the week covered by the
above statement will be given next Saturday. We 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.
We present below our usual detailed figures for the previous week, covering the returns for the period ending with
Saturday noon, Jan. 20, and the results for the corresponding
week in 1899, 1898 and 1897 are also given. In comparison
with the preceding weet there is a decrease in the aggregate
exchanges of one hundred and three-quarter million
dollars, the
loss at New York being ninety-two and a
half millions. Contrasted with the week of 1899 the total
for the whole
country shows a decline of 19'3 per
cent. Compared with the week of 1898 the current returns
record a gain of 20'0 per cent, and the excess over 1897 is 58-4
per cent.
Outside of New York the increase over 1899 is 06
per cent. The excess over 1898 reaches 23'1 per cent, and
making comparison with 1897 the gain is seen to be 49*1 p. c.

Another interesting railroad event of the

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
After the experiences of the current week we think
South Africa and the events happening, there can no
longer be held to be the controlling influence in Wall
Street.
Our stock market apparently has
a strength
which British reverses in South Africa cannot undermine, and it has a weakness which British success
cannot relieve. When every one was looking for disaster to General Warren's advancing column, unexpectedly it was announced that Spion Kop had been taken
and occupied—the supposed objective point for which
about two weeks of maneuvering and fighting had been
in progress.
The
success did not of course

Still another event to which the market seems to have given
a degree of importance was the election of Mr. D. 0.

This thought is
suggested by a decision rendered the present week.
In 1897 the State of South Dakota enacted a new law
for the regulation of railroads.
It was one of the most

appreciate fully the significance of these ^ains
for November, the facts stated in onr review of the
preliminary figures for that month should be recalled.
In brief, the improvement has been established in
hundred thousand
bales
cotton at the Southern outports
and a decrease of over 23 million bushels in the deliveries of grain at the Western primary markets, not
in the receipts
of
the smaller live-stock deliveries in the
same part of the country. Furthermore, the comto speak of
d an exceptionally heavy increase in 1897, the improvement then having been no
less than $11,321,425 in gross and $5,866,061 in net,

of the National Union Bank, which then will be more than
equivalent to those of the National Bank of Commerce in
New York. The effect of the proposed consolidation will be
to give to the National Bank of Commerce in New York
a capital and surplus larger than that of any bank in
the United States. The board of directors unanimously
xecommends the stockholders promptly to avail themselves
of this opportunity to increase the capital and surplus of the
National Bank of Commerce in New York and to acquire the
good-will, business and assets of an active, prosperous and
most important financial institution."

DEBT STATEMENT DECEMBER
London, Saturday, January 18, 1900.
Bnsinees is exceedingly stagnant upon the Stock Exchange,
and even in the money market there is exceedingly little
doing; but as the week draws to a close there is a better
feeling, partly due to the repulse of the Boers in their assault
upon Lady smith and partly to the arrival of Lord Roberts
and Lord Kitchener at Cape Town, and the hope that they
will infuse new spirit and new enterprise into the operation.
The greater ease of money at home and abroad is likewise

many German
operators, therefore, closed their accounts to
avoid paying heavy differences, and above all to risk the
refusal of bankers to lend. The selling went on until the
end of last week. This week it has quite come to an end, and
there has been some small buying by Germans of American
railroad securities.
however, the Germans are doing little, and the
home public is doing even less. Most persons prefer to keep
what money they have free until they can see their way
more clearly both as to the movements of the money market
and to the course of the war in South Africa. Moreover, the
very unfriendly feeling in Germany and all over the Continent, the reported movement of Russian troops towards the
Afghan frontier, and the alleged designs of Russia upon
Persia, all warrant operators here to be cau'ious for the
time being. We have such an immense force now locked up
in South Africa that nobody can tell whether some of our
ill-wishers may think the moment opportune for taking
action hostile to us. Therefore everybody just now is bound
to be cautious.
There is another reason why the markets are very quiet,
and that is the fear that trade, which has been so marvelously good, may receive a great check, partly because of the
war and partly because of the extraordinary rise in prices.
As
As
yet,
yet, fortunately, there is
no sign of any
real check.
Busi-
ness which people can put off is being put off. New comdanies and new loans are not being brought out; but on the
other hand, new companies and new loans are being arranged
for as soon as the market seems favorable, and manufacturers of all kinds are full of orders.
On Thursday the directors of the Bank of England reduced their rate of discount from 6 per cent to 5 per cent;
the arrivals of gold have been large and there is a great addition to the reserve of the Bank. The Bank of France instantly followed by lowering its rate from 4}^ per cent to 4
per cent, and on Friday the Imperial Back of Germany reduced its rate from 7 per cent to 6 per cent. The arrivals of
gold and the ease that has come over markets in Berlin and
New York have so greatly impressed bill-brokers and discount
housts here that money has become exceedingly easy, and
the discount rates in the open market fell away suddenly
and greatly. The fall was too rapid and was not justified;
but undoubtedly the Bank of England did right to reduce
its rate, partly because the rate had become ineffective but
mainly because it was pressmg severely upon trade. N( w,
however, all careful observers hope that the Bank will take
active measures to make a 5 per cent rate effective and that
rates will in consequence soon recover.
The Continental exchanges are all turning against London,
and it looks now as if much of the gold which was intended
to be sent here will not come. la the meantime, although
the Bank of England has attracted a gord deal of gold from
abroad, its reserve is still very small, and it has to face very
considerable demands upon the reserve. The Indian Government, before the great stringency began towards the end of
November, had "earmarked" in the Bank of England, roughly,
about three-quarters of a million sterling in gold.
On
Wednesday they "earmarked" another quarter of a million,
or rather somewhat more, and on Thursday they added
£10J,000, There is thus considerably over £1,100,000 of gold
which otherwise would be at the disposal of the Bank of
England locked up in the vaults which it cannot touch, and
as the demand for Council drafts is very strong, it is clear
that the India Council, if it pleases, can "earmark" a good
deal more.
On Thursday the Bink of Bombay and the Bank of Bengal
raised their rates to 8 p. c.,the export season being now in full
sway. The B ink of Bengal always increases its circulation
on a vtry large scale in January because of the demand for
money to move the Burtnah rice crop. That crop is very
large this year, and it is being bought up actively; and
therefore it is thought probable that the Bank of Bengal
will have to raise its rate still further. The Bank of Bombay is raising its rate mainly because of the cotton exports,
and both are no doubt affected by the famine. In these circumstances it is obviously advisable to increase the silver
circulation as much as possible. The Indian Government
holds in its note reserve a very large amount of rupees as a
security against its notes. Its object is to substitute gold
for rupees, paying the rupees out into circulation.
The
Government can attain its object either by selling Council
drafts freely in London and adding to its stock of gold in the
Bank of England, or by so restricting its sales of Council
drafts as to compel those who have to pay moneys in India to
send out gold. Whichever course it takes iti^ very probable
that a good deal of gold will go to India. Gold is still going

Railroad and Miscellaneons Stocks. The volume of business in stocks was even smaller than last week and the
market was unusually narrow. The railway list was neglected, transactions in that department being limited
chiefly to a few issues, and changes in quotations were gen
erally unimportant. Prices Avere fractionally lower at the
opening this morning on the unfavorable news from South
A^frica, but held steady through the day.
The local traction stocks were exceptional, Metropolitan
Street Railway covering a range of 8 poiots, Third Avenue
a range of 5}4 points and Brooklyn Rapid Transit a range
of 31/^ points. There was relative activity in Louisville &
Nashville, Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific, but all
were steady.
American Sugar Refining. American Tobacco and United
States Leather were the active features of the miscellaneous list, and each showed a tendency to weakness. Glucose Sugar and Steel & Wire advanced.

Business. The business of the past year has been satisfactory, the earnings of therailroal having shown substantial gains In all items excepting cotton, which shows a slight
decrease due to the decreased cotton production of the country tributary to your line of road, Th" traffic developed by
the western extension of your line to Weatherford has been
most gratifying. This extension was opened Oct. 31, 1898,
and in the twelve months following Weatherford grew fn
a hamlet of a few houses to a town of more than 3,500 people.
The development of Oklahoma has been steady and
rapid, and the whole Territory is in a prosperous condition
as a result of the bouatiful crops of the past three years.
All interests, however, are suffering irom the transition
state pending the carrying out of the provisions of the Act
of Congress under which the lands in the Indian Territory
will be allotted among the individual Indians.
Extension.—Dariug the year an extension to the Arkansas
line, a distance of eleven miles, was built, connecting with
the Choctaw
Memphis RR., which at the close of the
year was well advanced towards completion. The latter
has since been completed, and this company, on Dec.
Ist assumed its operation under the lease executed Jan. 6,
1899, The road has been built in a most substantial manner,
and your board see no reason to change the views heretofore
expressed as to the profitableness of this line to your company. The section of country through which the Choctaw
Memphis RR. extends has produced for many years past a
large amount of cotton and other agricultural products, and
there are at the same time large tracts of forest lands which
will furnish a heavy lumber business for years to come, both
pine and hard woods being found in abundance.
Coal Strike. Our coal business was disadvantageously affected by a strike throughout the entirf^ Indian Territory,
which was inaugurated in the month of March by the United
Mine Workers. The strike curtailed to some extent the output of your mines during the first two or three months of
its existence, and it necessarily resulted in increasing the
cost of the operation of the mines. The output of our mines
decreased from 426,53 S tons for the year 1898 to 419,813 tons
for the year 1899. The mines tributary to your road, other
than those operated by your company, increased their output from 126,645 tons to 210,198 tons.
Refunding.— Bariog the year all the prior lien 6 per cent
bonds were retired with the exception of $46,000. on which
interest has ceased.
Of the prior lien bonds retired, $591,000 were exchanged for general mortgage bonds and |363,000 were paid off. Owing to the financial conditions prevailing, a temporary arrangement to continue, pending the
sale of the general mortgage bonds, was made, by which the
amount necessary ;to pay off these prior lien bonds was
obtained.

Monday, owing to the opposition of the State director?, President Tattle of the B. & M. RR sent a letter to the officers of
the Fitchburg RR. withdrawing the proposition to lease

Lake Street Elevated RR. of Chicago.— Litigation.—The
United States Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the validity of $605,000 bonds held by Ziegler and his friends.
The matter, which may perhaps be again appealed, is independent of the main question at issue, namely, whether
Ziegler can compel the payment of interest on the full face
of the $605,000 bonds or whether he must accept 60 per cent
along with the other bondholders. The validity of the bonds
was questioned by the railroad company, whose appeal for
an accounting by Mr. Ziegler is now dismissed by the court
above named.— V. 68, p. 128.

the Massachusetts Seaate to authorize the company to issue
the remaining $3,391,100 of the total authorized issue of
$20,000,000 capital stock for any lawful purpose approved by

Seven million dollars have been spent on improvements since the
lease, all of which was payable by the Old Colony. This includes the
separation of grades at Brockton and on the Providence division.
Now grades must be separated at Taunton; at Fall River, costing
$800,000 or $900,000; at Middleboro, $120,000; at New Bedford and
Attleboro. The new bridge at Tiverton will cost $200,000. The company has received nearly $1,000,000 from sale of land to the Terminal
Company, and has other claims against it and against the Boston &

of Boston is in re-
ceipt of the following, under date of Alexandria, Jan. 6:
Our crop Is the largest over raised, but stock Is 500,000 cantars less
than last season and nearly all sold. The recent advance was caused
by news from the Soudan that the Nile was rapidly falling (now two
metres below same time last year). Our market is entirely In the
hands of speculators. The trade is not buying, preferring to await
developments. We believe that we shall advance further until facts
prove that the water supply will be better than now feared The
Government has placed £100,000 (Egyptian) at disposal for cuttlnsr
through the great sudd or weed barriers on the White Nile iu the
Soudan, which Impede both the passage of boats and tbe flow of water
into the river-bed of the Nile, The waste of water from times immemorial on the Soudan Is Immense. Careful construotlou by the Canal
Engineers will be a great problem and may takeyear.s to accountlish
It now looks as if Egyptian cotton, on account of the great increase of
mercerized yarns and other novelties, is independent and regardless of
values of other growths of stapled cottons.

undertone of the market holding fairly steady. Tho export

reported rather freer country acceptances, with prospects
favorable for something of an increase in the crop movement.

Speculation in oats for future delivery at the Western
market has been dull and prices have gradually sagged,
showing a fractional loss.
Demand has been slow, and
with fair country offerings, and an expected increase in the
crop movement, there has been an easy undertone. Locally
the spot market has held steady. There has been a moderate
inquiry from the home trade, and there has been some buying by exporters. To-day there was a quiet market. The
crop movement was fairly full. The spot market was steady.

BREADSTUFFS.
Friday, Jan. 26, 1900.
Business in the market for wheat flour has been more
active and there has been some improvement in values. Tde
increase in the demand was most pronounced early in the
week, when fair purchases were made by both exporters and
Subsequently, however, prices showed a

tendency to advance, but as buyers, as a rule, were not dis
posed to raise their bids, the higher figures asked held business
in check. City mills have had a fairly large sale at full value?. Rye flour has been in slightly better demand; prices
have been unchanged and steady. Buckwheat flour has been
quiet and prices have declined. Corn meal has moved slowly,
but values have held steady.
Speculation in wheat for future delivery has not broadened
materially, there being only a very moderate amount of
activity to the trading prices, however, have shown an upward tendency, as there has been less disposition to sell.
Developments, as a rule, have been favorable to higher

damage in France and Russia, and foreign markets have advanced. Crop accounts from the interior also have been less
favorable, and during the latter part of the week a report
that the shipments of wheat from Argentine to Europe are
likely to be stopped, due to the appearance of the bubonic
plague at Rosario, had its influence in favor of the market.
Despite, however, the above factors, there has been comparatively little disposition shown to take the bull side of
the market, and in the absence of an aggressive demand prices have made only a very moderate advance. The
demand for "cash" wheat has shown a tendency to contract
at the higher prices asked, exporters showing no especial
anxiety to obtain supplies, and this has been one of the principal factors in holding the upward turn to values in check.
To-day there was a more active and higher market on decidedly stronger French cables, the British reverses in South
Africa and the bubonic plague in Argentine. Business in
the spot market was quiet; the sales for export to-day here
and at the outports were 88,000 bushels.

Heavy brown sheetings and drills have been in rather
better home request, but still slow for export. Prices
are firm in leading makes for near deliveries, but sellers
easier to deal with on distant positions.
Four-yards and
lighter weights firm. Fine grey goods firm for spots but
irregular for forward deliveries. Ducks and brown osnaburgs are steady. Conditions in bleached cottons are unaltered; the jobbing demand is poor but manufacturing
trades fair buyers. Prices firm.
Wide sheetings and cotton
flannels and blankets strong.
Quilts heavily sold ahead and
firm. Denims are tending upwards, and other coarse colored
cottons are in a stong position. Kid- finished cambrics quiet
and unchanged. In printed calicoes the best demand has been
for indigo blues, which have sold freely at recent advance in
prices.
Shirting prints, mournings and other staples in fair
request and firm. Fancy calicoes generally quiet. Ginghams
are strong throughout. Dark napped fabrics for fall in good
request. Print cloths inactive for regulars at 3}^c. Odd
goods in fair demand but easier for distant positions.

Foreign Dry Goods. Moderate business is reported in
dress goods at firm prices. Silks are quiet but firm. Ribbons in rather better request. Laces steady. Linens very
strong and still tending against buyers. Burlaps are firm
but quiet.

New
York, Friday, P. M., January 26, 1900.
The demand for cotton goods has shown] some improve-
ment during the week, but has not yet reached importdimensions in any directions.
Good
ant
supplies
are still going forward to jobbers and others on existing
orders, and these tend to keep supplementary buying for the
present within moderate limits. There is no weakening in
the price of goods on the spot, nor for near deliveries, to
tempt buyers, but for more distant positions the market for
staple cottons is barely as firm as of late. The jobbing trade
continues active in all quarters, and reports coming to hand
show one of the largest January's business on record. Requirements during the next two months should be on a liberal scale, and there does not seem to be any likelihood of
further stocks in the primary market meanwhile.
The
woolen goods division of the market has been unusually
active, opening of important lines of men's- wear fabrics for
fall releasing an extensive demand, with business in dress
goods for fall also developing. The new prices show heavy
advances over those named at the opening of the last fall season. Collections continue good.
Woolen IGoods.— The chief feature in the men's-wear
woolen goods division has been the opening of the American
Woolen Company's fall lines of staples and fancies. These
were shown to the trade on Monday and since then an unusually active demand has been experienced. The prices
named show advances of from 20 to 33 per cent over a year
ago and have been paid without demur. The sales of the
for the week are reported well in excess of $10,000,000 and at the close a number of lines have been withdrawn,
sold up. In other directions a fair amount of business has
been done without special feature. Business in overcoatings
and cloakings has been quiet without change in prices.

by one Martindale if the Board issued bonds payable in gold.
The ground for this threat was a law passed by a Populist
Legislature in 1893 declaring that all obligations "jto be paid
in money, if not dischargeable in United States legal tender
notes, shall be payable in either the standard silver or gold
coins authorized by Congress."
