as to the probable allotments o f the bonds. On Thurs­
day Brown Bros, advanced their rates soon after the
opening half a cent for both long and short,
and rates for actual business were moved upward
one quarter of a cent for the asking price for long to
4 8ffj!§14 874, one quarter of a cent for short to 4 88@
4 88$ and one quarter of a cent for cable transfers to
4 88J@4 88|. There wa3 a good demand for remit­
tance. Yesterday tbe Canadian Bank of Commerce re­
duced its sight rate half a cent, and there was als> a
redaction of a quarter o f a cent in the rates for actual
business in sight and cable transfers. The close was
easy.

Thus the market value of the share sales in January
1896 was roughly 250 million dollars, against 192 mil­
lion dollars in January 1895. A large part of the
Stock Exchange business, as is known, is not cleared
through the banks.
The Illinois Central for December reports $343,668
gain in gross and $209,670 gain in net; the Burlington

The chief significance of this week's bond sale con­
sists in the state of public opinion it indicates. No
one anticipated such a marvelously long list and heavy
aggregate of bids at so high an average price. T o oonsc’ue the strikingly favorable response to the offer as a
mere indication of faith in the Government credit
would be a mistake. Of course it is good evidence of
that. But it means much more. Capital does not
come forward in this free way excapt in case of a great
emergency deeply and widely realized. Its habit is
timidity, and such cordiality and eagerness on such an
occasion— so like the devotion and enthusiasm shown
in the North in the earlier stages of the late
war— sigaify
not only
faith
in the
credit
of the Government,
but
a
determination
to
defend
that credit at all hazards against the
direct and indirect attacks which have been made
and are being made to-day to weaken and injure it.
Moreover the wholesale character of the response ap­
pears to be nothing less than a proclamation of the
business public declaratory of their deep interest in the
correction of our financial derangement. And may we
not add that it virtually notifies politicians everywhere,
in and out of office, who are acting under the belief
that their party is to be benefitted this year by neglect­
ing currency reform, coquetting with silver, and wrest­
ling with trifles, that they had better re-cast their di
agnosis.
But passing that phase of the transaction the ch ief
question is how will the successful placing of the loan
affect business prospects. As this bond sale is for
twice the amount of any previous one, the natural in­
ference is that other things being equal it ought to do
more than double the service. Speaking in a general
way then no doubt the presumption is that the influ­
ence will be of a very favorable character. During the
last three months, and especially in January, there has
been a decided contraction in the volume of business,,
not only in reference to previous months but also with
reference to last year and ordinary years. This has
been shown in our figures of clearings, though they
reflect not immediately but slowly any decline in trans­
actions, and yet for the last four weeks the shrinkage
in the totals has been noteworthy. Indeed, for the
week ending February 1 1896 the total clearings ag­
gregated at all points only $931,402,541, against a
total December 7 1895 of $1,231,009,243, comparing
also with (February 1 1895) a total of $1,003,000,000
and $1,374,000,000 for the week ending February 11893.
The Government internal revenue receipts are more
quickly affected, and they show only $11,041,000 in
January against $12,751,000 in Decemoer, $13,040,000 in November and $13,764,000 in October. A c o r -

THE CHRONICLE.

Another particular in which the conditions are more
favorable than existed a year ago is the state of our
industries.
We need not enlarge upon this p n n t
because bankers and merchants as a class know the
facts. For the first seven months of 1895 we had
almost nothing to export, so that trade was heavily
against u s; this fiscal year exports beginning with
October and since then have been and promise
for months to continue to be largely in excess of the
previous year. In February 1895 the railroads our
largest reproductive agents— were still decreasing their
already [small earnings. Now the increases are phe­
nomenal. A year ago our industries had not started
up again; now our factories are running, our foun­
dries are in full blast, and labor is much better em­
ployed. We have lost ground since October but to­
day we start with better prospects everywhere.

&

The income statement of the Chicago & North
Western for the calendar year 1895 affords a pleasing
and a noteworthy contras; with that for the calendar
year 1894. -Indeed, the change is so decided and strik­
ing that one would hardly have thought such a com­
plete transform ition possible within so short a time.
Certainly, considering how unfavorable the prospect was
at the opening of 1895 the result now disclosed is ex­
ceedingly gratifying.
The circumstance illustrates anew not only the great
recuperative power of this large and well-managed
property, but of railroads generally in the United States.
Under trade depression or a crop failure losses are
often of enormous extent, but these losses are quickly
ecovered as soon as normal conditions are restored. In
the present instance the highly encouraging showing
made does not come wholly as a surprise, for though
the Chicago & North Western does not furnish monthly
returns of its net earnings, it does furnish returns
of the gross, and these latter have in recent months
been showing very striking improvement, the gaius
ranging all the way from $500,000 to $871,000 a
month.
The great contrast between the two years will appear
when we say that for 1895 the statement which we
have secured shows five million dollars ($5,035,221)
earned for the stock, whereas for 1894 the exhibit,
made up in the same way, showed only two million
dollars earned for the stock. It will be remembered
that in January last year the company, after haviDg
paid 6 per cent on its common stock for many years,
reduced the semi-annual dividend from 3 per cent to
24 per cent, and in July made a further reduction to
14 per cent. It will also be remembered that this
year in January the dividend has been enlarged
again to 24 per cent. The figures we have obtained
demonstrate that the present increase is as clearly justi­
fied as was the previous decrease.
If we look for the causes for the great change we
shall find that there have been three factors of large
and controlling importance affecting favorably the
year’ s outcome. (1) There has been a marked and
continued revival of industrial activity, which has
gained force as the year progressed, and in which all
sections of the country and all classes o f roads have
shared. (2) The crops of 1895 have been excellent
and of unusual extent, particularly in spring wheat
and coin, while the crops of 1894 were almost a com­

loss.
Goi <g into the details we d is o v e r that f i r the
twelvemonths of 1895 the gross earnings were $ 3 1 ,558,629, against $29,119,362 for the twelve months of
1894, roughly an increase of 24 million dollars. In
1893 the amount of the gross earnings had been $12,472,219, and in that year the operations of the Milwaukee
Lake Shore & Western had been included in only the
last four months, while in 1892 the aggregate was $32,821,689 and then the Lake Shore & Western was not
included at all. But these comparisons are interesting
oni'3 as showing that notwithstanding the great in ­
crease in 1895 the totals had by no means got b ick to
the maximum of previous years, thus indicating
the room there is for still further im provement.
In the net earnings the 1895 total is larger than that of
other recent years. This follows from the fact that
expenses were the lowes; of any year since 189L. H ere
is a summary of the income statements of the last four
years.

From the foregoing it appears that there is a surplus

above the dividends for 1895 of $1,909,505, against a
deficiency below the dividends ia 1894 of $1,656,998.
It is proper to state that in 1895 the dividends on the
com i on stock were only 4 per cant while in 1894 the
payments were 54 per cent; in the years preceding
the rate had been 6 per cent. On the basis of 54
per cent in 1895 as well as in 1894, the surplus
for 1895 would be $1,323,889, against the $1,656,998
deficit for 1894. As already pointed out, the ag­
gregate available for dividends in 1895 was $5,035,221, against only $2,054,334 in 1894.
Tne call
for the 7 per cent dividends on the preferred stock
is $1,563,450, and if we take to il out the balance fo r
the common stock stands at $3,471,771 in 1895, against
but $490,884 in 1894— that is, seven times as great. In
brief, in 1895 nearly 9 per cent was earned on the com ­
mon shares, while in 1894 the amount was but little
over 1 per cent.
We have noted that the increase in gross earnings for
the year (over 1894) was roughly 24 million dollars.
But in the first five months there had been a decrease
of about a million dollars. It follows that in the last
seven months the increase amounted to nearly 34 mil-

per month. In the net earnings the increase for the
last seven months was 12,227,267— out of a total increase
in net- of 12,796,193 for the twelve months. The de­

and the ore shipments are concerned the developments
this week in connection with the bond subscription
vyouid seem to make it certain that both items of ton­
nage will be large, for the event mentioned promises
to keep general trade and the iron industry as well in
a state of activity. Furthermore, the fact that the
winter has been an open one, while that of 1895 was a
very severe one, counts as an influence in favor of im ­
proved net results.
Unless something unforeseen
occurs it seems ro t unlikely that for the five months of
1898 there will be no deficiency at all in the amount
of earnings required for the half-year’s dividends, leav­
ing the surplus of #3,091,357 (above the dividends) far
the seven months as the surplus for the year also.
Altogether, therefore, the outlook now is that the fiscal
year 1895-6 will be one of the very best in the com ­
pany’s history.

THE CHK0N1CLE.

We think it would be highly unfortunate to have
the Commission hereafter act in accordance with these
views. N o ore will contend that the members of the
Commission should travel ov^r the country acting the
part of spies against the railroads, but thelaw makes rate­
cutting a crime, and it is as much the Commission's duty
to see that this provision of the statute is observed as any
other. There is to-day no more insidious and crying
evil— none more harmful to shippers and threatening
to the roads— than rate-cutting, and it would be a mis­
fortune for the Commission to fail to address itself to
the task of correcting it as far as the means within its
power permit. Such a policy would render the act
valueless in the one particular in which it is capable of
accomplishing the most good.

ATCHISON’S REPORT OF EARNINGS
DISCONTINUED.

to secure current returns of earnings on this side o f
the Atlantic.
In the Atchison case there are special reasons why
the weekly returns should be continued. Tne company
has just been reorganized, and the experience of both
stock and bond holders in the property has been very
unfortunate. The shareholders have had to pay an
assessment of $10 ‘00 a share, and even after that pay­
ment find their stock selling only a few dollars above the
amount of the assessment. Moreover up to the end of
December earnings had been falling much below expect­
ations. The owners of the property are very much inter­
ested to know whether in the current year the earnings
have been improving, and to enable them to obtain the
knowledge speedily and promptly the weekly returns
(affording the best forecast of the results that can be
given) are in the highest degree essential.
In part the poor exhibits the latter part of 1895 were
due to the heavy losses on the Texas lines, on account
of the short cotton crop in that S tate. Are earnings
there stilj fillin g behind ? Again, the corn crop the late
season along the lines of the system wa3 of unusual
extent. H is that crop begun to move; it might add sev­
eral hundred thousand dollars a moath to the earnings
of the system if it has.
On all these points thesecurity
holders are left in donbt becanse of the new policy
inaugurated. In fact, if they have to wait for the
monthly statements of gross a n ! net, they will know
absolutely nothing about the earnings f >r January until
the latter part of this month or the beginning of
March.
In view of all this we cannot believe that the mana­
gers will adhere to their determination to discontinue
the weekly exhibits. As is known, the securities are
largely held in Europe, and there the step will be sure
to create a bid impression.
It is to be hoped there­
fore that the action will be reconsidered.

No statements of earnings o f the Atchison Topeka
& Santa Fe have been published since the l3t of Jan u ­
ary, and it is announced that the practice of making
weekly returns is to be discontinued— that hereafter
the company will give out only monthly statements of
gross and net, to be issued when the results for the
month have been finally audited- We cannot help
feeling that this is a step backward and has nothing
to recommend it.
The tendency of the times is towards fuller and
earlier in'ormation: but the Atchison managers
propose that information which has beeu regularly
given the security holders for years shall now be
withheld from them. We can think of no reason
or excuse for the change. T o be sure the weekly re­
turns are only approximations, and are subject to co r­
rection and revision when the accounts are audited.
But this is well understood and these returns never
theless fam ish a pretty accurate guide to the course of
earnings. The returns are compiled anyway for the

concerned New York exhibits an increase of 10 6 per cent,
and the gains at other points are : Boston 4 per cent, Fhil

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—'Two facts
of importance were emphasized by the bids for the new
Government loan which were opened on Wednesday. First,
that the people of the United States generally believe that
the Government will not pay its indebtedness with a coin
worth only fifty cents on the dollar. Second, that there is a
large amount of money in the country seeking investment.
These facts are not new, but the publicity which is now
given to them will doubtless have a good effect in all finan­
cial and commercial circles, both in this country and in
Europe.
Wall street has been chiefly interested during the week in
the bond bids and their effect upon the money, security and
exchange markets. Now that the bids have been announced
business in the Street will no doubt assume more normal
conditions. Already the market for railway bonds and
stocks is more active and buoyant, and the money market is
easier and rates are reduced.
A prominent feature of the week is the activity of Govern­
ment bonds, and an advance of the coupon 4s from 113 on
Monday to 116% on Thursday. The sales of these bonds at
the Board to-day amount to $375,000 and they close at 116,%.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2% to 8 per
cent. To-day’s rates on call were 3% to 7 per cent. Prime
commercial paper is quoted at 6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
showed an increase in bullion of £381,410, and the per­
centage of reserve to liabilities was 68'40, against 63'15 last
week; the discount rate remains unchanged at 3 per cent.
The Bank of France shows an increase of 2,075,000 francs in
gold and 2,200,000 francs in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of Feb. 1 showed an increase in the reserve held of $2,121,500
and a surplus over the required reserve of $39,623,400, against
$37,678,500 the previous week.

Foreign Exchange.—Foreign exchange was dull and weak
on a limited volume of business until Thuvsday, when a more
active demand gave a firmer tone to the market. The Gov­
ernment bond issue is likely to be an important factor in the
foreign exchange market for some time to come.
To-day’s actual rates of exchange were as follows: Bankers’
sixty days’ sterling, 4 86%@4 87; demand, 4 87%@4 88;
cables, 4 88@4 88%.

State and Railroad Bonds.—Sales of State bonds at the
Board include $15,000 Virginia fund, debt 2-3s of 1991 at 60%
to 61%; $1,500 Tenn. settlement 3s (small) at 81; $10,000 No.
Carolina con. 4s at 103% and $1,000 Louisiana con. 4s at 99.
The railway bond market lias been strong but dull, bond
buyers being chiefly interested in Government issues. Rail­
way traffic returns continue to be generally more satis­
factory than those of the corresponding period last
year, although corn is being held back. There have been
few developments this week affecting any particular bonds.
The active list in which advances o f from 1 to 2% per cent
have been common include the Atchisons, Ches. & Ohio,
Chic. & No. Pac., Louisville N. A. & Chic., Mo. Kan. &
Texas, N. Y. Sus. & West., No. Pacific, Ore. Short Line,
Ore. Improvement, Reading, St. Louis Southwest., Southern
Ry., Texas & Pacific, U. P. Den. & Gulf, U. S. Cordage,
Wabash and Wis. Central bonds.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—Stocks were gener­
ally weak on Monday, chiefly because there were few pur­
chasers. The vote in the United States Senate on the freecoinage amendment to the bond bill was not encouraging,
especially to European investors, and there seemed to be a
disposition to wait ,for developments in other directions.
Tuesday the tone of the market improved on the pre­
vailing opinion that the bond bids would be satisfactory,
and on Wednesday stocks advanced on commission-house
buying and an easier money market. On Thursday there
was more activity than has been noted for some time past,
but the beneficial effect of the bond bids had been largely
discounted and prices were generally steady. To-day the
activity increased, but the market has been somewhat
erratic. The grangers have advanced, but Central of N. J.
declined 1% points during the last hour of business. Am.
Tobacco scored a net loss of 2 points and Distilling & C. F.,
Am. Sugar and U. S. Leather pfd. made substantial gains.
Mo. Pacific declined to 20% on Tuesday, on a bearraid, accom­
panied by reports of a lack of liarmony between some of the
prominent managing interests. These reports were promptly
and emphatically denied by the parties themselves, and the
stock has partially recovered, closing at 33%. Stocks with
an international market have been especially strong. St.
Paul has gained 3% points, Louisville & Nashville 3 points
and Southern Ry. preferred 3% points since Monday.
The industrials have generally been steady, the most not­
able exceptions being Tenn. C. I. & R y., Am. Sugar and U. S.
Leather preferred, which have each advanced about 4 points.
Nat. Lead was weak on the announcement o f the death of
the President of the company, but the loss of 2% per cent
which followed has since been nearly recovered.’

South Carolina & Georgia Railroad Company.
( Report'for the year ending June SO, 1895.)
President Charles Parsons in this, the company’s first, annual
report draws attention to the unusual conditions prevailing
during the year. As a result of these conditions the tons or
freight carried aggregated only 659,325, a decrease of 18 ,4 per
cent, or 147,314 tons compared with 1894; the tons carried one
mile aggregated only 66,635,443, a decrease of 12,444,571, and
the pissengers carried numbered only 251,376, a decrease of
15,508. The ratio of operating, however, was 66-90 per cent,
as against 8018 per cent in 1894.
The principal changes in freight traffic are:

President John E. Searles, in the report, says:
At the beginning of the year your Directors resalved to put
the property in first-class condition. This has been done
and substantial additions have also been made to the equip­
ment, all charges for which have been defrayed from earn­

The earnings of the company have not been as large as was

contributed neatly double the through tonnage.

E xtension to W ater tY o n t.—The completion of the jetties in Charles­
ton Harbor ended the transportation of rock therefor, which accounts
for the decrease in the stone tonnage. The success of this work done
by the United States Government and assuring 23 feet of water on
the bar at the entrauee of the Harbor, it is confidently believed, marks
the beginning of a new era of prosperity to the city. But alone, of the
railroads having termini at Charleston, your road was not in the posi­
tion to shure in the full benefit of this improvement.
Our sole access to the wharves on the southeastern water front of the
city was furnished by a tern inal railway company, itself the owner
of many of the wharves, which charged exoibitant rates.
f o remove this incubus your management has uurchated about 750
feet of water from on the Cooper Rivf r, Jooatedabout half a mile f •om
the postoftlce. It has acquired the property necessary for a proaches,
and obtained from the City Council the necessary giants, which, with
acquired franchises from the State, have enabled it to extend its
road to the D e w ly acquired terminals. lucluded in the property
purchased are an elevator of i 0 0 ,0 0 0 bushels capacity, a rice mill,
with machinery and appurtenances, forming a complete plant. Cov­
ered wharves, warehouses, compresses and all other terminal struc­
tures will be built to meet tile reaniremeots of the traffic. Wharf
No. 1 and warehouse No. I thereon will be completed in time for tUe
cotton crop of the present year, and before the close of theoom iu*
fiscal year it is believed * luiost the entire front will be improved aud
in active operation.
A d d ition s, d c.—Two hundred and fifty box cars, with a capacity of
30 tons each, adapted to the fruit and vegetable business as well as to
general traffic, were purchased during the year under a six-year oar
trust.
Two hundred (200) tons of your company’s standard 70-lb. steal
rails were purchased and used in renewals duilug the year, and 7 0 0
tons were purchased in June, 1895, at $24 per ton, for delivery the
coming winter. Several miles of 58-lb. rails in the main track will be
taken out for new spur tracks and sidings and will be replaced by the
70-lb. rails.
N ttc Through L in e.—A new freight and passenger line from New
York to Macon, Ga., has been established and runs over your road
fiom Denmark to Augusta, 55 miles. It goes via the Pennsylvania,
Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac. Atlantic Coast Line, South
Carolina & Georgia and Georgia railways, and furnishes the shortest,
quickest and most comfortaule route from the East to Augusta and
Macon.

** The board of directors are of the opinion that It is more to the com­
pany’s interest that a dividend be deferred until the close of 1896, bolieviug that by that date the revenues of the oompany will be suffi­
ciently large and fixed to enable It to begin and oontinue a yearly divi­
dend to its stockholders.
“ The company is now arranging to extend.lts Monument Street line
in the eastern section of the oity to connect with wbat is known as the
Middle River road at East Baltimore Street and the oity limits, so as
to give the Traotion lines the benefit of the summer excursion business
In that direction.
W e have in process of construction a double traok extending to
Westport, in the southwestern suburbs of the city, which extension
will reach the southern shore of the Palapsoo River, at which point It
Is proposed to establish an additional summer resort. This route will
be operated in conjunction with the Huntingdon Avenue, Fremont,

The anrual report of 1894 advised the issue of d-bentar «
bonds to the amount of §3,000,000, for the purpose of provid­
ing working: capital. These hoods were offered to the stock­
holders at that time but few were taken; many stockholders
were dit-couraged from taking bonds by suit being brought in
the United S ta tes District Court of I llinoin (by a stock broker,
the apparent owner of one hundred and fifty shares) to pre­
vent the issue of the bonds an i for the appointment of a re­
ceiver. After many months of litigation the application
was dismissed by the Courr. A similar suit by the same
stockholder has been now filed in the Circuit Court of Cook
County: the final result will undoubtedly be favorable to us.
P rospect*.— Tne credit of the company has been fully
maintained, notwithstanding attacks upon it, open and o 'herwise. Dividends have been lesutn d on i lower scale than
formerly, but iu ordinary times there should be an increase
in earnings and therefore in dividends. The directors take a
hopeful view of the future and the stockholders may well
do the same.
Property Owned.—As to the property the report says :
The com nan v owns linseed oil mills as follow s:
Iowa eight; Missouri, three; Kansas, two: Nebraska, one; MinneFota, three; Wisconsin, two; Illinois, five; tndi ma, three; Ohio, live;
Michigan. <ne; New York, one; Oregon, one. In the aggregate It
owns thirty-five li seed oil mills, with irou tank storage for 9,32 7 ,0 '0

ning order sufficient to crush 12,COO.Ouo bushels of flaxseed per an­
num; thirty seveu flaxseed elevators and brick warehouses, having a
storage capacity of 5 .0 0 0 ,0 0 > bushels; one oastor-oil mill, with a
working capacity of 200 ,0 0 0 bushels; twenty tank stations located at

bonds outstanding (the remainder of the 815,350,000 bonds and

son) have filed a cross-bill in the suit brought hv the Atchison
to foreclose the Chicago Santa Fe & California mort­
gage covering the 1 ne between Chicago and Kansas
City. The cross-bill raises the question of the right of
the Atchison to ask foreclosure, claiming that all of the
loan except the 8829,000 bonds has iu fact been
satisfied, denying the charge that ihe company is insolv­
ent, aDd incidentally claiming that the old Atchison corpora­
tion concealed c naiderable of its property to evade paying
creditors. Among such c mcealed property are alleged to be
the stocks of the Cerrillos Coal & Iron Company, the Cerrillos

Metropolitan Traction (New York) — Official Report.
President Vreeland has issued to the stockholders an interest­
ing statement regarding this system which now embraces
163 50 miles of lines, operated as follows: By cable (sin­
gle track), 25'34 miles; bv underground electricity. 6 78
miles, and by horses, 181*88 miles. Of this mileage,
46-98 miles, including’ the Broadway Railway and its exten­
sions, are owned in fee by the Metropolitan Street Rv. Co.
(whose stock is all owned by the Traciion Company) 2412
miles are held under lease, with the additional securi y of
two-thirds of the stock of the subordinate companies heing
owned by the Traction Company, and 92 45 miles are held un­
der long leases, in no instance less than ninety-nine years.
The official statement contains figures from which we ob­
tain the results below given for the quarters ending respective­
ly June 39, Sept. 30 and Dec. 31, 1395, and the total for ihe
nine months. C h er income here means iucome from reatals
and dividends. The L°xington Avenue cable line, the travel
on which is now very heavy, was in use only during half of
ihe last quarter and over only a portion of its route. Notwith­
standing this fact, the net earnings of the last quar­
ter available for dividends were, as President Vreeland points
out, at the rate of about 6 per cent per annum on the stock.
The statement of earnings is as follows:

The increase here shown is considered highly satisfactory.
President Vreeland emphasize especially the economy in
operation produced by the change in motive Dower already
effected upon a portion of the sytem, and the greater
saving expected when the entire mileage shall be run by me­
chanical traction. As will be seen, he speaks most hopefully
of the experiments which have been in progress with the un­
derground trolley oa Lenox Avenue on 6 miles of track for the
pan seven months:
With four-fifths of the mileage still operated by horses, and there­
fore undeveloped, the net earnings of the one-fifth thus far improved
have been sufficient to carry the entire investment. When tue entire
traction system was operated with horses, the cost of operation was 70
per cent of the gross receipt-* The subatitut on of mechanical trac­
tion upon ‘ 0 miles out of 12 1 miles reduced the cost of operation of the
entire system to 54*39 per cent. Hie cost of operating the Broadway
road was reduced from 66 to 38 per cent by the substitution of cable
for horses. These ttgures indicate very plainly what may be expected
of this system when it shill be supplied with mechanical t-ac ion
throughout aDd be iu other respects fuily develop d. Moreover, the
company has a s ffleieut amount of real estate, and a sufficient num­
ber of power stations (amountinc iu appraised value to more than $10,0' 0, 00), which can be equipped for a relatively small expenditure to
provide for a large growth and extensions
The company has proceeded siowlv in making the changes from horse
to mechanical traction because it wasdeemed advisable. In endeavoring
to construct a permanent system for future value, to wait until the
very best and most econom ics method should be devised. With re­
spect to the use of underground trolley on Lenox Avenue ir, is to ) e irly
as yet to speak positively regarding the ultimate results of this experi­
ment further than to say that thus far it has been most encourag­
ing. The cost of operating the undergroun 1 system is no greater than
that of ope atiog the overhead trolley, and the cost of construction
will not exceed that of the overhead trolley in the manner that would
be required in New York—more than $ 2 0,0 >0 prr mile of single track,
whioh will be largely compensated for bv the superior wearmg qual­
ities of the more substantial construction required, ihe Traction
Company has no bonded indebtedness The total bonded debt of the
subordinate companies is $22 ,4 3 6 ,0 0 0 , agaiDst which is owned real
estate to the value of $10,()OJ,OOJ.— V. 62, p. 4o.

Michigan neutral— Michigan Central Bridge Co.—De­

owns 19.930 shares. Toe total length of th ebrilge will be
about three miles and its cost is estimated at $4,000 000 —S^e

Missouri Pacific RR —Floating Debt Funded—President
George J Gould, in denying the receivership rumors that were
current earlv in the week, is reported as saying that the
company’s affairs are imp oving steadily, that the soheme for
funding the floating deDt has been complete!, and that the
gold funding notes of 1895 have been issued. These notes
were to he issued $3,256,000 by the Missouri Pacific and
$4,744,000 by Iron Mountain. — V. 61, p. 830.
Montgomery Tuscaloosa & Memphis RR.—Foreclosure
Sale.—This property was sold in foreclosure at Montgomery,
Ala., February 3, and was bid in at $300,000 by Col. H. C.
Tompkins for the bondholders. There are outstanding $869,000 in bonds. It is proposed to complete the road, which is
graded most of the way from Montgomery to Tuscaloosa, a
distance of 105 miles. At one time an alliance with the Mo­
bile & Ohio was proposed —V. 62, p. 186.
Nashville Tractinu—Overland R R .—Foreclosure Sale.—
The property o f both these companies is advertised for sale
under foreclosure at Nashville on March 4, the upset price ba­
in g $35,000.— V. 62, p. 85.
lew Orleans * Western RR — New Orleans & S»ath?rn
HR.— Terms o f Operation.— An arrangement has been m ide
whereby the New OTeans & Soutnern will b3 operated
hv the New Orleans & Western, the new terminal com ­
pany in New Orleans. The Western assumes the operating
expense for a vear subject to previous sale of the road under
foreclosure. This assures the Southern boldholders for the
time being against further liens ahead of their bonds. The
receiver has been operating the road at a loss, and has applied
for §14.000 certificates. The New Orleans & Western is able
to make us“ of the road until its own roadbed is in better
order.—V. 61, p, 1107; V. 62, p. 186.

Norfolk A lbem trl & Vtlantic R R .—Foreclosure Sale.—
This roan, running from Norfolk, Va., to Virginia Beach, 18
miles, will be sold, together with the Princess Ann“ Hotel, its
furniture, etc., on April 25, 1896, in Norfolk. Va. B >ch mort­
gages are bring foreclosed, the first mortgage oeing for $300,000, dated; 1887, and the second for $200,000 dated 1888. Re­
ceivers were appointed May 25, 1893.
Oregon R a ilw a y* Navigation—Plan Operative.—The gen­
eral reorganization committee, Alfred S. Hsidelbach, Chair­
man, announces *hat the nlan of reorganization dated Sept.
6, 1895, as amended F ?b. 5, 1898, is operative. Holders of the
$400,000 consolidated mortgage bonds and of the §169,000 col­
lateral trust mortgage bonds of the company who have not
yet deposited their bonds may do so on or before Feb. 29,
after which date no deposits will be rec'ived except at the
discretion of the committee and upon payment of a pinalty of §50 per bond. Stockholders may become parties to the
agreement by depoiiting their stock on or before Feb. 29
and paying an assessment of $5 a share. See further par­
ticulars in the advertisement on another page. It is under­
stood that all obstacles have now been removed and that the
plan will be speedily carried out.
Sale o f Collateral Securing Collateral Trust Bonds.—Finally,
after many postponements, occurred on Thursday the sale at
auction of the collateral securing the collateral trust bonds of
1889, namely—$1,260,000 first mortgage 5 per cent bonds of
the Washington & Idaho RR. Co., which sold for $325,000,
and $1,511,580 5 psr cent bonds of theOregon Railway Exten­
sion Co,, which sold for §135,000. The buyers (for the Generat
Reorganization Committee) were A. S. Hudeloach, J. Crosby
Brown and W. L. Bull.—V. 62, p. 234.
Oregon Railway & Navigation Ry.—Union Pacific R R .—
Decision.—In the suit of the Union Pacific against the Oregon
Railway & Navigation the report of the Master, which wa3
filed at Portland, Ore., Jan. 28, is stated to be in substance as
below :
“ That the five receivers were not independent receivers of
the O. R. & N., but operated the same as an asset of the U. P.
That McNeill is not their successor; he holds in a different
right. That the intervention of the F. L & T. was limited and
did not make the five receivers receivers. That the payment
of the interest bv the five receivers was not a diversion from
current income justifying an order upon McNeill to restore
the amount thereof. That the taxes should not be apportioned.
That all claims of the five receivers should be disallowed, but
tbe Court ought to order McNeill to pay certain persons
uamed iu schedules attached to the report and certain nay
checks aggrega’ ing some fifty odd thousand dollars. That
McNeill was entitled, when the road was turned over to him,
under the peculiar circumstances of the case, to the materials
and supplies along the lines, thev being no more than normal
quantities. That McNeill’s counter claims should be dis­
allowed and also the claims of the five receivers for compen­
sation for themselves and counsel.”
It is thought that this decision will probably lead to some
settlement between the contending parties,—V. 62, p. 234.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery at this market has
again been confined almost entirely to the close limit of local
operators. The outside trading public appears perplexed
over the situation and unwilling to take ventures at the
moment. A previous tendency to sell the new crop months
short has, in a measure, subsided. Saturday’s market was
dull, with only 3 points fluctuation, buyers finally gaining a
small fraction. Monday’s dealings were moderate, with an
unsettled general tone, having 4 points gain, 7 points decline
and a little more steadiness at close, w ith 2@3 points net loss.
During Tuesday the February option was urged for sale and
lost 6 points, but other months gained in tone and made
3@4 points net gain, the new crop positions gaining most.
During Wednesday the tone was stronger, with 3:g)4 points
advance, the report of the successful placing of the Govern­
ment bond tender serving to inspire hopeful tone. Yesterday
there was disappointment over the indifferent character of
demand with 6 points decline. To-day the deal was quite
moderate, but after opening off a fraction prices recovered
and closed steady. Cotton on the spot has sold slowly and
moderately, closing at S^c. for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 516,700
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
8,636 bales, including 3,200 for export, 736 for consumption,
— for speculation and 4,700 on contract. The following are
the official quotations for each day o f the past week—
February 1 to February 7.

F r i d a y , February 7 , 18S6,
Only a limited amount of business has been transacted in
the market for wheat flour, as buyers and sellers have been
apart in their views, millers having been asking decidedly
higher prices, and a limited quantity of high grades have
changed hands at an advance of 5c. per bbl. City mills have
been further advanced and have sold fairly. Rye fl our has
received increased attention and prices have been advanced
slightly. Buckwheat flour has been in light supply and
sieadily held. Corn meal has been quiet and without changes.
To-day the market for wheat flour was firm but quiet.
The speculative dealings in the market for wheat futures
have continued fairly large, and immediately after our last
prices advanced rather sharply on the monthly reports from
Liverpool reporting a material decrease in stock on hand,
and then came a further advance on active buying by the
Southwest, stimulated by poor crop prospects; subsequently
realizing sales by large holders caused a reaction, but later
there was a recovery on unfavorable crop accounts from
Argentina and in response to stronger European advices.
In the spot market business has been quiet, as shippers
have been checked in their operations, owing to the
high views of holders, particularly of red winter grades,
of which the supply obtainable is very limited.
The
sales yesterday included No. 1 bard soring at 4 % ^
4J4c. over May f. o. b. afloat and No. 1 Norther,i at da.
over May, f. o. b. afloat. No. 2 red winter was quoted
nominally at DJ^c. over May, f. o. b. ail oat. To day the tone
was weaker during early change, but subsequently prices ad­
vanced rather sharply on decide ily unfavorable crop aocounts
from Argentina and stronger advices from the United K ing­
dom. In the spot market shippers were fair buyers, their
purchases amounting to about 200,000 bushels, and included
No. 1 hard spring at 41^@4J^o. over May, f. o. b. afloat; No. 1
hard Manitoba at 3%c. over May, f. o. b. afloat, delivery end
of the month, and No 2 do at 2%o. over May, f. o. b. afloat.

Speculation in the market for Indian corn futures has co atinued quiet and fluctuations have been within the narrowest
limits, and in the absence of new features of interest prices
have made no important changes, although fractional im ­
provement may be noted in sympathy with the advance
in wheat. In the spot market business has been quiet, but
prices have been steady to firm. The sales yesterday included
No. 2 mixed at 365£c. in elevator and lj^c. over May f.o.b.
afloat; steamer mixed at 35J£c. in elevator; No. 2 yellow at
36%@37c. in elevator and steamer yellow at 35%c. in elevator.
To-day the market closed slightly higher, in sympathy with
an advance in wheat. The spot market was steadier. The

Bowe, County Treasurer, for the purchase of $39,000 of 4 per
cent registered refunding war-loan bonds, maturing at the
rate of $1,000 yearly from March 1, 1897, to March 1, 1914, and
$12,000 on March 1, 1915, and $105,000 of 4 per cent county
bonds maturing February 15, 1911. Interest on both loans
will be payable semi-annually. The county’s debt, including
the above-mentioned bonds, is $907,000. Its assessed valuation
for 1895 was $97,111,105.
Billings, Montana—B on d O fferin g. —J. B. Herford, City
Clerk, will sell at public auction, at 12 o’clock, March 2, 1898,
$25,000 of 6 per ceat binds, issued for the purpose of fu idiag
all the outstanding warrants of the city. Sealed proposals re­
ceived by the City Clerk prior to the time of sale will be
considered in the same manner as other bids. The securities
will be dated March 2, 1898, interest will be payable semi-ananually on January and July 1, except that the first pay­
ment will be made Jan. 1, 1897, and the principal will mature
at the rate of $1,000 yearly from March 1, 1900, to March l,
1915, and $9,000 on March 1, 1916. Principal and interest will
be payable, at tlieoption of the holder, at Billings, Montana,
or at a bank in New York City to be designated by the Treas­
urer, payment of which is secured by sinking fund. These
bonds were authorized at an election held Jan. 11, 1896, by a
vote of 124 to 35.
The ciiv has no other outstanding indebtedness than the
above (except improvement district warrants, for tbs pay­
ment of which a special tax has been levied), and its assessed
valuation for 1895 was $1,438,326; estimated true value $1,750,000. The estimated population at present according to
local figures is 2,700.
Boise City, Idaho.—B on d O fferin g. —Proposals will be re­
ceived until 12 o’clock Feb. 10, 1896, by Arch. Cunningham,
City Clerk, for the purchase of $85,000 of coupon sidewalk
bonds, to bear interest at a rate not exceeding 7 per cent. The
securities will be dated April 1, 1896, and interest will be pay­
able annually. They will be of the denomination o f $500
each and will mature at the rats of one-seventh yearly, both
principal and interest to be payable in lawful money of the

is to famish our subscribers with a weekly addition to and
continuation of the State and City Supplement. In other
words, with the new facts we shall give, the amplifications
anil corrections we shall publish, and the municipal laws we
shall analyze in the “ State and City Department,” we expect
to bring down weekly the information contained in the
8 tate and City Supplement to as near the current date as
possible. Hence every Subscriber will at all times possess a
complete and fresh cyclopaedia of information respecting
Municipal Debts.

MUNICIPAL BOND SALES IN JANUARY.
The market for municipals during January was de
cidedly dull and prices obtained for new issues were
unusually low. Of course this condition was largely
accounted for by the overshadowing influence of the
approaching Government bond sale. The result of
that sale will doubtless give strength to the market for
all classes of investment securities and it may reason­
ably be expected tnat prices reported this month will
show a complete recovery from the depression of
December and January.
In the following table we give the prices which were
paid for January loans to the amount of $3,994,721,
issued by 26 municipalities. The aggregate of sales
for which no price was reported is $2,531,0JO and the
total sales for the month $6,507,721. Iu the case of
each loan reference is made to the page of the C h r o n ­
i c l e where a full account of the sale is given.
