light that day, particularly in the afternoon, but a little

IMPROVEMENT IN OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

August statement of our foreign trade, issued this
week by the Bureau of Statistics, makes a better exhibit
than did the returns for the months immediately preced
ing. There is a favorable balance, though only in small
amount, whereas in July and August the balance was heavily
against us. The excess of merchandise exports over
imports for the month amounts to a trifle less than three
millions; in July the imports exceeded the exports in the
sum of nearly four millions, and in June in the sum of
almost 10^ millions.
In August a year ago the balance
was
also against us—about three millions—so that the
present return while not in itself strikingly favorable, is
satisfactory as showing some improvement on other recent
periods. The following table exhibits the merchandise
imports and exports at each leading port—in August and
the eight months ended with August, this year and last.

the quantity sent out.
Take lard, for illustration. In
August, 18S2, the exports of that commodity were less
than 9 million pounds ; in August this year they were
over
32£ million. Of course, owing to the lower prices
prevailing this year, the gain in values is not so heavy
proportionately, but still it will be noticed that the total
of the provisions exports in August, 18S3, is almost twice
that of August, 1S82.
As showing how much lower
prices are on some items, it should be observed that the
value of both pork and cheese is less this year than last,

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—One of the
distinctive features of the general financial situation for the
last year has been the difficulty of attracting capital to invest¬
ments that have heretofore been considered satisfactory. This
is only another way of saying that very few of the kinds of
investments which have always absorbed the available capital
of the market are deemed satisfactory now.
Railroad bonds,
railroad stocks, loans on mercantile paper, shares in manufac¬

turing enterprises—all are regarded with a degree of distrust
which prevents the usual employment of capital in these
lines, because there are still doubts in the public mind as to
whether the railroad system has not been expanded beyond
the growth of population and traffic, and as to whether the
decline in prices of commodities in the last year and a half
has not caused losses which may yet develop in additional
important failures in quarters where no financial weakness is
apparent now.
In short, there has been for nearly a year, and there is 3ret, a
general unsettlement of confidence. “A slow panic” has been,
and is yet, in progress. One of its most marked phenomena in
the last week has been the continued decline in prices of
railway stocks and to some extent also in railroad
bonds.
Even in
cases
where
the actual
decline
in
the figures of the prices of these has not been very marked,
it is known that the securities have been sustained by
the promoters of the enterprises they represent.
This does

necessarily argue that the stocks and bonds are “too
high.” On the contrary, it is generally acknowledged that
many dividend-paying stocks and many good railroad bonds
are selling below their real value.
One of the features of the present situation is the continued
low rates of interest for money at a time in the year when
funds are usually scarce and high rates are expected and
freely paid, and at which money is loaned with confidence.
But the rate of interest is not the paramount question with the
lender now.
The prime question is security.

Loans on such collaterals as will sell in the market are now
the principal method of employment of capital.
As none but
those who have least need for money have the collaterals, this

“The extension of this branch southward from Livingston
reached the Cumberland River in December, 1882, and the Ten¬

Livingston, in April, 18S3. It was opened for local traffic to
Williamsburg, forty-nine miles south of Livingston, in
December, and through trains between Louisville and Knoxville

trouble in keeping the Ohio & Mississippi in the same friendly

stock, which is largely held in London, and 200,000 on the com¬

In advance of the election it would seem to be
impossible to tell liow the majority of this large amount would
be voted, and even with the three directors lost to the B & O ,
it is more than probable that the ten holding over would still
be with the present order of things. The director said a con¬

29, the questions growing out of the appointment of a receiver
for the Toledo Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad were argued

Judges Baxter and Dtummond, of the United States Cir¬
the hearing an order was issued discharg¬
ing the receiver and remanding the property to the company.
The receiver will hold the property until October 20, in order
that the company may prepare to take possession.
The Boston Herald says of this : “A perusal of Judge Bax¬
ter’s decision in the hearing at Toledo on Saturday explains the
dispatch sent to the press. The judge, as appears, discovered
that the movers f<r a receivership bad made a bad job of it,
failing to make out a case warranting the interference of the
court in the management of the property, although such a case
could have been made out if they had used the materiil at
hand.
He therefore gave notice that he should dismiss the
bill October 20 not Oc ober 12, as previously published) and
remand the road to the c-mpany. He further intimated that
the mortgages would have to be foreclosed separately, and that
the Cincinnati Nor; hern division had made out a cas- for fore¬
H«- would pr bably appoint a receiver for the latter,
closure.
but would wait, umil the 2)th, that the other divisions might
have time to prepare a proper bill, and that one receiver mLhr
be apiHinred for all the divisions. The earnings of the road
the third week of September were about $32,000, making nearly
$97,000 since September 11.”
—The first mortgage bondholders of the Toledo Del pirns &
Burlington the original main line of the Toledo Cincinnati &
St. Louis Railroad) met Tuesday to confer over the present
embarrassments of the compauy, aud to take some action toward
protecting their interests in the property. They appointed a
committee to rvpoit at a future meeting some plan for the
guidance of the main line bondholders.
Washington Cincinnati & St. Louis.-—This road, running
from Washington City via Harrisonburg and Bridgewater to
Monterey, Highland County, Va., was sold at public auction
September 25. with all lights and franchises, for $40,000. It
was purchased for a Virginia syndicate.
Western Union Telegraph.—An Albany, October 2, the
Court oL Appeals handed down decisions in thesuitsof Wil iam

pany ia the consolidation with ihe other telegraph companies

[Vol. XXXV-II.

condemned by the General Term of the Supreme Court as a violation of
that section. Our atteution has been called to no other law forbidding
or

condemning

a

stock iividend, and in their allegations against it the

counsel lor the plaintiff rely mainly upon that section. After reading
the numerous opinions that have been submitted to us and giving careful
attention to all that has been said upon the‘subject, we are unable to

perceive that that section has any bearing whatever upon the question
we are to determine.
The section was taken from the act chapter 325^
of the laws of 1825, which was entitled ‘an act to prevent fraudulent
bankruptcies of incorporated companies, to facilitate proceedings against
them, and for other purposes.’ It was not part, of the original revision,
but was incorporated into the Revised Statutes by chapter 20 of the laws
of 1828. A careful reading of the sectiou shows that it has reference
only to property capital of a corporation and not to its share capital,
'ihe first clause prohibits dividends of property except from surplusprofits
It is further provided that the directors of any corporation
shall not divide, withdraw, or in any way pay to the stockholders, or
any of them, any part of the capital stock of such compauy, or to reduce
the cap.tal stock without ihe consent of the Legislature. These provi¬
sions were intended to prevent the division, distribution, withdrawal
and reduction of the property of a corporation below the sum limited
in its charter or articles of association for its capital, but hot to prevent
its increase above that sum. The purpose was to prevent the depletion
of the propei ty of the corporation and thereby endangering its s lvencyAll the other provisions of the section show very clearly that such was
the intention. Careful provision was made that the whole amount of
capital stock should be paid in, and hence there was a prohibition against
receiving a note or other evidence of debt in paymeut of any instalment
actually called in and required to be paid; and in CU'C the directors
violated any of the provisions of the section they were made individually
liable to the corporation and to its creditors, in the event of its dissolu¬
tion. to the full amount of the capital stock of the company so divided,
withdrawn or reduced.”
The very section we are

*

*

*

considering contemplates that there may
be a surplus, and that such surplus may be divided. The surplus may
be i i cash, and then it may be divided in cash.
It may lie in property,
and if the property is so situated that a division thereof among the
stockholders is practicable, a dividend in property may be declared,
aud that may be distributed among the .stockholders. AJ1 such divi¬
dends diminish and deplete the property of the corporation, aud that
section was designed to prevent dividends of property which tended to
deplete the asseis of the company below the sum limited in its charter
as the amount of its capital stock.
Hut slock dividends never diminish
or interfere with the property
of a corporation, and hence are not
within the purview of that section. After a stock divioend a corpora¬
tion lias just as much property as it had before.. It is just as solvent
and just as capable of meeting all demands upon it.
After such a
dividend the aggicgate of the stockho.der.s own no more interest, in the
corporation than before. Tne whole number of shares before the stock
dividend represented the whole property of the corporation, aud after
”

the dividend they represent that and no more.
“A stock dividend does not distribute property,

but simply dilutes

the shares as they existed before, and lrcnce that section in no way pre¬
vented or related to a stock dividend.
Such a dividend could be
declared by a corporation without violating its letter, its spirit, or its
It is therefore clear that the directors of the Western Union
purpose.

Telegraph Company did not violate that section by thb stock dividend
which they declared, and if that dividend was illegal it, must be because
it was comlenmed by some other statute or by some other general prin¬
ciple of law or by public policy. Our attention lias been called to no
statute, aud we know of none in this State, which prohibits a corpora¬
tion from making a stock dividend. The Legislatures iu some of the
States have, we believe, passed laws prohibiting such dividends, but in
this State no such law has been enacted.”
* * *
ers

It may be that a distribution of stock gratuitously to the stockhold¬
of a company, based upou no values—a mere inflation or, to use a

phrase much in vogue* a • watering’ of stock—would be condemned by
the law; but when stock has been lawfully created, and is held by a
corporation, and which it has a right to issue for value, then a stock
dividend may be made, provided that the stock always represents prop¬
erty. It is conceded that the directors of the Western Union Telegraph
Compauy could have issued this stock for money to be paid into its

It could have issued it for property to be received by it for
of its legitimate business. Hut here it is found that over
and above it’s capital it possessed property actually worth upwards of
$ 5,000,000, and we kuow of no law that is violated and no public
polic' that is invaded by issuing to the'Stockholders stock to represent
that amount of property, rather than iu any mode to divide it up and
distribute it amoug them.” i * *
‘‘All this, however, depends on the finding of the trial court that a.
surplus equal to the dividend existed. That finding is not open to
ciiticisiu heie. It was not disturbed at the General Term, and there¬
fore concludes us.
When a corporation 1ms a surplus, whether a divi¬
dend shall be made, and, if made, how much it shall be. and when and
wlnoe it sh .11 be payable, lest, iu the fair aud honest discretion of the
directors, iimontr< liable by thtfeourts.
“There is no statute which requires dividends in telegraph companies,
or in companies g m*ral iy, to be made in cash.
Whether they shall be
made in cash or property must also rest in tlie discretion of the direct¬
ors.
There is no rule of law, or reason‘based upou public policy, which
treasury.

the purpose

ndeinns a property dividend
The direct rs could convert the
property into cash before a dividend mid divide that. S the stockhold¬
ers ran take the property divided to them and sell it. aud thus realize
the cash.
Within the domain of law, it can make no material difference
which course is pursued. If, however, a dividend be made payable in
cash, or payable generally, the corporation becomes a debtor and must
discharge such debt, as it is bound to discharge all its other debts, in
lawful currency.
It is t. ue that the stockholder cannot be compelled to
receive property divided to him ; so ho cannot be compelled to take a
cash dividend
In ease of his reins il to take a e.ish dividend the corpo¬
ration may retain it for him until he shall demand it.
In case he shall
refuse to take iv pi opcity dividend, the corporal ion may retain it and
hold it m trust for him, or possibly sell it for his benefit.
If such a case '
shall ever arise the courts will find some way to deal with it.
We are, therefore,.of opinion that tlie order of the General Term
should be reversed, and the judgment of tile Special Term affirmed with

A similar order should be entered in Hatch vs. The Western Union

speculation for the rise in cotton for future delivery
received a strong impulse early in the week from the publica¬
tion of unfavorable reports on the condition and prospects of
the crop, from which minimum estimates of the probable
yield were compiled. The effect was to cause an advance
from the closing figures of Friday to the highest figures of
Monday, of 18 to 24 points. Liverpool was even more buoyant
than New York, and the Southern markets made important
advances. But the current weather reports from the South
were fairly favorable ; there was a
pretty free movement of
the crop, attended with an accumulation of stocks, and
nearly
one half of the advance of Monday was lost at the close ;
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were variable and unset¬
tled, and the close last evening exhibited but little change
from the close of Monday.
This morning, with Liverpool
quiet, our market opened quiet but srong, amt in the later
hours prices advanced 4(hG points, showing a decided
improve¬
ment on the closing figures of last
Friday. Cotton on the
spot met with a general demand, and yet was not active. On
Thursday quotations were revised on the basis of new cotton.
Middling aud below reduced lyC.; good middling reduced 14c.:
grades above good middling reduced *^c.; old cotton held
3-16@}^c. above new cotton. To-day there was a fair business
for home consumption at steady prices, middling

is

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.

So far as the Southern ports are concerned, these
exports reported by telegraph, aud published in

37,464 bales.

&c.—The market does not show any
material change since our last report. Bagging has been taken
quite freely in small lots, and prices are steadily maintained.
For the parcels that are being taken sellers are quoting 9c. for
l/£ lbs., 10c. for 1% lbs., 10%c. for 2 lbs. and 11c. for standard
grades. Butts are firmly held, and rather more inquiry is re¬
ported. There have been sales of some 5,000 bales at 2@2%c.,
as to grade, and at the
close the quotations are 2 l-l*3@2J^e*
for paper grades and 2%@>2%c. for bagging qualities, though
buyers claim to do a shade better. The stock on hand is about
77,000 bales, and shipments on the way 66,700 bales, making a
visible supply of 143,000 bales. The deliveries for September
aggregated 34,932 bales.
Comparative Port Receipts and Daily Crop Movement.—
A comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate
as the weeks in different years do not end on the same day of
the month. We have consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader may
constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the years named.
The movement each month
since September 1, 1882, has been as follows.

BREADSTUFF S.
Friday, P. M.. Oct. c, 1883.

Flour lias been very

dall of late, and, in sympathy with a
declining market for wlie&t, more or less depressed. The
European markets are not only fully supplied at present, it is
stated, "but those in the West Indies and South America are
equally well stocked, and the result is a small foreign trade.
The home demand is also quite mod^rare.
To-day the market
was dull and weak.
There is a large supply of winter wheat
flour here, and while that of spring wheat brands is not so
large, it is more than ample for the present requirements.
Wheat has been fairly active on speculation, but has sold but
moderately for export, and, though firmer earlier in the week,
the market has latterly been somewhat depressed. A pretty
firm foreign market, as well as some decrease in the receipts at
Chicago, has prevented any marked decline, though both here
and at the West the tone is feverish and unsettled.

The slow¬

traffic is one of the most noticeable draw¬
backs, the great marts in the west of Europe being, it is stated,
well supplied. Another unfavorable feature is the compara¬
tively low grade of a large proportion of the arrivals on the
Atlantic seaboard, the bulk of the receipts of red falling below
No. 2, a fact w'hich makes this grade relatively firmer than
others. To-day the market was quiet for export, and prices
fell
to %c.f but at the decline there was a pretty brisk
specnlation. There was an especially quiet market for white
and spring wheat. No. 2 Chicago was quoted at $1 Co and
No. 1 Duluth at as high as £1 20, but these were merely
nominal prices in the absence of business. As high as $1 IS
has been obtained for State white of late, but in general not
over $1 10 can be quoted for white wheat.
No. 2 red sold on
the8pot to-day at i?l 13'2 in elevator, and for future delivery
at$l 11@$1 lUs for October, ?1 T2J£@$l 13's for November,

Barley has been dull, but malt has sold moderately at 95c.@

Rye has been moderately active^t some decline. Oats have

To-day the market was steady on the spot, with a
but dull and slightly lower for future
delivery. Chicago operators have latterly been disposed to
sell the future months rather more freely, and here during the
week prices have declined about two cents, the fall being quite
gradual, however, as the shorts have covered as quotations
dropped. No. 2 mixed sold on the spot to-day at 60e. afloat,
and No 3 at 55/£c. There is very little Southern corn here,
and it is therefore to a great extent nominal in value.

continued to receive a
good many orders by mail and telegraph, but buyers on the
spot bought sparingly as a rule. The jobbing trade was less
active, because retailers from remote sections of the country
have completed their early purchases and returned home to
attend to their distribution. A very fair business was however
done with local and near-by retailers, who are taking hold with
apparent confidence in the future. The event of the week was
an auction sale of about 5,090 packages horse
blankets, which
were entirely closed out at good average prices.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—The exports of cotton goods were
1,671 packages, including 475 to Great Britain, 327 to Argentine
Republic, 313 to Chili, 210 to Venezuela, 77 to Central America,
&c. There was a steady hand-to-mouth demand for brown
and bleached goods, wide sheetings, cotton flannels, &c., and
colored cottons, as denims, ticks, cheviots, &c., were more
sought for than of late, though in small lots. Some liberal
orders for white goods were placed for future delivery, and
some fair transactions in jeans, nainsooks, &c., were reported.
Prices of plain and colored cottons remain steady and
unchanged. Print cloths were in moderate demand at last
