Thirdly, all predictions as to the time at which
resumption will be possible are futile, except we have some
guarantee against further dilution of the currency. As the
first decline of our currency from the level of specie started
from the law of February 18G2, and grew with the excessive
issues of irredeemable paper money introduced by that
statute, so every returning movement of our currency
toward that level requires as its fundamental condition a
contraction of the surplus volume of redundant issues.
Lasily, we must infer-that the recent fall in gold, gratifying
as it may be in other
aspects, offers less evidence than has
been supposed of the early approach of specie payments.

there has

larger movement to New York this year, and there is also
a
considerable deduction for railroad shipments North from
Mobile and New Orleans, which had been once counted at
those ports.
Hence the direct receipts by the mills are
only 19,435 bales in excess of the statement of last September.
Each year the making up of the overland movement calls for
increased labor and care.
This arises from the multiplication of
the avenues, and changes in them, by which the crop is dis¬
tributed.
During late years it seems as if but a few months
only elapsed between the conception of a new railroad and its
completion, while new connections are being constantly formed

Not in all cases,

of

do these roads become cotton avenues, and yet with most
them, even where we believe they have carried no cotton, we
are required to obtain a return so as to be sure that nothing
escapes us.
We take this occasion to express our thanks for the
course,

of

kind assistance which

we

have received from all the companies,

enabling us to present our work with so much confidence in its
completeness. For the satisfaction of our readers we may also
mention that, as an additional precaution against error this year,
we have had made up for us
returns from a weekly record of
shipments over these roads kept at the place of shipment, in
addition to the return at the end of the year from the road itself.
To indicato^liis overland movement, we have found it necessary
to prepare a new diagram of the Mississippi, Ohio and Potomac
Rivers, for the purpose of adding the railroads running north
and east, which have been completed during the year :

To attain this

end, therefore, we have used the simplest method
possible, plain to everyone, based upon the obvious fact that no
cotton can reach the North by railroad from the South except
by
passing up or across the Mississippi, Ohio, or Potomac Rivers.
If we follow those rivers along their entire course, and count
every bale as it crosses or leaves any one of them, we shall have
included beyond a doubt the entire overland movement.
Beginning, then, at Cairo, we find that the Illinois Central
Railroad may take cotton from that point and from Mound
City,
and also from the Mississippi, over its branch at Carbondale and
its

new

branch -at Chester.

A return from that company

shows

that it has this year thus carried North (including some small
lots shipped at way stations in Southern Illinois, probably tlie

growth of that section,) 23,640 hales. From the same point the
Cairo & Vincennes (a new road completed this year) is likely in a
short time to build up a cotton business ; thus far, however, it
has

only carried 34 bales.
by these routes no cotton leaves or passes up tlie
Mississippi (not including local consumption) except what is ship,
ped from St. Louis, or what crosses the Mississippi at Hannibal,
brought to that point from the Missouri,Kansas and Texas Railroad,
The shipments at St. Louis during the year have reached 51,795
bales, and the movement across the river at Hannibal has been
only 2,213 bales. Returning, then, to the Ohio, and following up
the north hank, the first railroads we meet with are the two roads
at Shawneetown, one the Springfield and Illinois Southeastern,
and the other the St. Louis and Southeastern, which latter road

Over the first

10,221 bales have been carried from Shawneetown,

(the St. Louis and Southeastern) has carried

cotton, its course being westerly

rather than easterlv.

At Evansville

we

have the Evansville and

Crawfordsville road, which has carried

north from Evansville
12,048 bales. The next lines of road are opposite Louisville
the first of which is the Louisville New Albany and Chicago.
This road has carried only 40 bales of cotton the past year. Next we
meet the Jeffersonville Madison and Indianapolis Rail oad, includ¬

ing the Madison Branch, a full return from which shows that
they have carried 75,957 bales. The Ohio and Mississippi Branch,
the road next in order, is given at 95,299 bales.
From these lines
of road up to Cincinnati there are no railroads running north from
the Ohio taking cotton.
At Cincinnati the receipts by the river
direct from the South have been 77,291 hales.
The Louisville,
Cincinnati and Lexington Railroad has also at this point delivered

road has taken any cotton from the Ohio River.
There is, how¬
ever, a small amount of cotton coming up the river which
is not taken by any of these railroads, nor does it stop
at Cincinnati,
but goes direct to mills either above or
below that city.
We have estimated this movement from
such returns as we have been able to obtain at 22,000 bales.

With regard to this overland movement we repeat portions of through line connecting both with the South and Southwest, re¬

To avoid misun¬ portant road from Richmond to Washington, via Acquia Creek,

The statement we

Southern consumption is

the consumption of each mill. Hereto¬

questionable. We have felt that it was very important to relieve
these crop reports of this last vestige of uncertainty, and hence
have labored very assiduously to procure the actual figures.
To
this end we first obtained through the kindness of Mr. Walker,
Superintendent of the Census Bureau, the names of all the mills
in each Southern State as they existed at that time.

and 1871. The case put forward
is not difficult to dispute, for the war indemnity has been paid,
while Germany has ceased to beu large buyer of gold. The Ger¬
mans are certainly sufficiently shrewd to perceive that if they
will require gold for coinage purposes before the close of the
year, the present is a very convenient time to purchase it, while
two months hence the case may be different.
But at present
there is no German demand, and hence the accumulation at the
bank or in the country is great. There is just now quite the usual
amount of notes and coin iu circulation for harvest and traveling
purposes ; but this may soon be expected to return, more espe¬
cially if the weather continue unsettled and pleasure-seekers
bring their tours to a close. We must nevertheless expect an
increasing demand for money. With the advent of September, it
is only natural to expect it, more especially as money being cheap
capitalists are not likely to allow it to remain unemployed, but are
likely to adopt means to obtain a larger return. Hence we find
that sound foreign stocks have of late been largely absorbed, the
fortnightly settlement arranged this week having disclosed a
great scarcity in the market. Even Egyptian stocks, notwith¬
standing the recent loan, were very scarce, and to “carry over”
the Khedive loan the rates of interest charged were so high that

Tiie Scottish American Investment Trust.—This is a
company formed in February, 1873, in Dundee, Scotland, for the
purpose of investing money in first class American securities,
through tiie influence of judicious brokers, and thus tO.realizo for
the shareholders of the Trust the
high rates of interest which can
be had on many excellent stocks and bonds in this
country. This
method of putting funds
together in a company—as in the Scot¬
tish American Investment Trust—and
employing suitable parties
to make
investments, at a reasonable commission, is one which
commends itself as wise and practicable. The
company, and its report just rendered to the first general meeting
of certificate holders, show that the
company is to pay regular
dividends of 0 per cent per annum, and at the end of ten
years
the whole of the investments will be realized and the
profits
divided. Thus far the Trust has invested about
$1,750,000, chiefly
in first class railroad
bonds, and the average rate of interest
realized amounts to 7 GO per cent
per anuum.
—One of
cial

our
exchanges states that “ Messrs. Fairbanks, finan¬
agents, report an increasing demand for the bonds of the

Vermont division of the Portland &
Ogdensburg Railroad, which
is stimulated by the
prospects of the early completion of the
road. It is seen that the tratlic of the road,

gold; the settlement of the Geneva award in coin; the
shipment, of large amounts of currency to the country, and
the call on new banks to make good their deposits at Wash¬

influences which bore heavily upon the New York money market,
and coming at the same time produced a temporary disturbance
which looked for a while quite serious.
The last bank state¬

CHRONICLE.

THE

1873.]

September 13,

Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
was variable during the early part of the week, and frequently
depressed, as the bears made the most of the advantage which
accrued to them from the unfavorable bank statement and the
Railroad and

of the N. Y. Warehouse and Security Com¬
pany. Fluctuations were frequent, ancl the market was for a
time quite sensitive, and prices easily knocked off a fraction by
rumors having little or no foundation.
About the lowest prices
were reached on Wednesday, but on Thursday there was a partial
recovery in tone, which has been more marked to-day, with a fur¬
ther advance in prices.
It is still believed by many that the
party lately trying to depress the market have done «o for the
purpose of buying in, and that when sufficiently loaded up they
will be on the other side,
liailroad earnings for the month of
August, and for the eight months from January 1 to September 1,
areltully reported on another page, and will generally be found
quite favorable.
The daily highest and lowest prices have been as follows:

bonds for funding hills of the Bank of the State, (the State own¬

have still to rely upon the faith and credit of the State for pay¬

change the form of an indebtedness pre-existing when the new
Constitution was adopted. These stocks and bonds amount to
$12,851,327. The new Constitution provides, article 9, section 7,

General Assembly, to be recorded by yeas

of accomplishing a consolidation of these securities the
Comptroller thus sums up :
' ,
1. There is a large amount of the debt held in trust, and by
executors and administrators who may not have the power to
convert the securities held by them even if they wished to do so.
The consolidation must be entirely optional on the part of the
holders of existing bonds. 2. The provisions of the sinking fund
for the payment of principal as at present constituted, which
apply in different degrees to certain portions of the debt, cannot
be changed without new legislation protecting the original
holders as now secured.
3. The bonds, fall due at different
periods. 4. They bear different rates of interest. 5. There are
different provisions of law for the security of the various classes
of bonds.
0. There is now existing an issue of what is called
consolidated stock, coupon and registered, due in 1901. 7. Stocks
payable from the existing sinking bind can only be paid as they
mature out of the revenues of this fund.
The comptroller thinks thiit it is possible to fix upon a standard
bond payable in fort}” years, at 5 per cent interest, payable semi¬
annually, principal and interest payable-in gold; while the general
features of these bonds should be the same, thav might lie made
to mature at different dates if found indispensable to m>et the.
existing conditions of stocks and bonds now outstanding. A
table of equalizations of values, taking time of payment of prin¬
cipal, gold and currency, and rate of interest into consideration
should be publicly presented, by the rule of which any holder <4
existing stock could exchange his bonds for the new consolidated
bonds. Adequate provisions of law must he secured so as to
render the bond per i cily ch ar and unmistakable as to the suffi¬
ciency of legal authorization, and so that any stocks or bonds
hereafter to be issued for any purpose, except short hoods-pay¬
able out of taxes or ass •ssim nt.s, shall be issued as of tlie consoli¬

from War Trace (5G miles southeast of Nashville) to Shelbyville,

The report says that an addition of $100,000 might have been
made to the net income but for blockades in the connections of
the road, and the late epidemic of cholera in Nashville.
The receipts of the 151 miles of main line between Nashville &

Chattanooga were at the rate of $10,878 per mile. Much is ex¬
pected from various new railroads in construction or projected,
especially lor- the Chattanooga Division, which commands the
most direct approach over the mountains from the north to Georgia
and the States east of it, and has but one competitor (the Louis¬

ville & Nashville’s line from Nashville to Montgomery, Ala.,) for
traffic crossing the Southern mountains. The local traffic of this
division increased by about $03,000 during the year. The total

earnings of the St. Louis Division increased $21,180 in the same
or about 34 per cent, the through freight tralilc yielding

be noticed in referring to the statements of the rolling stock

the whole capital will have been paid out, whem 3’our company will

cars and 2,500 box cars, as well as
for several locomotives and
other cars, such as flats, passenger coaches, Ac. In mentioning

TRADE.

Tlie

city continues to be well tilled with buyers, the arrivals
being fully equal to the departures, and a brisk trade is in
progress throughout the market.
The trade during August and
thus far in the current month has been greatly iu excess of the
same period in former
years, and compensates in a gr.-at measure
for the comparative dullness during the,earlier months.
The
transactions at present are largely of a jobbing character, and the
sales in this department have shown a mo e decided improve¬
ment this week than those from first hands.

Domestic Cotton Goods.—The strong market for

small propor.

of refiners, and a continued absence of those grades
still restricts business to a small scale. The stock of Cuba is somewhat larger
than at the time we last wrote, but even now numbers hut 779 hhds., very little
of which is adapted to boilers’ uses. The supply of Porto Rico, largely grocery
stock, foots tip 1,114 hlids., from which moderate sales are making in lots for
trade distribution. A limited business is doing in English Islands to the
trade, and the stock is reduced to 187 hhds. We have 200 bbls of New Orleans
in stock according to late counts, and small sales are making at decidedly
better prices for fine grades.

ket anil prices are stiffly maintained, with a moderate business. The sales of

The figures iu our
cotton statement for the crop year of 1872-3 will be found inter¬
esting as showing not only the general movement of the heavy
crop, but the increased consumption of both’ Northern and South¬
ern mills.
The transactions in brown sheetings and shirtings
have been active, and a liberal distribution lias been effected by
jobbers. From first hands sales were also liberal, although the
already reduced state of stocks prevents commission houses from
operating largely beyond the filling of previous orders. Bleached
