There are, perhaps, more mercantile bills
afloat, but they are not sufficiently numerous to exercise much
influence over the money market. It is obviously owing to this
cause that the rates of discount fall away as soon as the
export demand for gold abates, and speculation assumes a

diminished form. A fair quantity of gold has, however, been

A vary large proportion of car home supplies is arriving in

inferior qualities sell slowly at irregular prices.

Good

barley,

suitable for malting purposes, is held at a rather high price,

only moderate prices are likely to be obtained. The weather
is just now very favorable for the work of preparing the land
for autumn sowing, and satisfactory progress has already been

made.
During the week ended September 34 the sales of home-grown
wheat in the 150 principal markets of Bngland and Wales
amounted to 46,01.') quarters, against 52,218 quarters last year
while it is computed that they

were in the whole kingdom 186,500 quarters, against 209,000
quarters and 56,750 quarters. Since harvest the sales in the

kingdom being 631,160 quarters, against 615,000 quarters and
301,500 quarters in the two previous season respectively. Without reckoning the supplies of produce furnished ex-granary at

Minnesota State Tlonds.- At St, Paul, Minn., Oct. 13, the
met in joint session to hear Governor Pillsbury's
message in regard to the State railroad bonds. He said:
"My individual preference is that every dollar of the debt represented
Legislature

hy the Minnesota State railroad bonds should be paid
and interest. I believe that no course short of this
the honor and integrity of a sovereign State so far as

iu full, principal
is

consistent with

relates to its

own

voluntary action; but inasmuch as tlie holders of tke bonds have upon
their own motion proposed an adjustment on more favorable term,", an
opportunity is presented for discharging the whole debt by partial payment without any necessary compromise of good name. This offer by
the bondholders and the resulting act of ailjustment based thereupon, I
regard as essentially a contract. The holders of these obligations submitted a proposition, wliich yoii| accepted by the passage of an act
reciting the same, and providing means tor its performance. The
Supreme Court, while condemning the raeansthus provided, has reached
the end proposed by rendering the decision upon which legislative setr
tlement was conditioned, so that while the compact remaioB binding
on both parties, its faithful performance is reudere<l more obligatory and
the mode of its performance eimpUUed by the action of our highest udicI

ial authority."

—So

far as public sentiment in the State can be inferred
from the tone of the country press and public utterances, it is as
strongly opposed to the payment of the bonds as it was when
the last proposition for settlement was voted down, two to one,
at a popular election two years ago. Every county in the State
that adopted resolutions upon the bond question condemned
the plan of settlement by an extra session. In many counties
in the southern part of the State special mass meetings have
been held to denounce the Gtovernor for calling the session, to
disapprove the plan of settlement, and instruct members of the
Legislature to vote against it.
the 13th Senator Pillsbury introduced in the Legislature
a bill for the payment of the railroad debt at 50 cents on the
dollar, nearly identical with that passed last winter, except that
it omits the provision for a tribunal to decide the legality of the
settlement, that point being covered by the recent Supreme
Court decision. The bill was referred to the Finance Committee.

The present amount represents 202 miles of railroad completed, as follows:
96 miles of Toledo & Northwestern Railroad in Iowa
20 miles of low.a Southwestern Railroad in Iowa.
70 miles of I>akota Central Railroad iu Dakota.
miles of Rock River RuiUoad in Wisconsin.
iles of Menomiuee River Railroad in Wisconsin ana Michigan.

203 miles at $13,000 per mile, amounting to $3,030,000.

For the Metropolitan—Vve&idient Russell Sage, Samuel

The committees met together, and considered the questions
at issue.
The basis of settlement proposed

by Mr. Gould was as follows ;
All claims held by the New York Company and the Metropolitan
Company against the Manhattan shall be canceled forthwith, a
full release being executed.
In return for this the Manhattan
will not enforce payment for the $13,000,000 of stock received

Having thus squared all past
proposed that a new start shall be had, the Man-

hattan to continue as manager of the roads as heretofore, operating, however, under a raodifled lease, by the terms of which
the earnings of the roads shall be apportioned among the three
with a preference given the New York to the extent of 6 per
cent.
After the interest on the bonds of both roads has been
paid, the Metropolitan and Manhattan are to be entitled to 4
per cent each, any surplus to be distributed pro rata.
This was modified, and on Friday they agreed in substance
that the Manhattan Company shall pay to the New York road
6 per cent of the gross receipts, and after the interest on the
bonds has been paid the Metropolitan road is to take a dividend of 6 per cent and the Manhattan 4 per cent. Any surplus
earnings will be divided jwo rata among the New York and
Metropolitan companies. The agreement must be ratified by
the stockholders.
The Homestake Mining Co., of Dakota, has declared its
thirty-eighth dividend (for September), amounting to $30,000,
and making a total to date of $1,140,000. The present dividend
is payable by Wells, Fargo & Co. on the 25th instant.

Railroad and Xiscellaneons Stocks.—The stock market has
been rather irregular, varying from day to day with the phases
of the money market and the attitude of the great operators.
Since the Ohio & Mississippi election, and the new deal in the
elevated stocks and Western Union, Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Garrett
and Mr. Gronld appear to be rather in opposition to each other,
while the last-named is co-operating in some of his schemes with
Mr. Sam Sloan, Mr. Cyrus W. Field, and in Western Union even
with Mr.C. P. Huntington.
Mr. Vanderbilt occupies an isolated
position at present, but to-morrow he may change, and join
with the others in advancing stocks. The railroad bnilding in
the country is something quite unprecedented, even in 1 878. and
this enormons activity cannot faU to add greatly to the bosiiMM
of the old railroads, and also to make a sharp demand for money.

"During more than half of the year for which this statement
is made the company's expenses were largely increased and
revenues somewhat diminished by a sharp and litigious competition and by maintaining the separate organization of the
Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph Company under the then existand daring the latter half much of the
ing agreements
;

duplicate expenditures for rents, &c., besides extraordinary
legal expenditures, had to be bome."
The general exhibit showing the revenues and disbursements
of the company for fifteen years from July 1, 1866, is brought
forward in this report, and as a matter of book-keeping shows
the nominal surplus to June 30, 1881, of 1516,616,468, out of
which the stock dividend was declared to the amount of $15,526,590, leaving a nominal balance of $1,089,878, which may go
on as the nest-egg for another stock dividend. The report says
further
"It is known to the stockholders that during the latter half
of the fiscal year the company absorbed by a general contract
the lines and properties of the American Union Telegraph
Company and of the Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph Company.
For this purpose the capital stock was increa.sea to $80,000,000,
paying therefrom for the stock and bonds of the former company
$15,000,000, and for that of the latter company $8,400,000. It was
also agreed that the accumulated surplus of this company
should first be capitalized and distributed to its stockholders.
And for that purpose the proceeds of the Atlantic & Pacific
Telegraph Company stock, standing charged in the surplus at
$1,806,250, and $15,526,590 of the additional stock, were distributed pro rata to the stockholders. Hence, in the general
statement now presented, the item of the Atlantic & Pacific
Telegraph Company stock is taken out of the list of assets and
charged with the funds appropriated out of net profits. The
remainder of assets, now aggregating over sixteen and a half
millions, is credited by the fifteen and a half millions which have
been capitalized by the stock dividend. These assets have an
actual value much greater than the cost value at which they

were stated."

The retiring members of the board are Joseph Harker,
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Wilson G. Hunt, George M. Pullman,
John R. Duff, Oliver H. Palmer, Samuel A. Munsen (dead),
Anson Stager. Henry M. Phillips and Samuel F. Barger. After
the election the new board of directors held a meeting at which
all the old officers were re-elected, as follows
President, Dr.
Norvin Green ; Vice-Presidents, Thomas T. Eckert, John Van
Home, Augustus Schell and Harrison Durkee ; Secretary, A. B.
Brjwer; EiecntiTe Committee, Norvin Green, Thomas T.

"Since the last meeting of stockholders, which approved and
ratified the contracts before referred to, further contracts have
been made with the Northwestern Telegraph Company, absorbing by lease for ninety-nine years their lines, properties and
franchises in Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, and on the
Northern Pacific
Railroad; with the Great Northwestern
Telegraph Company of Canada, sub-leasing to that company
the lines acquired from the Dominion Telegraph Company
west of the province of New Brunswick, and, with said list-

sota Railroad Ccmpany, now the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railroad. The suit was begun in 1868 to foreclose the third
mortgage, covering $2,000,000 of the bonds of the old La Crosse
Milwaukee Railroad, which has been absorbed by the Milwaukee & Minnesota Company. These bonds^had been disposed
of to William Barnes and other New Yorkers by the trustees of
the road in 185SI. The decision is to the effect that the defendant had proved to the satisfaction of the Court that of the
?2,000,000 bonds |1 ,740,800 were either converted into stock of
the new company or otherwise canceled and destroyed.
As to
the remaining |259,200 bonds, the Judges intimate in their
decision that they may be barred by the lapse of time or other
cause, but deemed it proper to give the parties an opportunity
to introduce further testimony. An order was made giving
the defendant the right to file an answer as to these bonds, and
parties thereafter to introduce such proof as may be advised.

International & Great Northern,— A press dispatch from
Houston, Texas, says: " Jay Gould's ninety-nine year lease of
the International & Great Northern Railroad lines in Texas
has just been recorded in the County Clerk's office here. The
lease was signed in New York, September 5. by Thomas W.
Pearsall, Vice-President, and another, for the " International,

The lease covers seven distinct lines, including the exten7.
sion to Laredo, amounting in all to 622 miles. Gould binds

himself or the Missouri Kansas & Texas, or more properly the
Missouri Pacific, to use the income of the leated lines for
three thingt— first, payment of operating; second, necessary
expenses of the company; third, payment of interest on bonds.'"

of directors, and various other protests.
All these protests
were submitted without argument. The inspectors, in announcing the result, stated that they had not included in their count
bonds to the amount of $872,000, presented by Garrett & Sons
but not registered in their name, preferring not to pass upon the
question of their right to vote these bonds. The result was

declared as follows:
For Jay Gould, Russell Sage, Sidney Dillon and Solon Humphreys, 120,914 shares.
For J. L. Donaldson of Baltimore, H. Pearson of London, F
Jansen of Louisville and T. Harrison Garrett of Baltimwe*
153.552 shares.
The latter were declared elected. The new board organized
by the election of W. T. MeClintock as President, and the other
officers the same as last year, except that A. Donald-^jon
was
chosen Auditor and Assistant Secretary instead of E. K. Punnett
The^ committee appointed to carry out the plan for taking the
road out of the hands of the Receiver decided to proceed immediately with their task. The committee is composed of
T
MeClintock, Chairman; T. H. Garrett, Treasurer; and W.'w!
Scarborough. The general features of the plan are the execution of a mortgage for $15,000,000, and the issuance of five
per
cent bonds in such quantities as may be required from time to
time. The amount neces.sary to take the road out of the hands
of the Receiver is stated to be $2,000,000, and this would be
the
limit of the first issue of bonds.
Judge Harmon, of the Superior Court, on the morning of the

the majority in interest of the stockholders of the Panama
Railroad Company and the Universal Inter-Oceanic Canal Association.
The stock of the Panama Railroad Company has been
sold to the Canal Association at $250 per share, and the further
gross sum of $1,102,000, or $15 74 per share. Stockholders representing 02,000 of the 70,000 shares of capital stock havesubscribed to the agreement lodged with the trust company,
and have received the first instalment of $57 40 per share. The
trust company has issued engraved certificates for the Panama
stock surrendered, setting forth the beneficial interest vested in
the respective holders under the agreement, and the amount of
the instalment provided to be paid on surrender of the stock
has been indorsed thereon. As subsequent instalments arepaid by the trust company to the holders of its beneficial certificates, the indorsement of said payments will be made upon
their face. These ceitificates are transferable under the usual
conditions applicable to stock of other railroad corporations j

and such

transfers, payments of successive instalments, and
interest dividends, will all be made at the office of the trust

company.
Philadelphia & Readinff.- At the closing of the books there
were 40,000 shares in Mr. Vanderbilt's name. It is not known
which side he will favor in the election, but Mr. Gowen says
positively that Mr. Vanderbilt will aid in constructing the line
north from Williamsport to connect the system cf the New
York Central directly with that of the Reading. Philadelphia
will therefore become a terminus of the whole system of the
New York Central Railroad, and the Reading will have the
benefit of all these lines as distributors of coal. Mr. Bond
and Mr. Gowen each claims that he will be successful in the
January election. The Philadelphia Ledger says " In the
approaching contest for the president and managers of the
Reading Railroad only such stock can be voted as has been registered in the names of its holders for at least three calendar
months prior to the election. All stock that may be transferred from now until January next, when the election is held,
will be disfranchised.
When the Reading election was held, on
March 14 last, there were 683,663 shares of common and preferred stock altogether, bnt of this amount no less than 218,958
:

shares were disfranchised by having been transferred within
three months. When the Reading books closed last Saturday
the main fact demonstrated was that a considerable amount of
stock heretofore held in England had been sent to this
country and was now held here.
The English list, which
in March last contained 333,623 shares of common stock,
now foots up bnt 266.850 shares. The New York list has
increased from 186,666 shares then to 239,889 shares now,
and the Philadelphia list from 136,368 shares then to
149,822 shares now.

On Saturday there were imporMonday a further reducOn Tuesday the opening

was again weak, followed by a rally and a dearer closing, in
sympathy with an upward turn to the Liverpool market. On
Thursday there was a good deal of buying on Southern and
We'ttern account, which, with a much better market at Liverpool,
caused a smart advance, but the demand fell off later in the
day and most of the early advance was lost. The receipts at the
ports, though pretty free, showed a marked falling off from last
year, notwithstanding the recent rise in the tributary rivers of

the South. The reports froin the Southern exchanges for September were made pubic on Monday and were very unfavorable
to a full yield, but they had little or no effect. To-day there was
a decided decline under the free receipts at the ports and libeial

Since that

only source of disaster. Of coarse there are local exceptionn

Furthermore, every observer knows that the harm done from
the shedding of a well-started cotton plant is usually very
deceptive or misleading. This is especially true when the plant
has been previously in excellent condition and thickly fruited,
for in that case the immense number of bolls on the ground
leads one quickly to the conclusion that there is next to nothing left. It is unnecessary, however, to enlarge on that feature, as we have explained It fully elsewhere, and on many
occasions.

—The weather has been unusually warm during

the month. The rainfall has been excessive. The meteorological conditions have been quite favorable to the agricultural

during this month.
AtJanta, Oa.--Tbe weather during the pa.st month has been
favorable for the maturing'of late crops, such as pease, potaU>es,
and late cotton. The caterpillar is committing greater ravage
in this section at present than for many years past.
Cedars Keys, i^a.— There were very heavy thunder Btorms,
with large amount of precipitation on the 16th and 30th. The
raipfall on the 16th reached 4-49 inches.
ilontgnmery, A!n.—'So rain fell on the first 13 davs of the
month, and there w.os much complaint from planters tnat crops
were being injured for want of it.
Mobile, ulta.— Heavy rains durincr the latter part of the
month.
Little Rock, ^IrA;.— The prospects at the beginning of
August were as propitious as I ever saw. During Augu.st we
had excessive heat and drought. I report rain in August on 5
davs, yet on 3 of these it was a sprinkle hardl v perceptible; on Slst
only eight hundredths of an inch; on the 29th one inch and four
hundredths. September was little less than a continuation of
the weather daring August, except that from the 15th to 19th

Nashville, Tenn.—Thu following reporta have been received
relative to the severe drought
Wartraee, 12th inst.— The ground in so hard as almoet to
suspend the turning of stubble and clover land pmparatory to
sowing wheat. A few energetic fanners are still conllnalng to
plow, but it is under great difflcnlties.
Castralian Spriny.i, 13th inst.— We have bad no raia,
except a few light showers, since (he first day of July. Crops
of corn are lighter than they were la 1864. Many fields will not
yield one barrel per acre, and a few that were planted will not
vield anything. The grass is all gone, and many famiem have
begun to feed their 8t*)ck. Water is scarcer than it was daring
the memorable drought of 1854. Springs here which at that
time afforded a plentiful supply are now dry. The clover is
believed to be all allied by the drought.
Nasliville, Tetin. FrostH were reported from Waverly and
White Oak. 60 miles west of Nashville, on the 17th. Thermometer at sunrise 44.
The severe drought of two and one-half months duration
terminated on the 15th iii.st., the rainfall at this point reaching
4"50 inches, and at Murfreesboro it reached nearly 6 inches.
The rainfall for the present month has been higher than for
any September since the establishment of the Signal Station.
The mean temperature has also been remarkably high.

therefore, need extend no further back than that.

it
but in the light of present facts, could it have been
dry enough to kill the plant, or make any such loss in
the crop as is now claimed? As these lignres are simply what

We

the instruments register, there can be no dispute about them.
With the light tbey shed, one can scarcely help concluding that
we must look elsewhere than to drought for the harm claimed in
at least the Atlantic States and in Alabama. With regard to a
good part of Tennessee, northern Louisiana, northern Texas and
a part of Arkansas, there was a less rainfall, and in some porTemperations of those sections the drought was severe.
ture was also everywhera very high in its extreme, making
dry weather more harmful; but the average, though above
the cool summer of last year, was not high except in a
few of the sections mentioned where the rainfall was smallest.
Now, if one will put these facts in connection with the excellent start and healthy condition in July, it will be a puzzle to
make out the basis for the harm indicated in the Cotton
Exchange reports we publish to-day.
There is another feature which is worth mentioning, and
which will grow in interest day by day. We refer to the
nature and extent of the picking season. First, it began
earlier than last year say a week to ten days— and has been
far better. We have »o'. space to go into the investixation
of this point fully, so ne do no more than barely suggest
hoping the reader will pursue the matter for himit,
.self.
Take the Southwest, for instance, we will find that
allowing for the earliHr start in picking, and in general the
less namber of rainy davs, there must have been up to the
first of October probably two weeks more of picking than
We have grouped those States in the following,

Sonth Carolina. 62 replies from 29 counties.
The reports about the character of the weather during ScDtembcr are
about equally divided, one-half of the correspondents glvliig unfavorable accounts and one-hiilf favorable. Those rejiortiug unfavorably
complain chiefly of wind and lain storms, affecting more the quality
than the quantity of the cotton, deteriorating the grade and making It
stained. All, without exception, represent the daiiiago done by drouth
and rust to be quite as serious as estimated iu last month's reports,
while the new feature in this month's replies is the almost general complAlnt of damage by storms and worms. From a few counties the top
crop is reported as almost entirely destroyed by caterpillars, while most
of the correspondents state that worms have only just now made their
appearance and have done but little damage so fur. The cotton Is
stated to be fruiting well by 21, while 41 report the contrary. Twentysix reply that the plant lias retained its squares and bulls and 30 that it
hai not. The proportion of the crop already picked Is estimated by 13
at one third, by 22 at one half, by 15 at two thirds, and by 11 at seven
eighths. The estimates of the yield per acre vary from 200 pounds to 750

The weather has been dry and warm during the past month, and
favorable to picking, but unfavorable to the advancing, maturing and
growing of fie bolls. The plant has been retarded by drouth, and
injured in the sandy lands by rust, and all over the State the young an4
tender late planting hjw been injured by worms. The plant is small and
well formed considering its size. About three eighths of the crop havo
been gathered. The yield will probably average 100 pound-* of lint
cotton to the acre— compared with last year's, about 15 per cent loss.

About all our correspondents report the weather as hot and dry in the
half of the month. After the 18th there were showers, and lu some
cases heavy rains and windstorms. Eighteen reports state the weather
as favorable and 27 as unfavoralile. The miyorlty specify, however,,
that It was favorable for picking, but was unfavoral>le for any growth
ordevelopmeutof the plant, and that the rains came too late to do any
material good. The reports of damage by drouth are almost universal,
though many correspondents report this damage to havo maluly occurred before September. Only 6 report damage by worms, aud not to
any great extout 1 reports 10 percent. The damage by storms has
been mainly to the quality of crop, though some was blown out. Tho
plant according to most of our corre8p<mdents, though small, fruited
well in the early jiart of the season, but, owing to the incessant hot
weather and want of moisture, it became stuuted and stcippcd growing,
especially on light high-land soils. Last month hardly any progress is
reported. Only 8 correspondents report the plant as having retained
Its fiult well, and even these state that many young squares were shed.
The balance universally report great shedding and drying up on all
•ioept stroufi and bottom ItanXa. Five correspondents report one fourtu

According to the above we must conclade that there is some
many of the reports. In the Atlantic States we see
that although the picking season began earlier there is as
much left to pick as there was last year, and yet the estimate
2-18 317 4-66 4-41 4-49 2-83 of the crop is from 15 to 40 per cent less. But we have not
