Virginia.—'The accumulated arrearages of interest on the debt proper,
October 1, 1881, were $3,565,331. The law of March 28. 1879. for
refunding the debt,, was given in Chronicle, Vol. 28, p. 353. The new
bonds are 10-40 jrear bonds, and bear 3 per cent for 10 years, 4 per oent
for 20 years, and 5 per cent for 10 years, coupons tax-receivable.
In February, 1882, the Riddleberger law for readjusting the debt an*l
the laws known as “Coupon killers” Nos. 1 and 2, were passed, (see V.
34, p. 88). The Supreme Court of the.U. S. held (V. 36, p. 285) that the
law requiring the validity of the coupons to be established before a
State court did not impair the contract making them receivable for
taxes, and was therefore constitutional, but the case is to be reopened

in same court on appeal.
Assessed values in 1880

were; real estate, $234,272,951;
personal,
$70,391,018. The receipts of the State Treasury in 1880-81 were

& Erie hold $5,408,000, the interest on which is
paid altogether in
bond scrip; the bonds held by individuals are paid in cash and

the same as the 25 per cent from the At. Top. A S. Fe and the St Loan
A San Fran, companies. The land grant claimed under the old Atlantic
A Pacific charter of July, 1866, is 25,600 acres per mile in Territories
and 12,800 acres in States. The total land grant on the whole road, if
constructed as under the charter, would be 42,0n0.000 acres. The pro¬
ceeds of sales of the company’s lands are to be lodged with the trustee,
under the mortgage, and are applicable to the purchase an-l cancella¬
tion of the first mortgage bonds whenever they can bo obtained by
public advertisement at not .exceeding 110 and interest. The bonds
are not subject, otherwise, to be drawn or paid before maturity.

The Baltimore

Branch are secured by deposit of mortgage on

on

Parkersburg

that road. The sterltng
mortgage of 1883 is made to William F. Burns, John Gregg and T. Har¬
rison Garrett, trustees. The issue of bonds is for the purpose of con¬
structing a lateral road from a point on its main line from near Balti¬
more City to a point on the northern bouudary of Cecil County, \fd„ to
be known as the Philadelphia branch of the Balt. A Ohio RR. It will
connect with the Baltimore xfc Philadelphia Railroad now being built
through the State of Delaware, by way of Wilmington, and through the
State of Pennsylvania to Philadelphia.
An abstract of the last annual report is given in the Chroniclk, Vol.
35, p. 600, and contains the following remarks: “ It is shown by the
report of the Transportation Department that the tonnage of through
merchandise east and west has been 2,013,227 tons, whilst in the pre¬
ceding year it was 2.014,110 tons, and 1.980,397 tons in 1890. and L,425,629 tons in 1879. 607,038 barrels of flour and 8.313,240 bushels of grain
were brought, to Baltimore during the fiscal year.
Of this aggregate of
grain 6,586,814 bushels were of wheat and 591,719 bushels were of
corn. The large falling off in the transportation of grain as compared with
the preceding year arose from the general deficiency in the erops of
the country, and from the operations of speculators, whieh caused the
prices to advance to such figures as largely reduced the exports from
the United States to Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, the

Netherlands, Ao., and caused all countries consuming grain to seek it
elsewhere.
“The coal trade of the Main Stem shows an aggregate of 2,521,226'
tons, which includes 386.626 tons for the company’s supply. The ag¬
gregate of coal and coke transported, including all divisions, was 5,
647.016 tons, showing an increase for the year of 1.107,389 tons.” The
profit and loss account showed an increase for the year of $1,649,978,
against $1,697,038 in 1890-81. It will be seen by this account that the
nominal surplus fund, which represents invested capital derived from
net earnings, and which is not represented by either stock or bonds,
amounts to $ 13,907,658.
%
The gross and net earnings of the main stem and its branches and of
the other divisions, for the last fiscal year, as compared with 1880-81,
were as

The Milwaukee A St. Paul Railroad Company was organized May 5,
1863, and embraced .a number of other companies, including the Milwau
koe A .-Mississippi, the Prairie du Chien, the Lacrosse A Milwaukee, and
otmvs. The Milwaukee A St. Paul afterward purchased the St. Paul A
Chicago Road and others, and built the line from Milwaukee to Chicago,
and on February 11, 1874, the company took its present name. The
Western Union Railroad was leased in 1879 for 999 years, and the bonds
were ret ired by the issue of the Chic. Mil. A St. Paul bonds secured by
mortgage on that road. Of the consol, mort. bonds of 1875, enough are
reserved to take, up the prior bonds. The latter had a sinking fund of
1 per cent per annum, but holders may have their bonds stamped and
discharged from the operation of the sinking fund. In June, 1882, a
further issue of 20 per cent in stock was voted, of which 10 per cent
was issued as a dividend to stockholders of record Sept. 15. 1882, and
10 per cent was sold to them at par.
The preference of t he preferred stock is a prior right to a non-cumulafive dividend of not exceeding 7 per cent from net earnings (except that
$250,000 above interest on bonds may be reserved as a working capital,
before payment of the dividend.)
After payment of 7 on preferred ana
7 on common, both classes share pro rata. Prices of stock of the Chicago
Milwaukee A St. Paul have been:

The trust deed of the consolidated mortgage is to Louis IT. Meyer and
John A. Stewart, of Now York, as trustees. The deed is to secure and

prior issues, and the balance issued for the purpose of building and
completing the extensions, and the bonds were issued at $15,000 per

Division bonds held by trustees of the Colorado Coal A Iron Co.
The annual report for 183 l in the Chhonicle, V. 36, p. 4,7, gives par¬
ticulars of the financial condition. Ac. Too report of Mr. Palmer, Presi¬
dent, had the following remarks :
“The operating exp ms -s were 59-66 per cent of the gross receipts, but
this included the reimildmg.of eigiity-ono car * (at a cost of over $50 000),
which had been destroyed during this and previous years, as also the
substitution of steel for iron mils on forty miles of road south of
,

Pueblo.” * * *
••8 nee the (lute of last report, your company has leased the road of
the. Denver Si Rio Grande Western Railroad Company for a term of
thirty years. The terms of the .lease are, that your company p iy the
lessor co npany 40 percent of the gross receipts of the leassd line, if
that sum is siifiicicnt to pay the interest on its bonds.
If not sufficient
to pay the interest, then your company guarantees payment of a sum

equal t<> six per cent on $16,0 >0 per mile of finished ro i l which has been
transferred to and accepted by your company for operation. Tne maxi¬
mum amount of bonds guaranteed by the lease is $7,50 j,000 at 6 per

cent.” * *
*
-The amount of interest for which your company will be responsible
under the lease when the line reaches Og len will be about $400,000
It is not
per annum, which would require $1,090,090 gross earnings.

unreasonable to expect from the business done during the past five
months on 155 miles of detached line that the gross earnings of the
whole line when put in operation will reach at least $1,500,000 per
allium.

of land per mile, and by building east of Fort Worth earned 4,666,845
acres (yet unsold), on which the income bonds are a lien, as also a 3d
mortgage on the road east of Fort Worth. The railroad lands in Texas,
however, do not lie adjacent to the line of the roads owning them, and
these are located in part in counties along the Rio Gramle division.
The R. G. Div. bonds were a mortgage on the lands earned by building
that division, which would have amounted to about 5,375,000 acres if

located.
Tlie interest scrip is payable only

in stock or in land and interest at 7
per cent is allowed on it only when turned in in payment' for land.
The report lor 13 months ending June 30,1882, was in the Chronicle,
V. 35. p. 319, which should be referred to; the earnings were only made
on tlie eastern division, and amounted to $3,438,978
gross and $809,125 net.

earnings in 1882, $5,919,732 ; net, $1,343,291, (V. 33, p. 48, 102, 117,

June, 1883. In November, 1882, tbe company needed funds, and a plan
was made in Boston to raise
$800,000 by subscription of parties inter
ested, they taking 8 per cent debenture bonds as security. The interest
coupons due in 1883 and 1884 on the first
mortgage bonds, in April,
1883, were being funded into 6 per cent scrip due Oct., 1891. It was
proposed to exchange all income bonds for preferred stock, in shares
of $50 each, and a considerable amount was so
exchanged. In July,
1883, Mr. E. E. Dwight was appointed receiver, the company being
embarrassed. (V. 35, p. 162, 267. 313. 339,

In April, 18 -<3, the Wabash St. Louis A Pacific was leased for 99 years
to the St. Louis A Iron Mountain (and thus to the Missouri Pacific), on
the genei’rti basis of paying over to the Wabash its net earnings each

Grand t< tal

year. The St. Louis A I. Mt. also guarantees the collateral trust bonds.
Tne annual report for 1882 was published in the Chronicle, V. 36, p.
338, and the following iH an extract: “ The net result of the year was
a deficit of $583,022 below the amount required for interest, rentals
and charges of every kind, which, with the deficit of 1881, makes a
total deficit in profit and loss account of $2,035,880. Tho main report
is by Mr. A. L. Hopkins,.Vice-President, and he gives a plain, intelligent
and candid statement of the affairs of the company. He says: ‘ The
net earnings show an increase of $1,512,092 over those of the year 1881,
with an increase of 622 miles in the average length of road operated.
Notwithstanding this gain in the profits of our lines, the interest charges
and rentals have increased in a larger ratio, and the consequence ofrtnis
disproportion is a less satisfactory statement than we had anticipated.
At the date of our last annual report, Deo. 31,1881, the total length of
road operated was 3,343 miles, while at the close of 1882 it was 3,518
miles, an increase of 170 miles during the year. In point of fact this
additional mileage, consisting mainly of the St. Louis Jerseyville <fc

Springfield, the Lies Moines A St. Louis, and the extension north of Des
Moines, Iowa, was not operated until late in the year, and the lines
referred to can hardly bo said, even now, to be fairly under way. The
operations of the road have therefore been, practically, upon the 3,348
miles stated at the close of 1881/
“

*

*

During the year the sum of $3,044,012 has been expended for new

construction. Embraced in this charge is
St. Charles bridge over the Missouri River;

the sum of $377,827 for the
$461,500 towards the com¬
pletion of the Humestou & Sueuandoah Road, and $966,209| for car
trust and other rolling stock obligations.
These expenditures were ren¬
dered necessary in order to finish new lines commenced in the previous
year, but the requirements of the current year will be comparatively
small. The floating debt of the company is almost entirely the result of
these construction payments, but the company owns securities, consist¬
ing mainly of bonds and, stock, valued at $6,667,696, available for the
liquidation of the floating debt and future requirements.”

Trust
Co. of N.Y. and James Cheney
of Indiana. It provides for taking up all
the old bonds as they mature, or by exchange at
any time tlie holders offer
them, and reserves $33,000,900 for that purpose; and the bonds so taken
up are not canceled but remain in the hands of the trustees as the
prop¬
erty of the trust. The mortgage may be foreclosed after six mouths
default of interest, if a majority in value of all the bondholders so
request the trustees. First mortgage on 8t. Charles Bridge is for
$1,000,000, and is 6 per cent now, running absolutely till 1908.

exchangeable into the bonds. If not exchanged the certificates fall due
with the principal of the bonds from which
coupons were cut.
The old Toledo A Wabash equipment bonds of 1862
($600,000) were

yet in liiigation. The
collateral trust bonds of 1883 ($10,o00,000) were issued for
floating

organized as Toledo Peoria A Western. This company made a lease for
the term of its charter to the Wabash St. Louis. A Pacific on terms
as
follows, viz.: That the Wabash Pacific guarantee 7 per cent on the
$4,500,000 first mortgage bonds of the Toledo Peoria A Western.

receiving this amount in new stock of the Toledo Peoria A Western
stock. The Toledo Peoria A Western stock

The President's report for 1882 said:
“During ths
an opportu¬
nity occurred of purchasing a coal property known year
as the
Kentucky
Bank Lands, situated about five miles west
of Tamaqua.”
*
*
“ The
purchase covered 884 acres, whicn cost $222,089
60, about the amount
which our sinking fund receives in three and a half
years from a oharge
of ten cents per ton of coat mined.
By the operation of this charge the
valuation of our coal lands, which stood ou our books

been reduced, so that, including the Kent and
McIamiti purchase in 1874
of 175 acres, and the
Kentucky Bank Lands, and deducting 207 acres
as worked out, which is a full
allowance for the lands exhausted
by
mii ing iu the last ten
years,we had Jan. 1,1883, 8,053 acres of
equally
valuable laud charged at $5,8L6,058
22, or $722 per acre.
“In order to secure for the
Lehigh & Susquehanna Railroad the coal

tonnage from the Lehigh Luzerne Coal Company’s lands, which was
about to pass under the control of another
railroad
a loan of
$75,000 was made, secured by the transfer of elevencompany,
thousand shares of

stoc k, being 55 per cent of the total issue.
The loan is for three
years,
but the tonnage from these lands is
perpetually
bound by contract to
pass to market over our lines of railroad.”
*
*
*
“Daring the past
year the extended debenture loan of $106,190
76, the convertible de¬
benture loan of $41,550, and the Greenwood first
mortgage loan of
$140,060, amounting in all to $287,740 76, were paid
at maturity.
These payments, and the purchases and loans
above rocited, necessi¬
tated some increase of the
floating deb , which, after
assets, now amounts to about $1,000,000;

transportation of passengers and $506,367,247 for the transportation of freight, and $61,848,734 from miscellaneous sources.
