Another week has passed, one too with a holiday
to interrupt the free course of events and with troub
lesome developments in the Philippines, and yet
confidence has so far continued to be felt in the sta
bility and progress of affairs that the stock market
has preserved a strong undertone, and the trend of
Values, as a rule, has been upward. To be sure, as in
the earlier part of the month, days or parts of days
seem to intervene when prices become variable; that
was the case on Tuesday preceding “ Washington’ s
Birthday,” when realizing sales and other exceptional
influences gave to a strong opening a weak closing,
and then again on Thursday about the same con
ditions prevailed; but even on those occasions there
were properties that left off higher than at
the start.
Such a long continuing series of
firm, tenacious markets, after so large an advance, is
phenomenal, and naturally enough makes many ob
servers skeptical of it3 duration and every one eager
to divine its cause and measure its length. Some de
clare it is easy money that has kept up the active
movement, and that as soon as high rates rule its end
will come and values collapse. Perhaps so—money
is a little more discriminating now, but have we not
had an extremely easy money market for several pre
vious years, accompanied by weakness and depression
in stocks all the time? Money may be one condition
for special buoyancy, but of itself it can neither make
nor unmake confidence and strength.
The truth is,
we only get at the real basis of the present situation
and begin to interpret the future when we pass from
a general view of prices to examine particular
cases.
What, for illustration, makes coal stocks, which
only a very short time ago were claimed to be just
on the edge of a disastrous insolvency, and which
have already established such material advances—
what makes them continue to rise in price ? We can
best answer that question by asking another. What
can stop the value of coal properties from appreciating
so long as tho consumption of coal is materially in
creasing ? Some fancy that the improvement in the
demand for coal will end when spring weather
begins.
We may on that point be too hasty
in our judgments. Such a conclusion is based on
the idea that the recent cold and wintry weather
is the cause of the enlarged consumption.
We
have had cold Februarys and cold winters in pre
vious years without putting a particle of heat into
these then lifeless bodies. Cold weather has no doubt
in small degree helped to make the existing change,
but this year that feature was supplemented by
another, which has been the common impulse to the
whole list of values and is to-day its support. We
refer to the better business conditions prevailing, to
[VOL, LXVIII.
the enlarged capacity of the people for consumption
of every article, to the renewed spirit of enterprise
which is adding to all kinds of production, and which
in its turn is further stimulating the use of
raw materials and products. What one has conse
quently got to watch to correctly divine the future
course of affairs is the industrial conditions. Are
they healthy or are they developing unsound growth?
So long as the progress remains vigorous and normal,
and no financial weakness comes in to upset calcula
tions, we look for a healthy stock market. We do not
mean that a hysterical situation like that in January
will be repeated, but that there will be such advances
as special circumstances warrant in special properties,
cases where the promise of increased revenue invites
the purchaser to make the investment.
An important piece of evidence, indicating the
change in financial affairs which has taken place
within two years, is suggested by the settlement with
the Government of the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany’s Government debt obligations, announced last
week by Messrs. Speyer & Co. No one could have
conjectured three years ago that these Pacific roads
would ever be in condition to pay even the principal
of their debt to the Government. When AttorneyGeneral Harman, under
President Cleveland’s
Administration,
effected
the
latter part
of
January 1897 an arrangement with the Reorgani
zation Committee of the Union Pacific Railroad
ensuring a minimum bid of $15,754,000 in the fore
closure proceedings then in progress, it was considered
to be a highly favorable settlement for the Govern
ment. Six months previous nothing like such an
agreement could have been secured from any syndi
cate of bankers. But it so happened that the improve
ment in affairs which began with the election in Nov
ember 1896, and had changed the whole face of the
financial outlook in January 1897, had so far progressed
by autumn of that year that Attorney-General
McKenna, under President McKinley’s Administra
tion, the last week of October 1897 obtained a modifi
cation of the Company’s agreement under which
the Reorganization Committee consented to pay the
full principal and interest ($58,353,545) of the
Union Pacific debt; a little later the same com
mittee undertook also to pay $6,303,000, the full
principal of the Kansas Pacific debt. Now under
tho agreement just made and referred to above, the
full debt, principal and interest, of the Central Pa
cific, and the debt also of the Western Pacific road
($58,812,715 48 in all), have been arranged for. A c
cording to an official statement made by the Depart
ment of Justice this week, “ the result of these
transactions is that out of a claim it was at one time
supposed the Government would not realize fifty cents
on a dollar, the enormous sum of $123,563,939” has
been secured. The foregoing indicates the gain to the
United States Government in this mutter—one of the
fruits of the election of 1896. That though is a very
minor consideration,for it indicates far more than that;
it tells us of the wonderful change that has taken
place in the financial and industrial outlook which is
stimulating more or less every industry and adding
largely to the national income.
One of the favorable features in the railroad situ
ation at the present time is the spirit of co-operation
that is developing between the railroads and some of
F e b r u a b t 35, 1899.]
THE CHRONICLE.
the government railroad commissions. One evidence
of this is found in the repeated conferences that have
been held of late between the Inter-State Commerce
Commission and the president* of the trunk line rail
roads. These conferences have been attended by very
satisfactory results. It is a great point gained to have
the railroads and the Commissioners working together
in a friendly spirit instead of pursuing independent
courses and drifting wider and wider apart in their
views and action. It has always been our opinion
that the Inter-3tate Commission’s chief element of
usefulness would be in seeing that the rates fixed
by the railroads and filed with the Commission are
fa thfully observed. Greater injury to merchants
and shippers has been done through deviations from
the agreed schedules—concessions being made to
favored shippers—than in any other way. The Com
mission seems now to recognize this fact, and is evi
dently giving its earnest co-operation to the
roads in their efforts to enforce the observance of the
published rates. One result is that according to the
unanimous testimony of railroad men there is less
secret rate-cutting both in the East and in the West
than there has been for years. This means of
course that the roads are getting increased
revenues, gross and net, from their transportation
services, but it also means that there is stability of
rates, that no one shipper is being favored over an
other, and that consequently the spirit and intent of
the Inter State law is being carried out. The move is
in the right direction, and if persisted in will place
both the users of the roads and the investors in them
on a new and improved basis.
Further testimony to this tendency towards har
mony and co-operation is furnished in the compro
mise just reached between the Texas railroads and
the Texas Railroad Commission. For a long time
the carriers and the Texas Hoard have been at
loggerheads. The roads yielded acquiescence to
the rate schedules of the Board, each lower
than the one preceding, until further com
pliance was out of the question without inviting ruin
and bankruptcy. Then they appealed to the Federal
Courts, and after lengthy hearings and arguments
secured injunctions against the wholo aeries of rate
orders of the Commission. Having gained this vic
tory, the roads of course had no occasion for foaling
uneasy or for asking any favors of the Com
mission. The latter’s low rates had been overthrown,
and instead the roads wore now getting very much
better rates. In short, they held the whip hand. Nev
ertheless they continued conciliatory. They had no
desire to gain an unfair advantage, though practically
the hands of the Commission wero tied until a decision
in the injunction suits could be obtained on appeal.
They were willing to meet the Commission more than
half way. As the new rate schedules have not
been published yet, it is not possible to state the
precise extent of the concessions made bv the car
riers. As far as can be learned they conceded about
everything in their desire to promote harmony and
good feeling, ft appears that they only asked such
rate* as would allow them to earn 5 per cent more
than they were earning at the time the injunction
suits were (lied. The Austin correspondent of the
Galveston ‘ Newa ' states it is not certain under the
rates finally agreed upon that tho additional 5 per
cent can be earn" T—>b-»t. indeed, it is estimated 3
349
per cent would be nearer the mark. Yet one of the
Commissioners, Mayfield by name, held out against
the compromise. Wo should think he must feel
ashamed in view of the moderate demands of the
carriers.
Though the Texas roads apparently gain very little,
the effect must nevertheless be beneficial. A new
principle has been established in the dealings between
the roads and the Commission, and it is fair to assume
that this method will be continued in the future, thus
avoiding much friction and unnecessary strife. The
settlement is also advantageous from another stand
point. It must tend to raise the roads in public esti
mation. and thus remove some of the popular prejudice
against them. As Chairman Reagan well says, litigation
has already engendered much passion between the
people and the carriers, and a continuance of the liti
gation would have meant a continuance and aggrava
tion of tlys strife, to the great injury of all. The in
terests, convenience and prosperity of the Texas peo
ple are promoted by the existence of the railroads,
and the roads in turn are dependent on the people
for ftheir necessary revenues. Neither can prosper
without the concurrent action of the other. Their
relations and inter-dependence demand fairness and
good will on both sides. This is tho spirit that has
guided the Commission in agreeing to a compromise,
Mr. Reagan asserts. It is to be hoped the same spirit
will control its courso in the future. If it does, a new
era will dawn for the Texas roads.
Money has shown an increased discriminating, if
not hardening, tendency this week. On call, repre
senting bankers’ balances, it has still loaned on good
Stock Exchange collateral at 2 per cent and at 3 per
cont during the week, with considerable transactions
at 2$ per cont, the bulk of the business being at2$ per
cent and the average a little over 2$ per cent. Banks
and trust companies at the close quote 2j per cent as
the minimum, many loaning at 3 per cent. Tno offer
ings of time money on Stock Exchange collateral are
liberal and the demand is good. Rates are 3 per cent
for sixty to ninety days and 3J per cent for four to
six months. Where industrial stocks, in moderate
amounts, are included in the collateral, from 1 per
cent to l i per cont higher rates than those above
quoted arc demanded. Some lenders have absolutely
refused this week to loan upon such industrials as
have been sharply advanced through manipulation.
Commercial paper is in good demand from all
quarters, while the supply is slowly increasing,
though there is no accumulation of good names.
Rates are 3 per cent for sixty to ninety day endorsed
bills receivable, 3J@4 per cent for prime and 4@5
per cent for good four to six months’ single names.
Banks report a good demand for money from their
correspondents, chiefly from near-by cities and the
West, which is partly required to be met by direct
shipments of gold. The supply of currency in the
Treasury is so low that no transfers are made, and it
is regarded as improbable that tho supply of currency
will soon increase. Those banks having large corre
spondence report that business conditions generally
are improving. At Boston money is a little firmer,
though a correspondent notes the sale of an $800,000
eight months’ municipal note at 2‘80 per cent to a
Chicago buyer.

The foreign exchange market has been moderately
active this week and the tone has been reported
strong. The supply of bills is stated to be limited
and bankers note that the offerings of commercial
drafts are exceedingly small, notwithstanding the ex
port movement of staples is free. The current liberal
shipments will, it is likely, result in a better supply
early next week. The range for nominal rates for
exchange has been from 4 83£ to 4 84 for sixty day
and from 4 86| to 4 87 for sight, though the majority
of the drawers posted the higher figures. Rates
for actual business opened on Monday unchanged
compared with those at the close on Friday
of last week, at 4 84@4 841 for long, 4 8G@4 861
for short and 4 86J@4 87 for cables. The tone
was firm and the demand was good, especially
for short sterling. On the following day the only
change in rates for actual business was an advance in
short of one-quarter of a cent, to 4 861@4 861, long
sterling and cables remaining firm. Wednesday was
a holiday. On Thursday there was an advance in
rates for actual business of one quarter of a cent all
around, to 4 841@4 841 for long, 4 86£@4 86f- for short
and 4 87@4 871 for cables, and the market closed
strong with a good demand for remittance and a
limited supply of bills. The tone was firm on Friday.
The following shows daily posted rates for exchange
by some of the leading drawers.

F R A N C E A N D IT S N E W PR E S ID E N T .
Almost exactly two weeks ago, critics of French
institutions pronounced that the Government was
passing through another serious crisis, and that the
situation was gravely discouraging
The position of
affairs was certainly peculiar, and even to the friends
of France perplexing. A t the very moment, appar
ently, when the malicious attack of M. Quesnay de
Beaurepaire on the Court of Cassation had spent its
force on public sentiment, the Dupuy Ministry intro
duced a bill to withdraw the Dreyfus case from the
criminal division of the court, where by law its con
sideration belonged, and refer it to the full court,
civil and criminal— a body of some forty-six members.
There were several very obvious inferences to be
drawn from such a move. The full court had not
examined the documents or witnesses in the petition
for a rehearing; therefore a prolonged delay in the
decision would be involved. The section of the court
in whose hands the matter had been placed was known
to have decided on revision; the full court had not;
therefore the change in jurisdiction might mean a
decision against reopening the case. But, still more
important in its moral and political bearing, the prop
osition to withdraw the case from the criminal court
was obviously an admission that M. de Beaurepaire’ s
charges had disqualified that court from passing on
the Dreyfus case. In other words, the bill, if passed,
would be tantamount to official declaration that the
charge of improper conduct and motives on the part
of the judges was well founded. This inference was
formally disavowed by the Ministry; but in such mat
ters other people judge for themselves.
The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, to
whom the bill was referred, acted very creditably.
They reported to the Chamber, in positive language,
that they had investigated M. de Beaurepaire’s
charges against the Court of Cassation, and had found
them either wholly baseless or wholly frivolous. They
therefore recommended that the bill to withdraw the
Dreyfus case from that branch of the judiciary be re
jected. A very surprising result ensued. In spite of
the fact that the Committee was thought to speak for
a possible majority in the Chamber, the Premier, M.
Dupuy, formally announced that the bill would be

are given share for share of Southern Pacific stock
and 25 per cent of Collateral Trust 4 per cents. As
to the value of Southern Pacific stock, that company
in the late year showed a surplus above charges and
expenses of *4,122,602. E v e n after deducting *1,299,258 spent for betterments and additions, the surplus
was $2,823,344. The Central Pacific surplus for the
same twelve months, to be added to this, was $1,561,464. But as against the latter there is the increase
in charges to be taken into account.
Central Pacific’s own charges, we have seen, will be
increased only $135,095. The interest on the Collat
eral Trust bonds of the Southern Pacific will of
course be an entirely new charge.
The plan, as
already remarked, provides altogether for $36,819,000
of these bonds, but only $28,819,000 will be required
at present— $16,819,000 being given to Central Pacific
shareholders and $12,000,000 being sold to the syndi
cate. On this $28,819,000 of bonds the annual interest charge will be $1,152,760, but that will be offset
by the $690,000 income (roughly) on the securities in
the Central Pacific sinking funds, making a net in
crease of $462,760, which, added to the $135,095
increase in the Central Pacific’s own charges,
gives an aggregate augmentation in charges of
$597,855. Deducting this from the $1,561,464 surplus
for the Central Pacific, as above, we have $963,609 to
be added to the Southern Pacific’ s own surplus of
$2,823,344. making a total of $3,786,953. That is to
»ay, the new charges when applied to last year’s earn
ings show a surplus in the sum of over 3f million dol
lars after the expenditure of 14 million dollars ($1,299,258 by the Southern Pacific and $162,250 by the
Central Pacific) for betterments and additions. Of
•ourse the aggregate of Southern Pacific stock will be
increased. A t present the total is $121,070,810; the
amount issuable against Central Pacific shares will
add $67,275,500, and $10,118,184 is issuable against the
stocks of Southern Pacific proprietary roads not yet
exchanged, bringing the total up to $198,464,494.

FOR C A L E N D A R FE A R .
Soon after the close of 1898 ( C h r o n i c l e o f January
14 1899) we published a statement showing the course
of the gross earnings of United States railroads for
the late calendar year. It revealed very clearly the
fact that the year had been all through one of growth
and expansion in railroad revenues, and that the
aggregate amount of the gain had reached very large
proportions. To-day we present a compilation cov
ering gross and net, enabling the reader to see what
proportion and what amount of the gain in gross has
been saved and thus added to the net. The general
aggregates for the twelve months of 1898 and 1897
are furnished in the following:

and we would refer the reader to that article for in

every way a most noteworthy one, and is distinguished
as no other recent period for the magnitude and ex

noted between the two years, In 1898 the roads were
much more liberal in their expenditures, so that a
smaller proportion of the gain in gross appears as a
gain in the net. Thus in 1897, with 55 million dol
lars addition to the gross, the addition to the net
was almost 36 miUion dollars, while in 1898, with
674 million dollars addition to the gross, the addition
to the net has been not quite 22 million dollars. The
following presents the comparisons for a series of
years. The improvement dates back to 1895, though
in 1896 the onward march was for the time being ar
rested by the renewed agitation of the silver ques
tion and the fighting out of the Presidential cam
paign on that issue.

There was one other particular in which 1898 dif
fered from 1897. In 1897 substantially the entire
improvement, large as it was, occurred in the last six
months, as we pointed out in our review a year ago.
In 1898, on the other hand, the improvement was
nearly all made in the first six months. Our halfyear’s statement published in the issue of August 27
showed $51,151,016 increase in gross and $17,820,828
increase in net for the six months to June 30,
while now on a mileage somewhat larger we have
$67,587,893 increase in gross and $21,994,655 increase
in net for the full twelve months to December 31.
During the last half of the year the further additions
to gross and net were comparatively light. This be
comes strikingly evident when we consider the sep
arate months by themselves. The explanation, how
ever, is very simple. The last six months we were
comparing with heavily improved results for the pre
vious year, thus leaving correspondingly less room
for new additions.

Thus the foregoing serves to confirm and empha

to afford new evidence of the very favorable charac

As far as the separate roads are concerned, we have
some striking gains for the twelve months in both
gross and net. On the other hand the losses are not
numerous. Those for large amounts come mainly
from three classes of roads, namely the trunk lines,
where the rate situation was so demoralized,
the anthracite coal roads, which suffered from
the unsatisfactory condition of the anthracite
trade, and some of the New England roads
like the Boston & Maine and the Boston & Albany,
which presumably were adversely affected by the fact
that such leading industries as the cotton goods trade,
the woolen goods trade and the leather trade did
not participate in the business revival till towards
the close of the year.
The following shows all
changes, whether losses or gains, in excess of $200,000.

With reference to the exhibit for the month of De
cember, considered by itself, the improvement is
much heavier than for most of the other months back
to last June. The increase is $4,848,477 or 6’75 per
cent in the gross, and *1,630,709 or 6’90 per cent in
the net. This comes, too, after very striking im
provement in the year preceding—$8,019,844 in the
gross and $3,801,326 in the net. The following car

STREET RAILWAYS AND TRACTION COMPANIES.
The following table shows the gross earnings tor the latest
period of all s t r e e t railways from which we are able to ob
tain weekly or monthly returns. The arrangement of the

first two columns of figures give the gross earnings for the
latest week or month, and the last two columns the earnings
for the calendar year from January 1 to and including such
latest week or month.

Street Railway Net Garuiags.—la the following we show
both the gross and the net earnings to latest dates of all Street
railways from which we have been able to procure monthly
returns. As in the oase of the steam roads, the returns of the
different roads are published by us each week as soon as re
ceived, and once a month (on the third or the fourth Satur
day of the month) we bring all the roads reporting together,
as is done to-day.

(R eport f o r year ending Dec. 31, 1898.)
President Minary says in part:
The business of the company, so far as the receipts and operating
expenses are concerned, has been satisfactory, showing an increase
over the previous year, but this was more thau consumed by the
amount we have been obliged to charge to meet back taxes, which
were assessed against the company, after the same had been paid as
required by the contract, between the company and the city. We
have had under consideration for some weeks past a compromise of
the back taxes with the city authorities, bub as yet we have come to
no agreement.
DariDg the year various improvements have been made.

justment Plan—Control o f Stock —G uaranty. —Under date
of Feb. 8, 1899, Messrs. .Speyer & Co. and their associates
have prepared a plan for the’ thorough readjustment of the
finances of the Central Paeifio RR. Co. The plan contem
plates the acquisition of a controlling interest in the stock by
the Southern Pacific Co. and immediately thereupon the guar
anteeing by that company of the bonds of two new Central
Pacific issues.
As stated last week, a settlement has been negotiated with
the United States Government of its claim against the com
pany, per agreement dated Feb. 1, 1899. The balance of the
indebtedness due to the United States, as of Feb. 1, 1899, as
therein stated, amounted, principal and interest, to $58,812,715 48, which is to be evidenced by twenty 3 per cent notes
of the Central Pacific RR. Co. falling due one every six
months, beginning Aug. 1, 1899, to be secured by an equal
amount of new first refunding morteage 4s. Messsrs. Speyer
& Co. have agreed to purchase $11,762,543 of said notes
earliest maturing, Aug. 1, 1899, to Feb. 1, 1901, so that the
amount of said first refunding mortgage 4s to be retained as
collateral by the United States will be $47,056,000.
In order to create these new first refunding mortgage gold
bonds, it is proposed promptly to readj ust the financial affairs
of the railroad company, and for this purpose the following
is now promulgated. A syndicate has been formed to pro
vide all the cash requirements under the plan.
New Securities.—The plan provides for the creation of the
following new securities:

The London Shareholders’ Committee, F. G. Banbury,
Esq., Chairman, representing a majority of the outstanding
shares, has agreed to the purchase of said stock by the South
ern Pacific Co., and has deposited the shares with the Read
justment Managers under the plan of readjustment.
Guaranty, when to be endorsed.—The Southern Pacific
Company agrees that upon delivery to it of $12,000,000 of
new preferred stock and at least 377,194 shares of the 672,755
shares of common stock of the Railroad Company, it will
simultaneously guarantee unconditionally by endorsement
the payment of the principal and interest of the first refund
ing mortgage 4 per cent gold bonds and of the
ptr cent
mortgage gold bonds.
Position o f Reorganized C om pany. —A circular shows
that under the plan the Central Pacific Company's fixed
charges will aggregate $4,875,000. On the 4 per cents held
by the Government, however, there will be a saving of 1 per
cent per annum until Feb. 1, 1901, or abont $470,000 annu
ally, while the Central Pacific sinking funds will earn about
8695,000, making the net charges $3,710,000. The Southern
Pacific charges will be increased by the interest on $28,819,000new bonds, or $1,153,760, making the total net annual in
terest charge on account of the Central Pacific $4,862,760, as
against $4,269,905 for the year en ing June 30, 1898, or an
increase of $592,855. Against this increase there was a sur
plus on the Central Pacific for the last year, after charging
all betterments to earnings, of $1,551,463, and a surplus on
the Southern Pacific of $2,823,344, a total of $4,384,807.
The Southern Pacific’s present stock is $121,070,810 ; issu
able agaiust Central Pacific stock $67,275,500; issuable
against stocks of proprietary companies not yet exchanged
$10,118,184; making a total stock issue of $198,461,494.—See
farther particulars in advertising columns.
“ It thus appears that the fixed charges of the new com
pany on completion of the readjustment will be well within
the past net income of the property. It is estimated that
pnder the readjustment upwards of $4,500,000 cash will be
provided, which will be immediately available for improve
ments on the properties of the Railroad Company.”
Deposits.— Participation under the plan of readjustment
in any respect whatsoever is dependent upon the deposit of
securities with Speyer & Co. of New York the depositary, or
their associates, within the required time. Bonds must carry
all coupons maturing after Feo. 1, 1899.
To facilitate the carrying out of the plan holders
of certificates of deposit issued under bondholders' agree
ment dated Aug. 14, 1897, representing Central Pacific first
mortgage bonds, series A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I should
present their certificates at the offices of any of the readjust
ment managers to be stamped as assenting to the plan.
Holders who do not withdraw their bonds prior to March 23
will be held to have assented. Any holder desiring to accept
cash rather than the new securities mn3t present his secur
ities of deposit to be stamped accordingly on or before March
23, 1899.
Similarly, holders of certificates of deposit issued under
bondholders’ agreement dated Oct. 1, 1896, representing Cen
tral Pacific fifty-year 5 per cent mortgage bonds, due April
1, 1939, should present their certificates for stamping.
Securities Sold.—Speyer & Co. announce that, as syndicate
managers, they have sold all of the uew Central Pacific
and Southern Pacific bonds which the syndicate agreed to
take under the Central Pacific readjustment plan. Of the
aforesaid bonds $3,000,000 of the $12,000,000 Southern Pacific

GENERAL REMARKS.
0 026
There were no charges to Capital Account during the
year. The last certi6cates of Series G of the Pennsylvania
Equipment Trust having matured and been paid during the
year, 500 long gondolas which had been purchased under its
terms now form a portion of your regular equipment. Fur
ther progress was made under the provisions of the Inter
state Commerce legislation in equipping vo;r freight cars
with air brakes and automatic couplers.
The work of renewing the bridges and trestles was further
continued on the various divisions, 1,365 feet of steel and
other permanent bridges being substituted for lighter struc
tures. The most important renewals were on the Elmira
and Canandaigua divisions, where 3 steel deck and half
through girder bridges, respectively 191, 196 and 257 feet in
length, were substituted for Howe truss bridges
There was a net increase of l -78 miles in Company tracks
and sidings. There were 6,826 tons of new steel rails and
213,568 ties used in repairs and renewals, and additional
sections were ballasted with stone and cinder.
Eight locomotives having been sold or condemned were
replaced by standard power. Two passenger coaches were
replaced by combined passenger and baggage cars, and
another car of the same class rebuilt. There were 169
freight and 8 cabin cars built to replace vacant numbers,
and the equipment was increased through the Car Trust
arrangement already referred to.
While there was an increased movement of tonnage, the
receipts therefrom, owing to the reduction in rates, show a
decrease of 8162,866 06; but the passenger traffic shows a
material increase in revenue, or §94,519 48. The expenses
F e b r u a r y 25, 1889 J
THE CHRONICLE
were practicallv the same as for the preceding year, the in
creased outlay In conducting transportation and mainte
nance of equipment having been almost offset by the reduc
tion in the cost of maintenance of way.
In accordance with the terms of the Consolidated Gen
eral Mortgage, the amount of bonds outstanding thereunder
was reduced by the drawing, July 1st, 1898, through the
operation of the Sinking Fund, of $147,009of Series A and B.
The steady growth of Baltimore makes it necessary that
your terminal facilities should keep pace with the increased
traffic, and for the purpose of partially providing for the
outlay thus required, and other purposes, the Board lias
deemed it wise to set aside out of your income the sum of
$300,000, as stated in the early portion of this report. The
freight warehouse at Bolton is now being extended to ac
commodate the produce business, and the necessary dredg
ing is in progress at Canton to secure thirty feet of water
at the piers and thus accommodate the largest class of steam
ships.
Dividends amounting to 7 per cent were paid during the
year and a considerable surplus was carried to the credit of
Profit and Loss.
Tne United States Supreme Court having decided that
under the terms of the Anti-Trust Act the agreement of
November 19th, 1895, providing for the establishment and
maintenance of the Joint Traffic Association, to which your
Company was a party, was illegal, the same has been
formally canceled and abrogated.
Mr. Daniel S. Newhall was appointed Purchasing Agent.
June 1st, 1898, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Mr. A. YV. Sumner in the early part of the vear.
Mr. George W. Creighton was appointed General Superin
tendent, January 1st, 1898. vice Mr. John M. Wallis, pro
moted to be General Superintendent of the Main Line of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
It gives the Board pleasure to acknowledge the zeal and
fidelity of the various officers and employes in the discharge
of their duties during the past year.

COMMERCIAL
EPITOME.
February 24, 1899.
The interruption^ to business by the storm as noted last
week has been wholly removed ; in fact for the period under
review there has been decided activity to the trading. The
receipt of delayed orders in additim to the usual run of
trade has resulted in quite a free movement of merchandise
in many lines of goods. Reports as to the conditions existing
in the iron and steel trades have been of an especially encour
aging nature; demand has been on a decidedly- extensive
scale with prices steadily advancing. The reports received
from Manila have been of an unfavorable nature, showing a
determined effort on the part of the insurgents to resist the
efforts of the American troops to put down the insurrection.
Lard on the spot has had a fair sale but it has been at
lower prices. The close was steady at .r00c. for prime West
ern and .Vide. for prime City. Refined lard has continued to
meet with a fair sale, but prices have been lower. The close
was steady at 5 80c. for refined for the Continent, Specula
tion in the market for contracts was fairly active. Early in
the week, under aggressive selling by packers, prices declined.
Subsequently, however, on buying by shorts to cover con
tracts and light receipts of swine, part of the loss was
recovered. The close was steady.

have been firm.
Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been moder

investment account has been on a small scale only, and the
outside Interest shown in the market has dwindled to small
proportions. There has been, however, moderate buying by

crease in the visible supply of wheat, small world’s ship
ment to Europe for the previous week, the receipt of crop
d«n ige reports from the winter-wheat belt and predictions
of the return of cold weather in the West. The export
demand has been spasmodic, and for the week
only a limited volume of business has been transacted.
Clearances of wheat and flour from the seaboard during the
week have been fairly large and this bag had its influence in
favor of values. Crop accounts from California have con

Indian corn futures have been moderately active, and there
has been a Blight hardening of prices. A large movement of
the crop has been a depressing feature, but buying by shorts
to cover contracts and sympathy with the advance in wheat
values has had a strengthening influence. At the close ad
vices from the West predicted a falling off in the receipts,
and this, together with the strength of the spot market, gave
a better tone to the situation. The spot market has been
moderately active. Offerings for early shipment have been

steady. Overcoatings and cloakings continue quiet without
material change. Staple worsted dress goods are firm; other
descriptions quiet and barely steady. Blankets in fair re
quest but flannels dull.

Oats for future delivery at the West were lower early in
the week, under fairly free offerings, prompted by a large
crop movement and an expected material increase in the vis
ible supply. Subsequeatly, however, following the upward
treDd to values for other grains, prices advanced. Buying
by shorts to cover contracts also served to strengthen the
market, as did the report that reserves in farmers’ hands
were small. The spot market has been quiet but steady.
To-day the market was steady.

TRADE.
P. M., February 24, 1899.
The cotton goods division of the market has shown
increased strength during the week, advances in prices being
reported in nearly all descriptions. The demand has not
been on a generous scale, but it has, nevertheless, been
greater than sellers have cared to accomodate, and bids for a
considerable qiantity of merchandise have been turned
down. Stocks are limited in the aggregate and absolutely
cleaned up in a number of quarters with production
still sold ahead for some time to come. There are
reports of mills resorting freely to over-time, but of this the
market reflects no evidence in the shape of fuller unsold sup
plies coming forward. The print cloth situation grows
stronger each week. Since last report there has been an
advance of '4c. in regular cloths, with no disposition to sell
forward at the improvement. The jobbing trade is rt cover
ing from the effects of last week’s storm, and distribution
from second hands is ag in on a liberal scale. The woolen
goods situation does not show any improvement, results this
week, in fact, being a disappointment in men’s-wear fabrics.
W oolen G oods —Although there has been a good attend
ance of buyers in this division of the market, the week’s re
sult have been disappointing in volume. Clothiers and
others instead of extending their operations as expected have
shown increased conservatism, and with few exceptions have
restricted their purchases of new lines of men’s wear heavy

Chnrnbusco, Ind.—B ow ie Illegal.— Judge Adair, it is
stated, recently ruled that this town has exceeded its 2< limit
of indebtedness in building the water works and electric
light plant, which will now revert to the contractor.
Grand Ledge, Mich.— L itig a tio n .- In reference to the litif ation (mentioned in last week’s Chronicle) over the water
onds issued in 189(5, a correspondent writes ns as follows :
“This sait was brought by oueof our clients, and we are more
or less familiar with same, and are very certain that th ere is
no question of legality of the issue. In fact it is only an at
tempt to bloff holders of the 63! village water bonds to accepts
bond on the statement ol the Councilmen that there is some
irregularity in the original issue. The whole matter is the
work of a Councilman who has Populistic ideas in his head
and thinks a city should only pay 5* interest on its bonds
after agreeing to pay daring the panic of 1-9*3, when they
could not get the money at a better rate."
Pierce County (Wash.) School District No. 10.— Litiga
tion .—Sait has been brought in the State supreme Conrt by
a Mr. Buell against tnis district to recover $l,‘lC0, repre
sented by a certified check which accompanied a bid of
Edw. C. Jones Co., New York, for $110,000 bonds in March,
1898, which bid was accepted. The bid of the New York
firm was on the condition that the bonds when issued should
be a legal and binding obligation of the district. As the
case brings np several points of especial Interest, we give its
history as reported to us by a well-informed Tacoma corres
pondent :
