It is not so much of that metal in progress to-day which the ia movement oppose influencing men's minds as the past movement and the future posWe have remarked upon this subject in a subsequent column. We see that the Brussels Congress has made some progress since our last. That is to say, the committee appointed by the Conference to consider the various projects submitted have reported that they do not feel justified in accepting any of the plans proposed or in formulating a compromise between the varying monetary doctrines advanced. And yet, in face of this authoritative admission of complete failure to reach any conclusion, the cable dispatch adds that a proposal will be made at the next and last meeting, which is to be held on Tuesday, "that the Conference adjourn to June 6 without dissolving." -So reason is given for continued existence. We assume, in the lack of any other suggestion, that the adjournment will be made if it is made in the hope of thereby aiding to defer the repeal by Congress of the 1890 silver purchase law. This is our fear, and it is the only cause for our being disturbed over an attempt to prolong the life of this moribund body. Money on call has b:en more active this week and rates higher. Tnis movement his baen chiefly speculative, parties seeking to depress the prices of securities having taken advantage of the current shipments of gold, and also of the prospect that a large amount would go forward next week, to bid money up and so influence the stock market. The first flurry was oq Tuesday, efforts being made in the afternoon of that day, when the gold shipments became known, to create a scare in the market, rates being run up to 6 and even 7 per cent, but immediately thereafter there were large amounts offering without finding takers and rates fell back at once up to Tuesday night the extremes for actual loans made were 5^ and 4 per cent. On Wednesday there was some money put out at T per cent, but that brought 1 the mark .t a compj,ratively liberal supply. sibilities. ; Thursday money was easy in the morning but in the was again bid up from 4^ to 15 per cent and moderate amounts were loaned at 10 per cent, making the average up to Thursday night 5^ per cent.

England gained £65,444 bullion during the week, holding at the close £24,758,144 this gain, as we are also advised by our correspondent, was due to the export of £40,000, wholly to Bucharest, to the import of £15,000 from Poriugal and £5,000 from Brazil, and to the receipt of £35,000 from fie interior of Great B-itain. The Bank of France gained £336,000 gold and the Bj,nk of Germany, since the last report, shows a decrease of about £204,000 of this metal. Foreign exchange has been dull and firm this week and, compared with last Friday, rates remained unchanged at 4 86| for sixty day and 4 89 for sight until Thursday, when the Bank of British North America and Baring Magoun & Co. advanced the long rate to 4 87. Yesterday Brown Bros, reduced long to 4 86 and short to 4 88i, and the close was weak active money. The marin consequence of ket has been almost bare of commercial bills and the ; few that were offered were promptly absorbed. There are no new loan bills being drawn and few or no drafts securities, and the demand has been from bankers, who are closing out matuiing loan bills and remitting the proceeds to the other side, thus returning money which has been used here during the past sixty or ninety days, and it is going back in the form of gold. The shipmeuts of gold this week have been on Tuesday by H-idelbach, Ickelheimer & Co., $1,000,000; by Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co., $750,000 by Baring, Magoun & Co., $500,000, and by Kidder, Peabody & Co., of Boston, $500,000. On Wednesday Lazird Freres engaged $1,000,000 and Ladenbuig, Thalmann & Co. $500,000 for shipment on Thursday, and $500,000 was also shipped on Peabody & Co., making day by Kidder, that made against chiefly ; the total for week the $4,750,000. It was reported on Thursday that more gold would go by the steamer sailing today for Liverpool, but now it is said that none will be sent until Tuesday of next week. Exchange yesterday, as alie idy stated, closed weak, with rates for actual business 4-86 to 4-86i for long, 4-87i to 4-88 for shoit, 4 88^ to 4-88i for cable transfers, 4-85i prime and 4.85 to 4-85i for documentary commercial bills.

The Great Northern or Manitoba system is each year assuming increased importance, and with the completion of the Pacific Extension to Puget Sound takes its place day. which American railroad history furnishes some striking examples, that have made, with the aid of favorable opportunities and the possession of the right kind of management, very wonderful growth and development within a short period of time. The Manitoba's record, though, presents some special features which make the road prominent even among of the properties distinguished for favorable results. From the very first its career has been a singularly fortunate one, as has been many times pointed out in Organized in 1879 out of the old these columns. bankrupt St. Paul & Pacific which appeared to have about as unpromising a future as any railroad in existence at that time it was within two years raised to a dividend basis, and the dividends have been continued ever since. In the interval since 1879 the mileage has been steadily enlarged and extended, but evidently (judging by the results) in a very judicious manner. When finally the corporate form of the Manitoba no longer answered for the purpose of carrying out the extensive plans for the future which the management had in mind, the Great Northern was organized and In its control of the Manitoba lines turned over to it. new form the property has been just as prosperons as in its old. Of course the lines in the system have encountered good years and bad years and profits have varied accordingly, bnt at no time since the Manitoba first began to pay dividends has the era of prosperity been interrupted. And the return to the stockholders has been not alone in the shape of dividends they have had many valuable privileges in addition, as for instance the right to take Great Northern shares at 50, now selling in the market at 135. The annual report for the year ending Jtine 30 1892 possesses additional interest by reason of the early comMr. James J. pletion of the line to the Pacific Ooast. Hill, the President, well says that the advent of the company to the Pacific Ooast will mark an important change in the general position of the system as regards — — — trans-Continental traffic, ffe also states that the ex- being heavily ballasted with either broken stone or gravel over its entire length, and that in all respects the work on the line is most thorough and substantial. The expectation is that the extension will bn ready for business in the spring of 1893, and Mr. Hill says that its condition then will be such that itj traffic can be handled with all the safety and regularity of an tension is old line. It is important to note that while a portion the extension was completed before the close of the jfate fiscal year^no part of it is included in the stateof that year, either in mileage or earnings or general operations. The results therefore will be useful in showing the very favorable outcome under the old for and before the opening of the Pacific line. under review the company of course had year In the the advantage to be derived from large crops and the situation is u t'^,329,414, «t the more wtisfactory a« follows an increase of $007,716 U the year preeadiBf. in In other words, in two years the gross earnings bar* risen from a total of «9,375»,fift<» to a total of •la.WH,. to milimgo operated Th' 128, or 34 per cent. i been in the interval has among the great trans-Continental lines of the age nnmber The Manitoba belongs to that class of railroad baaed being properties, ments over 23 per cent, which for 1890. late (oi, .{.<.. ^.lively slight, the av«r* retnms are 1891 and 2,788 of miles of road on which the 2,865 for 1892, 2,796 for It is well to simply point ont that these flgarM r»> Manitoba the to lines which proper, are operated under lease by the Great Northern; if the various proprietary lines whose accounts are kept separ* such as the Montana Central, the Eastern of Minnesota, the Willmar k Sioux Falls and the Dnlnth Watertown & Pacific, were included, the increase is arately, earnings would be When we come somewhat still different. year preceding is larger. showing to the net earnings the il In that case the increase over the only 1285,170 —that is, an increase of 2 1-3 million dollars in gross has yielded less than three hundred thousand dollars increase in net. Even aa compared with two years ago, with an increase of 3 1-8 million dollars in gross the addition to the net haa been only 1520,405. In brief, the ratio of expenses te earnings has risen from 5111 per cent in 1890 to 53*14 per cent in 1891 and to 59-51 per cent in 1892. If the extent of road operated had greatly increased in the interval, the explanation would of course be obvious but we have seen that average mileage has not greatly changed in the two years. This established, it will no doubt be thought that the experience of the Manitoba has been similar to that of so many other roads which, while having done a heavily increased business, were forced to do it at such a small margin of profit that the resulting gain in net income was necessarily small. But examination of the traffic data does not reveal a drop in rates sufficient to make such suppositioa tenable. To be sure rates are all and the average has now got down the time declining^ to quite low fignreSj being only 1-23 cents per ton per mile for 1892, which compares with 2*51 cents per ton per mile in 1882, only ten years before. In the last two years, however, and that is the period to which we are limited in our comparison the changes have been relatively slight, the average at 1*234 for 1892 contrasting with 1-238 for 1891 and with 1280 for 1890. — We must look elsewhere, therefore, for the sons for the increase in operating cost in main rea- these two and analysis of the expense accounts very quickly Under the growth in serves to clear up the matter. business the total of expenses would naturally rise from year to year, entirely apart from all other considerations. Looking at group of expenses designated " Conducting Transportation," we find an increase from 1,242,489 in 1890 and 11,303,051 in 1891 to 91,541,468 in 1893, which is quite a mo<lerate addition considering the expansion in the volume of traffic. " Motive Power " shows a more decidefl addition, the expenses nnder that head having increased from $1,478,639 in 1890 and •1,628,644 in 1891 to 3,«30,52« in I8W* It is not, however, till we come to the ooet of " Maintenance of Road and Structures" that we soo the source of the great augmentation in oxponsoe, for there wo find an increase from only 1776,607 in IWO years, —— THE CHRONICLE. 1014 to 81,243,001 in 1891 and to $2,243,543 in 1892, about j if Vol. LV.] we should include the whole of the Great Northern and debt per mile would be 1^ million dollars more baring tbus been spent in 1892 stock, the average of stock than in 1890 that is, three times as much went for maintenance of way in 1892 as in 1890.

As a matter of fact the company spent larg;e amounts in sinking its tracks at Minneapolis and also a considerable sum for ballasting the road with gravel. In the revenue account for the year it is stated that aggregate expenses for the twelve months include $750,000 for permanent imin the year preceding only provements and renewals $100,000 was reported as having been expended in that way. only $32,058. — . ; In the Inter-State Commerce Statistical Report for 1890 we find that in Group VI of United States railroads (the group in which the Mani- toba arc placed) the average of funded $23,674 per mile and the average of stock $22,567 per mile, or $46,241 together. The proprietary debt lines is much the same way. On the Eastern of Minnesota the bonded debt averages as much as $64,926 per mile (the average for the stock, all owned by the Great Northern, being $69,070 per lines are distinguished in mile); but this road is is entirely owing to the fact that the a short one and owns very extensive terminals docks, warehouses, elevators, &c., in Duluth aud West Superior; moreover, its net earnings average $8,631 per mile while interest charges are only $3,246 per With a contribution from earnings of three-quarters mile.

It appears that out of the results debt averages $31,593 and the stock (owned by the of operations of the Manitoba leased lines the com- Great Northern) $19,745 per mile. The Duluth pany was able to meet the Manitoba rental in fall for interest and dividends and also the 5 per cent dividends paid on Great Northern stock, and yet leave a small balance $4,056. But in addition the Great Northern Company had a large income from investments and — miscellaneous sources, raising the total surplus for the twelve months to $943,475. That is to say, after paying 5 per cent on its stock from the operations of the Manitoba, the Great Northern earned pretty nearly 5 per cent more from its income from investments. Of course with the opening of the Pacific extension the company will have increased fixed charges to meet to the extent of the new bonds issued, but the figures given indicate what a position of strength the company holds. The large income from investments comes in part from the company^s holdings of stocks and bonds in the proprietary companies, which in their operations Thus the Great reveal very satisfactory results. Northern owns all the stock and bonds of the Willmar & Sioux Falls, which in the late year earned $109,107 above all expenses and fixed charges. The Montana Central for the same period earned an excess of 183,800 and the Eastern of Minnesota an excess of $467,435, the entire stock in both cases being owned by the Great Northern. The Minneapolis Union stock is also owned, and that road earned $76,717 in excess oE all charges. The Duluth Watertown & Pacific is the one road which shows a deficit, expenses and charges having exceeded the gross income by $81,582; both stock and bonds are owned by the Great Northern. Then of the company is interested as owner in the results operations of the Northern Steamship Company Watertown & Pacific has only_$19,687 debt per mile and the Willmar & Sioux Falls but $17,868 per mile, with a little over $10,000 stock per mile on each, both stock aud bonds being held by the Great Northern. The Great Northern has no floating debt in the shape of loans or bills payable, but on account of theconstruction work in connection with the Pacific Extension the total of current liabilities is somewhat larger than usual. Up to June 30 1892 the company had spent $21,124,472 for construction of the Pacific line, and received only $12,184,580 from the sale of bonds, besides $4,297,638 on account of the issue of the Collateral Trust bonds. The ordinary current liabilities June 30 (including accrued interest) were $3,606,502 and the construction liabilities $2,603,051, making $6,209,553 together, while the liabilities of the pro- prietary companies were $1,777,317, giving a grand ag- gregate of $7,986,870, against which the company held Since the closa $4,744,431 of cash and accounts due. of the year the company has received a large additional amount of cash Trust bonds. These payment in bonds of the Collateral were ofEered to Great Northern stockholders at 72^, and at that figure tha 15 millions of bonds would yield $10,875,000 in cash, of which the company had received up to June 30, aa we have seen, only $4,297,638, leaving over 6| million dollars still to be paid to it by next week the company will have the entire amount, as the purchase money was payable in five equal instalments, the last falling due December 21. ; GROSS AND NET EARNINGS FOR OCTOBER, October earnings make rather poor comparisons with lu some respects the results are the least 1369,286 last year.

At the present time this demand is lacking, and tlie conclusion is almost inevitable that it is checked bv the silver situation in this coimtry, to which more than usual attention has just been drawn by tlie discussions in the Monetaiy Conference at Biiissels. Once satisfy the foreign investor that every railroad obligation in this coimtrj; will be paid in gold and that there is no danger of our getting on a silver basis for railroad earnings, payment of dividends, etc., and the demand for our securities would probably spring up like magic. It is only necessary to refer to the effect on the country of the resumption of gold payments in 1879 to get an idea of the way foreign capital is simple rejieal of the influenced by the currency question. silver law of 1890 withoiit any other legislation following it could hardly fail to have a most beneficial effect in stimulating the demand for our securities and stopping the exports of gold. The advance in Western Union has been partly lost, and the cause for the upward turn of ten points or more has not been fully accomited for. Possibly Western Union was selected as a stock which can earn its dividends and pay them in gold or its equivalent under all circumstances likely to occur. Again, it may be intended to change the Gould policy by which a nominal surplus was accimiulated out of earnings and then capitalized by a large scrip dividend. Tiiis policy in corporation management is always unfavorable to minority stockholders and favorable to those on the inside, as the latter have the chance to buy up stock quietly for some time before the dividend is declared. The open market rates for call loans during the week on Btock and bond cdllaferSIs have ranged from 4 TO 2.5 per cent, the average being 7 per cent. To-day rates on call were 6 to 25 per cent. Cominercial paper is quoted at 5@5J^ per cent. The Bank of England weekly statement to-day showed an increase in bullion of £65,000, and the percentage of reserve to liabilities was 48"09, against 47'97 last week the discount rate remains unchange(i at 3 per cent.

The rates for sterling and Continental bills have been very strong, but gold shipments are less than was expected, and amount to !j(4,7.50,000 for the week, none going to-morrow. It is supposed that more gold will go out next week, but the high rates for call money may check the movement.

The President of this company, Mr. A. F. Ravenel, remarks in his report that there was a very serious decrease during the past year in nearly every department of the business, amounting in the aggregate to $75,386. This is only to be explained by the general depresBion prevalent throughout the cotton-growing districts, and the unusually low prices current for their products, followed by a greatly reduced demand for phosphate rock and the manufactured fertilizers. In the meantime, he says, there has been no relaxation of effort or expenditure towards the maintenance of the roadway and its equipment up to th^ir former standard of excellence. "The East Shore Terminal Company has nearly completed its arrangements for the effective transfer of all freights between our terminus and the various wharves of the city, •while the Ashley River Railroad Company has recently extended its track from the Junction to the several phosphate and other works on the Ashley River, which should greatly We also have the facilitate our communication with them. pleasure of informicg you that there is now in course of construction a first-class branch railroad from our Monck's Comer Station to a place nine and a half miles distant therefrom, to be known as 'New England City,' and to become, it is claimed, the future county seat of Berkeley County."

At a meeting of the bondholders of theOregon Pacific B-dilway. in the Farmers' Loan & Trust Company — Building, the announcement was made that the plan of reorganization, which *pas formed last spring was a failure. The road is now in the hands of a receiver, and under an order from the Oregon Supreme Court it is to he sold at public auction January 16, as per advertisement in the Chronicle. Mr. James A. Blair said that in view of the approaching foreclosure sale the bondholders would have to submit to an assessment if they wanted to save their property. It would be a good idea, he thought, to employ an expert to go over the Oregon Pacific road and ascertain what the property was really worth. If the road was worth $1,250,000 a practical reorganization plan ought to be put into operation, but if the proprty was not worth that much, the bondholders might as well let the thing go. A resolution providing for the appointment of a special committee to investigate and report on the condition of the Oregon Pacific was discussed. It was proposed to form a pool of bondholders to buy the road, reorganize it, and turn it over to a new company. Final action on this resolution was deferred until a future meeting. L 8an Antonio * Aransas Pass.— The following alterations, or modifications, of the plan of reorganization of this company, originally made March 2, 1891, were approved by the Committee of Reorganization at a meeting held Dec. 14, 1892, and are now proposed and submitted to the depositors under the origibal plan, with the recommendation that the same be accepted — Silversmiths' Compauyj This new industrial corporation has been organized with a capital of -^14,000,000.

Heavy steel has been laid in place ot flfty-six ani sixty pound sections on abouD one bunared and sixty mile3 of ttie main track. The wooden bridge across the Mississippi River at Minne Your Company has, at the expiration of its contract with the American Express Cjmpany, organized the Great Northern Express Company, which is now operating on all its lines. It is believed that the revenue from this source will hi largely increased by this change. During the year §89,000 of the St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba Rill way Company's First Mortgage 7 per cent Land Grant Bonds were exchanged for the Consolidated Mortgage 43^ per cent B )nds of that company, and liy the operation ot the_Firbt Mortgage Sinking Fund an additional amount of $435,80) of the Fir^t .Mortgage Bonds were redeemed and caaceled, thereby reducing the interest to be paid by this Company as rental under the lease, $33,031 per annum. It is coafideutly expected that the process of exchange of First Mortgage 7 per cent Bonds for Coosoliiiatel Mortgage 41^ per cent Bjnds, which is conlinuing rapidly, t02;ether with the f urciier operation of the Sinking Fund, will effect the early extinguishment of the First Mortgage. Upon the retirement of that mortgage, the proceeds of the Manitoba Company's lands will be devoted t) the parcbase and cancellation of the Consolidated Mortgage Boad^.

Dear Sir 4 I herewith respectfully submit tha following report regarding the Minneapolis St. Oloud Land Orantior the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893 & : The work of replacing wooden trestles with stone culverts and earth embankments has been continued, witli the intention of making all this work permanent as fast as renewals are required. Pariicular attention has been given to the increase of terminal yards and passing tracks. About three hundred miles of the main track between Barnesville and Pacitic Junction are being heavily billasted with gravel, and the entire distance will be finished ne-\t year. The gradiug and track-laying on the Pacific Extension between Spokane Falls and Puget Sound have been rapidly pushed forward, and it is expected that the track will bs completed to the Pacific Coast not later than the end of the present year. The Pacific Extension is being heavily ballatad with either broken stone or gravel over the entire length of the line, and your Board of Directors has great pleasure in saying that the entire work on this line is most thorough and substantial in all respects. The crossing of the Columbia River is being made by a heavy steel bridge, which will be fully completed by the last of January next. The Pacific Extension will be readv for traffic early in 1893, and its condition will then be such that its traffic can be handled with all the safety and legalarity of an old line.

The general inclination of value, however, was upward, as the construction placed upon the apparent relative positiocs of supply and demand favored the bullish element. During Saturday and Monday the market fluctuated with some violence and appeared to lack strength, but on Tuesday the bulls commenced to secure greater advantage, which was increased during Wednesday, and yesterday the buoyant tendency was quite pronounced. A feeling had arisen that the Ami option bill would eventually be defeated, and to that was added the influence of a shrinking crop movement in the Atlantic cotton States, increased demand from domestic spinners and more encouraging advices from Europe. To-day's market has been exceedingly nervous and irregular, but at the close the inclination was rather in favor of buyers. For cotton on the spot the demand was only fair but offerings light, and prices have advanced J^c, closing at 9^c. for middling uplands. The Cotton Exchange will be closed on the Saturdays preceding Christmas and New Year's day. The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 1,514,500 bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week 3,763 bales, including for export, 2,163 for consumption! for speculation and 1,600 on contract.

In connection with this offering the City Secretary makes the following statement coacerning Houston's financial condition. " The total bonded debt of the city, exclusive of this proposed issue and exclusive of the $60,000 issued within the present year (1892), is $1,687,900, of which $1,276,80) represents the balance of the principal yet unpaid of the bonded debt outstanding November 24, 1875, the date of the adoption of the prt sent Constitution of the State of Texas. Of this $1,276,800 there are still outstanding $157,100 »f the original bonds, while the remaining $1,119,700, with accrued interest, has been funded in bonds of a later issue; and these later bonds, with the original $157,100 not funded, all of which represent debt incurred prior to the adoption of the present Constitution, constitute about 98 per cent of the entire present bonded debt, exclusive of the $60,000 issued within the present year. " This debt is secured by a special tax levy of 1 per cent ad valorem upon all property in the city subject to taxation. The proceeds of this tax are handled by a Board of Liquidation, created under a special law of the State of Texas, and after providing for the interest and sinking fimd cf all outstanding bonds there will still remain of said proceeds an annual surplus of over $40,000. " Besides the present levy of 1 per cent for the protection of this bonded debt of $1,687,900, there are further tax levies for other purposes, general and special, amounting to 1 1-7 per cent, thus making the aggregate tax levy for all purposes apEarently exceed the 2 per cent limit provided by our charter ut we claim that under the decision of the Supreme Court of Texas, in the case of Voorhees vs. The Mayor, Aldermen, etc. (70th Texas Reports, p. 331), the 1 per cent levied as above, being for the payment of a debt incurred prior to the adoption of the State Constitution, is not to be computed in estimating the levy authorized by the charter, and that we may, under our charter, increase our tax levy to 3 per cent, exclusive of that 1 per cent bond tax. " Our floating debt is about $80,000, mainly for current expenses accumulated during the past six months, and which will probably, before February 1 1893, be practically wiped out by our January tax collections.
