the purpose of acquiring a new site, the American

$1,000,000 to $1,500,000. The bank has an option (running to September 15) on the old building used by the Indianapolis Post Office, the option covering the main building and the ground.
The site has a frontage of 102 >£ feet
on Pennsylvania Street and 137}^ feet on Market Street, and
the purchase price named is said to be $400,000. The 5,000
shares (par value $100) to be put out by the bank will be issued at $150, payable October 13 1905. While stockholders
of record September 28 have the privilege of taking one new
share for every two at present held, it is hoped that they
will consent to waive their rights to a portion of the stock
to which they are entitled, with the view to placing it to
further increase the bank's business.
The $250,000 premium realized by the sale of the shares at $150 will be added
to the surplus and undivided profits.
The stockholders'
meeting for the purpose of ratifying the proposed increase
in capital will be held on September 13.
The capital of the
bank was increased from $350,000 to the present amount,

five years old, having commenced business in February 1901.

somewhat riotous living the fat ones. A period of careful
economy should permit us to recuperate, and although railway shareholders suffer from the present economies practiced by the public, the public first and the shareholders in
due course will benefit in the long run. As a consequence of
our past extravagance, every report of railway companies,
without exception complains of the heavy growth in the rates
and taxes levied by the various municipalities through
which the various systems pass. This complaint is by no
means confined to the railway companies. It is echoed by
the private citizen more or less in all the towns throughout

London, Saturday, August 5 1905.
Being so close to the seat of the negotiations, New York
should naturally be in receipt of somewhat earlier information than London can expect with regard to the varying
phases of the peace negotiations. Although read with great
interest, the interviews which took place between M. Witte
and the representatives of the American journals cabled
here have had but slight influence on the markets. It is argued that M. Witte, being known to be a strong advocate of
peace, having been throughout opposed to the war, will do
all in his power to bring his Government to a reasonable way
of looking at the situation.
The fact that he has been sent
seems to argue that Russia is at last coming to recognize
accomplished facts. On the other hand, the meeting between the German Emperor and the Czar is not liked. And
M. Witte's statement received by cable has not altogether
made a favorable impression. It is felt that M. Witte having agreed to be interviewed, was not likely, in the slang of
the day, to give his full case away.
The general impression this week on'the stock markets is
that the negotiations may be more prolonged than was
is
county of London, and 'especially in the
and more opulent districts, there are an abnormally
large number of houses to let.
It is inferred that the motor
car and other means of communication have induced the
residents to seek suburban fields where they are not subject
to the high rates levied in London.
Owing to the heavy call on the new Japanese loan and to
the money being transferred to the credit of the Government
at the Bank of England, rates in Lombard Street have been
exceptionally high this week.
The Bank reserve amounts to

Coming immediately after the

symptom by the German public. It has been announced,
however, that the visit of the fleet was arranged months ago

and the German Emperor. It is one of the unsatisfactory

Hickman, Lewis, Wayne and Lawrence, Tenn.
The company owns
one pig iron furnace at Warner, in Hickman County, Tenn., and two at
Allen's Creek, in Wayne County, Tenn.
The latter two only are at
present in operation.
These furnaces produce a special high silicon
brand of iron, known throughout the United States as "Alanine" softener,
and which is highly prized by all foundryuien. A large amount of
money has been expended on these furnaces, ore mines, ore- washing
plants, railroads, quarries, etc.. in bringing them up-to-date, with
modern mining machinery and the latest type of blowing engines and
hot blast stoves.
The two Allen's Creek furnaces are located on Buffalo River, near the
company's brown ore mines, which are admitted to be the most valuable
brown ore deposits in the South. All the coke now being used, about
250 tons per day, is brought from Wise County, Va., but this will be
furnished from our Eastland colliery as soon as the coke-oven plant at
that point is completed.
The saving of 50 cents a ton freight on 250
tons of coke per day will amount to SI 25 per day, which will be in addition to the profits' derived from the operation of the coke ovens.
Since organization on July 1 1902, with practically only
one coal mine, and until recently only one pig iron furnace in
operation, the profits have been as follows:

In addition to the foregoing, there has been expended or provided for

During the season just passed it became apparent that it would be
impossible to carry on the constantly increasing business on an economical
basis without largely increasing the facilities for the handling of rough
rice, and increasing also the warehouse capacity at New Orleans.

ment says:
These bonds are secured by an absolute first mortgage on 30 miles of
standard-gauge, high-speed, electric freight and passenger railway,
running from Aurora, 111., to DeKalb, 111., over a private right of wayaveraging fifty feet in width, and with a 40-year franchise in Aurora
and a 50-year franchise in DeKalb, with intermediate franchises perpetual; 22 miles of the road between Aurora and Maple Park are already
completed and the remaining 8 miles between Maple Park and DeKalb
will be finished by Aug. 15, after which date the road will be open to
both freight and passenger traffic. The bonds are further secured byabsolute ownership of the only gravel pit between Aurora and the Mississippi River, containing approximately 40,000,000 cubic yards of
highest grade of gravel in Illinois.
A minimum of 350,000 cubic yards
of this gravel per year for five years at Q% cents per yard (with option of
renewal atla price to be fixed by arbitration) has already been contracted
for.
Besides this, the railroad is guaranteed 5 cents for trackage privilege for every yard of gravel hauled over its fine, thus insuring not only a
steady market for freight, but also a total revenue from this source alone
of \\% cents per cubic yard of gravel, or over $40,000 per annum, which
is more than enough to pay the interest on the bonds.

Purchase. — The
(The) American Graphophone Co.
company has recently purchased the entire common stock of
$150,000 of the Burt Company, in accordance with the action of its stockholders at a special meeting held Aug. 10
1905, at which 75 p. c. of the Graphophone shares were repreeented and voted in favor.
The purchase price of the
Burt stock was $400 per share (par $100), payable in common stock of the Graphophone Company at par, $10).
The relations of the two companies are intimate. The
earnings of the Burt Company, we. are informed, arc greater
than the combined dividend payments on the common and
preferred stock of the (iraphophone Company, which by
this purchase secures to its own treasury the earnings on
the Hurt common stock.
The purchase means a very large
addition to the income of the Graphophone Company.

At the meeting of the directors of the

President Charles K. Oliver said:
The company's business for the ast six months is regarded as satisfac
tory and showed a decided improvement over the previous six months.
Thecompany has sufficient orders at advanced prices to keep the mills at
full capacity for several months with the necessary cotton, bought before
the advance, in Jits warehouses
The outlook for the remainder of the
year isthe most promising in the history of the company.
The company is making extensiveimprovements in equipping all of its
mills, especially the Baltimore mills, with new machinery, in replacement
—
machinery that has been in operation for several years, and now requires renewal from depreciation and by more improved machines.
It is
contemplated that approximately $1,000,000 will be spent in the Baltilarge
portion
of
which
more mills alone, for a
contracts have already been
placed, and some of the machinery is now on the way to the mills. In
addition, the available machinery to the extent of 20,000 spindles in the
mills that have been idle has been removed, and concentrated in the two
large mills in the South.
The Southern mills are all modern in every particular, so that with the
improvements under way in the Baltimore mills, the company's mills will
be entirely modernized, which means for the company increased production at reduced cost and consequently better margin of profits on its
steadily growing business.

A considerable portion of the Sea Island cotton shipped to
foreign ports goes via New York, and some small amounts
via Boston and Philadelphia. Instead of including this cotton
for the week in which it leaves the Southern outports, we
follow the same plan as in our regular table of including it
when actually exported from New York, &c. The details
of the shipments of Sea Island cotton for the week will be
found under the head "Shipping News" on a subsequent page.

The writer has just returned from a trip to the interior, and can only
report that the cotton is standing exceptionally well; water is everywhere
abundant, the weather continues magnificent, and any worms appearing
are energetically dealt with by the farmers and the Agricultural Department. The only remaining danger is fog, for which there is not yet a

—Cotton healthy and

These reports are summarized by the Crop Division as
follows:
As in the previous week, the least favorable reports respecting cotton
are received from the eastern districts, where the prevalence of rust and
shedding continues. During the past week a large part of the central
and eastern portions of the cotton belt has received from two to six
inches of rain, which has proved injurious.
In northern Alabama and
in portions of Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, cotton has improved,
but in other portions of these States the crop has deteriorated. In Oklahoma and Indian Territories, Arkansas and Missouri, cotton has generally
improved, although local complaints of shedding, rust and insects are
•
received from Arkansas.

Friday, Aug. 18 1905.
Only a very moderate volume of business has been transacted in the market for wheat flour.
Recent sales to the
trade have fairly well suppliedjbuyers' immediate wants, and

fair jobbing sale and at steadyjprices.

Reflecting the strength of the foreign markets, exporters

According to one authority the indications are for an exportable surplus of about 200,000,000 bushels of wheat from
the crop grown in this country this season.
Influenced by
the recent decline in prices, farmers in the winter-wheat belt
have been holding their supplies and there has been a considerable falling ofl in the crop movement, which has

Under the favorable weather and crop reports
there has been a moderate amount of bear selling of the
new-crop deliveries. Owing, however, to a good, steady
trade demand, limited stocks and only moderate country
acceptances, the market for near-by deliveries has shown a
good undertone. The spot market has held steady and
moderate sales have been made to exporters. To-day there
was a steadier market. The spot market was firmer; exporters were free buyers.

throughout the central valleys, Lake region and Middle Atlantic States.
Rain has afforded relief in the Ohio Valley, and while the crop in portions
of Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska was in need of rain at the close of the
week, the weather map of August 14 shows that good rains have occurred
where needed in the two first-mentioned States. Early corn is now practically made in the southern portions of Kansas and Missouri
SPRING WHEAT. Spring wheat has done well, only slight injury
from rust being reported. Under high temperatures the crop has ripened
rapidly, some of the early-sown having been harvested in North Dakota.
Cutting is well advanced in central Minnesota and northern South Dakota, and is practically finished in the southern portions of these States and

FOREIGN DRY GOODS.— Imported spring lines of
woolen and worsted dress fabrics are being shown by men
on the road, and their first reports indicate that the first
spring business is much better than the first fall business
was. Silks have been in moderate demand and are firm.
Ribbons are reported generally to be moving slowly, but
some claim that a fair business has been transacted. Good
spring orders for linens have been placed, mostly at higher
prices.
Burlaps are firm, with advances expected.

York, Friday, August 18 1905.
In spite of the decline that has occurred in the price of
cotton during the past week, the cotton goods market has
continued to gain strength, thereby fulfilling the predictions
that have frequently been made of late. The number of
buyers in town has largely increased and sales of goods have
been on a heavy scale. For this reason the market is becoming daily shorter of supplies and something like consternation prevails among the larger buyers of goods, who
realize now for the first time that they will be unable to secure all the goods that they need for their fall requirements.
Wherever goods are obtainable for anything like reasonable
delivery, no question is asked as to prices, and sellers are
able to obtain practically anything they demand.
Last
week it was thought that the advance had gone far enough,
but this week still higher prices have been recorded, and
many believe that the limit has not yet been reached. So
many looms are working upon contracts that the surplus
left for sale is entirely inadequate to supply the demands of
all and sellers are having hard work to keep their customers
satisfied.
Business at second hands has been very large of
and there are indications that as soon as first-hand buyers
have secured the goods that they require for fall use they
will place large orders ahead to guard against a similar experience later on to that which they are now having. The
market at the present time is entirely controlled by supply
and demand, and sellers are masters of the situation. Export business has been of very small proportions. Further
advances have taken place during the week in men's wear
light-weight woolen and worsted goods and ^business continues on a heavy scale.
