LoNDos, Saturday. Sept. 10, 1881.
The K<>ld market has been decidedly quieter during the week,
and no movements of importaiu^e have taken place but it is in
a state of considerable uncertainty, and business is conducted,
therefore, with much caution. On the Stock Exchange prices
Lave been steadily improving, and increased confidence has
been imparted to the markets, owing to a somewhat considerable
fall in the price of wheat.
The New York Exchange on London having advanced, and thore being now less expectation of
gold being sent away in any important quanties to the United
States, there are many who are of opinion that the existing
Bank rate of four per cent is sufficient for the purpose required
of it, viz., to check the outflow of gold. For the present, at
least, that object has been fairly accomplished.
Since last
Thursday week there has been only one important operation
in gold in connection with the American demand. But a mere
check to the export movement is less than is demanded. In
the natural course of thing.s there is usually more movement
in monetary and bullion circles in the autumn than at other
periods of the year
and as our stocks of bullion have been
entrenched upon of late, a restoration, in some way or other,
of the supplies abstracted is desirable. As yet the four per
cent rate of discount has failed to accomplish this, even in a
very small degree, though it is said that a few parcels of gold
have been received from the Continent during the last few
days. The directors of the leading Continental banks have,
however, adopted the same measures as ourselves to protect
their gold supply, and consequently not mucsh gold is expected
from the Continent. The supply of bullion held by the Bank,
of England has decreased this w^eek to the extent of £327,243,
which is partly to be accounted for by the requirements of the
country for harvest purposes ; and the inference is that if our
position cannot be restored by means of a four per cent rate of
discount a five per cent rate will before long form the subject of
discussion. There is some reason to believe that the export of
gold to America this autumn will be less than in 1880 and 1879,
but this is at present only a matter of conjecture, and being so,
rale.

speculators in securities, controlled obviously by the action of
the banks and discount houses, are desirous to, and are to some
extent compelled to, act with caution.
The value of money in the open market has declined during
the week to the extent of fully one-half per cent, three months'
bank bills being taken at 3j6 per cent, and, in some instances.
at a still lower quotation. The demand for money for commercial purposes shows no distinct change, and as there is a
falling off in the total of "other securities" of £286,000, it is
inferred that the requirements of the Stock Exchange have
been curtailed. The present period of the year is usually one
of inactivity in general circles, as there are so many absentees
making their holiday tours ; but, in addition to this, there are
well-known reasons for limiting speculative business on the
Stock Exchange, and any great revival is not anticipated until
something definite is known respecting the probable course of
the markets for gold and money. The majority of the trans
actions which had been opened on the Stock Exchange in
anticipation of a fall in prices have been closed, and the
markets now present a firmer appearance
but they are still
sensitive, as the future is involved in some uncertainty.
With
regard to money, there is certainly more competition on the
part of the banks and discount houses for bills, and consequently the rates of discount are easy as follows

taken place, and the new memhave pledged
themselves to advocate a protectionist policy. There is, no
doubt, an increasing feeUng in this country that as many
impediments are placed in our way by foreign countries to a
free and healthy development of our commerce, we ought, in
self-defense, to exert our power to protect ourselves against our
foreign rivals. To accomplish this is a work of much difficulty,
and one which requires great discretion. Tue Englishman,
whether he be a manufacturer, merchant or agriculturist, is
prone to grumble, and his contention is that if matters are not
progressing, they must be retrograding. If, however, we compare one decade with its predecessor, we find continued progress, and that the country is still doing a large business. Profits,
no doubt, are smaller, but, at the same time, some middle men
must secure large gains, as the general public derive but little
benefit from the low prices which prevail for many commodities.
For instance, the low price of wool which has now been current
for many years has made no difference in the cost of a suit of
clothes or of a lady's garment, and when it is borne in mind
that at one period the raw material was depreciated in value
from 30 to 50 per cent, it is obvious that a section, if not more,
of trade has secured a liberal profit. Some persons advocate a
tax on food, because, they say, the foreigner will have to pay
it; it is difficult to convince such that the burden falls upon the
consumer. There will, no doubt, be some modifications, and
much will depend upon what new arrangements can be made
with France. We have, fortunately, able men in the government who are peculiarly fitted to deal with this question, and
we know that the leader of the Conservative party is by no
means likely to advocate the measures which the new members
have pledged themselves to ventilate. It is very surprising
that men can argue in favor of a tax on food when, as a manufacturing nation, it is of the first importance that food should
be cheap, in order that we may produce our manufactures at
as low a rate as goods can be manufactured abroad. England
has, undoubtedly, prospered under free trade principles, and
even the Conservative party are reluctant to relinquish them.
Last Thursday Liverpool was en fete, on the occasion of the
opening of new docks by the Prince and Princess of Wales.
His Royal Highness said that at the commencement of the
present century dues were paid on 43,006 tons, while at the
present time it is on nearly 7,900,000 tons annually. In 1848
the docks and basins numbered only 27, while they are now 53.

EXPORTS.
The exports of gold to the United States in August amounted
f 1,371,289, against £694,570 last year; and during the eight
months to £5,658,794, against £790,078 last year.
The weather has been somewhat variable, and in the earlypart of the week heavy rains fell throughout the country.
During the last few days there has been all the appearance of
autumn, and the temperature has been low for the time of
year. Some progress has been made with harvest work, but it
has not been as rapid as could have been desired. The condition of the produce is for the most part unsatisfactory. The
trade for wheat was dull in the early part of the week at an
average reduction of about 4s. per quarter, but the market

Chicago & Iowa.— A Rockford dispatch of the I3tbiiaids
" The trooble between the CbicMo i Iowa and the Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul roads, whicn had its origin with the
attempted seizure of the Chicago Rociiford & Ni.rthem Railroad bv the Milwaukee force, has Anally terminated in the
amicable arrangement which has been prophesied for some
•
»
months. The llnal adjustment was had yesterday.
•
It is understood that the Milwaukee will have the right of
crossing the bridge here and then have forty feet of the
Chicago & Iowa right of way. From the east side of Davis
Junction they will build a track of their own parallel with the
Chicago & Iowa track. At the Junction they connect with
their Chicago and Pacific division. The work will be pushed
forward speedily, and at no far distant day a new union depot
will probably be located where the Chicago & Iowa now
stands." liaiiway Review.

capital stock of $1,000,000, and with offices al.so in Philadelphia

We are under an .agi-eement with the Republican Valley Railroad
Company to aid in building certain extensions ot its road in ea.steru
Nebraska, the construction of about 70 miles of which is now well advanced. We have also concluded a new agreenieni with that eoinnanv
suliject to the appi-oval of our Ktockhoiders, tu funiisli nart of theiueaiis
TO enable it to go to the State line, and to ail iu building the road

By these several arranaenients the Chicago Burlington & Qnincv

As
it

tlionglit to lie desirable
ultimately to cou>'olldate the

proposed to hold the above securities iu trust, aud to issue the securities
of the Chicago Burlington .t Q;iiucy Railroad Company- to represent

The stock of the Republican Valley Railroad Company will be held by
the Treasurer of the Chicago Burlington & Quiuey Railroad Company

entitle the holder alter April 1, 1882, to the same divideuds and ri-'hts
as may accrue upon Cuioago Burllugton & Qniney Railroad Company

the Democratic State Central Committee of Arkansas, and a
prominent candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor of that St&te last year in opposition to an amendment to

Between the strong accounts from Liverpool and the improved
crop accounts, the course of prices for cotton for future delivery was somewhat irregular early in the week under review.
On Saturday and until noon Monday the early months and the
more distant months declined. But on Monday afternoon the
whole market gave way under the probability of the partial
stoppage of English mills. Oi^ Tuesday there was some further
decime, but the closing of the Cotton Exchange at noon prevented the full development of the tone of the market. On
Wednesday the possible failure of the short-time movement in
England and the smaller receipts at the ports caused some
and
revival of speculative activity
confidence,
upon which pnces
advanced, the upward movement continuing to near the close of
Thursday's business, when some slight re-action took place. The
buying has been mainly for Western and Southern account, and
the selling for New York and New England account, and the
contest between the rival parties to the speculation has at times
been quite exciting. To-day the receipts at the ports were more
liberal and foreign advices less favorable, yet there was some
further advance. Cotton on the spot declined %c. on Saturday
and again on Monday. On Thursday quotations were f uUy revised—good middling and above reduced %a. ; middling and
strict low middling unchanged; low middling advanced 1-1 6c.;
strict good ordinary and good ordinary advanced ^c; strict
stained middling adordinary and ordinary advanced 3-16c.
vanced l-16c.; low middling advanced %c,; strict good ordinary
and good ordinary advanced 3-16c. To-day the market closed
easy at ll%c. for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 644,200
bales.
For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
7.611 bales, including 4,555 for export, 3,014 for consumption,

Curxiuatia, Texas.—The drought ban been very neTere, and
cotton crop has been damaged.
Ei.Lwox & Co.'a CiBCULAR FOB Sbptkmbbr.— We hare thia
week received Mr. KlIiN<)n'8 circular, dated September 10, and
take from it the following review of the coame of ttade since
his previous circular.
COmUSB OP TIIR LIVF.nPOOL MARKRT, ACO. 9 TO SEPT. 10.
Our last report wa.s i.sHuod on the 10th Angnst. The market
was ouiet and remained mo for aloont a week. Spinnent purchased sparingly in expectation of a re-action in prices, bat
though spots gave way l-iud., "futures" advanced 1-lCd. to
3-32a, owing to reported injury to the cotton crop from
drought. In the subsequent week, however (that ended on the
19th nit.), there was marked change; the spot demand increased, and futures continued active under the influence of
stimulating advices from America. Prices consequently advanced 3-16d. to Md. on the spot, 6-16d. for September delivery
(owing to the apprehended " corner"), and 3-16d. for distant
cotton. Then came a re-action of 8-lf5d. on the spot, 6-16d. for
September, and %d for distant futures, between August 19 and
The fall brought in buyers, especially as the upward
24.
movement in America continued witn unabated vigor; and
between the 24th ult. and the Gth inst., with slight fluctuations,
the prices advanced %d. to 7-16d. for " new crops." Late on
the 6th there was a re-action of l-16d., but this was partially
recovered on the 7th. The 8th was a holiday. Yesterday
there was a large business done on the spot at an advance of
l-16d.; futures were very active, not to say excited, and prices
advanced l-32d. to l-16d. for near and %i. to 5-32d. for distant
po.sitions in respon.se to further stimulating advices (including;
some orders to buy) from America. Last evening there was a
slight re-acUon, and to-day there is also more inclination to sell
than to buy; the final prices are therefore l-16d. lower than the
best rate of yesterday.
The following is an account of the principal fluctuations in
the prices of middling upland on the spot and for forward
delivery during the past month:

The following remarks accompany the month's reports for
August, 1?81
Norfolk, Va. During the month there has been very little
rain, and farmers in the adjoining country report that crops
are damaged to a great degree. They say that never before in
the memory of the oldest inhabitants has Virginia been visited
by such a damaging drought.
Charleston, »V. C. Violent northeast storm on the 26th and
27th. Maximum velocity of wind, .54 miles. Damage to property in Charle.ston and vicinity estimated at |loO,000.
Augu.ita, (?«.— Northeast gale on the 27th and 28th, causing
some damage to fences, &c., and damaged cotton in fields by
blowing it out of the open bolls.
Savannah, Qa. The storm of the 27th caused great damage
to property and rice crops. Number of lives lost about 75,
principally colored hands on rice plantations.
Columbus, ©a.— Storm on the 2Sth inst., with only slight

damage
to crops.
Mobile, ^l^a.— Last half of month very dry.
New Orleans, La.—No rain since the 15th.
CoZ«/;i&««,7(Am.— Caterpillars caused damage during this
month, stripping the plant sooner than ever known.
Vwksburg, Miss. Crops have been very much injured by
drought.
Nashuille, Tewt.—The drought of last month still continues.
Cotton is very much dwarfed; much of it is cracking open
before its time on account of the heit. Many springs and wells
—
have gone dry.

temporarily touched
6 13-16d., but closed at 6 29-32d. The net advance of the month
is /^d. for spots, /^d. for September delivery, /^d. for near and
%A. for distant futures.
The closing spot quotations, compared with those of a month
since, show an advance of 7-16d. to 9-lBd. in American, %d. to
3-16d. in Brazils, %d. in Egyptian and l-16d. in Sarats.
The relative cheapness of Brazils, Egyptian and East Indian
has led to an increased demand for them, and the advance just
quoted has taken place during the last week or so.
COtJKSB OF THE MAHCIIESTER MARKET, AUG. 9 TO SEPT. 9.
The quietness which characterized the market at the date of
our last report has since continued. The advance in cotton
about the middle of August caused producers to hold for full
rates, but the re-action which took place on the third week of
the month was followed by a decline of J^d. to ^d. in yarn and
a corresponding fall in piece goods. The subsequent recovery
in cotton has caused spinners to re-demand old prices, but the
business done has been insufBcient to enable them to get an
advance equivalent to the rise in the raw material. Buvera
regard the present currency as artificial and temporary. They
are, therefore, postponing as much business as possible.
The
sales have fallen considerably short of the out-turn of the mills,
but the orders already in hand have kept the machinery fully
work and have prevented any accumulation of stocks.
The exports of yarns and piece goods continue to keep ahead
of those of last year, but the increase during the past two
months shows a marked decline compared with with the movement in the first half of this year. Subjoined we give the
exports in the first six and subsequent two months of this year
and last— assuming 5/6 yards of goods to be equal to one pound
at
of yarn:

PROSPECTS.
Early in June last, when middling upland was at 6 3-16d.
against 6 13-16d. at the corresponding date of last year, we
stated that some advance in prices would have to take place in
order to bring about such a re-distribution of the visible supply
of cotton in the world as would give England the quantity she
required for the balance of the season. Very little change
took place during the subsequent month, prices on July 8
being only %d. higher than on June 10, while England's proportion of the world's supply had rather diminished than increased. By and by the absolute necessity for such an equalization of stocks as we had pointed out forced itself upon the
attention of all classes of operators, the result of which was a
sharp advance in prices, which, by attracting cotton from all
quarters, has given England a much larger proportionate share
of the stock in the world than she possessed three months ago
Until within the past month the more distant positions of
futures known as " new crops" did not partake of the rise which
took place in August to September deliveries. Even so recently
as August 24 new crops were freely offered at 6 3-32d., but
within the past few days they have touched 6Md The advance
is due to reported extensive injury to the crop from drought.
and a consequent largely-diminished yield. That some damage
has been done is no doubt true enough, but it is not at all
unlikely that the injury is greatly exaggerated; and there is
just as much room for circum.spection now as there was in May
and June last, when we protested against the sensational crop
estimates then put forth.
in prices

may
be that a still
hand—much will depend upon the action of
i.nglish spinners during the coming few weeks. Nothing,
however, would justify any important advance on present rates
eicept continued, and authoritatively confirmed, unfavorable
crop accounts. These remarks refer, of course, to the new
season; respecting September alone we know nothing, and can
only hope that the " hard times " which the " bears " are experiencing wUl be a warning to them in the future.

Indian corn has for some days been tending upward. The
lecent rains in the Ohio Valley were too late to do much good
to the crop, and the yield is undoubtedly much smaller than in
any recent year. Therefore, notwithstanding large current
supplies (from the crop of 1880), and a vast accumulation of
stocks, prices have slowly but steadily advanced

Eye has been tending upward, with
prime State at
f 1 07@$1 08; but the market is quiet. Barley remained quiet,
but at the close to-day there were sales of Canada at $1 15 for
No. 1 and $1 20 for " bright."
Oats have been more active, and white, from scarcity, advanced; but in mixed there irf not much change. We have to
notice, however, the important fact that on Thursday freight
was engaged for 100,000 bushels to French ports. This may be
the beginning of a large export business, and it is certain that
the high price of corn must greatly increase the consumption
of oats. The crop, however, is a large one, and the quality
excellent. To-day the market was firmer, No. 2 graded 5Ic. for
white and i'iM^e. for mixed; also. No. 2 mixed at 44Mc. for
October and iT%e. for November.

demand, but quiet upon the whole, and there was an active
business in dress ginghams.
Domestic Woolen Goods. The demand for men's-wear
woolens has been mostly confined to spring cassimeres, suitings
and worsted coatings, for which some gocni orders were placed
by the clothing trade. Heavy clothing woolens were quiet as
regards new business, but fair deliveries were made by agents in
execution of back orders and stocks are so well in hancl that
prices are firmly sustained.
Cloakings and beavers were quiet
with agents, but considerable lots of the latter were moved by
jobbers at relatively low prices. Kentucky jeans were lightly
dealt in, but a good busines.s was done in a few leading makes
of doeskins that have lately been reduced to exceptionally low

Colored flannels were in eteady demand and firm, and
there was a fair movement in blankets. Worsted dress goods,
shawls and skirts were mostly quiet but steady in price.
FoEEioN Dry Goods have been rather less active in both first
and second hands, and the offerings at auction were unimportant as a rule. Cashmeres and specialties in fancy dress goods
changed hands In moderate quantities, and there was a fair
demand for small parcels of silks, satins, velvets and plushes,
desirable makes of which are steadily held. Linen goods, laces
and embroideries were in limited request, and the (lemand for
hosiery and gloves was mostly of a hand to-mouth character.

BasinesH has been restricted in Toliinie the pMt week, owing
to the sad event of President Garfleld's death, which c«aMd
many buyers to suspend operations for the present. There
was a steady movement in cotton ffoocb, gingharas, shirts and
drawers, Ac, on account of bad orders; but the current
demand (at flint hands) was comparatively liglit. Light-weight
clothing woolens have been more generally opened bv agents,
and some very fair orders for cassimeres. worsted coatings, 4c.,
were placed by clothiers -for fatare delivery.
The Jobbing
trade was mcxlerately active, and large sales of black prints,
cambrics, rolled jaconets, buntings, Ac, for draping purposes,
vvere made by leading jobbers at remunerative prices, quotations having been advanced in some cases, owing to the comparative scarcity of such fabrics.
Domestic Cottou Goods.— The eiports of cotton goods daring
the week ending Sept. 20 aggregated 8,432 packages, inclading
1,677 to China, 608 to Great Britain, 3i»l to Argentine Bepablic,
351 to U. S. of Columbia, 132 to Hayti, 103 to Uraguay, lOO to
Venezuela, and smaller lota to other markets. The demand at
first hands was only moderate, but receipts were almost wholly
absorbed in the execution of back orders, and a very fair business was transacted by jobbers. Prices ruled firm on all
desirable makes of plain and colored cottons, and stocks have
seldom or never been so light at this stage of the sea.son. Print
cloths were in fair demancl and firm at 3 15-16c., less a small ^s-
