Although the exchanges at New York for the week ended
August 27 exhibit a small gain over the preceding week, the
total for all the other

nearly twenty-five millions of dollars; the net result in the

England minimum rate of discount was
advanced on Thursday to 4 per cent, from 3 per cent, at
which it had stood since August 4th. This movement was
not urexpected, but was probably caused by the down
ward tendency of our foreign exchange market and the
renewal of the demand upon London for gold for ship¬
ment to America ; for although nothing was withdrawn
for that purpose during the week covered by ihe Bank
statement, a special cable to us states that £60,000 was

during the month $5,798,037, notwithstanding the Gov¬
ernment added to its balance in depositary banks nearly
million dollars, promised unusually large pension dis¬
bursements, has paid of anticipated coupons $1,075,280,
and has purchased bonds amounting to a little over 6
million dollars.
Tnis
mere
statement of
facts certainly
presents a bad outlook, but chiefly because of its bearing
the prospect for coming months.
In itself the accumu¬
lation of $5,798,037 is not of any great moment.
Ig is
the withdrawal of that amount after such promises and
on
the surplus which is the disturbing
feature, and it is this unfavorable inference and feeling
which other portions of the report seem in great measure
to relieve and explain.
First, for instance, we find that
the outstanding Government checks or drafts have increased
about 1^- millions during the month; it is not unlikely
and in fact, under the circumstances, it is a fair presump¬
tion, that if these had been presented the currency hold¬
ings would have been to that extent decreased. B, t a
more important fact
is, that disbursing officers’ balances
have, during August, increased about 11-J- million dollars,
which we take it means that the anticipated heavy pension
payments were for some reason in good part deferred,
and will come in September.
If we are right in these
inferences, the unfavorable conclusion drawn from the
month’s figures is not at all warranted, for as against
$5,798,037 accumulations, we have about 13 millions of
the month’s anticipated disbursements simply carried over

This is particularly
true of the figures relating to stock and debt, and earnings.

The division (between gold and silver) given In our table of coin and
bullion in the Bank of Germany and the Bank of Belgium is made fro m
the best estimate we are able to obtain; in neither case is it claimed to be
accurate, as those banks make no distinction in their weekly report,
merely reporting th e total gold and silver; but we believe the division
we make is a close approximation.

brief, say 300 millions. This is perhaps not as large as
expected, but the important fact with regard to it is that
it does not represent in full the additions during the twelve
months.
Mr. Poor’s figures cover not the calendar year,
but the fiscal years of the respective companies, and these
fiscal years end variously—some with Septemb r, many
with June, and a few even as early as February and March.
In the nature of things, Mr. Poor could not well pursue
any other plan, as in the main official figures are furnished
only in that way. Ordinarily, too, this method is suf¬
ficiently accurate to answer most purposes. Just now,
however, the case is different. It is a well-known fact
that in 1886 the construction of new mileage and the issue

Now
in this same period of twelve months the interest bearing
obligations of the United States were reduced 130 mil¬

reduction of the national debt was in progress in other
years, too, but it is at least worthy of remark that as
nearly as can be ascertained the total of new interestbearing debt created in 1886 was only about 60 millions
greater than the amount of United States bonds canceledIt should be said, though, that the increase would doubt¬
less have been somewhat larger, except that in the case of
certain reorganized roads, bonds were replaced by stock.
There is still another way to look at these new capital
creations, and that is by contrasting them with the addi
tions in other recent years.
Pursuing that plan, the 1886
figures make a very favorable showing. In 18S5 (fiscal

We have above called
attention to important points of difference, such as lower
interest rates, reduced co3t and the changed character of
the companies issuing the new securities ; but even if the
conditions were in all respects the same, it is evident that
any disaster to follow must be in proportion as much less
serious as the new capital creations now fall below those
of the other period.
In truth, however, there is very
little similarity between the two periods.

That there is more activity in the iron districts
is admitted. In the first seven months of 1887 the exports of
metals and articles
manufactured
therefrom, including
machinery, have exceeded those for the corresponding period
in 1886 by £1,276,000; but whether this rate of expansion will
be maintained during the rest of the year will depend almost
entirely on the progress of the revival of trade in America. A
rough examination of the official figures shows that of the
above-mentioned gain about £1,220,000 is.due to the heavier
shipments to the United States ports. The increase of exports
to other countries is altogether too insignificant to be taken as
an indication of an improving trade with them.
America has
all along been our chief customer in iron, and she will certainly
continue to be so until she lias so far developed her internal
resources as to be independent of external aid.
So long as
progress in the United States is unchecked, so long shall we
benefit by it; and if we are not now constructing our business
on the basis of the liberal scale of profits we formerly secured,
we have at least the satisfaction of knowing that so far as can

be ascertained trade is sound.
While the iron industries
just now the main centre of
attraction, there is also a fair degree of steadiness in wool; but
purchases of cotton are delayed by the apparent expectation
that values will recede.
It must, however, be borne in mind
that spinners have reduced their stocks of cotton very
low^
and when the time for replenishment arrives, it may be found
that the effects of a good crop have been in some measure
neutralized. Whatever change may have occurred in the
commercial position during the week may be said to have
increased the hope of a better trade in the future.
No further change has been made in the Bank of England
rate of discount.
Gold is still purchased for the United States,
but the orders are mainly executed in Paris. The French and
German exchanges keep high, hence the demand for gold is
diverted from us. Money is firm, although the inquiry is
rather wanting in animation.
Short loans do not as a rule
make more than 1 to
per cent, but the discount rate for three
months' bills has been tolerably firm at 2% to 2% per cent.
If
the American exchange should not speedily improve, a further
rise in the Bank rate may be looked for.
The Bank of Eng¬
land return shows an increase in the reserve of £246,981, and
the proportion of reserve to liabilities has risen nearly 1 per
cent, namely, from 40*o4 to 41*48 per cent. In the important
item of bullion an increase of £41,386 is shown, notwithstand¬
ing an export of £91,000, from which it is clear that about
£132,000 must have been returned from general circulation.
The revenue collections have increased the total of public
deposits by £952,008. Other deposits on the other hand have
been reduced by £1,006,873, so that there must be less
money
lying idle. The other changes are of no particular importance.
The reserve now amounts to £11,530,886, or about £816,000
less than last year, and the stock of bullion, which is £20,815,"
041, shows a falling off compared with last year of £961,000.
The rates for money have been as follows:

of the

Gold.—The inquiry for gold lias somewhat fallen off aft- r great
demand for any small parcels offering in the op<*n market durinsr the
week. Considerable shipments have been made from Paris to New York.
Further withdrawals from the Bank now seem improbable.
£41,000
has been sold for N«- w York by the Bank of England. The arrivals are:
£5,000 from India, £15,000 from China, £24.000 from River Plate,
£3,000 from Cape; total, £47,000. £20,000 has gone to Bombay per
P. & O. steamer.

Oregoui Trans-Continental.—This company has effected an
important nngntiation in selling to a German syndicate, repre¬
sented here by Mr. H^nry Villard, some $6,000,000 of the
securities held by it. The sale as reported included bonds of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company, valued in the
trade at $3,000,000, and stock valued at $1,000,000. The bonds
had been earried for that company by the
Oregon & TransContimental Company, and the stock was from the latter com¬
pany’s treasury. These securities were, it was said, sold out¬
right. The remaining $2,000,000 of O. R. dc N Hock will be

Pniladelphia, September l,the Reading Reconstruction
Trustees advanced $1,800,000 to the receivers of the
company
that amount of overdue interest on the consolidated
and improvement
mortgages. This money is a part of the last
assessment of the stock, which realized
$3,000,000, making
about $12,000,000 that has been realized altogether from stock
assi sunents.
All of the receivers’ certificates have been
paid
off, the floating debt has been taken up, and when many
minor matters fast approaching i-ettlement have been
pro
to pay
vided for, the company will probably
open negotiations with
the first series 5s and after that go out of the receiver,*,’ hands.
—The Reading trustees have voted to
apply money from the
roceeds of the last assessment at once to the
payment of the

mortgage, $1,235,000, and on

ihe high prices and consequent adulteration are

Egyptian Cotton Crop.—Our correspondent at Alexan¬

The letter accompanying the report makes import¬

Alexandria, Aug. 7,1887.
Dear 8irs.—I send you herewith the 13th report of the Alexandria
Produce Association, for the month of July. I consider this report
very

Bombay appears to show a
decrease compared with last year in the week’s receiptof 2,000 bales, and an increase in shipments of 3,000 bales, and
the shipments since Jan. 1 shew an increase of 49,000 bales.
The movement at Calcutta, Madras and other India ports for
the last reported week and since the 1st of January, for twe
yearb, has been as follows.

to the foregoing,
friends in the interior, E can assure you that the
has thus far made good progress, and has suffered from worms
only to an insignificant extent. To be sure, there have been some worms
this year in nearly all places (exeept in Upper Egypt, Fayoum and
crop
Beui-8ouef), but they seem to have made their appearance so early
that the leaves of the cotton plant weie too small to protect them from
the sun, and they were therefore diied up on the plant before it was
posable for them
to do any great injury. As regards the report by the
Association of considerable damage having been done in Galioubi6h and
Menoufl6h and some harm in other Egyptian provinces, it should be
remembered that the majority (if not all) of the correspondents of the
Association are Greek and native merchants, who loan money to the

Fayetteville, North Car<lina(by mail)—The Cape Fear
River began to rise on Saturday morning and overflowed all
the low lands below this point.
Considerable damage it is
claimed resulted to the nver crop of cotton, which was
remarkably fln^ this year and promised an abundant yield.
The flood is now subsiding.

report of the “Alexandria General Produce Associa¬

:

abundance, or at least a suflh-ieuey, of water everywhere, and it is be¬
lieved ihai t e rise of tile Nile will, early iu August, permit t he w Ber¬
ing of the whole province without muehiues. The worms, after having
made a general invasion, are at present decreasing in numbers, aud
very f w are left.
The severe heat of the latter part of July must,
it is affirmed, have been destructive to them.
The h rm done by worms
is up to i he pr sent time of little moment.
It is heliev d to he generally
less than last year, except in ihe Belh6is. Minet-el-Ga nil an t Fakous
dis nets, where, it would seem, many
fi. Ids have beeu ravaged.
Dakahlieh.—Crops, with the exception of ihose attacked bjr worms, are
in excellent condition.
Water is generally sufficient.
Iri igaiiou with¬
out artificial aid was expected to begin by the end of the montu or early
in August.
Worms were universal here, but have at p e cut disap¬
peared, as in the other provinces. A number of fields in certain dis¬
tricts suffered from them, but many others escaped damage.
Our
Matisouta aud Faraskour correspondents make the m< st complaint of
them.
We think the province, as a whoie, has suffered less than last
year, and we hope that, thanks to the great heat and tne facility of irri¬
gation. the cotton plants will recover from their lnjurie*.
G dioubieh. The word received from this province is not nearly so
good as formerly. Worms have done serious damage, few plantations
being spared.
Some fields, we are informed, have been completely
ravaged and many have suffered greatly. On the other hand, the plants
which have not been attacked present a very fine appearance, aud are
in full bloom.
It is hoped tuat the present great heat will in part
repair the damage to the plants by the worms. However this may be,
the injury appears to be considerable—probably greater than that done
by them last \ ear. This province has had plenty of water. Irrigation
without artificial aid cannot begin before August 5th or 10th, as the
laud in Galioubi6h is much elevated.
Garbieh.—ln the greater part of this province, with the exception of
some parts in the south and southeast, the condition of the cotton
plants, now in full bloom and of fine promise, is highly satisfactory.
Almost everywhere dining July water has been abundant, or at least
sufficient.
The rise of the Nile has already made it possible to water
without machines the land of least elevation, and it is believed that
within four or five days it will be possible for all plantations to enjoy
similar irrigation. Although worms have been seen every where, it may
be said that they have thus far spared the greater part of Garbi6h and
have confined their attacks to the districts of the south aud southeast,
ilTHE CARON ICLE.

namely, Kafr-el-Zalat, Tanta, rGiaafarieb, Ziflek and Mehallet-Roli,
•where they I ave ravaged some places, leaving others untouched. Con¬
cerning the amount of harm done, the opinions of our correspondents
differ widely. 8ome lepresent it as greater than last year, others as
less and well nigh insignificant. We are led, therefore, to conclude that
the damage by worms in the aforesaid districts was not exceptiomlly
great, and that for the time being the greater part of the province is
safe.
Menoufieh.—We are sorry to say that the word from this province is
as unfavorable as that from Galiouhi6h.
The plantations free from
worms are in perfect condition and will flower abundantly, but on the
other hand those attacked, and they are very numerous, present a very
sorry appearance. Some cultivators have even decided to remove tne
cotton plants and prepare their lands for the planting of maize. These
cases are, indeed, very rare, but they serve to show the extent of
the damage, which at present see ns to be considerable. However,
thanks to the hot season and the ease in watering,even the most Injured
plantations have still time t<» repiir a part of the damage experienced,
and to yield satisfactory results.
Water is plenty throughout ttie
province. Irrigati u wi bout machines is expected to commence in the
(32).
first ten
days of August.
Fayoum.—We have no advices at present from our Fayoum corres¬
pondents, but we have no reason to suppose that ttie exceiient situation
reported by our preceding resume has undergone any change.
Upper Egypt—Tlie advices received by us from the province of BeniSouef continue very favorable. The temperature is excellent and the
water supply abundant. There have been no worms there at any time.
In view of the increase in acreage and the prosperous state of the plants,
a yield much greater than than that of 1886 is expected.
The other
provinces of Upper Egypt produce, as we have already said, too little
cotton to be worth speaking of. Moudiri6h de Miuieh is commencing, it
is stated, to pay a little more attention to cotton. It has raised some
cotton this year, and we believe next year will raise more.
General Observations.—As we have just seen, t!?e cotton reports re¬
ceived in July vary decidedly according to the province and the locality.
In no pace have the plants suffered fiom scarcity of water or from
the influence of any atmospheric condition. On the other hand wor us
have been general, d >ing considerable damage in Galioubi6:i and Menoufleh and slight injury iu four other provinces of Lower Egypt. It is
imposdb e now to c dculate the loss borne by Lower Egypt, for the cot¬
ton plants which have suffered may, if favored with warm weather and
easy Irrigation, yet pive comparatively satisfactory results.
We ought,
however, to state that there exists a certain amount of uneasiness f *r
the future, on account of the possible re appearance of worms and the
occurtnce of harmful mists.
It is to be hoped that these troubles will
not befall the cotton plauis.
If they do we shall have a decided dimi¬
nution of the harvest. Wo are, therefore, on the eve of the most critical

replenishment. The movement in staple cotton
goods, ginghams, dress fabrics, hosiery, &c., on
account of fomier transactions, was quite liberal, but business
througln ut the country has been so active that jobbers and the
manufacturing trade are urgent in their demands for further
.shipments in this connection. The tone of the market con¬
tinues firm, and stocks of staple cotton goods in particular are
much smaller than at the corresponding-time in former years.
Goods.—The
exports of
cotton
goods
from this port for the week ending Aug. 30 were d,629 pickages, valued at $309,429.
These shipments include 785 to
South America, 377 to Africa, 298 to Central America, 3,206
to China, 272 to the West Indies, 217 to Europe, 195 to
the East Indies, 130 to Mexico, 100 to Aden and 49 to
all other countries.
Since the
1st
of
January the exports
aggregate 134,921 packages, valued at $8,002,461.
Of this
total China has had 70,064 packages, valued at $3,328,076;
and 26,964 packages, valued at $1,932,293, have gone - to

Prints, ginghams, cotton dress goods and other patterned
jobbing circles, and there
was a freer demand for re-assortments of these
goods by local
and out-of-town jobbers, whoee stocks are getting low.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—Although clothiers are atil
cautious in their purchases of men’s-wear woolens, there was
a fair business in epiing-w< ight cassimeres, cheviots, worsted
coatings, suitings, &<*., and there was a light re-order demand
for heavy clothing wookns as oaf si meres, overcoat :«g8, &c.
Sat’nets continued in fair request, and there was a steady call
for small parcels of Kentucky jeans and doeskins.
Cloakings
were in light and irregular demand at first hands, but there
was a fair bu iness in stockinets and Jersey cloths at
steady
prices. Flannels and blankets were jobbed in liberal quai ti¬
tles, and there was a moderate demand for duplicate parcels
of these go >ds at first banes.
Carpets, shawls, skirts, wool
hosiery, kmt underwear, worsted «nd all-wool dress goods
and fancy knit woolens were freely distributed by jobbery and
prices ar-' generally firm.
Foreign Dry Goods were fairly active in the hands of
jobbers, and there w as a pret ty good Fernand for some sorts at
first hands, while consi ierable deliveries of dre*s goods, cloth¬
ing woolens, Imens, hosiery, &c., were made by importers on
account of previous trans <ctions.
The auction rooms presented
sue e sive offerings of silks, velvets, dres* goods,
&<\, with
somewhat it.different results, the competition having lacked
spirit. Staple fabrics are generally firm in this market ami at
the sources of supply abroad.
