CLEARINO HOUSE RETURNS.Mainly on account of the abatement of speculation during
the week, but perhaps partially in consequence of the lessenedbusiness activity which immeiliatelv precede.s an election, theexchanges for the six days ending Octo^ier 31 record a declinefrom the two preceding weeks. The exhibit is nevertheless avery favorable (iue, and in comparison with the correspondingweek of 1884 (when the clearings showed a decided falling offdue to the disturbing influences accompanying the Presi-dential election), there is an increase in the total of 39 per cent.New York Stock Exchange share transactions for the weekreached a market value of |127,768,000, against f56,800,000for the same period a year ago.
they exhibit an increase over the same months a year ago o10 -4 per cent.

As our statcmfnts from week to week have indicated, the ex-changes for ihe monlhof Octoberreach avery large afrgregaie.In fact the total for the whole country exceeds that for thesame month of 1884 by |953,574,387, a gain of 27 3 per cent.The ten months c.l the present year exhibit a decline from thecorresponding peiiod of last year of 14-3 per cent, but out-Kide of New York the falling off reaches only 4 per cent.The imj.rovement in exchanges dates back to the first of July,and taking the figures for the four months since that time
Our telegraphic returns of exchanges for the five days areof an exceedingly satisfactory character. At New York,where the figures cover only four days, there is a consider.ibleincrease over the figures for the preceding five d lys and atthe other cities large g-iins are the rule. Compared with 1884the aggregate records an excess of 47-7 per cent, and with NewYork excluded the margin in favor of this year reaches 19*5
per cent.

506 THE CHRONICLE. [Vol. XLI.
THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.The tendency towards a closer market for money was
further developed this week, though the extreme fluctua-
tions for bankers' balances are not a measure of the
change, but evidence rather of manipulation which always
accompanies smaller reserves and a hardening in the rates.
The feature has been a rise on call at the Stock Exchange,
Wednesday, to 10 per cent, at which small amounts were
loaned. That is the highest figure touched since the last
week in June, 1884. In the present case, however, the
news of the flarry, which quickly spread, made the supply
BO abundant that loanable funds were soon oSeted at 2
per cent. In the meantime a few of the banks and at
least one banking house succeeded in placing round amountsat 6 and 7 per cent, thus making the average for the
day 4 per cent. On Thursday loans were renewed in the
morning at from 3 to 4 per cent, but in the afternoon the
supply became very plentiful, bringing the average for the
day down to 2| per cent. Yesterday the fluctuations
were less important, but the day's average was the same.
While the upward movement on Wednesday was, as
stated, exceptional and in a sense strictly artificial, it
should be remembered that such spasms are only possible
and accompany every occasion when money is growing in
activity, and to that extent, therefore, are a natural
symptom of the changing situation. Furthermore the
decided relief the market since then has experienced, is
also exceptional, due in good part to a special cause. It
seems that on Wednesday, under orders from Washing-ton, the Sub-Treasury transferred two million dollars in
legal tenders, and on Thursday transferred $2,145,000more, to our Clearing House banks in exchange for the
fractional silver the banks took from the Treasurer aboutthe 28th of July last. The total originally taken was$5,915,000, but the banks have since then drawn about$600,000 of the amount for the use of their customers, so
there seems to be something over a million dollars left
which will probably speedily be arranged, if it has notalready been. The importance as a relief to our moneymarket of this transaction is, that it made available thatamount of funds which, although under the ruling of theComptroller of the Currency was all the time counted in
the reserve, was not such an item as any conservativebank would freely loan upon, especially with countrybank deposits at their present high figures. It is to be eai I
further that the higher rates which have prevailed of late,
have tended to check in some measure the flow of moneyinto the interior, and that has also helped to relieve thegrowing urgency of the demand.
Our foreign exchange market has remained' quitefeatureless. The only new condition has been the upwardmovement in money in London, which has been watchedby our bankers quite closely and has made further pro-gress, the open market rate being now 2 per cent against1| per cent last week. This decided advance from a merenominal figure is in no degree due to a trade demand,but is explained by the statement that in lieu of advancingthe Bank minimum and thu3>eeking to check the outflowof gold which has been kept up for some time to theContinent, the Bank governors borrowed on consols theoSerings pressing on the market. This is of course a tem-porary expedient which may serve its purpose, but if not,will we presume be followed by an advance in the officialminimum, the open market being in a conditionnow to respond quite readily to such a movement. Thefeeling in London seems to be that in view of the criticalstate of affairs in the Balkan peninsula, of the higherrates for money on the Continent, and the low condition of
the gold reserve of the Bank of England, an advance in theofficial rate cannot long be safely delayed; this view hasdoubtless been reflected here, and has served to steady theExchange market the past week, our bankers not beingdisposed to sell liberally while these uncertainties con-
tinued. But as the Bank rate was not raised on Thursday,an easier feeling prevailed, and yesterday with a better
supply of bills rates for exchange were marked down one-half cent.
The payment this week to the banks by the Government,noted above, of over four million dollars, brings into boldrelief the remarkable change in the situation of the UnitedStates Treasury in the eight months of this administration
and especially since July last. This is so important afactor in any forecast of the future that too great prom-inence can scarcely be given to it. and the monthly figures
issued this week furnish the material for an estimate of
the work accomplished. The significant feature to benoticed is, how closely the character of the revenues hasresponded to the changes made in management, the
results quickly shaping themselves so as to conform withgreat exactness to the calculations of the officials insti-
tuting the changes. The Government's embarrassmentat the start was two-fold
; it could neither getsilver out nor keep it from coming in
; so
that the conversion of the Treasury assets into
silver wholly was only a question of time, per-
haps merely of a few months. Our readers know howthis situation was reached, but as the remedies used andthe results secured form such a simple, graphic illustration
of correct principles applied to currency derangement, wecannot help repeating the facts. The embarrassment grewout of the forced issue of silver certificates, tha't is payinga premium (the cost of exchange on some Southern, West-ern, or Eastern city) to any one who would deposit goldhere and take an order payable in certificates at such city.
By this means the Secretary of the Treasury had on thefirst of last January got into circulation of these certificates
a net of about 115 millions, and they were being turnedback on the Government to such an extent that over 41per cent of its entire revenue was being paid in them,thereby converting its assets into silver so rapidly that
there seemed no escape from silver payments. Therelief applied was first to stop this forced issue. Everyone could obtain silver certificates as readily as before
but the payment of the premiuaa, that is inducement for
taking them, was discontinued. Under that process the
amount outstanding has decreased each month, the total
being on the first of November about 9,3 millions net
against 115 millions on the first of January, while the
revenue has been changing until for two months now it
has become almost wholly gold again. We give belowour usual table of the kinds of currency our monthlycustoms receipts have been paid in at New York for
three years, which brings out all these facts clearly andforcibly.

That is to say, the foregoing shows, whereas last year
the revenues continued for the corresponding months to
bo a third or more in silver, and from that rising subse-
quently for one or two months to 42 per cent silver, this
year during the last three months (for not till then had
the new policy become effective) they have been, only
about 13 per cent silver in August, about 10 per cent in
September, and about 1 1 per cent in October.
But that was not the only change the Treasury Depart-
ment made. It also stopped issuing bills under five dol-
lars, so as to get its silver into active use. As the coin-
age of dollars at the rate of two to two and a half mil.
lions a month was all the time in progress, of course it
was desirable that that amount should be made available
and not be idle. Here also it has been equally successful in
reversing the current, having for the last two months
not only got out its entire silver coinage, but in the same
period actually further reduced its aggregate holdings o^
standard dollars and subsidary coin nearly 2 million dol-
lars. Now turning to the gold account which was and is
really the objective point (and in that we include legal
tenders as the equivalent of gold), it is found
that the net over and above the hundred
millions legal tender reserve, which was $39, .392,000 in
May, .$39,302,000 in June, and $35,760,000 in July, has
been gradually increased since the last mentioned date
until on the Ist of November it reached $69,888,000—j^nd
what does that mean ? It means an entire restoration of
public confidence in the ability of the Treasury Depart-
ment to sustain itself ; it means the removal of a fear
that was oppressing all our industries ; and it also affords,
as we have already stated, a most forcible illustration
of the wisdom and efiBcacy of sound principles applied to
currency issues.
With such a change in the financial condition of the Gov-
ernment, from a state of threatened repudiation to one of
complete security, it is no wonder that our people have be-
come trustful and gone to work again. This improvement
in our industries is getting to be more and more general, if we
may credit the reports"we are receiving. There has to be sure
been a decided lull in some departments during October,
but other trades have in the meantime shown greater life,
so altogether progress appears to be making, and if it is not
checked by some foolish action in Congress, there seems no
reason why it should not further develop. We have this week
prepared our monthly statement of clearings, which even
after making a fair estimate for, and deducting the transac-
tions of a purely speculative origin, still leaves legitimate
business represented by a very considerable increased move-
ment; and what is peculiarly favorable is that the increase
is a progressive one, not on'y in its comparison with last
year but also in its relation to previous months of this
year, as will be seen by a reference to the following, from
which it appears that while in August the exchanges were
2,9S4 millions, in Saptember thay were 3,112 millions and
in October as much as 4,449 millions.

Strength, buoyancy and great activity have also beenthe distinguishing features of our Stock Exchange mar-
kets the past week. There ha« been no let up in the
movement towards higher prices. On the contrary, each dayseems to add new xeat to the speculative fever. Taerehavebeen reactions, one of them very much in the nature of aslump, and yesterday there was some weakness at the
close, but the ardor of the operators for higher prices haa
not been dampened thereby. Among the special atimulanta
this week have been of course the meeting of the trunk
line presidents for the adoption of the new pooling agpree-
ment, and the ratification by New York Central stock-
holders of the lease of the West Shore road. The details
of the pooling arrangement were not fully known, but the
Street did not bother itself about that ; it was sufficient to
know that apparently there was a unanimous determin-
ation to let no obstacle stand in the way of a satisfactory
and lasting agreement.
The feature of the new arrangement to which we should
be inclined to ascribe most importance is the proposition
to make the trunk lines responsible for the action of their
Western connections. It is these Western connections
that have caused all the trouble heretofore. They would
cut rates, and the Eastern lines would be withoit
remedy. But it will be remembered that at
the previous meeting of the Presidents, the latter
part of September, when the advance in rates to gointo effect early in October was approved, very stringent
resolutions were passed pledging the roads not only to
maintain the tariff, but to refuse to pro-rate with any con-
necting road that should cut rates, even if the full amount
of the cut be borne by such connecting road itself. Such a
step was a necessary preliminary to any effective arrange-
ment for maintaining rates, and the trunk lines were also
forced to it in self-protection. Having this power, the
Eastern lines are now, it would seem, to be held account-
able for all transgressions of the Western lines. We need
hardly say that the connecting roads are to have representa-
tion on the Joint Committee, which will be made up of
their representatives and the members of the trunk line
Executive Committee, but great care apparently has been
taken to keep full control of the matter in the hands of
the trunk lines, for it is provided that in the event of a
failure of this Joint Committee to agree, the Executive
Committee alone shall decide on appeal.
It is not the trunk-line group of stocks, however, that
has been most prominent in the rise this week. It is
rather the stocks of roads in the Northwest. These have
shown remarkably favorable earnings for the last week of
October, and under that stimulus their shares have been
pushed up in a noteworthy manner. St, Paul was made
the special feature, and advanced to 95J, from 88^ at the
close the previous Friday, the close yesterday being 94|.
This road had quite large earnings in October last year, its
receipts then having increased $8,668 at a time when other
roads were falling materially behind, and now has the
large gain of $352,204 additional. With the rise in St.
Paul all the other^ranger stocks sympathized, though not

in the same degree. Union Pacific was also higher, on
reports of large purchases for foreign account. Manhat-
tan Elevated was aided by the announcement that some
new names were to go on its directory. Western Union,
after an early rise, suddenly developed great weakness, but
the course of that stock has latterly been very erratic, and
its fluctuations do not exert much influence on the general
range of values.

THE REDUCTION OF THE PENNSYLVANIARAILROAD DIVIDEND.
The action of the Pennsylvania Railroad managementthis week, in reducing the semiannual dividend from 3
per cent to 2 per cent—that is, from 6 to 4 per cent perannum—will, we think, be everywhere commended.Though earnings thus far in the year have not been favor-
able, the financial position of the company is such that it
could unquestionably have continued the old rate of diatri-
bution. The temptation to do so is always strong. Pridein maintaining 6 per cent dividends, especially at a time
when other companies come down to merely nominal figures,
or else pass their dividends, naturally proves a strong
influence to resist. But the managers in this case
were evidently not amenable to such considerations, being
in their action governed by what they deem best for the
company's interests, regardless of sentimental considera-
tions.
That such a policy commands favor and inspires public
confidence is evident, too, from the way the reduction in
the dividend was received on our Stock E.^cchanges. The
event was unexpected, so when first announced, Monday
afternoon, it caused a sharp fall in the shares of the road
in the Philadelphia market, in which decline the NewYork market sympathized. On Wednesday, however,
(Tuesday having been election holiday), the tempo-
rary adverse eSects had already passed away, there was a
decided recovery, the New York market opened active
and higher, and the reduction was universally accepted as
only another proof of the caution and prudence with
which trunk-line people are conducting their affairs at
present. The same view apparently had been taken in
the London market, where so much of the Pennsylvania
stock is held, and the comparative equanimity with which
the occurrence was regarded there, imparted additional
strength to our own market, and increased the feeling of
confidence so generally entertained in the situation.
Time was—and it dates back only a few short months
—
when an event of this character would have been cited as
just one more circumstance indicating the inherent weak-
ness of things, and have precipitated a heavy and con-
tinuous decline in values. But the conditions have
changed, and perhaps also we are learning to look at
such matters in their proper light. In London, even
more than in the United States, it is beginning to be
understood that a period of depression represents not a
normal but an abnormal state of industries, that the
results of such a period must of necessity be poor, and
cannot therefore be accepted as a guide to what may b&
accomplished in good or even average periois. Moreover,
that at such unpropitious times when profits everywhera
are cut down to small dimensions the railroads cannot
be expected to stand alone ia keeping up the old
return on their capital, and that to reduce dividends
therefore as income diminishes, striving not to con-
ceal the presence of business prostration, but to
forestall its continued adverse effects and be pre-
pared to meet them, is the oaly wise course. It is the
companies that go on paying unearned dividends that give
occasion for distrust and uneasiness. This phase of the
matter has at last dawned upon the public mind, and
probably because it has, as well as because future pros-
pects have improved and railroad officials have apparently
determined that the waste of substance which for so long
has been going on as the result of reckless and continuous
wars of rates, shall be stopped, is it, that lower dividends
have lost their power as a depressing influence.
The reduction of dividends by the Pennsylvania
Railroad has been gradual. In both 1882 and
1883 it gave its stockholders 8^ per cent per annum,
not to speak of privileges to take at par the com-
pany's shares then selling at a premium. In 1884 th&
semi-annual dividend which in May had been 4 per cent
as usual, was in November reduced to 3 per cent, and thus
from an 8 per cent property the Pennsylvania took its
position as a G per cent stock, though owing to the 4 per
cent paid in May the actual distribution for the calendar
year 1884 was 7 per cent. The 3 per cent semi annual
dividend was continued in May of the present year, but
now this has given way to 2 per cent. Lender this latest
NOTEMD£R 7, 188I5.J THE CHRONICLE. .5(9
»^
change tite dividend for 1885 will amount to 5 per cent,'
tkough on the basis of 2 per cont semiannaally the rate
per year will of course be only 4 per cent.
It is interesting to note how, one by one, forced either
by necessity or impelled by prudential reasons, the
leading Kastern trunk lines have been obliged to lower
dividends or pass them altogether. The Michigan Central
and the Canada Southern were the first to suspend ; the
Lake Shore followed somewhat later, after having first
reduced its rate from a basis of 8 per cent to G per cent.
The New York Central, the staunchest of the Vanderbilts,
and whose local traffic the West Shore sought to secure,
came down from "2 per cent quarterly, first to \} per cent^
then to 1 per cent, and now has paid two dividends of
only one-half of one per cent. The Erie has of course
long since discontinued the dividend on its preferred
stock, and is besides in default on three coupons of
the second consols. The Delaware Lackawanna &"Western last month made its quarterly dividend
1 J per
cent, instead of 2 par cent as heretofore. The Pennsyl-
vania, as already said, has reduced to 2 per cent semi-
annually. Only the Baltimore & Ohio among the trunk
lines remains paying the old rate, which in its case is ten
per cent per annum, but here the capital is very small
—
less than 15 millions—while that of both the Pennsylvania
and the New York Central is six times as much.
Some of our readers will want to know what the posi-
tion of the Pennsylvania road will be on the basis of the
reduced dividends now declared, so it may be worth
while to devote a little space to that part of the subject.
Of course, in the case of such a large system it is mani-
festly impossible to cover the multiplicity of minor items
that may aSect the main result. These are not within
the range of our information, and if they were it would
merely confuse things to introduce them, while the prob-
ability is that the changes on one side would in great
measure simply counterbalance those on the other. Weshall confine ourselves therefore to the larger and more
superficial items in which material alterations are apparent.
Foremost among these is the heavy decrease in net earn
ings that the monthly statements show to have taken
place in the first nine months of the year. This decrease
amounts to $2,321,289 on the Eistern lines, and to $626,-
059 on the Western lines. The company has always fol-
lowed the plan of treating the Western lines separately,
and we shall follow the same plan here, referring to the
result on these lines again further on.
With a loss of $2,321,289 on the nine months" opera-
tions—that is, compared with the same period in the pre-
vious year—the question occurs, of course, what will b-,
the result for the remaining three months. We hold to
the opinion that in these three months there will be no
further loss, but rather a gain, and for three reasons: (1)
It is only recently that the efforts at economy have begun
to yield fruit, and the net for September as a consequence
showed tne first gain in thirteen months. (2) The active
endeavors to enforce higher rates date from the beginning
of October, that is, from the beginning of this three months
period. (3) In these same three months last year the ex-
hibit was unusually poor, and net on the Eastern system
then decreased $761,912 from the total of the previous
year. It would seem safe to conclude that part of this loss
will be recovered, and estimating this roughly at half a
million, the decrease of $2,32 1,289 above would be reduced
to about 11,821,000. But during the year the company
put out the remaining four millions of the 4^ per cent
collateral trust bonds, and this would call for au increase
of $180,000 in the interest account for the year, which
added to the $1,821,000 loss in earnings would give a total
Ion of t2,001,000. For the Soath PenniylvanU parohaMrecent testimony showed the company iuned $.^,000,000
of 3 per cent Bedford & Bridgeport delxinture bonds, batthe interest on these we may auppoee will not oount in the
present year. The income from the va«t amount of leea-
rities which the Pennsylvania holds, is an item almoet uimportant as the net earnings from traffic operationa.
This income comprises agreat variety of receipu, and mayvary either in the one direction or the other. In the
absence of definite information it is perhaps best to con-
sider it unchanged from last year.
Starting with this loss of two millions, what are the
offsetting items on the other side of the account ? In
1884 the dividend was 7 per cent and the amount paid
out for the same $6,560,787 ; in the present year the
dividend will be only 5 per cent and the amount required
$4,738,892. Thus there will be a saving to the companyof $1,821,895. But besides this, the trust agreement of
October 9, 1878. has been so far modified that instead of a
fixed annual requirement on that account (in the nature
of a sinking fund) of $600,000 per annum, the amoiutwill hereafter be limited to " one per cent of the net
income of the company before payment of dividend to the
shareholders," which on the basis of the 1884 operations
would have called for only $86,000. With smaller net in
1885, the call is not likely to be larger, and hence there
will be a saving here of $514,000, to be added to the
saving of $1,821,895 on the reduction in the dividends,
making a total saving of $2,335,895. The loss from earn-
ings and increased charges we found to be about two
million dollars, so that the net saving would be over
$300,000. As on the 1884 operations the company had a
surplus of $1,440,425, it follows that on tiiis basis there
would remam on the 1885 operations a surplus of IJ mil-
lions. Recapitulating, here is the result in tabular form.

Surplus for 1885 above 5 per cent dividends $1,776,000
The above is not presented with an idea of furnishing an
accurate forecast of the year's result, but simply to a£ford
an approximate indicuion of the position of the road under
the lower dividends and other recent changes. If the in-
come from securities should prove less than last year, to
that extent would the above surplus be diminished. In
like manner would it be diminished if the estimated gain
in net during the remainder of the year should be reduced
below $500,000. On the other hand, if either item
should be greater, so also would the surplus given.
The accoun'-s for the Western system, as already stated,
are kept separately, but the two systems are so closely
bound together tiat it seems the result on the Western
should also be taken into consideration. To ihe extent that
the dividends on the Pennsylvania Company stock (all the
shares of which are held by the Pennsylvauia Ridroad)
no longer appear in the income from investmeuta, the
result of the Western system is already included, bat any
deficiency on that system below the amount needed to
meet its own charges is not so represented. In 1884 there
was a deficiency of this kind of $861,891, Thus far in
1885 the deficiency is $1,287,918, or $600,000 more than
in the same nine months of the preceding year. There" is
a probability that the remaining three months will give a
better result. But at any rate the margin of surplus
510 THE CHRONICLE. [Vol. XLI.
above on the Eastern lines is ample to take care of the
whole amount of the deficiency, even if the increase of
^600,000 shown to date in it is not reduced. The dispo-
sition among the Pennsylvania officials, however, is to let
these Western lines stand all by themselves, and not com-
bine them with the Eastern lines.
COTTON CONSUMPTION AND OVERLANDMOVEMENT TO NOVEMBER 1.
"We present our readers to-day the usual statements of
overland movement, receipts, exports, spinners' takings,
&c., bringing the figures down to the first of November,
and embracing the first two months of the cotton crop
season in the years 1885, 1884 and 1883.
OVEBLAND MOVEMENT TO NOVEMBER 1.
There has been a very free movement of cotton by rail
during October, the gross shipments reaching the large
total of 159,538 bales and exceeding by 48,447 bales
those for the corresponding month of 1884, while in com-
parison with October 1883 the increase is 38,894 bales.
The shipments via St. Louis and over the Illinois Central
and Jeffersonville Madison & Indianapolis railroads
continue to show large gains over preceding seasons, but
on the other hand the Cairo & Vincennes records a
further falling off. The net movement also exhibits a
substantial increase in comparison with former years, the
total for October being 120,246 bales, against 85,883 bales
for the same month last year and 107,624 bales in 1883,
the excess over the former reaching 34,363 bales and
over the latter 12,622 bales. For the season to Novem-ber 1 in the three years the details are as follows :

BECEIPTS, EXPORTS AND SPINNEBS' TAKINGS.
Eeceipts at the ports during the month have been less
than during October last year, but exhibit a small excessover the month of 1883. For the two months toNovember 1, however, there is an increase over bothyears, but in comparison with 1884 it reaches only 5,436bales, while the gain over 1883 is 51,362 bales. Theforeign exports, on account of the full movement duringthe closing week, were a little larger in October, 1885,than in either of the two preceding years, the month's
total being 590,016 bales, against 548,150 bales in 1884
and 478,054 bales in 1883; for the season to November 1
the excess over last year is 37,373 bales, and over 1883
reaches 100,288 bales. This export movement for the
week ending October 30 also encroached very materially
upon the stocks at the ports, so that combined with the
interior towns the total stocks are slightly less than onNovember 1, 1884. Below we give our usual table of
receipts, exports and stocks.

Using the facts disclosed by the foregoing statements,
we shall find that the portion of the crop which has i-eached
a market through the outports and overland, and the
Southern consumption since September 1, this year andthe two previous years, is as follows.

The amount of cotton marketed since Sept. 1 in 1885
is thus seen to be 70,318 bales more than in 1884 and
78,659 bales more than in 1883. To determine the portion
which has gone into the hands of Northern spinners during
the same period, we have prepared the following.

The above indicates that Northern spinners had up to
November 1 taken 398,906 bales, an increase over the
corresponding period of 1884 of 101,431 bales and an
excess over the same period of 1883 of 5,112 bales.
AMOCNT OF OBOP NOW IN SIGHT.
In the foregoing we have the number of bales which
has already been marketed this year and the two previous
seasons. An additional fact of interest__is the total of the
crop which was in sight on November_l, compared with
previous years. We reach that point by^adding to the

THE COTTON GOODS TEADE IN OCTOBER.
As a whole the market for staple cotton goods at the im.
portant centreswas very quiet during the month, and somede.
scriptions have been hardly as firm as during previous weeks
Brown sheetings were in good demand by converters, but
jobbers bought sparingly, and Southern brands are easier,
while Eastern makes are nominally unchanged. Bleached
and colored cottons ruled quiet, but such makes as govern
the market continued steady in price; and stocks, though
sufficient for the present requirements of the trade, are byno means redundant. Light cotton fabrics, as white
goods, curtain materials, &c., were in good demand for
the spring trade. Print cloths were active at times, and
there was a sharp but manipulated advance in prices
towards the close of the month, a purchase having been
made on the 31st ultimo (for an object) of 1,000 pieces at
3^.; the real quotation was (late on that day) 3|c. plus
1 per cent. Manufacturers and speculators hold smaller
stocks of print cloths now than at the same time in 1884,
and the excess over 1883 is slight. The stocks held Octo-
ber 31 this year reach about 762,000 pieces, against
about 1,000,000 pieces at the end of .September. Thestock November 1, 1884, was 1,186,000 pieces, and at the
same time in 1883 reached 721,000 pieces.

FINANCIAL JIBVIEW OF OCTOBER.
The city bank surplus declined materially in October,
and the loans increased. On the 3d of the month the
surplus reserve above the legal requirement was $41,499,-
200, and the loans were $330,759,300 ; on the 31st the
surplus reserve had declined to $23,432,000, and the
loans had increased to $344,360,800. The rates for
money, however, changed but little, notwithstanding the
great activity in the stock market, and the outside quota-
tion for call loans to stock brokers was 4 per cent, the
range on all classes of call loans being 1^ to 4 per cent.
For money at the banks, on time loans, to their ordinary
customers, the rates were higher, and about 5 per cent
was the rate for much of this class of business.
The activity at the Stock Exchange was the all-absorb-
ing topic in financial circles, and the nature of the move-
ment was well described in the Chrovicle of October 17,
viz. :" It is safe to say that the persistent buoyancy and
generally confident tone have not been matched in the
past two years—perhaps not since the disastrous 2d of
July, 1881. The important feature of the present move-
ment, in which it differs from the temporary spurts which
have so frequently been witnessed, consists in its broad-
ness ; that is, the buyers and the believers in the advance
comprise not only the strong operators of the Street, with
their following, but also a greater number of outside
investors and conservative speculators than have been in
the market at one time during the past two or three
years." The situation did not afterward materially change,
and the strength of the market was well maintained till
the close, some stocks selling at their best prices on Sat-
urday, the 31st, when the strong and confident feeling
was still prevalent.
The matters which bore upon the actual values of stocks
were rather the different negotiations pending or prot-
pective, than actual events which took place. The trunk
line agreement made gooi progress, with every prospect
of establishing a strong money pool. The status of afiaii*
between the Pennsylvania, Baltimore k Ohio, Jersey Cen-
tral, and Reading, was not definitely known, and the
activity of the two last-named was variously attrib-
uted to buying for the Vanderbilt or the Baltimore
& Ohio interest. St. Paul stock was poshed up by
the powerful Chicago clique, led by Mr. Armour.
612 THE CHRONICLE! [Vol. XLI.
The New York & New England stock advanced at
one time to 31, on reports of a probable control by the
New York & New Haven Company; but the subscription
to the $2,000,000 preferred stock by the stockholders was
not successful, only about $600,000 being taken condi-
tionally. The reported placing of a new loan on its dock
property (said to be for $7,000,000, including the old bonds
and stock) was the occasion for the rise in Erie, together
with rumors of paying or funding back coupons on the
2d consol. bonds. A new agreement between Lake Shore
or New York Central and the C. C. C. & I. Railroad
caused a sharp rise in that and in Alton & Terre Haute.
Western Union Telegraph was strong on short covering
about the middle of the month, and, later, on the reports
of an agreement with Baltimore & Ohio to advance rates.
Thus it appears that nearly all of the good things
reported were in embryo, and few had become accom-
plished facts.
The foreign exchange market was comparatively inac-
tive and did not fluctuate greatly during the month, prices
at the close being only about one-half cent lower than at the
opening. The shipments of cotton and grain were not
particularly satisfactory.
The following summary shows the condition of the NewYork City Clearing-IIouse banks, rates of foreign exchangeand prices of leading securities and articles of merchan-
dise, on or about the 1st of November, 1883, 1884 and

[From onr own oorrespondent.J
London, Saturday, October 24, 1885.
The prospect of the final solution of the Eastern difficulty
seems to be as remote as ever—at all events it cannot be said
that any distinct progress has been made in that direction
during the week. But although the delay is to be regretted,
it affords opportunity for the ultimate settlement of the dis-
pute on such a basis as-shall not be easily upset. Whateverarrangement may be come to should be lasting. The Burmantrouble has not entered upon any new phase. King Theebaw,according to all accounts, retains his bellicose attitude, whilethe Indian .Government is equally determined upon the mat-ter being settled on its own lines. The political position
generally cannot be said to have appreciably altered, at least
not in such a way as to influence commercial affairs.
Sanguine hopes as to the future are still being indulged in,
founded unquestionably on the more encouraging advices
from America, A feature of some significance is that the
demand for freights is looking up. But in spite of that fact,
and of the more hopeful tone now pervading most depart-
ments of industry, the evidences of an expansion of trade are
not very distinct. Liverpool seems to be the favored spot, butwe still look in vain for an increase in the goods receipts onthe leading railways. In place of an expansion, there is in
fact a contraction from the depressed totals of last year. TheBankers' Clearing House returns, also, are quite capable of
amendment. All we can be sure of, therefore, is that satisfac-
tory obanges are now going on across the Atlantic, of which wereceive almost daily telegraphic confirmation; and thit a con-
tinuance of the movement there must swell the volume of
trade here, and possibly by the new year it will have gained
sufficient force to admit of results being clearly estimated.
Attention has at length been directed to the continued
inquiry for gold for export, and the question is again being
discussed whether the Bank of England will not soon be com-pelled to adopt measures to prevent the stock of bullion being
much further reduced. In the present state of the commer-cial demand for money, however, such action is not easily
carried out. It is argued that the Bank of England should
reduce the heavy balances unemployed in the outside marketby borrowing on consols, and thereby causing the open marketand official quotations to approximate more closely. But sucha movement would be fictitious. Quotations for money cannotbe permanently enhanced until the incjuiry for it has increased
to a much greater extent than at present. It is of course
imperative that the Bank of England should protect the bul-
lion resources, and the directors may be trusted to do so; butthey can hardly, in fairnes?, be called upon to saddle them-selves with heavy balances which there is no present chance of
using profitably. Were there any signs of financial disturb-
ance in the near future, some display of energy might belooked for ; but so far as can be ascertained there is no imme-diate prospect of the chronic quietness of the market being
upset. At present there is no inquiry for the metal fromAmerica. The sums recently taken for the Continent—about
£800,000—are no doubt in a great measure the result of the
political troubles in Eastern Europe, and must therefore be
looked upon in the light of exceptional transactions rather
than as ordinary exchange operations. The demand for
money usual at this season may be expected soon to assert
itself, and between now and the close of the year some move-ment in the Bank of England rate of discount may be looked
for; but there are no signs of any tending excitement, or anyneed to adopt more than ordinary means of precaution.
It is to be noted, in this connection, that during the past
two days some improvement has taken place in the demandfor money. Day-to-day loans, which were going begging at
J^4 per cent, have risen to ^^ to % per cent, and the discount
charge for three months' bills has risen from 1 to \% per cent.
Some rather important movements are noticed in the weeklyBank of England return. The reserve has decreased to the
extent of £457,132, the amount being £11,701,167, or fully
£1,000,000 more than at this time last year. The actual
decrease in bullion is £635,162, and the present supply of £30,-
920,972 is about £360,000 more than last year. This is a fairly
good total, but it will not bear drawing upon much further to
supply foreign requirements; and in the event of any import-
ant orders being received, the advisability of some advance in
the Bank rate will have to be considered. A decrease of
£1,626,000 in private deposits must be regarded in a favorable
light, as it shows some dispersion of balances; but the total is
NOVKMUER 7, 1886.J THE CHRONJCLE. 515atill very unwifldy, being £5,a00,000 more than at thie timeInst year, and until it ia brought within more manageableliniitB it will be difncult to substantiate the reports of improv-ing trade. The return, taken as a whole, diaoloses no indi
:ition of approaching doarnesa. If there is any considerable
iilvance, it must come through the action of the Bankdirectors.

Messrs. Pixley & Abell write as follows on the state of the
bullion market
:
Oold-Slncoour circular of last week there have been willidrawaUfrom tlio Bank amounting to «704,000. Of tUlg auinuiit «50,000 goesto Ur.bon. Tlie receipts dining tho same I lino were *t)4.000. TUe Ger-man exclianKC liuvinK risen today, tluic Is rather less Imiuiry foroiport. Tho Inipiii t» are : From the Cape £12.<()0; from Austrnlla*58.000; from River Pliite £48.iOO; and fn.m West Indies £23,000 ;
total. £141,OiO. The Orion has taken je.iC.OUO to Buenos Ayres.•Silver, wltli a continental order, iuiproved to 47»ihd.. at which price
reocnt arrivals huve been sold , and iu the absence of supplies to hand,the market reniiiins (|ulet. The Moseile brought £5,000, and al>oiit£C0.OiO has arrived from America. The P. & O. steamers have taken£180,000 to the Kast.Mexican Dollars have remained steady at 4T9](,d.. at which rate the
unsold portion per Moselle was placed. The Moselle brousbt £20,0U0from the West Indies, and Fulda and Qeimanio brought £10,000 fromNew Yerk.
Messrs. Bothwick, Wark & Co, are instrticted to receive
Eubscriptions for |1, 7.50,000 Canada Southern Railway secondmortgage bonds the price of issue being 88 per cent. Theprincipal is re-payable in 1913.
The excitement in American railway shares has continued.
We, however, simply follow your lead. Speculators here are
very keen, but although a good business is being done, it is not
to be measured by the important advance which has takenplace in prices. It is curious that in spite of the developmentof the "bull" speculation, stock here has not become moreplentiful, but at the »ame time it must not be inferred
from this that the real investor is buying. Largeblocks of securities have been speculatively locked
up, but whether present holders will be successful in
ultimately disposing of them to the bona fide investor is
another matter. It would be idle to assume that the distaste
to American railways as a medium for investment engenderedby the heavy losses of recent years has suddenly disappeared.
There is a large class here who have had their income seriously
curtailed by the various defaults, and the confidence of suchpersons is not restored in a day. At the same time, there is noquestion that large supplies of money lying idle here wouldcome forward for the development of American railway enter-
prise were there a certainty that the lines would not fiUl into
the hands of a clique of speculators who would manipulate
the concerns solely in their own interests. Lake Shore andLouisville & Nashville have fallen on the week 1 to 3, but
almost all other issues have risen—Erie Sds to the extent of
about 6 per cent and others from 1 to 4 per cent. The marketwas weakened at the finish by realizations.
The warning which our manufacturers have received during
the week to the effect that a syndicate has been formed in
America for the purpose of obtaining concessions for the con-
struction of railways in China, has come rather as a surprise,
although it is well known that all commercial communitiesare looking hungrily on the Celestial Empire for the initiation
of such trade developments as shall compensate them for the
heavy losses of the past two or three years. It is clear that the
struggle for obtaining the necessary orders promises lo be
iKvere.
The grain trade has been wanting in activity. During the
earlier days of the week there was some slight indication of
firmness, but it was not maintained. In spite of the unsettled,
and at times wintry, weather, wheat has shown signs of weak-ness, and had sales been forced, holders would have beencompelled to make some concession. The rumors of a threat-
ened break up of the " Lull " ipeouUtion in Am«rlc«, whichhad been current for some few daya pMt, reo«iTad m o«rtoiaamount of confirmation from the weakncM of New Yorkprices. Possibly, however, this may bar* be«n In somameasure attributeblo to the advised Increase on the week of1,100,000 bushels in the visible supply. Signs of haartiMMwere also notice<l in the Baltic shipping ports, advkiea fromthem noting a decline of Is. per quarter. It ia clear,therefore, that for the moment tho position of the wheattrade ia not so strong as it was a short time ago, but thatcannot be accepted as an argument against tho ultimateestablishment of a higher Itvel of values than that nowprevailing. Imports of both wheat and flour are disttootlybelow what they were at this time last year. Duringthe past seven weeks of the penson the gross receiptswere 10,830,000 cwts., or about 1,4-10,000 cwts. less than In ubocorresponding period of last season, while the quantity onpassage is about 370,000 quarters below last year's total.The following return shows the extent of the imports of
oereal produce into the United Khigdom during the firstseven weeks of the season:

Beside the Postal Telegraph Com-pany, the Postal Telegraph & Cable Company, to which its
property was conveyed, together with C. C. Brown andThomas Fleming, judgment creditors of the Telegraph &Cable Company, and Albert B. Chandler, its receiver, appointedlast May on their petition, are defendauts in the suit.
Rochester & Pittsburg.—Mr. Adrian Iselin, who pur-chased the Rochester & Pittsburg property at the recentforeclosure sale, has it^sued a circular to the stockholders,which is given in full in our advertising columns.The President of the company, Mr. Walsion H. Brown,
says, regarding Mr. Iselin's proposition :
'• It is important that the stock should be deposited with as littledi'Iay as po.ssible, so that it can be ascertained what proportion of thestockholders are irivinu their support to the suits with which thepurchaser of the road is threatened, and what proportion are in favor oftlie reorgauizatiou as made by him."The tluaucial condition of the new companv is the following: The
b.alance of the preferred stock not absorbed by the payment of thesecond mortgiige b luds and tloatlus debt has been subscribed for at aprice which provides for thi payment of $lM7.610'if back couponswhich had not been paid, but had been bouarht, $77,i(00 of overdue cartrust bonds, and $143,685, amouut of all coupons maturing on andbefore January 1, 1886, and leaves $500,000 of uupald subscriptionssuhjpct to call ou demand. There are no other matured liabilities onthe road, the employes having l)een paid promptly on the 15th of eachmouth, and all current operating expenses being fully covered byearnings due the company."The present llxed charges of the company, exclusive of taxes, are

$78,0 0, interest on $l,a00.000 first mortgage bonds; $32 ),S60,interest on $f.b81,000 c(msolldated boiids; $19,770. interest on cartrust bonds; $1,400, rental of Perry Railroad ; $55,200. yearly rentalto Erie Railroad; tutal, *405,230. In addition to this there is aliability to pay 6 per cent on $178,000 income bonds, contingent on Itabeing earned by the 108 miles from Rochester to Salamanca after pro-viding for necessary improvements. These income bonds can beexchanged for tue coneolnlated bonds, two of the former for one of thelatter. Whenever this exchange is made the fixed charges will boincreased by $14,340, the interest on $ i39,000 consolidated Oonds." Twelve hundred tons of steel rails have been purchased since the

WAI.I, NTKEET. FRIUAY-S P. M.The Money Market and Financial Situation.—The
occurrence of the State elections has had some hithience in
chuckinfr business, notwithstanJing the fact that the interestfelt in tlic result is so much less than last year. The nieetinfj;
of Congres.s in December will now be the next event in thepolitical world, and since the silver question is likely to comeup for early discussion, the business community will watch withsome eagerness for any indications of the temi)er of the newHouse of Representatives on this important subject.The declaration of a 2 per cent semi-annual dividend by the
PenD»ylvania liailroad Company, instead of the regular 3 percent, was imquestionably a surprise to most of the .stockholdersand to the public. But it is to be remembered that the trunkline earnings have not yet felt much benefit from the advancein rates, and the Pennsylvania Railroad in reducing its
dividend is merely taking a step which the other trunk lines,
and for that matter most of the railroads of the country, wher-ever located, felt it incumbent to take some months ago.On Thursday the presidents of the trunk line railroads met
to act on the agreement prepared for their signatures, and themeeting was continued through Friday. The chief characteristicwas the spirit of amity and harmony that prevailed. Theagreement is necessarily long and elaborate, but it was taken up,clause by clause, and it aoes not appear that any serious obstacleswere encountered. It provides for the appointment of variouscommittees, each having charge of certain special matters, andsupreme within its own department, and yet, in certain circum-stances, having the right of appeal to the next higher com-mittee, and so on, till the central body—the presidents and thearbitrator—is reached. But this latter body it is not contem-plated shall be called upon except in extreme cases. Theagreement covers both east-bound and west-bound business,and both freight and passengers, and the parties to it are todeposit a stated sum of money with the Commissioner, out ofwhich the latter is to pay any tines imposed for violation of thecompact. Perhaps the most important feature of the plan is
that each line is to be made responsible for the action of its
Western connections. These latter are to have representationon the Joint Committee, but the appeal will be to the ExecutiveCommittee, composed of trunk-line representatives alone, thusplacing the trunk lines in full control of the situation.
At the Stock Exchange the strength of the market continuesunabated. Indeed, there is great buoyancy and enthusiasm tothe upward movement, with the advance in prices almostphenomenal. Special prominence has this week been given tothe stocks of the granger roads, particularly Chicago Milwaukee& St. Paul, which is up 6 points, and one reason for this is thesplendiu record of earnings which the road makes for thefourth week and month of October.The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have had an extreme range of 1@10per cent, though the ruling rates have been 2@3 percent;to-day the rates were 2J@3 per cent. Prime commercial paperis quoted at 4@4^ p. c.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showeda loss in specie of £110,134, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was 38 13-16, against 39 3-16 last week; the discountjate remains at 2 per cent. The Bank of France gained4,410,000 francs in gold and 1,073,000 francs in silver.

Railroad and Miscellaneons Stocks.—That the move-ment toward higher prices was not yet at an end was amply de-monstrated this week, when the market again became active
and very buoyant, most of the leading stocks advancing sharply
and touching the highest figures for the year. The weekopened on Saturday (Oct. 31), with a strong market, and thetendency continued upward, with only small and unimportantreactions until Wednesday afternoon (Tuesday being a holiday)
when there was a sharp decline, due to realizing sales and araid by room traders and the bears, the result being that thewhole market went down several points. This weakness didnot last long, however, and on Thursday prices were oncemore buoyant and went higher than before, the feature beingan active and widely fluctuating market.
As has been the case for some time past, the changes in themarket were the result chiefly of a revival of speculative confi-
dence; yet there are increased indications of improvement in
railroad business, and the earnings of some of the imjKirtant
systems, especially those in the Northwest, show gratifying
gains, and this has had its influence on the market bystimulating the rise in the granger stocks, among which St.
Paul has l)een the feature, having risen 7 points during the
week, to 954 (closing at 044), and exhibiting a marked Aefrtt»
of strength. Another imjiortant favorable feature, of course,
was the meeting of the trunk-line presidents and the practical
accomplishment of the new pooling agreement between the
trunk-line roads.
To-day (Friday) the market was active and unsettled, open-
ing strong but afterward reacting, with the olose ratlicr weak.

ANNUAL REPORTS.Old Colony.
(For the year ending September 30, 1885.)
The report, just issued, says: "The consolidation with the
Lowell & Framingham Eailroad Gompany has not yet been
fully completed. On September 30, 1885, the Old Colony Rail-
road Company held $416,000 of the first mortgage bonds of
that company, for which it had issued to the holders the sameamount of its own bonds, bearing interest at the rate of 4J^per cent, and running twenty years, and nearly all the pre-
ferred and common stock of the Lowell & Framingham Rail-
road Company had been transferred to Messrs. Ames andRotch, as trustees, under the terms of the agreement for con-
solidation. For the remaining bonds outstanding upon whichthe interest due October 1, 1885, has not been paid, the direct-
ors have offered bonds of the Old Colony Railroad Companybearing five per cent interest and due April 1, 1891. At the
date of the printing of this report, October Slst, $33,000 havebeen thus exchanged.
" It is expected that the consolidation will be fully con-summated early in the coming year. The interest upon the
bonds exchanged, as above stated, and the dividends upon the
receipts given stockholders of the Lowell & FraminghamRailroad Company have been charged in this year's accounts
as rent of the Lowell & Framingham Railroad Company."Large additions have been made to the equipment during
the past year, and 7,624 tons of steel rails and 320,267 sleepers
have been used. Various second tracks have been com-pleted during the year, and the directors have voted to build
a second track during the coming year between Sherbom andMarlboro' Junction and upon the South Shore road. The cost
of the second tracks, amounting to $480,201, has beencharged to construction. A branch railroad has been built to
connect the old line to Fall River with the Bridgewater branchat a cost of $12,741. The directors have purchased theentire property of the South Boston Iron Company (223,093ajuare feet) for $210,197, subject to a mortgage for $175,0OO,
due February 25, 1888. paying in notes of the South BostonIron Company $160,000, and in cash $50,197. The propertyuntil needed for the uses of the railroad is leased to the SouthBoston Iron Works Company at a fair rental.
"During the year the directors, under the authority con-ferred by the stockholders, have sold $250,000 of bonds,bearing interest at the rate of four per cent, and due intwenty years from date, at a premium of one per cent. Outof the proceeds $100,000 of bonds of the Agricultural BranchRailroad Company have been paid. They have also sold 4,000shares of the capital stock for $637,250. The premium onbonds and shares has been added to the improvement account."The total charges to construction and property accounts
for the year were $708,922.
If'" The earnings for the year show an increase over those of
1883, heretofore the largest in the history of the company, of$2,006." The comparative statement of earnings, traffic, &c.,for four years is as follows:

EvansTille & Terre Haute.
(For the year endmg Augit,H 31, 1885.)
The President remarks: "The loss of gross business, the
figures indicate, was experienced in July and August.These months heretofore have given the company much busi-
ness in the movement of wheat, while .this year we did notmove a car-load during this same time. 'We have a good cropon our line, which will be moved during the fall, and our fall
months will gain what we lost in the summer months."Since the last report the completion of the great and
magnificent bridge spanning the Ohio, and connecting the
rails of this company with the L. & N. R. R., has occurred.
The bridge was opened in July for business, and we expect
therefrom a large increase of traffic, both freight and pas-
senger." In building the Evansville & Indianapolis Railroad, and
in guaranteeing its bonds, this company secured the stock
franchises and $292,000 of its bonds. The net cost of same to
this company will not be fully determined until final report
of the I. & E. receiver is made, which will be some timeduring the coming year, and when made will cause someincrease of the item of 'Evansville & Indianapolis securities,'
as now appears in the general account." With the beginning of the calendar year your directors
felt that the company could pay small quarterly dividends,
and so ordered. The first one of one per cent was paid April
1st, and has been so repeated quarterly, which we feel capable
of continuing, maintaing at the same time the high standardof the road's physical condition."

Eastern—Worcester Nashua & Rochester—Boston &Maine.—TheEastem RR. directors, at their meeting in Boston,Nov. 5, voted to approve a lease by the Boston & Slaine of theWorcester Nashua & Rochester Railroad. The Boston &Maine is to guarantee five per cent dividends to the Worces-ter Nashua & Rochester, and pay its taxes. The lease will gointo effect Jan. 1, 1886. This will secure to the Boston &Maine road a valuable connection with the Boston & Albanyline at Worcester.
Evansville, Ind.—At Indianapolis, Nov. 3, in the FederalCourt, Judge Wood gave an important ruling on the Evans-ville bond cases. At various times during the last fifteenyears the city issued bonds to aid in the building of railroads,wharves and other improvements, and also redemption bonds,the total amount of them being about $1,500,000, which, inaddition to the accrued interest, now amounts to about$1,800,000. The interest was paid regularly for ten years, upto 1883, when further payment was refused and suit broughton the railroad bonds to enforce it. Payment was resisted onthe grounds, first, that the railway company was a foreign cor-poration; second, that the road did not reach Evansville ; andthird, that the subscription was not made in accordance withlaw. The Judge overruled all these points, and decided againstthe city. The amount involved is about $1,075,000. Thesedecisions are on demurrers which involve the real issues. Theireffect is that the city must pay the interest on her bonds andthe bonds themselves.

New York Central—West Shore.—At a special meeting oNew York Central stockholders at Albany, Nov. 4, the guarantee of the $50,000,000 West Shore bonds was confirmed andauthorized, more than $60,000,000 of the capital stock acqui-escing.
New York & New England.—At Hartford, Conn., Nov. 3,Judge Shipman, of the United States Court, handed down anorder authorizing the New York and New England RailroadCompany to issue not to exceed $2,000,000 of preferred stockat par, the proceeds to go to C. P. Clark, Receiver, and be byhim paid to such creditors as the company may direct, thecompany having the right to give preference to certain cred-itors. The court also permits the receiver to deliver to thecompany as many of its second mortgage bonds as it maydesire to issue, in settlement of its debt.—In Boston, Nov. 4, in the Supreme Court, proceedings were
instituted by a stockholder to enjoin the issue of preferredstock to creditors, on the ground that such issue would becontrary to the act authorizing the same. The law permitsthe company to sell the stock at par in cash, or $.50 in cashand two shares of common stock. It is claimed that thereis no authority to settle the debts with preferred stock.
Northern Pacific.—The land department of the NorthernPacific reports sales of 27,056 acres for $110,606 during themonth of October. The total sales for the first four monthsof the present fiscal year were 166,478 acres for $650,631,against 114,283 acres for $572,240 during the correspondingmonths of 1884.
Ohio & Mississippi.—The Ohio & Mississippi RailwayCompany gives notice that the interest due November 1 onthe Springfield Division bonds will be paid, with the reserva-

eral income and consolidated mortgage bonds, asking fcr fore-closure, if the plan of reorganization is not acceptable, hadbeen signed by holders representing $4,240,000 of the generalbonds, $1,110,000 incomes and |I, 600,000 consol. bonds.

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.Friday Night, Nov. 6. 1885.
The week has iieen broken by a holiday for the election for
State officers, which took placa on Tuesday in several States.
The only result of much significance is the defeat of Wise,the Mahone candidate for Governor of Virginia. The autumnseason for active trade is drawing to a close, and there are nofeatures of importance to notice. There is a check to the
decline in values of many proJticts of agriculture, which gives
better promise for the trade of the coming winter and spring.

The speculation in cotton for future delivery has been quitoactive at this market for the week under review, with afurther and material decline in prices. The comparativelylow figures which were reached at the close of our last didnot develop confidence. There was, however, from pruden-tial considerations, some covering of contracts, and somegrowth of opinion that values had pretty nearly " touchedbottom." This derived some support .from the Manches-ter advices, and rather unfavorable weather for picking,which has been reported from ditf<>rent parts of theSouth from day to day. Yesterday a lower opening was fol-
lowed by an irregular closing, the distant deliveries showingmore strength. To-day an early decline to the lowest figures
of the season, under weak Liverpool advices, was followed bya partial recovery on a demand to cover contracts; but there
was a quiet closing. Cotton on the spot has continued dull
and prices have declined. Quotations were reduced 1^0. onSaturday and again on Wednesday. To-day the market wasquiet and unchanged at 9?^c. for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 485,800
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week1,523 bales, including — for export, 1,523 for consumption)— for speculation and in transit. Of the above,— txales
were to arrive. The following are the official quotaUoas for
each day of the past week.

BREADSTUFFS.Fkidat. p. M., November 6, 1886.
The flour market opened dull and depressed for the week
under review, sut has latterly become more active, with prices
showiiig more steadiness and in some cases a slight improve-
ment. Large Western mills have curtailed production, and
local dealers have purchased with more confidence. The
export to Europe, however, has continued on a moderate
scale.
The wheat market has been variable. The opening was
quite depressed ; the large visible supply and the limited
export continued to exert a weakening influence upon values
But the warlike news from Eistern Europe caused a revival
of speculation and some recovery in values. There was,
however, little or no improvement in the demand for wheat
on the spot, whether for export or milling. To-day a part of
the late advance was lost.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.Frldav, P. M., November 6, 1885.
Business in the wholesale branches of the dry goods trade
was fpasmodic and irregular the past week, operations having
been checked to some extent by the recurrence of elections in
many States, and the observance of Election Day in this city
as a close holiday. Under the influence of colder weather the
early part of the week, there was a slightly increased demand
for seasonable goods, but selections, having been governed by
positive requirements, were only moderate in the aggregate
amount. Transactions in certain fabrics adapted to the
spring trade were continued on a fairly liberal scale, jobbers,
converters and cutters having placed numerous orders (for
future delivery) with agents representing domestic manufac-
turers. Some very fair orders for spring and summer fabrics
were also booked by importers, and distributers are evidently
disposed to take a hopeful view of the business outlook. The
jobbing trade has been quiet, as usual at this time of year;
but a fair average distribution of both st9.ple and department
goods was made by jobbers in this market and throughout
the country. Values have not materially changed, and really
desirable goods are by no means as plentiful as at the corre.
sponding time in recent years.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—The exports of domestics from
this port during the week ending Nov, 2 were 3,571 packages
and the principal shipments were 1,944 to Great Britain, 536
"to Argentine Republic, 468 to Hayti, 172 to Brazil, and 1 12 to
Santo Domingo. As a whole, the market for staple cotton
goods was very quiet, but there was a fairly g!>od business in
some descriptions. Brown sheetings were in light and irregu-
lar demand by jobbers, but converters were free buyers of
certain brands. Bleached goods, wide sheetings and cotton
flannels ruled quiet, and corset jeans were dull, while there
was only a moderate business in grain bags, silesias and rolled
jaconets. Cottonades were in better demand by cutters and I
the clothing trade, and there was a steady call for small par- I
.
eels of denims, tickings, fancy duck and other colored cottons,
at unchanged prices. Print cloths were active and very firm
at a further advance, extra 64x64s having sold at 3 3-16@3>^c.,
and 56x608 at 2 13-16c, Prints were quiet in first hands, asidefrom indigo blues and shirtings, in which considerable busi-
ness was reported. White goods, quilts and curtain materialscontinued in good demand for future delivery, and some good-sized orders for cotton hosiery were placed with the mill
agents.
Domestic Woolen Goods.—There was a good steady movement in men's-wear woolens in execution of back orders, andstocks are so well in hand that all desirable makes are firmly
held. New business in clothing woolens was however com-paratively light, and mainly confined to a few speci.=iltie8.
Nearly all the most popular styles of cassimeres, suitings,
trouserings and worsteds adapted to the spring trade areunder the control of orders to the extent of the season's pro-
duction, and the general condition of the market for men's-wear goods is much more satisfactory than for years past, the
diversification of production having largely contributed to
this result. Ladies cloths, tricots, cloakings, Jersey clothi
and stockinettes were severally in fair demand, and there wasa steady call for small parcels of all-wool dress fabrics, andsoft wool suitings, for ladies' wear. Kentucky jeans andsatinets ruled quiet and steady in price, and there was a mod-erate business in flannels, blankets, carpets, shawls, skirts,
wool hosiery, knit underwear and fancy knit woolens. Afeature of the week was an auction sale of 1,000 packagesWillowdale white bed blankets, which were damaged bywater and smoke at a recent warehouse Are. The goods werein poor condition, but the entire offering was readily disposed
of to good advantage.
FoKEioN DiiY Goods.—Importers continued to receive fair
orders for specialties in dress goods, &c., for next season, butthe demand for immediate distribution was light aad irreg'ular.
Silks and velvets continued quiet in first hands, but black
velveteens were in fair request. Dress goods were mostly
quiet, as were neaily all descriptions of men's-wear woolens.
Linen goods, laces, white goods and embroideries were sever-
ally quiet, and there was but a limited business in hosiery andgloves. It was an " off week" in the auction rooms, the offer-
ings of foreign goods having been small and unimportant.
