gressive rate; in June it reached $379,406, in July
almost seven hundred thousand dollars ($698,860),
while for the first week of August a further decrease
of $176,730 occurred, making the decrease for the
year to date over two million dollars. Such a state of
things could lead to but one result. Of course
present earnings are no criterion of the actual earning
capacity of the property. Industrial activity in the
Pacific Coast sections has come almost to a complete
standstill, and very little freight therefore is moving.
A change for the better must occur when Congressional
action restores confidence in business circles. It is
understood also that the war of rates between the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific is to be terminated.
Doubtless, however, it will take time to put the prop­
erty on its feet again, and possibly vigorous measures
may be required to place it in sound condition.
Money on call representing bankers’ balances has
loaned at 6 and at 2 per cent this week, averaging 4
per cent.
Renewals have been made at 4 to 5 per
cent, and banks and trust companies quote 6 per cent
as the nominal rate. The ease in the call loan branch
of the market has been wholly due to the fact that
offerings of unemployed funds come from almost every
quarter. There continues to be a disinclination on the
part of lenders generally to make contracts for fixed
periods. Those who have money which they would
under other circumstances loan upon time are holding
it apparently for emergencies or for temporary
investment. The demand for time money is urgent
from all quarters, including commission houses; and
merchants who have securities would gladly borrow on
time if they could obtain it. Individuals and corpora­
tions are among the most urgent of the applicants, but
as a rule they fail to get accommodation, and where
money is loaned it is at the rates which have been rul­
ing for the past month or more, with such commission
added as can be agreed upon. In commercial paper
the business is confined to dealings between the banks
and their customers, and the inquiry for accommoda­
tion does not relax. One of the highest-class commer­
cial-paper houses in the Street offers any of the very
best names at 10 per cent without being able to effect
sales. The Clearing-house loan committee on Thurs­
day issued $365,000 certificates, the first for the week,
and yesterday issued $500,000 more, and the amount
now outstanding is $37,880,000. The banks at St. Paul
and Minneapolis this week decided to issue certificates
of small denomination to assist in moving grain out of
farmers’ hands, and the inability of Southern banks to
get funds is likely to retard the movement of cotton.
The Bank of England made no change in its mini­
mum rate of discount this week, the rate remaining at
4 per cent. The cable reports discounts of sixty to
ninety day bank bills 3$ per cent. The open mar­
ket rate at Paris is 2$ per cent, at Berlin it is 4}
per cent, and at Frankfort 4$ per cent. According to
our special cable from London the Bank of England
gained £23,554 bullion this week, and held at the close
£25,256,013. Our correspondent further advises us
that the gain was due to imports of £510,000 (£256,000 from Holland, £200,000 from Australia, £10,000
from China, and £44,000 from other continental
sources), to receipts from the interior of Great Britain
of £350,000 and to exports to the United States and
Canada of £836,000.
Foreign exchange has been unsettled this week by the
varying premiums for gold and currency, and on Tues­

day and Wednesday there were frequent changes by

273

some of the leading drawers. The market was also i n ­
fluenced by dearer discounts |in London, which indi­
cated a possible advance in the Bank minimum. Com­
mercial bills have been scarce, the movement of grain
and cotton being interrupted by, the stringency in
money, and arbitrage operations have had little or no
effect. On Thursday it was stated that bids could not
be obtained for gold to arrive within ten days, but the
bidding was chiefly for gold on the spot, and 1$ per
cent and upward was paid for such metal. Those who
were importing generally had gold on hand, which
they sold at the ruling premium, and the profit enabled
further speculative importations to be made. The fol­
lowing table shows the changes in rates by the leading
drawers of exchange.

The market was very firm at the close and rates for ac­
tual business were as follows : 60-day, 4 82$ to 4 83;
sight, 4 87 to 4 87$; cable transfers, 4 88 to 4 88$;
prime commercial, 4 81| to 4 82, and documentary,
4 81$ to 4 81$. The arrivals of gold this week have
been the Aurania with $1,114,750; the Paris with
$740,000; the Yucatan, from Havana, with $780,000;
the Normandie with $315,800; the MQnchen, from
Bremerhaven, with $250,000; the Lahn with $4,069,675, and the Fuerst Bismarck with $4,195,185; total,
$11,465,410.
The statement of anthracite coal production for July
shows that the output during the month was consider­
ably curtailed as compared with the corresponding
month in 1892, and the decrease is the more noteworthy
as there had been a decrease last year too. The total
amount mined the present year in July was 3,275,863
tons, against 3,648,583 tons in July 1892 and 3,791,339
tons in July 1891. As usual the Schuylkill region shows
a heavier contraction than any other; of the decrease
of 372,720 tons from last year, 194,951 tons fell on the
Schuylkill region, while the reduction in the Wyoming
region, a much larger producer, was^only 171,862 tons
and in the Lehigh region but 5,907 tons. Under the re­
striction in output stocks of coal at tidewater shipping
points were reduced 75,408 tons during the month—
that is, from 808,854 tons June 30 to 733,446 tons
July 31, and the amount now is but little heavier than
a year ago. The following shows how the quantity dis­
posed of by the companies, after allowing for the
changes in tidewater stocks, compares for a series of
years past.

was further increased in the late year 647,349 gross'
tons, raising the total to 3,050,424 tons. Except for
the increase in this traffic the aggregate freight busi­
ness of the year would not have equaled that of the
previous year, as the tonnage of many articles of
freight fell off. This latter no doubt reflects the busi­
ness depression existing in the South. The favorable
exhibit of earnings which the road is able to make in
face of that fact is the more satisfactory on that account,,
and also because the average rate realized on the coal
tonnage further declined during the year. On the
coal shipments to the seaboard the company received
less than a third of a cent a ton a mile—actually 3*27
mills, this comparing with 3-44 mills in 1891-92;
while on the shipments to other points the average was
4-56 mills against 4'79 mills. On the general mer­
chandise freight the average was a little better than in
the year preceding, but still was no more than 6 -42
mills as against 6-30 mills. Combining the coal with
the merchandise, the average on the entire freight
traffic of the system was 5-l l mills against 5*3.6 mills.
Thus no class of the coal tonnage yielded as much as half
a cent a ton mile, and even when we take the aver­
age for the whole freight tonnage of all kinds, we get
a figure but little over half a cent per ton per mile.

The reason given is that low long-

tween the two nations is rendered tire less possible. Alto­
gether, therefore, we have reason to be well satisfied
with the decision which has been rendered. If we
have regrets we have also cause for rejoicing. If we
have sustained defeat in one way we have gained a
victory in another; and, all things considered, the gain
is greater than the loss.
There is one point of view from which the Court of
Arbitration and the decision are seen to advantage.
How much more satisfactory is such a mode of settling
international questions than by an appeal to arms. We
cannot think of war between two such nations as Great
Britain and the United States. Yet our relations are
liable to be strained like those of other nations. On
two important occasions, however, we have set the na­
tions of the world a good example. The Alabama
claims settlement and the Bering Sea settlement are
entitled to be placed side by side. I t is to be hoped
that in the case of future difficulties the examples will
be repeated. If arbitration, not war, should become
the rule among the nations, it will be largely due to
the influence and the lessons given by the two great
English-speaking peoples.

distance fares were made for the Presidential
inauguration in March and during the holding of the
convention of the Grand Army of the Republic at
Washington the previous September. We have re­
ferred above to the fact that the average load of freight
trains during the year was 283 tons. In the year pre­
ceding the average had been only 259 tons, and this
increase in load more than offsets the loss from lower
rates, so that the average earnings per mile run by
freight trains was actually larger in 1893 than in 1892,
standing at $1 44 against $1 38, which illustrates one
way in which the management have been able to secure
such satisfactory results.
Earnings per passenger
train mile also increased, notwithstanding the lower
average rate received, a greater average number of
passengers per train having been carried.
NET EARNINGS FOR JUNE.

We confine onr statement of net earnings this time
to the results for the month of June, deferring till nest
week the exhibit for the half-year, so as to include roads
whose returns it has not been possible to obtain the
present week.
The very unfavorable showing of earnings for June
made thia week by the Union Pacific has given the im­
pression that all the roads did poorly in that month.
B at that is not the fact. Our statement shows a gain
in the aggregate in both gross and not—$1,713,162 or
2*96 per cent in the former, and $1,035,910 or 6*18 in
the net. The following is a summary of the figures:

The improvement in the net follows in part from the
vigorous policy of retrenchment which some of the roads
have entered upon. It is also a fact that the gain in
the net last year was quite moderate, and that a num­
ber of roads and groups showed no gain at ail then, but
rather a loss. A comparison of the June results for a
series of years is furnished in the following.

The Union Pacific stands almost alone in the mag­
nitude of its loss in gross and net, though if we had
the return of the Northern Pacific, doubtless that road
would tell a similar tale. The decrease for the Union
Pacific is $575,725 in gross and $578,497 in net. The
only other roads which show a falling off of any con­
sequence in gross or net are in the case of the net the
Philadelphia & Reading (including the Coal & Iron
Company) with $107,823 decrease, the Louisville &
Nashville with $108,751 decrease, the KaDsa3 City Fort
Scott & Memphis with $64,752 decrease, and the
Southern Pacific with $37,330 decrease ; and in the
case of the gross the Brie with $74,046 decrease, the
Fort Scott & Memphis with $40,536 decrease, and
the Chicago Burlington & Quincy with $33,616 decrease.
On the other hand there are some quite large gains in
both gross and n e t; thus the Pennsylvania has an in­
crease of $623,956 in gross and an increase of $674,000 in

279

net, the Illinois Central, which of course w benefitted
a&
greatly by the Fair, an increase of $346,531 in gross
and $394,343 in net, the St. Paul an increase of $163,201 in gross and $203,214 in net, woiie the Baltimore
& Ohio has gained $153,239 in net, the Northern
Central $133,028, the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe
$75,103, the Burlington & Quincy $56,314. the Ohio &
Mississippi $53,859, the Canadian Pacific *51,177, &c.f
& g.

in both gross and net exceeding $31,000.

When the roads are arranged in groups, the Pacific
group is the only one that records a loss in both gross
and net, though three other groups, namely the South­
ern, the Mexican and the Anthracite Coal, have small
losses in the net. Three groups—the Middle, the Mid­
dle Western, and the Trunk Line—have very note­
worthy ratios of improvement, the trunk line group
showing a gatn of $888,379 or 20*90 per cent, the Mid­
dle a gain of $191,146 or 34*84 per cent, and the Mid­
dle Western a gain of $382,467 or 47 95 per cent. In
the last-mentioned ease the improvement is dne mainly
to the heavy increase on the Illinois Central; of the re­
maining roads in that group9 have anincreasein net and
9 a decrease. In the Middle group the Northern Central
and the Buffalo Rochester & Pittsburg are chiefly
responsible for the extent of the improvement; 7 of
the 15 roads report decreases, though only for small
amounts. In the trunk line group, besides the very
heavy gain on the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore & Ohio
has a large gain, and increases also are shown by the
Ohio & Mississippi, the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
and the Erie ; the Wabash suffered a loss in net.
In the Pacific group, where the loss in the aggregate
is so heavy, the Canadian Pacific and the Rio Grande
Western form exceptions to the ru le ; in the case of
the Southern Pacific, the decrease has followed entirely
from a loss on the Pacific system, the lines in the At­
lantic system all showing guns in n e t ; in the Union
Pacific case all the roads have suffered a falling off with
two minor exceptions, and in the gross there are no
exceptions at all. In the anthracite coal group the
loss in net comes entirely from the Reading and is due
to increased expenses. In the Northwestern group,
where there is an increase of $270,770, or 12*50 per
cent, the result has been controlled largely by the
large gain on the St. Paul, though only four of the ten
roads in that group fall behind in their net, and for

[V ol , LV1L

only small amounts too. In the Southwestern group
the change in the aggregate is Yery slig h t; four of the
roads hare decreases in net and six increases. In the
Southern group fifteen of the twenty-nine roads have
sustained decreases; only two roads have gains of any
magnitude, namely the Cincinnati New Orleans &
Texas Pacific and the West A irginia Central & Pitts­
burg. Of the three roads in the Mexican group, the
Mexican International has an increase, the other two
decreases.

Wednesday night about a m illion and three quarters sterling
in gold was withdrawn from the Bank for the U nited States.

million sterling at 5 per cent for six months, and the Atchison

General E lectric —The plan for taking up the floating debt
as published in the C hron icle in us issue ot Aug. 5 has been
changed in some of the details. The Trust w ill be styled
“ The Street Railway and Illum inating Properties.” The
stock of the Trust w ill be $9,000,000. One-half will be cum u­
lative 6 per cent preferred stock, w ith a preference apply­
ing to principal and dividends.
The Trust w ill com ­
prise $12,000,000 to $13,000,000 notes receivable and in­
terest-bearing stocks and bonds from the General Elec­
tric treasury. These are bought for $1,500,600, less 10 per
cent., or $450,000, which goes to the underwriters, the
company receiving $4,050,000 n et from the transaction. It
is calculated that the securities in the iru-t will yield an
income in interest and dividends of more than $100,000 per
year. I he preferred dividend wdl call for $276,000, l aving a
balance for the common stock. As the notes and other secu­
rities are liquidated, the proceeds w d l he applied to cancella­
tion of the principal of the preferred s:ock, to oe drawn for
payment at a premium. W hen the preferred stock has been
canceled, the remaining assets w ill stand to the credit of the
common stock.

The fixed charges w ill be increased to $275,000 for the year
ending June 30, 1894, on account of eighty miles of road
added to the system—thirty m ilts in W est Virginia and fifty
m iles iD Ohio. The latter extension, from Ridgeway, O., to
Columbus, w ill be finished this month. The completion of
this link makes a short line from Columbus to Toledo. Trains
comm enced running from Charleston, W . V a., to Gauley
River Aug. 1, establishing a short line via Chicago & Atlantic
to Chicago, and via Toledo & Ohio Central to the lakes from
Newport N ews, Richmond and the South Atlantic Coast.
Union Pacific Denver & G ulf—Union Pacific.— A despatch
from Denver, Col., A ugust 14, says the suit of ex-Governor
Evans and others against the U nion Pacific Denver & Gulf
R ailw ay Company for an accounting and a receiver has been
set for trial September 4. The suit affects about 1,500 miles
of railroad cow under Union Pacific control. Ex-Governor
Evans owns between $600,000 and $700,000 of the stock. One
of the principal complaints is that the U . P. D. & G. line has
been made to subserve the interests of the main line to the
detriment of the former, and that the head offices are not
m aintained in Denver as per the contract of consolidation.
Gen. Grenville M. Dodge is reported as saying “ The demands
of Governor Evans are only as to the administration of the
traffic agreement w ith the Union Pacific. Under that agree­
m ent no one could obtain a receiver unless he could show in­
tentional violation of its terms. This, of course, cannot be
done as long as the traffic joint to the tw o companies is
divided on a basis that w ill insure to the Union Pacific Den­
ver & Gulf sufficient income to m eet the interest on its bonds
as the terms of the contract provide.”

Notwithstanding the severe competition and necessarily low
rates made by railway lines in the summer and autumn of
1892, the fiscal year just closed has been a very successful one
for this company. A s w ill be seen from tbe table on page 19 [of
pamphlet report] (which includes the E. L. & B. S. and O. &
B. S. for both years), the gross earnings have incieased, on
practically identical m ileage, five and one-half per cent,
while the operating expenses have decreased over four per
cent, although the average rate received on freight and pas­
senger traffic has been a trifle lees than in the previous year.
Tne net earnings for the year are $3,204,049 78, and although
the fixed charges, as compared w ith previous years, are in ­
creased by the conversion of the preferred stocks and the
acquisition of the K entucky roads, this sum has been suffi­
cient to meet them in fu ll and leave a surplus of $423,760 20
over all charges. For the first tim e in its history, therefore,
the property nas earned som ething on its com m on stock and
it is believed that such a result w ill be satisfactory to the
stockholders and be found encouraging for the future. It is
mainly due to the enlargements and improvements heretofore
undertaken at terminals, the addition of double track and the
efficient condition of engines and permanent w ay, w hich have
enabled the company to operate its road at m uch less ratio of
expense than in previous years. The cost of conducting trans­
portation this year was $3,034,819 94 against $3,046,015 90 a
year ago, although the business transported this year w as
larger than a year ago, v iz .: 118,505,504 passengers and 1,479,487,919 tons of freight hauled one m ile in 1892-3 against 97,053,449 passengers and 1,359,657,261 tons hauled one mile in
the previous fiscal year.
The average number of passengers per train m ile has in­
creased from 37 to 44; and, w ith the income received from
mail and express, the earnings of the passenger trains have
increased from 92 cents to $1 per mile.
The average load hauled by freight trains lias increased from
259 to 283 tons; and, w hile the rate per ton per mile decreased
from 5 -36 m ills to 5'11 (or 5 per cent), the average earnings
per mile run by freight trains increased from $1 38 to $1 44.
The average amount per m ile received from each passenger
has decreased from 2'21 to 1 ’98 9-10 cents. This arises from
the special rates made over the main line for the assembly of
the Grand A rm y of the Republic at W ashington, in Septem­
ber last and for the Presidential ^inauguration in March,

F oreign D ry G oods.—The demand in this department is

limited in itself and further restricted by the incomplete
stocks shown by importers, who from currency stringency
and inclination combined are clearing sm all supplies of mer­
chandise from bond. The business done has been w ithout
feature w orthy of note, and in the absence of an outlet of
legitim ate character importers generally quote previous
prices for staple lines.

D omestic W oolens.—The presence of some buyers from

the W est has helped matters a little in this department, and
were it not for the cancellations which still come to hand with
unpleasant frequency, a fair gain in business could have been
reported. Fall goods have been in better request than spring
weights, w ith low to medium grades having the preference
over finer makes in all men’s-wear materials. Although pro­
duction has been cut down so much, agents are still easy to
deal with and prices are weak and irregular. Jobbers are re­
cording better results in woolen and worsted dress goods and
occasionally are reordering, but so far agents have not de
rived any material benefit and business is exceedingly dull
w ith them.
Domestic C otton G oods.— The exports of cotton goods

from this port for the week ending A ugust 15 were 4,422
packages, valued at $247,302, their destination being to the
