THE COTTON GOODS TRADE IN OCTOBER.
There was an irregular demand for staple cotton
goods at first hands, and the jobbing trade was only
moderate, as usual at this time of year. Prices ruled
steady on all such makes of plain and colored cotton
as govern the market, and some descriptions of brown
sheetings specially adapted for the wants of converters
were advanced by the mill agents. Bleached cottons
were in light demand by jobbers, and a fairly satisfactory business in colored cottons was done with the
manufacturing trade. Print cloths were very active at
times and closed firm at 3 5-16c. flat for 64x64s and 2Jc.

in
population of the United States on June 1, 1890, as
first count of persons and families, exclusive of
white persons in Indian Territory, Indians on reservations,
and Alaska, was 63,480,540. These figures may be slightly
changed by later and more exact compilations, but such
changes will not be material. In 1880 the population was
The absolute increase of the population in the ten

years intervening was 12,324,757, and the percentage of increase was 24-57. In 1870 the population was stated as 38,558, According to these figures the absolute increase in the
371.
decade between 1870 and 1880 was 11,597,412 and the percentage of increase was 30-08.
-•
Upon their face, these figures show that the population has
increased between 1880 and 1890 only 727,345 more than between 1870 and 1880, while the rate of increase has apparently
diminished from 30 08 to 24-57 per cent. If these figures were
derived from correct data, they would be indeed disappointing. Such a reduction in the rate of increase, in the face of
the enormous immigration during the past ten years, would
argue a great diminution in the fecundity of the population or
a corresponding increase in its death rate. These figures are,
however, easily explained when the character of the data used
is understood." It is well known, the fact having been demonstrated by extensive and thorough investigation, that the Census of 1870 was grossly deficient in the Southern States—so
much so as not only to give an exaggerated rate of increase of
the population between 1870 and 1880 in these States, but to
affect very materially the rate of increase in the country at
shown by the
large.
'• These omissions were not the fault nor were they within
the control of the Census Offic?. The Census of 1870 was taken
under a law which the Superintendent, G3neral Francis A.
Walker, characterized as clumsy, antiquated and barbarous.'
The Census Office had no power over its eniunerators save a
'
—

NoTDfBnt
barren protest, and this right wa» even questioned in some
qimrlcrM. lu rcforriiiR to these omissionB, the Saporintondnnt
of tlio Tenth ("onsusRaid in his report in relation to the taking
of the census in South Carolina: It follows, as a conelu-.ion
of the hJKheHt authority, either that the Census of 1870 was
grossly defective in rcRard to the whole of the State or .some
consiilernble [wrt-s thereof, or else tliat the Census of 1880 was
fraudulent.'
'•
Thcwe, therefore, who believe In the accuracy and honesty
of the Tenth Census -and that was thoroughly establiHhed
must accept the other alternative offered by Qen. Walker,
namely, that the Ninth Census was 'grossly defective.' What
was true of South Carolina was also tme, in greater or less
degree, of all the Southern States. There is, of course, no
means of ascertain in a; accurately the extent of the.so omissions, but in all probability they amount to not less tlian
There is but little question that the population of
1,600,000,
the United States in 1870 was at least 40,000,000, instead of
^,558,371, as stated. If this estimate of the extent of the
omissions in 1870 be correct, the absolute increase l)etween
1870 and 1880 was only about 10,000,000, and the rate of
increase was not far from 25 per cent. These figures compare
much more rea.sonably with similar deductions from the population in 1880 and 1890.
" Omitting from consideration those States in which the
Census of 1870 is known or is presumed to have been faulty,
the rate of increase between 1870 and 1880 in the remaining
States has been very nearly maintained in the decade between
1880 and 1890. Referring to the principal table of the bulletin
the Census of 1870 is known or is presumed to have been deficient in nearly all the States of the South Atlantic and SouthCentral Divisions, while in the North Atlantic, Northern
'
em
Central and Western Divisions no evidence of incompleteness
has been detected.
" The population of these three last-named divisions in 1870,
1880 and 1890, the absolute increase for the two decades, and
the rate of increase, are set forth in the following table:

" It wiU be seen that the absolute increase between 1880
and 1890 exceeded that between 1870 and 1880 by 1,085,603,
and that the proportional increase was but 1'3 per cent less.

Silver securities are likewise depressed. The
speculation in them here was very large, and a liquidation is
now going on in them as in other departments of the Stock
Exchange.
There has been less alarm in the stock markets this week.
Rumors have been comparatively few and confidence is reviving. Much talk continued, indeed, during Monday and Tuesday respecting the chief partner in a wealthy house which
has for some years past operated very largely in the stock
markets, and especially in the American department. It was
said that he had locked up an inconveniently large part of his
capital in real estate in America and also in bonds quoted
only on some of the American Exchanges, that he had underwritten too many of the new securities brought out here
during the past few years, and that in addition he had speculated on an immense scale in American railroad securities.
The brokers who acted for him became alarmed when American prices continued to tumble and they tried to induce him

lowed between him and his brokers. He had full confidence
in his own'resources and his own judgment, and he refused to
be dictated to. It is admitted by all parties that his assets
very greatly exceeded his liabilities. But the difficulty in
which he was placed by the action of his brokers and the
bankers who had advanced money to him were such that he
had to apply for assistance to one of the very greatest of our
houses. Tlie result is that the accounts he had open upon the
Stock Exchange have been taken over at a loss to him estimated at about half a million sterling. It is stated, however,

Negotiations are altout to begin between a delegate of the
Argentine Government and the great London houses interest-
ed in Argentine atfairs for a losin sufficient to enable the
Government to pay the interest not only upon ita own debt
but ujxjn the debts of the insolvent provinces and municipalities.
It is understood, also, that an attempt will be made to
arrive at some compromise respecting cedulas.
In round
figures about 100 million dollars of cedulas have been issued
by the National Mortg.age Baak, with the guarantee of the National Government, and about 300 million dollars have been
issued by the Hypothecary Bank of the Province of Buenos
Ayres, with a guarantee from the province. Whether these latter are to be included in the compromise is not known. They
are largely held in Europe.

So far as the present week ia concerned, the result of the
elections was made a pretext for further hammering, and
to-day the Bank of England rate was advanced to 6 per cent
quite unexpectedly, and these two causes must be regarded as
wie chief reasons for the excessive weakness in the market.
It is to be remembered, however, that every 100 shares of
stock sold is purchased by somebody; it is the old process of
shifting from weaker to stronger holdei-s, and a valuation of
49;^ for St. Paul as against 79»^ in May, and 431;^ for Union
Pacific as against 68/8 in January, with the rest of the market
reduced more or less on a sliding scale, must furnish a new
basis for stock dealings quite different from anything that
we have had for some years past.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 3(325 per cent,
6 per cent having been a fair average. To-day rates on call
were 5 to 23 per cent. Prime commercial paper is quoted at
6@ 7 per cent.

This presents rather striltingly the extent to which the present stock depression has gone, for without any tlnancinl disturbance, or even any serious failures, either banking or mercantile, we find a continued shrinkage in values which brings
prices down below those made in the financial crisis of 18W.
Another fact is, tliat the greatest decline haj been in the stocks
of companies thoroughly solvent, many of them dividend
payers whoso bonds are in steady demand at high prices. In
the following table we have talten a few of the stocks that
reached their lowest prices this week and show the lowest
points reached by them in ten years

Quotations for State bonda hold
up fairly well, and an advance is noticeable for acme iMuee,
particularly Louisiana consols. The sales have been: Louisiana consol. 43, $20,000 at 93>i and $6,000 small, at 92J^: North
Carolina consolidated 4s, $2,000 at 99^; Tennessee settlement
3.S, §4,000 at 71(372; Virginia 6s deferred trust receipte, $20,000 at %\i.
Railroad bonds have been irregular, but previous to the
tumble in the stock market manifested strength. In sympathy,
however, with the weakness in stocks prices became heavy and
dealings larger, the more speculative issues falling considerably. AH the Reading incomes —first, second and third preference bonds went to the lowest price of the year to date, and
so did Atchison incomes and not a few other is.-iues. Among
investment bonds Ches. & O. consol. 5s sold, ex-inter, at 97^
Railroad and Hiscellaneong StocliK.— The course of tiia
stock market this week was a surprise and a disappointment.
On Monday, while Sugar on sales of 157,000 shares was falling
over four points, the rest of the market gave evidence of a strong
undertone, many stocks scoring fractional gains. On Wednesday, after the election, there was at the opening a good demand for stocks for London, and some confidence was
expressed in the outlook. Then came a strong selling movement, the Vanderbilt stocks being especially active and weak.
Even New York Central, which has sold so little of late, was
dealt in to the extent of nearly 11,000 shares. Yesterday there
was a continuance of activity and weakness, and to-day,
on the news that the directors of the Bank of England had
held an extra meeting and raised their rate of discount to 8
per cent, the market became extremely active, and prices
were still further depressed. Many leading stocks sold several
points lower than at any time before this year. There was a
partial rally towards the close.
The selling of New York Central is said by some
to have emanated largely from bear operators, who claim
that the strike cost the company so dearly that no extra dividend will be announced in January. Lake Shore and Northwest

has been poured upon the market in large volume, and the
bear talk here is on the size of the company's floating debt incurred for new roads and the purchase of Oregon Railway
& Navigation stock. Burlington & Quincy has been another
feature in dealings, selling down to 855= on rumors of a decrease in the dividend. Rock Island and St. Paul were affected
somewhat by the falling off in gross earnings for the fourth
week of October. Illinois Central dropped sharplyalso as the
result of a poor statement of earnings. Last week (Thursday) it

the year ending June 30, 1890.^
The fifth annual report of this company shows that the
gross earnings of the company for the fiscal year have exceeded the gross earnings for 1889 by the sum of $109,288, or
an increase of a little over 28 per cent and the net earnings
have exceeded the net earnings of 1889 by the sum of $43,968,
being an increase of nearly 33 per cent. All of the equipment
is of the most approved and modern manufacture, and has
been newly purchased at a cost of $586,756, all of which has
been paid except a balance of $118,895, which is still outstanding in the form of trusts maturing in quarterly payments
within the next five years.
The Cleveland & Canton Railroad Company was organized
June 24 and took possession of this property July 1, 1885, and
during nearly all this five years it has been in a transition state,
preparing to change the gauge, changing the gauge, and, after
the change, making connections with other roads, and
generally accommodating itself to the requirements of its newcondition and fitting itself to do business as a standard-gauge
railroad.
The increase of earnings for the last year was
largely made during the last months of the year.
"The President remarks: " One of the surest barometers of a
road's ultimate prosperity is the population along its line, and
to-day the CleTeland & Canton Railroad has a population per
mile along its line equal to two-thirds of the population per
mile on the line of the Boston & Albany Railroad, a railroad
which has been in operation for more than forty years in the

Chicago Gas. In Chisago last week Judge McConnell sustained the demurrer to the pleas of the Gas Trust in the
information filed by the people on the relation of Francis B.
Peabody, that the Trust had no right to deal or bold the stock
in other gas companies and thus create a monopoly of the
gas business. An order for a judgment was to be entered subsequently. The case came up for re-hearing, being sent back by
the Supreme Court, and the additional information was filed
to the effect that the Gas Trust not only did not have the
power to hold a majority of the stock in other companies, bat
hadn't even the power to hold a minority of the stock. The
concluding paragraph of the Court's decision thus puts the
case: "I tielieve that the interest of government requires
that these creations of government shall not take on or exercise powers which do not come within the rule just announced.
In the opinion of this court the pleas not only do not answer
the question, but confess a usurpation of powers. The demurrer to the pleas is therefore sustained."

Now
most serious question arises, whether or not they have any title or
re anything more tban mere custodians of property which iVelongs to
others, to wit, the certificate holders. At the present time, I tSink
*

they are mere custodians.
/
We therefore find the defendants in possession of property belonging equitably to others, which came Into their hands under an agreement void as to the main purpose for which it was made, and which
they cannot legally use for the purpose for which it was
placed in their hands; and they are utterly powerless to convey
and give a good title or to distribute it to its rightful owners. Whether
the agreement is valid in some respects wherein it has been executed,
or whether, under the circumstance.^, the certificate holders compose
a partuer.'bip, it i.s not material now to dotcrmine, as these motions
*
relate strictly to the custody and disposition of the property.
•
*
It must be admitted that the rigUts of the certificate holders are
equal, and th.at the holder of a few certificates is equally entitled to
protectiou with one wlio owns a large quantity, "nie Sugar Trust is
not a corporntion, and hence the statutes applical)le to the reorganization of corporations have no application. It is not, therefore, a case
where a maijority can coerce the minority into any new scheme of reorganization. The purposes of the agreement or co-partBership, or whatever it may be called, having failed, each certificate holder has a right
to demand that the affaiis shall be wound up, aud that he have his
share of the joiut property, aud I know of no way that such an event
can be accomplished, except by the unanimous consent of the certificate holders or by application to the courts. In the meantime, what is
to be done with the pioi>ertyl8 a vital question. Shall the business
that has been declared illegal be contiuued and thus place in Jeopardy
the charters of all the corporations connected with the Trust 1 Or shall
it be taken into custody by the court and held Intact tor tliose interested in it J Shall this vast amount of property lie left in the hands of
a board, acting without any defined duties or restrictions, without any
legal authority, and subject only to the will or discretion of a majority
of its members 1 " * * *
The law of the case in respect to the appointment of a receiver is too
plain to require a long statement. Where a bill is filed by one of several partners it is a matter of course to ai)point a receiver upon the apflication of either party. (Martin against Van Schaick, 4 Paige. 479 ;

the court said:
"
Each partner has
an equal right to the possession aud control of the partnership effects
and business, aud if t; ey cannot agree among themselves it is a matter
of course to appoint a receiver " * * '
To my miud there never was a clearer case for the appointment of a
receiver. It is always a most embarra.ssing and unpleasant duty to
perform, for the reason that conflicting interests make an unseemly
struggle for recognition in the appointment of a receiver. In this case
it is peculiarly so, owing to the fact that to the public it might appear
that I had exorcised a discretion in taking the property from the custody of men of the highest standing in the community for business
ca])acity and integrity of character but it must bo remi'iiiliered that
the Court at GeneralTerm has held that the agreement under which
they acquired the property is void as creating a vast monopoly and so
against public policy, and that the Trust cannot legally f urtlier carry on
It must also be noted that such a course does not intertile business.
fere with the mauufacture of sugar, but prevents the corporations belonging to the Trust from violating the law and incurring a forfeiture
of tlieir charter.
I cannot, therefore, but think such a course is not only demanded by
law, but it is to be the best interest of all concerned for the public,
because it will free the corporations composing the Trust from their
illegal relations with it, and permit them to hn rehal)ilitate'l with
their former powers and capacity, and thus avoid forfeiture of their
charters and tlie train of calamities that wo.ild follow tlio interruption
of the business of refining sugar for the certificate holders, because it
will preserve the propert.v aud facilitate the speed.v settlement of the
matter, either by reorganization, if practicable, or a division of the
property. * » »
The property is of such a large amount, the business so vast and
complicated, that it seems to me wise to appoint at least two temporary
receivers, or if the plaiutlfts in the second suit will move that a decree
be entered in that suit anpolnting permanent receivers, a decree can be
entered to that effect. Both parties may submit nomiuatious for receivers, with projiosed orders or decree, on or before Thursday, the 6th

each out of the earnings of the company. The company has
$661,000 cash in bank, has paid $210,000 on account of these
two vessels, and has about $350,000 in bank more than is necessary to complete payment for them. The vessels have been
built to accommodate the trade along the north coasts of Central America and South America, connecting three times a
month at Aspinwall with the company's steamers from New
York. This business has heretofore been done entirely by
foreign vessels. Statistics prepared by the Pacific Mail Company within the last three months show that Europe, 4,000

Sugar Trust. In the Supreme Court in Brooklyn Judge
Pratt rendered his decision in favor of the appointment of
receivers. We quote at length from the Judge's opinion,
which is quite suggestive on certain points, and especially on
the question of partnership. When Trusts first became fashionable in the place of corporations, the Chronicle suggested
the great uncertainties attending their existence as bodies un
known to the law; they were not corporations, firms, individuals nor joint stock companies. Nor is it injustice to say
that one object in the formation of these great Trusts was to
avoid the legal obligations clearly defined as belonging to corporations.
Our cautionary remarks made in the early days of Trusts have
been tolerably well justified by the subsequent course of
events, both inside and outside of the Stock Exchange, as many
can testify to their cost. And another point of view then
taken is again brought up by Judge Pratt's decision, and that is
the question of partnership. Is a holder of certificates in a
Trust liable as a partner, or as the holder of shares in a jointstock company, of which our leading Express companies are
examples ? This is an important question for certificate holders, and one well worth considering in case of the formation

It appears that the Chicago & Northern Pacific, which owns
the Chicago terminals, leased these terminals to the Wisconsin
Central Company for ninety-nine years, and the Central Company then sub-leased tliem to the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company for a period of ninety-nine years from April 1, 1890.
The rental paid by the Northern Pacific for the Chicago terminals is §3)0,000 per annum, in addition to the interest on
the bonds of the Terminal Company.
The report proposes to the stockholders the issuing of new
debentures to pay the outstanding contracts for the piircliase
of rolling stock, on which it has heretofore paid rental, and
says that it should capitalize by funding all the temporary

quotations are maintained at IMc for paper grades and

East India Crop.— From Messrs. Gaddum, Bythell & Co.'s
cotton report, dated Bombay, Oct. 4, we have the following:
The reports from the distrlots generally are still very favorable.

Sartg of the Bengal circle, as well as in two or three of

The crop, according to Monday's telegraphic summary, needed line
weather at Nagpore, but from no other quarter did anything like a
complaint come; and In the Dhollera circle, where there had meantime
been no more rain in any district, and where the fall has been much
below the average, the plants were flourlshiug, being In flower at
Wadwan, where the dewy weather prevailing tended to improve the
yield. Prospects throughout the Oomrawuttee circle were good, and
picking of the first sowing had partially begun at Dhulla; an Inci and a
ouarter more rain had fallen at Hubli, In the Dharwar circle, nearly
making up the average to the end of this month. Telegraphic advices
to hand yesterday reported a fall of nearly three inches more at Hubll,
with every prospect of its continuance, much improving cotton
prospects. Little further raia had fallen elsewhure and none in the
Dhofiera circle; but accounts were generally of a decidedly favorable
tenor. Picking had begun In one or two districts of the Bengal and
Oomra circles, and the bolls were rapidly ripening or being shed In
others. At Broach the weather continued seaeonable, and the plants
were advanced in flower; and the same report comes from several of
the Dhollera districts.

buyers, but many jobbers and the manufacturing trade have
alrendy supplied their immediate and near prospective wants
to such an extent that the demand in this relation w-is rather
less active than a short time ago.
There was a g')od, seady
movement in spring clothing woolens, cotton "wash"
fabrics, white goois, black sateens, fancy black di ess cottons,
hosiery, &c., on ace mnt of back orders, and such makes as
govern the market are very firmly held by the mill agents.

Oats were firmer ea rly in the week, and seemed under
strong control by holders, but latterly prices have weakened
in sympathy with wheat and corn. There is, however, no
important decline.

Indian corn has shown more strength than wheat. There
has been a fair export demand. To-day, however, in the later
dealings there was a great decline in sympathy with wheat,
and No. 3 mixed closed at 60c. afloat in cargoes for export.
The reports regarding the out-turn of the new crop continue
unfavorable, but there is no present scarcity.
