THE CHRONICLE. .
TH E F IN A N C IA L SITU ATIO N .

A conspicuous feature this week has been the deposit
with the Sub-Treasury by the Morgan-Belmont Syndi
cate of $2, 000,000 gold in exchange for which they
received Edited States legal tender notes. This was
for the purpose of reimbursing the Treasury for the
amount of gold which had been withdrawn and shipped
to Europe since the settlement with the Government.
The transaction, it may be said, cost those whose
act it was but a trifle measured in dollars and
cents,
and yet for any who think it is fair
dealing or even good policy to make a cheap currency
to pay one’ s debts with (a fifty-cent-dollar currency for
instance) it is an object lesson worth studying. No
member of the Syndicate was required by the letter of
the contract to make this further deposit. Even the
spirit of the arrangement had been fully lived up to
when a settlement with the Government was effected.
Perhaps some may say they could well afford to do it;
they made a large amount of money out of the Govern
ment. We have not seen their balance-sheet; one
thing is everywhere known, however, which is that
they have done a most marvelous work for the coun
try— a work that could not have been done through
any other possible connections in Am erica and E u 
rope, and we certainly hope they will in the end
find they have made enough money to pay them
well for the benefits they have conferred upon the
country.
The revival of business activity finds no more strik 
ing or noteworthy illustration than that furnished by
the weekly and monthly records of bank clearings.
Through the liberal use of the telegraph we are able
this week to present our statement of clearings for the
month of July, and it is by all odds the best monthly
exhibit we have yet had in the present upward move
ment. For May the ratio of improvement over last
year had been 24'7 per cent, for June 22 '1 per c e n t ;
for July the increase is almost 30 p ercen t— 29-8 per
per cent. It is true there was an extra business day in
the month the present year (July 1895 having contained
only four Sundays, whereas July 1891 contained five
Sundays), but the increase in the ratio of improvement
is much larger than would be explained by that fact
alone. This is shown more particularly in the case of
the results outside of New Y ork, where against an in
crease of 12'3 per cent in May and an increase of 12'5
per cent in June, the gain in July is a3 much as 21-7
per cent. The further expansion is the more note
worthy in view of the fact that at quite a number of
Western points, in the section where the crop failure
was so complete, the clearings returns have shown not
an increase but actually a large falling off. Thus
Omaha, Duluth, St. Joseph, Sioux City, Des Moines,
Lincoln, Topeka, Fremont, Hastings and Sioux Falls
all report diminished clearings, the decrease ranging
from 8'4 per cent to 55'0 per cent.
O f course July last year was the period of the great
railroad strike, and it may be thought therefore that
we are comparing with much poorer results than in
other recent months. On the contrary, in July 1894
notwithstanding the strike the ratio of decrease was
only 15'7 per cent, or less than in any preceding
month of that year. As a matter of fact the most
gratifying feature in the presm t statements of clear
ings is that the totals not only show a large increase
over last year but that they compare well with the
years preceding too. For instance the aggregate for

[Von. LXI.

he whole country, at 4,570 million dollars for 1895
compares with 3,522 millions for 1894, with 4,155 mil
lions for 1893, with 4,639 millions for 1892 and with
4,392 millions for 1891. In other words the present
volume of the clearings is 10 per cent larger than that
for 1893, over 4 per cent larger than that for 1891 end
comes within 14 per cent of the very heavy total for
1892.
The fact that no improvement has yet occurred in
the condition of the anthracite coal trade, but that on
the contrary prices are quoted lower than before, gives
to the returns of gross and net earnings of the anthra
cite coal roads for the month of June, received within
the last ten days, unusual interest. However, the losses
iu earnings reported by these roads should not be invest
ed with an importance which they do not deserve, or
accepted as reflecting simply the demoralization in the
coal trade. The Beading statement, for example, shows
$270,577 loss in gross and $226,670 loss in net for the
Railroad Company and $875,462 loss in gross and $159,393 loss in net for the Coal & Iron C om pany; and the
Central of New Jersey $87,335 decrease in gross and
$48,781 decrease in n e t ; while the decrease of $30,125
in gross and $203,496 in net by the Erie is, no doubt,
also connected with the coal movement. But it would be
a mistake to charge these losses simply to the low prices
for coal prevailing. The truth is we are comparing with
very exceptional results— with a month in 1894 when
on account of the strike in the bituminous coal fields
the product in the 'anthracite regions was increased
in that month alone over a million tons, and the total
amount mined was the largest ever reached in any
single month, namely 5,116,844 tons. The present
year no such abnormal stimulus existed to swell the
output^ and hence the amount mined in June 1895
was only 3,777,644 tons as against the 5,116,844 tons
for 1894. It is this great falling off in tonnage, due to
a special cause, that mainly explains the poor showing
of earnings made by the anthracite roads. In fact it
is rather surprising in the case of the Erie and the
Central of New Jersey that the losses should be no
larger.
Money on call is in abundant supply at the Stock
Exchange, and loans have this week been almost uni
formly made at 1 per cent and some moderately large
bankers’ balances have been left unemployed. A few
loans have been made for comparatively small amounts
at 14, making the average for the week about 1-|- per
cent. Banks and trust companies quote 1 per cent as
the minimum, but loans are permitted to stand for in
definite periods at 14 per cent on good security. The
offerings of money for fixed periods are chiefly for short
dates, for which, however, there is little demand. The
inquiry is principally for loans maturing after the end
of the 3 ear and some business is done for six months,
while very little is recorded for less than four months.
Qiotations on good marketable collateral are 2 per
cent for thirty to sixty days, 24 for ninety days to four
months and 2 f@ 3 for five to seven months. A broker
who usually handles large loans for banks and trust
companies reports contracts difficult to make, though
offered at 14 per cent for sixty days, 2 per cent for
ninety days, 24 per cent for four and 3 per cent for
six months. Banks having extensive correspondence
with institutions at the South and West report an in
crease in the inquiry for re-discounts, and some quite
large sums have been placed in Texas and at Western
centres. One bank reports that nearly all the business
it has done for the past fortnight has been re-discount-

The Treasury statements for July present decidedly
encouraging features. Eoremost among these are the
evidences afforded of a permanently enlarged revenue.
We say permanently because the development has come
after a long suspension of income from certain import
ant taxes, and the expansion has taken place in a way
whieh indicates that the causes of the suspension of
income are being gradually removed, and that the in
crease is normal, healthy and growing.
Our industries are thus fortunately placed in having
just at this time new and better conditions con
fronting the Treasury.
Indeed it seems as if
every conceivable force was contributing to make
up a truly prosperous outlook for the coming
yea/. Nature certainly is doing its best by boun
tiful harvests to gladden the hearts of the agricul
turalists, while the better prices ruling for all farmers’
products, including the important item of wool, show
that the income from what they have to sell will be
further added to through the enhanced value of these
larger surpluses. Manufacturers, too, of almost every
description are exhibiting evidences of prosperity not

only by advancing wages but also by enlarging their
plant in numerous cases ; with reference to iron it is to
he said that we are apparently entering upon a season
of the heaviest production the country has ever en
joyed, which, as we all know, means much to many de
partments of trade. In brief, the industrial activity
which has been such a marked feature for months in
the Eastern and M ddle States is at length beginning
to manifest itself everywhere. Tne point suggested by
these facts, and which concerns the subject under review,
is that this brighter prospect had its inception in the sta
bility given to the Treasury and in the confidence given
to capital through the Syndicate bond purchase iu Feb
ruary last, and has received further aid this week by
the same parties in re-fortifying the Government’s gold
reserve.
Tdis brief recital thus serves again to disclose that
so far as our industries are ooncernel the “ key of
strength and safety” is to be found lying very close to
the financial situation of the Government. Hence,
when we say the Treasury statements for July indicate
that the situation as to revenue is permanently improv
ing, and that the Government has entered upon a new
and better era in this particular, we are stating a fact
of the widest interest, one which m en u that the
Treasury will soon be independent of syndicates and
be able to take care of itself. That this is the truth
seem3 to be a fair inference. Wnat has hitherto cur
tailed the Government income both from Customs du
ties and from internal revenue taxes ? Speaking in a
general way it has been, first, the large imports made
last year in anticipation of higher duties under t he
new tariff— mainly of sugar in the months prior to the
revised sugar schedule going into effect; next, the
great quantity of whiskey withdrawn from warehouse in
June, July and August 1894, to avoid the extra in
ternal revenui taxon whiskey, and, finally, the intense
industrial strain that has prevailed so long, growing
worse instead of better almost month by month during
a large portion of the late fiscal year until February, but
after that relaxing, very slowly at first, then, as herein
before described, more rapidly in the Eastern and Middle
States, but only felt within one or two months to any
considerable extent elsewhere.
In other words, it is plain enough that the industrial
conditions have not been such until quite recently as
to give any natural expansion to Government revenue;
they have been just the conditions that would prolong
the distribution and consumption of the over-supply
thrown on the m irket o f the two articles referred to
above and chiefly depended upon for addition d rev
enue.
We all know too that the depressed state of
business has not by any means even yet everywhere
been thrown off, A large part of our country has
scarcely felt the revival and cannot reap its benefits
but very partially for months yet.
Indeed until after
the corn crop of the Northwest has begun to be mar
keted no man can say that the enterprise and energies
of our people are in full operation an l the productive
ness of the new system of taxation is fully devel
oped.
l a the light of these facts look at the Government
revenue figures. If we keep to the facta we will not
get far astray either in the attempt to interpret the
past or to forecast the future. W e will give first the
Customs receipts. Iu the following statement we have
arranged them by months for the last two fis
cal years, adding also the average for each three

The foregoing covers the last half of 1893 made
memorable by the silver crisis which forced the legis
lation ending in the repeal of the purchase clause of the
1890 silver bill.
T his contest had been so prolonged
iu the Senate that even when tariff legislation began in
D.eeruber 1893 the Customs duties had through the
collapse of business fallen to the lowest point reached in
the two years with the exception of the months of June
and July 1894. We pass the figures for the fiscal year
of 1893-94 with the simple suggestion that they show
the effect on revenue of a loss iu business activity
while all the tax laws were unchanged. They are con
sequently something of a guide in reaching a ju d g 
ment as to the extent to which business depression has
been acting mare recently and is still acting in reduc
ing the productiveness of the present tax laws. Re
member that the Customs revenue under the same laws
that were in force in 1893-94 averaged #16,946,251
for the fiscal year 1892-93, against an average of
110,984,87? in 1893-94, Hence we see that business
depression did in th atmue reduce productiveness 35 per
cent.
If that condition was such a forceful contract
ing influence in 1893 and 1894 why should it not have
hud a like influence in 1895 and with its removal why
should uot revenue bu further enlarged? This is a fair
question and the answer we have made to it is a fair
inference.
As to 1894-95, the first event which imparted irreg
ularity to the Customs figures was the com pletion of
tariff legislation, the new act having become a law
August 28th. Hence withdrawals from warehouse of
imported goods were increased to some extent iu Aug
ust, more largely in September and in smaller amount
in October ; these withdrawals included some goods
held in bond to await lower duties and others which
wore taken out in anticipation of an enlarged consump
tive demand, which was not fully realized, and not
b.ing realized the excessive supplies subsequently aided
in keeping the Customs duties small. Another event
was that in January 1895 the woolen schedule went
into effect, and that fact, together with larger imports
in anticipation of greatly improved business in 1895,
added to the revenue in the next three months. The
total import- from .January to March, inclusive, were
195 million dollars, against 172 million dollars the last
three months of 1894 and 1074 million dollars from.
July to S eptember 1894, As we have alrea ly shown,
business did not revive to any considerable extent in
the first quarter of 1895, and hence these larger im 
port;, which were continued in April, in some measure
over-supplied the current demand and lessened the
movement in subsequent m onths; besides May-and
June imports are usually b-iow the year’s average.
These details are in themselves uninteresting, but
they are of use because they explain the irregularity
in the receipts from Oastoms daring previous months
and also clearly indicate that in the matter of general
imports there has been no special cause operating to
make the movement in July abnormally large, so that
whatever it crease there is shown to be must be due to

the oidinary trade itflu en ce. We do nos nuend 10 tie
understood as saying that Customs payments in the im
mediately succeeding months will show a large growth.
After so considerable an addition as we have in July it
would not be surprising if the total were a little smaller
for August. But in the autumn when business develops
and becomes more general, as it no doubt will, imports
will increase and Customs payments be further en
larged. This is a conclusion which the figures we have
given clearly establish.
Very little need be added with reference to the in
ternal revenue taxes. The wide variations in the re
ceipts from that source have been caused, incidentally
of course, by trade influences, but other than that al
most wholly by the tax on spirits, as we have fully ex
plained on former occasions. In July, however, the
addition to the total was in great part due to special
licenses, which we stated more than two months ago
(C h r o n ic l e May 25 1895, page 904,) always expire at
the close of the fiscal year and are renewed and chiefly
paid in July. It will be interesting to give the
monthly receipts from internal revenue sources in the
same form in which we gave the Customs dues.

The foregoing is instructive. First, it shows the in
fluence of the proposed increase in the whiskey tax by
Congress, beginning with February 1894, when the
bill passed the House, and ending with August of the
same year, when the Tariff bill became a law. In the
movement during that period we see the reason for the
very small average which up to July that branch of the
revenue service contributed, and also the ground for
the expectation that under the higher tax at.d improv
ing business the total internal revenue receipts will ex
ceed even the total for July, the mouth which has just
closed, before the fall months are ended.
With reference to the immediate future of this de
partment of revenues, it is to be said that August pay
ments will lose the amount contributed by the renewa
of licenses; expanding trade may though make this
loss in part good, but we hardly expect a total the
current month equal to that of July. One other
fact is worth mentioning. As the fiscal year ends with
Jane 30th, and as the figures usually published the first
of the month were on that account included in the June
total, July had one less day than August will have, and
this to a trifling extent will be favorable to the income
of the later month.

THE CHICAGO & N O R T H W ESTERN REPORT.
The Chicago & North AVestern report for the fisca^
year ending May 31 is a document of great intei'
est. Twelve months ago it was supposed that the pre
vious fiscal year had been a very trying one, and cer
tainly it was about as trying a period (speaking gener
ally) as any the radroad industry had ever been called
upon to endure. But it remained for the late year to
disclose a situation and condition of things worse even
than that for which the year 1893-94 had been distin
guished.

[V o l . LXT.

Business depression followiug the piu ic of 1893 and
intensified by the tariff uncertainties, the large gold
exports, the deficiency in Government revenues, and the
precarious condition of the National Treasury, would in
any event have prevented any material recovery in
revenues, if it did not actually entail a further loss.
But in addition there were other disturbing factors of
large magnitude. T oe great railroad strike in a u gu 
rated towards the close of June last year, and which in
July assumed such a threatening aspect, for the time
beiDg bringing railroad operations almost to a stand
still, was one of th ese; it interrupted trade and
travel, and imposed a great loss in revenues, brth gross
and net, upon the Chicago & North AVestern, the same
as upon other roads. Then came the widespread dis
aster to the crops. This involved in the case of the
section traversed by the Chicago & North AVestern the
spring-wheat crop and the corn crop— the two chief
crops in that section.
AVe have often during the last few months referred
to the extent and effects of this remarkable crop fail
ure.
In Iowa, where the North AVestern has 1,163
miles of road, the 1894 production of corn was only
about 81 million bushels, against 251 million bushels
in 1893, and in Nebraska, where 985 miles of the 1,300
miles comprised in the trans-Missouri system are
located, the corn yield was but 14 millioa bushels,
against 157 million bushels. In several of the other
States through which the lines of the system run there
was also a considerable shortage in corn, and the spring
wheat crop was likewise deficient.
AVhile this short
age necessarily greatly reduced the volume of the grain
tonnage of the road, the effects extended way beyond
this one item of freight.
The failure operated to re
strict very materially the purchasing and consuming
capacity of the people of that section. In Nebraska
part of the population was left in an actually desti
tute condition, so complete was the crop failure.
"Unfortunately, too, with the wheat yield below the
average the price of wheat was very low, curtailing
yet further the spending power of the farming
classes.
Still another drawback existed during
the twelve months.
In the preceding fiscal year
the company, in common with others, had had'
the advantage of a large passenger traffic from the
AVorld’ s Fair.
In 1894-5 this business was entirely
lacking, involving a large loss in passenger revenues on
that account, besides which the general passenger
movement, local and through, was reduced by the
business depression and the crop failure.
All these are conditions and influences from which
all the roads in that part of the country have suffered.
It is to be regretted that, owing to the inclusion of
the Milwaukee Lake Shore & AVestern in the
accounts of the N orth AVestern, it is not possible to
state the exact amount of loss in traffic and revenues
which the road has sustained during the last two years.
The annual report makes the decrease in gross earn
ings in 1894 95, as compared with 1893-94, 13,877,808, or 12-12 per cent. But for the reason mentioned
this falls short of showing the full amount of the de
crease. In the comparison the Milwaukee Lake Shore
& AVestern is iueluded
for the whole of 189495 hue for only the last nine months of 1893 94,.
AVe
estimate that on an even basis of mile
age
the loss in gross revenueswould be
in
the vicinity of $5,000,000. A t the same time
this
decrease
follows
a
very large decrease
in the year preceding. A ccording to the com-

A cgctst 3, 1"95.1

THE GHEONIOLE

■pany's
report for 1393-4 the decrease was only
$723,565. Bat ia that year the comparison was even
more disturbed than in the late year by the absorption
o f the L ik e Shore St Western, the operations of said
road being included for nine months of 1893-4, but
not at all for 1892-3.
We showed at the time
that on the basis of the same mileage the loss
would
have been $3,452,188,
instead of
only
$723,565.
Hence it follows that allowing for
the revenues of the Lake Shore & Western gross earn
ings o f the Chicago & North Western have fallen off,
roughly, in 1894 5 $5,000,000, after a falling off of
$3,500,000 in 1893-4, making for the two years a loss
of 84 million dollars. And this furnishes an idea at
once of the magnitude of the shrinkage in receipts and
o f theseverity of
the influences which produced
it. We may
add that themillion
dollars
loss does not include the trans-Missouri lines, where
there has been a farther decrease in the two years of a
million dollars.
The gross revenues constitute the only item where
we can approximate the loss. The net revenues and
all the items o f traffic statistics are affected in ths
same way, but we cannot eliminate the operations of
the Lake Shore & Western in those cases. We may
note, however, that passenger earnings in 1894-5, even
■with that road included for the whole year, were only
# 7, 041,691 agiinst $9,226,467 in the year preced
ing, when the additional mileage was included for only
nine month?, thus showing a decrease of $2,181,776,
or nearly 24 per cent.
A great part of this
falling off, we need hardly say. was duo to the
absence o f the World's Fair travel, which played
such a conspicuous part in the business of the previous
year. For instance, in round trip or excursion travel,
which in 1893 4 embraced the bulk of the World's
Fair passengers, the decrease was $1,675,079, or 64 per
cent. However, that business depression and the crop
failure also operated to reduce the passenger revenues
very materially is evident from the fact that while in
1894 5 on 5,031 miles the total of the passenger earn
ings was only a little over 7 million dollars, in 1892-3,
on 4,273 miles, the amount was almost 8 mil
lion dollars. As a matter of fact, notwithstanding
the addition of nearly 800 miles of road, the 1895
passenger earnings were the smallest of any year sines
1891.
The freight revenues for 1894-5 were only
$19,484,415 on 5,031 miles, against $23,377,715 and
$22,788,422 respectively for 1892-3 and 1891-2 on only
4,273 miles.
These comparisons help one to understand the occa
sion and the necessity for the redaction in dividends
which the company was obliged to make during the
late year. It has been, as we see, a most remarkable
period. The management, as we shall presently point
out, pursued a rigid policy of retrenchment and econ
omy, but of ooarss it was not possible to offset in that
way a loss of
million dollars in gross revenues dur
ing the last two years. Hence we find that even after
all the aaving in expenses the sum available for divi
dends m 1895 wa3 only $2,851,956, as against $4,307,544
in 1894 and $4,779,710 in 1893, and furthermore that
the amount wa3 the smallest of any year since 1879.
The company paid the usual dividend of 7 per caut on
the preferred stock, but, as will be rememberel, the
dividend on the common shares was reduced at both
semi-annual poriois— from 3 per cent to 2.^ per cent in
.Janaary, and then to 1J per cent in Jaly, making the
payment for the year on the common stock only 4 per

177

cent, against 6 per cent in the years preceding^ T u e ’
company did not even quite earn the 4 per cent, but
the deficiency is smaller than at one time seemed likely.
The preferred stock dividends called fo r #L,563,450,
deducting which there was left for the common stock
$1,283,506, equal to a little less than 3J per cent on
the $39,054,788 of stock outstanding. Tii9 company
paid 4 per cent, as said, calling for $1,562,096,
and for the balance of $273,590 drew on its accu
mulated surplus. X o account is taken in these fig
ures of the income of the land department nor of
the results of operations of the trans-Missouri lines.
The latter show for the late year a deficiency of
$332,195; the land department shows a net income
of $316,771, and the one may be regarded as offset
ting the other.
Considering the tremendous losses in earnings which
the road sustained, this is not a bad showing for the
year. It deserves to be mentioned, too, that the exper
ience o f the North Western has been no different from
that of its leading neighbors ; they have all had to re
duce dividends. The B iriia g to a & Quincy from a 5
per cent basis has come down to 4 per cent, the St. Paul
made the semiannual dividend on its common stock
last April only 1 per cent against 2 per ceut previously,
and the Rock Island has for some time bien giving its
stockholders only § psr cent each quarter instead o f
the old rate of 1 per cent.
A point of great interest and importance in the case
of all roads, where a policy of retrenchment i3 forced
upon the managers, is as to how the saving in expenses
has been effected. We know of course that with a
smaller volume of traffic the aggregate cost of doing
the wo^k will also be loss. But at such timss the man
agers are likewise obliged to reduce their yearly outlays
for repairs and renewals.
With roads like the
North West, whero a liberal policy in that respect has
been pursued in the past, such a course is comparatively
easy. In analyzing the company’s figures a year ago
we showed that while there had been a considerable re
duction in the repair and renewal outlays in 1893-4, the
saving bad been chiefly under one main head— namely,
under repairs and renewals of freight cars— and was
explained by the addition of a greatly diminished num
ber of new cars. In the late year of course, with the
further large loss in revenue, the process had to be car
ried to greater lengths.
As already pointed out, it is not possible to make d i
rect comparisons with preceding years, but bearing in
mind that results in 1894-95 are on an average of 5,031
miles, in 1893-94 on an average of 4,841 miles and in
1892-93 on an average of 4,273 miles, the figures for the
three years are nevertheless useful as showing the extent
to which this class of expenditures has been reduced.
On the larger mileage of 1895 the repair and renewal
outlays on locomotives wa3 only $973,852, against
$1,136,251 and $1,178,034 respectively on the smaller
mileage o f 1894 and 1893. On freight cars $878,559
was spent, against $1,082,009 in 1894 and $1,725,103 in
1893, and on roadway and track $2,419,818 against
$3,202,075 and $3,373,905 respectively, while under
tho various smaller heads the result has been much the
same.
In the following we bring forward a table
which wo gave la3t year, adding the figures for 1894 95.
A t t i e end of the table we show the number of loco
motives and of freight cars purchased or rebuilt each
year and charged to expenses. Bolling stock receiving
merely ordinary repairs is not included in the designa
tion rebuilt.

"""Altogether it will be seen the company spent in these
various ways for repairs and renewals in 1895 on 5,031
miles of road only $5,501,888, against $6,792,491 in
1894 on 4,841 miles and $7,857,213 in 1893 on 4,273
miles.
In connection with this great reduction it
should be remembered that many o f the supplies
needed in making repairs could be bought at lower
prices in the late year than in the years preceding and
that with a smaller volume of business, wear and repair
would also in many instances be less. Furthermore, it
may be accepted as a fact that the 1893 expenditures
in the above were exceptionally large. But allowing
for all this, it is still evident that the necessities of the
situation forced the management to retrench in an un
usual .way, which is of course true likewise of practi
cally all railroad properties.
In the last Burlington & Quincy report it was stated
that in reducing expenses during the past three years
repairs on rolling stock and buildings had not been
fully kept up, and that it was estimated that about
$1,000,000 ought to be expended to pat them in good
shape. President H ughitt, of the Horth West., on the
other hand, it is gratifying to note, is able to,,state in
the present report that “ notwithstanding the large
curtailment of expenditures in all departments as
compared with former recent years, made necessary by
the serious falling off in tonnage movement and passen
gers, the amount of material and labor expended has
"been sufficient to maintain the property in good condi
tion.5-’ Of course, however,-Mr. Hughitt must not be in
ferred as saying that repairs can be permanently kept at
the low figures of the late year. His declaration simply
means that owing to the high standard to which the
road and plant had been brought by the very free out
lays of previous years, it has been found possible tem
porarily to restrict the annual expenditures without
detriment to the property. We may suppose that the
management will think it prudent to enlarge these out
lays again with any considerable increase in business
and revenues.
The outlook now is for such an increase, and what
margin there is for a recovery is evident from the loss
of 8 j million dollars in gross earnings the last two
years. In truth, the fact which it is important to
remember above all others in studying the results of
this great system for the late year is that these results
furnish absolutely no criterion of the value or earning
capacity of the property. They reflect the outcome in
a year of very exceptional and wholly abnormal con
ditions. Happily, too, it seems likely that these con
ditions will soon belong entirely to the past. As every
one knows, trade and business have already greatly
improved all over the United States, and further de
cided progress in the same direction is being made
with each succeeding day. The road is also getting a
greatly increased tonnage in iron ore as the result of
the revival in the iron trade. Then coo the prospects
for the crops are extremely favorable. Should nothing

|Vol . L X I.

occur to mar these fine prospects between- now and
harvest, we may be sure that the showing for the cur
rent fiscal year will be totally different from that for
the year which we have just reviewed.

There is now no longer any doubt as to the result of
the British elections. It was our conviction that the
electors had become so tired of the home and foreign
policy of the Liberals that the Conservatives with
their allies, the Liberal Unionists, would be returned
in such numbers as would give them a strong working
majority in the House of Commons. We did not,
however, expect the result would prove so complete.
Ho such victory has been won by either of the great
political parties in many years. A majority of one
hundred and fifty is something marvellous; and in
ordinary circumstances such a preponderance o f politi
cal strength might justly be regarded as dangerous.
Tbe elections in themselves and in their results present.some features which are not unworthy of notice.
It is noteworthy, as has already been remarked in these
columns, that there was not much of a war cry on
either side. The Liberals had noth in g new to offer.
Home rule was not mentioned by them. On the ques
tion of disestablishment in Wales and in Scotland they
were silent. Whatever eloquence has been displayed
by them since the elections commenced has been fo o l
ishly directed against the House of Lords. The op
posite side had less need of either platform or pro
gramme. They had made no professions. They had
not, therefore, failed in the fulfilment o f their prom
ises. They were before the people asking their suf
frages because they had been resisting Badical legisla
tion. On that ground they still stood. The question,
therefore, before the country and demanding the at
tention of the electorate was the continuance of the pol
icy of the party in power, and the returns are an em
phatic answer to this question.
The result would have been unfortunate if the Con
servatives— the old Tory element—-had been strong
enough to enable them to shake off at will the LiberalUnionists. T o the Liberal-Unionists they are indebted
for all the success which has attended them so far.
But for them they would not have been able to offer re
sistance so effective to the aggressive policy of their op
ponents ; and the presence in the Cabinet of such men
as the Duke of Devonshire, the Marquis of Lansdowne,
Mr. G-oschen and Mr. Chamberlain, not to mention the
Unionist rank and file in both. Houses, ought to be a
powerful eounteractant against any policy of retrogres
sion. Toryism has not always been unwilling to yield
to popular dem and; but for active effort in the direction
of reform, it has never been the worse for the judicious
application of the Liberal whip. It has on more than
one occasion stolen the thunder of the W h ig s ; but as
a rule it has done so in order to save itself from destruc
tion. N or is it a matter of small consequence that the
Irish party no longer constitutes the balance of power.
Their strength was a source o f great annoyance to Mr.
Gladstone. Their comparative weakness will be a pos
itive advantage to Lord Salisbury. Much is expected
of the new G-overnment; and it is fortunate that Cabi
net Ministers find themselves in a position to meet ex
pectations.
There can be no doubt that the new government has
in store some surprises in regard to home affairs. It

i 3 quite true 'hat during hi3 last administration Lord
Salisbury did not perform wonders in the sphere of
home legislation. In the County aud the Parish
Councils, however, he inaugurated a great work of re
form— a work which is destined to be fru itfu l of good
for ages to come. But he was characteristically cau
tious and faithful to the antecedents of his party,
making no haste after change. He is placed now in
slightly different circumstances, and it will be neces
sary for him to do something to pleasehia Liberal asso
ciates. Men like Devonshire and Landsdowne and
Goschen, and others of their stamp both in and out of
office, will not be satisfied with a do-nothing policy.
The work of reform must go on in every part of the
three kingdoms, and something must be done for Ire
land.
Humors are already afloat of certain schemes—
schemes suggestive o f the younger and more aggressive
brain c f the First Lord of the Treasury than of the
less yielding disposition of the Cabinet Chief. The
Local Councils, which are working so well on the
larger island, are to be extended, it is said, to the
lesser; a United Catholic University is to be or
ganized under Government patronage and largely
aided
by
Government
money;
and
whatever
there is in Ireland having the appearance of an injus
tice— if such does not exist in England and Scotland—
Is to be removed. By way o f making Ireland yield
some compensation for those favors, the number of
members she sends to Westminster is to be considerably
reduced. This last arrangement it may be found diffi
cult to accomplish; for although, as compared with
Scotland particularly, Ireland has more members than
her constituency justifies, the existing number forms
a distinct stipulation in the act of union. Irishmen,
it may be found, while willing enough to accept the
favors, will giudge the payment, Time* may yet be
lively enough in the green isle; but it is to he hoped
that her people will give the Government a fair oppor
tunity to bring about a condition o f peace, content
ment and prosperity.
Great importance attaches to the foreign policy of
the new Government. For the last four or five year* so
much has the attention of Ministers and members of
Parliament been engaged with home affairs— engaged
unfortunately to but little purpose— that foreign affairs
to all intents and purposes have been neglected. The
result has been that a feeling of unrest, altogether un
favorable to the continuance of peace, has taken pos
session o f the nations. That high sense o f honor, too,
which was wont to characterize the foreign policy of
the civilized world has latterly, in some prominent
cases, been found wanting. There is something very
disgraceful in the feeling manifested by France towards
Great Britain in the matter of Egypt. France would
do nothing when men and money were required to
save Egypt from ruin. But France would like to
share all
the
benefits which
have
resulted
from the magnanimous and self-sacrificing work which
England accomplished single-handed and alone. There
is something oven more reprehensible if possible in the
conduct of Russia toward Japan, In some respects Rus
sia's behavior in this matter is one of the most inde
fensible in modern history. We see the beginnings of what
may prove similar wrong doing by the great Northern
power in regard to Italy and in the matter of
Abyssinia. Such things could not have happened in
the days of Lord Palmerstone, who in his day nobly
upheld the honor of England. They could not have

happened when Lord Beaconsfield was at the head of
affairs.
Lord Salisbury, on whom the mantle of
Beaconsfield has fallen, is not likely to be found want
ing in present circninstances. It is time the voice of
England were heard in foreign affairs ; and from pres
ent indications we are not likely to have long to wait.
The first words have already been uttered ; and they
have not been uttered in vain. Turkey has been spoken
to in the matter of Armenia, and has been told that
delay will no longer be tolerated. As a result we are
informed that the Sultan’ s Government has decided to
accept in their entirety the Armenian reforms proposed
by the Powers. We wait to hear the same voice speak
to France and to Russia ; and we feel satisfied that as
the result there will be less bravado and more fair play.
We have no fear of war. England does not court it ;
and neither France nor Russia, for reasons well known
to themselves, will provoke it.

A C T IV IT Y I X B U ILD IN G .
It is perhaps not surprising that with trade and
business revivin'? everywhere there should be evidence
also of a considerable expansion in building operations
here in New York City. According to the records,
the work of erecting new buildings in this centre
is apparently being prosecuted on a perfectly sur
prising scale. But it will be well to see if some special
circumstance or condition has not affected the result
to such an extent as to qualify somewhat the conclu
sions to be drawn from it. Of course building goes on
all the time, whether the general trade situation is
good or bad, but the extent o f the movement is gov
erned very largely nevertheless by the trade situation.
Last year, when onr industries were depressed bsyond
precedent, the building operations reflected that fact,
and the projects file 1 for the erection of new buildings
were the smallest in a good many years. The present
year we have not only a recovery, but an increase so
pronounced and general a* to place 1895 way ahead of
all other recent years, both in the number and aggre
gate cost of the new buildings planned.
This work of erecting new buildings is so important
m itself and plays such a prominent part in affecting
so many trades, it is surprising that the figures do not
receive more attention from time to time. The ' ‘ Record
and G uide'’ of this city has recently published the sta
tistics for the first six months of the year, and in view
of the fact that the figures, as already said, reveal a very
great increase, and that they seem to have escaped
notice, it will be well to give them a little considera
tion. In brief we may say that the statistics show that
plans were filed in the six months for 2,5(12 new build
ings to cost 159,301,801, against plans for only 1,297
buildings to cost but $27,779,1(10 in the same six
months of last year. The number ©f buildings ha3
just about doubled, the estimated cost considerably
more than doubled. In other words, should these p ro
jects all be carried to completion, they would provide
for the expenditure of 311 million dollars more than
the projects undertaken in the first half of 1894. We
need hardly say that this additional expenditure, if
made, would mean a very great stimulus to all branches
of trade. Of course the present is the season most
favorable for building, but such new projects, bo their
number or their cost large or small, always provide
work for a considerable time to come, and besides
many of the structures in all periods require many
months for their completion.

lxt,

We have already shown that the statistics them
selves are not open to doubt. The question still
remains to be answered, however, why are the totals so
very large ? Mere trade revival will not account for
it. Speculation has some times played a large part in
swelling the aggregates. We know of no speculative
considerations that would have prompted the launch
ing of new projects on an extensive scale the present
year. But the Legislature at its last session was con
sidering and finally passed an amendment to the build
ing laws, providing more stringent regulations regard
ing the erection of tenement houses. Bearing that in
mind, it is rather significant that a large part of the
total
increase for the
six
months is found
under the head of "fla ts and tenements.” Plans
were filed for 1,519 of these in 1895 to cost $33,708,200,
against only 393 in 1894 to cost $7,794,550 and 527 in
1893 to cost $11,365,800. Here is an increase over
1894 of 26 million dollars and over 1893 of 22 million
dollars. This of course suggests that a good many
plans were filed in anticipation of the new law and to
get the advantage of the less stringent provisions of
the old law. I f this surmise be correct— and it is fu r
ther supported by the fact that the new law went into
effect on the 29th of May and that in the next month
(June) there was at once a marked falling off— then a
good many of the building projects for which plans
have been filed may not be immediately carried out
and some perhaps never be carried out.
Still, the increase shown in the building projects can
not all be explained in that way. There has been a
considerable addition in some of the other classes of
buildings, and this there is no reason to suppose has
been swelled by any fictitious element. For instance,
the present year’s projects cover 683 private dwellings
to cost $6,836,000, against 550 to cost $6,045,460 in
3894, and 126 office buildings, hotels, stores, &c., to
cost $17,442,200, against only 116 to cost $12,650,350
in 1894. On the whole, therefore, the conclusion is
that there is a considerable increase in projects which
it is intended to carry to completion, but no such in
crease as appears by the face of the figures.

scale.
That the statistics are not open to question is evident
from a statement which has comeCrom the Bureau of
Statistics of Labor at Albany. We are not informed
as to the purpose which the Labor Bureau has in view
in dabbling in the building statistics in this city, but
at any rate the Bureau has prepared a statement of
that kind. This statement makes the number of
buildings for which plans and specifications were filed
in the half-year of 1895 2,565, against 1,302 in the halfyear of 1894, and the estimated cost $60,463,804,
against $27,819,935. Here the 1895 total is larger
even than that o f the “ Record and Guide,” and we
may add that the Bureau also has aggregated the cost
o f alterations to buildings, which it reports at $6,550,598 for the six months of this year, against $3,005,184
for the six months of last year. We prefer, however,
to use the figures of the “ Record and Guide,” as that
journal has been engaged in the work for a good many
years and its statistics extend back over a long7period
o f time.
I f there were an increase only as compared with
1894 the fact would not possess special significance,
last year's total having been small. But as a matter
of fact the 1895 total, as already said, is considerably
in excess of the totals for the years preceding too. As
against the 2,562 buildings provided for in 1895, the
number in 1893 was only 1,552, in 1892 1,814, in 1891
1,589. The estimated cost in 1893 was $43,007,813,
which included the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, to
cost $5,000,000, and St. Luke’ s Hospital, to cost
$1,000,000. Eliminating the Cathedral, the aggregate
for 1893 is reduced to $38,007,813, while for 1895, as
we have seen, the amount is $59,201,804; in 1892 the
plans provided for an expenditure of $39,252,583, in
1891 for $34,500,816. Henc8 the present year’ s aggre
gate is very much higher than that for any of these
preceding years.
Tfie following shows the figures for
each of the six months for the last four years. It will
be observed that there is an increase over 1894 both
in number and cost for every month except June,
which exception, however, as we shall presently see, is
rather significant.

and so on. This gives the substance of the thought
Mr. Ashley pursues in the early part of his argument.
Some of the conclusions of the article are not just such
as we should have reached. But with reference to
those matters it is to be said that Mr, Ashley was

that the admission he makes is such an important one.

coinage of silver by the United States alone.

Of course a tem

that speculative, and temporary movement, the course

there is
no need for elaborating them again. If any friend
of silver thinks we are in error and that silver

peace has been practically established between Japan aud
China, and among other conditions required by Japan are the
opening of five more treaty ports to all nations, the introduc

goods and materials.
From what I can read and gather from others, if the stipu

various kinds and classes. Now, while we know that Eng
land and Germany have in the past catered in style, quality,
prejudice and manner of putting up of articles to people of
other countries, and therefore secured a larger part of foreign
trade than ourselves, is there not, under the new condition of
things, a possibility for a great extension and expansion of
trade from this country with China and Japan, the former in
the cruder and coarser goods, the latter in finer and “ more
civilized” articles? Allowing for the moment this to be so,
will not our shipping ports on the Pacific Coast, particularly
Seattle and Tacoma, gain much from this, not only from the
freight of the East, hut what is produced or raised in their
own vicinity? Having been here so recently, you are well
able to judge of conditions and trend o f matters in connection
with Chinese trade, and I would be glad to have you at your
leisure write me a reply to this such as I could show or sub
mit to others, and also give me a general outline of the sort
and kind of exports this country could with profit send to the
East, and how it would be done ; in what manner would pay
ment be made—that is through a firm such as yours acting as
a commission house—and would there be any mrney in it for
you ; and where, if at all, the bank or firm on this end would
“ come in ? ”
Another factor in this, in the course of a few years, will be
the imports from China and Japan by our people of not only
staple and necessary articles, but expensive and high-class
goods, curios and bric-a-brac so-called; for as soon as times
improve, and they are fast doing so, money will be made, as
in the past, by “ new people” who will want all these things
and will spend their surplus wealth freely.

culpable folly in not taking steps to avail of the new method*
of defending itself by the introduction of modern arms and
tactics and later-day modes of inland transport. China is a
huge lethargic pachyderm and so inert and nerveless as
never to have been thoroughly aroused to the fact that it has
had on its hands a war that dangerously threatened its very
existence and pointed to its eventual partition among the
leading powers of the world.
The great jealousy existing between one province and an
other, or rather the governors thereof, and between the dif
ferent political cliques at Peking acts as a great bar to the in
troduction of reform and progressive works. The development
of mines, establishment of factories and building of railways
would add so much to the power and wealth o f any chosen
province that the mandarindom of other provinces unite
together to put a damper upon any progressive spirit that
manifests itself. There is a difference of opinion as to
whether all of China’s resources will be so taxed to pay
Japan’s indemnity that there will be nothing left for home
improvements, or she will proceed at once to put her affairs
in order and the Government make amends for its failure to
protect in the past her borders from foreign attack. A n oldfashioned middle course I think will be adopted, and we
shall see some funds available for forts, guns and a new
navy. The United States may, if manufacturers are ener
getic and able to compete with Europe in price, obtain a
share of this work, and it is to those only interested in armed
ships, fortifications and guns that the present condition of
China especially appeals.
In a country like the United States, of such high return*
for interest on capital, foreign loan mongering has no place.

H ong K ong, June 17th, 1895.
M r < -------------, N e w Y o r k .

D ear S i r - I had the pleasure of receiving from you by the

mail-, before the last a letter of inquiry as to the probable
alteration or expansion of trade in China, in particular with
the United States, consequent upon the conclusion of the
Chino-Japanese War.
My own very definite opinion, on the assumption that the
war is really now terminated, is that no or very little change
will come over the commercial relations of the United States
and China that would not have occurred had the war never
taken place.
As regards imports here, with the exception of flour,
kerosene oil and ginseng, America seems to produce very little
that the Chinese need, and of these three articles of mer
chandise kerosene is the only one in what may be called
universal use, as ginseng aud flour practically go to Hong
Kong alone.
The expansion of the oil trade will probably proceed as in
the past decade, checked or encouraged momentarily by the
usual factors, fluctuations in price, changes in internal taxa
tion and foreign competition. The American oil trade now
concerns only the consumers and the Standard Oil Company,
and though the largest in volume of any item in China’s im
port trade, for that reason is of small interest to the mercan
tile body.*
v
Flour is persistently making its way as an important article
of food supply in South China and Hong Kong, the latter
being a distributing point to the Philippine!, Indo-China and
the Straits. The Northern Chinese have not as yet taken
seriously to wheat bread and cakes, mainly owing, we sup
pose, to climatic reasons. All the flour comes from the
Pacific Slope, California, Oregon and Washington, and the
trade is constantly increasing by reason of the many shipping
facilities and the reduced cost of milling in the wheat-grow
ing country. The business is not general among foreign firms
in China, and is mostly in the hands of local agents of the
mills, who sell directly to the Chinese.!
Ginseng comes principally from the Middle and Western
States, and trade in it remains stationary, owing to the gradual
extinction of the plant, which cannot be grown artifically
with success. The quantity imported is about the same last
year as for the few years immediately preceding, and the
gold price has varied to about the same extent.
One foreign firm, our own, does one-third of the trade, and
the Chinese the rest. The imported value for 1894 was about
§9,000,000 (Mexican.) The effects of the war were very slight.
In the export trade the leading features are silk, tea, matting,
straw, braid, rugs and furs, and Canton sundries, comprising
fire-crackers, cassia, palm leaf fans, etc. As far as my ob
servation goes, not a single one of these commodities lias been
affected in production or price by the war. Formosa tea,
owing to the peculiar state of affairs in that island, may
prove an exception, but Formosa is now Japan, or rather is in
process of becoming so. Shipments of all the different mer
chandise mentioned go on in a perfectlv steady and natural
way, slow ly increasing year by year, the' emolument to the
merchant remaining the same, as the cutting of commissions
and profits about keep pace with the increase in value, and
there are no more merchants now than there were ten years
ago.
The war has done very little towards awakening China to
a proper sense of its backwardness in civilization and to its

{From our own oorreapondent.)
London. Saturday, July 30, 1805.
The long continuance of cheap money is stimulating the
bringing out o f new issues, as was to have been expected,
Messrs.Brown,Shipley & Co. are offering nearly 7 million dollarg
of Lehigh Volley Coal Co. gold bonds, guaranteed by the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company; Messrs. Rothschild are offering 6
millions sterling o f Brazilian Government bonds; a number of
new railroad enterprises in India are being brought out; there
ia talk of another Chilian loan before long; and several
colonial loans are in preparation. AH this goes to prove that
confidence here is completely restored and that the investing
public now- is prepared to give ail necessary accommodation
to foreign countries and to foreign enterprises, it is under
stood even that large applications have been made from Lon
don for the new Chinese loan. The loan is not offered in
London, but three of the great French banks which have
1*dices here are accepting applications from their customers.
The silver market is rather dull, with a drooping tendency,
The impression gains ground that very little silver will be re
mitted to Chinn. Nothing oilicial has yet been announced,
but the belief in Paris, as well os in London, is that the whole
of the proceeds of the loan will be at once handed over to
Japan, and it is thought that Japan will spend the money in
Europe, partly to pay off loans incurred during the war and
partly to strengthen the army and navy. Still the India
Council is selling its drafts faitly well. On Wednesday it of
fered 00 lakhs. The applications were for about two and onehalf limes as much, and the whole amount was sold at is.
1 5-82d. per rupee as the minimum price, one-half indeed
being placed at Is. 1 3-16*1. The applications for the drafts
are largely on Chinese account. It is probable, however, that
the new Indian railway enterprises that are being started in
considerable numbers will by and by strengthen exchange.
The bank dividends for the first half of the year have now
been all announced, and upon the whole they are better than
might have teen expected. The purely London banka, like
the London & Westminster, the London Joint Stock, and the
Union of London, all distribute at the rate of 1 per cent per
annum less than twelve months ago. The banks that are
partly metropolitan and partly provincial have not suffered
quite ao much, but as a rule they also pay leas dividends.
The purely provincial bank', on the other hand, have fairly
well maintained their rates of dividend, A few of them pay
considerably less, but as a rule they distribute about the same
amounts, Of course it is to be recollected that the competi
tion is not as great in the provinces as in London, and that

consequently the old customary rates are generally main
tained. For the half-year the average rate of discount for
three-months’ bank bills in the open market has been only
about 17a. per cent, whereas in the lirst half of last year it
was 26s. 6d., and short loans have ranged between % and %
per cent—considerably less than in the first half of last year.
Only a few railway dividends have yet been announced.
These, however, are rather better than had been looked for
in the market. It was known that there would be a reduction
in most case?, partly because of the increased fixed charges.
But it is found that so far, at all events, the companies have
been able to make reductions in their working expenses.
Trade throughout the country is decidedly improving.
Especially the woollen manufacturer is very active, and the
wool auctions which have been going on since the beginning
of the month are well attended and the rise in prices is well
maintained. The buying for the United States is exception
ally good. The Continent is not buying so much this week as
last week ; but the buying for home account is very large.
The elections for members of the new Parliament began on
last Saturday morning and they have continued all through
the week, one result being much less activity upon the Stock
Exchange than before they began. The city is greatly pleased
with the Conservative victory, and probably markets will be
strengthened by and by. But the holiday season is now be
ginning and attendance in the Stock Exchange must be ex
pected to be small for the next two months. Investment in
good American bonds is decidedly increasing, and there is a
fair amount of activity in tie share market likewise, but the
business is purely professional. The general public is still
holding alcof. There is no doubt that business would increase
rapidly if it came to be believed that sound money would be
maintained. But while doubt as to what Congress may do
continues, the general public will probably remain timid. In
vestment in bonds, however, is sure to go on unless, of course,
alarm returns in the United States itself.
In the South African department there is still active buy
ing—not quite so much of course as before the elections be
gan, but still there is very considerable activity for an elec
tion time and the season of the year. Price?, too, are exceed
ingly well maintained.
Outside of these two departments there is scarcely anything
doing. The murder of M. Stambuioff, the renewed activity
of the Russian Pan-Slavists everywhere, the agitation in Ar
menia and Macedonia, and the unsettled state of Servia, are all
deterring operators on the Continental bourses. That the
Chinese loan has been a success cannot be doubted, for every
thing possible has been done by the French banks to make
it so.
Besides, the issue itself is attractive.
It
is secured upon the Chinese Customs and has, be
sides, a Russian guarantee, and it yields rather more
than 4 per cent. But in spite of the great success of this issue
business is quiet in Paris and Berlin, and there is a more
anxious feeling than has prevailed for some time. The belief
continues that peace will be maintained, but at the same time
every one recognizes that the state of things in the Balkan
Peninsula and in Asia Minor is exceedingly dangerous. And
the attitude of Japan likewise inspires some apprehension.
Probably there is a good deal of exaggeration in the reports
that reach this country; but there appears to be no doubt that
there is great indignation throughout Japan at the action of
Russia ; and it is reported that Russia is sending out freth
ironclads and is insisting upon the immediate withdrawal of
the Japanese troops from all Chinese territory.
Rumors too of political troubles in South America are re
newed. There appears to be no foundation for them. A p 
parently the Brazilian Government is making progress in the
pacification of the country, and strong assurances are given,
both by Chili and Argentina, that the disputes between them
will be settled amicably. Still the Uruguayan Government
affects to believe that war will break out, and two million
dollars have been voted by the Uruguayan Assembly to in
crease the army. The Brazilian loan announced to-day has
not been very well received, being quoted at only
to %
premium.
It may be mentioned that the success of the Conservatives
at the elections is regarded as putting local veto out of the
range of practical politics for a long time to come, and the
values of brewery shares and of public house property are
rising in value, the improvement during the past week al
ready having been considerable.

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—No new
features of importance have developed during the week to
affect the markets or change the course of business in Wall
Street. While the principal activity in the stock market is
due to the speculative element, there continues to be a de
mand for investment securities which absorbs all the offer
ings of that class.
The certainty of a very large yield o f spring wheat and
the growing assurance of a bountiful corn crop are facts
which, although not new, ai’e the most important factors to
day in the general situation.
It is pleasant to note that progress is being made in the
reorganization of some of the important companies now in
receivers’ hands, and it is hoped that we may soon see the
Beading, Erie and Northern Pacific following in the line of
New England, Atchison and the U. S. Cordage Company.
The rnanket for both bonds and stocks has been weak to-day
and declines were general. The movement was stimulated
by the withdrawal of over $2 ,0 0 0 , 0 0 0 of gold from the sub
treasury, a considerable part of which is for export.
There is an increasing demand for loans by banks in the
South and West, which will no doubt soon be reflected in
advancing rates in this market.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 1 to 1 % per
cent. To-day’s rates on call were 1 per cent. Prime com
mercial paper is quoted at 3 to 4 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed an increase in bullion of £172,636, and the percentage
of reserve to liabilities was 57’76 against 59’ 04, last week; the
discount rate remains unchanged at 2 per cent. The Bank of
France shows a decrease of 1,950,000 francs in gold and
an increase of 875,000 francs in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of July 27 showed an increasein the reserve held of $4,161,600 and a surplus over the required reserve of $41,996,575
against $38,491,125 the previous week.

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
has been fairly active and was strong during the early part
of the week, especially for the railroad list. The increasing
prospect o f an abundant harvest has caused the granger
stocks to advance to a higher level o f prices. The Atchison
and other Southwestern shares have continued active and
strong, Mo. Pac. having advanced 3 points on liberal buy
ing, as the plan for funding the floating debt is succeeding.
There is no change in the unfortunate coal situation, and the
coal stocks have been neglected but without material change
in prices. Louisville & Nash, has advanced about 2 points
on good buying, stimulated no doubt by recent developments
in the financiering o f the company. Some of the low-priced
stooks, including Lake Erie & Western, New York Susq. &
Western, Wheeling & Lake Erie, C. G. C. & St. Louis, Minn.
& St. Louis, Mobile & Ohio and P. C. C. & St. Louis, have
been more active than usual.
The speculative industrials have been the most active stocks
in the market. Am. Sugar advanced from 113% at the close
last week to 118 on Thursday, and closes to-day at 113%.
Chicago Gas is over 2 points higher, and there is no reason
known to the public for any change in the value of either of
these stocks. General Electric lias gained about a point.
Tenn. Coal & Iron has been strong on limited sales. U. S.
Leather has been unsteady, the preferred fluctuating between
8 8
and 85. U. S. Cordage shares advanced rapidly on
Thursday when it became known that a sufficient amount of
securities had been deposited under the plan of reorganization
to make the same operative.

report of the F. & P. M. for the year ending December 31,
1894, showed $101,729 to that date invested in the Monroe &
Toledo, for securing rights of way. etc. The company, how
ever, has not felt disposed to push the extension until the
floating debt, amounting in bills payable to $765,327, January

for.—V. 58, p. 710.

meeting i f the certificate bolder* will therefore be held at
ihe office of Mes-t*. Simon Borg & Co., New York City,
August 26. 1885. for tbe purpose of ratifying the action of
tbe committee in accepting participation in said plan. In

Southern Central.—The reorganization committee, of
which Simon Borg is chairman, announces that the time for
depositing lomls with the Metropolitan Trust Company has
been extended to Aug. 15, which i3 the last day on which
bonds will be received for deposit.—V . 61, p. 28, *
Toronto Hamilton k Buffalo.—Arrangements have been
completed to extend this road at both ends to make it a
through line between Buffalo and Toronto via Hamilton, a
total distance of 122 miles. The Canadian Government

Union Pacific.—A dispatch from Omaha July 29 says that
Special Master Cornish has died a report in the two Union
Pacific cases. Edward Sheldon, attorney for the trustees of
the D enver E xten sion bonds prayed on January 25 for an or
der for the Receivers to pay certain interest on those bonds.
Judge Cornish recommends that the petition be denied on the
ground that there was not sufficient funds to the crtdil: of
that mortgage division to pay the interest in default. The
second report refers to tbe non-payment of tie taxes on the
K a n ta s C ity <& Omaha road. Taxes were delinquent for
1894 in February, and the bondholders filed a prayer with
the Court calling upon tbe receivers to pay overdue taxes.
Judge Cornish denies the petition for the reason that he finds
no funds available for tbe purpose prayed for by the bond
holders. The cases were heard in New York.—V, 61, p. 153.

THE CHRONICLE.

Unadilla V alley.-T h is railroad, runningfrom Bridgewater
to New Berlin, N, Y ., a distance of 20 miles, was formally
opened on Thursday. By means of the new road the Dela
ware Lackawanna & Western obtains a connection with the
New Berlin branch of the New York Ontario & Western Rail
road. The road was chartered in 1890.
United States Cordage —The com p a n y's reo rg a n iza tio n
com m ittee announces that there have been deposited with the
Manhattan Trust Company under the plan of reorganization
more than a majority of the outstanding bonds of the United
States Cordage Company, and also more than 70 per cent of
the guaranteed, preferred and common stocks of said com
pany. The committee has therefore declared said plan of re
organization operative.
The bondholders’ com m ittee say that even if it be true, as
announced, that the company’s committee has received a
majority of the Cordage bonds, that fact does not in any re
spect alter the purposes of the bondholders’ committee, who
intend to prosecute the plan announced by them and who
have sufficient support to enable them to carry it out. A
mere majority of bonds, they say, gives no practical advan
tage to the party holding them in the face of an amount so
large as that held by the bondholders’ committee and others
who have not joined the Waterbury plan.—Y. 61, p. 153,
United States Leather.—The executive committee, “ in
view of the misleading reports which have recently ap
peared,” has sent to the stockholders a circular in which the
statements quoted in the C h r o n i c l e of July 20 (p. 114) are
repeated. They also say the company “ will be glad to ex
plain any item” in the annual report issued in February last
“ needing elucidation, or to give upon personal application of
stockholders such general information as can be reasonably
asked for.” The circular closes with the following:
Tlie sta tu s o f the $ 4 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 bonds unissued, and in the treasu ry is

Talley RR. o f Ohio—Baltimore & Ohio.—The Court yes
terday granted a decree for the foreclosure sale of the Valley
RR. of Ohio.
Washington Connty Railroad (o f Maine).—The citizens
of Washington County, Me., this week voted largely in favor
of the proposition to subscribe to $500,000 of the company’s
preferred stock, as authorized to do by the last legislature.
The projectors are said to have secured also private subscrip
tions for a considerable portion of an additional $2 0 0 , 0 0 0 of
the stock, and the chances of the road being constructed
are considered good. The project is a reorganization of the
Shore Lice RR. Co. The line is to extend from a connection
with the Maine Central across Washington County as near
the coast line as practicable to Calais and Eastport on the
eastern boundary line of Maine. Mr. George A. Curran, of
Portland, Me., is President of the new company and the pro
jectors include Messrs. S. H. Leavitt, S. D. Leavitt, N. A.
Nutt, G. A. Murchie, E. B. Curtis and T. W. Cooper. Wash
ington County is the most eastern county of Maine and up to
the present time has enjoyed railroad facilities only on its
northern, eastern and western borders.
—The Reorganization Committee of the Fort Worth & Den
ver City Railway Co. gives notice to the holders of the first
mortgage bonds that deposits should be promptly made with
the Mercantile Trust Co. in exchange for its negotiable cer
tificates, and-those who have not received the circular of the
Reorganization Committee, showing the necessity of an im
mediate deposit in order to protect the property, will be fur
nished with it on application to the Mercantile Trust Co. or a'
the office of the Company, No. 1 Broadway, New York City.
—The Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. having called in
for payment the entire issue of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Co. ten-forty adjustment mortgage bonds, dated Oct
ober 2, 1884, on the first day of February, 1886, Messrs. Au
gust Belmont & Co. give notice that they are prepared to pur
chase such bonds in anticipation of payment by the company
at a price equal to their redemption value on that date, less
a discount of 3 per cent per annum.
—Messrs. Griswold & Gillett offer a limited amount of first
mortgage 5 per cent 30-year gold bonds of the Centralia &
Chester Railroad Company of Illinois at 92% and accrued
interest, at which price they will pay the investor over 5%
per cent. These bonds are not a new security, as the twelfth
coupon was paid at the Farmers’ Loan & Trust Company,
trustee of the mortgage, on July 1. A map of the line will be
found in our I n v e s t o r s ’ S u p p l e m e n t .
—Mr, Henry P. Davison has been appointed cashier of the

The gross earnings from passengers amounted to $7,041,691 43 against $9,220,406 90 in the preceding year, being a
decrease of $2,181,775 47, or 23 65-100 per cent; this decrease
was equivalent to 38 26 1 0 0 per cent of the total losses which
the Company sustained upon all of it* traffic during the year,
and was, for the most part, the result o f general dulness and
local inactivity which followed closely upon the discontinuance
of the large movement of the World's Fair travel in the pre
ceding year.
In detail the decrease in earnings from first class passen
gers was $404,356 55, or 7 56-100 per ce n t: in round tup aud

great bulk of World's Fair passengers, the decrease amounted
to $1,675,079 00, or 64 per cent: In the earnings from commu
tation travel the decrease waa $99,77656, o r 8 34 per cent and in
parlor car travel the decrease was $4,918 51. or 1852-100 per cent;
there waa a small gain of #8,255 15 in receipts from second
class passengers, caused by the relatively longer haul of the
travel compared with that o f the preceding year.
The number of passengers carried was 15,117,20*% a com

against 12,949,382 tons in the preceding year; an increase of
878,524 tone, or 6 73-100 per cent; this increase was derived
principally from a partial revival of iron ore tonnage during
the season of lake navigation, and a moderate amount came
from the movement of iron products, stone, brick, lumber,
and other coarse and miscellaneous commodities.
The average fita received per ton was §1 41 against §1 64 in
previous year, a decrease of 23 cents per ton, or 14 2-100 per

There has been increased inquiry for bulk parcels of many
descriptions of staple merchandise and ,j ibbers and retailers
generally appear anout ready to commence renewal of work
ing assortments. All recent gains in value have bsen well
sustained and additional business has in some instances served
as stimulus for further advance in prices. A few labor
troubles have developed during the week,-but as a rule em
ployers manifest a disposition to grant reasonable requests
from workmen. Variabli weather ha3 prevailed over most
latitudes during the week, but there is no evidence to indi
cate that growing crops have suffered any appreciable injury.
The marketing of new wheat continues very slow.
The following is a comparative statement of stocks of

G EN ER AL REM ARKS.

In the Land Department the sales consisted of 15,755 99-100
acres and 467 lots, which were sold upon the usual terms for
the consideration of $152,676 07. The average rate received
was $10 15 per acre for lands in the Minnesota Grant, $3 37
per acre for lands in Michigan, $4 50 for lands in Wisconsin
and $1 97 per acre for Ashland Division lands.
The net land income amounted to $316,770 85, including
sales of sundry miscellaneous lands, for which the sum of
$17,740 05 was realized and credited to construction account.
The quantity of all lands remaining on the 31st of May,
1895, was 967,855 82-100 acres, of which 231,490 88-100 acres
had been sold under contracts still running, and 736,364 94-100
acres were unsold lands.
The outstanding amounts unpaid to the Land Department
on the 31st of May last for lands and lots sold under contracts
were $1,247,758 11.
These transactions do not include the lands of the St. Paul
Eastern Grand Trunk Ry. Co., of inconsiderable amount,
which are set over to the credit of that company.
There was a large reduction in the amount expended on
eonstruction account, and for new equipment and permanent
improvements, during the year; additional facilities were
acquired by the building of 36 51-100 miles of side tracks, at a
cost of $143,565 66; the sum of $19,894 33 was paid for right
cf way; $52,659 62 was expended for account of second track;
$90,313 90 for equipment; $71,112 40 as the first outlay fcr
elevation of track in Chicago; $103,579 59 for iron ore docks
and wharves at Ashland, and $104,655 05 was expended for
various other permanent improvements on the Company’s
property.
The gross earnings per mile of road averaged $5,587 28,
against $6,6i'6 87 per mile in the preceding year, being a de
crease of $1,019 69 pir mile, equal to 15 43-100 per cent; oper
ating expenses and taxes were reduced from the average of
$4,318 62 per mile in the preceding vear to $3,679 69, making
a saving of $638 93 per mile, or 14 79-100 per cent.
The rate of operating expenses to gross earnings was
62 27-100 per cent and of operating expenses and taxes
65 86-100 per cent, against 62 11-100 per cent and 65 37-100 per
cent, respectively, in the previous year,
The fiscal year covered by this report was marked by a series
of adverse circumstances, which greatly reduced both freight
and passenger earnings. A t its beginning business had not
recovered from the general depression of the previous two
years, when freight earnings had fallen off with the decline
of numerous industries, and the situation, with respect to
passenger traffic, was only relieved by the exceptional move
ment of World’s Fair travel. These existing conditions were
soon aggravated by the formidable labor strike which origi
nated at the Pullman Car shops, and, in spreading, involved
the Company’s lines in common with other roads at Chicago
and throughout the West, to the interruption of communica
tion, trade and travel, with corresponding loss of revenue.
This disturbance was followed by the unparalleled and
almost complete failure of the crops in Iowa, Nebraska and
South Dakota, and by less general failure in other regions
served by the Company’s system of roads, and the immense
volume of tonnage dependent upon the movement of agricul
tural products, and the consequent prosperity attending the
same were lost to the year’s business, and the result is shown
in the unusual decline of receipts, both in freight and passen
ger earnings.
Notwithstanding the large curtailment of expenditures in
ali departments as compared with former recent years, made
necessary by the serious falling off in tonnage movement and
passengers, the amount of m iterial and labor expended has
been sufficient to maintain the property in good conditi m.
The usual detailed statements, tables and statistics showing
the results of the year’s business, and the reports of the Land
Commissioner, and of the Fremont Elkborn & Missouri Valley Railroad Company, will be found in the accompanying
pages.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market has
been irregular. At commencement of week business was un
usually dull with tone easy, but demand subsequently re
vived and prices advanced in consequence of an increased
consuming demand for cstton and an unfavorable construc
tion placed upon crop advices from the South. Saturday
brought only limited trading, confined mainly to settling up
-mall deals for the week, and prices declined 3@3 points.
About the same decline took place on Monday without really
any new features -hown, and on Tuesday trading was so light
that scarcely a fluctuation took p lace; closing rates were
same a- preceding day. On Wednesday, however, there was
a sharp change for the better, stimulated by unexpectedly
poor showing in tiovernment weather report and increased
demand from Eastern spinners, influences that served to
stimulate a net gain of 6.37 points. Yesterday the same gen
eral icfluenc* -. fortified by stronger cable advices, created
further buoyancy, with 12(313 points adlitional advance
made. To-dsy the demand was generally less active and
with some selling to realize prices receded about 5 points.
Cotton on the spot is steady at 7) jo. for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 409,7C0
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
33,417 bales, including 2,149 for export, 5,893 for consumption,
— for speculation and 18,900 on contract. The following are
the official quotations for each day of the past week—
July 27 to August 2.

W e have received this week the full text of the decision of
Judge Ross of the United States Circuit Court of Southern Cali
fornia, declaring invalid the Wright Irrigation District Law,
The decision is an important one to investors in general and
particularly to those interested in the irrigation schemes of
our Western States.
The “ District Irrigation L a w ” o f California, popularly
known as the “ Wright Act,” was passed by the Legislature
after a hard struggle in 1887, and was amended in 1889 and
1891. It provides that the organization and government of
irrigation districts shall be much the same as that of counties.
It authorizes the districts to issue bonds for the acquirement
of irrigation works and canals, to make assessments for the
payment of the principal and interest of such bonds, and in
case the assessments become delinquent to sell the property
for their payment. Efforts have been made to frame similar
irrigation laws in other States but none have as yet been
successful.
In bis decision of last week Judge Ross holds that this dis
trict irrigation law is in violation of both the Constitution of
the United States and that of California on the ground that it
authorizes the taking of land from private owners without
due process of law and for purposes not public. The decision
is a lengthy one and we can quote but briefly from it as fol
lows:
“ C an it be p roperly hold th a t w ith in th e reasons th a t underlie an y

of the National Water Works Company bondholders. On
the following day Judge Brewer granted the Water Works
Company an appeal and supersedeas, the case to be heard ict
St. Louis August 20.
B o n d P ro p o sal* a n d N e g o tia tio n *.— We have i *ived through the week the following notices of bones
recently negotiated and bonds offered and to be offered for
sale.
Allegan. Mich.—An election held July 21 on issuing 88,000
of water-works bonds resulted in the defeat of the prop jsition.
Alliance. Ohio,—An election held July 20 on issuing

proposition.
Baltimore, M-h—On July 29, 1895. the city of Baltimore
sold §720,000 of 3J£ per cent Clifton Park bonds to the Fideli.y
& Deposit Co. of Maryland at 106-68. The securities are
dated March l,1895,and will mature March 1,1945. Five months
accrued interest will be paid by the Park Commissioners.
Sixty-two bids were received, aggregating§7,025,000and rang
ing from 103 to 108 78. The last-named price was offered fur
§120,000 uf the bonds, but the Fidelity & Deposit Company
bid for all or note, and the whole amount was therefore
awarded to them. The city officials expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the high prices which were bid.
t i n s communication to the C h r o n i c l e Messrs. Wilson, C li
sten & Co., bankers of Baltimore, say in reference to the
city’s park loans that all city passenger railways in Baltimore
pay nine per cent of their gross earnings to the city fo r a
“ park fund.” This sum amounts at present to about §250," 0
a >enr and is continually increasing. It provides interest and
sinking fund on all stock issued in payment of parks and co .t
of maintenance. The stock issued in payment o f Druid Hill
Park, the principal one, has been already redeemed by the
operations of the sinking fund. The splendid park system of
Baltimore has not cost the citizens anything in the way of a
direct tax. The fate on the city tassenger railways ia five
cents and free transfers are given on connecting lines.

The United States Life
Insurance Co.
IN T H E C I T Y O F N E W

YORK.

This old and reliable Company now has the exper
ience of forty-five years o f practical Life Insurance,
which has taught it that the sine qua non o f success
Is the adoption o f good plans of insurance, and the
pursuit c f a liberal policy towards ooth its Insured
and its Agents. These essentials It possesses in an
eminent degree, but judiciously tempered by that
conservatism which is the best possible safeguard of
the policy-holder. Its contracts are incontestable
after two years. They are non-forfeiting, providing
generally for either paid-up policy or extended in
surance, at the option o f the policy-holder. It gives
ten days of grace in payment o f all premiums. Its
course during the past forty-five years abundantly
demonstrates Its absolute security.

Active and successful Agents, wishing to rep
resent this Company, m ay communicate
with the President at the Hom e Office,
