The

general outlook may be regarded as improving.
The crops are either harvested or out of danger; mer¬
chants have some basis upon which to calculate the proba¬
ble business of the season ; money is easy and likely to
continue so ; exchange, which has lately been quite firm,
is now a trifle weaker and, in the opinion of conservative
bankers, is almost certain to decline as the volume of
domestic exports increases ; railroad earnings continue
very satisfactory, and the August statements of the
Philadelphia &' Reading and the Pennsylvania, issued
this week, have been particularly favorable.
What
is now needful is confidence on the part of capitalists
and speculators in the future of the various markets, and
assurance that the liquidation in the several
branches of
trade is nearly at an end,
.This confid nice was, fora time, somewhat impaired this
week by the failures in the woolen trade.
The general
impression Lad been that the dry goods interest was on a
solid foundation, and that while business in that line had
suffered from the influences affecting all other trades, any
change was likely to be in the direction of improvement.

later

Boston, although directly caused by speculation, was laid
against the leather trade in general, and now this trouble
of the woolen houses is used as an argument to prove
that the dry goods trade is unsound.

reason why confidence should be unsettled by the events

are

those of the

Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia & Reading.
The
Pennsylvania on the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie
records a gain of $104,201 in gross, which is accompanied
for the first time in many months by a decrease in expenses
—noteworthy for that reason, though it amounts to only
$5,501—so that net earnings exhibit a gain of $105,702
over
August, 1SS2. That does not appear very large in
itself, but its significance lies in the fact that both gross
and net earnings last August were extraordinarily heavy.
The gain in gross then was$SGl,20l and in net-$588,350.
In both cases this has, it will be seen, been improved upon
this year, and the net earnings of $2,142,022 for August,
1883, compare with net of only $1,444,504 in August,
When the failures were first announced, many were super¬ 1881, an increase of nearly 50 per cent in two years.

against $1,171,299 in August 1882, an apparentgain
of $881,279; but out of this should be taken the net earn¬
ings ($091,121) of tiie Central of New Jersey, which are
included in this year’s total, but not in last year's, and that
would leave the actual gain over 1882 $190,155. The net
earnings in the latter year, it should be said, were about
$17,000 above those of 1881, so that the present improve¬
ment is continuous, and not merely a recovery of what
was lost in 1882.
In addition to the gain of $190,155 on
its own lines this year, the Reading also realized a profit
(according to 'the report) of $239,081 on the Central of
New Jersey lease above the rental paid the same, which
makes the total increase over August, 1882, $429,236.
The Erie has also published a statement this week, but it
covers only the month of June.
This shows a small loss
($70,139) in net as compared with the corresponding month
year,

further offset to this we have the
gain in the provisions exports, which for August, 1883,
aggregated $12,060,061, against only $6,237,317 in 1882.
It is scarcely reasonable to dook for large imports of
gold so long as our breadstuffs exports remain small, and
the cotton movement is not heavy.
Still many bankers
expect the influx to begin early in November, though even
the most sanguine admit that the import will be light,
unless indeed there should be a good demand from
Europe for American securities, which at the moment does
not seem likely.
As we have previously stated, there is a
steady inquiry from.abroad for first-class American rail¬
road properties, but recent events here have tended to dis¬
courage purchases of purely speculative stocks.

lowing shows relative prices of leading bonds and railroad

event

of the week has been the reduction of the

England rate of discount from 3} per cent, at
which it has remained for a fortnight, to 3 per cent.
That action,
however, was not unexpected.
Money
has been ruling at about 2-J per cent in the open market
for the past two or three weeks, and as the Bank has
steadily gained bullion notwithstanding the reduced rate
and as it is now in a strong position in this respect, the
maintenance of a rate more than 1 per cent above that in
the open market was entirely unnecessary.
Under the
operation of the 4 per cent rate the Bank gained nearly 3 J
million pounds bullion, and it is scarcely reasonable to
expect that it will lose that amount by shipments to foreign
countries in payment for needed breadstuffs in the
immediate future.
Should, however, the drain upon the
institution be greater than is now expected, an advance in
the rate of discount can easily be made.
Exchange has been firm, in consequence of the scarcity
of commercial bills, though at the close yesterday the
tone was 'e little less strong.
The demand from bankers
lias been sufficiently large to absorb all the offerings.
The reduction of the Bank of England rate caused a lower-,
ing of the nominal price for sight sterling on Thursday,
and on Friday, as already stated, the market was some,
what weaker.
The inquiry for bills to cover drafts made
sixty days or more ago, to which we alluded last week
shows indications of abating, and some renewals have
been made, so that it is probable that very shortly the
demand will become less urgent.
Then the course of
the market is expected to be downward, but this depends
upon the export movement of staples.
Now cotton and
breadstuffs are ruling relatively higher here than abroad,
not so much because of speculative manipulation in this
country as in consequence of a steady decline in prices
in Europe, the depression in cotton manufactures affecting
that staple and the abundant supply of breadstuffs, augmented from the European harvests, causing a fall in wheat.
Very likely Europe will have to buy freely of our wheat

Money on call continues unchanged, but there is a little
better inquiry for time loans, although not sufficiently
urgent to make any material change in the rates. The
movement of money to the interior this week appears to
have been in part to near-by points, a fair amount going
eastward.

four years.
It is a composition of ocean lines, river

Ocean, the Columbia, Willamette and Snake Rivers, and
the railroad lines in Oregon and Washington Territory,
constitute the field of its operations.

firms so freely indorsed for one another was, and had been, for
a long time in the
open market, and was distributed to banks
everywhere throughout tiie neighboring States, and even iii
the Western cities.
No bank ever takes
very largely of the
same names in the class of
paper that is negotiated almost
entirely through bill brokers. But, aside from this, there is
no reason to presume that the losses on
any of this paper will
be heavjg
The makers and indorsers all have large amounts
of property, and, barring the
delay in turning this into
money, the creditors, it is believed, are not likely to suffer
greatly.
Notwithstanding the active demand in the West and South
for currency in connection with the
marketing of the 'crops,
the increase of loans of the New York
banks, the decrease of
their surplus reserve, etc., there is as
yet no appearance of a
diminution in the large supply of money for call loans on
collaterals of railway stocks at 2 to
2% per cent per annum.
Even for sixty-day and four months’ loans on the same col¬
laterals, the supply at 5 per cent per annum remains ap¬
parently undiminished. There has been no change in the
nominal rates of discount of mercantile
paper from 5% and
C for first-class double-name
paper for GO days and four months
and G and 7 per cent for first-class
single names. It is, how¬
ever. generally known that
paper must bear the closest scru¬
tiny to be discounted at all.
The superabundance of capital
for loan on collaterals, while
it is so slow to go into any more
permanent kind of invest¬
ment. shows that the distrust referred to last
week, in view of
the increase of fixed capital in
railways, mills, factories, coal
mines, iron foundries, etc., in the last few years, is still an in¬
fluence of considerable importance.
Capital is awaiting the
outcome of the investments
already made in that form of
property.
The Bank of England this week reduced its rate of
discount
to 3 per cent, from
3%' per cent last week, and at which it had
remained since September 12, on which date it was reduced to
3% per cent, from -1 per cent, the rate that had prevailed since
May 10. The Bank gained £127,000 in bullion and the per¬
centage of reserve to liabilities was increased to 41% per cent
from 4G% per cent last week, and as
compared with 22 7-1G
on May 10.
This great cliaiige since May in the condition of the
Bank has been the result of a
purpose to prepare for a possible
export movement of specie to the United States this winter.
The weekly statement of the Bank of France showed
an
increase of 1,225.000 francs in

State and Railroad Bonds.—During the first few days
of the past week the market for railroad bonds was dull and

weaker, and the tendency of prices was downward, though
not largely so except in a few cases. The heaviest decline was
4 per cent in Richmond & Danville debentures on the
publica¬
tion of the company's circular
showing that net earnings
had been applied to the purchase of new
equipment, and for
betterments, &c. Subsequently, however, these bonds recov¬
ered to the extent of 2% per cent, and close at
58%. In the
latter part of the week the general market for railroad
bonds was better and the tendency of prices was
upward.
The range of fluctuations for the
principal issues in the
seven
days was as follows, viz.: Central Pacific gold Gs
at llljg,
112% 5 Denver Sc Rio Grande consols at 85,
89%, 88%: Denver & Rio Grande "Western first Gs at

Railroad and Miscellaneous Slocks.—The stock market

during the last week has felt the effects of

the

developments

in connection with the Northern Pacific
Company's affairs.
The main point in this is that the cost of the railroad and its

equipment

to have been under-estimated by some
.$12,000,000. The knowledge of this fact caused
a large
selling of all the Villard stocks, and this, to some ex¬
tent. depressed tlie whole market,
though it is to he re¬
marked that the regular dividend payers were
much
less affected than other properties.
Tn the last three days,

810,000,000

or

however, there has been

pretty general recovery. The result
Friday the 28th, quite a number of stocks
are higher than on
Friday the 21st. The following are lower,
viz.: Northern Pacific common,.
1%: do. preferred. 3%;
Oregon & Trans-Continental, 4%: Lackawanna, 1%: Missouri
Pacific, 1% ; Western Union, % : Kansas & Texas. %.
Those that are higher are Louisville & Nashville, 1; Reading,
%, and'other stocks fractionally.
Friday afternoon the market was adversely affected by the
report of a proposed issue of 15 millions new bonds by the
Northern Pacific, to cover floating debt and furnish additional
equipment. It has not yet been announced wliat form of
obligation the new issue will take

RAILROAD
The Call

INTELLIGENCE.

Net Earnings.—The

subject of railroad reports
periods has again been brought up in a
practical shape for discussion by the action of the Railroad
Commissioners in this State. It is hardly good policy for the
railroad officers to assume an autocratic position in regard to
corporation management, and claim that the State can do noth¬
ing to regulate their affairs. It is rather their policy to distin¬
guish between good and bad measures; between fair and unfair
legislation; so that when they make a stand on any point the
respectable part of the community and of the Legislature will
be with them. When a selfish policy induced the western
grangers to legislate against the railroads in their districts,
and compel them to make rates which would drive them to
insolvency, rational men saw the injustice of it, and
a
public outciy was raised against such unreasonable
legislation. But in regard to reports the case is pre¬
cisely the otiuir way, and nine out of ten of the reasonable
business men of the community feel that the railroad com¬
panies ought to make reports monthly, or at least quarterly,
of their gross and net earnings, and at stated periods of their
financial condition. The argument that to do so might create
a panic is the weakest for the companies that could possibly
be made, and can hardly be considered in any other light than
as a lawyer’s joke, since it is obvious that there is no one thing
which would do more to prevent panics in particular stocks
than full, frequent and timely information as to the affairs of
their companies.
The railroad officers should also consider what class of people
calls for the reports of earnings and finances. It is
now
not the farmers, grangers, cattle raisers, &c., but the members
of the Stock Exchanges, who are both personally and for their
customers, the representatives of great wealth, of conservative
ideas and of practical views about all matters of business.
The
Stock Exchange ought, indeed, to take up the matter itself on
this favorable opportunity, and by the employment of able
counsel pres-s it now to the utmost, until the reports are
obtained under the existing law, or until a new law is procured
under which the reports can be obtained.
As a matter of fact, the whole business of stock speculation,
n the absence of any definite knowledge about
the companies,
is a game of the insiders against the outsiders-^the selling or
buying of a commodity by parties who know what they are
handliug, to or from other parties who know nothing about it
Take any stock to-day as an example ; take the most active
speculative stock of the list among the dividend payers—
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern.
What do outsiders know
about the present financial condition of. this company? Since
its alliance with the Nickel-plate in the latter part of 1S82 the
company is occupying an altogether new position ; its direct
liabilities are increased about $450,000 per year for interest
the bonds issued to acquire
on
that road, but more
important than this is the question of paying interest
the $29,000,000 of bunds of the new road, amount¬
on
ing to some $1,7S0,0G0 per year. There are also two
newlines now running east from Chicago, not operated in
1S82, which must divert a certain share of the traffic from old
roads. On the other hand, let it be supposed that the acquisi¬
tion of Nickel-plate has been a bonanza—profitable far beyond
expectations—and that the income from this property is likely
for

to be made at stated

to make

Lake Shore stock worth

150.

In

either

case

the

argument is the same ; the position of the company is entirely
changed; the outside stockholders * of the company know
nothing of its financial condition since Dec. 31, 1882 ; and
will know nothing again till May, 1SS4, when they will get the
annual report for 1883. In the meantime those having inside
knowledge will have every inducement to uphold or depress
the stock, according as they desire to unload or to increase
their holdings.
Lake Shore is merely taken as an example; there is nothing
peculiar in its case, and three-quarters of the stocks on the List
£re relatively in a like position. Is it reasonable that where
such immense moneyed interests are at stake as are daily
involved in the Stock Exchange transactions, this old method
of light on one side and darkness on the other should be
longer continued?
If any effort is to be made for reports of earnings, let it be

earnings
than no
reports at all, since the operating expenses vary so widely as
to change the net results.
At the present time in 1883 there is
no point connected with the reports of railroad earnings or
greater interest than the question as to what the operating
expenses tor the year will turn out to be.
In all discussions upon this subject it should be understood
that the requirements of the law shall be made such as to time
and minor details as the railroad companies cau fairly comply
with.
Upon this point the following communication from an
officer of a prominent company is quite pertinent :
“

Permit me to call your attention to an important distinction wiiicli
appears to have been entirely overlooked by the writer of the article
in your issue of Sept. 22. as bearing upon the time required for furnish¬

ing reports which include a general balance sheet. While it is quite
true that monthly statements of the total earnings can be furnished
without any difficult}', even on large roads, within six weeks, provided
a proper method is adopted for estimating business from other roads
whose reports are delayed, the completion of the general balance sheet
is a very different matter. The total earnings and expenses can be, and
on most roads usually are,-correctly ^ascertained from the reports of
agents and others some days before the necessary entries are made in
tin* appropriate books; but a general balance sheet, especially if it has
to be sworn to, cau only be made up after the whole months’business
has been entered up and posted to the various accounts, and the same
exactly balanced.
“There is a vast amount of labor requiredMn this latter class of work,
and it does not admit of being divided up among a number of clerks
like the making up of the earnings and expenses.
After many years’ experience with some of the largest roads, I have
no hesitation in saying that for roads having a large mileage ami a com¬
plicated s} stem, six weeks is not a sufficient allowance for the rendering
of reports with a sworn balance sheet, and that two months would be
only a moderate and reasonable allowance.”

ANNUAL

REPORTS.

Cincinnati Indianapolis S'. Louis & Chicago Railway,

(For the

year

.

ending Jane 30, 1883.)

The President, Mr. M. E Ingalls, remarks in his annual
report that at the date of writing the last, report “the rebuilding
of the road between Lawrenceburg Junction and Sunmans was
in progress.
It had been so badly damaged by successive floods
that it was found, as the work proceeded, to be much more of
a task than was anticipated.”
* * * “ The estimated cost of
this work, less old material, and not charging for transporta¬
tion of materials over our own line, was $2>9,6S9, of which
#

charged to construction and the balance to
In doing this, work, and hauling the material for
same, there was much delay to the regular traffic of the road,
in consequence of which much-of the legitimate business of the
company was, for a time, diverted to other lines.”
* * * la
March, April May and June “ the earnings steadily increased,
so that for the entire year the gross receipts from traffic were
$2,541,779, against $2,463,696 for the previous year. The in¬
crease came chiefly from new traffic thrown on our line by the
opening of the Vernon Greensburg & Rushville and Kankakee

from local stations.
We suffered a large decrease in earnings
from the breakage of the line by floods, and in the light ship¬
ments of corn, occasioned by the short crops of 1881 and 1882

line and connections, and the abundant crop of the
irTtlie South; both causes working against our line.” * * *
“The operating expenses for the year were $1,591,499; in¬
cluded in this amount is the item of $99,709 for repairs of
bridges, and $277,361 for repairs of track, including rails and
ties; of these two items it is estimated that $130,000 is due to
extraordinary expenses caused by Hoods.” * * * “ The net
earnings, after paying these extraordinary expenses, were
$950,289; deducting extraordinary expenses they would have
been $1,0S0,000. This is the income from traffic alone, and does
not, include receipts from the new passenger station in Cincin¬
nati, the grain elevator, coal elevator, the Kankakee & Seneca
I»ll, or any rental from lands.” * * 1 * “The profit and loss
account, after being charged with four and one-half (4/2) p#r
cent dividends, accrued bond interest, and sundry balanes,
shows a gain during the year of $35,151, Laving a credit
balance of $353,644, which is the amount that has been invested
in branch roads and improvements that are not represented on
the books of the company by bonds or.stock.” * * *
The passenger station at Cincinnati is finished, and is being
used by the Cincinnati Washington & Baltimore Railway, the
Ohio & Mississippi Railway, the Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati
& Indianapolis Railway, and our own company. The office
building is well under way, and will be completed during the
year.
The estimated cost of finishing is $201,500, of which
$100,000 is due the company from various companies and indi¬
viduals, and $101,500 must be provided from cuirent receipts.
The pools existing with other lines between Cincinnati, Indian¬
apolis and Chicago have been ended, and agreements for the

The management deeply regret the necessity of passing the
July dividend. The unforeseen casualties of the past year
necessitating the enormous outlay for extraordinary repairs

have largely cut down the net earnings, and your directors

of $673,472, to be provided for before dividends could be

goods trade is however financially sound, owing to the very*
cautious and conservative policy that has been pursued by merchants in all parts of tlie country for a long time past.
Domestic Cotton Goods —The exports of cotton goods for
the wreek were 0,710 packages, including 5,207 to China, 48C to
Great Britain, 349 to United States of Colombia, 128 to Santo
Domingo, 103 to Mexico and smaller shipments to other desti¬
nations.
The main features of the market are unchanged- The
demand at first hands was steady but moderate, and the jobbing
trade,exhibited less animation. Production is still curtailed by
the water famine in wide sections of New E gland, and this has
imparted more steadiness to values of plaid andcolored cottons,
some additional makes of which have slightly advanced.
Print
cloths were in light demand a'nd a fraction lower, say 3 ll-16c.
less }o per cent f<>r 01x64>, and 3 5-ltie, asked for 56x60s. Aside
from indigo-blues—which continued in good request—calicoes
were somewhat quiet, and
ginghams were lightly* dealt in by
package buj*ers, though a fair business was done by jobbers..
Domestic Woolen Goods.—The failure of prominent clothing
houses and cloth jobbers, alluded to above, had a depressing
effect upon the market for meiTs-wear woolens in the early
part o! the week ; but there was subsequently a fair demand
for duplicate parcels of heavy cassimeres, &c., and further
orders for spri :g worsteds, suitings, &c., were placed with
agents representing popular mak^s. Fine cloakiDgs and ladies’
cloths were in steady request, but the lower grades were slug¬
gish. Jersey cloths were a trille less active, though iu fair
demand, and there was a light business in satinets, Kentucky
jeans and repellents. Flannels continued in steady demand
and firm (stocks being in very good shape\ but there was
only
a limited inquiry for bed or horse blankets.
Dress goods, as
all-wool suitings and sackings, cashmeres and fancy worsted
fabrics were moderately active, and a fairly good trade was
done in woolen shawls and carpets at steady prices.
Foreign Dry Goods were in irregular demand, and while a
few specialties were taken with comparative freedom the
general market was rather quiet. Fine dreis silks met with a
good deal of attention and were moved in small lots to a fair
amount, but low grades were sluggish. Trimming velvets con¬
tinued fairly active and steady in pi ice, and fair sales of vel¬
veteens and velvet libbons were reported.
Dress goods and
cloaking were moderately active, but there was only a limited

dry goods ha3 shown less activity the past
week, and yet a very fair business was done in most of the
wholesale branches of the trade, considering the exceptionally
large movement that has lately taken place. The cotton goods
commission houses have experienced a steady demand (by per¬
sonal selection and through the medium of orders) and a fairly
satisfactory distribution for staple and department goods was
made by leading jobbers. The woolen goods market was some¬
what disturbed for a time by the failure of several wholesale
clothing houses and cloth jobbers, caused by the methods of
doing business and outside enterprises.
