revenue instead of resorting, as was unfortunately
done ten years before, to mere tinkering with the
revenue laws or to wholesale increase of expenditure.
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.

various issues of bonds of the Southern Pacific or

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.

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.

London, Saturday, December 14, 1901.
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.

also in Valparaiso and Buenos Ayres. 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-

Street Railway Net Earnings.— The following table gives
the returns of Street railway gross and net earnings received
this week. In reporting these net earnings for the street
railways, we adopt the same plan as that for the steam
roads that is, we print each week all the returns received
that week, but once a month (on the third or the fourth
Saturday), we bring together all the roads furnishing re
turns, and the latest statement of this kind will be found
in the Chronicle of December 21, 1901. The next will ajpear In the issue of January 18, 1902.

Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.
(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

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.

First Vice-President H. Walters says in substance:
Improvements —The year having been one of oontlnued prosperity,
the management has followed the policy of largely improving the
property and adding to tho equipment, so that when the next depression In business oomes economies can be praotloed which will make
It possible, it Is hoped, to continue paying dividends. All the Improvements enumerated in the report of the General Manager have
been charged into operating expenses during the past two years, the
amount charged into the closing fiscal year being 9~i:j ,8'S8, viz.: New
locomotives, $108,000; passenger oars, $120,000; freight cars, $240,
000; bridges and oulverts, $30,902; rails, in addition to monthly
charge. $80,000; buildings and fixtures. $7,147; side tracks, $91,859; branoh line, Parkton to MoNatts, $2,930; construction line "B"
$3 000.
Georgia BE. Equipment.— The Georgia BB. showed surplus earnings above the lease money of $50,791, one-half of which should come
to your company. The road has for some time been short of freight
equipment, and it was deoided by the lessees to purchase 300 freight
ears, and to use the surplus earnings, together with a small surplus
of the previous year as a payment in cash; the Louisville & Nashville
BB. Co. agreed to advanoe the balance of the money required in exchange for sixty notes of equal amounts bearing 5 per cent Interest,
one note to mature eaoh month.
Atlanta Belt Line.— The company has paid $205,268, being one-,
half of the cost of the Atlanta Belt Line Co., which connects the At
lanta & West Point BB. with the Georgia BB in Atlanta. This Belt
Line has been leased to the Atlanta & West Point RB. Co., at 4 per
cent interest upon Its cost. The other half Interest in the Belt Line
is owned bv the Louisville
Nashville BB. Co.
Bichmond- Washington Co.—The company has purchased a oneelxth interest in the Blohmond-Washington Co., formed for the purpose of operating the railroad connecting the south end of the Long
Bridge, at Washington. D. C, and Riohmond, Va.
Chesapeake Steamship Co.—The company has also aoquired a
one-third interest in the Chesapeake Steamship Co., operating steamship lines between Baltimore and Norfolk and Baltimore and York
River, in Va. (See 71, p. 493.)

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. Main traok 336 miles, all laid with 75-lb.

Aboit a year ago the Union Paoiflo Co. bought the Huntington and

effort to buy the oontrol of the Ohioago Burlington & Qulncy. 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. This proposal we refuse 1 for the reason t' at it
would defeat our object in buying the Burlington, and further it was
against he law of sever il of the States in whioh the longest mileage

CONTEST FOB CONTBOL OF NOBTHERN PACIFIC.
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. When it was known that these preferred shares
Dould and would be paid off and before the annual election, mutual negotiations resulted in Mr. Morgan giving them a representative in the

Railroad Construction in 1901.— Estimate.—The "Railroad Gazette" estimates that for the calendar year now ending the amount of mileage built by the railroads of the
United States (Canada also being included in 1901 with 658
miles built by 163 companies, but not included in 1930) was
4,518 miles, constructed by 342 companies, as a^aiost 4,804
estimated last year, built by 286 companies. Texas leads in
the amount of new track laid, with 537 miles; Oklahoma is
second, with 398, and West Virginia third, with 266. Iowa.
Miohigan aud Missouri also have built more than 200 miles
apiece. The Kansas City Mexico & Orient heads the list of
roads with 554 miles in the Southwest located, although it
is not all under contract yet.

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.

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.

successor of the American Woodworking Machine Co., foreclosed in October last. The following plants are included in
the reorganization:
Rowley and Hermanoe Co., Wllllamsport Machine Co. and Lehman
Maohine Co., all of Wllllamsport, Pa Levi Houston Co., Montgomery, Pa.; F. H. Clement Co., Rochester. N Y.; C. B. Rogers & Co.,
Norwioh, Conn.; Goodell & Waters, Philadelphia, Pa.; Milwaukee
Sander Co., Green Bay, Wis. and Hoyt Plant, Aurora. 111. Estimated
value of property, lnoluding patents, tools and machinery, about
$1,000,000; products, raw and in prooess and finished, about $250,000; accounts receivable, about $250,000; bills receivable, about
$100,000; cash, about $30,000; total, $1,630,000.
The company is arranging to mortgage its property, excepting the Lehman and the Goodell and Waters plants and
a small portion of the Rogers and Houston plants (which
will be dismantled, the machinery put into the other plants
and the property sold) to secure $350,000 of 10 year 6 per cent
gold bonds dated Jan. 1, 1902, free from all taxes, $35,000 of
which must be called every year at 103. 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.

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

The Gross Receipts for the year show an increase over the
preeious year of $4,390,483 68, equal to 11-21 per cent.
The Operating Expenses increased $3,14<\930 48, or 1555
per cent. Taxes increased $18,668 36, or 1*61 per cent. The
total increase in Operating Expenses applied to the several
classes of rail line expenses in the following proportions:
Maintenance of Way and Structures
$1,410,3=12 70
Maintenance of Equipment
46l|l50 68
Conducting Transportation
1,105,299 1?>
General Expenses
124,364 10
The increase in the cost of Maintenance of Way and
Structures resulted chiefly from the great amount of work
done, material used and higher prices paid for material.
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.
The total mileage owned June 30, 1901, was 5,579-83 miles,
an increase of 6261 miles. The increase is accounted for

date redeemable at the option of the Company, upon any

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).

connection with the constantly increasing traffic of the Northwest and of the States of the 1'acilie
Slope, and the vital importance of securing for the Union
Pacific System its due proportion of the tonnage and revenue
tributary to its lines, rendered it essential, in the judgment
of the Board of Directors, that steps should be taken to
maintain and protect the position of the system and to safeguard its future against combinations of other lines, which,
should they become hostile, might divert much business by
changes in existing channels of transportation.
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,

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

501 pages, the consideration for the transfer being reported
as about $4,500,000. See statement page 1355.—V. 73, p. 1211.

Pittsburg Coal Co. Acquisitions.—The company is
said to have secured options, if it has not already agreed
to purchase, the property of the C. Reiss Coal Co. of Sheboygan, Wis., the Pittsburg & Baltimore Coal Co., the Shoenberger Coal Co. and the Crescent Coal Co.— V. 73, p. 1268.
Providence ( K. I.) Ice Co. Business— Bonds.—The organization of this company w«s referred to last week. A letter
from President John E. Kauffman, Tremont Building, Bos
ton, in reply to our inquiry, says: "The total business
amounts to about 200,000 tons per year. 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." V. 73, p. 1316.

Rubber Goods Manufacturing Co.— Resignations— Crude
Rubber Company Combination. — Charles R. Flint has resigned as a director and as the chairman of the executive
committee. 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.
St. Clair Furnace Co.— Bonds Offered.— The Pittsburg
Trust Co. of Pittsburg and Farson, Leach
Co. of Chicago
and New York are offering, at prices to pay 4J^ per cent,
$625,000 of this company's $3,000,000 first mortgage 5 per
cent bonds guaranteed by Crucible Steel Co. of Amerioa and
described with guaranty in V. 73, p 447. A circular says:
All the properties of the Crucible 8teel Co. are free from mortgage
debt, with the exception of $183,000 bond and mortgage not due, this

&

mortgage on the St Clair Furnace Co
and $2,500,000 5 per cent mortgage bonds on the St. Clair Steel Co.
The total interest charges are less tnan $300,000; the net earnings
from operations for the year ended Aug. 1, 1901, were $3,490,438.
The last annual report of the Crucible Steel Co, was in V.
73, p. 841, and in connection therewith (on page 842) was

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. The company's
shares advanced quite sharply this week- V. 73, p. 1212.

The business week has been an unusually short one. 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

amount of speculative buying for investment acactive.

influence against values. Today there was a slightly
better market at the opening in response to firmer advices
from Liverpool than expected. Ths improvement, however,
was not maintained. Notices for the delivery of cotton on
January contracts were freely issued and resulted in considerable liquidation for the account of speculative holders.
The crop movement for the week was fairly full, being
larger than for the same week last year, and this, too, had a
weakening effect upon values. The close was steady with
prices 3j|8 points off for the day. Cotton on the spot has
been quiet and the close was easier at 8}£c for middling uplands.

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.

weather has been experienced; still the movement of the

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

Indian corn futures have been
steady, reflecting the strength of the whea-, market. Tne
advices received from interior points continue to note a falling off in the feeding demand, and this has had a tendency to
take the edge off the market, removing an important incentive to high prices, despite the small supplies. 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. Today there was a quiet
and easier market. The spot market continued quiet.

Oats for future delivery at the Western market have been
quiet, but there has been a fractional improvement in prices,
following the advance in wheat. Some reports have been
heard of a diminishing spot demand; still, as offerings have
been only moderate and shipments from primary points have
continued fairly full, the undertone of the market has held
steady. Locally the spot market has been qiiet but about
steady. To-day there has been an easier market under realizing sales.

Sellers are holding aloof to a great extent
during this quiet period, and are in a number of instances
turning down bids only slightly below their asking prices.
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. A number of lines have been sold up, and

Yobk, Friday, P. AL, Dec. 27, 1901.
have prevailed this week in all divisions
of the cotton-goods market. 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

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

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.

Flathead County, Mont.— Borids in Litigation.— The District Court has banded down a decision in the suit brought to
prevent the Board of County Commissioners from issuing the
$55,000 4% court-house bonds awarded on April 3 to the Conrad National Bank of Kalispell. This Court, we are advised,
has decided in favor of the County Commissioners, and the
case has been taken up to the State Supreme Court, where
a decision is expected in January, 1902. The validity of
these bonds, our informant continues, will no doubt be confirmed, and when finally determined the bid of the local
bank will probably be accepted.
Gates County, Wis.— Bonds Valid.— The Supreme Court,
according to local papers, has handed down a decision upholding this county's right to issue court-house bonds.

Offering.
Jan. 10, 1902, by Rees H. Davis, Secretary of the District,
for $167,555 6% bonds.
Securities are part of $207,555 bonds
authorized at an election held Oct. 14, 1901. They are in
denomination of $500. Interest will be payable January 1
and July 1 at the First National Bank of Caldwell or at the
Chase National Bank, New York City. Principal will mature as follows At the expiration ot eleven years, 5% of the
whole number of said bonds; at the expiration of twelve
years, 6?; at the expiration of thirteen years, 1%; at the expiration of fourteen years, 8%; at the expiration of fifteen
years, 9£; at the expiration of sixteen years, K%; at the expiration of seventeen years, ll£; at the expiration of eighteen
years, 13£; at the expiration of nineteen years, 15£; at the
expiration of twenty years, 1(1%. 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.
Pittsfltld, Mas?.— Temporary Loan.—The City Treasurer
has placed a loan of $2O,C00 for sewer purposes.
Portsmouth, Va. Loan Bill Passes Legislature. The
