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,

withhi two or tlu'ee weeks past on. a comparatively dui'

The crop repoi-ta from the West, particularly as to wheat,
have been imiiroving steadily, and the quality of gi'ain as weD
as quautitj- scc^m to bo muchahe;id of last year, and the movement of winter wheat to market is now becoming active.
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:

These prices show a decline of nearly 11 per cent on wheat,
19 per cent on com and 17 per cent on oats from the August
prices of last year. 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

The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a loss in six>cie of .t031,0()0, and the percentage of reserve to
liabilities was uu-l8, against U6-54 last week; the discount rat

Railroad and Miscellaneons Stocks. 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.

No charge was made

to construction or equipment.
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. R. Co. stock, heretofore
charg.'d operating, §157; total, §61,393; less decrease in amount
of miscellaneous interest paid, §4,774, leaves §36,620.

circular has been addressed to
Missouri Kansas & Texas.
the consolidated 7 per cent first mortgage bondholders by Mr.
Edward King, President of the Union Trust Company, Trustee
letter of the company's counsel is enof this mortgage.
" 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

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."
The forms signed by bondholders should be returned to the
Union "Trust Company, 73 Broadway.

the capital stock invested in those enterprises.
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

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

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.

mUes.
2.
A Une from junction with the main Ime near AguascaUentes easterly to Salinas, about 61 miles; also a line from
Tampico on the Gulf of Mexico westerly about 120 miles:
these being part of an intended continuous line from the main
road via Salinas and the City of San Luis Potosi to Tampico
about 396 miles, the remainder being imder construction.
3.
A branch from Silao on the main line easterly to
municipality of Guanajuato, about 11 miles.
4.
A Une from Irapuato, on the main line, westerly, via
City «f Guadalajara to San Bias, on Pacific Coast, or to such
other Pacific port as may be hereafter determined under act
of June 30, 1886, and amendments. Of this line there have
been constructed the part from Irapuato to Guadalajara, about
161 miles, and also about 16 miles from San Bias easterly, or
such other mileage as the company may create instead thereof,
if it selects a different port on the Pacific coast under authority referred to.
5.
The Sacramento stone quarry branch of about 6 miles.
The subsidy from the Mexican Government was made payable to the company in certificates which should be receivable
at all frontier and maritime custom houses, in payment of a
percentage of all duties on importations, the company being
entitled to receive the certificates upon completion of eacli
section 25 kilometers in length.
Of these certificates $5,730,000 were pledged to secure coupon notes due July 1, 1889.
$5,000,000 as part security for debentures due April 1,1895.
$5,000,000 as additional security for the 1st mortgage bonds,
which are also a second Uen on the above amounts. [Concerning the retirement of the coupon notes and debentures see
"amount authorized" imder priority bond below.] On account of the line from Irapuato to Guadalajara already completed, and the Une from AguascaUentes to Tampico partially
completed, the remainder to be finished as soon as practicable,
the company will receive a large amount of certificates of
which the $6,270,000 herein included has never before been
pledged. These sums together make the $22,000,000 subsidv
referred to above.
It is provided, however, that if the company shall hereafter construct any other railways it may, at its election, consider the same as covered by the mortgage of June 1,1881,
and by this mortgage, or it may make separate mortgages

thereon.

that if at any time prior to sale of the proi)erty the

shall pay all principal and interest duo and unpaid,
and aU

haa

from

of
principal or interest of said bonds), the proijerty sliall be
surrendered to the company.
In case of default, made and continued as aforesaid, or
of
default in the payment of principal continued for the
periods
aforesaid respectively, the Trustee may also sell aU the
premises
hereby conveyed, either subject to the Uen of the prioritvbonds, or entirely free from all liens created by this mortgaKe
at pubUc auction, ajtiilying the net proceeds therefrom to
the
payment of the pi incipal of such of the priority bonds as may
be at that time unpaid, whether or not previously due, and
of
the interest due and accrued, without preference between
principal and interest and the remainder to the payment
in
Uke manner of the principal and interest of the consoUdated
mortgage bonds ;' but if the property has been sold subiect
to the priority bonds, the net proceeds shaU go to the
payment
of principal and interest of the consolidated mortgage
bonds
The above provisions for enti-y and sale are cumulative to
the remedy by foreclosure in the courts of Mexico, and
the
Trustee may, and upon the written request of holders of
a
majority of either class of bonds shall, institute proceedings
to foreclose this mortgage as said majority shaU direct.or
lacking such du-ection, in such manner as the Trustee deems
most
expedient.
The companv may, at any time, for the better security of
the bonds, surrender the property to the Trustee.
It shall be the duty of the Trustee to execute the power
of
entry or sale hereby granted, or to take appropriate proceedings in equity or at law to enforce the rights of the bondholders, upon the written request of holders of a majority in
interest of the outstanding bonds of either class.
In case of default in the payment of interest, continued for
three months in case of the priority bonds or six months in

due, or to waive the right to do so, on such conditions as the
majority shall deem proper, or may annul or reverse the decision of the Trustee.
Default— Collateral Security.—In case of default in the pay*
ment of principal or interest of any of the bonds secured hereby, the Trustee may at once proceed as holder of the first mortgage bonds deposited as collateral security hereunder, to enforce its rights and to procure a foreclosure of the mortgage
securing them, and to take proceedings in law or equity, in
Mexico or the United States, to insure the full payment of the

subsidy certificates, which it may receive as provided below.
And the Trustee may, and upon demand of holders of a majority of the bonds of either class shall, exercise the foregoing
powers, or such of them as the holders of said majority demand. AU moneys derived from coUateral securities in any

than leave it optional with the seller to defer the delivery till
the end of the month.
On Wednesday there was only a small
advance in response to a rise in Li\erpool. The tradin.g on
Thursday was very light and prices fluctuated withiu very
narrow limits. To-day there was a sUglit decline in August,
the short interest in which is sujiijosed to be pretty well liquidated, but in other options there was a moderate advance with
the interest chiefly in September and October. Cotton on the

The speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
has continued on a rao<lerate scale, but at gradually advancing
prices, more particularly for the new crop options.
On Monday prices advanced, owing partly to the weekly Government
report stating that there was shedding of bolls in South Carolina, together with excessive rains in lx)th North and South
CaroUna, and a lack of rain in Texas, where it was said to be
needed. On Tuesday there was a decline, especially in August,
wliicli fell ton points, the depression being due to disap|)ointing advices from Liverpool, where, although prices advanced,
they did not show so great a rise as liad been expected after an
interval of several holidays there, during which New York
prices had risen quite materially. Moreover, there were reT)<)rts
of rain in Texas, and there was some selling on '• stoj) orders."

of the cotton croo is due, of course, to the general prevalence of good
seasons— plenty of rain and sun heat, with wariu nights. The rains are

during August, which would prove very damaging owing to the succulent condition of the plants.

Importatlous of Dry Cioods.
The importations of dry goods at this port for the week
ending Aug. 8, 1889, and since Jan. 1, and the same facts
for the corresponding periods of last ye»r are as follows:

There was a continuous influx of retail buyers the past
week, and busin- ss in jobbing circles was decidedly more active, a very fair distribution of prints, domestics and department goods having been made by leading jobbers. Retailers
frcm all pbrts of the country are in excellent spirits because
of the tncouraning trade outlook, and they are consequently
"stocking up" without hesitancy, but there is not the least
tenduicy toward speculation. Many wholesale buyers have
completed their early purchases and returned home hence
there was only a moderate demand (by personal seleciion) at
first hands.
Re-orders were, however, more numeious than
•f late, end there was a steady movement in various sorts of
fall and winter goods on account of former transactions.
The
event of the week was the attachment of the Riverside and
Oswego Mills Ounpany by the commission house of A D
JuiUiard & Co. in an action for |412,0U0. Particulars in this
matter are awaited with considerable interest.

experienced a fair demand for some description of
men'swear woolens, and prices remain firm on all desirable lines.
JLight-weigbt worsted and woolen suitings continued
in fair
demand by the wholetale clothing trade, and there was
a
steady call for heavy goods of this class which was
only partially met becaufo of the meagre stocks
on hand. Cheviot^
indifco blue fiannel suitings and serges were
in moderate request and th.-re wus a steady movement in heavy
overcoat
ingg on account of back orders. Satinets were
in fair demand
and low prices enabled jobbers to move considerable
