Lxxxiy. The return of the United States Steel THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. We have had another of those see-saw weeks. In¬ stead, however, of the first half being down and the half up, or vice-versa, the periodicity has forced itself into a kind of daily cycle,with a lower second record and then another still lower as the distin¬ Corporation for the December quarter, issued this week, is typical of the activity of the iron and steel industry, of which the Steel Corporation is one of the principal exponents and in which it is the largest factor. The quarter re¬ ferred to completes the company's fiscal year, which corresponds with that of the calendar year. Both the results for the quarter and for the twelve months are noteworthy and remarkable. They show a degree of prosperity which even its most sanguine promoters could hardly have dared to hope for at the inception of the enterprise, which ranks as chief among the world’s greatest industrial undertakings. But the success attained follows legitimately and inevitably as the result of the wise policy pursued by those re¬ sponsible for the conduct of its affairs. This policy has guishing characteristic. Almost every one of those who usually write about such things,and give us the whys and wherefores, tell us they can see no reason for all this—no reason why the investor keeps out of Wall Street when such liquidation and declines in values as have been almost a daily occurrence are ^Jd^npting him to come and buy.

And all this because, as we are told, Company’s business might hold their own against outside competition, and also to enable the company some few men have more than their share of wealth, or to turn out its various products at a minimum of cost. because some few may be getting their gains wrong¬ In making these large appropriations for the purposes ful^. Must we destroy the whole body of moderate named, this great industrial undertaking adopted the frugal money-savers in the land in order that we may punish those few? Then why do the work in such a policy so successfully pursued in the management of our leading railroads, with this difference, that the bitter, hostile, threatening way, and so injure all credit Steel Corporation by reason of its very magnitude has and industrial progress? It seems at times as if the au¬ been making appropriations on a scale besides which thorities were ready to change if not to destroy the whole those of even the largest of the railroad companies structure of our government lest it stand in the way of pale into insignificance.

The could wish he might more largely confine his efforts policy pursued in the matter of prices has been equally to it. The class of events we refer to is emphasized by characteristic. This policy consists simply in follow¬ the gift of a group of friends in Europe, who are ing a conservative course—not letting prices run too pledged to the peace movement, of a full-length por¬ high in times of great prosperity and extraordinary trait of President Roosevelt they are having painted demand, and not letting them drop too low when de¬ which is to be put in the Peace Palace at The Hague. mand slackens and trade prostration succeeds trade Mr. Roosevelt well deserves that honor.

It seemed almost The managers have in periods of activity allowed prices by slow degrees, but have checked every ten¬ dency towards undue advance, and. in like manner they have refused to follow values down to unduly low levels when price movements were reversed. The year 1906 was in every way a period of phenom¬ enal activity in the iron and steel industry, and the Steel Corporation, under its conservative administra¬ tion, fortified in the respects enumerated, reflects the to rise impossible that this affair could be arranged without leaving a state of decided irritation between all parties concerned. A conference Wednesday night at the White House between the California delegation in Congress and the President, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Navy has led to a statement by the parties thereto that a solution will be reached on the serious questions involved.

In brief, these net earnings As the President’s efforts presumably led to the close for the last three months of 1906 (after deducting in of the Russo-Japanese War, and as this dispute the usual way the expenditures for ordinary repairs, promised to weaken the very friendly relations which renewals and maintenance of plants, employees’ have always existed with the Tokio Government, bonus funds, and also interest' on bonds and fixed it is especially gratifying that Mr. Roosevelt is to be charges of the subsidiary companies) amounted to no the instrument of this happy outcome,and that his less than $41,744,964.

We shall not attempt to analyze the results for the twelve months of the calendar year, reserving this until the receipt of the company’s complete annual report some weeks hence, which will contain full details of the year’s operations. We will say here, however, that by combining the four quarterly returns, it is found that the net earnings for the calendar year 1906 aggregated no less than $156,619,111, against only $119,787,658 in 1905 and but were $73,176,522 in 1904. of 241 Pittsburgh and Erie gain of $1,055,500 in gross for the month has been attended by an augmentation of $675,200 in expenses, leaving, accordingly, an im¬ provement of $380,300 in the net. On the other hand, on the lines west of Pittsburgh an increase of $356,100 in gross is accompanied by an increase of $549,000 in expenses, giving a loss of $192,900 in the net. For the combined lines, therefore, the result is that, with $1,411,600 addition to the gross, there has come $1,224,200 increase in expenses, leaving the net better by only $187,400.

The reduction of the former currency to sterling Pounds was by considering the Gulden to have the value of 80 cents. As the Kronen has really no greater value than 20 cents, our cable correspondent in London, in order to reduce Kronen to Pounds, has altered the basis of conversion by dividing the amount of Kronen by 24 instead of 20. d The total of gold in the Bank of Russia includes the balance held abroad—that is, the amount held for Russian account in other Continental banks. The propor¬ tion so held and consequently duplicated in the above statement, is about one-quar¬ ter of the total. THE GERMAN ELECTION AND SOCIALISM. A general election in an with important State the parliamentary form of government is always a matter of considerable importance, as showing which way the current of political feeling moves. It is not always true that results of such a contest general movement in the in one country direction; but there are occasions when underlying political causes are common to all communities, and when, therefore, each successive general election—in America, in England or on the Continent—merely adds witness to a world-wide tendency. It is for this reason that comparison of results at elections in different countries during the same period become especially valuable as showing how far a given movement is local or universal. There has been a rather general feeling, during the past year or so particularly, that the radical element was gaining, and was likely continuously to gain, more power in national legislatures. The recent Con¬ prove a same gressional elections in this country may not have con¬ firmed the expectation, except in so far as the return¬ ing of an administration majority might be interpreted endorsement of the radical policies of the Ad¬ ministration. But in England the recent general as an election, with its sweeping reversal of Conservative majorities, brought into power a very considerable group of labor members who were distinctly a new element in British politics. In France the elections of last May went strongly for the Government; but the Government itself had to bid for radical votes, and of late the evidence of eeau in his commonly believed to be before. There was thus suggested a possible general drift in the direction of radicalism in European legislatures. The occurrence at the close of last week of the German general election gave. another and a very valuable opportunity to test the question. Germany is the home of the so-called scientific socialism, there is distinct and by no means negligible socialist party in the Reichstag, and Germany in the past few years, like the United States, has been largely absorbed in industrial activity converging on the great manufac¬ turing centres—in which, accordingly, unusually large of workers have been gathered. It is true that Reichstag cannot be measured, as in England or America, by the majorities gained by Administration or Opposition. The Reichstag, like the French Deputies, is divided into a group of seven or more separate political factions, which divide, com¬ bine and re-arrange themselves, according to the nature of the question under debate, in such way as to baffle efforts at discovering the real complexion of the ma¬ jority. Nevertheless, the weakening or strengthening of any one party’s representation in the Reichstag, when that party stands for something definite, shows plainly enough how public opinion is moving. The vote of last week Friday gave some highly interesting results—not less so because they were unexpected. When the Reichstag wras dissolved by the Emperor, it was understood that the Government’s appeal to the people wras aimed primarily at the socalled Centre—the clerical element in the Legislature— wThich had not only stood in the way of certain financial requisitions by the Imperial Government, but in par¬ ticular had opposed the additional estimates asked in the Government’s budget for the German colonies of Southwest Africa. In Europe, it was generally assumed that the election wTould be a trial of strength as between the imperial authority and this Conserva¬ tive opposition to it. Judged purely from that point of view, the result had been pretty much of a drawn battle. The clerical Centre thus far apparently retains the full representation gained by it in the election of 1903. That is to say, the Government’s direct attack on that element in the Reichstag has failed. The Government did not definitely throw down the gage to the Socialists, yet it is in this direction that a victory is now claimed. If it is true that the Sociailst party had been generally antagonistic to the Imperial Government and its finance plans, this was no more true than it has been at every general election during the past twenty years. Now, during that period it is a matter of record that no general election has occurred in which the Socialists have not increased their pre¬ vious representation in the Reichstag by from five to twenty votes. They achieved such a result in 1903, and if political developments in England and in France since then are assumed to indicate a world-wide swing toward social radicalism, it w-as surely to be expected that the German Socialists w^ould gain still more largely in the present vote. Instead of this, the representa¬ tion of the Socialists has been heavily impaired. • It wras at once admitted that the Socialist Party had en¬ popular support to Clemenundertakings—the movement, for in¬ countered a defeat. Over that fact Chancellor von stance, for the income tax—shows that a more or Buelow and the Emperor have exchanged felicitations, less radical spirit prevails in France; though it is only and a victory for the Imperial Party has been assumed. a elections to the England..; 34 ,249,496 ! 34 ,249,4961 32 .761,730 32 ,761,730 105 ,837,120: 39,427 ,680145 ,264,800:113 ,931,878 42,187 ,687 156 ,119,565 Germany a 32 ,532,000 10,844 ,000 43 ,376,000 35 ,784,000 11,928 ,000 47 ,712,000 France fair to say that Clemenceau himself has become much less of a radical since assuming office than he was masses February 1 1906.

We should, in fact, be surprised if the German voters had shown any such tendency. Like our own people, they are in the midst of high pros¬ perity; employment is general, wages good, and factors going to provoke discontent, whether social or political, unusually limited degree. The course will lend added interest to the final results of the Russian elections for the new Douma now in progress. We shall presently know whether the exercise of the Czar’s autocratic power will provoke a still more vigorous endorsement of radicalism at the polls, or whether the excesses with which the Revolu¬ tionary Party and its adherents greeted that election will have turned back peaceably disposed voters into are present in an of events in Germany [VOL.

Much the same remark may be made with refer¬ ence to the ownership or interest held by employees been and officials in coal-producing companies sending their product over the roads. When the railroads in their early days were anxious to build up their traffic and revenues, every means for increasing tonnage was en¬ couraged, and the traffic official who could influence business directly or indirectly through his friends or through personal ownership was held in high esteem. The testimony before the Commission last summer showed that some abuses had grown up out of this system, and that it was now being employed in a from that originally contem¬ plated; that indeed its character and purpose had entirely changed. It is noteworthy that, with the ex¬ ception of the Pennsylvania Railroad, practically no instances could be found of ownership direct or in¬ direct in coal properties by railroad officers or em¬ ployees. In the case of the Pennsylvania Railroad 8-ich ownership or interest existed on a very extensive the ranks of conservatism. scale.

In all essential respects tion that provision be made for the representation of these roads remained active competitors with one an¬ Very pos¬ owners of the mines at the rating thereof, other except that they did not carry their competition sibly there would be no difficulty in the way, but we to the extent of cutting rates for the purpose of secur¬ agreed schedules of rates were maintained and cutting done away with. the truth of the statement may be admitted. If we are to imply anything more than that do not feel competent ing business. certainly competition of facilities and each road was just as anxious to make a record for itself in the matter of business as before. The policy of maintaining rates was in confirmation of the saying that self-preservation is the first law of nature. Under the old method of indiscriminate cut¬ ting of rates, freight charges had got down to figures There was bankruptcy—actually did bring bank¬ ruptcy in the case of such roads as the Erie, the Nor¬ Western and the Baltimore A Ohio, and would folk have involved even the Pennsylvania itself in ruin if it had not been changed through the union of interests brought about by Mr. Cassatt. «This is one of the things of which we find no mention in the report of the Commission and perhaps it did not come within the precise scope of the joint resolution of Congress authorizing the investigation. And yet it is a feature having an important bearing upon the ethics and wisdom of the policy so widely entered upon among railroad interests in recent years of adhering to agreed schedules of rates rather than encouraging unbridled competition. However, even in that regard the Penn¬ sylvania Railroad at least has been prompt to fall in line with public sentiment. When it was seen that the holding of an interest in neighboring or competing roads was no longer looked upon with popular favor, the management disposed of the greater part of its holdings in the other trunk line properties. In the main we find ourselves in accord with the recommendations of the Commission. They urge, first, that every common carrier engaged in inter¬ state transportation of coal be required to make public the system of car distribution in effect upon its railway and the several divisions thereof. The Com¬ mission find that it has been mainly because of the lack of publicity that inequality and discrimination in the distribution of cars for the shipment of coal has been made possible. They say that if the carriers had in all cases conducted their business with shippers openly and had furnished information as to car distribution, much of the favoritism which is claimed to have existed would have been averted and wherever unjust suspicions were aroused the fact that they were un¬ founded would have readily appeared. They note, too, that whenever there has been a car distribution the details of which were open to the inspection of shippers, though the latter might complain of not that threatened receiving as many cars as and required, still in such to express an opinion on the point. To the Commission’s third recommendation hearty approval may be given. They urge that after the lapse of a reasonable time, carriers engaged in inter¬ state commerce be prohibited from using “individual” or “private” cars for thejhandling of coal traffic; and, further, that when a carrier is unable to furnish all the cars required by all the shippers upon its line, all cars in service on the road (excepting individual or privately owned cars, until their use is prohibited) be treated as the equipment of the company and sub¬ ject to distribution according to the system ,or plan There can be no two opinions in effect at that time. as to how the “private” car should be treated. The “private” car is one of those barnacles that has fastened itself upon the railroads with ever-increasing danger alike to the carriers and general shippers, and the sooner it can be got rid of the better. The fourth recommendation is a two-fold one, the first part being that carriers engaged in inter-State commerce be forbidden after reasonable time to own or have any interest direct or indirect in any operated properties except such as are exclusively for their own fuel supply. It seems to us that this is precisely what the Hepburn Bill undertakes to'require of the roads in the provision which becomes operative’after May 1 1908. We are not at all sure that this pro¬ vision in the Hepburn law, disturbing so seriously coal be carried into effect. It will certainly work great hardship in many instances and where there are bond issues secured by joint mortgages on the coal properties and the vested interests, is Constitutional or can how separation can The second part of the Commission’s be enforced. last recommendation is that ownership, either direct or indirect by officers or employees of common carriers of any coal properties or any of the stock of coal com¬ panies, along the line of road by which they are em¬ ployed, be forbidden. In view of recent experiences and developments it strikes us that.such a require¬ ment would be both wise and proper and certainly railroads alike, it is difficult to see , salutary. CHICAGO & NORTH WESTERN RESULTS THE CALENDAR YEAR. EOR North Western Railway Co. for the calendar year, as5 distinct from the company’s report for the fiscal year ending June 80, cases The statement of the Chicago & of the always an interesting one, is more than ordinarily is, it so on the present occasion. In the first place, the company has been making several additions to its seems to us, both logic and force in what the Commis¬ stock in recent periods.

The figures attract attention for still another A earnings reason. no longer bring proportionate,additions to the net. The ten¬ dency of transportation rates is downward, both as a result of the voluntary action of the roads them¬ selves and as a consequence of action by the public authorities, while at the same time the cost of labor and of materials and supplies is steadily increasing. In the matter of labor, there have been important advances in wages of certain classes of employees quite recently and naturally returns of earnings merit particular notice on that account, as they enable one to see how any given road is faring under this state of things. Perhaps the most noteworthy feature in the North Western's statement for the calendar year is that it tells of a $9,963,101 in 1904. continuance of those remarkable characteris¬ tics for which this well-managed property has been so long distinguished.

Owing to the additions to the stock, the new now call for the dividends in 1906 much larger preceding, having been $7,053,346, against only $5,546,232 in 1905 and $5,174,924 in was very than in the years as 1904. But under this increase in the dividend even requirement the $15,250,638 net earnings remaining charges were $8,197,292 in excess of the call for the dividends. The management followed its usual practice of making a large appropriation out of earnings for construction, improvements and perman¬ ent additions to the property; and the available net income having been so large, the amount of this appro¬ priation has been even more liberal than in former years. In a word, no less than $6,000,000 was set above fixed aside in this way. To put the matter in a different form, the company, while distributing $7,053,346 out of the year's as dividends to the earnings shareholders, applied $6,000,000 to improvements and betterments and even then had ing the twelve months as a whole) show a substantial left a surplus of $2,197,292, which in effect was applied addition, while in the matter of yearly surplus and the in the same way—that is, went either to improve the large appropriations made out of the same, all former physical or financial condition of the property. Dur¬ records in that regard are surpassed. In brief, aggre¬ ing the last five years the specific appropriations from gate gross earnings, after having increased from net earnings have aggregated almost 25 million dollars, $53,705,091 in 1904 to $59,066,556 in 1905, have now and yet, as we see, the company finds itself obliged, in increased to $66,437,599 in 1906, while net earnings order to fulfil its duty to The public and protect the have risen from $16,667,889 in 1904 to $18,671,501 property, to raise enormous further amounts of in 1905 and to $21,377,714 in 1906.

In this last table the force of the influences which at is the railroads is more plainly in evidence than when the results for the calendar year are considered as a whole. We mean that the part played by increasing expenses in the present are working adversely to manifest. Gross earnings keep expanding very fast and yet not very much faster than the augmentation in expenses. Thus, for the six months ending with December 1906 the gross increased from $32,916,615 to $35,887,658, but the net earnings gained only from $12,193,000 to $12,407,312. In other words, with $2,971,043 addition to the gross, the addition to the net was no more than $214,312. Three of the six months, namely Septem¬ ber, October and November, actually record losses in net in face of considerable gains in gross earnings. Only exceptionally large gains in the gross seem to bring additions to the net now. It is this for which we must become prepared in the railroad world. The Chicago Sc North Western, by reason of the phenome¬ nal strength of its income position, can view with in¬ difference a change in prospects where to many other large companies a setback will be a matter of deep affairs of the roads is very concern. GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION AND MOVEMENTS IN 1906. judgment respecting the gold supply was confined to the facts relating to the active struggle for gold which has been in progress the last six months If our world’s monetary centres, the conclusion would be that the output of the mines was of 1906 between the been on the decline for a series of years. That the struggle for possession has been phenomenally sharp, hardly needs to be said. Not only has the old supply been sought, but the weekly deliveries from the mines have met not only decreasing but that it must have active, eager bidders. Every one knows, however, that the active demand was in no degree due to a decrease in the production. production of that metal has been growing since 1882 and without a setback, except the shortage in the South African supply which occurred in 1900 to 1902 inclusive, caused almost wholly by the Boer War and the lack of labor which followed its close. Previous to that occurrence the year 1882 was notable as being the twelve months of the smallest gold output of the world’s mines since 1851. In 1882 the yield shrank to a value of only $99,757,848, or expressed in ounces, to 4,825,794 ounces. Prior to 1851 the annual compilations are more or less unreliable. With 1882, the }rear of minimum yield, the new era set in. At the start the increase was slow; for the first six years it averaged only about one million "dollars annually, the year’s total in 1S88 being only $106,989,444. In 18S7 South Africa began its marvelous career as a gold producer, with an output that year of 28,754 ounces, valued at $122,140. We give in our tables below the The world’s 247 THE CHRONICLE | a marvel. Including the year just closed, the eleven since 1896 have added to the old stock $3,322,760,841. It should be kept in mind that we are not referring to any article of the character of food products but to a non-perishable article. The aggregate product of the same metal in the fifteen years from 1882 to 1896 reached but $1,S70,434,882. That is to say, in the eleven years ending with 1906 the new supply was $1,452,325,959 larger than it was in the whole previous period of fifteen years. Moreover, as the article we are dealing with is, we repeat, not perishable, has a high value, and is kept with special diligence, the public holds to-day, excepting what has been used in the arts, $5,193,195,723 in addition to the stock on hand in 1881, which sufficed to facilitate trade at that time. These few facts would on their face appear to afford evidence of an abundant supply to meet every want of the world’s business centres without friction. It should also be added that the world’s con¬ sumption of gold in the arts, &c., is not large, though it has been gaining during recent years. Growth is particularly true of the United States, but it is also true, though in a less degree, of the rest of the world. Our Mint Bureau is generally accepted by the world as the authority on that point. Mr. Roberts’s latest compilation is for 1905. His total given for that year was $85,122,000. If we assume $92,000,000 as the amount so used in 1906—it being a very active year in an industrial way—the estimate given for last year would seem to be not far from the actual figure. The places of lodgment for this large gold output and stock are much more numerous than they were formerly. There is scarcely one among commercial nations now that has not in some way ^adopted the gold standard, not on ajbasis of full value but by some fixed relation to gold, and is consequently keeping and building up a stock for reserve. This has come about through the well-known circumstance that it is only a short time since silver was the actual currency of many countries that are no longer in thaUsituation. One by one, through different methods, they have gotten into the current which has carried them away from silver to gold. With such a tendency existing, it is hard to follow the routes and stopping-places where the metal collects, orjjto measure its volume. As to the prospective output of gold, a little fear has been felt lest the Transvaal production might mffer a moderate setback. This feeling was due to the new phase of the labor prospects which the new Constitu¬ tion imposes. It plainly deprives the colony of a free hand in dealing with Chinese labor, while allowing it to deal with Kaffir labor as it pleases. Altogether, it is hoped that the crisis in the Transvaal is now passed and the mines will continue to keep up an increasing product. If that expectation is realized, we see no reason why the world’s output should not be further added to. A noteworthy fact is the re¬ markable vitality in the supply from the United years 9 only of Africa but of all the other States. The Director of the Mint has published in his general important producers which at present furnish the report for quite a number of years an aggregate world’s annual new gold supply. But how does the total output distribute itself? claimed to include in a single total the visible supply Where has it all gone?

Such information as we have, however, seems to point to a pro¬ duction differing but slightly from a year ago, and on that basis we have prepared the 1906 figures given below. With regard to the price of the metal, the 1906 advance has been important, reaching in the average 3 l-16d., the highest London price having been 333^d., the lowest 29d. and the average 30j^d. In 1905 the average was 27 13-16d., in 1904 was 26%d., in 1903 was 24%d. and in 1902 was 24 l-16d. It is worthy of note that 333^d., the highest point reached in 1906, is higher than at any time since December 1893. We give below a statement covering each year since 1890.

The amendment referred to speci¬ fies that the business hours of members of the association shall be from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m., except where otherwise fixed throughout the country,as a result of prosperous trade con¬ ditions, it becomes not only desirable but almost necessary that the public, who are asked to confide their affairs, fidu¬ ciary and financial, to these institutions, should be better informed as to their organization, their functions and their stability.” This, it continues, is a matter of special import and significance in relation to the trust company. An out¬ line of the government of the trust companies in this State is submitted, and it is pointed out that there is perhaps no more interesting legislative requirement enacted of the companies than that which calls for semi-annual examina¬ tion and detailed reports of the results by their own boards of directors.

Money Market and Financial Situation.—Persistent liquidation in the stock market was the prominent charac¬ teristic of operations at the Exchange during the early part of the week and again to-day. • So effective has this move¬ ment been that several of the best known railway issues have sold below the lowest quotations recorded for them during the year 1906. There was a temporary suspension of the decline on Thursday, and a substantial recovery in many cases on the execution of some quite large buying orders. On that day also call loan rates declined to 1%%, the low¬ est figures reached since July last, both of which seemed to indicate that the liquidation referred to had run its course. This morning, however, it was resumed with renewed force, and in many cases prices have gone lower than before. Evidently traders on the short side of the market find the present a favorable time for bold and aggressive operations, but there has also undoubtedly been liberal sales of long stocks almost continuously throughout the week. The open market rates for call loans on the Stock Ex¬ change during the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 1% to 4%. To-day’s rates on call were ”%(2%%. Prime commercial paper quoted at 5%(6)G%% for endorsements and 5%@6%% for best single names. The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday showed an increase in bullion of £647,971, the percentage of reserve to liabilities was 48.31, against 48.91 last week. The discount rate remains as fixed January 17 at 5%. The Bank of France shows a decrease of 5,850,000 francs in gold and 2,050,000 francs in silver. liThe New York City Clearing-House banks in their state¬ ment of January 26 showed an increase of $3,246,400 in the reserve held and a surplus over the required reserve of $15,562,800, against $18,460,700 the previous week.

The market for railway and industrial bonds has been dull and weak. Only a few issues have been sufficiently active to establish quotations and these are generally at a lower level. Convertible issues have been notably weak, declining in sympathy with the market for shares, but the list, as a whole, is down an average of about a point. Atchison, Burlington & Quincy, Colorado Industrial, Pennsylvania, Interborough and United States Steel have been the active features, and Northern Pacific, Union Pacific and Heading relatively strong.

It continued generally weak until after the opening on Thursday, when buying orders were executed in sufficient volume, to cause a substantial recovery in prices. These purchases were, perhaps, largely to cover short contracts. However that may be, the offerings to-day were again in excess and in many cases more than yesterday’s recovery was lost. There have been few exceptional features, among which are St. Paul, Northern Pacific and Canadian Pacific. They have been relatively strong throughout and are the only active stocks that close as high or higher than last week. North West and Heading, on the other hand, declined over 8 points A long list of active stocks, both and close near the lowest. railway and industrial, are down from 2 to 5 points. Ana¬ conda Mining lost 11 points and recovered 3%. For daily volume of business see page 263.

Is now earning $50,000 net per month. The company has been In successful operation only a short period and these are the first official figures given out. The present price for future delivery Is about $1 10 a barrel, exclusive of package. This Is 50 cents more than last year’s price, and for some of the companies Is almost all net profit, as their cost of production Is about 65 or 70 cents. The present out¬ put of the company’s plants Is about 120,000 barrels per month. When the additions now building are completed next spring, Its output will be about 250,000 barrels a month. All Its machinery was designed by Thomas A. Edison and the successful operation of over a year has, It Is claimed, proved fully equal to the expectations of the inventor and promoters. The company introduced kilns of 150 feet in length In place of the ordinary 60-foot kilns, and these have run so successfully that In all new plants kilns of from 110 to 140 feet In length are Installed. (The foregoing, we learn under date of Dec. 31, was correct as of date published. Prices are now lower than In October, but It is expected will go as high In 1907 as they did In 1906. Shipments are also smaller on account of winter weather.— Ed. “Chronicle.”)—V. 81. p. 616.

With these exceptions, there has been no change in the Company's holdings of stocks since December 31 1905. Bonds.—These are First Mortgage Bonds of the Union Light, Heat & Power Company of Covington and Newport, Kentucky, the residue of an investment made in 1901. Loans.—These are largely loans to constituent companies electric light and gas for construction purposes. Accounts Receivable.—These with constituent are current open accounts companies. Liabili ties. Accounts Payable.—These are unpaid and overdue coupons and unclaimed dividends of constituent companies, which are paid by The North American Company companies. as fiscal agent for such INCOME ACCOUNT. Dividends Received .— The Company owns stocks of the The dividends received during from stocks of the par value of $16,743,872 28. No distribution has yet been made of the surplus earnings pertaining to the remaining stocks ($27,075,025 00 par value). The amount of dividends received during the last fiscal year is less than the amount received during the fiscal jmar ending December 31 1905 by $233,132 78. In that year, in addition to the regular established dividends, paid quarterly or semi-annually, an extra dividend of $360,000 00 was received. While the surplus net income of the electric railway, light and gas companies in which The North' American Company is interested, for the year 1906. after the payment of all dividends, was $1,195,066 19 (of which upon distribution The North American Company would be-entitled to 82.2 per cent), it was deemed best not to distribute any part thereof, for the reason that the companies are all engaged in construction and development work, and the financial con¬ ditions prevailing, especially during the last six months of the year, have not been favorable for t he sale of their interestbearing obligations, which. a> described in the last annual report, have been created to provide for their capital re¬ quirements. It will also bo recalled that in the report math* to tie* Stockholders' meeting, held on .Line 21 1905, it was said that the purchase of the Common Stock of the United Railways Company of St. Louis “was made with full recognition of the fact that large expenditures would be required for the improvement and development of the property in order fully to serve the public comfort and convenience and to provide for tli rapidly increasing traffic, and that the surplus earn¬ ings o er its fixed interest charges and dividends on its Pre¬ ferred Stock ought for several years to be applied to these par value of $43,SIS,897 28. the fiscal year wen* derived are not, therefore, to be Increase in the Value of Assets as Readjusted December 31 1906.—In re-valuing the securities arid assets of the Company as of December 31 1906, the Board of Directors have been governed by the conservative precedents established during the past four years. Jjosses.—These are amounts charged off on various small accounts of long standing, or paid in settlement thereof. PURCHASES OF PROPERTY. County Gas Company.—This Company was or¬ ganized for the purpose of supplying gas to the suburban ’Assets. accordance Immediate returns expected.” St. Louis BALANCE SHEET. Valuations.—In purposes. 1906, territory surrounding the City of St. Louis, and with power extend throughout the entire county. This suburban district contains a number of towns and villages of consider¬ able size, which are likely to have a rapid growth with the improvement in transportation facilities now in progress and planned. The demand .for gas had become urgent. To meet tin* present demand and to lay the foundation for sup¬ plying t he* probable future growth,a system of high-pressure mains has been laid from points of connection with the mains of The Laclede Gas Light Company at the city limits of St. Louis,- to Welston, Clayton, Richmond Heights, Maplewood, Webster Groves, Luxemburg and University to Heights. Gas is purchased from the Laclede Company, and is pumped from the stations of that Company at high pressure, which is reduced by regulating devices attached to the service pipes of the consumers. By this method service of the most satisfactory character is supplied, and tin* system admits of extension to long distances at a comparatively moderate outlay. The North American'Company subscribed, at par, for the entire capital stock of the Company, namely, $300,000, and during the past year has paid therefor in cash. It is believed that this investment will be of growing value. St. Louis & Suburban Railway.—The United Railways Company of St. Louis has purchased all the assets, property and franchises of the St. Louis <fc Suburban Railway Com¬ pany, and has paid therefor $4,000,000, par value, of its (the United Railways Company) Preferred Stock out of the amount held for the benefit of its treasury, which stock, however, is not to be entitled to dividends until declared after January 15 1908. It has also assumed the indebtedness of the Suburban Company. The purchase was authorized in August 1906, and was consummated on December 31 1906. The United Rail¬ ways Company entered into possession of the property on January 1 191)7, and the Suburban system is now and will hereafter be operated as a part of the system of the United Railways Company. By this purchase, the trackage of the United Railways Company has been increased 105.82 miles (41.21 in the City of St. Louis and 64.61 in the County of St. Louis), which makes its total trackage 456.64 miles (350.59 miles in the City of St. Louis and 106.05 miles in the Count-y'of St. Louis); it has-obtained an additionaleast-andwest trunk line running through the best part of the City and to the business centre; a line built on private right of way from the city limits half way to the business centre, two additional crosstown lines and suburban lines, which extend to the western section of St. Louis County, and con¬ nect all of the important suburban towns and villages. By the introduction of transfers between the former sys¬ tem <>f the United Railways Company and the lines acquired, a passenger may travel throughout the City for a single fare, and all sections of the City are made more accessible to the residents of the suburban districts. The two properties can be operated with greater efficiency together than separately, and the increase of transfer privileges and the readjustment of fares and operat¬ ing schedules will greatly serve the public convenience. The growth of the suburban territory tributary to the pur¬ chased lines will be stimulated. No doubt is entertained as to the wisdom of this purchase. and economy CONSTRUCTION. During the year Milwaukee Electric affiliated Companies the offices and administration of The Railway & Light Company and of its have been established and concentrated Feb. 2 in the station building erected great office and central car by the Company in the heart of the City, named the “Public Service Buildingwhich was briefly described in the last annual report. It is now admirably serving the many offi¬ cial and public uses for which it was designed. Extensions of the suburban railway system from Pewaukee distance of 13 miles, and from MusTroy, a distance of 15 miles, are nearing completion, and will be opened for service in the coming spring. Important additions have been made to rolling stock and other equipment, and in general the physical development of these properties has proceeded systematically upon long established lines. The new water-side plant of the Union Electric Light & Power Company at St. Louis, in the construction of which many difficult engineering problems and vexatious cielajrs have been encountered, has been completed, the use of the old stations (three in number) for generating current has been discontinued, the distribution system enlarged and perfected, and the Company is now in position not only to supply the present demand for electric current, but also"the probable growth for several years, without further additions Lake to Oconomowoe, a kego Center to East It is impossible to say authoritatively what the population is, but judging by the usual estimates made by local authorities of urban growth in the principal cities within the territory under consideration, St. Louis. Milwaukee and Detroit, it is probable that it now amounts to as much as 2,650,000, an increase of approximately 475,000 in about six years. This would mean an annual increase in tributary, population of 75,000 more or less. With the increase of population, per capita expenditures for transpor¬ tation, gas and electricity naturally tend to increase more than proportionately. When, in addition to this, it is con¬ sidered that the saie of gas and electricity is now actively promoted by progressive commercial methods, that new uses are constantly arising,and that with the cheapening of electric current the steam engine is being displaced as the motive power of industries, it becomes apparent that there is reason to expect a continued great growth for the prop¬ erties in question, provided the available opportunities for legitimate expansion are embraced, and the present methods 2,175,000 present its generating capacity. The Laclede Gas Light Company has made important ex¬ tensions of its mains and services, and,as already stated in this report, the St. Louis County Gas Light Company established a s}\stein of distribution to meet the needs of suburbs of {St. Louis. The United Railways Company of St. Louis has constructed extensive shops, adapted to the construction as well as has the the repair of cars and their equipment, and has reconstructed, according to the highest standard, about twenty-five miles of track, and has otherwise improved its facilities. The Detroit Edison Company has completed its water-side generating plant at Delray to its full capacity of 20,000 horse power, and its affiliated operating Companies have made large extensions of their sub-stations and distribution systems, and have also made further important acquisitions and extensions in the territory surrounding Detroit.

Also, there was at that time a good deal of realizing, and, if any thing,even more selling for short account than liquidation’. Moreover, snow-storms supposed to be of more or less benefit to winter wheat were reported in vari¬ ous parts of the West. But later in the week came a rally, owing to higher foreign markets, small receipts at the North¬ west, extremely cold weather at tlie West and reports that the snowfall had been insufficient, so much so that most of the winter-wheat bolt was unprotected by snow. More¬ over, reports continue to be received that purchases of grain are being made by the Russian Government to relieve the famine-stricken districts of the Empire. The American vis¬ ible supply decreased for the week 728,000 bushels, as against an increase for the same time last year of 225,000 bushels. The world's stock decreased 3,000,000 bushels, as against an increase for the same week last year of 120,000 bushels. The excess of world’s stocks of American wheat over last year has now been cut down in round figures to 3,400,000 bushels. The world’s .stock of all kinds of wheat is 155,080,000 bushels, or only 1,307,000 bushels more than at the corresponding date last year.

Further strength has characterized tin* cotton goods market during the week, several cast's of higher levels recorded. The great problem is still how to get new stocks, and buyers arc trying to eke spot Purchases for 190S delivery are proceeding in good volume, being arc goods. out'supplies with especially in the finer grades. A firmer tendency to the raw material has had a stimulating effect on new orders, suggest¬ New ing as it does still higher prices for goods later on. business in fact surpasses expectations, and advances in various lines are wiilingly met, provided early delivery can be promised. Jobbers’ stocks are reported at the lowest ebb ever known at this season, and heavy duplicate orders will be necessary t<> supply the spring trade requirements. Much interest centres about the reported depletion of stocks in China, which, it is said, continues at a rate that would indicate future buying here on a fairly heavy scab*, although the export business at the present time is. quiet. Orders rom Shanghai may be expected to increase in tin* natural course of events, but in the prevailing over-sold condition of the market the* effect would not be particularly beneficial, xccpt to those honrcFbuyers who have contracted far ahead at lower prices.
