Thursday Evening, Oct. 16, 1877.»
This has been a dull day in all branches of
trade. The weather has been *et aDd disa-
greeable. In the cotton market there has
been a good demand, sales amounting to 2236
bales at unchanged quo atiors Liverpool
advanced ordinary and good ordinary
l-16d., and with this exception the position of
prices in all the leading markets, for future?,
as well as spot, differ only trivially from yes-
terday's closing quotations.
Silver advanced to 54^d. at the close in
London to-day. The opening quotation was
54 l-16d. The Baufc of England rate remains
5 per cent., but in open market the figure is
down to 4% per cent. The Bank proportion
of reserve to liabilities, which last week was
35^6 per cent., is now 36}£ per cent.
The Bank of France reports a decrease in
weekly balance to-day of 17,300,000 francs.
SMITH, EDWARDS & CO.'8 SEPTEMBER
OIRCULAR-THE KECENT FLUCTUA-
TIONS FORESEEN—THE PROS AND
CON8 CONCERNING COTTON.
Samuel Smith, who edits Smith, Edwards &
Co.'s Liverpool Monthly Cat ton Circular,
writes as follows, under date of:
Liverpool, 8ept. 29, 1877.
Our market has undergone a graat change
of tone during the past m«*nth, and with a
large business doing prices have advanced ^
©%d. per pound.
At the d«-te of our la?t report the feeling
was still depressed, though prices were show-
ing: more steadiness. Middling uplands on the
spot were auoted id., and shipments and de-
liveries of new crop at 5 15 16d. The excess-
ive depression in Manchester, and the wide
extension of short time overruled the strong
position of supply, and merchants generally
expected lower prices as the season ad-
vanced.
effect of THE bureau report.
All th'S nas been entirely reversed. The
first influence in favor of i he market wan the
very small receipts of new cotton at the Amer-
ican portp, wh ch brought to light the fact
that the crop wan later than any one had sup-
?ooed; besides this the reports of damage
rom werms ani other causes grew louder,
and the expectation of a big crop, so gener-
ally entertained in Augusr, was greatly
shaken. But the public were not prepared
for the change for the worse indicated by the
bureau report to September l*-t, which gave
an oir>p.ira dAnHifinn nf Sft no-ajntt. Qi tha nm.
an average condition of against the pre-
vious month and 1* last year. This brought
on a decided speculative movement, the trade
a^ last entered the market freely, arrival cot
ton came into strong demand, and for the
E**t three we»ks our market has steadily
ardened, with a good daily business, and
prices have advanced %d. for American and
Vid. for Surats from the lowest point. The
announcement of stock yesterday gave a
slight impetus to the market, the great de
crease of 51,000 bales in the stock of Ameri-
can strengthening the position materially,
but any decided advance was prevented by
the free selling of futures on American ac-
count, and the market closes quietly to-day
and without much buoyancy at bKd. for mid-
dling uplai ds Qn the spot, and 634d. for near
deliveries and shipments.
THE POSITION OF MANCHESTER.
The po-ition of Manchester ouring the past
month has in no respect improved; the rise in
Liverpool has foraed on a certain amount of
business, and price* have been pushed up
about as much as the raw material, but the
margin to the soiuner and manufacturer re-
mains utterly inadequate to cover the cost of
produ lion, and w« regret to say that during
mos of the year the bulk of the machinery in
Lancashire has been turning round at a con-
stant loss. We have not known since the Ame-
rican war so protracted and hopeless a ttate
of bad trade. Short time has been largelv re-
sorted to in »ome districts, but s j far with no
appreciable benefit to the producer, and now
—apparently in desperation—the leading
spinning district, O dnam, is resuming full
time after inducing the operatives to accept
the trifling reduction of five per cent, in their
wages A careful calculation published in the
Manchester papers showed that a rednction
of forty four per cent in wages would only
suffice to cover tho spinner from loss at the
present price of yarn! Calls are being made
largely on the co-operative concerns to re-
plenish iheir working capital, and every symp-
tom Is shown of the painful tension to which
our leading industry is subjected. To thoe*
who know the trade it will be hufflclent to say
that the margin between middling uplands
and fair 32s twist has not been more than
2^d, to 3^d. per pound for a long, while it is
well known that a margin of is
required to make the trade moderately
profitable. The manufacturers of average
shirtings and heavy domestic* are equally ill
ofT, and with but few exceptions the position
of tho trada is simply ruinous It is difficult
to account for this of things fu'lv, but
nothing has contributed to it more than the
rapid extension of machinery at Oldham. Un-
der the stimulus of the co-operative principle
probably one or two nilMons of spindles have
been added from thi« c^use in excess of the
demand, and it is not too much to say that
this over supply, of say 5 per cent, in the pro-
ducing power, has lowered the value of the
*• pi&nt employed in the cotton trade of Lan-
cashire by ^5 per cent Along with this has
happened a universal depression of trade in
Europe »nd America, now lasting for three
years or more, aggravated latterly by the
Kuaso-Tu'-kish war and the Indian famine.
How far this state of things is likely to con-
tinue it is difficult to saj; there is little day-
light at present, hut very sudden changes of-
ten c jme over the face of the market, and it is
not forgott* n h >w great a rise occurred after
a time of deep depression in the autumn of
last year.
THE MONEY MARKET.
The monev market his shown little change
during the past month, and the bank rate re-
mains at 3 per cent., but: man symptoms are
appa-ent which point to a marked change iu
the future. The first of these is our bad har-
vest, and the necessity of importing at unpre
cede nted quantity of food from abroad the
coming season. We fear it will be found that
the yield of our cereal crops is one of the
poorest for many years, and the potato crop
is al o a failur*. Fortunately America has
large *rain crops, and as the Black fcea is
closed we will depend to an extraordinary ex-
tent upon her supply. It is to be hoped it will
be sufficient to prevent extreme prices, but we
must say that the prospects are such as to
cause more uneasiness than for many year*
past. We have no doubt that the drain upon
our money market will be very heavy sooner
or Jafer, f >r our export trade is so depressed
and deel ni g, both in quantitv and value,
that we have no equivalent but hard cash to
pay for additional imports
THE SILVER MARKET.
The next point that deserves attention is
the silver market. The exigencies of the
famine have s > reduced the cash balances of
the Indian government that th^ C^un il drafts
on the Indian treasury have been suspended,
and a loan of thre millions is beiLg nego-
tia ei in London. In the ordinary course of
trade the home charges for India, amounting
to some fifteen millions annually, are defrayed
by tbose Council bills, and they furnish, along
with silver, a means of remittance to pay for
the large surplus value of Indian exports.
Just to the extent that these bids cease to be
d'-awn silver is required for remittance, and
a readv the price is rising in London, a>«d the
r fcte of exAa 'ge on Calcutta has advanced to
1<. 9 11 161. The German government is well
kaown to have a large amount of silver still to
dispose of, and w*ll no doubt avail of this fa-
vorable opportunity and withdraw gold from
London in exchange. Consequently our bank
will be exposed to a double drain, and as its
bullion and reserve are each ten millions
lower than at this time last ypar, a serious
mouetary disturbance is far from unlike y.
In view of these circumstances the present
rate of interest must be regarded as quite too
low.
THE ALTERED OUTLOOK.
The prospects of our market nave changed
considerably during the last month, and the
feeling theu so general in favor of low prices
durii g the coming st ason has almost passed
away. The cause of this is entirely the
changed outlook of American cotton supply,
and not at all an improvement of trade.
THE LATENESS OF THE CROP.
The lateness of the American crop surpasses
all expectation, the receipts to date being
less than any vear since 1871. when the crop
turned out 2,974,003 bnles, and fa^ below what
they were for several years before the Ameri-
can war. It is, however, very unsife to in-
dulge in estimates of cr. »p founded upon early
receipts; it happens not unfreijuently that
la'ge early receipts indicate a crop prema-
turely ripened by drouth, while late receipts
arise from a healthier growth and larger
yield. L«ooking back for a long period we can
trace little connection between the scale of
receipts in September or October and the ul-
tim -te result of crop. {Sometimes, as in 1871,
we had small early receipts and a small crop,
and sometimes, as in 1870, we have witnessed
light early receipts and yet a monster crop.
We think mote weight is to be attached to the
general scope of the reports r» garding the
crop, and we are sorry to say that a marked
change has occurred for the worse since July
and August.
REDUCTION OF CROP ESTIMATES.
At that time the accounts were highly fa-
vorable, and sanguine guesses were indulged
*n, even as much -is fi^e millions being talked
cf as possible Since then great ravages have
been Committed by worms, espec ally in
Texas, where the expectation of yield has
fallen off one-third, and from other places
come great complaints of rust and drouth.
We should say that milliens is now the pre-
vailing guess among conservative people in
America, and the Bureau report for Septem-
ber ratner points in that direction, indicating
as it does a condition 4 to 5 per cent below
last year, while it puts the increase of acre-
age at 4 per cent. It is well, h >wever, to re-
member that invariable experience testifies
that reports of damage at this season are
most deceptive—i often happens that a fine
long picking season repairs the apparent in
jury, and probably as much as half a million
of bales depends upon the weather in the
Dext three months.
EFFECT OF A LATE FROST.
No doubt, owing to the extraordinary late
ness of the crop, early frost would do much
damage, but fortunately it happens that in late
season^ frost is usually ling of coming; last
year killing frost occurred in many districts
on 1st and 15th of October, a*d was belie ed
to have done great damage, but in reality the
cr -p was almost malured. and suffered far
less thau supposed. We will need this year to
escape kill!/g frost till December in oreer to
make a large crop, but in that eveDt we
should still hope for a yield above last year.
the question of supply.
One thing is coming to be clearly seen, our
ootton supply needs to be largely increased,
e'se the trade will drift Into an awkward posi-
tion. The deficit discovered in our stock,
combined with all the small receipts in Amer-
ica, are making an ugly gap in the visible
supply; it is now about 400,000 bales less than
last year, and unfortunately spinners hold
considt-rably lesp. At the end of last season
c >ntiuent*l spinners were well stocked; this
year they are empty. Our spinners have added
about 40,000 bales since 1st September; but
then they had not a bale to spare. We should
think the invisible supply must be at least
100,000 bales below last year. The conclusion
we are forced to is that the world has con-
sumed during the past twelve months 300,000
to 400,COO bal*s more than its supply of cotton,
in spite of bad trade and much short time
both in England and the Continent, and we
will require for the coming season an Ameri-
can crop of at least four and three-quarter
millions, and also a large addition from India,
simply to meet consumption. Our reserves
of stock in Europe this year are uncomforta-
bly small. We will evidently reaoh a period
in November, or earlv in December, when our
American supply will be reduced to a hand-
ful; that may not matter much if pleDty is
then coming forward and crop accounts im-
proved but it will be a serious thing if crop
accounts should be poor.
POOR MANCHESTER.
On the other side, It is quite true that Man •
Chester is unsble to pay as advance on cotton
in the present wre ched state of trade. The
rise of prices is a grave misfortune, and is ex
ceedingly to be regretted when looked at from
this point of view; but viewing the matter
broadly, it apDears to us that prices of Man-
chester products have been allowed to sink
far too low The world will not grow a suffi-
cient quant?ty of cotton to produce an unlim-
ited su ply of calico at lOd. per pound—a
price far below what ruled for many years be-
fore the American war. Our cotton supply
from all places except Kgypt and America is
drying up under the discouraging prices that
have ruled, and we need large and increasing
supplies from these countries to give the spin-
dles an adequate supply
DOUBTS AND POSSIBILITIES.
This fact wM more and more press on the
atiention of the trade, but the losses and dis-
courage ment of the pa«t few years have been
s* great that extreme timidity will be the rule
for a long time te come, and should receipts
become large, and crop prospects improve
after a while, it would not surprise us to see
the present advance temporarily lost. For
the most part, movements started at this
time of the year end in disappointment, and
unless a substantial improvement takes place
in Manchester trade the late advance may
prove to be premature We hope, however,
that the copious rains that have fallen in most
parts of India, combined with the rising ten-
dency of silver, may pave the way for better
trade next year. Could we see an end to this
dreadful war, a more cheerful view might be
indulged in, but it must be admitted thst there
is little prospect of peace at present, and the
only consolation is that the other Powers of
Europe are less and less likely to be involved
in the strife.
In the general market to-day there was a
moderate demand for staple provisions. Quo
tations of baeon, sugar, potatoes and onions,
as revised, will be found under the appropriate
headings.
COTTON.
The Liverpool spot market opened with a
fair business at previous prices, and at the
close prices were advanced ^d on ordinary
and l-16d on good ordinary, pri"es for the
other grades remaining unchanged. Sales
12.000 bales, including 8450 bales of American.
Tne market for arrivals opened l-32d lower,
and closed steady, a comparison with yester-
d*y's closing prices showing a partial decline
of 1 32d.
The New York spot market op >ned with
nothing doing and prices nominally un-
changed. but ruled steadier and closed firm.
Sales only 648 bales, and all to spinners. Fu-
tures opened quiet, wer* firmer on the first
call, ruled steady and higher on the second
and third calls, but closed weak at a very
small advance over yesterday's closing
prices. Sales 38,900 bales.
The New Orleans market closed steady and
unchanged, with sales of 2000 bales.
In this market sales to the extent of 8236
bales were reported, which includes 630 bales
taken after 'change yesterday. The Exchange
made no alteration in prices and budetined
the market as closing "firm."
