retire now would be to retire with glory.
If vanity or
love of applause were dominant characteristics of Mr.
Gladstone’s nature, the opportunity would be found
tempting in the extreme.
There are, however, other considerations of a higher
character, which may have their influence in inducing him
to court retirement and the rest which it might afford.

mer, and the natural doubt which arose regarding the harvest
produced much caution in mercantile circles, and the business
in progress has, for some time past, been much of a hand-to-

mouth character.

It is not believed that the final settlement in Egypt will
bring about any serious difficulties. This is more especially
true as the European nations are so much engrossed with their
own affairs, and are exercising so watchful a control over each
other that no opportunity or occasion is likely to present itself
for meddling with a question which the Government of Great
Britain is only desirous of settling in a manner which shall
be satisfactory to all countries having an interest in
Egypt
and the Suez Canal. It is very clear that we are masters of the
position, and should the necessity arise, we should show very
promptly that we are capable of holding what we have virtually
acquired. But, on the other hand, it is more than probable that
when Mr. Gladstone makes his explanations to Parliament at
the autumnal session, no Continental Power will have cause
to complain, and perfidious Albion will not be found to be so
treacherous as Continental newspapers represent. There will
be a fair settlement, which should be
agreeable to all parties,
and one which we may hope at the conclusion of future wars
will be accepted as a
precedent.
Reverting to the money market, it may be observed that on
the “ fourth ” of the month—the
day upon which more than the
usual amount of inland
paper matures-the bills falling due
Were below the

The Board of Trade returns have been published

they shew no material variation compared with last year. The

Without any activity being apparent, the wheat trade
assumed a somewhat firmer appearance, but very great

has
diffi¬
culty is experienced in establishing a higher range of prices,
even

from the low rates

now

current.

British farmers

are

de¬

livering considerable supplies, the last weekly estimate being
230,000 quarters. This is about a moiety of our consumption,
but as we are importing each week as much as we require to
supply the whole country without internal assistance, it neces¬
sarily follows that stocks are accumulating and that millers
have the trade, in a very considerable measure, under their own
control. Any material improvement in the trade is scarcely
possible at present.

“Hod. John Jay Knox, Comptroller of tlio
Currency, recently addressed
communication to President Thompson of the Chose National
Bunk,
asking for advice in regard to tile practicability of a
clearing-house for
stocks in the event of an adverse decision
on the legality of ‘
accept¬
ances’ in lieu of ‘certifications’
recently adopted by national hanks
doing business for brokers. Mr. Thompson replied that he believed
a

such

a

clearing-house

could bo successfully organized, and
suggesting
as an alternative that
the ao.
or certifying banks reorganize as
8tate banks. Mr. Knox in his epting
letter advances as a solution or the diffi¬
culty that banks place to the credit of the parties the avails of
legiti¬
mate discounts within tiio limit
prescribed bv law, and certify checks
not in excess of the amount on
deposit, it is understood that the Attor¬

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—In the Btook market
there was continued
depression, with comparatively slight
reactions until Tuesday, when there was a considerable

strengthening of priceaand

a brighter prospect set in.
On
good buying of stocks and a firmer
tone, but much of the improvement was lost on Thursday, and
at the close the market was weak.
To-day the tone has been
quite variable and irregular, the Gould stocks being among
the weakest, as usually the case of late whenever it
appeared
to be desired that a
declining tendency should be given to the
market.
There has been nothing to
change the opinion
expressed last week that the general movements of the past
ten days indicated a
purpose by strong bear parties to sell the
market down, or rather to give it an appearance of
alarming
weakness with the sales of as few stocks as
possible to ac¬
complish that purpose.
As breadstuff's and provisions were
very high at this time in
1831, and grain, corn and cotton were then rushed forward to
market,,causing a heavy freight movement, it is to be expected
that

the later months from

November forward will show

a

larger increase in earnings over last year than August and
September have shown, and hence it may bo that our bears are
getting ready for a bull movement later on.
As to particular stocks, there have been few
developments of
fact and the rumors are hardly worth
noticing. The Court of
Appeals decision granting property owners along the lines of
the elevated roads a right of action for
damage to their prop¬
erty is considered important and eminently just,, ana the
stocks have declined.
The partial change in the Richmond &
Danville management has taken place, and at a
meeting of the
board, held in Richmond, Mr. Robert Harris, Vice-President
of the Erie Railroad, Mr. J. A. Rutherford and Mr. M.
Bayard

ment.

The General

Manager states that, owing to circumstances
entirely beyond the power of any one line of railway to
control, the war in rates was continued during nearly the entire
fiscal year, thus depriving the company of a very
large net
revenue.
Last year they received an average of $1 35 7-10 per
.ton on all freight moved; this year but $1 16 39-100
per too,
showing a loss of 19'31 cents per ton. This amount on 804,803
tons of freight moved shows a loss to the
company* in net
revenue

tons

of

of

$155,291.

There

was an

increase this year of 128,611

freight moved, which consisted largely of local

mer¬

chandise and west-bound traffic.
The explanations given for some of the
charges in earnings
are as follows:
“
Decrease of $77,183 in local freight revenues. This loss was
•attributable entirely to generally poor crops throughout the

grain belt tributary to

line.

The decrease in mileage
foreign lines, may be fairly
charged to two causes: First, the largely increased west-bound
traffic, coming to us almost entirely in foreign cars, which, for
want of facilities, and the necessity for
prompt delivery, pre¬
vented our transferring, and, second, the large and never before
seriously felt demand for the grain from our territory for the
extreme Southern markets. The want of
properly organized
freight lines for handling this traffic, with the consequent great
delay in getting our cars returned, prevented their earning
revenues from that direction.
The growing importance of this
road as a link in the great through lines from the East to the
West is well exemplified in the item of $96,221 increase iu
through or foreign revenues, this amount being largely derived
from earnings on west-bound traffic.”

currenceoflocal rains in various parts of the South, and
storms of some violence on the sea coasts seemed to have little
or no effect in supporting values.
Foreign advices were un¬
favorable, the movement of the crop continued to increase,
the Southern markets showed great weakness, as if antici¬
pating a great yield, and there was no withstanding these
influences.
But on Wednesday afternoon advices came of
continued rain in the Southwest, and the United States Signal
bulletined a report that severe cold had set in at the North¬
west, and that it was extending south and west. This report
coming upon stocks still small caused a brisk demand to cover
contracts, and much buying for the distant months, attended
by a recovery from the lowest figures of the day from 9 to 13
points. Yesterday, however, the expectation of frost reports
from the South were not realized, ana the decline fully equal¬
led the advance of Wednesday afternoon.
Tp-day there was
a buoyant opening and a material advance on reports of ex¬
cessive rains in the Southwest, but

The above statement shows—1. That the total

receipts from the

1881 were 1,171,534 bales; in 1880 were 1,280,420 bales.
2. That, although the receipts at the out-ports the past week
were 242,329 bales, the actual movement from plantations wai
271,693 bales, the balance going to increase the stocks at
the interior towns.
Last year the receipts from the planta¬

Telegraph.—There has been rain

during the past week, and in
gome portions of Alabama, Louisiana and Texas it has been
heavy. Otherwise the conditions have been favorable and the
crop is being picked and marketed quite rapidly.
Galveston, Texas.—It has rained very hard on six days of
the past week, and the rain has extended nearly everywhere
throughout the State. Accounts from the interior are conflict¬
ing and cannot report at present as to the damage, but picking
is suspended.
The thermometer has ranged from 60 to 84,
averaging 72, and the rainfall reached four inches and fifty-

week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are
times misleading, as they are made up more largely one
veto
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We
reach
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following. In reply to frequent inquiries we will
add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland
receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of
the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the cron
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

Macon, Ga.—Severe storm on the 8tli, 9th and 10th ; much damage

Forsyth. Ga — Heavy gale on the morning of the 10th damaged
cotton crop from 5 to 10 per cent. Tiiere will be no top crop on
The crop will be moderately below the average; perhaps not over 9V

ages, including 1,003 to Great Britain, 230 to China, 215 to Brazl^» 195 to Venezuela,135 to U. S. of Colombia, b9 to Mexico,
&c.
The demand by jobbers and converters was stricrly moder¬
ate, not the least disposition to anticipate future wants having
been manifested in any quarter. Tae joboing trade was irreg¬
ular, but a fair business was done by a few of the large houses
by means of liberal price inducements. Stocks of the most
desirable plain and colored cottons are still moderate, and such
goods are fairly steady in price; but outside makes are in ample
supply and easier. Print cloths were in pretty good demand
at 3%@3 11-16c. for 64x64s and 3 5-16@3%c. for56x60s, closing
at the inside figures.
Prints and ginghams ruled quiet in
agents’ hands, but relatively low prices enabled jobbers to effect
liberal sales.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—The situation in the woolen goods
market, has not materially changed. Heavy clothing woolens
in limited demand, but spring cassiineres, suinngs and
worsted coatings were in fair request, though not by any
means active.
Cloakings have relapsed into a condition of com¬
parative quiet, but there was a good steady business in dress
Domestic Cotton Goods.—The export demand for cotton

Business ruled very quiet with
manufacturers’ agents and importers, but a fair distribution
of domestics, prints and department goods was made by some
of the leading jobbers as the result of, lower prices or in¬
creased discounts. The main features of the market are un¬
changed in any respect. Values of the most desirable fabrics
of domestic manufacture are fairly maintained, but slight
concessions have been made on outside makes of cotton goods,
&c., in order to prevent accumulations, and there has been
rather more pressure to sell certain kinds of imported goods.
The most important event of the week was a peremptory auc¬
tion sale of about 3,290 packages whbe and eoloied blankets.
The sale was largely attended, and all the goods were readily
disposed of; but the prices obtained wero very 1«*w—probably
abouti 25 per cent below the quotations at which the goods
have lately been held by manufacturers’ agents.
This result
is mainly attributable to. the fact that most of the blankets
were of an inferior quality to those at present in demand by
