The assaults of the

Their object

purchasing in the open market. In the after¬
noon of
Thursday realizing sales and some slight pres*
sure by the bears carried
prices downward, but the decline
was
regarded as of little significance and as a natural
reaction after so sharp a rise.
Yesterday, however, a fur¬
ther decline took place all
through the list, under contin¬
ued realization of profits, and the close was
barely steady.
Still, it is to be remembered that the whole advance and
activity of the last few days is due to speculative manipu¬
lation, and though the severe lesson of the week will, it is
likely, bear fruit in putting a stop at least for the present
to the reckless raids of the
bears, there is no reason to
anticipate an active rising market. It is somewhat singu¬
lar that at this juncture the
managers of railroad proper¬
ties, who from their position as large owners have so much
at stake, do not reform their methods so far as to
take the
public into their confidence. A frank statement of the
financial condition of leading
properties would certainly
be welcomed by investors and we think aid
greatly in
strengthening the market.. But until the commercial
classes are making more
money, we can scarcely expect
any considerable speculation.

very generally expressed that the period of extreme
depression in Wall Street has culminated. There are not
wanting reasons for this belief, some of which we have
indicated in the previous article.
But there are others
which encourage the same hope.

In reference to the state of the bullion markets during the

that the worst fears should be realized in this respect, is past week, Messrs. Pixley & Abell observe :
Gold.—With the exception of a small sum sent into the Hank yesterday
it not clear that we have already made more than full (£ 15,000), the demand for export lias absorbed all arrivals; and bars
and sovereigns, to the value of £ 134.000, have been withdrawn for trans¬

allowance for such a contingency ?

this will be

£10,000, from Bombay, and the “Khedive” has taken £2,000 to Alex¬

andria and £32,500 to India.
Silver —There has been no alteration in rates since our last, the price
remaining at 50 15-16’d. The demand has been principally for India,
the P. i O. steamer having taking £80,500 to the East.
The arrivals

making a total of £07,090.

Sir J. B. Lawes has issued his annual
report upon the wheat

harvest, and, as far as the yield per
grain are concerned, his conclusions
those hitherto formed.

In the

acre

and the quality of the
satisfactory than

are more

of his letter he remarks :
My own wheat came up slowly, but still the plant was fairly good, and
continued so up to the harvest. After February
the weather, although
cold, was dry until the end of June. July was wet, and the wheat was

then in
suffered

course

ciitical a state that at one time it appeared almost to have
much as the crop of last year.
Fortuuately, however, the
early part of the month of August was both hot and dry, and the bene¬
ficial effect upon the quantity, and also
upon the quality, of the wheat
was very apparent.
This will be evident when I mention that the
highest produce of any experiment in my permanent wheat field last
year was 37% bushels per. acre, weighing 59 lbs. to the
bushel, while
this year the highest produce has reached
43*2 bushels per acre, weigh¬
ing 62 lbs. to the bushel. The following table gives the present crop on
the selected experiments which have for so
many years been used by
me to show the probable wheat
crop of the country :

to 22% bushels at 61 lb. per bushel.
I
to 23 bushels at 61 lb. per bushel.
$
to 2 6% bushels at 61 lb. per bushel.
It will be observed that the present
crop, which gives an average
produce of 30 bushels, weighing 62% lbs. per bushel, exceeds
the
previous average, whether taken over 10, 21 or 31 years. The
average
of the three artificial manures is
nearly 41 bushels, or 10 bushels in
excess of the
average of the last ten years; and both the permanently
unmauured land and that which receives
farmyard dung show a very
large increase over the average of the last ten years, leaving no doubt,
so tar as this lield is concerned, that the
crop of *1883 is the largest that
has been grown since 1874.
In applying the results obtained in this
field to measure the crop grown in the United
Kingdom, it will be
necessary to take into account that while the produces of
my field was
obtained from a full plant.it is well known that the
plant was thin upon
a considerable area of land
throughout the country; and the expressed
opinion of a large number of agriculturalists, given before the
crop was
carried, indicated a produce below the average. I cannot but
think,
however, that the yield will turn out better than the estimate, and
that
the crop will amount to a full
average of 23 bushels per acre, if not
more.
At all events, I shall base my estimate
upon this figure.
The
mean amount of the. population of the United
Kingdom to be fed during
the year ending on the 31st of August,
1S84, will be
and, allowing for a consumption of 5*65 bushels of nearly 36 millions ;
wheat*’per head, the
amount required will be 25% million
quarters. The area under wheat
in the United Kingdom, as given in the
Government return, amounted
to 2,707,919 acres.
If the produce of this
country is estimated on the
basis.of my wheat tield.it will amount to
10i:?million quarters, from
which must be deducted 2% bushels
per acre for seed, thus making the
available home crop rather over 9% million
quarters. But if the aver¬

This movement is partially
explained by the

The Bank of England
weekly statement showed a loss of
£408,000 in specie. The reserve of the
Bank, which was 46;4
per cent last week, has. however, been increased
this week to
43 15-16 per cent.
The rate of discount remains at 3

The weekly statement of the Bank of
France showed a
loss of 4,050,000 francs in gold and
2.275,000 francs in silver.
The Bank of Germany
gained in the week 8.520.000 marks.
The arrivals of specie at New York from
Europe have been
small as yet. but it is known that
about £210,000 are on the

State and Railroad Bonds.—The market for
railroad bonds,
above referred to, lias shown a decided
improvement
this
week. >So fas as the speculative bonds are
concerned this is,
as said, largely from
sympathy with the advance in stocks,
but on first-class bonds it is due also to the
fact that
fljgre
is quite a heavy investment demand.

leading active stocks in that time
having been from! to 9 percent, with exceptional advances of

monly known as the Nickel-Plate, has been prominent from its
inception. It has been one of those corporations which help to
remove

railroad matters from the realm of

dry, hard, uninter¬
esting fact, to the field of romance and imagination.
The rapid construction of the road and its successful sale to
the Messrs. Vanderbilt, and by them to the Lake Shore & Michi¬
gan Southern Railroad Company, are familiar to all.
The road
was opened in' October, 1882, but did not
immediately get in
full working order for through business; the first information of
its operations is given by the brief
report to the Illinois State
Railroad Commissioners for the year

ending J une 30,18S3. From

this it appears that, for the period of about
eight months from
Nov. 1 to June 30, the gross earnings were $1,045,546 ;
operat¬
ing expenses, $805,542 ; net earnings, $150,004. The rental

paid the Chicago & Western Indiana Railroad for entrance into
and terminal facilities at
Chicago is probably $150,000 per
year, or about $100,000 for eight months, leaving the actual
net earnings $50,000.
It is hardly necessary to say that the
first year of a road’s operations furnishes no criterion
by which
to judge of its ultimate
prosperity; but a road running through
a
comparatively old country, and dependent largely on through
business, has not the prospect of increase from local traffic
possessed by a road running through a new and undeveloped
agricultural country.
What is

now

the situation of the Nickel-Plate road?

A

majority of the stock is held by the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern Railroad Company, and there is little prospect cf

changing, for the bondholders having votes could
hardly side with the minority stockholders in any effort to over¬
throw the present management, as the bondholders in such
action might commit financial suicide—their bonds now hav¬
ing, for all practical purposes, a guarantee by the Lake Shore
Company. The interest and rental charge of the Nickel-Plate
road must now be about $1,030,000 per year, made
up as fol¬
lows : Interest on $15,000,000 first
mortgage 6 per cent bonds,
$ *00,000 ; interest on $4,000,000 equipment 7 per cent bonds,
$280,000 ; interest on $10,000,000 second mortgage 6 per cent
binds, $600,000 ; rental to Chicago & Western Indiana Rail¬
road Company (say) $150,000 ; total, $1,930,000. In addition to
these charges, the equipment bonds fall due $400,000
yearly,
beginning with 1SS5. It is possible that all of the second mort¬
gage bonds have not yet been issued, but it is presumed that
they will all be outstanding by the end of the current year, as no
notice was given in the circular to the Stock Exchange of the
reservation of any of these bonds.
The Lake Shore issued for the purchase of xjj^kel-Plate
stock
(now held in its treasury), $6,500,000 of its own 7 per cent
bonds, making an annual interest charge on these of $456,890,
which, added to the fixed charges of the N. Y. C. & St. L. Com¬
pany, as above stated, make the total yearly charges on the
acquisition of the new property $2,386,S90. The Lake Shore
has not yet merged the Nickel-Plate into its own
system of
roads, and has not guaranteed any of its bonds; but so long as

mont County to proceed at once to complete the construction of
the railway, and to alter it from a narrow to a standard guage
from Batavia Junction to Portsmouth ; and in order to do this
he is empowered by the order of the Court to issue receiver’s
certificates for the purpose of paying the expenses, to the ag¬
gregate amount of $250,000 ; the certificates to be redeemable

acts of the Legislature of the Territory, which are in accord¬
ance with powers granted to it by Congress.

immense

ment is located for which the bonds were issued shall assume

Northern Taciflc

Railroad Company.—Under date of
circular has been issued to the holders of pre¬
ferred stock in this company,which, after referring to the spec¬
ial meeting to be held Nov. 20, proceeds as follows :
Oct. 17, 1883, a

“You are.-requested to attend the special meeting to be held on
November 20tli, or to give authority to represent your vote at said
meeting by signing the accompanying proxy.
“
Your Board consider it their duty to submit the following explana¬
tion relative to the objects of the meeting. In our report for the fiscal
year of 1382-83, you were duly advised of the existence of a deficiency
arising from the excess of the cost of construction and equipment of
the main line, over available resources, and amounting on June 30th,
1883, to $7,986,507,92. You were further informed that in order to
avoid embarrassment to the Company from the pressure of a large float¬
ing debt, an arrangement had been entered into with the Oregon &

Transcontinental Company, under which that corporation made the
It was agreed that this company
necessary advances in open account.
should secure these advances temporarily by the issue of such obliga¬
tions as could be created under the restrictions of the Plan of Re-organ¬
ization. This assistance proved of incalculable value, as, besides assur¬

ing the speedy completion of the road, it lias saved this company during
Construction from the constant embarrassments that a large floating
debt would inevitably have entailed. The deficiency at the close of the
past fiscal year was increased by further requirements for construction
and equipment purposes, between July 1 and October 1, by the sum of
$1,473,412 91, so that ou the latter date it amounted to the total-of

$9,459,920 83.

Ever since, it became evident that the main line could not be completed
and equipped from the proceeds of the sale of flrst mortgage bonds,
your

board has been fully impresdfed with the necessity of dealing with

the. deficiency at the earliest possible moment; but no measures of
relief could be determined upon and proposed to you. until the actual
cost of the main line over available resources could be ascertained with
accuracy, which was not practicable until thelconstrnction work had
reached its later stages.
It is indeed only now that we are prepared to
make a definite statement in this respect. There will be required in
addition to the deficiency of $9,459,920 83 on October 1st, the sum o£

$5,500,000 for the following purposes:
For accruing construction estimates and vouchers
$1,660,OH

This amount will provide the funds to finish the construction and
equipment of the road, except the sum of $750,000, which will be gradu¬
ally needed, in the course of two years subsequent to March 1st next,

for the completion of the bridge over the Willamette, and can be
readily met out of current in come, or out of the reserve of the bonds*
hereinafter mentioned.
We have thus a total, exclusive of the cost of the Willamette bridge,
of $14,959,920.83 excess of requirements over tire proceeds of the gen¬
eral flrst mortgage bonds.
It is due to you that you be told plainly, so
that you shall understand clearly, the causes that combine to produce
this deficiency. In the first place, the cost of the Yellowstone. Clarks'
Fork and Pend d’Oreille divisions was greater by $5,500,000 than the

engineer’s original estimates. The loose material encountered, instead
of solid rock, in the Bozeman and Mullan tunnels largely increased the
cost of these works over estimates, besides necessitating the construc¬
tion of temporary overhead lines at an expense of $140,000.
The cost
of the Bismarck, Snake River and Willamette bridge will be more than
was expected, owing to the extra cost of the foundations, approaches,
Ac. Then, again, the development of traffic was such that fully forty
per cent more motive power and equipment was required than had
been estimated.'Last, and not least, the Minnesota, Dakota and Missouri
divisions of the main line were iu such condition, and the requirements
of business so

large, that iu order to render their safe and economical

operation practicable, a total expenditure during the past three years of
$3,804,501 51 for renewal of track and superstructure, erection on
simps'at Brainerd and elsewhere, and other betterments, was indispen¬

The cost of the erection of the office building at St. Paul is also
sable.
included in these expenditures.
We do not hesitate to say that it is as good a road as has ever been
built for the money west of the Mississippi River; It has been ex¬
amined by a number of eminent American and foreign experts since
the opening to through traffic, and their united testimony is to this
effect. And it is to the thorough character of the construction that the
excess'of the actual cost over the estimates must be largely ascribed,
but on the other hand the road will hereafter be operated so mueli more
cheaply and efficiently, in consequence of the thorough manner in
which it has been built, that the stockholders will find that they have a
full equivalent in the enhanced expenditure.
After due consideration of the situation of the company in all its

bearings, your Board concluded to request j’our consent to the creation
a
second mortgage as security for the issue of $20,000,000 of 6 per
cent gold bonds.
The new mortgage will be ou all the property of this
company (except the lands east of the Missouri River, which were
reserved by the plan of reorganization for the benefit of tile preferred
stock), subject only to the priority of the present general mortgage, and
it will be similar in terms and conditions to the general mortgage, and
subject only to its liens.
" .
Your Board is pleased to say that it has received a proposition from a
syndicate repres uted by Messrs. Drexel, Morgan A Co.. Winslow,
Lanier A Co., and August Belmont A Co., to take $15,000,000 of these
second mortgage bonds firm at the price of 87^2 cash, less 5 per cent
commission in bonds, with a mx months’ option to take $3,000,000

of

more on

the same terms.

Considering the proposition

we accepted it subject to tlie authorization of the mortgage by you at
the special meeting to be held November 20.
The sale of the $18,000,000 of second mortgage bonds at the stated

companies’ or other good securities ; but suggests that- a better
plan might be to have all amounts covered into the Treasury
price will enable the company to meet all its existing liabilities, and have a certain rate of interest (say 3 per cent) per annum,
provide for its coming construction and equipment requirements, and thus avoiding all questions of investments, premiums &c.
leave a reserve of $1,100,000 of bonds in the treasury.
Your Board regrets the necessity of the creation of a new lien upon
your property, but the stockholders should remember that every dollar
of additional capital put into the road adds to its value and earning

capaeitv, and permits of its more economic operation. The earnings of
the live weeks it has been operated as a through line,
8, have fully met our expectations, being $1,511,(500
(excluding construction and company freight), and we feel sure that
they will continue to do so. All competent judges who know the system
of railroads, steamboat and steamship lines tributary to the main line

largely to oUr gross earnings. Moreover, on October 1, under an
amicable arrangement with the Union Pacific Railroad Company, the
business of Butte City, Montana, was opened lo this company, and, as
has been announced in the press, we have also made an arrangement
with other Pacific railroad companies by which we take business to and

Toledo,
repre¬

senting the bondholders of the road, appeared before
Judge Drummond in Chicago Get. 22 to ask him to dismiss
Dwight and appoint Craig within his jurisdiction. Judge
Drummond replied that he saw no sufficient reason therefor,
but in the interest of the creditors he would yield a
point to
the-extent of appointing Craig
receiver with Dwight in
joint
his (Drummond’s) territory, if judge Baxter would
appoint
Dwight joint receiver with Craig in his (Baxter’s) territory.
Counsel will urge this proposition upon the consideration of
Judge Baxter.

COMMERCIAL

EPITOME.

Friday Night, Oct. 26,1883.
General trade proceeds on a moderate
scale, but it may be
said that a more cheerful
feeling pervades mercantile circles.
There is less apprehension of

disturbing complications, and
disposition to regard tlie season’s business with equa¬
nimity, if not with satisfaction. The Stock Exchange is firmer,
and fears of a damaging-decline in railroad securities are
quite
more

removed, and altogether the financial situation is more assur¬
ing. Exports of domestic products are fairly active, and but
little disturbed by speculative action.
It has been a slow week in
speculative provision circles; for a
time prices were maintained on lard, but
latterly the feeling
has been weak and figures have been lowered. Pork has con¬
tinued easy. To-day mess pork sold at $11 50 on
the spot.

owing to the reduced
supplies of the best grades; creamery best, 27@29e. Cheese is
quoted at 12@12}4c. for the finest, though recent receipts have

prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are some¬

than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement

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
finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

China, 229 to Argentine Republic, 129 to United States of
Colombia, and smaller parcels to other countries. There was a
fair demand for white goods, as Victoria and India lawns, nain¬
sooks, lace stripes and checks, fancy piques, &c., resulting in
considerable orders for future delivery, but most descriptions
of brown, bleached and colored cottons ruled
very quiet, in first
hands, selections having been almost wholly of a hand-to-mouth
character. Agents’ prices remain unchanged, but some large
lots of brown sheetings were sold by jobbers at
relatively low
figures, in order to stimulate trade. Print cloths were in light
demand at last week’s quotations, and stocks have slightly ac¬
cumulated at the manufacturing centres. Prints were dull in
agents’ hands, and the jobbing trade was by no means active,
but prices are nominally unchanged.

The market for dry goods has been exceptionally
quiet the
past, week, and its main features are unchanged. The demand
for consumption has shown some improvement all over the
iountry, but retailers’ stocks are still large enough to meet
the immediate wants of their customers, and tliere has conse¬
quently been a limited call for re-assortments 'at jobbers’
hands. Business was very light in commission and importing
circles, and a strictly moderate trade was done by manufact¬
urers of
clothing, shirts, cloaks, suits, &c. In spite of the
quiet tone that has pervaded the market, the future is regarded
hopefully by the best-posted merchants, and a more active
demand for seasonable goods is looked for as soon as the
weather becomes cold enough to give an impetus to
the retail
trade. The most staple fabrics of home and
foreign manufact¬
ure are steadily held, and,
though some goods have naturally
accumulated because of the late lull in the demand, there is
to believe that stocks

THE

orders, reached

good shape that prices are firmly maintained In shawls, carpets,
hosiery and knit uuderwear there was a steady but strictly
moderate business at unchanged prices.
Foreign Dry Goods.—There was a light re-assorting demand
for imported goods by retailers, but transactions were
very
moderate in the aggregate. Silks were noticeably quiet in
private hands, and sold poorly when offered at auction, but
there was a steady call for small lots of velvets, plashes and
velveteens.
Dress goods were mostly quiet, and there was only
a limited
inquiry for house-keeping linens, white goods, laces,
embroideries and hosiery. Prices of the most staple fabrics
remain fairly steady, but it is a buyer’s market for such goods
as are subject to the mutations of fashion.

.but operations were conducted with a degree of caution bor¬
dering upon timidity. Heavy clothing woolens were taken by
the same class of buyers-to a limited amount, and in relatively
small lots.
Overcoatings ruled quiet, and satinets and Ken¬
tucky jeans were in meagre d-mand, while a fair distribution of
ladies’ cloth, tricots, sackings, heavy Jersey cloths and stock¬
inettes was made in moderate-sized parcels.
Flannels were
somewhat less active, but very steady in price, and blankets
were lightly
dealt in by package buyers. Worsted and allwool dress fabrics were quieter in first hands as regards new
business, yet current sales, coupled with deliveries on account
