Tlie returns of exchanges for tlie week ending October 12.
are of a favorable character, and in the aggregate exhibit a
decline of only twenty-five millions of dollars from the very
fall figures of the first week of the month, and the greater
part of it is outside of New York. Speculation has been more
active on the Stock Exchange in this city, and the dealings on
the Cotton and Produce Exchanges have lieen heavier than
they were in the previous week.
Instituting comparison with the corresponding period of
1888, it is seen that there i« a gain at New York of 14-2 per
cent, and that in the whole country the increase reacnes

the New York totals in each year, we find that the clearings
in this city due to other business this year are $547,475,374,
and that they exliibit an increase over like figures for 1888 of
0-5 per cent.
Tiiirteen cities record losses from the week of
last year, but aside from those at Duluth, Los Angeles,
Norfolk and St. Joseph, they are unimportant. On the other
hand heavy gains are exhibited at Fort Worth, Galveston,
Dallas, Des Moines, Columbus, Denver, Louisville and Wichita.

CLEARING HOUSE RETURNS.

New York

The weekly bank clearmgs at New York and other cities are
made up by the various clearing houses each Saturday noon.
That fact makes it imposssible for us to cover the current

Salen

week's returns, as we go to press Friday night; so to keep the
record accurate we are compelled to give the figures of the
previous Saturday in the detailed statement, which is the
second table of this article.
At the same time, that our readers may gain some idea of
the current week's lousiness, we obtain each Friday by telegrapli the clearings for five days of six of the more important
clearing houses, which together with New York figures make
up about 89 per cent of the total for all the clearing houses
for the same five days included in the full statement. To this
we add in a lump the returns for the other cities (which average only about 11 per cent of the whole) for the same five days
o.f the previous week, and that gives us a five-day total which
must be substantially correct for the whole country. For the
sixth day, to bring the statement up to a full week's operations, we add about one-fifth of the previous total, making
allowance only when the transactions at the New York Stock
Exchange are alwve or below the average. The final result
is an approximate statement of what the full six days' clearings for the whole country will aggregate when tlie week's
statement is made up Saturday noon. Prepared in this manner it will be seen, accordfng to the table which follows, that
the clearings for the five days have been in the whole country
$909,3-11,317 this week against $801,446,687 last year
and
adding about a fifth to each of these for the additional day tlie
return for tlie wliole country for the week ending to-day at
noon is approximately $1,237,439,869, against $1,085,125,544 the
corresponding week last year.

the indebtedness of tlie owners of houses and lands is enormous, and the speculation in them has been carried beyond all

Situation.
The
Stock Exchange markets have been (juite irregular the past
The money market has again worked closely, and
week.
there have been important events which liiul a direct bearing
upon the values of certain stocks chief among these events
Ix'iiig the issue of the Atchison plan and the Northern Pacific
election and partial change of management.
The Drincipal sensation was, of course, the famous Atchison plan, which came out on Tuesday, and Las certainly been
received with much favor, when we consider the many and
diverse interests to be satisfied. There is one argument in regard to the exchange of bonds which is forcible throughout
the list of s?curities affected, and that is that the market price
of the new fours and new incomes to be given will probably
I)e high enough to enable the present holders in nearly every
case to realize and get as much in cash as their holdings are
now worth or likely to be worth in the future. In other words,
going right to the point of the matter, every holder can probably get more by accepting the plan than he could possibly get
by rejecting it. If the project goes right on to sjieedy completion, as now seems lisely, the Atchison stock will be removed as an incubus from our market, over which it has hung
with ever threatening aspect since it touched the high-water
mark of recent years at llOJg in June, 1887.
The Northern Pacific election removes another uncertainty
from the market (uncertanities are the bane of healthy stock
operations), and places this very important company fully
under the control of Mr. ViUard and his associates.
The money question is always one in regard to which it is
difficult to predict with safety, but it seems highly probable
that the rates now i-uling will draw funds towards this centre
if they keep up.
With any reasonable assurance of a good
supply of money at rates not over 6 per cent, and with the
prosjject for activity in railroad freight, and in general business, the outlook seems to favor a strong market in the long
run, provided we have no clouds looming up in the financial
horizon, of which there is at the present moment no outward

paper isquctedat

In railroad bonds there has been little feature. Business

have recovered somewhat since the publication of the Atchison plan of reorganization.

Kailroad and .Miscellaneous Stocks. With only a moderate
business the stock market has continued irregular and some-

what

erratic in its movements.
There have been wide fluctuations in a few stocks subject to sjieculative influences, but
there has been little news of a general character, the depression, wherever it has occurred, beiiig chiefly traceable to
special causes or to bear pressure, 'nght money has again
helped the bear side, and this, in the absence of any active bull
movement and with the downward turn in certain specialties,
has given rather an appearance of weakness to the market.
Tlie Atcliison plan, which was published early in the week,
has naturally attracted a great deal of attention, and on the
whole has been well received. The stock advanced on its
issue, and has held its pi-ice with much steadiness, as there is
great satisfaction that no cash assessment is forced on the
stockholders. The rights to subscribe to new bonds sold first
at J^. and were tlien advanced to Jg, but have reacted a little.
The grangers have been rather weak and unsettled, led by

Burlington & Quincy and St. Paul, though there has been
nothing in particular to account for their decline, except perhaps the bearishness of the Chicago operators.
Quite suddenly and unexpectedly Northern Pacific preferred
developed great weakness on Tliursday, declining to 71 J^.
This was the more surprising from the fact that the meeting
resulted, as expected, in a complete victory for Mr. Villard,
and a resolution was adopted recommending
the
Directors
to
pay as soon as possible all that
new
is
stock
under
the
due to the
preferred
was that the
financial plan. The theory of the Street
decline resulted from the selling by parties who were dissatisfied with the change
to-day the price recovered and closed at
733^. Another weak stock was Missouri Pacific, which declined
on large sales to 68)^. but with some recovery afterward.
Among the coalers, Lackawanna has been active and Reading
moderately so, with the tendency downward in 8ymi>athy
with other leading stocks.
On the other hand, a few specialties have been quite strong
Chios
at times, including C. C. C.
St. L., the Chesapeake
and Manhattan Elevated, and to-day, Friday, there was a better tone all around, the market closing dull but strong.
The Trust stocks have continued to attract a go<id deal of
attention, and dealings in Sugar and Cotton-Oil have Ijeen veiy
heavy. Rumors have been plenty, though de inite information 18 not obtainable. In the case" of Sugar Trust, which declined over 10 points, to 72V^, it was rumored that a large
amount of stock had been sold by an insider; the price recovered and closed at 78 to-day. Cotton-Oil has also been weak,
though not as low as in the previous week.

chances in a general disintegm'iorr and bankruptcy x>t
the system. Even the holders of the old first mortgage 7 per
cents, whose position is strongest, will receive bonda which
on a low estimate of market values will probably sell for more
than their present bonds.
A second point of great importance is the fact that there is no assessment on the stock
not that the stock is unduly favored, since all the new income
bonds are placed ahead of it but that such stock assessments
are almost invariably apj)lied to paying off in full the floating
obligations run up by the Directors and for which the notes
are usually held by themselves or their friends. The new four
i

—

per cents will be

strict

gold bonds.

There was in 1886 and 1887 an undue extension of the Atchison system by an over-sanguine management, but from the
time that earnings began to fall off and all through the dark
days of 1888 the holders of stock and bonds were fairly and
honorably dealt with, and the great decline in net earnings was
faithfully given out from mouth to month. Then the bankers
and f rioiids of the company stepped in and advanced $10,000,000
ou second mortgage notes to meet the interest payments in
full, until it should be demonstrated that the company certainly could not earn its charges.
Upon the whole, there seems to be every reason why the
plan should be quickly accepted by stock and tend holders;
first, because they will get more than they could by any other
means, and, secondly, because they have every reason to believe that the managers will thoroughly keep faith with them
and endeavor to protect their interests.
« liicago
St. Panl & Kansas Citjr.— Holders of about four
millions of bonds ha'-e so far sent in their assent to the plan
recently formulated. Messrs. Pemter & Boyle, of Loudon,
imder date of Sept. 18th. w rite, in reference to the Minnesota
& Northwestern bonds, that they have further considereil the
position of affaire, and have had the opportunity of examining
the trust deed, and after communication with a number of
bondholders, have come to the conclusion that the interests as
well as the legal rights of all concerned will be best served by
theu- assenting to the scheme proiwsed by the company and
recommended by Messrs, R, Benson & Co,, endorsed as it is
by Messrs, Hope of Amsterdam,
Nashville Chattanooga & St. T.onis Railway.—The gross
and net earnings and charges for September, and for the three
months of tlie fiscal year, were as follows

(For the year ending May 31, 1889,^
The annual report says that as there is a large com crop this
Missouri and Iowa, but also throughout
year not only
Nebraska, it may fairly expect to do considerably better the
current fiscal year tliaii ever tefore. The litigation in which
the company was interested has progressed satisfactorily. As
the result of the suits to ascertain the amount of equipment
to which tills company is entitled, it has obtained jjossession
of a large numter of cars and locomotives, the estimated
aggregate value of which is about §400,000, more than is
needed for its use, and some of them will be sold and the
proceeds applied to betterments. The Master in Chancery has
reported the amount due this company from the Wabash for
equipment to be $68,126.
" In the suit of the Trustee, under the Omaha Division
mortgage, for the recovery of $223,075 as rental for the use of
the division while in the hands of the Waba.sh receivers,
namely, frou Octoter t, 1884, to March 6, 1886, Judge Brewer
has recently awardcil the Company $16,765 as rental for a
small i)ortion of that period, but has distllowed the balance of
the claim. Upon a similar application, however. Judge
Gresham decided that the Wabash receivers were Uable for
their use of one of the loiised lines in Illinois for the entire

decision,"

consider that the examination, which it was
their duty to make, has now been so complete as to justify
them in laying before you, without further delay, a detailed
jdan for ths re-orga\iization of your property on terms as just
and reasonable as circumstances permit, and calculated to restore the Company to good credit and prosperity.
It is well known to you th^t the property of the Atchison
Company is situated in many different States and Territories,
and that the system is, in fact, a combination, more or less
close, of various railway and other companies intended to
contribute, directly or indirectly, to the resources of the one
main and controlling corporation.
It has been the object of your Directors to connect the separate properties more closely than before, so as to facilitate
the introduction of economies in working them, to consolidate the system and make the whole more valuable, and, with
the judicious expanditure of new capital for the repair, improvement and completion of the properties, to secure an
increase in gross and net earnings to the Company at a miniof expense of operations.
To accomolis:i these results, it is proposed to issue new One

This income bond it is proposed to issue to provide for such
reductions of interest upon present bonds as it is found necessary to make in order to bring the fixed charges of the Company within its earning jwwer.
The general mortgage bonds and income bonds will be
issued in denominations of not less than §1,000.
In forming the bases for the scales of the various bond
issues under the projwsed exchange, your Directors have
given careful consideration to all interests and they believe
that they are now able to present the matter in a manner
which treats all holders equitably.
They assure you that they are assiduously and so far successfully engaged in carrying out judicious economies and
arrangements for development of business, and they confidently appeal to the holders of all classes of securities to come
forward at this crisis and protect their property from the disaster of disintegration and brinkruptcy.
They therefore beg to call your attention to the Plan of
Rr-oroanization as hereinafter explained to you in detail,
and (hey feel it necessary to state in the strongest terms tliat
the non-success of this proposal will inevitably result in foreclosure with all its attendant misfortunes.

A

strong impulse has been given to regular trade by seasonable weather. Manufactures are active, and lab»r very fully
employed, leaving little room for disputes about wages
but
there seems to be some over-production of cotton and worsted
fabrics, and an important failure in the latter branch of business has occurred this week in Philadelphia. Cotton continues to go forward freely, but the export of breadstuCFs,
though steady, is not active.
Lard on the spot has been without decided change in respect
to prices, but the tone showed less buoyancy and the demand
somewhat fitful, closing to-day rather quiet at 6-85c. for prime

The speculation in lard for future delivery
was dull until to-day, when there was a pretty fair business
done, including October delivery at 6-65c., November at 6-42

report, dated

September 10, says:
Crop reports this week are nt a, much more favor iililo (Jescriptlon than
those of lust wi-ek. The Oorara districts are now In tlrst-rate onlor, anil
the one district that complained of too much rain last we^k has now the
weather tlie crops require, and the whole of the Oomra crop could not
be better than at, prcs'-nt. Broach continues to send favorable reports,
and the plants are in cool condlilon and growing well. Dhollora
districts: Tlie required change
the w<'ather has taken place, and
Bhownne-g. r and Wudwan both got rain. More rain is still needed
about Bbowntigger, and although the plants are strong and healiliy, yet
more moisture is re<iuired to nake the crop safe. The Bengal crop Is
progressing f.vorably. Taking the vailoU'i districts all round, the
general cnditlon Is very favorable, and should we get a contiimanee of
as favtral.le weather as hitherto, a large and good yield should result.

m

Jute Butts, Baooino, &c.— There has been a fair demand
for bagging since our last report, and the market is firm in
tone, with sellers quoting 8%(a 10%c. as to quality. Only a light
inquiry is reported for jute butts, and beyond a few jobbing
transactions we hear of no business. Piices are nominal at
l-TOcglp.^c. for pajxir grades and 2*2Mc. for bagging quality.
Shippino News.— The exports of cotton from the United
States the past week, as per latest mail returns, have reached
147,316 bales. So faras the Southern ports are coccerned. these
are the same exports reported by telegraph and published in
the CnwjNiCLE last Friday. With regard to New York we
include the manifests of all vessels cleared up to Thursday.

Below we give

all

vessels carrying cotton

news received to date of disasters
from United States ports, &c.

to

Amy Dora, steamer (Br.)—Tug Thomas A. Bain, with a barge In tow
loaded with over 600 hales of cotton from the stranden steamer
Amy Dora, arrived at Norfolk, Ocbiber 10, from Waahaprague; she
returned again on the 13'h, having in tow barge Haggerty. with
367 bales of cotton, and tie schooner Riyidan arrived with 160
bales of cotton. About two. thirds of the oariro of the steamer has
been taken out. The btorm on the coast is llvol? from the north,
and the probability is it will cause the loss of the steamer. The
wreckers depended on a continuance of the goodweathtr to save
her.

CARLTON, steamer (Br.)— Fire broke out, Sept. 16, midnight, on steamer
Carlton, loading cotton at Savannah, for Liverpool, but was
extlngui-hed morniag of ITtli. She has 3,700 bales on board, but
the Are w.as confined to the forward compartment, in which were
800 to 1,000 bales.
„ ,,

—a tire broke out in the cotton cargo of steamer Ka> le,
while lying .it Trower's Landing, Ga., October 7. Seventeen bales
of cotton were rolled overboani, but rocovere<l and loft at the
above landing; twenty-three hales, partly damaged, were taken to
Savannah and a survey held on theai the surveyor reoommendert
that they be sold for the benotlt of all concerned.

during the period of activity last week, so there is no decided
decline during the more recent dulness. Still, to do business
on a liberal scale, concessions to buyers have been necessary.
To-day the market continued dull and weak.
The speculation in wheat has been fairly active, showing
at times some excitement, the result of an animated contest
between " bulls ' and "bears" for the control of the markets, but the advantage has generally been with the latter,
the decided break in the range of values which took place at
the date of our last having been foUowf d by some further
decline, attended by merely fitful and partial recoveries.
The depressing influences have been mainly from the West,
for the spot hss been fairly active at full prices, and the
foreign advices steady or stronger. The business on the spot
has been mainly for local milling and included fair to fancy
red winter at 82@92J^c., and prime to choice No. 1 spring at
91}^@97i^c. To-day there was a further decline in futures
and a very unsettled market, under free receipts at the
Northwest. There was some buying for Lisbon?.

Yoke, Friday

P. M,, October 18, 1889.

Business in the wholesale branches of th j trade was fully
is usually witnessed at this stage of the season, the
activity of the distributing trade in the interior having been
reflected in the numerous re-orders for fall and winter goods
which were received by mail and telegraph. The outcome
of the fall businf 33 has been so satisfactory to jobbers through.
out the country that they are making liberal provision for
next season, and very good orders for certain spring and
as good as

summer

fabrics were placed (for later delivery) with domestic
commission houses and importers. The jobbing trade was
only moderate as regards transactions with buyers on the
spot, but the order demand by mail and wire was of very fai^

proportions.

An

event of the week was the failure of the
large jobbing and retail house of Lessing, Solomon, Rosenthal
& Ck),, Waco, Texas, with liabilities approximating one million dollars.

of the New York exports since January 1 have
been |6,677,397 in 1889, against |7,164,55l in 1888.
At first hands the demand for staple cotton goods was characterized by a good deal of irregularity, but a fair business
was done in Pome descriptions, and the tone of the general
market continues steady. Operations on the part of jobbers
were seemingly gauged by immediate requiremeifte, but converters and cutters were freer buyers, and the export demand
was better than of late. Fine yarn brown sheetings were in
fair request, but coarse yarn goods ruled quiet.
Bleached
shirtings, cambrics, wide sheetings, cotton flannels, corset
jeans and satteens were taken in relatively small parcels to a
fair amount, and napped fancy domets continued active,
while there was a somewhat improved business in certain
makes of colored cottons. White goods were in good demand,
and there was an active businesa in some sorts of patterned
fabrics for next spring, as fine sateens, ginghams and other
woven wash fabrics, challies, lawns, &c. Print cloths were
in fair demand, and the market closed steady at 3J^c. for
64x64 " spots" and 3@3 l-16c. for 56x608.

Foreign Dry Goods The demand for foreign goods of a
seasonable character was steady though moderate, and very
fair orders for certain spring and summer fabrics were placed
(for future delivery) with importers of British and Continental goods. Prices of imported goods are generally firm
both here and at the sources of supply abroid, a sharp advance in some sorts of raw materials as mohair and alpaca
wools in particular having caused importers to decline
further orders save at higher figures than were asked a short

quiet.

Prices of men's-wear woolens are fairly steady, but in
many cases unremunerative to the mills, and another failure
was reported during the week, the firm of Clark
Keen
(Untario Mills), Philadelphia, having been compelled
to suspend payment. Satinets were in light demand, but Kentucky
jeans contmued quiet. Fancy cloakings were in fair request,
and there was a limited business in stockinets and Jersey
cloths
Soft wool and worsted dress goods were in good
demand for the spring trade, and there was a steady call
at first
hanas for small duplicate parcels of goods required for immediate distribution.
Flannels, blankets and carpets were in
light request by wholesale buyers, but a fair
distribution of
these goods was made by jobbers, and prices remain
steady.
DoMBSTic Cotton Goods.— The exports of cotton goods
from this port for the week ending October 15 were 2
358
packages, valued at |164,196, their destination being
to the
points specified in the table below
