But take the return for the same The more important features this week have been the week of the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul, a road re debate in Congress over the repeal of the silver pur mote from the silver-producing sections. That road chase law, the report of the Finance Committee of reports a falling off for the second week of $113,140, the Senate in favor of repeal (we print the or over 18 per cent.

What is of deepest interest is that the latest This is the loss, be it remembered, for a single week and reports from Washington, those which have come in at for only a portion of the mileage of the country and also the close of the week, are the most hopeful which have the loss notwithstanding the increased passenger traffic been received. Indeedit begins to look as if the repeal which some of the roads have derived from the Worlxl s bill would pass the House by a large majority, and Fair. The further away we get from the Eastern finan would get through the Senate too within reasonable cial centres, the more pronounced the depression seems time. This work cannot be accomplished too to be, and that is natural, for the interior sections of the quickly, as the failures daily occurring and our country have products to sell and these products can depressed industrial interests so plainly indicate; not be disposed of except with extreme difficulty and relief is needed and is needed as soon as possible. at a great sacrifice so long as distrust stops the wheels The demand for currency and for gold has continued, of industry and keeps the mechanism of exchange in a as already stated, and has been sufficiently active to disorganized state.

The company had suffered How great is the paralysis of business by reason of pretty heavy decreases in the early months, but the prevailing distrust, and how urgent therefore the these caused no apprehension since they were thought need for the speedy removal of the cause of distrust, is to be due mainly to the severity of the winter weather. made evident by the character of the exhibits of rail In May a slight improvement in revenues occurred, but road gross earnings which are daily being received. for the five months to May 31 the company was Some of the returns for July were bad enough, but the $822,555 behind the corresponding period of last year. returns for the weeks of August are still worse, show Since then the decrease has been going on at a proTHE August 19, 1893.] THE CHRONICLED 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. IFrl., Ao«. it.: . 4 82 n™ Brown a roe... i SO Oars . 4 87 , Bann*. <60 flays. . 4 81 Macoun 4 Co.

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. J a n u a ry J u ly . 1 to J u ly 81.

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.

Under the improvement company has promoted and which is expected to begin in the physical condition of the property, the ratio of running in October, an increase in business from the expenses to earnings has been reduced from 83 per export and import traffic through Newport News more cent in 1888-9 to 69 per cent in 1892-93. In the late than sufficient to offset the loss in the mineral traffic year the improvement expenditures charged against can be secured. The company has no floating debt aside from $640,earnings were not as heavy as in the year immediately preceding, hut were yet considerable. Interest charges 742 bills payable, put out in financing the -steamship are much larger than a few . years ago, in part as the line mentioned above. The ordinary current liabilities result of the conversion of the preferred shares into ob June 30 were $2,440,567 and the ordinary current assets ligations bearing a fixed charge; nevertheless, there was at the same date are given as $2,391,448, including a surplus above the charges in 1892-93 of $423,760, $318,532 of materials and supplies on hand. Mr. against a deficit below the charges in 1888-89 Ingalls says that for the first time since the new of $350,000, and a deficit in 1889-90 of $197,- management has been in control of the prop 862. President Ingalls, under whose management the erty there is practically no new construc road has been raised to its present position, states tion work in progress or contemplated, it being that this is the first time in its history that the com the intention to let the road develop for a time with pany has earned something on its common stock, and what has already been expended. “ Later on the com he says that the result is due mainly to the great im pany will desire to add to its terminal facilities at Rich provement which has been made in the condition of the mond and at several outlying points, and some steps property and in its facilities for transacting business. looking to these results have already been undertaken The Cheseapeake & Ohio is obliged to move freight and some moderate expenditures have been made for at very low average rates, in part because a very large necessary lauds.” The company’s passenger rate de proportion of its traffic consists of coal which has to clined sharply in the late year, dropping to be carried in competition with the coal coming from below two cents per passenger per mile—1" 989 other regions. The output of. the mines on the line cents. 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. AUGUST 19, 1893,] THE CHRONICLE.’ 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.

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. 0 n m M am im w . T m rm A wwm&m Qf rem it. fw & trm .

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.

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 THE CHRONICLE. 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. SECTION OB Gr o u p . N e t E a rn in g s. Gross F am inos. 1893. 1893. 1892. 1892.

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.” West V irg in ia Central & P ittsb u r g .—The gross and net earnings of this Railway Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1893, are reported as follows: 1892.

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, A ugust 19, 1893.J :THE CHRONICLE. These long distance fire s w ere necessarily m i l s a t lo w rite 3 and reduced the general average. Tne reduction in average fre ig h t rates is due to th e Iowa rates on coal, ow ing to com oetitioa a n d to th e la rg e r am ount of th a t com m odity tlolirerad a t the seaboard an 1 west. I t is verv g ratify in g , how ever, to sea th a t o n fre ig h t o th er th a n coal the average r i te has increased from 0*3 > m ills to 6 43 m ills, show ing th a t th e Traffic D apartm ent, w hile secu rin g a large am o u n t of business, succeeded in the face o f g re a t ob stacles and severe com petition in securing th a t business a t a n increased rate.

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.
