THE ECUNOMISI'S AND BANKERS 1.^ CUUNCIL.

One of the numerous cheering indications of the

approaching recovery of business is the tone of increasing

intelligent confidence with which almost all classes of

business men seem to look forward to the future. Anoteworthy illustration is offered by the proceedings of

the bank convention this week at Philadelphia. Thecalm, statesmanlike views of the situation which wereexpounded by the various speakers have conferred uponit a value and influence which far transcend expectation.

It will remind some of our older readers of that financial

convention which preceded the resumption of specie

payments in 1839. On the 10th of May, 1837, all the

banks of this city suspended specie payments. Theother banks of the State having done the same, the Legis-

lature at Albany, May 16, 1837, passed an act suspending

for one year those provisions of the law which authorized

proceedings against suspended banks, with a view to

forfeit their charters. This act, which was very

similar in its operation to the decreo which stopped'

the panic of this summer m Portugal, had the

effect of temporarily checking the force of the

revulsion in this country in 1837. Such an act,

however, could not be passed in New York at present, a»

it would be contrary to the State Constitution of 1846.

On the 11th of April, 1838, 153 bank delegates from

eighteen States met in convention, in the City of NewYork, for the purpose of considering the subject of

specie payments. This convention resolved " That it be

recommended to all the banks of the several States to

resume specie payments on the first Monday of January,

1839, without precluding au earlier resumption on the

part of such banks as may find it necessary or deem it

proper." The records of the convention show that this

resolution was carried by a large majority, fourteen

States voting for it and two only voting against it.

Alrao.-t immediately after the close of this celebrated

bank convention, the Legislature of this State passed

the act of 18th April, 1838, which established the banking

system of the State of New York ou a basis which wasin the main adopted for the foundation of our present

national banking system, as created by Congress in

1803 and 1864.

There is, indeed, a great similarity between this con-

vention of 1837 and the present convention of 1876.

Both were summoned by the spontaneous desire for

the advantages and the strength of union, springing upamong the banks all over the country ; both took

decided action in favor of specie resumption ; and both

aimed, during a period of financial and industrial

depression, to restore solid confidence and well grounded

hope to the country. We trust that the records of our late

Philadelphia bank convention will not only be preserved

in a complete and permanent form, but that they will

be made easily accessible to that growing multitude

of intelligent men among us who are so ardently

studying economic and financial questions. Our space

prevents the attempt in this place to do more than give

a very brief account of the business of the meeting.

This consisted of three parts: First, the passing of reso-

lutions which were in favor of specie payments and of

union among the banks ; secondly, the discussion of

various topics of common interest ; and, thirdly, the

reading of papers prepared by men eminent in

economic and banking knowledge. The chief papers

presented were those of Mr. McCulloch, Mr. Coe,

and Mr. Hayes. The first gave a calm, historical,

and statesmanlike sketch of our banking system as

it is. The second took up the equally important ques-

tion of what our banking system ought to be and mayby our efforts become, especially in its relations to the

340 THE CHRONICI.K [October 7, 1876.

monetary circnlation of the country. Both these ad-

dresses were listened to with deep attention by one of

the most intelligent and appreciative assemblies ever

convened to deliberate upon our financial and banking

situation. The last day of the session was taken up with

a timely and suggestive paper by Mr. Hayes, showing

how the banks are related to panics, and especially to

the most recent of all our panics, that of 1873. Someother papers, which the time did not permit to be pub-

licly read, were prepared by members of the convention

on the subjects of taxation, of reserves, of the paymentof interest on deposits, as well as on the silver question

in its relation to resumption and to the banks. Aspower was given to print these with the other papers, the

volume containing the report of this bank convention

will constitute a valuable repertoire of financial informa-

tion, which should be in the ofiice of every bank in the

United States, and in the hands of all our young bank-

ers and merchants.

As the papers read have received and are to receive

such extensive publicity, it is as unnecessary for us to

attempt to abridge them, as it is impossible to do them

justice in our limited space. We cannot, however,

refrain from extracting the following remarks of Mr.

McCuUoch on the prospects of business and the demandfor our securities abroad :

1 believe that it is resumption that is needed to lift the countryout of the " slough of despond" into which it has been suuk forthe three last years. We have thought so much upon the subjectthat we have become morbid. We have spent so much time incountinp; the cost that we have greatly exaggerated it. Therehas been too much figuriog about resumption. Figures are wellenough in their places, but they sometimes do harm in impedingaction when action only is required. When some of Gen. Lee'sofficers were figuring upon the probability of their being able,

with the local advantages they possessed, to meet, with 75,000men, the Federal officers that were marching against them, heremarked, " Well, gentlemen, if you go to ciphering we shallbe whippi-d every day in the week." What is needed in our caseIB less ciphering and more confidence in our ability and resources.

« * « * «

A country that to the amazement of the world commenced thepayment of her debt within six months from the close of the warwhich she had waged for four years, with an unparalleled expeuditure of lite and money, and which, in the ten years immedi-ately following that war, has reduced her debt nearly a thousandmillions of dollars, and done so to a large extent by anticipatingthe maturity of her bonds, cinnot plead poverty as an excuse for

permitting less than $400,000,000 of her promises, payable ondemand, to be dishonored and depreciated. If the legal-tendernotes are not redeemed at an early day, it will not be because theGovernment is unable to pay them, but because tlie people will

not authorize it. During the suspension of tho Bank of Eng-land there was no diminution of the national debt of GreatBritain, and resumption took place just as soon as the wastedenergies of the country were partially restored. Even the fail-

ure in the first attempt to resume sliowed how important re-

anmption was considered by an intelligent Government. And I

would here remark that it wat> not until after it had taken placethat Great Britain fairly entered upon that career of prosperitywhich has caused hev to bo foremost among the nations in wealthand power.Tne present is in many respects a favorable time for resump-

tion. Some years ago there might have been ground lor appre-'hension that there would bo a drain of specie from the UnitedStates by a return of our securities from Europe as a consequenceof the restoration of the specie standard; but there is now andthere need lie in the future no danger in this direction. There is

in the leading commercial nations of Europe a plethora of specieand adearthof solvent securities. There is a constantly increasingdemand for our Uovernment bonds, and a fair demand for thebondi of our great rail way companies. ThedemaniJ for the latter

would be largely increased if investors were gatisfiei of their sol-

vency. There is, I say again, no danger of a return of our secu-rities as a consequence of resumption. On the contra^y, such anevidence, as this would be, of our good faith and ability wouldeause them to be held more firmly. European investors are morecareful than they used to be. The immense losses they haverecently sustained by loann to nations thai: could only pay so longas they were able to borrow, and to companies whose claim to

confidence was found to exist only in the tilowiug terms of their

piospecluses, have made them wary. There is to-day a betterdemand for our solvent securities than there ever has been, andtJjis demanl is likely to increase rather than to diminish. Thef»ct, then, that our .'ecurities are largely held on the other side

«1 the Atlantic should not be regarded as an obstacle to the res-

toration of the true measure of value. The plentifuluess of

specie in Europe, the foreign demand fur our securities, the veryfavorable condition of our export and import trade, the lowprices

of property of all descriptions, so low as to render a furtherdecline quite impossible, the relief from political excitementsoon to be experienced by the election of a new President, thehopeful spirit which is beginning to manifest itself in regard tothe future—all these indicate that the time is at hand for clearingthe way of all obstructions and letting the country move ontoward its former prosperity.

This information as to the growing popularity of oursecurities among the investors and capitalists of Europefully sustains the predictions which we have ventured of

late to make on the subject, and it must be rememberedthat Mr. McCulloch's conclusions on this point are

founded on a more extensive acquaintance with the

facts needful to a correct judgment than is possessed,

perhaps, by any other banker or statesman equally well

known, here and in Europe. This fact was referred to

by Mr. Gladstone at a late meeting of the Political

Economy Club in London, where he pronounced a high

culogium upon our ex-Secretary of the Treasury. In

the following terse and sugnfestive words Mr. McCul-loch has summed up for his countrymen his whole views

on the financial situation :" In returning to the United

States after, with two intervals, an absence of some six

years, I perceive everywhere evidences of the misfor-

tunes which have befallen the country, but I see also

indications of returning prosperity. New life begins to

show itself in our cotton and woolen factories—fires

begin to glow again in our long-slumbering iron foun

dries—trade is improving in our commercial cities, and

hopefulness is succeeding despondency. All that is nowneeded is judicious revenue laws—a return to specie

—

the exercise of the industry which is natural to our

people, the practice of economy, and, may I not add,

reform in our civil service ?"

TIIE CLEARING KODSE ANNUAL REPORT.

One of the best tests of the state of business in any

country is the movement of its banking machinery indi-

cated by its Clearing House returns. Hence the reports

weekly published of such statistics have been examined

of late in our principal cities with much more interest

than usual. Last Tuesday the annual meeting was

held of the New York Clearing House, and the state-

ment was given of the transactions for the year ending

Sept. 3, 1876. Little other business was done, on account

of the absence of several of the prominent membeis at

the Bank Convention at Philadelphia. From the

statistics of the year's work of the Clearing House wefind that the total sum of the transactions was $22,892,-

316,275, of which $19,874,815,360 were currency clear-

ings, while the gold clearings were $1,722,458,886. This

statement compares as follows with that of previous

Several practical deductions will at once suggest them-

selves on the inspection of tliese figures. First of all it

appears that the aggregate of the currency exchanges is

but 19,874 millions, against 23,042 millions last year,

20,850 millions for 1874, and '33,972 millions for 1873.

It loight appear to a casual observer that there are do

symptoms here of the revival of business. Unfortu-

nately our Clearing House does not attempt to separate

the Stock Exchange clearings from those of the ordinary

business. If this separation could be made, and if we

October 7, 1876.] THE CHRONICLE/ 841

could see what proportion of these annual aggregates

represent general mercantile business, and what propor-

tion come from Stock Exchange operations, we should

be better able to ascertain the precise movements of

trade without looking far beyond the figures themselves.

An ingenious effort has been made in the London Clear-

ing House to improve its statistical methods so that it

should be able to give to the business community this

important information. Our Clearing House claims to

be in many respects ahead of that of London. But in

regard to this particular statistical improvement we must

certainly acknowledge that the London Clearing House

surpasses our own. It is, however, well known

that much of the Stock Exchange business in London

does not go through the Clearing House of the banks,

while it constitutes a large part of the daily transactions

of the New York Clearing House, the other business of

which is said to average about 40 millions of dollars a day.

The next point of interest in the report is the evidence

it furnishes of the prosperity of the association. It wasestablished twenty-three years ago, and its aggregate

transactions amount to the prodigious sum of $461,092,-

647,795 50. All this business has been done without the

loss or error of a single dollar. A more striking example

CDuld not be given of the perfection to which modernfinance has brought its clearing operations. The institu-

tion consists now of 59 banks, 14 of which are State

banks, having an aggregate capital of $12,385,200

.

while 45 banks are under the national law and have a

capital of $66,150,000. The aggregate capital of the 59

banks in the association is therefore $78,535,200, against

$80,435,200 a year ago. Besides these banks, there are

16 others which clear through various members of the

association; thus the whole of the banks in the city of

New York are 75. Of these the 28 State banks have a

capital of $15,322,200, while the 47 national banks have

a total capital of $66,500,000. The following table gives

the statistics of the currency exchanges and balances for

As we have mentioned the London Clearing House, it

may be interesting to compare the aggregate transac-

tions of that institution with those of the New YorkClearing IIou.se. Several years ago we directed atten-

tion to the fact that the aggregate business of New Yorkwhich passes through the Clearing House reached a

larger sum than that reported at London. Of course it

will be folly to suppose, as some people have been in-

clined to do, that the business of New York approaches

in magnitude that of London. Such an inference is not

at all justified by the figures of the Clearing Housereports of the two cities. These reports do, however,

indicate the fact, which it is very interesting and useful

to know, that the [methods of clearing are different in

the two cities, and that a large mass of important

transactions which pass through our Clearing House are

wholly excluded from that of London. Equally unwise

would it be for us to conclude that we ought to adopt the

London methods. Probably ours are better for us, be-

cause they are the outgrowth of our own financial andcommercial necessities, acting through a long series of

years. Wo have not space, however, to consider this

question in detail. It will come up hereafter, when wecome to discuss the statistical methods already referred

to. The transactions of the Clearing House at Londonwere not reported to the public before 1868. Since

that time the total business compares as follows •with'

that of the Clearing House of this city :

the number of Clearing Houses in this country ds

increasing. In the Chroniclk for 1st January, 1876, a

table was given of sixteen Clearing Houses, containing

a membership of 334 banks. During the eight montjis

which have since elapsed, three new Clearing Houseshave been reported. That of San Francisco has fif-

teen banks, that of Lowell seven banks, and that of

Louisville twenty banks. Hence there are at present in

this country nineteen Clearing Houses, with a member-bership of 376 banks. As union is now so vitally

important to every part of our great banking system, wewould venture to suggest that some important interests

of the country would be promoted if our New YojkClearing House could, by some appropriate methods,

lend a moral support to, or at least open and keep up: a

correspondence with, the other institutions of like char-

acter at home and abroad.

notes redeemed and surrendered during the two months

from August 1 to October 1 was $6, 79],481; during the

same time there were issued of new notes $1,405,610;

eo that the net decrease, during August and September,

of bank notes outstanding was So,335,871, against

$3,259,721 durinir July, and $3,668,294 during June.

If we compare all the items for October 1 with those

for August 1, the changes during the two months

appear to be as below :

This shows a decrease in the active cun-ency during

August and September of $3,000,943, against a decrease

in July of $1,813,794, and of $2,847,538 for the month

of June. The total extent of the decrease may be stated

as follows:

Net decrease in bank notes from Jan. 14, 1875, to October 1, 1876... $23,607,896

Greenbacks on deposit with Treasurer to retire notes, Oct. 1, 1876. . 21.860,943

Decrease in greenbacks since January, 1873 13,503,200

Total decrease to October 1, 1876 $64,974,099

Hence the present outstanding circulation may be

indicated by the following statement:

Greenback issues Jannwy, 1875—total 8382,000,000

Bank notes outstanding same date 351.861,450

Total $73.3,861,450

Decrease to October 1, 1876 64.974,099

Total available for circulation, October 1, 1876 $668,887,351

The above shows that our available circulation was,

October 1, $668,887,351. This statement does not indi.

cate, of course, what influence the permission granted of

using the four and a halfj per cent bonds as a basis for

bank circulation has had upon the movement of retiring

and issuing bank notes. Other returns, however, show

that over one million dollars of new bank circula-

tion was put out the last four days of September.

This fact affords ground for supposing that the newprivilege is exerting some considerable influence in

checking the bank-note contraction, which has been

progressing so rapidly since January, 1875. The Comp-troller also furnishes the following statement, showing,

by States, the amount of national bank circulation issued,

and the amount of legal tender notes deposited in the

XJ. S. Treasury to redeem national bank circulation, from

June ao, 1874, to October 1, 1876:

F1NA!(CI.U REVIEW OF SEPTEMBER.

The month of September -was generally favorable for business

interests, and the incipient improvement in mercantile circles

noticed in Aujfust was continued and somewhat increased the

past month. There has been no time since the crisis of 1873

when there were so general, and apparently so well founded

reports of good business in the various departments of trade

—

and this not inprospectu. as has too frequently been the case, but

in actual transactions at the present time. No wonderful buoy-

ancy or speculative activity is anticipated, nor would anything

under existing circumstances be Isas desirable ; but a healthy

movement and steady and remunerative prices are looked for witJi

a good deal of confidence.

The money market scarcely reflected the greater activity in

trade circles, and call loans on collateral remained at 1^(33 per

cent., while mercantile paper hardly advanced more than i per

cent above the low prices of the Summer. •

Under the successful operations of the syndicate offering the

$40,000,000 of U. S. 4i per cent, bonds, the price of the older

issues—particularly the earlier five-twenties—declined considera-

bly, and a large part of the transactions of the month consisted

in the changing of bonds by national banks whose five-twenties

of 18C5, deposited at Wasliingtou, were called in and had to be

replaced by other bonds. Some of the bonds deposited in this

way, as well as for new circulation by banks, were of the new 4^

per cents, but large amounts were also of the old bonds, both

fives and the later issues of five-twenties.

Railroad stocks and bonds were much depressed, except the

prime old bonds, which held their own well. There were no

new developments in railroad matters, although it was apparent

that a heavy "bear" influence was exerted in the market. Thecoal-carrying roads exhibited no further weakness in their affairs.

the coal auction sales going better than in August.

The following table will show the opening, highest, lowest

and closing prices of railway and miscellaneous stocks at the

Foreign exchange continued weak under a small demand for

bills and the prospect of a present increase in commercial

exchange, to arise from cotton shipmenti'. It may also benoticed in this connection that the total exports of ihe country

during late months have much exceeded the total imports, andthis condition of trade should not be without its effect onexchange.

LFrom oar own correspondent.1

London, Saturday, Sept. 23, 1876.

A week of brilliant autumn weather has juat elapsed, and the

farmers in the north of England and in Scotland have been able

to make more rapid pro}tres3 with the harvestina; of their crops.

The condition in which the crops are being stacked in the North is,

however, by no means so satisfactory as has been the case in the

Midland and Southern counties ; but a good quality of produce is,

nevertheless, being secured. The English farmers are now send-

ing moderate supplies of new wheat to market; not that theyare

tempted by the price, but because to sell has, with many of them,

become a matter of necessity. Last year was an unfortunate one

in the wheat-growing counties, and, couaequently, many of the

more needy farmers have been compelled to part with their

produce in order to meet the heavy claims due at Michealmas next.

The increase in the deliveries of wheat over those of lest season

has, up to this time, been considerable, viz,: about 45,000 quar-

ters in the 150 principal markets; or say 180,000 quarters for the

whole Kingdom. Taking into consideration the fact that this

year's wheat is of very superior quality, it is evident that there

is a great improvement over last year's poor crop; but the average

price does not exceed 46s. Cd. per qr., against 483. lOd., per quarter

last year. The lowest average last season was for the week en ding

February 19, wheu it was only 438. 8d. per quarter. The advance

established, therefore, does not exceed 43. per quarter, which

fails to represent even the improvement in quality and condition.

But it must be added that that small advance is from the lowest point

of last season, and unquestionably the Eoglish farmers must be

Badly disappointed when they are compelled to sell a superior

quality of wheat at au' average price of 458. 6d. pec quarter, when

sola'.eas July last the average price was 483. lOd. per quarter.

It is evident, therefore, that millers are under no apprehensions

about future supplies. Our importations this month are less than

one-half of what they were in September last year; and, although

there has been an increase in the deliveres of home-grown

produce, the actual supply of fresh wheat and flour placed upon

the British markets this season is only 5,373,600 cwt., against

7,445,000 cwt. in 1875, showing, therefore, a deficiency of

2,172,000 cwt. It is, of coarse, necessary to bear in mind that in

September last year our importations were upon an unusually

large scale, and the trade was much depressed in consequence.

The comparison must not, therefore, be regarded as a fair one;

but, at the same time, it is clear that, owing to the small production

October 7, 1876.] THE CHKUNICIJ5. 845

of wheat in this country and to the large conBumption in progress,

we shall require a very larsre supply of foreign produce, and

millers agree that if we obtained all and, indeed, more than we

wanted last season at a low price, there are no reasons for assert-

ing that the present, though low, quotation for wlieat will not

attract fully as much as we require. The average for last season

was 46?, Id. per quarter; for the first three weeks of the present

season it was AGs. 6d. per quarter, showing a slight improvement.

The supplies of wheat in Kr^^oary are large, and this fact partly

compeneates for the diminished Importation ; but there seems to

be no reason for believing that there will, at any time, be any

deficiency in the supply. At all events, millers are very sanguine

•bout the matter, and hence are unwilling to buy much in excess

of their actual wants.

Mr. James Caird has written bis annual letter to the Times

giving his opinions respecting tiie English wheat crop. He says

that it was Impassible to have an abundant wheat crop, as a good

harvest never succeeds a bad seed time. He confirms the oft-

repeated, and, therefore, well-known remark that the present

crop is below an average, but is of superior quality. Mr. Caird

adds that " there will be a deficiency of about 13,000,000quartera.

The annual consumption may be taken at 23.000,000 quarters, or

following the mode of statement adopted by the Customs Returns,

100,000,000 cwts. For the past harvest year that has been morethan met by the home crop, and a foreign import of 63,000,000

cwts. Of this the United States and Canada gave us fully one-

half, Russia about one-seventh, Germany one-eleventh, and other

countries the remainder. This is now the fourth year in succes-

sion in which America has been oar main dependence. If that

should fail in any material degree, it would be impossible at occeto fill up the gap elsewhere. So late as 1872 our Americanimports fell to but one third of the present rate, and the average

of the past ten years is 30 per cent below that of the last three.

The sudden rise in the United States and Canadian imports in

1874 was undoubtedly stimulated by four successive yearsofhigh

prices in this country: more capital was put into the business,

chiefly in California and Oregon, and increasing breadths weresown with wheat. It takes time for lower prices to stay the cur-

rent thus set in motion, but those of the last two years have not

been remunerative to the Western grower, and the supply begins

to abate. The first eight months of the present year show a

decline ol one-sixth compared with the corresponding Americanimports of 1874 ; and the total foreign supply of the first fort-

night of the harvest year, now beginning, is one-half leas thanthat of the preceding year, and on about the same scale as that

of 1873, when the price was over 60s. a quarter. The crop in

California and Oregon is reported to be good, and prepirations

ar6 being made for a large shipment of wbeat. But present

prices would leave the grower little more than 3s. a bushel, at

which there can be no profit, and no inducement to press it for-

ward. In the wheat region of the Upper Mississippi and in

Canada the yield is much below that of last year, while in the

Elastern and Southern States it is reported to be good. ThatAmerica can still spare us a large supply there can be little doubt,

but higher prices than those of the last two years will be neededto bring it in the same abundance. In none of the Europeanwheat-exporting countries has there been an average crop, andfrom none of them can we expect an increase on the past year's

supply. British India has largely increased her export, which in

the past eight months has reached nearly 5 per cent of our wholeforeign supply. Turkey and Egypt, having no longer any credit,

are obliged to raise money by sending us more corn, but thoughconsiderable shipments may reach us from Egypt during autumnand winter, the Turkish supply in the present state of that

country must be small and uncertain. France, which exerts the

most important influence on British prices of wheat, reports her

crop as slightly above an average, the very fine quality being

expected to compensate the deficiency in quantity. But an aver-

age crop in France now barely suffices for her own consumption.

If It keeps her out of the foreign market as a competitor with us.

it is all we can hope for ; and this is doubtful, lor France has hada poor harvest of barley and rye, and of green vegetables andpotatoes, which there form so large a proportion of the foodsupply, and the want of which must necessarily cause an Increased

consumption of wheat."

During the week ending September 16, the deliveries of home-grown wbeat in the 150 principal markets of England and Walesamounted to 61,053 quarters, against 49,791 qnarters last year.

In the whole Kingdom, it is estimated that they were 244,200quarters, against 199,200 quarters in 1875. Since harvest, thedeliveries In the 150 principal markets have amounted to 152,777

quarters, against 117,771 quarters, and in the whole Kingdom to

611,200 quarters, against 471,100 quarters last year. The follow-

ing quantities of wbeat and flour were placed upon the British

markets during the first three weeks of the season

Tbe money market presents no new features. There is a super-

abundance of unemployed capital, and the rates of discount are

very easy at about } per cent for the best three months' bills.

The position of the Bank of England continues to improve, tho

proportion of reserve to liabilities being C3'll per ceiit, against

62 80 per cent last year. Tbe supply of bullion amoanlstoaamuch as £35,017,529, against £27,584,033 ; while the reserve of

notes and coin is £22,246,069, against £14,788,809 last year.

There is but little speculative trade in progress, and no disposition

to introduce new loans or new companies to public notice; conse-

quently there are no indications of any improvement in the con-

dition of the money market. The autumn trade is reported as

being exceedingly quiet, there being but little disposition shownto operate in excess of actual wants, while there is also an almost

entire absence of speculation. The quotations for money are nowas follows

Business in the ^tock markets has been quiet durii;g the week,

tlie dealings in most classes of securities having been to a very

moderate extent. The Turkish terms of peace caused at one

period an uneasy feeling to prevail, but now that an armistice

has been granted, more firmness has been apparent, and the qno-

taions have had an upward tendency. There has been somelittle excitement in the market for American railroad securities!

market clones with a firm appearance, and prices have aa upward

tendency.

In the coal and iron trades of the North of England there has,

daring the week, been rather more activity. Owing to theapproacli of winter, rather more business is passing for export to

the North of Europe, and the value of most commodities lias had«n upward tendency. Advices from Yorkshire state tliat thetrade for wool, without being activej is rather more cheerful andthat full prices have been obtained. The trade of Birminghamhas been wanting in animation, but prices in nearly all instances,

are firmly maintained.

No. 33 William street.These bonds are issued at the rate of $10,000 per mile, and covera land grant given by the State of Texas of 10,340 acres, for each

and every mile of road built and In running order. The bondsare a first and only iien upon the property of the company, and astrong point is made of the fact that the road is being built about35 per cent cheaper than most of the roads now running. Theroad is narrow gauge, and will extend from the City of Houston,passing through the German settlements of Western Texas andabout twenty -five of the most populous towns of Texas, to Pres-idio del None on the Rio Grande. The president of the companyis Mr. T. W. House, a well-known banker, and one of the mostenterprising citizens of Houston. The section of Texas throughwhich this road is to run has no reliable navigable streams andIs greatly in want of railroad facilities to transport its cotton,grain, and other products to market. Along the line of the roadare large stock-raising farms, and minerals of many kinds arefound In abundance. The projectors of tl-e enterprise anticipate

for it a remunerative business, without taking into considerationthe Increased number of inhabitants and the development ot thecountry which must follow the completion of the road. Theyhave furnished the money to build that portion of the roadalready completed, and intend to push the construction of thebalance with the proceeds of bond sales and other resources.

—The attention of capitalists, in America and abroad, is called

to the advertisement, in another column, of West Virgina Coalproperties, situated on the Kanawha River and Chesapeake &Ohio Railroad. These properties owned or represented by R. H.Maury, Esq., of Ricliraond, embrace one tract of 1,383 acresfronting on the Kanawha River at Point Creek ; one tract bf 5,461acres frontinff on the Kanawha River at Cabin Creek; and onea tract of 40,373 acres on the Gauley River, six miles above its

mouth, said to contain the best developed seams of Cannel, Splint,

and Bituminous Coals found in the Kanawha Basin. These landshave been examined by several eminent engineers, who unite in

the opinion that this is one of the most promising investmentsnow offered in America. Full information in reports accompaniedby maps, wi.l be furnished by Mr. Maury, on application.

—We invite attention to the card of Messrs. Bennett & Bryce»Cotton Factors and Commission Merchants, of this city, Mr.Bennett was for twenty-seven years the resident agent and active

manager of the famous Wamsutta Mills, New Bedford, and his

intimate acquaintance with the needs of manufaciurers, and thehigh appreciation in which he is hel 1 by the community, makehim a valuable addition to the ranks of the cotton trade. Mr.Bryce was one of the founders of iheN.Y. Cotton Exchange; and.agsuccessor to the old aud well-known firm of William Bryce & Co.,

cotton factors, he brings a long experience and large acquaintanceto the new firm. Their busine.'is (which commenced October 3d,

1876,) will be strictly on commission, and their office is in theNew York Cotton Exchange building.

—Mr. A. C. Burnham, lately of Champaign, III., lias just estab-

lished himself in New York an the representative of several firms

acthe West, of which he is a member. These firms, doing busi-

ness in Illinois, Iowa, and Kansas, confine tlieir operations

strictly (except Messrs. Burnham, Trevett & Matliss, bankers,) to

investing money en real estate mortgage security, and Mr. Burn-ham, the head of each firm, has made tbis business a specialty for

more ihan fifteen years past. It is a point made by all his

houses, that every loan made has the personal attention of amember of the firm, both in inspecting the property and in

searching the title. Mr. Burnham has done business for manyprominent parties In New York and the New England States,

and refers in his business card to gentlemen of the highestcharacter.

The Money Market and Financial Situation— Tlie

principal features in our market this we»k were the activity and

buoyancy in speculative stocks, and the weakness in gold and

government securities.

The money market shows a hardening tendency, though it

does not yet "fully reflect the increased volume of business in the

dry goods and merchandise markets and at the Stock Exchange,

and we find call loans still, in the first week of October, quoted

at 2@4 per cent, and prime mercantile paper selling at 5 to 6 per

cent, with exceptions on specially choice short date paper below

5 per cent. It is to be observed, however, that while our banks

hold a surplus above their legal reserve, larger than was held at

this time last year, a greater proportion of it is in gold and con-

siderably less in greenbacks, so that as the season advances it

would not be remarkable to see a fairly active money market,

and rates held firmly at 6 and 7 per cent.

The Bank of England on Thursday reported a decrease of

£11,000 in specie for the week, and the discount rate is un-

changed at 2 per cent. The Bank of France lost 5,016,000

francs in specie.

The following is the quarterly statement of the State banksin the ciiy of New York on the 33d day of September, 1876, as

United States Bonds.—The government bond market hasbeen pretty steadily declining, and the causes for this weaknessin tone are not cle<1rly apparent. The principal immediate causeseems to be found in tae declining teudency in gold and theopinion, cultivated in some quarters, that the premium will goconsiderably lower. There have not bsen very heavy sales, andlor foreign account there has been some purchasing, btit the mar-ket has seemed to lack that support and readiness to take all

stock offered, which has been its characteristic feature duringmost of the past year. Undoubtedly, the weaker tone is also

due in large part to the impression lately created that all the five-

twenties would probably be retired within a short period. AnEvening Post dispatch from Washington, to-day, which shouldbe taken with all the allowances properly made lor early infor-

mation, says that Secretary Morrill has been authorized by the

Rothschilds of London to issue another call for $10,000,000 five-

twenties, on account of a further subscription of that amount to

the 4i per centum bonds. The Secretary was also informed that

$740,000 in gold would be shipped to him by tlie Rothschilds, bythe steamer Russia, which sails to-morrow, to pay for thatamount of 4^ per centum bonds to be delivered in London.Closing prices of securities in London have been as follows:

State and Railroad Bonds.—In State bonds the Tennessees,

Virginias, and Louisiana consols are all firm. Railroad bonds

have shown a large recovery in the Central of New Jersey issues,

and a good deal of firmness in the general list, in sympathy with

the buoyancy in stocks. Ohio and Mississippi second mortgage

bonds fell off to 53 since the payment of interest, and to day sold

back to 57. The president of the company, Mr. Daniel Torrance,

remarks in his annual report, just issued :

'• We have been able to pay out of the earnings the yearly fixed charges of

Interest on our bonded debt, and the purchasca for its sinkmg fands. whUe at

thesametime the roadway, the equipment and ether properties of the coni-

pany have been maintain:^ in their usually efficient condition. •

"By expenditures for steel rails and other improvements of paramount

necessity, includin:' co:it of right of way and constructing 6 3-3 miles now track

from Paiia to Tower Ilill, on the Sprini^llcld Division our current liabilities

have been increased S '90,-58 73. To provide funds for these, and like puiposee,

the company has in reserve $1,000,000 Springfield Division first inortsa^.;e bonds.

These bondj have never been put on the market, and it is not the intention to

negotiate them nntil it is clear that the interest is fairly earued. Of this there

IS a good prospect."

Railroad and iniscellaneous Stocks.—The stock markethas taken a decided turn, and exhibited a general buoyancy andactivity, such as has hardly been seen since the early part of the

year. In taking a fair view of this sudden change in tone, it

must be admitted tliat there has been little new to affect the

actual value of stocks, and that the upward movement is a nat-

ural reaction from the unreasonable depression which had recent-

ly taken place, under the break in the coal stocks and the severe

hammering of prices which subsequently took place. In addition

to tlie real facts tendioff to depreciate the value of railroad

stocks, which were certainly unfavorable enough, there has beea

of late a determined and vigorous bear movement against prices,

and under both these influences an unnatural depression took

place and a large short interest was created. Tue purchases to

348 THE CHRONICLR [October 7, 1876.

cover shorts have, therefore, been the principal cause for thesharpness of the present upward turn, although it may be attri-

butid in part to a healthy reaction based on better prospecs forrailroad and other property. Among the favorable events of theweek was the change in administration of the Central Railroadof New Jersey, with the election of Mr. Knight of Philadelphiaas President. At the close to-day prices were well sustained atthe advance.The daily hierhest and lowest prices have been as follows:

The steamship Main, fromSouthampton this morning, had on board £81,000 in coin andbars. On gold loans the borrowing rates were 4 and 1 per cent.

;

loans were also made flat. Customs receipts of the week were$1,907,000.The following table will show the course of gold, and opera-

Sept. 1, as follows, the figures being all gold values:

STATE, CITY AND CORPORATION FINANCES.

'The " Investors' Supplement" is published on tbe last Saturday

«f each month, and furnished to all regular subscribers of the

Chboniclb. No single copies of the Supplement are sold at the

office, as only a sufficient number is printed to supply regular

subscribers.

aENERAI. INVESTMENT NEWS.

Alabama & Chattanooga.—Dipatcbes from Mobile say that

the Alabama & Cbattauoo);a Railroad Company was sold at auc-

tion for 1310,009 to A. P. Balcb, representing the holders of thecertificates insued by the receivers appointed by Judge Bradley,

of the United States Supreme Court.

Atlantic Misc. & Ohio.—Dr. de Klerck writes from Amster-dam, Holland : On instigation of Messrs. Ziegelaar and Luessen,a meeting was held, the 18th inst., of holders of tbe consolidatedbonds of the Atlantic Missicsippi & Ohio Railroad Company.Though about |3,000,000 are in our hands, only $565,000 wererepres«nted by twenty-aix holders. A committee was appointedconsisting of Messrs. Pick, de Merer, Oyena, Van der Waarden,Qoedkoop and Carp. The Board of the Stock Ercbanse added to

these five Mr. Van Vosterwijk Bruijn as chairman. This society

ie incorporated since the Ist of July, 1876, instead of the dis-

solved "committee of the Stock Exchange" and the " Stock Soci-

ety.'' Probably the committee will go hand in hand with that of

London.

American Mining Board.—This board, which completed its

organization a few weeks since, opened on Monday, Oct. 3, for

business. Mr. William Ward, Presiriont, read an inaugural ad-

dress, from which the following extracts are taken as showingthe character and operations of the association up to date :

"During the numerous sittings of our committees they havehad under consideration 650 applications for membership, and of

these 233 were approved and are duly elected and qualified.

There is still a list of names waiting the action of the appropriatecommittee, and every day adds to the number, Tliii fact makesit impossible to compile other than an imperfect list of names at

soon as completed printed copies will be furnished by the secre-

the present time. The list is in preparation, however, and as

taries." The Executive Committee decided at one of their recent meet-

ings that 100 additional members should be admitted at au initiation

<eB of $250, and that the fee for the nex*. lOO names should be^00 each. Of the first hundred names 35 have been elected andiiave duly qualified, and 25 more liave applied. It was also deter-

mined that all nominees lor membership, whose applicationsshould be received prior to October first, should, wheu elected,

become proprietary members, and that all nominations alter that

date should ba for operating memberships merely. In accord-

ance nith the constitution, as amended, measures have beentaken to organize the proprietary members into a corporate body,under the limited liability act of this State, the preliminary cer-

tificate for the purpose having been filed with the Secretary of

State. As soon as the forms of law can be complied with, the"Organization will be completed, tbe interests of the proprietarymembers will be represented by stock, and their liability will belimited to the sum of one hundred dollars each.

" In the matter of placing stocks upon the regular call, morethan 200 applications have been made to us, and more than thieefourths of them have been rejected. Our list at present com-prises less than fifty companies, a large proportion of them beingthose whose shares are actively dealt in at tbe San FranciscoStock Boards, and the remainder representing valuable and pro-

ductive properties. In due lime the better class of petroleumwells, and of copper, coal, iron and lead mines will be embracedin our daily call, including the shares of ice companies, gas com-panies and others, properly coming under the classification of man-ufacturing corporations. Few pursuits in this country, outside of

gold and silver mining, have been more remunerative than themanufacture and supplying of illuminating gas, or the preparing«.nd storing of ice, and the better grades of companies designedto promote these extremely useful industries will probably, indue time, become prominent as well as appropriate features inoar dealings.

" As to the financial status of the Board, after paying all pre-liminary expenses, we have $24,000 on deposit in bank, and thereis some $3,000 due and gradually being paid by recently electedmembers. The receipts from new applications, for some weekspast, hav« averaged more Ihan $500 per day, and are still con-tinued without abatement. The membership dues alreadyamount to some $14,000 per year, and the receipts from newlyelected members and other sources are likely to be $10,000 more,making a total income of $34,000 for the first year of our exist-ence. So far no salary has been paid to any oflScer of this bjdy,but within a reasonable time, these who do the work will doubt-lesa be adequately compensated.

" We owe no debts of any kind, and there is a universal deter-"mination on the part of the officers and committees to create noliabilities beyond the execution of a lease of suitable premisesJtor the business of tbe Board, and the entire amount involved inthat obligation is already on special deposit in the United StatesTrust Company. It is intended to conduct the business with con

sistent economy, and to commence at once to lay the foundationof a fund for the construction of a building suitable to the busi-ness of the Board and appropriate to the great interests Involvedin its permanent success."

The descriptive list of stocks is as toU.jwg, tbe par value of all

shares being $100, with the exception of the Cleveland, which is

$10, and Kossuth, which is $50:

Boston October Dividend and Interest Payments.—Mr.Joseph G. Martin, Commission Stock Broker, No. 10 State street,

Boston, has compiled his usual monthly list, shovfing, withmuch detail and accuracy, the disbursements in that city forinterest and dividenris due in October. As to banks he remarks ;

The past six months, so far as net profits are concerned, has beenone of tbe hardest periods our banks have experienced for verymany years, but the falling off in dividends at this time is notlarge, because of previous heavy reductions. It is pleasant tonote that four banks—the Central, Commonwealth, First Wardand \\ ebster—which deemed it advisable to pass in April, havenow resumed. Four others^theTremont, Metropolitan, EleventhWard and Broadway—now pass, the latter for the second time.Two new banks i_ommence dividends—the Fourth National (newJuly 19, 1875), 3| per cent, and tbe Merchandise (new November8, 1875), 3 per cent. Tbe other changes are all reductions. TheBoston National, 4 to 3" per cent; Continental, 3 to 2 per cent

;

Eagle, 3 to 3 per cent ;. Eliot, 3 to 2 per cent : Hide and Leather,3 to 2| per cent ; Mechanics', 5 to 4 per cent : Monument, 6 to 5per cent ; People's, 6 to 5 per cent ; 'I'hird National, 4 to 3 percent ; Traders', 2| to 3 percent. The banks pay their dividendsfree of all taxes, and most of them charge off' the amount now,while some divide it, half in October and half in April, whichwould seem equitable, and it is desirable that tbe dividendsshould be alike each six months, and not disturbed by larger taxpayments at one time than another.

•Of the sixty-one banks within the limits of Boston, three pay 6per cent, four 5 per cent, twelve 4 per cent, one 3^ per cent,

twenty-four 3 per cent, one 3 per cent quarterly, four 2j per cent,

seven 3 per cent, four pass, and one not declared.

nnffalo & Jamestown.—A suit for th» foreclosure of the

$2,500,000 mortgage of IStiSof the Buffalo & Jamestown RR. ban

been inslitutfd by the Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. of NewYork, trustees for the bondholders. The city* ol Buffalo owns$1,000,080 of the capital stock paid up. and the towns throughwhich tlie road passes about $500 000, and individual stockholders

in Buffklo the remainder. It is represented that on the paymentof the interest the bondholders would withdraw the suit, but the

city cannot contribute the necessary 20 per cent, without an enabling act, which cannot be obtained until the meeting of the legis-

lature. It is expected at Buffalo that a receiver will be appointednext week.

Bnrlington Cedar Rapids & Minnesota.—The bondliolders'

committee has issued a circular to the bondholders in which theygay :

" Bonds to the amount of eight millions have been deposited,

with the Continental Bank, under the plan of reorganization. It

Ip advisable that the bonds outstanding he deposited without de-

lay. It will require several months to engrave the new bondsand certificates of stock, but they will bs distributed as soon as

possible. The policy of '.he committee, from the first, has beento keep the bondholders informed, as far as possible, of all mat-ters hearing upon their interests. In pursuance with this policy,

a statement is submitted herewith, showing the various suits

pending against the company at the time of the sale. The pur-chase ot the property was made, subject to whatever may be thedecisioi: in these suits by the Court. It is proper in this connectlon, however, to state that the expressed opinl^tn of our counselis, in effect, that not one of these suits will ha decided againstthe company. It is to be hoped that this opinion will be verified.

It is now more than a year since the bondho.deras' committeecommenced its labors. With the foreclosure of the mortgage,and the purchase of the property for the bondholders, the work of

the committee is ended."

The suits referred to are on mechanics' liens under the Iowalaw, amounting in all to $183,516, and for recovery of claimsagainst the receiver, amounting to $139,686.

Central of New J.ersey.—At a meeting of the Board of Direct-

ors, held on Thuisdny, the resignations of Mr. Johnston, Presi-

dent, and Adam Norrie, a director, were received, and Mr.Knight, of Philadelphia, who was recently elected a member of

the Board of Directors, was chosen President of the company.P. A. Comly, President of the North Pennsylvania Railroad, waselected a member of the board to fill the vacancy occasioned lythe resignation of Mr. Norrie. A meeting of the Board of Directors

of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Company immediately fol-

lowed the adjournment of the meeting of the directors of theNew Jersey Central, at which J. B. McCreary, of Philadelphia,formerly President and principal owner of the Honeybrook CoalCompany, was elected a member of the board. No part of thebonds, under the $5,000,000 mortgage recently authorized, has beensold, and it is the intention of the directors, if possible, not to

Bell any portion ofthem until they can dispose of them at a muchbetter price than now. Mr. Koight, the new President, is at thehead of a large sugar refinery in Philadelphia, is President of

the Gaaranty,;Trust & Safe Deposit Company ot Philadelphia,and is also President of the Bound Brook Railroad Company.

A bill in chancery was filed last week by Obed H. Sanderson,in the New Jersey Court of Cliancery, at Trenton, ChancellorRunyon presiding, for an examination of the affairs of the NewJersey Central Railroad and the appointment of a receiver in

case it is found to be insolvent. Tlie bill, after reciting thevarious acts under which the road was incorporated, sets forth

that the president and directors had for a long time been usingthe funds and assets of the road in a manner contrary to law,and that especially their recent act indorsing and guaranteeingthe payment of $2,000,000 of the floating debt of the Lehigh &Wilkesbarre Coal Company, as well as placing $6,500,000 of NowJersey Central bonds as collateral security for remainder of suchfloating debt, was entirely without warrant of law. The bill fur-

ther avers that the president and directors, in continued disregardof law, purpose to issue the bonds of the company for the pur-pose of meeting the aforesaid obligations. Finally, the NewJersey Central Railroad is declared insolvent, being unable to

meet the various obligations under which it labors. The com-plainant, therefore, prays that the president and directors of theCentral Railroad of New Jersey may be perpetually restrained

by the court from alienating any additional property of the com-pany, and that Samuel Knox and John Kean may be also per-

petually restrained from disposing of the 5,000 bonds mentionedabove, each of the bonds and the mortgages issued as their

security being declared null and void; and, further, that a re-

ceiver may be appointed to take charge of the affairs of the cor-

poration, if it shall be found insolvent.

The Chancellor denied both motions on the ground tl at hedid not consider the facts alleged on either motion sufficient cans

)

for his interference.

Central KK. of Ga.—Charter Rights.—The followinr h •.

statement of the principal points involved In the decision of theUnited States Supreme Court in the case of this company as plua-tiff in error agt. the State of Georgia :

By an act ot tlie Leglalature of Ocorela, enacted In tS&l, a charter nnlimlladInduration, waa (iriiiiicd to "The Ccntr»l Railroad and Canal C<im|Miiix oFGcorg a," with power to conalruct a canal or railroad rroin Havinnab to Macon.tlie canal or ruliway not to bo xnbject'id ti be taxed higher than oiic-balt perce< t. upon Ua annual net Income. In 18-'l^. liy an anici)(l[n«<nt to the charter.the raine of vhc company waa changed to " The Central Railroad and BaaklstfCompany of Oe rgla;" its capital atock waa dcclnred to be $.1.0 0,000: iDdthe IHth aectl<m ofthe amendment enacted that ** the said railroad and appar-tenancea of the t>amu shall not be sabjcctod to be taxed high<-r than one-hallof one per centum upon (ta annual net income, and no municipal or other oo]>poration abail have uie power to tax Haid company, but in.iy tax any properlyreal or personal, of the said company, within the jurisdiction ot saidcorporation, in the ratio of taxation of like property." Under Ihia latternet the company WIS organized In I8M, and proceeded to build the railroadBy sn^siqiient cnnctmenta the capital Ktock wcs Increased to S\000,OUO. In1317 thf lcj;lKlatnre incorporated tlic Mncon and WcaiL-rn Kallroad Company,with power to bnlld a railroad from Macon to Atlanta.An ainenclmont to the charter Increased the capltsi s ock to |2,.VH).00O. and thechartered riuhta of the company were conl'nned for thirty years from lt« pai*-

mge, and the road was to pay tho same tax as the other railroad coinpanlca.The railroad was constructed to Atlanta. On the S-lIb day of Au^'u^t, 1813^the Legislature parsed an act authorizing the ronsoitdation of the two com-panies uuder tho name of the llrat-named, 'The Central Kaiirond and Bank-ing Company of Georgia." The sto(kholder8 of the old companiea were toreceive certiflcates of stock In the new company to an equal amount as iheirold stcck. In the manrcr prescribed by law, the crimpanies consolidated.Thus matters stood when, on February 2S, 1S74, a law was passed defining thellabiliiles of railroads to taxation, and repealing so much of their charicni asconflicted with iho law. Pursuant to this act of 1874, the Comptrollcr-Ueneralassessed a tax of $46,031 6T against the Central Railroad and Banking Com-pany, and Issued an execution to collect It. The company then paid the taxof one-half of one per cent required by the prior law, and Instituted pro-ceedings In the mode provided by 'he statute to resist ihe exaction of the

.

remainder, on the ground that by Its charter It was not subject to betixed higher than one-half of one per centum of Ita annual netIncome, and that ihe tax of 18'1 Impaired the obligation of its contractwith Ihe Slate. Having failed in the State courts. Ihe eaae la

brought here for review. It la not denied that by the provisionsof the charter granted in 1833, amended In 1815, and accepted by theCentral Kiilroad and Banking Company, a contract was made that the com-pany ebould not be taxed hlijher than one-half of one per rent, upon its netincome. Nor 1« It denied that the protecticn thus promised was as perpetoalas the existence of the company iiself. But it Is contended on beh,lf of theSt^te that the charter granted In 18r-i3 and amended In Il'.35 was surrenderedby the union and consolidation of the company under the act of 1872 wUlithe Macon & Western Itullroad Company, and that the company Is now exiat-tcg under a charter granted by the latter act. By the construction placvdupon the act of 1872, however, no such union of the two companies was au-thorized as would work a surrender of their charter by both of ihem and thecreation of a new company; at most, it Intended a merger of the Macon MWestern Railway Company into the other, a mode of transfer of that companya.

franchises and property, and a payment therefor with the tteck of the CenlzalCompany. But this cift of new powers did not deitroy the identity of theCentral Company, nor.did ihe union of the Macon & Western Comnany withthe (.'entral Company have tho efl'cct to exempt it from taxation, but it re-

mained subject to all prior liabilities, the Cenir il Company taking it as it theaexisted.—Reversed. Mr. Justice Strong delivered tao opinion.

Chicago & Southwestern.—A dispatch from Davenport, Iowa,to tho Cuicago Tribune, Oct. 2, says: The Chicago & Southwest-ern Railroad, with all Its property and franchises, is advertisedfor sale November 1 next, in pursuance of an order of the United.States Court. The road extends from Washington, Iowa, toLeavenworth, 300 miles, has been leased for years by the ChicagoRock Island & Pacific Railroad Company, but is now to be soldout under the first mortgage. It will be bought in by the presentlessees, who will then have a clear title to the valuable property.

Erie.—A Press telegram from Milford, Pa., dated Septembor28, said : "At the session of the Court of Common Pleas nowsitting here. Colonel J. Augustus Page, counsel for several of thefifth-mortgage bondholders of the Erie Railway, to-day moved,that rule be entered amending the record and for judgment on.ftilure to answer. This was opposed by Wm. Jessup. counsalifor the Erie road, and Judge Waller decided that Mr. Page shallgive ten days' notice to defendant. It is understood that this i»

the first step of a coalition of American capitalists toward getting^

poesession of the Erie railroad at the foreclosure sale under thefifth-mortgage bonds."

European & North American.—The road from Bangor, Me.»to Vanceboro' was formally transferred, October 2, to the Re-ceivers recently appointed on petition of the trustees under thesecond mortgage by R E. Smith, Trustee under the c msolidatedmortgage, who has had possession some time.

Gclf Western Texas & Pacilc.—The Galveston yewn says:" The ludianoia & Cuero (or Morgan) road is advertised at publloauction in the Ciiy of New York on the 19th of December,proximo." The road is seventy miles long, from Indianola, Texas,to Cuero. It is not now worked, trains having recently beentvilhdrawn.

Lafayette Bloomlngton & Miss.—The stockholders «»f thi»railroad held a meeting at Bloomington, 111., September 29, andelected C. R Cummings. of Prkin, President ; John Cheney, ofBloomington, Vice-Prdsident; J. B. Cahers, of Pekin, Secretary

and Treasurer. These officers then executed a lease of the Huefrom Bloomington to Lafayette, now operated by the Toledo,Wabash & Western, to the Lafayette Muncie & BloomingtonCompany, who take possession and operate a ibiough line fromBloomington to Muncie.

Lafayette Muncie & Bloomington.—A bill has been filed la

the United States Circuit Court for the foreclosure of the first

mortgage on the Western Division of this road, and the Conrthas appointed Hon. Jacob D. Cox receiver. The Western DWvision extends from Lafayette, Ind., west to the Illinois line,

thirty-seven miles, and has been worked since its completion bythe Toledo Wabash & Western. There are $666,000 bonds out-

standing under this mortgage.

Massachusetts State Bonds.—The Treasurer of the Common -

wealth issued a circular on September 7, stating that he waaprepared to receive bids for the following named loans, witk.

coadiiiona annexed

:

»he currency above specified

There were five bids, and tLe whole loan was awarded to

Kidder, Peabody & Co., at 113.29, gold. The latter firm is now•ffering the bonds for sale.

New York & Oswego Midland.—Judge Blatchford has ordered

the sale of this railroad, unless the defendante, within 60 days,

pay the debt of the road, amounting to $9,976,023 in gold and

f245,765 interest in currency. Kenneth G. White is made master

eommissioner to sell the road at a sum not less than f3,500,000.The sale is ordered to take place at Middletown. The time for

the sale has not been fixed, but the property cannot be sold under

Jour months, as notice of the sale must be published for fifteen

•uccessive weeks in the newspapers of New York, Utica, Albany,

Oswego, Norwich, and Middletown. The property will probably

be sold in bulk to the highest responsible bidder. An exception,

however, may be made in the leasehold interests in the Rome andClinton and Binghamton roads, which may be sold separately, il

the receiver so directs.

Pacific of Missouri.—The Missouri Republican says : After

the decree of foreclosure and the sale on the third mortgagebonds of the Missouri Pacific Railroad for the benefit of the bondholders, Cowdry, Mrs. Miltenberger and other stockholders,

through their counsel, moved to set aside the decree and sale andior permission to demur or appeal, as they had not been protected

HI their interests as the stockholders against the third mortgagel»ondholders.

Judge Dillon, in passing upon the motion, stated that the de-

cree of foreclosure and the sale were final, and no objections onfair grounds had been made. The Cowdry claimants, represent-

ing an interest of $3,000,000, should have interposed their objec-

tions to making the decree at the time when the question wasbefore the last term of the Court. The failure to do this showedeither ignorance or neglect on their part. Leave was therefore

lefused to file petition to set aside the sale, as there were no goodreasons presented to justify the Court in allowing the litigation

to be re-opened and renewed.Mr. Shepley, of the counsel for the Cowdry party, then asked

leave to file a petition that the sale be set aside, as the decree of

loreclosuro was void for want of jurisdiction of the court. In

presenting the motion, he argued that upon the face of the re

-

eorded proceedings in the case there was a want of proper citizen-

ship. The third mortgage bondholders and their debtors were,

according to the court record, all citizens of one State, New York,and, under the law establishing the United States Circuit Court,

the parties to a suit like this one, had to be residents of different

States.

Judge Dillon stated that the decree was not void on that

Kccount, as an error appearing on the record could be corrected

ky amendatory proceedings, which were subject to contest, andhe would not grant leave to file the petition of avoidance. Theremedy lor the parties was a mindamus from the United StatesSupreme Court lo allow an appeal.

Philadelphia Newtown & New Yorli.r—This railroad wassold at auction in Philadelphia. Mr. Isaac Eyre, of Newtown,Pa., acting for a committee of bondholders, offered a bid of$10,yOO, and had the property knocked down to him at that

figure.

Portland & Rocliester.—A dispatch from Portland, Me., Oct.

2, says: The Portland & Rochester Railroad failed to meet thesemi-annual interest, due to-day, on $350,009 of first mortgagebonds. The annual meeting takes place on Wednesday, when anexplanation will be made.

Pnllman Palace Car Co.—The annual statement of the Pull-

Bian Palace Car Company, for the year ending July 31, shows thetotal revenue to be |2 ,555 Oil 36 ; total disbursements, $3,031,05866 ; surplus for the year, being excess of revenue over ordinarydisbursements, $523,9.53 30; amount expended in rebuilding an

i

jemodelling 14 old style cars, $43,915 71 ; balance of surplus for

the year, carried to credit of income account, $481,457 59.

KesponsibilitiesorTrnstecs.—The following letter, or opinion,has been addressed to Mr. Brayton Ives, and otliers :

Gentlemen. In response to your inquiry for information re-

specting the nature and extent of the duties and liabilities ofdirectors to corporations committed to their charge, and thejemedies of sliaieholders in case those duties are violated, wesubmit the following ;

When a person is elected to and accepts a directorship in anincorporated company, he becomes a trustee for the shareholdersand creditors, and it is his duty to perform the trust fully andentirely. He stands in a fiduciary relation to the company, andis bound to administer its affairs with prudence and discretion,

in furtherance of the objects and purposes for which it wascreated.

It has often been adjudicated that, while standing in this

Iduciary relation, he has no right to make any profit to himself•St of tliat trust or employment, and should not acquire to him-self an interest adveiiie to that duty. He has no right to put him-

self in a position in which his private interests conflict with his

duty to the company : and if, in his transactions while acting in

his capacity as a director, he makes any contract from the execu-

tion of which he will derive a profit, that profit belongs to the

company, and the courts will compel him to account for it ; he

can have no pecuniary interest in any contract between a com-

pany of which he is a director and a third person or corporation.

In a recent case (21 Wall, 616), the Supreiue Court of the United

States, in speaking of the conduct of directors, says; "Tbev had no

right to enter into or participate in a combinaiion, the object of

which was to divest the company of its property and obtain it for

themselves at a sacrifice, or at the lowest price possible. They

had no right to seek their own profit at the expense of the company,

its stockholders, or even its hondholdtrs ; such a course was for-

bidden by their relation to the company. They could not right-

fully place themselves in a position in which their interests be-

came adverse to those of either the stockholders or bondholders."

In a case before the Supreme Court of Ohio in 1868—Godin agt.

Cir. and Whitewater Canal Company—(19 Ohio State R., 169), the

conduct of directors in making a contract of sale with, another

company in which they were stockholders was reviewed and com-

mented upon. The Court says: " The venderand purchaser were

in the same interest. As directors of the canal company it was

the duty of Mr. Lord and his associates to obtain the highest

price tor the property, while, as stockholders of the Railroad Co., it

was their interest to get it as low as possible. It was, in effect, a

sale by the railroad company lo itself. There was no adverse

interest or adversary parties, and the sale was a mere form.

Nothing is better settled in equity than that such a transaction

on the part of a trustee does not bind the cestui que trust. It is

equally well settled that the property of a corporation is a trust

fund in the hands of its directors, for the benefit of its creditors

and stockholders.

If it was desired or intended to make such purchase of the

property as would bind the stockholders and creditors of the

Canal Company, all of them should have either been consulted or

brought out. That would have been the fair way to accomplish

the object. To undertake, by getting control of the company,

and then under pretense of acting &» agents and trustees for aUthe stockholders and creditors, deliberately to trample under foot

the rights of the minority, is rather a sharp practice, and one

which a court of equity will never tolerate. A director whose

personal interests are adverse to those of the corporation has no

right to be or act as a director. As soon as he finds that he has

personal interests which are in conflict with those of the company,

hr) ought to resign. No matter if a majority of the stockholders

as well as himself, have personal interests in conflict with those of

the company. He does not represent them a? perso ns. or represent

their personal interest. He represents them as stockholders, an d

their interests as such. He is trustee for the company, and when-

ever he acts against Us interests—no matter how much he thereby

benefits/or«iffn interests of the individual stockholders, or howmany of the individual stockholders act with him—he is guilty

of a breach of trust, and a court of equity will set his acts aside,

at the instance of stockholders or creditors who are damnified

thereby. Any act of the directory by which they intentionally

diminish the value of the stock or property of the company is a

breach of trust, for which any of the stockholders or creditors

may justly complain, although all the other stockholders and

creditors are benefited in some other way more than they are in-

jured as such.

The Court of Appeals of this State, in Coleman against Second

Avenue Railroad" Company, 3Slh New York, 233, asserts with

equal positiveness the same doctrine.

The principles we have stated do not countenance the idea that

the courts will interfere with the powers and duties of directors

in the management of the internal aflairs of the company whenthe act complained of arises from an error of jadgmeut, and does

not amount to a breach of trust, unleps the director has acted

under an interest which is adverse to this duty.

As to the remedy, there is but little embarrassment or diffi-

culty. When the directors are guilty of a breach of trust the

corporation may prosecute its action on the equity or law side of

the court, as may be appropriate under the special facts. In someinstances the courts have set aside and declared void the acts

complained of, and in others have held the directors liable per-

sonally in damages. It often happens, however, that the alleged

wrongdoers continue to be directors of the company, aud refuse to

bring suit. In thos-e cases the courts allow a stockholder to bring

the action in behalf of himself and all the other shareholders

against the company and the directors guilty of the breach of

trust. Wo remain very respectfully your.»,

Wilmington & Reading.—The sale of this railroad has been

postponed lor one month. The adjournment of the sale was byorder of the United States Circuit Court, for reasons explainable

as follows :

There are two mortgages upou the road. The first is for

$1,213,500, and it is upon this that the trustees obtained, after

suit, the decree of Bile. The second mortgage is for $1,750,000,

and the trustees of the mortgage 'on Saturday last went to

Washington, and obtained from Mr. Justice Miller, of the Su-

preme Court, a .iuper^edeas over the decree of the Circuit Courtof the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, on the ground of nojurisdiction. This action in Washington was taken withoutnotice to the first mortgage holders. These facts, aud the action

of the Supreme Court, were given to the Circuit Court, now being

held in this city, whereupon an order of adjournment was made,with the result as stated.

Trade lias relapsed into dulness, approaching Btaf^nation. Theimpulse which was apparently given to business by a recovery

in domestic manufactures of cotton and wool, from the extremelow figures of the early summer, has wholly ceased, and even in

dry goods there are general complaints of slow sales andnnremunerative returns. In other branches of business there is areturn to the hand-to-mouth policy of buying. The impression

has gotte.1 abroad that there have been artificial means employedto give business affairs a healthy look, nnd this excites suspicion,

besides causing distrust in the stability of values.

86^5 IHE CHRONICLR [October 7, ]876.

Tliere has been a farther decline of -ic in cotton on the spot.

A redaction of l-16c. on Wednesday was caused by tlie lower

qaotationa from Liverpool, but the farther reduction of l-16c>

on Thursday was in the face of a more active Liverpool market'

and must be attributed to the very material decline in currency

latep of excliange, which took place on that day, and to the very

free receipts. The decline to 10|o. for middling uplands led to

rather more activity. To-day there was a steady market, with a

moderate inquiry from shippers and spinners. The speculitors

in futures were somewhat startled on Monday by accounts, public

and private, of the occurrence of a killing frost at Memphis, and

-white fros*, of more or less severity, as far South as Montgomery,

in Alabama, Meridian in Mississippi, and Augusta in Georgia.

The frost report from Memphis was accompanied with the state-

ment that owing to the drought it had done very little damage;

but it was sufficient to prompt the bears to an extensive covering

of "shorts," and in the face of the receipts at the ports aggre-

fating 31,000 bales, prices advanced l-16@3-32e. But on Tues-

ay the conviction was reached that the frost had done very little

injury ; and this, with more warlike news from Turkey, causedmuch depression during Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a

partial recovery on Thursday, from no very well defiaed cause,

although Liverpool was more active. Crop estimates seem, for the

moment, to have been almost entirely lost sight of. To day,

futures were weaker, and the early months declined l-16c., fromas little apparent cause as the advance of yesterday.

The total sales for forward delivery (or the week are 105,200

bales, including free on board. For immediate delivery the

total sales foot up this week 9,603 bales, including 2,399 for ex-

port, 6,318 for consumption, 985 for speculation, and in

transit. Of the above, 958 bales were to arrive. The following

were the closing quotations to day

:

The Visible Bupplt of Cotton, as made up by cable and

telegraph, is as follows. The continental stocks are the figures

of last Saturday, but the totals for Great Britain and the afloat

Weathkr Reports by Tblkoraph.—The weather the past

week has, in geueraV, been very favorable for picking purposes.

A killing frost has, however, visited some sections, and done in-

jury. In all the northern part of Texas the top crop has thus

been destroyed, but as the bottom and middle crops are reported

safe and very abundant in all that section, the yield is still ex-

pected to be la excess of last year, if the picking season continues

favorable.

We give to-night tlie portion of our monthly reports which

have reached us. They bring the condition down to October 1.

Although we have received as yet but few from Arkansas, those

received would seem to confirm the information we have hereto-

fore published as to the deficiency of yield in some of the rich

counties of that State, this year, compared with last year.

Louisiana, in the lower third of the State, would appear to have

raised more cotton than a year ago ; in the middle tier of

parishes and along the Red River a decreased crop (mainly on

account of the drought) is reported ; in the northern tier the yield

will not be very different from last year. The condition in Mis-

Bissippi, so far as our information goes, would seem to be quite

similar to that reported for Louisiana. In all these States, how-ever, the weather has been durinjt the month very favorable for

picking purposes, so that the crop is being gathered rapidly and

in excellent condition.

Oaheston, Texas.—There has been no rain here all this weekThe thermometer has averaged 71, the highest being 87 and the

lowest 57. The weather has been too cold on Saturday, Sundayand Monday, wiih high wind, but as the week closes there has

beea a favorable change in the weather. Ice formed this weekin the northern part of the State. Throughout the State there

is no top crop, being lost south from caterpillars, west fromdrought, and north and east from grasshoppers and frost. Theplant is killed everywhere; nevertheless, the bottom crop is safe

and very abundant everywhere, and the middle crop generally

good. The general belief is that Galveston receipts will exceed

last season, but all now depends on the picking season. Picking

will close everywhere by Christmas. The rainfall for the monthhas been sixty-four hundredths of an inch.

Indianola, Texas.—We have had an unusually severe storm on

one day this week, which has interfered with the picking andhas beaten out much open cotton. The weather has been too

cold. There has been no frost, but there is no foliage to be

killed. Average thermometer 70, highest 80 and lowest 56. Therainfall has reached two inches and forty-two hundredths. TherainfcU for the month has been three inches and thirty-four

hundredths.

Corsicana, Texas.—We have had a killing frost this week onSaturday, Sunday and Monday. Grasshoppers have also ap-

peared in swarms, devouring everything green. The bottomand middle crops are safe and very abundant, but the top crop is

lost. Average thermometer during the week 64, highest 89 andlowest 41. There has been no rainfall. The rainfall for the

month is one inch and ninety-eight hundredths.

Dallas, Texas.—Vfe have had no rain here all the week. Wehave had a killing froat on three nights, which, with the grass-

hopper?, has finished the top crop. The yield will still be good,

but picking will close early. Average thermometer 68, highest

85 and lowest 44. Total rainfall for the month, thirty-five

hundredths of aa inch.

New Orleans, Louuiana.—No rain has fallen here this week.The thermometer has averaged 69. We have had a frost this

week, but not a killing frost. The rainfall for the month is

eighty-four hundredths of an inch.

Shreveport, Louisiana.—The rainfall during the week (on the

4th inst.) has reached two and twenty-five hundredths inche?.

The thermometer has averaged 63, the highest being 84, and tlio

lowest 42. Picking has progressed rapidly, and considerable of

the new crop has been put on the market.

Bastrop, Morehouse Parish, Za.—There has boon no rain this

montli. Thermometer stood from 80 to 9(5 degrees from the 1st to

the 12th, and since has varied from 48 to 80 degrees. The crop hasceased to grow, on account of dry weather. Prospects are Tery

good in my immediate vicinity. There having been no rain, tha

cotton is being gathered very fast, and is in good condition.

Cotton two-thirds open. Picking was general about the 5th of

September.

Vidaiia, Concordia Parish, La.—Only in very limited districts

has there been any rain in this parish during Septeml>or. Therewas rain the first half of August, but since then substantially

none. The plant has matured rapidly during the month, andthe bolls have opened very fast, the dry weather stoppiaf

growth, and causing the leaves to fall. Picking is makingexcellent progress in spite of the election excitement. What the

yield will be, compared with last year, no man can at present

correctly estimate. Mach will depend on the yield in the

low lands, which wore so |backward, bat have grown very

fast since early in August. The general opinion is that the crop

will be short. I should estimate the yield of this Parish last

year at about 20,000 bales, on 35,000 acreage.

Columbia, Cxlduell Parish, La.—During July and first half ofAugust cotton developed well. Since then we have had a

drought, and it has stopped growing, and there will be no lop

crop. Foliage is generally off, and the bolls are opening very

rapidly. Quick work is being made with the picking, so that thft

early receipts are large. This is likely to give an impt'ession of

a larger yield than will be realized. The crop will be consider-

ably short of the early August expectations, drought and rusthaving done much injury.

Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, La.—Our weather has beeasplendid almost all the month, and cotton has developed Unalyand is being picked rapidly. Our planters are sending the cropto market as fast as possible, and in excellent condition. Wasliall make more cotton than last year.

Port Hudson, Eatt Feliciana, La.—We have had the beat ofweather during September, and cotton has continued to developwell. The plant is in fine condition, well fruited, and the IkjUs

are opening rapidly. Picking is going on very satisfactorily,

and the cotton is being secured in excellent condition—mucllbetter than last year.

Vickshurg, Mississippi.—We have had showers on two daysthis week. The thermometet' has averaged 69, the highest being82, and the lowest 42. Picking is progressing finely, and planter*

are sending their crop to market freely.

Cclumbus, Mississippi.—We have had a frost on one night this

week, but not a killing frost. The weather has been clear andpleasant all the week.

Corinth, Alcorn County, Miss.—The weather has been favorabiathroughout the month of September. It showered on the 5th,

and there was a very heavy rain on the 20th. The condition ofthe crop is now good, well fruited on uplands, but on the low-lands spotted ; the latter cannot make a full crop. The favor-

able weather during the month lias had a beneficial effect, and amarked improvement is the result. Uplands have not improvedso perceptibly in consequence of having developed their growthearlier. A continuance of favorable weather will add furtherimprovement. Cotton is opening well, aud picking is progress-

ing finely. Picking began on the 20th ; with favorable weather,picking will be through by December 1. We pay this year for

picking cotton 60 cents; last year 75 cents to $1 per 100 pounds.Benton, Yazoo Co., Miss.—There has been no rainfall during

the month in any part of the county, save a light shower on tha22d in parts of southern portion ; average thermometer to 25thinstant 70^ degrees ; last five days 69 degrees. Cotton is almostentirely opened, and is not an average fruitage ; new growth ofAugust and first half of September now stopped. The crop is

nearly all open on hills aud dry bottoms ; a heavy storm would doincalculable mischief and damage ; red rust increased on uplands,preventing maturing of late top crop. Picking became generalbefore 10th September, and will he finished, if weather permits,

by 1st to 15th November. We pay 50 cents per hundred this

year for picking, and feed hands ; last year we paid 75 cents perhundred and rations.

Cherry Creek, Pontotoc Co. , Miss.—The weather has generallybeen fair the past month, and until the 26th warm ; thermometerfrom 80 to 94 in the hottest part of the day; it rained on the 30ihat night ; it was not a very heavy rain ; damaged cotton batlittle. The crop in this section is ligliter tlian usual, owing tothe tjp crop falling off on account of the drouth from 14th Aogostto 20th September. It ia opening well, and picking became gen-eral on the loth September. If health and weather remain good,pickinit will be finished by the 15th November. We pay this

year for picking 50 cents per 100 lbs. and furnish one meal ; last

year we paid 73 cents per 100 lbs. and one meal.Little Hock, Arkansas.—On Wednesday and Thursday of thin

week it lias been cloudy, with rain, the rest of the week l>eing

clear and cool. The thermometer has averaged 55, ranging fronx

75 to 39. The rainfall is one inch and twenty-four hundredths.Camden, Ouachita Co., Arkansas.—We have had no rain dur-

ing this month here, and none worth naming in the adjacent

counties ; have no record of tlie thermometer, but the weatherhas been pleasant, except about three days of warm weather ,

about the 20th. Crop nearly all opened ; owing to dry weatherthe "top crop" will fail to mature. The weed is large fromJuly rains, but the branches are far apart, and bolls far apart.

We' have to reduce our estimate to 6') per cent, of last year'n

crop, which was unusually large ; the present ia nearly an aver-

atje crop for this section. Picking is progressing rapidly, al-

though delayed to some extent by sickness, though health is bet-

ter than last year, when more than half the crop was badly dam-aged

;picking became general September 1, and will be about

finished during October. We pay for hands this year 50 centsper 100 lbs. and board, or 75 cents without board ; last year 75cents per 100 lbs.

Plumer's Station, Conway Co., Ark.—We have had no rain at

all tbis monih; the weather has been pleasant. The conditionof cotton is not good, as it is not well fruited and not growing.It was ton dry in August and September. It is opening well, andpicking is progressing exceedingly well. It began lOlh Sep-tember, and I think most of the crop will be gathered by first ofJanuary, 1877. We pay this year 50c. per 100 lbs.; last year wepaid 75c. per 100 lbs.

Naahmlle, Tennasee.—It has rained here on three days duringthe week, the rainfall reaching suventy-eicht hundredths of aninch. The thermometer has averaged 58, the extremes being 40and 70.

Memphis, Tennessee.—It has rained here on four days of theweek, the rainfall reaching one inch and ninety-seven hun-dredths. We had a killing frost on Sunday, which damagedbottoms, though the damage was not general. The top crop is

lees reliable than last year. Picking is progressing finely.

Average thermometer, 60 ; high-st 72, and lowest 40. Plantersare sending their crop to market freely.

Mobile, Alabama.—There has been no rain here all the week.We have had a frost this week, but not a killing frost. Pickingis progressing finely, and the crop is being sent to market freely.

The tributary rivers are lower. Average thermometer duringthe week Hi, highest 83, and lowest 43.

Montgomery, Alabama.—The thermometer at this place husaveraged during the week 00, the highest being 81, and thelowest 41.

Selma, Alabama.—We have had no rainfall during the week.The days have been warm, but the nights have been cold. Pick-ing is making fine progress, and cotton is being forwarded to mar-ket freely.

Madison, Florida.—Telegram not received.

Macon, Georgia.—There has been no rain here this week. Wehave had a frost, but not a killing frost. The thermometer hasaveraged 79, ranging Irom 46 to 85.

Atlanta, Georgia.—The days have been warm, but the nightshave been cold during the week, and there has been no rain.

We have had a irost this week, but not a killing frost. Thethermometer has averaged during the week 57, the highestbeing 71, and the lowest 41. The total rainfall during the monthis eighty-two hundredths of an inch.

Golximbus, Georgia.—There has been no rainfall here all this

week. Tbe thermometer has averaged 61, the highest being 76,and the lowest 38. The rainfall for the month is sixty-twohundredths of an inch.

Savannah, Georgia.—The weather during the week has beenpleasant. There has been no rain. The thermometer hasaveraged 65, the highest being 85 and the lowest 40.

Augusta, Georgia.—During the week the days have been warm,but the nights have been cold. There has been no rain. Thethermometer has averaged 60, the hiahei-t being 80 and thelowest 39. Accounts are favorable. Planters are sending theircrop to market freely. The rainfall for the mouth is two inchesand fifty hundredths.

Charleston, Soitth Carolina.—It has been showery one day theearly part of the week, but the latter part has loeen clear andpleassnt. The thermometer has averaged 73, the highest being82 and the lowest 48. The rainlall for the week is nineteenhundredths of an inch.

Kinston, Lenoir County, N. C.—The weather has been pleasantall the week, except tbat on the 6tn it was showery ; on tlie

10th, 11th, and 13th, a light rain ; on the 15th, 16th, 17th, and23d, heavy rain, and on the 2Ut and 33d, cloudy and damp. I

consider the condition generally poor, as the cotton ia rotting in

the bolls. In some places the plant is very well fruited, but asa general thing, I think, not so well as last year. It has grownsome this month, but no advantage to the crop by it that I

can hear of. Caterpillars made their appearance about the 20thof September ; they may injure lowland cotton to some extent.It is the opinion iu tbis section that the crop was injured by thestorm of the 16th and 17th about one-eighth ; the wind and rainbeat the cotton out of the bolis, and it sprouted before it could begathered up. It is now opening very fast ; picking becamegeneral about the 15tli inst. and will be finished about the 15thDecember. We commenced picking at 35 and 40 cents per 100pounds, and had to raise up to 50 cents to get the hands to pick

;

paid last year 50 cents per hundred.Elizabeth City, Pasquotank Co., North Carolina.—The first

twelve days of September the weather was fair and pleasant ; onthe 14th it commenced to rain in torrents until the folfowing day,when we had the most severe equinoctial gale for thirty years.Houses were upturned, trees blown down, and many small boatsia the harbor were driven into the streets and wrecked. Thedamage to cotton and corn is incalculable. I think both cropsare cut off at least one-third each. The condition of the crop,therefore, at the present time is very bad from the cause abovestated. Previous to the storm it was not as well fruited asusual ; now, fruitage has stopped, and a premature ripening willfollow, caused by the almost entire loss of the leaves. Upon thewhole, I think we shall not make much over a half crop. It is

opening quite well, and picking has just gotten fairly under way.Picking will be finithed about the 1st of December. Hands arepaid a half cent per pound this year. Last year, three-quarterswere paid.

The following statement we have also received by telegraphshowing the height of the rivers at the points named at 3 o'clockOct. 5. We give last year's figures (Oct. 8, 1875) for com-parison, ^oct. 5, "76^ ^Oct. S, '75.-,

BREADSTUFFS.Friday. P. M., Oct. 6, 1876

We have had an active, and towards the close a buoyant market

for flour. The salea for the week approximate 100,000 bbls., and

prices have advanced 10920c. for the leading grades. A scarcity

of desirable lines from Spring wheat has led to more business in

flours from Winter, especially good extras of St. Louis and Mich-

igan, in the range of $G 2o(a(> 50, and Southern flours are doing

better. The production is large at nil points, but the large defici-

ency in stocks, caused by so much souring in the summer months,

does not seem to have yet been made good. To-day the market

clo.sed flat.

rhe wheat market has been excited and a'Jvancing. The warnews from Turkey has excited a speculative feeling among liold

ers here and at the West, and foreign accounts have comestronger, leading to considerable activity for export. The better

grades of old No. 2 spring have sold at f1 18(3$ 1 35, and newNo. 3 Chicago at $1 24(§|1 20. Winter wheats have advanced,

with a considerable business in reds at $1 20((iSl 80, and white

at |1 35(g|l 33. Receipts of wheat have considerably increased

at the West, as well as at this market, and yesterday a check was

given to the upward course of prices. To-day, there was very

little done, and the close was weak.

Indian corn has been active at rather better prices, with prime

sail mixed selling very freely at 58i@59c. on the spot, and 59c.

for all October ; but yesterday some depression was caused by

the decline in exchange and the high rates of o^ean freights.

To-day, prices declined ^c, and sail mixed sold for October at

571@57ic.

Rye has been more salable at 78@75o. for Western, and 86<g

90c. for State. Barley and barley malt ruled slightly higher,

but not active. Canada peas are dull, drooping and unsettled.

Oats have continued irregular and unsettled, with quotations

still covering an unusually wide range. Nothing has been done

for export. The market was weak.

THE DRY aOODS TRADE.FamAT. P. M., Oct. 6, 1876.

Business has been comparatively light the past w-tek with

package houses, and the jobbing trade was much less active than

when last reported upon. The weather has not been coldenongh.

to stimulate a consumptive demand for fall and winter goods,

and until jobbers and retailers have distributed their early pur-

chases, it is probable that there will be a lull in the market, as is

generally the case at this time of year, when Western and South-

ern buyers have returned home, and when it is yet too early to

expect re-orders from them, or much demand from the near-by

trade. In domestic goods, prints and dress fabrics have con-

tinued in brisk demand, and black silks were the most active of

imported textures. About 500 cases Union Mills colored cottons

were disposed of at auction, and brought fair prices, and some1,300 pieces fancy cassimeres were sold in the same manner,

which—although slightly damaged by smoke—brought the full

market rate for sound goods. Values of both domestic andforeign fabrics were firmly maintained, and the supply is morenearly in accordance with the probable demand than for a long

time past.

Domestic Cotton Goods.—The export trade in cotton goods

was more active, and several mills are running on orders lor

future delivery. The shipments of the week reached 1,399

packages, of which 503 packages were sent to Great Britain, 290

to New Granada, 157 to the Argentine Republic, 120 to Mexico,

120 to Brazil, 59 to British West Indies, 42 to Germany, 38 to

Venezuela, and the rest, in smaller lots, to other countries. Brownand bleached cottons were in moderate demand and firm, with

an upward tendency on light three-quarter makes, al)cut the

grade of print cloths. Cotton flannels were in steady request, andlow qualities are in small supply. Colored cottons were gen-

erally quiet, and cheviots have lost much of their late buoyancy.

Corset jeans were moderately dealt in, and small sales of rolled

jaconets and glazed cambrics were made by agents. Print c!oth.s

were inactive but very firm, and, owing to thelight supply, prices

were advanced to 5c. cash to ten days for the best extra 64's, at

which figure these goods pay a handsome profit to manufacturers.

Prints were in good demand and firm, but ginghams were little

wanted aside from a few dress goods styles, which were taken in

small parcels.

Domestic Woolen Goods.—The business of the week in

this department was comparatively light, although there

was a moderate inquiry for le- assortments by early buyers, and a

few orders were placed by clothiers for light-weight cassimeres

and worsted coatings to be delivered hereafter. One of the lead-

ing commission houses closed oat its entire stock of fancy over-

coatings at a concession from former holding rates ; but on terms

which did not transpire. Cassimeres were in fair demand, andthe best makes are steadily held. Cotton warp worsted coatings

were distributed in considerab'e amounts, but the better grades

moved less freely. Cloths and doeskins were in limited demand,and repellents met with liberal sales. Satinets, tweeds and Ken-tucky jeans were lightly dealt in. Linseys were in moderate

request, as were dress plaids. Flannels were taken in small lots

for keeping up assortments, and blankets were in steady moderate

request. Ingrain and tapestry Brussels carpets were (ally active

in jobbers' hands.

FORBIQN Dry Goods —There has been an irregular demandfor foreign goods, but importations continue so light that values

are steadily maintained. Black dress silks were in good demandand are firmly held at the late advance. Mantilla and trimmingvelvets were more active, and ribbons continued in steady request.

Colored cashmeres were in brisk demand, and, being scarce, are

stiffly held at paying prices. Black cashmeres and drap d'ete

were placed in fair amounts, but fancy dress goods moved slowly.

Linen goods and Hamburg embroideries were in fair request, but

white goods ruled quiet. Woolen goods, for men's wear, remained

depressed, and many makes are selling at unremuuerative prices.

Laces and lace goods remained quiet, but there was a fair demandfor hosiery and for kid and fabric gloves.
