The full details of clearings for the week covered by the
above statement will be given next Saturday. W e cannot,
of course, furnish them to-day, bank clearings being made
np by the various clearing houses at noon on Saturday, and
hence in the above the last twenty-four hours of the week
have to be in all cases estimated, as we go to press Friday night.
W s present below our usual detailed figures for the pre
vious week, covering the returns for the period ending with
Saturday noon. April 15, and the results for the corresponding
week in 1898, 1897 and 1896 are also given. In comparison
with the preceding week there is a decrease in the aggregate
exchanges of one hundred and ninety-eight million dollars,
the loss at New York being one hundred and twenty-nine
millions.
Contrasted
with the
week of 1898
the
total for the whole country shows an increase of 83*0
per oent. Compared with the week of 1897 the ourrent
returns record a gain of 131*5 per oent, and the excess over
1896 is 103*3 per cent. Outside of New York the increase
over 1898 is 37*4 per oent, The excess over 1897 reaches 51*0
per oent, and making comparison with 1896 the gain is seen
to be 39-8 per oent,

THE
C H R O N IC L E .
THE FIN A N CIA L SITUATION.
There has been no very material change this week in
the condition of Stock Exchange business. More
spring-like weather, a better crop outlook, heavy rail
road earnings, a little better demand for some classes
of securities, a little added strength to the market, a
little easier money, with industrial development show
ing no abatement— these are fa'cts that summarize
and indicate the status and trend of affairs. At the
same time, while this is true there has been decided
irregularity from day to day, and on the same day a
strong opening and a weak closing, or vice versa,
with net advances for the week in some prop
erties and recessions in others. The one move
ment wholly out of character with the industrial
situation, and especially out of character with
the foreign trade conditions, is the contin
ued rise in foreign exchange.

tention seems to be attracted to this circumstance; the
rise is classed rather as abnormal and speculative and
not reflecting the actual situation. Even last month’ s
(March) trade statement showed an excess of $31,671,000 of merchandise exports. The current month
will also net a considerable export balance.
Indeed,
it would not surprise us if favorable balances were
carried through the entire summer, as our general ex
ports, aside from breadstufEs, cotton, &c., continue
large, and imports are likely to be smaller again until
the movement for the fall trade begins.
On Tuesday the official crop and weather report was
published for the week ending April 17. It en
courages a much better promise for winter wheat than
previous information led one to expect. We give to
day the portions of the information it contained
relating to breadstuffs and cotton in our special re
ports on those products. The general fact disclosed
was that weather conditions changed at about the
beginning of the second week of April, and since that
change the general outlook for all the crops has im
proved. It would, though,be hasty, we think,to conclude
that every surrounding is full of hope now and is to con
tinue so. Indeed, as the week closes the telegraph
announces a snowstorm in the extreme Northwest.
It may turn out to be of little or no importance. But
from the best information we can get there has been
a good deal of damage done to winter wheat, though
in many sections the fine weather of the last two
weeks indicates that the state of the plant is not so
desperate as the reports the first week of April led one
to suppose. That is, we presume, about what the
latest Government information means with reference
to that cereal. In addition it is stated that planting
has gotten under way, oat seeding being well advanced
and spring wheat started in the earlier sections. If
this better weather should continue, no doubt all the
crops will be speedily in the ground.
The enormous increase in the stock of industrial
corporations traded in at the New York Stock Ex
change has led to the adoption by commission houses
of special rules for handling these properties. There
is, however, even now little uniformity in the rules
observed because there is no uniformity in the secu
rities. Moreover, each house adopts different regu
lations, though all seem to agree upon the one
essential point, that of requiring a larger amount of
cash from speculators in industrials on margin than
[V ol. LXVIII,
is exacted for such dealings in the general assortment
of railroad properties. For example, where the
purchaser on margin of standard railroad stocks is
required to deposit in cash 10 per cent of the par
value of the property, the remainder being borrowed
for him by the commission house, the purchaser of
an industrial stock is required to deposit a larger
amount of cash; in some cases as much as 50 per cent
of the market value of the stock has been exacted,
and ordinarily 25 per cent or more, according to the
character of the security and the facilities which ex
ist for the broker to borrow upon it. In instances
where the property has not sufficient standing to en
title it to reception as collateral under any conditions
most commission houses decline to accept margin
orders, while other houses do so under special ar
rangement.
An incident to be regretted has been the with
drawal by the Metropolitan Railway Company of its
proposition to build an underground rapid transit
road.
It could not have done otherwise than
withdraw in view of the public hostility shown to the
proposal and the criticism it seems to have provoked.
Its action has, though, left a situation which is
unfortunate for the public.
New Y ork wants
rapid transit; it wants the work begun now,
not five years hence, and by parties capable
of carrying the enterprise through expeditiously.
Under this proposal there was good promise that
these ends would b9 gained. To us the offer seemed
likewise to be a happy escape from the danger of hav
ing the city undertake the work. We know that our
view on that point is not the view of many others
whose opinion we value. But we cannot think of any
situation that would be more undesirable than to have
this great city add to its work the building and run
ning of a railroad. What short memories some people
possess! When has the City of New Y ork built any
thing that did not cost at least twice as much as pri
vate enterprise could have done the work for? Are
our people so thoroughly satisfied with the manage
ment of affairs now that they feel anxious or even
ready to throw another responsibility into the hands
of our city fathers— one, too, of such proportions, in
volving the expenditure of sixty millions of dollars,
and when finished so well fitted to be used as an in
strument for political corruption?
Further reasons why we regret the withdrawal of
this proposal are the peculiar advantages its terms
afford to the city, the special opportunities the com
pany’ s system of roads enabled it to offer the public,
and the eminent fitness the company has shown for
wisely and successfully directing such an nndertaking. On this latter point what could be a better
guaranty of fitness for acceptably carrying through this
newer and larger work than the results the company
has attained on its surface roads without any compul
sion whatsoever on the part of the authorities. By
means of a system of transfers put in operation the
average fare taken by the Metropolitan Company
during the crowded hours is only 2£ cents. We thus
see that their conception of the true way to manage
the property they controlled was to increase the
speed, to improve the accommodations and to reduce
the average fare to 2| cents, that is, to reduce it be
low any similar service. Thus it has come to pass
that to-day an individual can go speedily to almost
any destination in the old City of New Y ork for five
A p b ix 22, 1899,
THE CHRONICLE.
cants which would have cost him fifteen cents or
more, at not half the speed, under the old system.
To the class with limited means and to the wageearner this is a boon not easily over-estimated.
But it is not only this public spirited way of develop
ing an enterprise that commends the offer. Besides
that the terms the road proposed were to our mind
very liberal. That, however, is not a point worth
discussing. When the public showed that it thought
them not liberal enough, the only course for the Met
ropolitan Company to take was to make their offer
better or to withdraw. They have done the latter,
because we suppose they took all the risk they
thought it wise to take and gave as large benefits
to the city as in their opinion the undertaking war
ranted. It only remains now for the Legislature to
pas3 the amendment to the Rapid Transit Bill and
if better terms can be obtained the Commissioners
can be trusted to get them.
But there are two facts
or principles which ought to influence public judg
ment in the matter of awarding the contract.
One is that the city stands in great need of rapid
transit now and the sooner the work is begun and the
quicker achieved the sooner the comfort of
men of moderate means will be advanced, the
faster the development of the city will progress, the
real estate valuations will increase, and with wisdom
and prudence m the management of Government
affairs the per cent of taxation to each individual
will lessen. The other fact to remember is that
capitalists and not the city should build and own the
road. It is in the interest of good morals, good gov
ernment and future taxation that we urge that this
idea should prevail.
There has been considerable discussion recently
about the inaccuracies of figures we make up every
Friday to foreshadow the bank return of Saturday. We
began those compilations many years ago; othera
have since undertaken the same work. The compila
tions have been continued by us only because we believe
they show what we undertook to show, and that it is an
important movement they give the measure of. A s
most of our readers know, they are intended to de
termine the volume of the interior flow of currency
to and from our banks each week. We include the
Treasury movement also, so as to bring the whole state
ment of currency changes into correspondence with
the Saturday return of bank holdings. There jarc,
however, several reasons why our weekly results
(although nseful as a close approximation to the fact
they seek to state) should not tally with the bank
return. One of them everybody knows; it is that the
bank figures represent averages for six days and ours
the actual increase or decrease in currency holdings.
But that is not the chief cause of divergence; there is
another source of difference growing out of j the fact
that there is a movement we do not and cannot
record— it is the inflow and outflow of currency over
the counters of the banks. That flow is assumed in
all our statements to average itself; and the {fact is
that it does. Often, though, because of some special
call it is a loDg time before it reaches that condition,
while at other periods the week’s currents and counter
currents will develop nothing to interfere with a
normal movement.
Notwithstanding these and
Other minor sources of difference, occaaionsjjalwaya
happen sooner or later when these divergen ces^ ] U8t
themselves and the aggregate of our statements and
743
of the bank returns come into close correspondence.
This happened to be the case last Saturday, and as we
thought it might interest oar readers we give the
details of the figures since the first of January:

If our friends will look back to the bank returns
of December 31 1898, they will see that bank hold
ings of specie and legal tenders on that day were §224,940,400, and on April 15 1899 they were §241,591,100,
which shows a gain by the banks in those currency
items of $1/3,650,700. It will be noticed that our
figures for the same period show the gain $16,510,000.
Two large railroad companies have this week
issued circulars offering valuable "rights” to their
shareholders. We refer to the Chicago Burlington
& Quinoy and the Great Northern. Aside from the
money value of these rights, the action in both cases
is noteworthy as indicating very conservative methods
of administration. The Burlington & Quincy offers
$4,041,500 of new stock at par and $16,166,000
of
per cent bonds at 75. Of the bonds over 14 mil
lion dollars will go to retire existing issues bearing
a higher rate of interest. The old bonds to be
taken up cover some about to mature, but in
the main they are obligations whioh the com
pany is calling in advance of maturity. In other
words the managers are taking advantage of the high
credit of the company to replace bonds on which it is
now paying 5 to 8 per cent with an issue on which it
will be obliged to pay only 3£ per cent. In two cases
the old issues have to be called at 105, but altogether
$13,787,500 of old bonds will be retired with no more
than $14,235,575 of new bonds. In addition to the re
quirements for refunding, money is needed for equip
ment purposes and various improvements, and ac
cordingly the total of bonds now offered is made
#16,166,000, and ia supplemented by the issue of
four millions of stock. Burlington & Quincy shares
only a little over a year ago sold as low as 86, butjare
now worth 144. Hence by issuing new stock in the
way proposed the company gets needed moneyjwithout adding to its charges, while at the same time the
shareholders in being allowed to take it at par got a
privilege which can be disposed of in the market for a
substantial consideration.
The Great Northern issues $15,000,000 of new stock
to pay for a system of railways in Washington and the
Province of British Columbia. In other words, the
purpose is to acquire the bonds, the debentures and
the capital stock of the Spokane Falls & Northern
Railway, the Nelson & Fort Sheppard Railway, the
Columbia & Red Mountain Railway and the Red
Mountain Railway, aggregating $9,776,200.
These
lines connect with the Great Northern at Spokane
Falls. In addition to the $9,776,200 securities here
enumerated, #7,500,000 of the stock of the Eastern
Railway of Minnesota is also to be acquired. The

(VOL. L X V II
------ ------ -— ‘
The market for money has had an easier tone this
week, though no very important change is noticeable
in rates, either on call, on time or for commercial pa
per. The consensus of opinion on the Street seems
to be that money rates, especially on call, should rule
easier in the near future. This opinion is based
upon the fact that there is comparatively little em
ployment for money in the commercial paper market,
the supply of good names being almost unprecedent
edly small for the season; that the principal banks
in the interior are abundantly supplied with money
jor which they have little employment at home and
they are in competition with the city banks in the
paper market; that it is difficult to make time con
tracts on acceptable collateral at better rates than
4 per cent for four months and 4 i per cent for
six months, and that there should be a return flow
of money not long hence from the interior, as the
requirements for the April settlements have now been,,
and for crop planting will soon be, satisfied. The fact
is recognized that unusually large amounts of money
are being employed for the purchase of industrial
and other properties which are being absorbed by
heavily-capitalized combinations, but the money co l
lected or accumulated for this purpose is only tem
porarily withdrawn from the market and after its dis
tribution the equilibrium is speedily restored. These

by the Great Northern. There is to be an increase
to $12,500,000, and the additional $7,500,000 w ill
under the arrangement proposed also all be owned
by the Great Northern Railway. The Eastern Rail
way has been a very profitable property, the Great
Northern Railway having received $500,000 in the
late fiscal year on the stock held by it— that is, 10
per cent. The $15,000,000 ot new Great Northern
stock is offered to the stockholders at par. As the mar
ket price is 194, the shareholders hence get what is the
equivalent of a handsome bonus in addition to the
regular cash dividends received. But Great Northern
stockholders have fared well from the first. It would
indeed be difficult to point to another railroad prop
erty in the country which within recent times has
netted such handsome returns to its owners. The
credit, of course, all belongs to Mr. Hill. It is worth
noting that this latest step, of providing new money by
the issue of stock, is in line with Mr. Hill’ s policy of
keeping the bonded indebtedness of his properties
down to a minimum.

paper is but meagrely supplied with good names, and
some bankers report that rarely at this season has
there been such a dearth of really first-class paper.
The reason assigned is that collections are unusually
good, and therefore merchants have comparatively
little need to borrow. The demand may be called
urgent, for first-class names are promptly taken when
offered, and there i3 no accumulation. The inquiry
is quite general, embracing city and country buyers.
Eates are 3 }@ 4 per cent for sixty to ninety-day en
dorsed bills receivable, 4 @ 4 } per cent for prime and
5 @ 5 } per cent for good four to six months'’ single
names. It is reported that high-grade bills receivable
have been sold a3 low as 3 per cent, and that very
choice four months’ single-name Chicago paper has
been done at 3 } per cent. Banks having large cor
respondence report generally good business con
ditions throughout the country, an abundance of
money, and the inability of banks satisfactorily to
employ their surplus.
The European political situation is undisturbed,
and about the only feature in the financial outlook is
a speculative movement in copper stocks at London
and Paris. The Bank of England minimum rate of
discount remains unchanged at 3 per cent.
The
cable reports discounts of sixty to ninety day bank bills
at London 2} per cent. The open market rate at Paris
is 2} per cent and at Berlin and Frankfort it !b 3}
per cent. According to our special cable from Lon
don the Bank of England gained £629,861 bullion
during the week and held £30,930,264 at the close of
the week. Onr correspondent further advises us that
the gain was due to the export of £20,000 to the Ar
gentine Republic, to receipts of £172,000 net from the
interior of Great Britain, and to imports of £478,000,
of which £352,000 was bought in the open market

that it will probably soon be paid. But when and
how payment will be made is not known; neither is i t

The foreign exchange market has been quiet though
strong this week, influenced by a reported scarcity
of bankers’ and of commercial bills, and also by a
steady thoagh not urgent demand. The situation
seems inexplicable when the fact is considered that
the trade balance continues to run largely in favor of
this country, and that there are no known or trace
able movements of securities large enough to account
for the absorption of bankers’ sterling based upon
bills which must be constantly made by the exports
of merchandise and manufactures. Bankers say that
the demand for bills is chiefly an over-the-counter in
quiry for travelers’ credits, etc. There does not ap
pear to be any mercantile inquiry of special import
ance for remittance, and certainly none of such mag
nitude as to attract attention. It is said that
there has beeu buying of securities in Lon
don for New York account, bat aside from
the purchases of copper stocks at London and Paris,
reported to be for account of the Standard Oil Com
pany, there is no evidence of anything more than the
usual arbitrage baying of stocks abroad. There is an
attempt to connect this firmness in the market with
the #20,000,000 Philippine payment to Spain. The
market, according to report, has been more or less in
fluenced by the pendency of this payment at least for
three weeks. It is quite likely that the secrecy which
necessarily enshrouds the payment and the remittance
of this large sum of money has a great influence upon

THE B R O O K L Y N R A P ID TRANSIT
DECISION.
The decision handed down this week by the New
York Court of Appeals in the suit of Patrick H.
Flynn against the Brooklyn City R. R., to annul the
lease of that road to the Brooklyn Heights R. R.,
establishes no new point of law. It, however, covers
a matter of considerable interest and importance, and
furthermore it attracts attention because both parties
to the suit, strangely enough, contend that the de
cision is in their favor. The Brooklyn Heights people
claim a victory because the Court of Appeals has sus
tained the ruling of the lower courts, declining to set
aside the lease referred to. FJynn, on the other hand,
maintains that the suit has gone against him on a
mere technicality, that the dictum of the Court indi
cates that if a decision were had on the merits of the
case the ruling would be in his favor, and that hence
a second suit already brought, in which the technical
defects have been avoided, will eventuate successfully.
Indeed, the opinion is by some construed as an ex
pression of belief on the part of the Court that the
charges of fraud and conspiracy are true. As the
Brooklyn City is the backbone of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit system, it is important to know the exact
facts and see just what the Court did decide.
The action was brought by Patrick H. Flynn, as the
owner of 500 shares of the stock of the Brooklyn City
RR., to set aside the lease to the Brooklyn Heights
RR. The Brooklyn City before the lease was a profit
able property, operating an extensive street surface
system, with over 100 miles of constructed track. Its
capital stock was 19,000,000 (subsequently increased
to #12,000,000), and the company had for many years
paid regular dividends of 8 per cent per annum. The
Brooklyn Heights RR., on the other hand, operated a
railroad only half a mile long and had a capital of but
$200,000, which at the time of the lease, in 1893, was
worth, according to the allegations of the bill of com
plaint, not more than 50 per cent of its face value. It
is declared, furthermore, that it was not a paying road,
that its earnings were less than the operating expenses
and fixed charges. A syndicate having acquired a
controlling interest in the stock of the Brooklyn City,
a proposition was made to the stockholders of the lat
ter to lease the road to the Brooklyn Heights RR.
with a guaranty of 10 per cent dividends, to be
secured by a deposit of $4,000,000 as a guaranty fund
with a trust company. Brooklyn City shareholders
were also to have the right to subscribe at 15 for $300
of stock of the Long Island Traction Company (the
[VOL. LXVIII.
predecessor of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company)
for every $100 of Brooklyn City stock held. Suppos
ing they exercised this right, nine-tenths of the stock
of the Traction Company would have gone to the
Brooklyn City shareholders themselves. The other
one-tenth, amounting to $3,000,000, went to the
syndicate at the same price—that is, at $15 per
share.
The proposition had the unanimous approval of the
directors of the Brooklyn City, and the scheme was
carried through on the terms here outlined, the lease
being approved by a more than two-thirds vote of the
Brooklyn City shareholders. Flynn was one of the
dissatisfied minority. He charged that the scheme
was a fraudulent one, that the intention was to divert
a portion of the earnings from the shareholders, that
under the change in motive power to electricity and
the growth in travel and increase in population the
road could be made to earn at least 15 per cent on the
stock, that the Brooklyn Heights was incapable of
paying any dividends upon Brooklyn City stock
otherwise than from the earnings of the Brooklyn
City itself, and that the difference between the 10 per
cent to be paid and whatever might be earned in ex
cess of that sum would inure to the advantage of the
Traction Company, the effect thus being to injure and
defraud the shareholders of the Brooklyn City Com
pany.
Flynn was unsuccessful in his suit at all stages.
When the action came to trial, and after counsel for
Flynn had opened the case, the defendants moved on
the admissions and statements in the opening and
complaint for a dismissal of the complaint “ as not
stating facts sufficient to constitute a cause of
action.”
The Court granted the m otion; the
dismissal was later sustained by the Appellate
Division, and it has now been finally affirmed
by the Court of Appeals. The grounds of defeat were
the same in each instance, and there has been no
difference of opinion on this point at any time. All
are agreed in saying that Flynn erred in not first
making demand for relief and protection upon the
Brooklyn City Company before entering suit; that the
right of action rests primarily in the company, and
should not have been taken in his own name until the re
fusal of the company to recognize his protest. The point
of doubt is as to whether the outcome would have
been any different had the case been tried on its
merits. As already stated, great stress is laid, in sup
port of the affirmative view, upon the references in the
opinion to the allegations of fraud. It is assumed
that these allegations are regarded by the Court as
well founded. Candor compels the admission that in
the language used Judge Yann has gone much further
than is customary in judicial opinions in dealing with
the allegations of a complaint. But that does not
alter the fact that there was no trial of the question
of fraud, and no evidence either in support or dis
proof of it. Obviously, therefore, there could be no
conclusion on that point except so far as technically
the defendants admitted the allegations of the com
plaint in making the motion of dismissal.
It follows that no inference adverse to the company
can be drawn from the remarks of Judge Vann. More
over, he leaves no room for doubt as to the principles
that have guided him. For instance, in one place we
find him saying: “ For the purpose of this appeal such
facts as could properly have been proved under the
allegations of the complaint, when supported by

or of all three, will increase proportionately next
year’s outlay by the British Exchequer. If the Czar
can succeed in calling even a temporary halt in the
increase of these armaments—and we suppose this to
be his purpose—he will have accomplished much.
His plan will at least be helped by the fact that each
of the European Powers is realizing that the road on
which they have been traveling, in the matter of
competitive armaments, has no end except exhaustion.
Members of the French Government have lately
admitted in public that conscription for the army
has already practically reached its limit. This is a
physical obstacle to continuance in the present plan.
The possible financial onstacles may perhaps be
emphasized by the Czar’s frank statement of the
case, reinforced by the admissions of the British
Budget.
RATES O F IN TE RE ST O N R EAL ESTATE
MORTGAGES.
In no line of investments in this country during
the past few years has the decline in the rateB of in
terest been more marked than in real estate mortgage
loans. Moreover, ten or fifteen years ago the dilfererence between interest rates in the East and in the
West was much more marked than at present, the
rates varying from 5 per cent to 6 per cent in New
York and other Eastern cities, as against 8 per cent
to 18 per cent in the newer sections of the West, then
being rapidly opened up. The abnormal demand for
mortgage money in the West evidenced by these high
rates led to the creation of some two hundred mort
gage companies, which were tempted by the high re
turn to accept practically every loan offered.
The
failure of these speculative companies begau six or
eight years ago, and they are now practically out of
existence.
Meanwhile, it is worthy of note, that uninfluenced by
the disastrous results of hasty and ill-judged loans on
farms in undeveloped sections, the savings banks,
insurance companies and trust companies of the East
continued to loan on established real estate security
in the older cities, with constantly decreasing rates
of interest.
The fact that during the years of depression follow
ing the panic of 1893 the interest on the best mort
gages continued to decline, proved that there was an
increasing demand among conservative investors for
this class of security. During these years the rates
in Hew York City gradually dropped to 4 per cent
for mortgage loans of the highest grade,
per cent
for the next grade of loan3, and 5 per cent for the re
maining loans. Meanwhile the figures in Boston and
Philadelphia closely approximated those in Hew York,
and were in some instances oven lower, owing to the
small amount of building in these cities and the con
sequent absence of demand for money, and in the
larger cities of the Middle West 5 percent was the rul
ing ratefor loans, with 41 por cent occasionally granted
on a loan of exceptional merit.
The past yaar has shown a still more rapid fall in
the interest rates, loan? having been made at
per
cent in Boston; 3£ per cent in Hew York, Philadel
phia and Chicago; 4 per cent in St. Louis, Cincin
nati, Cleveland and Toledo;
per cent in Kansas
City; 41 per cent in Hew Orleans, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Minneapolis and St. Paul, and 5 por cent
in Salt Lake City, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, etc.
749
It will thus be seen that the rates of interest on the
choicest real estate loans have dropped in unison with
those yielded by the highest-grade railroad and mu
nicipal bonds, and are rapidly tending to the mort
gage rates current in Europe.
The chief difference between the mortgage situa
tion in this country and in Europe is that while the
controlling factors in the mortgage field in this
country have been the life insurance companies, of
whom five hold mortgage investments aggregating
over $250,000,009, and the saviugs banks, whose ag
gregated loans, scattered throughout the country, run
up into the thousands of millions of dollars; in Eu
rope the controlling factors have been the mortgage
companies, which started about 150 years ago and have
grown to be among the strongest and largest financial
institutions in the world; the Credit Foncier of Prance
having $850,000,000 of mortgage bonds outstanding;
the German Mortgage Banks $1,200,000,000; the
Horth German Mutual Credit Association $500,000,000; the Austrian Mortgage Companies $300,000,000,
and the Danmark Cred't Association $200,000,000.
These companies were started under government
supervision, the fundamental idea being to render
convertible at least one-half of the value in the enor
mous aggregate of improved income-producing real
estate, both in cities and in the country, much of
which had not been, up to that time, available for
collateral. It was owing to this desire to render and
keep convertible a large amount of real estate value
which led to the making of long-time loans, extend
ing from 20 to 95 years, with an average term of be
tween 40 and 50 years. The mortgage companies pro
tected themselves against possible loss caused by the
depreciation of improvements or shifting of loan
values by requiring small annual payments in the
reduction of the loan, while the borrowers were pro
tected by having the option of paying off the entire
loan at any time. The high degree of security offered
by these bonds created a market for them at rates o f
interest from 3 per cent to 4 per cent, while recently
the Credit Foncier, it is stated, has sold $10,000,000
of bonds ut 2-6 por cent.
The difference in interest on bonds sold and m ort
gages made was ordinarily limited by competition, but
in some cases by law, as in France to 60 of 1 per cent
per annum; in Austria to '65 of 1 per cent per annum
and in Italy to *60 of 1 per cent per annum.
During the long period in which these mortgage
bonds have been listed on the European stock ex
changes they have exhibited striking stability in price,
even on occasions of national disturbance.
They ap
pear to have been in Europe a security which, while
not adapting itself to speculation, provides a
maximum of safety with a ready convertibility and a
fair rate of interest.
This method of financing real estate loans has not
as yet been widely adopted in this country owing n o
doubt to the competition of the life insurance com
panies, which are so ranch moro powerful than abroad,
and of the savings banks, whose investments are
limited by law to real estate mortgages and a few
classes of bonds. In New York City there are bat
two companies following the lead of the European
mortgage companies— one which started a few years
ago making loans at 5 per cent and selling them
with the company’ s guaranty at
per cent, and
which is now making loans at 4 per cent and selling
them with the company’s guaranty at 3^ per cent;

FO R
No one needs to be apprised as to the character of
our compilations of railroad gross and net earnings
for the month of February. The conditions were
such as to preclude any but an unfavorable result.
The weather was the main adverse influence, but this
was a factor of great moment. As will be remem
bered, February was the month when the whole
Eastern half of the country experienced a blizzard
which in severity and duration was comparable only
to the memorable blizzard of March 1888. The effect
as far as the railroad lines were concerned was to tie
up for longer or shorter periods nearly all the roads
in this part of the country, and to seriously impede
the operation of the lines in other parts.
Thus
there was a loss in a double way: first, in reducing
the volume of traffic and consequently decreasing
earnings, and secondly in greatly augmenting op
erating expenses because of the cost of removing
snow and ice and keeping the lines open.
The state of things here outlined is reflected with
striking force in the tables we have compiled. In
brief there is a loss in the aggregate in both gross
and net earnings. In the gross the loss is compara
tively small, reaching only $405,057 or but about § of
one per cent. In the net, however, the decline is
heavy, it amounting to almost three million dollars—
in exact figures $3,953,205 or 15-4I per cent. Here
are the aggregates for February and for the two
months ending with February.

There are a few roads that have been able to make
quite large gains in earnings, notwithstanding the
weather. These are found chiefly among the West
ern wheat-carrying and the Mexican roads: and the
Reading Coal & Iron Company by reason of heavy
coal sales shows the largest gain in gross of any road
in our list. The roads reporting decreases are very
numerous, and in the net many of these are for large
amounts. Below we show all changes, whether gains
or losses, exceeding $30,000.

IMPORTS AND EX PO R TS OF GOLD AN D
SILVER A T S A X FRANCISCO
The Collector of Customs at San Francisco has furnished
this week the details of imports and exports of gold and
silver through that port for the month of March, and they
are given below in conjunction with the figures for preced
ing months, thns completing the results for the nine
months of the fiscal year 1898-99. The imports of gold are
much less than in any month since January 1898, the amount
received reaching $1,158,031, of which $1,042,499 was in
coins. Of silver there came in $227,861, of which $156,151
was bullion. During the nine months there has been received
a total of $37,948,674 gold and $1,533,442 silver, which com
pared with $16,356,295 gold and $1,665,210 silver in 1897-98.
The shipments of gold daring March were $381,189, almost
wholly coin, and the exports of silver have been $212,910, of
which $111,757 was coin. For the nine months the exports
of gold have reached $1,282,772, against $1,098,128 in 1867 98,
and $4,055,233 silver has been sent out, against $8,337,121 in
1897-98. The exhibit for March and the nine months is as

— Preliminary steps have been taken by some of the promi
nent residents of Fiatbnsb, in the Borough of Brooklyn,
toward the organization of a trust company, with a capital of
$200,000 and a surplus of $30,000. The place is rapidly grow
ing, comparatively large real estate interests are centered
there, and there would seem to be some need for such an
institution.
— The Corn Exchange Bank will on May 1 open a branch
of the institution at the corner of Broadway and Spring
street to be known as the “ Corn Exchange Bank, Broadway
Branch," The President will be Mr, F. C. Mahew, formerly
president of the Bowery Bank and for twenty years con
nected with that institution, Mr. B. Hollander, of J. R.
Simon & Co., will act as Vice-President and the advisory
board will consist of Messrs, B. Hollander, Martin Schrenkeisen, Charles Golden, Herman C. Strobel, Roswell P.
Flower, William E. Clark, Thomas T. Barr, Thomas A .
McIntyre, John D. Walsh and William A. Nash, the latter
President of the Corn Exchange Bank, On March 20 the
merger of the Corn Exchange Bank, the Hudson River Bank
and the Astor Place Bank took effect, and when the new
branch shall be opened the Corn Exchange will have three
branch banks in this city.
—It now seems highly probable that the Franklin National
Bank, located at the corner of Greenwich and Day streets,
will soon be reorganized with increased capital and a work
able sarplns. At a meeting of the stockholders held on
Wednesday afternoon plans for the reorganization of the
bank were submitted by the committee, and it was decided
to increase the capital from $200,000 to $500,000, and also to
provide a paid-up surplus of $100,000, This action was taken
after a formal motion for the voluntary liquidation of the
bank had been defeated by a decided majority. Another
meeting of the stockholders will be held May 33 at which it
is expected that the plan for reorganization will be adopted
and the new capital subscribed.

[From onr own correspondent.)
L o n d o n , Saturday, April 8, 1899.
The influence of the Easter holidays continues still to be
felt in the markets. As the weather was very fine, large
numbers of persons left the city, and very many of them
have not yet returned. There is, consequently, but a thin
attendance at the Stock Exchange, and the public is keeping
aloof from the markets.
In Paris the monthly settlement wlrch ended on Thursday
showed a comparatively large account open for the rise, and
it is believed that a great number of the operators were weak
people. At all events, several of the great banking estab
lishments made difficulties about carrying over, and many of
the speculators had to close their accounts. Rates were
stiff considering the large supply of money that exists and
the really small account. For it is to be recollected that
very little business has been done on the Paris Bourse for
the past couple of years, and that it is only within the last
month or two that any revival of specnlation has occurred.
Small, however, as has been the increase, many of the lead
ing banks thought it desirable to check bujiDg,
In Berlin the monthly settlement passed off quietly, and
considering the state of the money market rates were mod
erate: but there is very little doing. For years past there
has been a very active speculation; especially the number o f
new industrial companies brought out is exceptionally great.
As these companies are doing well, and are paying fairly
good dividends, investors are unwilling to sell. On the
other hand, it is understood that the hanks have lent im
mense sums on these industrial securities, and the investors
therefore are to a large extent indebted to the banks for the
means of holding to their securities. The banks, up to now.

C H R O N IC L E
have not applied much pressure to compel selling; but they
are beginning to do so, and they are not willing to afford
further accommodation for; continued buying. In AustriaHungary scarcely anything is doing, and in Italy matters
are very quiet.
Here at home trade is marvelously good and is still ex
panding. In the financial year ended on March 1 the total
receipts into the Exchequer, that is, the total amount col
lected for Imperial purposes, amounted to the enormous sum
of £108,336,198. In addition over
millions sterling were
collected and paid over to the local taxation accounts, so
that the total receipts for Imperial and local purposes
reached the unprecedented sum of £117,857,353. The Im
perial receipts alone exceed by about 1)4 millions sterling
the estimates framed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer
twelve months ago, and they exceed by nearly
millions
sterling the total amount received in the year 1897-98. The
expenditure amounted to £108,150,235, showing a net sur
plus of nearly £186,000. These immense figures testify to
the great prosperity of the country. There is a growth under
almost all the great heads of revenue, the only important
exception being customs. There, however, the falling oil is
mainly due to the reduction in the tobacco duty made by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer a year ago. The railway
traffic returns prove that business is still improving. And
all the market reports are to the same effect. The Budget
will be introduced on Thursday next. According to the
figures it looks as if the Chancellor of the Exchequer will
have to impose new taxation to the amount of about 3
millions sterling, and there is naturally much interest as to
the way in which he will cover the deficit.
Trade in every form being so good, and the people being
so prosperous, there is a very general feeling that we shall
soon see a further advance upon the Stock Exchange. It is
true, indeed, that the prices of all the great investment
stocks are very high, and that even in the more speculative
securities, such as gold shares, there has been a very great
advance. Still the feeling of the city is that we are about
to witness a further considerable rise in prices. Or Monday
next the fortnightly settlement will begin in mining secur
ities and on Tuesday in other securities. When the account
is arranged the expectation is that business will again ex
pand. Money, to be sure, is rather scarce, but it is not
likely that it will become dear for some time yet. And
therefore the impression is very prevalent that business of
all kinds will continue to improve.
In the American department there is a certain amount of
speculation; but the public is holding aloof. And, indeed,
the same is true of all the great departments. There is
more animation, perhaps, in Rhodesian and Western Austral
ian mining shares than in any other market. But even in
these taere has been a falling off of activity during the
week. In Transvaal mining shares there is a decided check,
chiefly due to the presentation of the petition from the Uitlanders to the Imperial Government, which inspires a fear
that difficulties may arise with the Transvaal Government.
In British securities of all kinds, in Colonial and in South
American tnere is little doing for the time being.
As already said, money is rather scarce. The Bank of
England on Wednesday paid out about 5J^ millions sterling
for interest on the national debt and for other purposes,
but so large were the loans obtained from the bank, during
the preceding three or four weeks that the outside market
had to renew several of these loans. It looks, therefore, as
if the Bank would continue to maintain control of the out
side market for some time yet. The B ink is buying gold in
the open market, for, considering all the circumstances of
the time, the reserve is not very large. There is littledemand
for gold tor the Continent, and none for the United States;
and therefore if the Bank acts vigorously it ought to
be able to secure a very large amount of the metal. The
India Council, which has to pay large sums at the beginning
of April, has been calling in loans from the market during
the week, and thus has helped to denude it of supplies;
and, lastly, the Scotch banks are preparing to send to
Scotland an exceptionally heavy amount of gold. A t the
end of April or the beginning of May there is always a
considerable expansion in the note circulation in Scotland,
lu the country, what are called term payments amount to ex
ceptional sums in May and November. Consequently the
banks have to issue unusually large amounts of notes; and
to be able to do this they have to provide themselves with
[VOL. L X V ill.
more gold than they usually hold. This year the expansion
of the note circulation in Scotland is beginning much earlier
than usual, and is likely to prove very much heavier, mainly
because trade in Scotland is wonderfully active, especially
shipbuilding and all the trades that minister to shipbuilding.
But though it seems certain that the Bank of England
will retain control of the outside market for the next six
weeks or so, and therefore will be able to regulate rates, it
is not at all probable that money will become really scarce
and dear, unless, of course, something unforeseen happens.
If there were to spring up a very large demand for gold for
the United States or for Germany, rates of course would
rapidly rise here. But apparently not much gold will be re
quired by either.
In Germany, as already said, the settlement has passed
over quietly. Speculation has been checked. And the
banks, aware that prices are already high enough, are dis
couraging new operations.
Moreover, they recognize that
unless they take timely precautions there will be another
serious stringency in September, and it is therefore under
stood that gradually and cautiously they are inducing their
customers to reduce their accounts. A t all events, while
money is wanted, and the Imperial Bank rate of discount
remains at
Per cent, it is not thought probable that there
will be any stringency for some time to come.
In France, though there is improvement, there seems no
likelihood of any considerable rise in rates, and it is
thought entirely improbable that the Indian Government
will begin to accumulate gold for some time. The Currency
Commission is just about closing the taking of evidence. It
is thought that the consideration of a report will take up at
least a couple of months, for it is known that there is great
diversity of opinion amongst the members of the Com
mission, and the general expectation is that there will be at
least two reports. When the Commission has reported the
Indian Government will have to arrange with the Home Gov
ernment as to what is to be done. And it is thought exceed
ingly improbable that either Government will do anything
to disturb the market just at the beginning of the autumn.
Meantime the India Council continues to sell its drafts
very satisfactorily. It offered f or tender on Wednesday 60
lacs and the applications exceeded 485 lacs. The whole
amount offered was sold at prices averaging about Is. 4d
per rupee.

oping day by day. The volume of business was sm aller than
of late, steadily declining from over 800,000 shares on Mon
day and averaging about 815,000 shares per day. The anthra
cite coal stocks were exceptionally strong, lea by Delaware
& Hudson which at its highest quotation of the week showed
a gain of 7:i t points. This advance is based on the expecta
tion that favorable trade conditions w ill be maintained.
The grangers were also relatively firm , and of this group B u r
lington St Quincy was the buoyant feature. It sold on
Wednesday nearly 5 points above last week’s closing price
and shows a net gain of 2% points. St. P a u l was stim ulated
! by favorable trafiic reports. Great Northern advanced on
1
announcement that stockholders w ill have the rig h t to sub
scribe fo r a percentage of new stock to be issued next month
and the preferred more than made up the dividend w hich
came off on Tuesday. Louisville & N ashville was strong on
dividend rumors, and w ith Southern R ailw ay preferred
shows a net gain of about 3 points. The local traction stocks
were erratic, but- generally weak, and these w ith the indus
tria l list have been, ss usual, favorites w ith the speculative
element. O f the 1itte r group Anaconda Copper M ining has
become prominent and advanced over 1 1 points this week.
Colorado Fuel & Iron exceeded this, however, having sold up
to 55 to day, a gain of over 17% points. New York A ir
Brake made an advance of 13 points.

American Ice Co.—K nickerbocker Ice Co. o f Chicago.—
Negotiations Pending.—The “ Cleveland Leader” on April
15 Baid: The “ Sandnskv ice king,” Charles L. Wagner, was
in the city yesterday. He says that all dealers in both nat
ural and artificial ice in eight of the larger central State
cities are or soon will be in the combination. A stock com
pany organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey
770
THE
C H R O N IC L E .
was formed some weeks ago, with New York money chiefly
behind the move. Promoter Warner, together with John b.
Field, of Chicago, President of the Knickerbocker Ice Co. of
that city, were the active pushers of the scheme. It is stated
that ice concerns of the following cities will be absorbed:
Cleveland, Buffalo, Toledo, Erie. Columbus, Cincinnati, In
dianapolis and St. Louis. “ While the sale of the various
ice ooncerns will be outright,” said Mr. Wagner, “ they will
continue to remain under their respective managements, and
the stockholders of the individual concerns will have the
privilege of taking a limited amount of stock in the big com
pany. The ultimate end of the deal will probably be a uni
fication of interests with the Knickerbocker Ice Co. of Chi
cago," continued Mr. Wagner, “ although at present the new
concern is a separate institution.”
The con olidation is presumably to take place under the
title of the American Ice Co., incorporated in New Jersey
March 11 with $00,000,000 of authorized capital stock.—V.
O p. 522; V. 68, p. 720.

American Railways Co.—Incorporated.—This company,
with an authorized capital of $25,000,000, was incorporated
at Trenton, N. J., on April 19. The company is empowered
to build, construct and operate electric and other railways.
The incorporators are Frank R. Hansell, George B. Martin
and William F. Eidell, all of Camden. A Philadelphia paper
describes the project substantially as follows: The business
of the company will be confined strictly to the purchase and
control of existing electric railways throughout the country.
It will not enter the field of electric lighting and power, and
will therefore not compete with the Electric Co. of America.
The new company will be controlled by the same interests
that now predominate in the management of the Electric
Co. of America*and the United Gas Improvement Co., and
its policy, it is stated, will be similar to that pursued in
the case of those companies in their control of electric
lig hting and power companies and gas companies respectively.
The capital of the new company will be $25,000,000, divided
into 500,000 shares of par value of $50; 250,000 shares will be
issued at once, on which the first instalment will be $5 per
share; the balance, 250,000 shares, will remain in the treasur' ; the first call of $5 will give the company $1,250,000 with
which to begin business. The 250,000 shares treasury stock
will be issued as occasion requires.

The meeting was held at 36 Wall Street, where are located
the offices of the American Steel Barge Co. The ship
yards, machinery, docks, buildings and dry-dock of this lastnamed company were transferred to the Superior Ship
building Co., and by it to the American Shipbuilding Co.
The fleet of some forty vessels on the lakes owned by the
American Steel Barge Co. will continue to be owned by
the original corporation. The American Steel Barge Co.
in 1893 made a mortgage to the Farmers Loan & Trust
Co. as trustee to secure $2,600,000 of 5 per cent gold bonds
due Jan. 1, 1923, but subject to call at any time at 105 and
interest on ninety days’ notice. Last year there were
$1,600,000 of these outstanding. The officers and directors are:

American W oolen Co.— Officers — The company, it is
said, began active operations on Tuesday. The officers
are: President, Frederick Ayer; Vice-President, Joseph G.
Ray; Treasurer, William Wood. The prospectus was cited in
V. 68, p. 472. The “ National Western Co.” is said to be pro

general lines as the American Woolen Co.—V. 68, p. 472.
Anacostia & Potomac River Ry.—M ortgage—The com
pany has created an issue of $8,000,000 five per cent 50 year
gold bonds secured by mortgage to the Baltimore Trust &
Guarantee Co. as trustee. Of the authorized amount, $750,000,
it is stated, will remain in the treasury. The company
recently purchased the Belt Ry. and the Capital Traction
Co., and has been authorized by Congress to buy the Brightwood Ry. Co.; Washington Woodside & Forest Glen Ry. &
Power Co., of Montgomery County, Md., and the City &
Suburban Ry. of Washington.—V. 68, p. 426.
Atlanta ((la .) Consolidated Street Ry.—Atlanta Street
R y.—Consolidation Pending.—Negotiations for the consoli
dation of these properties, it is known, have been pending for
some time. As to the present status of the project the
“ Atlanta Constitution” of April 13 says the deal involves
“ the formation of a new company with a capital stock of
$2,000,000, the majority being held in Atlanta and the re
mainder in Baltimore; the purchase of the Georgia Electric
Light plant, or in event of a failure to secure that plant,
the building of a new light plant; the floating of $5,000,000 in
bonds to take up the outstanding indebtedness of the con
solidated and Traction companies as it now exists, and for
other needed purposes; $750,000 to be applied to the acquisi
tion of an electric-light plant.
The Atlanta Electric Ry. Co., it is said, will also be merged
in the consolidated company.—V. 68, p. 84 ; V. 67, p. 1054.

J. Breed, Oakes Ames and Charles E. Adams, all of Boston.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit R R .—B rooklyn City R R .—
Decision as to Lease.—The Court o f Appeals of this State has
this week affirmed the decision of the Appellate Division dis
missing the suit of Patrick H. Flynn, seeking an annulment
of the lease of the Brooklyn City Railroad to the Brooklyn
Heights Railroad. The Court holds that Flynn did not pro
ceed in the right way; that he erred in not first making
demand upon the company to bring the action before begin
ning a suit in his own name. Some remarks of Judge, Vann
(who delivered the opinion) concerning the allegations of
fraud and conspiracy made by Flynn have been taken as
possibly foreshadowing the decision of the Court in an action
where the case was considered on its merits. But as shown
in our editorial columns elsewhere, there is no warrant for
this view. Counsel for Flynn have announced that they will
now push to trial another suit already begun in which the
technical error committed in the present suit is avoided.—
V. 268 p. 721.
Brooklyn Gas & E lectric L ight Co.—Brooklyn Borough
Gas Co.—Purchase.—The Brooklyn Gas & Electric Light Co.,
recently incorporated in New Jersey, it is learned, was or
ganized by Stahl & Straub, of Philadelphia, and has pur
chased the entire capital stock, $500,000, of the Brook
lyn Borough Gas Co., whose p ant is in the Thirty-first
Ward, Brooklyn. (See description of property and bonds, V.
68, p. 230). The Brooklyn Gas & Electric Light Co., it is
stated, has issued 30,000 shares of capital stock, each share
be iD g $50, with $5 paid in, and will retain an additional
10,000shares in its treasury.—V. 68, p. 230.
Canadian P acific Ry.—M inueapolls St. Paul & Sault Ste.
Marie R y.—Guaranteed Second Mortgage Bonds.—A t the an
nual meeting of the Canadian Pacific shareholders on April
5 it was stated that the deficits which the Canadian Pacific
Ry. Co. has been called upon to make good for account of
the Minneapolis St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Ry. “ have been
entirely due to expenditures for equipment, terminal facili
ties and general improvements, such as are incident to a new
and growing property. The total advances amount to $1,431663, while the expenditures for equipment, terminal facilities
and general improvements during the years in which these
advances were made foot up $1,748,041.” The following
resolution relating to an agreement with the Minneapolis
St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Ry. Co., providing for extended
traffic arrangements and for the guaranty by the Canadian
Pacific Ry. Co. of the interest on an issue by that company
of second mortgage bonds, was then recommended and
unanimously adopted, viz.:

The Secretary of the Canadian Pacific says: “ This arrange
ment will enable the Soo Company to devote its net earnings
to the payment of its interest charges, and at the same time
to repay in annual instalments the interest which has been
advanced by your company. Its improved earnings justify
the belief of your directors that it will not only be able to
do this, but to make a return on its capital stock, of which
your company holds more than one-half."
Capital Expenditures.—The shareholders also authorized
expenditures by the Canadian Pacific Ry. Co. on capital ac
count during the current year aggregating $3,544,176, viz:

apparent from the active demand latterly experienced in the
wholesale trade. The general business situation, however,
has continued a healthy one, as in most lines of trade mer
chants have had a reasonably active demand and there has
been no pronounced sagging o f values. The official opening
of the Erie Canal das been postponed to noon, April 26. The
lateness of the opening of navigation in the interior is hav

chandise between the seaboard and the interior. Crop dam

been done. Latterly, however, weather conditions have been
favorable and good progress has been reported made in the

New O rleans...
Speculation in cotton for future delivery has be,n slow,
the market for the week being a dull and listless one. L it
tle if any new interest has been shown by outsiders, they
seeing nothing in the situation to induce buying, and regular
operators have confined their ventures to scalping trans
actions; in fact the general disposition has been to hold off
and await developments over the start and prospects for the
new crop. Weather conditions have continued favorable in
the cotton belt and planting has latterly made good progress.
The movement of the crop has continued fairly full, and as
the demand for cotton has been light, this too has had its influ
ence in discouraging buying. Immediately following our last
report there was something of a rally in prices. The liquida
tion by tired longs appeared to be largely over, and there de
veloped a demand from shorts to cover contracts; there
was also some buying by local operators for a slight upward
turn to values. Subsequently, however, there was a gradual
sagging of values. The continued favorable weather at the
South, improved crop prospects and a fairly full movement
of the crop checked the buying, and under gradual unload
ing by recent buyers the improvement in values was lost.
Liverpool has done some buying of the near-by deliveries to
undo " straddles,” but has sold the new-crop deliveries. T o
day there was a dull but steady market. There was some
selling of the near months by longs, but they in turn bought
the far months. Less favorable weather conditions in the
Southwest also had a strengthening influence upon prices for
the new crop months. The close was steady, with prices 1
point higher for the day. Cotton on the spot "has been quiet;
prices advanced 3-6 c. on Monday and declined l-16c. on
Wednesday. The close was quiet at 6J^c. for middling up
lands.
On the basis of the rates on and off middling as established
by the Revision Committee, the prices for a few of the
grades would be as follows:

B R E A D S T U F F S .
F r i d a y , April 21, 1899,
There has been a firmer market for wheat flour, sellers
holding for higher prices owing to an advance in the values
for the grain. A t the increased costs, however, the volume
of business transacted has been of only very moderate pro
portions, as buyers as a rule have been disposed to confine
their purchases to immediate wants. In a few instances
there have been some sellers who have quietly shaded asked
prices to effect sales. Exporters have shown little disposition
to trade, as they have few orders. City mills have had a
limited sale at slightly higher prices. Rye flour has been
quiet hut steady. Corn meal ha3 had only a moderate sale
prices have been well maintained.
Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been fairly
active at advancing prices, particularly for the distant de
liveries. The strengthening feature has been numerous;
reports received from the winter-wheat belt stating that
considerable damage bad been done to the crop by the severe
weather experienced early in the spring. A t the higher
prices, however, there has been free selling by outside longs
to realize profit*, and thiB has had a tendency to hold the
demand in check to some extent. Weather conditions lat
terly have been favorable, and the fact that within the past
week gcod progress has been made in the preparations for
the spring wheat crop also has had its influence in holding
the upward tendency to values in check. Foreign markets
have been alow to respond to the advance in prices, and ex
porters have be en slow to make purchases of actual wheat
other than for opening of navigation on the cut freight rates.
To-day there was a fairly active market. Early in the day
the tone held steady, but toward the close, under realizing
sales, prices declined, and the close showed prices ££@1J£
lower for the day. The spot market has been active at
lower prices. Exporters have been free buyers. The sales
reported here and at outports were 960,000 bushels, of
which about one-half were confirmed.

Oats for future delivery at the Western market have been
only moderately active. Early in the week, on a light crop
movement, a small decrease in the supply in sight and sym
pathy with the rise in other gTams, prices advanced slightly.
Subsequently, however, following the reaction in corn, the
improvement in prices was lost. Business in the spot market
has been more active at steady prices. Exporters have
been fair buyers. To-day the market was quiet bui steady.
The spot market was moderately active at unchanged prices.
No export sales were reported.

change of any moment until near the close of the week

invalid. These bonds were provided for in the new city
charter granted by the State Legislature in February. It w a s
thought, according to the Portland “ Oregonian,” that Sec
tion 78 of the city charter, which reads, “ This Act shall be
in force from and after its approval by the Governor," im
plied that the bill went into effect immediately, but such,
under the provisions of Section 28, Article 4 of the Constitu
tion, is now stated not to be the case, as has been held in
several decisions of the Supreme Court. The section-re
ferred to says with regard to bills parsed by the Legislature:
“ No Act shall take effect until 9 1 days from the end of the
session at which the same shall have been passed, except in
case of emergency ; which emergency shall he declared in
the preamble or body of the law.”
As it is not expressly declared in the charter that an emer
gency exists, the only statement being that it shall be in
force after its appioval, the bill will not go into effect, it
is stated, until about the middle of May, and therefore an
other election will have to he held to authorize the bonds.
