But the Atchison, the Louisville & Nashville, the Pennsylvania, the Erie and the Northern Pacific also all have very large gains, while there is a host of minor roads that likewise are distinguished for their very favorable returns. We have not the space for any extended remarks, so we annex without further comment the followagain to be ing table containing all roads that have yet reported their increase of over 35 per cent and the other an increase of over 43 per cent. But the Ohio & Mississippi, the Cin. Ind.

LoNOON, Saturday, Sept. 35, 1886. Progress towards returning prosperity is uninterrupted. Commercially speaking n< thing special has transpired during the week, but the tone of advices from the leading centres re" maios hopeful and the encouraging symptoms are daily coming out in bolder relief. The assumption, therefore, that the close of the year will witness a more distinct improvement in the position seems to be well grounded. Railway traffic state, ments are rather better this week than last, and it is a satisfac, tlon to know that for the first time, for a considerable periods the receipts on the Northeastern line, which principally servethe iron districts, show a slight increase. Altogether we have no reason to complain of the movement now going on in the trade of the country. The strength of foreign competition will keep in check rabid speculation as it renders the cutting down of profits compulsory, consequently there will be more probability of business operations being conducted on a sound basis. The money market seems to be in a healthy condition and quite capable of fostering the development of a sound trade, but at the same time the fact must not be lost sight of that if the inquiry for gold for America should revive in such force as to necessitate applications to the Bank of England some monetary disturbance is quite within the bounds of probability, as our bullion resources are by no means heavy and the margin of unemployed balances is being quietly reduced. On the other hand any material hardening of money here would attract supplies from the Continent. Politically affairs remain much the same aa they were. The difficulties in Eastern Europe are still unsolved and there is always the danger of the unexpected happening and thus bringing about greater troubles, but constant discussion on its merits has robbed the interminable Eastern question of no email portion of its terrors for the trading community. The agricultural interests are obtaining rather better prices fqr their wheat than they succeeded in securing a year ago, but with crops below the average it does not seem that their position has been much improved or that they will be of special use in stimulating the home trade. An influential meeting has just been held of the Virginia bondholders to protest against the continued repudiation of There was a unanimous de.-iire shown its debt by that State. to continue the agitation until a fair composition of the debt had been secured. Summed up, the resolutions passed amounted to the following That renewed efforts are necessary; that an assessmeht shall be levied on the bonds In order to procure the necessary funds; that the Riddleberger settlement is unacceptable, but that a reasonable compromise in view of the resources of Virginia woul J be considered. On the 34 principal railways of the United Kingdom the gross receipts from all sources during the first half of the current year were £31,565,508, or £441,008 less than for the cor, responding period of the previous year. Including the balances brought into the accounts,, the gross revenue was £31,972,060, or £138,234 less. The general charges were £16,459,678 being I : a decrease of £255.931. Debenture and preferred interest, &c.> absorbed £1,696,091 or £93,853 more than last last year, and the amount available for distribution amongst the ordinary shareholders was £4,231,895 or about £330,000 less than last It will be seen from the foregoing that the first half of the current year was anything but satisfactory to the railway interests regarded as a whole, but the prospect for the current half-year One is steadily brightening. week has been the excitement in Spanish securities due to the military outbreak in Madrid. It is currently reported that Stock Exchange gambling has had something to do with the emeute. The Madrid correspondent of the Times, telegraphing on the sub ject, of the financial features of the remarks : " Now, the primary causes may be stated at once— the utter despera tlon of the Eepubllcans of violence, to which may be added the usual speculations for the fall in Spanish funds. Such speculations appear to form an integral part of all these revolutionary fliiscos, if the word revolutionary be not a misnomer. To show the connection of the speculations with what has occurred, and to dispose of the ma'ter summarily, it may be said that oc Friday last large sales of the funds were drid and Barcelona by the usual gamblers In blood and effeited in stocks, and the explanation of tnese sales is now patent B tt the effdCt, as on previous occasions, has not fully answered their expect -iltons. as national values have remained relatively steady, only losing a small liart of the advance of the last few weeks." M I These remarks may seem to be rather overdrawn and improbable, but there is strong reason to believe they are sub stantially correct. This is not the first time that the so-called patriotism of Spanish conspirators has been mainly evoked by the desire to replenish empty purses. Placed beside such tactics the well-known advice to "Get money honestly if you money " seems allowable. It was asserted at the time that the Carthagena outbreak was tainted by stock gambling, and the movements _in the funds conBrmel this view. Happily neither on that occasion nor on the present did the leaders tucceed in obtaining anything commensurate with the risk run, as in each case the fluctuations were c\)mparatively slight and the resulting depression was far from heavy. It is, however, a sign of the times, and anything but a healthy one. During the The money market has been rather easier. earlier part of the week there were occasional inquiries for gold for America, but not sufficient to necessitate any recourse to the Bank. Since then the New York exchange has advanced to a point sufficiently high to check any efflux at But although money least during the immediate future. just now is quiet, a gradual hardening of rates seem i foreNext week the demand will be temporarily ani shadowed, mated by the inquiries in connection with the Stock Exchange settlement, and later on the Scotch Term payments will have to be considered, besides the disbursements for cotton, which may yet cause some large amounts of gold to be taken from Trade expansion also has to be allowed for. There apus. pears to be, therefore, every reason why money should harden, and there can be no question that the process would be rather rapid were any sudden appreciable demand to spring up, as the Bank of England holds less than 33 millions of priBut for the moment there is a difference of 1 vate deposits. per cent between the open market and official quotations, so The week'y Bank far as three months' bills are concerned. of England return does not show any special variation in the position of the leading establishment.

They were secured by seven different mortgages, none of which covered This made all of the lines, and «ere due at different times. themi an undesirable bond for investors to hold. In addition to these nine millions there were liabilities of branch lines, for which this company was virtually an indorser, outstanding for about $300,000. new mortgage covering all the lines and property of the company was prepared, securing ten million dollars of bonds at four per cent, due in fifty years, interest and principle payable in gold. As this is a long bond, payaUe in gold, and of unquestioned security, it is a desirable investment for estates ana trusts. Provision was made that one million could be sold and the proceeds used by the company for new equipment, payment of the $300,000 heretofore referred to, and lor payment of the old bonds as the directors might detftmine, and that the remaining nine millions thould only be sold or exchangtd upon the payment and surrender of an equal amount of the old bonds. One million of tiitse were sold in June last at par, to be delivered in August, and the operation of exchanging the old bonds for the new fours is now being carried on. "The outstanding bonds, as previously stated, are due at different times. It is believed, however, that they can all be exchanged for the new bonds at a fair premium. When this is accomplished, the interest charge s of the company will be but $400,000 per year, a saving of $224,000, or 3 per cent on the present stock. The sale of the first million has furnished means wherewith to pay a large amount of premiums, but if the exchange is pressed at once a further sum will be required, for providing which the directors will at fome future time lay before you a plan. The directors congratulate you upon the improvement in your financial condition during the last year, and upon the face that your credit is so hinh as to enable you to sell a four per cent bond; this satisfactory position being attained, as they believe, from the factthat the company in the past three years baa devoted the net earnings to tlie enlargement and improvement of the property instead of dividing them, thus creating a basis for credit and to the location of its lines, which insure it a fair business even in dull times. "A contract has just been concluded with the Illinois Central Bailroad for an entrance into Chicago and tern)innls there for lUO years. By ihis contract the company obtairis the rij^ht to manage its own affairs in Chicago, naming its own rate-s and conducting its own business, and paying therefor a percentage jof the gross income of the business to and from Chicago over A ; 1883-84. 1882-83. Operatmnx— Pa-'seiiRers carried.. Cincinnati Indianapolis St. Lonis & Cliicago Railway (For the year ending June 30, 1886.) In Ilia annual report, Mr. M. E IngaUs, the President of this company, ftates that the net earnings for the late fiscal year were $986,872. After paying fixed charges, the balance for Btockholders was $352,540, or a trifle over five per cent. Dividends were resumed in December, 1885, at the rate of one per cent quarterly, so that three per cent was paid during the fiscal year, leaving a balance to profit and loss of $142,540. The report says: "This result is very satisfactory when the general condition of business and of railroad earnings during the said period is considered. For the first five months of the year extreme low rates on sea-board business prevailed. During the entire year competition was sharp and severe, owing to light traific on account of short crops. Our chief loss was in the failure of the wheat crop along our lines. This not only reduced "our freight earnings, but was seriously felt in the decrease of passenger travel and the shipments of miscellaneous merchandise, as people depend largely on the wheat crop for their surplus money with which to travel or buy goods. Fortunately we had a good corn crop. By a conservative course we have been able to hold, and in some classes of, traflBc IncrfaSe our rates over previous years. The policy of improving and enlarging the plant has been continued. Sixtyseven pound steel rail has been laid in the main track, and the 66 pound steel taken up and used for side tracks and on the branches. Iron bridges have been built to take the place of wooden ones; heavy masonry where the old was giving way or was too light; ballast has been distributed in needed places; new equipment has been bought to replace old and worn out." * * * "The directors, taking advantage of the present low price of iron and labor, have closed contracts for the renewal of the remaining wooden bridges on the main line with iron » » * duiing the coming year." " During the year, the directors thought it a good time to commence refunding the debt of the company in a long- time bond bearing a low rate of interest. Upon the lines owned and controlled by the company there were of every kind and - the contract being especially favorable from the fact business is dull the payments will be light, and if good company can afford to meet them, and, further, the Illinois Central Railroad has very large and very convenient grounds in Chicago, and within a few months will have a double track the entire distance to Kankakee, and is already using six tracks for quite a distance out of Chicago, thus giving every facility for the conduct of your business.

DoMBsnc Woolen Goods.— Business in men's- wear woolens has been of fair proportions, and the tose of the market continuee very firm. There was a moderately good demand for light weight cassimeres, worsted suitings, Sec, by the clothing trade, and heavy woolens were distributed in relatively snnll parcels to a fair aggregate amount. Indigo blue suiting flannels were in steady request at firm prices. Cloakings and Jersey cloths were in irregular demand, but desirable makes are firmly held, and stocks are well in hand, Kentucky j^ns were in moderate request and Arm, and there was a fair inquiry for satinets, in which both heavy and light weights participated. Wool dress 'fabrics were in moderate demand, and there was a steady movement iu leading make* onacoount of back orders. For flannels, blankets, shawls and skirts the demand at first hands was steady but moderate, and carpets were a trifle more active in some quarters. Foreign Dhy Goods. Importers have experienced a steady call for small re-anaortments of foreign goods, and a moderate bnsi nesa wa* done in jobbing circles. No special activity has, howcTcr, been witnessed in any particular clasaof gimds, and the general demand waa chiefly of a han'1-to-mouth character. Prices remain steady in this market, and all woolen fabrics are very firm with an upward tendency at the sources of supply in Europe. — I^portatlona of Dry aoo«a.

The demand at first hands was somewhat irregular, but a moderately good busioess in staple cotton goods was stimulated by the advanc. ing tendency of prices, and further liberal orders for certain deecti ptions of spring good* were placed with manufacturers' agents for later delivery. The tone of the general market continues Tery Arm, owing to the exceptionally small stocks of manufsdured goods on hand and all such price changes as during the week were in an upward direction.
