While I am no more the friend of silver than of gold I be lieve them both essential as the money metals of tli* w orld and both equally practicable for that purpose, and that silver has been w ry unfairly treated and to the lietriment of tb x e nation* that have so treated it, and that free coinage w ill appreciate its gold price in proportion to the number and com m ercial importance of the countries adopting it. I there fore avail mreelf of your invitation and embody my views in the form of questions, involving points which heretofore hsve seemed clear to me. but w hich are by no m -«tu so if the opinion you express is (inaocialty sound. filers follow the •luestions which we omit in this pDce and give with our answers below.—g o .

The results of the operations o f the cotton-manufacturing establishment* at Fall River for the third quarter of 1885 have been quite satisfactory, making a more favorable exhibit so far as dividends are concerned than any quarter for some time past. Thirty-four corporations, with a combined capital of 630,578,000, are represented in the subjoined statement, only tw o o f w hich—the Barnaby Manufacturing Company and Metacomet Manufacturing Company—have passed their dividend*. The aggregate amount paid in dividends by tbe thirty-four corporations lias been 6869,875, or an average of 1'80 per cent on the capital invested, whereas in 1894 the average dividend was only 1*25 per cent. Tbe current favor able exhibit has been possible in the face of low prices for niiout all descriptions of gooils, ow ing to the fact that mills w ere well supplied w ith tbe raw material, purchased at low prices.

J ^ o u e ta v ijitC o m m c r c ia lE n g U s liB e u is {From o a r o w n eorroapon dent.l 267 September are times of exceeding dulness in Paris. Heia likewise all the leading operators have either left or are preperiog to leave. But although the holiday season has begun business has continued wonderfully good, and quotations have been well maintained all through the week. There is some slight decline in consols and other first-class securities ; but there has been a recovery in British railway stocks, and the activity in the South African market and in the Western Australian department has continued up to the end. In the American department the investing public is still holding aloof and professional operators are Dot doing much. The market therefore moves entirely in response to New York; there is as yet no initiative here. But undoubtedly much mere interest is felt here than lor a loDg time past In that market. The amount of unemployed money is so great, the difficuly of finding gcod investments is so insuperable, and the prices of all really sound stocks are so high, that people are looking about for some means of employing their money remuneratively. The American market is of course by far the largest and heretofote has been the most profitable. If therefore the public her.* could see reason to believe that sound money would be maintained there is no doubt that the market would become exceedingly active. Our people, however, are unable to iudge at this distance what is the real strength of the Silver Party. The belief is growing that the Silver Party is losing ground ; but a* yet the public is afraid to act on that belief. That the trade in the United States is improving everybody recognizes ; and that there is mu-b change for the better in many other respects ia likewise ad mitted. But tha, condition of the currency is still looked upon with apprehension. Matters are decidedly improving in Argentina. The news from Chili is also fairly good. But the belief is very strong here that several of the rt construe led Australian banks wii have to be wound up. At a meeting in the CoUnies about a m mth ago the repr^entatives of all the banks recommended that tha right of i**ue should be taken over by the govern ments, and this ia be-heTt-d to indicate that the hankers fear that tha notes of many of the hanks may be refused unless the Government comes to their assistance. Tbe wool auctions have ended even better than they began. Tne American baying has been on a very great scale ; so has the English. The Germans and French at first purchased very sparingly, but during the last week or two they also h >ught on a very large scale, and the result was dint prices were at the end even belter than at the beginning, and that the market was decidedly harder. The following return shows the position cf the Bank of England, the Hank rate of discount, the price of consols, A c ., -mupared with the last three years: i*w . 1*©2. M . M ISM. London, S aturday, Aug. 3 , 1S95. A portion of the proceeds of the Chinese loan has already been remitted from Plris to London to ths credit of the Jap anese Government. No gold has been sent, nor is it likely to come for a considerable time. The remittance has been made partly by the sale of French Treasury bills in London and partly bv drawing upon the large balances held here by several of the great French banks. It is understood that the money will lie paid out almost immediately, as Japan lias been buying actively both ships and naval stores. The re mittar.ces have been stopped for the moment, but they will be made gradually, as circumitances favor. la consequence the supply of money here is greater than ever and rates are likely to continue very low for some months. The silver market is dull with a downward tendency. On Wednesday, indeed, it was strengthened by the unex ectedly large applications for Iadia Council drafts. Only 5G lakhs were offered and the applications exceeded three crons, or six times as much. Toe Council, however, refused to sell below la . 1 5-32d. per rupee, aod it disposed altogether of about 48*4 lakhs. The price was high -r than had b-en anticipated, and Ibis for the momeut has supported the silver market But the general belief here is that the pru-e of silver will go lower. A very Urge amount has been held here for tome months in Ilia belief that China would buy ; and more is to arrive thU month from the United States. Unless, therefore, Japan buys more than is expected there is almost sure to be a decline in the price. But the opinion is that Japan will not buy much. Iodia is buying very little, and China for the time being is not buying at alL The elections are practically ended and the Government victory is more complete than anybody anticipated. The elections, however, have not excited as tuuch interest at heme as might have been expected. On the Continent they have made a good impression, the general feeling being that Lord Salisbury at tbe Foreign Office will make the influence of this country felt abroad and so will strengthen the causes Jug. a working for peace.

The Money Market ami Financial Situation.—The con dition of the foreign exchange market, the exports of gold and the Government treasury gold balance have been the chief topics of interest in banking and financial circles dur ing the week. The action of the Bond Syndicate in depositing .$3,000,000 of gold in the Sub-Treasury was favorably regarded, showing the interest of the Syndicate in maintaining the Government gold reserve. While business at the Stock Exchange has been dull, it is notable that investment bonds and stocks are readily ab sorbed when offered. And the fact that the bids for a block of $4,000,000 of railroad bonds offered by a prominent banking house were largely in excess of the amount reflects the general interest and ponfidence in such investments. All the latest reports from the West indicate that the corn and spring-wheat crops will both be very large, and the benefits which will accrue to that section of the country can hardly be over-estimated. New York banks report considerable inquiry for money for crop-moving purposes but the actual demand is yet limited. The open market rates for call loans during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged from % to 1 per cent. To-day’s rates on call were % to 1 per cent. Prime com mercial paper is quoted at 3J4 to i]4, per cent The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday sh.wed an increase in bullion of £940,198, and the percentage of reserve to liabilities was 58-51 against 57-85, last week; the discount rate remains unchanged at 2 per cent. The Bank of France shows a decrease of 1,275,000 francs in gold and 125,000 francs in silver. The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement of Aug, 10 showed a decrease in the reserve held of $2,133,200 and a surplus over the required reserve of $38,940,775 against $40,917,175 the previous week. 1895 Aug. 10.

Commercial offerings have been limited in amount and the demand is met in part by bills drawn against gold exports. The total amount of gold shipped during the week is $4,300,000, of which $400,000 goes out to-morrow. To-day actual rates of exchange were as follows: Bankers’ sixty days sterling, 4 883,4@4 ; demand, 4 90K@4 9034 • cables, 4 90}£@4 90%. ’ Posted rates of leading bankers are as follows : Aug. 16.

Railroad bonds have been firm under limited offerings. The features are Ore. Ry. & Nav. Co. 5s, Or. Short Lina 6 s and Ore. Short Line & U, N. con. rects., which have ad vanced from 2 to 5 points. Other bonds which have ad vanced about 1 point include L, N. A. & Chic. cons.. Phila. & Reading gen. 4s, S. A. & A. Pass. 4s and Chic. & E. I. gen. 5s. Some of the No. Pacific issue?, Sav. & Western and South ern Ry. bonds have been weak, and declined. Other active issues in which changes are unimportant include the Atchi sons, Ches & Ohio, Mo. Kan. & Tex., Reading and Rio Grande Western bonds. Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The market for stocks has continued dull and chiefly of a professional char acter. Some of the leading railway shares are fractionally higher than they were last week, but changes are generally unimportant. Efforts were made on Wednesday to depress the grangers on reports by the Weather Bureau of a cold wave in the Northwest, but they met with poor success. The coal stocks have been strong on the theory that the coal situation will soon receive the attention which it so much needs. Central of N. J. has advanced over a point and Del. & Hud. Canal and Reading are fractionally higher than they were last week. N. Y. Sus. & Western has been more active than usual, and both the common and preferred have advanced over a point. There was a sharp rise in New York & New England on Thursday, which was attributed to an effort to cover a short interest, and a report that the control and future policy of the company will soon be announced. Manhattan Elevated has failed to retain the advance which was noted last week and has dropped to 114%. The industrial list has been generally steady. American Sugar has fluctuated between 115% and 113% on limited sales. Am. Tobacco has been weak on reported competition in business, and declined from 1 1 2 % at the close last week to 107%. Distilling has been strong notwithstanding the efforts to prevent the sale of its property and probable future litiga tion. General Electric has lost 1 point of the 2 points gained last week. Chicago Gas and TJ. S. Leather shares have been dull, but are fractionally higher than our last ouota tions.

This guaranty i* an obligation of the Metropolitan Street Railway Co but is not a lien on the property. The results of the operation of the Elevated Rail way Co. are not included in the above statement. I Kansas City from its hilly character is an excellent street railway city, as is evidenced by the fact that the gross earn ings for the entire system upon which the bonds are a mort i gage were over |13,657 per mile of single track for the year , 1804.

For the year ending June 1,1898. the total interest charges will be $379,800 . The issue of consolidated bonds is limited to $8,500,000, and U secured bv a mortgage on the whole Metropolitan system . It is a first mortgag - on important parts of the system which have cost $3,089,847, subject only to a lien of $300 000, mtturing in 1897. The proceeds of the bonds sold will pay off the floating debt and provide funds for the improvements at present needed. There will remain in the treasury about 21 000,000 bonds for future use, and in the hand? of the trustees $4,550,000 to retire the same amount of existing bonds at maturity. The company has paid dividends every year since its incorporation except one. The physical condition of the property is good. No unusual expenditures will be required for some time to come, though, if conditions are favorable, it is probable that steps may be taken before long to convert certain horse lines into electric lines. The §1.000,000 of bonds reserved in the treasury of the company will furnish more than enough funds for equipping the present horse lines with electricity. By recent action of the C i^ Council of Kansas City. Mis»ouri,all franchises now coifl'olled by the Metropolitan Street Railway Co. in that city, including that of the Elevated Com pany, have been extended to 1925, or fifteen years beyond the maturity of the consolidated mortgage bonds.—V. 60, p. 1104.
