It is also to be considered whether there
has not been an increase in the cost of certain items

special instances there have been still other contributing causes such as storms and floods, or kindred local
and temporary influences.
Whether one or all of these factors apply in the case
of any particular road it is not always easy to say.
Nevertheless, the fact that there is a large and general
increase in the expense account of the roads is an
important one, and one which if continued must modify

of differences and disagreements between the roads,
efforts have for some time been made to bring about an
improvement in the situation. These efforts have not

While there is, however, this large increase in the

They were doing a large business both in loans and in discounts, some of the other banks

Yet they have not done so. It is true that the rise in the
value of money here has stopped gold exports to the Continent.
The French and German exchanges are now more favorable
to this country, and the New York sterling exchange is nearly
at the gold-exporting point, yet shipments to South America
continue and the whole stock of gold held by the Bank is
under 21 millions sterling. Coin will be required for the internal circulation in considerable amounts during the next few
months, and in October and November there will be the usual
gold demands for Ireland and Scotland. Even without any
foreign demand, therefore, the stock seems inadequate, and if
there is a strong foreign demand the Directors may be obliged
to take very energetic measures to protect their reserve.

The reserve even now is under i\% millions sterling, and
the opportunity seems favorable for raising the rate since the
supply of money in the outside market is so small. Roughly

According to the Board of Trade returnM the exports of British

of the year show an increase in value of 6'82 per cent compared with the corresponding period of la«t year. For the
month of Juno alone the increase is as much as l.'i'ie per cent.

even if we add May and June together there is an increase of
over 18 per cent this year compared with the same two months
of last year. The chief growth in the exports is in metals
and articles manufactured therefrom, and in coal. There is,
however, a very handsome increase under all heads.
In the case of the imports there

is

a falling off in value for

The South American

has led to heavy selling of all
kinds of securities. Its effect has been aggravated by the
extreme scarcity of money, by renewed apprehensions respecting Bulgaria, and by the agitation among the poUce
and postmen, as well as by some insubordination in the Grenadier Guards. The Metropolitan Police have been agitating
for some time past for higher wages and better pensions.
Their demands were approved by Mr. Munro, the late Chief
Commissioner, but they are resisted by the Government. For
a while it was feared that a general strike would occur, but
there is no cohesion among the men, and the fear ha-s now
disappeared. It may be explained that the Metropolitan
Police of London are not a municipal force, but are governed
by the Home Office through a Chief Commissioner. The
postmen, who are also asking for higher wages, appear to be
better organized than the police, and to be resolved upon a
strike.
Already large numbers of them have been dismissed
in conse(iuence of an attack upon non-union men who have
lately been employed. The insubordination in the Grenadier
Guards appears to have been caused by the severity and incrisis

judiciousness of the commanding officer.
In consequence of all this, the feeling on the Stock Exchange this week has at times been almost panicky. The

here to be higlily favorable. But operators who had speculated

New York has all along been a ready buyer, though of
course at constantly declining prices. British railway stocks
have likewise all given way ; so have international securities
and even consols have fallen during the week nearly J>2.

Secretary Windom made the following statement in reeponse to inquiries in regard to his bond-buying policy:

recent very light ofterlngs of bonds, the Buri>lus has rapidly accumulated, until now It Is. In round numbers, #50,000,000, exclusive of $T3,000.000 fractional silver coin. The roeent act ot Congress transtorrlng $r>.'>,ooo,000 from the fund for redemption of national bank notes
makes a large portion of this fund also available tor the redemption ot
bonds. Tbe Department Is, therefore, in a position to retire a conaldnrable amount ot the interest-bearing obligations ot the Government,
and the advertisement issued to-day is simply intended to Invito the
bflndholders to

name

a price at whicli they are willing to sell to the

Government. The amount to bo taken wllldei>oud largely upon the
prices at which tUey maybe offered."

declared recently by the Trust Company, Mr. Dittenhoefer
said that the reduction of |1 60 was far from satisfactory to

in interest of

Sngar Trust —Treasurer Searles, of the Sugar Trust,
made the following statement prior to the issue of the circular
on reorganization
"Since the decision of the Court of
Appeals in the North River case, which practically decided
:

the Trust as now constituted to be illegal, the trustees and
their counsel have been steadily occupied in considering the
best course to be pursued in the interest of the certificate
holders. At a meeting of the trustees, held Tuesday, the
entire board being present, a conunittee was appointed with
full authority to take such action as is necessary to wind up
the Trust and provide for its reorganization.
"Under this authority a suit has been commenced in Kings
County in the name of the trustees in which the corporations
and all certificate holders are made defendants. The action
is brought for the purpose of winding up the Trust and providing for a sale of the properties under the authority of the
Court for the benefit of the certificate holders who are the beneficiary owners of the property.
"It is believed that this proceeding will preclude the necessity of any other legal action, certainly so far as the Attorney
General is concerned, which accomplishes everything he asks
for, providing as it dees for the winding up of the corixjrations in this State connected with the Trust and still further
for the winding up of the Trust itself. As the certificate
holders are made defendants in the suit this action will furnish an opportunity for any certificate holder to be heard and
save the necessity of any independent action.
"A circular letter to the certificate holders is in preparation
advising them of the action taken by' the trustees to wind up
the Trust and at the same time stating that while it does not
rest with the trustees as such to take the responsibilities of a
plan of reorganization, nevertheless as certificate holders, and
themselves largely interested in the property, and the future
of the business, they are desirous that a plan of reorganization shall be determined upon which shall be approved if
poB8ib!e by all certificate holders as being most favorable to
their interests and shall be attended with the least possible expense, delay and embarra-ssments.
"To this end they are willing to put at the disposition of the
certificate holders such information and experience as they
have and to render all the assistance in their power. The
circular nominates a committee on reorgani^tion and contains an invitation to such certificate holders as favor the
proposition and desire to co-operate with the individuals compoeing the entire board of trustees, to do so, and contains also
the necessary instructions."
The circular issued on July 25 says that the trustees
" Propose tliat Messrs. Theodore A. Havemcyer, F. O. Uattbiessen,
J. B. Thoiii.is, Jtio. E. Scenes, Jr., and J. A. bturslierg, together with
meh blinkers as they may select, he apiHilnted a committee hv the certitliate holders, with full iiower to represent them in the pendinir proved iiigs and to form a new organization for the purpose of protecting
Uie property and promoting the interests of the certifleate holders
" All eertlllcati- linlders who favor this proposition and desire to
cooperate with the undersigned in a plan of reorganization may scud
their ccrtllleales, with tniusfers, to the Central Trust Company of New
lork. accompanied by the enclosed power of attorney, dulv executed.
" The Central Trust Company will issue, in lieu of the certlflcates
of
the Sugar Rctlneries Company deposited, their certificates, which will
he ncgotuible with the same faculty as the iwesent certificates of the

Sugar lictlneries Company.

shall be had as

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
NKW TOBK.

Friday P. M.. July 25. 1890.

Although there were a great many out of-town packago
buyers in the market and ita vicinity during the week under
review, there was hardly as much animation in the trade aa
was expected by the commission houses. The demand for
seasonable goods was chiefly of a hand-to-mouth character
and moderate in the aggregate though probably in excess of
the corresponding timj in former years. Fall goods were ia
fair request by package buyers, and there was a good steady
movement in both dom ?stic and foreign fabrics on accounD

was

and upon the whole sluggish, but consiierably more
than an average trade was done by such houses as keep
abreast with the times. Values are practically unchanged
irregular,

save in the case of print cloths arid corresponding grades ot
brown cottons (specially adapted for conversion purposes), oa
which slight concessions have been marde in order to acceler

movement.

fancy cassimeres, worsted suitings, indigo-blue flannel suitings, etc., were received by the commission houses through
their traveling salesmen. Heavy goods adapted to men's
wear were in moderate demand, and there was a steady
movement in leading makes of heavy cassimeres, worsted
suitings, overcoatings, etc., on account of back orders,
Prices of clothing woolens remain steady, and stocks are by
no means redundant in view of the demand in sight. Light
weight «atinet3 were more active in some quarters, and there
was a fair movement in heavy goods of this class. Doeskin
jeans were in moderate request, and the production of these
goods has been so greatly curtailed of late that prices are very
firm on such makes as govern the market. Soft wool and
worsted dress goods were fairly active in movement and
demand, but cloakings and Jersey cloths ruled quiet, and
there was a limited business in carpets, shawls and skirts.
