The Treasury should not be open even to the suspicion
of helping operations in Wall Street; and if it would be
free from this suspicion it must not deviate from a policy,
once announced, except
the public good requires it. Its
action on a question of serious public import should never
long be problematical or a matter of conjecture. On
account of customs, internal revenue and other receipts
the Government absorbs at present, it is estimated, from a
million to a million and a quarter a day.

THE FINANCIAL SITUA TION.
The probable action of the
Secretary of the Treasury
surplus funds at his command, is
attracting a good deal of attention in business circles at
present. It is not known yet when the Secretary will an¬
nounce his policy.
There would probably be no necessity
for any action
looking towards a release of some portion
of the
large amount of money now accumulated in the
Treasury, had not Mr. Windom been somewhat over-zealous
in his efforts successfully to execute his plan for the con¬
tinuation of the maturing bonds at 3^ per cent. The sum
of 75 millions of the
registered 5s, it will be re¬
membered,' was originally reserved for cash payment out
of the
surplus revenues, but the Secretary was induced to
extend the time for the
receipt of these bonds and to
accept a larger amount of them. Had the circular of the
Treasury been strictly adhered to, there would thus have
been 75 millions instead of'30 millions of
registered 5s due
October. 1st. This error is to be deplored, giving, as it
does, point to the claim that Mr. "Windom should rectify
^ by
making purchases of bonds at least to an amount
sufficient to release from the
Treasury, say, 45 millions—

Secretary hit upon a plan for more nearly and
more quickly equalizing receipts and expenses ?
At any
rate, a policy should be definitely matured, publicly
announced and rigidly adhered to.
It is not right that
business men should be compelled to live in dread of the
sudden liberation or the indefinite imprisonment of- 50 or
100 millions of the money of the country.
We have in previous articles referred to the rumor that
Mr. Windom intends to call in for redemption a portion
of the extended bonds.
It now seems probable that this
rumor was given currency mainly for the purpose of elicit¬
ing an expression of opinion as to the policy of such a course.
It has been shown that it would be unwise, to say the
least, for the Secretary to call these bonds so soon after
they had been extended.
Holders of the bonds who did
not assent to the proposition of Mr. Windom are now
receiving interest at the rate of 5 per cent over one month
in advance, while the savings institutions, banks and
other
parties who have
extended their bonds,
and new investors who have paid as high as 103J for
continued 5s, are liable to 30 days’ notice, and then receive
only par and interest. For the Secretary, therefore, to call
in the extended bonds would be in the highest degree unjust
to the holders, who, in most cases, accepted the lower
interest merely because they thought the new bonds
would have a comparatively long time to run.

as the exhibition to be

Atkinson in the

extraordinary promise of success. The original
suggestion named New York as the place, but this was
soon wisely
changed to Atlanta, for the obvious and con¬
trolling reason that it is not only cotton itself but the
South which needs to be studied and known.
The origi¬
nal plan of a special and exclusive exhibition of cotton
and its processes has also been departed from.

impassable, all the tide of

the South.
The Census bulletin exhibiting the geographi¬

centre, starting in 1790 a little eastward of Baltimore, has
moved westward by nine singularly uniform steps, but

the succeeding obstacles of poverty, misunderstanding, and
bitterness, -which were left by the war, having also been in
good part removed, a great change is now in progress.
It is to be said as to cotton that it is a necessity, in
countries of the lowest as well as of the highest civiliza¬
tion ; it has been distanced by combined breadstuffs as to
its position in the export trade, but still it was really never
so truly king as now,
counting as well its prospects as its
standing to-day. It is a material bill of exchange, nego¬
tiable everywhere at sight.
The great point in favor of
the South is that our commanding position as regards
cotton is in nowise menaced and is as secure as anything

$13,710,587 in July, 1880. This excess is certainly
larger than was generally expected. With prices of our'
chief staples of export raised way above ordinary quota¬
tions—breadstuffs and provisions being cornered, and
cotton steadily advancing—it was feared that the outward
movement of our products w-ould be so largely checked as
to endanger the balance of trade.
In point of fact the
exports do show a falling off of almost 8 million dollars,
but this was met by a decrease of 5 millions in the imports,
so that the balance in
our favor is only 3 millions less
than in July last year.
The falling off in individual items of exports is much
larger than would appear from the total. Thus while the
value of all exports\is, as already stated, 8 millions below7
July, 1S80, the value of the breadstuffs exports is 11^
millions smaller and the provisions exports 1^ million
smaller, together 124- millions. Cotton w7ould diminish this
decrease, as, though the movement of this staple is light at
this season, the shipments in July this year were almost
one-half more than those of July last year.
If we deduct,
say, 2 millions on this account, there would remain
a loss of 10 J millions on the three items of cotton, pro¬
visions and breadstuffs, against a loss of 8 millions as
shown by the aggregate of all exports.
It follows that
there must have been
an
increase to the amount of about
2-J millions in other items. The total imports and exports
at each of the leading ports will be seen in the subjoined
table.

Examining the details of the breadstuffs exports, w-e
find the most marked feature to be .a very heavy diminu¬
tion in the shipments of wheat.
Last year, in July, we
exported 17,745,472 bushels; this year we exported only
9,172,330 bushels. In the early part of the year the ship¬
ments of wheat were on quite a liberal scale, but Europe
probably purchased no more than she needed to supply
present wants. The main cause for the heavy decrease
in July was, no doubt, the belief—which the severe rains,
during the last ten days have since weakened—that the
crop in England wTould be above the average, and also
that the prices ruling here were too high. - Whether now
that it appears almost certain that England and France
expected a month or
foreign buyers will purchase more freely of us
again, even at the present figures, remains to be seen.
The following table gives the proportions of each of the
different items that go to make up the breadstuffs exports.

products, the
month of July show7s a decrease in every item except
cheese.
The loss in quantity has, however, been in great
part compensated for by the higher prices which prevailed.
This is more particularly noticeable * when we look at the
totals for the seven months, where, as in the case of July,
there is a falling off in volume in pretty nearly every item,
but where, notwithstanding, values are larger by half a
million dollars than in the corresponding period of last
year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF AUGUST, 1881.
Chicago & Northwestern,
Chicago Milw. & St. Paul,
The month of
August was not remarkable for financial
events of stirring importance.
The aspects of the money
market attracted more attention than anything else, and
the higher rates of interest, in connection with the great
speculation in wheat, corn and cotton, were the leading
worthy of mention.
It was not expected that the banks would run below the
limit of their legal 25 per cent reserve as early as August,
but owing to the heavy demands of the West for cur¬
rency to sustain the speculation in breadstuffs, as well as
the large current demand in eastern cities, the New York
City Banks showed a deficiency on August 20 of $717,700,
Delaware Lack. & Western
Central of New Jersey
Merchandise—
and on August 27, $2,568,025.
The Treasury had about
$12 ,000,000 of coupon fives called for payment on August
12, but few of them were presented, and finding no relief
to the market from this source,
Secretary Windom issued
*
The business in all classes of investment securities
was
slack
during August, and stock speculation was also com¬
paratively light. The tendency of stock prices under the
closer money market, present and prospective, was towards
a lower
range of quotations; but still there was no feeling
of panic and no sudden decline in the
general market.
Foreign exchange weakened, notwithstanding the specu¬
lation in wheat and cotton which checked exports, and
the amount of
specie shipped from Europe to this country
was
large, although the arrivals were only about $5,000,000, as a good part of the shipments were made in the
last week of the month, and were still afloat at its close.
A general rise took
place in the bank rates of discount in
England and on the Continent, mainly for the purpose of
checking the shipments of specie to the United States.

Exchange, compared

tions. It looks very much as if we were about to have one of
those disturbances in the money market which have been so
perplexing since the Franco-German War; and there seems to
be an impression that the Bank rate will be advanced to a mod¬
erately high point, but only to produce ultimately stagnation in
financial and commercial business, and to lead to
low rates of discount. The American demand for
a
return to
gold is the
greatest source of anxiety to us. When Germany was buying
large quantities of gold for coinage purposes, her Government
sold us silver at a depressed price ; but the American drain is
considered to be chiefly due to an adverse balance of trade, and
is not therefore of
any advantage to this country. The loans
for American rai’road companies introduced this
year have not
been of sufficient importance to cause
any protracted disturb¬
ance in the gold market, and hence the
present demand must
be attributed to our large purchases of cotton and
grain. Dur¬
ing the past week, the state of our wheat market has been such
as to cause some
anxiety, as the weather has been very unset¬
tled, and, although a considerable quantity of wheat has been
cut, very little has been carted or stacked. Were it not for the
fact that we can readily procure
supplies, our position would
be a serious one, the weekly deliveries of wheat in the whole
Kingdom being insufficient to meet the requirements of the
Metropolis alone. Considering the unsettled state of the
weather, and the smallness of the home supplies, an advance
of about 5s. per quarter is a comparatively small matter, more
especially as the average price of wheat is far from being
extravagant. There is some expectation that a further advance
in prices will take place, but
past experience has taught specu¬
lators that handling wheat is a dangerous process and is seldom
attended with profitable results. A few years ago—I think in
the year 1875—we had a wet harvest time, and the crops were
much damaged. Large orders were sent out to the United
States and to other countries, and the result was that in the
early part of October our importations were upon a scale of
$325,245,364 unprecedented magnitude, and the markets being overloaded,

A summary of the agricultural returns for this year has been
published this week and it is by no means a satisfactory docu¬
ment. There is a falling otf of about 100,000 acres of wheat,
and 25,000 acres barley ; but there is a small increase in oats
and potatoes.
The number of sheep and lambs has also
declined to the extent of about 2,000,000. The following are

ie weather has been unsettled, and although a
considerable
quantity of wheat has been cut, very little has as yet been
carried.
During the week ended August 13 the sales of home-grown
wheat in the 150 prin;-ipal markets of England and Wales
amounted to only 10,982 quarters, against 13,901 quarters last
year and 18,594 quarters in 1878-9 ; while it is computed that
they were in the whole kingdom 43,930 quarters, against 55,004
quarters and 74,500 quarters. Since harvest the sales in the
150 principal markets have been 1,613,993 quarters, against
1,390,124 quarters in the corresponding period of last season,
and 2,472,208 quarters in 1878-9 ; the estimate for the whole
kingdom being 6,450,000 quarters, againgt 5,000,000 quarters,
and 9,S93,000 in the two previous seasons respectively. With¬
out reckoning the supplies of produce furnished ex-granary at
the commencement of the season, it is estimated that the fol¬
lowing quantities of wheat and flour have been placed on the
British markets since harvest.

report for the year ending on the 1st of August, 1881. “This
statement,” says Comptroller Campbell,
“embraces seven
months of the current year and five months of the preceding
fiscal year, thereby including the receipts and expenditures of
parts of two fiscal years, bearing no relation to the accounts of
the annual taxes and appropriations, and rendering it imprac¬
ticable to make exact comparative statements of the accounts
from year to year,which properly belong to an annual report for a
fiscal year,” The document shows that the cash balance in the
City Treasury August 1, 1880, amounted to $1,189,272. The
cash receipts from all sources during the year ending August
1, 1881, were $59,885,742, which included $1,956,245 revenues of
the general fund, $27,823,053 taxes, $13,900 returned to appro¬
priation accounts, $761,419 special and trust accounts and
$29,331,123 loans (including revenue bonds\ During the year
the disbursements aggregated $60,046,350, which included
$29,207,886 on appropriation account, $5,819,921 on special and
trust accounts and $25,018,542 for redemption of bonds.
This
left a cash balance of $1,028,665 in the Treasury on August 1.
The total receipts during the twelve months on account of the
sinking fund for the redemption of the city debt amounted to
$11,741,157 ; payments from the fund aggregated $10,820,021 ;
leaving a cash balance of $921,135. The receipts on account of
the sinking fund for the payment of interest on the city debt
were $3,326,219, and the expenditures were $2,685,812, leaving
a
cash balance of $640,407.
The total funded debt of the city,
including the debt of the
annexed to the city in 1874 from Westchester County,

Railroad and Miscellaneous
Stocks.—The
has been very irregular and at times feverish,
material decline in prices. In fact, the closing
stock market
but without any
prices to-day for
many leading stocks show a slight advance on last week. The
market has generally been unsatisfactory, and too uncertain to
enable one to predict its cause from one day to another; the
money market has worked closely, and its sensitive condition
has been more prejudicial to stocks than its ultimate course ap¬
parently warranted, as no broker could tell to-day what rates
for money might be charged to-morrow.
Then the war of rates
among the railroads and the doubt in regard to the tonnage of
grain transportation between this date and the first of January
all tend to keep stock prices unsettled. To-day the money
market was easier and prices of stocks showed, at times, a good
deal of strength.
There have been very few developments of fact as to matters
affecting the values of particular stocks. The New York Herald
publishes a dispatch from Philadelphia that the plan of Mr.
Bond for the readjustment of Reading finances has been disap¬
proved by a syndicate of bankers, bat the price does not yet
indicate any such failure.
Railroad building is now in progress
at a tremendous pace, [and the miles constructed in the next
three months, from Sept. 1 to Dec. 1, will probably exceed the
miles ever built iu a similar period in this country.

an increase of 725,030 bales as compared with 1879 and an in¬
crease of 552,724 bales as compared with 1878.
In the preceding visible supply table we have heretofore only
included the interior stocks at the seven original interior towns.
As we did not have the record of the new interior towns tor the
four years, we could not make a comparison in any other way*'
That difficulty no longer exists, and we therefore make the fol¬
lowing comparison, which includes the stocks at the nineteen
towns given weekly in our table of interior stocks instead of only
the ola seven towns. We shall continue this double statement for
a time, but finally shall simply substitute the nineteen towns for
the seven towns in the preceding table

good movement in cotton goods, clothing woolens, flannels,
blankets, ginghams, knit underwear, &c., on account of back
orders. Foreign goods have received a fair share of attention,
and while some descriptions were more freely distributed by iml
porters and jobbers, considerable quantities of silks,velvets, mil¬
linery goods, &c., were disposed of through the auction rooms
to fair advantage.
Prices of domestic cotton and woolen goods
are steadily maintained, and the most desirable makes of foreign
goods are firmly held.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—The export of cotton goods during
the week ending August 30 were 2,552 packages, including
1,128 to Africa, 839 to Great Britain, 141 to Hayti, 95 to Mexico,
70 to Danish West Indies, and smaller lots to other markets.
The jobbing trade in cotton goods was active throughout the
week, and the volume of business was large and satisfactory. The
demand at first hands was strictly moderate, but liberal deliv¬
eries were made by agents in execution of former orders. Stocks
of plain and colored cottons continue very light, and many of the
most desirable makes of brown and bleached goods, drills, wide
sheetings, cotton flannels, ducks, denims, ticks, plaids, quilts,
rolled jaconets, flat-fold cambrics, &c\, are so largely sold in
advance of production, that prices are very firm.
Print cloths
were in moderate demand at 3%c. for 64x64s and 3%c. for 56x
60s.
Prints were in fair request at first hands, and active with
jobbers, and there was a very brisk movement in dress ging¬
hams, which continue scarce in leading makes.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—Manufacturers’ agents represent¬
ing the most desirable makes of fancy cassimeres, suitings,
worsted coatings and overcoatings, continued to make steady
deliveries on account of back orders, but the current demand
was comparatively light.
Cloakings and repellents met with
moderate sales ; and there was a fair movement in flannels and
blankets as the result of new business, and in execution of
former orders.
The tone of the market for men’s-wear woolens
continues firm, and stocks are mostly in excellent shape. Such
also is the case with flannels and blankets, which are firmly held
and in light supply. Kentucky jeans ruled quiet and prices
are low and unremunerative to manufacturers.
Shawls and
skirts were in moderate demand and steady, and there was a
limited inquiry for worsted dress goods, .some makes of which
have slightly appreciated in first hands.
Foreign Dry Goods were in irregular demand at first hands
a id fairly active with jobbers. Silks, satins,velvets and plushes
were severally in fair request, and desirable makes are firmly
held at an advance upon last season’s prices, owing to the up¬
ward tendency of raw silk here and at the sources of supply in
Europe and Asia.
Dress goods were distributed in fair quanti¬
ties at steady prices, and there was a moderate business in house¬
keeping, linens, laces, embroideries, hosiery, &c. The auction
season has fairly commenced, and some large lines of silks,
velvets, ribbons aud millinery goods were distributed through
their medium at about their market value.
