It is not, therefore, mainly as a temporary W all Street
influence that the condition of the corn-crop interests the
country. Harm to it affects either directly or indirectly
every industry, and hence not only these frost rumors
but also the September report of the Agricultural Department issued this week, have attracted more, than usual
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 five years with the
figures of acreage and production during the same time.
W e only give the conditions for the W estern States*

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
portant in fact that highly colored exaggerations were for
two or three days quite prevalent at the principal breadstuff centres and on W all Street.
W e do not suppose that just now stocks are to be
vitalized even by a large corn crop. It was said that the
boom would strike the market when wheat was assured; then
it was deferred until it was harvested; next until the begin
ning of a large movement of produce over the railroads ;
after that its date was made concurrent with the arrival of
gold from abroad. One after another these expectations
have been realized, this week even the gold having begun
to come in, but instead of any active revival in speculation it
seems to be once more put off and now until corn is in the
granaries ; after that event -is reached, unless other conditions shall have improved, it is not unlikely that there
will be still further postponements.

Here it will be noticed 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 1880. In fact, these Western
States taken together (if we omit Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, which are very small corn prodücers, 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 1880 or 1882.
The figures of acreage for the same five years were as

latest advices show th at the early reports were gross
exaggerations. The greatest damage was in Michigan
and Wisconsin, where, as we have seen, the acreage is
v ery small. In Northern Illinois and Indiana harm was
also done, but the section affected raises only a,small
■portion of the crop of those States ; on the average prob
ably not over 20 per cent of the production of that•section was* injured. Mr. Dodge, of th e A gricultural
Department, is reported to have said that the total loss to
th e corn crop of the. U nited States from this cause does
n ot exceed 5 per cent. A ltogether, then, the fair infer
ence seems to be that the public can still believe tbe
country has raised a very abundant corn crop.
A nother event of the week, the importance of which,
however, will wholly depend upon the vigor with which
th e scheme is executed, is the adoption by the Railroad
Commissioners of this State of the proposed resolution
we have on previous occasions commented upon, requiring
quarterly reports under oath from all railroads, &c., of
th eir earnings and expenses. One provision of the
resolution is particularly wholesome, and that is the
requirem ent th at the figures when ready be imme

where tne office of the company is situated. This feature

"Western States, which- exacted monthly reports, but
never gave them out, even refusing to make or to allow
to be made a copy of them. And still W a ll Street seemed
to have the figures pretty regularly for a tim e; but now
we do not hear of them and presume the reports have
been discontinued. So will these shortly unless one of the
Commissioners makes it his business to see that they are
published. In case the excuse is offered that all the figures,
cannot be got in soon enough, it would be desirable to have
an estimated statement issued by the company, to be fol

The change in the Bank of E ngland rate has been fol
lowed here by a reduction in the nominal price for sight
sterling. Our exchange market, however, is now quoted
dull but firm; the latter being due to a scarcity of com
mercial bills and a good demand for rem ittance for securi
ties, chiefly United States called bonds. I t is possible that
these remittances for called bonds will put up the rate before
it goes any lower, as it is said there are several millions of
them still held abroad, while the amount being re-invested
in stocks is very small, so that nearly the whole has to be
provided for. A fte r these bonds are surrendered, v ery
few Am erican securities can be picked up in the London,
market, and the demand here for exchange to rem it for
securities will be light.
On the other hand, while it
is reported on W all Street that there is a liberal inquiry
for our stocks on European account, those in a position
to be well informed assert that it is not so. I t is pretty
evident, therefore, th at the exchange m arket will have to
rely upon commercial bills drawn against breadstuffs
and cotton, and the volume of these will be governed not
only by foreign requirements of the staples but by the
price at which they are offered. If speculators succeed
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

A s already indicated, the Stock m arket still fails to
respond, notwithstanding the favorable influences which
are in operation. I t is easier for it to decline on false
reports of harm to corn, than it is to recover on their
denial, although in the meantime earnings are increasing,
the Bank of England rate of interest goes down, gold
arrives, and trad e improves. There seem to be, however,
im portant movements in progress effecting changes in
ownership and in the relations of railroad properties. F o r
a long tim e it has been apparent that the South was a ttra ct
ing increasing attention on the part of railroad capitalists.
R ecently, though, some tangible evidence to this effect
has appeared. This week the Richmond & Danville meetin g was held, and the “ Seney party ” further strengthened
its hold on the property, while at the same time upsetting the proposition to increase the company’s stock ;
m erchants of Norfolk met together it is said for the
purpose of subscribing the money necessary to bring
the Richmond & Danville system of roads into that city ;
and Mr. Baldwin of the Louisville & Nashville was admitted
into the directory of the W estern Union, in return for
which, rum or has it, Messrs. Ja y 'G o u ld and Russell
Sage are to go into Louisville & Nashville at the meeting
in October. There have been reports that the. latter
circum stance presages a settlem ent of the embarrassing
suits against W estern Union, in which certain gentlemen
in the Louisville & Nashville board are known to be
interested, and possibly that is s o t h e r e are those,
however, who believe th at this is m erely an incident,
important, without doubt, to Mr. Gould, but of minor
significance compared with the larger object in view,
which is as yet much involved in m ystery. Those who
are of this mind affirm that M r. Gould is sure, not only
of a seat in the Louisville board, but of the actual
control of the property, and th a t the purchase also in
volves the control of the G eorgia Central, and, of course,
of the G eorgia Railroad, which is jointly leased bv the
two.
W h a t truth there is in all this, time only will develop.
B u t in the same Connection there are whisperings of a
move against the E a st Tennessee.
M r. Gould really
wanted the E ast Tennessee, we are told. H e must have
an outlet to the A tlan tic Coast, and the Louisville &
Nashville and Georgia Central are to supply it. A n y one
who knows anything about the location of these roads
will readily see how preposterous th at story is. The
Louisville & Nashville connects with the Southwestern
systefn at Memphis, and to utilize the road for any such
purpose as th at Mr. Gould would have to ca rry freight
first up north to Nashville, and then down south to the
coast, a most circuitous route, all the more objectionable
th at the particular ports to be reached thereby have no
especial value. Still, it is maintained that the outcome of
last spring’s negotiations with the E a s t Tennessee people
were so unsatisfactory to M r. Gould, that he insists upon
punishing the refractory Seneys.
U nsatisfactory in what
respect ? To be sure, the Gould party and the Seney party
appear at present to be pursuing independent paths, but
m ay they not have a common aim and understanding ?
Or is it not possible that they are working towards one
with its ally, the Shenandoah Valley. The Norfolk &.
Western would be valuable and desirable for many
reasons. The Seneys apparently are taking no interest
in the property, but neither _did they seem to be in theMemphis & Charleston. Y e t when control of the latter
road was finally obtained, President Thomas admitted
that they had been quietly “ picking up the stock in thestreet for some time past. The same policy is not im
possible with Norfolk & Western, and the possession o f
an opposition line to that road in the Richmond & Danville*
serves as a useful feint to that end. On the other hand, Mr.
Gould s part of the compact might be to secure possession o f
the Louisville & Nashville and the Georgia Central, and
possibly another system. That accomplished, the two syndi
cates could unite forces, making a combination controlling:
the entire railroad system of the South. It would embrace the Louisville & Nashville, the Nashville Chatta
nooga & St. Louis, the Georgia, the Georgia Central, theEast Tennessee, the Memphis & Charleston, the Richmond
& Danville, the Norfolk & Western, and the Shenandoah
Valley. Only two systems of any consequence would
remain outside— the Chesapeake & Ohio, running east
and west, and the Erlanger roads, running north and*
south. Certain it is that the South is the great railroad
chess-board at present.

condition of the market is shown by the followingr

A LE SS FA V O R A BLE TRA D E STATEM EN T.
The belated return of our foreign trade for the month
of July, issued this week by the Bureau of Statistics, does
not accord with expectations. To be sure, the excess of
imports is much smaller than in June, but it was not
thought there would be any such excess. Besides, though
the balance against us is also smaller than it was in the
corresponding period a year ago— in July, 1883, the excess
of imports was $ 4 ,4 6 6 ,5 8 9 , while in July, 1882, it was
$ 1 1 ,1 8 7 ,3 3 7 — the exhibit is disappointing in that the re
duction was effected entirely through a diminution in the
volume of imports, exports indeed being over 2 millions
smaller than in July, 1882, when they were 8£ millions
below 1881 and 16,| millions below 1880. . The following
will show the export and import movement at each of the
Im p o rts.

The smaller volume of imports is of course an en
couraging feature. The total for Ju ly is $ 5 6 ,8 6 0 ,6 8 3 ,
against $ 6 5 ,8 0 4 ,8 7 8 in Ju ly , 1882, a falling off of almost
nine millions. There is also a large falling off as compared
with the month im mediately preceding, when the total
reached $ 6 4 ,7 9 1 ,4 2 2 , and this confirms our rem ark made
when the figures were first published that the latter total
was merely the result of the changes in the tariff law*
The present movement appears to be more nearly in accord
with the existing condition of trade, and as, with the e x
ception of that for June, the totals have now shown a large
decrease for six months past, there would seem reason for
believing that we are gradually settling down to that basis
of lower imports which many believed inevitable long ago.
In this connection it m ay interesting to refer to some of
the recent changes in the totals of the stock's of goods
remaining in the warehouses. "With the passage of the
new tariff, and the abolition of duties on some articles and
the reduction on others, there was an increase of goods in
bond awaiting the operation of these provisions of the new
law. To show how pronounced this tendency was, we need
only say that while on the 1st of December last year the
value of the goods in the warehouses was a little less than 28
millions, on the 1st of June, 1883, the value was over 50
millions. Home parts of the law went into operation on
the latter day, so that a small reduction from the highest
total was noted in the succeeding statement, but as most
of the provisions did not take effect until the 1st of Ju ly,
it was not until after that date that stocks began to decline
m aterially; in the 30 days following they were reduced to
$ 3 9 ,9 8 7 ,3 0 5 . A s the total now stands it is not materially
different from that of A ugust 1, 1882, or 1881. On the
latter day it was $ 3 9 ,2 8 5 ,7 4 0 , and on A ugust 1, 1882, it
was $ 3 8 ,2 9 5 ,7 7 7 . In the summer months stocks in bond
are usually largest, merchants being engaged in preparing
for the fall trade; consequently up to about the 1st of
December it is probable th at the withdrawals will continue
to be in excess of the entries. The following table will
show the fluctuations in this particular for a year past.

A s to the exports, the smaller total is due altogether to
the great falling off in the breadstuffs movement. L a st Ju ly
this movement reached 16^ millions, while in the present
year it ar&ounted to only about 10 millions, and would have
been materially less except for a large increase in the corn
shipments— to such small proportions were the wheat
exports reduced. The provisions shipments; on the other
hand, show an increase of nearly 4 million dollars, which
s a very encouraging fact, for, considering the state of.

-prices and probable supplies, there would appear to be a
strong probability that th is . gain will continue for some
time to come. A t any*rate, larger provisions exports in
the present fiscal year can be very confidently depended
upon. In the cotton shipments there was some falling off in
quantity in July, and probably a still larger falling off in
value, as prices were from 2 to 3 cents lower. In petro
leum, the m onth’s exports record a decrease of about a
million dollars. The following table exhibits the breadstuffs and provisions exports from each port.

Railroad earnings for August show batter results than
for July, and considering the unsatisfactory state of gene
ral business, make a pretty favorable exhibit. The ratio
of increase is not very large— only about 8 per cent__but thó
gains are so well distributed that out of seventy-one roads

falling off from a year ago. It should be remembered,
too,
that the increase is continuous, August having for

As we remarked in reviewing the June statement, the
provisions figures give evidence that in those articles we
have passed the low est. point, and henceforth may expect
an improvement in the totals. In June there were ons or
two articles that still lagged behind, but in July every
single item, either of provisions or dairy products, shows
an increase, which in many ‘cases is very marked indeed.
This will appear from the following table, furnishing details.

[VOL. XXXVII»
Northwestern roads again lead all others in amount of ferent—•by reason of the large stocks carried over from
the previous crop, and the reduced yield in the very States
that in 1882 furnished the bulk of-supplies— it would seem
that it must be in this particular that the falling off in •
receipts occurred. In confirmation of 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 &
T erre Haute, all of which last year gained through the
extraordinary movement of winter wheat then in pro
gress. The P eoria Decatur & Evansville, in m uch the
same territory, has a small increase this year, but the road
lost $ 1 0 ,5 0 0 in 1882, and, besides, Peoria does not, as the
¿n 1882 with its heavy increase, but the falling off in the above table will show, get much wheat— the augmentation
im m igration movem ent and the competition of the Cana in its grain movement was rather in corn and oats.
A word as to the receipts of wheat at S t. Louis and
-dian Pacific readily account for that.

■only $ 7 3 ,0 0 2 in 1881, a gain of over 90 per cent in two it will be remembered, were very small indeed, and one of
years, during which time mileage has been increased only the main causes for this was the backwardness of the crop,

•only $ 1 0 3 ,5 4 2 in August, 1882, and the St. Paul gains

"Paul & Omaha gains $ 5 7 ,6 8 2 , after having gained
$ 4 5 ,8 2 1 a year ago. The St. Paul Minneapolis & Mani

will attract attention. The m ovem ent is double that of last
year, though still one-third less than in 1881. I t is to
■Chicago chiefly that Northwestern roads carry. Y e t it 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 m ight
«h are to an extent in the movement from Iowa, but it is more
probable that roads like the Burlington & Quincy and the
R ock Island would, from their position, secure the bulk of
it. B u t if Northwestern roads were not much affected
from this cause, neither were they, it is likely, affected
by the decrease in wheat which is shown at Chicago.
C hicago last year, it will be remembered, for a time
sprang into prominence as a m arket for winter wheat,
though ordinarily it figures mainly as a centre for
sp rin g wheat. The winter wheat came from points
in Illinois and other tributary States, some from as
far south as Tennessee, where the crop was excel
l e n t . A s this year the conditions were materially dif.
guide for the future.
The W abash, having a line to Toledo, probably received
some benefit from the heavier movement of wheat at th at
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 $ 2 2 9 ,7 0 6 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, farm ers have been freely sending
their produce to market, all appear to be doing well.
F o r instance, the Chicago & A lton has earnings of
$ 8 6 1 ,1 6 9 this year, against $ 8 5 6 ,3 9 8 in 1882, and only
$ 7 6 9 ,7 5 1 in 1881. The Hannibal & St. Joseph has a small
increase on earnings of last year over $ 5 0 ,0 0 0 above
those of August, 1881. In the St. Louis A lton & T erre
Haute we have a line running east from St. Louis, and
that does not make a favorable showing, though to its full
extent, it should be said, the decrease m erely offsets the
gain of a year ago. B u t 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 $ 1 2 ,0 0 0 of the $ 9 5 ,0 0 0 added to receipts
in August, 1882, but the roads in the Gould system m ake
continuous gains, which in many cases are noteworthy. Thus
the Missouri Pacific has further swelled its earnings this
vear $ 4 4 ,0 0 0 , after having gained over $ 2 4 9 ,0 0 0 in 1 8 8 2 ;
the Missouri Kansas & T exas adds $ 8 5 ,0 0 0 to its gain of

gained $ 1 6 7 ,7 1 8 in August, 1882. This is an increase
o f over 40 per cent, during which time mileage has risen
2 2 6 miles, or about 12 per cent. The E a st Tennessee
gains $ 5 2 ,0 0 0 in addition to 'th e $ 3 5 ,0 0 0 gained
in 1882. Its mileage has increased 200 miles, to 1,100.
The Memphis & Charleston lost about $ 1 0 ,8 0 0 in 1882
but gains double th at amount this year. The Mobile &
Ohio has a gain this year not quite equal to its loss of a
y ear ago. The Norfolk & W estern, like its connecting
line, the E ast Tennessee, records continuous gains, as do
also the Richmond & Danville lines in quite a marked
degree. The Cincinnati Southern and A labam a Great
Southern likewise keep climbing upward.- The cotton
movement is not much of an influence in August, but to
show the receipts of the staple at the leading Southern
ports we give below our usual table. Galveston and New
Orleans exhibit, comparatively speaking, quite an increase
over 1882, and the gain at the latter point explains in
great .measure the improvement in the earnings of the
Southern line of the Illinois Central. There is a small
loss at Norfolk, but, as we have already seen, the roads
running to th at point record large gains in earnings
despite that fact.

The Pacific roads make fairly good exhibits.
The
N orthern Pacific, of course, with the heavy additions to
its mileage, keeps enlarging its earnings. The Central
Pacific reports a decrease of $ 6 8 ,0 0 0 , but it should be
remembered that last A ugust it gained $ 2 6 2 ,0 0 0 . 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 $ 7 0 0 ,0 0 0 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
A tchison Topeka & Santa F e figures have not yet come
to hand, but it is reported that the earnings are about the
same as in August, 1882.
year ago, so that its receipts are still much better than in.
1 8 8 1 . The Union Pacific, on the other hand, is now close
on to the total of 1882, which was pretty nearly $ 4 0 0 ,0 0 0
above that of 1881. The decrease on such roads as the
Illinois Central main line, the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
the Evansville & Terre Haute, the Cincinnati Indianapolis
St. Louis & Chicago, the Peoria Decatur & Evansville, and
the Alton & Terre Haute, is probably traceable almost
entirely to a smaller supply of grain traffic, either of wheat
or of corn, or of both. The falling o f t on the Marquette
Houghton & Ontonagon road reflects the depression in the
mining industry in the northern peninsula of Michigan.
As to this road, it is to be said, that August showed somesigns of improvement in the mining business, and that the
company’s earnings for that month are consequently the
largest ever made in that period of the year. The follow
ing is our usual table, giving earnings of each individual
road, for the eight months this year and last.

Covered by expenses, so that the net this year are $ 2 3 0 ,924 greater than in Ju ly, 1882.
Still it is not to be
forgotten that the loss last year, on 1881, was $ 3 4 1 ,0 0 0 .
F o r the seven months net are now $ 5 0 8 ,5 7 8 above the
corresponding period of 1882, while the total last year

are comprised in our list, and these all render a satisfactory

THE CHRONICLE.
286
The French Minister of 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. . The
average prices realized in each week since September 1, 1879,
were as follows :

Fresh meat is now arriving in considerable quantities from
Russia. On Thursday afternoon about 1,600 quarters of beef
were received from that country and landed at St. Katharine’s
docks. The meat has been forwarded by the Russian produce
company, who have now landed their seventh cargo of beef.
The price obtained in the Metropolitan Meat Market has aver
aged 5}£d. per pound, and this, it is understood, yields a profit.
The idea of the company is to utilize the port of Libau in the
Baltic, which is not closed to navigation even -in the severest
winters.
St. Petersburg advices also refer to the fact that large ship
ments have again been made, especially to the continent. To
London direct they were last week of wheat 48,683 chetwerts ;
'to direct United Kingdom ports, 28,918; do. for orders, 47,149 .
to the Continent, 87,462; and by sail for orders, 2,388 chetwerts.’
As regards oats, the totals to London direct 56,303 chetwerts ;
to direct United Kingdom ports, 1,135, and to the Continent
46,709 chetwerts.
We have had another week of remarkably fine weather, and
rapid progress has again been made with harvest work. In the
southern counties the harvesting of cereals has been completed,
4pd fair quantities of grain are now arriving at market. The
quality is excellent, ana the condition of the produce very satis
factory. , The trade is very low, and although the quality and
condition of the crops are much superior to last year’s, prices
are much lower than they were twelve months ago. In fact,
fine white wheat weighing 65 and 66 lbs. per bushel is only
worth 45s. to 46s. per quarter and red 42s. to_44s. per quarter.
Liberal supplies are coming forward from Russia and the United
States ; but although the Continent is absorbing a large quan
tity, millers are able to purchase on easier terms. It is believed
that in a few weeks the trade will here present a more settled
appearance, but there seems to be no prospect of higher prices.
The agricultural papers have arrived at the following results
regarding the harvest:

The reduction in the Bank of England rate of discount
from 4 per cent to 3% 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 contmued ease m money
there. The Bank rate was advanced to 4 per cent on the 10th
of Mav and since that time the coin and bullion in the Bank
has increased nearly £3,700,000. The gam of. the Bank m the
last week was £140,000.
The Bank of France in the same time showed a loss ot
2,575,000 francs in gold and 4,475,000 francs in silver. Advices
have been received by New Y o rk bankers of th6 siiipinGiiiJ
C^There has been no business of any consequence in State
bonds during the week.
Railroad and Miscellaneous S t o c k s . — 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
2-ood deal, while those of many roads m other parts of the
country show but little decline. The most significant declines
in this connection have been Michigan Central, 4% per c e n t;
Northwestern preferred, 3 X ; Union Pacific, SM ; N o r t o n
-pacific “preferred, 33^ ; Northern Pacific common,
; Omaha
common 1%, and the preferred 1; Canada Southern 1%; Northw Stern cáSm on, l j f ; Lake Shore, 1 « ; St Paul preferred,
11/ - Denver 1%. All other declines than these were mostly
fractional. The only prominent stock which shows an
advance-for tne week is Western Union, % ,

R ailroad E arnings and R eports —The article upon railroad
earnings, together with the tables presenting the figures for
August and for- eight months of the year, will be found to-day
in the editorial department of the Chronicle. The general
interest in these reports of earnings rather increases than
diminishes, as the dealers in stocks and bonds endeavor more
and more to get hold of matters of fact bearing upon the value
of the different railroad properties, as distinguished from the
endless rumors which are circulated in the market for the
purpose of influencing prices.
•
A step in the right direction has ju st 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 :

, ,, 6 11! eaf ln* s an^ operating expenses is so loosely
defined, that railroad officers find it easy to consider, almost
fnterh« tg as expenses proper enough to take precedence of the
interest on »com e bonds. 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 6a
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.

and let the obligations of railroads be brought down to the

mortgage bonds with a specific lien on the property.

I ncome B onds.— The income bond is generally a delusion.
It seldom pays any income, and is a thing made only to sell.
There is a pleasant sound about its name that is attractive to
lambs, and this helps the original maker to got it oujfc of his
hands- -but afterwards therd is little hope. Out of some fifty
differentt 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 it
ith 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

Louis-—A P^ss dispatch from
ISashville, Tenn., September 12, gives the following : “ The
board of directors ot the Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis
Railway met to-day, adopted the annual report of the President
and directors, and declared a dividend of 2 per cent, payable
on October 1 The report gives a detailed statement of the
expenses and earnings of the main line and branches and the
cost of extending several important branches. Luring the past
nscal year the revenue derived from passengers was $621.170
an increase of $40,611, 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
hme were $1,513,875, an increase of $149,808. The total bonded
indebtedness at the close of the fiscal year was $8,757,000. The
road operates 554 miles, at 55 8-10 per cent of the gross receipts,
lh e increase in earnings has been attained partially by the
encouragement of thè location of blast furnaces and mills and
lactones 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 Gr. Porter, J. H. Inman, V. K. Stevenson, J. W ,
ihornas, G- A. Washington, Thomas C. Whiteside, Gr. M. Fogg.
J. W. Childress, Thomas Lipscomb. T. W. Evans, M. H. Smith,
j.* L. Jordan, J. T. Rhea, Henry Earl and A. S. Colyar. The
directors met and re-elected the old officers.”
-—The following official statement of earnings and income is
made for the month of August and for the fiscal year from
July 1 to August 31 :

New York Lake Erie & W estern.—This company h asju st
issued its statement of earnings for May and for seven m<>nt .
of its fiscal year. Now that the accounts with the leased lines
have been got in shape, it is to be hoped that the statemen
f ^ ejunee angd J ^ y wilf speedily follow. Thefigure^.for May
1883, include the total working expenses of the New York
Pennsylvania & Ohio, and in the.gross earnings 68 per cent oi
its receipts. since 32 per cent is paid as rental. Hence the
figures for net earnings compare properly in ®ac£ / eart£“
show the amount belonging to the Erie Company. The state
ment is as follows:
will furnish a growing local business. It connects with various
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 rea w
magnificent terminal facilities, a point not less important to t
City of New York than to the company. -These are quite
unequaled by any road coming into the city, and may be saiu
to excel those of all the others combined. They are the key to
the situation.”
Northern Pacific.—The track on the main line was com
pleted by the driving of the last spike on Sept. 8, m th e
presence of the large assemblage of distinguished guests. Ik e
enterprise has been one of the first magnitude, and the finan
ciering for the company in the past three years has been even
brilliant in its character. Mr. Villard, the President of the
company, said in his speech at the opening :
“ Our w ork m eans th e conqu est of new fields fo r general com m erce

orepared 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 largelyone 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 th *
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

D o m e s t ic .C o t t o n G o o d s . — The exports of cotton goods for
the week were 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 ar steady demand at
first hands for small parcels of plain and colored cottons, re
sulting in a fair aggregate business, and a liberal distribution
of seasonable fabrics of all kinds was made by jobbers in
package and assorted lots. Prices ruled firmer along the whole
line, and* some makes of low grade bleached goods, print
cloths, shirtings, stripes and cheviots were slightly advanced*
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
that the Merrimac River has never been so low before since.
Lowell organized her water power company in 1822.
D o m e s t ic W o o l e n G o o d s .— The wholesale clothing trade has
been very active the past week, and there was consequently a
fair demand at first hands for duplicate lots of heavy cassimeres* suitings, &c. 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 cotton-warp
goods participated. Cloakings and repellents were in 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, cashmeTes, fancy worsteds, &c.,
while carpets were active in jobbers’ hands.
F o r e i g n D r y G o o d s 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 m
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 tor
light-weight clothing woolens and cloakings were placed with
importers for future delivery.1 Linen goods, laces, embroideries
and hosiery were in steady, though moderate, request.

F riday, P . M ., Sept. 14, 1 883.
There has beefi during the past week a continuation of the
•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
Tegards 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
