The trade movement was held In allegiance by
the rain storm to greater or less extent but the
markets were generally firm though quiet. The
movement in cotton was slow. At the Produce
Exchange business was light, owing In great part
to the scarcity OF breadstuhs on account of the
canal break, the receipts being very Insignificant

TIE CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND AND PACIFIC RAILROAD.
correspondent who appears to be we'll informed
on the subject writes as misunderstanding the
attention which you have recently bestowed on
railroad securities, and the arguments you have
Justly submitted In favor OF this class of securities
for permanent Investment l beg leave to ask,
"What Is the present stock Of the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific RairoadY'' and to answer the
question myself, with the view OF throwing as
company's report of March 81, 1872, the capital
stock was set down at S19 000, 00O represented by
100000 shares. Some time in October or November
OF last year the company gave to the New York
Stock Exchange the required thirty days. notice
OF their intention to issue an additional 0,0O0
shares 'after thirty days." We next learn, by
the company's report, under date OF March 81
1873 (only made public about June u, that they
had so increased the capital stock-it being set
down at So, DOC, 00O-but that the company still
held March 81 $4,000 OF the issue Of $4,000 900.
Thus it would appear that there had actually been
placed on the market up to April only 1900
shares. What amount Of money was secured by
the company for these Is, 900 shares of new stock
we suppose to be OF no business or interest to the
stockholders, for we look in vain to the report for
any information beyond the fact announced that
the gross receipts from all sources for the year
ending March 81 were as follows:-
Gross earnings (H...... ,419, 231

MONDAY, August 1S-6 p. N,
THE FOREIGN MARKET.
American securities are again reported buoyant
IN London, with symptoms Of increasing strength,
especially In government bonds. Erie, however,
was easier towards the close Of the market. The
discount for three months bills In open market
was q per cent below the bank rate The amount
OF bullion which went into the Bank OF England
to-day on balance was f12, 900. The latest quota
tons are as f0llows:--COnsOls fer money, 92x q
e2X; consols for account, 92I 92H; dve-twenty
bonds OF 1886 (old), 947s 05S; fve-twenty bonds
OF 1867, 95H 95h; ten-lOrty bonds, 907s COY;
new hves, ok 9114; Erie Railway shares Az q
TX; Illinois Central Railway shares So SO. The
Paris Bourse is reported active and strong, with
rentes advanced to $3.50.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Money to-day showed more traceable sympathy
with the movement in gold and the recent bank
statement than 1t has done for several weeks. The
rate has been higher during the past ten days. but
1t Is now evident that feeling OF insecurity exists
In financial circles with reference to the future Of
gold, and the possible influence it may be made to
exert on all loaned values that are subject to CALL
which Is inducing extra caution on the part of
lenders. In the early business rates ranged from
to 4 per cent. Later the price stinened to and
81 per cent, but at the close receded to 3}a per
cent. The tendency Of these prices however, Is to
call extra capital into the street. and prevent the
Btringency which might otherwise result. Prime
discounts remain unchanged ABOUT as last quoted.
Foreign Exchange was dull and lower the leading
bankers having reduced their rates to 1887 for
prime 60 day bills and 1O91a for short sight. The
nominal rates as amended will be found in the
annexed table: -
