A pretty considerable business has been passing in American railways this week. There is evidently growing favor
being shown by speculators here for this class of security, and
belief in a higher level of prices seems general. Every credence is given to the reports of improving trade received from
New York, and it is expected that in a very short time the
advance in freights, and the larger quantities of goods which
presumed will be carried, will affect traffic receipts. An
advance of from 1 to 4 per cent is general this week.

State and Kailroad Bonds. State bonds continue to bo
very actively dealt in, the transactions covering a large number
of issues, as follows
$439,000 North Carolina special tax
bonds at 74-8i ; |80,000 do. Cs, Chatham Railroad issue, at
6-6i ; $7,000 do. consol. 43 at OOJ-Ol

Railroad bonds have not been quite as active the past week
as in previous weeks, though the business has still been large,
and many classes have made important advances. The speculation in Erie 3ds has been heavy, as usual, and strong bull
points have been circulated, relating mainly to the negotiation
of the new loan on the dock jiroperty, and the possible
payment of some of the overdue coupons. In the table below
will be found the closing prices of a few leading bonds, with
the closing prices of last Friday, and the range since the first

ANNUAL REPORTS.
Boston

30, 1885.)
the report to the Massachusetts State Railroad Commissioners, the figures are now obtained for this important
trunk line for the year ending Sept. 30, 1885. The total income for the year decreased $510,731 from that of 1884, but
the expenses have been reduced $493,200, so that the net
decrease is only $18,530. The number of passengers carried
during the year shows an increase of nearly 100,000, and there
were over 100,000 more tons of freight carried, but in both
cases the cash receipts were less than last year. The number of stockholders in the company is 6,693 against 6,590

R. G.
Western are to be treated much as the D. & R. G. consolidated bonds are, and to receive the new 4 per cent consols at
par and with each $1,000 bond a bonus of $500 in the new 5 per
cent preferred stock to compensate for overdue coupons and the
reduction of interest to 4 per cent. The D.
R. G. Western
would til us be merged in the new D.
R. G., taking its stock
Rio Grande
and bonds as here stated. And tlie Denver
parties urge that it is for the interests of the D.
R. G,
Western to accept the terms offered, since the saving in
expenses, by no longer keeping up the organization of two
companies, would be sufficient to enable them to pay the 4
per cent interest. Without this saving tliey claim that the D.
R. G. Western could not permanently earn 4 per cent on its
bonds.
In the Chronicle of last week it was remarked in the
course of certain comments upon this company that:
" On the loth of October a notice was published that Messrs. Coppell.
Welsh. Oilman and Dick, at the request of bondholders said to hold
$i, 500,000 of the Denver & Rio Grande Western bonds, would soou
formulate and propose a plan of reorganization. t)n the next day, Oct.
17th, Gen. Palmer published a notice that a majority of the bondholders had agreed to his plan.
To foreclose the mortgage the trustees
must have the' request of 25 per cent iu amount of the bondholders,
but a singular provision in article IX of the mortgage says that a
mnjority of the b(mdholders may control the trustees' action, and may
vote to waive a default."
&
the
{For the year ending Sept.

Otherinoome
Operating expenses
Taxes
In regard to this, Gen. Palmer states that there was no
intentional sequence in the issue of his notice just after the
notice of the Coppell Committee, and as a matter of fact ho
calls attention to the circumstance that his circular was dated
on the 16th, and was mailed on that day to some of the
stock and bond holders before the otiier notice came out. He
also thinks that the provision in tlie mortgage giving a
majority of bondholders the controlling voice is not unusual,
but is contained in many railroad mort?ages.
It is an
important feature of his plan that no dividends can be paid
on the stock until the funded coupons or certificates given
therefor have been paid in full, and such payment may be
made at any time on 60 days' notice.
His circular as
President, under date of Oct. 28th, says: " The following is an
approximate statement of the Denver
Rio Grande Western
road since July Ist, up to which date statement was included
in the circular to the bondholders of August 27th :

Under these influences the lowest figures
yesterday were 30@35 points below recent highest figures.
There was some recovery in the latest dealings yesterday,
ascribed to bad picking weather and a consequent demand to
cover contracts. The exports have been more active, keeping
stocks down at Southern outports. To-day there was a further decline, in which the lowest figures of the season were
made, followed by a slight and not well sustained recovery.
The increased stocks at interior towns attracted attention.
Cotton on the spot has been dull and drooping. Even the
spinning demand has been small. Quotations were reduced
Yesterday midl-16c. on Monday and again on Wednesday.

advices have been very unfavorable, trade and values at Manchester having apparently become much demoralized, receipts
at the ports have increased and the speculators on our Cotton
Exchange lost confidence, not only ceasing to buy but selling
recent purchases.

crop acccyuats are favorable in Dhollera.
Jute Bdtts, Bacjoino, &c. There is a good demand for
bagging and the consuming trade are taking parcels quite
freely.
Some tiU8inei<8 has been done in a large way but the
bulk of the trade i.s for present wants. Prices are steadily
maintained and sellers are cjuoting 9c. for I*^ lb., 9>^c. for
1;'., lb., 10i.,c. for 2 lb. and
lie. for standard grades.
Butts
have shown rather more animation, though not much business has been done as yet, thougli some negotiations are on
foot.
About 3,000 bales have been taken since our last, part
paper grades at l,^i@l 13-l6c. and part bagging qualities at
2@2j.jc., and sellers are quoting these figures at the close.

Oats, without decided activity or buoyancy, had an advancing tendency down to the close of Wednesday. Their comparative cheapness encourages a large home trade, which,
with a steady export movement, stimulates speculation for
the rise. Yesterday the rise was checked by free selling and
sympathy with the depression in wheat and corn. To-day,
under a considerable pressure to sell, part of the recent
advance was lost, and the close was weak.

seeds of buyers, and the export business is on a reduced
scale.
Prices are generally sustained, but are without much
strength. There is little disposition anywhere to accumulate
stocks, receiving meeting the demand very readily.
The wheat market has been variable and unsettled. The
recent decline caused a revival of speculative operations for
the rise in futures, and on Wednesday morning there was a
smart advance here and at principal Western markets, but the
large visible supply and the dulness of exports caused a
quick reaction toward lower figures, which continued
throughout Thursday. There has been a good milling demand
for wheat on the spot and for early arrival, but prices are not
fully sustained. To-day there was a further sharp decline,
but a steadier feeling followed, with a fair business in spot
wheat.

Ladies' cloths, tricots and soft-wool dress fabrics were leai
owing to the mildness of the weather, but prices ruled
active,

were taken in small parcels to a fair amount, and stocks are

particular, lieing very stiffly held. Shawls were slow of sale,
but a fair trade was done in cloth skirts, and there waa a
moderate inquiry for duplicate parcels of carpets. Wool
liosiery and knit underwear continued to move steadily on
account of former transactions, and prices are fully maintained; but new business was comparatively light.

Foreign Dry Goods.— There was a

trade was dtvoid of animation. Some very fair orders for
spring goods were placed with importers for future delivery,
but nearly all fall and winter fabrics ruled quiet. The auction rooms presented repeated offerings of silks, dress goods,
velvets, velveteens, &c., with indifferent success, the sluggish
condition of the retail trade (because of unfavorable weather)
having rendered retailers more or less apathetic. The most
staple imported goods are fairly steady in price, and stocks
are not large as a rule.
Importations of Dry Gootfa.
The importations of dry goods at this port for the week

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Ftldav, F, M., October 30, 1885.
Although quietness was the prevailing characteristic of the
dry goods trade the past week, there was a fair business in
certain fabrics adapted to next season, orders for which were
placed with a degree of liberality denoting ample confidence
in the future. The most staple cotton and woolen fabrics
were only in moderate demand at first hands, and heavy winter goods were mostly quiet, because tlie weather continued
mild and unfavorable for their distribution. The equilibrium
between supply and demand has, however, been restored to
such an extent by the late curtailment of production that
prices are, for the most part, steady and unchanged. The
jobbing trade in this city' and at many distributing points in
the interior has subsided into a condition of comparative
quiet, the supplementary demand from retailers having been
delayed by the unseasonable character of the weather. The
late lull in the demand has caused little or no uneasiness in
the minds of manufacturers' agents, importers or jobbers: on
the contrary the situation is regarded with confidence, and
a moderately good re-order demand for fall and winter goods
is anticipated as soon as the retail trade becomes more active,
as it doubtless will upon the advent of cold weather.
Domestic Cotton Goods. The exports of cotton goods from
this port for the week ending October 27 were 1,899 packagesi
including 1,128 to Great Britain, 177 to U. S. of Colombia, 184
to Brazil, 91 to Mexico, 81 to Venezuela, &c. Brown cottons
were in steady demand by converters, and slight price concessions enabled agents to close out some good-sized lots of Southem three-yard sheetings; but the general demand for these
goods was unsatisf atory, and prices are barely steady. Bleached
goods and wide sheetings were in light request, but stocks are
