But until that is accomplished, more or less uncertainty with regard to the future must prevail. So far as this week is con¬ cerned, the cutting in the East, in the West and in the South has been pursued with unparalleled bitterness. Here, our trunk-line difficulties have perhaps been most evident, because nearest to this centre ; but Western con¬ wars are nections have shown no less recklessness, while the contest between the c Erlanger system and the Louisville & Nash¬ ville connections has been prosecuted in an equally determined manner. Altogether, an observer might have said the early part of this week that our carrying arrangements were as near chaos, and the roads approaching general insolvency as rapidly, as it was comfortable for either them or the public to realize. And yet as stated, the week as it closes is not wanting in evidences, that order may speedily come out of this confusion, - that feeling being further encouraged by the settlement yesterday of the controversy in the West, be¬ tween Chicago and Missouri Liver points. Still a like belief has many times prevailed before, only to be followed by disappointment, for the wish, and the knowledge that sooner or later such is the inevitable end, encourage that hope. Now, however, there is a feeling also prevailing, that the managers who are engineering these contests may have a new incentive to quicken their efforts and sharpen their desires for settling their disputes. This is found in the improvement in the general situadon, the better traffic reports that are coming in, the freer arrivals of produce at the Western centres, the movement of a very large corn crop just beginning, the early close of our water-ways throwing all carrying business upon the rail¬ roads, and the opening of the New Orleans Exposition the middle indicate of or December; for these foreshadow the are all straws which direction which the current is about to take, since dearth of traffic, not abundance, times of distress, not of recovery, foster fights. But besides these general influences there are not want¬ ing other signs of an approaching end to the trunk line dispute. Evidences of weariness have become quite ob¬ vious in one at least of the contestants, and efforts at a compromise are generally believed to be in progress. Even exhaustion is hinted at, and if the bondholders are in control and mean to protect themselves, there can be little doubt of the urgency for a settlement. Whatever may be claimed as running of a new road, ferry and all, with limited connections, and still paying expenses at present rates, local and through, anyone with knowledge of railroad business must admit that it is impossible.

In fact we must go back to 1880 tu find a larger October conditions of: excess. This is very satisfactory under the currency—in fact it is quite essential in and yet such small imports are only an evidence of our commercial distress, the distress being itself made a necessity—a means to an end—just because we will persist in issuing silver and silver certificates and must therefore have gold with which to fortify our position. This statement looks as if we might draw further considerable sums from Europe and force the Bank of England rate up higher. The Bank certainly has no gold to lose, while its present 5 per cent minimum is doing very little towards replenishing its stock. But the Bank of France has a large reserve which is being freely used to supply current wants, the late demand for Egypt and the Greek loan having been in good part supplied from that country. < )ur trade in November ought, however, to show even better than October, for the movement of produce lias been fair, while the exports of cotton have been unusual in amount ; and in this we see the chief explana¬ tion of the easier rates for foreign exchange as the week closes. It was only the inquiry for the long bills for invest ment that gave the recent firmness to the market, the importers’ demand being very small, so that a further fall of rates and the resumption of specie imports seems quite likely. bVc notice'that the last mail advices from Europe represent the Austrian Finance Minister as very confident of success in his efforts to establish a gold basis for Austro-PIungary, and that he is intending to begin operations at once. Still it is not at all probable that any such that view; our THE CHRONICLE November 29, 1884. | could be successful before the spring or summer 593 months, for if made now the attempt might prove very disturbing, or at least put European finances in quite a against only^$42,942,000 on June 30, an augmentation of just 34- million dollars in the three months.

Strangely enough, the fact seemed to dawn on the street about the time of the general advance that the board of directors is classified that the majority of the present board would though it might represent a minority of the stock. Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, however, filed its report this week for the quarter ended September 30 with the Commissioners at Albany, and the same was made public yesterday morning. This report is interesting not only as it shows the extent of the road’s income in that quarter,but also because it indicates the amount of its floating and funded With reference to the income, the follow¬ indebtedness. ing are the gross and net earnings and the payments there¬ from, in comparison with the previous quarter—that ended June 30—and also in comparison with 1883. hold so !3 Months ended September ■ Net ’ * * expenses earnings from operations..... 1S34. j 1883. j 13,741,209 2,221,916 ! $4,540,239 2,470,527 j 1881. $3,538,378 $ 1,519,853 $2,003,712 ! $1,508,167 $135,000 853,743 111,206 $132,559 j j $135,000 $1,099,009 $1.007.261 j $1,037,205 $420,344 $1,050,451 I $470,902 Taxes Int. on Renta funded debt & on guar, stock s Remaining for stock * ' j June 30, I Gross earnings Operating months 30,! 3 ended Proportion for quarter. both particularly i 874,702 ! j . 2,030,211 791,993 110,272 terms is conditions and that the possible as the increase board may saw fit. So it be in part at least that account, the Lake Shore issuing its own bonds to obtain the necessary money to advance to the Youghiogheny on road, and holding the latter’s securities in its treasury for the time being. Then some part of the increase in the debt may be supposed to represent the conversion into a fixed form of a corresponding amount of floating debt, for we notice that the current liabilities now aggregate $4,405,090, including in this $877,117 of interest accrued but not yet due, against liabilities of $5,056,481 on June 30 without accrued interest. The position of the company as respects boating debt wTould therefore appear to be a comparatively easy one, for against the $4,405,090 of current liabilities, it has $1,505,900 of current accounts due it and $87,508 of cash, reducing the debt to about 2 millions J net. Pennsylvania $ statement for October is more unfavorable than any monthly exhibit issued since last January. It goes without saying that there was hardly anything favor¬ ing traffic and rates in this month, but it was hoped that a diminution in expenses would be effected which would go far to wipe out the loss in gross earnings. We find, how¬ ever, that the lines east of Pittsburg, on a decrease of $427,801 in gross receipts, had a decrease of only $134,. 353 in expenses, so that the net have suffered a contrac¬ tion of about $300,000—in exact figures, $293,448. It is only fair to say, though, that this is on figures of last year that were unusually large. On the lines west of Pittsburg the falling off is not quite so striking as heretofore, the decrease from 1883 being $137,30 0, but this is because these lines suffered a heavy loss in the previous year, the surplus then having dropped to $208,853 from $513,209 in 1882. Taking Eastern and Western lines together, there is a decrease of $430,814 as compared with 1883, and a decrease of $490,732 as compared with 18S2—very large for a single month in either case. How the present figures compare with previous years back to 1879, is shown in the following—for October and for the ten months to any bad quarters for railroad traffic, but the last was perhaps worse than the preceding, so much so that it has been repeatedly declared that the road had not earned fixed charges in that period.

That is perhaps a fair question from a silverman's standpoint; and yet even if we should admit the statements it contains, we cannot see that the necessity for action would be any less pressing. The idea is that capital^ knowing the natural effect of a forced inferior currency, fears the operation of the silver coinage law, and that that timidity is preventing enterprise. The fear is positive, unmistakable,—ask the first banker you meet, if you doubt it; the conclusion is our own, but equally undeniable, being based upon the known sensitiveness of capital. YTe see nothing in the question- then that makes Congressional action any less necessary as a preliminary to business revival, even if we should concur in its assumptions of The last week—what fact. • clear idea of the actual condition, suppose we admit for the moment that there is a large stock of gold in the country, but like Captain Kidd’s treasure it is hidden away somewhere out of sight/ out of reach,—of what use would that stock be as a reli¬ ance in case of need V Or, taking the situation more as we find it, say that a part of it is visible, but that no commer¬ cial distress, no lack of business activity, no want of any kind, however pressing, is able to bring any fraction of the other part into sight—of how much importance in this discussion would the portion of the stock be which is so effectually buried ? AVe may tickle our vanity and deceive ourselves by the frequent repetition of the larger figure, but the significant fact is that the country’s endurance when the trial comes, will be tested only by the available, not by the unavailable stock be it large or small.

Must we not under such circum¬ stances then, take the quantity in sight as quite near the extreme limit of our available supply for all commercial purposes ? And now what are the offices this 268 millions of gold are recjuired to fill. Let us recall them. (1) It must not THE November 29, 1834.J serve as a basis for local domestic transactions and CHROXtOLE 595 ensure THE ERIE'S REPORT. the convertibility of bank deposits in each neighborhood; thus of the 137^ millions held by the banks September 30, only about 74 millions were in New York, the balance being distributed as usual throughout the whole country, being needed for neighborhood purposes. (2) It is the basis for local Government transactions, a consid¬ erable portion of the Government stock being quite permanently held at depositories outside of New York city. (3) It serves as a perpetual assurance of the convertibility of 335 millions of bank-note circulation. (4) It is the guaranteeYund for the redemption of the 347 million legal tender notes. (5) Finally it is the fund to supply all the demands and purposes of our external commerce. Do not the above, suggesting such a little base for so big a superstructure, seem to furnish abundant explanation for the caution which capital now exhibits and for the lack of enterprise which everywhere prevails ? A nation with such large and varied uses for gold and so meagre a supply, that choses by violating one of the plainest laws of currency to endanger that supply, does.,not deserve pros¬ perity. But as there who are some cling with unfailing trust to the large stock of gold with which the Mint Bureau credits States, thinking it holds out a promise of relief in the hour of danger, and thus justify their advocacy of the silver dollar coinage, let us for a moment look at this ques¬ tion of invisible stock a little more critically. Mr. Burthe United chard's estimate of the total coin and bullion in the The publication of the report of the New York Lake Railroad Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, is significant as marking the close of Mr. Jewett’s connection with the property. As originally Erie & Western Mr. Jewett’s succession to the management was received with decided favor, and his continuance in power deemed auspicious for the company, so now his departure is regarded with positive satisfaction as indicating the dawn most of a better Not era for the concern. unnaturally Mr. Jewett takes occasion in this his last communication to the shareholders to review the work accomplished by him in the ten years during which undertaking, and directs attention to the many improvements in the con¬ dition of the property and plant that have been effected in this period. Most unquestionably the Erie is a better and stronger property than it was when the late President acceded to power. Moreover, from being^ comparatively local in its nature, it has risen into a trunk line of important dimensions, extending all the way to Chicago in the one direction and Cincinnati in the otherr and its business developed correspondingly. It does not de¬ tract from the merit of the work done that it involved heavy outlays of money and increase of indebtedness and charges. Mr. Jewett’s plans were large and comprehensive, and he is entitled to credit for having carried them out. At the same time it may fairly be doubted whether he he has been the head of the at country on October 1 this year and last year is as follows exercised that strict supervision of details in management (see page 18 report of 1884, and page 21 report of 1883). that is the essential to success. Among his immediate Oc‘ober 1, 1884 $610,500,000 subordinates, certainly, red tape and circumlocution in October 1, 1883 606,196,515 office to were more conspicuous than efficiency and attention work, and this would urally encourage was’e and departments. This, Mr. Jewett na *$4,303,485 extravagance in some could have corrected; this he failed to correct,. By referring to the table above, as to the gold in sight, Surrounded by a body of high-salaried officials, it will be seen that these estimates would leave in the reform in that direction was not attempted or hands of the people now $342,551,000, against $333,017,thought of. That was a weak point that might 000 a year ago, or an increase in the twelve months of 9£ remain covered up so long as business and everything else millions. Such a result, if it could be relied upon, would was flourishing, but was sure to develop the moment a of course place the country in a very comfortable situation change of conditions made economy and practical capacity respecting its gold reserve. Say there are about ten the true test. Mr. Jewett’s ability to build up a system million families in the United States, this stock (610£ has been demonstrated ; his ability to work such system millions) affords sufficient for the visible supply, and leaves with best results cannot be admitted, and this no doubt on an average for each family thirty-four dollars, either marks the change between the present estimate of his ser¬ actively used by its members t.s currency or stored away vices and the former estimate. Or a gain during the in the house. the lips of The year mere of statement of the case brings to in active business life a positive rejection of the claim; for the facts (1) that literally no gold is met with in one’s daily business transactions and (2) that no accumulation takes place in banks and Treasury at a time when incomes are greatly shortened and when exchanges are very much reduced because of industrial inactivity, are abundantly sufficient evidence to stamp these estimates as utterly untrustworthy. In Great Britain where, according to the general belief, about the same amount is held, it is the common currency of the realm. So in France too, one receives it everywhere in his daily purchases. Here the receipt of gold as change is as surprising a rarity as a white blackbird. We had intended to pursue this branch of our inquiry further, giving data which would determine approximately the stock of gold now in the country. Lack of space compels us to stop thus abruptly and defer these matters every man until another week. In our article on “The Financial Situation” two weeks since, in referring to the year’s change in the stock of gold, we inadvertently used Mr. Eurchara’e result for gold coin instead of his figures covering coin and bullion* But whether ticulars is or not Mr. Jewett is deficient in these par¬ longer of any consequence.

Though a matter new executive has been selected be¬ qualities that Mr. Jewett is understood Mr. Jewett is supposed to have relin¬ quished control voluntarily, one reading his report cannot fail to notice that he is not entirely content with the course affairs have taken. At the very outset, after depicting the prospects in store for the road, he remarks : Whether or not this result will be realized, is simply a question of management,” conveying the idea that there is doubt on this point. In another part of his report, he takes pains to say : “ But like other systems, its character and efficiency can be destroyed by an unwise and inexperienced management much more rapidly than it was “built up.” We notice these manifestations of ill will only to remark that the reflections upon the new manage¬ ment seem both unwarranted and unfounded. Mr. King, we believe, cannot be charged with either unwisdom or inexperience, and there is no reason to anticipate any dancause “ “ “ “ THE CHRONICLE. 596 [Vol. XXXIX If lie should exercise a and $1,401,004 from a decrease in business.

But we do not think miscellaneous receipts, so that the" total loss iij earnings cm that he contemplates such a course. We should regard the Erie proper for the year was $2,970,505, which was met any such attempt as very unwise. Even where leases or by a reduction in expenses of $1,509,362, leaving the loss connecting lines are proving burdensome, it would seem in net earnings $1,470,233.

It consists, as all know, of four divisions, the Erie 69-52 per cent, and even on the Erie proper as high as proper, the Pennsylvania & Ohio, the Cincinnati Hamilton GST per cent (against 65-92 per cent in 1882-3).

Now let us see what the Erie was able to do for its security holders in a very bad year. That the 12 months ended September 30 did constitute a very bad year hardly needs to be proven. Yet a few figures in illustration will serve to give force to the remark. The unfavorable features were depressed business, demoralization of trunk line traffic, low rates, and unsatisfactory state of the coal trade. The depression in business (resulting in a diminution of merchandise traffic) was the most important of these, and yet the contraction in rates was a factor of hardly less moment. The report furnishes the. figures that enable us an to state the loss from each circumstance. Thus out of a decrease of $2,357,701 in the traffic, $1,701,527 and was earnings from merchandise due to a falling off in tonnage, $506,267 to the fall in rates. loss is wholly Total Balance In the coal traffic, the 2,450,110 2,122.582 2,185,324 2,207,518 2,078,647 7,055,000) 0,068 07S 0,5)1,693 0,416,263 6,042,520 dl. 00.',623 1,265,485 0586,042 ~1, 887,418 1,700,621 Lets— i Sink.f’d Interest re-org’n.ist lien 100,000. incomes 5U.4-0 on Dividend more. involved the Erie in the late fiscal year. seem Rentals & either int.,&e. on prof, stock 488,088' Surplus Funded debt 016,017; 75,268,485 75,2..7,137' 103.000 30, ISO 30,480 485,028 464,340 551,184 -1,392,QOS 1,790,621 70,267,138 07,165,666 67,173,715 * Including 08 pur cpnt, of the earnings and the entiie working expenses of lh‘- New Ynik Pehn.sylvan in & Ohio road lur live ifionths in 1582-83, and for full year in 1883-4. t Including a full year's allowance for interest on the second consols. li is evident from the above that the company has lost heavily in net income, not only as compared with last year, but as compared with other recent years. Yet notwith. standing this loss (amounting to nearly two million dollars net) the company has fallen only $698,623 short of meet¬ ing the interest on the second consolidated bonds in full, illustrating the strength of the road’s position in the past. To put it in another way, in a year of extraordinarily unfavorable circumstances the company Jias been able to earn nearly 4 per cent on these second consols. The deficit shown proves to be just what Mr. Jewett estimated it would be in the latter part of October. "We were led to suppose at the time that he had omitted to make any allow¬ ance for decreased earnings in September, but it appears now that there was a gain of over $200,000 in miscella¬ neous income, which in the absence of anv figures on that had to assume the same as in the previous year. This gain in miscellaneous income was derived almost solely from the item of k; interest on securities held.” It is proper here to say that the deficit for the year would be even smaller were it not that the company has charged against the year’s accounts $135,037 paid the New York Pennsylvania & Ohio in adjustment of earnings and expen¬ ses for the previous year. This, if left out, would reduce point we of rates. The company received 205,501 tons less coal for transportation than in the previous year, but as the average haul was greater, the tonnage mileage increased 35,688,021 ton miles, and this would have given it a gain of $270,522 in earnings on the deficit to $563,586. On the other hand the report, as this traffic, except that lower rates caused a reduction in already remarked, says nothing of the extent of the contri* receipts of $571,712, or $301,100 more than the augmented but ion required to meet the interest on the first mortgage traffic mileage could offset. Taking coal and merchandise Chicago & Atlantic bonds, for which the company is in together, we find a total loss in freight earnings of large part responsible. But supposing it had to advance $2,658,084, of which $1,167,080 resulted from lower rates the whole year’s charge on these bonds—$390.000—the on account November 29, 3 per CHRONICLE, 597 the second consols would reach only about Canadian demand for gold have had a good effect upon the Stock Exchange; but the improvement lias not been suffi¬ cent (instead of 2) ; that is, there would still remain ciently established to justify any material extension of busi¬ cent earned on these bonds. ness.

The only withdrawals since ourlast have been £95,090 sovereigns from the Bank for Lisbon, Monte \ idee and Egypt. The arrivals comprise £25,000 from New Zealand, £11,009 from River Plate, and about £35,000, chiefly from Holland. The Tagus has tuken £70,000 to Lisbon and the River Plate, the Tasmania £99,00u, in coin, to Egypt. Silver.—The market has daily declined since our last circular of the 6th inst. We then quoted ,'oqd. per oz. standard, but under the influ¬ ence of considerably lower exchanges from India, and the consequent decline in the rates at which tho Indian Council drafts and transfers have lately been sold, the price of bars has fallen t >-day to 4913ihd.f at which the amount by the Neva has been placed as an exceptional oper¬ ation. The Don has brought from the West Indies £22,0 0, the Neva has brought from the River Plato £66,900 and the G-rmanic has brought from New York £10,009, making a total of £128,900.

(For the year ending September 30, 1884.) The annual meeting of the New York Lake Erie Sc Western Railroad Company was held in New York on Tuesday, Nov. 25, and marked the beginning of a new era in its history. The change in management, which is practically complete, although four members of the former board were re-elected, assures changes in policy where they will be beneficial to the property. A large pecuniary saving has been already begun in the heavy reductions in the executive and clerical forces, and one of the directors remarked that the expense of the executive department had already been reduced 30 to 50 ]per cent. There was only one ticket offered at the meeting. The total vote was 720,750, made up of 409,870 stock and 250,880 bonds. Of this, it was reported that Mr. King voted proxies for $25,000,000 stocks and bonds, Mr. McCullough $38,000,000, I. & S. Wormser $7,500,000, R. Suydam Grant $2,000,000, and Drexel, Morgan Sc Co., $2,000,000. The directors elected are John King, William Wliitewright, J. G. McCullough, Ogden Mills, William A. Wlieelock, James A. Raynor, William B. Dinsinore, William Libbey, George M. Groves, William L. Strong, J. Lowber Welsh, Henry H. Cook, George W. Quintard, Cortlandt Parker, James J. Goodwin, William N. Gilchrist and Jacob Hays. All are new members except¬ ing Messrs. Strong, Welsh, Parker and Goodwin. The board was subsequently organized by the election of Mr. John King as President, and the President is now Chairman of the Execu¬ tive Committee. Of the subordinate officers, E. S. Bowen was re-elected Vice-President and A. R. McDonough Secretary. Charles G. Lincoln was made Treasurer in the place of Bird W. Spencer. The resignation of Charles G. Barber, one of the two assistants to the President, who has been cannected with the company since Mr. Jewett’s first election, was accepted, but the vacancy was not filled. No one was chosen to succeed Vice-President George R. Blanchard, whose resign nation went into effect on Tuesday. The office of Assistant Secretary was abolished, at least temporarily.

It was acknowledged, however, that in the then con¬ dition of tlie road and property of the company, it would not be able to meet the charges thus imposed upon it, and at the provide for its further extension and improvement, particularly in times of depression in business and of active competition therefor between the railroads. Hence, in view of such contingency, it was provided in the second consolidated mortgage and bond that ‘ in case default in the payment of interest shall be made and shall continue same time “ until on interest eacli of six successive due dates of coupons some the bonds secured hereby shall be in default,’ no on proceedings to enforce the same or its provisions upon the company can be instituted until after such continued failure to pay such interest. The very state of facts contemplated by these provisions existed on the 1st of Jiwie last, when the interest upon the bonds secured by this mortgage matured, and in view of all the facts and circumstances, it was deemed wise by the board of directors to avail itself of this provision of the mortgage and to postpone the payment of the interest due thereon at “ that date.” * * * CAR TRUSTS. Mr. Jewett remarks of the car trust policy that the result of it is “ that in 1884, instead of paying out $316,797 for cars (as in 1879) in which it had no ownership, and over which it had control, it has received in excess of its payments to other companies for the use of their cars, $59,982 for the service of its own cars upon their roads, thus making a saving to the com¬ pany on that account of $376,779. This saving is more than the interest upon the entire car trusts for 1834, which interest is being reduced from year to year as the car trusts are paid off. When paid off, the cars and engines covered thereby will belong to the company.” The condition of the various car trusts will appear in the following statement. From 1878 to 1884 inclusive, there was paid for principal $5,158,545 and for interest $1,649,851. There is yet due on the principal of ear trusts $5,660,000, running up to May, 1S92, and payable in fiscal years as follows: no Dec. $1,164,8 i 1 Fiscal Years. 1885 1886 1837 1888 1880 1890 1891 1802 Sur. $1,265,435 Inc. $1,961,107 Total.

Before the bonds were really prepared for the market, negotiations were entered upon with different parties for their disposition, during the pendency of which the firm of Grant & Ward made application for the purchase of the entire issue of bonds, offering ninety per cent therefor, which price was fifteen per cent above that suggested by any other party or parties. That firm was then in good standing, and was engaged in large financial transactions with other railroad companies and financial institutions of the highest repute in the country. One condition of the negotiations with them, however, was that the bonds should be listed upo i the Stock Exchange, for which purpose application was made; but after considerable discussion on the part of the committee of the Stock Exchange having the subject in charge, the application was rejected because of a defect in the engraving of the bonds. This involved a re-engraving of the bonds which necessitated a delay of some Weeks. In the meantime the business of the country and the relations between the railroad companies, instead of improving as hoped for, became more and more depressed and the competition between the roads more active and with reduced rates of transportation. The advances to the Chicago & Atlantic Railway had been made by your to company. “ Locomotives 605 1080-81. 1881-82. 514 405 50 h 1882-83. *504 4-55 *013 20,09 L 20,200 2,080 *25,040 24,887 *12,309 12,193 Pass.,mail A exp.cars Freight ears Coal and other ears.. * Tn 1883 and in 1384 3,218 including all N.Y. 1SS3-84. *805 0L6 Pa. & Ohio equipment except locomotives, including locomotives also.

EPITOME7 Friday Night, Nov. 23, 1884. The intervention this week of a close holiday (Thanksgiving) has had its usual effect upon trade, the although cold weather has not been without its natural effect in improving some branches of business. Reduction, of wages and the curtail¬ ment of production in manufactures and mining have made further progress, and there can be no doubt that the new year will open on a plane very favorable to a substantial revival of industry and commerce. The reduction in wages is attended with a reduced cost of living, and reduced cost of production promises not only revived trade, but an extension of its field. The speculation in lard futures was much depressed early in comparatively small number of swine mar¬ keted at the West, and a firmer feeling in corn, caused a re-action toward better prices on Wednesday. To-day the market was again weak, closing at 7*14@7*lGc. for the next three months and 7*24c. for February, with the later deliveries nominal. Spot lard has been less active, and closes at 7’10c. for prime city, 7*30(a.7*35c. for prime Western and 7\>0@7*55c. for refined for the Continent.

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 of the weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop which finally reaches the market through the outports.

Conse¬ quently speculative influences, which at times are found a potent, have very little effect just now. The export and mill¬ ing demands have been very fair, and choice reds have advanced. To-day the opening was weak, owing to the posting” of a few loads as unsound, and the regular trade was dull, owing in part to the scarcity and high rates of ocean freights, but futures recovered at the close. 10,725,100 bush. < 6 2.579,405 7 (» 107,98 L Harley Pyo 40,150,874 5,078,053* 5,873,3 40 Wheat’ ’orn Oats Total grain F RICES OF NO.

Indigo blue flannels were in moderate request, but prices for the lower grades favor the buyer. Ladies cloths, tricots and Jersey cloths were taken in small parcels to a fair amount, but cloakings were mostly quiet. Satinets met with moderate sales, but Kentucky jeans and doeskins ruled very quiet, and there was a light movement in flannels and blankets from agents’ hands, but shawls continued dull. Fancy all-wool and worsted dress goods were in steady, but limited request, and plain worsted dress fabrics were generally quiet.
