London, Saturday, September 12, 1885,
The course of events, commercial and financial, during the
week has been such as to increase the hope that the improvement apparently in progress will be real and not imaginary.
Indications are still for a quiet development and not for a
"boom," but as the marketa gain strength, so will they ex
hibit greater animation, and as profits are secured speculation
will become more general and lifelessness will give place to
busy activity. It is, however, in the hardware trades that the
encouraging symptoms are as yet principally witnessed.
Already pig iron is being speculatively purchased, and more
inquiries are reported amongst manufacturers. So far the
wool and cotton trades have not felt the improvement. The
wool sales are indeed progressing with even less animation
than they opened and prices remain weak. Cotton also does
not appear to be well supported. But there can be no que8<

as an auspicious augury. Some rather ominous growls have
been heard from the Spanish Peninsula, but the evident determination of Germany to avoid a quarrel and smooth over present diflficulties will destroy an opportunity for fostering internal troubles. Hence at the moment there is no apparent reason
why the political world should be disturbed. The relation^

Firmer advices are reported from abroad, ami although values
here have not improved, a hnrdeninc tendency ia certainly
developing. Wheat is better held. There is not that rush to
sell which was expected. There is a dispoeition in fact to hold
out for better prices. Competent authorities whose estimates
are mostly correct atlirm that the growth of wheat throughout the greater part of the world will fail to meet the reipiirc-mentti by about 9,000,000 (juarters of wheat and its e<iuivaleiit
in flour. Supplies held here in the principal ports of the United
Kingdom are not nearly so heavy as was calculated upon, and it
is believed are only about half a million quarters more than they
were at this time last year. Clearly, therefore, we shall have
to import freely. Whatever we reijuire we shall of course
obtain, but what we shall have to pay for it is another matter.
The imperial average price of home-grown wheat for the week
ended September 5 waa 33s. 4d., or Is. lid. per quarter less
than for the corresponding period last season. But this difference ought gr.idually to disappear, and it will bo a matter for
surprise if before long prices do not show an advance over
last season.
In 1884 the prospects of supply gave promise
that quotations would steadily recede, and the result proved

the correctness of anticipations. Now the reverse is the case.
Last year there waa no indication of deficiency but rather of
superabundance. The 1885-86 season, however, promises shorter
supplies.
At the same time growers would do well not to
entertain too sanguine views as to the probable advance, as
any material rise may cause some supplies to be unearthed,
the existence of which was not suspected.
The following return shows the extent of the imports of

The Money Market and Financial Sitnation.—The past
of comparatively little
animation in AVall
and the main topic of discussion has been the meeting
of the trunk line presidents on Tuesday. There can be little
doubt that the rates over these lines will finally be advanced,
notwithstanding the many disappointments that stockholders
h*ve met with on this subject in the past year.
In some respects the trunk line situation between Chicago
and New York appears to be the strongest, inherently, of any
in the country. The business between the East and West is
Street,
always on the increase, except so far as this progress may be
checked by an isolated year of bad crops or mercantile depresThen, there are only four roads west from BuSalo, of
sion.
which three are under Vanderbilt
Grand Trunk, is presumably in need
control,
and the fourth.
of all the earnings
can
it
make, so that its managers are not likely to take the lead in
cutting rates.
Heuce it is evident, that after navigation closes
on the canal and lakes, the railroad situation, when the several
trunk lines are actually in harmony, becomes very strong. The
fact has been too palpable during the twelve months just past,
that the trunk line managers were not in harmony, and on the
part of some of thent there was no desire to have rates restored.
While the oiitlooii for railroad basincss in 1886 seems to be
good, the railroads are hampered for the lime being by several
difficulties which have been carried forward from the recent
bad times, chief among these being the low rates for frcijjht
and passenger.s, and the unavoidable circumstance that where
contracts have been made with shippers the low rates cannot
be changed till the contracts have expired.
At the West the railroads are also met with the trouble that
wheat and corn are ruling at such low iigures that farmers will
not ship freely nnd as to wheat, it has been conspicuous for
fiome time ])a.st that the glut in dealers" hands, reported mainly
in the " visible supply," has been so large as to keep the price
down, and prevent the farmers from getting what benefit they
ought to have from the small crop of 1885.
Rates for call loans durina the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged at 1@3 '])er cent and to-day at 1@3 per
cent.
Prime commercial paper is quoted at 3@4J per cent.
The Bank of Eagland weekly statement on Thursday showed
'a loss in specie of £489,315, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities
was 41 11-16, against 42 J last week; the discount
rate remains at 2 per cent. The Bank of Prance gained 3,865,000
francs in gold and 2,143,000 francs iu silver.
The New York Clearing House banks, in their statement of
Sept. 19, showed a decrease in surplus reserve of |2,622,975,
the total surplus being $47,177,925, against 149,800,900 the
previous week.
The following table shows the changes from the previous
week and a comparison with the two preceding years in the
averages of the New York Clearing House banks.

been irregular, with only moderate fluctuations from day to
day, and prices have been influenced as much by the operations
of speculators and the supposed ]>osition of certain leading
operators, as by outside condiiions bearing upon stock values.
The opening on Saturday Sept, 19 was somewhat strong, in
which the coal shares were conspicuous, under an impression
that there was some improvement in coal business, and trunkline stocks also improved on the prospect of an advance in
This advance was lost on Monday, however,
freight rates.
when free selling and bear pressure caused a general decline,
since which time the market has followed an irregular course.
The trunk line presidents met on Tuesday and adopted a resolution to advance freight rates, and they are to meet again on Thursday Oct, 1 to act on plans submitted by the general freight agents.
This has strengthened the Vanderbilt stocks and Erie stock
and bonds, but as to these and other stocks it has been observed
lately that each advance of 1@2 per cent or more has been followed by free selling, which carried prices down. Lackawanna
has been a leader in activity, and since the advance early in the

Of dividends he remarks: " No dividend was paid during
the year because it Wtos deemed best to apply the net earnings
to the reduction of the floating debt. If the net earnings, as
heretofore, hid been divided among the shareholders, three
per cent could have been paid upon the capital stock, which,
with one exception, is as much as was paid in any year since
1873 when no dividend

In conclusion the President says: "The gross revenue has
been maintained by the encouragement of local enterprise.',
and by the purchase and construction of branch roads which
act as feeders to the main line. The policy should be continued, and whenever the present floating debt can be
extinguished by the sale of the assets now held by this company, which are amply sufficient to do so, and the requisite
financial arrangements can be made, the Lebanon Branch
should be extended twenty miles to Carthage; the McMinnville Branch, six miles, to the Bon Air Coal Fields; the Fayetteville Branch, twenty-five miles, from Elora to Huntsville, and
the Jasper Branch up the Sequatchie Valley. No one familiar
with the products and resources of the country through which
these proposed extensions will pass can doubt but that they
would be paying investments, besides adding largely to the
business of the main line."

Paclflc Mail Steamshi|) Company.— Commissioner of Railroads John.ston has received from C. P. Huntington, of the
Central Pacific Railroad, an answer to his inquiry concerning
the payment of subsidies to the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. Mr. Huntington forwards a copy of an agreement entered into by all the Pacific railroads to give the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company $85,000 or its equivalent in
freight every month. This last agreement is dated June,
1885, and differs from the agreements already on file in the
Commissioner's office in that it embraces other roads than the
Central and Union Pacific. Mr. Huntington maintains that
the combination was formed for the interest of all concerned,
and that the roads could not get along without it.
The receipts of the company from traffic are said to be
about $-30,000 per month, leaving about ijioo.OOO to be paid in
cash. The Boston Herald says that of thi.s the Union Pacific
pays 54 per cent and the Centril Pacific 46 per cent, hut both
of these companies are reimbursed by the other Pacific lines
who are parties to the arrangement, in the proportion of
traffic as shown by the Western Trunk Line Association.
The actual cash payments of the Union Pacific Company are
whittled down by reimbursement to $12,000 or $14,000 per
month. The net casli payments of the Central Pacifit; is not
known, but is believed to be somewhat larger. The Government has no jurisdiction over the non-subsidized roads, and
the amount of loss to the Pacific Mail from a suspension of
payments by the roads enjoying Government subsidy would
not he large. The baneful result would rather come, if at till,
through the disruption of the agreement between the Pacific
Mail and the railroad lines.

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.
Friday Night,
Sept. 35, 1885,
The weather has been unseasonably cold during most of the
past week in all latitudes, and at some points in the North
snow has fallen, giving an uausually early foretaste of winter.
But fine weather has followed, and a genial autumn season
looks reasonable again and is anticipated. The improvement
in general trade, which we have recently noticed, gains force
with its progress. The great depression in coal has been partially removed, and manufacturers are more fully employed.
Still there is no speculation in goods, and apparently little
advance in prices is anticipated. That they have ceased to
lose money is, with vast numbers of business men, sufficient
cause for congratulation, and moderate profits are accepted
Bailroad Bonds Carrying Overdue Interest— There are
a number of mortgage bonds now selling at the Exchanges
which carry overdue coupons going with the bonds at the
chase price. For the convenience of buyers the list below
been compiled, showing the percentage of overdue and
unpaid interest on all the principal bonds sold at the
Exchanges, on which there is an existing and unsettled default
on one or more coupons. The purport of this list should be
clearly understood, as it does not apply to accrued interest on
running coupons that are not yet due nor does it include
those bonds on which a settlement of some sort has been
offered and presumably accepted, as, for instance, the Texas &
Pacific, Rio Grande Division, and some other bonds, on which
with satisfaction.
half cash and half scrip are paid at each coupon period. The
Lard futures have further declined in the past week. The
coupons overdue are given as of October 1, since the present
date is so near that period. The point of the matter is simply free receipts from the West, to deliver on October contracts,
this that when a buyer pays 68 for an Erie 2d consol. bond, have caused a severe pressure to sell, under which prices have
or 80 for a Richmond & Danville debenture mortgage bond,
given way. The close this afternoon is at 6'16c. for October,
his price carries with it in the first case 9 per cent, and in the
6*24c. for November, 6'28o. for December. 6"37c. for January

The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
has shown considerable spirit at times during the past week,
and the fluctuations in prices have taken a wider range. The
violent storm which was raging on the Texas coast at the date
of our last was followed, over the whole cotton-growing
region, by a temperature unseasonably low. An advance ia
silver at London has been attended by rather better reports
from Manchester, but the war-cloud on the Turkish frontier,
with a decline in British consols, was somewhat of a counteracting influence. On Saturday and Monday the market was
buoyant with a considerable outside interest purchasing for
the advance, but on Tuesday the Roumelian troubles and the
decline in consols caused a sharp fall. On Wednesday the
advance in silver and the severe weather caused renewed
buoyancy.
Yesterday an irregular and unsettled decline
occurred, under the renewal of warlike advices from the
Continent and better weather at the South. To-day futures
opened weak, but toward the close showed rather more
strength. Cotton on the spot was mo<lerately active for home
consumption, and prices were fully sustained for old cotton,
but the new crop was offered ]-i@%c. below regular figures,
and September short notices declined, giving a very unsettled
market. To-day there was no change, middling uplands closing

Weatheb Reports by TELEORAPn.—The equinoctial storm
has passed over the South the p ist week, and very heavy rains
have fallen at many points, mainly in sections bordering on the
Gulf and on tlie Atlantic. The rainfall at Galveston was nearly
10 inches, but the storm did not extend into the interior or do
much harm in the St ite except near the coast. With these
exceptions the crop situation appears to be unchanged, and
picking is making good progress.
Galveston, Texas. It rained tremendously on three days
in the early part of the week, but the latter portion has been
clear and pleasant.
The rainfall reached nine inches and
ninety-two hundredths. The thermometer has averaged 77,
ranging from 70 to 84.
Indianola, Texas. Wo have had hard rain (equinoctial
storm) on three d.iys of the week, the rainfall reaching five
inches and seven hundredths. The rains did not extend into
the interior, so no serious damage has been done. The thermometer has ranged from 7 1 to 86, averaging 70.
Palestine, Texas. It has been showery on three days of
the week, the rainfall reaching fifty-six hundredths of an
inch. Picking is progressing finely. Average thermometer
75, highest 86, lowest 60.
Huntsville, Texas. We have had rain on three days of
the week, the rainfall reaching one inch and thirty-seven
hundredths. Picking has been partially interrupted by the
rains.
The thermometer has averaged 7(5, the hijjhtst being
88 and the lowest 64.
Luting, 2'e.vas We have had showers on two days of tlie
week, the rainfall reaching twenty-live hundredths of an inch.
Picking makes good progress. The thermometer has averaged 78, raiii-int; from 6'J to 90.

Keceipts from tub Plantations.—The following table is
prepared for the purixjse of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantation.s. Receipts at the outporta are sometimes misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
like the following.
that the.se 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 outports.

East India Crop. The following is from the Bombay
Prices Current of August 18
' From the Chamber of Commerce telegraphic summary of the district
crop and wiatlier reports published to-day, it appears that with the
exception of Kattiwareuough rain for the present has fallen evoy where
and fine weather is generally wanted. In all probability the heavy

rainfall ot the past
few days will be followed by an int(Tval of fine
excess ot moisture just now will not do

Ark.\ns.^ Cotton Crop, A dispatch to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, dated Little Rock, September 18, says
:
" Reports from a majority of the cotton-growing counties ot the State
show that the cotton crop is turning out better than was anticipated
three weeks ago. The yield is good, both iu the uplands and bottoms,
e.Kcept in some localities where the plant was injured by drouth, aud
many planters are making the second pieking of the crop. Wet weather
has retarded gathering, but has not, so far as learned, caused material
damage."

Co.:
Sirs.— Since iiy last the weather has kept extremely damp, consequently favorable for the development of the cotton plant. The pro.'i.
pects of barve.'-t are still very satisfactory ; however, tlie opinion that
we shall not have more than 3,i)00,000 or 4,000,000 cantars maximum
is contlrmed and is geaeral.
The Nile is still high, but the abundance of water is no longer of importance for the uiainteuauce ot the plant, it having no need for more
if the increase of the Nile was watched now it woi\ld be from fear of an
Inundation, this fear hitherto has been but sligUt ihls year, tlie dikes
having been everywhere very well taken care of, and the Nile, although
having risen rapidly, has not gone above the level of 1883; iu fact.
It is even lower than in 1883 and at the level of 18^2.
Uence there
has been nothing to fear ou that score.
It is confirmed that the crop is at least a week Inadva-oeof last
year's; and the reason why we have not had more important arrivals
during the last Iwo weeks of August is entirely because of the course
of prices.
There has been during late months almost apanio in the villages
among the small Greek merchants who usuallj' have advanced money
to the fellahs tor the crop planted the greater part are nearly ruined,
and the decline in prices in Alexandria and iu Liverpool has exceeded
;
expectations. Now this last summer these Greeks have generally held back, aud very few advances have been made to the fellahs.

cassimerea having been placed by wholesale clothiers. Heavy
clothing woolens were only in moderate request, but fair

in steady demand, and leading makes are stiflly held at the
