condition o f the anthracite trade. No one needs to
be told that the Lackawanna is a strong and wellmanaged property, and that its stock is very small,
amounting only to $'26,200,000. Y et this company
failed in both 1895 and 1894 to earn the fall amount of
its dividends, the shortage in the earlier year having
been $196,656 and in the late year $479,339. In a word
the company earned on its stock only 5'17 par cent in
1895, this comparing with 6’ 24 per cent in 1894,
11-04 per cent in 1893, 9'98 per cent in 1892, 9"21 per
cent in 1891 and 10 per cent in 1890— proving that
1895 was decidedly the most unsatisfactory year the
company has had in recent periods. Notwithstanding
that the deficiency in the late year was larger than for
1894, the company carried somewhat more coal, the
tonnage transported having been 7,987,720 tons in 1895
and 7,822,476 tons in 1894; the general merchandise
traffic must have been very much heavier, for the com
pany's aggregate gross receipts from all sources
were over 1 } million dollars larger in 1895 than
in
1894,
standing
at
$44,201,909,
against
$43,058,862. The net earnings, however, were only
$6,760,900 in 1895, against $7,049,667 in 1894, The
coal mining operations are included in these totals,
and the figures show that because of the low price
received for the coal and the reduced figure at which
it h*d to be transported the net result to the company
was diminished in face of a greatly augmented amount
of business done. It is pleasing to think that under
the agreement now reached the prospects for the cur
rent year are very materially better.
Money on call, representing bankers' balances, was
easy at 3 @ 3 } per cent until after the middle of the
week, when there was a better demand and an advance
to 4@5 per cent. Yesterday there was a spurt to 6
per cent on the calling of some loans in connection
with the 1st of February payments, but the close was
at 4^ per cent.
The range for the week has been 3@ 6
per cent, the average being about 4 p ercen t. Btnks
and trust companies quote 6 per cent as the minimum.
In time loans the transactions are confined to tbo»c
made by special agreement between borrower and
lender, and tome money has been placed at 5$ to 6 per
cent for nicety days to four months on choice
lines of collateral, but nothing has been reported
for shorter periods, acd 6 per cent is the quoted
rate for all dates from ninety days to six months in
clusive. For commercial paper there has been a better
inquiry this week from the trust companies and from
some of the large banks. Brokers look for more busi
ness next week as there is a good assortment of accept
able names which is regarded as certain to attract the
attention of buyers. Kates are 6 per cent for sixty to
ninety-day endorsed bills receivable, 6 per cent for four
month’s commission house names, 6@ 7 per cent for
prime and 7@ 9 per cent for good four to six month’s
single names. Some of the banks report re-discounting
for Eastern banks and also for those in the interior of
this State.
The European financial situation has improved this
week, influenced by the absence o f political disturb
ance and by the growing ease in money, especially on
call. Consols appear to be in demand and American
securities have improved since the fortnightly settle
ment. It is expected that a Chinese loan for £8,000,000 will soon be placed in London and Berlin. The
Bank of England minimum rate of discount remains
unchanged at 2 per cent. The cable reports discoun's
of sixty to ninety day bank bills in London 15-16 o f 1
207
' per cent. A t Paris the open market rate is I f per
cent and at Berlin and Frankfort it is 2 } per cent.
According to our special cable from London the Bank
of England gained £617,898 bullion during the week
and held at the close of the week £48,314,279. Onr
correspondent further advises ns that the gain was due
to the receipt of £523,000 from the interior of Great
Britain, to the import of £122,000 (of which £89,000
were from Holland, £28,000 bought in the open mar
ket and £5,000 from France), and to the export o f
£27,000, of which £21,000 was sold in the open
market (United States coin) and £6,000 was for
Jamaica.
The foreign exchange market was weak until W ed
nesday afternoon, influenced by a limited demand for
remittance, and also by the comparatively liberal offer
ings of bills, some of which were bankers’ , which were
contracted for immediately after the preparations were
made by syndicates to take the new bonds. A few
offerings were commercial bills delivered od contracts
made late in the fall against expected shipments of
grain. The parties who contracted for the bankers’
bills did sw in anticipation of a large demand for gold
from Europe in connection with the $100,000,000
4 per cent issue. These bills were bought on short
options maturing after the middle of the month and
the
contracts
were made
at
a time when
it
was supposed,
according to
the
terms
of the Treasury circular, that full payment would have
to be made for the bonds by the end of March. It
was assumed that sufficient gold for this purpose could
not be accumulated without a resort to the European
markets, and that its importation as a com modity
would cause snch a demand for exchange as to enable
the purchasers under these options to sel^ their bills at
a satisfactory profit. The modification o f the Treasury
circular, extending the period for final payment for the
bonds until June, deranged the plans of these specu
lators in exchange, and when the tone of the market
b'gan to grow easy on Monday, under the influence o f
offerings o f bills against purchases of stocks by the ar
bitrage houses for European account, the holders of those
contract bills freely offered them on the market and as
at the moment the demand was light, a further de
cline in rates occurred, accelerated by the offering of
the maturing grain bills contracted for late last fall.
One fact which seems to support this explanation o f
the easier exchange is that afrer a decline of half a
cent for actual business in sixty day bills and of threequarters of a cent for sight bills and cable transfers, the
fall was checked and the market reacted, though
there was but a slight increase in the demand, indicat
ing that the volume of offerings was comparatively
small and jnst about what might be expected from
the above-named sources. The market opened on Mon
day with no change in nominal rates compared with
Friday of last week, except by Brown Bros., who re
duced long half a cent, bnt rates for actual business
declined one-qnarter of a cent duriog the day to
4 8 7 }@ 4 87} for long, 4 8 8 }@ 4 89 for short and

D uiingthe week the St. Paul brought $1,000,000 gold
consigned to W. H . Crossman & Bro. and $30,000 to
Scbulz & Ruckgaber; $17,990 came from South Pacific
ports and $117,000 from Cuba. The cable reports that
the Majestic which sailed on Thursday has on board
$2,500,000 from London. The premium on gold coin
is maintained by the bullion dealers at f @ f of 1 per
cent and they report a moderate amount of business
during the week from parties who, it is presumed,
intend to bid for the new Government bonds.
We have referred above to the favorable returns of
gross and net earnings for December made this week
by several leading companies. In addition to the
roads there enumerated, we have figures for some
others not quite so important. The Buffalo Rochester &
Pittsburg reports $7,743 increase in net, the Minne
apolis & St. Louis $6,990 increase, the Iowa
Central $10,510 increase, the Cleveland Canton

Tt e Allegheny Valley has net of only $48,894 against
$61,276, the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St.
Louis $299,400 against $329,024, the San Antonio &
Aransas Pass (on the shortage of the cotton crop in
Texas) only $62,148 against $118,510, and the Jackson
ville Tampa & Key West(on the failure of the orange crop
in Florida) a deficiency below expenses against net of
$47,209 in December 1894. The following compares

THE N O R T H E R N P A C I F I C R E C E I V E R S R I P
TAN GLE .
It is occasion for congratulation that the effort to
clear up the muddle into which Northern Pacific af
fairs were thrown by the conflict of jurisdiction be
tween the various Circuit Courts of the United States
concerning the receivership of the property, has been
successful. Since the Courts first' fell out regarding
the question, the situation has been growing steadily
worse.
A nd the most unfortunate feature of the
matter was that there really seemed no assured way
out of the tangle so long as the Circuit Judges failed
to agree among themselves. The proceedings which
have now eventuated favorably were novel in character
and the attorneys for the parties in interest who co n
ducted them had considerable misgivings as to whether
the outcome would be as desired.
As will be remembered, the trouble arose out of the re
fusal last September of Judges Hanford and Gilbert of
the Washington and Oregon districts to recognize the
court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, presided
over by Circuit Judge Jenkins, as the court of original or
primary jurisdiction. An action had been brought in the
Circuit Court at Washington by the Northern Pacific

Company, through Hr. Brayton Ives, its President, for
the removal of the old receivers —Messrs. Oakes, Payne
and Rouse— and it was sought to have the Washington
Court exercise jurisdiction over the motion, instead
of remitting it to the Wisconsin Court for dstermiaation. On Soptember 21 a decision was handed down
by Jadges H inford and Gilbert, affi'm ing the regular
ity and validity of the appointment of the old receiv
ers, and also decliriag that the Circuit Court for the
Eistern District of Wisconsin h id ju risdiction of the
bill for the foreclosure of the mortgage, but ruling that
as the Wisconsin Central no longer was operated by
the Northern Pacific and as therefore no considerable
part of the railroad of the Northern Pacific was now in
the E istern District of Wisconsin, com ity did not re
quire that questions coming up should be sent to the
Wisconsin Court for decision. The receivers were ac
cordingly ordered to make an answer in the Washing
ton Circuit to the charges filed against them.
The position of these receivers wis thus very embar
rassing. They had alreidy answered substantially the
same charges in the Wisconsin Court, and were now
called upon to defend themselves again in the Wash
ington Court. N ot only that, but in all their daily
acts in the administration of the property they ware to
be amenable to tiro separate courts, each claiming the
right to exercise independent jurisdiction ; an act ap
proved by the one conrt might be disapproved by the
other. Under the circumstinces the receivers co n
cluded to divest themselves o f their functions and sent
in their resignations. Tnen the trouble began in real
earnest. Judge Jenkins of the Wisconsin Court a c
cepted the resignations and appointed E l ward H.
M a H m ry of St. Paul and Frank G. B gelow of M il
waukee as new receivers.
Jadge II inford, adhering to his claim o f origi
nal jurisdiction for the courts in the Circuit for the
Pacific coast, refused to accept the resignations of the
old receivers but removed them instesd.
Nor
would
he
recognise
the
new
receivers
ap
pointed by Judge Jenkins, but appointed Andrew
F. Burleigh as receiver of the property. Mr. B irleigh
was subsequently confirmed by Judge Gilbert, the
Circuit Judge for the Pacific Circuit, and later by
Judge Beatty, the district Judge for Idaho. lie was
likewise confirmed by Judge Knowles, for the district
of Montana, who, however, appointed two additional
receivers, namely James II. Mills of Helena and E. L,
Bonner of Missoula. In January o f the present year
these two latter were retired by Judge Gilbert. Tne
appointees of Judge Jenkins, on the other hand,
had been confirmed by Judge 8 inborn for the
district of Minnesota, and also by Judge Thomas
for North Dakota.
The Northern Pacific sys
tem runs through three judicial circuits — the
Seventh, comprising within it the Wisconsin districts,
with Jenkins as Circuit Judge ; the Eighth, embracing
the districts of Minnesota and North Dakota, with
Caldwell as Circuit Judge; and the Ninth, embracing
the districts of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana, with Gilbert as Circuit Judge. The situation
then was this, that in the Ninth Circuit (in which
the Northern Pacific has 2,529 miles of road) Mr.
Burleigh was acting as receiver, and in the Seventh
and E'ghth Circuits (in which there are 1,985 miles)
Messrs. Edward II. McHenry and Frank G. Bigelow
were in charge; in addition the Northern Pacific has
moneys and property in the district of New York, com
prised within the Second Circuit, and here the old
209
receivers, Messrs. Oakes, Payne and Rouse, remained
in possession, Judge Locombe, in the wish to avoid
farther complications, having postponed action u n til
the conflict between the Western judges should be
settled.
The state of things here outlined was not only very
anomalous, but was proving very detrimental to the
property and jeopardizing its integrity. E ich set of re
ceivers of course had control only of the property in
the _Circuits for which they had been appointed, and
botween the opposing sets of receivers the system was
in danger o f being dismembered and the unity of its
operations destroyed. Nor could foreclosure be under
taken while this was the situation. It is significant
of how serious and threatening matters had become
and of the urgency existing for applying a corrective,
and of the common recognition of danger, that in the
end we find all the different interests working to
gether— Mr. Ives with Mr. E. D. Adams, the Chair
man of the bondholders’ reorganization committee,
and these with the second mortgage bondholders
and the Farmers’ Loan & Trust Company— one and
all bent only on rescuing the property from the plight
in which the judicial fight had put it.
Tne groat problem was how to find a remedy. It
was finally decided to apply to the United States Su
preme Court judges assigned to the Circuits in which
the property of the com piny is located— namely, Jus
tice Brewer for the Eighth Circuit, Justice Field for
the Ninth Circuit, Justice Harlan for the Seventh Cir
cuit and .Justice Brown for the Second Circuit— and
to ask them to make such order in their respective Cir
cuits ai would restore harmony and secure the opera
tion o f the property as an entirety. As already said,
in having recourse to this method, the parties iu inter
est were not at all certain that the plau would work as
desired.
Toere was 'doubt whether the appeal would
be entertained at all, and there was further doubt
whether in any event the Supreme Court .Justices
would care to issue an order o f the kind asked for, and
whether effect could be given to it. Fortunately the
move proved entirely successful.
The method for giving effect to the conclusions o f
the Saprems Court judges is very simple, and will
doubtless prove a precedent for the future. It con s sts in the issue o f ao identicil order by each of the
four justices to the district and Circuit judges of the
several Circuits, directing that the Circuit Court for
the Eistern District of Wisconsin is to be regarded
as the court of prim iry administration and that
the proceedings in the other courts are to be
ancillary in their character and in aid of those
in the court o f primary jurisdiction. As regards
the broad general question involved, the ruling will
also be useful for future guidance. The Justices say
thit they are o f the opinion that proceedings to fore
close a mortgage upon a road whose lines extend through
several Circuits should bs commenced in the Circuit
Court of the district in which the principal operating
offices are situated and in which there is some material
part of the railroad embraced by the mortgage, and
that such court should be the court of primary ju ris
diction and of principal decree.
This is the general course of action to be followed.
But in the Northern Pacific case, n3 the system at the
time of the filing of the creditors’ bill embraced the
Wisconsin Central, and as all parties assented to and
acquiesced in the taking of primary jurisdiction by the
Wisconsin Court, and as furthermore the Circuit Courts

half of the year, and not even the year’ s totals in
the usual form have yet been furnished. It was said
in explanation of this departure that some of the com
panies had refused any longer to furnish statements o f
their shipments to the Statistical Bureau. W hether
this was the real reason for the suspension, or merely
the ostensible reason, we do not know. The act, how
ever, was unfortunate, for in the end the effect was
simply to still further confuse the public mind. A t
the meetings of the Presidents this week and
last the aggregate output for 1895 was reported
at 46,545,761 tons.
If these figures are on the
same basis as those for previous years, they show that
case.
The question of primacy having been disposed of, in 1895 over five million tons more coal were mined

October the quoted price of stove coal was $4 15 per

end of the year the market again became demoralized.
In these circumstances another effort to harmonize
the differences between the companies became an im
perative necessity. The amount of coal to be mined
must be limited to the requirements of the market, so
as to enable the companies to get a better figure for
their product— not a high price but only a remunera
tive price. Even the Dataware Lackawanna & Western

and development of population and industrial activity
the demand for anthracite of course is a rising quanti

they will endeavor not to exceed the consumptive re

H I E WORLD'S GOLD A N D S IL V E R P R O D U C T IO N I N 1805 A ND P R E V 1 0 US YE A RS.
The year 1895 has closed with very active production
still in progress in the gold flslds o f the world, but
with the increase in the production of silver, hitherto so
marked, turned into a slight decrease under the influ
ence of the low price ruling for that metal.
O f coarse
at this early date noexact statement can be made of the
yield of either gold or silver in every country. While that
is true though, it is important to add that a great
change with reference to such statistics has been devel
oping the last few years. The larger producers o f gold
are getting more and more in the way of compiling and
makingpubliccurrent facts. Consequently there never
was a time when an approximate estimate of the world's
product of gold could be so easily and correctly reached
toon after the close of the year as it can be to day. A
January compilation has thereby become of increased
interest and usefulness. We shall hope another year to
be able to meet these new conditions through a use of the
cable, so as to give this annual review at least in more
complete form, and probably at a little earlier date
than on the present occasion.
The plan of publishing monthly or quarterly com pi
lations of gold production seems to hive grown up with
the South African developments and has become ma
terially extended of late. Returns are now p*epared
for stockholders and for market use, and in that way
become public property. Years ago mines were not to
the same extent as at present under the control of
English and Continental capitalists ; at those earlier
dates the people exploiting or working any district
were likely to represent more local concerns or private
undertakings. Information as to the richness of a
mine or a mining district was then not infrequently
refused, secrecy bei-ig observed as a matter of policy.
211
Since the great profit on ventures m ine ia S c u th
Africa there has been a decided dispesition in Great
Britain to try the same class of investments elsewhere.
European investors invariably demand the pub
lication of current fa cts ; aad the outcome of this
demand and of the extension of Great Britain’ s mining
investments is that more open methods are observed
and more frequent reports of production published by
countries other than South Africa. We cannot see
why it is not feasible for such rich mining centres for
instance as California and Colorado to adopt some
exact system of collecting by State authority their mining
results and publishing them promptly. As the matter ia
now conducted, enterprising newspapers in each State on
the first o f January prepare very elaborate statements,
but the year’s results given generally turn out to be
large*- than either Wells, Fargo & Co. or the Mint B u
reau credit the States with- There can be nothing very
difficult to be overcome by State officials in so making
up the product that all authorities will adopt the
figures. Such exhibits if not exaggerated but accur
ately prepared would be of benefit in directing the
attention'of capitalists to the wonderful undeveloped
mining resources of the portion of the country now
producing the precious metals.
GO LIS—PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD.
In a compilation of the world’ s annual production o f
the precious metals, the greater interest ia centered
now upon the gold product, though a few years ago
silver had the chief place. A reason for this change
of interest is no doubt found in the small and quite
nearly invariable gold output which for so many years
these compilations continued to disclose, and which now
at length and for about five years has been turned into
a decided and continuing increase.
To illustrate the recent increase take the values in
pounds sterling given in the table to be found later in
this article ; it will be noticed that the smallest gold
production was recorded for the five years ending with
1885, when the total reached £104,358,885, or a yearly
average of 1-ss than 21 millions sterling; the next five
years ending with 1890 there was a small growth in
the output, the total being £113,008,820, averaging
annually a little over 22i millions sterling; but for the
last five years the total has reached £166,988,415 and
the total for the last year 1895 has been £41,004,876,
or just about double the average iu 1881-1885. A n
other reason for this change of interest is the low price
at which silver has ruled since the India mints were
closed to free coinage ; it will be remembered that on
the announcement of that event the quotation in
London dropped to 3 0 L , and though th«*re was a
recovery thereafter— notwithstanding the subsequent
repeal of the silver purchase clause of our 1890 silver
law— the price has fluctuated aroun I 30d. all this year.
With a decline in the market value to so low a level
the idea of a return of silver as a money metal could
hardly fail to grow less probable in the judgm ent even
of those who have long looked forward .hopefully to
that end. Altogether then the conditions affecting
each metal recently developed have of themselves
tended both to center thought on gold and to divert it
from silver.
U nited States .— T he greater activity in gold m in
ing has in 1895 been marked by the almost universal
character of that feature. Of the targe producers every
one has shown an increased product the last year. A
further fact of interest is that iu annual product the
212
T H E
( H R O N K
United States ugain stands foremost, the total for 1895
being 3,273,580 ounces in the United States, against
2,212,600 ounces in Australia and 2,119,023 ounces in
Africa; nor is this all, for it seems that the United
States has at the same t i m e taken the first position in the
amount of annual increase, the total increase in 1895 over
1894 being in the United States about 303,000 ounces,
while in Africa it appears to have been only 254,000
ounces.
Theso are very noteworthy facts.
They
apparently prove that the United States has even
to-day, after having worked its mines nearly half a
century, better chances for investment in its gold
mining property than any country in the world. There
was, however, no increased product until 1893. In
fact for over fifteen years there had not been any sub
stantial growth in the output. It was not until silver
got so low as to afford little return for the work done
that miners were driven to other fields and largely to
gold. This change took place in 1893. Since then
the yield of gold has gone on increasing, the total
product in 1892 having been $33,014,081 (1,597,098
ounces), in 1893 having been $35,955,000 (1,739,323
ounces), in 1894 having been $39,500,000 (1,910,813
ounces), and now in 1895 having reached $47,000,000,
or 2,273,580 ounces— that is an increase in the annual
product of 14 million dollars in three years.
This is a most surprising resurrection of an industry
that seemed to be almost dyiDg out. Allied to it is
another remarkable fact. It appears that just so long
as these mining States, which we have got in the way
of calling silver States because they apparently had no
other industry that would thrive— just so long as they
clung to the paternal idea that the Government by
legislation could save from decline the price of their
pet metal they kept growing poorer and poorer. They
went on, to be sure, turning out each succeeding year
more and more of silver, but the larger the product
secured the less it was worth in spite of their little
device for keeping it off the market by having it stored
away for them in Government vaults. It was only
when the people of these States were deprived of this
dependence and began to strike out for themselves
that the industrial situation with them wholly changed
from dreadful depression to buoyant prosperity. We
have before us now the Denver “ Republican” of Jan
uary 1, 1896, of 44 pages, narrating with great gratifi
cation the results in Colorado o f the year. As to
metals the editor summarizes the results by stating a
product of 17]( million dollars worth of gold, 14£ mil
lions of silver, about 3 millions of lead a n d l million of
copper.
In 1892 Colorado, according to the Mint
report, produced only $5,300,000 of gold and $34,433,681 of silver (coining values), the silver being actually
worth only about 21 million dollars. There is no more
beautiful city in the world than Denver. The people,
too, are at least as bright as other people. We have
met them in their own streets and doubtless they are
men of ideas, usually as quick and clever in judgment
as the traditional Yankee or Philadelphia Quaker.
And yet, strange to say, they cannot read the logic so
clearly disclosed in the foregoing figures.
In speaking above of the United States gold pro
duct for 1895 we have used the estimate fur
nished us by Mr. Preston, Director of the Mint.
This week the interesting compilation of Mr. Valen
tine, President of Wells, Fargo & Co. has been
made public. We see that ho puts the total gold
product in 1895 for the United States at $48,399,729,
but he prefixes the figures with the qualification that
[Y ol . LXII.
LE.
returns obtained as his are through express compan
ies, &c., “ are liable to be exaggerated, and are to a
considerable degree guess work.” O f course Mr.
Preston's Mint estimate is subject to such modifica
tion as may be necessary on receipt of further details.
He states that now he is of the opinion that corrected
returns will make the value of the gold product in
1895 about 47 million dollars. It thus appears that
both of these authorities, while not differing from
one another very materially in their total, fail to ac
cept the full estimate made by the State of Colorado.
The following shows the Mint Bureau’ s figures for
1894 and the three previous years; also an estimate
by States for 1895 divided in the proportions of Mr.
Valentine's products by States, but decreased suffi
ciently to make the total om>y $47,000,000, the same as
the maximum estimate of the Mint Bureau at this date.

The foregoing favors the inference that the growth
in gold production has been general, almost every
State sharing in it. By far the greater portion of the
increase, indeed almost 50 per cent, has come from the
mines of Colorado. All the mining States are capable
of more rapid progress, and nothing prevents a much
more important development except the lack of confi
dence among capitalists in our monetary system.
S outh A f r ic a .— This young but vigorous and thriv
ing mining centre has received a slight set-back the past
year. W e do not of course mean that there has been
no increase in the product. It has already been stated
that the yield in 1895 showed a material growth over
that of 1894. In this particular the twelve months
have afforded a highly satisfactory record compared
with previous years. A t the same time it is admitted
that the progress has not met the early promise. It
probably could not have fulfilled expectations even
had the conditions been as favorable as in 1894. In many
cases such large earnings upon the capital invested
have been obtained in recent years that inflated ideas o f
values and of probable production naturally enough
prevailed. The market collapse the last half of the
year had been for some time anticipated; the wonder
was it had been deferred so long.
Am ong the difficulties the African mines have had
to contend with were a deficiency of labor and a short
supply of water. Notwithstanding these obstacles it is
quite a notable fact that the output of the R ard dis
trict made a decided increase down to the month of
December; this speaks well for the productiveness of
the district. For the seven months from May to N o
vember 1895, inclusive, the total yield of the W itwatersrand mines was 1,381,185 gross ounces, against
1,206,257 gross ounces in 1894, or an increase of
174,928 ounces, valued at £601,752. In December the
disturbance over political affairs of course interfered
with work, so that the product for the month aggre
gated only just about the same as in 1894. The com
plete monthly record of this district is interesting.

the precious metals as taken from the mines in Russia

the smaller producers. Mexico we see shows_ a slight
Joss, but its contribution is but a trifle. India on the
other hand has had the advantage of a considerable
supply of European capital, and has done well. It
promises, we think, to hold an important position
a'mong producers of gold in years to come. We have
brought together the reports o f the principal mines

The ounces in the foregoing table may be turned into
dollars by multiplying by 20’6718.
The value in
pounds sterling has been ascertained by multiplying the
ounces by 4 ’2478. Thus according to the above the
product in 1895 stated in dollars is 8199,549,082 and in
sterling £41,004,876. That aggregate compares with
8178,919,018 and £36,765,652 in 1894, and $158,660,094 and £32,602,967 in 1893.

Reliable early data with reference to silver is not
procurable to such an extent as to make it possible at
this time to say just what has been the course of this
industry in 1895. The returns thus far received indi
cate that the United States has mined less silver than
in 1894, while Mexico has increased its output, carrying
that country probably to the top of the list as a pro
ducer of the metal.
Australian advices denote a
smaller product, but for all other countries we have as

U n ited States .— T he mines of the United States,
according to Mr. John J. Valentine, have produced
$35,274,777 worth of silver the past twelve months,
against 828,721,014 in 1894. These results if adopted
would indicate a large increase in the product. The
values stated are commercial values and the increase is
therefore even greater than indicated by the figures as
they stand. The ounces are averaged at 65 cents for
1895, consequently the aggregate for that year repre
sents 54,268,888 ounces; for 1894 the value per ounce
was given as 63 cents, hence the estimate for that year
is equivalent to 45,588,911 ounces. Stated in this way
the gain is seen to be more than 8| million ounces.
On the other hand Mr. Preston, Director of the Mint,
has furnished us this week with a preliminary estimate
of silver production. He says that in his opinion the
final returns will not aggregate over 46,000,000 ounces
this year, which compares with 49,500,000 in 1894 and
60,000,000 ounces in 1893. The following table with
the exception noted below is made up from the Mint
reports and covers the production o f silver since
1886. The division of the 1895 total between the
States named is of course merely estimated, being
based upon such information as we have thus far been
able to obtain. We add a column giving the average
annual price of silver in London.

It will be noticed that the movement up to Jan. 31
shows a decrease in the average weight as compared
with the same period of last year, the average this year
being 502’65 lbs. per bale, against 508‘38 lbs. per bale
for the same time in 1894-5 and 496-65 lbs. in 1893-4.
THE D RY GOODS TRADE IN JA N U A R Y .
Outside influences have been against the market
throughout the month. The financial situation has
been chief among these, and under it buyers have
lacked confidence enough to push ahead with usual
preparations for spring trade in staple cotton goods,
confining their purchases almost entirely to meeting
current requirements. Manufacturers complain of in
adequate returns from sales of their products, but still
the tendency of prices has been downwards in brown,
bleached and colored cottons. Towards the close of the
month jobbers “ cut” leading makes of bleached cot
tons severely. In cotton dress fabrics the chief feature
has been the continued preference for novelties over
regular lines of prints and ginghams, which have sold
slowly and close barely steady. Print cloths have de
clined -|c. to 2|c. for extras, with the smallest business
for any month on record. Collections have been
irregular and the cause of numerous complaints.

There has likewise during the week been a considerable
speculation in silver securities of all kinds; and there has
been a very strong demand for British railway stocks, espec
ially for the deferred ordinary stocks. The expectation of
an immediate settlement o f the unfortunate shipbuilding
dispute lias le i to very large purchases o f the deferred
stocks of the Scotch companies. There is, however, little
dealing in the American market. This is mainly due at the
present tim » to the disorder in the currency. It is felt that
the new loan will b? as ineffectual as past loans to put an
end to the embarrassments, and consequently people are
afraid to buy until they have some assurance that Congress
will legislate wisely. In International securities there has
not been much doing here, though on the Continental

in Wall Street, is based on improved conditions, which in
some cases are likely to be permanent. The meeting on
Thursday of the anthracite coal presidents resulted in an
agreement as to the percentage of coal to be handled by
each company for the remainder of the year. This agree
ment is of great importance, affecting as it does all the an
thracite producing properties, and is a step towards placing
them on a better paying basis.
The complicated affairs of the Northern Pacific Company
are simplified by the decision o f the Judges of the United
States Supreme Court assigned to the circuits through
which the road runs. This decision removes what has
been the chief obstacle to the reorganization of the company.
The attitude of English investors towards American secur
ities has further improved during the week and foreign buy
ing has been a feature of the trading in Wall Street.
Other features of the situation are an easier foreign ex
change market and reduced gold exports, the generally fa
vorable reports of railway earnings, and a money market
more nearly in a normal condition than it has been since the
December panic.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 3 to 6 per
cent. To-day’s rates on call were 4 to 6 per cent. Prime
commercial paper is quoted at 6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed an increase in bullion o f £617,898, and the per
centage of reserve to liabilities was 63-15, against 62-52 last
week; the discount rate remains unchanged at 2 per cent.
The Bank of France shows a decrease o f 2,275,000 francs in
gold and an increase of 1,575,000 francs in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of Jan. 25 showed an increase in the reserve held of $4,667,200
and a surplus over the required reserve of $37,678,500, against
$82,345,559 the previous week.

The railway bond market has been more active and the firm
tone noted last week has developed into higher prices. Read
ing issues have been by far the most prominent features and
have advanced from 2 to nearly 7 points as a result o f the
favorable action taken by the coal presidents at their meet
ing on Thursday and progress with the reorganization.
Northern Pacific bonds were favorably affected by the de
cision of the United States Supreme Court Judges, which es
tablishes the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court which first ap
pointed receivers for the company.

R ailroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—In the stock market
progress has been made this week towards higher prices. In
some cases this movement is due to special causes, but it may
be attributed generally to the better financial conditions
now prevailing. The coal stocks have been the feature of
the railroad list and advanced from 3 to 7% points on the pros
pect of an early settlement of the anthracite difficulties.
Northern Pacific preferred stock has moved up about 3%
points on the improved conditions for reorganization. The
grangers have advanced an average of about two points.
Stocks with an international market and dividend-paying
shares which are little dealt in have generally made substan
tial gains. Manhattan Elevated has been strong on buying
said to be for parties representing inside interests, and in this
connection it is suggested that no new competition is likely
to develop soon.
The industrial list has been relatively less conspicuous than
the railroad list, and its features are in most cases less pro
nounced. The fluctuations of American Sugar have been be
tween 104 and 108%. Pacific Mail has advanced over 2 points
on reports of the satisfactory financial condition of the com
pany. Consolidated Gas advanced from 145 bid at the close
last week to 157% on Wedneday, and closes at 154. Tenn.
C. I. & RR. and American Tobacco are about 1 point higher,
while Chicago Gas has declined. 2

f R ep ort f o r the y ea r end ing D ecem ber SI, 1895.)
President Ethan Allen Doty says in the report:
P urcha se o f Citizens' Co.—During the year an agreement
was reached with the owners of the Citizens’ Company by
which the Edison Company purchased the entire capital stock
of the former ($500,000) for $175 per $100 share. To provide
for the above purchase and for other expenses consequent
IS C O M K A C C O U N T .
upon it, the stockholders of the Eiison Company authorized
an increase of capital stock from $3,000,000 to $3,750,000, and
A
an issue of additional bonds to the amount of $500,000.
The purchase of the Citizms’ Company was completed so
that its plant and properly came into our possession on July
1,1895. As was anticipated the new system proved to be a
valuable auxiliary to the Edison Company. Its earning
power, even at present, before we have been able to put into

President Emerson McMillin says ia the report:
G en eral R em its. —The increase in gross earnings is very
gratifying. The general condition of the property is decid
edly better than a year ago, owing to new construction, new
rolling stock and extensive repairs on old equipment. The
total number of passengers carried was 13,841,869, an increase
of 1,165,851, or 9-2 per cent compared with 1894. The total
car mileage was 3,592,333, an increase of 397,737. The report
say8 further:
The lncr*&«ed cost of operation is wholly due to an increase in main
tenance of way. maintenance of equipment and transportation. Tn
maintenance of way. the roballastlng and renewal of ties onGleuwood
Avenue, new crossings at railroad tracks, special work at various
points, and replacing of wooden with Iron poles, are iu the naturo of
an extraordinary expenditure, and have no corresponding items In
maintenance of way for 1991. The Increased oost of maintenance of
equipment Is due to expenditures In thorough general repair of car
bodies and repainting equipment a uniform color. The Increase of

President Thomas T. Eckert says in the report:
G eneral R esu lts—The depression which began in 1893 has
continued, making it practicable for this company to main
tain its profit and show a small increase in the net for the
year only by continuing its policy of the strictest economy.
;The profits to the stockholders in the corning year will depeud entirely upon the condition of general business. The
accounts of the company hare beeu examined by an expert
accountant, and his report, which is on file in this office,
shows them to be in excellent condition. During the year
there has been an increase of 3 district offices, 376 call boxes,
54 miles of wire. The lines and facilities have been main
tained in good order and are all in first-class condition.
It has not been found practicable to maintain the increase
of rates which was inaugurated after the acquisition of the
Mutual District Messenger Company, and the old tarilf of
rates has recently been substituted, from which we hope to
recover at least a part of the pa’ ronage which was with
drawn on account of the increase.
Securities —The stocks and bonds in company’s treasury
consisted of the following at their par value: 700 shares A. D.

statement of availaole assets and liabilities herewith sub
mitted.
N eeded Im p rov em en ts .—The West End steam line has cost
us 90 per cent to operate. I consider it of vast importance to
equip this line with electric appliances at the earliest practi
cable moment, thereby making a large saving in tbe co3t of
operation. The cost of the change would be approximately
$50,000. It would be well, also, to reconstruct the B lyou
Road line of 2 9 miles of track. These two lines reconstructed
would complete all the work whioh I believe would prove
profitable to the c >mpmy at this time.
We are now using 7 car barns, when 3 would accommodate
our entire system. It costs fully an average of $15,000 per
annum to operate these stations, so that an important saving
will accrue by a consolidation of stations, to say nothing of
the real estate that would be released.
D ivid en d s .—It is true that the making of these improve
ments would defer the resumption of dividends upon
your preferred stock, butlcannot conceive that the h >ld :rs of
said stock would object to the carrying out of a new policy
which would so largely strengthen and increase the intrinsic
valueof their property. Sb soon as the Abating indebtedness of
the company is fully discharged, it is our Durpose t o a ijust
the accumulated dividends in a manner satisfactory to the
stockholders, and to begin the payment of regular cash divi
dends.
D ifficu lty as to P o w er .—The operation of our lines has been
seriously interfered with throughout the entire year past
by the almost daily interruption and stoppage of cars
due to the failure on the part of the Louisiana Electric
Light Company to supply us with a steady current. The re
ceivers of the Louisiana Company have already improved the
service and promise at an early date to give us power to oper
ate a full quota of cars upon all our lines and to start up the
Levee & Barracks line. The receivership proceedings against
the Louisiana Co. were undertaken mainly at the instigation
of the New Orleans Traction Company to place itself in a posi
tion to operate continuously its cars, and to save at least
somewhat of its half million dollars’ interest in the Louisiana
plant. While it is true that we would be much better off if
we owned our own power plant, yet in view of the large intere-tof the New Orleans Traction Companv in the Louisiana
Electric Light Company I cannot advise the building of a
plant at least for twelve months to come.—V. 60, p. 963.

Central Pacific RR.—S tan ford Suit.— Kx, Washington, on
Tuesday, argument was heard by the Supreme Court of the

stockholder in the Central Pacific Railroad Company, to estab
lish bis liability for the debts of that corporation to the Gov
ernment, the demand being for the sum of $15,237,000. Both
in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern
District of California and in the Circuit Court of Appeals the
Government was defeated; the case comes to the Supreme
Court on appeal. The contention by the Government is that the
railroad company became indebted to the United States in the
amount of the bonds issued to them and was obligated to pay
the same with interest;‘that the Constitution of the State of
California imposed upon each stockholder an enforceable per
sonal obligation fora proportion of ail debts and liabilities con
tra ted by the company during his ownership of the stock.—

committee is carrying out with some modifications the plan
of January, 1894, under which new securities are to be issued
as follows to retire all old issues:
The new first mortgage bonds will bear 4 per cent interest in
stead of 5 a s originally intended. The old stock is given one share
of new for two shares of old on payment of $5 a share of old,
and are given for the assessment new preferred at forty.

ization plan. The North & South RR. is left out of the reor
ganization.

C in cin n a ti S outhern L ea se. — The city of Cincinnati has out
standing $18,600,000 of bonds issued on account of the con
struction of the Cincinnati Southern. About $15,000,000 of
these bonds bear interest at high rates, varying from six to
seven and three-tenths per cent; about $9,000,000 bearing
seven or seven and three-tenths per cent interest mature iu
1902 and the remainder of the $15,000,000 mature in 1896. The
present rental paid to the city for the Cincinnati Southern is
$1,000,000 per annum, which is more than theroad has earned
net for either of the past three years. Large improvements
and additions to the equipment are said to be necessary for the
proper future operation of the property to the extent in the
near future of at least $6,000,000. It is claimed that it would
be impossible for any lessee company or purchaser to provide
this money, which would add to the annual interest charge,
say, $300,000 and continue to pay the rental of $1,000,000. It
is this condition of affairs that led to a conference last week
in the city of Cincinnati between the sinking fund trustees
and the representative of the lessee railroads
The latter are
willing to renew the lease at a reduced rental or to purchase
the road. The matter, it is understood, was simply dis
cussed, but it is expected that the conference will lead to a
definite proposition from the city authorities.

Colorado Midland Ry.— E a rn in g s.— The earnings of this

1. The receiver has paid off $180,000 of certificates.—Y. 63,

Columbus & Hocking Coal & Iron —In terest P a y m en t .—
At Logan, Ohio, on Jan. 24, John J. Lentz, attorney for the
company, offered to pay into court at once $40,000 of the
$60,000 accrued interest ou the company’s bonds, and to pay
the balance within a reasonable time. Judge Huffman ac
cepted the offer and gave the company until Feb. 29 to secure
the balance. This action was a surprise, as the bondholders
were in court expecting to secure the appointment of a re
ceiver. It is said that the company has a large business in
sight and has just closed one very large contract. The bor
ing for cil has also proven very encouraging.—V. 61, p. 1154,

tee consisting of John L Gosppiuger, J. W . Wallace and
Martin Collies, appointed by dissatisfied stockholders to ex
amine into the “ true condition of th? company’s affairs,” has
made a supplemental report criticising the company’s
methods, particularly for paying dividends alleged not to
have been earned.
L itig a tio n . —In Illinois, General Maloney has commenced
q u o-w a rra n to proceedings against this company to annul its
charter. This action, the company says it is advised by it 3
attorney, if pressed, will terminate favorably to the com
pany, as there is no ground whatever for the proceedings.
In Indiana, two years ago, one of the original owners of
one of the smaller properties now owned by the National
Linseed Od Compmy brought suit to recover the property
and have it restored to him on the ground of the company
being a “ trust" and monopoly. O i the 20th inst., Judg;
Baker, of the United States District Court, sitting in Indian
apolis, handed down a decision upholding the deed to the
property in question, by which conveyance was made to the
National Linseed Oil Company.
All the property of the company, the company states, is
held in fee simple, the deeds are all of like form and were
prepared by the attorneys of the company at the time of
transfer—Judge E. B. Adams, of St. Louis, and W. W. Gur

continued narrow and unimportant. Operators as a rule
confess much perplexity over possibilities of final crop out
come, as well as chances for consumption, and prefer adopt
ing cautious methods for the present. During Saturday there
was considerable settling up of small deals on both sides, re
sulting in 4 points advance at opening and all lost^before
the close, Monday brought tame accounts from abroad and
increased estimates of crop movement for week, which served
to draw out long holdings and forced prices down
8@9 points. On Tuesday the opening was a trifle off, but
some of the small local operators having become oversold,
covering set in and.final rates were at 3@4 points net gain.
Wednt sday opened with another advance of about 4 points,
but no demand followed, and re-action left final rates 2 points
net decline. Yesterday matters were a little feverish, but in
the main inclined to greater strength, and closed with o points
net gain. To-day trading was slow again, with tone gener
ally easy and the value line settled off a small fraction. Cot
ton on the spot has been moderately active and fairly steady,
and closes at 814c. for middling uplands.
The total sales for for ward delivery for the week are 720,600
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week

Shipping News ,—The exports of cotton from the United
staf f's the past week, as per latest m ail returns, have reached
133,840 bales. So far as the Southern ports are concerned these
are the same exports reported by telegraph anti published in
the C hronicle last Friday. With regard to New York we
include the manifests of all vessels cleared up to Thursday.
A considerable portion of the Sea Island cotton shipped to
foreign ports goes vis New York, and some small amounts via
Biston and Baltimore. Instead of including this cotton for
the week in which it leaves the Southern outporfs, we follow
the same plan as in our regular table of including it when
actually exported from New York, & c. The details of the
shiomenta of Sea Island cotton for the week will be found
under the head “ Shipping News,” on a subsequent page.
