requirements, and therefore was compelled in the last
hour to obtain a much larger sum.
The week’ s range for call money has been 3 to 16 per
cent, averaging fully 7 per cent. On Monday and on
Tuesday the range was from 5 per cent to 7 per
cent, with the bulk of the business at 6 per cent. On
Wednesday the range was, as already stated, from 5
per cent to 16 per cent, with the ruling rate at 6 per
cent, though considerable sums were loaned in the
last hour at 8 and at 13 per cent.
Liberal offerings
by foreign bankers caused the rate to fall to 5 per
cent at the close. On Thursday the range was from
3 per cent to 13 per cent, with the bulk of the bus
iness at 6 per cent. The higher rate was recorded in
the early part of the day, borrjwers apparently fear
ing that money might be difficult to obtain in the
afternoon, but the general early satisfaction of re
quirements tended to lessen the late demand, and free
offerings forced the rate to 3 per cent, though the
last loan was at 5 per cent. On Friday the range
was from 5 per cent to 15 per cent, with the
majority of the business at 9@10 per cent. Banks
and trust companies quote 6 per cent as the
minimum, though on Wednesday and thereafter
loans were made by them at nearly the highest
rates on the Exohange.
Time contracts on good
mixed Stock Exchange collateral are quoted at 4 per
cent for sixty to ninety days and 4@4£ per cent for
longer periods, according to the date of maturity and
the character of the collateral. For loans on indus
trial security and where contracts are made, they are
at special rates.
One time contract made during the
week by a prominent down-town bank was a loan at 5
per cent for six months on a line of railroad
stock and bond collateral with an admixture of a few
hundred shares of a dividend-paying industrial stock,
the margin required for the whole loan being
40 per cent, instead of the customary 20
per cent on a good
mixed security
loan.
There is a better supply of commercial paper in the
market, but at the same time the out-of-town demand
is so urgent that the offerings are promptly absorbed
and there is no accumulation of names. The local
inquiry is only fair. Rates are 3^@4 per cent for
sixty to ninety day endorsed bills receivable, 4@4£
per cent for prime, and o@ 6 per cent for good four to
six months’ single names. The Chicago & Alton syn
dicate will make another payment on account of the
stock on Monday, amounting to about $8,000,000, and
this payment will very nearly complete all the transfer
of money required for the purchase.
The European political situation has been without
important feature this week. There was the usual de
cline in money rates at London, following the begin
ning of the new quarter. The Bank of England
minimum rate of discount remains unchanged at 3
per cent. The cable reports discounts of sixty to
ninety-day bank bills in London 2£® 2fper cent. The
open market rate at Paris is 2$ per cent, and at Berlin
and Frankfort it is 3f@ 3£ per cent. According to
our special cable from London the Bank of England
lost £717,469 bullion during the week, and held £30,090,796 at the close of the week. Our correspondent
further advises us that the loss was due to the import
of £218,000 (of which £211,000 were bought in the
open market and £7,000 were from Australia) to ship
ments of £775,000 net to the interior of Great Britain,
and to the export of £160,000, of which £100,000 was
[V ol. l x v i i i .
to the Cape, £50,000 to Uruguay and £10,000 to A r
gentina.
The foreign exchange market has been dull and
generally easier this week. The absence of urgent
inquiry would seem to indicate that the demand to
remit for securities, which was reported to be one of
the important factors last week, has at least been
partially satisfied, and it has probably been ascer
tained that the remittances for the $20,000,000
Philippine payment are likely to be somewhat re
mote. Bankers report the market insufficiently sup
plied with bills of all kinds, but there seems to have
been but little more than an ordinary counter demand
for exchange. The only perceptible effect which was
produced until Friday by the active market for money
was shown in the light inquiry. On that day, how
ever, the tone was weaker by reason of the high
money rates.
The foreign bankers have been
liberal lenders of money during the week, finding
it more profitable thus to employ their funds than in
the bujing of exchange. Gold imports reported at
the Custom House for the week were $72,471.
The range for nominal rates of exchange has been
from 4 85 to 4 85£ for sixty-day and from 4 87 to
4 87^ for sight, with the majority of the drawers post
ing the higher figures. Rates for actual business
opened on Monday unchanged compared with those
at the close on Friday of last week, at 4 84^@4 84f
for long, 4 86|@4 86f for short and 4 87^ @ 4 87£ for
cables. The market was dull and the tone easy, but
there was no quotable change until Wednesday. Then
rates for actual business in short were reduced onequarter of a cent to 4 86^@4 86£, while those for
cables were half a cent lower, at 4 86|@4 87. No
change was made in rates for long sterling. The
market was dull and steady on the following day and
weak on Friday, when there was a redaction of onequarter of a cent in rates for actual business in long
and short. The following shows daily posted rates
for exchange by some of the leading drawers.

TH E WESTERN C IT Y E LE CT IO N S.
For various reasons the City of Chicago has in
recent years been one of the most important battle
grounds of contemporary politics. This is partly be
cause of the violent fluctuation of electoral major
ities during recent years.
From a Republican
plurality of a few hundred votes in 1888, Cook
County, Illinois, which is virtually the City of
Chicago, swung back to a Democratic plurality of
7,760 votes in 1890 and of 33,350 in 1892. Two
years later, in the political reaction of 1894 it polled
a Republican plurality of 51,395, which rose in the
Presidential election of 1896 as high as 69,913. These
are fluctuations quite as remarkable as any in the
checkered political history of New York City, which
is traditionally cited as an instance of electoral un
certainties.
The mayoralty election of last Tuesday attracted
interest partly because of these wide fluctuations of
majorities, but chiefly because some reaction from
the recent Republican majorities was expected, as a
normal incident of politics, and because this expecta
tion threw considerable doubt over the question,
what shape the reaction would assume. As it hap
pened, the candidacy at Chicago was such as to em
phasize this question, Ex-Governor Altgeld, who is
typical of the elements which created and clustered
about the Chicago Presidential platform of 1896,
entered the field with a vigorous campaign. It was
pretty plainly understood that the vote for him would
be taken as a measure of the city's endorsement of the
principles placed before the voter three years ago.
In opposition to Altgeld were nominated Carter II.
Harrison, the present Democratic incumbent of the
mayoralty, and Z. R, Carter, the Republican candi
date.
The most striking part of the result was the rela
tive insignificance of the vote cast for ex-Governor
Altgeld. In a total poll of more than 300,000 votes,
he received not quite 46,000. His Democratic oppo
nent, Mayor Harrison, was chosen by' the handsome
plurality of 41,033 over his Republican antagonist,
polling a vote more than three times as largo as that
of Altgeld, This result is interesting as almost the
first direct test, in a large electorate, of the relative
strength of the two bodies of opinion in the party.
Mayor Harrison has taken a conservative position on
national issues; he has been publicly proscribed for
so doing by the adherents of the platform of 1896;
and the division of the vote between him and the
typical candidate of the radical faction of the party
643
is, therefore, an index of peculiar and timely interest.
The result of Tuesday's vote seems to be accepted in
Chicago as a positive indication that the conservative
element is in the ascendancy.
In our judgment the Chicago election means still
more than this. In Chicago, as elsewhere, the criti
cal financial issue presented by the platform of 1896
drove a very large contingent of voters away from
their old affiliations and into support of the party
which had declared for sound money. Except in the
way already mentioned, the money issue was not pre
sented in this spring's municipal election. Mayor
Harrison chiefly stood for re-election on the plea of
competent management of the city and protection of
its interests in the line of corporate franchise. It
was generally conceded that Mr. Harrison’s adminis
tration had been successful and that the city would
be in safe hands with that administration continued.
The result of Tuesday’ s electoral figures shows that
in Chicago there is a very large part of the voting
constituehcy which is not so closely bound by party
ties that it will not support one whose administration
has been fairly satisfactory and therefore the best
candidate, regardless of previous affiliations.
Two other municipal elections of the week have
exhibited a similar tendency. At Cleveland, a city
where the municipal government of the last few years
has created great dissatisfaction among intelligent
voters, majorities were reversed last Monday as com
pletely as they were on Tuesday at Chioago, and the
reversal is chit fly ascribed to the work of a non
partisan citizens' association. At Toledo, on the
same day, a mayor who had been eminently successful
in city administration, who had stood for renomina
tion and had been beaten in convention by political
leaders of his own party, and who had thereupon
taken the field as an independent candidate, was
elected by a very large majority.
Various inferences are drawn, as always happens
under such circumstances, from these several results.
It is natural, for instance, that the re-election of
Mayor Jones, of Toledo, should in many quarters be
ascribed entirely to his advocacy of municipal owner
ship of city supply and transportation enterprises.
No doubt this attitude had a part in the result; so
may the attitude of Mayor Harrison, of Chicago,
towards the street-car franchises. But, on the other
hand, it must be remembered that the position of
these two officers on such questions created opposition
in some quarters while it attracted support in others.
The great bulk of the vote which shifted from one
side to the other in these two city elections was un
questionably influenced by the fact that good city
government might safely be anticipated from the can
didate in whose behalf the majorities were changed.
It Beems to ns that the week's Western elections
regarded from this point of view are extremely en
couraging to people who hope for better municipal
government. At Chicago in large part, and in Cleve
land and Toledo wholly, the canvass was made on
municipal issues, and it was on questions of city
policy and the record of candidates in city adminis
tration that the majority in the two most interesting
votes wag won. This of itself is a highly important
forward step. We have repeatedly pointed out that
good city government can be assured only when
national issues are ignored in city elections. The
Western city votes this week prove also, we think,
that this object can be attained most satisfactorily by

is heard of the claim being pressed, and apparently
the workpeople have not yet made up their minds to
bring the matter to the point of a firm and resolute
demand. The “ margin” is on the whole considerably
better for the employers than it was six months ago,
and the production is to a large extent well sold for
ward. But their position in respect of profit is widely
different in the various departments, and there are
some in which, notwithstanding the general improve
ment in the Manchester market within that period, the
pricesof yarn and cloth are still too near to afford more
than a scanty remuneration to the manufacturer.
A new development in the way of official co-opera
tion between the Government and the commercial
and industrial interests of the country was announced
by Mr. Ritchie, the President of the Board of Trade,
on the 15th instant, at the annual dinner of the
National Association of Chambers of Commerce. He
presented the scheme only in the barest outline. A
Commercial Department is to be established under
the auspices of the Board of Trade in which all avail
able information bearing upon commerce, especially
that with foreign countries and the British colonies,
is to be gathered, arranged and made immediately
available for business men. The department is to be
under the control of a composite committee whose
members will be drawn from the permanent staffs of
the Foreign Office, the India Office and the Colonial
Office, and a certain number of competent represent
ative men engaged in trade and industry will be
added. The precise functions of the committee have
not yet been defined.
The scheme appears to have been shaped very
much in accordance with one submitted to Mr. Glad
stone’ s Government early in 1893 by the Manchester
Chamber of Commerce. At that time it was proposed
to form some such committee as that now fore
shadowed for the purpose of advising the Govern
ment upon questions relating to the external trade of
the country in respect of treaties, tariffs and commer
cial conventions; trade routes and arrangements with
foreign railways and shipping companies; transit
dues and charges, and trans-shipments. There were
to be twelve members, three of whom should be p er
manent officials, and the rest representatives of the
cotton, woolen, iron, hardware, shipping, food and
chemical industries, besides one representative each
of special Scotch and Irish industries. Five mem
bers, including the official ones, were to be appointed
absolutely by the Government, and all the remainder
by the President of the Board of Trade on the nom
ination of chambers of commerce, which were to sup
ply names for selection. In commending its scheme,
the Manchester Chamber said: “ Year by year our
foreign trade is becoming more complicated, and if it
is to be effectively maintained, it is urgent that for
eign commercial questions should be closely watched
and considered by a specially appointed expert com
mittee.”
The proposal was not adopted by Mr. Gladstone’s
Government, although it was credibly stated at the
time that Mr. Mundella, the then President of the
Board of Trade, was entirely favorable to its accept
ance. Since then the exigencies clearly discerned
by the Manchester Chamber have become more
marked and more pressing. International commerce
and international industrial rivalry have been accen
tuated and quickened, demanding greater vigilance,
prompter aotion and special knowledge which per

sons trained in the public service seldom possess. To
changes such as these the departure now announced
may be attributed. So far men of business have not
discussed it much. They are awaiting the fuller un
folding of the scheme.
The huge proportions reached last year in the ex
cess of imports over exports of merchandise and
treasure in the statistical accounts of British external
trade have revived an old controversy as to the signifi
cance of this constantly recurring feature in the
national accounts. Of merchandise the imports were
£176,594,207 more than the exports, and of gold and
silver, £6,185,558, making altogether an excess of
£182,779,765, against £156,106,232 in 1897 and
£139,055,327 in 1896. Some deduction ought to be
made from these amounts for the value of the ship
ping built in the United Kingdom for foreign or
colonial owners, or transferred to them from the
British register. Allowance should be made, too, for
the fact that whilst the imports are valued as landed
after payment of freight, the exports are entered at
their value without freight. But even if it were pos
sible accurately to make these adjustments, they
could not materially alter the variation in the excess
of imports from year to year. How then are we to
explain the enormous difference between the excess
of 1898— £182,779,765—and that of 1896— £139,055,327? The difference is £43,724,438, and it would be
beyond belief that so large a sum represents nothing
more than the increase, within a couple of years, in
the earnings and profits of British capital, and pay
ment for British services outside the Kingdom. The
conclusion seems inevitable that there was some sub
stantial homeward withdrawal of capital during 1898.
In the course of the discussions to which this
phenomenal increase in the excess of imports has
given rise, one has occasionally heard echoes of that
exploded doctrine that it is an indication that the
country is “ living upon its capital.” But no one
seems to take it seriously to heart. There is, how
ever, a possible explanation of it, not hitherto put
forward, so far as I am aware, which accords entirely
with the general course of English trade, home and
foreign, last year. It may be worth while to consider
it, because if it be well founded, one may find that it
throws much light upon the rationale of fluctuations
in the foreign trade of all the great commercial coun
tries having important international trade relations.
The course of British industry and trade during
1898 was marked by two striking facts. In the first
place the productive energies of the country, as a
whole, were never so fully or so fruitfully employed.
In few industries was much time lost. The harvest
of the United Kingdom was the most abundant
known for a long time past, some experienced ob
servers said for thirty, others for forty years. Y et the
imports of food and drink were larger by £14,688,277
than in 1897. Those of raw materials of manufac
ture were greater by £2,068,308, and of manufactured
articles by £1,985,064. Such figures suggest, what
is indeed the fact, that the consumption of the means
of living, and of the raw materials of industry was
unprecedentedly large. In harmony with these indica
tions are the statistics of employment collected by
the Labor Department of the Board of Trade, and
those of railway traffic and bankers’ clearings, all of
which afford evidence of activity in the industries and
the home distributing trade exceeeding any before
known.
THE CHRONICLE.
A pril 8. 1899.
But, secondly, the exports of British productions
during 1898 were less than in either of the two imme
diately preceding years, haring reached only £233,390,792, against £234,219,708 in 1897 and £240,145,551 in 1896. The changes in the general prices of
commodities during the last three years go to show
that the volume of the exports has diminished to an.
extent even greater than that shown in these figures.
The index numbers of English prices prepared by Mr.
Augustus Sauerbeck, the most trustworthy we pos
sess, were 64 for 1898, 62 for 1897 and 61 for 1896. It
may fairly be assumed, therefore, that the decline in
the exports of British productions was more than is
indicated in the official statistics, which are based on
current prices as declared by exporters. What is the
explanation of the singular fact that whilst the in
dustries of a country engaged to a degree unknown
elsewhere in producing for foreign markets have
been employed almost to their full capacity, the ex
ports have fallen off to quite a remarkable extent?
Unquestionably it is that these industries have been
engaged, more than ever they were before, in produc
ing for the home markets. Evidence abounds on all
hands of extraordinary activity in investment of capi
tal during the past year in machinery, plant, build
ings and other forms, designed toextend and improve
the means of future production. Theie is no more
trustworthy sign of variations in this kind of activity
than the fluctuations in the consumption of iron and
steel in the innumerable forms under which they are
utilized. Now it is a well-known fact that the fur
naces, forges and engineering and ship-building works
of the United Kingdom were never so busily, or
so productively, employed as they were in 1898.
Yet
the

value
of
the exports
of
these materials, notwithstanding a rise of prices,
was but a trifle more than that of the year before,
although in 1897 the iron and steel industries were
completely disorganized, and more or less idle for
many months in consequence of the great strike in
the engineering industry. The following figures
give the value of the exports of iron and steel, engines
and machinery in each o f these years:

Thus, although the productive capacity was fully
employed in 1898, and but very partially employed
in 1897, the exports of 1898 were only £123,050, or
•3 (3-10 of one) per cent more than in 1897. It is
clear, then, that the home demand for these forms
•f wealth must have been enormous. A very con
siderable proportion of the iron and steel produced
last year was used in the construction of ships and
of their engines and general equipment. The number
and tonnage of the vessels launched at all of the
ship building yards of the Kingdom during each of
the past two years were:

But in other directions the consumption of iron
and steel has also been markedly in excess of previous
years. In the metal and engineering industries
themselves, manufacturers, stimulated by American
example, have been busy improving the blast fur
nace plant, and all branches of their business in
which machinery is employed. The same efforts to
619
bring their means of production to the highest state
of efficiency has been observable in other manufac
turing industries. Then, too, building and rebuild
ing have been exceedingly active in almost every
manufacturing and mercantile centre. Bailway com
panies also have bought largely of permanent way
materials and rolling stock.
And o f course the
great increase in the aggregate earnings o f the masses
of the people, implied by all this activity, implies
also a substantial enlargement in the quantity of
food, clothing and household necessaries distributed
throughout tho country, implying further a greater
consumption of imported food and manufactures
both imported and of home production.
The general inference to be drawn from the salient
features of British trade and industry during the
past year is that the prosperity or lack of prosperity
of a great industrial and commercial people can never
be correctly measured by the fluctuations in its ex
ports from year to year. Its exports m aybe large
because its home trade is slack, and, conversely, they
may be small because it3 home demands for the prod
ucts of iudustry are unusually great.
It follows,
then, that the relative efficiency of various nations
as competitors in the markets of the world cannot
be justly gauged by a comparison of their exports
without reference to tho contemporaneous condition
of their respective homo trades. One may, perhaps,
venture to suggest, therefore, that the extraordinary
increase in recent years in the exports of American
manufactures may be partly accounted for by the
comparatively slack condition of tfte home markets.
There is plenty of evidence that the progress in in
dustrial efficiency in the United States has been
almost marvelous in these years, and no one can
doubt that tho increase of competitive power, of
which it is a proof, has come to stay, and is destined
to grow. But at the same time one ought not to
be surprised should the incroasc of exports of manu
factured goods become less marked if the improve
ment in the homo markets and the accompanying
advance of prices continues.

THE CHRONICLE.
—The Miles Bill, which sought to fix the legal rate o f inter
est in this State at 5 per cent, was defeated in the Assembly
on Tuesday, though by a very narrow majority. The meas
ure was strenuously opposed by the Merchants’ Association
and by the New York Board o f Trade and Transportation,
who protested against the passage of the law, claiming that
it would not benefit any class of citizens, but that it would
be seriously detrimental to all who were seeking loans.
—The social event of the week in banking circles was the
banquet given on Monday evening by the Bank of the Man
hattan Company in commemoration of the organization of
the institution a century ago. The banquet was attended
by nearly all the prominent bank and trust company presi
dents of the city and among the invited guests were Mr.
Lyman J. Gage, Secretary of the Treasury; Senator Chauncey
M. Depew, and Bishop Potter. The principal speech of the
evening was by Secretary Gage. After referring to the dan
gers to the financial situation which, in his judgment, might
result from the excessive over-capitalization o f combinations
of industrial concerns, he alluded to the valuable assistance
which had been rendered the Government by the banks of
this city in various crises, and especially in the crisis of 1896.
He referred in complimentary terms to the efforts of Mr.
John A. Stewart, of the United States Trust Company, in
organizing a syndicate to guarantee the $50,000,000 loan issued
in that year, and he concluded by denying that the Treas
ury Department contemplated a further issue of bonds.
He said that there were now $384,000,000 in the Treasury andafter the $20,000,000 shall have been paid to Spain there will
remain a net amount of $284,000,000, which will be much
more than is necessary to meet the estimated deficien
cies for the next two years without encroaching upon the
$100,000,000 gold reserve. He believed that financial inter
ests need feel no anxiety. Brief speeches were made by
Senator Chauncey M. Depew, Mr. Frederick D. Tappen,
Bishop Potter and Mr. John A. Stewart of the United States
Trust Company. Mr. Stephen Baker, President of the Bank
of the Manhattan Company, gave an historical sketch of the
institution. As is generally known, the charter of the bank
was obtained April 2 1799 by Aaron Burr. The real object
of the oharter was concealed under the guise of authority
for the organization of a corporation for the construction of
a system of water-works for the city, which was then greatly
desired, permission being also given for the employment of
the surplus capital ia the purchase of public or other stock
or in any other moneyed transactions. Immediately after
the charter was secured the announcement was made
that the company would begin the construction of the water
works and that it would likewise open a bank at what was
then known as No. 23 Wall Street. Water-works were con
structed, the supply being obtained from the Collect pond
and from sunken wells, and the works were operated for
several years. The most profitable business of the company
was, however, in its banking department. The original
capital of the bank was $500,000. The institution was the
second organized in the city, the first being the Bank of New
York, and it was quite successful from the beginning, being
conservatively managed and paying regular and at times
large dividends to its stockholders. Among the presidents
o f the bank have been some of the most prominent financiers
o f their day.
—A report has been current at intervals since the Corn
Exchange Bank made arrangements for the absorption of
the Astor Place and the Hudson River banks that the Corn
Exchange was negotiating for control of the Fulton Bank of
Brooklyn, with a view to its conversion into a branch bank.
Early this week it was reported that the Fulton and the
Nassau banks of Brooklyn would be consolidated preliminary
to absorption by the Corn Exchange. It was announced on
Wednesday that instead o f such consolidation the Fulton bad
been purchased by the Meohanics’ Bank of Brooklyn, capital
$500,001 and surplus $389,810. This bank is one of the
strongest institutions in that city. Therefore any nego
tiations which have been opened looking to the absorption of
the Fulton Bank by the Corn Exchange may be considered at
an end. The Fulton Bank—capital $200,000 and surplus
$169,043—will be liquidated and its business will be trans
ferred to the Mechanics’ Bank,
—The new rules adopted by the New York Clearing House
providing for compensatory charges for the collection of
country checks went into operation on Monday. Though
[V ol. iiXVIII.
there have been exaggerated statements as to the effect, pres
ent and prospective, of the enforcement o f these rules, they
appear to have thus far caused very little friction, and it is
thought when they come to be clearly understood by those who
are immediately interested in them they will meet with gen
eral approval. The country banks can do much to facilitate
collections, and at the same time they can very readily make
such arrangements with their New York correspondents as
will result in profit to themselves. For example, a bank in
Syracuse receiving from its New York correspondent items
for collection can, by making daily remittances, instead o f
remitting in ten days or other periods, apply to its own ben
efit the collecting charge of 1TO of 1 per cent or any portion
thereof, the idea being that the New York correspondent, in
consideration of the aforesaid prompt remittance, might
waive its claim to certain charges. The Syracuse bank can
also, by keeping a sufficient balance with its correspondent,
certify checks drawn upon it by its customers for transmis
sion to the creditors in New York of such customers, making
the checks payable at the counter o f its New York corre
spondent. In this way the Syracuse bank would retain its
own customers on its books and the customer would not be
obliged to open a New York account.
—It has been asserted during the week that the Boston
Clearing House Association has recently established a sub
clearing house to clear checks for banks in Massachusetts;
and it has also been asserted that if it should operate suc
cessfully in that State this system of clearing country checks
would be extended to all the New England States. The
statement that a sub-clearing house or any clearing house
for collecting checks has been established in Boston is incor
rect. The Clearing House Committee of that Association has
had the matter under consideration and has recommended a
plan for the establishment of such a system. The Committee
recommend that the work shall be done by the Manager of
the Clearing House. Those Boston banks who choose to
avail themselves of this method of collecting their checks
sha'l d ‘posit them at some fixed hour each day. The checks
shall then be assorted—checks on each out of-town bank in
a separate package. The checks will then be sent to the
banks on which they are drawn, so far as such banks will
undertake to remit for checks on themselves at par by drafts
on their Boston correspondents. In case remittances should
be delayed so that the Manager should not have sufficient
funds to meet the charges against him, he would charge
against the several banks their respective amounts of such
delayed remittances.
In a letter to the interior banks the Manager of the Clear
ing House, after explaining the reasons for undertaking the
work of country collections in Massachusetts through the
Clearing House, concludes as follows; “ If the Boston banks
are willing to assume the labor and expense required to con
tinue the circulation of New England checks at par, and in
*o doing to provide for continued collection, without charge,
of the New England checks which you receive and send to
Boston, they feel that in asking you to remit for checks on
your own bank without charge they are not making an un
reasonable request.” W e assume this indicates that the
country banks are to receive no compensation for collections
but are to bear that expense. The foregoing shows that the
Boston plan for the collection o f checks through the Clear
ing House is by no means perfected. Indeed, it has not as
yet been passed upon by the Clearing House Associa
tion. As the matter at present stands, and after a study of
the papers which have been suDmitted to us, we fail to dis
cover what is to be gained if it goes into operation.
F a i l u r e s f o r F ir s t Q u a r t e r o f 1899.—The following
figures, prepared from Messrs. R. G. Dun & Co’s, statement,
show the number o f failures in the United States and Canada
during the quarter ending March 31, 1899. For purposes of
comparison like figures for the corresponding periods of the
preceding year are given ;

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—The un
usual demand for stocks, especially those o f a speculative
character, which was the prominent feature o f the market
early in the week, has been reversed, and there is now about
as much eagerness to sell as there was to buy. The change
came about chiefly at the result of a firm *r money market,
and an inclination on the part o f leaden to discriminate
against the industrial stocks as collateral. No doubt the ap
plication for loans on that class of collateral was increasing
as the leniency to speculation Increased, and with a larger
demand for loans which has resulted from a broader
and more general business activity, it seems perfectly
natural for bankers to favor applications of the latter
class. Other than the money stringency tuere is no spacial cause for snob a decline in railway shares as has
taken place. It is largely sympathetic.
W ide fl ictuations have accompanied the active speculation in indus
trial and traction shares, and all classes of stocks were
affected. Railway earnings reported this week have been
remarkably good in most cases and the outlook in this par
ticular is decidedly encouraging. Unseasonable weather in
the We-t and its effect upon the winter-wheat crop is made
much of by the element which is encouraging lower prices on
the Stock Exchange, bnt iu this connection it is well to re
member that almost no harvest has been gathered in recent
years which Wall Street operators had not long before pre
dicted would be a failure.
The open market rates for call loans on the Stock Exchange
daring the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged
from 8 to 16 per cent. To day’s rates on call were 5 to 15
per cAnt, Prime commercial paper qnoted
to 4J4per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed a decrease in bullion of £717,409, and the percentage
of reserve to liabilities was 87'20, against 8810 last week; tne
discount rate remains unchanged at 3 per cent. The Bank
of France shows an increase o f 3,950,000 francs in gold and
an increase of 8.650,000 franca In silver.

The fiscal year has been fixed to end March 1. For the
three months to March 1, it is stated, the company earned
its pro rata dividend on the preferred stock. The Company
was incorporated in New Jersey last December with an
authorized capital stock o f $33,500,000 (half 7 per cent noncumulative preferred) and took over the plants of the old
National Linseed Oil Co. and several independent companies
per plan in V. 67, p. 1161. It is said that as soon as the small
unpaid balance of the indebtedness of the National Linseed
Oil Co. is discharged with the]fnnds provided under the plan,
the securities o f the American Linseed Co. will probably be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange.—V. 68, p. 569.
American Potteries Co.—Options Lapse.—The options
held by John R. Dos Passos on various pottery plants which
it was proposed to merge under the title of the American
Pottery Co. expired on April 1. The main obstacle that
stood in the way of the consolidation was stated in V. 68,
p. 426, Mr. Dos Passos still hopes the consolidation will go
through.—Y. 68, p. 426.

As to the expected economies, he says the matter o f econo
my in the joint operation o f the elevated and surface proper
ties can hardly be over-estimated. While it is too early to
make any accurate statement, yet the saving in general ex
pense. and particularly in the matter of the substitution of
electric power for the locomotives, will make a very Iarse
item : also in being able to run at greater Bpeed on ihe ele
vated structure, and with less fear of accident, will result in
a further large and considerable saving.

Detroit Street Citizens’ Street R y.—D etroit E lectric
Ry.—Negotiations to Purchase fo r City.—The Michigan
Legislature recently passed a bill empowering the Common
Council of Detroit to create a self-perpetuating commission
of three to buy the street railways oE the city and to operate
them, charging not more than the present fares, viz., six
tickets for twenty-five cents on the Detroit Citizens’ and
eight for the same amount until 8 p . m on the Detroit Elec
tric Railway. The A ct provides that the city shall incur no
debt in acquiring the properties, but shall pledge the roads
and their earnings for the purchase price, the roads to be
returned to the companies if municipal control does not suc
ceed.
Under this law the Common Council has appointed the
following commissioners: Gov. Hazen S. Pingree, six years;
Elliot G. Stevenson, lawyer, four years; Carl E. Schmidt,
leather dealer, two years. This commission will report to
the Council the proposed purchase price of the roads before
closing the transaction. The Mayor vetoed the motion ap
pointing the commission, but his veto was held out of order
by the President of tbe Common Co incil.

Jacksonville Tampa & Key West R y.—Savannah Florida
& Western Ky.—Purchased.—The main line of the Jackeon
ville Tampa & Key West Railway wss purchased at fore
closure sale on Tuesday by the Plant Investment Co., owners
of the Savannah Florida & Western and other lines, for
$600,000. The Atlantic Coast St. Johns & Indian River Di
vision was knocked down to T. Sanford Beaty of New York
for $60,000. By purchase of the main line the Plant system
obtains a through line from Tampa to Charleston via Jack
sonville.
Sale o f Deposited Bonds.—The Smith Committee had
previously sold its certificates to the Plant system at 45 per
cent, of which 40 per cent is to he paid in cash immediately,
and 5 per cent later on, provided, however, that the claims
prior to the first mortgage do not exceed $350,000. In case
they should exceed this amount the bondholders are to make
good the difference, and the 5 per cent is held back for that
purpose. The Lisman Committee, which was organized for
the purpose of preventing an assessment, and selling the
road, has sold its bonds to the Plant System for cash, and
its certificates,, have gone in on the same basis as those of
the Smith Committee. The total issue o f first mortgage 6s
was $1,566,000, nearly all of which have accepted the offer of
the Plant Investment Company. The final notice to nonassenting bondholders appears in our advertising columns.—

April 1, at the Mercantile Trust Co , New York, and at the
office of Adolph Boissevain, in Amsterdam, for account of
the reorganization committee, as stated in the advertisement
in Chronicle of last week.
Second Application for a Receiver.—On April 6 the State
Trust Co. of New York, one of the trustees under the first
mortgage, filed suit in the Federal Court at Kansas City to
foreclose the mortgage and for the appointment of a re
ceiver in the interests of the bondholders. The Missouri
Kansas & Texas Trust Co., as the other trustee, is made a
defendant in the suit. The present receivers, it is alleged,
represent the former management and cannot he expected to
administer the trust for the best interests of.the bondholders.

The remaining $600,000 bonds are to be reserved to meet

only when the revenue is to be increased thereby to show 6
per cent on the bonds issued therefor.—Y. 66, p. 336.

dicate is probably back of the purchase of the Lynn & Bos
ton system of 150 miles from the North Shore Traction Co.
[see below], and that the plan may be to bring the trolley
companies in the region tributary to Boston under one man
agement. The companies above named have the following

BREADSTUFFS.
F r i d a y , April 7, 1899
A quiet market has been experienced for wheat flour
Buyers generally have continued to hold oil, the disposition
generally shown being to confine purchases almost ex
clusively to a hand-to-mouth basis. There has been, how
ever, no attempt to force sales, and values have been fairly
well maintained. The demand from exporters also has
been quiet.
City mills have had a moderate sale,
and have brought steady values.
Rye flour has been
quiet, and there has been a slightly easier tendency
to values.
Corn meal has had only a limited sale,
and there has been a slight weakening in values.
Speculation in wheat for iuture delivery has been fairly
active. The tone, however, has been somewhat unsettled
and for the week the changes in prices were of an unimport
ant nature. Weather reports from the winter-wheat belt
have been the principal factor in the situation, and prices
have moved up or down according to the character of the
advices received. Saturday the reports were of very cold
weather West, and they carried prices to a higher basis.
Monday, after a firmer opening on unfavorable crop reports,
the market turned easier under predictions of milder
weather West, and a full movement of the crop
also
had
a weakening
influence.
Tuesday there
was a quiet market and prices again weakened slightly
under warmer weather at the West and easier for
eign advices. Wednesday the market was easier earlier in
the day under fair Belling by longs. Toward the close,
however, there developed a decidedly strong tone and prices
advanced rather sharply on a de uand from shorts to cover
contracts, stimulated by unfavorable crop accounts. Thurs
day there was a firmer market on fair buying, stimulated by
crop damage reports as a result of the recent severe weather
experienced in the winter-wheat belt. Toward the close,
however, realizing sales by longs and aggressive operations
by bear operators resulted in all of the early improvement
being lost. Business in the spot market has oeen ou a
limited scale only, as exporters have not been extensive buy
ers; prices have followed the course of futures To-day there
was a moderately active market and prices weakened slightly
under liquidation by longs and sympathy with the weakness
in financial circles depressed prices. The spot market was
quiet. The sales for export were 112,000 bushels.

Indian corn futures have received only a limited amount of
attention and there has been a gradual sagging of prices.
Freer offerings from the country and a prospective increased
movement of the crop had a weakening influence, prompting
liquidation by longs, and under their offerimgs prices have
weakened slightly. Business in the spot market has been fairly
active, as exporters have been buyers at prices showing slight
declines in sympathy with the easier market for futures. To
day the market was quiet and slightly easier. The spot
market was fairly active but at slightly lower prices. The
sales for export here and at outports were 380,009 bushels.

Oats for future delivery at the Western markets have been
quiet. Early in the week there was an easier tone under
some liquidation by longs, prompted by freer offerings from
the country. Subsequently, however, the tone was steadier,
as the crop movement was slightly under expectations,
and there was a demand from shorts to cover contracts.
Business in the spot market has been only moderately
active, as the home trade has been the only buyer. To-day
there was a quiet and slightly easier market. The spot
market was moderately active and steady. The sales inclued 25,000 bushels for export.

GOODS TRADE.
P. M . , April 7, 1899
Market conditions have undergone very iittle change dar
ing the past week. The day-today demand, outside of some
new fines for fall, has been on a moderate scalo and free
from special features of importance. Bayers bolding the
opinion that quietude meant weakness have been testing the
cotton goods division with bids below current quotations,
but have only succeeded in making clearer the fact that the
general sitnation has not loet strength to M y appreciable de
gree. In no lines of staple cotton* are there stocks sufficient
to induce sellers to make concessions to move them, and in
all leading lines of seasonable fabrics the supplies on hand
are not more than adequate to meet ordinary sn pplementary
needs of the balance o f the season. Some irregularities are
noted, but they are always the outcome of condition s peculiar
to the individual seller. Buying for fall in special lines has
again been on a liberal scale and an enconraging indication
of the confidence with which purchasers view the prospects
of the coming season.
W o o l e n G o o d s .— Business in heavy-weight woolens and
worsted for men's wear has again been quiet. A fair num
ber of orders has been recorded for both staple and fancy
lines, bat baying is not spirited enough to be satisfactory.
The best demand has run upon serges and an occasional line
of these has been sold up. Light weight serges for quick de
livery are generally well situated. Ia the'general ran of
piece dyed fabrics and in fancy cheviots and worsteds busi
ness so far this season has not come np to expectations, and
the market ghows some irregularity in prices, although
sellers still express confidence in the later demand being
sufficient to take care of the season's output. Overcoatings
are quiet and unchanged. Cloakings occasionally 5 per cent
higher. Fall dress good* are selling well in both plain and

The value of the New York exports for the year to date
has been $1,164,054 in 1899, against $2,928,232 in 1898.
Actual buying of heavy sheetings and drills on home
account has" been moderate this week.
Some fair-sized
export orders have been in the market, but difficulties in ob
taining the required shipments or the hi<h prices asked by
sellers have stood in the way of their execution in most in
stances. There is no sign of any leading line of brown cot
tons weakening. Wide print cloth yarn fabrics are steadier
than they were last week. Business in ducks and osnaburgs
has been light at previous prices.
All leading tickets in
bleached cotton* are Bteady in price, in face of a quiet gen
eral demand
Wide sheetings and cotton, flannels and blan
kets are qniet bat firm. Denims, ticks, plaids and other
coarse, colored cottons have been in limited request, bnt. the
market is indifferently supplied and prices are maintained.
Rtd-finiabed cambrics inactive. Fancy and staple lines of
printed calicoes in moderate request but firm throughout.
Dark printed flannels lor fall opening with good demand
and fully 10 par cent higher than last season. Woven pat
terned dress goods for fall have sold well in plaids and fancy
effects. GiDgbams in limited supply and vary firm. Print
cloths inactive in regulars at 2 ^ c . Odd goods close steady.
F o r e i g n O r y G o o d s . — Dress goo is for fall improving in
demand. Silks also ia better reqnest and very firm in price.
Ribbons also firm. Linens quiet aod unchanged. Burlaps
firm. Laces and other specialties qniet,

glance at the appended table of municipal bond
sales for the month of March will reveal the same
conditions that have been prevalent for months pasl,
namely, high prices and a small supply. Reports
show that the market has not been for years so bare
of desirable municipal securities as it is at present, and
it is therefore not surprising that such high prices
as now offered should prevail. A significant fact,
very noticeable at present, is the absence from the
list of bidders (except in rare eases) of those bond
houses which a year ago were represented at every
important sale. The reason given for this is that the
high prices which investors are compelled to bid, in
order to obtain bonds, leaves such a small margin of
profit that many have abandoned the municipal field
for the present, and have turned their attention to
wards the railroad market (particularly street railways),
which offers greater opportunities.
The total of sales recorded during March was $5,507,311, not including §1,276,345 of temporary loans
reported. This may be compared with 87,038,318 for
February 1899 and 86,309,351 for March 1898.
The number of municipalities issuing bonds was
100 (emitting 111 separate issues), as against 113 and
128 for February and 117 and 140 for March 1898.
The principal sales of the month were as follows:
8231.000 4 percen t 15-30-year (optional) refunding
bonds of Atchison County, Kan., awarded to Mason,
Lewis & Co., Chicago, at par; Luzerne County (Pa )

California.— Bond Bid Unsignei.— The Governor has an
nounced that he will not sign any bills other than those which
have already received his official sanction. Among the many
bills killed by this method, according to the S in Francisco
‘'Chronicle,” is Senate bill No. 51. providing for the issu
ance of $1,000,000 bonds for the extension of the San Francisco
sea wall.
Colorado.— Bond Bill Patted.—The Legislature has passed
a bill authorizing the issuance of bonds for public improve
ments in citiee of less than 100,000 inhabitants.
The bills
authorizing counties and school districts to refund their
bonded indebtedness have also passed.
Greeley County. Col.—Bond Litigation.—A suit has been
instituted in the District Court of Weld County to prevent
the city officials from delivering to the purchasers the $65,000 refunding water bonds recently sold to Trowbridge, MaoDonold & Niver Co. of Chicago. The ground for the com
plaint was that the bonds were invalid because, first, the
question of refunding the issue was not voted upon; second,
that the bonds were made payable in gold, “ thus discrimi
nating against other lawful money of the United States:”
third, that the bonds were made payable outside of the
State only and are to be delivered to banks outside of the
State; fourth, that twenty-five thousand dollars of the
bonds are absolutely payable in 15 years and $40,000 in 80
year*, thus making two series oat of one issue, and finally,
as to optional redemption, the bonds are divided practically
into)20 series, refundable at times varying between 5 and 25
years. A temporary injunction ha* been granted.
Kittitas County, Wash.— Litigation.—The following letter
was recently received from the Prosecuting Attorney of
Kittitas County, C, R. Hovey, relative to the attachment
made by Frank M. Van Horn on $4,000 deposited by the
Commissioners in the Chemical National Bank, New York
City, for the payment of interest due by the county. Mr. Ho

Missouri.—Legal Rate of Interest.—The House of the
State Legislature ha* passed a bill reducing the contract
rate of interest on loans from 8 to 7J.
Nebraska.— Legislature Adjourns.—The StateJ Legislative
session tor 1899 ceased to exist on April 2, 1899.
New York City.— Mayor Vetoes Hempstead Bill.—As
stated in the Chbosict-e March 25, 1899, the State Legisla
tuie recently pawed a bill providing that certain territory
be taken fri m the City of New York and annexed to the town
of Hempstead in Nassau County. Under the city charter the
bill was referred to the Mayor’ who has sent it back to the
Assembly with his official disapproval. The Mayor’s reasons
for the veto are, first, that that section of the town of Hemp
stead now included in the City of New York was annexed
with the approval of the voters of that section, which action
was confirmed by the Legislature of 1896 and again in the
city charter adopted in 1897. A further objection as given
by the Mayor was that by the existing charter the City of
New York assumed all the indebtedness of the territory
united into one municipality by consolidation.
The bill
takes away a portion of the territory from the city, hut
leaves the city liable for indebtedness for improvements
made upon the land thus removed from its limits. The con
tract entered into by the City of New York upon consolida
tion constitutes a vested right, which this bill impairs and
affects to the injury and disadvantage of the city.
Near York .State.— "Manhattan Elevated' a Railroad.—
The Attorney-General recently decided that the Manhattan
Elevated Railway Co. is a “railroad" and not a “ street r a il
road" corporation. This decision, under the provisions of
Paragraph 8, Section 110 of the Banking Law, would (all
the other requirements of the law being met), make the
bonds of the above company a legal investment for savings
banks.
Interest Bill Defeated —On April 4,1899.the Assembly of the
State Legislature, by a vote of 64 yeas to 65 nays, defeated
the Miles Mil proposing to reduce the legal rate of interest
in the State to 5*.

Per y County, 111.— Report on Bond Litigation.— On
March 10, 1899, John Boyd, counsel for the county, made a
lengtbv report to the Board of Couuty Commissioners, re
counting the series of litigations over the county’s bonds,
covering a period of twelve years. The bonds in question were
for $100,000, issued in aid of the Chester &Tamaroi Railroad
and $100,000 in aid of the B. & S. I. Railroad. The suits to
test the legality of the bonds were carried through the lower
courts and finally taken to the United States Supreme
Court, which on March 4, 1895, handed down a decision de
claring the B, & S. I. bonds illegal (thus affirming a decision
of the United States Circuit Court) but reversed the decision
of the lower court in the case of the C. & T. bonds, and de
clared that they were a binding obligation of the county.
This latter ruling of the U. S. Supreme Court was based
upon the finding of record by the Countv Board at the time
of issuing the bonds, in which the Board declared that the
Chester & Tamaroa Coal & Railroad Co. had complied with
all the conditions imposed npon it, and that the county
judge had been authorized by the Board, to certifiy under
oath, that all conditions of the order submitting the propo
sition to a vote had been complied with.
An attempt has been made by the county to compromise
this last (or legal) issue on the basis of paying the face of
the bonds, the bondholders to deduct or knock off the un
paid accrued interest but without success.
Terms.—Bond .Flection Bill Pissed by Senate.—The State
Senate has passed a bill requiring counties and cities to sub
mit propositions for the issuance of bonds to a vote of the
qualified taxpayers. The bill also provides that the propo
sition so submitted shall distinctly specify the purpose for
which bonds are to be issued, the amount thereof, the time
in which they are payable and the rate of interest.
Legal Rate o f Interest.—The State Senate has passed a bill
prohibiting any person from charging or taking from an
other any rate of interest greater than 10;1 per annum.
Bond Calls and Redemptions.
Bangor, Mv.—Reduction in Debt.— On April 1, 1899, $935,C00 bonds issued by the city of Bangor, in aid of the Btngor
& Piscataquis Railroad, matured. These bonds were secured
by an equal amount of bonds issued by the railroad company
and held by the city as collateral. On April 1, 1899, the rail
road bonds were taken up by the Bangor & Aroostook Rail
road Co. (which secured control of the Bangor & Piscataquis
in 1892) and the city was thus enabled to redeem its bonds
maturing on that date.
