The full details of clearings for the week covered by the
above statement will be given next Saturday. We cannot,
of course, furnish thein to-day, bank clearings being made
up by the various clearing houses at noon on Saturday, and
hence in the above the last twenty-four hours of the week
have to be in all cases estimated .as we go to press Friday night.
We present below our usual detailed figures for the previous week, covering the returns for the period ending with
Saturday noon, November 24. and the results for the [corresponding week in 1899, 1898 and 1897 are also given. The
week's total at New York and for the whole country is the
heaviest on record. In comparison with the preceding week
there is an increase in the aggregate exchanges of twentytwo million dollars, the gain at New York being forty-three
millions. Contrasted with the week of 1899 the total for the
whole country shows an excess of 32'4 per cent.
Compared with the week of 1898 the current returns record
an increase of 76*2 per cent, and the excess over 1897 is 113-4
per cent. Outside of New York the increase over 1899 is 10'4

In a decision rendered this week the Inter-State
Commerce Commission has thrown off all disguise
and has revealed the animus which is controlling
its course and action.
The framers of the InterState law intended that the Commission should
act in an impartial manner, deciding cases before it strictly in accordance with their merits.
The Board has from the first acted as if it were the
champion of the shippers, and as if its chief function
consisted in harassing and embarrassing the railroads
and ruliEg against them when occasion offered. But
while the Commission could not conceal the bias it
felt, its utterances at least have hitherto been couched
in judicial and unobjectionable language, thus pre
serving a semblance of impartiality.
This week, however, it has finally thrown precaution to the winds.
The Southern Eailway Company had asked for a rehearing in a case involving relative rates to Lynch-

stock of $120,000,000 during 1899, to insist
upon cutting off that amount of revenue per year
would be tantamount
to depriving the
owners of the
stock of their property without due process of law.
The Commission makes an attempt
to dispute the
figures of loss given, and then goes on to say that the
stock was issued as part of a reorganization scheme
under which the company came into existence, that
it does not appear that anything was ever paid upon
such stock, and finally (apparently to clinch a weak
argument) "that it does not rest in the whim of a

nothing whatever to sustain it. When these people
took hold the properties constituting the present

financial wreck.

way in which it was rendered forbade the possibility of
cheapening the charge to the public. The reorganizes
provided the means for rehabilitating the system, and
poured millions upon millions into it for its improvement and development. Now at last the territory
served by the lines has a railroad service worthy of
the name. So far from having imposed a tax upon
any portion of the Southern country, we venture the
assertion that the South to-day, as the result of these
efforts and expenditures, is being served better and
cheaper than at any previous period in its history.
The statement that there is no evidence that anything was ever paid on the common stock of the
Southern Railway is of the same baseless character.
The stock referred to was issued in exchange for the
stocks of the old companies. Everybody in the financial and railroad world knows that the terms were not

CHANGES PROPOSED BY COMPTROLLER
DAWES IN NATIONAL BANK LAW.
The Comptroller
the Currency, Mr. Dawes, has
issued to the press this week copious extracts from
his
of
forthcoming report.
He recommends
several im-
amendments to the National Banking law.
The chief among these are (1) putting additional restrictions upon loans to directors and executive officers
portant
change in Section 5,200 of the
Revised Statutes, which, "while compelling under
penalty the safe and proper distribution of loans of
larger banks" (now restricted to one-tenth part of the
of the banks; (2) a
amount
of their capital stock), "will enable the larger
was steady to firm on Wednesday. Thursday was
a holiday. On Friday the market was active and
banks to loan more nearly the same per cent of their
total assets" which the section referred to allows to
small banks; and (3) changing the rule as to cash reserves so that a bank cannot hereafter count as a part
of its reserve so large a percentage as now of the cash
it has on deposit in another national bank at a reserve
city.
These suggestions, it will be noticed, are all
matters of peculiar interest touching points affecting

which suggests itself whenever amendments to the
Jaw are under discussion. Stability in affairs is attained by giving capital, however employed, as much
freedom as possible, rather than by piling up restrictions as to its employment. Recent disclosures of large
loss-s in banks which have been standing on their
books, and increasing for many years in spite of the
system of examinations which has been in operation
all the time, have served to raise the question anew,
whether official inspections and bank examinations
were not a source of weakness instead of strength.
These occurrences proved that in some cases at least
depositors, directors and officers had rested upon a
certificate of an examiner as completely as if it conveyed full knowledge of the condition of their institution, and have rested upon it with the absolute confidence a shipmaster would feel after he had obtained

twenty years, and such accessions to population are
no longer hailed with the unalloyed feeling of satisfaction which was the case earlier in the country's
history, when the immigrant was of a much higher
type.
It is also a question whether the immigrant
additions, in view of their impaired character, are not
proceeding quite as fast even at the reduced rate as is
for the moral good of the country.
We have made careful compilations from the Government returns, and from these it appears that the
immigrant arrivals for the ten years ending June 30
were 3,894,075. For the previous ten years the num.
ber was 5,246,613. Here, then, is a loss of 1,352,538.
To that extent the contraction in immigration explains the shrinkage in the rate of growth in population; but after all, the loss on that account forms only
a small part of the total loss.
While the immigrant
arrivals fall so much short of the extraordinary movement of the previous ten years, they are with that
single exception' the largest ever reached in any decen
nial period.
If these immigrant arrivals had equaled
those of 1880-90, the rate of growth in population
has been only 14*68 and 14*48 per cent, respectively,

and hence could not enforce the penalty against his

It was contended by the defendant
directors that Morgan, as purchaser, stood in the
shoes of Hedstrom, and hence could not recover
against them. The Court disposes of this claim by declaring that Morgan succeeded to the title of Hedstrom to the bonds, but not to the penalties and disabilities consequent upon his personal nonfeasance as
a director of the corporation.
Such nonfeasance did
not affect the salable quality of the bonds themselves,
nor, as already stated, deprive Morgan, in his character as creditor of the corporation, of the remedy
accorded by the statute.
The ten bonds upon which Morgan recovered judg
ment were part of a total issue of $120,000, bearing
date December 1 1883, with interest payable semiannually.
The bonds fell due December 1 1893, but
were not paid, and the mortgage was not foreclosed.
It was contended on behalf of the directors sued that
bonds of a corporation issued upon the security and
credit of a mortgage upon the corporation's real estate
are not within the meaning and intent of Section 30
of the Stock Corporation Law, and therefore not
within the Section itself that there is no need to file
any report for the information or protection of creditors thus secured ; that the purchaser knows
the
nature of his security and accepts and relies upon it
that if the bonds are not paid, he has his recourse to
the mortgage ; that the statute is penal in its nature,
and was framed for the benefit of those dealing with
the corporation and giving it credit, or further ex;
.
tending it in the ordinary course of business. The
Court refuses to accept this view, but endorses the
argument of the [plaintiff who rests his claim upon
the Section itself, which embraces " all the debts of
the corporation then existing," thus including all and
excepting none.
It had been urged that the right to mortgage the
property of the company was given under a separate
and distinct amendment of the original law and that
the requirement of an annual report could not have
been intended to apply to a mortgage indebtedness.
The Court points out, however, that it is a settled
rule of construction that an original statute and all
its amendments must be read together and viewed as
one Act passed at the same time. Besides, the whole
matter was revised and re-enacted in the Stock Corporation Law of 1890, and presumably if this particular exception had been overlooked in the previous
enactments it would then have been inserted. In
Bank of Metropolis vs. Faber (150 N". Y. 200) the
Court held that the later Act declares the legislative
policy in regard to the various laws embraced in the
revision made by it, and that Section 30 was but a
continuation of prior laws. There are not lacking
some considerations, Judge Landon urges, tending to
show the propriety of including debts secured by
mortgage within the class covered by Section 30, and
thus affirmatively supporting the legislative intent to

Court points out that Arthur E. Hedstrom
was elected trustee in June 1895, and his default in
filing the report occurred in January 1896, and his
liability to the penalty then attached because the
debt was " then existing." As to the other directors,
the liability attached in the same way but much
earlier, since they were directors earlier.
The penalties provided by the statutes are not cumulative,
but they were incurred with each failure to make the
required report. It would seem, therefore, that considerable personal risk attends neglect
to
comply
with the provisions of Section 30 of the Stock Corporation Law in the matter of making a report.

—An
event of the week of importance, at least to the
patrons of the American Exchange National Bank, was the
removal of that institution to its new offices in the modernlyconstructed building located on the site of the old structure,
Broadway corner of Cedar Street, which the
bank has for so many years owned. That portion of the
edifice which is devoted to the uses of the bank has been
especially designed for the convenience of the customers and
of the employes, and ic is one of the most artistically arranged and elegantly appointed banking offices in the city.
The executive offices are on that portion of the floor fronting on Broadway, while the principal departments with
which the customers of the institution have to do are on the
Cedar Street side of the building, affording all the conveniences of light and ventilation. The basement floor and the
fourth floor of the building are devoted to the minor
clerical force of the bank, and in the rear of the apartment
in the basement are the vaults of the institution. These
are amply protected by every modern device, and they
are secured by an elaborate system of combination locks,

There is a somewhat better feeling upon the Stock Exchange and there has been a slight recovery in several
departments; but business remains very slack and is likely
to continue so for the remainder of the year, owing to the
uncertainty of the money market, the protraction of the war,
and the troubles in China. Th? illness of the Czar is also a
deterring influence. It is hoped that he will soon be convalescent: but until he is quite well

the Treasury is giving all the assistance required; but the
private Russian banks are in a very bad way. Credit has
received a shock and trade is poor. Moreover, the Russian
Finance Minister is unwilling to pay the rate of interest required to raise a large loan either in Paris or in New Yon?
and therefore it is thought probable that he will have to
part with a good deal of his gold. Still, the impression is
there will be gradual liquidation, and that no further great
difficulties will be disclosed.
Here at home trade is sound, credit is good and people

open market; but the impression prevails, for the time being
at all events, that considerable withdrawals from the Bank
of England will not take place. There has been a rise in
the Paris exchange upon London, and although the full rise
has not been maintained, it is hf ped that the exchange will
not fall low enough to make withdrawals from the Bank
profitable.
Respecting New York, the impression here is
that American purchases of American securities have been
so large during the past fortnight that the danger of gold
shipments is averted. Meanwhile, the danger is recognized
to be so sufficiently great that the Bank of England has borrowed a considerable amount in the open market, and the
other banks are supporting the action of the Bank of
England.
The rate of disccunt is very nearly up to 4 per cent, and
on Wednesday and Thursday considerable amounts were
borrowed by the open market from the Bank at rates ranging from 4 per cent to 4^ per cent. There is a good deal of
speculation as to whether Russia will have to send gold to
Paris and London. As already said, the Finance Minister
is unwilling to pay the rates that would enable him to
ob
tain a large loan; and the impression is general tbat he is in
much need of money. Therefore, the best opinion seems to
be that he will have to send gold to Western Europe; but
the Russian Government maintains such great secrecy that
it is impossible to form any very definite opinion as to
what
may or may not happen.

In the second half of December, however, a squeeze is possible; but until then no great stringency is looked for.

In India the money market is easy and the India Council
continues to sell its drafts fairly well. It offered for tender
on Wednesday 30 lacs, and the applications exceeded 800 iacp.
The total amount offered for tender was disposed of at rates
ranging from Is. 3 15-16d. to Is. 4d. per rupee. Subsequently

affect Wall Street operations has occurred during the week. The volume of
business has been i estricted by the Thanksgiving holiday,
which takes a large number of people out of the Street for
a considerable part of three days or more, and by the fact
that the enthusiasm which developed immediately after the
election has largely spent itself. With the passing of this
enthusiasm there has developed, however, a feeling of optimism, more or less strong and widespread, and an inclination to enter into new commercial and industrial enterprises which had been held in abeyance pending the
outcome of the election. This optimistic feeling is shared
to some extent in Wall Street and finds expression in a demand for securities for investment, including those of the
better class and some issues that have heretofore been
classed as of lower grade, the value of which is likely to
enhance under the favorable industrial conditions now apparently assured.
The money market continues easy under a moderate demand and a liberal supply of funds.
The open market rates for call loans on the Stock Exchange
during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged
from 3 to 4% per cent. To-day's rates on call were 3 to
4% per cent. Prime commercial paper 4 to i% per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed a decrease in bullion of £1,870 and the percentage of reserve to liabilities was 42 76, against 45*31 last week;
the discount rate remains unchanged at 4 per cent. The
Bank of France shows an increase of 15,700,000 francs in
gold and a decrease of 2,125,000 francs in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks, in their statement of Nov. 24 showed an increase in the reserve held of
$7,538,800 and a surplus over the required reserve of

The market for railway bonds has been strong and active
under a good demand. Daily transactions averaged larger
than last week, were fairly well distributed and a large proportion of the active list advanced. St. Louis Southwestern
and Atchison issues were conspicuous for activity and
strength, the former showing a gain of from 3 to 5 points,
and Atchison adjustment 4s a gain of 3^ points. Chicago
& Alton 3%s were in demand at steadily advancing prices,
the transactions in them aggregating a large amount, and
they closed with a net gain of nearly 2 points. Central of
Georgia cons. 5s were also conspicuously active and strong.
In addition to the above, Baltimore & Ohio, Erie, Norfolk
& Western, Northern Pacific, Reading, St. Louis & Iron
Mountain, St. Louis & San Francisco, Southern Pacific,

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks. The stock market
has been less active than for several weeks past, and somewhat irregular, but generally firm, and in some cases decidedly strong. Railway shares were again favorites, and of
these a few high-grade issues and some low-priced stocks
regarded as likely to improve in the near future were conspicuous; the list including New York Central, Pennsylvania, the anthracite coal shares, Great Northern preferred,
Atchison, Chicago & Alton, Denver & Rio Grande, Southern Pacific and Southern Railway issues. The last-named,
both common and preferred, were notably strong under a
good demand, and when at the highest, near which they
close, had advanced 4 and 5 points respectively.
The
grangers were generally firm and the coal stocks advanced
on the trade outlook. The local transportation shares were
more or less irregular, in some cases showing a decided
tendency to weakness.
Attention was so largely centered in railway stocks that
transactions in industrial and miscellaneous issues
were relatively small. American Steel & Wire was weak
86 94 86k under speculative manipulation, and other iron and steel
shares declined in sympathy. Pullman Company advanced
on limited sales. New York Air-Brake sold 10 points above
17ifl916V
its previous high record for the year, an advance of 15

President Robert Kilgour, at the annual meeting, said
We have, in common with other
industrial companies, participated
in the general prosperity which both the United States and Canada
have enjoyed during the past year, and the increased earnings have
enabled us to nay not only the regular dividends upon the preferred
stook, and make substantial contributions to reserve accounts, but
also to pay dividends aggregating 5 per cent upon the common stook.
The sales show an increase over the last fiscal year of the old company of 11 per cent, and the profits show a greater increase, notwithstanding an advance in the cost of raw materials. All the preliminary
expenses have been written off through the profit and loss account.
The losses from bad debts have amounted to less than one-fifth of one
per cent of the sales. The orders on hand at the ent of the year were
for a total of 7,3(0,953 books, an increase of 910,155 books compared
with the beginning of the year.
Aoting upon the authority given by the stockholders supplementary
letters patent were obtained, empowering the company to purchase,
with funds of the company available for the purpose, and with the
consent of the holders, for cancellation, its own preference shares.
During the present month 250 stiares have been purchased on the
Toronto Stock Exchange, at *102 per share, under this authority.
Vice-President J.

W.
FJavelle said:
in a very small way in Canada in 1882, and in the
United States in 1884, the business has advanced rapidly each year,
until its transactions now involve dealings with over 10,000 customers in a single year, while its offshoots have been firmly and profitably established in London, Berlin and Australia. The increase in
business has been participated in by each of the three factories in

weather, which enabled us to earn gross receipts from charters, ticket
and privileges of $217,181, against expenses of $199,759. Looking back to the time when we assumed the management, when the
fare to Coney Island was double the present rate, when our boats
were at their best and the Etrolley line to the sea unknown, we had
that the receipts then for the season were over $100,000 more per
annum than of late years; but, while the present directors have expended for repairs on steamers {during their existence on an average
about 50 per cent per year more than than the former executives did
in 1892, we have nevertheless reduced expenses in various directions,
without prejudice to theproperty or to its patrons, to over $138,072 per
annum during the past year in comparison with 18S2.
Your executive officers entered into an arrangement last June with
the New Jersey Navigation Co. for a joint operation of the Ocean
Route to Long Branch. N. J., whereby the Iron Steamboat Co. was
benefited to the round sum of $19,754, so that we hold to-day in the
bank $39,775, against an amount owing by tbe company of $682.
This leaves hardly 75 per cent of the money required before a new
season opens, and that wirhout figuring a very large amount required
to put our boats into a condition of usefulness. One of our steamers
is badly in need of new boilers, etc., and others will require similar
outlays very soon. The state of affairs answers the many inquiries in
regard to a dividend on our stock.

price, $4 < 9; total cost, $5,131,549.
It is well known that the paoking business for
some time past of
those companies that only pack hogs has been extremely poor. After
our last annual meeting the management oast about to improve the
business. It was concluded best t sell as muoh as possible direct to
retail dealers. With that end in view the sausage-room was enlarged,
a refinery for lard was put in, and a butterine factory added to the
prope ty, and greater efforts were made to cure meats for the purpose
>
of smoking.
The management thought
beet to go into the beef business, at
found that the company could not
keep its business without being able in many instances to supply to
its trade fresh beef. We received what the management regarded as
a very favorable opportunity to acquire a large and valuable plant at
Sioux City, which embraces about twelve acres and buildings and
improvements which would cost to replaoe about $500,000. These
the Sioux City Stock Yards Co. agreed to convey in fee simple to this
company under what is known as a ten-year operating contract—that
Is to sav, the company was to operate the plant under certain conditions for that period, at the end of which time the property will
become absolutely that of this company. In addition, the Sioux City
Stock Yards Co. and the Citizens of Sioux City contributed $150,000,
which was used toward improving the plant. To that amount this
company added $60,00<\ so that there has been expended on the Sioux
City plant by this company and for its benefit $2 10,000.
It

Competition in our line has been extremely keen at all important
The older and stronger houses with their numerous branoh
houses, wnich this company does not posses*, and with their greater
capital and consequent ability to out prices, have obs ructed our
business and development. The most conservative management has
been maintained and every economy introduced, but all of this has
been fruitless. The necessary improvements and the losses sustained
have so reduced our working capital as to render it impossible to
operate both our Chicago and sioux City plants.
The question now arises and is submitted to you to determine what
course shall be pursued. Is it desirable to attempt to raise more
money, and, if so, what course shall be pursued for lint purpose, or is
It pref ei able that the company should go into liquidation!
The Sioux
City plant is a valuable one, and in order to comply with the contract
under which the property was acquired, it is necessary that the plant
should be operated. There are being killed there a daily average of
about 700 hogs.

Pittsburg Brewing Company.
( Report for the year ending Oct. 31, 1900.)
President F. W. Mueller at the annual meeting, it is
reported, said in part:
The result of the oompany's operations and the condition of its
affairs, present and prospective, are eminently satisfactory. By improving the quality of our product where improvement has been
possible, and by continuing the fair and liberal treatment formerly
aocorded the trade by our predecessors, we have succeeded in establishing our business upon a safe and sound basis. The sales during
the past year ending Oot. 31, 19C0, aggregate 930,266 barrels, an increase of 105,368 barrels for twelve months, of which increase
49,907 barrels were gained from Nov. 1, 1899, to May 1, 1900, and
55,461 barrels from May 1 to Nov. 1, L900. No breweries were purchased this year. In accordance with our policy to close the smaller
and less profitable breweries the Hippely and Scottdale plants have
been shut down and their trade supplied from our other breweries,
to the better satisfaction of our customers.
The capital stock is $13,000,000, half in 7 per cent preferred and half in common stock. There is also an authorized issue of $6,500,000 6 per cent bonds. Of these securities there are held in the treasury 181 bonds of a par value
of $1,000 each and $399,900 preferred and $537,750 common
stock in shares of a par value of $50 each.

Interoceanic Railway of Mexico.— New Capital— Refunding.— Seer etary C. E. Scruby in a circular says:
The accounts show that the net revenue of the year ended June 30.
1900, amounted to £111, %96 (compared with £81,963 last year), or
sufficient to provide the lull 7 per cent on the "A" debenture stock,
and 3 7 16 per cent on the 7 per cent "B" debenture stook. Since the
reconstruction of the capital in 1896. when £171,3*0 nominal 4 per
cent debenture stook was provided, the toial expenditure on rolhng
stook and works has amounted to $1,792,136. or £178,184 sterling.
Although this expenditure has not exhausted the total capital under
the control of the board, since at »he time of the reconstruction about
£80.<>00 was then unexpended, further drafts on capital are impracticable, because they would leave the board without funds for stores
and oiher working requirements.
In order to complete the works and improvements in progress, or
not yet commenced, for which the General Manager up to the present
has requested sanction, a further sum of from £55,000 to £60,000
will have to be provided. The board, therefore, recommends the
adoption of a resolution for the creation of £1,300,000 4*2 per cent
second debenture stock for the following purposes:
<A) To come immediately und. r the control of the board (of
which not exceeding £15o,C00 Is to be Issued for the purpose of raising the working oapital now required)
£200,000
(B) To be reserved for the exclusive purpose of redeeming
the 7 per cent "A" debenture stook of the company, of
which there is £735,39 outstanding, the same being redeemable at any time upon giving 6 months' notice. Any
portion not used for such purpose is to be added to the
leserve for future requirements
£950,000
<C) To constitute a reserve for future requirements on capital acoount, or for any other purposes, but not to be issued before 1905
£150,000
The 4*« per oent second debenture stook is to constitute a charge on
the undo taking ranking next after the 4 per oent debenture stock.
It will have cumulative rights from Jan. 1, 1906, and foreclosure
rights when the lull interest on the 4»a per cent debenture stook for
the time being outstanding and on the 7 per cent "B" debenture
stock has been paid out of earnings for five oonseoutlveyears.whereas
the existiug "A" debenture stock does not enter Into cumulative or
1
(A) and the £ 50,0(
reserve capital (C) will rank next after the 4
per cent debenture stock.
The 7 per cent "A" debenture stockholders will be invited to exchange their present holdings for an increased nominal amount of the
proposed new 4*3 per cent. The annual charge for interest on the 7
per cent "A" debenture stock is £51,477, whereas, when the "A" debenture stock has been redeemed the charge will, Including the £110,000 for Immediate working capital, not exceed £49,500, or 4*2 per
cent on £1,100,000 seoond debenture stock. If the redemption of the
"A" debenture stock cannot be effected so soon as is anticipated, the
annual charge for interest in front of the "B" debenture stock until
1905 cannot exceed the present charge by more than £9,< 00, «nd
would not exceed it by more than £6,750 (interest on £1 50,000) for
the greater part of that period. It must, however, be borne in mind
that the saving due to greater economy in working which results from
improved traffic facilities, may be confidently expected to more than
equal the interest on oapital devoted to such purposes.— V. 66, p. 57a.

Manhattan (Elevated) Ry. Tax Decision.— At Albany on
Tuesday the Court of Appeals gave a decision in the longstanding tax suit, fixing the value of the property assessable
for city purposes in the city of New York at $9,492,307, contrastiDg with $17,860,712, the amount assessed in 1894, when
Judge Haight wrote the prevailing
the litigation began.
opinion, which was concurred in by Chief Judge Parker and
He says in part
Perhaps the most troublesome question presented for the consideration of the Court relates to the item of land damages, $8,814,423, of
which 90 per cent, $7,932,980, was realized. The sum of $4.451,9<3
was paid for land damages on the Metropolitan line, and is included
in the open accounts. Of the balance, $3,480,987, $1,160,329 was
paid for rental damages of the New York line and $2,320,658 for the
fee damages. It is contended on behalf of the relator that these damages ao not constitute taxable assets. We are inclined to the view
that this contention presents a question of law which it Is the duty of
this Court to determine.
The Special Term found the value of the relator's assets, after making the proper deductions, was $14,440,641. Also, that the relator
had paid an annual dividend of 6 per cent upon its oapital stock of
$29,925,200, and had a surplus besides, and finally that the Commissioners were justified in assuming that the capital stock of the relator
remained unimpaired and that the assessable value of its assets was
$15,526,^00, as determined by the Commissioners, and that their assessment should be confirmed. In the oase of the People ex rel. the
Equitable Gaslight Co. vs. Barker, and also in this oase on the former
hearing, this Court held that such a presumption may be indulged in.
Evidence, however, may be introduced showing that the capital
stock of a company is impaired by the existence of debts, whioh evidence, if believed, overcomes the presumption that might otherwise
exist. In this oase the indebtedness disolosed by the relator consisted
of mortgages, bonds and ju tginents, about whioh there now appears
to be no controversy as to the facts.
It would seem, therefore, that the presumption was overcome by the
evidence, and the assessment shoula be made in accordance with the
testimony, and not based upon the presumption that the oanltal stocK
remained unimpaired. The Appellate Division appears to have found
Judges Bartlett, Martin and Vann.

as found by the referee. It also found that the judgments unpaid of
$744, 5^5 had been obtained for l<nd damages, of whioh $248,183 was

with the learned Appellate Division with reference to its disposition
of these items. We agree fully as to the assets, and only differ a* to
the deductions of the items first considered by u*.

Bonds may be purchased at not exceeding 110 and accrued interest,
or, if not so purchasable, drawn by lot at 110 and interest. For thia
purpose a sinking fund of $50,000. together with a sum equal to the>
annual interest on all bonds purchased or drawn is payable on or before July 1 yearly, beginning 1902. but simultaneously with any sinking fund payment any additional sum desired may be paid for the
of tobacco factories, and every one of them has oad years
of experience. It is correct that the Havana Commercial Co. has suspended dividends on the preferred stock until the floating d**bt Is
wiped out Under favorable crop conditions the entire tloatluii debt
will be paid oft in about two years, and If the crops are successively
good It will take a uiuoh shorter time.— V. 70, p. 1293, 1252.

Kentucky Heating Co. of Louisville, Ky.— Ordinance
Passed Over Veto. The lower board of the General Council
of Louisville on Nov. 5, by a vote of 21 to 1, passed over the
Mayor's veto the ordinance granting to the Kentucky Heating Co., as the highest bidder, a 20- year franchise to sell fuel
gas, natural or artificial, for use, it is claimed, both for
fuel and illuminating purposes. On Nov. 27 the retiring gas
and water committee of the Board of Aldermen presented a
report opposing the measure as contrary to the best interests
of the city. Six of the twelve aldermen signed the report.
The report was not spread on the record, but the action
taken is thought practically to end the chances of the measure's being passed.

attracted considerable attention in speculative circles, was
carried to a successful close by a private settlement on
Wednesday. The apprehension in speculative markets over
the eerious illness of the Czar of Russia has been allayed by
the reported improvement in his condition.
Lard on the spot has had a slow sale and under increased
offerings prices have declined. The close was quiet at
7'37^c for prime Western and 7c. for prime City. Refined
lard has been in slow demand and prices have weakened
with the raw product, closing at 7*45c for refined for the
Continent. Speculation in lard for future delivery has been
moderately active, hut at lower prices. Increased receipts
of hogs and freer off f rings of actual supplies have been the
depressing factor. The close was quiet.

Brazil grades of coffee have continued to meet with a slow

in the week there was a slight rally in prices, based on a
falling off in the Brazil crop movement, but under continued

memorandum on
the cotton crop of the season of 1900-01 was issued by the
Director- General of Statistics under date of Calcutta, October 23, as follows:
With one exception the reports from the cotton-growing provlnoes
are uniformly favorable. The abundant rain of August and September was, od the whole, most useful to the crop, though it was excessive in a few traots in the Panjab and the eastern districts of the
North-Western Provinces, where some iDjury was done. In both provinces, however, the existing conditions are entirely satisfactory, and
a yield in exoess of the average is expected. In the Central Provincee,
Berar and Madras, cotton was sown over an unusually large area
under the stimulus of the high pricesforthefibre which have prevailed
for a considerable time, and in all these regions the promise of the
crop is excellent.
The one exception to the general prosperity of this crop is in Bombay, where, so far as may be judged irom the extremely defective and
belated reports which have been received, the crop has been sown on
a very reduced area, and in some tracts does not promise as well as it
might, owing to the absence of rain. The area sown in Gujarat appears to be only about half the average, the people in that faminestricken area having sown with food-grains much of the land which
would in an ordinary season have been sown with cotton.
Cotton Estimate of the Memphis Exchange.— The average estimate of 133 members of the Memphis Cotton
Exchange is 9,808,485 bales, the highest estimate being
10,696,000 and the lowest 8,987,700.

Oats for future delivery at the Western market have been
quiet but the undertone has held steady. The movement of the
crop has continued very moderate, and this, coupled with a
fairly good trade demand, has served to hold prices despite
the fact that there has been an absence of speculative interest
in the market. Locally the spot market has been moderately
active, with white oats in small supply and held at higher
prices.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
New Yore,
Friday, P. M.. Nov. 30, 19C0.
Although the week has been broken in upon by the
Thanksgiving holiday, there has in the aggregate been some
improvement in the general volume of business in progress
in cotton goods, and at the cIofo indications of a reviving
demand for woolen and wors'ed fabrics. Cooler weather
promises to h«)p the latter, as thev have been particularly
affecr,< d by the open character of the season so far, but in
cotton goods the increased business has been the outcome of
gradually increasing requirements irrespective of weather influences. The tone of the cotton goods division ot the market in all directions not directly affected by the suspension of
business for China is firm, and in some advances in prices
are noted. The high cost of production as represented by
current prices of raw material has been the primary cau^e
of such advances, but that they have been possibe shows a
generally good condition from the standpoint of supply aid
demand. If heavy brown cottons are excepted, stocks of
goods on band are not at all plentiiul in the aggrega'e while
many descriptions are not only sold up bat are under orders
ahead in both plain and fancy lines. The condition of the
jobbing trade is not si together satisfactory, according to the
reports coming to hand, but from the business doing in the
primary market, distribution from second hands must have
been on quite a liberal scale for the season.
Woolen Goods. The early part of the week showed a
dull business in all lines of men's-wear woolen and worsted
fabrics in both heavy and light weights, but orders at the
close are more numerous than for some time pa-t, although
still for limited qu ttities.
The chief usiness has been in
goods from stock, a d in these buyers have four d the market
an easy one to cper.ie in. Sellers still look fur a considerable business in the ,vay of re-orders for spring, but at ihe
same time show anx'ety to move stocks on hand in both
staple 1 nes and fancies. This causes decided irregularity in
prices, and there are few descriptions of either woolens or
worsteds which are not affected. Business in satinets snd
union goods has been limited. For overcoatings there has
been a dull market, oub-ide of a specialty or two, such as Oxford mixtures, which are steady. Kerseys and beavers imgnlar. Cloakings in limited request and easy. Woolen and

The value of the New York exports for the year to date has
been $12,674 649 in 1900, against $13,923,707 in 1899.
There has been an upward movement this week in bleached
cottons, a number of medium aud better grades being advauced 34c. per yard, with low qualities generally %o. higher,
althougb not openly quoted so. All grades of bleached are
in good cond tion, a moderate demand being sufficient to keep
the market clean. Wide sheetugs also i>re well sold up, and
an occasional line has been advanced lc. per yard. In brown
cottons there is a sharp distinction between goods weighing
4 yards and lighter and heavier makes. The former have been

with staple lines in average demand. Ginghams are very
firm throughout. In mint clohs there have been moderate
sales of regulars at 3^j., with a considerable business in
nanoiv edds on that basis. Wide goods are firm, with fair
sales.

Modesto, (Cal.) Irrigation District. —Bonds Valid.— The
following relative to bonds of this district appeared in the
San Francisco " Chronicle " of November 13
:
Judge Morrow rendered a decision yesterday in favor of the plaintiff in the
case of George Herring against Modesto Irrigation District. This case is one
much importance to all irrigation districts in t> is State, as it is the first decision that has yet been rendered in an action brought upon thebotds. The
Supreme Court of the State has had occasion to frequently pass upon certain
phases of the irrigation question, but no action brought direcily upon the
of
bonds has come before it.
In the Herring case the entire question was very thoroughly considered.
The Court was occupied for many days in the taking of testimony, principally
introduced by the defendant in an attempt to show that the bonds were illegally issued. The defense relied upon by the defendant was that the steps
leading up to the formation of the district were invalid, because no sufficient
notice of the amplication to the Board of Supervisors was ever published ;that
some of the persons who signed the peitlon were not qualified so to do, and
that therefore less than fifty valid signatures were obtained lor the petition.
The main defense relied upon was that these bonds were exchanged for
work and not sold for cash, as provided for by the Wright Act. It was claimed
that various contractors had received these bonds in payment for their work
and that the sales made were fictitious.
It was also claimed that, the land embraced in the district was not subject to
irrigation, that it had derived no benefit therefrom, and that the Wright Act
was unconstitutional.
Upon these defenses the Court permitted full inquiry, but it is now held by
Judge Morrow that they are not sustained and that the plaintifl should have
judgment as praved for.
The result of the decision is that the Modesto District must now levy taxes
to pay the interest on the bonds and ultimately to pay the principal, whether
the irrigation works are finished or not. About $8ou,oo0 in bonds have been
issued and the proceeds expended in the construction of water works. Tne
district covers H7,00u acres. It owns a half interest In the big dam across the
Tuo umne Kiver above La Grande and has constructed a canal forty feet wide
and twenty miles long leading down to the district. Bonds of the par value of
$350,ou0 were voted in lsytfto complete the system, but the work was stopped
by litigation. The Turlock District system, which adjoins the Modesto, has
been completed.
