to the people of. the non-contiguous counties to stand
about like this—“ Why should we vote taxes out of our
own pockets to help a canal which does not help us, but
carries Western products to the seaboard, thus hurting
us as far as it affects us at all ?
If the canal builds up
New York City let the city take care of it; we shall not
willingly be made to compete with Western farmers and
then do it at our own cost.”
This is a specious view, and
is so, to some extent, even among the farmers in the canal
counties; but it is found no more than specious when care¬
fully investigated.

requisite to offset the tolls proposed to be given up
wouldnot, by reasonable estimate, be over $125,000. If any¬
body demurs that this is a matter of schools, and the sub¬
ject up just now is that of the canals, we have only to
reply that the prosperity which has enabled these counties
to pay so great a proportion of the school tax was the re¬
sult in good part of the canals and the traffic they have
brought to this centre.
Moreover, we do not hesitate to characterize the ques¬

PARLIAMENT AND THE NATIONAL LEAGUE,1
The
assembling of Parliament has furnished much less
opportunity for speculation than in the circumstances was
expected. Mr. Gladstone was cheerful hnd even buoyant..
IIow he “ destroyed, smashed, pulverized” Lord Ran¬
dolph Churchill, is matter of record. His party were in
excellent spirits, as well they might be ; and there was,,
and still is, every visible sign of unity.
The Opposition
has hardly ever appeared to less advantage.
The argu¬
ment raised against the irregularity of an autumn session
revealed in a very striking manner the poverty of their
resources, and showed very clearly on which side the
political force of the day is ranged.
As the Government is but little likely to experience
much difficulty in connection with the late affray in
Egypt, or with the re-establishment of law and order in
that country, Ireland again threatens to stand in the fore¬
ground. On the occasion of the meeting of the new
National League in Dublin, both Mr. Parnell and Mr.
Davitt made it abundantly plain that they did not regard
their work as done, the latter still harping on the dispos¬
session of the landlords and the former pointing to Home
Rule as the ultimate of all their efforts. “The inspiration
of all our struggles,” says the address to the Irish people,
is to transfer all local power and patronage from privi¬
leged strangers to the hands of the people, and so fortify
the people for the work of self-government.”
Thesewords, taken in connection with the frequent utterances of

and

Irish leaders,

difficulty lies. Mr. Parnell is pledged, and his party is

below the Bank of England minimum, which remains
The disparity between the official and 14 out¬
side” rates of discount is again productive of
criticism, and an
“official’' rate is being regarded more
seriously. It i>sveryclear that when the Bank of England is known to
take bills
under their published minimum-, and that when the
open market
rates of discount are very easy, the foreign
exchanges are tot
materially’ affected. Five per cent may be looked upon by the
aged merchants as the rate of discounts, but times have so
changed that exchange operations are naturally calculated
under present circumstances upon a four per cent
rate, and
the higher bank rate exercises but little influence. In
other
words, so long as the rate of discount in the open market is one
per cent below the bank rate and as long as money,
excepting
at Paris, is dearer at the principal commercial and
financial
centres abroad than it is here we cannot expect gold to find
its
way to this market in any considerable quantity.
The autumnal drain upon us, however, does not seem to
be
of a very extensive character.
In fact, the requirements of the
mercantile community are below the average, and it is now
regarded as almost certain that the year’s trade will terminate
in a very quiet manner, and, considering the
hopes which were
held out, will prove to be a disappointment.
e Egyptian
war has
undoubtedly exercised a paramount influence as no
one was able to rely upon the unforeseen.
Many serious diffi¬
culties were likely to arise, and may still arise, but there is
evidently sufficient faith and confidence in the future, and in an
honorable adjustment of prevailing difficulties, that
beyond trade
being kept in check, it is n^t likely that they will exert any
influence. The autumn trade is disappointing because there
has been no increase in it; but we may yet hope that with an
improved political situation, the future of our commerce may
be more satisfactory.
The general demand for money has been upon a very mod¬
erate scale ; but there has been some inquiry for short loans in
connection with the Stock Exohange settlements and with some
important loans. The payment of the dividends has increased
the supply of funds in the market, and, in the absence of
any
revived demand, the rates of discount have been declining, and

purchased with others the control of the “ nickelplated” road, we must suppose that he has considered it neces¬
sary to do this in order to protect his other roads between
Buffalo and Chicago lying to the north of it. The cost of the
New York Chicago & St. Louis has been pretty well made
known to the world, and it was probably not over $18,000,000,
exclusive of equipment, so the suggestion will possibly come up
in the mind of some inquisitive and enterprising railroad cap¬
italist, whether any better enterprise could now be found than
the construction of another railroad from Chicago to Buffalo,
located between the Lake Shore and the “nickel-plated,” not to
be operated for its earnings, but only “ to sell.”
The sale of this chief road of the Seney management, how¬
ever has another aspect of great interest.
It marks the first
grand and successful disposition of a property organized and
carried through under what may be termed the
Seney method
of financiering.
With the boom which set in after the
resumption of specie payments on Jan. 1, 1879, while other
railroad men were pursuing the old and beaten
paths of
railroad construction with nothing more novel or
profit¬
able to help them than the Construction Company
(though,
Allah be praised, that seemed to be profitable
enough), Mr.
Seney invented or thought out a new method. This method
was based on the
discovery that no stock, however large its
issue, or however vague its prospects short of absolute in¬
solvency, would often sell below 10 at the Stock Exchange,
with any kind of speculative support behind it. Then said
Mr. Seney, let us create new railroads and issue
enough stocks
to make large profits if they sell
at 10—8—6—any thing per cent.
And it was done. New York

United States Bonds.—Government three per cent bonds
have been in good demand from banks and others having
called bonds to replace, and prices have consequently been
strong.
The 4

sharply braced up by the “ nickel-plate ” transaction. “ There
had been a tendency towards improvement, and it was evident
that during the past ten days many of the bears had covered

of the periodical weakness in the Gould specialties and a few
others. Then came the announcement on Thursday that the
control of the New York Chicago & St. Louis line had been

proceeds of this issue of 60,000 additional shares to stock¬
holders of record, at par, were being used in carrying out the
general programme adopted in 1880 and 1881 for the construc¬
tion of railroad main lines and branches. In the fall of last
year
the board of directors decided that it would be for the
best interest of the company to push to completion the Colum¬
bia River line between Portland and the Dalles, and the line
between Umatilla and Baker City at the earliest possible
moment, and for this purpose to make a further issue of stock
in the same manner as the preceding one.”
As shown in the statements of the Treasurer, the total receipts
and disbursements for the fiscal year have been:

This included $4,200,000 from the new stock subscription for

the outstanding stock to $16,200,000. Since then the remaining

to September 15. The available resources
of the company will fall short of this requirement, but to what
extent cannot be stated at this time, as the amount of the short¬
age will, in a great measure, depend upon current earrings dur¬
ing the remainder of the year. As soon as the additional
requirements shall be more definitely ascertained, your board
of directors will advise .you of what financial measures will be
proposed to meet it. This further need for construction pur¬
poses exceeds the anticipations of the management.
It is due
mainly to the excess of the cost of the Dalles and Portland
section of the main, or Columbia River, line, and of the Baker
City branch, over previous estimates. The former includes the
line through the Cascade Mountains, the latter the crossing of
the lange of the Blue Mountains.” * * * “ Their value to
the company will be so great that the increased cost will in the
end be of but little moment. This is especially true of the
Dalles and Portland line. There is no part of the company’s
lines that it was wiser and more necessary to construct at the
earliest possible moment and that will yield better and quicker

Allegheny Central.—Tn regard to the decline in this stock
KLeman's iSeiosLetter said:;** The stock, $1,000,000 in amount,
listed a few weeks ago and has undergone the customary
manipulation. The bulk is held by officers of the road and by
a strong syndicate.
It. appears that quite i block of stock has
gone info the hands of parties interested in defeating the plans
of the company.
Yesterday afternoon it was decided by insiders to withdraw all supporting orders in the hope of bringing out this stock. An officer of the company says that the
road earned 4 per oent on the stock last year, and will earn six
per cent the coming year.

thereon
as may

Opinion by Justice
Mr. Edwin Walker, tbe attorney of tli© bondholders of the
Chicago Danville & Vrineennes, stated to a Chicago Tribune
reporter
that this last decision of the Supreme Court vacates
the orders of the Circuit Court confirming the Master’s report
of the sale under the original decree and the orders directing
the Master to execute and deliver the purchasers a deed of the
property.
This leaves the foreclosure proceedings precisely as
the case stood at the first reference to the Master before the
decree. Mr. Walker also gave his opinion of what the future
course of proceedings would be, as follows: “ The case will be
referred to ascertain the amount now due on the first mortgage
bonds. Upon this reference the Master will probably be required
to ascertain and report the net earnings of the road from the
time the purchasers were given possession, April, 1877. These
now represented by the Chicago & Eastern Illinois,
claim to be the owners of 2,820 of the 2,500 bonds, and their
claim will be reduced by the net earnings. The holders of the
purchasers,
•remaining 170 bonds, who did not join the syndicate of the
bondholders for the purchase of the property, claim payment
of the bonds in full.
When the amount found due the bond¬
holders is ascertained, the old company, upon payment, will be
entitled to the possession of the road.
By the reversal of the
decree and orders, the legal title of the Chicago Danville & Vin¬
cennes
Company is maintained. U he Supreme Court ou Monday
favor of the purchasing
also rendered a deficiency decree in
bondholders for about $1,800,000.”
Colorado Coal & Iron Co.—The President, Mr. W. J.
Palmer, has issued a circular to the security holders of this
company, in which it is stated that “the net earnings, exclusive
of land sales, are at the rate of over $450,000 per annum, and
that the current net earnings since the nail wToiks were started
are at the rate of $50,000 monthly.
In addition, the land sales
for the eight months to Sept. 1 were $67,200.
Although the
year’s operations include practically but eight months of the
steel business and three months of the nail manufacture, it is
evident that the net earnings for 18S2 will exceed three-fold
the interest on all bonds outstanding; also that the company’s
monthly profits,
over
and above interest and exclusive of
any
land sales, are now at the rate of over 4 per cent upon its stock.’*

Fort Worth & Denver City.—Complaint was made to theofficers of the Stock Exchange that this stock, while quoted on
the Board at 40 or thereabouts, was offered on the Street at
much lower figures, and that the sales at the Stock Exchangemust be “ washed” sales.
It was also said that the stock could
not be had for delivery, and that it appeared as if a corner had
been made .by the stock not being issued.
The Governing
Committee decided that dealings in Fort Worth & Denver City
should be suspended during an investigation. It was said that
the trouble was due to sales having been made by stockhold¬
ers of the
Texas & Colorado Improvement Company, who
looked for a dividend on their improvement stock, and expect¬
ing to receive Fort Worth & Denver, sold the latter below the
market to be delivered when they received the expected stock
cash
on
dividend.
Henry E. Wallace, the Assistant Secretary, Treasurer
and
transfer agent, made an affidavit before the Stock Exchange
Committee in which it was stated, among other things, that—
“On tin- lOtli of October, 1882, tbe board of directors of tbe improve¬
ment company declared a dividend of 70 per cent in tbe lirst mort¬
gage bonds of the railway company upon tbe capital stock of tbe im¬
provement company, which bad made six calls upon its subscribera.of
10 percent each and no more.
Tbe board of directors of the improve¬
passed a resolution that the President of the improve¬
‘be and be is hereby authorized to bargain, sell, assign
and transfer any and all tbe certiticates of tbe capital stock of the Fort
Worth & Denver City Railway Company now- owned or which may
hereafter be owned by this company, if and when in bis judgment it was
expedient to do so. It lias net been deemed expedient as yet to sell the
said stock, with the exception of about 6,600 shares hereinafter men¬
tioned, because tbe earnings and resources present and prospective of
tbe said road give it not only a prospective but an intrinsic value
greater than could now be procured here upon the market; so that
only about six thousand shares of the said stock have been sold ana
disposed of by tbe construction company, partly to (on tractors ana
partly for tbe purpose of laising means for paying liabilities. The
stock has been regularly listed on the Stock Exnbange and an office for
its transfer established in New York City, where tbe stock is regularly
transferred, and a large number of shares have been transferred, ana
tbe same stands in tbe name of a considerable number of persons, most

of whom are not shareholders in tbe improvement company or other¬
wise interested in it.
When tbe 70 per cent dividend in lirst mortgage
bonds was made to tbe subscribers of tbe improvement company, they
received therefor tbe bonds, and tlieir receipts for instalments paler
w-ere stamped as follows: ‘ Dividend of 70 per cent in bonds delivered.

Monday and again on Thursday. The business has been mod¬
erate for export and home consumption.
The excellent quali¬
ty and condition of the new crop has caused it to be preferred
to old cotton, of which, however, but insignificant parcels re¬
main. To-day the market was steady, with a considerable

Monday there was a sharp decline, under the return of
clear weather at the South and the absence of reports that the
recent bad weather had done any serious injury. Tuesday
opened weak from the same cause, but the relatively low
prices then made caused a demand to cover contracts, upon
which the early decline was recovered. On Wednesday, how¬
ever, there was a fresh decline to the lowest figures made in
Sat.

1881 were 1,404,868 bales; in 1880 were 1,561,033 bales.
2. That, although the receipts at the out-ports the past week
were 241,738 bales, the actual movement from plantations was256,016 bales, the balance going to increase the stocks at
the interior towns.
Last year the receipts from the planta¬

Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table fe
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.

plies cannot arrive in Europe under the most favorable circumstances
before the middle of December. The means of transport for produce in
Egypt are still much disorganized; the railways are all monopolized by
the military service, and some time will also elapse before all the gin¬
ning works can be started again. There is a want of engineers and
Europeans generally, and places in the interior not occupied by the
British troops are not yet safe for Europeans, and many were compelled
to return to Alexandria again.
It will certainly take considerable time
till the former confidence and harmony are re-established.
I am of opinion that under these circumstances the present low level
for November-December shipments is hardly justified, as the value of
the first picking is always much greater than tiie later receipts.
About quality of the new crop it is too early to form an opiuion.

Friday, P. M., October 27, 1882.
Flour has been
less
depressed of late, in sympathy
with a
declining market for wheat, and the transactions havi
reached only a moderate
aggregate.
Jobbing houses flue
themselves well supplied, and exporters* purchases have beer
mainly of the low grades. The quality of the new wintei
wheat flour is, on the
whole, very fine, but the firm prices a
which the better
grades are held curtails their consumption
though flour is now, all things considered, one of the cheape3l
articles that enter into
anything like a general consumption
The receipts of winter wheat
brands have incresed of late, anc
this fact,
together with the depression in wheat, has caused ai
especially weak market for these brands. To-day the markei
was quiet and
steady for winter wheat brands, but dull an(
heavy for spring.
Wheat has fallen about 3 cents
during the week, and only a
Moderate business, whether for
export, milling, or on specula

freights hav<
