There was a strike of the in question on the other side.

This had the effect of cutting off the change, and the matter attracts notice because the the supplies of fuel in one of the principal producing United States and the British Isles are the two greatest districts of the Kingdom,thus necessitating the shuttingiron-producing countries in the world, and the effect of down of many of the furnaces. As bearing on that the change has been to give to this country the rank of point we may note that more than the whole falling off leading producer, which Great Britain had held so in output for the year 1892 as compared with 1891 is long. The matter is also noteworthy because it serves found in one district, namely the Cleveland district. to throw light on the general trade situation in the The coal strike did not affect the fuel supplies in all the United Kingdom and on the complaints of poor busi various districts, and it is fair to assume that if there ness which have been so prevalent there. had been an active and urgent demand for iron the loss The British statistics of production are not issued as in the strike region would have been overcome by a cor promptly as those for this country, and the results for responding increase in the output of the other regions, the calendar year 1892 have only just become available. and the fact that it was not is itself the strongest evi It was known that the make of iron in that year had dence of the depression which prevailed. Still, it is fallen off, but the official figures show a much heavier undoubted that the strike did restrict the output, and decline than had been expected. It appears that the in interpreting the year’s results that circumstance output of pig iron for the twelve months was only should be taken into consideration. 6,616,890 gross tons of 2,240 lbs.

Thus in the last three years there has been a falling This reduction of course must be counted as an off off in the yearly production of iron in the United set to the falling off in production, making the Kingdom of 1,705,934 tons. In the same three years comparison of the latter to that extent more favorable the United States mcreased its production over 1-J mil than appears by the face of the figures. The further lion tons.

The diminution in stocks is likewise a factor in wants, and its iron and steel go very largely to supply the results when the comparison is extended the export demand. It so happens that this export back beyond 1891. A few years ago the stocks demand, owing to the universal and almost world-wido were of very large magnitude, in part as the out depression which has existed in trade and business, growth of speculation.

Hence we may depression in the outside world to any extent, and say that in the four years from January 1, 1889, stocks owing to its excellent harvests did not experience-, have been reduced from 2,588,708 to 932,095 tons, or much depression at home; moreover, the low prices; about I f million tons. This is an average decrease of for iron and steel products greatly stimulated con over 400,000 tons per year. Evidently it was considered sumption, and at the same time our home products desirable to allow the stocks to be drawn down, and evi went in part to replace the foreign product.

Mr. Porter aims to bring the whole situation to public notice, and in this respect we think he has rendered a public service. He says the disturbances are bred and maintained by a thoughtless public sympathy and can be prevented only by a thoughful public sentiment. “ It is not in the power of the railway managers to prevent them ; it is in the power of the people to pre vent them.” Mr. Ashley’s paper is entitled “ Railway Corporations and the People,” and was read before “ The Round Table” of St. Louis. Mr. Ashley has written a number of thoughtful essays on railroad questions, and his discourses are always worth reading. He show3 that there is no analogy between the corporations of to-day and those of mediseval times, and traces the history of railroad effort up from the time of George Stephenson. He sets out the difficulties that the early projectors of railroads encountered, and bhows that by reason of the great cost of the undertakings and the impossibility of raising the necessary funds by individual contributions, the corporate form became both a necessity and a con venience. He dwells upon the magnitude of the rail road interest, and points out how important have been the benefits conferred upon the people and nation by this great transportation industry; and yet the corpora tions through which these agencies of commerce have been created are denounced as odious monopolies. As far as the rates charged are concerned, they are the lowest in the world, and as to the service the only complaint has been as to the inadequacy of the supply of cars during years of unusually abundant harvests. Owing to the poor net results of railroad operations and the hostility of State legislation, rail road construction is now practically at a standstill, and it is very difficult to float bonds for new enterprises ex cept when guaranteed by one of the older and well es tablished systems. Such a condition of things is not in the interest of the public, nor does it promote the growth and development of the country. Mr. Ashley fuitber points out that railway traffic, railway construction and railway maintenance are inseparably connected with the business and industrial interests of the country, and that n othing can be more obviously correct than the conclusion that the pros perity of the railway is identical with the prosperity of the section which it traverses— which latter is a very important point to bear in mind. The railways are, “ metaphorically speaking, the veins and aiteriesof the nation, and cannot be clogged or weakened without immediately and injuriously affecting all business inter ests.” Mr. Ashley thinks that at least $30,000 per mile should be expended upon our railways during the next ten years in perfecting the grades, reducing the curvatures, replacing wooden bridges with iron, fillingin trestles, making additions to rolling stock, and provid ing double-track, &c. He well says that the people have a deep interest in encouraging railway companies in expenditures which tend to improve the carrying capacity and the safety of their lines. “ The peo 523 ple have a right to demand this, but they havo no right to expect compliance on the part of railway companies unless a fair compensation can be secured for the service performed, because -it will be im possible for the carriers to devote any adequate part of their earnings to betterments which they would gladly provide.” * * “ To suppose therefore that a policy which stops progress in methods of transportation, or interferes with the circulation of trade currents, can be maintained, would be to conclude that the people of this country are in favor of retrograde movements.” It is consequently Mr. Ashley’s opinion that the pres ent low rates of transportation should be raised to rea sonable figures. A very moderate advance would bring new life and strength to the railways, while being scarcely perceptible to consumers. Mr. Ashley also makes a plea for the amendment of the Inter-State Commerce Law, so as to allow pooling, and he would likewise fegulate and restrict the construction of new roads with the idea of preventing the building of unnecessary new mileage. With these changes he thinks railroad companies could and would settle their own difficulties, and the railroad problem be brought quite near to a satisfactory solution. THE B A N K OF JAPAN . [c o n c l u d in g a r t ic l e .] It will be interesting to give a brief description o f general banking business in Japan and to show the re lation of the Bank of Japan to the other bank?. Banking in Japan is still prim itive; the credit system is narrowly limited, and the deposits do not constitute so large an item of the business as in this country. A failure of banks or banking firms does not cause so great a disaster to the money market as sim ilar events in New York or London. From 1876 to 1890 fifty-four private banks, one hundred and twentyone bankers, four national banks, and many firms, failed, but no fatal crisis occurred.* Examination of the reports of the two Clearing Houses of Tokio and Osaka reveals how small is the credit system. The Osaka Clearing House was estab lished in 1881. The following is a summary of its business for the ten years 1881 to 1890, inclusive. B ills o f E xch a n ge. rea rs. .

It was very favorably regarded in the market and brought on the average one hundred and seventyfive per cent of its face. This large premium was added to the surplus fund. In the first year of the opening of the bank— 1882—there was not profit enough to divide among the shareholders. It was in 1884 that the bank made its first dividend. Then tne Govern ment received a smaller dividend than the stockholders and'it received less also in the three succeeding years. The Government accepted less, partly out of generosity and partly in pursuance of its policy to improve the position of the new institution. We have already stated that the bank first issued its notes in the year 1885. There are four denominations o f the notes, namely, one yen, five yens, ten yens and one hundred yens. The one-yen and five-yen notes, being most convenient, circulate most largely. The following table gives the exact amount of each of the different notes in circulation for a series of years.

At the fortnightly settlement on the Stock Exchange, which began on Monday morning, money was in better demand than it has been for some time past. It was found that the “ bear” account, which has been so long open, had been nearly closed, and that a considerable increase in the “ bull” speculation had taken place. The revenue is being collected in very large amounts, and is transferring considerable sums rom the open market to the Bank of England. Further, al though there is less expectation than there was of the issue of United States Government bonds in London, uncertainty on the point continues, and therefore bankers are not as willing as they were to work cheaply. The withdrawals from the French savings banks also continue. The French Govern, ment has recently reduced the rate allowed upon savings banks deposits. That may account to a considerable extent for the withdrawals ; but naturally there is a fear that the Fanama scandals may have rendered depositors apprehensive. Lastly, the banking crisis in Australia has again become acute. For fully two years British depositors have been with drawing their money from the Australasian banks, and after a while the withdrawals in Australia also became very large, with the result that about 25 banks, mortgage companies and financial institutions of various kinds have had to suspend. About a month ago the withdrawals from four banks in Mel bourne ag^n became serious and this week an actual run began. The Government communicated with the associated [V ol. L T I. banks in Melbourne with the result that the banks agreed to assist one another, the Government undertaking to render what help it could. The combination has undoubtedly caused an improved feeling, and the hope now is that the run will soon end and that confidence will slowly return. The silver market has been less active this week, with a downward tendency. The Indian demand is not as strong as it was since merchandise exports from India have somewhat fallen off. On Wednesday the India Council refused to sell its bills and telegraphic transfers below Is. 2%d. per rupee, and consequently was unable to dispose of the whole amount offered for tender. On the Stock Exchange business is exceedingly quiet. The public is holding aloof altogether from the American depart ment, but professional operators look more favorably upon it than they did. After so heavy a fall in several securities they are expecting a recovery, and therefore if any disposi tion were shown in New York to support] the market, they would buy to some extent. But the general public is quite discouraged and is not likely to enter the market for some time to come. Colonial securities, too, are rather out of favor; especially is there a good deal of apprehension respect ing Australian banks and financial institutions. On the other hand, there has been a considerable rise during the week in South American securities, particularly Argentine. There are rumors that an earnest effort is at length about to be made to settle the Argentine national debt, though nothing definite has yet been decided. A plan, too, has been sub mitted to the boards of the guaranteed railway companies which possibly may serve as a basis for negotiation with the Government. The Government has been making difficulties for a considerable time past as to paying the guaranties, be cause it contends that the companies are bound to hand over to it every half-year from 45 to 50 per cent of the gross re ceipts. The companies maintain, on the contrary, that their debt to the Government does not become due until the guar anties end. The plan now proposed is that the Government should give to the companies Government bonds bearing either 4 or 4 ^ per cent interest, running for 40 or 50 years; that the companies should undertake to pay into some insti tution agreed upon such a proportion of their gross receipts as would provide the interest on these bonds and a sinking fund sufficient to redeem them in the 40 or 50 years; in return the companies to be allowed to raise their rates and fares. In this way the liability of the Government would completely cease and the companies would obtain new revenue to dis charge the liability they undertook. The proposal does not come from the Government. If approved by the companies it will be submitted to the Government, and hopes are enter tained that in some way or other it may serve as a basis for a settlement. Although trade is very depressed and there is little prob ability of an early recovery, there has been a good deal of buying of British railway stocks this week, resulting in a general rise. The Continental bourses are fairly steady. There is a very sanguine spirit indeed in Vienna, where operators have been encouraged by the great success o f the recent gold loan, and the hopefulness in Austria has extended to Germany. In France the Panama trial has rather checked business, and the new bourse-tax is also a discouraging enter prise. But there has been no decline worth speaking of. At the half-yearly shareholders’ meeting of the Bank of England on Thursday, the Governor stated that the liquidation of the Baring estate had proceeded more slowly during the past six months than previously, but that still securities yielding over £600,000 had been realized upon, and that thus the liabilities of the estate had been reduced to about 4)£ millions sterling, almost the whole being due to the Bank of England. At the quotations of the first of this month, where quotations can be obtained, and taking very low values where they can not, it is now estimated that the assets show a surplus of about £350,000. But the Governor admitted that the surplus cannot be realized unless the assets are nursed. He an nounced that the guarantees have been renewed for a year certain from November next, and that the Bank has authority to extend them for a further year if deemed expedient. Within the two years it is hoped that great progress will ba made with the liquidation, but it cannot be completed even then. Among the assets are large amounts of stock of the Manchester ship canal, the Buenos Ayres drainage and water works, and the national banks of Argentina and Uruguay, and. A p r il 527 THE CHRONICLE. 1 , 1863. j it is very unlikely that these stocks can be realized upon within two or three years. The fears of serious strikes have now nearly all been dis sipated, and the process of reducing wages is going on quietly all over the country. In the iron and steel trades, more par ticularly, reductions are being agreed to amicably. While members of the Stock Exchange are complaining loudly of the absence of business, there is much more inclina tion than there has been since the Baring crisis to bring out new issues of securities. Just before the crisis it was prac tically arranged that the Egyptian Domains loan should be converted. It bears interest at the rate of 5 per cent, and the credit of Egypt is good enough to borrow at 4 per cent or a little under. Indeed, Egyptian unified bond3, which rank after all the other debt of the country, have been slightly over par this week, though they bear only 4 per cent interest. On account of the crii-ia the conversion was postponed, but it is now to be carried out. The Messrs. Rothschild will conduct the operation. They brought out the Domains loan and they are contending for the interests of the bondholders. Clearly, conversion could be effected at par if the new bonds were to bear 4 per cent. The Messrs. Rothschild are insisting upon 4M per cent, and that even so the conversion should be at par. The Messrs. Rothschild are also considering a proposal to bring out a Brazilian railway loan for 4 millions sterling. The loan is to be guaranteed, principal and interest, by the Brazilian Government,without any condition, and is intended to complete an important railway in the second richest prov ince of the Brazilian Republic. A second instilment of the Austrian gold loan will be arranged for very shortly, but it is now thought probable that there will be no regular public issue. The demand for the first instalment was so great that the bankers think they will be able to sell thi bonds over the counter without expense or trouble. Messrs.

The report is exhaustive, and it con cludes with a full exoneration of the Central Road from the charge of having continued in the combine after the order of the Chancellor had been issued re restraining it therefrom. The report states the Central Road has returned to the independent position which it formerly occupied before the combine was formed, and ih a titis n o t now a party to any combination between itself and the other defendants. Central & South American Telegraph.—In the report to shareholders dated March 23, President Scrymser said that the Treasurer’s estimate for the current quarter, ending March 31, provides for the quarterly dividend, payabls April 8th, and adds over $80,000 to the surplus, now estimated at $354,772, after payment of the dividend April 8. There has been expended from earnings $145,458 in perfecting and equipping the Argentine extension line. The cost of this line was Dec. 81, 1892, as per balance sheet, $645,458. Tnis amount is par tially offset by the $500,000 increased capital represented in the total capital of $6,500,000. This expenditure, viz., $145,458, together with $68,547 already charged to revenue, makes a total of $214,005 of earnings invested in plant. A careful estimate of the cost of the duplicate cable indicates that the issue of convertible construction certificates, subsciibed for at par, viz., $1,417,600, will yield a surplus of about $75,000. “ The steamer Silvertown, with 2,622 miles of duplicate cable, arrived at Callao March 20, and is now preparing to lay the cable northward. It is expected that the whole cable will be laid and in operation before May 15.” * * * ‘ •As 75 per cent of your traffic is European, the managers of the Western Union Telegraph Company and of the ten duplexed Atlantic cables fully appreciate its importance. Messages are transmitted daily between London and Galves ton inside of fifteen minutes, and the time of transmission between Buenos Ayres and London is frequently within forty-five minutes. The completion of your duplicate cable will further reduce the time of transmission and more than double your facilities for traffic. “ It will be noted that the earnings of your company have been well maintained, notwithstanding the universal com mercial depression and the large reductions made in the rates of your company during the past year. Our collections be ing in gold or its equivalent, they will continue to be unaf fected by any currency depreciation at home or abroad.” Cleveland Akron & Columbus.—The directors of the Cleveland Akron & Columbus Railroad Company met at the office ol J. A. Horsey, No. 19 William Street, New York, and elected the following officers: George W . Saul, President; N. Mcnsarrat, Vice-President and General Manager; George W. Saul, M. W . Borse, N. Monsarrat, F. A. Barnaby and J. A. Horsey, Executive Committee. Cleveland Canton & Southern.—At the special meeting on the 29th it was voted to increase the capital stock by the issue of 91,000 shares of first-class preferred stock, to take the place of that now outstanding and to pay off the company’s floating debt. Edison E lectric Illum inating Company.—A t a special meeting of the stockholders of the Edison Electric Illuminat ing Company it was voted to increase the capital stock of $6,500,000 to $10,000,000; $3,250,000 of the new stock will be used to retire the general 5 per cent convertible gold bonds. The remaining $250,000 will be used for general construction purposes. General Electric.—Judge Greene’s decision in the United States Circuit Court for the Northern District of New Jersey, in the “ feeder” case was handed down this week in favor of the General Electric Company and against the Westiughouse. This is regarded as an important decision, as the invention is now employed universally by the General Electric Company, as well as by competitois. Kings County Elevated.—At a meeting of the directors of this company, the plan submitted by the finance committee, consisting of Messrs. August Belmont, Ja-~. O. Sheldon and W m. A. Read, was unanimously approved. The plan is for the financial relief of the company. Its main features pro vide for the exchange of one-third of the existing second mortgage bonds into 6 per cent non-cumulative income bonds, to get full interest, as earned, up to 6 per cent, before the stock gets anything, and to put in trust two year’s coupons from the unexchanged bonds. Consent of all but about $700,600 out of $3,770,000 bonds is said to be assured. ■K e w a L e t t e r says: “ Shortly after the issue of the Kings County Elevated seconds, the holders, realizing that [VOL. LV I. "or a considerable time to come no interest could possibly be paid by the company on those securities, united in re moving coupons for three years and funding the same, in tire belief that at the expiration of that period the earnings of the road would be sufficient to pay the April, 1893, coupons and those subsequently matur ing. Before the expiration c f the three years it became obvi ous, however, that the development o f the traffic of the com pany had not reached a point where the coupons maturing April 1, 1893, could be met, and that a further adjustment in respect thereof would be necessary. An additional important feature of the new plan is the removal of the company’s float ing debt by the sale for cash of a portion of the surrendered second mortgage bonds. The coupons funded under the orig inal plan are now represented by the so-called “ Baby ” bonds. Interest on these bonds will be paid.” * * “ It is also proposed to consolidate the Fulton and Kings County companies, bring ing the property of the Fulton under the Kings County Ele vated second mortgage.” Macon & Northern.—At Macon, Ga., March 24, N. E. Har ris was made independent receiver of this road. The appoint ment was the result of a bill filed in the United States Court by the Baltimore bondholders, asking that the road be placed in hands other than those of Receiver Comer, because of the Central Georgia’s default in the payment of interest on the bonds of the Macon & Northern. Minneapolis & St Louis.—The Stockholders’ Committee of the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway Company announce that the suit to foreclose the improvement and equipment mort gage is to be heard on April 10; a suit to foreclose the consol idated mortgage will be begun in a few days, and other litiga tion is pending. It is necessary for stockholders to deposit their securities at once with the Central Trust Company if they wish to participate in the benefits of the reorganization, in cidental to which these suits are being prosecuted. A majority of both classes of the stock has already been deposited with the Central Trust Company, thus assirring the success of the reorganization. New York & New England.—At Boston, March 29, a meet ing of the New York & New England directors was held. A report says that the directors agreed to advance the road $350,000 as a working capital, to take the place o f the money lately used to pay certain floating obligations. Northern Pacific.—Announcement was made recently by Henry Clews, chairman of the committee of stockholders of the Northern Pacific Railroad, that a proposition had been submitted to the management of the Northern Pacific for a comprehensive refunding of the floating debt. The plan in volves the issue of $12,000,000 collateral trust notes, to run for five years at 6 per cent interest, to take up the present floaliug obligations of the company, about $9,000,000, and the differ ence between to be expended in future improvements as needed. Mr. Clews said that the syndicate underwriting the notes would insist upon an important change in the board of directors in order to protect the new creditors. President Thomas F. Oakes said: “ W eare going to fund the floating debt hut in exactly what manner we have not yet determined. "We have for some time been considering a plan to issue for that purpose collateral trust notes. Tne debt matures at dates varying from September 1 to December 31, so that there is no necessity for haste. The matter may be decided at the next meeting of the board o f directors on. April 20. Norfolk & Western.—At a meeting of the Norfolk & West ern board of directors in Philadelphia the following preamble and resolution were adopted: Whereas, T h e n e t i n c o m e f o r t h e y e a r e n d i n g D e c . 3 1 , 1 8 9 2 , a f t e r p r o v id in g f o r a l l f ix e d c h a r g e s , s h o w s a s u r p lu s a p p lic a b le to d iv i d e n d s o f $ 7 2 6 ,3 1 3 , o r . a f t e r d e d u c t in g t h e d iv id e n d o f 1 p e r c e n t p a id i n O c t o b e r f o r t b e s i x m o n t h s e n d in g J u n e 3 0 ,1 8 9 2 , t h e r e r e m a in e d a b a la n c e o f $ 2 9 6 ,3 1 3 ; Therefore, resolved. T h a t t h e u s u a l s e m i - a n n u a l d i v i d e n d b e n o t d e c la r e d a n d t h a t t h e n e t e a r n in g s h e a p p lie d t o liq u id a t in g c u r r e n t o b lig a t io n s , i n c lu d in g t h o s e i n c u r r e d i n t h e c o n s t r u c t io n o f t h e O h io e x t e n s i o n , n o w c o m p le t e d . The last dividend was 1 per cent scrip, convertible into 5 per cent debentures, which was paid In October, 1892, while in April, 1892. a cash dividend of per cent was paid. The action of the directors seems to be wise, and it will meet with the approval of conservative holders of Norfolk & "Western securities. It is far more courageous to pass a dividend than to borrow the money to pay it.

A pr il 1, 1883.] Philadelphia & Reading.—In Philadelphia, March 29, the holders of Reading Railroad securities were represented at the office of George L. Crawford, the Master, in anticipation of a hearing on the petition of the receivers to issue certifi cates to the amount of §5,500,090. Nothing, however, was done, for Thomas Hart, Jr., of counsel for the receivers, an nounced that the latter were not ready to proceed, as they desired to amend the petition recently filed in court. What the nature of the amendment will be or when it will be pre sented in court was not divulged, and the gathering dispersed subject to the call of the master. Among those present were Charles C. Beaman and John R. Dos Passos, counsel for the New York committees of general mortgage and income mort gage bondholders, and James Speyer, of Speyer & Co., the New York bankers. —The receivers of the Reading Railroad have notified Treas urer Church to pay the interest falling due on the bonds of the company on April 1 and the Lehigh Valley dividend due on April 15. These payments amount to over $1,000,000. —The statement of earnings for February and the first three months o f the fiscal year shows the following : Dec. 1 to Mch. 1 . — , 13 9 1 -3 2. 1 8 9 2 -9 3. $ $ 5 ,1 0 5 ,4 9 5 5 ,3 9 7 ,5 1 1 2 ,9 3 4 ,3 1 0 3 ,4 4 1 ,6 3 3 /------------- February.----------- 1892.

The mortgage (an abstract of which is published on subsequent pages) is a first lien on all the railroad and property of the San Antonio & Aransas Pass Railway Company, and the bonds are guaran teed as to the payment of both principal and interest by the Southern Pacific Company. 539 South Carolina R ailw ay.—At Charleston, S. C., March 29, an argument was made in the United States Court on motion to postpone the sale of the South Carolina Railway. Counsel opposed to the motion read a paper signed by the Mayor and Council o f Charleston and by tne Chamber of Commerce, argu ing that it would be greatly to the interest of that city if the road was sold on the date named in the original order, April 11. The court reserved its decision. Tennessee Coal & Iron Co.—Mr. John H. Inman has bought 25,000 shares of Tennessee Coal & Iron stock from H. De Bardeleben, who agrees not to sell the rest of the stock held by him, amounting to 40,000jshares, for sixty days. The price paid-for the stock was about 25. At the annual meet ing of the company, to be held on April 4, Nathaniel Baxter, of Nashville, will probably be elected President and Mr. De Bardeleben Vice-President and General Manager. Type-writer Combination.—At Trenton, N, J., March 29, a type-writer company, with a capital of $20,000,000, was formed, and articles of incorporation were filed in the office of the Secretary of State. The incorporators are John F. Keho, of Newark; Cnarles A. Winter and J. Warren Betts, of New York, and Elward H. Coffin, of Brooklyn. The princi pal places of business will be at Ihon, N. Y .; Syracuse, N. Y .; Bridgeport, Conn.; Hartford, Conn., and Springfield, Mass. The capital stock is divided into $4,000,000 of first preferred stock, $6,000,000 of second preferred stock and $10,000,000 of common stock. This company, it is understood, will take over the business of the Remington, Caligraph, Yost, Ham mond and Smith-Premier Machines. United States Rubber Co.—The Boston J o u r n a l reports that the combination has put up the prices of rubber goods from 20 to 30 per cent, and has cut off the big retailers from their old privileges of buying at factory prices. “ The new corporation is called the United States Rubber Company, and is incorporated under the laws of New Jersey. Its authorized capital stock is $50,000,000, of which only $30,000,000 has yet been issued, one-haif preferred and onehalf common. The company’s representatives claim that the preferred stock of $15,000,000, which was issued for the real estate, machinery, stock on hand, book accounts, cash on hand, &c., of the old companies, is actually less than the ap praised value of the property. The preferred is to pay 8 per cent interest, non-cumulative. The common stock, also amount ing to $15,000,000, is issued for the trade-marks, good will, etc., of the old companies. The principal companies that have been merged in the United States Rubber Company are L. Candee & Co. of New Haven, the Goodyear Metallic Rubber Shoe Company of Norwich, Conn., American Rubber Company of Cambridge, the Boston Rubber Company, the National India Rubber Company of Bristol, R. I., and three New Jersey companies of comparatively small size and im portance. It is also understood that the majority o f the stock of the Goodyear Glove Manufacturing Company has been purchased by the big company, but whether this be correct or not no one doubts that the Goodyear will act in unison with the combination. “ The principal rubber companies that are still under a sep arate management are the Boston Rubber Shoe Company, whose big factories are at Malden, and the Woonsocket Rub ber Company, the former concern having a capital and sur plus of $5,000,000, and the latter a capital of $1,250,000, or thereabouts. Between these companies and the United States Rubber Company an arrangement for harmony in the trade has been formed which outsiders are inclined to call an offen sive and defensive alliance.” —Messrs. John H. Davis & Co. advertise that they have been authorized to receive subscriptions at par for $800,000 of the 20-year 7 per cent first mortgage gold bonds of the Min neapolis Brewing Co., organized under the laws of the State of Minnesota to purchase the property and business o f the Minneapolis Brewing & Malting Co., which was formed in July, 1B90, as a consolidation of the four principal brewing concerns of the city of Minneapolis, embracing all there were in the city, one small plant excepted. The capital stock o f the new company consists of $1,509,000 in common shares of $100 each; also $1,500,000 first mortgage bonds, of which $800,000 are now offered at par. The balance of $700,000 of these bonds has already been taken, as well as the entire stock of the company, and the proceeds of the bonds now of fered for sale will be applied to completing the purchase of the property from the former company. The books and ac counts have been examined by public accountants and show that the net assets of the company are largely in excess of the total bonded debt. The surplus net earniDgs of the company after payment of ex penses, improvements and interest upon the bonds, will be applied to the retirement of the bonds at a price not ex ceeding 110 and interest, until one-half of the entire issue, or $750,000, shall thus be retired, and then the amount of $25,000 per year out of the surplus net earnings shall be similarly ap plied to the retirement of bonds at not exceeding 110 auc, interest. The subscription list will be opened on Monday, April 3, and closed on or before Thursday, April 6, at 3 P. M. —The National Bank of Deposit wifi remove on April 3d to the Western Union Telegraph Company’s building, 195 Broadway, corner Dey Street.

O P* CO 1 2 3 .4 9 0 132 332 Speculation in cotton for future delivery has been conducted with much cautioD, and the principal feature of the week was the liquidation of engagements upon the “ long” side of the market. That course of action was traceable to disappoint ment over the failure of Manchester spinners to resume pur chases with freedom after the settlement of the labor difficul ties, and also to an increased movement of supplies and pressure to sell at the South. The promising progress of preparations for the new crop has added to the bearish tone. On Saturday unexpected tameness developed in the tenor of cable advices and caused free offerings, under which the market closed at a net loss of 6 points. Monday, work was resumed at the Lancashire mills in accordance with the agreement entered into during t! e previous week between the master spinners and the workmen, but finding that no increase of trading took place at Liverpool, holders of contracts here and of cotton at the South became free and hurried sellers, causing a break of about J^c. per lb. During Tuesday the continued freedom of the offerings and an increased c t o d movement at interior towns kept the general tone heavy and 8 points more were lost. At Wednesday’s market the pressure was in part removed and^some covering stiffened values a trifle, a slightly better tone at Liverpool giving some confidence here. Yester day there was considerable irregularity in consequence of the settling of engagements in preparation for the Easter holi days but final rates stood about the same as at the close of preceding day. To-day the Exchange is closed. Cotton on the spot has declined to 8 ;? g C . for middling uplands and was sold with greater freedom at the reduced price. Exporters]to the Continent were the principal buyers. The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 1,180 200 bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week 12,33j bales, including 5,121 for export, 1,414 for consumption, — for speculation and 5,800 on contract. The following are the official quotatior s for each day of the past week— March 25 to March 31. O r d i n a r y ........................................ 9 l b .
