THE CHRONICLE.
"What accounts for the smaller outward movement
o f wheat in the late year as compared with the year
preceding ? It cannot be charged to crop failure
or lack of supplies.
The crop was not a full one
in either year, the winter-wheat harvest having been
deficient. The Agricultural Bureau at Washington
estimated the production a little larger in 1895 thau
in 1894, at 467 milllion bushels against 460 million,
but it is thought by many that this was an under
estimate in both years and particularly in 1895, when
the spring-wheat harvest exceeded all anticipations and
proved really phenomenal in extent.
The visible
supply of wheat, too, as reported by the New York
Produce Exchange, was somewhat heavier in June 1896
than in June 1895, being stated at 47,860,000 bushels
against 44,561,000 bushels. This does not embrace
farmers’ stocks at all, but covers simply the accumu
lations at the principal markets, and it is evident that
the amount could have been drawn down considerably
if there had been any active demand, and yet left an
ample supply for home wants.
Study of the results seems to show that the wheat
exports were further reduced because there was a
smaller European demand, and that this in tu rn fol*
lowed from better crops. The details of the shipments
are as yet available only for the eleven months to May
31 ; but these furnish corroborative evidence in sup.
port of the statement made. The United Kingdom took
only 7,724,128 bbls. of flour in the eleven months of
1895-96, against 8,315,530 bbls. in the eleven months of
1894 95 and only 39,864,373 bushels of wheat against
50,962,049 bushels. A t the same time Germany took
only 740,521 bushels against 2,478,149 bushels, and
France but 122,099 bushels against 1,596,791 bushels,
while the rest of Europe in the same eleven months
took but 7,056,909 bushels against 12,715,362 bushels
We have sent as much as 42,139,488 bushels to France
in a single year (1891-92), and these diminished takings
by Europe indicate generally better crops there.
As far as the falling ofE in the shipments to Great
Britain is concerned, the question arises whether the
United Kingdom took less from us because she im
ported less altogether or because she got larger sup
plies from other countries ? We have examined the
English statistics for an answer to this question with
considerable interest. These statistics show that in
the eleven months to May 31 Great Britain took prac
tically the same quantity this year as last— that is,
the flour importations were a little larger at 18,051,580
cwts. against 17,455,081 cwts., but the importations of
wheat were a little smaller at 67,709,630 cwts. against
68,041,216 cwts.
Curiously enough in this case
the statistics do not show any falling off in
the takings from the United States. The de
cline in the imports of flour appears, but the
imports of wheat actually figure up a little larger for
1895-6 than for 1894 5, being given as 24,003,200 cwts
against 23,844,721 bushels. I t is instructive to note
however, that Russia furnished 19,712,200 ewts.^
against only 17,340,922 cwts. in 1894-5 and but
12,1 75,383 cwts. in 1893 4, and that from Roumania
the United Kingdom got 3,435,600 cwts., against
190,765 and 114,388 cwts. respectively in the two years
preceding, and from India 6,718,650 cwts., against
5,047,785 and 6,884,125 respectively. On the other
hand, the Argentine Republic furnished only 6,925,000
cwts., against 12,051,558 cwts. and 7,819,334 cwts.;
Australasia 1,346,900 cwts., against 4,290,931 and
2,243,517 cwts., and Chili but 944,800 cwts., against
[ V ol.
Lxm .
1,227,082 and 2,846,913 cwts.— all of which shows
quite considerable shifting in the sources of supply.
But if the increase in our breadstufEs shipments did
not come from an augmentation in the outflow of
wheat and flour, to what is the increase to be attrib
uted? There was in the first place a very decided ex
pansion in the shipments of corn. The outward
movement of that cereal was next to the largest on
record, falling only alittle short of 100 million bushels—
in exact figures 98,851,765 bushels; in the previous
year the shipments were only 27,691,137 bushels. Two
circumstances made possible these large corn exports,
namely the excellent harvest of corn last season and
the very low prices ruling. I t will be noted from the
table first above that the average price at which the
exports were made in the late year was only 37"9 cents
per bushel and that this was the very lowest
figure for the whole of the twenty-three years included
in our table. Because of the low price received the
increase in the shipments did not add as much to the
aggregate export values as would otherwise have been
the case. Nevertheless the total at $37,436,813 for
1896 compares with only $14,650,767 for 1895, furnish
ing thus an addition of nearly 23 million dollars.
This 23 million dollars, however, does not account
for the whole of the increase in the breadstufEs ex
ports. Comparison of the figures shows that at least
7 million dollars increase must have come from
other sources. I t is found that there have been
largely increased shipments of both barley and oats;
of the former we appear to have sent out 7,675,363
bushels in 1896 against only 1,560,061 bushels in 1895,
the values being $3,099,665 against $767,216, and of
oats 12,935,669 bushels against but 567,043 bushels,
the values being $3,479,769 against $199,606. These
enlarged exports of course reflect the excellent har
vests of these crops last year, and the movement is sig
nificant as showing that at low prices we can find a mar
ket for considerable amounts even of our minor grains.

NET
E A R N IN G S
FOR
MAY.
We need hardly say that our statement of gross and
net earnings for May makes an unfavorable showing.
A ll the preliminary returns had foreshadowed such a
result. In the gross our compilation shows an in
crease of but $271,001, or only about one-half of 1 per
cent; in the net a loss of $1,106,871, or 7-13 per cent.
The following is the summary :

The comparisons have been growing quite steadily
poorer ever since February. In the gross, while now
the increase is only $271,001, or'0'51 per cent, for
April it was $692,936, or 1-37 per cent; for March,
$1,267,412, or 2'32 percent; for February, $4,049,430,
or 9-03 per cent, and for January, $4,662,219, or 8-94
per cent. In net, while now we have $1,106,871 loss,
or 7-13 per cent, in A pril the loss was only $279,299,
or 1-85 per cent; in March only $190,664, or 1-13 per
cent, whereas in he....ary there was $2,019,633 or
17-97 per cent gain, and in January $2,328,294 gain,
or 16-91 per cent.
I t is to be said that the conditions and circumstances
controlling the revenues of the roads made any but a
poor exhibit for May out of the question. The month

having contained five Sundays, had one business day
less than the same month last year. Then the indus
trial situation wa3 very unsatisfactory because of the
political a a i financial uncertainties. In the South
and Southwest a good many of the roads) still suffered
from a smaller c >tton movement. In the West the
grain movement, from having shown a striking increase
over last year in the months preceding, for May
actually recorded a falling off at quite a number of
points. Finally, comparison now is with much better
results in 1895 than was the case in the earlier months.
In May last year the increase had been #3,476,874 or
6-95 per cent in the gross and #2,809,965 or 21-79 per
cent in the net. The gaia then was large, however,
mainly because there had been a very extraordinary
loss in the year preceding— 111,935,834, or 19-51 per
cent, in the gross, and $6,253,373, or 33-79 per cent, in
the net. Tne following carries the comparisons back
for a number of years.
99
When arranged in groups., the Southern group
appears to be3t advantage, having $898,080 or 6 per
cent gain in gross and $77,458 or 4-95 per cent gain
in net. Only three other groups have gains in gross
besides the Southern and only two gains in net, the
amount of the gain being small in each case. The
Anthracite Coal group, the Middle Western and the
Northwestern all show large ratios of decline in net—
in excess of 20 per cent each.

Not less us-ful are the comments which Col. Grosvenor
makes on the figures. He says that the failure of the National
Cordage Co. swelled the “ other ” manufacturing liabilities
last year in June by $9,160,000 ; otherwise that class of fail
ures would have been larger this year than in 1895 or 1894.
He notes that in woolen goods, lumber, manufactures and
machinery, liabilities were very much larger for the second
quarter than in either of the previous years, but thatin trading
the comparison is curiously close for the three years, as well
in amount of liabilities as in number of failures, and also in
most of the important branches, though a considerable de.
crease from last year appears in general stores. W ith refer
ence to the mercantile disasters for the half-year he well says
it is very helpful to keep in mind the large failures, which cause
abnormal variations from the general course of things. Thus,
besides the Cordage failure already mentioned there were in
May of last year failures of the Minneapolis stock yards,
of a logging concern at Minneapolis for 8800,000, and of two
hat and fur concerns of the East for $500,000. In March
manufacturing failures were swelled by that of a Buffalo
malster for $2,500,000 and two tobacco concerns for $600,000,
besides the Wood Harvester Works, In 1894 in the same
month came the failure of Isaac Prouty, shoe manufacturer,
for .$900,000, and some others for smaller amounts. In gen
eral, Col. Grosvenor observes, manufacturing failures are apt
to vary much more widely than failures in trading, on account
of the magnitude of liabilities frequently involved in a single
default.

[From oar own correspondent. 1
L o n d o n . S a t u r d a y , J u ly 4. 1896.
The unexpected strength shown by the Silverite Party and
the fear that the Chicago Convention will declare for free-
money.
The silver market is q u iet; there is no eagerness to sell,
and there is very little demand, and the price fluctuates
around 31J^d. per ounce. The India Council continues to sell
its drafts wonderfully well, having disposed of the whole five
lacs offered for tender on Wednesday at an average price of
Is. 2 8-16d, per rupee.
The most notable incident of the week is the announce
ment yesterday morning that the Midland Railway Co., one
of the very greatest of British companies, has decided to con
vert its preference stock into a new stock bearing a lower rate
of interest, and to divide its ordinary stock into preferred and
deferred, the preferred being entitled to a fixed dividend and
the deferred taking whatever may remain over. Splitting of
stock bas been much advocated for years past, but the really
great companies have hitherto refused to move. The action
on the part of the Midland makes it likely that the other com
panies w ill gradually follow suit. On the announcement,
there was an almost immediate rise in the Midland ordinary
stock of £7.
Money having become very easy once more, there is a
steady move upward in all first-class securities. They appear
extravagantly high, but no doubt they w ill go higher and w ill
be maintained for some time at extravagant quotations, be
cause money can be borrowed so cheaply that there is a very
considerable profit on the transaction. The difficulty w ill
come when money becomes scarce and every one wants to
realize. There is also a very strong demand for British in
dustrial securities.
Argentine securities are again moving upwards, but the
public is still holding aloof from the American department.
The impression here is that the Democratic Convention will
declare for free silver, but the British public, of course, is un.
able to judge as to the prospects of the party at the coming
elections. Inter-bourse securities are well maintained.
The dividends announced by the joint-stock banks so far
are wonderfully good, considering the extraordinary cheap
ness of money during the half-year and the comparative ab
sence of speculation. One of the very greatest of the banks
(the London and Westminster) declares a dividend at the
rate of 10 per cent per annum with a bonus o f I per cent.
Twelve months ago the distribution was at the rate of 10 per

ditures for betterments and additions, amounting to $288,067,
the Driucipal items being: Ballasting 139 miles of tract,
$57,055 ; new sidings, 7 miles, $34,308; seven locomotives
and five passenger, etc., cars $91,736 ; spur,
miles, $33,347.
These expenditures were exceptionally large. It is estimated
that they will be considerably less in 1896.
The decrease of 3-88 per cent in passenger earnings resulted
mainly from the prevalence of excursion rates. The decrease
of 17-31 per cent in freight earnings resulted mainly from the
shortage in the cotton crop, the comoany having carried but
430,034 bales against 643,013 bales in 1894. The exhaustion of
the sandstone quarries at Ledbetter, which had furnished a
large amount of stone for the jetties at G ilv e s o i, and the
abandonment of paving contracts in Houston, largely de
creased the tonnage of stone, granite and gravel. A supirior
sandstone has been found at Miliican, and large siipnaents of
sandstone have been contracted for. The cotton crop of the
State was exceptionally large in 18)4, wh le that of 1895 was
considerably below the average, being only about 3,059,090
bales, against 3,375,958 bales in 1894. Tbe total freight carried
decreased 7-49 per cent, ton miles 4-78 per cent and earnings
17-31 per cent.
Ot the 1.068,483 revenue tonnage tor the year 308.289 tons were
products o f agrioulture, o f which 126,323 cotton, 89,116 grain and
flour and 57,321 cotton seed. Live stook and animal products con
tributed 84,n20 tons, stone sand and like articles 206,529 tons, bitu
minous coal 42,197 and hunher and forest products 198,718. The av
erage number of tons carried per freight train was 149-65.
Outlook — Vhe large decrease in the cotton crop, one of the
staple products of the S a"e of Tex is, will naturally be re
12.158 flected in tbe diminished earnings of th= company, particu
........... larly in the earlier months of the year, and until there is some
.......... certainty as to the current year’s crops.

Maintenance.—As to maintenance, etc., the report says :
Interest Ciurges aud Surplus. -T h e following Street
railways, in addition to their gross and net earnings given in
the foregoing, also report charges for interest, &c., with the
surplus or deficit above or below those charges.

As regards the cost of maintenance of way and structures
the decrease o f 34-45 per cent resulted entirely from the large expen
ditures in 1894. The cost per mile of main track and siding on this
account in 1895 was *740. The physical condition o f the roadway,
bridges and structures has heen fully maintained. There were used
in repairs and renewals during the year new steel rails (G i lbs, per
yard) 3 63 miles; cross-ties (burnetized) 2 )5,321; oross-ties (untreated)
16,097; percentage of renewal o f total number in track, 12-40.
Equipment.—Although the expenses for the year included the cost
of two new 1 'x'24 eight-w heel passenger locomotives, two new pas
senger ears and 25 refrigerator cars, the expenses are less than those
for 1894 by 23-10 per cent, mainly beoause of the large amount of
work done both ou locomotives and ctrs in 1891. The company owns
104 locomotives, 80 passenger oars of all kinds, 2,345 freight cars and
25 road-service cars
Physical Condition.— The condition of track and bridg a

54 1b. steel. 140; 52 lb. steel, 2. Bridges: iron spans on masonry,
5,574 lineal feet, or 9o-28 per cent of all. Tim ber trestles, creosoted
timber and gravel deck, 5,190 lineal feet; creosoted substructure,
creosoted caps and untreated two stringers, l ,120 fe e t; untreated two
stringers, 5,z67; untreated three stringers, 19,587. Bnrnetized oross
ties in track (No.), 1,214,56J, or 70-70 per cent of the whole; main line
ballasted, 283-6 > miles, or 62-65 per cent; branch line ballasted, 70
miles or 15-44 percent.
The property is in excellent physical condition and w e ll equipped.
Since April 11,1893, there has been expended for betterments and
additions *564,639 in addition to current renewals.

Speculation in cotton for future delivery has been consid
erably more active,, but at materially lower prices. Selling
has been general, prompted in part by the favorable pros
pects for the grow ing crop but more largely by the de
pression in financial and business circles, which restricts
the consumption o f spinners. The “ bear ” interest, how
ever, has not been particularly aggressive in its operations
as traders generally have not been disposed to keep a large
outstanding “ sh ort” interest at the prices now ruling.
Furthermore, while indications up to date are that the next
vie Id o f cotton w ill be a large one, there is yet time for un
favorable weather conditions to do serious damage to the
growing crop. Saturday and Monday there was a net de
cline in prices o f 20 to 34 points under free selling,
prompted by reports of further fa ll of rains
in
Texas and the Gulf States.
Tuesday the market fur
ther declined during early ’Change, but later in the day
“ shorts” bought freely to cover contracts, and prices rallied,
closing at a net advance of 2 to 5 points. Wednesday the
market again weakened, prices breaking 15 to 21 points
under renewed selling, prompted by the w eekly report o f the
Government’s Weather Bureau, which stated that the crop
in Texas was in a splendid state of cultivation and that
picking had become general in the southwestern part o f
the State.
Thursday there was an upward turn to
values, as Liverpool advices were better than generally
expected, and there were English buying orders in the mar
ket. There was also a demand from spinners in the local
spot market, and this stimulated a demand from shorts to
cover contracts, which also caused prices to improve. The
close was at a net advance o f 7 to 17 points for the day.
To-day the market was unsettled. The opening was at an
advance of 3 to 4 points in response to stronger advices from
L iverp o o l; then came a decline o f 8 to 10 points under gen
eral selling ; subsequently, however, there was a demand
from “ shorts ” to cover contracts and the loss was recov
ered, closing steady at an advance o f 1 to 2 points as com
pared with Thursday’s final prices. Cotton on the spot has
been quiet, and prices declined l-16c. on Saturday, 3-16c.
on Monday and %c. on Wednesday. To-day the market was
quiet at 1 -I 6 c. advance, m iddling uplands closing at 7J^c.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 1,063,100
oales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
2,261 bales, including 821 for export, 1,140 for consumption,
— for speculation and 300 on contract. The follow ing are
the official quotations for each day o f the past week—
July 11 to July 17.

very limited, and buyers have been quite indifferent in their
operations, but no changes of importance have been made in
quoted values. There have been fairly free offerings o f new
winter-wheat flour at below quotations for old crop. City
mills have been quiet and unchanged. A. lim ited jobbing
business has been transacted in rye flour at unchanged
values. Com meal has b *en quiet and without change. To
day the market for wheat flour was quiet but steady.
Theiehas been a limited amount of activity to the specu
lative dealings in the market for wheat futures, and while
prices have made fractional advances on less favorable crop
accounts from the Northwest, fairly large clearances for
export and steadier foreign advices, a material improvement
in value has been checked by the depression in financial
circles.
In the spot market the amount of business reported as

To-day the market was fairly active and prices ad
vanced rather sharply on fair buying, largely for Western
account, stimula ed by continued unfavorable crop accounts
from the spring-wheat section. In the spot market business
was checked by the advanced views of sellers. The sales in

Oats for future delivery have attracted slightly increased
attention and there has been some buying by “ shorts” to
cover contracts stimulated by reports that the crop was being
damaged by rust. In the spot market business has been fairly
active, as shippers have continued ‘buyers despite an advance

futures. The salps yesterday iucluded No. 2 mixed at

DRY GOODS TRADE.
N k w Y o r k , F r i d a y , P. M ., July 17. 1896.
In addition to the curtailment of production of cotton
goods by Eastern mills, referred to in last report, Southern
mills, controlling nearly 2 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 apindlea, are this week said to
have agreed upon a redaction of output to an average e x
tent of 38 per cent between now and October. This informa
tion has been received with the same indifference by buyers
as was the adoption of the curtailment policy of the Eastern
mills. The market in fact appears to be entirely independent
o f its own condition and altogether under the influence of
the prevailing political disquietude.
Buyers are with few
exceptions confining their purchases to limited quantities in
all departments. For these they are quite willing to pay cur
rent prices, and are careless as to what the future course of
values may be. Sellers, in face of this indifference, make no
special efforts to move stocks, and with the shortening of sup
plies are content to await further developments. The H. B.
Claflin Company's statement for the first half o f the year
attracted considerable attention this week by reason of its
poor showing. The net earnings on tha common stock were
but 11-100 per cent, against 5 67 100 per cant the preceding
half-year.
W o o l e n G o o d s . —The general opening of spring lines is
unusually late this year, as another week lias passed with but
little addition to previous display. Buyers and not sellers are
controlling the opening by shhwiog bo great an indifference
towards business for next spring that it appears worse than
useless to try and interest them to any pxtent. Some business
Is doing, but it is of such a perfuoctory character as to be of
no value »s a guide to the general situation. In heavy-weight
woolens and worsteds a fair number o f reorders came
to hand, but there is no activity, only small (juantities
being called for in the great m a jn ity of instances.
Low and medium grade fancy goods are still pre
ferred to higher grade fancies and plain staples.
Satinets are quiet, as are cotton-warp caisimeres and doeskin
jeans. Rough overc >atings are neglected and i'regular: plain
faced goid* in relatively fair rrqnes". Flm n*ls and blankets
are idle at unchanged (irices. Oarpe s steady, with a moder
ate bnsinees. Reorders for dress goods continue indifferent,
particularly to in plain go ids.

BOND
SALES I N
JUNE.
The total amount of municipal bonds issued and sold
during the month of June, as computed from our re
ports of sales, was $12,792,308. While this is the larg
est sum reached in any month of this year, it is not
unusual as compared with corresponding months of
previous years. In Jane 1895 the total was $15,907,441; in June 1894 it was $16,359,377, and in June
1892 it was $12,249,000. I f we turn to the figures for
June 1893, however, we find that the total in that
year was but $1,888,935. It should of course be re
membered that the silver panic was then at its height.
Prices last month continued strong and bids were num
erous for all the more desirable issues.
In the following table we give the prices which were
paid for June loans to the amount of $11,338,308,
issued by 53 municipalities. The aggregate of sales
for which no price was reported is $1,454,000, and the
total sales for the month $12,792,308. In the case of
each loan reference is made to the page of the Oh r o n cle where a full account of the sale is given.

D etroit, Mich.—II. 8 . Pingree, Mayor. The follow ing
statement of Detroit’s debt has been corrected by means of
the official report of City Comptroller F. A. Blaies for the
year ending June 30, 1896. The total net debt as given below
for this year includes the net special debt for street paving,
as the Ohio Legislature of 1895 amended the Stre-t Paving
A ct to make the street paving bonds run against the city’s
bonded debt limit. Previous to August, 1895, the street pav
ing bonds were not included in the reports of the city’s net
debt. It should be mentioned that $50,000 of public improve
ment bonds and $30,000 of public lighting bonds which are
listed in the table of loans are not included in the figures of
total debt, as they bear the date of July 1, 1896.
