♦

In this connection it

is well to remember that notwith¬

standing the accumulation in the Treasury of legal-tenders,
active currency is now all the time
increasing. For
instance, according to the above table, the legal-tender fund
in the Treasury increased from
July 1 to Sept. 1 $1,348,375,.
but during the * same time the national bank
currency
outstanding increased $1,800,000, and the Comptroller ex-3
presses the opinion that “ national bank currency will
steadily increase for some months.” Furthermore during
these two months the
outstanding silver certificates had
increased about 3 million dollars, and are now
being
added to rapidly
every week.
We thus see that the
amount of the active circulation is
really larger than it
was at the
beginning of Bummer, and is now growing
rapidly, so that there is no excuse for the call upon
the Treasury to find some
way for disbursing these ac-‘
cumulated legal tenders.

reported ; the old Reagan bill has been up in Congress ;
the railroad-regulation bill has been fought over at
Albany, and how much progress * has been made ?

is the crowning value of the canal system, and is alone
•enough to justify its maintenance and development. It is
perhaps to the growing jealousy of railroad power, and to
the gradual recognition of the fact that it will never do to
allow this natural regulator to fall into decay, that the
present policy in favor of the canals may be ascribed.
Nothing can be a plainer lesson of experience than
that statutory regulation

It is urged, and by many is expected,

Has government the

goes further- than to enact an ineffectual law is certainly
questionable. It is, as we have more than once pointed
out, one of the most mischievous of popular delusions in
this country that the efficacy of government, either to con¬

people imagine it needful only to speak the phrase “be it
enacted,” and the particular trouble at hand is cured. At
least, federal intervention should be the last resort; and

Many members of the Stock Exchange and
taken this opportunity of making
their holiday tour, as they are very uncertain how to act when
the struggle in Egypt may ultimately lead to serious resulfa,
A large body of British troops has now arrived in Egypt, and
there is a very general belief that it is very skilfully handled
by Sir Garnet Wolseley. A protracted struggle seems scarcely
possible, especially after the events of the last two days; and
it is very probable that when the main forces of each side
come into collision a decisive blow will be struck
which will
indicate the coming of the end. Some very important ques¬
tions will then arise, but the Prime Minister has said that it
is difficult, or rather impossible, to discuss about the unforeseen,
and we must await therefore the natural development of
events. The country has, however, a decidedly strong opinion
on the question, and the Government will be well supported if
it is determined to settle the matter in such a manner that a
repetition of recent events is made impossible.
No important movements are reported in bullion; but the
money market is very firm, and the rates of discount are
not much below those current at the Bank of Eagland, the
quotation for three months’ Bank bills being 3% to 37/s per
cent.
Any return to easier rates of discount seems scarcely
possible. The supply of floating capital is not extensive, and
the trade demand seems likely to improve as the season
advances. The reserve of the Bank of Eagland is only £11,000,000, which is nearly £2,000,000 less than at this period last
year, while the stock of bullion, which at this date in 1881 was
£23,752,000, is now £21,814,050. The proportion of reserve to
liabilities is only 3S% per cent, against 41% per cent last year.
The position of the Bank is not, therefore, a strong one, and
there seems to be much probability of higher rates of discount.
Should there be a speedy termination to the troubles in Egypt,
and should there be no subsequent diplomatic trouble between
the Ewopean Courts on the question of a judicious settlement,
an impetus would be given to business, and a good deal of capi¬
tal would ultimately be forwarded to Egypt for remunerative
employment. We are also anticipating an improved home

The agricultural returns, or rather a
summary of them, have
been issued within the last few days, and they show that on the
4th of Jane last the extent of land under wheat was

3,003,915
against 2,805,809 acres last year. Assuming that the
«rop is an average one, say 3% quarters to the acre, the total
production should amount to about 10,500,000 quarters. There is

pleted, unsettled weather having caused much delay.
Daring the week ended August 19 the sales of home-grown
produce in the 150 principal markets of England and Wales
amounted to only 8,998 quarters, against
12,934 quarters last

and 11,844 quarters in 1880; while it is estimated that
in the whole kingdom 36,000 quarters, against 51,750
quarters and 47,400 quarters. Since harvest—a period which
now embraces 52
weeks, and therefore the agricultural season
—the sales in the 150
principal markets have been 1,827,537
quarters, against 1,715,927 quarters and 1,405,646 quarters,
the estimate for the whole kingdom
being 7,301,150 quarters,
against 6,508,000 quarters in the corresponding period of last
season and 5,648,000
quarters in 1879-80. Without reckoning
the supplies of produce furnished
ex-granary at the com¬
mencement of the season, it is estimated that the
following
quantities of wheat and flour have been placed upon the
British markets during the 52 weeks. The visible

The harvest, which was
last week, has been much

making very satisfactory progress
impeded during the last few days by
heavy storms of wind and rain. In some parts of the country
work has been
completely interrupted, and the farmers are now
having an anxious time of it. The small quantity of wheat
which has, up to the
present time, arrived at market, has, on
the whole, given
satisfaction, but the circumstances under which
it was cut and
carried were decidedly favorable. The
weight
is 62 to 64
lbs. per bushel for the better qualities. It cannot
be said that the
rains, which have fallen so heavily this week,
have done serious
injury, but they have by no means improved

Business remains

extremely quiet, and very little activity is

ap¬

far as Ire¬
land and Egyptare concerned, exercise an adverse influence, and
speculators are still undesirous of entering into transactions of
any magnitude. Many members of the Stock Exchange, as
well as of the commercial and financial world, observing that
there is no prospect of any immediate activity, are prolonging
their holiday tours, and speculation is therefore greatly
ia
abeyance. There is, however, an impression that the Egyptian
war will not be of
long duration; but at the same time thera
are anxieties with regard to ultimate results, and it is
very evi¬
dent that much circumspection is necessary. As far as tha
Stock Exchange is concerned, it is very evident that

as favorable to a continuance of
healthy markets. The more
general disposition, both commercially and financially, is to
operate with caution. This week’s Bank return shows a slight
improvement in the relative position, but the change is by no
means important.

invested to “the best advantage.”
Mr. Dillon, the President,
said of this loan that the purpose of it is
simply to provide for
the payment of construction in
extending different branches of
the main line.
In extending these branches, the company
built last year nearly 300 miles of new roads, and this
year will
build about 150 miles.
It has paid for these extensions ont of
its surplus earnings and at the same time it holds in its

treasury
large amount of bonds issued on the portions previously built
“Many of these bonds bear seven per cent interest, but we could
get for them in the market probably not much more than par.
a

The

can
borrow money at five percent. The
last year incurred a debt on these extensions of aboat
$2,060,000, and the continued construction imposes a atill
greater obligation. We pledge bonds of the roads we are
extending and draw the money as we need it from time to time.
Probably the company will negotiate aboat $5,000,000 of the

than the collateral trust bonds, because holders of the new
bonds may hold them unci! maturity. According to the mort¬
gage, the difference in interest between the underlying and the
new bonds forms a
sinking fund which the trustee may invest
in the new bonds at 105 or less. If the bondholders do not
choose to sell at this price, the trustee, after six months, must

Money Market and Financial Situation.—With the
return of many business men from the country, and a toler¬
ably active market at the Stock and Produce Exchanges, there
begins to be more life in our markets, and affairs are assuming
a more interesting aspect.
The old method of speculation
seems to have been practised to a considerable extent this
season, namely, to sell wheat or corn and buy railroad stocks,
on the general principle that heavy crops make lower prices
for produce and at the same time increase railroad earnings;
and as a consequence we see prices falling at the Produce
Exchange and rising at the Stock Board. The principle may
be good; but all things in moderation; and in transactions of
this sort the price at which the operation is made and the time
the contract has to run have everything to do with the general
result. Only four short years ago and Chicago & Northwestern
sold in September, 1878, at 33%, and St. Paul at 27}
an(l the
improvement in the price of these stocks has come from no
radical change in the affairs of the companies, but simply
from the growth of traffic and the extension of their respective
aystems. Is it expected that a similar advance will be made
•in the next four years, and the stocks rise again to four or five
times their present.figures? Probably not, and then present
buying of stocks should be based rather on the capacity of
roads to earn an income, of greater or less per cent, on the
amount required to purchase the stocks at their current
figures.
The crops are reported to be very good, but taking cereals,
cotton, and all products that are sent to market for export
and not consumed at home, is there reason to expect a larger
yield than in the famous year 1880 ? If not, then we can
base calculations to

some

extent

on

the net results of business

in 1880-81, which were indeed excellent,

but which would be
slightly reduced in 1882-3 on the railroads by an increase in
operating expenses, and on the other hand increased by an
augmentation of their passenger and miscellaneous traffic.
The money market has been rather irregular, and rates have
varied materially on the same day, but the good effects of a
free money market are seen, and the highest price paid by
stock borrowers has not been over 7@8 per cent, and nearly
every day the rates have declined to 4 per cent; but a fair
quotation on call loans with ordinary stock collaterals is 5@7
per cent.
Government bond dealers now pay 4 per cent and*
money at that figure is getting scarcer; prime commercial
paper sells at 6@6}4 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a decrease of £61,000 in specie, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 39 3-16, against 39% last -week; the discount rate
was raised to 5 per cent, from 4 the previous rate.
The Bank
of France lost 3,475,000 francs gold and 950,000 francs silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement'
of Sept. 9 showed an increase of $1,726,250 in the deficiency of
reserve, there being a total deficiency of $1,882,275, against a
deficiency of $156,025 on Sept. 2.

Foreign Exchange.—The advance in the Bank of England
cent caused a hardening in the rate for short bills
here, while 60-days bills have been weak, and rates were marked
down to-day % percent by leading bankers. On actual sales the
prices to-day were about 4 84 for prime 60 days bankers’ ster¬
ling and 4 88% for demand, with cable transfers 4 90. The
actual rates for Continental bills are as follows: Francs, 520%
@5 20 and 5 16)4; marks, 94% (a 9-1% and 95%@95%, and guild¬
rate to 5 per

40 and 40%
Quotations for foreign exchange are as follows, the highest

ers

prices being the posted rates of leading bankers:

State and Railroad Bonds.—In State bonds there have
few transactions, and even in the'Tennessees, which

been very

usually show more or less business, there were hardly sales
enough to make a close price. To-day the quotations were 3336 for Ark. 6s funded, 7%-8 for N. Carolina special tax, 54^55% for Tenn. 6s, 62%-G3 for compromise bonds and 12%-14
for Virginia deferred.
Railroad bonds have been active and strong, and it is plain
that a first-rate 5 per cent bond easily commands par in this
market, when money is fairly easy and there is nothing to
interfere with the ordinary demand for investments. This
sets the standard for other bonds at 6 and 7 per cent, and when
they do not sell much above par there is some reason for it,
either in the facts relating to the bond, or in the fancy of th«
investors.
Thus take two bonds, for example, well known at
the Board—Chic. & East. Ill. first mort. 6s, due 1907, quoted
99-99, and Richmond & Danville consol 6s, 1919, sold every day
at 100 or thereabouts ; what keeps these prices down ? In the
first instance, probably the litigation in regard to the old Chic.
Danville & Vincennes; in the second instance, perhapsth«

speculative attitude of the R. & D. Company.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—In the stock market
tliis week, and the gen¬

there has been much vigorous buying
eral tone has been strong.
Brokers

and stock operators are
returning from their vacations to find everything looking
healthy in the stock situation, with the prospect of a large
tonnage on the railroads during the next twelve months and
here and there a water-melon opening every few weeks, so
that there really appears on the surface to be no location for a

declared of 11 1-10 per cent on the preferred stock to be issued
in January, 1883, and the Northwest melon yet ripens in tho
autumn sun, while the voice from Manitoba reports such heavy
earnings on the St. P. M. & M. as to make the director’s mouth
water.
In Philadelphia the Lehigh Valley has increased its
quarterly dividend to 2 per cent, and this with the advance in
Reading and Northern Pacific has given a very cheerful tone in
the Quaker City. The coal stocks have gradually become much
stronger as a class, and this may help the two roads yet in ths
hands of receivers to place their finances in a better condition,
so that they may soon get back to the control of their owners,
To-day the St. Paul stock sold ex-dividend of 10 per cent in
stock and privilege of subscribing to 10 per cent new stock at
par.

It is reported that Oregon Transcontinental will soon

declare a 2 per cent dividend, partly as a consequence of the
distribution on Northern Pacific preferred. Western Union
has been strong on the quarterly statement, and the position of
the corporation as a monopoly in the United States for¬
bids any prediction as
to what profits the busine*

not be forced to yield. Nashville & Chattanooga has
passed the October dividend and falls into the same position as
Louisville & Nashville.
It is now announced, we presume on
Sept. 11,

Rio Grande division of the road, extending from Fort Worth
to El Paso, 616 miles, was
completed to a junction with the

holds in its treasury .$800,000 of the bonds of the Fayetteville &
Duck River branches, both of which will soon be completed.
Now York. Cily & Northern.—The Central Trust. Company
of New York has begun an action in the Supreme Court against
the New Yjrk City & Northern Railway Company, and Arthur
Leary and others, as trustees of the mortgage made by the
defendant railway companies, to foreclose a mortgage for
$4,000,000, executed May 1, 1880, by the New York City &
Northern Railway Company. This mortgage was executed as
a consolidated mortgage, in
place of mortgages previously
executed by the two defendant companies, and for both cf
which the New York City & Northern Railway Company is
responsible. The plaintiff is trustee of the $4,000,000 mort¬
gage. A few of the bonds, secured by a first mortgage made
by the New York City & Northern Railway Company, have not
been canceled.
Northern Pacific.—A few weeks ago the report was
thoroughly circulated that the Northern Pacific directors would
do nothing about declaring a dividend on the preferred stock
before October, and probably not this year. The stock then
declined quite heavily, and a large amount of it changed hands,
and now, Idept. 14, things apparently being ready, the dividend
of 11 1-10 per cent is declared. This is said to represent accu¬
mulated profits since 1875, and the Chronicle says of this scrip
dividend, as it has often said of others, that it is grossly anjust
to take the profits of 1875, 1876,1877, 1878, 1870. 1880, 1881 and
half of 1882, and pay them all over to stockholders of record at
some particular date in 1882.
In the case of no company has
this proceeding been m ire inequitable than with Northern
Pacific, as the preferred stock was issued to an immense number
of people of very moderate means in place of the 7-30 bonds
which they purchased under Mr Jay Cooke’s euthusiatic,
honest, but mistaken, representations. If A. B. was a stock¬
holder of record during the year 1880, and daring that year
the company spent, say, $500,000 of net earnings on construc¬
tion, &c., why should not A. B be entitled to his pro rata
share of that amount?
The fact is literally true that
the profits fairly and honestly belonging to many a poor
holder who sold out in the depression of 1877 and 1878 now go
into the pockets of gentlemen who count their securities by the
million. And this is the case with a corporation that owes its
present financial existence and solvency to a free gift made by
the people of the United States, for without the celebrated land
grant the Northern Pacific would have no basis on which to
command capital for its magnificent enterprise.
No official announcement of the terms has been made, but the
following account in the Tribune of Sept. 15 is quite full:
“The directors of the Northern Pa'-ific Railroad Company, at a

meeting yesterday, declared
cent

a

scrip dividend of 11 1-10

issued by the company has not yet been determined, but the

The above totals show that the old interior stocks have «ncreased during the week 3,458 bales, and are to-night 47,427
bales less than at the same period last year. The receipts at
the se.me towns have been 30,988 bales less than the same week
.ast year,
are

and since September 1 the receipts at all the towns

60,717 bales less than for the same time in 1831.

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 ontports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made np 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 th%

the month's weather

Wilson, N. C.—August has been a very wet mouth. Cotton has stood
the rains very -well, and with a late fall will make a good crop. The

is three weeks later than last

year.

1

Augusta, Oa.—Cotton is said to he in danger of rust in some localities
from excessive rainfall.
Jfurcon, (7a.—The rain has been mostly in showers, hut a great part of
the time the weather has been cloudy and sultry. There are some com¬
plaints of injiiTy from rust and other causes, but I can’t believe in any
serious damage being done. The weather now promises to be fair, which
is needed. Picking is progressing well, and without further disaster, I
look for a very good yield in tills section.
Forsyth. Oa.—The cotton crop promises to he fully an average one,
perhaps something more, unless some casualty should befall it. Up to
this time it has retained its fruit unusually we|l. Very little picking
has been done up to tho present time.
In this respect the season is at
least two weeks behind. Crops of every kind are good.
The year
a most abundant one—an excellent year.
Fla— Heavy rainfalls during the first week in August and

latter portion of the month.
Montgomery. Ala.— i lie frequency of rain and lack of sunshine during
this mouth have, reduced the pro.-peet of the cotton crop twenty-five
per oent from what it was a month ago, and apprehension of further
disaster is felt.
Qrctrit Springs. A la.—Rainfall greater, than average, though less than
last year. Cot!bn three weeks late; no worms.
New Orleans, .La.—Extraordinary number of daj'son which rain fell.
Fayette, Miss.- Too much rain. Cotton bolls rotting in tin* fields. No
holl worms nor army worms here yet. Picking about commenced.

Very

The cotton crop, is looking well and prospects about an average. There

cotton worm in my.tr.-wls.

Memphis, Tenh.—Maturity of cotton crop retarded by low temperature
