The varying phases in the conditions affecting the movements of money are claiming increased attention in all business circles. This is very natural, since our banks have small reserves, and the demands from the West and South for money seem to keep up a steady outflow, while our imports of general NO. 796. the entire situation that it should deceive no one. In the first place, too much is made of the unusual imports at this port last week. It is more reasonable to con¬ sider them exceptional; and the figures to be published to-day will be much less. This is the natural con¬ clusion whether we judge from the imports of previous weeks, or from the changed nature (compariug with last year) of our internal trade. Last winter and spring, the large total imports were the natural product of an unhealthy and excited speculation here. There is noth¬ ing of the kind in progress now. Business is active and all industries are prosperous; but there is a remarkable absence of speculation. The values of all foreign prod¬ ucts are therefore lower here than then, and although consumption is large, there is no such stimulus to the import trade as there was during those months. Furthermore, our export trade is in a much more healthy state. It is quite a remarkable feature that notwithstanding our breadstuff exports have been much smaller in quantities and still smaller in values than a year ago, our total exports, have been considerably larger, showing that the export movement of merchan¬ dise is of a more general character, that is, that many articles which were temporarily excluded from foreign markets by our high speculative prices, are now again securing a market. Breadstuffs and cotton have hardly as yet 'begun to move. Notwithstanding these facts, the balance in our favor on the merchandise movement continues fairly satisfactory. For July it was about $14,000,000. JThe August totals it is expected will he published next Monday or Tuesday. Judging, however, from the returns already known of the chief cities, we are inclined to believe that the August balance will be not very much less; and for September, if we take the New York figures for the basis of au esti¬ mate and give them a proportion to the whole similar to the proportion they bore in September, 1879, the excess of exports would be even larger, making a net trade balance for the three months somewhere about forty million dollars. Of course this total is smaller than it was for the same merchandise, large all the time, were very large last week, and foreign exchanges three months of 1879, when it reached about 46 million have, until within a day or two, been showing a slightly dollars. But there are other considerations which these improving tendency. Of course if imports are to con¬ figures do not cover. First among them is the fact that tinue on the scale indicated by last week’s movement, Europe was paying in part its balance here, all last sum¬ we should need very free exports even to pay our debts. mer, by sending us our securities. Now there is no such Consequently, the argument is that gold shipments from resource, and, in truth, during late months the movement Europe will soon necessarily cease, and there will be no has been to some extent in the opposite direction. More¬ fu^ds out of which the demand to move the crops can over, our breadstuffs and cotton are yet to move, and he supplied, so that bank contraction is to be expected. since, as stated above, there has been a decided increase This series of conclusions so plainly fails to take in in the outflow of other articles, we may fairly anticipate THE 316 that the value of our exports CHRONICLE.

So also with regard to our imports, for the reasons men¬ only maintain the almost exceptional totals of last year, but show improvement besides. We have not far to tioned, we cannot expect them to be as large the coming look for an explanation. All classes of our people are season as they were during the closing six months of the last fiscal year. It is of course possible that a similarly prosperous now, and consequently more money is at the wild speculation may sweep over the country, but not at disposal of each person. As a result, we travel more, and all probable. There is no apparent inclination in that passenger traffic on the roads is enlarged; we buy and sell more, and the volume of general freight increases. direction at present.

We also in that article explained that the Mexican Congress, in which all power in the matter is vested, did not, when these several schemes were submitted to it, undertake to decide upon their respective merits, but delegated its authority to Presi¬ dent Diaz, whose decision 'was to be final. The act which conferred this authority is known- as the Law of June 1, and by it General Diaz had until September 16 to an¬ nounce his determination. As the date for action has now expired, it will be interesting to note the results, so bered that in . 25, 1880.] the daily ^ . , in the history of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe, offer a guarantee that the work be will vigorously prosecuted and pushed to an early completion. As remarked in our previousarticle on the subject, 262 miles, from the City of Mexico to Leon, are already in process of construction. On this piece about 5,000 men are at present, past so prominent a part employed, and over $200,000 a month are being expended. Mr. Rudolph Fink, brother of Mr. Albert Fink, hasrecently been appointed general manager, and he will assume charge of the company’s affairs on the 1st of October. The third instalment upon the capital stock, being for 10 per cent, has been called for, makingaltogether 25 per cent called in so far. It is expected tohave 35 miles into the city of Mexico ready for operation in time to be opened by General Diaz before the expira¬ tion of his term of office. As soon as the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe reaches El Paso—it is now within 100 miles of that point, having reached Fort Thorn the other day— it is intended to begin construction at the northern end of the line also. El Paso seems destined to become quite an important railroad centre, as there are no less than six roads at present reaching out for it, namely the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe, the Southern Pacific, the Texas & Pacific, the Mexican Central, the Sonora, and the Galves¬ ton Harrisburg & San Antonio. Under the contract just approved by the Mexican Government, the Mexican Central gets a subsidy of $9,500 per kilometer, equivalent to about $15,200 per mile, and no subsidy is to be given' to any other road within 65miles of either side of the line. The subsidy is payable by mail advices to the 10th inst. had been received there from the city of Mexico, and that General Diaz had conceded the line to the Pacific coast to Mr. Palmer (Sullivan & Palmer), the line to El Paso to Mr. Symon (Mexican Central), and the road to Laredo to the Southern Pacific Company. This is slightly at variance with the contents of a telegram received by the Mexican Central people from their Chief Engineer, Mr. Schuyler. He telegraphs that his company has obtained concessions for a road to El Paso and to the Pacific Coast, and that the Government has signed the contract. If his statement as the correct, to the line to Pacific coast is it may be that the reference to General Palmer is intended to cover the grant which has been made to him of a line from Mexico to Nautla on the Gulf. Possibly, however, it means that 6 per cent of the receipts of all custom houses. This means that the importer has to pay 6 per cent of his cus¬ he has secured the further concession from Mexico to toms dues in Government paper to the railroad, such beingManzanilla on the Pacific. If this latter supposition be the mode of insuring the payment of subsidies, as explained correct, the Palmer interest has gained a through route in our former article. from the Gulf to the Pacific, which should be a valuable As regards the Sonora Railway, which, is being pushed franchise and a very useful feeder to the road to El Paso. All reports agree, however, as to one thing, and that is by the same parties, the Mexican Government has changed that the Mexican Central gets the line from El Paso to the the land subsidy to a money subsidy of $7,000 per kilome¬ city of Mexico. Virtually the contest was for the posses¬ ter, or about $11,200 per mile. The company had authority sion of this line. It is what the Palmer party wanted. It to build a line from Guaymas to the Arizona frontier—8& is what the Southern Pacific wanted.

It is not probable, however, that a railroad from El Paso, south to Chihuahua, will be built This leaves it certain that General Diaz has finally settled under this charter, as the Mexican Central will cover the the perplexing railroad question, although there may still ground and the subsidy in the case of the latter is $15,200. be doubts on minor points as to just how he settled it.

On the contrary, they are exceptional and peculiar ; and it is this exceptional and peculiar character of the situation which gives importance to the resignation and retirement of M. de Freycinet, and to the events public opinion. It may occasion reaction. It may precipitate revolt. In any case the execution of the obnoxious decree will give offence to millions of people in France—men and women who will hereafter associate the republic with persecuting and intolerant practices. It is evident from the tone of the public press in France that the sentiment of the better portion of the nation, is with M. de Freycinet; and there is much reason to fear that M. Gambetta, in pushing his principles, has overshot the mark and really injured the prospects of the republic. It is impossible to overlook the fact that with the fall of M. de Freycinet has passed away the last really effective check to the extreme or radical school of politicians, who have steadily, for years, been coming to the front, and who have now, to all appearance, the destinies not only of the republic but of France in their hands. This is the more to be regretted that they are wedded to a dangerous foreign policy. It is this which, even more than their do¬ mestic policy, is fitted to inspire alarm. There is the possibility that France may submit without open resistance to the closing of the institutions not authorized by law, and which have followed. that might be, another direct line into Mexico from tins country. To say this is to say nothing prejudicial to the prospects of the Mexican Central, for that road should command, besides the through business, a large and constantly in¬ creasing loc al traffic from the districts along its line, as aside from the advantages which the mines give it, the country is most favorable to raising sheep and producing wool. Moreover, the Laredo route is, up to this time, purely a matter of speculation, as it has never yet been surveyed The Mexican Central route, on the other hand, seems already assured. THE CRISIS IN FRANCE. politics, at no time uninteresting, are again in a very emphatic manner commanding the attention of the world. ' In ordinary circumstances there is nothing very remarkable in the resignation of a minister. But the cir¬ French in which cumstances France now finds itself cannot be called It has been evident for of some time that there was a want understanding between the Prime Minister and Gambetta, the man who, more than any other, during the last ten years, has held the destinies of France in his hands. Refusing the burden and responsibility of office himself, he has yet been greater and more powerful than any of the ministers or than any of the Presidents, who, during these years, have successively held office. His policy has been steady and persistent. An ardent and pronounced repub¬ lican, yet not in sympathy with the extreme forms of socialism, his aim has been to reconstruct the social and political fabric on a solid republican basis. W ith this end in view he has been the unfailing enemy of a temporizing or moderate policy, and has worked hard to drag France out of the ruts of imperialism and monarchy. The gov¬ a proper of M. Thiers and MacMahon ernments taste ; but it were not to his universally felt and admitted that the placed M. Grevy in the Presidential chair were a Gambettist triumph.

Grevy knows well that a Gambetta Ministry would be a warlike Ministry.” It is not wonderful that Germany should view with some uneasiness the present state of affairs in France and the unmistakable ascendancy of Gambetta in the to councils of the nation. France at and A renewal of the Germany would be a war between calamity to the world large. the situation is, and fitted to inspire alarm we are not wholly shut out the from hope that wise and peaceful counsels will in the end prevail.

T. B. Turley and Dr. A. T. Porter were the only members of the commission present. R. B. Snowden, John Overton, Jr., Judge John M. Lee, John R. Goodwin, F. S. Davis and F. S. Cossjtt were the only bond¬ holders who appeared. The proceedings were secret, and all information was subsequently refused, except that the com¬ mission has concluded their business here and that a satisfactory arrangement will probably be arrived at. —The Baltimore Sun states that at the meeting held last week in Baltimore. Receiver Latham reported the debt of Mem¬ phis, January 1, 1879, at $4,554,009. Taking the compromise bonds at their par value, $1,054,000, the total indebted¬ ness January 1, 1881, would be $5,600,000, or with interest $6,000,000. This, with other claims, would make it $6,600,000. The assets were nominally $1,400,000, which embraced back taxes for 22 years, and of which not more than $500,000 would be re¬ alized, leaving the total indebtedness of Memphis, January 1, 1881, at about $6,000,000. The assessed valuation of Memphis was $14,942,4S0, and $2,500,000 was delinquent for State, county and city taxes, the county and State taxes being a prior lien for nearly $527,000 before the city was paid. The question was, what amount’ of taxes could the property bear ? State and county taxes would be 75 cents and city taxes $1 50, and the utmost limit the property could bear was 3 per cent. When the old city government was repealed there was not a cent of public property. Since then they were getting their streets and sewers in working condition. The idea was to raise $100,000 or $120,000 each year, which would pay the interest on and provide a sinking fund for part of the debt. Anv settlement the bond-owners would agree to would suit, either to take a small bond with large interest or a large bond with short interest.

The net surplus over liabilities for the eight months of 1880 is reported by the company ju3t as we give it in the table below—at $1,879,249—but it is said to be an increase over the corresponding eight months of 1879 of $2,116,103. Our table for each month of 1879, however, compiled below, shows that there was then a net surplus of $99,952, making the gain this year only $1,779,297.

Richmond & Allegheny.—Work on this railroad between Richmond and Lynchburg is advancing rapidly. On Sept. 21 the road was opened for travel and traffic between Richmond and Maiden’s Adventure, 27 miles, between which points there has been no communication for several weeks owing to the closing of the canal. Rochester & State Line.—At Rochester, September 23, the suit of the City of Rochester against Isaac S. Waterman, of Philadelphia, Henry A. Taylor, Thomas Leighton, and others, to recover $600,000 for the non-delivery of that amount of the capital stock of the Rochester & State Line Railway Company, was decided against the city, and the complaint dismissed with The case was tried in May and submitted to the full costs. bench in July. Judge Rumsey rendered the decision. This case was mentioned last April as causing Mr. Vanderbilt’s with¬ drawal from the Directory of the State Line Road, which de¬ faulted on its interest payments in January, and is now in the hands of a Receiver—S. j. Macy. The road runs to Salamanca. Schuylkill Navigation Company.—The Philadelphia Ledger has the*following: Financial Editor of Public Ledger: Will you please answer a constant reader through the columns of your money article : 1. What are the general terms of the lease of the Schuylkill receivers of the Reading ? to be carried out by the present Inquirer. The lease of the Schuylkill Navigation property to the Phila¬ delphia & Reading Railroad Company is dated July 12, 1870, is for 999 years, and provides for the quarterly payment of an annual sum sufficient to pay full interest on all the indebted¬ ness of the lessor company and dividends of 1^ per cent on the preferred and % per cent on the common stock. The original rental was $655,000 per annum, which has, under the terms of the lease, been somewhat reduced by the reduction of some of the indebtedness of the Navigation Company. In addition to the obligations of the lease, the Philadelphia & Reading Rail¬ road Company directly guarantees the principal and interest of four of the loans of the Navigation Company, and guarantees the interest of two others; but there is no guarantee by the Railroad Company of any dividend to the shareholders of the Navigation Company beyond the covenant in the lease to pay a fixed rental, which is sufficient, if paid, to enable the Naviga¬ tion Company to declare the dividends above named. As the canal has for many years entailed a loss to the Reading Rail¬ road Company, we should presume that the present receivers (who have already furnished the means to pay the interest upon the first and second mortgage debts) would ask for some reduction of rental, which would necessarily be borne by the later bondholders and the shareholders. Shenandoah Valley.—This road is now in full operation Hagerstown to Milford, in Page County, Va. It is expected to connect with the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad at Waynesburg in December, and will thence go on to Lynchburg. At Hagerstown it unites with the Cumberland Valley Road, and thus with the main stem of the Pennsylvania Road. The new Shenandoah Valley Road is seventy-six miles long as already completed, and is designed to be eventually one hundred and forty-three miles in length. Thus there are two railroads now from ing with the Pennsylvania system.—Baltimore Sun. Tennessee State Bonds.—A press dispatch from Memphis, Sept. 21, says that, in the U. S.Circuit Court, Judge Ham¬ mond overruled a motion for the dismissal of suits against cer¬ tain railroads of the State made by the attorney representing the holders of Tennessee State bonds, deciding the defendants entitled to a hearing on the merits, and set the cases for trial next Monday. These cases bring up the responsibility of the State for a portion of the State debt, and practically involved the same questions argued before Judge Withey at Nashville last May, and still held under advisement by him. Titusville & Oil City.—This road, from Oil City to Petroleum Centre, on the opposite side of the river from the Pittsburg Titusville & Buffalo, has been completed. The new road has cost a little over $40,000, for though it is nine miles long it is laid with old rails, and there was very little grading left to be done, so that the cost of the sleepers and the labor were the principal items. Toledo Delphos & Burlington.—The last rail was laid Sep¬ tember 17 on this railroad, connecting Dayton and Versailles, a distance of fifty miles. This portion of the road will be bal¬ lasted and ready for use in a few weeks. Work is progressing rapidly on the remainder of the road, and by November will probably be completed to Toledo. Wabash St. Louis & Pacific.—A .special meeting of the Wabash stockholders has been called for November 20, at St. Louis, for the purpose of confirming certain important agree¬ ments these recently made by the directors. are Two of the principal of Railway of Canada, the use of .that road, with contracts with the Great Western whereby the Wabash is to secure the Delaware Lackawanna & Western and its Buffalo extension for the exchange of traffic. The agreement which occupies apparently the most signifi¬ cant place in the notice may also prove to be one of the most important—this is the contract with the Wabash St. Louis & Pacific Railway Company of Nebraska. This company is being organized for the purpose of constructing a road from some point on the Missouri River towards Red Cloud, about 200 miles west of that river. This road will enter the Republican Valley, and take away business from the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Company’s Nebraska line. The official notice to the Wabash St. Louis & Pacific stock¬ holders is as follows : A special meeting of the stockholders of this company will he held at the office of the company, at St. Louis, Mo., on Saturday, November 20, 1880, commencing at 10 o’clock A.

What interest does the Railroad Company guarantee to the holders of the preferred stock of the Schuylkill Navigation ? 3. When is the interest payable? 4.

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 the weekly movement from the plantations, of that part of the crop which finally reaches the market through the out-ports. than at the same period last year.

So far, there are no signs of what is termed a “ corner,” inasmuch as 44 contracts” are still lower in price than “ spots.” The late rise in prices is due, therefore, more to the than to the operations of speculators; and the present quotations for the better grades of American would action of " consumers have been witnessed even if less business had been done in A different state of futures. things would have existed if spinners had used a smaller proportion of the higher grades, which are scarce, and a larger proportion of the lower grades, which are plentiful; but it is evident that they have not found it compatible with their requirements and engagements to adopt this policy. Whether a corner shall be established or not before the end of the month remains to be seen. Every¬ thing depends upon the extent to which September deliveries are oversold, and on this point it is impossible to speak with authority. Meanwhile, spinners are purchasing as little cotton as possible, which is only another way of saying that they are rapidly using up their surplus stocks. Business in Manchester is also similarly temporarily circumscribed. This putting on of the brake, so to speak, will, no doubt, moderate tne advancing tendency of prices for the time being; but will not the removal of the brake also moderate the decline when the squeeze is over ? Touching the probabilities of supply and demand for the new season, we can only repeat what we stated last month, that with good trade a crop of 6,000,000 bales will be namely, wanted, 779.237 892,664 616,727 564,824 302,955 166,459 110,006 84,299 88,455 54,258 67,372 42,714 29,472 reoeipts Aug. 31 ..
