We present below our usual detailed figures for the previous week, covering the returns for the period ending with Saturday noon, February 9, and the results for the corresponding week in 1900, 1899 and 1898 are also given. In comparison with the preceding week there Is an increase In the aggregate exchanges of one hundred and thirty-six million dollars, the gain at New York being one hundred and forty millions. Contrasted with the week of 1900 the total for the whole country shows a gain of 32-2 per cent. Compared with the week of 1899 the current returns record an increase of 33-3 per cent, and the excess over 189S is 90-6 per cent. Outside of New York the increase over 1900 is 6-1 per cent. The excess over 1899 reaches 11 "0 per cent, and making cpmparison with 1898 the gain is seen to be 39-8 p. o. full details of clearings for St. Paul Denver Joseph Des Moines St. Davenport..

The enormous increase of Customs revenue during the decade after 1880 a result, as is now well understood, of England's urgent search for an export market in that period brought the surplus revenue well above the remarkable sum of $100,000,000 per annum. The public debt redeemable on call was wholly ex- — — tinguished, and to prevent the Treasury from absorbing into its own vaults the greater part of the domestic circulation, the only recourse left was to bid whatever premium would The available bonds being in the main in outstanding bonds at buy them.

Estimating last December for the next fiscal year, to which the pending tax amendments will apply, but reckoning on the basis of existing laws, Secretary only $26,358,000 Gage figured out a surplus —this of again without charging up payments on the sinking fund. As chance of a change in revenue condithat need be said is that Customs revenue is dependent on the volume of import trade, and that the tendency of that trade under present conditions is to contract rather than expand, without charging up sinking fund expenditure. The margin for change on such a reckoning, it will be for the tions, all those pledged as collateral for national bank circula- seen, is pretty small.

The history of the experiment in revenue revision which followed this period is well known. It pro- vided a lesson in Governmant finance which no administration or Congress in its senses is likely ever to On the one hand a Ways and Means Comforget. mittee struck at the sources of revenue; on the other the appropriation committees heaped up expenditure an inexhaustible fund were at hand on which to draw. Neither committee paid attention to the work of the other, and the perfectly natural consequence of such haphazard legislation was that a su rplus revenue of $105,000,000 in 1889 was replaced exactly Probably five years later by a deficit of $69,000,000. no one has forgotten the consequences which that deficit brought in its train. We have recalled these episodes in our previous financial history because, in our judgment, they ought to be very steadfastly kept in mind while plans for the reduction of the war taxes of 1898 are under consideration. The machinery by which revenue and expenditure are fixed is the same as it was in 1890, as if be smaller. And so it may be. The expenditures asked for for the fiscal year 1903 exceed those actually made last year by the handsome sum of 1100,000,000. But on the other hand it should be observed that the similar estimate made for 1900, a year before-hand, exceeded by only ten million dollars the actual outlay of the year. Nor does there appear to be any very striking tendency in this Congress towards economy. actual outlay will There is this much of advantage over recent revenue reduction bills in the measure now before Congress; that it affects only internal taxes, and hence is not subject to such violent over-estimates or underestimates as are inevitable in revision of Customs revenue. The wholesale blunders which marked the revenue legislation of 1890 and 1894 will therefore hardly be repeated. Moreover, no economic theory affects the method of tax revision, as was the case in the two years named. It has been honestly recognized that the problem presented was to take off as many of the so-called war taxes as could be safely spared, to take off first those which were most burdensome, and in particular to repeal such taxes as had and that is as much as to say that it is very cumbrous turned out to be annoying without being largely proand awkward. There is now, as there was a decade ductive.

It is ten millions more than the figure suggested last December by Secretary Gage. A halt in the heaping-up of public surplus is eminently desirable; such a movement might become very dangerous in the present position of the financial markets; but the other extreme is equally to be condensed by averaging the annual yield every five years, beginning with 1851-55, and concluding with the latest similar cycle 1896-1900. We have also appended corresponding averages of the values of the product in sterling and dollars to promote ease in following the changes.

As a matter of history, months. the decrease in the world's product is a noteworthy fact, because it is the first substantial set-back in the yield of gold since 1881; at the same time, the out- come is in no manner an enigma, but is easily accounted for, and will prove only a temporary check.

We have said above that the gold production has shown no material decline since 1881 until in 1900. It will be noticed below that we have changed the form of presenting the detailed general statement of the world's output of that metal. As now given, the yield of the mines in each of the principal producing countries is set out separately in ounces, while the totals are not only exhibited in ounces, but also in sterling and dollar values. In this manner the character of all the variations in output from jear to year are made more clearly observable.

This is the reasonable presump- vaal mines are because the effect of the full stoppage in the Transvaal is shown in the 1900 results, and the reasonable expectation is that the product in at least the United States and Canada will be progressive.

The chief answer is that the needs for domestic use as currency and for internagreatly increased more freely than formerly, but they are drawing large quantities of products from the remotest parts of the earth and sending supplies of their own make in re- turn to the whole world of nations; and all this, we repeat, is being done to an extent never before any- where nearly equaled. But besides this expansion in the needs for gold in promoting international commerce, there is a de- mand for domestic currency purposes which has become quite general and has had a rapid growth for the last twenty years. Almost all the nations in the world are now on a gold basis or trying to get there, and a number are hoarding gold for the purpose. That is one way in which the annual product is being absorbed. Another more important cumulating agency new basis. is the increased activity in the demand for supplies by the countries already on a Each is enlarging its gold stock to meet the re- quirements of its internal currency. For illustratration, Great Britain has in the last three years imported £25,923,769, or over $125,000,000, of gold more than it has exported, and not only has all that djjfference gone into domestic use but the stock in the Bank of England has also lost from the same cause £2,600,000— the stock on the 3d of January 1901 being by that amount less than it was Jan. 5 1898. The Bank of France shows the same tendency to increase its gold holdings and issue notes on the same. Even in the last year its stock of gold has swollen from £74,612,258 January 4 1900 to £93,314,213 January 3 1901, showing an absorption of £18,701,955, or about 94 million dollars in the twelve months. It is obvious that this gain could hardly have been acquired during 1900 by the Bank of France without causing disturbance elsewhere in Europe had not Russia let loose during the same period a considerable portion of her hoardings; the extent of this loss by Russia is disclosed by the fact that the gold in the Bank of Russia was reported January 4 1900 at £86,909,000 and on the 3d of January 1901 at £73,739,000, showing a decrease of about 6G million dollars. We need not enlarge upon the additions to the gold holdings in the United States which have in late years been found necessary for increasing the stability of its currency. That is a drain which is by no means satisfied. Whenever this country shall adopt an automatic paper-money system, and it is sure to be an event of the future, the domestic needs of our wide land will further and very materially add to the permanent stock of that metal. are the chief causes for the insuf- annual new supply of gold to meet current wants. They might all be summed up by saying that modern commerce, domestic and international, has shaped itself so that the work in progress calls for an increasing instead of a decreasing quantity. Of course, through a forced contraction of business operations, these demands could be minimized, and will be lessened if the strain continues; how far that suppression in business transactions is being enforced to-day we will not undertake to determine. ficiency in the and are increasing. Gold is often spoken of as if it had very little active work to do other than to meet now and then an international demand to settle balances between nations. Such statements belittle its offices. Paying international balances is of course one of its duties. That is and always has been, and of necessity must always be, an imperative function. One Moreover, the requirements for that purpose have during the last quarter of a century materially enlarged. This we may assume is a development which naturally follows the growth in the quantity and extent of the transactions the external commerce includes. It is not only true that the leading nations are interchanging commodities between themselves [Vol. LXXII. fact is and that certain, quieter than it is European trade that is was a year ago, and the presumption is is one among the that the shortened gold supply causes for the quieter markets. Below we give our general table of gold production in the world, adding returns for 1900, so far as we have obtained them, with figures for all other producers made up more or less from estimates. In the new form we have adopted for this general compilation the reader has a separate statement (in ounces) for the output of each of the following sources of supply the United States, Australia, Africa, Russia, Canada and Mexico. These are the leading producers, and the smaller ones are grouped in a single total. Following the aggregate in ounces are the total values each year in pounds sterling and dollars. The product for the Transvaal has been received by cable and was made up for us by the best authorities. It is given at 479,489 gross ounces, to which is added the results in the other mining sections of Africa, which are mostly official. A foot-note directs the reader to the volume and page of the CnKONiCLE where can be found the annual returns for the years from 1881 to 1871 and again those from 1871 to 1851.

Februabt The THE CHfiONlCLE. 16, 1901.1 chief features of interest the foregoing reveals are (1) the diligence with which gold-mfining has been pushed in recent years, (3) the great success these and the decided set-back which has overtaken this industry in 1900. The setback is noteworthy not alone because of the stoppage labors have met' with, (3) in the Transvaal, but, as already suggested, because is it elsewhere large so —Australia and Mexico decreases and also — 315 valued at $29,500,000, or an increase over the preceding year of 170,142 ounces or $3,517,200. It is furthermore worthy of note that its product for 1900 was but little less than that of Westralia. The decided growth anticipated in California has failed to be realized, the 1900 out-turn having been 39,697 ounces smaller than the 1899 product. Alaska, from whose mines but 122,137 ounces were secured in 1898, contributed 375,922 ounces in 1900 ; during the same period the South Dakota product rose from 275,723 ounces to 320,130 ounces, Utah's from 110,556 ounces to 205,000 ounces, Arizona's from 119,249 ounces to 169,312 ounces, Idaho's from 83,055 ounces to 100,000 being found in the column of because of the suggestiveness of the concurrent deHad it not been for the cline in European trade. continued and decided growth in the United States and Canada, the check in production at so many points would have developed into a more strained situa- ounces, Oregon's from 50,966 ounces|to 83,000 ounces, tion.

United States. — Contrary to early expectations, the United States has again assumed the foremost position among the gold producing countries of the world a position it relinquished to Africa in 1897, — being subsequently (in 1898) passed by Australia, through the phenomenal development in Westralia. The regained ascendency of the United States, however, is not so much due to an increased output from its mines as to the almost total suspension of operations in the Transvaal and a general reduction of the yield in the various Australasian colonies. At the same time the preliminary estimate of Mr. Geo. E. Roberts, Director of the Mint, indicates that there was a very satisfactory measure of growth in 1900. According to that estimate the aggregate production approximates 3,837,215 ounces valued at $79,322,281, against 3,437,210 ounces valued at $71,053,400 in 1899, and 3,118,398 ounces valued at $64,463,000 in Mr. Valentine, of Wells, Fargo & Co., in his annual statement just issued, places the product for 1900 at $75,756,173, which is equal to 1898. usual ounces; against $72,567,226, or 3,510,445 3,664,721 ounces, in 1899, and $66,486,202, or 3,216,275 ounces, This year's figures of Wells, Fargo & Co. it will be noticed are $3,500,000, or 172,494 ounces smaller than the Mint's preliminary estimate. Heretofore since 1893 Mr. Valentine's computations have run the other way— that is, have been from $1,500,000 in 1898. to $6,300,000 in excess of the Mint's total.

Rhodesia, however, which lies much to the north of the Transvaal and outside of the war zone, has suffered no interruption to operations, and the same is true of Madagascar, West Coast districts, etc, where further development is shown. There are no present indications that any such phenomenal results as the Band has furnished can be expected from the Rhodesian field, but a steady improvement in the yield is being shown. Through the opening up of new leads the product for 1900 rose to about 91,640 gross ounces as compared with 65,303 gross ounces in 1899, the greater part of the gain being furnished by the Globe & Phoenix mine, which during the five months it has been worked has given 24,778 gross ounces. West Coast districts have added but slightly to the 1899 output, but in Madagascar marked progress is making, although as yet the yield is small. The districts outside of the Rand have produced about 166,922 fine ounces, or 138,862 fine ounces less than in 1899.

Retrogression in gold production was the rule in all the Australasian colonies in 1900, and as a result that country has, as already stated, yielded up first position to the United States. New mines have been opened in most quarters, but the output therefrom has been more than offset by decreased returns from old workings. Westralia has suffered least in ratio of falling off, the 1900 product having reached 1,580,950 gross ounces, against 1,643,876 gross ounces in 1899. Surprisingly poor results are shown by some of the mines in that colony, the Lake View mines turning out but about 90,000 ounces, against over 250,000 ounces in 1899 and the Associated Gold Mines gave but 34,300 ounces, against 120,000 ounces. On the other hand such important properties as the Golden Horseshoe and Great Boulder Proprietary exhibit large gains. New South Wales records the most marked loss, its product having dropped to 345,650 gross ounces from 509,418 gross ounces in the previous year. Queensland reports only a very moderate decline in yield, the losses having been in great measure offset by better results in the Mount Morgan mines, from which over 20 per cent of the colony's product is secured. The yield of all the colonies in 1900 was 3,764,548 fine ounces, against 4,105,526 fine ounces in 1899 and 3,235,638 fine ounces in 1898. Below we give tables indicating the product of each colony, the first table in gross ounces and the second table in fine ounces. The figures are in a few cases in part estimated, but are no doubt close approximations. In obtaining the fine ounces 8 per cent has been deducted for base metal in each year since 1894, but for previous years the reduction is a trifle more, being estimated for each province on the basis of the official returns made to us. collectively tion in Africa.

It also gives a statement of the bonded debt of Rhode Island and its various municipalities. [From oar own oorrespondent.] London, Saturday, February 2, 1901. This being the day of the Queen's funeral, business is completely suspended, The banks, the Stock Exchange and indeed all the shops are closed, and throughout the week very little has been doing; nor is it likely that there will be much activitj' for some time to come. la the first place, the affairs of the London & Globa Finance Corporation have not yet been arranged. Tlie losses occasioned by its l9reak-down and the numerous failures it led to have seriously incon- venienced many members of the Stock Exchange, who have been able to pull through nevartheless, and have also incom- moded outside operators. Besides, there is great unoertsJnty as to how those people stand who bought and sold the shares recently brought out by the corporation for which as yet no special settlement has been obtained; and while the uncertainty lasts it will discourage much new buying or dealing in the Stock Exchange. There is a loss of confidence respecting the management of several of the West Australian mining companies, and indeed the loss of confidence extends in some cases even to their accounts. Then the American market for the time being has become quiet, and ttie market for British railway stocks is stagnant; for although in several cases the railway dividends are better than had been anticipated, the traffic returns just now are disappointing and are causing a fear that the improvement that was hoped for in the Year will not take place. Lastly, the new Government loan is put off from week to week. Yet nobody knows how soon it may be brought out, and everybody wishes to be prepared for its New issue. The final result of all is exceedingly little business upon the Stock Exchange. On the other hand, a more hopeful feeling is beginning to spring up. The general impression is that the guerilla warfare in South Africa is rapidly coming to an end, that those engaged in it are growing fewer and fewer every day, and that their supplies of every kind are rapidly falling. Moreover, the attitude of all foreign countries towards this country since the death of the Queen has made a very favorable impression; and above everything, the long stay of the German Emperor so as to be able to attend the Queen's funeral, his appointment as a British Field- Marshal, and the conferring upon his eldest son of a knighthood of the Garter have all made a deep impression. The general conviction both here and on the Contment is that an under- b21 standing has been arrived at between the two countries and that they will work cordially together, especially in the Far East, in the future. The hope is entertained at the same time that in the Far East, at all events, they will obtain the co-operation of the United States and Japan, and that thus the peace of the world is being secured. Upon the Contineot there is little more doing than here at home. The slow liquidation th^it has been going on in Germany and Belgium since midsummer is contioupd. It is now evident that all serious danger is at an end, however, and it is hoped that there will be a recovery in the course of the presrnt year. In Berlin there was a general expectation that the Imperial Bank would lower its rate of discount; but Still, money is growing abundant and it has not done so. cheap, and no doubt a reduction in the rate will take place before long. Trade is very quiet, the iron industry is very much depressed. There is no speculation; while money is now rapidly flawing back from the interior to Berlin. In France money is also growing very abundant, owing not only to the receipts of gold from New York, but also to the general return of money from the interior. The discount rate in the open market this week has been only about 2?8 P^r cent. There is little doing on the Paris Bourse; but French capitalists continue buying Argentine and Brazilian securities and West African gold mines, not, however, on a very great scale. German and Dutch capitalists are also buying Argentines and Brazilians to som3 extent. In RusThe banks are locked up. Trade is sia the crisis continues. greatly depressed, and everywhere there is a want of confidence in the future. There is much uncertainty yet respecting the money market. The Bank of England is gradually getting control of the outside market, and it is keeping its rate of discount at 5 per cent. In some quarters it was thought probable that the rate would be reduced this week, the more particularly as the Government is about to borrow; and furthermore, it is often urged that an effective 4 per cent rate would be just as powerful to give the Bank control as aa ineffdctive 5 per cent rate; but the directors have made no change, probably because of the vast investment in sterling bills and especially in Government bills by foreign bankers and institutions of all kinds. The French banks, insurance companies and railway companies are still taking these bills in very large numbers. France is by far the largest foreign holder; but almost all Continental countries are taking the bills; and as the holding of sterling bills is becoming so unusually large abroad, the directors of the Bank of England probably think that it is incumbent upon them to maintain high rates here. The large holdings of sterling bills by French institutions of all kinds is partly to make sure of teing able to obtain gold when required. Tae Bank of France need not if it pleases pay out gold, and very often it refuses to pay much of the metal; and consequeuUy all French institutions have for years been in the habit of holding a considerable amount of sterling bills. Just now the holdings are exceptionally large, partly because French investors have been selling South African gold shares on a large scale, and until quite recently they have been baying very little in this market, but mainly bdcause France has not bought as much raw material here as she has done in past years. Towards the end of 1899 woolen manufacturers and other great capitalists sent out agents to Australia to buy wool on a large scale. They did so, but only by running up the price of the raw material to an extravagant height. few months later the market broke down, and the losses to the French industry were very great. There were numerous failures, indeed. The industry has not as yet recovered from the consequences, and as a result France has bought very little wool in London. Lastly, American visitors to the Exhibition spent largely in Paris and the money is being drawn from London. In all these ways France has obtained an exceptional control over this market; but if the buying of Argentine and Brazilian securities goes on, the balance of indebtedness against us will be largely reduced; and if when the war ends South Alrican gold-mining shares are bought largely the balance of indebtedness may be entirely changed, Meanwhile, the fact that such a large amount of sterling bills is held on the Continent makes the market here extremely sensitive. The value of money at the same time is falling away in Paris, and consequently all the Freneh institutions continue buying sterling bills. Therefore, ttiere will be no gold taken to Paris for some time yet. Indeed, the Paris exchange upon London is rising rapidly. The India Council has this week sold its drafts fairly well. It offered for tender on Wednesday 70 lacs, and the applica- A tions amounted to 71 lacs. The whole amount offered was allotted at prices ranging from Is. 3 31-32i. to Is. 4 l-32d. per rupee. Later in the day a small amount was sold by special contract at Is. 4 l-32d. per rupee.

The Money Market and Financial Nitnation. —The records of the security markets for the week show widely fluctuating prices in many cases. This fact suggests that a considerable portion of current Wall Street operations is speculative in character, as no developments or changes in the general situation seem to warrant such fluctuations Free discussion of various combinations and consolidations has continued, notably that relating to the iron and steel plants, but we have heard of no new ones of import ance or other news that has directly affected the sentiment of the Street until to-day, when it was reported that New York Central will soon secure control of the Delaware Hudson property. Comment is made upon the favorable conditions prevailing in the transportation mdnstry, traffic being much less interfered with by storms than it has sometimes been at this season. The Governmeht statement of our foreign trade for the month of January, just issued, makes a very favorable showing. It indicates a considerable increase in our credit balance abroad, and suggests large possibilities for the future. The Bank of England's weekly statement shows a larger percentage of reserve to liabilities than that of last week or for a corresponding week in recent years, and reflects the easier money market conditions at that center. Although last Saturday's statement of the New York Associated Banks showed a decrease of nearly $5,000,000 in the surplus reserve, the local money market has been easy and rates steady. The open market rates for call loans on the Stock Exchage during the week on stock and bond collaterals have range(i from 11^ to 2 per cent. To-day's rates on call were 1% to 2 per cent.

The railway boncl market has been somewhat irregular in sympathy with the market for stocks, but relatively steady. Daily transactions averaged a little over $5,000,000 par value, against $8,000,000 last week, and were limited chiefly to low-priced issues. Of the latter a few were notably strong, including Central of Georgia 2d income, Colorado Midland 1st 3-4s, Green Bay Western debenture Bs, St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern unified and ref 4s and Peoria Eastern income 4s, the latter closing with a net gain of IJ^^ points. Wabash debenture Bs were again the most active bonds on the list, but lost a substantial part of the gain noted last week. San Antonio Aransas Pass 4s were also weak. & & . & — Stock and Bond Sales.

Boston Elerated Railway. ('Report for the year ending Sept. SO, 1900. Chairman William A. Gaston, under date of Dec. 31, says in substance: Leased Lines.— the usual increase of trafUo upon our leased lines has taken place and the year has generally been one of prosperity. We have adopted the nollcy of liberality in the building oi new lines of surface track at the public demand, even althougu the lines do not promise an immediate profitable return. In aooordanoe with Uxls J . THE CHRONICLE 33fi policy we have built and equipped some 35 and about . [Vol. LXXII. milCB of surface track la With the operation of the elevated lines there Is much hoi e thai the necessity for new surface oars and equipment will Jan. 27 Bof-tou. Net sales Otherincome materially diminish. Our accounts against our lessor company for the first two years of the lease have been amicably and satiDfactorily adjusted. Tue West End Street Railway Co. was authorized on July 25, 1900, by the Railroad GommissioD to issue 15-year 4 per cent bonds with which to pay our charges for the two years above mentioned. These bonds were sold and the proceeds, $2,020,517, were paid to us (see West End re- Addsurpluson Jan. por', V. 71, p. 1)65). Adjust, acots. of Nat. Elevated Structure.— Oa this date all the structure between Roxbury and Charlestown has been erected, except the connection at the northern teruniius of the subway and the eonneotlon at the southern end of the subway, which is being rapidly completed. Trains should be running over this i)ort1on of the elevated structure in May, 1901. The work on the loop from the corner of Washington ana Castle streets to the North Union Station via Harrison Ave., Beach St Atlantic Ave. and Commercial St is somewhat more delayed; but a considerable portion of the structure ou this line has been erected and the work Is now progressing with rapidity. All foundations tor piers are In and all work and equipment under contract. While it is believed that all requirements Imposed upon us by the statute of 1897 will be met before the time therein set has arrived, we have deemed It wise, in a spirit of caution, to ask the Legislature to extend that time six months. The character of the structure built cannot be to-day exceled. On Nov, 14, 1900, we were authorized by the Railroad Commissioners to build our structure over a route approved by the Board of Abiermen, over Washington St;., Roxbury, from the Bartlett Street stables, to TowDsend St. This structure, to- April. 1899, to Dec. 31, 1900. 85,241 Total net Cost and expenses Net to Dec. 31. 1900. $29,673,20t) $2^,758,4 48 26,919,396 $5'',961,205 $2,839,051 931,309 261, '02 $5,523,230 profits 27, & $50,766,615 194,689 1900 Prov. mills Total net profit Deduct— Preferred diviaena. of Nat. & Prov. mills, profits to outside stockholders oft" plant values Prop 45,437,975 $4,031,563 $1,400,000 $-',391,666 25,912 500,00' 25,912 1,OCO,000 $2,105,650 $2,105,650 Charged $5,523,280 , Balance Jan. , gether with the structure previously autUorized, will exceed the requirement of 7 miles of elevated structure under the Act of 1897.

I think, therefore, that it will be the policy of tne company to make gome extensions of its in England has been very satisfactory. The trade of 1899 increasad over that of 18i<8 by 10 per cent, and the trade of ISO J increased over that of 1899 by 40 per cent. The English company is now showing good earnings on its common stock, and will probably soon begin paying dividends on it. It would seem possible for the company to take the entire English trade in time. At the rate ot Increase we are now making, it will not take many years to accomplish that eud, unless our competitors change their methods. Our factory there Is now producing quite 40 per cent more goods than were consumed in the United States at the time of the organization of our company, twenty years ago. The English compan.v owns a majority of stock In two factories iujSouth Africa, one in Port Elizabeth, the other in Cape Town, which are also in successful operation. Other Factories.—The factory in Peru, In South America, is In successful and profitable operation. The factory In Glermany Isjiist starting. All of these fctctories will soon bi adding to ou- income. The increase of trade on the Pacific coast (with a possible export trade) will soon prompt our attention, and no doubt warrant the buiiaing of a factory there. It will also soun be necessary to build a factory In the Northeast, where the company Is accumulating a large tract of standing pine, and where the traie Is rapidly changing from the old-fashioned sulphur match to the parafflue match. Patents, Etc.— The company has this year acquired foreign and domestic patents for the manufacture of matches which seemed liable to become competitive. It is therefore seen from these couditions that the company Is in as good, it not better, shape than it ever has been to conduct its increasing business.

People's Gas Light & Coke Co. Report for year ended Dec, 31, 1900. J f Prpsident Billings, at the annnal meeting, said in part "The year has been a prosperous one, for while the company h£8 been subjected to much annoyance from those whose motives we do not care to impugn, it has steadily grown both in the good will and the patronage of its customers. As explained in the lagt annual report, the company took advantage during 1899 of the very low figures for street mains and service pipe which prevailed in that year to largely extend its mains in new territory. As we then foresaw, the price of pipe coatinnei high during the year 1900, and consequently the increase in mileage last year was small by comparison. We show an additional mileage of street mains in 1900 of about 33 miles, as against about 131 miles during the previous year. Notwithstanding this comparatively small increase in mileage, we show a gain for the year of over 25,000 meters and over 19,000 additional gas stoves. "There has been a considerable increase in the amount of depreciation charged off. This is largely due to the unusunl amount of work done in remodeling the plant, introducing modern appliances, and bringing the property up to a high standard of excellerce, and at the same time providing facil: ities for the distribution of a larger 1900.

The unfavorable trade reports from the Continent and domestic spinners have continued to have their influence against the market, and latterly there have been some reports received to the effect that Manchester business has shown something of a falling off. Owing to the poor trade conditions domestic cotton spinners are reported contemplating going on short-time. The crop movement has continued very moderate as compared with the free movement at this time last year. Port receipts have been particularly small in comparison. The interior receipts also show a small falling off. To-day there was a steadier market early, on firmer foreign advices and the small crop movement. During the day, however, there developed renewed liquidation on the part of tired holders, induced by the dull trade reports, and prices declioed. The close was barely steady at a net decline of 5@13 points, exclusive of November and December, which were unchanged. Cotton on the spot has been easier, closing at 93^c. for middling uplands. The rates on and off middling, as established Nov. 21, 1900, by the Revision Committee, at which grades other than middling may be delivered on contract, are as follows.

Indian corn futures have received increased attention and Advices from the interior have reported very moderate country offerings and acceptances. The volume of export businees transacted has been large. At the seaboard shippers have been good buyers on a higher basis of values and reports received from interior markets state that exporters have been fairly free buyers. Shorts have been buying to cover their contracts in the speculative markets. Commission houses also have been reported as fair buyers for investment account, induced by the large consumptive requirements. The limited supply of contract grades is an important factor in holding short selling in check. To-day there continued fair buying and prices held steady. The spot market was fairly active. The sales for export here and at outports were 402,000 bushels. OAILT OLOBINO PKIOBB OF NO. 2 MIXED OOBM IH YORK. Sat. Man. Tues. Frx. Wed. Thurs.

There has been a largely augmented attendance of buyers in the market this week, and the effect has been seen in an increase in the volume of business passing on the spot both in the primary market and with jobbers. There has also been an improvement in the business coming forward through other channels. This is encouraging so far as it goes, but still leaves considerable lo be desired, as in the aggregate trade is distinctly quieter than generally counted upon for this stage of the season. The absence of forward buying in all staple lines of cotton goods is marked and shows clearly *bat neither jobbers, converters nor cutters up have'thrown off the conservatism which has so long governed their actions. Their immediate requirements are increasing and these they are forced to attend to, but beyond them they are evidently willing to take their chance of the market. Meanwhile the tendency of prices in important directions is in their favor, as some sellers are evidently feeling the pressure of accumulating stocks. Short-time is being resorted to by cotton- spinning mills, and there are indications of other branches having curtailment of production under consideration. In the woolen goods division also buyers are more or less cautions, results this week being moderate in the aggregate.
