THE FINANCIAL
SITUATION.
There seems to be very little change to note this week.
The stock market has passed through about the same experi
ence as last reported, the see saw motion being kept up with
unfailing regularity, first by sales to depress prices and
then in turn by purchases to cover sales. These successive
blows have, however, as a n e t' result effected a gradual
yielding in values, so that from week to Week prices have
■declined,^ until now it is reported that outsiders and
investors, believing the bottom is reached, are' beginning
to purchase more freely. Still there appears to be no more
positive evidence of this than existed on the twenty other
•occasions during the summer, when a similar condition
has been noted, although it is true that during the last
two days the tone of the market has improved.
A fact with quite a general moral, and which has been
used to depress prices, is the promised default to-day of
the Ohio Central Railroad on its River Division first mort
gage bonds. The reason assigned for this step is the
depression in the coal and iron trades; but to those con
versant with the road’s affairs it would seem as if the
overburdened condition in which the property had been
placed had quite as much to do with the default as the
estate of trade. The active existence of the company may
in t e r e s t s
the
u n it e d
states
NO. 949.
r be said to date from the 1st of January, 1880. The pros
pectus issued at that time presented things in a very pleas
ant way. The road was to become a prominent carrier o f
bituminous coal in Ohio, and particular stress was laid on
the fact that theOolumbus & Hocking Valley and Colum*
bus & Toledo roads, having 230 miles, had “ together paid
7 per cent on 5£ millions bonds and 8 per cent on 3 mil
lions stock” in the year immediately preceding. Of course,
the new enterprise, starting in such auspicious times as
then prevailed, must outdo the old rival in some way, in
order to be the better prepared to share with it the busi
ness; so instead of 5^ millions bonds, as on the Hocking
Valley roads, the Ohio Central was given 6 millions, (3
millions first mortgage bonds and 3 millions income,) and
instead of 3 millions stock it was given 4 millions. This
worked so well, apparently, that it was concluded to try
operations on a larger scale.
The road having been built
for the coal business, the coal lands furnishing that busi
ness had to be secured, and the Ohio Central Coal Company, owned and controlled in the same interest as the
Railroad, offered a convenient means of obtaining them.
Accordingly, the two companies were merged into one in
January, 1881, and the capital of the Ohio Central
Railroad increased from 4 to 12 millions. Previously the
railroad had also provided itself with a terminal
mortgage for $600,000, in keeping with the spirit
of the times.
But as yet the line ran merely from
Toledo to Hadley Junction and Columbus;— it must
go on to the Ohio River and into W est Virginia.
The Mineral Division, having $300,000 1st mortgage
bonds and $300,000 incomes, supplied the initiative in
this direction, but soon gave place to the more ambitious
“ R iver” Division of 150 miles, from Corning, Ohio, to
Charleston, W . Va., lately completed, with its $7,000,000
1st mortgage, $4,000,000 incomes, and 10 millions stock.
It is cn the mortgage bonds of this division that default
is now to be made. Three millions of these bonds are
meant to retire $2,550,000 Ohio Central Coal Company
bonds and also the $600,000 Mineral Division bonds, but
the total amount is as stated, and includes the bridge
across the Ohio. That modern contrivance, however—
the car trust—-has also found lodgment in the bosom
of the concern, for we see that there are car trust
certificates No. 1 to amount of $360,000, and car trust
certificates No. 2 to amount of $ i, 750,500, together
$2,110,500, both bearing interest at the moderate rate o f
8 per cent per annum.. Thus there is now 22 millions of
stock, 10 millions of 1st mortgage bonds, $600,000 te r
minal bonds, $2,100,000 car trusts, and 7 millions of

THE CHRONICLE.
a particular and peculiar kind of financiering, which,
though it has been more common l than we could wish, is
fortunately not by any means universally prevalent in our
railroad system to-day.
But aside from stocks and "Wall Street ways and
'management, there seems' nothing that really ought to
discourage one in the general outlook. On the contrary,
we are inclined rather to take an increasingly favorable
view of the agricultural and commercial situation. To be
sure the reports coming from the cotton districts are j ust
now very unpromising, :but it must be remembered that
this is always the case about the first of September.
Besides, even if we should lose half a million bales from
our .7 millions this year, of course it would be a loss, but it
would still leave enough for the world’s consumption with
out entrenching at all on old stocks, and probaDly prices
would be a little less flimsy, so that the loss in quantity
exported would be made good to the country in dollars
received. A significant fact in this connection is that the
authority reporting the very great decline in cotton produc
tion in the Southwest is careful to say “ that the grain crops
— large and small— have been successful in the full sense
of the word, and the coming fall may witness a season
of general prosperity throughout the State.” I f the
prophecies of great loss to cotton in that section prove
true, it will be a fact worth remembering, since it is the
'first instance we can recall where a drought was long
enough to kill cotton and didn’t hurt corn !
A s to the W est and Northwest, the agricultural pros
pects continue almost everywhere very favorable. The
wheat production will be larger than the early estimates,
oats, potatoes, &c., are splendid, and the corn crop, with
two weeks more without frost, promises to be immense.
This latter fact means cheap nearly everything to eat.
Besides, the commercial situation shows improvement;
| buyers from the W est and South are multiplying, goods
are selling rapidly, and although the margin for profit is
small, it will require but little increase in demand to
stiffen prices. If it does not come in that way, however,
prudence will dictate to manufacturers to curtail produc
tion until they have to force less of their goods into
consumption through the auction rooms. It is undoubtedly
a fact that cotton and woolen spindles have increased very
rapidly of late years, taking North and South together.
Probably 860,000 cotton spindles have been added the
past twelve months, besides the new spindles which have
replaced existing ones and increased the capacity of the old.
It is not wonderful, therefore, in a time of special depres
sion, that the manufacture of cotton goods should prove
to be in excess of the people’s wants. If it is really so,
though, *the quicker it is acknowledged and remedied
the better.
W e are surprised to see at every new fact of over-pro
duction which comes to light, many try to draw a simi
larity in the condition now with that of 1873. W e repeatthat there is no point of likeness between them. There
is, however, great resemblance to the situation in 1878,
when the whole country and all enterprise was simply
waiting for specie payments. W e had then passed our
speculative period, and so we have now. Tchday, there is
not a spark of speculation observable anywhere, either
here or in Europe. • Prices are not even regulated by
.values, but by what the seller can get. Cotton, wheat,
pork, iron, securities, are said to be low, but no one feels
confident that they will not be lower to-morrow. This is
not because capital is not abundant, for, as in 1878, wealth
is accumulating, never faster than now, since we are not
spending but rapidly producing. It is only that capital
is timid, seeks savings banks, trust companies, temporary
[Y ol. x x x v -ii .
loans, undoubted securities, shunning Wall Street and its
shadows. If we look at Great Britain we find a" similar
state of things existing. Interest there is ruling at 4 per
cent, and has been ever since last spring. W e cannot re
member the summer it was so high before, and certainly
it never was so high through that period when there was
literally no business activity, no over trading to suppress.
What does all this mean ? What is capital afraid of ?
What is it waiting for ? It was waiting for specie payments
in 1878, and as soon as established it lost its timidity, and
the wheels of commerce the world over were set in motion
again. It is possible that imports of gold from Europe
will defer the evil that is feared, and business will, after
that, revive again. However that may result, it' cannot
but be a short cycle.
The latest reports regarding the condition of the
European crops indicate that there will be a very large
deficiency, requiring increased supplies from foreign
countries. A s an inevitable result, these supplies must
be paid for largely with gold, and as Great Britian is the
clearing-house of the world, and further, as the greatest
deficiency o f wheat is in England, London has been
preparing for the drain, and has had to put the
screws on commerce all summer to do it.
The
accumulations
have
therefore
been
very consid
erable and now the Bank of England holds over two
million pounds sterling more than at this time last year,
and is gaining weekly. Still, the most of this addition
mUst have been drawn from interior sources, as the
imports for the seven months ending August 1st were
only £4,118,057, against exports of £3,701,060. That is,
when trade was already dull in Great Britain the Bank
has had to make it duller so it could gather in the money
made idle to pay for food. This is what England’s single
standard is hosting her. But she hopes to be relieved
soon from this constant pressure by our dropping down
to a silver standard. And who dare say she will not ? "
Our money market shows some indications of hardening
in the rates, call loans averaging for the week about 2|-per
cent. There is also inquiry for time money at about 6 per
cent for ninety days on stock collaterals. But, as we stated
last week, there are good reasons for believing that money
will not be very active for the remainder of the year. The
Treasury is in a position to make liberal disbursements, the
reserves rapidly accumulating, and there remaining about
24 million of called bonds to be redeemed at-the rate of 5
millions weekly, if presented, between this and the first of
November, even if no further calls are made and payment
anticipated. Then, again, the demand for money is not
likely to be so urgent as it has been in past seasons. The
harvest is late, speculation in breadstuffs is stagnant, the
grain centres are full, and there is no particular desire by
speculators or middlemen to urge the marketing of p ro
duce at least for the present. A comparison of prices of
all stocks and staples a year ago with those novr ruling,
shows an enormous shrinkage, and therefore, even if specu
lation were active, less money would be required
to carry it on ;
but as it is dull, and pretty
sure to continue so, there will be less employment
for funds than usual.
Besides, confidence in the
future being unsettled, capital, as' already stated, is
accumulating at the chief centres, and, while not absplutely idle, those controlling it are satisfied with very
small returns so long as the security is ample. Our city
banks had last Saturday over 5 millions more cash and
4 f millions more reserve than they had a year ago, and if
the demand is no greater than it was in 18182 at this
season, the inquiry for crop purposes will be satisfied this
year without exhausting the surplus, th e following will

The fiscal year 1882-3 marked the return of our foreign
trade to what has of late years been its natural condition,
namely, a large excess of merchandise exports over
imports. A s our exports consist almost entirely of agricul
tural products, the changes from year to year follow quite
closely the varying results of the harvest. The yield pf
all crops being exceptionally favofable in the season o f
1880, exports for 1880-1 exceeded 900 millions, and the
balance in our favor reached almost 260 millions; the
yield of the crops for the season of 1881 being deficient
to an extraordinary degree, exports in the year 1881-2

were deficient. The past fiscal year this cause was absent,
and there was a large falling off in the demand for foreign
iron and steel (consequent upon the check to railroad
buil ding), while in addition general trade was not such as
^0 encourage extravagance or excessive consumption, so
that a decided decrease in the total imports was antici
pated. But now it appears that while there is a reduc
tion, it is merely nominal in amount. In other words, our
imports the past year were but 1£ millions below the
largest ever recorded. A n examination of the movement
in detail for the two years shows that though there has been

fell off 150 millions, and this, coming concurrently with a
large increase in imports, caused a reduction in the
balance in our favor to below 26 millions, against the
nearly 260 millions of the preceding year. W ith a far
better harvest in 1882, our exports have again materially
increased, and for the fiscal* year just closed we are per
mitted to record a balance of exports in the sum of over
100 million dollars. To show the import and export
movement for each year since 1870 we have prepared the

Finally, we have carried forward a large surplus of wheat,
which it was assumed at one time would go out during
the late year, and this has of course tended to diminish
the export totals. In order to show at a glance the part
played by wheat, corn, &c., we have prepared the sub

The statement is noteworthy in showing first that cotton
leads by a very large amount all the other staples, and,
secondly, in showing what a large preponderance of our
total exports these four leading staples have. Thus, out
of a total outward movement of 823 millions for theyear, the articles mentioned aggregated almost 600 mil*
lions. Another point brought out by the table is, that
while these four staples have increased 53 millions on
1881-2, they are over 105 millions behind 1880-1. The
increase of 53 millions on 1881-2 is 20 millions short o f
the entire increase in our merchandise exports, and this
shows that a gain of that amount must have been made
outside of the increase in the leading staples, which
cannot but be regarded as a satisfactory feature, especially
if it tends to the diversification of our exports so greatly
needed. The same feature is also to be noted in the
comparison with 1880-1, for while the falling off in the
leading staples is 105 millions, as stated, the total exports
record a decline of only 78, leaving 27 millions as a gain
on general and miscellaneous items. The first position
whichjwas held by cotton the past year was also held by that
staple the previous year, but in 1880-81 breadstuffs lead by
18 bullions. It is to be remarked that while the cotton
exports in 1880-81 and in 1882-3 were almost alike in
value, in the latter year the shipments were actually about
100 million pounds greater, lower prices this year having
operated to diminish values.
A point of considerable interest in connection with our
foreign trade figures is the relation the different ports bear
to the total movement. In the following table we show
the actual exports and imports at our six leading seaports
during the last four years, as well as the proportion of the
country’s entire movement received or shipped at each
of those ports in the same years.
The decreasing movement of corn is here readily seen.
Notwithstanding a^heavy gain in the exports during the
last six months of the fiscal year, the total of this cereal is
somewhat smaller than in 1881-82, and if we compare'
with 1880-1, the movement shows] a“’ reduction of over
one-half. A s for wheat and flour, while the past year’s
exports of 172£ millions appear large alongside of those
o f the 146 millions in 1881-2, they wear a different look
when contrasted with the 211 millions of 1880-1.
The provisions exports— or, rather, those of provisions
and dairy products combined— exhibit an even more
marked decline, the cause for which We have already
explained.
The aggregate for 1882-3 is only 98f
millions, against 112f millions in 1881-2, and against as
much as 145|- millions in 1880-81. Details follow in the

Provisions thus showing a decrease from last year of 14
millions, and breadstuffs an increase of only 2.6 millions,
of which 6 millions is absorbed by a falling off in petro
leum, how was the augmentation of 73 millions in the
total merchandise exports brought about ? The answer
is, in great part by a very heavy addition to the movement
of cotton, the exports of which were 47^ million dollars
greater than in the preceding fiscal year. A s it will be
interesting in this connection to see how the leading
staples— cotton; breadstuffs, provisions and petroleum—
cp^paye with each other, we give the following useful
* Domestic and foreign.
Referring first to the imports, the position of New Y ork
remains unchanged. Under the increasing competition
of adjoining ports it does not lose any; on the contrary,
it appears to be gaining slightly. This year its proper-!
tion was 68-59 per cent; in 1881-2 it was 68-04 per cent;
in 1880-1 it was only 67-77 per cbnt; in 1879-80 it was
68-86 per cent.
It will be observed that during
these four years the fluctuations have been con
fined to a range of only about one per" cent,
showing how constant the ratio has been. N ext
THE CHRONICLE.
216
to New Y ork we have Boston, and this port, too,
seems to be gaining, its proportion in 1882-3 being
10*04 per cent, and in 1881-2 having been 9-60. Like
New York, however, it had a slightly larger ratio in
1879-80. San Francisco stands third on the list, and is
making steady progress forward. It now has 6-32 per
cent of the movement, against 5-27 in 1879-80. One
point suggested by the table is that only such ports as
New York, Boston, and San Francisco, seem hitherto to
have been able to retain or improve their position as re
spects thedmports, no matter how largely they may have
increased their exports. Thus New Orleans, which in the
present year commanded 11-54 per cent of the exports, re
ceived only 1*33 per cent of the imports. Even Baltimore
and Philadelphia appear to be losing their hold. Philadel
phia, besides, also-falls behind in the exports, having this
year dnly 4-63 per cent of the movement, against 5-94 in
1879-80.
.
|The export ratios fluctuate much more widely. This is
so because so much depends upon good or bad crops,
Baltimore, with bad crops last year, lost some of its per
centage; this year, with good crops, it regains a part of
the loss. New Orleans lost last year because of both a
bad wheat crop and a bad cotton crop; this year it more
than regains its percentage. San Francisco, on the other
hand, last fiscal year occupied unusual prominence by rea
son of its exceptional position as respects wheat with refer
ence to the rest of the country; this year, with a good yield
east as well as west of the Rocky Mountains, it had to give
up part of its gain. In the case of “ other ports”, too, good
or bad crops play an important part in raising or reducing
the ratio. There are many of these points— especially in
the South— that serve as exporting centres for large areas,
and of course if these areas suffer a reduction of yield in
any of their standard staples, a corresponding reduction
of exports must follow. That, no doubt, accounts for the
increase this year in the ratio of “ other ports” to 20-23 per
cent; The same cause that operates to raise the percentage
o f these many minor ports also operates to reduce that
of the larger points, so the loss of two per cent by New
York, the past year is not surprising. A s the breadstuffs
and provisions shipments have had so much influence upon
the total export movement from the different ports, we
give below their value at each of the points already men
tioned during 1880-1, 1881-2, 1882-3.

' In reference to the trade movement for June, the last
month of the fiscal year and which we have not previously
reviewed, we have room for only a few brief remarks,
and, besides, the figures have been delayed so long that
they are important chiefly as a matter of record. They
lack all element of freshness. Suffice it to say, therefore,
that the balance was against us in the large sum of 10£
r&illion dollars, but in partial explanation it should be
stated that very heavy importations, arising out of the
operations of the changes in the tariff laws, account for this
to a great extent, though without doubt rather small
exports ar6 also in part to blame. The following is the
movement to and from each port for June and the first
six months of 1883 and 1882.

day the 412% grain dollar was restored fine silver was worth
55d., and it is a significant fact that it has never been worth as
much since. It was predicted that the law would bring the two
metals together again, but in that respect it has been a flat fail
ure. How much lower silver would have gone but for the pur
chase of 2,000,000 or more ounces per month for the American
mints, it is difficult to state with any precision. The absorption
of this amount has helped to keep up the piice to some extent
But the real object of the advocates of the 412/6 grain dollar
has been defeated. No class of men were more grievously dis
appointed. They asked for bread and were given a stone; they
demanded free coinage for the 412/6 grain dollar and unlimited
legal tender. Congress denied the first part of the request but
granted the last part. The coin was restored, the amount to
be coined monthly was fixed, and the Government was given
control of the whole business, just the same as it has control of
the coinage of subsidiary silver.
It is over five years since these operations were^pommenced,
and what has been gained? . The debtor class, that expected to
pay off its obligations in ,85c. or 90c. dollars, has not been helped
to the extent of a single farthing. The producers o f silver
have received a better price for their product. The builders
of vaults for the storage of dollars have had some fat jobs in
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and San Francisco. But the
two metals have not been brought together as they were prior
to 1873, and it is doubtfuLif they ever will be after ten years
of such estrangement, with the diversity fully as great now as
at any time in that interval. It is worth while to stop and
inquire whether the further coinage of this dollar on the
present basis be the best thing that can happen to the coun
try.
Some people fancy that we are carrying out the theory of
bi-metallism by our present system o f coinage. Nothing is
farther from the truth. The United States adheres to the
single gold standard of values quite as closely as at any time
in its history, and quite as closely as any gold-standard coun
try in the world. Though the Government does not under
take to redeem the 412/6 grain dollar in gold, as it does sub
sidiary silver, the former is as clearly occupying the field of
token money as the latter. The retail trade of the country
demands the use of about $50,000,000 in small change, and
this demand is quite as acceptably filled with subsidiary silver

THE CHRONICLE.
make room for a similar amount in dollars, thè Government
has unnecessarily burdened the people with an expense of the
difference between the first cost of these two kinds of token
money, which is equal to $1,400,000, besides the annual inter
est on such an outlay, which at 4 per cent is $56,000 per
annum more: This is all that has been gained in that direction.
The direct benefits of the issue of 412% grain dollars are still
more visionary and questionable. An experience o f 81 years,
during which the coin could have been had by simply deposit
ing metal of like kind and weight, but which privilege was
availed of to the extent of only $8,000,000, shows that the
coin was not wanted during that interval. But as soon as it
was discovered that the privilege had been withdrawn in 1873,
there was a great clamor raised for the coin. The eyes of the
people were opened to the desirableness of having the dollar
by the heavy depreciation in silver which had been brought
about by th e, action-of Germany in going over to the gold
standard in 1872, and by the extravagant stories of silver dis
coveries in Nevada. Had Congress responded by giving the
people just what they asked for, namely, free coinage and
unlimited legal tender, we might not have had the same con
dition of things as now, but we would have had a settlement of
the silver question.
The 412% grain dollar is not wanted as full legal tender
money, and never has been, because too bulky. Congress has
enlarged its sphere by the issue of certificates in $10 and mul
tiples thereof.
These certificates have been largely used
through the custom house and other Government channels.
But they are not a legal tender between individuals, and have
never entered much into private business circles. Upon the re
sumption of specie payments the Department authorized the
reception of the battle-worn greenback in the payment of duties
on foreign imports. Prior to that event it had been impossible to
liquidate any payments of this kind in that way. Now it would
have been just as easy, just as satisfactory, and much more
profitable, to have coined subsidiary silver and issued certifi
cates therefor, to be used in custom-house and other Govern
ment channels, as to have based that species of paper money
on 412% grain dollars.
Here again it is easy to figure out a
large loss to the people by the course that has been pursued.
Between March 1,1878, and July 30,1883, the Government
coined 149,255,879 dollars of 412% grains. To manufacture
these dollars, from 122,000,000 to 125,000,000 ounces fine silver
were purchased at a cost of $125,000,000 to $130,000,000. If this
money were needed, and could have been purchased in no other
way, there would be some excuse for the large outlay. But
this addition to our coin supply was not needed. We should
have got along just as well if we had not expanded the volume
o f money in the country to the extent of upwards of $2,000,000
per month for over five years. We have done this at a cost of
$125,000,000 to $130,000,000 in gold. This is a heavy charge for
the experiment of trying to maintain a bi-metallic currency.
But this is not all. The people have been saddled with the in
terest on this large outlay for all time. Buying silver not ac
tually wanted for circulation is indefensible. The Government
was obliged to buy a certain amount of gold to protect its prom
ises to pay in the form of United States notes. It sold bonds to
accomplish that object. It has been practically selling bonds to
purchase silver. Admitting that the*dollars coined to date
have cost only $125,000,000 in gold, the interest on that amount
at 4 per cent is $5,000,000 per annum. This burden is one that
cannot be removed, but it need not be further increased, and
should not without some better reason than occurs to us.
We think it high time to call a halt in the coinage of the
412% grain dollars. We have already coined more than are
likely to be used in the next fifty years. The operation has
forced $28,000,000 in subsidiary silver into Government vaults,
therè to remain in enforced idleness and uselessness. Were this
sum applied to the redemption of the public debt it would
effect a saving of over $1,000,000 per annum in interest. But
wre are losing that, besides the interest on the original cost of
these coins. We have introduced a disturbing element to com
mercial values and endangered the public credit, by making a
condition possible that would compel the use of silver in the
payment of the public debt. The specie in the hands of the
Treasurer of the United States on the 1st July, 1883, showed
an increase of over 100 per cent as compared with the amount
on hand on the day specie payments were resumed. While
that is an encouraging fact, it should be remembered that the
gold on hand shpws an increase of only 48 per cent and the
silver over 350 per cent during the same intervals
221
The least the next Congress can do is to expunge the compul
sory clause in the Silver Act, and thus give the Secretary dis
cretion to coin silver as needed for circulation. This much
ought to be demanded in the interest of sound finance. It is
well that the demand should form an element in the Congres
sional elections that will take place next fall. Coining silver to
maintain a suppositious theory of bi-metallism is too expen
sive a luxury to be longer indulged in without protest. It is
fraught with grave danger to the credit and commercial values
o f the country.

[From our own correspondent. 1
L ondon, Saturday, Aug. 18, 1883.
Business in this country during the past week has been kept
in a condition of some uncertainty by the unfavorable news
which has been received from the United States, and the effect
has been the more severe as the holiday season is at its zenith^
and the general public are for a time careless regarding Stock
Exchange matters. The more prominent changes have of
course been in the value of American railroad securities, the
fluctuations having in many instances been serious ; but as far
as home and Continental government and other securities have
been concerned, the depression existing has not been of any
alarming character. Spanish Government bonds have risen in
price now that the insurrection has been quelled. Business
has been upon a very limited scale, and the fortnightly settle
ment which has been in progress during the week has not
disclosed any inherent weakness, though it is believed that
the fall in American railroad bonds has produced difficulties
which have been temporarily arranged, and which it is expected
will soon cease to exist, as a recovery in United States securi
ties is expected to take place*before long.
It is the opinion of many that because there were panics in
this country every ten years that a similar condition of things
should exist now, and failures in the United States are looked
upon therefore with apprehension. It is argued that as we
have not had a serious and protracted panic since 1866, a panic
now is to be expected, and should not occasion surprise. Since
1866, however, great changes have taken place. Rapid com
munications have produced great results, though they
have not of course freed us, or any other country, from trouble.
During the last séventeen years the disturbances in the commer
cial and financial world have been more frequent, but brief, and
this is one result which telegraphy has brought about. Then,
again, had there been no Atlantic cable, there would have been'
undoubtedly much agitation here just now; but the intimation
at an opportune moment of coming trouble enabled those in
terested to make their arrangements for meeting approaching
demands, as well as to curtail or cancel any business which it
had been proposed to carry out. It is seldom that a panie
occurs when preparations have been made to meet it, and this
having, to a great extent, been the case hère for some weeks
past, thé situation is now viewed with considerable equanimity.
Business has, indeed, been much curtailed, but the position is a
sounder one, and is calculated to induce merchants to trade with
greater confidence.
The return of the Bank of England is of a satisfactory
character, and there is a probability of further improvement.
It is expected, therefore, that when business is fully resumed
in the new season, which may be considered to open next
month, a moderate degree o f activity will manifest itself. The

weather during the week gives promise of the crops being har
vested in satisfactory condition, and the agricultural returns
just published show that although there is a considerable fall-'
- ing off in the acreage of land under wheat, the cultivation ofother kinds of produce has been extended. There is also an
Increase in the quantity of live stock, and it is thus quite evi
dent that the agricultural resources of the country have been
augmented. The foreign exchanges are still in our favor, and
gold continues to be imported from the leading Continental
cities. The supply of gold is accumulating at the banks, the
present total being £23,237,298; against £21,780,423 last year.
The note circulation has also fallen off, and there is a reserve
of notes and coin of £12,821,758, against £10,691,193 in 1882.
“ Other securities” are £ 2,000,000 less than last year, being
•£20,722,125, against£22,784,057 ; but “ other deposits” are also
less, being £22,359,717, against £24,100,839. The proportion of
reserve to liabilities is 46 54 per cent against 37% per cent in
- 1882.
Money for short periods has been in only moderate request,
and the quotation on the best security is now 3% per cent. For
discount accommodation there has been a very moderate inquiry,
but there has been no material alteration in the rates. The
following are the quotations for money and the interest
allowed by the discount houses to-day and same day of the

The voting trustees of the New York Pennsylvania & Ohio
Railway Company, while expressing their regret at the delay
in the receipt of the traffic returns for May last, call attention
to the circumstances that the work involved in ascertaining the
amount due to the company under the new lease is very great,
and especially for the first month or two. Every station agent
of the Erie and New York Pennsylvania & Ohio system has to
make out his accounts according to an entirely new plan, and
these have to be much more full and elaborate than formerly.
The trustees are fully satisfied that the Erie President and
officials have done all in their power to arri ve at the required
results. They further state that they are daily expecting to
receive the return, which will be published immediately.
The agricultural returns for Great Britain for the present
season, referred to above and which have been looked forward
to with more than usual interest, have just been issued, though
only in the form of a summary. They show some important

The Money M arket and * F in an cial S itu a tio n —Com-pared with any previous week for several months past, the
last seven days have been remarkably free from any unfavor,
able developments in the way of important mercantile failures.
Of course there are always numbers of small mercantile
failures in almost any kind of times, but these do not neces
sarily indicate an unsound condition of business generally,
and now that the larger and more significant ones have appar
ently ceased, and that every great line of trade has had its
proportion of them, it may be hoped there has been a pretty
general re-adjustment of credits on a new and Jower basis of
prices for commodities, instead of the inflated ones of 1881,
the decline from which has caused all the recent financial
trouble.
The most unfavorable incident of the week in connection
„with finances is the default of the Ohio Central Company in
the payment of the semi-annual interest on its River Division
bonds, and it is understood that a proposition will be made to
the bondholders to fund the coupons, in the expectation that
an improvement in earnings will enable the road to pay all
future interest.
Notwithstanding the betterment of the general situation,
capital still to some extent occupies a very conservative atti
tude, though in some respects a less distrustful one than a few
weeks ago. There is some little disposition to buy railroad
stocks and other similar securities now, whereas two or three
weeks ago there was no such disposition at all. This tendency,
however; has not as yet made any impression on Stock Ex
change prices. The market for securities has indeed been
without any governing influence for some weeks, except that
o f the speculators who were interested in depressing prices to
a point where they would exhibit sufficient firmness to justify
'buying for a speculative advance. But the investments here
referred to have been of a different class, and as a rule have
been made with the view of holding indefinitely rather than
of selling again on a rise.
Money in the New Ybrk market has continued very abun
dant for call and short-time loans on collateral security, but
the scrutiny of mercantile paper has continued as rigid as
ever, and quotations continue unchanged at 5% and 6 for 60day and four-months’ double-name paper, and 6 and 6% for
single-name paper. Time loans on government bonds for 60
days continue at 3% to 4 per cent, and on stock collaterals for
60 days and four months the rates are 4% to 6 per cent.
Of the $5,000,000 of U. S. bonds available for redemption
without rebate of interest on Wednesday, August 29, only
about $1,250,000 were presented for payment.
In the last few days there has been a pretty general turn in
the domestic exchanges in favor of New York. A t Chicago, a
week ago, New York exchange was 60c. per $1,000 discount,
but during the last few days has been up to par. ’ A similar
change, though less in degree, has been experienced at other
join ts. '
The last weekly statement of the New York banks showed a
decrease of $1,800,000 of loans as compared with the previous
week, and a decrease of over $6,000,000 of deposits, which was
probably due to some extent to the movement of currency to
the West. The condition of the hanks as compared with last
year reflects -the tardiness of the beginning of the fall trade.
On August 25 the loans of the banks were $8,000,000 less, the
deposits $2,000,000 greater and the surplus reserve $4,700,000
more than on the corresponding date o f 1882.
The Bank of England gained £395,000 in specie during the
week. In the same time its reserve was increased to 47 9-16
per cent, as compared with 46 11-16 a week-previous.
The following table shows the changes from the previous
week and a comparison with the two preceding years in the
averages of the New York Clearing House banks. -

State and R ailroad Bonds.—The railroad bond market has
been generally dull, but prices show no such general decline
as in the two preceding weeks. On the contrary, the market
in the last few days has shown some evidences of speculative
purchasing of such issues as had experienced a large fall.
The most business has been in West Shore A Buffalo 5s, at
73%, 69% and 72 as the range for the week. Texas & Pacific
land grant incomes sold at 53, 52%,. 54%, 53%; Rio Grande
Division lsts at 76, 75, 77%, 77; Kansas & Texas 2ds at 55, 53,
55% ; Fort W orth & D.enver City lsts .at 70%, 67, 69; East Ten
nessee incomes at 29, 28%, 30%, 30; Kansas & Texas consols
at 106, 104%, 105%, 105; Denver & Rio Grande Western lsts
at 65, 63, 69, 68; Ohio Centralists at 79, 65, 66%, and the
incomes at 15, 12%. Outside of these the fluctuations were
small and business light.
In the Alabama class “ A ” bonds there was a decline of %-to
81 and a subsequent recovery to 81%, and in Tennessee com
promise bonds a decline'of 3 per cent to 40.
R ailroad and M iscellaneous Stocks.— During the last
seven days to Friday evening the stock market was at first
very weak, declining-to about the lowest figures on Monday
evening and Tuesday morning. This, however, seemed to be
a turning point from which prices have gradually gained
each day. The result of all the fluctuations is but little
general change in prices for the week. The principal declines
are as follows, viz.: Northern Pacific preferred, 2% per cent ;
common, 2% ; Lake Shore, 4%. On the other hand, the fol
lowing stocks are higher, viz.: Missouri Pacific, 1% ; Reading,
1 ; Texas & Pacific, 1% per cent. Other changes than these,
either up or down, are nearly all fractional.

STATE, CITY AND CORPORATION FINANCES.
The I nvestors’ S upplement contains a complete exhibit o f the
Funded Debt o f States and Gities and o f the Stocks and Bonds
of Railroads and other Companies. It is published on the last
Saturday o f every other month—viz., February, April, June
August, October and December, and is furnished without extra
charge to all regular subscribers o f the Chbonicle . Single covies
are sold at $2 per copy.
“
The sensitive feeling in railroad circles has been jarred slightly
by the default in the September interest of the Ohio Central
River Division bonds. The Ohio Central has been a prominent
corporation in the New York market as one of those companies
m which the issues of stock and income bonds figured largely in
the scheme of their financial management. The Nickel-Plate
road, sold out to the Messrs. Vanderbilt and associates, and
turned over to the Lake Shore Company, stands as the most
successful of the several roads financiered upon this plan, and
nearly all of them have received the sanction and approval of
the New York Stock Exchange, to the extent of having their
securities placed upon the Board list.
There is much'said at present of the evil effects arising from
an excessive railroad building in the past few years, and if the
results are as serious as many persons seem to think, it would
have been wiser to make much of the subject and talk it up
before the harm had been done. The Chronicle may fairly claim
to have shown up the matter very thoroughly in its articles on
new railroad construction, published in the I nvestors ’ S upple
ment of August and October, 1881. It was a mere grouping
together of the facts then known, showing the new roads under
construction and the amount of stocks and bonds then being
manufactured. The articles were not popular at the time, as
they went against the current of feeling, and against the boom
o f the markets, but they presented the facts of the situation
when there was yet plenty of time to trim in sails for those
who considered that there was any necessity o f trimming in.
An interesting: question has been decided by the Supreme
nnThpY V * d; flf r PÌDÌOn’ but merelY states that dividends
o the preferred stock were dependent on net earnings, and
there could be no claim for dividends unless there were net
earnings.
cu
The cumulative property in a stock is a peculiar one and
also peculiarly valuable; it does not entitle the stock to ’divir

filed charges but it does entitle the stock to such dividends
every year that they have not been paid, whenever the surplus
net earnings are sufficient to pay them. Thus, in a series o f
five years suppose that m the first two years the earnings were
insufficient to pay any dividends, but in the last three years a
sufficient surplus was earned to pay dividends for the whole
five years—a cumulative stock would unquestionably have the
claim for dividends at the stipulated rate for all those years
before anything could be paid on the common stock. Although
it is freely admitted that there would be no legal claim fop
dividends unless there had been net earnings.
But the point is raised that the Ohio & Mississippi preferred
stock has no cumulative right to back dividends for any given
year unless there were sufficient net earnings in that yea r This
view is opposed on two grounds-first, that the preferred stock
certificates distinctly say that the holder shall be entitled “ to
have such interest paid in fu ll, fo r ea ch , and every year, be
fore any payment o f dividend upon the common stòck and
the language is particularly strong in drawing a distinction
between the two classes o f stock and saying interest on the pre
ferred stock “ in full,” but dividends on the common stocks
‘ ‘for the year in which said earnings are so applied.” Sec
ondly , the admission that dividends for a certain year were
only to be paid if earned in that particular year, would dò
away entirely with the cumulative property on a stock, and
place it on a level with an ordinary preferred stock having it3
claim on surplus income each year. The Erie preferred stock
makes no claim to have the cumulative quality, but the holders
have sued for their dividend due in a certain past year when
there were sufficient net ear ings, and the suit has so far been
sustained by the courts

Consolidated Railroad Company o f Vermont.—A dispatch
from Burlington, Vt., A u g.'27, says: “ Counsel for the Ver
mont & Canada and the new Consolidated Railroad Company
o f Vermont have agreed on a course of “action in the Hazard
suit. This is brought by Mr. Hazard, a stockholder in the Ver} mont & Canada Railroad, to prevent the proposed consolida
tion ot the Central Vermont system into the* new company, and
the wiping out of the Vermont & Canada stock, by its exchange
7 fo r the bonds which the new corporation is to issue. The hear
ing will be before Judge Wheeler in the Federal Court, at Bur- lington, Sept. 5. Senator Edmunds and B. F. Fifield will
appear for the roadr and Elias Merwin of Boston, for Mr.
Hazard. The injunction granted by Judge Field against the
American Loan & Trust Company, to permit the issue of the
bonds, will hinge upon Judge Wheeler’s decision. In case he
decides that the Vermont & Canada cannot execute a mortgage
for the purp'ose of canceling its own stock, the attorneys for the
new corporation are confident that some method will be brought
forward to overcome all objections and go oh with the consoli
dation. The delay caused by this suit is the reason for the
non-completion of* the consolidation before this time.”
Memphis & Charleston—East Tennessee V irginia & Geor
gia.—The control of the Memphis & Charleston Railroad has
been secured by prominent friends of the East Tennessee Vir
ginia & Georgia Railroad by the private purchase of a large
block of the stock. They now hold about $3,000,000 of thè
$5,312,725 share capital. More than half of this amount has
been bought in the open market, but the transfer of something,
over $1,000,000 was recently completed. The separate organi
zations of the two roads will be maintained, but the present di
rectors of' the Memphis & Charleston will resign in a few days
in favor of the new owners. The change puts an end to the
long-standing differences between the East Tennessee and the
•stockholders of thefleased line iu regard to the management of
the;property. The T ribune reports President Thomas of the
East Tennessee road as saying that the syndicate had bought
out all the dissatisfied stockholders of the Memphis & Charles
ton The terms ou which the purchase had been made were not
made public, but Mr. Thomas stated that the stock stood the
new owners at about 45. Both agreed in saying that it was not
proposed to consolidate the two roads.

THE CHRONICLE.
September 1, 1883.]
Jute B utts, B agging, &c.—-The demand for bagging has not
been so active dating the week, and the inquiry has fallen off.
There is only a light trade doing for the present wants of
buyers, and no inquiry is reported for quantities. Sellers have
not changed their figures, however, and continue to quote 9%c.
for 1% lbs,, 10c. for 1% lbs., 10%e. for 2 lbs. and ll% c . for
standard grades. Butts have been neglected, and we do not
hear of any business beyond a few small parcels for jobbing
requirements. A few transactions were reported to arrive, but
we did not get the amount. Prices are steady, and we quote
l% @ 2c. for paper grades and 2@2%c. for bagging quality.
Shipping N ews.—The exports of cotton from the United
States the past week, as per latest m ail returns, have reached
22,829 bales. So far as the Southern ports are concerned, these
are the same exports reported by telegraph, and published in
the Chronicle last Friday. With regard to New York, we

BREADSTUFFS.
F r i d a y , P. M.. Aug. 31, 1883.
Flour has, as a rule, been dull and depressed of late, choice
spring wheat extra being about the only exception. The re
ceipts of some grades of new winter wheat flour have in
creased, notably straights,while the demand both for export and
on home account has decreased materially. Choice superfine
and the better grades of old and new winter patents, have,
after choice spring extras, been- the best sustained, but the
market, as a whole, lacks the strength noticeable at one time
last week. To-day the market was dull and generally weak.
Wheat has been less active both for export and on specula
tion, and, owing to this fact, together with the improved crop
prospects in Europe, and the fine harvesting weather and large
yield of spring wheat in our Northwestern States, prices have de
clined 1 to 2 cents. Spring wheat has been quiet, largely owing
to its scarcity; $113% was obtained at one time, bat subsequently
the market became dull and nominal at that price. Prime old No.
2 red has continued scarce, and the trade with millers has thus
been materially curtailed. White has been very quiet. The
absence of many operators on their usual summer vacations has
been partly the cause of the comparative smallness of the spec
ulative transactions here for several weeks past, t u : a disposi
tion to await developments regarding the harvests at home and
abroad has likewise been reflected in the reduced business. To
day the market was moderately active at a decline of % to 1 cent.
No. 2 red sold on the spot at. $1
l ^ ' in elevator; No.
3 do. at' $112 and No. 4 at 98%c,; No. 2 red in options sold at
$1 16%@$1 16% for September, $ 1 18% @ $119% for October,
$1 21%@$1 21% for November, $1 23%@$1 23% for December
and $1 25% for January. No, 2 Chicago spring was offered on
the spot here to-day at $1 12%.
Indian corn has been quiet as a rule, both on the spot and
for future delivery, and has declined 1 to 1% cents. Within
a day or two there has been some increase in the speculative
trade, but the export traffic has been quite moderate through
out the week. The cool weather at the Northwest at one
time had some effect on prices here, but the liberal receipts
and the smallness of the foreign trade more than counter
balanced this, especially as the weather became warmer'.
To-day the market was %@%e. lower and moderatively active;
No. 2 mixed sold at 62%@62%c. for September, 62%@63c. for
October and 62%@62%"c. for November.
Rye was quiet in the fore part of the week, but has latterly
been most active, with prices firm. Oats have sold but moder
ately on the spot, though there have been some sales for export
to Antwerp. The trade in options has increased somewhat,^
though fears of a corner on August proved unfounded, and only
a fair trade has taken place for this delivery. Prices have been
irregular, mixed at one time being quite firm at advancing
prices. Latterly, however, the entire market has been weak.
To-day prices fell one cent;' No. 2 mixed sold at 35c. for August* 3l% c. for September, 35c. for October and 36c, for November,

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
F r í d a t , P . M., Aug. 31, 1883.
There has been an active movement from jobbers’ hands the
past week, nearly all kinds of goods adapted to the coming
season having been taken with considerable freedom by
retailers from the South, Southwest and remote parts of the
West. The demand at first hands was somewhat better, the
improved condition of the local and interior jobbing trade
having led to a more general demand for re-assortments. An
auction sale of about 8,000 pieces cassimeres, &c., was held on
Wednesday, and all the goods were disposed of ; but they were
of an undesirable character, and the prices realized were ruin
ously low—say from 30 to 50 per cent below agents’ quotations.
The coming week will, witness a very large trade sale of
blankets, 6,500 cases o f which will be offered to public compe
tition, and a large sale of rugs and mats (the production of the
Grlenham Mills) is also announced. Of course these repeated
auction sales have ,a disturbing influence upon the market and
