THE ERIE DECISION—ITS BEARING UPONTHE CONTROL OF THE ROAD.

The decision rendered this week in the matter of the

Erie preferred stock dividend for tho year 18S0, has a

special practical interest affecting the question of tho future

control of that company. It has of course another and

more general application; but wo have not the space todayto inquire how far the principles established by tho Court

can be applied to other r.ailroads. Still there can be little

doubt that the decision is an important step towards deter-

mining the relative rights of directors and holders, not

only of this class of stock, but also of incoino bonds.

The nature of the claim upon net income which such

members of a corporation possess, has nov§r Vj^cn defin-

itely d'Jt^rrainftd; conjeqneutly their dividends Lava

depended .simply upon the Inclination of managers to makea distribution. Should this decision stanO, however, it

would seom that hereafter their position will bo a muchless involved one.

As far as concerns the preferred stock of tho Erie byitself, we took the position iu an article published by us ayear and a half ago (issue of Curoxicle of July IG, 1881),tl:at though that company's affairs presented one of those

instances whero tho best interests of all classes favoredthe judicious .ipplication of net earnings for a time to

improvements o( property &c., yet in the nature of things

there must bo a limit to this policy, for, after a certain

point had been reached, the common stockholders wouldof necessity gain more than tho preferred stockholders

from its cprstiniiance. This being so, and the diroctora

holding to the opinion that it was wholly discretionary with

them to declare a dividerd or not, a stri;t interpretation

of the language bearing upon the point in question became

a necessity. Judge Wheeler, in now giving a decision for

the plaintiff, rejects in the following forcible language the

claim made that since the money was spent for improve-

ments, the preferred Etockholdors were not entitled to a

dividend.

" There is here a net profit over all the expenses of all theoperations by which profit was mide. But it is said that it is

wanted for judiei')us improvements of the property lookinjf tofuture profits. This does not take away its character as apresent profit. It would be a profit whether it should be laidout upon the property to enhance its value or left in thetreasury of the company or divided among the stockholders."

But, as stated above, this decision has another phase,

one which seems to involve the interests of the commonstock as well as those of the preferred stock. Under it

the holder of preferred stock will of course be entitled

to a 6 per cent dividend which has heretofore been denied

him, but, what is more important, by this payment (the

amount called for being only $179,250, and the companybeing abundantly able to pay it without sustaining pecu-

niary embarrassment) both the common and preferred

stock will be restored to rights of which they have been

deprived ever since the reorganization of the company.

To understand this, it is only necessary to remember that

when the company was reorganized in 1878, the holders

(mostly English) of the later issues of bonds, in order to

protect their interests beyond peradventure, made it a

condition precedent to reorganization that the voting

power upon one-half the stock (common and preferred)

should be lodged in the hands of certain trustees in Lon-

don, representing the different issues of bonds and also the

two classes of stock. Accordingly, when new shares of the

New York Lake Erie & ^''estfirn Company were issued

THE (aillONlCLE. [Vol. JCXX'. f.

in exchange for the old shares of tho Erie, each holder of

the latter received voting stock for only one-half his

original holdings, while for the other half he was com-

pelled to accept nonvoting stock, this representing the

Etcck to be voted on by the London trustees. Under

this arrangement those trustees retained absolute control

of the property, and have each year cast the majority

vote. Hence for the purpose of control, the stock has been

practically valueless. The nonvoting shares carried no

vote anyway, while the voting shares were almost equally

without influence, since being in a minority they couMnot affect the control.

Now all this bids fair to be changed. There was, of

course, a limit set to the time when the voting trustees

should retain this great power (whicli, to their credit bo it

said, they have used so well), and this limit seems to have

been reached. It was declai-ed that after six per cent had

been paid upon the preferred stock for three consecutive

years the trustees should surrender control of the prop-

erty. Already two dividends have been paid (that for

the year ISSO.Sl in January, 1882, and that for 1831-82

in the present January), and if that for the year 1879 SO

must also be paid, it makes the third and last neces-

sary to a complete reinstatement of the stockholders in all

their usual rights. Thus the common stock, as well asthe

preferred stock, immediately rises to greater prominenceand receives an enhanced value.

Of course, it doss not follow from this that there is to

be a change in tho management. It would certainly bein the highest degree undesirable that there should be.

The fact that in less than five years since the reorganiza-

tion the company has risen to its present standing, speaksvolumes for the board that has been and is in office. Gutthe power to make a change, if necessary or thoughtdesirable, will be within the reach of the stockholders.

There is no doubt a possibility that with the vote free anduntrammeled, the road might fall into the hands of specu-lative parties, who would run it to further their own ends,but it is nothing more than a possibility. The stock is

very large, §77,087,000 of common and $7,987,500 of

preferred, but besides this (what is not generally known)there are several large issues of bonds that cany a votingpower the same as an equivalent amount of stock. Theseissues are the second consolidated bonds to amount of$25,000,000, the second consolidated funded coupon bondsto amount of $8,597,400, the reorganization 1st lien bondsto amount of $2,500,000, the 1st consolidated mortgagebonds to amount of $16,656,000, and the i'5t consoli-dated funded coupon bonds to amount of $;5,704,029,giving about fittyseven millions bonds altogether thathave the right to vote. Add this to the 85 millions ofstock outstanding, and we have a total of voting capital of142 millions. It would lake a snug little sum of money toacquire a majority of this, and heiein lies the Erie's safetyagainst the designs of unscrupulous men wishing to obtainpossession of tho road.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.There are some indications this week of a more favor-

able feeling in business circles. In the first place, theNovember trade figures issued by the Bureau of Statistics—although differing in no particular from the results fore-shadowed in these columns—inspired confidence where ii

was needed. Furthermore there has been among the moretimid—encouraged by the croakers, never a modest class—a vague feeling prevailing that the 1st of January woulddisclose widespread unsoundness among merchants. Asthai date has passed with surprisingly few failures-con-sidenng fho general decline in prices and consequent

liquidation that has been in process—these prophets of

evil have had to defer to another day tho fulfilmeat of

their forebodings, so that even the more nervous are show-

ing new courage. Then, again, as the season advances,

our marvelous production of this year is becoming more

manifest, and every one sees that there is a recupar.

ative force in these crops which must, in the end, be

effective in making business active, and therefore moreremunerative. At the same time it is obvious that the

very decline in values that has taken place has given

manufacturers a new and safer basis for operations, so that

they will bo better prepared for any new demand that

may arise.

The trade figures for November, which we have referred

to above ami commented upon at length in another

column, are really more satisfactory and promising than acursory view of them would indicate. To bring out the

situation clearly, we have prepared the following states

ment by months for four years.

Here we see that only for four months of thewhole four years have the exports recorded for November(about 81 millions) been ecûaled. That result has beenreached too, while—as we sliow in a subsequent column—in breadstuEfs and provisions there has been a decided fallingoff in shipments. So that in later months with corn in-cluded, which is now going out more freely, we may look fora continued large total, even when cotton becomes a smalleritem. Moreover, the imports show a decided falling off,

the total being less than in any month since July

Jamuabt a, 18^3. J THE CHRONICLK 8

188 1. In that fact wa have perhaps the most hopeful

feature of the situation—a marked contrast with six months

and more ago. It shows how ia a perfectly natural wayour people have been led to become more thrifty again

and have stopped burning their candle at both ends. Hadthose poor timid souls, who are talking about panics now,

used their lungs early in tlie year of 1882, they wouldhave had at least a more plausible basis for their conclusions.

These trade figures and the light they throw on the

present and iuture movement of merchandise, furnish the

reasons we have had for the anticipation, so often ex.

pressed in these columns, of an influx of gold during the

early months of this year. It will be seen that during

the last two months reported, the average net arrivals have

been over 3 millions. In December they are likely to

reach a somewhat smaller total. This month the present

conditions and the prospective merchandise shipments

seem to point to lower rates for exchange. At the mo-ment the market is heavy, the demand being light andthe supply of bills increasing, so that the offerings have

to be made at concessions or they are not accepted. Thedrafts now on the market are largely bankers', the ma-jority of which seem to be drawn against outgoing secu-

rities. Speculation in breadstuffs has, for the time being,

in some measure checked the free export of that

staple, but cotton still goes out freely, and corn

is, as already noted, becoming an item of someimportance, though it makes exchange slowly.

The better opinion seems to look to a speedyincrease in commercial bills, and a drop in the

exchange rates to the specie-importing point. The verylow rate to which the reserve of the Bank of England,in proportion to liabilities, has fallen this week (29|. per

cent) makes it pretty evident that great resistance will beoSered by the Bank managers to the shipment of gold this

way if the drain falls upon London and the efflux promisesto reach any considerable proportions. Still, in case food

or other supplies are required, they must be paid for, andif there are but few securities to send in return and we donot want goods in exchange, the settlement must of course

be made in gold.

We thus see that all the commercial conditions are again

developing very favorably. There are, however, somefinancial questions that are causing moae or less anxiety

and preventing that return of full confidence which the

facts otherwise warrant. Most prominent among these

is the continued coinage of the silver dollars. TheGovernment has issued this week the following brief butgraphic statement, showing at a glance the history of the

silver dollar in 1882.

This Statement shows us that the coinage during

the year has reached about 27^ millions, the holdings

by the Treasury have increased about 24^ millions,

•and the people have taken (that is to say, there have:gone into circulation) about three millions. It ap

pears, then, that three millions of these silver dollars

will satisfy the total annual demand of the wholeUnited States for that kind of currency. As, however,the Government had on hand 133 million of them Jan-

uary 1, we may conclude that, without any further

coinage, it possesses at present a full supply for 44 years.

What a comforting assurance, that not the least danger

exists of our people getting short of these precious coins

for nearly two generations. In view of that fact and of

the serious check to an entire recovery of confidence anda renewed spirit of enterprise, this coinage provision

proves to be, are we asking too much of Congress in pro

posing that it put a stop, temporarily at least, to this worsethan foolish proceeding?

Money is in fair supply considering the season, and the

rates have ranged this week between 12 and 2^ per cent,

with 7 as the average. As to the future of moneyopinions of bankers differ, but the majority are inclined

to look for an active market with 6 per cent as below the

average. These expectations are based upon the facts

(1) that the West and South have been steadily drawingfrom this centre since early last fall, and that the require-

ments of these sections for crop purposes, in view of the

large surplus still to be moved, are likely to continue;

and (2) that the outflow from the Treasury must hereafter

be no larger than the inflow. As to the latter point, it is

quite evident that the Treasury reserve has been drawndown to very low figures. To illustrate this, we have

prepared the following, showing the actual balance avail-

able in the Treasury on the first of each month of the

past year.

From the nominal balance we have in each case deduct-

ed the fictitious item of United States bonds redeemed,

but not yet matured, so as to show the actual available

balance. We thus see that the Treasury has a less reserve

that it has ever held before, this being only about 111^millions January 2, 1883, against 137 millions on the first

of January, 1882, and 134 millions on January 1, 1881.

These facts indicate that the banks are likely to be drawnupon by the Treasury during future weeks, rather than

that the Treasury will add anything to the reserve they nowhold. Of course the Government will have to meet the

bonds already called as they are presented, and the inter-

est payments, but further calls for bonds cannot be ex-

pected for a time at least. It is to be said, however,

that the banks are now in a better condition as regards

reserve than they have been at this season f«r two or three

years; but this is wholly due to the fact that Treasury

disbursements for bonds have been so liberal. We mayreceive new supplies from abroad to some extent, but in

view of the facts stated, it does not seem reasonable to look

for very low rates. The operations of the Treasury this

week appear to have resulted in a loss, which is a gain to

the banks, of $2,943,327. The interior movement has

been as follows.

The stock market has been fairly active and generally

strong this week. On Tuesday the speculators for a

decline attacked Texas Pacific, and this had the efiect of

temporarily unsettling prices. On Wednesday a move,

meet was made against Canada Southern and the

Grangers, Uut each day after these demonstrations the

marked was rallied, apparently by the joint efforts of the

speculators for an advance, and since then there has

been quite a little manifestation of strength along

the whole line. Thus far the movement seems to be

the result of manipulation, the speculators for a rise

encouraging a short interest and their opponents taking

advantage of temporary dullness and the apparent indis-

position of outsiders, and attacking the market with vary-

ing results. The following shows relative prices of

leading securities in London and New York.

The Governnaent bond market has been active and

strong this week, with a good demand for the new Ss and

the 4 and 4^ per cents. This inquiry was stimulated on

Thursday by the report from Washington that no further

calls for bonds could be made during the current fiscal

year, and it is now pretty generally believed that the new 3s

will have a much longer life than at first seemed. probable.

The Bank of England return for the week shows a loss of

£41,500 bullion and a reduction of 6 3-16 per cent in the

proportion of reserve to liabilities. The Bank of Francelost 9,575,000 francs gold and 8,500,000 francs silver,

and the Bank of Germany, since last report, shows a

decrease of 7,277,000 marks. The following indicates

TH£ IMPROVED STATE OF OUR FOREIGNTRADE.

In its principal features the trade return for November

is the best that has appeared for nearly two years. Wereferred last week to the wonderful change so quickly

brought about in the affairs of the trunk lines under the

influence of the splendid harvest of cereals raised this

season. We may refer now to the equally swift revolu-

tion that has taken place in the state of our foreign trade

under the same influence. From February to September

inclusive we had a monthly merchandise balance against us,

varyingin amount from $19,171,061 in May to $593,760 in

September. In October there was a decided change and wehad a balance in our favor in the sum of $10,113,970.

Now, in November, with a free movement of only one of

our great export staples—cotton—the excess of merchan-

dise exports over merchandise imports rises to the large

total of $25,819,180—a figure that has not been equalled

since January, 1881. To show the movement at each

port, we give the following table of the exports and im-

ports for two years past.

Primarily, the favorable change now recorded is due to

our larger exports, though there is also a diminution in the

imports. The exports were very heavy, reaching an

aggregate of pretty nearly 81 millions—or at the rate of

almost a thousand millions a year. The November total is of

course altogether without a parallel in the previous months

of the year 1882, but it is also almost without a parallel in

the whole of the previous year, there having been but

one month in 1881—March—when the aggregate was

larger. "Yet when we come to the breadstuffs figures, wefind a decrease as compared with November, 1881, of

'

ovei* $2,700,000, which is further augmented by a de-

crease of §1.800,000 in the provisions exports, Making a

falling off of 4^ millions in these two items. As total

exports show an increase on last year of pretty nearly 1

1

millions, it is clear that some of our other staples must

exhibit a very decided augmentation, and au examination

reveals the fact that cotton is the item that accounts for

the greater part of the increase. Of this staple we shipped

during November over seven hundred thousand bales

against less than four hundred and sixty thousand in the

previous November, the actual gain being 245,816 bales.

Of course such very heavy shipments can not be counted

on any considerable length of time, but it is well to state

that in December the movement was even larger, over

750,000 bales having gone out. In the following table wegive the breadstuffs and provisions exports from eachport. It will be observed that in the case of San Fran-

Cisco the decrease shown above in the total exports, is ex-

plained by the falling off in the breadstuffs shipments,

which, as we have often before remarked, were unusually

lieavy'at tliat port last year.

In the imports, too, we see signs of improvement.

November is the first month since July, 1881, that does

not exhibit a larger aggregate than in the corresponding

period of tlie preceding year. The decrease from November1881, is

1J millions, and, besides, the total is smaller than in

any other month this year. It is possibls that the de-

crease is due to the agitation of the question of the re-

duction of tariff duties, but such a theory does not- find

much confirmation in the statement of the quantity of

goods remaining in the warehouses, which on November

30, 1882, was $27,947,622, against $23,830,703 on Nqv.

ember 30, 1881, an increase of $4,116,919. The smaller

imports, combined with the larger exports, have, as stated,

raised the merchandise excess of exports to its present

large aggregate—$25,819,180. This is 12| millions

larger than in November, 1881, and pretty nearly IC mil-

lions above October, 1882, and yet our imports of gold

were smaller than in either of those months. The totaj

influx of that metal in November was only $2,189,062,

while in the previous month it was 3J millions, and in

.November, 1881, $2,962,078. The diSerence is not very

great, and it is satisfactory to note that the movement is

still in f regress, but the very much larger merchandise ex-

cess would lead one to suppose that the influx should be

heavier. The movement was probably checked by the

shipment of bonds to this side, and it is also likely that

the greater part of our exports having been cotton, a good

portion was drawn against some time ago, when the trade

currents were still unfavorable to us, the idea at that time

being to prevent any further outflow of gold from this

country, which fact of course would tend to diminish re-

turn shipments now.

In giving below our usual statement of the individual

items of breadstuSs exports, we' wish to call attention to

the fact that the decrease in values as between Novemberi

1882, and November, 1881, is almost wholly the result of

the falling off in the outward movement of corn—wheat

and flour, when taken together, exhibiting but a slight

decline. Following is the table,

COTTON CONSUMPTION' AND OVJERLAKJ)MOVEMENT TO JANUARY, h ''"'"^^

Our overland movement wft bring down to-day to the

first of January.

OVERLAND MOVEMENT TO JAKUARY 1, 1883.

The gross figures show an increase during the month of

10,034 bales, and for the four months ending with

December 31, they show a decrease as compared with

last season, the difieience in favor of 1881 being

43,753 bales. The net movement, however, is in excess

of last year, the increase during the month being

60,370 bales; and for the four months the figures

reach 413,082 bales, against 323,510 bales for the

corresponding period of 1881, the excess in favor of this

season being 89,572 bales. Presented in our usual form,

the details for the four months this year and last year are

RECEIPTS, EXPORTS AND SPINNERS' TAKJN08.

As shown by our weekly statements, the port movement

in December has been much larger than last year. The

receipts now reach 3,514,473 bales, against 3,253,822 bales

THE CHRONICLK [Vol. XXXVI,

for the same period last seaaon, a difference in fav«r of this

season of 260,651 bales. The receipts during the month

were 1,112,536 bales, against 995,807 bales, an increase of

115,729 bales. The exports to foreign ports also show an

increase, the excess during the month being 206,739 bales,

and for the four months the total is 2,111,013 bales,

against 1,524,074 bales during the same months in 1881,

or a differenca in favor of this season of 580,939 bales.

The stocks at the outports are now 237,090 bales less than

at the same time last year; and at the interior towns the

stocks show a decrease of about 86,000 bales. Our usual

We reach that point by adding to the above the stocks

remaining at that date at the interior towns, less stock

held by them at the beginning of the season. In this

manner we find the result for the two years on January

The cotton goods thjlde in December.

The cotton goods market opened quiet and so con-

titiued uhtil nearly the middle of the month, when a moreactive movement in plain cottons was stimulated by lower

prices. The decline was led by standard sheetings, whichwere marked down ^c. per yard, and other makes of cor-

poralion brown cot'.ons were subsequently reduced from5 to 7A per cent, as a result of which liberal sales wereeffected by manufacturers' agents. Fine bleached shirt-

ings were reduced l^c. per yard, and stocks on hand wereclosed out at the decline. Colored cottons are Hominally

unchanged, but prices favor the buyer in some cases.

Print cloths ruled quiet and firm throughout the month.

RETROSPECT OF 1882.

The couree of business aHairs in the Uuited States

during 1882 was not marked by that continuous develop-

ment and general buoyancy which had been notable in the

three preceding years. Indeed, the slackening of speed

began in some respects in the last half of 1831 ; and from

the first of July in that year, when the country was tem-

porarily paralyzed by the appalling death of its chief

magistrate, there was a change in the spirit of advance,

and almost exaltation, which had taken possession of our

business world since 1878. In 1880 the clearings of the

banks in 22 leading cities amounted in round millions to

$50,000,000,000; in 1881 to $iM,O0O,OOO,OOO; and iu 1882

to $61,000,000,000.

But a careful retrospect of 1882 presents only the view

of a diminishing pressure in the force which had pushed

everything forward, and by no means a retrograde move

ment ; the gross amount of business was, in soma depart.

ments at a maximum—the largest ever transacted in a

single year—but it was in the net proceeds, in the cash

profits realized, that the results were sometimes less satis-

factory than in prior years.

The striking comparison batween the years 1881 and

1882 in the extent of agricultural products stands out in

bold relief. It is estimated that the country produced

440,000,000 bushels more of corn, 130,000,000 bushels

more of. wheat and possibly 1,560,000 bales more, of

cotton in 1882 than in 1881. The agricultural interests

of the United States are not only in themselves far

superior in importance to any others, but their supremacy

is thrown into prominence by the fact that they furnish »

great part of the exports of the country, and thus control

the statistics of foreign trade. The proJuctj of our

mills, factories and mines are mostly consumed at

home, and manufactured articles make a relatively small

proportion of the total value of the country's exports.

For example, in ttie fiscal year ending June 30, 1882,

the total value of exports of domestic merctiandise

amounted to $73.3,000,000, of which $490,000,000 was

made up by cotton, breadstuffs and provisions alone ; in

1880-81 the total value of domestic exports was $SSi,.

000,000, of which $659,000,000 was mide up by the

items mentioned. The exhibit for each fiscal year ending

June 30 was as follows :

In every business ofTace of the land, firat the crop pros-

pects, then the progress of the liarvests, and finally the prob-

able out-turn, are the subjects of constant discussion from

March till November. The widespread failure of crops

from the drought of 1881 became notorious, and on the

first of January, 1882, the fact was apparent that the

country was entering upon a half year of small grain andcotton tonnage, .small exports of produce, and consequently

smaller balances to fall due from foreign consumers. Theexpectations were not disappointed, and in the first La'f

of 1882 the exports of corn, wheat and cotton alone

amounted to $65,000,000 less than in the same peBiod of

1881. The compariso-n of these exports stood as fcllowF.

It was but a corollary of these figures that in the first

half o£ 1881 $22,810,654 of gold and silver came into th*

United States in excess of the exports (3t those metals, aadin the first half ol 1882 $33,456,980. of gold *ni silver

went out of the country in excess of the amounts imported.

The foregoing stalemjnts present with sufficient clear-

ness the great difference between years of good and bad

orops, but as the export trade movement of the six months

ending with June 30 reflects most coiispicuously the result

of the previous year's crops, the full benefit of the great

yield of 1882 had not been shown up to the close of that

year, and it remains for the first six months of 1883 to

exhibit a strong contrast with the corresponding period of

1882, in a very heavy export of domestic merchandise.

For the eleven months ending with Nov. 30 the trade

figures for the United States (latest published) wore briefly

; In no department of business enterprise was there such

astonishing activity developad as in the building of neWrailroads. It had become evident as early aa August,

1881, that the nu nber of new railroads projected, with

their construciion al ready undertaken by responsible parties,

Was so large that the mileage to be finished during the next

eighteen months would assuredly be very heavy. In the

IjjVESTOKs' Scm.sMENTs of August and October, 1881,

elaborate articles were published, giving with much detail

an account- of the railroads in progress and pro-

jected, together with the amount of bonds and stock

of old and new corporations definitely subscribed

for. The totals were so large that the public

was somewhat surprised, and the figures were even

commented upon with severity and undue feeling by »

parties who thought that their interests might be preju-

diced by this exhibit of the real facts of the situation.

Bjut the result fully proved the general correctness of those

Suatistics, and at the close of the year 1882 it is found

that there has been constructed in that year about 11,000

miiles of new railroad, against 9,400 in 1881, and 7,379

miles in 1871, which, prior to 1881, was the heaviest year

on record. Oh the common basis of $25,000 per mile in

bonds and $25,000 in stock, which is by no meansan exaggerated estimate of the average capital ac-

count on new railroads, including both road andequipment, this mileage would furnish the basis for

$550,000,000 in new stocks and bonds at their par value.

Of this amount about one half, or $275,000,000, wouldropresent the amount actually expended on the prop-

erties, and the balance would represent the bonus

di^tributed to the construction companies or the projectors

and promoters of the several enterprises. Ja reference to

this enormous activity in railroad building the Cukokicle

hals remirked that it is highly probable the year 1882 will

remfiin fortver as the maximum year in railroad building

in the United Suites, for, although there will be muchdone hereafter in piecing out various systems by the coa

-that there will ever again be a time when capital will go

Snto railroads so fraely as to induce the constrtiction of

•liSome 11,000 miles in a single year.

There have been very few defaults on railroad bonds,

notwithstanding the large number of new enterprises in

progress, and when the period which preceded the crisis

of 1873 is compared with the present time, it is easily seen

that there is no close analogy between them. The great

difference is noticed mainly in two important particulars

—

first, that the roads now constructed have been built at a

much smaller interest charge, being usually bonded at a

smaller amount per mile and with bonds carrying a rate

of interest 1^ to 2 per cent less per annum than the bonds

of 1870-1873; secondly, that a very large part of the new

mileage constructed has been for the account of old and

strong corporations which have earned for years a large

annual surplus above interest and dividend charges.

These old companies may lose something of their profits

for a few years in operating the new lines of road, and

might in some cases be obliged to suspend dividends on

their stocks for a while, but defaults on their bonds are

without the limit of reasonable probabilities.

For the purpose of showing at a glance the industrial

and financial statistics, which present a sharp comparison

of the two years 1881 and 1882, the following table has

In the iron and steel trade there was a severe depres-

^"sion in the latter part of the year, and steel rails fell to

$40 per ton, while some contracts were actually made at

lower rates. Quite a n imber of mills shut down tempor-

'<*rily, and just about the time Congress met in early

December, there was a great deal of attention directed by

the newspapers to the condition of the iron trade, and

^part of this was believe 1 to be for the purpose of influenc-

' ing Congress against any rsduction of the heavy duties on

iron and steel. The depression, however, which really

existed in the steel rail trade was easily accounted for by

the falling off in the co:istruction of new railroads, and the

orders for future delivery 'on Jan. 1, 1883, were very

much below the amouti' of similar contracts outstanding

at the beginning of 188 2.

In speculative operations, not only at the Stock Ex-

change, but also in breadstuffs, provisions, cotton,

petroleum, and other articles of merchandise, there was a

very widely extendtd interest on the part of the public at

large. Many of the failures in business could be traced

to outside speculative operations, and it could not be

regarded as a favorable circumstance that so many parties

in various kinds of business, and even professional men,

'were ongageif in carrying stocks, produce, cotton, petro-

leum, &C!., on margins. •

Our usual interesting comparison is obtained by bring-

ing forward the figures indicating the general financial

situation in New York at the opening of the present year

and at the same date in eacJh of the two preceding years.

BANK MOVEMENTS.

The changes in the bank returns ia New York City daring the

year were not particularly striking, and much less interesting

than the variations in the preceding year.especially the rise in

deposits to 1346,000,000 and loans and discounts to 1350,000,000

in July, 1881. The circulation ran down about $2,500,000,

partly through the change of a few banks from the National to

the State system. The specie held was nearly the same at the

end as at the beginning of the year, and the legal tenders

increased nearly $3(000,000. The loans an d discounts and tha

deposits showed but very moderate fluctuations.

THE MONET MARKET.

The year began with a fairly easy money market soon after the

first of January, and the supply of funds became sufiBcient, with

call loans at 4(36 per cent. In the latter part of February andearly in March there was some stringency in the rates for moneyon call, and borrowers on stock collaterals paid as high as 1-32

to 14 per day commission in addition to 6 per cent per annum.It will be observed that there is often a wide range in the quo-tations of call loans, and the minimum prices of 3 or 4 per cent

are quoted even during the same weeks when stock brokers

were paying the high rates just mentioned. This is accounted

for by the fact that bond dealers were offered money at low rates

on government bonds eiclusively as collateral, by parties having

trust or other funds in hand, which they would lend on no other

security than government bonds, and with comparatively small

regard to the rate of interest received. These low rates, there-

fore, famish no criterion of the current prices for loans on

ordinary stock collaterals.

One of the principal features of the year was the change ii

the usury law of New York State so as to permit the lending

of money on collateral securities in sums of $5,000 and up-

wards at any rate of interest agreed upon by the parties,

thus practically abolishing the restriction as to rates oi

interest on call loans in New York City. The operatloi

of this law was, upon the whole, satisf ctory to -baiiker

PORSION EXCHAHOB.

The course of the foreign exchanges during the year is

tolerably well indicated by the remarks above concerning the

foreign trade movement. The general prosperity of the three

years ending with 1881 had stimulated the importation of foreign

merchandise, while on the other hand the small crop of 1881

left the United States a small surplus for export. The natural

result followed, and in March, 1882, prime bankers' sterling

bills were quoted at 4 89>^@4 90/^ (the posted rates), against

4 82J^@4 84 in March, 1881, and in the half-year ending June 30,

1882, about $33,500,000 of gold and silver was exported, while in

the corresponding period of 1881 about $23,000,000 was imported.

In the latter part of the year the aspect materially changed,

more from the very large exports of cotton than from anyother single cause, and during tha last three months of 1882

the United States was a receiver of specie from foreign countries

in moderate amounts. The movements of stocks and bondsbetween the New York market and London and Europe wassometimes large, but the total balances on one side or the other

were not such as to be perceptible in the exchanges to anyimportant extent.

"'

HNITBD .STATES BONDS.

The changes in U. S G >vernment bonds were less striking

than in previous years, and aside from t}fp market fluctuations'

the principal matters of interest were the exchange of 3/^ per

cent bonds into 3 per cents under the Act of Congress of July12, 18S2, authorizing the same ; at the close of the year the 3

per cents outstanding were $280,563,950. On Jan. 1, 1883, the

total interest-bearing debt was $1,555,534,600, and on Jan. 1.

1883, $1,392,245,450, a decrease of 1162,289,150; but the total

debt of all sorts, less cash in Tieasury, was $1,765,491,717 onJan. 1, 1882, and $',607,543,676 on Jan. 1, 1883, showing $157,-

948,041 as the actual decrease in the obligations of the Govern-ment during the year. Prices of Government securities werehigher than ever before, and in April the fours of 1967 sold

at 121?4 and in December again reached 121, with accrued in-

terest on.

R.\ILR0iD AND MISCELLANEOUS STOCKS.

The stock market in 1883 showed a trifle less activity io thevolume of business transacted than in the previous year. Intaking a general view of the course of prices, it is found thatthere were three periods of considerable depression, and only in

July and August was there genuine buoyancy in stocks causedby outside purchases uninfluenced by speculative manipulationor the manoeuvres of professional operators.

After showing some strength and animation in the early partof the year, the market collapsed and ran into a condition ofgreat weakness, which culminated in the lowest prices about the23d of February. From this there was some recovery as nego-tiations progressed for the settlement of the trunk-line war, andthe market went on in a feverish conditioa, with frequent fluc-tuations, until t he early part of Maroh^wheXi weakne-ss again setinj and from the 10th to the I8th ther» wasa feeling c ; itcr'-Jls.

ing gloominess, and a large amoaot of stocks was thrownoverboard. On the latter day Mr. Gould made his famonsexhibit at his office, to a few of his influential friends, of alarge amount of his stocks and bonds, to prove that be was inno straits for money, as some of the bear romors had reported.According to the accounts Mr. Gould produced a strong boxfrom which he took a large number of stock certificates, Includ-

ing $23,000,000 of Western Union, $12,000,000 of MissouriPacific, $0,000,000 of Manhattan Elevated. .?2,000,000 of Wabashcommon, and $10,000,000 of bonds of the New York and Metro-politan railways and Wabash preferred stock. The stock cer-tificates were in his own name and most of them fresh, neverhaving been endorsed, and therefore not used as collateral.

He also offered to show some $30,000,000 of railroad bands, butthe gentlemen were satisfied.

This performance was backed tip by some very decidedexpressions made by Mr. Vanderbilt to the newspaper report-ers, on the fide of higher prices, and the railroad war wasannounced to have been positively settled. All these circnm-stances drew in purchasers of stocks, and for some time therewas an active and buoyant market, and much pressure wasexerted to push up prices by all the customary romors andother means used on such occasions. But early in April thewhole scene changed ; there was a pretty strong tone on Satur-day. April 1. but on Monday morning some of the stocks that had

ij been steadily supported before, declined so rapidly an to carry thewhole market with them. For some time the bears had referredto the fact that certain prominent stocks had been kept up to aspecified price, as if a peg was driven in there, and that thepegs were moved from one point to another at the will of themanipulators, and now the pegs were withdrawn, particularlyin Lake Shore, which sold right down about 8 points. Underthe di-sappointment v/hich followed the decline in Lake Shore to110, Western Union to 86, Missouri Pacific to 94^. &c., &c.the whole market became decidedly weak. In addition to thesecircumstances, the renewed exports of specie were not calcu-lated to help matters, and the result was a tone of depressionat the Stock Exchanges in New York and other cities whichwas in strong contrast with the buoyancy of the previous week.There was loud complaint heard on all sides again.st the prom-

in ent operators, who had virtually declared themselves in favorof higher prices and then sold freely of their holdings, andthere was no substantial and healthy recovery in tone till afterthe 1st of July.

When the result of the harvest was pretty well knownin July, there began a genuine and .ictive purchasing move-ment, and the interest of the public in the market waslarger than it had been in a long time. This strengthwas. continued with some variations through Augu.st, butin September there was a check put oa the advancingtendency, and it was generally believed that Mr. Gouldwas then opposing any further rise in the Tmarketalthough his intere.st.s forbade that he should become a decidedbear on prices. The stringency in money afterward assisted

the bear interest, and this was followed by the railroad waramong the companies of the Northwest, so tiat from Septemberto December—when this railroad war was settled—there wasnever a time that the stock market presented a strong andhealthy outlook calculated to invite the investment of newmoney, and much of that time the depre8.slon at the StockExchange was so severe that prices of a number of stocksreached the lowest point made in several years.

The Northwestern railroad war was finally settled aboutDecember 15, and in consequence of that, the tone decidedly

'

improved, and without any great activity the better feeling wasmaintained, with some exceptions, till the close of the year.Any account of the stock market in 1882 would be quite

NEW YOKK, FRIDAY, JAN. 5, 18S3-5 P. M.

The Moiier Market and Financial Situation.—The year

opens with rather a confident tone prevailing in financial circles,

and tliis seema to be warranted by a fair view of the commer-cial outloolc. It was only when we had finished the year

1882, and summed up its general results in comparisonwith former yeais, that a clear perception was ob-

tained of what had really been its controlling in-

fluences. On the 1st of January, 1883. the country stands

with all the main features of January 1, 1883, reversed. Thenthe crops had been very small, grain and cotton had beenforced up by scarcity and speculation to abnormally highprices, and all that could be spared had been rushed forwardto market for home and foreign consumption, leaving verylittle behind in the hands of producers or local merchants.Now the country has yet a great supply of grain and cottonin first hands or local markets, and the movement in the first

half of 1883 promises to be sucli as to draw gold from foreign

countries in considerable amounts—unless, of course, some un-foreseen events should occur to drive our securities back fromforeign holders, or otherwise to disturb the natural course of

trade and the foreign exchanges. This does not necessarily

mean that the stock market wUl be unchangeably buoyant,

but it does mean that the trade prospect and all business^^mat-

ters dependent thereon have a promising future.

On the other side of the question are the consequences to be

felt from the very decided slackening up in railroad building,

and the decrease in certain branches of business which this will

entail. And not an insignificant fact in the same connection

is the creation of some |550,000,000 of new stocks and bondsbased on the 11,000 miles of road constructed in the year 1882.

The money market worked closely just at the opening of

the year, but as soon as the disbursements began to get in cir-

culation, rates quickly relaxed. Early in the week stock,

brokers paid from 7 to 13 per cent for call loans, but latterly 5

to 6 per cent, while government bond dealers have had moneyat 3 per cent. Prime commercial paper is quotedat 5J.^(gi6 percert.

The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday sleweda decrease of £41,500 in specie, and the percentage of reserve

to liabilities was 29J^, against 36 1-6 the previous week ; thediscount rate remains at 5 per cent. The Bank of Francegained 9,575,000 franca gold and 8,500,000 francs silver.

The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statementof Dec. 30 showed a decrease of $1,896,775 in their surplus

reaerve, the total surplus being $3,375,400, against $5,272,175

Dec. 23.

week and a comparison with the two preceding years:

State and Railroad Bonds.—In State bonds there has beeasome little activity, following upon the decision of tiie UnitedStates Court for the Arkansas District in regard to the liability

of the railroads to the State, after they had been foreclosedsome years ago. We venture to suggest that it is by no meanscertain, nor even probable, that this decision will be aflirmedby the Supreme Court of the United States. The Tennesseeliegislature has confirmed the action of the Comptroller inrefusing to pay interest on the compromise bonds. To-dayTennessee 6s old sold at 435^ ; compromise bonds at 46)^/;Louisiana consol 7s, 73^; Ark. 7s, Ft. Smitli, 38, Miss. Oua.6 Red R., 35, L. R. P. B. & N. O., 35^, Central R. issue, 15,

Memphis & L. R., 493^; South Carolina, non-fundable, 6.

Railroad bonds have been active on a good demand, andprices show the immediate effect in their increased firmness.In the past few months this report has frequently referred tothe good opportunity wliich then existed for purchasing bondsfor investment account.The decision of the United States Circuit Court in favor of

dividends on Erie preferred stock, to be paid when earned,will be an important ruling for the holders of income bonds if

it is aflirmed on appeal to the United States Supreme Court.Income bond holders will then have a right to their interesteach year when it is fairly earned, and the money can not bediverted for making betterments.

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The week openedon Tuesday, after the New Year holiday, with a dull and droop-ing market. Money was rather stringent, and the old year hadleft a slight flavor of unpleasantness iu the disappointmentswhich had frequently been realized where profits were ex-pected. But as the week advanced a better spirit was mani-fested, which has been fairly maintained up to the close. Therailroad earnings during the next few months ought to showhandsomely in comparison with last year, and the commercialprospects (except iu the iron trade, which has been overdone)should improve with each week. The trunk lines are unquevtionably doing a large business at profitable rates, and there is

every probability tliat a war in rates will be carefully avoidedby the managers tliis year. The annual statement of Reading'sincome for the fiscal year ending Nov. 30, which is given onanother page, makes a very good exhibit. The Denver & RioGrande and Louisville & Nash-ville stocks were this weekamong the firmest, although the decrease in Denver & RioGrande earnings recently reported naturally works against thatstock.At the special meeting of the directors of the Nickel-Plate

Line, held to-day, the following-named directors were electedfor the ensuing vear : Cornelius Vanderbilt, W. K. Vander-bilt. H. McK. Twombly, W. C. Whitney, J, H. Devereux, I.

Burke, Augustus Schell, Anson Stager, George J. McGee, J.

H. Wade, Charles Hickox, James Tillinghast, D. W. Caldwell.Mr. J. H. Devereux was elected President. It has beenrumored with some confidence tliat $6,000,000 of Lake Shots7 ptr cent bonds, at or near 130, were recently issued to payfor.the Nickel-Plate stock.

ANNUAL REPORTS.

New York New HaTCu & H-artford.

(For the year ending September 30, 1882.)

The report to be submitted at the annual meeting in the city

of New Haven contains the following income account for the

fiscal year terminating September 30, 1882 :

IKCOME m 1882.

The report aays: "There has been a steady increase in the

business of the road during the year. The train mileaije has

increased .from 2,883,626 in 1881 to 3.697.211 thi^ year. To

meet the wishes of the public we have, during the last year,

mn more train.s than the increase of traffic called for, and this

has increased the mileage more in proportion than the business

has increased. Besides, the train mileage this year includes

that of the Shore Line division, which has not heretofore been

the case. It will be borne in mind that in this report the

receipts and expenses of the Shore Line (heretofore reported

separately! are also included.

"Several improvements have been made during the past j;ear

in buildings, bridges, rolling stock, &c. Several new engines

and cars have been added to the equipment, quite sufficient, as

your directors believe, to make the condition of your property

in these respects as good now as it was at the beginning of the

present year. It will be remembered also that from the earn-

ings of last year the sum of $300,000 was set apart to be

applied to permanent improvements thereafter to be made.This sum was charged in last year's expenses as appropriated

for the purchase of lands, bridges and equipment, and has all

been expended during the present year for these various pur-

poses. About $140,000 of it have been expended in buyingadditional lands at Harlem River, Meriden and elsewhere, andthe remaining .'6160,000 have been expended in anew stone archbridge at Westbrook, new guard piers around the supportingpiers of the Shore Line bridge across the Connecticut River,

three new locomotives, and several drawing room and otherpassenger ears." * *

"In September last a lease of the Air Line Railroad to this

company for 99 years was substantially concluded. This lease

was to take the plaê of the pooling arrangement between thetwo companies for the same period. The formalities needful to

the va'.idi y uf the lease were not all completed until November2r)th, when it was almost unanim^)usly approved by the stock-holders of this company, the stockholders of the Air Line Com-pany having approved the same some time in October previous.The various ' cash assets' held by this comp.any, and heretoforereported under that head, are in the report of this year, as will

be observed, treated as a sinking fund. Some of these assetshave been held by the company for several years, though theprincipal item is the investment in the New Haven & North-ampton Company, made last year and mentioned in our last

annual report. The matter of improving the curvature andgrades of our New York division has been under considerationfor the last year or mere, and, in our opinion, the time has comewhen it is safe to assume that the increasing business of theroad will justify a substantial expenditure in this direction.The Board has already taken steps, by way of surveys, etc., to-wards these improvements. These alterations will necessitatethe expenditure of more money for the next year or two thanwill be available from the earnmgs of the road. It is expected,therefore, that they will be carried on with money raised uponthe credit of the company."

COSDEKSED B.VLA.SCE SHEET, OCTOBER 1, 1832.

Gross earnings Of the road^?,9}'fnS

Operating expenses ^'*'*"°

'Set, earnings ,$101,580

The report says :" This is gratifying, when we remember that

the year has been almost wholly devoted to the improvement of

the road, and to urging forward the construction of its various

branches. The local business has increased until now it ammntsto about three thousand dollars per mile, which is sufficient to

pay all operating expenses and fixed charges of the company.

We expect to finish the extensions of the road from Ashford to

Buffalo, and from Salamanca to Beech Tree and to Du Bcis, by-

February next, whea the company will have immediately alarge increase in tonnage of both coal and lumber." * » *

" We succeeded in making a favorable running contract with

the Silver Lake Railroad Company, which corporation is ownedby the Town of Perry located at the head of Silver Lake. This

railroad is about seven and one half miles in length, and con-

nects Perry and Silver Lake with the New York Lake Erie &Western Railrcad at Ea.st Gainesville." » * *

" VTe have, subject to the approval of our stockholders,

effected the purchase, by lease, of the Rochester & Ontario

Belt Line Railroad Company, which runs from North St. PaulStreet, in the City of Rochester, to the port of Charlotte, onLake Ontario, where it owns the most extensive and desirable

dock facilities at that port, as well as the finest grounds for

excursion parties on the lake. « * * The work of building

the Buffalo and Pitts, division of the road has progressed very

rapidly since the lawsuits with the New York Lake Erie &Western Railroad Company have been adjusted. The settle-

ment with that company was made by our company relinquish-

ing its adopted line on the east bank of the Clarion River fromRidgwav south six miles, and accepting in place of it the line

adopted by the iNew York Lake Erie & Western Railroad Com-pany on the west bank of the Clarion." * *

"Track-laying will-commence from Johnsonburgh south aboutDecember 1. From the mouth of Little Toby, up that stream

to Beach Tree and thence across to Falls Creek and DuBois,the grading and bridging is progressing very rapidly, so that

we expect to finish the road to DuBois about February next.

The division from DuBois to Pcnxsutawney, about twenty-five

miles, will be mostly graded this fall, so that the track can belaid in the spring and the road opened to the Punxsutawneycoal fields early next summer." Since the close of the fiscal year

—

i.e., October 5, 1882—thestocfcholders approved of theincrease of the capital .stock of

the company to twenty millions of dollars, divided into twohundred thousand shares of one hundred dollars each. Theobject of this increase was to purchase and cancel the intendedissue of three millions two hundred thousand dollars of the

income bonds of the Buffalo and Pittsburg division, and for thepurchase of the entire capital stock of the Perry Railroad Co.,

and the Broeksvayville & Punxsutawney Railroad Company,and also to purchase the entire capital stock of the Rochester& Pittaburg Coal & Iron Company. This latter corporatioaowns the most desirable coal fields in Jefferson Cjunty, Pa.,

has three hundred thousand dollars cash working capital, andno bonded or floating debt. The four millions of dollars ofcapital stock of the Rochester & Pittsbur"? Coal & Iron Co.which our company now owns and holds in its treasury as anasset, is a most valuable acquisition, as it renders our companyalways sure of having a large coal tonnage at good payingrates."

GENERAL INVESTMENT NEWS.Arkansas nnllroad JJonds.—The press dispatches from

l.ittla Uock, Ark.. Decoraber 30, said: '-Iq 186S the State Legis-liiturB passed nn act lending the State crfidit to railroad com-punifH to thrt extent of $10,000,000. Bonds to various railroads'.v

! i.-^-sund for nearly .'fi;,000,000. Sub.«equently the StateSlip; lao Court decided that the act had not been legally passed.

fcifSfial months ago W. C. Tompkins, a holder of bonds issuedby th.> Little Rock & Fort Smith Railroad, filed a bill iu theitnited States Circuit Court at Little Rook to compel that com-pany to pay the State bonds, and to foreclose the State lien onthe railroad. The railroad company filed a demurrer. Th«Circuit Court, in an opinion written by Indi^-* CalUvfll of t):e

United States District Court, and concuiTed in by JudêMeCrary of the United States Circuit Court, has overruled thedemurrer, holding that the Hen in favor of the .State to secure

the payment of the State bonds loaned to the original companyis paramount to the lien created by the subsequent mortgage,under which the defendant claims, and that the holders of theState bonds are entitled to be sabrogated to the lien of theState to secure their payment. The Court further holds thatthe decision of the Supreme Court of the State, that Statebonds are not binding obligations of the State, in nowise affects

. the rights of bondholders against the company, or the validity

*0f the statutory lien to .secure their payment. The bonds'aifected by this decision represent nearly one half of the dis-

puted debt of the State."The Little Rock Gazette comments on the deciBion as

'.follows:" As already explained, the railroad aid bonds were l».sued by tlie

State nndcr tlio act of 1868. They wpre accepted and used by fiverailroad companies, to wliicli the following issues of bonds were made:Little Ilock* Forth Smith $1,000,000Little Kock Pino Bluff & New Orleans 1,200.000Mlasinsippi Ouachita & Red River J......-.......;.. 000,000Meiniihis & Little Kook i....„i.. 1,200.000Arkansas Central 1,350,000

Total........ .; $5,350,000" To whioh cum must be added twelve years' interest at seven per

cent." Tho Memphis <fe Little llock Railway Company owns and holds

$333,000 of the $1,200,000 bonds originally issued to that corporation,and tho bonds owned and held by tho Little Rock Sc Fort Smitli R.iil-wiiy Conipany aniouiit to $1311,000. These bonds were p'orehased yearsii;,'ii upon advice of counsel, at very low figures, with a view of hedgingn,;ilust ii po.sslblc decision hy the courts holding the railroads and not theSiatn li:i^)lc for the bunds issued to those corporations. Tho remainderarc out.Htanding." • • *

'•Of the railway corporations above named, all bat one—the ArkansasCentral, which is understood to be in a bad oondition—are thoroughlyrcspousible, and fuily able to liquidate the claims duo on the.'ie bunds.Two of them, as already explained, have taken the xirecautiou to soprovide as to make settlement ea.sy should tho recent decision beBlllrmed by the Supreme Court of the United Htates. . » . «

•' Tlie i(iiestious involved iu these suits are of vital importance to thep<Ml)li', or Arkansiis. Of the railroad bonds authorized under the act ofISiiS thu issue to the railroads acgregatcd .$5,350,000. Thoy form alurt of tlie grand tot il of .$13,000,000 for years past in ilispute. and toprovriit tUc payment of which the proposed ** Amendment No. 1" to thecon..itii utiou of tho State of Arkansas was framed and submlttod to theiinaliUcd electors in 1830."

Augusta & Knoxville.— This railroad company has failed topay the January interest on their bonds of $630,000. A meet-ing of the stockholders has been called to endeavor to providemeans to pay the interest. The road is in operation fromAugusta to Greenwood, S. C, a distance of 70 miles.

Boston Iloosac Tunnel & Western.—At Boston, Jan. 4, it

was voted by the directxjrs of this railway that all work west ofthe proposed connection of their road with the West Shoreline, at a point about five miles west of Schenectady, should bestopped, and that all «f their road's interests west of that pointto Syricuse should be sold to the West Shore Company. TheBoston'^ Iloosac Tunnel & Western Company is to confine itsefforts to developing and improving its present road from theMa-si-achusetts State line to a connection with the Erie Canal,and the New York Central & West Shore roads a few mileswest of Schenectady, and of its branches from Mechanicsvilleto Saratoga Springs. Joint contracts also have been enteredinto whereby the Boston Hoosae Tunnel & Western road will beu.sed by the West Shore Company for its principal New Knglandconnection by way of the tunnel.—Justice Lawrence, in Supreme Court, Chambers, last week,

granted an injunction in favor of the Boston Hoosae Tunnel &West. R. R. Co., restraining the Continental Construction & Im-provement Co., a»d others from parting with the possession ofcertain bonds, and Geo. J. Forrest and others from receiving pos-session of them. The suit ia declared by members of the Con-struction Company to be a friendly one for the purpose of pro-tectiiiif alike the interests of the railroad and tne ConstructionCompany. The managers are virtually the same in both com-panies. The litigation marks tho abandonment of the schemefor the construction of the Boston Hoosae Tunnel & Western

Railroad to Baffalo, as originally contemplated by O^neralBurt, the projector of the original MaMachosetbs road.

Chlcngro Bnrlhijfton ft Qnincy.—Tb» Biston Herald wyn"The report about tli- ! - of bonds and ntock U brooghforward as a new disc h it Is not by any meanm. A I

of th« facts have beeni

id from time to »'"'" ^-^ ' •<»" '^f

tba day. The expected decrease ia net em v

IS82, as compared with ld81, was given ii. n

some days .ago.^ However, as the subject is bruught to

public attention' in a way which affects the valnnof the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Kecurities, it maybe said that tlin net earoings of the road from Janaarv 1 toNovember 1, 1862, show a comparative bsa over 1881 (f§373.4tJG; for November a gain of about $160,000, while the n»-t

for Deceirber will be about ths same a.s last year. This wouldmake a net lo.ss for the year of, sav, $223,000 on a rail.-age in-

creased about 400. Theamount of Chicago Burlington & Quincystock January 1, 18S2, was $55,203,700. The amount to-day is

$6a,505,3;'0, showing an inorea.se of 114,241,600, which is madeup of $7,895,000 Denver extension stock (constituting a pirt ofthe block securities), the $6,318,000 issued in September, and$28,000 from the conversion of branch line stocks and bonds.The bonds issued during the year are, in round numbers,$12,000,000 4 per cents (making the total funded debt about$71,000,000), $4,000,000 being en account of the purchase of theBurlington & Southwestern road and the balance on account ofthe Denver extension. The Denver extension stock camein on the September dividend and the $6,000,000 receivesits first dividend this December. The decrr'ase in earningsfor the year, compared with 1881, is between ^ and }{i of 1 percent only on the stock, and in no wise affects the payment ofdividends, which have been at 2 per cent each quarter, and areclaimed to have been earned this year."

The gross earnings for the six months ending Dec, 31, 1881,were $1,291,241, showing a gain this year of $119,538. Theoperating expenses for the six months ending Dec. 31, 1881,were $732,386, showing an increase in expenses this year overlast of $128,325. The net earnings for the six months endingDec. 31, 1881, were $558,855, showing a decrease this year of$8,787. The above earnings are on the same mileage for bothyears, the earnings of the Kankakee & Seneca road being keptseparate. " The large increase in operating.eipenses this yearis due to the extraordinary repairs and improvements made in

the road-bed between Sunman's and Lawrencebnrg Junction."The average charge to locomotive repairs during the threeprevious years (in the corresponding six months) has beenabout $30,000; this year it has been $65,000, of which sum$27,449 was for rebuilding five engines, in addition to the usualordinary repairs. The increased operating expenses occasionedby this extraordinary work on roadbed and bridges, as shown bythe books, amount to over $125,000. Deducting these extra-

ordinary expenses from the operating account, the net earn-ings would show over five per cent on the capital stock for thesix months, over and above the fixed charges.

JYew YorkTribune, Jan. 3.

New York Lake Erie & Westeni.-Judge Wheeler, of theUnited States Circuit Court, has rendered an important decision

in the actiun of T. Nichols and others against the New YorkLake Erie & Western Railroad Company and others It, wassought to establish in the action that the holders of Eiie pre-ferred stock are entitled to dividends at the rate of 6 per centper annum in every year that the net profits of the year, asdeclared by the board c.f directors, are sufficient to pay thesedividends. The Eiio directors fur the year endicg September30, 1881', reported earnings as $18,693,108; operating expenses,$11,643,925; net earnings from traffic, $7,049,188; earnings fromother sources, $783,956; making a total of $7,S8?,100. Fromthis was deducted interest oa lundtd debt, &c., $6,042,519,leaving net profits of $4,790,620. A dividend of 6 per cent uponthe outstanding preferred stock would amount to $489,403. Thewhole amount of net pii fits, together with $737,119 receiveddniing the year Ir.im atses^-menls on stock, was applied by thedirectors to the building of double tracks, erection of build-ngsat.d acquiiing other propeity. And they resolved that it wasnot wife or eipedient to declare a dividend upon the preferredstock'. Judge Whet* ler said :

net earniags and profits, but not In this respect. What would be MtearniuER -would be a profit unless there should bo some liiiiiility sutsrae

ths earnings to be met before there could be any profit left."

After citing a long list of authorities, Jadge Wheeler con-

tinned :

"When it comes to the question of nsing the profits which would go tcone set of stockholders for the benefit of another set. a more rigid rule

should be applied. The question becomes one of right to be determinedby law rather than one of policy to be determined at the discretisn of

the directors. Here were profits iu fact, and the preferred stockholdershad rights dependent upon this fact. These rights lawfully could notbe passed by for the benefit of other interests, however intimately con-

nected, any more than other property of the preferred stoek-

holders could heappioiriated to the same purpose, on the ground thatsuch appropriation of it would be for the best good of the whole. . . .

It is further sugeested that it these profits were so situated that any-one became entitled to share in them on account ot the preferred stock,

that right would attach to the holders at that tiiue and would not passto the orators by a mere tran.ster of the stock afterward. Fullydeclared dividends might or might not so pass. But here is no declara-tion of a dividend upon this stock separating the share of the profits

from the other assets belonging to the stock. The right to share in theseprofits remained as a mere Increment of the stock, and would pass asincident to it."' The court ordered a decree to be made in accordance vfith

the prayer in the bill of complaint.An executive officer of the Erie Railroad said that the com-

pany would carry the case to the United States Supreme Court.

A claim made by the State of Pennsylvania for about $95,000for Statjj tax on loans for year 1882 is now being contested bythe receivers, and is not included above.—A dispatch in the N. Y. Times from Philadelphia, January

3, said: '•Pre.sident Gowen of the Reading Railroad Company,when asked as to the truth of the rumor noticed in the Timesto-day that he wtis negotiating for the sale of $5,000,000 ofgeneial mortgage bDUds, sa d that he would say nothing on thesubject btftre the publication of his plans for the relief of thecompany. It was learn-d, however, from a leading financier ofthis city, who took a part of the bonds himself, that the salehad been consummated. The Reading general mortgage pro-vides fiir four classes of bonds, comprising among others$5,000,000 of 7 per cents which have never been issued. It is

these 7s whose sale has just been tffecttd. They were sold forcash at par. The gentleman referred to, who has vn-y intimaterelations with Mr. Gowen, when asked how it could benefit thecompany to Hoat this amount of bocd-i beaiingsuch a hiph rateof interest, said that it would enable the citnnany to finish pay-ing off its floating debt, redeem the receivers' certilicates, anddischarge the receivership, and that the 7 Der cent bonds couldbe called in and paid off at the pleasure of the company. It isknown to be Mr. Gowen's opinion that any or all of the generalmortgage bonds can be called for the sinkmo- fund of that loan,but many good lawyers do not agree with him on that point."

The cotton market reopensd on Tuesday morning under a

feeling of much depression, due to the large movement of the

crop and the declining foreign markets. As a result there

was a decline in futures to the extent of 13@15 points.

"Wednesday opened at a further decline, January dropping

below ten cents a pound for middling uplands, but a steadier

close at Liverpool caused a brisk demand to corer contracts,

- and a sharp advance in prices. Tliere was, however, renewed

depressfon on Thursday, Liverpool being again weak. To-day

the lowest figures of the seafôn were reached, and the market

. was without effective rally, the goods trade being unsatisfac-

'tory, while the receipts encourage the larger crop estimates.

- Cotton on the spot declined l-16c. on Tuesday and again on

"Wednesday, and trade has continued dull. To-day the market

was nominally unchanged, but weak, at lOi^c. for middling

uplands. For future delivery, the close was easier for tho

early months and 1 point dearer for the distant deliveries.

The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 521,500

jbeJes. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week

2,788 bales, including — for export, 1,538 for consumption,

•BO for speculation and 600 m transit. Of the above, 250 bales

••were to arrive. The following are the official quotations for

each day of the past week.

Reobipts prom thb Plantations.—The following table laprepared for the pnrpo.se of indicating the actual movement eachweek from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are some-times misleading, as they are made up more ^rgely one yearthan another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reachtherefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statementlike the following. In reply to frequent inquiries we will addthat these figures, of course, do not include overland receiots orSouthern consumption; they are simply a statement of theweekly movement from the plantations of that part of the cropwhich finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

The above statement shows—1. That the total receipts from theplantations since September 1, 1882, were 4,053,621 bales; inlsdl-82 were 3,703,776 bales; in 1880-81 were 3,863,660 bales.

2. That, although the receipts at the out-ports the past weekwere 224,997 bales, the actual movement from plantations was228,789 bales, the balance going to increase the stocks atthe interior towns. Last year the receipts from the planta-tions for the same week were 139,502 bales and for 1881 theywere 85,374 bales.

Ajioust op Cotton in sioht January 5.—In the table belowwe give the receipts from plantations in another form, andadd to them the net overland movement to January 1, andaLso the takinfjs by Southern spinners to the same date, so as togive substantially the amount of cotton now in sight.

New Orieans reported below high-water mark of 1871 until

Sept. 9, 1874, when the zero of gauge was changed to high-water

mark of April 15 and 16, 1874, which is 6-lOths of a foot above

1871, or 16 feet above low-water mark at that point.

Jute Burra, Baoqino, &c.—There is no change to report in the

bagging market in the way of orders, and business continues

quiet, scarcely any inclination being shown to take large parcels,

while in a small way only a light demand is reported. Prices

are easy and sellers are quoting G%c. for 1^ lbs., T%c. for

IM lbs., 8c. for 2 lbs. and 8%c. for standard grades. Butts

are in model ate demand, a few small transactions beingreported ; but we hear of no important sales. The orders con-

tinue fair, but they are for small parcels, though in the aggregatea considerable amount of stock has been placed. Prices are

about steady, and the market closes with sellers asking 2 7-16@2^c. for paper grades and 2 9-16@2 ll-16e. for baggingqualities.

India Cotton Movexbnt from all Ports.—We have duringthe past year been endeavoring to rearrange our India serviceso as to make our reports more detailed and at the same timemore accurate. Hitherto we have found it impossible to keepout of our figures, as cabled to us for the ports other thanBombay, cargoes which proved only to be shiprnt-nts frum oneIndia port to another. The plan we have now adopted, as wehave reason to believe, will relieve us from the danger of thisinaccuracy and keep the totals correct. We first give theBombay statement for the week and year, bringing the figuresdown to January 4.

tlio common br^n^s, Prloaa liavo beon weak, but more espe-

cially for the higher grades, and the supply of all kinds In

been liberal. 3To-day the market was quiet and steady.

Wheat has advanced 2c , owing to higher markets in Europe,

floods in Germany, fears of a drought in California, small re-

ceipts at the West and a good demind for export, though the

foreign trade has been curtailed to some extent by the com-

parative scarcity of No, 2 red wheat in railroad elevator, ex-

porters preferring this grade, wliile the scarcity .and flrmneSS of

ocean tonnage have likewise served to restrict business. Op-tions showed little activity until Thursday, when a large busi-

ness took place. To-day the market was very firm for cash,

but options, after an advance of }2@}i«., weakened somewhat;No. 2 red sold at $1 10%@$1 IVA for -Tanuary, $1 13@§1 13Yafor February, ?1 n@U 15/i for March, $1 M@U 17^ for Apriland $1 17@$l 17M for May.Indian corn has bsen in better demand for export, owing

mainly to the fact that there has latterly been a paying mar-gin on the Liverpool market, and prices have advanced hereIc. to 2,^0, The fljoda in Germany have also contributed to

the advance. The receipts at the West have been large at

times, but the inspection has proved irregular and latterly un-favorable. The lower grades have been ia good demand of late

for mixing with other grades. Options, within a day or two, havesold quite freely under the stimulus of the European advices,

and have recovered an eaily decline. To-day the market was/!3@/4c. highor, but options towards the close became we.aker;

No, 2 mixed sold at Cic. for January, 65 J-so. for February, 65.^c.for.'Vpril and 64^. for May.Rye has been quiet and without marked change. Barley has

been moderately active and about steady. Oats have been iabetter demand at some advance; there is a large stock here,but it is mostly held by two houses, and the receipts at theWe.st have latterly shown a marked decrease. To-day themarket was firm on the spot, but slightly lower for futures; No.2 mixed sold at 45M^45^c. for January, 46>4@i65ô. for Feb-ruary, 46^@465'8e. fur March.The following are closing quotations:

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.Friday. P. M., January 5, 1833.

As a whole the dry goods trade has been quiet the past week,

but there was'a freer movement in certain kinds of spring

goods on account of orders placed some time ago—large deliv-

eries of white goods, spring hosiery, knit underwear, &c.,

having been made in this connection by manufacturers' agents.

There was also a steady reassorting demand for seasonable

goods at first hands, which is likely to continue for some time

to come, as it is generally understood that jobbers in most parts

of the country are carrj'ing oxceptioually light stocks. There

was very little animation in the jobbing branches of the trade,

but a cheerful feeling prevails, and the o'dtlook is regarded

hopefully.

Domestic Cotton Goods.—The exports of cotton goods for the

week were 1,074 package?, Including 406 to Great Britain, and

the remainder, in comparatively small lots, to other markets.

Fair quantities of plain and colored cottons were delivered by

agents in execution of back orders, but the current demand

was only moderate, relatively few buyers having yet appeared

in the market. The movement in white goods, such as Victoria

lawns, nainsooks, lace checks and stripes, &c , was quite active,

liberal shipments having been made by agents on account of

orders on record. Print cloths were quiet and barely steady at

last quotations, and prints were lightly dealt in, aside from

shirtings, in which fair traasactions were stimulated by the low

prices prevailing at present.

Domestic Woolex Goooa.—There was a limited amount of

new business in men's-wear woolen.s, with most relative activity

in popular makes of all-wool and cotton-warp cassimeres; and

agents continued to make fair deliveries of spring suitings,

cassimeres, worsteds, &c., on account of former orders. Over-

coatings, cloakings and repellents were seasonably quiet, and

the demand for flannels and blankets was light and irregular.

S8 THE (CHRONICLE. [Vol. XXXVI.

Some fair tales of Kentucky jâns were made at prices which

favored the bnyer, and satinets moved slowly. Spring dress

goods have received some attention, but fall and winter fabries

ruled quiet, and shawls, skirts, woolen hosiery, heavy under-

wear and fancy knit woolens were dull in first hands.

FoREiON Dky Goers have been quiet with importers, and the

jobbing trade was strictly moderate. Spring importations will

shortly be opened, and an improved demand for imported

fabrics may reasonably be looked for iu the early future.

Impartatlons of Dry Goods,

The Importations of dry goods at this port for the weekending Jan. 4, 1883, and since January 1, and the same facts

for the corresponding periods of 1882. are as follows:
