wholly by surprise. During the early summer months,
while the prospects were favorable for j
another crop reaching and even exceeding 7 million bales,
j
Mr. Ranger made very heavy short sales.
Prices were ■
then low, but with such a large new supply from America
j
it was thought that even a much lower range of values j
would prevail.
j
Gradually, however, the reports of the weather in the j
South became less favorable, as a drought which began |
in July continued uninterrupted in many sections until it
was widely stated
that decided harm had been done to
the cotton plant.
For a long time, in Liverpool especially,
these reports were made light of, the prevailing opinion
being that as cotton was a dry-weather plant, the drought j
our

would break before much harm could be done.

It is believed that the few large and rich Liverpool
brokers who engross the greater part of the future business,

in general covered themselves, when the failure of their

principal appeared unavoidable, but this can only have
been done at the expense of the smaller firms, and very
likely there will be disappointment as to the fulfilment of
many of such contracts.
Moreover, as futures were always lower at Liverpool than here, and at times considerably so, many purchases were made in that market against
sales here.
For this reason Manchester spinners may failto get the cotton they have contracted for, and therefore
incur losses on sales of yarns covered, as
they supposed,
by such purchases of futures, and actual cotton 'will have

Besides, it was argued that bad trade, large stocks not
only of the raw material but chiefly of the manufactured
articles, with larger supplies of cotton promised this season
from other countries, could not fail to counteract the effect
of a reduced yield in America, and that the early large
receipts of new cotton, notwithstanding the shorter crop,
might even lead to lower rates. This opinion received
further strength from the reasonable expectation that

trade in cotton goods has been
quiet during the month in the more important markets of
the country.
The demand for plain and colored cottons
has lacked animation, although some brands of heavy
brown sheetings and drills have a firmer look.
The re*
cent dulness has caused some accumulation in stocks of
nearly all cotton fabrics, but probably not to the same
extent as a year ago.
Prices remain steady for the most
desirable goods. Print cloths were quite active in the
early part of the month, but subsequently became quiet.
The stocks of print cloths in the hands of manufacturers
and speculators on Oct. 27 reached 656,000 pieces, against
916,000 pieces at the same time last year, and 956,000
pieces on the corresponding date in 1881. We give below

Evidently there is a want of confidence, and cheap
money is for the present without any powerful influence. The
startling revelations in connection with the frauds upon the

institutions whose officers have been driven to
pursue a similar
course of
irregularity. In London itself there is no great ap.
prehension, but “outer London” is a large district, and the
provincial mind is a great power. Fortunately, the truth is
quickly disseminated, and before very long not much will be

Canada, arising out of the financial and commercial diffiulties

exceptional, but the fall in the New York Exchange to gold¬
shipping point leads to the conclusion that some moderate
sums of gold may be remitted from this market, during the
next few weeks.

principal feature in the wheat trade has been that a
apparent on the Continent, and that prices are
higher there than they are here. We have such large supplies
to deal with in this country that any effect has not yet been
produced ; but a firmer trade for good and fine qualities is
expected before long. The weather has been wet and boister¬
ous during the wreek, and agricultural work has been impeded.
There is, I understand, a great scarcity of hempseed. The
Continental crops have proved a failure, and the price is
advancing rapidly.

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—The sig¬
nificance of the large cotton failure in Liverpool in the past
week lies in the fact that it was caused by an advance in prices.
It is. therefore, an incident of the same character as the up¬
ward re-action in the New York stock market two weeks ago,
and all goes to prove that short sales, if carried too far, con¬

point in the
scale of prices beyond.which even this kind of transaction can¬
not permanently depress quotations.
The upward re-action in
cotton has been largely influenced b}r the expectation of a* de¬
ficiency in this year's crop, but similar results on prices may be

risky operation, and that there is

a

natural result of this, of a gradual restoration of confi¬

dence.
The

grea/FTmlk of the failures in the last year have been
decline of prices. But if now there should be
a change for the better in this respect, mercantile credit would
improve and a more act ive business result. The continued de¬
caused by'the

cline in the values of all articles has no doubt also, to someextent. influenced the holding of a large part of the demand for
them in abeyance, await mg the lowest prices. When it appears
certain that these lowest prices have been touched, this re¬

strained demand will

come

upon

the markets and make

The money market shows no signs of working more closely
yet. About the first of the week there was some appearance
of a diminishing supply of money on call, but it was incident
to the fact that funds were held a little more closely for a day
or two. preparatory to the.payment of November interest on a
large amount of corporate bonds and also of city bonds, but
by Friday the supply was large again and it was olfered on
call loans on stocks at 2'7 per cent.
At this time last year the
rates were as high as 12 per cent.

For the present the interests of
the road are in the hands of Robert Forsyth and O. L. Lyford.
Mr. Mackey is the President of the Evansville and Terre

stockholders because he persisted in so running things as to inure

Cincinnati
Indianapolis St. Louis & Chicago.—At
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 29, the stockholders held their annual
meeting and re-elected the old board of directors, with the
exception of Gen. Devereux, who was replaced by Mr. Joseph
S. Fay. The directors re-elected M. E. Ingalls President and
E. F. Osborne Secretary and Treasurer.
After the election was
disposed of, President Ingalls made a brief address to the
directors, stating what improvements were still needed on the
road, and it was voted unanimously to pass all dividends until
these improvements were made and the floating debt paid.
This President Ingalls thought could certainly be accomplished
in eighteen months.

finished loading aud would have cleared on the 24tli, but will very
likely be detained a week or ten days. The damaged cotton was
sold by auction on the 26th, vjz : 19 bales at $30 per bale, 37 bales

Flour has been in the main

quiet, largely owing to the rather
assortment offering, the supply of the desirable grades of
both spring and winter brands being reduced to quite a mode¬
rate quantity.
Even the lower grades, such as are usually
taken for export, are now in limited supply. The common to
good winter wheat clears have been, for an exception, more
plentiful, bat have not met with much demand. To-day the
market was dull and depressed.
Wheat has been about steady on the spot, but has advanced
one cent for future delivery.
The export trade has reached
only a fair aggregate, but at times the speculative sales have
been large, notably last Tuesday, when, under the influence of
rumors of an impending rupture between Germany and Russia,
the shorts became so frightened that the transactions ran up to
over 12,000,000 bushels.
To-day the market was steady on the
spot, and a slight decline in options at the opening was soon
recovered. No. 1 red, which has been so scarce for several

'but silks and cashmeres (which were offered in considerable
quantities) failed to realize the cost of importation.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—1The exports of cotton goods for
the week were 3,742 packages, of which 2,392 were shipped to
Great Britain, 286 to Argentine Republic, 278 to China, 159 to
Brazil, 128 to United States of Colombia, 97 to Hayti, 91 to
Newfoundland, &c. The demand by jobbers, converters and
exporters was strictly moderate, and thg jobbing trade was
comparatively light. Stocks of plain and colored cottons are
still in pretty good shape, but some accumulation has naturally
taken place during the past month, owing to the limited de¬
mand. Prices are without quotable change, and generally
steady, save in the case of print cloths, which have receded to
3%c. for 64x64s and 3% for 56x60s, with fair transactions at
these figures. Prints ruled very quiet, and dealings in ging¬
hams and cotton dress goods were light and unimportant.
