tendency now. Still, there is very little business being
done on time or for paper at less than 6 per cent.
Bankers' balances loaned at 10 per cent and at 4 per
cent, averaging for the week about 5^ per cent.
Renewals were from 5 to 6 per cent, and banks and trust

For time money there was a fair inquiry but at lower
rates than lenders
were willing to accept ;
the

and trust companies. Rates for all periods were at 6
per cent for good Stock Exchange collateral, but on all
dividend properties business could be done at 5^ per
cent for thirty to sixty days.

NEW YORK BANKS AND THE TREASURY

As apparently we have been misunderstood, or hare
failed to make our meaning manifest, we wish to add
a few words to our remarks of last week with reference
to the opinion which prevails in some circles that the Government has as a resource for replenishing the drain
which gold exports are likely to make on the Treasury
gold reserve, a sale of bonds to the New York banks.
The position we took was that such a plan was not
feasible, and if it was feasible had nothing to recommend it, for it would not relieve the situation in the

As regards
the failure of roads in other section?, and particularly
the grain-carrying roads, to yield larger returns to their
stockholders, the reasons in that case are also by this
time perfectly plain, as we have so frequently set them
out.
The increase in traffic did not fail to appear, and
gross earnings have shown substantial growth, but unpermitting of competition with other roads for Georgia fortunately there was no corresponding gain in net retravel.
Another innovation was the introduction to sults, because (1) the increase in traffic was chiefly in
the New York Exchange of two loans of the "Merriam the lower classes of freight those paying the poorest
roads," which heretofore have always been peculiarly rates; (2) because tariff schedules were not always faithBoston concerns. These loans are Chicago & West fully observed; (3) bscause the roads were spending

basis.
In looking back upon the year just passed we find that it
has been singularly free from great or extraordinary disasters,
and the aggregate failures are much below those of 1891.
In many directions business has been profitable, although at
the Stock Exchange there have been periods of dtdness,
even when prices were very fairly niJiintained, and in many
weeks of the year the great bulk of transactions has been
limited to a few active speculative stocks, including very frequentlv some of those clas.sed as industrials. It may be remarked liere that the latter stocks have very little foreign support and one great advantage of having more information
about them would be to open the foreign markets for their
distribution abroad.
As to the future, it is hardly worth while to predict. The
World's Fair will stimulate business on many of the railroads
during 1893, and probably lead to a great deal of traveling far
beyond tlie necessary trip to Chicago. But looking to the
wider field of business interests in the whole country the prevailing sentiment may probably be expressed somewhat as we
have given it above. There is perfect confidence in the soundness and prosperity of mercantile and financial affairs throughout the United States, if only we are placed and kept in siich
position that one may look forward and have no apprehension
that our currency will be debased, or that in any way our level
for bu8ines.s transactions shall be different from that of the
leadifig coimnercial nations of the world.
rhe open market rates for caU loans during the week on
«tock and bond collaterals have ranged from 4 to 1 per cent,
the average being 5)^ per cent. To-day rates on call were 5 to
10 per cent. Commercial paper is quoted at 6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed
a decrease in bullion of £171,000, and the percentage of re
serve to liabilities was 44-97, against 4Tril last week the discount rate remains unchanged at 3 per cent. The Bank of
France shows an increase of 4,225.000 francs in gold and
a decrease of 5,200.000 in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their atateinent of Dec. 24 showed a decrease in the reserve held of
;$475,000 and a surplus over the required reserve of $6,176,575,
against $5,445,225 the previous week

State and Railroad Bonds.— Sales of Stat« bonds this week

at 1061^; $8,000 Tenn. settlt. 6s at 103(ccl03i.^; $7,000 settlt. Ss
at 76-77; $1,000 N. C. cons. 4s at 99i^; $2,000 l^a. cons. 4s at 98.
Railroad bonds have shown a larger business, owing to renewed activity in several of the leading bonds, among which
the Reading pref. incomes and the Northern Pacific consol. 5s
were the most conspicuous. The Reading bonds advanced in
consequence of the undei-standing that definite arrangements
had been made for paying the February interest, and also from
the Philadelphia Finance Company
handling all the coal busin&ss of the company. The
Northern Pacific 5s were sold down sharply to 66,'^ on Wednesday, apparently by one or more holders who were liquidating,
and without any new points regarding the company's finances
the bonds close to-day at 683^. Atchison 4s sell freely about
S3%, which lueans 81^^ ex-interest. In other bonds the buying is well distributed, and as a rule prices have not advanced
as they usually do in the latter part of December. To-day

there is said to be nothing new in the company's affairs. The

Cotton Oil, which has advanced on considerable buying, possibly Ijased on higher prices for the i>roduct and the expectation of larger profits.

companies have brought suits to restrain the lease and the
directors of the C. J. & M. are now considering whether to
carry the matter to a higher court or to abandon the lease and
issue at once the bonds under the plan of reorganization without the C. H. & D. guarantee. The surplus of $800,000 bonds
would permit of needed extensions.
Colorado Coai; & Iron Vevelopnient Company.— A full
statement of this company has been prepared for the information of the Stock Exchange, and is given in full on a subsequent page in to-day's issue of the Chronicle. In October,
when the consolidation was made of the Colorado Fuel Company and the Colorado Coal & Iron Company, the Colorado
Coal & Iron Development Company took over the agricultural and town lots and other property of the C. C. & I.
Company. Its capital stock, then increased to $6,000,000, has
this week been listed on the Exchange.
Connecticut River.— At the stockholders' meeting held December 83 a vote was taken on ratifying the lease to the New
York New Haven & Hartford road. The whole vote was

Colorado, with an authorized capital of §3,500,000. On Octcber 33, 1892, the Articles of Incorporation were amended,
thereby fixing the authorised capital at §6,000,000.
Of the original capital of §3,500,000, $1,030,000, being 10,300
shares, were issued in June, 1889, as follows: 9 shares sold at
par, and 10,291 shares, par value §1,039,100, together with an
issue of $1,000,000 of First Mortgage Five per Cent Twentyyear Gold Bonds, to the Colorado Coal & Iron Company in
1889. in payment for lands purchased from the said company
at that time. Of tho said §1,000,000 of bonds, §700,000 are

for the purpose of a guarantee, the consolidated company will
place in the hands of trustees §-3,101,000 of their general mortgage 5 per cent bonds. As the Colorado Coal & Iron Company 6 per cent bonds have a provision for a sinking fund,
under which §398,000 of bonds are now held in hands of
trustee, and as no releases for real estate sold can bs had
without cash payment to the trustee of an amount equal to
the appraised value for his release, it is provided in the agreement for consolidation that the Colorado Coal & Iron Development Company shall be entitled to the benefits and
security of the consolidated company bonds deposited to offset

Friday, P. M., December 30, 1892.
Toward the close of the week there was a fair number of
buyers in the market looking around for supplies of cotton
goods for immediate use, but outside of what they have
secured from the usual year end clearing up sales by jobbers,
they have fared badly. Business at first hands has in fact
been very quiet so far as new orders have gone. Uusually
agents are disposed at this time of the year to make concessions to close out various stocks, but nothing of that character has been noticeable this week for the simple reason that
there are no stocks in the market of any character to sell even
at regular prices. The tone continues very firm, and agents
will take orders for future delivery at topmost prices only.
The holidays have interfered somewhat with shipping operations, but still the outward movement has reached large proportions from both this market and the mills, in liquidation of
recorded orders. The jobbing trade has been more active,
owing to special prices being made on broken stocks. Cotton
fabrics and woolen and worsted dress goods have sold in this
way very freely, jobbers readily clearing out all that they
cared to seU at the reduced prices. Reports of the condition
of the dry goods trade throughout the country are encouraging and the prospects for tlie coming season are favorably
regarded. Collections also continue good, and the year closes
with local houses having an unusually small number of overdue accounts recorded in their hooka.
Domestic Woolens.— The holiday week has had less influence in restricting the demand in tliis department than usual
a considerable business being recorded in duplicate orders for
spring- weight trouserings and suitings and for heavy lines for
next fall wear. Buyers who have not yet had previous orders
for the former filled are pressing persistently for delivery, and
there is a marked reduction in the n umljer of cancellations
which make their appearance about this time. Both piecedyed and fancies are in good request in woolens and worsteds,

made
to the State Auditor of
creasing tendency. Another thing to be borne in mind is tliat
the increaae of aaaeaament valuation is much leaa than uaoal
this year.
The large increaae of salaries which has been
xpoken of is lapreaented by the salaries of aohool teacben
which have been raised to an amount five timea aa great aa all
others."
A report has been sent thia week to Mayor Boody by the
Commissioners of City Works, giving a synopaia of the work
of that department for the past year. It abows that the city
now has 426^ milea of sewers, eleven milea having been constructed in the year, with three milea more under contract.
There have been seven and a-half milea of granite block pavement
and a-quarter miles of Belgian
and three-quarter miles of asphalt and lix and
laid in the year, eight

in our expenditurea of near $1,000,000. I think that the people
will not rvgrrt the allowaocea which have been made tor the
several departments of the government, aooh aa strvet cleaning, school sccominodationsai
"fflciency of the police
force.
This places tliL> variun
"nis in a very aOoieot
and aatisfaoiorv condition. It is not; iikely that any great Inoreaie will be aemande<l for tbeae departments for a year or
two to oome, ao that the tax rate hereefter will show a de-
two-thirds miles of new cobble stone. There are still 289 milea
of old cobble stone pavement, most of poor quality and in a
bad condition. The report says of the water exteiision
and a-half miles have been completed from Rockville
Center to Massapeqiia Pond, with the exception of the large
storage reservoir at Milburo, which will be completed early
next year, with a capacity of 420,000,000 gallons. By a temporary connection tfae water was drawn from the extension
in the dry season to the extent of 35,000,000 gallons a day,
and without this the city would have had only a two-thirds
supply. The need of new pumping engints for reserve supply
is set forth in the report.
The new high-service water tower
at Mount Prospect is nearly completed, but cannot be used
until money is provided for connecting it with the pumping
station and putting in the engine. The expenditures have
amounted to $6,391,699. The receipts from water rates

Kansas show that on
the Hrst day of July 1892 the total indebtedneis of all the
cities, townsliips, villages and school districts in
that Commonwealth w.ns|87,817,755 14. On the same date the
bonded debt of the State was $801,000, making the total State
counties,
and municipsl indebtedness fB8.618,755 14. After deducting
from this amount $742,014 85, which is the total of all the sinking funds held by the various muDictpalities against their indebtedfcess, the net municipal and State debt is shown to be
Now the total asEessed valuation of all property in Kansas, as reported by the State Board of Equalization
for the year 1892, was $342,682,845 52 and the net debt is 11 -ll
per cent of this valuation. The foregoing percentage of net
debt to valuation would be slightly reduced if from the indebt$87,876,740 29.
we deducted the amount of State, county and municipal
bonds held by the permanent funds of the State. The total of
thesecurities thus held on June 30 1892 was $6,666,972 52. The
total municipal debt as reported above for the present year
includes county bonds and warrants, $15,498,742 34 township
bonds and warrants, $8,083,759 49 city bonds and warrants,
$9,984,166 53, and school district bonds and orders, $4,241,
edness
;
;
096 78.
On turning to a similar report made two years ago, we find
that the total municipal debt was then $37,119,977 33, showing
an increase of $697,777 81 since that date. The State debt remains the same. According to the report for 1890 the total
valuation of all property was then $848,4.59,943 and the
decrease during the past two years is $5,787,098. This decrease
is largely accounted for by the lowering of the assessed valuation of railroad property in the State by the Board of Railroad
Asaersora. The total indettedners of all the counties in 1890
was $15,281,604 87; of the townships, $8,080,180 22 of the
cities, $7,900,764 26, and of the school districts, $5,907,477 98.
The amount of the sinking funds held against this indebtedness on July 1 1890 was $638,316 95, leaving the net municipal indebtedness on that data $36.491,660 38. If to this be
added the State debt of $801,000, the result will show the net
total State and municipal debt for 1800 as .$37,292,660 88,
compared with $37,876,740 29 in 1892.

Brooklyn's Tax Kate and City Works Commissioners'
Report. Brooklyn's tax rate has l>een fixed for this year at

The rate last year

of Estimate, comments on the advance in the rate as follows
"The tax rate this year is $2 77 on the $100 of valuation.

Bond Proponal* and
Negotiations.—We have
re-
ceived through the week the following notices of bon<5s
recently negotiated and bonds offered and to be offered ft r
sale.
AndeH, N. T.— (State a.nd City Sin'PLEMEjrr, page 44).—
29 the citizens of Andes vctsd at a special town
meeting to refund the outstanding indebtedness of the town
on a basis of 60 per cent of the principal of the bonds and 60
per cent of the simple mterest accrued to September 1 1892.
The resolution, which was carried by a vote of 199 to 56, reads
On November
as follows:
Reaolved, That the Supervisor of the town of Andes be and
he hereby is authorizt d and empowered to cr mpromiae and
settle with such of the owners and holders of the bonds and
interest coupons purport iag to have been is»ued by the town
of Andes, September 1 1871, in aid of the Delhi
Middletown Railroad, as will accept of same, at the rate
and upon the basis of mt to exceed sixty ppr cent of
the principal of l>onds and not to exceed sixty per cent of the
simple interest accrued and unpaid thereon up to and including Sept. 1 1892. Such payment to l)e in full of princioal and
interest due or to become due mwn said bonds, and in all instances where any sum is paid in settlement the bonds and interest coupons thereto attached or thereto belonging must all
be surrendered and canceled on i>ayment of the amount agreed
upon. And that said Supervisor, in order to raise money to
pay said price of taid Itonds and interest coupons ao settled and
8urren(ler(><l, l)e authorized and empowered to issue and diepose of new, or what is termed refunding, bonds, in the manner
and upon the terms and conditions provided in the laws upon
that subject, to wit: Section 1 of Chapter 380, Laws of 1999,
and Section 7 of the Municipal Law.
Such new bonds to lie issued only so fast as the old bonds
and interest coupons shall be surrendered, and only for a sufficient amount to pay the sum agreed upon for 'the said old
bonds and coupons so surrendered. But no part of tiie interest coupons shall be paid or fettled for except the bond to
which they are attached or to which they belong is settled for
and surrendered at same time.
And xaid Supervisor is further directed to refuse payment of
any part of said bonds or coupons upon any other terms or
&
:
conditions than herein mentioned, and to resist collection
and defend bU actions brought by holders thereof who refuse
to accept such terms of «ettlement.
The outstanding bonds amount to $93,000, and they have
ieen in litigation since 18S2. No interest has been paid pince
1881. The total assessed valuation of the town for the year
1893 is §805,000.
Atlanta, Ga.— (State and City Supplement, page 161.)—
This city has recently sold at par 4 per cent redemption bonds
to the amount of .§40,000 to the American Banking and Trust
Company and the Capital City Bank. The loan was issued for
the purpose of retiring the city's 6 per cent bonds due January
1, 1893.
Brooklyn, N. T.— (State and City Supplement, page 44.)
to have been sold on Friday were withdrawn by the city early in the week, a question
having been raised as to the city's legal right to incur additional indebtedness equal to the amount of the bonds offered.
On being questioned concerning the matter Mayor Boody
—The Brooklyn bonds which were
made
the following statement:
" When we last offered bonds or tax certificates the point
was raised by one of the bidders that under the revision of
the laws by an act of 1893 the language of the charter was not
followed, so that the question arose whether
we
are allowed
to deduct our water bonds and tax certificates from the total
indebtedness in considering the amount that we may incur on
the 10 per cent limit of valuation.
have always contended
that we had a right to deduct the water bonds and tax certificates. The bonds referred to in the advertisement withdrawn today were offered because the act authorizing the expenditure of
that money provided that the bonds should be sold during the
present year. The money is not needed, however, because
only a small part of the work has been done. So long as the
question to which I have refeiTcd has been raised, we all feel
that it would be better to have a judicial decision on it before
selling any of the bonds.
The Legislature will, no doubt, extend the lime when the city may sell the bonds for the improvements contemplated. The city debt at the present time
has not quite reached the limitation, without making any of
those deductions to which I have referred. If these deductions
were made which we have contended we have a right to

1892 is $3,820,133, including real estate $1,727",360, personal
property $669,100, and railroad property $423,773. The assessment is made at about one-fourth of actual value.
