It may surprise some that in face of a freer breadstuffs
and cotton movement foreign exchange should show
increased firmness and higher rates.
This we think is but
temporary and caused chiefly by an inquiry for bankers’
bills for remittance for incoming securities,
especially
United States bonds, not only those called but others
also.
It should be remembered that the 4s selling in our
market at 122 paid off at par when due in 1907, net the
holder only about 2f per cent interest, whereas English
consols are selling at 101£ and hence are the better invest¬
ment.
These prices therefore, as well as the calls issued,
are
constantly bringing our governments this way, and the
large coinage of silver dollars with the certainty that if
continued we shall drop to a silver basis for our cur¬
rency, undoubtedly serves to increase that tendency.

than we have ever before in the history of the country,
and the whole of it is going into consumption.
A good
illustration of this activity in production and distribution
is found in the railroad earnings we published last week
which showed a gain of 11 per cent in October this year,
and that was on top of a gain of 16 per cent for the same
mo.oth last year.
If any considerable crowd wish to
croak over such figures as these, the disease must we
think be chronic, and they should certainly be permitted
to exercise the.privilege unmolested.

(what is not the least point in
them will be constant and
their
favor) easily remembered.
That the old system—or,
rather, lack of system—was
needlessly complex ; that it tended to produce great con¬
fusion, and that it operated to increase the liability to ac¬
cidents, has long been apparent. Each road consulted its
own donvenience,
irrespective of the effect of such action
upon other roads, and the result has been that quite fre¬
quently several different kinds of time have been in use
at one and the same point.
And the differences have
been exceedingly variable ; so that to the traveler
going
any distance a watch became nearly useless.
Were it
merely necessary for him to adjust it to the time of the
place where he stopped, that would be troublesome
enough, for the difference might b9
minutes, or 7£
minutes, dr 22| minutes, or anything else for that matter,
and there would be no way of learning its exact propor¬
tion without more or less computation or comparison.
But
that was not the only difficulty.
After making the
change, one might find that the new time was not sche¬
dule railroad time at all.

One of the objections urged against .the new arrange¬

when the sun is on the meridian.
To such argument it is

while the real difference, according to locality,

there could be no confusion, since the difference would be
known to all and remembered by all—just one hour, no
more, no less.
And if such points had to keep their own

than what they have to do in many instances now.
On the other hand, the advantages of the system, some

be little doubt that the
plan of confederation
gather strength if there should be persistent opposition
offered by the government in London to the annexation
scheme. But it is not likely that the Imperial Government
will do more than resist any theory which has a lawless
or filibustering aspect.
The Gladstone government is
composed of men who were down on what they called the
“Jingoism” of the last administration; and anything
which has the appearance of “Jingoism ” will be sure to
meet their disapproval.
There is, however, no longer any
danger that New Guinea will fall into other hands. It
is a foregone conclusion that it is to become a portion
of the British empire, and that Australia shall have the
immediate fruit of any advantages which may result from
annexation.
But, regardless of this question, the scheme
of confederation seems to approve itself.
On the Aus¬
tralian mainland there are five separate colonies—Queens*
land, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and
Western Australia, and each with its own Governor and
its own Legislative Council, and
representing a population
of nearly 3,000,000.
Then there are New Zealand and
Tasmania, which would naturally form part of the con¬
federation with an additional population of nearly 700,000Considering the vast extent of territory which would thus
be brought more directly under one central control without
in any way interfering with the existing rights and institu¬
tions of the separate colonies, and
considering also the
homogeneous character of the populations, the event would
have a world wide importance.
It would be another
triumph won by the English-speaking portion of mankind,
for it would be the virtual founding of a new and
mighty
nation, secured to English speech and wedded to liberal

On
Thursday that gentleman presented
petition for the liquidation of his affairs, Gating his liabil¬
ities at £1,080,000, the assets being estimated at about £350,000.
The first meeting of creditors is summoned for the 22d ult.
It is believed that of Mr. Ringer’s unsecured debts about
£400,000 are in Liverpool, £100,000 in New York and £60,000
in Havre.
Five additional firms have also announced that they
are unable to meet their engagements, viz., Messrs. Forman
&
Sons, Messrs. Hollinshead, Tetley & Co., Messrs. Henry Pearce
& Co., Messrs. Mellor & Fenton and Messrs. Joseph Taylor &
Co.
The liabilities are considerable but they are small com¬
pared with those of Mr. Ranger. The cotton market was
unsettled for a short period but the trade closes with a moder ately cheerful appearance.
These failures, following so quickly upon those in the corn
trade, will have undoubtedly a certain adverse influence upon
the course of general business, and any immediate improvement
in commercial circles has become, therefore, more improbable.
Important, however, as they are, the difficulties which have
been made public of late can scarcely be regarded as of a
character from which the conclusion may be drawn that the
position of our trade is one of hopeless insecurity. As long
as advantages are offered
to bold and reckless individuals to
speculate largely, just so long will there be the possibility of
such startling disclosures. A sensation will be created, to be
in the majority of cases of short duration, and legitimate trade
will proceed, though with this favorable distinction that judic¬
ious merchants will be able to conduct their operations with
greater Security.
Had the losses which have been incurred at
Liverpool been brought about by the legitimate pursuit of
business, say on an unexpected depreciation in the value of
goods actually shipped to the Eastern and other markets*

speculative
failures,
the
question
is one of arranging differences between a comparatively few
individuals, the larger portion of the trade being affected in
quite a minor degree. As far as the grain trade is concerned
(speaking, of course, from this country’s point of view, and
therefore as a buyer), we are in a position of considerable
advantage. The difficulties which have been reported at New¬
castle have arisen out of the fact that a wrong judgment was
formed earlier in the year as to future supplies. Instead of
comparative scarcity* we have actual abundance, and even
now, when prices are weak and stocks unusually heavy, the
great producing countries are still anxious to procure a market
in this country.
There is, in fact, great competition amongst
sellers, and hence we are able to purchase on very easy terms.
The outlook for the winter months for the laboring classes is,
it is to be feared, far from promising, and it is encouraging to
think that bread, at all events, will continue cheap.
The position of the Bank of England is scarcely so strong ;

scriptions in this country for £2,254,100 Buenos Ayres 6 per
cents, for the construction of the port of Euscuada, in the pro¬

PACIFIC RAILWAY, in older to insure to its
fixed minimum dividend on their shares, and thus con¬
CANADIAN
stockholders
a
absolutely reliable security for permanent invest¬
deposited with the Government of the Dominion of
Canada money and securities, in c< lisideration of which that Gov¬
ernment, on the 10th day of November instant, executed a con¬
tract with the company and the Bank of Montreal, under which
it bound itself to pay into that bank as trustee for tiic shareholders,
on tlie 17th day of February and August in each year until the 17th
of August, 1803, inclusive, a sum of money sufficient to pay a semi¬
annual divideud of IL3 per cent 011 the entire outstanding capital
stock of the company. Out of this sum the Bank of Montreal, by the
same contract, covenants with the Railway Company to pay to the
stockholders half-yearly dividends at the above rate.
It is the intention of the railway company to supplement the guaran¬
teed dividend by an additional 1 per cent semi-annually during con¬
struction, thus making*iu annual dividend on the stock of 5 per cent,
and, after the entire completion of the railway (which, it is expected,
will he accomplished at latest by the spring of 1886), by such further
dividends as its earnings will warrant.
Notwithstanding this arrangement, securing a minimum dividend for

Pennsylvania.—A dispatch to the New York Tribune, re¬
cently, said :
It has been disclosed to-day that the
Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is about completing a policy it has entertained for
some time of leasing its mines.The company’s officers have
very little to say on the subject, but those who are in their
confidence state that there is every reason to believe that the
arrangements for leasing the properties have about been com¬
pleted, and that they will be taken by a wealthy sjmdieate, of
which William L. Scott, of Erie, is the head.
The terms of the
lease have not been made known, but those in
position to know
say the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will not realize less
than one dollar per ton net on all the coal taken out of the
mines.
T heir entire production this year will be 3,000,000 tons.
The collieries are located in the Stiamokin
region, and their
output will be nearly all used in tne Western trade, being
shipped from Buffalo and Erie. The officials of the Phila¬
delphia & Reading Company express no surprise over the
matter, as they state that they have known of negotiations of
the kind being in progress for a 37ear or more.

specution in cotton for future delivery at this market
has been only moderately active for the week under review,
and the fluctuations in prices were within comparatively nar¬
row limits.
Saturday opened depressed under dull accounts
from Liverpool, but most of the early decline was recovered,
owing to a rumor that the forthcoming Bureau report would
be unfavorable.
This report appeared on Monday, and was
regarded as pointing to a crop of about 0,000,000 bales. A
slight decline followed. The weather became less favorable
for picking purposes, the movement of the crop fell olf a little,
the exports increased, the foreign markets were stronger and in
the course of Wednesday and Thursday prices were advancing.
There was some buying to cover contracts, a few orders from
the South, and, in view of the large consumption in progress,
some revival of speculative confidence.
To-day there was a
further advance in the morning hours, but business soon
became dull, and in the absence of demand prices gave way,
the close being slightly lower than last evening.
Cotton on
the spot was very dull early in the week, and on Monday
q notations were reduced 1-lGc. There was a better business
on Thursday, mainly for cotton in transit.
To-day the market
was quiet, but firm at 10 7-lGc for middling
Uplands.

receipts from the
plantations since September 1, in 1883, were 2,270,362 bales; in
were 2,172,709 bales; in 1SS1 were 2,191,109 bales.
2.—That, although the receipts at the out-ports the past week
were 242,078 bales, the actual movement from plantations was
272,758 bales, the balance going to increase the stocks at the
1882
interior towns.
Last year the receipts from the plantations
for the same week were 291,537 bales and for 1S81 they were

Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations
Receipts at the outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following. In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement oi the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

THE
540
Department’s Crop Report.—The following is
the statement of the Department issued on Saturday, ISTov. 10,
product this year.
The returns of the corps of correspondents of the Depart¬
ment of Agri-ulture reiative to cotton show a slight improve¬
ment since the last report.
The weather has generally been
favorable for harvesting, and in portions of the field the top
crop has yielded better than was hoped.
There were no frosts
in October except on the northern border of the cotton belt,
and at least an average length of season is already assured.
The returns give county estimates of average yield per acre,
and aggregate product compared with the crop of last year.
The indicated product, considering rate of yield and acreage,
is nearly 86 per cent of last year’s crop.
“The averages of yield per acre are : North Carolina, 160 ;
South Carolina, 141; Georgia, 132 ; Florida (for Sea Island and
upland), 98; Alabama, 128; Mississippi, 175; Louisiana, 228 ;
Texas, 163 ; Arkansas, 230; Tennessee, 181.
“The product, compared with 1S82 is for North Carolina, 85 per
cent; South Carolina, 84 ; Georgia, 90; Florida, 93 ; Alabama,
91; Mississippi, 85 ; Louisiana, 86 ; Texas, 80; Arkansas, 87 ;

Report—The Agricultural Bureau kfc
Washington issued the following report November 12 :
In October the final report of “ condition of corn which aver¬
aged 78” was interpreted to mean a product “ close to sixteen
hundred million bushels.” The acreage yield per acre appears to
be twenty-three and one-tenth bushels, one and a half bushels per
acre lower than the yield of 1882.
This gives a result practically
identical with that of October. On the average reported in
July, sixty-eight and throe-tenth millions, the exact figures
would be fifteen hundred and seventy-seven million bushels.
In the revision of the season’s returns this result will not be
materially changed. The product will therefore be about forty
million bushels short of the previous crop, notwithstanding the
increase of area.
This is the third in succession below au aver¬
age yield, following six successive crops above an average yield,
or twenty-six bushels per acre.
The yield of the corn surplus
States are as follows : Ohio, 28 bushels per acre ; Indiana, 27 ;
Illinois, 26 ; Iowa, 24 3 ; Missouri, 27*5 ; Kansas, 36*7 ; Nebraska,

36 bushels.
are in the
Missouri Valley. In the Middle States New York
averages 22 ; New Jersey 28 ; and Pennsylvania 28’5 bushels.
In the Southern States Maryland averages 23‘5 bushels ;
Virginia, 14 ; North Carolina, 12 ; South Carolina, 8 ; Greoi’gia,
9 ; Florida, S’5 ; Alabama, 11.5 ; Mississippi, 13 5 ; Louisiana,
14 2 ; Texas, 17 5 ; Tennessee, 20 bushels.

Importations of Dry Roods.

:
Prints
agents’ hands, and prices for. fancy prints are weak and
unsettled, as far at least as “off-styles” are concerned.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—There was a very limited demand
for men’s-wear woolens, and transactions were mainly restricted
to making deliveries of spring goods on account of back
orders. Tlie most desirable eassimeres, suitings and worsteds
are steady in price, and pretty well sold up, but inferior styles
are in ample supply and less firm than really attractive
goodst
Cloakings ruled quiet, and Jersey cloths and stockinettes were
very dull, owing in a measure to the keen competition of im¬
ported goods of this class. Satinets and Kentucky jeans were
lightly dealt in, and there was a very moderate business in flan¬
nels, blankets and dress goods, while transactions in hosiery and
underwear were chiefly confined to placing orders for next
spring.
Foreign Dry' Goods.—There was little, if any, improvement
in the demand for imported goods at first hands.
Velveteens
were in fair request, but
silk velvets, plushes and silks ruled
quiet.
Dress goods were dull and cloakings were freely
offered at auction, where they' were readily disposed of, but at
low prices.
As above noted, holiday goods were fairly active.
