The full details of clearings for the week covered by the
above statement will he given next Saturday.
cannot, of
course, furnish them to-day, bank clearings being made up by
the various clearing houses at noon on Saturday, and hence in
the above the last twenty-four hours of the week have to be
in all cases estimated, as we go to press Friday night.
Our usual detailed figures for the previous week, covering
the returns for the period ending with Saturday noon, Janu
ary It, are given below, and we also present the results for the
corresponding week in 1895, 1894 and 1893. In comparison
with the preceding week there is a loss in the aggregate
exchanges of about forty-one and a half million dollars,
but at New York alone the loss is nearly thirty-two
millions, Contrasted with the week of 1895 the total
for the whole country shows an increase of 10*3 per cent.
Compared with the week of 1894 the current returns re
cord an excess of 14*7 per cent and the loss from 1893 is
19*5 per cent. Outside of Mew York the gain over 1895 is 4*5
per cent. The excess over 1894 reaches 13*1 per cent, but
making comparison with 1*93 the loss is seen *o ba 13*3 per
coot.

Two important events of a domestic character have
transpired this week. One was the formal announce

by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan soon after his visit to
Washington in December. The other was the modifi

*100,000,000 of bonds ; this modification extends the
period for payment so that final payment (assuming it
will take 10 days to arrange the bids and send the notices)
will occur about June 15th instead of about March
25th, as provided in the original circular. We have

T H E A R M A M E N T S OF E U R O P E A N D THE
P R E S E R V A T IO N OF THE PLAC E .
The most interesting, if not the most instructive,
feature of the present crisis is the suddenness and com
pleteness of the change which has passed over the en
tire situation. Not in many years has the civilized world
■witnessed such an ominous gathering o f war clouds.
The whole political horiz >n had become b la ck ; and a
temp* st was threatened seeming to all on-lookers un
paralleled alike in its sweep and its severity. Interests
seemed to conflict in all directions; the old bonds of
unity between nation and nation were loos*ned, and
rumors were afloat o f new combinations o f the wildest
and most alarming kind. Tne clouds have not burst.
O a the contrary they are vanishing as they ca m e; and
we have alrealy the near prospect of a comparatively
clear horizon.
It is not wonderful that the situation was for a time
Tiewed with some alarm, and that the minds of many
failed them for fear. The scare had been long continued
even before the recent aggravated symptoms revealed
themselves. For more than a year the mind of the gen
eral public was kept steadily fixed on the struggle going
on in the Far E ast; and there was sufficient food for
anxiety in the possible resultant complications. It
was notorious that the two great rival Powers, Great
Britain and Russia, were eager spectators of the con
flict and deeply interested in the result. The fear was
general that an excuse might be found at any moment
for the spectators to become actual participants in the
strife, and it was next to impossible in the peculiar
circumstances to think o f Russia and Great Britain at
war without powerful allies on either side. It cannot
be said that men's minds are yet at rest in regard to
the possible final outcome of the war between China
and Japan. Even now it constitutes a part of what
remains of the war clouds.
Before anxiety was wholly relieved regarding the
probable doings in certain emergencies o f Russia and
Great Britain in the Far East, the Christian world was
stirred throughout its length and breadth by the re
volting news of the massacres of Armenians and other
Christians by the fanatical Turks. The indignation
was fierce and loud, and, what is not always the case
removed as we are from European complications, the
sentiment of which it was the expression was as pro
nounced on this side of the Atlantic as on the other.
It was believed by many that the end of the Sick Man
had come, and that the great Powers had at last fou td
113
an opportunity to wipe the Ottoman Porte and all that
belonged to it out of existence. Great Britain had
been blamed for being slow to act. But when
she showed hersslf willing to assume the required
responsibility, it was discovered that there were bar
riers in the way. Russian interests and what were
supposed to be British interests were again in conflict.
France was with Russia. Austria was with Great
Britain. If Turkey was to be dismembered, there was
the question of spoils. I f Turkey was to be occupied
to enable the Sultan to cirry out his projected reforms,
where were the different Powers to have their centres
of influence, and how were these centres of influence
to harmonize with the long-established policy of the
West and the almost equally long-cherished purposes of
Russia. Wisely, we think, Great Britain insisted on uni
ted action, for if she had acted alone and had occupied
Constantinople, or in any direct way had taken it under
her charge, she not unlikely would have kindled
the flames of war, and what would have been the final
result no one can tell. The result of the whole affair is
deplorable. A t the mercy of the bloodthirsty Mussul
man, the Armenians call for help; and the Christian
world outside makes the confession that it cannot help
them.
Then in addition we have had this Venezuelan
shock and the unfortunate affair in the Transvaal.
Into the merits or demerits of either of these we do not
propose to enter at any length. I f, is impossible, how
ever, to pass them over. L ke the Cnino Japanese
war and like this recent Turkish imbroglio they be
long to the disturbing causes; and they illustrate the
p culiar disposition of the time— a disposition to yield
to temper and to give vent to feelings in bellicose lan
guage. The Transvail affair has ceased to be a matter
between President Krftgcr and Cape Colony or the
British Government. It is an affair between Great
Britain and Germany; and Emperor William has to
thank himself, if he finds himself occupying before
his own people and before the world a somewhat u n
dignified position. He was not ignorant of the treaty
of 1884. He knew that in regard to outside or foreign
matters the Tranvaal Government had agreed to act
through the British Crown. Ia other words he knew
that according to the terms of that treaty Great B rit
ain exercised a species of suzerain authority.
He
knows now that he cannot land a German soldier in
the neighborhood of the Transvaal, and he has just
heard from the lips of Mr. Balfour, the most prominent
man in the British Cabinet after Lord Salisbury him
self, that "foreign interference will not bo permitted’
in the Transvaal.
As things are at present, the prospect is peace.
There is no immediate danger, less than there has
been any time during the last fourteen or fifteen
months, that war should take plaoe between Great
Britain and Russia because of complications in the
Far East. There is no danger that a general war
should break out immediately— less than there was two
months ago— because of the Turkish-Armenian diffi
culty. And most people are agreed that the Trans
vaal difficulties will be got over without an appeal to
the sword.
Why 8*> much noise and so little action ? Why so
many bellicose speeches and so many backdowns ? The
true answer to these questions is— Fear. It is after the
rash words are spoken that governments and the men
at the head of them begin to count the cost and to
consider the strength and resources o f the opposing

THE CHRONICLE.
party. It is in view of the terrible consequences
which would follow a war between any two of
the great Powers, or between any combination of
those Powers, that we have had so much hesita
tion in firing the first gun.
Twenty-five years
ago the war in the Far East would most cer
tainly, if it had rolled on in the satno lines, have
brought Russia and Great Britain into conflict. Eight
een years ago the great Russo-Turkish struggle was
over, and the Treaty of Berlin was signed. How dif
ferent the situation of to-day 1 Why has Russia not
taken advantage of the present situation and advanced
towards Constantinople ? Why has she not attempted
to force her way through the Bosphorus ? Why have
not the Powers, in spite of Russia, combined and
gone to the rescue of the Christains ? It is
the fear of consequences.
The armaments of
Europe have become such that war would be dis
astrous— destructive, especially of property, and ruin
ous to trade and commerce, beyond any thing the
world has ever known, even if limited to two contending^parties; and when we take into consideration com
binations, we are brought face to face with a general
war which would throw back European civilization for
at least a hundred years. Taking in the situation
generally we are driven to the conclusion that the
armaments of Europe are to-day the great preservers
of the peace; and of all the individual illustrations
the most remarkable is that of the great Christian
Powers at the gates of Turkey looking on helplessly
while their brothers and sisters are being massacred,
and finally retiring, admitting that they are utterly
unable to help them. Each of the Powers was willing
but not one had the courage to move.
OUR FO R E IG N COMMERCE I N 1895.
The issue by the Bureau of Statistics at Washington
of the preliminary statement of the country’ s foreign
commerce for December enables us to prepare our
usual statistics for the calendar year. On the whole
there have been fewer striking and exceptional features
*n the external trade of 1895 than in that of the years
immediately precsding, which is equivalent to saying
that there was a closer approach to normal conditions.
Of course in this we are referring to the general results
and the grand aggregates.
In comparing 1895 with 1894, the point which will
attract most attention no doubt is the large increase in
the imports.
Roughly, our importations in the
twelve months of 1895 were 125 million dollars
in excess of those for the twelve months of 1894.
Many will attribute this expansion to the en
actment of the 1894 tariff law, prescribing a lower
scale of tariff duties. Others will see in the movement
unhealthy symptoms entirely regardless of the change
in tariff rates. But a little study will serve to show
that the enlarged movement has followed from perfectly
natural causes and consequently affords no ground for
unfavorable conclusions. In the first place it is well
to remember that in comparing with 1894 we are com
paring with a year of abnormally small totals. From
823 million dollars in 1890, 828 million dollars in 1891
and 841 million dollars in 1892, our imports had fallen
first to 766 million dollars in 1893 and then to 676
million dollars in 1894. The increase in 1895 therefore
while large, is really a recovery of less than what was
lost in the two years preceding. In other words, the
total for 1895 stands at only 801 million dollars,
[Y ol. LX1I.
whereas in 1892 the imports had, been 841 m illion
dollars.
The truth is, the difference between 1895 and 1894
reflects simply the difference in the general condi
tions of the country in the two years, and affords
further proof of the great improvement in trade and
business which occurred during 1895. In 1894 all our
industries were in a state of extreme depression : labor
was only partly employed and had to accept re
duced compensation, consumption of goods was
at a low ebb, and jobbers and dealers were very
reluctant to stock up.
In short,it was a period
of economy and hesitancy, the uncertainties regard
ing the tariff operating of course in the im
port trade as a farther depressing agency. In 1895,
on the other hand, all this was changed.
Trade,,
while dull and inactive early in the year, when the
state of the United States Treasury caused so much
alarm, began to improve after the making of the con
tract with the Syndicate, and the movement stead
ily gained force and strength as the year pro
gressed. Labor once more found full em ploy
ment, wages were advanced, the consumptive capacity
of the population wa3 increased, and stocks of goods,
which had been allowed to run down to an unusual ex
tent, had to he replenished. This was the situation in
both the domestic and the foreign trade, and there can
be no doubt that imports in 1895 were larger than they
otherwise would have been, because in 1894 they had
been contracted (for the reasons stated) to such an abnor
mal degree. A fair way to judge of the imports in their
relation to the country’ s normal requirements would
seem to be to combine the years 1894 and 1895 and
compare the average of the two years thus obtained
with the imports for the years immediately preceding.
This average is found to he roughly 739 m illion
dollars, and we would have to go back to 1888 to find a
yearly aggregate as small as this. The following fur
nishes a comparison of both the merchandise imports
and the merchandise exports for each calendar year
back to 1870.

It will be observed from the foregoing that the m er
chandise exports in the last two years were almost ex
actly alike, and were on the whole quite large, though
of course considerably smaller than in the best of pre
vious years.
For 1895 the aggregate is $824,896,522,
for 1894 $825,102,248. The close approach to the 1894
total may seem a surprise in view o f the fact that our
export surpluses of some leading commodities had been

reduced by reason of the previous season’ s crop failure,
and furthermore that in the latter part of the year the
shipments of cotton fell off heavily in consequence of
the shortage in the 1895 crop of the staple. In the
last four months o f 1895 the cotton exports reached
only 1,127} million pounds against 1,836 million
pounds in the corresponding four months of 1894, a
contraction of 7084 million pounds, or over 38 per
cent. But shippers realized an average of 8-4 cents per
pound in the four months of 1895, against only 5 ‘ 7
cents in the four months of 1894, and hence the value
of the exports was $94,550,400 against $106,3 L9,843, a
loss of 11} million dollars, or but 11 per cent. For the
full twelve months of the calendar year the loss in this
staple is only about 10} million dollars; in quantity the
exports for the twelve months were 5,518,669 bales or
2,770 million pounds in 1895, and 6,090,551 bales or
3,065 million pounds in 1894.
In another leading export commodity an advance in
price also cut an important figure in the results. We
refer to petroleum. Here the exports were over 41
million gallons less than in 1894, but owing to the en
hancement of price export values were actually in
creased over 15} million dollars, the total standing at
about 57 million dollars in 1895 against 41} million
dollars for 1894. In the exports of cattle, sheep
and hog3 there was a falling off of about 10}
million dollars, and in the exports o f provisions
a falling off of nearly 10 million dollars.
Or
the other hand, in the breadatuffs exports there
was <nly a trifling decrease, the total having been small
in both years. The shipments of wheat and Hour were
less than in the year preceding, while prices were
but little higher as to wheat and actually somewhat
lower in the case of flour. On the other hand the corn
shipments (strange as it may seem in view of the short
crop in 1894) were about 18 million bushels greater in
quantity and about 7} million dollars larger in amount.
O f course the improvement occurred entirely in the
last six months ; in the first six months there was a
large decrease. From the following table it will be
seen that the aggregate export values o f the leading
staples— cotton, breadstuffs, provisions, cattle, etc.,
and petroleum— was about 16 million dollars less in
the twelve months of 1895 than in the twelve months
o f 1894, but that this loss was just about made good by
the gains in other items of exports.

balance in 1895 is $53,587,784, against $178,401,520, or nearly 125 million dollars less. Clearly
therefore there was a warrant for gold exports in the
ordinary trade conditions in 1895, whereas there was no
such warrant in 1894. Nevertheless, the gold outflow,
though very heavy, was not quite as large as in the
preceding year, the net efflux having been 70}
million dollars in 1895 and 8 0 } million dollars in 1894.
It will be interesting to show the result on gold, silver
and merchandise together, and accordingly we have
prepared the following covering the last five years.

Owing to the large increase in the merchandise im
ports, the trade balance in favor of the United States
on the merchandise movement was much smaller
in 1895 than in 1894, amounting in fact, as
will be seen by the table first above, to only $23,269,884, against $148,789,307. As regards silver, since
the repeal of the purchase clause o f the 1890 law, our
exports of that metal are each year increasing, and the
total for 1895, both gross and net, was in excess of
that of any previous year. For 1895 the net amount
was $30,317,900, as against $29,612,213 for 1894.

Thus we paid in settlement of our indebtedness with
the outside world by an excess of merchandise, gold
and silver exports over merchandise, gold and silver
imports only $124,174,429 in 1895, against $258,900,648 in 1894. The dilference any fairly be said to re
flect the improvement in the situation wrought as the
result of thtf demonstration of the Government’s ability
and determination to maintain gold payments. It is
difficult to say whether the security and capital move
ment was in favor or against the Uuited States for the
full year. Of the $62,300,000 of bonds taken by the
Syndicate, one-half, as we know, was placed abroad, but
a part of these bonds was subsequently returned to this
country. In the early portion of the year, before the
Syndicate contract, the flow of foreign capital was
undoubtedly away from the United States; but
in the spring and summer considerable purchases
on foreign account were made here and some large loans
negotiated in Europe ; this movement however was not
folly maintained, and towards the close of the year, there
is reason to think, the current was again reversed. But
whether the net result for the year was in favor or
against the United States, the fact remains that the
excess of exports of silver, gold and merchandise for
1S95 was 135 million dollars less than for 1894, and
was also less than in any other year since 1890. And
the fact is a significant one. We show in the following
the gold and silver movement in detail for each year
back to 1870.

Whilo our statement of railroad net earnings for Novembor does not show quite as favorable results a3 that
f o r October, the gains are yet large.
I q gross the in
crease is $5,174,903 or SG'8 per cent, in net $2,612,196
or 12-80 per cent. This result is particularly gratify
ing because in the South and Southwest some of the
roads su-tained very heavy losses by reason of the re
duced cotton movement. As an indication of the part
played by the falling off in the cotton traffic we may
note that the receipts at the Southern outports in No-yember 1895 amounted to only 871,414 bales as against
1,553,871 bales in N ivember 1894, and that the gross
shipments overland were only 235,300 bales against
434,780 bates. It, is but fair to say, however, that our
table does not embrace throe or four Southwestern
roads which are known to have sustained particularly
heavy losse--, namely the Missouri Kansas & Texas,
the St. Louis Southwestern, the Texas & Pacific and
the International & Great Northern, these roads never
furnishing monthly returns of net. With them in
cluded the final amount of gain would he less than it
now appears, bat would even then be large. The fo l

In the previous year our November statement had
shown much better results than the months preceding.
Rut nevertheless there was a lossdn both gross and net,
and this lose came on top of a loss in 1893—-in fact in
the case of the net there had been a loss in 1891 as
well as 1893, as will appear by the following.

Arranged in groups the general showing is much the
same as in the foregoing, the Northwestern group and
the Pacific, group being distinguished for very excep
tional improvement, the one having $1,093,918 gain in
net or 44-47 per cent, and the other $1,033,772 gain
or 26-17 per cent. In the Middle Western group the
Illinois Central again has greatly enlarged its earnings,
and as a result that group also has a heavy patio of
increase— 20-24 per cent. Two groups have losses in
net, namely the anthracite coal group, where the Read
ing and the Summit Branch are responsible for the
adverse result (the Central of New Jersey, the Susque
hanna & Western and the New Y ork 0 utario & W est
ern all having materially enlarged their earnings), and
the Southwestern group, where most of the roads have
fallen behind, noteworthy exceptions however being
the Colorado roads, namely the Denver & R 'o Grande,

A Study m Go vers men r Fisaxi :*.—Tae list number of
the “ Political Science Quarterly” contains a meritorious
paper on the Treasury Reserveand the Bond Syndicate G(> ra tion* of last year by Mr. Alexander D. Noyes, the Scaneial
editor o f the "Evening Post” o f this city.
The time is of course opportune for a discussion of that
important event in the country’s financial affairs. But Mr.
Noyes’s treati-e is something more than a mere sketch o f the
Sy ndicate operations of 1593, with their attendant incidents
and r Sect*. It is really a review of the financial history of
the United States since the resumption o f specie payments,
and this we regard as the most valuable pan of Mr. Noyes’s
effort, for he has gone over the ground fully and yet briefly
and to a careful ard conscientious way. Oar views regard
ing tome of the occurrences of this period differ from those
expressed by Mr. Noyes in his comments, but he writes in an
interesting ard instructive way, and the paper is an able one.
In connection with bis subject he has undertaken to examine
three problems which have within recent periods been topics
of controversy, namely the Federal law regarding the Gov
ernment reserve, the true significance of the Au-trian gold
purchases here in 1892. and the reason why the New York
banks have stopped making settlements In gold.
It is evident from the context of the a ritle that it was
written before the events of December ha i again so deeply
disturbed the financial situation and thrown all business in
terests once more into confusion, But the paper is especially
interesting in view of the subsequent developments. For
Mr, Noyes shared the doubts so generally held by tboughtfui observers as to the permanency of the restorative work aceompfished through the Syndicate arrangement so long as
Congress failed by proper enactments to remove the source
and cause of our currency disorders. As indicating the gen
eral conclusions w bich he has reached, the following extract
may be taken: “ In 1893 the disease and the remedy were
plain to the majority of educated minds; but it was
equally plain that the remedy could not immediately be used
and yet the patient could not wait, A quick and powerful
palliative was applied, with a double hope: that partial re.
turn of economic health would enable the nation better to
endure another strain, and that, with lapse of time, return
ing sanity in legislation would make possible the final cure.
Whether the Syndicate experiment has accomplished more
than this is a matter of great doubt; * * * * * unless
the fundamental cause o f mischief is taken courageously in
hand the country will probably enjoy only a breathing
space.’

MR. MORGAN AND THE BOND SYNDICATE.
Tbe following is a copy of the circular sent by Mr .
Morgan this week to the members of the Syndicate
which had been formed to take the new issue of bonds
to replenish the Treasury gold reserve before the
announcement came offering the bonds for public
subscription.
“ 33 W a u l St ., N e w Y o b s Gt i y , Jan. 14,1896.
“ G entlemen : In sending you formal notice of the dissolu
tion of the United States Bond Syndicate in which you have
co-operated, it is proper that I should make some statement
showing why the Syndicate was formed, what action has been
taken on its behalf, and why it is now dissolved,
“ On the 331 of December last I was invited to Washington
for a conference. Daring my visit there, as I have verbally
stated to every one who has conferred with me on the subject,
no negotiations for a loan were commenced or even suggested,
nor was there then or since any agreement or request that I
should take any steps preparatory to making a contract.
“ The result of my visit was that I came to the following
conclusions:
“ (Li That the President and Secretary of the Treasury were
determined to use every power at their command to restore
and maintain the gold reserve.
"(2 ) That no steps would be taken or even any preparatory
negotiations commenced until it was ascertained what action,
if any. Congress would be likely tojtake in response to the ap
peal of the President for adequate and improved means for
making such restoration.
“ (3) Tnftt the Executive Department would prefer, if possi
ble, to secure $300,000,000 of gold in order ta avoid any prob
able necessity for a similar negotiation before the meeting of
the new Congress in 1897.
“ (I.) That it was absolutely certain that no adequate relief
could be obtained from Congress, and that no bill could be
passed through the Senate for the improvement of the mone
tary system of the country.
“ Upon ruy return, appreciating to the full the gravity of
the situation and keenly alive to the fact that early action
was essential, and in order that I might be prepared, if
called upon, to act promptly, I took steps to ascertain to
what extent it would be- possible to secure the co-operation
of capitalists, institutions and others in forming a syndicate
which would agree to sell to the United States Government
$300,000,000 o f geld coin.
“ In my efforts, while far from sanguine as to the result,
the ready'acquiescence of James Stillman, Esq,, President of
the National City Bank, New York; Edward D. Adams, E«q.,
with full power representing the Deutsche Ba> k of Berlin,
Germany; John A . Stewart, Esq., President United States
Trust Company: Pliny Fisk, Esq., of Messrs. Harvey I-'isk &
Sons, aud others, to all of whom I atn deeply grateful, en
couraged mo to proceed.
“ The contract, as prepared and signed by the participants,
did not stipulate whether the purchase should be by private
contract or by publtc offer. The only proviso (in addition to
the important one that no gold should be withdrawn from the
Treasury) was that the minimum amount of the contract
should be $100,000,000 and the maximum the full amount of
participations, which might be secured before it became neces
sary to act, not exceeding $200,000,000.
“ The applications for participation far exceeded my expec
tation*. At the end of three or four days the total of $200,000,000 was reached, and I had in my bands full autborily
which would enable me, whenever and however the Execu
tive might decide to acf, to secure that amountof gold for the
Treasury reserve in exchange for United 3ta*es bonds.
“ The participants may he divided into four classes :
“ ( 1,1 Institutions, banking firm? aud others in Buiope who
were prepared, if nee-saury, to shipilhe 'amount of their par
ticipation in gold to this side.
••(3.) Banks, savings batiks, trust companies and private in
dividuals throughout the United States in possession of the
actual gold coin who desired to secure bond?, either for in
vestment eras a basis for national bank circulation,
“ (3.) Banks in New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia,
Cincinnati and other cities in possession of gold who, without
necessarily desiring bonds for investment, were willing to aid
in the movement to sustain the Treasury reserve, and ex
change their gold for United States b rmds, expecting after
wards to s-11 the same in the market.
“ (4.) Institutions, banking firms and others, who, without
being in possession of the actual gold, were willing and able
to obtain that gold, at whatever cost, for deposit with the
Treasury in payment for bonds, provided the movement con
templated could be carried out,
“ I may add for your information that the 3200,000,000 par
ticipations were about equally divided between the four
classes indicated.
** The formation of the Syndicate being completed, I com
menced negotiations for the permanent placing of a portion
of the loan by public issue in Europe, should a contract with
the Government be made.
“ The London market was unfortunately closed to us, owing
to causes to which I need not refer. I therefore, through
the Deutsche Bank, Berlin, and Messrs. Morgan, Harjaa &

London, S aturday . Jan. 4.1896.
The city waa startled on Wednesday morning by the new*
that Dr, Jameson, the Administrator of the Chartered Com
pany o f South Africa, at the head of seven or eight hundred
armed meD, had invaded the Transvaal. The Stock Exchange
was closed on that day: but in other parts of the city the news
was received with grave anxiety. It had been known for a
oonsiderabie time that there was universal disc intent amongst
the Uitlanders, o f foreign settler#. They are excluded from
all voice in the management of public affairs; they complain
that the Government is corrupt, that it is constantly invading
their rights, and that even in sueit a matter as the police of
Johannesburg they are not afforded the protection they are
entitled to. Naturally there is a large number o f bad char
acters to Johannesburg: and it is stated that street robberies
and outrages are frequent and that sufficient redress cannot
be obtained.
But although there has been much agitation, the general
opinion was that no rising would take place. Such immense
properties are at stake that it was thought that all leading
persons wonld exert their influence to maintain order and that
President Kr ger wonld grant reasonable concessions. The
invasion by the Chartered Company's forces changed all this.
It was naturally assumed that full preparations had been
made and that Dr. Jameson would not have entered upon a
filibustering scheme unless he was sure of success. The Colo
nial Secretary acted with great promptness. He sent out
orders to stop Dr, Jameson; he called upon the High Commis
sioner to enforce those orders, and he instructed the directors
of the South African Company to proceed promptly, Mr.
Rhodes the Cape Premier, also exerted his influence. But
Dr. Jameson, though these messages reached him, refused to
119
obey. On New Year’s Day a battle took place between Dr.
Jameton’s force and the Boers, and according to the latest in
telligence the former has surrendered. How it will all end
nooody can foresee; but it is evident that the difficulties already
existing have been greatly aggravated.
Naturally this event has thrown all other matters into the
shade. The event, too, has excited much indignation all over
the Continent; and it is unfortunately clear that the embar
rassments of our Government in every direction are in
creased.
During the last four days of tbe old year the borrowings at
the Bank of England were very much larger than had been
expected. Of course they were due to very temporary causes,
but stilt the fact has created some surprise that about
mil
lions sterling were borrowed by the open market from the
Bank. Almost the whole of this sum will have to be repaid
within eight or ten days, and to-day a million sterling of
Treasury bills placed at the end of last week will also have to
be paid for. Apparently therefore over 8 millions sterling
will have to be transferred from the open market to the Bank
of England. On the other hand, the interest on the national
debt will be paid on Monday, and the joint-stock and private
banks which usually call in money at the end of the year are
now lending freely. The general belie £ is that the sums due
will be paid without difficulty and that rates will continue low
for a long time to come.
In the tJver market there is scarcely anything calling for
notice; but the India Council continues to sell its drafts won
derfully well. On Wednesday it disposed of the whole fifty
lakhs offered at rather more than Is. 2d. per rupee.
Dr. Jameson's action following so closely upon President
Cleveland’s Venezuelan Message, as that had followed so
closely upon the Armenian massacres, has utterly demoral
ized markets. On Wednesday, when the news of the raid was
rect ivt d, the Stock Exchange was closed, which probably pre
vented a panic. On Thursday morning all departments opened
flat; but an hour or two later buying upon a great scale took
place and there was a general recovery. The greatest recovery
was in South African securities, but there was a considerable
improvement also in the American market. At the present
moment, in spite of the„very grave news from South Africa,
there is a less alarmist feeling than might have been looked
for. It is hoped that President Kruger will show a more con
ciliatory spirit than heretofore, now that he has asserted his
authority. It is likewise hoped that Mr. Chamberlain will be
able to bring about a better state of things. Sir Hercules
Robinson, the High Commissioner of South Africa, has been
instructed to visit Pretoria at once, and it is believed that he
has already started.
Meanwhile the general public is holding aloof from all d epartmentsof business. But great capitalists are buying. They
believe that thodifficulties of all kinds will pass away and they
thert fore think that the present is a very favorable opportunity
for investment. But small people are too much alarmed to deal.
In the American market there is a fair amount of arbitrage
bu-iui ms but the general public hold aloof. The appointment
of the Venezuela Commission has made little impreasioD, none
of tbe members except Mr, White being known here, andcon3; quently the public is unable to judge whether the appoint
ments are good or bad, or what is likely to be the nature of
the report. Ail that seems certain is that while the dispute
lusts the public will be afraid to deal, and that therefore the
London mar Bet will count fer next to nothing in regard to
American securities. Nor is it likely that there will be much
investment here in international securities. Unfortunately
there is a very hostile feeling toward this country upon the
Continent generally, and that being so investment in Conti
nental securities is not likely. The general impression just
now is that British investment for some time to come will be
almost entirely confined to British, colonial and South Afri
can securities.
The bank dividends so far announced are fairly satisfactory
considering bow exceedingly low rates have been during the
past half-year. Broadly speaking, they are at the same rate
as twelve months ago.
The rates for money have been as follow s:

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—The finan
cial situation lias improved in tone during the week. It is
reported from London that there is a possibility of a settle
ment of the South American question by the British and
Venezuelan governments; and other political and diplo
matic relations abroad are much leas strained than they have
recently been.
The success of the Reading plan has had a good effect upon
American securities abroad, and the fortnightly settlement
on the London Stock Exchange lias been successfully com
pleted.
At home the assurance from the leader of the Bond Syndi
cate that the interests which he represents stand ready to
assist if necessary in making the new bond issue a success
has made it certain that the loan will be fully taken.
The possibility of disturbance in the money market resultng from payments made on account of the bonds is largely
reduced by the modified terms set forth in the supplemen
tary circular issued on Thursday by the Secretary of the
Treasury.
Because of the demand in anticipation of such payments
there is now a fractional premium On gold and also on legal
tenders.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 2 to 6 per
cent. To-day’s rates on call were 3 to 4 per cent. Prime
commercial paper is quoted at 6 per cent.
The Bank of England weekly statement on Thursday
Bhowed an increase in bullion of £520,892, and the per
centage of reserve to liabilities was 60-90. against 60-44 last
week; the discount rate remains unchanged at 2 per cent.
The Bank of France shows a decrease of 1,875,000 francs in
gold and an increase of 850,000 francs in silver.
The New York City Clearing-House banks in their statement
of Jan. 11 showed an increase in the reserve held of $7,316,900
and a surplus over the required reserve of $27,183,100, against
$10,779,675 the previous week.

State and Railroad Bonds.—Sales of State bonds at the
Board include $63,000 Virginia fund, debt 2-3s of 1991 at 59%
to 60%; $30,000 Virginia 6s, d’f d. trust rec’ts, stamped, at 6;
$4,000 So. Carolina non-fund, at 1 ; $8,000 No. Carolina con.
4s at 102; $9,000 Louisiana con. 4s at 98 and $1,000 Alabama,
Class A, at 109.
The railroad bond market has been more active and steady
as the result of increasing hopefulness in investment circles
at home and abroad. Among the special features of the
week are Col. H. V. & Tol. gen. mort. 6s, which have advanced
8 points. Louis. & Nash, unified gold 4s have gained 3%
points, Col. Midland 1st rec’ts are 3 points higher on limited
sales, doubtless as a {consequence of the rapidly developing
interests in Colorado. Readings have been strong on the
announcement of the large deposits under the plan and the
assured success of the latter. Ore. Short Line 6s, Rio Grande
Western, Texas & Pacific, Mo. Kan. & Texas, Ore. S. L. &
Utah Northern, Southern Ry., Ches. & Ohio and the Atch
ison bonds have been active, and advanced generally from
1 to 2% points.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—Under the favor
able conditions which have generally prevailed the stock
market has been strong, although the volume of business has
not been large. The highest prices of the week for railway
shares were in most cases reached on Tuesday, when Lake
Shore & Mich. Southern had advanced 5% points, Southern
Ry. preferred 2%. Louisville & Nashville 2%, Mo. Kan. &
Texas preferred 2%, Rock Island 2%, Burlington & Quincy
2%, St. Paul 1%, Mo. Pacific 1% and North West. 1% points
from our closing quotations of last week. Reading advanced
one point after the first assessment was paid. Since Tuesday
there have been some recessions as a result iu part of the
covering of short contracts and some taking of profits.
Manhattan Elevated has fluctuated over a range of about
3 points and closes at 99%
The active features of the industrial list have been relat
ively steady. U. S. Leather preferred may be considered
an exception, however. It has continued subject to manip
ulation, selling at 57% on Monday, at 64% on Thursday and
closes at 61%. Chicago Gas has remained steady, notwith
standing reports of an ordinance passed by the Chicago
Common Council which was supposed to be adverse to its
interest. Tenn. Coal & Iron aud Pacific Mail have each
advanced about one point. Other changes are unimportant.

Philadelphia & Reading Railroad.
(R ep ort f o r the y ea r en d in g N ov. SO, 1895.)
G eneral R e s u lt s —The earnings of the Railroad Company,
after deducting all charges [including interest amounting "to
$1,788,607 oa the general mortgage], show a surplus for the
year of $337,186. The earnings of the Coal & Iron Company
show a dedoit after charges o' $1,875,993, m iking a net deficit
for the two companies of $1,538,306.
The report says :
The Coal & Iron Company did not earn its operating ex
penses, and it therefore became necessary for the Railroad
Company to advance to it the money required to pay so much
of its interest as is guaranteed by the Railroad C impany,
which is $650,270. The net earnings for the year of the two
companies have been sufficient to pay all charges anterior to

low prices realized for coal, which with the exception of the
year 1886 were less than those of any year since 1879.
While the business was a losing one for the Coal & Iron
Company, this loss was more than made up by the gain to the

N egotiation s R espectin g C oal O u tp u t— The report gives a
complete history ot the efforts which have been made in re
cent years to establish harmonious relations among the an
thracite coal companies and states the reasons why it is thought
the Heading should be allowed to produce at least 31 per cent
of the output. Am jog other things it is stated :

The last six mouths of 1895, during which time there was
no concert of action whatever, presented a fair test of the
relative productive capacity of the several anthracite com
panies. No official statements of the production of the an
thracite region during this time have been made, because
some of the companies have declined to furnish the usual re
ports of their business, but enough is known to warrant tbe
statement that when the figures shall be published they will
show that Reading’s proportion of the total business of the
last six months of 1895 considerably exceeds 22 per cent.
This detailed statement of the history of the present contest
is made to show that the position taken and maintained by
Reading during the year 1895, in relation to its proper proportion of the coal business, was the only way iu which it could
secure that share of the anthracite trade to which it believed
itself to be fairly entitled, and which it must obtain if it is to
regain prosperity, or even solvency.

(R e p o rt f o r y ea r end ing Nov. 30, 1895.)
President E. F. Wilbur, in the report, says in part:
G eneral R e m its .—The tonnage for the past year has been
largely in excess of any previous year in th- history of the com
pany. It was larger by 2,237,638 tons than intneyear 1893-94.
Although there was an increase in the tonnage of all classes
of freight of 455,016,165 tons carried one mile, there has been
a decrease in the average freight rate, as compared with 1894,
of '08 cent upon our entire tonnage of 2,606,846,310 ton miles,
or more than enough to have produced 5 per cent upon our
entire capital stock.
F in a n cia l .—Of the reserve of $3,000,000 of the consolidated
mortgage bonds of the Pennsylvania & New York Canal &
Railroad Company, $1,500,000 of bonds bearing interest at the
rate of 4)^ per cent have been sold to take up the same
amount of 7 per cent bonds maturiag June 1 next.
Early in the year the entire floating debt of the company
was, through a negotiation with M>ssrs. Brown Brothers &
Co., transferred to London and consolidated into four series
of notes, maturing in April, May, June and July next. Tnis
was accompanied by an option of $6,000,000 of the 5 per cent
bonds of theLehighValley Coal Company, belonging to the Rail
road Compauy, which option was subsequently exercised and
the proceeds of the bonds paid over to us, excepting so much
as will be required to take up the notes when due and the in
terest on them to their maturity.
The balance sheet shows our unadjusted claim against the
Philadelphia & Reading Radroad Company to be over $1,500,000. The matter has recently been referred to the Master to take
testimony on disputed items, and it is believed that an ad
justment of the differences existing between the companies
can be reached at an early date.
New C a r Trusts, E tc .—To provide in part for the largely in
creasing business in general freight, contracts have been en
tered into for the construction of 2,000 standard 60,000
pounds capacity box cars, which will be delivered before
April 1 next, the necessary funds being provided by a car
trust. During the year a contract was made with the Bald
win Locomotive Works for 50 locomotives, of which 30 were
delivered during the fiscal year, and the remaining 20 have
been delivered since its close. Further additions to our equip
ment will be required in the coming year.
We have equipped all of our oars with the necessary hand
holds and grab irons, and are raising draw bars to standard
height in order to comply with the act of Congress. This
work will be completed by February 15, 1896. Our locomo
tives are being equipped with driver and train brakes gradu
ally. They will all be so equipped by January 1, 1898, the
date fixed by law.
E xten sion s an d G u a r a n tie s —The M idd lesex V alley R a ilw a y
(about 29 miles iu length) extends from Geneva to Naples iu
New York State through a well-settled region, and cannot
fail to be a valuable feeder. Under the terms agreed on Dec.
2, 1895, we acquired the entire full-paid capital stock of the
road, $500,000 in amount, and $225,000 of its issue of $600,000
5 per cent mortgage bonds, in consideration of the guarantee
by the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company of the remaining
$375,000 outstanding bonds. The earnings of the road show
this to be a charge we can safely assume.
The S ou th ern C en tral R a ilroa d extended from near Sayre,
Pa., to North Fair Haven, N. Y., on the shore of Lake On
tario, 117 miles in length. The Lehigh Valley RR. Co. owned
60 per cent of its consolidated bonds, and in its reorganiza
tion as the L ehigh & N ew Y ork R R . Co. in 1895, after fore closure sale, we agreed to guarantee an issue of $2,000,000
first mortgage 4 per cent bonds, the earnings of the road in
the past giving reason to believe that the interest on this
amount of (bonds could be earned. The Lehigh Valley ac
quired about 60 per cent of the preferred stock, being a ma-

jority in interest of the entire capital stock of the new cor
poration; also a lease in perpetuity on the basis of the pay
ment as rental of the net income from operation, after
deducting the payment of taxes and interest on bonds, oper
ating expenses, cost of maintenance, improvements, & c.,
such net income, if earned, to be applied to the payment
first of non-cumulative dividends on the preferred stock.
To open up Northampton County to our coal and miscellan
eous traffic, and to give access to the slate trade tributary to
our E aston & N orthern R ailroad , a connection is being con
structed between that road and our main line at South Eas
ton. This connection will be about 4 miles in length, passing
through the western part of the city of Easton, and will include
an iron bridge about 1,000 feet long across the Lehigh River.
The Board has authorized the guarantee of $300,000 of
per cent bonds of that company for this purpose.
The work of construction has been begun on a line about
10 miles in length [the Depew & Tonaxcanda R R . See V. 61,
p. 11071, leaving our main line at D*pew. 9 miles east of Buf
falo, and connecting with the New York Central Railroad
near Tonawanda, the object being to expedite the movement
of our traffic to and from Suspension Bridge and reduce the
cost of its transportation.
The Rochester Branch has been extended from H meoye
Falls, through a rich farming country to Heml ck Lake, a
distance of 13*6 miles, and a branch a half mile long con
structed to th» village of Hemlock.
P hysical C ondition.—The general condition of the prop
erty of the company has b*»en restored to its usual high
standard. As to particular matters the repirt says:

This shows an increase for the year 1895 of 600,800 tons, to
which for the purpose of comp irison with 1891 there should
! be a Ided the tonnage of G B. Markle & Co. omitted from the
foregoing statement. Thi* for the year 189-1 was 457,213 tons,
making an actual increase for th ? year 1895 of 1,058,013 tons.
The average breaker time of all the collieries operated by the
Lehigh Vail-y Coal Company was a little over 159 days, an
increase of about 18 day* as compvrei with 1894.
The capacity of the oollieries operated by the coal company
has increased from 18.833 cons in 1394 to an estimated capacity
of 17,000 tors per day of ten hours, and the gross capacity of
all the collieries tributary to the L°high Valley system is esti
mated by Mr. Lathrop as about 47,000 tons per day of ten
hours. The anthracite coal sold by the coal company pro
duced from mines owned or controlled by it was 2,717,005
tons ; purchased from individual operators, 3,217.912 tons ;
total, 5,934,917 tons—an increase over 1894 of 787,377 tons.
The hopes of an improved condition in the anthracite coal
trade have not yet been realized ; on the contrary the aver
age rate reoeived for transportation of coal was 5 65 cents per
ton less than in the previous year, 1394. and the coal company
realized a loss upon the coal mined by it and that purchased
from individual operators of 13 48 cents per ton. The cost of
production was somewhat less than for 1894, notwithstanding
a charge of atout 6 cents per ton on the entire tonnage for
permanent improvements and a heavy loss by tire at
Wyoming mines.—V. 61, p. 1155.

In the annual report President H. R Djval says in part:
General Rem ilts.— During the first six months of the fiscal
year the earniogs had increased in comparison with the first
six months of the previous year 43 per cent on an increased
mileage of 40 per cent. Oo the 2-hh of D ecember there came
a blighting cold, which destroyed a crop of citrus fruit estL

dollars, and offering a freight traffic to the Florida lines during the n*xt three months of about $3JO.OOO. This was fol
lowed in February by another extreme cold ware, which cut
the citrus trees to the ground and destroyed a large crop of
early vegetables. The loss in merchandise freight, express
and local passenger travel incident to the economy forced
upon the people by the disaster, cannot be estimated.
Florida has had no such destructive cold since 1835, and
with its normal temperature prevailing for the next three or
four years, its citrus product will be restored to its former
maximum, while each year should show large increases in
vegetable traffic. No injury was done to the ordinary farm
crops, but the extent of the damage can be best appreciated
by the knowledge that the citrus crop equaled one sixth in
value the total agricultural productof the State. The extreme
cold of February also diverted the usually profitable tourist
travel.
It is estimated that under normal conditions the earnings of
your compiiny over operating expenses would have been not
less than $1,000,000 this year.
There was operated last year an average of 799‘39 miles,
this year, 933'18 miles j the Like Weir branch finished in Deoember (was not operated), 7 57 miles, making a total of 940-75
miles.
The phosphate traffic has been dull during the year, but
miners and dealers anticipate an improvement next year, de
pendent, though, upon a revival of agriculture in the world
at large. Great inteiest is being taken in tobacco planti ng,
the crop of which this season in Middle Florida w a B one mil
lion two hundred thousand pounds. There was none, com
mercially speaking, a few years ago.
On the' South Bourd Division (135 miles) the gross earnings
were $325,588 and net over taxes $25,814 ; from which must
be deducted interest on bonds $101,650, leaving a deficit of
$75,836. The extra expenditure on tbs division for maintens nee .will contit ue for another year, after which the road
will be in condition for maintenance at the average moderate
cost.
E xten sion s. Im provem ents, E tc. —The absorption of the
Florida Southern RR. and the Sanford & St. Petersburg RR.
by the Plant System determined the necessity of your com
pany’s b u i l d i D g short feeders into productive territory, and
this Lake Weir Extension was made first as the one promis
ing an immtdiate return of i t s cost. Other proposed exten
sions were postponed until the territory considered should
become a g a i n prosperous.
Permanent improvements have been made to the old lines
during the year and charged to construction account, amount
ing to $49,492. The new Union Passenger Station of Jackson
ville was completed and opened on Feb. 1, 1895.
The F lo rid a East Coast R ailw ay (late the Jacksonville St.
Augustine & Indian River Railway) is being extended from
Lake Worth southward 100 miles to some point on Biscayne
Bay, The development along its line is remarkable, and its
results will benefit your company now that it has close and
equal connection with it.
The road and equipment are well maintained and have
never been in such good condition as at present.

( R e p o rt f o r the y ea r en d in g J u n e SO, 1895.J
President B. Newgass refers to the foreclosure sale and reorganiza ion of the property, and then says :
G en eral R esu lts. —The operations for the year show an in
crease in the revenue of $51,594 and a decrease in the expen
diture of $65,582 in comparison with the year ending June
80, 1894. These results have been achieved by the introduc
tion of proper economies, conjointly with the adoption of the
requisite steps to ensure an increased revenue, special atten
tion being given to the development of the local resources.
P h ysical C on d ition . —The condition of the track, buildings,
etc., is good and compares favorably with that of other roads
in the section. The improvements made will considerably
reduce the proportion of working expenses. There were put
into the track during the year 100,411 cross-ties, the cost of
which was defrayed out of earnings.
In addition to the 75 standard freight cars purchased in the
period covered by this report and six passenger cars since,there are still required about 100 box cars and two to four
locomotives of a heavier calibre than those now in use. No
new locomotives or freight or passenger cars other than those
mentioned have been purchased during the last five years.
F in a n cia l. —The company has no floating debt or obligations
outstanding other than the first mortgage bonds. On comple
tion of the improvements in progress the company will possess
the maiD line and branches; entire rolling stock and floating
equipment, &c.; terminals at West Norfolk and Danville, and
not less than $25 ',000 of its bonds in the treasury.
E xten sion s. —During the next year or two it is essential for
the real prosperity of the road to extend it beyond its present
western terminus. Such an extension was strongly recom
mended to the bondholders by several expert engineers. At
Danville the road is within a comparatively short distance of
the coal fields, which, when tapped, would yield a reliable and
annually increasing traffic to the sea ooast and to important
points upon the line, practically without coming into compe
tition with the neighboring coal-carrying roads.
S ta tistics. —Results for four years past have been as follows:

The general mercantile situation ought to justify the ex

tees. The annual report covers a period of thirteen months
ending October 31. 1895. The net earnings of the r a i l r o a d de
partment were $147,683, and the mining department $.>7,-too.
The fixed charges are $333,650, and President Gowen says the
results since the opening of the new extension justify the
estim ites on which the property was reorganized. For October the net earnings of the two properties were upward of
$29,000.—V. 61, p. 1013.
Colorado Fuel & Iron.—D ivid end s .—At Denver this week
a semi-annual dividend of 1 per cent was declared upon the
company’s preferred B to c k . The last previous dividend was
4 per cent in scrip in February, 1891. This payment will
leave 12 per cent in dividends in arrears.
President J . C. Osgood, who has rceontly returned from the West, Is
quoted as saving: Colorado Is the brightest place In the oountry todav. Owing to Its large production of gold all industries In the State
have been stimulated. The iuoreaaod activity is upon a pound aud
healthy basis. The Colorado Fuel &Iron Company is earning at least
25 per ceut net more than last year, it has no floating debt, ana its
prospects were never more satisfactory than at present. V. o i, p.

in the United States Circuit Court in Charleston, S. C., lias
appointed W. E. Huger receiver of this company, which
owns wharves, warehouses, terminal tracks, &c., at Charles

necessary.

F erry . <frc.—The Flint & Pere Marquette has ordered
a steel car ferry steamer to cost some $300,000. The
steamer will carry thirty loaded cars and will ply between
Manitowoc and Ludington, on Lake Michigan. The cost of
the vessel will be defrayed in part from land grant sales, An
arrangement has been made with the Pennsylvania RR.
whereby that company will use a portion of the F. & P. M.
track to enable it to reach Detroit, and the F. & P. M. will be
given terminal facilities at Toledo.—V. 61, p. 558, 795.
Galveston La Porte & Houston Ry.—R eceiv ersh ip — Par
ties interested say the receivership is a friendly proceeding,
and will enable them, through the use of receiver’s certifi
cates, to complete the road, so that it will be ready for opera
tion within two or three months. None of the $1,000,000
bonds authorized, it is said, have ever been sold.—V. 63, p. 84.
Georgia Midland & G ulf RR.—Sale O rd ered.— The fore

continue for five years from Jan. 2, 1896. The agreement
prepared provides for the appointment of Messrs. Willis B.

A. Jenks (President Slater National Bank, also President
Fales & Jenks Manufacturing Company, of Pawtucket, R.I.),
and John A. Shilbey (of Messrs Dean & Shilbey, Bankers,
Providence, R.I.), as voting trustees for the period named.
In our advertising columns will be found a circular issued by
Messrs. John H. Davis & Co. relating to the matter.—V. 60,
p. 1143.
Illin ois Central R R .— Official C ir c u la r —President Stuyvesant Fish has sent to the stockholders under date of Jan. 11
a circular relating to the operations of the road for the halfyear ending Dec. 31. He calls attention to the increase in the
gross earnings for this period of about $1,436,000 and in net
of $1,187,000 (December estimated), and says :
The crops of corn, of spring wheat and of other small grain have been
nnusualty abundant throughout all the country. True, the winterwheat harvest was unsatisfactory and cotton has yielded less abun
dantly than last year; for these losses the increased prloe to the grow
ers affords some compensation In giving them a greater capacity to
buy and consume. Corn, however, forme in one shape or another,'the
basts of railroad earnings, and tho enormous orop of this year, of
which Imt little has as y>-r gone to market, Insures a steady iuerease in
tonnage. During each of the last five weeks a larger volume of corn
has been shipped from New Orloane than from New York. For the
thirteen weeks from Oet. 6 to Deo. 29 the total exports of oorn from
United States ports were 21,965,010 bushels, an increase of 18,985.423
bushelB compared with the previous year. Of these amounts there
were snipped from New Orleans this year 5,452,829 bushels, against
888,898 bushels from New York, whereas last year for the same
period tho shipments from New Orleans aggregated only 157,436
bushels, us against 1,299,097 bushels from Now York.
[Vol. l x i i .
The distance from Chioago to New York and to New Orleans being
the same (913 miles), and the center of the production of oorn and
other grain lying to the west and south of Chicago, it is obvious that,
with our low grades and our freedom from the paymeDt of arbitrary
charges for the use of bridges or teimlnals. we can continue to hold
tills l radio. Our oontrol, under one management of the railways from
the point of production to tlie sea and our owuershin of the wharves
and elevators at New Orleans enable us to give quick dispatch to ves
sels, and to return our oars northward without delay.
The circular closes as follows :
Even if our confident expectation of increased earnings
during the remainder of the year should fail, we already have
from traffic a sufficient gain to Day, more than twice over, the 5
per cent dividend on the $10,000,060 of fresh capital recently au
thorized. The interest on the funded debt has been reduced
by the extension, at 4 per cent, of the $2,500,000 (£500,000) of
6 ppr cent bonds which matured April 1, 1895, and by the
usual payment of $50,000 (£10,000) of 5 per cent bonds through
the Binking fund. On the other hand we have collected in
cash some $800,000 of interest, w lich has been accumulating
for eight years, on the Cedar Falls & Minnesota bonds, pur
chased last year, as well as a full year’ s interest (viz., the
coupons due February 1 and August 1, 1895, on the first mort
gage bonds of the Chesapeake Ohio & South western RR. Co. In
anticipation of the maturity of the $7,000,000 loan contracted
in 1895. we have already paid $2,000,000, leaving outstanding
$5,000,000, against which we hold some $7,250,000 of first
mortgage bonds yielding an income of over $450,000 per
annum — V. 61, p. 1154.

E a rn in g s an d In terest C h arge .—The interest charge on the
$3,100,009 new bonds will be $105,000 per annum, which sum,
the committee says, has undoubtedly been earned “ during
each of the past two years of unprecedented hard times, when
a proper deduction is made for the excessive cost of mainte
nance charged to operating expenses by the receiver.” With
a return to prosperous condition dividends on the preferred
stock are thought “ highly probable,”
The committee states the earnings for the two years ending
July 31, 1895 and 1894 [1893-94 being seven days short of a
full year], as follows:

pons to Jan. 1,1896, $490,000; consol. 5s, $1,629,000; car trust
liens (maturing to Sept. 27, 1899), $260,985; due connecting
roads (a prior lien to first mortgage under laws of Kentucky),
$115,224; right of way, old claims, cost o f reorganization, etc.,
$140,000. For economical operation of road it is necessary,
the committee says, that $100,000 be expended on the proper
ty as soon as possible; such an expenditure, it is estimated,
will reduce operating expenses $25,000.—V. 61, p. 794.

valuation of this company’s real estate from $13,544,700, which it was last year, to $27,219,000. This proceed
ing is said to be for the purpose of offsetting the company’s
claim for exemption on a large portion of its personal proper
ty. The assessment will be taken by the company into the
courts, for the increase with a tax rate of $20 per $1,000 would
mean an additional payment of $273,000 yearly.—V. 61, p. 871

Northern Pacific RR.—R eceivers. —At Washington, D C.,
on Tuesday and Wednesday, Judges Field, Harlau, Brown
and Brewer, of the Supreme Court in Chambers, gave a
hearing to the attorneys who are interested in having the
receivership of the Northern Pacific Railroad consolidated.
The attorneys present were ex-3enator Spooner nnd Mr.
Turner, whr appeared for the Farmers' Lran & Trust Com
pany; Mr. Pettit for the railroad company, Joseph H. Choate
for the Adams Reorganization Committee, and Mr. Cardoza
for the Livingston Committee of second mortgage bond
holders. While ail the attorneys were agreed as to the urgent
need for a single receivership there was much difference of
opinion as to which Court should have jurisdiction.
Mr. Spooner and Mr. Turner contended for the recognition
of the Circuit Court for the Eastern District o f W iscm -in,
Mr. Carl izi for the recognition of th** Minnesota Ciurc,
Mr. Pettit for that of the State of Washington, Mr. Choate
for the Wisconsin Court. The Judges asked the several
attorneys to prepare such orders as they might wish to have
promulgated, to be submitted to them at a future meeting
which the Judges will hold for consultation.
This proceeding is a novel one in the history of American
jurisprudence, and no one can say what action will be taken.
Counsel desire the Justices to agree upon an order, to be en
tered upon the records of ail the Circuit Courts in the several
circuits, directing that one Court be recognized as possessing
primary jurisdiction, proceedings in other circuits to be ancilliary thereto. Should the Justices conclude that they have
not the power to issue such an order, then it is desired that
a recommendation be made to the various Circuit Judges that
they aco-de to the designation o f one of the circuits as hav
ing the jurisdiction.
Land Selections.—Additional land selections approved by
the Secretary of the Interior are reported as follows: 53.538
acres in th“ Vancouver and Spokane Falls district, Washing

Ohio S inthern RR.—Reorganization Committee.—At a
meeting at the office of R J, h.imoall& Co. on Thursday of
the holders at Ohio Southern stock and second mortgage
bonds a statement was made regarding the condition of the
company. The floating debt was stated to amount to about
§370,000, not including $56,000 in interest due on 4 per e n t
bonds. It was represented that if pressing claims aggregating
some $'200,000, were satisfied, the property might be restored
to the company. A suggestion was made that an assessment
of 6 per *-ent on the stock [for which assessment scrip could
be given] and the funding into scrip of three-years’ coupons
on the seconds would be all that is necessary to avoid ’ oreclosure. A resolution was pissed requesting that M-ssrs. Ru*b
C. Hawkins, W. G. Wiley and E. L. Oppenbeim be ad led to
the existing second mortgage bondholders' committee, now
composed of Messrs. John I. Waterbury, James D. Smith
and J. S. Bache.

Pullman Palace Car Litigation.—At Philadelphia, on
Monday, Judge Butler, in the United States Circuit Court,
awarded the Central Transportation Co. $3,553,000 and eleven
years’ interest in its old suit against the Pullman Palace Car
Co. for recovery of rentals. The Judge in so doing confirmed
the report of the Master to whom the case had been referred.
This decision is merely one step in a long legation . The case
will be appealed to the Supreme Court. With reference to
the matter the Pullman Palace Car Co. says ;
The decision referred to 1» not at all a final one. as the ease will be
appealed 10 a hither court. When a former -utt la this matt-r was oarried to the United States Supreme Court tt w«e decided that the Central
Transportation Comp my had no power wbstever to make such a lease,
and that It was Invalid. It is not at all likely tha* the higher court will

The movement of general merchandise is increasing slowly.
The inquiry i3 principally for thoroughly staple goods and
confined as closely as possible to quantities adapted to natural
early requirements, merchants still hesitating about becom
ing involved in extensive obligations. A continued measure
of uncertainty in reference to the financial outlook serves as
a check upon general trade development and contracts specu
lative dealings in leading commodities to narrow compass.
The quantity of grain coming into sight at the West is falling
away somewhat, but still shows considerable excess over the
movement at corresponding time last year. There has been a
decrease in the output of flour at Western milling centres,
partly in consequence of unsatisfactory water power. Cured
meats have strengthened in value upon the stimulating influ
ence of small receipts of swine at packing centres. Variable
temperature is reported from winter-wheat localities, without
claims of serious damage.
Busi iess in the market for lard on the spot has continued
moderately active and prices have again advanced, closing
firm at D-9bc. for prime Western, 5-4iic. for prime City and
6-20c. for refined for the Continent. There has been no trad
ing in the local market for lard futures, but nominal prices
have been quoted higher, in response to stronger advices
from the West, where there has been moderate buying, prin
cipally by “ shorts” to cover contracts, stimulated by light
receipts of swine at primary points, closing firm.

Spx cut ition in cotton for future delivery at this market has
again been upon a limited scale. Orders from outside sources
were exceedingly scarce, and a large portion of the trading
was between local operators for quick turns. Many engage
ments for the next t * o months have been switched forward
into later positions. Daring Saturday the movement was
principally in way of settling small deals, with longs s -lliog
out in the m roiog, causing a drop of 6 points, followed by
recovery to 2 points net loss on covering demand. Daring
Monday and Taes lay there were numerous fluctuations in price
o f a moderate character, but in the main a weak undertone
prevailed under pressure to rf aims upon long engagements.
0 a Wednesday the offering became quite liberal in conse
quence of leas promising advices from Europe, and cost
dropped 7@8 points. At that decline, however, the market
became somewhat oversold., and yesterday after an opening
lo*8 of 2 points quite a smart demand to cover stimulated a
net gain of 7 points. To day’s market opened a shade firmer,
but under influence of larger crop movement than expected
closed easy at a points decline. Cotton on the ,pot has been
moderately tetive clewing at 8 8-18c, for middling uplands.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 788 800
bales. For immediate delivery the total sates foot up this week
8,793 bates, including 1,709for export, 793 for consumption,
— for speculation and 1,300 on contract. The following are
the official quotations f jr each day of the past week—
January 11 to January 17.

Friday , January 17, 1886,
A limited amount of business has been transacted in the
trail) brandsof wheat ilour and prices have held fairly steady,
bm the lower grades have been practically neglected and
prices have been barely maintained. For city mills there has
been a modern*!e intfu&y at about steady prices. No changes
have occurred in the market for rye ilour; business was
qui»t but prices were quoted steady. Buckwheat has coniinued to sell slowly, but values have held steady. Cornmeal
has been in slow request but steady. To-day the market for
wheat flour was quiet but steady.
Early in the week the market for wheat futures was weak
er and prices declined under liquidating sales by longs,”
prompted by the improved political situation in Europs and
dull and weaker foreign advices, Subsequently, however,
It-; favorable crop advices from Europe, India and the West
stimulated a demand from “ short* ” to cover contracts and
all of the loss was recovered. In the spot market shippers
were moderate buyers early in the week but later an ad
vance iu prices checked the demand. The sales yesterday in
cluded No. 1 Northern at 3c. over May f. o. b. afloat. To-day
the market was quiet and during early 'Change prices made
little change: toward the close however there was moderate
buying on reoorts of large purchases for export for forward
shipment and prices advanced. In the spot market there
was a rumor that large purchases had been made by shippers
for delivery during May and June, but nothing positive was
obtainable. Other business transacted was small and includ
ed No, 1 Northern at about 3c, over May f, o. b, afloat.

Foreign Dry G oods —Mire business has been reported in
general assortments of spring merchandise through purchases
from supplies in port, but importation orders are still checked
by tariff uncertainties.
TRADE.
The financial situation is the strongest governing fac or in
the situation at the moment, there being a general disposition
to take a more hopeful view of the political outlook. With
the prevailing monetary stringency and the uncertainty as to
its duration there is still a strong conservative disposition
evinced by the purchasing trade and business this week has
again bsen on a restricted scale. It would seem, however, as
though a number of buyers are close to a co idition wh'sre
absolute requirements will fo-ce them into the market
for supplies of staple lines, as there has been a marked
increase in the number of inquiries as to sellers’
views on prices and not a few tentative bids. The latter
Bhow a low idea of values among buyers and, although
sellers are generally indisposed to let pass opportunities of
doing business even at some concesdon, such bid 3 are rarely
entertained. The good weather has had a stimulating effect
on the retail trade here and elsewhere and business with jo b
bers has shown some expansion as the result. Collections
are not satisfactory in some quarters and not so good in others.
W oolen G oods.—I nterest this week has been centered
chiefly in the new lines of high-grade goods which have been
opened from day to day. These have not introduced any
new feature into the price situation, but they have given
buyers fuller opportunity to make selections; as a result
there has bien more business doing, and at the close of the
week a fair number of buyers were 'in attendance. The de
mand for low and medium grade goods in staple and fancy lines
of trouserings and suitings has been indifferent. The demand
for overcoatings continues limited a id chiefly low grade
plain faced varieties. Cloakings are in light request through
out. Satinets in dull demand as are cotto i-warp and union
cassimeres an 1 d leskii j lans. Flannels and blankets are
farm with little doing. Tae reorder demand for woolen and
worsted dress goods is moderate. Prices rule generally steady.
