foreign exchange was being reported in this city (say
about the 1st of August) very near the gold-export
point, there was a shipment of $1,500,000 in gold
arranged for at Australia via San Francisco to New
York which arrived at San Francisco last week and
from that city was transferred this week to New York

Does it not, on the whole, look as if some
power was playing ducks and drakes with our exchange market ?
Advices regarding the growing corn crop have been
more encouraging this week than at any time since
the opening of the crop season. This does not
mean that the recent drought was not a reality or that
the reports of damage done by it were a figment of the
imagination. It does mean, however, that propitious
conditions are being experienced at a time when such
conditions are especially essential, and that as a con-

sequence there seems a good chance that the early
extreme accounts of loss may be modified to some
extent
for the
better.
The National Weather
Bureau's weekly weather summary issued on
Tuesday stated that a very general improvement in
the condition of late corn was indicated in the principal corn States.
In Iowa the crop, it was said, is
materially improved and more promising than was
deemed possible on August 1, though the yield is still
reported contingent upon additional moisture very
soon and the absence of frost the greater part of
September. A better outlook was also noted in Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, the States where the
most damage had been done by the drought. Moreover,
in the great corn belt east of the Mississippi, where the
absence of moisture was threatening serious harm,
good rains have fallen, saving the crop. Private advices
and the reports of the State bureaus
are,
a rule, considerably more hopeful than
as
the National Bureau.
No one suggests that the
country's aggregate yield will not be decidedly short,
but simply that the situation is not so extremely bad
as at one time seemed likely.
As regards wheat estimates they are again being raised. There is a disposition now to look upon a crop of 700 million bushels
as a minimum, with a possibility that the total may be
fifty million bushels in excess of that figure, some

the Bank of England gained £1,350,655 bullion during
the week and held £39,071,185 at the cIobo of the

gain was due to the import of £746,000 (of which

£16,000 from the Continent,) and receipts of £605,000

The foreign exchange market was quite active
and lower early in the week, influenced by a liberal
supply of bankers' bills against securities and by free
offerings of commercial drafts, both spot and futures,
against grain.
One feature was unusual activity on
Saturday of last week, when there was an important
fall of half a cent in short and in cables.
There was
a further, though not so sharp, a decline on Monday,
followed later by a recovery. There have been moderately large speculative transactions in long sterling,

with the intention of covering later in the season,

and there have also been negotiations of sterling and
French exchange loans. The recoveries after the
above-noted declines in rates were due in part to the

TEE PENSION CONTROVERSY AGAIN
Probably not very much attention would have been
paid to the annual report of the Pension Commissioner, published this week, but for the recent attacks
on that officer on the ground that he was treating the
veterans unjustly.
The effort to oust Commissioner

"Grand Aimy politics."
Some point has since been added

to these develop-

ments, however, by the publication of the annual statement. Mr. Evans had been accused of "crowding out"
the deserving old soldier. The report discloses the fact
that the net addition to the names on the pension
roll during the fiscal year 1901 was 4,206, and that the
actual number of new allowances for pensions was
4,000 more than in any preceding year.

But the annual outlay is still considerably more than
five times as great as it was when Garfield declared
that only unwarranted extravagance could increase it.
Nor is there any reason to suppose that demagogues
would not willingly enlarge even the present heavy
drain.
The fact that we are now once more confronted with an overflowing revenue, taken together
with the recent attack by Grand Army politicians on
a commissioner who respects his duty, gives sufficient warning as to what the public has in the very
near future to guard against.

show, this drain

whole policy of pension
largess is not, as our readers know, based in the
slightest respect on unwillingness to see the veteran
properly provided for.
We admit that we do not
agree, and never have agreed, with the proposition
contained in President Ilarrison's first message to
Congresp, "that Congress grant a pension to such
honorably-discharged soldiers and sailors of the Civil
War ae, having rendered substantial service during
the war, are now dependent upon thei own labor for
a maintenance, and by disease or casualty are incapacitated from earning it." What avenues of hitherto
unimagined fraud must be opened by such an offer from
the Government, the lawyers who haunt the corridors
of the Pension Bureau are best able to say.
We emphatically do not endorse this scheme of pensioning
every ailing veteran, whether disabled by accident or
by his own excesses, and whose ailments have no connection with his service.
But we believe, as we
always have believed, in the utmost liberality consistent with strict and rigid showing of the facts, and

Moreover, these high earnings have
been attained on very low average rates. As showing
the density of its traffic it may be noted that in the
late year the road carried the equivalent of almost five
thousand million tons of freight one mile (4,989,581,988 tons) and in the previous year it carried over five
thousand millions— 5,157,955,975 tons. These figures
alao serve to indicate the importance of the system as
a public carrier.
The average number of miles of
road operated in 1900-01 was 2,155 miles, so the
movement one mile averaged 2,315,351 ton miles per
mile of road a remarkably high figure. The average
for the whole Middle States group of roads, according to the report of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, was for 1898-99 (the latest year for which we
have the compilations) 1,774,273 ton miles per mile of
road.
In the last four years the number of tons of
freight moved one mile has been increased over a

annual report sub-

mitted this week reveals many evidences of strength
and development.
We often wonder whether the
property will ever outlive the discredit which attached to it in its early history. In the public mind
it seems impossible to dismiss the idea of weakness
which originated in the misfortunes of three and four
decades ago. Its financial standing has necessarily
been adversely affected by reason of the large amounts
of debt the legacies of past administrations that
had to be carried down through each succeeding reorganization. Encumbered with such a heavy funded
debt and the stock issues also being large, dividend
payments were obviously not within easy reach. To
the ordinary investor a situation which does not
admit of regular and continuous returns to the shareholders appears incompatible with the notion of progress and prosperity, and hence the investing public
has never been able to get itself to think of the Erie
as anything but the embodiment of weakness which it
once was. Even a cursory examination, however, of
its affairs, as gathered from recent annual reports, will
convince any one that the property is an important
and a valuable one, that great strides have been made,

and that estimates of its
merits based on past conditions are out of date and
must be revised.
Of course the property will always be hampered
more or less by the errors, financial and physical,
which marked its early history. But despite all these
drawbacks the Erie ranks as one of the great railroad
properties of the country and it is being conducted in
accordance with the best modern standards. It is
both an important East and West trunk line and a
large carrier of coal. To most persons it will be a

from $6,781,967 to $3,610,102. The freight
earnings in the same interval increased from $23,476,583 to $29,284,996. Reference was made above to the
riBen

fact that aggregate gross earniags average $18,133 per

mile of road.

In 1897-98 the average was but $14,822

per mile.

On

the operating side the results are equally note-

worthy and satisfactory.
The fact that traffic and
revenues have been developed in such a striking way
is of course the best evidence that the property has
been brought to a high physical state; otherwise such
development would have been neither possible nor
profitable.
But if testimony were needed on this
point it would be found in the traffic records. In the
late year a further addition wa3 made to the average
train load, raising it to 400 tons, this including
material carried for the company's own use, which
averaged 25 tons per train. As against the 400 tons
for 1900-1, the average train-load two years before was
only 335 tons and in 1896-97 but 291 tons. The addition during the four years has thus been 109 tons,
being an improvement of over 33 per cent. The company's splended record in this respect is the more significant as the results cover the whole system from
tidewater to Chicago, and the line is handicapped by
some heavy grades. On the Erie proper the average

In connection with the opening of its Harlem branch, the
Knickerbocker Trust Company has issued a very interesting
little book on the subject of trust companies.
The brochure
traces the origin and growth of these corporations and shows
how inevitable it was that with the increase in the country's
wealth its bankable capital should find an additional channel
for that portion not actively engaged in trade. It also shows
that the relations between banks and trust companies must
continue to be tho3e of harmony and friendship and not of

Saturday's Chronicle to the composition of the Utica Trust
Company's directory, which is made up of local bankers.

deposits in New York State during the past five
years has not been at the expense of the banks, which have
also shown a considerable increase within the same period.
Attention is also called to the fact frequently overlooked that

company

where trust companies are legal depositaries, they furnish a
place where executors and other fidicuaries can deposit trust
funds without any anxiety as to loss occurring to themselves
personally from the failure of these institutions, thereby removing an element of disquiet from the market at crucial
times. The pamphlet dwells at length upon the special functions of trust companies and serves to clarify the general
public view on the subject. There is a very valuable synopsis
of the laws of the St^te of New York governing the inheritance of real and personal property. This part of the work,
we are informed, has been carefully prepared by eminent
counsel.

— In the

August number of " The Southern Field," a perifrom the office of the Land and Indus' rial

odical issued

Agent

of the Southern Railway, attention is called to the
inadequacy of the banking facilities in the South, it is
pointed cut that there are in the eight Southern Statereached by the Southern Railway 1,416 banking institutions,
capitalized at an aggregate of $97,511,972. As the population of these eight

States

amounts to

14,852,398, the

per

capita bank capital is approximately only $6 56. Comparing
with Iowa, an agricultural 8tate like the ones mentioned, it
is found that that State, with a population scare ly more than
Virginia, has 1,211 banking institutions, having an aggre

gate capital of $63,402,307, or $28 41 per capita. Making the
calcu'atlon more in detail, the tanking capital per capita cf
Iowa is more than six times larger than that of Alabama,
fcur times ttat of Georgia, nearly two and a-half times that
of Kentucky, nearly seven and one-talf times that of Mississippi, over nine times that of North Carolina, over five
times that of South Carolina, over four times that of Ten
nessee and four times that of Virginia; or it is four and onethird times greater than the average of these eight Southern
States.
It is argued from this that banking capital in the

South should pay well. There are some fine towns on the
Southern Railway, it is stated, that now need a bankir g institution.
New manufacturing enterprises are being established, large forces of labor are being added to the producing capacity i f nearly every town, more business is being
done and more money is being handled than ever before.

Europe. It has, however, its social influence on the general
course of trade here, especially in the dry gooJs department.
Owing to the death of Queen Victoria in January last these
trades have suffered very severely throughout the year.
Practically all the light-colored materials usually so much

worn by ladies during the fashionable season have been
thrown upon the hands of drapers and other dry goods merchants. As the non-official mourning only lasts for three
weeks, coming at this season of the year the death of the
Empress will have hardly any effect on the dry goods trade.
The King, recognizing how severely the trades referred to have
already tuffered, has not ordered any general public mourning, mourning being confined to the Court and official circles.
Mourning or semi mourning, however, is generally
worn by both sexes at all gatherings that have any pretenIt has been noticed with
pleasure upon more than one occasion recently that the large
number of non-British visitors, especially those from your
side and from France, an immense number ot which are in
London at the present time, are paying us the compliment
of wearing slight mourning whenever they appear in places
of public resort.
Business upon the Stock Exchange remains as slack as
ever, and it is virtually impossible to place new issues of any
kind. Those which have come out not very numerous— are
in the hands of the underwriters or others responsible for
the issues, and they are in the unpleasant position of holding
large blocks of securities for which it is impossible to find a
buyer. O nr own Stock Exchange would be almost completely
idle were it not for the fact that your market affords support
to American securities whenever offered. The holidays, no
doubt, have some influence on the general dulness; but the
explanation which finds most favor in well-informed quarters
is a belief that the liquidation now in progress in Berlin may
afford opportunities of purchasing really first-class securities
somewhat below present prices.
The Board of trade returns for July show that our imports
equal in value 43 millions sterling, being an increase of 6 per
cent compared with July last year. The exports at 24J^ millions are virtually the same as 12 months ago.
Our large indebtedness to you is still the feature of our Board of Trade
returcs; but to some extent, possibly to a larger extent than
is generally believed, this is offset by the very heavy purchases of American securities from Europe and the various
deals which have recently taken place in connection with the
visit of Mr. Morgan and other eminent financiers.
The India Council is very much pleased with itself, but
the market is by no means so well pleased with it. I mean
of course by the market the exchange banks and AngloIndian houses who have to remit to the principal centres in
India. The Council made up its mind a while ago to decline the sale of its drafts below Is. 3 29-33d. per rupee. At
the time it was selling some 30 or 40 lacs of rupees a
week, and for these there was a very good demand. The
market, however, refused to pay more than Is. 3%$. per
rupee. The Council then reduced the amount offered for

STREET. ERIDAY. AU«J. VJ3. 1001.-5 P. M.
The Money Market and Financial Situation.— The se-

em ity

markets are slowly but steadily recovering from
the depression oaused by damaged crops in the Southwest
and the steel workers* strike. As to the latter, there are
renewed evidences this week that it is becoming a "lost
cause." More of the closed plants have been put in operation and there are rumors that the Joliet men, whose action
a week ago caused some apprehension, will soon return to
their work.
The volume of Stock Exchange business is small, relatively smaller than usual at this season, but new and more
favorable developments are superseding the gloomy out look of
a month ago, and sentiment in Wall Street to-day is decidedThis sentiment is contributed to by favorable
ly hopeful.
railway traffic reports, by the certainty of an enormous
wheat crop with an active for-ign demand for it, and by the
easy condition of the foreign exchange and money markets.
In a few cases special causes have resulted in higher prices,
the most notable of which is that of the anthracite coal
stocks a practical illustration of the advantage of "harmony of interests."

—

As noted above, the money market is easy under an
abundant supply of funds, and rates, especially for demand
loans, continue low.
The open market rates for call loans on the Stock Exchange
during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged
from 2 to 8 per cent. To-day's rates on call were 2J4 to 3 per
cent. Prime commercial paper quoted at 4V£ to 5 per cent.
Tne Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed an increase in bullion of £1,350,655 and the percentage of reserve to liabilities was 51*97, against 50 93 last
week; the discount rate remains unchanged at 3 per cent.
The Bank of France shows a decrease of 1,675,000 francs
in gold and an increase of 1,850,000 francs in silver.
The New York City Clearing- House banks in their statement of Aug. 17 showed a decrease in the rpserve held of
$2,719,000, and a surplus over the required reserve of
$18,4 '1,900, against $2(',952.950 the previous week.

Buffalo & Susquehanna RR.
(Preliminary statement for year ended June 30, 1901. J
The coal properties, newly constructed mileage and new
equipment paid for by a part of the proceeds of recent bond
sales were acquired too late in the last fiscal year to contribute anything to earnings.
Attention is called by the
financial agents, Fisk & Robinson, to the company's "strong
cash condition," viz., working assets, $475,303; unexpended
proceeds of bond sales, $525,000; total, $1,000,303.

There has been some talk of having a receiver appointed for the New
York & North Shore Co., the consolidated company, as a method of
placing the constituent companies where they were before the merger,
but some of the Interests make objeotion to receivership proceedings,
inasmuch as the company is declared to be entirely free from indebtedness outside of its mortgage bonds.
Charles A. Porter, of Philadelphia, who has been President of the
New York <& North Shore Co.. is the principal owner of the Long Island
Electric Railway, and he will continue at the head of the latter company, while Jacob R Beetem, formerly of the Union Traction Co.,
Philadelphia, now Vice-President of the New York & North Shore Co.,
will probably continue in charge of the latter road. President Porter
informs us that the Long Island Company last year paid its fixed
charges, and the earnings for July, he says, showed an increase over
the corresponding month last year. He adds: "The principal reason
the consolidation is to be terminated is that the New York & North
Shore interests were not able, through circumstances that arose, to
build more than 6 miles of the 30 miles of new road whloh it was
agreed at the time of the consolidation would be constructed."

In reply to oertaln crltlolsms which have been made with respeot to
the payment of a portion of our large dividends out of surplus, I oan
only say that the directors have acted for the best interests of the
company and the stockholders as a whole. In t lew of the high price of
copper It was considered advisable to distribute a portion of the surplus cash In dividends— the accumulations ot a number of years.
There was do reason to expect a continuance of the large dividends
paid when this surplus distribution was taJdcg place.
Owing to the disturbed oondltion of the iron industry, it has been impossible to get a slDgle pound of structural material for the equipment
of our amygdaloid mine. We cannot run the Immense plant which we
have laid out until the entire work is completed, and it may take two
years more before this is accomplished. The work of opening our
amygdaloid shafts has necessitated the expenditure of an immense
Bum of money, as has the building of a new stamp mill, and the purchase of large timber supplies, all of which has been charged to operating expenses. The loss by reason of the Are was very considerable. All
of this was in addition to the expenditure of large sums of money at
the smelting works for iini>rovcmeuts. These expenditures have given
rise to the false report thit we were placed In a very uncomfortable
position. All I can say in explanation Is that we have had in miud
solely the iuture welfare of the stockholders' interests.— V. 73, p. 235.

This company, which was organized in 1897 with

out of existence, is again offering stock lor subscription. The
project consists in perching each of the drivers of a kcouiotivo on two friction wheels, which in turn communicate
motion to three wheels running on the track. The "Uailruad
Gazette" in its issue of April 9, 1807, said:
Now, every mechanical engineer knows that this whole proposition
is a mechanical absurdity.

crease of 1*64 per cent, or 72,H78 tons as compared with the
previous year.
The coke tonnage ecpualed 1,674,331 tons, an increase of
92,810 tons, or 5 87 per cent over the previous year.
The coal tonnage of the Company amounted to over 47
per cent of the total tonnage handled.
An almost total suspensi n of business in the anthracite
coal region in the months of September and October, due to
the strike of the miners, affected unfavorably the volume
of bosines as well as its cost, while the better prices obtained after the resumption of work served in a slight
measure to recoup the loss of earnings. The diversion of
traffic from the months in which it is usually handled resulted in crowding it to later months when weather conditions and a more congested traffic rendered impossible so
economical a working as heretofore; especially is this reflected in the train load, which, owing to these causes, was
unfavorably affected during months that usually produce
excellent results.

Including the results of the water lines, taxes,
and the betterments and additions charged in operating
expenses, the ratio was 72-65 per cent for the year, a deof

crease of 1*64 per cent.

MERCHANDISE FREIGHT.

The merchandise freight transported by the Company for
thetwelve months amounted to 13,725,395 tons, a decrease
of 521,241 tons, or 3 6fc' per cent, as compared with the previous year. The greater portion of this decrease was on the
lines between Chicago and Marion Junction and east of
Salamanca, those portions which can be and are most
cheaply operated, there being an increase in tonnage on the
Nypano, where, by reason of physical location, the traffic
cannot be as economically or efficiently transported.
The number of tons carried one mile amounted to 3,150,581.872, as compared with 3,250,789,754 last year, a decrease
-

of 3-35 per cent, or 109,207,882 ton miles.
The total revenue received frem the transportation of
merchand se freight amounted to $20,247,910 35, an increase
of $95,147 91, or 0-47 per cent as compared with the last year,
the revenue of which was $20,15?, 762 44.
The average rate received per ton per mile was 6'43 mills,
as compared with 6-18 mills for the previous year, an increase of 0-25 mills, or 4-05 per cent.
The average haul increased from 22883 miles to 229-54,
an increase of 72 miles or 31 percent.
The falling off in tonnage was due to the short period of
-

-

general business depression which existed during the first
part of the fiscal year, but this loss of revenue was more
than made up by the increase in the average rate per ton
per mile and the slightly greater haul. The average revenue
per ton per mile blso indicates the greater stability of rates
which existed during the larger part of the year.
Coal.

The total coal tonnage transported for the year amounted
to 12,274,207 tons, a decrease of 3-36 per cent, or 427,019 tons
as compared with the year 1900.
The tons carried one mile also decreased to the extent of
3*12 per cent, or 59,166,105 ton miles, being 1,839, 01 0,116 ton

The prosperous condition of the country during the greater
portion of the year insured a greater stability of freight
rates, giving the Company proportionate ly better compensation for the work done and which more than made good the
decrease in 'he volume of tonnage handled.
In addition to the above tonnage, company's freight
amounting to 3,230,028 tons was transported, making the
grand total of tonnage handled 29.229,630 tons.
In transporting this total tonnage, 13,300,036 train miles
were run, a decrease as compared with the previous year of
4-85, per cent,
eing 678,098 train miles, the freight tonnage
decreasing 3*84 per cent.
The revenue per freight train mile was 82 20 as compared
with $3 06 the previous year, an increase of 14 cents, or 6*76
percent. The average train load of revenue freight was
375-16 tons, an increase of 6 16 tom>, or 167 per cent.
Including the Company's freight, the average train load was
400-22 tons, as against 392*32 tons last year, an increase of
nearly eight tons or a little over 2 per cent. The average
number of tons of freight in each loaded car increased from
16-73 tons to 16-89 tons, an increase of 0-16 tons or 0*i»L> pi v
cent.
Including the Company's freight, the average earload on the system was 1802 tons, an increase of 023 tons
compared with the previous year.

therefore one year behind. This year the coal accounts for
the twelve months ending June 30, 1901, have been closed

and 24th streets, on the North I.'iver. in New York City,
t

lately projected and adopted and since parti; completed by
the Department of Decks of the City, will practical] y destroy the local freight yard and station of the Erie Railroad

located between 22d and 23d streets and 1th and
13th avenues, which has been used under various leases by
the Company for the last fourteen years, and which was the
first yard of the kind established" in New York City by a
railroad c mpany having its terminus on the New Jersey
Shore.
Efforts to induce the Department to modify its plans so as
to save the property, and ah attempts made by the railroad
company to induce the owners of the ground to assist in the
efforts by renewing to the railroad company the expiring
leases having failed, the property will be surrendered next
year.
To protect the Company's interest and in order to maintain its position as a freight carrier on a parity with its
rivals, a new site for a freight yard, where carload lots of
perishable goods can be promply delivered, has fortunately
been secured between 28th and 29th Streets and between
13th and 11th Avenues. The entire southern half of that
block. 100 feet by 736 feet, has b< en bought in fee simple,
and the largest part of the northern half, fronting on the
river, has been leased for terms varying from forty to sixty
ye ars. and the balance of ihe block, 100 feet by 360 feet, will
be added to the se leaseholds withia a few months. When
this property is improved with approaches and transfer
bridges, with tracks, driveways, etc., its business capacity

Street, and its location will be no less convenient to the

Company

Company's customers.
Shortly after the purchase by the Erie Railroad Company
of the coal properties of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, it
became more necessary than ever, in order to accommodate
a fluctuating demand and to maintain a more uniform
movement of the tiaffic, to establish somewhere near tide
water and within easy reach of industries consuming large
quantities of coal, a storage plant for anthracite coal.
Thirty three acres of land have been purchased for that
purpose on the line of the New York Susquehanna
West-

&

ern Railroad near Rochelle Park, and near its junction with
the Bergen County Railroad, nine miles from the tidewater
coal docks.
Contracts have been made for a plant capable of storing
150,000 tons, with the necessary machinery to convey from
cars to storage 3,600 toLS per day. and to re-load from the
storage piles to cars an equal amount. It is estimated that
the whole plant, including grading, tracks and drainage,
will cost $228,900 00, and that it will be finished early next
winter.
The anthracite coal transfer and storage plant at Hammond, mar Chicago, was completed last winter, and the
result of its opeiation fully justifies the investment. System
cars which heretofore were Vadly delayed are now promptly
released and utilized for east-bound loading. The plant was
soon found, however, to be inadequate in its storage capacity for the increasing demand made upon it, and contracts
have therefore been made for the construction of a duplicate plant, which it is expected to have in operation in the
early Fall. The cost is estimated at $700,000.
Extensive surveys have been made during the past year
to determine definitely the best plans to be adopted for the
reduction of the many heavy grades still remaining in the
roadbed of the main line between Chicago and Jersey City,
and to ascertain as closely as possible the actual cost ot
doing such work, so that a correct estimate can be made
whether the traffic of the road, making a liberal allowance
for future increases, would warrant the expenses involved,
and finally increase the net revenues.
The principal studies were made on the Ohio Division between Meadville and Ontauo, 174 miles, and on the New
York Division between Turners and Goshen, 13 miles, where
the most serious physical obstacles now exist for the economical operation of a railroad.
The results obtained from
these explorations and the actual experience gained from
the detached improvements made in former years undoubtedly prove that the cost of transportation on the Erie Railroad can be reduced and its capacity for larger traffic can
be sufficiently increased to justify a large and liberal expenditure for grade reductions.
After a favorable decision of the Supreme Court of New
York, in April, in the litigations that have arisen regarding
the construction of the Goshen cut-off, contracts were at
once made for the execution of the work, and it was 1 oped
to have that important improvement finished early this Fall.
The decision, however, was reversed by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, and the work has again been
suspended awaitu g a final determination by the Court of
Appeals, to which Court an appeal has been taken.

By an agreement made between the Erie Railroad Company ami the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago <Sc St. Louis
Railroad Company last dune, the tvo single main tracks of
the two companies between Gallon and Marion. Ohio, runnil ^ parallel wit h each ot her. are row operate d at B doubletraek railroad with equal rights to each company, thereby
greatly increasing tbe carrying capacity and the safety of
operation of both railroads, and materially decreasing the
transportation expenses by giving to each company twenty
miles of double track without additional increase of capital
or expense to eil her.
To meet the constant demand for more local freight yard
room, especially at the larger cities on the line of the road,
properties have been bought at Paterson, Bamseys, Bfahwah
and Englewood X. J., .Jamestown and Middletown, N. Y.
No v ork w as done during the year on the Pen Horn Creek
Railrrad. The possibility in the near future jf the construction of bridges or tunnels across the North River to
carry at least some of tbe necessary trains now terminating
at Jersey City directly to a station in New York, and thereby relieve the present crowded condition of the Bergen
unnel. justifies more careful consideration and possibly a
postponement of the construction of that railroad.
On account of tbe number of heavy Consolidation engines recently bought, and the desirability to run these
locomotives over any part of the Erie System, the renewal
of bridges has been continued at a rate sufficiently rapid to
meet the necessities. In addition to those renewed this
year and heretofore mentioned, forty-one bridges are now
under construction and will probably be in place before
next winter. Most of these bridges are short spans and inexpensive, but their renewal became necessary on account of
the constantly increasing loads carried on locomotives as
well as on rolling stock.
A supplementary contract has just been made with the
G ade Crossing Commissioners of Buffalo, N. Y., for the
construction of a viaduct on the lines of Louisiana Street
over the tracks of the Erie Railroad, and it is the intention
of the Commissioners to make contracts for the execution
of this work at once.
There will then remain only two
other streets to be treated under the original contract of
1896 Van Rensselaer and William streets; the one will
have a viaduct ever the main line and the other a subway
under the Niagara Falls branch. All the work will be completed within two years.
A coaling station for fueling locomotives, together with
an ash-handling plant, have been erected at Port Jervis, at
a total cost of $86,420 93, of which $84,087 00 was charged to
Operating Expenses. The balance, being the cost of additional land, was charged to Construction Account.
By the use of these improved facilities a saving in labor is
effected amounting to 86,120 per annum, and the cost of
handling coal reduced by 5 cents per ton.
A similar plant is in course of construction at Hornellsville, and $15,795 66 of the cost thereof has been charged to
this year's operating expenses.
To provide for the business of the American Steel and
Wire Company at Newburg, Ohio, the location of the main
tracks was changed, greatly improving the alignment, and
six thousand feet of additional sidings constructed.
For the accommodation of the passenger business to the
Pan American Exposition at Buffalo, arrangements were
made with the New York Central Railroad Company, whereby
this Company ry the payment of one-fourth of the cost, acquired the use of its station facilities established near the

An opportunity having been presented to your Board to
secure an interest in the stock of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, and believing that it would promote generally a better understanding and greater harmony between
the managements of the two companies as well as ultimately return a prorit upon the investment, it was deemed
wise to make such purchase. The Board is confident that
this action will result in material advantage to the Erie

Company.
In order to protect the Company's coal tonnage, and fcr
other reasons wl.ich seem good, your Board felt justified n
purchasing the entire capital stock of the Pennsylvania

&

Ohio Railroad Company. As
this was the last of the Companies operated upon a percent
r
age o its gross earnings, which, like all other similar leases,
proved unsatisfactory, your Board deemed it wise to secure
the cancellation of this lease. To accomplish this end, the
Pennsylvania

entire capital stock of the Newcastle & Shenango ValleyRailroad Company was purchased and sold to the Sharon
Railway, with which the New Ca-tle Road makes connection, and the two companies were then consolidated into
the Sharon Railway Company, from which a lease was
taken by this Company of the consolidated line upon a
guaranty o r the fixed charges and the usual dividend on
the capital stock. This arrangement eliminated another
one of the company's subordinate corporations and placed
the lease of t lie Sharon property upon a more desirable
basis.
All of these proceedings were duly approved at your
meeting held on the '6 1st day of December, 1900.
The operations of the New Jersey & New York Railroad
for the year are not included in this report, but they have
been quite satisfactory and that property is more than taking
care of itself.
The Company's operations for the year are shown in detail
by the tables in the pamphlet report.
The cost of operation has been unfavorably affected by the
increased prices of fuel, ties and other supplies, the increase
in the first two items alone having amounted to $235,619 98.
In view of the deficiency of the original capital fund of
the reorganized company, and to avoid the sale of its
securities at prices greatly below their value, the Companyhas been compelled since the reorganization to use its net
earnings to a considerable extent for improvements by
charging the cost thereof to Operating Expenses. During
the fiscal year 1901 $1,153,540 3D, and during the year 19
$1,177,039 95, has thus been expended for improvements, of
which the cost was charged to Operating Expenses in the

Among other changes made, the number of the Board of

Oalveston

Speculation in cotton for future delivery has been on a
more extensive scale. Sentiment has appeared to be
growing more generally bullish, based on the character of
the crop news that has been coming to hand. It is now
generally conceded that considerable damage has been done
to the crop in Central Texas by the drought.
The reports
received from many sections ea3t of the Mississippi also have
advised the outlook for the crop as not satisfactory, the result of excessive rainfalls.
The principal factor against
the market
the condition of
has been
business in
the cotton goods trades. The reports received from abroad,
particularly the Continent, have continued of an unsatisfactory condition of trade, and in the domestic market business
has been running behind general expectations. At the close
of the week the developments on the Liverpool speculative
market caused something of a sensation. Prices for the
near-by deliveries made an unusually sharp advance based
on the strength of the statistical position, particularly of the
better grades of cotton, and apprehension of a squeeze before
the end of the present season. To-day there was a fairly
active and higher market. Local shorts, Liverpool and the
South bought, advancing prices rather sharply, although
there was considerable selling by recent buyers to realize
profits.
The close was steady at a net gain for the day of 8
@11 points. Cotton on the spot has been firmer, closing at
8%c. for middling uplands.
i'ne rates on and on* middling, as established Nov. 21, 1900,
by the Revision Committee, at which grades other than
middling may be delivered on oontract, are as follows.

23. 1901.

Business for the week in the market for wheat flour has
been quiet. Buyers generally have been very conservative
in their operations, and with the easier turn to values for the
grain, holders of flour have weakened slightly in their views.
Offerings of new winter-wheat flour have been increasing,
and a few samples of new-crop spring-wheat flour have been
shown. City mills have been quiet. Rye flour has been
The demand for corn meal has continued limited, but
dull.
prices have held steady.
Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been fairly
active, but the trend of prices for the week has been towards
a lower basis. The most pronounced weakness shown by the
market was on Tuesday. The European cable advices were
disappointing, prices in European markets showing a tendency to sag. The export business and the large export clearances, which latterly have been important bull factors, were
falling off, and this operated against the market. Other
bearish factors were a reported official estimate of the Manitoba crop of 48,857,000 bushels and the Northwest Territory
of 10,000,000 bushels, a total of 58,857,000 bushels, against
30,207,000 bushels last year. The spring-wheat crop is beginning to move with some freedom, receipts at Minneapolis

running fairly heavy, and the Northwestern markets showed
an easier undertone. The movement of the winter wheat
crop, however, has continued only moderate. The spot market has been easier, following the decline in futures. Only a
moderate amount of export business has been reported transacted, as shippers have been less free buyers. To-day there
was a lower market under tame foreign advices, favorable
weather conditions and speculative holders liquidating. The
spot market was moderately active at lower prices. The
sales for export here and at outports were 220,00i) bushels.

Indian corn futures have received a moderate amount of
attention, but there has been a gradual sagging of values.

some of the large speculative holders have been gradually

Government Weekly Grain Report.— Mr. James Berry,
of the Climate and Crop Division of the LT. S.
Weather Bureau, made public on Tuesday the telegraphic,
reports on the grain crops in the various States for the week
ending August 19 as follows:

Chief

Weather. -The temperature conditions of the week have been
favorable, except on the North Pacific coast, where it has been excessively warm. The Middle and South Atlantic and East Gulf States,
including Tennessee, have suffered from heavy rains, the South Atlanta and East Gulf States and Tennessee experiencing damaging
winds as well ae injury from overflows. The greater part of Texas
and portions of the Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys, and upper
Lake region oontinue to suffer from drought, and drought Is beginning to affect crops in Oregon and Washington. The Rocky Mountain
region and California have had an exceptionally favorable week.
Corn.—A very general improvement in the condition of late com is
indicated in the principal corn States. In Iowa the crop is materially
improved and more promising than was deemed possible August 1,
but the yield is still contingent upon additional moisture very soon,
and the absence of frosts the greater part of September. Late corn
has improved in extreme Southeastern Nebraska, but oontinues to
suffer for rain in central and northern counties. In the eastern and
western portions of Kansas late corn Ismuch improved, but in the central counties rain came too late to save the crop. In some portions
of Missouri late corn is progressing well, but in most seotions It is
suffering for rain. Good rains in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio have improved the outlook, especially ia Indiana, but. as in other portions of
the corn belt, the greater part of the early corn has been ruined. The
propitious outlook for oorn in the Middle Atlantic States and New

England oontinues.
Spring Wheat.— The weather has been favorable

for spring- wheat
Harvesting is nearly finished in the Dakotas,
Minnesota and Oregon, and is in progress in Washington, where, owing
to exoessive heat, the grain has .ripened somewhat too rapidly. In
North Dakota, owing to shrunken berry and poorly filled headi, the
yield of spring wheat is proving disappointing.
The movement of breadstuff s to market as indicated in the
statements below is prepared by us from figures collected
by the New York Produce Exchange. The receipts at
Western lake and river ports for the week ending Aug. 17,
and sinoe Aug. 1, for eaoh of the last three years have been:

The value of the New York exports for the year to date
has been $7,558,185 in 1901, against $10,367,158 in 1900.
Woolen Goods. The chief feature of the market for
men's-wear woolens and worsteds has been the well-sustained
demand for staple lines in light-weights for spring. Buyers
have in some instances bought liberal quantities of these,
and the general demand hasbten good. There have been no
advances openly quoted this week to follow the upward
movement in American staples last week, but the tendency
is more or less against buyers in leading lines of claye,
sergts and cheviots. While staples are doing well, there is
more or less irregularity in fancy lines. The best business
in these has been in medium-priced soft finished goods, the
demand for the higher priced hard finishes being irregular.
There has been no change in the market for overcoatings or
cloakings. Woolen and worsted dress goods continue quiet.
Flannels and blankets dull.
Foreign Dry Goods.—There has been a quiet demand at
firm prices for fine grades of woolen and worsted dress goods.
Silks and ribbons are quiet but firm. Linens also firm with
fair demand.
Burlaps dull and tending downward.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
New

York, Friday, P. M„ Aug. 23. 1901.
There has been some improvement in the volume of business done in the primary market this week, but it has not
come up to the expectations of sellers and the fact must be
accepted that buyers are still generally in a conservative
mood. The home trade demand has been for immediate
requirements only in so far as staple lines of cotton goods are
concerned, there being very little disposition to anticipate
needs in these. The best business on the part of home buyers
has been in the fine grades of fancies on the market for next
spring. In the latter business has been good and in somewhat singular contrast to other divisions of the market. The
indifferent business in most lines has been offset to some extent in effect by the firmer market for raw cotton and prices
remain unchanged with the exception of an unexpected advance of ^c. in leading lines of indigo blue prints. Business
with jobbers is steadily increasing in various lines of fall
merchandise.
In brown sheetings and drills the chief feature has again
been the demand for light-weight goods for China, even
though it has been less pressing than last week. Sheetings
lighter than 3'25 yards are firm.
Heavier weights are irregular, being in slack demand on both home and export ac-
