But, though the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company also put in a bid at a figure below the estimated cost of the work, its bid was so much higher than that of the Belmont people that the Rapid Transit Commission obviously had no alternative but to award the contract to the latter. Moreover, the difference between the two bids (amounting to $5,000,000) is almost enough to allow of the construction of a second tunnel.

The result would have been that the southern terminus of the underground road would have had to remain at the City Hall as at present fixed, and any one desiring to pass through the City Hall to the Battery would have had to pay an extra fare. By the Belmont tunnel contract no extra fare will have to be paid by people living In Manhattan and in the Bronx, and the Brooklyn tunnel becomes an integral part of the underground rapid transit system. Passengers will be carried without extra charge not only to the Battery, but they will be carried into the heart of Brooklyn at the Long Island Railroad Depot at Atlautio and Flatbush avenues. In other words, the southern terminus of the underground road instead of remaining at the City Hall will be at the Long Island Railroad station in Brooklyn.

We spoke list week of the discussion which had arisen on Sir Michael Hicks-Bjach's retirement from the Exchequer as to the possibility of a change in Great B itain's trade policy. Such a suggestion had a doubl basis in the fact that the retiring Chancellor had been a sturdy and very outspoken defender of the existing free-trade system and in the further fact that Mr. Caamberlain, whose influence in the new nis try is assumed to be considerable, has strenuously advocated preferential tariffs as between England and its colonies. 1 1 some quarters the idea has been entertained that Ctiamberltin might be disposed to weaken the present system by instituting, against certain lines of imported merchandise, tariff j which might be relaxed in the case of imports from the colonies. C early, it would be impossible, if such a project were to be 'seriously mooted, to say where the matter might end. The question came up in Parlianent last Mmdaj, when Mr. Labouch&re put point-bla )k to the Ministry the inquiry "whether Sir Michail Hicks Bjach's resignation indicates the possibility of the adoption of a protective policy." The Premier, Mr. Balfour; responded that "there is no rea3on for believing that any policy settled upon by the Cabinet while Sir Mchael was a member of it would be changed by his retirement." This might seem a rather guarded answer; but, as a matter of fact, it so far responded to the belief and expectation of the English business 5 M community that there otherwise than as Wuk result follows. profit which drafts had previously bsen made.

The whol question 3 of Great Britain's normal atti- tude towards protection is brought up by M, YvesGayot, the well-kiown French economist, in an arti- — THE CHRONICLE. 158 by him for the current " Contemporary Review." This article begins by pointing out that complaints of English decadence, and the impending abandonment of its free-trade policy, are nothing new. As far back as 1851 books were published to prove that commercial decay in England was far advanced this on the very eve of the famous forward movement of trade expansion in the fifties, sixties and In 1880, M.

In 1885, when the Koyal Commission on the Depression of Trade submitted its report, four of its members favored, as the single remedy, imposition of a ten-per-cent duty on imported manufactures, and a similar tax on im ports of food which competed with products of jlndia and the Colonies. Mr. Chamberlain's leaning toward the last of the above-named expedients is mentioned merely to show that the present "Imperial Zollverein" anything but new.

What is there of tangible fact to show that this alleged commercial decadence has been in progress predominance has been no doubt less marked in certain recent years. In the calendar year 1900 the United States ran neck and neck with Great Britain in exported domestic merchandise. Excluding foreign goods re-exported, we shipped in that year $1,453,013>659, whereas Great Britain, making the same deductions, exported £291,191,996, or approximately $1,455,900,000. The closeness of these two totals is remarkable. It is true, also, that ten years before the similar annual export from the United States was some $845,000,000, whereas Great Britain's footed up $1,317,500,000. In other words, our progress during the decade was phenomenal. But how does this prove British decadence? The great central point is that England too has increased its outward trade; that the annual increase, barring ?

The capital now reported for the trust companies is $53,225,000, whereas on JanuFour new comary 1 1902 it was but $49,126,000. panies in this city account for $3,200,000 of the $4,100,000 increase, namely the Trust Company of the Republic with $1,000,000 stock, the Van Norden Trust Company with $1,000,000, the Broadway Trust Company with $700,000 and the McVickar Trust Company with $500,000. Bat the growth in deposlis has not come chiefly or even largely in that way. In fact, the four new companies combined hold deposits only a trifle over eight million dollars. The truth is, nearly all the companies have been adding to their business, and the larger and older companies have been rather more con spicuous in this respect than the others. On pages 190 to 195 of the present issue of our paper we print a detailed statement showing the returns of all the trust companies in New York City, covering the Borough of Brooklyn as well as Manhattan.

The addition proves to have been 63 million dollars, and the trust companies now have $603,436,621 loaned out in that way. This has been a favorite form with the trust companies, owing of investment to the availability of the money if needed and also to the fact that the companies are in position to take advantage of any advance in interest rates at times of an active money market. No further back than January 1900 the collateral loans of the trust companies stood at only $328,143,588, as against the $603,436,621 now, as will be seen by the following.

They never hold much cash in their own vaults, the amount June 30 being $10,481,712, but they had $118,496,675 more on deposit with the banks, making $128,978,387 together. With 603^ million dollars of money out on collateral and 129 millions of cash on deposit or on hand, it can readily be seen how great is the influence of the trust companies over the money market. 1, 1, 1, 1, Jan.

For the month of June— Arrivals: Germany, Money continues in good demand, but is somewhat more £58,000; Franoe, £13,000; United States, £421,000. Shipments: plentiful. A little while ago there was some expectation Germany, £15,000; Franoe, £13,000; Russia, £11,000; East Indies, that in the course of the present month the Bank of England might reduce its rate of discount. At present the feeling is the other way, chiefly because there has been a sharp fall in the Paris exchange upon London, leading to the fear that gold might be withdrawn from the Bank of England. The best opinion in Paris is that there will be no such withdrawals, and that even shipments from New York to Paris are unlikely, at all events upon a large scale. At the same time there is a revival of the demand for gold in the open market for Frenoh account. Half a million sterling in gold that was received from South Africa this week has been bought up for France. The best opinion in Paris seems to be that the demand is temporary, that the great banks did not expect so favorable a conversion proposal, that they thought it likely therefor that many holders would refuse to convert, and that they made preparations in consequence for assisting the the belief is that the conversion will be a great success and that very little of the old three and a-halfs will have to be paid up. If so, the demand for gold is expected to fall off. Consequently it is felt that the great French banks will not withdraw much of the balances they have so long been employing in London, and that even if, as is generally anticipated, an active speculation in rentes springs up, it will have to go on for a very considerable time before it makes any material impression upon the Paris money market. The conversion bill, in short, has reassured those engaged in the money market, both in London and in Paris. In spite of that, however, the feeling in London is that the Bank of England ought to maintain its rate at 8 per cent, although it is thought probable that money will become Government. Now more plentiful and somewhat easier. The India Council continues to sell its drafts fairly well.

President Roach gays in substance The increased earnings were all that your management could reasonably expect under the adverse conditions with which we had to oontend. Prospective profits, however, have been taxed into a defioit. This will sufficiently appear by reference to the enormous amounts : paid out for taxes during the past year, viz. Personal property taxes $112,493 Real estate taxes ._ 60,429 Capital stook tax 311,567 Car licenses and amounts paid to city per ordinances 64,893 Amount paid acoount taxes re-assessed for 1800, as directed by United States Court 134,350 Total This is equal to about $683,732; the total gross receipts for the year and to about 21 p. o. of the net reoeipts before deducting either the Interest on bonded indebtedness or rentals paid underlying companies. We have some reason to hope that for the current year the company may have its property, including capital stock, assessed upon the basis of its earning oapaoity. .The item of $134,350, additional tax for 1900, of course will not ooour again, and upon the basis of earning capacity the it* m of $311,567, capital stock tax for 1901 would be reduced by at least $100,000 and should be reduced by $i 25.000. Large sums were expended In permanent improvements in right of way, rolling stock and power plants. Several miles of new track have 8^ p. o. of rail joints have been oast-welded and upon improvements have been made we have re-surfaced our tracks, substituting granite, asphalt or briok pavement in place of cedar block or oobblestone. The improvements, when completed, will lessen the oost of operation and Improve the service to the publlo, but at present they eat heavily into the reoeipts, with no im- been laid, streets thousands of where city mediate financial return. Our rolling stock has been maintained at a high standard and lnoreased by a large number of new oars. In view of our heavy expenses for improvements the early settlement of the river bridge problem and the general prosperity of the community, the management confidently expect (barring unforeseen contingencies) that the ensuing fiscal year will show results more satisfactory to the stockholders of this company. The sale of unused real estate has brought in $74,000. Betterments, reconstruction and additions made to properly aggregated $273,646.

The plan follows the lines of the Chicago Alton readjustment of 1900 and provides for the formation of a new company, which will take over a majority of the stock of the present Rock Island company. It will thus control the entire Rock Island system, which has been recently almost doubled in extent through the construction of new mileage, the purchase of the Choctaw lines and St. Colorado, and the amalgamation of the Louis Kansas City Burlington Cedar Rapids Northern and Rock Island Peoria.

There is considerable speculation as to the motives prompting the taking of this action after so long a delay. The State Court of Appeals, however, has held, it is understood, that corporations continuing business in Kentucky after Sept. 28, 1897, implied thereby an acceptance of the Constitution. •Consequently formal acceptance brings the company into harmony with conditions to which it was already, it would seem, practically subject, as well as giving it the advantages which a State corporation may enjoy.

(see page 74 of Investors' Supplement). The first offered to build the tunnel for $2,000,000. The second bid proposed to contruct the tunnel for $3,000,000, and if this bid be nel. — accepted to construct in addition for the nominal $100,000 a sum subway under Broadway from Union Square of to 42d Street. Passengers in either case were to be conveyed from the Bronx to the Brooklyn terminal for one five cent — ; THE CHJRONICLE. 186 proposed to carry them to Jamaica, via the Island RR., for 3 cents additional. The Rapid Transit Company of Brooklyn bid $7,000,000, with free transfer to most of its lines, passengers, however, to Coney Island and other points south of Kings Highway to pay 5 cents extra. Each of the bids called for $1,000,003 additional for ter- fare, it being Long minals and real estate. Oj Thursday the Commission voted unanimously to ac cept the $2,000,000 bid of the Rapid Transit Construction Co., which represents the Belmont-McDonald syndicate. The alternative bid was not considered, counsel advu-iog that the Broadway extension could not be contracted for in the way proposed. The construction of the Brooklyn tunnel, it is said, will cost several times the amount bid by the Rapid Transit Construction Company, while the Broadway line from Union Square to 42d St. would cost, it is stated, at least $3,600,000. In view of the small cost to the city under the contract just awarded, the Commission voted to direct its Chief Engineer to prepare a plan for another tunnel railroad, this one to afford direct connection between the region of the Manhattan City Hall Park and the Borongh Hall Park in Brooklyn.

Those who believe the dividend will be passed and the voting — trust thus retained indefinitely, point to the inroads the strike of the anthracite mine workers has made upon the cash reserve fund of the company. Those who believe the directors are to declare the necessary 2 per cent dividend in order to do away with the voting trust point to the probability of the control of the company having changed hands, and the desire of the new owners— attributed generally to the Pennsylvanla-to seourethe direct management of the property. If the dividend is passed it will be looked upon by many as an indication that the Morgan interests desire to continue the present status of the proparty. If the dividend be declared, there are many who believe that it will mean the property has changed hands, and that a new power is to oontrol the future of the Reading. The "Philadelphia Press" also says that there is a growing belief that the Pennsylvania RR. and its allied interests are the powers behind the persistent buying of Reading. Owing to the extension of the Gould lines to the eastern seaboard, the object which would actuate the Pennsylvania in an effort to place the control of the Reading in friendly hands is not difficult to discover, but in view of the community of interests established with the Vaaderbilts touching the Lehigh Valley and other coal properties, it is scarcely likely that the Pennsylvania would attempt to bay the Reading single handed.— V. 74, p. 1356. St. Charles Street Ry., New Orleans.—-Offer for Control.

O., and several minor companies. The company has made a collateral trust mortgage, secured by the stocks owned, to the Colonial Trust Co. of Pittsburg, as trustee, to secure $2,000,000 of 6 per cent $1,000 gold bonds, dated June 1, 1902, and due $500,000 yearly from 1904 to 1907, both inclusive, but not subject to call. Prior liens outstanding, none. We have been favored with the following from one in a position to know the facts The company praotioally covers the natural gas interests as at present existing owned by Theodore N. Barnsdall, who Is the largest Individual oil and gas operator in the United States to-day. In conjunction with this corporation he has entered into a joint oompany dual with the Standard Oil interests to lay 200 miles additional pipe in the heart of West Virginia, which will insure both his own oompany and the Standard Oil interests at Toledo, Ohio, an ample supply of gas for years. The Union Natural Gas Corporation is proceeding at onoe to re-plpe the towns of Findlay, Fostoria, Sandusky, Fremont, Buoyrus, Wooster, and in fact nearly all of the olties of Northwestern Ohio again for natural gas, thus making the strange situation of West Virginia gas being piped to and soid in the former great gas fields of North western Ohio. It Is estimated that the net earnings of the corporation will be over $1,000,000 a year, as the present constituent companies are earning $800,000 now, gross, and these earnings will be largely increased. Over a million of these short-term bonds have been placed at par and interest, and they are rapidly being taken by banks. President, T. N. Barnsdall; Secretary and Treasurer, E. P. Whitcomb.

The parties who own the bulb: of the cotton held inNevYork issued notices unexpectedly on Tuesday for the delivery of 85,000 bales on the July contracts which they had sold agunst their holdings o c actual cotton. These notices circulated somewhat freely and brought out selling for the account of speculative holders. Another factor that has had a tendency to induce liquidation on the part of speculative holders of August contracts has been the receipt of advices from the South saying that the movement of the new crop will be e irly and that there will be a considerable quantity of new cotton available, if necessary, for the delivery on August contracts. Prominent factors in the market have taken advantage of the break in prices in the summer months to buy in their contracts for these deliveries r Speculation the new-crop months. Liverpool cable advices h we reported that there has been considerable liquidation in that market of the specuTative holdings for Egyptian and New Orleans account. Weather reports from the South have been in the main favorable, and the encouraging outlook for a full yield from the growing crop has had its influence against valu >s. To-day notices were issued for the delivery of 40,000 bale3 of July contracts; they were well taken care of, and free buying by shorts to covsr contracts held the market firm. The close was stea ly, with prices 1 point lower to 7 points higher far the day. Cotton on the spot has been easier, closing at 9c. for middling uplands.

Despite, however, the steadiness shown in the near-by positions, the fall ani more distant months have shown a tendency to sag. The weather reports and the crop news from both the West and Europe have continued favorable; this, coupled with a steadily increasing crop, has movement of the new induced some short selling by regular traders. Comparatively little outside speculative interest is at present being shown in the market.

Feeding duly Government Weekly Grain Report.— Mr. James Berry, Chief of the Climate and Crop Division of the U. S. Weather Bnrean, made public on Tuesday the telegraphic reports on the grain crops in the various States for the week ending July 21 as follows: Weather.— The Lower Missouri and Upper Missis* ippi valleys and Lake region have oontinned to sufferfrom excessive rains, which have also interrupted farm work in the Ohio Valley and in portions of the Middle Atlantic States and New England. Much injury to crops and other property has resulted from overflows in Iowa and portions of Illinois, Missouri and Michigan. Drought has been largely relieved in the Southern States, bnt extensive areas in that section are still much in need of rain, especially the northern portions, extending from Oklahoma eastward to the Can Unas. The temperature oonaitions as a whole have been favorable, although rather lowm the northern Rooky Mountain districts. The North Pacific ooast States sustained considerable damage from high winds and the Dakotas and Minnesota from hailstones In scattered localities Corn.— The corn crop has made splendid progress in the States of the central valleys, except in towa and limited portions of Missouri and Illinois, the condition of the crop In Iowa being fairly good on well tilled uplands, but great damage has resulted from floods on the river bottoms of the sontbern and eastern portions of that State and Highly favorable reports are reoelved from in Northern Illinois. Nebraska, Kansas and the greater part of Missouri and Illinois, and a deoided improvemeiit in the condition cf the orop in the Ohio Valley is Indicated. Winter Wheat.- Rains have interfered with the harvesting of winter wheat where unfinished in the extreme northern district", and have also been unfavorable for thrashing in the central valleys, while considerable wheat in shock in the lower Missouri Valley has been damaged. Harvesting continues in California and has begunin Oregon, where wheat is filling nicely. The crop in both Oregon and Wash ington has, however, sustained considerable damage from reoent high winds. Spring Wheat.— Spring wheat has advanced favorably in the principal spring- wheat States, but has sustained injury in scattered localities from hailstorms. Oats.— Oats harvest is finished In the Southern States and is in progress in the central valleys, and while lodging Is extensively reported from the Ohio, upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys and Lake region, the general condition of the orop continues satisfactory. rW For other table* ally erlven here ie« pave 109.

Buying of heavy-weight sheetings and drills by the home trade has been on a quiet scale only, and in light- weight sheetings the demand has been quieter than a week ago. The export demand has been quiet. Prices are without quotable change in any grade. In bleached muslins and bleached cambrics the situation is unchanged, the former are quietly steady; the latter in fair demand and firm. Sales cf wide sheetings are limited at previous prices. Denims, plains, cheviots and other coarse, colored cottons are steady in price, with a moderate business in progress. Ducks are steady. Brown osnaburgs dull and irregular. Kid-finished cambrics dull and barely steady. The market for both staple and fancy prints is steady in tone, but badness has ruled quiet throughout, although showing fuller results than last week. Fine printed fabrics continue in fair re quest for next year. Scarcity of supplies has again been the chief feature in the gingham division; business is restricted thereby. Regular unchanged at prii t cloths are o*c., Narrow witn no business. odds are in moderate demand, and wide odds quiet at last week's advance in price. Foreign Dry Goods.— A fair demand has been reported for imported dress goods in high-grade staple? and fancies for spring at steady prices. Silks and ribbons are firm with a moderate demand.

There has been an increase in the aggregate volume of business in progress in the dry goods market at first bands, but it has not been of a significant character, in so far that it fails to reveal aiy change in the general disposition of buyConservatism is still the chief feature in both the ers. cotton tnd woolen goods divisions. In the former there is more doing for quick shipment, owing evidently to positive needs on the part of buyers expanding gradually and in the latter because new lines of men's-wear fabrics are being opened for spring. The cotton goods situation is slow in changing. There v as a gain last week in the print cloth division, but it has made no progress this week, the advance then secured on wide goods having apparently chected the demand to some extent, while in other divisions conditions are unaltered, neither sellers nor bujers seeming disposed to initiate an aggressive movement. BuyiDg cf ttaple lines for fall trade is backward, but even with that the- re is no oppressive accumulation of goods in first hands. The market is net free from irregularity, but the irregularity is of a negligible character, that is it does not affect standard lines, nor is it a prominent feature. Woolen Goods.—There have been no important additions during the past week to the new lines of men's-wear woolen and worsted fabrics in light weights fcr next spring, and the display so far is almost entirely confined to the lower grades in both staples and fancies. Next week is extected to biing out some of the leading makes in staple varieties at least. Meanwhile the demand for snch goods as are shown has been quiet in the aggregate, buyers evidently preferring to wait until they have opportunities for making fuller selections befoie operating with any degree of freedom. It is said that an effort will be made to secure advanced prices on some of the forthcomirg lines of worsteds, but up to the present time business has been done on about the same price basis as last season. The re- order business in heavy weights There is quiet, but prices, with few exceptions, are firm. have been no developments of any moment in the market 201 a > a x »co ©lo ©-^ to© © to X ex w CO 01 © CD CO-J©COtO coco CO -to ©<l ao»*>j»oi ec en to © MOCCOIH oieoCT-'coto 'enoieoos'co »> ^-1 i^mi-cocp 8 © to ** -JOD^^CO M <1 * Mcoeti^ts mcoc ~ tooi so •A MO»mcoamCO — CSM-Jm 01 V to C CO CC *- t otwl S • > MR. 2 f « • c 5ST 0.' * M«S t *- 01 M OOCOrf^WflS oaoao^ *>.<ixceto COCO *H fU *» CO no vo CO (t) {0 CO CO*tB. © COM en coco 01 CO O& to toco coco toco coot * tOM CO *• A.
