THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
There is little
u
change to note in the situation this week.
€rop and business prospects continue to improve; railroad
earnings are increasing; money, although active, is not
stringent; the foreign exchanges are weaker; and about
the only
disquieting feature the outlook presents is the
condition of our foreign trade balances, and the unsatisfac¬
tory aspect of the silver question. The situation in Egypt
has ceased to have
any influence upon the European finan¬
cial centres, and it is now
probable, more especially with
the moral
support which the Sultan’s action extends to
the
English plans and movements, that the. expected
advance will result in bringing affairs to a speedy conclus¬
ion.

at the close there was a little

The
special demand last
week which absorbed
nearly all the supply of bills was
mainly caused by an inquiry for the purpose of covering
speculative sales of sterling, and when this inquiry ceased,
declined.
The weaker tone to the market and the
activity in money encouraged bankers to draw new loan
bills, and at the same time there was a pressure of drafts
made in anticipation of

too transparent ; and it was unavoidable that on this point
he and his government should be compelled ultimately to
yield. It will be some days before any Turkish troops will
reach Port Said; but from the moment the convention was
signed there was an important change in the situation. The
Sultan became the ally of England in putting down Arabi
Port
Pasha.
With the
proclamation of Arabi as a rebel under
the signature of the Sultan, a new moral force begins to

general situation is, as was
hinted above, the signing of the military convention by
the Sultan.
It introduces a new factor into the general
problem. According to this convention, Turkey will be
allowed to land a few thousand men, the presumption now
is, at Port Said. The object of Lord Dufferin in insisting

willingness to surrender his command if the
Sultan would send a sufficient force to protect the country.
And if now Arabi refuses to recognize the Sultan’s
authority, and continues the struggle, then it will be appar¬
ent to the whole Moslem world that he is acting in open
disobedience to the Caliph, the political and religious chief
of the Turkish Empire, and, in the estimation of every
orthodox Mussulman throughout the world, the successor
and the representative of the Prophet.
It is thus seen that although there is no immediate in¬
tention to make much use of the Sultan’s troops, England
has secured a great advantage in getting the Sultan safely
planted on her side. It is perfectly safe, therefore, to
predict that if the rebellion is not speedily crushed by one
decisive blow, it has already begun to die a natural death.
It has been the supposed sympathy of the Sultan which
has given spirit to Arabi’s men.
It was a crusade in
which they were engaged.
Islam was in danger, and they
were its chosen

year’s overland movement has again exhibited peculiar
It will be remembered that last season, although the
crop was a very large one—nearly a million bales in excess of
the previous season—the shipments overland fell off; but this
season, notwithstanding the crop is decidedly smaller—nearly
1% millions less than the previous—the gross overland has
increased. Our railroad managers are a prominent cause for
these variations. For reasons not always obvious, they have in
the past made the all rail-route, from some sections, one year
the cheaper and another year the more expensive route, and so
of course the cotton has moved through the cheaper channel as
easily and naturally as water runs down hill. It is not unlikely
that the peculiarly short food crops in the South last season
operated in favor of these low rail rates. That is to say, the
roads, in taking the needed supplies to that section from the
West, found employment for considerable rolling stock, which,
instead - of returning back empty, carried' cotton and could
afford to carry it back at a small figure, possibly under
features.

supply this movement, finds explanation in this way. Thus

This year’s experience, so far as it goes, tends to the conconclusion that it will grow, for the railroads being built must
have traffic. And yet it does not follow that such growth is to
be at the expense of the Southern outports, for it has not been
this year, the roads themselves being equally interested in
building up the business in that direction; hence they have
made such local rates as would tend to draw the cotton first to
its natural Southern outlet, and then such through rates to the
North as would in some measure compete with the water
carriage. In this connection it will be of use to note the relative
positions the ports hold, and have held, for a series of years as
marketing centres, and for that purpose we have prepared the

also make it more intelligible and le«s liable to error.
Second.—From the gross carried
overland we consequently deduct all
shipped by rail from Southern outports to the North. For instance,
from Now Orleans, Mobile, &o., frequent shipments are thus made, an
account of which is kept, but it is all included in the crop of New Orleans
or Mobile, &e.,as the case may be, when it appears there, and therefore
when the same cotton appears again in the overland, it must of course
be deducted, or it will be twice counted.
Third— We deduct from overland, likewise, the small amounts taken
from the Southern outports for Southern consumption. They, also, for
the sake of unity and simplicity, are counted at the outports where they
cotton
known, the entire Southern consumption is
and added to the crop. Ilenco unless these
small lots which thus go into Southern consumption from the Southern
outports are deducted somewhere, they will be twice counted.
Fourth.—We also deduct the arrivals during the year by railroad from
the West and South at New York, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
Portland. Those receipts reached these ports by coming across the
country, and appear in our weekly totals, becoming a part of the receipts
at the ports, under the heads of “New York” “Boston, Ac.” All this
cotton, then, having been coimted during the year, must now be de¬

has been done.
and to give
the course of the overland move ment, we have this year prepared a new map, more full and
detailed than our previous similar diagrams. It will be noticed
that we have put down on this map not only all Southern out¬
ports, but also every place in the Southern States from which
we now receive a monthly weather report. Furthermore, we in¬
dicate every great through route or combination of roads over
which cotton seeks a market.
For instance, a shipment inland
from Galveston would pass over the International & Great
Northern and the Missouri Kansas & Texas, crossing the Mis¬
sissippi at Hannibal, or would reach the Iron Mountain Road
over a branch of the Texas Pacific and cross the river at either
Cairo or St. Louis. These and other features of this map will

some all rail route, and hence in measuring the overland we can
only do so correctly by using the gross figures. To show, there¬

This statement brings out the important fact that, notwith
standing the serious decrease in the last crop, the gross carried
overland is the largest of any year in our record. It also seems
to indicate that the check in the

European consumption.
Thus it appears that the minimum additional supply Euro¬

lbs. each.
That estimate is made, of course, on the basis that
the power of the people to consume goods will enlarge no more
rapidly the next twelve months than it has during the closing

siderable
growth.
The
in England are generally ex¬
year than last, and last year they
were better than for some
years previously; this is true also
of the Continent, and better crops mean an
enlarged consuming
capacity for goods.. Furthermore, we are in the midst of a
general revival in industrial activity throughout the world.
There appear as yet to be no clear evidences of any approach¬
ing check to this progressive development. If, therefore, the
crops in Europe fulfill present promise, and the monsoon in
India be favorable, everything would seem to be
propitious
for a successful year for the manufacturing interests of
Europe,
except it may be the Egyptian difficulty and the possible com¬
plications that contest may lead to.
Bat at the present
moment even the war in Egypt looks as if it would not con¬
tinue long to be a disturbing element, the success hitherto of
Great Britain promising a speedy and satisfactory adjustment
of the question at issue. It is fair to conclude therefore, as
not improbable, that the additional demand for cotton by Euro¬
pean spinners the coming season will somewhat exceed the
above figure.
With regard to the United States, the conditions affecting
the cotton-manufacturing industry have not been so continnously and positively favorable as during previous years. As
the season closes, however, the position in some particulars has
improved, and is therefore more satisfactory. But earlier in
the year, spinners had to contend not only with the results of
the short food crops—which so affected consumption that in the
winter and early spring months there was a more considerable
accumulation in stocks of goods than there has been for many
a year—but also with the speculation
in cotton, which disturbed
values so as to put our spinners at a disadvantage. One of the
results of the speculation has been that almost all the year Europe
was able to buy American cotton cheaper in Liverpool than we
could buy it here ; and another was that this condition in the
price of the raw material, being looked upon as unnatural and
not permanent, helped to prevent a relative rise in the values of
goods except for such staple articles as were in active demand
—a feature the more embarrassing to spinners because, during
the late years of activity in the goods trade, wages have been
rising until the cost of manufacture was very considerably
higher than in 1878.

Consumption.
The cotton-manufacturing industry in almost
every part of the
world has continued to prosper during the past twelve months.
As we stated last year, this new development
began with our
memorable speculation in 1879, which set every
European spin¬
dle in motion.
Since then the progress in Great Britain and
the Continent has been constant, though with a
varying

this, we have the actual addition to the number
the building of new factories and the enlarging of old ones.
According to the best esti¬
mates, the addition thus secured is about 575,000 spindles
for the past twelve months, making the total on the first of
September—estimated on the basis of the latest revision of the
Census figures—about 12,000,000 spindles for the whole country.
Altogether then we should say that our Northern mills next
year, if run to full capacity, may possibly require 150,000 bales of
cotton more than they have used this year, but not to exceed that.
Of course their takings may be larger, for they have reduced their

has only taken 1,661,206 bales out of this crop, against 1,686,804
in 1880-81, a decrease of 25,593 bales.
This latter result is (that is, the crop of 1881-82) quite nearly in cleanliness and
somewhat of a surprise, considering the increase which has spinning qualities resembled that of 1879-80.
Of the growing crop, there seems to be less difference of

facts having led us to revise and lower our estimate of actual
Northern consumption last season, leaving with spinners larger
stocks of cotton September 1, 1831, than we at that time gave
them credit for. Starting, as in our last report, a summary of
takings and consumption on the basis of no stocks in the hands
of Northern spinners on September 1, 1875, we arrive at the
following results for the years since that date. The width of
our columns compels us to omit the year 1875-76, but it is the

August has, however, been too rainy iu many sections for
holding and maturing fruit, and what is now greatly needed
is warm, dry weather; with a favorable fall season we should

through whose assistance we are able to continue our annual
report of that staple. As our readers are aware, no record is
kept of the export movements of Sea Island except for the
ports of Charleston and Savannah. For the Northern ports
Custom House manifests furnish ao guide. We have found it
impossible, therefore, to perfect these figures except by special
correspondence in every case with the consignee or the shipper,
and in this way following every bale of Sea Island after it
appeared at a Southern outport, until it either had actually
been exported or taken for consumption. We should also state
that for the shipments of cotton direct from Florida to ports
other than Charleston and Savannah, we have in the case of
each consignment, at the time of its receipt, procured from the
receivers the exact number of bales of Sea Island received.

Press says : “ It was expected that like cash dividends would
follow in September ana December, the income being ample*
but it has been decided that under the p'au of reorganization
dividends can be declared legally only in January and June.
The directors have therefore postponed the next dividend until'
January, when H%> per cent will probably be declared, the pre¬

President. The last
investigated, and as a result of the investigation Attorney
delivered an opinion declaring that the leaseought to be forfeited, because the bond of the lessees is in¬
sufficient, and because they have allowed the controlling
interest in the lease to pass outside the State. The lessees
refused to strengthen the bond, and denied that they had sold
a controlling interest in the lease.
The matter will come up
for trial on Sept. 14.
In case the lease is declared forfeited the
lessees propose to demand $1,500,000 for improvements on the
road ; and as it will be offered for sale, sharp bidding may be
anticipated as it is the only line meeting a western connection
at Chattanooga.

harvesting of the crops is progressing under the most
favorable auspices. The yield of wheat not only meets, but
in some instances exceeds, expectation.
The winter variety
has been secured in excellent condition and in larger quantities
than ever before, while spring wheat is being gathered with
every .promise that the outturn will also be in advance of
former years.
Corn, which early in July was reported as hav¬
ing suffered such injury from adverse weather that scarcely
one-third of an average yield could be expected, is now pro¬
nounced as in such a thriving state that only early frosts can
prevent the product from being the largest on record. All
other cereals give like accounts of themselves, and hay, which
is scarcely of secondary importance to corn, was, as is known,
unusually line in both quality and quantity. In financial circles
the continued increase in railroad earnings is a further invigor¬
ating influence.
Money during the week has shown a decidedly hardening
tendency, and at one time as high as 8@10 per cent was paid
for loans on stock collateral. Domestic exchange at almost every
important centre rules against this point, and the receipts of
the Sub-Treasury, until within the last few days, were greatly
above the disbursements.
On Tuesday Secretary Folger gave
notice that the bonds embraced in the 115th call (for $16,000,000) due the 13th instant, would be prepaid at once without
rebate of interest, and since then rates have ruled easier, loans
on the pledge of good stocks being obtainable at not above the
legal rate, and sometimes as low as 4 per cent. On governments
the rate has been steadier, but even here the tendency towards
higher figures has been apparent. In the present state of our
foreign trade, it is perhaps desirable that a firm 6 per cent rate
should prevail, for so long as this is the case, there will be an
inducement for Europe to loan her balances here, while other¬
wise she might be inclined to withdraw them and further ship¬
ments of gold from this side become necessary. On time loans
full 6 per cent is asked, and prime commercial paper goes at
6@6J4 per cent.
On the Stock Exchange here and in Boston the purchase last
Saturday, by Messrs. Gould, Sage, Dillon & Company, of a con¬
trolling interest in Hannibal & St. Joseph, has been a theme of
much discussion.
It was supposed that the property would
ultimately pass to the control of the Chicago Burlington &
Quincy, and most persons had not even an inkling that the
Gould party were desirous of acquiring it.
But it is claimed
that the Burlington & Quincy would not purchase at the price
asked, and the necessities of the brokers holding the stock
being very urgent, they disposed of their blocks on the best
terms obtainable, which, however, it is contended, were not
sufficiently high to protect them against loss. The purchase is
variously interpreted. On the one hand it is claimed that the
road is to be added to the Wabash system, which looks plaus¬
The

ible.
On the other hand it is maintained that the road will be
built on to Chicago, and serve as an eastern extension to the
Union Pacific.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a decrease in specie of £119,000, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 69%, against 39 3-10 last week; the discount rate
remains at 4 per cent.

Money Market and Financial Situation.—With the

all good bonds rule at high figures and are well maintained.
Leading speculative issues suffered some decline early in the
week, but at the close had fully recovered under the rise in
stocks.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—On the stock market
there has been a pretty decided exhibition of strength during
the last few days.
On most stocks there has for some time
but the fear of dearer
past been a very strong undertone,
money and the re-actions in particular stocks, under the in*
fluance of manipulation, have not been without their effect on
the general market, and lower prices have in many cases been
the result.
This week, however, since the announcement that
called bonds would be paid without rebate of interest, there
has been a manifest inclination towards higher figures, and
quite general advance has been established. The move¬
by St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba, by Minne¬
apolis & St. Louis, and by what are known as the Villard
stocks, namely Northern Pacifies, Oregon Trans-Continentals,
&c., which have risen 3 @ 4 points. Trunk-line stocks, espec¬
ially the Vanderbilts, were rather weak at the outset, but nave
latterly partaken of the general improvement. Louisv. & Nash¬
ville has also risen about 2 points, possibly on the knowledge
that the earnings were very heavy.
Large earnings, indeed,
are playing a not unimportant part in the upward movement
at present.
Our usual monthly table is given on another page,
and shows gratifying results.
On the Southwestern roads the
traffic in August, especially in the latter part of the month,
was very heavy,
as the trunk line connections of these
roads show, and this has aided in advancing the price of Mis¬
souri Pacific.
The other Gould stocks, however, have shown
less buoyancy.
Hannibal & St. Joseph common stock
now sells at 48, against the cliqued price of 85 @ 90 only last
Friday, and 350 during the corner last year. The ultimate
outcome of the corner in this stock adds another to the long
list of disastrous results of ventures of this kind. To-day, under
increasing activity, there was a quite general rise, which was
well maintained up to almost the close of business, when there
was somewhat of a re-action.
In many cases, however, the best
prices of the week were reached.
Foreign Exchange.—There has been a growing heaviness in
exchange, and bankers several times marked down rates, so
that now there is a decline of full 1% cents as compared with
a week ago.
Some bills are being drawn against anticipated
cotton shipments, but the supply of commercial exchange
offering is not heavy ; on the other hand, the demand appears
to be restricted, and there is little therefore to support quota¬
tions.
To-day actual business *was on the basis of 4 84@
4 84}^ for bankers’ sixty-day sterling bills, 4 88%@4 88% for
demand, 4 89@4 89% for cables, and 4 82% for commercial. In

Boston & New York Air Line—New York New Haven
A Hartford.—In regard to these roads the Tribune says : “ The
laws of Connecticut provide that no railroad lease shall be legal
except after being ratified by two-thirds of the stock repre¬
ratification,
ex¬
cept where the lease is only for one year. The officers of the
Air Line say that they have proxies not only for two-thirds
of the stock likely to be represented at the meeting on next
Wednesday, but two-thirds of the entire stock outstanding.
The entire amount is 38,003 shares, divided into 29,700 shares
of preferred and 8,303 shares of common stock.
The vote
that the officers claim to control is 28,334 shares, or 3,172
shares more than two-thirds of the entire amount outstand¬
ing. An officer of the Air Line Company said: ‘It was to
be expected that our common-stockholders, who will receive
nothing on their stock under the lease, would oppose it. But
the question to be- decided by the directors when they agreed
to the lease of the road to the New Haven Company was,
What are the best terms to be obtained for the property as a
whole ? The Air Line road never could have earned
its common stock even if the pool with the New

company’s charter provided that the

Chicago, and also for the interchange of traffic; and that a
contract has been signed or will be
signed in a few days, with
the Jndianapolis Bloomington & Western, which will

Atchison Topeksi & Santa Fe—Leavenworth Topeka &
Southwestern.—The transfer of the Leavenworth Topeka &
loath western road to the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe has been
rtompleted, and gives to the Atchison Company four-fifths of
the Leavenworth Topeka & Southwestern Company’s stock and
majority of the Construction Company’s securities, in return
for which the Atchison guarantees the payment of the interest
upon the bonds of the Leavenworth Topeka & Southwestern
Company to the amount of $1,380,000, at four per cent. The
rate on these was originally six per cent, but was reduced by
vote of the bondholders to four, for the purpose of accomplish¬
ing this transfer. By this arrangement the Atchison Company
secures without paying a single dollar in cash a line fifty miles
in length, which is practically the key to the entire Kansas
business, which shuts out a dangerous rivalry, and which gives
to the company a direct and independent line from Topeka to
Leavenworth. * The Atchison company’s interest charge will be
but $55,000, and all that the road earns above that net will be
profit to the Atchison. The line is not quite ready for business
yet, but will be opened during the current month. The Union
Pacific people are said to be interested in the purchase and to
have guaranteed one-half of the interest on the bonds.—Boston

Cincinnati Hamlltm & Diyton.—The Cincinnati Gazette
says that negotiations are pending looking to the extension of
the Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton lines,
by combinations and
agreements with connecting roads, to the principal centres of
trade in Illinois; that an agreement is to be made with the
Louisville New Albany & Chicago for the use of its track when

Cincinnati road.
Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati & Indianapolis—Indian¬
apolis & St. Louis—St. Louis Alton & Terre Haute.—A dis¬
patch from Cleveland, August 31, says that the announcement
has been made on indisputable
authority that these three rail¬
roads are to be consolidated. “After the
reorganization of the
Ind. & St. Louis Company it will of course be understood that
the Alton & Terre Haute, being leased
by the Ind. & St. Louis,
is a sort of silent partner, whose terms, as at
present made, the
new
company would be forced to accept; but the consolidation
proceedings, although among the comparatively certain things
of the future, are for the present a
good way off.
The sale of
the road was ordered by Judge Drummond,
dating as from
September 1. It will then be in order, after the property has
been turned over by the receiver to the new
company, to issue
new stock and bonds and complete its
organization.
This will
take time, bat at the end of that time
steps will undoubtedly be
taken to formally consolidate the property of the Ind. & St. L.
with the C. C. C. & I.”
Connecticut & Passumpsic.—For the year ending Jane 30
receipts were $851,748 and expenses $547,903, making net earn¬
ings $303,844. Of this amount $L53,930 has been paid out for
interest and $158,490 for dividends, leaving
surplus on hand of
$48,671, against $57,252 last year.
Georgia Central.—The directors of the Central Railroad
and Banking Company met at Savannah this week and
elected
General E. P. Alexander President to fiil the
vacancy occa¬
sioned by the death of Col. Win. M. Wadley.
Georgia Pacific.—Of this line there are now 262 miles either
completed or under contract. The whole length of the line,
from Atlanta, Ga., to Greenville, Miss., will be 462
miles. Con¬
tracts have lately been let for the section between
Anniston
Ala., and Birmingham, and for 35 miles from Columbus, Miss.
The track on the eastern end is now laid to

Hannibal & St. Joseph—Chicago Burlington &
Quincy.—
The Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad has come under the
control
of
a syndicate composed of
Jay Gould, Russell Sage, Sidney
Dillon, Fred. L. Ames, and others. It is stated that the syndi¬
cate bought 90,009 shares of common stock at
42, out of the
total of 91,687 shares. The preferred stock
being only 50,830
shares, the purchase of these 90,000 shares of common stock
gives the syndicate absolute control of the road. The Tribune
says the sale was made by brokers who have been holding the
stock for the last year for the account of Mr. John R.
Duff, of
Boston, who engineered the “ corner” in September last.
The Graphic says : “ It is understood that no
guarantee
has been made in regard to the preferred stock, and of course
the Gould interest is entirely in the common.”

Saturday a further decline in prices of cotton
delivery, although reports from the South spoke of
excessive rain, and the movement of the crop was quite small.
On Monday and Tuesday there was no additional decline of
moment, although foreign advices were unfavorable and the
weather had much improved.
On Wednesday a stronger
report from Liverpool and some demand to cover contracts
caused an advance of 3 @ 6 points, the higher figure for
September and October.
On Thursday the tendency was still
upward, but the speculation quite slow. Yesterday there was
an
advance
for
September contracts, but the later
deliveries were dull and weak.
Cotton on the spot was in
moderate demand for home consumption and prices ruled quite
steady throughout the week. On Wednesday afternoon 2,200
bales sold for export, said to be for Russia.
To-day the market
was quiet, middling uplands closing at 12 13-16c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 332,500
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
6,818 bales, including 2,700 for export, 3,963 for consumption
155 for speculation and

Comparative Port Receipts and Daily Crop Movement.—
A comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurate
as the weeks in different years do not end on the same day of
the month.
We have consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and m* nthly statement, that the reader may
constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the years named.
The movement each month

Indian corn has been quiet on the spot and 4c. to 12c. lower.
The trade in options has shown a marked
increase, but the
later deliveries have fallen Sc. per bushel,
owing to the fine
crop prospects and the estimate recently published at the West
that the yield would be 1,800,090,000 bushels. Those here who
formerly estimated a much smaller crop than this now incline
to the belief that, with really favorable
weather, even these
figures may be exceeded. On the other hand, there are those
who estimate that the crop will not be over 1,400,000,000 bush¬
els, or 200,000,000., bushels in excess of last year’s harvest..
Operators here look for a large crop, whatever the exact figures
may be, and are in doubt whether Europe will require as much
of our surplus as was at one time supposed.
The Chicago mar¬
ket has at times been panicky during the week.

was a good, steady business in
foreign fabrics, and, while liberal sales were effected by
importers, the jobbing trade was noticeably active. Silks, velvets
and plushes continued in good demand, and there was a satis¬
factory movement in cashmeres and fancy dress fabrics of
British and Continental manufacture.
Housekeeping linen
goods and handkerchiefs were in improved request, and laces
and embroideries met with ready sale.
Ribbons, millinery
piece goods and feathers were fairly active, and a good busi¬
ness was reported in kid gloves.
Prices of nearly all kinds of
foreign goods remain steady and unchanged.

TRADE.
Friday, P. M., September 8, 1882.
The main feature of the
past week’s business has been the
marked activity prevailing in the jobbing branches of the
trade. There was an unusually large force of retail buyers in
the market, and their operations in fall and winter goods were
conducted on a very liberal scale, denoting ample confidence
in a large demand for consumption, but there was an utter
absence of speculative tendency.
The commission houses
continued to make fair deliveries of staple cotton and wooleu
.goods, prints, ginghams, dress goods knit underwear, hosiery

early buyers. Heavy all-wool and cotton-warp cassimeres were
taken in small lots to a fair amount, but overcoatings were
mostly quiet in agents’ hands. Cloakings continued in fair
request, and repellents met with moderate. sales. Kentucky
jeans and doeskins were fairly active with jobbers, and there
was a light business in satinets.
Soft wool dress fabrics and
sackings were in good request, and there was a limited call for
reassortments of flannels and blankets; and shawls, skirts and
carpets met with considerable sales at firm prices. Worsted
dress goods were active with jobbers, and in steady demand at
