One of the features of our
foreign trade is the increase
the exports of provisions. Prices of both lard

time last year, and have been for some months past,
and yet the foreign shipments are in an important ratio
larger than in 1879. The exports of bacon and hams
from the seven principal shipping ports on the Atlantic
seaboard, from November 1, 1879—the beginning of the
season—up to October 9, approximated 750,000,000
pounds, an increase of 21,000,000 pounds compared with
the previous season; and of lard the excess over last season
is nearly 50,000,000 pounds; while the value of our
exports of these three items for the seven months ending
September 1, of this year, was no less than $54,636,407,
or an increase of about 14 per cent compared with the
same period in 1879.

prices are profitable
to the packer, though such has not always been the case
of late years.
The hog-packing industry is a great and
growing source of wealth, which is steadily increasing
the earnings of the great carriers of the West, and
promises to prove a valuable addition to our exports of
cotton, breadstuffs and petroleum in keeping the balance
of the foreign trade in our favor.
As a single illustra¬
tion of the increase in this branch of trade, the case of
Chicago, the principal mart, may be cited. In the
season of 1862-3, the number of hogs packed there was
only 970,264, and as late as 1870-1 it was but 918,087,
an actual decrease; while during the short period ex¬
tending from March 1 to October 6 of the present year
it reached the imposing aggregate of 2,570,000.
The present high prices, compared with former years,
are the result partly of speculation and partly of the
unprecedented foreign trade. The speculation in pork
at Chicago, which caused an advance of 100 per cent in
a few months, necessarily affected the
prices of cut
meats, though not in an equal degree; and the uninter¬
rupted activity of trade has alone served to make the
sufficient evidence that the present

vice, because such lines cannot otherwise compete with
the subsidized lines of other nations.
Next, a bounty is
asked upon both sail and steam vessels for a given num¬
ber of years on all vessels under fifteen years of age, and
that all customs dues (tonuage taxes from all vessels
whatever being included) be set aside as a special fund
for paying bounties to American shipowners.
This long list of resolutions thus brings the subject to
the same old position—a demand for the restoration of
American shipping at the general expense.
It is un¬
necessary for us to speak of this at length, for the views
of this journal as to relying upon the remedy of govern¬

all its readers.
The
ships to be favored are still to be American-built, not
merely American-owned, and the repeal of the stupid
navigation laws is carefully not recommended. The
ship-running interest is still to be banned and suppressed,
in the imaginary service of the ship-building interest.
It is still held to be better that Europe should carry the
goods and take the freight money, than that any ship
which was not built in this country should fly the
American flag.
As a piece of patriotic punctilio, those
who favor this ought to refuse to be pulled out of the
water by a foreigner, for it would obviously be better to
drown than to owe rescue to anything “foreign.” Half a

Napoleon, and demand that
he give place in favor of his son, Prince Victor.
Prince
Napoleon, in his reply, has shown that he is in no mood
to yield to such a demand; and it
may safely, we think,
be taken for granted that so long as the
Imperial crown
is so far out of the way of his actual grasp he will not
renounce or transfer to another
the empty honors.
Prince Napoleon, who kuows France and the French
people as well as any man living, knows that the time
is inopportune for Bonapartist
agitation. The dismissal
of Gen. de Cissey from his post in the
army, although
not likely to become more than a mere
personal question,
must be included among the incidents of the
time, all
the more so that it demonstrates the strength and
pur¬

unusual activity, notwithstanding that
no
heavy payments are usual at this period of the year.
The “ fourth” of the month, which in the month of October is
frequently heavy, has scarcely affected the money market, the
mercantile demand for accommodation being generally very
light. Neither have the movements in gold attracted any con¬
siderable amount of attention. A few parcels of that metal
have been withdrawn from the Bank during the week, and the
imports from abroad and from our colonies have also been
absorbed by the export inquiry. The money market, however,
remains stationary, but there is an impression/ which has,
indeed, been entertained for some time past, but which has not
yet become a reality, that the directors of the Bank of England
must soon be compelled to raise their rates of discount.
That
view of the future of the money market is still held by many,
notwithstanding that the Bank of Germany has lowered its
quotation this week from 5/£ to 5 per cent. A rise here from
2^6 to 3 per cent would be a matter of very little consequence,
and it is very certain that it would have no effect in checking
the export demand Tor gold. The directors of the Bank of
England may still prefer therefore to remain at 2^ per cent, as
the open market is working below them and obtaining the
largest proportion of the discount business in progress. The
supply of bullion held by the Bank of England is large, viz.,
£27,361,588, against £34,094,924 last year. The falling off is
considerable, but the fact must be borne in mind that the sup¬
ply held in 1879 -was abnormally large, and was in excess of
reasonable requirements. The same process of reduction is not
desirable now, as the supply of bullion would then be little
more than £20,000,000; but there is no pressing demand, and
there appears to be no great necessity for adopting measures
with a view to restrict it. During the last six weeks, the Bank
has lost about £1,200,000 in gold ; but a good deal of this has
been absorbed recently by the provinces and will probably be
returned before long. Trade also is very quiet, and shows no
indications of showing any great revival this year. It is, how¬
ever, as the Board of Trade returns bear witness, of a fairly
extensive character, very free, on the whole, from speculation,
and, it is thought, not unattended by moderate profits. What¬

political complications abroad and, to some extent, at home.
The Eastern difficulty is just now a serious
impediment to
active business ; but an optimist view of the situation is taken
by the majority, though with them there is a strong feeling of
anxiety. Should this difficulty be happily arranged, many
orders for goods now in abeyance will be given out, and the
year may yet terminate, if not with a brisk trade, at all
events with good.hopes for the future.
The dividends on the public funds have been paid this week
and the supply of money has somewhat increased; but there
has been a fair demand for accommodation and very little
change has taken place in the rates of discount. Mercantile
paper is by no means abundant, and the requirements of the
country for financial purposes are very moderate. The rates of
discount are therefore easy, as follows:

—The financial agents of the Homestake Mining Company,
Messrs. Lounsbery £ Haggin, have supplied the report of the
operations of the company from January 1, 1878, to September
The report should be thorougly satisfactory to the
stockholders, and it reflects credit on the firm which has intro¬

The gross product of the mine to
on the New York market.
August 31,1880, was $1,923,733, and with premium added, $1,924,769. The gross receipts from all sources were $2,172,723. Up
to September 1 the dividends paid to stockholders amounted to
$600,000, and on that date the company was without any liabili¬
ties, while the assets amounted to $149,294 of which $107,048
was cash and bullion in transit.
Last month the company paid
a double dividend, amounting to $60,000, and in a few da^s
another double dividend, it is said, will be paid. The report is
well worthy of perusal by those interested in mining properties.

exuberant feeling which seemed to take possession of the stock
markets last week has been continued with little intermission
until to-day. The features of the present advance, however, are
somewhat different from the famous boom of 1879. It is noticed
now that the stocks most
easily pushed upward belong to strong
companies having a large ana well-established business, and
many of them paying handsome dividends. The great point in
the market now is the talk of scrip dividends or increased cash
dividends to be shortly declared, ana on this we have the rise in
such stocks as Northwest, St. Paul, Michigan Central, Lake
Shore, N. Y. Central, Pennsylvania, Erie preferred, and others.
Last year the phases were different and trash was most in favor.
Stocks and bonds that had been long in default were then most
eagerly purchased, and while the standard speculative stocks
necessarily shared in the upward move the fancies were most
talked of, and from their very low prices at the start showed the
largest percentage of profits. Recently, the holders of stocks
that have no prospects of speedy dividends have been a little
disappointed that their specialties did not respond to the activity
in the rest of the
market, and the circumstance has seemed to
give color to the idea that the transactions have been more for
the account of large or habitual operators than for the outside

“
The
city of Lima, Ohio, having donated $85,000 to the com¬
pany, it was deemed advisable to locate our principal construc¬
tion and repair shops at that place.” * * *
In calling your attention to the following detailed state¬
ments of the operation of the property for the nine months
under review, it is but proper to direct it particularly to the
first five months of the year, in order that, in arriving at a cor¬
rect idea of the earning capacity of the property, a wrong
impression may be avoided; owing to the new line from
Celina, Ohio, to Muncie, Ind., being completed late in the sea¬
son, and the open and wet winter following, it was found
impracticable to operate that part of the road until late m May
following, thus depriving* the road of a large business originat¬
ing in Indiana and Illinois, which was necessarily turned off at
Muncie and other connecting points to other roads. The loss
in net revenue on this account may be fairly considered as
amounting to $200,000, the net earnings for these five months
amounting to but $47,657, while for the remaining four months
of the period under review they reached $200,761. As the loco¬
motive equipment of the road has not, up to this date, been
more than sufficient to properly handle its local business, any
considerable increase of business from connecting lines has not
been solicited. We have purchased twelve locomotives for de¬
livery during the current year, four of which are already in
“
service.”

Wednesday, October 20th, he had a long conference with Presi¬
dent Gowen and the board of managers of the companies. No
delibera¬
will shortly
the English committee’*
announcement was made as to the result of their
tions, but it was stated that an American committee
be appointed.
The following
is an abstract of
just at hand in the London newspapers:
Since the issue of their first report, dated June 18 last, the committee
have been in active communication with the Receivers, with reference to
the position and prospects of the companies, and the steps to be taken
for their reorganization. The committee have not yet received the
valuations which have been made of the two companies’ properties
under the order of the United States Court. The committee cannot
explain the delay that has taken place, but they hope to receive oopies
of these valuations before long. In consequence of the default to par
the interest due on July 1 to the general mortgage bondholders, ft
became the duty of the committee to consider what steps should be taken
to protect this class of securities.
With the approval of the committee a
suit was commenced for that purpose by the Farmers’ & Mechanics’
National Bank of Philadelphia, and on July 2 last the order for the
Receiver in the suit of the income mortgage bondholders was extended
to the general mortgage suit.
This step excluded auy factious proceed¬
Nine months. ings by small bodies of bondholders. Another important question whioh
itself was the way in which the debts due for materials
$1,513,099 presented
and supplies at the date when the companies suspended payment should
1,271,022 be dealt with. The total amount was about $1,815,500, and it was

THE CHRONICLE.
After careful consideration tlie committee came to the conclusion
that while they were not prepared to consent to
any order in favor of
the creditors for supplies, they should not ho
justified in opposing the
application of the Receivers for authority to issue certificates in
respect
thereof. On August 6, 1880, an order was made by the
Judjujc oft he
Circuit Court authorizing the Receivers to issue certificates of indebted¬
ness
in
respect of these claims.
Neither the order
the certificates
profess to give any priority over other debts, aud they would appear to
imply that the supply creditors should wait the convenience of the
Receivers before demanding payment. The committee understand that
by this arrangement the creditors for supply claims are practically pre¬
vented from now embarrassing the
working of the railroad anil coal
companies, while their debts are represented by certificates in a conven¬
ient form, and transferable. * * * * The committee have
given much
attention to the principles on which any plan for the
reorganization of
the two companies’ financial position should be
based, and they think it
desirable to state what their present views
upon the subject are. The
important fact which must govern the formation of any scheme is, that
tlie annual fixed and absolute charge of the several debts of
the two
companies has now risen to about $7,000,000, while, ou the other

The
whom it is due shall have made reasonable concession as
to the amount.
How far this assistance should be £iven
by contribution in cash, and
how far by assenting to the issue of bonds or
preference shares, taking pre¬
cedence of the present capital stock, the committee do not at
present offer
any opinion. ■ * * The committee also are of
opinion that should
the receivership be continued for
any considerable period, it may be
desirable to reconsider the question of the persons who
may be most
fitly entrusted with this responsible and difficult office. Tlie committee
have reason to believe that the shareholders and
non-mortgage credit¬
ors have been
encouraged to think that their interests may be preserved
without submitting to any sacrifice or
contributing any assistance. The
committee can see no reasonable hope of this
being done, inasmuch as
such a course would throw the whole burden
upon the mortgage bond¬
holders and require from them excessive and
unreasonable forbearance
jmd self-denial. The committee believe it would be
a great misfortune,
even for the shareholders and
lion-mortgage creditors themselves, that
such hopes should be entertained ; for, if acted
on, they could only lead
to disappointment.
Of the two plans which the committee have
described in tlieir report, they would prefer the second. * * *
If,
however, the desire of this committee to invite and promote an
arrange¬
ment of this kind should not be responded to,
they tvould feel themselves
bonndt o resort to the first plan, of a sale
by the court, which requires
no correct or co-operation
by the shareholders or inferior creditors, aud
under which these creditors aud
shareholders would find themselves
entirely excluded.”
—President
Gowen, in a letter to the Public Ledger, says :
possible that such a thing as a foreclosure or sale of the
property could ever take place, the latter would he sold
subject to the
lien of all the prior mortgages, and out of the
proceeds of sale the
Receivers’ certificates wou d be paid even if there was not
enough money
to pay the general
mortgage in full, but such sale would in no manner
disturb the lien or affect the
security of the prior mortgages, the holders
of which can therefore
safely dismiss all fears as to their position. As
to the amount of Receivers’certificates
outstanding: On the 27th of
May last the Receivers were authorized to borrow $1,000,000, of which
'
4*Jf it
were
$010,000 was tor interest on consolidated mortgage due June 1st and
the remaining $390,000 was for the
purpose of paying arrears of wages.
Of this issue of $1,000,000, there has been
paid $300,000, and $300,000
additional will be paid within the next two weeks. Tbc
Receivers also
issued $379,102 80 of certificates for
July rentals, all of which have
since been paid. The Receivers of the Coal & Iron
have from
time to time issued, on account of current deliveries Company
of iron."certificates
amounting to $231,801 10, of which amount there have been
paid
$157,591 07,. These are all the certificates or obligations issued
by the
'Receivers of either company, except the 4
per cent certificates issued
under tbc order of the Court, for materials and
supplies furnished to the
.two companies ; and this latter issue had no other
effect than to convert
an existing lien
bearing 0 per cent interest into one which bears but 4
percent, rt must be remembered that there are over
the securities of the company which are subordinate to $60,000,000 of
tlie lieu of the
general mortgage, and, although no disposition has been shown
by the
general mortgage creditors to harass the company, or to insist
upon
securing their own rights at the expense of any subsequent
creditors,
yet it cannot but be agreeable to the late creditors to
find that the
Receivers are gradually reducing the arrears of
prior encumbrances.”

shareholders, if they desire to retain any interest in tlie
companies, must consider the magnitude of the stake which they have
to preserve—namely, an immense coal and iron land
speculation, the out¬
lay on which, speaking approximately,accounts directly and indirectly for
the whole of the railroad company’s
stock of $34,278,175, and for about
$30,000,000 to $40,000,000 of the bonds aud debentures of the two
companies. And this interest tlie shareholders will find it impossible to
preserve without some effectual pecuniary effort on their part.
There are two ways in which a reorganization can be effected.
The
first is by a sale by direction of the Court in the suit instituted on behalf
of the general mortgage bondholders. * * * There
are, however,
reasons against this plan.
The recent Constitution of Pennsylvania
contains provisions prohibiting newly-formed
railway companies of that
State (in effect) from holding and
working coal mines, and placing new
corporations, in many respects, at the mercy of the Legislature. Tlie
existing charters of the two companies were prior in date to this new
Constitution, and (as the committee believe) are protected from
change
by a clause in the Constitution of the United States. But
any new com¬
pany now formed to take over the railway, &e.. on a purchase
might (it
is apprehended) become
subject to the terms of the new Pennsylvanian
Constitution. *■ * * The second plan would be to
bring about a scheme
for mutual and equitable concession on the
part of the creditors whose
interests are in danger, and for contribution on the
part of

above it, and,
probably, the improvement mortgage, are not in a condition in which
they can he expected to make any sacrifice. Which of the other credit¬
ors should have to submit to
abatement or delay, and to what extent, is
a question of the
greatest intricacy and nicety, the solution of which
would require a careful examination of each
case, and would depend on
the legal priorities, on the equities
attaching to the several classes, and
on the presence or absence of
security, and in the former case the value
of the securities held. Bo,
too, the amount and nature of the assistance
to be given
by the shareholders will require careful consideration. The
committee think it right to say that it seems to them that the
sharehold¬
ers will have to bear a
very substantial part, if not the whole, of the
amount necessary to extinguish the
floating debt, after the creditors to

St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba.—This
company are
pushing forward the extension of their lines. The Pioneer Press,
in reporting tlie progress of the
work, says: “ On the Grand
Forks Fargo Moorhead & Barnesville extension the
track is laid
31% miles south of Grand Forks. The distance from Grand
Forks to Fargo is 75 miles, and from
Fargo to Barnesville is
22% miles. The grading over the latter distance is nearly com¬
pleted. The extension from
to Maple River is 48
Breckenrid^e
miles long, and the track is down
over half the distance.
The
extension from Morris to Brown’s
Valley is 48 miles long, and
the track reached Graeeville, a distance of
26% miles from
Morris, on Wednesday. The extension west of Grand Forks is
graded for a distance of 15 miles, and is ironed for 11% miles.
Work is progressing very
favorably on the Osseo branch, and
12 miles of track will be laid this season.
All these extensions
to be finished before severe cold weather sets
in, thus
are
adding 225 miles to the railroad system of St. Paul.”

United States Bond
troller of the
Frauds.—Judge Lawrence, First Comp-
Treasury, has rendered
the
following decision:
First—That where it has been
fraudulently represented to the Treas¬
ury Department that a Government bond has been
destroyed and that
when so destroyed it was owned
by a party named, payment to such
body of such bona by the Treasury Department will not deprive another
person, the bona fide owner of the bond, of the right to payment.
Second—The payment to such fraudulent claimant does not
operate to
exhaust so much of the permanent appropriation made for the
payment
of the public debt as lias been so
applied, so that a new appropriation is
necessary. The appropriations for payment of tlie public debt are of
moneys sufficient to pay bonds called for payment.
Third—As to other appropriations of specific sums for
purposes stated,
a payment bv mistake to a fraudulent
claimant cannot deprive a rightful
claimant of his right to payment. In such case the erroneous
payment
could not be charged to the appropriation so as to
exclude the rightful
claimant from payment, but should go to an account for relief
by Congress.
Washington City Virginia Midland & Great Southern.
—Pursuant to the decree of the Virginia
Court of Appeals,
the Circuit Court of Alexandria, Va., has entered a
decree
ordering the sale of this railroad. In accordance with the
decree, Mr. John S. Barbour, commissioner of sale, announces
that the entire line of road and all
branches, with all equip¬
ments, rights, franchises, properties, &c., will be sold on 20th
December next, at public auction, at Alexandria. The
property
will be purchased by a committee of its
creditors, and reorgan¬
ized under terms agreed upon some time since.
Western Railroad of
Minnesota.—Washington dispatches
of October 16 reported that the
Secretary of the Interior had
rendered a decision involving interests in the case of the West¬
ern Railroad of
Minnesota, now operated and controlled by the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, in
regard to the claim of
that company for lands under the
indemnity
grant to the State
of Minnesota of the acts of March 3, 1857, March
3, 1865, and
the^ various amendatory statutes. This
decision, which also
bears directly upon the similar claims of the
Chicago Milwaukee
& St. Paul Railroad, is favorable to the claims.
The decision
accords with the opinion of Attorney-General Devens furnished
to the Interior Department last June, and is
substantially in
accord with the original practice of the Department
prior to the
decisions rendered by the Supreme Court in the cases of Leaven¬
worth Lawrence & Galveston Railroad Co. ys. the IT. S. and the
U. S. vs. Burlington & Missouri River Railroad
Co., which cases
are construed by the
Attorney-General’s
opinion as not
sarily conflicting with the views therein expressed.

Wisconsin Central.—The Economist, of Boston,
says of this
railroad : ‘‘The earniDgs of the
company are sufficient to meet
all fixed charges at present. The bonds amount to
$9,900,000,
of which $4,000,000 are preferred 5
per cent bonds, $3,800,000
first consolidated bonds drawing 2
per cent for three years from
July 1,1S80, and afterwards 5 per cent, and $5,700,000 second
consolidated bonds drawing 2 per cent for three
years from July
1,1881, and not exceeding 7 per cent per annum thereafter.
But the interest on this last series of bonds is
paid only after
$30,000 has been set aside for the permanent improvement and
repair of the road. Thus it will be seen that the present fixed
annual charges preceding the stock amount to
$250,000, and
that a few years lienee they will amount to
$650,000. This is
including 5
cent of the principal of the preferred bonds,
paid annually. The gross earniDgs last year
were $853,225, and the net, after
1,001,251
deducting the rentals, $193,090.

part of the advance. On Wednesday Liverpool was unexpect¬
edly stronger, and there was an early advance with us, but it was
mostly lost at the close, especially for the early months. On
Thursday there were no changes of importance, and but a mod¬
erate movement. To-day the opening was stronger, but the
close without improvement. Cotton on the spot has been more
active for export, and a better business was done for home con¬
sumption. Prices, however, were without improvement. There
is a scarcity of the better grades, while the poorer qualities were
not wanted; consequently, there is still a wide difference between
middling cotton and deliveries on contracts on the basis of that
«grade. Thus, on Tuesday, with middling uplands on the spot
quoted at 11 3-l(ic., a “ short notice” for the 20th sold at 10‘72c.,
or more than 7-16c. below the regular “ spot” price.

The above totals show that the old interior stocks have in¬
creased during the week 17,819 bales, and are to-night 55,712
bales more than at the same period last year. The receipts at
the same towns have have been 30,018 bales more than the same
week last year.
Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
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 crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

operations in certain makes of cotton goods were continued

a
bought sparingly, and the export trade in domestics was
checked
by the inability of manufacturers’ agents to accept
orders for
goods to be delivered at a stated time, because of the
prevailing drought, which has seriously curtailed production in
the manufacturing districts. Cool weather has enabled the
wholesale elothing houses to reduce their stocks of winter
clothing, and the dry goods jobbing trade—if not active—was at
least fairly satisfactory for the time of year.

meagre supplies on the market and the reluctance of agents to
accept orders deliverable at a fixed period. The diminished pro¬
duction has imparted firmness to prices, and therewas a marked
advance in print cloths, accompanied by unusually large
transactions in both ‘‘spots ” and “futures;” the closing quota¬

calicoes ruled quiet and ginghams (though firm in price) were
