were built by 13 companies in 1895, against only
695 in 1894, while the reports from the car build­
ing companies show that 31,893 freight cars were
built, against but 17,029 in 1894. In this we see of
course the more liberal expenditures made by the
railroads as the result of the improvement which
ha3 occurred in their earnings. We need hardly say
that the year was far from a normal one neverthe­
less, and that the margin for further improvement is
very great. In the five years preceding 1894 the num­
ber of engines built was never less than 2,000 in any
year, while the number of freight cars built in 1893
was 51,000 and in 1892 93,000, against the 31,893 for
1895.
During the panicky movement on Friday of last
week money loaned in comparatively large amounts
on call at 80 per cent, and a few loans were recorded
at the rate of 100 per cent per annum. On Saturday,
though usually on that day there is no demand, the en­
gagements until Monday being made on Friday, money
•loaned as high as 50 per cent par annum. Oa Mon­
day there was an attempt made to advance rates,
but after 75 wa3 bid and some transactions were
at 50 per cent, the rate fell off. On news of
the action of the Bank Clearing Uouse Associa­
tion large amounts were offered at 6 per cent,
and one trust company is said to have offered
time loans for all the year at 6 per cent, while
another trust company offered large amounts on
call at this rate. Good borrowers, with acceptable
collateral, had no difficulty even on Friday in obtain­
ing money at 6 per cent at the banks ; but some bor­
rowers, and notably those who during periods of ex­
treme ease had required the banks to markdown stand­
ing loa n to the lowest curreit rates, found that their
rule worked both wayi, and when they applied for
money during the semi-panic they were required to
pay current rates, and some banks obtained 25 per
cent for new loans.
The extremes for call money at the Stock Exchange
on Monday and Tuesday were from 3 to 50 per cenr,
averaging abmt 10 per cent. On Thursday the range
was between 5 and 8 per cent; yesterday between 4
and 9 per cent. Banks and trust companies have
loaned generally at 6 per cent. There has been a
good inquiry for time contracts and 6 per cent is
bid, without regard to the period of maturity, and some
business has been done at this rate. Tne dealings in
commercial paper are at a standstill, though some choice
four months’ single names have been accepted at 6 per
cent, and the quotation is nominally 6 per cent for the
best without regard to classification. 8 >tne sales of
good names have been made at 9 per cent. Tnis does
not reflect the needs of bgrowers but the necessities of
brokers who have bought the paper and are now
anxious to raise money upon it. No Clearing-House
loan certificates, as already stated, have been applied
for by any of the banks, none being in a position to
require them, and each is probably waiting for the
other to take the initiative, as was the case in 1893,
when the Bank of Commerce took the leal, chiefly to
encourage other banks. The fact that the certificates
aithoriz d on Monday bear 6 per cent interest, and
that 1-16 of 1 per cent commission is require! to be
paid to the Clearing House, will very na'urally ten! to
restrict their issue. The Pniladelphia and the Boston
Clearing House banks on Tuesday decided to issue cer­
tificates, and the interest rate at B >ston is 7'30 per
cent.

The Bank of Eogland minimum rate of discount re­
mains unchanged at 2 per cent. The cable reports dis­
counts of Bixty to ninety day bank bills in London 1$
per cent. The open market rate at Paris is 2 per cent
and at Bsrlin and Frankfort it is 3 }@ 4 per cent. Ac­
cording to our special cable from London, the Bank of
Eogland lost £944,000 bullion during the week and
held at the close of the week £43,632,321. Our cor­
respondent further advises us that the loss was due to
shipments to the interior of Great Britain of £1,002,000, to the export of £126,000 (of which £116,000 was
to the Argentine Repnblic and £10,000 to China,)
and to an import of £184,000, of whicl} £106,000 was
bought in the open market, £59,000 came from H ol­
land and £19,000 from other countries.
The foreign exchange market was very strong on
Monday and Tuesday, notwithstanding the stringent
money market, mainly because there were apprehen­
sions that some difficulty would be experienced by the
foreign bankers in obtaining legal tenders from the
banks with which to exchange for gold at the SnbTreasury, and in some cases rates were advanced for
the purpose of checking business, and some bankers
declined, to draw at all, preferring to wait until the
situation grew more settled or the outlook less uncer­
tain. The only change made in nominal rates on Mon­
day was an advance in short sterling by Heidelbach,
Ickelheimer & Co. to 4 90$. Quotations for actual
business were wide, being 4 87$@4 88 for long, 4 89}
@4 89} for short and 4 90@4 90$ for cable transfers,
the former being one-qaarter of a cent and the latter
one-half to three quarters of a cent per pound sterling
above the closing prices of the previous Friday. It was
then announced that Muller, Schall & Co. would ship
♦300,000, and L. von H iffmann & Co. 1250,000 gold
by the steamer sailing for Europe on Wednesday, and
the Bank of British North America and the Mer­
chants’ Bank of Canada each withdrew 1100,000 gold
for shipment to Canada, tho Montreal markets reflect­
ing the panicky fall in securities here. On Tues­
day Brown Bros., the Bank of British North America,
Heidelbach, Ickelneimer & Co. and the Merchants
Bank of Canada advanced their rates to 4 89 for sixty
day and 4 91 for sight, while Lazard Freres posted
4 89$ for the former and 4 91 for the latter. Rates
for actual business were 4 88}@4 88} for long, 4 89}@
4 90} for short and 4 91@4 91$ for cable transfers,
and during the day some of the bankers demanded
4 92 for the latter. The announcement was then
made that Baring, Magoun & Co. would Bhip
♦500,000 gold to Europe on the following day
for *he account of Kidder, Peabody & Co., of
Boston; that L izird Freres would send 8500,000,
and that L. von Hoffmann & Co. had increased their
engagement to ♦dOO.OOO, making, with ^300,000 taken
by Mailer, Schall & Co., ♦1,700,000. Wednesday was
the Cnristmas holiday. On Thursday Brown Bros,
reduced the short rate to 4 90, while Biring, Magoun
& Co. moved their rates up to 4 89 for sixty days and
4 90$ for sight, and the Canadian B ink of Commerce
posted 4 89 for long and 4 91 for short. The market
opened with an easier tone for sight bills and cable
transfers, due mainly to the more settled feeling in the
money market and also to offerings of bills against
intended shipments of gold on 8 iturday, and rates for
actual business were 4 88}@ 4 88} for sixty days, 4 89$
@4 90 for sight and 4 90$@4 91 for cable transfers. In
the afternoon the tone was easier all around
and rates for actual business at the close wore 4 88@

4 88i for long, 4 89$@4 89$ for short and 4 8 9 f@ 4 90
for cable transfers, and the reaction was mainly due to
the fact that rates had been too sharply, and without
good reason, advanced early in the week. Yesterday
posted rates were irregularly changed, some barkers
advancing half a cent for long and short and others
reducing half a cent. Rates for actual busiuess were
reduced one-quarter of a cent for 60 day sterling. The
close was steady. Engagements for shipment to Eu
rope to-day are: Lizard Freres, $1,000,000; L. von
Hoffman & Co., $500,000, and $500,000 by Baring,
Magoun & Co., making for the day $2,000,000 and for
the week $3,700,000.
The Bank of Montreal also
took $200,000 from its vaults for shipment to Canada.

We have noted above that the Pennsylvania Rtilroad
makes a very good return of earnings for the month of
November. On the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie
there is an increase of $411,767 in gross aDdof $100,771
in net, and on the lines west of Pittsburg an increase
of $494,989 in grots and of $275,546 in net, giving to­
gether $906,756 addition to the gross and $376,317 to
the net. It will be observed that the company has con
tinued its policy of appropriating a considerable part of
the increase in earnings to the expense accounts,
presumably for the purpose of further improving
the condition of the property.
This applies with
particular force to the lines east of Pittsburg, where, on
an addition of $5,437,079 to the gross earnings for
the eleven months, expenses have been augmented in
the sum of $4,245,530, leaving only $1,191,550 in­
crease in net. Combining these Eastern lines with the
lines west of Pittsburg, we find that the total gain on
the whol system for the eleven months has been $9,596,176, of » hich $5,850,654 went for increased expend­
itures and outlaws, leaving $3,745,522 gain in the net.

for a Dumber of years past for November and the
eleven months.

HOUSE OF R E PR E SE N T A TIVES.
The House of Representatives has not been idle this
Week ; it has so far conform ed to the needs of the hour
as to remain in session and mature a bond and certificate
bill. We do not mean that the measure is in its main
features what we think would best suit the conditions
at the present moment; nor that it is at all likely the
bill will pass the Senate, even if it does the House, in
the form it has been introduced. A ll we iut nded to
affirm was that the House has shown a very commend­
able appreciation of the urgency of the situation in so
promp ly getting a measure before it, and further in
following that act up by fixing to-day at 3 P. M. to
take the vote. When the Senate meets on Monday the
bill will consequently be ready for its consideration. It
would be hazardous to offer an opinion with reference
to the action of the U pper House. R eport says that
body, as at present constituted will not pass any bond
bill, and this report apparently is confiimed by the
opinions of leading members.

THE CHRONICLE.

It will be noticed as a first feature that the bonds au­
thorized by the proposed law are redeemable in “ coin,”
not specifically in “ gold.” N >doubt under the present
peculiar circumstances a “ g old ” bond i3 the require­
ment. At the same time we understand the fetling
which has given rise to hesitation in accepting the
proposition to substitute “ g old” for the word “ coin ”
in the act. One claim is that to change this word
would be to discredit the bonds already out; it would
be like sayirg that bonds issued under this law are
payable in gold, but the issues already outstanding the
Government may redeem in gold or silver as it elects.
A more material objection urged is that to insert the
word gold would be an act of humiliation, derogatory
to the credit and dignity of the nation. Wnen one
remembers that the United States has practically three
times redeemed its public debt in full, and further that
of the vast number of obligations put out during our
late war all the coin bonds have been paid in gold,
although only currency largely depreciated was re­
ceived for them— when these facts are recalled it
seems to many as if the honesty and intention of our
people ought not to be questioned now.
All this would be unanswerable had not currency
affairs during recent years experienced a change which
makes any inference drawn from events that trans­
pired previous to such change far from conclusive.
We have often given the reasons why the promised re­
demption should at this juncture be stated plainly
to be in gold.
Those reasons are based upon a
new set of facts which go to make up the financial
situation of to-day. We will not repeat them at any
length. They indicate such a radical defect in our
currency that at the moment capitalists will give a
materially better price for our bonds if gold redemp­
tion is promised.
It does not seem then to be a
case for sentiment.
Besides if it is the intention
in any event to pay gold, and if by saying so the
borrower can sail the obligations which are to be
marketed at a higher price than can be obtained
if the word “ coin” is used, it would be diffi­
cult to see any wisdom in hesitation as to which
should
be the course adopted.
Then again
what we want to borrow at this time is gold. What it
is need< d for is to support our gold standard, the sta­
bility of which is in danger. On this occasion too a
serious doubt has been felt more or less at home and
everywhere abroad whether we can long sustain this
standard. If the dislocation feared should befall our
currency and the change was to silver values, the
dive'g^noe would be so wide that to hold that “ coin ”
reriempticn still meant “ g old ” redem >tion would re­
quire a degree of virtue in our legislators more positive
than they have recently given any evidence of. Hence
we see the force of the call now for a contract without
ambiguity and the necessity there is for it if the best
price is ro be secured.
There is still another feature of the bill in question
which is unfortunate. We refer to the maximum in­
terest limit of 3 per cent fixed for the bonds. Whether
geld in any considerable amouut can be obtained at
that pric- is at least questiouable. 8 >me appear to think
that a 3 p»T cent loan might be made popular if offered
in such a way as to facilitate payment for the bonds;
by that means (he hope is that the offer would prove
efftc ive in drawing ont the hoarded metal. This
idea it is reported is to be tested on the occasion of
th>- nett nond issue, which rumor yesterday said is to
be announced at an early day. We have no faith in

(he success of the attempt. The 3 pi-r cent cer­
tificates proposed in the second section of the bill
to meet a deficit in revenue, payment for which is,to be
made in legal tenders, could no doubt bs successfully
fl rated in the form of a popular loan if an occasion
should arise for its use, which does not seem likely.But a sale of bonds requiring gold in payment, and
gold which is not to be drawn out of the Treasury
again, demands good leadership and careful manage­
ment. The last two bond sales well illustrate the
relative usefulness of the Syndicate and the Popular
methods.

R A T E WARS— THEIR
A N D CURE.

CAUSE

In the January number of the “ Forum,” just
issued, Mr. John W. Midglev, the Chairman of the
Western Freight Association, has an article under the
above caption. Mr. Midgley’a position and experi­
ence invest what he has to say with considerable in­
terest, and at the same time the suggestions he makes
for dealing with the sitnation are worth careful con­
sideration. *
Mr. Midgley traces the gradual development of the
rate-making power, and shows how the evils and the
difficulties under the present system have grown
up.
He points out that the original expectation,
at the time of the introduction of the railroad, was
that all persons who desired to run their wagons
thereon would be at liberty to do so on payment of
specified tolls. This idea was quick'y seen to be im­
practicable. The fact that the companies monopolized
the service led them to acquire for their directors, in
their charters, the right to prescribe reasonable rates
for the transportation of persons and property. Mr.
Midgley calls the authority thus conveyed ‘an agree­
able fictioD,” and says that however proper it may
have been in its early recognition it has no place in
modern praotioe, and has not had for many years.
“ The idea that the directors of railroad companies
would calmly adjust the constantly varying acht dules
of fares and freight may have occurred to the original
promoters of those enterprises as entirely practicable,
but it has not proved so to their successors. They
seldom raeetoftener than quarterly, and then concern
themselves chiefly with a review of the financial con­
dition of the properties. And yet that depends mainly
upon the maintenance of remunerative charges for the
services performed.”
Mr. Midgley also referB to the changes in railroad
practice rn«de nec ssary by the enactment of the Inter­
state law. Before the passage of that law carriers did
not modify their tariffs at intermediate stations when
they became involved in rate reductions at more distant
points. But now they are obliged to take cognizance
of the prohibition contained iu the 4th section of the
act and wnich forbids charging a greater sum for a
shorter than for a longer distance iu the same direc­
tion, the shorter being included within the longer. The
effect of that clause, if it be strictly regarded, is to
compel railroads to reduce their intermediate rates to
the level upon which, by the force of land or water
competition, they may be obliged to carry their more
remote traffic. Wdile in theory the principle seems
admirable, in practice it is de-tructive. To prove the
nnsoundness of the proposition that the collection of a
larger sum for a shorter than for a longer distance can­
not be justified, Mr. Midgley takes for illustration the
case of Iteno, Nev., on the Central Pacific, one of the

1136

principal towns in that sparsely populated State. A t
San Francisco, 30C miles beyond, there is severe com ­
petition with ships, which have a free course of the A t­
lantic and Pacific oceans, in carrying trans-Continental
traffic. The railroads in competition with the ocean
not infrequently have to make rates which for the service
across the Continent are unreasonably low. Should they,
then, be held down to no greater charge from New
York to Reno than their competition with the ocean
may compel them to accept from New York to Sm
Francisco. If a merchant at Reno patronizes the ocean
or a rival railroad, neither can carry his goods to Reno,
but must deliver them at San Francisco, and the mer­
chant would still have to pay the charges of the Cen­
tral Pacific from the coast to Reno. Obviously then
the latter company would be justified in charging from
the Atlantic seaboard to Reno direct the regular rates
from New York to Stu Francisco, plus the local rate
thence to Reno, and this is the rule usually followed.
As to the general rate situation, Mr. Midgley avers
that “ even an approximate maintenance of agreed
rates between American railroads for a protracted
period is practically unknown.” Tnis is certainly a
very strong statement, and it carries additional weight
because it is made by one having inside knowledge of
the facte. ' i t ought to impress all those interested in
railroad properties with the urgent need of providing
a remedy. The difficulty is chiefly in the fact that by
the fifth section of the Inter-State law the device
formerly employed by the railroads to ensure
the maintenance of rates has been taken away
and no substitute furnished. As to the o i l practice
of allowing the inferior lines an acceptable share of
the competitive traffic, or an equivalent in money— in
other words, the entering into pooling arrangements—
Mr. Midgley holds the same view as that entertained
by all competent critics, namely that it was clearly
justified from the standpoint of expediency.
T oe
stronger lines could afford to concede something to
the weaker, as by so doing they secured protection for
their larger interests. “ It was in the nature of a pay­
ment for insurance against injuries which might other­
wise be inflicted.” Mr. Midgley also notes that from
the earliest competition in England, “ joint-purse ar­
rangements,” as they are called in that country, have
continued, and have operated to prevent rate wars.
Bat our readers will be most interested in knowing
what cures Mr. Midgley has to offer for the existing
unfortunate condition of things. He summarizes his
suggestions under five heads as follows:
1. Create a board of financiers which shall mark for
disapproval properties that are unwisely administered.
2. Appoint a standing committee, consisting of one
director from each prominent railroad system in a
given territory, which shall promptly inquire into and
locate the responsibility for any rate war that may occur.
3. Concentrate the rate- making authority on all com­
petitive traffic in the hands of one man upon each sys­
tem or railroad, and provide for it3 exclusive exercise
by such officer.
4. Form comprehensive associations in each welldefined group fur the proper consideration of ques­
tions of common interest, the several members to be
adequately represented in the deliberations.
5. Provide for the prompt arbitration of all disagree­
ments, as they arise, between any two or more parties
to a traffic association.
The la-t three of these propositions do not call for
any special comment, since the features suggested are

[VOL. LX1.

quite generally embodied in the traffic associations so
common all over the country, and whose usefulness is
so generally recognized. The first two propositions
are rather novel. As to the second o f these, it may
be questioned whether a standing committee com ­
posed of one director from each road would fiad it
any easier to locate and fix rate disturbances than the
existing freight and passenger committees, made up of
representatives of the different roads. Their duties
and functions would be somewhat different, and they
would have the advantage to be derived from being
charged with only that single piece of work. But
would they not in other respects be beset with the
same conditions and difficulties that are now en cou n t­
ered?
As regards the suggestion to have a board of finan­
ciers “ mark for disapproval” companies whose man­
agements encourage rate wars, the proposition wears an
attractive look.
Mr. Midgley’ s ile a is to have the
board of financiers consist of a syndicate of bankers
representing investors in corporate properties. Such
an organization would be in position to say to each
company: “ We will commend your securities so long as
your property is managed conservatively; but if it
should appear that your officers are acting recklessly or
are willful disturbers, we will advise the public to let
your stocks and bonds alone.” A statement of that
kind, Mr. Midgley well says, from men of authority in
financial circles would speedily subdue the most bellig­
erent and presumably compel the directors of the com ­
pany concerned to give their immediate attention to the
troubles, with the probable result that the disturbances
would cease.
The power whose aid Mr. Midgley would here invoke
has been silently exercised a good many times in the
past at critical periods, and always effectively. In recent
years the financial interest has become increasingly pow­
erful wish our railroads, and there can be no doubt that
entirely apart from Mr. Midgley’ s suggestions the influ­
ence of that interest will continue to be exerted to
prevent rate wars and to bring them to a speedy ter­
mination should they occur. As a matter of fact,
however, investors are not so much in need o f protec­
tion and safeguards against actual rate wars as against
rate cutting. Wars have become comparatively infre­
quent of late years and those that have occurred have
been of short duration. The change may be said to be
due largely to the power of the banking interests. As
soon as the difficulty reaches that stage, these inter­
ests step in and compel a halt. Moreover, even w ith­
out the intervention of the bankers the railroad presi­
dents themselves feel obliged to take measures to stop
the conflict, fearing the consequences upon their prop­
erties of a violent warfare. We have a recent illus­
tration in the case of the troubles last October among
the Western roads. Hardly had the conflict developed
into an actual and violent war before the executive
officials came together and stopped the whole thing.
Rtte cutting, however, is a more insidious form of
evil. It goes on silently and steadily, (while to out­
ward appearances the roads may seem to be at peace),
a nd no way has yet been disc >vered for dealing effect­
ively with it.
The question then is, could the b inking interest be
brought into play as against this form of trouble, and
is it desirable that it should be ? l a t h e event con ­
templated it wou'd be necessary for that interest to
take a hand in the thousand and one petty disputes
that are com ing up all the time as regards both passen-

Ia the case of the Western roads, the Alton keeps up
its 8 per cent dividends and the preferred stocks of the
leading companies are of course getting the same rates
as before, but on the other hand the common stocks of
such roads as the St. Paul, the Chicago & NorthWestern, the K ick Island and the Burlington & Quincy
all show reductions. It should be said in explanation
of our method of compiling the figures that we count
the dividends in the years in which they are paid. The
larger dividend recently declared on the Chicago &
North Western therefore does not show in the 1895 re­

securities stamped “ assumed” or “ aisassment paid"—rlie securities
themselves having previously been listed—are uotlueiuded lu this table.

Tne falling off in the amount of listings since the
high figures of 1890, as shown by the table above, is
naturally accounted for by the financial and business
depression which culminated with the silver panic of
1893. The result of these hard times has been to
make our own investors unusually cautious and to pro­
duce extreme wariness of American securities on the
part of foreign capital. Under such conditions it
could not be expected that the listings of stoeks and
bonds representing new enterprises would be heavy.
The same conditions have served to delay the ^ o rg a n ­
izations which have long been in process, and hence

THE CHRONICLE.

much larger part of the year’s total is represented by
the securities of industrial compaaie3 than was form ­
erly the case. Consequently the decline in the amount
of railroad securities listed is proportionately greater
than the decline in the totals, even after omitting the
Cr rvernmant bonds.
It is but natural that this decline
should be reflected by the reports of new railroad con­
struction throughout the country.
We have just
received the “ Railroad Gazette’ s” estimate of new track
laid this year, and it shows a total of only
1,428 miles, whereas in 1894 the total was 1,760
mil-s. These figures show a very decided falling off
since 1887, when the new trackage added to oar rail­
roads was 12,933 miles. In 1888 there were 7,066
miles a id ed ; in each of the years 1889 and 1890
about 54 thousand miles were reported; in 1891 and
1892 ooly about
thsusind miles were reported, and
for 1893 the new construction had fallen as low as
2,828 miles.
In the following table all the important listings of
railroad bonds for the year 1895 are given, with a brief
statement of the purpose of each issue :

It will be noticed that but few items in the foregoing
list represent properties which have undergone reor­
ganization. Had the recovery of confidence and a re­
turn to business activity been speedily accomplished
after the panic of 1893, when so many of our railroads
weut into the hands of receivers, the amount of refund­
ing issues listed this year would have undoubtedly been
heavy. But the continued depression has made re­
habilitations difficult and but few have been accom ­
plished io time for the securities to appear this year on
tbe Stock Exchange list. The roads which have under­
gone reorganization and had their new securities listed
are the Hew England, Western New Y ork & Penn­
sylvania, Minneapolis & Sc, Louis, Ann Arbor, South
Carolina & Georgia, Rio Grande Southern, Detroit &
Mackinac and Lehigh & New York.

British Embassy and to remain there several days ? Day
after day, almost hourly, emissaries from the Palace visited
him and for a long time he obstinately refused to leave. A t
last, however, on receiving written assurances from the Sul­
tan himself that his life and all his rights would be respseted
he has returned home. The incident has excited great inter­
est all over Europe and lias added much to the bewilderment
o f the public. Fresh reports are circulating that the massa­
cre of the Armenians continues, that disturbances are spread­
ing all through Asiatic Turkey, and now it is announced
that a conflict has broken out between the Turkish troops

THE CHRONICLE.

and the Christians in Crete. People fear, therefore, that the
Turkish Empire will go to pieces while the Powers are con­
sidering what they ought to d o ; and such being the case
every one is afraid to engage in new enterprise.
Meanwhile money continues to accumulate in London in
unheard of amounts. The Bank of England holds now
almost 44 ‘4 millions sterling in coin and bullion ; its reserve
is nearly 36 millions sterling, and its total deposits are nearly
50 millions sterling. Naturallp, therefore, rates are exceed­
ingly low, and are likely to go lower at the beginng of the
new year.
The price of silver has declined to about 30d. an ounce ;
yet the India Council is selling its drafts wonderfully well.
On Wednesday it got Is. l% d . per rupee.
The fortnightly settlement on the Stock Exchange here
began on Thursday morning and will not end until Monday
evening— a very unusual arrangement, and one that causes
much inconvenience to both brokers and dealers. The settle­
ment in mines began on Thursday, and it was found, as had
been expected, that the bull account open had been further
reduced, and that there was a considerable bear account in
some stocks. The rates o f carrying over were, therefore,
generally easy. Three or four leading stocks, indeed, were
scarce, and rates seldom exceeded 8 per cent, though in one
or two cases they went to 10 and 15 per cent. Shortly after
the opening there was a general decline in prices, mainly
owing to the closing of the accounts of a large French and a
large Austrian operator. It is believed also that some of the
banking establishments in Paris and Vienna which took over
securities from operators in difficulties some weeks ago sold
a portion of their holdings. A t this centre little disposition
exists to buy ; and as soon as it was found that Continental
selling on a considerable scale was beginning once more,
prices everywhere were put down.
The market here is perfectly sound. There are no difficul­
ties o f any kind to be arranged, and were it not for the em­
barrassments on the Continent prices would remain steady if
they did not advance. But every time that selling from the
Continent begins a nervous feeling spreads here. The politi­
cal news added to the general anxiety, and especially the
weakness in Paris was increased by the resignation of the
Spanish Ministry, by the defeat o f the Italians in Africa and
by the report tliat an insurrection had broken out in Crete.
The holdings o f both Spanish and Italian securities in Paris
are on an immense scale, and it is difficult to see how Spain,
at all events, can meet all her engagements without help of
some kind. The cost of the operations in Cuba is very great
and it seems impossible to form a really strong Government.
The prospect of further financial difficulties in Spain natu­
rally alarms the Paris Bourse, which has suffered so heavily
during the past couple of months. The Italian finances have
been in a bad way likewise for years past, and if Italy is now
to be involved in a costly struggle in Africa those finances
must become still more embarrassed. Lastly, the reported
movement of troops by Russia towards the Turkish Asiatic
frontier and towards the Far East is adding to the general
uneasiness.
In the American department business is quite at a stand­
still. The belief here is now general that nothing will be
done by Congress to restore order to the currency, and there­
fore it Is feared that gold shipments will continue and that
another loan will become necessary. Moreover, it is under­
stood tliat the reorganization plan of the Philadelphia &
Rending Railroad Company is to be published here early
next week, and that the assessment upon the income bonds
and the shares will amount to 20 per cent of the nominal value.
The news has made a very bad impression.
Holders of both
incomes and shares complain that the time for asking them
to pay a heavy assessment is most inopportune, and that
they had a right to expect more favorable treatment. And
the shareholders in particular feel aggrieved liecause it is said
tliat while called upon to pay $10 they will get no equiv­

But without some assistance from the National Government
there seems little chance that the provincial governments
will settle with their creditors, and therefore the prospects
for provincial bondholders is exceedingly bad.
The hopes of an early settlement of the shipbuilding dis­
pute still continue, and trade is steadily improving, as the
Board of Trade returns noticed last week am ply prove. The
most signal improvement still is in the woollen trade. The
series of auctions have ended this week, and the closing sales
were among the best of all. Prices.for the superior qualities
o f wools were rather over the quotations at the close of the
September series. The worser qualities were in less demand,
and up to the end there was good buying for the United
States and the Continent, as well as on home account.

been firm on a limited supply of commercial bills and a fair

large legal tenders to exchange for gold at the Sub-Treasury.
Gold exports for the week amount to $3,700,000, o f which'
$2,000,000 will be shipped to-morrow.
To-day’s actual rates of exchange were as follows: Banker’s
sixty days’ sterling, 4 87%@4 88 ; demand, 4 89l4"@4 89J^ ;
cables, 4 89%@4 9014- Posted rates of leading bankers are:

The railway bond market has recovered somewhat from
the depression which was noted last week. Prices have gen­
erally advanced from the lowest points reached during the
recent financial disturbance, but the progress upward is
naturally slow. The most noteworthy gains have been made
by the bonds which scored the heaviest declines under the
liquidating movement, among which are Ohes. & Ohio gen,
4%s, Mo. Kan. & Texas 2ds, Southern Ry. 5s and Wis. Cent,
lsts, which have advanced from 2}4 to 6 points.
The most active issues include the Atchisons, Ches. &
Ohio, Mo. Kan. & Texas, Or. S. L. 6s, O. S. L. & U, N. con.
rects., Reading. Southern Ry., Tex. & Pac., Union Pac.,
Wabash and Wis. Central bonds.
R ailroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The panic which
last week caused a large proportion of the active railway list
to sell at the lowest prices of the year had spent its force when
the week closed. The opening on Monday was in most cases
from 1 to 5 points higher than Saturday’s closing prices. The
recovery was rapid and general on Monday and Tuesday, but
was checked in some degree on Thursday by sales to realize
profits on the part o f some who had been purchasers on Fri­
day and Saturday. So that while the tone of the market
continued strong there were some reactions from the highest
figures o f the day.
The market to-day has been weak and closes unsettled un­
der liberal selling for foreign account, a decline of 6 points
in Baltimore & Ohio stock on reports of the financial condi­
tion of the company and a sharp decline in Western Union.
The following table shows the highest and lowest prices o f
last week and tire closing prices to-day o f some of the most
active and prominent shares.

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—Business
in Wall Street is gradually getting back to normal conditions
anti a more hopeful feeling prevails in financial circles. The
action taken by the Clearing-House Association on Monday,
providing for the issuance of Clearing-House loan certificates
was a strong factor in producing the change in sentiment
which took place early in the week. The measure was en­
tirely a precautionary one, looking to the possibilities of the
future rather than to the needs of the present, and no certif­
icates have been applied for. This had some effect on the
London market, and with other influences helped to stop the
rush to sell American securities, which was the chief feature
of last week.
It is generally understood that another issue of bonds is
being arranged for by the Government officials, and this lias
stimulated public confidence that the gold reserve is to be
maintained. The foreign exchange market has been much
ess disturbed, and gold exports are smaller than last week's
business gave promise of. The money market has been firm,
with lenders disposed to hold rates well up in anticipation of
the bond issue, which will naturally absorb a considerable
amount of hitherto idle funds.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 3 to 50 per
cent. To-day’s rates on call were 4 to 9 per cent. Prime
commercial paper is nominally 6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed a decrease in bullion of £944,214, and the percentage
” " serve to liabilities \tas 58’83, against 60’09 last week; the A tch ison ___
discount rate remains unchanged at 2 per cent, The Bank of C. B. &
I ranee shows a decrease of 1,175,000 francs in gold and an
increase of 450,000 francs in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
ot Uec. -1 showed a decrease in the reserve held of $2,743,700 D. &H'. C ...
over the re,lui^ed reserve of $17,088,800, against
$18,391,32o the previous week.

Georgia Southern & Florida Railw ay.

(Report fo r the year ending June SO, 1895. J
President ‘William Checkley Shaw says in p a rt:
General Results—The company was incorporated on May
22, 1895, but the management deem it of interest to submit
the figures taken from the receiver’s books showing the gross
and net earnings for each of the two years ended June 30,,
1895 and 1894
The gain of §47,710 in net earnings was the result of an in­
crease in gross earnings of §12,506 and decrease in every item,
of expenses of §35,303. During- the years 1894 and 1895 -the
receiver spent extraordinary sums in improving the road-bed,
filling trestles, repairing bridges and culverts and in rebuild­
ing the equipment. To this fact is due the noticeable reduc­
tion in expenses in the quarter ending Sept. 30, 1895, the net
earniBgs for that quarter being §83,632, against §42,4 39 in
1894, while the gross earnings remained practically the same.
Equipment—The equipment on June 30, 1895, comprised 29locomotives, 17 passenger cars, 961 freight cars, 14 road ser­
vice cars, % of an officer’s car (the remaining one-third be­
longing to the Macon & Atlantic RR.)
Macon & Birmingham RR .—The company is operating the
Macon & Birmingham RR. upon the same terms for division
of earnings and expenses as were in effect when the twoproperties were operated by the same receiver.
New Bonds—Of the first mortgage 50 year 5 per cent gold
bonds for §4,000.000, there are outstanding §3,584,000, leaving
a balance of §416,000, which are only to be issued in settle­
ment of claims existing at the time of the reorganization ;
the extinguishment of car trust notes [aggregating §109,396
Sept. 30, 1895,] as they mature, and permanent improvements
and additions to the mortgaged property. The company has
no floating debt.
Physical Condition—The general physical condition of the
property is good, and with a harmonious management, aided
by efficient and faithful employes, the company’s affairs
should prosper in the future.
Traffic—Ol the total traffic for the year about 4 5 per cent
was from lumber and 10 per cent naval stores. Tne revenue
Street Railway Net Earning's.—The following table gives per ton per mile was 1 46 cents and per passenger 2'5 cents.—

Cape Fear A Yadkin Valley Ry.—Southern Ry.—Seaboard
Air lffne —Bondholders' Meeting.—A meeting of the holders of
certificates represei! ting Cape Fear & Yad. Val. bonds deposited
under tbe agreement appointing tire Baltimore Committee
(Wrn.H Blackford, Chairman,) was held in Baltimore on Mon­
day, to consider the plan ol reorganization dated Oct. 81,
1895. This plan aims to harmonize the interests of all the
bonds, A, B and C, and to preserve the integrity of the sys­
tem as distinguished from the plan of the New York Com­
mittee (0. Adolphe Low, Chairman), which is primarily in the
interestof the A bonds. At ihe meeting the New York Com­
mittee voted a majority of the “ A ” certificates against the
plan, which was accordingly declared not adopted, the agree­
ment requiring the assent of a majority of each class of cer­
tificates to render the plan operative. The vote in detail fo r
the Baltimore planwa-: A’s 894; B’s 497, C’s 649. The vote
against the plan was: A's 595, B's 80, C's 15.
Upon the announcement of the result Mr. John K. Cowen,
counsel for the Baliimire Committee, requested all those as­
senting to tbe Baltimore plan, and who had not already
signed the agreement, to do so at once, as the Baltimore
Committee proposed to push its plan in court, regardless of
the non-acquiescence of “ A” interests. An advertisement
stating fully the position of the Baltimore C immittee will be
found in another column or to-day’s Chronicle.
The Two Plans Compared.—The plan of the New York
committee provides for foreclosure sale of the division co v ­
ered by the A bonds, and a lease thereof for 100 years to the
Southern Railway Company at a rental sufficient to pay 4
per cent interest on $1,500,000 of new 100-year gold bonds, as
also all taxes and corporate expenses—the Southern Com­
pany to own tbe entire common stock of tbe new company, and
to pay as additional consideration $225,000 of its own pre­
ferred stock. For the A division at foreclosure sale the New
York committee will, if necessary, bid at least the sum of
$1,050,000. The Neiv York plan further provides that—
“ In case the Southern Railway Company should become
tbs.
oer of the seventy-five miles or thereabouts of said Cape
Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad upm which the “ B ” bonds
of the latter company are a first lien, it is agreed that if the
S .nthern Railway Company so elect the said seventy-five
miles of said railway may be conveyed to said new railroad
corporation at the same time witli the said “ A” division, and
in such case $450,000 additional of said first mortgage bonds
Bhall be created and issued to the Southern Railway Company
as the consideration therefor, making the total amount of
Brat mortgage bonds to be issued by said new corporation in
that event $1,930,000, par value thereof, all of such bonds to
be equally secured by a first mortgage covering all the prop­
erty of said new railroad company, including both the prop­
erty purchased by the committee at said foreclosure sale and
the “ B ” division of said Cape Fear& Yadkin Valley Railroad
transferred to such new corporation by the Southern Railway
Company.”
In like manner if the division covered by the “ C ” bonds is
conveyed to the new company $400,000 of the new bonds may
be issued thereon, the total bonds in that case to be $2,350,000,
all equally secured on tbe entire property, and all to have
interest payable as rental under the lease to the Southern jM»
Railway Company.
Until and including January 10, 1896, the New York Com­
mittee offers to purch ise the B and C bonds with all unpaid
coupons attached at tbe price of 50 cents on the dollar of the

American Spirits Manufacturing—Distilling & Cattle
Feetltng.— D escrip tion o f Sew Bonds.—The American Spirits
Manufacturing Company, su cessir to the old Distilling <fc Cat
tie Feeding Co., has fib d a n u iu a r e to secure the $2,000,000 of
bonds authorized by the reorganization plan. The Manhat­
tan Trust Company of New York is named as trustee. Tue
bonds are 6 percents, $i,000each, and are payable twenty years
from Sept. 1, 1895. I'ue mortgage provide i that the mortgag­
ors shall tile with the trustee a statement each year, showing
its receipts and expenditures and net eirnings. This state­
ment is to be sworn to by cne P evident and Treasurer of the
company, and 5 per cent of the net earnings are to b? paid
to the trustee, who is to devote the amounts when in excess
of 820,000 to th redemption of outstanding bonds, the bonds
being subject to call for this purpose. The document covers
the foliowing-named plants, which are owned: Shu'eldt, Star
& Crescent, Central, St. Paul, Riverside, Hamburg, Northern,
Manhattan, Monarch, jGreat Western, Woolner, Peoria, W il­
low Springs, Consolidated, Maddui-Hobart, Wabash and Latonia. Of the *2,000,000 bonds, $1,400,000 are to be given to
the stockholders of the old comp my for the assessment of $4
a share. The other 5000,000 of bonds will be placed in the
Treasury as a reserve force.
Prospects.—President S, M. Rice makes to the New York
Times the following rose-colored statement:
The receiver tin. left In hi. bands upwards of f 1,000,000 of cash and
cash
wb eii are shortly to ho laraedover to die new company.
To*- reorif tnUation Is about oompleted. and the reorganization romoittine u prep 'ring to tana® the now securities. The new mortgage of
#-'.>.00,00 i, whl-ti n « recorded last week, will he the first charge on
the property. Th« real estate in Chicago alone is worth more than
that *mn, nntl tin; mortgage cover* the entire properties of the new
company.

• t he misinoss of the new com pany is now on a arm basis, and its
earning rapacity Is befog fully developed. There is absolute hartnonv in the trite, and all distilling and distributing interests are
working together. The distilling httsiuers has never been in so natlsfaetory si condition since the early days of the Western E-cport AssocUduo.ln Het i. Ail distillers, equally with ourselves, are making
.] ,,rents, owing to thi' very tow price of corn, the company Is
makin - * mudi larger profit than I oxpeoted, and there can he no rea­
sonable doubt th it the fall dividend will be earned for the preferred
stock besides a handsome surplus for the common.
- We have hist purchased, on highly favorable terms, the Woolner
DUUOrr lands, the most valuable iu Peoria, us I deemed it advisable
that tbe com pany should own this fee absolutely.” V. 61, p. 792,

EPITOME.

F r id a y N ight , Decem ber 2 7 ,1 8 9 5 .

The feeling of excitement regarding the controversy be­
tween the United States and Great Britain has moderated,
anti in consequence of that change a calmer tone prevails in
financial circles. General business, however, has remained
exceedingly quiet in view of the expected issue of bonds to
replenish the gold reserve of the Treasury and the proposed
revision of the tariff, restoring or increasing duties on many
leading articles, merchants preferring to avoid all unneces­
sary negotiations while those important measures were unde­
termined. The mid-week Christmas holiday served as an
additional quieting influence upon nearly all lines of whole­
sale trade, and speculative operations in staple merchandise
have also generally narrowed down to a liquidation of mature
ing engagements. Variable weather conditions were again
reported from the wheat-growing section, the latest indicat­
ing a sharp drop in temperature without accompanying snow­
fall of general character. The observance of protracted holidavs in Europe has interfered somewhat with export trading.
For lard on the spot the demand has been slow, but prices
have held steady, closing at 5-50c. for prime Western, 5-10c.
for prime City and 6c. for refined for the Continent. In the
local market for lard futures speculation has continued at a
standstill but nominal prices have advanced a trifle in re­
sponse to slightly stronger advices from the West, where
there has been some buying by shorts to cover contracts,
closing dull.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market
has again been upon a moderate scale. The celebration of
the Christmas holiday here and closing o f Liverpool from
Tuesday until next .Monday interfered with regular course of
trade, and continued uncertainty regarding Government
financial measures induces much caution among operators
generally. Following up previous inclination to liquidate
holders of long engagements were again free sellers on Satur­
day and broke values 24#26 points, but the liberal offering
soon eliminated the weak supply and recovery of tone re­
duced net* loss to 14 points. Monday’s dealings were
lighter, the tone stronger, and after several small
fluctuations the close was at 5@7 points advance.
Tuesday’s market was a small one and confined prin­
cipally to settling up small local deals,
with ir­
regular prices for the day, finally resulting in a net loss o f 3
points. The Exchange was closed on Wednesday for Christ*
mas holiday. Yesterday trading was light and the feeling
unsettled, but an absence o f buying orders noticeable and
prices gradually worked down 8(3)10 points, closing easy, To­
day the market opened about 9 points off under a full issue
o f notices o f delivery on January contracts, but the supply
becoming* absorbed, prices reacted and closed steadier. Cot­
ton on the spot is quiet at HJ-jV. for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 996,900
bales. For immediate delivery the total s ales foot up this week
4,202 bales, including 1,040 for export, 812 fo consumption,
- — for speculation and 2,800 on contract. The following are
the official quotations f >r each day o f the past w e e k December 21 to Dec amber 27.
Kates on and off middling, m established Nov. 23, l Si) i,
and revised Dec. 11. 1395, by the Revision Committee at which
grades other than middling may be delivered on contract:

coosiJeraiion iu plantiug operations fo r the com ing year, and that the
acreage of cotton be not increased over that of last year.
R esolved, That we approve aud indorse the American Cotton G row ­
ers’ Association for bringing about the reduction iu the acreage of the
crop now being m arketed, and we respectfully urge the Hon. H ector
D. Lane, the President, and his coadjutors, the presidents o f the various
cotton States of said association, to continue in the good w o k and to
take up the matter at the, earliest practicable m om ent and urge it again
upon the attention of the cotton producers of the South.
Resolved, That the various o o 'to n exchauges throughout the South
be, and are hereby, requested to co-op era 'e with this Exchange in this
matter, and that the Southern newspapers are als >requested to p ub­
lish these resolu tion s.

E g y p t i a n C o t t o n C r o p .— Tae following report on the
cotton crop in E<ypt was issued hy the Alexandria General
Produce Association under date of November 30:
The temperature during N ovem ber was generally favorable to the
cotton trees. Th inks to this circum stance, the second picking finished
under excellen t conditions and the third matured very well. This
last is now almost all harvested, and h is produced m ore than the third
pickin g o f last year. We have therefore to take into account a small
increase, w hich is due to the p rolongation o f favorable weather. We
in consequence n ow estim ate that the ultim ate result of the crop will
he about 5,250,000 cantars.

Friday , December 27, 1895.
For wheat flour there has been a very quiet and uninterest­
ing market. As is usual during the holiday season neither
buvers ft:
.wed a disposition to enter into extensive
neaotiaiions, but prices have ruled about steady. City mills
have been quiet, but steadily held. Rye flour has had a lim­
ped sale at unchanged prices. Buckwheat has continued in
light request, and prices have made a slight further decline.
Com meat has been quiet and without change. To-day the
market for wheat flour was quiet but steady.
Marly in the week there was some spirit to the speculative
dealings iu the market for wheat futures and prices advanced
slightly on buying by “ shorts” to cover con tracts, stimulated
by an improved feeling in fioaocial circles; but subsequently
realizing s ties by a few “ longs caused all of the improve­
ment to be lost. In the spot market shippers h ive continued
moderately large buyers, their purchases for the week
amounting to about 7iil,000 bushels The sales yesterday in­
clude I No. 2 red winter at 3i. over May f. o. b. all tat : No. 1
Northern at 1}£@1 9-18c. over May f o. b. afloat and
o v e r May f. o. o. from store for forward loading. To-ilay the
market was quiet but the close was fractionally higher on
some buying oy “ shorts” to cover contracts, stimulated by
le-w favorable weather conditions at the West and a decreased
crop movement. In the spot, market shippers were buying,
carry*ug cotton frona United States parts, &C.7
at full values. The sales included No, 2 red winter at 3c.

DRY GOODS TRADE.

N e w Y o r k , F r i d a y . P. M., December 27, 189ri.
Business in dry goods circles lias been restricted within
narrow limits d u r m g the past week. Both the political and
financial aimosphere is s o m e w h a t clearer, but oih-r influen­
ces in the shape of the holiday, bad w e a her a nd the close
approach of the end of the year have been at w o r k to curtail
the d e m a n d in all directions, whilst the w e a k cotton market
has been an additional drawback in cotton goo Is and tariff
uncertainties in the woolens and other departments. The
tone of the matket shows dulness in all directions, w hic h is
hardly likely to be relieved anywhere before the si cor d week
or so in the new year. There have been no changes in prices
of a quotable character, but the tendency in staple lines ls
still clearly in favor of huyers. and if ihe latter were so dis­
posed they could probably place orders on better terms than
generally prevailing basis. There are no indications of stocks
accumulating as yet to any extent, but there are that agents
rapidly approach the end of orders on h and in a n u m b e r of
instance-. Spring cotton fabrics are fairly steady, so m u c h
business having already been secured in most specialties that
agents are not affected bv prevailing quietude. The libbing
business has been of cleaning u o character and quiet at
brunches

the renewal of tariff legislation has introduced a disquieting

Been $9,148,104 in 1895 against $11,210,441 iu 1894.
There has been some demand for brown goods for exoort,
which sellers have refuse! to meet, as the grvies required are
well sold up and there is little disposition to make price con ­
cessions, such as would meet the views of buyers. O i home
trade account business has been distinctly slow, with the
tendency in favor of buyers, althou<h th ‘ msrket for sheetiogs, drills, ducks and osnaburgs can hardly be quoted lower
than a week ago The market for coarse-c llored cottons
such as denims, plaids, ticks, etc., his disclosed no new fea­
ture, business be ng limited at irregular prices. Ia all
bleached goods the demand comes forward very slowly, and
buyers are still looking for price revisions. In oth°r direc­
tions an absolutely featureless market has prevailed in staple
cottons. In fancy cotton fibrics of all kinds the demand for
spring has been on a reduced scale at previius prices. Dark
work and staples inactive. Print cloths have been offered
all week at 3c. for extras, with no buyers, and the quotation
is quite nominal at the close.
