If anv reader will study the various markets, commeu'ial a« well as financial, he will find one condition
common to almost all of them. When business in
the earlier months of tho year began to show evident
and decided signs of improvement, the natural recoil
from the long extreme depression caused a speculative
feeling to develop which continued until prices had
reached a high level, and in some departments at least
a higher level than the existing circumstances war­
ranted. To day it is quite significant to notice how
many of the markets are in turn reported in a waiting
attitude. The fact is, current quotations in many
casts have shown not only that the present degree
of prosperity has been discounted but that the
future has been drawn upon to a considerable extent.
In some respects this represents the iron market, a de­
partment which reports a production larger than ever
before reached and increasing, and for the moment at
least a still larger consumption ; but important buyers
are holding off, not willing to place orders lest there may
be a drop in price after their contract is in. Leather
furnishes another conspicuous instance of somewhat
similar surroundings, and textile fabrics another, and
these together typify a numerous class. Have not
securities been in much the same predicament ?
Gauged by existing dividends, and in many cases by
current earning*, have not recent quotations been far
enough in advance of present developments to warrant
a waiting attitude ?
The foregoing suggestions indicate a natural but
temporary state of business affairs, with a promise of
renewed activity later on under the influence of the
favorable industrial conditions which are developing
now. That favorable outlook though is beset with
one serious drawback which the course of transac­
tions at our Stock Exchange this week, under the
prominent influence of the week, has again illus­
trated. The whole truth is that every strain
in Europe means now-a-days a pinch here because
of the condition of our currency. Among our
selves confidence in the converdb lity of our dollars
is with good reason absolute. We do not merely b •lieve but the general feeling is that we know it will be
maintained. And yet we have been forcibly reminded
the past few days of the sensitiveness and weakness of
our financial arrangements. Under ordinary circum­
stances the effect of war, if it were imminent, or
suggestions of war in Europe, ought to be not to
decrease but, if anything, to increase foreign invest
ments in America. The natural course of action
would be to incline capitalists to pat their
money where it would be least affected by the event of
such a contest. Moreover while the war was in prog­
ress its probable effect would bi to add to the demand
for our food products and to increase our general
trade. Altogether then if we had a sound currency,
more or less political tension in Europe ought to have
no unfavorable influence on securities here, while
actual war would presumably add to their value.
On Wednesday and Thursday the European centers
of trade gave evidence of a disturbed feeling prevailing
in foreign financial circles everywhere. As a common
source for the feeling could only account for such a
general derangement it was assumed chiefly to reflect
an increased delicacy in the relations existing between
(rreat Britain and liusda, in confirmation of which
extracts were cabled from an article in a Russian news­

[VoL. LXI.

paper, claimed to be a semi official utterance, expressiveof the fresh irritation felt towards Great Britain.
Features of this disturbance on that day were an unset­
tling effect upon the Paris, Berlin, London and Vienna
bourses, a decided break on the Continent in Turkish
stocks, new anxiety about mining properties in London
and Paris, and increased sales in New York of American
shares for London account. Yesterday the disquietude
in London was less of a feature. A fact of some import­
ance as indicating the lack of substance to these rumors
was that the open market discount rates in Europe were
not materially changed. We have written on a subse­
quent page on these new outcroppings of the Eastern
question, and we need only say here that we can see
nothing of a startling nature in the recent rumors. It
seem3 to u3 much more likely that Lord Salisbury will
surprise the world by some arrangement of the differ­
ences so long existing between Russia and England
than that there will be a breaking out of hostilities.
This subject of European political complications,..
is, as we have already said, chiefly of interest
to the United States because the results on our
*oreign exchange rates and the spasm on our
Stock Exchange warn us again to put our finan­
cial house in order if we would expect to reap the full
benefit of the revival of trade which has so auspiciously
begun. As things now stand, there is not an adverse
financial or political symptom noticeable in any foreign
bouiBe that does not strike our foreign exchange mar­
ket, and through that our Stock Exchange. Bankers
say that about £1,000,000 of cotton drafts have come
forward this week, having been delivered on contract,,
and more are expected to b9 delivered within the next
fifteen days; but they add that in their opinion
these will be insufficient under existing circumstances
to meet the requirements of the market. No new
bankers' bills against the negotiation of securities have
been offered and none are looked for at present. Theunsettled condition of the London and Continental
markets, which, as heretofore remarked, has resulted
in increased arbitrage selling of American stocks on
European account, does not encourage attempts to
place American loans abroad for the time being.
Contrary to general expectations the new trunk line
agreement was not formally signed and sealed at the
meeting of the presidents in this city on Wednesday.
The delay is not to be regarded, however, as indicating
any change of attitude towards the scheme on the part
of the various railroads. The official statement given
out after the close of the meeting distinctly says that
“ no dissent was expressed, and the boards of directors of
the parties to the agreement have acted favorably upon
it. ' The postponement was occasioned by the sugges­
tions of further amendments to- the scheme, some
of these suggestions coming from the legal advisers of
the roads and being prompted by a desire to remove any
possibility of doubt as to the legality of the contract,
there is one aspect of the matter that must be regarded;
as very encouraging. We have oa previous occasions
expressed our opinion that the new agreement, in its
general features, was one of the most important con­
tracts ever formulated for the acceptance of any body
of roads in the country, it would of course be a
strange conditio i of things if the contracting
parties did not understand and appreciate its
importance
and the noteworthy departure in
the affairs of the roads which its adoption will
work. The fact that they are proceeding slowly and
deliberately, weighing the bearing and effect of every

There is one suggestion in the report of the Govern­
ment directors of the Union Pacific, just submitted,
to which Congress should give heed. The suggestion
is to the effect that in any settlement of the debt, pro­
vision be made for terminating absolutely all Govern­
ment interest in the Pacific railroads. The Govern­
ment directors would have the United States accept a
fixed sum in money or a determinate amount of bonds,
and once and forever take the Government out of the
affairs of the Pacific roads. They well say that such a
course would be preferable to the continuance for an

THE CHRONICLE.

distrust and suspieion. On the other hand, a hill call­
ing for an actual money payment in satisfaction of the
debt—say for the full principal amount of the bonds—
would, we are persuaded, meet with little antagonism.
The proposition would be plain and easily understood,
the money payment required would be certain, definite
and tangible, rather than remote and subject to future
contingencies and mishaps, and no opportunity exist­
ing for taking advantage of or overreaching the Gov­
ernment, there would be no basis on which to hang
charges to that effect.
There is still another consideration that enters into
the matter. In the way suggested the Government
would be able to secure better terms than by any other
means. The most serious factor in the affairs of the
Pacific roads in the past—the most deterrent element
to an outsider—has always been the peculiar Govern­
ment relationship to the properties. There was no
telling what embarrassments, troubles and difficulties
this might not eventually lead to. With the debt
extended, the sac e element of doubt and uncertainty
would exist as before. But with the debt satisfied that
factor would be removed and the Government be
piaued in position to realize the largest possible amount
from the companies.
The Government directors advance* certain proposals
for carrjing out their suggestion of a severance of the
relations with the Government. These propositions,
however, w e cannot regard as altogether feasible. The
substance of the plan is that both the Central Pacific
and the main fine of the Union Pacific be foreclosed;
that the Government in both cases pay off or settle the
prior lien indebtedness, and that having gained pos­
session of the roads in this way the whole fine from
Omaha to San Jose (covering the Central Pacific as
welt as the Union Pacific) be sold as one piece of prop­
erty to a party or corporation willing to refund the
amount advanced by the Government to discharge the
prior liens and pay in addition a minimum sum, to bo
fixed by Congress, in satisfaction of the existing claims
against the roads. In the contingency that no one
shall be found ready to take the property at the price
fixed, it is made the duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury to report the facts to the next session of Con­
gress for such further action in regard to the minimum
bid as Congress may think proper to take.
This latter discloses the first of the weak points in
the proposition. After the United States had ad­
vanced anywhere from thirty to fifty million dollars
to take up the prior liens it might be left with the
property still on its hands. It would then be more
deeply involved than ever. To its present investment
there would be added this further large now outlay, and
as a result it would not beany better off, but worse off,
than at present, for it would have much more at stake.
It will no doubt be urged that the contingency sug­
gested can be avoided by fixing the minimum price at
which the Government claims are to be sold low enough,
but the contingency will always have to be reckoned
oa as possible, for until the roads have actually been
foreclosed and the prior hens taken up, no one can
know the outlays that may be required for
the purpose and therefore the amount to
be reimbursed to the Government on that
account by the intending purchasers. The Government
directors are strongly opposed to Government ownership
of the roads, and yet to buy up the roads by paying off
the prior liens might easily be the firststep in that direc­
tion. Consider, also, the thousand and one proposi­

773

tions to which possession of the roads (in the event of
the failure to obtain the amount of the bid) would give
rise in Congress. We are ail aware how difficult it has
been to unite our legislators upon a plan for dealing with
the roads thus far, and in the case mentioned the diffi­
culty would be increased many fold, and at the same
time the pecuniary considerations involved would be
larger. We opine that if the roads once came into the
hands of the Government (even under a contemplated
temporary and provisional arrangement) and bidders
failed to appear, control would, for the reason given,
remain with it for a long time.
It also appears to us undesirable that the Govern­
ment should undertake the work of foreclosure.
Government has no fitness for the task. Iso matter
what latitude might be allowed the Secretary of the
Treasury by Congress, he would not and could not
have the same freedom of action as private parties.
For that reason the work could not be as well done nor
as cheaply done in that way. Lack of experience
would be another element in the problem tending to
make Government conduct of the foreclosure inad­
visable. If the properties are to be sold under the ham­
mer, those having the necessary experience and train­
ing (other things being the same) will be able to do the
job much more satisfactorily than the Government.
Besides, as the purpose is to dispose of the investment
of the United States in the properties, there is no rea­
son why this should not be done before foreclosure
rather than after foreclosure, thus relieving Govern­
ment officials of all the labor incident to foreclosure pro­
ceedings.
Perhaps the most serious objection to the plan out­
lined by the Government directors is that it would
require the United States to raise a very large sum of
money. It is not iuleuded to include the Kansas
Pacific fine in the arrangement. Excluding^hat line, it
is stated the total of tho prior lien indebtedness on the
Union and Central Pacific which would have to be
provided for is 155,847,000, and this would be in­
creased to 158,847,000 by equipment payments, etc.
But the Government directors estimate that through
the application of the sinking funds in the United
States Treasury and the company sinking funds,
the esl! for cash could be reduced to $30,961,660.
They admit that in certain circumstances this
amouut might be materially increased. But in addition
the United States will also have to make provision for
the maturing currency 6s—a fact of which no cog­
nizance is taken in the plan of the Government di­
rectors. Counting the Kansas Pacific and the various
minor Bkm* to which aid was extended by the Govern­
ment, the aggregate ot these currency Os or subsidy
bonds is $64,62.3,512. The sinking funds in the
United States Treasury would take care of a part of
this, but obviously if them sinking funds aro to be
used to take up the prior liens, they will not be
available in payment of the currency 6s. To the
♦30,961,660, therefore, there must be added the
♦64,623,512, making over 954 million dollars. Allow­
ing for other outlays, the total would easily be swelled
to 100 million dollars, and this is without doubt the
lowest minimum of cash that would have to be pro­
vided.
Of course tho 100 millions could easily be raised,
but Government officials have so many other pressing
problems to deal with they ought not to be burdened
by additional work in this way. There is the question
of protecting the gold reserve, the question of retir­

mi taxation and real estate owners are bitterly
posed to the farmers who would roimpose this tax.
Personal property is more difficult to describe aceu'ely. Under the law it includes goods, chattels,
mey and effects, wherever they are, ships and vessels
home and abroad, money at interest, and other
debts due the persons to be taxed more than they are
indebted or pay interest for, but not including in such
indebtedness any loan on mortgage of real estate, tax­
able as real estate, except the excess of such loan above
the assessed value of the mortgaged real estate. It
also includes public stocks and securities, bonds of all
railroads, including street railways, stocks in turn­
pikes, bridges or moneyed corporations within or with­
out the State, and income from trade or profession
exceeding *2,000. Shares of domestic corporations
which pay a franchise tax are expressly exempted from
taxation for State, county or town purposes, but may
be faxed for school district or parish purposes.
It will be seen by this very comprehensive description,
which is quoted almost verbatim from the law, that
there is little if any imaginable personal property that
is not covered, nevertheless it is the general belief that
not more than a quarter of the personal property
actually held by citizens is assessed.
The State is divided into two hostile camps, as
almost all other States are, on this question of taxation
of personal property. One party contends that it is unjust
to tax goods, chattels, money and effects, wherever
theij are, because if these things are beyond the bor­
ders of the State, they are undoubtedly taxed by the
State where they exist, and to tax the owner here re­
sults in double taxation. A Massachusetts man, for
example, who owns a herd of cattle in Texas is doubt­
less taxed there for the value and again here. So the
farmer living near the border line may have his live
stock in a neighboring State and be taxed in both
places.
This party also contends that the taxation of stocks
of corporations organized under the laws of other
States is UDjust. If these foreign corporations own
real estate in Massachusetts, as many of them do, they
are fully taxed for this real estate where it is situated,
and to tax the shareholders also is taxing the same
thiDg twice in the same place and year. If the prop­
erty of the foreign corporation is situated beyond the
borders of the State it must contribute to the revenue
of the State which gives it protection, and its owners
the shareholders, ought not to be compelled to con­
tribute again in Massachusetts, where, in the nature of
things, it cannot receive the slightest protection. This
party quotes in support of their contention the lan­
guage of the Constitution, which in Part 1, Article X.,
says: “ Each individual of the society has a right to
be protected by it in the enjoyment of his life, liberty
and properly, according to standing laws. He is
obliged, consequently, to contribute his share to the
expense of this protection.” They claim also that the
injustice of the law is proved by its inefficiency. Just
and equitable laws are generally obeyed and not evaded.
Rut it is an admitted fact that whereas this class of
evidences of property known to he held by citizens of
the commonwealth exceeds one thousand millions of
dollars in market value, the total assessed value of
personal property of all descriptions is less than six

hundred millions, and of this particular class (shares
of foreign corporations) less than one hundred millions
is actually discovered for taxation, showing that about
nine-tenths of it is concealed from the assessors ; the
small part that is taxed mainly belongs to helpless
widows and minors whose trustees and guardians have
no personal interest in avoiding the unjust tax.
This party of tax reformers secured the abolition of
the double taxation of mortgaged real estate in 1881,
after ten years’ hard struggle in the Legislature, and
has been active almost every year sines in defending
that law and preventing its repeal. They also contend
that the taxation of “ public stocks and securities ” is
not only unjust but bad business policy ; it is unjust
in that every tax-payer is proportionally responsible for
the annual interest and ultimately for the principal of
these bonds, and to require the holder to pay back from
a quarter to a third of the interest he receives is in
effect double taxation; it is also bad business
policy in that it compels the municipality to pay a
higher rate of interest to market its bonds than would
otherwise be necessary. As a result of this injustice
and bad policy a very large proportion of city and
town bonds are sold outside the State, whereas if these
bonds were free from tax they would be attractive to a very
large class of home investors who prefer absolute secur­
ity to high interest. Moreover, as the savings banks
are taxed only about one-third the average rate, they
have become the chief home customers for city and
town loacs. These institutions are reported at a late
date to have held about $42,500,000 of the $120,000,000
of these bonds then outstanding. Every attem pt to
procure a law relieving the bonds from taxation has
been met with the plea that in that case justice to the
depositors in savings hanks would require that the
depositors be permitted to deduct the sum so invested
from their return for taxation, as they were permitted
to deduct money invested in mortgages by the law
which made mortgages free, and so the State would
lose a considerable income. I t is believed that the
fear of this loss has prevented the fair consideration of
the proposition. The tax reformers reply that it is
only proposed to make future issues free, aud so the
loss of revenue would be very gradual; besides that, it
would be better that the Sta e should lose a half per
cent on forty-two millions than that each debtor city
and town should go on paying a half per cent extra
interest (it is believed that at least so much could be
saved if the bonds were made free) on one hundred and
twenty millions.
The tax reformers also maintain that incomes should
not be taxed when derived from property already taxed;
that this is double taxation. The practice of taxing
incomes derived from property subject to taxatiou is
indeed forbidden in express terms by the law, but is
sustained by a judicial decision in a case where a mer­
chant, who had been fully taxed on his stock in trade,
was taxed again on his income exceeding $2,000. The
judge said that as this income was the combined result
of capital, industry and skill, the industry and skill
should be taxed, although the capital already had beeu!
Tire other party in the State opposed to the tax re­
formers contends that every man should be taxed accord­
ing to his ability, and that it matters not if the prop­
erty lie owns has already been taxed in some other
State; his mere ownership and residence in Massachuchusetts implies an ability which should be taxed again.
They would have the law more strictly enforced, so that
no person should escape taxation not only on all his

whereas in 1895 it is 95-5; using this difference in
like manner as above, the indicated product the present
year is seen to be 2,372,000,000 bushels, as shown by
us October 12.
There is still another method of reaching the
result, that is by using the yield per acre as the basis.
The product ia Missouri in 1894 was 22 bushels per
acre, on a condition of 70 ; with a condition of 111, as
reported for 1895, the indicated product per acre is 341
bushels. Applying this to the 6,613,000 acres planted
to corn, the aggregate promised crop is found to be a
little over 230 million bushels, which differs but
slightly from the 229,900,000 bushels arrived at by the
first method. In the same manner, taking as a basis
the 19§ bushels per acre harvested for the whole coun­
try in 1894 on a condition of 64-2, the product prom­
ised per acre in 1895 on a condition of 95'5 is seen to
he 28 13 16 bushels, and this on the 82,304,000 acres
planted points to a crop of 2,371,384,000 bushels, or
substantially the same as the amount obtained by the
other calculations.
It should of course be borne in mind that the Bureau
has put out no estimate yet of the crop, and that the
foregoing calculations are simply an attempt to inter­
pret its latest condition figures. The method of
doing this is the same as that which we have
always pursued. At best the condition figures are
only a rough approximation of the probable yield, and
the calculations based upon them are necessarily subject
to the same qualification. As far as the country as a
whole is concerned the total reached above is certain to
be very close to the actual result, judging by the reports
of various cimpetent authorities. How near the totals
for Missouri and the several States are likely to be,
however, we have no means of knowing. In another
week or two the Department will issue a statement
showing the corn yield per acre, and then it will be
possible to form a more accurate judgment in that
particular. But even these results will be subject to
change, and it is not until the close of the year that
we shall have from the Department an actual and a
definite and final statement of the crop yield.

c h r o n ic l e

contem porary is ce rtain ly astray in its figures of

acreage. It assumes an increase of 7 per cent for
Missouri, and says the acreage last year was 5,273,257
seres. The United States Agricultural Department
in July did report an increase in 1895 for that State of
7 per cent, but this was expressly stated to be “as
compared with the area p la n te d in 1894, which
was 6,180,484 acres. The 5,273,257 acres taken by the
‘'Republic” wa3 the acreage h a rv e ste d , a considerable
portion of land sown to corn in that year having had
to be abandoned by reason of the great drouth during
the summer. On this basis of the acreage planted
last year the 7 per cent increase makes the acreage the
present year 6,613,000 acres. If, therefore, our con­
temporary is right in assuming that there is an official
standard of yield per acre, and that based on such
standard the condition reported for 1895 indicates for
Missouri a yield of 43-29 bushels per acre, the aggre­
gate crop of the State would be not 244,000,000
bushels, as the “ Republic” makes it, but actually over
286.000.000 bushels. We are obliged to confess, how­
ever, that we know of no official standard, and we
think the Agricultural Department would be the first
to repudiate the suggestion that it had set up such a
standard. That either the “ Republic’s ” method or
its figures are erroneous is evident from the fact that this
method and these figures give it a crop for the whole
country of only 1,800 million bushels. No one
has claimed that the crop is as small as this, nor has
any one but our contemporary suggested that the Agri­
cultural Bureau report was capable of such an inter­
pretation.
Our own method is very easily explained. We will
take Missouri for purpeses of illustration. Tnat State
last year harvested 116,012,000 bushels of corn on an
area of 5,273,257 acres. The area planted to corn
the present year, as already shown, was 6,613,000,
being an increase of 25 per cent as compared with the
acreage on which the crop of 116,012,000 bushels was
raised last year. With this addition of one quarter to
the acreage, the crop the present year on the basis
of the same condition as in 1894 would be 145,015,000
bushels. But the condition last year was reported
only 70 while the present year it is reported 111. If
now a condition of 70 gives a crop of 145,015,000
bushels, a simple application of the rule of three will
show that a condition of 111 must give a crop of
roughly 229,900,000 bushels, which agrees with the
amount (229,849,000 bushels) reported iu our issue of
October 12. A like process has been used iu arriv­
ing at the results for the United States as a whole.
The acreage the present year is 82,304,000 acres, the
area harvested last year was only 62,582,269 acres,
thus giving an increase of 31^ per cont. As the crop
in 1894 was 1,212,770,000 bushels, this increase would
make the crop the present year 1,594,792,000 bushels,
supposing that the condition of the plant was the
same. Bat the condition in 1894 was only 64'2,

COTTON CONSUMPTION AN D OVERLAND
MOVEMENT TO NOVEMBER 1.

The gathering of the cotton crop has made very
rapid progress during October as a result of the favor­
able weather conditions prevailing, and marketing has
also been on a free scale, restricted however to some ex­
tent in the last ten days of the month owing to the
quite sharp decline in value. The movement has not
however been of as large volume as a year ago. Our
statements show that 1,722,122 bales have co ne into
sight through the ports, interior towns and the rail
movement overland, whereas in Octobsr of 1894 the
total reached 2,116,630 bales, in 1893 it was 1,637,555
bales and iu 1892 reached 1,465,067 bales. Tne aggre­
gate for the two months of 1895 is 2,264,516 bales,
against 2,780,333 bales for the like p ;riol a year ago
and 2,148,828 bales in 1893. Northern spinners have
taken 304,336 bales during the month, but their
total takings for the season to date exhibit a ccnsiderable decrease compared with last year, when low prices
induced them to stock up quite liberally.
OVERLAND MOVEMENT TO NOVEMBER 1.

The movement overland has been much less than in
October of 1894, the g ro ss shipments reaching only

The greaser part of the falling off this year is in the
movement via St. Loais, although the shipments via
Cincinnati have decreased appreciably, and there is a
noticeable loss via Cairo. The movement via Louis­

by adding to the above the stock remaining at that da*o

The sales all through the week, therefore, have been very
large and very continuous. Ou Wednesday evening, how­
ever, the feeling in Loudon was decidedly better and meet
people hoped for a slight recovery. But disquiet returned on
Thursday morning. Selling on an immense scale from Paris
began, and then there was equally large selling in London.

and in East Rand shares in Paris goes off on Monday next.
Some tim e ago East Rand shares said to am ount to about
100.00b in number were sold in Paris. They have been
adm itted to quotation and Monday has been appointed as a
special settling day. It is understood that they have been
sold a t prices ranging from 10 to 12’- ;. Therefore the am ount
due from Paris to London is somewhere between a million
and a million and a quarter sterling. The Barnato Bank was
brought o ut here a couple of months ago. I t was received
very unfavorably by the public. But there was a great apecuation on the Stock Exchange and the price of the tT shares

.VII other departm ents have been over shadowed by the
mining m arket. Scarcely anything has been doing either
here or on the Continental bourses, and prices generally have
given way. The political anxieties would account for some
f a ll; but the main cause undoubtedly is the apprehensions re ­
specting the m ining m arket. The American departm ent is
for the moment neglected like the others ; but there has been
no serious f a il ! indeed there is little inclination either to buy
or to sell. Mr. Hamilton Sm ith having examined the A na­
conda mine and verified all Mr. Hoggin'* statem ents, the pro

The Money M arket and F in an c ial S itu a tio n .—There
haa been considerable activity a t the Stock Exchange during
the week, doe in (tart to o m tinoed liquidation by foreign
holders and the shaking o a t of weak speculative interests in
stocks. The situation was taken advantage of by capitalists
to pick up good stocks a t low prices, and on Thursday the
tone of th e m arket was som ew hat changed. Largely because
of this fact.
The Kaffir m arkets abroad continue to be very much un­
settled. and the effect of these and th e sensitive political
situation are unfavorable to all class. ** of securities.
There was a break on Wednesday in electric stocks on the
P hiladelphia Exchange, and th a t event was given aa a reason
for the rapid decline of General Electric shares in this m ar­
ket to near the lowest price of the rea r.
The conditions in the foreign exchange m arket remain un­
changed. The supply of com m ercut bill* is very much
restricted, and on a limited dem and rates for exchange have
advanced during the week. It i» reported, however, that
cotton has begun to move more frerly and therefore a better
supply of bills may be looked for.
Progress ras been made this week w ith the trunk line
traffic agreem ent
Its adoption by all the Interested lines is
now considered certain, a i d its im portance Is not likelv to b*
over-estimated.
The money m arket is w ithout new features of interest.
The open m arket rates for call loans luring the w e e k on
stock and bond collateral, have ranged fro n *J to 3‘«f per
cent. To-day rata* on call wen* 2 to t}£ per cent. Prime
com mercial paper is quoted a t 4 ^ to 5 per cent.
The Baulk ot England weekly "tnteiuexn on Tours lay
showed an imrrwMe in bullion of £178,8171. and the percentage
of reserve u> ItaMilUea was 38*85 against 58 •07 last week: the
discount rate remains unchanged a t % per cent. The ilank of
France shows a decrease of i .TnO.OW) francs in gold and
25,380.000 franca in silver.
The New York C i t y CVariog-lIouae banks ia their statem ent
Of Oct. 30 showed no increase ui the reserve held of 8»l.8iM)
and a surplus over the requimd reserve of f 18,68V,700,

EPITOME.

Fhiiiay Nioht. November 1,1895.
General rain* have brought decided relief to the country
from the prolonged drought which has prevailed, but a much
greater downfall is needed in the Middle States at least.
Wheat declined under better prospects for the fall seeding,
and cotton advanced smartly on the continued small move­
ment of the crop, but yesterday the “ war cloud in Eu­
ro.*', aiising from the strained diplomatic relations of the
great Pow ers, as r* ported bv cable, and the effect of these re­
ports upon the leading markets abroad, caused a sharp decline
in cotton and some recovery in wheat. An earthquake was
felt in the Northern States on Thursday morning. It appears
to have done no injury, but the occupants of the tall
buih’irgs in Chicago were somewhat alarmed. Generally
trade is very fair, hut profits are small. To day was a holiday
at New Orleans.
\ moderate amount of business has been transacted in lard
on the spot, but offerings have been fairly liberal and prices
have declined, closing at 5*85c. for prime Western, 5*60c. for
prime City and 0’35c. for refined for the Continent. There
has been no trading in the local market for lard futures, and
prices have weakened slightly with the West and under a
continued liberal movement of swine in the interior, closing
dull.

C o a st­

The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this m arket
for the week under review has been quite active and values
m ade a rapid advance—not, however, w ithout some sharp
fluctuations. The close shows advance for the week of 83 to
85 points for the active months. On Saturday there was a
•lig h t decline id values, bat on Monday slightly higher fu­
tures in Liverpool, with a more active spot m arket there, to­
gether with liberal buying orders from the South and from
Chicago, caused a buoyant market. On Tuesday the opening
was buoyant again, in response to a sharp advance in Liver­
pool, better reports from Manchester and a small crop move­
m ent, But the highest figures of th a t day being 35
points above the d o te on Saturday last led some
of the bull party to think the rise bad been too
rapid, and, under free selling to realize, together wtth
fuller offerings of cotton for early arrival from interior
towns, caused the loss of p art of the advance. On Wednes­
day there was renewed buoyancy in response to a much
better m arket in Liverpool, the large sprit business there
being a leading feature, and at one tim e price* were 17'glU
point* higher: hut the demand fell off, and under *ome sell ing to realize, due to fuller interior neelpl*. prices receded,
and the close was only 11@!3 points dearer. Yesterday a
•'w ar scare** from Europe broke down the Ltverpo I rn . rket,
and we followed suit to the extent of 13t§17 points,
but tbe coo tinned small ctop movement, to which a
frost report was added in the last hour, caused the recovery of
most of tbe earlv decline. To-day an early advance in" re­
sponse to a partial recovery in Liverpool was aoon lost under
free selling to realise under estimate* of an increased crop 1
movement for neat week, and afte r the noon call price* fur- j
ther gave way. Tbe close was steady a t 5*39 points decline I
for the day. Cotton on tbe spot, notw ithstanding the consid­
erable accum ulation of stocks, was very sparingly offered. !
and mice* rapidly advanced early in the week,and on Wrdnes- 1
day had risen to 9c. for middling uplands, and the close to-day ;
was quiet at this figure.
The total sale* for forw ard delivery fo r the week are 1,5^4,81.0
bales. For imm ediate delivery the total sales foot up this wee! |
1,947 bales, including —— for export, 3,947 for conxumptior I
— for speculation and 5.000 on contract. The following ar

Crop prospects in nearly aU districts continue satisfactory, and if
the weather henceforth is as f avorable as it has been of late, a good
deal more cotton will be available for export in the coming season
than of late years. Picking of the early-sown and irrigated Bengals
has already commenced, but the bulk of the crop is showing bolls
rapidly ripening. In Berar and Khandeish the plants are in flower and
bolls appearing, and unloss heavy rain falls both Bengals—which
promised at one time to be a late crop—and Oomras will be marketed
earlier than of late years. Broach and Dholleras are flourishing,
especially the former, but more rain would do a great deal of good to
the latter.

THE CHRONICLE.

Speculation in the market for Indian corn futures has
been quiet, and early in the week prices declined, particu­
larly f"r the ri. nr-liy deliveries, owing to the settlement of
t b e ‘*short" interest in October contracts and in sympathy
with the weakness in wheat; but subsequently predictions of
a decrease in the crop movement caused a slight recovery.
The s[H)t market has been quiet and prices have weakened
with futures. The sales yesterday included No. 2 mixed at
delivered and No. 2 white at 87c. in elevator. To day
the market was weaker in sympathy with the decline in
wheat. The spot market was steady. The sales included
No. ■_> mixed at 38c. delivered and 2^@2Wo, over November
f. o. b. afloat; also No. 2 white at 87c. in elevator and yellow
at 88.4 c. delivered.

F oreign Dry Goods. —There has been a quiet market in
this department. Seasonable requirement are small and
orders light for general assortments. In spring business the
demand is of fair extent in dre=s goods, silks, ribbons and
linens, and prices generally firm.

N e w Y o r k , F r id a y , P. M.. November 1, 1895.

There has been little material change in the market for
cotton goods this week.
I he demand has been restricted in
seasonable goods and staples to immediate requirements and
orders have consequently been for limited quantities only
both on the Bpot and through the mails. The firmness of the
m a r k e t in face of the slow business passing lias been conspic
uous b p o t prices are supported by the limited extent of
supphes a vadable for quick delivery whilst sellers have bien
re-established in their conservatism with regard to
business for fu ure delivery of staples by the renerved strength of the market for raw material
Southern mannfaciiyers generally adh-red to their

dull and several failures of cloak houses during the past
week have been a disagreeable feature. The failure of RamCo' J°bbers* Louisville, Kv„ with liabilities
