last year, whilst those of flour were 955,000, against 878,000
cwts.
In the first four weeks of the season the import of
wheat and fiour have been about 1,394,000 cwts. below last
year's total. There is every prospect of this deficiency widening.
The quantity of grain on passage keeps below last year's
total and Ameru^an shipments are, as heretofore, rentricted.
The general trade revival which appears to have commenced
in the United States cannot fail to ultimately influence the
grain markets. It will cause a more confident tone to assert
itself, and as more hopeful anticipations are indulged in, so
will wheat be held for higher .values. This cannot be carried
out without infiuencing our market, but the drawback to
any appreciable advance at an early date exists in the dis-
inclination shown by millers to allow their dealing to exceed
the limit of actual reiiuirements.
Possibly they are still relying upon the expectation that their continued abstention from.
dealing will tire out
weak growers, compelling them
to sell,
and thus play into their hands.

The Money Market and Financial Situation Tlio moveracnt at the Stock Exohango lias absorbed all attention tlii.s
week. It is safe to say that the porsistont buoj'ancy and generally contidcnt tone have not been matched in the jiast two
years perhaps not since the disastrou.s 2nd of July, 1881. The
important feature of the present movement, in which it ailTers
from the temporary spurts which have so frequently been witncwed, con.sists in its broadness; that is, the buyers and the
believers in the advance, comprise not only the strong operators of theStreetwiththeir following, but also a greater number
of outside investors ana conservative speculators than liave been
in the market at one time during the past two or three years.
What can be said, then, of the permanence of the rise and
In answer
• the extent of the real basis wliich it has to rest on ?
to this query, it is useless to attempt any reply which will be
so close as to tell just what the course of prices will be tomorrow or next week; but, abandoning such n;irrow limits and
taking a more general view, the situation may be summed up
as follows
1. Under the influence of the crisis of 1884 and the extended
railroad war, prices of stocks and bonds became abnormally
—
depressed.
3. Aside from the commercial depression, with its various
concomitants, the railroaa wars would have been sufficient to
cause great loss of income to the i)rincipal companie.s, and no
rise in prices of securities could be well founded till those
difliculties were adjusted. They were practically adjusted by the
West Shoi-e Central-Pennsylvania negotiation.
3. After the settlement, the railroads require considerable
time to get in shape and increase their incomes to the old interest or dividend-paying basis; this time has not yet elapsed,
and they are not yet earning the expected dividends or interest.
Hence the present rise is so far based on hopes of future profits.
4. The speculative force on the bull side of the market has
been immense, and in addition to the Vanderbilt following,
there have been heavy pools in St. Paul, in Lackawanna, and
apparently in the Gould stocks, resulting in the recent failure
of two leading bear houses and a complete rout of the smaller
bears, with the usual result of large purchases to cover short sales.
5. The commercial situation throughout tlie country has undoubtedly much improved, and the distribution of goods for
the fall season was extremely satisfactory; but on the other
hand, prices are but little better, and in the iron trade pig iron
has scarcely advanced at all, while steel rails are perhaps $3
per ton hi^ther than the lowest point. An important matter for
the railroads is the low price of corn and wheat, whicli prohibits free shipments.
6. In conclusion, there is little more to say than that there
were good and substantial reasons for an advance even a large
advance in the prices of stocks and bonds, and those reasons
have not ])roved to be visionary or ill-founded. Hut granting this, has not the rise in most cases been sufficient, and has it
not already ''discounted" the favorable effects hoped for during
the next six months i We can give no definite reply to this
question, and if it has not any close bearing upon s[)eculative
dealings on margin, it is at least worth the attention of those
who buy for cash to hold for some time.
The open market rates for call loans durintr the week on
stock and bond collaterals liave ranged at 1@2 per cent and
to-day at 14@3. Prime commercial paper is quoted at 3@4i p. c.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a gain in specie of £81,200, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was
9-16, against Si last week; the discount rate
remains at 3 per cent. The Bank of France lost 7,301,000
francs in gold and 3, 100,000 francs in silver.
The New Vork Clearing House banks, in their statement of
Oct. 10, showed a decrease in surplus reserve of |1,34.>,775,
the total surplus being *40, 153,425, against $41,499.3U0, the

iscellaneous Stocks.— The stock market
for the past week has been a repetition of tliat of the week
before, and the upward movement kept on with unabated
force, prices continuing to advance under the influence of strong
bull points and the support of large 0|)crator3.
There are also
unmistakable indications of buying more largely on the part
of the outside pulilic, and many commissiion houses report
increased business from this source. Reactions have been more
pronounced, however, this week, and the net advance of the
leading active stocks is not so great as last. Many of the lowerpriced stocks have become prominent in the activity and
strength, and .some of these have made the greatest advances.
Erie stock has been conspicuous in this way, on rumors of the
Vanderbilt interest going into the directory.
.
Much has been said about Western Union this week, and it
has been very actively dealt in, advancing in the early dealings
on rumors of a combination with Baltimore ic Ohio, and also
on account of large covering of shorts. Latterly, however, it
has been weak, leading the reaction which occurred on Thursday, partly in consequence of the unfavorable showing in the
company's annual report.
Ltckawanna has been
less active than it w.os last week, but
continues generally strong, as favorable reports are still made
of the condition of the coal trade.
Reading has not shared in
this strength, however, and has at times been very weak in
conse<juence of developments in connection with the reorganization.
Jersey Central has also felt this influence somewhat,
but both have recovered latterly.
The grangers have been among the strongest of the actire
stocks, anil bull points have come from Chicago, whence much
of the support for these stocks, particularly St. Paul, ha^
recently been derived.
To-day the activity was maintained, and the market gathered
strength as the day went on, closing at high prices both on
bonds and stocks.

"From January
1, 1881, to June 30, 1885, $6,369,945 were

telegraph and telephone stocks, real estate and other new
property. Of this, $1,229,915 (expended between January 1

prior to October 1, 1881— $1,000,000 were provided for by that
of bonds sold, and $4,324,004 have been advanced
(since October 1. 1881.) from the surplus June 30, 1885.
"The surplus of $4,324,004 is that shown in the quarterly
statement for June 30, and represents only the accumulated
surplus since October 1, 1881, when appropriations out of earnings for construction and new property were suspended. The
moneys necessary to meet these outlays have, nevertheless,
continued to be advanced from the treasury as a construction
loan for that amount, reserving the right to replace such advanc«8 from the sale of assets. The whole accumulated surplus smce the capitalization of previous surplus by the issue
and distribution of capital stock in January of 1881 is $5,702,224 balance. Of this surplus $5,369,945 has been invested in

Diego. The Railroad Gazette has the following comment :
" In an interview at St. Louis, President Strong is reported as
saying that the company's lines in Southern California are
progressing rapidly, »nd by Nov. 1 the Atchison will have its
own line into San Diego, At present there is no intention
of building northwest from San Diego, nor wfst from Mojave,
the junction point of the Atchison
Topeka and Atlantic
& Pacific's joint line from Albuquer<iue and the
Southern
Pacific,
nor will there be so long as the
present amicable relations between the three companies
continue.
Should there be any trouble between them,
and it should become necessary for the Atchison to compete
with the Southern Pacific for the North Pacific coast business, it could easily establish a line of steamers to run
from San Diego to all the coast points on the Pacific Slope,
but there are no indications that his company will be compelled to establish such a line. The Atchison now reaches the
Pacific coast by using the Atlantic
Pacific, in which line it
has a half interest, from Albuquerque to Mojave, a distance of
815 miles, and running from there over the Southern Pacific.
The line now building by the Atchison leaves the Atlantic
Pacific at Waterman, a point 70 miles east of Mojave, and
runs south from tliere to Cotton on the Southern Pacific. At
Colton connection is made with the California Southern. This
road was recently purchased by the Atchison. It runs due
south from Colton, 127 miles, to San Diego, its southern terminus. The distance between Waterman and Colton is 80
miles.
All but 15 of this has been graded. This gap will be
completed and the line in running order by Nov. 1. This will
give the Atchison a through Pacific coast line, and it will then
be in a position to compete for Southern California business
without dependence upon the Southern Pacific or any
' other
road."

estimate the net value of these securities; but, in
order to give some approximation, a rough vahie has been
difficult to
placed on them, by setting a price on such as had no market

persons, and possibly with good reason; but the estimate is
given for whatever it may be worth.

New York Central & Hudson.— Asa matter of form th»
following circular has been issued to the stockholders of this
company, but it is understood that the Vanderbilt and DrexelMorgan interests have enough proxies to control the vote. The
circular is as follows:
The directors of this company have deemrd It advisable to agree in
the event of the West Shore Railway being pui^jhased by the conimltte»
of creilitora of the road liaving tlui matter in charge to become les<e«»
of the road for a long term of venr.i, guiininteeing the payment of tb6
priucipal and interest upou $jo.000,000 of first mortgage bonds by way
of rental at 4 ptr cent interest per anniuo, the West Shore Company
tran.sferriiig to this company the whole of Its capital slock, amouutine
U) $10.0(0,000 at par.
The location of that road, connecting at every Important point witut
theNewYoik Central, made a legitimate competiou under separate
management iiniiossilile and a wasteful rivalry ineviiable. tending
everywhere ti pr >mote special rates and spe< i.u privileges deetructive
to both roads and dnlug the public no good. Tlie result was seen in tb»
almost immediate bankruptcy of the West Shore Company and a serioas
reductiou in the dividends of the Now York Central
Hudson Rlvec
&
Railroad Company.
It is believed that under the managi'meiit. with an economical adminUtratlon, upon the revival fif business, the incre.iaed facllllles which wo
can atfoid will enable the e(>mpany to render an etlicleut and acceptable
service 10 the public at euch cost as to give a fair remuneration to tlio
capital aecess.irily employed. It has been thought deslralile. I)eroro
completing this arrangement, to ask the stockholder.'* to ratify the action
of the directors by their votes at a meeting called for that purpose, to be
held on the 4th day of November, 1S85, at the dltloe of the company in

New York Central— South Pennsylvania.—The most interesting testimony yet given in the examination before Mr.
is that of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan.
From the
report in the N. Y. Tribune the following is condensed. Mr.
Morgan was sworn, and testified substantially as follows :
" When I came from Europe in June of this year I became
satisfied that it was necessary that something should be done
with a view to securing harmony among the trunk lines, anol
after conversation with various parties here, and also with
friends in London. I made up my mind that the principal
thing was to secure harmony between the Pennsylvania Central and tlie New York Central.
I met Frank Thomson,
Vice-President of the former, and asked him what could be
done toward bringing about a settlement. It was observed
that there were two sores that had to be healed one was the
West Shore and the other was the South Pennsylvania. I told
him I thought from my conferences with the New York Central people that they would be willing to take the West Shore
if the Pennsylvania was ready to take the South Pennsylvania.
Mr. Thomson said he did not tliink the thing could be done
Mr. Vanderbilt having seen fit to go
as matters stood then.
into Pennsylvania, he did not see why the Pennsylvania
people should give him back his money expended in the South
Afterward I had an interview with Mr.
Pennsylvania.
Depew on the suliji ct of the West Shore negotiations, and
also conversed with otl'.ers. OC course the New York Central
folks repudiated any idea of responsibility for what Mr. Van-
John H. Weiss
—
might do with his own money.
"Subsequently, it being believed that sufficient influence could
be brought to bear on Mr. Vanderbilt to induce him to supply
a majority or more of the South Pennsylvania fubscriptions, I
made a trip to Phila'dphia. That was early in July. I suggested to Mr. Roberts and Mr. Thomson that if the Pennsylvania Railroid Company was prepared to take the South Pennsylvania for bonds or any other security that bore three per

assuming that the sum would amount to $3,500,000 or
Mr.
1 thought the thing could be carried through.
Roberts doubted the policy or the ability of the Pennsylvania
Riiilroad Company, as 8U(Jh, to buy off or in any way interfere
1,200,000 with what might be considered rival roa^s.
Subse<(uently I

Trans-Continental assets. Against the total is an estimated
yacht, and replied:
df-bt of $11,000,000, leaving $32,443,178, or an amount equal to
••The result was that Mr. Roberts expressed his willingness
that the scheme should be carried our, provided 60 per cent
of the suVsciibers of the South Pennsylvania syndicate were
found willing to transfer their interest to me for a security
bearing the guarantee of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
for 3 per cent intenst and principal. This I gave him to
understand I had reason to believe could be done, though of
course I could not guarantee it.
'•Q.
What was Mr. Roberts to get what security, what
property? A. He was to get 60 per cent of the South Pennsylvania syndicate for the Pennsylvania Company, which I
understood owned or controlled the lines west of Pittsburg.
" In reply to an inquiry as to whether he ever received anything in the shape of authority from the board of directors of
the Pennsylvania Company, the witness said that he received
a letter dated August 3, signed by Mr. Roberts as President,
and he also received the bonds of the Bedford & Bridgeport
Railroad Company, which he continues to hold. A paper was
next submitted by the witnefs, to which were attached the
names of those members of the South Pennsylvania syndicate

Agricultural Department's Report.
the
full text of
)n for Oct.
— Below will be found
the Agricultural Department's report on cot-
1.
The high condition of cotton in June and July -was not
maintained in August and September.
Severe storms
and excessive rains have prevailed, rust has destroyed the
foliage, and worms have injured the fruit worse than for several years. Another fall in the average of condition has
occurred from 87 on the 1st of September to 78. The average
in October of the Census year was 81, and the ultimate yield
four-tenths of a bale. This year the greatest decline is in the
region of the highest rate of yield, reducing the relative production. The Department estimate of increase of area since
1879 is 26 per cent.
The returns relate both to condition and to prospective
yield per acre in hundredths of a bale. The figures must not
be considered final, as the date of killing frost and the autumn
weather may easily cause a variation of a quarter of a million
of bales. Condition, by States, is as follows: Virginia, 78; North
Carolina, 77; South Carolina, 79; Georgia, 87: Florida, 88;
Alabama, 81; Mississippi, 80; Louisiana, 77; Texas, 78; Arkan70; Tenne.ssee, 74.
The expected yields, -with average
future conditions, are: Virginia, 32-lOOths of a bale; North
Carolina, 38; South Carolina, So; Georgia, 35; Florida, 23:
Alabama, 30
Mississip])i. 41
Louisiana, 43
Texas, 38
Arkansas, 42; Tennesseee. 3i5 average, 'i^% hundredths of a
bale.
It indicates 1,000,000 bales more than the present crop,
subject to future meteorological conditions.
That the reader may have for comparison the condition,
according to the Agricultural Department, for October 1 of
previous years, we give the following, collated from its
sas,

Forsyth. (Ja.— The largest raiuf iill that has occurred iu any S'iptember
tlnce 1873. It has now ( jOth) been raining incessaatly five days. There
have been but two unclouded days during the month. The weather has
not been favorable for cotton, and there has been absolutely nothing
done for nearly a week iu the way of picking.
Arcker, fto.— Excessively wet month, and very damaging to cotton.
Tuscaloosa. Ala.— Rama heavy enough to beat out cotton in the fields.
Oraiul Ooteaii, La.— The amount of rain has injured the corn and
cotton crops in all this section of country. Planters say that the.y will
scarcely get 40 per cent of the crop, which but a month ago looked so
proml.-ing.

Taking the above figures for October, and adding them to
those for the previous months, we have the following comparison between this year and last year:
The following remarks accompany the month's -weather
areports for
September 1885
1885.
O.-We liare had a good deal of cloudy -weatlier during
from what I can learn it has been more favorable to
«otton than otherwise. Cotton is opening better than waa expected at
sBrst of month, and [ learn that picking is progressing very nicely.
Slaleburg. 8. C.-Tlie mouth li-.vs been very favorable to tlie cotton
>crop, having been exempt from heavy rainfalls and lilgh winds. At no
time has tlie wind attained a velocity of more than tifteon to twenty
anlles an hour
Savannah. Oct.—The country flooded and travel on Southern railroads
after the 28tli.
Columbus, Oa.— We still have gloomy accounts to give of the
«rop. You can po-aibly form some conception of it by the amount
rainfall given above. Reports are coming in freely of cotton rotting
:and sprouting In the flekl.^, bolue washed away by the overflowing of
«reek8 and rivers, &c. It would ouly be a guess as to the per cent of
tflamoge, but It is heavy for the month.
