Much of the recent rise in the price of Western rail- Toad stocks is due to the belief by professional specu- Jators in an active export demand for wheat during this Winter and a consequent Irerease of business for the | Railroads. Of the probabilities of such a movement | ‘Deing greater or smaller than it was last season, and of | its effects upon the railroads during the close of inland | mavigation, the readers’ of the Herazp, after an ex- mination of the understated facts, will be quite as competdnt to form an opinion as are the speculators ‘who are loaded with fancy stocks in anticipation of selling them to the public at profit. The quantities of wheat in sight at the principal Points, at latest dates, compare with those of last year as follow: Now. 14, 1874, Nov. 13, 1875, Bushels, Bushels, An port of New York. 3,752, 054 4,001, 923 ©n New York canals 451,400 2,669,000 On New York railroads. 100,000 + 964,000 Totals... + 6,603,054 at Chicago, seaees) 909,887 1,100,000 | At Milwaukee - 19 100,000 Totals... -1,184,226 1,800,000 Thus the quantity of WHEAT ‘tm and en route to New York is nearly 2,800,000 bushels greater than one year ago, and the quantities @t Chicago and Milwaukee—the principal Western points of shipment—are 616,000 bushels more, So Much for the position on this side of the Atlantic. Turning to the other side, the weight of evidence Beems to be strongly against a short supply in any wountry other than Great Britain. English ac- founts speak of liberal importations from France, while the reports from Odessa—the prin- cipal port of Southern Russia—show that the receipts and shipments from September 1 to October 23 were #0 per cent greater than for the same period in 1874, and ffom the Baltic ports the accounts show an in- greased export of about 8,000,000 bushels, The im- ports of wheat into the United Kingdom of Great Britain, from September 1 to October 23, 1875, have been 11,210,551 cwt, against 7,334,045 in 1874, an in- frease of 3,875,806 owt. in the first fifty-five days of the new crop year. The fact that we have noi con- Sributed anything toward vhis increased tmportation Is directly traceable to our use of an “unexportable” money, the superabundance of which has enabled specu- lators to hold our price above the other markets of the | world, THE STOCK MAREET to-day" nas verified the correctness of the intimation frequently given in this column, that it Was a market tn which it was much easier vo buy a large quantity of Btock than to sell it.

The stock isto be taxed fifty cents a sbare, and the certificates to which tho receipts for this amount aro attached are to be marked as “‘assenting stock,’? and, if possible, placed on the list of the Stock Exchange under this added name. The committee are authorized to receive any proposition which may be made by the bondholders looking to an amicable settlement. Rumors were prevalent concerning early proceedings to place Erie in bankruptcy, and it 1s said that tho pa- pers are prepared for the purpose. We fail to trace the gossip to a trustworthy source. The annual meeting of the Boston and Providence Railroad Company was held in Boston to-day. The gross receipts for the current year were $1,581,268 31, @ decrease from last year of $106,020 88. The ex- penses, however, were but $1,216,476 11, a reduction of $67,027 66. No further developments have taken place in the pending contest between the Panama and Pacific Mail companies.

Railroad... 1,000,000 $16,750,000 Tho four steamers on the Atlantic and the seven on the Pacific side should be 8,500 tons, capable of carry- tng 200 cabin and 300 steerage passengers, and 2,500 tons of freight, leaving New York and San Francisco every Saturday and making the trip in twenty days. Tho nine steamers should be of 1,600 tons, and builtes. pressly for the Central and South American trade, to carry 75 cabin and 100 steerage passengers and 1,000 tons of freight, and to be employed as follows:—Two for the Central American trade, three fora monthly line be- tween Panama and San Francisco, calling at all Central American, Mexican and California ports; four for the South American trade, between Panama and Valpa- raiso, nearly all of which now goes through the Straits of Magollan, At this time iron is selling for less than: the cost of production, and labor is and probably will be at a lower prico for the next twelve months than for several years to come, Such being the case, there can bo no depreciation on the investment, and all the steamers should be built and equipped for the sums. estimated, and better, for strength, workmanship and. speed, than any steamers afloat. sAnother great advantage would be that this line would be under @ single management, thereby doing away with the duplicate agencies and expenses at New York, Aspinwall and Panama, and would have less difficulty in making a satisfactory through tariff for freight and passengers than now, when the overland railroads are giving to the Panama route as little busi- ness a8 possible, ‘he Panama Railroad directors are in a situation to know exactly what business the Pacific Mail Steamship Company did during the time they were running in opposition to the Overland Railroad Company, and what they are doing now, and are therefore well able to judge of the expediency of putting on the new line. Any one comparing the annual increase of tonnage by the overland railroads, since they were completed, by the isthmus and by sailing vessels around Capo Horn, will readily see that the Panama Railroad direc- tors aro too conservative when they propose to put on only eight steamers, and they will soon tind that the necessities of the trade will compel them to increase the line as I have suggested. Tundertake to say that the new steamers, as pro- Png with freight at $20 per ton from New York to an Francisco, $100 for cabin and $50 for steerage passengers, will pay very handsome profits, and the continued growing trade and largely increased traffic be- tween the Atlantic and the Pacitic are a guarantee that the steamers will go full at these rates. Whether the railroads, with their enormous bonded debts, can afford to curry freight and passengers at these’ prices and then pay dividends on their watered stock, remains to be seen after the new line is tairly established. Several directors of the Panama Railroad believe that. their route is the most economical for the Pacific bu: ness, and are of opinion that the road would earn and pay six per cent quarterly dividends it equipped as above, and that the Central and Union Pacific Railroad companies will soon recognize the fact that the water route is cheaper than a raiflroad for the freight business to California ports. It would seem thatthe question of the cost of trans- portation between here and San Francisco will very soon be settled, and we shall be able to learn whether $490, 000,000 of capita can successfully compete for the same business against a company possessing equal ta- cilities and ‘pat $17,000,000 of capital.

A private meeting of the presidents and cashiers of the several savings banks of Brooklyn was held at room No, 2 of the Continental Insurance Company’s building on Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of dis- cussing a proposition to reduce the rate of interest on all deposits from six to five per cent. The banks were all represonted with the exception of the Williamsburg Savings Bank. No plan of action was agreed upon. Mr. Schroeder, the Mayor elect, who is al esident of the Germania Savings Bank, offered in the present state of business ent to pay a higher rate of inte: and that a reduction be made to that figure, to go into effect January 1, 1876, ‘The resolution was adopted, THIRD AVENUE SAVINGS BANK, John H. Lyon and Thompson N.

HORTICULTURAL HARDSHIPS, At midday yesterday there was a gathering of the seedmen doing business in this city at the Astor House, for the purpose of taking some action whereby they should be relieved of annoyance and loss through the ignorance and carelessness of thoso who deal with them. The chair was occupied by Mr. James M. Thor- burn, and Mr. E. A, Reeves was elected secretary, Speeches were made by Messrs. Thorburn, Reeves, Bliss, Henderson and others, all based on the finding of the courts in the recent well-known Allen case, in which it was claimed that, while the purchaser called for a given variety of cabbage seed, and received, ag. ‘was believed, what he called for, an entirely different variety of cabbage grew up where the purchased seed went down. For the purpose of giving a definite direction to the proceedings, Mr. John Vanderbilt proposed that they should decide to print upon their seed bags and label certain contingencies under which the dealer in seeds declined to bo held responsible for the results from sowing, such as unavoidable mistakes in Jabelling, cer- | tain improper conditions of soil, arising from freezing, rot from rain, drought, insects, worms and so on. Mr. Reeves, for the purpose of showing how at times it is impossible for even the most learned seed - | man or agriculturist to give a reason for the failure of | seeds, instanced the case of his partner, Mr. Simonson, who took home one peck of timothy grass seed, sowed one half of it on his own lot and the other half on ono | of his father’s, That sown on his father’s ground camo | up finely, while what was sown on his own did not come up at all, though the seed was from the same par- cel, At length the conelusion arrived at was that thero were many cases in which the dealers ought not to be held responsible for selling, beyond that the seed should be new and of the variety called for; and a com- mittee of five was appointed to prepare ‘a proper rulo of guitance for presentation al ir next meetin, | The following committee was | kde td f Henderson, J. Vanaerbilt, B. K, Bliss, Bruggorhof and Elliott. Adjourned, CORONERS’ WORK.
