It Is not
powible yet to state exactly the amount of the expenditure,
for we have no return of the actual charge for the debt, of
the naval defense outlay, and of the other consolidated fund
charges. Usually, however, they are estimated so cloeely
that we may practically conclude the actual results were the
same as the estimates. If so, they amounted to £38,768,000,
and the total expenditure was a little over 87^ millions sterling, giving an actual surplus of somewhat under 1^ million
sterling. Compared with the budget estimates, there is only
a small increase in the expenditure; but the revenue exceeds
the estimates by nearly £1,880,000. In the first half of the
year the growth of the receipts was very great; it was much
less in the second half, owing to the Baring crisis; yet the
results are upon the whole very satisfactory, especially the
excise and customs revenue shows that the expenditure

been an exceptional drought. Of course it is too early yet to
form any opinion but the probability is that in the United
;

Kingdom, France, Italy, and Spain, the harvest will be late,
if not bad, and consequently that the demand will be larger
than usual. In the trade itself it is expected that prices will
continue to rise. Last week the Gazette average price of
wheat in the leading markets of England and Wales was 35-3
per quarter, a rise compared with the corresponding week of
last year of 5*6 per quarter, or not far short of 18J^ per cent.
More serious, so far as the general economic condition of this
country is concerned, is the backward state of the green
crops and more particularly of grass. In many districts it is
reported that cattle are being hurried to market owing to the
scarcity of food. Unless there is an early improvement in the
weather, the position of our farmers, already far from satisfactory, will become still worse.

The American Manufacturing Company, familiarly known
as the " Jute Trust," in addition to their mills elsewhere, have
just completed on their water front in Brooklyn the largest
and best-efjuipped plant of its kind in America, for tlie manufacture of all kinds of cordage, as well as bagging for covering cotton. This latter has heretofore been their specialty.
but rope and binder twine are ex|jected to be a large part of
the business hereafter. At their wharves they have facilities
for handling the largest ship that come to this port, and
their warehouses can store 150,000 bales of hemp.

great significance.
The outlook for the wheat crop remains excellent in the
Southwestern States, and this week the price had another bull
point in the report that the French Government was consider•ering the (juestion of repealing the duties this year, owing to
the scarcity of wheat in France. As Texas and Southern
Kansas can harvest in June and July, it is to be presumed the
farmers would press forward their wheat as early as possible
to get the beneiit of the high prices, and this ought to mean
good freights on the Southwestern roads.
The falhng off in activity of the iron trade is not regarded
as a good indication for general business, and some roads in
the Lake Superior region report a heavy decline in iron ore
freights.
It is possible that with the opening of navigation
and spring business the Western city booms will take on new
life, and iron will again be in large demand.
The open market rates for call- loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 3 to 6 p. c. the
average being 3J^ p. c.
To-day rates on call were 3 to 4
p. c. Prime commercial paper is quoted at 5J^(u6 p. c.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a decrease in specie of £610,000, and the percentage of reserve
to liabilities was 34^86, against D4'.50 last week; the discount
rate was advanced to S\{ per cent. The Bank of France shows
an increase of 6,775,000 francs in gold and a decrease of 850,•000 francs in silver.
The New York Clearing House banks in their statement of
April 11 showed a decrease in the reserve held of $658,200,
and a surplus over the required reserve of §5,612,950, against
$6,389,075 the previous weeir.

failure of the Western Traffic Association to get a quorum.
The latter occurrence is smoothed over and explained away
•with the statement that there -will be an adjourned meeting in
New York in May, when the delinquent railroad presidents
will attend. As to the gold exports, there is usually more
talk about the transfer of a few millions of gold across the
Atlantic, in either direction, than the subject warrants, and
it is only in times of great stringency, like last December, that

Net Earnings Monthly to Latest Dates. The following
shows the gross and net earnings to latest dates of all railroads
furnishing monthly statements. The compilation includes
every road from which we can get returns of this character,
and in that form is given once a month. Early returns are
published from week to week, as soon as issued, but for the
convenience of our readers all the roads making returns are
brought together here in the week in which we publish our
monthly article on net earnings say on or about the 20th of
the month. A paragraph mark (Tf) added after the name
of a road indicate that the figures for that road have not previously been given, but appear for the first time in this issue.

" While it is not to be expected that the business of the
company will continue to increase in the future as rapidly as
in the past, the almost universal prosperity and rapid growth
of the local companies organized to use the Thomson-Houston
system is a guaranty of tlie permanent prosperity of its
business. In view of the present widespread depression of all
business interests, it is a source of congratulation that the
orders received by your company for the last 90 days are considerably in excess of those for the same period for any
previous year."
The report says that the entire sum of all stocks of electric
lighting and railway companies held by this company is less
than 2 per cent of its assets, and the first mortgage bonds of
such companies are less than 10 per cent of its assets. The
liabilities do not include $500,000 Thomson-Houston collateral
trust bonds issued in 1889 as an accomodation to the Manhattan Electric Company of New York, since the ThomsonHouston Company is amply secured and only gave the use of
its name.
In the balance sheet above accounts receivable are
reduced 10 per cent and notes receivable 5 per cent. On Jan.

Missouri Kansas & Texas.- The enabling act in favor of
the Missouri Kansas & Texas Railway Company, recently
passed by the Legislature of Texas, authorizing the reorganization of the several corporations in that State into one new
corporation under the general laws, has been signed by Gov.
Hogg. The enabling act is an important measure, and will
relieve the Missouri Kansas & Texas Road of the litigation to
which it has for a long time been subjected under the laws of
the State. This law strictly forbids the joint ownership or
operation of parallel or competing lines, and the statute,
as construed by the Texas Supreme Court, applies to
most of the railroad lines traversing its
territory.
The policy of the State is also to prevent the
operation of Texas lines by any foreign corporation, and in
fact to treat every company that owns a mile of road in the
State as a Texas corporation, which is compelled to have its
general offices therein and its officers residents. In August,
1870, the Texas Legislature passed a special act authorizing
the Missouri Kansas & Texas to build lines in Texas, to extend its lines to the Red River and Rio Grande, and also to
purchase or sell, lease, merge stocks, and unite or consolidate
with connecting roads. Pursuant to that statute the M. K. &
T. directly and indirectly acquired title to some 800 miles of
road in Texas, and also leased the International & Great
Northern Road. The last-named corporation also leased the
Galveston Houston
Henderson, a most important connec-

&

tion.

Poughkeepsie Bridge bondholders, held in Philadelphia, it
was practically determined to proceed with theplan previously
suggested, to which holders of $8,000,000 bonds have already
assented. The plan involves the issue of scrip in exchange
for the coupons falling due Feb. 1, 1891, and for two years
thereafter, said coupons to be held in trust by the committee.
The scrip will bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent, and will
be redeemable at the option of the committee at any time
within ten years, and after two years from the date of issue.

the Missouri Pac^ic, from Texarkana. Mr. Gould explained
that he was in charge of his physician, Dr. Munn, who advised
him that it would be unwise for him to attempt the trip to Cliicago at this time. Vice-President Clarke also pleadetl illnees
as the cause of his absence. No advices were received from
either the Union Pacific or Southern Pacific people.
telegram from President Hill, of the Great Northern, stated that
he or a competent representative of the road would be able to
reach Chicago by Thursday or Friday, but not before.
The eleven members present decided that they would hear
the report of the Board of Commissioners, and the report
presented by Chairman Walker was read. As no action could
be legally taken without a quorum, the meeting finally adjourned, subject to the call of the chair. A resolution, however, was passed Ijefore adjournment, setting forth that some
of the matters before the meeting were of such importance
that if unacted upon at an early date the integrity and life of
this association are threatened, and requesting the Chairman
to ascertain at the earliest date when a quorum could
be secured. The full text of the preamble and resolution is
as follows:

abor troubles, which have been quite serious at some points,
are growing less so now, and hopes are expressed of the early

Lard on the spot has made some advance in prices, but more
from sympathy with the speculative market than from any
urgency of demand or decrease of supplies, and the market
closes quiet at 6.60c. for prime city, 7.10,a7.15c. for prime
Western, and 7.10(87.50c. for refined for the Continent. The
speculation in Lard for future delivery has been fairly active,

was decided buoyancy, but the close this afternoon was at
prices considerably below the best figures of the morning.

the South, sympathizing largely with the depression in this
crop. On Thursday a steadier report from Liverpool and
smaller receipts at Bombay greatly reduced the oflferings on

Indian Com also reflects a decided advance in prices, and
yesterday the speculative excitement was very great. It was
said that there was large buying to cover contracts on foreign
account.
Prices rfached the highest figures made in a
quarter of a century. To-day there was a further advance
on stronger foreign advices, with a very active speculation,
but a dull local trade.

the bright, warm days experienced this week, and in it a welcome activity has been easily noticeable. LocaUy, at least,
this was so; but reports from leading near-by and outlying reLate in thei
tailers were also more encouraging than of late.
week jobbers were under the belief that they had come in for
their first share of the improvement, as there were more
buyers in evidence and a greater diversity in the demand than
for some time past. Agents and commission houses will havo
t» wait a little longer, however, before they find much increase
in the business doing at first hands. During the past week
there was little or no change in the character of trade doing

other respects also there was practically no alteration.
Agents, with one exception referred to later on have made
no new prices, and in that exception it was simply making
public prices at which business Cad been doing for some time
past. There was continued irregularity, it is true, in many
directions, but desirable styles of standard goods were not
affected. Agents and others report collections fair, but not
80 regular as could be desired, and some have noted a rather
disagreeable increase in the number of cancellations during
the week, woolen goods apparently being most affected in

the prospect of an unusually large winter-wheat crop indicated by it. Even with a large yield good prices seem assured,
and the combination is considered very promising for an
active fall trade in dry goods.
Domestic Cotton Goods.—The exports of cotton goods
from this port for the week ending April 14, were 8,554
packages, valued at $405,020, their destination being to the

This departure is generally considered to have removed a
disturbing factor from the print situation. Ginghams and
woven wash fabrics were steady throughout the week, with a
quiet movement. The market for printing cloths, after ruling
dull but steady, has given way slightly, the closing quotations
being 3c. less one per cent for 64x64's and 2 9-16c. for 55x60's.

Domestic "Woolen Goods. This department has been well
nigh featureless. The spot demand from day to day has
never risen above retail dimensions, and duplicating orders
for fall goods have been disappointingly small. Agents also
reported an increase in the number of cancellations, but during a period of prolonged dulness this is always looked for.
The demand for men's wear woolens, such as it was, ran
almost entirely upon heavy piece-dyed woolens and worsteds,
union, cotton warp caasimeres and low and medium all wool
grades, there being nothing done in light weight woolens,
worsteds or cassi meres. There was no demand from the
clothing trade for overcoatings and cloakings. Stockinets
and jersey cloths were neglected. Fine doeskins were in
quiet re-order request, but Kentucky jeans and satinets had a
hand-to-mouth call only. Agents in all branches report unchanged prices, but there are evidences of weakness in certain
low grade goods. Flannels were slow, as usual at this time
of the year, and the distribution of blankets was mainly confined to specialties.

—

FoEEiQN Det Goods. Importers have experienced something of a revival in business this week, as under the influence of fine weather there was a perceptible increase in the
demand for specialties. Staple goods were not so much af
fected, but were moving better than a week ago. Prices are
reported generally firm, but there is inside evidence to show
that buyers in many instances found sellers pretty easy to
deal with.
