plan which has been received with some favor
is that of stopping the issue of bonds having, like our
five-twenties and ten-forties, a double term of maturity.
These bonds, we are told, are very unpopular in Europe,
and especially in England. This unpopularity, as every¬
body knows, will be an insurmountable obstacle in the
way of a rapid extension of the English demand.

Mr. Chase is responsible for the double-option prin¬

gold speculation was firm, but the changes were confined to
an exceedingly narrow range, the two extremes of the price
having been 109$ and 110f, with business the greater portion of
the time at 110 to 110$. The Treasury sold only $2,500,000 gold,
while the customs receipts aggregated nearly that sum each
week. On the 25th inst. the Treasury began the prepayment,
without rebate, of the November interest, but the same came out
very slowly, and had no influence on the price of gold, which
continued at 110@110$. Efforts were made to get up a “corner”
in cash gold and “ squeeze ” the shorts, many of whom are mer¬
chants who expect a lower premium, but nothing important has
thus far resulted from the movement. The highest rate paid for
the use of cash gold was 1-16 of one per cent per diem, but this
was exceptional, and the great bulk of business was at 3 to 7 per
cent per annum.
The speculators, however, have not yet relin¬
quished their hold upon the market, and higher rates are not
improbable in the early future.

Exchange was firm and higher at the opening, the highest
having been made on the 6th inst., when the leading hank
ers asked 4.86 for long and 4.89 for demand bills.
This was due
to the stringency in money at London, the failures among ship
pers of petroleum and produce, and the small supply of cotton
bills offering. When the latter increased, and the demand for
exchange was lacking, rates declined to 4.84 and 4.87$, but there
was an improvement of half a cent on these rates at the close.

Put on 200 shares of C. C. & I. C. at '12#, which cost him $212 50. On Sept.
3 his contract was closed at 8, realizing $925. He then secured a Call on 800
shares of the same stock at 10#, which he closed on the 24th inst., at 14#,
realizing $3,200, less commissions, at the same time securing a Spread on 1,000
shares at 13# and 15#, on which he will no doubt realize handsomely before
the expiration of his contract. This customer was induced to operate in this
stock from having had his attention called to it personally and by an article in
“The Week’s Doings in Wall Street,” published by Tumbridge & Co.,
New York. In the issue of this paper of Sept. 5, written while the Stock
was selling at 8, the advance was predicted,
and this prediction proved
entirely correct as the sequel shows. Parties desiring to operate in Stock

of Jersey City has been made public: May 1, 1871, the bonded
debt of the city was $7,496,072 32, less $80,000 bonds in sinking
fund, leaving an actual indebtedness of $7,410,6721 32. The bouded
debi Oct. 14, 1874. was $13,934 385, showing a net increase of
$6,523,712 68. The assets May 1, 1871, were $7,059,123 63. On
Oct. 1, 1874, they were $12,223,661 54, showing an increase of

One million tax receivable coupons mature each year, while
the annual taxes amount to over two and a half million dollars.
The State lias paid in cash two thirds of the interest on all new
funded bonds up to 1st January, 1874 ; but as nearly ninety per
cent :>f the tax receivable coupons go into the treasury as taxes,
the amount heretofore paid in cash is very small.
The real question to be considered by the creditor is the ability
and disposition of the State to continue the payment in cash of
cent per annum on the face of the new funded bonds
on the two-thirds of the unfunded bonds. The
commissioners of the State debt have not yet directed the pay¬
ment of that interest for July, 1874, as they do not consider tli3
cash now in the treasury and the accruing revenue sufficient. It
is apparent that an increased revenue must be provided to meet
four per
(“Pealers”), and
it, and the Legislature to assemble December, 1874, must meet
the question of an increase of the taxes or a practical repudia¬
portion of the debt not receivable for taxes.
& Great Western.—The United States Rolling
Stock Company has begun suit against this company at Akron,
O, to recover about $500,000, alleged to be due for rent of
equipment.
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.—This company lias refused
decidedly to become a party to the Saratoga Convention agree¬
ment for pooling through business.
The roads west of Chicago
are
reported to be in sympathy with the independent stand taken
by the Baltimore & Ohio Company.
Baltimore & Ohio.—The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (Chicago
Division) was opened for business from Chicago Junction, in
Ohio, -where it connects with the Lake Erie Division and Avilla,
Ind., to Chicago, Oct. 23. - This is a distance of 133 miles. The
remainder of the road was to be opened Nov. 10.
Boston Hartford & Erie.—The decision of Judge Shepleyin
the Boston Hartford and Erie Railroad case, last week, was on a
demurrer filed by the defence, and was against the demurrer. It
is now stated that General Butler, for the defence, will file an
answer, on which there will be a trial on the facts of the case.
Burlington & Southwestern.—In the foreclosure suit in
the United States Circuit Court, October 23, Judge Dillon ap¬
pointed Gen. N. P/ Baker receiver of this road.
The Court
instructed him to demand possession of the road from the
receiver appointed by the Iowa District Court in the suit of E. B.

1872, and the appointment of Mr. Peter II. Watson to be president
from the 9th July, 1872.
Our investigation has been directed to
the special object stated in your instructions to us, namely, “ To
inform the English bond and shareholders whether the accounts
published by the company are correct, and have been properly
kept since the present administration entered upon the manage¬
ment, and whether the expenses which, according to sound prin¬
ciples of railway management, nre chargeable against the earn¬
ings, have been so debited, and not carried to construction or
capital account, and whether the dividend* have been properly
earned.” The period embraced by our investigation is that from
the 30tli September, 1871, the date of the last accounts published
by the Jay Gould administration, to the 31st March, 1874, that
being the date up to which we found the books of the company
written up and balanced, and containing important matter having
reference to the period comprised by the published accounts, the
last of which were to the 30th September, 1873. The following
are the accounts published by the company since the appointment
of the new board of directors, on the 11th March, 1872, viz.:
1. The accounts for the period of nine months, from 30th Sept¬
ember, 1871, to 30tli June, 1872.
2. The statutory accounts for the year ending the 30th Septem¬
ber, 1872, as required by law and sworn to as approximately cor¬
rect by H. D. V. Pratt, superintendent, and S. H. Dunan, auditor.
3. The accounts for the period of nine months from 30th Sept¬
ember, 1872, to 30;li June, 1873.
4. The statutory accounts for the year ending 30th September,
1873, the same being sworn to as correct by S. H. Dunan, general
auditor, and J. C. Clarke, acting superintendent.
The accounts (Nos. 1 and 2) include the trausactions of the in¬
terval between the date of the last accounts published by the
Jay Gould administration and the appointment of the new board,
/. e from the 30th of September, 1871, to the lltli of March,
1872. The statutory accounts (Nos. 2 and 4) comprise together a
period of two years, and the other published accounts (Nos. 1 and
3) a period of 18 months, such 18 months being included in, and
forming a part of the two years' of the statutory accounts. We
have ascertained the foregoing accounts to be incorrect ; and we
now proceed to describe the inaccuracies disclosed by our investi¬
gation, and to show the effect of their correction on the profit and
loss account and balance sheet of the company, as on the 30th
September, 1873.
No. 1.—These accounts, which accompanied the report to the
shareholders, dated 9th July, 1872, signed by John A. Dix as
President, were, as stated in such report, made up partly of esti¬
mated results, and their subject-matter being comprised in the
statutory accounts for the year ending 30th September, 1872 (No.
2), we offer no further remarks upon them.

report of President Watson to the shareholders, dated 2d Septem¬
ber, 1873, and were for the period of nine months ending 30tli
June, 1873. Their subject matter is comprised in the statutory
accounts (No. 4) for the year ending 30th September, 1873. These
accounts comprise a profit and loss account, to the credit of which
the 30th September, 1872, is brought forward the balance
$2,816,708 reported on under No. 2. We find that from this
profit and loss account are omitted certain items proper to it, and
which are included in the succeeding statutory accounts ; the
effect of such omission being to overstate the apparent profit of
the period to the extent of $549,194.

'llie statement marked G in the appendix is a comparative
balance-sheet to the 30th September, 1872, setting out in parallel
columns the items forming the statement of liabilities and assets
as published, the same as shown by the books of the company,
and as corrected by the result of our investigation.
The subject matter of the statement of liabilities and assets
included in tbe published accounts to 30tli June, 1873, being
substantially incorporated in the balance sheet prepared by us to
the 30tli September, 1873, it has not been necessary to subject
ihat statement to separate and distinct examination and coras
.
lection.
Information elicited by our investigation, together with that
contained in the books, has enabled us to prepare the accom
panying balance sheet to the 30th September, 1873, in corroboration of the resnlts arrived at by us in relation to the profit and
loss account, which exhibits a net deficit of $2,331,392 30 at that
date, subject to the probable increase in respect of matters
previously referred to.
The balance sheet also presents a general view of tlie position
of the company as on the 30th September, 1873, according to the
books, and inclusive of our corrections ; but an authoritative
examination ai d determination of tbe many questions both of law
and fact which affect the nature, extent and value of its multi¬
farious liabilities and assets must be accomplished before a com¬
plete elucidation of its present financial position can be effected.
And for the purposes of such an examination much useful infor¬
mation accumulated in the course of our investigation—though
not bearing directly on the special object of it, as indicated by our
instructions—can he made available.
From the information acquired by us with respect to the item
of $8,229,234, the nominal amount of real estate and bonds and
shares in various companies recovered from Jay Gould, we are of
inion that the actual value of the recoveries will fall very far
sum stated.
The amount ultimately realized should
go to the credit of capital account.
The system of accounts requires amendment in many important
or
short of the
particulars, and should be remodelled.
The president and officers of the company in New York readily
gave us complete access to the books and documents under their
charge, and generally rendered us every facility for tbe prosecu¬
tion of the inquiry entrusted to us.

Indianapolis Bloomington & West.—A meeting of the first
of the Indianapolis Bloomington and West¬
ern Railroads, and of the Danville Urbana Bloomington & Pekin
Railroad, was held recently to take into consideration their in¬
terests., A committee was appointed by each class of bondholders
to make an investigation into the affairs of the roads, and to take
such action as would be for the best interests of the bondholders.
The following were appointed to act for the Indianapolis Bloom¬
ington and Western first mortgage bondholders: Frank Shepard
of Greenwich, Conn.; W. S. Wyckoff, G. A. Robertson of Hassler
& Co., Remington Vernam of No, 80 Broadway, and C. P. Wil¬
liams, Cashier of the National Albany Exchange Bank ; and the
following for the Danville Urbana Bloomington & Pekin bond¬
holders : J. P. Adriance of Poughkeepsie. J. B. Jewett, Austin
Corbin of No. 60 Broadway, C. H. Williams of No. 99 Nassau
street, and J. Aug. Johnson of No. 26 Exchange place.
At the meeting of second mortgage bondholders, a short time
since, in addition to the appointment of a committee, the fol¬
lowing resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, the position occupied by
the present trustees of the second mortgage bonds, of being largely interested
in the general debt of the company, renders a change of these officers emi¬
nently just and proper, and that the bondnolders, therefore, request the

submitted to arbitration.
The award is that the Chicago & Alton

but shall pay only that proportion, and not be compelled to pay
any minimum amount.
The road makes a Kansas City connec¬

between the 20th of September
Answer to First Question.—No frost in any of the 59 counties heard
from; consequently, no damage from this source.
Answer to Second Question.—Rains continued to be very general all over
the State from the 20tli of September to the 1st of October, doing considerable
damage by beating out tbe open cotton, thereby materially injuring the qual¬
ity (if not the quantity) of the staple. From the 1st to the 20th of October
the weather has been extremely favorable, both for picking and maturing the
growth of the plant.
Answer
to
Third
(Question —The proportion of the crop gathered la
variously estimated at from one half to three-fourths of the cotton now open,
and in some few localities it is reported
all picked out.” Our reports indi¬
all the counties heard from between the
cate that picking will be finished in
15th arid 30th of November—unless a very
late frost should allow the “top
crop” to mature, in which event picking will be
and
prolonged into December,
possibly January.
Answer to Fourth Question.—13 counties report an increased yield over
last year, but as these counties made almost an entire failure last season, it is
difficult to give the ratio of increase; 13 counties report a decrease of 10 to 25
cent; 6 counties report
the same as last
per cent; 19 counties report a decrease of 25 to 50 per
decrease of 50 to 75 per cent, while 8 counties report about

some that the yield will be mat rially increased by a “ top crop,” while others
contend that the bolls formed since the rains on plants that had stopped grow¬
ing and shed oft’ will not mature under the most favorable circumstances.
Nashville
Department.
Middle Tennessee east of the Tennessee River, and the
following Countits of AlabamaLauerdale, Franklin, Colbert, Lawrence,
Morgan, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, Jackson, DeKalb and Cherokee. The
report is prepared and issued by the Nashville Cotton Exchange through their
Committee on Statistics and Information, composed of Jonn F. Wheless,
Chairman; Tlios. B. Sample and Geo. J. Goodrich.
Tennessee.—The answers are condensed from 44 replies re¬
ceived from 18 counties of Middle Tennessee.
Answer to First Question.—11 report no damage; 19 report slight dam¬
age; 14 report serious damage. Those reporting slight or no damage general¬
ly add that it is because the second growth would not have made anything.
Answer to Second Question.—All report either favorable or very favorable "

weather for securing the crop.
Answer to Third Question.—1The average shows five eighths of the crop
picked at the time of reporting, "which would warrant the estimate that threefourths has been secured by this date; 26 report picking will be finished by
November 15; 15 report picking will be finished by December 1; 3 report pick¬
ing will be finished by December 15.
Answer to Fourth Question.—The average decrease reported is 50 per
cent, as against 46 per cent in last report.

Alabama.—The
answers are
condensed from 38 replies received
from 10 counties.
Answer to First Question.—10 report no damage; 15 report
age; 13 report serious damage.
Answer to Second Question.—All but one report favorable.
Answer to Third Question.—The average gives 62 per
tion of the crop picked, the average date being the 24th
slight dam
cent as the propor¬
inst., which would
justify an estimate of 70 per cent to this date. All but two estimate picking
will be completed between November 15 and December 1.
Answer to Fourth Question.—The average decrease is 40 per cent.

Port.—With the New Orleans
Price-Current of last Saturday, we have received a map accoin
panied with an editorial, indicating the important position New
Orleans holds as the natural distributing port for a very consid¬
erable portion cf the products of the United States.
The PriceCurrent as usual presents its case forcibly, showing what has
been and what it believes is to be. Railroad construction lias, of
•course, affected somewhat, and will always continue to affect this
question of transportation; but the recovery by New Orleans of
much of its old business, with an enlargement of its commerce in
other directions, is only a question of time. There has not been
muce the war a government in the State which inspired confi¬
dence in its stability, the necessary condition precedent to pro¬
gress. The logic of the late elections, however, points to a speedy
change, when the entire Southern people are to be left to govern
themselves ; and the moderation and self control they have shown
in Lousiana during the trials of the past few months give good
promise that the power will be used wisely. With that much
established, confidence will be restored capital will flow South¬
ward, and the development of that great gulf port will be a problerp of easy solution.

Shipments.—According to our cable dispatch received
to-day, there have been 5,030 ba'es shipped from Bombay to
Great Britain the past week and 3,000 bales to the Continent,
while the receipts at Bombay during the same time have been
5,000 bales. The movement since the 1st of January is as
follows. These are the figures of W. Nicol & Co., of Bombay,
and are brought down to Thursday, Nov. 5 :

Wheat has been
advancing in the past few days. On Wednes¬
day a pretty full business was done at $1 06@$1 08 for No. 2
Chicago and Northwest, and $1 09@$1 10 for No. 2 Milwaukee.
But yesterday the market was scarcely so firm, with sales of No.
2 Chicago at $1 0G, amber Ohio and Michigan at $1 20(a)$l 23,
and white at $1 36.
The failure of the premium on gold to make
the anticipated advance checked speculation. However, the
receipts at the West continue to fall off, and stocks show no
further important accumulation ; holders consequently exhibit
rather more confidence, as it is thought that the export demand
will probably increase rather than diminish.
To day, the market
was easier for spring and quiet, but winter prime,
with amber
Michigan, sold to arrive at $1 25.
Indian corn has continued unsettled, and the business quite
moderate. The supply of corn from the new crop has increasedj
and is of very fair quality, the sales yesterday embracing 26 car¬
loads, or about 10,000 bushels, at 82£@84Jc. For old Western
mixed th« leading prices of late have been 89c. in store,
90^9lc%
afloat, and 91@91|c. for early arrival. The Agricultural Bureau
estimates the crop for 1874 about the same as that of 1873, but it
must be remembered that a large part of the excessive crop of
1872 came to market with that of 1873.
To-day, the market was
aciive and higher, at 89(389|c. for prime mixed in store. 91@91|c.
afloat, and 92c. for the last half of November.

last. Canada
Barley has ruled
$1 25(g)l 27, and
Canada West at $1 47@1 48.
Among the business reported yes¬
terday was 40,000 bushels prime German barley to arrive, at
$1 50. To-day, the market was firm, but quiet.
Oats have been rather more steady and the trade fairly active,
at 60@Glc. for prime mixed, and G2|®G3c. for prime white.
To¬
day there was no decided change, but a rather firmer feeling.

export, the sales including 5,000 bbls extra State and Western, at
$4 95(35 05, and considerable lots from Winter wheat, at $5 25@
5 75. The receipts at the West have slightly fallen off, and the
supply st this market has been less liberal; and of these circum¬
stances, together with the advance in wheat, holders have been
disposed to take advantage. Rye flour has shown weakness, and
in corn meal there has been less doing.
