various undertakings, have caused some alarm among deby the suspension of the new Oriental

Early in the summer some of the great bankers in Paris
sounded the Finance Minister as to the expediency of an
immediate attempt at a voluntary conversion of that
stock, amounting in round figures to about 371}.^ millions
sterling.
The Finance Minister, however, was not then
prepared, bat it is reported that he has now decided upon
a plan, and that the conversion will be attempted in a
month or two. This year it must be voluntary, but in the
middle of August next year the stock is redeemable at par.
The immense sums deposited in the savings banks are being
employed to support the market, and interested bankers are
aiding in the operation.
It is understood that the negotiations between the Bank of
Spain and the Banque de Paris et des Pays Bas for a loan of 3
millions sterling from the latter to the former have at last
been concluded. The Government is to issue 6 months Treasury bills, and the bills are to be indorsed by the Bank of Spain.

money shows a rising tendency in Berlin. The autumnal advance in rates generally begins earlier in Germany than either
in France or the United Kingdom. Besides, it is said that the
interruption of business by the cholera is affecting the money

The Board of Trade returns for August are somewhat better
than those for the previous months of this year. The value of
the exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures
shows a decrease compared with August last year of about
£619,000, or nearly 3 per cent. For the eight months of the

that hardly ever in their recollection has business
been so
utterly slack and unprofitable. There has been
an improvemect in quotations during the week in the South American

department, more particularly in Argentine securities, but
the
rise has not been accompanied by any
material increase in
business;

it is chiefly due to the belief that the
danger of revolutionary movements is past and that the economic
condition
in Argentine and Uruguay is improving.
On the Continental
Bourses quotations are wonderfully well kept up,
and there is
more business doing than in London, though the

of eight shares of Housatonic for one share of New Haven,

Central Railroad of Georgia.—The meeting of the direcwas held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, on Thursday. A resolution was adopted for the appointment of a
special committee repreienting New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston interests, with instructions to devise a plan
for the adjustment of the company's indebtedness. The committee is not completed, but will include E. Rollins Slorse, of
Bosron; E. Dennison, of E. W. Clark & Co., of Philadelphia;
F. M. Colston, of Wilson, Colston & Co., of Baltimore; C. H.
Phinizy, of Augusta, Ga.; J. T. Woodward, President of
the Hanover National Banic, Emanuel Lehman and H. B. Hollins, of this city.
The committee afterwards organized, with
Mr. H. B. Hollins as chairman.
Messrs. Speyer & Co.
who have been at work for some
months on a reorganization plan, say that they will be well
satisfied if a committee of responsible and conservative business men will thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Georgia
Central sptem. They have no doubt that the result of such
an investigation will confirm the data furnished them, which
show much larger cash requirements than is generally supposed to be needed.
Of the present floating debt about $3,700,000 is due Speyer
& Co. and $700,000 is due the Mutual Life Insurance Company.
An effort will be made to pay oil the greater part of this debt
and effect a change in the management of the property.

BREADSTUFF S.
Fkidat, September 23, 1892.

The market

for

flour

has

shown some improvement.

Jobbers have been taking more interest, particularly in the
trade brands, and this, with the improvement in wheat, has
caused a more confident feeling among holders. Com meal
has been in slow request and common sto^k has weakened
somewhat with corn. Choice grades, however, hold steady.
To-day there was a fair business in the choice brands of flour
at steady prices. Corn meal was quiet and unchanged.
7 he speculation in wheat has been slow but values have
made a slight advance, owing to the abatement of the cholera

averaging close on to 500,000 bushels a day, but there
does not appear to be any great pressure of wheat on the
market, as a good portion of it is being sent to store to be h( 14
there against future contracts, mostly December and May,
which are selling at a good premium over spot price=>. Yesterday's sales included No. 2 hard winter at 78c. delivered
No. 1 Northern at SJ^c. over December delivered, and choice
red winter at 82}^e. delivered. To-day the market was lower
under a continut>d lars<e crop movement, and selling by
" longs " to realize profits. The spot market was fairly active
and steady. The sales included No. 2 red winter at 79d793^c»
in elevator No. 3 red winter at 73c. in elevator ; No. 2 hard
winter at 4i^c. under December delivered and uograded red
winter at 775^.-8780.

The speculation in Indian corn futures has b^en moderately
active, but the course of prices has continued downward.
The prospects for the crop continue favarable, though here
and there light damage n reported to late corn. The crop
movement also continues good. In the s.pot market there
has been a miterial improvement to the demand, shippers
being fair buyer.^. Yesterday the sales included No 2 mixed
at o3@3334^o. in elevator canal. No. 2 mixed at 5i}4'953}^c.,
delivered, and yellow at 53;!4c. To-day th-i market was louver
under favorable crop pro-spects. The demand on the spc t
was less aciive, but values hold steadv. Siles includ-'d No. 2
mixed at 53c. in elevator, and canal No. 2 mixed at 53>.^9

Columbia River, The prlncipil agricultural

which is 10 miles or more in width by 30 miles in length.
Within this valley little, if anything, the Census agent says,

can be raised without irrigation, as the precipitation during
the summer months is very small, and the winds which preAs concerns Yakima
vail tend to promote rapid evaporation.
County, this lies south of Kittitas, aid the sam? g-^neral remarks apply in its case th»t is, as a general rule nothing can
be raised without irrigation, althoug'i there are a few favored
spots where wheat has been successful without the artificial
application of w iter. In the eastern end of the county, out
towards the plains of the Columbia, says the Census bulletin,
there are localities where farming without irrigation is attempted; but the yield is so small as barely to repay the efforts

—

of the cultivator.

^^

Taking the State as a whole, the Cascade M rantains range
divides it into two main parts, which differ in climate and in
agricultural capabilities. On the western side of the range
the annual precipitation is heavy, but east of the mountains
the rainfall is much smaller and vegetation comparatively
scant. Still, even in Eastern Washington agriculture is
claimed to be fairly successful in most of the counties without the artificial application of water wherever water can be
obtained, however, at moderate expense, irrigation has been
introduced, and the results obtained by that method have generally demonstrated its value. The conclusion is reached that
irrigation is determined largely by convenience and the question of expense. In most counties irrigation is still in the experimental stage, being used to tide over an occasional drought,
" and even in Western Washington flooding of the lands
;

IRRiaATION IN WASHING TON AND ADJOINING
STATES.
Irrigation has effected a great transformation in

many of

the remoter States of the West containing larger or smaller
areas of so-called arid land. Much territory of that kind

which had previously been considerei worthless, owing to the
absence of sufficient rainfall, has by the distribution of water
through ditches or through other mean^ been made very productive and the value of the land increased many fold.
The State of Washington has a smaller area of crops under irrigation than the adjoining States, partly because there is less
need for irrigation, but alsj because irrigation is still in its
experimental stage there
but certain facts regarding that
State, furnished in a Census bulletin recently issued, are nevertheless quite interesting as throwing more or less light on the
system of irrigation, the cost of providing it, and the increase
in the value of land occasioned by it. The data in the bulletin
have been collected by Mr. F. H. Newell, special agent of the
Census office, under the direction of Mr. John Hyde, the agent
in charge of the statistics of agriculture. It is found that altogether crops were raised by irrigation in Washington in the
Census year ending May 31 1890 on 48,799 acres, or 16^4
square miles, which, however, is only about eleven one-hundredths of one per cent of the entire land surface of the State.
It is important to note, though, that the irrigated areas were
confined to only 13 counties out of 34, the 13 comprising about
;

one-half the area of the State. In these coun'ies there were
1 1890 11,837 farms, of which 1,046, or nearly one-tenth,

June

contained irrigated areas. The total crop area on the 1,016
t-'Toas was about 17 per cent of the total area of lands owned
by the irrigators. Carrying our analysis a step further we
discover that the bulk of the irrigated areas is found in two
counties. This will appear from the following table which we
have taken from the Census bulletin in question, and which
gives the figures for each of the 18 counties in which irrigation has been practiced.

" is oscasionally resorted to in order to increase the forage
" crops." The climate of Washington is wonderfully mild,
the fluctuations of temperature being within relatively narrow limits. The wioters are short and sellom severe except
in the Big Bend County, the chief drawbacks being the long,
dry summer and the prevalence of winds, especially throughout the level country.
The methods of irrigation, we are told, do not differ materially from those used elsewhere, the general practice being to
flood the lands on which hay or cereals are raised, or to conduct the water through small furrows between rows of vegetables, corn, or other plants.
Ojcasionally more systematic
measures are used, it is said, as, for example, having the
ground leveled and provided with low ridges of earth or
checks by which the water is retained at a uniform depth
over the enclosed area. Tlie size of the space within the checks
is regulated by the slope of the land —the more nearly level
the larger the space. In one case, it is stated, the checks enclosed upward of five acres, and an irrigating stream was used
sufficiently Urge to cover this ground in two and a half hours
When one area is full, the water, unless the ground is very
dry, is drawn off into the next area enclosed by checks, other
water being run in at the same time by meatis of small lateral
ditches.

The average cost of constructing ditches and bringing
water to the land, in Washington, is estimated from the statements of farmers to have been $1 03 per acre irrigated, the
amount ranging from $1 00 to $5 00 or more per acre. The
average annual expense of maintaining the ditches is estimated at 75 cents per acre, the average for the different counties ranging from 85 cents to $3 00 par acre.
It is pointed out
that these repairs are usually of a very simple character, consisting merely in the cleaning out of the ditch at points where
sediment has been deposited, an 1 in repairing breaks. With
these figures as a basis, estimates are made of the addition to
the value of the land by irrii^ation and the average annual returns. The cost of preparing the ground for cultivation is
given as |10 27 per acre. Adding to this the $4 03 per acre for
supplying the water and the original cost of the land at the

Government

price of $1 25 per acre, the total cost of the culti-

vated land to the irrigator would stand at |I5 55 ptr acre,
whereas the average value of the irrigated land, including
buildings, etc., is placed at foU 00 per acre, showing an apparent profit of f34 45 per acre, less whatever the buildin;;s may
have coet. The average annual value of tlie products per acre

While Washington in the Census year had only 48,
under irrigation, Oregon had 177,944 acres, Idaho 217,005 acres
and Montana 350,582 acres. The four States together had
almost 800,000 acres, which shows how important the practice
has become in the section the above table covers. The first
cost per acre, it will be seen, is somewhat lower in Washington than in the other States. This is explained as being due
to the fact that such of the ditches as were in use in 1889 were
built in the most favorable localities, that they were short and

statement it will be seen that, notwithstanding
the low interest rate on the majority of municipal loans which
have been issued during recent years, the average rate of interest on State and local indebtedness throughout the country
in 1890 was 5'29 per cent.
That this average interest rate
should remain so high is mainly due to the fact that many
long-time bonds are still outstanding which bear high rates of
interest and were issued without option of redemption, and
which, consequently, cannot be refunded at a lower rate antil
their date of maturity arrives.
The average rate of interest on the Nitional, State and

the other three States is not very great after all, the cost per

Montana, against $4-08 for Washington. The average annual cenfduiing the decade, while in the case of the State and
