Watt Srrest, } Wxpsespax, Nov, 17—0 ¥. M, Much of the recent rise in the price of Western rail- oad stocks is due to the belief by professional specu- Jators in an active export demand for wheat during this ‘winter and a consequent trerease of business for the | Railroads. Of the probabilities of such a movement ‘Deing greater or smaller than it was last season, and of | {ts effects upon the railroads during the close of inland | mavigation, the readers’ of the Herat, after an ex- amination 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 follows:— Nov. 14, 1874, Nov. 13, 1875, Bi Bushels. Yn port of New York 4,001,923 ©n Now York canals... 2,669,000 On New York railroads. 500, 000 O41, 574 1,800,000 9,412,497 992,387 1,100,000 At Milwaukee, 191,939 700,000 Potala... ..sscdes as aitetons 1,184,326 1,800, 000 Thus the quantity of WHEAT ‘m and en route to New York is nearly 2,800,000 Dushels 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 Sountry other than Great Britain. English ac- Sounts 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 percent greater than for the same period in 1874, and from the Baltic ports the accounts show an in- greased export of about 9,000,000 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 7,934,645 in 1874, an in- frease of 8,875,806 cwt. in the first fifty-flve days of the new crop year. The fact that we have not con- tributed anything toward this increased importation 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 MARKET to-day"has verified the correctness of the intimation frequently given in this column, that it Was a market In which it was much easier to buy a large quantity of Stock than to sell it, The leading feature has been stag- hation and weakness {or nearly all the gprely specula- live shares.

A number of the stockholders of the Toledo, Wabash apd Western Railroad met to-day to take measures to resist the foreclosure of the road by holders of the gold bonds, It was resolved to appoint a ‘“Stock- holders’ Protective Committee,” who are to estab- lish an office, employ counsel and prepare them- selves to give any desired information as to the road, The stock is tobe taxed fifty cents a share, and the certificates to which the 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 is said that the 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 $1,581,258 31, @ decrease from last year of $106,020 88. The ex- penses, however, were but $1,216,476 11, a reduction of $67,627 66. No further developments have taken place in the pending contest between the Panama and Pacific Mail companies.

To rus Eprror ov tix HxraLp:— The proposition of the Panama Railroad Company to establish a line of first class steamers between New York and San Francisco is leading to a good deal of discussion, and a comparison of the present cost of the overland railroad route with that of the Panama Bail- road, after puilding twenty new iron steamers, may not be uninteresting to your readers: — ‘PRESENT CAPITAL AND DEST OF OVERLAND RAILROADS.

Several directors of the Panama Railroad believe that their route is the most economical for the Pacific busi- ness, and are of opinion he tne Rest Laie parle ay ‘six per cent quarterly dividends if equipped as Bbeve, ane that the Central and Union Pacific Railroad companies will soon recognize the fact that the water route is cheaper than a railroad 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 190,000,000 of capitai can successfully compete for the: same business against a ppmpany possessing equal fa- cilities and but $17,000,000 of Ge STOCKHOLDER PANAMA RAILROAD COMPANY. “HARD TIMES, BROOKLYN SAVINGS BANKS WANT TO CUT DOWM- THE RATE OF INTEREST. 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 represented with the exception of the Williamsburg Savings Bank. No plan of action was agreed upon. Mr. Schroeder, the Mayor elect, who is also President of the Germania Savings Bank, offered a resolution that in the present state of business affairs it is not expedi- ent to pay a higher rate of interest than five per cent, 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. Decker, ex-Presi- dents of the defunct Third Avenue Savings Bank, yes- terday appeared at the Fifty-seventh Street Police Court and gave bail in the sum of $6,000 each to await trial on the charges of perjury alleged against them by depositors.

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 those 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 calied fora given variety of cabbage seed, and received, ae ‘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. Jobn Vanderbilt proposed that the; should decide to print upon their seed bags and labe certain contingencies under which the dealer in seeda declined to be held responsible for the results from sowing, such as unavoidable mistakes in labelling, cer- | tain improper conditions of soil, arising from freezing, rot from rain, drought, insects, worms and 80 on. Mr. Reeves, for the purpose of showing how at times it is impossible for even the most learned seed - man or agricalturist to give a reason for the failure of eods, instanced the case of bis 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 on of his father’s, ‘That sown on hia father’s ground camo up finely, while what was sewn on his own did not come up at all, though the seed was from the same par- cel, At length the conclusion arrived at was that thero were many cases in which the dealers ouzht 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 pre) ‘proper rulo of guitance for presentation at Rext meeting. The following committee wag io ted :=Mossra, Henderson, f Vanaerbilt, B. K, Bliss, Bruggorhoff and Elliott. Adjourned. CORONERS’ WORK.

"he in nest was also held by the same Coroner in tho cass of Ellen Lawrence, of No. 40 East Tenth street, who died from the effect of an overdose of opium | taken on the 12th inst. for the purpose of producing sleep, The jury seve: censured the druggist woo sold the drug to the deceased (his name is unknown) without aprescription from a physician, and blamed the attending physician, Dr®Martin, for not reporting the case to the proper authorities, Ellen Galvin, a child two years of age, was burned to th yesterday at the residence of its mother, No. 217 Kast Forty-seventh street, The mother was absent ab the ume of the acciden’
