The full details of clearings for the week covered bv the
above statement will lie given next Saturday. WV cannot, of
course, fam ish them today, bank clearings being made up by
the various clearing house* at noon on Saturday, and hence in
the above the last twenty-four hours of the week have to be
in all cases estimated, as we go to press Friday night.
We give below our usual del ailed figures for the previous
week, covering the returns foy the period ending with Satur­
day noon, February 3, as well as the comparative totals in
17'.)3. Ti>e total exchanges show an increase over the p rev i­
ous week of twenty-six and thrte-quarter million dol­
lars, the gain at New York being nineteen millions. Compared
with the corresponding period of 1693 all but six of the citus
record losses, and in the aggregate for the whole country
there is a decline of 39-3 per cent. The most important per­
centages of decline this week have been at Spokane, f$Vf, per
cen t: Milwaukee. 82 Nashville. 60 2 ; Akron, 59 8 ; Chatta­
nooga, 36'S, and Seattle, 55*8 per cent.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
There have been important changes and movements
this week, both at home and abroad, having a certain
influence in our markets. Some have been of a favor­
able character and others unfavorable, but after all,
the immediate effect on the situation here has not
been marked by any special development in either
direction. Industrial interests continue in an attitude
of suspense, with but little modification to be observed
from week to week. A notable and favorable feature
has been the speedy recovery of the Treasury balance
by means of the proceeds of the bond sales. Yesterday
the gold balance was reported at $96,321,229, against
$65,650,175 on February 1, 1891. This renewed
strength has imparted a sense of stability to all our
currency and financial movements; that was an
essential preliminary to a further development o"
confidence. Although at the moment the results of
the change are not seen in business revival, this much
is true, that no return of industrial activity was possi­
ble until the weakness of the Treasury was removed.
Mr. Carlisle should now study to have on hand an am­
ple balance, even though to db it he must defer pay­
ments and keep creditors waiting. That policy is an
imperative requirement of the situation until Congress
has passed a satisfactory law authorizing a 3 per cent
bond or Treasury note which can be used at any time to
meet current wants.
The further fall in wheat which has occurred is an
unfortunate circumstance. With prices already so
low, each reduction bears heavily upon a large class of
our population. The decline though has been due to
obvious causes. The revival in Congress of the anti­
option bill has been a prominent incident of the last
few days and may have acted as the final discourage­
ment to lead holders to unload their burdens. But
aside from that the enormous visible supply, the light
export demand and the favorable crop prospects not
only here but in Europe and in other producing countries
have all contributed to depress the market. Some
writers appear to be inclined to attribute the fall in
wheat to the lower price for silver. Up to the time of
the closing of the mints in India it was claimed that
since the rupee had not depreciated in the interior of
India and as the exporter of wheat could purchase silver
bullion and get it turned into rupees at the mint, the
ryot virtually received a bounty on his product. Now
a similar claim seems to be made, but the reasoning to
support it lacks the mint to complete the argument.
We have written in a subsequent column concerning
the decline in silver this week, and on page 252 we give
to-day in answer to many inquiries a table which shows
the prices of silver each month from 1833 to 1893.
Currency has continued to flow towards this center
the past week, but in decreased volume. As the banks
have at the same time been paying for the bonds pur­
chased of the Government, the returns of the Clearing
House banks made public to-day will show a large de­
crease in reserve. Money on call, representing bank­
ers' balances, has loaned at 1 | and at of 1 per cent
this week, averaging 1 per cent. Renewals have been

fVOL. LVIII,

made at 1 to 14 per cent and banks and trust compan­
ies quote 2 per cent as the minimum, while some obtain
3 per cent. Notwithstanding the withdrawal of money
from the banks for the subscriptions to the Government
bonds, the market for time contracts shows no
change. Funds are freely offered by nearly all the usual
lenders, but the demand is insignificant.
Quotations
are 2 per cent for thirty to sixty days, 2$ per cent
for ninety days to four months and 3 to 3^ per cent for
five to seven months on good Stock Exchange collateral.
Commercial paper is in fair demand in the city and
there is a good inquiry from out of town; the heavy
paper-buying banks having made their deposits for the
Government loan are not eagerly inquiring for paper,
but the supply is so limited in consequence of inactive
trade that there is no accumulation.
Quotations are
3 to 3£ per cent for sixty to ninety day endorsed bills
receivable, 4 to 4.j percent for four months’ commission
house names and 5 to 6 per cent for good single names
having from four to six months to run. One sale of
double-name paper was reported on Thursday at 3 per
cent, but this was exceptionally good, being drawn by a
first-class manufacturer and endorsed by a city house
of high standing.
The Bank of England minimum rate of discount
remains unchanged at 21 per cent, but the Imperial
Bank of Germany has reduced its rate from 4 to 3 per
cent. The Bank of Bengal has advanced its rate from
7 to 9 per cent. The cable reports discounts of sixty
to ninety-day bank bills in London 2J per cent. The
open market rate at Paris is 2§ per cent, at Berlin it is
I f per cent and at Frankfort 1|- per cent. According
to our special cable from London the Bank of England
gained £420,823 bullion during the week and held at
the close £28,447,469.
Our correspondent further ad­
vises us that the gain was the result of exports to Malta
of £15,000, receipts from the interior of Great Britain
of £230,000 and imports of £.206,000, of which
£178,000 was bought in the open market, £18,000 was
received from Portugal, £8,000 from Paris and £2,000
from other sources.
Foreign exchange has been without feature and
indeed almost stagnant this week. Bankers say that
they have never known it so dull for so long a period
and they see little prospect of revival. Money is so
cheap here that funds resulting from collections or
from other sources are promptly remitted; the mercan
tile demand is insignificant, which seems to indicate
that pretty much all the indebtedness of merchants has
been liquidated; the arbitrage operations just about
balance and certainly make no impression either way;
the movement of staples is light and prices, especially
of breadstuffs, low, so that the resulting bills are
not large. The market is quite as narrow as it has
been for the past six weeks, and therefore easily influ­
enced, and a demand for a small amount or compara­
tively liberal offerings would quickly change the tone. On
Monday the receipts of bills from the interior were light,
although fully up to the average ; the demand, however,
was also small and it speedily subsided. On Tuesday com­
mercial bills were limited, but they were fully equal to
the inquiry, and there was no change in the situation
on Wednesday, although in the afternoon there was a
noticeable absence of demand, and this continuing on
Thursday brought about an easier tone and a reduc­
tion in nominal rates by Brown Bros., Heidelbaeh
Ickelheimer & Co. and Lazard Freres, and the market
was easy at the close and very quiet. Yesterday
some of the bankers advanced rates again, and the

Statement being accompanied by the further sig­
nificant and rather startling announcement that ‘‘such
a condition of things is certainly not to be accepted
and acquiesced in as permanent and inevitable.
The
general excellence of the passenger service in the State
and its cheapness, we are told, gives cause for gratifi­
cation, but the condition of the freight service as regards
its average scale of cost “ comes far short of reflecting
equal credit on the railroads or the enterprise of the
Commonwealth.” “ As between a cheap passenger
service,” the Commission goes on to say, “ and a cheap
freight service, the latter is the more conducive and
indispensable to material growth and prosperity. We
cannot expect to hold, and much less to swell, the
volume of trade and industry in this State with a tariff
per mile for moving the commodities of commerce and
the materials and products of manufacture which is
substantially in excess of that in other States.” It is
all very well, the Commission continues, to give atten­
tion to improved metropolitan transit and a quicker
passenger service between Boston and other cities, “ but
the imperative and far-reaching demand in this State,
as regards railroad transportation, is for better and
cheaper facilities for the carriage of merchandise. The
next and most needed step for the improvement of our
railroad system lies in the direction of a lower average
freight rate.”
To have it stated that rates are “ high ” and “ un­
satisfactory,” that their continuance at these figures
is not to be “ acquiesced in,” that the volume of trade
and business in the State can not be maintained at
such rates (this in face of a table on a preceding
page of the report showing that during the last nine
years the tonnage movement of the roads in the State
has increased 99 per cent on an increase in extent of
road operated of only 35 per cent) and that the situa­
tion of rates does not reflect “ credit on the railroads
or the enterprise of the Commonwealth”—to read
such statements makes one stop to think whether there
is not a mistake somewhere, whether we have not got
hold of the report of a Railroad Commission of one of
the Western States. Language of that kind in Massa­
chusetts certainly has a strange sound and marks a
new departure. Further evidence of change is found
in another portion of the report, where reference
is had to the shrinkage in revenues that has
occurred since last June as a result of the great de­
pression in business. Under this reduction of income,
the Commission says, the railroad corporations will be
justified in the adoption of well-considered economies
in the conduct of their business, “ and the public should
endure without complaint a reasonable curtailment of
such facilities for transportation as cannot now be fur­
nished without actual and undue loss.” “ But,” they go
on, “ no attempt should be made to shift the burden of
the situation wholly on the public. The corporations
should meet the public half-way; and the diminution
of the service rendered should be graduated by the re­
duction in the rate of the dividends paid to their stock­
holders.”
Here then is a pretty plain declaration that the
roads will be expected to reduce their dividends rather
than curtail the service to the public except where
an actual and “ undue loss ” is involved. Likewise
they are told they must reduce their rates, and this at
a time when traffic is heavily falling off. Moreover,
the roads are confronted by a statutory enactment
requiring them to abolish grade crossings and bear the
greater portion of the expense themselves. The latter

[Vol. LV III.

is by no means a small item; so far as the special
commissioners had made reports to the courts the ex­
penditures for the abolition of crossings for the three
and a-half years to December 31, 1893, aggregated
$2,098,745, of which the companies are obliged to pay
about two-thirds.
The situation thus outlined gives rise to some inter­
esting queries and suggestions. Is there to be a change
in the public treatment of the railroads of New Eng­
land ? Is the old-time conservative policy under
which the railroads of that section have attained a
position of strength and credit superior to that of the
roads of any other section, to be deliberately abandoned,
and replaced by another policy under which demands
are to be made upon the companies without regard or
consideration for their welfare ? Up to the present
time the New England roads, taken as a whole, have
been exceptionally Jjprosperous and have been able to
pay good dividends. This prosperity they have owed
mainly to the liberal way in which they have been
treated by the public.
If we should grant that the higher average in Massa­
chusetts reflected actually higher rates—that is higher
on traffic of the same kind moved under like con­
ditions—an all sufficient answer would be that it
is simply this difference in rates that has kept
the Massachusetts roads on a remunerative basis.
Consider for a moment the condition of things
in other sections.
For years the roads in these
sections have been squeezed and oppressed until
finally their very existence was threatened ; now comes
a period of business depression and the whole fabric
collapses, and receivership after receivership encumbers
the record.
Profits were cut so fine that with a
falling oil in traffic bankruptcy could not be
avoided. The experience of the last few months
has made the situation in this respect very
plain, and the great question of the day is
how to bring about an improvement. For if our in ­
dustries are to be lifted out of the slough of despond
into which they have fallen, the railroad industry—the
greatest of all our industries—must receive very care­
ful attention. In some way this industry must be
restored to a plane of solvency and allowed to make
profit enough to keep it there. It is at such a time as
this that the State of Massachusetts, speaking through
its Railroad Commission, would take a retrograde step.
The dilemma from which other States now recognize
they must extricate themselves, Massachusetts would
assume for herself.
But let us look into this question of Massachusetts
freight rates. It is very easy to show that there are
factors underlying the question in that State which
fully explain the higher basis prevailing there. At the
outset we may point out that though the average is
higher than in other sections the tendency has been
downwards the same as elsewhere. Thus while the av­
erage for 1893 is 1‘39 cents per ton mile, in 1888 it was
l -55 cents, in 1883 1‘72 cents, and in 1871 as much as
3 ‘11 cents. As already noted, too, there has been
no lack of growth in the volume of the traffic under
these rates, the tonnage movement in the last nine years
having nearly doubled, with an addition to the mileage
of only a little over one third. But notwithstanding
this expansion, freight traffic in Massachusetts is
nevertheless comparatively light. For instance the
tonnage movement one mile per mile of road aver­

We have already stated that out of the whole 123
roads which have contributed returns to our statement
only 23 are able to report enlarged gross receipts.
Of these 28 only three have gains reaching #30,000 or
over, two being Southern roads, namely the Norfolk &
Western and the Richmond & Danville, and the other
a Mexican road, the .Mexican Central, Southern roads
have on the whole done better than any others, and bebesides the two mentioned there are ten others which
have increases, mostly minor roads, however. On tho
other hand the LauLvilie & Nashville has quite a consid

The railway dividends announced this week are much more
The North
Eastern late on Thursday evening made known that its divi­
dend for the past half-year will be at the rate of 7 per cent per
annum, compared with 6% per cent per annum for the second
half of 1893. This was decidedly better than had been ex­
pected, and yesterday morning there was a rise of 3 in the
stock. On Wednesday the London & South Western an­
nounced a dividend at the rate of 7?£ per cent per annum,
against 1% for the corresponding half of 1892, a decrease of
no more than % per cent, which was considered very satis­
factory by the market. On the same day the directors of the
London Chatham & Dover Company announced that they
would pay 2?£ per cent on the preference stock, which is the
same as at this time last year.
Inconsequence of the more satisfactory dividends, the in­
crease in the traffic receipts and the better feeling regarding
trade, there has been a very marked rise in British railway
stocks during the week, the rise ranging from 1M to neirly
2?£. It is believed, too, that about a fortnight ago, when
some very unfavorable dividends were announced, there was
a good deal of speculative selling. This week the speculators
hastened to buy back, and prices were rushed up immediately,
There are unquestionably signs of improvement in trade at
home. Already it is beginning in the iron and steel industries,
and gem rally -peaking the trade reports and circulars are
much more hopeful. In the American department business is
still sm all; but there is, for all that, a much better feeling
than there has been for a long time past. As has so often been
repeated in this correspondence, the London market will not
take the lead in putting up prices, but if it receives encourage­
ment from New York, there is no doubt that investment here
will increase steadily. The almost universal feeling is that
any change now must be for the better, and that those who
buy with their own money and lock away stocks will make
very handsome profits during the next couple of years,

! From oar own correspondent.}
London, Saturday, January 27, 1891.
The rate of discount in the open m arket is moving up
rapidly. It is now about 2 per cent, and is likely to advance
to the level of the Bank rate before tong. The India Council
invites tenders to be sent in on Tuesday next for 2tj' millions
sterling of 8 months’ bills. Tbe collection of tbe revenue is
proceeding at a very rapid ra*e and trade throughout the
country generally is unquestionably more active than it was,
For instance, the railway traffic returns for the week ended
Sunday last show an increase over tbe corresponding week of
last year of fully 5 per cent. The directors of tbe Bank of
England in consequence have made no change in their rate,
although the Bank is exceptionally strong a t present. Ita
reserve exceeds I9t£ millions sterling, and the proportion to
the liabilities is nearly 54'^ per cent.
A t the beginning of the week it was officially announced

that the India Council would no longer insist upon la 3?%iL per
rupee—the minimum which it has held out for during the
past six month*—in the sale of ita drafts. There was in con­

sequence a very sharp fall both in silver and in exchange, the
market being completely surprised by so sudden a change of

There is also a more hopeful feeling respecting A rgentina,
where tbe economic condition is steadily improving. B ut
investment is checked bv the high gold premium ; it is as high
as 245 i t present. As the exports from A rgentina are now on
a large scale, there seems no doubt th at the rise in the gold
prem ium is due to political apprehension alone. On the
Continent the Bourses generally are quiet. In Paris not only
the 41,» but tbe 3 per cents also have beeu sold on a large
scale since the conversion was announced, anil th at has dis­
couraged operators generally. At the same tim e the selling
m ust by ai d by have a good effect upon the m arket, for those
who sell will have to re invest. Indeed, the re-investm ent is
already going on, there being a strong demand for Russian,
Egyptian, Turkish and Bulgarian. The best opinion in Paris
i% that before very long buaim -s on the Bourse will increase
largely, for money i* very abundant, and the shifting of in­
vestments must rak e prices. Nothing has yet been done w ith
regard to the Spanish loan. The French banker* profess a
readiness to lend, but they insist upon concessions being made
to the railway companies. Nothing either has been done
with regard to Italy, where m atters are exceedingly bad.
Still tbe opinion »» gaining ground th a t the worst ia over,
and Italian Rentes have decidedly risen this week.

REPORTS.

National Lead Company.
The President, Mr. W. P. Thompson, says in his report:
“ It will be observed that there has been a diminution of
stock on hand of SI,289,956. This is occasioned mainly by
the fact that preceding the year 1893 we had been very ex­
tensively engaged in the smelting business for the purpose of
aiding in securing our supplies of pig lead, and, incident to
this the smelting, refining and parting of silver ores. It be­
came evident to the board of directors that, in operation, the
Sherman silver purchase law had failed of its purpose, and
that it was the desire of the English Government to bring
India to a gold basis, to escape from the threatened disaster of
the over-production of silver. It was deemed wisest and best
to curtail our operations in silver smelting as rapidly as pos­
sible and, after most careful consideration, it was determined
that our smelters at Leadville should be closed in March, 1893,
and, as soon as the various contracts we had for bullion and
ores had expired, to also close our smelters at St. Louis, which
was practically done in June, and the refining and parting
plant soon thereafter.
“ In doing this, the stock of silver in ores at Leadville and
St. Louis was converted into cash, which is now in the treas­
ury of the comiany. The extraordinary depression in the
price of silver has continued into the present year, and it is
not the purpose of the Board to resume smelting operations on
the former large scale until some substantial and reasonably
fixed value for silver has been reached, and the business placed
upon such stable foundations as will make it practicable to re­
alize fair profits on the investment.
“ It will further be seen that the profits in the business were
not so large as in the preceding year, mainly arising from the
operations of the smelting plants, the fact that for quite a pe­
riod of the year the prices for linseed oil were quite low, and
the diminished output in all branches of the business the last
half of the year. In July the financi al panic occurred, the
most extraordinary and far-reaching this country has ever
seen, producing stagnation of business in all directions, the
effects of which were severe upon this company. Added to
the paralyzing effects of the panic was the knowledge that a
new taiiff was to be formed which would more or less affect
all manufacturing and mercantile business, so that during the
latter part of tl.e year the volume of sales and deliveries was
very greatly diminished.
“ Your beard of directors, keenly alive to the condition of
trade and impending changes, and being able to purchase
supplies on a lower basis, gradually reduced the price of their
commodities, so that at the time this report is being prepared
our lead products are being sold at a lower price than ever be­
fore known in the history of the country.” * * *
“ It will be further observed that the surplus fund is $950,355 81, which is now wisely employed in the conduct of the
business, but is applicable for the payment of dividends when­
ever it may be thought prudent. It is also shown that our
mortgage indebtedness has been reduced to 837,603 25 and I
am glad to say that provision has been made for the early
payment and cancellation of all mortgages, excepting some
small annuities to which the company succeeded and which
cannot at present be paid off.
“ The additions to plant aDd construction represent invest­
ments and enlargements at New York, Philadelphia, Chicago
and St. Louis, and expenditures made necessary by the ex­
tension of our lines of manufacture to products not heretofore
made, and from which we have a reasonable expectation of
added profit.
“ It affords me pleasure to say that the officers cf this com­
pany, and the entire managerial staff, have voluntarily con­
sented to a reduction of their salaries 10 per cent for the oming year, and have addressed themselves to the introduction
of every conceivable economy.
“ The stockholders will be gratified to know that the month
of January of this year shows the largest volume of business
for the same month in the history of tne company. We have
so perfected our methods that we can state without question
that the goods manufactured by the National Lead Company
have no superior, and to such an extent, have they succeeded
in satisfying customers that scarcely a complaint has been
made within the last year.”
To show the relation of the various accounts, a comparative
sheet as they stood on the respeciive dans, December S i ,
1892, and December 30, 1893, is presented herewith, together
w ith a statement of surplus account:

American Strawbaard Co.
(F o r the year ending December SI, 1893. J

There was a contest at the annual election in Chicago and
the ticket beaded by Gen. Samuel Thomas defeated that of
the late president, Mr. O. C. Barber. Tne successful ticket
included the names of Samuel Thomas of New York, W. P.
Orr of Ohio, R. F. Newcomb of Quincy, 111., F. H. Conderman of Philadelphia. O. G. Berber of Akron, la., J. K. Rrbinson of Chicago and Emery Erton of New York. Mr. Bar­
ber and Mr. Robinson declined to serve on the new board and

The net earnings show 57 per cent on capitaL stock. The
decrease in business the last half of 1893 was attributed to the
financial panic. The business of the first six months, Mr.
Swinarton said, sustained the 1893 report’s statement that the
company bore a satisfactory relation to the trade. Expenses
were reduced the last half of the year and again January 1 to
meet the exigencies of the times.
President Barber was question! d as to a comparative state­
ment made by him of the cost of making strawboard, that in
1889 the cost was S17 40 a ton and in 1893, $19 07.
“ J hat apparent diff, rence,” said Mr. Barber, “ is due to the
change in bookkeeping methods. Repairs and improvements
are now c 1arged to the mill where made, and they used to be
cbaiged to the expense account. Ou one mill $40,000 was
spent and $3 a ten has since been added to the cost of strawtoard from ihat mill.”
G-neral Manager Swinarton made a detailed statement of
the cost of manufacture. Tne increase in cost in 1893 was, he
said. 70 7-10 c nts a toa, due to the decreased production and
to the charging of repairs to the mills.
South Carolina Railway.
(F o r the year ending Oct. 31, 1893. J

The report of the Receiver, Mr. D. H. Chamberlain, states
that the year was one of great business depression in the
!.
section covered by the S ruth Carolina Railway. In the
months of January and February the tonnage of fertilizers i
carried was unusally large, but even during those months the
ea i ni :gs from other sources were considerably less than in
the preceding year. In the three other months the carriage
of jetty rock was somewhat mcreased over the preceding
year, but from all other sources the revenues were diminished
during those moLths. The falling off of the passenger busi­
ness has been most marked. The number of passenger*
carried last year was 293,355, while in the preceding year the
number was 358,733 and in the year 1891, 531,034. The rev­
enue from passenger business also fell from $413,219 in 1891
and $346,748 in 1893, to $311,569 for the last year, or a loss, as
compared with 1892, of over 10 per cent.
The Receiver regrets to report that his hopes of reducing
expenses during the past year have not been realized. The
total iacrease in expenses has been $37,568. In the one item
ot “ maintenance of way” there has been a small decrease,
l’he increase in other items is directly due to specific unavoid- I
able causes.

D elaw are & Hntlson.—Mr. Olyphant, President of the Dela­
ware & Hudson Canal Co., savs that the managers have not
decided to is-ue $o,000,000. The stockholders will decide w hat
is best to be done a t their m eeting on May 1. If the stock is
voted the purpose is to use the proceeds to provide for $4,829»
000 in ' per cent bonds m aturing next October. The $5,c00 000
new stock would probably be offered to stockholders for sub­
scription a t par.

A fair average trade is doing in food products and the gen­
eral merchandise m arkets reveal a slightly increased dem and
for seasonable special'ies. Buyers, however, adhere tena­
ciously to the previously noted cautious methods and refuse
to negotiate beyond carefully calculated requirements. The
decline in price of silver abroad has disturbed the rate of ex ­
change on India and curtailed business with th a t locality, A
very marked feature of the current week was the effort to
liquidate speculative holdings of staple commodities. The
pressure to realize was especially noticeable upon wheat, which
sold at the lowest price on record, under the influence of
nearly suspended investing demand, the indifferent attitude
of domestic and foreign consumers and somewhat larger crop
movements than calculated upon. At the decline in price,
export orders for wheat have been attracted, which serves to
infuse a healthier tone a t the close. Flour sells moderately.
The coarse grains have generally sympathized in the declining
tendency of wheat, w ithout securing benefit of increased de­
mand. The movement of corn from growers' hands increased
somewhat. Nothing detrim ental to general prospects of win­
ter grain has been shown. Manufacturers have purchased
wool with greater freedom.
Lard on the spot has met with a very slow trade and prices
have declined, closing weak at 7 u 7’•j e for prime City, 7.75c.
for prime Western and S*20c, for refined for the Continent,
The speculation in lard for future delivery at th is m arket has
been dull and prices have declined in sym pathy w ith the
West, where packers have been selling prompted by the dulness of trade, closing easy.

Speculation in cotton for fu tu re delivery a t this m arket was
very m oderate and the feeling was exceedingly tam e through­

have found encouragem ent in continued lig h t m ovement at
the interior towns and the ports, coupled w ith indications of

The market for Indian corn futures has also shared, to a
moderate extent, in the depression in wheat, as longs have
been moderate sellers, prompted by the favorable weather
conditions and an increased movement of the crop. The
spot market has been fairly active, both for export and local
account, but at lower prices. The sales yesterday included
No. 2 mixed at 42 S42J^c. in elevator and 4 2 ^ '343c. deliv­
ered, No. 2 white at 44l£c. in elevator and low mixed at
43.tj'c. delivered. To-day the market was firmer during
early ’Change on reports of rain West and a falling off in
the crop movement, but later there was a decline in sympa­
thy with the break in wheat. Spot corn was quiet but about
steady. The sales included No. 2 mixed at 42J; 4234c. in
elevator and 43 J43j4c. delivered.

Despite the break in the wheat and com markets, sales of oats
for future delivery have made a moderate advance on buying
by ‘‘shorts” to cover contracts, stimulated by the small move­
ment to the seaboard from the interior. The spot market has
been fairly active, and with reduced supplies prices have ad­
vanced. Yesterday the sales included No. 2 mixed at 34349
3534 c. and No. 2 white at 36J4@36^c. To-day the market
was dull but steady. The spot market was firmer owiDg to
scarcity of supplies. The sales included No. 2 mixed at 3534c.
and No. 2 white at 37c.

The value of the New York exoorts for the year has been
$1,424,193 in 1894, against $919,694 in 1893.
The chief feature in staple cottons has been the cut in the

that a bond dealer has a call for a five hundred dollar
bond.
Sixth.—The details of execution should be carefully
attended to. For instance, it is important that the
denomination, interest rate, date of issue, date of ma­
turity and name of bond be plainly set forth on
the filing, that is to say, on the outside of the bond
when folded.
This suggestion would seem al­
most unnecessary, but it not infrequently happens that
a whole issue of bonds is sent to the purchaser all
neatly folded and having no indication at all on the
outside of what they are. It is well in the case of
coupon bonds to have the coupons carry litho­
graphed signatures, as when a number of signatures
are required and all are written the omission of a
single name from some one coupon is not noticeable,
and goes undiscovered until the coupon is presented
for payment.
It is often advisable for small towns, school dis­
tricts, Ac., unaccustomed to issuing bonds, to first
sell their loan and allow the purchaser’s attorney to
draw up a form .for the securities. Another general
suggestion to small places wishing to issue bonds is
that they should copy so far as possib’e the issues
made by large cities.

Nine bids wore received for the loan offered by the
city of New Haven, Conn. The offering of 65 to the
amount of $10,000 by Bellefontaine, Ohio, drew out
ten bidders and the securities brought 111'05. A good
price (106-89) was received by the city of Cambridge
for 4 per cent 30-year park bonds to the amount of
$110,000. Ia M iy of 1892 the same city sold 4 per
cent 20-year water bonds at 106-09 and 10-year street
and building bonds at 103-26. Again in December,
1892, Cambridge sold both 4 per cent 2 0 -year water
bonds and 1 0 -year paving and school bonds at 103-15.
The foregoing record would indicate that there has
been a good demand for the high-class city securities
since the first of this year.
Since the publication of the list of sales for Decern
her, 1893, we have received notice from Elmira, N. Y.,

V irginia.—On Wednesday of this week the Virginia House
of Representatives passed the bill which had already gone
through the Senate, authorizing the State Sinking Fund Com­
missioners to invest the surplus revenues of the State from
time to time in Virginia Century bonds or Virginia 3s, to the
extent of $100,000 per month. It is confidently expected that
the Governor will promptly sign the bill, as he recommended
its passage in his recent message. The full text of the Act
was published in the Chronicle last week but the Legisla­
ture has made one slight change in the reading of Sec. 421,
whereby the Sinking Fund Commissioners are authorized to
meet on the second Tuesday of February, 1894, and the second
Tuesday in every month thereafter. A Richmond banking
house writes us that the Sinking Fund Commissioners are ex­
pected to meet next Tuesday and will probably then decide to
advertise for bids to be submitted in Richmond by the 19th of
of this month.
Acting by authority of the other new Virginia law, which
we published last week, the State Sinking Fund Commission­
ers are offering to fund all Virginia securities which were not
funded under the Act of February 20, 1892. F u l l p a r t i c u l a r s
