The full details of olearings for the week covered by the
above statement will be given next Saturday, We cannot,
of oourse, furnish them to-day, bank olearings being made
up by the various clearing houses at noon on Saturday, and
h9noe in the above the last twenty-four hours of the week
have to be in all oases estimated, as we go to press Friday night.
We present below our usual detailed figures for the pre
vious week, covering the returns for the period ending with
Saturday noon, Ang. 20, and the results for the corresponding
week in 1897,1896 and 1895 are also given. In comparison
with the preceding week, there is an increase in the
aggregate exchanges of seventy seven million dollars
bnt at New York alone the gain is nearly sixtyfive millions. Contrasted with the week of 1897 the
total for the whole country shows an addition of 21'3 per
cent. Compared with the week of 1886 the current returns
record a gain of 63’3 per cent, and the excess over 1895 is 46-2
per cent. Outside of New York the gain over 1897 is 8'9 per
oent. The excess over 1896 reaches 29 6 per cent, and making
comparison with 1395 the gain is seen to be 19'0 per cent.

THE

C H R O N IC L E .

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
August has furnished this year its usual assortment
o f crop trials. Starting with a very promising situa
tion everywhere, drought and rains, and even frost,
if we are to believe all the reports, are chargeable with
having done quite serious harm in mauy sections.
Very likely the month's reports of condition as given
out by the various authorities will show depreciation.
That is the ordinary outcome. But it should be re
membered that we never fail to have rain, generally
have drought, and not infrequently we have our tirst
frost in some sections of the country, in August.
These ills are almost always a part of the incidents of
the month, and we notice likewise that they are in
variably attendant upon a season when stock values
are rising. The two may or may not have any con
nection with one another; hut it is a wise rule for the
investor not to place unqualified dependence upon the
reports of damage received this month.
The legal battle which has been in progress the cur
rent week over the recent award of a little more than
12 million dollars of the city bonds has brought up
anew the question of giving bond sales a more demo
cratic, or as it is called “ popular,” character. What
is urged on the present occasion is not an arrange
ment after the fashion of the recent Government
issue; chat was an exceptional transaction, never
likely to be imitated by any city or State.
The
" popular" feature in the case consisted in selling
the bonds below their market value and so do
nating to the subscribers the several millions
of difference between the upset price and the actual
value. Such liberality on the part of the legislator is
only feasible where the taxation that results is indi
rect and so not felt by his constituency. The idea
now advanced contemplates the
adoption of
some plan for bond offerings that will enable the
moderate capitalist to secure a moderate amount of
bonds at any given sale, even though his richer neigh
bor who can command millions to secure the whole
issue may put in a bid that is more favorable to the
city than any aggregate of the smaller bids. Of
course, among moneyed men the large majority must
be classed with those having moderate means, and as
this system would likewise take care of the “ under
dog,” to adopt it would be, it is claimed, democratic,
-or “ popular.”
It will be observed, however, that this demand re
lates by no means to a matter at variance between the
rich and the poor. The really poor can be in no wise
interested in the success of the proposal, and hence
the complaint made and aim sought must fail to
arouse sympathy among the charitably disposed any
where. It is a contest wholly confined to the already
rich and to those more moderately circumstanced; it
is pressed by the latter, who, having already gotten
above their poorer neighbors, desire to gain other
advantages that they may rise higher and become
richer. The only concern the very poor and the
thrifty poor (many of the latter most likely possess
the fee to a little home) have in the bond
business is that the Government, or city or vil
lage, should get its money at the lowest pos
sible rate; in that result they have a deep con
cern, for their largest comfort lies in keeping the taxes
as small as the circumstances will allow. Neither can
any feeling of hostility to capital or to the large cap
italist, so often expressed by populists, have any part

[LXVII.

or influence in a contest between money kings and
would-be money kings.
The inling principle hereto
fore has been to accept the hid that promised to se
cure the money asked for at an average rate which
would prove most to the advantage of the city. That
object, honestly pursued, forecloses discriminations of
every kind either in favor of the rich or the less rich.
Under its operation a free field opened for compe
tition to the capital of the world, the bonds going to
the highest bidder or bidders, has come to be the re
quired condition and upshot of every satisfactory
arrangement.
Now it seems that this method, notwithstanding
its benefits to the city, is objected to because
it gives to the rich an advantage over the man of
moderate means. Very likely it does, but in no other
way than it gives to the man of moderate means an
advantage over his neighbor less favored in the m atter of wealth. This is one of the inequalities existing
in the world—one which we could not do away with
if we would, and would not if we could. We can
think of no world less attractive to live in than one
where every matt had equal endowments, every
individual possessed exactly ten talents, and where
no one knew more or had more than every
other man.
But, says the critic, even grant
ing this to he so, is it not just that we with
our one hundred thousand dollars should buy
our bonds as cheap as the more fortunately situated
man who is able to command millions ? Why, for
instance, should not we, moderate capitalists, secure
the one, two, or larger or smaller per cent advance
realized by the purchaser after the loan has been
awarded as well as the firm or man who is able to take
the whole issue ? Those questions admit of an easy
answer. Compressed into the briefest form, it is
that the very existence in the list of bidders of
men who
command the money markets of
the world is what makes the subsequent ad
vance.
The credit of the offered security has
been improved by reason of the number, wealth,
standing and general confidence felt in the judg
ment of the firms and individuals who have competed
for or have underwritten the loan. Furthermore, it
is this free market and the opportunities and induce
ments thus held out to moneyed men that hasled to this
concentration of capital within the market seeking
such investments, and lias consequently led to a maxi
mum supply of loanable funds and ■to most active
competition for bonds— the conditions which are need
ful for highest bids at any offering. Legislation con
trived so as to deprive large capital of its natural ad
vantages would, if successful, reverse these conditions
and take away the benefits to city, State or Govern
ment now enjoyed.
We last week noted the arrival of $850,000 gold in
transit for Cuba. A feature this week has been a
further receipt of $441,793 gold from Europe, also in
transit for Cuba, and the engagement of 1500,000
French gold in London for shipment to the same place.
This movement is indicative of the renewed trade
conditions that have become active since the taking
of Santiago and the lifting of the blockade. An ex
planation with reference to the shipment cited of
French gold was given by cable on Wednesday, the
statement being that there is no more Span
ish gold available on the Continent, while the
Bank of England parted with its entire stock of
Alfonsos some weeks ago. Shippers now want Na-

poleons, as the Cubans do not favor the other 30-franc
pieces; at the same time they favor French gold, as
the francs more nearly correspond with the multiples
of the peseta. It is quite possible that this movement
from Paris is influenced in some measure by the de
rangement of Cuban currency caused by the decree of
the American Military Governor at Santiago fixing the
value of the centen at five dollars. W hen this coin
was sent to Cuba its value was fixed at s>5 30, to pre
vent its export. It seems not unlikely that the new
value will lead to its export, as its valuation by our
mint is $5 02. An Associated Press dispatch esti
mates that there are between fifteen and twenty mil
lion centen in circulation in Cuba.
The Chicago Great Western Railway report, issued
this week, attracts attention not only by reason of the
favorable income showing made, but also by reason of
the excellent operating results disclosed. The im
provement over the year preceding has been note
worthy in both gross and n e t; in the gross the addi
tion is $705,184, or over 15 per cent; in the net
$335,399, or over 30 per cent. Moreover, gross as well
as net is decidedly the best in the history of the
company. The effect of the improvement is re
flected in an income statement which must be
very gratifying to the company's shareholders. In
brief, after providing for all fixed charges and allowing
in full for the 4 per cent dividends on the debenture
stock (both that on which dividends are payable in
stock as well as that requiring payment in cash) there
remains a surplus balance on the operations of the
twelve months of nearly a quarter of a million dollars
—$242,434. The latter sum i3 equal to 3 per cent on
the $8,031,400 of preferred stock “ A” on which div
idends are payable in cash. It is not so long ago that
the idea of such a result would have been regarded as
visionary. While in common with all the North
western roads, the Chicago Great Western has derived
important advantages from the favorable conditions
prevailing (namely the large crops and the prosperity
of the farming classes), the increased care and atten
tion bestowed on the methods of operating have also
been an important element in the improved net re
sults shown.
We see that it cost only 70,13 per cent to oper
ate rhe road in the late year, against 73'23 per cent
in 1896-7, and that the ratio for 1897-8 is the lowest
ever reached by the company.
At the same time the
report tells us that the policy of making liberal ex
penditures upon the permanent way and the rolling
stock has been continued— that every tie in the whole
line and about 95 per cent of all the bridges have now
been renewed, and that in the renewals more than half
the bridges have been made permanent with earth
over stone arch waterways. The reduction in operat
ing cost is not surprising considering that the com
pany has in recent years spent considerable new capi
tal in reducing grades and in various other ways bring
ing road-bed, track, equipment, etc., up to a high stand
ard . The benefits which have resulted are seen when we
come to study the traffic statistics. In 1897-8 the road
carried 345,535 more tons of freight than in the year
preceding, being an increase of over 30 per cent. Yet
this was done with an increase of only 8 per cent in
the freight train mileage. The report does no', show
the tonnage movement one mile, so we cannot tell
what the train load is, but obviously the load must
have been materially heavier. The best previous year
in the company’s history as far as earnings and reve

nues are concerned was the year 1892-93. A compar

Thus, while the freight traffic during the five years
increased from 1,588,598 to 1,814,750 tons, the freight
train mileage in the same interval was contracted over
25 per cent, being reduced from 2,903,398 miles to
2,168,918 miles. There are no figures to show the
average rate per ton per mile received by the com
pany, but we all know that the general tendency
of rates has been strongly downward during this period
of live years. Yet despite the reduction in rates, the
increase in train loads has been such that the Chicago
Great Western now records earnings per freight
irain mile of $1 89, against only $1 28 in the earlier
year. We may note that at $1 89 the Great West
ern’s trains earn a higher average than do the trains
of other leading roads in the same section, the average
of the North Western for the year ending May 31 be
ing $1 73, of the Rock Island for the year ending
March 31 $1 65, and of the St. Paul for the year end
ing June 30, 1897, $1 68.
The Rio Grande Western has this week announced
a dividend on its common stock, and thus the share
holders are getting the fruits of the improved earn
ings which the property has been netting. Larger or
smaller dividends on the preferred shares have been a
feature for some time, but dividends on the com
mon shares are a new departure. The payment
is not to be in cash but in preferred stock; it is
based, however, on earnings. The company is simply
pursuing a conservative policy, and making the distrib
ution in stock, thus giving it the use of the equivalent
cash. A similar policy, it will be remembered, was
followed when dividends were first resumed on the pre
ferred shares. A circular issued by the company says
that the Auditor’s figures for the late year show a
surplus of $220,000 beyond the amount necessary for
the full 5 per cent on the preferred stock. This is
over 2 per cent on the $10,000,000 of common stock,
and accordingly the dividend is 2 per cent— payable,
as stated, in preferred stock.
The $200,000 of cash
represented by the dividend, together with $50,000
appropriated from profit and loss, is to constitute a
betterment fund of $250,000 ; $87,000 of this had been
expended up to June 30, and the company’s statement
tells us that a portion of the remainder has been
authorized to be expended during the current fiscal
year.
The annual report of the Buffalo Rochester & Pitts
burg has been issued this week—about a month earlier
than in former years. The tonnage of the road con
sists principally of coal, and the development of this
coal traffic over that road has been simply mar
velous.
Of coal and coke combined the road
carried no less than 4.641,081 tons in the late
year, against only 3,380,800 in the previous year,
and but 2,071,744 tons in 1893-4. The general freight
amounted to 1,233,092 tons in 1898, 992,338 tons in
1897 and 910,988 tons in 1894— showing progress,
here too. Under the further addition in the late
year the road actually had a larger tonnage in coal
and coke than the Chesapeake & Ohio, whose report
we reviewed a fortnight since—that is, the Buffalo
Rochester & Pittsburg’s aggregate was 4,641,081
tons, while that of the Chesapeake &■ Ohio was 4,474,790 tons. Like the Chesapeake & Ohio, too- the

THE CHRONICLE

Rochester & Pittsburg is obliged to transport the
traffic at very low rates, and the average is each year
dropping o a lower depth. For 1897-8 the company
realized only 4*8 mills per ton per mile on its entire
freight tonnage. This, though somewhat better than
ou the C. & 0 ., is decidedly the lowest in the com 
pany's history. The decline has been met by reduclng the cost of rendering the service through the
practice of broad methods of economy. We note,
for instance, that the train load in 1897-8 rose to
386 tons, from 296 tons the previous year. In this
way the company is able to show satisfactory in
come results, notwithstanding the low rates received.
From the annual report it appears that after
meeting all fixed charges and allowing 8132,853
for extraordinary expenses and improvements, there
remained a surplus of 8358,321 on the operations of
the twelve months. The two dividends of one per
cent each paid on the preferred shares took 8120,000,
leaving a balance of 8.232,321.
A feature of the bank statement of last week was
the further reduction in the surplus reserve. Accord
ing to the report of that date it stood at §28,S39,250,
against 820,823,500 on March 5, which was the lowest
o f the year. This is a loss of 833,367,000 since June
25. The movement of money to the interior appears
to he increasing, and in some cases gold has been
shipped/but these were mostly to the East. Only
two of the banks had last Saturday what may be
called large amounts of legal tenders; one of these re
ported 84,293,700 and the other 83,165,000. Five of
the banks had between 82,000,000 and 83,000,000
each, ten had between 81,000,000 and $2,000,000 and
the remainder had less than 81,000,000 each. The
whole have only §55,519,500. It follows, therefore,
that very many of the banks will have to meet the
demands of their interior correspondents with gold.
The requirements for bond payments have been so
large that the stock of gold in individual bank vaults
has been drawn upon to such an extent that a resort
to the supply in the Clearing House vaults has become
necessary, and ou Wednesday a large amount of the
metal was transferred from the Clearing House to the
Sub-Treasury. Payments for the new 3 per cent bonds
at the close of last week had amounted to but little
more than one-third the whole, and as these
payments are expected to increase in volume after the
distribution of lots of $500 and under is completed, it
is assumed that there will continue to he an important
drain of money out of the banks and into the Treas
ury until the bond settlements shall be entirely com
pleted.
The specially-designated depository banks
are gradually obtaining bonds with which to qualify
for the reception of additional deposits. But there is
active competition for these bonds by banks which
are substituting the 3 per cents for the higher-priced
issues as security for circulation. The Government
expenditures are large, especially on accouut of the
War Department for transportation, supplies and the
pay of troops; but these expenditures are widely dis
tributed, while the drain into the Treasury falls most
heavily upon the New York banks.
Money on call, representing bankers’ balances, loaned
generally at I f per cent until Thursday afternoon.
In the last hour of that day there waB a good demand
for money, which caused an advance in the rate to
3 per cent, though loans were made at 2 per cent at
the close. On Friday the range was from I f to 2
per cent. For the week it was from
to 3 per cent,

[■Von LXVIi

averaging fully 2 per cent. The rise in the rate on
Thursday was mainly due to the fact that the receipts
at the Sub-Treasury had for the first three days of
the week been about 85,060,000 in excess of the pay
ments and it was therefore assumed that the bank
statement of this week would show a further aud,
perhaps, considerable loss in surplus reserve. Banks
and trust companies quote I f per cent as the mini
mum, the majority, however, obtaining 2 per cent.
Time loads are in good request and rates are 3 per
cent for sixty to ninety days, 3A per cent for four and
31(0;4 per cent for five to six months on good Stock Ex
change collateral. Commercial paper is quiet with
fairly good offerings and only a moderate demand.
The inquiry is chieliy confined to down-town banks and
trust companies, and choice names meet with ready
sale. Rates are 3 f per cent for sixty to ninety-day
endorsed bills receivable, 4 to 41 per cent for prime
and 5 to 6 per cent for good four to six months’ single
names.
The commissioners to the peace conference at
Paris have been appointed by the United States and
by the Spanish governments. The commissions for
Cuba aud for Porto Rico have also been selected by both
governments, and only the arrangement of prelimin
aries for the conferences remain to he made. About
the only feature in the European financial situation
during the week has been a sharp advance in Spanish
4 per cents on Wednesday. The Bank of England
minimum rate of discount remains unchanged at 2\
per cent. The cable reports discounts of sixty to
ninety-day bank bills in London 1J@1| per cent.
The open market rate at Paris is I f per cent, and at
Berlin and Frankfort it is 3 f@ 3 f per cent. Accord
ing to our special cable from London tlio Bank of
England gained £80,475 bullion during the week and
held £35,065,342 at the close of the week. Our cor
respondent further advises us that the gain was due
to the import of £75,000 from Australia, to receipts
of £130,000 net from the interior of Great Britain,
and the export of £125,000, of which £100,000 were
to the United States and £25,000 to. Russia.
The foreign exchange market has been quiet this
week with a downward tendency, though rates for
actual business have been only slightly changed. The
offerings of cotton futures are increasing; at the same
time there appears to be a good demand for them,
which serves to keep rates steady. Selling of sixtyday bankers’ -bills, in the expectation of covering later
iu the season, continues on a moderately large scale,
and there is fairly active trading in checks, which
have almost wholly taken the place of the regular de
mand sterling bills since the Internal Revenue de
cision permitting foreign checks to bear stamps of the
same denomination as domestic checks. Though rates
for actual business in sight sterling rule very close to
the gold-importing point there seems to be no dispo
sition to press offerings but rather to' let the market
take a natural course. Gold imports cannot long be
deferred, aud to hasten them would seem to
be undesirable in view of possible disturbance
to the London and the Continental discount markets
which might result from too precipitate gold imports.
There have been no arrivals of gold from Europe
during the week other than those in transit to
Cuba.’
The range for nominal rates for exchange has been
from 4 84 to 4 84A for sixty day and '4 86 for sight.
The market was dull and barely steady, tending

toward ease throughout the week. Rates for actua
business opened on Monday unchanged, com
pared with those at the close on Friday of
last wee*, at 4 8 3 f@ t 84 for long, 4 85i@ 4 854
for short and 4 85f@ 4 86 for cable transfers.
There was no quotable alteration in rates until
Thursday, the market being dull and easy, with
slight changes during each day and closing generally
as it had opened. On Thursday there was a lighter
demand for remittance and a little better supply of
commercial bills, and rates for actual business fell off
one-quarter of a cent all around to 4 83|@4 83f for
long, 4 85@4 85^ for short and 4 8o£@4 S5f for cable
transfers. Friday the market continued dull and
easy. The following shows daily posted rates for ex

THE PH ILIPPIN E PROBLEM.

All that is stipulated in the protocol of August 12,
regarding the disposition of the Philippine Islands, is
contained in the third clause, which provides that
“ the United States will occupy and hold the city, bay
and harbor of Manila, pending the conclusion of a
treaty of peace which shall determine the control, dis
position and government of the Philippines.” On the
face of the document, therefore, it is evident that
Spain has not yet agreed to cede so much as a coalingstation in these islands, much less to relinquish sov
ereignty over the entire archipelago. The situation
must be judged, however, in the light rather of prac
tical common-sense than of formal diplomatic proce
dure; and looked upon from that point of view, it is
plain enough that Spain must grant whatever the

has more than justified the sanguine expectations then
outlined, and we confess that the expansion in
revenues has proved more pronounced than even we
dared hope at the time. In brief, in the gross earn
ings there has been an increase, as compared with the
previous year, of $1,397,811, or over 20 per cent, in
the net earnings, an increase of $155,548, or over 15
per cent. Of course this is in comparison with rather
a poor year, but the improvement is none the less
noteworthy on that account, particularly in view of
the circumstances above noted.
In interpeting the meaning and significance of such
a gratifying advance, it should be borne in mind that
in the development of a railroad property two things
are preeminently necessary. First a wise and efficient
management having faith in the enterprise, and
secondly a rich and fertile territory offering the
opportunity, if availed of, of yielding steadly en
larging sources of traffic. The Denver & Rio Grande
has possessed both these essentials in a marked degree.
We think in this country the importance of the first
element in the magnificent results produced is not
granted the full recognition it deserves. Growth is
such a universal rule— such a common occurrence— in
the United States, and railroad managers have so
generally shown themselves capable and loyal
(the few exceptions where this has not been the case
only going to prove the rule), that we have become
rather accustomed to think that growth would come
anyway, be the management capable and progressive
or the reverse. Buirsuch a view is wholly superficial.

that we shall presently have a series of insurrections
on our hands. It will not do even to extend the hap
hazard methods which have brought frequent scandal
into our Indian Bureau’ s affairs; for the care of the
Indians was our own peculiar problem not open to out
side diplomatic criticism. It will not do to conduct our
foreign diplomacy with such easy retorts as marked the
Behring Sea negotiation, or through such agents as
have frequently made our foreign service ridiculous
at not unimportant foreign capitals.
It certainly will not answer to choose our consuls
from country politicians and our colonial administra

we are to provide against such possibilities as these
the colonial experiment will be something like na
tional suicide. Bor ourselves, we believe that the
very gravity of the undertaking, which we think our
people fully realize, is our best safeguard against
such pitfalls.
Does any one, for instance, seri
ously believe that because in our domestic fiscal
legislation of other years we may have carried the
policy of protection to extremes, we will therefore now
begin by shutting out goods of other foreign States
from our newly-acquired colonies ? If so, he must
imagine that America has shut its eyes to the diplo
matic drama even now in progress on the Chinese coast;
that it has forgotten the lesson taught by our own
people to England in 1776, when England tried precisely
this policy of trade discrimination. It is not our belief
that the lessons of history have been wholly wasted on
one of the most intelligent of modern nations.

that the financial interests in the property hero in
the East, with Mr. George Coppell as Chairman of
the Board, have bad unbounded confidence in their
President, and have given him full latitude and sup
port in carrying out his ideas.
Of course, neither the not nor the gross revenues of
the system iu the late year were up to the previous
maximum. But this only makes the results of the
late year pregnant with increased possibilities for the
fixture. For obviously with the likelihood of a return
again to the best previous attainment under the revival
in progress, the prospect is for an even better exhibit
than that now disclosed for the late fiscal year. We
have had occasion once or twice of late to refer in
these columns to the company’s enlarged dividend
distributions on the preferred shares.
It appears
from the income showing now before us that after
providing for the 24 per cent dividends declared out
of the year’s revenues, also contributions of $30,000
to the Renewal Fund and $30,000 to a special fund es
tablished for meeting the expenses of converting the
outstanding 7 per cent bonds-—after providing for all
these requirements and allowances, there was left a
surplus of over a quarter of a million of dollars
($357,252) on the operations of the twelve months.
This is certainly a satisfactory record. But, as already
stated, the prospect is for even better results hereafter
should the present industrial prosperity, as seems
likely, continue and make further headway. As indi
cating the extent of the difference- between the late
year and the best previous year, we may note that at
$3,342,926 for 1897-8 the gross earnings compare with
$9,317,640 for 1892-3, and the net earnings at $3,325,326 compare with $4,035,561 in that year. In
short, full recovery would mean a further addition of
nearly a million of dollars to the gross and of nearly
three quarters of a million dollars to the net. It may
safely be taken for granted that it is merely a ques
tion of time when the showing for 1892-3 will not
only he again repeated but surpassed.
Of course the recovery and recuperation which has
been established in face of the mishap to the silvermining industry would not have been possible except
for the progressiveness of the people of Colorado and
their readiness and ability to adapt themselves
to the changed circumstances by turning to other
avenues of usefixlness. With silver-mining yielding
gradually diminishing returns they devoted their
energies to new fields.
Gold-mining, for instance,
was extensively developed, and the State now ranks
as the largest gold producing State in the Union. In
other directions, also, mineral development has been
prosecuted.
Agriculture, too, has received new at
tention. We stated above that the State was not an
agricultural State in the sense that other Western
States are. At the same time it must be admitted
that even in the matter of agriculture the State
is every year making greater headway.
Evidence
of this is found in the traffic statistics for the late
year, showing grain shipments of 70,648 tons in 1897-8
against 40,283 tons in 1896-7, and shipments of fruits
and vegetables of 81,568 tons agaiust 31,957 tons, be
sides which there are gains in various minor items of
agricultural tonnago.
Of course the company’s largest single items of
tonnago are coal and precious ore. Of coal the road
carried 797,131 tons in the late year, as against only
609,262 tons in 1896-7, and of precious ore 404,963
tons against 273,217 tons. The last-mentioned item,

[VOL, LX V 1 1

I we take it, indicates the development of gold-mining,
the first-mentioned item the general manufacturing
and industrial growth of tho State. Mineral develop
ment in another direction is indmuted by shipments
of 235,337 tons of iron ore agaiust only <i;,776 tons ;
while merchandise shipments of 194,431 tons against
138,709 tons, lumber shipments of 100,728 tons
against 75,120 tons, and shipments of stone, sand, &c.,
of 135,-474 tons against 82,230 tons, indicate manufac
turing and commercial growth. The expansion in the
coke shipments, making them 144,892 tons against
90,927 tons, is connected with the same causes as the
expansion in the coal shipments.
The truth is, the late year’s traffic statistics are re
markable no more for the wonderful growth disclosed
(the inci'ease in actual tons moved having been nearly
50 per cent, the number- of tons being 3,596,029 tons,
against 1,731,694 tons) than for the great diversifica
tion in the tonnage which they show to be in progress.
This diversification the Denver management have
done everything to foster and encourage. They rec
ognized that if, directly and indirectly, losses must be
endured because of the decline in silver, these losses
must be made good in other directions, and the figures
we are now reviewing attest the success attending
their effort. We may note that while gross revenues,
as already pointed oixt, are still a million dollars
below the total for 1892-3, the tonnage tells a
different story. This shows an aggregate of 2,596,029 tons for 1897-8, against only 2,488,079 tons
for 1892-3, so that the 1898 tonnage was actually in
excess of that of the best previous year. The loss in
revenues, therefore, must be ascribed to an important
extent presumably to a fall in rates. At the same
time the passenger revenues arc much smaller than in
the earlier year. This loss, however, we may assume
will be quickly overcome when a full and complete
revival of trade all over tho country is established.
To the advantages arising from the steady increase
in revenues which is at present in progress, the com
pany has now the prospect of further advantage
through a reduction in its fixed charges by refunding.
Oar readers are acquainted with the arrangements
made to refund in advance of maturity the $6,382,500
of first mortgage 7 per cent bonds falling due in 1900.
Suffice it to say, therefore, that nearly three millions
of the bonds have been exchanged thus far, and that
when the entire refunding operation is completed
there will be. a saving in fixed charges through it of
$160,000 per annum. We need hardly state that
the company’s finances are in excellent shape,
that there is no floating debt in the form of loans
or bills payable, and that the ordinary current
liabilities are greatly exceeded by the available cur
rent assets. No charges whatever were made to capi
tal account during the year, everything being paid
for out of earnings. The accounts of the company
are stated with great clearness and fullness, which is
not surprising considering that Mr. Stephen Little is
the Comptroller of the company. Though the com
pany has the benefit of Mr. Little’s experience and ser
vices the books and accounts are nevertheless sub
jected to an independent audit. Mr. W. (1. Purdy,
the President of the Rock Island, who made the audit
as in other recent years, certifies that he found every
thing correct and extols the system of accounting
practiced and the great attention bestowed upon the
records and accounts by tlie President and chief ac
counting officers of the company.

both in the gro33 and the net continued remarkably

It remains only to be said that despite the losses
here disclosed and the small increase in the final re
sult, there are only two groups that show losses for
the month in the net (the Trunk Line and the N orth
western) and only one, namely the Anthracite Coal
group, that has suffered a decrease in the gross. W e
annex the following, furnishing a summary of the
groups for June.

As regards the statement for June, we have already
indicated that it does not come up to the level of the
returns for the preceding months, the reason being
found mainly in the contraction in tho grain move
ment. It deserves also to be pointed out that we are
comparing with somewhat better results in the pre
vious year. The following carries the comparisons of
the June totals back to 1893.

L ondon , Saturday, Aug. 13, 1898.

The Spanish acceptance of President McKinley’s terms be
came known in London on Thursday morning and there was
instantly a marked rise in the American department, accom
panied by a general expansion in business. The American
purchases of American securities have been for some time
past on a considerable scale and this week they are larger
than ever. For the first time the city is actively participat
ing, and there are signs that the general public is likewise
beginning to buy.
Everybody recognizes that the whole situation is so much
improved in the United States that the fears respecting the
currency may now be dismissed, and that consequently a long
j period of prosperity may be looked for. Outside o f the
American department, however, there is as yet little doing.
Ia th efirst place the British railway dividends have been
disappointing. Spsaking broadly, the traffic returns all
through the first half of the year were exceedingly good, and
though it was understood that both wages and materials had
risen, and therefore it was anticipated there would be an in
crease in expenditure, still the general anticipation was that
for the most part last year’s dividends would bs maintained.
The anticipation has been entirely disappointing. In one
case the dividend has been reduced from 4 per cent to
per
cent and in other cases there have been reductions of % and
per cent.
To pat the matter as briefly as possible, there has been an
increase of expenditure upon the eighteen principal lines of the
United Kingdom of about l l4 millions sterling. About onehalf million is due to the rise in wages ; the rest is due either
to the coal strike in South Wales, to the rise in the prices of
materials, or to the much larger expenditure upon better
ments.
It may be well to remind the reader that the old Manches
ter Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway Company, which was
originally intended to]connect the North of England from east
to west, some years ago determined to build a trunk line to
London, completely changing the nature and the policy of
the company. The project is now nearly completed, and the
name of the old line has been changed to the Great Central.
The Great Central very soon now will begin to compete with
tbe lines that heretofore have connected London with the
North of England and with Scotland, and it would seem that
these lines, anticipating a war of rate3, have been afttively
preparing for it during the past half-year. Furthermore, the
Great Western Railway Company, which connects directly
with the Southwest of England and the South of Wales, is
about to construct a new line by building short links between
old branches and so making a direct line to the coast of Sout h

Wales, starting steamers from thereto the south coast of Ire
land, and thus competing directly with the Loudon & North
Western, which formerly had a practical monopoly of the mail
traffic between London and the Southwest of Irelaud, espec
ially Cork. Apparently both the Great Western and the
North Western have also been preparing for this competition.
The result of all is that the amount paid in dividends this
year is less by about £400,000 than the amount paid twelve
months ago.
In addition to all this, the charges made by Mr. Hooley to
the effect that he had made payments to a large number of
noblemen and directors of companies, which he bought and
transformed, has made a very bad impression upon the Stock
Exchange. The charges have been denied more or less
strongly, but the general belief is i hat tbev contain some
amount of truth. In any case, the Stock Exchange jumps
to the conclusion that the investing public will believe that
there is no smoke without fire, and that consequently the
old confidence in boards of directors which consist of men
of high position will be shaken: moreover, that it will be
much mere difficult in the future to induce the public to
subscribe to new enterprises.
A t the same time the desperate plight in which Spain is,
the unhappy condition of Italy, the delay in settling Crete,
the unrest in the Balkan Peninsula, and the struggle of the
nationalities in Austria-Hungary, all continue to keep up a
certain amount of apprehension. Respecting Spain, it is
understood that the negotiations with the Messrs. Rothschild
for renewing the lease of the Almaden silver mines in con
sideration for a loan of three or four millions sterling will
be resumed, and that the long talked-of tobacco monopoly
will be created. It will give Spain a certain amount of
money; but she requires very much more, and it remains to
be seen whether Paris may lend. It may safely be said
that London will not. In its difficulties the Govern
ment has authorized the Bank of Spain to increase its
note circulation to 2,c00 million pesetas. Nominally the
peseta is of the same value as the French franc,
and 25 pesetas are worth a pound sterling; but
really the peseta is at a discount c f abont oC<f. A t its
par or nominal value, then, the full issue, if it is made, will
mean a note circulation of the Bank of Spain of 100 millions
sterling, or about four times that of the Bank of England.
It is easy to foresee what the value o f the Bank notes will
become if this decree is acted upon. True the decree or
dains that if the circnlation is under 2,000 million pesetas tha
Bank is to keep half the amount in gold and silver ; while if
it rises to 2,500 million pesetas the reserve is to amount to twothirds. But it is one thing to decree these notes, and it is an
entirely different thing to get gold and silver. The plain fact
is, that the Government has no other way of paying its bills.
The whole accommodation given to the public in bills and ad
vances is about seven millions sterling, so that in one form
or other the Government apparently intends to make the
Bank of Spain lend itself a total nominally amounting to
93 millions sterling.
The struggle for concessions in China goes on. Just now
there is a keen fight between the British and the Russian
ministers at Pekin concerning the contract entered into by
the Chinese Government with the Shanghai and Hong Kong
Bank for a loan to construct the Nni-Cliwang railway" exten
sions. The Russian Government objects because the line
will be in Northern China and wishes to compel the Chinese
Government to forbid the line to be mortgaged as a security
for the loan; also all foreign interference of every kind. It is
said that the Russian Minister has succeeded ; but though
the struggle for concessions keeps up a certain amount of
disquiet, there is no real apprehension of war between this
country and Russia.
The money market is exceedingly easy and in spite of
everything the banks can do, rates remain very low. They
are sure so to continue so long as the Japanese Government
lends freely here and gold is not taken from the Bank of
England in large amounts. Gold is going to Germany, but
the best opinion seems to be that the German demand will
not be inconveniently large. Respecting what the United
States demand will be there is much diversity of opinion.
If the moving ol the crops, the expansion of trade and the
Government operations make money very dear in New
York, and consequently gold shipments from London be
come large, there is sure to be a rapid and considerable rise
in rates here. Otherwise rates will remain low For the
moment, therefore, the key of the position seems to be in
New York. Not much gold will go to Japan, and no con 
siderable amount will go to India. It is understood that the
Currency Committee will meet again in October and that its
sittings will probably be continued for many months.
What its ultimate decision will be nobody can foresee, nor is
it possible yet to judge whether the appointment of Mr.
Curzon, who has for some years been Under Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, to the Viceroyalty of India will in any way
alter the policy of the Indian Government.
Mr. Curzon is not quite forty, is exceedingly active, ener
getic add able, is a good speaker and good writer, and has
made a reputation at the Foreign Office, Practically he has
been the mouthpiece of the Foreign Office in the House of
Commons since the present Government was formed. He has
travelled extensively in Russia, Persia, along the northwest
frontier of India, throughout India itBelf, and in China. He
has written books on these countries and he has an immense
faith in himself. Whether he will form a currency policy for

himself remains to be seen. Hitherto the different viceroys
have mote or less been gnided by the permanent officials in
Calcutta. It is quite possible that Mr. Curzon may himself
be bis own Finance Minister and may insist upon carrying
ont an entirely new financial policy.
M eanwhile the monetary esse in India continues and is
likely to continue until November and December. But on
account of the dearth of rupees, owing to the closing of the
mints, there is still a strong demand for Conned drafts. On
Wednesday the Council offered fo f tender 25 lacs and the ap
plications amounted to 81 lacs. The whole am ount offered
w assofdat an average price slightly exceeding Is. 3ijjd, per
rupee. Subsequently a few thousand lacs were sold at Is.
3 15-16d. per rupee.

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—The
trend of business in Wall Street this week has been for the
moat part along conservative lines. The volume was smaller
than during the two previous weeks, but was still relatively
large, and reflects a wider pnblic interest, which absorbed
the offerings of securities and kept the market generally
steady. The improved industrial situation, present and pros
pective, has led to increasing interest in some industrial
securities. This is especially noticeable this week in the iron
stocks, and is stimulated by an alliance or combination now
being arranged which includes several o f the largest com
panies in the West and Northwest. The iron industry is a
constantly broadening one, and its future importance in this
country can hardly be over-estimated.
Remarks by the President of a leading granger road, the
weekly earnings of which are considered a barometer of trade
conditions in the Northwest, to the effect that the large busi
ness now being reported is made up chiefly of West-bound traf
fic, is suggestive of what may he expected in that section when
the Fall movement of grain sets in. As farther illustrating
the improved situation in the West, it is reported that local
banks are generally well supplied with funds for moving the
crops, and that tbere is likely to be less demand than in some
former years for Eastern capital for that purpose. There is,
however, a better demand for money at this centre and con
sequently a firmer tone to the market.
The open market rates for call loans on the Stock Exchange
during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged
from 11 to 3 percent. To-day’s rates on call were 1% to 2
per cent. Prime commercial paper quoted at 3% to 4% per
cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed an increase in bullion of £80,475, and the percentage
of reserve to liabilities was 48-30, against -i7•21 last week; the
discount rate remains unchanged at 3% per cent. The Bank
of France shows an increase of 2,400,000 francs in gold and
1,600,000 francs in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House hanks in their statexnentof Aug. 20 showed a decrease in the reserve held of $3207,800 and a surplus over the required reserve o f $28,839,250,
against $33,111,850 the previous week.

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
has been more than usually active. Although the trans
actions steadily diminished from 635,600 shares on Mon
day to 466,300 shares on Thursday, they were over 676,200 to-day. There was some irregularity in prices, but as a
whole the market was firm and in some important cases a
substantial advance is noted. Conspicuous among the latter
are Northern Pacific, Louisville & Nashville, Metropolitan
Street Railway and some of the lower-priced issues, The
gangers occupied a prominent place in each day’s market
and were generally firm on a steady demand. The coal
stocks were neglected. Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St.
Louis has not sustained the advance recently made; it sold
on Wednesday at a decline of 6 points, a small part o f which
it has regained. Manhattan Elevated was a weak feature,
hut its decline of nearly 7 points had but little effect upon
the market. It has recovered sharply to day.
The miscellaneous list was more erratic than usual, although
in most cases net changes are to a higher level. Minnesota
Iron and Illinois Steel w'ere strong, on the progress towards
an alliance. The former sold up to 99%, a gain o f nearly 30
points since Aug. 1. New York Air Brake and International
Paper fluctuated over a range of about 12 points and Con
solidated Gas over 10 points within the week. American
Sugar, American Tobacco and People’s Gas show substanI tial net gains.

STREET R1ILW 4.Y3 AND TRACTION COMPANIES.
The following table shows the g r o s s earnings for the latest
period of all street railways from which we are able to ob~
tain weekly or monthly returns. The arrangement o f the
table is the same as that for the steam roads—that is, the
first two columns of figures give the gross earnings for the
latest week or month, and the last two columns the earnings
or the calendar year from January 1 to and including such
latest week or month.

entire fiscal year will probably be somewhere between 10 and
20 per cent.
“ W e eonld have made very much more favorable reports
had we not nudertaken to maintain onr track aud equipment
in the very best possible manner. We expended during the
last fiscal year for maintenance of equipment alone over
$137,000, all of which was charged into operating expenses,
and much of the work thus done was work which might
properly have been charged against betterments if we had
merely desired to make a good showing in onr operating
statements. My relations with the persons representing the
largest interests in the company have convinced me that they
are in the company to stay, to build up the property, and to
put it in a condition where it will have the most substantial
and permanent prosperity. Certainly that is their policy as
it has been outlined to me, and that is the policy under which
the system is being operated.
“ The income account of the company for the last fiscal
year showed a surplus of $70,30$. For the first seven months,
however, of the present calendar year the income account
is as follows:

the surplns of the operating companies not turned over to

EPI TOME.

F r id a y N ig h t , Aug. 26, 1898.
A s a rule business conditions have been reported as fa irly
satisfactory, and merchants in most lines of merchandise
have continued to note a gradually expanding trade, and
confidence in the prospects for a good fa ll business continue
to be quite general. The activity and higher prices for In 
dustrial shares in the stock m arket is also taken as evidence
showing improved business conditions. A report at the close
of the week that the President bad chosen the Peace Com
m issioner was a topic of some interest.
Lard on the spot at the Western market ha3 been in fairly
active export demand, but at lower prices. Refiners have
been slow buyers. The close was steady at 5'40c. for prime
Western and 5c. for prime C ity. Refined lard has had a
moderate sale at a decline in values, closing at 5'70c. for re
fined for the Continent. The speculation in lard for future
delivery has been moderately active. Prices have declined
under general selling prompted by fu ll receipts of swine and
in sym pathy w ith an easier market for corn.

prices of spot cotton, have been as follows.

Oats for future delivery have been dull. Early in the week
prices weakened slightly in response to easier advices from
the West, where there was slightly increased pressure to sell.
Sympathy with the decline in corn also had a weakening
effect upon values. The cash trade has been only moderate,
as neither shippers nor the home trade have been extensive
buyers. To-day the market was quiet and unchanged. The
spot market was steady. No export business reported.

BREADSTUFFS.
F r i d a y , Aug. 26. 1898.
Business in the market for wheat flour has been quiet
Demand has been slow from both the home trade and ex
porters. Bayers generally have been slow in placing orders
their purchases having been confined to peddling lots, a
with few exceptions they have been holding off for lower
values. Prices have shown some irregularity. In the main
they have held to a steady basis, but here and there conces.
sions have been obtained. Choice old crop wheat floor has
been in light supply and well held. Rye flour has had a
limited sale at steady prices. Corn meal has sold slowly, but
offerings have not been excessive and values have held to a
steady basis.
Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been on a
moderate scale only. Early in the week prices were depressed
by dull and easier foreign advices and a large crop movement
iii the Northwest. Subsequently, however, there developed
a steadier tone on a falling off in the crop movement and a
more active shipping demand. The statistical position also
had a strengthening effect upon values. Saturday was a
holiday in the local market. There was. however, some
“ curb ’’ trading and prices for September declined l?jjc. to 68c.,
ih response to weak and lower foreign advices. Monday the
market was easier under weaker foreign advices, a large
movement of the crop in the Northwest and favorable
weather conditions at the West for harvesting the crop.
The close showed a decline in prices o f ’*j®l%c as compared
with
Friday’s
final figures.
Tuesday there was a
steadier tone to the market and prices advanced
The buying was principally by shorts to cover contracts
stimulated by an improved shipping demand. Advices
received from the West stating that only a small
supply of wheat arriving was grading contract also had its
Anfluence in hardening vatnes. Wednesday the market was
firmer daring early ’Change on crop damage reports from
Eastern Russia. Subsequently, however, there developed in
creased pressure to sell prompted by weaker foreign advices,
and prices declined, closing :1S i?Kc. lower for the day. Thurs
day prh es were lower early in response to foreign advices.
Later there developed a demand from short3 to cover con
tracts and as offerings were limited prices advanced and
closed % " vgc. higher for the day. To-day there was a
firmer mtrket during early ’ Change on buying by shorts to

The most prominent feature in business this week was the
auction sale of 75,000 pieces of dress goods, the production
of the Arlington Mills, Lawrence, Mass. At agents’ prices
these represented a value of about $1,250,000, but at the
prices realized at the sale but little more than $809,003. The
competition was very irregular, and where plain goods de
clined on an average 20 per cent fancies fell off fully 40 per
cent. It was hardly expected that the sale wonld prove an
unqualified success, but the result was even more unsatisfac
tory than anticipated. As a test of conditions actually pre
vailing in dry goods this sale can hardly be accepted as a fair
criterion, but it must be admitted that it confirmed what has
been stated from time to time in these reports regarding the
generally conservative disposition of the trade in face of pros
pects such as might be expected to tempt them into some
freedom of action. Even at the low prices the largest houses
bought sparingly. In the regular market, conditions have
not undergone any material change. The demand for cot' on
goods is considerable in the bulk, but there are very few
transactions noted of individual volume and sellers, while
filling orders readily at previous prices, generally refuse to
make concessions. Woolen goods continue dull and unsatis
factory.
W o o l e n G o o d s . —There have been no encouraging devel
opments in the woolen-goods division this week. The de
mand for new spring woolens and worsteds for men’s wear
continues disappointingly conservative, as in only a few lines
are buyers placing orders for other than sample pieces.
There has not been any change in prices, but a disposition
to curtail production is growing more noticeable, and several
mills have shut down during the past week or two. In over
