Portland, which last week presented

Springfield’s gain of 7*7 per cent has given place to a loss of

also broken down on the announcement of a redaction in
the passenger rate to Chicago to $12. Wednesday morning
the market opened at a very decided decline compared with
the close of Monday, the result of sharp raids, but an ad¬
vance followed soon aided by a covering of short contracts.
Thereafter during the day and on Thursday values were
somewhat influenced by political rumors. Also the an¬
nouncement that the New York Central had met the cut
of $12 by the West Shore, and a report from Philadelphia
that the Pennsylvania had made a reduction in rates (sub¬
sequently denied) had an unsettling effect upon all shares,
especially of course upon trunk line stocks. A continued
decrease in earnings shown by the Chicago & Northwestern
unfavorably affected that property, while the Could special¬
ties, including Union Pacific, sympathized with the general
tone and tendency. There was a rumor that the West Shore

that soon a point will be reached where the cost of opera¬

receivers’, certificates will have to be resorted to by the

For the present at least there is no

competition, low rates and gen¬
depression are shown in a marked degree.
In September, 1882, gross earnings were as much as
$3,170,315 ; nowin September, 1884, with mileage mate¬
rially increased, they are only $2,-199,271, or $071,044
less—a heavy decline in the short space of two years.
In
the same interval net have dropped to $1,333,976 from
$1,909,723. The figures for the nine months show equally
marked changes.
Gross earnings in that period this year
reached only $18,370,563, against $20,819,800 in 1883,
$21,972,764 in 1SS2, and $21,550,165 in 1S81 ; and net
only $7,832,839, against $10,156,426 in 18S3, $10,491,783
in 1882, and $9,719,241 in 1881.
’Thus the loss on the
net this year as compared with the previous year is
$2,323,587. It will be noticed that while the ratio of
expenses to earnings for the nine months was over 57 per
cent, in September it was less than 47 per cent.
Chicago Burlington &' Quincy presents a very favorable
showing of earnings for the month of September. We say
very favorable, for though there has been a considerable
decrease in gross, the expenses have been reduced in even
larger amount, with the result that net earnings are a trifle
above those of a year ago.
This gain in net is all the
more
gratifying, since it is made on a total last year of
heavy proportions, as will appear from the fact that the
amount then was above a million and a half, and showed
a
gain of $347,000 on the year 1882. Of course the fea¬
ture of greatest prominence in the statement is the reduc¬
tion in expenses, already referred to, for that offers the
promise that though business may .fall off, the company
can
offset the loss, wholly or in part, by increased
economy.
The falling off in gross in September, $202,055,
is large, and yet is no larger than might have been antici¬
pated, considering the reduced amount of grain tonnage
that the road must have had, and also the stagnation and
depression prevailing in general business. As wre have
before said, the Burlington & Quincy is the largest
corn

and its for¬
tunes fluctuate
somewhat with the varying yield of

It is to be noticed that
the
European investor does not
lack faith in our enterprises, as such,
lie recognizes the
undeveloped resources of the country, its marvellous
growth, ajid its constant and increasing need for internal
improvements of all description. He sees also that with
the development ever going on here, there is little risk of
ultimate loss to those undertaking to provide the necessary
capital, but rather opportunity for large and handsome
gain, if only honesty and fair-dealing are practiced in the
conduct and execution of the enterprises.
But fault is
found with the management, and the tendency it manifests
to ignore the plainest rights.of the investor, to disregard
his interests, and to treat him with positive lack of con¬
sideration.
Thus the difficulty is not with our measures
and enterprises, but with our men and methods, and. the
English investor is inclined to .-think that with his own
representatives in control, success could not fail to attend
Ills investments in the rich field of American enterprise.
This is not a new feeling; nor does it find expression

for the first time.
It has existed before; has found
voice not
only in meetings and resolutions, but in action
or another in the case of particular properties
in which interest centred for the time being, and has led
in several instances to a trial of the relative efficiency and
merit of English as compared with American management.

general conclusions from a few special instances; but it is
clear that English control in the past has not always
satisfactory than American. AAre might say
why the British public have suffered such
large losses from investments in our securities is that
in buying properties here they very frequently appear to
abandon the habits of prudence and caution practiced in
buying properties at home; they become imbued with the
spirit of speculation, and buy a stock or a bond not because
it has real merit but because it seems to offer good promise
of a large return and more than any fair remuneration for the
capital warrants. In other words, they are engaged in a
money making operation, pure and simple, and not in
seeking merely an investment.
But that is a subject we
need not discuss here.
Assuming that the responsibility
the
for
present state of affairs rests solely upon our mode
of management, the question is whether the substitution of
British control would bring about the desired improve¬

Chang said to the American Minister, John Russell Young,
that while China was resolved not to be intimidated, and
fight to the bitter end rather than comply with
France, China might be induced to
resume negotiations on the basis of the May convention,
if France showed an equal willingness.
To go back to the
May arrangement would imply a considerable concession
on the part of France ; and it is just
this that constitutes
the difficulty.
It is the desire of the Chinese Government
that France abandon the demand for indemnity.
On the
occasion referred to, Li Hang Chang asked the American
Minister whether the smallest State in Europe would sub¬
mit to such treatment; and on being answered in the
negative, added : “ Why then should the greatest nation
of Asia?”
France, it appears, is willing to limit her
demands to forty million francos, if the Chinese accept
mediation immediately.

A feature in the return is that

during
past week, Messrs. Pixley & Abell remark:
Gold—The demand for bars still continues, and as the arrivals have
been very small, recourse has been had to the Bank, and £232.000 in
bars and coin have been withdrawn for transmission to New
York,
Egypt and India. The P. and O. strainers have taken £95,090 to Alex¬
andria and India, an<t the Fulda £116,006 to The United States.
S'lver has been in fair demand, but the rate has slightly declined from
5034d. to 50i31(,d., our last week’s quotation, to 505sd., the price of the
day. The amounts to hand during the week have not been very large;
they comprise £62,000 from Chili, and £35.160 from New York—total.
£97,160. The Para has taken £11,660 to the West Indies and the P.
and O. steamers £167,500 to the East.
Mexican dollars have also declined, the orders on French account
having for the present censed.
About £7,000 have been received from
New York and £5,000 from Tampico. The P. aud O. steamer has taken
£71,580 to China and the Straits.

The banking firm of Messrs. Sinadino, Ralli & Co. has suspended payment, but it is understood
that the creditors will be paid in full.
Our interference in the
affairs of Egypt has already been expensive, but the

dition to the Soudan will be a costly affair.

will be made to Parliament in a few days
for a credit of
£2,000,000, but this amount will be far from adequate. An
increase of one penny in the £ in the income tax is regarded
as a certainty.

iron, since the stocks are being reduced by shipments. The
resolution further states that the existing
restriction cannot

Fine weather and ample supplies have 'caused the wheat
trade to remain quiet, but there lias been no material
change
in prices.
There is nothing to add to what was stated last
week, and there are no indications of improvement. It seems
that only a severe winter can have the effect of
raising prices.
The deliveries of home-grown barley have further increased,
the total in the principal 187 markets of the
Kingdom last
week having amounted to 127,889 quarters,
against 103,920
quarters last year. This makes a total since the commence¬
ment of the season of 473,922 quarters,
comparing with 331,439 quarters last year. The quantity of wheat and flour esti¬
mated to be afloat to the United Kingdom is
1,793,000 quarters
against a similar quantity last year.
The following return shows the extent of the sales of home¬
grown produce in the 187 principal markets of England and

Philadelphia & Reading.—It was decided to pay the inter¬
on the Jersey Central bonded debt due Nov. 1 as fast as the
coupons are presented under the plan proposed by Mr. Go wen.
The Philadelphia Press says : “The use of this large sum of
money at this time imperils payments later in the year
that it has been expected would be made. The Jersey divi¬
dend due on the 1st of December cannot now be paid, and it
may as well be understood that the interest on the Reading
general mortgage 6s, due on January 1, will be defaulted upon.
Part of the interest may be paid, but not the whole.
Mr.
Gowen’s proposed scheme of re-organization may settle the
question of these payments before they are due. It is said
Mr. Go wen’s plan will be ready for the public in a week or so.”

YORK, FRIDAY. NOV. 7, 1884-5 P. HI.
Money Market and Financial Situation.—The
Presi¬
dential election has overshadowed
everything else this week,
and has been the one topic of discussion in business
circles.
The contest proves to have been
very clos?, which was unfor¬
tunate, for it left the result in doubt for several days and gave
opportunity for dispute, and also for complaint, based upon
the slowness with which the returns came
in—particularly in
New York. All hinged upon the vote of this
State, and here
the successful party appears to have
only a small plurality on
a total vote of about a million and a
quarter. The
prolonged
uncertainty had an unsettling effect upon financial interests
probably helped to depress some of the properties on the
Stock Exchange.
Next to the Presidential canvass the feature of most
import¬
ance has been the war of rates on
passenger business between
the Eastern Trunk lines.
After some further reduction
early
in the week, the New York Central
yesterday made a cut to
$12 as the rate to Chicago, and the West Shore immediately
followed by cutting to $10 50, thus preserving
the customary
difference of $1 50 between the two roads. Not content with
this, an additional cut of $1 by both roads was reported to-day.
The fight between these two contestants is
being waged with
great bitterness, but the Pennsylvania has avoided thus far
being drawn into the conflict, and maintains the old rate of $20.
,
higher than last
Friday, mainly in consequence of the advance of the Bank of
England rate of discount to 5 per cent.
To-day the rates on actual business were as follows, viz.:
Bankers’ 60 days sterling, 4
79%@4 80; demand. 4 34@4 84%
Cables, 4 84%@4 85. Commercial bills were 4 77%@4 78. Con¬
tinental bills were: Francs, 5 25@5
25% and 5l32%@5
reichmarks, 94)4094% and 94/4095; guilders, 39%039V23%;
and
39/8040.
The following were the rates of domestic
exchange on New
York at the under-mentioned cities
to-day: Savannah, buying
li discount, selling % discount @ par; Charleston
buying
3-160% discount, selling par @ % premium; Boston 10015
premium; New Orleans, commercial, 50@75 discount; bank
100 premium ; St. Louis, 75
premium ; Chicago, 75 premium.
The posted rates of leading bankers are as follows :
November 7.
With the first of November there have been some additional
defaults of interest. That on the Denver & Rio Grande firsts
had been previously announced, that on the consol, first series
fives of the Philadelphia & Reading had been
expected, but
that on the Chicago & Atlantic first
mortgage was somewhat
of a surprise. The Chicago & Atlantic is the
Chicago line of
the Erie, and interest on its first mortgage bonds are
guaran¬
teed by boih the Erie and the
Pennsylvania & Ohio to the full
amount of all gross earnings derived by them on business to
or from that line.
The default on this line affected unfavor¬
ably almost all the securities of the Erie. Not only do the
second consols, which are a speculative
specialty, show a ma¬
terial decline as a consequence, but the first
consols, on which
interest is being regularly paid, also sustained a
heavy fall—
they dropped to 108 after having sold at 115@il6 for
some time
previously, with a recovery to-day to 109%.
The Pennsylvania Railroad on.
Monday took the^step that
had been hinted, and reduced its semi-annual dividend from 4
to 3 per cent, placing it
upon a 0 per cent basis, the same as
Lake Shore and New York Central.
It is to be noted that the
Lake Shore (practically the We-tern extension of the
Central)
was the first to reduce its
rate, and that the reduction by the
Pennsylvania now is more largely because of the losses
on the Western lines than on the Eastern lines.
Pennsylvania
stock has5 been comparatively little affected
by the lowering of
the dividend.
There have been some further moderate
shipments of gold from
the other side, but the Bank of England is
making strong efforts
to prevent an important outflow, and on
Thursday raised its
rate of discount to 5 per cent.

—The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe

& De Soto road to the Kansas
City
Fort
Scot t & Gulf upon pri¬
vate terms.
The road is 44 miles long,
running
from Pleasant
Hill in Kansas to Cedar Junction in
Missoui i, where it con¬
nects with the Atchison main
line, crosses the Fort Scott road
and the Southern Kansas Division of
the Atchison at Olathe.
It was leased by the* Atchison in
1877 for the interest on the
bonds, $120,000 7s, Atchison acquiring all of the
stock, some
$350,000. The Boston Herald says it lias not earned

expenses, and as it goes into friendly hands,
there is little hesi¬

that it can be made profitable by the

The Visible Supply of Cotton to-night, as made up by cable
and telegraph, is as follows. The Continental stocks, as well aa
those for Great Britain and the afloat, are this week’s returns,

bales less than at the same period last year. The receipts at
the same towns have been 1,772 bales more than the same

RECEIPTS FROM PLANTATIONS.
Conccteil—actual count.
Continental ports this week have been
9°ie
9 8a
Fri.
Receipts from tiie Plantations.—The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the act ual movement each
.veek from the plantations.
Receipts at the outports are someiimes misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
chan 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.

Comparative Port Receipts and Daily Crop Movement.
—A comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate,
as the weeks in different years do not end on the same day of
the month. We have consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader may
constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the years named.
The movement during
September, 1884, and previous years, has been as follows.

DRY
.
GOODS
TRADE.
past week had a very depressing effect upon the dry goods
trade, and the volume of business was exceedingly small. The
for most
descriptions of seasonable goods was gov¬
by absolute wants, and operations in spring fabrics were
temporarily suspended by jobbers, who are about placing
orders for future delivery.
The jobbing trade opened very
quiet, and improved but slightly after the elections, although
erned
the order demand
was
trifle better toward
a
the close of the
week.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—The exports of cotton
goods for
the week were 4,117 packages, including 1,130 to Great Britain,
1,004 to Chile, 450 to Oporto, 349 to Ilayti, 20G to U. S. of Co¬
lombia, 102 to Hamburg, and a number of smaller parcels to
other destinations. The demand for staple
goods at first hands
was
exceptionally light, and the jobbing distribution was of
strictly moderate proportions. Brown and bleached goods
quiet, but tin re was a fair movement in cotton flannels,
in which both brown and colored makes
participated. Wide
sheetings, corset jeans and colored cottons were severally in
limited request, and but few additional orders for white
goods
were recorded by agents.
Print cloths were less active than
of late, and prices are now lower than at
any former period
in the history of the trade, sales of G4xG4
spots’’ having been
made at 8Gc. less 1 percent, while some lots of GGxGOs
changed
hands at 2;'<jO. Prints and ginghams were dull and
unchanged.
Print Cloths.—The following shows the course of the
mirket during the week:
