THE I'OURTII AUDITOlt'8 IlErORT.
* % The annual report of Fourth Audi
tor Beardsley Dliowa that the aggre
gate payments on account of the navy
for the fiscal year ended June 30th ,
1882 , were little less than the aggre
gate appropriations made by congress
for that year. Some of the appropri
ations were over expanded and a de
ficiency waa provided for at the last
session of congress. Disbursemonto
amounting to moro than $15,000,000
have been made without loss. For Blip-
port of the service in foreign
waters , bills of exchange were eold
amounting to $1,767,723 , of which
$1,355,137 vftro drawn ou our agents
in London and $412,586 on the secre
tary of the navy. This latter sum ia
moro than double that of the previous
year and indicated the Improved con
dition of our foreign trade and credit.
A commission of ono per cent is paid
to the London agents on the Bum pud
by them. The auditor suggests that
this work could bo as well done by a
pay official of the navy , thus saving
the expense , or , if the present agency
is to be continued , one-half ot ono
par cent would bo ampin commission.

NORTHERN 1'ACIKKl LANDS.
Respecting the adjustments of with

A TALK WITH GOD.IVD.
The Raid on Btoclcs , the Business
Outlook and the Crops ,
IpcclM Dispatch to Tint UBS.
NEW YOUK , November 22. Jay
Gould , in n talk with u reporter to
day , said ho thought the decline in
stocks had gene further than any
element in the situation would war
rant. The uneasy feeling an to what
tbo ppHoy of tha government might
bo with regard to the management ot
the public treasury had arisen , and
this uneaeiness had resulted in calling
loans to a largo extent , which necessi
tated an extensive liquidation. For
his own part ho had not been purchas
ing stock until within the past week ,
but was now buying and should con
tinue to buy stocks to hold ,
as they wcro cheap enough
to pay good return for thoao
who could take card of them. Gould
caid the product of the southwest this
year waa very largo and the buainoto
situation highly encouraging. The
cotton crop of Texas would roach
1,500,000 bales and that state had
produced an immense crop of corn
tmd wheat. Texas waa now exporting
moro caUlo and wool than over before.
Kansas ban s. big crop and the eamo ia
tiuo of the middle flection. In the
southwest railroad rates are being
maintained and the roado are doing a
good businons. There ia heavy immi
gration and a largo number of people
going in by New Orleans and Galvea-
-v I -
Speaking of tbo iron troubles Gould
said the chief difficulty was in regard
'to ' the Bessemer leel industry , which
had the capacity for a much greater
supply than the present railroad build
ing of the country demanded. The
iron interest was not depressed and
ho uuderotood It waa doing fairly well.
The Vulcan ateol works at Si. Louis
would probably nhut down partially
until they could adjust thetr differ
ences with laborers , but there was n
domtuid that would keep the mills
running , it' not on full time , partially
at least.
Spoiikinff generally of the railway
tutuation Gould said the roada were
never in so good & condition to do
business as at present , as they had all
taken advantage of the prosperity of
the last few yoara to perfect tlioir
equipments und put them into first-
class order He said that on the
Wabiih syetom the average for fuel
the last month had boon only $1.25
per ton in the engine , which was our-
prisingly low for an article that en
tered BO 'largely into the coat of opera
ting a road. Gould Bald there waa
little Wabash preferred stock on the
market. About $15,000,000 of Block
was held in Europe and it was prac
tically cornered. In regard to the
Western Union , Gould said
the books show a laryo tu-
croano of investment holdings
und ho produced a copy which showed
that ono year ago loat September
them stood upon the bonks 301,054
shurea of stock held by the brokers ,
and 408,940 r.harea held by investors.
On the 17th mot. the tnmafobooka
eliowed the brokerage holdings had
decreased to 272,513 almrfia while the
invuHtmeat ucot/uut hud grown to
572-J7' , 5 pharei , At thn present time
about 6,000 shared u weuk of ntock nro
passing from the harirfa of brokers
into the b.iea of invostois , and ut
thu ruto it will take less than a year
to absorb all speculative stock. The
cashipr'a balance to-day shows $1,841-
OUO in the treasury ; already a much
larger sum than would bo rt quired for
the next dividend , which IB not duo for
two months. Gould said ho wai not
buying opposition telegraph lines and
found no rivalry. He know the poal-
tion of the Western Union , and was
not at all alarmed or anxious about
the effects of rival linos.
Notwithstanding the break in stocks ,
Gould eaid ho had been for many days
steadily buying for people who wcro
uninfluenced by the clamor of panic
breeders. The aamo absorption for
investment to which ho hud alluded
in the caeo of the Western Union was
observable with regard to other prop
erties with which ho waa familiar , par
ticularly the case of the Union Pacific.
In conclusion , Mr , Gould Raid he
looked for subetantial improvement in
etocka , aud eventually a much higher
market , as soon as money should br
assured ,
KEENE WAS NEXT INTERVIEWED
on the speculative situation and he
did not hesitate to say ho thought it
absurd to talk of stocks down aftui
the decline that had been witnessed
and with railroads earning such enor
mous amounts as at present. He
confidently expressed the belief that
an era of bettor days was about tc
dawn for holders of stocks. The
sentiment of conservative houses In
