On a subsequent page we give our usual review and
compilation of earnings of United States railroads for
the month of January. The comparison with last year
is quite favorable, there being an increase of $3,732,448, or almost 11 per cent.
The Southern Pacific has
issued its return for December, showing $168,432 de­
crease in gross but $112,518 increase in net, this in­
cluding the affiliated roads. The following furnishes
a four-year comparison for a number of roads which
have this week furnished returns for the month of

DEVELOPMENTS WEIGH HAVE AND
M A Y FOLLOW TEE BOND SALE.
The bond sale has passed its second phase this week.
La3t week the bids were opened and the successful
competitors announced. This week the first instalment,
which falls due February loth , has, as we write, been
almost wholly anticipated ; and not only that but full
payment for the bonds in many cases has been made,
so that probably by Saturday night the Treasury re­
serve will again exceed the 100 million-dollar lim it.
Farther featuies of this week are that foreign exchange
has been lower again, money has been easier, and many
forecasts of the final effect of the bond sale on the
Government stock of gold have been published, rang­
ing from 110 to 135 million dollars. A fair estimate
to-day o f the final outcome would seem to be about 130
million dollars.
An early development, which made all forecasts un­
certain, was considerable withdrawals o f gold from the
Treasury by some of the successful bidders to make
their payment with.
This action has disconcerted the
whole body of calculators. It could not be known just
how widely the interpretation would be put upon the
transaction for fortifying the gold reserve which a cer­
tain class of small subscribers to the loan seemed to
adopt. Such purchasers of bonds for replenishing the
Treasury gold appeared to think that withdraw­
ing the metal from
the Treasury
with one
hand and re-depositing it with the other fulfilled
their part o f the contract. It no doubt did legally,
but fortunately the large majority did not so construe
the moral part of the obligation. When a govern­
ment offers to sell bonds for the avowed purpose of in­
creasing its gold holdings, a man who subscribes would
appear by that act to imply that he has the gold and
that he will help to forward the proposed work; that
is to say, he will not take the bonds unless he intends
to aid in the attainment of the object.
Fortunately, as already said, the large body of b id ­
ders took this view of the obligation. It may be
merely a European sentiment, but it is none the less
the fact, that a substantial stock o f gold in the Treas­
ury is, under present conditions of our currency,
quieting and assuring to foreign investors; and inas­
much as we are a debtor nation we have got to conform
to that sentiment if we want undisturbed business
prosperity. We expressed the opinion last month that
it would be the wiser course to make a direct purchase of
gold with bonds, as was done in February 1895. We still
are of the impression that plan would have proved more
advantageous to oar industrial interests because it
would have produced better results. Peruaps that
view will turn out to be erroneous. Certainly thelarge number and volume of subscriptions to the bond
off r has had an exhiiara'iDg effect. I t February
1895, by a sale of 62 million of bonds and start.ng with
Treasury gold on February 12 at $41,340,181, the Gov­
ernment holdings reached over 107 mill-on d liars and
continued at about that figure dowo to August 5 1895,
and did not go btlo v 100 mill.o is until o r September

these roads to the Government, it is certain that it will
not involve Government acquisition of the roads as a
permanent policv. Successive Government directors
of the Union Pacific have all declared themselves
opposed to such a method, and the vast majority of
the people are equally pr- nounoed in their opposition.
T be truth is, the experiment of Government ownership
of the railroad system would involve serious dangers and
risks, and practically all classes of the population strongly
discountenance the taking of any step io that direction.
As regards municipal ownership of the street rail­
ways, the report above referred to well says that under
the present system of municipal government the
ownership and operation of railroads by the cities
would have a tendency to convert those enterprises
into powerful machines, the result of which would be
detrimental to the public welfare. Hence unhesir.at
ing disapproval of the proposition is expressed. There
may be circumstances, the committee declare, under
which it will be feasible for a city to construct and
own the roadbed itself and permit its operation by
private enterprise, under the direction of the city, but
that time is not yet at hand they think.
They note another very strong objection to G overn­
ment ownership in the case of the street railways. For
a period of five or six years the street railway systems
have been in a state of transition.
Millions upon
millions of dollars have been expended in devising
improved methods of transit. The whole period has
of necessity been a continuous series of experiments,
seme of which have proved successful, while a great
many others have resulted in failure.
A municipality
should not be subjected to experimental ventures of
this kind. Even now it cannot be asserted that the
new system of motive power is an unqualified success,
and that it may not be quickly superseded by another
form of power. Some assert that electricity will have
to give way to an engine to be operated by compressed
air. Should that be the case, many millions now in
vested in street railway appliances would be rendt-re 1
practically valueless.
The Committee thus reach the conclusion that under
all the conditions and sircumstances the ownership and
operation of street railways by the municipal authori
ties is quite impracticable at the present time. Per­
haps the best part of their argument is contained in
the closing statement, where they say that as an ab­
stract proposition they believe that no government,
either National, State or municipal, should emba k in
a business that can be as well conducted by private en­
terprise “ The reverse of this proposition, carried out
to a logical conclusion, would put all business enter­
prises under governmental management and control,
and leave no citizen any hope, ambition or aspiration
beyond that of seeking an official position that should
afford a meagre existence.”
1 his states the case against givernment ownership
in a clear and emphatic manner, and it also defiues
the limits within which the functions of government
should be confined. It is in affect a reaffirmation of
the time-honored doctrine that that government is
best which governs least. It is pleasing to think that
amid all the socialistic and communistic utterances
with which the public have been flooded in recent
years, the disposition still exists to hold fast to the old
moorings. Particularly gratifying is it that the pro­
nouncement has come from a legislative committee of
our own State, and that this committee has taken a
8traightforw ir 1 and unequivocal stand on the question.

QUEEN’ S SPEECH— A MESSAGE OF
PEA OE.

The speech from the British throne is always one o f
the features of the year. It is especially so in times o f
general political excitement. It was very natural that
the Queen’s speech at the opening of Parliament in 1896
should be awaited with a more than usual amount o f
interest. The year that had passed away had been
characterized by many and by some dangerous peculi­
arities. In one direction war had been conducted on
a large scale. Generally the friendly relations, which
give a common purpose to the great Powers and which
tend to the preservation of the peace, had been loos­
ened. Great Britain herself had made a discovery— a
discovery almost, if not entirely, unique in her his­
tory— that she was strangely isolated from the sympa­
thy of the nations. In such circumstances, we repeat,
importance naturally attached to the speech from the
throne.
It is not unfair, we think, to say that seldom ha3 a
Queen’ s speech been in more striking contrast to the
general tone of outside public sentiment. There were
questions East, questions West, questions North and
questions South— the Venezuelan question touching
ourselves, the Transvaal affair touching popular senti­
ment and sympathy everywhere, and besides other knotty
difficulties the question of the Orient near and far— all o f
them more or less serious. A warlike growl from the
British lion would not have been a surprise. So far from
there being a growl the speech from the throne was
eminently pacific. N othing could have been more
satisfactory or in better taste than the reference to tbe
Venezuelan question: ‘ ‘ The Government of the
United States has expressed a wish to co operate in
the termination of the differences which have existed
for many years between my Government and the Re­
public of Venezuela upon the question of the bound­
ary between that country and the colony of British
Guiana. I have expressed my sympathy with the
desire to come to an equitable arrangement, and trust
that further negotiations will lead to a satisfactory
settlement.”
Reference is made to the Transvaal affair in a sim i­
lar spirit. The origin and circumstances of the u n ­
fortunate disturbance are to be made the subject of
thorough investigation; and it is promised that
justice shall be meted out to the violators of law. Re­
gret is expressed at the condition of affairs in Turkey;
but while the assurance is given that by cornm m co n ­
sent pressure has bsen brought to bear upon the Sul­
tan to carry out promised reforms, there is a wise
reticence as to the causes which have hindered so f ir
unit d action of a more general kind and of a more
forceful character. W ith a similarly pea-.eful and
quieting end in view, the announcement is made that
boundarv questions have been settled in S mtheastern
Asia with France and in Northwestern Asia with
Russia, and that the brutal ruler of Ashantee has been
brought under civilized control. Tne speech is not
loDg, but it is full of metning, and considering the
circumstances by no means wanting in wisdom. The
waters of the great sea of politics were troubled. Thespeech has done much to pr duce a cslm. There is no
bullying, no bumptiousness, nothing to indicate other
than an earnest desire through amicable counsels toremove all causes of discord.
Tbe sentiments embodied in the speech were amply
sustained by the remarks made in both Houses of;

In the improvement the present year the large
grain movement, as compared with last year’ s very
small movement, played of course a very prominent
part, especially in tho case of the Western roads. In
addition the winter has been very mild, and the rail­
roads have been remarkably free from obstructions by
snow or ice or generally severe weather. Last year
the transportation interests, taking the country as a
whole, were also greatly favored in this respect
(the blizzard weather not coming until February), but
at least special sections and special roads, notably
some of the trans-Continental lines, suffered severely
from adverse weather conditions at that tim e ; this
year we have not had a single report of damage or
interruption of traffic or operations occasioned by the
weather.
As far as the increased crop movement is concerned,
that has extended to practically all the cereals. Much
has been said recently of farmers cribbing corn on a c­
count of the low pries instead of shipping it, and of
the disappointment to the railroads occasioned by that
fact. These reports have not been altogether without
foundation. Nevertheless the corn movement has been
vastly heavier the present year than last year. Thus at
the ten Western primary markets the receipts of corn
for the five weeks ending Feb. 1 reached 15,718,820
bushels in 1896, against only 8,860,294 bushels in the
corresponding period of 1895, though one or two of
the minor points sustained some loss in that cereal.
The wheat movement too, notwithstanding the poor
winter-wheat crop, shows a very large increase, the re
ceipts for the five weeks having been 12,746,989
bushels in 1896, against only 6,424,410 bushels
in 1895.
In this case, however, it is clear that
the bulk of the increase has been contributed by
the spring-wheat sections, for at Minneapolis the
receipts were, roughly, 7| million bushels in 1896
against only 2$ million bushels in 1895, and at Duluth
l i million bushels against only 1 million bushels. Be­
sides the gain in wheat and corn the movement of oats
and barley also considerably increased. Altogether,
the receipts of wheat, corn, oats, barley and rye in the

five weeks of 1896 were 44,376,683 bushels, against
only 24,614,095 bushels in 1895. Tnis is an addition
of 19$ million bushels, equal say to 440,000 tons of
freight. Below we give the details of th9 grain move­
ment in our usual form.

We have noted the very large increase in the wheat
receipts at Minneapolis. Taking the grain movement
as a whole, however, the point which has gained most
is, as usual, Chicago. For that point we have the fig­
ures for the even month, and these show receipts of 18£
million bushels for January 1896, against only 9 f million
bushels for January 1895. The subjoined table gives
the receipts at Chicago for January of the last six years.
It will be seen the present year’ s total at that point is
the largest of all the years, but that this follows
wholly from the exceptionally heavy movement o f oats,
the other cereals not com ing up to their best previous
figures.

When it has been stated that Chicago and Minneap­
olis are the points where most of the gain in the wheat
movement has occurred, it becomes evident what class
of roads has derived the greatest benefits from the
enlarged grain movement— namely the roads running
into Cnicago from the West and Northwest. A t the
same time it is well to remember that the live-stock
movement is also an important item of freight with
many of these roads, and that this was not equal to
that of a year ago. By the table above it will be seen that
the receipts of live hogs were only 707,692 head in
January 1896 against 878,115 head in January 1895.
Taking the live-stock movement as a whole, we find
that the deliveries were 25,496 car loads this year
against 26,882 car loads in January 1895, a loss of
1,386 car loads. Four roads, however, brought in en­
larged amounts of live stock, namely the Atchison,
which delivered 1,186 cars against 1,043 cars; the Chi­
cago Great Western, 875 cars against 723; the Milwau-

kee & Sc. Paul, 4,$93 cars against 4,184 cars, a u l the
Wisconsin Central, 200 cars against 122. The gain
in the case of the St. Paul is quite considerable,
and is interesting as showing that the great
improvement in that company’s eirninga has not fo l­
lowed entirely from the heavy shipments of spring
wheat.
Of course in the South the road3 have again had to
contend with a greatly diminished cotton movement
Cotton does not go forward in such large amounts in
January as in the months immediately preceding, but
the falling off from last year has nevertheless been of
very considerable proportions. The gross shipments
overland during the month reached only 119,780 bales,
against 188,173 bales in 1895, while the receipts at the
Southern outports were bat 494,091 bales, against
857,075 bale?, the loss on the two combined thus
being nearly 480,000 bales. Below we show the cotton
receipts in detail.

When arranged in groups the Northwestern group
very naturally makes by far the best exhibit of any.
Not only the great systems like the St. Paul and the
Great Northern, but also some of the smaller roads like
the BnrliDgton'Cedar Rapids & Northern have very note­
worthy gains. O f course many of these roads did very
poorly last year in Jannary, but from the fol­
lowing six-year comparison it will be seen that the
Great Northern, the Minneapolis & St. Louis and the
Cedar Rapids & Northern all report for the present y e a r
the largest Jannary earnings of any of the years given >

For the Southwestern group we are prepared for
just the opposite showing to that of the Northwestern;
yet in the aggregate the following 8 roads oirned more
in 1896 than in 1895. Furthermore, while the Mis­
souri Kansas & Texas, the St. Louis Southwestern and
the Texas & Pacific all reported last year the best
January earnings on records, only the last of these has
any considerable decrease the present year, while the
Kansas & Texas (which had been reporting heavy losses
in previous months) actual! / ba3 a further increase.

The Southern group mtkes aa even bitter exhibit
than the Southwestern in face of the small cotton
movement. A few minor roads have sustained small
losses, but among the follow ing there is not a road
that has fallen behind, while the Chesapeake & Ohio
and the Norfolk & Western, both having a heavy coal
traffic, have excelled their bast previons records.

In view of these various adverse influences— the loss
on the cotton traffic, the failing off in the live-stock
and the fact that onr industries were in a qui­
escent st3te because of the depressing influences noted
above— the great improvement recorded for the month
by the roads as a whole, as shown by the increase of
13,732,448 noted above, is particularly striking.
It is
almost superfluous to say that the largest gains appear
in the case of the roads which have derived the most
advantage from the heavy grain movement, but it
is really surprising how many roads there are which
are distinguished in that way and from what widely
different sections the gains come. Taking only the
roads which have enlarged their earnings 9100,000 or
over, the Milwaukee & St. Paul has 1435,244 increase,
the New York Central 1327,257, the Canadian
Pacific 1304,984, the Great Northern #230,543,
the Illinois Central #196,276, the Missouri Pa­
cific #163,000, the Northern Pacific #153,756, the
Chesapeake & Ohio #143,969, the Norfolk & Western
#122,793, the Burlington Cedar Hapids & Northern
1112,995 and the Chicago Great Western $111,131.
This embraces Northwestern roads, Siuth western road?,
Pacific roads, Southern road?, Middle Western roads
and Bastern trunk lines— from which one gets an idea
of the general nature of the improvement. In the fol­
lowing we show all changes, among the roads contribu­
ting returns, above #30,000— both gains and losses.
It will be seen that there are only three of these latter,
two boiog Southwestern roads, namely the Interna­
tional & Great Northern and the Texas & Pacific, which
have suffered from the smaller cotton movement, and
the third being the Brooklyn Elevated road, whose
earnings last year bad been heavily added to by the
strike on the surface roads.

In the M d lie and Middle Western group the returns
are perhaps more irregular than anywhere else. Tnis
follows from tae fact that on account of the poor
wiater-wheat yield last season and the slow movement
thus far of the Dev corn crop, the grain traffic fell off
in several iastaicss. II iwever, while nine of the roads
in this group repsrt d;crea3es, no less than 35 (outside
in both cases of the roids included in the trunk line
groip) have increases. I i the following the eompariso i with previous years is on the whole very good.
Partisularly it should be noted that for no less taan 7
of the roads the 1896 earnings are in excess of those
of any previous year.

TEE GOVERNMENT BOND SALE.
A 3 stated in our Financial Sitnation last week,
Secretary Carlisle on Friday the 7th was able to
make a preliminary announcement regarding the suc­
cessful bidders under the recent subscription to the
100-milIion-dollar loan. The list of the bidders, how­
ever, was not published until the next day, and it shows
a slight change in the amount awarded to J. P. Morgan
& Co. and those associated with them, so that that firm
gets only $33,179,250 of bonds, or $32,100 less than by
the original announcement. There were altogether
731 separate successful bidders, and to each of them
the following circular was mailed Saturday night
February 8.

$4,495,369 88 on Friday the 14th, making $37,733,991 95 for the week at the Sub Treasury here. It is;

statement before undertaking to give as a matter of
record the detailed 'Rat of the bidders. It appears
that the Government will receive altogether $111,378,830 97 as the result of the sale, thus making the aver­
age price 111*3783. The following shows the amonnt
of the bonds to bo paid for at each of lha sub-treasnriey, according to a statement compiled under the
direction of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Oar

The hop; that, all political difficulties will be arnioably set­
tled is growing here, but there is el ill much nervousness. The
intelligence from the United Stabs seems to show that
thoughtful people are making their influence felt Rod that the
Jingo party is losing ground. In this country everyone,with­
out distinction o f party or class, is disposed to do everything
that can reasonably be expected of us to maintain good rela­
tions with our kinsmen across the Atlantic.
in South Africa, too, matters Be- in to be settling down.
Some of the mine owners indeed have been threatening to
atop thfir works and thereby throw large cumbers of people
out of employment. President Kt(I*, r has issued a.procla­
mation which is variously interpreted here. Undoubtedly it
is misterful and dictatorial in tone, but in substance it seems
to come to this—that the Government will d o nil it can by

THE CHRONICLE.

a better understanding and to impress upon the German
Emperor the injury done to them byj the mere possibility of
estranging England.
There remains, however, much uneasiness respecting
Turkey. Rumors have been circulating for the past fortnight
that an offensive and defensive alliance had been concluded
between Russia and Turkey. Both governments have con­
tradicted the rumors ; yet everybody believes that some kind
of understanding has been arrived at, and that naturally
greatly disquiets Austria-Hungary. There is also a fear that
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria may be deposed. He is un­
doubtedly in a difficult position. His subjects expect the
voung Prince Boris to be christened in the Orthodox faith,
while the Pope and Prince Ferdinand’s family are doiog their
best to prevent that. There are fears likewise of an outbreak
in Macedonia as soon as the snows melt. It is not surprising,
therefore, that confidence is reviving very slowly.
Money remains as cheap and abundant as ever and rates
are quite nominal. The Bank of England now holds in gold
over
millions sterling, its reserve is very nearly 40 mil­
lions sterling, and its total deposits are but little under 68
millions sterling.
The silver market is quiet. There is no eagerness to sell
and there is just as little to buy. Not much progress is being
made in the negotiations for a new Chinese loan, and what
Japan will do with the money standing to her credit in the
Bank of England is not yet known. Meanwhile the India
Council continues to sell its drafts well. On Wednesday it
disposed^ of the whole 50 lakhs offered at very nearlyly Is. 2d.
per rupee, and the applications were for nine times the
amount offered. Rates of interest and discount continued very
easy in India and trade is quiet. It is hoped that the new
cotton duties will have a good effect. The duties on yarns
are repealed, while an import duty and an excise duty of
per cent upon all manufactured cloth is substituted.
The fortnightly settlement on the Stock Exchange began
on Monday morning and ended on Thursday evening. As
was expected, there was found to be hardly aDy bull account
open, and though bears have been closing for some weeks
there is still a considerable bear account. Rates, therefore,
were exceedingly low. For the time being business is almost
confined to the best classes of securities. Consols have been
over 108 more than once this week. Colonial securities are
advancing, and British railway stocks have risen greatly.
The public is still holding aloof from United States securities
of every kind. A number of professional operators buy and
sell every now and then, but they are very few. Continental
securities are equally neglected, and there is exceedingly
little doiDg in either South African or West Australian gold
shares. The general feeling is that prices in both depart­
ments are low and that if the political horizon clears there
will be again a very marked rise. But while politics remain
unsettled there is no disposition to incur risks.
There is a fair investment business going on in Argentine
and Chilian securities, but other South and Central American
securities are neglected. The Chilian Government was au­
thorized a little while ago to raise a loan of 6 millions'sterling,
but it does not consider the time opportune, and therefore it
has placed through the Messrs. Rothschild here Treasury bills
amounting to 2 millions sterling and bearing 4% per cent
interest. The bills will be redeemed out of the proceeds of
the authorized loan.
In spite of all the political anxieties trade is steadily improv­
ing. The first series of wool auctions of the new year ended on
Thursday evening and the market continued strong to the
very end. There was an advance in prices compared with
December of from 5 to
per cent. The buying was chiefly
on home account and American, but there was fair purchas­
ing also on French and German account. The cotton market
is likewise improving, and strong hopes are entertained in the
iron and coal trades that better times are coming.
The shipbuilding strike is at last happily ended, and the
shipbuilding programme is such that the orders now placed or
about to be placed will keep all the yards employed for fully
two years. The Government is about to give very large orders,
and it is understood that considerable orders will be given by
Japan and other foreign countries, while the great commercial
companies are likewise intending to build a number of new
vessels. Sheffield is very active likewise on armor plates.
The railway traffic returns continue wonderfully good.
One great company shows for the first four weeks of the new

fVoL. L X II.

year an increase of as much of £65,000, and proportionately
other companies are doing nearly as well. The company in
question serves mainly a great coal and iron district. The
railway dividends so far announced show considerable in­
creases compared with twelve months ago. The Great East­
ern, for example, distributes 4 per cent against '1%, per cent
twelve months ago ; the South Western 1% per cent against
7J4; the Brighton 8}4 against 7 % ; the Lancashire & York­
shire 5% against 4%. and the Great Northern 4% against 4.

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—Financial
operations in connection with the new Government loan have
been the most prominent feature of the week in W all Street.
Sales of United States bonds at the Board aggregate over
§3,300.000 and sales over the counter swell this amount to
much larger figures.
The payment* of gold into the New York Sab-Treasury on
account of the bonds amount during the week to about
$37,733.901. and it is estimated that the Treasury gold hold­
ings will reach over $100,000,000 by Saturday night.
There is evidently an increasing sentiment, especially in
diplomatic circles, on both hides of the Atlantic in favor of
an early and amicable settlement of the Venezuelan contro­
versy. ihe knowledge of this fact and the belief that it will
be accomplished, together with the more favorable condition
o f the Government treasury resulting from the bond issue,
have stimulated a demand for American securities in the
London market. Wall Street has felt the influence o f this
demand, and reflects it in increasing activity and higher
prices for bonds and stocks.
The stock market to-day has not maintained the buoyancy
rhich generally prevailed through the week. It has been
insteady and closes in most cases fractionally lower than
the opening.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2>.j' to 7 per
cent. To-day's rates on call were 3$£ to 3 per cent. Prime
commercial paper Is quoted at 6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed a decrease in bullion o f £483,284, and the percent­
age of reserve to liabilities was 83*40 thi * week and last
week; the discount rate remains unchanged at 2 per cant.
The Bank o f France show* au increase o f 8,833,000 francs in
gold and 273 ,000 francs in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of Feb. 8 showed an increase in the reserve held of $1,140,200
and a surplus over the required reserve o f $40,182,423, against
188,623,400 the previous week.

There has been more activity in the railway bond market
this week. Prices have been firm and in many cases are
higher. Reading and Atchison issues have been most con­
spicuous for activity, and the Atchisons, Col. Midland Is,
Rio Grande Western, San A. & A. Pass and Mobile & Ohio
bonds have advanced an average o f about 1 point. A demand
for L, N. A. & Ch. gen. rnort. 4s has caused an advance
o f 2< j per cent. New York 8us. & West. gen. mort. bonds
have moved up about 2 per cent on limited sales. The Read­
ings have been weak. Some activity is also noted in Chen. &
Ohio, Ft. Worth & I). City, Mo. Kan. & Texas, Nor. Pacific,
Ore. Short Line, Southern Ry., Texas & Pacific, Central of
N. J., Den. & Rio Grande, Union Pacific, St. Louis South­
western. Wabash and West Shore bonds, with prices gener­
ally steady.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Slocks.—Except some reces­
sion on Tuesday and to-day, caused chiefly by profit-taking
salt.-, prices in the stock market have advanced through tho
week, and in many cases have reached the highest quotations
made since the December panic. Buying for foreign account
has been a prominent factor in the movement, and railway
stocks with an international market have been conspicuous.
An easier money market has encouraged some buying for
the long account.
The most noteworthy advances, averaging over 2 per cent,
were made by Louisville & Nashville. St. Paul, Burling­
ton & Quincy, Mo. Kan. & Texas preferred and Manhattan
Elevated, but a part o f this has been lost to-day. The
coal stocks have been unsteady. Central of N. J. sold
at 104 on Tuesday, at lOS on Thursday and closes at
Delaware & Hudson and Lackawanna have been
weak on limited sales. On various rumors, mostly without
foundation, Manhattan Elevated advanced to 113*^ 0,1 Tues­
day, a gain of 7 points from the closing price last week, Mo.
Pacific has been unusually active at prices ranging from 23
to 255^. and closes at 2*34$. Southern Railway preferred has
been steady, Baltimore & Ohio was offered on Tuesday,
when there were no buying orders for the stock, and declined
to 32; hut has since recovered.
^The industrial list has been subject to manipulation. Ain.
Tobacco had gained 8JjJ per cent on Tuesday, when it sold at
88W. Chicago Gas closes at B7>4 . against 03 last week. Gen­
eral Electric, had scored a net gain of 3'4 points in the early
part of tho week, when it sold at 3214 . Distilling, Tenn.
O. , t. & Ry., Western Union and U. 8 . Leather preferred

1898 amounted to.$172,979 43, and if this am ouit be deducted
from the deficit of $338,443, it shows the aatual deficit in

$93,483, The average rate received for Mexican dollars was
in 189) 52 93 cents, against ol'»7 cents in 1391, an increase of

Balance Sheet.—The reports of this company are seriously
defective in that they contain no balance sheet. We, there­
fore, append the balance sheet for June 30, 1894, furnish d to
the Inter-State Commerce Commission. This balance sheet
however, does not include the Consolidated RR. of Vermont
which his 87,000,000 of bonds outstanding, and wliis- capital
stock is largely or wholly controlled; nor doss it include the
Central Vermont mortgage of 1892, because the bonds so far
as executed were merely pledged for loans. The funded debt
represents the equipment bonds of 1893.

Huntingdon & Broad Top Jlountiia Bit. & Coal Co.
( Report for the year ending Die. SI, 1895.)
There were moved ia 1895 a total tonnage of 2,839,066 tans,
compared with that of 2.391.276 tons for 1891, showing an in­
crease for the year 1895 of 537,79) tons. The item zed ton­
nage for 1895 is as follows :
Coal. 2.413 820 tons ; coke, 56,137 tons ; ore and limestone,
116,335 t o m ; pig metal and other iron, 79,652 tons; miscel­
laneous, 233,122 tons.
The gain for the year in coal was 333,019 tons. This is
particularly gratifying. The indmtries on the line of the
road have shown a condition of mnch greater prosperity dur­
ing the last six months than for some time back.
The rates on Cumberland and West Virginia coal to
tidewater points have been extremely low, and it has
only been by the strictest economy in movement, by
the employment of powerful mitive power, and the good
condition of the roadbed and tracks, together with the
very large amount of tonnage moved, that the business
has been at all lucrative. The condition of your prop­
erty has been kept up in every particular. There have oeen
laid during the year 185 820 224) tons of new 70-pound steel
rails, and 24,039 new cross-ties have been put in. Arrange­
ments nave been made to fund all the outstanding car trust
certificates into one car trust.
Results for four years have been as follows :

CReport fo r the year ending December 31, 1895. J
President J. W. Gates, under date of Feb. 12, 1896, says in
the report:
Prices.—Very low prices continued until about the m iddle o f May,
during which period we ran at an absolute loss. A bout June 1 prices
began to advance rapidly, and tbe advance culm inated about the 15th
o f October, from which time until Dec. 31 the market declined m ore
rapidly than it had advanced Since then, how ever, there has been an
advance in the price o f billets and Bessemer pig iron o f about $2 p er
ton.
Operatiyns.—D aring the year we m u le l ,001,000 tons p ig iron and
sniegeleisen—the largest output in the history o f the com pany. W e
started practically four new works during the year—-our open
hearth furnaces at South Chicago, our plate mill at South C hicago, our
Union works in the city o f Chic igo (which h id lain idle since 1892)
and our sheet mill at Hammond. lad. The cost o f starting all these
works was quite large. We em ployed au average of 10,382 m en daily
and paid in wages and salaries $^‘,533,796. Our tonnage o f raw m a ­
terials received was 4.355,243 tons. Tons of finished product shipped,
875,69*. Number o f cars o f material handled, 153,9 L4. We paid out
in freights, $6,337,440. We h ive at the present time seventeen f u r ­
naces iu blast, and are making approxim ately 4,000 tons of iron per
day, and have capacity enough to finish this entire product p ra ctic­
ally without selling a ton o f pig iron.
Financial —Am ong our cash assets January 1 ,1 8 9 5 , we had U. S.
bonds (at cost) and call and short time loans on approved securities,
$1,334,713, applicable to new construction during the year 1895.
We have expended in new construction $1,416,038. We have also spent
$440,000 in “ M aintenance” and “ Special Maintenance ” in p u ttin g
our plants iu first-class condition, all of w hich was charged to profit
and loss.

the right of reorganization commute** to exclude from the

hut on his return, and prior to the foreclosure sale, he ten­
dered his stock to the committee. Subsequently, and before

“ 1. The committee and George H Earle, Jr., as its Chair­
man, in view of the course of the procedure in other case#,
had authority to extend the time allowed to the complainant
within « hich to accept.
“ 2 Forfeiture* ate not looked upon with favor, and under

Speculation in cotton for future d e liv e r y at thi i market
has been interrupted by a holiday, but at the best war slow
and careful. Consumers at home and abroad purchase with
moderation and there appears an imiipp tsitiou to invest in
certificates for either the old or new crop months. Saturday’s
deal was devoted malnlv to liquidating small engagem ents
and the market was unimportant, prices losing 2 <j3 points
and recovering b fore the close. During Monday 7ig8 points
were 1 « t in eoostqu-mce o f general apathy on the bull side
and a slight pressure to realize upon ‘ ’lon g" holdings. The
European advices were poor, and the crop m ovem ent re­
corded for the day and estimated for the week somewhat
in excess o f previous calculations,
Tuesday opened with
a decline o f 4<§3 points under evidence o f increased desire t<>
sell at the South, but the pressure was not severe, and a little
coverin g by local shorts recovered a portion o f the loss
Wednesday was observed as a holiday. Yesterd «y a renew ed
effort to liquidate long holdings and pressure to sell against
cotton held at the Strath forced further decline o f 10 points
subsequently slightly mod Hied by covering. To-day the
opening was a few points higher, but demand soon fatted and
cost settled back again, closing tame. Cotton on the »pH
offered more freely at lower rates without attracting much
dem and; quoted at SlgC .for middling uplands.
The total silea for forward delivery for the week are 613,000
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this wee k
93d bales, including 103 for export, 333 for consum ption ,

’ From N ew England mill points direct.

The value of the Hew Y ork exports fo r the year has
been $1,230,726 in 1898 against $994,615 in 1895,
The feature o f the week in staple cottons has been the re­
ductions in prices of from 3^ to %a. per yard in m edium and
fine grade bleached goods. The first break was made in Lons­
dale and Fruit of the L oom 4-4 to 7% c,, together with H ope
and Blackstone to 6?£c., and these were follow ed b y num er­
ous other tickets. An improved demand has resulted but
still buying has not been active. Brow n sheetings and drills
have shown little variation, the tendency is still in favor of
buyers, and actual business o f but moderate dimensions.
Brown drills and osnaburgs continue slow and irregular.
Denims are weak with a poor demand. Ticks and other
coarse colored cottons in favor of buyers. Kid-finished cam ­
brics inactive and easy. W ide sheetings slow. The market
for prints has broken all around this week, declines of %c,..
being quoted in standard makes of farcies, indigo blues,,
shirtings, etc., w ith J4 c. declines in low-grade prints, and at
the lower prices a fair business has been done. Fine special­
ties steady. There has been no im provement in the demand
for ginghams and sellers are easy to deal with. Prints have
ruled steady at %%o. lor extras, with indifferent demand.
Odds quietly firm.

The week opened with expectations o f a marked improve­
ment in the volume of general business in both cotton and w ool­
01
en goods a rd closes with these realized in but a very moderate
degree. The weather has been an adverse influence and busi­
ness has been broken in upon by the pretty general observ­
ance of the new holiday (Lincoln’s Birthday) on Wednesday,
whilst the market for commercial paper, although easier than
of late, is still considerably above normal and not yet low
enough to he conducive to free operations. The week has
been marked by some important open reductions in the prices,
Buch as the long-expected revisions in leading makes of
bleached cottons and the more or less unlooked for reductions
in the prices of prints. These reductions have been follow ed
by orders on a somewhat larger scale than of late, but in
other directions business has not materially developed. At
the same time the general undertone in cotton goods shows
rather more assurance in some quarters, based on the current
low range o f prices and indications o f depletion o f jobbers’
slocks in leading lines of staple goods. There is an unsettled
market for men’s-wear woolens and worsteds, business up to
the present having proved disappointing in the aggregate.
W OOLEN G o o d s .-—The market for clay worsteds is in a dis­
organized condition, prices proving decidedly weak and with
new business lees than the volume of cancellations coming
forward. The influence of this is felt in other directions in
tOH<l dCi
the unsettling of buyers’ ideas of the market, and general

The original bonds of this county were issued in 1894 and
1885, partly to cover a floating indebtedness and partly to
take up railwav-aid bonds, amounting in all to $371,500. Of
this amount $17,000 were redeemed by sinking fund tax levy
of 1891, with a balance now in said fund to redeem $4,500,
leaving the net bonded indebtedness $350,000 to be refunded.
There has never been default made in payment of interest on
any of the afore-mentioned bonds but interest has always
been promptly paid. The proceeds of the sale of the refund­
ing bonds will be used solely to redeem the present outstand­
ing bonds, and the only reason for this issue is to reduce the
interest which is called for by the bonds now outstanding.
The floating indebtedness of the county, amounting to
$50,000, was created by the building of the Fourth Street
Viaduct Bridge in 1893 —an emergency—for which no previ­
ous appropriation had been made. The tax levy for 1895 will
pay about one-third of this amount, the balance to be paid by
