THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.Although there has been some recovery during the past

week, both in values and in the tone of the Wall Street mar-

kets, the feeling which prevails is far from settled or satis-

factory. The very fact that the railroad war can continue

80 long, threatening so great harm over so wide a field, in

a season when merchandise is moving so freely, is a dis-

turbing feature. Besides this, the variances and disagree-

ments between other prominent operators in the market

;

the peculiar condition of important properties such as Tele-

graph and Elevated Railroad stocks ; the railroad commis-

sion bill which goes into operation with the first of

January ; the interference of the Attorney-General of the

State in stock speculations; and the increasing frequency

of failures in commercial circles;—each of these has added

its portion towards preventing the return of that confidence

which so many have anticipated.

The truth is, th« influence of the present railroad war

reaches beyond the stocks directly affected, and really

beyond J,lê settlement which may be soon made. It

shows how largely under existing pooling arrangements

the market values of .all. stocks are at all times at the

mercy of jmy one specu^tive manager. It was supposed

•that Buqh marvelous activity in the movement of mer-

(liaudise &3 we haye this season, furnished a guaranty

against cutting rates. This belief can be no longer enter-

tained. In fact, it looks now as if one road by persist-

ently prolonging a dispute, could even in this year of plenty

throw the entire traffic arrangements, east and west, into

confusion; and the argument is, if this is possible

with tonnage so abundant, what may we not expect

any subsequent season of less activity. Pooling arrange-

ments seem necessary, or else there would be no uni-

formity in rates. But while the chances of disagreement

are so great not only through bad or specslative motives,

but also through the extension of systems by new con-

struction constantly in progress or by lease and consolida-

tion—rival roads thus encroaching upon one another's

territory—the present system of adjustment seems very

weak and faulty. There is certainly room and need for

some new form of agreement with a sufiScient forfeiture to

'

prevent one road thus destroying at will all the hopes of a

year. ^The other unfavorable features mentioned above would

not probably have any great weight in depressing the

market had not this rate war disturbed all calculation!

and disposed the public to take an adverse view of the

prospects. Still there is, as stated, an irritable feeling

among operators and a less profitable state of commercial

business, which do not encourage speculative movements,

and, for the moment at least, help to prevent the morepropitious circumstances from having their due influence.

The action, also, of the Attorney General in the MutualUnion matter is unfortunate and not reassuring. Had he

simply stated that there was, in his opinion, sufficient

grounds for asking leave of the court to bring the action

his course would not be so open to criticism. But whenhe decif'.os that the act in question is a " usurpation of

" power in direct hostility to the letter of the statute,"

and that "it would be a mere evasion to deny the

" application," he puts himself in a very false position

—

one that will make him appear much like a paid counsel

should the courts of higher resort decide that his view is

an incorrect one. Besides, the conclusion from his action

is that any company which misinterprets a statute—and

therefore, through a mistaken idea of the law, makes ^n

illegal issue of stock, however small or large—forfeits its

charter, which is in itself an absurd proposition, and

might in its consequences,, upon many other stock hold-

ings and stock properties, be" very disturbing and

disastrous if sustained.

But notwithstanding Wall Street has been unfavorably

influenced during the week by the rate war. and the <jtEer

events referred to, the railroad earnings tave kept up

remarkably well and afford very promising indications so far

as that feature goe8,ag to the future value of good properties.

B

THE CHRONICLE. (Vol. XXXV.

Hence, when on Monday it was understood that negotia-

tions had been opened for a reference of the disputed

points to arbitration between the belligerent roads in the

West, it was an easy matter to turn prices upwards while

the shorts were covering. In the evening, however, of

that day the announcement was made at the up-town

hotels, where brokers and speculators assemble for the pur-

pose of trading upon whatever fact qr gossip they can

gather, that Mr. Porter, President of the Chicago St. Paul

Minneapolis & Omaha, had positively refused to negotiate.

The reason given for the interruption in the nego^

tiations was the discovery of the fact that the Chicago Mil-

waukee & St. Paul had bought the Chippewa Valley &

Superior road, thus encroaching upon the territory

of the Omaha, and threatening competition with that

company in its efforts to secure a title to the North Wiscon

sin land grant, which embraces some of the most valuable

timber land in that State. It was alleged by Mr. Portet

that this was an act of treachery on the part of the St.

Paul managers, and that in consequence of it he declared

that he wouki continue the fight. Under this new aspect

of the contest, speculation was very unfavorably influenced

at the opening on Tuesday, but the decline was subse-

quently arrested, mainly by an unfounded report of the

resignation of Mr. Porter. When this rumor was denied,

the speculators for at advance selected two or three spe.

cialties and, by carrying them upward, succeeded in keep,

ing the market generally strong for the remainder of the

day. On Wednesday afternoon the news that $4,600,000

bonds embraced m the order for redemption issued on

Saturday had been presented for payment, had a favor,

able effect, giving promise of easier money, until the last

half hour of business, when there came a fractional de.

cline, claimed to be the result of the customary ante-holiday

realizations. The understanding at the close of Wednes-

day was that there would be a conference at Chicago on

Saturday, when further eSorts would be made to settle

the war. Friday repeated the story of the previous days

—a variable, unsettled market, with the close at the lowest

figures of the day.

Money has been comparatively easy this week, mainly

the result of the absence of manipulation, and it is proba-

ble that some of the funds which were withdrawn from

the street for speculative purposes have been returned this

week. The short interest in stocks will also account for

the decreased demand for money. The payments by the

Assistant Treasurer for bonds redeemed amounted to

$2,067,850 on Monday, but the redemptions were only

$270,500 on Tuesday. On Wednesday $4,600,000 bondsembraced in Saturday's order were presented for redemp-tion by a Brooklyn savings bank. The payment of in-

terest on the 4^ per cent bonds commenced on Friday.

This amounts to $2,812,500. Including the checks given

on Wednesday for bonds and interest, the payments bythe Sub-Treasury for the week foot up $9,263,871 27,

which calls for a large increase in the reserves of the

banks this week. The actual 'loss by the Treasury duringthis time, as nearly as we caif "itiake out from the figures

that have been furnished us, aggregates about three million

dollars. The following shows the interior movement.

Last week's bank statement was made up on rising

averages, and, considering this fact, and also the largedisbursements by the Treasury on Friday, the whole ofwhich will not appear in to-day's return, thus causing this I

week's statement to be likewise made on rising averages,

the following will indicate the character of the return.

The Bank of America paid out $450,000 gold on ac-

count of the associated banks during the week, andreceived nothing in return.

Foreign exchange was reduced on Monday and wasweak until Wednesday, when there was a recovery

under more active money at London and an easier

money market here. If any gold has already been sent

out from London, the shippers and consignees have not

reported it. That some will speedily come as an exchange

operation is confidently expected by leading bankers, whoregard Wednesday's advance in the rates for sterling as

merely temporary, and likely to have the effect

of bringing out a liberal supply of bills. Cotton

is moving freely, drafts continue to be made against

purchases of outgoing securities, and the demand from im-

porters is very light and will probably not be sufficrent to

absorb the ofierings. About the oniy thing which can

retard this movement of gold is a higher rate for moneyin London. Until Tuesday the rate in the open market

was less than 4 per cent, but Wednesday morning's cable

reported an advance to 4^ and the movement appeared to

have caused a temporary decline in consols. This fall in

the English funds was, however, followed by a recovery

at the close of the London market, and this may have

been induced by the advance in sterling here which for

the moment relieved apprehensions of a drain of gold.

The following, showing relative prices for leading securi-

ties in London and New York at the opening each day,

indicates the profit in cable transactions.

THE NEW YORK LAKE ERIE d: WESTERN.One cannot take up a report of the New York Lake

Erie & Western issued within recent years without being

impressed with the progress that the company is making,

and in this respect the present report is no exception.

The Erie has had such a remarkable career and was for

so many years afflicted with financial ills, which refused

to yield to repeated changes in management, that the mind

involuntarily associates it with the idea of a bankrupt con-

cern. Yet to entertain such a thought of the present

Eiie Company and its managers, is not only to make a

grievous mistake as to its real condition but to represent

that condition as the exact contrary of what it most

assuredly and truly is; for the company is not an insol-

vent body, but a concern standing on solid ground and

paying its own way.

For three years now it has earned the full interest

charge on its entire debt, and in two of these three years

has made a 6 per cent dividend upon its preferred stock,

that out of this year's earnings having been declared this

week, while carrying in each case a handsome surplus to

the credit of profit and loss account. The detailed report

just received confirms the figures of the abstract state-

ment used by us last week, but we may repeat that the

net surplus on the year's operations for three years past

stands as follows: In 1880, $1,790,621; in 1881, $1,887,

418; in 1882, $1,166,642. Thus the company is able to

show a surplus over all charges of every description

(excepting of course the dividend upon the preferred

stock, calling for $457,932), of more than 1^ million

dollars in a year when it was powerfully affected by a

great railroad war and an extraordinary deficiency in the

agricultural yield of the country. We stated last weekthat gross earnings showed a falling off from the previous

year of $739,831, but this does not represent fully the

effect of these two unfavorable influences. Turning to

individual items of traffic earnings we find that on

merchandise freight there is a decrease of $1,423,394, the

combined result of lower rates and a diminished

volume of business. This was offset by an increase of

$343,243 in passenger earnings—which on this, as on

other roads, continue to make gratifying gains—by an

increase of $85,946 in coal earnings, and by an increase

of $254,374 in miscellaneous other items, leaving the

net decrease $739,831, or total gross earnings of $19,.

975,774, against $20,715,605 in 1880-1.

The company managed to reduce expenses $168,136

—

freight expenses decreased $221,809, and passenger ex-

penses increased only $53,673, though the company car-

ried 640,037 more passengers, (traveling a distance of

24,647,093 miles), than in the previous year—and this left

net earnings only $571,695 below the year 1880-1, or

$6,887,680, against $7,459,375. The decrease in passen-

ger expenses is to be ascribed, in large measure, to the

greater number of passengers carried per train, which

averaged 63 in 1881-2, against 58 in 1880-1, but also,

no doubt, to its being handled with increasing economy.

A-^ compared with the preceding year, though the rate per

pai-scnger per mile has fallen from 2-016 cents to 1-947

cents, or 069 cent, such has been the reduction in ex-

penses that the average net amount realized per passengermile has actually risen -OSS cent, or from -644 cent to

.702 cent. Thus each passenger carried one mile nowbrings the company more than seven-tenths of a cent; in

1875-6 the profit was less than two and a-balf tenths of acent, notwithstanding that the gross earnings per passenger

were then one and a-half tenth larger.

We are a little surprised at the continued large gain

in the coal tonnage. The Erie has been developing its

coal traffic very extensively of late years, but the increase

last year was so heavy— 1^ million tons, moved a distance

of 142 million miles—that we were hardly prepared for afurther large increase in the present year. But the figures

show the heavy gain of 585,822 tons absolutely, and36,542.888 tons moved one mile. This coal traffic is of

growing importance to the company, and has become aleading factor in its present prosperity. It yielded in the

late fiscal year gross earnings but little less than five mil-

lion dollars—$4 939,373; in 1877-8 the revenue from the

same was only $2, 106,479. In the actual number of tons

moved the coal traffic now exceeds the entire merchandise

traffic—the totals being respectively 6,104,672 tons and5,790,566 tons—but as the coal is carried only short dis-

tances to market, either east or west, mileage and earnings

from the same are only half as great. Still, it is a fact

worthy of note, that the coal tonnage on the Erie has

become heavier than the merchandise.

The mileage of merchandise freight fell off during the

year 66^ million tons one mile, but the increase of 36^ mil-

lions in the coal mileage cuts down to 30 million tons the

loss in the total freight mileage. The decrease in the mer-

chandise mileage occurs in the face of a gain in the actual

number of tons handled. Knowing that the volume of

through traffic must have fallen off because of the deficient

crops, and seeing that the average number of miles that

each ton was hauled has fallen from 179 to 164, the con-

clusion would seem to be that the company has largely

augmented its local business, which is the most desira-

ble kind of gain to make. In this connection we would

remark that the average number of tons of freight to each

train has risen, to 228, from 218 in 1880-81 and 210 in

1879-80. The latter was already considered a heavy load,

but the present figure certainly looks exceptional. On the

Central the load in 1879-80 was 218 tons and in 1880-81

2 1 7 tons. Probably the Erie's traffic is more nearly bal-

anced in the two directions—that is, there is not so great

a''disparity between that carried east and that carried west,

diminishing the number of cars hauled empty one way.

The Erie could never have reached this present high

average except for the improvements that have been made

in track, guage, grades, &c., and the heavier engines

brought into service. This has also reduced the cost to it

of moving freight, and we find that during the late fiscal

year a further decrease was established in the expense per

mile of three thousandths of a cent, from 529 thousandths

in 1880-1 to 526 in 1881-2, though the former figure wa«

already below that of the Central for that year. The

reduction in expense, however, does not meet the decrease

in the earnings, which amounts to 37 thousandths of a

cent per ton per mile on coal and 67 thousandths on mer-

chandise, or 56 thousandths on all freight, leavi ng the

net earnings per ton per mile only 223 thousandths of a

cent against 276 thousandths ii. 1880-1, a decrease of over

19 per cent in one year. The falling off in the merchan-

dise earnings per ton mile is of course the result of the

rate war; and me sin-.il!nes3 of the net earnings on all

freight—less than nine-fortieths of a cent a ton a mile

—

shows on what a narrow margin of profit the trunk lines

""The company is still actively engaged in making im.

provements where necessary, and during the year lately

closed spent no less than $2,716,080 for this purpose.

But the need here is not what it formerly was, and, as the

report intimates, the development of the road's business

»nd connections is therefore receiving a greater share of

attention. The coal traffic having become so important,

extraordinary efforts are being made not only to retain

that already in the road's possession, but also to increase

the amount. The President furnishes interesting informa.

tion as to what has been done in this direction during the

past year. Arrangements were made to extend the Brad-

ford Branch, so as to malce available 36,000 acres of coal

lands which the company owns in Jefferson, Elk and Mc-

Xean counties in the State of Pennsylvania. The company

also concluded a contract with the Pennsyl-

Tania Railroad, by which the latter builds a

amall piece of road to connect this Bradford

branch with the Allegheny Valley road, and that, whencompleted, will give the Erie not only a line to its coal

lands, but all the way to the great manufacturing city of

Pittsburg, This should certainly prove a very valuable

connection. Then by a contract made the first of last

May, the Lehigh Valley, a heavy coal producer, agrees for

10 years to give the Erie all its traffic—which the Erie

formerly received only in part—for points west. An agree-

ment has also been entered into with the Pennsylvania

Coal Company, insuring to the Erie the entire production

of that company's collieries iu Eastern Pennsylvania,

whether bound east or west. Another of the year's

achievements was the purchase of the control of the Bloss-

burg Coal Company, by which the Erie secures 66 miles of

railroad and 28,000 acres of coal lands, producing, it is

sUted, 400,000 tons of coal annually. "With its position

thus greatly extended and strengthened on coal traffic,

with a prospective outlet to Pittsburg, with its ChicagoAtlantic road to Chicago (nearing completion), and&

with lines to Cincinnati and Indianapolis over the Cincin-nati Hamilton &, Dayton, the outlook for the Brie wouldcerUinlyaeem to be more cheering thap for a, long timepast.

GOVERNMENT AND THE TELEGRAPH^.Board of Trade and Tr&naportotion is the comprehe:

sive misnomer of an .organization which has just receivedfrom itB leading j»ei?ibef, and made public, a report in(avor of the purcljase qL all telegraph Unes by the Federal

Government. It has been stated in a Washington dis-

patch to one of our daily journals that this subject will b«favorably discussed in the coming report of the Postmaster-

General; however that may be, the scheme is one that

has frequently come up of late and will, we suppose, be

constantly revived in varying form so long as there is

any hope of its adoption. For among a certain class there

is a continual pressure to have the General Governmentnot only take up the transportation problem but go into

all sorts of things which, it is assumed, are proper andfeasible for such a union of exhaustless money, wisdom,

goodness, and power, as many people apparently in[iagine

" government" to be. Hence to point out, over and over,

the fallacies and risks in such schemes is a duty not to beavoided.

In assumption of the telegraph business, these begin

with the first step. If Government acquires the existing

lines, it must seize them or buy them. If it buys, it must buyat tiieir nominal value. Conceding that such purchase

would carry with it the almost indispensable patents

owned by the lines, this would involve paying 100 millions

or so for property which those who oppose the telegraphs

when they are anti-monopolists, assert could be duplicated

for say one-quarter of that amount. Hence this anti-

monopolist organization virtually makes the proposition,

that Government shall buy telegraphs for three or four times

what they cost to build and would cost to duplicate now.

Of course that means that the Government is to reward

and encourage stock watering. Some, however, to avoid

this inference propose that the Government take

the old telegraph lines at its own valuation and suppress

new organizations. Would not that policy be a trifle too

autocratic or communistic for America? Still others

suggest that the Government go into the telegraph busi-

ness, and build its own lines, supporting thent with

Treasury money and special privileges until they have

extinguished existing companies. Such a plan it is be-

lieved could be rushed through on the anti-monopoly wave,

results not being considered but left for development.

Passing, however, the question as to the mode of proce-

dure, let us suppose the Government in possession of a

telegraph system, with the old companies out of the wayby fair or foul means, and a law passed prohibiting all

private competition under severe penalties, such as nowexist against private mail carrying, for evidently evea

the Government could not afford to leave itself exposed

to renewed competition. Having then the telegraphs howwould it use them ? "Would it, for example, maintain the

inviolability of messages ? All the operators would be

of one political party, or at least it would be necessary

that the messages sent should be transmitted to the higher

officers, who would be a part of and in accord with the

general administration. Thus for political communica-

tions .the party in power would virtually control the

wires. It could decipher or detain its opponents' messages

so as to plot against or thwart their purposes, and another

power in addition to the new patronage the telegraph

bureau would afford, would be put into the hands

of the Government for perpetuating itself. Then

again in private business matters no one would feel as

safe with the secrets committed to the hands of these qfficiala-

Telegraphy is managed now for profit, and secrecy is tha

recommendation which increases business. It is .the

interest of the company that secures inviolability, and if

one fails to give it a rival will not, or if mone exists oxx^

will be organized, as the history of th|e Baltimpre & Qhro

9fi,ble enterprise proves. There is no Mc^ ^^fi^f wbenprivate companies have been suppressed and the. Gov-

ernment takes coatrol, How convenient id wiD, thea be

for a politician with influence, if engaged in an excited

breadstuffa speculation, to be next friend to an officer who

could give him the first inspection of the messages be-

tween New York and Chicago. But there will bo laws

against such treachery, it will be said. Yes, to be sure,

and so there are laws now against assessing for political

purposes Government employees, and yet it is done

openly; there are laws against using one's oflicial position

for self aggrandizement, and yet even judges trade on their

decisions; there are laws against stealing, and yet we hear

of Star Route trials. In the light of such experience who

would not prefer private enterprise and the self interest it

feeds upon, rather than official integrity, as a guaranty of

inviolability and efBciency ?

Then, again, how would the Government manage the

question of charges ? The idea of those who advocate the

change of system, is a uniform rate without regard to

distance or condition. It is so in England, why should

it not be- so here ? A station would be opened at every

Post Office, and a country town a thousand miles away

that sends but a few messages a month would be

rttted with the city that sends many hundreds or thous-

ands every hour. In other words the present plan of non-

uniform and profit-paying rates would be given up for

uniform and non-paying rates, the result of course being

another Government department with a deficit to take the

place of the deficit from which good management has at

last relieved the Post Office. And yet how little practical

advantage would the people derive. The telegraph is

really a commercial instrument, is very seldom of use to

the farming sections, and can never be of service to them

as a substitute for letter writing. To urge that the whole

theory on which the service has hitherto been conducted

shall be changed in obedience to a mere sentiment, and

that the whole commerce of the country shall be taxed for

the purpose of affording cheap telegraphic facilities to

classes having little or no use for them, is so clearly un.

wise as not to admit of examination.

And how unfavorable would be the effect of the change

on the development of the science of telegraphy. The

absolute freedom of the field stimulates now the inventive

genius of the country, and we see its results in the progress

being made. The man who invents a duplex or quad-

mplex transmitter, or something else which instantly multi-

plies the efficiency of wire and operator, knows that he

can sell it, Shrewd capitalists are readily found to exam-

ine and if approved assist in its introduction, for any of

them can use it in the establishment of a new system or

force its Ipurchase by companies in existence. A Gov-

ernment monopoly, however, leaves the market to but

one purchaser, and that one, a purchaser who is most diffi-

cult to reach unless the inventor can secure political

influence. Even with that, one knows the obstacles that

always stand in the way of obtaining the attention of a

Government official, for how Little interest he has in

spending extra time to first satisfy himself as to the prac-

ticability and efficiency of a novelty and then to bring

it to the attention of Congress and secure the neces-

sary appropriation. If the poor inventor is required to

J.ake the usual course for obtaining success in such an

endeavor, he will find, after he has divided up amonglobbyists and members and politicians, that there is

Tery little left to pay him for his expenditure of time and

money, and he will never waste his energies in that

direction again. Moreover, a Government which has

tho monopoly feels no spur to "get the best," because

it- is shielded from competition. It is a big, clumsy,

wasteful thing, which is hurt but not destroyed by its ownblunderiBg.

We are well aware that there are grievances at present andwe would be the last to igno-e them. On water as well

as on land consolidation has repeatedly extinguished com-petition, and we have with others experienced serious loss

from the ups and downs of cable rates and the arbitrary

changes in regulations by cable companies. Ever since

Mr. Pender has been the ruling spirit in London a mostilliberal policy has prevailed and no one regrets to-daj—if

current rumor is correct—that Mr. Gould has him in his

little trap. But all these and other charges against oar

telegraph companies are private grievances, only to M"redressed through an open field of competition, and sur*'^

to find a remedy in that way in process of time. To fly

to the Government for relief is flying into the arms of in-'

competency, for we challenge the mention of a singlef '

work it now does (not excepting mail carrying) so well as

to furnish any rational encouragement for giving it morework.

Finally, is it not well for us to think where we are 'tt!''-

stop in this process of transferring our material interest*'''

to Government control, and what kind of a Government it'

will leave ns with, if the many similar propositions nb#^'^

being pressed are adopted? This is a point we have often

enlarged ugon. Such a policy is only consistent with gov-

ernments of the old school, not with those of the new. But '

aside from that question, the telegraph assumption by the

Government is, as we have seen, in many ways objection-

able, with nothing to recommend it except grievances'

which would be simply aggravated by the change.

LAND SALES.

The negotiations which are in progress concerning a^

sale of a large parcel of Northern Pacific lands east of

the Missouri River, call attention to the great progress

making in that section of the country, in opening upterritory to cultivation and development. Every new era

in the country's growth finds some outlying district which

to the pioneer appears to possess special advantages; s»

the great Northwest is now the point of largest activity,

and new settlers are tending in that direction in aconstantly-increasing ratio and with marvellous effects upon

the "growing industries of the district.

Minnesota and Dakota in particular are the favored

spots at the moment, presenting in this respect a striking^

contrast to the neglect with which they were treated but

a few years ago. Dakota was then looked upon as a vast

region devoid of the essentials needful to successful agri-

culture—indeed it was claimed that the land would require

great toil to work it and then not repay cultivation

—

while Minnesota was so sparsely settled, and commanding

so little new life, that many of its railroad lines found but

inadequate traffic for their support and became financially

embarrassed. The Southern Minnesota, now one of the

Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul's lines, became insolvent

and went into the hands of receivers. The same happened

to the St. Paul & Duluth. At least two of the three com-

panies that were subsequently consolidated as the present

Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha were also bank-

rupt, and seemed to offer little hope of ever being rescued

from that condition. Then there was that worst case of

all—the St. Paul & Pacific first «nd second divisions, (now

the St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba), the money invested

in • which seemed irretrievably lost. How changed the

aspect of affairs there now ! All the roads mentioned are

doing very well, some of them exceedingly well, owing to

the immense amount of new lands placed under cultiva-

tion by immigration and settlement, and the stimulus this

has given to every branch of industry and trade in that

district.

«20 THE CHRONICLE. [Vol. XXX7.

In a general way, perhaps the most of us know that

great strides forward are being made in that section ;but

there are few probably even among those well informed who

appreciate fully the extent of the new areas thus opened

up. Some idea of the development going on is afiorded

by examining the sales of lands by the different railroad

lines; but unfortunately the information here is very mfta-

gre, only a few of the companies apparently being willing to

furnish intelligence on this point. Still, those we have suffico

to give an indication as to what at least the railroads are

doing in this direction. For the year ended June 30,

1881, the St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba company sold

only 97,863 acres of its lands, but in the late fiscal year—that

ended June 39, 1882—it sold no less that 203,143, realiz

ing therefrom over a million dollars—$1,108,312. During

the nine months of the calendar year to September 30 the

St Paul & Duluth Company received as net income from

sales of lands $208,514; during the whole of the calendar

year 1881 the sales amounted to only $81,798. Coming

now to the Northern Pacific, we find that during the four

months that have elapsed since the close of its fiscal year

(July, August, September and October) the company sold

175,772 acres of land on its Minnesota and Dakota divisions

—which is the section we are at present considering

—

against only 20, 120 acres in the corresponding four months

of 1881. The land was sold at $4 an acre.

But it is not till we reach the sales by the United States

Government, that we become fully cognizant of the great

amount of land that is being brought under cultivation in

the Northwest. In the case of railroads he have to deal

with individual pieces of land in particular sections, and

no aggregates by geographical divisions are possible. In

the case of Government lands we have the land separated

according to territorial boundaries, and thus the totals for

each State and Territory—which is so desirable—can be

given. Government lands, too, are a better guide than

railroad lands as showing the extent of the new areas being

entered upon, for so long as the former can be had at a

merely nominal sum, intending settlers will not purchase

the latter at $4@$6 an acre. That comparatively large

quantities of railroad lands are being taken at these figures,

despite the offerings by the Government, goes only to

show how desirable the land is found to be.

It was in the fiscal year 1877 8—about a twelvemonthbefore resumption of specie payments—that the movementtowards the occupation of new lands first began to exhibit

signs of an increase. Previous to tha t time the yearly

aggregates for the whole country ranged between three

and five million acres; in 1877-8 the total rose to 7

millions, in 1878-9 to 8^ millions, in 1879-80 to 9 millions,

in 1880-1 it fell to 8,379,000, and now has mounted to

OTer 12i^ millions in 1881-2, a gain on the previous yearof about 50 per cent. These figures cover lands disposedof for cash and under the Timber Culture and Homesteadlaws—in other words only lands entered for improvementor settlement. A statement went the rounds of the presssome weeks ago which embraced other items—such asswamp lands patented to the different States and alsolands certified to railroads, &c., &c.—and which was mis-leading in showing the quantity actually entered forsettlement and cultivation. An examination of the fig-

ures for the years 1879-80 and 1880-81 will make it

clear how unreliable such a comparison would be.In the former year the total disposals of lands bythe Government amounted to 14,792,372 acres, in thelatter year to 10,893,397 acres, a decrease of 3,898,975acres. Not having the details, one migjit be inclined tosuppose that here was a tremendous falling off in thedemand for pubUc lands. When, however, we look more

closely into the matter we find that the falling off in the

land really taken up is only about eight hundred thou-

sand, instead of three million eight hundred thousand,

and that the remaining three millions decrease in that

year is due to the fact that in 1879-80 3,757,889 acres

of swamp lands were approved to the States, while in

1880-1 only 569,001 acres were so approved. As these

swamp lands have merely changed hands, they play no

part in the total placed under cultivation and should not

be included in it. The same may be said of the lands

certified to railroads ; these, too, in most cases have only

changed hands. Recognizing that the usfifulness of the

statement depended upon separating these latter from

the rest, and feeling assured that the published com-

parisons were full of inaccuracies—some of them used

total disposals, and disposals for settlement and cultivation,

indiscriminatel_y—we made early application at the LandOffice for a correct tabulation, which we have recently,

through the kindness of the Commissioner, received. This

we present below. It includes, as said, only land disposed

of for cash and under the Timber-Culture and Homesteadlaws, and as it gives the details for each State and terri-

tory for five years past, should prove very valuable and

interesting. We may say that the increase in 1881-82

over the previous year, instead of being actually over 4|-

million acres, as the table correctly shows, would be less

than 3^ millions should we take total disposals, which is

another evidence that the latter do not show the true I'ela-

tive movement from year to year.

The above discloses the importance that the extremeNorthwest—or more accurately, Minnesota and Dakota

—

have assumed in the land grant entries. Of the total dis-

posals of 12J millions for the United States in the last

year, 4,355,000 acres, or more than one-third, goes to

Dakota, and Minnesota is the only other State or territory

that comes in for a million acres. During the last five years

there have been disposed of in Dakota no less than

12,192,842 acres, and in Minnesota 4,675,899 acres,

together pretty nearly 17 million acres. There is no other

section that can compare with this. Kansas and Nebraska,

having for the five years respectively 7,694,232 acres and

4,650,721 acreSjCome next,but Dakota alone has pretty nearly

as much as the two taken together. Four years ago Kansaswas way ahea(j of Dakota, but now it has only about a fifth as

much. Nebraska, too, has smaller totals than formerly.

The reason for Dakota and Minnesota's promi-

nence is probably not that the lands are thought moredesirable than those in other sections of the /West

Deobmbbr 2, U»A.\ THE CHRONICLE. 621

and Northwest—though without doubt they are

looked upon with great favor—but that there is in that

territory more Government land still loft untaken. In

Kansas and Nebraska certainly the quantity remaining has

been greatly diminished. In Iowa there is so little Govemment land left that the sales are scarcely more than

nominal; yet there are in that State, as well as in Kansas

and Nebraska, large sections of land that were given as a

subsidy to railroads and which are still held by them. In

Iowa, on this account, the Government sales give no idea

of the new areas brought under cultivation, but in the

other cases they constitute probably the great bulk of all

the new land entered by settlers.

In this connection we have to deplore the absence

of all statistics bearing on the amount of Governmentlands still remaining in each State and Territory. Aperson wishing to emigrate or assist others in emigrat-

ing to the West or Northwest would naturally want to

know where the public lands were located, and howmuch remained in this or that State; but, strange

aa it may seem, no figures can be obtained on this

point, and the Government appears to be no better off

than the individual. This is a grave defect which wetrust will be speedily remedied. There is certainly no

excuse for such an omission, and if the Commissioner has

not the clerical force necessary to prepare the statement, as

he claims, he should be given it. It is perhaps well to

remark, in case the absence of Texas in the above table

should not be understood, that there are no Governmentlands in that State.

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF NOVEMBER, 1882.

In November the money market became very stringent

in the latter part of the month, and borrowers on stocks

sometimes had to pay as high as 20 to 35 per cent for call

loans. The banks were below their 25 per cent limit,

and the declining stock market and necessary shifting of

collaterals caused an activity in money which aggravated

the ordinary closeness of a November market. Secretary

Folger offered to redeem on presentation, without rebate

of interest, the bonds embraced in outstanding calls to

the amount of $5,000,000 per week, and finally he offered

to redeem $10,000,000 bonds with interest to Feb. 28, not

embraced in any of the calls. During the last five days

of the month some $9,000,000 bonds were redeemedunder these various offers, and the supply of loanable

funds Wn8 largely increased, relaxing the rales for money.

The business in investment securities was quite moderate,

but in speculative stocks there was great depression in prices,

culminating on the 2oth of the month, whtn lower figures

were reached on many stocks than had been made in one or

two years before. There was a heavy bear influence in the

market, and the decline was partly owing to this; but, ex-

cept for the stringency in money and the cutting of rates

among tbe railroads of the Northwest, it would have been

impossible to effect so large a decline by purely speculative

hammering. The railroad earnings were remarkably largeand the prospect for future months was excellent ; but in theabsence of a strong support from large operators this wasnot sufficient to keep prices steady. The depression in thesteel industries and the shutting down of certain steel rail

manufactories was also made much of as a cause forgloomy feeling in tne market ; but the decrease in thedemand for steel rails was only incidental to the decreasein projected railroads and the smaller contracts for steel

rails put out for the year 1883. Large orders were placedwith some of the mills at $40 per ton, a price exceedinglyfavorable for the railroads. After the relaxation in moneyon the 25ih, and with some prospects of an adjustment ofthe railroad war, the market recovered materially.

Foreign exchange ruled at low figures during Novem-ber, and there was a moderate importation of foreign gold.

IFrom our own correspondent.!

London, Saturday, November 18, 1882.

The supply of mercantile paper continues very limited, and,

although there has beea a settlement on the Stock Exchangeduring the week, the money market generally has presented avery quiet appearance, and the rates of discount have had adownward tendency. The oiHoial miaimam remains, however,

at 5 per cent, but in the open market the quotation for the

best three months' bank bills does not exceed 3% to 3^ per

cent, while the rate for short loans, after being about Z}^ to 4per cent, is now 3 per cent. This week's Bank return is of amore satisfactory character, the proportion "of reserve to lia-

bilities having risen to 3S% per cent from 37M per cent last

week. There has been some slight demand for bar gold andsovereigns—the former for Germany—but coin has been return-

ing from provincial circulation, and the result is that the sup-

ply of bullion held by the Bank has slightly increased, but

only to the extent of £50,745.

The total supply of gold held by the Bank now amounts to

£20,307,957, which corresponds with £30,681,019 last year; while

the total reserve is £9,848,947, against £10,445,449 at this date in

1881. The position of the Bank is not, therefore, quite equal

to that which existed twelve months ago, but the rate is the

same, and there is a larger discrepancy between the oiiicial andopen market quotations. The liabilities of the Bank are, how-ever, much less; the total of public deposits (the Governmentaccount) being only £2,545,824, against £3,122,601, and of other

deposits, £22,593,159, against £23,323,220 in 1881. The positioa

of the money market is evidently one of some embarrassment,

and is likely to remain in that condition for some time to come.

It is not regarded as probable that any special demands will be

made upon us this year, but the American and GrermaiX ex—

There has been a small demand for gold for export to Ger-many, and some sovereigns have been taken out of the Bank for

Portugal and Egypt; but the position of the gold market hasnot greatly altered. Gold coin has been returning from the

provinces in considerable amounts. The silver market has beenunsettled, owing to an expectation that the price of India Coun-cil bills will have to be reduced. Mexican dollars have beendull. The following prices of bullion are from Messrs. Pixley &Abell's circular

The weather has become quite wintry, and snow has fallen in

most parts of the country. The "northern lights" have been

Tery distinctly visible throughout these islands, and even onthe Continent, and a severe winter is in many quarters pre-

dicted. The wheat trade has in consequence become firmer in

tone, but an increased visible supply in the United States andlarge stocks in this country induces millers to operate with

great caution, and only to supply actual wants. Holders,

therefore, find it difficult, if not impossible, to obtain higherpiJices. Agricultural work is still backward, but farmers havebeen able to make better progress, and may possibly beable to recover arrears if the present frosty weather shouldcontinue. Indian corn has realized as much as 41s. 3d. perquarter.

The following return shows the imports of wheat into theUnited Kingdom during the first eleven weeks of the season, com-pared with the same period in previous seasons ; the quanti-ties of wheat and flour placed upon the British markets in theame period ; the average price of English wheat for theseason

; the visible supply of wheat in the United States, andthe quantity of wheat afloat to the United Kingdom.

The hop crop in this year has been an almost complete fail-

are, and prices are very high, the qaotation for the best sort*

being as much as X23 to £39 per cwt. The brewers are. there-

fore, at their wits' end to find sabstitntea, and " Mincing htae"is being searched for them. A correspondent writes as follows:Owing to the partial failure of this season'! English hops, together

with a l!irge domauil to supply the American market, values liave ad-vanced t» such an extent ihut substltatea are eagerty sought nftar !the Mincing Lane Market, and drugs which can, on account of theirbitter qualities, be used in the manufacture of beer, have 'joen laspeculative demand to such an extent that In some cases the value*have advanced 30i) to 400 per cent. It has generally been supposedthat beer could only bo m;i(le "bitter" through the medium of the hop,plant; but this Innocent delusion must be given up. the laws of supplyand demand having taught us that there are other plaiiti not familiarto Kent or Surrey which can be used for the same purpose, (.'olomboroot, well known for its tonic qualities, h.'i.s advanced in value from22s., at whiob it was obtainable a month since, to 9">s. per cwt.; camo-miles from 408. to 120s.; (piassia from £5 to £10 i>or ton; Guinea grains,which have always been m'lre or les"* in us«i for brewiu:; nurpo.<)es, from328. to 60s. per cwt.; and the most 8uri>rising of all, cberetta. a drugwhich a month since was ulmoat unsalable at 3d. per pound, has act-ually been sold at 3s. to 3s. 6d. per pound.

Richmond & Danville—Norlh Carolina Midland.-Apresareport tr<im Raleigh, N. C, November 24, said: "The annualmeeting of tbe stockholders of the Nurth Carolina MidlandRailroad Company was held at Winston yesterday. The meet-ing considered and accepted the mDdified' contract with the Vir-gitia Mi Hand Riilroad Company for the lease of their road tothat Company. The term of the lease is 99 years, and the rental

is $120,000 per year, to begin when the road is completed fromDanville, Va., to Mooresville, Iredell County. The North Caro-lina Midland Company propose to imae $2,000,000 of mortgagebonds to complete the road, and the rental is expected to paythe interest on this sum. The payment of the principal of tbeoobonds at the end of 20 years is guaranteed by the VirginiaCompany. The contract also binds the lefsees to build the rf>adto Mooresville in three years. The Richmond & Danville C<jm-pany own a controlling interest in the Virginia Midland, andcontrol by, lease the road from Charlotte to Hlatesville. Moores-ville is on this road, between Htatesville and Charlotte, and thecompletion of tbe road from Danville to MooreNviJIe will givethe Richmnnd & Danvilie another line through N<irth Canilina.The road i^f ni)w running from Danville to Leakstjolet in Rock-ingham County, . .(

Leaves a net profit of $76,839

—which is less than that of the preceding year by $31,397.'

Among the causes which led to this decrease of net profits wasthe burning of the bridge over the James River in March last,

which for a period' of more than two months greatly interferedwith the throtigh traffic of the road and added to its expensesthat of a transfer by wagons through Richmond. In addition^to this, the expenses of transportation for the year just closed -

were augmented by about $10,000, paid on account of an accident

:

which occurred during the year preceding. On July 1, 1882,.$23,490 of the 6 per cent funded debt of the company becamedue and was extended for twenty years at 5 per cent.

Richmond & Petersburg.—The report of President F. R.Scott for the year ended September 30 showed gross receipts

of $174,378; expenses, $117,881 ; net receipts, $.'56,596; interest ondebt, $16,9.54; net revenue, $39,642. The usual semi-annualdividend of 3 per cent was paid on the first of January last;

$25,000 of the old 8 per cent bonds, maturing on the first ofApril last, were paid oflf. No dividend was paid on the first ofJuly last, and the earnings were used in repairing and roofingthe James River bridge. This itructure was burned the 26th oflast March, and the present trestle biidge, nearly three-fourthsof a mile long, was ready for use two months after. Credit is

given to Mr. J. R. Kenly, the Superintendent, formerly of theUnion Railroad, Baltimore, for the prompt manner in which thework was done. The direct loss to the company from the fire

'

was about $60,000. It is proposed to cross the James by aniri'n bridge, a part to be built next year and the remainder in

1884.

NKW YORK, FRIDAY, DEC. 1. 1883-3 P. M.

The Honey Hiirket and Financial Sitnation.—Had the

stock depressioti of last week continued during this, the day-

called Thanksgiving would have been considered out of place

in the stock brokers' calendar, and its title, for this time at

least, would have ,been held a misnomer. Fortunately the

decline in stocks reached a climax on Saturday last, when the

lowest prices were touched in the morning and there was sub-

sequently a sharp re-action. We do not claim that our report

issued on that day had the effect of steadying the market, butwe may claim that when the more rational views of the finan-

cial situation therein expressed came to be adopted by dealers

in stocks, it was a natural result that the market should turn,

and that valuable stocks should quickly recover a part of their

decline.

Whatever the truth may be in the case, it is hardly avoid-

able that some of the officers of those companies engaged in

the railroad war should be charged with being short of their

own stocks. The possibilities of the thing are too great; theopportunity of making a quick turn by precipitating a cut in

rates is too enticing for human integrity always to resist it.

And then it is rarely that the public can ascertain justwho is the real party at fault in the controversy. The spec-tacle of a railroad officer or director heavily short of the stockof his own company is not an agreeable one to contemplate.He is then in a position where aU his personal, interests urgehim to decry and put down, by one means or another, thevalue of that very property of which he is the avowedtrustee and protector. But in a railroad quarrel it is possiblefor any one line to make a cut in rates which the others mustfollow, and hence the mere fact of being in such a fight doesnot imply a responsibility for it on the part of all those en-gaged.

The money market relaxed greatly after Secretary Folgerissued his order of Nov. 25th offering to redeem at par, withinterest to Feb. 28th, 1883, $10,000,000m per cent bonds ofany numbers, outside of those already called for payment.From Saturday to Wednesday afternoon about |9, 000, 000

^?û' ^^^''^'^ ^°<1 uncalled, were presented for payment, ofwhich $4,600,000 m one lot (uncalled) were presented by aBrooklyn savings bank. Inconsequence of the greater abund-wice of money, call loans on stocks were not higher than 8 to10 per cent on Saturday and Monday, and since then have ruledat 5(g6 per cent. On Government bonds money is lower and8(a4per cent is the latest quotation. Prime commercial paperis 6@7 per cent. *^ ^

United States Bonds.—The demand for government bondshas been active, particularly to-day, and all issues have comein for a share of the buying on the part of moneyed corpora-tions and investors. The call for bonds issued by SecretaryFolger November 35 was as follows :

Treasury Department, Not. 25, 1888.AsKietani Treasurer United States, New Tork :

In lieu of a call for liouds of the 5 per cent funded loan of 1881, con-tinued at 3»s per cent, by big 1)681 numbers, at a notice of three months,as required l)y law, and then in anticipation of payment, without rebateof interest, the Secretary of the Treasury will, on the 28th of Februarynext, receive and pay $10,000,000 of those bonds wliich have not beencalled for payment, without specifying numbers and without regardthereto, if the holders present them tor payment, and lie will, any timefrom now to that date, pay that .amount of those bonds, without rebateof interest, if they are presented at your otlice.

Charles J. Folger, Secretary.

State and Bailroad Bonds.—The public sales of Statebonds have been mainly in Tennessees, of which the sixes soldto-day at 42J^ and the compromise bonds at 50J^.Railroad bonds have sold rather more freely this week, and

prices were generally stronger, in sympathy with the improve-ment in stocks.

The closing prices at the N. Y. Board have been as follows:

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—At the date of ourlast writing, stocks were near their lowest point, and after afurther downward move on Saturday morning the marketturned. The relaxation in the money market and the reportof a probable settlement of the railroad war had much to dowith the recovery at that time, and since then the fluctuationshave been less violent, although prices are naturally sensitive,

and to-day there was a sharp falling off in the last hour ofbusiness at the Board.The railroad managers have gone to Chicago to confer aboirt-'

a settlement of the Northwestern war, but what the outcome

'

will be is probably more than they can all tell themselves atthe present moment, since a desire on the part of one singleparty to have the war kept up may be sufficient to prevent animmediate settlement. But other stocks should be cut loosafrom these few that are keeping up an internecine strife thatdamages only their own interests. The tmnk line prospectsseem to be particularly good just now, as they are getting full

rates, and tlie tonnage must be large. The Erie report doesnot make a bad showing for such a year as 1881-83, and th»company has been actively engaged in new developmentswhich are expected to tell on its future business. The CanadaSouthern lease or alliance with Michigan Central has not yetbeen perfected, but their interchange of traffic very closely is

practically a settled matter. The coal roads have had a verygood year, and now both Reading and Jersey Central ar»agitating the subject of getting out of tlie receivers'

hands. Mr. Gowen has just arrived from London, but onReading affairs he is as silent as an oyster. On theSouthwestern roads the current earnings are immense, and if

the public only knew what they meant; if tliey had only a clear

and full annual report of Missouri Pacific and her several chil-

dren, for the year 1881 to compare with, it is probable that thestocks would reflect more sliai-ply the large earnings. Denver& Rio Grande was one of the stocks that rebounded most de-cidedly from the extreme depression; but if there was anythingfurther of importance than the covering of a large short inter-

est, it has not yet been made public.

At the close to-day weakness was the prevailing tone.

ANNUAL REPORTS.

New York Lake Erie & Western.

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

The report of this company for the fiscal year ending Sept.

30 has been issued more promptly than usual. The tables of

traffic, income, expenditures, &c., are compiled below, fromwhich it appears that the total net income was $7,668,335,

the expense.s for interest, rentals and all charges were

$6,501,693, and the net surplus of the year was $1,166,612, to

which surplus should be added the amounts realized from other

sources, as follows : From sale of iJ600,000 second consolidated

mortgage bonds, .?603,816 ; from sale of $2,500,000 reorganiza-

tion llrst-lien mortgage bond.'*, $2,466,395 ; from balance re-

maining from fund advanced t(> construct New York Lake Erie

& Western Goal & Railroad and other improTements, $6^1.129 ;

from estate of the Erie Railway Company, sale of the GrandOpera House property, $715,000 ; sale of 2.766 shares of Cleve-

land Columbus Cincinnati & Indianapolis Railway Companystock, $231,762; sale of premise.s, 331 West Twenty-third Street,

•$20,000, making, with the above surplus of $1,166,642, a total of

$5,827,745 in cash resources over and above the annualcharges. The report says :

" This amount has been applied largely to improvements of

the road and property, the acquisition of necessary equipmentand real estate, the purchase of the capital stock of the Bloss-

targ Coal Company, and stock of other companies in which it

was advisable for this company to have a controlling interest."

President Jewett says in his report :" The earnings and si-

nenses of the year, compared with those of 1881, show adecrease in gross earnings of $739,831 ; a decrease in workingexpenses of $168,136, and a decrease in net earnings from traffic

of $571,695. The working expenses have been 65}^ percent of the

earnings, being an increase of l)i per cent over those of the

Srevious year. This increase is accounted for chiefly by the re-

action of rates."" The merchandise freight carried was 5,790,566 tons, an in-

crease over the previous year of 222,593 tons ; coal, 6,104,672

tons, an increase over the previous year of 585,822 tons, makincf

the total increase in tonnage 808,415 tons, and showing an«ieess of coal over the merchandise tonnage of 314,106 tons.

The earnings per ton per mile on merchandise traffic were only

722-lOOOc., a decrease from the previous year of 67-lOOOc., andfrom even the low rates of 1879 of 23-lOOOc. Had we received

from this class of tonnage the rate (789-lOOOc.) of the

previous year, we would have earned an additional sum thereon

of $895,988. * * The earnings per ton per mile on coal were

.808-lOOOc., a decrease from the previous year of 37-lopOc.; but,

notwithstanding this, the earnings increased $85,945, because

of an increased movement of over 36,000,000 ton miles. Hadwe received from this class of tonnage the rate (84,5-lOOOc.) of

the previous year, we would have earned an additional sumthereon of $224,220."

The funded debt of the company Sept. 30, 1881, was$67,165,665. The plan and agreement for the reorganization of

the Erie Railway Company,which was made part of the articles of

incorporation of the N. Y. L. E & W. Co., provided for second

«onsolidated mortgage bonds to the extent of $25,000,000. Ofthis amount $24,400,000 were issued to bondholders of the Erie

Railway Company who assented to such plan and agreementof reorganization, leaving $600,000 of said bonds in the treasury

of the company for sale or other disposition. During the year

these bonds have been sold, and the proceeds devoted to neces-

sary improvements. The plan and agreement of reorganization,

as well as the second consolidated mortgage, provided for the

creation and disposition of reorganization first lien bonds to the

amount of $2,500,000, for certain purposes therein named, andthese bonds have been disposed of during the year.

The total amount of the funded debt on Sept. 30, 1882, is

.$70,267,137. „ ^The old third mortgage 7 per cent bonds will mature March

1, 1883. amounting to $4,852,000. Arrangements have been

made for the extension of these bonds, from the date of their

maturity for a term of forty years, at the rate of 4)^ per cent

per annum, which will make an annual saving in the interest

account of $121,300.Mr. Jewett comments at much length upon the policy of the

company in acquiring new connections. He remarks that, hav-ing made great progress in the improvement of the road, its

equipment and terminal facilities, the board turned its atten-

tion to the development of local interests and properties alongits line, as well as to the securing by roads under its control

independent access to the great trade centres of the West.The Bradford Branch Extension is finished, and a satisfactory

co.ntract I»» been enteT«d ini o with the Pennsylvania RailroadCompany forthe construction «. 'f a road connecting Johnsonbarg,the end of the- Bradford BranciH Extension, with Palls Creek, ontheir Allegbaiay Valley (low gra de) road, thns opening the coallands of this oompaoy in the tfoantiea of Jefferson, Elk andMcKean.The Lehigh Valley Railroad c mnecta with the New York

Lake Erie & WeBtem road at Wa» erly, 167 miles east of Buf-falo. On May 1^1882, a eootroct was made, to eontinae tenvears and thereafter until oneyear'* notice is given of a deaire

pi lints west thereof, its entire traffic, ecal and miscellaneous.The Erie & Wyoming VaMev Itailroa<.' is t<>b« comtructed, l>y

compai '7 will secure, ea-it and west, the entire j-iroduct ef thecoliierf* ^ of the Penn-sylvania Coal Company, amy by wZriiih it

can pyol 'ably secure the transportation of a larfef> amoont ofother cro* I from the same region, provided the Delaware- &i&idson C» nal Company will unite in a wmilar contr.iet.

The EBw* <burg Coal Company was representi-d by £»ra.pita)of

$V,000,00#! but subsequent to its organization, in addition to-

ite>own pjop erty, it had acquired la»r<jely of the pniperty ofother coal ani 1 railroad companies. This property of tne com-panyis sitwat sd in the State of Penneylvaaia, about fifty miles'south' of ths .

New York lake Erie A( Western Railroid, con-nected' thersvri th at Elmira. by its own roady and at Coraing bythirty miles of its own roadt in connei;tion with fifteen' miles-over vriiich itrtr. ickage rights. After ct^nsiderable negotiation,the stock, of this compiiny was pnrch»-.ed for $2,000,000. Ofthis amount ^,Si 15,000 was paid in ca.sh aad the Grand Oper*House propertiy in as put in a/t a valuatioai of $715,000. Bytbispurchase- tney tak e the owneiahip and coitrol of about sixty-six

TBe-aomberofmiles the control of which is thus acquired is abocb three hun-dred and fifty. An. agreement was iiiadti wiih th» holders oftwo millions of its stock (that being a majority cfr the whole),

by which the representative of this csmpany t)ec3«e the pur-chaser of the stock,, the parties from whom the purchase wasmade agreeing to- reaeive beneflcial certificates th-jrefor to th»amount" of $1,500^000, and this company obligating it.self to

indefinitely. The board- regard this a very valuable acquisition.

They anticipate no- loss from the guaraaty, but gâli advan-tages to be derived from the power thattsecured.

In the general profitaîd loss account of the N. Y. Lake Erie&Western, the interest upon the income bonds and She dividend

upon the preferred stock for the year 1881 are eiiiMvd in thaaccounts of the year 1882, although they were dae and payabla

on account of the earniags-of the year 18S1 ( but not having beea

declared or ordered paid until after the-olose of th» fiscal year..

they were necesaarily carried into the aoeoQuts-of the presaat

year. The board authorizes now the payment of th»-interest

on the income bonds and a dividend of six per cent on the pre-

ferred stock of the company for the year 1881-82.

Deobmbbr ^, 1883.] THE CHRONICLK 637

Boxlon & Albiiny.

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

In the Cheosiclb of Vov 4, on pare SIB, was (<iv«n the rft-

port of waruingH aad initoin-i aitoonnt for the lar« fltcal year.The pamphlet report, is now published anf*! additional informa-tion 18 derived therefrom. The total snrp.lus resnliing from theoperations of the year, after providing for dividends and flx-'d

charges, amounting to $44,3S2, has be' »u placed to the credit

of pntit and loss. The savin.; in f,xpenses for the year is

$87,421, making the net revenue $2,.')0 9 more than in 1H8I. Thereal saving in operating eipensr-s pro per is $65,S2S greater thanis shown in the report, but this am' ixxat was swallowed up byinereast-d taies.

"The I0S.S in freight tonnage is w holly in the eastward move-ment. The tons carried froai B'>st nn to Albany and points wt-st

of the Hiid.son Kiver increased fr" m l.'57,(W5 in 1881 to 223.620 in

1882 ; and the whole number of t ,,ns carrie I west, inc uding thelocal traffic, from 895,215 to l,()7'i,234. It is gratifying to find

that the tradi between Boston and the West in general mer-chandise han increased so large ,ly."

An analysis of the earniuirB shows a substantial increase in

all branches of the pa-'sen; ;er service. Receipts from local

trafflc have increa-sed $12.'),5'26 ; fr -m paasenners t'> and fromot her roads, !f220,589 ; from mails and expresses, .•}>75.!S74 -a gainin all departments of the passenger traffic, over last year, of$421,690. The receipts fo ,r transportation of freight have de.creased $344,773, not as m nch as the revenue from passengershas increased. The inccine from local freight has increased

f74,261, while the tonnage has fallen off 13,275. Throughfreight shows a loss bot n in tonnage and rnceiprs. The tonsmoved are 170,644 les",, and the r.-venue $400,603 less. Themovement of freight t> ^ and from other roads, except those westof Albany, shows a g,ain of 5.325 tons, but a falling off of$18,431 in money.

" The loss on tonn «ge is owing to the failure of the crops andthe high prices of g.rain in the markets of the West, which pre-vented a free move ment of cereals for export. The loss in rateon through freig) it arises from quite another cause. For thegreater part of t'ae year, freight both to and from the West wasearried at prices far less than the cost of transportation. Abitter quarrel h/etween the managers of the great trunk lines,

as to the diffe rence in rates which should be charged for trans-portation to Ptud from the Alantic ports and the West, was theoccasion for utter demoralization of rates on all classes of trafflc;

and the most reckle.--8 competition ensued." * » •" The yâr is specially marked by the retirement of the State

from part„icipation in th- manageinentof the company's affairs.The Governor, in his annual address to the L-'gislature of 1882,laid do-wn the principle that the State ought to be separatedfrom all railway partnerships. Following his recommendationan act was pas-sed authorizing the exchange of the stock of thiscompany held by the State for five per cent bonds, payabletwenty years from date, at the rate of $160 for each shareowned by the Commonwealth. The act provided, further, that,after the assignment of the State's stock to the company, theCommonwealth should no longer have any representation in theboard of directors."The tables of trafflc and income were published in the Chron-

icle of Nov. 4, page 515 The following table shows the gen-eral balance at close of year:

Though the terms of the whole matter have beenpractically a«rerd upon, and there is a general wi liiiirneHs toclose the transaction, one single troublesome point, interfereswith its legality.

MutualUnion Telegraph 'ompany.—Judge Barrett heardarguments upon the motion in beualf of Jay Gould and theWestern Union Telegraph Company to continue the preliminaryinjunction restraining John G. Moore, George William Ballon,

Geo. F. Baker, and others, the Mutual Union Telegraph Companyand the Central Trust Company, from carrying out an agree-

ment for the pooling of a majority of Mutual Union stock, thepool to be under the management of Metsrs. Baker, Ballon andPott*r for five years. In support of the motion to continne thepreliminary injunction granted by Judge Van Brunt, the plain-

tiffs' lawyers claim that the defendants who were parties to thecontract ot Marish 27, 1882, knew that Jay Gould had theWestern Union Telegraph Company for an a-ssociate, and thatthat company obtained through him and the agreement an in- ;

terest in the Mctual Union Company to the extent of three-

tenths of its capital stock. For the defendants an affidavit

made by John (i. Moore was read, in which it was averred that

Gould told Moore during their stock transactions that he wasnot acting for the Western Union Telegraph Company. Mr.Moore averts that Gonld, having violated the agreement byselling his 30,000 shares to the Western Union in June last, the

other parties considered themselves absolved from allegiance

to it, and have since withdrawn their stock. Judge Barrett re-

served his deiision.

—The application made bv William H. Cameron, a stock-

holder, and Jay Gould, a director and stockholder, of theMutual Union 'telegraph Company, for leave to bring a suit

in the name of the people to vacate the charter of that com-)any, has been granted by Attorney General Rssell, at Albany._n the application complaint is made that the company hasviolated the statutory law of the State by the unlawful increase

of its capital stock, so that it has no valid stock of any issue,

and also by the division of the capital stock between the

directors without any adequate or substantial consideration.

The Attorney General says:

"TheMiitiml Union Tolegrapli Comp.iny was organized Oet. 2, 1880,by a certlllcate filed hy live oliareholders and aseociatcp, stating thocoi>it:il st.ick at $1)00,000, divided into 6,000 shares of $100 each, andprovidinsfurtlicr that, by vote of the Trustees from tame to time, thecajiltal BtocK nilKht be increased liy the issue of 6,000 shares of $100eacli. l{y ceriilieates made on tlie IStli of September, 1881. and theIdth day of I'ebruary, 1882, the directors, who are Ibe same as thoorisiuul associates with tô exeeplions, certify that the capital stocUhas been increased to $10,000,000, divided into 100.000 shares of $100each. This increase was justified by no law of this State, was in directdefiance of the statute allowii:^ the formation of telegraph compauies,which only allows an increase of the capital stock where no provisionis made in the certificate of incorporation for a future increase. » » •

It does not appear that any easli was ever paid for any shares, but thatnearlv tho whole of the $10,000,000 of stock, with nearly the whole ofan issue of $.1,000,000 of bouds was paid to John G. Moore & Co. forthe constructiou of the lino. From what I can infer, the whole plantcost some $4,750,000. 'ihe stock was evidently regarded as of no valueexcept to control the company, for a share of tho stock was offered foreach boud of the same amount taken, and the shares were soaratelyofl'ered at $5 each." » • • '"J hat the action can be maintainedseems obvious. It wouid be mere evasion to deny tho application onthe f<round that it could not. Therefore, if the court approves and thepeople are properly indemnified, the action will be tjronght. and if aJudKmeut \>« directed vacatin.i; the charter the property will lie sold ortransferred to a rccousti ncted cdmpany or a successor constructed as avalid organization and the proceeds divided amon^ the creditors andother beueflciaries, so that the loss will be only of a violated charter."

The westher has become quite wintry. Inlaod narigation at

the North and West has been obstructed to some extent by ice,

mnd saffioient snow has fallen to impede railroad transportation.

The money market has become much easier, but is still fever-

ishly- unsettled. The intervention of a close holiday has hadits nsuel effect upon general trade, aud business has been quiet.

The "ysorners" in cotton, Indian corn and lard, for November' delivery, did not cause serious disturbance of the values of

those staples, and these influences are now at an end. TheFtideiral Congress meats on Monday, when it is expected that

• measures for the reduction of taxation will be proposed.

•'A. good speculation in lard ^has taken place, and manipula-• ticn here and at Chicago has forced prices up until the close,

^^hen a break took place. A selling movement was introduced

^which, in a measure, was stimulated by large arrivals of hogsAt the West. The export demands for all provinions are nota-

bly small. Pork on the spot to-day sold at $19 for new mess;

December options quoted 4*19 50; January $19 75. Bacon was4[uoted at 10c. for long clear. Lard to-day opened better, but«oon fell off and closed weak; Western sold on the spot at

H'50c.; refined to the Continent on the spot ll'75c.; all the

Rio coffee has been dull on the spot at a decline to 7!4c. forfair; options have been very active, and to-day alone 27,000.bags were sold, though at a marked decline, owing partly tothe reduction of the export duty from Brazil, partly to a de-cline in both Rio and London, and partly to the large receipts4it the former market; December (No. 1) last sold at 5-45c., Jan-uary and February at 5-40c., March at 5-45c., April at 5-50c.,May at 5-70c. and June at 5-85c., while fair sold at 7-20c. forJanuary, 7'35c. for February and 7'40c. for March; mild has*)een dull and more or less depressed, owing to the slowness of.trade and the large supply here. Rice has been moderatelyactive at unchanged prices. New Orleans molasses has beenselling at 40@59c. to a fair extent in jobbing lots, while foreignhas been dull. Fruits and spices have been quiet and withoutmarked change. Raw sugar has been dull and nominal at 7%!^7 3-16c. for fair; refined has been quiet at some decline; er«whedhas sold at 9^c., granulated at 8 13-16@9c. and standard "A"tLi 8'7-16@856e. Tlie trade in sugar here is being much injuredby an uonsaally active competition from New Orleans for theMississippi Kiver business, in which that city is greatly assistedby th.e lower freight rates granted to refiners there, who alsosell at New York prices.

Keotaeky tobacco has been quiet and prices are nominallyinnchaaged.

Naval stores have been very quiet; the Southern marketshave declined, and the absence of export interest exerts an un-favorable influence on prices. Spirits turpentine is now quotedat 50^@51c. a.sked, with sales on the wharf at 50c. Commonto good strained rosins wholly nominal at $1 75@1 85. Refinedpetroleum was firm early in the week, but declined to-day to8c. for 110 and 8>^c. for 70 test. Crude certificates opened to-day at $1 13, dropped to $1 09%, and closed at $1 10%.

The speculation in cotton for future delivery has been fairly

active the past week, but at variable prices, and the tone some

what unsettled. The opening on Saturday lasu was dealer, on

a fresh movement toward a "comer" on November contracts,

which carried up deliveries for the month to 10'58c. and

strengthened the whole market. But on Monday a slight fur-

ther advance was followed by depression, and on Tuesday

November declined to 10-41c., with the whole market lower.

On Wednesday there was a further and material decline, De-

cember going nearly down to the lowest figure of the season.

There has been some buying on Southern orders on each de-

cline, "following the market down," as the phrase is; neverthe-

less the close on Wednesday was at the lowest figures of the

day. Yesterday was a close holiday, and the Exchange was

close(L To-day there was a variable market, closing slightly

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

again on Wednesday. The demand has been small, whether

for export or home consumption. In fact, we have no stock

to attract buyers. To-day the market was quiet and un-

changed.

The total sales for forward -aelivery for the week are 429,900

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

4,237 bales, inclndiug 1,930 for export, 2,307 for coasumptiou,

— for speculation and in transit. Of the above, 150 bales

were to arrive. The following are the official quotations and•ales for ?ach day of the oast week:

Kbobiptb from thb PL&BTATiona.—^The following table to

prepared for the purpose of indicating the actnal movement eaehweek from the plantations Receipts at the oatp>rts are som^times misleading, as they are made ap more largely one yearthan another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reachtherefore, a safer conclasion through a comparative statementlike the following. In reply to frequent inquiries we will addthat these figures, of coarse, do not include overland receipta otSouthern consumption; they are simply a statement 01 theweekly movement from the plantations of that part of the eiopwhich finally reaches the market throogh the oat-ports.

Sept.

The above statement shows— 1. That the total receipts from theplrvntations since Sept«mber 1, in 1882 were 2,701,853 balee; in

1881 were 3,632,873 bales; in 1880 were 2,786,930 bales.

2. That, although the receipts at the out-porta the past weekwere 255,097 bales, the actual movement from plantations waa271,622 bales, the balance going to increa'w the stocks atthe interior towns. Last year the receipta from the planta-tions for the same week were 349,196 bales and for 1880 theywere 221,582 bales.

Amount of Cotton in sioht Dbcbmbbr 1.—In the table belowwe give the receipts from plancatioas in another form, andadd to them the net overland movement to November 1, andalso the takingt by Sjuthera spiuners to the same date, so aa togive substantially the amoant of cotton now in sight.

Ihdia CorroN Movesbnt from all Ports.—We have duringthe past year been endeavoring to rearrange our India serviceso as to make our reports more detailed and at the same timemore accurate. Hitherto we have found it impossible to keepout of our figures, as cabled to us for the ports other thanBombay, cargoes which proved only to be shipments from oneIndia port to another. The plan we have now adopted, as wehave reason to believe, will relieve ns from the danger of thisinaccuracy and keep the totals correct. We first give theBombay statement for the week and year, bringing the figuresdown to November 30.

BREADSTUFFS.FRIDAY, P. M„ December 1, 1882.

Flour has advaiKjed for the lower grades, for which a fair de-mand has prevailed, while the supply, though ample, has beenby no means burdensome. It is noticeable that the proportionof the higher grades in the reeeipw is much larger than hasbeen the ease for some years, this fact being due to improve-ments in the methods of manufacture. The scarcity of oceanfreight room and the high rates current have interfered withiport trade. The higher grades have been plentiful, dull and

rather weak. To- day the market was dull for all grades.Wheat has been rather quiet as a rule, the export trade

bein«r quite moderate most of the time, owing to the continuedscarcity of ocean freight room, as well, as some further ad-vance in the rates ; while the transactions in options havelikewise been limited to a moderate aggregate. There arecomparatively few grain vessels in port, and so scarce is roomto the regular ocean steamers that outside steamers are being

. tvM ^, ^^^^- *^'*"* * '""^''«' °f Srnin vessels to arriveat Philadelphia and Baltimore have already been chartered,but few or none have been thus engaged at this port. Prices8h<>wedsome advance at onetime, largely owing to a rise inChicago, where the receipts have been moderate, but latterlythe course of this market has been downward, notwithstand-

daring the last fewof the week they

receipts at Chicago

ing that the foreign advices have been favorable. The de-

pression is, at least in part, attributable to the slowness of the

export trade. To-day the market was irregular, opening ^(9^c lower and afterward recovering the decline, and advancingi^'aic; No. 2 red ôld at $1 08^@1 09% for December; $1 11

@l 13 for January J $1 13M@1 li% for February and |1 15®1 U% for May.Indian corn has been qaiet on the spot ow'ng to scarcity.

Prices have again advanced aud sales of No. 2 mixed have taken

place at .fl 10, at which most of the November contracts weresettled, though a protest in one case will call for 2 decision bythe Bjard of Managers of the Produce Exohauge as to whetherthis is to be regarded as a fictitious price or not. The later

deliveries have been deoUniag

days though in the for part

were quite Arm. The large

latterly, however, have rendered the shorts muchless anxious to cover for December, and this month, as well as

the 1883 deliveries, have accordingly declined %c. to Ic. TheChicago market has also been dull and weak of late. Therehas been a light trade in new corn here, owing partly to theirregularity in the quality and partly to the fact that, the supplyhas been only mi>derate, though there has really been compara-tively little inquiry for it. To day the market was irregular,cash being lower, owing to the breaking of the corner, and op-tioas, though at one time l@2c. higher, losing considerable ofthe advance later on, the fluctuations being due to variations inthe Chicago market. The speculative sales of the week havereached a very fair aggregate. No. 2 mixed sold to-day at 81%@81J6c. for old for December, 72c. for new do and 66%a. forJanuary, though later January was quoted at 65M@66c., withFebruary offered at 64c. and 63^c. bid, and May obtainable at62%e., vith G2}4e. bid. New com is quoted on the 8pot,[email protected] yellow and white, as to quality.Rye lias been quiet and about steady. Barley has sold fairly

at somewhat easier prices. Oats have been rather quiet andsomewtiat depressed, though to-day the market was firmer;No. 2 mixed sold at 43@43i^c. for December and 44^@44Mo.for January,

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.Prioat. p. M.. December 1, 1882.

The movement in dry goods has been comparatively light thepait week, operations having been iaterrapted to some extent

br the recurrence of a holiday. The demand at flnit bands waschiefly of a hand-to-month character, package bnyi-ra bavjcgshown very little disposition to anticipate future wants, eavp inthe case of a very few spring fabrics for which some fair order*were placed for future delivery. The jobbing trade has beeofairly satisfactory for the time of year, the growing activity inthe retail branches having been reflected in a constant demandfor small reassortments by personal selection and through themedium of orders by mail and telegraph. The failure of asmall jobbing house in this city caused some surprise in thetrade, but no uneasiness, and the flnancial condition of dry goodsmerchants generally is considered sonnd.DoMBSTio CoTTos Goow.—The exports of dnmeNflcs for the

week were 2,916 packages, inclnding 1,358 to Oreat Britain, 9S0to China, 146 to Argentine Republic, 129 to C-ntral America.117 to Venezuela, 86 to United States of Colombia, &c. Therewas very little improvement in the demand for plain and coloredcottons at flrat hands, and selections by jobbers were chii-flyconfined to such moderate lots as are recjuired for immediatedistribution. Some fair-sized parcels of tickings were, however,disposed of by means of lower prices, and a few large lots ofbrown and colored cottons were taken by investors and mana>facturers. Prices are eastier along the whole line, but quota*tions are nominally unchanged by agents, save on a few makesof tickings, which are marked down from ê. to leper yard.Print cloths have been fairly active, and prices are firm at aslight advance, viz.: 3 II-I60. for 64i(i4s and 3 5-16c. for 56x60s.Prints were mostly quiet with agents, bnt a fair busineas wanreported by leading jobbers.DoMRsno WooLBS GooDs.—There was a steady movement in

clothing woolens on account of former orders, bnt new businessin this connection was comparatively light. Heavy cassimereswere sought for in small lots for the renewal of broken assort-ments, audsoiue additional orders were placed for spring cassi-meres and worsteds; bnt transactions were strictly moderate inthe aggregate. Cloakings ruled quiet, but there was a steadycall for sackings. Kentucky jeans, doetrkinn and saticets wereslow of sale, and prices are, as a rule, unsatisfactory to manu-facturers. For flannels there was a steady reassorting demandat both first and second hands, and a moderate business wasdone ia blankets. Soft wool dress fabrics continue to movesteadily on account of back orders, but worsted dress goodswere quiet, aside from such spring materials as nun's veilings,lace buntings. Sic, for which some liberal orders were placed forfuture delivery. Carpets were generally quiet, and there waaonly a moderate call for shawls, skirts. Knit underwear andhosiery.FossiON Dby Goods have continued very qniet with importers

as usual between seasons, but a pretty good business was doneby jobbers in fancy holiday goods, &c. Plushes are selling low,but desirable colored velvets are steady and In light supply.Silks and staple dress goods are mostly held at unchangedprices, but fancy dress goods are irregular.

ending Nov. 30, 1882, and since January 1, and the same faots

for the corresponding periods of 1881, are as follows:
