In both achievements the Secretary's experience and authority as a practical banking expert counted, for -„ December THE CHRONICLE. 28, 1901.] 1335 meeting the heavy expenses in the judgment of the board of directors it was of the Spanish war, and the later expedients for re- deemed essential that steps should be taken to mainducing superfluous revenue, were the work of Con- tain and protect the position of the Union Pacific gressional finance committees rather than of the Ad- system and to safeguard its future against combina- The soheme much.

Two problems of Treasury finance Mr. Gage lays down pretty much unchanged from what they were when he took them up. The means of avoiding disturbance of the money market when the surplus revenues grow large are as crude and antiquated to-day as they were when the Treasury's operations upset the markets in 1888 and 1882. The question of an elastic system of bank circulation is no more settled to-day than it was when Mr. Carlisle, eight years ago, introduced the topic in his annual report. These are perhaps the most immediate problems which will confront Mr. Gage's successor. The public will watch with peculiar interest as Governor Shaw's ideas and policies in these two matters unfold themselves. He will bring a fresh mind to the consideration of the problems; for his previous experience, we believe, has not been in the lines of large banking operations, with which Mr. Gage had been familiar. There may possibly be some disadvantages in such lack of special training, but there are very considerable compensations. and the acquisition of the stocks re- ing of business ; ferred to, [averred, has greatly strengthened the it is and has enabled it to undertake the development of new avenues and sources of position of the system, traffic. The exact amount of Northern Pacific stock held is given as $41,085,000 out of a total of $75,000,000 of preferred stock and $37,023,000 out of a total of $80,000,000 of common stock outstanding.

It does not, however, include any of the various issues of bonds of the Southern Pacific or any of the bonds of the Northern Pacific Railroad. When this last fact is taken into consideration, additional importance is given to the total referred to of nearly 81,000,000,000. Of the $987,971,791 of stock and bonds outstanding the Union Pacific itself, together with the Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Pacific Eailroad & Navigation companies, holds $332,631,259, leaving $655,340,532 afloat in the hands of the public. Any one caring to make an analysis or a study of this interesting and striking statement will find in full it printed on page 1363 of the current issue of this paper. As far as the income exhibit of the Union Pacific Company is concerned, this makes a very satisfactory showing. The accounts include the operations of the Union Pacific Railroad proper and also those of the Oregon Short Line Railroad Company and the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company, practically the whole of the stock of the latter two being owned by the Union Pacific. There was a further addition to [Vol. LXXIII. ments for that purpose is $5,178,175, if no account be taken of the Northern Pacific income, and $5,959,255 if that income be included. The company is very efficiently managed, as will appear when we say that on the Union Pacific proper the train load in the late year (including company freight) wa3 354 tons; on the Oregon Short Line it was 390 tons and on the Oregon & Navigation Company 376 tons. Interesting statements appear in the report showing how the company's facilities have been Increased in the time since the reorganization. Thus on February 1 1898 the Union Pacific proper had 10,634 freight cars with a capacity of 440,320,000 lbs. On June 30 1901 there were 15,716 cars with a capacity of 871,740,000 lbs. The capacity, it will be seen, has almost exactly doubled. On the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company there is very little change, but on the Oregon Short Line the comparison is much the same as for the Union Pacific itself. Since March 16 1897 the number of cars has increased from 4,109 to 5,164, and the capacity from 184,156,000 lbs. to 289,472,000 lbs. Brief reference is madejto the income account of the Southern Pacific Company, in which the Union Railroad Pacific is now the dominant interest. That com- pany's full report has not yet been issued, but presume like the it will Union The Southern be shortly. we Pacific, enjoying great prosperity. It appears that the gross transportation receipts of the company in the late year were over seventy-seven million dollars $77,244,898. After allowing for all charges and an expenditure of no less than $6,870,949 for betterments and additions to Pacific itself, is — the gross receipts for the twelve months of $4,390,483, raising the amount to $43,538,181. At this figure properties and equipment, there remained a clear surcomparison is with the similar total of $34,394,729 plus on the operations of the twelve months in the only two years ago. The net receipts from]operation sum of $3,456,560. were $18,951,036, which compares with $17,720,151 in the previous year and with $15,326,542 in 1898-99.

Once more the belief is gaining ground, not only here at home, but upon the Continent, that the war in South Africa is at last very near an end. In consequence there is quiet buying on Continental as well as on British account of gold shares, and there has been also a recovery in consols. Indeed, at the beginning of the week there was a tendency to put up prices generally. Since then, however, two influences have come into operation which have again made busi- ness exceedingly stagnant. The first of these is the dispute between Chili and ArgenOct. 81. Nov. 30. tina.

It may be pointed out, for example, that even in Chili matters are regarded as ex- tremely grave, that the Chilian exchange upon London fell on Wednesday to very nearly 14d., which is almost 4d. under the par of exchange, or not far short of 22 per cent. It is estimated that British investments in the two States amount in round figures to about 400 millions; and if war were to break out, probably the payment of the interest on the respective debts would be suspended and money which ought to go to the bondholders would be used in mere fighting. The great banks and financial houses here interested in the mat ter have addressed themselves to the Secretory of State for Foreign Affairs, asking him to use his good offices to maintain peace; and it is hoped that the great influence of the United States will be used in the same direction. The second cause of depression and apprehension in the market is the continued fall in copper and copper securiThe price of copper in London so short a time ago as ties. September 12 was very nearly £68. It fell yesterday to about £52, and there has been a corresponding fall in all copper securities. For instance, Rio Tinto shares in the early part of the year were over £60. Yesterday they fell to about £40, a fall of £20 per share, or nearly 83 per cent. Rio Tinto shares are neld in very large numbers in France, and the large fall has greatly affected the French Bourse. It will be in the recollection of our readers that French investors have suffered exceedingly heavy losses during the present year through the breakdown of industrial enterprise at home, in Belgium, and still more in Russia. The fall in copper, therefore, affects them more eeiiously than it would under other circumstances; and it may also be pointed out that the decision of the United States to build an Isthmian Canal practically destroys all hope of French investors ever getting anything back of all the money they have spent on the Pan- ama Naturally, therefore, there Canal. and great stagnation is much uneasiness in Paris. 1339 Bombay. £10,000.

(Report for the year ending June SO, 1901 President W. Gr. Elliott says in part: General Results.—The operation of the company during the past flsoal year has demonstrated the wisdom of the consolidation with the several railroads with whioh It had previously such olose relations and such immediate oonneotions. 8tock.— An lnorease was made in the preferred stock to the extent of 4 597 shares, making the Issue of the preferred stock outstanding $18,850,000, and out of the proceeds of this increase the sum of $445,000 was applied towards the purchase of the one-sixth interest in the THE CHRONICLE. 1354 Richmond- Washington Line referred to In the report of the First VicePresident. Bonds. — Hy the terms of the recent consolidation this company be oame the owner of $127,000 mortgage bonds of the Atlantic Coast Line BR. of South Carolina, and It delivered that amount to the Atlantlo Coast Line Co. on aooount of the $"i00.000 of said lion ih bor- rowed from It (for deposit as seourltv of one half the rent*l under the Georgia KR. lease), and paid for the remaining $373,000 bonds by the sale to It of $100,000 Vadhl Division bonds at 102 and interest and by the payment In cash of $281,767. Taxation.— The controversy wltli the authorities of the State of North Carolina, referred to In our last annual report, with referenoe i to the assessment of the property in that State for taxation, has been ad|usted by compromise and the suits dismissed, so that the company Is not now Involved In litigation of any serious nature, and It Is hoped that the large amount which we are required to pay each year for taxes will not be Increased.

Cincinnati New Orleans & Texas Pacific By. (Lessee of the Cincinnati southern Railway.) (Report for the year ending June 30, 1901. Compared with the preceding year, the company's freight earnings decreased 4-38 per cent; the number of tons carried one mile decreased 6 23 per cent, and the freight train mileage decreased 104,308 miles, or 8 14 per oent. The average receipts p°r freight train mile were $3 21 in 1900-01 against $3 08 in 1899-00 and $2 39 in 1896-97. The average number of tons of custom freight per train mile in 1901 was 431, an increase of 2'07 per cent. The passenger earnings increased $76,818, or 8-56 per cent. Regarding the cost of improvements, etc., President Samuel Spencer says: Improvements—The building of the new line around Tunnel No. 27, a distance of 8, ->33 feet, has made progress. It is expected that this improvement will be completed during the coming year. The cost of new line has been largely increased beyond the original estimate by wet weather and heavy landslides The wooden trestle of the northern approach of the Ohio River bridge in Cincinnati north of Eighth Street was replaced by masonry and permanent embankment. The wooden trestle south of Eighth Street, Is to be replaoed by steel trestle at an early date. Special attention is now being given to the replacement of all wooden bridges and trestles with steel structures or permanent embankment. The inorease of $82,059 in maintenance of way and structures was due chiefly to the oost of improvements required to be made to the property under the terms of the lease, such as renewals oi bridges and oulverts with permanent structures, new fencing, block signals and arohing.tunnels. A considerable portion of the increase, however, was due to the higher prices for labor and material as compared with the year previous. There was a decrease of $17,936 in the expense of maintenance of equipment due to a large reduction in repairs and renewals of freight cars. It has been neoessary to reduce the expense of maintenance of equipment to the lowest safe and practicable point In view of the large expenditures neoessary upon the leased property, in order to comply with the terms of the lease. this The new contracts with ^the city of Cincinnati, copies of which are attached to the report, make provision for future improvements through the issue of $2,500,000 of city bonds ($500,000 issuable yearly), and through au increase in the & Texas Pacific capital stock of the Cincinnati New Orleans Ry. Co. from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. Further facts shown by the report are as follows: Nine hundred and seventy-four tons of 75-lb. steel rail were laid during the year, replacing worn 75-lb. rail; 34,382 onbio yards of ballast has been plaoed in the traok. The total length of bridges June 30, 1901,1s 32,813 lineal feet, made up as follows: iron or steel span bridges, 12,727 lineal feet; iron and steel viaducts. 16,747 feet; wooden trestles, 2,820 feet and open drains, 519 feet. The total length of tunnels is 26,208 lineal feet, equal to 4-96 miles, of ( wiiich 5,196 feet is in natural rook, not requiring arohing; 19,326 lineal feet is lined with masonry, and 1,687 feet with timber, all of the timber being in tunnel No. 27, which tunnel it is expeoted will '.be abandoned after the completion of the line around it.

With these lines in the hands of the Union Paciflo Interests, both the NorthBrn Paciflo and Great Northern would be largely shut out of the States of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois aud Wisconsin. We then, with the Northern Pacitii, made proposals to the directors of the Burlington to buy their entire property. When this transaction was about being olosed, the people who repre ented the Union Paciflo Co. asked to be allowed to share with us in the purchase of that oompany.

After we had closed the purchase of the Burlington, the Union Paolflo people bought over $60,000,000 of the stook of the Northern Paoinc in the markets of Europe and the United States. I was in New York at the time, and after Messrs. Morgan & Co. were aware of the action of the Union Paciflo people, It was found that together we held about $26,000,000 of Northern Paciflo oommon stock, and Inasmuch as the oommon stock had the privilege of paying off the pre ferred stoo* at paron the flrst dav of January of any year until 1917, Messrs Morgan & Co. then bought in London and New York about $16,000,000 of the oommon stook of the Northern Paciflo. At the same time the Union Paolflo interests, having already >o large an Investment, bid the stock |up until there was the largest stook oorner Bver known; the common stook in three or four days went upto$l,o00 per share. I explained to my friends how that, with oontrol of the Northern Paciflo. the Union Paciflo would oontrol the entire Northwest and of the West from Mexloo to the Canadian line, exoept for the Sreat Northern. The result was that Messrs. Morgan & Co. and ourselves owned $42,000,000 out of the $90,000,000 of Northern Paciflo common, with the privilege of paying off the $75,000,000 of Northern Paoiflo preferred, roe Union Paciflo people owned $37,000,000 of the oommon and about $42,000,000 of the preferred, which was a clear majority of all the stook of the Northern Pacific, and olalmed the exolusive ooDtrol of the Northern Pacific y., and through that ownership oontrol of one-half of the Burlington.

Toledo & Ohio Central fly.— Guaranteed Bonds.— A few months ago the Kanawha & Hocking Coal & Coke Co. was organized as stated at the time (V. 73, p. 239) and acquired by purchase and lease extensive coal properties and coal mines along the lines of the T. & O. C. and its allied com pany, the Kanawha & Michigan Ry. The coal properties thus brought under one control were mortgaged by the Coal & Coke Company to the Morton Trust Co. as trustee to secure an issue of 5 per cent $1,000 gold bonds, dated July 1, 1901, and due July 1, 1951; but subject to call at 110 and interest on and after July 1, 1906, for the sinking fund which began this year and which receives 2% cents per ton for every ton of 2,240 pounds of coal produced and marketed "from the property now owned or hereafter acquired." The bonds are also subject to call at 110 and interest on or after July 1, 1911, in whole or in part (when drawn by lot) irrespective of the sinking fund. The issue of bonds under the mortgage is limited absolutely to $3,500,000, of which $2,750,000 were issued at once and $750,000 were reserved, under strict provisions, for future betterments, improvements and acquisitions.

The trade situation is complicated by the promise of an unusually heavy crop, both beet and cane, in the year 1901-2 and by the decline in the price of beet sugar on the London market. The world's visible supply of sugar is estimated by one authority at 3,100,000 tons, against 2,270,000 tons at the same time last year. V. 73, p. 1315. - — American Tobacco Co.

An official circular now at hand regarding the proposed creation of $2,000, COO preferred stock discloses a misunderstanding as to the proposed scrip dividend. The amount of this is to be 6 per cent, and it will be applicable in part payment for $1,000,000 new preferred, which is to be offered for subscription at par to stock- — holders of record in amounts equal to 25 per cent of their present holdings, the total stock now being $4,000,000, all common. The other $1,000,000 preferred will remain for the present in the treasury. The circular says in part: The directors recommend the Increase of the capital stonk by the authorization of $2,000,000 of preferred stock, bearing cumulative preferred dividends at the rate of 7 per cent per annum, payable quarterly, the principal of said stock being preferred in liquidation or dlstrioution to the extent of its par value. It Is the panose of the directors, npon the passage, of this amendment, to offer to the existing oommon stockholders the right to subscribe, in proporiion to their general holdings. to $1,000,000 of this preferred 7 per cent stock at par. Simultaneously with this right the directors propose to declare an extra dividend in sorip to holders of common stook at the rate of $6 upon each and every share, such sorip to be available In part payment of the subscription to preferred stock. It Is Intended to give the stockholders the right to subscribe for one share of preferred stook for every four shares of present stook held by them, paying for said preferred stook at the rate of $24 in this scrip upon every share, and $76 in cash. The issuance of this preferred stock will greatly strengthen the position of the present stook by removing the danger in times of money stringency of an unduly large amount of bills payable. The remaining $1,000,000 (of preferred) will remain for the present unissued, and will very probably afford an opportunity to offer another rteht of value to the stockholders wltbinthe near future. The advantages of this method are several: (1) To the extent of the scrip dividend ($240,000) it capitalizes the surplus earnings ($593,000) of the company; (2) it will provlae some $760,000 as a cash addition to its resources, enabling It to materially reduce its current liabilities; (3) it will secure the ereotlou of the central plant, which will lesult in large economies, and also provide for the additional credits necessary for the large increase in the sales of the company, which, during the first three months of this fiscal year, exceeded those of the corresponding three mouths of the last fiscal year by over 20 per cent.

Of these bonds $151,000 will be used as collateral for a like amount of notes maturing in instalments from July 1, 1902, to Jan. 1, 1908; $90,0C0 have been, or will be, sold to liquidate liabilities of the old company and for legal and other expenses of the reorganization, making the total number of bonds presently to be issued not exceeding $250,000, with a likelihood, it is said, of no further issue.-<-v\ 73, p. 844, 339. , New York.—Purchase.— announced that Posner Brothers, who conduct the principal department store in Baltimore, have Associated Merchants' Co. of It is now officially contracted to sell the business to the Associated Merchants' which John Claflin is President. —V. 73, p. 1266.

During the past summer and fall the output has been showing a monthly Increase and a corresponding inorease in profits, but for the whole of this period, lnoludlng the lean months of the early summer, the earnings have been only at the rate of about 5 per oent on the preferred stook. As It was expedient to make a number of improvements the directors thought it better not to pay a dividend.

Taxes increased $18,668 36, or 1*61 per cent.

The increase in Maintenance of Equipment is accounted for largely by repairs to locomotives and freight cars, and partly to an increased charge fcr engines and freight cars worn out and retired. The principal items which contributed to increased cost of transportation were: Fuel, $173,000; Enginemen and Roundhousemen, $56,000 Train Service $117,000, and Station Service. $124,000. The increased cost of fuel was due to an advance in price, while the other increases were incident to the larger business handled. The net receipts from operation, after deducting taxes, show an increase of $1,230,884 84, a sum equal to 69 per cent over the preceding year. : MILEAGE. The average mileage operated by the three companies during the year was 5.543-44 miles, an increase of 111-60, equal to 205 per cent.

As shown in the last annual report, there were outstanding June 30, 1900, First Mortgage Four Per Cent Bonds amounting to $99,500,000. Since that date the Company lias received $500,000 in bonds from the Trustee, as provided by the mortgage, making the total amount issued to date, $100,000,000. At the date of last report the Company held $3,065,000 of these bonds, to which was added the $500,000 rereived from the Trustee, making the total amount owned $3,565,000. Of this amount $'19,500 in bonds has been used in the purchase of Oregon Short Line Railroad Company Income A Five Per Cent Bonds at the rate of bond for bond, and $3,000,OOJ has been sold. The balance, $445,500, remains in the treasury. Consolidated Mortgage Five Per Cent Bonds of the Oregon Short Line Railroad Company amounting to $2,033,000, heretofore held by that Company as a treasury asset, have been sold during the year. The proceeds of all securities sold have been applied toward the building of new lines, for betterments and new equipment, and for the acquisition of stocks of the Southern Pacific and Northern Pacitic companies as stated below. SECURITIES OF AUXILIARY COMPANIES. Instead of showing holdings of the securities of auxiliary companies as assets, and carrying corresponding amounts as liabilities in separately stated balance sh ets, it has been considered better to adopt the method, now more generally approved and followed, of presenting a condensed or consolidated balance sheet of the system and eliminating holdings of securities of companies embraced therein, showing as liabilities only such as are outstanding in the hands of the public. This will tend to simplify the statements of accounts of the system and obviate duplication of entries. To avoid any material cuitailment of statement, the current liabilities of the constituent companies are separately stated in the consolidated balance sheet, and their investments are separately scheduled in detailed Exhibit (page 1363).

In furtherance of this policy and for the purpose of developing and extending the business of the system, and opening new channels of interchange, the Directors deemed it necessary to acquire §75,000,000 par value of the Capital Stock of the Southern Pacific Company, and §78,108.000 par value of the stock of the Northern Pacific Railway Company. The geographical position of the Union Pacific System with regard to the s; ou thern Pacific and Northern Pacific Systems afforded many opportunities for important interchange of business; ami the acquisition of these stocks has greatly strengthened the position of the system and enabled it to undertake the development of new avenues and sources of traffic. Many radical improvements upon the Southern Pacific lines have been inaugurated and are being carried These improvements forward as rapidly as possible. embrace a comprehensive scheme of placing these lines in a position to render a better service at a reduced cost, and include the reduction of grades and curvatures, new alignment to secure economical operation, and the purchase of new and better equipment and motive power. The nature of these improvements corresponds with those already completed upon the Union Pacific System, which have shown such satisfactory results in service and net revenue. The extensive use of oil as a more economical fuel than coal also necessitates large expenditures, which should result in substantial economies. The title to the Northern Pacific stock has been vested in the Oregon Short Line Company, and the latter Company has provided for the purchase by the issue of purchasemoney certificates of indebtedness, which are held by the Union Pacific Company, as appears on page 1363. The railway lines operated by the Southern Pacific Company are situated in the States of Oregon, Nevada, California. Arizona, Texas and Louisiana, and now aggregate 8,874-37 miles. The operated mileage for the year ending June 30, 1901, averaged 8,654-97 miles. The water lines of the Southern Pacific Company and its proprietary companies consist of ocean lines on the Atlantic between New York and New Orleans, and between New Orleans and Havana; ocean lines on the Pacific between San Francisco, Developments in Yokohama, and Hong Kong, and between San Francisco, Panama, and intermediate ports on the coast of Mexico and Central America; a gulf line between Morgan City, Louisiana, and Brazos Santiago, Texas, and a line of nine steamers between tan Francisco and Sacramento. The operations of that Company, as stated in its annual report for that year, show the following results: . 25 12 00 00 12,730,371 37 Surplus for the year $3,013,903 54 Less amount expended for additions and betterments to existing lines 2,011,285 00 Balance, surplus $1,002,618 54 BETrERMENrS, IMPROVEMENTS AND NEW EQUIPMENT.

No new work of this character was begun during the The only line now being changed is that between Leroy and Bear River, a distance of 21 "61 miles, where work has been greatly delayed by difficulties encountered in the conyear. struction of the tunnel, but it is now expected that the line can be opened not later than November 1st This is one of the most important of the changes of line, effecting a saving in distance of nearly ten miles, a reduction of grades to the maximum of 43 feet per mile, and eliminating a section of road difficult and expensive to operate and maintain. The Ditectors expect to effect immediate and permanent economies in the cost of operation as a result of the im- provements and betterments, which now approach completion, and to secure a better service to the public at a reduced cost. No changes have been made in the lines of the Oregon Short Line Railroad. The St. Anthony Railroad, referred to in the last report, is now successfully operated from Idaho Falls to St, Authony, Idaho, as a part of the Montana Division. A new line has been built by the Oregon Short Line Railroad Company, known as the Wyoming Western Railroad, from Moyer Station, Wyoming, on the main line, to Glencoe and Cumberland, 19 02 miles, for the develop ment of the new coal mines of the Union Pacific Coal Company at Cumberland, in that State. There is also being built in the interest of the Oregon Short Line a branch, to be known as the Salmon River Railroad, running from Blackfoot, Idaho, to Mackay. Idaho, a distance of 85*5 miles. The properties of the White Knob Copper Company are situated at the terminus of the road, and a new smelter is now being built. The new line opens np a fertile valley suitable for farming and stcck raising, and will secure business from the towns of Bay Horse, Challis, Clayton ami Bonanza City, where there are located a number of lowgrade mines which have not been developed in recent years on account of the heavy expense in getting ores to the - GrosB Transportation receipts Operating expenses and taxes $77,244,898 18 50,879,013 82 Reoeipts over operating expenses and taxes, $26,365,884 36 Excess of receipts from other sources over miscellalaneous expenses 754,134 11 Income from sinking f anils pledged for redemption of bonds .. 416,055 48 Inoome from lands and securities not pledged for redemption of bonds 529,352 42 Proprietary Companies, Lessor Lines and Southern Pacific Company $28,065,428 37 Application of Inoome: Fixed charges.

The company has issued $350 000 5 per cent, 20-year bonds, with the usual pro visions for sinking fund and retiring bonds. It is the purpose of the company to improve the ice busin ss of Providence without, however, applying any of the usual methods of combinations or monopolies."

Wallace B. Flint, his brother, has also resigned as Treasurer and been succeeded by Alden S. Swan, and A. L. Kelley has been elected President, to succeed Charles Stewart Smith. Charles R. Flint says no ill feeling exists, but as he intends to form a crude rubber combination, it seems unadvisable to be identified with the management of a manufacturing company which would buy the crude company's products. This new company will probably be known as the International Crude Rubber Co. Later on, if present plansmaterialize.it is proposed to unite all the rubber interests under tbe title of the American Rubber Corporation, with capitalization expected by Mr. Flint to be $30,000000 common stock, $30,000,000 preferred stock and $15,000,000 debentures. -V. 73, p. 1318, 496.

Standard Oil Co.— Oil Irade.— The recent fall in the price of the company's shares is apparently attributable, to some extent, to the unsatisfactory condition of the Eastern oil trade. E special attention is called to the considerable decline of 20,000 b«rrels this month, as shown by the pipe line runs, in the prooil, from the handling of which the derives a large revenue. The lower prices for the crude product, it is claimed, do not warrant any extensive drilling of new wells. The oil purchasing agencies at Oil City, Pa., three times within the week ended Dae. 17 reduced by 5 cents a barrel the price paid for Pennsylvania crude oil, credit balance at Oil City being quoted now at $t 15 bid against $1 30 early in the month.

In adWednesday, Christmas Day, some of the leading commercial Exchanges observed Tuesday as a holiday, while dition to others suspended business on Thursday. Boliday dulness baa been quite generally noted, the demand for sopplir-H for im mediate delivery from manufacturers and dealers being small. The undertone of confidence in the general business situation, however, has continued quite pronounced. Prices have been well maintained, with the indications considered ino*t promising for the resumption of active business following the turn of the year. Raw and refined sugars have sold at low-record prices, the result of overproduction and quiet business but at the close there was a steadier feeling in the belief that the low prices ruling more than discount the excessive supplies. Lard on the spot has advanced, following the speculative market, but the volume of business transacted has been very moderate, both exporters and refiners being reported as light buyers. The close was firm at 10'40c. for prime Western and Refined lard has been held at 9'75@10o. for prime City. prices, but business has been quiet. higher Speculation in lard for future delivery has been fairly active. Buying by shorts to cover contracts on reports of large freight engagements for supplies to be shipped in January to Europe and light receipts of hogs have advanced prices.

Based on a stronger turn to prices for the grain, mills have advanced their limits on values for wheat flour, naming in 10 cents per barrel higher prices. The volume of business transacted, however, has been limited, as buyers are generally disposed to come into the market slowly at this season of the year. City mills have been firm but quiet. Rye flour has been dull and unchanged. Buckwheat flour has been firmer but quiet. Corn meal has been quiet but steady. Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been fairly active at advancing prices. The improvement in values has Milder been most pronounced in the Southwestern market. weather has been experienced; still the movement of the some instances crop has been only moderate. The advices from the Soutnwest have continued to note a heavy demand for wheat to be used for cattle- feeding purposes, and this demand, it is explained, has had much to do with the strength shown by the winter-wheat market. European markets have betn stronger, and prior to the holidays exporters were fair buyers of actual wheat. Offerings of Russian and Argentine wheat, it is understood, have been rather limited, and latest estimates of the, Argentine surplus for export.have been of smaller quantities. Statistical developments have been favorable to the market. The supply of wheat afloat for Europe showed a moderate decrease, and the world's visible supply for the week showed a slight decrease. Advices from the interior report that the condition of the growing winter-wheat crop THE CHKOJVJCLE. 1370 favorable, the recent freezing weather doing no serious damage.

Country off wrings and receipts have been limited, but shipments from primary markets have also been light, which has been taken as evidence of a lessened demand. The visible supply, which was expected to show a considerable loss, made a very slight decrease. Business in the BDot market has been quiet, exporters doing practically nothing.

The cotton goods market continues in excellent general condition and the impression prevails that a higher range of prices in a number of lines will be reached early in the new year, even without expansion of the buying movement. There has been a good business done in the woolen goods division, the holiday in this instance interfering but slightly with buyers. Woolen Goods.— There are few new lines of woolen or worsted suitings shown as yet for next fall, and those on the market are chiefly low-grade goods without important bearing on the price situation. Rs-orders for light weights for quick delivery are beiag placed at recent advances. The market for overcoatings has shown a good demand again coming forward.

Business has been confined mainly to limited quantities for immediate needs, which have been governed by the prevailing holiday influence. There have been no developments outside of the market of a nature to affect its course or tone, and it has ruled practi- Q -net conditions 1 The value of the New Fork exports for the year to date has been $11,046,063 in 1901, against $13,192,745 in 1900. Expected advances in bleached cottons have not been made, but sellers are declining forward business of any extent except at value only. The demand for immediate needs is limited. In heavy brown cottons home buying has been indifferent, but a considerable amount of bidding has been done by exporters, though as a rule at prices too low for practical results. Dicks continue firm throughout. Converters have again bought fine yarn and grey cottons with a fair amount of freedom at full prices. Wide sheetings rule firm with a quiet demand. Djnims continue scarce with an upward tendency and other coarse colored cottons are very Kid finished cambrics are quietly steady. Business in firm. prints of all kinds has been on a moderate scale only, but the tone of the market is firm. Staple ginghams are in a strong position, witn an occasional leading make advanced ^c. per yard. Fine ginghams are scarce, without quotable change in prices. Regular print cloths continue firm at 3s. and narrow odds on the basis of 3 1-163. for regulars. Wide odds are firm at previous prices, with a fair demand. Foreign Dry Goods.—There has been an indifferent market in imported goods this week. Sheer fabrics in dress goods have been in chief request at steady prices. Silks and ribbons continue firm with moderate sales. Linens are quiet and unchanged. Burlaps dull, but firmer for Calcutta goods. ©4 65 ©3 75 For other tables usually given here see pace 1311. cally featureless.

The dietrict consists of 36,000 acres of»land, of which 7,000 acres are actually under cultivation. The town of Caldwell, with a population of 1,200 or 1,300 and an assessed valuation of $500,000, is also in the district. Two irrigation systems— Phyllis and Caldwell— are to be acquired by purchase. An offer of par has been made for $80,000 of these bonds by W. C. Bradbury of Denver. In connection with the issuance of these bonds, Mr. Davis wiites us that while their legality has been corfirmed by the Third Judicial District Court, and while under the law such a decision is sufficient, the directors are determined to have the validity of the bonds established (as well as the legality of the organization and the constitutionality of the Act under which the bonds are to be issued) by the Supreme Court. To this end a friendly suit has been instituted to settle finally all legal questions involved. It is not expected that a decision of the Supreme Court can be obtained before Jan. 10, 1902, so all bids, of course, will be subject to the findings of that Court.
