THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.The first effects of the floating of the new Italian loa n
are seen this week in the report by the Bank of Engla ndof a loss of £1,000,000 gold during the last seven days.
The possible influence of this loan for £15,000,000, not
only upon the money markets of Europe, but upon our
own, is a matter that merits important consideration. It
is generally believed that as soon as the crops begin to movethe rates of foreign exchange, now already quite near the
specie-importing point, will fall still lower and make it
profitable to import gold to this country. In view of the
new demand that Europe will have to meet, the questionIS raised, can we depend with certainty upon importationsof gold from abroad this fall ? Should our commerce re-
quire additional supplies of that metal, are we in a posi-
tion to compel Europe to furnish those supplies ?
t In the first place, it would not appear probable that our
needs will bo as great as in either of the two previoua
years. With the resumption of specie payments it was of
course necessary that we should augment our stock of
gold, and we proceeded to do this by retaining our domes-
tic production and importing largely from abroad. In
1879-80 our net imports of gold were $77,119,371, and in
1880-81 $97,452,737. By these means we were enabled
to add almost 250 million dollars to our stock in the short
space of two years. The estimate of the Director of the
Mint gave $520,000,000 as the total of gold in the country
on May 2, 1881, against only $286,000,000 July 1, 1879;
While without doubt we can absorb further large supplies,
these figures would seem to make it certain that it is not
likely that our wants will be very urgent or anywhere near
as heavy as in 1879 or 1880.
Now as to our. ability to draw what we do need. The
trade returns given on another page show that we are in a
much stronger position now than a yaar ago for command-
ing gold imports. The excess of exports over imports of
merchandise and specie, was, in 1879-80, $91,792,521 ; in
the year just passed it was $168,557,604. We are thus
pretty nearly 77 millions better off in this respect than in
1880. Yet with an unliquidated balance of not quite 92
million dollars left outstanding at the close of 1879-80—
a
good part of it, too, only apparent, not roal—we were able
to draw from Europe during 1880-Sl more than 97 mil-
lions of gold. It may be argued that it was the condition of
the 1880-1 trade, and not the balance outstanding at the
end of 1879-80, that permitted these imports of gold, and
we admit this, in part. It may be further said that the
nominal balance of 168 J millions on June 1, 1881, is there-
fore of no consequence, and that all will depend upon the
trade of the current year. To prove that the large balance
of 168^ millions was of no consequence it would first have
to be demonstrated that interest payments on securities
held abroad, freight charges on imports, and other items
that have to be taken into the account, had wiped it all
out. But waiving this, and assuming that we will have to
rely upon current trade, the outlook is equally encouraging.
Some anticipate that our exports will be so largely dimin-
ished by deficient crops as to make any merchandise bal-
ance in our favor exceedingly problematical. We do not
share this view. Should a decreased production of wheat,
for instance, cause a falling off in the quantity left for
export, it would not be at all surprising to see higher prices
as a natural concomitant, with the effect, as far as values
are concerned, of offsetting, in whole or in part, the loss
in quantity by an increase in price. As a case in point,
we have the exports of wheat during the last two years.
Counting flour at its pioper equivalent in wheat, the ex-
ports were 5J million bushels smaller in 1879-80 than i'n
136 THE CHRONICLE. [Vol. XXXIIl.
1880-1, yet prices were so much higher in the former
period that values were actually 13 J million dollars heavier.
Further, should the crops in Europe be more favorable
than in previous years, it is not to be forgotten that this
will improve the position of the agricultural classes, and
consequently increase the demand for, and consumption of,
goods—more especially cotton goods. Now, the raw ma-
terial for these goods will have to come from America,
and no one has as yet claimed that our cotton crop will he
a failure or that we will not be able to meet any demands
upon us for this staple. When in connection with all this
we take the fact that at the recent low prices large pur-
chases of securities for European account were made,
which will have to be paid for one way or another, the
strength of our position will be readily apparent. How-
ever European nations may struggle among themselves for
their rapidly waning stocks of gold, there can be little
doubt that unless speculation should again become ram
pant in our merchandise markets, and force prices up,
with the result of swelling imports and checking exports
—
there can be little doubt, we say, that unless this occurs
the United States can command all the additional gold
her commerce may need.
On the Stock Exchange the most important influence at
th« present time is the railroad war, which is still con-
tinued with imabated fury. During the past week this
has been about the only element aSecting stock values,
the market being dull and otherwise almost without fea-
ture. Speculators seem to be in an attitude of expectancy,
waiting for something which should indicate that the rail-
road war was nearing its end. A report which was current
on Tuesday thet the managers of the roads were arranging
for a conference tended to stiffen the market for the trunk
line shares on that day. On Thursday the news came that
Commissioner Fink, at the request of a number of rail-
road managers, had called a meeting, to be held on
Wednesday next, for the purpose of discussing matters
relative to the differences between the roads; and it wasthen understood that a preliminary meeting of railroad
presidents would be held at Saratoga on Saturday. Theway thus seems to be paved for an adjustment of the
troubles, provided those who inaugurated the contest are
in a mood to make mutual concessions. It is clearly in the
power of one, and perhaps two, of the presidents of the
trunk-line roads to stop the fight at once. Apparentlynothing can be gained by continuing the conflict. Allthe roads are involved, and be the losses great or smal^every day that the fight continues takes so much from therevenues of the companies. »The pubUc do not clearly understand what object is to be
gained by the contest. In the absence of positive informa-tion the theory has been advanced that Mr. Vanderbiltwas de»iroTi3 of introducing certain reforms in the man-agement of the business of his roads, and that meetingwith opposition from the officers of other lines, he haddetermined, by keeping up the war, to force his opponentsinto an agreement. Exactly what these proposed reformsTfere or are, does not appear, but it is supposed that theyrelate to the employment of freight and passenger agenteat terminal points.
The hint has also been thrown out in one of the Westernpapers that Mr. VanderbUt was seeking to get control ofhe Erie road, thereby obtaining one of the most importantof the competing lines, and enabling him to take an inde-pendent course as regards the other routes. The fact thatthe Credit Valley road is being extended from St. Tliomasto Toronto, thus placing the Canada Southern in a strongerpoeiuon for competing with the Grand Trunk and the
Great Western, appeared to confirm the view that Mr.
Vanderbilt's plans were far-reaching and that he was
seeking possession of the Erie and at the same
time hoped, with the Canada Southern extension to
Toronto and Montreal, to hold the Canadian roads in
check. With such a combination Mr. Vanderbilt would,
it was urged, have no need of pools, for he could practically
control the business between Chicago and New York and
be able to defy competition either from existing lines or
those now in progress of completion or which might be
projected. To this we would say that whatever his in-
tentions may be as respects the Canada Southern, there
would appear to be little ground for giving credence to
the Erie part of the story. For him to control both of the
great trunk lines within the State, would certainly be to
invite legislative interference, and of this Mr. Vanderbilt
has a wholesome respect. It will be remembered that
when he sold a large block of Central stock, some time ago,
he gave as one of his reasons for doing so his desire to
have the stock as widely distributed as possible, so as not
to render himself open to the charge of running a
close corporation or a monopoly. Besides, until dividends
have been paid for three consecutive years upon the pre-
ferred stock, control of the Erie is retained by the Recon-
struction Trustees in London.
Money i» in abundant supply, and the demand is still
limited by reason of the short interest in the market.
The domestic exchanges show, however, that Chicago and
other Western cities have been drawing heavily upon NewYork, to aid, no doubt, in carrying on the speculation in
food staples at those points. The Treasury operations for
the week include the receipt of $300,000 gold from SanFrancisco. Taking this into the account, the Treasury
has gained $2,711,925, which is a loss to the banks.
The Assay Office has paid out $111,664 for domestic and
foreign bullion, and the following shows the daily receipts
by the Sub-Treasury from the Custom House.

OUB FOREIGN COMMERCE.
It is scarcely necessary to remark that the trade returns
for the fiscal year ended Juno 30, Just issued, are ex-
tremely favorable. The excess of merchandise exports
over imports reaches the large aggregate of $259,726,254,
or $92,042,342 more than in the previous fiscal year, and
has only once been exceeded, namely in the fiscal year
1878-79, when the excess was $264,661,666. Of the
balance in our favor there was wiped out by net importa-
tions of specie $91,168,650 in the year just closed, and
$75,891,391 in the previous year. There is thus an un-
liquidated balance of $168,557,604 this year, against
$91,792,521 the previous fiscal year. How much of this
is apparent only, it is of courso impossible to say. Yet it
is indisputable that as the balance is so much greater thanin the previous year, our ability to draw gold from Europe,other things being equal, should be increased.
The merchandise exports are tho largest on record, and,
strangely enougk, the merchandise imports are secondonly to those of the previous fiscal year, when the move-ment was swollen by the prevalence of the speculativemania in the early part of 1880. The size of the importsis surprising because prior to the panic these reached largeproportions and it was thought they would not be againequalled for a long timo to come. Previous to 1879-80
the largest total of imports was recorded in 1872-3, just
before tho panic, when the value was $642,136,210. Yetthe imports of the last year are $457,009 above these then
unprecedented figures. In the following table, showing the
trado movements for the past twenty-one years, tho
figures have been arranged in groups of five-year periods,
in order to bring out more strikingly the changes that
have taken place during that timo. The figures tell their
own story so well that we give them without comment.

It may be interesting to know also the relative standing
of tbe different leading ports, so we have had prepared
the subjoined table, showing each port's proportion of the
total imports and exports during the last two years.
The gain in the percentage of exports under the head of
"all other ports " is to be ascribed largely to the increased
cotton movement. For the same reason, in great part,
the percentage at New York has fallen off. New Orleans
gained chiefly from an augmentation in its breodstuffs ex-
ports. Following are the figures.

During June, the last month of the fiscal year, the ex-
ports fell off almost nine million dollars. This is ac-
counted for by a smaller cotton movement, a smaller bread
stuffs movement, and a smaller provisions movemenL Asto all these items it is to be said that the exports were very
heavy in the earlier months of the current calendar year,
which may explain the smaller totals now, though as to
provisions the higher prices current this year also were
a powerful factor in bringing about a decline in ship-
ments. Following is our usual statement.

FINANCIAL REVIEW OF JULY, 1881.
The month of July is the turning point of the year, and
is usually attended by some uncertainty of feeling in
regard to commercial and financial prospects. The grain
harvest m the Northern and Western States is just then
beginning, and the markets are full of rumors favorable
and unfavorable; Chicago in July is a place where veracity
is exceptional. This year it has been even more difficult
than usual to get at the real condition of the wheat crop,
or to estimate its probable out-turn, and as the prosperity
of the West, the railroad earnings, the foreign exchanges
and importation of gold, and, indeed, the general de-
mand for goods throughout the country, depend to some
extent on the grain crop, it is easy to see how closely the
markets hang on the result of the harvest.
The following summary shows the condition of the
New York Clearing House banks, rate of foreign ex-
change, and prices of leading securities and articles of
merchandise, on or about the 1st of August in 1879,
1880 and 1881:

The money market was easy throughout, and the large
disbursements from the Treasury and by corporations had
the usual effect of supplying a great abundance of funds
loanable on call.
The demand for investment securities was good and
prices of bonds were well maintained; but in speculative
stocks there was much fluctuation. There had been a
growing interest on the bear side, and when the news
came from Washington on July 2 that President Garfield
had been shot, there was naturally much confusion, and
prices fell ofi sharply. There was more steadiness the
next week, but on the President's relapse, July 23, another
attack was made on the market and prices were depressed
for a few days to the lowest point reached in the month,
and many of them to the lowest point of the year. Aquick re-action followed, and at the end of the month prices
were strong, at a considerable advance from the lowest
point. Eailroad earnings were large, and this assisted the
sharp recovery in prices.
Foreign exchange had a downward tendency, and the

I From our own correspondent.I
LosDos, Saturday, July 23, 1881.
,We have again had a week of exceptional heat, and business
j luu, in consequence, been greatly intermpted. On Tuesday
I
tke temperature in London was higher than the average
,temperature of Bombay, and as we make no preparations for sounturaal a circumstance, much inconvenience has been caused.Owing to the absence of any abundant fall o£ rain, the Water-
,works Companies are getting anxious, and in many parts of theMetropolis only a scanty supply of water is given. The twoprevious occasions when there was so protracted a droughtwere in 1870 and 1868, and those years were remarkable for thefine crops of wheat which were produced. The heat of theweather during the current month has brought the crops
\rapidly forward, and in early localities the harvesting of cerealshas already commenced. It is still believed that the crop of
.wheat will be of good quality, but variable in quantity. The
I bailey crop ia expected o /' "1 - , . . ory result, and the
potato crop will be fully an average. Hops promise well, andthere has been thus far a good yield of sound fruito ; but graiMand turnips have been poor crops, and hay is a very dear com-modity. Farmera are not entirely satisfied with their position
and prospects ; but, undoubtedly, the season is a Vast improve-ment over its predecessor, and some sound marketable producewill be available, which has not been the case for two years.
The annual show of the Royal Agricultural Socittty of Englandhas not equaled former shows in some respects, but more dairyproduce has been exhibited, which seems to indicate that fannersare turning more of their attention to the production of com-modities which have been neglected of late years, but whichforeign growers find it difficult to compete with. Fine oldcheeses and fresh butter still command a high price, the sup-ply being very limited. To produce them is a more laborious
occupation than the cultivation of wheat ; but farms will bemade to pay, and those commodities must be raised which are
the more likely to yield remunerative results.
The directors of the Bank of England have made no changein their rates of discount this week, and the minimum quota-tion remains, therefore, at 2}^ per cent. The money market is,
however, in a very easy condition, and the discount houses haveagain reduced their allowance of interest for deposits to 1 and1^ per cent at call and notice respectively. The rate of dis-
count in the open market is only l)i to 1% per cent, so that the
discount of choice bills is poor business when nearly the equiv-
alent is given for deposits. The discussion which has been
carried on respecting the amount of gold which Italy may drawfrom European countries, in connection with the loan recently
introduced, has led some to conclude that a reduction in the
Bank rate is doubtful ; and it seems very evident that only apossible demand for gold prevents a change being made. ABank rate of 2)^ per cent and an open market rate of IM to 1%per cent are an anomaly; but it must be borne in mind that
the directors of the Bank of England made a few years ago
some modifications and changes in their discount department,
and undertook—under certain conditions—to discount, if the
state of the market admitted of it, bills under their published
minimum. No doubt, they are pursuing that course now, andhence the present Bank rate of 2^ per cent must be regarded
as an almost nominal quotation. Money is now at a very low
point, and there seems to be no prospect of any improvement.
The following are the present quotations :

Some failures have been announced this week, the pnncipal
one being that of Messrs. Dnarte, Potter & Son, of Liverpool,
engaged in tne Brazilian trade. The liabilities are estimated at
about £150,000, and the difficulties are attributed to the absence
of remittances in connection with transactions in India-rubber.
The Crown Agents for the Colonies invHe tenders for Ceylon
Government 4 per cent debentures to the amount of £575,000,
being the balance of £1,000,000 authorized to be raised for the
construction Of a railway from Nawalapitiya to Nanu-Oya.
The loan is secured on the general revenue and public assets of
tke Colony, and the principal will be repaid by annual instalments
by means of a cumulative sinking fund of one per cent per
annum. The minimum price at which tenders will be accepted
is £102 per £100 debenture.
Messrs. Maddison & Co. offer for subscription $2,500,000
aeven per cent first mortgage bonds of the Texas Trunk Railroad
Company. The price of issue is 103 per cent, at 4s. the
dollar, or £206 per bond of $1,000. The railway commences at
tll« city of Dallas, and runs through several counties to a poin*
on the Gulf of Mexico at or near Sabine Point, an estimated
distance of 300 miles. A portion of the line from Dallas to
Kaufman, a distance of 34 miles, is in operation. The security
for the bonds consists of a first lien on all the property of the
company, and also a mortgage upon 8,960 acres per mile of
railway constructed.
Tenders for £800,000 debentures of the Oude & Rohilcund
Railway Company were opened yesterday, and allotted in full
at an average price of £101 7s. 8d. The applications above par
amounted to more than double the sum to be allotted.
Messrs. Baring Brothers & Co. and Messrs. Rothschild & Sons
have issued this week the prospectus of a new Indian railway
loan. It has met with a large amount of success, the applica-
tions being estimated at £21,000,000. The company, which is
entitled the Bengal Central Railway Company (limited), has
been incorporated with the object of carrying into effect a con"
tract with the Secretary of State for India for the construction
of a single track railway from Calcutta to Bongong, Jessore
and Koolna, with a branch from Bongong to Ranaghat—a total
length of about 180 miles.
Several other companies have been introduced to public
notice, but they are principally of domestic interest.
Notwithstanding the fine weather, the trade for wheatremains somewhat firm, though very quiet. ' Millers operate
with great caution, and only to supply actual wants. Harvest
work is now fairly in progress on the Continent, and is com-mencing in this country. British farmers are delivering verysmall supplies, and the large quantitie* of foreign producewhich are required to meet our wants before the new crop is
available induce holders to demand full prices, which are
obtained. The deliveries of home-grown produce in the UnitedKingdom last week were only 57,000 quarters, showing adiminution, even compared with the small supplies sent to mar-ket at this period last year.

NEW YOBK, FRIDAY. AUGUST 3. 1881-3 P. M.
The Money Market and Flnincial Sitaation.—The warm
weather has put a check on active business in the past few days,
and even aside from this quieting influence there has been less
than usual to disturb or animate the markets.
The principal topic of discussion just now Is in regard to the
•wheat harvest, and the reports concerning this are so various
that the matter can not be settled to the public satisfaction for
another month at least ; indeed, the markets will have to feel
the effects of new wheat before the talk of a scarcity will cease.
In the Northwestern States and in Dakota the spring-wheat
harvest is now in active progress, and by the first of September
tlie general result ought to be pretty well known. From Europe
come reports of a good average crop in almost every country
except Portugal and some parts of Prussia. Accounts from
Russia, the principal exporting country, report a crop fairly up
to the average.
On the stock market the freight war is still the most potent
force, and although Mr. Fink, the commissioner of the trunk
line pool, has called a meeting of the managers for August 10,
there does not appear to be much confidence that a settlement
of the difllculties will be arranged. The following is the text of
the circular issued on Wednesday by Commissioner Fink :" I am
requested by five of the general managers of Western roads to
call a meeting of the joint executive committee to consider the
caases which have led to the present ruinous war ef rates and
the means that should be adopted in the future to maintain the
tariffs established from time to time by this committee. In com-
pliance with this request, I call a meeting on Wednesday, the
10th of August, at 11 o'clock, at the office of the committee in
New York. Please let me know whether you will be pre-
sent or represented by an officer with full authority to act
for yon. Please answer at once so that in case a sufficient num-ber of companies cannot be represented at that time to transact
business, the meeting can be postponed and notice can be given
to that effect."
The money market has been quite easy and call loans abund-ant, within an extreme range of 2(g)4 per cent, according to the
borrower and the collateral. Prime commercial paper of two to
four months sells at 3 to 4^ per cent.
The Bank of England statement on Thursday showed adecrease of £1,000,000 in specie for the week, mainly owingto the Italian loan, and the percentage of reserve to liabilities
was 42>i against 45 7-16 last week; the discount rate is un-changed at 2)6 per cent. The Bank of France lost 1,025,000frahcs gold and gained 1,600,000 francs silver.
The last statement of the New York City Clearing-Housebanks, issued July 30, showed a decrease in the surplus abovelegal reserve of |47,975, the total surplus being |10,OSO,725,•gainst $10,078,700 the previous week.The following table shows the changes from the previous week
and a compariBon with the two preceding years

off again to-day. No further news from Nashville has been
received concerning the meeting of the Supreme Court.
Railroad bonds on a fair business are well maintained at their
high prices.

Exchange.—There is not much activity in foreign exchange,bnt the tone is firmer in consequence of the small supply ofeommercial bills. The high prices of wheat, pork and otherarticles are hindering exports, and hence the smaller amount of
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock markethas shown the characteristics of a mid-summer period, whenmany of the brokers and their customers are absent from town.
After showing considerable strength in the early part of this
week, and a well-sustained re-action from the bear movement of
last week, the market is again somewhat off, and prices to-dayare heavy. This appears to be less significant from the fact
that there is little activity in operations these warm day.s, and
Erices seem to droop from neglect rather than from vigorous
ammering, as before. Railroad earnings are generally showingvery well, and ever since the snows of winter melted (which wasabout the first of May in the Northwest), the companies havebeen making a handsome gain in traffic. Next week we shall
publish the extended monthly tables exhibiting the earnings for
the month of July and seven months of the present year, in com-parison with the corresponding periods in 1880. Tne injury, to
result from smaller grain crops is unquestionably exaggerated,
so far as the general traffic on all railroads is concerned, althoughit may be true this year, as in any year, that along the line of
some particular railroads a smaller crop may decrease the
earnings.On another page will be found the comjilete highest and low-
est range of stocks in June and July, and in view of the consid-
erable fluctuatioas in these months, the table will be found moreinteresting than usual.Reading has been one of the most prominent stocks this week,
and advanced sharply on the report of the financial schemeproposed by Mr. Bond, which is to be completed in details andsubmitted August 10. In order to float well their new securitjf«,
it would appear that the managers should hasten to put their
scheme in good shape and avail themselves of the present easy
.money market in New York and London.

Kansas City Fort Scott & Gnlf—Kansas City Springfield& Memphis.—Following is the circular regarding the extensionof the Kansas City Fort SCott & Gulf Railroad to Memphis
:
Boston, July 30, 1881.It iH proposed by certain parties to build a railroiid from Sprin^fflcld,
Mu. (tlie pi-eseut terminus o( the Fort Scott Soutlicastcrn & Mcmplii»Raili-oad), in a soutlieastcsriy direction to tlio Mississippi Kiver, oppositeMcmpliis, a distance of about 275 miles. To accomplish tliis purpose itis proposed to form two corporations—under tlie laws of Missouri andArkansas respectively—the two to be ultimately merged iuto one cor-poration, to be known i« the Kansas City SpringUeld & Memphis Kail- .
road Company.The country throuj?h which this road is projecied is characterized
in some sections by rich farming and cotton lands, and other sectlnnnarc rich in minerals and foresis of valuable oak and pine timber. It willfurnish a near outlet to the Mississippi River for the grain raised alongroads already constructed in Kansas and Mi««oari, and at a point belowwhich uavigution is never interrupted by ice or low water. Memphluwill be an important distributing point for the packinghouse Bro<luct8of Kansas City, and for hay, corn and flour tlirough all the SouthernStates east of the Mississippi River.The load will be constructed in all respects in s substantial manner,
with iron bridges, and steel rails weighing not less than flfty-six poundsper yard, and will be furnished with e<iiiipmcnt estimated to cost*7aO,000. Including the equipment, the ealiuiated cost of the road 1».$5,600,000.By nubscrlptions to stock of the coriMration to be formed under
the laws of Missouri (ultimately to be converted Into the stock of theconsolidated compauj), and by the issue of $d,000,000 first mortgageforty year six per cent l)ond» of the company when consolidated, to bepaid for in th» manner beninafter stated, it is proposed to raise $6,000,-000 in cash-a sum suflicient to meet the cost of construction andequipment, and the accruing interest v^hile under construction ; also forside tr.acks and branches if deemed expedient.In consideration of the additional business to accrue to the Kansas
City Fort BcOtt & Gulf Road from business going to and coming fromthe now line, it is proposed that the Kansas Ciiy Fort Scott & Gnlf Rail-road Company shall execute a tralHc contract with the Kansas CitySpringfield it. .Meniphi.s Railroad Company, agreeing to set aside fifteen(15) per cent of its gross earnings derived from business going tourcoining from the Kansas City SpringUeld & Memphis Road, fcrtbc termof forty years.The amount set aside under said traflic contract to be applied

Lake and Canal Hates in Jnne.—The Bnffalo CommercialAdoertuser says: " If any one entertains a doubt as to thedemoralizing influence of railway wars upon the transportationbusiness, it will be dispelled by a casual glance at the freightquotations and freight earnings. As already shown in the.so
columns, the rail rate from Chicago to New York before therupture [before navigation opened] was 35 cents a hundred, wi
i
grain. It is now from 10 to 12^ cents. The following state-'

" There is no material change in the general condition of
affairs this year from last, with the single exception that now
the railways are fighting and then they were working harmo-
niously. Large amounts of property were awaiting shipment
at the opening of navigation in both years, and the general
trade of the country was good in both instances. But the re-
sult of the railway conflict is that a season which promised
ffood returns has been turned into a most unsatisfactory and
Unprofitable one. In the month of June last year, the receipts
of grain at Buffalo by lake aggregated 18,514,000 bushels; in
the same month this year they were only 12,728,000 bushels. Theimmense business of last year was done at an average of 7"1
cents a bushel on wheat; this year the average was only 4-1 cents.
The aggregate receipts at Buffalo, from the opening of naviga-
tion to July 1, 1880, were 40,587.000 bushels; this year, 20,364,000
bushels. The average freight rate for the season of 1880, to
July 1, was 6 cents a bushel ; for 1881, to July 1, it was 4-4
cents. It appears then that lake vessels in the grain trade
earned in 1880, during the period indicated, $2,435,160 ; this
season they earned only $896,016, which is a loss of $1,539,144."
Long Island—Flushing & North Shore.—Subsequent to
the foreclosure of the first mortgage on the Flushing & North
Shore Railroad, the Long Island City & Flushing Railroad Com-pany was organized and took charge of the ruad, which runs
from Long Island City, b^ way of Flushing, to Whitestone.
The company has leased its property and franchises to the
Long Island Railroad Company for 50 years.
—rhe extension of the Brooklyn & Montauk line from Patch-
ogne, N. Y., eastward to Moriches on the Sag Harbor branch of
tne main line (13 miles) is now completed. This forms a line
along the south side of the island from Jamaica to Sag Harbor,nearly parallel all the way with the original road through the
centre of the island from Jamaica to Greenport.
Maronette Houghton & Ontonagon.—This company hascalled $1,750,000 of its first mortgage 6 per cent bonds for pay-ment and cancellation with the proceeds of the sale of its landgrant, and from fifty to one hundred thousand more will becalled and canceled. The cash return to the company fromthe sale ot its land grant after deducting commissions, ex-penses, etc., is about $2,400,000, and the $500,000 or $600,000not used to cancel the 6 per cent bonds will be retained by theNew England Trust Company for the redemption and cancella-tion of the 8 per cent bonds now la price beyond the reach ofthe trustees of the land grant.

—The Philadelphia North American says of this plan :" A
gentleman who somehow managed to get a look at the printed
form of the scheme, but who did not examine it closely, says
his impression is that only the $60,000,000 of three per cent
bonds are to be entitled to 6 per cent when earned, and not the
$40,000,000 of four-and-a-half per cents. The four-and-a-
ialfs, however, take precedence of the threes, so it virtually
amounts to $40,000,000 of first preferred stock and $60,000,000
of second preferred, with $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 of newcommon, the latter being the only one of the three issues
really called stock. The new bonds are to be exchanged for
the old, and holders of such of the latter as are well
secured will receive a bonus of new stock, said to bethree to five shares for every $10,000 of bonds, accord-
ing to the market value of the old bonds. The receipts fromthe sale of such of the new stock and bonds authorized as will
not be required to satisfy the old bondholders will be morethan enough to pay the floating debt. The total liabilities of
the company, except the common and preferred stock now out-
standing, are $93,540,318 86 ; liabilities of Coal & Iron Com-pany, exclusive of capital stock, $65,326,668 19 ; total bothcompanies, $158,866,987 05. The Coal & Iron Company'sdebt includes $39,737,965 53 in bends and mortgages held bythe railroad company and $7,148,681 61 of the railroad com-pany's loan and toll account, making a total of $46,886,647 14due from the former to the latter. This will reduce the debtof the whole Reading interest, regarded as a joint concern,
and apart from capitalization, to $111,980,339 91. Messrs.McCalmont Bros. & Co. hold about ten millions of the generalmortgage, and will thus be entitled to receive a considerableaddition to their holdings of stock."
Postal Telegraph Company.—A company has been organizedwith a capital of $21,000,000.#JamesR. Keene is President, andthe largest stockholders are said to be Mr. Keene, ex-PresidentVictor Newcomb, of the Louisville & Nashville ;;James O'Brien,of California, and George D. Roberts and European capitalists.
The prospectus promises to have lines equivalent in workingcapacity to the present Western Union system in operation byJanuary, 1883. This they expect to accomplish by the use ofpatents on a new system of automatic and fae-simile telegraph,the owner of which is said to have received $1,000,000 for theexclusive privilege obtained by the company, and which enablesthem, they say, to do all the profitable telegraph business ofthe country on 30,000 miles of wire, now done on 250,000 miles.
They contemplate a system of postal telegraph stamps for longmessages and letters, and the fac-simile feature of their patentsenables music, drawings, signatures, &c.. to be received elactlyas written or made. 'Ihey also own the Gray harmonic system,which allows seven messages to be sent simultaneously over asingle wire, in the same or opposite direction, each messagebeing sent, as it were, in a different key or tone from the others.
This embraces the Way duplex system, by which any numberof stations on a line may communicate with each other on asingle wire on which through business is simultaneously beingdone. The company has also bought the patents for the com-pound wire used by the American Rapid Telegraph Company,with the machinery and appliances used in its manufacture, aswell as the factory. The price paid is said to have been$1,500,000. This purchase will prevent the American RapidTelegraph Company from extending their lines, except uponterms stipulated by the Postal Telegraph Company. The esti-
mated cost of the company's lines, carrying 30,000 miles ofwire, with all equipments, office repairs and incidentals, is
$15,000,000.—rAe Public.
Richmond & Alleghany—Ohio Central.—The syndicatecommittee has agreed to issue to each subscriber for $10,000 ofconstruction loan, $8,000 first mortgage 6 per cent forty-yearbonds, $8,000 7 per cent non-cumulative income bonds and$10,000 stock of consolidated companies. Securities will beprepared immediately and issued when 50 per cent of sub-scriptions have been paid in. A call for 10 per cent, payableat Metropolitan Bank August 15, is made. A contract has beenlet for the building of the river division, and engineers havebeen on the ground, examining into the site for the proposedbridge across the Ohio River.
Rutland Railroad.—The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Rutland Railroad Company was held at Rutland, Vt.,
July 27. Mr. G. M. Barnard, of Boston, stated that next yearthe income of the corporation will be $269,784, the expendi-tures only $192,600, leaving nearly $78,000, which will pay adividend of $2 per share on the preferred stock. After deduct-ing the dividend already declared, there would still remain inthe treasury $29,000. The company, therefore, could in Januarynext, if thought best, declare a second dividend of $1 50 pershare on the preferred stuck. The condition of the road June30, 1881, was as follows:

The business for tha autumn season opens with considerableaotivitr, and notwithstanding the prevalence of moat nnoom-fortabla weather, mak'-s fair progress, with the promise ofsatisfactory results. The apeculative " corners " in such im-portant staples as cotton, oats and lard have practically ended,and the chief speculative interest is now directed largely towheat and com. The reports from President Garfield continueto give encouragement of his early recovery.

The weakening of speculative interest in lard has left thewhole market for "hog products" comparatively dull j yet thedeclines in the different descriptions, except lard, are very slight,
if any, owing to the bad prospects of the corn crop, ana theadvancing value of that staple. To-day pork was entirelynominal j mess offered at $17 95®$18 for this and the next twomonths. Lard was a shade firmer, but receded, with optionsclosing at $11 47^ for Aug.. |11 52>6 for Sept., $11 55 for Oct.,
$11 15 for Nov. and $11 02>:^@$11 05 seller the year. Refinedfor the Continent quoted at $11 55. Bacon and cut meats arescarce and firm. Beef and beef hams remain quiet. Butterstill tends upward. Cheese is without essential change. Tallowhas met with a moderate demand at firm prices,'
Rio coffee has been much more active, and prices hare ad-vanced to 1154@12^c. for fair to prime cargoes—an advance of^@%c. per lb The stocks in first hands in the United Statesare reduced to 106,000 bags, but purchases and the quantityafloat and loading are 217,000 bags. Slild grades have alsobeen much more active at firm prices, but stocks are still liberal.
Rice has been steady. Some of the new crop has been received atNew Orleans. The tea sales this week have gone at full
prices, and two cargoes of new crop have arrived. Molassesremains nominal, and 50-test is quoted at 34^c. Raw sngaishave been verv dull, and fair to good refining grades areeasier, but stiU quoted at 7%@7?4c ; No. 12 boxes, 8@8}^c.,and centrifugal, S%@8%e. Refined has met with a fair tfade,
and to-day prices are firm at 10@10%c. for hards.
There has at length been a movement of some importance in
Kentucky tobacco, and salts for the week amount to 3,000 hhds.,
of which 2,800 for export and 200 for home consumption. Thesales for export are understood to be for accouat of the Spanishcontract, recently awarded to a Paris house. Prices are veryfirm, and iugs are quoted at 5(gi5^c., and leaf 5M@12)6c. Thebusiness in seed leaf has also been a pretty full one, and sales
aggregate 2,400 cases for the week, as follows: 500 cases 1880
crop, Pennsylvania, assorted lots, 12@20c.; 400 cases 1879 crop,
Pennsylvania, 10@40c.; 300 cases 1880 crop. New England,including seconds, 10(912^c., and Havana seed, private terms;
350 cases 1879 crop. New England wrappers, 15@30c.; 100 cases
1879 crop, Flats, private terms; 150 cases 1880 crop, Wisconsin,
Havana seed, private terms; and 600 cases 1880 crop, Ohio, 5>i@6Mc. Also, 800 bales Havana at 8'.c.@$l 20.
Naval stores have remained firm, and although rosins havebeen rather quiet, strained to good strained grades are still
well supported at $2@$2 07?^, and spirits turpentine at the
close was advanced to 43c. in yard in sympathy with the South-
ern markets and the reduced offerings here. Petroleum oathe contrary has been dull and closed weak at 7^6c. for refined
in bbls., and crude certificates, after a fair speculation athigher figures, fell back to 75%c. bid. Ingot copper remains
firm at 16>^@16''6c. for Lake. Steel rails are very actively
called for ; sales of 100,000 tons are reported for 1882 delivery ;
the quoted figures at tidewater are $55@$60 ; iron rails are
also active at |47@$49, and old iron have received fair atten-
tion and close firm at $27@$30. Lead has been active at 4%&4 '90c., but closed strong at 5c. for common domestic. Hops are
steady and a fair trade to brewers is reported. The crop
reports apparently indicate a slight short^e in the crop for
1881. Wool has continued very quiet and pnces rule weak andirregular.

Ocean freights hare been more actively inquired for, and.owing
to moderate supplies of tonnage rates, rule higher and firm.

• Included in tbis amount there are 2.50 bales at presses for foreignports, tbe destiQa.ion of whiob we cannot learn.
The bull movement in cotton for early delivery, having its
origin in the needs of Great Britain, seems to have culminated
in the fore-part of the week under review, when August sold at
12'25c., against 10'45c,, the lowest figure of the season; Septem-
ber at 11-43C. and October at 10'76c. Since Monday the market
has been variable and unsettled, but in the aggregate showing
some decline. There is, however, no pressure to .sell the next crop.
Exceptional weakness was caused in September contracts by the
forcing weather at the South and indications that the next crop
will be a comparatively early one. Yesterday the opening wasweak, but the bull party again became buyers, and the close wasslightly dearer. To-day there was a further advance, on reports
of excessive rains on the eastern portion of the Gulf coast. Cot-
ton on the spot advanced /^c. on Saturday, and again on Mon-day, to 12>^c. for middling uplands; this advance checked busi-
ness, and the market became dull and weak. Y'esterday the
medium and better grades declined 1-lGc. and the lower grades
>^@5-16e. To-day the market was quiet and unchanged, mid-dling uplands closing at 12 l-16c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 371,900
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week4,377 bales, including 735 for export, 2,826 for consumption,
816 for speculation and — in transit. Of the above, — bales
were to arrive. The following are the official quotations and.sales for jach day of the past week.

The above figures indicate an increase in the cotton in sightto-night of 347,187 bales as compared with the same date of 1880,an increase of 641,949 bales a;s compared with 1879 and an i/i-
crease of 589,256 bales as compared with 1878.In the preceding visible supply table we have heretofore only
iacluded the interior stocks at the seven original interior towns.As we did not have the record of the new interior town-s for the/our years, we could not make a comparison in any other way.That difficulty no longer exists, and we therefore make the fol-
lowing comparison, which inclades the stocks at the nineteentowns given weekly in our table of interior stocks instead of onlythe old seven towns. We shall continue this double statement for
a time, but finally shall simply substitate the nineteen towns forthe seven towns m the precedmg table.

BRE ADSTUFFS.Friday. P. M., Aug. 5, 1881.
The flour market has been at times quite active for export,
and prices of low and medium grades have had a hardening
tendency ; the high grades, however, have barely maintained
values, and generally the movement has been moderate.
Western millers look for higher prices, and limit their offerings
as much as possible, but the demand, whenever active, is fit-
fully so.
The wheat market was dull early in the week, but a renewal
of orders from the Continent and the smaller movement at the
West, as compared with last summer, had a hardening effect
upon values, and yesterday the bull party to the speculation
developed unexpected vigor and confidence. There is no longer
any doubt that the wheat crop of the United States east of the
Mississippi River is a short one, yet not so short as to threaten
a scarcity, but sufficient to prompt farmers to hold back sup-
plies and give sellers the advantage until the movement of the
crop shall become more general. To-day the tendency was still
upward, No. 2 red winter selling at ?1 29@$1 29?^ for Septem-
ber and $1 31%@$l 31% for October, but clo-sing quieter.
Rye is firmly held. Barley is expected to open lower than
last year, owing to the large crop.
Indian corn has also had an upward tendency, owing to un-
satisfactory crop prospects and a general feeling that values
are low. To-day prices were decidedly higher on the spot,
with futures quite buoyant. No. 2 mixed selling at 63@63>ic.
for September and 65%@65^c. for October.
Oats were comparatively dull and unsettled early in the
week, following the "corner" on July contracts ; but speculation
revived and to-day there was much activity in contracts, with
sales of No. 2 mixed at 40c. for August, 385/6@39Mc. for Sep-
tember and 39%@39%o. for October ; and No. 2 graded on the
spot closed at 46c. for white and 45?^c. for mixed.
The following are closing quotations:

116 to U. S. of Colombia, 104 to Uayti, &o. The moTement onaccount of former orders was continued on a liberal scale, andthere was a steady hand-to-mouth demand for a-ssorted parcels
of plain and colored cottons, cotton flannels, &c., but few large
transactions were reported, and there was not the least ten*
dency toward speculation. Stocks of brown, bleached and col-
ored cottons are unusually light, and nearly all makes of cotton
flannels are sold ahead for the next two months. Prices re-
mained very Arm on all staple cotton goods, and a slight ad-
vance was made upon a few makes of medium bleached goods.
Print cloths were dull with a weakening tendency, the marketclosing at 3>^c., lessa small discount, for extra 64x648, and 3 !>-16o.
flat for &6x60s. Prints were in fair but irregular demand at
opening prices, and there was a satisfactory morement in dress
ginghams and cotton dress fabrics.
Domestic Woolbs Qoodb.—Agents were fairly employedduring the week in making delireries of clothing woolens,
flannels, blankets, &c., on account of former orders, but newbusiness in such goods was comparatively light. The most
desirable makes of heavy cassimeres and suitings, worsted
coatings, overcoatings, &c., are in most cases sold ahead, andprices are consequently firm. Cloakiogs were in fair but some-
what irregular demand, and repellents were mostly quiet.
Kentucky jeans were a trifle more active, and a fair business
was reported in all grades. Flannels and blankets continned
to move steadily at firm prices, and there was more inquiry for
shawls and felt skirts. Worsted dress c^oods were fairly active,
but prices are low and in many cases unremunerative to manu-facturers. Carpets met with considerable sales and values are
steadily maintained.
FoREiQN Dky Goods have shown rather more activity in first
hands, but the demand was confined to comparatively few lines
of goods. Fancy dress fabrics have been more active, and fair
sales of staple dress goods were reported by importers. Silks
were more sought for, and there was a fair movement in cottoa
velvets. Linen and white goods ruled quiet, and embroideries
and laces are in moderate request by manufacturers and the
trade. For fine cassimeres and suitings there was a fair inquiry
by clothiers and merchant tailors, but woolen goods generally
were lightly dealt in.
Importations or Dry Goods.The importations of dry goods at this port for the week
ending Aug. 4, 1881 and since January 1, and the same facts
for the corresponding periods of 1880, are as follows;

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.FaiDAT, p. M., Aug. 5, 1881.
There was an active undertone to the dry goods trade the
past week, and the volume of business, if not quite ap to expec-tations,was at least fairly satisfactory. A large distribution of
drees goods and ginghams was made by agents representingmost of the leading domestic manufacturers, and prints con-tinned in fair request, but staple cotton aid woollen goods ruledquiet and steady, the larger buyers being pretty well stocked up,
the present. Foreign goods have received rather more atten-
tion from early buyers, but transactions were only moderate in
the aggregate. The condition of the market has not materiallychanged, and it retains all the firmness of tone reported of late,
stocks of nearly all kinds of manufactured goods being excep-tionally light in view of the large demand for consumption in
pronp«ct. The jobbing trade has slightly improved owing tothe arrival of a fair number of retail buyers from remote pointsIn the South and West, but no real activity in this branch of thebusiness is looked for until about the middle of the month.
DojfESTic Cotton Goods.—The export demand for cottongoods was fairly active and some large orders were booked forfuture delivery, but the shipments for the week were only 828packages, of which 348 were sent to Africa, 136 to Great Britain,
