TIIS FINANCIAL SITUATION.Ever since the new year began, and especially since the

early part of February, the volame of mercantile transac

tions has been on the increase. The heavy snows and

subsequently the destructive floods in the "West, coupled

with the abiding distrust felt as to Congressional action

on revenue and currency questions, have to an extent sup-

pressed the developing tendency ; but the vast crops of

last year only just now proving their extent, are finally,

in spite of adverse influences, making their value

felt by forcing activity in mercantile circles every-

where. Wheat, corn, cotton and provisions are being

hurried to market—most of them as never before

60 late in the season—while money and goods in

increasing amounts are moving from the East to meet the

want they make. As a natural consequence. Wall street

has become steadier in tone and valiAs less easily infla-

enced by every passing rumor.

The public seems to have settled down to the conviction

that whatever Congress does or fails to do, will be of less

harm to business interests than its continuance in session.

There is scarcely a hope now of its doing anything wisely

during the few hours left it. If it passes a revenue bill at

all, the sections which apply to internal taxes will take oSabout 42 millions of Government income, but whether the

tariff provisions will lessen or increase the customs is a

matter of great uncertainty. That relief is seriously

needed, is shown with even more emphasis than hereto-

fore, through the Government figures of receipts for the

month of February, which have been kindly furnished us.

The statement for the month and for the eight months

to March 1st is as follows.

Here we have an actual increase in the total revenue

for February of about 1^ millions, notwithstanding during

the same time customs fell off 2^ millions. With the

adjournment of Congress the receipts from internal taxes

are likely to continue to show some expansion, while prob-

ably customs duties too will soon improve again, and if

no bill is passed and none of those taxes are repealed, the

reader can easily imagine how bond calls will progress

next year, and what influence that is likely to have in

forcing a contraction of bank currency. Even now, with

the large appropriations of a year ago, debt reduction is

making very rapid progress. The past month, with pen-

sion disbursements alone reaching nearly 1 million dollars,

the debt of all kinds, less cash in the Treasury, has been

reduced $7,630,678, and since the first of July (eight

mouths) the actual decrease in interest bearing debt has

been ,$108,014,650, and the decrease less cash in the

Treasury, $102,638,346. That the reader may see the

changes which have been made during those months and

which are now making and the bonds left for call before

the 3s are reached, we have prepared the following state-

ment of the interest-bearing debt on the first of last July

and the first of each of the last two months.

But it is useless to speculate on the results of a policy

which, at the moment of writing, is in doubt, but which

must become fixed by the action or non-action of Congress

almost as soon as, and in many cases before, th s rM:hes

232 THE CHRONICLE. Vol. XXXVI.

the reader's eye. The Btatements we have given above,

however, will indicate what the country must expect or

what it has escaped, according as the event may be when

Congress adjourns.

In the meantime, it is gratifying to know that there are

great recuperative forces at work, the outcome of

the abundant production of last year, which,

if followed with plenty the present summer,

even the worst our legislators may do, can only

partially suppress. The latest evidence of this is seen in

Ihe decided movement in foreign exchange this week, for

instead of the dull and featureless market which has so

long prevailed, activity and lower rates have ruled. It is

reported that the comparatively firm tone which char-

acterized the market during February was largely due to

the fact that shippers of cotton to a considerable extent held

their bills off the market, being unwilling to sell at the

current rates. The weakness last week served to alarm

the holders of these cotton drafts, and early this week

they threw them upon the market in such volume as for

the moment to demoralize it, and these bills were sold at

a large reduction from previous rates. Then came a

pressure of bankers' bills, drawn against outgoing secu-

rities, and of commercial drafts which,had been bought

on speculation and had become equivalent to sight.

Finally, the reduction of the Bank of England rate of

discount to 3 per cent, caused a further decline in short

sterling, and on Thursday morning the indications

pointed to still weaker exchange.

But in the afternoon of the latter day there was a

steadier tone, and on Friday a little more firmness early

in the day, as was natural after so sharp a fall; but later

the market became weaker again. Of course, the decline

revives the discussion with regard to the probability of

gold imports. That event depends mainly upon our

money market and the free shipment of our productions,

and yet it may be wholly controlled by the movement

of securities. Now this movement is in our favor;

but the London stock market has followed ours so

closely that a further rise here may very likely tempt

sales for European account, and such sales might be in

sufficient amount to absorb all produce bills offering, es-

pecially if the supply of wheat for shipment is restricted

by speculation. With the Bank of England rate at 3 per

cent and gold bullion at its present price, exchange should

sell—to cover all charges for insurance, commissions, &c.

—

at about 4 80^ for long and 4 82^ for short to make gold

imports profitable. Some bankers, however, do not in-

sure their gold, and pay no commissions for purchases on

the other side ; consequently they can make the transac-

tion, even if exchange is a little less favorable. These

statements suggest that there must be a further consider-

able drop in the rates before gold can be imported at a

profit. Nevertheless, with the tone of the market heavy,

and with indications of a further decline, gold might be

ordered out from London on speaulation even before the

rates had touched the point given above.

Although, as stated, there has been a better feeling in the

stock market this week, in sympathy with the improvingcommercial outlook, but little change for the better has

taken place in values. Still, some events affecting special

propel ties have transpired which were favorable. The deci-

sion of Judge Ingraham in the Western Union suit was so

interpreted, for although he holds that the issue of

new stock was unauthorized, he indicated that

the only remedy now, was against the directors

who consented to it, and that the stock could not befollowed. The final discharge of the Reading receivers

was also a favorable event, as it caused an advance in that

property, and the other coal shares sympathized with it.

This resumption of operations by the Reading road is a

well-earned triumph for Mr. Gowen, especially as the

property takes its place to-day among solvent corporations

with net income increased since 1880 from 5^ to '7|

millions, and with better prospects for new business than

it ever before enjoyed. Its relations to and now con-

nections with Mr. Vanderbilt's system of roads, so soon to

be available, and a possible connection in the future

with Jersey Central, open for this old corporation a wide

field.

The Pennsylvania statement of earnings for January has

also, been issued this week, and was well received. The

report shows very large gains over 1882 on the lines east of

Pittsburg and Erie, exhibiting an increase of no less than

$556,036 in gross and of $396,792 in net, while last year

the loss in net was only $132,595, and gross earnings actu-

ally recorded a gain. We annex a comparison of January

gross earnings, operating expenses and net earnings back

to 1879 of the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie.

Both gross and net earnings, it will thus be seen, are

larger, than ever before. It is interesting to observe, how-

ever, that though gross earnings have increased since 1879

almost $1,400,000, net earnings have increased but little

more than $450,000, showing how much heavier expenses

are now than then. The figures west of Pittsburg and

Erie are not furnished in the same form, but we are simply

told what excess or deficiency there is after providing for

all expenses and fixed charges (including interest and

rentals). For January, 1883, this item is reported as a

surplus of $174,981, or $132,233 more than in January,

1882. Looking back, we find that in both 1880 and 1881

the surplus was over $300,000, so that the Western lines do

not make as favorable an exhibit as the Eastern. Not

having the details, we can not tell whether the

decrease is due to a diminution of gross earnings, an

increase of expenses, or higher interest charges, but it is

probable that there was more or less loss from each of

these causes.

Still another satisfactory event was Governor Cleve-

land's veto of the Elevated Railroad Five Cent Fare bill.

As we have often said, this measure was wholly uncalled

for, either by the people who use the roads or the circum-

stances which are connected with their operation. All

who cannot afford to pay ten cents can ride at five now;

and those whose habits and income permit them to take a

later train, by giving the higher rate help to sustain the

five cent hours and increase the facilities the public enjoy.

Until it is proved beyond all doubt that the roads can be

kept up to their present state of efiiciency on a five cent

fare, the first step towards establishing the wisdom of this

proposed law has not been taken by those clamoring for such

a reduction. The only argument in its favor we ever heard,

was that the roads are blamable for their stock-watering

operations, and to distress them now serves them right.

This would perhaps be good reasoning, if in harming

them we did not harm the public more.

The course of speculation in the stock maiket has not

been influenced materially by the rates for money, for

although the money market has been active this week it

has been less so than was expected considering the low

reserves of the banks. Dealers in commercial paper

report an abundant supply of notes, but comparatively little

inquiry for paper from the banks, which would indicate

that the loanable funds of those institutions are now fully

MAncii 8, 18t8.1 THE CHRONICLR 233

omployod. There appears to have been a steady demand

for money from the interior this week. The inquiry from

Chicago is mainly for gold coin, which cannot bo obtained

from the Sub-Treasury in^ that city for tho reason that

there is only a small supply there. Tho gold certificates

in use at tho Western banks are mostly redeemable at the

office in this city, an>l soiuo of those institutions have been

obliged to send them hither to procure gold to supply the

demands of banks in the interior. As food staples

and hogs are now moving to the distributing

centres in liberal proportions, and as cash is

required for that purpose, it is probable that

for the remainder of March at least tho West will call

for unusually large suras from this centre. There is also

a good demand from Canada, where money is ruling at

from 6 to 8 per cent, and this has compelled the tempo-

rary withdrawal of Canadian funds. So also the require-

ments for customs payments have baen heavy, and in this

way tho Treasury is taking money from the bank?, while

they have been liberally parting with funds to the inte-

rior. On Thursday the payment of $2,812,500 in-

terest on the 4^s commenced, but this sum will be

widely scattered, and only a small portion of it goes into

our banks. The indications therefore point to active

:uoney in the near future, and as bond redemptions are at

the moment insignificant, and cannot be large even if the

payment of outstanding calls is anticipited, there appears

to be very little prospect of relief except, indeed, from

gold imports. These will of course be stimulated by high

rates for money at this centre. The Treasury operations

for the week appear to have resulted in a gain, which is a

loss to the banks, of $1,472,525. The interior movement

was as follows.

THE CENTRAL PACIFIC'S INCOME IN 1882.

A statement has this week appeared in the Boston

papers, purporting to give the receipts and disbursements

of the Central Pacific for the late calendar year. As the

company does not issue its pamphlet report until about

August or September, and as there is at the moment morethan tho ordinary call for information about the com-

pany's affairs, this statement is deserving of notice,

especially as it bears evidences of having been prepared

by some one having access to the official statistics, though

without doubt it contains errors, typographical and other-

wise. The exhibit, just as published, but arranged in

tabular form, is as follows.

On application at the company's office iu this city to

have these figures corrected, we found that the company

could not furnish us a complete exhibit of all the particu-

lars at present, and therefore that they were unwilling to

indicate how far the above was right. That there are

errors in the figures is seen at a glance. For instance,

the receipts foot up about 28^ millions, instead of about

26 millions as given. Taking the items separately, how-

ever, we find the first one, which covers gross earnings,

to be correct, as it agrees with our own totals made

up from the company's monthly reports ; so also in all

probability is the item of interest on sinking funds,

for it tallies pretty well with the amount derived from

this source in previous years. The second item, on the

other hand,—earnings of steamer division—is evidently

anything but correct, and consequently readily accounts

for the difference in the total. It is simply impossible

that the company should have realized pretty nearly 2^

millions net on its steamer and barge transportation lines.

In 1881 these entailed a small loss ($1,702 63) and in

1880 a small profit ($3,527 52), and tho surplus or defi-

ciency on their operation is never great. We notice that

which when inserted in the table makes the total as above

given correct ; and that sum as the result of the steamer

account for the year, is reasonable and without much

doubt the exact figure.

The discrepancy in the expenses is not so easily explained.

The aggregate of the itemsgiven is only $21,645,181, while

the total states it at $22,679,940 24. We incline to the opin-

ion that either some item has been omitted, or else the error

is in the amount under the head of " company's sinking

fund and interest paid U. S.," which looks rather small.

In 1881 the company paid $948,845 on account of its

own sinking funds, and $1,038,935 24 to the United

States Government ($960,162 84 of the latter being paid

by transportation), or together $1,987,780—being pretty

nearly $900,000 more than the $1,100,000 in the table

above. The accuracy of no other item, we think, jvill be

called in question (since all agree so well with last year's

figures), except possibly the first—operating expenses

—

and that appears right, as it agrees with the total of the

monthly figures received at the New York oEBce.

With, then, these revisions, and leaving out the item of

amount paid for sinking funds, we fi nd the results of the

year's operations in 1882, compared with 1881, to be as

follows.

.$4,226,7116,268,380

The first three items in the above, which are known to

be correct, show the course of the company's business

Airing the year, and tell us that though gross earnings of

road increased a million and a half, expenses increased over

2 1-5 millions, leaving net earnings $600,000 below those

of 1881, on mileage say about 400 miles greater than in

that year. The increase in expenses is ascribed to lower

rates on traffic and to the larger amount required for

rentals of leased roads, which rentals are included in

expenses. The other items of disbursements, if reliable,

give an increase of $250,000, so that the balance remain-

ing, after all the payments mentioned, would be $5,419,-

320, as against $6,268,880, a diminution of $850,000.

The amount required for the six per cent dividends upon

the stock is $3,556,530; the balance, then, would bo amply

sufficient for that purpose, and leave besides a large surplus.

But in that of course we do not allow for any deductions

on account of sinking funds and the debt due the United

States, which two items, as stated above, aggregated in

1881 $1,987,780. Should tuese bejthe same in 1882 as in

1881, the balance would fall about $125,000 short of the

sum necessary for dividends.

Such shortage, however, would probably be moreapparent than real, for the revenue in the table above doesnot, as the company's ofQcials say, include anything onaccount of receipts from miscellaneous sources, whichwere in 1881 $612,656—$20,000 for " dividends Wells,

Fargo & Co.," and $592,656 "contract with Wells, Fargo& Co., stock sold." It is possible, too, that somethingmight be realized from the Land Department, over andbeyond the amount used in bond redemptions.

Further, it is not certain that the total to bepaid for sinking funds and to United States, will be

as large for 1882 as for 1881. The sum due the Govern-ment may not be materially changed, but the amountpaid for company's sinking funds in 1881 ($948,845) is

unusually large, and may have embraced something onthat account for previous years; wa do not, of course,

know that it did, but merely throw out the suggestion for

what it may be worth.

Finally, it is not by any means an established customwith railroads to use net earnings in payment of fundeddebt; moreover, the policy is open to the objection that pres-

ent stockholders lose by the operation, while future holders

must gain by it, which is, of course, scarcely fair to the

former. There are some roads that adhere to the practice

of providing for sinking funds in this way, but one or twoof the larger companies have recently abandoned it. la"

the case of the Central Pacific, the debt due to the Government may perhaps be placed in a somewhat different cate

gory, but as regards the sinking funds for its own debt the

company occupies precisely the same position that every

other railroad does.

COTTON CONSUMPTION AND OVERLANDMOVEMENT TO MARCH 1.

By means of the telegraph we are enabled to-day to bring

down our overland movement to March 1. The figures,

covering as they do the first six months of the season,

present a pretty safe basis upon which, within certain

limits, to estimate the year's yield.

OVERLAND MOVKMENT TO MARCH 1, 1883.

Compared with the two preceding years there has been

a still further increase during February in the marketing

of cotton by rail, notwithstanding the interruption the

flood caused during a portion of the time. The ^ro5* move-

ment for the month was 113,155 bales, against 56,147

bales last season and 92,301 bales in 1881; for the six

months the difference in favor of 1882-83, as compared

with 1881-82, is 61,125 bales, and with the preceding

season 142,866 bales. The figures of ncta\so show a decided

excess, the increase for the six months over the corres-

ponding period of last season being 173,201 bales, and

over 18S0-S1 being 111,509 bales. The details for the

first six months of the season this year, and the two pre-

vious years, are as follows.

bales over 1881-82 and 440,879 bales over 1880-81.

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

March 1 taken 1,293,201 bales, an increase over the corres-

ponding period of 1881-82 of 80,686 bales, and a decrease

from the same months of 1880-81 of 32,770 bales.

AMOUNT OP CHOP NOW IN SIGHT.

In the foregoing we have the number of bales which

have 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 March 1, compared with a

year ago. We reach that point by adding to th« above th«stock remaining at that <lato at the interior towns, leMstock hold by them at the beginning t»f the season. Inthis manner we find the result for the three years onMarch 1 to be as follows.

This indicates that the increased movement up to thisdate of the present year is 1,034,558 bales as compared with1881-82, and 456,879 bales as compared with 1880-81.The marketing, however, during the latter year has hith-erto most closely compared with the present season.Hence it may be of interest to add the increase alreadyindicated to the actual crop of that year. By doing so it

appears that the total production this season would be7,046,000 bales;—that is to say, the yield would reachthat figure if there is no fuither increase or decreasein the movement for the remaining months of this seasoncompared with the same months of 1880-81.

was of very fair proportions, though the demand wasinterrupted at times by the diflBculties attendant upontransportation. Plain cottons were relatively more active

than colored fabrics, and the best qualities were merefreely distributed than the lower grades. Stocks con-

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF FEBRUARY, 1883.

The month of February was one of comparative de-

pression and sluggishness in commercial and financial

afiairs. One of the main causes for this was found in the

great cloud of uncertainty thrown over affairs by the

pendency in Congress of the bill for altering the tariff and

internal revenue laws, and as many branches of mercan-

tile business would be greatly affected by changes in

these laws, the uncertainty operated as an unavoidable

damper on trade.

The money market worked very easily in February, and

rates on call ranged at 4@6 per cent to borrowers on

stock collaterals and 2@3 per cent to the large dealers in

government bonds. But the city bank reserves were de.

dining under the demand for money from the country,

and the surplus reserve on February 24 was down to

$1,209,000. Therefore in the last days of the month rates

for money advanced and closed at 5@Cper cent on stocks.

At the Stock Exchange there was a lack of animation

and generally depression. The blockades of snow in the

Northwest had a bad effect on the earnings of railroads

in that section, and although in other quarters the rail"

road prospects were good, prices of stocks did not re-

spond, and the prevailing atmosphere at the Board was

one of cloudiness and dissatisfaction by those who were

carrying stocks. There was an active effort made by the

bears to depress stocks, and this was more or less success,

ful, as there was no such hearty support given by the

prominent operators as would support prices under the

attack of the bears. The uncertainty of commercial

affairs caused by the discussions in Congress, as noted

above, also had much effect in preventing any active

movement in stocks, and there was a general looking for-

ward to the spring months for a better movement in the

market. In the last few days of February prices becamefirmer, and the month closed with a better outlook.

Foreign exchange ruled firm in the first part of Feb-

ruary, although the exports of produce increased in

volume, and the tendency was also towards a reduction ofimports. It appeared as if the outward movement of stocksand bonds was smaller than usual, and there were someconsiderable amounts which came home from foreio-n mar-kets. Towards the close of the month rates became easier.The following summary shows the condition of the Mew

(From our own correspondent.!

London, Saturday, Fubruary 10, 1883.

The features of interest of eacouragemeat ia the oommBrcialand financial world during the week ja.st closed have been ex-

ceedingly few. In fact, buHiness generally has been of thequietest description, and the variations in the prices of securities

and commodities have baen exceedingly trifling. The weather re-

mains as unpropitiouH as it can be for the agricultural interests,

the fall of rain having again been heavy. The days are mildand occasionally bright, there having been heavy falls of rainat night, and vegetation is in a more forward state than it

should hi at this season of the year. The work of sowingcereals continues at a standstill, and it is diffl ult to say when it

will be resumed. The agricultural prospect is certaialy a poorone, and thw production of wheat this season can scarcely ap-proach an average. Political aflfairs have shown no new devel-opment, but hopes are entertained that the period of lawless-ness in Ireland is reaching its termination. Parliament meetsnext Thursday, and the country is promised—what it muchdesires—domestic legislation, the neglect of which is now beingfelt considerably.

In the discount market during the week much quietness hasprevailed, and the rates of discount have had a downwardtendency. The quotation for three months' bank bills is

3M@3% per cent. Money for short periods has, however, beenin demand, and the rate is 3M@4 per cent. This is attributedto the fact that the leading railway companies will be distribut-ing their dividends next weak, and preparations are now being

made to facilitate the operation. The foreign exchanges re-main favorable to us, and no immediate change in the value ofmoney is expected to take place. The following are the presentrates of discount

:

The revenue is now being rapidly collected, and the Treasurybalance at the Bank of England has during the past week beenaugmented to the extent of £1,715,412. This large increase

in the liabilities of the Bank has caused the proportion of,

reserve to liabilities to decline to 46^ per cent. At this

period last year the proportion was only 33)^ per cent

and the Bank rate was 6 per cent. The total supply of bullion

is £22,395,827, against £19,301,005, while the reserve of notes

and coin is £12,955,652 and £9,935,710 in 1882. It is quite

clear that the financial position is much more satisfactory thanit was a year ago, and there is every reason for believing that

until next autumn considerable ease will prevail. Tenders for

£1,820,000 Treasury bills were opened on Tuesday at the Bankof England. The amounts allotted were as follows, viz : In

bills at three months, £1,429,000 and at six months £400,000"

Tenders for bills at three months, at £99 6s. 2d., will receive

about 53 per cent, and above in full ; and for bills at six

months at £98 138. and above in full. These allotments repre-

sent a discount rate of £2 15s. 4d. and £2 148. per cent per an-num respectively.

The movements in gold during the week have not been im-portant, but coin has been returning in considerable quantities

from provincial circulation. The silver market has been dull,

the price of fine b-irs being 50>^d. to 50%d., and of Mexicandollars 49%d. per ounce.

Tenders were received at the Bank of England on Wednesdayfor £500,000 in India Council bills. An average rate of Is.

7-375d. was obtained. Tenders on all Presidencies at Is. 7%d.received in full. Since the commencement of the financial

year these bills have realized a sum of £11,331,562.

State of Georgia Depository.—The Atlanta Constitutionof February 21st states that Governor Stephens on the previousday issued an order continuing the Fourth National Bank ofNew York as the fiscal agent of the State of Georgia in thesettlement of financial business in New York, in paying theprincipal and interest on the public debt. The last ression ofthe Legislature ordered the sale of $160,000 worth of UnitedStates bonds, held by the State, and received as part paymentof the purchase money of the Macon & Brunswick Railroad.With regard to this matter Governor Stephens ordered thatwhen the bonds are sold the money be placed in the Statedepository in New York, and not brought to Atlanta. Weunderstand that the bonds were sold in this city on Wednesdayfor about $180,000, and the proceeds deposited as directed.

—Mr. A. M. Townsend, the agent of the Hong Kong &Shanghai Banking Corporation, states that the proflt.8 for thehalf-year ending Dec. 31 last were about $800,000, of which thefollowing disposiiion is made : The dividend is increased from£1 10s. to £2 per share, and a bonus of 10 shillings per share inaddition is also paid. A further addition of ^150.000 is made tothe regular reserve fund, raising that fund to $2,500,000, and$100,000 is placed to a new reserve fund, to be used for the pur-pose of equalizing dividends ; $50,000 are written off premises ac-count, and $60,000 are carried forward to credit of next half-year's account. The la.st quotation for the shares ($125 paid) is

some quarters as a good rather than a bad sign. It indicates

a better demand for money in channels of business apart from

stock speculation, and this shows an increased activity in the

movements of merchandise, which is ono of the things most

desired to improve the commercial situation.

Congress will adjourn to-morrow, and there is much hope

from present indications that a tariff and revenue bill will be

passed. At all events, the suspense will be relieved, and this

in itself will remove an incubus from the commercial world.

It may be observed in regard to the deliberations of Congress,

that it is inevitable, while an important economic measure

is pending, that it should have a prejudicial effect upon busi-

ness, and comments upon this fact should not l>e construed as

hostile and indiscriminate criticism of our national legislators.

In regard to the situation at the Stock Exchange, there has

been a decidedly stronger and more confident feeling, which,

60 far, goes to support the views heretofore expressed in this re-

port—that the causes of depression were of a temporary charac-

ter. But there is one suggestion that should be made in this

connection, and that is, that since many persons have been look-

ing forward to the 5th of March as a period when a rise was

likely to take place in thestock market, some of the heavy oper-

ators may have prepared for such a contingency. It might

happen that with a strong market next week a largo amotmt

of long stock wotild be fed out by certain distinguished opera-

tore with the natural result of causing a sharp reaction imme-

diately afterward. This suggestion may go for what it is

worth, but the transaction has occurred so frequently before

—

on the celebrated " spring opening " of 1883 for one recent ex-

ample—that we can hardly forbear a passing remark upon the

subject.

The money market has shown an advance in rates, as the

bank reserves have been declining for some weeks past, and

the demand for money in the country just prior to the opening

of navigation is naturally on the increase. Stock borrowers

have paid 5(gG per cent for money, and in exceptional c.ises

brokers had to pay 7, 8 or 9 for loans near the close of busi-

ness hours. Government bond dealers are not offered so much

money as they were a short time ago, and they pay how about

304 per cint. Prime commercial paper is quoted at 5J2@8

per cent.

The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday

showed a gain of £107,000 in specie, and the percentage of

reserve to liabilities was 43, against 44 1-16 last week ; the dis-

cotmt rate was reduced to 3 per cent from 3^ per cent. The

Bank of France gained 1,800,000 franca gold and lost 1,050,000

francs silver.

The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement

of Feb. 34 showed a decrease of $3,405,825 in their surplus

reserve, the total surplus being $1,300,000, against $3,074,835

the previous week.

The following table shows the changes from the previous

week and a comparison with the two preceding years:

United states Bonds.—The government bonti market has

still been kept rather unsettled by the discussions in Congress,

and the volume of business in all classes of these bonds has

been restricted.

State and Railroad Bonds.—There have been but few

transactions in State bonds, and to-day the Ark., 78 L. E. P. B.

& N. O. issue, sold at 4.j; the Miss. Oua. & Rod River issue 45;

Virginia 6s. consol. 58.' The last-named bonds have advanced

sharply of late, on the prospect of a decision from the U. S.

Supreme Court in favor of Va. bondholders. Tennessee bonds

are unsettled by the pending or proposed legislation at Nash-

ville, and must remain unsettled till something definite is

known as to the measures which will be adopted.

Railroad bonds have not been conspicuous for activity, but

prices are generally firmer throughout most of the list. The

Texas Pacific incomes have advanced to 60@61 , on quite active

buying.

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market

has developed a perceptibly stronger tone this week, and in

various classes of stocks the feeling is better. A comparison

of the closing prices to-day with those of last Friday shows a

material gain in the prices of many of the active stocks on the

list. The time is approaching when the earnings should show

the largest gain over those of last year, aa in the period from

March 1 to August 1, before the crops of 1883 can begin to

move, the tonnage this year should largely exceed that carried

in the same months of 1883. The receipts of cotton from week

to week are now much in excess of last year, and the grain

receipts (com included) are also showing a considerable in-

crease. On the other liand, it may be well to note that there

is a good deal of stock to be disposed of by parlies who have

been carrying for a long time with the intention of selling on

the first good chance, and, aside from the supply furnished by

the few great operators, it would not be suprising if a moderate

rise in the market shotild bring out a good deal of long stock.

The Vanderbilt stocks share in the general improvement, and a

fast freight line over the Nickel-Plate road, in connection with

Del. Lack. & Western, is one of the new features reported.

The coal stocks have been stronger on the large buying of Del.

Lack. & West, and the delivery of Reading from the hands

of her receivers of 1880. The Gould stocks have shared in the

improvement, and the Wabashes have recovered from the

decline which took place on the announcement of the equip-

ment bond decision. To-day the Nortthem Pacific and the Ore-

gon-Transcontinental were the most buoyant of the list, and

advanced sharply in the last hour of business ;the general

feeling was also strong, and at the cloee stocks were, as a rule,

near the highest point of the day.

ANNUAL REPORTS.

Pliiladelphia & Frie Railroad.

(For the year ending Beceinber 31, 1882.)

The report says that the item of |46,835 found in the state-

ment of expenditures embraces the taxes upon loans and

bonded indebtedness from the passage of the present tax law,

on the 7fh of June, 1879, until the first Monday of November,

1881, about two years and a half. After the passage of this

act, a do-bt arose as to its legality in so far as it required the

company to retain the tax on loans and bonded indebtedness,

and in the fall of 1881 the Pennsylvania Kailroad Company, for

itself and companies in which it was intere.sted, effected an

arrangement with the State authorities by which certam mat-

ters of dispute, as to the amounts properly returnable if the

law was valid, were adjusted. The tax was paid under a written

stipulation signed by the Board of Public Accounts, providing

in substance that if the courts should decide the act to be inap-

plicable, then the amount so paid should be credited on other

and valid taxes accruing first after the date of such decision.

Litigation with other companies upon this question has

resulted in decisions in the Court of Common Pleas of DauphinCounty holding the act invalid, and an appeal is now pending

in the Supreme Court from the judgment of the lower court

aforesaid. Should the decision of the lower court be sustained,

the company will be entitled to a credit on subsequent yearly

" The anthracite coal tonnage decreased 2'4 per centum. Thebituminous coal traffic has maintained the large increase of the

previous year, and added 11'3 per centum thereto. The oil

traflic shows an increase of 177 per centum, recovering the loss

of the year 1881, and showing an increase of 15'6 per centumover 1880. The tonnage of agricultural products (grain, &e.)

New York Outario & Western Railway.

(For the year ending Sept. 30, 1882.)

The report of operations as made to the State Engineer andSurveyor for the iiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1882, are presented

in a pamphlet report:

"The earnings from freight and passengers show an increase

of 25 per cent over the previous year. The improvement of

the road and equipment, in anticipation of increased traflic to

result from the extension of the operations of the companyfrom Middletown to New York, has been, during the whole of

the past year, steadily and vigorously prosecuted." The ex-

pectation that the railway building between Middletown andWeehawken would be in operation before the close of the fiscal

year was not realized, but the difficulties in construction have

been overcome and thetrack was about completed on the first

of March, 1883.

The construction of the new line is of a most substantial

character, and when opened for business can be operated at a

lower cost than if it was poorly constructed. Terminal facili-

ties at Weehawken, said to be equal to those of any of the

trunk lines terminating at New York harbor, are being provid-

ed, and will be ready for use when the connection is made andthe road opened fortrafflc.

Under the head of "cost of road and equipment" for the year

1881-2 are embraced the following expenditures: Grading andmasonry, $103,076; bridges, $99,904; superstructure, $113,036;

passenger. and freight stations, building.s and fixtures, $60,308;

engine and car houses, machine shops, machinery and fixtures,

$16,740; land, land damages and fences, .$53,960; locomotives,

engines and fixtures, $42,384; passenger and baggage cars,

$10,503; freight and other oars, $198,051; making a total in

the year of $703,967. In 1880-81 the expenses on same account

were $495,377. The road and equipment were purchased bythis company on the reorganization, and paid for in the com-mon and preferred stock of the company, issued pursuant to

the plan and agreement inserted in the certificate of incorpora-

tion filed in the oflSoe of the Secretary of State for a sumamounting to $51,010,778. making the total nominal cost to

Sept. 30, 1882, $!)2,210,122.

Hanhattsin Elevated—Metropolitan Elftrated —JudgeBarrett, in his recent decision, declared void the so-called

merger agreement entered into by the directors of the three

elevated railway companies, and suggested to the counsel of

the opposing companies that they should agree upon someform of an order which would enable the Manhattan Companyto pay to the other companies the rental due them, but whichwould at the same time be incapable of any construction favor-

able to the validity of the merger agreement. The counselpresented orders to Judge Barrett which were entirely

antagonistic, and Justice Barrett decided simply to grant theinjunction against the carrying into effect of the merger agree-mentas asked for by the A:etropolitaa Company. The companywas required to give $50,000 additional security.

Mexican Central.—In Boston it was reported, March 1, thatthe subscriptions received from shareholders of the MexicanCentral Railroad insured an excess of the $6,000,000 asked for.

Mntnal Union Tclegrapii.—Justice Barrett, in the SupremeCourt, Chambers, rendered a decision that the recent applica-tion of the Attorney-General for leave to bring an action in thecame of the people for the forfeiture of the charter of theMutual Union Telegraph Company should be granted. Theeubstaiice of Justice Barrett's opinion is as follows:

If the allegations against the company be true—and they arenot denied—the company's charter should be annulled and theAttorney-General would be derelict in his duty if he failed toproceed with the suit. The company, it is alleo'ed, unlawfullyIncreased its capital stock from $600,000 to $10,000,000. It is

also charged that nearly the whole of this $10,000,000 of stockwas turned over to the construction company—whose serviceswere worth about $4,500,000—for the purpose of evadisg thelaw requiring the capital stock to be paid up, and to enablethese contractors to divide the stock among the directors of thecompany who were interested in the construction contract. Ifthese charges are true, public policy demands that the Attorney-General proceed with the suits.

' The Attorney-General hasnothing to do with the motives of the relators, Gould andothers.

The Times reports that Mr. John G. Moore, the President ofthe Mutual Union Telegraph Company, said the decision ofJudge Barrett granting the application to bring suit to annulthe charter of the corporation would net interfere with thelease of its lines to the AVestern Union Company. The prop-erty would remain if the charter were annulled. The rentalin the shape of dividends on the stock, interest on the bonds,&c, was to be paid to the stock and bondholders of the MutualUnion, or successor company. The aggregate amount whichshould be pail was stipulated, and a reorganization could beeffected. If the stock should be reduced the dividends wouldbe increased proportionately, so nothing would be lost by theholders of the securities. The wording of the lease itself pro-

By a reorganization of theMutual Union, in the event that its charter should be declaredInvalid, the arrangement between the two companies would beunimpaired.

"" ^"^ oompaiiies at their annual meeting on Feb^

—The New York Lackawanna & "Western Railroad has justbeen opened through to Buffalo for local passenger business,though freight has been carried over the entire length of theline for some time. President Sloan said that it was not intend-ed to make the extension a general passenger line, as therewere enough such lines already, but to employ its facilities forhandling freight. There had been a traffic arrangement be-tween the Lackawanna and the Nickel Plate, but in a few weeksthe two would start a fast freight line. Eac h company was toprovide 500 cars for the servic- between New York and Chicago,whi.ch would be known as the Lackawanna Past Freight Line.Similar arrangements had been made with other roads, butPresident Sloan declared the many published reports of combi-nations to make up through railroad lines untrue. TheLackawanna, he said, would remain an independent line underconservative management. It had been asked to join the pool,but it preferred to remain outside. It would, however, main-tain pool rates and keep good faith with the other roads.

New York Pennsylvania & Ohio.—The arrangements for thelease of this road to the New York Lake Erie & Western arereported to have been virtually completed. Mr. Charles E.Lewis, representing the English trustees of the New York Penn-sylvania & Ohio Road, has been for some time perfecting thelease and arranging its terms. The Wall Street News reportsthe agreement as follows:

TlieErle company aprrees to work the N. Y. P. & O. at 68 per cent ofIts sioss receipts up to $6,000,000; over that gum at a r.ate which wouldbe equal tfi (!5 p ^r cent of jiross earnings.The Krle compiiny agrees to send over the N. Y. P. & O. 6.5 per cent of

all its west-bound business and 50 per cent of all east-bound business; orit guarantees to pay for this amount, whether it carries it or uot.The Erie company agrees to lend any money the N. Y. P. & O. may

require for Improvements at 5 per cent interest.

—In London the directors of the Atlantic First Leased LinesRental Trust, Limited, have issued their annual report, andstate that the rent payable by the N. Y. Penn. & Ohio Rail-way Company to the Cleveland & Mahoning Valley has beenpunctually paid during the year, and a farther portion of thereserve funds in the hands of the Cleveland Company havingbeen released, that company has been enabled to pay the samedividend as last year. The full interest on the debenture issueat 4 per cent for the year having been provided for, and aninterim dividend of £1 lOs. percent on the stock having beenpaid in August last, it is proposed at the ensuing meeting todeclare a dividend of 2 per cent, making 3^ per cent for theyear. An undivided balance of £6,279 will remain to be carriedforward.

Oregon & raliforuia.—"It will be remembered that the com-pany issued $6,000,000 of six per cent mortgage bonds twoyears ago, for the purpose of building and equipping 170 mileaof new road from Rosebury to the northern terminus of theOregon branch of the Central Paciflc Railroad ; but, as $1,700,-000 of that capital was required to pay off the " Prior LienBonds" which the company issued in' 1879, there was only$4,300,000 of six per cent mortgage bonds available for thepurpose of constructing the proposed southern extensionwhich we have mentioned ; and, owing to the costly nature ofa portion of the new road, which runs through two ranges ofmountains, and also to the original extremely low estimate ofits probable cost, it has been fund necessary to raise additionalcapital iu order to accomplish the necessaryjunction of theOregon & California Railroad with the Central Paciflc Railroadby means of the new southern extension now in course of con-struction. * * «

" Mr. Henry Villard, who is the Presidt,nt of the Oregon &Transcontinental Company (which controls the Northern Pa-ciflc and Oregon Railway & Navigation companies), as well as

of the Oregon & California Railroad, has, in this matter, provedto be a sincere and faithful trustee of the interests of theOregon & California Railroad shareholders. He has offered,

on behalf of the Oregon & Transcontinental Company, to

find the whole of the money necessary to fully complete thebuilding of, and to equip with rolling-stock, the southernextension of the Oregon & California road, so as to insure

beyond all doubt its completion and its consequent conversionfrom a merely local road into a great highway connecting SanFrancisco with the Eastern ports of the United States. » • *

" The preference shareholders, who have undoubtedly a veryvaluable property in their hands, have rea.son to confide in thegood faith of their President, who, at a diflicult time like thepresent, has succeeded in finding means to raise them out of aserious difficulty by his undertaking on behalf of the Oregon &Transcontinental Company to subscribe for the whole of the

bonds which will have to hi issued to provide for the entire

Railwny Construction In the Untied States In 18S2.—ThaChicago Raihnay Age has ttnished its compilation of railroadmileage constructed iu the year 1882, aud reachee a grand totalof 11,343 miles. The Age has given much attention to the snb*ject, and has parsned a method, which is greatly to be com-mended, in giving the details for every road en which newtrack has been laid. There is so much guessing andestimating on railroad statistics that a compilation madein this way, after a genuine effort to get at the facte,

U the more highly to be esteemed. The Age says: '• In thelast issue for 18S2, this journal published a summary by Statesof the miles of new track laid during that year of whichit then had obtained record, showing a tvt\\ of 10.'^21 miles.

Since that time we have revised every item in the record,making a number of additions and corrections. » » « Thetotal ad now given hIiows 521 miles more than the total in oarDecember report. While this is not surprising, yet in justiceto onr own records we wish to state that after that reporc wentto press it was discovered that an item of 300 miles belongingto Teâs which had been properly transcribed was by somanaacuountable means omitted by an amstant employed tomake certain footing. Had this error not occurred the aggre-gate as given in December would have fallen only 221 milesshort- of that now given.

"As nearly as we can now ascertain, new railway track

—

main line only considered—was laid during 1832 in 45 ont ofthe 47 States and Territories, upon 3-13 different Hues, to theaggregate extent of 11,343 miles. This surpasses by about2,000 miles, or over 20 per cent, the remarkable work of the pre-ceding year, which in turn exceeded by some 2,000 miles, orover 27 per cent, any previous year in the history of theconntiy. Never before has the work of railway building beencarried on so generally throughout the country, new track hav-ing been added last year in every State except little RhodeIsland and Delaware, and in every one of the vast new terri-

tories. For convenience of investigation the States have beendivided in the summary into gronps." The following is oar corrected

Bailroa: Coiistriiclion (New.)—The latest information of

the completion of track on new railroad is as follows:

New Orleiiiis & No thcastern.—Extended from Enterprise, Miss,,

soutUward tii Aratn, 16 miles Track Is also laid from Lake Poncliar-

train. La., nortliwaKl 8 miles.Nortliern PaeiHe —Traolc on the western end Is extended eastward to

near the third crossing of Clark's Pork In Idaho, IS miles.

Kochesler & I'ittsliurs.— Kxteuded southward to Dubois, Pa., 13 miles.

This is a total of 52 miles. maSine 220 miles thus far reported for

1383, apiiinet 4.'i2 miles raported at the corresponding time iu 1882, 199miles iu 1881.497 miles iu 1 880 and 97 miles in ISTJ—XaUroad Gazelle.

Sf. Paul & Dnlntli.—This railroad company reports for

1882: Gross ea^ning^ of railroad, 1 1,109,840, an increase of

51'49 per cent on 18S1; operating expenses, betterments andrepairs, $798,594, an increase of 2932 per centj net earnings of

railroad, $311,246; receipts of land department, net, |2S5,597;

net income for year, $538,843; deducting from this the interest

on bonds, 5 per cent, $50,000, and the dividends on pre-

ferred stock, 7 per cent, $358,641—408,641—there remains abalance of income for 1882 of $130,202; the balance of incomefrom 1881 having been $175,634, there remains a balance of in-

come, January 1, 1883. $305,836. To this is added the balance

of deferred income, January 1, 1883, $305,074, making the total

f610,910. The improvement, construction and equipment ex-

penditures in 1882, paid for out of earnings and proceeds of

bonds sold, and added to the cost of the property, amounted to

1251,198.

Scioto Valley.—This railroad company in Ohio has executeda mortgage to the Metropolitan Trust Company, of New York,for the sum of $7,500,000. This road is about to extend its line

northwest from Ct^lumbus to Fort Wayne, from whence it will

have an outlet to Chicago. A survey has now been made of theentire line, together with estimates of the cost of construction,and it is expected that work on the proposed extension will be-gin as soon as spring opens.

Tenne!>gee Debt.—A bill for the settlement of the State debtwas introduced in the Legislature Feb. 26. The bill was per-fected by the Democratic caucus, and will probably pass. TheState debt proper ($2,118,000 principal) is funded in full withthe contract rate of interest, four years interest being deducted.Bonds held by educational institutions in the State and by Mrs.President Polk are funded on the same terms, the balancebeing funded at fifty cents on the dollar, with 3 per centinterest.

Wabash St. Lonis & Paciflc—In the case for the old equip-ment bondholders, Mr. C. W. Hassler, the attorney, telegraphsfrom Indianapoli.-i, Feb. 28 :

" Decree entered for 70 per centinterest, with right of further order for principal if not paidbythe first of May; the total amount, over one million dollars,being a lien on the road in Ohio and Indiana, prior to the lien ofthe consolidated bonds of 1867. No appeal has yet beenfiled."

Western Union Telegraph.—Judge Ingraham, in the Su-preme Court, Chambers, rendered a decision in which he deniedthe motion to continue the temporary injunction recently ob-tained by William S. Williams restrainine the Western UnionTelegraph Company from allowing any "of the $15,526,590 ofilleeal stock of the company to be transferred on its books.Judge lagraham says, in his opinion, that the first thing to de-termine is what the General Term actually decided in regard tothe $15,000,000 of stock. The General Term, as he understoodit, decided that the increase of the capital stock of the WesternUnion Company to $80,000,000 was legal, but that the distribu-tion of the $15,000,000 of stock among the shareholders of thecompany was illegal. The $15,000,000 of stock ought to haveremained in the treasury of the company as a part of its assets,and could only have been parted with for value. Between thejudgment of thn Special Term and that of the General Term,the greater part of thn $15,000,000 of stock had been transferredto innocent purcha.sers by the persons to whom it had beenonginallj' issued. On this state of facts it is still undeterminedwhat relief the plaintiff will in the end be entitled to, and thisquestion must be determined in the plaintiff's favor to the effectthat the $15,000,000 must be delivered up and canceled beforehe can be entitled toau injunction restraining the transfer ofthis stock on the books of the company. The opinion says :

The speculation in cotton for future delivery has been fairly

active the past week, but prices steadily gave way down to

the opening of Wednesday's business, when an advance set in.

which continued with some vigor down to the closo of Thura-

dayt the recovery from the lowest figures amounted to 10 @12 points for this crop and 5 @ 7 for the next. The removal

of all danger of a serious overflow of the Mississippi River,

large receipts at the Southern ports and interior towns andbetter weather at the South for Held work quito discouraged

operators for the rise, and many of them sold out early in theweek. The improvement afterwards was due to a demand tocover contracts, stimulated (on Thursday) by somewhatstronger advices from Liverpool. But to-day there was asliarp decline again. Liver|K)ol made no response to theadvance here, and Manchester reported a weak market for

yarns. Of course these advices were very disappointing andcaused some pressure to realize. Cotton on the spot wasunchanged till yesterday, when the high grades advanced %c.To-day the market was quiet, middling uplands closing at10 3-16C.

The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 477,000

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

3,560 bales, including for export, 2.346 for consumption,

214 for speculation and 1,000 in transit. Of the above, 500 bales

were to arrive. The following are the official quotations for

each day of the past week.

BBOBIpn FROM THS PLANTATION^.—The following table 111

preparrtd for the purpose of indiuatinK the actual movement eachwaek from the plautatiuas. Receipts at the outports are some-timns mi.slrtading, as they are made np more largely one yearthan another at the expense of the interior stocks. " We reachtherefore, a safer conclosion throagh a comparative statementlike the following. In reply to frequent inquiries we will addthat these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or

Southern consumption; they are simply a statement of th"-

weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the cropwhich finally reaches the market throagh the ont-ports.

IiroiA Cotton Movexent peom all Forts.—We have during

the past year been endeavoring to rearrange our India service

80 as to make our reports more detailed aad at the same time

more 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 shipments frim oneIndia port to another. The plan we have now adopted, as vve

have reason to believe, will relieve us from the danger of this

inaccuracy and keep the totals correct. We first give the

Bombay statement for the week and year, bringing the figures

down to March 1.

OvEKLAND Movement, &c., to Maech 1.—In our editorial

columns to-day will be found our regular statement of over-land movement, receipts, exports, spinners' takings, &o,,

brought down to March 1st.

Jute Bdtts, Baooino, &c.—Bagging has been taken quitefreely in small lots but round parcels are hard to move. Pricesare not very steady, though holders still ask full rates and atthe close the quotations are 7Mc. for 1^ lbs., 8c. for 1% lbs.,

9c. for standard grades. The manufacturers have formed apermanent organization for the protection of their mutualinterests. Butts have arrived to some extent but most of thelots were reported as being placed previously, "There is only alight inquiry for spot goods, and the market is about steadyat 2e. for paper grades and 2,'^@2%c. for bagging qualities.

CoMPAEATiVE Poet Rbobipts and Daily Crop Movement.—A comparison of the port movement by weeks is not accurateas the weeks in different years do not end on the same day ofthe month. We have consequently added to our other standingtables a daily and monthly statement, that the reader mayconstantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relativemovement for the years named. The movement each monthsince September 1, 1882, has been as follows:

BREADSTUFF S.

Fktdat, p. M., Maroli 2, 1883.

Flour has been quite firm for some days past, after showingdepression in value earlier in the week. The sales, however,have not been liberal ; the firmness of holders has, in fact, keptthe transactions within quite moderate limits. The supply of

both winter and spring-wheat flour has been of only fair mag-nitude. To-day there was a good demand for the commonergrades, and these were in small supply, while the better gradeswere plentiful and not much wanted. Prices were steady.

Wheat has been less active both for export and on specula-tion, and early in the week the market was declining. Latterly,

however, there has been a re-action and the dechne has beenmore than recovered, the present quotations being ^[email protected] those of a week ago. The gradual subsidence of thefloods at the West and the more favorable weather in thatsection contributed largely to the depression in thefore part of the week, though the less buoyant marketsthere as well as abroad had likewise an unfavorable effect-

while within a day or two a heavy failure in Chicago hastended somewhat to check the upward movement of prices thatfollowed the early depression. There has been a fair trade forexport, but the speculative transactions have sunk back toabout their proportions previous to the recent unusual activity.To-day the market was steady for ca.sh wheat but irregular foroptions, which at one time were weak; No. 2 red sold at $1 22%@»1 23}j^ for March, $1 25@$1 26 for April, $1 26%©$1 27^^for May and $1 26%@$1 27M for June.

Indian corn has been fairly active at advancing pricesof late, though at one time the course of quotations was theother way. The fluctuations in corn have, in a large degree,been governed by those in wheat. To-day there was a declineof J6@lc. ; No. 2 mixed sold at 72^c. for March and 1i}^((i72Mc. for May, while April was quoted at 72M@72%o.Eye has been firm but quiet. Barley has sold moderately.

Oats have been an interesting feature of the market during theweek. Prices have advanced 1 to 2o., and yesterday the sales,argely of options, were 2,800,000 bushels, being the largest for asingle day on record. The supply here is about double thatheld at this time last year, but it is said to be well concentrated'and yesterday an advance of l^c. m Chicago caused considera-ble anxiety to cover, the result being the large transactionsmentioned. To-day, however, there was some re-action priceshere declining U@)io, wbile the demand was much le-^s urgentNo. 2 mixed sold at 52@52?^c. for March, 525^@53krc for An.ii

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.PiiroAT. P M.. March 2. 1833

The market for dry goods has shown more animation the pas*

week, and the volume of business was at least encouraging, if

not quite up to expectations. There was more activity in the

jobbing branches of the trade than at any time since the open-

ing of the season, and while staple and department goods were

distributed in fair quantities by dry goods jobbers, a materially

increased business was done by the wholesale clothing houses.

There was a steady demand at first hands for small reassort-

mente of domestics, prints, dress fabrics. &c., and very fair

orders were placed for heavy woolens by clothiers and jobbers.

• The tariff agitation in Congress has unfavorably influenced the

demand for foreign goods, and in this connection buyers con-

tinued to operate with extreme caution and in accordance withactnal wants. The tone of the general market is firm, and stocks

are by no means redundant, in view of the large demand for

consumption that will probably be developed as S(X>n as the

weather becomes more spiin^-likej

DoMBHTio CoTTorr OooM.—The export* of doni^tiai for th«week were 1,924 packages, of which 1,0«9 wi-re Rbipp«d toOhina, 198 to U. S. of Columbia, 14t> to Mexico, 140 to Haytl,106 to Santo Domingo, and smaller lota to other m»rki>tii.

There was a good, steady demand for brown and bleached (sot-

tons by personal selection and through the medlam of ordnn,and prices ruled firm on all the moat desirable brands. Corwtjeans, satteens, wide sheetings, qoilta and white goods werealso in good request and firm, but most desoriptiona of coloredcottons were sluggish in agents' bands. Printcloths were a little

more active, but prices receded to 3^c., less a small discoant.

for 64x64s, and 3^c, for 56x60b. at which flgnres both "spota"and "futures" were sold. Prints were in irregular demand,but a satisfactory business was done in some leading makes,and prices ruled steady on all desirable calicoes. Ginghamawere jobbed more freely, and agents experienced a light demandfor fine and standard dress styles, seersnckers, 4o.

Domestic Woolen Goods.—There was a fair bnsinew in heavyclothing woolens with buyers on the spot, and orders frontraveling salesmen were received to an important amonnt bysome of the commission houses. Fancy cassimeres were in

pretty good demand by the clothing trade, and considerable

orders were placed for the finer grades by cloth jobbers.

So with worsted coatings, in which transactions were fair in the

aggregate, and there was a steady movement in overcoatings

and cloakings. Prices remain firm on all clothing woolens of adesirable character, and some well-known makes of heavy cassi-

meres have been advanced about 10 per cent, owing to the

enhanced cost of the staple. Satinets were in fair request, with

most relative activity in the best grades ; but Kentucky jeans

and doeskins ruled quiet. Wool and worsted dress goods werein moderate request, and a fair business was done in carpets at

steady prices.

FoKEioN Det Goods,—There was a slight improvement in the

demand for imported goods at first hands, and the jobbing

trade was rather more active; but transactions were chiefly con-

fined to such small parcels as are required for immediate dis-

tribution. The feature of the week was a large aaction sale of

silks, which proved to be a success, both black and colored silks

having been sold with considerable freedom at fair, though not

very remunerative, prices.

The importations of dry goods at this port for the weekending March 1, 1883, and since January 1, and the same factn

THE SUN has advertising space to sell. From Its

compart form, an advertlsment in THE SUN 1« morereadily seen than in the blanket sheets, hence a fewlinos In its columns will serve to attract the widest

attention. A five line advertisement in 'i'llK SUN,costing only two dollars, reaches over half a million
