PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 18,1883.
Proposals will be received by the undersigned
until three o’clock P. M. of Friday, the thirtieth day
o f November next, for the purchase of $2,500,000 of
the five per cent registered bonds of the Steubenville
& Indiana Railroad Company, the principal and in
terest payable at the agency of the Company, in the
City of New York, being part- of a loan of $3,000,000
of first mortgage' bonds of the said Company, ma
turing January 1st, 1884, but extended for thirty
years from the date of their maturity, with interest
payable January 1st and July 1st of each year.
These bonds,are secured by a first mortgage upon
the line of road from Steubenville to Newark, in
Ohio, 117 miles, including the Cadiz Branch of 8
miles, making a total of -125 miles. The Steuben
ville & Indiana Railroad forms part of the line of
the Pittsburg Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway
Company, extending from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania,
to Columbus, Ohio, 193 miles, and, including the
Cadiz Branch, 201 miles; which company has a full
paid capital stock of $8,437,200; consolidated mortgage
bonds, $6,863,000, and second mortgage bonds, $;-,500.000, as a subsequent lien to the bonds herein re
ferred to. exclusive of the bonds of the Holliday’s
Cove Railroad Company, $120,000, and the Colum
bus and Newark Division bonds outstanding, $134,000, making together $254,000.
The net earnings of this line in 1882 were $1.403,560, of which the proportion due to the Steubenville
& Indiana Road would be $872,860, while the inter
est upon its first mortgage bonds as extended, which
is a first lien upon these earnings (except the inter
est upon the $254,000 of bonds above referred to),
wpu , t>e only $160J 00, thus showing that the secunty offered by these bonds is of the highest and most
substantial character.
•Ti1?,.pittsi)urS, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway,
with the various leased and controlled lines operated
in its interest, forms th.e southwestern system of
roads controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, by which it reaches the cities of Chicago, Cin
cinnati, Indianapolis, Louisville and St. Louis.
A payment ot ten per cent will, be required upon
the acceptance o f the proposals, the balance on or
before the thirty-first day of December next, and
i£ eA ?llJ ery tde bonds will be made as soon after
that date as practicable.
w»
Should proposals be received in excess o f the
f.mou it o f bonds offered, the same will be distributed
pio rata, but the right is reserved of rejecting any
or all of the bids.

Pennsylvania statement o f earnings and expenses has been
issued this week for the month o f September, and, as in
A u g u st, makes on the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie a
very favorable exhibit.
The gain over 1882 amounts t o
$ 2 1 7 ,3 9 6 in gro s^ an d $ 1 8 7 ,9 3 9 in net earnings, which isthe m ore encouraging that the gain in 1882 (over 1 8 8 1 )
had been no less than $ 6 8 2 ,5 9 6 in gross and $ 2 7 1 ,2 4 9 innqt.
The principal characteristic in the returns for th è
last two months has been the absence o f the feature which,
distinguished the months preceding— namely, a very large
augmentation in expenses.
But expenses are nevertheless-
still heavy as contrasted with form e? years.

[From our ow n correspondent.!
• L ondon , Saturday, Oct. 13, 1883.
There are still rumors in circulation o f impending failures,
and the tone’ of business has been generally dull. Much anxiety
has been felt regarding the future, but the more frequent
opinion is that a considerable section of the public has become
unnecessarily alarmed. W ith such a feeling existing, a strong
desire is judiciously shown to operate with great caution, and not
only is trade affected, but the Stock Exchange is also materially
affected. There seems to be no likelihood of any immediate
change taking place, and the impression is likely to be con
firmed that the trade of the year will finish up in a very quiet
manner.
This week’s Bank return is favorable, and decidedly favors a
continuance of easy money. The more prominent feature is
that the mercantile public have borrowed very little on the
dividends on the public funds. The re-payments of loans have
not amounted to more than £332,567, while the distribution of
the dividends has caused a d^prease of £1,764,816 in the Treas
ury balance. Current accounts exhibit an increase of £2,366,,226, and this fact leads to the belief that the money market
must assume an easier appearance. The supply of bullion
shows a falling off of £491,856, but as there is a diminution of
£274,390 in the note circulation, the reduction in the total
reserve does not exceed £217,648.
The following are the quotations for money and the interest

It appears that the demand for salt, chiefly on United Statesand East Indian account, has been very large during the past
month. Just at this time, too, the brine springs of the W in sford district failed to such an extent that some hundreds of
f urnacés had to be stopped. Prices have risen, and it isexpected that a material advance will be established.- The
shipments to the United States last week were 24,789 tons,
against 16,207 tons'; to British-North America, 10,390 tons/
against 7,626 tons ; and to the East Indies 39,494 tons, against
35,842 tons last year.
It having been thought desirable to extend the scope of the
inquiry into the methods of storage and distribution of petro
leum in the United Kingdom, which has been instituted in
view of the proposed legislation on the subject next session*

foreign produce, and the ample supplies o f wheat and flour
afloat, produce great quietness in the wheat and flour trades,
and difficulty is experienced in obtaining former prices. Much
o f the English wheat coming forward is in poor condition, and
is disposed of with some difficulty. It is expected that large
shipments of grain will be made from Russian ports previous
to the close of navigation.
The following return shows the extent of the imports of
cereal produce into the United Kingdom during the first six
weeks of the season, the sales of home-grown produce, and the
average price realized, the visible supply of wheat in the United
States, and the supplies of wheat and flour estimated to be afloat
to the United Kingdom, compared with the three previous years:

Sir J. B. Lawes has issued his annual report upon the wheat
harvest, and, as far as the yield per acre and thè quality of the
grain are concerned, his conclusions are more satisfactory than
those hitherto formed. In the course of his letter he remarks :
M y ow n wheat cam e up slowly, but still the plant was fairly good, and
continued so up to the harvest. A fter February the weather, although
cold, was dry until the end o f June. Ju ly was wet, and the wheat was
p e g ih so c u tica l a state that at one time it appeared almost to have
suffered as m uch as the crop o f last year. Fortunately, how ever, the
early part o f the m onth o f August w as both hot and dry, and the bene
ficial effect upon the quantity, and also upon the quality, o f the wheat
was v e ry apparent. This w ill be evident when I m ention that the
nignest produce o f any experim ent in m y perm anent wheat field last
year was 3 . % bushels per acre, w eighing 59 lbs. to the bushel, while
th is year tne highest produce has reached 43% bushels per acre, weigh62 lbs. to the bushel. The follow in g table gives the present crop on
the selected experim ents w h ich have fo r so m any years been used bv
m e to show the probable w heat crop o f the cou n try :

The M oney M arket and F in an cial Situ ation .— The ad"
vanee in railway stocks in the last ten days has been the most
important, and in many respects the most significant, one for
at least six months. It ’ has demonstrated that the supply
o f stocks upon the market has been miscalculated, and indi
cates that, aside from all speculative buying and selling for the
profits that might be obtained from day to day, there have
been, during the past four or five months, a great many stocks
bought by investors and large capitalists, and withdrawn from
the market without any reference to immediate profits, be
cause they were ruling at low prices, and on the belief that
sooner or later they must recover a large part of the decline,
Incident to the advance in prices of railway stocks in the
last ten days, there has also been increased activity and a
general advance in prices of railroad bonds. This.has been to
some extent speculative, but there has also been a constant
moderate investment demand for first-class railroad bonds for
several months past, through all thè depression of stocks of
the same properties.: Comparing »the prices of January 1 or
May 1 with those about ten days ago (when the stocks were
extremely depressed) we find very little change in such rail
road bonds as New York Central first 7s, Central Pacific first
6s, Burlington & Quincy first 7s, Northwestern consols, Rock
Island & Pacific 6s, Atlantic & Pacific 6s, and many others.
In the last few days the partial restoration of confidence has
made some slight advances in this class of bonds. In the
speculative bonds the advance during the week has been
heavier, as this class of bonds sympathizes with the fluctua
tions in stock values.
The United States Sub-Treasury continues to gain in its cash
balances. A s far as the gain in specie is concerned, it is largely
the result of the movement of funds from this centre to inter
ior points, the banks depositing gold or gold certificates in
the Treasury, and in return getting an order for silver certifi
cates on some Sub-Treasury near the point where the money
is wanted. In this way from one to one and a half millions
weekly has been taken out of the banks for some weeks past.
Money has remained easy. Early in the week the quota
tion on call advanced at one tim e to 4jper cent, but the bulk
o f business has been done at 2)^@ 3 per cent, and this is the
quotation at the close.
Rates for mercantile discounts are
unchanged at
and 6 per cent for 60 days and four months
on first-class double names, and at 6 and 7 per cent on single
names.
Tire last weekly statement of the New York banks showed
a decrease of $2,904,400 of specie and a decrease of $3,680,400
of deposits. This movement is partially explained by the
transfer of Southwestern bank balances here into silver certifi
cates, which were paid over at New Orleans upon telegraphic
orders from the New York Sub-Treasury.
The Bank of England weekly statement showed a loss of
£408,000 in specie. The reserve of the Bank, which was 43%
per cent last week, has, however, been increased this week to
43 15-16 per cent. The rate of discount remains at 3 per
cent. 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 £240,000 are on the
w ay from London, with some other smaller amounts from the
Continent.

State and R a ilro ad Bonds.—The market for railroad bonds,,
as above referred to, has 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 -tbwre
is quite a heavy investment demand. The following were rae
principal changes of the week, viz. : Kansas & Texas second»
advanced 6 % per cent to 59% , and ré-acted to 58 ; Boston.
Hartford & Erie firsts advanced 6 % to 26% , and re-acted to 25;
Denver & Rio Grande Western firsts, 3 per cent to 70; Texas &
Pacific— Rio Grande division— firsts, 3 per cent to 74% , and
re-acted to 73% ; Ohio Southern firsts, 3 per cent to 83; Lafay
ette Bloomington & Muncie firsts, 3 per cent to 90; Rome
Watertown & Ogdensburg 5s, 2 % per cent to 66% , closing at.
66% ; Louisville & Nashville general mortgage 6s, 2 % per cent
to 93%, closing at 93; Denver & Rio Grande consols, 2 per cent
to 90, and re-acted to 89; Atlantic & Pacific incomes, 3 per cent
to 25%, and re-acted to 24% ; East Tennessee incomes, 3% to
29% , closing at 29 % ; do. 5s, 1% to 72 % ; Fort W orth & Den
ver City firsts, 1% to 66 % ; Hannibal & St. Joseph 6s, 1 % to
108%; New York W est Shore & Buffalo 5s, 1 % to 75% , and
re-acted to 74.
R ailroad aud M iscellaneous Stocks.— October 16 and 17
were the days on which the lowest prices for thé last three
years, were made for the great majority of stocks bought and
sold on the Stock Exchange. From this extreme depression
there was a continuous recovery up to Thursday, the 25th,
the average advance of the leading active stocks in that tim e
having been from 4 to 9 per cent, with exceptional advances o f
19% points on Michigan Central, 14% on Oregon & Trans-Con
tinental, and 14 on North. Pac. pref. But on Thursday afternoon
there was a general movement to realize profits, and from then
until Friday evening the 26th there was an almost continuous
decline, leaving the net advance in the generality of active
stocks only 2 to 6 points, with 12% on Michigan Central and 11
on Oregon Trans-Continental. So largely had the market for
certain stocks been over-sold' in the period of depression cul
minating last week, that on Saturday the 20th Northern Pacific
preferreds shares for cash commanded 15 points more than
sales made in the regular way. The week from last Friday
(19th) records a large net advance, and our detailed table on
the succeeding page will show which stocks have shared
most in the upward movement.

D akota Finances.— A recent issue of bonds of this Territory
has been made for the enlargement of the State Asylum. ^ This
immense Ten itory contains now an estimated population of
500,000. The funds have been provided for the building of the
Capitol at Bismarck, penitentiary at Bismarck, an agricul
tural college, an addition to the Hospital for the Insane at
Yankton, and other improvements which have been absolutely
necessary, and they have been made upon a very_ economical
scale. The last assessed valuation of property subject to taxa
tion was $52,000,000. The present valuation is estimated at
$80,000,000. The total debt, including bonds issued for the
above improvements, is $269,000. Its bonds are issued under
acts of the Legislature of the Territory, which are in accord
ance with powers granted to it by Congress. In case of a
division of the Territory, the laws under which most of the
bonds are issued provide that that part in which the improve
ment is located for which the bonds were issued shall assume
and pay them.

; Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati & Indianapolis Rail
w a y Company, having, by a vote of its directors, waived
its right to call in and pay its consolidated bonds under the
operation of the sinking fund, provided for in the original
issue, has authorized John A. Stewart of the United States
Trust Company, New York, to stamp the bonds on presentation
as follows : “ Pursuant to the terms of an agreement between
the company and the trustees, dated the 28th day of April,
1880, and at the request of the holders hereof, this bond is
released from the operation of the sinking fund provisions in
it mentioned. The Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati & Indian
apolis Railway Company, by John A . Stewart, its agent.” The
«company asked the Stock Exchange hereafter to have the
[VOL. X X X V II.
bonds called as consolidated bonds, and to require all bond»
to be stamped as required to make them a proper delivery.
The Governors very properly decline to make the acceptance o f
the waiver compulsory on the bondholders, but do order that
they be designated hereafter as follows, v i z /: “ Those stamped
released from sinking fund provisions to be called consolidated
mortgage bonds; those without stamp to be called consoli

Northern Pacific Railroad Company.— Under date o f
Oct. 17,1883, a 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 :
“ Y ou are requested to attend the special m eeting to he held on
November 20th, or to give authority to represent your vote at said
m eeting b y signing the accom panying proxy.
“ Y our B oard consider it their duty to submit the follow in g explana
tion relative to the Objects of the meeting. In our report fo r the fiscal
ye^r of 1882-83, you were duly advised o f the existence o f a deficiency
arising from the excess o f the cost o f construction and equipm ent off
the main line, over available resources, and am ounting on June 30th,
1883, to $7,986,507,92. Y ou were further inform ed that in order to
avoid embarrassment to the Company from the pressure o f a large float
ing debt, an arrangement had been entered into w ith -th e Oregon <fc
Transcontinental Company, under w hich that corporation made the
necessary advances in open account. It was agreed that this companyshould secure these advances tem porarily by the issue o f such obliga
tions as could be created under the restrictions of the Plan o f Re-organ
ization. This assistance proved of incalculable value, as, besides assur
ing the speedy com pletion of the road, it has saved this com pany during
construction from the constant embarrassments that a large floating
debt w ould inevitably have entailed. The deficiency at the close o f the
pdst fiscal year was increased .by further requirements for construction
and equipment purposes, between July 1 and October 1, by the sum o f
$ 1,473,412 91, so that on the latter date it .amounted to the total o f
$9,459,920 83.
E ver since it becam e evident that the main line could not be complete«!
and equipped from the proceeds o f the sale o f first m ortgage bonds,
your board has been fu lly im pressed with the necessity of dealing w ith
the deficiency at the earliest possible m om ent; 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 w ith
accuracy, w hich was not practicable until the‘!construction work had
reached its later stages It is indeed only now that we are prepared to
make a definite statement in this respect. There w ill be required in

This amount w ill provide the funds to- finish the construction and
equipm ent of the road, except the sum of $750,000, w hich will be gradu
ally needed, in the course o f tw o years subsequent to M arch 1st next,
fo r the com pletion of the bridge over the W illamette, and can be
readily m et out of current in com e, or out o f the reserve o f the bonds
hereinafter mentioned.
W e have thus a total, exclusive of the cost o f the W illam ette bridge,
o f $14,959,920.83 excess o f requirements over the proceeds of the gen
eral first mortgage bonds. It is due to you that you be told plainly, so
that you shall understand clearly, the causes that com bine to produce
this deficiency. In the first place, the cost o f the Yellow stone, Clarks*
Fork and Pend d’ Oreille divisions w as greater b y $5,500,000 than the
engineer’s original estimates. The loose material encountered, instead
o f solid rock, in the Bozeman and Mullan tunnels largely increased the
cost o f these works over estimates, besides necessitating the construc
tion of temporary overhead lines at an expense o f $140,000. The cost
of the Bismarck, Snake R iver and W illamette bridge w ill be m ore than
was expected, owing to the extra cost of the foundations, approaches,
&c. Then, again, the developm ent o f traffic was such that fu lly forty
per cent more mfttive pow er and equipm ent was required than had
been estimated. Last, and not least, the Minnesota, Dakota and Missouri
divisions of the main line were in such condition, and the requirements
o f business so large, that in order to render their safe and econom ical
operation practicable, a total expenditure during the past three years o f
$3 804,501 51 for renewal o f track and superstructure, erection on
shops at Brainerd and elsewhere, and other betterments, was indispen
sable. The cost of the erection of the office building at St. Paul is also
included in these expenditures.
We do not hesitate to say that it is as good a road as has ever been
built for the m oney west of the Mississippi R iver. It has been ex
amined b y a number o f eminent Am erican and foreign experts since
the opening to through traffic, and their united testim ony is to this
effect. And it is to the thorough character o f the construction that the
excess of the actual cost over the estimates m ust be largely ascribed,
but on the other hand the road w ill hereafter be operated so m uch more
cheaply and efficiently, in consequence o f the thorough m anner in
which it has been built, that the stockholders w ill find that they have a
full equivalent in the enhanced expenditure.
After due consideration o f the situation o f the com pany in all its
bearings your Board concluded to request your consent to the creation
o f a second m ortgage as security for the issue o f $20,000,000 o f 6 per
cent gold bonds. The new m ortgage w ill be on all the property o f this
com pany (except the lands east o f the Missouri R iver, w hich w ere
reserved b y the plan of reorganization fo r the benefit o f the preferred
stock) subject only to the priority o f the present general m ortgage, and
it w ill’be similar in term s and conditions to the general m ortgage, and
subject only to its liens.
Y our Board is pleased to say that it has received a proposition from a
syndic;.te represented b y Messrs. D rexel, Morgan & Co., W inslow,
Lanier & Co., and August Belmont & Co., to take $15,000,000 of these
second m ortgage bonds firm at the price o f 8 7 ^ cash, less 5 per ce n t
commission in bonds, with a six months’ option to take $3,000,000
more on the same terms. Considering the proposition a fayorable one,
O c t o b e r 27, 1883. J
THE CHRONICLE
w e accepted it subject to tlie authorization o f the m ortgage h^ you at
the special m eeting to be held N ovember 20.
The sale o f the $18,000,000 o f second m ortgage bonds at the stated
price w ill enable the com pany to m eet all its existing liabilities, and
p rovid e fo r its com ing construction and equipm ent requirements and
leave a reserve o f $1,100,000 o f bonds in the treasury.
Y our B oard regrets the necessity o f the creation o f a new lien upon
y ou r property, but the stockholders should remem ber that every dollar
o f additional capital put into the road adds to its value and earning
capacity, and perm its o f its m ore econom ic operation. The earnings of
the road during the five weeks it has been operated as a through line
from September 8, have fu lly m et our expectations, being * 1,511 «0 0
(excluding construction and com pan y freight), and w e feel sure that
th ey w ill continue to do so. A ll com petent ju dges w ho know the system
o f railroads, steam boat and steamship lines tributary to the main line
on the Pacific coast, agree w ith us that the through business w ill add
v ery largely to our gross earnings. M oreover, on O ctober 1, under an
am icable arrangem ent w ith the U nion Pacific Railroad Company the
business o f Butte City, M ontana, was opened to this com pany! and as

to keep out of our figures, as cabled to us for the ports other
than Bombay, cargoes which proved only to be shipment« from
one India port .to another. The plan now followed relieves us
from the danger of this inaccuracy*and keeptf the totals correct.

J u te B u t t s , B a g g in g , E t c .— The market for bagging is very
firm, owing to the higher .figures asked for butts, and sellersare showing' no anxiety to sell, except at full rates. Th&
inquiry has been fair, and orders are being filled at 9c. for
lbs., 9 % g. for 1 % lbs., 10%c. for for 2 lbs. and n % e . for stand
ard grades. Butts have been quite active, and the market isin good shape. There have been some large sales since ourlast, about 10,000 bales beiqg placed, mostly paper grades, at.
2 % @ 2 ^ c ., though 4,000 bales bagging are reported.
Prices
are very firm at the close, dealers quoting 2 7-16@2%c. for
paper grades and 2%@2%e. for bagging quality.

E ast I n d ia C r o p . — Messrs. Wallace & Co., under date,of Bom
bay, Sept. 18, speak as follows •with regard to the crop i
“ The weather continues very favorable for the growing crop.
There has scarcely been any rain in Bombay, and the break has.
extended to all cotton-growing districts just when it was wanted,. ■
Some more rain at the end of this month will be required in
the Oomrawuttee district to mature the plants, and if there
should be rain then, which is likely, a large yield may be ex
pected from that district. It is rather early yet to speak with
any certainty as to the Broach and Dhollerah crops. So far,
the weather has been very favorable, but the ultimate out-turn
of these crops depends upon heavy dews for the former, and
ram for the latter, in December.”

lots of brown sheetings were sold by jobbers at relatively low
figures, in order to stimulate trade. Print cloths were in light

D omestic W oolen G oods — There was a moderate business
in spring cassimeres and worsted suitings by the clothing trade,
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 l !mited amount, and in relatively
small lots. Overcoatings ruled quiet, and satinets and Ken
tucky jeans were in meagre d-mand, while a fair distribution o f
ladies' cloth, tricots, sackings, heavy Jersey cloths and stock
inettes was made in moderate-sized parcels.
Fiannels 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 rega-.ds new
business, yet current sales, coupled with deliveries on account
of back orders, reached a fair amount, and stocks are in such
good shape that prices are firmly maintained. In shawls, carpets,
hosiery and knit underwear there was a steady but strictly
moderate business at unchanged prices.

there was a steady call ft>r small lots of velvets, plushes 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.
