The prospect opened up by the Berlin Congress has not been realized. At the end of two years, the pro¬ visions of the Berlin treaty have not all been carried out; and we have been permitted to witness the strange and unexampled spectacle of moribund Turkey defying the joint naval strength of the Powers and checkmating their counsels, There is a reasonable presumption now that Montenegro will be satisfied with the cession of Dulcigno; but there is no evidence that the .Sultan is disposed to yield to the advice of the Powers in the matter of Greece, while there is every evidence that Greece is resolute in pressing her demand, and that the Powers are unwilling to take any further steps in the way of coercing the Sultan into compliance with their wishes. Considering the state of feeling which prevails among the Slavic tribes of the Peninsula as well as among the Greeks, we do not consider that it would be matter for wonder or surprise if the breaking up of the so-called European concert and the abandonment of the naval demonstration were followed by a general rising of the non-Mohammedan population, from the Adriatic to the Sea oi 411 CHRONICLE.

But what with the government against the unauthorized religious orders in France, the growing republican sentiment in Spain, the perplexing questions which still divide the opinions of Italian statesmen, the rival and conflicting forces which still mar the unity of the German empire, the nationality questions, apparently destined to grow in number, which vex and harass the House of Hapsburg and the states¬ men of Vienna, and, above all, the social, political and movement imperial-household questions which distract the attention of the Czar and his subjects,we are prevented from regard¬ ing the general European prospect as one altogether free from cloud and shadow.

The British Government again brought face to face with an Irish rebellion. We are hardly permitted any longer to doubt that there will be an open collision ; nor can we doubt the result. In considering this English-Irish difficulty we are influ¬ enced by no partisan views, There must be some reason, doubtless, for this deep-rooted and irreconcilable hatred which a certain large section of the Irish people cherish towards English rule. As we have already, on more than one occasion, shown in these columns, this reason, whatever its value, is based on the things of the past, rather than on the things of the present; and this ap¬ parently ineradicable feeling of these Irish Irreconcilables is a fomething wh'ch finds all its nourishment and sus¬ tenance in memory acd tradition far more than in any present injustice or any immediate wrong. It is undeniable that the men now in power in Great Britain, the men whose management of affairs these Irish malcontents are seriously embarrassing, have repeatedly proved themselves, both by purpose and by action, by promises made and by promises fulfilled, the friends of Ireland and her people. It is notorious that in the last session of Parliament, they staked both reputation and power, in their efforts to bring about a better state of relationship between the Irish landlord and the Irish farmer. It is equally notorious that Mr. Gladstone and his friends in the Ministry have, by their patient endur¬ ance of the undisguisedly revolutionary conduct of Parnell and his associates, sacrificed much of their in¬ fluence with the British people generally, and probably imperilled their position as ministers of the crown.« '1 he government,‘however, can no longer afford to wink is condition of affairs in Ireland.

It is true that the daily production of the Pennsyl¬ vania oil regions now averages 70,000 barrels per day as against 60,000 barrels during the months of December 1879, and January, 18S0. It is also a noticeable fact that the exports from January 1, 18S0, up to October 22, 1880, were 263,294,432 gallons of crude equivalent, whereas during the same period in 1879 they were the best Exporters, however, assert that Europe turned thd new- year with large sur¬ plus stocks ; but these, in a measure, have been reduced by greater demands for consump¬ tion from the interior.

The principal feature in the money market during the pres¬ ent week has been a rise of 1 per cent—or to 3/6 per cent—in the Bank of France rate, in consequence of the further exports which have been made of gold, and chiefly to London. The Bank of England has received a considerable amount of French coin during the week, and the Bank of France return shows that the supply of bullion has been diminished by 80 millions of francs. The advance in the rate of discount in Paris has not, however, had at present much effect here. The Bank return is of a satisfactory character, and is certainly not indicative of immediately dearer, money. It shows, indeed, changes inci¬ dental chiefly to the payment of the dividends, the treasury balance having fallen off to the extent of £1,340,841, while the Government have repaid the Bank a sum of £200,000, and loans and discounts show a decrease of £944,565. The increase in the supply of bullion amounts to £249,734, against a recorded influx from foreign and colonial sources of £738,000. The difference is due to withdrawals of coin for provincial and Scotch cir¬ culation. There is a small decrease in the circulation of notes, and the total reserve has been augmented by £400,294. The proportion of reserve to liabilities is now 47*27 per cent, against 44 98 per cent last week. The question now arises—How long will it be before our money market will be affected, and when is it probable that an advance in the Bank rate will be found to be necessary ? This difficult to answer, and even the leading Excess of exports over imports $ $136,016,604 $230,235,510 authorities are unprepared with a Excess of iinports over exports 5,&ii.4i6 reply. It is quite evident that any increase in the value of money is not likely to arise The following is a statement showing, by principal customs from an improved trade demand. The amount of business in districts, th# values of merchandise imported into and exported progress is not of an unsatisfactory character ; but the mercan¬ from the Unittd States during the month of tile demand for money is on a very moderate scale, and it will September, 1880: Imports 72,580,465 402,259,017 516,04^,737 is a question very October 30, THE 1880.J CHRONICLE. probably increase daring the present year. • The seasc n is becoming too advanced to anticipate any great improve¬ ment, but there are well-founded hopes that, if the Eastern difficulty should be arranged before the new year commences, the trade of 1881 will compare very favorably with the current year. The steady process of improvement which is in progress is undoubtedly a very satisfactory feature, as it shows that there is little, if any, desire on the part of merchants to depart from legitimate and sound trading. We may hope, therefore,, that the nucleus of a sound and healthy trade has been formed, and that early in the new year a further expansion of our commerce will take place. As we can certainly expect very little effect to be produced on the money market during the current year, we must look chiefly to the movements in gold and securities for a change. The London market being now the cheapest in Europe, it is but natural that bills will be sent here for dis¬ count, and money borrowed on securities on easier terms either than in Paris or Berlin. The Bank of England directors may therefore be compelled to raise their rate of discount, though of such a movement there are no present indications. With so large an amount of securities affoat as is now the case, gold movements are uncertain. Paris, which has for a long time been a buyer of securities may, if the necessity arise, become a seller, and may quickly turn the exchanges in her favor. The French exchange will be watched with much attention during the next few weeks ; but the improvement in the New York exchanges leads to the belief that further large supplies of gold will not be immediately required for the United States. The demand for discount accommodation during the week has been very moderate; but in consequence of the Stock Exchange settlement, short loans have been rather more in request. They have, however, been obtainable at the rate of 1% to 2 per cent per annum. The following are the present quotations for money : not now 413 understood that further supplies of gold have been taken out export, but the latest report is that the movement has been checked. The demand has been not only for the United States, the amount sold for export, in addition to 30 millions of francs to the United States and 15,000,000 to England, being 10,000,000 francs to Egypt, and about 10,000,000 to Austria, and it is ex¬ pected that gold will also soon be required by Spain and Italy.

Some discoveries of gold would undoubtedly be of benefit, as that metal is being more generally used as a standard of value, and is annually becoming relatively more scarce. The most important financial operation of the week has been the success of the 3^ per cent loan of the Corporation of Liv¬ erpool. The amount required was £2,000,000, and the applica¬ tions amounted to £4,200,000. Tenders at par will receive about 55 per cent, and above that price in full. The highest new £105.

Holders^ however, are very firm, and are by no means inclined to press sales. The Continent is still a large importer of wheat. The deficiency in the rye crop in Germany is calculated to lead to an increased demand. There is also a considerable inquiry for Indian com, partly on German account. During the week ended October 9 the sales of home-grown wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and Wale3 amounted to 50,110 quarters, against 19,361 quarters last year; and it is estimated that in the whole kingdom they were 200,440 quarters, against 77,450 quarters in 1879 and 240,500 quarters in 1878. Since harvest the sales in the 150 principal markets have been 253,507 quarters, against 109,896 quarters last year; while it is computed that in the whole kingdom they have been 1,014,030 quarters, against 439,600 quarters in 1879 and 1,617,000 quarters in 1878. Without reckoning the supplies furnished ex-granary at the commencement of the season, it is estimated that the following quantities of wheat and flour have been placed upon the British markets since harvest.

The great sensations of the period now are stock divi¬ dends. Only eighteen months ago the idea of a stock divi¬ dend on the best railroad stock in the market wrould have been considered preposterous, and now there are few stocks so poor that the possibility of a stock dividend on them is not talked of. The prediction of a stock dividend, too, is always a good rumor, because it can never be positively denied. The proposal to pay a cash dividend on certain stocks is easily proved absurd by the entire absence of cash to pay it, either in the past or present. But the wherewithal to make stock distributions can never fail so long as printing presses run or printers’ ink shall continue to flow. The money market has been quite easy within a limit of 2%@ according to the collaterals. Prime 4 per cent for call loans, commercial paper is quoted The at 4% @5 per cent.

Railroad bonds have been very active—more active than in any previous week of the Fall season. Several issues of bonds have been dealt in very heavily, and the advance in prices has rivaled the buoyancy in active speculative stocks. At the New York Stock Exchange, Erie second consoli¬ dated sold up to 97% on large purchases. Texas & Pacific firsts, Rio Grande Division, on large sales reached 92, and the Missouri Kansas & Texas first consolidated sold at 111% and the seconds a,t 68% this afternoon. • • The Ohio & Mississippi Railway Company will pay one coupon on the second mortgage bonds on November 1 and another on the 12th of November.

It is the custom in England to divide the clear net income of a railroad to the stockholders and pay for per¬ manent improvements out of capital account. It is now claimed that the dividend of 0 per cent on Erie preferred, having been fully earned for the past year, should be paid; and also that on the large exhibit of earnings by the Pennsylvania Railroad the semi-annual dividend should be at least 4 per cent. The North¬ west and St. Paul stocks close near the prices of last, week, and in regard to the payment of a stock dividend on St. Paul pre¬ ferred, it is stated that about $31,000,000 of the bonds are con¬ vertible, on certain terms, into the preferred stock.

Since tnat period the Detroit Adrian & Southwestern Railway Com¬ pany has been incorporated, and a road is now in course of construction between the cities of Detroit and Butler—a point on the Eel River section of the Wabash system—which will, in connection with the Great Western Railway, materially shorten the route from St. Louis and other southwestern points to New York and the northern Atlantic ports. The new railway will have its terminus at Detroit, in the depot of the Detroit Grand Haven & Milwaukee Railway Company. An agreement has been negotiated with the Wabash St. Louis & Pacific Railway Com¬ pany for the conveyance of through traffic by this newr route, and will on completion of the railway be substituted for the previous agreement. By this arrangement a direct connection will be formed with the Wabash system, from which the directors anticipate a considerable increase of traffic. The operations of the Detroit Grand Haven & Milwaukee Railway from Nov. 14, 1878, to Dec. 31, 1879, resulted in a net revenue surplus of $50,557, and the directors have now to announce that a dividend of 3 per cent on the share capital, amounting to $45,000, or £9,247, has been paid and placed to the credit of the Great Western Company. GENERAL INVESTMENT NEWS. Atlantic & Pacific.—The press despatches from Washing¬ ton, October 2S, report that the Attorney-General has made an important decision touching the legal right of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company to public lands by reason of con¬ tinuing the construction and equipment of its road under the act of Congress organizing that company. The Atlantic & Pacific Company has been succeeded by the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company, but for the past nine years no addition has been made to its road-bed and fctrack, and there¬ fore no claim could be made upon the Government for lands, the grant being contingent upon the construction and equip¬ ment of the road. Recently, however, the St. Louis & San Francisco Company began the construction of the Atlantic & Pacific road from its western terminus, and having con¬ structed fifty miles of road made] application to have the same inspected by United States Commissioners, pre¬ paratory to having the same accepted by the Govern¬ and public lands transferred to the as lands earned under the charter of the Atlantic & company Pacific Com¬ When this application was made at the Interior Depart¬ pany. ment, the question arose as to whether the land grant of the Atlantic & Pacific Company had not been forfeited by reason of the failure of the company or its successors to complete the road within a given period of time.

After other discussion, further time was given the committee to secure co-operation from the bondholders toward completing the road, and the meeting adjourned until Friday. Butler & Detroit.—The Northwestern Ohio and the Butler & Detroit Railroad companies have filed articles of consolida¬ tion. The name of the company is the Butler & Detroit Rail¬ road Company.

The grades will be about alike, and are not a conspicuous feature on either road. The trouble from snow-blockade on the older line has never been serious, and the exemption to the new line will be limited to the winter months, and be offset by severe heat and drought in summer. There is no doubt, however, that the Southern line will divide to some extent the through business with the Central, as tourist 1870-42356.,9 will be apt to go by one route and return by the osher, as President Hayes is even now doing, before the gap is quite closed, there being about 150 miles of staging between the two termini. The Pacific through freight traffic has never been so heavy nor so lucrative as to make it a prize worth contending for; and it is perhaps a fortunate circum¬ stance for both the companies concerned, while the enterprises are in their infancy at least, that the bulk of the ownership of both the Southern and Central portions of the two routes are held in the same hands, as this will prevent anything like incessant and ruinous competition for what through traffic there is. Travelers and shippers can have a choice of routes at passengers fair rates. The chief source of net revenue to the Southern line, as it is found to be of the older line (no less than 65 per cent on the Central Pacific end) is found to be from local traffic. The through tonnage is larger, but as much of it is taken at rates competing with those of steamers and sailing craft, it is carried •at little or no profit. From local industries along their lines both companies may expect satisfactory returns. Indeed, this has been a chief incentive to their rapid extension, as the ■advent, of the railroads in Colorado and New Mexico, as well as in Arizona, has stimulated an immense mining industry for the precious metals, which has led to a profitable railroad "business ■at once. All over these Territories are hundreds of new gold .and silver mines opening, and the machinery and supplies ordered for their working, together with the ores or crude metal, furnishes freight for the rails. The discoveries keep up, and there is no predicting the limit of expansion of this industry. On the Mexican side of the line—in Sonora and Chi¬ huahua—are similar evidences of mineral wealth. It is not doubtful, therefore, where the receipts of the company are to come from, without counting upon the growth of overland communication. Besides, at the California end the line trav¬ erses some wheat, of the great grain and fruit-bearing valleys. The and semi-tropical fruits of Southern growing, as the pasturage of live stock on wild grapes, oranges California are lands declines.

The published earnings show, however, that those of the Southern Pacific are more than sufficient to meet its fixed charges, and consequently it is worked by the lessor company at a profit. The Southern Pacific of California has its terminus in the city of San Francisco, with a water front on the bay, and extends in A southerly and easterly direction along and across California. The Northern Division, of which 176 miles are in operation (including the Monterey spur), runs at no great distance from .the coast, and is separated from the other portions by an unbuilt gap of 100 to 180 miles, according to the route adopted, this portion being left for more mature determination after the through line has been opened. accommodated by using In the meantime the traffic is the nearly parallel line of the San Joaquin Branch of the Central. At point on its line 375 miles from San Francisco, the mad emerges from the great longitudinal depression of California, and begins the ascent of the Sierra Nevada mountain range,which here curves to the westward, and extends to, and abuts upon, the Pacific Ocean, so as to form a steep wall in the path of any railroad crossing from the central to the southern watersheds of that State. The Southern Company, having the pick of the whole virgin country before it, naturally chose the most fertile valleys and routes of least obstacles for its line. The crossing of the mountains at Tehachapa Pass was, nevertheless, a very difficult and costly undertaking. The range is crossed at 4,000 feet altitude above sea level, and the road to cross and recross it at San Fernando required twenty tunnels, one of them C*096 feet in length. It is believed that no other line between Los Angeles and San Francisco—470 miles—could be'built for a •less than double the cost of the Southern. Across Arizona and New Mexico, likewise, the road is laid along the fertile portions 455 and by the only feasible routes. The total cost of the 712 miles of road in operation in California Dec. 31, 1879, is given at $67,031,500, exclusive of equipment. The total of bonds is¬ sued is $29,186,000, and of stock, $36,763,900. The bonds, at the rate of $40,000 per mile, are, however, a mortgage on the lands. The cost of the portion east of California, from Yuma to the Rio Grande at El Paso, 575 miles, are estimated at $40,000,000 more. CALIFORNIA DIVISIONS—ROAD OPERATED.

There are but few harbors of any kind, and only one good one on United States territory. For more than a thousand miles on either hand of San Francisco there is no harbor for large vessels easy of approach. This circumstance, with others, must tend to build up San Francisco to a great city. Beyond the Pacific lie China and Japan and the East Indies, with one-third of the population of the globe. Already the young metropolis of 30 years lias nearly a quarter of a million souls, and after the throes of a struggle between the industrious and the idling por¬ tions of its population are over it will, no doubt, enter afresh upon a grand career. No city in the world is more favorably situated for a great popu¬ lation and commerce, and, at the same time, for a large suburban population. Already the route of the Southern Pacific for fifty miles along the peninsula is dotted with thrifty suburban towns and elegant private residences. This movement will in time spread 75 miles further south until it embraces both shores of Monterey Bay. The climate of Monterey is so genial in winter as well as in summer as to attract many tourists and pleasureseekers to it as a sanitarium and sea-side resort. A magnificent hotel has been erected, and there are drives, fountains, parks, a race-course, a church and all the adjuncts of a high civilization, which are attracting all the year round thousands from the interior regions. Express trains will run the distance in three hours, so as to make of the San Francisco end of the line a very busy thoroughfare. The eastern terminus of the Southern Pacific Railroad proper will be at the southeast corner of New Mexico, near El Paso, a distance of about 1,300 miles from San Francisco; but there are signs that this will not, after all, be the real terminus of the Southern route. Under other organizations the connec¬ tion is to be made with New Orleans, across Texas and West Louisiana. The President of the Southern Pacific is reported to be now in Texas in company with the President of the New Orleans Houston & San Antonio Railway Co., ex¬ amining the Gulf ports. It is alleged that New Orleans is by far the best port on the U. S. Gulf coast. In that event it must become the ultimate terminal of the Southern overland route, as it is the manifest function of the Southern Pacific to bring out large quantities of cheap ores and base metal, gold, silver, copper and lead eastward to some one or more of the cotton ports, for cheap freight to Europe in cotton ships as “bottom cargo,” besides’an interchange of manufactured articles bound in the other direction. The supply of the 500 miles link between El Paso and a noint west of San Antonio will probably not long be delayed. This will make a through To ite of 2,425 miles from New Orleans to San Francisco, or about the same distance as from Chicago to the western city, but by a much easier and favored route. There are also rumors that Mexico is about to inaugurate a trunk line from its capital to El Paso, where it will intersect the Southern & Atchison roads, and another trunk line from Mexico to the Rio Grande, at Laredo, or Eagle Pass, near the San Antonio extension. As these roads are to be built upon the bonds of a government which, thus far, has had all it could do to raise taxes to pay its running expenses, and the army, whose every source of revenue is already pledged to its creditors, and which cannot maintain order and peace among its own people, it may be rash to count upon any connection with Mexico for some time yet; but it is equally certain that more or less of the commerce of Mexico would flow tnrougli these more railroad gateways if the railroads were built, and may, to some extent, when the United States railroads touch the border at both these points, as they will within a few months.

COMMERCIAL EPITOME. Friday Night, Oct 29, 1880. The political canvass has assumed an intensely partisan character, developing much personal feeling, to the neglect of principles and fair discussion. Both parties, through public meetings and otherwise, have made direct appeals to the mercantile community, and the effect has been to divert much attention from business, the export trade only having been fully maintained. The weather has been seasonable, and rains have further relieved the drought from which large sections have suffered, enabling manufactories which are dependent upon mill streams to partially resume operations. Provisions have latterly shown more strength on receipt of somewhat better advices from the West and due to the reserve with which spot and October contracts have been offered.

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. 40.000 172.000 29,000 421.193 60.173 RECEIPTS FROM PLANTATIONS.
