which may influence that course will be timely.
Turning back to a review we made of the subject a year
ago (September 1, 1&77, page 197), we find that the Bank
of England opened 1876 with about 8 million pounds
reserve and 21 millions coin, which ran up respectively,
by a tolerably uniform roovement, to 21 and 34^ millions
by the middle of August; in 1877, reserve and coin
began at 14^ and 28 millions respectively, and ran down
by August 15 to 12 and 25^ millions. During this term
in both years the discount rate, as already stated, was
low. This year the reserve was 10;^ millions at the middle
of April, and at the middle of July had sunk to about
9 1-3 millions, which is considerably less than in any
July since 1869; the coin, which was 23 J^ millions April
1, was 22 8 millions May l,and about 22 millions August
1.
What are the causes of this drain of specie? The

the United States during the last ten fiscal years

Exchange. There has been more animation in foreign
exchange than for some time past, in consequence of the advance
in rates. The Bank of England rate having been put up to 5 per
cent, the leading drawers here advanced quite sharply, and purchasers requiring bills seem to come into the market more hastily
than usual. There was considerable done for the steamers of
Wednesday and Thursday, and on the latter day $500,000 in coin
was shipped. To-day, business was rather slack at 4' 84 J for bankers' sixty-day sterling bills, 489 for demand, and 4-89f@4'90 for
cables, although bankers are reluctant to c^raw, and it is feared
that the supply of cotton bills may be delayed by the yellow
fever.
•In domestic bills the following
were rates on New York at the
Savannah, buying J premium, selling 1 premium; Charleston, depressed, par @ J premium; New
Orleans, commercial 3-16, bank i; St. Louis, par; Chicago, shilling discount and Boston par.

increase of 43*70 miles during the year.
On the (ith of June, 1877, the La Crosse Trempealeau & Prescott Railroad, one of this company's proprietary lines, extending
from the terminus of the Madison Extension, near La Crosse,
Wis., to a cojnection with the Winona & St. Peter Railroad, a
distance of twen y-nine miles, including the br dge acrofs the
Mississippi River at Winona, was consolidated with the Chicago
& Nort'iwestern Railway by the concurrent action of both
companies, and thereafter became a part of this company's
railway. Its earnings, expenses and fixed charges are im luded
in those of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company for
the entire fiscal year from the Ist of June, 1877 and, therefore,
in all comparisons with the preceding year the receipts and
disbursements of the La Crosse Trempealeau & Prescott Railroad
Company, for that year, are merged wiih those of this company.
The total miles of railroad at ihe close of the fiscal year, on

the tons carri d in the preceding
year were 3,413.398, showing an increase of 497,863 tons, or
14 59 100 per cent. The average rate received per ton was $3 75,
against $2 64 in the previous year, being an increase of 4 i7-100
per cent.
The increase of eleven cents per ton in the average rate
received is ow'ng to trarsportation over longer distances, and is
principally indicative of the fact that the new prairies of Minnesota and the partly cultivated areas of other portions of our more
remote and comparatively undeveloped lines are rapidly becoming productive, and are settling up with an industrious and
thrifty people.
The actual reduc ion in rates from those of the preceding year,
when applied to the large movement of tonnage, is equivalent to
the sum of $847,927; which amount represents the concession to
cheap transportaiion made by this company during ihe past year
in the movement of freight.
The whole number of tons carried one mile was 633,768,598,
against 485,357,900 in the preceding year, being an increased
movement of 28 52 100 per cent. The rate received per ton per

OPERATING EXPENSES, FIXED CHARGES, ETC.
The entire charges appurtenant to the busin;ss of the year
amounted to $12,288,575, being an increase of $331,699 over
those of the preceding year.
On the Chicago & Northwestern proper, the proportion of
operating expenses and taxes to gross earnings was 4974 per
cent, and upon the entire property it was 51 66 per cent.
TRACK AND EQUIPMENT.
The material
condition of the company in respect to its
property has fully kept pace with its increase of traffic, and at
the present time the railroad, in all it< departments, is in a high
state of efficiency.
The company has in operation 756 miles of
steel track, having laid down 164 miles during the last year,
and the renewal of the principal lines with steel will e steadily
continued.
At the present time the company owns 369 engines and 9,643

Union Trust Company of New York, trustee of the gold bonds,
In accordance with the terms of tlie trust in case of consolidation

It will be understood, however, that this acreage includes
lands to be sold, but not yet deeded.
To the above lands should be added the company's proportion
of the Menominee R. R. R. lands, which, as aiiove stated, is
94,237 acres, which would make a grand total of lands, the title
to which is still in the company, of 2,225,339 acres, exclusive of
lands in Minnesota which may be acquired east of the west line
of range Si, in final settlement of contested claims.
The sales of lands in Minnesota and Dakota have increased
beyond precedent, the amount sold in May, the last month of the
fiscal year, liaving aggregated $117,399, as against $1,197 in the
month of May, 1877. Our land agent at Marshall, Minn.,
reports that nearly all of the Government lands lying along the
line of the Winona & St. Peter Railroad have been preempted,
or taken np by actual settlers.

Milwaukee &
St.
Paul.— lo the
case of Streeter vs.
the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company, which is a
8uil under the late Poller law ol Wisconsin to recover three
times the auiount of overcharge above legal rates for the transportation of lumber from Fond du l.ac lo Oconomowoc, the State
Supreme Court, on appeal from the Waukesha Circuit, decide
finally that in a suit for such damafjeg, after the repeal of the law
fixing such rates, the plaintiff cannot recover, the saving clause
of the repealing act (the Vance Railroad law, so called) being
insulficient in lis language to preserve the rights of the plaintiff
under the law. Neither can the plaintiff, without an amendment
to his complaiot, recover, as in a common Jaw action, for the
simple exceea of such overcharges above reasonable rates. This
decision sweeps away all the civil esses for damages pending
against the railroad companies for violations of the Potter law in
overcharges for freight and passenger fares.
As to the ifsue of bonds by this company this year, 1878, a
member of a German banking house said to the American
Exchange re; oitet : "To my certain knowledj^e, in March last
the St. Paul Company sold, through a banking house of this city,
^1,080,000 sinking fund bonds at 93. Out of the sum realized,
the company retired $210,000 10 per cent equipment and bridge
bonds, and used $250,000 to buy a small railroad in Minnesota,
What was done with the
about fifty-three miles in length.
remainder of the money I do not know. In July of this year the
company sold another lot of the same class of bonds at about
the same price $400,000 was the amount, I believe. There has
been no further issue of sinking fund bonds since that time, to
my knowledge, but recently, in August, the company sold in this
city $1,000,000 Iowa Division bonds at 91. This Iowa Division is
an extension of the Iowa & Dakota Division of the road, which
Stops at Algona, Iowa.
The extension is to be carried from that
point to Sheldon, in Sioux County, Iowa, a distance of about
eighty-five miles.
The road is mortgaged at the rate of $15,000
—
—
—
per mile, although the portion already finished twenty-five
miles was built at a cost of $8,000 per mile."
It has been stated at different times, in communications to
the daily newspapers, that the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul
preferred stock is cumulative; or, in other words, that if 7 per
cent is not paid on this stock out of the earnings of a certain year,
it has a claim on the earnings of the next year.
Therefore, no
dividend could be paid on the common stock until 7 per cent for
all past years had been paid on the preferred.
This statement
seems to be plainly erroneous, and the claim of the preferred
stock appears to be limited to each current year by itself. The
—
—
preferred stock certificates read as follows
" This stock is entitled to a dividend of 7 per cent per annnm from the net
•
•
earnlnga for each current y.ar.
»
1h\s certtttcate and stock
represenled hereby is isautd and received subject to all the terms, conditions
and limitations of the articles of association of this company."
The terms and conditions of the articles of association referred
to in the certificate read as follows:
" The said preferred stock, except scrip stock, shall be entitled to a
dividend of seven per cent per annum, from the net earnings of each current
year, after payment of interest on all the mortgage bonds, if the company
earn so much during the current year, and before the payment of dividends to
any other class of stockholders; but the company may reserve a reasonable
working capital or surplus, before the dividend shall be declared or paid on
said preferred stock, which surplus shall not exceed at any time the aggregate
sum of 1^50,000, over and above the floating or unfunded debt, and the
accrued interest on the mortgage bonds. If the net earnings of the company
are not as much as 7 per cent in any one year, then the said preferred ttock
:
than receive for that year a dividend of whatever the said net earnings are,
after the payment of interest on the mortgage bonds, and the reasonable
reserve for a working capital, as above described.
Said preferred slock shall
t'Ol have ami clatm vprm the earnings of any other year,
for the r«m.-vayinent of
dividende of any preceding year. And whenever the company earns eufflcient
over and above the payment of interest on the bonds and the re.-erve above
named, to pay a greater sum than 7 per cent on said outstanding preferred
stock, and
per cent on the common stock, then the said preferred stock shall
ebire pro rata with the common stock in such earnings."

Montclair
$3,438 30
& Greenwood Lake.— The joint committee
of hold-
and second mortgage bonds of the Montclair &
Greenwood Lake RR. Co.met and discussed the report they had prepared. The plan agreed upon by the joint committee, as reported in
ers of the first
the Times, provides for the imposition of a uniform assessment of
6 per cent upon each of the holders of the first and second mortgage bonds. This assessment must be paid in cash. In return,
the holders of the first mortgage bonds will receive first income
bonds at par, and bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent. The
holders of the second mortgage bonds will receive second income
bonds for their face value only. The voting power in the reorganized company, according to the plan of reconstruction, will be
vested only in the holders of the first Income bonds. It is
reported that if the plan is accepted, and the. assessment of 6 per
cent is paid by each holder of the first and second mortgage
bonds, the aggregate sum of $150,000 will be realized, which is
said to be sufficient to pay off all liens on the railroad.
The plan
also provides that tlie holders of the common stock
of the Montclair & Greenwood Lake Railroad shall surrender it,
and receive
instead stock of the reconstructed railway to the amount of 20
per cent of the face value of the surrendered stock.

It will necessarily happen that the cost per mile will go up if
the companies spend, as most of them have been spending,
additional capital rather in improving their existing lines, than
in
making new ones.

quite a marvel that the times having been so dull the

by
already taken 1,291,000 bales since September 1 1877.
It Is quite certain that last year the mills had taken, before September 15, at
least two weeks' supply, or 50,003 bales, more than was actually necessary to
keep up fall work to the it coming of new crop in ample supply. That croi»
was a tardy one in its early maturing portion. This crop, up to this time,
promises an ample supply two weeks earlier than last year, notwithstanding
the probably small receipts in August. Why do Northern spinners need bny
any more cotton until they can have it from the npw crop ? A-e any of then
80 short in supply that they must buy? If yes, then others must hold more
than they need and surely there is nothing in the cotton mill businefs st this
time to justify a manager or treasurer in stocking up on high prices in the face
of a new crop, which at its smallest promise ia supposed to be 5,000,000 bales;
a crop which, if it happen to turn out 5X millions, with the bad condition of
manufacturing business the world over, would depress prices to the range at
which the surplus would be a good investment.

It is unnecessary to add anything to the above.
Unless th«
takings for purposes other than spinning have increased this

which has so largely increased, is
