The St, Louis & San Francisco, tlie Fort Scott

For the eight months to August 31, we have a some"
what better exhibit in the fact that the numler of roads
reporting a decrease is less than for August, but otherwise
there is little of a favorable nature in tho shov^ing. The gross
decrease aggregates $5,769,599, and as an offset we have
$5,599,818 gross increase, about 3^ millions of which ia
contributed by three roads, the Northern Pacific, the St.
Louis & San Francisco and the Rochester & Pittsburg.
Full particulars for each road are given in the subjoined table.

pretty constant quantity not controlled by the outturn of the
crop, but increasing steadily with the growth of spindles,
influenced of course by the varying activity in northern
consumption, and in a limited way by the lack of suitable
some years raised in special districts. To certain of our
mUlg this route must always remain the cheaper. Not a few
can bring their supply by rail direct from the Southern
plantation to their very doors without breaking bulk; while
the faciUties of others are such that the land and water
carriage are kept in pretty close competition, both routes
tending all the time to lower rates. This fact should not be
overlooked in comparing cost of manufacture North and South,
too much importance being usually given to a saving in freight
staple
on the raw material.
In this connection it is interesting to compare the portion of
the crop which annually seeks a market overland, and the
portion which follows the Southern outports.

By grouping the above into six-year periods as we have done,
one is able more easily to observe and measure the later movement. Such marvellous indu'-trial energy as the figures from
1878 to 1884 disclose could not of course be suddenly arrested.
Had we included India in the above, which has only
assumed importance as a manufacturing centre within the
same period, the contrast would be even more marked. Yet
without that country the statement is perhaps sufliciently
sugge.stive, for we see that during the last six years the annual
consumption has developed from 7,272,000 bales of 400 lbs. in
1877-78 to 9,68.5,000 bales of same weight in 1883-84, or an
increase of 2,413,000 bales, whereas during the previous six
years the increase was only 960,000 bales, and during the
entire twelve years from 1866 to 1878 it was but 2,187,000 bales,
A useful fact in the same connection is the proportion of this
growth in spinning power for which American cotton has provided.
It is quite interesting in studying industrial proRress
to note sometimes how strangly hand-to-hand demand and supply develop. Extra spindles would have been of no use, our immense cotton crops would have been a drug, had not the two
increased concurrently, and the large increased yield here would
seem to have been impossible a few j'ears earlier. These same
relations l*tween a want and its supply may be observed in
earlier periods.

The foregoing shows that the contribution of other countries
during all these years has been almost stationary, the average
for the first period (1866-72) being 2,337,000 bales, and for
the second period (1872-78), being 2,022,000 bales, and for the
third period (1878-84) being 2,015,000 bales. On the oUier hand,
the American supply has undergone a remarkable expansion,
and to-day we have an acreage under cotton which, if the
year were every way favorable, would produce at least 7 million
bales, of ordinary weights or say 8 million bales of 400 lbs.

the world can use the cotton at paying rates, we shall probably
produce the next six years an annual average very nearly up

United States from prolonged depression, European expansion
being concurrent with, and in good part a result of it. Comparing the period 1878 to 1834 with previous periods of similar
lenglli, the rapidity of recent development is more apparent.
For the purpose of giving expression to that fact, we have
prepared the following statement in bales of 400 lbs. the
Europ<\an figures for the last six years being from Mr. Ellison's
circulars, and the other European, together with all those for
the United States, being from our own compilations in " Cotton

prospects, even in Great Britain, as the late annual report of the
Cotton Spinners' Association seems to assume. There is cerlittle force in the argument that, because spinning
has been unremunprative for three years or more, th.at it is to
remain so much Ioniser. Cycles of depression always have and
will come, and always produce weeping prophets who think
every trade is in a state of general decay.
In this case it
should also be remembered that the depression is world-wide :
that enterprise is everywhere checked, so that the power toconsume goods not only has not kept pace with the growth,
that has been in progress in spindles, but has been actually
lessened. Now at such a time to argue about India's little
contribution toward supplying the wants of the East (India's
entire exports of cotton goods of her own make in 1883-4 being
valued at £2,8.53,170, against Great Britain's £33,000,000) seems
to us very illogical. India can only increase her outturn of
goods by an increase of spindles, and that is a very slow matter
anyway while if times improve, consumption will revive and
also will increase, as in the past for the entire history of
the trade shows that making plenty of room for England and
India also. Furthermore, unless spinners' stocks of goods in
England are larger than we suppose, Great Britain must be
increasing her home consumption even now
for her outturn
of goods is considerably more, while lier total export has this
year actually diminished. May it not l>e that the better crops,
the United Kingdom has been blessed with the last two seasons
have enlarged the purchasing power of her peoi)le, and may
we not anticipate similar benefits to accrue from the excellent
results the farmers will secure this year all over Europe ?
But we did not intend to dwell upon this point. We cannot
help adding, however, that there is, in our opinion, one thing
which to-day more than all thin.gs else stands in the way of
progress throughout the world in this and all other industries,
and that is the condition of silver, and we look for no recovery
and expansion like that in 1878 and subsequent years, until its
status is more definitely determined than now. We should

America and other sources of supply now, compared with

supply do not indicate the real fact, being usually given in say in explanation of the very considerable contraction in conordinary bales. Of course in that case an increase in Ameri- sumption in Great Britain as the year closes, that it is special,

somewhat similar process and result appears between Great Britain and the Continent.
Thus in
1871-2 Great Britain consumed 3,015,000 bales( 400 lbs.) of cotton, and the Continent 2,057,000 bales (400 lbs.); but in 1883-4
Great Britain consumed 3,800,000 bales (400 lbs.), and the Contment 3,510,000 bales (400 lbs.). In other words. Great Britain
kept up pretty near its old rate of increase under which the
world's growing demand for goods had hitherto been supplied,
while the Continent, instead of adding on an average but

a double reason to the
manufacturer for restricting production, since any urgency
now in the demand for cotton would necessarily put up the
price materially, whereas if the crop is to be a large one the
prosiject is that it will be decidedly lower later on; and furthermore, prices of goods will not follow an apparently temporary
rise in cotton under such circumstances of trade as now exist.
With regard to the United States, it is scai-cely necessary to
say that the year has also been a poor one for the cotton spinner.
That was the report we had to make last year, but the conditions since then have grown worse instead of better, especially
during the last six months, shaping themselves ss as to prove
about as adverse as possible. Of course, however, a poor season does not press with equal severity upon all. This is true
of every industry. Many furnaces can even turn out iron today at a profit. It may be freedom from debt, more working
capital, greater skill and economies in management, better
machinery and facilities, more favorable situation with reference to the raw material and to a market some or all of these
combined give the advantage, so that while the ill-favored mill
fails, the other earns its dividend.
Often also the single fact as

competition. Spindles have been increasing very rapidly in little later, as the home and near-ljy markets continued longer

Now,
months many new factories have been set in motion, being in however, the industry everywhere finds itself overtaken with
most part mills which were in process of construction when this double pressure — spindles not only excessive but still
last season closed.
The competition between the two sections increasing, and business activity not only slackened as at
is mainly felt in the coarser goods, which form the chief sup- first, but growing more depressed each succeeding six months.

two or three
years, has

ply of the South, freights for the raw material being obviously
more of an item in such cases. Many argue, from results
already obtained, an entire change in the location of the spin-
ning industries of the country. This is a very hasty concluThe past proves simply that up to this time spinning has
in general been successful there, in some cases very successful.
The same is, however, true of mills in the East a good proportion of tliem are even making money today. Experience
of th.at kind settles but little therefore.
Furthermore, relative cost of production is a very difficult
question to analyze. In the first place poor management can
waste the best advantages, while good management makes
circumstances favorable where it does wot find them so. Take
the main question, that of freights. There is scarcely a year
when correct judgment as to time ana place of buying does
not count for much more than any possible difference in handling and moving the cotton. Then, again, rail competition
direct and continuous between the Northern mill and almost
every Southern market however small, with the telegraph
communicating, gives the opportunity to the Northern spinner
of picking up cheap and suitable lots of cotton, and getting
them forwarded at surprisingly small cost. The roads being
built must have business, and besides there is always a tension.
;
It is not surprising, therefore, that the supply of goods should
prove burdensome, and especially of those descriptions in
which the North and South come in competition. The situaation was very similar last year, only the unfavorable conditions have been aggravated this year, becoming in many cases
unendurable since the May panic.
What makes it more
irksome to the manufacturer is the fact that the surplus stocks
now all thrown back on the mills, jobbers and interior
merchants refusing to buy in excess of immediate wants.
As a consequence, mill paper in some cases, where surplus
capital is small, is very abundant, some banks being full of it,
a feature of the general situation which a shoit time since
are
caused some anxiety in financial
circles.
The mere recital of these facts shows clearly enough the
wisdom and remedial effects of the present movement to
curtail production. The need of short time had long been
manifest. Last Ajjril a concerted effort was made to secure
that end by obtaining the consent of three-quarters of the
New England mills to an agreement stopping production one
day each week for two months. The effort, as will be remembered, was unsuccessful, not for the reason that its necessity
was then unperceived, but because some thought the proposed
remedy quite insufficient, others with a supply of low-price
dency, in rates and prices of commodities, in the direction cotton on hand could afford to run at current rates and so wished

Finally, even where a considerable advantage might be classes would of course like to see their neighbors stop; for

subsequent events affected not only the demand for goods
power to carry stocks, while at the same time the
prices of cotton were high and likely to go higher if consumption was kept up. Hence short time was entered upon,
not mainly by concert of action or individual pn ference, but
under the force of circumstances, some stopping in June,
more in July, still more in August, and in the early part of
September, as we write, more than half the sjiindles in the
country are probably idle, curtailing the production of goods
quite materially and giving a steadier tone to the goods market.

work when the last season closed was relatively much
more considerable, there being at that date quite a number of factories iu process of completion or enlargement, all of
which have started up this year. Most of the old concerns, as
JB well known, have all along recorded a very favorable result,
and this gave a decided impulse to enterprise in that direction
which was fuTther encouraged by favorable legislation. Now,
however, old contracts having been completed, any consillerable expansion
is
not anticipated until there are more evidences
a recovery in general business. Not unlikely disappointments will follow many of the later investments. This is
natural, being almost the universal e;sp3rience of rapid industrial development .in any direction.
It should moderate
expectations to remember that all factories in the South have
not hitherto been prosperous ventures, and that it is too soon
as yet to determine just what is to be the future of tliis
of
industry in that section. With the multiplication of mills
many circumstances change, and notably some which have
been so favorable in its earlier history we refer particularly
to the cost of labor and the saving on raw material already

see no reason, however, why cotton manufacturing sliould not go on prospering in the South as it has in
the past, only it is not wise to make cases of jihenomenal success

probably carried over a considerable stock of cotton last year.
As to the North, the takings have been less than the actual
consumption, high prices, with the expectation of a larger
crop in prospect, having induced the using up of surplus stocks.

the coming year will be less trying. In the first place, spinners start with a material lessening in production. This was
essential, and should be continued until a substantial inroad

events, with the crops— which to-day promise very fair results
—made and well started on the way to a market, it is safe to
expect that all trade will receive a moderate impulse. As is
well known, we do not look for great activity. There are too
many fiscal questions unsettled, and which Congress alone
can solve, to permit a full restoration of confidence. Still the
trade seems now as if it had reached its worst estate and that a
gradual recovery as the year progresses could be anticipatedIt is not, however, presumable that there will be any more

South the old successful companies will always be extending

this year, and the North had proved it before, that ignorance
of the business, lack of working capital, untrained and
unskilled hands, are conditions sure to bring loss, and in the
end failure everywhere. Hence, before further expansion is
attempted in either section, a period of rest seems essential.

As

far as tho
concerned there has been
is
movement. There aro but few bills in tlio
discomit market, and it is evident that, notwithstanding tho
chejipnoss of most descriptions of goods, very little desire is
Khown to embark in commercial enterprise in any extensive
way. Tho war in China has almost completely checked for a
time our trade in that direction, and the Egyptian affair isako
retrogra<lo
a source of anxiety. It is true that the (toverninent is preparing an expedition, but the community has been so greatly
disappointed regarding Egyptian expeditions that they have
no alternativo biit to await results. The}'ear is now liecoming
somewhat advanced, and the indications are not at present
very encouraging. To trade witli great caution seems to bo
the correct policy to pursue,

Tenders for £1,000,000 Nottin/;ham three per cent stock
wore received at the Bank of England yesterday, and the applications amounted to £l,4.'5."),!WO, at prices varying from
.C87 lOs. down to £8-7, tho minimum.
Tenders at tBo Os. M.
will receive about 33 per cent of the amount applied for, and
those above tliat price will neceiro full allotments. The
average price obtained was £85 4s. 2d.'
Municipal borrowing seems to be increasing. The corporation of Leicester now require a small amount, about j£140,000. Tho price of issue is £99 per cent for a 3^ per cent stodk.
Tho wheat trade has Iteen very dull. Tlie quantity of new
produce coming to market is not at present extensive, but the
samples are good and are readily marketable. Very few harvests ,
show an improvement upon this. We sluill, however, require ,^
large supplies from abroad, as production is much below oar*'
requirements. That we shall obtain what wo require on easy
terms is not to be doubted. The top price of fine English white
wheat is only 408. per quarter. The quantity of- wheat and
flour on passage to this country is estimated at 1,943,000
quarters, showing a slight increase over last week. Of Indian
corn it is 330,000 quarters, against 131,000 quarters last year.
Last Saturday completed the 53 weeks of the season. We are
therefore enabled to give an estimate of the quantity of cereal
produce available for consumption during the twelve months,
e
with other statistical information.

The large number of frauds and defalcations by cashiers,
and other persons in positions of trust, leads officers of corporations and members of large firms to look about for some
simple and efiicient method of protecting themselves against
the dishonesty of employes. No other plan appears to be more
simple, nor any as satisfactory, as the security furnished by a
guarantee company. The first of these companies established
in this country was the Guarantee Company of North America,
with its head office at Montreal, of 5vhich Sir Alexander T.
Gait is President. The Company's t^venty-third semi-annual

There has been a strong contrast between the weather preand last year,
which has had much to do with the business situation. It will
be remembered that the first killing frost which cut short the
com crop of 1883 occurred on the 8th of September, and for
a number of days prior to the 8th the temperature was so
low that the crop made little progress toward maturity. This
year all is different, and during eight consecutive days, from
the 4th to the 11th, inclusive, the thermometer rose each day to
On the other hand, the heat, which ha.s been
92, or higher.
80 promising for the future of com, was destructive to business activity for the time being, and transactions at the
Stock Boai'd were reduced to a minimum; in this, also, last
year was far different, as the driving of the famous golden spike
on the Northern Pacific took place on Sept. 8, and there came,
to say the least, a decided animation in our stock market,
although it was animation of that sort which many would
have been glad to avoid.
The wheat crop is now estimated by the Agricultural Bureau
to be .500,000,000 bushels, and corn (the largest crop ever
vailing in the early part of September this year
estimated at 1,800,000,000 bushels, and these crops,
now current, can hardly help
fiving a feeling of prosperity in the agricultural districts.
he_v show, too, how much more important is the corn crop
than any other of the cereals, although it is to be remembered
that new corn moves hardly at all before December, and the
benefit to the railroads and commission men must come mainly
after that date
Rates for call loans during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged at 1 to 4 per cent, and to-day at 13^(ai2

The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a loss in specie of £157,331, and the percentage of reserve to

the discount rate
remains at 3 per cent. The Bank of France lost 2,506,000
francs in gold and 2,718,000 francs in silver.
The New York Clearing-House banks, in their statement of
Sept. 6, showed a decre;use in surplus reserve of $1,571,475,

State and Railroad Bonds.— In State bonds only two or
three sales have been recorded diu'ing the week, among which
were Tennessee compromise bonds at 44 and North Carolina
special tax, 2d class, at 4.
Railroad bonds have been very dull until to-day, when Erie
seconds were sold freely and declined to 56, closing at that
price. This weakness was on account of the London oodimittee's report.
In other bonds there have been no features
of much importance.
Railroad and Miscellaneons Stocks. The stock market
has been exceedingly dull on account of the hot weather, but
until to-day prices were fairly maintained.
If it be true that
the large grain crops of this year will give the railroads an
active business in the winter and spring of 1885, it is also true
that we are now on a period of between-seasons until those
crops begin to move heavily to market. One of the disconraging features of the present moment would be swei)t away if
the disagreements among the several railroad pools were
adjusted, and harmony should be restored all around. Asthis^
only requires the assent of the various railroad managers, and.
as they may conclude at any time to patch up their differences
and cement a peace, it is plain that the situation in this respect
may change for the better without a day's warning. The
main thing is to have enough business, and if the products of
the season furnish that, the rates can be, and ought to be,
fairly maintained.
The di-ssolution of the pooling arrangements between the
three telegraph companies opposing Western Union wa»
interpreted a.s favorable to the latter company, but the matter
is not yet clear to the public, and some new combination, or
the absorption of the Bankers' & Merchants' by other companies, is far from improbable.
The Vanderbilt stocks must depend largely on the business
of their several roads during the balance of this year, and
especially on the maintenance of fair rates for freight and
passengers on the trunk lines. There are now two roads at
insolvent companies between Buffalo and New York, and
there will be much interest to see who is to have control of
—
them hereafter.
The Union Pacific statement of earnings for July is fully
up to Mr. Adams' predictions, and shows for the first time this
year a gain in net earnings over the corresponding mouth of
1883— the net for July being |1, 324,650, against $1,220,849 in
July, 1883.
The weakness in Erie stock and second consols to-day wason London selling, based on the committee's report submitted
there, which was considered unfavorable, giving the floating:
debt as $11,250,000, and the income inadequate to meet
charges.
The coal situation remains unchanged, and a moderate reduction in prices of coal would appear to be the best way to prevent a more serious break from the schedule rates. Central of
New Jersey has been weak, partly in consequence of reported
selling of Vanderbilt stock, though the certificates were said
to be stock loaned to encourage a short interest.
The tone to-day was generally weak, and the maiket
declined slightly in sympathy with the attack on Erie txmds
and stock.

&
Mercliants' telegrapli companies.
Tlie President
of the
company, who had been made the executive manager of the
united telegraph lines, said that the agreement liad not been

had not been able to fulfill its part of the tripartite agreement.
Mr. Bates said to a Tribune reporter: "We are trying to lielp
the Bankers'
Mercliants' out of its difficulties, "but we cannot say that our efforts have really been of any account. Our
withdrawal from the pool is absolute, but our relations with
the Postal Telegraph Company have not been disturlaed by
the failure of the Bankers'
Merchants' to keep its part of the
agreement.

the business of the public or with the affairs of the Bankers'

been ai)jx)inted by the court special master to take account of
the indebtedness of this company, and also of the value of its
property, gives notice that he has fixed on Friday, Oct. 10, at
noon, as the time, and his oftice in Richmond, Va., as the
place, to take the accounts and make the inquiries directed by

the Oregon & Trans-Continental Company, have been requested

Nortliem Pacific Board of directors.
The Philadeli)hia Press says "The annual report is partly
written, and has been considered by the directora. It is said
to be a short and business-like document, which explains the
actual condition of the company's affairs. According to the
document the road is in excellent order, and the promise for
the future is bright. Work on the Cascade Division is progressing rapidly, and at the end of this year it is expected

shows that the business has fully met the expectations of the
most sanguine frieiuls of the road. The net earnings are fully
up to the estimates, and the report shows a surplus of upwards
of $1,000,000, after paying all charges. This money really
belongs to the i)referred stockholders, who are entitled to all
earnings after the interest charges are paid, but it was thought
wise by the board to keep the money on hand. The land sales
reported for the year amount to |5;2. 400,000, nearly one-half of
which is applicable to the retirement of the preferred stock.
NaviAs has been stated, the lease to the Oregon Railway
gation Com])any is not recommended, as that company
demands too heavy a guarantee from the Northern Pacific.
President IlaVris and a number of the oflScials of the Northern
Pacific Company have made a thorcugh examination of the
the court.
Uochesle'- & Plttshnrg.— At Albany. N. Y., Sept. 9, application was made to ihs Attorney-General of the State, requesting him to bring an action to dissolve this company and to
have a receiver appointed for its property. The petition to the
Attorney-General sets forth that the present company was a
consolidation of five other companies, two in Pennsylvania
and three in New Y'ork, and charges that it has Issued |10,000,000 in stock, being .?3, 000,000 in excess of the consolidated
capital stocks of the different companies. This, it is claimed,
is illegal, and on this ground the Attorney-General is asked to
d issol ve the corporation. After hearing arguments he reserved
:
his decision.
Spartanburg Union & Cftlumbia.— On Sept. 1 the management of the Columbia & Greenville Railroad turned over
to the stockliolders of the Spartanburg Union & Columbia
Railroad all the property of the latter road. On April 1, 1881,
the Columbia & Greenville, which is jiart of the Richmond
Danville system, leased the Spartanburg Union & Columbia
for ninety-nine years at an annual rental of $50,000. The
receipts from the leased road have yearly fallen short of the
annual amount paid for it; hence the determination of Richmond & Danville to surrender the lease. But the owners of
the road have not consented to the cancelmg of the lease and
a suit will probablv be begun against the Columbia & Green-
&
&
proi>erty this summer. The Northern
Pacific people estimated the value of that property at about

as indicated by our telegrams
from the South to-night, is given below. For the week ending

Friday Nioht, Sept. 13, 1884.
The weather has continued intensely hot, causing much week and
physical suffering, and proving a serious obstacle to the progress of seasonable trade. The low prices of the products of
agriculture and the depressed state of mining and manufactures also operate unfavorably, and the volume of business is
below the average. As the season progresses, however, a
may
be looked for. The costs and risks
of business have been materially curtaileil, and it is believed
that when the marketing of the crops gets fairly under way
better state of affairs
the situation will improve.
The speculation in lard has been much more active and at
times excited, owing to the manipulation at the West, and
the fluctuations in prices have been unusually wide. There
was a sharp decline in the course of Monday and Tuesday and
equally great advance on Wednesday and Thursday. Today
an early advance was followed by a fresh break in values, the
close being weak at 7'55c. for September, 7'47c. for October,
for
7-34c.
November,
7-37c.
for
December and
7-43o.
for
January. Spot lard has also been much more active, advancing last evening to 7'SOc. for prime Western, but receding
and closing at 7'62J^c., with refined for the Continent quoted
at7'90@8c. Pork has declined and is quoted at 1 17 for mess.
Bacon has remained nominal, and cutraeats have been dull,
prices showing a downward tendency. Beef is nearly nominal
and beef hams have declined to $30 50 per bbl. Tallow is dull at
CJ^c. Butter has shown an upward tendency, creamery closing at 20@ 370., and Western factory 10@ 15c. Cheese is also
firmer at 7@10^c. for State factory. The following is a

To-day there were slight fluctuations and limited dealings,
without important changes from yesterday, but as compared
w^thla.st Friday the close was at a decline of 10@20 points,
the latter for September. Cotton on the spot remained quotably unchanged until yesterday, when there was a decline
of aj-gC, leading to more business for home consumption.
To-day there was ag.i-In a fair business for home consumption,
the demand being cliicfly for the better grades, and quotations
were steady on the basis of 10^-^c. for middling uplands. (The
closing figure given in our last was for middling Orleans.)
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 259,100
balee.
For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
6 ,890 bales, including 560 for export, 6,330 for consumption,
in transit. Of the above,
for si)eculation and
bales
were to arrive. The following are the official quotations for
each day of the past week.

has been comparatively slow for tlie week undar review, yet
the fluctuations in prices have covered a pretty wide range
Crop reports current on the Exchange have not been favorable.
The Bureau report was, however, less unfavorable than
expected. On Saturday there was an advance, which was
fully lost on Monday, under the comparatively full receipts at
the ports. Tuesday was variable, closing unchanged, except a
slight decline for September and October. Wednesday the
changes were slight and the close irregular. Yesterday there
was a semi-panic the decline from the close of Wedn^day
amounting at one time to 14@16 points, under the belief that
there was nothing in the crop accounts to discredit estimates
of a material increase in the yield over that for the season just
closed but there was a partial recovery in the later dealings.

Receipts from the Plantations.— The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are sometimes 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
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
like the following.
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement fi'om the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market tlirough the outports.

East India Crop.—The Bombay Price Current of August
gave the following concerning the cotton crop
:
•"Prom the Berurs and Khandeish the accounts
of the growing plants
*re all that could be desired, with the exception of parts here ami
there -B-hcre low-lying fields have sutrered slightly from too much
Irfsture. In Breach a similar state of matters prevail.';, but further
aorth toward Veerumgaum and in the Bhowuugger districts tine
•weatlierls wanted to enable sowing to bo completed. As the indioa••ons, however, seem if favor of a break, tlie probability is that even
tadie places instanced we shall yet have a good crop."
The excessive rains in June and July gave the cotton plant a vigorous growth, and during the latte'- part of July, after it had been freed
of grass. It fruited well, but the weed was full of sup and this rains have
been followed by cool nights and a protracted drought. These unfavorable conditions have caused the plant to shed heavily. Rust has
appeared in every county, and the bolls are opening prematurely. The
growth of the plant has been checked, and in some sections all the
blooms and e(|uarea have been cast, leaving ouly bolls partially and
fully matured to ripen. The crop is from ten days to two weeks later
than usual. The yield now depends largely, especially in the northern
part of the State, upon the fall seasons. If frost comes early the crop
will be cut short, but a late fall will be very favorable. This summary
of the returns applies to the Btate generally, but there are exceptions
to these eonditimis. In poitions of nearly every coimty the correspondents say that wlierc the crops have been well -worked aad fertilized it is
fully up to an average.
The condition, coiniiared to an average. Is reported in Upper Carolina
at 89, Middle Carolina at 87, Lower Carolina at 93. Average tor the
State 89. At the same date in 1882 the condition was reported at 91,
and in 1883 nt 84. The present condition of the crop, therefore, la
below 1882, b;t better than 1883.

Septeiubor 12, 1881.
Wheat has declined an important item, owing to depressed
markets in Europe and at the West, and large orders to sell
both on home and foreign account. The crop prospects, both
in this country and abroad, are excellent. There has been a
very fair business for export, the transactions, indeed, on some
days being liberal, and the speculation has been larger. The
buying here has been largely by shorts, though some purchasing has been done,, it ia claimed, on long account, on the idea
that prices are nearing the bottom and are liable to take a sudden
turn upward. The report of the Department of Agriculture
jwas construed as favorable to the bulls, and at the opening
yesterday, owing to this and some decrease in the quantity of
.wheat and flour on passage for Europe, there was a slight
advance; but later, under further orders to sell, the advancg
was lost and a decline followed. Shotts covered both here
and at the West with some freedom. The bears contend that
fbe prospects- point to a renewed cutting of rates on the railroads terminating here and at Philadelphia, and that on this
account there is little probability of a decided advance for the
present.
The markev to-day was again lower. No. 2 red
dosed weak at 87c. afloat, 85i^c. for September, SGJ^c. for
October, 88%c. for November and 90>^c. for December, showing a decline of fully five cents for the week.

Flour has been quiet and still depressed. The receipts have
been large and the weather oppressively warm, and these
unfavorable influences, joined to the dulness of trade, have
caused a renewed weakness. The commoner grades are in
larger supply as a rule than recently, though the stock of
superfine is moderate. Spring wheat flour is not in excessive
•supply, Eome grades in fact being rather scarce; but the
- d jmand, on the other hand, is light, and.even these description s

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Friday, P M.. September
12, 1884.
The demand for dry goods was unfavorably inflLien(M>d the
past week by oppressively warm weather, and business waa
comparatively light in all the wholesale branches of the trade.
Commission houses and importers continued to receive a good
many re-orders from interior markets, but personal selections
were chiefly confined to a few specialties, which were taken
in small lots to a moderate amount. There was a re-action
from the activity lately noticed in the jobbing trade, many
retailers having deferred their purchases of fall and winter
goods on account of the torrid temperature which prevailed.
The lull in business which existed during the week has caused
no uneasiness, and there are so many retail buyers in the market and its vicinity that jobbers expect a renewal of activity as
soon as the weather becom*is more propitious for the distribution of goods adapted to the coming season.
Accounts from
the West and Southwest indicate a steady improvement in the
business outlook, but Southern trade has thus far failed to
realize expectations, and the demand from near-by markets is
somewhat backward. Collections are progressing fairly well,
but distributers in certain sections are hardly as prompt in
their settlements as could be desired.
Domestic Cotton Goods. There was a very light export
movement in domestics, only 883 packages having been
shipped from this port the past week, of which 399 were sent
to United States of Colombia, 188 to Great Britain, 123 to San
Domingo &c. There was a steady call for small re-^sortments
of plain and colored cottons at first hands, but the demand
was by no means active enough to justify a speedy resumption
of production by the mills which have shut down for a time.
Brown cottons were in pretty gcxxl demand, but at low prices,
and there was a light movement in bleached goods, wide sheetings, (x^tton flannels, corset jeans and the various descriptions
of colored cottons. Print cloths ruled quiet, but prices continued steady (on the basis of 3)^0. plus 1 per cent for 64x64's
and 3c. for 56x60"8), although the Fall River mills have all
started up again. Prints were less active in agents' hands,
but a fait business was done in jribbing circles. Ginghams
ruled quiet and cotton dress goods were lightly dealt in bj
package buyers.
Domestic Woolen Goods. The situation in the woolen
goods market ha.s not undergone any material change. Operations in men's-wear woolens were comparatively small, with
the exception of worsted suitings and indigo-blue flannels,
in which a fair business was done by some of the principal
agents. Spring cassimeres have been opened in some quarters,
but few orders have thus far been placed by clothiers. Kentucky jeans and satinets ruled quiet with agents, and there
waa a limited call for repellents. Ladies' cloths, cloaking*,
Jersey cloths and stockinettes were in steady but moderate
demand, an(i ther« was an irregular inquiry for all-wool and
worsted dress fabrics, shawls and skirts. Flannels were taken
in small parcels to a fair amount, but blankets were mostly
