from Ijist year is now only 23 '3 percent, against
43'9 per cent

and $97,432 in 1881, so that the present total of $2,539,000

This difference in results between these two leading
Northwestern systems brings up again the question, why
may one do so well while the other does so poorly? The
answer must bo the same as that previously given. In
the first place, the Northwest has a line into the Northern
peninsular of Michigan while the St. Paul has not. The
company's officials tell us, as heretofore stated, that not
only has the mineral traffic on this division undergone a
diminution in volume, but it has had to be carried at
materially reduced rates.
To this may be added the further explanation that the Northwest is much more largely
than the St. Paul dependent upon the movement of corn,

isfactory state of things has been intensified by the financial
pressure which for months past has injuriously affected every
department of industry. In England the business has suffered
from the combined action of over-production at home and
diminished power of consumption abroad. The serious fall in
the prices of all kinds of foreign and colonial produce lias
materially curtailed the purchasing power of our largest customers, while the movements of the markets have been further
retarded by the political disturbances in China and Egypt, and
by the outbreak of cholera in Southern Europe. On the Continent trade has been depressed, not only by general over-production, but also by various local adverse influences, financial
stringency in Russia, the fall in the value of agricultural produce in Germany and Austria, the appearance of the cholera
in France

and
Italy.

Great
Instead of the further progress which was calculated upon at the opening of the season, there has been
almost everywhere a falling back. In Great Britain the reduction in the quantity of cotton spun has amounted to about 3
per cent, against an increase of nearly 3 per cent in the previous season. In the United States the reduction is about 4
per cent, against an increase of nearly 5 per cent. On the Continent, against an increase of over 5}4 per cent in the previous season, there is a small decrease in some districts wliich
about counterbalanced by a small increase in other districts.
The diminished consumption of the raw material has been
more than offset by the serious reduction in the yield of the
American crop; and the season closes with a materially reduced
visible supply, and a still more important slirinkage in the
stocks at the mil's, which is only partially counterbalanced by
The recent
increased stocks of goods.

PROSPECTS.
Twelve months ago the general impression was that the newseason would witness a further increase in consumption. We
expressed some misgivings on this point, but we accepted the
popular notion .as a basis upon which to forecast the probable
movements of supply and demand—in other words, we overestimated the wants of consumers, though our figures were
considered too small. At the present moment the bias of public

Last season American spinners consumed 1,977,517 bales.
This season they may not use more than 1,900,000. Canada
and Mexico will want 80,000 bales, as their stocks are cleared
out.
This would make a total of 1,980,000. As American
spinners hold only 15,000, against 103,000 last year, they may
easily take 50,000 bales in addition to their consumption they
are sure to take this quantity if prices remain low. This would

wliich,
added
to
4,220,000 for Europe, gives 6,250,000 as the total crop required
from the South, on the basis of a conaumption (in Europe and
America jointly) about the same as the season before last, and
leaving the stocks in the American and European ports, and at
the English and Continental mills, at the end of the season the
same as at the beginning. In short it is necessary, in order to
prevent any further encroachment upon stocks, that the American crop shall not be less than from 6,200,000 to 6,250,000
bales.
As the present low range of values is laying the foun-
to over production and to the general depression in trade. Spinners
have had to pav a higher price for cotton, and accept a lower one for
yarn. At present the 7Vo»i)ef'» do not look favorable; but as the food
crops are good, a better business is expected. There has been an increase of 10 per cent in the consumpiiou of cotton, owing to an addition
of IS.tOa to the number of srindles. Stocks of cotton, on average,
rather less than last year. Stocks of yarns and goods 10 to 20 per cent
larger.

for sateens, have returned to tho production of calico and flooded the
South Gcrmiiu markets. The Prospiets are better, owing to good granl
crops and to lower prices of cotton ; but little improvement can take
place unless Lancashire can lind some other outlet for her yarns. The

There were not m*ny complaints during the first half, but spinuTs of

In the second halt business has been bad all round. English e imP' titiou has been severely felt by tlie home trade, while the e.icport lu-anches

The Paul Season was fairly satisfactory during the (list half, but unremiinerative, especially to weavers, during the second half— owbigto production being in excess of demand, and to Manchester competition. Tho
eab s to home consumers have been fully cti lal to the previous season,
and the shipments to the Dutch > ast Indies have been satisfactory a* to

lood crops are good and cotton cheap, tho Prospects for tlio new seasi n
are ver3' promising. The consumidiou of cotton has be -n rataer less
than last season, owing to two mills having been burnt down; the
reduced consumption, however, is only about 80 to 100 bales per week.

as the year alvftnced the position lost strength, not only in svmpa'hy

and. with tho prospects of a large cotton crop, disturbed polities in

but the increase, ir any, must have been modiM-ate, aituongh there is
always a tendency to improve the spindles, and jis there a'so aiipears
that lower counts' of yarn were made. Stocks of cotton in the mills are
lower than during any of 'he past years, and it may ba said that, as a

below the new official rate, and the banks and discount houses
are allowing one quarter per cent less interest than is usual.
Under all these circumstances, it is very clear that the course
of events is still imcertain, but there is an impression that four
per cent will not suffice.

arable land on the other hand is this year less by 1-14,000 acres,

area of cultivated land in Groat Britain are this year
47'1 per cent under permanent pasture, 26'1 under corn
The concrops and lO'S per cent under green crops.
tinued decrease of arable land and increase in permanent pasture is again referred to by the collectors as being due
not alone to the laying down in grass of laud newly reclaimed
and enclosed in various districts, but in great measure also to
the transition from one system of farming to another that has
been gradually taking place. The low prices of corn, and tlie
more remunerative character of stock farming insisted on in
the present day by those best qualified to judge of the question, appear to render it matter for congratulation rather than
otherwise that acquiescence in the altered conditions of farming seems to be gaining ground, more especially when the
great interest which the people of this country have in increased
home production of meat is borne in mind."
The following return shows the extent of the sales of homegrown produce in the 187 principal markets of England and

Texas Central. This company has executed a general

Virginia & Carolina. In pursuance of an ordinanca
adopted by the City Council of the City of Petersburg, Va.,
the City Treasurer ha.s issued to the Virginia & Carolina ER.
Company $100,000 of City of Petersburg bonds, to aid in the
construction of the road from Petersburg to Wards, North
Carolina. The bonds of the city are d.ated July 1. 1883, and
are payable thirty years after date. They bear'O per cent interest, payable semi-annually.
The legality of the charter of
the Virginia & Carolina Railroad is to be tested by persons in
Dinwiddle County, through which the road is to run.
Wisconsin Central. This company's new line to St. Paul
will be completed and ready for operation in about twenty
days. The Central's contracts with the Duluth and Manitoba
roads, over whose tracks an entrance to the city of St. Paul is
to be effected, have been approved and signed by all parties
concerned. The Wisconsin Central officials are confident that
the new line will be ready for operation into St. Paul by Dec. 1.
The company's contracts with the Duluth and Manitoba roads
are for a term of twenty-five years, with provisions for their
renewal at the expiration of that time should it be desired.
The attention of investors is directed to the card of the
Corbin Banking Coiuiiany in the advertising columns of the
Chronicle. This company has been engaged for many years
in taking mortgages at profitable rates of interest on Western
farm property and negotiating the same by sale to private
investors. The company has had remarkable success in tliis
business, by making its loans with care, and the parties who
have purchased these bonds from the Corbin Banking Co.
are apparently so well satisfied that they commend the loans
heartily to other investors. The company furnishes in neat
little pamphlets complete information about its loans, the
—
—
details of the business, and testimonials from those who have
invested in these mortgage bonds for a number of years
past.

The claims of the book are vouched for by cashiers of prominent banks and others.

NEW YORK, FRIDAY, NOV. 14, 1884-3 P. M.
The Money Market and Financial Situation. During the
early days of the week attention was still so deeply engrossed
with the Presidential contest that business was much neglected.
It was not until Thursday — nine days after the election— that
the public mind became satisfied that there was no longer any
uncertainty as to the result, and that there was no possibility
of a renewed performance of the wretched drama of 1870.
Nothing kills business like uncertainty, and it was this influence which put a damper on business during the past ten days.
The railroad earnings for the first week of November are
particularly unfavorable, owing to the excitement throughout

The Invkstors' Supplement contains a complete exhibit of the
Funded Debt of States and Cities and of the Stocks and Bonds
nf Railroads and other Companies. It is published on the
ANNUAL REPORTS.
Mobile & Ohio Railroad.
{For the year ending June 30, 1884.)
The publication of the report waa delayed by the illness of
Col. Jordan, the General Manager, whose death occuiTed on
Nov. 9, and whose loss as an upright and competent officer
the company must feel very greatly. Mr. W. B. Duncan, the
President remarks in his report
"The trustee and receiver upon his accounting to the court,
and the committee of re-organization upon terminating tlieir
trust, turned over the balance of the new securities remaining
in their hands respectively to the Mobile & Ohio Railroad Co.,
as authorized and directed so to do by the court, and the
company placed the S3me with otlw-r assets so received to the
credit of a renewal fund. Apainst this fund has been charged,
from time to time, certain outlay not strictly connected with
the operating of the road, and among othfrs was charged the
$100,000 expenditure entailed upon the Mobile & Ohio Railroad Co. in the construction of the Kentucky & Tennessee
Railroad (Cairo Extension) over and al)ove the amount of
money provided for by the issuance of the Cairo Extension
:
bonds.
"Furthermore, on the creation of the $1,000,000 first mortgage extension bonds, the balance ($400,000) of said bonds
not necessary for the absorption by exchange of the $600,000
Cairo Extension bonds, was appropriated to reimburse the
above-mentioned $100,000 by sale of $100,000 of said bonds
at par, and the remaining $300,000 bonds are held in and
for account of tlie renewal fund, to be disposed of in like
manner as may lureafler be required for such furtli^r ailditions and improvements as may be deemed necessary for the
maintenance of the business of the road.
"The securities so held in the renewal fund at this date areas
follows $300,000 first mortgage extension bonds S';l06,300
second preferred debentures; .'^7,200 third preferred deben:
:
tures $317,700 fourtli preferred debentures $85 shares of the
capital stock." * * «
"An examination of the comparative exhibits herewith
attached will show that while the gross earnings of the road
have in effect been uniform for the past four years, with the
exception of the yellow fever year, and the exijenses have also
;
;
remained about the same, the road has been compelled to do a
largely increased percentage of l>u&iness for the same amount
of money the constant struggle on the part of the public
to
reduce rates, the attacks of legislatures, and the increased competition arLsing at various points, has forced a reduction in
the passenger and freight rates, which the management lias
however, not altogether objected to, in view of tlie desire on
their part to meet the wishes of their patrons as far
as they
consistently can, leaving a net result in the increase of business.
The net result to the present time has not rewarded the
company for these reductions." * * * " The connection
Total disburse'ts
is beginning to show its
miportance. The business received at Cah-o during the past
year has mcreased materially. It is proper, however, to state
that a certain proportion of this is lost at Jackson, which, before such connection at Cairo was made, was received at
that
point, but still the balance is largely in favor of the company
and shows the value and importance of this connection."
The comparative statistics for four vears, compiled for the
Chronicle, are as follows:

Memphis & Charleston Railroad.
(F^r the year ending June 30, 18S4.)
It is acceptable to have a report of this company again after
a lapse of several years without reports. The President, Mr.
Samuel Thomas, remarks that large additions have been made
to the company's motive power and rolling stock, under the
car trust lease authorized to be made at the last annual meeting.
Additional freight cars are now being built for the company under s.iid lease.
Ho calls attention to the improved physical condition of the
and especially to the amount of steel rails now ia
the track. In view of the present low price of steel rails and
the greater economy and safety with which a good track can
be oijerated, the substitution of steel for old iron rails should
be continued as speedily as the means of the companv will
permit, until the entire main track shall have been laid with
property,
steel.
The increase
in the company's gross revenues during the
year amounted to about 1'3 7-10 per cent of the revenue of the previous year.
This result was attained notwithstanding the fact that the company has as yet failed to derive
the full benefits from the completion of the Kansas City Fort
Scott & Gulf Railroad. That road was opened for traffic
October 23, 1883, but owing to Hoods in the Mississippi Valley
its operation had to be suspended Jan. 29, 1881, and it was
not until April 9, 1884, that it could be fully resumed.
The following is a statement of operations of the Memphis
& Charleston Railroad (leased), for the year ending June 30,

The percentage of ojierating expenses to gross receipts is
68-7 per cent, against 6S-4 per cent last year.
Tlie increase is
fully accounted for by the fact that last year, for steel rail and
fastenings, there was spent but $3,015
whereas, tliis year
$151,008 have been spent in this item alone.
In addition to the above, and included in operating expenses,
there have been expended the following sums, properly chargeable to betterments.

has been fairly active for the week under review and some
advance in prices has taken place. The foreign and Southern
markets have been rather stronger than was generally anticipated. Saturday and Monday were quiet.
Tuesday and
Wednesday were quite variable, making little change on the
whole.
Yesterday, on the better reports from Liverpool, a
further advance in Southern markets, and the unfavorable
Bureau report, there was a very buoyant opening, but the advance was checked in the last hour and partly lost at the
close xmder sales to realize.
To-day Liverpool was reported
decidedly lower, but such was the confidence that an early
decline was followed by a partial recovery, and as compared
with last Friday there is an advance of 18@2C points. Cotton
on the t:pot advanced l-16c. on Monday and again on Tuesday,

Receipt.8 from the Plantations. —The following table is
prepared for the piirpo.se of indicating the actual movement each
A-eek from tho plantations. Receipts at the outports are somelimes misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another at the expanse of the interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following.
In reply to frequent intjuiries we will ad(i
that these figures, of course, do not inclu le overland receipts
or Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the outports.

re-arranged our India service so as to make our reports more
detailed and at tlie same time more accurate. We had found
it impossible to keep out of our figures, as cabled to us for the
ports other than Bombay, cargoes which proved only to be
shipments from one India port to another. The plan now
followed relieves us from the danger of this inaccuracy and
keeps the totals correct. We first give the Bombay statement

Using the above figures of estiniate<l yield in eacli State, and
applying tliem to the acreage figured by us on the percentage
returns of the Agricultural Department issued in June tlxis

obtain tho result in bales we have divided tho pounds by 455.
This figure is taken on the expectation (judging from present
indications) that net weights will average about that figure
this year.

BREADSTUFFS.
Friday, P.
M
,
November
14, 1881.
The flour market was dull and depressed early in the week.
The demand for all grades Eeemed to come almost to a standstill,
and prices, although without marked decline, ruled
strongly in favor of buyers, even at the low figures previously
current. Corn meal was also quiet, but buckwheat ilour was
in fair request.
The wheat market had also a downward tendency early in
the week, but with the speculation feverishly active; and the
fluctuations, within narrow limits, were frequent and fitful.
The extreme low prices which have been reached have seemed
to discourage sales for the decline, and yet the situation
regarding the prospective supply and demand was not
such as to promote buying for the rise, and in the uncertainty
the rumor or impulse of the hour controlled the course of
values. A scarcity, and the comparatively high rates, of ocean
freights have had a tendency to limit the export demand. On
Wednesday, however, it was reported that a large number of
vessels had been chartered to load in December, and yesterday
there was some revival of speculative activity and confidence
at the 'West, giving a stronger turn to futures in this market.
To-day there was a slight further advance in futures, but the
speculation was inactive.

Indian corn has been onJ y moc erateljr active, and some
irregularity has been developed in the course of values. Novery active influences have been at work, and there is a feeling of uncertainty aff'ecting the speculation in futures. The
fact that prices for the first three months of 1885 are about
the same will not escape attention. The business in corn for
immediate delivery has been fair, and there is a scarcity of
samples of the pure grades white or yellow. Today the
market was dull and scarcely so firm for futures, but spots
—
were stronger.
