every industry, and hence not only these frost rumors
but also the September report of the Agricultural Depart¬

attention.
The latter, in fact, helps us in some degree to
measure the former, and for that reason we have brought
together the September figures for ffive years with the
figures of acreage and production during the same time.

SITUATION.
The past
week has been conspicuous for the scare with
regard to the corn crop, the early reports affirming that frost
had cut it, in so large a portion of the Northwest, that
the yield would be very small.
Such a result if assured
would be serious in its influence upon the trade of
the whole country: but the immediate effect of the state¬
ment was particularly important among speculators—so im¬

that the crop
in the very large
corn-producing States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa was on Sept. 1 in a condition very decidedly above
the condition at the same time of last year, Illinois in
particular, and that Illinois and Indiana were also then
even above the condition of 18S0.
In fact, these Western
States taken together (if we omit Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, which are very small 'corn producers, as
we shall presently
see) were in a more promising state on
the first of this month than they were at the same date
of the productive seasons of either of 1SS0 or 1882.
The figures of acreage for the same five years were as

in advancing the price of wheat and corn, in
spite of the
abundant yield, foreign supplies will be obtained elsewhere.
Consequently gold imports will depend upon the specula¬

have passed the lowest point, and henceforth may expect
an
improvement in the totals. In June there were on9 or

an increase, which
in many cases is very marked indeed.

THE CHRONICLE.
Northwestern roads
again lead all others in amount of
Increase, but in point of actual improvement first place
we think should rather be given
to Southwestern roads ;
for the former last year in many cases suffered a reduc¬
tion, while the latter at that time recorded very heavy
;gains. Still, Northwestern roads have done something
more than
merely recover last year’s losses. Thus the
'Chicago & Northwestern gains §241,378, though it lost
only §103,542 in August, 1882, and the St. Paul gains
$305,802, though it had lost only §133,163, while the St.
Paul & Omaha gains §57,682, after having gained
$45,821 a year ago. The St. Paul Minneapolis & Mani¬
toba, of course, with its large decrease, occupies an excep¬
tional position among Northwestern roads, even as it did
in 1882 with its heavy increase, but the falling off in the
immigration movement and the competition of the Cana¬
dian Pacific readily account for that.

this theory, we have
not only the
uniformly good returns of Northwestern
roads—carrying only spring wheat—but also the decline
in the earnings of such roads as the Illinois Central main
line, the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and the Evansville &
Terre Haute, all of which last
year gained through the
extraordinary movement of winter wheat then in progress.
The Peoria Decatur & Evansville, in much the
same
territory, has a small increase this year, but the road
lost §10,500 in 1882, and, besides, Peoria, does
not, as the
above table will show, get much wheat—the
augmentation
in its grain movement was rather in corn and oats.
A word as to the
receipts of wheat at St. Louis and
Toledo.
It will be noticed that the totals at both
points
are
heavy, not only in themselves, but as compared with last
year, when they were thought to be exceptionally large.
The explanation will be found if we take these
August
figures in conjunction with those for July published
a month
ago. The July receipts of wheat (winter variety),
it will be remembered, were very small indeed, and one of
the

large increase in the receipts of
corn at
Chicago
will attract attention. The movement is double that of last
though still one-third less than in 1881. It is to
Chicago chiefly that Northwestern roads carry. Yet if is
not likely that the increase there in corn this
year counted
for much with the roads detailed above, since
they lie too
far north to embrace the corn belt.
Some of them might
share to an extent in the movement from
Iowa, but it is more
probable that roads like the Burlington & Quincy and the

grain not maturing until many weeks later than last
year.
This facq which tended to reduce the movement in
July, operated to increase it in August, much of the
early wheat, instead of moving, as last year, in the former
month, coming forward in the latter month. Hence it is
that Toledo received 3,847,597 bushels this
year, against
only 2,410,330 bushels in August, 1882, and against only

Tennessee, where the crop was excel¬
year the conditions 'were materially dif¬
August than last, but that is of little consequence, considering that in 18S2 it just about doubledHts
movement of 1881.
The main point to be borne in mind
T
in this connection would
seem
to be that the movement of
winter wheat in
August in the district tributary to these
reason stated, exceptional this year, and
therefore be accepted as offering any
positive
ports, was, for the
cannot
guide for the future.
The Wabash, having
some
a
line to Toledo, probably received
benefit from the heavier movement of wheat at that
point, and very likely also gained in corn (on its lines in
the corn-raising
States), so it is easy to understand how it
has not only maintained the increase of
§229,706 estab¬
lished in August, 1882, but slightly
improved upon the
same.
The roads that connect Chicago with Kansas
City
and points beyond, where the
crop prospects are excellent
and where, consequently, farmers have been
freely sending
their produce to market, all
appear to be doing well.
For instance, the
Chicago & Alton has earnings of
§861,169 this year, against §856,398 in 1882, and only
§769,751 in 1881. The Hannibal & St. Joseph has a small
increase on earnings of last year over
§50,000 above
those of August, 1 SSI.
In the St. Louis Alton & Terre
Haute we have a line running east from St.
Louis, and
that does not make a favorable
showing, thoitgh to its full
extent, it should be said, the1 decrease merely offsets the
gain of a year ago. But on the lines running west and
southwest from St. Louis the returns, as
already intimated
above, are most satisfactory.
The St. Louis & San
Francisco loses §'12,000 of the §95,000 added to
receipts
in August, 1882, but the roads in the Could
system make
continuous gains, which in ma«y cases are
noteworthy. Thus
the Missouri Pacific has further swelled its
earnings this
year §44,000, after having gained over §249,000 in 1882;
the Missouri Kansas & Texas adds §S5,000 to its
gain of

As to this road, it is to be said, that August showed some

also the Richmond & Danville lines in quite a marked company’s earnings for that month are consequently the

with the heavy additions to
mileage, keeps enlarging its earnings. The Central
Pacific reports a decrease of $68,000, but it should be
remembered that last August it gained $262,000.
The
Union Pacific loses its increase of a year ago, but
then in 1881 the earnings were exceptionally heavy, there
having been an increase in that year of over $700,000 on
1880.
The Canadian Pacific is doubling its receipts as
well as its mileage, and attention is called to the fact that
notwithstanding the large addition of new mileage, the
earnings per mile are rising rather than falling. The
Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe figures have not yet come
to hand, but it is reported that the earnings are about the
same as in August, 1882.
We have none of the large trunk lines in our list, but
the Grand Trunk of Canada and its Chicago connection—
the Chicago & Grand Trunk—keep steadily augmenting
their receipts.
Among roads that compete to some extent
for trunk line traffic, the Lake Erie & Western loses $21,000
this year, after having gained slightly in 1882, while the
Indiana Bloomington & Western has an unbroken gain.
For the first eight months of the year the statement is
quite satisfactory. The percentage of gain is somewhat
heavier than for August, some of the earlier months
having been more favorable in this respect than the later

encouragement is likely to be given to foolhardy speculation ;
but the country should be satisfied if a steady legitimate move¬

a sounder one than it was at this date last year, and it would
be wise to retain the soundness by trading judiciously.
The demand for money has been falling away perceptibly
during the week; The supply of commercial bills in existence
is small, and there is more lloating money.
Hence the rates
with great
of discount have declined.

Calculating these in percentage form, they stand
Agriculture has issued a report
relating to the agricultural position. It relates to eighty-five
departments, and the returns are the reverse of satisfactory.
In thirty-seven departments only have they exceeded the aver¬
age, being good or very good. Those of fifteen departments are
called average, and in thirty-three they are below the average.
Large importations, therefore, will again be necessary. Barley
and oats are abundant, but the production of rye and mixed
crops has been deficient.
As regards the vintage, only fortytwo returns had been sent in. Twenty-five reports allude to an
abundant, or sufficient yield, while the remaining seventeen are
regarded as deficient.
The weather in North Germany and in Holland has been
more favorable, and the crops are
expected to yield better re¬
sults than had been anticipated.
The sales of home-grown wheat in the principal markets of
England and Wales during the last fifty-two weeks have been
2,590,120 quarters, against 1,853,127 quarters in 1881-2, 1,627,“
368 quarters in 1880-1 and 1,353,642 quarters in 1879-80.

‘-These three reports,” says the Agricultural Gazette, “taken in sue
weeks, are virtually unanimous, and almost identical. Our own
report of the wheat crop is less favorable than that of our contempor¬
aries, and, taken a week later, will probably he understood as being
even more likely than the others to
represent the truth. On the other
hand, our reports of the barley and oat crops are more promising than
cither of the others.
-•Of the other produce of the land it will sulfice to
say that the summer
has been favorable to all succulent
growth—that root crops generally
promise well, that pastures have been more than usually productive,
and that, barring its liability to disease, which is
already appearing in
many -places; the potato crop has never promised better,
“We add one more set of tables, giving the character of the com
crops from ouuown columns in several successive years, from which it
will be seen that, during the whole

The information collected by the Minister of the Interior from all
parts of the Empire as to the state of the harvest up to August 14
shows a
marized
satisfactory state of the
crops generally. The reports are sum¬
as follows: The yield of
wheat'appears to be generally satis¬
factory ; but the results in twenty-three provinces are not wholly
satisfactory. The results are generally middling in the Polish and
Baltic- provinces, and in Archangel, Bessarabia,
Vladimir, Volhynia,
Viatka, Kaluga, Kostroma, Kursk, Nijni-Novgorod, Olonetz, Minsk,
Mohileff, Orenburg, Perm, Saratov, Smolensk, Wilna and Kharkoff.
The harvest in the provinces of
Ekaterinoslav, Kalisz, Pensa, Ufa and
Kherson is unconditionally bad. The hay crop has
been very varied in
results, being abundant in some provinces and a mere nothing mothers.
Locusts and other
destructive insects have appeared again, but in much
lesser numbers, and they were also much more
energetically dealt with.
The Emperor sent a special commissioner to
organize and direct the
destruction of the newly-hatched locusts ; and large numbers of
troops,
especially Cossacks, though much against their will, were pressed into
this service. The reason for the harvest not turning out so
flourishing
as was expected is no doubt to ho found in the
recent unfavorable
weather.
Heavy and continued rain in many places has done a great
deal of damage.

Louisville & Nashville.—It is commonly reported that Mr.
Jay Gould has purchased a large inter eat, and possibly a con¬
trolling interest, in the stock of this company, aDd that he is
to enter the board of directors with Russell Sage at the next
meeting. The election of Mr. Baldwin, President of the Louis¬
ville & Nashville, as a director of the Western Union is regarded
as confirmatory of these reports. —The Homestake Mining Co. announces its sixty-first divi¬

however, it does not seem to affect mercantile interests. All

reports of
trade and collections at the West are very favorable.
Rates for call loans oh stock collaterals on the Stock Ex¬
change have remained during the week at the low rate of 2
cent per annum^and time loans at 4U and 5 per cent for
GO days and four fllrmths on similar collaterals.
Rates for
discounts of single name mercantile paper are
generally 1 :> of

single names,

The domestic exchanges were generally against New York
early in the week, as the result of the demand for currency
to market the crops,but are now somewhat more favorable to
this centre at one or two Western points.
The last weekly statement of the New York banks showed
increase of $i,700,000 of loans, whereas for two
pre\ ions
weeks there had been each week a decrease of about an
equal
amount.
The change indicates a little more

The reduction in the Bank of England rate of discount
from 4 per cent to 3'7 per cent in the last week has attracted
considerable notice.
But the Bank rate has for some time
been above the? rate in the open market, and advices from
London indicate a probability of
continued ease in money
there. The Bank rate was advanced to 4 per cent on the 10th
of May, and since that time the coin and bullion in the Bank
lias increased nearly £3,700,000.
The gain of the Bank in the
Tast week was £140.000.
The Bank of France in the same time showed a loss of
•
2,575,000 francs in gold and 4.475,000 francs in silver. Advices

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—The un
usually early frosts at the close of last week unquestionably
gave a chill to the glowing expectations of an extraordinarily
large corn crop. That some damage was done is beyond ques¬
tion, but there is abundant reason for believing that the early
estimates were gross exaggerations.
It is seen now that the
greatest harm was done in the States raising the least corn,
namely : Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, which together
produced only 81 million bushels last year. With reference to
the influence of a large or a small crop of corn upon the ton¬
nage of railroads, one general fact should be borne in mind,
viz., that the great bulk—nearly all the corn which makes
railroad traffic, or goes out of the States.where it is produced
—comes from the
territory south of the latitude of Chicago.
What lends so much importance to the question of a
good yield of corn is the fact that so many interests t
are dependent upon the out-turn of that cereal.
The partial
failure of the corn crop of 1881 was the cause of the* high
prices Of food and of all provisions in 1882. and was the
primary cause of many other unfavorable features in business
generally that year.
The supply of money for loans on collaterals in the New
York market continues exceptionally large. There
lias.scarcely
ever been any previous similar
supply at this time of the year.
It is difficult to give any one .comprehensive reason for this
condition of the money market.
The redemption of govern¬
ment bonds has unquestionably been a factor in
producing it,
but the more immediate causes of the-superabundance of
money for call loans is probably to be found in the fact that
capital is still distrustful of investments, and does not run
into railroad bonds and stocks very readily yet.
Accommo¬
dation to merchants by discount of single-name
paper is also
less freely extended, and possibly some capital which lias been
used in that way has been diverted from that channel.
If so.

York. This must have been in anticipation of the effect of
the reduction of the rate of discount by the Bank of England,
as there had been no decline in the rates of Continental bills

Slate
and Railroad Bonds.—There has Teen less business
the last week than, in the
in the market for railroad bonds in
•preceding
one, and many of the issues usually the most active
show declines in prices of 17 to .1 per cent.
The range of
several of the more prominent bonds during the week lias
been as follows, viz.: West Shore & Buffalo 5s.
74:!4. 73)7,
73:!4; Northern Pacific lsts, 104 E, 103V, .103)7: Texas & Pacific
kind grant incomes, 57, 55, 5GV, 55r,a; do. Rio Grande Div¬
ision lsts at 79. 77V* Tt>. 77:{4* 7?/.j:
Kansas & Texas
general mortgages, 81::4. 80, 81V, 80V. S0)7; Chesapeake &
Ohio currency Gs, 50, 48, 48;{4: Milwaukee Lake Shore &
Western firsts 1U1. 102. 101.
It will be seen by. the forego¬
ing ranges that the last prices, which are those of Friday,
the 14th. are almost all lower than the first prices, which
are those
of the 7th.
A few issues are higher now, viz.:
Chesapeake & Ohio firsts, series B, 93).£, 95, 94,V; Mil¬
waukee & St. Paul consols, 119 V, 121)7 ; Missouri Pacific con¬
sols, 103, 105. Atlantic & Pacific incomes have sold at 28)7,
27, 28 and 25. Outside of these there have been but few
changes.
There has been no business of any
consequence in State
bonds during the week.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—Apprehensions
of
the effects of damage to the corn crop by frosts, and also to
some extent of an outbreak of
rate-cutting 'among the roads
in the Trunk Line Pool, have had a
depressing effect on stocks
during the week, and prices are generally lower. The bears
took advantage of these circumstances to hammer the market.
The result is that the stocks of the roads
traversing the North¬
western States, where the frosts were
worst, have suffered a
good deal, while those of many roads in other parts of the
country show but little decline. The most significant declines
in this connection have been
Michigan Central, 4'4 per cent;
Northwestern preferred, 3:{4 ; Union Pacific,
3)4 ; Northern
Pacific preferred, 3’4 ; Northern Pacific
common, 2'V: Omaha
common 1)7, and the preferred 1; Canada
Southern, 1)7; North¬
western common, 1)7; Lake Shore, 1V ;
St. Paul preferred,
IV : Denver, 1>4. All other declines than these were mostly
fractional.
The only prominent stock which shows an
advance for ttie week is "Western Union,

purpose
A
step in the right direction has just been taken by the New
York State Railroad Commissioners in
adopting a resolution
requiring that railroad companies in this State shall make
quarterly reports of their earnings, expenses and net income,
accompanied by a brief balance-sheet giving their financial con¬
dition. The resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners
is
as
follows
:
Resolved. That every railroad corporation in the State, in addition to
their animal report to the Hoard ot' Railroad Commissioners, be required
to make quarterly reports beginning with the tirst day of July,
upon
forms provided by this Hoard, showing their financial condition, and
that such report be published at least once in a daily newspaper pub¬
lished at the place where the principal ollice of such railroad company
shall be ; and such report shall be made by all railroads and railways,
and the corporations, receivers, trustees, directors, or others, owning or
operating the same, and also by all sleeping and drawing-room car
companies or corporations, and to all other associations, partnerships,
companies or corporations engaged in transporting passengers or freight
upon any railway, or lessees, or otherwise.
The form
prescribed for the quarterly statement of income
balance-sheet, to be verified by the oath of an officer of
the respective companies, is as follows :

sound about its name that is attractive to
“lambs,” and this helps the original maker to get it out of his
hands—but afterwards there is little hope. Out of some fifty
different issues of income bonds
on
the
New York Stock
Exchange list how many have paid any interest in the past
two years ? And unfavorable as these years have been for
stock speculation, they have not, upon the whole, been a bad
time for railroad
earnings. The income bond is a delusion in
professing to be what it is not—first in offering the holder some
probable hope of income, and secondly in pretending to have
Some security as a bond.
In the first regard, it is next to impos¬
sible to get railroad managers to look with any respect upon an
income bond ; they have so long been accustomed to treat ifc
with indifference as a thing having no fixed rights, that to
expect one of our railroad officers in these days to treat an
income bond as a security with legal rights, would be more
extraordinary than to expect a Mississippi man to have respect

Rowland G. Hazard against the Vermont & Canada Railroad
and the American Loan & Trust Co. of Boston.
This suit is
identical with that, recently brought, in the Massachusetts

any net income of the road over and above all proper expenses
for operating and interest on mortgage bonds. But the precise
nature of the net earnings and operating
expenses is so loosely
defined, that railroad officers find it easy to consider almost
anything as expenses 'proper enough to take precedence of the

On the other hand, the bonds
seldom carry a voting privilege, as preferred stock does, and
are therefore useless in
exerting any control over the manage¬
ment of the company.
In nearly all cases where income bonds
are issued, a preferred stock would be much better, as the
rights of a stockholder are better defined at law ; and if it is
really intended that the holder should have a claim on
income next, after the interest on mortgage bonds, the pre¬
ferred stock should be made cumulative in terms so plain and
so strong that no court of equity could refuse to enforce the
privilege.
Let income bonds and all anomalous securities be abolished,
and let the obligations of railroads be brought down to the
well-known forms of ordinary stock ; preferred stock with

obligation to pay regular interest on them; and finally,

expenses and earnings of the main line and branches and the
cost of extending several important branches.
Luring the past
fiscal .year the revenue derived from passengers was $021,170,
an increase of $40,011, which,
taking into consideration the
opening of new competitive routes and the necessary increased
completions and lower rates for through business, is considered
very satisfactory.
The earnings from freight during the same
time were $1,513,S75, an increase qf $149,808. The total bonded
indebtedness at the close of the fiscal year was $8,757,000. The
road operates 554 miles, at 55 S-10 per cent of the gross receipts.
The increase in earnings has been attained partially by the
encouragement of the location of blast furnaces and mills and
factories along the line and at Nashville ; but most of the
increase may be accounted for by the bountiful crops of 1882
throughout the country traversed by the road. After the
meeting of the directors the shareholders elected the following
directors: James G. Porter, J. H. Inman, V. K. Stevenson, J. W«
Thomas, G. A. Washington, Thomas C. Whiteside, G. M. Fogg,
J. W. Childress, Thomas Lipscomb, T. W. Evans, M. H. Smith,

coal roads—the Erie at Newburg, the Delaware & Hudson
Canal at Rondout, the Delaware & Hudson Canal Railroad at
Albany, and other roads further west. But the most striking
advantage which the road possesses is undoubtedly its really
magnificent terminal facilities, a point not less important to the
City of New York than to the company. These are quite
unequaled by any road coming into the city, and may be said
to excel those of all the others combined.

“ There are two tunnels on the line worth mention : One
3,600 feet long at Bozeman Pass in the Belt Mountains and one
3,850 feet long at Mullan Pass in the Rocky Mountains proper.
,
The Bozeman Tunnel is 5,548 feet above tide-water, and is the
highest point on the road. The Mullan Tunnel is seventeen
feet lower. The tunnels are not yet finished, and steep surface
lines have been built overhead for temporary use, with grades
of 220 feet to the mile.
In crossing the mountains the grade
of the permanent road-bed never exceeds the prescribed limit
of 116 feet to the mile.
The sum of these maximum grades,

Northern Pacific Railroad Company, in order to obtain accurate
knowledge of its resources, organized a great economic survey
under the general direction of Prof. Raphael Pumpelly.” * *
Three topographical parties in the field are mapping the
territory in 200-feet contour lines. These maps will be valuable
not only as indicating drainage arears, possibilities of water
storage and other data for comprehensive irrigating operations,
but they will also furnish the basis on which the facts ascer¬
tained by all the divisions are to be represented.
The physical
facts gathered—the distribution of soils, volume of flowing
water, climatic conditions, range and abundance of grasses,
mineral and forestal resources, and the like—will all be recorded
cartographically in a generalized form.
“These maps and the reports of the survey are primarily for
the guidance of the road in its general policy in various direc¬
tions, such as building feeders, inviting emigration for special
purposes, or encouraging particular industries. They will also
give the world comprehensive and authoritative information
concerning the Northwest and its resources. They will not
enable a man to select a quarter section or 100 acres of land of
such quality as lie wishes, but they will give all the needed
information as to large blocks of land and the general character
of any region.”

The company has failed to pay interest on the River Division

The Car Trust trustees have taken possession of their
property, and arranged to take wheelage on their cars instead
of regular payments, until an arrangement can be made with
the River Division bondholders.
^
The report goes into detail as regards the causes which led
to the present condition of affairs, and says that the great
decline in the prices of coal and the amount consumed, begin¬
ning over a year ago, with the suspension and decline of the
iron business and the reduction of the production of manufac¬
tured goods, has caused the receipts of the company to fall
forty cents
per ton below the estimates the most conservative
coal operators made eighteen months ago.
This has made a
difference to the company, on 800,000 tons of coal mined and
shipped last year, of $320,000.
Damage by floods last summer and this spring to the extent
of $50,000, and the delay arising from the same cause in finish¬
ing the river division (which is not yet in running order), has
added to the difficulties. The contractors are behind in the
completion of the Ohio River bridge, and will not complete it
before Nov. 1, 1883. The company has received no benefit
from the earnings of 164 miles of the new line, from the causes
named.
The* board recommends that coupons on the river division
firsts be funded for five years ; that interest on the Car Trust
certificates be reduced from 8 per cent to 6 per cent, and that
the payment of the principal be deferred for three years ; also
that stockholders pay in $5 per share, which, with couvertible
assets of the company, is expected to be sufficient to complete
the Ohio River bridge and equip the river division.

payable after Oct. 15 to stockholders of record of Sept 20. The
usual corrected statement of the
business and results of the
preceding quarter (ending June 30) shows that the net resources
of that quarter were $85,103 less than the amount estimated in
the statement of June 12, and the nominal surplus was $3,653,566 instead of $3,743,792, as then estimated. The estimate for
the current quarter ending September 30, compared with the
sami quarter of 1882, shows a decrease in net “ revenues” of
$679,477, and a surplus remaining after the payment of divi¬
dends of $123,521 ; but the dividend paid for the quarter of

Friday Night,

frosts in middle and northern latitudes on Satur¬
day and Sunday last,which did much damage to minor crops, but
to Indian corn the injury seems to have been slight, and a full
yield of all cereals except wheat seems to be now assured.
Violent storms in Texas and on the Atlantic Coast have also
occurred, without important results to crops. The weather is
now quite warm.
Autumn trade has made fair progress, a
belter feeling pervades financial circles, and altogether the
position of business is quite promising.
The speculation in lard has been of the most meagre and
uninteresting proportions. Prices have drifted about until
latterly, when a somewhat better tone prevailed, resulting from
reports of injury to the corn crop. To-day news was received
that the increased acreage of corn would more than supply any
damage sustained by the recent frosts, and lard declined sharp¬
ly ; the speculative interest was again moderate ; October op¬
tions sold at 8 36@S’42c.; seller year, 8T9@S’23c.; January, 8 22
@S‘27c.; closing weak ; October, S’36c.; seller year, S‘20c.; De¬
cember and seller year, ST5@ST7c.; January, S’18(0)8 20c. On
the spot prime Western sold at 8 50c.; refined to the Continent
at 8’85c ; South America 9 50c.
Pork was dull and easy at
$12 75@$13 for mess on the spot. Bacon ruled weak at 7?sc.
for long clear. Beef hams are very quiet at $19 50@$20 for
Western prime.
Beef is also slow and almost nominal at $17 50
@$19 for city extia India mess. Butter has been active at ad¬
vanced prices; fancy fresh creameries sold at 2S(e29@30c ; there
were sales in the interior at 28c ; export butter is held above
shippers’ limits and quoted at 23@24c. Cheese is strong at
1034c. for the best; full creams 9@9/2C., and night skims 7/2(0)
9c! Tallow is quiet at 7%c. for prime. Steariue weak; prime,

last, and on
Saturday, rumors were current that the forthcoming report of
the Agricultural Bureau for August
(given on another page)
would be quite unfavorable.and
consequently prices improved.
On Tuesday the report
appeared and the rumors of its charac¬
ter were confirmed.
There was then a further advance, but
the demand was not sustained, and under sales to realize there
was a decline of
8@10 points from the best figures of the
morning, the close being lower than the latest figures of the
previous Friday. But on 'Wednesday the Liverpool report
came
unexpectedly strong.
That market was active and
buoyant and further improved yesterday.
The Southern
markets also advanced and the speculation in futures at
New
Orleans became quite active.
These influences caused a rise
from the closing prices of
Tuesday to the highest of Thursday
of 17(<I25 points with large
dealings, partly on orders from the
South, with some “outside'”buying. The close on Thursday
was at 5@7 points
under best, prices. To-day Liverpool was
easier and this market opened weak, but soon became steadier,
and in the last hour was active and
buoyant on a demand
from the “shorts" to cover contracts,
closing excited at 1G-T/20
points advance, making 30(do5 points advance for the week.
Cotton on the spot has been in good demand for home con¬
sumption, and a fair business was done for export. Quotations
were on Thursday advanced
Lie. To-day there was a brisk
demand for home consumption, and the close was
strong at
IOJ4C. for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 702,400
bales. For immediate delivery the tot \ sales foot up this week
9,046 bales, including 1,2.70 for export, 8.266 for consumption,

The above statement shows—1. That the total receipts from the
plantations since September 1, in 1883, were 107,489 bales; in
1882 were 85,885 bales; in 1881 were 212,755 bales.
2.—That, although the receipts at the out-ports the past week
were 64,348
bales, the actual movement from plantations was
69,761 bales, the balance going to increase the stocks at the
interior towns. Last year the receipts from the plantations for
the same week were 52,10S bales and for 1881 they were 112,0 94

prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following. In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of theweekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

“The September cotton returns of the Department of Agri¬
culture are less favorable than those of August.
The principal
cause of injury is drouth, which has reduced the prospect in
every State except Florida and Tennessee. The decline has beeu
greatest in Texas. In North Carolina and Virginia the tempera¬
ture has b>-en too low at night, withserious drouth.
“The Gulf States report more or less general prevalence of
the caterpillar and the boll worm at many points.
“The general average of condition is reduced to 74.

consequent short time this month in Great Britain, 10,000 bales
are deducted from consumption during the month.
The rate
of consumption is, however, still 72,000 bales per week.
f The Continental consumption Mr. Ellison has increased by
the addition of 50,000 bales of Surat cotton—equal to 48,000

Georgia Agricultural Department Report.-—The report of
the Commissioner of Agriculture for September 1 has the fol¬
on
cotton
:
“The cotton prospect lias undergone no great change. Some localities
report a very decided improvement, due to local rains, w hile in otliera
the crop has suffered a still further falling off in the prospect. In north
Georgia no cliaiige is reported; the prospect, compared to an average
crop, being still 70, as reported for August 1st. In middle Georgia the
In southwest
percentage is 06 against 73 in last report-a loss Of 7.
Aug. 31 the receipts at the
ports this year were 1,299,374 bales more than in 1831-82 au<fc
145,648 bales more than at the same time in 1880-SI. The
receipts since September 1, 1883, and for the corresponding0
periods of the five previous years have been as follows.
18S3.
Sept.l
“
Georgia the falling off is very remarkalde—03 now against 80 a month
ago, a reduction of 17 per cent in one month. This signal resu't is
largely due to the prevalence of the catcrpill u\ which will probably des¬
troy the late crop in t he greater part of t hat sect ion. East Georgia shows a
reduction of 5 per cent since the August report, being (13 against 08.
Southeast Georgia shows a slight improvement, the reports indicating
a percentage of 83, a gain of I .per cent.
This section, however, pro¬
duces hut little cotton.
In the State at large the cotton prospect has
fallen off 5 percent during the month under review, 70 being the gen¬
eral average at this date against 75 last month. Several of the corre¬
spondents” express tlie fear that they have, even at the low figures
given, over-estimated the prospect. It may he stated with strong con¬
fidence, that the cotton crop of Georgia cannot, m any event exceed
75 percent of an average crop, with the probabilities very strongly in
favor of a lower ligure. We have yet to pass the season of the usual
equinoctial storm, and should it occur with violence* the damage from
this cause would overbalance any advantage that can result from a
1882.

to-night are now 25,143 bales more than they wrere to the same
day of the month in 1882 and 53,149 bales less than they were

September 14 in each of the years named.

Comparative Port Receipts
and
Daily Crop Movement.—
A
comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate
the weeks in different years do not end ou the same day of
the month. We have consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader may
constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the years named.
The movement each month

quiet for export, but
freely to shippers, though concessions
more
have been found necessary to stimulate trade,
the Liverpool market has been depressed. The
especially
as
reports from
the West and
Northwest, moreover, have stated that the yield
spring wheat would prove larger than had been anticipated.
It may be added, however, that no small share of the business
on
the spot has been speculative, some
operators buying in this way
and then selling the later options
against their stocks. Options
have been fairly active, and were at one time firm in
sympathy
with corn, but have latterly been
slowly declining owing to the
more favorable harvest advices.
To-day the market was lc. to
1/2C. lower and fairly active.
White wheat was in small
supply and there is only a mod¬
erate stock of prime No. 2 red.
For No. 2 spring afloat $1 08
has latterly been obtained, but in
general this grade has been
held above exporters’ limits, and
they are disposed to await
arrivals of new crop, which promises to be of line
quality, and
which, it is expected, will begin to arrive here in a few weeks.
No. 2 red wheat sold to-day at $1 13/»i in elevator and
$1 14^
afloat and No. 2 spring at $1 07 ; options at $1
13@$1 14 for

of
Indian
corn
has been
active, the demand being partly
export and partly from shorts, who have covered their
contracts in many cases,
owing to the frosts at the West caus¬
ing an advance of several cents. The reports as to the damage,
more
for
done to the crop have been
conflicting. Conservative author¬
ities say it has been exaggerated ; that the severe frosts were
too far North to do any
very great injury to corn.
Some little
time must elapse before
anything is certainly known as to the
damage
sustained.

Agricultural Bureau Report.—The
Agricultural Department
Washington issued on the 11th instant its September report
on the condition of the cereal crops of the country.
Below we
give it in full.
at
“
September returns to the Department of Agriculture indicate lower
corn than in August in every section of the country and
iu nearly every State. The only gains in the West are in Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska, where slight improvement is indicated. Minne¬
sota stands as in August; Arkansas makes a gain of one point, and
Georgia and Alabama remain as in August; but all the other cotton
States show a heavy decline. The figures are also much reduced for
condition of
each of the Middle States.
“
surplus States show changes as follows: Ohio, a reduction
Michigan, 68 to 0'->; Indiana, 95 to 85; Illinois. 86 to *2 ;
Iowa, 85 to SO. The increase in Missouri is from 83 to 81; Kansas, 99
to 101 ; Nebraska, 84 to 87.
The dee ine in New Yo: k is from 90 to 77
and in Pennsylvania from 99 to 89. The general average of condition
on the 1st of September was 8 4, a decrease of 5 points during the last
The
corn
from 89 to 82 ;
month.
The cause of tills reduction, so nearly universal, is drouth, which
reported from every State of the Atlantic coast, the Gulf coast and
the Ohio Valley, and beyond the Mississippi to the crest of the divide
between that river and the Missouri. Between the Ohio River and the
lakes the distribution of rain lias been unequal, in a few places in
excess, while a deficiency is generally reported.
The crop is nearly everywhere late, requiring one to two weeks
“
“
longer season than usual to mature. Where Kansas and Missouri seed
was planted iu more northern territory, the crop is still later, causing
much apprehension as to ripening. While planting was late and the
early season too wet, with drouth following, the average temperature of
the summer has been low, making a full yield an impossibility.
Telegraphic communication with State agents up to three o’clock
this afternoon shows that the recent frosts have damaged corp north of
the 40th parallel. The Ohio agent places the injury in that State at 20
per cent. The Indiana agent estimates the loss at 10 to 29 iu the
northern section and 5 in the middle belt. The loss is heavy iu Wis¬
consin and Minnesota. There is also some injury in New York and
Pennsylvania. While the damage cannot yet.be clearly determined, it
is certain that frosts have already reduced the general average below
80, though much of the heaviest corn of the West is beyond serious

ago,
despite disquieting reports about some of the still ungathered
crops. The tone of the cotton goods market has improved, and
values of nearly all other fabrics of domestic and
foreign manu¬

Domestic Cotton Goods.—The
exports of cotton goods for
the week wrere 1,267
packages, including 410 to Argentine Re¬
public, 176 to Venezuela, 155 to Great Britain, 142 to Central
America, 85 to Hamburg, etc. There was a steady demand at
first hands for small parcels of
plain and colored cottons, re¬

TRADE.
Friday, P. M., Sept. 14, 18S3.
during the past week a continuation of tlie
activity lately noticed in all departments of the jobbing trade
and the volume of business in this connection was
large and
satisfactory. The demand at first hands was only moderate as
regards transactions with buyers on the spot, but liberal
re-orders were received through the medium of
traveling sales'
men and direct from jobbers in the
interior, accompanied by
cheering reports in regard to the progress of the fall trade
Altogether the trade movement has fully realized expectations,
and there is certainly a much better and more
confident feeling

Spring worsteds were in steady demand
for future delivery, and some fair orders were
placed for light¬
weight cassimeres, in which both all-wool and
eotton-warp
goods participated. Cloakings and repellents wherein moderate
request at first hands, as were Kentucky jeans and
satinets,
and such fabrics were fairly active with
jobbers. Jersey cloths
continued in steady demand, but less active than a short time
ago.
Flannels and blankets met with a moderate
degree of
attention, and a fairly good business was done in soft wool
dress goods, and sackings,
cashmeres, fancy worsteds, &c.,
while carpets were active in
jobbers’ hands.
Foreion Dry Goods have been more active with
jobbers than
importers, yet the latter have experienced a very fair demand
for a few specialties.
Velvets, plushes and velveteens were in
pretty good demand, but silks were a trifle slow. Fine dress
fabrics, both plain and fancy, were more sought after, and the
lower grades were fairly active. Some considerable orders
for
light-weight clothing woolens and cloakings were placed with
importers for future delivery. Linen goods/iaces, embroideries
and hosiery were in
steady, though moderate, request.

Print cloths were more active and
higher, closing at 3 9-16c. for
64x64 “ spots ’ and 3>£c. for 56x60s.
Prints on the spot were
quiet in first hands, but very good orders were received
through traveling salesmen, and the jobbing trade was quite
active. The production of both cotton
goods and printed
calicoes has of necessity been
materially curtailed, because of
the scarcity of water in the
manufacturing districts of New
England. Many of the large mills at Manchester and Nashua
are running on
only half time for this reason, and it is stated
