It may seem strauge that in such a trade situation we should meet with the numerous heavy failures that have occurred within tlie last few weeks in the shoe and leather, the dry goods and woolen trades. But these failures merely emphasize a feature of tlie situation which has for a long timo been one of its main characteristics. The volume of trade is satisfactory, but profits are small and uncertain. Tlio clo.sest economy and the most careful watching are necessary to bring the balance on the right side of the afjcouut.

Such an exhibit as this has few parallels in the whole history of American railroad undertakings, and the remarkable fact about it is that it has been made during a time when the tendency on many leading Western systems was in the opposite direction. To what is the marvellous expansion of this system's income chiefiy attributable? We find in the first place that the road runs through a comparatively new section of country, of great natural resources. These resources it has been the utmost endeavor of the management to develop. The building of the Cascade division must be regarded as having been a wise move. The acquisition and construction of a vast tributary system of branch roads, distributed all along the main line, furnishes another reason wonderful growth up the Pacific Northwest, and particularly Oregon and W'ashington Territory, is to be looked upon in the same light. For while the whole of the country traversed by the Northern Pacific is of good promise, the Pacific end seemed to offer special ojiportunities. That the faith of the management in the future of this district was not misplaced is attested by the great influx of population which has occurred there, and is still going on, and by the numerous thriving towns and villages which have sprung up. It may be affirmed, indeed, that the advance in earnings and traffic is in great part the established.

THE CHRONICLE | doing one step further we find that apart from Chicago there has been very little gain in the West on the grain movement anywhere. This of course is an important circumstance to bear in mind, for it shows that outside of the favored district there has been little advantage to the roads in that way. St. Louis has gained about 240,000 bushels in wheat, and about 200,000 bushels in corn, but lost 270,000 bushToledo has lost in wheat and oats, els in oats. Cleveland has lost increase in com. small with only a Detroit has done somewhat better, in wheat and corn ; Peoria but still the changes are not very important. has fared perhaps best of all, having gained in every item but flour, vet the aggregate increase is less than It is somewhat of a surprise, too, to 260,000 bushels. find that taking all the Western ports together, the receipts of wheat for these four weeks were nearly three quarters of a million bushels less than in the same period in 1888, and this after very heavy losses in the Another month, with a more two years preceding. liberal movement of new wheat, the result will doubtless be different, wet weather having interfered witli the marketing of the crop in July.

But prices of the three great cereal staples are very low, and can hardly give the farmers much profit after paying freights. As comjia'red with August 10, 1888, the prices to-day are a.-i follows m this market for August delivery: Aug., 1S8S.

The farmer is thus hit by the depression, and all is not as happy for him as appears at farat sight. The advance to 3 per cent in the Bank of England rate is the first hardening of money on the other side, but it has not apparently much significance for our market. The open market rates for call loans during the week on Btock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2 to 4 per cent, with 5 per cent an exceptional rate to-day Prime commercial paper is quoted at i'^.Udi!) per cent.

The stock market has improved considerably this week, with quite an animated appearance at times, in shai-p contrast to the dull and stagnant condition which had previously prevailed. This improved volume of business was accompanied by a notable strength in rices of many stocks and the market has been quite E uUish most of the time. The strength was largely due to united action in advancing prices^ as buyers in several groups of stocks took hold at the same time and met with little opposition, as the gener.ol feeling seemed rather confident than otherwise. There have been no important developments this week, but the crop out-turn is better assured, and the prospect for a large fall tonnage on the railroads is excellent. In speaking of rates, it mu.st be mentioned that the Chicago St. Paid & Kansas City has given notice that it wiU follow the example of the Cliicago & Alton in reducing cattle rates b<-tween Kansas City and Cliicago, and ,St. Paul and Missouri Pacific also threaten like reductions. This was not favorable news, but it had not half the effect it would have had some weeks ago. Earnings continue good as a rule, but the Atchison statement of net for June was disappointing. The strength has been most conspicuous in a few specialties, though the whole market improved. The C. C. C. & St. L. and the Chesapeake & Ohio stocks and Richmond & Alleghany bonds were specially prominent, having had a large business, with prices advancing. Notliing new in regard to them has transpired except the good earnings of the consolidated roads, but there is a continued demand and reported accumulation of these stocks in strong hands; the Richmond & Allegheny second mortgages will take on each §1,000 bond, §625 in Chesapeake & Ohio common stock and §125 in first preferred, an(i hence they are affected by the advance in those stocks. The grangers have been well supported, and much strength has also been developed in the Gould Southwestern stocks, Missouri Pacific taking the lead with a substantial rise. Among the specialties the Lake Erie & Western stocks were veiy strong, the preferred advancing over 6 per cent in the week, with unusually large transactions for this stock; there were rumors of heavy buying with some special views as to the property, but the large net earnings of this I'oad helped the rise. The only special feature in the trust stocks was a sharp decline in sugar to-day on free sales. 1 .;...... August THE CHRONICLE 10, 1889.] STOCKS— PRICES AT 167 STOCK EXCHANGE FOR WEEK ENDING AUG. N.

In explanation of the decrease in 1889, the following is given: The operating expenses for the first six months of 1889 are much larger than those of the corresponding period of 1888, for the reason that during the present year the cost of operatmg the Grand Rapids L-ansing Detooit line of 53 miles is incluiled, and also an average proportion of certain items which in 1888 amounted to §37,600, and were charged out in the last six months of that year. If the same metliod of accounting were pursued this year, it would add so much to the net earnings of the first six montlis. The fixed charges for the first six mouths of 1889 show an increase of §39,384, accounted for as follows: The Grand Rapids Lansing Detroit Railroad was not completed and opened for business until July 15, 1888, and the interest charges upon its bonds to July 1, 1888, were, therefore, charged to the construction accoimt of that road, amounting to §27,700; interest on additional D. L. N. 7 per cent bonds issued as stated in last annual report §6,202; dividend on Saginaw Western Radroad Company's stock, heretofore charged to operating expenses, §157; total, §31,059; less decrease iu amount of miscellaneous interest paid, It leaves §29,331. §1,774, should be added that the net earnings of the road for the last half of the year are usually the most favorable and the interest charges for will ba that time reduced §11,550, by reason of the extension at par of the Lansing 8 per cent bonds, due July 1, 1889, §770,000 Ionia for ten years at 5 per cent p3r annum interest. The decrease in net over and above op:?rating expenses and interest for the first six months of 1889, as compared with 1888, amounts to §56,630, as follows: Loss in net earnings, §27,333; Grand Rapids Lansing Detroit bond interest, §37,700; Detroit Lansing Northern increase in bond interest, §3,302; dividend on Saginaw Western R.

" You will observe that, in Mr. closed, and the circular says Peckham's opinion, two things should be done One, a declaration by the bondholders that the whole sum is now due, coupled with a request to the Trust Co. to enter upon the property. The object of this is to make an effort to substitute the Trustee for the present receivers iu the management of that part of the railway covered by our mortgage which, without such declaration, cannot be successfully demanded. The other is the execution by the bondholders of a power of attorney authorizing tlie presentation of a i)etition to immediately after decree of foreclosure, the trustee requesting tlmt the property be sold." These are formal matters required by tlie mortgage. In regard to the recent report of a committee on a division of earnings between the Northern and Southern Divisions, Mr. King's " committee composed of the General circular says: Manager, the Auditor and the Counsel of the receivers have reported that an arbitrary basis of division should be established, under which each mile of haul on the line south of Denison should count as one and a-half miles against each mile on the line north of that point. The extreme unfairness of tills conclusion is apparent, especially in face of the fact that the tonnage last year for the ten months ending Nov. 1,. is reported to have originated as follows: Toa< forwarded from Missouri and Kansas stations north of 94 6,043 Denison Tons forwarded from Indian Territory stations north of 573,240 Denloon A : ; A 'Operating expenses, 77-89 iu 1889, against G6-91 In 1888. & IT* 1,459,283 Tons forw.irded from Texas stitious soJth of Denison 486, 96& 1,946 ,24» showing that the division south of Denison originated and forwarded only about 25 per cent of the entire tonnage of the system and 26,374 tons less than the Indian Territory. "It is evident, therefore, that the interest; of the seve n per cent bondholders should be affirmatively protected by their own representatives if they are to be preserved."

All the wiirks of construction in progress at the date of the last Annual Report were completed during the year. small local line or link of about eight miles in length. called the Junction Railway, is being constructed from a ix>int near North Kvanston to Chicago, to connect the Milwaukee Wisconsin Divisions, and thereby avoid considerable terminal haul.ige of trains into and out of the heart of the city, in the largo interchange of freight between the main lines of the lots, 1,75(>: the ; A & Company at Chicago. The Board of Directors authorized and the stockholders at their Annual Meeting sanctioned the continuance of second main track construction on the Galena Division, to close up the gai^s between Nelson and Flagg, and RocheUe and Fox stations, a di.'stance of about .59}^ miles, and a jwrtion of the work will be prasecuted the ijresent season, with the purpose of completing the whole in the early part of next year. Such formal action as was necessary was taken also at the last meeting of the stockholders to bring in and absorb three or the smaller railway comimnies, whose roads were built ondcr separate charters, and were already owned by the Chi- & Northwestern Railw.-iy Companv, to wit: The Iron Kiver Kiiilway ( oinmny and the Iron Range Railway Company, in the mineral regions of the State of Michigan, tAke Geneva and State Line Railway Company, in and the the State of isconsin. in all olwut 75 miles of railrcad, and tlie necesmry transfer of the franchises and properties under the laws of the rj-si*vtive State's lias since been effected, thus reducing proprietary companies contained withiS «igo W theRXnT' Ijj common with other railways, the property has been oner- Besides the efTects which have necessarily been experienced "'« ^£tcr-State cPommerce il''L™"l"l.^r.L°^f ™V°°.to"L U.? in Law its general application the traffic moved upon our !.m«. there has In-en .State legislation and imposition of rate^ to diminish the le revenues.

Resort to both State and National tribunals has so far been inefifectual to protect the property from that order, and the last-named Courts have held that they would not interfere until the results of actual experience under the rates had demonsti-ated their effect upon the revenues of the railway companies. These projterties are. therefore, in the plight that, in case of the exaction by the Commission of non-compensatory rates, the companies must suffer actual loss, even to the verge of confiscation, before the Courts will afford relief. Should the prescribed rates be found, upon trial, to have the damaging effect claimed, there would be no redress from the State, because a sovereign .State cannot be sued. In ordinary cases in-eparable injuries to property, other than railways, can be prevented by the writ of injunction, but to them this protection is denied. Writs of error have been allowed in the Minnesota cases, in which this Company has a direct interest, and they have been removed to the Supreme Court of the United States. It is hoped that they may be so advanced as to be decided before the close of the present year. In connection with the questions involved in these cases, it may be mentioned that in the case of the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company vs. The Iowa Commissioners, it was stated, in the opinion of the distinguished Judge on that hearing, that the questions involved in that case were purely legal, and that " the main one is the power of the State to make and enforce rates of tranisportation to be charged by railroad corix)rations. and other common carriers, when, from the pleading, such rates are admitted to be so low as not to pay fixed charges and operating expenses. This question, which has never been squarely determined by the Supreme Court, either of this State or of the United States, is one which must be met by the Courts and pas-sed upon, the same as other questions of controverted rights between the State and the individual." The revenues of the Company have also suffered during the past year from causes other than legislation and the coercive of Commissioners. The inability to maintain fairly remunerative rates has been a fruitful source of evil to all Other means having failed, the Company became railroads. acts a party to what is known as the Presidents' Agreement, of January last. It was confidently hoped that concert of action upon a foundation so broad as to bring together rival and competing lines for conference, with an Arbitration Committee composed of experienced men, in wham all had confidence, would afford effectual means for adjustment of controversies, without a preliminary sacrifice of revenue. The Presidents' Agreement is launched at a time when the railway situation is complicated by the intrusion of new lines which, by their position on foreign soU, are in-esponsible to Commerce law under which the American contend for trvffic; and the combination of the Canadian with their affiliated connections in the Northwest, together with the unrestricted operation of the water routes on Lake Superior, have developed a phase of competition with the older roads in the Northwest which has compelled a the Inter-State lines lines reduction in rates for that section or the abandonment of the business. Other elements of disturbance between important lines i-unning southwest from Chicago have increased and widened the field of competition, with the result that rates over large sections of the Western country have been unsettled, and many roads that were not immediately involved in the strife have had to suffer. While it is premature to form an opinion of the amount of good that will result from the Association by keeping in harmony the consenting companies, it is believed that the best interests of the railways and of the public will be served by the continued co-operation of the railways for the maintenance of equitable and reasonable rates that shall not be destroyed by the inconsiderate and hasty action of individual roads. All of which is respectfully submitted. MAR-^N HUGHITT, & Northwestern Railway Company, July 29th, 1889.
