THh M N A N C I A L SITUATION.
It is the Denver Railroad this week that registers the
current industrial progress. Last week it was the
North West. A little while ago all the announcements
were of dividends suspended. Now thoy have begun
to be of dividends resumed. Some, who seldom seem
to hear favorable news and discredit most any reports
except of a funereal nature, say this is all the result of
the big corn crop wo have raised, and that the influ
ence of that will soon be on the wane, as prices of corn
are bo low there is no money in it for the farmer.
It happens that neither statement is tr u e ; the
crop does not begin to move in any volume
until January, and is an important feature
for a whole twelve months. Besides, these steps
are taken by the roads named because of results al
ready secured—they are evidence of fruition not hope.
They tell us that agricultural classes have at least sur
plus enough to buy goods and that railroads are carry
ing them. Another prominent event and of an op
posite character, in a very different department of in
vestments, has been the substantial collapse in the
American Tobacco stock, said to be on news made pub
lic last Saturday of a decision to pass the February
dividend. This action is no indication of the state of
general business, but probably was in great part due to
wasteful management, especially to a wasteful fight,
which has been so long and bitterly carried on and
ought long ago to have been settled. The develop
ment no doubt has had considerable influence through
the week on Stock Exchange values and especially has
had a tendency to discourage holders of all industrials.
Some features in the bank returns and in the Treas
ury gold holdings are worthy of attention. Comparing
the bank statement of November 9 and December 7,
in which interval $17,660,000 gold was withdrawn from
the Treasury and exported—$16,660,000 for England and
$1,000,000 for South America—there was a gain by the
associated banks of $2,952,600 gold. Presumably none
of this came from the Treasury, since the net gold re
ported by the Government on November 9 was $92,766,674 and on December 7 it was $79,014,741, or
nearly 4 million dollars more than it would be
if all the withdrawals were deducted. This better
Treasury condition than the withdrawals called
for is probably explained by the fact that
the date of the report of Dec. 7 does not in
clude Friday’s movement December 6, when there
was $2,400,000 gold withdrawn, and also does not al
low for the deposit of gold for legal tenders in the
Sub-Treasury by individuals and banks. It shows,
nevertheless, a very important feature, and that is how
entirely the distrust in our currency on the present
occasion is confined to Europe and what absolute
confidence our people feel in the ability and determin
ation of the Administration to keep our two kinds of
dollars convertible. Not only are none of our financial
institutions drawing out gold, but the people and banks
are actually depositing it in small amounts.
It may be asked, where did the banks’ additional gold
holdings come from ? That is accounted for by the
fact that the Clearing-House institutions have been
for some time accumulating gold in the form of Assay
Office receipts. These receipts are cashed for the
bullion dealer through whose hands the domestic
gold bullion passes. Another feature of the bank leturna has excited remark, and that is the recent gains
in the currency they report in the face of the large
withdrawals of legal tenders for exchange for gold
required for export. Indeed, while the gold exports
above mentioned have been in progress (from Nov. 9 to
Dec. 7) the aggregate loss of legal tenders has only been
$3,480,700.. The reason which the banks assign for
this small loss is that at this season of the year the
retail merchants of this city and also of Brooklyn and
Jersey City collect in their dealings larger amounts of
currency than the ordinary, and theso are deposited in
our banks either directly or through the local banksand so augment the currency holdings of the Clear
ing-Douse institutions. Usually the withdrawals of
currency in a week over the counter about average the
deposits, and our interior movement is made up on
that basis. Recently, and in the manner stated, the
deposits are said to have exceeded the withdrawals,
and hence our interior movement has failed to show cor
rectly the changes in currency which have taken place.
As noted above, the Denver & Rio Grande has de
termined to resume the payment of dividends on its
preferred stock, having this week declared a dividend
of one per cent, payable January 15. The Denver is
a very conservatively managed property, and was the
first to stop the payment of dividends in 1893 when
the outlook for the Colorado silver-mining industry
was so greatly changed by the decline in the price of
the metal under the important events of that year.
The record of the road since then has been a notable
one. In the year ending June 30 1894 the gross earn
ings, as the result of the depression in silver mining
and the panic, fell off over 30 per cent and net
earnings nearly 40 per cent, and yet notwithstanding
this tremendous reduction in receipts—gross having
dropped from $9,317,647 to $6,476,044, and net from
$4,035,562 to $2,503,493—the company, according te
its report for that year, was able to show all its fixed
charges earned, with a small surplus left over. In the
year ending June 30 1895 affairs began to improve
again, and it was demonstrated that Colorado was not
so exclusively dependent uoon silver mining as had
been generally supposed. The result was that some
portion of the previous year’s very large loss was
recovered, and consequently for that period of twelve
months the company found it possible to report a
surplus of $528,690 above the charges. In the current
year thus far there has been further improvement,
and for the four months to October 31, as shown by us
in our earnings department last week, there was a sur
plus above the charges for that period in amount of
$446,425, against a similar surplus in the corresponding
four months of 1894 of only $259,619. Moreover, the
general revival of trade, and the special activity in gold
mining which has latterly developed in Colorado, give
promise of continued betterment for some time to come.
It will be remembered that the management were
sharply criticised when they suspended dividends in
1893. Subsequent events amply justified their course,
and indeed showed that they had possessed rare fore
sight. They are not likely to be criticised for having
resumed dividends when the returns show so clearly that
dividends are being earned. Of course the action of
the Board also indicates that in their judgment there is
a reasonable prospect that some payment on the pre
ferred shares can now be made as a regular thing,
which to the stockholders will be the most welcome
part of the announcement. To guard against misap
prehension, however, it is proper to observe that the
company’s advertisement does not speak of the divi
dend as a “ quarterly” dividend.

There is danger that the public and Congress may
lose sight of the real need of the country in the move
ment to effect a cure of the present currency crisis.
We express this fear because so much stress seems to
be laid on the necessity of enlarging the Government
revenue and because so many seem to think that act
would sufficiently relieve, if not correct, the financial
derangement. Our legislators—those on whom our
people are wont to depend—confess they have made
mistakes in the p a s t; that palliatives and compro
mises, which were tried with hope, have failed ; they
have so far confessed this as to have reversed their ac
tion in the most important instance and repealed the
1890 silver-purchase law. Do not then let us run into
any mistake in this case. Let the 1893 action be fol
lowed up by similar heroic legislation, and from that
moment the advance of this country will surpass the
expectations of the most sanguine.
There are three facts which can be easily established..
One is that it is very doubtful whether the Govern
ment really needs any more revenue. Another is th at
even if legislation of that character could be attained,,
it can only be after a long, uncertain and extremely
disturbing struggle between the believers in the two
opposite economic theories of revenue, while business
interests are suffering from the lack of prompt relief
And finally, even if the attempt is successful and
abundant revenue is gained, our industries will have
secured not at all a cure but merely a very partial
palliative. Let us study these matters and see if the
positions taken are not all correct.
With reference to additional revenue we claim, as we
did on the 9th of November ( C h r o n i c l e , Nov. 9 , .
1895, page 811, etc.), and several times before, that it
is not required, but if it could be obtained without too
much delay or discussion would be desirable. It may
be considered desirable because as yet the receipts

collected on the imports (dutiable and free) at 23-49
j*r cent for the fiscal year 1893 and 21-26 for the fiscal
year 1892, ugaicst our result of 22-75 per cent for the
calendar year of 1892. It will be observed that we
make the average percentage for the 10 months of 1895
for which we have returns 20-98. This average is
probably less than it will be another year. That seems
likely from the fact that certain important dutiable
articles have formed a smaller part of the total imports
in 1895 than was the case a year ago. Imports of
sugar for instance in the first nine months were about
20 per cent less in quantity than in 1894. Assuming,
however, that in 1896 we shall have a call for imports
as large as in 1892, and assuming that above p rcentage
represents the percentage of imports that year as it has
this vcar, the total revenue from Customs for 1896
would be 1764 million dollars.
But we have spent more time than was our purpose
on this part of our subject. The analysis seemed de
sirable, for the facts and figures were required to make
the conclusion clear that for the fiscal Year of 1896 97
a surplus revenue might be anticipated under the law
as it b o w stands. At the same time even were this not
true the imposition of further taxes could in no
sense be claimed as necessary inasmuch as the cash
holdings of the Treasury are abundant to enable
the Government to meet its obligations not only
now but so long as the present administration
shall be in office. It is not to-day a matter of sol
ver cy; it is the gold reserve that is threatened; it
is the ability of the Government to keep the two
kinds of dollars convertible that is questioned and
is the source of anxiety. The net Treasury balance on
the first of December was 877,406,387 over and above
the 100 million dollars reserve. The presumption is it
will not be less than 70 million dollars on the first of
February and not below 60 million dollars on the 30th
of June 1896. Hence we repeat that the reasonable
conclusion is the present administration has money
enough with its current income to meet all outgoes so
long as it is in power. Besides that, if Congress does
nothing to reconstruct-our currency system, another
bond sale or rather another purchase of gold to replen
ish the Treasury stock will shortly be made inevitable
and that will further add to the balance.
The important thought is then that even should the
Government’s receipts from taxes under the present
law or through new legislation become so abun
dant as to leave a monthly surplus, and the
surplus be so managed by the Secretary as in some
measure to relieve the currency situation as already
described, the action would after all be nothing
more than a temporary make-shift. Present distrust
might for the time being be held in suspense
and business revival progress in a hesitating, half
hearted way; but confidence would not be restored.
I here can be but one full and complete remedy, one
road to absolute soundness, one method for freeing
enterprise from existing restrictions and giving the
energies of the people free rein, and that is through
the withdrawal and cancellation of the legal tenders.
The method suggested by the President of using ihe
national banking law and its cutrencv syst-m to
supply their place as far as needful is so unobjectionable
and bo in accord with the suggestions mode by con
servative men of both parties in and out of Congress
in former years, that its adoption would appear to be
a matter almost of form by any one earnestly seek
ing to relieve the country’s embarrassment.

A GOOD SOUND M O N S Y B O O K *
We are so constantly receiving letters asking to be
directed to some book containing the facts with rela
tion to the various experiments of the United States
in Government paper money and bank-note issues that
we take special pleasure in referring to a very useful
and convenient volume which Mr. Horace White, of
the livening Post, has recently prepared and published
on “ Money and Banking.” It is convenient because,
among other things, the text is so concise that the
work has been kept within small compass instead of
taking on the bulky form in which so many of the
publications covering these subjects appear. At the
same time it is more than ordinarily useful in that it
deals chiefly with the monetary history of the United
States for illustrating the defects and disturbing char
acter of any but the best currency.
We would not be understood as indicating that the
historical facts relating to gold and silver coinage in
other countries are omitted. That is not the case.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part
opens with introductory chapters of a general charac
ter with reference to “ real money.” These seek to
show the “ evolution of m oney;” that is out of
what conditions and by what stages systems of coinage
grew. In this connection the author has brought to
gether a great many interesting and instructive facts
drawn from the early struggles of the United S tates;
also the salient facts relating to the coinage in Eng
land, France, Germany, Holland, Austria and India,
these latter being given quite fully and yet without
unnecessary and tedious detail. So too in this part of
the book mention is made of the three monetary con
ferences which have been held iu Europe and at eich
of which the United States was represented ; the record
of the latest one, the Brussels conference, is more ex
tended, its proceedings and the schemes brought before
R beiDg noticed at considerable length.
But in our view the most interesting portion of the
work is the Second Part, on “ Representative money.’
This may be regarded as most interesting because it
bears a closer relation to the American waut and
throws special light on our present currency struggles.
Even all the earlier part of the book leaehes and
illustrates by “ concrete examples” the lessons which
the concluding part distinctly and specifically applies
to the United Stat°s. That is to say the author hav
ing collected in treating of “ real money” all the light
history briefly reviewed had to shed on the currency
problem, here continues his plan by focusing what has
been thus collected on our own recent experiments.
His method is first a discussion of ‘‘fiat money’ and
after that of “ Banks.” To “ fiat money” ten chapters
are devoted; among these are included a chapter on
“ Colonial Paper M oney;” another on the “ Conti
nental Money,” or the money in use during the period
of our Revolution ; another “ line Greenbacks; ’ an
other the “ Confederate Currency;” another “ Silver
Dollars,’ etc. The facts in relation to banking are
brought together and treated in the same comprehen
sive way, nineteen chapters being given to their exposi
tion.
What Mr. White publishes is always readable. He
does not know how to write in a dull way. He has,
too, in this case made himself thoroughly familiar
with his subj-ct. One may not at times agree with

would hardly be possible, perhaps ,not desirable. He
has certaihly collected a mass of information, brought

felt want.

FO RECLO SU RE.
AFTER
Wnh so many railroads in process 'of foreclosure, or
actually foreclos-d, the questio 1 of wnat are the rights
of redemption of the junior security holders where the
property is sold under foreclosure of an antecedent
lien, is an important as well as an interesting o te. Tne
length of time alio wed for redemption and the conditions
under which redemption may be exercised are matters
that depend upon the discretion of the judge having jur
isdiction of the foreclosure, upon ths statutory regula
tions of the Stats under whose laws a company may be
organized and upon the provisions of the company’s
charter. B it certain general principles govern in all
cases, and these were prominently brought out in a
recent decision of the Uhited States Supreme Court.
The question came up in the case of Simmons v<\
Burlington Cedar Rapids & Northern Railway Com
pany, decided a few weeks ago, and which decision was
noted by us at the time in our railroad news columns.
As far as the case has attracted attention at ail in
public, it has been discussed merely in its btaring upon
the company whose title to its property it was sought
to upset. To that company the decision means the
termination of a long period of litigation for which
there never seemed any sound basis and which yet, be
cause of the peculiar circumstances of the case, served
to throw a cloud upon the status of the company.
Iii that regaid the decision finally and effectually
disposes of the questions at issue adverse to the com
plainants, and i« a s gnat triumph for the Burlington
Cellar Hipids & Northern company. But some of the
points rals< d in the suit were of much general import
ance, and in that sense the ruling of the Court pos
sesses wide interest omside the circle of the parties di
rectly involved. It seems desirable therefore not to
rest with a mere statement of the result of the coutest,
but to consider it more at length and note the views
of the Court on tbe broad general questions presented
for its determination.
We have saul that the circumstances of the case were
peculiar. The Burlington Cedar Rapids «& Northern
took title to its property over nineteen years ago,
having been organized as successor to the Burlington
Cedar Rapids & Minnesota, sold in foieclosure Jime
22 1876. All the various interests were parties to the
foreclosure suit, and the reorganization plan under
which the property was bought ia also made definite
provision for each of these various interests. Seven
years thereafter, on April 13 1883, certain holders of
the income and equipment bonds of the rid company
who had until then remained inactive claimed the right
of redemption of the property and began an action
with that end in view against the new company.
It docs not seem difficult to divine what prompted this
long-delayed step. In 1876 the rea l was undoubtedly
and utterly bankrupt. In 1883 it had reached a con
siderable degree of prosperity.
The bondholders
referred to tiad discovered what they imagined was a
;043'
flaw in the foreclosure decree euterel October 1875.
So long as the road was doing poorly there was
obviously no inducement to contest the foreclosure
and demand a right of redemption. B it when earnings
had very greatly increased and the property was begin
ning to show actual merit, there seemed a possibility
that value could be given to the old income bonds
by asserting an unfulfilled right of redemption.
The Farmers’ Loan & Trust Company, the trus
tee under the income and equipment mortgage,
bad resigned its functions, and hence the bondholders
petitioned the District Judge of the United States for
the Southern District of Iowa for the appointment of
Charles E. Simmons as trustee, which petition was
granted. The new trustee at once began suit, and
in one way or another the matter has continued in the
courts ever since unt'l it has now been disposed of by
the court of last resort.
Justice Shiras, who delivered the opinion of the
Court, weDt into a discussion of these v .rious unique
features of the case. After stating that the record
shows that all the parties to be affected by the decree
were before the Court at the tim t of its issuance,
and that it would
naturally be the desire
to have the foreclosure proceedings eventuate in
such a way as to dispose of the questions raised
in the several cases and to vest in the purchase) s an
unencumbered title to the property, he says that the
pleadings and evidence establish that such a plan of
sale was apparently pursued, and that it resulted in the
organization of a new company, whose mortgage bonds
and stock were distributed among the original bond
holders upon terms satisfactory to all, including a
number of those who likewise held bonds secured by
the income mortgage. The sales were reported to the
Cour'', and with the deeds in pirsnanoe theceof were
duly approved. The new company wont into posses
sion and management of the railroad and branches, and
increased largely their value by important extensions.
The bonds and stook of the new company, it is safe to
presume, urgues Justice Shiras, have gone largely into
new hands. The possession and title of the company
remained undisturbed and unchallenged until April
1883, a period of seven years, “ when the petition of
certain alleged bondholders under the income mort
gage was file I, asking leave to file what is termed ‘an
amended and supplemental cross-bill in the nature of
a bill of revivor and supplement, the avowed purpose
of which is to have the title of the Burlington Cedar
Rapids & Northern Railway Company declared subject
1 1 tbe lien of the income mortgage, to have the mort
gage issued ia pursuance of the plan of reorganization
declared void as respects the main line, and to hold
that company to account for the earnings d nring the
period of its possession.” The opiuion well says that
to constrain a court of equity to grant relief so appar
ently inconsistent with the previous proceedings, and
so destructive of the rights of persons who have since
become interested, the case presented should be clear
and free from doubt.
Upon what then did the bondholders rest their
claims that the proceedings should be reopened and
they be allowed to redeem the property? One of their
main contentions was that the decree of foreclosure
did not contain an express provision calling upon the
income bond* olders to exercise or else forfeit their
redemption right, and that the absence of such pro
vision left them in possession of said redemption right;
in brief, that as tho decree of October 1875 contained

ally largo, and tho difference in the. yield in the two
seasons has produced a moat noteworthy contrast in the
volume of the shipments of the staple over the rail
roads and to market. Aside from the shortage in
product, too, the reaction in prices which occurred
during October and November, seems to have induced
somo of the planters to hold back their supplies in the
hope that a recovery may ensue and enable them to
obtain higher figures again lateron. The effect altogether

outports in November the present year, against 1,553,871 bales in November last year, a loss of but little I033
than seven hundred thousand bales. At the same
time the gross shipments overland were only 235,300
bales, against 434,786 bales, giving a further loss of
nearly two hundred thousand bales. Combining the
two the falling off as compared with last year reaches
nearly nine hundred thousand bales—in exict figures,
881,943 bales. Taking the average weight of the bale
as roughly 500 pounds, this falling off represents a loss
to the various transportation interests of over 220,000
tons of freight, from which one can judge of its im
portance in the affairs of the roads chiefly affected. To
show that the falling off has been very general, we give
the following table in our usual form.

To the planter the higher level of prices ruling the
present year (eveu after the late reaction) furnishes at
least part compensation for the shortage in yield. But
the railroads have no such way of making good the
loss. Under the circumstances it is not wonderful
that those of them which have suffered most from the
contraction in the movement of this staple should be
obliged to report considerable reductions in tbeir earn
ings. Thus the Missouri Kansas & Texas has §271,598
decrease, the Texas & Pacific §150,247 decrease, the
St. Louis South western $129,779 decrease, the Atchison
$120,701 decrease, the International & Great Northern
$91,542 decrease and the Kansas City Port Scott &
Memphis $47,236 decrease. But these half dozen
roads comprise all that have lost as much as $30,000,
and on the whole it is really surprising that the losses
should be comparatively so few. Doubtless if it were
not for the large -grain crops in the same sections
and the improvement in general trade, the decreases
would have been much more numerous and also much
larger. In the case of the Atchison Topeka & Santa
Fe the loss has occurred entirely on the Gulf Colorado
& Santa Fe (the Texas division of the system) where
the earnings have fallen off as much as $231,808,
showing that on the rest of the system there was
a gain of over a hundred thousand dollars for the
mouth.
It is worth noting that the roads here enumerated as
having suffered large losses are all S .uthwestern lines—
that is, lines lying west of the Mississippi, in Texas and
Arkansas. It was these roads that were particularly fav
ored last year by an extraordinarily heavy yield of cotton
in the section traversed by them, some of the Texas roads
then reporting the largest November earnings in their
history; and it is the same section and the same roads
which the present year have had to contend with an
exceptionally small yield of that staple. On the dis
tinctively Southern roads—we mean those east of the
Mississippi—there are no losses of large amount among
the roads reporting to us, though in that section also,
as we have seen, there was a great contraction in the
cotton movement the present year. The reason prob
ably is that these roads have derived important benefits
from the activity of general business and particularly
from the revival of the iron trade, which in the South
has become an expanding industry. At the same time,
also, the Atlanta Exposition must have been a favor
ing agenev with many of them. We know that large
delegations have gone to visit the Exposition from this
vicinity and from other parts of the North, and the at
tendance from the different parts of the South has evi
dently also been large. An incident illustrating this
came under our notice in telegraphing for the figures
of the Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis this week.
The return of that road is usually ready on the 12th of
the month, but this time Comptroller J. D. Maney
wires ns that his clerical force having permission to
visit the Exposition, the earnings will not be ascer
tained until the 14th.
Quite in contrast with the smaller cotton movement
in the South and Southwest, the grain movement in
the West and Northwest has been greatly in excess of
that of a year ago; and this, with the growing activity
in trade, leading to increased shipments of merchandise
and general freight, has produced some noteworthy
gains in earnings. The expansion in the grain move
ment has been chiefly in the items of wheat and oats.
In corn the receipts were in the aggregate no heavier
than a year ago, when they were much below the total
in 1893. Of wheat the receipts at the Western primary
markets were, roughly, 29|- million bushels in the
four weeks ending November 30, 1895, against only
16i million bushels in the same four weeks of 1894,
giving an increase of 13 million bushels. Of oats
the receipts were 10 million bushels against only 51million bushels. Taking wheat, corn, oats, barley and
rye together, the receipts foot up 54,234,893 bushels in
the four weeks of 1895 against only 35,581,158 bushels
in the four weeks of 1894, the increase thus being over
18^ million bushels. This gain, however, has been
unevenly distributed as between the different points,
benefiting chiefly the spring-wheat points like Chi
cago, Duluth and Minneapolis. Even at Chicago
there is a sharp distinction as between the springwheat and the winter wheat arrivals. The latter were
of small proportions, the former of very large propor
tions. Thus the inspection of winter wheat com
prised only 622 cars in November 1895 against 2,862
cars in November 1894, while on the other hand the
inspection of spring wheat embraced 9,208 cars against
199. The following will show just wbat points de
rived the largest advantage from the expansion in the
grain movement.

formidable when we remember that it follows §649,064 loss last year. The present year's total, however,
has been only once exceeded in any previous November.
Next after the St. Paul in amount of gain comes not a
Western road, but the New York Central, with §364,743 increase; last year the Central reported §60,427
decrease. The G-reat Northern has §352,502 increase,
and the Northern Pacific §335,028 increase, in both
cases after gains last year. Other large increases the
present year are §207,642 by the Canadian Pacific,
§156,559 by the Burlington Cedar Rapids & Northern,
§143,754 by the Minneapolis St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie,
§130,212 by the Illinois Central, §129,626 by the Mexi

ceipts shown by the foregoing may be taken roughly as
repiesenting 410,000 tous of freight. It follows there
fore that the gain to the Western roads from the larger
grain movement was much in excess of the loss to the
Southern roads from the smaller cotton movement. On
the other hand the deliveries of live stock in the West
seem to have been below those of a year ago, having
amounted at Chicago to only 26,886 car loads in No
vember 1895, against 29,5-10 car-loads in November
1894. The deliveries of hogs included in this total
were somewhat larger than a year ago, being 937,479
head against 936,896 head. The following shows the
grain acd provisions movement at Chicago for the
fall month for three years.

It will be observed from ihe foregoing that the total
grain receipts at Chicago for the even month were over
21 million bushels against only 11£ million bushels in
1894. This is an interesting fact because it shows that
of the increase of 184 million bushels at all the West
ern points for the four weeks ending November 30,
almost 10 million bushels was at Chicago. We have
already pointed out that the gain in wheat at least,
which accounts f o r l | million bushels of this 10 millions
increase, has been entirely in spring wheat and has
therefore inured to the roads carrying spring wheat
and not to those carrying winter wheat. Tne Milwau
kee & 8t. Panl stands at the head of the list of roads
reporting in that section, and Bhowa an increase in earn
ings i t the largo sum of §897,674, While this is a very
noceworthysmonntof improvement, itdoesnot appear so

It is worth noting that the conditions and results this
year and last year have been exactly reversed. Last year
we had a large cotton movement and a small "rain move
ment. The present year we have a small cotton move
ment and an expanding grain movement. List year
it was the Southern roads that made the beat exhibits
and the Northwestern roads the poorest exhibits. This
year the latter roads excel all others, while Southern
and Southwestern roads fall behind. The general re
sult, the present year, however, is decidedly better than
in November 1894. Last year the grand aggregate of
all the roads disclosed §730,190 loss, the present year
we have §2,959,503 gain, or 6-42 per cent. We may
say too that out of tin waole 124 roads con
tributing returns to our statements, only 37 have
losses this time while 87 have gains. The follow
ing carries the comparisons back for a number of
years.

We have already stated that the Northwestern group
of roads has on the whole done better than any other.
This is welt illustrated by the following six-year com
parison for nine well- known roads, showing larger
earnings in the aggregate for 1895 than for any pre
ceding year. What is true of the roads as a whole is
not true of the roads separately, with the exception of
the G-reat Northern aud the Burlington Cedar Rapids
& Northern, which alone have excelled their best
previous record, though the St. Paul, as already
Stated, o n u s very close to its largest previou
total.

Is.tb i f » beat and corn, were very good in 1894 and have
given the road a fair business. Rates, however, were low
ni d gram prices were such that much of our produce was
attracted to Cbicsgo, thus giving the road a shorter haul than
in normal times. We have charged to operating expenses
the rebuilding of all the old locomotives (about $95,000), an
amount in excels of the average anuual requirements. To
construction account we charged 35,000 ties, but only after
having charged the full average anuual requirements of
50,000 ties to the operating account.

(Report for year ending June 30, 1895.)
President W. G. Elliott says in part :
G e n e r a l R e s u l t s . — Notwithstanding the general depression
in i usmess and the destruction of the fruit and orange crop
in Florida during the past winter, we show an increase in the
net revenues over the previous year. The road has been kept
m good condition, substantial additions have been made to its
equipment, additional rails have been purchased and leased
to manufacturing enterprises, new side tracks have been
added and improvements constructed on the branch line at
Peteisburg, and the cost of all these has been included in the
operating expenses in accordance with our usual custom in
such cases. Ail fixed charges have been met, the usual num
ber of bonds redeemed, and the usual dividends paid. The
opening of the branen line at Petersburg for through freight
business has greatly relieved the trouble which attended trie
handling of this business through that city.
P h y s i c a l Condition.—As lo maintenance and improvements
the General Manager says:

Holders are informed that a communication has been received from
the H <n. Henry T, Thnrher, tn reply to our requoac to the President
lor directions to pay overdue coupons from iho treasury, notifying us
that the matter has been) eferred to the Secretary of the Treasury
who now has the same under advisement. The receivers have funds
in hand to pay Interest on the first mortgage bonds of the Union Paoitic !main line, but the. application tor that purpose is being opposed
ey Kansas Pacific bondholders, though the money has been earned by
cur properly. Holders are therefore notified that there is no occa
sion m sell their coupons ns a condition of surrendering the security
for liieir principal. In a few days the rights of the first mortgage
bondholders, and the value of their security, will l)e fully explained
to them by parties not interested in the inferior securities, j

Fr id a y , December 13, 1895,
Early in the week ths demand for wheat flour was fairly
brisk for trade brands, and there was also some buying of the
better shipping grades for export. Prices were quoted firm,
and in some instances slightly higher prices were asked; but
subsequently a decline in the graiu caused buyers to w ith
draw, but prices were steadily held. Rye flour has had a
fair call at steady prices. Buckwheat flour has received a
trifle more attention, and prices have been steady. Corn
mpal has been quiet and unchauged. To-day the market for
wheat flour was quiet but stead.
Speculation was fairly active in the market for wheat
futures early in the week and prices advanced rather sharply
on a brisk demand from shorts to cover contracts, stimulated
by au unexpected decrease in the supply in sight, but later
quiet and disappointing foreign advices and a confirmed free
movement of the croo in the Northwest promoted realizing
sales by “ longs,0 causing the improvement to be more than
lost. In the spot market a limited amount of business has
been transacted, and yesterday the sales included 40,000
bushels No. 1 hard spring for expo-1 to South Africa at 1%C.
