London, Saturday, April
5, 1890,
Wednesday afternoon the outside market was very
poorly supplied with funds and had to borrow largely from
the Bank of England. The India Council on Monday and
Tuesday called in much of the money which it had lent to
Up
to
the bill brokers and disccunt houses, and so did several banks
and leading financial houses. The rate of interest in the open
market therefore ranged from about SJ^ to 4 per cent. The
Bank of England charged from 4 to 4}^ per cent. Yet the
discount was steadily declining. On Wednesday
afternoon, however, the supply in the market was suddenly
increased by the Government paying for consols which had
been bought for the sinking fund and by the Bank of England
repaying loans it had raised upon consols. Bill brokers and
rate of
discount houses were therefore able to repay large sums to
the Bank of England, and the rate for short loans fell sharply
to 2J^^ per cent, the rate of discount declining at the same
time to about 2J4 per cent.
The general expectation is that we shall have a considerable
period of easy money after Easter. The payment of the
interest on the national debt, the purchases for the sinking
payment of the Bank of England dividend, the
repayment by the Bank of money borrowed on consols and
the transfers from the Government to the County Councils
will add largely to the supply in the market. Further, the
fear entertained that gold will be shipped to New York has
disappeared, while gold instead of going to Bueno.'. Ayres is
coming back from that city. To put down the premium on
gold the Argentine Finance Minister sold large amounts of the
metal during the past couple of months, and almost as soon

as it was delivered it was shipped to Europe. Part of the
gold has gone into the Bank of England and part has been
taken to Berlin, and therefore it is hoped that there will be no
withdrawals from the Bank for Berlin.
But while all this is true, it must not be forgotten, on the
other side, that the outside market owes to the Bank an
amount equal to the interest, payable next week, on the

market generally expects.
The price of silver continues firm at 48^d. peroz., and
there has been a sharp rise in Mexican dollars, the demand
coming from China, this being the active season there.
During the financial year ended on Monday night the India
Council realized from the sale of its bills and telegraphic
transfers £15,474.496, or £784,000 more than had been estimated for in the Budget twelve months ago, and the average
price obtained was 3-16 of a penny per rupee higher than the
Budget estimate. In the new financial year the estimate is
that the sales will realize a trifle under 15 millions sterling,
is to say, nearly half a million sterling less than in the
past financial year, and the price expected to be obtained is
the same as the average for the past year. The action of the
Council will probably largely depend upon whether the price of
silver is maintained or not. If the price is high, and conse-
that
—
quently the bills can be sold advantageously, no doubt the
Council will sell freely otherwise it will sell sparingly. If
the price is to depend mainly upon the Indian demand, it is
not likely to be maintained, for in the ten months ended with
January last the value of the imports into India, including
merchandise, treasure and Cauncil bills, was somewhat over
86J^ crores of rupees, while the value of the exports was but
a little over 84 crores of rupees. The balance against India
was thus nearly 2% crores of rupees or, at Is. 5d. per rupee,
;
not far short of 2 millions sterling.
During the financial year ended on Monday night the total
revenue collected by the Government of the United Kingdom
was £94,489,836. Out of this, however, £5,185,530 have to be
handed over to the local authorities, leaving the imperial
revenue £89,304,816. Roughly, therefore, the Chancellor of
the Exchequer has received 3J^ millions more than he estimated twelve months ago. The expenditure is a trifle under
the estimate of the Budget, and consequently he has a realized surplus of fully 3J^ millions sterling. For the new year
the expenditure apparently will be a trifle over 86>i millions

Service is known; the permanent charge of the debt is also
known. The only point on which any doubt arises is as to
what are called the "Other Consolidated Fund Charges," which
may vary by a few hundreds of thousands of pounds. Possibly, too, the Chancellor of the Exchequer may add something for the 4 millions sterling he is about to lay out in building and repairing barracks. Apparently the expenditure will
not be more than 86^ millions, while the revenue may fairly
be estimated at 90J^ millions sterling, unless the Chancellor of
the Exchequer has any reason for wishing to keep down his

Egyptian governments for the conversion of the Egyptian
Preference debt are going on satisfactorily, and preparations
are being made for converting a part. of the Turkish debt. If
speculation becomes active in Paris, and if prices are raised
considerably, there may be a return of confidence in this
market and business may become larger.
But it is diflicult to see how there can be sustained activity.
Many believe that there must be a collapse in the Argentine
Republic, that Brazilian securities of all kinds must decline
further, and that there must be a liquidation of the bad
still
business accumulated in Germany.
Besides this it is known
that the grettt financial bouses here and upon the Continent,
the syndicates, the trust companies and the large operators,
are heavily loaded with stocks which the public have refused
and in addition to this all prices are exceedingly high.
Egyptian unified bonds this week have been quoted higher
than ever before. Lastly, and not less serious than any of
these facts, is the renewed uneasiness inspired by the removal
of Prince Bismarck. The world had come to the conclusion
that he would maintain the peace as long as he lived. Now
that he is no longer at the helm nobody knows what may
happen. People have become accustomed to expect surprises
from the German Emperor, and they are growing nervous
resi)ecting him.
The dock strike in Liverpool has at last been settled, but
strikes on a smaller scale are going on all over the country,
and the miners of Durham, who only a couple of weeks ago
accepted an advance of 5 per cent from the mine owners,
have put forward a fresh demand for a large advance. It is
hardly thought probable, however, that a strike wiU occur.

as marked as ever almost, although March was not quite as

new
vessels ordered amounted to 80,000 tons, in the
months of this year they have not amounted to
much more than 15,000 tons. The falling off is of course the
result of over-building in the past two years, which has

Geneva, where connection will be made with the New York
Central and Lehigh Valley railways, a distance of about 30
miles, while on the west it is intended to run to HomellsvUle, a
distance of 18 mUes, connecting there with the New York Lake
Erie & Western tor points South and West, thus making it
an important system. These bonds are now offered for the
first time on a basis that will net the investor six per cent.
Since railway enterprises in the State of New York are regarded as among the most desirable, investors will doubtl'^s
find this an issue to meet their approbation upon examination
of its real merits. The Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, this
city, are the trustees of the mortgage.
Buyers and sellers of foreign exchange, cable transfers,
also" commercial credits available in all parts of the world,
should notice the card of the Merchant's Bank of Canada in

In our home market the question of actual values and possible dividends is much more discussed and made a basis of
operations than it was in some former periods. Then, the attitude of certain heavy operators or the possibility of a speculative boom were the main points talked about: but at the
present time we think that the earnings of tlie different properties and the dividend prospects of each one are more seriously weighed than ever before, and if this is true it is a
healthy indication. Dividends must finally be the touch-stone
by which stocks are to be judged, while speculative moves and
combinations on a large scale frequently end in heavy losses to
outsiders, and hence in an ultimate damage to stock business
in general. We saw enough of this with the " Trusts " during

The President, Mr.

the expenses incident to the operations of new mileage,
improvements in terminals and side tracks made necessary
by the increasing volume of traffic, the further improvements
in the machine shops at Owasso, have caused comparatively
larger expenses for the year 1889 than any previous year, to
wit, 67 33-100 per cent.
" The earnings for the first three months this year indicate
gross earnings of $1,450,000, and net earnings of $250,000,
after paying all' expenses and fixed charges. While this
result might justify the payment of a 4 per cent dividend, it
has been decided to continue the present policy of liberal
expenditures for betterments and improvements in the expectation that regular 5 per cent dividends can be safely paid in

Allegheny Tallc.— In Philadelphia it is reported that the
between the holders of the 7 per cent income bonds
of the Allegheny Valley Raih-oad and the Pennsylvania Railroad, endorser of the bonds, is likely to be settled at an early
day, and that the Allegheny Valley will be sold and bought in
by the Pennsylvania Railroad and reorganized. The last
named corporation will then take up all outstanding income
7s, giving in return therefor and all accrued interest, 3 per
cent preferred stock of the new comany. It will issue a $20,000,000 4 per cent loan with which to take up other outstanding
bonds of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, amounting to about
$16,000,000, and apply the remainder to betterments.

met April 16, and the usual dividend of 5 per cent was declared on the stock of the Washington branch on the business
of the branch for the six months ended March 31. No dividend was declared on the common stock. In presenting to the
Board the result of the business for the six month-, the President stated that, while it was gratifying as an evidence of the
satisfactory condition of the company's business, he desired to
remind the board of the large expenditures now being made
and required to be made for some time to come in improving the
efficiency of the various departments of the company; that in
the last six months,in addition to the regular exfienses and fixed
charges, the company had expended nearly $1,500,000 in construction and betterments (many of them permanent), including the acquisition of property and the payment for real estate
axiquired and used for several years, but heretofore in litigation.
The income of the company, as far as it would go, has
been used in these expenditures. For some time to come large
expenditures must in like manner continue to be made, in
order to place the system in theefBcientcondition necessary to
conduct its affairs economically.

will, it is expected, terminate the rale war for lake business
which has been going on for five years and has affected in
some degree the revenues of every soft coal road east of the
Allegheny Mountains.
Adrian IseUn, the New York banker, has exercised absolute
control over the B. R. & P. for years by virtue of the ownership of ^,500,000 out of $6,000,000 of preferred stock and
$2,000,000 out of $6,000,000 common stock. There has been a
constant struggle for tonnage between his road and the Westem New York & Pennsylvania, with the result that freight
rates have delined alarmingly. In 1889, when the feeling was
more bitter than usual, the rate from the minss in Western
Pennsylvania to Buffalo was cut from $riO to 74 cents, and
the business became absolutely unprofitable. On some freight
the rate was only three mills a ton a mile, which did not
pay the cost of moving the tonnage. The roads hauled an immense amount of coal to the lakes at these low rates, and this
glut of coal depressed the price so that there has been little or
no money
in the trade for either the railroad company or the
producer.
Mr. Iselin still retains a large interest, but has sold a sufficient
amount to give the control to the syndicate, headed by Messrs.
Bell, Lewis & Yates of Buffalo.
Tlie control of the Rochester
Coal & Iron Company goes with the railroad stock, the railroad company owning the stock of the coal company. This
gives gives the syndicate in connection with the mining interests of Bell, Lewis & Yates some 30,000 acres of coal lands in
Jefferson County, Penn., having an aggregate output in the
year 1889 of coal and coke of 2,700,000 tons, and making the
concern the largest producers of bituminous coal in the
United States. The change of management will occur on
May 1. The changes in the Board required by the transfer of
control have not been arranged. It is believed, however, that
tional.
The road actually acquired includes the Cin. Southern and
Alabama Great Southern between Cincinnati and Meridian,
Miss., about 631 miles. As to the rest of the so-called Erlanger roads, owned by the Ala. New Orleans & Texas Pacific
Junction Company, and reaching from Meridian to New Orleans and Meridian west to Shreveport, a close working contract has been made by which the roads wiU all be under the

financial responsibility on the part of the latter company

Fitchbnrg Troy & Boston. Among the recent decisions
by the New York Court of Appeals was one of much
interest to the bondholders of the consolidated mortgage of
1874 of the Troy & Boston Railroad Company.
The suit in which the decision is rendered is that of Charles
W. Tillinghast against the Troy & Boston Railroad Company.
In 1887 the Troy & Boston was absorbed by the Fitchburg
RaUroad Company. The mortgage of 1874 was for $1,500,000,
due July 1, 1924, and the bonds paid 7 per cent. It was
agreed that the Fitchburg should devote $1,500,000-4 per cent
twenty-year debenture bonds to the payment of the consolited 7 per cent, mortgage of the Troy & Boston. To this the
consolidated bondholders objected. The Fitchburg people then

favor of A. G. Yates, of the piu:chasing syndicate, but will default in the payment of some small claims which, by the
terms of the mortgage, it was claimed the Troy & Boston had

One of the first results of the deal will be an advance in bound itself to pay. The plaintiff in the action was Tillingfreight rates. The lake coal trade year begins with May, and hast, one of the trustees of the mortgage. The other trustee

The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
became more active on Saturday last, with prices making
some improvement, but it was not until Tuesday that there
was any decided advance. Then the highest figures for this
crop were 15@18 points above the closing bids of the previous Friday. The small crop movement and the more active
spot business at Liverpool were the chief elements of strength,
bringing in buyers to cover contracts, among whom were
former bulls, who had turned bears on general principles
when spot cotton in this market touched ll^c. But with the
higher prices of Tuesday came agitation on 'Change regarding
the Butterworth bill. Dealings in the later options were
much restricted, and prices of all were unsettled. On Thursday
Ellison's figures were published and were regarded as showing

Sales for Future Delivery— the Proposed Bill at
Washington. The various Exchanges throughout the country
—
dealing in agricultural products have been greatly disturbed
by a bill, very radical in its character, introduced in the
House of Representatives by Mr. Butterworth of Ohio. The
bill defining
measure is entitled
options and 'futures,'
and imposing special taxes on dealers therein and for other
purposes." Under the broad provisions of this measure dealers
in options or futures in all farm products or hog products are required to payannuallyataxof $1,000, and also pay "the further
sum of five cents per pound for each and every pound of cotton
or of pork, lard or other hog products, and the sum of twenty
cents per bushel for each and every bushel of any of the other
articles mentioned in the act." Every person engaged in the
option or future business is required to make application in
writing to the Collector of Internal Revenue of the district in
which such business is situated, and to pay to such collector
|1,000 and give a bond for $5,000, with two or more sureties for
faithful compliance with the act. A certificate is then to be
issued authorizing the applicant to be a dealer in " options " or

Mr. S. Gruner, also of the committee, who followed Mr.
Hentz, said he had been greatly surprised that at Washington
the feeling should apparently be so strongly in favor of the
passage of the bill. Remarks were also made by Messrs.
Bloss, Rosenfeld, Ide and Fielding, and before the meeting
adjourned the Secretary read a petition which has been presented at Washington as representing the sentiments of the
banks and bankers of the city. The petition requests the
Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture to use his influence in having the bill re-committed, so that the respective
interests may have an opportunity of presenting their objections.
The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the
members of the Exchange:

and Cotton Exchanges
The Produce
of the city have already presented an
emphatic dissent to the measure in the House through Mr.
Cummings, of New York. They do not object to the portions of
the bill referring to options, but a decided stated is taken, and
with reason, against the taxing of sales' for future delivery.
The system is as necessary to the consumer as to the producer.
The members of the New York Cotton Exchange held a
meeting on Tuesday to further express their views. The
President, Mr. J. H. Parker, in calling the meeting to order,
pointed out the critical condition in which the cotton and
other mercantile Exchanges of the country would be placed it
the bill passed, and stated that the tax proposed, based on the
business of the Exchange, would reach between five and six
hundred millions
of dollars per year,
or nearly twice the
one year's cotton yield.
Mr. Hentz, one of
the committee who went to Washington, spoke quite at length
with regard to the measure. He stated that every business
man sympathizes fully witli section 1 of the bill, which is
meant to prohibit dealings in puts, calls and straddles, and
said that none of the members of the Cotton Exchange dealt
in them.
Mr. Hentz further remarked that many people
outside of the Exchange do not understand tliat the contracts
we deal in contemplate actual delivery of the stuff, and that
it is not betting or wagering in any respect for a decline or an
advance in prices. If the bill is passed, he believed it would
bring about great complications in trade. In explanation of
the nature of the business done at the Exchange, Mr. Hentz

The High Water. Advices to-night indicate that while
the Mississippi River contihues at a very high stage south of
the mouth of the Yazoo River, a gradual fall is taking place
above that point. There have been a few breaks in the levees
reported this week, but all of them have been in Louisiana and
none of them of a serious character. Back water from the
Nita crevasse has flooded the tracks of the Illinois Central
Railroad for a considerable distance, stopping traffic in and
out of New Orleans over that road. The Federal Government
has been requested to aid in checking and closing the break,
and it is believed that the request will be acceded to.

The depth of the inflow of the breaits is greatly misunderstocd. The

The true depth is of course that of the water as It rested against the

BREADSTUFF S.
Frudat. p. M.. April 18, 1890.
The market for fliur was comparatively quiet for the first
half of the week under review. There was a disposition to
advance prices which shut out export orders and put a check
upon local trade. Still there was soma improvement in business from the purchases for home consumption, but it was
not until yesterday that shippers could operate to any extent,
and then they obtained concessions in values which however
did not call for any marked reduction in quotations. To day
the market was steadier but trade was moderate.
The wheat speculation was active and excited early in the
week. There was a severe contest between the bulls and
bears for the control of the market. There were no very
strong influences in operation, but rumors and reports regarding crop prospects and foreign advices were made to serve
the purpose in hand. The squeeze of the "shorts" was at timTa
quite severe; but on Tuesday, in the later dealings, sales to
realize caused a smart decline.
There has been more doing
for export, and yesterday's transactions embraced No. 2 Milwaukee fpring at 89%(o., to a rive, and No. 2 red winter at
f. o.
To-day there was renewed buoyancy,
b.
especially in the later dealings and for the early months,
owing to the continued brisk buying for export, shippers
taking 224,000 bushels, including No. 2 red winter at 97@
97i<c. delivered.
Indian corn futures were variable throughout the week. Supbut a demand to cover contracts gave at times
the advantage to sellers. The improve mant is more decided in
parcels on the spot than for future delivery, and this difference caused at the close an abatement of the buving for
export, which was quite large early in the week. White and
yellow grades are entirely nominal.
Rye is firmer, and yesterday there was a large business for
export. Barley has been more active at full or hardening
prices, but the close is quiet.
