THE NEW RAILROAD COMBINATION
The sale by Mr. Vanderbilt of a
large interest, and

Central Railroad
(the facts in relation to which will be found on a subse¬
quent page) marks a new epoch in the history of railroad
property in this country. Of course, as an indepen¬
dent transaction in Central,
by a few bankers, American
and European, it would not be considered of
any
peculiar importance. It is the relation of the purchasers
\ to other roads and to the trade of the country that gives
( the operation its significance. And, in this
view, the
first impression of the public will
very likely be unfav¬
orable to the
new
combination.

acres of
strictly coal land has been acquired. The visitors
were twice taken over several portions of this vast estate, where

length, is
the property of the company, which is now the actual owners

Money market and Financial
Situation.—There
has been but one
topic in Wall street this week—the
great New
York Central & Hudson stock
sale.
Ever since the first
of a
pending negotia ion was made, a wreek since, there hasreport
been
much .acrimonious discussion
going on as to the dishonorable
conduct of those
parties who had circulated such a
mere
report as a
stock-jobbing rumor, but on Wednesday afternoon
the
market was astonished
by the positive
that the
bargain had been fully consummated. announcement
That the Wabash St.
Louis & Pacific
managers should desire to secure a b’oek of
New
York Central & Hudson stock
and seats in the board of
directors
was no
extraordinary thing ; nor was it at all remarkable that
with the present outlook
for railroad
property in this country,
a syndicate of
bankers should be
glad to take any quantity of
the stock at 120
; but that Mr. Win. H.
Vanderbilt
tarily part with his controlling interest in New would volun¬

Hudson stock, at
any price, would have been as little
credited a
few weeks ago as a
report that Mr. Astor was

reports of the negotiation
given in the newspapers on
Thursday,
w- re substantially
correct,
namely, that the syndicate purchase
outright $15,000,000 of the
stock at 120, of which 20
per cent is to be paid
the balance in
immediately, and
equal instalments of 20 per cent
on the first of
each month till all is
paid. The stock is to be delivered in
similar proportions as each
is made. There is an
option, understood to be for one payment
year, to take another $10,000,000
of the stock on the same
terms, and Mr. Vanderbilt

miscellaneous stocki.—The
course of the
feverish and unsettled until
Wednesday after¬
noon, when the tone became
very strong and has so continued
to-day. After the heavy break of last week
there was great
uncertainty as to the probable course of the
market, and there
was a good
deal of riscouragement on the
part of those who had
been jostled out of their stocks
by the manipulations of the few
heavy operators who had combined to depress
prices. But the
announcement made on
Wednesday
afternoon
of
the great trans¬
action in Central
stock, imparted fresh strength to a market
already advancing, and since then everything has been “ boom¬

again been in Erie,
which sold up to 44£-45 at the
close to-day on
very heavy pur¬
chases, and the conclusion is unavoidable that some
of the parties
to the late Central
negotiation are buyers—possibly Mr. Vander¬

notable change in the board was

Another advance is to be made in
the price of coal, and the
stocks are
strong in consequence. - The Wabash St. Louis &

I entered into a contract and

us a
perpetual control of the company and road for the consid¬

per cent interest upon said bonds

us, ready for operation, about November 1 next.
Twenty-four
miles of the track will be of steel and
thirty-three of iron rails,
all weighing 52 lbs.
per lineal yard. The road will have easy
grades and can be very cheaply operated and maintained. Our
company paid to other roads for the year ending June 30, 1879,
$29,491 as freight upon coal for its own uses, and a further sum
of $103,504 was collected
upon revenue coal carried over our
lines. The entire consumption can be
supplied from the coal to
be mined near What Cheer, and a
large sum thereby saved and
earned. The additional annual interest
charge because of this
57 miles of new road will be
$31,920, and, including that upon
the entire cost of the
Chicago Clinton & Western Railway prop¬
erty ($162,798), it will be $43,315.”

much confidence that the Gould

be completed to Wichita in a few

two roads will meet,
securing to the Atchison Topeka & Santa

by using the tracks of the Missouri
Pacific for a distance of thirty-seven miles—from Franklin to St.
Louis. It is also claimed that the

his large remaining interest, and will continue in the control
and management of the property. A general agency for the
New York Central Company will be opened in London with
Messrs. J. S. Morgan & Co., with a view to the payment of div¬
idends there at a fixed rate of exchange, transfers of stock, &c.
The London interest will be represented in the New York Cen¬
tral Board by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, who will immediately be
elected a director. The Wabash Railroad system, wTith which
the New York Central will, through the Lake Shore Road, nowcome into close alliance, is to be
represented in the New York

this was equal to 698,923 votes. The entire amount of stock

it would be better for New York city; and when I say that, I mean bet¬

pros¬
perity on the city, and the city needs the New York Central. A public
sentiment has been growing up opposed to the control of such a great
property by a single man or a single family. It says we rule by might.
We certainly have control of this
property by right. But no matter,
this public feeling exists. We are
charged with controlling legislatures;
with using our power in a manner injurious to the interests of this
great
city, as if it were not absurd to suppose that we could hope to better
ourselves by working against New York merchants. Another object:
There was an antagonistic railway interest which was
seeking alliances
in other directions. I believed it would be better, at the same
time, to
harmonize this interest with the New York Central, and all thus work
together in the interest of the city of New York.

glad to be relieved personally of the responsibility of the
means employed to protect such a great property as the New York Cen¬
tral. People have and might call me grasping, whatever the facts in the
-case, when to protect the New York Central, which was
piincipally my
property", I had to obtain'control of lines of railroad connecting the New
Y'ork Central with the 'West, such as the Lake Shore &
Michigan South¬
ern, the Canada Southern, and the Michigan Central. It was necessary
for me to make these roads a part of the New York Central
system to
prevent their passing under the control of a railway" combination w-liich
would have used them in a way" prejudicial to the New York Central’s
best interests. 1 knew that this combination was
negotiating for an
outlet for its system of railroads, either by way of the
Pennsylvania
Railroad to Philadelphia, or by wray of the Baltimore & Ohio to Balti¬

It was a choice between continuing the competition for Western
connections, and making^its members my friends. I thought it wise to

company west of
the Missouri River to Puget Sound shall be offered for sale to
actual settlers at the Government price of two dollars and a
half cash per acre, with an addition thereto of ten cents
per acre, to be paid to the company to re-imburse it for the cost
of selecting, surveying and conveying
said lands. This resolu¬
tion does not apply to coal or iron lands, nor to lands
valuable for timber, nor to lands required for town sites.

The exports this week under the head of “ other ports” include, from Balti¬
more, 3,167 bales to Liverpool; from Boston, 3,028 bales to Liverpool; from
Philadelphia, 2,736 bales to Liverpool; from Wilmington, 2,653 bales to Liver¬

From the foregoing statement it will be seen that, compared
with the corresponding week of last season, there is a decrease

-"JJT
The market has continued quiet
on the spot.
Indeed, it could
hardly have been otherwise, for there is as yet no accumulation
of stocks here, barely 50,000 bales
being reported, all told.
Quotations were advanced £c, on Tuesday and l-16c. on Wednes¬
day, but the lat er was only nominally maintained at the close of
business.
To-day there was a further advance of l-16c., mid¬
dling uplands being quoted at 12^c., with rather more doing.
'The speculation in futures lias been
only moderately active, as
compared with recent weeks, and yet has at times showed con¬
siderable spirit.
There was on Saturday a slight decline for the
early months, but the later months remained firm. Monday
showed towards the close some revival of
speculative confidence,
and the later months slightly advanced,
followed on Tuesday by
an advance of
30^40 hundredths, part of which was lost at the
close.
Wednesnay opened buoyantly, on stronger accounts from
Liverpool, which stimulated a demand to cover contracts ; but,
under sales to realize profits,
the early advance was not only lost,
but a slight decline was
finally accepted. To-day there was an
early advance of 15@20 hundredths, part of which was lost
at the close.
Yesterday (Thursday) was “ Thanksgiving”—a
close holiday, and the Cotton Exchange was not
open.

prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations.
Receipts at the out ports 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

Memphis, Tennessee.—Telegram
not rec-ived.
Mobile, Alabama.—The earlier part of the week the weather
was clear and
pleasant, but the latter portion has been rainy—
showery yesterday and a constant rain to-day (Friday), the rain¬
fall, however, being too small to measure. The thermometer
has averaged 54, the
highest being 75 and the lowest 33. Planters
are
sending their cotton to market freely.

Montgomery, Alabama.—Rain fell on two days the latter part
of the week and it is still
raining.
Rainfall twenty-three
hundredths.
Selma, Alabama.—We have^ had rain on three days the
past
week and it is now
raining. The balance of the week has been
pleasant. Planters are sending their cotton to market
freely.
Madison, Florida.—There has been no rainfall ar. this point
during the past week. The thermometer has averaged 53, with
an extreme
range of 25 to 81. About all the crop of this section
has now
been
secured, and two-thirds marketed.
Macon, Georgia.— Rain has fallen during the past week on one
day. The thermometer has ranged from 52 to 76, averaging
67.
Columbus, Georgia.—There had been no rainfall dur ng the
week up to last
(Thursday) night. The thermometer had aver¬
aged 54.
Savannah, Georgia.—We have had rain on one day, the rain¬
fall reaching two hundredths of an
inch, but the rest of the
week has been pleasant.
Average
thermometer
53, highest 74
and lowest 33.
Augusta, Georgia.—The weather during the week has been
and sultry, with indications of
rain, but we have had only
one sprinkle.
Picking is nearly completed in this section, and
about five-eighths of the
crop has been marketed, but planters
are now
holding on to their cotton. Crop accounts are less
favorable. Our correspondent states that the
top crop is a failure,
and the indications are that the
yield here will fall considerably
short of what was expected.
Average thermometer during the
week 49, highest 72 and lowest 27.
Charleston, South Carolina.—We have had light showers on
;wo days the
past week. The thermometer has averaged 51, the
highest being 66 and the lowest 30.

Comparative Port Receipts
Daily Crop Movement.—
and
A
comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate,
the weeks in different years
do not end on the same day of the
month.We have
consequently added to our other standirg
tables a daily and monthly
statement, that the reader may con¬
stantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
keeping the monthly totals separate, it will
be seen that we
have divided the week where
part of it is in one month and part in
another.
As, for instance, the first week of December ended
on the 6th ;
hence, under December, we
give only six days of
week, the remaining day, Nov. 30, as it
belongs to Novem¬
ber, being separately stated ; of course, to obtain the total for
the whole week, the two must be
added. In like manner the
that
first week of
January, ending on the 3d, is divided, four days
being assigned to December and three to January.

The

Brown and bleached cottons continue sold ahead in all

4%c. for 64x64s and 4%@4%c. for 56x60s. Prints were in better
request at both first and second hands, and several well-known
makes were advanced %c. per yard. For ginghams and cotton
dress goods there was a moderate inquiry, and prices ruled
firm with an upward tendency. Carpet warps and cotton
yams
continue active, firm, and in very light supply.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—There has been a moderate
degree
of activity in the market for woolen goods, and advanced
prices
were established on many fabrics,
owing to the continued appreci¬
ation of raw materials. Fair orders for spring cassimeres, cheviot s
and worsted coatings were placed with agents by the
clothing
trade, and large deliveries were made on account of former
orders. Heavy clothing woolens were somewhat sluggish, but
very firm, and there wras only a limited inquiry for overcoatings
and cloakings. Beavers were more sought for, but
cloakings
ruled quiet, and repellents were in moderate request. Ken¬
tucky jeans were in irregular demand, but firm, with a tendency
toward higher prices, and satinets were in fair request. Flan¬
nels and blankets were taken in moderate parcels to a liberal
aggregate amount, and advanced prices were established by
agents on several prominent makes. Stocks of flannels are
remarkably well in hand, many makes of colored goods, &c.,
being largely sold ahead. Shawls remained quiet, but there
was a Bteady movement in felt skirts.
Worsted dress goods
were fairly active for the time of year, and
prices are firm with
a decided upward tendency.
Foreign Dry Goods.—The demand for imported goods has
been comparatively light. Specialties in fancy dress goods
were in fair request, but staple fabrics ruled
quiet. Plain silks
remained sluggish, but there was a steady inquiry for small
lots of fancy dress silks, and black and colored satins, Pekin
satins, &c. Lace curtains were moderately active, as were holi¬
day handkerchiefs, but housekeeping linens and white goods
moved slowly. The auction rooms presented few offerings of
importance, and low and medium grade dress silks brought
very unsatisfactory prices when disposed of. at public sale.
