The stock is reported at $21,403,293 common, and $12,646,833 preferred, the same as on December 31, 1885, but this is the amount issued, not the amount outstanding. It included in December $2,843,633 common and $1,386,900 preferred held by the company Uaelf, and probably the amount so held is the same now. At any rate, the total of stock and bonds owned is given at $4,970,386, while the same item on December 31, 1885, we figure from the company's report to have been $4,952,058, showing no reduction but a small increase' The state of the floating debt may be judged from the fact that there is an excess of cash and cash assets over the sum of current liabilities in the amount of OnDecember31 the excess had been a little $1,151,040.

The present balances available exhibit a deficiency compared with a year ago of £6,780,000. Certainly last year at this time the Bank rate was only 3 per cent, but the position then was rightly described as anomalous, and the rate almost immediately began to move upwards. Now there is less money to manipulate, while a better tra-le demand exists, and a very decided extension of the Stock Exchange inquiry has also taken place. The margin for absorption has thus been mat-jrially reduced, and the way for a permanent hardening of money made clearer. The loss in the reserve is £91,334, made up of a decrease of £179,330 in note circulation, deducted from a falling off of £270,664 in bullion; and the proportion to liabilities stands at 37' 48 per cent, against 83-29 per cent-last week. The present amount of 103-87 the reserve is £10,631,000, and the stock of bullion £30,334,000, and neither will bear trenching upon to any extent.

In the wheat trade there has still been a quiet tone, but, at the same time some slight increase of steadiness. Holders appear to have come to the end of their limit of concession to buyers, and the small business transacted has therefore been at about the prices current last week. The change in tlw weather has indicated the near approach of winter, and the consequent early closing of navigation in America and on Ibe Continent. But this interruption of one mode of transit has not nearly the effect now it had a few years ago. The development of the railway system is proceeding almost daily, and there cannot therefore be any interruption to the supplying of the markets rufBcient to exercise more than a slight influence upon quotations. However, every item, no matte'' how small, assists in deflning the coarse of the market, and this is favorable to holders. In the statistical position no appreciable change has occurred. Imports for the past week were not op to the average of last year, nor were the deliver. lea of bome grown proJuoe so heavy but for allthat the suppUca offering were quite sufficient for the market to dea' witk, as there is still an entire absence of any speculative demand. Greater firmness in prices seems to be anticipated bat with an increase of about 1,000,000 qrs. in the American tMbtm supply over last year, and larger quantities on pasnge, any recovery must be gradual.

Money has been eaaier, and the influx of gold always caoies a irood feeling, although it may arise more from the shipment of Mcurities than from the ezpoits of domestic produce. There are many predictions that American products are rule higher during the coming winter, and if a naaonable adTance could be established in cotton, breadstuffg sad prorisions, it would certainly contribute much to foster prosperity and to stimulate trade during the next tweWe months.

This would be a moat extraordinary way to apply a sinking Ohio fund, and it would seem to be of questionable legality.

The general tone naa been irregular and speculation unsettled, and not particularly active at any time; though, considering the near approach of a general election and the interest manifested in the Bartholdi statue ceremonies, a fair amount of business has been done. Taking the market as a whole, the changes for the week are slight and unimportant, the leading and higher-priced stocks having been quite dull. Interest has centred on a few specialties, and in these the speculation has been moderately active, and the There has prices of some of them have been pushed upward. >M«rllltie news of s general character, and the railroad eamwe have heretofore mentioned, cannot now be expected tBgl^ to <BOW the same relative increase over 18S5 as they have in previous months.

The further fact was developed that the Pur- chasing Committee have obtained an order from the United States Court at St. Louis, sanctioning such purchase of said obligations, and authorizing the receivers to pay such coupons as might be designated by the Purchasing Committee out of the earnings of the road. The avowed purpose of the Purchasing Committee is to use these two orders to the disadvantage of the bondholders who do not assent to the funding scheme. It is believed that these orders can both be set aside." Trust Company, trustees of two of The Farmers" Loan theWabasli first mortgages, are taking steps at the instance of the Lawrence Committee to have the order of the St. Louis Court of Septemtier 21 set aside. This order allowed the Purchasing Cjmmittee to keep the receivers' obligations alive instead of paying them off as decided by the decree of sale, and allowed the Purchasing Committee to designate which coupons of prior mortgages should be paid by the — present receivers. & October THE CHRONICLK 30, 1880.] COTTON.

There was considerable inquiry for heavy cassimeres, overcoatings, &c., by the wholesale clothing trade, but their vtewa as to prices were in most cases too low to be entertained by holders, and comparatively few transactions were therefore reported in this connection. Cloakings and Jereey cloths were in Ufht and irregular demand, but deeirable makes are steadily held. Kentucky jeans and satinets ruled quiet and steady at unchanged prices. Wool and worsted dress fabrics (for women's wear) were quiet in demand, but agents continued to make fair deliveries in execution of back orders, and prices remain lirm all along the line. Flannels and blankets were lightly dealt in by package buyers, and the jobbing trade in these goods was unfavorably influenced by the mildness of tbe weather, but prices are firmly maintained. Carpets ruled quiet, and there was only a moderate business in wool hosiery, knit underwear and fancy knit woolens. FoREioN Drt Goods continued quiet in first hands, and the jobbing trade was of strictly moderate proportions, but stocks are not rednndant as a rule despite the largely increased imports this season, and such fabrics as govern the market are generally steady in price. The auction rooms have presented few offerings of speciil importance, and tbe prioe* obtained at pabUo sale were mostly in buyers' favor. iBBportatlona of Drr Oootfs. of dry goods at this port /or the week ijodlng Oct. 38, 1886, and since Jan. 1, and the same facts for the coneapondiuc periods are as follows: Tbe importations 3J.23l.>«(t 6.7«t4.:>65 4.5>S,5l7 Tou.'.iils l,>>4<.6«2 TSfcOel. 37, '83» 30,610.362 10,531.544 5,366.441 3,374,614 l,)U4.8i54 aaflt.
