regarded as a prominent feature in commercial circles, is daewhich speculators are accn-stomlDg themselves to. The same remark applies to the financial world.
Fewer companies are being introduced to public notice, and s
general desire to operate cautiously has therefore manifested
itself.
The rates of discount now current in this country are
not likely therefore to work adversely to our commerce, and,
unless there should be any active revival of the demand for
gold for exportation, which is regarded as improbable, we mayexpect the money market to remain in its present comparativelyeasy condition.

London, Satarday, Sept. 23, 1883.
The money market is r egarded as being in a condition of
nncertainty, and there are many who still believe in higher
rates of disoount. The question of an advance was, from some
nnaceonntable cau.se, discussed this week, but the directors of
the Bank have made no alteration, and none was needed. The
official quotation remains therefore at 5 per cent, but in the
open market the rate for the best three months bills does not
exceed 4M per cent. A difference, therefore, of
per cent,
combined with other features to be alluded to, tends to the
conclusion that dearer money, in the immediate future, is
scarcely possible. This week's Bank return is somewhat more
favorable, the note circulation having been diminished by
dE117,920, while the supply of bullion has been augmented to
the extent of £136,291. The total reserve has, therefore, been

%

increased by £254,211, and the proportion of reserve to liabilities
has risen from 39 18 to 39-77 per cent. Since the Bank return

was published there has, it is understood, been a further improvement in the position of the establishment, but the process
of recovery is decidedly slow, and the Bank of England is not
in a strong position for the period of the year.

Discount, 3 per cent.

Stock Exchange business has been far from active. The uncertainty which exists with regard to the future course of the
money markets keeps speculation in check; but prices are, in
cases, high, and this is an additional reason for the cauwhich prevails. A feature during the week has been a
renewed demand for electric light shares, the value of which
has decidedly improved. It may be observed, however, that
the electric light is being less extensively used in the streets of
London, the experiments of last winter having failed to give

LouDoir, Saturday, September 30, 1882.

The money market opened this week with a very quiet appearance, and the rates of discount were decidedly easy, at
about 4% per cent for the best three months bank bills, but as
the close of the week, and of the quarter, was approached, a
firmer tone prevailed, and the quotation is now i% to i}^ per
cent.
American exchange, owing to the dearne.ss of money in
New York, has been less favorable to us, and this has been a
prominent reason for the renewed firmness of the market. The
German money market also retains a firm appearance; but
Paris is easy, and until there is some movement at that centre
there will not probably be much change elsewhere, at all events
in Europe. During the next few days the open market rates of
discount will probably steadily approach those current at the
Bank of England, but any further change is not expected to
take place until the Paris market assumes a firmer position.
The Bank of France is still strong, and is keeping in check the
upward movement in the value of money elsewhere, bat some
heavy demands may soon be made upon it, and the directors
maybe compelled to increase their terms. The following are
the present quotations for money:

general satisfaction to the Corporation.

The number of failures in England and Wales gazetted during the week ending Saturday, September 23, was 159, against
176, showing a decrease of 17, or a net decrease in 1882 to date
of 709, The number of bills of sale published in England and
Wales was 652, against 913, showing a decrease of 261, or a net
decrease in 1882 to date of 1,871. The number published in
Ireland for the same week was 24, against 33, a decrease of 9,
being a net decrease to date of 298.
The wheat trade has remained very quiet, but, the New York
market being reported somewhat firmer, there has been perhaps
rather more steadiness during the last few days, but no animation has manifested itself. The supplies of produce offering
are still liberal, and an important feature in the trade, causing
depression, is that Russian wheat is being pressed for sale by
the Russian banks, who have been making considerable
advaaces to the farmers for some time past. Grhirka wheats

now selling at 36s. to 403. per quarter, and other Russian
wheats are low in value in proportion. Our imports continue

call loans easier, but also time loans and commercial paper. The effect of the better monetary situation,
however, has not been sliownin the stoclf market and the tone
has been irregular, feverish, and for the most part weak.
When the Fall season opened everything was looking favorable for a strong and liealthy stock market and all started off
with bright prospects. But presently there came a check to
the animation by tiglit money, and a certain bear influence
began to creep over the market from some quarter tliat was
hardly accounted for to tlie satisfaction of the old and knowing
ones. Even to this time, if we cut off the break in Louisville
Nasliville, tliere is hardly a forcible reason sliown for the
prolonged weakness in stocks, as the movement in such specialties as Eichmond & Danville and its off-shoots can not be
regarded as having any great significance, since tliey liave
never been widely distributed and have no general support from
the market. There are many who believe that behind all the
causes appearing on the surface is the hand of Mr. Gould, and
to sustain tliis ojunion they point to the articles in
World, where column
his newspaper, the New York
column has been devoted to persistent attacks
after
Nashville, Denver
Rio Grande, Northern
on Louisville
Pacific, and possibly some others. It has been supposed that
Gould wished to hammer these stocks in order to get a hold
on the Louisville road, and either to get into Denver, or else to
break down the opposition of Gen. Palmer, on the Denver &
Eio Grande, and also on his Mexican National I'oad, wliich will
run between the same terminal points Laredo and Mexico
City as Mr. Gould's Mexican road. The Louisville & Nash-

been in good demand all the week. The long bonds have been

by foreign bankers. It was claimed that tlie Ohio election had

was the depressing influence.

State and Railroad Bonds.—There have been very fevT
sales of Stale bonds, and Tennessees old are quoted to-day at
49i;<(»50, and the compromise bonds at about 58@60.
ifadroad bonds have fluctuated widely on some of the
speculative issues, while other bonds have been very steady.
The Richmond & l')anville consolidated mortg.age 6s sold considerably between 94 and 95, and the debenture bonds have
been active the past two days between 60 and 62}^. For the
purpose of investment or to hold for a while, it appears to be
a good time to purchase some of the bonds on the list and pay
for them, and it is well for buyers now to look at the market
sharply and see where the decline in stocks occasions a good
depression in stocks.
Railroad earnings are all that could reasonably be expected, opportunity to pick up bonds.

not
include
the
surplus
funds
in the treasary of the Amerido
can Cable Company, which were taken over with the lease of
that company, subject to certain unadjusted liabilities, which
have not been fully ascertained.
"The management has determined, as published in the quarterly statement of March, 1882, that from October 1, 1881, all
outlays fcr construction and investments in new property which
go into the plant shall be provided for out of surplus assets in
the treasury other than the cash surplus of current earnings.
As no sales of any part of such surplus assets have been made",
there has been advanced as a loin to the account of construction and purchases, to meet the outlay for these objects during
the remainder of the year, §835,676 from the cash surplus as
above stated. It has long been the established policy of
English corporations, founded oa sound principles, to provide
for extensions of the plant with additional capitalization in
stock or bonds, leaving all the net revenues above current
{^315,425,

expenses, interest and sinking fund, applicable to dividends.
But the surplus assets of the company,
the form of marketable securities in the treasury, being more than sufficient to
meet any constructions or purcha.ses likely to be made for
some years, additional capitalization will not be necessary.
This policy places the question of continuing at least the
present rate of dividends beyond possible contingency, with a
probable increase of this rate when the board shall deem it wise

The earnings and income accouut for the fiscal year were
given in the CHBomcLB of October 7, on page 403. The following extracts from the report of the President and Secretary
should be read in connection with the figures already published:
LENGTH OF EOADS OPBEJVTED.
" The last annual report stated the aggregate length of the
roads operated by this company June 30, 1881, at 1,872 mile».
In the month of July, 1881, the company purcha.sed the entire
capital stock of the Louisville Cincinnati & Lexington Railway
Company, and on the first day of November, 1881, took a conveyance of its railway and other property, and incorpor-

ated the road and property, with its leased roads (in
237 miles*, into the Louisville & Nashville system. The
Owensboro & Na.shville road (thirty-five miles', which ihis
comp<iny had previou.sly operated as a part of its system, was,
on the first of July, 1881, turned over to the Owensboro & Nashville Railroad Company, in which company the Louisville Si
Nashville Railroad owns a large majority of the capital stock,
and it is now operated by that company. On the first of Jan.,
1882, the Cecilian branch (from Louisville south forty-six miles)
was turned over to the Chesapeake Ohio & Southwestern Railway Company, under a lease for ninety-nine years, at an annaal
rental of $60,000, with the privilege to that company of purchasing at $1,000,000.

absorbed by this company since the beginning of 1866, besides
over ten millions expended in the direct construction of new
lines. Of the securities, over eight millions in value, as

In a " General Statement " an exhibit is made showing the
revenues and disbursements of the company for sixteen years,
from July 1, 1866, and making out a balance of $2,982,384 on
June 30, 1882, over and above the scrip dividend of 115,526,590
in 1881. The report then says: " The assets which have been
purchased and paid for out of the net revenues, are stated in
the schedule at their cost value.
" The company has other large and valuable assets, which
were not purchased and paid for at a fixed price, but which were
taken over under contracts with the several companies absorbed
by lease, or amalgamation and which therefore had no specific
cost value at which they could be entered into the general
accounts of the company. These are included in the following
list of marketable assets in the treasury of the company,
June 30, 1882, with their marketable value as nearly as can be
ascertained.

" Of the bond issues reported June 30, 1881, the company had
in its treasury unmarketed, as stated in the last annual report
$1,500,000 Lebanon-Knoxville branch bonds and $1,248,000 Pensacola & Selma division bonds. On November 1, 1881, it issued
$7,000,000 bonds, secured by general mortgage on its Louisville
Cincinnati & Lexington railway, of which $3,792,000 bonds were
retained by the trustee under the mortgage to retire the
Louisville Cincinnati & Lexington Eaijway Company's first and
secoud mortgage issues, and $3,208,000 of bonds remained in
the company's treasury to be marketed. Finding it impossible
in the depressed condition of the market for securities throughout the year to market any of these bonds at satisfactory
prices, the company negotiated an issue of $10,000,000 trust
bonds, pledging as security therefor the following bonds and

In conclusion the Pri sident remarks:

branch extension and the Madisonvifle branch, large expenditires have been made during the year for steel rails, locomotive
engines, freight cars, passenger coaches, depots, wharves,
<<

terminal facilities, etc."
The stockholders should,
however, remember that when the large purchases of the railroads and capital stock of other companies were made in 1879,
1880 and 1881, this company had but little cash capital, and
the purchases were hence made on credit, the roads purchased
being at the time in bad condition; and that to pay for the
Pi-operty purchased and to put the roads in proper shape for
active business necessarily required large outlays of money.
But in view of the growing prosperity of the country at large,
and especially of the rapid development of the vast resources,
mineral and agricultural, of the country through which our
lines and their connections immediately pass, we are confident
of a successful future for our company; and for the profitable
results of the fiscal year 1882-83 we have abundant promise in
the excellent crops, especially in the Southern country, where

(For the year ending June 30, 18S2 )
From advance sheets of tlie annual report th» following'
abstract is made up. Mr. William Butler Duncan, President,
remarks that "there is no floating debt beyond the current
expenses of the month of June, which are liquidated on or before the 15'.h o' the

month neit .succeeding.

The company has,

however, guaranteed an advance of $100,000 on account of the
Cairo extension over and above the amount realized from the
sale of the bonds issued for its construction; bat said amount is
amply covered by securities specifically held in trust. The
constrnetion of this exten.sion has cost somewhat more than was
expected, owing to theexceptionally bad weather through which
the work was done, and the total cost in cash of the extension,
with the terminal addition;?, was |640,000." * *
The road and equipment have been fully maintained. " The
present indebtedness on account of the equipment thus far
added by means of the car-trust is $39,405, which, with the interest thereon, will be met by monthly paym^^nts of $3.34,
charged as paid in operating expenses. There will be added
during the coming year eight mogul engines, contraoted for
wi^h the Baldwin Locomotive Works, at an aggregate cost, delivered, (if $100,000, to be paid for by sixty monthly payments
of $1,C.')0 each, to be charged in like manner as paid in the
operating expenses." * * *
"The receipts from sales of lands have somewhat increased,
exceeding any previnus year, and amounting to $52,003, as
compared with $49,336 last year."
In conclasion, Mr. Duncan says: "While the results of the past
year's operations have been unsatisfactory, the causes therefor
are simply explained by short crops and disastrous floods. Notwithstanding all these disadvantages, equalling in combined
effect those of the memorable yellow fever year, the net revenue
has largely exceeded the fixed charges, and we have reason,
consequently, with increased facilities, to enter hopefully upon
the new and unburdened year."

{For the year ending July 31, 1882.)

The annual report of Mr. Geo. Sealy, the President, states
that the balance sheet does not cover the full value of aasets of
the company. " The State of Texas owes us abou t 400,000 acres
of land, and we have about 2f>,000 acres of land along our line
of rtiad, together with town sites at all stations, which belong
to your company, and which are worth at least $150,000 mora

" At the time this report is being written, the grading on the
Eastern branch from Somerville to Navasota i-» about completed (30 miles.) The iron bridge to cross the Brazos River is
en route, and the road to Navasota may be completed by Deo.
1.
A large force is engaged
grading the Houston branch,
and with favorable weather Houston will be reached by the
middle of November. We have all the iron, fastenings, ties
and other materials on hand and paid for to complete all the
road we have under construction."
The directors also determined to purchase the Chicago Te»'«
& Mexican Central Hallway, extending from Cleburne to Db*'"*-.
a distance of fifty-three miles. The transaction was closed in
the last days of July, but the entries do not appear in the
books of the company until August. The cost of the road
does not, therefore, appear in the present statement. Possession of the road was taken Aug. 1, 1882.
As there is a very large business centering in Houston, the
directors determined to build a branch road to that point from
Alvin, on the main line, a distance from Houston of about
twenty-three miles. This will give a line from Galveston to
Houston of about fifty-one miles.
" We will also receive an increase of business from the connection made with the Texas & St. Louis Railway at McGregor.
This road extends throiigh one of the richest portions of the

m

and we have made arrangements with its management to
exchange ;.business on a mutual satisfactory ba.sis. The New
York Texas & Mexican Railway, connecting with us at Roienberg, was opened for business to Victoria on July 15, 1882, and

this will also give us increased business
The report refers to the bad year 1881-2 as follows :
"Owing to the continued drouth, the wheat, corn

and oat

crop yielded no surplus for transportation, and the cotton crop
for the whole State, as estimated for the year'ending August 31,
1882, was 878,851 bales, as against the year ending August 31,
18S1, 1,2()0,2-17 bales. The total number of bales reaching Galveston for the year ending August 31, 1882, was 442,8bt) bales
as against the year ending August 31, 1881, 694,(501 bales.
The
total receipts over our road for the year ending July 31,
1882, was 184,037 biles, as against July 31, 1881, 2a8,187 bales."
On the first of August, 1881, 245 miles were operated, of
which 19 were leased, and on the first of August, 1882, 430
miles were operated, all owned by the company, the leased
road from Areola to Houston having been dropped March 15,
1882.

Elizdbetli City Debt.—The citizens contended that a finanagent, who should receive two jjer cent on the $6,000,000
debt, or $120,000, was an unnecessarily expensive luxury. The
city authorities,however,have appointed Messrs.Louis Fitzgerald
and Stewart L. Woodfoid as financial agents, and it would seem,
desirable for the citizens to make diligent inquiries as to the
services to be rendered for this fee of $120.0l;0, and whether
any division of the money with other parties is to be made. It
would also be well to ascertain whether there were not plenty
of able and honest men in the State of New Jersey who would

Carolina Cumberland

Gap &

Cliic.igo.— A

report

from

Aiken, S. C, says that a consolidation undiT the name of the
Carolina Cumberland Gap & Chicago Railroad has been effected
by the Atlantic & French Broad Valley road in South Carolina,
the Cumberland Railway of Kentucky, the Morristown Cumberland Gap & Ohio of Tennessee, and Morristown & Carolina Ry.
Got. Hagood, of South Carolina, is President, and a number of
prominent South and North Carolinans and Tennesseeans are directors. Authority was given for the immt-diate issuance of first
and second mortgage bonds, and stock certiHcateP,which will be
printed at the earliest date practicable. Altogether the bonds
and stock to be issued will>amount to $17,000,000. Headquarters will be established at Aiken. The construction party will
be the Atlantic & Northwestern Conttruotion Company of New
York. The construction party agree to build 100 miles of the
road a year.
Carson & Colorado. This narrow-gauge road, which is already built from Mound House, -Nevada (on the Virginia and
Truckee road, ten miles from Carson City), southward about
180 miles, is to be extended some 250 miles more to Mojave,
on the Southern Pacific, thus opening up a great mining refion on the east side of the Sierra Nevada. The road is owned
y Senator Sharon and other men of means.
Chicago Iowa & Dakota. A dispatch to the St. Paul
JHoneer-Press from Hampton, Iowa, says "The railroad to be
known as the Chicago Iowa & Dakota Railroad Company, which
is being so cautiously manipulated to completion by Judge Potter, who was formerly President of the Iowa Central, has been
ventilated but little. This road seems to be the centre link to
a chain that will develop into a line of considerable magnitude.
At present the road is being built from Gifford, Hardin County,
to Forest City, a distance of eighty miles. It is being laid with
sixty pound steel rails, and its roadbed and bridges signify
Something more than a local line. The track is already laid to
Eldora."
Denver & Rio Grande. PresideBt Palmer telegraphed on
Tuesday from the end of the track, Western Colorado "I have
ridden here over the works frcm the end of our track in Utah.
The entire gap of about 200 miles is lined with men and teams
finishing up. Three thousand men are employed. The Denver & Rio Grande trsck will reach the Utah border in two
months. This coinpletes the Denver & Rio Grande portion.
The Denver & Rio Grande Western in Utah will finish earthwork about the same time, leaving then only 90 miles of tracklaying to be done, which will continue at the rate at which
rails are manufactured for us by the Colorado Coal & Iron Co.,
namely, a mile and a half daily."
East Tennessee Virginia & Georgria. Track is now all laid
on the cross branch from Ooltewah, Tenn., to Red Clay, 11^
miles. This branch has been built to give the new line to
-Atlanta and Brunswick a direct connection with Chattanooga.

months. During Tuesday and Wednesday prices were advancing.
Foreign advices being better, stocks, especially of
A merican cotton, continued very small. Under tliese circumBtancps there was a demand to cover contracts, wliich, witli
reduced offerings, caused a material recovery of values, and
the distant deliveries attracted more attention from operators
for the rise. Yesterday there was renewed depression, under
the large receipts at the ports. To-day the opening was quite
depressed, but the close steadier in tone, though somewhat
irregular as to prices. Cotton on the spot has been more active
for export, witli a steady demand for home consumption.
Quotations were advanced I-I60. on Tue.sday, and again on
Thursday, the small stocks giving holders the advantage,
without reference to the course of futures. To-day the price
was steady, but there was less doing for export, and the close
was quiet at ll^o. for middling upland.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 495,600
bales.
