Of course all this makes the preparation of cotton crop reports
more and more perplexing. A moment's glance at any recent railroad map, with its iinoa interlocking one another, showing routes
to every conceivable point of the compass, can but suggest to any
mind the peculiar difficulties of the situation as it now presents

the introduction of another disturbing feature, and that is, a movement inland

Another class of deductions made this year is the .amount
Tlio same
taken from the outports for home consumption.
reasoning applies to these items which applies to the inland
shipments. They are counted at the outports where they first
appear; and as the entire Southern consumption is made up in an
item by itself and added to the crop, they would be twice counted
Unless deducted as we have done. In procuring the details which
enable us to make many of these deductions, wo arc especially
indebted to the kindness and etlicieney of the Superintendents of
the Cotton Exchanges in the various Southern cities, those
organizations having, by-the-way, been remarkably fortunate

and successful

in obtaining

men

of so

much

intelligence

and

character for those important i)Ositions.
The only other deductions made are the arrivals during the
year by railroad from the West and South at New York, Boston,

Baltimore, Philadelphia and Portland. Those receipts reached
these ports by coming across the country, and appear in our
weekly totals, becoming a part of the receipts at the ports, under
the heads of "New York" and "Other Ports," but now have

heen divided up and included under each separate city, according to
the amount thus received by it during the year as indicated in the

is

We admit, therefore, some surprise at the conclilsion to which
our figures appear to be ttnding. Previous information led us to
expect a falling off in consumption in the North of about 150,000
bales.
It will be remembered that early in the fall of 1874 efforts
were made to have all the Northern mills run on short time, but
these efforts were only partially successful

was intended that there should be a uniform

reserved to be published in our completed report of consumption
for the whole country.
'Weisht or Bale«.
In seeking to obtain correct data of the weight of bales composing this crop, we have adopted the same plan which we have
used in previous years that is, returns from the Custom Houses
as to the weight of exports. A statement to us from each Custom House establishes the following average weight of the exports which, applied to the total exports from the points named,
gives us the following result. For the cotton carried overland
from Tennessee, &c. we adopt the average weight as given by
the Memphis Cotton Exchange:

bales

to be about 25 per cent for the three months.

Then, again,
though early in January most of the mills started to full time
by the 1st of February the prolonged winter drought and
extraordinary freezing of the water-courses so reduced the
active mill-power that
the best authorities estimated that
during February the average production of the New England
mills waa less than two-thirds of full capacity.
And finally,
since February the goods trade has been so bad and unprofitable that the tendency of manufacturers everywhere has been
towards shorter time. Taking all these considerations together, it
was quite generally believed that the North had consumed about
150,000 bales less than a year ago. But our crop figures, and (so
far as we can j udge at the present time) our mill return j do not
bear out this supposition. From these data we cannot see how
the decreased consumption as compared with last year exceeds
75,000 bales, unless the mills have run into stock, which is not
generally believed to be the fact.
As intimated above, new
spindled have been added to

some

and the weight of
goods has increased; so that although the causes mentioned above
would have been sufficient to reduce the takings 125 to 150 thousand
bales, these compensating circumstances have made the actual
consumption much less. Should this prove to be the fact, it is a
favorable one to the producer of cotton and of some importance in
making our calculations for the coming year; although, of course,
since the first of August there has been a more decided stoppage
of mills in certain quarters and a reduction of time in others; while

— American securities have

ruled steady throughout the week.

The import of wheKt into the United Kingdom last week, as
shown in the above statement, is believed to have been the largest

The

on record.
I have prepared the following tables which show the value of
oar imports of grain in the two last seasons. It will be seen that
for wheat we paid in 1874-5, £5,600,000 less than in the preceding
season but that for feeding stuSs, excepting Indian com, we had
to disburse considerably larger sums:

failure of a grain ship-

ping house having Liverpool connections, and of a grocery jobbing
firm were the only disasters reported, and these were not regarded
as having any special Bignilic%nce. Trade prospects, so far as
they depend upon good crops at the West and South, seem to be
favorable, and even i^-here the profits on tbe sale of products are
not large, the advantages of heavy crops at a moderate price over
small crops nt a higher price, are not inconsiderable, particularly
to the transportation companies and to commission merchants and
brokers.

The following figures, compiled from the report of the Bureau
show the exports and imports of the whole United
States for the month of July, 1875, compared with the same
month in 1871. These reports are issued so much more promptly
than formerly that they now carry far more interest as practical

Southern State bonds, and sales

near a minimum. A few transactions in North Carolina special
tax bonds were made at 3((i3J, and Georgia gold 7s sold at 100.
Virginia advices from private parties are favorable, and speak
hopefully of provisions being made to pay interest as it matures.
Railroad bonds have been reasonably active, and the prices of
the best bonds well maintained; Central Pacifies have sold up to
105, and Union Pacific first mortgage at 103^^.
If the money
market continues as easy throughout the autumn as many now
anticipate, it is natural to suppose that the demand for the higher
classes of railroad bonds will be more active than usual at this
season, as the lack of employment for money at profitable rates
leaves an accumulation to seek investment in the best class of
bonds, paying a fair rate of interest.
Daily closing prices of a few leading bonds, and the range
since Jan. 1, have been as follows:

Railroad and Itllscellaneons Stocks. Stocks have been
quite irregular and, as a general rule, depressed. There has not
been so much the appearance of a determined bear movement
this week, as a general lack of animation and an apparent disinclination to buy. The market has declined considerably in the past
few weeks, and the question is pertinent now, as always under
similar circumstances, as to whether prices have touched bottom.
There are some indications, from the halting condition of the
market and the absence of any further important decline in the
past day or two, that prices may have reached a point from which
they are likely to react but the result in stock movements is
proverbially uncertain. Ohio & Mississippi has been one of the
weakest stocks, and touched 14J on Thursday, although tlie company has made no default, and has already published notice that

a price on the stock of a company n')! insolvent, and the annual
report to be published in Octoljer will be looked for with interest.
Lake Shore has rallied from the extreme decline of last week,
and at times has been purchased freely. There seems to be little

expectation that the company will earn any dividend the present
half year, but with an advance on freight rates at the close of navigation the company's prospects would bo much better. Western
Union Telegraph has sold ex 2 per cent. div. at 7.5^^, and closes
at 76 this company will also issue its annual report in October,
and if the net earnings show as fairly as the brief quarterly
statements have indicated, the company is earning more than 8
per cent dividend over and above interest charges, &c., and unless
it is anticipated that telegraphing will decline in the future, the
company ought to be able to keep up its earnings hereafter. As
to Pacific Mail, there is no public information, and no estimates of
its future can be formed by parties outside of the management.
As to the Western railroads, the grain movement has lately been
larger, and they seem to have the prospect of a good business
during the Fall the officers think there is reason to hope that
the notorious Potter law in Wisconsin will be repealed this winter, as railroad building is entirely stopped in the State, and
most of the companies are in default. At the clo.se to-day the
tone was weak.

— A cable report

Sir Edward W.
says;
a personal insoect'on of the Erie Railway, has publislied his
report, in which he describes the permanent way of tho Erie
Railway as quite equal to the standard in the United States, but
the rolling stock defective. Tho net revenue of the line is only
31 per cent, of the gross receipts, and the outstanding debts of the
company are equal to about fourteen months' profits. Sir Edward
would not raise new capital in the present state of the company's
credit, but advises the bondholders to devote tho earning.< of tlie
line toward paying off the debts, and to issue certificates for the
mortgage interest. He says:
Id the present state of the credit of Eric the undertaking seems to me as
impossible as it would be unwise, even if possible, to endeavor to raise and
Tcintt rat)re cipital froni Enj^lautl. I can recommend no policy but that of
aelf redemption. 'I'he railway must pay its dehts by usin<; that part of its
current net earnings which the courts may permit to be so appropriated. A

Mobile City. The City of Mobile has been in default for
interest tor some time past. The total debt is about $:!,500,000,
mostly in 8 per cent, bonds, and under an act of the General
Assembly of Alabama of.MarchO, 1875, throe commissioners have
been appointed by the Governor to reduce and fund the city debt,
York to compromise with creditors.
and they are now in
The act authorized only $2,000,000 of new 6 per cent, bonds to be
issued, and as there is $700,000 of city debt having a preference,
it is proposed to exchange that at par, and the balance of debt
by giving $510 in new 6 per cent, bonds for $1,000 of old 8 per
cents.
The coupons of new bonds will be receivable for taxes.
The commissioners funded up to 34th inst. about $300,000.

Oil Creek

& Allegheny

Rirer.

— A dispatch from Pittsburgh,

Sept. 30, saya the Circuit Court of the IJnited States, now in
session there, has entered a decree allowing the stockholders of
the Oil Creek & Allegheny River Railroad Company to carry out
their agreement of foreclosure.

Taxation of Railroad Lands.— In the IT. S. Supreme Cmrt,
Washington, in the case of the Union Pacific Railroid Company, appellant, against Edward C. McShane, Treasurer, etc., an

at

inter.-'st,

appeal from the Circuit Court for the District of Nebraska, Mr.
Justice Miller has delivered the opinion of the Court.
These are cross appeals from a decree of the Circuit Court for
the District of Nebraska in a suit in equity brought by the railroad company to enjoin the defendants, who were treasurers of
counties in the State of Nebraska, from tho collection of taxe^
assessed on the lauds of the company. They say that the lands
were not liable to any State taxation at the time of the assessment
or levy, and the grouiids on which this exemption is claimed may
be divided into three distinct propositions
1. That by the third section of the act of IS iJ, under which the company

Logjaiisport Crawfordsville & SontUwesterii.— The committee appointed at a meeting of the bondholders of this road on
the 24th of May last have made a report. They say The total
amount nominally expended io the construction of the road is $4,279,910 25. The contractors who had assumed the construction
of tho road failed before its completion, leaving the enterprise in
«n unfinished condition. The present liabilities of the road are
^4,097,000. Of which 1>332,000 are receivers' ceitifjoates taking
precedence of bonds.
The total earniogg of the road l9r 1871 were f 2 19,973 80 total

By the decision of the Court on these pointn the decision in the
railway company against Pre.scott, 10 Wall., 003, is modified and
overruled so far as it asserts the contingent right of preemption
in lands granted to the Pacific Railrotd Company to constitute
fti) ejemption of those lands from State taxatiot!, but
allinned so
far as it holds th*t lands on which the cost of survey has not b-en
paid, and for which the United States have not issued a patent to
the company, are exempt from Stale taxation. Utit where the
government has issued the patent the lands are taxable, whether
payment of those costs has been made to the United Stuff s or
Reversed,

receivership is the alt'Tnative of the time. Foreclosure has been threatened.
If the latter IS to be avoided there nmst be co-operation and control in the
working of the former. I advise you to accept the receivership as the best
alternative, under all the circumstances, now possible. And I further advise
jou to rely upon the honor as I feel you may also re y upon the anxious labors
^nd full experience of the President and Receiver of the company.

At least ultimately, was generally expressed. Those present
«nn)uneed their willina;ness to fund their past due coupons, and
those falling due in the iiear future, if need be, and wait a year
or two for their money, but they unanimously refused to accept
less interest than te« per cent. No conclusion was reacho 1, but

completed shall be subject to settlement and pre-emption like other lands, at
a price not to exceed one dollar and twenty-rive cents per acre, to-be paid to

The market

the past

week has been

dull for cotton on the spot,
and prices have shown a steady decline, under increasing receipts
«t the ports, increasing stocks and dull trade in goods. Quotations were off ^c. on Saturday, ngain on Monday, and again
yesterday, reducing middling uplands from 14c. on Friday last to
and even at the decline there were more
13ic. last evening
;

than buyers. To-day, good middling and grades below
were ^c. lower, and grades above were Jc. lower, with only a
moderate demand for consumption.
For future delivery, we
have had a feverish and variable market, but, on the whole,
prices have been weakening. The severe storm which visited
the Gulf of Mexico last week was destructive upon the coast of
Western Texas
the city and harbor of Galveston were greatly
injured, and Indianola and some minor towns on the coast almost
totally destroyed, with the loss of many lives.
The telegraph
lines were broken down, and railway transportation suspended.
These calamities excited apprehensions that the cotton crop of
Texas and parts of Louisiana had been injured by beating out,
The receipts at the ports were also materially reduced
&c.
for some days.
It was also announced that the strike at Fall
liiver, Mass., had terminated, and that work will probably be
resumed on Monday next. All these circumstances contributed
in some degree to support the prices of cotton for future delivery.
The decline on Monday was nearly recovered the next day, and
ihere was a further Improvement on Wednesday, with Liverpool
showing a better market. But yesterday dulness and depression
returned. The receipts at the ports, notwithstanding a deficit in
the Gulf, were largely in excess of the corresponding date
last year,
promising an increase for the week, notwithstanding a considerable falling off in the first three days
and with spots again ^c. lower, operators for a rise lost all
heart.
The low prices and dull sale of many descriptions
of cotton goods
were also elements of weakness, it being
remarked that on the only other occasion since the war, when
cotion declined to 13^c., manufacturers were doing a large
and profitable business, and could afford to pay more for cotton

sellers

;

;

r<vhereas spinners claim that just the reverse is now the fact.
'They declare that they cannot afford to pay more tlian lie. at
tjrresent prices of goods, many descriptions of which are cheaper
than before the war. To day, ^ the market opened weak and partially lower, but soon recovered tone on the advices from Texas.
After 'Change, there were sales at 13 13-33c. for October and 13c.
<or January, showing a firmer market for early deliveries.
The
total sales for forward delivery for the week are 113,300 bales,
including
free on board. For immediate delivery the total
sales foot up this week 5,034 bales, including 43 for export,
4,887 for consumption, 105 for speculation and
in transit.
Of the above, 33 bales wer« to arrive. The following are the

Weather Repobts by Telbgraph. —Last week

closed with
the announcement of the terrible storm raging along the coast of
Texas, and the remnants of the storm working inland as far as
Shreveport. To-day we have the record of the succeeding rains
and lower temperature which have since passed over a very considerable portion of the Southern States, the rainfall being very
heavy in some sections. It would seem, however, that outside of
Texas the force of the storm was mainly felt in the lower Mississippi 'Valley and through thj States adjoining.
It will be noticed
that at Shreveport it rained steadily thirty-eight hours, with a
rainfall o( seven inches and filty nine hundredths; while at
Vicksburg the rainfall was five inches and sixty-one hundredths,
followed by a slight frost. Going further into Mississippi we
find at Columbus the rniofall was only two inches and sixty hundredths
and on the other side of the river it had nearly spent
itself when it reached Little Kock, the rainfall there being one
inch and sixty-one hundredths. What damage has been done to
cotton in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and lower Arkansas we
have little means of estimating. No Galveston mail has reached
us since the disaster there, and as we write we are without our
telegraphic advices from Texas. The very excessive rain at
Shreveport and also at 'Vicksburg would indicate that the storm
was unusually severe between lower Arkansas and the Gulf.
Complaints of cold weather and too much rain also come from
many other points of the South. As the week closes, however,
there has been a favorable change. A late Fall and a long picking season are peculiarly desirable this season.
Galveston, Texai. Our Galveston telegram, which came to band
shortly after tbe above was written, contains the following During
the past week we have had only one rainy day, the rainfall reaching wo inches. The days have been warm aud the nights cold.
Picking has been interfered with by the storm. Average thermometer 70, lowest 59 and highest 79. The cause of the small
receipts this week is the interrupted communication, which will
probably continue a week longer. Last week's storm was terrific;
accounts from the interior are conflicting, but undoubtedly mucli
damage baa been done. The storm was more severe westwardly
than here.
Indianola is almost totally destroyed there is no
telegraphic or railroad communication there, and the surviving
inhabitants are destitute. The destruction in all the coast counties
The storm here lasted four days, the city being paris terrible.
tially flooded the whole time.
The rainfall reached ten and fiftythree hundredths inches. The highest wind was at the rate of
sixty miles an hour, and the average thirty-six.
Lowest barometer twenty-nine and four htindredths.
Corgieana, Texas. There were three rainy days here the past
week, the rainfall aggregating one and twenty-six hundredths

From the foregoing it would appear that compared with last
year there is an ineracue of 3.000 bales this year in the week's
